>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:01:02.66\00:01:04.99
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:01:05.03\00:01:11.60
>>CONTRARY TO THE POPULAR BELIEF
THAT LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES THE
00:01:11.63\00:01:14.67
SAME SPOT TWICE, IT'S ACTUALLY
BEEN KNOWN TO STRIKE OBJECTS,
00:01:14.70\00:01:18.31
EVEN PEOPLE, MULTIPLE
TIMES DURING INTENSE ELECTRICAL
00:01:18.34\00:01:21.41
STORMS. DURING ONE
STORM, FOR INSTANCE,
00:01:21.44\00:01:24.45
THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
IN NEW YORK WAS STRUCK 15
00:01:24.48\00:01:27.95
TIMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES.
SOMETIMES A SINGLE BOLT OF
00:01:27.98\00:01:32.02
LIGHTNING WILL REALLY CONSIST
OF AS MANY AS 42 DISCHARGES
00:01:32.05\00:01:36.22
STRIKING THE SAME SPOT IN SUCH
QUICK SUCCESSION THAT IT APPEARS
00:01:36.26\00:01:40.20
LIKE A SINGLE FLASH, BUT
IT ALL HAPPENS IN LESS THAN
00:01:40.23\00:01:42.83
ONE-QUARTER OF A SECOND.
LIGHTNING, FROM ONE CLOUD TO
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.83
ANOTHER, IS ALSO VERY COMMON AND
IT'S BEEN RECORDED TO JUMP AS
00:01:45.87\00:01:49.57
FAR AS 20 MILES BETWEEN CLOUDS.
BUT WHETHER LIGHTNING IS MOVING
00:01:49.60\00:01:53.58
FROM CLOUD TO CLOUD OR CLOUD TO
GROUND OR GROUND TO CLOUD, IT'S
00:01:53.61\00:01:57.31
HARD TO MISS THE
BRILLIANT BLINDING FLASH THAT
00:01:57.35\00:02:00.28
ILLUMINATES THE SKY. IN
MATTHEW 24 JESUS SAID, "FOR
00:02:00.32\00:02:04.65
AS LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE EAST
AND FLASHES TO THE WEST, SO ALSO
00:02:04.69\00:02:09.09
WILL THE COMING OF
THE SON OF MAN BE."
00:02:09.12\00:02:11.66
IN SPITE OF HIS WORDS, SOME
STILL BELIEVE THAT HIS RETURN IS
00:02:11.69\00:02:14.93
GOING TO BE A SECRET.
WELL, WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
00:02:14.96\00:02:18.10
JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:02:18.13\00:02:21.27
REALLY SAYS ABOUT
THE RETURN OF CHRIST.
00:02:21.30\00:02:28.64
>>PEOPLE KNOW THAT
SOMETHING UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING.
00:02:28.68\00:02:34.18
IN 2010 THE PEW RESEARCH GROUP
DID A SURVEY AND IN THAT SURVEY
00:02:34.22\00:02:40.62
THEY EXPLAINED THAT BY THE YEAR
2050 - 50 ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF
00:02:40.66\00:02:48.83
THE PEOPLE BELIEVED
THAT JESUS WOULD COME.
00:02:48.86\00:02:51.97
I THINK 40 OF THOSE 60
PERCENT WERE ABSOLUTELY SURE.
00:02:52.00\00:02:54.80
20 PERCENT SAID 'PROBABLY'
AND THAT'S IN NORTH AMERICA, OF
00:02:54.84\00:02:58.17
COURSE. AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO
00:02:58.21\00:03:00.61
BE TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT
THE PINNACLE OF PROPHECY AND
00:03:00.64\00:03:04.18
SIGNS OF JESUS' COMING. YOU
KNOW, IT'S VERY INTERESTING,
00:03:04.21\00:03:07.95
WE'RE GOING TO BE FINDING
THAT THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS A
00:03:07.98\00:03:10.62
PARTNER BOOK FOR
REVELATION. SO WE'LL BE GOING
00:03:10.65\00:03:12.99
BACK AND FORTH.
REVELATION DOES A LOT OF
00:03:13.02\00:03:15.19
REFERRING TO THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12
00:03:15.22\00:03:18.99
AND HE SAYS, IN VERSE 4, "BUT
YOU DANIEL SHUT UP THE WORDS AND
00:03:19.03\00:03:23.67
SEAL THE BOOK UNTIL
THE TIME OF THE END."
00:03:23.70\00:03:26.13
SO NO QUESTION ABOUT
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:03:26.17\00:03:28.50
AND HE GOES ON TO SAY,
"MANY WILL RUN TO AND FRO."
00:03:28.54\00:03:32.37
FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH
00:03:32.41\00:03:34.54
THE WORD OF GOD
AND DISCOVER TRUTH.
00:03:34.58\00:03:38.31
BUT YOU CAN'T MISS THE POINT
THAT PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AND
00:03:38.35\00:03:40.95
FRO FASTER - DO YOU REALIZE, FOR
ABOUT SIX THOUSAND YEARS, PEOPLE
00:03:40.98\00:03:43.99
- THE FASTEST
THING YOU GOT IS A HORSE?
00:03:44.02\00:03:46.49
JUST CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE
THE CHANGE THAT'S BEEN SEEN.
00:03:46.52\00:03:49.66
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, BACK
IN 2006 - I KNOW IT'S AN OLD
00:03:49.69\00:03:52.39
ARTICLE BUT IT
STILL BEARS THE POINT.
00:03:52.43\00:03:54.00
THAT'S THE MAGAZINE COVER,
IF YOU WANT TO REFERENCE IT.
00:03:54.03\00:03:56.03
THERE'S A QUOTE IN THERE.
PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FAR FROM
00:03:56.06\00:03:59.17
HOME MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY AND
00:03:59.20\00:04:03.81
KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.
THIS IS A PICTURE HERE ON THE
00:04:03.84\00:04:07.41
SCREEN OF THE
GREAT HADRON ACCELERATOR.
00:04:07.44\00:04:10.95
IT IS - IT'S THE
LARGEST EXPERIMENT IN THE WORLD.
00:04:10.98\00:04:13.72
IT'S THE BIGGEST
MACHINE IN THE WORLD.
00:04:13.75\00:04:15.85
IT'S UNDER THE GROUND ABOUT
500 FEET - A 17-MILE TUNNEL IN
00:04:15.88\00:04:22.19
GENEVA UNDERNEATH THE GROUND
WHERE THE - ALL THESE EUROPEAN
00:04:22.22\00:04:26.29
GOVERNMENTS GOT TOGETHER
AND THEY POURED LIKE 13 BILLION
00:04:26.33\00:04:29.23
DOLLARS INTO BUILDING THIS
TESTING EQUIPMENT TO UNDERSTAND
00:04:29.26\00:04:34.77
PHYSICS. AND AS
THEY HYPER ACCELERATE
00:04:34.80\00:04:38.77
THESE PARTICLES THEY SMASH THEM
AN THEN MEASURE WHAT THEY FIND
00:04:38.81\00:04:41.58
TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT IS THE BASE CORE OF
00:04:41.61\00:04:44.08
WHAT LIFE IS MADE OF?
WHAT IS THE STUFF OF LIFE?
