>> THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.33\00:00:04.60
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.70\00:00:06.87
>> CONTRARY TO THE POPULAR
BELIEF THAT LIGHTNING NEVER
00:00:11.24\00:00:14.28
STRIKES THE SAME SPOT TWICE,
IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN KNOWN TO
00:00:14.31\00:00:17.28
STRIKE OBJECTS, EVEN PEOPLE,
MULTIPLE TIMES DURING INTENSE
00:00:17.31\00:00:20.78
ELECTRICAL STORMS.
DURING ONE STORM, FOR INSTANCE,
00:00:20.82\00:00:24.05
THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
IN NEW YORK WAS STRUCK 15
00:00:24.09\00:00:27.56
TIMES WITHIN 15 MINUTES.
SOMETIMES A SINGLE BOLT OF
00:00:27.59\00:00:31.63
LIGHTNING WILL REALLY CONSIST
OF AS MANY AS 42 DISCHARGES
00:00:31.66\00:00:35.80
STRIKING THE SAME SPOT IN SUCH
QUICK SUCCESSION THAT IT APPEARS
00:00:35.83\00:00:40.04
LIKE A SINGLE FLASH, BUT
IT ALL HAPPENS IN LESS THAN
00:00:40.07\00:00:42.70
ONE-QUARTER OF A SECOND.
LIGHTNING, FROM ONE CLOUD TO
00:00:42.74\00:00:45.71
ANOTHER, IS ALSO VERY COMMON AND
IT'S BEEN RECORDED TO JUMP AS
00:00:45.74\00:00:49.44
FAR AS 20 MILES BETWEEN CLOUDS.
BUT WHETHER LIGHTNING IS MOVING
00:00:49.48\00:00:53.45
FROM CLOUD TO CLOUD OR CLOUD TO
GROUND OR GROUND TO CLOUD, IT'S
00:00:53.48\00:00:57.19
HARD TO MISS THE
BRILLIANT BLINDING FLASH THAT
00:00:57.22\00:01:00.16
ILLUMINATES THE SKY. IN
MATTHEW 24 JESUS SAID, "FOR
00:01:00.19\00:01:04.46
AS LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE EAST
AND FLASHES TO THE WEST, SO ALSO
00:01:04.49\00:01:08.86
WILL THE COMING OF
THE SON OF MAN BE."
00:01:08.90\00:01:11.43
IN SPITE OF HIS WORDS, SOME
STILL BELIEVE THAT HIS RETURN IS
00:01:11.47\00:01:14.74
GOING TO BE A SECRET.
WELL, WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
00:01:14.77\00:01:17.91
JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:01:17.94\00:01:21.08
REALLY SAYS ABOUT
THE RETURN OF CHRIST.
00:01:21.11\00:01:24.55
>> WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT THE THEME OF CHRIST'S
00:01:28.05\00:01:29.92
RETURN IN OUR PRESENTATION THIS
MORNING, AND WE'VE BEEN DOING
00:01:29.95\00:01:34.02
SOME OF THESE THINGS IN THE
CONTEXT OF THE ANNIVERSARY FOR
00:01:34.06\00:01:37.66
THE REFORMATION. I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE,
00:01:37.69\00:01:41.26
BUT MARTIN LUTHER, MELANCHTHON -
THAT'S PHILIP MELANCHTHON - AND
00:01:41.30\00:01:46.37
MANY OF THE OTHER REFORMERS,
THEY BELIEVED IN SOMETHING
00:01:46.40\00:01:49.00
CALLED 'THE GREAT WEEK OF TIME.'
THEY BELIEVED THAT THE HISTORY
00:01:49.04\00:01:53.21
OF MAN WOULD LAST ABOUT SIX
THOUSAND YEARS AND THEN WE SPEND
00:01:53.24\00:01:56.41
A THOUSAND YEARS WITH THE
LORD IN HEAVEN AND THEN, AT THAT
00:01:56.44\00:02:00.38
TIME, THE EARTH
WOULD BE PURIFIED AND ALL
00:02:00.42\00:02:03.95
THINGS MADE NEW. HIS
DATING WAS OFF A LITTLE BIT
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.82
ABOUT HOW OLD HE THOUGHT THE
WORLD WAS, ADDING UP THE - THE
00:02:07.86\00:02:11.79
BIBLE AGES, BUT MANY
OF THEM BELIEVED IN THIS.
00:02:11.83\00:02:14.40
ONE OF THE FOUNDERS
IN OUR MOVEMENT, J.N.
00:02:14.46\00:02:16.36
ANDREWS, HE WROTE A BOOK ON 'THE
GREAT MILLENNIAL WEEK' OR 'THE
00:02:16.40\00:02:19.50
WEEK OF TIME.' AND, BASICALLY,
WHAT IT SAYS IS, BECAUSE OF THAT
00:02:19.53\00:02:23.10
VERSE THERE IN 2 PETER CHAPTER
3, VERSE 8 - PETER IS ALSO
00:02:23.14\00:02:27.08
QUOTING PSALMS WHERE IT SAYS, 'A
THOUSAND YEARS IN HIS SIGHT ARE
00:02:27.11\00:02:31.01
AS A DAY WHEN IT IS GONE.' PETER
SAYS, "WITH THE LORD ONE DAY IS
00:02:31.05\00:02:34.18
AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A
THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY."
00:02:34.22\00:02:37.55
AND WHEN YOU ADD UP THE AGES
IN THE BIBLE - AND WE DON'T KNOW
00:02:37.59\00:02:40.96
EXACTLY, SO DON'T USE THIS
TO TRY AND SET A DATE - BUT, YOU
00:02:40.99\00:02:44.46
KNOW, APPROXIMATELY 4,000 B.C.
ADAM WAS CREATED AND THIS STARTS
00:02:44.49\00:02:51.77
GIVING THE AGES - HOW LONG ADAM
LIVED AND HOW LONG SETH LIVED
00:02:51.80\00:02:55.14
AND HOW LONG ENOS
LIVED AND ON UP TO NOAH.
00:02:55.17\00:02:58.27
AND THEN THERE'S SOME AMBIGUITY.
00:02:58.31\00:02:59.71
THAT'S WHY WE DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT DATE, BECAUSE IT SAYS NOAH
00:02:59.74\00:03:01.91
HAD SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH AND,
UNLESS THEY WERE TRIPLETS, WE
00:03:01.94\00:03:04.78
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
00:03:04.81\00:03:06.61
AND THEN YOU GO ON DOWN THROUGH
ABRAHAM AND WE CAN PRETTY
00:03:06.65\00:03:09.62
ACCURATELY TRACK HISTORY FROM
ABRAHAM AND THE EXODUS TO THE
00:03:09.65\00:03:13.36
PRESENT DAY. THE
JEWS WERE VERY GOOD AT
00:03:13.39\00:03:17.06
KEEPING A CAREFUL CHRONOLOGY.
JESUS WAS BORN ABOUT 4 B.C.
00:03:17.09\00:03:22.86
IT'S INTERESTING, [ADAM] WAS
CREATED APPROXIMATELY 4004 B.C.
