One of the most incredible
natural phenomenon in the world
00:00:11.57\00:00:14.48
is lightning.
00:00:14.51\00:00:15.84
At 50,000 degrees
Fahrenheit, a bolt of lightning
00:00:15.88\00:00:18.85
is as hot as the
surface of the sun
00:00:18.88\00:00:20.98
and one of the
brightest phenomenon
00:00:21.02\00:00:22.42
we ever see here on earth.
00:00:22.45\00:00:24.19
The International
Space Station has observed
00:00:24.22\00:00:26.45
that our planet is
struck by lightning
00:00:26.49\00:00:28.26
more than 100 times per second.
00:00:28.29\00:00:31.09
You know, every day,
00:00:31.13\00:00:32.46
there are about
44,000 lightning storms
00:00:32.49\00:00:34.76
that occur throughout the world,
00:00:34.80\00:00:36.26
striking the earth
6000 times a minute.
00:00:36.30\00:00:39.23
The average lightning
strike is about six miles long,
00:00:39.27\00:00:42.07
and travels about 30,000
times as fast as a bullet.
00:00:42.10\00:00:46.47
And the temperature of lightning
00:00:46.51\00:00:48.04
can reach 50,000
degrees Fahrenheit,
00:00:48.08\00:00:51.11
that's hotter than
the surface of the sun.
00:00:51.15\00:00:53.62
You know, it's actually a myth
00:00:53.65\00:00:54.98
that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place.
00:00:55.02\00:00:57.65
For example, the top of
the Empire State building
00:00:57.69\00:01:00.46
where I used to
live in New York,
00:01:00.49\00:01:01.96
it averages over
20 strikes per year.
00:01:01.99\00:01:04.86
In one storm, it was
struck six times in one evening.
00:01:04.89\00:01:08.76
One strike of
lightning might contain
00:01:08.80\00:01:10.47
more than one million
volts and over 200,000 amps.
00:01:10.50\00:01:14.47
And it's got enough power
to lift an ocean liner six feet
00:01:14.50\00:01:17.84
into the air.
00:01:17.87\00:01:19.41
On average,
thunder can only be heard
00:01:19.44\00:01:21.48
at a distance of
five or six miles.
00:01:21.51\00:01:23.61
But at night,
00:01:23.65\00:01:24.98
lightning can be seen
as much as 100 miles away.
00:01:25.01\00:01:28.92
You know, it's still
something of a mystery
00:01:28.95\00:01:30.35
exactly what causes lightning.
00:01:30.39\00:01:32.72
But there's no
mystery that Jesus said
00:01:32.75\00:01:34.52
His Second Coming is
going to be like lightning
00:01:34.56\00:01:37.09
shining from the east
all the way to the west.
00:01:37.13\00:01:40.00
We're gonna learn about it.
00:01:40.03\00:01:41.36
So join me now for
this amazing adventure.
00:01:41.40\00:01:43.60
Well, good
evening, again everyone.
00:02:02.32\00:02:03.79
And welcome to another
Amazing Adventure program.
00:02:03.82\00:02:07.76
A series called
Amazing Adventure,
00:02:07.79\00:02:09.86
A Journey for Life with Jesus.
00:02:09.89\00:02:11.73
And we're just
delighted that you're back here.
00:02:11.76\00:02:13.16
We've been having a
good time over the last,
00:02:13.19\00:02:15.26
let's see, this is
our third presentation.
00:02:15.30\00:02:17.70
And we'd like to invite
Pastor Doug to come forward,
00:02:17.73\00:02:20.27
as well as our singers
00:02:20.30\00:02:21.94
as we get ready to
sing our theme song.
00:02:21.97\00:02:26.74
All right.
00:02:26.78\00:02:28.11
Now hopefully you
all remember the words,
00:02:28.14\00:02:29.51
let's stand and we're
gonna be singing together,
00:02:29.54\00:02:31.61
"Life is an Adventure."
00:02:31.65\00:02:32.98
Life is an
adventure following the King
00:02:38.69\00:02:43.79
Every day with Jesus
makes us want to sing
00:02:43.83\00:02:48.76
Walking in the
spirit He will lead the way
00:02:48.80\00:02:53.90
With his words to guide
us glowing deep inside us
00:02:53.94\00:02:59.07
Nothing can divide
us following the King
00:02:59.11\00:03:05.78
Life is an
adventure following the King
00:03:05.81\00:03:11.09
Every day with Jesus
makes us want to sing
00:03:11.12\00:03:16.39
Conquering with
kindness everywhere we go
00:03:16.42\00:03:21.76
Voices we are
raising Jesus we are praising
00:03:21.80\00:03:27.24
Life is so
amazing following the King
00:03:27.27\00:03:33.41
Life is so
amazing following the King
00:03:33.44\00:03:40.22
All right.
00:03:42.22\00:03:45.09
Now each night I think we get
a few questions that come in.
00:03:45.12\00:03:47.29
We do and we got
some good questions.
00:03:47.32\00:03:49.02
It's coming from a
couple of countries.
00:03:49.06\00:03:51.93
Of course, we have in US,
00:03:51.96\00:03:53.40
but we also have
some from the Philippines
00:03:53.43\00:03:55.13
I understand and I think
there's one from India as well.
00:03:55.16\00:03:57.30
So I think we're
ready for our questions
00:03:57.33\00:03:59.20
if they want to
put them on the screen.
00:03:59.23\00:04:01.37
Hi. My name is Sophie.
00:04:01.40\00:04:03.27
And I live in Tecate
Baja California, Mexico.
00:04:03.30\00:04:07.54
And my question is,
00:04:07.58\00:04:09.38
is the world
really going to end?
00:04:09.41\00:04:11.08
All right.
00:04:11.11\00:04:12.45
So the question from Mexico,
is the world really gonna end?
00:04:12.48\00:04:15.28
Well, that ties in
with our subject tonight.
00:04:15.32\00:04:17.39
It does perfectly.
00:04:17.42\00:04:19.32
Well, God had a plan
when He made the world.
00:04:19.35\00:04:23.26
He made a
paradise for Adam and Eve
00:04:23.29\00:04:25.29
and their descendants,
00:04:25.33\00:04:26.66
and He wanted
it to last forever.
00:04:26.70\00:04:28.96
But the devil came,
we learned last night
00:04:29.00\00:04:30.87
he invaded our world,
he kidnapped the planet.
00:04:30.90\00:04:34.24
Jesus came, and He
bought back the world,
00:04:34.27\00:04:37.51
those who accept Him.
00:04:37.54\00:04:39.31
And the Bible says,
He's gonna make a new heavens
00:04:39.34\00:04:42.14
and a new earth.
00:04:42.18\00:04:43.51
So the world the
way it is now will end,
00:04:43.55\00:04:46.51
but God is gonna
make the world over again,
00:04:46.55\00:04:49.12
fresh, perfect,
and we have a lesson
00:04:49.15\00:04:51.22
that's gonna talk about that.
00:04:51.25\00:04:52.89
But, yeah, it's this world,
00:04:52.92\00:04:54.52
the way it's going
now is not gonna last.
00:04:54.56\00:04:56.49
And we'll talk
about some of the signs
00:04:56.52\00:04:58.83
that the Bible gives
us in our program tonight.
00:04:58.86\00:05:00.76
Okay.
00:05:00.80\00:05:02.13
And our next
video question we have.
00:05:02.16\00:05:03.77
Hi. My name is Victoria.
00:05:03.80\00:05:05.13
I'm 10 years old
and I'm from New Jersey.
00:05:05.17\00:05:06.97
My question is, how can I deal
with my anxiety and trust God
00:05:07.00\00:05:10.01
when there's so many scary
00:05:10.04\00:05:11.37
and bad things
happening in the world?
00:05:11.41\00:05:12.74
All right.
00:05:12.77\00:05:14.11
How does a person trust God
00:05:14.14\00:05:15.48
when there's so many bad
things happening in the world?
00:05:15.51\00:05:18.01
Well, that would scare me.
00:05:18.05\00:05:19.38
It looks like she was driving
while she asked that question.
00:05:19.41\00:05:23.72
How can you trust God?
00:05:23.75\00:05:26.02
Well, you know, it says
in the Bible in Psalm 23.
00:05:26.05\00:05:30.73
"Yes, though I go through
00:05:30.76\00:05:32.26
the valley of
the shadow of death,
00:05:32.29\00:05:34.73
I will fear no evil
because You are with me."
00:05:34.76\00:05:39.03
God told Moses,
"I will be with you.
00:05:39.07\00:05:41.67
Do not be afraid."
00:05:41.70\00:05:43.04
God told Joshua,
"Be very courageous.
00:05:43.07\00:05:45.71
I am with you."
00:05:45.74\00:05:47.08
God told Jacob,
"I will be with you
00:05:47.11\00:05:49.54
and bring you back
to the land again."
00:05:49.58\00:05:51.65
God always keeps His promise.
00:05:51.68\00:05:54.05
What did Jesus say,
when He went to heaven?
00:05:54.08\00:05:56.79
"I am with you always,
even to the end of the world."
00:05:56.82\00:06:00.82
So if Jesus is with us,
do we need to be afraid?
00:06:00.86\00:06:03.69
No.
00:06:03.73\00:06:05.06
You know, I grew up, I think,
I told you, part of my life,
00:06:05.09\00:06:07.60
I lived in New York City
00:06:07.63\00:06:08.96
and it was a
dangerous city back then,
00:06:09.00\00:06:10.47
it was probably more
dangerous than it is today.
00:06:10.50\00:06:13.37
And sometimes
kids would get mugged
00:06:13.40\00:06:16.27
and things get
stolen, you could get robbed.
00:06:16.30\00:06:19.37
It wasn't always very safe.
00:06:19.41\00:06:21.28
But I had a big friend
that went to school with me.
00:06:21.31\00:06:24.58
And when I walked to
school with my big friend,
00:06:24.61\00:06:27.02
I wasn't very afraid.
00:06:27.05\00:06:29.02
Well, Jesus is
00:06:29.05\00:06:30.39
the biggest friend you can have.
00:06:30.42\00:06:31.75
You have nothing to fear
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.12
if you are with
Him and He is with you.
00:06:33.15\00:06:34.62
Amen? Amen.
00:06:34.66\00:06:36.73
Our next question that we have.
00:06:36.76\00:06:38.23
Hi. I'm Lucy.
00:06:38.26\00:06:40.20
Nine years old from Philippines.
00:06:40.23\00:06:43.23
When I go to heaven,
will I remain as a child?
00:06:43.26\00:06:48.97
Okay.
00:06:49.00\00:06:50.34
So the question is,
00:06:50.37\00:06:51.71
do children stay
children in heaven
00:06:51.74\00:06:53.38
or what happens to them?
00:06:53.41\00:06:54.74
Do they grow up?
00:06:54.78\00:06:56.91
Well, you know,
the Bible tells us
00:06:56.95\00:06:58.45
in the Book of Malachi,
00:06:58.48\00:07:00.38
it says, "That
they shall go forth
00:07:00.42\00:07:02.28
and grow up as
calves of the stalls."
00:07:02.32\00:07:05.09
It's talking about
heaven in that verse.
00:07:05.12\00:07:07.69
And so if there's
a child in this life,
00:07:07.72\00:07:10.63
when Jesus
comes, if you're alive
00:07:10.66\00:07:12.19
when Jesus comes, you
get a glorified eternal body,
00:07:12.23\00:07:15.06
but it will be a youthful body,
and when you get to heaven,
00:07:15.10\00:07:17.87
you'll continue to learn
and to grow up in heaven.
00:07:17.90\00:07:21.47
Someone might ask the question,
now, grandma, when she died,
00:07:21.50\00:07:24.81
she was 99 years old,
she was a little bit wrinkly.
00:07:24.84\00:07:28.38
Will grandma will be all wrinkly
00:07:28.41\00:07:30.25
when she gets to
heaven in her glorified body?
00:07:30.28\00:07:33.05
I don't think so.
00:07:33.08\00:07:34.42
I think everybody's gonna have
00:07:34.45\00:07:35.88
a perfectly
mature youthful body.
00:07:35.92\00:07:38.39
There'll be no effects of aging,
00:07:38.42\00:07:40.86
but children will grow up.
