(MUSIC) >>THIS
PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
00:01:00.52\00:01:03.56
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF
THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:01:03.59\00:01:10.53
>THE GREAT BASIN BRISTLE
CONE PINE IS ONE OF THE LONGEST
00:01:10.57\00:01:13.47
LIVING ORGANISMS ON
EARTH. INCREDIBLY, IT CAN LIVE
00:01:13.50\00:01:17.21
MORE THAN 4,000 YEARS. IN
FACT, ONE SPECIMEN, CALLED
00:01:17.24\00:01:21.68
THE METHUSELAH TREE, IN THE
WHITE MOUNTAINS OF CALIFORNIA,
00:01:21.71\00:01:24.38
IS BELIEVED TO BE OVER 4,700
YEARS OLD AND IT'S AMONG THE
00:01:24.41\00:01:29.02
OLDEST LIVING
TREES ON THE PLANET.
00:01:29.05\00:01:31.72
THIS TREE WAS AROUND WHEN
THE EGYPTIANS WERE BUILDING THE
00:01:31.75\00:01:34.32
PYRAMIDS. SOME OF
THESE ANCIENT EVERGREENS
00:01:34.36\00:01:37.29
FOUND ON LONELY MOUNTAINTOPS
HAVE WEATHERED THOUSANDS OF
00:01:37.33\00:01:40.33
YEARS OF INTENSE FREEZING WIND,
POUNDING RAIN, SCORCHING SUN,
00:01:40.36\00:01:45.13
AND VIOLENT ELECTRICAL STORMS.
HOW HAVE THEY MANAGED TO SURVIVE
00:01:45.17\00:01:48.74
FOR MILLENNIA OF SUCH HARSH
WEATHER AND ADVERSE CONDITIONS?
00:01:48.77\00:01:53.27
THEY DO IT BY SENDING THEIR
ROOTS DEEP AND WRAPPING THEM
00:01:53.31\00:01:56.11
TENACIOUSLY AROUND THE
SOLID ROCK AND HANGING ON.
00:01:56.14\00:01:59.75
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, JESUS
TELLS US THAT THERE'S A TIME OF
00:01:59.78\00:02:02.32
TRIBULATION COMING JUST
BEFORE HIS RETURN - AN INTENSE
00:02:02.35\00:02:05.79
FRIGHTFUL STORM OF TROUBLE
UNLIKE ANYTHING WE'VE EVER SEEN.
00:02:05.82\00:02:10.16
IS YOUR LIFE ANCHORED ON
THE SOLID ROCK OF CHRIST?
00:02:10.19\00:02:13.60
LET'S EXPLORE TOGETHER, FROM THE
BIBLE, JUST WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN
00:02:13.63\00:02:16.87
THE LAST DAYS. >>YOU
KNOW IT'S VERY INTERESTING
00:02:16.90\00:02:24.11
THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY PROGRAMS
NOW THAT ARE DEALING WITH
00:02:24.14\00:02:28.31
THE SUBJECT OF PREPPERS.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC HAS A
00:02:28.34\00:02:32.71
PROGRAM THAT SPECIFICALLY TALKS
ABOUT DOOMSDAY PREPPERS AND
00:02:32.75\00:02:36.95
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WONDERING WHAT'S COMING.
00:02:36.99\00:02:40.09
AND SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN RELIGIOUS.
00:02:40.12\00:02:42.79
THEY JUST SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THE WORLD, THEY'RE WORRIED
00:02:42.82\00:02:44.96
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, THEY'RE
WORRIED ABOUT A NATURAL DISASTER
00:02:44.99\00:02:48.20
- THEY SAY 'WHAT WILL WE DO
IF AN ASTEROID STRIKES OR IF
00:02:48.23\00:02:51.27
THERE'S A TSUNAMI OR IF
THERE'S A SOCIAL MELTDOWN?'
00:02:51.30\00:02:54.74
OTHERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT
ARMAGEDDON AND THERE'S MORE
00:02:54.77\00:02:57.04
RELIGIOUS
OVERTONES TO THEIR FEAR.
00:02:57.07\00:02:59.87
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORRIED
- HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD ABOUT
00:02:59.91\00:03:02.48
FOLKS THAT ARE PREPPERS WHO ARE
TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE LAST
00:03:02.51\00:03:05.05
DAYS AND THEY'RE - THEY'RE
STORING UP BUCKETS OF BEANS AND
00:03:05.08\00:03:08.28
THEY'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SOLAR
ELECTRIC AND ALL THESE THINGS
00:03:08.32\00:03:11.52
AND IT'S NOT
NECESSARILY A BAD THING.
00:03:11.55\00:03:14.09
KAREN AND I'VE HAD A CABIN IN
THE HILLS FOR 40 YEARS NOW AND I
00:03:14.12\00:03:17.26
THINK 35 YEARS WE'VE BEEN OFF
THE GRID AND IT'S JUST BECAUSE
00:03:17.29\00:03:21.10
THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY NEARBY.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING
00:03:21.13\00:03:25.07
THIS BECAUSE THEY THINK 'WHEN
THERE IS THIS MAJOR MELTDOWN WE
00:03:25.10\00:03:30.21
SOMEHOW WILL SURVIVE.' NOW
FOR YEARS FOLKS HAVE ACTED LIKE
00:03:30.24\00:03:34.18
'WELL THIS IS JUST A FRINGE
GROUP THAT'S WORRIED ABOUT
00:03:34.21\00:03:36.98
THAT.' BUT IT'S
NOW GOING BEYOND THAT.
00:03:37.01\00:03:40.25
I THINK IT WAS JUST LAST WEEK
WALL STREET JOURNAL PUBLISHED AN
00:03:40.28\00:03:43.59
ARTICLE THAT NOW THERE IS
ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THESE MEGA
00:03:43.62\00:03:48.59
MILLIONAIRES HAVE A PLAN OR
A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN PROTECT
00:03:48.62\00:03:53.96
THEMSELVES IN THE EVENT
OF SOME SOCIAL MELTDOWN.
00:03:54.00\00:03:59.00
YOU CAN SEE DOOMSDAY
PREP FOR THE SUPER RICH.
00:03:59.03\00:04:03.71
THEY BOUGHT THESE
DEACTIVATED MISSILE SILOS.
00:04:03.74\00:04:08.34
YOU'VE HEARD OF SKYSCRAPERS
THAT GO UP IN THE AIR?
00:04:08.38\00:04:10.98
THESE GO DOWN IN THE
GROUND AND THEY HAVE ROOMS.
00:04:11.01\00:04:15.15
AND IT'S THREE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A LEVEL AND THEY ARE SELLING
00:04:15.18\00:04:18.99
OUT. BECAUSE
THESE MEGA MILLIONAIRES
00:04:19.02\00:04:21.76
AND BILLIONAIRES THEY'RE BUYING
SECURE SPOTS THEY'VE GOT THEIR
00:04:21.79\00:04:24.36
OWN WATER SYSTEM PURIFICATION,
AIR PURIFICATION, HYDROPONIC
00:04:24.39\00:04:29.73
FARMING - THEY GOT THE SWIMMING
POOL, THEY'VE GOT A THEATER
00:04:29.76\00:04:35.24
FOR 17 PEOPLE, THEY'VE GOT
A PHARMACY, A JAIL AND THIS IS
00:04:35.27\00:04:39.11
ALL BEING BUILT BELOW GROUND.
