00:00:04.60\00:00:09.14
>>THE CHRISTIANS OF THE
ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN WORLD USED
00:00:09.17\00:00:11.67
CATACOMBS, A NETWORK
OF SUBTERRANEAN CHAMBERS
00:00:11.71\00:00:14.54
AND GALLERIES FOR BURIAL.
00:00:14.58\00:00:16.11
BUT DURING TIMES OF PERSECUTION,
THE CATACOMBS BECAME PLACES OF
00:00:16.14\00:00:20.05
REFUGE BECAUSE BURIAL
GROUNDS WERE GUARDED OR
00:00:20.08\00:00:23.08
SACROSANCT BY ROMAN LAW.
00:00:23.12\00:00:25.72
WHEN CHURCHES ABOVE GROUND WERE
DESTROYED BY IMPERIAL ORDER,
00:00:25.75\00:00:28.79
WORSHIPPERS MET
IN CATACOMB CHAPELS.
00:00:28.82\00:00:31.36
BY AD 200, CHRISTIANS HAD CARVED
SOME 600 MILES OF TOMBS IN THE
00:00:31.39\00:00:36.97
VOLCANIC ROCK
IN AND AROUND ROME.
00:00:37.00\00:00:40.04
EVENTUALLY, THE CATACOMBS
EXPANDED INTO HONEYCOMBS OF
00:00:40.07\00:00:43.51
GALLERIES WITH
STAIRCASES AND MULTIPLE LEVELS.
00:00:43.54\00:00:47.24
ROMANS PREFERRED CREMATION, BUT
CHRISTIANS FOLLOWED THE PRACTICE
00:00:47.28\00:00:50.51
OF INTERRING THE
DEAD IN CATACOMBS,
00:00:50.55\00:00:52.55
WHICH THEY CALLED
CAIAMETRIA, OR SLEEPING PLACES,
00:00:52.58\00:00:56.25
TO SUGGEST THAT FOR A CHRISTIAN,
DEATH IS MERELY A SLEEP
00:00:56.28\00:00:59.82
BEFORE THE RESURRECTION.
00:00:59.85\00:01:02.66
DID YOU KNOW THAT JESUS PLAINLY
TAUGHT THAT DEATH IS A SLEEP?
00:01:02.69\00:01:07.03
IN FACT, ALL OF
SCRIPTURE CONFIRMS THAT IT IS AN
00:01:07.10\00:01:10.07
UNCONSCIOUS SLEEP UNTIL THE
RESURRECTION AT CHRIST'S RETURN.
00:01:10.10\00:01:14.34
SO WHY IS THERE
SO MUCH CONFUSION,
00:01:14.37\00:01:16.77
EVEN AMONG CHRISTIANS,
OVER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?
00:01:16.81\00:01:20.58
AND HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF
AGAINST SOME OF THE POTENTIALLY
00:01:20.61\00:01:23.88
DANGEROUS DELUSIONS
ABOUT DEATH IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:01:23.91\00:01:27.52
>>I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE BEEN TO PARIS BEFORE.
00:01:32.02\00:01:34.06
THEY'VE GOT A TOURIST ATTRACTION
THERE THAT IS A LITTLE BIT
00:01:34.09\00:01:37.76
GRISLY. IT'S THE
CATACOMBS OF PARIS.
00:01:37.79\00:01:41.60
UNLIKE THE CATACOMBS IN
ROME, WHERE IT SHOWS WHERE THE
00:01:41.63\00:01:44.03
CHRISTIANS LIVED AND SOME
OF THE BURIAL AREAS, BUT IN THE
00:01:44.07\00:01:48.20
CATACOMBS OF PARIS THEY,
BASICALLY, HAD A PROBLEM WITH
00:01:48.24\00:01:52.17
FINDING NEW GRAVES SHORTLY AFTER
THE FRENCH REVOLUTION BECAUSE,
00:01:52.21\00:01:56.54
YOU KNOW, THEY WERE JUST - SO
MANY PEOPLE WERE BUTCHERED WITH
00:01:56.58\00:01:59.15
THE GUILLOTINE - THEY COULDN'T
MANAGE ALL THE GRAVES AND IT
00:01:59.18\00:02:02.38
BECAME UNSANITARY.
WELL, THERE WERE ALL THESE
00:02:02.42\00:02:05.05
ANCIENT CATACOMBS UNDER PARIS
SO THEY BEGAN TO STACK UP THE
00:02:05.09\00:02:08.22
BODIES - THE REMAINS - OF SIX
MILLION PARISIANS IN 190 MILES
00:02:08.26\00:02:18.13
OF TUNNELS AND THERE ARE ABOUT
160,000 TOURISTS THAT VISIT
00:02:18.17\00:02:23.87
PARIS EVERY YEAR AND THEY GO
DOWN INTO THESE CATACOMBS AND
00:02:23.91\00:02:26.68
THEY WIND DOWN THIS SPIRAL
STAIRCASE AND THEY'VE GOT TOUR
00:02:26.71\00:02:28.94
GUIDES AND MOST OF IT,
OBVIOUSLY, IS BLOCKED OFF.
00:02:28.98\00:02:32.48
THEY'VE GOT THE ONE GUY THAT
WORKS THERE AND HE - THEY SAID,
00:02:32.51\00:02:38.49
'DOESN'T THIS BOTHER YOU - ALL
THESE SPIRITS SURROUNDED BY ALL
00:02:38.52\00:02:41.99
THE GHOSTS OF ALL THESE BONES?'
AND HE SAID, 'WELL, IT MADE ME
00:02:42.02\00:02:45.09
FEEL A LITTLE BIT CREEPY AT
FIRST BUT' - HE SAYS - 'NOW THE
00:02:45.13\00:02:47.66
BONES KIND OF FALL OFF AND I
PICK THEM UP AND I STICK THEM
00:02:47.73\00:02:49.70
BACK IN.' - HE SAID - 'YOU KNOW,
YOU JUST GET USED TO IT AFTER A
00:02:49.73\00:02:51.83
WHILE.' HOW'D YOU
LIKE TO HAVE THAT JOB?
00:02:51.87\00:02:53.44
BUT DO YOU REALLY NEED TO WORRY
ABOUT WALKING THROUGH A CEMETERY
00:02:53.47\00:02:59.31
AND THE PEOPLE SPOOKING
YOU? I HEARD ONE TIME, YOU KNOW,
00:02:59.34\00:03:05.88
PEOPLE PUT SOME INTERESTING
THINGS ON THEIR TOMBSTONES AND
00:03:05.91\00:03:07.65
IT'S AN EDUCATION TO
WALK THROUGH A CEMETERY.
00:03:07.68\00:03:11.59
AND THIS ONE MAN, HE PUT ON HIS
TOMBSTONE, "STOP, MY FRIEND, AS
00:03:11.62\00:03:17.19
YOU GO BY, AS I AM NOW - AS YOU
ARE NOW, SO ONCE WAS I, AS I AM
00:03:17.23\00:03:24.10
NOW, YOU SOON SHALL BE, SO
PREPARE YOURSELF TO FOLLOW ME."