00:03:22.90\00:03:28.10
- THAT'S BISHOP
USHER'S CHRONOLOGY.
00:03:28.14\00:03:30.17
ABRAHAM WAS BORN 2004
[B.C.]. JESUS WAS BORN 4 B.C.
00:03:30.21\00:03:36.08
WE'RE NOW LIVING ABOUT 2,000
YEARS AFTER CHRIST, AND THEN
00:03:36.11\00:03:39.61
JESUS COMES AND WE LIVE AND
REIGN WITH HIM FOR A THOUSAND
00:03:39.65\00:03:41.72
YEARS. >>AMEN.
00:03:41.75\00:03:43.12
>>YOU'VE GOT THREE GREAT AGES:
YOU'VE GOT THE AGE OF THE FIRST
00:03:43.15\00:03:46.22
TWO THOUSAND YEARS FROM
THE CREATION TO ABRAHAM, THAT'S
00:03:46.25\00:03:50.16
KNOWN AS THE AGE OF THE
PATRIARCHS - THESE ARE THREE
00:03:50.19\00:03:52.49
EPOCHS THAT YOU SEE IN THE
BIBLE - GOD PREACHED THE GOSPEL
00:03:52.53\00:03:55.66
THROUGH THE PATRIARCHS - THEY
WEREN'T JEWS BACK THEN - THAT'S
00:03:55.70\00:03:58.47
NOAH, ENOCH,
METHUSELAH, SO FORTH.
00:03:58.50\00:04:01.30
THEN ABRAHAM IS BORN. FOR
THE NEXT TWO THOUSAND YEARS
00:04:01.34\00:04:04.21
GOD PREACHES THE GOSPEL THROUGH
THE JEWS - THE ISRAELITES -
00:04:04.24\00:04:08.98
HIS PEOPLE. AND GOD HAD
COMMITTED THE ORACLES OF
00:04:09.01\00:04:12.91
TRUTH TO THEM AND THE
MESSIAH CAME THROUGH THEM.
00:04:12.95\00:04:16.32
AND THEN YOU HAVE, FOR THE LAST
2,000 YEARS, GOD IS SHARING THE
00:04:16.35\00:04:19.89
GOSPEL WITH THE WORLD THROUGH
THE CHURCH OR SPIRITUAL ISRAEL,
00:04:19.92\00:04:23.29
AND THEN CHRIST
IS GOING TO COME.
00:04:23.32\00:04:26.53
AND WE WILL LIVE AND REIGN
WITH HIM FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:04:26.56\00:04:29.60
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A
THOUSAND-YEAR SABBATH.
00:04:29.63\00:04:31.93
AND THEN HE CREATES A
NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
00:04:31.97\00:04:35.97
AND YOU JUST SEE THIS
PATTERN ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:04:36.00\00:04:38.24
YOU KNOW, THE NEW
JERUSALEM COMES DOWN AS A BRIDE.
00:04:38.27\00:04:42.58
WELL, JACOB HAD THE WEDDING
AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF WORKING FOR
00:04:42.61\00:04:47.78
LABAN TO GET RACHEL.
YOU SEE WHERE JOSHUA -
00:04:47.82\00:04:52.05
HOW MANY TIMES DID
JOSHUA MARCH AROUND JERICHO?
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.02
>>SEVEN. >>SEVEN TIMES - YOU'RE
00:04:54.06\00:04:55.86
WRONG - THIRTEEN TIMES.
(LAUGHTER) EVERYONE SAYS THAT -
00:04:55.89\00:05:00.23
ONE TIME FOR SIX DAYS AND
THEN, AFTER THE SIX DAYS, ON THE
00:05:00.26\00:05:06.23
SEVENTH DAY, THEY MARCHED
AROUND IT SEVEN TIMES, BLEW THE
00:05:06.27\00:05:08.54
TRUMPETS, AND TOOK
THE CITY. AFTER SIX DAYS
00:05:08.57\00:05:11.37
THEY TOOK THE CITY. YOU
COULD HAVE A HEBREW SERVANT
00:05:11.41\00:05:14.91
FOR SIX YEARS -
SEVENTH YEAR HE WENT FREE.
00:05:14.94\00:05:18.81
THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS PROMISED
HIS DISCIPLES, 'HEREAFTER SOME
00:05:18.85\00:05:22.62
OF YOU WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH
BEFORE YOU SEE THE KINGDOM OF
00:05:22.65\00:05:25.19
GOD COME WITH POWER.'
THIS IS MARK CHAPTER 9.
00:05:25.22\00:05:29.76
IT SAYS AFTER SIX DAYS HE TOOK
THEM UP AND THEY HAD A MINIATURE
00:05:29.79\00:05:33.53
PICTURE OF THE SECOND COMING.
YOU CAN READ WHERE IT SAYS,
00:05:33.56\00:05:37.20
'MOSES AND THE ELDERS WAITED
AT THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN FOR
00:05:37.23\00:05:40.37
SIX DAYS WHILE THE GLORY OF GOD
COVERED THE MOUNTAIN AND AFTER
00:05:40.40\00:05:42.97
SIX DAYS HE CALLED MOSES UP.'
YOU COULD SOW YOUR LAND FOR SIX
00:05:43.00\00:05:47.61
YEARS - THE SEVENTH
YEAR YOU WOULD LET IT REST.
00:05:47.64\00:05:51.11
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT JESUS
IS THE SOWER, THE WORD OF GOD IS
00:05:51.15\00:05:53.65
THE SEED. FOR
6,000 YEARS GOD HAS BEEN
00:05:53.68\00:05:56.18
SOWING THE GOSPEL SEED AND THEN
JESUS IS GOING TO COME AND THE
00:05:56.22\00:06:00.29
CONDITION OF THE WORLD
IS GOING TO BE DESOLATE.
00:06:00.32\00:06:02.69
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WERE CARRIED OFF TO BABYLON, THE
00:06:02.72\00:06:05.09
BIBLE SAYS THAT 70 YEARS THEY
WERE IN BABYLON, THE LAND KEPT
00:06:05.13\00:06:08.53
SABBATH - IT WAS
RESTING WHILE IT WAS DESOLATE.
00:06:08.56\00:06:12.80
DURING THE 1,000 YEARS OF THE
MILLENNIUM THE EARTH IS DESOLATE
00:06:12.83\00:06:16.07
- IT'S KEEPING SABBATH -
AND SO, I COULD GO ON AND ON.
00:06:16.10\00:06:18.41
KING JOASH WAS HIDDEN IN THE
TEMPLE OF THE LORD - THE SON OF
00:06:18.44\00:06:22.11
DAVID - FROM THIS WICKED QUEEN
WHILE SHE RULED OVER THE LAND
00:06:22.14\00:06:25.18
SIX YEARS. AT THE
END OF SIX YEARS THE SON
00:06:25.21\00:06:31.09
OF DAVID - THE KING -
CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE.
00:06:31.12\00:06:33.05
WHERE'S OUR KING RIGHT NOW?
WHERE'S JESUS, THE SON OF DAVID?
