>>THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.83\00:00:05.33
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.37\00:00:09.47
>>ONE OF THE LOUDEST SOUNDS
THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD WAS THE
00:00:09.50\00:00:12.37
TERRIFIC VOLCANIC EXPLOSION
OF KRAKATOA IN SOUTHWESTERN
00:00:12.41\00:00:16.21
INDONESIA IN 1883. THE
BLAST WAS THE EQUIVALENT TO
00:00:16.24\00:00:20.98
ABOUT 100 MEGATONS OF TNT AND
COULD BE HEARD OVER 3,000 MILES
00:00:21.02\00:00:25.82
AWAY ON ISLANDS
IN THE INDIAN OCEAN.
00:00:25.85\00:00:28.62
MORE THAN 36,000 PEOPLE WERE
KILLED AND 165 COASTAL VILLAGES
00:00:28.66\00:00:33.76
DESTROYED, MOSTLY FROM
THE 120-FOOT HIGH TSUNAMI THAT
00:00:33.80\00:00:38.43
ROLLED IN AT OVER
300 MILES AN HOUR.
00:00:38.47\00:00:41.77
THIS DEVASTATED EVERYTHING
IN ITS PATH, HURLING HUGE CORAL
00:00:41.80\00:00:45.11
BLOCKS ASHORE. THE
TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION ALSO
00:00:45.14\00:00:48.51
BLEW FIVE CUBIC MILES OF DEBRIS
INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, CREATING
00:00:48.54\00:00:53.31
A DUST CLOUD THAT BLOCKED
SUNLIGHT, COOLED CLIMATES,
00:00:53.35\00:00:56.99
AND, FOR A FEW YEARS, PRODUCED
BRILLIANT RED SUNSETS THAT WERE
00:00:57.02\00:01:01.12
SO INTENSE, PEOPLE OFTEN THOUGHT
THERE WAS A FIRE ON THE HORIZON.
00:01:01.16\00:01:05.13
THE ERUPTION OF KRAKATOA WAS ONE
OF THE LOUDEST AND MOST POWERFUL
00:01:05.16\00:01:09.20
VISIBLE EVENTS IN MODERN TIMES,
BUT DID YOU KNOW THE BOOK OF
00:01:09.23\00:01:13.37
REVELATION PICTURES THE SECOND
COMING OF JESUS AS EVEN LOUDER.
00:01:13.40\00:01:17.67
IT SAYS THERE'LL BE A
TRUMPET AND A ROAR AND A SHOUT.
00:01:17.71\00:01:21.28
SO JOIN ME NOW AS WE TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:01:21.31\00:01:24.75
REALLY SAYS ABOUT
THE RETURN OF CHRIST.
00:01:24.78\00:01:32.22
>>SO, OUR STUDY TODAY IS TALKING
ABOUT WHEN THE KING RETURNS AND
00:01:32.25\00:01:36.42
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE SIGNS OF CHRIST COMING -
00:01:36.46\00:01:39.86
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
DATE FOR THE LORD'S RETURN, BUT
00:01:39.89\00:01:44.27
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE
00:01:44.30\00:01:47.34
CHRISTIAN WORLD REGARDING HOW
JESUS IS COMING BACK, BECAUSE
00:01:47.37\00:01:50.51
THAT IS GOING TO SET MANY
PEOPLE UP FOR A MAJOR DECEPTION.
00:01:50.54\00:01:54.68
AND SO, WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT.
00:01:54.71\00:01:56.41
FIRST QUESTION: WHAT SOLEMN
WARNING DOES JESUS GIVE ABOUT
00:01:56.44\00:02:00.55
HIS SECOND COMING? "FOR
MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME,
00:02:00.58\00:02:04.09
SAYING, 'I AM THE
CHRIST,' AND WILL DECEIVE MANY."
00:02:04.12\00:02:07.42
NOW, THAT VERSE CAN BE
UNDERSTOOD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT
00:02:07.46\00:02:09.46
WAYS AND STILL BE CORRECT.
SOME ARE GOING TO COME AND
00:02:09.49\00:02:14.03
THEY'RE GOING TO
CLAIM TO BE JESUS.
00:02:14.10\00:02:15.73
AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO COME
AND SAY, 'HE IS CHRIST,' BUT
00:02:15.76\00:02:17.57
THEY'LL DECEIVE PEOPLE.
MANY WILL COME, THEY COME IN HIS
00:02:17.60\00:02:20.47
NAME, THEY SAY HE'S
CHRIST, AND THEN THEY DECEIVE.
00:02:20.50\00:02:24.37
AND THEN THERE ARE SOME
THAT COME AND THEY SAY, 'I AM
00:02:24.41\00:02:27.18
CHRIST.' AND SATAN IS GOING
TO IMPERSONATE JESUS IN THE LAST
00:02:27.21\00:02:31.71
DAYS AND YOU CAN ALSO READ ON,
IT SAYS, "FOR THERE SHALL ARISE
00:02:31.75\00:02:37.59
FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS
AND THEY WILL SHOW GREAT SIGNS
00:02:37.62\00:02:41.36
AND WONDERS." NOW,
I'M NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT
00:02:41.39\00:02:45.83
KOOKS THAT SAY
THAT THEY'RE JESUS.
00:02:45.86\00:02:49.70
THERE'S PROBABLY THOUSANDS
OF THEM WALKING THE WORLD TODAY.
00:02:49.73\00:02:52.57
I SAW A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
REPORT ABOUT HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE
00:02:52.60\00:02:56.27
AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE A
SMALL GROUP OF WORSHIPERS AND
00:02:56.30\00:02:58.44
THEY CLAIM TO BE JESUS.
YOU'VE GOT ONE IN SOUTH AMERICA,
00:02:58.47\00:03:02.54
YOU'VE GOT ONE IN EUROPE,
AND OTHER PLACES AND THEY
00:03:02.58\00:03:06.08
HAVE THEIR FOLLOWERS. I
MET SOMEBODY THAT CLAIMED TO
00:03:06.11\00:03:10.05
BE JESUS AND IT WAS A LITTLE
UNNERVING BECAUSE I WAS LIVING
00:03:10.09\00:03:14.19
BY MYSELF IN THE MOUNTAINS IN
A CAVE AND A GUY CAME HIKING UP
00:03:14.22\00:03:18.99
INTO MY CAVEYARD - I HAD A YARD
- (LAUGHTER) AND - I MEAN, YOU
00:03:19.03\00:03:24.07
CAME OVER THE ROCKS
AND YOU'RE IN MY YARD.
