>>WE ARE LIVING IN
VERY INTERESTING TIMES.
00:00:45.21\00:00:49.98
I THINK MOST OF US ARE
AWARE - EVEN IF YOU DON'T GET A
00:00:50.01\00:00:54.48
NEWSPAPER, YOU PROBABLY, AT THIS
POINT, KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE
00:00:54.52\00:00:59.12
SANDY HOOK
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING.
00:00:59.15\00:01:03.09
ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 14TH
20-YEAR-OLD ADAM LANZA, HE SHOT
00:01:03.12\00:01:08.10
AND KILLED HIS MOTHER IN
THEIR NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT HOME.
00:01:08.13\00:01:11.47
HE THEN DROVE TO THE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL AND HE FATALLY SHOT
00:01:11.50\00:01:15.57
TWENTY CHILDREN AND SIX
ADULT STAFF MEMBERS AND THEN HE
00:01:15.60\00:01:19.11
COMMITTED SUICIDE.
00:01:19.14\00:01:20.88
ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC AND BARBARIC
AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD A
00:01:20.91\00:01:24.38
NUMBER OF THESE KIND OF EVENTS
IN NORTH AMERICA - THE SHOOTING
00:01:24.41\00:01:28.02
IN ARIZONA, IN AURORA, COLORADO,
COLUMBINE AND THE LIST GOES ON,
00:01:28.05\00:01:35.09
BUT ESPECIALLY LAST WEEK - I
THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT
00:01:35.12\00:01:39.69
IT'S GOING TO HAVE - IT'S GOING
TO MAKE CHANGES LIKE 9/11 ON OUR
00:01:39.73\00:01:43.47
LAWS AND ON OUR GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE THE IDEA OF ALL THOSE
00:01:43.50\00:01:51.47
INNOCENT CHILDREN, IT MAKES
PEOPLE ASK THE QUESTION 'WHERE
00:01:51.51\00:01:57.18
WAS GOD IN ALL OF THIS?'
AND ATHEISTS, THEY LOVE POINTING
00:01:57.21\00:02:03.02
AT A SITUATION LIKE THIS AND
USING IT AS SOME KIND OF PROOF
00:02:03.05\00:02:06.62
THAT IF THERE IS A GOD AND IF
GOD IS GOOD AND IF GOD IS LOVE,
00:02:06.65\00:02:11.59
THEN HOW COULD HE ALLOW THIS?
AND SO A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS,
00:02:11.63\00:02:15.46
THEY LIKE TO GRANDSTAND
IT AND SAY, 'WHERE WAS GOD?
00:02:15.50\00:02:18.77
THERE'S NO GOD.' HOW
DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT GOD IS
00:02:18.80\00:02:21.80
ALL-POWERFUL AND THAT GOD
IS GOOD WHEN YOU SEE SUCH PURE,
00:02:21.84\00:02:27.38
ABJECT EVIL
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD?
00:02:27.41\00:02:30.88
WELL, IT RAISES A LOT OF
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS BUT - AND,
00:02:30.91\00:02:35.12
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S ALL
COMPOUNDED RIGHT NOW THAT THIS
00:02:35.15\00:02:38.59
HAPPENED TO THESE CHILDREN
RIGHT ON THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS.
00:02:38.62\00:02:43.29
BUT WE JUST READ SOMETHING FROM
THE BIBLE DURING OUR SCRIPTURE
00:02:43.32\00:02:46.19
READING - THERE WAS ANOTHER
MASSACRE OF CHILDREN AROUND THE
00:02:46.23\00:02:50.50
BIRTH OF CHRIST BEFORE. THE
NEW TESTAMENT BEGINS WITH IT.
00:02:50.53\00:02:55.77
MATTER OF FACT, I'D
LIKE YOU TO GO THERE WITH ME.
00:02:55.80\00:02:58.37
IF YOU TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO
THE BOOK OF MATTHEW CHAPTER 2,
00:02:58.41\00:03:04.11
"NOW AFTER JESUS WAS BORN IN
BETHLEHEM OF JUDEA IN THE DAYS
00:03:04.15\00:03:08.18
OF HEROD THE KING, BEHOLD,
WISE MEN FROM THE EAST CAME TO
00:03:08.22\00:03:12.29
JERUSALEM,SAYING,
'WHERE IS HE WHO HAS BEEN BORN
00:03:12.32\00:03:15.89
KING OF THE JEWS?
00:03:15.92\00:03:17.39
FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE
EAST AND HAVE COME TO WORSHIP
00:03:17.43\00:03:20.20
HIM.' WHEN HEROD THE KING
HEARD THIS, HE WAS TROUBLED, AND
00:03:20.23\00:03:25.97
ALL JERUSALEM WITH HIM. AND
WHEN HE HAD GATHERED ALL THE
00:03:26.00\00:03:29.47
CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES OF THE
PEOPLE TOGETHER, HE INQUIRED OF
00:03:29.50\00:03:32.31
THEM WHERE THE
CHRIST WAS TO BE BORN.
00:03:32.34\00:03:35.98
SO THEY SAID TO HIM, 'IN
BETHLEHEM OF JUDEA, FOR THUS IT
00:03:36.01\00:03:38.38
IS WRITTEN BY THE PROPHET: 'BUT
YOU, BETHLEHEM, IN THE LAND OF
00:03:38.41\00:03:41.88
JUDAH, ARE NOT THE LEAST AMONG
THE RULERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF
00:03:41.92\00:03:45.29
YOU SHALL COME A RULER WHO WILL
SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.''"
00:03:45.32\00:03:50.53
VERY CLEAR PROPHECY THAT THE
SHEPHERD OF ISRAEL - THE RULER -
00:03:50.56\00:03:53.33
WAS GOING TO COME FROM BETHLEHEM
AND THAT DIDN'T SURPRISE ANY
00:03:53.36\00:03:56.26
JEWS BECAUSE, AFTER ALL,
THE GREATEST KING, DAVID,
00:03:56.30\00:03:58.97
CAME FROM THERE. THE
MESSIAH WOULD BE THE SON OF
00:03:59.00\00:04:00.97
DAVID SO THAT MADE PERFECT
SENSE. SO WHEN HEROD SECRETLY
00:04:01.00\00:04:05.11
CALLED THE WISE MEN - HE HAD
A PRIVATE INTERVIEW WITH THEM -
00:04:05.14\00:04:07.58
HE WAS A SMOOTH OPERATOR.
HE WAS EXTREMELY SHREWD.
