>>THE TITLE FOR OUR LESSON
TONIGHT IS THE RETURN OF THE
00:01:43.30\00:01:46.80
KING , AND THE STORY THAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT TONIGHT COMES FROM
00:01:46.80\00:01:50.94
2 KINGS CHAPTER 11.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST WICKED
00:01:50.94\00:01:54.64
QUEENS IN HISTORY WAS
THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL.
00:01:54.64\00:01:57.75
YOU EVER HEARD THE
NAME JEZEBEL BEFORE?
00:01:57.75\00:02:00.58
SHE HAD A DAUGHTER THAT REALLY
WAS EVEN WORSE THAN THE MOTHER.
00:02:00.58\00:02:03.62
HER NAME WAS ATHALIAH. AND
WHILE JEZEBEL WAS WILLING TO
00:02:03.62\00:02:07.09
KILL THE PROPHETS OF GOD,
ATHALIAH WAS WILLING TO KILL HER
00:02:07.09\00:02:10.46
OWN GRANDCHILDREN. WHEN
HER SON, AHAZIAH, DIED IN
00:02:10.46\00:02:14.56
BATTLE, SHE DID NOT WANT TO
SHARE THE THRONE WITH ANYONE.
00:02:14.56\00:02:17.80
SHE SEIZED POWER BY TRYING TO
ELIMINATE ALL OF THE ROYAL SEED
00:02:17.80\00:02:23.00
OF DAVID AND SHE HAD HER
GRANDCHILDREN EXTERMINATED.
00:02:23.00\00:02:28.71
AND HER SON AHAZIAH HAD SEVERAL
CHILDREN BUT, ONE THEM WHO WAS
00:02:28.71\00:02:33.08
ONE YEAR OLD, HIS NAME WAS JOASH
- ACTUALLY, AHAZIAH'S SISTER,
00:02:33.08\00:02:38.55
JOHASHEBA, SHE SCOOPED HIM UP,
SPIRITED HIM AWAY, AND HID HIM -
00:02:38.55\00:02:43.79
THE HIGH PRIEST GUARDED HIM IN
THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THAT WAS
00:02:43.79\00:02:46.80
LARGELY NEGLECTED DURING THE
TIME OF ATHALIAH, BECAUSE SHE
00:02:46.80\00:02:49.36
WAS A PAGAN QUEEN. AND SO THIS
BABY WAS HIDDEN THERE IN THE
00:02:49.36\00:02:53.30
TEMPLE OF GOD. FOR SIX YEARS THE
HIGH PRIEST JEHOIADA CAREFULLY
00:02:53.30\00:02:58.04
TRAINED THIS CHILD,
KNOWING HE WOULD BE THE KING.
00:02:58.04\00:03:00.71
THEY KNEW THEY COULDN'T HIDE HIM
FOREVER AND, YOU KNOW, LITTLE
00:03:00.71\00:03:03.14
BOYS HAVE TO GO OUT AND PLAY
AND HERE HE WAS COOPED UP IN THE
00:03:03.14\00:03:05.88
TEMPLE FOR YEARS - PROBABLY
DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A SUNTAN -
00:03:05.88\00:03:08.32
AND FINALLY THEY SAID, 'LOOK, WE
NEED TO PRESENT HIM, EVEN THOUGH
00:03:08.32\00:03:11.09
HE'S YOUNG, BEFORE THE PEOPLE.'
AND SO, AT THE END OF SIX YEARS
00:03:11.09\00:03:15.26
OF ATHALIAH'S REIGN,
THEY BROUGHT JOASH OUT.
00:03:15.26\00:03:19.29
THEY DID IT JUST AS THE SABBATH
WAS BEGINNING, ON THE SIXTH DAY
00:03:19.29\00:03:21.96
OF THE WEEK, AND HE TOLD THE
PEOPLE - THE SOLDIERS - GUARD
00:03:21.96\00:03:26.80
THE KING, BLOW THE TRUMPETS.
THE PEOPLE CAME TO THE TEMPLE.