YOU KNOW, THEY THOUGHT, IF
00:04:39.14\00:04:43.14
ANYBODY KIND OF GETS
ODD, THEY'VE GOT THE JAIL.
00:04:43.18\00:04:46.11
TILL THEY COOL OFF BECAUSE YOU
KNOW IF YOU GET COOPED UP WITH A
00:04:46.15\00:04:48.78
BUNCH OF TYPE X MILLIONAIRES
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
00:04:48.82\00:04:52.05
SO IT'S NOT JUST FRINGE GROUPS
THAT ARE THINKING ABOUT SOME
00:04:52.09\00:04:56.66
KIND OF CATASTROPHE THAT SEEMS
TO BE LOOMING ON THE HORIZON.
00:04:56.69\00:05:00.96
HEDGE FUNDS MANAGERS
MULTI-MILLIONAIRES AND
00:05:00.96\00:05:04.60
BILLIONAIRES FROM
SILICON VALLEY, THEY ARE MAKING
00:05:04.63\00:05:07.90
PREPARATIONS FOR WHAT THEY THINK
IS GOING TO BE INEVITABLE ONE
00:05:07.94\00:05:11.61
WAY OR THE OTHER AND YOU -
YOU CONSIDER WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:05:11.64\00:05:14.31
STUDY TONIGHT
AND YOU'LL SEE WHY.
00:05:14.34\00:05:16.04
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
TONIGHT ABOUT SIGNS OF JESUS
00:05:16.08\00:05:20.25
COMING. THE SECOND
COMING OF CHRIST IS
00:05:20.28\00:05:22.35
WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THE PINNACLE
OR THE HIGH POINT OF PROPHECY.
00:05:22.38\00:05:26.89
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH
SORT OF A QUESTION AND ANSWER
00:05:26.92\00:05:29.36
METHOD THAT JUST
HELPS ME STAY ON TRACK.
00:05:29.39\00:05:31.83
AND SO IT CREATES AN
OUTLINE FOR OUR STUDY.
00:05:31.86\00:05:35.03
FIRST QUESTION IS: WHAT IS
ONE OF THE CENTRAL TEACHINGS IN
00:05:35.06\00:05:38.17
REVELATION? NOW YOU
MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTES.
00:05:38.20\00:05:41.30
WE'VE MENTIONED THAT THERE'S
SOME SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL THAT
00:05:41.34\00:05:44.04
YOU CAN GET TO GO ALONG
WITH THESE PRESENTATIONS BUT I'M
00:05:44.07\00:05:48.31
GOING TO GIVE YOU A FEW OF THE
SCRIPTURES JUST FROM REVELATION
00:05:48.34\00:05:50.81
SO YOU'LL KNOW THAT THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS IS NOT AN
00:05:50.85\00:05:53.85
AFTERTHOUGHT IN THE LAST
BOOK OF BIBLE - OF THE BIBLE.
00:05:53.88\00:05:57.95
FOR INSTANCE: REVELATION
1, VERSE 7 - FIRST CHAPTER -
00:05:57.99\00:06:01.02
"BEHOLD HE'S COMING WITH THE
CLOUDS AND EVERY EYE WILL SEE
00:06:01.06\00:06:04.63
HIM. EVEN THOSE
WHO PIERCED HIM."
00:06:04.66\00:06:08.03
- YOU CAN READ REVELATION 14:14,
"I LOOKED AND BEHOLD A WHITE
00:06:08.06\00:06:11.33
CLOUD AND UPON THE CLOUD ONE SAT
LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN HAVING
00:06:11.37\00:06:16.10
ON HIS HEAD A GOLDEN
CROWN." AGAIN TALKING ABOUT
00:06:16.14\00:06:19.91
THE SECOND COMING.
SOMEONE ON THE CLOUDS COMING -
00:06:19.94\00:06:22.34
JESUS IS COMING IN THE CLOUDS.
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 22,
00:06:22.38\00:06:26.01
VERSE 7 HE SAID,
"BEHOLD I AM COMING QUICKLY.
00:06:26.05\00:06:29.52
BLESSED IS HE WHO KEEPS THE
WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS
00:06:29.55\00:06:32.79
BOOK." NOW THAT'S THE LAST
CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE BUT WE'RE
00:06:32.82\00:06:35.62
NOT DONE YET. YOU GO
TO REVELATION CHAPTER 22,
00:06:35.66\00:06:38.03
VERSE 20, "HE WHO TESTIFIES
OF THESE THINGS SAYS, 'SURELY
00:06:38.06\00:06:42.00
I AM COMING' - HOW? >>QUICKLY.
00:06:42.03\00:06:44.47
>>QUICKLY. NOTICE HE'S COMING
QUICKLY, QUICKLY - AND YOU'RE
00:06:44.50\00:06:47.24
PROBABLY THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG,
JOHN WROTE THAT 2000 YEARS AGO.
00:06:47.27\00:06:52.31
GOD'S IDEA OF QUICKLY AND
MY IDEA OF QUICKLY ARE NOT THE
00:06:52.34\00:06:54.38
SAME.' (LAUGHTER) I
MEAN WE WANT FAST FOOD.
00:06:54.41\00:06:57.35
WE THINK OUR
MICROWAVES ARE TOO SLOW, RIGHT?
00:06:57.38\00:07:01.25
SO WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?
WELL STAY WITH US AND WE'LL TALK
00:07:01.28\00:07:04.25
ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
HE WHO TESTIFIED OF THESE THINGS
00:07:04.29\00:07:07.82
SAID, "'SURELY I AM
COMING QUICKLY, AMEN.'
00:07:07.86\00:07:10.59
EVEN SO, COME, LORD
JESUS." ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
00:07:10.63\00:07:13.80
TEACHINGS OF THE BOOK. SO
WITH THAT IN MIND THAT THE
00:07:13.83\00:07:17.30
LORD SAYS HE IS COMING AND THAT
HE'S COMING QUICKLY, WHAT CAN WE
00:07:17.33\00:07:21.64
KNOW ABOUT THE
TIME OF JESUS' RETURN?
00:07:21.67\00:07:25.41
NOW THIS IS WHERE
YOU'VE GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL.
00:07:25.44\00:07:27.94
AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
CAREFULLY TO WHAT I'M SHARING.
00:07:27.98\00:07:30.48
WE CAN KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE
LORD COMING SOON, BUT BE VERY
00:07:30.51\00:07:34.45
CAREFUL ABOUT A GROUP THAT IS
GIVING YOU A DATE FOR THE LORD'S
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.49
RETURN. MATTHEW 24,
JESUS SAID, SPEAKING
00:07:37.52\00:07:40.72
OF HIS SECOND COMING,
"BUT OF THAT DAY AND THAT HOUR
00:07:40.76\00:07:44.36
KNOWS" - HOW MANY PEOPLE?
