π✨ Summary of Video Content: “What Brings God Down?” ✨π
This video explores the theological and biblical perspective on what actions or events prompt God to intervene directly in human affairs, with a strong focus on ⚠️𧬠human cloning and its spiritual implications. The speaker argues that God is deeply concerned with preserving the natural order He established, especially regarding His creation—human beings. π¨π©π§π¦π
π Key Topics and Insights
⚖️ God’s Intervention Trigger
The speaker teaches that God does not usually intervene directly because of wars, politics, or ordinary human conflict. ⚔️π️
Instead, divine intervention is said to occur when mankind interferes with God’s created order and His “children.” πΆπ
➡️ Humanity tampering with life itself is presented as crossing a spiritual boundary established by God.
𧬠Human Cloning
The video explains how cloning has moved from science fiction into real scientific capability. π§ͺπ¬
π Examples Mentioned
Dolly the sheep
Mice
Cows
π Two Types of Cloning Discussed
1️⃣ Embryo Splitting / Twinning
Splitting embryos to create genetically identical organisms
Compared to natural identical twins π―
2️⃣ Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
The cloning process used for Dolly the sheep π
Uses DNA from one adult donor cell placed into an egg without a nucleus
⚠️ The speaker argues that human cloning violates God’s design for creation and represents mankind attempting to replace or imitate God’s role as Creator.
π Biblical Foundation — 1 Corinthians 15
The speaker heavily references Paul’s teachings regarding:
The natural body π§
The spiritual body ✨
Resurrection ⚰️➡️π
Key Themes:
God gives every seed its own body π±
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God π
A natural body must die before receiving a spiritual body
The message emphasizes that:
➡️ God alone determines the form and purpose of life.
1\ Corinthians\ 15:38;;\text{But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.}

What does God think about Cloning?
Let's talk about what brings God down. You know, he's made a few trips and it's good for you to do research about what gets his attention to the point that he comes down. And usually it's not war, okay? He kind of expects us to take care of those ourselves with his blessings, of course. But there is one thing when you start messing with his kids and that is natural, he gets very upset. I want to talk about cloning. Until now the idea of human cloning has only been possible through movie magic.
But the natural progression of science is making human cloning a true possibility. We've cloned sheep, mice, cows. So what's to stop scientists from cloning a human? Some countries have set up laws banning cloning. Our country happens to be one of them. But it is still legal in many countries. And so it is, of course I have said many times I don't think it's possible but I've kind of been shown otherwise. Listen to this a moment. The human genome project: researchers cloning refers to copying genes and other pieces of chromosomes to generate enough identical material for further study. Two other types of cloning produce complete genetically identical animals. Blastomer separation, which sometimes is called twinning after the naturally occurring process that creates identical twins, involves splitting a developing embryo soon after fertilization of the egg by sperm to give rise to two or more embryos. Now, that would kind of be knocking on the door because you're still working basically natural in a way, but you're messing with it. The resulting organisms are identical twins or clones containing DNA from both the mother and father. Dolly, on the other hand, is the result of another type of cloning that produces an animal carrying the DNA of only one parent. Using somatic cell nuclear transfer, scientists transferred genetic material from the nucleus of an adult sheep's udder cell to an egg whose nucleus and thus its genetic material had been removed. All cells that are not egg or sperm cells are somatic cells. Now talk about not natural. This is getting to where in a sense we're talking about like somebody wanted to have eternal life simply by taking their DNA and removing part of the DNA of an egg, inserting their own and dreaming of having eternal life. I guarantee you it's not going to work because I do not believe our Father will put up with it. He created man the way he wanted him in the natural sense. And when we start messing with this, we're knocking on the doors. We're going to go to God's word and let him answer this particular question.
