>> NOW I LIKE TO
START WITH AN AMAZING FACT.
00:00:57.63\00:01:01.10
I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE EVER HEARD OF BARRON
00:01:01.10\00:01:03.60
FABIAN VON SCHLABRENDORFF.
00:01:03.60\00:01:06.93
THIS FELLOW HERE, YOU
SEE HIS NAME ON THE SCREEN?
00:01:06.93\00:01:11.46
A VERY INTERESTING STORY.
00:01:11.46\00:01:12.63
HE BEGAN AS AN ATTORNEY
BORN IN 1907 IN GERMANY.
00:01:12.63\00:01:16.73
AS THE WAR BROKE OUT, BECAUSE
OF HIS INTELLIGENCE, THEY
00:01:16.73\00:01:19.40
GRABBED HIM AND ADVANCED
HIM QUICKLY THROUGH THE GERMAN
00:01:19.40\00:01:21.56
RANKS.
00:01:21.56\00:01:22.50
BUT HE WAS A BRIGHT
MAN, A RELIGIOUS MAN,
00:01:22.50\00:01:25.16
AND HE RECOGNIZED THAT HITLER
WAS INSANE AND THAT HE WAS
00:01:25.16\00:01:29.43
DESTROYING GERMANY
AND MUCH OF EUROPE.
00:01:29.43\00:01:32.33
HE BECAME PART OF THE
UNDERGROUND AND THE RESISTANCE
00:01:32.33\00:01:35.26
AND EVENTUALLY THEY
DISCOVERED WHERE HE STOOD.
00:01:35.26\00:01:38.10
HE WAS CAPTURED, HE WAS
TORTURED, HE WOULD NOT TELL THEM
00:01:38.10\00:01:41.33
ANYTHING, THEY TOOK
HIM TO A NAZI COURT AND HAD
00:01:41.33\00:01:45.46
A MOCK TRIAL.
00:01:45.46\00:01:46.60
THEY'D ACCUSED HIM OF ATTEMPTING
TO ASSASSINATE HITLER,
00:01:46.60\00:01:49.60
WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN TRUE.
00:01:49.60\00:01:51.56
THEY PRONOUNCED HIM GUILTY
AND AS THEY WERE MARCHING HIM
00:01:51.56\00:01:54.03
OUT TO BE EXECUTED,
THERE WAS AN AIR RAID SIREN.
00:01:54.03\00:01:59.66
AND BEFORE PEOPLE COULD EVEN GO
TO COVER, A BOMB MADE A DIRECT
00:01:59.66\00:02:03.53
HIT ON THE COURT HOUSE.
00:02:03.53\00:02:05.66
EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN
THE TRIAL WAS KILLED, EXCEPT
00:02:05.66\00:02:10.40
BARRON VON SCHLABRENDORFF.
00:02:10.40\00:02:14.50
HE SURVIVED, UNHURT.
00:02:14.50\00:02:17.16
AND HE MANAGED
TO SURVIVE THE WAR.
00:02:17.16\00:02:19.50
BEYOND THAT, THAT DAY
EVERYTHING TURNED AROUND.
00:02:19.50\00:02:24.16
HE CAME BACK AND HE SERVED AS
A JUDGE IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAD
00:02:24.16\00:02:26.53
CONDEMNED HIM TO BE
EXECUTED; LIVED UNTIL 1980.
00:02:26.53\00:02:31.43
TALK ABOUT A
REVERSAL OF FORTUNE.
00:02:31.43\00:02:34.03
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
DESCRIBES THE DAY OF THE LORD.
00:02:34.03\00:02:38.23
I THINK YOU'LL PROBABLY FIND,
30, 35 TIMES WHERE THIS PHRASE
00:02:38.23\00:02:42.13
OR SOMETHING SIMILAR
IS USED IN THE BIBLE.
00:02:42.13\00:02:44.93
AND IT'S USED TO DESCRIBE THAT
LAST DAY OF THE WORLD'S HISTORY
00:02:44.93\00:02:48.03
WHEN PROBATION
CLOSES FOR PLANET EARTH.
00:02:48.03\00:02:51.90
AND JESUS COMES
TO RESCUE HIS PEOPLE.
00:02:51.90\00:02:54.60
HE COMES AT A MOMENT WHEN IT
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO BE
00:02:54.60\00:02:56.96
ANNIHILATED, BUT AT THE LAST
MOMENT THE TABLES ARE TOTALLY
00:02:56.96\00:02:59.86
TURNED AND OUR ENEMIES ARE
DESTROYED AND WE ARE VINDICATED
00:02:59.86\00:03:03.66
AND RESCUED.
00:03:03.66\00:03:05.16
QUESTION NUMBER ONE:
WHAT IS THE DAY OF THE LORD?
00:03:05.16\00:03:08.90
I'VE GOT ANOTHER VERSE,
ISAIAH 2:12, "FOR THE DAY OF
00:03:08.90\00:03:13.00
THE LORD OF HOSTS SHALL COME
UPON EVERYTHING PROUD AND LOFTY,
00:03:13.00\00:03:17.43
UPON EVERYTHING LIFTED UP,
AND IT SHALL BE BROUGHT LOW."
00:03:17.43\00:03:21.46
YOU SEE, AT THE END,
THERE'S GONNA BE A WAR.
00:03:21.46\00:03:23.56
THIS DAY OF THE LORD IS
ALSO SYNONYMOUS WITH THE BATTLE
00:03:23.56\00:03:25.70
OF ARMAGEDDON.
00:03:25.70\00:03:27.06
AND THIS BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
IS NOT A WAR BETWEEN CHINA
00:03:27.06\00:03:31.13
AND RUSSIA AND THE U.S.
00:03:31.13\00:03:32.56
AND IRAN OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
00:03:32.56\00:03:35.40
FINALLY THE WHOLE WORLD IS GONNA
BE POLARIZED INTO TWO GROUPS:
00:03:35.40\00:03:38.73
THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN GOD
AND HIS WORD AND ARE WILLING TO
00:03:38.73\00:03:41.20
STAND ON THE ROCK OF TRUTH AND
THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE BEAST AND
00:03:41.20\00:03:45.00
HIS IMAGE AND ARE FOLLOWING THIS
MANMADE RELIGION OF TRADITIONS.
00:03:45.00\00:03:49.66
WHEN THE WORLD BEGAN, THERE WERE
TWO BROTHERS, THEY BOTH CLAIMED
00:03:49.66\00:03:53.16
TO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.
00:03:53.16\00:03:55.56
THEY DID IT DIFFERENTLY, ONE DID
IT HIS WAY, HE WAS NOT ACCEPTED
00:03:55.56\00:03:59.43
BY THE LORD, ONE DID IT
GOD'S WAY, HE WAS ACCEPTED.
00:03:59.43\00:04:03.70
AND THE ONE WHO DID IT THE WRONG
WAY PERSECUTED THE ONE WHO DID
00:04:03.70\00:04:06.76
IT THE RIGHT WAY.