- "NO MAN" - NOT EVEN THE
00:07:44.39\00:07:47.93
ANGELS, BUT MY FATHER ONLY."
I'M SURE JESUS IS IN HEAVEN - HE
00:07:47.96\00:07:51.97
KNOWS NOW, BUT WHEN CHRIST WAS
ON THE - I MEAN, I DOUBT THAT
00:07:52.00\00:07:54.54
THE FATHER IS SAYING, 'OH, I
KNOW THE DATE BUT I CAN'T TRUST
00:07:54.57\00:07:57.14
YOU WITH IT.' BUT WHEN JESUS
WAS ON THE EARTH HE SAID, 'I
00:07:57.17\00:08:00.04
DON'T EVEN KNOW THE
DATE. MY FATHER ONLY KNOWS IT.
00:08:00.08\00:08:03.65
SO WHEN SOMEONE STARTS TO
PRESUME TO TELL YOU, 'I'VE
00:08:03.68\00:08:06.15
FIGURED IT OUT. I DID THE MATH.
00:08:06.18\00:08:07.82
I KNOW THE DAY AND THE HOUR OF
JESUS' COMING' - THIS GENTLEMAN
00:08:07.85\00:08:11.65
HERE, HAROLD
CAMPING, A VERY SINCERE MAN.
00:08:11.69\00:08:14.82
I DON'T QUESTION THAT. HE
WAS THE PRESIDENT AND ONE OF
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.33
THE FOUNDERS OF FAMILY RADIO.
THEY HAVE SOME GREAT CHRISTIAN
00:08:17.36\00:08:20.00
MUSIC - BUT I THINK MOST OF US
REMEMBER WHEN, A FEW YEARS AGO,
00:08:20.03\00:08:23.80
HE FORETOLD - I THINK IT WAS
2011 - THAT WAS THE SECOND OR
00:08:23.83\00:08:26.80
THIRD TIME HE PICKED A
DATE FOR THE SECOND COMING.
00:08:26.84\00:08:29.27
MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF HIS DATES
WAS, I THINK, 1994 OR 96 - I
00:08:29.30\00:08:33.58
DON'T REMEMBER - I WAS DOING
A SEMINAR AND, AGAIN, HE HAD
00:08:33.61\00:08:36.78
PICKED THE DATE AND IT REALLY
HELPED THE ATTENDANCE OF MY
00:08:36.81\00:08:38.71
SEMINAR. (LAUGHTER) BUT,
OF COURSE, JESUS DIDN'T COME.
00:08:38.75\00:08:42.38
AND I'VE ALWAYS MADE IT VERY
CLEAR THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT.
00:08:42.42\00:08:45.92
HE HAD A BIG DATE FOR MAY 11 -
OR MAY 21, 2011 AND WE ACTUALLY
00:08:45.95\00:08:50.86
INTERVIEWED HIM.
WE WERE ON FOX NEWS IN
00:08:50.89\00:08:54.73
SACRAMENTO BECAUSE I MADE AN
OFFER - HE HAD A GREAT NETWORK
00:08:54.73\00:08:58.83
OF RADIO STATIONS; WE SAID,
WE'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS
00:08:58.87\00:09:01.74
FOR YOUR RADIO STATIONS.
YOU CAN USE NOW, BUT IF JESUS
00:09:01.77\00:09:04.41
DOESN'T COME YOU SIGN THEM OVER
TO US' - AND HE DIDN'T DO IT.
00:09:04.44\00:09:08.31
(LAUGHTER) AND SINCE THEN HE'S -
YEAH, HE WAS SINCERE - HE HAD A
00:09:08.34\00:09:13.42
STROKE SHORTLY
AFTER JESUS DIDN'T COME.
00:09:13.45\00:09:15.58
I THINK HE WAS DEVASTATED.
HE REALLY BELIEVED IT, BUT IT
00:09:15.62\00:09:17.69
MESSED UP A LOT OF
PEOPLE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:09:17.72\00:09:19.65
IT MADE
CHRISTIANITY LOSE CREDIBILITY.
00:09:19.69\00:09:22.36
THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT TO
BE CAREFUL ABOUT PEOPLE JUST
00:09:22.39\00:09:25.09
CONTINUALLY SETTING DATES
AND THEN IT'S THE NEXT DATE, AND
00:09:25.13\00:09:27.56
THEN IT'S THE NEXT THING.
I THINK WE NEED TO LIVE IN A
00:09:27.60\00:09:29.96
STATE OF EXPECTANCY BECAUSE,
IN REALITY, AS FAR AS YOU'RE
00:09:30.00\00:09:34.64
CONCERNED, IF YOU DIE YOUR
NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS THE
00:09:34.67\00:09:37.71
RESURRECTION AND THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:09:37.74\00:09:39.87
>>AMEN! >>HE COULD COME
00:09:39.91\00:09:41.21
FOR YOU VERY SOON. AND
EVEN IF YOU LIVE 90 OR 100 -
00:09:41.24\00:09:46.08
200 YEARS, WHAT'S
THAT COMPARED TO ETERNITY?
00:09:46.11\00:09:49.82
OUR LIVES ARE PRETTY SHORT.
THE BIBLE SAYS A DAY WITH THE
00:09:49.85\00:09:52.59
LORD IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS.
NOW, JESUS DID TELL US WE DON'T
00:09:52.62\00:09:56.79
KNOW THE DAY OR HOUR BUT
WE CAN KNOW WHEN IT'S NEAR.
00:09:56.83\00:10:00.53
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 33, HE SAID,
"WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE THINGS
00:10:00.56\00:10:06.10
KNOW THAT IT IS"
- WHAT? - IT'S NEAR.
00:10:06.13\00:10:08.94
SO JESUS GAVE US SIGNS.
HE SAID, 'LIFT UP YOUR HEADS
00:10:08.97\00:10:11.34
WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS.'
HE WANTS US TO BE WATCHING.
00:10:11.37\00:10:14.38
FIVE TIMES IN MARK 13, WHEN
JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE SECOND
00:10:14.41\00:10:16.91
COMING, HE SAYS, 'WATCH
WATCH WATCH.' ACTUALLY IT'S FOUR
00:10:16.95\00:10:21.22
TIMES, BUT HE
WANTS US TO BE WATCHING.
00:10:21.25\00:10:23.35
HE SAID 'LEST COMING SUDDENLY HE
FINDS YOU SLEEPING.' AND THEN HE
00:10:23.39\00:10:26.89
GIVES THE PARABLE OF THE VIRGINS
WAITING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM.
00:10:26.92\00:10:30.39
THEY FALL ASLEEP
AND THEY'RE NOT READY.