00:04:07.61\00:04:12.58
WITH ALL OF THE INTRIGUE AND
INFIGHTING THAT HAPPENED IN THE
00:04:12.61\00:04:14.88
ROMAN EMPIRE, IT TOOK PRETTY
CLEVER POLITICAL SKILL TO BE
00:04:14.92\00:04:21.39
ABLE TO WORK YOUR WAY UP TO
HAVE THAT POSITION FOR ALMOST
00:04:21.42\00:04:24.13
40 YEARS. THAT WAS JUST
AMAZING. SO HE WAS SMART.
00:04:24.16\00:04:29.20
HE HAD A PRIVATE INTERVIEW WITH
THEM AND HE SAID TO THEM, 'WHEN
00:04:29.23\00:04:32.57
EXACTLY DID THIS STAR APPEAR?'
IT MUST HAVE BEEN A FEW MONTHS
00:04:32.60\00:04:36.47
BACK BECAUSE HE LATER GIVES AN
EDICT TO KILL ALL THE BABIES TWO
00:04:36.50\00:04:39.87
YEARS OLD AND
UNDER BASED ON THE TIME.
00:04:39.91\00:04:42.61
"AND HE SENT THEM TO BETHLEHEM
AND SAID, 'GO AND SEARCH
00:04:42.64\00:04:47.18
CAREFULLY FOR THE YOUNG CHILD,
AND WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND HIM,
00:04:47.22\00:04:51.42
BRING BACK WORD TO ME, THAT I
MAY COME AND WORSHIP HIM ALSO.'
00:04:51.45\00:04:55.89
WHEN THEY HEARD THE KING, THEY
DEPARTED; AND BEHOLD, THE STAR
00:04:55.92\00:04:59.69
WHICH THEY HAD SEEN IN THE
EAST" - WHICH, EVIDENTLY, HAD
00:04:59.73\00:05:01.86
TEMPORARILY DISAPPEARED,
IT REAPPEARED AGAIN AND -
00:05:01.90\00:05:04.37
"WENT BEFORE THEM."
00:05:04.40\00:05:05.70
- THIS WAS A BAND OF ANGELS, NO
DOUBT - "TILL IT CAME AND STOOD
00:05:05.73\00:05:08.90
OVER" - THE ACTUAL DWELLING
- "WHERE THE YOUNG CHILD WAS."
00:05:08.94\00:05:12.37
- AND IT SAYS THERE WAS A HOUSE
- "WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR, THEY
00:05:12.41\00:05:15.58
REJOICED WITH
EXCEEDINGLY GREAT JOY.
00:05:15.61\00:05:18.08
AND WHEN THEY HAD COME INTO THE
HOUSE, THEY SAW THE YOUNG CHILD
00:05:18.11\00:05:21.88
WITH MARY HIS MOTHER, AND
FELL DOWN AND WORSHIPED HIM..."
00:05:21.92\00:05:27.39
- AND GAVE HIM GIFTS -
"PRESENTED GIFTS TO HIM: GOLD,
00:05:27.42\00:05:30.19
FRANKINCENSE, AND MYRRH.
THEN, BEING DIVINELY WARNED IN A
00:05:30.23\00:05:34.50
DREAM THAT THEY SHOULD
NOT RETURN TO HEROD,..."
00:05:34.56\00:05:38.37
- THE ANGEL KNEW WHAT HE WAS UP
TO - GOD KNEW HIS HEART - "THEY
00:05:38.40\00:05:41.70
DEPARTED FOR THEIR OWN COUNTRY
ANOTHER WAY." - THEY THOUGHT
00:05:41.74\00:05:44.31
THEY'D BETTER TAKE THE
BACK ROAD AND GET OUT OF TOWN.
00:05:44.34\00:05:47.38
AS TIME WENT BY IT SAYS, "AN
ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO
00:05:47.41\00:05:51.78
JOSEPH IN A DREAM, SAYING,
'ARISE, TAKE THE YOUNG CHILD AND
00:05:51.81\00:05:56.08
HIS MOTHER, FLEE TO EGYPT,
AND STAY THERE UNTIL I BRING YOU
00:05:56.12\00:05:59.69
WORD;'" - I'M TELLING YOU WHEN
TO LEAVE, I'LL TELL YOU WHEN TO
00:05:59.72\00:06:02.39
COME BACK - "'FOR HEROD WILL
SEEK THE YOUNG CHILD TO DESTROY
00:06:02.42\00:06:05.99
HIM.' WHEN HE AROSE, HE TOOK THE
YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER BY
00:06:06.03\00:06:09.96
NIGHT..." - THEY NEEDED TO GO
WHEN NO ONE WOULD KNOW EXACTLY
00:06:10.00\00:06:14.37
WHAT ROAD THEY TOOK
AND WHERE THEY WENT.
00:06:14.40\00:06:16.60
SO THEY WENT BY NIGHT - "...AND
DEPARTED FOR EGYPT, AND WAS
00:06:16.64\00:06:20.68
THERE UNTIL THE DEATH OF HEROD,
THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH
00:06:20.71\00:06:23.21
WAS SPOKEN BY THE LORD THROUGH
THE PROPHET, SAYING, 'OUT OF
00:06:23.24\00:06:26.78
EGYPT I CALLED MY
SON.'" IN THE SAME WAY THAT GOD
00:06:26.82\00:06:30.19
BROUGHT ISAAC AND HIS PEOPLE -
OR THE ISRAELITES - OUT OF EGYPT
00:06:30.22\00:06:36.59
- ABRAHAM HAD GONE TO
EGYPT DURING A FAMINE AND HE WAS
00:06:36.62\00:06:39.73
CALLED OUT - GOD WAS GOING TO
CALL HIS SON JESUS BACK OUT OF
00:06:39.76\00:06:44.17
EGYPT - A SYMBOL THAT HE
WOULD BE LIKE MOSES, THE GREAT
00:06:44.20\00:06:47.37
DELIVERER, THAT HE WOULD
SAVE US AND HE WAS THERE UNTIL
00:06:47.40\00:06:51.27
THE DEATH OF HEROD.