00:03:26.80\00:03:30.34
THEY FOUND OUT THAT A SON OF
DAVID HAD NOT BEEN KILLED. THERE
00:03:30.34\00:03:33.04
WAS STILL A SURVIVOR. THEY PUT
THE CROWN ON HIS LITTLE HEAD.
00:03:33.04\00:03:36.48
THEY PUT THE
TESTIMONY IN HIS HAND.
00:03:36.48\00:03:38.51
ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED AND
THEY SAID, 'LONG LIVE THE KING!'
00:03:38.51\00:03:41.08
AND ATHALIAH HEARD THIS RUCKUS
FROM THE PALACE - THE TEMPLE
00:03:41.08\00:03:43.69
WASN'T FAR AWAY - SHE CAME
RUNNING AND SHE SAID, 'TREASON!
00:03:43.69\00:03:46.96
TREASON!' AND THE
BIBLE TELLS US SHE WAS
00:03:46.96\00:03:49.62
CARRIED OFF AND ALL OF HER
SUPPORTERS WERE DESTROYED AND
00:03:49.62\00:03:52.99
THE PEOPLE
REJOICED AND JOASH SURVIVED.
00:03:52.99\00:03:57.17
THIS IS THE SON OF DAVID WHO WAS
HIDDEN IN THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
00:03:57.17\00:04:00.07
FOR SIX YEARS. WHEN HE CAME OUT
OF THE TEMPLE THE TRUMPETS BLEW.
00:04:00.07\00:04:04.01
WILL THE TRUMPETS
BLOW WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:04:04.01\00:04:05.41
>>YES. >>THE PEOPLE REJOICED.
00:04:05.41\00:04:08.01
THOSE WHO
FOLLOWED HIM WERE SAVED.
00:04:08.01\00:04:11.31
THE KINGDOM WAS LIBERATED.
THOSE WHO FOLLOWED ATHALIAH WERE
00:04:11.31\00:04:14.25
DESTROYED. YOU GO TO
REVELATION AND YOU'LL
00:04:14.25\00:04:15.68
FIND OUT THERE'S THIS WICKED
QUEEN IN REVELATION 17, WHO
00:04:15.68\00:04:19.12
PERSECUTES THE PROPHETS AND
WANTS TO DESTROY THE ROYAL SEED.
00:04:19.12\00:04:23.59
THAT'S - SHE'S CALLED
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS .
00:04:23.59\00:04:26.80
IN REVELATION 17, THAT'S
WHAT IT HAS ON HER FOREHEAD.
00:04:26.80\00:04:29.40
ATHALIAH IS A TYPE OF HER.
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE YOU'LL SEE
00:04:29.40\00:04:32.90
PATTERNS THAT GIVE US LITTLE
PICTURES OF THE SECOND COMING.
00:04:32.90\00:04:35.94
ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE LESSONS
THAT YOU READ ABOUT IN THE BIBLE
00:04:35.94\00:04:40.48
IS THE RETURN OF CHRIST. IT'S
CALLED THE DAY OF THE LORD .
00:04:40.48\00:04:45.21
IT'S THE CULMINATION OF THIS
BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
00:04:45.21\00:04:47.95
IT'S NOT GOING TO GO ON FOREVER.
AND YOU JUST LOOK AT HOW THINGS
00:04:47.95\00:04:50.82
HAVE CHANGED IN ONE
GENERATION OF OUR WORLD.
00:04:50.82\00:04:53.19
HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU
REALLY THINK OUR WORLD CAN LAST
00:04:53.19\00:04:55.89
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING NOW?
00:04:55.89\00:04:57.86
JESUS SAID, 'UNLESS THOSE DAYS
BE SHORTENED, NO FLESH WOULD BE
00:04:57.86\00:05:00.70
SAVED.' NOW, I WANT TO BE
VERY CAREFUL AND VERY CLEAR.
00:05:00.70\00:05:05.13
I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU TONIGHT
ABOUT TWO PRINCIPLE THINGS -
00:05:05.13\00:05:08.64
MAYBE THREE - HOW JESUS IS
GOING TO COME - WE BELIEVE HE'S
00:05:08.64\00:05:14.58
COMING, BUT HOW
IS HE GOING TO COME?