00:04:06.76\00:04:07.66
THAT IS GONNA BE
REPEATED IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:04:07.66\00:04:11.60
"DRAGON WAS ENRAGED WITH
A WOMAN," REVELATION 12:17,
00:04:11.60\00:04:15.33
"AND HE WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH
THE REST OF HER OFFSPRING WHO
00:04:15.33\00:04:19.86
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND
HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS."
00:04:19.86\00:04:23.16
THIS IS GOD'S CHURCH IN
THE LAST DAYS, THERE WILL BE
00:04:23.16\00:04:25.46
AN ALL OUT WAR AGAINST
THOSE WHO STAND FOR THE TRUTH.
00:04:25.46\00:04:29.16
I HOPE YOU'RE WILLING, FRIENDS,
TO STAND ON THE ROCK OF GOD'S
00:04:29.16\00:04:31.63
WORD AND NOT BE AFRAID.
00:04:31.63\00:04:32.83
'CAUSE YOU WILL NOT STAND ALONE,
JESUS WILL STAND WITH YOU.
00:04:32.83\00:04:36.56
REVELATION 13:7: "IT
WAS GRANTED HIM TO MAKE WAR
00:04:36.56\00:04:39.80
WITH THE SAINTS."
00:04:39.80\00:04:41.50
THIS IS THE LAST BATTLE,
IT'S NOT A POLITICAL WAR,
00:04:41.50\00:04:43.80
IT'S A SPIRITUAL WAR
BETWEEN THOSE WHO WORSHIP GOD
00:04:43.80\00:04:46.46
AND FOLLOW HIS WORD
AND THOSE WHO DON'T.
00:04:46.46\00:04:48.70
REVELATION 17:13-14: "THESE ARE
OF ONE MIND AND THEY WILL GIVE
00:04:48.70\00:04:54.10
THEIR POWER AND
AUTHORITY TO THE BEAST.
00:04:54.10\00:04:56.60
THESE WILL MAKE
WAR WITH THE LAMB."
00:04:56.60\00:04:59.96
SO, WHENEVER ANYONE MAKES
WAR WITH GOD'S CHILDREN, THEY'RE
00:04:59.96\00:05:03.16
REALLY MAKING WAR WITH WHO?
00:05:03.16\00:05:04.50
THE LAMB.
00:05:04.50\00:05:05.90
JESUS SAID,
"WHOEVER TOUCHES YOU TOUCHES
00:05:05.90\00:05:07.36
THE APPLE OF MY EYE."
00:05:07.36\00:05:09.23
"THEY'LL MAKE WAR WITH THE
LAMB AND THE LAMB WILL OVERCOME
00:05:09.23\00:05:11.06
THEM."
00:05:11.06\00:05:12.66
BUT IN THIS MEETING, MOST
CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT JESUS
00:05:12.66\00:05:14.70
IS COMING.
00:05:14.70\00:05:15.93
MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE IN
THE SIGNS OF THE NEARNESS OF
00:05:15.93\00:05:18.36
HIS COMING.
00:05:18.36\00:05:19.53
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION
IN THE WORLD OUT THERE REGARDING
00:05:19.53\00:05:22.80
HOW JESUS IS COMING.
00:05:22.80\00:05:25.53
AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT
AND TALK ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE IF
00:05:25.53\00:05:28.73
YOU DO NOT ONLY UNDERSTAND
SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S
00:05:28.73\00:05:31.36
COMING, IF CHRIST BEGAN TELLING
US ABOUT HIS COMING BY SAYING,
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.63
"BEWARE OF FALSE CHRISTS AND
FALSE PROPHETS," HE'S TELLING US
00:05:34.63\00:05:39.03
THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR
DECEPTION IN THE LAST DAYS THAT
00:05:39.03\00:05:43.23
WILL FOOL MOST OF THE
WORLD REGARDING HIS COMING.
00:05:43.23\00:05:45.76
SATAN IS GOING TO
IMPERSONATE CHRIST COMING.
00:05:45.76\00:05:49.40
SO, ONE WAY WE CAN GUARD AGAINST
BEING DECEIVED IN THAT WAY IS
00:05:49.40\00:05:52.23
TO UNDERSTAND
SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING.
00:05:52.23\00:05:55.63
HERE'S A SLIDE THAT
QUICKLY ILLUSTRATES IT.
00:05:55.63\00:05:58.30
IN THE LAST DAYS JUST PRIOR
TO CHRIST'S COMING THERE'LL BE
00:05:58.30\00:06:01.36
A TRIBULATION.
00:06:01.36\00:06:02.80
IT'LL BE TWO SECTIONS, IT'LL
BE A SMALL TIME OF TROUBLE THEN
00:06:02.80\00:06:05.73
PROBATION CLOSES; BIG
TIME OF TROUBLE, THAT'S WHEN
00:06:05.73\00:06:08.66
THE PLAGUES FALL.
00:06:08.66\00:06:09.90
THERE'LL BE A DEATH DECREE
AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE, JUST LIKE
00:06:09.90\00:06:12.20
YOU HAD IN THE BOOK OF ESTHER.
00:06:12.20\00:06:13.93
BUT AT THE MOMENT WHEN IT LOOKS
LIKE GOD'S PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
00:06:13.93\00:06:16.26
BE DESTROYED, THE LORD COMES
TO DELIVER US IN THE DAY OF
00:06:16.26\00:06:19.90
THE LORD.
00:06:19.90\00:06:20.70
THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED BY
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING.
00:06:20.70\00:06:23.26
WE ARE CAUGHT UP TO
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
00:06:23.26\00:06:25.53
THEN WE SPEND 1,000 YEARS LIVING
AND REIGNING WITH CHRIST IN
00:06:25.53\00:06:29.03
THE MANSIONS HE'S PREPARED.
00:06:29.03\00:06:30.96
DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:06:30.96\00:06:31.73
HE SAYS, I GO TO
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
00:06:31.73\00:06:33.20
HE GOES UP, I'LL COME
RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF.
00:06:33.20\00:06:36.30
WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP
TO MEET HIM IN THE AIR.
00:06:36.30\00:06:38.93
WE GO AND LIVE AND
REIGN WITH HIM IN ETERNITY.
00:06:38.93\00:06:42.53
AND AT THE END OF THE
1,000 YEARS, THE NEW JERUSALEM
00:06:42.53\00:06:45.00
DESCENDS BACK DOWN TO EARTH,
THE MEEK INHERIT THE EARTH.
00:06:45.00\00:06:49.00
GOD PUNISHES THE WICKED IS
THE FINAL JUDGMENT, HE CREATES
00:06:49.00\00:06:52.33
A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
00:06:52.33\00:06:54.40
SO, THIS IS, I'M GIVING YOU
A VERY QUICK OVERVIEW OF THOSE
00:06:54.40\00:06:57.16
THINGS.
