>>THIS PRESENTATION IS
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.77
OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.80\00:00:06.30
>> THE GREAT BASIN BRISTLE
CONE PINE IS ONE OF THE LONGEST
00:00:10.41\00:00:13.31
LIVING ORGANISMS ON
EARTH. INCREDIBLY, IT CAN LIVE
00:00:13.34\00:00:17.05
MORE THAN 4,000 YEARS. IN
FACT, ONE SPECIMEN, CALLED
00:00:17.08\00:00:21.52
THE METHUSELAH TREE, IN THE
WHITE MOUNTAINS OF CALIFORNIA,
00:00:21.55\00:00:24.22
IS BELIEVED TO BE OVER 4,700
YEARS OLD AND IT'S AMONG THE
00:00:24.25\00:00:28.86
OLDEST LIVING
TREES ON THE PLANET.
00:00:28.89\00:00:31.56
THIS TREE WAS AROUND WHEN
THE EGYPTIANS WERE BUILDING THE
00:00:31.59\00:00:34.13
PYRAMIDS. SOME OF
THESE ANCIENT EVERGREENS
00:00:34.20\00:00:37.10
FOUND ON LONELY MOUNTAINTOPS
HAVE WEATHERED THOUSANDS OF
00:00:37.13\00:00:40.14
YEARS OF INTENSE FREEZING WIND,
POUNDING RAIN, SCORCHING SUN,
00:00:40.17\00:00:44.97
AND VIOLENT ELECTRICAL STORMS.
HOW HAVE THEY MANAGED TO SURVIVE
00:00:45.01\00:00:48.58
FOR MILLENNIA OF SUCH HARSH
WEATHER AND ADVERSE CONDITIONS?
00:00:48.61\00:00:53.11
THEY DO IT BY SENDING THEIR
ROOTS DEEP AND WRAPPING THEM
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.95
TENACIOUSLY AROUND THE
SOLID ROCK AND HANGING ON.
00:00:55.98\00:00:59.59
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, JESUS
TELLS US THAT THERE'S A TIME OF
00:00:59.62\00:01:02.09
TRIBULATION COMING JUST
BEFORE HIS RETURN - AN INTENSE
00:01:02.12\00:01:05.56
FRIGHTFUL STORM OF TROUBLE
UNLIKE ANYTHING WE'VE EVER SEEN.
00:01:05.59\00:01:09.90
IS YOUR LIFE ANCHORED ON
THE SOLID ROCK OF CHRIST?
00:01:09.93\00:01:13.34
LET'S EXPLORE TOGETHER, FROM
THE BIBLE, JUST WHAT WILL HAPPEN
00:01:13.37\00:01:16.54
IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:01:16.57\00:01:18.57
>>YOU KNOW IT'S VERY
INTERESTING THAT THEY HAVE
00:01:22.58\00:01:26.21
SO MANY PROGRAMS NOW
THAT ARE DEALING WITH
00:01:26.25\00:01:28.12
THE SUBJECT OF PREPPERS.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC HAS A
00:01:28.15\00:01:32.49
PROGRAM THAT SPECIFICALLY
TALKS ABOUT DOOMSDAY PREPPERS
00:01:32.52\00:01:36.73
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WONDERING WHAT'S COMING.
00:01:36.76\00:01:39.86
AND SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN RELIGIOUS.
00:01:39.89\00:01:42.53
THEY JUST SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THE WORLD, THEY'RE WORRIED
00:01:42.56\00:01:44.70
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, THEY'RE
WORRIED ABOUT A NATURAL DISASTER
00:01:44.73\00:01:47.97
- THEY SAY 'WHAT WILL WE DO
IF AN ASTEROID STRIKES OR IF
00:01:48.00\00:01:51.04
THERE'S A TSUNAMI OR IF
THERE'S A SOCIAL MELTDOWN?'
00:01:51.07\00:01:54.51
OTHERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT
ARMAGEDDON AND THERE'S MORE
00:01:54.54\00:01:56.81
RELIGIOUS
OVERTONES TO THEIR FEAR.
00:01:56.85\00:01:59.65
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORRIED
- HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD ABOUT
00:01:59.68\00:02:02.18
FOLKS THAT ARE PREPPERS WHO ARE
TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE LAST
00:02:02.22\00:02:04.75
DAYS AND THEY'RE - THEY'RE
STORING UP BUCKETS OF BEANS AND
00:02:04.79\00:02:07.99
THEY'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SOLAR
ELECTRIC AND ALL THESE THINGS
00:02:08.02\00:02:11.23
AND IT'S NOT
NECESSARILY A BAD THING.
00:02:11.26\00:02:13.80
KAREN AND I'VE HAD A CABIN IN
THE HILLS FOR 40 YEARS NOW AND I
00:02:13.83\00:02:16.93
THINK 35 YEARS WE'VE BEEN OFF
THE GRID AND IT'S JUST BECAUSE
00:02:16.97\00:02:20.80
THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY NEARBY.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING
00:02:20.84\00:02:24.77
THIS BECAUSE THEY THINK 'WHEN
THERE IS THIS MAJOR MELTDOWN WE
00:02:24.81\00:02:29.91
SOMEHOW WILL SURVIVE.' NOW
FOR YEARS FOLKS HAVE ACTED LIKE
00:02:29.94\00:02:33.88
'WELL THIS IS JUST A
FRINGE GROUP THAT'S WORRIED
00:02:33.92\00:02:36.69
ABOUT THAT.' BUT IT'S
NOW GOING BEYOND THAT.
00:02:36.72\00:02:39.95
I THINK IT WAS JUST LAST WEEK
WALL STREET JOURNAL PUBLISHED AN
00:02:39.99\00:02:43.29
ARTICLE THAT NOW THERE IS
ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THESE MEGA
00:02:43.32\00:02:48.26
MILLIONAIRES HAVE A PLAN OR
A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN PROTECT
00:02:48.30\00:02:53.64
THEMSELVES IN THE EVENT
OF SOME SOCIAL MELTDOWN.
00:02:53.67\00:02:58.71
YOU CAN SEE DOOMSDAY
PREP FOR THE SUPER RICH.
00:02:58.74\00:03:03.35
THEY BOUGHT THESE
DEACTIVATED MISSILE SILOS.
00:03:03.38\00:03:07.98
YOU'VE HEARD OF SKYSCRAPERS
THAT GO UP IN THE AIR?
00:03:08.02\00:03:10.62
THESE GO DOWN IN THE
GROUND AND THEY HAVE ROOMS.
00:03:10.65\00:03:14.79
AND IT'S THREE MILLION
DOLLARS FOR A LEVEL AND THEY ARE
00:03:14.82\00:03:18.23
SELLING OUT. BECAUSE
THESE MEGA MILLIONAIRES
00:03:18.26\00:03:21.36
AND BILLIONAIRES THEY'RE BUYING
SECURE SPOTS THEY'VE GOT THEIR
00:03:21.40\00:03:23.97
OWN WATER SYSTEM PURIFICATION,
AIR PURIFICATION, HYDROPONIC
00:03:24.00\00:03:29.37
FARMING - THEY GOT THE SWIMMING
POOL, THEY'VE GOT A THEATER
00:03:29.40\00:03:34.88
FOR 17 PEOPLE, THEY'VE GOT
A PHARMACY, A JAIL AND THIS IS
00:03:34.91\00:03:38.75
ALL BEING BUILT BELOW GROUND.