00:07:40.89\00:07:42.22
You know, some other verses
00:07:42.26\00:07:43.59
that we know that
there's children in heaven.
00:07:43.63\00:07:45.26
It tells us that
00:07:45.29\00:07:47.06
the child will play
00:07:47.10\00:07:48.60
on the hole of
a venomous serpent
00:07:48.63\00:07:50.97
and it will not hurt.
00:07:51.00\00:07:52.73
There's nothing,
a child will lead
00:07:52.77\00:07:55.54
a lion and a wolf in heaven.
00:07:55.57\00:07:57.44
So are there children in heaven?
00:07:57.47\00:07:59.41
Yes. There must be.
00:07:59.44\00:08:01.11
It says,
children will be playing
00:08:01.14\00:08:02.74
in the streets
of heaven laughing.
00:08:02.78\00:08:04.95
So the Bible definitely tells us
00:08:04.98\00:08:07.15
that there will be
children in heaven,
00:08:07.18\00:08:09.02
but you won't
stay children forever.
00:08:09.05\00:08:11.02
You'll continue to grow up
00:08:11.05\00:08:12.82
until you reach perfect maturity
00:08:12.85\00:08:14.66
and then you'll
continue to learn and to grow
00:08:14.69\00:08:16.86
in your mind and
your abilities forever.
00:08:16.89\00:08:19.53
Now, Pastor Doug, isn't it true
00:08:19.56\00:08:20.90
that there's even
a verse in the Bible
00:08:20.93\00:08:22.26
that seems to indicate
00:08:22.30\00:08:23.73
that children in heaven
00:08:23.77\00:08:25.10
will age a little
slower than here on this earth?
00:08:25.13\00:08:27.50
That's right.
00:08:27.54\00:08:28.87
It says a child
will die at 100 years
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.44
and some people think
00:08:31.47\00:08:32.81
that means that
children will die.
00:08:32.84\00:08:34.18
It actually says,
00:08:34.21\00:08:35.54
they won't even cease to
be children until they're 100.
00:08:35.58\00:08:39.31
Have you read in Genesis,
some of the first patriarchs
00:08:39.35\00:08:42.68
when they got married,
they waited till they were 100,
00:08:42.72\00:08:46.09
before they got married.
00:08:46.12\00:08:47.89
And so you'll live forever
00:08:47.92\00:08:49.99
and so God's gonna
let us grow up longer.
00:08:50.03\00:08:52.66
How many of you
have had a puppy?
00:08:52.69\00:08:54.63
And you really
liked it as a puppy,
00:08:54.66\00:08:56.77
but it seemed like
it was just a few months
00:08:56.80\00:08:58.53
it turned into a dog.
00:08:58.57\00:09:00.90
And you wish it could
have been a puppy longer.
00:09:00.94\00:09:04.04
Well, you'll get
to enjoy your youth
00:09:04.07\00:09:06.21
even longer in heaven.
00:09:06.24\00:09:07.58
All right.
00:09:07.61\00:09:08.94
Well, that's it for our
Bible questions for tonight.
00:09:08.98\00:09:10.55
And again, I wanna thank those
00:09:10.58\00:09:12.08
who sent in
their Bible questions.
00:09:12.11\00:09:13.65
And also we're gonna be asking
00:09:13.68\00:09:15.02
some of you throughout this week
00:09:15.05\00:09:16.58
for your Bible question.
00:09:16.62\00:09:18.02
So I hope you're
thinking of your question.
00:09:18.05\00:09:20.19
Right, Pastor Doug, we'll
turn the time offered to you.
00:09:20.22\00:09:21.56
Thank you, very
much, Pastor Ross.
00:09:21.59\00:09:23.12
And we're so glad
that you're all here.
00:09:23.16\00:09:25.16
I wanna welcome our
friends who may be watching
00:09:25.19\00:09:27.03
online or
television and our class here,
00:09:27.06\00:09:31.80
we have an exciting
presentation tonight,
00:09:31.83\00:09:34.14
at least, it's
really exciting for me.
00:09:34.17\00:09:36.30
Our lesson tonight is called
Journey through the Stars.
00:09:36.34\00:09:40.24
And we're gonna be
talking about taking
00:09:40.28\00:09:41.78
one of the most incredible trips
00:09:41.81\00:09:43.91
in the universe.
00:09:43.95\00:09:45.28
Now we had a memory
verse tonight, John 14:3.
00:09:45.31\00:09:49.15
Why don't you say that with me?
00:09:49.18\00:09:50.89
Jesus said, "And if I go
and prepare a place for you,
00:09:50.92\00:09:57.06
I will come again,
and receive you to myself,
00:09:57.09\00:10:02.53
that where I am,
you may be also."
00:10:02.56\00:10:06.97
Jesus said, "I will come again
00:10:07.00\00:10:08.90
and take you to the
places that I prepared."
00:10:08.94\00:10:11.57
You know, what that means?
00:10:11.61\00:10:13.24
You need to get
ready for space travel.
00:10:13.27\00:10:16.51
Now I don't know about
you, but one of my dreams...
00:10:16.54\00:10:21.55
I don't know
what it is about me,
00:10:21.58\00:10:22.92
but I always wanted to fly.
00:10:22.95\00:10:25.95
My dad was a pilot,
brothers were pilots,
00:10:25.99\00:10:30.09
when I was on snow skis,
I always look for the jumps.
00:10:30.13\00:10:33.86
When I'm on a motorcycle
or on a quad, I like jumping.
00:10:33.90\00:10:38.13
When I'm waterskiing,
I jumped over the wake.
00:10:38.17\00:10:41.14
I like the feeling of
flying through the air.
00:10:41.17\00:10:43.87
I've jumped out of an
airplane with a parachute.
00:10:43.91\00:10:46.74
I've jumped off a
mountain with a hang glider.
00:10:46.78\00:10:49.54
I love flying, but my
dream, I wanna go to space.
00:10:49.58\00:10:54.78
Now there was a man, he
had a dream to go to space,
00:10:54.82\00:10:58.99
Dennis Anthony Tito.
00:10:59.02\00:11:01.49
He was an engineer
that made a lot of money.
00:11:01.52\00:11:03.83
He made millions
and millions of dollars
00:11:03.86\00:11:07.10
through investments
in the space industry.
00:11:07.13\00:11:09.26
And he went to NASA.
00:11:09.30\00:11:10.63
He said, I wanna go to space
00:11:10.67\00:11:12.00
and you can give me some
training as an astronaut,
00:11:12.03\00:11:14.37
and I'll do
experiments, they said,
00:11:14.40\00:11:15.74
"No," you're not a
professional astronaut,
00:11:15.77\00:11:17.54
we're gonna not talk to you.
00:11:17.57\00:11:18.91
He kept saying, I
wanna go to space.
00:11:18.94\00:11:20.28
I want to go to space.
00:11:20.31\00:11:21.64
They wouldn't do it.
00:11:21.68\00:11:23.18
So he went to the Russians,
who he did business with.
00:11:23.21\00:11:26.98
The Russians, you know,
00:11:27.02\00:11:28.35
we share the
space station with them.
00:11:28.38\00:11:30.49
The Russians are the one...
00:11:30.52\00:11:31.85
We don't have a
space shuttle anymore.
00:11:31.89\00:11:33.22
You know how we get
our astronauts to space.
00:11:33.25\00:11:35.32
The Russians fly
them back and forth
00:11:35.36\00:11:37.03
in their Soyuz rockets.
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.86
And he went to the Russians.
00:11:39.89\00:11:41.23
He said, I will give you
00:11:41.26\00:11:42.60
$20 million for
your space program
00:11:42.63\00:11:45.47
if you let me go up
to the space station
00:11:45.50\00:11:47.44
for eight days
00:11:47.47\00:11:48.84
before the spaceship returns.
00:11:48.87\00:11:50.87
They said, $20 million dollars?
00:11:50.91\00:11:52.71
Okay.
00:11:52.74\00:11:54.08
He became the
first tourist to space.
00:11:54.11\00:11:57.01
Now does he look happy to you?
00:11:57.05\00:11:58.58
Yes.
00:11:58.61\00:11:59.95
He had to pay $20
million for admission,
00:11:59.98\00:12:02.02
but he didn't care.
00:12:02.05\00:12:03.39
It was his dream.
00:12:03.42\00:12:05.45
Wouldn't it be wonderful
00:12:05.49\00:12:06.82
if you could buy
a ticket to heaven?
00:12:06.86\00:12:09.32
Somebody bought
that ticket for you,
00:12:09.36\00:12:11.13
you and I can't afford it.
00:12:11.16\00:12:13.16
You get to go on a trip
not just to the space station,
00:12:13.19\00:12:16.50
but you get to go on a
trip through the universe.
00:12:16.53\00:12:19.67
Now you know how
big the universe is.
00:12:19.70\00:12:21.50
This man just went
to the space station.
00:12:21.54\00:12:23.51
They're saying in a few years,
00:12:23.54\00:12:25.04
you probably heard of
Tesla cars, Elon Musk.
00:12:25.07\00:12:27.78
He's got a company
that's called SpaceX.
00:12:27.81\00:12:30.98
They're developing a rocket
called the big Falcon rocket.
00:12:31.01\00:12:34.68
And that rocket, they
say in about five years,
00:12:34.72\00:12:36.99
it's gonna be able to
take tourists to the moon,
00:12:37.02\00:12:39.22
go around the moon and back,
you can't land on the moon.
00:12:39.25\00:12:41.66
Just go around the
moon once and come back.
00:12:41.69\00:12:45.06
Will that be exciting
to take a trip to the moon?
00:12:45.09\00:12:48.36
And they say,
they think they can fit
00:12:48.40\00:12:49.73
100 people on their rocket.
00:12:49.76\00:12:53.17
Oh, I don't know if I'd
ever be able to afford it.
00:12:53.20\00:12:56.57
But I'd love to go to space.
00:12:56.60\00:12:58.27
You know, they
send teachers to space,
00:12:58.31\00:12:59.81
they send all kinds of people,
00:12:59.84\00:13:01.34
if you can write
letters for me to NASA,
00:13:01.38\00:13:03.04
tell them, send
a pastor to space.
00:13:03.08\00:13:04.91
I'd like to be that
pastor, I would love to go.
00:13:04.95\00:13:07.65
But I know, I'm
gonna go someday.
00:13:07.68\00:13:10.45
You know, when
you think about space,
00:13:10.49\00:13:13.05
it is so big, even
those who go to the moon
00:13:13.09\00:13:16.39
or were planning a
trip to Mars in a few years.
00:13:16.42\00:13:18.89
That's not very far.
00:13:18.93\00:13:20.26
You have not even
left our neighborhood
00:13:20.30\00:13:22.96
when you're in our solar
system because space is so huge.
00:13:23.00\00:13:26.23
We know now from
the Hubble telescope,
00:13:26.27\00:13:28.77
that space is ginormous,
00:13:28.80\00:13:31.21
it's immense, it's
colossal, it's big.
00:13:31.24\00:13:34.54
You know, I can't
find words for it.
00:13:34.58\00:13:36.18
It's eternal.
00:13:36.21\00:13:38.05
Let me give you an example.
00:13:38.08\00:13:40.02
Right now, the
most powerful telescope
00:13:40.05\00:13:41.62
we have is the Hubble telescope.
00:13:41.65\00:13:44.29
They took the Hubble
telescope a few years ago.
00:13:44.32\00:13:47.56
They aimed it at a piece
of the sky where it was dark.
00:13:47.59\00:13:50.16
You know, on a clear
night when you look up,
00:13:50.19\00:13:51.69
you see a little cream of stars,
00:13:51.73\00:13:53.19
looks like stars
sprinkled everywhere,
00:13:53.23\00:13:54.56
but you can see
a few dark spots.
00:13:54.60\00:13:56.80
They said, "We
wonder what will happen
00:13:56.83\00:13:59.37
if we focus a telescope
00:13:59.40\00:14:00.74
for several months
00:14:00.77\00:14:02.10
on the darkest place in the sky,
00:14:02.14\00:14:04.11
what we will see?"
00:14:04.14\00:14:06.01
And they took a
picture and it was called
00:14:06.04\00:14:07.48
the Ultra Deep Field of Space.
00:14:07.51\00:14:12.61
Here's a picture of it.
