Sid Roth

MARILYN:  So stand up. Put your hand on top of your head. We’ll just pray for everything. Okay? Why not? And you’ll go out of this meeting and think, “Wow, I don’t have that anymore.” Amen? So let me pray for you, say: Father, in the name of Jesus, I send the word, into my body, that heals it, delivers it, from every destruction. Now Father I thank you, You’re not only my Healer, You are my Health. And as my days are, so shall my strength be. I thank You, I am a healer. I walk in that anointing. It came on me today in an unusual way. In Jesus’ name.” And everyone said, “Amen.”  Now look for the difference, look for your miracle, get focused. People who expect nothing in particular get nothing in particular. But when you get specific that’s when God does big things. Amen? Thank you, Sid.

SID:  Thank you, Marilyn. Did you enjoy her?

AUDIENCE:  (CLAPS AHD SHOUTS)

SID:  I’m going to pray a supernatural blessing over you. You know, well, I’m going to be interviewing a friend of mine on something called “The Father’s Blessing.” And one of my intercessors who has been with me for a long time gave me an idea and I can’t wait to do it. I’m going to have about a dozen of the most anointed friends I have pray a blessing from a father to you. And you’ll be able to listen to this on your CD player or on your tape player. –See a lot of people have never been blessed by their father. I can tell you it happened to me just before my father died. He was shocked. He didn’t understand the validity of it, but I understood the validity of it and it made a profound difference in my life. And I believe that when I pray for you right now, it’s going to make a profound difference in your life. Michael, would you come up with your shofar, please? We’ll seal it with a shofar blast, if that’s okay. It’s Rabbi Michael Zeitler. I’m glad you brought your little one [shofar] this time. (laughing)

[SID SAYS A BLESSING OVER THE AUDIENCE]

The Lord is blessing you when you come in. The Lord is blessing you when you go out. The Lord is blessing you in your family. The Lord is blessing you in your health. The Lord is blessing you in your finances. The Lord is gifting you from heaven right now. The Lord, He’s smiling upon you today and forever, He’s doing that right now. The Lord is surrounding you with His favor right now. The Lord is giving you His Shalom, His completeness in your spirit, in your soul and in your body right now. Receive His love right now, and let His love go right through every cell of your body and recognize that you are loved, you are appreciated. You belong to God. He is your Father. And He will never disappoint you. He will never let you down. He will never forget you, because you are created in His image for good works. In Yeshua’s name I pray. Amen.

MICHAEL:  (PLAYS SHOFAR BLAST)

Francis: The Lord told him he said, ‘Tell Francis, he needs to deal with the superimposed DNA that he got from the witchdoctors.’ Because when I was looking for healing I went to witchdoctors who cut me up and took my blood as part of the healing. He said– that is superimposed DNA. That’s why he’s having dreams of a DNA that does not belong to him, because you see– c’mon somebody– that day with Aldo and Rita in their house house I jumped the line the second time to deal with superimposed DNA. I have never had one of those dreams ever again! So we’ve added something here. I went, ‘Lord, I said, Lord, WOW!’ And that’s when He began to speak about superimposed DNA. Sometimes it comes through blood transfusions at the hospital– somebody’s blood– and all of a sudden you are getting things, superimposed DNA. And the enemy is too cunning, because all the enemy wants is any door, he will take it. It doesn’t matter how it came, the devil will take any door. You know he doesn’t play fair, okay? But I got delivered in South Africa. That was the final piece of this and we added and we modified our prayer so the new book that Sid Roth is going to be offering actually is the only book that has this new prayer in there adding the issue of superimposed DNA, so we’re going to deal with that. So here’s what I want you to do, very quickly. There are three names, I said three names, there are three names that I want you to remember. Number one is your father’s last name. Okay? The father’s what?

