Introduction

Jeremiah run into a rebel prophet. Jeremiah wasn’t playing politics. He wasn’t political. He didn’t play politics with the King either. He was different.

But Hananiah, he was playing politics. He knew exactly what the people wanted to hear. He knew exactly what the King wanted to hear. They always wanted to hear something real good, and he had it for them.

Here comes Jeremiah, and he told the fellow, but that’s not according to what the Lord said. You’ve misled the people. You’ve led them into rebellion. You’ve led them against everything that I have said. He said God’s going to wipe you from the face of the earth. You’re not even going to live this year out. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month (Jeremiah 28: 2 – 3, 10 – 17).

And the preachers preach today just exactly, political, what the people want to hear.

But towards the end of the age, as the Bible speaks the truth, in the great falling away, it’ll be what the people want to hear. God’s people will have the victory, and the Lord’s people will have a praise, but they’ll have something the others haven’t got, and that is the pure word of God, and all of the word of God.

“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”Jeremiah 1: 4 – 5

Did God talk to Jeremiah before he came? There is proof that He did, but Jeremiah may not have remembered it!” … The evidence, Jer. 1: 5, “The Lord God said, before I formed thee in the belly, ‘I knew thee!’

After you’re dead, God raise you back again, and talks to you, then He can talk to you before you ever come here, it’s no harder.

If the Lord, and He can, and He will, and He certainly is going to do it, after the resurrection, and in this translation, after a man is dead, raise him back again, and then talk to him at the throne, and talk to him at the white throne, He can surely talk to a man before he’s borned.

Remember we have a spiritual personality that comes with our body; and that spiritual personality will go back to God, and we will have a gloried body!”

The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God!

“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”John 3: 15

It means we were with Him from eternity, where there is no beginning, and we will be with Him for eternity, where there is no end.

“Behold saith the Lord do ye not know this Scripture? Ye were with Me when the Morning Stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” (Job 38:6,7) Our flesh body came upon earth by birth uniting with His spirit which was always with Him! And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!!

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God”Romans 8: 16

We are going to sit with the Lord in His throne for eternity (Revelation 3: 21).

We are going to be with the Lord in the Holy City, new Jerusalem, that comes from Him, where there is no Temple, for the eternal God Himself will be the Temple in our midst, and we will worship Him (Revelation 21: 2 – 3, 10 – 11, 22 – 23).

Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us of your eternal life, of your eternal Spirit. You talked to us before we came upon this earth, and you will talk to us hereafter, for your eternal Spirit in us is like unto you. Thank you for your eternal plan for each of your children. Lord, you will soon come and change our bodies, and so shall we ever be with you.

You will be blessed.

Summary of the Sermon

We listened to a sermon titled “Physical and Spiritual Signs (Prophecy)”, CD # 1125, preached by Brother Neal Frisby.

In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:

Jesus said be as perfect as God, as your heavenly Father. He knew that’s easier said than done. And He knew also it was a challenge. And He knew that they’ll never be as God, not like that. You see, to be perfect as God, we’re to strive unto perfection. But we’ll be perfect when we are glorified.

To be perfect as God, God never doubts. The Lord never has unbelief. The Lord never makes a mistake. He never tells a lie. He always tell the truth. And He’s never sick. The living God, sometimes in His heart, sick over the people. No one is as perfect as God as long as you’re in this human flesh. God never had an improper thought.

As I notice in the Bible, there’s not one prophet as perfect as God was perfect. There was only one that was as perfect as God, and that was Jesus, because He was eternal.

But you’re to strive to perfection as best as you can. Sometimes, Satan will throw a doubt. Let it bounce off, don’t ever keep it in your heart; might throw unbelief at you, let it bounce off.

So, you’re in a battle all time in the flesh. Satan is going to come at you in every way that he can.

Jeremiah the prophet, now the Lord said about Jeremiah, He said I foreknew you before yous even conceived. I knew all about you. Just like God said I talked to you before you ever came here. He said I made you a prophet over all the nations, but they’ll never understand that.