00:14:12.65\00:14:13.98
It took about 90 days,
00:14:14.02\00:14:15.88
they focused the
telescope up there,
00:14:15.92\00:14:17.92
and they found 10,000 galaxies,
00:14:17.95\00:14:23.32
where in a little piece of sky,
00:14:23.36\00:14:25.89
as big as a piece of rice.
00:14:25.93\00:14:28.30
Now, let me get you
to think about that.
00:14:28.33\00:14:29.66
I'm gonna back at my slides.
00:14:29.70\00:14:31.03
Here's a picture of a
galaxy, when you look at night,
00:14:31.07\00:14:32.73
and you see that
galaxy is some barrel galaxy,
00:14:32.77\00:14:34.80
one of them.
00:14:34.84\00:14:36.44
It looks like a star.
00:14:36.47\00:14:38.01
It actually has
200 billion suns,
00:14:38.04\00:14:43.11
not million,
00:14:43.14\00:14:44.48
200 billion approximately
stars are in that one dot.
00:14:44.51\00:14:48.75
We used to think
that was one star.
00:14:48.78\00:14:50.25
It was actually a cluster,
a spiral of 200 billion.
00:14:50.29\00:14:55.09
And it looks like if you fired
a bullet in the middle of it,
00:14:55.12\00:14:57.09
you'd hit
something, it is so big,
00:14:57.13\00:14:58.99
and those
planets are so far apart,
00:14:59.03\00:15:00.80
that if you fired a
bullet right in the middle,
00:15:00.83\00:15:02.23
you probably never hit anything.
00:15:02.26\00:15:04.63
Space is so huge,
00:15:04.67\00:15:07.00
you know, they're
building the telescope now.
00:15:07.04\00:15:08.74
It's called the
James Webb telescope.
00:15:08.77\00:15:12.64
The shield of the telescope
is as big as a tennis court.
00:15:12.67\00:15:16.24
It's gonna have
the biggest mirror,
00:15:16.28\00:15:18.05
it's gonna be 100
times more powerful.
00:15:18.08\00:15:21.05
I think it'll be in
operation about 2023,
00:15:21.08\00:15:24.35
100 times more powerful
than the Hubble telescope.
00:15:24.39\00:15:27.69
When you aim the telescope up
and you see some of the nebula,
00:15:27.72\00:15:31.26
beautiful colors and things
up in space, they got this one,
00:15:31.29\00:15:33.80
it's one of my favorite.
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.70
They call it the
God's Eye Nebula.
00:15:35.73\00:15:38.37
Can you tell why?
00:15:38.40\00:15:39.73
Doesn't that look a
little bit like an eye?
00:15:39.77\00:15:41.84
It's almost like God's up there
00:15:41.87\00:15:43.20
with one eye looking down on us.
00:15:43.24\00:15:45.07
But He is looking
at us all the time.
00:15:45.11\00:15:46.64
Huh?
00:15:46.68\00:15:48.01
How many of you would like
to be able to go through space?
00:15:48.04\00:15:50.88
Have you ever sung that
song Before Rock of Ages?
00:15:50.91\00:15:54.42
There's a verse
in there, it says,
00:15:54.45\00:15:55.78
"When I go to worlds unknown,
00:15:55.82\00:15:58.99
see thee on thy
judgment throne."
00:15:59.02\00:16:01.39
We'll get to soar through space.
00:16:01.42\00:16:02.82
Bible says, "We will
mount up with wings like eagles,
00:16:02.86\00:16:06.76
we'll be able to fly."
00:16:06.80\00:16:08.93
And you won't need a spacesuit.
00:16:08.96\00:16:11.13
And you'll be able to fly
faster than the speed of light,
00:16:11.17\00:16:14.50
and light goes
186,000 miles a second.
00:16:14.54\00:16:18.07
Well, I'm excited about,
but the most important thing
00:16:18.11\00:16:20.88
about going to space,
00:16:20.91\00:16:22.24
it's not just all
the wonders we'll see,
00:16:22.28\00:16:24.08
it's the one that
we will see, Jesus.
00:16:24.11\00:16:29.38
So Jesus
promised He's coming back.
00:16:29.42\00:16:31.29
Let's look at
question number one.
00:16:31.32\00:16:33.69
Will Jesus really
come back to earth again,
00:16:33.72\00:16:36.29
and take us through
the stars to heaven?
00:16:36.32\00:16:39.66
That's His promise to us.
00:16:39.69\00:16:41.73
"In my Father's
house are many mansions:
00:16:41.76\00:16:44.30
I go to prepare
a place for you."
00:16:44.33\00:16:46.07
How many of you have
a place prepared by God?
00:16:46.10\00:16:49.40
He's got one
for each one of you.
00:16:49.44\00:16:51.57
"And if I go and
prepare a place for you,
00:16:51.61\00:16:54.01
I will come again."
00:16:54.04\00:16:56.38
Now you know why
He said, "Again?"
00:16:56.41\00:16:58.51
Because Jesus came
once already, didn't He?
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.82
He came as our sacrifice.
00:17:00.85\00:17:02.92
He's coming next
time as our King.
00:17:02.95\00:17:04.59
"I will come again,
and receive you to myself,
00:17:04.62\00:17:07.39
that where I am,
you may be also."
00:17:07.42\00:17:09.66
You know, how the Bible ends?
00:17:09.69\00:17:11.19
The Bible ends with a promise.
00:17:11.23\00:17:12.56
He says, "Behold,
I'm coming quickly,
00:17:12.59\00:17:15.10
and my reward is with me,
00:17:15.13\00:17:17.50
to give to every man
according as his work will be."
00:17:17.53\00:17:21.47
Here's the important
thing I want to impress tonight
00:17:21.50\00:17:23.41
it's in this question.
00:17:23.44\00:17:25.61
How will Jesus
come the second time?
00:17:25.64\00:17:30.08
Why do we need to
understand how Jesus will come?
00:17:30.11\00:17:34.32
Do you know when
Jesus came the first time,
00:17:34.35\00:17:36.08
there were
prophecies in the Bible
00:17:36.12\00:17:37.62
that told all
about His first coming,
00:17:37.65\00:17:40.12
but most people were not
ready for His first coming
00:17:40.16\00:17:43.02
because they
misunderstood the prophecies.
00:17:43.06\00:17:46.39
When the wise men came riding
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.26
on their camels and
donkeys into Jerusalem,
00:17:48.30\00:17:50.33
they said, "Where is He
that is born king of the Jews?"
00:17:50.37\00:17:53.00
You would have
thought the Jewish nation
00:17:53.03\00:17:54.37
would have been all
excited and looking for Him.
00:17:54.40\00:17:56.71
They were all...
00:17:56.74\00:17:59.37
The Messiah, their Savior came,
00:17:59.41\00:18:01.61
and most of the
nation was unaware,
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.28
just a few shepherds.
00:18:03.31\00:18:05.31
And Simon in the temple
00:18:05.35\00:18:06.92
and a few people were
looking for His coming
00:18:06.95\00:18:09.42
because the devil
had deceived them about
00:18:09.45\00:18:11.85
how He was coming.
00:18:11.89\00:18:13.69
You see, the Bible tells us
00:18:13.72\00:18:15.42
Jesus would come the
first time like a lamb,
00:18:15.46\00:18:18.69
the second time like a lion.
00:18:18.73\00:18:21.66
They thought He was coming
the first time like a lion,
00:18:21.70\00:18:24.83
and the second time like a lamb.
00:18:24.87\00:18:27.94
He came as a sacrifice
quietly, meekly, the first time.
00:18:27.97\00:18:31.24
He's coming like
a conquering King
00:18:31.27\00:18:33.07
the second time.
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.44
They got the
prophecies mixed up,
00:18:34.48\00:18:35.81
and so they were deceived,
00:18:35.84\00:18:37.18
and many of them were not ready,
00:18:37.21\00:18:38.68
and many were lost,
00:18:38.71\00:18:40.25
because they didn't
understand how He was coming.
00:18:40.28\00:18:44.89
So do you wanna
know something about
00:18:44.92\00:18:46.39
how the Lord's coming?
00:18:46.42\00:18:48.22
You need to know
because the devil
00:18:48.26\00:18:49.59
is gonna
deceive a lot of people.
00:18:49.62\00:18:51.63
When Jesus was
brought up into heaven,
00:18:51.66\00:18:54.73
He spoke to the disciples
from the Mount of Olives,
00:18:54.76\00:18:56.90
He blessed them,
00:18:56.93\00:18:58.27
told them go preach
the gospel to the world,
00:18:58.30\00:19:00.20
and while they
watched He was taken up,
00:19:00.24\00:19:03.04
and the clouds
received Him out of their sight.
00:19:03.07\00:19:06.78
The Bible says, "And behold,
00:19:06.81\00:19:08.14
two men stood by
them in white apparel."
00:19:08.18\00:19:10.81
That's Acts 1:17.
00:19:10.85\00:19:12.18
Who were these two men?
00:19:12.21\00:19:13.55
Angels. Angels.
00:19:13.58\00:19:15.12
"Who said, 'Men of Galilee,
00:19:15.15\00:19:16.55
why do you stand
gazing up into heaven?'
00:19:16.58\00:19:18.32
" When Jesus
went up in the clouds,
00:19:18.35\00:19:19.69
they just stood there.
00:19:19.72\00:19:21.22
And they kept
looking and looking.
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.73
And the angels were
suddenly there and they say,
00:19:23.76\00:19:25.16
"Why do you keep
gazing up into the heavens?
00:19:25.19\00:19:27.60
This same Jesus,
00:19:27.63\00:19:29.30
who was taken up
from you into heaven,
00:19:29.33\00:19:31.53
will come as you saw Him go."
00:19:31.57\00:19:34.07
He was real when He left,
00:19:34.10\00:19:35.44
He's gonna be real when He come.
00:19:35.47\00:19:36.91
He left in the clouds,
He's gonna come in the clouds.
00:19:36.94\00:19:41.08
It's clouds of glory and angels.
00:19:41.11\00:19:45.71
Will we be able to
see Jesus when He comes?
00:19:45.75\00:19:48.45
Or is Christ coming secretly?
00:19:48.48\00:19:52.42
Now this is why it's so
important to understand,
00:19:52.45\00:19:55.19
some churches teach
00:19:55.22\00:19:56.89
that when Jesus comes
it's going to be a secret.
00:19:56.93\00:19:59.66
That you'll be driving
down the road with grandma,
00:19:59.69\00:20:02.76
and if grandma's a
Christian and maybe you're not,
00:20:02.80\00:20:05.20
grandma disappear,
00:20:05.23\00:20:06.57
then your car's
gonna run off the road.
00:20:06.60\00:20:08.87
Or if you're in an airplane
and the pilot's a Christian
00:20:08.90\00:20:11.87
and some people
aren't, the pilot disappears
00:20:11.91\00:20:13.71
and the planes gonna
start going on autopilot.
00:20:13.74\00:20:17.08
They think that people
are just gonna disappear.
00:20:17.11\00:20:18.91
Now I believe, they
call this the rapture,
00:20:18.95\00:20:21.22
but they're usually talking
about the secret rapture,
00:20:21.25\00:20:23.35
rapture means
that will be caught up
00:20:23.39\00:20:25.65
by the power of the Lord.
00:20:25.69\00:20:27.79
But the rapture is
not going to be a secret,
00:20:27.82\00:20:29.96
people are gonna see it.
00:20:29.99\00:20:31.79
It says in the Bible,
"Therefore if they say to you,
00:20:31.83\00:20:34.60
'He is in the desert!'
00:20:34.63\00:20:35.96
do not go out, or 'Look,
He is in the inner rooms!'
00:20:36.00\00:20:39.10
do not believe it."
00:20:39.13\00:20:40.70
For the Bible says,
00:20:40.74\00:20:42.07
"As lightning
comes from the east
00:20:42.10\00:20:44.21
and flashes to the west,
00:20:44.24\00:20:45.91
so will the coming
of the Son of Man be."
00:20:45.94\00:20:48.48
I need a volunteer.
00:20:48.51\00:20:50.51
Okay, let's see here.
00:20:50.55\00:20:53.01
I can come back down here.
