>>THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.40\00:00:04.90
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.93\00:00:06.90
>>ONE OF THE LOUDEST SOUNDS
THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD WAS THE
00:00:09.10\00:00:12.01
TERRIFIC VOLCANIC EXPLOSION
OF KRAKATOA IN SOUTHWESTERN
00:00:12.14\00:00:15.84
INDONESIA IN 1883. THE
BLAST WAS THE EQUIVALENT TO
00:00:15.94\00:00:20.62
ABOUT 100 MEGATONS OF TNT AND
COULD BE HEARD OVER 3,000 MILES
00:00:20.72\00:00:25.45
AWAY ON ISLANDS
IN THE INDIAN OCEAN.
00:00:25.59\00:00:28.19
MORE THAN 36,000 PEOPLE WERE
KILLED AND 165 COASTAL VILLAGES
00:00:28.22\00:00:33.33
DESTROYED, MOSTLY FROM
THE 120-FOOT HIGH TSUNAMI THAT
00:00:33.36\00:00:38.00
ROLLED IN AT OVER
300 MILES AN HOUR.
00:00:38.03\00:00:41.34
THIS DEVASTATED EVERYTHING
IN ITS PATH, HURLING HUGE CORAL
00:00:41.37\00:00:44.67
BLOCKS ASHORE. THE
TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION ALSO
00:00:44.71\00:00:48.08
BLEW FIVE CUBIC MILES OF DEBRIS
INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, CREATING
00:00:48.11\00:00:52.88
A DUST CLOUD THAT BLOCKED
SUNLIGHT, COOLED CLIMATES,
00:00:52.91\00:00:56.55
AND, FOR A FEW YEARS, PRODUCED
BRILLIANT RED SUNSETS THAT WERE
00:00:56.58\00:01:00.69
SO INTENSE, PEOPLE OFTEN THOUGHT
THERE WAS A FIRE ON THE HORIZON.
00:01:00.72\00:01:04.63
THE ERUPTION OF KRAKATOA WAS ONE
OF THE LOUDEST AND MOST POWERFUL
00:01:04.66\00:01:08.70
VISIBLE EVENTS IN MODERN TIMES,
BUT DID YOU KNOW THE BOOK OF
00:01:08.73\00:01:12.87
REVELATION PICTURES THE SECOND
COMING OF JESUS AS EVEN LOUDER.
00:01:12.90\00:01:17.17
IT SAYS THERE'LL BE A
TRUMPET AND A ROAR AND A SHOUT.
00:01:17.21\00:01:20.78
SO JOIN ME NOW AS WE TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:01:20.81\00:01:24.25
REALLY SAYS ABOUT
THE RETURN OF CHRIST.
00:01:24.28\00:01:27.45
>>SO, OUR STUDY TODAY IS TALKING
ABOUT WHEN THE KING RETURNS AND
00:01:31.75\00:01:35.92
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE SIGNS OF CHRIST COMING -
00:01:35.96\00:01:39.36
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
DATE FOR THE LORD'S RETURN, BUT
00:01:39.39\00:01:43.77
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE
00:01:43.80\00:01:46.84
CHRISTIAN WORLD REGARDING HOW
JESUS IS COMING BACK, BECAUSE
00:01:46.87\00:01:50.01
THAT IS GOING TO SET MANY
PEOPLE UP FOR A MAJOR DECEPTION.
00:01:50.04\00:01:54.18
AND SO, WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT.
00:01:54.21\00:01:55.91
FIRST QUESTION: WHAT SOLEMN
WARNING DOES JESUS GIVE ABOUT
00:01:55.94\00:02:00.05
HIS SECOND COMING? "FOR
MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME,
00:02:00.08\00:02:03.52
SAYING, 'I AM THE
CHRIST,' AND WILL DECEIVE MANY."
00:02:03.55\00:02:06.86
NOW, THAT VERSE CAN BE
UNDERSTOOD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT
00:02:06.89\00:02:08.89
WAYS AND STILL BE CORRECT.
SOME ARE GOING TO COME AND
00:02:08.92\00:02:13.50
THEY'RE GOING TO
CLAIM TO BE JESUS.
00:02:13.53\00:02:15.16
AND THEN THERE'S GOING TO COME
AND SAY, 'HE IS CHRIST,' BUT
00:02:15.20\00:02:17.00
THEY'LL DECEIVE PEOPLE.
MANY WILL COME, THEY COME IN HIS
00:02:17.03\00:02:19.90
NAME, THEY SAY HE'S
CHRIST, AND THEN THEY DECEIVE.
00:02:19.93\00:02:23.81
AND THEN THERE ARE SOME
THAT COME AND THEY SAY, 'I AM
00:02:23.84\00:02:26.61
CHRIST.' AND SATAN IS GOING
TO IMPERSONATE JESUS IN THE LAST
00:02:26.64\00:02:31.15
DAYS AND YOU CAN ALSO READ ON,
IT SAYS, "FOR THERE SHALL ARISE
00:02:31.18\00:02:37.02
FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS
AND THEY WILL SHOW GREAT SIGNS
00:02:37.05\00:02:40.79
AND WONDERS." NOW,
I'M NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT
00:02:40.82\00:02:45.26
KOOKS THAT SAY
THAT THEY'RE JESUS.
00:02:45.29\00:02:49.13
THERE'S PROBABLY THOUSANDS
OF THEM WALKING THE WORLD TODAY.
00:02:49.16\00:02:52.00
I SAW A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
REPORT ABOUT HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE
00:02:52.03\00:02:55.70
AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE A
SMALL GROUP OF WORSHIPERS AND
00:02:55.74\00:02:57.87
THEY CLAIM TO BE JESUS.
YOU'VE GOT ONE IN SOUTH AMERICA,
00:02:57.91\00:03:01.91
YOU'VE GOT ONE IN EUROPE,
AND OTHER PLACES AND THEY
00:03:01.94\00:03:05.45
HAVE THEIR FOLLOWERS. I
MET SOMEBODY THAT CLAIMED TO
00:03:05.48\00:03:09.42
BE JESUS AND IT WAS A LITTLE
UNNERVING BECAUSE I WAS LIVING
00:03:09.45\00:03:13.56
BY MYSELF IN THE MOUNTAINS IN
A CAVE AND A GUY CAME HIKING UP
00:03:13.59\00:03:18.36
INTO MY CAVE YARD - I HAD A YARD
- (LAUGHTER) AND - I MEAN, YOU
00:03:18.39\00:03:23.43
CAME OVER THE ROCKS
AND YOU'RE IN MY YARD.