AUDIENCE:  [last name]

FRANCIS:  Because your father’s last name is going to help us just identify your father’s what? Lineage. ‘Cause remember genes– the generational curse comes from the mother’s side, and from the what? The father’s side. Does that make sense? Okay– in order for a generational curse to exist it has to be tied to a lineage. You can’t have a generational curse unless you can trace the lineage. Are you with me? Does that make sense? Okay? And so– when I lead you in the prayer of renunciation, for instance if your father’s last name is Jackson, in the prayer when we deal with your father’s bloodline, you’re going to say, ‘I denounce my allegiance to the Jackson lineage.’ Not Jackson, because you’re not denouncing your father at all, or his name, you’re simply denouncing the what? The lineage. So we’re using your father’s name only as an indicator to identify the lineage legally in the what? Spirit. Does that make sense? Okay? Are you catching what I am saying?

AUDIENCE:  Uh huh.

FRANCIS:  Then your mother’s maiden name identifies your mother’s what? Bloodline. Okay? And so if your mother’s last name was– Adams, then it’s the Adam what? Lineage.

AUDIENCE:  Lineage.

FRANCIS:  Lineage or bloodline…it doesn’t matter if you say [lineage or] bloodline, but you got to have that–but I prefer for you to use ‘lineage’ but your       bloodline is [fine too]. Okay? So you add that. Don’t just say, ‘I denounce allegiance to Adams.’ It doesn’t make sense– you’re not denouncing your mother. That’s not the point. The point is the Lord is going to deal with the what? The lineage. So don’t say [joking], Oh, Sid brought some weird guy telling me to denounce my family. No. I’m not weird. I’m not weird. I may be handsome, but I am not weird. Okay?

AUDIENCE:  [LAUGHS]

FRANCIS:  It’s– I just want to see freedom to come to you. And also I am doing this because I want to commission you to take this freedom to many and I don’t want you to cause trouble by not saying it the way I do it [chuckles]. You know but everybody’s doing it ’cause it’s getting results, the pastors are doing it and getting results. The third name, the third name we’re going to be dealing with is for the married women. Because when a woman gets married she also inherits her husband’s lineage. That’s why when a woman gets married her last name what? Changes to demonstrate she’s now inherited another line. Her husband’s line. The Lord said, ‘Deal with that line, too.’ Because in many cases that line we’ve seen  whenever women have done that marriages have   improved. Because the enemy now had no legal right to interfere with that marriage coming through the blood of the [husband]. C’mon somebody.

AUDIENCE:  [REACTS]

SID: Boy, I’ll tell you what. You just opened yourself, and feel the presence of God, the glory of God because in his presence all things are possible. You know, when I sit with guests that are in specific anointings, I pick up their anointing. I’m going to pray it won’t leave, but I just had a vision of a box of Band-aids, and someone has a band-aid on their body. And what is that you’ve covered up is being healed right now in Jesus’ name.

ANA: Wow.

SID: Ana, tell me briefly about knee-to-knee, eye-to-eye.

ANA: That was during that 30 days where I woke up and was in heaven. I just feel the anointing on this story right now, but I would wake up and I would see Jesus. We would meet kneecap to kneecap, we’d meet in the garden, and we’re kneecap-to-kneecap, eye-to-eye, and we would talk heart-to-heart. And one day I came to him with, like a heavy burden on me. We had just seen someone incredibly healed through our healing rooms, and at the same time, a friend of ours was really suffering from cancer, and so I was holding both of those experiences in my hands going, “God, where are you in both this” And then also, I was going through normal parenting struggles with my kids, and knee-to-knee, eye-to-eye, and I said, “Jesus,” and I was crying and I said, how did you handle it? How did you carry the weight of the world and handle this?

ANA: And he said, “Ana, lean into me. You lean into me.” He said, “This world will strip you. But you lean into me, worship me and keep your focus. And he said, “Ana, look at me. Lean in.” And ever since then, I’ve learned just as I go about day-to-day just to lean into him more. I want to, I just want to speak. I just feel like somebody, you’ve been going through something, you’re in this season where it’s incredibly hard, and there is a lot of discouragement on you right now. You’re going through something and you are not seeing the breakthrough. You’re not seeing the promise of God that you’ve been declaring and praying into. Right now, I want to pray for you, discouragement to be broken off of you right now, in Jesus’ name. Let hope arise. He is for you. He is not against you, and he’s that close. He’s right there. Although you can’t see them, you can’t feel him, he is right there beside you. Just lean into him.