00:20:53.05\00:20:54.88
I know, I don't wanna
ignore the guys on the front
00:20:54.92\00:20:56.85
but I feel like
I'm missing out...
00:20:56.89\00:20:58.45
All right. Young
lady, you right here.
00:20:58.49\00:20:59.82
Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:59.85\00:21:01.19
Well, I'll take two.
Let's get a boy from over here.
00:21:01.22\00:21:02.62
I can come up.
00:21:02.66\00:21:04.69
You haven't been up, okay.
00:21:04.73\00:21:06.06
Since you asked,
ask and you'll receive.
00:21:06.09\00:21:08.43
Look in the chest
there and one of you look,
00:21:08.46\00:21:10.70
just get one thing.
00:21:10.73\00:21:12.07
You're gonna see something
looks like a black radar gun.
00:21:12.10\00:21:15.27
You wanna get that?
00:21:15.30\00:21:16.64
Pull that out,
bring it over here.
00:21:16.67\00:21:18.57
Don't worry about
shutting it. That's okay.
00:21:18.61\00:21:20.68
All right.
00:21:20.71\00:21:23.28
Now, why don't
you close your eyes?
00:21:23.31\00:21:26.51
All right. Do you trust me?
00:21:30.22\00:21:31.55
Mm-Hmm.
00:21:31.59\00:21:33.56
You see something?
00:21:33.59\00:21:35.19
I just saw a yellow.
00:21:35.22\00:21:37.09
You saw yellow.
00:21:37.13\00:21:38.59
Your eyes were
closed, how did you see it?
00:21:38.63\00:21:40.16
Because it went
through my eyelids.
00:21:40.20\00:21:41.96
It's so bright you can
see it through your eyelids?
00:21:42.00\00:21:43.80
Yeah.
00:21:43.83\00:21:45.47
Now I'm not sure
if I can see again.
00:21:45.50\00:21:47.47
Now I can't see again.
00:21:47.50\00:21:49.87
All right, you want
to take that and try it?
00:21:49.90\00:21:51.67
Try it for your
friends out, see if they...
00:21:51.71\00:21:53.24
You guys all close your eyes.
00:21:53.27\00:21:55.48
You can get them in the face.
00:21:55.51\00:21:56.85
Try and get everybody.
00:21:56.88\00:21:58.21
Yeah.
00:21:58.25\00:21:59.58
Go, yeah.
00:21:59.61\00:22:01.02
Try it, let the camera see it.
00:22:01.05\00:22:03.52
Go ahead, this group over here.
00:22:03.55\00:22:05.05
Can you all see it? Yeah.
00:22:05.09\00:22:06.49
Oh, now she's holding
it down so it's strobing.
00:22:06.52\00:22:09.32
That was fun.
00:22:09.36\00:22:10.69
This is a hunting light.
00:22:10.73\00:22:12.43
This is a mild one.
00:22:12.46\00:22:14.46
They've got them
that are so bright
00:22:14.50\00:22:15.96
that if you put your
hands over your eyes,
00:22:16.00\00:22:20.30
and you close your
eyes, you can still see it.
00:22:20.34\00:22:23.74
Did you guys know that
00:22:23.77\00:22:25.11
when there's
real bright lightning?
00:22:25.14\00:22:27.21
Any of you ever
been in a lightning storm
00:22:27.24\00:22:28.71
and you're little scared?
00:22:28.74\00:22:30.08
Yes.
00:22:30.11\00:22:31.45
And you close your eyes,
00:22:31.48\00:22:33.38
and you can put your
head under your blanket,
00:22:33.42\00:22:35.62
and can you still tell
when the lightning flashes?
00:22:35.65\00:22:38.49
Yes.
00:22:38.52\00:22:39.85
It's so bright,
the brightest light
00:22:39.89\00:22:41.22
that they had back
then was lightning.
00:22:41.26\00:22:43.66
And Jesus said,
when He comes again,
00:22:43.69\00:22:45.79
it'll be like lightning.
00:22:45.83\00:22:47.16
What kind of lightning?
00:22:47.20\00:22:48.93
It's the lightning that shines
from the east to the west.
00:22:48.96\00:22:53.70
Did you all see that?
00:22:53.74\00:22:55.07
Yeah.
00:22:55.10\00:22:57.24
The coming of the Lord
is gonna be that bright.
00:22:57.27\00:22:59.24
Thank you, very much.
Let's give them a hand.
00:22:59.27\00:23:01.38
Great, I appreciate that.
00:23:01.41\00:23:04.55
Hi, friends,
00:23:04.58\00:23:05.91
you know, the
most important decision
00:23:05.95\00:23:07.28
a young person can
make is that decision
00:23:07.32\00:23:09.38
to follow Jesus and begin that
amazing adventure to eternity.
00:23:09.42\00:23:13.59

like heaven, hell,

and how to be
ready for Jesus coming.
00:23:51.56\00:23:54.63

most exciting thing

00:24:25.66\00:24:28.93
It says, He's
coming with the clouds.
00:24:34.87\00:24:36.50
We already talked about that.
How many people will see Him?
00:24:36.54\00:24:40.54
Is it just a few
people there already
00:24:40.58\00:24:42.78
or will everybody
see Him when He's ready?
00:24:42.81\00:24:47.68
So Jesus comes
again it'll be bright,
00:24:47.72\00:24:51.75
every eye will see Him,
00:24:51.79\00:24:53.66
not only will
every eye see Him...
00:24:53.69\00:24:57.79
I need a volunteer.
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.40
All right.
00:25:00.43\00:25:01.76
Let me see, I'll get
two again. I'll come down.
00:25:01.80\00:25:06.47
All right.
00:25:06.50\00:25:07.84
So you come up
here, there you go.
00:25:07.87\00:25:09.64
You can, come on.
00:25:09.67\00:25:11.31
Well, what's your name?
00:25:16.41\00:25:18.41
Couldn't hear you. Annabelle.
00:25:18.45\00:25:19.78
Annabelle. And you are?
00:25:19.81\00:25:21.18
Enoch. Enoch, right.
00:25:21.22\00:25:22.55
Enoch, see if you can
find something from the ocean
00:25:22.58\00:25:24.49
in the treasure chest there.
00:25:24.52\00:25:25.85
Okay.
00:25:28.86\00:25:30.86
Now, you know what this is?
00:25:30.89\00:25:32.29
Shell.
00:25:32.33\00:25:33.66
Yeah, I found this by accident
driving once on an island.
00:25:33.70\00:25:36.67
I won't tell you where.
00:25:36.70\00:25:38.27
And what do they say
00:25:38.30\00:25:39.63
when you put
your ear to a shell,
00:25:39.67\00:25:41.00
what's supposed to happen?
00:25:41.04\00:25:42.37
You can hear the ocean.
00:25:42.40\00:25:43.97
Can you hear the ocean?
00:25:44.01\00:25:46.51
You do hear the ocean, yeah.
00:25:46.54\00:25:47.88
You hear kind of an echo
when you listen to that, okay?
00:25:47.91\00:25:51.25
You wanna hear?
00:25:51.28\00:25:52.91
See if you can hear something.
00:25:52.95\00:25:55.68
Can you hear hum
a little bit, right?
00:25:55.72\00:25:58.09
Okay, now I want
you to plug your ears.
00:25:58.12\00:26:01.66
Come on over here. No,
I don't bite very hard.
00:26:01.69\00:26:04.43
All right.
00:26:04.46\00:26:05.79
This is not just
an ordinary shell.
00:26:05.83\00:26:09.80
Put your fingers in your ears.
00:26:09.83\00:26:11.33
Did you hear that?
00:26:18.27\00:26:19.61
Now cover both
of your ears again,
00:26:19.64\00:26:21.34
you come over
here, she doesn't mind.
00:26:21.38\00:26:22.71
You put your hands
over her ears, also,
00:26:22.74\00:26:25.81
you get double coverage.
00:26:25.85\00:26:27.82
These are little
noise cancelling headphones.
00:26:27.85\00:26:29.38
Did you hear that? All right.
00:26:33.46\00:26:35.59
You know not only will
you see when Jesus comes,
00:26:35.62\00:26:38.53
the Bible says, you
gonna hear when Jesus comes.
00:26:38.56\00:26:41.50
Yeah, I didn't know
there was a trumpet also.
00:26:41.53\00:26:43.87
All right, thank you very
much. Let's give them a hand.
00:26:43.90\00:26:46.77
Okay.
00:26:46.80\00:26:48.14
Let's look at
this next verse here.
00:26:52.44\00:26:55.04
It says, "For the Lord
Himself will descend from heaven
00:26:55.08\00:26:57.61
with a shout."
00:26:57.65\00:26:59.68
What?
00:26:59.71\00:27:01.05
I wonder how loud if
we all shouted together
00:27:01.08\00:27:05.19
at the same time, if
I asked you to all say,
00:27:05.22\00:27:08.96
"Amen," when I count to three,
00:27:08.99\00:27:11.43
I wonder if
they'd hear next door
00:27:11.46\00:27:13.36
where the adults are meeting.
00:27:13.40\00:27:15.40
Let's try then.
00:27:15.43\00:27:16.77
All right. You
got to do it one time.
00:27:16.80\00:27:19.60
When I say it, one
time, I just wanna hear amen.
00:27:19.63\00:27:23.84
I'll count to three. Okay?
00:27:23.87\00:27:25.21
Amen.
00:27:25.24\00:27:26.57
And then you got to
be real quiet afterward.
00:27:26.61\00:27:27.94
Ready?
00:27:27.98\00:27:29.31
Here, this is your chance.
00:27:29.34\00:27:30.78
One, two, three.
00:27:30.81\00:27:33.65
Amen!
00:27:33.68\00:27:35.62
Okay.
00:27:40.89\00:27:42.22
So now was that loud?
00:27:42.26\00:27:43.73
Yeah.
00:27:43.76\00:27:45.29
Okay.
00:27:45.33\00:27:47.06
Now settle down.
00:27:47.10\00:27:48.43
Now the Bible says,
"The Lord is coming."
00:27:48.46\00:27:51.30
Do you think you're
louder than the Lord?
00:27:51.33\00:27:53.57
No!
00:27:53.60\00:27:54.94
When the Lord comes with a shout
00:27:54.97\00:27:56.77
and with a
trumpet, will people know?
00:27:56.81\00:27:58.64
Yes!
00:27:58.67\00:28:00.01
When it's as bright as
lightning from side to side,
00:28:00.04\00:28:02.44
everyone will know.
00:28:02.48\00:28:03.81
Remember, when Jesus came,
00:28:03.85\00:28:05.18
the first time
He came as a baby,
00:28:05.21\00:28:06.55
He came like what?
00:28:06.58\00:28:07.92
A lamb.
00:28:07.95\00:28:09.28
Quietly, meekly,
at night in a manger,
00:28:09.32\00:28:13.32
almost nobody knew.
00:28:13.36\00:28:15.09
When He comes a second
time, He's coming like a lion,
00:28:15.12\00:28:18.89
like a king with a
shout, with a trumpet,
00:28:18.93\00:28:22.43
with light, it is not a secret.
00:28:22.46\00:28:24.73
Now why does the devil want
00:28:24.77\00:28:26.30
people to think
He's coming quietly?
00:28:26.33\00:28:28.50
Because Satan is
going to impersonate
00:28:28.54\00:28:31.57
Jesus' Second Coming.
00:28:31.61\00:28:35.04
If you know that Jesus
is coming in the clouds,
00:28:35.08\00:28:37.85
Satan's not
gonna impersonate that.
00:28:37.88\00:28:39.21
If you know He's coming with
lightning from the sky to sky
00:28:39.25\00:28:42.28
with a shout and all the angels.
00:28:42.32\00:28:44.29
He won't be able to come.
00:28:44.32\00:28:45.65
But you might be
thinking, Pastor Doug,
00:28:45.69\00:28:48.32
doesn't the Bible say that
Jesus is coming like a thief?
00:28:48.36\00:28:51.89
It does.
00:28:51.93\00:28:53.33
Some people think
He comes like a thief.
00:28:53.36\00:28:55.43
He steals away
all the saved people.
00:28:55.46\00:28:58.00
And then life goes
on for seven more years.
00:28:58.03\00:29:01.10
But let's read
what the Bible says,
00:29:01.14\00:29:03.04
when it says He's
coming like a thief.
