00:00:04.60\00:00:06.87
>>CONTRARY TO THE POPULAR BELIEF
THAT LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES THE
00:00:11.24\00:00:14.28
SAME SPOT TWICE, IT'S ACTUALLY
BEEN KNOWN TO STRIKE OBJECTS,
00:00:14.31\00:00:17.91
EVEN PEOPLE, MULTIPLE
TIMES DURING INTENSE ELECTRICAL
00:00:17.95\00:00:21.02
STORMS. DURING ONE
STORM, FOR INSTANCE,
00:00:21.05\00:00:24.05
THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
IN NEW YORK WAS STRUCK 15
00:00:24.09\00:00:27.56
TIMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES.
SOMETIMES A SINGLE BOLT OF
00:00:27.59\00:00:31.63
LIGHTNING WILL REALLY CONSIST
OF AS MANY AS 42 DISCHARGES
00:00:31.66\00:00:35.80
STRIKING THE SAME SPOT IN SUCH
QUICK SUCCESSION THAT IT APPEARS
00:00:35.83\00:00:39.77
LIKE A SINGLE FLASH, BUT
IT ALL HAPPENS IN LESS THAN
00:00:39.80\00:00:42.44
ONE-QUARTER OF A SECOND.
LIGHTNING, FROM ONE CLOUD TO
00:00:42.47\00:00:45.44
ANOTHER, IS ALSO VERY COMMON AND
IT'S BEEN RECORDED TO JUMP AS
00:00:45.47\00:00:49.18
FAR AS 20 MILES BETWEEN CLOUDS.
BUT WHETHER LIGHTNING IS MOVING
00:00:49.21\00:00:53.18
FROM CLOUD TO CLOUD OR CLOUD TO
GROUND OR GROUND TO CLOUD, IT'S
00:00:53.21\00:00:56.92
HARD TO MISS THE
BRILLIANT BLINDING FLASH THAT
00:00:56.95\00:00:59.82
ILLUMINATES THE SKY. IN
MATTHEW 24 JESUS SAID, "FOR
00:00:59.85\00:01:04.19
AS LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE EAST
AND FLASHES TO THE WEST, SO ALSO
00:01:04.23\00:01:08.60
WILL THE COMING OF
THE SON OF MAN BE."
00:01:08.63\00:01:11.17
IN SPITE OF HIS WORDS, SOME
STILL BELIEVE THAT HIS RETURN IS
00:01:11.20\00:01:14.47
GOING TO BE A SECRET.
WELL, WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
00:01:14.50\00:01:17.64
JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:01:17.67\00:01:20.81
REALLY SAYS ABOUT
THE RETURN OF CHRIST.
00:01:20.84\00:01:24.28
>>PEOPLE KNOW THAT
SOMETHING UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING.
00:01:28.52\00:01:34.02
IN 2010 THE PEW RESEARCH GROUP
DID A SURVEY AND IN THAT SURVEY
00:01:34.06\00:01:40.46
THEY EXPLAINED THAT BY THE YEAR
2050 - 50 ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF
00:01:40.50\00:01:48.67
THE PEOPLE BELIEVED
THAT JESUS WOULD COME.
00:01:48.70\00:01:51.81
I THINK 40 OF THOSE 60
PERCENT WERE ABSOLUTELY SURE.
00:01:51.84\00:01:54.64
20 PERCENT SAID 'PROBABLY'
AND THAT'S IN NORTH AMERICA, OF
00:01:54.68\00:01:58.01
COURSE. AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO
00:01:58.05\00:02:00.45
BE TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT
THE PINNACLE OF PROPHECY AND
00:02:00.48\00:02:03.95
SIGNS OF JESUS' COMING. YOU
KNOW, IT'S VERY INTERESTING,
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.72
WE'RE GOING TO BE FINDING
THAT THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS A
00:02:07.76\00:02:10.39
PARTNER BOOK FOR
REVELATION. SO WE'LL BE GOING
00:02:10.43\00:02:12.76
BACK AND FORTH.
REVELATION DOES A LOT OF
00:02:12.79\00:02:14.93
REFERRING TO THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12
00:02:14.96\00:02:18.73
AND HE SAYS, IN VERSE 4, "BUT
YOU DANIEL SHUT UP THE WORDS AND
00:02:18.77\00:02:23.44
SEAL THE BOOK UNTIL
THE TIME OF THE END."
00:02:23.47\00:02:25.91
SO NO QUESTION ABOUT
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:02:25.94\00:02:28.28
AND HE GOES ON TO SAY,
"MANY WILL RUN TO AND FRO."
00:02:28.31\00:02:32.15
FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH
00:02:32.18\00:02:34.32
THE WORD OF GOD
AND DISCOVER TRUTH.
00:02:34.35\00:02:38.09
BUT YOU CAN'T MISS THE POINT
THAT PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AND
00:02:38.12\00:02:40.72
FRO FASTER - DO YOU REALIZE, FOR
ABOUT SIX THOUSAND YEARS, PEOPLE
00:02:40.76\00:02:43.76
- THE FASTEST
THING YOU GOT IS A HORSE?
00:02:43.79\00:02:46.26
JUST CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE
THE CHANGE THAT'S BEEN SEEN.
00:02:46.29\00:02:49.40
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, BACK
IN 2006 - I KNOW IT'S AN OLD
00:02:49.43\00:02:52.13
ARTICLE BUT IT
STILL BEARS THE POINT.
00:02:52.17\00:02:53.77
THAT'S THE MAGAZINE COVER,
IF YOU WANT TO REFERENCE IT.
00:02:53.80\00:02:55.80
THERE'S A QUOTE IN THERE.
PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FAR FROM
00:02:55.84\00:02:58.94
HOME MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY AND
00:02:58.97\00:03:03.51
KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.
THIS IS A PICTURE HERE ON THE
00:03:03.55\00:03:07.12
SCREEN OF THE
GREAT HADRON ACCELERATOR.
00:03:07.15\00:03:10.65
IT IS - IT'S THE
LARGEST EXPERIMENT IN THE WORLD.
00:03:10.69\00:03:13.42
IT'S THE BIGGEST
MACHINE IN THE WORLD.
00:03:13.46\00:03:15.56
IT'S UNDER THE GROUND ABOUT
500 FEET - A 17-MILE TUNNEL IN
00:03:15.59\00:03:21.86
GENEVA UNDERNEATH THE GROUND
WHERE THE - ALL THESE EUROPEAN
00:03:21.90\00:03:25.97
GOVERNMENTS GOT TOGETHER
AND THEY POURED LIKE 13 BILLION
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.94
DOLLARS INTO BUILDING THIS
TESTING EQUIPMENT TO UNDERSTAND
00:03:28.97\00:03:34.48
PHYSICS. AND AS
THEY HYPER ACCELERATE
00:03:34.51\00:03:38.48
THESE PARTICLES THEY SMASH THEM
AN THEN MEASURE WHAT THEY FIND
00:03:38.51\00:03:41.28
TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT IS THE BASE CORE OF
00:03:41.32\00:03:43.79
WHAT LIFE IS MADE OF?
WHAT IS THE STUFF OF LIFE?