00:06:33.09\00:06:37.23
IS HE IN THE TEMPLE OF
THE LORD AS OUR HIGH PRIEST?
00:06:37.26\00:06:39.56
IS HE GOING TO
COME OUT OF THAT TEMPLE?
00:06:39.59\00:06:41.00
IS MICHAEL GOING
TO STAND UP? >>YES.
00:06:41.03\00:06:42.83
>> JOASH CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE,
THEY BLEW THE TRUMPET - WILL THE
00:06:42.86\00:06:46.50
TRUMPETS BLOW WHEN
JESUS COMES? >>AMEN.
00:06:46.53\00:06:48.64
>>THE PEOPLE REJOICED - WILL
THERE BE REJOICING WHEN JESUS
00:06:48.67\00:06:50.87
COMES? >>AMEN.
00:06:50.91\00:06:52.34
>>THE WICKED WERE SLAIN - I'M
TALKING ABOUT THE STORY OF JOASH
00:06:52.37\00:06:55.71
- WILL THERE BE WICKED
SLAIN WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:06:55.74\00:06:58.65
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THEN THERE
WAS PEACE - WILL THERE BE A
00:06:58.68\00:07:01.68
KINGDOM OF PEACE
AFTER JESUS COMES?
00:07:01.72\00:07:03.45
ALL THESE STORIES IN THE
BIBLE ARE ALLEGORIES TELLING US
00:07:03.49\00:07:06.62
SOMETHING ABOUT JESUS' COMING.
IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST FOREVER.
00:07:06.65\00:07:10.59
THE GREAT CLIMAX OF THE WORLD'S
HISTORY IS GOING TO BE WHEN
00:07:10.63\00:07:13.63
CHRIST COMES AND HE
SETS EVERYTHING RIGHT.
00:07:13.66\00:07:16.93
AND SO THEN, OF COURSE, THEY
LIVE AND REIGN WITH JESUS 1,000
00:07:16.97\00:07:20.34
YEARS. YOU READ IN
REVELATION 20 - OH,
00:07:20.37\00:07:22.40
ONE MORE THING I JUST THOUGHT
ABOUT - WHAT DID GOD SAY TO ADAM
00:07:22.44\00:07:25.51
AND EVE, IF THEY DISOBEYED
IN THE GARDEN, IF THEY ATE
00:07:25.54\00:07:28.71
THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT? HE
SAID, "FOR IN THE DAY THAT
00:07:28.74\00:07:32.58
YOU EAT OF IT YOU
SHALL SURELY DIE."
00:07:32.61\00:07:35.52
DID ADAM AND EVE DROP DEAD AS
SOON AS THEY ATE THE FORBIDDEN
00:07:35.55\00:07:38.22
FRUIT? >>NO.
00:07:38.25\00:07:39.65
>>NO? THEY PROBABLY
DIED, SPIRITUALLY, RIGHT AWAY.
00:07:39.69\00:07:42.89
SOMETHING HAPPENED.
THEIR LIGHT WENT OUT BECAUSE
00:07:42.92\00:07:44.53
THEY SAW THEIR NAKEDNESS.
BUT IF A DAY WITH THE LORD IS
00:07:44.56\00:07:49.26
LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS,
HOW LONG DID ADAM LIVE? 930.
00:07:49.30\00:07:55.27
'IN THE DAY YOU EAT YOU WILL
DIE.' I MEAN, IF GOD MAKES YOU
00:07:55.30\00:07:58.27
AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE
FOREVER, AND YOU DIE WITHIN THE
00:07:58.31\00:07:59.87
FIRST THOUSAND
YEARS, YOU'RE DEVASTATED.
00:07:59.91\00:08:02.98
YOU AND I LIVE THREE SCORE AND
TEN OR A FEW MORE, BUT BACK THEN
00:08:03.01\00:08:07.35
THEY LIVED ALMOST A MILLENNIA
BUT NOBODY MADE IT OVER
00:08:07.38\00:08:10.42
A THOUSAND EXCEPT ONE PERSON.
ENOCH. EVERYONE ELSE, EVEN
00:08:10.45\00:08:16.96
METHUSELAH, 969 YEARS. 'IN
THE DAY YOU EAT THEREOF YOU WILL
00:08:16.99\00:08:19.89
DIE.' SO OUR
STUDY TODAY IS TALKING
00:08:19.93\00:08:23.57
ABOUT WHEN THE KING RETURNS.
AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
00:08:23.60\00:08:28.00
SOME OF THE
SIGNS OF CHRIST COMING.
00:08:28.04\00:08:29.47
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
DATE FOR THE LORD'S RETURN, BUT
00:08:29.50\00:08:34.18
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE
00:08:34.21\00:08:37.38
CHRISTIAN WORLD REGARDING HOW
JESUS IS COMING BACK, BECAUSE
00:08:37.41\00:08:40.55
THAT IS GOING TO SET MANY
PEOPLE UP FOR A MAJOR DECEPTION.
00:08:40.58\00:08:44.82
AND SO, WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT.
00:08:44.85\00:08:46.62
FIRST QUESTION: WHO IS THE KING
THAT WILL SOON EMERGE FROM THE
00:08:46.65\00:08:51.26
TEMPLE IN HEAVEN? TALKED
ABOUT WHEN JOASH CAME OUT
00:08:51.29\00:08:54.40
OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
AND THEY BLEW THE TRUMPET.
00:08:54.46\00:08:56.63
BY THE WAY, THAT WAS JUST
BEFORE THE SABBATH BEGAN, AT THE
00:08:56.67\00:09:00.07
CHANGING OF THE GUARD.
JUST BEFORE THE MILLENNIAL
00:09:00.10\00:09:02.57
SABBATH JESUS IS GOING
TO COME OUT OF THE TEMPLE -
00:09:02.60\00:09:05.17
>>AMEN. >>AND
THERE'LL BE A GREAT TIME
00:09:05.21\00:09:07.68
OF TROUBLE WHEN MICHAEL STANDS
UP. IT SAYS, "I LOOKED, AND
00:09:07.71\00:09:11.51
BEHOLD, A WHITE CLOUD, AND ON
THE CLOUD SAT ONE LIKE THE SON
00:09:11.55\00:09:14.78
OF MAN, HAVING ON HIS HEAD A
GOLDEN CROWN," - JESUS IS THAT
00:09:14.82\00:09:20.09
SON OF MAN WHO IS GOING TO COME.
SECOND QUESTION: WILL JESUS
00:09:20.12\00:09:24.26
COME QUIETLY WHEN HE
COMES? NOW THIS IS WHERE A LOT
00:09:24.29\00:09:27.96
OF PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND.
THEY THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
00:09:28.00\00:09:31.13
A SECRET AND THE BIBLE TELLS
US THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS IS
00:09:31.17\00:09:36.64
PROBABLY THE
NOISIEST EVENT IN THE BIBLE.