YOU KNOW, THEY THOUGHT, IF
00:03:38.78\00:03:42.78
ANYBODY KIND OF GETS
ODD, THEY'VE GOT THE JAIL.
00:03:42.82\00:03:45.75
TILL THEY COOL OFF BECAUSE YOU
KNOW IF YOU GET COOPED UP WITH A
00:03:45.79\00:03:48.42
BUNCH OF TYPE X MILLIONAIRES
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
00:03:48.46\00:03:51.69
SO IT'S NOT JUST FRINGE GROUPS
THAT ARE THINKING ABOUT SOME
00:03:51.73\00:03:56.26
KIND OF CATASTROPHE THAT SEEMS
TO BE LOOMING ON THE HORIZON.
00:03:56.30\00:04:00.57
HEDGE FUNDS MANAGERS
MULTI-MILLIONAIRES AND
00:04:00.60\00:04:04.17
BILLIONAIRES FROM
SILICON VALLEY, THEY ARE MAKING
00:04:04.21\00:04:07.48
PREPARATIONS FOR WHAT THEY THINK
IS GOING TO BE INEVITABLE ONE
00:04:07.51\00:04:11.18
WAY OR THE OTHER AND YOU -
YOU CONSIDER WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:04:11.21\00:04:13.88
STUDY TONIGHT
AND YOU'LL SEE WHY.
00:04:13.92\00:04:15.62
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
TONIGHT ABOUT SIGNS OF JESUS
00:04:15.65\00:04:19.82
COMING. THE SECOND
COMING OF CHRIST IS
00:04:19.85\00:04:21.92
WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THE PINNACLE
OR THE HIGH POINT OF PROPHECY.
00:04:21.96\00:04:26.46
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH
SORT OF A QUESTION AND ANSWER
00:04:26.49\00:04:28.90
METHOD THAT JUST
HELPS ME STAY ON TRACK.
00:04:28.93\00:04:31.37
AND SO IT CREATES AN
OUTLINE FOR OUR STUDY.
00:04:31.40\00:04:34.60
FIRST QUESTION IS: WHAT IS
ONE OF THE CENTRAL TEACHINGS IN
00:04:34.64\00:04:37.74
REVELATION? NOW YOU
MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTES.
00:04:37.77\00:04:40.88
WE'VE MENTIONED THAT THERE'S
SOME SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL THAT
00:04:40.91\00:04:43.61
YOU CAN GET TO GO ALONG
WITH THESE PRESENTATIONS BUT I'M
00:04:43.65\00:04:47.88
GOING TO GIVE YOU A FEW OF THE
SCRIPTURES JUST FROM REVELATION
00:04:47.92\00:04:50.39
SO YOU'LL KNOW THAT THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS IS NOT AN
00:04:50.42\00:04:53.42
AFTERTHOUGHT IN THE LAST
BOOK OF BIBLE - OF THE BIBLE.
00:04:53.46\00:04:57.53
FOR INSTANCE: REVELATION
1, VERSE 7 - FIRST CHAPTER -
00:04:57.56\00:05:00.60
"BEHOLD HE'S COMING WITH THE
CLOUDS AND EVERY EYE WILL SEE
00:05:00.63\00:05:04.10
HIM. EVEN THOSE
WHO PIERCED HIM."
00:05:04.13\00:05:07.54
- YOU CAN READ REVELATION 14:14,
"I LOOKED AND BEHOLD A WHITE
00:05:07.57\00:05:10.84
CLOUD AND UPON THE CLOUD ONE SAT
LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN HAVING
00:05:10.87\00:05:15.61
ON HIS HEAD A GOLDEN
CROWN." AGAIN TALKING ABOUT
00:05:15.64\00:05:19.41
THE SECOND COMING.
SOMEONE ON THE CLOUDS COMING -
00:05:19.45\00:05:21.85
JESUS IS COMING IN THE CLOUDS.
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 22,
00:05:21.88\00:05:25.52
VERSE 7 HE SAID,
"BEHOLD I AM COMING QUICKLY.
00:05:25.55\00:05:29.02
BLESSED IS HE WHO KEEPS THE
WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS
00:05:29.06\00:05:32.29
BOOK." NOW THAT'S THE LAST
CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE BUT WE'RE
00:05:32.33\00:05:35.10
NOT DONE YET. YOU GO
TO REVELATION CHAPTER 22,
00:05:35.13\00:05:37.50
VERSE 20, "HE WHO TESTIFIES
OF THESE THINGS SAYS, 'SURELY
00:05:37.53\00:05:41.50
I AM COMING' - HOW? >>QUICKLY.
00:05:41.54\00:05:43.97
>>QUICKLY. NOTICE HE'S COMING
QUICKLY, QUICKLY - AND YOU'RE
00:05:44.01\00:05:46.74
PROBABLY THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG,
JOHN WROTE THAT 2000 YEARS AGO.
00:05:46.78\00:05:51.81
GOD'S IDEA OF QUICKLY AND
MY IDEA OF QUICKLY ARE NOT THE
00:05:51.85\00:05:53.88
SAME.' (LAUGHTER) I
MEAN WE WANT FAST FOOD.
00:05:53.92\00:05:56.85
WE THINK OUR
MICROWAVES ARE TOO SLOW, RIGHT?
00:05:56.89\00:06:00.76
SO WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?
WELL STAY WITH US AND WE'LL TALK
00:06:00.79\00:06:03.69
ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
HE WHO TESTIFIED OF THESE THINGS
00:06:03.73\00:06:07.23
SAID, "'SURELY I AM
COMING QUICKLY, AMEN.'
00:06:07.30\00:06:10.00
EVEN SO, COME, LORD
JESUS." ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
00:06:10.03\00:06:13.20
TEACHINGS OF THE BOOK. SO
WITH THAT IN MIND THAT THE
00:06:13.23\00:06:16.74
LORD SAYS HE IS COMING AND THAT
HE'S COMING QUICKLY, WHAT CAN WE
00:06:16.77\00:06:21.08
KNOW ABOUT THE
TIME OF JESUS' RETURN?
00:06:21.11\00:06:24.85
NOW THIS IS WHERE
YOU'VE GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL.
00:06:24.88\00:06:27.38
AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
CAREFULLY TO WHAT I'M SHARING.
00:06:27.42\00:06:29.92
WE CAN KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE
LORD COMING SOON, BUT BE VERY
00:06:29.95\00:06:33.89
CAREFUL ABOUT A GROUP THAT IS
GIVING YOU A DATE FOR THE LORD'S
00:06:33.92\00:06:36.93
RETURN. MATTHEW 24,
JESUS SAID, SPEAKING
00:06:36.96\00:06:40.16
OF HIS SECOND COMING,
"BUT OF THAT DAY AND THAT HOUR
00:06:40.20\00:06:43.77
KNOWS" - HOW MANY PEOPLE?
