This is Chad Harrison, and you're listening to Hope Applying God's word to your daily life.

Hi, this is Chad Harrison, and I am the teaching pastor of Lake Community Church and have been serving as a pastor for 25 years.

I'm also a practicing attorney. This podcast is designed to help you study God's word and find God's will for your life.

I pray in the name of Jesus right now that God would open up.

His word to you and allow you.

To see him and to know him and to know his will, that you might glorify him and that you might walk in faith and power each and every day, especially today,

in Jesus name.

Why would they do something like that? Well, we need to read and find out.

It says,

and I saw three unclean spirits,

like frogs.

Okay?

Now, this is some kind of demon, some kind of fallen angel, some kind of something that is a spiritual being.

And they're like frogs,

and they come out of the mouth of the dragon,

out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. So there's three of them, and. And they come from Satan,

the false prophet, and the beast, what we call the unholy trinity.

Are y' all remembering this?

All right, I'm done. I'm. I'm not preaching to you today. I'm trying to teach you some stuff.

Pastor Phillip said you got to preaching last week, and I did. I moved into it. It's okay.

All right.

These frogs come out of their mouth, which is a picture of the understanding and ideas that they're putting forth. Notice that they're unclean spirits,

so that would tend to indicate to us that they are demons.

Okay,

you go. What's the difference between a demon and a fallen angel?

Well, demons are disembodied humans that were the product of a relationship between fallen angels and man demons during the time of the flood.

Okay. All right.

Now, by the way,

I was asked this question. I think it was my wife that asked this question. She asked some good questions. Sometimes she asked a lot of good questions. Sometimes she just thinks, I don't know what I'm talking about, so no need to ask.

And so she asked a question.

The Bible says that there were nephilim there at that time and times after.

Okay.

And Kathleen asked, well,

why did God allow them to continue to be nephilim? And what was the difference between then and now? The difference between then and now is then it was part of Satan's effort to destroy the bloodlines of humanity.

Okay. And so what he's trying to do is he's trying to cause there to be everybody to have a father or, or a grandfather or a great grandfather who is a fallen angel,

okay?

So that they would be spiritually tainted, the bloodlines of humanity be spiritually tainted, okay? Why would he do that?

Why would Satan want to do that?

Well, if the bloodlines of humanity is destroyed,

then Jesus couldn't come,

okay? Jesus couldn't come from humanity,

all right? And so when it says of Noah, and I'm teaching y' all something that many of y' all have heard me say before, but I'm gonna say it again.

It says that Noah was perfect in his generation,

okay? And the word perfect means holy or complete.

Okay?

Now the question is, was Noah perfect in his generation?

It's kind of like when Abraham saw the burning bush, right? No, he did not see the burning bush. That's most. I.

I always get them mixed up sometimes. All right, when Noah, was Noah perfect in his generation, what the meaning. Was he sinless in his generation?

No. All right, well, so that's a bad translation, right?

That's a bad. That's a bad understanding, all right?

Huh?

Well,

there's nobody since Adam who has been sinless in their generation,

right? But even. Even that's marred by sin because death entered through Adam. And so from the time of Adam, this is Romans chapter one,

and Rome and other parts of Romans,

it said. And in Hebrews also,

okay? Death entered through Adam, which means his genetics were marred too,

okay? And so every human being since Adam has had the curse of death in them,

all right? Which means they cannot be anything but by definition,

sinful.

Okay? All right?

Now if I take that word generation and I translate it as. It very well can be and can be translated easily that way because it is in other parts of the Bible.

The Bible says if I translate it, he was perfect in his genealogy.

That means he's a pure blood human being,

okay? That he didn't have a grandfather or father as a fallen angel. And the way I know that, that's what that means is, is God gives me a really big sign of that.

Y' all know what it is?

Well, right before it says he was perfect in his genealogy, and it gives us a genealogy, right?

It gives us Noah's genealogy, and it gives us Noah's genealogy,

right?

And then you get all the way to Noah. And so Noah is what?

He's perfect in his genealogy. He's perfect in his genealogy, all right?

And so what did God do with all those who were imperfect in their Genealogy.

He wiped them from the earth. He killed them in the flood.

Okay? And if you were the product of an angelic being and a woman,

because remember, he said that the seed of woman would crush Satan's head.

Okay? Notice he didn't say the seed of man. What did he say?

The seed of woman.

So what did Satan do? He sent fallen angels to corrupt the seed of woman.

Okay?

And when he did that.

All right, this is not like History Channel ancient aliens, okay? This is bright Bible. This is straight Bible teaching. And let me tell you something. I told you before, I told you Sunday morning.

The Bible says that we have the ability to hear him because the Holy Spirit has placed in us ears to hear.

What does that mean? He's made us spiritually alive. He's given us a new spirit, and we have the ability to see and to hear God's voice and see what he's doing.

All right?

But his voice is the word of God.

Follow me.

General revelation in his creation. We see that in Romans, chapter one. That's very important for this.

He says what might be known about him. His divine qualities, his eternal nature is clearly seen in that which he created. I think it's 1, chapter 4, 1, 1, 14.

Okay.

All right,

so we have the general revelation, God in his creation.

We have the specific revelation of God in his Son.

Okay? And his Son is the Word made flesh.

All right? But the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I'm pouring this into your head because when you begin to think these this way,

it seems in your mind things start coming together.

You remember, Diane, when I first came here and I told you that if you'll just start putting this, putting these together, it would make sense what I was trying to tell you.

