 Yeah, so our recording is in progress. Let's pray and we'll begin. I would like to request one of us to please lead in prayer. Anyone? Can I lead? Yeah, sure Charles, please. Let's pray. Father God, we are really thankful to you. The Father brought us and now we are here for another class. Yes, Lord. This is our second class for this course. When you pray that you will hear a person understand your secrets of the prophetic and the apostles she Lord, we pray that all will be done according to your glory. We pray for connectivity that the internet will be stable. Also, you will anoint our teacher that she will release the letter of the president and will be able to hear how well and be able to understand so that we shall not miss anything, but we will be able to apply the principles we are learning from the class to the church that they have given us for proper growth. We thank you, Lord, that they are doing this for the glory of your name and it gives us memory. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Charles. So in the last class we just had an introduction of the prophetic and we talked about how it is so important for us to hear God's voice so that we can live our lives according to that. And we saw how God is restoring, you know, different truths back to the body of Christ. And most recently we see that in the area of the prophetic, the apostolic, the things like that, God is really moving upon the body of Christ and people, not just our understanding of these things, but also people are beginning to get activated and moving these things. So we're only going to see more and more of this happening around us. And also we had a very, very brief introduction about the progress of the prophetic. We're going to touch on all these things later in detail. So that's the reason I didn't take us through many of the scriptures right then and there, but we will study it in detail later. So we saw how there is the basic gift of prophecy that all believers can flow in. Then we have some people who may have the grace gift of prophecy, which means that the ministry that one has, it is very prophetic. So that is the prophetic ministry. Then again we saw how the Lord Jesus Christ as an Ephesians 4 has appointed a few people in the office of the prophet. And those are the individuals whom we call as prophets. So not everyone who prophesies would be a prophet. So these are some of the basics that we actually touched upon. And then we saw an example Pastor had shared his own life story about how someone spoke over his life and many of the things that were spoken have come to pass and he's waiting on the Lord for the others also to come to pass. So the prophetic word is really from God. And when we speak that word in one way, I've heard people say that if we make our effort to hear accurately from God and then release the word of God accurately, then from then on it's God's responsibility in a sense to fulfill that word because it is his word and he will do it. And we saw that scripture from Isaiah 44 where God's word says that the Lord will perform the counsel of his servants. So there is a great sense of confidence when prophecy is done right because we are speaking in line with what is upon God's heart and it really begins to minister and work in people's lives. So this is something that we touched upon in the last class and today what we will see is we will see how to perceive prophecy. Once again it's very introductory and basic what we are going to do today. We are going to go deep into the very gift of prophecy and then again we are going to talk about how we hear from God once again. But today, overall, how is it that we get to receive? How do we pick up the prophetic word? So that is what we are going to answer. Once again, we will look at our class notes here from where we will study. So I was on page 5 where we looked at the prophecy there and we will continue. Page 6, I am going to start from page 6. So coming to the Bible, it's very interesting to note that the first person who is termed as a prophet is actually Abraham. Now in the life of Abraham many of us would notice that he was not someone who went around staying thus as the Lord, releasing a word over people's lives. He never did things like that and yet God addresses Abraham as a prophet. In Genesis 20 verse 7, God speaks to Abimelech and tells him about Abraham and says he is a prophet. He will pray for you and you shall live. And there's so much to learn from the life of Abraham about the prophetic. He's called as a prophet not because he released prophetic words but because his life was prophetic. We say that because he was constantly in communion with God. He was led by God and we know how God promised him a son and how God led him, how he put his faith and trust in God and he always followed after God. So his life was prophetic and God is giving him this recognition and he says he is a prophet. Abraham is a prophet. So because his life was prophetic so that's the first thing we take from Abraham's life and you see here that the term which is used in Hebrew there when God says he is a prophet that's the word nabi and the word nabi means inspired man. We know that inspiration is the communication that we receive from God. So Abraham is termed as a prophet or a nabi or an inspired man who heard from God. So that is the second thing. Abraham is a prophet because he was receiving from God. Now the third thing here is now in the circumstance that came about where Abimelech really wanted healing and God wanted to bring that about through Abraham's prayer. God told Abimelech, he is a prophet. He will pray for you and you shall live. So the third thing is that the life of the prophet is associated with prayer and look at how encouraging this is. If God were to say this about any one of us so and so will pray for you and you will live. So Abraham