00:06:57.16\00:06:58.50
BUT ESPECIALLY IN RECENT YEARS,
A SCENARIO THAT USED TO BE
00:06:58.50\00:07:03.13
THE EXCEPTION HAS NOW BECOME
PREVALENT, BECAUSE PEOPLE DO NOT
00:07:03.13\00:07:05.60
STUDY FOR THEMSELVES.
00:07:05.60\00:07:07.46
AND FOLKS WANNA BELIEVE WHATEVER
IS SENSATIONAL AND POPULAR.
00:07:07.46\00:07:11.86
THIS WHOLE LEFT BEHIND SCENARIO
THAT HAS BEEN MADE SO POPULAR BY
00:07:11.86\00:07:17.13
A SERIES OF BOOKS BY TIM LAHAYE
AND JERRY JENKINS, AND MADE INTO
00:07:17.13\00:07:21.43
A VARIETY OF MOVIES HAS KINDA
TAKEN THE GENERIC CHRISTIAN
00:07:21.43\00:07:25.40
CHURCH BY STORM.
00:07:25.40\00:07:28.66
AND BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
NOT REALLY STUDYING BIBLICAL
00:07:28.66\00:07:32.13
THEOLOGY AND CHRONOLOGY,
ESCHATOLOGY IN DEPTH, THEY'RE
00:07:32.13\00:07:35.70
NOT DIGGING DEEP AND PUTTING
THEIR ROOTS DOWN ON THE ROCK,
00:07:35.70\00:07:39.46
THEY'RE BEING CAUGHT
UP IN THESE FANTASIES.
00:07:39.46\00:07:42.93
NOW, LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS
IS SO DANGEROUS, IT GIVES PEOPLE
00:07:42.93\00:07:47.40
THE IDEA THEY CAN
HAVE A SECOND CHANCE.
00:07:47.40\00:07:49.60
I'VE MET PEOPLE BEFORE WHO
BELIEVE IN THE SECRET RAPTURE
00:07:49.60\00:07:51.90
THEORY.
00:07:51.90\00:07:54.00
AND A HUSBAND FOR INSTANCE
WILL SAY, "WELL, DEAR, YOU KNOW,
00:07:54.00\00:07:57.76
I KNOW YOU'RE GOIN' TO CHURCH
AND YOU'RE TELLIN' ME ONE OF
00:07:57.76\00:07:59.73
THESE DAYS THAT
YOU'RE JUST GONNA DISAPPEAR."
00:07:59.73\00:08:01.80
HAVE YOU HEARD
FOLKS SAY THIS BEFORE?
00:08:01.80\00:08:03.23
PLANES ARE GONNA
CRASH, CARS ARE GONNA CRASH.
00:08:03.23\00:08:04.80
AND HE SAID, "YOU KNOW, IF YOU
DISAPPEAR, I MIGHT HAVE TO GO
00:08:04.80\00:08:08.90
THROUGH THAT 7 YEARS OF
TRIBULATION, BUT THEN AT LEAST
00:08:08.90\00:08:10.80
I'VE GOT 7 YEARS TO
GET MY ACT TOGETHER."
00:08:10.80\00:08:13.00
AND I'VE MET A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT THINK, WELL, I'M GONNA WAIT
00:08:13.00\00:08:15.16
AND SEE IF THIS
RAPTURE THING REALLY HAPPENS.
00:08:15.16\00:08:17.63
AND IF IT HAPPENS, WELL,
I'M NOT LOOKIN' FORWARD TO
00:08:17.63\00:08:20.10
THE TRIBULATION, BUT AT
LEAST I GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
00:08:20.10\00:08:24.20
AND THE DEVIL HAS DEVELOPED THIS
FALSE THEORY, BECAUSE HE LOVES
00:08:24.20\00:08:30.33
IT, IT MAKES PEOPLE THINK, OH,
I CAN JUST TAKE IT EASY AND WAIT
00:08:30.33\00:08:32.46
AND SEE IF THE RAPTURE HAPPENS.
00:08:32.46\00:08:34.86
YOU DON'T FIND SPURGEON
AND WESLEY AND WHITFIELD
00:08:34.86\00:08:37.50
AND THE GREAT REFORMERS
BELIEVING THIS NONSENSE.
00:08:37.50\00:08:40.63
PARDON ME, FRIENDS, I DON'T
WANNA BE DEROGATORY OR UNKIND,
00:08:40.63\00:08:42.36
BUT I HATE TO SEE FOLKS DECEIVED
AND THE DEVIL IS SETTING
00:08:42.36\00:08:45.03
PEOPLE UP.
00:08:45.03\00:08:46.16
THE TRIBULATION HAPPENS FIRST,
GOD DOES NOT SAVE HIS CHURCH
00:08:46.16\00:08:50.00
FROM TRIBULATION, HE
SAVES IT THROUGH TRIBULATION.
00:08:50.00\00:08:54.10
LET ME ASK YOU, THE TEN, I'M
SORRY, THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES
00:08:54.10\00:08:58.43
ARE SORT OF A PARALLEL FOR
THE TEN PLAGUES THAT FELL ON
00:08:58.43\00:09:01.70
ANCIENT EGYPT, RIGHT?
00:09:01.70\00:09:04.10
WERE GOD'S PEOPLE,
THE ISRAELITES, IN EGYPT
00:09:04.10\00:09:06.93
WHEN THE PLAGUES FELL?
00:09:06.93\00:09:08.53
YEAH, THEY WERE THERE
WHEN THE PLAGUES FELL.
00:09:08.53\00:09:11.30
DID HE PROTECT
THEM DURING THE PLAGUES?
00:09:11.30\00:09:13.26
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT
THE PLAGUES, NOT ONE BIT.
00:09:13.26\00:09:15.53
ONLY THING I WORRY
ABOUT IS, WILL I BE FAITHFUL?
00:09:15.53\00:09:18.40
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT
THE PLAGUES, I KNOW THAT
00:09:18.40\00:09:20.63
IF I'M ON GOD'S SIDE
HE'LL TAKE CARE OF US.
00:09:20.63\00:09:23.53
HE DIDN'T SAVE THEM FROM
THE PLAGUES, HE SAVED THEM
00:09:23.53\00:09:25.50
THROUGH THE PLAGUES.
00:09:25.50\00:09:27.06
PAUL SAYS, IT IS THROUGH
MUCH TRIBULATION WE MUST ENTER
00:09:27.06\00:09:29.63
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:09:29.63\00:09:30.76
GOD DID NOT SAVE NOAH FROM
THE FLOOD, HE SAVED HIM THROUGH
00:09:30.76\00:09:33.60
THE FLOOD.
00:09:33.60\00:09:34.56
HE WAS RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE OF IT.
00:09:34.56\00:09:36.43
HE DIDN'T SAVE DANIEL FROM
THE LION'S DEN, HE SAVED HIM
00:09:36.43\00:09:38.63
THROUGH IT.