00:04:44.11\00:04:47.62
NOW ACTUALLY THE NICKNAME IS
THE MACHINE HAS BEEN BUILT TO
00:04:47.65\00:04:50.99
DISCOVER - THEY
CALL IT THE GOD PARTICLE.
00:04:51.02\00:04:53.29
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE?
THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO TRY
00:04:53.32\00:04:56.36
- 'WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE
ANSWERS OF WHERE EVERYTHING CAME
00:04:56.39\00:04:58.09
FROM.' - THAT'S A BIG INVESTMENT
OF TECHNOLOGY, NOT ONLY FROM
00:04:58.13\00:05:02.63
UNDER THE GROUND THERE IN GENEVA
BUT UP IN THE SKY WITH THE
00:05:02.66\00:05:05.90
INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION - KNOWLEDGE IS INCREASED
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.40
JUST IN IN ONE LIFETIME. I
SHOULD ACTUALLY SAY IN ABOUT A
00:05:08.44\00:05:13.11
CENTURY - YOU LOOK AT JUST
SOME OF THE CHANGES - INCREDIBLE
00:05:13.14\00:05:15.64
INVENTIONS - AUTOMOBILES,
AIRPLANES, RADIO, TELEVISION,
00:05:15.68\00:05:19.31
SMARTPHONE, COMPUTERS. A
LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY,
00:05:19.35\00:05:24.22
THEY CAN'T IMAGINE A
WORLD WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE.
00:05:24.25\00:05:28.52
AND YOU KNOW IT'S - I GET -
KAREN AND I GOT A RENTAL CAR AND
00:05:28.56\00:05:33.26
IT WAS A FAIRLY NEW ONE - WE GOT
LUCKY - GOT A LOW MILEAGE RENTAL
00:05:33.29\00:05:35.33
CAR AND I'VE NEARLY WRECKED IT
THREE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:05:35.36\00:05:38.30
HOW TO RUN THE THING.
(LAUGHTER) I SAT IN THE CAR WHEN
00:05:38.33\00:05:40.97
WE GOT THERE AND I SAT THERE AND
SAID, 'OH, THIS IS GREAT, LOW
00:05:41.00\00:05:43.97
MILEAGE', YOU KNOW, AND I
FIGURED OUT, FINALLY, YOU DON'T
00:05:44.01\00:05:46.37
HAVE TO USE A KEY, YOU
JUST PRESS THE BUTTON BECAUSE IT
00:05:46.41\00:05:48.11
KNOWS THE KEY'S IN MY POCKET
- I KEEP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:05:48.14\00:05:49.58
WHERE DO I PUT THE KEY?
I'M ONE OF THESE OLD PEOPLE,
00:05:49.61\00:05:51.58
I WANT TO PUT
THE KEY IN SOMEWHERE.
00:05:51.61\00:05:53.11
AND I KEEP TAKING THE KEY OUT
WHEN I WALK UP TO THE CAR, BUT
00:05:53.15\00:05:55.88
IT DOESN'T NEED THE KEY, IT JUST
OPENS BY ITSELF AND I SAID, 'OH,
00:05:55.92\00:05:58.49
WHAT A WASTE OF
ENERGY.' I HAD TO FIND IT.
00:05:58.52\00:06:01.12
AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO SHIFT THE THING.
00:06:01.16\00:06:02.66
I'M LOOKING AT ALL THIS AND
FINALLY KAREN REACHES OVER - SHE
00:06:02.69\00:06:04.56
TURNS A KNOB. IS
THAT LIKE A VOLUME - YOU
00:06:04.59\00:06:07.76
SHIFT GEARS
WITH A VOLUME BUTTON.
00:06:07.83\00:06:09.96
I'M A MAN, I WANT TO GRAB
SOMETHING AND HEAR IT CLUNK, YOU
00:06:10.00\00:06:13.27
KNOW? WHEN - IT JUST -
YOU TURN A LITTLE KNOB.
00:06:13.30\00:06:16.97
SO IT BOTHERS ME.
JUST THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
00:06:17.01\00:06:21.88
CAN YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO
EXPLAIN A SMARTPHONE TO THE
00:06:21.91\00:06:24.28
APOSTLE PAUL?
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) HE WOULD
00:06:24.31\00:06:27.28
THINK YOU'RE DEMON POSSESSED.
(LAUGHTER) PAUL WOULD SAY,
00:06:27.32\00:06:31.19
'LOOK, LET ME FIND THAT IN
MY SCROLLS.' SAY, 'NO PROBLEM,
00:06:31.22\00:06:33.12
PAUL, I'LL GOOGLE IT.'
'WHAT?' CAN'T YOU JUST SEE IT?
00:06:33.15\00:06:37.09
THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AND
ANOTHER ONE FOR ME THAT I
00:06:37.13\00:06:40.90
THINK IS A TREMENDOUS EVIDENCE
OF THE NEARNESS OF CHRIST COMING
00:06:40.93\00:06:45.10
IS GLOBAL EVANGELIZATION.
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 14 - THIS, TO
00:06:45.13\00:06:51.27
ME, I THINK, IS ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL PROPHECIES THAT REALLY
00:06:51.31\00:06:53.58
MAKES ME BELIEVE WE ARE
LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:06:53.61\00:06:55.74
JESUS SAID, EXTREMELY CLEARLY,
"THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL
00:06:55.78\00:07:01.85
BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD
FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS."
00:07:01.88\00:07:06.69
AND THEN HE SAID,
"THEN THE END WILL COME."
00:07:06.72\00:07:09.89
HE DIDN'T SAY IT MIGHT COME,
OR IT COULD COME OR IT MAY COME.
00:07:09.92\00:07:13.09
HE SAID, VERY
EMPHATICALLY, THE END WILL COME.
00:07:13.13\00:07:17.10
HE DID NOT SAY THE GOSPEL'LL BE
PREACHED THERE WILL BE A GREAT
00:07:17.13\00:07:19.70
GLOBAL REVIVAL AND EVERYBODY
WILL BELIEVE; HE SAID 'FOR A
00:07:19.73\00:07:23.67
WITNESS.' GIVE
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY.
00:07:23.71\00:07:25.84
AND THEN WHAT THEY DO WITH
THAT OPPORTUNITY IS UP TO THEM.
00:07:25.87\00:07:28.24
BUT THE END WILL
COME. WELL IS THE GOSPEL
00:07:28.28\00:07:31.55
GOING IN ALL THE WORLD?
JUST THIS LAST TWO DAYS WE'VE
00:07:31.58\00:07:35.15
HAD AN INVITATION
TO RETURN TO CHINA.
00:07:35.18\00:07:37.29
AMAZING FACTS WAS VERY BLESSED.
WE WERE ONE OF - IF NOT THE
00:07:37.32\00:07:41.66
FIRST - CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION
IN OVER 50 YEARS INVITED TO
00:07:41.69\00:07:45.49
PREACH PUBLICLY A WHOLE SERIES
OF MEETINGS THAT WAS BROADCAST
00:07:45.53\00:07:49.03
ON TELEVISION IN CHINA.