00:05:14.58\00:05:17.15
BECAUSE JESUS SAID THERE WILL
BE MANY FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE
00:05:17.15\00:05:19.65
CHRISTS AND WE
DON'T WANT TO BE DECEIVED.
00:05:19.65\00:05:22.32
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
NEARNESS OF HIS COMING AND SOME
00:05:22.32\00:05:26.72
OF THE SIGNS THAT TELL US ABOUT
THE NEARNESS OF HIS COMING.
00:05:26.72\00:05:30.46
SO, WITH THAT IN MIND, I WANT TO
SHARE WITH YOU SOMETHING JUST -
00:05:30.46\00:05:33.96
IT'S GOING TO TALK A LITTLE
BIT NOW ABOUT LOOKING AT THE
00:05:33.96\00:05:36.16
PANORAMA OF BIBLE STORIES THAT
TELL US WHY, I THINK, THAT THE
00:05:36.16\00:05:40.14
COMING OF THE LORD IS
CLEAR. YOU EVER HEARD BEFORE THE
00:05:40.14\00:05:43.47
MILLENNIAL WEEK THEORY ?
SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD OF IT.
00:05:43.47\00:05:47.81
IT'S LIKE THE 7,000-YEAR THEORY.
NOW THIS SPRINGS FROM A NUMBER
00:05:47.81\00:05:51.71
OF SCRIPTURES - AND I'M GOING TO
GET A FEW NOTES OUT HERE BECAUSE
00:05:51.71\00:05:55.98
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO
GIVE THESE TO YOU STRAIGHT.
00:05:55.98\00:05:58.55
THERE'S SEVERAL SCRIPTURES
IN THE BIBLE, FOR INSTANCE, IN 2
00:05:58.55\00:06:01.02
PETER CHAPTER 3, VERSE 8 IT
SAYS, "ONE DAY IS AS A THOUSAND
00:06:01.02\00:06:06.49
YEARS, AND A
THOUSAND YEARS IS A DAY."
00:06:06.49\00:06:09.60
AND WE KNOW THE LORD MADE
THE WORLD IN HOW MANY DAYS?
00:06:09.60\00:06:11.73
>>SIX.
>>BIBLICALLY, SIX DAYS AND HE
00:06:11.73\00:06:14.54
RESTED THE SEVENTH
DAY - SO A TOTAL OF SEVEN.
00:06:14.54\00:06:17.11
THE HISTORY OF MAN IS REALLY
DIVIDED UP INTO THREE PHASES.
00:06:17.11\00:06:23.04
ADAM, IF YOU GO BY BIBLE
CREATION - ADD UP THE AGES -
00:06:23.04\00:06:27.62
ADAM WAS CREATED SOMEWHERE
AROUND 6,000 YEARS AGO.
00:06:27.62\00:06:31.45
BISHOP USHER'S CHRONOLOGY USED
TO SAY 4004 BC. WE DON'T KNOW
00:06:31.45\00:06:35.52
THE EXACT DATE, BUT
APPROXIMATELY 6,000 YEARS AGO.
00:06:35.52\00:06:38.93
FOR THE FIRST 2,000 YEARS OF THE
WORLD'S HISTORY, GOD PREACHES
00:06:38.93\00:06:42.13
THE GOSPEL
THROUGH THE PATRIARCHS.
00:06:42.13\00:06:45.40
NOW, THAT WAS ENOCH, NOAH,
METHUSELAH - THEN, 2,004 BC,
00:06:45.40\00:06:52.51
APPROXIMATELY, ABRAHAM IS BORN.
FOR THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS GOD
00:06:52.51\00:06:56.91
COMMITS THE ORACLES OF TRUTH
TO THE JEWISH NATION AND YOU'VE
00:06:56.91\00:07:00.35
GOT, OF COURSE, ALL THAT RECORD
IN THE BIBLE OF THE HEBREWS AND
00:07:00.35\00:07:03.28
THE JEWS AND THEIR BEING
THE GUARDIANS OF THE WORD.