00:09:38.63\00:09:39.60
HE SAVED SHADRACH, MESHACH,
AND ABEDNEGO THROUGH THE FIERY
00:09:39.60\00:09:41.96
FURNACE.
00:09:41.96\00:09:42.76
HE SAVED JOSEPH THROUGH
HIS TRIALS AND JOB THROUGH
00:09:42.76\00:09:44.83
HIS TRIALS.
00:09:44.83\00:09:46.43
THIS WHOLE IDEA THAT GOD LOVES
THE CHURCH TOO MUCH TO ALLOW HER
00:09:46.43\00:09:51.26
TO ENDURE ANY HEAT, HE'S
GONNA RAPTURE HER OUT BEFORE
00:09:51.26\00:09:54.23
THE TRIBULATION COMES,
SOUNDS ENTERTAINING AND WE
00:09:54.23\00:09:59.40
ALL LIKE CANDY, DON'T WE?
00:09:59.40\00:10:02.06
THAT'S ALL IT IS, IT'S
COTTON CANDY, IT'S NOT BIBLICAL.
00:10:02.06\00:10:04.16
AND BY THE WAY, REMEMBER WHAT
I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU, WHENEVER
00:10:04.16\00:10:06.20
YOU'RE IN DOUBT ABOUT
WHAT TO DO, DO WHAT'S SAFE.
00:10:06.20\00:10:08.90
MY VIEW IS SAFER, BE
READY FOR THE TRIBULATION.
00:10:08.90\00:10:12.30
IF WE ALL GET RAPTURED AND
WE MISS IT, I'LL APOLOGIZE.
00:10:12.30\00:10:15.50
[LAUGHING] BUT IF
YOU'RE THINKIN' THAT YOU
00:10:15.50\00:10:18.10
JUST CAN RELAX AND YOU DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
00:10:18.10\00:10:20.33
AND YOU'RE NOT FORTIFYING
YOUR FAITH AND YOUR MIND WITH
00:10:20.33\00:10:22.46
THE WORD OF GOD FOR THIS STORM
THAT'S COMING, YOU'RE THE ONE
00:10:22.46\00:10:25.60
WHO IS GONNA GET SWEPT AWAY
BECAUSE YOUR HOUSE IS NOT ROOTED
00:10:25.60\00:10:29.06
ON THE ROCK.
00:10:29.06\00:10:30.46
SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:10:30.46\00:10:33.83
WE WILL BE HERE, THE TRIBULATION
IS COMING BEFORE JESUS COMES,
00:10:33.83\00:10:37.06
'CAUSE HE COMES TO RESCUE US.
00:10:37.06\00:10:38.43
HE SAYS, "THE MIDNIGHT OF
THE WORLD, THE DARKEST HOUR."
00:10:38.43\00:10:41.50
THE CHURCH IS GONNA SHINE
THE BRIGHTEST WHEN THE WORLD IS
00:10:41.50\00:10:44.36
THE DARKEST, THAT'S
WHAT MAKES IT SO GLORIOUS.
00:10:44.36\00:10:50.26
1 THESSALONIANS 5:2-3, "FOR
YOU YOURSELVES KNOW PERFECTLY
00:10:50.26\00:10:54.70
THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD,"
REMEMBER THAT'S OUR TITLE,
00:10:54.70\00:10:59.10
"SO COMES AS A
THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
00:10:59.10\00:11:01.50
FOR WHEN THEY SAY
'PEACE AND SAFETY!'"
00:11:01.50\00:11:03.30
THIS WHOLE SECRET
RAPTURE SCENARIO IS ALL BASED ON
00:11:03.30\00:11:04.86
PEACE AND SAFETY.
00:11:04.86\00:11:06.30
"WHEN THEY SAY 'PEACE AND
SAFETY' THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION
00:11:06.30\00:11:08.66
COMES UPON
THEM, AS LABOR PAINS."
00:11:08.66\00:11:11.23
YOU REMEMBER?
00:11:11.23\00:11:11.76
HE'S QUOTING, NOW PAUL IS
QUOTING ISAIAH, WHAT I JUST
00:11:11.76\00:11:13.36
READ TO YOU IN CHAPTER 13.
00:11:13.36\00:11:14.90
"AS LABOR PAINS UPON A PREGNANT
WOMAN, THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE."
00:11:14.90\00:11:19.26
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN I TALK
ABOUT THE SIGNS THAT PERCEIVE
00:11:19.26\00:11:22.20
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS,
PEOPLE SAY, "OH, PASTOR DOUG,
00:11:22.20\00:11:25.20
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN
FAMINE, THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN WAR,
00:11:25.20\00:11:27.06
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN EARTHQUAKES,
THAT'S NO BIG DEAL."
00:11:27.06\00:11:30.23
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING
LIKE WHEN A WOMAN IS GONNA HAVE
00:11:30.23\00:11:33.56
A BABY, THIS IS THE
SCENARIO THE BIBLE USES.
00:11:33.56\00:11:38.16
AND DURING HER PREGNANCY
SHE MIGHT GET A FEW KICKS HERE
00:11:38.16\00:11:40.70
AND THERE AND A COUPLE
OF ACHES AND PAINS, RIGHT?
00:11:40.70\00:11:45.20
AND BUT THEN AS YOU GET
CLOSER TO THE DELIVERY TIME,
00:11:45.20\00:11:47.56
PRETTY SOON YOU HAVE
LABOR PAINS AND WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:11:47.56\00:11:50.46
YOU TELL THE DOCTOR,
"I'M HAVIN' LABOR PAINS."
00:11:50.46\00:11:52.06
HE SAYS, "HOW
FAR APART ARE THEY?"
00:11:52.06\00:11:53.96
"OH, THEY'RE 20 MINUTES APART!"
00:11:53.96\00:11:55.33
HE SAYS, "CALL ME WHEN
THEY'RE 5 MINUTES APART.
00:11:55.33\00:11:58.40
I'VE GOTTA GO GOLF."
00:11:58.40\00:12:00.50
[LAUGHING] AND
THE CLOSER THEY GET,
00:12:00.50\00:12:04.63
THE MORE INTENSE THEY GET,
THEY COME IN QUICKER DURATION
00:12:04.63\00:12:09.70
AND MORE INTENSITY
THEN YOU'VE GOT A BABY.
00:12:09.70\00:12:13.76
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE SIGNS
IN THE WORLD TODAY IS THEY'RE
00:12:13.76\00:12:16.40
COMING IN MORE RAPID SUCCESSION
AND WITH GREATER INTENSITY
00:12:16.40\00:12:19.93
AND GOD IS TELLING US,
"WAKE UP, IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN."
00:12:19.93\00:12:23.83
IT SAYS, "HE'S
COMING LIKE A THIEF."
