00:00:05.43\00:00:09.90
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT 5,000 STARS
CAN BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE?
00:00:09.94\00:00:14.34
YET, WITH A SMALL TELESCOPE YOU
CAN SEE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
00:00:14.38\00:00:18.38
STARS. THE LARGEST
TELESCOPES ON EARTH
00:00:18.41\00:00:21.15
REVEAL MILLIONS OF GALAXIES
PACKED WITH STARS, WHEREAS THE
00:00:21.18\00:00:25.35
HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE OVER A
00:00:25.39\00:00:28.22
BILLION GALAXIES. KEEP
IN MIND, IT'S ESTIMATED
00:00:28.26\00:00:32.13
THAT EACH OF THESE GALAXIES
CONTAIN OVER 200 BILLIONS STARS.
00:00:32.16\00:00:37.40
AND, IT'S NOW BELIEVED, OVER TWO
TRILLION GALAXIES EXIST IN THE
00:00:37.43\00:00:41.20
UNIVERSE. LOOKING AT THE SKY ON
A CLEAR NIGHT, ALL THE STARS WE
00:00:41.24\00:00:44.91
SEE ARE IN THE MILKY WAY GALAXY,
A FIERY SPIRAL OF STARS OVER
00:00:44.94\00:00:49.68
100,000 LIGHT YEARS ACROSS.
SUCH AWESOME STATISTICS GIVE US
00:00:49.71\00:00:55.58
A SMALL CONCEPT OF THE GREATNESS
OF GOD AND IT STIRS WITHIN US
00:00:55.62\00:01:00.09
A YEARNING FOR SPACE TRAVEL.
BUT, DID YOU KNOW THE BIBLE
00:01:00.12\00:01:04.33
TEACHES THAT THE REDEEMED
WILL HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY?
00:01:04.36\00:01:07.96
JOIN ME TODAY AS WE LOOK AT SOME
FASCINATING BIBLE FACTS ABOUT
00:01:08.00\00:01:11.90
THE INCREDIBLE FUTURE GOD
HAS PLANNED FOR HIS PEOPLE.
00:01:11.93\00:01:19.81
IN OUR PRESENTATION THIS
EVENING, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:01:19.84\00:01:22.28
TALKING ABOUT THE
GREAT JUDGMENT DAY.
00:01:22.31\00:01:25.21
LET'S BEGIN WITH A LITTLE
AMAZING FACT FROM HISTORY.
00:01:25.25\00:01:28.28
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE HEARD OF BARON FABIAN VON
00:01:28.32\00:01:31.09
SCHLABRENDORFF. HIS
WHOLE NAME WAS FABIAN
00:01:31.12\00:01:36.09
LUDWIG GEORGE ADOLF
KURT VON SCHLABRENDORFF.
00:01:36.12\00:01:40.26
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO BE HIS MOTHER
CALLING HIM WHEN YOU'RE ANGRY?
00:01:40.30\00:01:43.06
(LAUGHTER)
PROBABLY CALLED HIM 'BUTCH'.
00:01:43.10\00:01:45.87
(LAUGHTER) HE WAS BORN IN
GERMANY IN 1907, TRAINED AS A
00:01:45.90\00:01:49.50
LAWYER - VERY BRIGHT INDIVIDUAL
- AND WHEN THE WAR WAS GETTING
00:01:49.54\00:01:53.07
READY TO BREAK OUT, HE WAS
DRAFTED BUT, BECAUSE HE WAS SO
00:01:53.11\00:01:56.88
BRIGHT AND PERFORMED
WELL, HE WAS RAPIDLY PROMOTED.
00:01:56.91\00:02:00.82
WELL, IT DIDN'T TAKE HIM
VERY LONG TO REALIZE THAT ADOLPH
00:02:00.85\00:02:03.39
HITLER WAS CRAZY, DESTROYING
EUROPE, NOT TO MENTION GERMANY,
00:02:03.42\00:02:07.09
SO HE JOINED THE RESISTANCE.
SCHLABRENDORFF WAS THE ONE WHO,
00:02:07.12\00:02:11.16
WHEN HITLER CAME TO VISIT
AN ARMY BASE IN GERMANY, HE
00:02:11.19\00:02:14.46
SMUGGLED A TIME BOMB ONTO
HITLER'S PLANE THAT WAS SUPPOSED
00:02:14.50\00:02:17.40
TO BLOW UP AND GET RID OF THAT
CRUEL DICTATOR, BUT IT FAILED.
00:02:17.43\00:02:22.00
EVENTUALLY THEY TRACED IT BACK
TO HIM, HE WAS ARRESTED, HE WAS
00:02:22.04\00:02:26.71
TORTURED - HE NEVER DID TALK AND
GIVE UP ANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT
00:02:26.74\00:02:29.91
WERE PART OF THE RESISTANCE -
AND, FINALLY, THEY SET A TRIAL
00:02:29.94\00:02:34.55
FOR HIM. HE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE
00:02:34.58\00:02:36.79
COURTROOM - THIS WAS NOW 1945
BY THE TIME IT GOT TO HIS TRIAL
00:02:36.82\00:02:41.22
- AND COURTHOUSE WAS FULL -
JUDGES, JURY - THEY ALL FOUND
00:02:41.26\00:02:47.13
HIM GUILTY OF HIGH TREASON
AND HE WAS SENTENCED TO BE
00:02:47.20\00:02:49.93
KILLED BY FIRING SQUAD.
BECAUSE OF THE WAR EFFORT, THEY
00:02:49.96\00:02:55.00
DIDN'T PUT YOU ON DEATH ROW
AND YOU DID NOT HAVE APPEALS.
00:02:55.04\00:02:57.74
THEY WERE MARCHING HIM OUT OF
THE COURTROOM TO A WALL WHERE HE
00:02:57.77\00:03:01.18
WAS GOING TO BE EXECUTED, WHEN
THE AIR RAID SIRENS WENT OFF AND
00:03:01.21\00:03:06.68
ONE OF THE ALLIED BOMBERS SCORED
A DIRECT HIT ON THE COURTHOUSE.
00:03:06.72\00:03:11.29
EVERYBODY IN THE COURTHOUSE
WAS KILLED EXCEPT SCHLABRENDORFF
00:03:11.32\00:03:15.72
(LAUGHTER) WHO ESCAPED. HE
LATER WAS RECAPTURED AND THEY
00:03:15.76\00:03:22.00
PUT HIM IN DACHAU PRISON OF WAR
CAMP, BUT IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE
00:03:22.03\00:03:24.70
THE ALLIES CAME AND HE
SURVIVED. AND GUESS WHAT?
00:03:24.73\00:03:30.31
HE BECAME A
LEADING JUDGE IN GERMANY.
00:03:30.34\00:03:35.01
THE ONE WHO WAS BEING TRIED
- WHAT A REVERSAL OF FORTUNES -
00:03:35.04\00:03:38.51
WHO HAD BEEN CONDEMNED
ENDED UP BEING THE JUDGE.
00:03:38.55\00:03:41.75
WOW. AND HE LIVED UNTIL 1980.