00:03:24.10\00:03:27.04
HE WAS ABOUT SIX FEET TALL.
HE HAD SHOULDER-LENGTH BROWN
00:03:27.07\00:03:30.47
HAIR, HAZEL EYES,
MUSTACHE AND A BEARD.
00:03:30.51\00:03:35.11
AND I'M FRIENDLY, I SAT
DOWN, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT.
00:03:35.14\00:03:38.48
IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERSATION
HE ASKED ME IF I WAS A BELIEVER.
00:03:38.51\00:03:41.08
I SAID, 'WELL, YEAH,
I JUST READ THE BIBLE.
00:03:41.12\00:03:42.75
I JUST ACCEPTED JESUS.' AND HE
SAID, 'I AM JESUS.' (LAUGHTER)
00:03:42.78\00:03:48.79
AND I WASN'T SURE I HEARD HIM
RIGHT AND HE SAYS, 'I AM JESUS.'
00:03:48.82\00:03:54.73
AND THEN I THOUGHT, 'WELL I'VE
GOT SOME SPANISH FRIENDS NAMED
00:03:54.73\00:03:58.07
JESUS. I SAID, 'YOU MEAN
YOUR NAME IS JESUS? (LAUGHTER)
00:03:58.10\00:04:01.24
HE SAID, 'NO, I AM JESUS.'
AND THAT WAS A LITTLE TROUBLING
00:04:01.27\00:04:07.41
BECAUSE I THOUGHT, 'THIS
GUY'S CRAZY AND I'M UP HERE IN
00:04:07.44\00:04:11.05
THE MOUNTAINS BY MYSELF.' AND
THEN I THOUGHT, 'WELL, I DON'T
00:04:11.08\00:04:13.62
WANT TO CALL HIM CRAZY
BECAUSE WHAT IF HE IS JESUS?
00:04:13.65\00:04:15.18
I'D LIKE TO KNOW. I'VE
GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS.'
00:04:15.22\00:04:18.22
AND SO, I STARTED SAYING, 'WELL,
NOW, DOESN'T IT SAY IN THE BIBLE
00:04:18.25\00:04:23.02
WHEN YOU COME, LIKE
EVERY EYE'S GOING TO SEE YOU
00:04:23.06\00:04:24.99
COMING IN THE CLOUDS?'
(LAUGHTER) HE SAID, 'THAT'S HOW
00:04:25.03\00:04:27.96
I'M COMING FOR THE WORLD
AT LARGE, BUT I'M COMING FOR
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.86
CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS FIRST.' AND
HE HAD AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING.
00:04:29.90\00:04:34.20
HE WAS TRYING TO
RECRUIT ME AS A DISCIPLE.
00:04:34.24\00:04:36.07
(LAUGHTER) AND SO, I HUMORED HIM
FOR A FEW DAYS - YOU KNOW, NICE
00:04:36.10\00:04:42.34
AND, YOU KNOW,
HE STAYED WITH ME.
00:04:42.38\00:04:44.35
HE ATE ALL MY
FOOD. HE WAS A SLOB.
00:04:44.38\00:04:46.72
HE DIDN'T CLEAN ANYTHING
UP. AND, FINALLY, I HAD TO
00:04:46.75\00:04:49.12
EVICT JESUS FROM MY CAVE.
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) A FEW DAYS
00:04:49.15\00:04:55.32
LATER I SAW HIM IN TOWN
AND HE HAD FOUND AN APOSTLE.
00:04:55.36\00:04:57.99
HE WAS WALKING AROUND - AND I
FELT MUCH BETTER BECAUSE ABOUT
00:04:58.03\00:05:01.80
TWO WEEKS
LATER, I SAW HIM AGAIN.
00:05:01.83\00:05:03.47
HE HAD GOTTEN IN A FIGHT WITH
SOMEBODY AND THEY KNOCKED OUT
00:05:03.50\00:05:05.60
HIS FRONT TOOTH AND WE ALL KNOW
JESUS HAS ALL HIS TEETH, SO THAT
00:05:05.63\00:05:09.60
SETTLED IT FOR ME. (LAUGHTER) I
FELT MUCH BETTER AT THAT POINT.
00:05:09.64\00:05:15.51
SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THOSE
KOOKY PEOPLE, BUT WHEN SATAN
00:05:15.54\00:05:19.85
IMPERSONATES CHRIST, IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY COMPELLING AND
00:05:19.88\00:05:24.79
THERE'LL BE AN EMOTIONAL
POWER AND THERE'LL BE SIGNS AND
00:05:24.82\00:05:27.22
WONDERS AND
HE'LL QUOTE THE BIBLE.
00:05:27.26\00:05:33.03
WHAT'LL PREVENT THE
RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING DECEIVED?
00:05:33.06\00:05:35.76
YOU READ IN ISAIAH 8, VERSE 20 -
IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE BIBLE -
00:05:35.80\00:05:39.93
ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND
THE TESTIMONY, IF THEY SPEAK
00:05:39.97\00:05:43.17
NOT ACCORDING TO THIS
WORD, THERE'S NO LIGHT IN THEM.
00:05:43.20\00:05:46.94
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO JUDGE
EVERYTHING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:05:46.98\00:05:50.08
THAT'S WHY I'VE TOLD YOU THAT WE
NEED TO REALLY KNOW OUR BIBLES
00:05:50.11\00:05:53.68
BECAUSE JESUS TELLS US THAT
THE DECEPTION IS GOING TO BE SO
00:05:53.72\00:05:56.62
COMPELLING THAT, IF IT WERE
POSSIBLE, EVEN THE VERY ELECT
00:05:56.65\00:05:59.72
WOULD BE DECEIVED. SO
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
00:05:59.75\00:06:02.49
CAREFULLY ROOTED IN WHAT WE
BELIEVE. WELL, IF YOU HEARD THAT
00:06:02.52\00:06:07.13
THERE WAS SOMEBODY OUT THERE AND
THEY'RE CLAIMING TO BE JESUS,
00:06:07.13\00:06:09.33
WOULD IT BE SAFE
TO GO AND SEE THEM?
00:06:09.36\00:06:10.93
>>NO. >>WHAT DOES THE LORD SAY?
00:06:10.97\00:06:13.60
HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 24, VERSES
26, "WHEREFORE, IF THEY SAY UNTO
00:06:13.64\00:06:17.61
YOU, 'BEHOLD, HE IS IN
THE DESERT.' GO NOT FORTH."