Turn with me to First Corinthians chapter 15. I will not comment on stem cell research because I personally do not have the knowledge or information as to exactly what's planned in that operation. But it could fall in basically one of the same categories if it interferes with an embryo and a living embryo which we know these that we're going to be experimenting with are basically not useful. So anyway, I'm not going to comment on stem cell. I'm talking about cloning. But at the same time I want to say I'm not too sure but with stem cell research that we couldn't in certain categories — you know there are many ways to receive stem cells, our cells, other than from an embryo. All right, the placenta, the umbilical cord — I probably better say — and so forth. But what does God say about this? And what causes God to come down to man? I think that's what's important to you and I think that's what you need to know.
Okay. Chapter 15, this is Paul speaking of our bodies. Verse 36: "Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened" — that means it's not made alive — "except it die." Verse 37: "And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain." But naturally, what is natural? You can't — God created the body. I feel he is against someone trying to make a body. Verse 38: "But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body." Verse 39: "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds." I truly believe that all these are important to God. People — you know, you'd be surprised how many questions I get about, "Will I have my pets?" Well, they're God's pets, too. God loves his animals. And here he mentions all the various types of flesh.
Verse 40: Now widen your mind please. "There are also celestial bodies" — that means heavenly — "and bodies terrestrial" — that means earthly. That means you've got both heavenly bodies, spiritual bodies, and earthly bodies. You happen to be — your domicile right at this time happens to be a flesh body unless we've got some celestials walking around in here somewhere. But the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another. They're separate. And as it is stated in the first second verse I read, this body must die before you can put the other one on. Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. You've got to put on that spiritual body. Man cannot design his own salvation or eternity. God will not — that makes him angry, as we're going to find.
Verse 41: "There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory." Now, God's children were called the stars. Satan drew a third of the stars of heaven, meaning God's children when in the first earth age. You're different. Each one is different. It's the way he created you. Man has no control whatsoever over how the spiritual body functions. And man certainly can't kill a spiritual body. Only God can destroy a spiritual body. Many people can do whatever they want to with your flesh, but not the spiritual body. Only God. Why am I saying that? He's in charge. That's why you want to pay attention to what his rules are. And you certainly want to go by those rules.
Verse 42: "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption." Verse 43: "It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power." We do have weaknesses. The flesh cons us all the time. Your flesh is going to say, "I believe I'd like to have a big old pint of ice cream" or whatever. Nah, you don't need any ice cream. "I need it bad," you know. Or none of you would understand this, but some would say, "Lord, I haven't had a smoke for 30 minutes. Whoa, this is getting serious. I wish that preacher would hurry up." Or I've even taught Bible studies where an old boy would come in and he'd say, "Could you hold it there and let me run out to my truck a minute?" "Well, yeah, sure." And you wonder what he comes back in. Whoa. Yeah, let's go on.
And hey, that happened not too many miles from here. And I, bless his heart, he beat it. The word — many might say, "You mean you were teaching a drunk?" You bet. He needed it bad. And I mean, he came off of it all by himself cold turkey after about 10 lessons from the word. But, you know, you let your body wrestle you around and you don't have to put up with that. You can get tough with it and discipline yourself.
Verse 44: This is why I came here. "It is sown a natural body." Now, did that say it's sown a manufactured body? Did it say that it's a body that comes from the genes of only one entity? No. It said natural. "It is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." There is no mention of anybody other than that that is natural or spiritual in God's word. Well, we get a little hanky-panky here that we're going to cover in a little bit. God is very jealous of his handiwork. He created you just the way he wanted you.
Now, like I said, I wish I were more of an authority, and I suppose no one is an expert in it yet, or they'd be further along than they are, but I understand they're having much trouble with some of their clones. They're not natural — I'm talking about animals now. But you know something, it would not surprise me that in some countries they're attempting human cloning. You know, many of you might have seen a television show not long ago about two parents that built their own lab because they lost a child. It's sad. It's very sad. And they're going for it even though it is illegal in this country, but I'm saying it may not happen in this country, but it's going to happen somewhere. And what do you think God might say about it?