00:03:41.78\00:03:45.42
IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT WHEN
JESUS STOOD BEFORE CAIAPHAS THE
00:03:45.45\00:03:48.79
HIGH PRIEST AND PONTIUS PILATE
AND THERE THEY WERE, THE CHURCH
00:03:48.82\00:03:52.13
AND THE STATE, CONDEMNING HIM
AND HE SAID, 'HEREAFTER YOU WILL
00:03:52.16\00:03:55.83
SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE
CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.' TALK ABOUT A
00:03:55.86\00:03:59.77
BIG SURPRISE, WHEN THEY COME OUT
OF THEIR GRAVES AND THEY SEE THE
00:03:59.80\00:04:03.74
ONE THEY WERE JUDGING IS
NOW THE JUDGE OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:04:03.77\00:04:07.31
THE BIBLE SAYS WE WILL ALL STAND
BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF
00:04:07.34\00:04:10.15
CHRIST. NOW, WE'RE
GOING TO BE LOOKING
00:04:10.18\00:04:13.08
AT SEVERAL CHAPTERS IN THE
BIBLE, PRINCIPALLY CHAPTER 20 OF
00:04:13.11\00:04:15.98
REVELATION THAT TALKS ABOUT
THIS GREAT JUDGMENT DAY AND ALSO
00:04:16.02\00:04:19.79
TALKS ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM.
IT BEGINS - AND, IF YOU HAVE
00:04:19.82\00:04:22.59
YOUR BIBLES, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO TURN TO CHAPTER
00:04:22.62\00:04:24.03
20 OF REVELATION.
REVELATION 20, VERSE 1, "THEN I
00:04:24.06\00:04:28.30
SAW AN ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM
HEAVEN, HAVING THE KEY TO THE
00:04:28.33\00:04:32.03
BOTTOMLESS PIT, AND A
GREAT CHAIN IN HIS HAND.
00:04:32.07\00:04:35.60
HE LAID HOLD ON THE DRAGON, THAT
OLD SERPENT CALLED THE DEVIL,
00:04:35.64\00:04:39.57
AND SATAN," - THERE YOU HAVE IT
AGAIN, THE SAME THING YOU SEE IN
00:04:39.61\00:04:42.04
REVELATION 12 - HAS HIS TITLES
- "AND BOUND HIM A THOUSAND
00:04:42.08\00:04:45.81
YEARS." SO THIS
ONE-THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD
00:04:45.85\00:04:49.85
YOU HEAR REFERENCED OFTEN IS
USUALLY CALLED THE MILLENNIUM.
00:04:49.88\00:04:53.32
THE WORD 'MILLENNIUM' IS SIMPLY
- IT'S A COMPOSITE LATIN WORD -
00:04:53.36\00:04:56.93
'MILLE' - THOUSAND - 'ANNUM'
- YEARS - IT'S TALKING ABOUT A
00:04:56.96\00:04:59.79
THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD.
YOU PRINCIPALLY FIND THIS
00:04:59.83\00:05:02.86
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20.
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, IF YOU GO
00:05:02.90\00:05:06.87
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 20, VERSE
4, "AND I SAW THRONES, AND THEY
00:05:06.90\00:05:12.91
SAT ON THEM, AND
JUDGMENT WAS COMMITTED TO THEM."
00:05:12.94\00:05:17.45
AND SO, THERE'S THIS
JUDGMENT THAT IS GIVEN.
00:05:17.48\00:05:19.68
WHAT EVENTS MARK THE BEGINNING
OF THE MILLENNIUM AND THE GREAT
00:05:19.71\00:05:23.72
JUDGMENT DAY? SO
LET'S LOOK AT THIS TIMELINE
00:05:23.75\00:05:25.95
IN THE FINAL EVENTS OF PROPHECY.
YOU READ, FOR INSTANCE, IN 1
00:05:25.99\00:05:29.96
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4, VERSE
6, "FOR THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL
00:05:29.99\00:05:34.50
DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A
SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF THE
00:05:34.56\00:05:37.40
ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF
GOD, AND" - IT SAYS - "THE DEAD
00:05:37.43\00:05:40.74
IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST."
SO THIS ONE-THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD
00:05:40.77\00:05:45.64
BEGINS WITH THE COMING OF
THE LORD AND A RESURRECTION.
00:05:45.67\00:05:49.38
NOW, IN OUR STUDY THIS EVENING,
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE
00:05:49.41\00:05:51.78
TALKING ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT
GROUPS OF PEOPLE: WHEN CHRIST
00:05:51.81\00:05:55.98
COMES YOU'VE GOT THE GOOD THAT
ARE ALIVE - OR SAVED, I SHOULD
00:05:56.02\00:05:59.95
SAY, THAT ARE ALIVE,
AND THE EVIL THAT ARE ALIVE.
00:06:00.06\00:06:04.33
YOU'VE GOT THE SAVED THAT ARE
DEAD, AND THE EVIL THAT ARE DEAD
00:06:04.36\00:06:09.13
- THE LOST. EVERYBODY
WHO'S EVER LIVED FALLS
00:06:09.16\00:06:12.90
INTO ONE OF THOSE
CATEGORIES, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:06:12.93\00:06:15.80
YOU'VE GOT THE LIVING AND THE
DEAD, THE GOOD AND THE BAD, AND
00:06:15.84\00:06:18.77
ALL OF THEM ARE ADDRESSED IN
THIS STUDY TONIGHT, SO THIS IS
00:06:18.81\00:06:21.94
RELEVANT FOR
EVERYBODY IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
00:06:21.98\00:06:25.01
AND IT SAYS, "THEY LIVED AND
REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND
00:06:25.05\00:06:27.18
YEARS." THOSE
WHO ARE RESURRECTED -
00:06:27.22\00:06:29.58
THE DEAD IN CHRIST - RISE.
THOSE OF US WHO ARE ALIVE AND
00:06:29.62\00:06:32.15
REMAIN, WE'RE CAUGHT UP, WE
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR, AND WE
00:06:32.19\00:06:34.99
LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST.
SOME CHURCHES TEACH THAT THE ONE
00:06:35.02\00:06:38.46
THOUSAND YEARS WE SPEND HERE
ON EARTH WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS ARE
00:06:38.49\00:06:42.56
REIGNING OVER THE WICKED -
WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE BUT THEY
00:06:42.60\00:06:44.97
DON'T, SO I GUESS THEY'RE
LIVING, BREEDING AND DYING, BUT
00:06:45.00\00:06:49.80
WE'RE IMMORTAL AND WE DON'T
GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN.
00:06:49.84\00:06:53.54
FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOU BUT I DON'T WANT TO REIGN
00:06:53.58\00:06:55.08
OVER THE WICKED - AND
THAT CHRIST IS HERE ON EARTH.
00:06:55.11\00:06:59.85
BUT - AND THEN THE OTHER GROUP
OF CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT WE GO
00:06:59.88\00:07:03.85
UP AND WE LIVE AND REIGN WITH
CHRIST IN GLORY DURING THE ONE
00:07:03.89\00:07:07.72
THOUSAND YEARS. NOW,
YOU REMEMBER WHEN JESUS
00:07:07.76\00:07:09.89
SAYS, IN JOHN CHAPTER 14, 'I
GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU' -
00:07:09.92\00:07:13.70
RIGHT? HE'S GONE - 'I WILL COME
AGAIN, RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF
00:07:13.73\00:07:18.63
THAT WHERE I AM, YOU MAY BE.'
HE'S TAKING US TO WHERE HE IS
00:07:18.67\00:07:22.20
GOING. ISN'T THAT
CLEAR IN THE LANGUAGE?