is connected so beautifully in prayer with God that even God is confident and God is affirming and he's saying this man he will pray for you and you will live. So there is a connection of the prophetic with prayer. Now can the prophetic exist without prayer? No. Without prayer without communication with God how can one receive? It's just not possible. So when we talk about the prophetic this is the inference the prophetic cannot exist without prayer. So for us to be prophetic we have to grow in a life of prayer. Can there be people who are very prayerful and not prophetic? That is possible. One can be very prayerful but not prophetic. It simply means that we pray anything. We pray according to our own will. We pray based on what we have decided and is that invalid? No, not at all. We can still pray and God hears our prayers but prophetic prayers are those that are prayed through in line with what God is saying. Now you would remember there was a time when God decided to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah even at that point the kind of prayer life and the communication that Abraham had with God in Genesis 18 verse 17 to God says the Lord said shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing? So you know he was connected with God strongly and in prayer and you see that God revealed to him. And based on that what was Abraham's response when God spoke to him and said that there's going to be judgment poured upon Sodom and Gomorrah he began interceding and we've studied about intercession earlier. But this kind of intercession was prophetic intercession because it was in response to the communication from God that there is going to be judgment. And we know Abraham he stood before the Lord and then he started you know kind of appealing to him. He started saying okay God if there are so many righteous people would you please spare the land? So that is prophetic intercession that is in response to what God is doing. So these are all some of the key things about the prophetic that we learn from the life of Abraham that one is a prophet not because they prophesy but you know because of hearing from God and having a life that is so connected with God and his message. Secondly we saw in the life of Abraham that prayer. Prayer plays a huge role in the prophetic. We cannot be prophetic if we are not prayerful. And thirdly we see that you know Abraham was an intercessor. He was an intercessor. He would hear from God a prophetic intercessor and then he would take that to the Lord in prayer. So some key things that really will make a difference in our prophetic journey. Now let's understand we also saw that Abraham was an inspired man. Kether would now be there. Now that was about Abraham. Now let's consider the lives of Moses and Aaron. Now when God met Moses at the burning bush there was a commission. God wanted him to go and speak to Pharaoh. But we know that Moses had his own insecurities and he came up with excuses and said God you know I can't speak and all. And at that time God told him that he could take the assistance of Aaron. So these passages are there in our notes. You could have a look at it. It is 4 verses 14 through 16 where God says is not Aaron the Levite your brother. I know that he can speak well and look he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you he will be glad in his heart. Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and I will teach you what you shall do. So he shall be your spokesman to the people and he himself shall be as a mouth for you and you shall be to him as God. So here we understand that God is putting Aaron as a spokesman. Is the message Aaron's? No the message is coming from Moses. The message that God gives Moses but spoken by Aaron. So Aaron is the spokesman. In another verse Exodus 7 1 God says see I have made you as God to Pharaoh and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. Okay Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. So who is Aaron in this equation? He is Moses's spokesman and now we are told that Aaron shall be your prophet and that word there is Nabi and Nabi once again it's used like 309 times in the Old Testament and basically what it means is yeah that's Nabi is an inspired person but Nabi is also a mouthpiece. One is a mouthpiece. It's like post like here in India we have this postal services where people come and hand you a letter that someone has written to you. Not so much anymore because of email but you understand what I mean. The message is somebody else's but there is another person who comes and delivers. So the prophet is one who is assigned to deliver the message. Message itself is not of the prophet it is from God but here is our understanding. Okay from Moses and Aaron this is what we get. We get that a prophet or a Nabi is a mouthpiece or a spokesperson. So even when we begin to learn more about getting activated in the gift of prophecy this is what we must understand. It's not something that I can come up with or you can come up with and also in a way it's good to have this understanding because then we don't take credit for it. Something wonderful happens you share to someone and then they say wow you know pastor you said this and it happened. Sometimes we ourselves are amazed and we wonder oh really did it work out that way? That's wonderful because we're just a mouthpiece. We are a spokesperson or you want to call postman postwoman. You have the message of God and our responsibility is to sincerely deliver the message. That is how we have seen the prophets and the prophetic function in the word of God and these are some truths that we can learn from the life of Moses and Aaron. So class I hope you all are okay. Is it too fast or comfortable? Are you able to get what we are talking about here? Just some response from you? Yes ma'am it's good. Okay great. Okay wonderful. Okay