00:03:43.82\00:03:47.32
NOW ACTUALLY THE NICKNAME IS
THE MACHINE HAS BEEN BUILT TO
00:03:47.36\00:03:50.69
DISCOVER - THEY
CALL IT THE GOD PARTICLE.
00:03:50.73\00:03:52.99
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE?
THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO TRY
00:03:53.03\00:03:56.03
- 'WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE
ANSWERS OF WHERE EVERYTHING CAME
00:03:56.06\00:03:57.77
FROM.' - THAT'S A BIG INVESTMENT
OF TECHNOLOGY, NOT ONLY FROM
00:03:57.80\00:04:02.27
UNDER THE GROUND THERE IN GENEVA
BUT UP IN THE SKY WITH THE
00:04:02.30\00:04:05.54
INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION - KNOWLEDGE IS INCREASED
00:04:05.57\00:04:08.04
JUST IN IN ONE LIFETIME. I
SHOULD ACTUALLY SAY IN ABOUT A
00:04:08.08\00:04:12.75
CENTURY - YOU LOOK AT JUST
SOME OF THE CHANGES - INCREDIBLE
00:04:12.78\00:04:15.28
INVENTIONS - AUTOMOBILES,
AIRPLANES, RADIO, TELEVISION,
00:04:15.32\00:04:18.95
SMARTPHONE, COMPUTERS. A
LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY,
00:04:18.99\00:04:23.86
THEY CAN'T IMAGINE A
WORLD WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE.
00:04:23.89\00:04:28.13
AND YOU KNOW IT'S - I GET -
KAREN AND I GOT A RENTAL CAR AND
00:04:28.16\00:04:32.87
IT WAS A FAIRLY NEW ONE - WE GOT
LUCKY - GOT A LOW MILEAGE RENTAL
00:04:32.90\00:04:34.97
CAR AND I'VE NEARLY WRECKED IT
THREE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:04:35.00\00:04:37.94
HOW TO RUN THE THING.
(LAUGHTER) I SAT IN THE CAR WHEN
00:04:37.97\00:04:40.61
WE GOT THERE AND I SAT THERE AND
SAID, 'OH, THIS IS GREAT, LOW
00:04:40.64\00:04:43.61
MILEAGE', YOU KNOW, AND I
FIGURED OUT, FINALLY, YOU DON'T
00:04:43.65\00:04:46.01
HAVE TO USE A KEY, YOU
JUST PRESS THE BUTTON BECAUSE IT
00:04:46.05\00:04:47.75
KNOWS THE KEY'S IN MY POCKET
- I KEEP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:04:47.78\00:04:49.22
WHERE DO I PUT THE KEY?
I'M ONE OF THESE OLD PEOPLE,
00:04:49.25\00:04:51.22
I WANT TO PUT
THE KEY IN SOMEWHERE.
00:04:51.25\00:04:52.75
AND I KEEP TAKING THE KEY OUT
WHEN I WALK UP TO THE CAR, BUT
00:04:52.79\00:04:55.52
IT DOESN'T NEED THE KEY, IT JUST
OPENS BY ITSELF AND I SAID, 'OH,
00:04:55.56\00:04:58.13
WHAT A WASTE OF
ENERGY.' I HAD TO FIND IT.
00:04:58.16\00:05:00.76
AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO SHIFT THE THING.
00:05:00.80\00:05:02.20
I'M LOOKING AT ALL THIS AND
FINALLY KAREN REACHES OVER - SHE
00:05:02.23\00:05:04.10
TURNS A KNOB. IS
THAT LIKE A VOLUME - YOU
00:05:04.13\00:05:07.34
SHIFT GEARS
WITH A VOLUME BUTTON.
00:05:07.37\00:05:09.54
I'M A MAN, I WANT TO GRAB
SOMETHING AND HEAR IT CLUNK, YOU
00:05:09.57\00:05:12.84
KNOW? WHEN - IT JUST -
YOU TURN A LITTLE KNOB.
00:05:12.87\00:05:16.54
SO IT BOTHERS ME.
JUST THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
00:05:16.58\00:05:21.45
CAN YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO
EXPLAIN A SMARTPHONE TO THE
00:05:21.48\00:05:23.85
APOSTLE PAUL?
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) HE WOULD
00:05:23.89\00:05:26.86
THINK YOU'RE DEMON POSSESSED.
(LAUGHTER) PAUL WOULD SAY,
00:05:26.89\00:05:30.76
'LOOK, LET ME FIND THAT IN
MY SCROLLS.' SAY, 'NO PROBLEM,
00:05:30.79\00:05:32.69
PAUL, I'LL GOOGLE IT.'
'WHAT?' CAN'T YOU JUST SEE IT?
00:05:32.73\00:05:36.63
THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AND
ANOTHER ONE FOR ME THAT I
00:05:36.67\00:05:40.44
THINK IS A TREMENDOUS EVIDENCE
OF THE NEARNESS OF CHRIST COMING
00:05:40.47\00:05:44.67
IS GLOBAL EVANGELIZATION.
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 14 - THIS, TO
00:05:44.71\00:05:50.85
ME, I THINK, IS ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL PROPHECIES THAT REALLY
00:05:50.88\00:05:53.15
MAKES ME BELIEVE WE ARE
LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:05:53.18\00:05:55.32
JESUS SAID, EXTREMELY CLEARLY,
"THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL
00:05:55.35\00:06:01.36
BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD
FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS."
00:06:01.39\00:06:06.19
AND THEN HE SAID,
"THEN THE END WILL COME."
00:06:06.23\00:06:09.36
HE DIDN'T SAY IT MIGHT COME,
OR IT COULD COME OR IT MAY COME.
00:06:09.40\00:06:12.57
HE SAID, VERY
EMPHATICALLY, THE END WILL COME.
00:06:12.60\00:06:16.60
HE DID NOT SAY THE GOSPEL'LL BE
PREACHED THERE WILL BE A GREAT
00:06:16.64\00:06:19.21
GLOBAL REVIVAL AND EVERYBODY
WILL BELIEVE; HE SAID 'FOR A
00:06:19.24\00:06:23.18
WITNESS.' GIVE
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY.
00:06:23.21\00:06:25.35
AND THEN WHAT THEY DO WITH
THAT OPPORTUNITY IS UP TO THEM.
00:06:25.38\00:06:27.75
BUT THE END WILL
COME. WELL IS THE GOSPEL
00:06:27.78\00:06:31.05
GOING IN ALL THE WORLD?
JUST THIS LAST TWO DAYS WE'VE
00:06:31.09\00:06:34.66
HAD AN INVITATION
TO RETURN TO CHINA.
00:06:34.69\00:06:36.79
AMAZING FACTS WAS VERY BLESSED.
WE WERE ONE OF - IF NOT THE
00:06:36.83\00:06:41.13
FIRST - CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION
IN OVER 50 YEARS INVITED TO
00:06:41.16\00:06:44.97
PREACH PUBLICLY A WHOLE SERIES
OF MEETINGS THAT WAS BROADCAST
00:06:45.00\00:06:48.54
ON TELEVISION IN CHINA.