SID: I like that phrase. Lean into him, and he’s more than enough. When we come back, Ana who sees in the invisible world, she’ll see demons, but she’ll also see angels, saw angels in a meeting bringing literal body parts to people. Be right back.

SID:  I just want to add one word I heard back there. He’s healing hearts, hearts, hearts.

KYNAN:  Amen, amen, amen. Somebody has been dealing with depression, you’ve been dealing with depression, thoughts of worthlessness. I want you to lay hands on your head– lay hands on your head those who fall into that category– And I want you to, we’re going to by faith– I want you to close your eyes and imagine that the hands of Jesus Christ are on you right now, and that He’s laying hands on you. And I want to tell you something. Jesus never prayed for anybody that didn’t get healed. There was no sickness big enough for Jesus. So I don’t want you to be thinking as me praying for you but I want you to think as the Master Himself, Jesus, Yeshua, praying for you now. And some of you are even being touched right now. The Holy Spirit is touching you right now. Father, I thank you in the name of Jesus Christ, that Lord, you 2,000 years ago paid a price, not only to do away our sin, but to do away with sickness. And God we are coming to You based on Your promise, because You are a covenant God. And we thank you now Lord that people are being healed, even now in the name of Jesus. People are being healed and delivered. People are being set free. Right now! –Thank you, Lord. I want you to say this after me. I want you to say

[KYNAN PRAYS AS AUDIENCE REPEATS AFTER HIM PHRASE BY PHRASE]

Lord Jesus; I recognize; that my body; is the temple of the Holy Ghost; and I’m not my own; I have been bought with a price; Lord; I decide; to glorify You; in my body; and in my spirit; which are the Lord’s; Father; forgive me; for doubting; forgive me for not trusting; I thank You Lord; that today; I have Your faith; And this faith; is perfect faith; it casts out all fear; it casts out all doubt; and Lord; today; I receive my healing; I receive my deliverance; and I have the victory; from this day forward; right now; in Jesus’ name; Amen.

SID:  Thank you so much. John, would you come here for a minute. Wondering if you could just give us a little bit of dessert, about 5 minutes’ worth of dessert with no calories!

AUDIENCE:  (LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING)

JOHN:  But He [God] said “if you’re willing and obedient you’ll eat the fat of the land.”–so it’s the good kind of fat, all right?

SID:  Okay, yeah, there’s good fat and bad fat, I understand that.

JOHN:  (laughing). Twelve years ago Cindy Jacobs prophesied to me and she said that God had given me an anointing for wealth and a war chest. And a war chest is where you store your wealth to wage war. And my good friend Chuck Pierce last year he prophesied to me, he said “the Lord has called you to unlock the wealth of the world.” Now I’m not the only one, but He has called me to unlock the wealth of the world. Let me ask, Judith, would you come over here for just a minute. I’m want to pray for wealth for you, is that okay?

AUDIENCE:  Yes!

JOHN:  But I’m not going to pray just for wealth I’m going to pray that you become very, very, very rich. You know the word of God says that Jesus was made poor so that we might be made rich. And as a doctor of theology I looked up that word “rich” and do you know what I found out it means? Rich!

AUDIENCE:  (LAUGHTER)

SID:  I did. Someone’s knee, you’re getting a new knee or the pain is leaving your knee right now. And I was telling Katie once the healing of God is manifest in a room you don’t even need a word of knowledge. All you need is knowledge Himself. Yeshua, Jesus. He is made unto you wisdom. He is your knowledge. I’ve heard this again. Arthritis in the fingers, it’s gone, in Jesus name.

