>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.53\00:00:05.00
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. (MUSIC)
00:00:05.03\00:00:09.57
>>THE CHRISTIANS OF THE
ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN WORLD USED
00:00:09.60\00:00:12.11
CATACOMBS, A NETWORK
OF SUBTERRANEAN CHAMBERS
00:00:12.14\00:00:14.98
AND GALLERIES FOR BURIAL.
00:00:15.01\00:00:16.54
BUT DURING TIMES OF PERSECUTION,
THE CATACOMBS BECAME PLACES OF
00:00:16.58\00:00:20.48
REFUGE BECAUSE BURIAL
GROUNDS WERE GUARDED OR
00:00:20.52\00:00:23.52
SACROSANCT BY ROMAN LAW.
00:00:23.55\00:00:26.15
WHEN CHURCHES ABOVE GROUND WERE
DESTROYED BY IMPERIAL ORDER,
00:00:26.19\00:00:29.22
WORSHIPPERS MET
IN CATACOMB CHAPELS.
00:00:29.26\00:00:31.79
BY AD 200, CHRISTIANS HAD CARVED
SOME 600 MILES OF TOMBS IN THE
00:00:31.83\00:00:37.40
VOLCANIC ROCK
IN AND AROUND ROME.
00:00:37.43\00:00:40.47
EVENTUALLY, THE CATACOMBS
EXPANDED INTO HONEYCOMBS OF
00:00:40.50\00:00:43.94
GALLERIES WITH
STAIRCASES AND MULTIPLE LEVELS.
00:00:43.97\00:00:47.68
ROMANS PREFERRED CREMATION, BUT
CHRISTIANS FOLLOWED THE PRACTICE
00:00:47.71\00:00:50.95
OF INTERRING THE
DEAD IN CATACOMBS,
00:00:50.98\00:00:52.98
WHICH THEY CALLED
CAIAMETRIA, OR SLEEPING PLACES,
00:00:53.01\00:00:56.69
TO SUGGEST THAT FOR A CHRISTIAN,
DEATH IS MERELY A SLEEP
00:00:56.72\00:01:00.32
BEFORE THE RESURRECTION.
00:01:00.36\00:01:03.09
DID YOU KNOW THAT JESUS PLAINLY
TAUGHT THAT DEATH IS A SLEEP?
00:01:03.12\00:01:07.50
IN FACT, ALL OF
SCRIPTURE CONFIRMS THAT IT IS AN
00:01:07.50\00:01:10.50
UNCONSCIOUS SLEEP UNTIL THE
RESURRECTION AT CHRIST'S RETURN.
00:01:10.53\00:01:14.77
SO WHY IS THERE
SO MUCH CONFUSION,
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.21
EVEN AMONG CHRISTIANS,
OVER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?
00:01:17.24\00:01:21.01
AND HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF
AGAINST SOME OF THE POTENTIALLY
00:01:21.04\00:01:24.31
DANGEROUS DELUSIONS
ABOUT DEATH IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:01:24.35\00:01:27.95
>>I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE BEEN TO PARIS BEFORE.
00:01:32.45\00:01:34.49
THEY'VE GOT A TOURIST ATTRACTION
THERE THAT IS A LITTLE BIT
00:01:34.52\00:01:38.19
GRISLY. IT'S THE
CATACOMBS OF PARIS.
00:01:38.23\00:01:42.03
UNLIKE THE CATACOMBS IN
ROME, WHERE IT SHOWS WHERE THE
00:01:42.06\00:01:44.47
CHRISTIANS LIVED AND SOME
OF THE BURIAL AREAS, BUT IN THE
00:01:44.50\00:01:48.64
CATACOMBS OF PARIS THEY,
BASICALLY, HAD A PROBLEM WITH
00:01:48.67\00:01:52.61
FINDING NEW GRAVES SHORTLY AFTER
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION BECAUSE,
00:01:52.64\00:01:56.98
YOU KNOW, THEY WERE JUST - SO
MANY PEOPLE WERE BUTCHERED WITH
00:01:57.01\00:01:59.58
THE GUILLOTINE - THEY COULDN'T
MANAGE ALL THE GRAVES AND IT
00:01:59.61\00:02:02.82
BECAME UNSANITARY.
WELL, THERE WERE ALL THESE
00:02:02.85\00:02:05.49
ANCIENT CATACOMBS UNDER PARIS
SO THEY BEGAN TO STACK UP THE
00:02:05.52\00:02:08.66
BODIES - THE REMAINS - OF SIX
MILLION PARISIANS IN 190 MILES
00:02:08.69\00:02:18.57
OF TUNNELS AND THERE ARE ABOUT
160,000 TOURISTS THAT VISIT
00:02:18.60\00:02:24.31
PARIS EVERY YEAR AND THEY GO
DOWN INTO THESE CATACOMBS AND
00:02:24.34\00:02:27.11
THEY WIND DOWN THIS SPIRAL
STAIRCASE AND THEY'VE GOT TOUR
00:02:27.14\00:02:29.38
GUIDES AND MOST OF IT,
OBVIOUSLY, IS BLOCKED OFF.
00:02:29.41\00:02:32.91
THEY'VE GOT THE ONE GUY THAT
WORKS THERE AND HE - THEY SAID,
00:02:32.95\00:02:38.92
'DOESN'T THIS BOTHER YOU - ALL
THESE SPIRITS SURROUNDED BY ALL
00:02:38.95\00:02:42.42
THE GHOSTS OF ALL THESE BONES?'
AND HE SAID, 'WELL, IT MADE ME
00:02:42.46\00:02:45.53
FEEL A LITTLE BIT CREEPY AT
FIRST BUT' - HE SAYS - 'NOW THE
00:02:45.56\00:02:48.10
BONES KIND OF FALL OFF AND I
PICK THEM UP AND I STICK THEM
00:02:48.13\00:02:50.30
BACK IN.' - HE SAID - 'YOU KNOW,
YOU JUST GET USED TO IT AFTER A
00:02:50.33\00:02:52.03
WHILE.' HOW'D YOU
LIKE TO HAVE THAT JOB?
00:02:52.07\00:02:53.87
BUT DO YOU REALLY NEED TO WORRY
ABOUT WALKING THROUGH A CEMETERY
00:02:53.90\00:02:59.74
AND THE PEOPLE SPOOKING
YOU? I HEARD ONE TIME, YOU KNOW,
00:02:59.77\00:03:06.31
PEOPLE PUT SOME INTERESTING
THINGS ON THEIR TOMBSTONES AND
00:03:06.35\00:03:08.08
IT'S AN EDUCATION TO
WALK THROUGH A CEMETERY.
00:03:08.12\00:03:12.02
AND THIS ONE MAN, HE PUT ON HIS
TOMBSTONE, "STOP, MY FRIEND, AS
00:03:12.05\00:03:17.63
YOU GO BY, AS I AM NOW - AS YOU
ARE NOW, SO ONCE WAS I, AS I AM
00:03:17.66\00:03:24.53
NOW, YOU SOON SHALL BE, SO
PREPARE YOURSELF TO FOLLOW ME."