(CLAPPING) AND THAT WAS SUCH A
00:06:48.57\00:06:52.14
THRILL AND THEN THE NEAT THING
IS THEY MADE COPIES OF THAT AND
00:06:52.17\00:06:57.35
THEY CONTINUE TO MULTIPLY
THAT. I JUST GOT A CALL FROM OUR
00:06:57.38\00:07:00.75
HEADQUARTERS THERE AND
THEY SAID, 'CAN YOU COME BACK?
00:07:00.78\00:07:03.75
AND SO, THE GOSPEL - AND
IT'S - IT'S NOW ON SATELLITE.
00:07:03.79\00:07:08.26
KAREN AND I ARE GOING NEXT MONTH
TO NEW GUINEA AND THEY TELL US
00:07:08.29\00:07:11.56
THERE'LL BE - ABOUT 100,000
PEOPLE AT THIS ONE MEETING THAT
00:07:11.59\00:07:15.90
WE'RE GOING TO IN NEW GUINEA.
WE'RE GOING TO BE IN AUSTRALIA.
00:07:15.93\00:07:18.93
AND I'M JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS OF
MISSIONARIES THAT ARE OUT THERE
00:07:18.97\00:07:22.07
DOING IT. IT'S NOT
LIKE WE'RE DOING IT -
00:07:22.10\00:07:23.44
JESUS SAID THE GOSPEL
WOULD GO TO THE WORLD - IT'S
00:07:23.47\00:07:25.67
GOING THE MIDDLE EAST.
AMAZING FACTS GETS E-MAIL FROM
00:07:25.71\00:07:28.24
ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE
EAST THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE.
00:07:28.28\00:07:32.21
AND SO, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING
AND THE GOSPEL IS GOING AND
00:07:32.25\00:07:35.42
MISSIONARIES ARE GOING.
AND JESUS SAID, 'THEN THE END
00:07:35.45\00:07:38.22
WILL COME.' AND SO WE'RE
SEEING, I THINK, THE FULFILLMENT
00:07:38.25\00:07:41.36
OF THAT IN THIS GENERATION.
NOW I NEED TO PAUSE AT THIS
00:07:41.39\00:07:44.73
POINT AND DELVE INTO A VERY
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR STUDY.
00:07:44.76\00:07:49.46
I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING.
00:07:49.50\00:07:51.70
NOW I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING.
00:07:51.73\00:07:54.24
ABOUT WHAT? >>HOW.
00:07:54.27\00:07:55.60
>>HOW HE'S COMING - BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT
00:07:55.64\00:07:59.07
HOW. NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A
00:07:59.11\00:08:00.71
LOT OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT
MISUNDERSTOOD HOW HE'S COMING.
00:08:00.74\00:08:03.61
DID THE APOSTLES MISUNDERSTAND
HOW THE MESSIAH WAS COMING THE
00:08:03.65\00:08:07.55
FIRST TIME?
THEY'LL BE IN HEAVEN.
00:08:07.58\00:08:09.95
BUT THEY HAD THE
SCRIPTURES WRONG.
00:08:09.98\00:08:11.65
THEY THOUGHT WHEN THE MESSIAH
CAME HE WAS GOING TO COME ON A
00:08:11.69\00:08:13.99
WHITE HORSE LIKE KING DAVID HE
WAS GOING TO DESTROY ALL OF THE
00:08:14.02\00:08:17.23
ROMANS LIKE SAMSON OR SOMETHING.
AND THEY WERE GOING TO BE A
00:08:17.26\00:08:20.06
WORLD EMPIRE LIKE SOLOMON - AND
THEY JUST HAD ALL THESE GREAT,
00:08:20.10\00:08:23.37
GLORIOUS IDEAS ABOUT WHEN
THE MESSIAH COMES AND JESUS SAID
00:08:23.40\00:08:26.10
'NO, NO, NO.' THAT'S WHEN I COME
THE SECOND TIME - FIRST TIME I'M
00:08:26.13\00:08:29.10
COMING LIKE A LAMB,
SECOND TIME I COME LIKE A LION.'
00:08:29.14\00:08:32.67
WELL, THE DEVIL'S DOING THE
SAME THING TO THE CHURCH TODAY.
00:08:32.71\00:08:35.61
LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED
ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING SO THEY
00:08:35.64\00:08:38.08
WON'T BE
PREPARED TO RECEIVE HIM.
00:08:38.11\00:08:40.95
A LOT OF CHRIST'S PEOPLE - THE
JEWS - DID NOT RECEIVE HIM WHEN
00:08:40.98\00:08:44.12
HE CAME THE FIRST TIME
BECAUSE THEY SAID, 'NAZARETH?
00:08:44.15\00:08:48.09
WHO? THERE'S NO
PROPHET IN NAZARETH.
00:08:48.12\00:08:50.23
AND A POOR CARPENTER.
HOW CAN THIS - CAN'T BE HIM.'
00:08:50.26\00:08:53.36
THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THAT HE
WAS COMING FIRST AS A SACRIFICE.
00:08:53.40\00:08:57.40
WELL NOW THERE'S A
LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
00:08:57.43\00:08:59.33
THERE ARE
PRINCIPALLY THREE VIEWS.
00:08:59.37\00:09:02.24
WHEN YOU READ REVELATION THERE'S
ONE GROUP THAT'S - THEY'RE
00:09:02.27\00:09:05.51
CALLED PRETERISTS AND
JUST THINK OF THE WORD PRE.
00:09:05.54\00:09:09.31
THEY BELIEVE THAT ALL OF
REVELATION WAS PRETTY MUCH
00:09:09.34\00:09:11.98
FULFILLED BY 100 A.D.. THEY
THINK NERO IS THE ANTICHRIST AND
00:09:12.01\00:09:15.28
THAT IT'S ALL
BEHIND US - GOOD PEOPLE.
00:09:15.32\00:09:18.52
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
THEN YOU HAVE FUTURISTS.
00:09:18.55\00:09:22.49
FUTURISTS ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE
POPULARIZED THE VERSION - THE
00:09:22.52\00:09:26.26
LEFT BEHIND SCENARIO WHERE MOST
OF REVELATION CHAPTER 4 - WHEN
00:09:26.29\00:09:30.07
JOHN SAYS 'I HEARD A VOICE AND
A TRUMPET' - THAT'S ALL FUTURE.
00:09:30.10\00:09:34.97
THEN YOU HAVE, WHERE I FALL
IN, WHAT THEY CALL HISTORISTS.
00:09:35.00\00:09:39.34
AND I AM IN THE COMPANY - THIS
IS - USED TO BE THE OLD VIEW.
00:09:39.37\00:09:43.24
IT'S NOT AS POPULAR AS IT
USED TO BE BUT IT'S WHAT THE
00:09:43.28\00:09:45.35
PROTESTANT REFORMERS BELIEVE IT
MEANS REVELATION IS COVERING A
00:09:45.38\00:09:49.62
PANORAMA OF HISTORY, FROM
THE FIRST COMING TO THE SECOND
00:09:49.65\00:09:52.92
COMING, AND YOU CAN KIND OF
TRACK THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
00:09:52.95\00:09:56.06
AND GOD'S PEOPLE
ACROSS THAT HORIZON.