00:03:24.13\00:03:28.74
(LAUGHTER) WELL A SCHOOLBOY WAS
WALKING THROUGH THE CEMETERY AND
00:03:28.77\00:03:32.34
HE STOPPED AND LOOKED AT THAT
WRITING ON THE TOMBSTONE AND HE
00:03:32.37\00:03:35.98
SCRIBBLED WITH CRAYON, HE SAID,
"TO FOLLOW YOU I'M NOT CONTENT,
00:03:36.01\00:03:39.58
UNTIL I KNOW
JUST WHERE YOU WENT."
00:03:39.61\00:03:42.05
(LAUGHTER) AND THAT'S REALLY THE
BIG QUESTION: WHERE DO THEY GO?
00:03:42.08\00:03:45.19
WHAT HAPPENS TO
PEOPLE WHEN THEY DIE?
00:03:45.22\00:03:48.12
JESUS GIVES US SOME ENCOURAGING
WORDS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
00:03:48.16\00:03:51.33
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 18. HE
SAYS, "I AM HE WHO LIVES, AND
00:03:51.36\00:03:56.50
WAS DEAD, AND BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE
FOREVERMORE...AND I HAVE THE
00:03:56.53\00:04:01.10
KEYS OF (HELL) AND OF DEATH."
NOW THE WORD HELL THERE IN THE
00:04:01.14\00:04:05.64
BIBLE REPRESENTS THE GRAVE.
HE SAYS, 'I'VE GOT THE KEYS OF
00:04:05.67\00:04:09.94
THE GRAVE AND DEATH.' WE DON'T
NEED TO BE AFRAID OF DEATH.
00:04:09.98\00:04:12.98
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT,
YOU'LL COME TO FIND THAT
00:04:13.01\00:04:15.42
CHRISTIANS DO NOT
REALLY DIE, THEY GO TO SLEEP.
00:04:15.45\00:04:21.06
LET'S FIND OUT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:04:21.09\00:04:22.52
LET'S GET INTO OUR STUDY.
QUESTION #1: TO UNDERSTAND THE
00:04:22.56\00:04:25.69
SUBJECT OF DEATH, WE'VE GOT
TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND
00:04:25.73\00:04:28.60
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN GOD FIRST MADE MAN.
00:04:28.63\00:04:31.50
HOW DID WE GET
HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
00:04:31.53\00:04:34.64
IT SAYS IN GENESIS 2, VERSE 7,
"AND THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN OF
00:04:34.67\00:04:38.27
THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND
BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE
00:04:38.31\00:04:42.88
BREATH OF LIFE; AND
MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL."
00:04:42.91\00:04:48.48
YOU NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY THAT
GOD GAVE MAN OR INJECTED HIM
00:04:48.52\00:04:52.15
WITH A SOUL. THE
COMBINATION OF THE BREATH OF
00:04:52.19\00:04:54.62
LIFE AND THE DUST OF THE EARTH
THAT THE LORD ASSEMBLED - MAN
00:04:54.66\00:04:58.79
THEN BECAME A LIVING
SOUL. DON'T MISS THAT.
00:04:58.83\00:05:01.40
WHEN GOD FIRST MADE ADAM AND
HE PUT ALL THE POSITIONS - THE
00:05:01.43\00:05:06.23
ORGANS IN THEIR PLACE AND THERE
WAS BLOOD IN ADAM'S VEINS BUT
00:05:06.27\00:05:10.34
HIS HEART WAS NOT BEATING AND HE
HAD A SET OF LUNGS BUT THEY WERE
00:05:10.37\00:05:12.91
NOT BREATHING - THEN IT SAYS,
'GOD BREATHED INTO HIM THAT
00:05:12.94\00:05:16.41
BREATH OF LIFE.' QUESTION #2:
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON DIES?
00:05:16.44\00:05:21.95
BASICALLY, IT'S
CREATION IN REVERSE.
00:05:21.98\00:05:26.86
YOU READ IN ECCLESIASTES 12,
VERSE 7, "THEN THE DUST" - THE
00:05:26.89\00:05:31.06
BODY - "SHALL RETURN
TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS."
00:05:31.09\00:05:33.40
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU DIE, YOU DECOMPOSE.
00:05:33.43\00:05:36.23
AND IT SAYS, "AND THE SPIRIT
WILL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT."
00:05:36.26\00:05:40.44
SO WHAT IS THIS SPIRIT
THAT RETURNS TO GOD AT DEATH?
00:05:40.47\00:05:46.54
IS IT A GHOST
THAT HOPS OUT OF YOU?
00:05:46.57\00:05:49.61
IT SAYS IN JOB, 'ALL THE
WHILE MY BREATH IS IN ME AND THE
00:05:49.64\00:05:53.58
SPIRIT OF GOD IS IN MY
NOSTRILS.' WELL, I BET YOU NEVER
00:05:53.62\00:05:58.45
THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY BEFORE
- YOU'VE GOT A SOUL UP YOUR NOSE
00:05:58.49\00:06:02.06
- THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOUR
NOSTRILS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:06:02.09\00:06:05.96
IT'S THE WORD THERE SPIRIT
IS THE HEBREW WORD RUACH AND IT
00:06:05.99\00:06:11.20
MEANS 'THE BREATH OF GOD IS IN
MY NOSTRILS.' THE WORDS BREATH
00:06:11.23\00:06:16.14
AND SPIRIT ARE INTERCHANGEABLE
MANY TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:16.17\00:06:19.47
IT HEBREW IT'S RUACH . THE
WORD OFTEN TRANSLATED SPIRIT
00:06:19.51\00:06:23.55
IN GREEK IS PNEUMA AND SO
THE WORD PNEUMA MEANS BREATH .
00:06:23.58\00:06:28.58
AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE TRANSLATED SPIRIT -
00:06:28.62\00:06:31.35
IT'S JUST THE WORD BREATH
AND THEY THINK IT MEANS A GHOST
00:06:31.39\00:06:33.76
JUMPS OUT OF YOU.
AGAIN, THE BODY WITHOUT THE
00:06:33.79\00:06:36.73
SPIRIT IS DEAD. THAT
WORD THERE SPIRIT IN JAMES
00:06:36.76\00:06:39.39
CHAPTER 2 IS BREATH . THE
BODY WITHOUT THE BREATH IS
00:06:39.43\00:06:41.96
DEAD. EVERYTHING BREATHES IN OUR
00:06:42.00\00:06:43.90
WORLD. EVEN FISH BREATHE.
00:06:43.93\00:06:46.40
MUSHROOMS BREATHE. THERE
IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATH.
00:06:46.43\00:06:49.67
EVERY SINGLE CELL OF LIFE IN
OUR WORLD USES THE GASES OF AIR
00:06:49.70\00:06:55.74
SOMEHOW - THEY BREATHE OR THEY
DIE. SO WHAT IS A SOUL THEN?
00:06:55.78\00:07:00.58
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE
SOUL AND EVERYBODY THINKS IT'S A
00:07:00.62\00:07:03.75
LITTLE BUTTERFLY GHOST - SOME
KIND OF PINK COTTON CANDY THAT
00:07:03.79\00:07:06.32
COMES OUT OF YOU.
IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, AN
00:07:06.35\00:07:09.96
ETHEREAL CREATURE.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:07:09.99\00:07:13.36
TEACHES. WHAT IS A SOUL?
00:07:13.40\00:07:16.06
GENESIS 2:7, "THE LORD GOD
FORMED MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE
00:07:16.10\00:07:19.30
GROUND," - WE'RE GOING TO REVIEW
THIS - "AND BREATHED INTO HIS
00:07:19.33\00:07:21.80
NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF
LIFE; AND MAN BECAME A (SOUL)."
00:07:21.84\00:07:26.01
THE COMBINATION OF THE
TWO THINGS BECOMES A SOUL.
00:07:26.04\00:07:28.71
LET'S SUPPOSE FOR A MOMENT HERE
I'VE GOT A BOX - JUST A LITTLE
00:07:28.74\00:07:31.88
WOODEN BOX - IT'S A
COMBINATION OF WOOD AND NAILS.
00:07:31.91\00:07:36.02
AND I PUT THE WOOD AND THE
NAILS TOGETHER AND I MAKE A BOX.
00:07:36.05\00:07:39.12
TWO COMPONENTS -
WOOD AND NAILS - BOX.
00:07:39.15\00:07:41.96
SO I NOW TAKE MY HAMMER AND
I PULL OUT THE NAILS AND I SET
00:07:41.99\00:07:45.86
THEM OVER HERE, AND I TAKE
THE LITTLE PIECES OF BOARD - THE
00:07:45.89\00:07:49.00
WOOD - AND I SET THEM OVER
HERE. I'VE STILL GOT THE NAILS.
00:07:49.03\00:07:52.10
I'VE STILL GOT THE
WOOD. WHERE'S THE BOX?
00:07:52.13\00:07:55.07
THE BOX STOPS BEING A BOX
WHEN YOU SEPARATE THE TWO.
00:07:55.10\00:07:59.17
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
WITH YOU BEING A SOUL.
00:07:59.21\00:08:02.34
WHEN YOU SEPARATE THE BREATH
OF LIFE FROM THE BODY, IT STOPS
00:08:02.38\00:08:07.75
BEING A SOUL. YOUR
SOUL EXPERIENCES EVERYTHING
00:08:07.78\00:08:10.89
YOUR SOUL
EXPERIENCES IN YOUR BODY.
00:08:10.92\00:08:13.02
SO THE IDEA THAT YOU'VE GOT
A LITTLE GHOST INSIDE YOU THAT
00:08:13.05\00:08:15.82
GOES FLITTING AROUND AFTER YOU
DIE, YOU DON'T FIND THAT IN THE
00:08:15.86\00:08:18.63
BIBLE. QUESTION
- BIG QUESTION - DO
00:08:18.66\00:08:23.87
SOULS DIE? CAN A SOUL DIE?
00:08:23.90\00:08:27.64
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'NO, YOUR
SOUL'S IMMORTAL.' LET'S FIND OUT
00:08:27.67\00:08:31.24
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
EZEKIEL 18, VERSE 4, "THE SOUL
00:08:31.27\00:08:34.64
WHO SINS" - CAN YOU
SEE WHAT THAT SAYS? -
00:08:34.68\00:08:37.55
IT SHALL WHAT? - "THE
SOUL WHO SINS SHALL DIE."
00:08:37.58\00:08:41.52
THE PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.
ONLY THE LORD HAS IMMORTALITY.
00:08:41.55\00:08:44.72
SO YOU DON'T
HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:08:44.75\00:08:46.69
MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ
IN REVELATION 16, SPEAKING ABOUT
00:08:46.72\00:08:49.86
ONE OF THE PLAGUES IT SAYS, 'AND
EVERY SOUL IN THE SEA DIED.'
00:08:49.89\00:08:53.16
THERE THE WORD SOUL IS SPEAKING
ABOUT EVERY LIVING CREATURE.
00:08:53.19\00:08:57.67
AND SO WHEN IT SAYS, IN
ECCLESIASTES 'THE BODY RETURNS
00:08:57.70\00:09:01.10
TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS AND THE
SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE
00:09:01.14\00:09:04.74
IT', WHAT IS THAT
SPIRIT THAT RETURNS TO GOD?
00:09:04.77\00:09:08.01
EVERY CREATURE IN THE WORLD GETS
ITS LIFE FROM GOD AND WHEN ANY
00:09:08.04\00:09:12.88
CREATURE DIES THE LIFE
RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE IT.
00:09:12.91\00:09:16.85
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S UP
THERE HAVING A CONVERSATION -
00:09:16.89\00:09:19.12
THE BUTTERFLIES AND THE FISH
ARE ALL TALKING TO EACH OTHER -
00:09:19.15\00:09:21.36
THEY'VE ALL GOT
THESE LITTLE GHOSTS.
00:09:21.39\00:09:22.89
IT'S JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
POWER OF LIFE RETURNS TO GOD WHO
00:09:22.92\00:09:25.03
GAVE IT. AND WE
READ A LOT OF THINGS AND
00:09:25.06\00:09:27.36
SUPERSTITIONS INTO
THE BIBLE. IT'S NOT THERE.
00:09:27.40\00:09:29.70
DO GOOD PEOPLE GO TO
HEAVEN RIGHT WHEN THEY DIE?
00:09:29.73\00:09:31.77
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS - JOB
17:13 - "IF I WAIT, THE GRAVE IS
00:09:31.80\00:09:36.60
MINE HOUSE." THEY SLEEP A
DREAMLESS SLEEP IN THE GRAVE.
00:09:36.64\00:09:40.88
AND AGAIN, 'MEN AND BRETHREN' -
PETER SPEAKING - 'LET ME FREELY
00:09:40.91\00:09:44.88
SPEAK UNTO YOU OF THE PATRIARCH
DAVID THAT HE IS BOTH DEAD AND
00:09:44.91\00:09:49.08
BURIED AND THAT HIS TOMB IS
WITH US TO THIS DAY.' NOW, I'M
00:09:49.12\00:09:54.69
SPEAKING ABOUT GOOD KING DAVID,
YOU KNOW, THE ONE WHO KILLED
00:09:54.72\00:09:58.56
GOLIATH. HOW MANY
BELIEVE, IF YOU KNOW
00:09:58.59\00:10:00.93
YOUR BIBLE AT ALL,
THAT DAVID WOULD BE SAVED?
00:10:00.96\00:10:03.16
DAVID'S GOING TO BE SAVED.
DAVID DIED 3,000 YEARS AGO -
00:10:03.20\00:10:08.57
1,000 YEARS BEFORE
CHRIST - GOOD MAN, GOOD KING.
00:10:08.60\00:10:12.81
HERE PETER IS PREACHING RIGHT
NOW AT PENTECOST 1,000 YEARS
00:10:12.84\00:10:16.78
LATER - AFTER THE CROSS - AFTER
JESUS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN - AND
00:10:16.81\00:10:21.15
HE SAID, 'LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT
KING DAVID, THAT HE IS DEAD AND
00:10:21.18\00:10:25.02
BURIED AND HIS GRAVE IS STILL
WITH US TO THIS DAY.' THEY COULD
00:10:25.05\00:10:27.72
LOOK AND SEE WHERE HIS
GRAVE WAS, RIGHT THERE OUTSIDE
00:10:27.76\00:10:29.66
JERUSALEM. IT'S STILL
THERE TODAY - I'VE BEEN THERE.