00:06:17.64\00:06:21.24
DON'T EVEN LOOK. 'HEY,
TURN ON CHANNEL 13 - JESUS
00:06:21.28\00:06:24.78
HAS JUST APPEARED IN JERUSALEM.'
I WOULDN'T EVEN TURN IT ON
00:06:24.81\00:06:29.55
BECAUSE THE DEVIL CAN HYPNOTIZE.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU HYPNOTIZE
00:06:29.58\00:06:32.62
A PERSON WITH THEIR
AUDIO AND THEIR VISUAL NERVES.
00:06:32.65\00:06:36.99
THE OPTIC AND THE AUDITORY
NERVES AND TELEVISION KIND OF
00:06:37.03\00:06:41.50
REACHES BOTH. AND
NOW THEY'VE GOT TV
00:06:41.53\00:06:45.07
IT'S LIKE HIGH RESOLUTION.
THEY'RE GETTING 3D - I MEAN,
00:06:45.10\00:06:48.20
IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
POWERFUL. DON'T DO IT.
00:06:48.24\00:06:51.47
WHAT CAN WE KNOW ABOUT
THE TIME OF JESUS' RETURN?
00:06:51.51\00:06:55.81
NOW, I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME
TIME ON THIS QUESTION SO JUST
00:06:55.84\00:06:57.61
GET COMFORTABLE BECAUSE I
WANT TO MAKE A FEW THINGS CLEAR:
00:06:57.65\00:07:00.95
FIRST OF ALL, REGARDING A
SPECIFIC TIME OF HIS COMING,
00:07:00.98\00:07:04.49
JESUS COULD NOT BE
MISUNDERSTOOD: "BUT OF THAT DAY
00:07:04.52\00:07:07.89
AND THAT HOUR KNOWETH
NO MAN." THAT SHOULD SETTLE
00:07:07.92\00:07:11.49
IT FOR EVERYBODY. SO,
IF SOMEONE COMES TO YOU AND
00:07:11.53\00:07:13.96
THEY SAY, 'WELL, I KNOW MOST
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, BUT NEAR THE
00:07:14.00\00:07:16.00
END WE'RE GOING
TO FIGURE IT OUT.
00:07:16.03\00:07:17.63
AND I'VE DONE SOME CALCULATING
AND I DON'T KNOW THE DAY AND THE
00:07:17.67\00:07:20.14
HOUR, BUT I KNOW THE MONTH.' AND
I'VE HEARD ALL KINDS OF STRANGE
00:07:20.17\00:07:24.24
THINGS. WHY WOULD
YOU TRY TO PICK THE DAY?
00:07:24.27\00:07:28.91
WOULD YOU WAIT 'TIL THE
LAST MINUTE TO GET READY?
00:07:28.94\00:07:31.31
HE SAID HE'S COMING BACK.
HE COULD COME FOR YOU TOMORROW.
00:07:31.35\00:07:34.82
BECAUSE IF YOU DIE, YOUR
NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS THE
00:07:34.85\00:07:38.32
RESURRECTION AND SO WE
NEED TO BE READY HOW OFTEN?
00:07:38.35\00:07:40.66
>>ALWAYS. >>JESUS
SAID, 'BE READY ALWAYS
00:07:40.69\00:07:43.69
LEST THAT DAY
OVERTAKE YOU AS A THIEF.'
00:07:43.73\00:07:46.53
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
OVERTAKEN AS A THIEF ALREADY.
00:07:46.56\00:07:50.40
AND SO, WE NEED TO BE READY.
00:07:50.43\00:07:52.10
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER HAROLD
CAMPING - FAMILY RADIO - I
00:07:52.13\00:07:57.07
TALKED TO HIM ONCE
OR TWICE ON THE RADIO.
00:07:57.11\00:07:59.57
MATTER OF FACT, AMAZING FACTS
INTERVIEWED HIM NOT TOO LONG
00:07:59.61\00:08:02.04
BEFORE HE DIED,
BECAUSE HE WAS SETTING A DATE.
00:08:02.08\00:08:04.91
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK HE
WAS SINCERE, BUT HE WAS WRONG.
00:08:04.95\00:08:08.88
A LOT OF PEOPLE GAVE EVERYTHING
THEY HAD - THEY INVESTED IN HIS
00:08:08.92\00:08:11.19
MINISTRY TO GET THE WORD
OUT THAT JESUS WAS COMING.
00:08:11.22\00:08:13.69
WHAT WAS IT, MAY 21,
2011? AND, OF COURSE,
00:08:13.72\00:08:17.79
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THAT
WAS THE SECOND OR THIRD
00:08:17.83\00:08:19.56
TIME HE HAD PREDICTED
THE DAY AND THE HOUR OF
00:08:19.59\00:08:21.63
THE LORD'S COMING.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:08:21.66\00:08:23.63
I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
EVERY PASTOR AND EVANGELIST THAT
00:08:23.67\00:08:27.67
HAS PICKED THE DATE
FOR THE LORD'S COMING HAS
00:08:27.70\00:08:29.94
BEEN WRONG SO FAR.
(LAUGHTER) YOU REALIZE THAT?
00:08:29.97\00:08:33.11
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE
DATES THAT HAVE PASSED.
00:08:33.14\00:08:35.31
AND SO, YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE GOING DOWN THAT ROAD.
00:08:35.34\00:08:38.21
BUT WHILE WE DON'T KNOW THE DAY
AND THE HOUR, CAN WE KNOW WHEN
00:08:38.25\00:08:41.28
IT'S NEAR? >>AMEN.
00:08:41.32\00:08:42.95
>>YES. >>JESUS IS PRETTY CLEAR.
00:08:42.98\00:08:44.59
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 33, "WHEN YOU
SEE ALL THESE THINGS, KNOW THAT
00:08:44.62\00:08:50.36
IT IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS."
THERE ARE GOING TO BE SIGNS
00:08:50.39\00:08:53.50
WHERE WE CAN
KNOW THAT IT IS NEAR.
00:08:53.53\00:08:55.50
AND WHAT ARE
SOME OF THOSE SIGNS?
00:08:55.53\00:08:58.10
WELL, THERE'S QUITE A FEW.
FIRST OF ALL, JESUS SAYS, IN
00:08:58.13\00:08:59.70
MATTHEW 24, THERE'LL BE
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
00:08:59.73\00:09:05.97
WELL, WE'VE HAD WARS ALL THROUGH
HISTORY AND CERTAINLY, NOW,
00:09:06.01\00:09:10.28
WE'VE GOT RUMORS OF WAR.