00:09:56.09\00:09:59.59
AND SO I'LL JUST TELL YOU RIGHT
NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT THE TWO MAIN
00:09:59.63\00:10:02.76
VIEWS ARE THE FUTURIST VIEW -
THERE'S NOT AS MANY PRETERISTS -
00:10:02.80\00:10:06.00
AND THE HISTORIC
VIEW. THE FUTURIST VIEW IS
00:10:06.03\00:10:09.34
A FAIRLY NEW VIEW. IT
WAS REALLY POPULARIZED BY HAL
00:10:09.37\00:10:12.97
LINDSEY'S BOOK - I DON'T KNOW
IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A BOOK
00:10:13.01\00:10:15.18
CALLED THE LATE
GREAT PLANET EARTH.
00:10:15.21\00:10:17.35
AND IN THAT BOOK HE PREDICTED
THAT, BECAUSE ISRAEL WAS
00:10:17.38\00:10:19.65
ESTABLISHED AS A NATION IN 1948,
IN 1981 THE SECRET RAPTURE WILL
00:10:19.68\00:10:24.45
TAKE PLACE; IN 1988 SEVEN
YEARS LATER AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF
00:10:24.49\00:10:27.49
TRIBULATION JESUS WILL
COME. AND NONE OF IT HAPPENED.
00:10:27.52\00:10:31.63
AND HE'S STILL SELLING BOOKS.
BUT IT BECAME VERY POPULAR THEN.
00:10:31.66\00:10:37.83
I AM WITH THE GROUP THAT
BELIEVES THAT THE TRIBULATION
00:10:37.87\00:10:42.00
COMES BEFORE JESUS COMES.
THE OTHER GROUP BELIEVES THAT
00:10:42.04\00:10:46.78
WE ARE CAUGHT UP
BEFORE THE TRIBULATION.
00:10:46.81\00:10:49.34
I'D LOVE TO BELIEVE THAT BUT
I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
00:10:49.38\00:10:52.31
BIBLE TEACHES. AND WE
WANT TO KNOW - AND I'M
00:10:52.35\00:10:54.85
GOING TO GIVE YOU
BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE HERE.
00:10:54.88\00:10:57.02
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME THEN WE
CAN STILL LOVE AND RESPECT EACH
00:10:57.05\00:10:59.39
OTHER, BUT YOU OWE IT TO
YOURSELF TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND
00:10:59.42\00:11:01.79
YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT
MAY BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY, AMEN?
00:11:01.82\00:11:06.13
WE CAN DISAGREE AND
STILL BE AGREEABLE, RIGHT?
00:11:06.16\00:11:09.46
WILL JESUS COME
QUIETLY? LET'S LOOK AT WHAT
00:11:09.50\00:11:11.20
THE BIBLE SAYS. 1
THESSALONIANS 4:16, "FOR THE
00:11:11.23\00:11:15.10
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT WITH THE
00:11:15.14\00:11:18.07
VOICE OF THE
ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD.
00:11:18.11\00:11:20.78
AND THEN" - IT TELLS US -
"THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE."
00:11:20.81\00:11:23.58
A TRUMP. YOU READ
IN JEREMIAH 25:30 - IT
00:11:23.61\00:11:27.15
TELLS US, "THE LORD
WILL ROAR FROM ON HIGH.
00:11:27.18\00:11:30.82
HE WILL UTTER HIS VOICE
FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION.
00:11:30.85\00:11:33.79
HE WILL MIGHTILY
ROAR UPON HIS HABITATION.
00:11:33.82\00:11:36.93
HE WILL GIVE A
SHOUT." JESUS' COMING IS
00:11:36.96\00:11:40.16
A VERY LOUD EVENT. YOU
READ IN PSALM 50 - IF THIS
00:11:40.20\00:11:43.10
WAS THE ONLY ONE IT WOULD
BE PRETTY CONVINCING - IT SAYS
00:11:43.13\00:11:45.80
THERE, "OUR GOD SHALL COME AND
HE WILL NOT KEEP SILENT AND IT
00:11:45.83\00:11:50.71
WILL BE VERY TEMPESTUOUS"
- STORMY - "ROUND ABOUT HIM."
00:11:50.74\00:11:53.78
IT'S A GREAT CLIMATIC EVENT.
AND SOMEONE MIGHT BE THINKING,
00:11:53.81\00:11:57.75
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, THE BIBLE
SAYS HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF.
00:11:57.78\00:12:01.72
DOESN'T THAT MEAN
HE'S COMING QUIETLY?'
00:12:01.75\00:12:03.59
I DON'T THINK SO. YOU
CAN READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE
00:12:03.62\00:12:06.59
IT SAYS IN 2 PETER CHAPTER 3 IT
SAYS, "THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:12:06.62\00:12:10.59
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
IN WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS
00:12:10.63\00:12:14.13
AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE" -
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DAY THAT
00:12:14.20\00:12:16.30
HE COMES LIKE A THIEF?
NOTICE, "HEAVENS PASS AWAY WITH
00:12:16.33\00:12:19.23
GREAT NOISE" - THERE'S A
NOISE AGAIN - "AND THE ELEMENTS
00:12:19.27\00:12:22.00
WILL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT.
AND THE EARTH AND THE WORKS THAT
00:12:22.04\00:12:25.54
ARE IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
SO, WHEN JESUS COMES S A THIEF,
00:12:25.57\00:12:29.81
DOES IT SOUND TO YOU LIKE
LIFE GOES ON HERE ON EARTH?
00:12:29.84\00:12:34.62
HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF.
THAT JUST MEANS IT'S A SURPRISE.
00:12:34.65\00:12:38.15
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
TO TELL YOU, BUT I'VE NOT ALWAYS
00:12:38.19\00:12:39.55
BEEN A CHRISTIAN.
I USED TO BE A THIEF.
00:12:39.59\00:12:41.96
I WOULD BREAK INTO HOUSES AND
STEAL - RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA,
00:12:41.99\00:12:45.56
ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I USED
TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA.
00:12:45.59\00:12:48.20
NOT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO
I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING.
00:12:48.23\00:12:50.20
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) BUT I NEVER
SENT OUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND
00:12:50.23\00:12:53.77
SAID 'I'LL BE COMING
JUST ONE TO LET YOU KNOW.'
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.04
IT WAS A SURPRISE. SO
THAT'S WHAT JESUS IS SAYING
00:12:56.07\00:12:58.64
IT'S GOING TO SURPRISE
PEOPLE - BUT WHEN HE COMES.
00:12:58.67\00:13:01.91
THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW.
00:13:01.94\00:13:04.28
>> DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:13:04.95\00:13:06.25
IN JUST A MOMENT,
WE'LL RETURN FOR THE REST

PROPHETIC SIGNS OF CHRIST'S

00:13:20.03\00:13:22.60
AS MILLIONS ARE LEFT BEHIND?
00:13:22.63\00:13:25.00
OR WILL JESUS'S RETURN BE
AS LOUD AND BRIGHT AS LIGHTNING
00:13:25.03\00:13:28.47
FROM SKY TO SKY?
00:13:28.50\00:13:30.64
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A MILLION
DIFFERENT THEORIES OUT THERE BUT
00:13:30.67\00:13:33.07
THERE'S ONLY ONE BIBLE TRUTH,
AND JESUS PROMISES IF WE SEEK,
00:13:33.11\00:13:38.05
WE WILL FIND.

SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:12.98\00:14:15.58
>>NOW WHO IS GOING TO SEE CHRIST
WHEN HE RETURNS? IS IT ONLY A
00:14:17.62\00:14:21.22
SELECT GROUP THAT DISAPPEARS
AND - LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS.
00:14:21.26\00:14:25.66
I CAN GIVE YOU SEVERAL VERSES
HERE - MATTHEW 24:30, "AND THEN
00:14:25.69\00:14:29.23
SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON
OF MAN IN HEAVEN AND THEN SHALL
00:14:29.26\00:14:33.13
ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH
MOURN AND THEY SHALL SEE THE SON
00:14:33.17\00:14:37.41
OF MAN COMING IN THE IN THE
CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND
00:14:37.44\00:14:40.81
GREAT GLORY" - THEY'RE GOING TO
SEE HIM COMING - GREAT POWER -
00:14:40.84\00:14:43.41
GREAT GLORY -
MEANS BRILLIANT SPLENDOR.
00:14:43.45\00:14:46.31
AND AGAIN, REVELATION 1:7.
BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH THE CLOUDS
00:14:46.35\00:14:50.45
AND EVERY EYE WILL
SEE HIM. WHO WILL BE WITH
00:14:50.49\00:14:53.72
JESUS WHEN HE COMES?
HE'S NOT COMING ALONE.
00:14:53.76\00:14:58.36
THE BIBLE SAYS THE SON OF MAN
WILL COME IN HIS GLORY - THAT'S
00:14:58.39\00:15:01.80
THAT SPLENDOR -
AND HOW MANY? >>ALL
00:15:01.83\00:15:04.87
>>ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM.
00:15:04.90\00:15:07.77
WELL HOW MANY ANGELS ARE THERE?
00:15:08.04\00:15:10.87
LET'S THINK ABOUT
THAT FOR A MINUTE.
00:15:10.91\00:15:14.38
MOST OF US HAVE
A GUARDIAN ANGEL.
00:15:14.41\00:15:16.38
BIBLE SAYS JESUS SAID, SPEAKING
OF CHILDREN, THEIR ANGELS DO
00:15:16.41\00:15:20.28
BEHOLD THE FACE OF MY FATHER'
- IMPLYING THAT THEY'VE GOT AN
00:15:20.32\00:15:22.65
ANGEL WATCHING THEM.
SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE IN THE
00:15:22.68\00:15:26.82
WORLD - GOD'S ANGELS
NOT ONLY WATCH OVER PEOPLE,
00:15:26.86\00:15:29.99
THEY'RE DOING HIS WORK.
THEY'RE THE MINISTERING SPIRITS.
00:15:30.03\00:15:32.26
THEY'RE THE ARMY OF GOD -
THEY'RE CALLED THE HEAVENLY HOST
00:15:32.29\00:15:34.83
- VERY REAL CREATURES
WITH INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY -
00:15:34.83\00:15:38.27
BILLIONS OF THEM. NOW
ONE ANGEL CAME DOWN FROM
00:15:38.30\00:15:42.84
GOD, YOU READ IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IN THE DAYS OF KING
00:15:42.87\00:15:45.14
HEZEKIAH - THE ANGEL OF THE
LORD WENT THROUGH THE ARMY OF
00:15:45.17\00:15:47.81
SYRIA - ONE ANGEL KILLED 185,000
ENEMY SOLDIERS IN ONE DAY.
00:15:47.84\00:15:53.88
THE ANGELS THAT WERE GUARDING
THE TOMB OF JESUS - I'M SORRY -
00:15:53.92\00:15:57.05
WHEN THE ANGELS CAME TO THE TOMB
OF JESUS AT THE RESURRECTION,
00:15:57.09\00:16:01.36
THE ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
WERE GUARDING THE TOMB WERE SO
00:16:01.39\00:16:03.56
FRIGHTENED BY THE GLORY OF THAT
ANGEL THAT CAME DOWN AND ROLLED
00:16:03.59\00:16:06.09
AWAY THE STONE, THEY FELL
OVER AS THOUGH THEY WERE DEAD.
00:16:06.13\00:16:08.86
ONE ANGEL. CAN YOU
IMAGINE THE HEAVEN BEING
00:16:08.90\00:16:11.87
FILLED WITH THE BRILLIANCE
OF BILLIONS OF ANGELS?
00:16:11.90\00:16:17.34
HE DIDN'T SAY WE'RE
LEAVING ANY OF 'EM BEHIND.
00:16:17.37\00:16:18.87
HE SAID ALL THE ANGELS.
ALL THE ANGELS HAVE BEEN
00:16:18.91\00:16:21.94
INVOLVED IN OUR SALVATION.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY
00:16:21.98\00:16:24.38
INTERESTED IN US BEING REDEEMED
AND YOU'LL SEE, THEY PLAY A PART
00:16:24.41\00:16:28.05
IN OUR BEING
COLLECTED, SO TO SPEAK.
00:16:28.08\00:16:31.75
WHAT WILL THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE
GLORY OF LORD'S COMING AND ALL
00:16:31.79\00:16:35.49
THESE ANGELS DO TO
THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY?
00:16:35.52\00:16:38.63
"WHEN JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED
FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY
00:16:38.66\00:16:42.26
ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING
VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT
00:16:42.30\00:16:48.14
GOD." AND, AGAIN, THAT WAS 2
00:16:48.17\00:16:50.17
THESSALONIANS,
CHAPTER 1, VERSES 7 AND 8.
00:16:50.21\00:16:53.34
YOU CAN READ IN 2 THESSALONIANS
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 8, "AND THEN
00:16:53.38\00:16:56.98
SHALL THAT WICKED ONE BE
REVEALED WHOM THE LORD WILL
00:16:57.01\00:17:00.55
CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF
HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY WITH THE
00:17:00.58\00:17:04.45
BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING."
THE WICKED ONE'S DESTROYED BY
00:17:04.49\00:17:07.89
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WHEN YOU'RE
00:17:07.92\00:17:11.43
OUT THE FIELD ON A NICE SUNNY
DAY AND YOU JUST CURIOUS, YOU
00:17:11.46\00:17:13.63
PICK UP A STONE, YOU TURN AND
YOU SEE ALL THESE CRAWLY THINGS
00:17:13.66\00:17:16.03
START RUNNING FOR THE
DARK. AND AT NIGHT YOU CAN LIGHT
00:17:16.06\00:17:21.40
SOMETHING OUT THE WOODS AND ALL
OF THE MOTHS COME TO THE LIGHT.
00:17:21.44\00:17:25.11
YOU'VE GOT TWO
KINDS OF BUGS OUT THERE.
00:17:25.14\00:17:27.54
YOU'VE GOT BUGS LIKE COCKROACHES
THAT RUN FROM THE LIGHT, AND
00:17:27.58\00:17:30.55
YOU'VE GOT MOTHS AND
BUTTERFLIES THAT LOVE THE LIGHT.
00:17:30.58\00:17:33.82
AND THAT'S THE KIND OF
PEOPLE YOU GOT WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:17:33.85\00:17:36.42
YOU'VE GOT YOUR COCKROACHES
AND YOUR BUTTERFLIES.