00:03:23.47\00:03:26.40
HE WAS ABOUT SIX FEET TALL.
HE HAD SHOULDER-LENGTH BROWN
00:03:26.43\00:03:29.84
HAIR, HAZEL EYES,
MUSTACHE AND A BEARD.
00:03:29.87\00:03:34.48
AND I'M FRIENDLY, I SAT
DOWN, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT.
00:03:34.51\00:03:37.85
IN THE PROCESS OF CONVERSATION
HE ASKED ME IF I WAS A BELIEVER.
00:03:37.88\00:03:40.45
I SAID, 'WELL, YEAH,
I JUST READ THE BIBLE.
00:03:40.48\00:03:42.12
I JUST ACCEPTED JESUS.' AND HE
SAID, 'I AM JESUS.' (LAUGHTER)
00:03:42.15\00:03:48.16
AND I WASN'T SURE I HEARD HIM
RIGHT AND HE SAYS, 'I AM JESUS.'
00:03:48.19\00:03:54.10
AND THEN I THOUGHT, 'WELL I'VE
GOT SOME SPANISH FRIENDS NAMED
00:03:54.10\00:03:57.43
JESUS. I SAID, 'YOU MEAN
YOUR NAME IS JESUS? (LAUGHTER)
00:03:57.47\00:04:00.60
HE SAID, 'NO, I AM JESUS.'
AND THAT WAS A LITTLE TROUBLING
00:04:00.64\00:04:06.71
BECAUSE I THOUGHT, 'THIS
GUY'S CRAZY AND I'M UP HERE IN
00:04:06.74\00:04:10.35
THE MOUNTAINS BY MYSELF.' AND
THEN I THOUGHT, 'WELL, I DON'T
00:04:10.38\00:04:12.81
WANT TO CALL HIM CRAZY
BECAUSE WHAT IF HE IS JESUS?
00:04:12.85\00:04:14.48
I'D LIKE TO KNOW. I'VE
GOT A LOT OF QUESTIONS.'
00:04:14.52\00:04:17.52
AND SO, I STARTED SAYING, 'WELL,
NOW, DOESN'T IT SAY IN THE BIBLE
00:04:17.55\00:04:22.32
WHEN YOU COME, LIKE
EVERY EYE'S GOING TO SEE YOU
00:04:22.36\00:04:24.29
COMING IN THE CLOUDS?'
(LAUGHTER) HE SAID, 'THAT'S HOW
00:04:24.33\00:04:27.23
I'M COMING FOR THE WORLD
AT LARGE, BUT I'M COMING FOR
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.16
CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS FIRST.' AND
HE HAD AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING.
00:04:29.20\00:04:33.50
HE WAS TRYING TO
RECRUIT ME AS A DISCIPLE.
00:04:33.54\00:04:35.37
(LAUGHTER) AND SO, I HUMORED HIM
FOR A FEW DAYS - YOU KNOW, NICE
00:04:35.40\00:04:41.64
AND, YOU KNOW,
HE STAYED WITH ME.
00:04:41.68\00:04:43.65
HE ATE ALL MY
FOOD. HE WAS A SLOB.
00:04:43.68\00:04:46.01
HE DIDN'T CLEAN ANYTHING
UP. AND, FINALLY, I HAD TO
00:04:46.05\00:04:48.42
EVICT JESUS FROM MY CAVE.
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) A FEW DAYS
00:04:48.45\00:04:54.62
LATER I SAW HIM IN TOWN
AND HE HAD FOUND AN APOSTLE.
00:04:54.66\00:04:57.29
HE WAS WALKING AROUND - AND I
FELT MUCH BETTER BECAUSE ABOUT
00:04:57.33\00:05:01.03
TWO WEEKS
LATER, I SAW HIM AGAIN.
00:05:01.06\00:05:02.70
HE HAD GOTTEN IN A FIGHT WITH
SOMEBODY AND THEY KNOCKED OUT
00:05:02.73\00:05:04.83
HIS FRONT TOOTH AND WE ALL KNOW
JESUS HAS ALL HIS TEETH, SO THAT
00:05:04.87\00:05:08.84
SETTLED IT FOR ME. (LAUGHTER) I
FELT MUCH BETTER AT THAT POINT.
00:05:08.87\00:05:14.74
SO I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THOSE
KOOKY PEOPLE, BUT WHEN SATAN
00:05:14.78\00:05:19.08
IMPERSONATES CHRIST, IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY COMPELLING AND
00:05:19.11\00:05:24.02
THERE'LL BE AN EMOTIONAL
POWER AND THERE'LL BE SIGNS AND
00:05:24.05\00:05:26.45
WONDERS AND
HE'LL QUOTE THE BIBLE.
00:05:26.49\00:05:32.26
WHAT'LL PREVENT THE
RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING DECEIVED?
00:05:32.29\00:05:35.00
YOU READ IN ISAIAH 8, VERSE 20 -
IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE BIBLE -
00:05:35.03\00:05:39.17
ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND
THE TESTIMONY, IF THEY SPEAK
00:05:39.20\00:05:42.40
NOT ACCORDING TO THIS
WORD, THERE'S NO LIGHT IN THEM.
00:05:42.44\00:05:46.17
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO JUDGE
EVERYTHING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:05:46.21\00:05:49.31
THAT'S WHY I'VE TOLD YOU THAT WE
NEED TO REALLY KNOW OUR BIBLES
00:05:49.34\00:05:52.91
BECAUSE JESUS TELLS US THAT
THE DECEPTION IS GOING TO BE SO
00:05:52.95\00:05:55.85
COMPELLING THAT, IF IT WERE
POSSIBLE, EVEN THE VERY ELECT
00:05:55.88\00:05:58.95
WOULD BE DECEIVED. SO
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
00:05:58.99\00:06:01.66
CAREFULLY ROOTED IN WHAT WE
BELIEVE. WELL, IF YOU HEARD THAT
00:06:01.69\00:06:06.29
THERE WAS SOMEBODY OUT THERE AND
THEY'RE CLAIMING TO BE JESUS,
00:06:06.33\00:06:08.50
WOULD IT BE SAFE
TO GO AND SEE THEM?
00:06:08.53\00:06:10.10
>>NO. >>WHAT DOES THE LORD SAY?