DO YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE
00:09:10.31\00:09:13.75
AMAZING FACT FOR YOU, THAT THE
WORLD SPENDS OVER 100 MILLION
00:09:13.78\00:09:19.82
DOLLARS AN HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES?
00:09:19.85\00:09:27.86
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HAVE
JUST A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT?
00:09:27.93\00:09:30.87
100 MILLION DOLLARS AN
HOUR ON INTERNATIONAL MILITARY
00:09:30.90\00:09:36.81
EXPENDITURES. THE
BIBLE SAYS THERE'LL BE
00:09:36.84\00:09:39.87
POLITICAL INSTABILITY - PEOPLE'S
HEARTS WILL BE FAILING FOR FEAR
00:09:39.91\00:09:44.21
- THE SEA AND THE WAVES
ROARING. AND WE SEE THAT NOW.
00:09:44.25\00:09:47.32
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH VOLATILITY
AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY AND
00:09:47.35\00:09:51.49
PROBLEMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
AND THERE HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS.
00:09:51.52\00:09:57.16
JESUS SAID THERE'LL BE
PESTILENCE - THAT'S PLAGUES -
00:09:57.19\00:10:00.70
AND VARIOUS KINDS OF DISEASE.
AND WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE EBOLA
00:10:00.73\00:10:04.43
CRISIS THAT THEY
HAD A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
00:10:04.47\00:10:06.90
BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK, REALLY,
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO BE
00:10:06.94\00:10:10.97
CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO
A PLAGUE IS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE
00:10:11.01\00:10:15.21
AS A FLU. DO YOU
KNOW THAT DURING WORLD
00:10:15.24\00:10:18.31
WAR I, WHAT KILLED THE MOST
PEOPLE WAS NOT THE BATTLES - AND
00:10:18.35\00:10:25.02
THEY WERE BRUTAL - OF WORLD WAR
1, IT WAS THE 1918 FLU EPIDEMIC
00:10:25.05\00:10:29.56
THAT KILLED 40
MILLION PEOPLE THAT YEAR.
00:10:29.59\00:10:34.36
AND, RIGHT NOW, THEY SAY THAT
THERE'S THE POTENTIAL OF ANOTHER
00:10:34.40\00:10:37.00
STRAIN OF THAT THAT IS RESISTANT
TO [TREATMENT] AND THE ABILITY
00:10:37.03\00:10:41.30
FOR US TO SPREAD THAT WITH
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL - YOU GET
00:10:41.34\00:10:44.51
ON AN AIRPLANE IN A TIN CAN WITH
ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE AND IT'S
00:10:44.54\00:10:48.18
HARD NOT TO PICK SOMETHING UP
AND TO TRANSMIT IT EVERYWHERE.
00:10:48.21\00:10:53.68
I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THOSE
THINGS, I'M JUST SAYING THESE
00:10:53.72\00:10:55.42
ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS.
HE SAID THERE'LL BE PLAGUES,
00:10:55.45\00:10:58.15
THERE'LL BE NATURAL DISASTERS.
BETWEEN 2004 AND 2014 18 - AND
00:10:58.19\00:11:05.89
THIS IS FROM THE GEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY OF AMERICA - 18
00:11:05.93\00:11:08.70
EARTHQUAKES WITH A MAGNITUDE OF
8.0 OR MORE RATTLED SUBDUCTION
00:11:08.73\00:11:14.00
ZONES AROUND THE GLOBE. THAT'S
AN INCREASE OF 265 PERCENT OVER
00:11:14.04\00:11:19.64
THE AVERAGE RATE OF THE PREVIOUS
CENTURY." AND SO, THEY'RE SEEING
00:11:19.67\00:11:24.11
AN ACCELERATION OF THE PROBLEMS.
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
00:11:24.15\00:11:26.61
LET ME TELL WHY
THESE SIGNS MATTER.
00:11:26.65\00:11:30.72
WE'VE ALWAYS HAD WARS.
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN PLAGUES -
00:11:30.75\00:11:33.22
YOU HAD THE BLACK DEATH - YOU'VE
HAD PROBLEMS IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:11:33.25\00:11:36.96
THERE'S, YOU KNOW, PROBLEMS
WITH EARTHQUAKES AND NATURAL
00:11:36.99\00:11:39.79
DISASTERS, BUT THE LORD
SAID IT'LL BE LABOR PAINS.
00:11:39.83\00:11:45.37
PAUL REFERS TO IT AS THE WHOLE
CREATION GROANS AND TRAVAILS -
00:11:45.40\00:11:49.47
IT COMPARES IT TO A BIRTH.
NOW, WE HAVE FIVE CHILDREN -
00:11:49.50\00:11:55.44
SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN - I KNOW
SOMETHING ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS.
00:11:55.48\00:11:59.41
WIFE SAYS, 'I'M FEELING SOME
PAIN.' YOU RUSH HER OFF TO THE
00:11:59.45\00:12:04.62
HOSPITAL AND HE LISTENS AND
SAYS, 'HOW FAR APART ARE THEY?'
00:12:04.65\00:12:07.82
'ABOUT A DAY OR TWO.'
HE SAYS, 'OH, GO BACK HOME.
00:12:07.86\00:12:10.63
THOSE ARE
BRAXTON-HICKS CONTRACTIONS.
00:12:10.66\00:12:13.23
THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
YOUR BODY'S JUST GETTING WARMED
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.30
UP.' BUT, EVENTUALLY, THOSE
PAINS WILL START COMING AND
00:12:15.33\00:12:21.07
HE'LL SAY, 'HOW FAR APART ARE
THEY? HOW SEVERE ARE THEY? AS
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.67
THEY INCREASE IN FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY, YOU KNOW THERE'S
00:12:24.71\00:12:28.91
GOING TO BE A BIRTH EVENTUALLY.
AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE
00:12:28.94\00:12:32.61
WORLD CANNOT BE DENIED THAT WITH
ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS THERE IS
00:12:32.65\00:12:35.98
AN INCREASE IN FREQUENCY AND
INTENSITY THAT TELLS US THAT THE
00:12:36.02\00:12:40.89
COMING OF THE LORD
IS GOING TO BE SOON.
00:12:40.92\00:12:45.06

EXTRAORDINARY
COSMIC EVENT IN HISTORY?

WILL WE BE SUDDENLY AND SECRETLY
RAPTURED AS MILLIONS ARE LEFT
00:12:59.87\00:13:03.51
BEHIND? OR WILL
JESUS' RETURN BE AS LOUD
00:13:03.55\00:13:07.05
AND BRIGHT AS
LIGHTNING FROM SKY TO SKY?