(CLAPPING) AND THAT WAS SUCH A
00:07:49.06\00:07:52.63
THRILL AND THEN THE NEAT THING
IS THEY MADE COPIES OF THAT AND
00:07:52.67\00:07:57.84
THEY CONTINUE TO MULTIPLY
THAT. I JUST GOT A CALL FROM OUR
00:07:57.87\00:08:01.24
HEADQUARTERS THERE AND
THEY SAID, 'CAN YOU COME BACK?
00:08:01.28\00:08:04.31
AND SO, THE GOSPEL - AND
IT'S - IT'S NOW ON SATELLITE.
00:08:04.35\00:08:08.82
KAREN AND I ARE GOING NEXT MONTH
TO NEW GUINEA AND THEY TELL US
00:08:08.85\00:08:12.12
THERE'LL BE - ABOUT 100,000
PEOPLE AT THIS ONE MEETING THAT
00:08:12.15\00:08:16.49
WE'RE GOING TO IN NEW GUINEA.
WE'RE GOING TO BE IN AUSTRALIA.
00:08:16.52\00:08:19.53
AND I'M JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS OF
MISSIONARIES THAT ARE OUT THERE
00:08:19.56\00:08:22.63
DOING IT. IT'S NOT
LIKE WE'RE DOING IT -
00:08:22.66\00:08:24.00
JESUS SAID THE GOSPEL
WOULD GO TO THE WORLD - IT'S
00:08:24.03\00:08:26.23
GOING THE MIDDLE EAST.
AMAZING FACTS GETS E-MAIL FROM
00:08:26.27\00:08:28.80
ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE
EAST THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE.
00:08:28.84\00:08:32.77
AND SO, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING
AND THE GOSPEL IS GOING AND
00:08:32.81\00:08:35.98
MISSIONARIES ARE GOING.
AND JESUS SAID, 'THEN THE END
00:08:36.01\00:08:38.78
WILL COME.' AND SO WE'RE
SEEING, I THINK, THE FULFILLMENT
00:08:38.81\00:08:41.92
OF THAT IN THIS GENERATION.
NOW I NEED TO PAUSE AT THIS
00:08:41.95\00:08:45.29
POINT AND DELVE INTO A VERY
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR STUDY.
00:08:45.32\00:08:50.06
I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING.
00:08:50.09\00:08:52.29
NOW I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING.
00:08:52.33\00:08:54.83
ABOUT WHAT? >>HOW.
00:08:54.83\00:08:56.16
>>HOW HE'S COMING - BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT
00:08:56.20\00:08:59.63
HOW. NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A
00:08:59.67\00:09:01.27
LOT OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT
MISUNDERSTOOD HOW HE'S COMING.
00:09:01.30\00:09:04.24
DID THE APOSTLES MISUNDERSTAND
HOW THE MESSIAH WAS COMING THE
00:09:04.27\00:09:08.18
FIRST TIME?
THEY'LL BE IN HEAVEN.
00:09:08.21\00:09:10.58
BUT THEY HAD THE
SCRIPTURES WRONG.
00:09:10.61\00:09:12.28
THEY THOUGHT WHEN THE MESSIAH
CAME HE WAS GOING TO COME ON A
00:09:12.31\00:09:14.62
WHITE HORSE LIKE KING DAVID HE
WAS GOING TO DESTROY ALL OF THE
00:09:14.65\00:09:17.85
ROMANS LIKE SAMSON OR SOMETHING.
AND THEY WERE GOING TO BE A
00:09:17.89\00:09:20.69
WORLD EMPIRE LIKE SOLOMON - AND
THEY JUST HAD ALL THESE GREAT,
00:09:20.72\00:09:24.03
GLORIOUS IDEAS ABOUT WHEN
THE MESSIAH COMES AND JESUS SAID
00:09:24.06\00:09:26.76
'NO, NO, NO.' THAT'S WHEN I COME
THE SECOND TIME - FIRST TIME I'M
00:09:26.80\00:09:29.73
COMING LIKE A LAMB,
SECOND TIME I COME LIKE A LION.'
00:09:29.76\00:09:33.30
WELL, THE DEVIL'S DOING THE
SAME THING TO THE CHURCH TODAY.
00:09:33.34\00:09:36.24
LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED
ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING SO THEY
00:09:36.27\00:09:38.71
WON'T BE
PREPARED TO RECEIVE HIM.
00:09:38.74\00:09:41.58
A LOT OF CHRIST'S PEOPLE - THE
JEWS - DID NOT RECEIVE HIM WHEN
00:09:41.61\00:09:44.75
HE CAME THE FIRST TIME
BECAUSE THEY SAID, 'NAZARETH?
00:09:44.78\00:09:48.72
WHO? THERE'S NO
PROPHET IN NAZARETH.
00:09:48.75\00:09:50.85
AND A POOR CARPENTER.
HOW CAN THIS - CAN'T BE HIM.'
00:09:50.89\00:09:53.99
THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THAT HE
WAS COMING FIRST AS A SACRIFICE.
00:09:54.02\00:09:58.06
WELL NOW THERE'S A
LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
00:09:58.09\00:10:00.00
THERE ARE
PRINCIPALLY THREE VIEWS.
00:10:00.03\00:10:02.80
WHEN YOU READ REVELATION THERE'S
ONE GROUP THAT'S - THEY'RE
00:10:02.83\00:10:06.07
CALLED PRETERISTS AND
JUST THINK OF THE WORD PRE.
00:10:06.10\00:10:09.87
THEY BELIEVE THAT ALL OF
REVELATION WAS PRETTY MUCH
00:10:09.90\00:10:12.54
FULFILLED BY 100 A.D.. THEY
THINK NERO IS THE ANTICHRIST AND
00:10:12.57\00:10:15.84
THAT IT'S ALL
BEHIND US - GOOD PEOPLE.
00:10:15.88\00:10:19.08
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
THEN YOU HAVE FUTURISTS.
00:10:19.11\00:10:23.05
FUTURISTS ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE
POPULARIZED THE VERSION - THE
00:10:23.08\00:10:26.82
LEFT BEHIND SCENARIO WHERE MOST
OF REVELATION CHAPTER 4 - WHEN
00:10:26.86\00:10:30.66
JOHN SAYS 'I HEARD A VOICE AND
A TRUMPET' - THAT'S ALL FUTURE.
00:10:30.69\00:10:35.53
THEN YOU HAVE, WHERE I FALL
IN, WHAT THEY CALL HISTORISTS.
00:10:35.56\00:10:39.90
AND I AM IN THE COMPANY - THIS
IS - USED TO BE THE OLD VIEW.
00:10:39.93\00:10:43.81
IT'S NOT AS POPULAR AS IT
USED TO BE BUT IT'S WHAT THE
00:10:43.84\00:10:45.91
PROTESTANT REFORMERS BELIEVE IT
MEANS REVELATION IS COVERING A
00:10:45.94\00:10:50.18
PANORAMA OF HISTORY, FROM
THE FIRST COMING TO THE SECOND
00:10:50.21\00:10:53.48
COMING, AND YOU CAN KIND OF
TRACK THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
00:10:53.52\00:10:56.62
AND GOD'S PEOPLE
ACROSS THAT HORIZON.