00:06:10.13\00:06:12.77
HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 24, VERSES
26, "WHEREFORE, IF THEY SAY UNTO
00:06:12.80\00:06:16.77
YOU, 'BEHOLD, HE IS IN
THE DESERT.' GO NOT FORTH."
00:06:16.81\00:06:20.41
DON'T EVEN LOOK. 'HEY,
TURN ON CHANNEL 13 - JESUS
00:06:20.44\00:06:23.95
HAS JUST APPEARED IN JERUSALEM.'
I WOULDN'T EVEN TURN IT ON
00:06:23.98\00:06:28.72
BECAUSE THE DEVIL CAN HYPNOTIZE.
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU HYPNOTIZE
00:06:28.75\00:06:31.79
A PERSON WITH THEIR
AUDIO AND THEIR VISUAL NERVES.
00:06:31.82\00:06:36.16
THE OPTIC AND THE AUDITORY
NERVES AND TELEVISION KIND OF
00:06:36.19\00:06:40.70
REACHES BOTH. AND
NOW THEY'VE GOT TV
00:06:40.73\00:06:44.23
IT'S LIKE HIGH RESOLUTION.
THEY'RE GETTING 3D - I MEAN,
00:06:44.27\00:06:47.37
IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
POWERFUL. DON'T DO IT.
00:06:47.40\00:06:50.64
WHAT CAN WE KNOW ABOUT
THE TIME OF JESUS' RETURN?
00:06:50.67\00:06:54.98
NOW, I'M GOING TO SPEND SOME
TIME ON THIS QUESTION SO JUST
00:06:55.01\00:06:56.78
GET COMFORTABLE BECAUSE I
WANT TO MAKE A FEW THINGS CLEAR:
00:06:56.81\00:07:00.12
FIRST OF ALL, REGARDING A
SPECIFIC TIME OF HIS COMING,
00:07:00.15\00:07:03.59
JESUS COULD NOT BE
MISUNDERSTOOD: "BUT OF THAT DAY
00:07:03.62\00:07:06.99
AND THAT HOUR KNOWETH
NO MAN." THAT SHOULD SETTLE
00:07:07.02\00:07:10.59
IT FOR EVERYBODY. SO,
IF SOMEONE COMES TO YOU AND
00:07:10.63\00:07:13.06
THEY SAY, 'WELL, I KNOW MOST
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW, BUT NEAR THE
00:07:13.09\00:07:15.10
END WE'RE GOING
TO FIGURE IT OUT.
00:07:15.13\00:07:16.73
AND I'VE DONE SOME CALCULATING
AND I DON'T KNOW THE DAY AND THE
00:07:16.77\00:07:19.23
HOUR, BUT I KNOW THE MONTH.' AND
I'VE HEARD ALL KINDS OF STRANGE
00:07:19.27\00:07:23.34
THINGS. WHY WOULD
YOU TRY TO PICK THE DAY?
00:07:23.37\00:07:28.01
WOULD YOU WAIT 'TIL THE
LAST MINUTE TO GET READY?
00:07:28.04\00:07:30.41
HE SAID HE'S COMING BACK.
HE COULD COME FOR YOU TOMORROW.
00:07:30.45\00:07:33.92
BECAUSE IF YOU DIE, YOUR
NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS THE
00:07:33.95\00:07:37.42
RESURRECTION AND SO WE
NEED TO BE READY HOW OFTEN?
00:07:37.45\00:07:39.75
>>ALWAYS. >>JESUS
SAID, 'BE READY ALWAYS
00:07:39.79\00:07:42.79
LEST THAT DAY
OVERTAKE YOU AS A THIEF.'
00:07:42.82\00:07:45.63
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
OVERTAKEN AS A THIEF ALREADY.
00:07:45.66\00:07:49.50
AND SO, WE NEED TO BE READY.
00:07:49.53\00:07:51.20
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER HAROLD
CAMPING - FAMILY RADIO - I
00:07:51.23\00:07:56.17
TALKED TO HIM ONCE
OR TWICE ON THE RADIO.
00:07:56.20\00:07:58.67
MATTER OF FACT, AMAZING FACTS
INTERVIEWED HIM NOT TOO LONG
00:07:58.71\00:08:01.08
BEFORE HE DIED,
BECAUSE HE WAS SETTING A DATE.
00:08:01.11\00:08:03.95
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK HE
WAS SINCERE, BUT HE WAS WRONG.
00:08:03.98\00:08:07.92
A LOT OF PEOPLE GAVE EVERYTHING
THEY HAD - THEY INVESTED IN HIS
00:08:07.95\00:08:10.22
MINISTRY TO GET THE WORD
OUT THAT JESUS WAS COMING.
00:08:10.25\00:08:12.72
WHAT WAS IT, MAY 21,
2011? AND, OF COURSE,
00:08:12.75\00:08:16.83
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THAT
WAS THE SECOND OR THIRD
00:08:16.86\00:08:18.59
TIME HE HAD PREDICTED
THE DAY AND THE HOUR OF
00:08:18.63\00:08:20.70
THE LORD'S COMING.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:08:20.73\00:08:22.66
I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
EVERY PASTOR AND EVANGELIST THAT
00:08:22.70\00:08:26.70
HAS PICKED THE DATE
FOR THE LORD'S COMING HAS
00:08:26.74\00:08:28.97
BEEN WRONG SO FAR.
(LAUGHTER) YOU REALIZE THAT?
00:08:29.00\00:08:32.14
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE
DATES THAT HAVE PASSED.
00:08:32.17\00:08:34.34
AND SO, YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE GOING DOWN THAT ROAD.
00:08:34.38\00:08:37.25
BUT WHILE WE DON'T KNOW THE DAY
AND THE HOUR, CAN WE KNOW WHEN
00:08:37.28\00:08:40.32
IT'S NEAR? >>AMEN.
00:08:40.35\00:08:41.98
>>YES. >>JESUS IS PRETTY CLEAR.
00:08:42.02\00:08:43.62
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 33, "WHEN YOU
SEE ALL THESE THINGS, KNOW THAT
00:08:43.65\00:08:49.39
IT IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS."
THERE ARE GOING TO BE SIGNS
00:08:49.42\00:08:52.53
WHERE WE CAN
KNOW THAT IT IS NEAR.
00:08:52.56\00:08:54.56
AND WHAT ARE
SOME OF THOSE SIGNS?
00:08:54.56\00:08:57.07
WELL, THERE'S QUITE A FEW.