00:29:03.07\00:29:05.24
2 Peter 3:10,
00:29:05.27\00:29:07.64
"The day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night."
00:29:07.68\00:29:12.48
Now what happens on the
day when the Lord comes?
00:29:12.51\00:29:14.88
"In which the heavens
pass away with a great,"
00:29:14.92\00:29:17.45
there's that "noise" again,
00:29:17.49\00:29:19.59
"and the elements
melt with fervent heat
00:29:19.62\00:29:22.69
and both the earth and the works
00:29:22.72\00:29:24.76
that are in that are burned up."
00:29:24.79\00:29:26.59
Does it sound to you,
when Jesus comes like a thief?
00:29:26.63\00:29:28.86
Does it sound like life goes on?
00:29:28.90\00:29:30.60
No.
00:29:30.63\00:29:31.97
The whole world's burned
up when He comes like a thief.
00:29:32.00\00:29:34.24
So when people tell you
00:29:34.27\00:29:35.60
Jesus is gonna take
some folks away secretly,
00:29:35.64\00:29:37.71
the Bible doesn't teach that.
00:29:37.74\00:29:39.51
You're not gonna read
about the Second Coming
00:29:39.54\00:29:41.64
in the newspaper the next day.
00:29:41.68\00:29:43.68
You're not gonna have a friend
call you on the phone and say,
00:29:43.71\00:29:46.41
"Hey, did you hear?"
00:29:46.45\00:29:48.05
Or they gonna text you,
and say, "Did you catch that?
00:29:48.08\00:29:49.72
Well, our Jesus just came."
00:29:49.75\00:29:52.15
No.
00:29:52.19\00:29:53.52
When He comes, the
whole world will know.
00:29:53.56\00:29:56.96
Who is gonna be
with Jesus when He comes?
00:29:56.99\00:30:00.20
Matthew 25.
00:30:00.23\00:30:01.66
Let me read it to you.
00:30:01.70\00:30:03.10
"When the Son of
Man comes in His glory,"
00:30:03.13\00:30:04.97
and how many angels?
00:30:05.00\00:30:07.04
"All the holy angels with Him."
00:30:07.07\00:30:10.27
You know, the Bible tells us
00:30:10.31\00:30:11.64
that there were
one or two angels
00:30:11.67\00:30:13.01
at the resurrection.
00:30:13.04\00:30:14.38
One angel threw away the stone,
00:30:14.41\00:30:15.74
two angels
appeared to the ladies.
00:30:15.78\00:30:17.11
But the power of that
angel scared a bunch of guards,
00:30:17.15\00:30:20.55
they fell down
like they were dead
00:30:20.58\00:30:22.35
from the glory of one angel.
00:30:22.38\00:30:24.22
Can you imagine?
00:30:24.25\00:30:25.59
You know, the Bible tells
us that one angel of the Lord
00:30:25.62\00:30:27.36
went out to the Assyrian army.
00:30:27.39\00:30:29.39
One angel killed 185,000 enemies
00:30:29.42\00:30:34.03
in one night, one angel.
00:30:34.06\00:30:36.10
Can you imagine
when the Lord comes
00:30:36.13\00:30:37.67
with billions of
angels, how bright that will be?
00:30:37.70\00:30:41.60
It says, "He
will send His angels
00:30:41.64\00:30:42.97
with the sound
of a great trumpet,"
00:30:43.00\00:30:44.34
there's that trumpet again,
00:30:44.37\00:30:45.87
"and they will gather together
His elect from the four winds,"
00:30:45.91\00:30:48.74
that means north,
south, east, west.
00:30:48.78\00:30:51.41
"From the four winds of heaven,
00:30:51.45\00:30:53.52
from one end of
heaven to the other."
00:30:53.55\00:30:55.38
Bible says,
00:30:55.42\00:30:56.75
"When the Lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven
00:30:56.79\00:30:59.09
with His mighty
angels in flaming fire."
00:30:59.12\00:31:02.86
This is 2 Thessalonians 1:7,
00:31:02.89\00:31:04.99
"Taking vengeance on
those who do not know God,
00:31:05.03\00:31:08.06
and on those who do not obey."
00:31:08.10\00:31:09.63
What's gonna happen
to those who don't obey?
00:31:09.66\00:31:12.00
Those angels are gonna
also come and take vengeance.
00:31:12.03\00:31:15.67
If you're not saved,
taking vengeance on those
00:31:15.70\00:31:18.51
who do not obey
our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:31:18.54\00:31:22.04
And so you need to be ready,
00:31:22.08\00:31:23.85
as I mentioned that one angel
00:31:23.88\00:31:26.15
scared all of those
soldiers at the resurrection.
00:31:26.18\00:31:29.68
Jesus said, 1
Thessalonians 4:16.
00:31:29.72\00:31:32.59
"For the Lord Himself,"
Paul actually writes this,
00:31:32.62\00:31:35.16
"For the Lord Himself
00:31:35.19\00:31:36.52
will descend from
heaven with a shout,
00:31:36.56\00:31:38.36
with the voice of the archangel,
00:31:38.39\00:31:40.13
with the trumpet of God."
00:31:40.16\00:31:41.83
And what else
happens when He comes?
00:31:41.86\00:31:44.03
There's a resurrection,
everything is happening
00:31:44.07\00:31:46.33
when He comes at one time.
00:31:46.37\00:31:48.34
"The dead in
Christ will rise first.
00:31:48.37\00:31:51.01
Then we who are
alive, and if you're young,
00:31:51.04\00:31:53.44
when Jesus comes
and you're alive,
00:31:53.48\00:31:55.31
you get a
glorified body, a young body.
00:31:55.34\00:31:58.35
We who are alive and remain
will be caught up together
00:31:58.38\00:32:00.72
with Him in the clouds.
00:32:00.75\00:32:02.55
So you're gonna
get to go through
00:32:02.58\00:32:03.92
the stars in the clouds,
00:32:03.95\00:32:05.35
to meet the Lord in the air,"
that's His clouds of angels,
00:32:05.39\00:32:08.49
"and thus we will
always be with the Lord.
00:32:08.52\00:32:11.83
Now, tell me if it looks
like it's a secret to you?
00:32:11.86\00:32:14.70
The Bible says, one,
His coming is literal.
00:32:14.73\00:32:18.10
He left, He was real,
He was talking to Him.
00:32:18.13\00:32:20.24
The angel said He's
coming the same way.
00:32:20.27\00:32:23.17
He left, He was
personal, they knew Him.
00:32:23.20\00:32:27.24
Some people say
Jesus came spiritually.
00:32:27.28\00:32:29.68
It's such a
spiritual, it's very physical.
00:32:29.71\00:32:31.91
He was visible,
00:32:31.95\00:32:33.38
He will be
visible when He comes.
00:32:33.42\00:32:34.75
He left in the clouds,
He's coming in the clouds.
00:32:34.78\00:32:36.92
It was audible,
00:32:36.95\00:32:38.29
they could hear
Him speak when He left.
00:32:38.32\00:32:40.09
He's coming with a
shout and a trumpet,
00:32:40.12\00:32:42.12
the Bible says, in a roar.
00:32:42.16\00:32:44.73
It's physical.
00:32:44.76\00:32:46.09
The Bible says,
there's an earthquake
00:32:46.13\00:32:47.46
when Jesus comes.
00:32:47.50\00:32:48.83
Every island and mountain
is gonna be swallowed up
00:32:48.86\00:32:52.10
and shaken.
00:32:52.13\00:32:53.47
It's gonna be vitalizing,
00:32:53.50\00:32:54.84
there's a
resurrection when He comes.
00:32:54.87\00:32:57.17
It's gonna be glorious.
00:32:57.21\00:32:58.54
Angels are full of...
00:32:58.57\00:32:59.91
These heavens are full of
light and angels and glory,
00:32:59.94\00:33:02.58
it's like lightning, and
it's going to be climatic,
00:33:02.61\00:33:05.11
it's a great climax of history.
00:33:05.15\00:33:06.92
It's called the day of the Lord.
00:33:06.95\00:33:09.42
So if you hear these stories
about Jesus coming secretly
00:33:09.45\00:33:12.49
and snatching away a few people,
00:33:12.52\00:33:14.66
that's what the
devil wants folks to think.
00:33:14.69\00:33:16.79
So they won't be ready
when the real thing happens
00:33:16.83\00:33:19.93
because Satan plans on
impersonating Jesus' coming.
00:33:19.96\00:33:23.87
You see, many churches teach,
they believe Jesus is coming.
00:33:23.90\00:33:28.64
But they say, "Yeah,
it's gonna be secret rapture."
00:33:28.67\00:33:30.77
I know this man and
his wife's a Christian.
00:33:30.81\00:33:33.38
She believes that
Jesus is coming secretly.
00:33:33.41\00:33:36.54
And the life is gonna
go on for seven more years
00:33:36.58\00:33:38.61
and he'll get another chance.
00:33:38.65\00:33:41.85
Well, there is no second chance.
00:33:41.88\00:33:44.25
The devil wants people to
think don't get ready now.
00:33:44.29\00:33:47.19
If all the Christians disappear,
00:33:47.22\00:33:49.02
then you'll
know the Bible's true
00:33:49.06\00:33:50.39
and then you get ready.
00:33:50.43\00:33:51.76
The devil's trying
to trick a lot of folks.
00:33:51.79\00:33:53.80
That man says, "Well,
if my wife disappears,
00:33:53.83\00:33:55.83
then I guess
she's telling the truth.
00:33:55.86\00:33:57.23
Then I'll get ready."
00:33:57.27\00:33:59.17
But you see,
it'll be too late them.
00:33:59.20\00:34:01.44
So the devil's trying to
deceive a lot of the world,
00:34:01.47\00:34:03.97
even in the church
about how He's coming.
00:34:04.01\00:34:06.88
We know He is coming.
00:34:06.91\00:34:08.31
He promised He'd
come the first time
00:34:08.34\00:34:09.81
as our sacrifice,
and He did, didn't He?
00:34:09.84\00:34:12.71
Let me tell you something, just,
00:34:12.75\00:34:14.08
I think you'll find interesting.
00:34:14.12\00:34:16.35
God made Adam, just
about 6000 years ago.
00:34:16.38\00:34:20.86
And then you've got
6000 years approximately
00:34:20.89\00:34:25.13
from the time of
Adam to where we are,
00:34:25.16\00:34:27.80
when you look at
the ages in the Bible.
00:34:27.83\00:34:29.90
Then God says, "We're
going to spend 1000 years
00:34:29.93\00:34:32.13
living and reigning with
Jesus during the millennium."
00:34:32.17\00:34:34.40
Millennium means 1000 years.
00:34:34.44\00:34:37.11
And then Peter says,
00:34:37.14\00:34:38.47
"A day with the
Lord is like 1000 years."
00:34:38.51\00:34:40.84
So it's like
you've got Adam back here,
00:34:40.88\00:34:43.68
and you've got
1000, 2000, Abraham,
00:34:43.71\00:34:49.35
3000, 4000, Jesus was born,
00:34:49.38\00:34:53.46
5000, 6000,
00:34:53.49\00:34:55.86
and then we have 1000
year Sabbath with the Lord.
00:34:55.89\00:34:59.56
It's 2000 years
from Adam to Abraham,
00:34:59.59\00:35:03.20
2000 years from
Abraham to Jesus,
00:35:03.23\00:35:06.60
and it's probably
pretty close to 2000 years
00:35:06.63\00:35:08.90
from Jesus' first
coming to a second coming.
00:35:08.94\00:35:10.71
We are living on Friday
evening of the Second Coming.
00:35:10.74\00:35:16.51
His coming is very near
00:35:16.54\00:35:18.11
and He's got a big
plan for your life.
00:35:18.15\00:35:19.68
And He wants you to
surrender your hearts to Him.
00:35:19.71\00:35:22.05
So you can do His
will for your life.
00:35:22.08\00:35:24.69
He won't force you, you
must invite Him to come in.
00:35:24.72\00:35:28.22
So will everybody go with
Jesus to heaven when He comes?
00:35:28.26\00:35:30.99
No.
00:35:31.03\00:35:32.36
Very sad, but no.
00:35:32.39\00:35:33.73
Most people don't go.