00:10:56.65\00:11:00.22
AND SO I'LL JUST TELL YOU RIGHT
NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT THE TWO MAIN
00:11:00.26\00:11:03.49
VIEWS ARE THE FUTURIST VIEW -
THERE'S NOT AS MANY PRETERISTS -
00:11:03.53\00:11:06.73
AND THE HISTORIC
VIEW. THE FUTURIST VIEW IS
00:11:06.76\00:11:10.03
A FAIRLY NEW VIEW. IT
WAS REALLY POPULARIZED BY HAL
00:11:10.07\00:11:13.67
LINDSEY'S BOOK - I DON'T KNOW
IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A BOOK
00:11:13.70\00:11:15.87
CALLED THE LATE
GREAT PLANET EARTH.
00:11:15.90\00:11:18.04
AND IN THAT BOOK HE PREDICTED
THAT, BECAUSE ISRAEL WAS
00:11:18.07\00:11:20.34
ESTABLISHED AS A NATION IN 1948,
IN 1981 THE SECRET RAPTURE WILL
00:11:20.38\00:11:25.15
TAKE PLACE; IN 1988 SEVEN
YEARS LATER AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF
00:11:25.18\00:11:28.18
TRIBULATION JESUS WILL
COME. AND NONE OF IT HAPPENED.
00:11:28.22\00:11:32.32
AND HE'S STILL SELLING BOOKS.
BUT IT BECAME VERY POPULAR THEN.
00:11:32.35\00:11:38.56
I AM WITH THE GROUP THAT
BELIEVES THAT THE TRIBULATION
00:11:38.59\00:11:42.70
COMES BEFORE JESUS COMES.
THE OTHER GROUP BELIEVES THAT
00:11:42.73\00:11:47.47
WE ARE CAUGHT UP
BEFORE THE TRIBULATION.
00:11:47.50\00:11:50.04
I'D LOVE TO BELIEVE THAT BUT
I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
00:11:50.07\00:11:53.01
BIBLE TEACHES. AND WE
WANT TO KNOW - AND I'M
00:11:53.04\00:11:55.54
GOING TO GIVE YOU
BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE HERE.
00:11:55.58\00:11:57.71
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME THEN WE
CAN STILL LOVE AND RESPECT EACH
00:11:57.75\00:12:00.15
OTHER, BUT YOU OWE IT TO
YOURSELF TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND
00:12:00.18\00:12:02.55
YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT
MAY BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY, AMEN?
00:12:02.58\00:12:06.89
WE CAN DISAGREE AND
STILL BE AGREEABLE, RIGHT?
00:12:06.92\00:12:10.26
WILL JESUS COME
QUIETLY? LET'S LOOK AT WHAT
00:12:10.29\00:12:11.99
THE BIBLE SAYS. 1
THESSALONIANS 4:16, "FOR THE
00:12:12.03\00:12:15.86
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT WITH THE
00:12:15.90\00:12:18.83
VOICE OF THE
ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD.
00:12:18.87\00:12:21.54
AND THEN" - IT TELLS US -
"THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE."
00:12:21.57\00:12:24.34
A TRUMP. YOU READ
IN JEREMIAH 25:30 - IT
00:12:24.37\00:12:27.91
TELLS US, "THE LORD
WILL ROAR FROM ON HIGH.
00:12:27.94\00:12:31.58
HE WILL UTTER HIS VOICE
FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION.
00:12:31.61\00:12:34.55
HE WILL MIGHTILY
ROAR UPON HIS HABITATION.
00:12:34.58\00:12:37.69
HE WILL GIVE A
SHOUT." JESUS' COMING IS
00:12:37.72\00:12:40.92
A VERY LOUD EVENT. YOU
READ IN PSALM 50 - IF THIS
00:12:40.96\00:12:43.89
WAS THE ONLY ONE IT WOULD
BE PRETTY CONVINCING - IT SAYS
00:12:43.93\00:12:46.59
THERE, "OUR GOD SHALL COME AND
HE WILL NOT KEEP SILENT AND IT
00:12:46.63\00:12:51.47
WILL BE VERY TEMPESTUOUS"
- STORMY - "ROUND ABOUT HIM."
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.54
IT'S A GREAT CLIMATIC EVENT.
AND SOMEONE MIGHT BE THINKING,
00:12:54.57\00:12:58.51
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, THE BIBLE
SAYS HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF.
00:12:58.54\00:13:02.54
DOESN'T THAT MEAN
HE'S COMING QUIETLY?'
00:13:02.58\00:13:04.41
I DON'T THINK SO. YOU
CAN READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE
00:13:04.45\00:13:07.42
IT SAYS IN 2 PETER CHAPTER 3 IT
SAYS, "THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:13:07.45\00:13:11.42
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
IN WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS
00:13:11.45\00:13:14.99
AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE" -
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DAY THAT
00:13:15.02\00:13:17.16
HE COMES LIKE A THIEF?
NOTICE, "HEAVENS PASS AWAY WITH
00:13:17.19\00:13:20.10
GREAT NOISE" - THERE'S A
NOISE AGAIN - "AND THE ELEMENTS
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.83
WILL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT.
AND THE EARTH AND THE WORKS THAT
00:13:22.86\00:13:26.37
ARE IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
SO, WHEN JESUS COMES S A THIEF,
00:13:26.40\00:13:30.64
DOES IT SOUND TO YOU LIKE
LIFE GOES ON HERE ON EARTH?
00:13:30.67\00:13:35.44
HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF.
THAT JUST MEANS IT'S A SURPRISE.
00:13:35.48\00:13:38.98
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
TO TELL YOU, BUT I'VE NOT ALWAYS
00:13:39.01\00:13:40.38
BEEN A CHRISTIAN.
I USED TO BE A THIEF.
00:13:40.42\00:13:42.78
I WOULD BREAK INTO HOUSES AND
STEAL - RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA,
00:13:42.82\00:13:46.39
ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I USED
TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA.
00:13:46.42\00:13:49.06
NOT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO
I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING.
00:13:49.09\00:13:51.06
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) BUT I NEVER
SENT OUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND
00:13:51.09\00:13:54.60
SAID 'I'LL BE COMING
JUST ONE TO LET YOU KNOW.'
00:13:54.63\00:13:56.87
IT WAS A SURPRISE. SO
THAT'S WHAT JESUS IS SAYING
00:13:56.90\00:13:59.47
IT'S GOING TO SURPRISE
PEOPLE - BUT WHEN HE COMES.
00:13:59.50\00:14:02.80
THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW.
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:14:02.84\00:14:07.41
IN JUST A MOMENT WE'RE GOING TO
RETURN TO TODAY'S PRESENATION.
00:14:07.44\00:14:11.05
HAVE YOU EVER WISHED THAT
YOU COULD BE IN A WORLD WHERE
00:14:11.08\00:14:13.18
THERE'S NO MORE PAIN AND SORROW?
TO BE DELIVERED FROM THIS WORLD
00:14:13.21\00:14:16.32
OF SUFFERING,
HEARTACHE, AND GRIEF?
00:14:16.35\00:14:18.62
WELL, IT'S TRUE, JESUS IS COMING
AGAIN AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL

LET'S GET BACK, NOW, TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:14:49.32\00:14:52.85
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:52.89\00:14:56.19
>>NOW WHO IS GOING TO SEE CHRIST
WHEN HE RETURNS? IS IT ONLY A
00:14:56.22\00:15:00.33
SELECT GROUP THAT DISAPPEARS
AND - LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS.
