1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,320
today and receive the power we need to live healthy.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,399
Speaker 2: Vibrant lives.

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,879
Speaker 1: Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,

10
00:00:32,039 --> 00:00:33,119
Elle David Harris.

11
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, Good morning, it is Thursday. It's

12
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:40,719
April seventeen, twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is El

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,520
David Harris. I am your host, and this is your

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,759
lesson study series how to study Bible Prophecy, and our

17
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:59,960
caption for today is the Harlot is Judged. That sounds harsh,

18
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,680
but it's not. The Harlot is Judged. We'll get into

19
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:06,400
that in just a moment, but first I'd like to

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,359

30
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,400
that we continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,319
ahead and pray and then we will get underway. Father,

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,799
we thank you for giving us this new day and

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,359
for the opportunity to continue in your word. And I'm

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,879
asking you, Lord to please make us faithful to you,

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,280
make us holy, make us faithful in Jesus' name. I pray,

36
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:08,400
Amen and Amen again. I think it was yesterday that

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,039
I said to you that the person who has the

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,759
most influence over my life is my wife, Simone. We're

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,159
married almost twenty four years, thank God, and these are

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,680
great years, thank God. But sometimes there are people who

41
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:28,520
are married who don't take their connection with their spouses

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,360
very seriously, or maybe get lackadaisical about the relationship and

43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,960
then unfortunately commit adultery. Right, I don't have the time

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
to really drill that. But that is the reality. That

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,639
is the reality. And in that case, that degrades the relationship,

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,639
that impacts the people who were observing the relationship, and

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,240
it also impacts our children, our offspring are negatively impacted

48
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,520
when we God forbid if we in a in a

49
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:07,039
marital relationship commit adultery. Okay. And so in this Bible

50
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:11,039
passage in Revelation chapter nineteen, we see something very interesting,

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,080
and the lesson writer poses it this way. Two things

52
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,960
are celebrated simultaneously. The end of the Harlot. Wait a minute,

53
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,680
That is the bride who turned away from God, the

54
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:27,639
people of God who decided that they wanted to replace

55
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:32,120
the relationship that God intended for us and with something

56
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,120
that is completely opposite of him and blasphem us, and

57
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,560
to just transform this relationship into something God never intended,

58
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,080
that harlot, that harlot, and then the marriage of Christ

59
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,520
to his bride. We're talking about the faithful people of God.

60
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,599
How is it possible that both events are actually demonstrations

61
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,240
of God's righteousness and the loving character of God God

62
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,280
both in at the same time. Now, that's a good question.

63
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,240
We're going now to the Bible Book of Revelation, chapter nineteen.

64
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,919
And I'm going to allow my audio bible. My favorite

65
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,759
one faith comes by hearing is the ministry. They have

66
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:19,680
the best audio bibles in my mind to read this

67
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,040
aloud to us Revelation chapter nineteen, and I will read,

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,399
and it will read. Pardon me. Beginning at verse.

69
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:32,879
Speaker 3: One, Revelation nineteen. And after these things, I heard a

70
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:40,600
great voice of much people in heaven, saying salvation and

71
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Glorian honor and horror to the Lord our God.

72
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:51,079
Speaker 4: For true and righteous are his judgments. For he hath.

73
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:54,639
Speaker 3: Judged the great horror which did corrupt the earth with

74
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,680
her phonication, and hath a bench the blood of his

75
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,319
servants at her hand. And again they said, a.

76
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: Man loui and her small drows up forever and ever.

77
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts

78
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:22,439
fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne, saying, a.

79
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,639
Speaker 4: Man a loui'ah.

80
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:31,199
Speaker 5: And the voice came out of the throne saying.

81
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that

82
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,480
fear him, both small and great.

83
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,199
Speaker 5: And I heard, as it were the voice of a

84
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,600
great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and

85
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,759
as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying.

86
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: I Louia. For the Lord God omnipotent reigna. Let us

87
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,240
be glad and rejoice and give honor to him. For

88
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,439
the marriage of the Lamb is come. And his wife

89
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,600
hath made herself ready, and to her was granted that

90
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:11,560
she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white.

91
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: For the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And

92
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:18,639
he saith, unto me.

93
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: Right, blessed are they which are called unto the marriage

94
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:29,319
supper of the Lamb. And he saith, oh my, oh my.

95
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,160
Now we are ushered into the presence of God. We're

96
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:39,279
ushered into a worship scene in Revelation chapter nineteen in Heaven,

97
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:43,000
and I'm thankful because it shows us how much God

98
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:49,560
values right relationship with him. You see, anything that gets

99
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,480
in the way of right relationship with God has to

100
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,160
be destroyed. Can I just say that again? It sounds

101
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,639
it sounds harsh to people who are not able to

102
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,560
hear well. Anything that gets in the way of right

103
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:08,439
relationship with God needs to be destroyed. Yes, And so

104
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:12,879
the marriage that God intended for his people after the judgment,

105
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,319
we're saying, now God's people. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve both sinned.

106
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,680
Eve fell into sin. She was deceived. Adam jumped into sin.

107
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,879
He knew exactly what he was doing in a special way, unfortunately,

108
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,439
but he jumped into sin. Both of them were naked, ashamed.

109
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:33,920
They naked ashamed, and they covered themselves with fig leaf

110
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:40,600
of righteousness. That's human human self righteousness. And that is

111
00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:46,160
where this problem began. When humans begin to cover our

112
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:50,199
sins rather than to confess our sins, knowing that God

113
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,879
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and

114
00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:55,959
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, then we are now

115
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,920
separating ourselves from holiness, separating ourselves from the tree of life.

116
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:05,600
We are embracing harl try. Of course, the church, the

117
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:12,079
church in modern era, has demonstrated, unfortunately, the false church,

118
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:15,560
that they don't want to be in right relationship with God.

119
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,000
They would rather replace God, They would rather take Jesus

120
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:22,120
off of his throne. They would rather seek to change

121
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:25,240
times in his holy Law, which he, by the way,

122
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:27,800
is written in our hearts and in our minds. And

123
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:31,560
so that has to be destroyed, that paradigm has to

124
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,759
be destroyed, so that the genuine, eternal pulse of love

125
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:43,600
can reverberate through the universe, throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity.

126
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000
And so now we can see the dual demonstration of

127
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:52,480
God's character. First justice, that is righteousness. According to Psalms

128
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,519
chapter ninety seven and verse two, we see righteousness and

129
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,879
judgment are the habitation of his throne. And so he

130
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,960
has to eliminate sin. He has to put evil at

131
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,120
its end. He has to serve justice and truth must

132
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,159
be vindicated. And of course we see love. We see

133
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:17,639
love in First John chapter four and verse eight. Very simply,

134
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:22,159
God is love, and so this shows perfect union with

135
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:30,120
God's people, perfect relationship, pure relationship, eternal fellowship and complete restoration.

136
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,240
And finally, both events reveal God's holiness. They reveal love

137
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,519
in triumph, truth's victory, and the removal of evil for

138
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:45,000
ultimate redemption. I'm thankful that God's character.

139
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,159
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening to friends. Always remember we

140
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:51,320
cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that

141
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,320
comes from the mouth of God. This has been your

142
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:58,000
daily portion with el David Harris, make it a great day.

143
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,279
Speaker 3: Yeah,