00:07:22.24\00:07:24.07
SO WHAT DIRECTION DO
WE GO WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:07:24.11\00:07:26.44
UP. WE ARE CAUGHT UP.
00:07:26.47\00:07:27.84
SO, WHEN WE LIVE AND REIGN WITH
HIM, IT'S IN THAT NEW JERUSALEM
00:07:27.88\00:07:31.18
THAT LATER COMES DOWN.
WE'RE NOT LIVING AND REIGNING
00:07:31.21\00:07:33.85
OVER THE WICKED HERE ON
EARTH. IT'S NOT HAPPENING HERE.
00:07:33.88\00:07:37.19
ABSOLUTELY. SO
THEY LIVE AND REIGN WITH
00:07:37.22\00:07:39.49
CHRIST FOR ONE THOUSAND
YEARS AND THEN IT TELLS YOU WHAT
00:07:39.52\00:07:42.49
HAPPENS TO THE REST OF THE DEAD:
"BUT THE REST OF THE DEAD LIVED
00:07:42.52\00:07:45.23
NOT AGAIN UNTIL THE
THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED.
00:07:45.26\00:07:48.63
THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION."
IN OTHER WORDS, THE DEAD
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.50
IN CHRIST ARE THE FIRST
RESURRECTION, THE REST OF THE
00:07:50.53\00:07:52.67
DEAD, THEY DON'T
LIVE AGAIN 'TIL WHEN?
00:07:52.70\00:07:55.30
THE END OF THE
ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:07:55.34\00:07:57.57
AND SO, HERE YOU'VE GOT THE
THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD - IT'S LIKE
00:07:57.61\00:07:59.74
BOOKENDS, YOU CAN SEPARATE
IT WITH FIRST RESURRECTION -
00:07:59.77\00:08:03.81
RIGHTEOUS - SECOND RESURRECTION
- WICKED - AND THEY'RE SPREAD
00:08:03.85\00:08:09.08
APART. AND THIS FITS WITH WHAT
00:08:09.12\00:08:11.05
JESUS ALWAYS TAUGHT.
NUMBER TWO: WHAT ELSE
00:08:11.09\00:08:14.09
WILL HAPPEN AT THE
FIRST RESURRECTION?
00:08:14.12\00:08:16.99
IT SAYS, "WE SHALL NOT
ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE
00:08:17.03\00:08:20.03
CHANGED, IN A MOMENT...AT
THE LAST TRUMP:" - BY THE WAY, 1
00:08:20.06\00:08:24.27
CORINTHIANS 15, VERSE 51 - "FOR
THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE
00:08:24.30\00:08:28.60
DEAD SHALL BE RAISED
INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE
00:08:28.64\00:08:32.07
CHANGED." - THIS MORTAL -
00:08:32.11\00:08:33.71
WHEN ARE WE
CHANGED? WHEN CHRIST COMES.
00:08:33.74\00:08:37.08
WE'LL BE CHANGED - "FOR
THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT ON
00:08:37.11\00:08:39.51
INCORRUPTION, AND THIS
MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY."
00:08:39.55\00:08:43.25
AND THEN IT SAYS, IN PHILIPPIANS
3:21, JESUS, WHEN HE COMES, "WHO
00:08:43.28\00:08:47.22
SHALL CHANGE OUR VILE BODY," -
THESE BODIES THAT HAVE ACHES AND
00:08:47.26\00:08:49.76
PAINS AND THEY GET OLD AND -
"THAT IT MAY BE FASHIONED LIKE
00:08:49.79\00:08:52.79
UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY."
NOW, WHAT KIND OF BODIES DO THE
00:08:52.83\00:08:56.83
REDEEMED HAVE WHEN
THEY GET A GLORIFIED BODY?
00:08:56.87\00:09:00.17
ARE THEY GHOSTS?
WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM
00:09:00.20\00:09:03.81
THE DEAD, WAS HE REAL? YES.
00:09:03.84\00:09:06.37
DID HE TRY TO
EMPHASIZE THAT HE WAS REAL?
00:09:06.41\00:09:09.31
HE SAID - THEY WERE JUST
SHOCKED - HE SAID, 'TOUCH ME.
00:09:09.34\00:09:13.01
HANDLE ME. A SPIRIT
DOES NOT HAVE FLESH AND
00:09:13.05\00:09:15.48
BONE AS YOU SEE THAT I HAVE.'
AND THEN HE SAID, 'I'M HUNGRY.
00:09:15.52\00:09:19.89
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO EAT?'
NOT ONLY DID HE SAY THAT IN THE
00:09:19.92\00:09:22.26
UPPER ROOM, HE
MET THEM BY THE SEA.
00:09:22.29\00:09:24.19
HE SAID, 'YOU
GUYS GOT ANY FOOD?'
00:09:24.23\00:09:25.73
SO WAS IT GOD'S ORIGINAL
PLAN THAT ADAM AND EVE EAT?
00:09:25.76\00:09:29.36
YES. DO GHOSTS EAT?
00:09:29.40\00:09:33.23
YOU KNOW, GHOSTS DON'T
EAT. THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE.
00:09:33.27\00:09:36.64
AND HE'S - THE THING IS,
WE HAVE SPIRITUAL BODIES.
00:09:36.67\00:09:39.04
SEE, THE BEST WAY I CAN EXPLAIN
IT, ADAM AND EVE, BEFORE SIN,
00:09:39.07\00:09:42.98
THEY LIVED IN FOUR
DIMENSIONS. YOU AND I LIVE IN
00:09:43.01\00:09:45.41
THREE DIMENSIONS NOW.
THEY HAD GLORIFIED BODIES THAT
00:09:45.45\00:09:48.85
HAD NO ACHES OR PAINS,
WHERE THEY COULD SEE ANGELS.
00:09:48.88\00:09:52.59
THEN, AFTER SIN, THE LIGHT
WENT OUT AND SOMETHING CHANGED.
00:09:52.62\00:09:56.66
THEY LOST A WHOLE DIMENSION.
THE WHOLE SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF
00:09:56.69\00:09:59.69
OUR BEING WILL BE ADDED
AGAIN IN THESE GLORIFIED ETERNAL
00:09:59.73\00:10:03.33
BODIES THAT WE HAVE.
BUT THEY'RE REAL BODIES.
00:10:03.37\00:10:06.57
YOU LEARN LATER, WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HEAVEN, IT SAYS,
00:10:06.60\00:10:08.87
'THEY PLANT VINEYARDS AND THEY
EAT THE FRUIT OF THEM, AND THEY
00:10:08.90\00:10:11.64
BUILD HOUSES AND THEY GO FORTH
- AND WE'RE DOING REAL THINGS,
00:10:11.67\00:10:15.64
WE'RE NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
- HEAVEN - I USED TO THINK WE'RE
00:10:15.68\00:10:18.21
UP ON CLOUDS, WE'RE FAT LITTLE
CHERUBS, NAKED, PLAYING HARPS,
00:10:18.25\00:10:21.55
AND I THOUGHT, 'BOY, I DON'T
- YOU KNOW, HELL SOUNDS MORE
00:10:21.58\00:10:23.99
INTERESTING.
WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER,
00:10:24.02\00:10:25.42
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
(LAUGHTER) THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL.
00:10:25.45\00:10:30.06
WE'RE GOING TO BE
DOING REAL THINGS.