KATIE:  Jesus. The healing power is here. So if you haven’t heard a word of knowledge for your particular affliction right now, I want you right now, we’re going to have Toni play one more song, if that’s okay with Sid, and I want you to just come before the Lord and say, ‘Lord, go inside me, inspect my soul, go in the midst of my heart, which is your soul and find the wounds that are connected to this affliction that I can’t get the breakthrough for.’ And that should be your focus. Just say, ‘Lord, go right at those wounds right now that are connected with this thing that I can’t seem to shake and fill them with your blood and your “dunamis” power.’ I just want everybody now, this is how you’re going to go home and get healing in for yourself, for your family members and everything else, you’re going to go right at that, right at those wounds that are causing that problem, with the blood and the “dunamis.” Amen? So while Toni sings again, let’s really do that, let’s really go after that. And you know and before we do that, I want to do one last thing here, as far as my part. I want to give you the anointing of “dunamis.” Because it says that Jesus gave His disciples power and authority to drive our demons and heal the sick. Right? Okay, that power is “dunamis.” So He gave them “dunamis” which enabled them to what? Drive out demons and heal the sick. So that meant that the disciples had the ability to heal people in their souls. And they were keeping themselves healed in their souls because they had “dunamis.” Amen? And as far as the driving out demons part, well when that wound goes, that’s the legal right for the spirit. The woman bowed over with the spirit of infirmity for 18 years, you know what gave that spirit   the legal right to literally bend her spine? It says that she had a spirit of infirmity, right? That word infirmity in the Greek means weakness and infirmity of the body and of the soul. So when you get rid of that wound that spirit has to go. That spirit has to go. And you’re not going to scream at it for 16 hours and have it not go anymore, you’re going to actually see it go. And you won’t even have to name it or anything else like that, it will just leave, amen? All right. So in the name of Jesus, when Jesus gave His disciples the anointing to drive out demons and heal the sick, He said to them, ‘Freely you have received, now freely give.’ Well I have freely received that anointing and I freely give it to you now. Jesus made everything impartable so that His people could be fully equipped. And I don’t need to touch all of you because the anointing is filling this room right now. So I am decreeing that it’s landing on every one of you in the name of Jesus, that you are receiving power and authority to drive out demons and to heal the sick. In Jesus name I release to you the anointing I am carrying of “dunamis.” In Jesus name become carriers of this resurrection power on a whole new level than you ever have before. I impart it to you, I impart it to you. And I command that you would take hold of it. Grab hold of it with your faith right now. Grab hold of it with your faith right now. I am releasing it to you. In Jesus name you need it and Jesus wants you to have it ’cause it’s what causes you to be prospered and brought into health even as your soul is prospered. Receive it now, receive it now, I release it you to. Receive it now, receive it now in the mighty name of Jesus. Everybody say:   I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. Give God a cheer, c’mon. Give him a praise. Give him a praise!

AUDIENCE:  [CLAPS AND PRAISES]

GUIILLERMO:  Hey, you’re too polite — you must be crazy for a moment. Do I have crazy people here today?

AUDIENCE:  Yeah!!! (CLAPPING)

GUILLERMO:  You’re too polite. I’m too polite. Yeah, I don’t care how God will do it. I don’t care. If I want to jump, I want to roll on the floor, I will do it. But you must say God — I’m willing to — (laughs) this is what I teach the people — Have you noticed in America why most of the preachers don’t demonstrate what they preach? Not here, I mean over here guys —

AUDIENCE:  (LAUGHTER)