FIRST OF ALL, JESUS SAYS, IN
00:08:57.10\00:08:58.73
MATTHEW 24, THERE'LL BE
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
00:08:58.77\00:09:05.01
WELL, WE'VE HAD WARS ALL THROUGH
HISTORY AND CERTAINLY, NOW,
00:09:05.04\00:09:09.31
WE'VE GOT RUMORS OF WAR.
DO YOU KNOW, JUST A LITTLE
00:09:09.34\00:09:12.78
AMAZING FACT FOR YOU, THAT THE
WORLD SPENDS OVER 100 MILLION
00:09:12.81\00:09:18.85
DOLLARS AN HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES?
00:09:18.89\00:09:26.93
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HAVE
JUST A LITTLE PIECE OF THAT?
00:09:26.96\00:09:29.90
100 MILLION DOLLARS AN
HOUR ON INTERNATIONAL MILITARY
00:09:29.93\00:09:35.84
EXPENDITURES. THE
BIBLE SAYS THERE'LL BE
00:09:35.87\00:09:38.91
POLITICAL INSTABILITY - PEOPLE'S
HEARTS WILL BE FAILING FOR FEAR
00:09:38.94\00:09:43.24
- THE SEA AND THE WAVES
ROARING. AND WE SEE THAT NOW.
00:09:43.28\00:09:46.35
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH VOLATILITY
AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY AND
00:09:46.38\00:09:50.52
PROBLEMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
AND THERE HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS.
00:09:50.55\00:09:56.19
JESUS SAID THERE'LL BE
PESTILENCE - THAT'S PLAGUES -
00:09:56.22\00:09:59.73
AND VARIOUS KINDS OF DISEASE.
AND WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE EBOLA
00:09:59.76\00:10:03.40
CRISIS THAT THEY
HAD A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
00:10:03.43\00:10:05.87
BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK, REALLY,
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO BE
00:10:05.90\00:10:09.94
CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO
A PLAGUE IS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE
00:10:09.97\00:10:14.18
AS A FLU. DO YOU
KNOW THAT DURING WORLD
00:10:14.21\00:10:17.28
WAR I, WHAT KILLED THE MOST
PEOPLE WAS NOT THE BATTLES - AND
00:10:17.31\00:10:23.99
THEY WERE BRUTAL - OF WORLD WAR
1, IT WAS THE 1918 FLU EPIDEMIC
00:10:24.02\00:10:28.52
THAT KILLED 40
MILLION PEOPLE THAT YEAR.
00:10:28.56\00:10:33.36
AND, RIGHT NOW, THEY SAY THAT
THERE'S THE POTENTIAL OF ANOTHER
00:10:33.40\00:10:35.96
STRAIN OF THAT THAT IS RESISTANT
TO [TREATMENT] AND THE ABILITY
00:10:36.00\00:10:40.27
FOR US TO SPREAD THAT WITH
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL - YOU GET
00:10:40.30\00:10:43.47
ON AN AIRPLANE IN A TIN CAN WITH
ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE AND IT'S
00:10:43.51\00:10:47.14
HARD NOT TO PICK SOMETHING UP
AND TO TRANSMIT IT EVERYWHERE.
00:10:47.18\00:10:52.65
I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THOSE
THINGS, I'M JUST SAYING THESE
00:10:52.68\00:10:54.38
ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS.
HE SAID THERE'LL BE PLAGUES,
00:10:54.42\00:10:57.12
THERE'LL BE NATURAL DISASTERS.
BETWEEN 2004 AND 2014 18 - AND
00:10:57.15\00:11:04.79
THIS IS FROM THE GEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY OF AMERICA - 18
00:11:04.83\00:11:07.60
EARTHQUAKES WITH A MAGNITUDE OF
8.0 OR MORE RATTLED SUBDUCTION
00:11:07.66\00:11:12.90
ZONES AROUND THE GLOBE. THAT'S
AN INCREASE OF 265 PERCENT OVER
00:11:12.93\00:11:18.54
THE AVERAGE RATE OF THE PREVIOUS
CENTURY." AND SO, THEY'RE SEEING
00:11:18.57\00:11:23.01
AN ACCELERATION OF THE PROBLEMS.
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
00:11:23.04\00:11:25.51
LET ME TELL WHY
THESE SIGNS MATTER.
00:11:25.55\00:11:29.62
WE'VE ALWAYS HAD WARS.
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN PLAGUES -
00:11:29.65\00:11:32.12
YOU HAD THE BLACK DEATH - YOU'VE
HAD PROBLEMS IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:11:32.15\00:11:35.86
THERE'S, YOU KNOW, PROBLEMS
WITH EARTHQUAKES AND NATURAL
00:11:35.89\00:11:38.69
DISASTERS, BUT THE LORD
SAID IT'LL BE LABOR PAINS.
00:11:38.73\00:11:44.27
PAUL REFERS TO IT AS THE WHOLE
CREATION GROANS AND TRAVAILS -
00:11:44.30\00:11:48.37
IT COMPARES IT TO A BIRTH.
NOW, WE HAVE FIVE CHILDREN -
00:11:48.40\00:11:54.34
SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN - I KNOW
SOMETHING ABOUT HOW THIS WORKS.
00:11:54.38\00:11:58.31
WIFE SAYS, 'I'M FEELING SOME
PAIN.' YOU RUSH HER OFF TO THE
00:11:58.35\00:12:03.45
HOSPITAL AND HE LISTENS AND
SAYS, 'HOW FAR APART ARE THEY?'
00:12:03.49\00:12:06.65
'ABOUT A DAY OR TWO.'
HE SAYS, 'OH, GO BACK HOME.
00:12:06.69\00:12:09.46
THOSE ARE
BRAXTON-HICKS CONTRACTIONS.
00:12:09.49\00:12:12.06
THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
YOUR BODY'S JUST GETTING WARMED
00:12:12.09\00:12:14.13
UP.' BUT, EVENTUALLY, THOSE
PAINS WILL START COMING AND
00:12:14.20\00:12:19.90
HE'LL SAY, 'HOW FAR APART ARE
THEY? HOW SEVERE ARE THEY? AS
00:12:19.93\00:12:23.51
THEY INCREASE IN FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY, YOU KNOW THERE'S
00:12:23.54\00:12:27.74
GOING TO BE A BIRTH EVENTUALLY.
AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE
00:12:27.78\00:12:31.45
WORLD CANNOT BE DENIED THAT WITH
ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS THERE IS
00:12:31.48\00:12:34.82
AN INCREASE IN FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY THAT TELLS US THAT
00:12:34.85\00:12:39.72
THE COMING OF THE
LORD IS GOING TO BE SOON.
00:12:39.75\00:12:42.26
DOUG: DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT,
00:12:43.66\00:12:45.93
WE'LL RETURN FOR THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:12:45.96\00:12:49.50
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE
PROPHETIC SIGNS OF CHRIST'S
00:12:49.53\00:12:52.03
RETURN AND JUST HOW
CLOSE WE REALLY ARE TO THE MOST
00:12:52.07\00:12:55.54
EXTRAORDINARY
COSMIC EVENT IN HISTORY?
00:12:55.57\00:12:58.87
WILL WE BE SUDDENLY
AND SECRETLY RAPTURED AS
00:12:58.91\00:13:01.58
MILLIONS ARE LEFT BEHIND?
00:13:01.61\00:13:03.65
OR WILL JESUS'S RETURN BE AS
LOUD AND BRIGHT AS LIGHTENING
00:13:03.68\00:13:07.35
FROM SKY TO SKY?
00:13:07.38\00:13:09.35
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A MILLION
DIFFERENT THEORIES OUT THERE,
00:13:09.38\00:13:11.79
BUT THERE'S
ONLY ONE BIBLE TRUTH,
00:13:11.82\00:13:14.29
AND JESUS PROMISES IF
WE SEEK, WE WILL FIND.
00:13:14.32\00:13:18.23

LET'S RETURN TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:13:49.26\00:13:52.13
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:52.16\00:13:54.36
>>ANOTHER PROBLEM IS JUST WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
00:13:56.16\00:13:59.03
HALF OF THE WORLD'S WILDLIFE
SPECIES, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
00:13:59.07\00:14:02.27
SAYS, HAVE BEEN LOST
IN THE PAST 40 YEARS.
00:14:02.30\00:14:04.44
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:14:04.47\00:14:05.77
HALF OF THE WILDLIFE SPECIES
HAVE BEEN LOST IN 40 YEARS.
00:14:05.81\00:14:10.51
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'LL
BE VIOLENCE IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:14:10.55\00:14:14.38
HE SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS
OF NOAH, WHERE PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS
00:14:14.42\00:14:18.39
AND THEIR HEARTS WERE ONLY EVIL
CONTINUALLY AND VIOLENCE FILLED
00:14:18.42\00:14:21.66
THE LAND.' EVERY DAY,
MORE AMERICAN YOUTH DIE IN GANG
00:14:21.69\00:14:25.13
VIOLENCE THAN
FIGHTING IN FOREIGN WARS.
00:14:25.16\00:14:28.40
THAT STATISTIC HAS
BEEN TRUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
00:14:28.43\00:14:30.87
JESUS SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF LOT, SO WILL IT BE IN
00:14:30.90\00:14:34.00
THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF
MAN SHALL RETURN.' - MEANING
00:14:34.04\00:14:36.94
THERE'LL BE
TREMENDOUS IMMORALITY.
00:14:36.97\00:14:39.71
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SOME OF
YOU THAT HEARD THERE'S A WEBSITE
00:14:39.74\00:14:42.64
THAT ENCOURAGES
PEOPLE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR.
00:14:42.68\00:14:45.61
THEY SAY, 'LIFE IS SHORT.
HAVE AN AFFAIR.' YOU NOTICE THE
00:14:45.65\00:14:48.18
GIRL HAS GOT A WEDDING RING
ON? AND SOMEONE BREACHED THEIR
00:14:48.22\00:14:51.52
DATABASE - THEY CLAIMED TO
HAVE 56 MILLION PEOPLE GLOBALLY
00:14:51.55\00:14:56.46
- THAT'S PRETTY SAD. AND
THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE
00:14:56.49\00:15:00.06
IT ALL IF THEY DIDN'T BRING DOWN
THEIR SITE. THEY DIDN'T BRING
00:15:00.10\00:15:03.53
DOWN THEIR SITE AND A LOT OF
THESE VERY PERSONAL DETAILS OF
00:15:03.57\00:15:07.64
PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN EITHER
HAVING AFFAIRS OR CONTEMPLATING
00:15:07.67\00:15:10.84
AFFAIRS.
00:15:10.87\00:15:13.01
OVER POPULATION - IT TOOK ABOUT
5,000 YEARS TO GET THE FIRST
00:15:13.04\00:15:17.78
BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD,
THEN IT ONLY TOOK 130 YEARS TO
00:15:17.81\00:15:20.92
GET THE SECOND BILLION.
THEN IT TOOK 30 YEARS TO GET THE
00:15:20.95\00:15:23.72
THIRD BILLION, 15 YEARS
TO GET THE FOURTH BILLION.
00:15:23.75\00:15:26.79
I REMEMBER WHEN
THERE WERE 3 BILLION.
00:15:26.82\00:15:28.26
NOW THEY'RE PUSHING
TOWARDS 8 BILLION PEOPLE.
00:15:28.29\00:15:32.29
YOU KNOW, FOR ME ALSO, ONE OF
THE AMAZING SIGNS THAT JESUS IS
00:15:32.33\00:15:35.53
COMING SOON IS FOUND
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12.
00:15:35.56\00:15:39.37
IT SAYS, 'BUT YOU, DANIEL, SHUT
UP THE WORDS, AND SEAL THE BOOK
00:15:39.40\00:15:41.97
UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END; MANY
SHALL RUN TO AND FRO," - AND
00:15:42.00\00:15:47.04
PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AND FRO:
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE
00:15:47.08\00:15:50.05
SAID, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FAR FROM
00:15:50.08\00:15:54.38
HOME MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY."
00:15:54.42\00:15:57.92
AND THEY'RE JUST - THE
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL - AS MUCH
00:15:57.95\00:16:01.79
AS WE COMPLAIN, IT'S
HAPPENING MORE AND MORE.
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.69
ALL THE PLANES ARE FULL THAT I'M
ON. AND HE SAID, GOING BACK TO
00:16:03.73\00:16:07.86
DANIEL,
"KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE."
00:16:07.93\00:16:10.47
LOOK AT THE EXPLOSION OF
KNOWLEDGE. NOW, YOU CAN HAVE A
00:16:10.50\00:16:12.70
LOT OF KNOWLEDGE AND NO
WISDOM. WISDOM IS KNOWING WHAT
00:16:12.73\00:16:16.20
TO DO WITH KNOWLEDGE. YOU
CAN HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND MAKE
00:16:16.24\00:16:18.07
AN ATOMIC BOMB AND NOT
HAVE THE WISDOM TO NOT USE IT.