00:03:24.57\00:03:29.17
(LAUGHTER) WELL A SCHOOLBOY WAS
WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY AND
00:03:29.20\00:03:32.77
HE STOPPED AND LOOKED AT THAT
WRITING ON THE TOMBSTONE AND HE
00:03:32.81\00:03:36.41
SCRIBBLED WITH CRAYON, HE SAID,
"TO FOLLOW YOU I'M NOT CONTENT,
00:03:36.44\00:03:40.02
UNTIL I KNOW
JUST WHERE YOU WENT."
00:03:40.05\00:03:42.48
(LAUGHTER) AND THAT'S REALLY THE
BIG QUESTION: WHERE DO THEY GO?
00:03:42.52\00:03:45.62
WHAT HAPPENS TO
PEOPLE WHEN THEY DIE?
00:03:45.65\00:03:48.56
JESUS GIVES US SOME ENCOURAGING
WORDS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
00:03:48.59\00:03:51.76
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 18. HE
SAYS, "I AM HE WHO LIVES, AND
00:03:51.79\00:03:56.93
WAS DEAD, AND BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE
FOREVERMORE...AND I HAVE THE
00:03:56.97\00:04:01.54
KEYS OF (HELL) AND OF DEATH."
NOW THE WORD HELL THERE IN THE
00:04:01.57\00:04:06.07
BIBLE REPRESENTS THE GRAVE.
HE SAYS, 'I'VE GOT THE KEYS OF
00:04:06.11\00:04:10.38
THE GRAVE AND DEATH.' WE DON'T
NEED TO BE AFRAID OF DEATH.
00:04:10.41\00:04:13.42
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT,
YOU'LL COME TO FIND THAT
00:04:13.45\00:04:15.85
CHRISTIANS DO NOT
REALLY DIE, THEY GO TO SLEEP.
00:04:15.88\00:04:21.49
LET'S FIND OUT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:04:21.52\00:04:22.96
LET'S GET INTO OUR STUDY.
QUESTION #1: TO UNDERSTAND THE
00:04:22.99\00:04:26.13
SUBJECT OF DEATH, WE'VE GOT
TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND
00:04:26.16\00:04:29.03
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN GOD FIRST MADE MAN.
00:04:29.06\00:04:31.93
HOW DID WE GET
HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
00:04:31.97\00:04:35.07
IT SAYS IN GENESIS 2, VERSE 7,
"AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF
00:04:35.10\00:04:38.71
THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND
BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE
00:04:38.74\00:04:43.31
BREATH OF LIFE; AND
MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL."
00:04:43.35\00:04:48.92
YOU NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY THAT
GOD GAVE MAN OR INJECTED HIM
00:04:48.95\00:04:52.59
WITH A SOUL. THE
COMBINATION OF THE BREATH OF
00:04:52.62\00:04:55.06
LIFE AND THE DUST OF THE EARTH
THAT THE LORD ASSEMBLED - MAN
00:04:55.09\00:04:59.23
THEN BECAME A LIVING
SOUL. DON'T MISS THAT.
00:04:59.26\00:05:01.83
WHEN GOD FIRST MADE ADAM AND
HE PUT ALL THE POSITIONS - THE
00:05:01.86\00:05:06.67
ORGANS IN THEIR PLACE AND THERE
WAS BLOOD IN ADAM'S VEINS BUT
00:05:06.70\00:05:10.77
HIS HEART WAS NOT BEATING AND HE
HAD A SET OF LUNGS BUT THEY WERE
00:05:10.81\00:05:13.34
NOT BREATHING - THEN IT SAYS,
'GOD BREATHED INTO HIM THAT
00:05:13.38\00:05:16.85
BREATH OF LIFE.' QUESTION #2:
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON DIES?
00:05:16.88\00:05:22.38
BASICALLY, IT'S
CREATION IN REVERSE.
00:05:22.42\00:05:27.29
YOU READ IN ECCLESIASTES 12,
VERSE 7, "THEN THE DUST" - THE
00:05:27.32\00:05:31.49
BODY - "SHALL RETURN
TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS."
00:05:31.53\00:05:33.83
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU DIE, YOU DECOMPOSE.
00:05:33.86\00:05:36.67
AND IT SAYS, "AND THE SPIRIT
WILL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT."
00:05:36.70\00:05:40.87
SO WHAT IS THIS SPIRIT
THAT RETURNS TO GOD AT DEATH?
00:05:40.90\00:05:46.98
IS IT A GHOST
THAT HOPS OUT OF YOU?
00:05:47.01\00:05:50.05
IT SAYS IN JOB, 'ALL THE
WHILE MY BREATH IS IN ME AND THE
00:05:50.08\00:05:54.02
SPIRIT OF GOD IS IN MY
NOSTRILS.' WELL, I BET YOU NEVER
00:05:54.05\00:05:58.89
THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY BEFORE
- YOU'VE GOT A SOUL UP YOUR NOSE
00:05:58.92\00:06:02.49
- THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOUR
NOSTRILS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:06:02.52\00:06:06.39
IT'S THE WORD THERE SPIRIT
IS THE HEBREW WORD RUACH AND IT
00:06:06.43\00:06:11.63
MEANS 'THE BREATH OF GOD IS IN
MY NOSTRILS.' THE WORDS BREATH
00:06:11.67\00:06:16.57
AND SPIRIT ARE INTERCHANGEABLE
MANY TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:16.60\00:06:19.91
IT HEBREW IT'S RUACH . THE
WORD OFTEN TRANSLATED SPIRIT
00:06:19.94\00:06:23.98
IN GREEK IS PNEUMA AND SO
THE WORD PNEUMA MEANS BREATH .
00:06:24.01\00:06:29.02
AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE TRANSLATED SPIRIT -
00:06:29.05\00:06:31.79
IT'S JUST THE WORD BREATH
AND THEY THINK IT MEANS A GHOST
00:06:31.82\00:06:34.19
JUMPS OUT OF YOU.
AGAIN, THE BODY WITHOUT THE
00:06:34.22\00:06:37.16
SPIRIT IS DEAD. THAT
WORD THERE SPIRIT IN JAMES
00:06:37.19\00:06:39.83
CHAPTER 2 IS BREATH . THE
BODY WITHOUT THE BREATH IS
00:06:39.86\00:06:42.40
DEAD. EVERYTHING BREATHES IN OUR
00:06:42.43\00:06:44.33
WORLD. EVEN FISH BREATHE.
00:06:44.37\00:06:46.84
MUSHROOMS BREATHE. THERE
IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATH.
00:06:46.87\00:06:50.11
EVERY SINGLE CELL OF LIFE IN
OUR WORLD USES THE GASES OF AIR
00:06:50.14\00:06:56.18
SOMEHOW - THEY BREATHE OR THEY
DIE. SO WHAT IS A SOUL THEN?