00:13:07.08\00:13:10.75
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A MILLION
DIFFERENT THEORIES OUT THERE,
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.95
BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE BIBLE
TRUTH AND JESUS PROMISES, IF WE
00:13:12.99\00:13:17.49

00:13:50.36\00:13:53.40
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:53.43\00:13:57.67
>>ANOTHER PROBLEM IS JUST WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:13:57.70\00:14:00.64
HALF OF THE WORLD'S WILDLIFE
SPECIES, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
00:14:00.67\00:14:03.87
SAYS, HAVE BEEN LOST
IN THE PAST 40 YEARS.
00:14:03.91\00:14:06.11
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:14:06.14\00:14:07.28
HALF OF THE WILDLIFE SPECIES
HAVE BEEN LOST IN 40 YEARS.
00:14:07.31\00:14:12.11
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'LL
BE VIOLENCE IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:14:12.15\00:14:15.98
HE SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS
OF NOAH, WHERE PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS
00:14:16.02\00:14:19.99
AND THEIR HEARTS WERE ONLY EVIL
CONTINUALLY AND VIOLENCE FILLED
00:14:20.02\00:14:23.26
THE LAND.' EVERY DAY,
MORE AMERICAN YOUTH DIE IN GANG
00:14:23.29\00:14:26.73
VIOLENCE THAN
FIGHTING IN FOREIGN WARS.
00:14:26.76\00:14:30.00
THAT STATISTIC HAS
BEEN TRUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
00:14:30.03\00:14:32.47
JESUS SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF LOT, SO WILL IT BE IN
00:14:32.50\00:14:35.60
THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF
MAN SHALL RETURN.' - MEANING
00:14:35.64\00:14:38.54
THERE'LL BE
TREMENDOUS IMMORALITY.
00:14:38.57\00:14:41.31
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SOME OF
YOU THAT HEARD THERE'S A WEBSITE
00:14:41.34\00:14:44.25
THAT ENCOURAGES
PEOPLE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR.
00:14:44.28\00:14:47.22
THEY SAY, 'LIFE IS SHORT.
HAVE AN AFFAIR.' YOU NOTICE THE
00:14:47.25\00:14:49.78
GIRL HAS GOT A WEDDING RING
ON? AND SOMEONE BREACHED THEIR
00:14:49.82\00:14:53.12
DATABASE - THEY CLAIMED TO
HAVE 56 MILLION PEOPLE GLOBALLY
00:14:53.15\00:14:58.06
- THAT'S PRETTY SAD. AND
THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE
00:14:58.09\00:15:01.63
IT ALL IF THEY DIDN'T BRING DOWN
THEIR SITE. THEY DIDN'T BRING
00:15:01.66\00:15:05.20
DOWN THEIR SITE AND A LOT OF
THESE VERY PERSONAL DETAILS OF
00:15:05.23\00:15:09.30
PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN EITHER
HAVING AFFAIRS OR CONTEMPLATING
00:15:09.34\00:15:12.51
AFFAIRS. LIKEWISE,
AS IT WAS, JESUS SAID,
00:15:12.54\00:15:17.01
'IN THE DAYS OF LOT, SO SHALL
IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF
00:15:17.05\00:15:19.65
MAN IS REVEALED.' AND I THINK WE
ALL KNOW THAT ONE OF THE SIGNS
00:15:19.68\00:15:22.82
IN LOT IS THEY HAD
TROUBLE KNOWING THAT GOD MADE
00:15:22.85\00:15:29.19
MALE AND FEMALE DIFFERENT.
IS IT JUST ME OR DO WE HAVE A
00:15:29.22\00:15:34.73
PROBLEM WITH THAT
IN THE WORLD TODAY?
00:15:34.73\00:15:37.30
YOU NOTICE I'M HAVING
TO BE CAREFUL HOW I SAY IT?
00:15:37.33\00:15:40.17
BUT THE BIBLE'S PRETTY
CLEAR - AND NOW IT'S NOT JUST -
00:15:40.20\00:15:43.64
YOU CAN IDENTIFY
AS WHATEVER YOU WANT.
00:15:43.67\00:15:46.27
IT'S NOT JUST YOU SAY, 'WELL,
I'M GOING TO IDENTIFY AS A MAN'
00:15:46.31\00:15:49.34
OR 'I'M GOING TO IDENTIFY'
- 'I'M GOING TO IDENTIFY AS
00:15:49.38\00:15:51.15
SOMETHING ELSE IN BETWEEN.' AND
THEY'RE GETTING DRIVERS LICENSES
00:15:51.18\00:15:56.18
WHERE YOU CAN HAVE,YOU KNOW, 50
DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR WHAT YOUR
00:15:56.22\00:15:58.22
SEXUAL IDENTITY IS.
I'M SORRY, GOD MADE TWO.
00:15:58.25\00:16:01.39
>>AMEN. >>AND THAT'S IT.
00:16:01.42\00:16:03.96
OVER POPULATION - IT TOOK ABOUT
5,000 YEARS TO GET THE FIRST
00:16:03.99\00:16:08.70
BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,
THEN IT ONLY TOOK 130 YEARS TO
00:16:08.73\00:16:11.83
GET THE SECOND BILLION.
THEN IT TOOK 30 YEARS TO GET THE
00:16:11.87\00:16:14.64
THIRD BILLION, 15 YEARS
TO GET THE FOURTH BILLION.
00:16:14.67\00:16:17.71
I REMEMBER WHEN
THERE WERE 3 BILLION.
00:16:17.74\00:16:19.17
NOW THEY'RE PUSHING
TOWARDS 8 BILLION PEOPLE.
00:16:19.21\00:16:23.21
YOU KNOW, FOR ME ALSO, ONE OF
THE AMAZING SIGNS THAT JESUS IS
00:16:23.24\00:16:26.48
COMING SOON IS FOUND
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12.
00:16:26.51\00:16:30.32
IT SAYS, 'BUT YOU, DANIEL, SHUT
UP THE WORDS, AND SEAL THE BOOK
00:16:30.35\00:16:32.92
UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END; MANY
SHALL RUN TO AND FRO," - AND
00:16:32.95\00:16:37.99
PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AND FRO:
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE
00:16:38.03\00:16:40.96
SAID, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FAR FROM
00:16:41.00\00:16:45.30
HOME MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY."