- "NO MAN" - NOT EVEN THE
00:06:43.80\00:06:47.34
ANGELS, BUT MY FATHER ONLY."
I'M SURE JESUS IS IN HEAVEN - HE
00:06:47.37\00:06:51.41
KNOWS NOW, BUT WHEN CHRIST WAS
ON THE - I MEAN, I DOUBT THAT
00:06:51.44\00:06:53.98
THE FATHER IS SAYING, 'OH, I
KNOW THE DATE BUT I CAN'T TRUST
00:06:54.01\00:06:56.58
YOU WITH IT.' BUT WHEN JESUS
WAS ON THE EARTH HE SAID, 'I
00:06:56.61\00:06:59.41
DON'T EVEN KNOW THE
DATE. MY FATHER ONLY KNOWS IT.
00:06:59.45\00:07:03.02
SO WHEN SOMEONE STARTS TO
PRESUME TO TELL YOU, 'I'VE
00:07:03.05\00:07:05.52
FIGURED IT OUT. I DID THE MATH.
00:07:05.55\00:07:07.19
I KNOW THE DAY AND THE HOUR OF
JESUS' COMING' - THIS GENTLEMAN
00:07:07.22\00:07:11.03
HERE, HAROLD
CAMPING, A VERY SINCERE MAN.
00:07:11.06\00:07:14.20
I DON'T QUESTION THAT. HE
WAS THE PRESIDENT AND ONE OF
00:07:14.20\00:07:16.67
THE FOUNDERS OF FAMILY RADIO.
THEY HAVE SOME GREAT CHRISTIAN
00:07:16.70\00:07:19.33
MUSIC - BUT I THINK MOST OF US
REMEMBER WHEN, A FEW YEARS AGO,
00:07:19.37\00:07:23.17
HE FORETOLD - I THINK IT WAS
2011 - THAT WAS THE SECOND OR
00:07:23.20\00:07:26.17
THIRD TIME HE PICKED A
DATE FOR THE SECOND COMING.
00:07:26.21\00:07:28.64
MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF HIS
DATES WAS, I THINK, 1994 OR 96 -
00:07:28.68\00:07:32.95
I DON'T REMEMBER - I WAS DOING
A SEMINAR AND, AGAIN, HE HAD
00:07:32.98\00:07:36.15
PICKED THE DATE AND IT REALLY
HELPED THE ATTENDANCE OF MY
00:07:36.18\00:07:38.09
SEMINAR. (LAUGHTER) BUT,
OF COURSE, JESUS DIDN'T COME.
00:07:38.12\00:07:41.76
AND I'VE ALWAYS MADE IT VERY
CLEAR THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT.
00:07:41.79\00:07:45.29
HE HAD A BIG DATE FOR MAY 11 -
OR MAY 21, 2011 AND WE ACTUALLY
00:07:45.33\00:07:50.20
INTERVIEWED HIM.
WE WERE ON FOX NEWS IN
00:07:50.23\00:07:54.07
SACRAMENTO BECAUSE I MADE AN
OFFER - HE HAD A GREAT NETWORK
00:07:54.10\00:07:58.21
OF RADIO STATIONS; WE SAID,
WE'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS
00:07:58.24\00:08:01.04
FOR YOUR RADIO STATIONS.
YOU CAN USE NOW, BUT IF JESUS
00:08:01.08\00:08:03.71
DOESN'T COME YOU SIGN THEM OVER
TO US' - AND HE DIDN'T DO IT.
00:08:03.75\00:08:07.62
(LAUGHTER) AND SINCE THEN HE'S -
YEAH, HE WAS SINCERE - HE HAD A
00:08:07.65\00:08:12.72
STROKE SHORTLY
AFTER JESUS DIDN'T COME.
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.89
I THINK HE WAS DEVASTATED.
HE REALLY BELIEVED IT, BUT IT
00:08:14.92\00:08:16.99
MESSED UP A LOT OF
PEOPLE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.96
IT MADE
CHRISTIANITY LOSE CREDIBILITY.
00:08:18.99\00:08:21.63
THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT TO
BE CAREFUL ABOUT PEOPLE JUST
00:08:21.66\00:08:24.37
CONTINUALLY SETTING DATES
AND THEN IT'S THE NEXT DATE, AND
00:08:24.40\00:08:26.84
THEN IT'S THE NEXT THING.
I THINK WE NEED TO LIVE IN A
00:08:26.87\00:08:29.27
STATE OF EXPECTANCY BECAUSE,
IN REALITY, AS FAR AS YOU'RE
00:08:29.30\00:08:33.94
CONCERNED, IF YOU DIE YOUR
NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS THE
00:08:33.98\00:08:37.01
RESURRECTION AND THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:08:37.05\00:08:39.18
>>AMEN! >>HE COULD COME
00:08:39.21\00:08:40.52
FOR YOU VERY SOON. AND
EVEN IF YOU LIVE 90 OR 100 -
00:08:40.55\00:08:45.39
200 YEARS, WHAT'S
THAT COMPARED TO ETERNITY?
00:08:45.42\00:08:49.12
OUR LIVES ARE PRETTY SHORT.
THE BIBLE SAYS A DAY WITH THE
00:08:49.16\00:08:51.89
LORD IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS.
NOW, JESUS DID TELL US WE DON'T
00:08:51.93\00:08:56.06
KNOW THE DAY OR HOUR BUT
WE CAN KNOW WHEN IT'S NEAR.
00:08:56.10\00:08:59.80
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 33, HE SAID,
"WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE THINGS
00:08:59.83\00:09:05.47
KNOW THAT IT IS"
- WHAT? - IT'S NEAR.
00:09:05.51\00:09:08.31
SO JESUS GAVE US SIGNS.
HE SAID, 'LIFT UP YOUR HEADS
00:09:08.34\00:09:10.71
WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS.'
HE WANTS US TO BE WATCHING.
00:09:10.75\00:09:13.75
FIVE TIMES IN MARK 13, WHEN
JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE SECOND
00:09:13.78\00:09:16.28
COMING, HE SAYS, 'WATCH
WATCH WATCH.' ACTUALLY IT'S FOUR
00:09:16.32\00:09:20.59
TIMES, BUT HE
WANTS US TO BE WATCHING.
00:09:20.62\00:09:22.72
HE SAID 'LEST COMING SUDDENLY HE
FINDS YOU SLEEPING.' AND THEN HE
00:09:22.76\00:09:26.26
GIVES THE PARABLE OF THE VIRGINS
WAITING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM.
00:09:26.29\00:09:29.73
THEY FALL ASLEEP
AND THEY'RE NOT READY.