00:09:36.67\00:09:40.31
JUST LOOK AT SOME OF THE VERSES
THAT TALK ABOUT THIS: "THE LORD
00:09:40.34\00:09:43.35
HIMSELF" - 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16
- "SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
00:09:43.38\00:09:47.25
WITH A" - WHAT? - "A SHOUT," -
AND THEN IT GOES ON - "WITH THE
00:09:47.28\00:09:52.05
VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL," -
AND THE TRUMP, ANOTHER AUDIBLE
00:09:52.09\00:09:54.92
THING. JEREMIAH
25:30, SPEAKING OF THE
00:09:54.96\00:09:58.03
LORD COMING, IT SAYS, "THE
LORD WILL ROAR FROM ON HIGH, AND
00:09:58.06\00:10:02.80
UTTER HIS VOICE FROM HIS HOLY
HABITATION." - THERE'S GOING TO
00:10:02.83\00:10:05.60
BE A ROAR WHEN THE LORD COMES -
"HE WILL MIGHTILY ROAR UPON HIS
00:10:05.63\00:10:09.10
HABITATION. HE
WILL GIVE A SHOUT."
00:10:09.14\00:10:12.07
AGAIN YOU READ - PSALM 50, VERSE
3 - IS THE LORD COMING QUIETLY?
00:10:12.11\00:10:15.94
"OUR GOD SHALL COME, AND SHALL
NOT KEEP SILENT; ...AND IT SHALL
00:10:15.98\00:10:21.02
BE VERY
TEMPESTUOUS ROUND ABOUT HIM."
00:10:21.05\00:10:23.59
THERE'S GOING TO BE GLORY
AND THE HEAVENS ARE GOING TO BE
00:10:23.62\00:10:25.29
CRASHING - THE BIBLE SAYS THE
HEAVENS ARE GOING TO DEPART AS A
00:10:25.32\00:10:28.09
SCROLL, THE SUN'LL GO DARK,
THE MOON'LL TURN TO BLOOD, THE
00:10:28.12\00:10:30.96
STARS'LL FALL FROM HEAVEN, THE
EARTH IS GOING TO REEL TO AND
00:10:30.99\00:10:34.56
FRO LIKE A DRUNKEN MAN, THE
ISLANDS WILL BE SWALLOWED UP,
00:10:34.60\00:10:38.53
HAILSTONES ARE GOING TO BE
FALLING. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
00:10:38.57\00:10:41.40
HAVE TO TEXT SOMEBODY
AND SAY, 'DID YOU CATCH THAT?
00:10:41.44\00:10:43.44
I THINK JESUS CAME YESTERDAY.'
(LAUGHTER) AND YET, SOME PEOPLE
00:10:43.47\00:10:47.81
BELIEVE A RELATIVELY NEW
SCENARIO ABOUT THE SECOND
00:10:47.84\00:10:54.52
COMING. IT'S CALLED
THE SECRET RAPTURE .
00:10:54.55\00:10:57.45
NOW, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE
LEFT BEHIND BOOKS AND THEY'VE
00:10:57.49\00:11:00.36
MADE AT LEAST TWO
LEFT BEHIND MOVIES.
00:11:00.39\00:11:02.89
AND THIS WAS VIRTUALLY AN
UNKNOWN TEACHING 200 YEARS AGO.
00:11:02.92\00:11:09.76
IT SLOWLY EVOLVED OUT OF THE
JESUIT THEOLOGIAN'S CHRONOLOGY,
00:11:10.27\00:11:16.91
FRANCISCO RIBERA,
AND ANOTHER MAN, ESCOBAR,
00:11:16.94\00:11:21.54
AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
00:11:21.58\00:11:23.75
A COUNTER-REFORMATION
/INTERPRETATION
00:11:23.78\00:11:25.71
OF PROPHECY TO TRY TO FIGHT
WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF
00:11:25.75\00:11:28.45
THE GREAT REFORMERS, SO
THEY CONCOCTED THIS VIEW.
00:11:28.48\00:11:31.45
IT DIDN'T REALLY TAKE OFF
UNTIL A MAN NAMED SCOFIELD CAME
00:11:31.49\00:11:34.82
ALONG. ANY OF YOU EVER
SEEN THE SCOFIELD BIBLE?
00:11:34.86\00:11:38.03
IT'S GOT A LOT OF
GOOD THINGS IN IT.
00:11:38.06\00:11:40.00
BUT HE EMBRACED RIBERA'S
THEOLOGY ABOUT THE SECRET
00:11:40.03\00:11:43.87
RAPTURE AND THE
LEFT BEHIND THEOLOGY.
00:11:43.90\00:11:48.70
ANOTHER MAN, NAMED HAL LINDSEY,
THEN, HE PICKED UP THE SCOFIELD
00:11:48.74\00:11:53.01
BIBLE, HE PUT IT IN HIS BOOK
CALLED THE LATE, GREAT, PLANET
00:11:53.04\00:11:55.51
EARTH AND THEN THAT WAS PICKED
UP BY SOME OTHER CHARISMATICS
00:11:55.54\00:11:58.98
AND TRINITY BROADCASTING AND
THEN THEY BEGAN TO TEACH THIS
00:11:59.01\00:12:02.45
AND IT WENT FROM ALMOST
UNKNOWN TO THE PROMINENT VIEW.
00:12:02.48\00:12:05.95
NOW THE IDEA - THE WORD
'RAPTURE' MEANS 'TO BE CARRIED
00:12:05.99\00:12:08.59
AWAY WITH POWER' - AND THAT'S
BIBLICAL - WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP TO
00:12:08.62\00:12:10.93
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR -
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RAPTURE.
00:12:10.96\00:12:13.09
THE IDEA THAT IT'S A SECRET
RAPTURE AND THE IDEA THAT GOD
00:12:13.13\00:12:17.53
TAKES US OUT OF THE WORLD BEFORE
THERE'S ANY TRIBULATION - AND
00:12:17.57\00:12:20.90
THEN THERE'S SEVEN YEARS OF
TRIBULATION HERE ON EARTH WHERE
00:12:20.94\00:12:23.74
THE ANTICHRIST DOES EVERYTHING
DASTARDLY HE'S GOING TO DO
00:12:23.77\00:12:26.88
DURING THAT TRIBULATION.
IT JUST IS - IT'S PREPARING
00:12:26.91\00:12:30.98
PEOPLE TO BE DECEIVED.
00:12:31.01\00:12:32.85
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT
00:12:34.08\00:12:36.38
WE'LL RETURN FOR
THE REST OF TODAY'S

YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE
00:12:37.99\00:12:40.82
PROPHETIC SIGNS OF CHRIST'S
RETURN AND JUST HOW CLOSE
00:12:40.86\00:12:44.33
WE REALLY ARE TO THE
MOST EXTRAORDINARY COSMIC
00:12:44.36\00:12:47.23
EVENT IN HISTORY? WILL
WE BE SUDDENLY AND SECRETLY
00:12:47.30\00:12:50.87
RAPTURED AS MILLIONS ARE LEFT
BEHIND? OR WILL JESUS' RETURN BE
00:12:50.90\00:12:55.60
AS LOUD AND BRIGHT AS
LIGHTNING, FROM SKY TO SKY?