00:06:51.31\00:06:52.54
NOW, GOT A FLASHBACK TO HEROD
WHEN HE STARTS LOOKING AT HIS
00:06:52.57\00:06:57.31
WATCH AND CHECKING HIS CALENDAR
AND THE WISE MEN HAVEN'T COME
00:06:57.35\00:06:59.71
BACK, HE'S SO PARANOID THAT
THERE'S A PLOT AFOOT THAT THIS
00:06:59.75\00:07:03.82
NEW KING HAS BEEN BORN, "...WHEN
HE SAW THAT HE WAS DECEIVED BY
00:07:03.85\00:07:07.82
THE WISE MEN, WAS EXCEEDINGLY
ANGRY; AND HE SENT FORTH AND PUT
00:07:07.86\00:07:13.73
TO DEATH ALL THE MALE CHILDREN
WHO WERE IN BETHLEHEM AND IN ALL
00:07:13.76\00:07:18.07
ITS DISTRICTS, FROM TWO YEARS
OLD AND UNDER, ACCORDING TO THE
00:07:18.10\00:07:21.37
TIME WHICH HE HAD
DETERMINED FROM THE WISE MEN."
00:07:21.40\00:07:24.37
WHY WOULD THE LORD ALLOW THE
BIRTH OF HIS SON TO BE CONNECTED
00:07:24.41\00:07:31.28
WITH THE MASSACRE OF
CHILDREN? IF HE'S GOD,
00:07:31.31\00:07:34.22
HOW COULD HE ALLOW THAT?'
I MEAN, WHO'S EVER GOTTEN A
00:07:34.25\00:07:37.49
CHRISTMAS CARD THAT LOOKED LIKE
THAT ANCIENT PAINTING OF THE
00:07:37.52\00:07:41.82
MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS? YOU
DON'T USUALLY SEND THAT AROUND.
00:07:41.86\00:07:45.99
I MEAN, THIS IS PART OF THE
STORY OF JESUS' BIRTH, RIGHT?
00:07:46.03\00:07:49.16
WHY IS THAT STORY IN THERE?
00:07:49.20\00:07:52.27
I MEAN, THAT CAN SHAKE UP THE
CHILDREN, TELLING THEM THAT PART
00:07:52.30\00:07:55.40
OF THE CHRISTMAS
STORY. WHY DID GOD ALLOW THAT?
00:07:55.44\00:07:59.47
IF HE'S GOD, IF HE'S GOOD, WHERE
WAS HE BACK WHEN JESUS WAS BORN?
00:07:59.51\00:08:04.91
WHY COULDN'T HE
PREVENT THAT? COULD HE HAVE?
00:08:04.95\00:08:08.68
NO, I'M NOT ASKING THESE
QUESTIONS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
00:08:08.72\00:08:11.22
THERE AREN'T ANY ANSWERS -
I DO THINK THERE ARE ANSWERS.
00:08:11.25\00:08:14.39
I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS SORT
OF RHETORICALLY BECAUSE I HAVE
00:08:14.42\00:08:18.03
HEARD SOME OF THE STRANGEST
THINGS SAID ABOUT GOD IN THE
00:08:18.06\00:08:20.80
LAST WEEK. DO YOU
THINK THE LORD WANTED TO
00:08:20.83\00:08:23.60
PROTECT THOSE
BABY BOYS IN BETHLEHEM?
00:08:23.63\00:08:27.87
BUT THERE'S A WAR GOING ON
IN THIS WORLD AND GOD CAN ONLY
00:08:27.90\00:08:32.67
INTERVENE WHEN WE
PLEAD FOR HIM TO INTERVENE.
00:08:32.71\00:08:36.68
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PRAYER
IF PRAYER MAKES NO DIFFERENCE?
00:08:36.71\00:08:40.72
AND WHEN WE DON'T PRAY, IS
IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE TIMES
00:08:40.75\00:08:44.59
WHEN GOD DOESN'T
ACT? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:08:44.62\00:08:48.42
WILL GOD DO, WHEN WE PRAY,
WHAT HE OTHERWISE WOULD NOT DO?
00:08:48.46\00:08:52.49
AND WHEN WE NEGLECT TO PRAY, ARE
THERE THINGS THAT ARE NOT DONE
00:08:52.53\00:08:55.40
BECAUSE WE HAVE
NEGLECTED TO PRAY?
00:08:55.43\00:08:58.10
WELL, I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
- THIS IS A SERIOUS SUBJECT.
00:08:58.13\00:09:01.97
IT CREATES A NUMBER OF
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
00:09:02.00\00:09:06.17
FIRST OF ALL,
THERE'S A WAR GOING ON.
00:09:06.21\00:09:09.01
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT THERE'S
AN ANGRY DRAGON RAMPAGING AROUND
00:09:09.04\00:09:13.08
OUR PLANET. 1 PETER
5, VERSES 8 AND 9 - I'M
00:09:13.11\00:09:16.79
GOING TO GIVE YOU A NUMBER OF
SCRIPTURES - "BE SOBER," - THE
00:09:16.82\00:09:20.09
APOSTLE SAYS - "BE VIGILANT;
BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL
00:09:20.12\00:09:24.89
WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION,
SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
00:09:24.93\00:09:30.20
RESIST HIM,
STEADFAST IN THE FAITH,..."
00:09:30.23\00:09:32.77
- BECAUSE JESUS GOT AWAY, THE
DEVIL TOOK OUT HIS WRATH ON THE
00:09:32.80\00:09:37.77
CHILDREN IN BETHLEHEM.
NOW DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE
00:09:37.81\00:09:41.58
DEVIL KNEW THAT JOSEPH AND
MARY HAD GOTTEN OUT OF TOWN?
00:09:41.61\00:09:44.98
I MEAN, DIDN'T THE DEVIL HAVE
HIS AGENTS WATCHING WHEN JESUS
00:09:45.01\00:09:50.89
WAS BORN? THE DEVIL DIDN'T
KNOW WHEN THOSE ANGELS SANG?
00:09:50.92\00:09:54.59
THE DEVIL DIDN'T KNOW
WHEN GABRIEL TALKED TO MARY?
00:09:54.62\00:09:58.53
I THINK HE WAS AWARE OF
THAT. THE DEVIL HATES JESUS.
00:09:58.56\00:10:04.20
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
HOW MUCH HE HATES JESUS.
00:10:04.23\00:10:05.80
THINK OF ANY HATE THAT YOU
CAN CONJURE UP IN YOUR MIND.
00:10:05.83\00:10:08.57
MAGNIFY THAT - THERE IS NO HATE,
THERE IS NO BITTERNESS THAT IS
00:10:08.60\00:10:11.87
ANY GREATER THAN THE
HATRED OF SATAN FOR CHRIST.
00:10:11.91\00:10:17.28
WHEN THE DEVIL CANNOT TOUCH
JESUS, HE TRIES TO HURT WHAT IS
00:10:17.31\00:10:21.92
CLOSEST TO JESUS,
WHICH WOULD BE CHILDREN.