00:09:29.76\00:09:31.53
AND SO HE WANTS US TO BE
THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND
00:09:31.57\00:09:34.07
SO WHEN YOU COME TO A PROGRAM
LIKE THIS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE
00:09:34.10\00:09:37.31
RETURN OF THE LORD - AND
THE CLOSING PROMISE IN THE BIBLE
00:09:37.34\00:09:41.08
TALKS ABOUT 'EVEN SO COME LORD
JESUS,' IT IS A GOOD THING FOR
00:09:41.11\00:09:44.61
CHRISTIANS TO TALK
ABOUT JESUS COMING BACK.
00:09:44.65\00:09:46.78
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:09:46.82\00:09:48.12
>>IT'S A GOOD THING.
DON'T SET DATES, BUT HE WANTS
00:09:48.15\00:09:50.25
US TO BE LOOKING AT
THAT. SO, IS HE COMING SOON?
00:09:50.29\00:09:56.26
LET ME GIVE YOU A BROAD IDEA
OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCOPE OF
00:09:56.29\00:09:59.86
HISTORY. THE
BIBLE SORT OF OUTLINES
00:09:59.89\00:10:02.96
HISTORY FROM - IN THREE GREAT
EPOCHS. YOU'VE GOT - FROM THE
00:10:03.00\00:10:07.20
TIME OF ADAM TO
ABRAHAM IS ABOUT 2000 YEARS.
00:10:07.24\00:10:11.97
WE DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT DATE FOR CREATION.
00:10:12.01\00:10:15.34
AMAZING FACTS SPENT A LOT
OF TIME DEVELOPING A BIBLE
00:10:15.38\00:10:17.71
CHRONOLOGY TIMELINE JUST ADDING
UP THE AGES IN THE BIBLE JUST TO
00:10:17.75\00:10:21.45
KNOW WHEN, YOU KNOW, DAVID LIVED
IN RELATION TO SAMSON AND THOSE
00:10:21.48\00:10:24.25
THINGS, AND WHEN IT GOT BACK TO
THE TIME OF ADAM AND CREATION,
00:10:24.29\00:10:27.56
YOU COULD JUST MAKE AN EDUCATED
GUESS AND EVEN IF YOU KNEW THE
00:10:27.59\00:10:30.43
DATE THAT WOULD NOT BE THE
WAY TO PICK A DAY FOR THE SECOND
00:10:30.46\00:10:33.66
COMING. JUST LOOKING AT THE
00:10:33.70\00:10:35.26
SCOPE OF HISTORY. ADAM
WAS BORN - YOU DON'T REALLY
00:10:35.30\00:10:38.60
SAY BORN, HE WAS CREATED
- ABOUT 4004 B.C., SOMEWHERE
00:10:38.63\00:10:42.90
AROUND THERE. 2000
YEARS LATER ABRAHAM'S BORN.
00:10:42.94\00:10:46.98
FOR THE FIRST 2000 YEARS GOD
SHARES THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE
00:10:47.01\00:10:50.05
PATRIARCHS. THEY WERE NOT JEWS.
THEY WERE PEOPLE LIKE ADAM AND
00:10:50.08\00:10:54.55
SETH AND NOAH - METHUSELAH -
SO FORTH - ENOCH - GODLY PEOPLE.
00:10:54.58\00:10:59.72
AND THEN FROM THE TIME OF
ABRAHAM, THEN GOD SHARED THE
00:10:59.75\00:11:02.86
GOSPEL FOR ANOTHER 2000 YEARS
ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE HEBREW
00:11:02.89\00:11:07.03
PEOPLE - THE JEWISH PEOPLE -
AND JESUS WAS BORN ABOUT 4 B.C.
00:11:07.03\00:11:12.03
NOW I KNOW THAT CONFUSES PEOPLE.
THEY SAY, 'I THOUGHT JESUS WAS
00:11:12.07\00:11:15.87
BORN ZERO.' AND THAT'S
WHY WE SAY, YOU KNOW, 4 B.C.
00:11:15.90\00:11:19.37
IS BEFORE CHRIST. WHEN
THEY DEVELOPED THAT DATING
00:11:19.41\00:11:21.84
METHOD, THEY DID AN
EDUCATED GUESS ABOUT WHEN THEY
00:11:21.88\00:11:24.31
THOUGHT JESUS WAS BORN.
THEY FIXED THAT AS THE YEAR
00:11:24.35\00:11:26.72
ZERO, THEN YEARS LATER
THEY FOUND OUT THAT KING HEROD
00:11:26.75\00:11:30.19
THE GREAT DIED ABOUT 2 B.C.
WE KNOW HE'S THE ONE WHO TRIED
00:11:30.22\00:11:34.16
TO KILL ALL THE
BABIES IN BETHLEHEM.
00:11:34.19\00:11:35.72
JESUS MUST HAVE BEEN ALIVE
THEN. WE REALIZED JESUS WAS
00:11:35.76\00:11:38.73
BAPTIZED IN 27 A.D. HE
WAS BAPTIZED ON HIS 30TH
00:11:38.76\00:11:43.40
BIRTHDAY, THE BIBLE SAYS.
YOU COUNT BACKWARDS AND WE
00:11:43.43\00:11:46.13
REALIZE THEY GOT THAT
A.D. B.C. DATING METHOD WRONG -
00:11:46.17\00:11:49.70
ABOUT 4 YEARS. BUT -
SO THEN YOU'VE GOT 2000
00:11:49.74\00:11:53.14
YEARS FROM ADAM TO ABRAHAM, 2000
YEARS FROM ABRAHAM TO CHRIST.
00:11:53.17\00:11:57.41
THEN, FOR THE NEXT 2000 YEARS,
WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR DAY - THE
00:11:57.45\00:12:02.05
GOSPEL'S BEING PREACHED THROUGH
SPIRITUAL ISRAEL - OR THE
00:12:02.08\00:12:04.55
CHURCH. AND THEN,
AFTER YOU GET FROM
00:12:04.59\00:12:08.02
THAT - AND, OF COURSE, WE'RE
LIVING NOW IN THE SPACE AGE -
00:12:08.06\00:12:11.26
YOU KNOW WE'RE LIVING
RIGHT NOW EXACTLY 2000 YEARS
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.36
FROM THE LIFE OF JESUS.
WE'RE LIVING 2000 YEARS FROM
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.40
BETWEEN WHEN HE WAS
BORN AND WHEN HE DIED.
00:12:17.43\00:12:20.47
AND SO IT IS AN
INTERESTING TIME IN HISTORY.
00:12:20.50\00:12:24.27
AND THEN YOU READ IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 20, IT TALKS ABOUT A
00:12:24.31\00:12:27.54
THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD AT THE
END OF THIS SIX THOUSAND YEAR OF
00:12:27.58\00:12:30.81
BIBLE HISTORY - TALKING ABOUT
THE BIBLE AGES - FOR A TOTAL OF
00:12:30.85\00:12:34.52
7000, WHICH IS KIND
OF AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:12:34.55\00:12:37.85
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS 'A DAY
WITH THE LORD IS LIKE A THOUSAND
00:12:37.89\00:12:40.52
YEARS AND A THOUSAND YEARS LIKE
A DAY.' GOD SEEMS TO WORK ON A
00:12:40.56\00:12:43.63
PATTERN IN THE BIBLE WHERE YOU
WORK SIX DAYS AND YOU REST ONE.