00:10:29.69\00:10:31.36
READING ON, PETER SAYS, 'FOR
DAVID IS NOT ASCENDED INTO THE
00:10:31.39\00:10:36.36
HEAVENS.' NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW
MORE CLEAR THE APOSTLE CAN BE
00:10:36.40\00:10:40.10
WHEN HE SAYS,
'HE'S DEAD. HE'S BURIED.
00:10:40.14\00:10:42.30
HIS GRAVE IS WITH US AND HE'S
NOT IN HEAVEN.' SO IF GOOD KING
00:10:42.34\00:10:46.51
DAVID IS NOT IN HEAVEN YET AND
JESUS HAS HAD 3,000 YEARS TO GET
00:10:46.54\00:10:49.61
HIM THERE, THEN MAYBE WE DON'T
GO THERE UNTIL A FUTURE TIME.
00:10:49.64\00:10:53.78
LET'S KEEP
READING. WHEN IS THAT TIME?
00:10:53.82\00:10:58.05
JOHN CHAPTER 5 - THESE ARE
THE WORDS OF JESUS - VERSE 28.
00:10:58.09\00:11:01.19
WHEN THE LORD COMES BACK IT
SAYS, "...ALL THAT ARE IN THE
00:11:01.22\00:11:04.76
GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS
VOICE" AND COME FORTH.
00:11:04.79\00:11:08.10
THERE'S A RESURRECTION. HOW
MANY OF YOU KNEW THERE WAS A
00:11:08.13\00:11:10.63
RESURRECTION? PEOPLE
DON'T COME OUT OF THEIR
00:11:10.67\00:11:13.57
GRAVES UNTIL THE RESURRECTION.
THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE
00:11:13.60\00:11:15.57

LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S

00:12:29.64\00:12:32.88
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:32.91\00:12:35.35
HOW MUCH DOES ONE COMPREHEND
00:12:36.72\00:12:39.22
AFTER DEATH? I
MEAN, DON'T YOU DIE AND AT
00:12:39.25\00:12:43.73
LEAST YOU'RE IN LIMBO OR
PURGATORY OR ABRAHAM'S BOSOM?
00:12:43.76\00:12:48.20
WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PLACES WE'VE
CONCOCTED WHERE PEOPLE KIND OF
00:12:48.23\00:12:50.63
-IT'S A WAITING ROOM FOR HEAVEN
OR HELL AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:12:50.67\00:12:54.64
TEACH THAT. SHOW ME THE
WORD LIMBO IN THE BIBLE.
00:12:54.67\00:12:57.87
PURGATORY - WHERE'S THAT IN THE
BIBLE? IT'S NOT THERE, IS IT?
00:12:57.91\00:13:04.18
THESE ARE JUST MAN-MADE THINGS.
ECCLESIASTES 9:5, 6, 10 -
00:13:04.21\00:13:10.42
SEVERAL PLACES YOU CAN
LOOK. DO YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE,
00:13:10.45\00:13:13.52
FRIENDS? >>AMEN.
00:13:13.56\00:13:15.26
>>HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS: "...THE
DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING," -
00:13:15.29\00:13:17.46
COULDN'T BE MORE CLEAR THAN
THAT. IT'S LIKE A DICTIONARY
00:13:17.49\00:13:19.66
DEFINITION. -
"NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE A
00:13:19.69\00:13:22.10
REWARD; FOR THE
MEMORY OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN.
00:13:22.13\00:13:24.50
ALSO THEIR LOVE, AND THEIR
HATRED, AND THEIR ENVY, IS NOW
00:13:24.53\00:13:27.34
PERISHED; NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY
MORE A PORTION FOR EVER IN ANY
00:13:27.37\00:13:31.37
THING THAT IS
DONE UNDER THE SUN."
00:13:31.41\00:13:33.78
UNDER THE SUN
MEANS IN THIS LIFE.
00:13:33.81\00:13:35.31
ONCE A PERSON DIES, THEY DON'T
COME BACK TO HAUNT ANYBODY.
00:13:35.34\00:13:37.51
THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO AT ALL
00:13:37.55\00:13:40.72
WITH ANYTHING THAT'S
GOING ON IN THIS WORLD.
00:13:40.75\00:13:43.08
AGAIN, SPEAKING OF THE DEAD,
IT SAYS, 'HIS SONS WILL COME
00:13:43.12\00:13:47.16
TO HONOR AND HE KNOWS IT NOT.
00:13:47.19\00:13:49.56
THEY ARE BROUGHT LOW AND HE
PERCEIVES IT NOT OF THEM.' IN
00:13:49.59\00:13:52.76
OTHER WORDS, WHEN A PERSON DIES,
THEY'RE NOT UP IN HEAVEN LOOKING
00:13:52.79\00:13:55.66
DOWN ON THEIR FAMILY - FIRST OF
ALL, WOULD YOU BE VERY HAPPY UP
00:13:55.70\00:13:58.53
IN HEAVEN IF YOU COULD LOOK DOWN
AND SEE ALL THE TROUBLE THAT
00:13:58.57\00:14:03.67
YOUR FAMILY IS HAVING AND MAYBE
YOUR KIDS ARE GOING THROUGH?
00:14:03.71\00:14:07.44
I MEAN, WOULD YOU BE ENJOYING
THE BLISS OF HEAVEN WHEN YOU SEE
00:14:07.48\00:14:09.78
ALL THE TRAGEDY AND
MISERY ON THIS WORLD?
00:14:09.81\00:14:11.51
IT SAYS THE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
HAVE NO MORE PAIN - NO MORE
00:14:11.55\00:14:14.42
SORROW. THEY'RE
NOT GOING THROUGH ALL
00:14:14.45\00:14:17.45
THAT AGONY OF WATCHING WHAT'S
HAPPENING DOWN HERE, THEY ARE
00:14:17.49\00:14:20.99
SLEEPING A
PEACEFUL, DREAMLESS SLEEP.
00:14:21.02\00:14:23.76
NOW SOME OF US ARE THINKING
RIGHT NOW, 'PASTOR DOUG, WHAT
00:14:23.79\00:14:25.93
ABOUT THAT VERSE THERE IN 1
CORINTHIANS - 'TO BE ABSENT FROM
00:14:25.96\00:14:28.90
THE BODY IS TO BE
PRESENT WITH THE LORD'?
00:14:28.93\00:14:30.93
WELL, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
IF YOU'RE SAVED AND YOU DIE,
00:14:30.97\00:14:36.67
YOUR NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT
IS THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:14:36.71\00:14:41.01
JESUS CALLED UNCONSCIOUSNESS
- THE UNCONSCIOUS STATE OF THE
00:14:41.04\00:14:44.55
DEAD - SLEEP IN
JOHN 11, VERSES 11 TO 14.
00:14:44.58\00:14:48.22
HOW LONG WITH THEY SLEEP?