00:10:21.95\00:10:26.79
AND SO THIS WAS JUST A SIGNAL
THAT, BECAUSE THE DEVIL COULD
00:10:26.82\00:10:31.89
NOT GET JESUS, HE SAID, 'WELL,
I'M GOING TO HURT THE OTHER
00:10:31.93\00:10:34.83
CHILDREN OF
BETHLEHEM AS A SIGN.'
00:10:34.83\00:10:37.57
IT'S NOT BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T
LOVE, IT'S BECAUSE THE DEVIL
00:10:37.60\00:10:40.30
HATES, THAT
THESE CHILDREN SUFFER.
00:10:40.34\00:10:43.91
THERE'S A DRAGON THAT IS ROAMING
THROUGH THE PLANET - NOTICE,
00:10:43.94\00:10:47.58
REVELATION 12:9, "SO THE
GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT
00:10:47.61\00:10:51.41
SERPENT OF OLD, CALLED THE DEVIL
AND SATAN, WHO DECEIVES THE
00:10:51.45\00:10:54.02
WHOLE WORLD; HE WAS
CAST TO THE EARTH,..."
00:10:54.05\00:10:56.38
- SO WHERE IS THE
DEVIL NOW? HE'S ON THE EARTH.
00:10:56.42\00:11:00.09
AND HIS ANGELS
WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.
00:11:00.12\00:11:02.02
IF THE DEVIL'S REALLY BAD,
HOW DO YOU THINK HIS ANGELS ARE?
00:11:02.06\00:11:07.10
THIS PLANET IS
FILLED WITH DEMONS.
00:11:07.13\00:11:10.07
MATTER OF FACT, INSTEAD
OF SAYING, 'WHY DID GOD ALLOW
00:11:10.10\00:11:12.47
THIS?' WE SHOULD
BE SAYING, 'WHY DO WE
00:11:12.50\00:11:16.67
HAVE SO MUCH PEACE WHEN
THE WORLD IS FULL OF DEVILS?'
00:11:16.71\00:11:21.81
WE'RE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION.
INSTEAD OF SAYING, 'WHY DO BAD
00:11:21.84\00:11:24.28
THINGS HAPPEN, WE OUGHT TO
BE SAYING, 'SINCE THE PENALTY OF
00:11:24.31\00:11:27.28
SIN IS DEATH, WHY DO SO
MANY GOOD THINGS HAPPEN?
00:11:27.32\00:11:30.72
IT'S BECAUSE GOD IS INVADING AND
INTERVENING IN OUR LIVES ALL THE
00:11:30.75\00:11:35.79
TIME, THAT WE HAVE ANY OF
THE PEACE AND BLESSINGS THAT WE
00:11:35.82\00:11:38.63
ENJOY. IF THE LORD WITHDREW
HIS PROTECTION - AND THAT WILL
00:11:38.66\00:11:43.47
HAPPEN SOME DAY WHEN PROBATION
CLOSES ON THIS PLANET AND THE
00:11:43.50\00:11:47.70
SEVEN LAST PLAGUES FALL - IT
JUST MAKES YOU SHUDDER TO THINK
00:11:47.74\00:11:51.21
ABOUT IT. WITH ALL
THE EVIL IN THE WORLD
00:11:51.24\00:11:52.67
TODAY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THOSE
ANGELS ARE LOOSENING THEIR GRIP
00:11:52.71\00:11:55.98
ON THE WINDS OF STRIFE NOW.
THE ONLY REASON THAT WE HAVE ANY
00:11:56.01\00:12:00.58
KIND OF PEACE AND SECURITY IN
THE WORLD TODAY IS BECAUSE GOD
00:12:00.62\00:12:03.22
IS INTERVENING
IN ENEMY TERRITORY.
00:12:03.25\00:12:07.82
REVELATION 12:12 - IF YOU
WANT TO KNOW WHY - IT SAYS,
00:12:07.86\00:12:13.09
"THEREFORE REJOICE, O HEAVENS,
AND YOU WHO DWELL IN THEM!
00:12:13.13\00:12:16.56
WOE TO THE INHABITANTS OF
THE EARTH AND THE SEA!..."
00:12:16.60\00:12:19.00
- WHY ARE THE HEAVENS REJOICING?
00:12:19.03\00:12:20.70
BECAUSE THE DEVIL HAS BEEN
EVICTED. AND SO I AM - I AM
00:12:20.74\00:12:26.88
REALLY, REALLY BROKENHEARTED.
I AM SO SAD FOR THOSE FAMILIES
00:12:26.91\00:12:33.68
THAT WERE TOLD THAT TERRIBLE
NEWS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
00:12:33.72\00:12:38.19
THAT COMMUNITY - YOU KNOW,
I DON'T THINK WE CAN IMAGINE -
00:12:38.22\00:12:41.19
SMALL COMMUNITY - SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HURTS ME
00:12:41.22\00:12:47.96
EVEN MORE? IS THAT PEOPLE THINK
THAT SOMEHOW GOD IS HAPPY OR
00:12:48.00\00:12:54.37
THAT GOD DOESN'T CARE. ONE THING
I CAN PROMISE YOU - NOBODY -
00:12:54.40\00:12:59.27
NOBODY IS MORE HURT THAN GOD.
THE REASON THAT JESUS CAME INTO
00:12:59.31\00:13:04.68
THE WORLD IS TO STOP
THE PAIN AND THE MISERY AND
00:13:04.71\00:13:08.88
THE SUFFERING. THE
LORD HATES ALL OF THAT.
00:13:08.92\00:13:13.09
GOD WANTS A WORLD WHERE
EVERYTHING IS GOOD, GOOD, VERY
00:13:13.12\00:13:15.02
GOOD - WHERE THERE'S
PEACE. BUT THIS PLANET HAS BEEN
00:13:15.06\00:13:17.93
KIDNAPPED BY AN
ENEMY. A FEW MORE VERSES.
00:13:17.96\00:13:21.66
FIRST OF ALL, THE DEVIL
GOES AFTER WHAT JESUS LOVES.
00:13:21.70\00:13:25.80
JESUS ESPECIALLY LOVES CHILDREN.
YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORST SINS
00:13:25.83\00:13:31.41
AND YOU'VE GOT, OF COURSE,
HOMICIDE AND THERE'S GENOCIDE,
00:13:31.44\00:13:36.38
BUT INFANTICIDE
- KILLING CHILDREN.