00:16:18.11\00:16:21.68
SO, MAN HAS CERTAINLY
GOT A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE.
00:16:21.71\00:16:25.05
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD
ABOUT THE HADRON ACCELERATOR - I
00:16:25.08\00:16:28.38
THINK THAT WAS ON THE
SCREEN JUST A MOMENT AGO.
00:16:28.42\00:16:30.45
IT'S THE LARGEST SCIENTIFIC
EXPERIMENT IN THE WORLD.
00:16:30.49\00:16:34.19
17-MILE TUNNEL UNDERNEATH FRANCE
AND SWITZERLAND - 500-FEET BELOW
00:16:34.22\00:16:41.43
GROUND - 10,000 SCIENTISTS AND
THEY'RE TRYING TO ISOLATE AND
00:16:41.46\00:16:46.43
DISCOVER WHAT THEY CALL
'THE HIGGS BOSON' - THE GOD
00:16:46.47\00:16:49.87
PARTICLE. THEY'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW
00:16:49.90\00:16:52.47
THE UNIVERSE WAS DEVELOPED AND
THEY SPENT ALL THIS MONEY TO TRY
00:16:52.51\00:16:56.75
AND FIND OUT, YOU KNOW,
WHAT DOES EVERYTHING COME FROM?
00:16:56.78\00:17:01.35
AND, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO
GO THROUGH ALL OF THE AMAZING
00:17:01.38\00:17:03.65
INVENTIONS THAT HAVE
TAKEN PLACE IN THE LAST CENTURY.
00:17:03.69\00:17:06.62
SOME OF YOU HERE, YOU
GREW UP WITH KEROSENE LIGHTS.
00:17:06.65\00:17:10.93
AND THERE'S STILL PEOPLE HERE
WHO REMEMBER WHEN YOU RODE A
00:17:10.96\00:17:13.26
HORSE TO GET FROM POINT A TO
POINT B. LOOK AT HOW THE WORLD
00:17:13.29\00:17:16.30
HAS CHANGED IN ONE GENERATION.
BUT, FOR ME, THE MOST AMAZING
00:17:16.33\00:17:20.34
SIGN IS IN MATTHEW
24, VERSE 14. >>AMEN.
00:17:20.37\00:17:24.14
>>JESUS SAID, "AND THIS GOSPEL
OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED
00:17:24.17\00:17:27.61
IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS
UNTO THE NATIONS AND THEN THE
00:17:27.64\00:17:32.45
END WILL COME."
THE END MIGHT COME?
00:17:32.48\00:17:35.32
>>WILL. >>HE SAID
THE END SHALL COME -
00:17:35.35\00:17:37.62
IT WILL COME. IS THE
GOSPEL BEING PREACHED
00:17:37.65\00:17:40.29
IN ALL THE WORLD? >>YES.
00:17:40.32\00:17:41.66
>>NEVER BEFORE - I MEAN, EVEN AS
I SPEAK RIGHT NOW, THIS IS GOING
00:17:41.69\00:17:44.83
UP BY SATELLITE, IT'S ON AT
LEAST THREE DIFFERENT SATELLITE
00:17:44.86\00:17:48.50
NETWORKS, IT'S GOING
THROUGH THE INTERNET.
00:17:48.53\00:17:50.43
THERE'S PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING
IN NEW GUINEA AND AUSTRALIA AND
00:17:50.47\00:17:53.23
NORWAY AND JUST
ALL OVER THE PLANET.
00:17:53.27\00:17:56.97
IN CHINA AMAZING FACTS HAD
THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE FIRST
00:17:57.01\00:18:02.88
CHRISTIAN MINISTRY OF ANY
DENOMINATION TO DO A PUBLIC
00:18:02.91\00:18:07.05
EVANGELISTIC
MEETING IN CHINA - >>AMEN!
00:18:07.08\00:18:10.22
>>SINCE - IN THE LAST 59 YEARS
- AND WE VIDEOTAPED IT AND HOPE
00:18:10.25\00:18:15.22
CHINA DID IT AND IT'S BEING
BROADCAST AROUND CHINA - IT WAS
00:18:15.26\00:18:17.79
TRANSLATED. SO THE GOSPEL
IS GOING AROUND THE WORLD.
00:18:17.83\00:18:22.50
WE GET INTERNET - WE GET E-MAIL
FROM PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'RE
00:18:22.53\00:18:25.20
WATCHING OUR PROGRAM IN MIDDLE
EASTERN COUNTRIES - THEY SAY, 'I
00:18:25.23\00:18:27.67
CAN'T TELL YOU MY NAME BECAUSE
IF THIS GOT OUT MY LIFE COULD BE
00:18:27.70\00:18:31.17
IN DANGER.' BUT THEY'RE
WATCHING. THE GOSPEL IS GOING IN
00:18:31.21\00:18:34.38
ALL THE WORLD. >>AMEN.
00:18:34.41\00:18:36.04
>>AND SO, THAT'S WHY
I THINK JESUS IS COMING.
00:18:36.08\00:18:38.25
HE DIDN'T SAY EVERYBODY WOULD
BELIEVE, HE SAID, 'AS A WITNESS
00:18:38.28\00:18:40.92
TO ALL NATIONS, THEN THE END
WILL COME.' SO ARE WE GETTING
00:18:40.95\00:18:46.62
READY FOR JESUS' COMING? >>AMEN.
00:18:46.65\00:18:48.72
>>WHAT WILL THE ANGELS DO
AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS?
00:18:48.76\00:18:53.66
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WILL SEND
HIS ANGELS AND THEY WILL GATHER
00:18:53.70\00:18:56.80
TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
WINDS OF HEAVEN - THAT MEANS
00:18:56.83\00:19:00.07
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST - AND
THEY'LL BRING THEM TO THE LORD -
00:19:00.10\00:19:05.24
THEY'RE GOING TO BE CAUGHT
UP TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
00:19:05.27\00:19:07.34
NOW, SINCE WE'RE LIVING JUST
BEFORE THE SECOND COMING, HOW
00:19:07.38\00:19:11.58
SHOULD WE RELATE TO THIS
SOLEMN AND GLORIOUS EVENT?