00:12:23.83\00:12:27.06
I JUST READ THAT TO YOU IN
THESSALONIANS AND HERE IT IS
00:12:27.06\00:12:28.90
AGAIN IN 2 PETER 3:10,
"BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:12:28.90\00:12:34.10
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT."
00:12:34.10\00:12:35.46
STOP RIGHT THERE, PLEASE.
00:12:35.46\00:12:36.76
JUST, ALL RIGHT, WE'LL PUT
THAT BACK UP ON THE SCREEN,
00:12:36.76\00:12:38.73
BUT I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO ME.
00:12:38.73\00:12:39.76
A LOT OF
PREACHERS STOP RIGHT THERE.
00:12:39.76\00:12:41.63
"JESUS IS COMIN' LIKE A THIEF,
WE'RE GONNA BE CAUGHT UP TO
00:12:41.63\00:12:44.20
MEET HIM AND THOSE LEFT BEHIND."
00:12:44.20\00:12:46.43
THEY DON'T READ THE WHOLE VERSE.
00:12:46.43\00:12:48.60
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN JESUS COMES LIKE A THIEF TO
00:12:48.60\00:12:51.30
THOSE THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND.
00:12:51.30\00:12:52.86
TALKIN' ABOUT THE DAY OF THE
LORD, "THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:12:52.86\00:12:55.30
COME AS A THIEF IN THE
NIGHT, IN WHICH--" IN THAT DAY,
00:12:55.30\00:12:58.30
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS, "IN
WHICH THE HEAVENS PASS AWAY
00:12:58.30\00:13:00.96
WITH A GREAT NOISE,
THE ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH
00:13:00.96\00:13:03.93
FERVENT HEAT, BOTH THE EARTH
AND THE WORKS THAT ARE IN IT
00:13:03.93\00:13:07.13
WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:13:07.13\00:13:08.50
DOES IT SOUND LIKE LIFE GOES
ON FOR ANOTHER 7 YEARS AFTER
00:13:08.50\00:13:11.10
JESUS COMES LIKE A THIEF?
00:13:11.10\00:13:13.40
WHY DOES HE SAY
HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF?
00:13:13.40\00:13:16.43
I USED TO BE A THIEF
AND THE WHOLE IDEA WAS,
00:13:16.43\00:13:20.33
I DIDN'T ANNOUNCE IN
ADVANCE I WAS COMING.
00:13:20.33\00:13:23.43
I DIDN'T WANT THEM
TO KNOW I WAS COMING.
00:13:23.43\00:13:26.13
I WAS COMING FOR WHAT
WAS PRECIOUS AND IT WAS TO BE
00:13:26.13\00:13:27.76
A SURPRISE.
00:13:27.76\00:13:28.90
THEY KNEW AFTER I CAME, I CAME.
00:13:28.90\00:13:32.60
AND IT'S NOT SAYING THAT HE'S
GONNA COME SECRETLY AND LEAVE
00:13:32.60\00:13:35.03
AND FOLKS ARE GONNA GO,
YOU READ IN THE NEWSPAPER
00:13:35.03\00:13:36.86
THE NEXT DAY, "JESUS CAME."
00:13:36.86\00:13:40.53
REPORTS ARE CIRCULATING, RUMORS
ABOUND, SOMEONE'S GONNA CALL YOU
00:13:40.53\00:13:44.06
ON THE PHONE AND SAY, "DID
YOU HEAR THAT, JESUS CAME?"
00:13:44.06\00:13:47.10
THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S GONNA
HAPPEN, FRIENDS, EVERYBODY'S
00:13:47.10\00:13:48.96
GONNA KNOW.
00:13:48.96\00:13:49.66
"OUR GOD SHALL COME,
AND SHALL NOT KEEP SILENT.
00:13:49.66\00:13:54.06
IT SHALL BE VERY
TEMPESTUOUS ROUND ABOUT HIM."
00:13:54.06\00:13:58.30
AGAIN, 1 THESSALONIANS
4:16, "FOR THE LORD HIMSELF WILL
00:13:58.30\00:14:01.83
DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
WITH A SHOUT, WITH A VOICE OF
00:14:01.83\00:14:04.33
THE ARCHANGEL, WITH A
TRUMPET OF GOD," IT'S A TRUMPET,
00:14:04.33\00:14:07.46
HE'S GONNA SHOUT, IT'S
THE LOUDEST THING IN HISTORY.
00:14:07.46\00:14:10.33
JEREMIAH 25:30, "THE
LORD SHALL ROAR FROM ON HIGH."
00:14:10.33\00:14:14.53
AND THIS IS IN THE CONTEXT OF
HIS COMING, "HE WILL UTTER HIS
00:14:14.53\00:14:17.26
VOICE FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION,
HE SHALL MIGHTILY ROAR
00:14:17.26\00:14:20.93
UPON HIS HABITATION,
HE WILL GIVE A SHOUT."
00:14:20.93\00:14:24.03
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, IT'S
THE NOISIEST EVENT IN THE BIBLE,
00:14:24.03\00:14:26.46
IS THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:14:26.46\00:14:27.90
SECRET?
00:14:27.90\00:14:30.53
NUMBER THREE, WILL THE SECOND
COMING OF CHRIST BE VISIBLE TO
00:14:30.53\00:14:33.30
ALL MEN?
00:14:33.30\00:14:35.30
REVELATION 1:7 SAYS, "BEHOLD,
HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS,"
00:14:35.30\00:14:39.46
AND HOW MANY?
00:14:39.46\00:14:40.46
"EVERY EYE IS GOING TO SEE HIM."
00:14:40.46\00:14:42.90
AND I GET PEOPLE ASKIN' ME,
PASTOR DOUG, HOW ARE PEOPLE ON
00:14:42.90\00:14:44.83
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PLANET
GONNA SEE HIM AT THE SAME TIME?
00:14:44.83\00:14:47.26
IT DOESN'T SAY SIMULTANEOUSLY,
IT MEANS EVERYBODY ALIVE IN THE
00:14:47.26\00:14:50.30
WORLD, AS HE SWEEPS AROUND THE
CIRCUIT OF THE EARTH AND SORT
00:14:50.30\00:14:52.60
OF VACUUMS UP HIS SAINTS,
THEY'RE ALL GONNA SEE HIM.
00:14:52.60\00:14:55.83
WHOLE WORLD'S GONNA KNOW WHEN
HE COMES, THERE'LL BE LIGHTENING
00:14:55.83\00:14:58.00
GOING ALL THE
WAY AROUND THE WORLD.
00:14:58.00\00:15:00.36
NUMBER 4, WHO WILL COME
WITH JESUS AT THE SECOND COMING
00:15:00.36\00:15:03.96
AND WHY?
00:15:03.96\00:15:05.36
MATTHEW 25:31, "WHEN THE SON OF
MAN SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY WITH
00:15:05.36\00:15:10.00
ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM."
00:15:10.00\00:15:11.60
HOW MANY?