00:17:36.45\00:17:38.62
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SO THOSE THAT
ARE - IT'S REALLY - IF YOU DON'T
00:17:38.65\00:17:42.89
HAVE THE LORD IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
ARE GOING TO BE TERRIFIED BY HIS
00:17:42.92\00:17:46.83
COMING. BUT IF
YOU LOVE THE LORD, THE
00:17:46.86\00:17:48.43
BIBLE CALLS HIS
COMING THE BLESSED HOPE.
00:17:48.46\00:17:50.93
>>AMEN. >>BUT
HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING A
00:17:50.97\00:17:52.33
LIFE OF SELFISHNESS AND
SIN, IT'S GOING TO FRIGHTEN
00:17:52.37\00:17:54.84
YOU AND IT SHOULD. GOD
WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE,
00:17:54.87\00:17:57.64
BUT HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO
HAVE PEACE IF YOU'RE ON YOUR
00:17:57.67\00:17:59.94
WAY TO DESTRUCTION. HE
WANTS YOU TO BE TROUBLED
00:18:00.04\00:18:02.54
UNTIL YOU
REPENT AND COME TO HIM.
00:18:02.58\00:18:05.01
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
COMING WILL DESTROY THEM.
00:18:05.05\00:18:07.52
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RIGHTEOUS
WHO ARE DEAD AT JESUS' COMING?
00:18:07.55\00:18:12.39
FIRST WE'LL START WITH
THE RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD.
00:18:12.42\00:18:14.26
YOU READ THERE THE DEAD
IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST.
00:18:14.29\00:18:17.39
THAT'S WHERE WE READ IN 1
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4 "THE
00:18:17.43\00:18:20.00
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND
FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT;" - THE
00:18:20.03\00:18:22.53
VOICE OF THE
ARCHANGEL, THE TRUMPET OF GOD.
00:18:22.56\00:18:25.07
SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT IS THE
LOUDEST VERSE IN THE BIBLE AND
00:18:25.10\00:18:29.10
THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
FIRST. SO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE
00:18:29.14\00:18:32.44
A SECRET STILL? AT
THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS TO
00:18:32.47\00:18:36.34
THE LIVING WHO ARE
- WHEN THE LORD COMES?
00:18:36.38\00:18:38.88
THE LIVING AND THE RESURRECTED
SAINTS, I SHOULD SAY.
00:18:39.48\00:18:42.52
SO YOU GET THE DEAD
IN CHRIST THEY RISE.
00:18:42.55\00:18:44.42
SOME OF US WE HOPE TO BE ALIVE
WHEN JESUS COMES - I'D LIKE TO
00:18:44.45\00:18:46.99
IF I CAN, AVOID DEATH.
WOODY ALLEN SAID ONE TIME,
00:18:47.02\00:18:51.76
'I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THERE
00:18:51.79\00:18:53.36
WHEN IT HAPPENS.' (LAUGHTER) SO
MOST OF US ARE PREWIRED BY GOD
00:18:53.40\00:18:59.10
THAT WE'D LIKE
TO STAY ALIVE RIGHT?
00:18:59.13\00:19:01.44
SO WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE?
00:19:01.47\00:19:03.24
IT SAYS THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARE
RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE AND THOSE
00:19:03.27\00:19:06.41
OF US WHO ARE ALIVE
WILL BE CHANGED IN A MOMENT.
00:19:06.44\00:19:10.28
IT TELLS US THIS CORRUPTIBLE
WILL PUT ON INCORRUPTION -
00:19:10.31\00:19:13.35
CORRUPTIBLE MEANS OUR BODIES
- WE, YOU KNOW, GET OLD, THEY
00:19:13.38\00:19:15.55
DECAY, THEY DIE.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THESE
00:19:15.58\00:19:17.89
GLORIFIED BODIES - LIKE THE
KIND ADAM AND EVE HAD BEFORE SIN
00:19:17.92\00:19:22.22
- BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT OUT.
'THIS CORRUPTIBLE WILL PUT ON
00:19:22.26\00:19:25.73
INCORRUPTION AND THIS
MORTAL WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
00:19:25.76\00:19:28.53
THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE
AND REMAIN WILL BE CAUGHT UP
00:19:28.96\00:19:32.07
TOGETHER.' WHAT
DIRECTION DO WE GO?
00:19:32.10\00:19:33.44
>>UP. >>THAT'S WHEN IT'S
00:19:33.54\00:19:34.90
TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE.
WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP, OR
00:19:34.94\00:19:37.41
RAPTURED UP TOGETHER
WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS.
00:19:37.44\00:19:41.48
WE MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
SO JESUS' FEET DON'T TOUCH THE
00:19:41.51\00:19:43.75
GROUND WHEN HE COMES
NEXT TIME, WE MEET HIM.
00:19:43.78\00:19:47.12
AND CHRIST SAID THIS
IS HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN.
00:19:47.15\00:19:48.58
HE SAID, 'I GO TO PREPARE A
PLACE FOR YOU AND IF I GO AND
00:19:48.62\00:19:51.39
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL
COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO
00:19:51.42\00:19:55.26
MYSELF - THAT'S WHEN WE'RE
CAUGHT UP - 'THAT WHERE I AM' -
00:19:55.29\00:19:57.53
HE TAKES US WHERE?
BACK TO HEAVEN - 'YOU
00:19:57.56\00:19:58.99
MAY BE ALSO' - RIGHT?
WE'VE READ WHERE IT SAYS THE
00:19:59.03\00:20:02.30
LORD'S COMING IS LITERAL,
PERSONAL, VISIBLE, AUDIBLE,
00:20:02.33\00:20:06.57
PHYSICAL, VITALITY -
VITALIZING, GLORIOUS, CLIMATIC -
00:20:06.60\00:20:11.04
THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE.
EVERY SENSE IN YOUR BEING
00:20:11.07\00:20:13.84
WILL KNOW WHEN JESUS COMES.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TEXT SOMEONE
00:20:13.88\00:20:16.51
AND SAY, 'DID YOU
CATCH IT?' 'CATCH WHAT?'
00:20:16.54\00:20:18.08
'JESUS CAME WITH ALL THE
ANGELS YESTERDAY DID YOU?'
00:20:18.11\00:20:20.48
- 'I MISSED IT. I DID
NOTICE SOME PLANES GOING
00:20:20.52\00:20:23.28
DOWN AND CARS CAREENING OFF THE
ROAD, BUT - THERE WAS A CLUMP OF
00:20:23.32\00:20:26.69
CLOTHES IN THE BED
NEXT TO ME WHEN I WOKE UP.
00:20:26.72\00:20:29.39
I THINK IT WAS MY SPOUSE BUT
THEY'RE GONE NOW.' YEAH, I KNOW
00:20:29.42\00:20:32.89
I'M TEASING MAYBE. I
DON'T MEAN TO BE UNKIND BUT,
00:20:32.93\00:20:34.83
TO ME, I ACTUALLY KNOW PEOPLE
WHO THINK 'WELL, IF I'M NOT
00:20:34.83\00:20:39.40
READY WHEN JESUS
COMES, NO BIG DEAL.
00:20:39.43\00:20:42.47
IF MY SPOUSE - THEY'RE
CHRISTIAN, THEY BELIEVE, IF THEY
00:20:42.50\00:20:45.51
DISAPPEAR THEN I'LL GET SERIOUS.