Most of them will not even listen to Jeremiah. And He said I knew you, He said, before you ever came, Jeremiah. And Jeremiah must’ve thought about, I can’t remember, though.

After you’re dead, God raise you back again, and talks to you, then He can talk to you before you ever come here, it’s no harder. It was as if that the Lord, we are all little seeds that God sends, one way or the other, as lights coming from Him, in the very beginning. He made the first seeds, and it came from Him. It’s as if God had programmed Jeremiah to go and do these things that God had sent him to do, and added in between. He can do it through the Holy Spirit right in the womb. He can do it anywhere.

The Bible said when the morning stars sang to God, and shouted for victory. John was looking at the Throne, and everybody was there shouting the victory, done been over with, he’d seen a vision.

Jeremiah run into a rebel prophet. Jeremiah wasn’t playing politics. He wasn’t political. He didn’t play politics with the King either. He was different.

But Hananiah, he was playing politics. He knew exactly what the people wanted to hear. He knew exactly what the King wanted to hear. They always wanted to hear something real good, and he had it for them. He was political and he was telling them all these things.

And he said, Thus saith the Lord. I can talk just like Jeremiah, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, he said, the king of Babylon, his yoke will be broken. He said in two full years, he said the vessels will be back in the house of God, and all these things will be good. And he said God’s got to do away with him, and he said that’s the way it’s going to be.

Jeremiah 28: 10. Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet’s neck. And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, even so will I brake the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and from the neck of all nations, within the space of two full years. I notice he wanted to give two full years, stay around there, and be treated like a king, and then run.

Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah.

Then the Lord come to Jeremiah and said, Go tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, here’s the real one, said, thou has broken the yoke of wood, but thou shall make for them a yoke of iron. For thus saith the Lord God, the host of the God of Israel, I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and I have given him even the beast of the field unto his control.

And so, this prophet broke the yoke off Jeremiah, the wooden yoke, and said let him go free, prophesied in two full years, and then the Lord said just the opposite.

Here comes Jeremiah, and he told the fellow, but that’s not according to what the Lord said. You’ve misled the people. You’ve led them into rebellion. You’ve led them against everything that I have said. He said God’s going to wipe you from the face of the earth. You’re not even going to live this year out.

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Here’s what it is today: Preachers want to preach what people want to hear. There’ll be no Armageddon. We’re going to have peace. Preachers will preach today, say, well, they’re going to finally have peace. We are all going to get together. Sure, they’re going to have peace just for a little while, and while they are yet speaking peace, peace, peace, sudden destruction will come upon them. They’ll have just a short peace. They want to preach always going to have good times. They’ll have some under the antichrist, prosperity, but it turns into one of the greatest depression at the end of that, the world’s ever seen.

And the preachers preach today just exactly, political, what the people want to hear. See, they’ll have shouting the victory, and even involve in that, all of that, but it’s what the people want to hear.

But Jeremiah wasn’t playing politics. He was preaching right now. He knew what the truth was. It didn’t make any difference what the other prophet said. Nothing could change him. He would preach exactly what was going to take place. He preached exactly what’s going to happen. He didn’t care what they said or what they did. He knew the Lord was going to bring exactly as He told him. He’s going to do it.

So, we are living in an hour and a day that we’re living in, no matter what the preachers say, no matter what the people say.

Now, I believe we do have, in different parts of the country, maybe it’s rare, but real ministers of the Lord, that’s doing the best they can for the Lord. But towards the end of the age, as the Bible speaks the truth, in the great falling away, it’ll be what the people want to hear, mixed and mingled up with some of the gifts of God, and the anointing of God, and the great shout Hallelujah, but it will not be God.

God’s people will have a shout too. God’s people will have the victory, and the Lord’s people will have a praise, but they’ll have something the others haven’t got, and that is the pure word of God, and all of the word of God, and the signs and wonders they cannot go up against them. So powerful, a signs, and wonders, from the Lord. Great signs upon the earth that God gives.