let's continue then. Thank you. Yeah all right. Now let's I told you we are going to understand how to perceive the prophetic message. So now we've got a picture of what the message is, who the messenger is. Now we'll continue. I'm on page eight here and we from the Old Testament will look at the process of receiving the word of God. There are a couple of terms that are used to describe prophets and these terms also tell us how the prophet got the message. Okay and this is for our understanding and it shows us how the human spirit really picks up God's communication. So in 1 Chronicles 29 verse 29. Okay these are all just some references. I told you that the word nubby is used 309 times. So you know there are many passages where these words are used but for our understanding one particular passage here 1 Chronicles 29-29 which says now the Acts of King David first and last indeed they are written in the book of Samuel the seer. Samuel the seer. Now in Hebrew seer is Roy. In the book of Nathan the prophet, prophet there in Hebrew nubby and in the book of Gad the seer. Seer there is the word Hose. So you're like wow aren't all these men prophets? So what is this whole distinction? Two of them in English are called seer and one is called prophet but when you look up the Hebrew there are three distinct words there. Two describe all of them are prophets but there are three words to describe them. So one would be Roy, one would be nubby and the other would be Hose. Okay and basically it just refers to the process that happens in receiving God's word. So both Roy and Hose translated as seer in English. It simply means that these prophets probably received God's communication through visualization. Seer isn't that clear? Seer you see something, you visualize something. Now this something we will talk later it can be a picture, it can be you know something like a motion image maybe like a movie or an incident that you are able to see or you can look into the spirit realm and you can understand how things are. Though the natural realm looks a certain way in the spirit realm things look very different. So one possibly is able to see into the spirit realm. So the main method what we are trying to conclude is there is a visualization process associated with the receiving of the message. Okay nubby we said nubby nubby is who nubby is inspired we'll talk about that also later. So can you see right now we have understanding of two at least two different processes one is to be inspired the other one is to see and receive a message. So you know people could receive from God in either one of these ways. Now let's continue there again tend to be a little more explanation about nubby okay we will come to that. So Amos chapter 7 verses 14 and 15 again these passages this passage we will read it says then Amos answered and said to Amaziah I was no prophet nubby okay the word you said is nubby nor was I a son of a prophet nubby but I was a sheep breeder and a tender of sycamore fruit. Then the Lord took me as I followed the flock and the Lord said to me go prophesy nubby to my people Israel. Okay so we have a little clarity about seer visualization process. Now this term nubby over here right this inspiration inspiration you know how does that inspiration really come into us there's another word in Micah chapter 2 verse 11 okay where it's associated with the words you know prophet prophesy that is the word nataf and nataf really means to ooze out or to bubble up okay it's it's something like if you've ever heated milk you know when it's fully boiled and it's done it rises up okay it kind of rises up it pours over if you're not careful then it would you know pour out of your your your vessel or we we know about springs it springs the way the water begins to bubble up at the source these are all just for us to have a have a visual reference to what this oozing looks like so the nubby prophet the inspired prophet is also one who has the message of the Lord oozing up or in other words bubbling up in him or her so to simplify this you know I would say that you know when we receive revelation now some of you could relate with this even today this is how many of us receive God's word some of us we are very visual when we pray we probably get an image and then you know we based on that image we release a prophetic word or we pray over people but then there could be some of us who don't see anything but when we start praying it's as if the words are flowing and you're wondering hey I'm not even thinking about this it's just coming out of me that's more of the nubby style okay but we could also be functioning in the seer style now all this technicality is not to box God up God speaks in creative ways and God can give us a message in either of either of the you know styles or process whatever you want to call it so we must not say that I am a seer kind of a you know my style of prophecy seer style or my style is more of the nubby where I get inspired by God you never know what while praying I mean it's happened to me sometimes I see sometimes it just comes sometimes in the same prayer I see a little bit I oozes up a bit some message just comes through in my spirit so God can work in any which way all this understanding is not to classify ourselves as one of the two or two box God up and say this is the only way in which God speaks to so-and-so or the only way in which God speaks to me but just for our understanding you know this the these processes where where what the prophets of old you know have sort of worked with and it just helps us understand the human spirit better and understand how God communicates with the human spirit okay so so now we have this this basic understanding of the inspiration way of receiving from God and also the seer or the visual way of receiving from God okay now let's move on how does a prophet okay hear from