00:07:03.28\00:07:07.16
THEN, APPROXIMATELY
4 BC, JESUS WAS BORN.
00:07:07.16\00:07:11.56
FOR THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS GOD
PREACHES THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.96
CHURCH. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THIS
00:07:13.96\00:07:16.90
JUDGMENT - THIS MILLENNIAL REIGN
THAT HAPPENS - AND IT'S LIKE A
00:07:16.90\00:07:20.24
1,000-YEAR SABBATH. SO
YOU'VE GOT THIS PATTERN HERE.
00:07:20.24\00:07:23.34
"ONE DAY WITH THE LORD IS LIKE
A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A THOUSAND
00:07:23.34\00:07:25.57
YEARS IS A DAY." PSALM
90:4, "A THOUSAND YEARS IN
00:07:25.57\00:07:28.44
YOUR SIGHT ARE LIKE
YESTERDAY WHEN IT IS PAST."
00:07:28.44\00:07:31.85
PSALM 84, VERSE 10, "FOR A DAY
IN YOUR COURTS IS BETTER THAN A
00:07:31.85\00:07:34.45
THOUSAND." AND SO
MANY BIBLE SCHOLARS AND,
00:07:34.45\00:07:38.52
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GO FROM MARTIN
LUTHER UP THROUGH THE RANKS.
00:07:38.52\00:07:42.19
THEY ALL THOUGHT THAT THE
HISTORY OF MAN WOULD LAST ABOUT
00:07:42.19\00:07:45.13
6,000 YEARS. YOU'RE
LIVING IN THAT GENERATION NOW.
00:07:45.13\00:07:48.46
NOW, GOING BACK TO OUR STORY
ABOUT JESUS COMING FROM THE
00:07:48.46\00:07:52.67
TEMPLE. YOU KNOW,
IT SAYS IN HEBREWS
00:07:52.67\00:07:54.10
CHAPTER 8, VERSE 1, JESUS IS
OUR HIGH PRIEST IN THE HEAVENLY
00:07:54.10\00:07:57.01
TEMPLE. YOU CAN
READ THAT FOR YOURSELF.
00:07:57.01\00:07:59.47
JESUS IS THE SON OF
DAVID, LIKE LITTLE JOASH.
00:07:59.47\00:08:02.04
HE'S GOING TO COME
OUT OF THAT TEMPLE.
00:08:02.04\00:08:03.85
RIGHT NOW, HE IS
OUR GREAT MEDIATOR.
00:08:03.85\00:08:06.31
HE'S PLEADING HIS BLOOD BEFORE
THE FATHER - NOT THE BLOOD OF AN
00:08:06.31\00:08:08.45
EARTHLY LAMB - THE LAMB OF GOD
THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE
00:08:08.45\00:08:11.49
WORLD. SO WHO'S
THE KING THAT'S GOING
00:08:11.49\00:08:13.62
TO COME OUT OF THIS TEMPLE
IN HEAVEN? REVELATION 14:14,
00:08:13.62\00:08:17.26
"THEN I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD,
A WHITE CLOUD, AND ON THE
00:08:17.26\00:08:20.06
CLOUD SAT ONE LIKE UNTO
THE SON OF MAN," - THAT'S
00:08:20.06\00:08:25.63
ONE OF THE TITLES THAT
JESUS USED TO REFER TO HIMSELF -
00:08:25.63\00:08:28.34
"HAVING ON HIS
HEAD A GOLDEN CROWN."
00:08:28.34\00:08:30.27
SO JESUS IS THAT ONE
THAT'S GOING TO COME.
00:08:30.27\00:08:32.91
QUESTION #2: WILL JESUS
COME QUIETLY WHEN HE RETURNS?
00:08:32.91\00:08:38.48
IS IT QUIET WHEN JESUS COMES?
NOW, I'M GOING TO GET INTO THIS
00:08:38.48\00:08:40.88
A LITTLE MORE SO STAY WITH ME,
PLEASE. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
00:08:40.88\00:08:45.12
"FOR THE LORD HIMSELF
WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A
00:08:45.12\00:08:48.82
SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF AN
ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMPET
00:08:48.82\00:08:54.76
OF GOD" - IT'S A TRUMPET -
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S LOUD.