Stay right with the message, and watch what’s happening, and you’ll have one of the greatest Hallelujah times in your life. The greatest happy, and the greatest joy, of this world’s ever seen will be with that elect.

And it’ll be in a time and in an hour that we need it the most, like Elijah the prophet without, in the wilderness. He couldn’t go any further at that time it seemed like. God appeared, what a difference, supercharged by His power. God’s coming to His people in a powerful way.

At the end of the age, it will get so powerful, and right after that translation, it’s going to be such a powerful thing that those that’re asleep jump up, and the Bible said they didn’t get it. It was too late, and the next few verses said, and He shut the door, same as the ark, the door was shut.

What the Lord is bringing out in this, it don’t matter what people are saying or doing, listen to the word of the Lord. It’s going to come just exactly as the Lord said it’s going to come.

And He’s trying to bring out, no matter how great a big a sign that He puts up before the people, only those that know the word of God is going to go with Him.

Jeremiah, he was not playing politics. He was telling them the real word of God. But on the other hand, Hananiah, he was playing politics with the King. He was saying what they wanted to hear.

We’re at the end of the age, and all of this that’ll repeat, and the people, as the hearts harden and harrow, be like Pharaoh. God will have His group that’ll listen to somebody that’s crying out for midnight cry, getting the people ready, telling the people about the Lord, preparing their hearts about the Lord, telling them to expect the Lord, and at the end of the age, it’ll be the same way. There’ll be the hardness of heart, except the true elect, and those that are going to go away with the Lord.

So, we find out today, hold onto the word of the Lord with all of your heart. We’re living in mercy, and how kind that mercy is. All nations, what’s happening in unbelief, wars, hatred, we see all of the earth, all of these things happening, what mercy God has upon the people of this earth.

Time is running out. We’re getting closer and closer to the coming of the Lord. The less they listen, the closer you are to me, saith the Lord. He will have a group that will listen. He will have people that will listen. But as for the major populations, don’t even look for anything in that direction, but He will have a group that will listen to Him.

In several times in the Bible, He said I foreknew.

Now, Daniel was before the throne, and it issued forth great fire. He saw two, but he saw the same One, because he knew what he was talking about. Here come One, like unto the Son of man, in those clouds, and there He was, thousand years in advance, and yet he saw Him. And yet, Jesus came several thousand years or 500 years from the time that Daniel was there, 483 to be exact, years later.

And we find out in the Bible, that they’ll see things thousands of years in advance. You say by vision, what God does it right, in reality too, He can do anyway He wants to.

And I made a statement, how much faith you’ve got. He said before you was conceived in thy mother’s womb, I knew you, Jeremiah. And I told you, I said, how much you want to believe God for?

If the Lord, and He can, and He will, and He certainly is going to do it, after the resurrection, and in this translation, after a man is dead, raise him back again, and then talk to him at the throne, and talk to him at the white throne, He can surely talk to a man before he’s borned.

You say, how does He do that? He’s Almighty. See, them tiny seed, He can bring it back in another direction. He can program, do anything He wants, sends them back in that little seed, and be borned exactly the minute and second, that that little prophet was supposed to jump out and go.

He said there’s a fire shut up in my bones. I cannot forebear, I’ve got to tell them about the Lord. There’s energy, there is power. That is the energy of the Holy Spirit. Behold, saith the Lord, that the church can have that fire in their bones.

Now, we see, just before that translation, that energy comes in those bones, and that power, that light. In other words, of the Holy Spirit in there. It gets so great that we are changed, and translated.

Now, at the end of the age, God, strange and powerful signs, He’s going to give some wonderful signs we’ve never seen before. Some powerful signs that’ll line up with this word of God, and some of the most wonderful things we’ve ever seen, great, tremendous, signs to His elect.

And you know what, the world is not going to be able to see it. Don’t wonder why they can’t see it, saith the Lord, just wonder why you can.

Kind of like, of His own elect, whom He foreknew also. He knows everyone of His elect. He knows the beginning, from the beginning to the end.