00:19:11.61\00:19:15.52
HE SAYS, 'THEREFORE BE READY,
FOR IN SUCH AN HOUR YOU THINK
00:19:15.55\00:19:20.12
NOT, THE SON OF MAN IS COMING.'
I DID A PROGRAM LIKE THIS BACK
00:19:20.16\00:19:24.93
IN 1999 AND THERE WAS MILLENNIAL
FEVER AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT THE
00:19:24.96\00:19:29.66
WORLD WAS GOING TO END WITH
Y2K. ANY OF YOU REMEMBER THAT?
00:19:29.70\00:19:33.07
>>YES. >>THAT WAS THE MOTHER
00:19:33.10\00:19:34.40
OF ALL FALSE ALARMS.
AND I KNEW PEOPLE SOLD
00:19:34.44\00:19:38.31
EVERYTHING AND MOVED UP INTO
MONTANA AND, YOU KNOW, LIVED ON
00:19:38.34\00:19:41.31
GARBANZO BEANS OR WHATEVER AND
THEY JUST CUT UP THEIR CREDIT
00:19:41.34\00:19:44.35
CARDS AND SAID, 'WE'VE
GOT TO GET OFF THE GRID.
00:19:44.38\00:19:45.95
THE WORLD IS
GOING TO END WITH Y2K.
00:19:45.98\00:19:48.85
EVERYONE THOUGHT, '2000,
SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN.'
00:19:48.88\00:19:52.72
YOU CAN LISTEN TO MY OLD TAPE, I
SAID, 'I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING
00:19:52.75\00:19:54.82
TO HAPPEN NOW.' 'WHY?'
'BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR
00:19:54.86\00:19:56.26
IT NOW.' (LAUGHTER) JESUS SAID,
'AS SUCH AN HOUR AS YOU THINK
00:19:56.29\00:19:59.79
NOT.' AND WHO'S HE
TALKING TO? THE CHURCH.
00:19:59.83\00:20:03.63
YOU NOTICE THAT WHEN JESUS TELLS
PARABLES ABOUT HIS SECOND COMING
00:20:03.67\00:20:07.57
HE SAID, 'BEFORE IT HAPPENS
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING.'
00:20:07.60\00:20:12.64
THERE WERE TEN VIRGINS -
FIVE WISE, FIVE FOOLISH -
00:20:12.67\00:20:17.21
ALL ASLEEP, RIGHT? >>RIGHT.
00:20:17.25\00:20:20.52
>>AND THEN THE BRIDEGROOM
SHOUTED THAT HE'S COMING -
00:20:20.55\00:20:22.72
THEY HAD TO WAKE UP.
JESUS SAID, 'IF THAT EVIL
00:20:22.75\00:20:25.45
SERVANT SAYS IN HIS HEART,
'MY LORD DELAYS HIS COMING.'' -
00:20:25.49\00:20:28.82
EVEN IF HE SAYS IT IN HIS
HEART - AND WE'RE ASLEEP AT THAT
00:20:28.86\00:20:33.66
CRITICAL MOMENT.
WHAT WERE THE DISCIPLES
00:20:33.70\00:20:35.03
DOING JUST BEFORE
THE CROSS? >>SLEEPING.
00:20:35.06\00:20:37.07
>>HE SAID, 'PRAY WITH
ME.' THEY WENT TO SLEEP.
00:20:37.10\00:20:39.53
ON THE MOUNTAIN WHEN MOSES AND
ELIJAH APPEAR AND GOD SPEAKS,
00:20:39.57\00:20:42.24
THE DISCIPLES FELL
ASLEEP. SO JESUS SAID, MARK
00:20:42.27\00:20:47.61
CHAPTER 13, "WATCH.
WATCH. WATCH." HOW DO YOU WATCH?
00:20:47.64\00:20:52.25
YOU HAVE TO BE SOBER.
YOU HAVE TO BE VIGILANT.
00:20:52.28\00:20:54.45
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING YOURSELF TO
00:20:54.48\00:20:58.72
DOZE OFF. DO YOU HAVE A
00:20:58.75\00:21:00.39
RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS? ARE YOU SPENDING
00:21:00.42\00:21:02.76
REGULAR TIME WITH HIM?
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO.
00:21:02.79\00:21:05.56
MAKE A NOTE, SET IT ON YOUR
COMPUTER, HAVE AN ALARM GO OFF.
00:21:05.59\00:21:08.60
BUT IF YOU TAKE TIME TO PRAY, IF
YOU TAKE TIME TO READ HIS WORD,
00:21:08.63\00:21:13.00
IF YOU TAKE TIME
- SHARE YOUR FAITH.
00:21:13.03\00:21:15.60
AND YOU NEED TO BE
STUDYING. KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
00:21:15.64\00:21:20.04
BE READY ALWAYS TO GIVE AN
ANSWER TO ANYONE WHO ASKS YOU
00:21:20.08\00:21:23.04
THE REASON FOR THE HOPE THAT IS
IN YOU WITH MEEKNESS AND FEAR.
00:21:23.08\00:21:25.81
SO HOW WILL PEOPLE BE REWARDED
AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS?
00:21:25.85\00:21:30.15
THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO GROUPS.
00:21:30.19\00:21:31.95
THE LORD SAYS, 'BEHOLD, I COME
AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME TO GIVE
00:21:31.99\00:21:35.56
TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING
AS HIS WORKS SHALL BE."
00:21:35.59\00:21:39.69
WHAT WILL THE
RIGHTEOUS SAY WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:21:39.73\00:21:43.60
"LO, THIS IS OUR GOD.
WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM
00:21:43.63\00:21:46.84
AND HE WILL SAVE US."
DO YOU LIVE FOR THE LORD?
00:21:46.87\00:21:49.87
ARE YOU WAITING FOR HIM? >>YES.
00:21:49.90\00:21:51.91
>>YOU KNOW, A FEW YEARS AGO,
A CAPTAIN, SCOTT O'GRADY, WAS
00:21:51.94\00:21:57.65
FLYING OVER BOSNIA DURING THE
WAR THERE, AND HIS JET WAS SHOT
00:21:57.68\00:22:03.02
DOWN. AND HE PARACHUTED OFF
00:22:03.05\00:22:06.79
INTO ENEMY TERRITORY.
AND HE KNEW THAT IF HE WAS
00:22:06.82\00:22:11.03
CAPTURED THAT - THEY HAD
BEEN DOING BOMB RUNS AND THAT HE
00:22:11.06\00:22:15.00
WOULD BE EITHER
KILLED OR TORTURED OR BOTH.