00:08:54.76\00:08:58.17
YOU CAN ALSO READ IN JEREMIAH
25, VERSE 30, "THE LORD SHALL
00:08:58.17\00:09:03.04
ROAR FROM ON HIGH, AND UTTER HIS
VOICE FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION;
00:09:03.04\00:09:08.51
HE SHALL MIGHTILY ROAR UPON
HIS HABITATION; HE SHALL GIVE A
00:09:08.51\00:09:13.18
SHOUT." SO AS
YOU READ THROUGH THE
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.65
BIBLE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE
COMING OF THE LORD IS A VERY
00:09:15.65\00:09:18.92
AUDIBLE EVENT. LET
ME GIVE YOU ONE MORE.
00:09:18.92\00:09:21.59
PSALM 50, VERSE 3, "OUR GOD
SHALL COME, AND SHALL NOT KEEP
00:09:21.59\00:09:26.86
SILENT...IT SHALL BE VERY
TEMPESTUOUS" - THAT MEANS STORMY
00:09:26.86\00:09:31.53
WITH GLORY - "ALL AROUND HIM."
NOW, I WANT TO BE DELICATE AS I
00:09:31.53\00:09:36.50
GO INTO THIS NEXT LITTLE
SEGMENT OF OUR LESSON STUDY.
00:09:36.50\00:09:41.68
I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY GODLY,
HEAVEN-BOUND PEOPLE IN MANY
00:09:41.68\00:09:47.15
DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS,
OKAY? EVERYONE HEAR ME?
00:09:47.15\00:09:49.72
I KNOW THERE'S SOME
DISAGREEMENTS AND, YOU KNOW,
00:09:49.72\00:09:52.75
YOU'RE WELCOME TO DISAGREE
WITH ME. WE CAN ALL DISAGREE, AS
00:09:52.75\00:09:57.23
CHRISTIANS, WITHOUT
BEING DISAGREEABLE, RIGHT?
00:09:57.23\00:09:59.73
BUT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU
WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVED FOR THE
00:09:59.73\00:10:02.46
FIRST 1800 YEARS
OF CHRISTIAN HISTORY.
00:10:02.46\00:10:05.47
WHAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU IS NOT NEW.
00:10:05.47\00:10:06.87
WHAT I'M
SHARING WITH YOU IS OLD.
00:10:06.87\00:10:08.47
THERE ARE THREE PRINCIPLE
VIEWS AMONG CHRISTIANS.
00:10:08.47\00:10:13.58
YOU'VE GOT - AND THERE'S
TECHNICAL WORDS - THEY CALL IT
00:10:13.58\00:10:15.84
THE PRE-TRIB, THE MID-TRIB, THE
POST-TRIB - AND IT MEANS SOME -
00:10:15.84\00:10:19.35
ALL CHRISTIANS AGREE THE BIBLE'S
VERY CLEAR THERE'S A GREAT
00:10:19.35\00:10:21.65
TRIBULATION CONNECTED WITH THE
SECOND COMING. BUT WHAT HAPPENS?
00:10:21.65\00:10:26.86
DOES THE TRIBULATION
HAPPEN AND THEN JESUS COMES?
00:10:26.86\00:10:29.92
DOES JESUS COME IN THE
MIDST OF THIS TRIBULATION?
00:10:29.92\00:10:33.53
SOME THINK IT'S THREE AND A
HALF YEARS INTO A SEVEN-YEAR
00:10:33.53\00:10:35.63
TRIBULATION - OR DOES THE LORD
COME AND THEN THE TRIBULATION
00:10:35.63\00:10:39.53
HAPPENS AFTER HE COMES? I'M
FROM WHAT WAS THE OLD GROUP.
00:10:39.53\00:10:44.07
IT USED TO BE THE TRADITIONAL
VIEW THAT THE CHURCH IS HERE,
00:10:44.07\00:10:48.68
AND THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, 'HE
THAT ENDURES UNTO THE END' - LET
00:10:48.68\00:10:52.88
ME ASK YOU: DOES THE BIBLE TEACH
THAT GOD SAVES HIS PEOPLE FROM
00:10:52.88\00:10:56.28
TRIBULATION OR
THROUGH TRIBULATION?