00:15:11.60\00:15:12.66
"ALL THE HOLY ANGELS."
00:15:12.66\00:15:14.10
2 THESSALONIANS 1:7,
"WHEN THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE
00:15:14.10\00:15:17.96
REVEALED FROM HEAVEN
WITH HIS MIGHTY ANGELS."
00:15:17.96\00:15:22.26
HE WAS CAUGHT UP IN
THE CLOUDS OF ANGELS.
00:15:22.26\00:15:24.86
RECEIVED HIM HE'S
COMING IN CLOUDS OF ANGELS.
00:15:24.86\00:15:27.20
"IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING
VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW
00:15:27.20\00:15:29.80
NOT GOD."
00:15:29.80\00:15:31.86
NUMBER FIVE, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE
FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS
00:15:31.86\00:15:35.96
AND THE DAY OF THE LORD?
00:15:35.96\00:15:38.06
JOHN 14:3, HE SAID, "AND IF I
GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU,
00:15:38.06\00:15:43.33
I WILL COME AGAIN TO RECEIVE
YOU TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE
00:15:43.33\00:15:49.33
I AM YOU MIGHT BE ALSO."
00:15:49.33\00:15:51.93
HE WANTS US TO BE WITH
HIM, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
00:15:51.93\00:15:54.66
HE LOVES US, HE'S
COMING TO RESCUE US.
00:15:54.66\00:15:56.80
REVELATION 22:12, "AND BEHOLD, I
COME AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME."
00:15:56.80\00:16:01.86
HE'S COMING TO GIVE REWARDS.
00:16:01.86\00:16:04.00
ACCORDING TO EVERY
MAN AS HIS WORK SHALL BE.
00:16:04.00\00:16:08.00
NUMBER SIX, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO
THE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE WHEN JESUS
00:16:08.00\00:16:11.33
COMES THE SECOND TIME?
00:16:11.33\00:16:13.13
ANSWER, 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16,
WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS VERSE,
00:16:13.13\00:16:16.93
"FOR THE LORD HIMSELF
WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH
00:16:16.93\00:16:19.50
A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF
ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD
00:16:19.50\00:16:22.73
AND THE DEAD IN
CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST."
00:16:22.73\00:16:27.00
THEY'RE CAUGHT UP TO MEET
HIM IN THE CLOUDS AS HE COMES.
00:16:27.00\00:16:30.06
"THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE
AND REMAIN WILL BE CAUGHT UP
00:16:30.06\00:16:33.90
TOGETHER WITH
HIM IN THE CLOUDS."
00:16:33.90\00:16:35.90
THIS IS WHAT YOU MIGHT REFER
TO AS THE RAPTURE, BUT IT IS NOT
00:16:35.90\00:16:38.06
A SECRET RAPTURE, YOU GOT THAT?
00:16:38.06\00:16:39.96
TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR
AND THEY GET GLORIFIED BODIES,
00:16:39.96\00:16:44.03
YOU READ ABOUT THAT IN 1
CORINTHIANS 15:52, "THE DEAD
00:16:44.03\00:16:47.56
SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE
AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED FOR
00:16:47.56\00:16:51.30
THIS CORRUPTIBLE WILL PUT
ON INCORRUPTION--" BODIES THAT
00:16:51.30\00:16:54.23
GROW OLD AND
DECOMPOSE, "AND THIS MORTAL WILL
00:16:54.23\00:16:57.20
PUT ON IMMORTALITY."
00:16:57.20\00:16:59.13
WELL, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING,
FRIENDS, THAT DAY WHEN JESUS
00:16:59.13\00:17:02.83
COMES AND ALL OUR LOVED ONES
ARE BROUGHT OUT OF THEIR GRAVES.
00:17:02.83\00:17:06.43
NUMBER 7, WHAT WILL HAPPEN
TO THE WICKED PEOPLE WHEN JESUS
00:17:06.43\00:17:09.86
COMES AGAIN?
00:17:09.86\00:17:11.36
WE DON'T LIKE TO THINK
ABOUT THIS, BUT THE BIBLE DOES
00:17:11.36\00:17:13.16
TELL US.
00:17:13.16\00:17:14.70
"AND THEN SHALL THAT WICKED
BE REVEALED, WHOM THE LORD WILL
00:17:14.70\00:17:18.13
CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF
HIS MOUTH AND SHALL DESTROY WITH
00:17:18.13\00:17:22.40
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING."
00:17:22.40\00:17:24.20
THESE WERE SOME OF THOSE SOMBER
VERSES THAT WE READ TALKING
00:17:24.20\00:17:26.60
ABOUT THE DAY OF THE LORD.
00:17:26.60\00:17:28.53
AND AGAIN REVELATION 6:15-17,
"AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND
00:17:28.53\00:17:33.26
THE GREAT MEN AND THE RICH MEN
AND THE CHIEF CAPTAINS AND THE
00:17:33.26\00:17:36.50
MIGHTY MEN AND EVERY BONDMAN
AND EVERY FREE MAN, THEY SAID TO
00:17:36.50\00:17:40.90
THE ROCKS IN THE MOUNTAINS,
'FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM
00:17:40.90\00:17:44.36
THE FACE OF HIM THAT SITS UPON
THE THRONE, FOR THE GREAT DAY OF
00:17:44.36\00:17:48.00
HIS WRATH IS COME AND
WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STAND?'"
00:17:48.00\00:17:52.20
NOW, THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF
PEOPLE WHEN JESUS COMES, HIS
00:17:52.20\00:17:55.43
BRIDE, THE ONES WHO ARE READY.
00:17:55.43\00:17:57.63
THEY WILL SAY, "LO, THIS IS
OUR GOD WE'VE WAITED FOR HIM."
00:17:57.63\00:18:00.46
BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TRIBES
OF THE EARTH WHO HAVE REJECTED
00:18:00.46\00:18:03.66
JESUS WILL MOURN AND IT WILL
BE A TERRIBLE AND TERRIFYING DAY
00:18:03.66\00:18:09.73
FOR THEM.
00:18:09.73\00:18:10.60
NUMBER 8, HOW WILL CHRIST'S
SECOND COMING AFFECT THE EARTH?
00:18:10.60\00:18:14.56
NOW, STAY WITH ME, THERE'S
A POINT IN ALL OF THESE PUZZLE
00:18:14.56\00:18:17.80
PIECES I'M GIVING YOU.
00:18:17.80\00:18:18.86
I WANT YOU TO HAVE
THE CLEAR SCENARIO.
00:18:18.86\00:18:20.60
IF YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THESE
POINTS, YOU'LL NOT BE CONFUSED
00:18:20.60\00:18:23.33
BY THE FALSE LEFT BEHIND
SCENARIOS OF THE SECOND COMING.