00:35:33.76\00:35:35.13
I wish it was the
majority, but Jesus said,
00:35:35.16\00:35:38.13
"Strait is the gate
and narrow is the way
00:35:38.17\00:35:40.90
that leads to life and a
few there be that find it."
00:35:40.94\00:35:44.01
Broad is the way
and wide is the gate
00:35:44.04\00:35:47.21
that goes to destruction.
00:35:47.24\00:35:49.31
A lot of people want to go
down that road to destruction,
00:35:49.34\00:35:52.65
many there are,
people they don't wanna...
00:35:52.68\00:35:56.05
They're waiting, they say,
"Oh, later, I'll turn to Jesus.
00:35:56.08\00:35:58.25
I want to do what my
friends are gonna do."
00:35:58.29\00:36:00.22
You need to make
your own decision.
00:36:00.26\00:36:02.49
Jesus said, "That
the wicked will declare,
00:36:02.52\00:36:05.36
for the rocks,
they'll pray for the rocks
00:36:05.39\00:36:07.13
and the
mountains to fall on them
00:36:07.16\00:36:08.50
and hide them
from the face of Him
00:36:08.53\00:36:10.63
who sits on the throne.
00:36:10.67\00:36:13.13
They're gonna run from
the glory of His coming.
00:36:13.17\00:36:15.27
With the breath of his
lips He will slay the wicked.
00:36:15.30\00:36:18.37
I used to play a game
when I lived in New York City,
00:36:18.41\00:36:21.04
sometimes we had
problems with cockroaches.
00:36:21.08\00:36:24.58
They're all over the city,
00:36:24.61\00:36:25.95
and I've been to some countries.
00:36:25.98\00:36:27.32
The cockroaches
come out in the day
00:36:27.35\00:36:28.68
or they come out in the night.
00:36:28.72\00:36:30.05
Night.
00:36:30.09\00:36:31.42
And so my friends and I,
00:36:31.45\00:36:32.79
we would sneak
into a room at night
00:36:32.82\00:36:35.92
and we turn on the lights
00:36:35.96\00:36:37.29
and we see the
cockroaches everywhere
00:36:37.33\00:36:38.66
and we try to surround them.
00:36:38.69\00:36:40.06
If we shine the light at them,
they all run from the light.
00:36:40.10\00:36:43.77
But what happens at night
00:36:43.80\00:36:45.33
if you shine a light in
the summer up in the sky,
00:36:45.37\00:36:49.24
cockroaches run from
the light on the ground,
00:36:49.27\00:36:51.07
but as you shined it in the sky,
00:36:51.11\00:36:52.57
the moths will
come to the light.
00:36:52.61\00:36:55.28
Same light,
00:36:55.31\00:36:56.64
but some are
cockroaches and some are moths.
00:36:59.28\00:37:01.75
When Jesus comes, the
cockroaches are gonna run,
00:37:01.78\00:37:05.59
and the moths are gonna come.
00:37:05.62\00:37:08.36
Are you gonna want to be
excited about Jesus' coming?
00:37:08.39\00:37:10.86
You can be a month,
you're gonna go to the light,
00:37:10.89\00:37:12.36
you'll be happy.
00:37:12.39\00:37:13.73
Those who have
sin in their hearts,
00:37:13.76\00:37:15.13
they're gonna run.
00:37:15.16\00:37:16.87
Jesus said,
"Behold, I come quickly,
00:37:16.90\00:37:19.43
and My reward is with
Me to give to every man
00:37:19.47\00:37:22.30
according as his works will be."
00:37:22.34\00:37:24.01
Everyone's gonna be
judged when He comes.
00:37:24.04\00:37:27.28
Now, what are some of
the signs of Jesus' coming
00:37:27.31\00:37:28.74
that He gives us?
00:37:28.78\00:37:30.11
I'm gonna go
through several signs here.
00:37:30.15\00:37:31.48
Now listen.
00:37:31.51\00:37:32.85
You wanna know
how soon He's coming?
00:37:32.88\00:37:34.22
No man knows the
exact date of His coming.
00:37:34.25\00:37:36.15
If someone says, I've
got the date of His coming.
00:37:36.18\00:37:38.29
I know the year of His coming.
00:37:38.32\00:37:39.95
I'd stay away from that person.
00:37:39.99\00:37:41.42
The Bible is very clear
00:37:41.46\00:37:42.89
that nobody knows the day
and the hour of Jesus' coming.
00:37:42.92\00:37:46.39
Christ said when He
sat on the Mount of Olives,
00:37:46.43\00:37:48.46
the disciples
came to Him privately,
00:37:48.50\00:37:50.30
they said, "Tell us,
00:37:50.33\00:37:52.53
what will be the
signs of Your coming
00:37:52.57\00:37:55.34
and the end of the
world, the end of the age?
00:37:55.37\00:37:59.07
And so the answer to that is,
00:37:59.11\00:38:01.14
I'm gonna give you
several answers now.
00:38:01.18\00:38:03.75
A, there'll be false prophets,
00:38:03.78\00:38:06.65
Jesus calls them
wolves in sheep's clothing.
00:38:06.68\00:38:09.95
You cannot believe
everybody out there that says
00:38:09.98\00:38:12.25
they're preacher, they're
not all teaching from the Bible.
00:38:12.29\00:38:15.76
So you need to be on your guard.
00:38:15.79\00:38:17.79
Christ said, "There'll
be many false prophets,
00:38:17.83\00:38:20.23
they'll rise and
they will deceive many."
00:38:20.26\00:38:23.47
You know, what an illusion
is, an optical illusion?
00:38:23.50\00:38:25.17
Yes.
00:38:25.20\00:38:26.53
I want you to look at
what I got on the screen here.
00:38:26.57\00:38:27.90
You see that box with
the intersecting lines.
00:38:27.94\00:38:30.11
How many of you
can see the black dots?
00:38:30.14\00:38:31.71
To know, there actually
are no black dots up there,
00:38:36.34\00:38:38.58
but if you stare
at that long enough,
00:38:38.61\00:38:39.95
you'll think that the white dots
00:38:39.98\00:38:41.32
are surrounded by black
dots, but they are not there.
00:38:41.35\00:38:44.02
It's an optical illusion.
00:38:44.05\00:38:45.79
Can the devil create illusions?
00:38:45.82\00:38:47.86
Yes.
00:38:47.89\00:38:49.22
You got to be very careful
what you watch on television,
00:38:49.26\00:38:53.80
and what you watch on
your phones or your iPads.
00:38:53.83\00:38:57.80
You know, how you
hypnotize a person?
00:38:57.83\00:39:00.54
Through the optic nerve,
00:39:00.57\00:39:01.90
that's the eyes in
the auditory nerve,
00:39:01.94\00:39:03.34
that's the ears.
00:39:03.37\00:39:04.97
Through a certain
rhythms and suggestions,
00:39:05.01\00:39:07.81
the devil can hypnotize people.
00:39:07.84\00:39:10.05
And so you got to be
careful what you're watching
00:39:10.08\00:39:12.95
because sometimes the
devil can create illusions
00:39:12.98\00:39:15.72
and he can deceive people.
00:39:15.75\00:39:17.09
The Bible says,
"They'll be many false christs
00:39:17.12\00:39:19.85
through history,
they've been several people
00:39:19.89\00:39:21.39
that said they were Jesus."
00:39:21.42\00:39:23.12
I'll tell you a quick story.
00:39:23.16\00:39:25.96
Jesus says, Matthew 24,
00:39:25.99\00:39:27.33
"If they say He's in the desert,
00:39:27.36\00:39:29.63
go not forth."
00:39:29.66\00:39:31.43
I lived in the desert,
00:39:31.47\00:39:33.50
in a cave by myself
up in the mountains.
00:39:33.54\00:39:37.17
Some of you heard my
story right first night.
00:39:37.21\00:39:41.44
I live like that for
about a year and a half.
00:39:41.48\00:39:44.05
One day while I
was in my cave yard
00:39:44.08\00:39:45.98
doing something,
00:39:46.01\00:39:47.48
a hiker came into my yard.
00:39:47.52\00:39:50.49
He was a man
about six feet tall,
00:39:50.52\00:39:53.25
he had hair down
to his shoulders,
00:39:53.29\00:39:55.52
he's about 30 years old,
00:39:55.56\00:39:57.39
he had a beard,
a good looking man.
00:39:57.43\00:40:00.16
I said, "Hi."
00:40:00.20\00:40:01.53
I thought he was
just a hiker on the trail.
00:40:01.56\00:40:02.90
And I said, "Hi,
what's your name?"
00:40:02.93\00:40:04.67
He said, "I'm Jesus."
00:40:04.70\00:40:06.94
I said, "Oh, you
mean like Jesus?"
00:40:06.97\00:40:10.41
You know, I've
met some people...
00:40:10.44\00:40:12.14
I've got some Spanish friends
00:40:12.17\00:40:13.51
and they named their kids Jesus.
00:40:13.54\00:40:15.64
But that's how you say Jesus.
00:40:15.68\00:40:17.01
He said, "No, no.
00:40:17.05\00:40:18.38
I am Jesus."
00:40:18.41\00:40:19.88
Well, I had just
been reading the Bible.
00:40:19.91\00:40:21.48
I just had come to the
Lord, I was a baby Christian.
00:40:21.52\00:40:25.32
I said, "You mean, like,
00:40:25.35\00:40:27.16
you're saying that you're Jesus,
00:40:27.19\00:40:29.96
Jesus?"
00:40:29.99\00:40:31.36
"Yes."
00:40:31.39\00:40:33.56
I said, "I was a little scared,"
00:40:33.60\00:40:36.10
because I thought,
00:40:36.13\00:40:37.47
I'm up here
alone in the mountains,
00:40:37.50\00:40:38.83
that somebody that
says, "They're Jesus,"
00:40:38.87\00:40:40.20
they probably crazy.
00:40:40.24\00:40:41.94
And then I thought, he
looks a little like Jesus,
00:40:41.97\00:40:46.44
at least, the pictures I see.
00:40:46.47\00:40:48.78
I thought, well, if he is Jesus,
00:40:48.81\00:40:50.15
I don't wanna be rude
00:40:50.18\00:40:51.51
because that
would really be bad.
00:40:51.55\00:40:53.38
If I said, oh,
Jesus, you're a liar.
00:40:53.42\00:40:55.18
And he really was Jesus.
00:40:55.22\00:40:56.55
I mean, I didn't
know what to think.
00:40:56.58\00:40:58.09
And so I said, "But,
I thought in the Bible,
00:40:58.12\00:41:02.59
it said, that when you
come, everybody's gonna see you,
00:41:02.62\00:41:06.66
and it's going to
be like lightning."
00:41:06.70\00:41:08.16
He said, "Well,
that's when I come
00:41:08.20\00:41:09.53
for everybody in the
world, but I'm coming
00:41:09.56\00:41:12.13
for certain
special people privately."
00:41:12.17\00:41:17.14
And he seemed to know his Bible.
00:41:17.17\00:41:19.11
Whenever I'd say something,
00:41:19.14\00:41:20.48
he said, well, the
Bible says this about...
00:41:20.51\00:41:22.11
And he was quoting
and misquoting the Bible.
00:41:22.14\00:41:24.35
I didn't know the
Bible that well back then.
00:41:24.38\00:41:27.02
And he stayed with me.
00:41:27.05\00:41:29.75
And I thought, well,
00:41:29.78\00:41:31.12
I know this is
gonna be very interesting.
00:41:31.15\00:41:32.59
He doesn't seem
like he's gonna hurt me,
00:41:32.62\00:41:35.02
but he said, he was Jesus.
00:41:35.06\00:41:36.39
And so I stayed with him
00:41:36.42\00:41:37.76
and I talked to
him about the Bible,
00:41:37.79\00:41:39.13
and I asked him questions,
00:41:39.16\00:41:40.50
but he stayed
with me for three days,
00:41:40.53\00:41:42.06
he ate all of my food.
00:41:42.10\00:41:44.13
He didn't do any work
and help me around the cave.
00:41:44.17\00:41:47.34
So finally, I had
to kick Jesus out.
00:41:47.37\00:41:49.07
Say, look, you gotta go.
00:41:49.10\00:41:51.74
A few days later, I
saw him down in town.