Turn with me to the great book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 45. You should all be familiar with this 45th chapter because it's the chapter I refer to so many times where God says, "I didn't create this world void. I created it to be lived in." Chapter 45, verse 9. I got two pages sticking together here or something. What's going on? My poor old Bible. Well, I'll tell you what — it would help a lot if I was out of Jeremiah because Jeremiah chapter 45 doesn't have nine verses. I thought I'd lost my wheel. See, that's the trouble with these human bodies. You got to watch them.
All right. Isaiah chapter 45. Let's go with verse one — let's — what am I after here? I want you to see what our Father says and thinks. Grasp his emotions. I'm going to call on them in just a moment. Verse 9 of Isaiah 45: "Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?" God says, I don't want you complaining about what I've made, what I've created. Verse 10: "Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?" God wants it natural. And he expects respect. And he utilizes the human being — if your child said to you something of that nature, you'd be a little upset, you'd be hurt. Well, why would God do that? Because he wants you to know it hurts him. It hurts him for you to say, "Why did you do this? Why have you brought all this trouble on me?" And God's going to say, "Hey, I didn't do it. You did it to yourself, fool." He likes his children to think for themselves.
Verse 11: "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." In other words, I'm in charge. I'm in control. I made it the way I want it. Don't ask me. So, you know, you start messing around with cloning and this sort of thing, it upsets him. We're going to find out just how much. What I'm going to document to you is every time this happens, God has made an advent. That's how serious this is. He won't come back because of a war. But I feel that cloning will probably bring him back. Let's document that. Let's don't just say it. But the reason I wanted you to see this is that our Father, whether you're proud of yourself, he's kind of proud of his work, and he expects his work to love and appreciate him. After all, he's made it pretty easy.
Now, I was in Jeremiah a little bit ago. Let's go back there again. Many of these you're familiar with, but I want it fresh in your mind when I start bringing the documentation forth here. Jeremiah chapter 4. You're all familiar with it. This is when in the first earth age, what brought God down to earth? Well, when we read Romans chapter one, we find out there was some pretty bad stuff going on with his so-called sons of heaven. There was some pretty bad ones. Do you know what he did to the earth at that time? That brought about the first katabole, the overthrow.
Jeremiah 4:22 — all of you are familiar with this, but I insist it be fresh in your mind: "For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children" — that means they're just a little bit stupid or silly — "and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge." You know, you can put a lot of work into certain experiments. We have a healer and we have healers that need not go out of the line of that which is natural by simply crossing.
Now verse 23: "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light." I destroyed it all. If you think I won't do it, mess with me. That's what he's saying. I get angry is what he's saying. You mess with me and I'll take it all out. I did it once before. That's what he's saying. Verse 24: "I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly." Verse 25: "I beheld, and, lo, there was no man" — I destroyed them too, first earth age — "and all the birds of the heavens were fled." And many people will say, well, this is talking about Noah's flood. Uh-uh. Noah had doves and ravens and all kinds of parties on the ark. And besides that, the earth wasn't destroyed. The dove brought back an olive branch in just a short period of time. It wasn't dead. Okay, got it. Verse 26: "I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger." Oh, he will come down. And I think we're messing with something that's going to bring him down. If we're not very careful, if they are not very careful, I think it rings the bell and begins to draw the curtain, quite frankly.
Verse 27: "For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end." Verse 28: "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it." I'm going to do it. If you mess with me, if you go against my law, I promise you I'll be back.
Now, when in history — let's test God out just a little bit here concerning his coming back. What really ticked him off to the point that he would? Let's go to Genesis. He created the garden as you all know. He communicated with man pretty good then. But then man — there wasn't a whole lot of law that man had to go by. The only law that man, Adam, had to remember: don't mess with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Just leave it alone. That's all the commandment there was, basically, except you can take the apple trees and all the rest of them and just eat all you want. And of course we know what that tree was. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was Satan. And naturally Satan is usually the prime that can bring God down.