But we do know this, we’re on a mission from the Lord, no matter how we got here, through the seed, we got here. God sends us here like lights upon this earth. We’ll go away too, but we’re under the direct power and sovereignty of the Almighty God, and He is eternal, and He is all power. Never sell Him short, my hands are not too short nor my arm.

I want to read one other thing that Jeremiah did. Did you know he wrote about the Messiah several times?

Jeremiah 23, verse 5 and verse 6. He’s been tell you about the One that talked with him, knew about him before he was conceived.

Now verse 5, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, I will raise unto David a righteous branch. Now, David, you see, had already come, already gone. Here, He’s talking about Him. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous branch. You know who that was? And a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. That was Jesus, He’s Christ.

In His days, Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely; that’s at the end. And this is the name whereby He shall be called. This branch, out of David, this One, a King that shall come, this One, His name, whereby He shall be called The Lord, The Righteousness, that’s His name. He shall be called the Lord, the righteous One.

How many places in the Bible that we have, that the Lord gives it in here? You can’t believe that, about who Jesus is? Read the first chapter of St. John divine, and read it in there. And many more chapters in the Bible, but He called Him the Lord, the righteous One, the King that shall come out of David. And that’s when Judah and Israel shall dwell with Him. Jeremiah telling you who the Messiah was. He was none other, but the Almighty.

You have victory, saith the Lord, if you want victory. You have to want victory.

Scripture Reading

“Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon”Jeremiah 28: 2 – 3

“Than Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.”Jeremiah 28: 10 – 17

Jeremiah run into a rebel prophet. Jeremiah wasn’t playing politics. He wasn’t political. He didn’t play politics with the King either. He was different.

But Hananiah, he was playing politics. He knew exactly what the people wanted to hear. He knew exactly what the King wanted to hear. They always wanted to hear something real good, and he had it for them.

Here comes Jeremiah, and he told the fellow, but that’s not according to what the Lord said. You’ve misled the people. You’ve led them into rebellion. You’ve led them against everything that I have said. He said God’s going to wipe you from the face of the earth. You’re not even going to live this year out.

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

And the preachers preach today just exactly, political, what the people want to hear.

But towards the end of the age, as the Bible speaks the truth, in the great falling away, it’ll be what the people want to hear. God’s people will have the victory, and the Lord’s people will have a praise, but they’ll have something the others haven’t got, and that is the pure word of God, and all of the word of God.

“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.”Daniel 7: 9

“I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.”Daniel 7: 13

Now, Daniel was before the throne, and it issued forth great fire. He saw two, but he saw the same One, because he knew what he was talking about. Here come One, like unto the Son of man, in those clouds, and there He was, thousand years in advance, and yet he saw Him. And yet, Jesus came several thousand years or 500 years from the time that Daniel was there, 483 to be exact, years later.

God can be in two or more places at the same time.

“Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”Jeremiah 1: 4 – 5

I read from Special Writing # 030 – “GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE – HIS ETERNAL REALM”

“This correspondence should be interesting and very enlightening how God works in His eternal realm! The Scriptures say, He is the same yesterday, today and forever! He is the Lord, He changes not and inhabits eternity as well as all of His creations!” – “Now how much did God know about us before we came? Did he foreknow all of His people before birth? It is a deep subject, but the Bible reveals the truth, and we will take it line upon line!”

Did God talk to Jeremiah before he came? There is proof that He did, but Jeremiah may not have remembered it!” … The evidence, Jer. 1: 5, “The Lord God said, before I formed thee in the belly, ‘I knew thee!’ – He ordained him as a prophet to the nations! God formed Adam as a whole man; the next thing that followed was a tiny seed. And yet He foreknew what Adam would look like!” – “David said in Ps. 139: 15-16 that when the Lord created him He saw His substance before hand, wrote his different parts in a book, and then fashioned him when as yet he had not been born! – Verse 6 says, God’s knowledge is too high for him, he cannot attain unto it! … David was revealing something about all of us; God’s foreknowledge of each individual that will go and come upon the earth! … In other words, David said before he ever came into his mother’s womb God knew what he would look like!” (Read verses 13-14) – “The Lord also gave David the name of his son Solomon long before he was born. And that he would build the house of the Lord and bring rest, prosperity and peace to Israel!” (I Chr. 22: 9) – “Also did you ever think about this? If God can talk to a person after he is dead (at the White Throne and etc.) and He can! … then by His supreme power He can see or talk to someone before they are born! … like a prophet or King and give certain instructions that they do not know at the time, but may dawn upon them later after birth that, that was the way it was given! – Remember we have a spiritual personality that comes with our body; and that spiritual personality will go back to God, and we will have a gloried body!”