00:12:55.64\00:12:59.74
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A MILLION
DIFFERENT THEORIES OUT THERE,
00:12:59.77\00:13:01.94
BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE BIBLE TRUTH
AND JESUS PROMISES, IF WE SEEK,

00:13:39.55\00:13:42.32
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:42.35\00:13:45.15
>>I'VE MET PEOPLE - THEY THINK
THAT, 'WELL, IF I'M NOT READY
00:13:46.72\00:13:49.82
FOR THE SECRET RAPTURE, THEN
I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
00:13:49.86\00:13:53.16
TRIBULATION BUT I'LL GET ANOTHER
CHANCE SEVEN YEARS LATER.' AND
00:13:53.19\00:13:57.40
I'VE MET MEN, THEY SAY, 'YEAH,
MY WIFE, SHE'S TELLING ME SHE'S
00:13:57.43\00:14:00.04
GOING TO DISAPPEAR AND I'LL
BE LEFT BEHIND.' (LAUGHTER) 'SHE
00:14:00.07\00:14:03.64
SAID BUT THEN IF I REPENT
AT LEAST, DURING THE SEVEN-YEAR
00:14:03.67\00:14:06.71
TRIBULATION, I DO
HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE.'
00:14:06.74\00:14:09.34
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING,
00:14:09.38\00:14:10.95
'WELL, I THINK I'LL JUST - I'LL
ENJOY THE WORLD AND IF I DO SEE
00:14:10.98\00:14:13.98
EVERYONE START DISAPPEARING,
THEN I'LL GET SERIOUS AND
00:14:14.02\00:14:15.78
I'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
TRIBULATION, BUT AT LEAST I'LL
00:14:15.82\00:14:18.45
BE SAVED.' WELL, FRIENDS,
THE DEVIL IS GIVING PEOPLE THE
00:14:18.49\00:14:22.16
IDEA THERE'S A SECOND CHANCE.
THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE.
00:14:22.19\00:14:25.26
WHEN JESUS COMES,
THAT'S IT. >>AMEN.
00:14:25.29\00:14:27.73
>>AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO BELIEVE
THE SAFE THING, BELIEVE WHAT I
00:14:27.76\00:14:29.70
BELIEVE, BECAUSE IF YOU BELIEVE
LIKE I BELIEVE AND I'M WRONG,
00:14:29.73\00:14:33.30
WELL AT LEAST YOU WERE
READY, YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:14:33.34\00:14:36.20
(LAUGHTER) BUT I THINK THERE'S A
LOT OF SCRIPTURE SO THAT WE KNOW
00:14:36.24\00:14:39.31
- >>AMEN. >>IT'S NOT GOING TO
00:14:39.34\00:14:41.38
BE A SECRET RAPTURE. AND
THEN SOMEONE'LL SAY, 'WELL,
00:14:41.41\00:14:43.91
PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T IT
SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT HE'S
00:14:43.95\00:14:46.38
COMING LIKE A THIEF?
THAT'S RIGHT, IT DOES
00:14:46.41\00:14:48.88
- LIKE A THIEF - SEE? SECRET
RAPTURE. HE'S COMING LIKE A
00:14:48.92\00:14:51.09
THIEF.' YOU TELL ME, AS I READ
THIS VERSE, IF IT SOUNDS LIKE
00:14:51.12\00:14:54.59
LIFE GOES ON SEVEN MORE YEARS
AFTER JESUS COMES LIKE A THIEF.
00:14:54.62\00:14:58.13
AND IT SAYS, "THE DAY OF THE
LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE
00:14:58.16\00:15:01.50
NIGHT, IN WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL
PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE,
00:15:01.53\00:15:05.40
AND THE ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH
FERVENT HEAT; BOTH THE EARTH AND
00:15:05.43\00:15:09.24
THE WORKS THAT ARE IN
IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:15:09.27\00:15:12.51
SO WHEN THE LORD COMES LIKE A
THIEF, WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE ON
00:15:12.54\00:15:14.74
EARTH? DOES
LIFE GO ON OR ARE THE
00:15:14.78\00:15:17.65
ELEMENTS MELTING WITH FERVENT
HEAT WHEN HE COMES LIKE A THIEF?
00:15:17.68\00:15:21.52
WHY DID HE SAY HE'S
COMING LIKE A THIEF?
00:15:21.55\00:15:24.25
BECAUSE WHEN IT
HAPPENS, IT'S A SURPRISE.
00:15:24.29\00:15:27.36
YOU EVER HAVE A
THIEF COME TO YOUR HOUSE?
00:15:27.39\00:15:29.06
>>YES. >>I USED TO BE A THIEF.
00:15:29.09\00:15:31.83
(LAUGHTER) I DID, BEFORE I WAS
A CHRISTIAN. YOU KNOW, I'M BORN
00:15:31.86\00:15:35.60
AGAIN NOW SO YOU CAN TRUST ME.
(LAUGHTER) I WOULD BREAK INTO
00:15:35.63\00:15:38.93
PEOPLE'S HOUSES
- I'D STEAL THINGS.
00:15:38.97\00:15:40.74
I NEVER SENT THEM A NOTICE
AND SAID, 'LOOK, I'M GOING TO BE
00:15:40.77\00:15:42.60
HERE,' - (LAUGHTER) - AND SO, IT
WAS A SURPRISE WHEN IT HAPPENED,
00:15:42.64\00:15:47.18
BUT THEY KNEW AFTER I CAME.
AND SO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S
00:15:47.21\00:15:51.35
GOING TO BE A SECRET RAPTURE.
WHAT OTHER PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
00:15:51.38\00:15:54.52
WILL ACCOMPANY JESUS' RETURN?
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 16,
00:15:54.55\00:15:58.99
VERSE 18, 'THERE WAS A GREAT
EARTHQUAKE SUCH AS WAS NOT UPON
00:15:59.02\00:16:03.76
THE EARTH SINCE MEN WERE ON THE
EARTH, SO MIGHTY AN EARTHQUAKE
00:16:03.79\00:16:07.66
AND SO GREAT.' AND SO EVERYTHING
IS SHAKING. ISLANDS ARE BEING
00:16:07.66\00:16:12.00
SWALLOWED UP. WHAT ELSE
HAPPENS WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:16:12.03\00:16:15.44
WHO WILL SEE
HIM WHEN HE RETURNS?
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.27
IS IT JUST A FEW PEOPLE
WHO ARE READY FOR THE RAPTURE?
00:16:17.31\00:16:19.74
OR DOES THE BIBLE SAY IN MATTHEW
24, VERSE 30, "AND THEN SHALL
00:16:19.77\00:16:23.85
APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF
MAN IN THE HEAVENS AND THEN ALL
00:16:23.88\00:16:27.75
THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH WILL
MOURN AND THEY WILL SEE THE SON
00:16:27.78\00:16:32.12
OF MAN COMING." THEY'LL WHAT?
00:16:32.15\00:16:33.72
THEY'LL SEE THE SON OF MAN
COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN
00:16:33.76\00:16:36.32
WITH POWER AND
GREAT GLORY. >>AMEN.