And it does, doesn't it? Yeah, it does.

And so people are all worried about different theology. And I'm just giving you Bible.

And so when we get to Genesis chapter five and chapter six and the flood and all that, I want you to hear me.

There was a flood,

okay?

Now y' all gotta get this.

There's some things that are written in the histories of almost all the cultures of the world.

Not many things,

but there's a few things.

There's one thing that is found in every major civilizational culture in their writings or in their pictures or in their paintings. Do y' all know what that one thing is?

A flood.

It wasn't just a flood in the Middle east because the Incas talk about a flood,

the Aztecs talk about a flood,

okay? The Pygmies talk about a flood.

All of them. All of them talk about a flood. By the way, I just saw a news article that explained that there are great water reserves in the mantle of the Earth.

And they figured it out.

And because of the pressure and because of the heat, the water has literally adhered to the rock.

Okay? To the rock deep down in the Earth,

which means. And by the way, a water supply greater than all the oceans of the Earth.

Interesting.

That's a lot of water.

But by the way, most of that water was underneath the Earth because the Bible says the great springs of the earth went up and destroyed the firmament above the Earth.

I want you to hear me. I believe in a firmament.

Okay?

All right.

And the cool thing I think about it is that now that we have social media and we don't have people telling us what to think,

even some of the.

Well,

some of the wildest people in the world beginning to see things like Joe Rogan are beginning to be brought information,

and the information becomes so obvious to them that they begin to go,

oh,

that can't be. I was watching something that had nothing to do with Jesus, had nothing to do with the Bible, had nothing to do with anything. And some guy said that Trump was the most famous man in human history.

I want you to hear me. I want you to hear me.

You know, he was using a little bit of hyperbole.

Now,

of the other three guys that were on the podcast, none of them are Christians,

all right?

And they spent 10 minutes wearing him out about saying Trump was the greatest, was the most famous person in human history. Now, don't you listen to me?

The reason they were wearing him out is because all the other three said they ain't nobody even close to Jesus. That's right. Ain't nobody even close to Jesus. We don't buy.

We ain't talking about Christians.

We just talking about regular folks.

They were in the podcast. I'm talking about 10 minutes of making fun of him for saying that. Now, it's one of those shows, I'm sure that they, you know, spend two hours making fun of each other.

But.

But we're getting to the place where information and understanding and many of the lies that have been propagated to us are slowly dying,

such as that human beings are the result of some mindless process that we call evolution.

And understanding that they're not just one type of evolution, there's six. And in order for humans to exist, all six have to exist, and five of them are. Are absolutely impossible.

Okay?

Such Such that even in pagan molecular biologist conventions they're coming together and saying our understandings of Darwinism fail.

And they don't fail because we're wrong. They fail because Darwin told us what would make us make them wrong.

And we have proven that. The things Darwin said would prove that he was wrong are wrong.

They're, they're, they, they. It's not right.

All right,

so,

so where was I?

No, no.

So the flood,

the flood brought about demons,

disembodied humanoids that are 100% physically evil, 100% spiritually evil, 100% soulishly evil. But their bodies died.

And in the Old Testament they're called unclean spirits.

Notice what they call them here.

Go out lies being set up for all these things to take place. And we've seen it right up until, up until the last hundred years.

No one could have been seen by everybody on the earth.

Now everybody in the last 10 years have a phone where you can actually see somebody on the other side of the earth and all humanity can watch.

The Bible says that when the two prophets stand outside of Jerusalem. Okay, I know this was a couple of years ago when I went over this,

or at least a year ago. The Bible says that the whole earth watches them.

Well, that couldn't happen.

That couldn't happen 50, 60, 70 years and fire comes out of their mouth and kills people all over the earth. They're going to be showing it. Even CNN is going to be showing it now.

They're probably going to be lying about it, but they're going to be showing it.

Okay,

that we know.

We know that these things,

that God is bringing these things about.

We know that there are lies that are being told to us over and over and over and over again.

And as those lies slowly lose their grip on us, they try to sell us another lie that's even bigger than the one they sold us before.

We know that.

We also know that when we read the Word of God that, that the spirit of God confirms in our hearts and our minds that the word of God is true.

You know that.

And what's so, what's so what's so disconcerting to those who are trying to sell you lies, I want you to hear me, is that they cannot sell your lies because the sheep hear the shepherd's voice and they know him.

Okay?

And I think it's neat how and that God leads us and he's been doing it for a long time.

We're in books in the Bible.

I didn't plan this.

If it had been up to me so that I could save face,

I would have finished John by two years. Okay? I'm just letting y' all know. I would have for pride's sake. I would have finished John in two years. It's gonna take four, okay?

But I would have done it for pride's sake in two years.

But God slowed us up and he got us to this point where in the mornings, we're studying Joshua, which is promised land stuff.

Here in the book of the Revelation, we're studying God's the culmination of that stuff,

John Jesus explaining how it works,

how he did it, how he's doing it,

okay? And they all come together. And by the way, that was going on back when we were studying, when we first started. Started studying the book of Psalms,

he was putting them to get. Putting these things together. He's allowing you to take Psalms,

Joshua and John 3.

Three ends of the Bible. Am I right? And time together. You can see them coming together.

Why? Because the sheep hear his voice and they know.

As you go. Today I pray that the Lord will.

Bless you and keep you you. That he'll make his face to shine upon you, and that he will give you hope and peace today in Jesus name.