Genesis 3:15 — God speaking to the serpent, the devil, the tree: "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." That's important. That's the crucifixion, of course. But Christ will take out the head of Satan. And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." What brought him down? What did he do? He drove them out of the garden because of this. Because of what? They were messing with the natural order that God had placed for his children. And we ended up with a Kenite. So what did he do? It brought him down. He drove them from the garden.
Genesis chapter 6 — what brings him down? Verse 1: "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them" — the Adamic children — "that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." Now, this is just not natural. You have a person — all of us made in the image of Almighty God — and the angels, the Elohim. And here we've got Nephil. Nephil comes from the prime fallen. They're fallen children. Why? They left their place of habitation as it's written in Jude. And what did they do with the natural order of things? They took wives of who they weren't supposed to — earthly beings. They're two different bodies. They were in a spiritual body. I know it's hard for some to receive that that are not learned. And I don't say that talking down or making fun or mocking, but you know the tools — if you don't accept it, you can check it out and see that I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Verse 3: "And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man." He doesn't like it. That's the one thing that really gets his motor going: to mess with the natural order of his children in offspring. "For that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Verse 4: "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." See, this blew God's plan of having each child born innocent to make his or her mind up whether they would love God or follow Satan. But to create hybrids which is unnatural — much like a clone — that's not a correct statement. It would be the same category, fall in the same category I believe in God's eyes: that it's not natural. It messes up his plan for man to try to figure out how he can find eternal life other than following God. Well, what do you mean eternal life? Well, you keep extracting DNA from a being and insert your own over and over and pretty soon — well, is that possible? Well, I don't know, but I don't think God wants us messing with it. It has been done with animals.
Verse 5: "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." When you break away from God's plan and start building on another base, it's trouble. The world goes downhill fast. I mean, if you don't believe it, just get you a little old nation where they take prayer out of schools and start showing funny things to children about blowing kids away and see what happens. You hear of Columbine and a few other places. Why? It's not following the plan of God. Wickedness.
Verse 6: "And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." It hurt him. It hurts him when man starts messing around with nature. Verse 7: "And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created" — I have created, not cloned — "from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." But guess what? Verse 8: "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." He found one that his generation — that is to say, his pedigree — was still clear. Neither he nor any of his children had mixed with the fallen angels. So that was enough for God that he could destroy everyone else, but it brought God down. He interceded. We're looking for a second advent. Something's going to bring God down. Something's going to make his cup spill over. I think it's beginning to be pretty obvious what perhaps one of those things might be. And it's the subject we're discussing now.
Let's go to chapter 10 of this same book — I'm sorry, chapter 11. What brings God down? It's very important. You're looking for the end, or you're wondering where the end might be. When he comes, that's it. Chapter 11 verse 1: "And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech." The whole earth. They were working together, hand and glove. I mean, you couldn't have it any better. The whole world. Now, I'm going to say some things that I'm not going to explain 100%. When I see the whole world working together and pulling together, hey, you can accomplish some good things. We have a situation like that right now almost. You know, everybody's saying, "Let's get the terrorists." They're all pulling together. But you know what comes to my mind — and this is I'm not digressing — now listen carefully. And I'm not going to explain past this. My mind as a student of God's word goes back to the time that God assigned Jehu to wipe out the Babylonians. What does Jehu mean? "A little peace" in his chariot. "We got God's blessings. Let's get him." I mean, he was riding high, fast, and furious. And here's his little friend, Jonadab, a little Kenite, saying, "Hey, slow down. Stop. How are you doing, good buddy? Give me your hand." And Jehu says, "Come on up into my chariot. We're going to go over and wipe them out." And he said, "Well, let me go with you. I don't want to get wiped out." He took a Kenite right into his chariot doing God's work. Now, when we see the whole world pulling together, that's good. But let's be wise enough to understand what's happening. God's saints, God's set-aside ones should be able to see it and understand it without pictures being drawn as to exactly where we're headed here. In other words, do you think God approved of that there? "Boy, they're really working it out." Let's see what God thought about it. That's what we came here for.