00:14:48.25\00:14:50.69
IT SAYS, 'SO MAN LIES DOWN AND
HE RISES NOT UNTIL THE HEAVENS
00:14:50.72\00:14:54.52
BE NOR MORE.' NOW WE READ
THIS ONE TO YOU A MOMENT AGO.
00:14:54.56\00:14:57.06
WHEN IS IT WHEN THE
HEAVENS ARE NO MORE?
00:14:57.09\00:14:59.19
'THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME
IN WHICH THE HEAVENS PASS AWAY.'
00:14:59.23\00:15:03.16
SO THEY SLEEP UNTIL
THE HEAVENS ARE NO MORE.
00:15:03.20\00:15:05.20
THEY SLEEP UNTIL
THE HEAVENS PASS AWAY.
00:15:05.23\00:15:06.97
THAT'S WHEN THE DAY OF THE LORD
COMES AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
00:15:07.00\00:15:09.44
SO IT'S AT THE COMING OF THE
LORD THAT THE DEAD WILL RISE.
00:15:09.47\00:15:12.84
THEY'RE NOT RISEN YET.
AS FAR AS THEY'RE CONCERNED,
00:15:12.87\00:15:16.41
THEY HAVE NO
CONSCIOUSNESS OF TIME.
00:15:16.44\00:15:18.61
THE RESURRECTION HAPPENS AS SOON
AS THEY DIE BECAUSE IT'S THE
00:15:18.65\00:15:21.72
NEXT THING THEY KNOW, BUT WE
LIVE IN TIME, HAS IT HAPPENED
00:15:21.75\00:15:25.29
YET? ' FOR AS IN ADAM, ALL DIE.
00:15:25.32\00:15:29.32
EVEN SO, IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE
MADE ALIVE.' SO EVERYONE DIES IN
00:15:29.36\00:15:33.63
ADAM. WE'VE ALL
GOT THESE PHYSICAL
00:15:33.66\00:15:34.93
BODIES. ADAM DIED.
00:15:34.96\00:15:36.77
GOD'S SAYING 'THE DAY YOU
EAT THEREOF YOU WILL DIE.' ADAM
00:15:36.80\00:15:39.13
BEGAN DYING, SPIRITUALLY, AND
THEN EVEN BEGAN DYING PHYSICALLY
00:15:39.17\00:15:43.24
THE DAY THAT HE SINNED.
'BUT EVERY MAN IN HIS OWN ORDER:
00:15:43.27\00:15:49.18
CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS' -
HERE'S THE ORDER - THIS IS NEW
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.71
TESTAMENT. WHEN DO THEY RAISE?
00:15:51.75\00:15:53.75
- 'CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS,
AFTERWARD THEY THAT ARE
00:15:53.78\00:15:56.92
CHRIST'S' - WHAT DOES
IT SAY? - 'AT HIS COMING.'
00:15:56.95\00:16:00.62
WHEN DO THEY RISE? WE
ALL DIE, BUT AFTERWARD 'THEY
00:16:00.66\00:16:04.26
THAT ARE CHRIST'S, AT HIS
COMING' - THAT'S WHEN THEY COME
00:16:04.29\00:16:06.83
BACK TO LIFE. IF
THAT'S CLEAR SAY 'AMEN.'
00:16:06.86\00:16:08.90
>>AMEN. >>THAT'S SO CLEAR TO ME.
00:16:08.93\00:16:10.53
JESUS MADE IT SO CLEAR, HE SAID,
'OUR FRIEND LAZARUS IS ASLEEP.'
00:16:10.57\00:16:15.54
AND THEN HE LATER EXPLAINED,
WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAID, 'WELL
00:16:15.57\00:16:17.57
GOOD, HE'S SICK - SLEEP, THAT'LL
BE GOOD FOR HIM.' HE SAID, 'NO,
00:16:17.61\00:16:19.61
NO, LAZARUS IS DEAD.'
JESUS SAID, 'I'M SPEAKING IN
00:16:19.64\00:16:22.01
SYMBOLIC TERMS.
LAZARUS IS DEAD.'
00:16:22.04\00:16:25.68
LATER HE GOES TO THE TOMB TO
RAISE LAZARUS - HE'D BEEN DEAD
00:16:25.71\00:16:29.32
FOUR DAYS AND MARTHA WANTED
TO - SHE SAID, 'LORD, IT'S NOT
00:16:29.35\00:16:34.89
GOING TO BE PLEASANT.' HE
SAID, 'ROLL AWAY THE STONE.'
00:16:34.92\00:16:37.09
AND SHE SAID, 'BY THIS
TIME THERE'S A BAD SMELL
00:16:37.13\00:16:38.99
BECAUSE HE'S
BEEN DEAD FOUR DAYS.
00:16:39.03\00:16:40.33
YOU KNOW IT'S SO - DEATH IS NOT
A PRETTY THING.' AND HE SAID,
00:16:40.36\00:16:44.67
'HE'S NOT GOING TO SMELL.' 'IT'S
GOING TO BE AWFUL, LORD.' HE
00:16:44.70\00:16:46.70
SAID, 'ROLL AWAY THE STONE.
TRUST ME.' WHEN THEY ROLLED AWAY
00:16:46.74\00:16:48.80
THE STONE IT PROBABLY STUNK WHEN
THEY DID. BUT THEN JESUS SAID -
00:16:48.84\00:16:52.91
'WHEN HE SAID THESE THINGS
HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE,
00:16:52.94\00:16:55.61
'LAZARUS COME FORTH.'' ALL
OF A SUDDEN, IN THE DARK OPENING
00:16:55.64\00:17:00.18
OF THAT TOMB, THIS FIGURE
CAME WADDLING OUT, BOUND UP WITH
00:17:00.22\00:17:04.02
THESE MUMMY-LIKE CLOTHS
AND JESUS SAID, 'LOOSE HIM.'
00:17:04.05\00:17:08.19
LAZARUS WAS ALIVE.
NOW HERE'S A QUESTION:
00:17:08.22\00:17:11.43
A LOT OF THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD TEACHES
00:17:11.46\00:17:13.56
TODAY THAT WHEN YOU DIE YOU GO
RIGHT TO HEAVEN OR HELL - BEFORE
00:17:13.60\00:17:16.30
THE JUDGMENT,
BEFORE THE RESURRECTION.
00:17:16.33\00:17:17.90
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT?
THAT IS A FALSE TEACHING.
00:17:17.93\00:17:21.54
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
POPULAR IT IS, IT IS UNBIBLICAL.
00:17:21.57\00:17:24.34
AND, IF NOTHING ELSE,
USE YOUR HEAD - THINK.
00:17:24.37\00:17:27.78
THERE ARE ABOUT TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:27.81\00:17:30.58
IF ONE PERSON WAS RESURRECTED
IN THE WORLD TODAY - A BONA FIDE
00:17:30.61\00:17:35.42
RESURRECTION - DEAD AND BURIED
FOUR DAYS, DOCTORS DECLARED THEM
00:17:35.45\00:17:38.32
DEAD - DEAD, DEAD, DEAD - COLD,
LIFELESS, DEAD - NO BRAIN WAVES
00:17:38.35\00:17:42.86
- BURIED HIM. FOUR
DAYS LATER THEY OPEN THE
00:17:42.89\00:17:45.03
GRAVE, THEY STINK, AND ALL OF
A SUDDEN THEY COME BACK TO LIFE.