00:13:36.41\00:13:40.42
PEOPLE HAVE OFTEN WONDERED
IF THAT'S THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
00:13:40.45\00:13:43.69
MATTHEW 19:13, "THEN LITTLE
CHILDREN WERE BROUGHT TO HIM
00:13:43.72\00:13:47.02
THAT HE MIGHT PUT HIS
HANDS ON THEM AND PRAY,
00:13:47.06\00:13:49.59
BUT THE DISCIPLES REBUKED
THEM." - 'HE'S TOO BUSY' -
00:13:49.62\00:13:52.39
AND JESUS - NO, HE
WAS VERY DISPLEASED.
00:13:52.43\00:13:54.83
"BUT JESUS SAID, 'LET THE LITTLE
CHILDREN COME TO ME, AND DO NOT
00:13:54.83\00:13:57.57
FORBID THEM; FOR OF SUCH
IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.'
00:13:57.60\00:14:01.40
AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON
THEM AND DEPARTED FROM THERE."
00:14:01.44\00:14:04.77
AND AGAIN, MATTHEW 18 - GO
BACK ONE CHAPTER - JESUS SAID,
00:14:04.81\00:14:07.88
"ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, UNLESS
YOU ARE CONVERTED AND BECOME AS
00:14:07.91\00:14:11.21
LITTLE CHILDREN,...'"
- THAT'S ANOTHER REASON
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.38
THE DEVIL HATES
CHILDREN SO MUCH.
00:14:13.42\00:14:15.22
WE NEED TO BE LIKE CHILDREN
TO BE SAVED. 'UNLESS YOU BECOME
00:14:15.25\00:14:18.72
LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN YOU WILL
BY NO MEANS ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
00:14:18.75\00:14:21.42
HEAVEN.' THAT'S WHY THE DEVIL
DELIGHTS IN GOING AFTER THOSE
00:14:21.46\00:14:27.00
BABY BOYS IN EGYPT AND IN
JERUSALEM AND THEN IN BETHLEHEM
00:14:27.03\00:14:34.87
AND OTHER PLACES.
00:14:34.90\00:14:36.67
THIS IS NOT GOD
INSPIRED, THIS IS DIABOLICAL.
00:14:36.71\00:14:44.11
MASS MURDER IS
THE DEVIL'S BUSINESS.
00:14:44.15\00:14:46.82
JESUS SAID IN JOHN 8:43, "WHY DO
YOU NOT UNDERSTAND MY SPEECH?"
00:14:46.85\00:14:53.62
- RED LETTER IN YOUR BIBLE -
JOHN 8:43 AND 44, "BECAUSE YOU
00:14:53.66\00:14:57.93
ARE NOT ABLE TO
LISTEN TO MY WORD.
00:14:57.96\00:15:00.10
YOU ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE
DEVIL, AND THE DESIRES OF YOUR
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.70
FATHER YOU WANT TO DO."
YES, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE
00:15:02.73\00:15:05.07
WORLD AND THEY DON'T EVEN
REALIZE THAT THEY'RE NOT SONS
00:15:05.10\00:15:06.87
AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD BUT
THEY'RE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL.
00:15:06.90\00:15:09.47
BECAUSE UNTIL YOU GIVE YOUR
HEART TO THE LORD - UNTIL YOU'RE
00:15:09.50\00:15:12.01
BORN AGAIN, AS CIVILIZED AND
SOPHISTICATED AS YOU MIGHT ACT,
00:15:12.04\00:15:15.78
UNLESS YOU ARE BORN AGAIN,
YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT FATHER.
00:15:15.81\00:15:19.28
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE
SPIRIT OF GOD GUIDING YOU TO DO
00:15:19.31\00:15:21.92
GOOD - YOU MAY EVEN ACT MORALLY.
00:15:21.95\00:15:24.79
THE SOCIETY MIGHT THINK YOU ARE
A WONDERFUL, UPSTANDING CITIZEN
00:15:24.82\00:15:27.69
- YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY
TRAFFIC TICKETS - BUT UNLESS
00:15:27.72\00:15:30.99
YOU'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN YOU
ONLY HAVE ONE OTHER ALTERNATIVE:
00:15:31.03\00:15:33.70
CHRIST SAID, 'YOU'RE
WITH ME OR YOU'RE AGAINST ME.'
00:15:33.73\00:15:37.77
HE EVEN TOLD THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS, 'YOU'RE OF YOUR FATHER
00:15:37.80\00:15:39.87
THE DEVIL. "...AND THE DESIRES
OF YOUR FATHER YOU WANT TO DO.
00:15:39.90\00:15:45.47
HE WAS A MURDERER FROM
THE BEGINNING..." WHO IS THE
00:15:45.51\00:15:48.78
MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING?
IT'S THE DEVIL. AND HE DOESN'T
00:15:48.81\00:15:53.08
STAND IN THE TRUTH
BECAUSE THERE'S NO TRUTH IN HIM.
00:15:53.11\00:15:55.18
WHEN HE SPEAKS A LIE HE SPEAKS
HIS OWN BECAUSE HE'S A LIAR AND
00:15:55.22\00:15:57.69
THE FATHER OF IT. JOHN 10, VERSE
9 - CHRIST SAID, "I AM THE DOOR.
00:15:57.72\00:16:02.69
IF ANYONE ENTERS BY ME, HE WILL
BE SAVED, AND WILL GO IN AND OUT
00:16:02.72\00:16:06.29
AND FIND PASTURE. THE THIEF DOES
NOT COME EXCEPT" - HERE'S WHY
00:16:06.33\00:16:10.00
THE DEVIL COMES - "TO STEAL,
AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY."
00:16:10.03\00:16:15.97
SO WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?
THERE IS AN ENEMY IN THE WORLD.
00:16:16.00\00:16:21.08
MATTER OF FACT, MATTHEW 13:28
- YOU REMEMBER THE PARABLE OF
00:16:21.11\00:16:23.98
THE WHEAT AND THE TARES?
00:16:24.01\00:16:25.98
WHEN JESUS LATER EXPLAINS THAT
AND THE ANGELS ARE WONDERING -
00:16:26.01\00:16:29.28
'WE SOWED GOOD SEED IN
THE FIELD, WHAT HAPPENED?'
00:16:29.32\00:16:34.19
JESUS ANSWERED BY SAYING,
'AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS.'
00:16:34.22\00:16:38.59
THERE IS AN ENEMY IN THIS WORLD.