Verse 2: "And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar." Do you know where that is? It means "two rivers" in the Hebrew tongue. And it's Babylonia. Plain old Babel. Real Babylon, right where we have Iraq today. "And they dwelt there." Verse 3: "And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly." They didn't take natural rock like you're supposed to build something, especially if you're building it to heaven or to God. "And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar." I mean, we got it all working good. Verse 4: "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven." Now, this is what gets people in trouble: when they start trying to reach unto heaven. There's some that's knocking on his door and he's going to answer. "And let us make us a name" — and that means a name other than the name of God, too. That means let us make it. You know what they're doing? They just had a big flood and they're building them a tower to heaven so they can keep up out of the — bake them brick where that water won't soak them up. "We're going to defeat God's plan and save ourselves. We're going to work out our own salvation until we have our own eternity in our own heaven and we'll have a name to ourselves." Do you think God will be pleased? Well, I don't know. Let's find out. "Lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
Verse 5: "And the Lord came down." What brings him down? "The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded." Tower of confusion. Boy, we've got them today. Verse 6: "And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Boy, they're not going to listen to my word. They're going to just do whatever their little old imagination chooses. Verse 7: "Go to, let us go down" — yep, this is what brings him down — "and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." Verse 8: "So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city." That put a stop to it.
Turn with me to Daniel chapter 4 in the minor prophets. Let's get down to the end time. Daniel chapter 4. You're all familiar with this, but we're going to take it a little deeper today. Nebuchadnezzar had a dream. Incidentally, Nebuchadnezzar wrote this chapter — chapter 4 in the book of Daniel. He had a dream and it's very important to you even to this day what that dream was, what it meant. Verse 11: "The tree grew, and was strong" — this dream he saw this huge — I mean it was a high tree — "and the height thereof reached unto heaven." Whoa. Boy, there you got it. A Babylonian tree that reaches to heaven. That's trouble coming out the gate, friend. "And the sight thereof to the end of all the earth." In other words, this applies to the end time of all the earth. Verse 12: "The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it." They loved it. They were all together around this tree. And of course, we know Daniel's interpretation here.
Verse 13: Nebuchadnezzar continues, "I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven." In other words, this is straight from God. He reached it. He reached heaven. Verse 14: "He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches." Verse 15: "Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven" — that means even truth, if you would — "and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth." It's important that you know what this word "band" means. In the Hebrew, "ishshur" is cruel. It's kind of like secure. It means manacles. Put handcuffs on that rascal and throw him in a holding and lock him up. That's what it means. Check it out. The word "band" in the Hebrew — when you have the opportunity — put handcuffs on him, shackle him for a while.
Verse 16: "Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him." Whoa. What does that mean? Are we talking about years, days, dispensations? I'll tell you, we're talking about dispensations. What is the seventh dispensation? It's the Lord's day. It's a thousand-year period. You have to add the first earth age and then take your Strong's Concordance, go to that appendix, add the first earth age — I don't know why they didn't do it there, but they didn't — and you'll find that the seventh dispensation is the Lord's day.
Verse 17: "This matter is by the decree of the watchers" — that's to say the angels — "and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men." He uses whoever he wants to. That's even to today. I'm going to document that before we leave here. He's even talking about today. He's in charge. He controls everything. I guess — do you let him control you? If you want to be blessed, that's the way you're blessed.