I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
00:20:45.54\00:20:47.81
TRIBULATION BUT
THEN I'LL KNOW IT'S TRUE.
00:20:47.84\00:20:50.65
AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY
PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE THINKING
00:20:50.68\00:20:52.85
THEY'RE GOING TO
GET A SECOND CHANCE.
00:20:52.88\00:20:55.42
THAT'S WHY IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS
THING TO NOT UNDERSTAND THE HOW
00:20:55.45\00:21:00.39
OF HIS COMING.
ANOTHER REASON WAS BECAUSE
00:21:00.42\00:21:02.89
THE DEVILS GOT A LOT OF
IMPERSONATORS OUT THERE.
00:21:02.92\00:21:06.96
WHAT SOLEMN WARNING DOES JESUS
GIVE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING?
00:21:07.30\00:21:10.43
AS YOU START READING MATTHEW
11 - FIRST THING HE TOLD - I'M
00:21:10.47\00:21:13.70
SORRY - MATTHEW CHAPTER 24.
FIRST THING HE SAYS IS BE AWARE
00:21:13.74\00:21:17.67
THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.
HE REPEATS IT OVER AND OVER.
00:21:17.71\00:21:20.94
'MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME
SAYING I AM CHRIST AND DECEIVE
00:21:20.98\00:21:25.15
MANY.' AND I REMEMBER BAPTIZING
A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS IN
00:21:25.18\00:21:29.28
JONESTOWN WITH JIM JONES.
SHE ESCAPED JUST BEFORE THINGS
00:21:29.32\00:21:33.19
ALL WENT SIDEWAYS THERE
AND TOLD HORRIBLE STORIES.
00:21:33.22\00:21:37.46
HE STARTED OUT METHODIST
PREACHER - GOOD CHURCH -
00:21:37.49\00:21:39.93
PREACHING FROM THE BIBLE
AND JUST - BUT HE WAS A FALSE
00:21:39.96\00:21:43.23
PROPHET. SEE, HE SAID,
ULTIMATELY, HE WAS CHRIST.
00:21:43.26\00:21:47.90
JESUS SAID THERE
WILL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS.
00:21:47.94\00:21:50.97
THEY WILL SHOW
SIGNS AND WONDERS.
00:21:51.01\00:21:52.84
ARE MIRACLE, SIGNS, AND WONDERS
THE EVIDENCE OF WHO IS REAL AND
00:21:52.87\00:21:55.48
WHO'S NOT? CAN
THE DEVIL DO MIRACLES?
00:21:55.51\00:21:57.51
>>YES. >>HE CAN.
00:21:57.55\00:21:58.98
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
AND THEY'LL DO THIS TO DECEIVE,
00:21:59.01\00:22:01.95
IF IT WERE
POSSIBLE, THE VERY ELECT.
00:22:01.98\00:22:03.45
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED TO KNOW
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BECAUSE THE
00:22:03.49\00:22:05.75
DEVIL'S GOING TO HAVE POWERFUL
DECEPTIONS IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:22:05.79\00:22:08.79
SOME OF US REMEMBER
THE HEAVEN'S GATE GROUP.
00:22:08.82\00:22:11.46
MARSHALL APPLEWHITE - 39 PEOPLE
BELIEVED THIS POOR DERANGED MAN
00:22:11.49\00:22:16.40
WHO SAID THAT HE WAS A
REINCARNATION OF CHRIST AND THEY
00:22:16.43\00:22:19.83
NEEDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE SO THEY
COULD GET ON A SPACESHIP THAT
00:22:19.87\00:22:23.27
WAS BEHIND THE HALE-BOTT COMET -
HALE-BOTT COMET - AND THEY TOOK
00:22:23.30\00:22:28.61
THIS DEADLY COCKTAIL. 39
PEOPLE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
00:22:28.64\00:22:33.25
AND HE SAID GOD WAS SENDING
MESSAGES THROUGH STAR TREK.
00:22:33.28\00:22:37.12
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GOD
SENDING MESSAGES, BUT IT WASN'T
00:22:37.15\00:22:39.25
JESUS. WHAT'S
GOING TO PREVENT THE
00:22:39.29\00:22:41.79
RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING
DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:22:41.82\00:22:44.16
ISAIAH 8:20 - THAT'S WHY
WE WANT TO KNOW YOUR BIBLES.
00:22:44.83\00:22:48.10
I HOPE YOU CHECK ON
EVERYTHING I'M SAYING.
00:22:48.13\00:22:49.93
YOU CAN TAKE NOTES.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'TO THE
00:22:49.96\00:22:52.23
LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY.
THAT'S HOW THE BIBLE REFERS TO
00:22:52.27\00:22:54.44
THE BIBLE - THE LAW AND THE
PROPHETS - 'IF THEY SPEAK NOT
00:22:54.47\00:22:57.01
ACCORDING TO THIS WORD
IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIGHT IN
00:22:57.04\00:22:59.77
THEM.' YOU MEASURE EVERYTHING BY
THE SCRIPTURES YOU NEED TO KNOW.
00:22:59.81\00:23:03.81
JESUS SAID, 'SEEK
AND YOU'LL FIND.' AMEN?
00:23:03.85\00:23:06.85
WHAT WILL THE WICKED
SAY WHEN JESUS RETURNS?
00:23:06.88\00:23:10.35
'AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND
THE GREAT MEN AND THE RICH MEN
00:23:10.39\00:23:13.96
IN THE CHIEF CAPTAINS AND THE
MIGHTY MEN AND EVERY BONDMAN AND
00:23:13.99\00:23:17.59
EVERY FREE MAN' - SPEAKING
OF THE LOST - 'THEY SAID TO THE
00:23:17.63\00:23:20.63
MOUNTAINS AND TO THE ROCKS,
'FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE
00:23:20.66\00:23:24.13
FACE OF HIM THAT
SITS ON THE THRONE.
00:23:24.17\00:23:26.80
FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH
IS COME AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO
00:23:26.84\00:23:30.37
STAND?'' I TOLD
YOU, ONCE AGAIN, TWO
00:23:30.41\00:23:31.87
KINDS OF PEOPLE - YOU'VE
GOT THE ONES WHO KNOW CHRIST
00:23:31.91\00:23:34.58
AND HE'S IN THEIR HEART.
YOU HAVE THOSE WHO HAVE RESISTED
00:23:34.61\00:23:36.95
HIM AND THEY BECOME HIS ENEMIES.
YOU'VE EITHER GOT THE LOVE OF
00:23:36.98\00:23:40.72
GOD OR THE WRATH OF THE
LAMB. I WANT HIM TO COME AS MY
00:23:40.75\00:23:43.45
LORD AND MY SAVIOR
NOT AS MY ADVERSARY. AMEN?
00:23:43.49\00:23:47.79
WHAT IS THE PRIME REASON
FOR JESUS' SECOND COMING?
00:23:47.82\00:23:51.69
IS HE COMING TO
GET EVEN WITH THE LOST?
00:23:51.73\00:23:54.23
NO, HE'S COMING
TO REDEEM HIS OWN.
00:23:54.30\00:23:56.77
JOHN 14:3, "I WILL COME AGAIN
AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT
00:23:56.80\00:24:01.94
WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE"
- WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE.