00:41:51.77\00:41:55.51
And he had found someone
that was following him around,
00:41:55.54\00:41:57.45
this tall hippy, he
said, "Oh, this is Jesus."
00:41:57.48\00:42:01.65
I said, "Oh, no."
00:42:01.68\00:42:04.12
And then a few
days later, I saw him
00:42:04.15\00:42:05.72
and he was
missing one of his teeth
00:42:05.75\00:42:07.69
because he had gotten in a fight
00:42:07.72\00:42:09.06
and someone knocked
out one of his teeth,
00:42:09.09\00:42:10.43
I thought, I
feel so much better.
00:42:10.46\00:42:12.76
Because I know Jesus
has all of his teeth.
00:42:12.79\00:42:14.73
And that for me was
proof that he was not Jesus.
00:42:14.76\00:42:18.03
But this was one person
00:42:18.07\00:42:19.40
who probably
used too many drugs,
00:42:19.43\00:42:20.77
he was not well, but
there's gonna be some people
00:42:20.80\00:42:22.94
in the last days
that are gonna say,
00:42:22.97\00:42:24.31
"They're Jesus,"
00:42:24.34\00:42:25.67
They're gonna
be very convincing.
00:42:25.71\00:42:28.14
The devil can
appear as an angel of light
00:42:28.18\00:42:31.91
and deceive people.
00:42:31.95\00:42:33.82
Hi, friends,
00:42:33.85\00:42:35.18
you know, the
most important decision
00:42:35.22\00:42:36.55
a young person can make
00:42:36.58\00:42:37.92
is that decision to
follow Jesus and begin
00:42:37.95\00:42:40.26
that amazing
adventure to eternity.
00:42:40.29\00:42:42.86
That's why we're so
excited to tell you about
00:42:42.89\00:42:44.59

do science experiments,
00:42:52.00\00:42:54.20
learn about history, nature,
encounter some wild animals,
00:42:54.24\00:42:57.67
and most of all,
they'll learn about Jesus
00:42:57.71\00:43:00.01
from the Word of God.
00:43:00.04\00:43:01.94
What's really neat
00:43:01.98\00:43:03.31
is there's a beautifully
illustrated Bible Study Guide
00:43:03.35\00:43:05.91

00:43:14.46\00:43:15.79
an incredible journey with Jesus
00:43:15.82\00:43:17.63
while they learn
about Bible doctrines
00:43:17.66\00:43:19.39
like heaven, hell,
00:43:19.43\00:43:20.76
and how to be
ready for Jesus coming.
00:43:20.80\00:43:23.87
And for me, the
most exciting thing
00:43:23.90\00:43:25.40
is this new
Amazing Adventure series
00:43:25.43\00:43:27.70

00:43:27.74\00:43:29.24
Adventure Bible.
00:43:29.27\00:43:30.61

00:43:32.17\00:43:35.88
special tools that
make studying the Bible,

fun and interesting.

00:43:54.96\00:43:58.13
Bible says,
00:44:04.17\00:44:05.51
"Not only will
there be false christs,
00:44:05.54\00:44:06.88
there's gonna be
wars and disasters."
00:44:06.91\00:44:08.71
Do we have war
in the world today?
00:44:08.74\00:44:10.25
Yes.
00:44:10.28\00:44:11.61
Are there
natural disasters? Yes.
00:44:11.65\00:44:13.31
Even in America, we've had
some terrible floods this year.
00:44:13.35\00:44:16.05
There's different
earthquakes that are happening.
00:44:16.08\00:44:17.79
They had volcanoes
destroying, they got mudslides,
00:44:17.82\00:44:20.69
they're having famine and floods
00:44:20.72\00:44:22.59
and it seems like these
things are happening more.
00:44:22.62\00:44:27.80
Some of you have any
little brothers or sisters.
00:44:27.83\00:44:30.37
Yeah.
00:44:30.40\00:44:31.73
Do any of you
remember when mom was pregnant
00:44:31.77\00:44:33.23
with little
brother or little sister?
00:44:33.27\00:44:35.37
Do you know what happens,
when a mom's gonna have a baby,
00:44:35.40\00:44:38.24
of course, the
baby starts to grow out,
00:44:38.27\00:44:39.94
she gets bed and
then she starts to walk
00:44:39.97\00:44:41.41
a little funny.
00:44:41.44\00:44:43.58
And then when and sometimes
she's got aches and pains,
00:44:43.61\00:44:46.18
her back hurts and
sometimes she feels contractions
00:44:46.21\00:44:48.48
and baby kicking or something,
you know, those little pains.
00:44:48.52\00:44:51.99
But then one day
she'll say to the dad,
00:44:52.02\00:44:54.16
"Ow, you better
get me to the doctor.
00:44:54.19\00:44:57.89
This is really hurting,
I'm having a contraction."
00:44:57.93\00:45:01.93
And dad's driving real
fast to get to the doctor
00:45:01.96\00:45:03.83
and she's going, "Ow,"
00:45:03.87\00:45:05.90
and they call the doctor
from the car and they say,
00:45:05.93\00:45:08.70
"My wife's in labor, get ready."
00:45:08.74\00:45:10.27
The doctor will say,
00:45:10.31\00:45:11.64
"How far apart
are the contractions?"
00:45:11.67\00:45:14.08
Because as the
pains get closer together,
00:45:14.11\00:45:17.71
and as they get more intense,
00:45:17.75\00:45:19.55
soon you got a baby,
that's how it happens.
00:45:19.58\00:45:23.28
You know, the Bible talks
about second coming that way.
00:45:23.32\00:45:25.69
It says that as we get near...
00:45:25.72\00:45:27.39
There always been wars,
00:45:27.42\00:45:28.76
they have always
been rumors of wars,
00:45:28.79\00:45:30.13
there's always
been natural disasters.
00:45:30.16\00:45:31.49
But as we get near the
end, in the last century,
00:45:31.53\00:45:34.13
we had two World Wars,
that never happened before.
00:45:34.16\00:45:37.33
Now we have nuclear weapons.
00:45:37.37\00:45:39.57
Now we're having
terrible disasters
00:45:39.60\00:45:41.24
like the tsunami where
they had 250,000 people died.
00:45:41.27\00:45:45.67
The earthquake in Haiti, where,
00:45:45.71\00:45:47.74
I think, it was
like 300,000 people...
00:45:47.78\00:45:49.38
They're just terrible tragedies
that are happening in the world
00:45:49.41\00:45:53.11
that tells us that
Jesus is coming soon.
00:45:53.15\00:45:58.95
One of the other signs
of Christ's coming again?
00:45:58.99\00:46:01.79
Knowledge will increase.
00:46:01.82\00:46:04.26
Oh, man, I got this cell phone.
00:46:04.29\00:46:07.16
It's a really smart smartphone.
00:46:07.20\00:46:11.17
And I can't
believe everything it does,
00:46:11.20\00:46:13.20
it's taken me a while to learn.
00:46:13.23\00:46:15.30
But I mean, I just
press a button and I'll say,
00:46:15.34\00:46:17.77
"Google,
00:46:17.81\00:46:19.14
how many stars
are in the galaxy?"
00:46:19.17\00:46:20.51
I did this today?
00:46:20.54\00:46:21.88
How many stars
are in the galaxy?
00:46:21.91\00:46:23.81
There are 200
billion to 250 billion...
00:46:23.85\00:46:26.98
I ask it any
question in the world,
00:46:27.02\00:46:28.98
it's like, I've
got all the knowledge.
00:46:29.02\00:46:30.59
It tells me where I
am. It's got a light on it.
00:46:30.62\00:46:32.89
It's got a camera on,
it's got a video player on it.
00:46:32.92\00:46:35.56
I can do 1000 different things
with this with a little box.
00:46:35.59\00:46:39.56
If I have the
Apostle Paul here today,
00:46:39.59\00:46:43.03
and I showed him my smartphone,
00:46:43.06\00:46:45.67
he'd think it
was demon possessed.
00:46:45.70\00:46:48.50
He would say, "What's that?"
00:46:48.54\00:46:51.57
I mean, really think about it.
00:46:51.61\00:46:53.48
Has knowledge increased a
lot in the last generation?
00:46:53.51\00:46:56.34
Yes.
00:46:56.38\00:46:57.71
My grandfather was born
in New York City at home,
00:46:57.75\00:47:00.42
by kerosene light.
00:47:00.45\00:47:02.18
When he was born
in New York City,
00:47:02.22\00:47:03.75
they drove horses
around New York City.
00:47:03.79\00:47:06.82
Look at how much things
have changed in one lifetime.
00:47:06.86\00:47:10.46
You're living in one
of the most exciting times
00:47:10.49\00:47:12.16
in the world's history.
00:47:12.19\00:47:13.53
The Bible says in
the Book of Daniel 12:4,
00:47:13.56\00:47:17.27
"But you, Daniel,
shut up the words,
00:47:17.30\00:47:19.13
and seal the book
until the time of the end,
00:47:19.17\00:47:22.10
for many will run to and fro,
and knowledge will increase."
00:47:22.14\00:47:27.84
People running to and fro,
00:47:27.88\00:47:29.51
are people traveling
faster today than before?
00:47:29.54\00:47:31.78
Yes.
00:47:31.81\00:47:33.15
You know, a few years ago,
00:47:33.18\00:47:34.58
if you wanted to get
from New York to California,
00:47:34.62\00:47:38.65
you had to go by
foot or horseback,
00:47:38.69\00:47:40.02
it could take you months.
00:47:40.06\00:47:42.52
And then they
started to get a train
00:47:42.56\00:47:43.93
and it would take you days.
00:47:43.96\00:47:46.19
And you get a car, you
can do it even quicker.
00:47:46.23\00:47:49.23
Now you can hop on a plane,
00:47:49.26\00:47:50.93
you know, the Boeing
has just developed a plane
00:47:50.97\00:47:53.30
that's gonna go
about 3000 miles an hour.
00:47:53.34\00:47:58.61
People are gonna be able
to go from New York to London
00:47:58.64\00:48:01.94
in two hours.
00:48:01.98\00:48:04.25
It's just incredible,
00:48:04.28\00:48:05.61
what's
happening with technology.
00:48:05.65\00:48:06.98
Look at all the inventions
in the last few years.
00:48:07.02\00:48:09.75
In one century, airplane,
automobile, radio, television,
00:48:09.78\00:48:14.19
smartphone, computer,
nuclear power, lasers,
00:48:14.22\00:48:16.56
penicillin, solar panels,
moon landing, hearing aids,
00:48:16.59\00:48:20.56
I need pretty soon,
pacemakers, microwaves,
00:48:20.60\00:48:24.40
DNA, air conditioning,
I mean, all these things,
00:48:24.43\00:48:28.10
the world has changed
so much in one lifetime.
00:48:28.14\00:48:31.87
You know, for me, one
of the greatest proofs,
00:48:31.91\00:48:33.64
hey, listen, listen,
you gonna want to get this.
00:48:33.68\00:48:36.44
Some of the greatest
proof that Jesus is coming soon
00:48:36.48\00:48:39.08
is the next thing
that Christ says here,
00:48:39.11\00:48:41.22
Matthew 24:14.
00:48:41.25\00:48:43.15
"And this gospel of the kingdom
00:48:43.18\00:48:45.02
will be
preached in all the world
00:48:45.05\00:48:47.76
for a witness to all nations,
and then the end will come."
00:48:47.79\00:48:51.59
You know, right now
through the internet,
00:48:51.63\00:48:54.33
these programs are being watched
00:48:54.36\00:48:55.90
all over the world.
00:48:55.93\00:48:57.83
Through television,
00:48:57.87\00:48:59.63
3ABN's got
satellites all over the world.
00:48:59.67\00:49:03.51
That through radio,
through the printed page,
00:49:03.54\00:49:08.64
from missionaries,
there's hardly a place.
00:49:08.68\00:49:12.78
Mrs. Batchelor and I went
with some of our media team
00:49:12.81\00:49:15.22
that's here now,
we went to New Guinea,
00:49:15.25\00:49:18.39
150,000 people came
00:49:18.42\00:49:22.22
and we couldn't believe
it, but how did they know?
00:49:22.26\00:49:25.43
They had smartphones.