00:06:56.21\00:07:01.02
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE
SOUL AND EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S A
00:07:01.05\00:07:04.19
LITTLE BUTTERFLY GHOST - SOME
KIND OF PINK COTTON CANDY THAT
00:07:04.22\00:07:06.76
COMES OUT OF YOU.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, AN
00:07:06.79\00:07:10.39
ETHEREAL CREATURE.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:07:10.43\00:07:13.80
TEACHES. WHAT IS A SOUL?
00:07:13.83\00:07:16.50
GENESIS 2:7, "THE LORD GOD
FORMED MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE
00:07:16.53\00:07:19.73
GROUND," - WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW
THIS - "AND BREATHED INTO HIS
00:07:19.77\00:07:22.24
NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF
LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A (SOUL)."
00:07:22.27\00:07:26.44
THE COMBINATION OF THE
TWO THINGS BECOMES A SOUL.
00:07:26.47\00:07:29.14
LET'S SUPPOSE FOR A MOMENT HERE
I'VE GOT A BOX - JUST A LITTLE
00:07:29.18\00:07:32.31
WOODEN BOX - IT'S A
COMBINATION OF WOOD AND NAILS.
00:07:32.35\00:07:36.45
AND I PUT THE WOOD AND THE
NAILS TOGETHER AND I MAKE A BOX.
00:07:36.48\00:07:39.55
TWO COMPONENTS -
WOOD AND NAILS - BOX.
00:07:39.59\00:07:42.39
SO I NOW TAKE MY HAMMER AND
I PULL OUT THE NAILS AND I SET
00:07:42.42\00:07:46.29
THEM OVER HERE, AND I TAKE
THE LITTLE PIECES OF BOARD - THE
00:07:46.33\00:07:49.43
WOOD - AND I SET THEM OVER
HERE. I'VE STILL GOT THE NAILS.
00:07:49.46\00:07:52.53
I'VE STILL GOT THE
WOOD. WHERE'S THE BOX?
00:07:52.57\00:07:55.50
THE BOX STOPS BEING A BOX
WHEN YOU SEPARATE THE TWO.
00:07:55.54\00:07:59.61
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
WITH YOU BEING A SOUL.
00:07:59.64\00:08:02.78
WHEN YOU SEPARATE THE BREATH
OF LIFE FROM THE BODY, IT STOPS
00:08:02.81\00:08:08.18
BEING A SOUL. YOUR
SOUL EXPERIENCES EVERYTHING
00:08:08.22\00:08:11.32
YOUR SOUL
EXPERIENCES IN YOUR BODY.
00:08:11.35\00:08:13.46
SO THE IDEA THAT YOU'VE GOT
A LITTLE GHOST INSIDE YOU THAT
00:08:13.49\00:08:16.26
GOES FLITTING AROUND AFTER YOU
DIE, YOU DON'T FIND THAT IN THE
00:08:16.29\00:08:19.06
BIBLE. QUESTION
- BIG QUESTION - DO
00:08:19.09\00:08:24.30
SOULS DIE? CAN A SOUL DIE?
00:08:24.33\00:08:28.07
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'NO, YOUR
SOUL'S IMMORTAL.' LET'S FIND OUT
00:08:28.10\00:08:31.67
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
EZEKIEL 18, VERSE 4, "THE SOUL
00:08:31.71\00:08:35.08
WHO SINS" - CAN YOU
SEE WHAT THAT SAYS? -
00:08:35.11\00:08:37.98
IT SHALL WHAT? - "THE
SOUL WHO SINS SHALL DIE."
00:08:38.01\00:08:41.95
THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.
ONLY THE LORD HAS IMMORTALITY.
00:08:41.98\00:08:45.15
SO YOU DON'T
HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:08:45.19\00:08:47.12
MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ
IN REVELATION 16, SPEAKING ABOUT
00:08:47.16\00:08:50.29
ONE OF THE PLAGUES IT SAYS, 'AND
EVERY SOUL IN THE SEA DIED.'
00:08:50.33\00:08:53.60
THERE THE WORD SOUL IS SPEAKING
ABOUT EVERY LIVING CREATURE.
00:08:53.63\00:08:58.10
AND SO WHEN IT SAYS, IN
ECCLESIASTES 'THE BODY RETURNS
00:08:58.13\00:09:01.54
TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS AND THE
SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE
00:09:01.57\00:09:05.17
IT', WHAT IS THAT
SPIRIT THAT RETURNS TO GOD?
00:09:05.21\00:09:08.44
EVERY CREATURE IN THE WORLD GETS
ITS LIFE FROM GOD AND WHEN ANY
00:09:08.48\00:09:13.31
CREATURE DIES THE LIFE
RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE IT.
00:09:13.35\00:09:17.29
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S UP
THERE HAVING A CONVERSATION -
00:09:17.32\00:09:19.55
THE BUTTERFLIES AND THE FISH
ARE ALL TALKING TO EACH OTHER -
00:09:19.59\00:09:21.79
THEY'VE ALL GOT
THESE LITTLE GHOSTS.
00:09:21.82\00:09:23.32
IT'S JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
POWER OF LIFE RETURNS TO GOD WHO
00:09:23.36\00:09:25.46
GAVE IT. AND WE
READ A LOT OF THINGS AND
00:09:25.49\00:09:27.76
SUPERSTITIONS INTO
THE BIBLE. IT'S NOT THERE.
00:09:27.83\00:09:30.13
DO GOOD PEOPLE GO TO
HEAVEN RIGHT WHEN THEY DIE?
00:09:30.17\00:09:32.20
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS - JOB
17:13 - "IF I WAIT, THE GRAVE IS
00:09:32.23\00:09:37.04
MINE HOUSE." THEY SLEEP A
DREAMLESS SLEEP IN THE GRAVE.
00:09:37.07\00:09:41.31
AND AGAIN, 'MEN AND BRETHREN' -
PETER SPEAKING - 'LET ME FREELY
00:09:41.34\00:09:45.31
SPEAK UNTO YOU OF THE PATRIARCH
DAVID THAT HE IS BOTH DEAD AND
00:09:45.35\00:09:49.52
BURIED AND THAT HIS TOMB IS
WITH US TO THIS DAY.' NOW, I'M
00:09:49.55\00:09:55.12
SPEAKING ABOUT GOOD KING DAVID,
YOU KNOW, THE ONE WHO KILLED
00:09:55.16\00:09:58.99
GOLIATH. HOW MANY
BELIEVE, IF YOU KNOW
00:09:59.03\00:10:01.33
YOUR BIBLE AT ALL,
THAT DAVID WOULD BE SAVED?
00:10:01.36\00:10:03.60
DAVID'S GOING TO BE SAVED.
DAVID DIED 3,000 YEARS AGO -
00:10:03.63\00:10:09.00
1,000 YEARS BEFORE
CHRIST - GOOD MAN, GOOD KING.
00:10:09.04\00:10:13.24
HERE PETER IS PREACHING RIGHT
NOW AT PENTECOST 1,000 YEARS
00:10:13.27\00:10:17.21
LATER - AFTER THE CROSS - AFTER
JESUS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN - AND
00:10:17.25\00:10:21.58
HE SAID, 'LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
KING DAVID, THAT HE IS DEAD AND
00:10:21.62\00:10:25.45
BURIED AND HIS GRAVE IS STILL
WITH US TO THIS DAY.' THEY COULD
00:10:25.49\00:10:28.16
LOOK AND SEE WHERE HIS
GRAVE WAS, RIGHT THERE OUTSIDE
00:10:28.19\00:10:30.09
JERUSALEM. IT'S STILL
THERE TODAY - I'VE BEEN THERE.