00:16:36.36\00:16:38.26
>>"BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH THE
CLOUDS," REVELATION 1, VERSE 7,
00:16:38.29\00:16:41.96
"AND EVERY EYE
WILL SEE HIM." >>AMEN.
00:16:42.00\00:16:44.07
>>SOMEBODY ALWAYS WRITES IN THE
QUESTION, 'PASTOR DOUG, HOW CAN
00:16:44.10\00:16:48.50
EVERY EYE SEE HIM
WHEN THE WORLD IS ROUND?'
00:16:48.54\00:16:50.44
(LAUGHTER) HE'S NOT SAYING
THEY'RE GOING TO ALL SEE HIM
00:16:50.47\00:16:54.58
SIMULTANEOUSLY, HE MEANS
THAT DAY WHEN HE GOES AROUND THE
00:16:54.61\00:16:57.18
WORLD AND HE RAPTURES UP - KIND
OF VACUUMS UP THE REDEEMED AND
00:16:57.21\00:17:01.55
THERE'S DESTRUCTION AND
DEVASTATION BEHIND HIM AND THEN
00:17:01.58\00:17:04.75
HE GOES OFF - EVERYONE'S GOING
TO SEE HIM THAT DAY - THAT'S ALL
00:17:04.79\00:17:06.76
IT'S SAYING. >>AMEN.
00:17:06.79\00:17:08.16
>>IT DOESN'T SAY EVERYONE
SEES HIM SIMULTANEOUSLY.
00:17:08.19\00:17:10.46
AND SO,
EVERYONE'S GOING TO SEE HIM.
00:17:10.49\00:17:14.20
HOW WILL IT BE
WHEN JESUS COMES BACK?
00:17:14.23\00:17:15.90
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE LEFT IN
DOUBT. WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED TO
00:17:15.93\00:17:18.87
HEAVEN FROM THE MOUNT OF
OLIVES, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE
00:17:18.90\00:17:21.90
DISCIPLES WERE WATCHING THIS
AND THEY WERE GAZING UP INTO THE
00:17:21.94\00:17:25.24
HEAVENS LONGINGLY AS THEY
SAW JESUS, THEIR BELOVED LORD,
00:17:25.27\00:17:28.91
DRIFTING UP INTO
THE CLOUDS OUT OF SIGHT.
00:17:28.94\00:17:31.01
AND EVEN AFTER HE WAS GONE THEY
STOOD THERE AND THEY JUST STARED
00:17:31.05\00:17:33.45
UP INTO THE SKY.
SUDDENLY THEY GOT NUDGED BY TWO
00:17:33.48\00:17:35.72
ANGELS AT THEIR SIDE THAT SAID,
'MEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU
00:17:35.75\00:17:38.55
STAND HERE GAZING
UP INTO THE HEAVENS?'
00:17:38.59\00:17:40.89
- NOTICE - 'THIS SAME JESUS WILL
COME IN THE WAY THAT HE LEFT.'
00:17:40.92\00:17:46.16
HE'S COMING IN THE
SAME WAY THAT HE LEFT.
00:17:46.19\00:17:48.70
WAS HE REAL
WHEN HE LEFT? >>AMEN.
00:17:48.73\00:17:50.67
>>DID THEY SEE HIM
WHEN HE LEFT? >>YES.
00:17:50.70\00:17:52.83
>>WAS HE TALKING
TO THEM WHEN HE LEFT?
00:17:52.87\00:17:54.57
>>YES. >>YEAH, HE SAID, 'GO
00:17:54.60\00:17:56.20
UNTO ALL THE WORLD.
BEHOLD I'M WITH YOU ALWAYS.'
00:17:56.24\00:17:58.91
AS HE ASCENDED UP TO
HEAVEN. HE'S A REAL PERSON.
00:17:58.94\00:18:03.28
HE'S COMING BACK THE SAME WAY
THAT HE LEFT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO
00:18:03.31\00:18:05.68
WORRY ABOUT IT BEING - YOU KNOW,
IT'S - THE REASON THAT THIS IS
00:18:05.71\00:18:10.05
SO MADDENING FOR ME, AS A
PASTOR, IS WAS THE CHURCH READY
00:18:10.09\00:18:17.73
WHEN JESUS CAME
THE FIRST TIME? >>NO.
00:18:17.76\00:18:19.96
>>THE FIRST TIME, THEY WANTED
HIM TO COME LIKE A LION - COME
00:18:20.00\00:18:24.73
AND CONQUER THE ROMANS - TO COME
AND BLOW A TRUMPET, TO SHAKE THE
00:18:24.77\00:18:27.70
WORLD AND SET ISRAEL
UP AS THE EARTHLY KING.
00:18:27.74\00:18:31.14
BUT HE CAME QUIETLY LIKE A
LAMB AND THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT IT.
00:18:31.17\00:18:35.31
THEY WERE NOT READY BECAUSE
THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE
00:18:35.34\00:18:37.81
PROPHECIES. NOW,
JESUS IS GETTING READY TO
00:18:37.85\00:18:40.18
COME LIKE A LION WITH A TRUMPET
- AS A KING - AND THE CHURCH
00:18:40.22\00:18:44.42
IS SAYING, 'NO, HE'S COMING
QUIETLY' - (LAUGHTER) - 'THIS
00:18:44.45\00:18:47.16
TIME.' SEE, THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS
WORKING TO GET THE CHURCH TO
00:18:47.19\00:18:51.59
MISUNDERSTAND THE
PROPHECIES SO THEY'RE NOT READY.
00:18:51.63\00:18:54.30
WERE THEY READY WHEN
HE CAME THE FIRST TIME?
00:18:54.36\00:18:55.63
>>NO. >>NO.
00:18:55.66\00:18:57.87
AND MANY WILL PERISH
BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T READY.
00:18:57.90\00:19:00.57
SO THE SAME THING'S HAPPENING.
WHO WILL BE WITH JESUS WHEN
00:19:00.60\00:19:03.30
HE COMES IN THE
CLOUDS? HE'S NOT COMING ALONE.
00:19:03.34\00:19:05.87
MATTHEW 25, VERSE 31, "WHEN
THE SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS
00:19:05.91\00:19:10.95
GLORY AND ALL"
- HOW MANY? >>ALL.
00:19:10.98\00:19:13.92
>>"ALL OF THE
HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM."
00:19:13.95\00:19:16.89
SO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN,
DURING THE RESURRECTION, ONE
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.96
ANGEL CAME AND ROLLED AWAY THE
STONE AND THE GUARDS - THE ROMAN
00:19:20.99\00:19:24.49
GUARDS WHO WERE THERE, THEY FELL
DOWN LIKE DEAD MEN AND FLED IN
00:19:24.53\00:19:28.23
TERROR FROM THE
GLORY OF ONE ANGEL.
00:19:28.26\00:19:31.33
ONE ANGEL OF THE LORD WENT
THROUGH THE SYRIAN CAMP AND
00:19:31.37\00:19:33.77
185,000 SOLDIERS
WERE SLAIN - ONE ANGEL.