GUILLERMO:  Okay, you know why? 3 reasons. Number 1: because there’s nothing to prove. It is easy to preach a message that you don’t have to prove. Number 2, the reason they can’t demonstrate it is because they don’t have revelation. You can have the best message, get all the dictionaries, and all the good things but if you don’t have the breath of the Spirit nothing will happen. No demonstration. And number 3, I like this one, they don’t want to lose, they don’t want to risk their reputation. Over here guys, can you help me?” You lost your reputation so you can go “amen.” They don’t want to risk their reputation. Okay, I’ll prove it you. (to congregation) Sit down. I’ll prove it to you? Can you move this? You want me to lose my reputation? (audience laughs) Is anybody sick in their body here? Okay, I want you to stand, I want you to stand, I want you to stand if you’re sick in your body. And what I will do is pray here. I can do it, but I’ve got my people here, they can do the same thing, okay, but I will demonstrate it to you for you to see it. But if you do the most of the preachers will not do it because they say “Well, I’m too big. You know, I can lose my — what if it doesn’t happen,” and many things are involved. But I am dead. So I don’t worry about it. I am dead. So if you dead you don’t worry. You worry about Jesus. You say “Jesus, you do it.” So what’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with you? Yeah, what happened? … No, just one word, and that’s it because — back problem. Okay, does anybody have problem here where you feel the pain right now? Okay, you got the pain? Okay, I want my team going over there please. What’s wrong with your back? Ear. What’s wrong with your ear? So you can’t hear anything? Okay, okay, anybody else in the ears? You have an ear —what’s wrong with you? Completely gone? Ringing? Ringing? Come over here, can you come up here? Can you come up here? Any ears, ears, come over here, come over here, come over here, come up, ears, come over here, hurry up here. Can you pray in the Holy Ghost because you need to respond? No, no, no, not like that (saying it gently, Guillermo then prays in tongues) In America they told you not to pray anymore. C’mon you are Pentecostals — I want you to stay here. Okay, come over here, get closer, ears right? Any of you have lost one of the ears completely, any of you, any of you, you? Which one? The right is gone? How long ago? 6 years ago — come over here my team — come over here please. Frank, you pray for him. Anybody else in the ear, that you lost your ear? I like the difficult cases first, the most difficult case — Okay, the rest of the people will be healed. But let me tell you this, can we bring — what about you? You lost it? How long ago? So it’s gone. I just want the people to hear because they say “Well, it was an emotional thing.” No, I want the people to be sure why we say it. But I need your support —

AUDIENCE:  Amen, hallelujah, YAY!

SID:  Now, now who says that?

TOM:  Well he could give you some of the names.

SID:  Okay— just comment on the statement he made.

CRIS:  I mean there have been various Catholic scholars who have seen the final pope in this role. One was a Jesuit way back then, Lacunza, Cardinal Manning is another one. O’Connor gave that homily in the 1980’s in New York where he predicted that the Roman church would go apostate and become the seat of the anti-Christ. Now one of the reasons why I think this final pope is the false prophet, is if you look in the Book of Revelation in chapter 13 it talks about 2 beasts. The first beast is the anti-Christ, the second beast is the false prophet. When it describes the false prophet the language is “he has horns like a lamb yet speaks like a dragon.” Now I think we all would recognize “like a lamb” would be trying to identify someone as, that has a Christian identity, at least an appearance like a lamb. The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. Horns in apocalyptic literature is a generally a symbol of power. So here we have a powerful Christian leader who speaks like a dragon. And I think we all know who the dragon is in the Book of Revelation. So to me that’s really identifying this false prophet as a pope, I think. I mean if you ask anyone in the world, you know from all cultures, who’s the most powerful Christian leader, you know worldwide I think your majority answer’s going to be the pope, you know even if they’re not Catholic. So I think that the Book of Revelation has, has pretty much given us a really strong hint that’s what we should expect.

SID:  Okay, we’re not going to speculate on the next pope  because we’re doing this before he’s announced. Next question.

QUESTIONER #6:  Well, before I got saved miraculously I was praying that God would please give me a sign and if I could be forgiven because I thought I had went over the 490  times, you know, and I was deceived to think “no way I could be forgiven.” And I saw a light like you’re talking about. It come in my room and it changed me, something happened. And anyways I’ve really been drastically just seeking God, seeking His word, reading, and whatnot. And over these past years I’ve seen some, met some Christians who practice, I mean Catholics who are practicing that, you know, religion, that they pray to Mary and go, you know, before a priest and confess their sins. And I would say to them according to the word, it says that we only have one high priest in the Book of Hebrews, and says there is only one mediator between God and man, and he is Christ Jesus. And, so if someone does, if they take their last breath and they never change from that and they continue to go through the rituals of praying to Mary or going into a church and confessing their sins before a priest, would that person enter into the kingdom of heaven?

SID:  Well that’s an easy question to answer. I’ll take that. Jesus said there’s no other name in which a man must be saved but the name of Jesus. And so therefore they could be in some heretical doctrine, but if they believe Jesus died, rose from the dead, and by His stripes they are healed and forgiven, then they go to heaven. Next question.