00:10:30.09\00:10:31.99
SO WE'LL HAVE WHAT
KIND OF BODY? GLORIFIED.
00:10:32.03\00:10:33.80
GLORIOUS BODIES LIKE HIS BODY.
NOW THERE WAS ONE THING WRONG
00:10:33.83\00:10:37.70
WITH JESUS' BODY WHEN HE
ROSE. DID HE STILL HAVE THE
00:10:37.73\00:10:40.80
SCARS IN HIS HANDS? YES.
00:10:40.84\00:10:42.57
THE LORD DELIBERATELY ALLOWED
THAT BLEMISH TO REMAIN SO THAT,
00:10:42.60\00:10:47.64
THROUGH ETERNITY, WE WOULD SEE
THE ICON, THE REMINDER OF HIS
00:10:47.68\00:10:53.31
SACRIFICE FOR US, SO SIN WILL
NEVER RISE UP AGAIN THE SECOND
00:10:53.35\00:10:56.82
TIME. WE'LL NEVER
FORGET WHAT HE DID TO SAVE US.
00:10:56.85\00:10:59.95
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
WICKED WHEN THE LORD COMES?
00:11:00.06\00:11:02.19
2 THESSALONIANS 2:8, "AND THEN
SHALL THAT WICKED BE REVEALED,
00:11:02.22\00:11:05.99
WHOM THE LORD...SHALL CONSUME
WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
00:11:06.03\00:11:08.36
COMING." AND DESTROY
WITH THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH.
00:11:08.40\00:11:11.47
IT ALSO GOES ON TO SAY -
REVELATION 16 - "AND THERE WAS A
00:11:11.50\00:11:14.67
GREAT EARTHQUAKE SUCH AS WAS NOT
SINCE MEN WERE UPON THE EARTH,
00:11:14.70\00:11:18.87
SO MIGHTY AN
EARTHQUAKE, AND SO GREAT."
00:11:18.91\00:11:22.01
AND SO THERE'S A GREAT
EARTH-SHAKING EARTHQUAKE AND
00:11:22.04\00:11:25.05
THIS IS NOT, YOU KNOW, 3 OR 4
ON THE RICHTER SCALE - WE HAVE
00:11:25.08\00:11:27.98
THOSE IN CALIFORNIA,
WE JUST SORT OF SHRUG.
00:11:28.02\00:11:30.29
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT MAJOR, YOU
KNOW, 15 ON THE RICHTER SCALE -
00:11:30.32\00:11:36.26
MOUNTAINS AND ISLANDS ARE BEING
SWALLOWED UP IN THIS EARTHQUAKE.
00:11:36.29\00:11:40.13
AND IT SAYS, "EVERY ISLAND FLED
AWAY, AND THE MOUNTAINS WERE NOT
00:11:40.16\00:11:44.53
FOUND." IT GOES ON
TO SAY THAT THERE WAS
00:11:44.57\00:11:47.17
"A GREAT HAIL OUT OF
HEAVEN, EVERY STONE ABOUT THE
00:11:47.20\00:11:51.17
WEIGHT OF A TALENT."
YOU KNOW WHAT A TALENT IS?
00:11:51.21\00:11:54.74
IT'S ABOUT 75 POUNDS. WOW.
00:11:54.78\00:11:57.95
AND SO, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE
HAIL STONES WITH THAT WEIGHT,
00:11:57.98\00:12:00.88
THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING. IT
GOES ON TO SAY THAT SATAN IS
00:12:00.92\00:12:04.92
THEN BOUND, AT THIS
TIME, IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
00:12:04.95\00:12:07.52
SO WHAT IS THIS BOTTOMLESS PIT?
THE WORD THAT YOU FIND THERE FOR
00:12:07.56\00:12:11.73
BOTTOMLESS PIT IS 'ABUSSOS'
AND ABUSSOS MEANS - WELL, YOU'VE
00:12:11.76\00:12:17.33
HEARD THE WORD ABYSS -
ABYSS MEANS 'EMPTINESS; VOID'.
00:12:17.37\00:12:22.94
YOU ACTUALLY FIND THAT WORD
DESCRIBING THE WORLD BEFORE GOD
00:12:22.97\00:12:25.44
CREATED IN GENESIS IN THE
SEPTUAGINT - THE GREEK VERSION -
00:12:25.47\00:12:29.41
TALKS ABOUT THE WORLD
WAS VOID AND WITHOUT FORM.
00:12:29.44\00:12:32.01
IT WAS AN ABYSS - IT WAS DARK.
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.35
BUT THE, YOU KNOW, BOTTOMLESS
PIT IS REALLY - IT'S A WORD - I
00:12:34.38\00:12:37.19
DON'T KNOW WHY THE KING JAMES
TRANSLATORS CHOSE THAT WORD
00:12:37.22\00:12:39.65
BECAUSE YOU FIND THE WORD
OTHER PLACES IN THE BIBLE.
00:12:39.69\00:12:42.82
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHERE
IT TALKS ABOUT THIS DEMONIAC
00:12:42.86\00:12:47.30
THAT WAS FILLED WITH DEVILS
- YOU READ ABOUT IT IN LUKE
00:12:47.36\00:12:50.37
CHAPTER 8 AND MARK CHAPTER 5
- AND THEY BEGGED JESUS, WHEN
00:12:50.40\00:12:54.80
JESUS WAS CASTING THEM OUT OF
THE MAN, 'PLEASE DO NOT CAST US
00:12:54.84\00:12:58.17
OUT INTO' - EXACT
SAME WORD - ABUSSOS.
00:12:58.21\00:13:01.44
THERE, IT'S TRANSLATED
'DEEP' - INTO THE NOTHINGNESS.
00:13:01.48\00:13:04.21
YOU SEE, WHEN THE DEVIL
HAS NOBODY TO TEMPT, POSSESS,
00:13:04.25\00:13:07.15
MANIPULATE FOR HIM IT'S
NOTHINGNESS BECAUSE THE DEVIL
00:13:07.18\00:13:09.85
DOES HIS WORK - HE'S A SPIRIT -
BY POSSESSING LIVING CREATURES.
00:13:09.88\00:13:14.89
EVEN THE DEVILS IN THIS STORY
SAID, 'PLEASE, LET US POSSESS
00:13:14.92\00:13:17.03
THE PIGS - SOMETHING -
BUT DON'T CAST US OUT INTO THE
00:13:17.06\00:13:19.53
NOTHINGNESS.' AND SO, WHEN
THE DEVIL IS BOUND ON THIS EARTH
00:13:19.56\00:13:23.43
WITH NOBODY TO TEMPT
AND MANIPULATE, THAT IS THE
00:13:23.47\00:13:26.74
BOTTOMLESS PIT. THE
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT JUDE -
00:13:26.77\00:13:30.07
I READ IT TO YOU
EARLIER - IN VERSE 6.
00:13:30.11\00:13:32.37
THE DEVIL'S BEING CHAINED IN
DARKNESS, BUT THEN THEY'LL HAVE
00:13:32.41\00:13:36.81
NOBODY TO TEMPT BECAUSE
THE RIGHTEOUS ARE RAISED - DEAD
00:13:36.85\00:13:42.28
RIGHTEOUS - THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE
ARE TRANSFORMED - WE GO UP - THE
00:13:42.32\00:13:46.69
WICKED WHO ARE ALIVE ARE
DESTROYED BY THE BRIGHTNESS OF
00:13:46.72\00:13:48.92
HIS COMING. HOW
MANY LIVING PEOPLE
00:13:48.96\00:13:50.59
DOES THAT LEAVE ON EARTH? NONE.