00:12:43.66\00:12:46.83
AND HERE YOU'VE GOT LIKE SIX
THOUSAND YEARS FOR THE PLAN OF
00:12:46.86\00:12:49.43
SALVATION. HERE WE
ARE NEAR THE END OF THAT
00:12:49.46\00:12:51.00
PERIOD AND THEN A THOUSAND YEARS
- IT SAYS THE SAINTS LIVE AND
00:12:51.03\00:12:53.87
REIGN WITH CHRIST - IT'S
ALMOST LIKE A THOUSAND-YEAR
00:12:53.90\00:12:55.67
SABBATH, IF YOU WILL. SO
JUST KIND OF GIVE THIS TO YOU
00:12:55.70\00:12:59.64
IN - IN YOUR MIND HERE I'LL PUT
A CHART UP HERE YOU'VE GOT THESE
00:12:59.67\00:13:03.18
THREE EPOCHS YOU GET 2000 YEARS
OF THE PATRIARCHS, 2000 YEARS
00:13:03.21\00:13:08.42
OF THE JEWS, 2000 YEARS OF THE
CHURCH - OR SPIRITUAL ISRAEL -
00:13:08.45\00:13:12.42
THEN A THOUSAND YEARS WHERE
WE LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST.
00:13:12.45\00:13:15.52
WE'RE LIVING RIGHT AT THAT TIME
THAT WOULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST.
00:13:15.56\00:13:20.30
I FRANKLY THINK THAT WE'RE
LIVING IN THE GENERATION THAT'S
00:13:20.33\00:13:23.26
GOING TO SEE THE CULMINATION
OF ALL THAT'S BEEN FORETOLD.
00:13:23.30\00:13:26.17
I KNOW WHAT SOME
OF YOU ARE THINKING.
00:13:26.20\00:13:27.77
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU PASTORS HAVE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT JESUS COMING
00:13:27.80\00:13:31.14
AGAIN NOW FOR THOUSANDS OF
YEARS, AND IT HASN'T COME YET.'
00:13:31.17\00:13:36.18
WHEN HE DOES COME
YOU'LL THINK IT'S TOO SOON.
00:13:36.21\00:13:40.52
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ONE
OF THESE DAYS ONE OF US IS GOING
00:13:40.55\00:13:42.78
TO BE RIGHT. HE
IS GOING TO COME.
00:13:42.82\00:13:45.52
>> DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:13:46.76\00:13:48.06
IN JUST A MOMENT,
WE'LL RETURN FOR THE
00:13:48.09\00:13:49.92

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE
PROPHETIC SIGNS OF CHRIST'S
00:13:52.66\00:13:55.13
RETURN AND JUST HOW
CLOSE WE REALLY ARE TO THE MOST
00:13:55.16\00:13:58.63
EXTRAORDINARY
COSMIC EVENT IN HISTORY?
00:13:58.67\00:14:02.10
WILL WE BE SUDDENLY
AND SECRETLY RAPTURED AS
00:14:02.14\00:14:04.57
MILLIONS ARE LEFT BEHIND?
00:14:04.61\00:14:06.57
OR WILL JESUS'S RETURN BE
AS LOUD AND BRIGHT AS LIGHTNING
00:14:06.61\00:14:10.55
FROM SKY TO SKY?
00:14:10.58\00:14:12.41
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A MILLION
DIFFERENT THEORIES OUT THERE,
00:14:12.45\00:14:14.72
BUT THERE'S ONLY BIBLE
TRUTH, AND JESUS PROMISES
00:14:14.75\00:14:18.79
IF WE SEEK, WE WILL FIND.

00:14:52.25\00:14:55.19
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:55.22\00:14:57.53
>>KEEP IN MIND GOD TOLD ABRAHAM
00:14:59.83\00:15:02.23
THAT THROUGH HIS DESCENDANTS
THE MESSIAH WOULD COME.
00:15:02.26\00:15:05.17
EVERY JEWISH GIRL HOPED
THAT SHE WOULD BE THE MOTHER
00:15:05.20\00:15:07.34
OF THE MESSIAH. 100 YEARS
WENT BY 200 YEARS WENT BY.
00:15:07.37\00:15:13.01
THEY KEPT SAYING 'HE'S COMING
HE'S COMING.' 'THE MESSIAH IS
00:15:13.04\00:15:15.08
COMING.' 500 YEARS WENT BY
- 1000 YEARS WENT BY AND THEY
00:15:15.11\00:15:20.15
STARTED LOSING FAITH.
'YEAH, THEY SAY THE MESSIAH IS
00:15:20.18\00:15:22.12
COMING.' FINALLY WHEN
JESUS DID COME, 2000 YEARS
00:15:22.15\00:15:25.55
LATER WERE THEY READY? >>NO.
00:15:25.59\00:15:28.06
>>COULD THAT
HAPPEN AGAIN? >>YES.
00:15:28.09\00:15:30.29
>>THEY WERE ON THAT TIME.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS
00:15:30.33\00:15:33.56
OF THE NEARNESS OF
CHRIST? THERE'S OUR QUESTION
00:15:33.60\00:15:37.13
NUMBER THREE. NOW, IF
YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIBLES
00:15:37.17\00:15:39.07
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
BROUGHT A BIBLE WITH YOU BUT
00:15:39.10\00:15:40.87
I'LL READ IT TO YOU. IF
YOU GO TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 24
00:15:40.90\00:15:44.11
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT SIGNS
OF THE SECOND COMING: "YOU WILL
00:15:44.14\00:15:48.21
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
SEE THAT YOU'RE NOT TROUBLED.
00:15:48.24\00:15:52.15
ALL THESE THINGS
MUST COME TO PASS."
00:15:52.18\00:15:54.08
HE SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE
WAR BUT A WAR IS NOT A SIGN -
00:15:54.12\00:15:56.35
THERE'S BEEN WARS ALL
ALONG - "THE END IS NOT YET.
00:15:56.38\00:15:59.32
NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION
AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM AND
00:15:59.35\00:16:03.12
THERE WILL BE FAMINES AND
PESTILENCE" - THOSE ARE PLAGUES
00:16:03.16\00:16:05.73
- "AND
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES.
00:16:05.76\00:16:08.30
ALL THESE ARE AT THE BEGINNING
OF SORROWS THEN THEY WILL
00:16:08.33\00:16:11.20
DELIVER YOU UP TO TRIBULATION
AND KILL YOU AND YOU'LL BE HATED
00:16:11.23\00:16:14.40
OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S
SAKE AND MANY WILL BE OFFENDED
00:16:14.44\00:16:18.01
AND BETRAY ONE ANOTHER AND
MANY WILL HATE ONE ANOTHER.
00:16:18.04\00:16:20.74
MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE
AND DECEIVE MANY AND BECAUSE
00:16:20.78\00:16:24.35
LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND THE
LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD."