SID:  As far as I’m concerned, if you do not understand the Biblical position, God’s heart for the Jew in Israel in the Last Days, you will go into further and further heresy. It’s that critical. Now there’s something called “Replacement Theology.” And I’ve asked an attorney, a Jewish believer in the Messiah, someone that has spent many years in the land of Israel, Sandra Teplinsky, to explain, let’s just start with basics, Sandy. What is replacement theology?

SANDY:  Like its name implies replacement—

SID:  Excuse me, can you see that she is an attorney…” like its name implies—”

SANDY: (Laughing)

SID:  (Laughing)  I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist, okay?

SANDY:  I get it all the time.

SID: Oh, okay. (laughing)

SANDY:  Replacement Theology is the mistaken, in fact, extremely erroneous belief that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s heart and in God’s purposes and plans.

SID:  Well, how did something so Jewish, the first believers in Jesus were all Jews. How in the world did it evolve to that?

SANDY:  Well Jewish believers in the first century were doing their job very well. They spread the Gospel abroad and before long—

SID:  I read about them. In the Bible! They did well. I wish the Church would do as well today!

SANDY:  And before long Gentile believers vastly outnumbered Jewish believers simply because there were many, many more Gentiles in the world than there are Jews.

SID:  Sure.

SANDY:  And so as Gentile believers increasingly populated the church as God intended and as it was His heart and is His heart to do, slowly over time, although not that slowly, the traditional Jewish understanding of interpreting the scriptures, of worshipping the God of Israel became replaced by a more “user-friendly” pagan perspective that would draw in more non-Jews and of course those were the people to whom the non-Jewish Gentile believers were reaching out to. And so there was a desire to incorporate elements of the culture that were actually anti-God and anti-Biblical which over time became part of the institutionalized church.

SID:  You know a lot of Christians don’t understand this, but there actually was, as I understand, a distancing from anything of the Hebraic culture which then caused the understanding of the Bible to be askew.

SANDY:  Sadly, that was the case and intentionally so. Early Church Fathers intentionally attempted to distance themselves from anything Jewish, again partly because it was contrary to the common culture of the day, but also because this notion of what’s called “deicide” set in, which is the belief that the Jewish people were responsible for killing Christ.

SID:  You know a lot of you don’t understand this, but I understand it, because as a young Jew growing up before I knew the Messiah even, I had someone say to me I was a “Christ killer.” I bet you had that too.

SANDY:  Many times.

SID:  But it started way back then.

SANDY:  It started way back then which gives us a clue as to the importance and significance of the Jewish people and Israel in God’s plans, that the enemy would go to such extremes and such lengths in order to distort scriptural understanding by the Gentile world.

SID:  You know the Jewish historian Neander says by the turn of the first century there were approximately a million Jewish believers in Jesus and—they just, I guess as the church turned away from anything Jewish, Judaism turned from, away from anything Christian, and that’s what Paul was talking about, there was a middle wall of separation between the two.

