Joel 203: The God Of Freedom! He cannot be the God of Predestination and no freedom!

We start out with the Feist Days and which one is associated with the rapture. What is going on in Job 1 with the Angels assembled has direct correlations with Revelation 9. But is there any connectivity between this and where we left off with the Hedge, the kiss, the sop, and the cup? Oh yes. God drinks the cup and God dips the sop. And we bring in Simeon the Pharisee. That ties directly into the Simeon prophecies, where Jesus did not need Simeon to carry the crossbeam. And then there’s the old man Simeon waiting for the Christ child. There’s much more of course... but you’ll have to listen with your finger poised over the pause button if you’re taking notes. We get back to the kiss by comparing kisses, particularly the kiss from the lady that has her sins forgiven.

So, we’re going to be laying foundation here and it’s much more complexed than we can imagine. We go to the Passover Lamb... There’s four of them. We must compare them and find out what’s different and what’s the same. No one can kill this Passover Lamb except the Passover Lamb. But the immediate task is to evaluate the dipping of the sop. Why is God honoring Judas? The preeminent name of Jesus is Salvation. The Hand that delivers us is handing the sop to Judas. He reaches His hand down to us, and we take it... using our free will. And Judas, with Satan inside of him, delivers Christ with a kiss. How does the sop fit with predestination? It doesn’t. Jesus says you will know the truth and the truth will make you free. God is the God of freedom, not the God of no free will. Predestination is forced slavery!

You’ll get a lot more out of this by listening... obviously. So, press play.