00:16:45.33\00:16:48.84
AND THEY'RE JUST - THE
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL - AS MUCH
00:16:48.87\00:16:52.64
AS WE COMPLAIN, IT'S
HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.
00:16:52.67\00:16:54.54
ALL THE PLANES ARE FULL THAT I'M
ON. AND HE SAID, GOING BACK TO
00:16:54.58\00:16:58.75
DANIEL,
"KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE."
00:16:58.78\00:17:01.42
LOOK AT THE EXPLOSION OF
KNOWLEDGE. NOW, YOU CAN HAVE A
00:17:01.45\00:17:03.72
LOT OF KNOWLEDGE AND NO
WISDOM. WISDOM IS KNOWING WHAT
00:17:03.75\00:17:07.22
TO DO WITH KNOWLEDGE. YOU
CAN HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND MAKE
00:17:07.26\00:17:09.09
AN ATOMIC BOMB AND NOT
HAVE THE WISDOM TO NOT USE IT.
00:17:09.12\00:17:12.69
SO, MAN HAS CERTAINLY
GOT A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE.
00:17:12.73\00:17:16.03
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD
ABOUT THE HADRON ACCELERATOR - I
00:17:16.06\00:17:19.37
THINK THAT WAS ON THE
SCREEN JUST A MOMENT AGO.
00:17:19.40\00:17:21.44
IT'S THE LARGEST SCIENTIFIC
EXPERIMENT IN THE WORLD.
00:17:21.47\00:17:25.17
17-MILE TUNNEL UNDERNEATH FRANCE
AND SWITZERLAND - 500-FEET BELOW
00:17:25.21\00:17:32.45
GROUND - 10,000 SCIENTISTS AND
THEY'RE TRYING TO ISOLATE AND
00:17:32.48\00:17:37.45
DISCOVER WHAT THEY CALL
'THE HIGGS BOSON' - THE GOD
00:17:37.49\00:17:40.89
PARTICLE. THEY'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW
00:17:40.92\00:17:43.49
THE UNIVERSE WAS DEVELOPED AND
THEY SPENT ALL THIS MONEY TO TRY
00:17:43.53\00:17:47.76
AND FIND OUT, YOU KNOW,
WHAT DOES EVERYTHING COME FROM?
00:17:47.76\00:17:52.27
AND, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO
GO THROUGH ALL OF THE AMAZING
00:17:52.30\00:17:54.57
INVENTIONS THAT HAVE
TAKEN PLACE IN THE LAST CENTURY.
00:17:54.60\00:17:57.54
SOME OF YOU HERE, YOU
GREW UP WITH KEROSENE LIGHTS.
00:17:57.57\00:18:01.91
AND THERE'S STILL PEOPLE HERE
WHO REMEMBER WHEN YOU RODE A
00:18:01.94\00:18:04.31
HORSE TO GET FROM POINT A TO
POINT B. LOOK AT HOW THE WORLD
00:18:04.35\00:18:07.38
HAS CHANGED IN ONE GENERATION.
BUT, FOR ME, THE MOST AMAZING
00:18:07.42\00:18:11.42
SIGN IS IN MATTHEW
24, VERSE 14. >>AMEN.
00:18:11.45\00:18:15.22
>>JESUS SAID, "AND THIS GOSPEL
OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED
00:18:15.26\00:18:18.69
IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS
UNTO THE NATIONS AND THEN THE
00:18:18.73\00:18:23.50
END WILL COME."
THE END MIGHT COME?
00:18:23.53\00:18:26.37
>>WILL. >>HE SAID
THE END SHALL COME -
00:18:26.40\00:18:28.67
IT WILL COME. IS THE
GOSPEL BEING PREACHED
00:18:28.70\00:18:31.34
IN ALL THE WORLD? >>YES.
00:18:31.37\00:18:32.57
>>NEVER BEFORE - I MEAN, EVEN AS
I SPEAK RIGHT NOW, THIS IS GOING
00:18:32.61\00:18:35.88
UP BY SATELLITE, IT'S ON AT
LEAST THREE DIFFERENT SATELLITE
00:18:35.91\00:18:39.58
NETWORKS, IT'S GOING
THROUGH THE INTERNET.
00:18:39.61\00:18:41.52
THERE'S PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING
IN NEW GUINEA AND AUSTRALIA AND
00:18:41.55\00:18:44.32
NORWAY AND JUST
ALL OVER THE PLANET.
00:18:44.35\00:18:48.06
IN CHINA AMAZING FACTS HAD
THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE FIRST
00:18:48.09\00:18:53.90
CHRISTIAN MINISTRY OF ANY
DENOMINATION TO DO A PUBLIC
00:18:53.93\00:18:58.03
EVANGELISTIC
MEETING IN CHINA - >>AMEN!
00:18:58.07\00:19:01.27
>>SINCE - IN THE LAST 59 YEARS
- AND WE VIDEOTAPED IT AND HOPE
00:19:01.30\00:19:06.27
CHINA DID IT AND IT'S BEING
BROADCAST AROUND CHINA - IT WAS
00:19:06.31\00:19:08.84
TRANSLATED. SO THE GOSPEL
IS GOING AROUND THE WORLD.
00:19:08.88\00:19:13.58
WE GET INTERNET - WE GET E-MAIL
FROM PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'RE
00:19:13.62\00:19:16.28
WATCHING OUR PROGRAM IN MIDDLE
EASTERN COUNTRIES - THEY SAY, 'I
00:19:16.32\00:19:18.75
CAN'T TELL YOU MY NAME BECAUSE
IF THIS GOT OUT MY LIFE COULD BE
00:19:18.79\00:19:22.26
IN DANGER.' BUT THEY'RE
WATCHING. THE GOSPEL IS GOING IN
00:19:22.29\00:19:25.46
ALL THE WORLD. >>AMEN.
00:19:25.49\00:19:27.13
>>AND SO, THAT'S WHY
I THINK JESUS IS COMING.
00:19:27.13\00:19:29.30
HE DIDN'T SAY EVERYBODY WOULD
BELIEVE, HE SAID, 'AS A WITNESS
00:19:29.33\00:19:31.97
TO ALL NATIONS, THEN THE END
WILL COME.' SO ARE WE GETTING
00:19:32.00\00:19:37.67
READY FOR JESUS' COMING? >>AMEN.
00:19:37.71\00:19:39.77
>>WHAT WILL THE ANGELS DO
AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS?