00:10:30.13\00:10:31.79
READING ON, PETER SAYS, 'FOR
DAVID IS NOT ASCENDED INTO THE
00:10:31.83\00:10:36.80
HEAVENS.' NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW
MORE CLEAR THE APOSTLE CAN BE
00:10:36.83\00:10:40.54
WHEN HE SAYS,
'HE'S DEAD. HE'S BURIED.
00:10:40.57\00:10:42.74
HIS GRAVE IS WITH US AND HE'S
NOT IN HEAVEN.' SO IF GOOD KING
00:10:42.77\00:10:46.94
DAVID IS NOT IN HEAVEN YET AND
JESUS HAS HAD 3,000 YEARS TO GET
00:10:46.98\00:10:50.05
HIM THERE, THEN MAYBE WE DON'T
GO THERE UNTIL A FUTURE TIME.
00:10:50.08\00:10:54.22

JOHN CHAPTER 5 - THESE ARE
THE WORDS OF JESUS - VERSE 28.
00:10:58.52\00:11:01.62
WHEN THE LORD COMES BACK IT
SAYS, "...ALL THAT ARE IN THE
00:11:01.66\00:11:05.19
GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS
VOICE" AND COME FORTH.
00:11:05.23\00:11:08.53
THERE'S A RESURRECTION. HOW
MANY OF YOU KNEW THERE WAS A
00:11:08.56\00:11:11.07

LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:12:30.08\00:12:33.31
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:33.35\00:12:35.78
HOW MUCH DOES ONE COMPREHEND
00:12:37.15\00:12:39.65
AFTER DEATH? I
MEAN, DON'T YOU DIE AND AT
00:12:39.69\00:12:44.16
LEAST YOU'RE IN LIMBO OR
PURGATORY OR ABRAHAM'S BOSOM?
00:12:44.19\00:12:48.63
WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PLACES WE'VE
CONCOCTED WHERE PEOPLE KIND OF
00:12:48.66\00:12:51.07
-IT'S A WAITING ROOM FOR HEAVEN
OR HELL AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:12:51.10\00:12:55.07
TEACH THAT. SHOW ME THE
WORD LIMBO IN THE BIBLE.
00:12:55.10\00:12:58.31
PURGATORY - WHERE'S THAT IN THE
BIBLE? IT'S NOT THERE, IS IT?
00:12:58.34\00:13:04.61
THESE ARE JUST MAN-MADE THINGS.
ECCLESIASTES 9:5, 6, 10 -
00:13:04.65\00:13:10.85
SEVERAL PLACES YOU CAN
LOOK. DO YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE,
00:13:10.89\00:13:13.96
FRIENDS? >>AMEN.
00:13:13.99\00:13:15.69
>>HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS: "...THE
DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING," -
00:13:15.72\00:13:17.89
COULDN'T BE MORE CLEAR THAN
THAT. IT'S LIKE A DICTIONARY
00:13:17.93\00:13:21.20
DEFINITION. -
"NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE A
00:13:21.23\00:13:23.67
REWARD; FOR THE
MEMORY OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN.
00:13:23.70\00:13:26.07
ALSO THEIR LOVE, AND THEIR
HATRED, AND THEIR ENVY, IS NOW
00:13:26.10\00:13:28.90
PERISHED; NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY
MORE A PORTION FOR EVER IN ANY
00:13:28.94\00:13:32.94
THING THAT IS
DONE UNDER THE SUN."
00:13:32.97\00:13:35.34
UNDER THE SUN
MEANS IN THIS LIFE.
00:13:35.38\00:13:36.88
ONCE A PERSON DIES, THEY DON'T
COME BACK TO HAUNT ANYBODY.
00:13:36.91\00:13:39.08
THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO AT ALL
00:13:39.11\00:13:42.28
WITH ANYTHING THAT'S
GOING ON IN THIS WORLD.
00:13:42.32\00:13:44.65
AGAIN, SPEAKING OF THE DEAD,
IT SAYS, 'HIS SONS WILL COME
00:13:44.69\00:13:48.72
TO HONOR AND HE KNOWS IT NOT.
00:13:48.76\00:13:51.13
THEY ARE BROUGHT LOW AND HE
PERCEIVES IT NOT OF THEM.' IN
00:13:51.16\00:13:54.30
OTHER WORDS, WHEN A PERSON DIES,
THEY'RE NOT UP IN HEAVEN LOOKING
00:13:54.36\00:13:57.23
DOWN ON THEIR FAMILY - FIRST OF
ALL, WOULD YOU BE VERY HAPPY UP
00:13:57.27\00:14:00.17
IN HEAVEN IF YOU COULD LOOK DOWN
AND SEE ALL THE TROUBLE THAT
00:14:00.20\00:14:05.24
YOUR FAMILY IS HAVING AND MAYBE
YOUR KIDS ARE GOING THROUGH?
00:14:05.27\00:14:09.01
I MEAN, WOULD YOU BE ENJOYING
THE BLISS OF HEAVEN WHEN YOU SEE
00:14:09.04\00:14:11.35
ALL THE TRAGEDY AND
MISERY ON THIS WORLD?
00:14:11.38\00:14:13.08
IT SAYS THE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
HAVE NO MORE PAIN - NO MORE
00:14:13.11\00:14:15.98
SORROW. THEY'RE
NOT GOING THROUGH ALL
00:14:16.02\00:14:19.02
THAT AGONY OF WATCHING WHAT'S
HAPPENING DOWN HERE, THEY ARE
00:14:19.05\00:14:22.56
SLEEPING A
PEACEFUL, DREAMLESS SLEEP.
00:14:22.59\00:14:25.33
NOW SOME OF US ARE THINKING
RIGHT NOW, 'PASTOR DOUG, WHAT
00:14:25.36\00:14:27.50
ABOUT THAT VERSE THERE IN 1
CORINTHIANS - 'TO BE ABSENT FROM
00:14:27.50\00:14:30.47
THE BODY IS TO BE
PRESENT WITH THE LORD'?
00:14:30.50\00:14:32.50
WELL, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
IF YOU'RE SAVED AND YOU DIE,
00:14:32.53\00:14:38.24
YOUR NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT
IS THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:14:38.27\00:14:42.58
JESUS CALLED UNCONSCIOUSNESS
- THE UNCONSCIOUS STATE OF THE
00:14:42.61\00:14:46.11
DEAD - SLEEP IN
JOHN 11, VERSES 11 TO 14.
00:14:46.15\00:14:49.78
HOW LONG WITH THEY SLEEP?
00:14:49.82\00:14:52.25
IT SAYS, 'SO MAN LIES DOWN AND
HE RISES NOT UNTIL THE HEAVENS
00:14:52.29\00:14:56.09
BE NOR MORE.' NOW WE READ
THIS ONE TO YOU A MOMENT AGO.