00:16:24.38\00:16:27.55
- AND HEAR ITS PROMISES - "BUT
HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END WILL
00:16:27.58\00:16:29.65
BE SAVED." - HE
SAID, 'DON'T LOSE PATIENCE'
00:16:29.68\00:16:34.52
- EVEN REVELATION SAYS 'HERE IS
THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS.' WHY
00:16:34.56\00:16:38.39
DO YOU THINK WE NEED PATIENCE?
HE'S COMING SOON AND SOME PEOPLE
00:16:38.43\00:16:41.80
ARE SAYING, 'AW, IS
HE EVER GOING TO COME?'
00:16:41.83\00:16:43.97
HOLD ON. HE'S COMING AGAIN.
SO NOW LET'S TAKE APART SOME OF
00:16:44.00\00:16:47.50
THE SIGNS THAT WE JUST
LOOKED AT TALKING ABOUT THE
00:16:47.54\00:16:50.14
SIGNS OF THE END.
TALKED ABOUT WARS AND RUMORS OF
00:16:50.17\00:16:52.87
WARS - POLITICAL
INSTABILITY. DO WE HAVE THAT IN
00:16:52.91\00:16:56.08
THE WORLD TODAY? >>YEP.
00:16:56.11\00:16:58.21
>>YEAH, YOU KNOW, JUST IN
THE NEWS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.
00:16:58.25\00:17:01.68
NOT ONLY IS NORTH KOREA
CONTINUING TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE
00:17:01.72\00:17:04.79
AND TEST THE DISTANCE IT CAN
DELIVER BALLISTIC MISSILES, BUT
00:17:04.82\00:17:08.86
IRAN IS NOW TESTING MISSILES
AND THEY'VE MADE IT VERY CLEAR
00:17:08.89\00:17:11.69
THERE'S SOME COUNTRIES
THEY DON'T LIKE VERY MUCH.
00:17:11.73\00:17:14.13
WE'RE ONE OF
THEM. ISRAEL'S ANOTHER.
00:17:14.20\00:17:16.53
I MEAN RIGHT NOW IT'S - IT'S
LIKE THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST IS A
00:17:16.56\00:17:20.17
POWDER KEG. AND,
UNFORTUNATELY, MAN HAS
00:17:20.20\00:17:23.41
NEVER MADE A
WEAPON HE DID NOT USE.
00:17:23.44\00:17:25.67
THAT'S A HISTORICAL FACT.
AND YOU JUST WONDER, AT ONE
00:17:25.71\00:17:29.04
POINT, IS SOMEBODY GOING TO GET
A HOLD OF A FORBIDDEN NUCLEAR
00:17:29.08\00:17:32.18
WEAPON FROM THE COLD WAR
OR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:17:32.21\00:17:35.35
YOU KNOW REVELATION TELLS US
THAT GOD HAS HIS ANGELS HOLDING
00:17:35.38\00:17:39.65
BACK THE WINDS OF STRIFE SO
THAT THE GOSPEL CAN GO FORWARD.
00:17:39.69\00:17:43.56
I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT'S
GIVING US THIS WINDOW OF PEACE
00:17:43.59\00:17:46.73
IS THAT THE LORD IS HOLDING BACK
THE WINDS OF STRIFE TO GIVE US
00:17:46.76\00:17:50.20
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE
GOOD NEWS WHILE TIME REMAINS.
00:17:50.23\00:17:53.70
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
I SAW AN INTERESTING FACT.
00:17:53.74\00:17:57.27
YOU KNOW THE WORLD SPENDS OVER
ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AN
00:17:57.31\00:18:00.58
HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES.
00:18:00.61\00:18:06.18
AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE AMERICAN
MILITARY WHAT IT COSTS EVERY
00:18:06.21\00:18:08.45
HOUR AND THE - RUSSIA AND CHINA
AND THESE - A HUNDRED MILLION
00:18:08.48\00:18:11.82
DOLLARS AN HOUR IS
SPENT ON PREPARING FOR THESE.
00:18:11.85\00:18:15.46
NOT ONLY WARS AND RUMORS OF
WARS, THE BIBLE TALKED ABOUT
00:18:15.49\00:18:17.66
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS
PLACES - NOT ONLY EARTHQUAKES -
00:18:17.69\00:18:21.43
EARTHQUAKE - THE ONE THERE
IN 2004 TRIGGERED THE TSUNAMI.
00:18:21.46\00:18:25.63
AND 250,000 PEOPLE PERISHED.
AND EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING, ON
00:18:25.67\00:18:32.44
THE WEST COAST, WHEN IS
THE BIG ONE GOING TO COME?
00:18:32.47\00:18:35.08
AND WE'VE ALREADY SEEN
SOME TERRIBLE CATASTROPHES
00:18:35.11\00:18:37.91
WITH EARTHQUAKES. I SAW
A FACT THAT CAME FROM THE
00:18:37.95\00:18:40.45
GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
AND THE NATIONAL EARTHQUAKE
00:18:40.48\00:18:44.39
INFORMATION CENTER THAT, BETWEEN
2004 AND 2014, 18 EARTHQUAKES
00:18:44.42\00:18:50.39
WITH A MAGNITUDE OF 8.0
OR MORE RATTLED SUBDUCTION
00:18:50.43\00:18:53.50
ZONES AROUND THE GLOBE.
THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 265
00:18:53.53\00:18:57.10
PERCENT OVER THE AVERAGE
RATE OF THE PREVIOUS CENTURY.
00:18:57.13\00:19:00.87
NOW WHILE I TALK ABOUT SIGNS
LIKE WAR AND RUMOR OF WAR AND
00:19:01.54\00:19:05.84
PLAGUES AND EARTHQUAKES, KEEP
IN MIND THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
00:19:05.87\00:19:10.91
THESE THINGS. WHAT
THE LORD IS TALKING ABOUT
00:19:10.95\00:19:13.95
IS WHEN THE FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY INCREASES.
00:19:13.98\00:19:19.35
WHEN KAREN AND I HAD CHILDREN
AND SHE WAS GREAT WITH CHILD
00:19:19.39\00:19:24.39
EVERY NOW AND THEN
SHE'D GET A LABOR PAIN.
00:19:24.43\00:19:26.66
I THINK THEY CALL THE EARLY ONES
BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS OR
00:19:26.70\00:19:30.03
SOMETHING. AND YOU
KNOW YOUR REACTION COULD
00:19:30.07\00:19:33.87
BE, 'OH, I'M FEELING SOMETHING
- WE'LL RUN FOR THE DOCTOR.' AND
00:19:33.90\00:19:37.07
THEY'LL OFTEN SMILE AND SEND
YOU HOME AND SAY, 'FIRST ONE?
00:19:37.11\00:19:40.14
RELAX, YOU'VE GOT A WAYS TO
GO.' AND, YOU KNOW, USUALLY THAT
00:19:40.18\00:19:43.18
NINTH MONTH THEY ARE
READY TO BE DELIVERED.
00:19:43.21\00:19:47.12
THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT BABY.