Verse 18: "This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar" — this is Daniel, this is his Babylonian name — "declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee." I know that you know — he had done it before. He knew that God blessed this boy. Verse 19: "Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour." Wonder what that one hour signifies. Wonder if it could be the hour of temptation. Think about it. "And his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee." He loved Daniel. "Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies." Who is the enemy of the king of Babylon? Spiritually speaking, who is the king of Babylon? Well, it's Satan in the end times. And this vision is to Satan's enemies. I don't know. Are you one of Satan's enemies? I would hope so. I hope you're not his friend. So, it's written to you about the king of Babylon. That's what Daniel has said here.
Verse 20: "The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all" — I mean, a chicken in every pot. Woo! Think about it. "Under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation" — I mean there was plenty for everybody in that one world system. That Babylonian system, it was fine. Verse 22: "It is thou, O king, thou art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth." And of course now we're going future, definitely future.
Verse 23: "And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth" — leave it where? Take it away, burn? No, leave it in the earth. That's where you live, friend. "Even with the band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him" — until the end in the futurist sense of the seventh dispensation. When's that? Well, it's the end of the millennium. Keep that there.
Verse 24: "This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:" Verse 25: "That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will." Does that remind you of something? The reason I bore down on "secure" or "manacles" — it should remind you of something. Wonder who this one was. This person of God that came down, this angel that came down. I don't know what angel it is that handles the king of Babylon. What's written in Revelation 12 verse 7 and 8? Michael the Archangel threw Satan and his angels out of heaven. What do you do with him? Hold your place here, but turn over to Revelation chapter 20.
What happened here in Revelation 20 verse 1? "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand." How — what's that? It's manacles. This angel had manacles in his — incidentally, we're talking about the old devil. Well, let's read one more verse: "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years" — it's a long time. Well, who is the devil, the serpent, other than the king of Babylon, king of confusion? He's called it over and over, and he's handcuffed, tied just as it is written in the book of Daniel that he is handcuffed for that seventh dispensation for a thousand years. That's the millennium. That's what a thousand years is.
Verse 3: "And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season." Verse 4: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus" — many of them were in the old days, Coliseums, and so forth — "and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." What a time of teaching. That's the dew falling from heaven, friend. And do you know something? The man Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was converted. He learned to love the Lord greatly. But Satan himself will be put in that pit. What happened in chapter 3 of Daniel before we started reading here? What did they build out in the desert that was threescore (which is 60) by six — an image? And they said, "Everybody's going to worship this image" — not Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And they set the example for you in this generation that you would not be deceived.
So there you have it. Now there's some very interesting information following in this chapter 4. What brings God down from heaven? Verse 26 of that same fourth chapter: "And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule" — when you convert. Verse 27: "Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility." Will he? Will people today begin to obey God? Are they still going to try to design a body that's eternal? That's good stuff, you know. Very well. We'll just whip us up a little something here.
Okay, listen carefully. Verse 28: "All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar." Verse 29: "At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon." Boy, it doesn't take long. Twelve months after a direct visit from God, a message — what's he going to be doing? I mean, he loved the Lord. I feel that the five months are probably included within this twelve, if you want to know the truth about it when Satan is kicked out first from heaven for a short period of time. Listen to it. Verse 30: "The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?" Boy, I mean, he changed quick, didn't he? Where's God in that? He left him out. Make sure you don't, especially in this generation. This twelve months of real good sailing is when Antichrist shows up and he's got his shopping cart ready for you. Honey, just go on, get whatever you want. It's all on me. I'm big daddy. Just all you got to do is just love me and stop being silly studying the word. "I am the word," he will say. I mean, there's plenty for everybody. Even the birds of the air, they're all happy. Again, a chicken in every pot. And as it's written further on in Daniel chapter 7 and 8, he comes in peacefully and prosperously.
Verse 31: "While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee." Hey, God doesn't mess around. Verse 32: "And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth." Now to make a long story short, he does go — in the futurist sense here — he goes to that. And even historically there is a seven-year period where you don't read about Nebuchadnezzar a whole lot in their history, but it was only a type of what's to be at the end. Make sure that you don't get drawn into this. It would be real easy. The whole world works together. Watch Jonadab, especially in this generation. Be careful.