00:17:45.06\00:17:48.26
WOULD YOU HAVE EVERY NEWS AGENCY
IN THE WORLD SENDING REPORTERS -
00:17:48.30\00:17:54.00
AND THEY WOULD BE SHOVING
MICROPHONES IN THEIR FACE AND
00:17:54.04\00:17:56.77
SAYING, 'WHAT WAS IT LIKE ON THE
OTHER SIDE? WHAT DID YOU SEE?
00:17:56.81\00:18:00.44
WHAT DID YOU EXPERIENCE?' RIGHT?
00:18:00.48\00:18:03.38
HOW COME, OUT OF THE TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE, NOT
00:18:03.41\00:18:07.18
ONE OF THEM EVER COMMENTS ON
WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED IN DEATH?
00:18:07.22\00:18:11.99
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
EXPERIENCE ANYTHING!
00:18:12.02\00:18:15.19
I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE? WHAT
A DIRTY TRICK THAT WOULD BE.
00:18:15.22\00:18:17.99
HERE LAZARUS DIES - HE'S UP
IN HEAVEN. HE'S WITH THE ANGELS.
00:18:18.03\00:18:20.96
HE'S GETTING - REACHING OUT FOR
THE TREE OF LIFE AND ALL OF A
00:18:21.00\00:18:23.13
SUDDEN - POOF! - HE'S
BACK IN GRAVE CLOTHES.
00:18:23.16\00:18:25.80
'THANKS JESUS, I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT.' 'YEAH, I
00:18:25.83\00:18:29.04
THOUGHT I'D RAISE YOU 'CAUSE
YOU'RE MY FRIEND - BRING YOU
00:18:29.07\00:18:31.44
BACK, GIVE YOU YOUR OLD BODY
AGAIN.' WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN -
00:18:31.47\00:18:34.84
OR, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF HE
WAS BURNING IN HELL AND JESUS
00:18:34.88\00:18:37.75
BROUGHT HIM BACK HE'D
SAY, 'OH BOY, IT WAS HOT.
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.15
THANKS A LOT!' BUT HE
MAKES NO COMMENT AT ALL
00:18:40.18\00:18:42.95
ABOUT ANYTHING. WHY?
BECAUSE THEY KNEW BACK THEN THE
00:18:42.98\00:18:45.52
DEAD DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING. THEY'RE ASLEEP.
00:18:45.55\00:18:47.69
IT'S A DREAMLESS
UNCONSCIOUS SLEEP.
00:18:47.72\00:18:49.42
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW POPULAR
THE OTHER TEACHINGS ARE, THEY'RE
00:18:49.46\00:18:53.16
NOT BIBLICAL, FRIENDS.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RIGHTEOUS
00:18:53.19\00:18:56.56
DEAD AT THE SECOND COMING OF
JESUS? IT SAYS IN 1 CORINTHIANS
00:18:56.60\00:19:00.50
15, 'WE'LL BE CHANGED IN A
MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF
00:19:00.54\00:19:03.67
AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET'
- SPEAKING OF THE TRUMP WHEN THE
00:19:03.71\00:19:06.57
LORD DESCENDS - 'FOR THE TRUMPET
WILL SOUND AND THE DEAD WILL BE
00:19:06.61\00:19:09.74
RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE.' -
SPEAKING OF THE SAVED DEAD.
00:19:09.78\00:19:14.18
THEY'RE THE ONES IN THE
FIRST RESURRECTION - 'FOR THIS
00:19:14.22\00:19:16.69
CORRUPTIBLE' - THIS OLD BODY IS
NOT GOING TO BE THERE - 'IT MUST
00:19:16.72\00:19:19.52
PUT ON INCORRUPTION' -
THE GLORIFIED BODY - 'AND THIS
00:19:19.55\00:19:22.49
MORTAL' - WE'RE MORTAL NOW -
'WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.' WHEN
00:19:22.52\00:19:26.06
DO WE GET IMMORTALITY?
WHEN THE LORD COMES.
00:19:26.09\00:19:29.70
OUR BODIES AREN'T IMMORTAL YET.
WHAT WAS THE DEVIL'S FIRST LIE?
00:19:29.73\00:19:33.87
FIRST LIE THAT THE DEVIL
TOLD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:19:33.90\00:19:36.67
HE SAID TO EVE, 'YOU SHALL NOT
SURELY DIE.' GOD SAID, 'YOU EAT
00:19:36.71\00:19:41.64
THE FORBIDDEN
FRUIT AND YOU'LL DIE.'
00:19:41.68\00:19:43.38
THERE'S TWO CHOICES
THAT GOD HAS GIVEN PEOPLE.
00:19:43.41\00:19:45.61
HE 'SO LOVED THE WORLD HE
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
00:19:45.65\00:19:48.48
WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM MIGHT
NOT PERISH' - DIE - 'BUT HAVE
00:19:48.52\00:19:52.25
EVERLASTING LIFE.'
IT'S LIFE OR DEATH.
00:19:52.29\00:19:54.86
THAT'S WHAT SALVATION'S
ALL ABOUT - LIFE OR DEATH.
00:19:54.89\00:19:56.83
'HE THAT HAS THE SON HAS LIFE;
HE THAT HAS NOT THE SON HAS NOT
00:19:56.86\00:19:59.69
LIFE.' YOU SEE, THE DEVIL SAYS,
'YOU EITHER LIVE FOREVER IN HELL
00:19:59.73\00:20:03.53
OR YOU LIVE FOREVER IN HEAVEN
BECAUSE YOU'RE IMMORTAL.' THE
00:20:03.57\00:20:06.77
BIBLE DOESN'T TEACH THAT.
WE'VE GOT LIFE OR DEATH THAT WE
00:20:06.80\00:20:09.47
GET TO CHOOSE. THE
DRAGON SAID, 'YOU'LL NOT
00:20:09.50\00:20:12.54
REALLY DIE, YOU'LL BE
TRANSFORMED INTO A GHOST OR
00:20:12.57\00:20:16.11
YOU'LL BE REINCARNATED.'
HE'S GOT ALL THESE OTHER
00:20:16.14\00:20:17.91
THEORIES. 'THAT
OLD SERPENT CALLED THE
00:20:17.95\00:20:20.55
DEVIL AND SATAN WHO DECEIVES THE
WHOLE WORLD.' HE'S A SERPENT.
00:20:20.58\00:20:25.22
THAT'S WHAT THE DRAGON SAID
TO EVE, 'YOU DON'T REALLY DIE.'
00:20:25.25\00:20:27.72
DOES THE DEVIL STILL SAY
THAT TODAY? YOU KNOW WHAT'S SAD?
00:20:27.76\00:20:31.79
THE DEVIL IS SAYING IT TODAY
THROUGH MANY PULPITS AROUND THE
00:20:31.83\00:20:33.76
WORLD - THAT PEOPLE DON'T REALLY
DIE, THEY TURN INTO GHOSTS OR
00:20:33.80\00:20:38.57
SPIRITS OR ANGELS OR
THEY'RE REINCARNATED, OR THEY'RE
00:20:38.60\00:20:41.50
CHANNELED SOMEWHERE ELSE IN SOME
OTHER UNIVERSE AND THERE'S NO
00:20:41.54\00:20:45.21
LIMIT TO THE THEORIES.