WE ARE LIVING IN ENEMY TERRITORY
00:16:38.63\00:16:42.96
RIGHT NOW. NO, GOD
DOES NOT HAVE COMPLETE
00:16:43.00\00:16:45.87
CONTROL OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY.
00:16:45.90\00:16:48.77
IF GOD HAD COMPLETE CONTROL
OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD
00:16:48.80\00:16:51.17
TODAY, WHY DO WE PRAY
'THY WILL BE DONE'? RIGHT?
00:16:51.21\00:16:57.48
LUKE CHAPTER 4, VERSE 5, "THEN
THE DEVIL, TAKING HIM UP ON A
00:16:57.51\00:17:02.12
HIGH MOUNTAIN, SHOWED HIM ALL
THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD IN A
00:17:02.15\00:17:04.52
MOMENT OF TIME. AND
THE DEVIL SAID TO HIM, 'ALL
00:17:04.55\00:17:08.19
THIS AUTHORITY I WILL GIVE YOU,
AND THEIR GLORY; FOR THIS HAS
00:17:08.22\00:17:12.19
BEEN DELIVERED TO ME, AND I
GIVE IT TO WHOMEVER I WISH.'" -
00:17:12.23\00:17:17.30
YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT PEOPLE
MAKING DEALS WITH THE DEVIL.
00:17:17.33\00:17:19.87
THE DEVIL CLAIMS THIS
WORLD IS HIS TERRITORY. -
00:17:19.90\00:17:23.27
"'THEREFORE, IF YOU WILL
WORSHIP BEFORE ME, ALL WILL BE
00:17:23.30\00:17:25.01
YOURS.'" - JESUS SAID - "'GET
BEHIND ME SATAN!... YOU SHALL
00:17:25.04\00:17:28.11
WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD,
AND HIM ONLY YOU SHALL SERVE.'"
00:17:28.14\00:17:29.31
YOU NOTICE THE DEVIL - JESUS
DOES NOT CONTEST THE DEVIL'S
00:17:29.34\00:17:32.81
CLAIM. MATTER OF FACT,
CHRIST SAID - JOHN 12:31 -
00:17:32.85\00:17:37.19
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY?
00:17:37.22\00:17:39.19
"'NOW IS THE JUDGEMENT OF THIS
WORLD; NOW THE RULER OF THIS
00:17:39.22\00:17:42.79
WORLD WILL BE CAST
OUT.'" WELL, HE WAS CAST OUT OF
00:17:42.82\00:17:46.09
HEAVEN AND HE WAS GOING TO,
ULTIMATELY, BE CAST OUT OF THE
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.00
WORLD - CAST INTO A BOTTOMLESS
PIT - LAKE OF FIRE, RIGHT?
00:17:48.03\00:17:53.27
WHO IS - JESUS IS NOT TALKING
ABOUT HIMSELF WHEN HE SAYS 'THE
00:17:53.30\00:17:55.97
RULER OF THIS WORLD'. HE
ACKNOWLEDGES SOMEBODY IS THE
00:17:56.00\00:17:59.21
RULER OF THIS WORLD.
JOHN 14, VERSE 30, "I WILL NO
00:17:59.24\00:18:05.41
LONGER TALK MUCH WITH YOU,
FOR THE RULER OF THIS WORLD IS
00:18:05.45\00:18:07.88
COMING, AND HE
HAS NOTHING IN ME."
00:18:07.92\00:18:10.62
THE DEVIL HAS SOMETHING IN
EVERYBODY ELSE BECAUSE HE'S
00:18:10.65\00:18:12.49
TEMPTED EVERYBODY ELSE TO SIN,
BUT HE NEVER WAS ABLE TO TEMPT
00:18:12.52\00:18:15.39
JESUS TO SIN. SO HE
SAID, 'HE'S GOT NO GOODS ON ME.
00:18:15.42\00:18:18.69
HE HAS NOTHING ON ME.'
BUT HE CALLS HIM 'THE RULER OF
00:18:18.73\00:18:20.96
THIS WORLD'. SO WHERE WAS GOD?
WHY DID HE ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN?
00:18:21.00\00:18:27.20
SEE, THIS PLANET IS
A CONTESTED KINGDOM.
00:18:27.24\00:18:31.57
GOD ORIGINALLY MADE THE WORLD
AND WHEN ADAM AND EVE CHOSE TO
00:18:31.61\00:18:36.78
LISTEN TO THE WORD OF THE DEVIL
INSTEAD OF THE WORD OF GOD, AND
00:18:36.81\00:18:40.48
OUR PLANET FELL, THE
DEVIL MOVED DOWN HERE.
00:18:40.52\00:18:44.49
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'WHOEVER YOU
OBEY, THAT'S WHOSE SERVANTS YOU
00:18:44.52\00:18:46.79
ARE.' AND WHEN
HE FOUND SUPPORTERS
00:18:46.82\00:18:49.09
DOWN HERE, HE THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE FOR HIS
00:18:49.12\00:18:51.03
HEADQUARTERS AND HE HAS BEEN
STAGING HIS REBELLION AGAINST
00:18:51.06\00:18:54.76
HEAVEN FROM THIS
PLANET EVER SINCE.
00:18:54.83\00:18:57.37
AND THE WHOLE REASON JESUS CAME
WAS TO REDEEM THE PLANET - TO
00:18:57.40\00:19:01.60
RESCUE THE PLANET THAT'S
BEEN KIDNAPPED BY AN ENEMY -
00:19:01.64\00:19:05.57
THE ARCH VILLAIN. SO,
YES, WE'RE GOING TO SEE
00:19:05.61\00:19:08.41
TERRIBLE THINGS
HAPPEN IN THE WORLD.
00:19:08.44\00:19:11.41
THIS PLANET IS A
CONTESTED KINGDOM.
00:19:11.45\00:19:14.38
IN THE LORD'S PRAYER WE
SAY, 'THY WILL BE DONE.'
00:19:14.42\00:19:17.72
WHY DO WE PRAY?
WHY DOES JESUS SAY,
00:19:17.75\00:19:19.42
'PRAY THAT GOD'S WILL BE DONE'?
IS GOD'S WILL DONE ALL THE TIME?
00:19:19.45\00:19:24.43
IF HIS WILL'S DONE ALL THE
TIME, WE DON'T NEED TO PRAY IT.