God now one thing about before we go into exactly how we receive the word you know one thing about the prophetic word is it comes with a sense of seriousness okay because you know we if we know anything about our God his word is not in vain isn't it he said one sentence let there be light and there was light one sentence and you know you associate that with creation so when God speaks it's not for our entertainment you know when God speaks it's not so that yeah I just have extra time and I'm saying there is a seriousness associated with every word of God and we must give God that honor for his word and thereby even the prophet Amos he records he says surely the Lord does nothing unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets a lion has roared who will not fear the Lord God has spoken who can but prophesy this is an Amos three versus seven and eight where basically what Amos is saying is when God speaks the Lord has spoken who can but prophesy similar to when the lion roars in the jungle okay there is a sense of awe there's a sense of fear oh okay the king of the jungle somewhere here and you know all the animals all the creatures are afraid there is a reaction and a response to the voice of the lion so in the same way the voice of God there is a seriousness attached to it and to a prophet or let's also use the word somebody who prophesies you know it's like wow God has spoken what do I do with this word I can't just you know let it go and we will learn you know not every word is meant to just be spoken out there are things that God may reveal for us to pray them through so there are different ways in which we will work with the prophetic word but there is a sense of seriousness attached with the prophetic word now similarly you know Jeremiah also he shares his experience in Jeremiah 20 but he says you know the word of God when it was spoken to him he says that the word in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones okay so he says wow you know if there's a burning fire shut up in our bones we are aware of it we can't just you know let it be and go on with life it doesn't work that way but there is a sense of seriousness attached to it and so Jeremiah you know he stepped out and he prophesied when the Lord put and you know basically he talks about how God you induced me you know you you prevailed Lord okay so the word when God spoke it to Jeremiah it came with such compulsion that he had to go ahead and release that prophetic ministry okay so there is that seriousness attached to the word of God and God speaks to his people now the way in which God speaks will touch a little bit more on that and then go to how we receive this communication when we say God speaks God speaks okay so recently I had a little child like a four-year-old asked me this question what are you saying God told me God told me I can't hear anything you know she basically came and told me that and I really appreciated her for her honesty she's like I can't hear is there something wrong with my ears so basically you know then I was trying to tell her no it's not when we say God speaks he has a way a common way that is seen in the Bible and that's how we receive his communication so in the book of Hosea chapter 12 verse 10 now we see the God says I have spoken by the prophets and have multiplied visions I have given symbols through the witness okay so two words here how did God speak through the prophets two words visions symbols okay so not that God can't speak in an audible voice of course he can however most commonly this is how God spoke and continues to speak visions symbols okay and if you don't have the understanding that God is trying to say something we will miss the communication so how does God speak through visions through symbols okay another passage here is from numbers numbers chapter 12 verses five through eight no again God says Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle and called Aaron and Miriam and they both went forward then he said here now my words if there is a prophet among you I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision I speak to him in a dream not so with my servant Moses he is faithful in all my house I speak to him face to face even plainly and not in dark sayings and he sees the form of the Lord why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses so God is saying that he spoke directly to Moses but how did he speak to all the others a few more terms to you to add to our list vision dreams then dark sayings okay so earlier we saw visions symbols what does it mean see God his general way of communication is through visions the visions we understand and we talk more about it later you know what is a vision what are the different types we'll talk about it later dreams dreams also we understand so that's another way in which God brings his communication now there are two other terms which many people may not be familiar with symbols dark sayings that they have to do with things like parables okay parables you understand when Jesus said there was a woman she lost her coin she had 10 coins she lost one coin and then she was searching for that one coin but is it about the coins no it's about a lost soul right so when you interpret the parable there is a message and God's God speaks like that in parables so when you say dark sayings symbols it has to do with parables it has to do with you know we say similitudes comparisons sometimes if you've seen I remember I prayed for one person and I could see a pillar okay and what does it mean so while praying for her I said okay this is what the Lord says you are strong I didn't say you are a pillar you have to interpret the symbol to interpret the symbol so God speaks through these symbols he speaks through dark sayings you know sometimes we have these dreams and we wake up thinking what did that mean you know I was