00:10:30.43\00:10:32.19
AND SO HE WANTS US TO BE
THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND
00:10:32.23\00:10:34.73
SO WHEN YOU COME TO A PROGRAM
LIKE THIS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE
00:10:34.73\00:10:37.93
RETURN OF THE LORD - AND
THE CLOSING PROMISE IN THE BIBLE
00:10:37.97\00:10:41.70
TALKS ABOUT 'EVEN SO COME LORD
JESUS,' IT IS A GOOD THING FOR
00:10:41.74\00:10:45.24
CHRISTIANS TO TALK
ABOUT JESUS COMING BACK.
00:10:45.27\00:10:47.54
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:10:47.58\00:10:48.61
>>IT'S A GOOD THING.
DON'T SET DATES, BUT HE WANTS
00:10:48.64\00:10:50.88
US TO BE LOOKING AT
THAT. SO, IS HE COMING SOON?
00:10:50.91\00:10:56.89
LET ME GIVE YOU A BROAD IDEA
OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCOPE OF
00:10:56.92\00:11:00.56
HISTORY. THE
BIBLE SORT OF OUTLINES
00:11:00.59\00:11:03.76
HISTORY FROM - IN THREE GREAT
EPOCHS. YOU'VE GOT - FROM THE
00:11:03.79\00:11:07.96
TIME OF ADAM TO
ABRAHAM IS ABOUT 2000 YEARS.
00:11:08.00\00:11:12.73
WE DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT DATE FOR CREATION.
00:11:12.77\00:11:16.10
AMAZING FACTS SPENT A LOT
OF TIME DEVELOPING A BIBLE
00:11:16.14\00:11:18.47
CHRONOLOGY TIMELINE JUST ADDING
UP THE AGES IN THE BIBLE JUST TO
00:11:18.51\00:11:22.21
KNOW WHEN, YOU KNOW, DAVID LIVED
IN RELATION TO SAMSON AND THOSE
00:11:22.24\00:11:25.01
THINGS, AND WHEN IT GOT BACK TO
THE TIME OF ADAM AND CREATION,
00:11:25.05\00:11:28.32
YOU COULD JUST MAKE AN EDUCATED
GUESS AND EVEN IF YOU KNEW THE
00:11:28.35\00:11:31.19
DATE THAT WOULD NOT BE THE
WAY TO PICK A DAY FOR THE SECOND
00:11:31.22\00:11:34.42
COMING. JUST LOOKING AT THE
00:11:34.46\00:11:36.06
SCOPE OF HISTORY. ADAM
WAS BORN - YOU DON'T REALLY
00:11:36.09\00:11:39.39
SAY BORN, HE WAS CREATED
- ABOUT 4004 B.C., SOMEWHERE
00:11:39.43\00:11:43.67
AROUND THERE. 2000
YEARS LATER ABRAHAM'S BORN.
00:11:43.70\00:11:47.74
FOR THE FIRST 2000 YEARS GOD
SHARES THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE
00:11:47.77\00:11:50.81
PATRIARCHS. THEY WERE NOT JEWS.
THEY WERE PEOPLE LIKE ADAM AND
00:11:50.84\00:11:55.31
SETH AND NOAH - METHUSELAH -
SO FORTH - ENOCH - GODLY PEOPLE.
00:11:55.34\00:12:00.55
AND THEN FROM THE TIME OF
ABRAHAM, THEN GOD SHARED THE
00:12:00.58\00:12:03.69
GOSPEL FOR ANOTHER 2000 YEARS
ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE HEBREW
00:12:03.72\00:12:07.86
PEOPLE - THE JEWISH PEOPLE -
AND JESUS WAS BORN ABOUT 4 B.C.
00:12:07.89\00:12:12.89
NOW I KNOW THAT CONFUSES PEOPLE.
THEY SAY, 'I THOUGHT JESUS WAS
00:12:12.93\00:12:16.70
BORN ZERO.' AND THAT'S
WHY WE SAY, YOU KNOW, 4 B.C.
00:12:16.73\00:12:20.20
IS BEFORE CHRIST. WHEN
THEY DEVELOPED THAT DATING
00:12:20.24\00:12:22.67
METHOD, THEY DID AN
EDUCATED GUESS ABOUT WHEN THEY
00:12:22.70\00:12:25.14
THOUGHT JESUS WAS BORN.
THEY FIXED THAT AS THE YEAR
00:12:25.17\00:12:27.54
ZERO, THEN YEARS LATER
THEY FOUND OUT THAT KING HEROD
00:12:27.58\00:12:31.01
THE GREAT DIED ABOUT 2 B.C.
WE KNOW HE'S THE ONE WHO TRIED
00:12:31.05\00:12:34.98
TO KILL ALL THE
BABIES IN BETHLEHEM.
00:12:35.02\00:12:36.55
JESUS MUST HAVE BEEN ALIVE
THEN. WE REALIZED JESUS WAS
00:12:36.58\00:12:39.55
BAPTIZED IN 27 A.D. HE
WAS BAPTIZED ON HIS 30TH
00:12:39.59\00:12:44.26
BIRTHDAY, THE BIBLE SAYS.
YOU COUNT BACKWARDS AND WE
00:12:44.29\00:12:47.00
REALIZE THEY GOT THAT
A.D. B.C. DATING METHOD WRONG -
00:12:47.03\00:12:50.53
ABOUT 4 YEARS. BUT -
SO THEN YOU'VE GOT 2000
00:12:50.57\00:12:53.97
YEARS FROM ADAM TO ABRAHAM, 2000
YEARS FROM ABRAHAM TO CHRIST.
00:12:54.00\00:12:58.24
THEN, FOR THE NEXT 2000 YEARS,
WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR DAY - THE
00:12:58.27\00:13:02.94
GOSPEL'S BEING PREACHED THROUGH
SPIRITUAL ISRAEL - OR THE
00:13:02.98\00:13:05.45
CHURCH. AND THEN,
AFTER YOU GET FROM
00:13:05.48\00:13:08.92
THAT - AND, OF COURSE, WE'RE
LIVING NOW IN THE SPACE AGE -
00:13:08.95\00:13:12.15
YOU KNOW WE'RE LIVING
RIGHT NOW EXACTLY 2000 YEARS
00:13:12.19\00:13:14.26
FROM THE LIFE OF JESUS.
WE'RE LIVING 2000 YEARS FROM
00:13:14.29\00:13:18.33
BETWEEN WHEN HE WAS
BORN AND WHEN HE DIED.
00:13:18.36\00:13:21.36
AND SO IT IS AN
INTERESTING TIME IN HISTORY.
00:13:21.40\00:13:25.17
AND THEN YOU READ IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 20, IT TALKS ABOUT A
00:13:25.20\00:13:28.44
THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD AT THE
END OF THIS SIX THOUSAND YEAR OF
00:13:28.47\00:13:31.71
BIBLE HISTORY - TALKING ABOUT
THE BIBLE AGES - FOR A TOTAL OF
00:13:31.74\00:13:35.41
7000, WHICH IS KIND
OF AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:13:35.44\00:13:38.75
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS 'A DAY
WITH THE LORD IS LIKE A THOUSAND
00:13:38.78\00:13:41.42
YEARS AND A THOUSAND YEARS LIKE
A DAY.' GOD SEEMS TO WORK ON A
00:13:41.45\00:13:44.52
PATTERN IN THE BIBLE WHERE YOU
WORK SIX DAYS AND YOU REST ONE.