00:19:39.81\00:19:44.71
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WILL SEND
HIS ANGELS AND THEY WILL GATHER
00:19:44.75\00:19:47.88
TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
WINDS OF HEAVEN - THAT MEANS
00:19:47.92\00:19:51.09
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST - AND
THEY'LL BRING THEM TO THE LORD -
00:19:51.12\00:19:56.26
THEY'RE GOING TO BE CAUGHT
UP TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
00:19:56.29\00:19:58.36
NOW, SINCE WE'RE LIVING JUST
BEFORE THE SECOND COMING, HOW
00:19:58.39\00:20:02.63
SHOULD WE RELATE TO THIS
SOLEMN AND GLORIOUS EVENT?
00:20:02.66\00:20:06.57
HE SAYS, 'THEREFORE BE READY,
FOR IN SUCH AN HOUR YOU THINK
00:20:06.60\00:20:11.17
NOT, THE SON OF MAN IS COMING.'
I DID A PROGRAM LIKE THIS BACK
00:20:11.21\00:20:15.98
IN 1999 AND THERE WAS MILLENNIAL
FEVER AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT THE
00:20:16.01\00:20:20.75
WORLD WAS GOING TO END WITH
Y2K. ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT?
00:20:20.78\00:20:24.19
>>YES. >>THAT WAS THE MOTHER
00:20:24.22\00:20:25.49
OF ALL FALSE ALARMS.
AND I KNEW PEOPLE SOLD
00:20:25.52\00:20:29.39
EVERYTHING AND MOVED UP INTO
MONTANA AND, YOU KNOW, LIVED ON
00:20:29.42\00:20:32.39
GARBANZO BEANS OR WHATEVER AND
THEY JUST CUT UP THEIR CREDIT
00:20:32.43\00:20:35.40
CARDS AND SAID, 'WE'VE
GOT TO GET OFF THE GRID.
00:20:35.43\00:20:37.00
THE WORLD IS
GOING TO END WITH Y2K.
00:20:37.03\00:20:39.90
EVERYONE THOUGHT, '2000,
SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.'
00:20:39.93\00:20:43.77
YOU CAN LISTEN TO MY OLD TAPE, I
SAID, 'I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING
00:20:43.81\00:20:45.34
TO HAPPEN NOW.' 'WHY?'
'BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR
00:20:45.37\00:20:47.31
IT NOW.' (LAUGHTER) JESUS SAID,
'AS SUCH AN HOUR AS YOU THINK
00:20:47.34\00:20:50.85
NOT.' AND WHO'S HE
TALKING TO? THE CHURCH.
00:20:50.88\00:20:54.72
YOU NOTICE THAT WHEN JESUS TELLS
PARABLES ABOUT HIS SECOND COMING
00:20:54.75\00:20:58.65
HE SAID, 'BEFORE IT HAPPENS
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING.'
00:20:58.69\00:21:03.86
THERE WERE TEN VIRGINS -
FIVE WISE, FIVE FOOLISH -
00:21:03.89\00:21:08.40
ALL ASLEEP, RIGHT? >>RIGHT.
00:21:08.43\00:21:11.70
>>AND THEN THE BRIDEGROOM
SHOUTED THAT HE'S COMING -
00:21:11.73\00:21:13.90
THEY HAD TO WAKE UP.
JESUS SAID, 'IF THAT EVIL
00:21:13.94\00:21:16.64
SERVANT SAYS IN HIS HEART,
'MY LORD DELAYS HIS COMING.'' -
00:21:16.67\00:21:20.01
EVEN IF HE SAYS IT IN HIS
HEART - AND WE'RE ASLEEP AT THAT
00:21:20.04\00:21:24.85
CRITICAL MOMENT.
WHAT WERE THE DISCIPLES
00:21:24.88\00:21:26.25
DOING JUST BEFORE
THE CROSS? >>SLEEPING.
00:21:26.28\00:21:28.28
>>HE SAID, 'PRAY WITH
ME.' THEY WENT TO SLEEP.
00:21:28.32\00:21:30.75
ON THE MOUNTAIN WHEN MOSES AND
ELIJAH APPEAR AND GOD SPEAKS,
00:21:30.79\00:21:33.46
THE DISCIPLES FELL
ASLEEP. SO JESUS SAID, MARK
00:21:33.49\00:21:38.83
CHAPTER 13, "WATCH.
WATCH. WATCH." HOW DO YOU WATCH?
00:21:38.86\00:21:43.43
YOU HAVE TO BE SOBER.
YOU HAVE TO BE VIGILANT.
00:21:43.47\00:21:45.63
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING YOURSELF TO
00:21:45.67\00:21:49.90
DOZE OFF. DO YOU HAVE A
00:21:49.94\00:21:51.51
RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS? ARE YOU SPENDING
00:21:51.54\00:21:53.88
REGULAR TIME WITH HIM?
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO.
00:21:53.91\00:21:56.68
MAKE A NOTE, SET IT ON YOUR
COMPUTER, HAVE AN ALARM GO OFF.
00:21:56.71\00:21:59.75
BUT IF YOU TAKE TIME TO PRAY, IF
YOU TAKE TIME TO READ HIS WORD,
00:21:59.78\00:22:04.29
IF YOU TAKE TIME
- SHARE YOUR FAITH.
00:22:04.32\00:22:06.89
AND YOU NEED TO BE
STUDYING. KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
00:22:06.92\00:22:11.33
BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN
ANSWER TO ANYONE WHO ASKS YOU
00:22:11.36\00:22:14.30
THE REASON FOR THE HOPE THAT IS
IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR.
00:22:14.36\00:22:17.07
SO HOW WILL PEOPLE BE REWARDED
AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS?
00:22:17.10\00:22:21.40
THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO GROUPS.
00:22:21.44\00:22:23.20
THE LORD SAYS, 'BEHOLD, I COME
AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME TO GIVE
00:22:23.24\00:22:26.81
TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING
AS HIS WORKS SHALL BE."
00:22:26.84\00:22:30.95
WHAT WILL THE
RIGHTEOUS SAY WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:22:30.98\00:22:34.88
"LO, THIS IS OUR GOD.
WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM
00:22:34.92\00:22:38.12
AND HE WILL SAVE US."
DO YOU LIVE FOR THE LORD?
00:22:38.15\00:22:41.16
ARE YOU WAITING FOR HIM? >>YES.
00:22:41.19\00:22:43.19
>>YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS AGO,
A CAPTAIN, SCOTT O'GRADY, WAS
00:22:43.22\00:22:48.90
FLYING OVER BOSNIA DURING THE
WAR THERE, AND HIS JET WAS SHOT
00:22:48.93\00:22:54.20
DOWN. AND HE PARACHUTED OFF
00:22:54.24\00:22:57.97
INTO ENEMY TERRITORY.