wearing this dress and that happened and so and so came and what does it mean how's God speaking to us symbols dark sayings it has to be interpreted there are some comparisons there are some riddles in there okay there could be a drama for example Agabus you know Agabus he goes to Paul he takes Paul's belt he ties it around himself he binds himself and he says the person whose this is will be bound it's very dramatic but it is a prophetic word it's not direct he's not Agabus not telling Paul you when you go to Jerusalem you will be caught and then there on you will be imprisoned no it there is some amount of interpretation required to get the message so this is the common way in which God speaks so we can be alert to the communication of God did you have a vision did you have a dream was there a picture that came to your mind God is trying to say something okay so this is how God speaks to us now let's move on I told us that we are going to study a little more about how to receive God's communication so the experience of the prophet called Balam is very helpful a lot of us do not want to study from Balam's life because he is known as a prophet who prophesied for profit okay which is not good and there is a rebuke when you study the books of 2nd Peter the book of Jude there's a there are statements that say don't be like Balam he was greedy he he did God's work for his own benefit so don't be like him yeah we get that however now there is something valuable that we can learn from his prophetic process and his prophetic experience so Numbers chapter 24 verses 15 and 16 I'm on page 10 in our notes here we see how Balam received God's communication was 15 it says so he took up his oracle and said the utterance of Balam the son of boy and the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened the utterance of him who hears the words of God and has the knowledge of the most high who sees the vision of the Almighty who falls down with eyes wide open just in these two verses it's like a lot of secrets have been revealed so these are all ways in which the prophet Balam is receiving God's communication what are what are those ways he says eyes wide open eyes are opened we'll talk about that then later he says hear the words of God so he was hearing God's word how how was he hearing God's word we'll talk about that has the knowledge of the most high so he got God's knowledge how did he get it we'll talk about that and who sees the vision of the Almighty again remember how does God speak God speaks through visions so Balam also had that experience the vision of the Almighty and then of course he says falls down with eyes wide open okay so that is his last experience there so these are all ways in which even today we can perceive the message of the Lord so the first one here that Balam refers to he says his eyes were opened eyes wide open so this simply means looking into the spirit realm if you all remember Elisha in second Kings he tells his servant Gehazi you know you go and you see outside and then he comes back to tell Elisha that there are armies standing surrounding them but you know Elisha with his his view into the spirit realm looks around and he says look they may seem like the majority but we are the majority because heavenly hosts are with us how how could Elisha see that what what was he thinking well Elisha was looking into the spirit realm yes it was a reality that in the physical realm it was just Elisha and his servant and they were surrounded but that was not the spiritual reality the spiritual reality was that God was backing them up so when Balam also says that his eyes were wide open it is a discernment which which Elisha Balam had of the spirit and we know when we study about the workings of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit you know there's a discerning of spirits even that God gives us as a gift that through that ability we are able to look into the spirit realm and we are able to gauge and you know look at what exactly is going on so you know we can perceive into the spirit realm another good example is Stephen if you recall he was being stoned but in those moments right like before he he committed himself he died we see that he saw like heaven open Jesus was standing did the others around him see it no the others didn't how did Stephen see it but through his spirit and into the spirit realm so eyes wide open it refers to those spiritual eyes being awakened and you know enlightened where we can look into the spirit realm yeah and even Isaiah the prophet you know he talks about I saw the Lord seated on the throne and the train of his robe Isaiah where I can't see no throne here but it is into the spirit realm so this is one of the ways in which you and I can receive God's communication we through our spirit can look into the spirit realm and we we know you know what is going on and what God is telling us so that is one of the ways in which Balam perceive now the second way of perception is he talks about he heard the words of the Lord okay is it possible to hear God's audible voice answer is yes but in most most people's experiences we we have seen that it's more of receiving the words in our spirit rather than hearing the audible voice okay now Samuel is a great example in the Bible we know that God called him Samuel Samuel and Eli a man who was so seasoned in the ministry taught Samuel and told hey that's the voice of God if you hear it another time you say that Lord here I am so Samuel heard the audible voice of God it's very clear that only he heard it Eli didn't hear it Samuel had to go and tell Eli this is what it is so God speaks audibly even but the instances are few and far between thereby to hear God's voice generally means to receive words from God okay so let's put it this way the words come in without any sound so when God is speaking to me I might hear