00:19:24.46\00:19:27.00
BUT THE FACT IS, HIS WILL IS
NOT DONE. SO YOU THINK IT'S SAFE
00:19:27.03\00:19:30.70
TO ASSUME THAT WHEN THINGS
LIKE THIS HAPPEN AND INNOCENT
00:19:30.73\00:19:33.27
CHILDREN - BEFORE EVEN THE
AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY - ARE
00:19:33.30\00:19:37.87
SLAUGHTERED, WAS
THAT GOD'S WILL? NO.
00:19:37.91\00:19:42.58
WHILE THIS WORLD HAS BEEN
KIDNAPPED BY THE ENEMY, WITH
00:19:42.61\00:19:48.82
PRAYER, REPENTANCE, HUMILITY,
WHEN WE TURN TO GOD, HE WILL
00:19:48.85\00:19:53.69
INTERVENE AND PROTECT.
00:19:53.72\00:19:56.52
HE WILL NOT FORCE HIS PROTECTION
ON US WHEN WE DON'T SEEK IT.
00:19:56.56\00:20:02.96
YOU READ DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 28
- IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR BIBLES -
00:20:03.00\00:20:06.57
GOD SAYS THERE THAT 'IF YOU OBEY
MY COMMANDMENTS, IF YOU FOLLOW
00:20:06.60\00:20:11.47
ME, AND IF YOU SERVE ME,
ALL THESE BLESSINGS WILL FOLLOW.
00:20:11.51\00:20:15.21
YOU'LL BE BLESSED WHEN YOU GO
OUT. YOU'LL BE BLESSED WHEN YOU
00:20:15.24\00:20:17.18
COME IN. YOU'LL BE BLESSED IN
THE BARN. YOU'LL BE BLESSED IN
00:20:17.21\00:20:19.58
YOUR HOUSE. YOUR CHILDREN WILL
BE BLESSED. AND IF YOU TURN FROM
00:20:19.61\00:20:24.69
ME AND YOU FOLLOW AFTER ALL THE
PAGAN GODS AND YOU NEGLECT ME,
00:20:24.72\00:20:30.19
YOU'LL BE CURSED WHEN YOU GO
OUT. YOU'LL BE CURSED WHEN YOU
00:20:30.23\00:20:32.59
COME IN. YOU'LL BE CURSED IN
YOUR FIELD. YOU'LL BE CURSED IN
00:20:32.63\00:20:35.30
YOUR HOME.' AND THOSE CURSES
PLAY OUT IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:20:35.33\00:20:40.27
I'M NOT SO SURE, AS A COUNTRY,
THAT WE ARE SURRENDERED TO THE
00:20:40.30\00:20:43.97
LORD RIGHT NOW AND SO WHEN WE
SEE TRAGEDY HAPPENING, I THINK
00:20:44.01\00:20:49.08
WE DO HAVE TO
ASK THE BIG QUESTION.
00:20:49.11\00:20:51.88
IS THERE MAYBE A CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE HUMBLE
00:20:51.91\00:20:55.72
OURSELVES AS A NATION? NO
GOD DOESN'T WANT THESE THINGS TO
00:20:55.75\00:20:59.32
HAPPEN. NO GOD WAS
NOT CAUSING THESE THINGS.
00:20:59.35\00:21:02.69
BUT THERE'S AN
ENEMY IN THE WORLD.
00:21:02.72\00:21:04.79
THERE'S GREAT EVIL IN THE WORLD
AND IF WE WANT THE LORD TO COME
00:21:04.83\00:21:07.60
AND TO STAND UP AGAINST THOSE
THINGS, WE NEED TO REACH OUT FOR
00:21:07.66\00:21:10.80
HIS HELP. GOOD NEWS
IS IT WON'T LAST FOREVER.
00:21:10.83\00:21:15.90
RIGHT NOW, JESUS SAID, 'INIQUITY
SHALL ABOUND AND THE LOVE OF
00:21:15.94\00:21:19.17
MANY WILL WAX COLD.'
THESE ARE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
00:21:19.21\00:21:22.88
WHEN PEOPLE - AS PAUL SAYS IN 2
TIMOTHY 3, "...IN THE LAST DAYS
00:21:22.91\00:21:27.58
PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME.
00:21:27.62\00:21:29.28
FOR MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF THEIR
OWN SELVES, COVETOUS, BOASTERS,
00:21:29.32\00:21:32.29
PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT
TO PARENTS, UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY,
00:21:32.32\00:21:38.59
WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTIONS..."
THE NATURAL RESPONSE IS FOR
00:21:38.63\00:21:42.60
ADULTS TO WANT
TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
00:21:42.63\00:21:45.77
HEBREWS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 14,
"INASMUCH THEN AS THE CHILDREN
00:21:45.80\00:21:50.37
HAVE PARTAKEN OF FLESH AND
BLOOD, HE HIMSELF" - JESUS -
00:21:50.41\00:21:54.58
"LIKEWISE SHARED IN THE SAME,"
- HE CAME INTO THIS WORLD AND HE
00:21:54.61\00:21:57.38
BECAME A HUMAN - HE BECAME A
BABY - "THAT THROUGH DEATH HE
00:21:57.41\00:22:01.92
MIGHT DESTROY HIM WHO HAD
THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE
00:22:01.95\00:22:06.29
DEVIL." DOES THAT MAKE
IT CLEAR WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?
00:22:06.32\00:22:09.79
JESUS IS GOING TO DESTROY THE
ONE WHO HAS THE POWER OF DEATH.
00:22:09.82\00:22:13.43
IT ALSO TELLS US IN REVELATION
HE'S GOING TO COME DOWN WITH
00:22:13.46\00:22:15.60
GREAT WRATH BUT YOU READ IN
REVELATION 20 AN ANGEL COMES
00:22:15.63\00:22:18.10
DOWN AND BINDS HIM.
SATAN IS GOING TO BE BOUND.
00:22:18.13\00:22:22.17
YOU KNOW, IN MATTHEW, WHEN ALL
THOSE BABIES DIED IN BETHLEHEM,
00:22:22.20\00:22:26.17
HE QUOTED FROM AN INTERESTING
PROPHECY IN JEREMIAH.
00:22:26.21\00:22:29.68
YOU KNOW - AND I HOPE SOME
OF THE FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN
00:22:29.71\00:22:32.98
TOUCHED BY THIS TRAGEDY
MIGHT, BY SOME CHANCE, FIND THIS
00:22:33.01\00:22:36.48
MESSAGE - AND I KNOW THEY'RE
ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS - AND
00:22:36.52\00:22:40.72
THE ONE THING YOU DON'T WANT TO
DO IS DOUBT GOD'S LOVE BECAUSE
00:22:40.76\00:22:44.59
HE'S THE ONE WHO'S
GOING TO HEAL THE PAIN.