AND HE KNEW THAT IF HE WAS
00:22:58.01\00:23:02.28
CAPTURED THAT - THEY HAD
BEEN DOING BOMB RUNS AND THAT HE
00:23:02.31\00:23:06.35
WOULD BE EITHER
KILLED OR TORTURED OR BOTH.
00:23:06.38\00:23:09.15
AND SO HE HAD TO HIDE.
CUT LOOSE HIS PARACHUTE, WENT
00:23:09.18\00:23:15.16
UNDER SOME BUSHES - HE KNEW WHEN
HE WAS SHOT DOWN THAT OTHERS SAW
00:23:15.19\00:23:17.83
HIS PARACHUTE COME DOWN
AND HE WAS HIDING UNDER BUSHES.
00:23:17.86\00:23:21.73
HE PUT HIS
CAMOUFLAGE GLOVES OVER HIS FACE.
00:23:21.76\00:23:24.23
HE SAW PEOPLE
WALKING RIGHT BY THE BUSHES.
00:23:24.27\00:23:27.70
HE HEARD THE SOLDIERS WITH GUNS
TALKING AND WALKING AROUND HIM
00:23:27.74\00:23:31.41
AND HE HAD TO STAY PERFECTLY
STILL. FOR SIX DAYS HE HID,
00:23:31.44\00:23:36.38
TERRIFIED - HE'D TRY TO SLEEP
AND STAY STILL DURING THE DAY.
00:23:36.41\00:23:41.72
ABOUT MIDNIGHT - HE'D GET UP
DURING THE NIGHT AND HE'D RUN -
00:23:41.75\00:23:46.39
TRY AND GET FURTHER AND
FURTHER AND TRY AND GET OUT IN
00:23:46.42\00:23:48.46
THE WILDERNESS - DIDN'T EVEN
RADIO FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE HE
00:23:48.49\00:23:51.36
KNEW THEY'D BE LISTENING
FOR HIS RADIO FREQUENCY.
00:23:51.39\00:23:54.56
AND HE CAUGHT RAINWATER IN A
SPONGE AND ATE BUGS AND PUT ALL
00:23:54.60\00:24:00.24
OF HIS TRAINING INTO PRACTICE.
00:24:00.27\00:24:02.64
YOU CAN READ, WHERE HE SAID
IN THIS TIME MAGAZINE A PILOT'S
00:24:02.67\00:24:05.77
STORY , "I PRAYED TO GOD AND
ASKED HIM FOR A LOT OF THINGS
00:24:05.81\00:24:10.55
AND HE DELIVERED ME
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TIME."
00:24:10.58\00:24:13.31
O'GRADY TOLD
TIME IN AN INTERVIEW.
00:24:13.35\00:24:14.88
"WHEN I PRAYED FOR
RAIN HE GAVE ME RAIN.
00:24:14.92\00:24:17.22
ONE TIME I PRAYED, 'LORD, LET ME
HAVE AT LEAST SOMEONE KNOW I'M
00:24:17.25\00:24:20.49
ALIVE AND MAYBE COME RESCUE
ME.' AND GUESS WHAT? THAT NIGHT
00:24:20.52\00:24:24.49
T.O." - THAT'S A FELLOW F-16
PILOT, THOMAS O. HANFORD - "CAME
00:24:24.53\00:24:28.70
UP ON THE RADIO." AT THAT MOMENT
O'GRADY KNEW HIS ORDEAL WAS
00:24:28.73\00:24:31.90
COMING TO AN END. >>AMEN.
00:24:31.93\00:24:33.74
>>WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW IS
THAT THEY HAD A FIX ON HIM.
00:24:33.77\00:24:39.61
THEY KNEW HE WAS SHOT DOWN AND
THEY MOBILIZED THE ENTIRE U.S.
00:24:39.64\00:24:45.18
AIR FORCE, MARINES - NATO WAS
ALL PREOCCUPIED WITH RESCUING
00:24:45.21\00:24:51.49
ONE SOLDIER. THAT'S
HOW MUCH ONE SOLDIER MEANS.
00:24:51.52\00:24:55.62
AND WHEN THEY FINALLY CAME AND
HE HAD TO RUN UP ON THIS HILL -
00:24:55.66\00:24:59.13
HE KNEW THEY HAD JUST A VERY
SHORT TIME - THE MARINES CAME IN
00:24:59.16\00:25:01.76
WITH THE HELICOPTERS - THEY SAW
HIS SMOKE - THEY LANDED AND THEY
00:25:01.80\00:25:05.60
PICKED HIM UP AND HE WAS SO
THANKFUL TO BE CAUGHT UP AND
00:25:05.63\00:25:11.17
SAVED FROM ENEMY TERRITORY.
WELL, WE'VE BEEN DOWN HERE FOR
00:25:11.21\00:25:14.81
6,000 YEARS, HAS
JESUS FORGOTTEN ABOUT US?
00:25:14.84\00:25:18.51
>>NO. >>WE'RE
IN ENEMY TERRITORY.
00:25:18.55\00:25:21.85
IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE
A CITIZEN OF ANOTHER KINGDOM,
00:25:21.88\00:25:24.39
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:25:24.42\00:25:25.62
>>AND HE IS NOT GOING
TO NEGLECT HIS PROMISE.
00:25:25.65\00:25:29.12
CHRIST HAS TOLD US VERY PLAINLY,
'IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY
00:25:29.16\00:25:32.83
MANSIONS. IF IT WAS NOT
SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU.
00:25:32.86\00:25:35.96
I WILL COME AGAIN.' >>AMEN.
00:25:36.00\00:25:39.40
>>HE CAME THE FIRST
TIME JUST LIKE HE PROMISED.
00:25:39.43\00:25:41.54
HE'S GOING TO
COME THE SECOND TIME.
00:25:41.57\00:25:43.64
DO YOU BELIEVE
IT, FRIENDS? >>YES.
00:25:43.67\00:25:44.97
>>AMEN. >>AND HE
WANTS TO TAKE US BACK
00:25:45.01\00:25:46.54
TO A WORLD WHERE THERE
IS NO MORE PAIN OR SORROW
00:25:46.57\00:25:49.28
OR SUFFERING. ONLY
THING THAT MATTERS IN

JESUS AND SHARING JESUS.

ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS THAT IS
00:26:02.69\00:26:05.23