00:13:44.55\00:13:47.72
AND HERE YOU'VE GOT LIKE SIX
THOUSAND YEARS FOR THE PLAN OF
00:13:47.76\00:13:50.36
SALVATION. HERE WE
ARE NEAR THE END OF THAT
00:13:50.39\00:13:51.93
PERIOD AND THEN A THOUSAND YEARS
- IT SAYS THE SAINTS LIVE AND
00:13:51.96\00:13:54.76
REIGN WITH CHRIST - IT'S
ALMOST LIKE A THOUSAND-YEAR
00:13:54.83\00:13:56.56
SABBATH, IF YOU WILL. SO
JUST KIND OF GIVE THIS TO YOU
00:13:56.60\00:14:00.60
IN - IN YOUR MIND HERE I'LL PUT
A CHART UP HERE YOU'VE GOT THESE
00:14:00.64\00:14:04.14
THREE EPOCHS YOU GET 2000 YEARS
OF THE PATRIARCHS, 2000 YEARS
00:14:04.17\00:14:09.38
OF THE JEWS, 2000 YEARS OF THE
CHURCH - OR SPIRITUAL ISRAEL -
00:14:09.41\00:14:13.38
THEN A THOUSAND YEARS WHERE
WE LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST.
00:14:13.42\00:14:16.48
WE'RE LIVING RIGHT AT THAT TIME
THAT WOULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST.
00:14:16.52\00:14:21.26
I FRANKLY THINK THAT WE'RE
LIVING IN THE GENERATION THAT'S
00:14:21.29\00:14:24.26
GOING TO SEE THE CULMINATION
OF ALL THAT'S BEEN FORETOLD.
00:14:24.29\00:14:27.13
I KNOW WHAT SOME
OF YOU ARE THINKING.
00:14:27.20\00:14:28.73
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU PASTORS HAVE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT JESUS COMING
00:14:28.76\00:14:32.10
AGAIN NOW FOR THOUSANDS OF
YEARS, AND IT HASN'T COME YET.'
00:14:32.13\00:14:37.14
WHEN HE DOES COME
YOU'LL THINK IT'S TOO SOON.
00:14:37.17\00:14:41.58
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ONE
OF THESE DAYS ONE OF US IS GOING
00:14:41.61\00:14:43.45
TO BE RIGHT. HE
IS GOING TO COME.
00:14:43.48\00:14:47.68
>>FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT

BEFORE WE DO YOU KNOW A LOT
00:14:49.55\00:14:52.65
OF FOLKS MISUNDERSTAND
HOW JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.
00:14:52.69\00:14:56.02
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT
'WILL HIS RETURN BE A SECRET?'
00:14:56.06\00:14:59.23
'WHEN IS THE
TRIBULATION TAKING PLACE?'
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.46

00:15:30.66\00:15:33.76
PRESENTATION AND LEARN
SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM
00:15:33.80\00:15:36.40
THE WORD OF GOD. >>KEEP
IN MIND GOD TOLD ABRAHAM
00:15:36.43\00:15:41.14
THAT THROUGH HIS DESCENDANTS
THE MESSIAH WOULD COME.
00:15:41.17\00:15:44.07
EVERY JEWISH GIRL HOPED THAT
SHE WOULD BE THE MOTHER OF THE
00:15:44.11\00:15:46.57
MESSIAH. 100 YEARS
WENT BY 200 YEARS WENT BY.
00:15:46.61\00:15:51.91
THEY KEPT SAYING 'HE'S COMING
HE'S COMING.' 'THE MESSIAH IS
00:15:51.95\00:15:53.98
COMING.' 500 YEARS WENT BY
- 1000 YEARS WENT BY AND THEY
00:15:54.02\00:15:59.05
STARTED LOSING FAITH.
'YEAH, THEY SAY THE MESSIAH IS
00:15:59.09\00:16:01.09
COMING.' FINALLY WHEN
JESUS DID COME, 2000 YEARS
00:16:01.12\00:16:04.59
LATER WERE THEY READY? >>NO.
00:16:04.63\00:16:07.10
>>COULD THAT
HAPPEN AGAIN? >>YES.
00:16:07.13\00:16:09.30
>>THEY WERE ON THAT TIME.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS
00:16:09.33\00:16:12.57
OF THE NEARNESS OF
CHRIST? THERE'S OUR QUESTION
00:16:12.60\00:16:16.17
NUMBER THREE. NOW, IF
YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIBLES
00:16:16.20\00:16:18.17
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
BROUGHT A BIBLE WITH YOU BUT
00:16:18.21\00:16:19.44
I'LL READ IT TO YOU. IF
YOU GO TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 24
00:16:19.47\00:16:23.14
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT SIGNS
OF THE SECOND COMING: "YOU WILL
00:16:23.18\00:16:27.25
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
SEE THAT YOU'RE NOT TROUBLED.
00:16:27.28\00:16:31.19
ALL THESE THINGS
MUST COME TO PASS."
00:16:31.22\00:16:33.29
HE SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE
WAR BUT A WAR IS NOT A SIGN -
00:16:33.32\00:16:35.09
THERE'S BEEN WARS ALL
ALONG - "THE END IS NOT YET.
00:16:35.12\00:16:38.36
NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION
AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM AND
00:16:38.39\00:16:42.06
THERE WILL BE FAMINES AND
PESTILENCE" - THOSE ARE PLAGUES
00:16:42.10\00:16:44.67
- "AND
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES.
00:16:44.70\00:16:47.27
ALL THESE ARE AT THE BEGINNING
OF SORROWS THEN THEY WILL
00:16:47.30\00:16:50.17
DELIVER YOU UP TO TRIBULATION
AND KILL YOU AND YOU'LL BE HATED
00:16:50.21\00:16:53.38
OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S
SAKE AND MANY WILL BE OFFENDED
00:16:53.41\00:16:56.98
AND BETRAY ONE ANOTHER AND
MANY WILL HATE ONE ANOTHER.
00:16:57.01\00:16:59.71
MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE
AND DECEIVE MANY AND BECAUSE
00:16:59.75\00:17:03.45
LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND THE
LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD."
00:17:03.49\00:17:06.65
- AND HEAR ITS PROMISES - "BUT
HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END WILL
00:17:06.69\00:17:08.36
BE SAVED." - HE
SAID, 'DON'T LOSE PATIENCE'
00:17:08.39\00:17:13.63
- EVEN REVELATION SAYS 'HERE IS
THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS.' WHY
00:17:13.66\00:17:17.47
DO YOU THINK WE NEED PATIENCE?
HE'S COMING SOON AND SOME PEOPLE
00:17:17.50\00:17:20.90
ARE SAYING, 'AW, IS
HE EVER GOING TO COME?'