00:22:44.63\00:22:47.30
WELL, THAT STORY IN JEREMIAH
- MATTHEW QUOTES FROM JEREMIAH -
00:22:47.36\00:22:51.77
JEREMIAH 31:15, "THUS SAYS
THE LORD: 'A VOICE WAS HEARD IN
00:22:51.80\00:22:55.17
RAMAH, LAMENTATION
AND BITTER WEEPING'..."
00:22:55.20\00:22:58.31
NOW WHY DOES IT SAY THAT?
00:22:58.34\00:23:00.61
RACHEL DIED JUST OUTSIDE
OF BETHLEHEM IN A PLACE CALLED
00:23:00.64\00:23:05.68
RAMAH, GIVING BIRTH TO THE
LAST OF JACOB'S BOYS - BENJAMIN.
00:23:05.71\00:23:10.79
AND THERE WAS GREAT MOURNING FOR
RACHEL. BUT HERE NOW IT SAYS,
00:23:10.82\00:23:13.99
"...RACHEL WEEPING FOR
HER CHILDREN, REFUSING TO BE
00:23:14.02\00:23:20.30
COMFORTED FOR HER CHILDREN,
BECAUSE THEY ARE NO MORE."
00:23:20.33\00:23:22.70
AND MOST PEOPLE
STOP RIGHT THERE.
00:23:22.73\00:23:24.90
BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU CONTINUE
TO READ THAT PROPHECY, GOD SAYS
00:23:24.93\00:23:27.70
THAT HE'S GOING TO
COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE WEEPING.
00:23:27.74\00:23:31.67
"THUS SAYS THE LORD: 'REFRAIN
YOUR VOICE FROM WEEPING, AND
00:23:31.71\00:23:35.68
YOUR EYES FROM TEARS; FOR YOUR
WORK SHALL BE REWARDED,' SAYS
00:23:35.71\00:23:39.68
THE LORD, 'AND THEY SHALL
COME BACK FROM THE LAND OF THE
00:23:39.71\00:23:42.42
ENEMY.'" THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE
WEEPING FOR CHILDREN THAT WERE
00:23:42.45\00:23:47.19
TAKEN BY THE ENEMY, THEY
WILL COME BACK FROM THE LAND
00:23:47.22\00:23:49.99
OF THE ENEMY.
00:23:50.03\00:23:51.39
'THERE IS HOPE IN YOUR
FUTURE' SAYS THE LORD 'THAT YOUR
00:23:51.43\00:23:54.10
CHILDREN SHALL COME
BACK TO THEIR OWN BORDER.'
00:23:54.10\00:23:57.70
YOU KNOW, THESE CHILDREN -
ESPECIALLY WHO DIE BEFORE THE
00:23:57.73\00:24:01.67
AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY - THE LORD
SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, I CAN GET THEM
00:24:01.70\00:24:05.51
BACK FROM THE
LAND OF THE ENEMY.'
00:24:05.54\00:24:06.91
WHO IS IT THAT HAS THE
POWER OF DEATH? THE DEVIL.
00:24:06.94\00:24:09.68
CAN JESUS CONQUER
THAT POWER OF DEATH?
00:24:09.71\00:24:13.48
GOD'S OWN SON - HIS BABY - HE
WAS MASSACRED IN A TERRIBLE WAY
00:24:13.52\00:24:19.39
- BRUTALLY - BY THE DEVIL.
DID GOD BRING HIS SON BACK?
00:24:19.42\00:24:23.93
AND HE CAN ALSO
RESCUE THE OTHER CHILDREN.
00:24:23.96\00:24:26.49
THIS LIFE IS TEMPORARY.
00:24:26.53\00:24:28.46
BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE
GOOD NEWS ABOUT WHY JESUS CAME.
00:24:28.50\00:24:31.10
SO HERE'S THAT QUESTION.
WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENS - WHEN ALL
00:24:31.13\00:24:34.87
THESE TERRIBLE THINGS
HAPPEN - WHERE WAS GOD?
00:24:34.90\00:24:38.77
WELL, WHEN THAT MASSACRE
HAPPENED 2,000 YEARS AGO IN
00:24:38.81\00:24:41.68
BETHLEHEM, WHERE WAS JESUS?
HE WAS RIGHT HERE ON THE PLANET
00:24:41.71\00:24:46.18
LIVING AS A HUMAN AMONG
US AND IT STILL HAPPENED.
00:24:46.21\00:24:50.69
DOES IT MEAN THAT GOD DOESN'T
LOVE US OR DOES IT MEAN THAT
00:24:50.72\00:24:53.82
THERE'S A WAR? AND OUR
ONLY SAFETY IN THIS WAR
00:24:53.86\00:24:57.23
IS TO TRUST OUR LIVES INTO HIS
HANDS - TO PRAY, TO REPENT OF
00:24:57.26\00:25:02.76
OUR SINS, TO COME TO HIM AND TO
PLEAD AND TO PRAY THAT HE WILL
00:25:02.80\00:25:07.27
INTERVENE - THAT HE WILL
SET A HEDGE OF ANGELS ABOUT US.
00:25:07.30\00:25:11.37
AND EVEN IF SOME TROUBLE OR
CALAMITY COMES TO US, THAT WE
00:25:11.41\00:25:14.28
WON'T LOSE FAITH AND WE CAN
STILL SAY, 'EVEN THOUGH HE SLAY
00:25:14.31\00:25:17.51
ME, YET WILL I TRUST HIM.' AMEN?
00:25:17.55\00:25:21.08
>>LIFE'S A CURIOUS THING.
I MEAN, JUST WHEN THINGS SEEM
00:25:21.12\00:25:25.19
UNDER CONTROL - WHAM! -
YOU'RE HIT WITH SOMETHING NEW.
00:25:25.22\00:25:28.79
YOUR MARRIAGE IS GOOD. SUDDENLY
IT'S ON THE BRINK OF DIVORCE.
00:25:28.82\00:25:33.70
THAT JOB'S GREAT AND THEN IT'S
GONE AND SO'S YOUR LIFE SAVINGS.
00:25:33.73\00:25:39.50
YOU FEEL HEALTHY AND THEN
YOUR DOCTOR GIVES THE BAD NEWS.

COULD LOOK TO THE STARS BUT

ANSWERS. BUT THIS DOES.