SO IT DESCRIBES THIS TIME WHEN
00:13:50.63\00:13:55.63
SATAN IS BOUND ON THIS PLANET
AND HE'S GOT A THOUSAND YEARS,
00:13:55.66\00:13:59.40
WHILE WE'RE LIVING AND REIGNING
WITH CHRIST, TO CONTEMPLATE THE
00:13:59.43\00:14:02.14
RESULTS OF HIS
REBELLION AGAINST GOD.
00:14:02.17\00:14:05.34
NOW THE LORD IS DOING THIS
DELIBERATELY BECAUSE HE'S GOING
00:14:05.37\00:14:08.14
TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE UNIVERSE
THAT HE HAS NO ALTERNATIVE BUT
00:14:08.18\00:14:11.68
TO DO WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO
TO LUCIFER AND HIS FOLLOWERS.
00:14:11.71\00:14:14.75
SO SATAN'S DOWN HERE WITH ALL
HIS ANGELS - THEY'VE GOT TO LIVE
00:14:14.78\00:14:16.48
WITH EACH OTHER. THEY'RE
GOING TO ALL BLAME EACH OTHER.
00:14:16.52\00:14:19.62
THEY'RE GOING TO BE CHASING
LUCIFER ALL OVER THE PLANET AND
00:14:19.65\00:14:21.99
SAY, 'WE WOULDN'T BE HERE IF IT
WASN'T FOR YOU.' HE'S GOT TO PUT
00:14:22.02\00:14:24.66
UP WITH THAT FOR
A THOUSAND YEARS.
00:14:24.69\00:14:26.73
AND SO, THEY'RE IN THIS
DARK PRISON DURING THAT TIME.
00:14:26.76\00:14:32.07
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:14:32.10\00:14:34.60
WE'LL RETURN FOR THE COMPLETION
OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:14:34.64\00:14:38.17
EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
VIRTUALLY EVERY BIBLE WRITER
00:14:38.21\00:14:41.98
REFERS TO THE
GREAT JUDGMENT DAY.
00:14:42.01\00:14:44.78
PAUL SAYS WE
WILL ALL STAND BEFORE
00:14:44.81\00:14:47.25
THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.
00:14:47.28\00:14:49.65
IN LIGHT OF OUR COUNTLESS
SINS, THE THOUGHT OF FACING
00:14:49.68\00:14:51.99
A LIFE'S RECORD
BEFORE A HOLY GOD
00:14:52.02\00:14:54.69
CAN STRIKE TERROR INTO
THE HEART OF EVERY MAN.
00:14:54.72\00:14:57.23
BUT JESUS TELLS US THERE'S
A WAY TO FACE THE JUDGMENT
00:14:57.26\00:15:00.26
WITH COMPLETE PEACE.
00:15:00.30\00:15:02.46
WE'D LIKE TO

00:15:26.02\00:15:27.96
LET'S GET BACK TO
TODAY'S PRESENTATION
00:15:27.99\00:15:29.92
AND LEARN SOME
MORE AMAZING FACTS
00:15:29.96\00:15:31.79
ON THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:31.83\00:15:34.60
WHO IS RAISED - QUESTION 3 -
00:15:34.63\00:15:36.36
IN THE SECOND RESURRECTION,
AND WHEN WILL IT TAKE PLACE?
00:15:36.40\00:15:40.10
IT SAYS, IN JOHN CHAPTER 5,
VERSE 28 - JESUS SPEAKING HERE -
00:15:40.14\00:15:44.21
"ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES
SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE, AND SHALL
00:15:44.24\00:15:46.84
COME FORTH: THEY THAT HAVE DONE
GOOD UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF
00:15:46.88\00:15:50.25
LIFE; AND THEY THAT HAVE DONE
EVIL, UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF
00:15:50.28\00:15:54.38
DAMNATION." HOW
MANY RESURRECTIONS?
00:15:54.42\00:15:56.08
TWO. TWO.
00:15:56.12\00:15:57.89
YOU EVEN READ ABOUT THAT IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 12, 'MANY OF THEM
00:15:57.92\00:16:01.19
THAT SLEEP IN THE DUST OF
THE EARTH SHALL AWAKE; SOME TO
00:16:01.22\00:16:03.26
EVERLASTING LIFE, SOME TO
SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT.'
00:16:03.29\00:16:07.03
YOU'VE GOT TWO SEPARATE
RESURRECTIONS - THEY'VE GOT A
00:16:07.03\00:16:09.13
THOUSAND YEARS BETWEEN THEM, AND
SO, IF, IN THE RESURRECTION YOU
00:16:09.16\00:16:14.70
COME FORTH AND YOU STILL HAVE
WRINKLES, YOU'RE IN THE WRONG
00:16:14.74\00:16:17.47
RESURRECTION.
(LAUGHTER) THAT'S NOT GOOD.
00:16:17.51\00:16:20.74
BECAUSE WE GET GLORIFIED
BODIES AT THAT POINT, RIGHT?
00:16:20.78\00:16:24.31
REVELATION 20, VERSE 5, "BUT THE
REST OF THE DEAD (THE WICKED)
00:16:24.35\00:16:28.48
LIVED NOT AGAIN UNTIL THE
THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED."
00:16:28.52\00:16:31.29
I READ THIS BUT I
WANT TO RE-EMPHASIZE IT.
00:16:31.32\00:16:33.82
BEFORE I MOVE ON, I'VE JUST
GOT TO STOP AND SAY SOMETHING -
00:16:33.86\00:16:37.33
HOPEFULLY YOU'VE CAUGHT IT ALONG
THE WAY, BUT THERE IS A LOT OF
00:16:37.36\00:16:40.23
CONFUSION AMONG CHRISTIANS ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON DIES.
00:16:40.26\00:16:45.27
WALK THROUGH A CHRISTIAN
CEMETERY AND CHURCHYARD CEMETERY
00:16:45.30\00:16:48.67
SOMETIME, YOU
WILL SEE THE CONFUSION.
00:16:48.70\00:16:50.91
YOU READ THE TOMBSTONES AND ONE
TOMBSTONE WILL SAY, 'OUR BELOVED
00:16:50.94\00:16:54.98
MOTHER, RESTING IN PEACE WAITING
FOR THE RESURRECTION MORNING'.
00:16:55.01\00:16:59.51
THEN YOU GO TWO TOMBSTONES AWAY
IT'LL SAY, 'OUR BELOVED MOTHER,
00:16:59.55\00:17:02.65
WALKING ON GOLDEN STREETS'.
00:17:02.68\00:17:05.62
SO, IS SHE RESTING AND WAITING
FOR THE RESURRECTION OR IS SHE
00:17:05.65\00:17:08.22
SINGING WITH THE ANGELS
AND WALKING ON GOLDEN STREETS?
00:17:08.26\00:17:10.33
AND YOU'LL SEE ALL -
PEOPLE ARE VERY CONFUSED.
00:17:10.36\00:17:12.76
THEY SAY, 'NOW, DOESN'T THE
BIBLE SAY TO BE ABSENT FROM THE
00:17:12.79\00:17:14.96
BODY IS TO BE
PRESENT WITH THE LORD'? YES.