00:17:20.94\00:17:23.07
HOLD ON. HE'S COMING AGAIN.
SO NOW LET'S TAKE APART SOME OF
00:17:23.10\00:17:26.61
THE SIGNS THAT WE JUST
LOOKED AT TALKING ABOUT THE
00:17:26.64\00:17:29.24
SIGNS OF THE END.
TALKED ABOUT WARS AND RUMORS OF
00:17:29.28\00:17:31.98
WARS - POLITICAL
INSTABILITY. DO WE HAVE THAT IN
00:17:32.01\00:17:35.18
THE WORLD TODAY? >>YEP.
00:17:35.22\00:17:37.32
>>YEAH, YOU KNOW, JUST IN
THE NEWS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.
00:17:37.35\00:17:40.72
NOT ONLY IS NORTH KOREA
CONTINUING TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE
00:17:40.76\00:17:43.83
AND TEST THE DISTANCE IT CAN
DELIVER BALLISTIC MISSILES, BUT
00:17:43.86\00:17:47.86
IRAN IS NOW TESTING MISSILES
AND THEY'VE MADE IT VERY CLEAR
00:17:47.93\00:17:50.70
THERE'S SOME COUNTRIES
THEY DON'T LIKE VERY MUCH.
00:17:50.73\00:17:53.17
WE'RE ONE OF
THEM. ISRAEL'S ANOTHER.
00:17:53.20\00:17:55.57
I MEAN RIGHT NOW IT'S - IT'S
LIKE THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST IS A
00:17:55.60\00:17:59.21
POWDER KEG. AND,
UNFORTUNATELY, MAN HAS
00:17:59.24\00:18:02.58
NEVER MADE A
WEAPON HE DID NOT USE.
00:18:02.61\00:18:04.85
THAT'S A HISTORICAL FACT.
AND YOU JUST WONDER, AT ONE
00:18:04.88\00:18:08.22
POINT, IS SOMEBODY GOING TO GET
A HOLD OF A FORBIDDEN NUCLEAR
00:18:08.25\00:18:11.35
WEAPON FROM THE COLD WAR
OR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:18:11.39\00:18:14.52
YOU KNOW REVELATION TELLS US
THAT GOD HAS HIS ANGELS HOLDING
00:18:14.56\00:18:18.83
BACK THE WINDS OF STRIFE SO
THAT THE GOSPEL CAN GO FORWARD.
00:18:18.86\00:18:22.70
I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT'S
GIVING US THIS WINDOW OF PEACE
00:18:22.73\00:18:25.87
IS THAT THE LORD IS HOLDING BACK
THE WINDS OF STRIFE TO GIVE US
00:18:25.90\00:18:29.37
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE
GOOD NEWS WHILE TIME REMAINS.
00:18:29.40\00:18:32.87
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
I SAW AN INTERESTING FACT.
00:18:32.91\00:18:35.91
YOU KNOW THE WORLD SPENDS OVER
ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AN
00:18:35.94\00:18:39.68
HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES.
00:18:39.71\00:18:44.49
AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE AMERICAN
MILITARY WHAT IT COSTS EVERY
00:18:44.52\00:18:47.56
HOUR AND THE - RUSSIA AND CHINA
AND THESE - A HUNDRED MILLION
00:18:47.59\00:18:50.93
DOLLARS AN HOUR IS
SPENT ON PREPARING FOR THESE.
00:18:50.96\00:18:54.56
NOT ONLY WARS AND RUMORS OF
WARS, THE BIBLE TALKED ABOUT
00:18:54.56\00:18:56.73
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS
PLACES - NOT ONLY EARTHQUAKES -
00:18:56.77\00:19:00.60
EARTHQUAKE - THE ONE THERE
IN 2004 TRIGGERED THE TSUNAMI.
00:19:00.64\00:19:04.87
AND 250,000 PEOPLE PERISHED.
AND EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING, ON
00:19:04.91\00:19:11.68
THE WEST COAST, WHEN IS
THE BIG ONE GOING TO COME?
00:19:11.71\00:19:14.32
AND WE'VE ALREADY SEEN
SOME TERRIBLE CATASTROPHES WITH
00:19:14.35\00:19:17.15
EARTHQUAKES. I SAW A
FACT THAT CAME FROM THE
00:19:17.19\00:19:19.69
GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
AND THE NATIONAL EARTHQUAKE
00:19:19.72\00:19:23.63
INFORMATION CENTER THAT, BETWEEN
2004 AND 2014, 18 EARTHQUAKES
00:19:23.66\00:19:29.60
WITH A MAGNITUDE OF 8.0
OR MORE RATTLED SUBDUCTION
00:19:29.63\00:19:32.70
ZONES AROUND THE GLOBE.
THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 265
00:19:32.73\00:19:36.44
PERCENT OVER THE AVERAGE
RATE OF THE PREVIOUS CENTURY.
00:19:36.47\00:19:40.68
NOW WHILE I TALK ABOUT SIGNS
LIKE WAR AND RUMOR OF WAR AND
00:19:40.71\00:19:45.01
PLAGUES AND EARTHQUAKES, KEEP
IN MIND THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
00:19:45.05\00:19:50.09
THESE THINGS. WHAT
THE LORD IS TALKING ABOUT
00:19:50.12\00:19:53.12
IS WHEN THE FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY INCREASES.
00:19:53.15\00:19:58.53
WHEN KAREN AND I HAD CHILDREN
AND SHE WAS GREAT WITH CHILD
00:19:58.56\00:20:03.53
EVERY NOW AND THEN
SHE'D GET A LABOR PAIN.
00:20:03.57\00:20:05.80
I THINK THEY CALL THE EARLY ONES
BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS OR
00:20:05.83\00:20:09.20
SOMETHING. AND YOU
KNOW YOUR REACTION COULD
00:20:09.24\00:20:13.04
BE, 'OH, I'M FEELING SOMETHING
- WE'LL RUN FOR THE DOCTOR.' AND
00:20:13.07\00:20:16.24
THEY'LL OFTEN SMILE AND SEND
YOU HOME AND SAY, 'FIRST ONE?
00:20:16.28\00:20:19.31
RELAX, YOU'VE GOT A WAYS TO
GO.' AND, YOU KNOW, USUALLY THAT
00:20:19.35\00:20:22.35
NINTH MONTH THEY ARE
READY TO BE DELIVERED.
00:20:22.38\00:20:26.29
THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT BABY.
BUT WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE
00:20:26.32\00:20:30.73
PAINS BEGIN COME CLOSER TOGETHER
WITH MORE FREQUENCY AND THEY
00:20:30.76\00:20:35.93
BECOME MORE INTENSE, THEN YOU
KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A BABY.