00:15:00.36\00:15:04.80
I CAN GIVE YOU SEVERAL VERSES
HERE - MATTHEW 24:30, "AND THEN
00:15:04.83\00:15:08.40
SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON
OF MAN IN HEAVEN AND THEN SHALL
00:15:08.44\00:15:12.31
ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH
MOURN AND THEY SHALL SEE THE SON
00:15:12.34\00:15:16.58
OF MAN COMING IN THE IN THE
CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND
00:15:16.61\00:15:19.98
GREAT GLORY" - THEY'RE GOING TO
SEE HIM COMING - GREAT POWER -
00:15:20.02\00:15:22.58
GREAT GLORY -
MEANS BRILLIANT SPLENDOR.
00:15:22.62\00:15:25.49
AND AGAIN, REVELATION 1:7.
BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH THE CLOUDS
00:15:25.52\00:15:29.62
AND EVERY EYE WILL
SEE HIM. WHO WILL BE WITH
00:15:29.66\00:15:32.89
JESUS WHEN HE COMES?
HE'S NOT COMING ALONE.
00:15:32.93\00:15:37.50
THE BIBLE SAYS THE SON OF MAN
WILL COME IN HIS GLORY - THAT'S
00:15:37.53\00:15:40.90
THAT SPLENDOR -
AND HOW MANY? >>ALL
00:15:40.94\00:15:43.97
>>ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM.
WELL HOW MANY ANGELS ARE THERE?
00:15:44.01\00:15:49.98
LET'S THINK ABOUT
THAT FOR A MINUTE.
00:15:50.01\00:15:53.48
MOST OF US HAVE
A GUARDIAN ANGEL.
00:15:53.52\00:15:55.48
BIBLE SAYS JESUS SAID, SPEAKING
OF CHILDREN, THEIR ANGELS DO
00:15:55.52\00:15:59.39
BEHOLD THE FACE OF MY FATHER'
- IMPLYING THAT THEY'VE GOT AN
00:15:59.42\00:16:01.82
ANGEL WATCHING THEM.
SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE IN THE
00:16:01.86\00:16:06.06
WORLD - GOD'S ANGELS
NOT ONLY WATCH OVER PEOPLE,
00:16:06.09\00:16:09.20
THEY'RE DOING HIS WORK.
THEY'RE THE MINISTERING SPIRITS.
00:16:09.23\00:16:11.47
THEY'RE THE ARMY OF GOD -
THEY'RE CALLED THE HEAVENLY HOST
00:16:11.50\00:16:14.04
- VERY REAL CREATURES
WITH INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY -
00:16:14.07\00:16:17.51
BILLIONS OF THEM. NOW
ONE ANGEL CAME DOWN FROM
00:16:17.54\00:16:22.08
GOD, YOU READ IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IN THE DAYS OF KING
00:16:22.11\00:16:24.38
HEZEKEIAH - THE ANGEL OF THE
LORD WENT THROUGH THE ARMY OF
00:16:24.41\00:16:27.05
SYRIA - ONE ANGEL KILLED 185,000
ENEMY SOLDIERS IN ONE DAY.
00:16:27.08\00:16:33.12
THE ANGELS THAT WERE GUARDING
THE TOMB OF JESUS - I'M SORRY -
00:16:33.15\00:16:36.29
WHEN THE ANGELS CAME TO THE TOMB
OF JESUS AT THE RESURRECTION,
00:16:36.32\00:16:40.53
THE ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
WERE GUARDING THE TOMB WERE SO
00:16:40.56\00:16:42.70
FRIGHTENED BY THE GLORY OF THAT
ANGEL THAT CAME DOWN AND ROLLED
00:16:42.73\00:16:45.23
AWAY THE STONE, THEY FELL
OVER AS THOUGH THEY WERE DEAD.
00:16:45.27\00:16:48.04
ONE ANGEL. CAN YOU
IMAGINE THE HEAVEN BEING
00:16:48.07\00:16:51.04
FILLED WITH THE BRILLIANCE
OF BILLIONS OF ANGELS?
00:16:51.07\00:16:56.51
HE DIDN'T SAY WE'RE
LEAVING ANY OF 'EM BEHIND.
00:16:56.54\00:16:58.05
HE SAID ALL THE ANGELS.
ALL THE ANGELS HAVE BEEN
00:16:58.08\00:17:01.18
INVOLVED IN OUR SALVATION.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY
00:17:01.22\00:17:03.69
INTERESTED IN US BEING REDEEMED
AND YOU'LL SEE, THEY PLAY A PART
00:17:03.72\00:17:07.36
IN OUR BEING
COLLECTED, SO TO SPEAK.
00:17:07.39\00:17:11.06
WHAT WILL THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE
GLORY OF LORD'S COMING AND ALL
00:17:11.09\00:17:14.76
THESE ANGELS DO TO
THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY?
00:17:14.83\00:17:17.90
"WHEN JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED
FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY
00:17:17.93\00:17:21.57
ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING
VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT
00:17:21.60\00:17:27.44
GOD." AND, AGAIN, THAT WAS 2
00:17:27.48\00:17:29.48
THESSALONIANS,
CHAPTER 1, VERSES 7 AND 8.
00:17:29.51\00:17:32.65
YOU CAN READ IN 2 THESSALONIANS
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 8, "AND THEN
00:17:32.68\00:17:36.28
SHALL THAT WICKED ONE BE
REVEALED WHOM THE LORD WILL
00:17:36.32\00:17:39.79
CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF
HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY WITH THE
00:17:39.82\00:17:43.69
BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING."
THE WICKED ONE'S DESTROYED BY
00:17:43.73\00:17:47.13
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WHEN YOU'RE
00:17:47.13\00:17:50.63
OUT THE FIELD ON A NICE SUNNY
DAY AND YOU JUST CURIOUS, YOU
00:17:50.67\00:17:52.83
PICK UP A STONE, YOU TURN AND
YOU SEE ALL THESE CRAWLY THINGS
00:17:52.87\00:17:55.27
START RUNNING FOR THE
DARK. AND AT NIGHT YOU CAN LIGHT
00:17:55.30\00:18:00.71
SOMETHING OUT THE WOODS AND ALL
OF THE MOTHS COME TO THE LIGHT.
00:18:00.74\00:18:04.48
YOU'VE GOT TWO
KINDS OF BUGS OUT THERE.
00:18:04.51\00:18:06.92
YOU'VE GOT BUGS LIKE COCKROACHES
THAT RUN FROM THE LIGHT, AND
00:18:06.95\00:18:09.92
YOU'VE GOT MOTHS AND
BUTTERFLIES THAT LOVE THE LIGHT.
00:18:09.95\00:18:13.19
AND THAT'S THE KIND OF
PEOPLE YOU GOT WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:18:13.22\00:18:15.79
YOU'VE GOT YOUR COCKROACHES
AND YOUR BUTTERFLIES.
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.99
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SO THOSE THAT
ARE - IT'S REALLY - IF YOU DON'T
00:18:18.03\00:18:22.23
HAVE THE LORD IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
ARE GOING TO BE TERRIFIED BY HIS
00:18:22.26\00:18:26.17
COMING. BUT IF
YOU LOVE THE LORD, THE
00:18:26.20\00:18:27.80
BIBLE CALLS HIS
COMING THE BLESSED HOPE.