00:17:15.00\00:17:18.13
THAT MEANS, IF YOU'RE A BELIEVER
AND YOU DIE, YOUR NEXT CONSCIOUS
00:17:18.17\00:17:22.17
THOUGHT, WHICH WILL SEEM LIKE
THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, WILL BE
00:17:22.20\00:17:25.27
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD AND THE
RESURRECTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS -
00:17:25.31\00:17:27.84
BUT THEY'RE NOT THERE YET
BECAUSE THE RESURRECTION HASN'T
00:17:27.88\00:17:30.35
HAPPENED AND THE
JUDGMENT HASN'T HAPPENED.
00:17:30.38\00:17:32.91
THE BIBLE IS REALLY CLEAR THAT
THE DEAD ARE SLEEPING UNTIL THE
00:17:32.95\00:17:36.05
RESURRECTION, BUT THEY
DON'T KNOW THEY'RE SLEEPING.
00:17:36.08\00:17:38.92
THERE ARE ABOUT A DOZEN
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:38.95\00:17:43.76
JESUS RAISED SEVERAL
PEOPLE. YOU'VE GOT RESURRECTIONS
00:17:43.79\00:17:45.83
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. DO
YOU KNOW, IN EVERY SINGLE
00:17:45.86\00:17:48.50
RESURRECTION IN THE BIBLE,
NONE OF THOSE RESURRECTED EVER
00:17:48.53\00:17:51.90
MAKE ONE COMMENT ON
WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED DURING
00:17:51.93\00:17:54.34
DEATH - NONE OF THEM. WHY?
00:17:54.37\00:17:58.41
THE DEAD KNOW NOT
ANYTHING, ACCORDING TO SOLOMON.
00:17:58.44\00:18:01.68
THEY'RE SLEEPING
A DREAMLESS SLEEP.
00:18:01.71\00:18:04.38
THEY DO NOT DIE AND GO RIGHT TO
HEAVEN; THEY DO NOT DIE AND GO
00:18:04.41\00:18:06.61
RIGHT TO HELL. SO,
WHEN SOMEONE SAYS, YOU KNOW,
00:18:06.65\00:18:09.05
'I'M SO THANKFUL FOR MY GRANDMA
BECAUSE HER NEXT THOUGHT IS THE
00:18:09.08\00:18:12.75
RESURRECTION.' THAT'S TRUE.
SHE'S NOT THERE YET, THOUGH.
00:18:12.79\00:18:16.02
BECAUSE YOU AND I LIVE
IN A DIMENSION OF TIME.
00:18:16.06\00:18:18.63
YOU REALIZE GOD IS
NOT CONFINED TO TIME.
00:18:18.66\00:18:21.73
AMEN. GOD CAN GO
INTO THE FUTURE, HE
00:18:21.76\00:18:23.70
CAN GO INTO THE PAST BUT,
AS FAR AS THE TIME WE LIVE IN,
00:18:23.73\00:18:26.80
THEY'RE NOT THERE YET. SO
THE IDEA THAT YOUR LOVED ONES
00:18:26.84\00:18:29.77
ARE IN HEAVEN SPYING ON YOU OR,
IF THEY'RE LOST, THAT THEY'RE
00:18:29.80\00:18:33.41
SUFFERING IN THE LAKE OF
FIRE, THAT COMES FROM PAGANISM -
00:18:33.44\00:18:37.15
THAT'S NOT - LET ME
GIVE YOU SOME VERSES ON THAT.
00:18:37.18\00:18:39.05
GO WITH ME TO 1 CORINTHIANS
15:21, "FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME
00:18:39.08\00:18:42.82
DEATH, BY MAN ALSO CAME
THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
00:18:42.85\00:18:46.12
FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN
SO IN CHRIST ALL SHALL BE MADE
00:18:46.15\00:18:50.46
ALIVE. BUT EACH
ONE IN HIS OWN ORDER" -
00:18:50.49\00:18:52.86
HERE'S THE ORDER - VERY
PLAIN - "CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS,
00:18:52.89\00:18:56.60
AFTERWARD THOSE WHO ARE
CHRIST'S AT HIS COMING."
00:18:56.63\00:19:00.67
WHEN ARE THEY MADE ALIVE?
AT HIS COMING, WHICH MEANS,
00:19:00.70\00:19:04.71
BEFORE HIS COMING,
THEY ARE NOT ALIVE.
00:19:04.74\00:19:07.88
AND, IF YOU'RE NOT
ALIVE, YOU'RE DEAD.
00:19:07.91\00:19:11.08
THE BIBLE DOESN'T
HAVE AN IN BETWEEN.
00:19:11.11\00:19:13.42
AND SO, PEOPLE ARE NOT
GETTING THEIR REWARDS BEFORE THE
00:19:13.45\00:19:16.45
RESURRECTION AND THE JUDGMENT.
WE'VE GOT A WHOLE STUDY ON THAT;
00:19:16.48\00:19:20.12
I WISH I HAD MORE
TIME TO TALK ABOUT.
00:19:20.16\00:19:22.49
WHAT WILL THE CONDITION OF THE
EARTH BE LEFT IN DURING THE ONE
00:19:22.52\00:19:25.96
THOUSAND YEARS? WHAT'S
IT LOOK LIKE DOWN HERE?
00:19:25.99\00:19:28.46
MANY OF US HAVE HEARD THE
POPULAR LEFT BEHIND SCENARIO OF
00:19:28.50\00:19:32.37
FINAL EVENTS , WHERE THE
RIGHTEOUS ARE SECRETLY RAPTURED,
00:19:32.40\00:19:39.64
LIFE CONTINUES TO GO ON HERE ON
EARTH, THERE'S 144,000 LITERAL
00:19:39.67\00:19:44.21
JEWS THAT ARE CONVERTED - THAT
ARE PREACHING EVERYWHERE - THE
00:19:44.25\00:19:47.35
SEVEN LAST PLAGUES FALL, SOME
PEOPLE MAY STILL BE CONVERTED AT
00:19:47.38\00:19:50.22
THE END OF THAT SEVEN YEARS
OF TRIBULATION, THEN JESUS COMES
00:19:50.25\00:19:54.79
BACK DOWN HERE ON EARTH WITH THE
RIGHTEOUS AND WE LIVE AND REIGN
00:19:54.82\00:19:58.13
DOWN HERE TOGETHER FOR A
THOUSAND YEARS AND THEN THE
00:19:58.16\00:20:00.50
WICKED ARE DESTROYED AT THE
END OF THAT ONE THOUSAND YEARS,
00:20:00.53\00:20:02.76
WHICH REALLY PUTS THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE WICKED
00:20:02.80\00:20:05.33
ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS
BEYOND THE COMING OF THE LORD.
00:20:05.37\00:20:07.94
IN THAT SCENARIO, IS THERE EVER
A TIME WHEN THE EARTH IS VACANT?
00:20:07.97\00:20:14.11
THERE'S ALWAYS
SOMETHING GOING ON DOWN HERE.
00:20:14.14\00:20:16.34
BUT, IF YOU READ IN 2 PETER
CHAPTER 3, IT SAYS, 'THE DAY OF
00:20:16.38\00:20:19.35
THE LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN
THE NIGHT, IN WHICH THE HEAVENS
00:20:19.38\00:20:22.28
PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE,
THE ELEMENTS MELT WITH FERVENT
00:20:22.32\00:20:26.29
HEAT, THE EARTH AND THE THINGS
THAT ARE IN IT ARE BURNED UP.'