BUT WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE
00:19:47.15\00:19:51.55
PAINS BEGIN COME CLOSER TOGETHER
WITH MORE FREQUENCY AND THEY
00:19:51.59\00:19:56.79
BECOME MORE INTENSE, THEN YOU
KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A BABY.
00:19:56.83\00:20:03.13
AND, AS YOU NEAR THE END OF
TIME, YOU'LL SEE THE SIGNS THAT
00:20:03.16\00:20:07.07
JESUS TALKED ABOUT - WARS WELL
LAST CENTURY WE HAD TWO WORLD
00:20:07.10\00:20:11.01
WARS. AND IT
ALMOST LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
00:20:11.04\00:20:13.38
ON THE BRINK OF A THIRD,
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING.
00:20:13.41\00:20:15.34
THAT'S NOT A NORMAL WAR.
IT'S A WORLD WAR AND NUCLEAR
00:20:15.38\00:20:19.61
WEAPONS AND ATOMIC BOMBS - AND
THE INTENSITY OF THESE THINGS,
00:20:19.65\00:20:24.79
INCLUDING THE EARTHQUAKES
AND NATURAL DISASTERS.
00:20:24.82\00:20:26.72
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
INCREASE AND INTENSIFY.
00:20:26.76\00:20:29.59
SO THAT'S
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.
00:20:29.62\00:20:31.69
PLAGUES, PESTILENCE
- JESUS TALKED ABOUT.
00:20:31.73\00:20:34.46
I THINK DON'T WE ALL SHUDDER
FROM THE TERRIBLE IMAGES THAT WE
00:20:34.46\00:20:37.77
SAW COMING FROM WEST AFRICA WITH
THE EBOLA BREAK OUT RECENTLY BUT
00:20:37.80\00:20:42.10
THAT'S NOT THE WORST PLAGUE.
LITTLE MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS
00:20:42.14\00:20:45.17
AGO IN 19 - I GUESS A LITTLE
LESS THAN A HUNDRED YEARS AGO -
00:20:45.21\00:20:48.78
IN 1917 - 1918 THEY HAD THE - AN
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC AND YOU KNOW
00:20:48.81\00:20:55.35
THAT IT KILLED MORE
PEOPLE THAN WORLD WAR I?
00:20:55.38\00:20:57.95
ABOUT 40 MILLION PEOPLE
DIED FROM A STRAIN OF THE FLU.
00:20:57.99\00:21:03.83
AND NOW, WITH ALL THE
ANTIBIOTICS, SCIENCE IS TELLING
00:21:03.86\00:21:06.46
US THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF A
VERY RESISTANT STRAIN - A SUPER
00:21:06.49\00:21:11.03
BUG COULD BE SPREAD VERY QUICKLY
CAUSE - I TRAVEL A LOT; YOU GET
00:21:11.07\00:21:16.40
ON THESE AIRPLANES ALL IT TAKES
IS ONE SICK PERSON COUGHING IT'S
00:21:16.44\00:21:18.94
PUMPED THROUGH THE VENTILATION
SYSTEM AND BOY, THE AIRLINE
00:21:18.97\00:21:22.44
INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD IS A
VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO SPREAD THE
00:21:22.48\00:21:25.71
VIRUS AROUND THE WORLD. AND
SO, GOVERNMENTS ARE AWARE OF
00:21:25.75\00:21:29.42
THAT AND THEY ARE VERY CAREFULLY
GUARDING - YOU REMEMBER, WITH
00:21:29.45\00:21:32.05
THE EBOLA - PEOPLE FLYING - THEY
WERE SCREENING EVERYBODY BECAUSE
00:21:32.09\00:21:34.82
THEY COULD SEE HOW QUICKLY THIS
COULD SPREAD. AGAIN, IT'S JUST
00:21:34.86\00:21:37.73
THE GRACE OF GOD THAT'S HOLDING
THESE THINGS BACK RIGHT NOW.
00:21:37.76\00:21:41.33
ONE OF THE SIGNS JESUS GIVES
OF THE LAST DAYS IS VIOLENCE.
00:21:41.36\00:21:45.50
CHRIST SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF NOAH, AND AS IT WAS IN
00:21:45.53\00:21:49.20
THE DAYS OF LOT, SO WILL IT BE
IN THE DAYS WHEN THE SON OF MAN
00:21:49.24\00:21:52.44
RETURNS.' WHAT WAS IT
LIKE BACK IN THE DAYS OF NOAH?
00:21:52.47\00:21:55.71
YOU READ IN GENESIS CHAPTER
6, 'THE THOUGHTS OF MEN'S HEARTS
00:21:55.74\00:21:59.35
WERE ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY AND
VIOLENCE FILLED THE LAND.' THE
00:21:59.38\00:22:04.75
BIBLE TELLS US THAT IT GRIEVED
THE LORD IN HIS HEART THAT HE'D
00:22:04.79\00:22:07.76
EVEN MADE MAN. AND
SO YOU CONSIDER THAT.
00:22:07.79\00:22:11.23
DO WE HAVE THAT KIND OF
VIOLENCE IN THE WORLD TODAY?
00:22:11.26\00:22:13.43
HERE'S AN INTERESTING FACT.
EVERY DAY MORE AMERICAN YOUTH
00:22:14.20\00:22:17.33
DIE IN GANG VIOLENCE
THAN FIGHTING IN FOREIGN WARS.
00:22:17.37\00:22:22.60
I UNDERSTAND THAT 2016
IN CHICAGO THERE WERE OVER
00:22:22.64\00:22:25.61
718 MURDERS.
THAT'S MORE PEOPLE BEING
00:22:25.64\00:22:32.08
MURDERED IN ONE U.S. CITY.
THAN OUR SOLDIERS WERE SLAIN IN
00:22:32.11\00:22:37.09
THE LAST SIX YEARS FIGHTING
IN THE MIDDLE EAST. VIOLENCE.
00:22:37.12\00:22:43.36
ONE OF THE SIGNS
OF THE LAST DAYS.
00:22:43.39\00:22:44.76
AND, IF YOU DON'T MIND MY JUST
SAYING HERE, I DON'T THINK IT
00:22:44.79\00:22:47.96
SHOULD SURPRISE US WHEN - IF
YOU SCAN THROUGH THE TELEVISION,
00:22:48.00\00:22:51.67
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND PEOPLE
ARE ENTERTAINED BY VIOLENCE.
00:22:51.70\00:22:54.84
AND IF WE'RE ENTERTAINED BY
VIOLENCE WE TEND TO REPRODUCE -
00:22:54.87\00:22:58.31
ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEY SEE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
00:22:58.34\00:23:00.61
OF MURDERS AS THEY GROW
UP AND YOU SORT OF BECOME
00:23:00.64\00:23:02.74
CALLOUS AND INDIFFERENT.
AND THEY SEE ALL THIS SHOOTING
00:23:02.78\00:23:06.15
ON TELEVISION AND THEY DON'T
REALIZE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
00:23:06.18\00:23:08.32
A REAL GUN AND WHAT IT'S GOING
TO DO TO A LIFE AND FICTION.
00:23:08.35\00:23:12.82
AND THERE'S JUST THIS
COLD INDIFFERENCE. IMMORALITY.