00:18:23.33\00:18:28.16
REVELATION 16:18, "AND THERE WAS
A GREAT EARTHQUAKE, SUCH AS WAS
00:18:28.16\00:18:33.00
NOT SINCE MEN WERE
UPON THE EARTH, SO MIGHTY AN
00:18:33.00\00:18:35.56
EARTHQUAKE AND SO GREAT."
00:18:35.56\00:18:37.66
EVERY ISLAND AND MOUNTAIN
IS MOVED OUT OF ITS PLACE BY
00:18:37.66\00:18:39.80
THIS EARTHQUAKE.
00:18:39.80\00:18:41.10
TALK ABOUT 8.4 ON
THE RICHTER SCALE.
00:18:41.10\00:18:44.03
THEY SAY THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE
THERE THAT HIT THE FIRST TIME
00:18:44.03\00:18:48.36
WAS 9 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.
00:18:48.36\00:18:51.13
PICTURE, IF YOU WILL, A 20 ON
THE RICHTER SCALE, EARTHQUAKE.
00:18:51.13\00:18:55.63
I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT IT'S
GONNA BE LIKE WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:18:55.63\00:18:57.80
FURTHERMORE IT SAYS IN
REVELATION 16:21, "A GREAT HAIL
00:18:57.80\00:19:01.60
FROM HEAVEN FELL UPON MEN,
EVERY HAILSTONE ABOUT THE WEIGHT
00:19:01.60\00:19:05.73
OF A TALENT."
00:19:05.73\00:19:07.40
NOW, SOMETIMES WE TALK
ABOUT THE WEATHER ALL THE TIME.
00:19:07.40\00:19:10.96
WE TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER WHEN
THERE ISN'T ANY WEATHER, RIGHT?
00:19:10.96\00:19:16.00
CAN YOU IMAGINE SOMEONE ELBOWING
YOU AND SAY, "DID YOU SEE
00:19:16.00\00:19:18.50
THE HAIL YESTERDAY?"
00:19:18.50\00:19:20.10
"YEP, HAILED, 100-POUND BLOCKS.
00:19:20.10\00:19:22.43
DID YOU CATCH THAT ON THE NEWS?"
00:19:22.43\00:19:24.43
IS THE WORLD--IS THAT A
SECRET WHEN THAT HAPPENS?
00:19:24.43\00:19:27.33
OR IS EVERYBODY GONNA KNOW WHEN
YOU HAD HAILSTONES LIKE THAT?
00:19:27.33\00:19:29.90
HOW MAY WE KNOW WHEN WE
ARE IN THE LAST GENERATION?
00:19:29.90\00:19:35.30
2 PETER 3:3-4, "THERE SHALL
COME IN THE LAST DAYS SCOFFERS
00:19:35.30\00:19:40.30
WALKING AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS,
SAYING WHERE IS THE PROMISE
00:19:40.30\00:19:43.96
OF HIS COMING?
00:19:43.96\00:19:45.46
FOR SINCE THE FATHERS
FELL ASLEEP ALL THINGS CONTINUE
00:19:45.46\00:19:47.83
AS THEY WERE FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THE AGE."
00:19:47.83\00:19:51.10
1 TIMOTHY 4:1, "IN THE
LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART
00:19:51.10\00:19:55.23
FROM THE FAITH, GIVING
HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS,
00:19:55.23\00:19:58.06
AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS."
00:19:58.06\00:20:00.06
AND OUR PEOPLE ARE SO
PREOCCUPIED NOW THAT EVEN
00:20:00.06\00:20:03.23
CHRISTIANS, SPIRITUALISM
IS PERMEATED THE CHURCH.
00:20:03.23\00:20:08.43
HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND TO THE
NEARNESS OF THE DAY OF THE LORD
00:20:08.43\00:20:11.46
IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON?
00:20:11.46\00:20:13.43
HOW DO WE GET READY FOR THIS?
00:20:13.43\00:20:15.93
ANSWER, LUKE 21:28, "NOW WHEN
THESE THINGS BEGIN TO HAPPEN,
00:20:15.93\00:20:21.83
LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR
HEADS BECAUSE YOUR REDEMPTION IS
00:20:21.83\00:20:25.86
DRAWING NEAR."
00:20:25.86\00:20:27.90
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU
WALK AROUND LIKE THIS UNTIL YOU
00:20:27.90\00:20:29.63
GET A CRICK IN YOUR NECK.
00:20:29.63\00:20:31.33
IT MEANS YOU LIVE IN AN ATTITUDE
OF EXPECTANCY OF THE IMMINENT
00:20:31.33\00:20:36.20
ADVENT.
00:20:36.20\00:20:38.63
SO, WE NEED TO WAKE UP TO
THE TRUTH THAT WE ARE RIGHT
00:20:38.63\00:20:41.00
THERE ON THE BORDERS
OF ETERNITY RIGHT NOW.
00:20:41.00\00:20:44.96
I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
THE GENERATION, I REALLY DO.
00:20:44.96\00:20:48.10
HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN I WILL NOT
BE DECEIVED BY SATAN REGARDING
00:20:48.10\00:20:52.23
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?
00:20:52.23\00:20:54.33
MATTHEW 24:26, JESUS SAID,
"WHEREFORE IF THEY SAY UNTO YOU,
00:20:54.33\00:20:58.33
BEHOLD, HE IS IN THE
DESERT, GO NOT FORTH."
00:20:58.33\00:21:01.10
HE'S IN SECRET CHAMBERS,
IF JESUS SAID IT'S A SECRET,
00:21:01.10\00:21:04.20
SUDDENLY SOMEONE
SAYS, "TURN ON THE TV, JESUS
00:21:04.20\00:21:07.93
JUST APPEARED IN JERUSALEM."
00:21:07.93\00:21:10.26
I WOULDN'T EVEN TURN IT ON,
FRIENDS, YOU'D BE HYPNOTIZED.
00:21:10.26\00:21:13.50
GO NOT FORTH, JESUS SAID
IN MATTHEW 24:27, "FOR AS
00:21:13.50\00:21:18.00
LIGHTENING COMES OUT OF THE
EAST AND FLASHES TO THE WEST,
00:21:18.00\00:21:20.86
EVEN SO SHALL THE
COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE."
00:21:20.86\00:21:24.56
HOW DO WE AVOID BEING DECEIVED?
00:21:24.56\00:21:26.60
ISAIAH 8:20, "ACCORDING
TO THE LAW IN THE TESTIMONY.
00:21:26.60\00:21:31.26
IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO
THIS WORD, IT'S BECAUSE THERE IS
00:21:31.26\00:21:34.50
NO LIGHT IN HIM."
00:21:34.50\00:21:35.53
FRIENDS, WE GOTTA SAY,
"THIS IS WHERE WE STAND."
00:21:35.53\00:21:37.66
AMEN.
00:21:37.66\00:21:38.73
IT'S GONNA GO
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:21:38.73\00:21:40.16
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
POPULAR OR UNPOPULAR IT IS.