00:24:01.97\00:24:05.04
REVELATION SAYS GOD,
HIMSELF, WILL BE WITH US.
00:24:05.07\00:24:07.88
WE WILL SEE HIS
FACE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:24:07.91\00:24:12.41
"NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS
DARKLY BUT THEN FACE TO FACE."
00:24:12.45\00:24:15.55
1 CORINTHIANS 13.
WHAT A PRIVILEGE THAT WE
00:24:15.58\00:24:18.59
CAN SEE GOD FACE TO FACE.
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, GOD IS GIVING
00:24:18.62\00:24:22.76
US THE SIGNS ALONG THE WAY AND I
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE
00:24:22.79\00:24:28.50
ARE SOME DIFFICULT DAYS
AHEAD. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING
00:24:28.53\00:24:31.90
TO BE A
TRIBULATION. SEE, I BELIEVE THE
00:24:31.93\00:24:34.04
LORD IS COMING. I
BELIEVE WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP,
00:24:34.07\00:24:36.20
BUT I BELIEVE THE TRIBULATION
COMES BEFORE THE RAPTURE.
00:24:36.24\00:24:39.27
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>DOES GOD SAVE HIS PEOPLE
00:24:39.31\00:24:41.11
FROM TROUBLE OR
THROUGH IT? >>THROUGH IT.
00:24:41.14\00:24:44.18
DID GOD SAVE NOAH FROM THE
FLOOD OR DID HE SAVE HIM THROUGH
00:24:44.21\00:24:46.78
THE STORM? >THROUGH THE STORM.
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.68
>>DID GOD SAVE JOSEPH FROM
HIS TRIALS OR THROUGH THEM?
00:24:48.72\00:24:52.42
HOW ABOUT JOB? WAS HE
SAVED FROM TRIBULATION
00:24:52.45\00:24:55.06
OR THROUGH TRIBULATION?
DOESN'T PAUL SAY 'IT IS THROUGH
00:24:55.09\00:24:58.39
MUCH TRIBULATION WE WILL
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD'?
00:24:58.43\00:25:02.46
GOD IS COMING FOR A CHURCH
WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE OR ANY
00:25:02.50\00:25:05.67
SUCH THINGS. YOU GET
OUT THE SPOTS AND THE
00:25:05.70\00:25:07.84
WRINKLE WITH A HOT
IRON AND HOT WATER.
00:25:07.87\00:25:10.17
SO THE IDEA THAT THE CHURCH IS
NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ANY KIND
00:25:10.21\00:25:13.11
OF PURGING OR PURIFICATION
BEFORE THAT - WHEN DOES A CHURCH
00:25:13.14\00:25:16.44
SHINE THE BRIGHTEST, IN
THE LIGHT OR IN THE DARKNESS?
00:25:16.48\00:25:20.68
THERE IS GOING TO BE A
TIME OF GREAT DARKNESS.
00:25:20.72\00:25:22.68
JESUS SAID IT WAS AT
MIDNIGHT THE CRY WAS GIVEN.
00:25:22.72\00:25:25.39
BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM
COMES. AND SO THERE ARE SOME
00:25:25.42\00:25:28.22
DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD.
I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
00:25:28.26\00:25:31.19
YOU KNOW WHY? GOD
SAID IF YOU MAKE THE MOST
00:25:31.23\00:25:35.16
HIGH YOUR HABITATION
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID.
00:25:35.20\00:25:37.97
>>AMEN. >>HE HAS GIVEN US SIGNS.
00:25:38.00\00:25:40.80
AND SOME OF CHRISTIANS ARE
LOSING HOPE, RIGHT HERE ON THE
00:25:40.84\00:25:43.57
BORDERS OF THE
GREATEST EVENT IN HISTORY.
00:25:43.61\00:25:46.98
YOU KNOW, I LOVE HISTORY.
I REMEMBER READING ABOUT
00:25:47.01\00:25:49.41
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WHEN HE WAS
CROSSING THE OCEAN, YOU KNOW,
00:25:49.44\00:25:52.45
AND HE JUST WENT LAUNCHING OUT
AND HE SAID, 'WE'RE GOING TO GO
00:25:52.48\00:25:55.35
DISCOVER A NEW PASSAGE.' NONE OF
THE EXPLORERS FROM PORTUGAL OR
00:25:55.38\00:25:59.52
SPAIN WENT VERY FAR INTO
THE ATLANTIC AS THEY HAD RUMORS
00:25:59.55\00:26:02.22
YOU WERE GOING TO SAIL OFF THE
EARTH, THERE WERE DRAGONS OUT
00:26:02.26\00:26:04.26
THERE, AND ALL
THESE SCARY STORIES.
00:26:04.29\00:26:07.13
AND HE SAID 'WE'RE JUST GOING
TO SAIL WEST UNTIL WE FIND OUR
00:26:07.13\00:26:11.10
OBJECTIVE.' AND, YOU KNOW,
AFTER TWO MONTHS IN AUGUST AND
00:26:11.13\00:26:14.80
SEPTEMBER, THOSE
SAILORS WERE READY TO MUTINY.
00:26:14.84\00:26:17.51
AND COLUMBUS -
YOU - READ HIS DIARY.
00:26:17.54\00:26:19.87
HE PRAYED A LOT.
HE BELIEVED HE WAS
00:26:19.91\00:26:22.31
ON A DIVINE QUEST. HE
FINALLY TOLD HIS SAILORS,
00:26:22.34\00:26:25.18
GIVE ME THREE MORE DAYS. IF
WE DON'T SEE LAND WE'LL TURN
00:26:25.21\00:26:27.35
AROUND.' CAN YOU
IMAGINE WHAT WAS AT STAKE?
00:26:27.38\00:26:30.29
BUT AS THOSE DAYS PASSED THEY
BEGAN TO SEE SIGNS - OVERTURNED
00:26:30.32\00:26:34.96
CANOE WENT BY AND THEY SAW
COCONUTS FLOAT BY - SOME TUFTS
00:26:34.99\00:26:38.69
OF VEGETATION. WATER
BEGAN TO CHANGE COLOR AND
00:26:38.73\00:26:41.46
SALTINESS CHANGED IN THE WATER.
THEY NOTICED WHEN THEY WERE
00:26:41.50\00:26:44.33
SOUNDING THAT IT
WAS GETTING SHALLOWER.
00:26:44.37\00:26:47.24
THEY - SONGBIRDS CAME BY - THEY
COULDN'T SEE LAND BUT THEY SAW
00:26:47.27\00:26:51.04
THE SIGNS THAT
THEY WERE NEARING SHORE.
00:26:51.07\00:26:53.84
AND THEY WERE ALL ENCOURAGED
BY THE SIGNS TO PRESS ON.
00:26:53.88\00:26:56.48
FINALLY, AT THE END OF THE THIRD
DAY, AT NIGHT, THEY SAW A FIRE
00:26:56.51\00:27:00.68
IN THE DISTANCE.
NEXT MORNING THEY SPOTTED
00:27:00.72\00:27:03.32
LAND - SAN SALVADOR.
WELL, FRIENDS, WE SEE THE SIGNS.
00:27:03.35\00:27:07.59
JESUS IS ABOUT TO
COME. I WANT TO BE READY.