00:23:12.85\00:23:19.03
PORN - I SAW STUDY NOT TOO
LONG AGO THAT - IT'S KIND OF
00:23:19.06\00:23:25.37
SHOCKING. 12
PERCENT OF ALL INTERNET
00:23:25.40\00:23:28.67
WEBSITES ARE PORNOGRAPHIC
- AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
00:23:28.70\00:23:32.27
WEBSITES - TWELVE PERCENT.
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF ALL
00:23:32.31\00:23:35.41
INTERNET DOWNLOADS ARE
PORNOGRAPHIC IN CONTENT.
00:23:35.44\00:23:39.15
25 PERCENT OF ONLINE SEARCH
ENGINE REQUESTS ARE RELATED TO
00:23:39.18\00:23:42.98
SEX. FORTY
MILLION AMERICANS CONSIDER
00:23:43.02\00:23:45.99
THEMSELVES REGULAR
VISITORS TO PORN SITES.
00:23:46.02\00:23:48.76
THE AVERAGE AGE FOR THE FIRST
EXPOSURE TO PORN IS 11 YEARS OLD
00:23:48.79\00:23:52.39
- AVERAGE AGE. IT'S
JUST SATURATING OUR SOCIETY
00:23:52.43\00:23:58.20
AND THINGS THAT WERE ONCE
CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, IMMORAL
00:23:58.23\00:24:01.90
IT'S JUST
BECOMING A WAY OF LIFE.
00:24:01.94\00:24:04.37
PEOPLE ARE BECOMING CALLOUSED
TO PURITY THAT GOD IS CALLING US
00:24:04.41\00:24:07.74
TO. AND YOU KNOW
I JUST CAN'T RUSH
00:24:07.78\00:24:10.25
BY THIS WITHOUT MENTIONING
SOMETHING I THINK WE'RE ALL
00:24:10.28\00:24:12.41
AWARE OF, THAT THE BIBLE SAYS
'AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF SODOM,
00:24:12.45\00:24:17.32
SO SHALL IT BE IN THE DAYS WHEN
THE SON OF MAN COMES' - AND I'M,
00:24:17.35\00:24:20.89
FRANKLY, VERY DISAPPOINTED
THAT WE'VE BECOME FUZZY ON THE
00:24:20.92\00:24:24.79
DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN MEN AND
WOMEN WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE.
00:24:24.83\00:24:28.03
OVERPOPULATION.
00:24:28.06\00:24:31.30
YOU KNOW I SAW A STUDY - I
ACTUALLY LOOKED IT UP TO CHECK
00:24:31.33\00:24:35.30
MY FACTS TODAY. RIGHT
NOW WE'RE BORDERING ON,
00:24:35.34\00:24:38.01
YOU KNOW, SEVEN AND A HALF
BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
00:24:38.04\00:24:41.74
IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY FIVE
THOUSAND YEARS - I THINK IT WAS
00:24:41.78\00:24:45.81
1829 - THE WORLD GOT THE FIRST
BILLION PEOPLE - 5000 YEARS TO
00:24:45.85\00:24:50.22
GET 1 BILLION. THEN
IT WAS ABOUT 123 YEARS
00:24:50.25\00:24:53.69
AFTER THAT JUST 123 YEAR
TO GET THE SECOND BILLION.
00:24:53.72\00:24:57.46
THEN ABOUT 30 YEARS AFTER
THAT TO GET THE THIRD BILLION.
00:24:57.49\00:25:00.83
I REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE ONLY
3 BILLION PEOPLE AND I'M NOT
00:25:00.86\00:25:03.03
THAT OLD - IN THE WORLD - AND IN
MY LIFE THE WORLD POPULATION HAS
00:25:03.06\00:25:08.27
MORE THAN DOUBLED FROM 3
BILLION TO 7 SOMETHING BILLION.
00:25:08.30\00:25:13.11
THERE'S ACTUALLY A WEBSITE YOU
CAN GO TO AND IT WILL CLOCK FOR
00:25:13.14\00:25:16.14
YOU HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING BORN
- HOW QUICKLY - IT'S KIND OF
00:25:16.18\00:25:18.75
STAGGERING TO JUST SIT THERE AND
LOOK THAT - HOW MANY PEOPLE - 90
00:25:18.78\00:25:22.25
MILLION PEOPLE ARE BEING ADDED
TO THE WORLD'S POPULATION EVERY
00:25:22.28\00:25:25.95
YEAR - 90 MILLION PEOPLE -
THAT'S INCLUDING THE ONES YOU
00:25:25.99\00:25:29.06
DEDUCT FOR DEATH 90 MILLION NEW
PEOPLE DRAWING ON THE RESOURCES
00:25:29.09\00:25:34.63
OF THE PLANET. KAREN AND
I'VE BEEN TO CHINA A FEW TIMES.
00:25:34.66\00:25:38.80
LET ME TELL YOU THERE
ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN CHINA.
00:25:38.83\00:25:41.40
I REMEMBER IN SHANGHAI -
I GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY -
00:25:41.44\00:25:43.54
THAT'S A BUSY CITY AND IT'S A
VERY POPULATED CITY, BUT I GOT
00:25:43.57\00:25:49.21
TO CHINA I FEEL LIKE I WAS
DRIVING THROUGH NEW YORK CITY
00:25:49.24\00:25:52.08
DOWNTOWN FOR AN HOUR AND IT
NEVER STOPPED - LIKE 24 MILLION
00:25:52.11\00:25:56.58
PEOPLE - THIS ONE CITY BUT IT'S
GROWING. AND THIS JUST TELLS US
00:25:56.62\00:26:02.32
IT CAN'T LAST FOREVER.
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID 'EXCEPT
00:26:02.36\00:26:05.16
THOSE DAYS BE SHORTENED NO FLESH
WOULD BE SAVED; BUT FOR THE
00:26:05.19\00:26:08.30
ELECT'S SAKE THOSE
D'AYS WILL BE SHORTENED.
00:26:08.33\00:26:10.33
IN OTHER WORDS, IF HE DID NOT
COME ON TIME AND IF HE DOESN'T
00:26:10.37\00:26:12.93
CUT IT SHORT,
NOBODY WOULD SURVIVE.
00:26:12.97\00:26:14.80
>>AMEN. >>SO THE
LORD HAS TO COME SOON
00:26:14.84\00:26:17.21
OR THERE'LL BE
NOTHING TO COME FOR.
00:26:17.24\00:26:19.41
AND ANOTHER REASON I THINK
IS COMING SOON IS EVERYBODY IS
00:26:19.44\00:26:22.21
GOING TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
COMING WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD JUST
00:26:22.24\00:26:25.05
SORT OF BEGINS
TO SWALLOW ITSELF.
00:26:25.08\00:26:27.22
BUT IT MAY BE A LITTLE BEFORE
THAT BECAUSE HE SAID IN SUCH
00:26:27.25\00:26:30.15
AN HOUR YOU THINK NOT
THE SON OF MAN IS COMING.