00:19:33.80\00:19:37.87
WHEN THE LORD COMES WITH ALL THE
ANGELS NOBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO
00:19:37.91\00:19:43.95
SAY, 'DID YOU SEE
THE PAPER YESTERDAY?'
00:19:43.98\00:19:45.71
- (LAUGHTER) - 'I THINK JESUS
CAME - AND IT WAS BRIGHT.' NO,
00:19:45.75\00:19:52.55
EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
WHAT WILL THE BRIGHTNESS OF
00:19:52.59\00:19:54.49
JESUS' COMING DO
TO THE LIVING WICKED?
00:19:54.52\00:19:58.13
2 THESSALONIANS 1:7, "WHEN
THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED
00:19:58.16\00:20:02.30
FROM HEAVEN AND HIS MIGHTY
ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING
00:20:02.33\00:20:06.33
VENGEANCE ON THEM
THAT KNOW NOT GOD."
00:20:06.37\00:20:09.30
DO YOU KNOW HIM? ETERNAL LIFE IS
00:20:09.34\00:20:11.31
TO KNOW THE LORD. HE'LL
SAY TO THE LOST, 'I DON'T
00:20:11.34\00:20:13.58
KNOW YOU.' ARE YOU
TAKING TIME TO GET TO
00:20:13.61\00:20:16.14
KNOW HIM? BECAUSE HE'S COMING.
00:20:16.18\00:20:18.05
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY - 2
THESSALONIANS 2:8 - "THEN SHALL
00:20:18.08\00:20:21.95
THAT WICKED ONE BE REVEALED WHOM
THE LORD SHALL CONSUME WITH THE
00:20:21.98\00:20:24.95
SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY
WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
00:20:24.99\00:20:28.52
COMING." - WHEN HE
COMES - THE BRIGHTNESS
00:20:28.56\00:20:30.03
OF HIS COMING, IT'S
GOING TO CONSUME THE WICKED.
00:20:30.06\00:20:33.26
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD AT JESUS'
00:20:33.29\00:20:36.63
COMING? THIS IS GOOD
NEWS. THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEAD IN
00:20:36.67\00:20:41.40
CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. >>AMEN.
00:20:41.44\00:20:44.07
>>MANY OF THOSE THAT SLEEP
IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL
00:20:44.11\00:20:46.31
AWAKE; SOME TO EVERLASTING LIFE
- THAT'S THE DEAD IN CHRIST.
00:20:46.34\00:20:49.68
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 20, IT SAYS, "THIS IS
00:20:49.71\00:20:52.51
THE FIRST RESURRECTION" -
AND WHEREVER YOU'VE GOT A FIRST
00:20:52.55\00:20:55.08
ANYTHING, YOU'VE
GOT A WHAT? >>SECOND.
00:20:55.12\00:20:57.15
>>A SECOND, AT LEAST.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN
00:20:57.19\00:20:59.35
THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
AT THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS TO
00:20:59.39\00:21:03.16
THE LIVING AND THE
RESURRECTED SAINTS?
00:21:03.19\00:21:05.83
ALL THAT ARE SAVED
AND THE LIVING SAINTS?
00:21:05.86\00:21:08.36
IT SAYS THERE'S A TRANSFORMATION
THAT TAKES PLACE TO THEIR BODIES
00:21:08.40\00:21:11.73
- "THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED
INCORRUPTIBLE AND WE WHO ARE
00:21:11.77\00:21:15.77
ALIVE WILL BE CHANGED.
FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE" - THESE
00:21:15.80\00:21:19.07
BODIES THAT GET OLD AND WRINKLED
AND DECREPIT - "THEY'LL PUT ON
00:21:19.11\00:21:22.08
IMMORTALITY" - THEY'LL PUT
ON INCORRUPTION - "THIS MORTAL
00:21:22.11\00:21:24.68
WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY."
WE'LL BE CHANGED IN THE BLINK
00:21:24.71\00:21:29.32
OF AN EYE - THOSE
OF US WHO ARE ALIVE.
00:21:29.35\00:21:32.59
AND IT SAYS WE ARE THEN CAUGHT
UP TO MEET THEM IN THE AIR.
00:21:32.62\00:21:36.36
SO, AGAIN, IS THIS
SOUNDING LIKE A SECRET?
00:21:36.39\00:21:39.93
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS TELLING
US THAT IT'S A VERY REAL,
00:21:39.96\00:21:44.27
OBVIOUS, KNOWN EVENT. >>AMEN.
00:21:44.30\00:21:46.84
>>AND YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THE
STORIES - 'YEAH, PLANES'LL FALL
00:21:46.87\00:21:49.27
OUT OF THE SKY BECAUSE THE
PILOTS WERE CHRISTIANS AND NOW
00:21:49.30\00:21:52.61
THERE'S NOBODY TO FLY. AND
CARS JUST BE CRASHING ON THE
00:21:52.64\00:21:56.31
STREET BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS
DISAPPEARED AND THEIR CLOTHES'LL
00:21:56.34\00:21:59.15
BE IN THE
DRIVER'S SEAT, YOU KNOW?
00:21:59.18\00:22:00.88
AND YOU'LL WAKE UP AND LO AND
BEHOLD YOUR HUSBAND'S GONE - HIS
00:22:00.92\00:22:04.19
CLOTHES ARE STILL
THERE BUT HE'S GONE.
00:22:04.22\00:22:06.65
AND YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY GET THAT?
00:22:06.69\00:22:11.13
JESUS SAID, SPEAKING OF THE
SECOND COMING, HE SAID, 'TWO
00:22:11.16\00:22:15.96
WOMEN'LL BE GRINDING AT THE
MILL, ONE IS TAKEN, ONE IS LEFT.
00:22:16.00\00:22:19.37
TWO MEN'LL BE WORKING IN
THE FIELD, ONE IS TAKEN, ONE IS
00:22:19.40\00:22:21.90
LEFT.' AND THEN LUKE ADDS
A THIRD SCENARIO - TWO MEN
00:22:21.94\00:22:25.04
SLEEPING IN A BED,
ONE IS TAKEN, ONE IS LEFT.
00:22:25.07\00:22:28.54
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHAT DOES A WOMAN REPRESENT
00:22:28.58\00:22:30.95
IN BIBLE PROPHECY? >>A CHURCH.
00:22:30.98\00:22:33.05
>>A CHURCH. HOW MANY
KINDS OF CHURCHES ARE THERE?
00:22:33.08\00:22:35.55
>>TWO.
>>THERE'S REALLY ONLY TWO.
00:22:35.58\00:22:37.59
YOU GO TO REVELATION 20, THERE'S
TWO WOMEN - REVELATION 17 AND
00:22:37.62\00:22:41.09
REVELATION 12, YOU'VE GOT
TRUE AND YOU'VE GOT FALSE.
00:22:41.12\00:22:44.86
TWO DIFFERENT GOSPELS -
WHAT ARE THE WOMEN DOING?
00:22:44.89\00:22:47.23
THEY'RE GRINDING THE GRAIN IT
SAYS - WORKING WITH THE WORD -
00:22:47.30\00:22:51.00
ONE IS TRUE, ONE IS FALSE.