00:14:56.12\00:14:58.63
WHEN IS IT WHEN THE
HEAVENS ARE NO MORE?
00:14:58.66\00:15:00.83
'THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME
IN WHICH THE HEAVENS PASS AWAY.'
00:15:00.86\00:15:04.73
SO THEY SLEEP UNTIL
THE HEAVENS ARE NO MORE.
00:15:04.77\00:15:06.77
THEY SLEEP UNTIL
THE HEAVENS PASS AWAY.
00:15:06.80\00:15:08.54
THAT'S WHEN THE DAY OF THE LORD
COMES AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
00:15:08.57\00:15:11.01
SO IT'S AT THE COMING OF THE
LORD THAT THE DEAD WILL RISE.
00:15:11.04\00:15:14.41
THEY'RE NOT RISEN YET.
AS FAR AS THEY'RE CONCERNED,
00:15:14.44\00:15:17.98
THEY HAVE NO
CONSCIOUSNESS OF TIME.
00:15:18.01\00:15:20.18
THE RESURRECTION HAPPENS AS SOON
AS THEY DIE BECAUSE IT'S THE
00:15:20.22\00:15:23.28
NEXT THING THEY KNOW, BUT WE
LIVE IN TIME, HAS IT HAPPENED
00:15:23.32\00:15:26.86
YET? ' FOR AS IN ADAM, ALL DIE.
00:15:26.89\00:15:30.89
EVEN SO, IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE
MADE ALIVE.' SO EVERYONE DIES IN
00:15:30.93\00:15:35.30
ADAM. WE'VE ALL
GOT THESE PHYSICAL
00:15:35.33\00:15:36.50
BODIES. ADAM DIED.
00:15:36.53\00:15:38.33
GOD'S SAYING 'THE DAY YOU
EAT THEREOF YOU WILL DIE.' ADAM
00:15:38.37\00:15:40.70
BEGAN DYING, SPIRITUALLY, AND
THEN EVEN BEGAN DYING PHYSICALLY
00:15:40.74\00:15:44.81
THE DAY THAT HE SINNED.
'BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER:
00:15:44.84\00:15:50.75
CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS' -
HERE'S THE ORDER - THIS IS NEW
00:15:50.78\00:15:53.28
TESTAMENT. WHEN DO THEY RAISE?
00:15:53.31\00:15:55.32
- 'CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS,
AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE
00:15:55.35\00:15:58.49
CHRIST'S' - WHAT DOES
IT SAY? - 'AT HIS COMING.'
00:15:58.52\00:16:02.19
WHEN DO THEY RISE? WE
ALL DIE, BUT AFTERWARD 'THEY
00:16:02.22\00:16:05.83
THAT ARE CHRIST'S, AT HIS
COMING' - THAT'S WHEN THEY COME
00:16:05.86\00:16:08.36
BACK TO LIFE. IF
THAT'S CLEAR SAY 'AMEN.'
00:16:08.40\00:16:10.47
>>AMEN. >>THAT'S SO CLEAR TO ME.
00:16:10.50\00:16:12.10
JESUS MADE IT SO CLEAR, HE SAID,
'OUR FRIEND LAZARUS IS ASLEEP.'
00:16:12.13\00:16:17.11
AND THEN HE LATER EXPLAINED,
WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAID, 'WELL
00:16:17.14\00:16:19.14
GOOD, HE'S SICK - SLEEP, THAT'LL
BE GOOD FOR HIM.' HE SAID, 'NO,
00:16:19.17\00:16:21.18
NO, LAZARUS IS DEAD.'
JESUS SAID, 'I'M SPEAKING IN
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.58
SYMBOLIC TERMS.
LAZARUS IS DEAD.'
00:16:23.61\00:16:27.25
LATER HE GOES TO THE TOMB TO
RAISE LAZARUS - HE'D BEEN DEAD
00:16:27.28\00:16:30.89
FOUR DAYS AND MARTHA WANTED
TO - SHE SAID, 'LORD, IT'S NOT
00:16:30.92\00:16:36.46
GOING TO BE PLEASANT.' HE
SAID, 'ROLL AWAY THE STONE.'
00:16:36.49\00:16:38.66
AND SHE SAID, 'BY THIS
TIME THERE'S A BAD SMELL
00:16:38.69\00:16:40.56
BECAUSE HE'S
BEEN DEAD FOUR DAYS.
00:16:40.60\00:16:41.86
YOU KNOW IT'S SO - DEATH IS NOT
A PRETTY THING.' AND HE SAID,
00:16:41.90\00:16:46.23
'HE'S NOT GOING TO SMELL.' 'IT'S
GOING TO BE AWFUL, LORD.' HE
00:16:46.27\00:16:48.27
SAID, 'ROLL AWAY THE STONE.
TRUST ME.' WHEN THEY ROLLED AWAY
00:16:48.30\00:16:50.37
THE STONE IT PROBABLY STUNK WHEN
THEY DID. BUT THEN JESUS SAID -
00:16:50.41\00:16:54.48
'WHEN HE SAID THESE THINGS
HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE,
00:16:54.51\00:16:57.18
'LAZARUS COME FORTH.'' ALL
OF A SUDDEN, IN THE DARK OPENING
00:16:57.21\00:17:01.75
OF THAT TOMB, THIS FIGURE
CAME WADDLING OUT, BOUND UP WITH
00:17:01.78\00:17:05.59
THESE MUMMY-LIKE CLOTHS
AND JESUS SAID, 'LOOSE HIM.'
00:17:05.62\00:17:09.76
LAZARUS WAS ALIVE.
NOW HERE'S A QUESTION:
00:17:09.79\00:17:12.99
A LOT OF THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD TEACHES
00:17:13.03\00:17:15.10
TODAY THAT WHEN YOU DIE YOU GO
RIGHT TO HEAVEN OR HELL - BEFORE
00:17:15.13\00:17:17.87
THE JUDGMENT,
BEFORE THE RESURRECTION.
00:17:17.90\00:17:19.47
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT?
THAT IS A FALSE TEACHING.
00:17:19.50\00:17:23.10
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
POPULAR IT IS, IT IS UNBIBLICAL.
00:17:23.14\00:17:25.91
AND, IF NOTHING ELSE,
USE YOUR HEAD - THINK.
00:17:25.94\00:17:29.34
THERE ARE ABOUT TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:29.38\00:17:32.15
IF ONE PERSON WAS RESURRECTED
IN THE WORLD TODAY - A BONA FIDE
00:17:32.18\00:17:36.99
RESURRECTION - DEAD AND BURIED
FOUR DAYS, DOCTORS DECLARED THEM
00:17:37.02\00:17:39.89
DEAD - DEAD, DEAD, DEAD - COLD,
LIFELESS, DEAD - NO BRAIN WAVES
00:17:39.92\00:17:44.43
- BURIED HIM. FOUR
DAYS LATER THEY OPEN THE
00:17:44.46\00:17:46.59
GRAVE, THEY STINK, AND ALL OF
A SUDDEN THEY COME BACK TO LIFE.