00:18:27.84\00:18:30.31
>>AMEN. >>BUT
HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING A
00:18:30.34\00:18:31.71
LIFE OF SELFISHNESS AND
SIN, IT'S GOING TO FRIGHTEN
00:18:31.74\00:18:34.21
YOU AND IT SHOULD. GOD
WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE,
00:18:34.24\00:18:37.01
BUT HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO
HAVE PEACE IF YOU'RE ON YOUR
00:18:37.05\00:18:39.31
WAY TO DESTRUCTION. HE
WANTS YOU TO BE TROUBLED
00:18:39.35\00:18:41.85
UNTIL YOU
REPENT AND COME TO HIM.
00:18:41.88\00:18:44.32
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
COMING WILL DESTROY THEM.
00:18:44.35\00:18:46.82
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RIGHTEOUS
WHO ARE DEAD AT JESUS' COMING?
00:18:46.86\00:18:51.69
FIRST WE'LL START WITH
THE RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD.
00:18:51.73\00:18:53.56
YOU READ THERE THE DEAD
IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST.
00:18:53.60\00:18:56.67
THAT'S WHERE WE READ IN 1
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4 "THE
00:18:56.70\00:18:59.27
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND
FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT;" - THE
00:18:59.30\00:19:01.90
VOICE OF THE
ARCHANGEL, THE TRUMPET OF GOD.
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.51
SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT IS THE
LOUDEST VERSE IN THE BIBLE AND
00:19:04.54\00:19:08.54
THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
FIRST. SO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE
00:19:08.58\00:19:11.88
A SECRET STILL? AT
THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS TO
00:19:11.91\00:19:15.78
THE LIVING WHO ARE
- WHEN THE LORD COMES?
00:19:15.82\00:19:18.89
THE LIVING AND THE RESURRECTED
SAINTS, I SHOULD SAY.
00:19:18.92\00:19:21.96
SO YOU GET THE DEAD
IN CHRIST THEY RISE.
00:19:21.99\00:19:23.86
SOME OF US WE HOPE TO BE ALIVE
WHEN JESUS COMES - I'D LIKE TO
00:19:23.89\00:19:26.43
IF I CAN, AVOID DEATH.
WOODY ALLEN SAID ONE TIME,
00:19:26.46\00:19:31.17
'I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THERE
00:19:31.20\00:19:32.77
WHEN IT HAPPENS.' (LAUGHTER) SO
MOST OF US ARE PREWIRED BY GOD
00:19:32.80\00:19:38.54
THAT WE'D LIKE
TO STAY ALIVE RIGHT?
00:19:38.57\00:19:40.81
SO WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE?
00:19:40.84\00:19:42.61
IT SAYS THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARE
RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE AND THOSE
00:19:42.64\00:19:45.78
OF US WHO ARE ALIVE
WILL BE CHANGED IN A MOMENT.
00:19:45.81\00:19:49.65
IT TELLS US THIS CORRUPTIBLE
WILL PUT ON INCORRUPTION -
00:19:49.68\00:19:52.72
CORRUPTIBLE MEANS OUR BODIES
- WE, YOU KNOW, GET OLD, THEY
00:19:52.75\00:19:54.92
DECAY, THEY DIE.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THESE
00:19:54.96\00:19:57.26
GLORIFIED BODIES - LIKE THE
KIND ADAM AND EVE HAD BEFORE SIN
00:19:57.29\00:20:01.56
- BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT OUT.
'THIS CORRUPTIBLE WILL PUT ON
00:20:01.60\00:20:05.07
INCORRUPTION AND THIS
MORTAL WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
00:20:05.10\00:20:08.30
THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE
AND REMAIN WILL BE CAUGHT UP
00:20:08.34\00:20:11.44
TOGETHER.' WHAT
DIRECTION DO WE GO?
00:20:11.47\00:20:12.94
>>UP. >>THAT'S WHEN IT'S
00:20:12.97\00:20:14.28
TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE.
WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP, OR
00:20:14.31\00:20:16.78
RAPTURED UP TOGETHER
WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS.
00:20:16.81\00:20:20.85
WE MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
SO JESUS' FEET DON'T TOUCH THE
00:20:20.88\00:20:23.12
GROUND WHEN HE COMES
NEXT TIME, WE MEET HIM.
00:20:23.15\00:20:26.49
AND CHRIST SAID THIS
IS HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN.
00:20:26.52\00:20:27.96
HE SAID, 'I GO TO PREPARE A
PLACE FOR YOU AND IF I GO AND
00:20:27.99\00:20:30.76
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL
COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO
00:20:30.79\00:20:34.60
MYSELF - THAT'S WHEN WE'RE
CAUGHT UP - 'THAT WHERE I AM' -
00:20:34.63\00:20:36.87
HE TAKES US WHERE?
BACK TO HEAVEN - 'YOU
00:20:36.90\00:20:38.33
MAY BE ALSO' - RIGHT?
WE'VE READ WHERE IT SAYS THE
00:20:38.37\00:20:41.67
LORD'S COMING IS LITERAL,
PERSONAL, VISIBLE, AUDIBLE,
00:20:41.70\00:20:45.94
PHYSICAL, VITALITY -
VITALIZING, GLORIOUS, CLIMATIC -
00:20:45.97\00:20:50.41
THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE.
EVERY SENSE IN YOUR BEING
00:20:50.45\00:20:53.21
WILL KNOW WHEN JESUS COMES.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TEXT SOMEONE
00:20:53.25\00:20:55.88
AND SAY, 'DID YOU
CATCH IT?' 'CATCH WHAT?'
00:20:55.92\00:20:57.45
'JESUS CAME WITH ALL THE
ANGELS YESTERDAY DID YOU?'
00:20:57.49\00:20:59.85
- 'I MISSED IT. I DID
NOTICE SOME PLANES GOING
00:20:59.89\00:21:02.79
DOWN AND CARS CAREENING OFF THE
ROAD, BUT - THERE WAS A CLUMP OF
00:21:02.82\00:21:06.19
CLOTHES IN THE BED
NEXT TO ME WHEN I WOKE UP.
00:21:06.23\00:21:08.86
I THINK IT WAS MY SPOUSE BUT
THEY'RE GONE NOW.' YEAH, I KNOW
00:21:08.90\00:21:12.37
I'M TEASING MAYBE. I
DON'T MEAN TO BE UNKIND BUT,
00:21:12.40\00:21:14.30
TO ME, I ACTUALLY KNOW PEOPLE
WHO THINK 'WELL, IF I'M NOT
00:21:14.34\00:21:18.91
READY WHEN JESUS
COMES, NO BIG DEAL.
00:21:18.94\00:21:21.98
IF MY SPOUSE - THEY'RE
CHRISTIAN, THEY BELIEVE, IF THEY
00:21:22.01\00:21:25.01
DISAPPEAR THEN I'LL GET SERIOUS.
I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
00:21:25.05\00:21:27.32
TRIBULATION BUT
THEN I'LL KNOW IT'S TRUE.