QUESTION #8: WHY DID THE DEVIL
00:20:45.24\00:20:49.38
LIE TO EVE ABOUT DEATH?
COULD THIS SUBJECT BE MORE
00:20:49.41\00:20:53.75
IMPORTANT THAN
MANY PEOPLE THINK?
00:20:53.78\00:20:56.48
'AND WHEN THEY SAY UNTO YOU,
'SEEK THOSE THAT HAVE MEDIUMS
00:20:56.52\00:20:59.79
AND WIZARDS WHO WHISPER AND
MUTTER,' - PEOPLE GO TO GET A
00:20:59.82\00:21:04.33
SOOTHSAYER - THEY GO TO GET
SOMEONE WHO WILL CHANNEL - AN
00:21:04.36\00:21:07.73
OCCULTIST - A MEDIUM - TO CALL
BACK THE DEAD - TO COMMUNICATE.
00:21:07.76\00:21:11.93
GOD SAYS, 'SHOULD NOT
A PEOPLE SEEK THEIR GOD?
00:21:11.97\00:21:15.27
SHOULD THEY SEEK THE
DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING?'
00:21:15.30\00:21:17.84
GOD IS SAYING, 'WHY ARE YOU
TRYING TO TALK TO THE DEAD?'
00:21:17.87\00:21:21.24
AND YET OUR CULTURE
IS JUST FULL OF THIS.
00:21:21.28\00:21:24.25
"SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE
FAITH," - PAUL SAID - 1 TIMOTHY
00:21:24.28\00:21:27.82
4:1 - "GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING
SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF
00:21:27.85\00:21:32.05
DEVILS;" A LOT OF PEOPLE ON OUR
WORLD - EVEN IN OUR CHURCHES -
00:21:32.09\00:21:35.46
THAT HAVE BEEN SEDUCED BY
SPIRITS - THEY'RE DECEIVED - AND
00:21:35.49\00:21:38.46
THEY SAY, 'WELL, I KNOW WHAT
THE BIBLE SAYS, BUT I HAD THIS
00:21:38.49\00:21:41.26
SPIRIT TELL ME.' A LOT OF
FOLKS - AND SOME WHO DON'T EVEN
00:21:41.30\00:21:45.37
BELIEVE IN GOD,
SOMEHOW BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
00:21:45.40\00:21:47.07
YOU HELP ME FIGURE THAT OUT.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD BUT
00:21:47.10\00:21:49.77
THEY BELIEVE THE DEAD,
SOMEHOW, CAN COMMUNICATE.
00:21:49.80\00:21:52.64
THEY BELIEVE IN
SPIRITISM IS WHAT IT IS.
00:21:52.67\00:21:55.84
LIFE AFTER DEATH.
SCIENTISTS SEARCH FOR THE
00:21:55.88\00:22:00.75
MEANING OF
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES.
00:22:00.78\00:22:02.52
YOU'VE HEARD OF
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES?
00:22:02.55\00:22:04.02
SOMETIMES THEY'RE CALLED 'NDES'.
00:22:04.05\00:22:07.12
A PERSON DIES ON THE OPERATING
TABLE - OSTENSIBLY DIES -
00:22:07.16\00:22:11.69
SUPPOSEDLY THEY DIE - THEIR
HEART STOPS BEATING - AND SO THE
00:22:11.73\00:22:15.06
BRAIN IS NOT GETTING OXYGEN AND
THEN THEY HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE
00:22:15.10\00:22:18.13
WHERE THEY COME OUT OF THEIR
BODY AND THEY THEN BEGIN TO
00:22:18.17\00:22:21.00
HOVER ABOVE THE OPERATING TABLE
AND THEY CAN KIND OF HEAR WHAT'S
00:22:21.04\00:22:23.84
GOING ON AND THEY'RE HAVING
ALL KINDS OF WEIRD EXPERIENCES.
00:22:23.87\00:22:28.94
SOME DOCTORS DID SOME RESEARCH
ON THIS, REGARDING CARBON
00:22:28.98\00:22:33.62
DIOXIDE AND OUT OF BODY
EXPERIENCES - OBES, HERE.
00:22:33.65\00:22:38.42
IN ONE EXPERIMENT, DOCTOR
LADISLAS MEDUNA ADMINISTERED 30
00:22:38.45\00:22:43.59
PERCENT CARBON DIOXIDE AND
70 PERCENT OXYGEN TO A SUBJECT.
00:22:43.63\00:22:47.93
AFTERWARD THE SUBJECT STATED,
'I FELT AS THOUGH I WAS LOOKING
00:22:47.96\00:22:51.27
DOWN AT MYSELF - AS THOUGH
I WAS WAY OUT HERE IN SPACE.
00:22:51.30\00:22:55.10
I FELT SORT OF SEPARATED.'
WELL THE GUY DIDN'T DIE.
00:22:55.14\00:22:58.71
YOU SHOW ME SOMEONE GETS THEIR
HEAD CUT OFF AND COMES BACK.
00:22:58.74\00:23:01.41
(LAUGHTER) I'LL BE IMPRESSED.
THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENS.
00:23:01.44\00:23:03.95
THEIR HEART STOPS BEATING
IS TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS.
00:23:03.98\00:23:06.75
DO DEVILS REALLY WORK MIRACLES?
IT SAYS, 'FOR THEY ARE THE
00:23:06.78\00:23:11.35
SPIRITS OF DEVILS WORKING
MIRACLES.' AND AGAIN HE SAYS,
00:23:11.39\00:23:16.26
'I WILL GO FORTH AND I'LL BE A
LYING SPIRIT IN THE MOUTH OF HIS
00:23:16.29\00:23:20.93
PROPHETS.' CAN DEVILS PERFORM
SIGNS AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES?
00:23:20.96\00:23:24.47
>>YES. >>CAN THEY DECEIVE?
00:23:24.50\00:23:27.47
IT SAYS, 'THERE WILL ARISE IN
THE LAST DAYS FALSE CHRISTS AND
00:23:27.50\00:23:31.44
FALSE PROPHETS
AND THEY' - DO WHAT?
00:23:31.47\00:23:33.94
- 'THEY SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND
WONDERS INASMUCH THAT IF IT WERE
00:23:33.98\00:23:37.85
POSSIBLE THEY WOULD DECEIVE EVEN
THE VERY ELECT.' GOD IS SAYING,
00:23:37.88\00:23:40.75
'LOOK, I'VE TOLD YOU
BEFOREHAND.' SO WHY DO WE NEED
00:23:40.78\00:23:43.52
TO UNDERSTAND THIS
SUBJECT IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:23:43.55\00:23:46.42
BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS GOING TO
USE THE MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT
00:23:46.45\00:23:49.29
DEATH TO DECEIVE MANY PEOPLE.