00:17:46.63\00:17:49.83
WOULD YOU HAVE EVERY NEWS AGENCY
IN THE WORLD SENDING REPORTERS -
00:17:49.86\00:17:55.57
AND THEY WOULD BE SHOVING
MICROPHONES IN THEIR FACE AND
00:17:55.60\00:17:58.34
SAYING, 'WHAT WAS IT LIKE ON THE
OTHER SIDE? WHAT DID YOU SEE?
00:17:58.37\00:18:02.01
WHAT DID YOU EXPERIENCE?' RIGHT?
00:18:02.04\00:18:04.95
HOW COME, OUT OF THE TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE, NOT
00:18:04.98\00:18:08.75
ONE OF THEM EVER COMMENTS ON
WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED IN DEATH?
00:18:08.78\00:18:13.56
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
EXPERIENCE ANYTHING!
00:18:13.59\00:18:16.76
I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE? WHAT
A DIRTY TRICK THAT WOULD BE.
00:18:16.79\00:18:19.56
HERE LAZARUS DIES - HE'S UP
IN HEAVEN. HE'S WITH THE ANGELS.
00:18:19.59\00:18:22.53
HE'S GETTING - REACHING OUT FOR
THE TREE OF LIFE AND ALL OF A
00:18:22.56\00:18:24.70
SUDDEN - POOF! - HE'S
BACK IN GRAVE CLOTHES.
00:18:24.73\00:18:27.37
'THANKS JESUS, I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT.' 'YEAH, I
00:18:27.40\00:18:30.61
THOUGHT I'D RAISE YOU 'CAUSE
YOU'RE MY FRIEND - BRING YOU
00:18:30.64\00:18:33.01
BACK, GIVE YOU YOUR OLD BODY
AGAIN.' WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN -
00:18:33.04\00:18:36.41
OR, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF HE
WAS BURNING IN HELL AND JESUS
00:18:36.44\00:18:39.31
BROUGHT HIM BACK HE'D
SAY, 'OH BOY, IT WAS HOT.
00:18:39.35\00:18:41.72
THANKS A LOT!' BUT HE
MAKES NO COMMENT AT ALL
00:18:41.75\00:18:44.52
ABOUT ANYTHING. WHY?
BECAUSE THEY KNEW BACK THEN THE
00:18:44.55\00:18:47.09
DEAD DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING. THEY'RE ASLEEP.
00:18:47.12\00:18:49.26
IT'S A DREAMLESS
UNCONSCIOUS SLEEP.
00:18:49.29\00:18:50.99
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW POPULAR
THE OTHER TEACHINGS ARE, THEY'RE
00:18:51.03\00:18:54.73
NOT BIBLICAL, FRIENDS.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RIGHTEOUS
00:18:54.73\00:18:58.13
DEAD AT THE SECOND COMING OF
JESUS? IT SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS
00:18:58.17\00:19:02.07
15, 'WE'LL BE CHANGED IN A
MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF
00:19:02.10\00:19:05.24
AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET'
- SPEAKING OF THE TRUMP WHEN THE
00:19:05.27\00:19:08.14
LORD DESCENDS - 'FOR THE TRUMPET
WILL SOUND AND THE DEAD WILL BE
00:19:08.18\00:19:11.31
RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE.' -
SPEAKING OF THE SAVED DEAD.
00:19:11.35\00:19:15.75
THEY'RE THE ONES IN THE
FIRST RESURRECTION - 'FOR THIS
00:19:15.78\00:19:18.25
CORRUPTIBLE' - THIS OLD BODY IS
NOT GOING TO BE THERE - 'IT MUST
00:19:18.29\00:19:21.09
PUT ON INCORRUPTION' -
THE GLORIFIED BODY - 'AND THIS
00:19:21.12\00:19:24.06
MORTAL' - WE'RE MORTAL NOW -
'WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.' WHEN
00:19:24.09\00:19:27.60
DO WE GET IMMORTALITY?
WHEN THE LORD COMES.
00:19:27.66\00:19:31.27
OUR BODIES AREN'T IMMORTAL YET.
WHAT WAS THE DEVIL'S FIRST LIE?
00:19:31.30\00:19:35.44
FIRST LIE THAT THE DEVIL
TOLD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:19:35.47\00:19:38.24
HE SAID TO EVE, 'YOU SHALL NOT
SURELY DIE.' GOD SAID, 'YOU EAT
00:19:38.27\00:19:43.21
THE FORBIDDEN
FRUIT AND YOU'LL DIE.'
00:19:43.24\00:19:44.95
THERE'S TWO CHOICES
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN PEOPLE.
00:19:44.98\00:19:47.18
HE 'SO LOVED THE WORLD HE
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
00:19:47.22\00:19:50.05
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM MIGHT
NOT PERISH' - DIE - 'BUT HAVE
00:19:50.09\00:19:53.82
EVERLASTING LIFE.'
IT'S LIFE OR DEATH.
00:19:53.86\00:19:56.42
THAT'S WHAT SALVATION'S
ALL ABOUT - LIFE OR DEATH.
00:19:56.46\00:19:58.39
'HE THAT HAS THE SON HAS LIFE;
HE THAT HAS NOT THE SON HAS NOT
00:19:58.43\00:20:01.23
LIFE.' YOU SEE, THE DEVIL SAYS,
'YOU EITHER LIVE FOREVER IN HELL
00:20:01.26\00:20:05.10
OR YOU LIVE FOREVER IN HEAVEN
BECAUSE YOU'RE IMMORTAL.' THE
00:20:05.13\00:20:08.34
BIBLE DOESN'T TEACH THAT.
WE'VE GOT LIFE OR DEATH THAT WE
00:20:08.37\00:20:11.04
GET TO CHOOSE. THE
DRAGON SAID, 'YOU'LL NOT
00:20:11.07\00:20:14.11
REALLY DIE, YOU'LL BE
TRANSFORMED INTO A GHOST OR
00:20:14.14\00:20:17.68
YOU'LL BE REINCARNATED.'
HE'S GOT ALL THESE OTHER
00:20:17.71\00:20:19.48
THEORIES. 'THAT
OLD SERPENT CALLED THE
00:20:19.51\00:20:22.12
DEVIL AND SATAN WHO DECEIVES THE
WHOLE WORLD.' HE'S A SERPENT.
00:20:22.15\00:20:26.79
THAT'S WHAT THE DRAGON SAID
TO EVE, 'YOU DON'T REALLY DIE.'
00:20:26.82\00:20:29.29
DOES THE DEVIL STILL SAY
THAT TODAY? YOU KNOW WHAT'S SAD?
00:20:29.32\00:20:33.36
THE DEVIL IS SAYING IT TODAY
THROUGH MANY PULPITS AROUND THE
00:20:33.40\00:20:35.30
WORLD - THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALLY
DIE, THEY TURN INTO GHOSTS OR
00:20:35.33\00:20:40.14
SPIRITS OR ANGELS OR
THEY'RE REINCARNATED, OR THEY'RE
00:20:40.17\00:20:43.07
CHANNELED SOMEWHERE ELSE IN SOME
OTHER UNIVERSE AND THERE'S NO
00:20:43.10\00:20:46.78
LIMIT TO THE THEORIES.