00:21:27.35\00:21:30.15
AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY
PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE THINKING
00:21:30.19\00:21:32.35
THEY'RE GOING TO
GET A SECOND CHANCE.
00:21:32.39\00:21:34.92
THAT'S WHY IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS
THING TO NOT UNDERSTAND THE HOW
00:21:34.96\00:21:39.83
OF HIS COMING.
ANOTHER REASON WAS BECAUSE
00:21:39.86\00:21:42.30
THE DEVILS GOT A LOT OF
IMPERSONATORS OUT THERE.
00:21:42.33\00:21:46.70
WHAT SOLEMN WARNING DOES JESUS
GIVE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING?
00:21:46.74\00:21:49.87
AS YOU START READING MATTHEW
11 - FIRST THING HE TOLD - I'M
00:21:49.90\00:21:53.14
SORRY - MATTHEW CHAPTER 24.
FIRST THING HE SAYS IS BE AWARE
00:21:53.17\00:21:57.11
THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.
HE REPEATS IT OVER AND OVER.
00:21:57.15\00:22:00.45
'MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME
SAYING I AM CHRIST AND DECEIVE
00:22:00.48\00:22:04.72
MANY.' AND I REMEMBER BAPTIZING
A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS IN
00:22:04.75\00:22:08.86
JONESTOWN WITH JIM JONES.
SHE ESCAPED JUST BEFORE THINGS
00:22:08.89\00:22:12.76
ALL WENT SIDEWAYS THERE
AND TOLD HORRIBLE STORIES.
00:22:12.79\00:22:17.00
HE STARTED OUT METHODIST
PREACHER - GOOD CHURCH -
00:22:17.03\00:22:19.47
PREACHING FROM THE BIBLE
AND JUST - BUT HE WAS A FALSE
00:22:19.50\00:22:22.80
PROPHET. SEE, HE SAID,
ULTIMATELY, HE WAS CHRIST.
00:22:22.84\00:22:27.48
JESUS SAID THERE
WILL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS.
00:22:27.51\00:22:30.55
THEY WILL SHOW
SIGNS AND WONDERS.
00:22:30.58\00:22:32.41
ARE MIRACLE, SIGNS, AND WONDERS
THE EVIDENCE OF WHO IS REAL AND
00:22:32.45\00:22:35.05
WHO'S NOT? CAN
THE DEVIL DO MIRACLES?
00:22:35.08\00:22:37.09
>>YES. >>HE CAN.
00:22:37.12\00:22:38.55
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
AND THEY'LL DO THIS TO DECEIVE,
00:22:38.59\00:22:41.46
IF IT WERE
POSSIBLE, THE VERY ELECT.
00:22:41.49\00:22:42.96
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED TO KNOW
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BECAUSE THE
00:22:42.99\00:22:45.26
DEVIL'S GOING TO HAVE POWERFUL
DECEPTIONS IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:22:45.29\00:22:48.26
SOME OF US REMEMBER
THE HEAVEN'S GATE GROUP.
00:22:48.30\00:22:50.93
MARSHALL APPLEWHITE - 39 PEOPLE
BELIEVED THIS POOR DERANGED MAN
00:22:50.97\00:22:55.90
WHO SAID THAT HE WAS A
REINCARNATION OF CHRIST AND THEY
00:22:55.94\00:22:59.34
NEEDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE SO THEY
COULD GET ON A SPACESHIP THAT
00:22:59.37\00:23:02.91
WAS BEHIND THE HALE-BOTT COMET -
HALE-BOTT COMET - AND THEY TOOK
00:23:02.94\00:23:08.25
THIS DEADLY COCKTAIL. 39
PEOPLE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
00:23:08.28\00:23:12.89
AND HE SAID GOD WAS SENDING
MESSAGES THROUGH STAR TREK.
00:23:12.92\00:23:16.76
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GOD
SENDING MESSAGES, BUT IT WASN'T
00:23:16.79\00:23:18.89
JESUS. WHAT'S
GOING TO PREVENT THE
00:23:18.93\00:23:21.40
RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING
DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:23:21.43\00:23:24.40
ISAIAH 8:20 - THAT'S WHY
WE WANT TO KNOW YOUR BIBLES.
00:23:24.43\00:23:27.74
I HOPE YOU CHECK ON
EVERYTHING I'M SAYING.
00:23:27.77\00:23:29.57
YOU CAN TAKE NOTES.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'TO THE
00:23:29.60\00:23:31.87
LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY.
THAT'S HOW THE BIBLE REFERS TO
00:23:31.91\00:23:34.08
THE BIBLE - THE LAW AND THE
PROPHETS - 'IF THEY SPEAK NOT
00:23:34.11\00:23:36.64
ACCORDING TO THIS WORD
IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIGHT IN
00:23:36.68\00:23:39.41
THEM.' YOU MEASURE EVERYTHING BY
THE SCRIPTURES YOU NEED TO KNOW.
00:23:39.45\00:23:43.39
JESUS SAID, 'SEEK
AND YOU'LL FIND.' AMEN?
00:23:43.42\00:23:46.42
WHAT WILL THE WICKED
SAY WHEN JESUS RETURNS?
00:23:46.45\00:23:49.92
'AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND
THE GREAT MEN AND THE RICH MEN
00:23:49.96\00:23:53.53
IN THE CHIEF CAPTAINS AND THE
MIGHTY MEN AND EVERY BONDMAN AND
00:23:53.56\00:23:57.13
EVERY FREE MAN' - SPEAKING
OF THE LOST - 'THEY SAID TO THE
00:23:57.17\00:24:00.24
MOUNTAINS AND TO THE ROCKS,
'FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE
00:24:00.27\00:24:03.84
FACE OF HIM THAT
SITS ON THE THRONE.
00:24:03.87\00:24:06.51
FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH
IS COME AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO
00:24:06.54\00:24:10.08
STAND?'' I TOLD
YOU, ONCE AGAIN, TWO
00:24:10.11\00:24:11.58
KINDS OF PEOPLE - YOU'VE
GOT THE ONES WHO KNOW CHRIST
00:24:11.61\00:24:14.28
AND HE'S IN THEIR HEART.
YOU HAVE THOSE WHO HAVE RESISTED
00:24:14.32\00:24:16.65
HIM AND THEY BECOME HIS ENEMIES.
YOU'VE EITHER GOT THE LOVE OF
00:24:16.69\00:24:20.42
GOD OR THE WRATH OF THE
LAMB. I WANT HIM TO COME AS MY
00:24:20.46\00:24:23.16
LORD AND MY SAVIOR
NOT AS MY ADVERSARY. AMEN?
00:24:23.19\00:24:27.50
WHAT IS THE PRIME REASON
FOR JESUS' SECOND COMING?
00:24:27.50\00:24:31.37
IS HE COMING TO
GET EVEN WITH THE LOST?
00:24:31.40\00:24:33.94
NO, HE'S COMING
TO REDEEM HIS OWN.
00:24:33.97\00:24:36.47
JOHN 14:3, "I WILL COME AGAIN
AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT
00:24:36.50\00:24:41.58
WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE"
- WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE.
00:24:41.61\00:24:44.68
REVELATION SAYS GOD,
HIMSELF, WILL BE WITH US.