00:49:25.46\00:49:27.50
They were texting each other.
00:49:27.53\00:49:29.80
Even on a fairly poor
country like New Guinea,
00:49:29.83\00:49:34.04
all over the place,
00:49:34.07\00:49:35.40
people are hearing
the message of the gospel.
00:49:35.44\00:49:38.34
Another thing sign to the end,
00:49:38.37\00:49:40.18
Bible says,
selfishness would increase.
00:49:40.21\00:49:42.91
Paul says, 2 Timothy,
00:49:42.94\00:49:44.28
now, there's no selfishness
in your family, right?
00:49:44.31\00:49:47.15
"Know this that
in the last days,"
00:49:47.18\00:49:49.12
this is 2 Timothy 3:1, 2, 4.
00:49:49.15\00:49:52.12
"Men will be
lovers of themselves,
00:49:52.15\00:49:53.96
lovers of money,
lovers of pleasure
00:49:53.99\00:49:55.89
more than God,"
00:49:55.92\00:49:57.26
that's happening
in the world today.
00:49:57.29\00:49:59.83
Jesus said, "The love
of many would grow cold
00:49:59.86\00:50:03.03
because lawlessness abounds."
00:50:03.06\00:50:05.57
People watch
these killer video games
00:50:05.60\00:50:07.60
and then young
people go out and get guns
00:50:07.64\00:50:09.64
and they shoot
their friends at school.
00:50:09.67\00:50:11.14
And they shoot teachers
and they just for no reason,
00:50:11.17\00:50:14.54
because you know what the
Bible says, when Christ...
00:50:14.58\00:50:17.41
Christ said,
"When Jesus comes again,
00:50:17.45\00:50:19.91
it will be like
the days of Noah."
00:50:19.95\00:50:21.95
You know, what it says
about the days of Noah?
00:50:21.98\00:50:23.55
Violence, the world
is full of violence,
00:50:23.59\00:50:27.29
and people involved in a
lot of senseless violence.
00:50:27.32\00:50:30.19
More people die in
gang fighting in Chicago
00:50:30.23\00:50:34.13
than die
overseas in the military,
00:50:34.16\00:50:36.43
from day to day.
00:50:36.46\00:50:38.77
It says, children would be
disobedient to their parents.
00:50:38.80\00:50:42.60
I know you obey your parents.
00:50:42.64\00:50:44.31
Unthankful, unloving,
unforgiving, slanderers,
00:50:44.34\00:50:49.11
without self control, brutal,
00:50:49.14\00:50:51.11
these are signs
of the last days.
00:50:51.15\00:50:53.98
So here's the
important question.
00:50:54.02\00:50:56.38
How do I get
ready for Jesus' coming?
00:50:56.42\00:50:59.72
How many of you
want to be ready?
00:50:59.75\00:51:01.76
You want to
know how to be ready?
00:51:01.79\00:51:03.49
You can get ready tonight.
00:51:03.53\00:51:05.79
Do any of you know that
00:51:05.83\00:51:07.16
you're going to
be alive in a week?
00:51:07.20\00:51:09.00
You probably will.
00:51:09.03\00:51:10.50
But you know,
sometimes things happen.
00:51:10.53\00:51:13.27
Life is a gift.
00:51:13.30\00:51:16.07
And you need to
make a decision to say,
00:51:16.10\00:51:18.47
"I'm not gonna
wait until I'm older."
00:51:18.51\00:51:20.68
Today, Jesus said,
"When you hear His voice,
00:51:20.71\00:51:23.45
you open the
door of your heart."
00:51:23.48\00:51:25.88
Christ said, "I stand
at the door and I knock.
00:51:25.91\00:51:28.72
If anyone hears My voice..."
00:51:28.75\00:51:30.39
He's not only knocking,
His voice, He's calling,
00:51:30.42\00:51:33.86
"And opens the
door, I will come in."
00:51:33.89\00:51:35.76
Do you remember
what we learned earlier?
00:51:35.79\00:51:38.16
Does Jesus force His way in
00:51:38.19\00:51:39.79
or do you need to invite Him in?
00:51:39.83\00:51:42.33
You need to invite Him in.
00:51:42.36\00:51:44.37
He wants you to open the door.
00:51:44.40\00:51:46.17
And He says, "If
you open the door,
00:51:46.20\00:51:47.90
as many as received Him,
00:51:47.94\00:51:51.01
to them He gives power
to become children of God,
00:51:51.04\00:51:54.94
those who believe in His name."
00:51:54.98\00:51:56.61
It's that simple.
00:51:56.64\00:51:58.11
If you say, "Lord, I
am sorry for my sins."
00:51:58.15\00:52:02.02
And you confess and
repent of your sins.
00:52:02.05\00:52:03.89
Tell the Lord,
you're sorry, pray to Him,
00:52:03.92\00:52:06.25
say, "Will You forgive me?"
00:52:06.29\00:52:07.62
He promises, He will.
00:52:07.66\00:52:09.19
The Bible says, "If
you confess your sins,
00:52:09.22\00:52:11.06
He's faithful and just
to forgive all your sins
00:52:11.09\00:52:13.96
and to cleanse you
from all unrighteousness."
00:52:14.00\00:52:16.80
And then, He'll
cleanse you from all,
00:52:16.83\00:52:19.70
He promises to
forgive you, you have a gift
00:52:19.73\00:52:21.97
of everlasting
life at that point.
00:52:22.00\00:52:24.94
Now, Christ said,
He'd come back again,
00:52:24.97\00:52:26.31
can we believe Him?
00:52:26.34\00:52:27.68
Yes.
00:52:27.71\00:52:29.04
You know, one of
my favorite stories
00:52:29.08\00:52:30.41
from history is about
Sir Ernest Shackleton.
00:52:30.45\00:52:34.92
He was a famous
Arctic explorer from England.
00:52:34.95\00:52:37.62
And he wanted
to be the first one
00:52:37.65\00:52:39.72
to take a team of men
00:52:39.75\00:52:41.09
and completely cross
the Antarctic South Pole.
00:52:41.12\00:52:44.49
And he ran an ad
in an English paper,
00:52:44.53\00:52:46.86
and it said, "Men
wanted for a hazardous journey.
00:52:46.90\00:52:50.83
Low wages, bitter cold,
00:52:50.87\00:52:54.10
long hours of complete darkness.
00:52:54.14\00:52:57.04
Safe return doubtful."
00:52:57.07\00:52:59.74
In other words,
you may not survive.
00:52:59.77\00:53:01.48
"Honor and recognition
in the event of success."
00:53:01.51\00:53:05.05
According to the story I heard,
00:53:05.08\00:53:07.15
he was flooded with
applications of young men
00:53:07.18\00:53:09.45
that wanted to do
something like that,
00:53:09.48\00:53:11.65
risk their life
for a noble cause.
00:53:11.69\00:53:14.39
So he got a very
careful crew together.
00:53:14.42\00:53:17.53
He made sure they
were all well trained.
00:53:17.56\00:53:19.73
And they took the
ship called the Endurance
00:53:19.76\00:53:21.56
and they went
down to the South Pole,
00:53:21.60\00:53:23.16
and as they began to get
ready to cross the South Pole,
00:53:23.20\00:53:25.93
the ship got trapped in ice,
and the men all had to unload.
00:53:25.97\00:53:30.77
And they couldn't go anywhere,
there's no radios back then,
00:53:30.81\00:53:33.41
they were stuck,
they were marooned,
00:53:33.44\00:53:35.91
and then soon the ship
got crushed in the ice.
00:53:35.94\00:53:39.41
So they took the lifeboats off.
00:53:39.45\00:53:41.82
They had to paddle the lifeboats
00:53:41.85\00:53:43.32
and take them to
the nearest island
00:53:43.35\00:53:45.35
because Antarctic was just ice,
they had to get off the ice.
00:53:45.39\00:53:48.22
They took the gear
and all that they could
00:53:48.26\00:53:49.62
and they went to an
island called Elephant Island,
00:53:49.66\00:53:51.99
and they were stranded there.
00:53:52.03\00:53:53.36
No one knew they were there.
00:53:53.40\00:53:54.73
They were starving, it
was winter, it was cold,
00:53:54.76\00:53:56.46
they were wet, they were sick.
00:53:56.50\00:53:59.23
And Shackleton
thought, we're gonna die
00:53:59.27\00:54:00.64
if we stay here,
I need to get help.
00:54:00.67\00:54:03.37
So he took five or six
men that were still well,
00:54:03.41\00:54:06.21
this is actually a
photograph they took that day,
00:54:06.24\00:54:08.14
they took a
photographer with them.
00:54:08.18\00:54:10.35
They got in that
little bitty boat
00:54:10.38\00:54:11.75
that you see there.
00:54:11.78\00:54:13.75
They crossed 800 miles of ocean,
00:54:13.78\00:54:16.89
they had no GPS
00:54:16.92\00:54:18.59
to go to the
nearest whaling station
00:54:18.62\00:54:20.79
where they knew there
would be some other people.
00:54:20.82\00:54:23.32
Shackleton told his men,
he said, "I will come again."
00:54:23.36\00:54:28.40
And he went and
he risked his life,
00:54:28.43\00:54:30.13
and they made it to
the whaling station,
00:54:30.17\00:54:31.97
even though he was
hungry and sick and cold.
00:54:32.00\00:54:36.10
He told the whaling boat
you've got to leave right now,
00:54:36.14\00:54:37.87
and I'm going with you because
00:54:37.91\00:54:39.24
I promised them
I would come back.
00:54:39.27\00:54:40.61
They said, we'll go get
them, we know where they are,
00:54:40.64\00:54:41.98
you stay here and rest.
00:54:42.01\00:54:43.35
He said, "No, I promised
that I would come back."
00:54:43.38\00:54:45.15
He got on the boat.
00:54:45.18\00:54:46.51
He went back with them
and he rescued all of his men.
00:54:46.55\00:54:50.49
Is Jesus gonna keep His promise?
00:54:50.52\00:54:53.22
He said, "I've gone to
prepare a place for you.
00:54:53.25\00:54:55.79
I will come again and
receive you to Myself."
00:54:55.82\00:54:58.09
Jesus is
definitely coming again.
00:54:58.13\00:55:00.36
This world is
definitely going to end.
00:55:00.40\00:55:03.77
You can see it, the
pollution, the overpopulation,
00:55:03.80\00:55:08.30
the threat of war,
00:55:08.34\00:55:09.67
man keeps making nuclear weapons
00:55:09.70\00:55:11.27
and history shows us
00:55:11.31\00:55:12.64
man has never made a
weapon he did not use.
00:55:12.67\00:55:14.78
I'm not trying to frighten you.
00:55:14.81\00:55:16.14
But you need to be aware
00:55:16.18\00:55:17.51
that this world is
not gonna last forever.
00:55:17.55\00:55:20.52
And the Lord
brought you here tonight
00:55:20.55\00:55:22.32
or you're watching right now
00:55:22.35\00:55:23.69
because He
wants you to be ready.
00:55:23.72\00:55:25.05
Jesus said,
"Look, I wanna prepare
00:55:25.09\00:55:26.42
a place for you."
00:55:26.45\00:55:28.26
But you must first give
Him a place in your heart,
00:55:28.29\00:55:31.03
if you prepare a
place for Him in your heart.
00:55:31.06\00:55:33.76
Say, "Lord, come into my
heart, I'm gonna open the door,
00:55:33.80\00:55:37.50
then You can take that
journey through the stars."
00:55:37.53\00:55:40.47
There's only two kinds of people
00:55:40.50\00:55:41.84
when Jesus comes, what are they?
00:55:41.87\00:55:43.71
Cockroaches and
butterflies or moths.
00:55:43.74\00:55:47.08
You get to make up
your mind what you wanna be.
00:55:47.11\00:55:50.11
If you invite
the Lord and He says,
00:55:50.15\00:55:51.48
"I'll make you a new
creature, I'll give you power,
00:55:51.51\00:55:53.68
I have a special exciting plan."
00:55:53.72\00:55:56.08
And you will have an
amazing adventure with Jesus,
00:55:56.12\00:55:59.72
when you invite
Him into your heart.
00:55:59.75\00:56:01.19
How many of you want to do that?
00:56:01.22\00:56:02.56