Here is a Scripture that many believe concerns God’s elect! Job 38: 4, “when God asked Job where was he at when He laid the foundations of the earth … And then revealed verse 7 to him! When the Morning Stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” – Isa. 46: 10, “reveals God declares the end from the beginning, the things that are not yet done, saying My counsel shall stand!” – “Then it is possible for God to give certain information to an individual before they are born through a seed. Because in continuance He even gives more information while men sleep!” Job 33: 14-17 – Verse 16, “Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instructions while they sleep! Verse 14, God speaketh it, yet man perceiveth it not at the time!”

I read from Scroll # 43:

THE ELECT SPIRITS WHICH WERE PART OF GOD, BEFORE THE ELECT BODY WAS CREATED – The real you (the spiritual part) was with God before it was appointed a body upon the earth through seed. There is a fleshly seed and a spiritual seed which was united! The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! That is why after death our body is changed into the inner immortal spirit, that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God! And He breathed it into each of us (Gen. 2: 7) “Behold saith the Lord do ye not know this Scripture? Ye were with Me when the Morning Stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” (Job 38:6,7) Our flesh body came upon earth by birth uniting with His spirit which was always with Him! And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!! Read (Isa. 1:9 – Eph. 1:4) (Satan’s seed is a group, also the Lord has created a place for them.)

Did God talk to Jeremiah before he came? There is proof that He did, but Jeremiah may not have remembered it!” … The evidence, Jer. 1: 5, “The Lord God said, before I formed thee in the belly, ‘I knew thee!’

After you’re dead, God raise you back again, and talks to you, then He can talk to you before you ever come here, it’s no harder.

If the Lord, and He can, and He will, and He certainly is going to do it, after the resurrection, and in this translation, after a man is dead, raise him back again, and then talk to him at the throne, and talk to him at the white throne, He can surely talk to a man before he’s borned.

Remember we have a spiritual personality that comes with our body; and that spiritual personality will go back to God, and we will have a gloried body!”

The real eternal spirit which God gives His saints had no beginning and has no end and is like unto God! that is why it is called eternal life, it always was and always will be with God!

“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”John 3: 15

It means we were with Him from eternity, where there is no beginning, and we will be with Him for eternity, where there is no end.

“Behold saith the Lord do ye not know this Scripture? Ye were with Me when the Morning Stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy!” (Job 38:6,7) Our flesh body came upon earth by birth uniting with His spirit which was always with Him! And when we repent (salvation) we keep this spirit in order to always live with Him!!

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God”Romans 8: 16

We are going to sit with the Lord in His throne for eternity. Revelation 3: 21: “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne”.

The Lord will show us the things that He has prepared for us. 1 Corinthians 2: 9: “But as it is written, EYE HATH NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NEITHER HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN, THE THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM.”

We are going to be with the Lord in the Holy City, new Jerusalem, that comes from Him, where there is no Temple, for the eternal God Himself will be the Temple in our midst, and we will worship Him.

“And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”Revelation 21: 2 – 3

“And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a Jasper stone, clear as crystal”Revelation 21: 10 – 11

“And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”Revelation 21: 22 – 23

Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us of your eternal life, of your eternal Spirit. You talked to us before we came upon this earth, and you will talk to us hereafter, for your eternal Spirit in us is like unto you. Thank you for your eternal plan for each of your children. Lord, you will soon come and change our bodies, and so shall we ever be with you.