I might get a word in my spirit I might just get the word Mumbai okay and I'm thinking hey why should I go with job should I take and I get the word Mumbai and I'm like okay I understood did God say Mumbai I didn't hear anything but the word came into my spirit so basically it's like you hear minus the sound and that's how the human spirit picks it up most of the time so it can be a word or it can be like how God spoke to Holy Spirit spoke to Philip remember go overtake this chariot it's a it's a sentence so more than a single word can come into our spirit and that is the hearing from God that Valam also says he received the knowledge of the most high receiving the knowledge of the most high is like the nubby sort of perception where things bubble up in your spirit nothing was there a lot of preachers I've heard them say this I didn't know what to preach and suddenly the message was there remember we discussed about the merry miracle now I know that you know it's not like a good practice to always depend on something bubbling up because we are also called to study and be prepared but you know it happens God if you want to use internet language it's like a download there's nothing but then suddenly there's something and I've also heard people say that they sought the Lord and they have received the knowledge to such an extent that they have a things like I have a book in my spirit you know to have that much of content where did you get it from receive what Valam is saying I receive the knowledge of the Lord it's like a piece of his knowledge came into your spirit and then you know you're able to minister with that so receiving the knowledge of the Lord that's another way and of course you know he says I saw the vision of the Almighty vision we all understand a single picture or a motion picture or you know something visual that comes into our spirit it could also be a dream that can be a trance so many things can happen then finally Valam said that he fell down with eyes wide open now this is more of a picture of a trance okay so he was in a trance eyes wide open physical eyes could have been open but the ultimate thing is that his spiritual eyes were open okay he was in a trance and in those moments God was speaking God was imparting things into his spirit so now here's the bottom line of both of these introductory classes that we've had yesterday and today God speaks we serve a God who speaks and we just have to learn how to hear from him how to understand what he's saying and you know grow in it develop in it because you know why would God speak if he didn't want us to hear it he definitely wants us to hear it there are there are passages that that you can look up that say that not only does he want to speak of the usual things but God is a God who can also reveal secrets remember the life of Daniel now Daniel 222 we see there that our God reveals deep and secret things he knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with him okay so that is coming through from Daniel's experience and then again we see there in those passages there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets that's what Daniel says okay so God God knows God doesn't keep it to himself he also speaks so we as we go through this entire course I'm sure that you know we will perceive not that God is not speaking right now he is it's about us perceiving and receiving his message so with that I think I will wrap up today's session we've basically touched on how to how to hear from God okay in the broadest sense okay I'm looking at the chat now Prabhakar pastor how do we interpret accurately when God speaks through symbols okay so Prabhakar the short answer to that is understanding biblical symbols is very helpful okay so that can form the basis of our interpretation but over and above you know sometimes there may not we may not have a correlation for example if I see a car in my dream there's no car in the Bible how do I interpret it okay so you really have to depend on the Holy Spirit the way Daniel depended on the Holy Spirit God in fact revealed the dream and gave the interpretation to him so interpretation comes by the spirit so one thing is to be well versed in the word of God and the symbols in scripture and if there is something that has no correlation you basically just depend you know on the Holy Spirit you can pray and say okay God what were you trying to say and then you get the interpretation okay so I hope that helps Elisha can this be equated to the gift of the word of knowledge in the New Testament yes so the gift of the word of knowledge Elisha we usually classify the gifts of the Holy Spirit under some categories for you know ease one is revelatory gifts okay under the revelatory gifts would come things like word of knowledge prophecy word of wisdom basically they reveal something from God's heart to us so yeah so they're all you know part of the same same basket you could say that and I hope that answers your question all right yeah okay so I think we've also run out of time today so class I really hope you are enjoying these sessions okay so Kennedy says dark saying and how to know if it is true so dark saying Kennedy is just symbolism it's just symbolism for example if I see a lion in a vision I have to interpret it a lion could mean the line of Judah or it could also mean the devil he's like a roaring lion going about looking for whom he can devour so it could be Satan it totally depends on the interpretation by the Spirit of God I need to understand God what are you saying so a dark saying is just symbolism because by only looking at the symbol you cannot tell what is being communicated so that's all dark saying symbol means those images which need further interpretation okay all right class I think yes of course everything has to be interpreted in line with scripture we've run out of time so let's