"BY THY SORCERIES" - REVELATION
00:23:49.32\00:23:54.36
18:23 - "WERE ALL NATIONS
DECEIVED." I HEARD A STORY ABOUT
00:23:54.40\00:24:01.27
A WOMAN WHO WAS, I THINK, LIVING
IN SAN FRANCISCO AT THE TIME,
00:24:01.30\00:24:05.27
DURING THE VIETNAM WAR.
SHE HAD A SON OVER THERE.
00:24:05.31\00:24:10.01
THE SON WAS NOT A
CHRISTIAN - ANYTHING BUT.
00:24:10.05\00:24:13.78
AND THEN ONE DAY SHE GOT A
VERY TRAGIC NOTE IN THE MAIL.
00:24:13.82\00:24:17.55
IT SAID - WHEN SHE OPENED IT UP
SHE STARTED TO SHAKE BECAUSE SHE
00:24:17.59\00:24:20.76
KNEW IT WAS FROM
THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
00:24:20.79\00:24:22.66
IT SAID, 'WE REGRET TO INFORM
YOU THAT YOUR SON IS MISSING IN
00:24:22.69\00:24:26.23
ACTION AND PRESUMED DEAD.' OH,
SHE WAS JUST TOTALLY DEVASTATED
00:24:26.26\00:24:29.96
- HER ONLY SON AND IT REALLY
HURT HER BECAUSE SHE WAS A GOOD
00:24:30.00\00:24:32.10
CHRISTIAN AND, BY ALL OUTWARD
EXPERIENCE IT SEEMED LIKE HE HAD
00:24:32.13\00:24:37.44
DIED LOST. AND THEN
ONE DAY, WHILE SHE WAS
00:24:37.47\00:24:41.18
IN HER BEDROOM WEEPING, ALL OF
A SUDDEN HER SON APPEARED AND HE
00:24:41.21\00:24:47.68
WAS THERE AND HE SAID, 'MOM' -
AND HE'S IN THIS GLOWING ROBE -
00:24:47.72\00:24:50.52
HE SAID, 'I'VE SEEN
YOU. I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU.
00:24:50.55\00:24:52.59
YOU'RE CRYING OVER ME AND YOU
DON'T NEED TO CRY ANYMORE.' HE
00:24:52.62\00:24:54.42
SAID, 'I'M OKAY.' AND SO
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
00:24:54.46\00:24:57.96
SHE SAID, 'SON' - SHE WENT TO
LUNGE FOR HIM AND HUG HIM AND HE
00:24:57.99\00:25:00.80
SAID, 'YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME.' - HE
SAID - 'BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
00:25:00.83\00:25:04.10
THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY.'
'BUT YOU AREN'T A CHRISTIAN.' HE
00:25:04.13\00:25:06.37
SAID, 'GOD IS MERCIFUL.
HE SAVES EVERYBODY.' AND SHE
00:25:06.40\00:25:10.37
SAID, 'WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT
THE BIBLE SAYS.' 'WELL, THESE
00:25:10.41\00:25:12.34
WARNINGS ARE IN THE BIBLE TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LIVE RIGHT,
00:25:12.37\00:25:15.94
BUT GOD IS MERCIFUL.
NOBODY'S GOING TO HELL.
00:25:15.98\00:25:17.91
NO ONE WILL BE LOST.' AND
HE BEGAN TO TELL HER ALL THESE
00:25:17.95\00:25:19.91
THINGS THAT WERE CONTRADICTING
THE BIBLE AND SHE WAS SO
00:25:19.95\00:25:22.82
CONFUSED. AND HE
APPEARED TO HER SEVERAL
00:25:22.85\00:25:25.55
TIMES AND IT MADE
HER FEEL GOOD TO SEE HIM.
00:25:25.59\00:25:28.09
IT GAVE HER COMFORT TO SEE THIS
APPARITION BUT SHE WAS SO - AND
00:25:28.12\00:25:31.13
SHE WAS A LEADER IN HER CHURCH.
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:25:31.16\00:25:34.76
AND THEN ONE DAY SHE HEARD A
KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND SHE OPENED
00:25:34.83\00:25:36.63
THE DOOR AND THERE'S HER
SON AGAIN, EXCEPT NOW HE'S IN A
00:25:36.67\00:25:39.23
UNIFORM AND HIS
ARM IS IN A SLING.
00:25:39.27\00:25:41.87
AND SHE SAID, 'WHY ARE YOU
APPEARING AT THE DOOR AND WHY
00:25:41.90\00:25:44.67
ARE YOU WEARING THIS UNIFORM?'
AND HE SAID, 'MOM, WHAT ARE YOU
00:25:44.71\00:25:46.44
TALKING ABOUT?
AREN'T YOU GLAD TO SEE ME?'
00:25:46.47\00:25:48.94
IT WAS HER REAL SON.
HE WASN'T REALLY DEAD.
00:25:48.98\00:25:53.75
EVIDENTLY, THE DEVILS GOT -
THEIR COMPUTER SOFTWARE CRASHED
00:25:53.78\00:25:56.15
OR SOMETHING. THEY
MESSED UP AND THEY STARTED
00:25:56.18\00:25:57.49
IMPERSONATING HER SON
AND HE WASN'T REALLY DEAD.
00:25:57.52\00:26:00.32
SHE SAW SOMETHING,
BUT IT WASN'T HER SON.
00:26:00.36\00:26:04.03
AND HE HAD BEEN WORKING ON HER
TO DECEIVE HER ABOUT WHAT THE
00:26:04.06\00:26:07.50
BIBLE REALLY SAID, ERODING
THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE.
00:26:07.56\00:26:11.13
ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR THE BIBLE
TRUTH THAT TEACHES US THE TRUTH
00:26:11.17\00:26:15.94
ON THIS
SENSITIVE SUBJECT OF DEATH?
00:26:15.97\00:26:18.47
YOU KNOW, I'M SO GLAD YOU CAN
SAY WITH THE APOSTLE PAUL THAT
00:26:18.51\00:26:22.38
'I MIGHT KNOW HIM AND THE POWER
OF HIS RESURRECTION.' JESUS
00:26:22.41\00:26:26.41
SAID, 'I AM HE THAT LIVES.
I WAS DEAD AND BEHOLD, I AM
00:26:26.45\00:26:29.65
ALIVE FOREVERMORE.' AND
HE'S GOT THE KEYS OF DEATH
00:26:29.68\00:26:32.95
AND HELL. WE'RE
FINISHING WHERE WE
00:26:32.99\00:26:34.29
STARTED. HE'S GOT
THOSE KEYS OF LIFE AND
00:26:34.32\00:26:35.89
HE'S OFFERING
THEM TO YOU AND ME.
00:26:35.92\00:26:38.63
THAT'S GOOD NEWS, FRIENDS.
NOBODY'S UP THERE HAUNTING YOU.
00:26:38.66\00:26:42.76
PEOPLE DON'T GET THEIR REWARDS
UNTIL THE LORD COMES BACK.
00:26:42.80\00:26:46.53
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT BECAUSE
JESUS ROSE AGAIN, WE CAN RISE
00:26:46.57\00:26:49.77
AGAIN. HE IS THE
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
00:26:49.80\00:26:52.37
IF YOU'VE GOT
JESUS, YOU'VE GOT LIFE.