OUTWARDLY THEY LOOK THE SAME;
00:22:51.03\00:22:54.07
ONE IS READY, ONE IS
NOT. AND IT SAYS THERE ARE TWO
00:22:54.10\00:22:56.94
MEN WORKING IN THE
FIELD. WHAT'S THE FIELD?
00:22:56.97\00:22:58.57
THE FIELD IS THE PLACE WHERE
THE MISSIONARIES ARE WORKING -
00:22:58.61\00:23:00.61
YOU'RE SOWING THE
SEED - YOU'RE HARVESTING.
00:23:00.64\00:23:03.95
TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE
DOING MISSIONARY WORK - TRUE AND
00:23:03.98\00:23:06.28
FALSE. JESUS SAID THERE'S TWO
00:23:06.31\00:23:07.95
MASTERS - THERE'S TWO ROADS.
YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS, IT'S
00:23:07.98\00:23:12.02
EITHER YOU'RE WITH ME OR
AGAINST ME. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:23:12.05\00:23:16.02
AND THEN HE SAID 'TWO
MEN SLEEPING IN A BED'.
00:23:16.06\00:23:17.96
WHAT DOES SLEEP
REPRESENT? >>DEATH.
00:23:17.99\00:23:20.40
>>DEATH. HOW MANY KINDS
OF DEAD PEOPLE RIGHT NOW?
00:23:20.43\00:23:23.20
TWO - SAVED AND
LOST. FIRST RESURRECTION,
00:23:23.23\00:23:26.77
SECOND RESURRECTION. AND
WHAT REALLY IS INTERESTING -
00:23:26.80\00:23:31.14
HE SAID SOME ARE
TAKEN, SOME ARE LEFT.
00:23:31.17\00:23:33.24
THEY OFTEN ASSUME THE ONES
TAKEN ARE TAKEN BY THE LORD, BUT
00:23:33.27\00:23:39.05
IN THE HEBREW MIND, WHENEVER
THEY DISOBEYED THEIR ENEMIES
00:23:39.08\00:23:42.72
CAME AND TOOK THEM AWAY
TO ASSYRIA, THEY TOOK THEM TO
00:23:42.75\00:23:46.82
EGYPT, THEY TOOK THEM TO
BABYLON - THEY'RE TAKEN AWAY.
00:23:46.86\00:23:49.99
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'THEY KNEW
NOT 'TIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK
00:23:50.03\00:23:52.56
THEM AWAY' - THE WICKED.
AND SO, BEING TAKEN AWAY MEANT
00:23:52.59\00:23:56.33
BEING TAKEN OUT OF THE PROMISED
LAND - OUT OF THE PLACE OF REST.
00:23:56.36\00:23:59.40
SO THEY'VE EVEN GOT
WHO'S TAKEN MIXED UP.
00:23:59.43\00:24:02.47
IT'S TALKING ABOUT TAKEN AWAY
- AND THEY SAY, 'WHERE ARE THEY
00:24:02.50\00:24:04.71
TAKEN, LORD?' HE
SAYS, 'WHEREVER THE VULTURES
00:24:04.74\00:24:07.88
- WHEREVER THE BODY IS,
THAT'S WHERE THE VULTURES ARE
00:24:07.91\00:24:09.98
GATHERED.' YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE TAKEN LIKE
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.41
THAT, DO YOU? (LAUGHTER)
AND SO THE CHURCH IS SO CONFUSED
00:24:11.45\00:24:15.35
ON THESE SCRIPTURES
ABOUT THE SECOND COMING.
00:24:15.38\00:24:18.42
WHAT WILL THE ANGELS DO AT
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS?
00:24:18.45\00:24:22.49
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WILL SEND
HIS ANGELS AND THEY WILL GATHER
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.86
TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
WINDS OF HEAVEN - THAT MEANS
00:24:25.89\00:24:29.20
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST - AND
THEY'LL BRING THEM TO THE LORD -
00:24:29.23\00:24:34.57
THEY'RE GOING TO BE CAUGHT
UP TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
00:24:34.60\00:24:36.60
NOW, SINCE WE'RE LIVING JUST
BEFORE THE SECOND COMING, HOW
00:24:36.64\00:24:40.74
SHOULD WE RELATE TO THIS
SOLEMN AND GLORIOUS EVENT?
00:24:40.78\00:24:46.11
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD A
PRESENTATION LIKE THIS BEFORE?
00:24:46.15\00:24:50.65
ABOUT THE SECOND
COMING? SURE YOU HAVE.
00:24:50.69\00:24:52.55
DID IT CHANGE YOU
FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
00:24:52.59\00:24:55.92
WHY DO WE TALK
ABOUT THE SECOND COMING?
00:24:55.96\00:24:59.73
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL,
WHEN HE COMES, HE COMES.
00:24:59.76\00:25:01.73
DON'T GET PREOCCUPIED WITH HIS
COMING.' WELL, PERSONALLY, I'M
00:25:01.76\00:25:05.57
WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST AND THAT
00:25:05.60\00:25:09.60
MEANS THAT WE GET EXCITED ABOUT
THE IMMINENT ADVENT OF JESUS.
00:25:09.64\00:25:15.14
>>AMEN! >>JESUS
HAS TOLD US TO GO INTO
00:25:15.18\00:25:17.65
ALL THE WORLD TO
TEACH AND TO BAPTIZE.
00:25:17.68\00:25:19.75
HE WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT
THIS WORLD HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT
00:25:19.78\00:25:22.62
OF TIME AND WE
NEED TO GET READY.
00:25:22.65\00:25:25.19
AND, IF NOTHING ELSE, YOUR LIFE
HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME AND
00:25:25.22\00:25:28.06
YOU NEED TO GET
READY FOR THE LORD FOR YOU.
00:25:28.09\00:25:30.89
AND SO, WE HAVE A MESSAGE, BUT
THIS WORLD IS NOT GOING TO LAST
00:25:30.93\00:25:33.66
FOREVER AND THAT ALSO TELLS
US ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
00:25:33.70\00:25:36.50
WOULDN'T IT BE TERRIBLE IF
THE SIN AND THE PAIN AND THE
00:25:36.53\00:25:39.57
SUFFERING WERE IMMORTALIZED?
JESUS COMING AGAIN IS GOOD
00:25:39.60\00:25:43.14
NEWS THAT IT'S ALL
GOING TO BE RESOLVED.

00:26:54.68\00:26:59.35
FOR MANY, THE BOOK OF
REVELATION IS BOTH FRIGHTENING
00:26:59.38\00:27:02.38
AND CONFUSING.
00:27:02.42\00:27:03.72
DOES THIS LAST BOOK OF THE
BIBLE REALLY PROVIDE INSIGHT FOR
00:27:03.75\00:27:07.19
THE FINAL DAYS?
00:27:07.22\00:27:08.52
OR IS IT NOTHING MORE THAN AN
OMINOUS BOOK OF DOOM AND GLOOM?
00:27:08.56\00:27:11.93
ON THE CONTRARY, REVELATION
IS, AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS,
00:27:11.96\00:27:16.03