00:24:44.71\00:24:47.52
WE WILL SEE HIS
FACE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:24:47.55\00:24:52.05
"NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS
DARKLY BUT THEN FACE TO FACE."
00:24:52.09\00:24:55.19
1 CORINTHIANS 13.
WHAT A PRIVILEGE THAT WE
00:24:55.22\00:24:58.23
CAN SEE GOD FACE TO FACE.
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, GOD IS GIVING
00:24:58.26\00:25:02.43
US THE SIGNS ALONG THE WAY AND I
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE
00:25:02.46\00:25:08.27
ARE SOME DIFFICULT DAYS
AHEAD. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING
00:25:08.30\00:25:11.67
TO BE A
TRIBULATION. SEE, I BELIEVE THE
00:25:11.71\00:25:13.81
LORD IS COMING. I
BELIEVE WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP,
00:25:13.84\00:25:15.98
BUT I BELIEVE THE TRIBULATION
COMES BEFORE THE RAPTURE.
00:25:16.01\00:25:19.05
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>DOES GOD SAVE HIS PEOPLE
00:25:19.08\00:25:20.88
FROM TROUBLE OR
THROUGH IT? >>THROUGH IT.
00:25:20.92\00:25:23.95
DID GOD SAVE NOAH FROM THE
FLOOD OR DID HE SAVE HIM THROUGH
00:25:23.99\00:25:26.55
THE STORM? >THROUGH THE STORM.
00:25:26.59\00:25:28.46
>>DID GOD SAVE JOSEPH FROM
HIS TRIALS OR THROUGH THEM?
00:25:28.49\00:25:32.19
HOW ABOUT JOB? WAS HE
SAVED FROM TRIBULATION
00:25:32.23\00:25:34.83
OR THROUGH TRIBULATION?
DOESN'T PAUL SAY 'IT IS THROUGH
00:25:34.83\00:25:38.13
MUCH TRIBULATION WE WILL
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD'?
00:25:38.17\00:25:42.17
GOD IS COMING FOR A CHURCH
WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE OR ANY
00:25:42.20\00:25:45.37
SUCH THINGS. YOU GET
OUT THE SPOTS AND THE
00:25:45.41\00:25:47.54
WRINKLE WITH A HOT
IRON AND HOT WATER.
00:25:47.58\00:25:49.88
SO THE IDEA THAT THE CHURCH IS
NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ANY KIND
00:25:49.91\00:25:52.81
OF PURGING OR PURIFICATION
BEFORE THAT - WHEN DOES A CHURCH
00:25:52.85\00:25:56.15
SHINE THE BRIGHTEST, IN
THE LIGHT OR IN THE DARKNESS?
00:25:56.18\00:26:00.46
THERE IS GOING TO BE A
TIME OF GREAT DARKNESS.
00:26:00.49\00:26:02.46
JESUS SAID IT WAS AT
MIDNIGHT THE CRY WAS GIVEN.
00:26:02.49\00:26:05.23
BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM
COMES. AND SO THERE ARE SOME
00:26:05.26\00:26:08.03
DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD.
I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
00:26:08.06\00:26:11.00
YOU KNOW WHY? GOD
SAID IF YOU MAKE THE MOST
00:26:11.03\00:26:15.00
HIGH YOUR HABITATION
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID.
00:26:15.04\00:26:17.81
>>AMEN. >>HE HAS GIVEN US SIGNS.
00:26:17.84\00:26:20.64
AND SOME OF CHRISTIANS ARE
LOSING HOPE, RIGHT HERE ON THE
00:26:20.68\00:26:23.41
BORDERS OF THE
GREATEST EVENT IN HISTORY.
00:26:23.45\00:26:26.82
YOU KNOW, I LOVE HISTORY.
I REMEMBER READING ABOUT
00:26:26.85\00:26:29.25
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WHEN HE WAS
CROSSING THE OCEAN, YOU KNOW,
00:26:29.28\00:26:32.29
AND HE JUST WENT LAUNCHING OUT
AND HE SAID, 'WE'RE GOING TO GO
00:26:32.32\00:26:35.19
DISCOVER A NEW PASSAGE.' NONE OF
THE EXPLORERS FROM PORTUGAL OR
00:26:35.22\00:26:39.36
SPAIN WENT VERY FAR INTO
THE ATLANTIC AS THEY HAD RUMORS
00:26:39.39\00:26:41.96
YOU WERE GOING TO SAIL OFF THE
EARTH, THERE WERE DRAGONS OUT
00:26:42.00\00:26:44.00
THERE, AND ALL
THESE SCARY STORIES.
00:26:44.03\00:26:46.87
AND HE SAID 'WE'RE JUST GOING
TO SAIL WEST UNTIL WE FIND OUR
00:26:46.90\00:26:50.87
OBJECTIVE.' AND, YOU KNOW,
AFTER TWO MONTHS IN AUGUST AND
00:26:50.91\00:26:54.58
SEPTEMBER, THOSE
SAILORS WERE READY TO MUTINY.
00:26:54.61\00:26:57.28
AND COLUMBUS -
YOU - READ HIS DIARY.
00:26:57.31\00:26:59.65
HE PRAYED A LOT.
HE BELIEVED HE WAS
00:26:59.68\00:27:02.15
ON A DIVINE QUEST. HE
FINALLY TOLD HIS SAILORS,
00:27:02.18\00:27:05.09
GIVE ME THREE MORE DAYS. IF
WE DON'T SEE LAND WE'LL TURN
00:27:05.12\00:27:07.26
AROUND.' CAN YOU
IMAGINE WHAT WAS AT STAKE?
00:27:07.29\00:27:10.19
BUT AS THOSE DAYS PASSED THEY
BEGAN TO SEE SIGNS - OVERTURNED
00:27:10.23\00:27:14.83
CANOE WENT BY AND THEY SAW
COCONUTS FLOAT BY - SOME TUFTS
00:27:14.86\00:27:18.57
OF VEGETATION. WATER
BEGAN TO CHANGE COLOR AND
00:27:18.60\00:27:21.37
SALTINESS CHANGED IN THE WATER.
THEY NOTICED WHEN THEY WERE
00:27:21.40\00:27:24.24
SOUNDING THAT IT
WAS GETTING SHALLOWER.
00:27:24.27\00:27:27.14
THEY - SONGBIRDS CAME BY - THEY
COULDN'T SEE LAND BUT THEY SAW
00:27:27.18\00:27:30.95
THE SIGNS THAT
THEY WERE NEARING SHORE.
00:27:30.98\00:27:33.75
AND THEY WERE ALL ENCOURAGED
BY THE SIGNS TO PRESS ON.
00:27:33.78\00:27:36.38
FINALLY, AT THE END OF THE THIRD
DAY, AT NIGHT, THEY SAW A FIRE
00:27:36.42\00:27:40.52
IN THE DISTANCE.
NEXT MORNING THEY SPOTTED
00:27:40.56\00:27:43.16
LAND - SAN SALVADOR.
WELL, FRIENDS, WE SEE THE SIGNS.
00:27:43.19\00:27:47.40
JESUS IS ABOUT TO
COME. I WANT TO BE READY.
00:27:47.46\00:27:49.86
HOW ABOUT YOU? >>AMEN.
00:27:49.90\00:27:54.60