00:20:26.32\00:20:31.53
SO WHAT'S THE WORLD GOING
TO LOOK LIKE DURING THAT TIME?
00:20:31.56\00:20:34.36
AND YOU LOOK AT THIS VERSE HERE
IN ISAIAH 24, "BEHOLD, THE LORD
00:20:34.40\00:20:37.57
MAKETH THE EARTH EMPTY," -
NOBODY HERE - "AND MAKETH IT
00:20:37.60\00:20:41.17
WASTE." 'BEHOLD,
THE LORD MAKES THE
00:20:41.20\00:20:43.71
EARTH UTTERLY EMPTY, HE TURNS
IT UPSIDE DOWN, THE EARTH IS
00:20:43.74\00:20:46.94
UTTERLY BROKEN DOWN.' READ THIS
VERSE IN JEREMIAH CHAPTER 4,
00:20:46.98\00:20:51.71
VERSE 23, "I BEHELD THE EARTH,
AND LO, IT WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND
00:20:51.75\00:20:57.42
VOID: AND THE
HEAVENS, AND THEY HAD NO LIGHT.
00:20:57.45\00:21:00.92
I BEHELD THE MOUNTAINS, AND,
LO, THEY TREMBLED...THERE WAS NO
00:21:00.96\00:21:04.33
MAN," - IT SOUNDS LIKE
HE'S DESCRIBING THE WORLD BEFORE
00:21:04.36\00:21:07.03
CREATION, BUT KEEP READING
- "AND ALL THE BIRDS OF THE
00:21:07.03\00:21:09.93
HEAVENS WERE FLED."
THAT MEANS THEY WERE
00:21:09.96\00:21:11.90
THERE, BUT THEY'RE GONE. IT
SAYS, "THE FRUITFUL PLACE WAS
00:21:11.93\00:21:15.70
A WILDERNESS, AND ALL THE CITIES
THEREOF WERE BROKEN DOWN" - SO
00:21:15.74\00:21:20.04
THERE WAS CITIES, NOW
THEY'RE BROKEN DOWN. BY WHAT?
00:21:20.08\00:21:22.48
- "AT THE PRESENCE OF THE
LORD, AND BY HIS FIERCE ANGER."
00:21:22.51\00:21:26.25
PRETTY CLEAR THAT HERE'S THE
CONDITION OF THE WORLD WHERE IT
00:21:26.28\00:21:28.52
SAYS BURNED UP, CITIES
BROKEN DOWN, NO MAN ALIVE.
00:21:28.55\00:21:33.96
IT GOES ON AND SAYS IN ANOTHER
PASSAGE, 'THE SLAIN OF THE LORD
00:21:33.99\00:21:36.02
COVER THE EARTH FROM ONE END TO
THE OTHER AND THERE'S NO ONE TO
00:21:36.06\00:21:37.89
MOURN, LAMENT, OR BURY
THEM.' AND SO, ALL THROUGH THE
00:21:37.93\00:21:41.00
PROPHECIES IT TALKS ABOUT THIS
TIME AFTER THE JUDGEMENT WHEN
00:21:41.03\00:21:43.73
THE EARTH IS A MESS. YOU
CAN LOOK IN JEREMIAH - I'M
00:21:43.77\00:21:47.30
STILL READING - "AND THE SLAIN
OF THE LORD SHALL BE AT THAT DAY
00:21:47.34\00:21:50.37
FROM ONE END OF THE EARTH EVEN
UNTO THE OTHER...THEY SHALL NOT
00:21:50.41\00:21:53.58
BE LAMENTED, NEITHER
GATHERED, NOR BURIED."
00:21:53.61\00:21:56.68
WHERE WILL THE SLAIN BE
DURING THE 1,000 YEARS, AND WHAT
00:21:56.71\00:22:00.28
ARE THEY DOING?
ALRIGHT, SO NOW WE'RE TALKING
00:22:00.32\00:22:02.02
ABOUT DEAD IN CHRIST RISE,
WE WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN - I
00:22:02.05\00:22:06.49
WOULD LIKE TO BE ONE
OF THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE AND
00:22:06.52\00:22:08.16
REMAIN, HOW ABOUT YOU? AMEN.
00:22:08.19\00:22:09.49
CAUGHT UP TO MEET THE LORD
IN THE AIR - AND I THINK HE'S
00:22:09.52\00:22:10.99
COMING PRETTY SOON. YEP - AMEN.
00:22:11.03\00:22:12.99
SOME OF YOU HERE MAY DIE, BUT
NOT A LOT ARE GOING TO DIE OF
00:22:13.03\00:22:15.56
OLD AGE. I THINK THAT JESUS
00:22:15.60\00:22:16.97
IS COMING SOON. AMEN.
00:22:17.00\00:22:18.70
SO WHAT'S GOING
ON DURING THAT TIME?
00:22:18.73\00:22:21.67
YOU CAN READ IN JOHN CHAPTER 14,
HE SAID, "I WILL COME AGAIN, AND
00:22:21.70\00:22:25.14
RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF:
THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE
00:22:25.17\00:22:28.38
ALSO." WE'LL BE WITH HIM IN THE
00:22:28.41\00:22:30.05
MANSIONS THAT HE'S
PREPARED IN THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:22:30.08\00:22:33.25
AND THEN IT GOES ON IN
REVELATION 20 AND IT SAYS IN
00:22:33.28\00:22:36.48
VERSE 4, "AND I SAW THRONES, AND
THEY SAT UPON THEM, AND JUDGMENT
00:22:36.52\00:22:40.22
WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM: AND THEY
LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST A
00:22:40.26\00:22:44.13
THOUSAND YEARS." SO
JUDGMENT IS GIVEN UNTO THE
00:22:44.16\00:22:46.73
SAINTS AND WE LIVE AND REIGN
WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS.
00:22:46.76\00:22:49.96
NOW READ IN 1 CORINTHIANS 6:2
- I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE TAKING
00:22:50.00\00:22:53.54
NOTES FURIOUSLY - "DO YE NOT
KNOW THAT THE SAINTS WILL JUDGE
00:22:53.57\00:22:57.01
THE WORLD?" - AND IT
GOES ON TO SAY, "KNOW
00:22:57.04\00:23:00.88
YE NOT THAT WE
SHALL JUDGE ANGELS?"
00:23:00.91\00:23:06.08
NOW, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE NOT
JUDGING GOOD ANGELS, BUT DOES
00:23:06.11\00:23:08.92
THE BIBLE TELL US
THERE'S A LOT OF FALLEN ANGELS?
00:23:08.95\00:23:11.85
WE ARE NOT DECIDING
WHETHER THEY'RE SAVED OR LOST.
00:23:11.89\00:23:14.59
WE ARE ACTUALLY ENDORSING -
WE'RE COOPERATING BECAUSE CHRIST
00:23:14.62\00:23:19.09
SAID, 'LOOK, I WANT
TO INVOLVE YOU WITH ME.
00:23:19.13\00:23:21.90
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE
GOING TO JUDGE THEM THE WAY
00:23:21.93\00:23:24.70
WE'RE GOING TO JUDGE THEM?'
AND WE AFFIRM THE JUDGMENTS OF
00:23:24.73\00:23:27.60
GOD IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING.
BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE LOSS.
00:23:27.64\00:23:31.81
NOW WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
SOMEONE SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE
00:23:31.84\00:23:35.51
FOUR BIG SURPRISES WHEN YOU GET
TO HEAVEN - MAYBE IT WAS THREE
00:23:35.54\00:23:40.72
SURPRISES - FIRST
SURPRISE IS THAT YOU'RE THERE.
00:23:40.75\00:23:43.28
(LAUGHTER) SECOND SURPRISE IS
THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT
00:23:43.32\00:23:51.63
ARE NOT THERE THAT YOU THOUGHT
WOULD BE LEADING THE PARADE.
00:23:51.66\00:23:57.10
AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO YOUR
ANGEL AND SAY, 'WHERE IS PASTOR
00:23:57.13\00:24:00.90
SO AND SO?'
'WHERE IS DEACON ELDER' -
00:24:00.94\00:24:02.84
'WHERE'S THIS SISTER OR BROTHER
- THEY WERE JUST SO SPIRITUAL -
00:24:02.87\00:24:06.37
I DON'T SEE THEM ANYWHERE.' AND
THE ANGEL SAID, 'WELL, COME WITH
00:24:06.41\00:24:10.28
ME.' AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE
YOU TO THE LIBRARY - THE BIBLE
00:24:10.31\00:24:13.92
SAYS EVERYTHING'S IN THE BOOKS.
EVERYTHING - JESUS SAID EVERY
00:24:13.95\00:24:17.72
IDLE WORD - MATTHEW CHAPTER 12
- EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SPEAK
00:24:17.75\00:24:21.72
YOU'LL GIVE AN ACCOUNT
THEREOF IN THE JUDGMENT.
00:24:21.76\00:24:23.73
SO EVERYTHING'S IN THE BOOKS AND
SO THE ANGELS TAKE YOU OVER TO
00:24:23.76\00:24:27.03
THE BOOKS AND SAY, 'WE REALLY
WANTED TO SAVE DEACON HERB' -
00:24:27.03\00:24:31.00
HOPE NOBODY HERE'S NAMED HERB -
BUT - AND YOU SEE THAT, WHILE HE
00:24:31.03\00:24:37.74
LOOKED REAL GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE,
THERE WAS SOME SIN THAT HE WOULD
00:24:37.77\00:24:41.94
NOT SURRENDER TO THE LORD AND
YOU'LL SEE THOSE THINGS DONE IN
00:24:41.98\00:24:45.25
SECRET, JESUS SAID, WILL
BE SHOUTED FROM THE HOUSETOP.
00:24:45.28\00:24:47.82
ONLY THING THAT'S GOING TO
BE HIDDEN ARE THOSE THINGS UNDER
00:24:47.85\00:24:50.39
THE BLOOD. THAT'S
WHY I WANT TO BE SAVED,
00:24:50.42\00:24:52.05
BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT YOU TO SEE MY BOOK.
00:24:52.09\00:24:53.72
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) AMEN? AMEN.
00:24:53.76\00:24:56.99
I WANT IT EXPUNGED.
THIRD SURPRISE IS THERE'S SOME
00:24:57.03\00:25:03.30
PEOPLE THERE AND YOU THINK, 'HOW
IN THE WORLD DID THEY GET HERE?
00:25:03.33\00:25:06.13
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) I'VE OFTEN
THOUGHT, CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT
00:25:06.17\00:25:10.64
IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN
STEPHEN GETS TO HEAVEN - AND
00:25:10.67\00:25:15.68
STEPHEN IS IN HEAVEN, HE'S
ENJOYING HEAVEN AND THEY'RE ALL,
00:25:15.71\00:25:18.51
YOU KNOW, GIVING HIM HIS
CROWNS FOR HIS BEING THE FIRST
00:25:18.55\00:25:21.28
CHRISTIAN MARTYR AND THEN
THEY SEE THIS CHARACTER IS BEING
00:25:21.32\00:25:24.62
CARRIED ON THE SHOULDERS
OF THE ANGELS AND IT'S PAUL.
00:25:24.65\00:25:27.46
(LAUGHTER) AND WHEN
STEPHEN KNEW HIM, HIS
00:25:27.49\00:25:29.76
NAME WAS SAUL AND HE
WAS KILLING CHRISTIANS.
00:25:29.79\00:25:32.49
AND STEPHEN'S GOING TO SAY TO
HIS ANGEL, 'YOU GUYS NORMALLY DO
00:25:32.53\00:25:35.06
REALLY GOOD WORK, BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH
00:25:35.10\00:25:37.37
THIS PICTURE BECAUSE LAST TIME I
SAW HIM, HE WAS AN ACCOMPLICE IN
00:25:37.40\00:25:41.40
MY MURDER. WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
00:25:41.44\00:25:44.21
I MEAN, I BELIEVE IN FORGIVING
AND EVERYTHING, BUT' - AND THE
00:25:44.24\00:25:46.78
ANGEL SAYS, 'STEPHEN, WASN'T
YOUR LAST PRAYER, 'FATHER,
00:25:46.81\00:25:48.84
FORGIVE THEM'? WELL,
THE FATHER FORGAVE HIM.
00:25:48.88\00:25:53.88
AND HE WAS CONVERTED AND HE
SUFFERED MUCH FOR THE GOSPEL AND
00:25:53.92\00:25:58.79
HE WAS SO SORRY ABOUT WHAT HE
DID TO YOU.' SO, DURING THIS ONE
00:25:58.82\00:26:02.62
THOUSAND YEARS,
THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS.
00:26:02.66\00:26:04.53
AND IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND-YEAR
SABBATH - FOR SIX THOUSAND
00:26:04.56\00:26:07.86
YEARS, FROM THE TIME OF ADAM, TO
THE COMING OF THE LORD - AND WE
00:26:07.86\00:26:11.00
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THAT
IS, BUT IT'S APPROXIMATELY THAT
00:26:11.03\00:26:13.10
PERIOD OF TIME, CHRIST HAS BEEN
SOWING THE SEED OF THE GOSPEL -
00:26:13.13\00:26:16.71
THEN WE ARE GOING TO
LIVE AND REIGN - IT'S LIKE A
00:26:16.74\00:26:18.17
THOUSAND-YEAR SABBATH. DO
YOU KNOW, WHEN THE CHILDREN
00:26:18.21\00:26:21.11
OF ISRAEL WERE CARRIED OFF TO
BABYLON BY KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR,
00:26:21.14\00:26:25.15
GOD TOOK THE
SURVIVORS TO THIS GOLDEN CITY?
00:26:25.18\00:26:27.85
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THE LAND
WAS DESOLATE AND IT KEPT SABBATH
00:26:27.88\00:26:32.85
WHILE IT WAS DESOLATE.
THE PLANET IS GOING TO GET
00:26:32.89\00:26:36.02
A THOUSAND-YEAR SABBATH.
GOD HAD A PATTERN IN THE BIBLE
00:26:36.06\00:26:38.39
WHERE, FOR SIX YEARS YOU WOULD
SOW THE SEED IN THE FIELD, ONE
00:26:38.43\00:26:43.33
YEAR YOU WOULD LET IT LAY
FALLOW - YOU'D LET IT REST.
00:26:43.37\00:26:46.53
AND THEN, GOD IS GOING TO CREATE
A NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH.