00:20:35.96\00:20:42.30
AND, AS YOU NEAR THE END OF
TIME, YOU'LL SEE THE SIGNS THAT
00:20:42.34\00:20:46.24
JESUS TALKED ABOUT - WARS WELL
LAST CENTURY WE HAD TWO WORLD
00:20:46.27\00:20:50.18
WARS. AND IT
ALMOST LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
00:20:50.21\00:20:52.55
ON THE BRINK OF A THIRD,
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING.
00:20:52.58\00:20:54.52
THAT'S NOT A NORMAL WAR.
IT'S A WORLD WAR AND NUCLEAR
00:20:54.55\00:20:58.79
WEAPONS AND ATOMIC BOMBS - AND
THE INTENSITY OF THESE THINGS,
00:20:58.82\00:21:04.09
INCLUDING THE EARTHQUAKES
AND NATURAL DISASTERS.
00:21:04.13\00:21:06.03
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
INCREASE AND INTENSIFY.
00:21:06.06\00:21:08.86
SO THAT'S
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.
00:21:08.90\00:21:10.97
PLAGUES, PESTILENCE
- JESUS TALKED ABOUT.
00:21:11.00\00:21:13.74
I THINK DON'T WE ALL SHUDDER
FROM THE TERRIBLE IMAGES THAT WE
00:21:13.77\00:21:17.07
SAW COMING FROM WEST AFRICA WITH
THE EBOLA BREAK OUT RECENTLY BUT
00:21:17.11\00:21:21.41
THAT'S NOT THE WORST PLAGUE.
LITTLE MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS
00:21:21.44\00:21:24.48
AGO IN 19 - I GUESS A LITTLE
LESS THAN A HUNDRED YEARS AGO -
00:21:24.51\00:21:28.08
IN 1917 - 1918 THEY HAD THE - AN
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC AND YOU KNOW
00:21:28.12\00:21:34.66
THAT IT KILLED MORE
PEOPLE THAN WORLD WAR I?
00:21:34.69\00:21:37.26
ABOUT 40 MILLION PEOPLE
DIED FROM A STRAIN OF THE FLU.
00:21:37.29\00:21:43.03
AND NOW, WITH ALL THE
ANTIBIOTICS, SCIENCE IS TELLING
00:21:43.06\00:21:45.67
US THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF A
VERY RESISTANT STRAIN - A SUPER
00:21:45.70\00:21:50.27
BUG COULD BE SPREAD VERY QUICKLY
CAUSE - I TRAVEL A LOT; YOU GET
00:21:50.31\00:21:55.64
ON THESE AIRPLANES ALL IT TAKES
IS ONE SICK PERSON COUGHING IT'S
00:21:55.68\00:21:58.18
PUMPED THROUGH THE VENTILATION
SYSTEM AND BOY, THE AIRLINE
00:21:58.21\00:22:01.75
INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD IS A
VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO SPREAD THE
00:22:01.78\00:22:05.09
VIRUS AROUND THE WORLD. AND
SO, GOVERNMENTS ARE AWARE OF
00:22:05.12\00:22:08.79
THAT AND THEY ARE VERY CAREFULLY
GUARDING - YOU REMEMBER, WITH
00:22:08.82\00:22:11.43
THE EBOLA - PEOPLE FLYING - THEY
WERE SCREENING EVERYBODY BECAUSE
00:22:11.46\00:22:14.20
THEY COULD SEE HOW QUICKLY THIS
COULD SPREAD. AGAIN, IT'S JUST
00:22:14.20\00:22:17.07
THE GRACE OF GOD THAT'S HOLDING
THESE THINGS BACK RIGHT NOW.
00:22:17.10\00:22:20.70
ONE OF THE SIGNS JESUS GIVES
OF THE LAST DAYS IS VIOLENCE.
00:22:20.74\00:22:24.87
CHRIST SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF NOAH, AND AS IT WAS IN
00:22:24.91\00:22:28.58
THE DAYS OF LOT, SO WILL IT BE
IN THE DAYS WHEN THE SON OF MAN
00:22:28.61\00:22:31.81
RETURNS.' WHAT WAS IT
LIKE BACK IN THE DAYS OF NOAH?
00:22:31.85\00:22:35.08
YOU READ IN GENESIS CHAPTER
6, 'THE THOUGHTS OF MEN'S HEARTS
00:22:35.12\00:22:38.72
WERE ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY AND
VIOLENCE FILLED THE LAND.' THE
00:22:38.75\00:22:44.06
BIBLE TELLS US THAT IT GRIEVED
THE LORD IN HIS HEART THAT HE'D
00:22:44.09\00:22:47.03
EVEN MADE MAN. AND
SO YOU CONSIDER THAT.
00:22:47.10\00:22:50.50
DO WE HAVE THAT KIND OF
VIOLENCE IN THE WORLD TODAY?
00:22:50.53\00:22:53.44
HERE'S AN INTERESTING FACT.
EVERY DAY MORE AMERICAN YOUTH
00:22:53.47\00:22:56.64
DIE IN GANG VIOLENCE
THAN FIGHTING IN FOREIGN WARS.
00:22:56.67\00:23:00.51
I UNDERSTAND THAT 2016 IN
CHICAGO THERE WERE OVER 718
00:23:00.54\00:23:06.72
MURDERS. THAT'S
MORE PEOPLE BEING
00:23:06.75\00:23:11.52
MURDERED IN ONE U.S. CITY.
THAN OUR SOLDIERS WERE SLAIN IN
00:23:11.55\00:23:16.52
THE LAST SIX YEARS FIGHTING
IN THE MIDDLE EAST. VIOLENCE.
00:23:16.56\00:23:22.76
ONE OF THE SIGNS
OF THE LAST DAYS.
00:23:22.80\00:23:24.17
AND, IF YOU DON'T MIND MY JUST
SAYING HERE, I DON'T THINK IT
00:23:24.20\00:23:27.40
SHOULD SURPRISE US WHEN - IF
YOU SCAN THROUGH THE TELEVISION,
00:23:27.44\00:23:31.11
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND PEOPLE
ARE ENTERTAINED BY VIOLENCE.
00:23:31.14\00:23:34.28
AND IF WE'RE ENTERTAINED BY
VIOLENCE WE TEND TO REPRODUCE -
00:23:34.31\00:23:37.75
ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEY SEE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
00:23:37.78\00:23:39.98
OF MURDERS AS THEY GROW
UP AND YOU SORT OF BECOME
00:23:40.02\00:23:42.12
CALLOUS AND INDIFFERENT.
AND THEY SEE ALL THIS SHOOTING
00:23:42.15\00:23:45.52
ON TELEVISION AND THEY DON'T
REALIZE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
00:23:45.55\00:23:47.69
A REAL GUN AND WHAT IT'S GOING
TO DO TO A LIFE AND FICTION.
00:23:47.72\00:23:52.19
AND THERE'S JUST THIS
COLD INDIFFERENCE. IMMORALITY.
00:23:52.23\00:23:58.37
PORN - I SAW STUDY NOT TOO
LONG AGO THAT - IT'S KIND OF
00:23:58.40\00:24:04.87
SHOCKING. 12
PERCENT OF ALL INTERNET
00:24:04.91\00:24:08.18
WEBSITES ARE PORNOGRAPHIC
- AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
00:24:08.21\00:24:11.78
WEBSITES - TWELVE PERCENT.