Verse 34, real quickly: "And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation." And Nebuchadnezzar was converted. What brings God down? Mess with his kids. Mess with that which is natural.
What song is it that you're supposed to learn real good that you're supposed to sing as it's written in Revelation 15 at the very end? Isn't that called the Song of Moses? I believe they do. These are the words that will be on the lips of those that overcome. And you find that Song of Moses in Deuteronomy chapter 32. I'm going to just hit a couple of three verses here. Verse 6 of the Song of Moses: "Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee?" This word in the Hebrew is "qanah" and it means to procure or own. "Hath he not made thee, and established thee?" And he made you the way he wanted you. He doesn't want anybody messing with that.
Skip with me to verse 32: "For their vine is the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter" — he's talking about the Kenites, Jonadab. Verse 33: "Their wine is the poison of dragons" — that old dragon, Satan, if you would — "and the cruel venom of asps." Verse 34: "Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?" Do you think I'm not going to do it? Verse 35: "To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste." They rush into it. They're pulling it down upon themselves.
Verse 36: "For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up or left." Verse 37: "And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted" — you know, you got some people get to heaven and St. Peter answers and one says — I probably shouldn't do this. My better judgment is saying, "Whoa!" But my Irish is saying, "Do it. Go for it. I just flew a 757 into a building and I've got 60 virgins waiting for me up here." And St. Peter says, "Say what?" Said, "Who are you?" He said, "I'm St. Peter." He said, "Well, I'm looking for Allah." "Well, I think you came to the wrong place." Well, anyway, whatever. Okay, don't play around with God. And I shouldn't have done that. That's really not fair. But you know how it is — just take that one out of my pay. I shouldn't have done it.
Verse 37: "And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted?" You want to be careful who you trust in. It'd really be disappointing to do something that you thought you was going to have eternal rewards for and you found out, uh-oh. Verse 38: "Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection." Be careful what you lean on, friend. God will help you. I mean, he will stick by you, but you go by his word. Don't go by this man's word or any other man. You check God's word out. He's the best father you could ever have and he will stay with you through thick and thin and you'll have the victory.
Verse 39: "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand." He's it, my friends. Be careful when you start going against nature. A study in what brings God down. And I tell you, when you start messing around with cloning — cloning human beings — this little war we're messed in now won't bring him down. Oh, he will assist us. But I guarantee you the other will. I really believe that with all my heart. We may have just seen the shutter open up for the scenes of something very important and very interesting. So I felt — I've received many, many questions. I've refused to answer this on television because I wanted to do it today. My answer to cloning. And as I said, I'm not going to make a comment now on stem cell research. Why? If you're ignorant about something, don't try to be an expert. What is it they say an expert is? It's a drip under pressure or something like that. So, be careful. But I feel very uneasy about it and I am researching it. So I feel it's probably one of the greatest signs. Just as we have seen God send us a sign early this year — five months, May through September, the time of the locust — we've seen the war planet, and in the month that it ends we see war. I think Father's talking to some people and I think it's time we listen. It's amazing that on the Day of Atonement, September the 10th — this would fall the next day. Hey, that wasn't the reason they planned it for that time. They planned it for the 11th because do you know what was supposed to happen on the 12th? His good buddy that they had in jail across the street was supposed to be across the street in court the next day to receive his sentence for bombing the embassy, I think it was, and I'm sure it was. And probably what we should have done — it was cancelled and that really bothers me that the hearing was cancelled because I think what they should have done was got an old rope, not a new one, an old rope, and went over on one of those twisted beams across the street and hung that sucker by the neck until dead. Because I do believe that's why he bombed the trade center. They were getting mighty close to one of his good buddies. And poor old good buddy, he's brought it on himself. And I think we'll be able to give it to him. I think you're living in a perilous time. I think there are many signs coming and I think you need to be observant. Our Father's good to us.