00:21:40.16\00:21:42.60
HEAVEN AND EARTH MAY PASS AWAY,
HIS WORD DOES NOT PASS AWAY, IT
00:21:42.60\00:21:46.06
IS THE ROCK THAT WE
ARE TO TRUST AND BUILD ON.
00:21:46.06\00:21:48.80
NOW, NOTICE WHAT WE'VE
JUST CONSIDERED ABOUT THE SECOND
00:21:48.80\00:21:51.13
COMING.
00:21:51.13\00:21:52.53
IT'S NOT A SECRET, HIS COMING
IS LITERAL, IT'S PERSONAL,
00:21:52.53\00:21:57.70
IT'S VISIBLE, IT'S AUDIBLE,
IT'S PHYSICAL, IT'S VITALIZING,
00:21:57.70\00:22:02.93
IT'S GLORIOUS, IT'S CLIMATIC.
00:22:02.93\00:22:04.76
WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY
THAT SHOULD PREPARE FOR
00:22:04.76\00:22:08.16
THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD.
00:22:08.16\00:22:10.03
WHAT IS IT GONNA LOOK
LIKE JUST BEFORE JESUS COMES?
00:22:10.03\00:22:13.60
IT'S GONNA LOOK
A LOT LIKE TODAY.
00:22:13.60\00:22:15.16
"OH, BUT PASTOR DOUG, SOME
THINGS NEED TO HAPPEN FIRST."
00:22:15.16\00:22:17.13
YOU'RE RIGHT, AND THE FINAL
EVENTS ARE GONNA BE SO RAPID
00:22:17.13\00:22:19.60
IT'LL MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN.
00:22:19.60\00:22:21.60
FRIENDS, THE BEST TIME TO GET
READY FOR A TEST IS NOT THE DAY
00:22:21.60\00:22:24.06
OF THE TEST, IT'S BEFORE, RIGHT?
00:22:24.06\00:22:27.20
IF YOU WANNA GET READY FOR
A STORM, YOU CAN'T WAIT UNTIL
00:22:27.20\00:22:29.13
THE LIGHTENING STARTS TO CRACK.
00:22:29.13\00:22:30.76
YOU'VE GOTTA BE READY NOW.
00:22:30.76\00:22:34.13
HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN TO
BE READY WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:22:34.13\00:22:38.56
JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 6:37,
"HE THAT COMES TO ME I WILL IN
00:22:38.56\00:22:43.76
NO WISE CAST OUT."
00:22:43.76\00:22:46.10
THAT'S MY APPEAL TO YOU,
FRIENDS, THAT YOU'LL COME TO HIM
00:22:46.10\00:22:49.80
JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
00:22:49.80\00:22:51.63
JOHN 1:12, "AS MANY AS RECEIVED
HIM, TO THEM HE GAVE POWER TO
00:22:51.63\00:22:57.83
BECOME THE SONS OF GOD."
00:22:57.83\00:22:59.86
GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU THAT
POWER THAT YOU CAN BE A NEW
00:22:59.86\00:23:03.06
CREATURE, THAT YOU CAN
BE READY FOR HIS COMING.
00:23:03.06\00:23:08.06
YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SORT OF A
SEDUCTIVE, HYPNOTIC, PARALYZING
00:23:08.06\00:23:15.66
INFLUENCE, THIS DANGEROUS IDEA
THAT WE CAN STILL LOVE THE WORLD
00:23:15.66\00:23:20.93
AND BE SAVED IN OUR SINS.
00:23:20.93\00:23:23.36
YOU CAN COME TO JESUS WITH YOUR
SINS JUST LIKE YOU ARE, DON'T
00:23:23.36\00:23:25.43
EVER DOUBT THAT.
00:23:25.43\00:23:26.80
WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHEREVER YOU
ARE, WHATEVER YOUR EXPERIENCES,
00:23:26.80\00:23:29.76
IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SPEAKING
TO YOU, YOU CAN COME TO JESUS
00:23:29.76\00:23:31.70
RIGHT NOW AS MANY AS RECEIVED
HIM, HE WILL THEN GIVE YOU POWER
00:23:31.70\00:23:37.46
TO BE SONS OF GOD.
00:23:37.46\00:23:39.26
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT JUST ABOUT
THE JUSTIFICATION WE RECEIVE
00:23:39.26\00:23:41.96
WHEN WE COME TO CHRIST, IT'S
ABOUT THEN A SANCTIFYING POWER
00:23:41.96\00:23:45.63
THAT WILL TRANSFORM YOU,
GIVE YOU A NEW MIND, YOU BECOME
00:23:45.63\00:23:48.56
A NEW CREATURE.
00:23:48.56\00:23:50.26
HE WANTS TO FILL YOU WITH THAT
POWER, WHERE YOU WALK WITH THE
00:23:50.26\00:23:52.76
LORD DAY BY DAY AND YOU LIVE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF HEAVEN.
00:23:52.76\00:23:56.66
IF YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU MIGHT
DIE TOMORROW, IF YOU THOUGHT
00:23:56.66\00:24:04.23
THAT YOU MIGHT DIE IN A WEEK,
HOW SERIOUS WOULD YOU BE ABOUT
00:24:04.23\00:24:08.13
YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS TODAY?
00:24:08.13\00:24:11.00
HOW SERIOUS WOULD YOU BE
ABOUT SPIRITUAL PRIORITIES?
00:24:11.00\00:24:15.40
AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T WANNA
MAKE ANYONE NERVOUS, BUT THERE
00:24:15.40\00:24:17.46
IS NOBODY HERE THAT KNOWS WHICH
DAY IS YOUR LAST DAY UNLESS
00:24:17.46\00:24:21.40
YOU'RE PLANNING SUICIDE.
00:24:21.40\00:24:26.13
SO, WHEN'S THE
BEST TIME TO GET READY?
00:24:26.13\00:24:28.90
RIGHT NOW.
00:24:28.90\00:24:30.73
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:24:30.73\00:24:31.33
WHEN YOU DO, YOU CAN LIVE
MOMENT BY MOMENT IN THE POWER OF
00:24:31.33\00:24:33.66
THE LORD WITH THAT PEACE OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE.
00:24:33.66\00:24:36.90
MATTHEW 24:44, "THEREFORE BE
YE READY," LIVE IN A CONSTANT
00:24:36.90\00:24:42.50
ATTITUDE OF PREPARATION.
00:24:42.50\00:24:45.26
IT'S NOT THIS IDEA OF LIKE
FILING YOUR TAX THE DAY BEFORE
00:24:45.26\00:24:48.26
IT'S DUE.
00:24:48.26\00:24:49.50
YOU CAN'T PREPARE FOR JESUS LIKE
THAT, AND WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
00:24:49.50\00:24:52.03
GIVE HIM THE
LEFTOVERS OF YOUR LIFE?
00:24:52.03\00:24:54.53
COME TO HIM NOW, GIVE HIM
YOUR STRENGTH AND YOUR HEARTS.