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF ALL
00:24:11.81\00:24:14.92
INTERNET DOWNLOADS ARE
PORNOGRAPHIC IN CONTENT.
00:24:14.95\00:24:18.65
25 PERCENT OF ONLINE SEARCH
ENGINE REQUESTS ARE RELATED TO
00:24:18.69\00:24:22.49
SEX. FORTY
MILLION AMERICANS CONSIDER
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.49
THEMSELVES REGULAR
VISITORS TO PORN SITES.
00:24:25.53\00:24:28.23
THE AVERAGE AGE FOR THE FIRST
EXPOSURE TO PORN IS 11 YEARS OLD
00:24:28.26\00:24:31.87
- AVERAGE AGE. IT'S
JUST SATURATING OUR SOCIETY
00:24:31.90\00:24:37.71
AND THINGS THAT WERE ONCE
CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, IMMORAL
00:24:37.74\00:24:41.34
IT'S JUST
BECOMING A WAY OF LIFE.
00:24:41.38\00:24:43.81
PEOPLE ARE BECOMING CALLOUSED
TO PURITY THAT GOD IS CALLING US
00:24:43.85\00:24:47.18
TO. AND YOU KNOW
I JUST CAN'T RUSH
00:24:47.22\00:24:49.68
BY THIS WITHOUT MENTIONING
SOMETHING I THINK WE'RE ALL
00:24:49.72\00:24:51.85
AWARE OF, THAT THE BIBLE SAYS
'AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF SODOM,
00:24:51.89\00:24:56.76
SO SHALL IT BE IN THE DAYS WHEN
THE SON OF MAN COMES' - AND I'M,
00:24:56.79\00:25:00.40
FRANKLY, VERY DISAPPOINTED
THAT WE'VE BECOME FUZZY ON THE
00:25:00.43\00:25:04.33
DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN MEN AND
WOMEN WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE.
00:25:04.37\00:25:07.30
I DON'T WANT TO BE UNKIND. I
REALIZE IT'S VERY POLITICALLY
00:25:07.34\00:25:10.37
INCORRECT TO SAY THAT BUT
I'M GOING TO BE HERE AND TELL
00:25:10.41\00:25:13.14
YOU WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS. OVERPOPULATION.
00:25:13.17\00:25:19.01
YOU KNOW I SAW A STUDY - I
ACTUALLY LOOKED IT UP TO CHECK
00:25:19.05\00:25:23.02
MY FACTS TODAY. RIGHT
NOW WE'RE BORDERING ON,
00:25:23.05\00:25:25.72
YOU KNOW, SEVEN AND A HALF
BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
00:25:25.75\00:25:29.46
IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY FIVE
THOUSAND YEARS - I THINK IT WAS
00:25:29.49\00:25:33.53
1829 - THE WORLD GOT THE FIRST
BILLION PEOPLE - 5000 YEARS TO
00:25:33.56\00:25:37.90
GET 1 BILLION. THEN
IT WAS ABOUT 123 YEARS
00:25:37.93\00:25:41.37
AFTER THAT JUST 123 YEAR
TO GET THE SECOND BILLION.
00:25:41.40\00:25:45.14
THEN ABOUT 30 YEARS AFTER
THAT TO GET THE THIRD BILLION.
00:25:45.17\00:25:48.44
I REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE ONLY
3 BILLION PEOPLE AND I'M NOT
00:25:48.48\00:25:50.68
THAT OLD - IN THE WORLD - AND IN
MY LIFE THE WORLD POPULATION HAS
00:25:50.71\00:25:55.92
MORE THAN DOUBLED FROM 3
BILLION TO 7 SOMETHING BILLION.
00:25:55.95\00:26:00.82
THERE'S ACTUALLY A WEBSITE YOU
CAN GO TO AND IT WILL CLOCK FOR
00:26:00.86\00:26:03.93
YOU HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING BORN
- HOW QUICKLY - IT'S KIND OF
00:26:03.96\00:26:06.53
STAGGERING TO JUST SIT THERE AND
LOOK THAT - HOW MANY PEOPLE - 90
00:26:06.56\00:26:10.00
MILLION PEOPLE ARE BEING ADDED
TO THE WORLD'S POPULATION EVERY
00:26:10.03\00:26:13.70
YEAR - 90 MILLION PEOPLE -
THAT'S INCLUDING THE ONES YOU
00:26:13.74\00:26:16.81
DEDUCT FOR DEATH 90 MILLION NEW
PEOPLE DRAWING ON THE RESOURCES
00:26:16.84\00:26:22.41
OF THE PLANET. KAREN AND
I'VE BEEN TO CHINA A FEW TIMES.
00:26:22.44\00:26:26.58
LET ME TELL YOU THERE
ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN CHINA.
00:26:26.61\00:26:29.18
I REMEMBER IN SHANGHAI -
I GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY -
00:26:29.22\00:26:31.32
THAT'S A BUSY CITY AND IT'S A
VERY POPULATED CITY, BUT I GOT
00:26:31.35\00:26:36.99
TO CHINA I FEEL LIKE I WAS
DRIVING THROUGH NEW YORK CITY
00:26:37.03\00:26:39.86
DOWNTOWN FOR AN HOUR AND IT
NEVER STOPPED - LIKE 24 MILLION
00:26:39.89\00:26:44.33
PEOPLE - THIS ONE CITY BUT IT'S
GROWING. AND THIS JUST TELLS US
00:26:44.37\00:26:50.01
IT CAN'T LAST FOREVER.
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID 'EXCEPT
00:26:50.04\00:26:52.84
THOSE DAYS BE SHORTENED NO FLESH
WOULD BE SAVED; BUT FOR THE
00:26:52.87\00:26:56.01
ELECT'S SAKE THOSE
D'AYS WILL BE SHORTENED.
00:26:56.04\00:26:58.05
IN OTHER WORDS, IF HE DID NOT
COME ON TIME AND IF HE DOESN'T
00:26:58.08\00:27:00.72
CUT IT SHORT,
NOBODY WOULD SURVIVE.
00:27:00.75\00:27:02.65
>>AMEN. >>SO THE
LORD HAS TO COME SOON
00:27:02.68\00:27:05.05
OR THERE'LL BE
NOTHING TO COME FOR.
00:27:05.09\00:27:07.26
AND ANOTHER REASON I THINK
IS COMING SOON IS EVERYBODY IS
00:27:07.29\00:27:10.06
GOING TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
COMING WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD JUST
00:27:10.09\00:27:12.89
SORT OF BEGINS
TO SWALLOW ITSELF.
00:27:12.93\00:27:15.03
BUT IT MAY BE A LITTLE BEFORE
THAT BECAUSE HE SAID IN SUCH AN
00:27:15.06\00:27:18.13
HOUR YOU THINK NOT THE
SON OF MAN IS COMING. (MUSIC)