QUESTION #8: WHY DID THE DEVIL
00:20:46.81\00:20:50.95
LIE TO EVE ABOUT DEATH?
COULD THIS SUBJECT BE MORE
00:20:50.98\00:20:55.32
IMPORTANT THAN
MANY PEOPLE THINK?
00:20:55.35\00:20:58.05
'AND WHEN THEY SAY UNTO YOU,
'SEEK THOSE THAT HAVE MEDIUMS
00:20:58.09\00:21:01.42
AND WIZARDS WHO WHISPER AND
MUTTER,' - PEOPLE GO TO GET A
00:21:01.46\00:21:05.89
SOOTHSAYER - THEY GO TO GET
SOMEONE WHO WILL CHANNEL - AN
00:21:05.93\00:21:09.26
OCCULTIST - A MEDIUM - TO CALL
BACK THE DEAD - TO COMMUNICATE.
00:21:09.30\00:21:13.50
GOD SAYS, 'SHOULD NOT
A PEOPLE SEEK THEIR GOD?
00:21:13.54\00:21:16.84
SHOULD THEY SEEK THE
DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING?'
00:21:16.87\00:21:19.41
GOD IS SAYING, 'WHY ARE YOU
TRYING TO TALK TO THE DEAD?'
00:21:19.44\00:21:22.81
AND YET OUR CULTURE
IS JUST FULL OF THIS.
00:21:22.84\00:21:25.81
"SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE
FAITH," - PAUL SAID - 1 TIMOTHY
00:21:25.85\00:21:29.38
4:1 - "GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING
SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF
00:21:29.42\00:21:33.62
DEVILS;" A LOT OF PEOPLE ON OUR
WORLD - EVEN IN OUR CHURCHES -
00:21:33.66\00:21:37.03
THAT HAVE BEEN SEDUCED BY
SPIRITS - THEY'RE DECEIVED - AND
00:21:37.06\00:21:40.03
THEY SAY, 'WELL, I KNOW WHAT
THE BIBLE SAYS, BUT I HAD THIS
00:21:40.06\00:21:42.83
SPIRIT TELL ME.' A LOT OF
FOLKS - AND SOME WHO DON'T EVEN
00:21:42.86\00:21:46.94
BELIEVE IN GOD,
SOMEHOW BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
00:21:46.97\00:21:48.64
YOU HELP ME FIGURE THAT OUT.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD BUT
00:21:48.67\00:21:51.34
THEY BELIEVE THE DEAD,
SOMEHOW, CAN COMMUNICATE.
00:21:51.37\00:21:54.21
THEY BELIEVE IN
SPIRITISM IS WHAT IT IS.
00:21:54.24\00:21:57.41
LIFE AFTER DEATH.
SCIENTISTS SEARCH FOR THE
00:21:57.45\00:22:02.32
MEANING OF
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES.
00:22:02.35\00:22:04.09
YOU'VE HEARD OF
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES?
00:22:04.12\00:22:05.59
SOMETIMES THEY'RE CALLED 'NDES'.
00:22:05.62\00:22:08.69
A PERSON DIES ON THE OPERATING
TABLE - OSTENSIBLY DIES -
00:22:08.72\00:22:13.26
SUPPOSEDLY THEY DIE - THEIR
HEART STOPS BEATING - AND SO THE
00:22:13.29\00:22:16.63
BRAIN IS NOT GETTING OXYGEN AND
THEN THEY HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE
00:22:16.67\00:22:19.70
WHERE THEY COME OUT OF THEIR
BODY AND THEY THEN BEGIN TO
00:22:19.73\00:22:22.57
HOVER ABOVE THE OPERATING TABLE
AND THEY CAN KIND OF HEAR WHAT'S
00:22:22.60\00:22:25.41
GOING ON AND THEY'RE HAVING
ALL KINDS OF WEIRD EXPERIENCES.
00:22:25.44\00:22:30.51
SOME DOCTORS DID SOME RESEARCH
ON THIS, REGARDING CARBON
00:22:30.55\00:22:35.18
DIOXIDE AND OUT OF BODY
EXPERIENCES - OBES, HERE.
00:22:35.22\00:22:39.99
IN ONE EXPERIMENT, DOCTOR
LADISLAS MEDUNA ADMINISTERED 30
00:22:40.02\00:22:45.16
PERCENT CARBON DIOXIDE AND
70 PERCENT OXYGEN TO A SUBJECT.
00:22:45.19\00:22:49.46
AFTERWARD THE SUBJECT STATED,
'I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS LOOKING
00:22:49.50\00:22:52.83
DOWN AT MYSELF - AS THOUGH
I WAS WAY OUT HERE IN SPACE.
00:22:52.87\00:22:56.67
I FELT SORT OF SEPARATED.'
WELL THE GUY DIDN'T DIE.
00:22:56.71\00:23:00.34
YOU SHOW ME SOMEONE GETS THEIR
HEAD CUT OFF AND COMES BACK.
00:23:00.38\00:23:02.98
(LAUGHTER) I'LL BE IMPRESSED.
THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENS.
00:23:03.01\00:23:05.51
THEIR HEART STOPS BEATING
IS TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS.
00:23:05.55\00:23:08.32
DO DEVILS REALLY WORK MIRACLES?
IT SAYS, 'FOR THEY ARE THE
00:23:08.35\00:23:12.92
SPIRITS OF DEVILS WORKING
MIRACLES.' AND AGAIN HE SAYS,
00:23:12.95\00:23:17.83
'I WILL GO FORTH AND I'LL BE A
LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF HIS
00:23:17.86\00:23:22.46
PROPHETS.' CAN DEVILS PERFORM
SIGNS AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES?
00:23:22.50\00:23:26.03
>>YES. >>CAN THEY DECEIVE?
00:23:26.07\00:23:29.04
IT SAYS, 'THERE WILL ARISE IN
THE LAST DAYS FALSE CHRISTS AND
00:23:29.07\00:23:33.01
FALSE PROPHETS
AND THEY' - DO WHAT?
00:23:33.04\00:23:35.51
- 'THEY SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND
WONDERS INASMUCH THAT IF IT WERE
00:23:35.54\00:23:39.41
POSSIBLE THEY WOULD DECEIVE EVEN
THE VERY ELECT.' GOD IS SAYING,
00:23:39.45\00:23:42.32
'LOOK, I'VE TOLD YOU
BEFOREHAND.' SO WHY DO WE NEED
00:23:42.35\00:23:45.09
TO UNDERSTAND THIS
SUBJECT IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:23:45.12\00:23:47.99
BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS GOING TO
USE THE MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT
00:23:48.02\00:23:50.86
DEATH TO DECEIVE MANY PEOPLE.