Perry: Let me show you something else here. I’m going to give you the apocalyptic vision which John saw, I’m going to explain it to ya. Then I’m going to show you where it is found in the Old Testament. Here again, um, this is something in all, in all the years I heard the Book of Revelation preached I just thought it was something John saw that was brand new, nobody saw any of it before, blah, blah, blah. Then I found out, wait a minute. Here it is. This is a, a real key for you to understand. What John is doing in, is John is showing you a summary of what all the Old Testament prophets predicted about the time of the end. Okay? Now when you understand that, the Book starts making sense. In other words, all those judgments are not new. These Old Testament prophets saw them coming. So what he does is he says okay— you’ve been reading what Ezekiel saw, you’ve been reading what Zechariah saw, you’ve been reading what Daniel saw, you’ve been reading about all this Isaiah the prophets for years. What God’s going to do now is show you how all that fits together. You got it now? Now when you— when that little nugget hits your mind all of a sudden you say, “Oh my goodness, that’s it!” So in other words, all of these judgments are nothing new. They were already predicted. All he does is give you the order of how they’re going to happen. He’s given you an order. See the prophets would get a, a picture. Oh my goodness! The sun’s going to be dark, the moon’s going to turn to blood— this and the other thing, and oh my God, the earth’s going to shake out of its place. And this one over here would talk about I saw the rivers dry up. But they don’t know when it’s going to happen. So John says it’s going to happen in a 7 year period and let me give you the order of it. Whooo! That’s good! Oh, my Lord! All right. Let me give you, let me give you the vision and I’m going to show you where it’s found in the Old Testament. Okay? First of all in Revelation chapter 12 and 1 there is a woman who is clothed with the sun, moon and stars. That original revelation is Joseph’s dream in Genesis 37:9 through 10. You can read it, read the two and it’s very parallel. So how do we interpret that woman? Who is that woman? Well people make that woman the church. Well if she’s the church who is she travailing with that’s going to rule the world with a rod of iron? Some say it was Mary and that Mary was travailing with Jesus. Actually the picture is Israel, who gave birth to the Messiah because if you keep reading the woman gets persecuted. All right? And that’s Israel being persecuted in the Tribulation. So in other words you go back to Joseph’s dream. He plainly will tell you that woman represents Israel. And it’s very simple, because the Bible interprets itself. I don’t want to say it’s simple— it took me about 3 years to put all this together. So it’s not, it’s not, it’s not as simple maybe as I’m, I’m  making it now (laughing). It’s, it’s simple once you break the Code I guess you could say. In the Book of Revelation chapter 11, verse 2, 13 and 5, it’s 42 months. It’s a 42 month timeframe, and it even says one place in the Book of Revelation “time, times and dividing of time.” Time is a year, times is two years, dividing of time is half a year. That’s where you get 42 months, 3 and a half years.

PERRY:  Bless the Lord! We want to welcome you to this Mentoring Session. We’re going to be dealing today, I’m Perry Stone, we’re going to be dealing with a book that has been rejected by some in our culture today because of perhaps the difficulty of not understanding the symbolism of it, or perhaps because people think it’s a negative Book or perhaps because people think it’s already been fulfilled.  And that is the Book of Revelation. And the Book of Revelation, a little bit history about the Book. Was written by the Apostle John. And it’s real interesting because I want to go back and tell you a statement that Christ made. Christ made a statement in which He said: “There are some of you standing here which shall not taste death until you see the Son of man coming in the Kingdom.” Now some people believe that because Jesus made that statement that all of His prophecies about the time of the End had to happen by the destruction of the Temple in the year 70. But then if you take the statement that Jesus made and go to John 21 where He is there with His disciples. Remember that He gives a prediction to Peter that Peter would live to be an old man. And Peter says to John, he looks at John the Apostle, and says: “What about this man?” And Jesus makes this statement: He says, “What is it to you if he tarry or he’s still living when I come?” The next verse written by John says, “Then went this saying abroad among the disciples that that disciple should not die.” But Jesus did not say he would not die, he just said what is it to you if he tarry ‘til I come. Based on that verse there are people that feel like all of the prophecies had to be fulfilled in the time of John. So in other words this came up with the doctrine that we hear today called “preterism.” Where people take those two verses and they say well you know the Book of Revelation had to already been fulfilled because Jesus said “All of this will come on one generation” and Jesus said “This generation shall not pass until all these things are fulfilled.” Now if you don’t understand what Jesus is saying there you would think that the Book of Revelation was written before the destruction of the Temple or you would think that the Book of Revelation’s already been fulfilled. But notice what I am about to tell you. According to early church fathers and even scholars who know history, the Book of Revelation was written by John on the Isle of Patmos where he was a political prisoner around the year 95 A.D. After the Emperor who had him arrested died, John was allowed to be released from the Island. Now someone said “why do you think he had to write it in symbolism?” Let me give you one example why he had to write it in symbolism. Because if you read Revelation chapter 17 and 18, it talks about a “Mystery Babylon,” a city ruling over the kings of the earth that’s going to be destroyed. John, in fact in the time of Jesus, when the Jews were speaking against Rome they always called it Babylon. They coded it. And the reason they coded it is any statement by a Jew against Rome or the Roman Empire was instant persecution, jail and death time. So God allowed John to veil it as Babylon so that no one who would be a Roman who would look at that scroll would keep that scroll and burn it. I mean think about this for a moment.