00:22:15.03\00:22:17.80
AND SO HE HAD TO HIDE.
CUT LOOSE HIS PARACHUTE, WENT
00:22:17.83\00:22:23.81
UNDER SOME BUSHES - HE KNEW WHEN
HE WAS SHOT DOWN THAT OTHERS SAW
00:22:23.84\00:22:26.47
HIS PARACHUTE COME DOWN
AND HE WAS HIDING UNDER BUSHES.
00:22:26.51\00:22:30.41
HE PUT HIS
CAMOUFLAGE GLOVES OVER HIS FACE.
00:22:30.45\00:22:32.91
HE SAW PEOPLE
WALKING RIGHT BY THE BUSHES.
00:22:32.95\00:22:36.38
HE HEARD THE SOLDIERS WITH GUNS
TALKING AND WALKING AROUND HIM
00:22:36.42\00:22:40.09
AND HE HAD TO STAY PERFECTLY
STILL. FOR SIX DAYS HE HID,
00:22:40.12\00:22:45.06
TERRIFIED - HE'D TRY TO SLEEP
AND STAY STILL DURING THE DAY.
00:22:45.09\00:22:50.37
ABOUT MIDNIGHT - HE'D GET UP
DURING THE NIGHT AND HE'D RUN -
00:22:50.40\00:22:55.04
TRY AND GET FURTHER AND
FURTHER AND TRY AND GET OUT IN
00:22:55.07\00:22:57.11
THE WILDERNESS - DIDN'T EVEN
RADIO FOR A FEW DAYS BECAUSE HE
00:22:57.14\00:23:00.08
KNEW THEY'D BE LISTENING
FOR HIS RADIO FREQUENCY.
00:23:00.11\00:23:03.31
AND HE CAUGHT RAINWATER IN A
SPONGE AND ATE BUGS AND PUT ALL
00:23:03.35\00:23:08.92
OF HIS TRAINING INTO PRACTICE.
00:23:08.95\00:23:11.32
YOU CAN READ, WHERE HE SAID
IN THIS TIME MAGAZINE A PILOT'S
00:23:11.35\00:23:14.39
STORY , "I PRAYED TO GOD AND
ASKED HIM FOR A LOT OF THINGS
00:23:14.42\00:23:19.16
AND HE DELIVERED ME
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TIME."
00:23:19.19\00:23:21.90
O'GRADY TOLD
TIME IN AN INTERVIEW.
00:23:21.93\00:23:23.47
"WHEN I PRAYED FOR
RAIN HE GAVE ME RAIN.
00:23:23.50\00:23:25.80
ONE TIME I PRAYED, 'LORD, LET ME
HAVE AT LEAST SOMEONE KNOW I'M
00:23:25.83\00:23:29.07
ALIVE AND MAYBE COME RESCUE
ME.' AND GUESS WHAT? THAT NIGHT
00:23:29.10\00:23:33.07
T.O." - THAT'S A FELLOW F-16
PILOT, THOMAS O. HANFORD - "CAME
00:23:33.11\00:23:37.31
UP ON THE RADIO." AT THAT MOMENT
O'GRADY KNEW HIS ORDEAL WAS
00:23:37.35\00:23:40.52
COMING TO AN END. >>AMEN.
00:23:40.55\00:23:42.35
>>WHAT HE DIDN'T KNOW IS
THAT THEY HAD A FIX ON HIM.
00:23:42.38\00:23:48.22
THEY KNEW HE WAS SHOT DOWN AND
THEY MOBILIZED THE ENTIRE U.S.
00:23:48.26\00:23:53.80
AIR FORCE, MARINES - NATO WAS
ALL PREOCCUPIED WITH RESCUING
00:23:53.83\00:24:00.14
ONE SOLDIER. THAT'S
HOW MUCH ONE SOLDIER MEANS.
00:24:00.17\00:24:04.27
AND WHEN THEY FINALLY CAME AND
HE HAD TO RUN UP ON THIS HILL -
00:24:04.31\00:24:07.78
HE KNEW THEY HAD JUST A VERY
SHORT TIME - THE MARINES CAME IN
00:24:07.81\00:24:10.38
WITH THE HELICOPTERS - THEY SAW
HIS SMOKE - THEY LANDED AND THEY
00:24:10.41\00:24:14.15
PICKED HIM UP AND HE WAS SO
THANKFUL TO BE CAUGHT UP AND
00:24:14.18\00:24:19.72
SAVED FROM ENEMY TERRITORY.
WELL, WE'VE BEEN DOWN HERE FOR
00:24:19.75\00:24:23.36
6,000 YEARS, HAS
JESUS FORGOTTEN ABOUT US?
00:24:23.39\00:24:27.03
>>NO. >>WE'RE
IN ENEMY TERRITORY.
00:24:27.10\00:24:30.37
IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, YOU'RE
A CITIZEN OF ANOTHER KINGDOM,
00:24:30.40\00:24:32.80
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:24:32.83\00:24:34.14
>>AND HE IS NOT GOING
TO NEGLECT HIS PROMISE.
00:24:34.17\00:24:37.64
CHRIST HAS TOLD US VERY PLAINLY,
'IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY
00:24:37.67\00:24:41.34
MANSIONS. IF IT WAS NOT
SO, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU.
00:24:41.38\00:24:44.51
I WILL COME AGAIN.' >>AMEN.
00:24:44.55\00:24:47.95
>>HE CAME THE FIRST
TIME JUST LIKE HE PROMISED.
00:24:47.98\00:24:50.09
HE'S GOING TO
COME THE SECOND TIME.
00:24:50.12\00:24:52.19
DO YOU BELIEVE
IT, FRIENDS? >>YES.
00:24:52.22\00:24:53.52
>>AMEN. >>AND HE
WANTS TO TAKE US BACK
00:24:53.56\00:24:55.09
TO A WORLD WHERE THERE
IS NO MORE PAIN OR SORROW
00:24:55.12\00:24:57.83

THING THAT MATTERS IN
00:24:57.86\00:25:00.13

JESUS AND SHARING JESUS.

BETTER THAN
ANYTHING WE CAN IMAGINE.

IT IS NOT A FAIRY TALE, IT IS
ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS THAT IS
00:25:11.21\00:25:13.68
REAL, IS THE MESSAGE OF THE
GOSPEL AND WE NEED TO GET THAT
00:25:13.71\00:25:18.05