"BY THY SORCERIES" - REVELATION
00:23:50.89\00:23:55.93
18:23 - "WERE ALL NATIONS
DECEIVED." I HEARD A STORY ABOUT
00:23:55.96\00:24:02.84
A WOMAN WHO WAS, I THINK, LIVING
IN SAN FRANCISCO AT THE TIME,
00:24:02.87\00:24:06.84
DURING THE VIETNAM WAR.
SHE HAD A SON OVER THERE.
00:24:06.88\00:24:11.58
THE SON WAS NOT A
CHRISTIAN - ANYTHING BUT.
00:24:11.61\00:24:15.35
AND THEN ONE DAY SHE GOT A
VERY TRAGIC NOTE IN THE MAIL.
00:24:15.38\00:24:19.12
IT SAID - WHEN SHE OPENED IT UP
SHE STARTED TO SHAKE BECAUSE SHE
00:24:19.15\00:24:22.32
KNEW IT WAS FROM
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
00:24:22.36\00:24:24.23
IT SAID, 'WE REGRET TO INFORM
YOU THAT YOUR SON IS MISSING IN
00:24:24.26\00:24:27.76
ACTION AND PRESUMED DEAD.' OH,
SHE WAS JUST TOTALLY DEVASTATED
00:24:27.83\00:24:31.53
- HER ONLY SON AND IT REALLY
HURT HER BECAUSE SHE WAS A GOOD
00:24:31.57\00:24:33.67
CHRISTIAN AND, BY ALL OUTWARD
EXPERIENCE IT SEEMED LIKE HE HAD
00:24:33.70\00:24:39.01
DIED LOST. AND THEN
ONE DAY, WHILE SHE WAS
00:24:39.04\00:24:42.74
IN HER BEDROOM WEEPING, ALL OF
A SUDDEN HER SON APPEARED AND HE
00:24:42.78\00:24:49.25
WAS THERE AND HE SAID, 'MOM' -
AND HE'S IN THIS GLOWING ROBE -
00:24:49.28\00:24:52.09
HE SAID, 'I'VE SEEN
YOU. I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU.
00:24:52.12\00:24:54.16
YOU'RE CRYING OVER ME AND YOU
DON'T NEED TO CRY ANYMORE.' HE
00:24:54.19\00:24:55.99
SAID, 'I'M OKAY.' AND SO
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
00:24:56.02\00:24:59.53
SHE SAID, 'SON' - SHE WENT TO
LUNGE FOR HIM AND HUG HIM AND HE
00:24:59.56\00:25:02.33
SAID, 'YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME.' - HE
SAID - 'BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
00:25:02.36\00:25:05.67
THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY.'
'BUT YOU AREN'T A CHRISTIAN.' HE
00:25:05.70\00:25:07.94
SAID, 'GOD IS MERCIFUL.
HE SAVES EVERYBODY.' AND SHE
00:25:07.97\00:25:11.94
SAID, 'WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT
THE BIBLE SAYS.' 'WELL, THESE
00:25:11.97\00:25:13.91
WARNINGS ARE IN THE BIBLE TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LIVE RIGHT,
00:25:13.94\00:25:17.51
BUT GOD IS MERCIFUL.
NOBODY'S GOING TO HELL.
00:25:17.55\00:25:19.48
NO ONE WILL BE LOST.' AND
HE BEGAN TO TELL HER ALL THESE
00:25:19.51\00:25:21.48
THINGS THAT WERE CONTRADICTING
THE BIBLE AND SHE WAS SO
00:25:21.52\00:25:24.39
CONFUSED. AND HE
APPEARED TO HER SEVERAL
00:25:24.42\00:25:27.12
TIMES AND IT MADE
HER FEEL GOOD TO SEE HIM.
00:25:27.16\00:25:29.66
IT GAVE HER COMFORT TO SEE THIS
APPARITION BUT SHE WAS SO - AND
00:25:29.69\00:25:32.69
SHE WAS A LEADER IN HER CHURCH.
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:25:32.73\00:25:36.33
AND THEN ONE DAY SHE HEARD A
KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND SHE OPENED
00:25:36.36\00:25:38.20
THE DOOR AND THERE'S HER
SON AGAIN, EXCEPT NOW HE'S IN A
00:25:38.23\00:25:40.80
UNIFORM AND HIS
ARM IS IN A SLING.
00:25:40.84\00:25:43.44
AND SHE SAID, 'WHY ARE YOU
APPEARING AT THE DOOR AND WHY
00:25:43.47\00:25:46.24
ARE YOU WEARING THIS UNIFORM?'
AND HE SAID, 'MOM, WHAT ARE YOU
00:25:46.27\00:25:48.01
TALKING ABOUT?
AREN'T YOU GLAD TO SEE ME?'
00:25:48.04\00:25:50.51
IT WAS HER REAL SON.
HE WASN'T REALLY DEAD.
00:25:50.55\00:25:55.32
EVIDENTLY, THE DEVILS GOT -
THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE CRASHED
00:25:55.35\00:25:57.79
OR SOMETHING. THEY
MESSED UP AND THEY STARTED
00:25:57.82\00:25:59.05
IMPERSONATING HER SON
AND HE WASN'T REALLY DEAD.
00:25:59.09\00:26:01.89
SHE SAW SOMETHING,
BUT IT WASN'T HER SON.
00:26:01.92\00:26:05.59
AND HE HAD BEEN WORKING ON HER
TO DECEIVE HER ABOUT WHAT THE
00:26:05.63\00:26:09.06
BIBLE REALLY SAID, ERODING
THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE.
00:26:09.10\00:26:12.70
ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR THE BIBLE
TRUTH THAT TEACHES US THE TRUTH
00:26:12.73\00:26:17.51
ON THIS
SENSITIVE SUBJECT OF DEATH?
00:26:17.54\00:26:20.04
YOU KNOW, I'M SO GLAD YOU CAN
SAY WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL THAT
00:26:20.08\00:26:23.95
'I MIGHT KNOW HIM AND THE POWER
OF HIS RESURRECTION.' JESUS
00:26:23.98\00:26:27.98
SAID, 'I AM HE THAT LIVES.
I WAS DEAD AND BEHOLD, I AM
00:26:28.02\00:26:31.22
ALIVE FOREVERMORE.' AND
HE'S GOT THE KEYS OF DEATH
00:26:31.25\00:26:34.59
AND HELL. WE'RE
FINISHING WHERE WE
00:26:34.62\00:26:35.86
STARTED. HE'S GOT
THOSE KEYS OF LIFE AND
00:26:35.89\00:26:37.46
HE'S OFFERING
THEM TO YOU AND ME.
00:26:37.49\00:26:40.20
THAT'S GOOD NEWS, FRIENDS.
NOBODY'S UP THERE HAUNTING YOU.
00:26:40.23\00:26:44.33
PEOPLE DON'T GET THEIR REWARDS
UNTIL THE LORD COMES BACK.
00:26:44.37\00:26:48.10
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT BECAUSE
JESUS ROSE AGAIN, WE CAN RISE
00:26:48.14\00:26:51.34
AGAIN. HE IS THE
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
00:26:51.37\00:26:53.94
IF YOU'VE GOT
JESUS, YOU'VE GOT LIFE.