00:10:56.28\00:10:58.79
>>THROUGH. >>PAUL
SAYS, 'IT IS THROUGH MUCH
00:10:58.79\00:11:01.52
TRIBULATION' - IN THE BOOK OF
ACTS - 'WE ENTER THE KINGDOM OF
00:11:01.52\00:11:03.96
GOD.' JESUS SAID, 'YOU WILL
BE HATED OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY
00:11:03.96\00:11:07.40
NAME'S SAKE.' DID GOD SAVE NOAH
FROM THE FLOOD OR THROUGH IT?
00:11:07.40\00:11:11.13
>>THROUGH IT. >>DID
HE SAVE JOB FROM HIS
00:11:11.13\00:11:13.50
TRIALS OR
THROUGH THEM? >>THROUGH.
00:11:13.50\00:11:15.70
>>WHAT ABOUT JOSEPH, BEFORE HE
REIGNED, DID JOSEPH GO THROUGH A
00:11:15.70\00:11:18.61
TRIBULATION BEFORE
HE WENT TO THE THRONE?
00:11:18.61\00:11:21.21
DID MOSES HAVE TO
SUFFER IN THE WILDERNESS?
00:11:21.21\00:11:23.75
AND YOU FIND THAT ALL THROUGH
THE BIBLE, GOD OFTEN REFINES HIS
00:11:23.75\00:11:27.72
PEOPLE THROUGH THESE TRIALS.
THE LORD IS COMING FOR A BRIDE
00:11:27.72\00:11:31.35
WITHOUT SPOT OR
WRINKLE OR ANY SUCH THING.
00:11:31.35\00:11:33.76
THE TEN PLAGUES THAT FELL ON
EGYPT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE
00:11:33.76\00:11:37.69
SEVEN LAST
PLAGUES IN REVELATION.
00:11:37.69\00:11:40.23
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL - GOD'S
PEOPLE - WERE THEY IN EGYPT WHEN
00:11:40.23\00:11:44.93
THOSE TEN PLAGUES FELL? >>YES.
00:11:44.93\00:11:47.27
>>DO YOU KNOW THAT THE FIRST
THREE PLAGUES, THE CHILDREN OF
00:11:47.27\00:11:50.57
ISRAEL EXPERIENCED RIGHT
ALONG WITH THE EGYPTIANS?
00:11:50.57\00:11:53.84
THE LAST SEVEN PLAGUES, THEY
WERE PRESERVED FROM, JUST LIKE
00:11:53.84\00:11:57.75
WE WILL BE PRESERVED FROM
THE LAST SEVEN PLAGUES, BUT THEY
00:11:57.75\00:12:00.78
WERE IN EGYPT WHEN IT HAPPENED.
HE PROTECTED THEM FROM THE
00:12:00.78\00:12:04.72
PLAGUES. THE BIBLE SAYS,
'NEITHER WILL ANY PLAGUE COME
00:12:04.72\00:12:06.79
NIGH YOUR DWELLING' - IN PSALM
91. SO WILL WE BE IN THE WORLD
00:12:06.79\00:12:10.06
DURING THIS TIME OF
TROUBLE? I BELIEVE, YES.
00:12:10.06\00:12:13.09
DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSE 1, "AT
THAT TIME SHALL MICHAEL STAND
00:12:13.09\00:12:16.16
UP, THE GREAT PRINCE WHICH
STANDETH FOR THE CHILDREN OF THY
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.57
PEOPLE: AND THERE SHALL BE A
TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER
00:12:18.57\00:12:21.24
WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION
EVEN TO THAT SAME TIME: AND AT
00:12:21.24\00:12:24.54
THAT TIME THY PEOPLE SHALL BE
DELIVERED, EVERY ONE THAT SHALL
00:12:24.54\00:12:27.14
BE FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK."
THERE'S A GREAT TIME OF TROUBLE.
00:12:27.14\00:12:30.48
MICHAEL STANDS UP. WE'RE HERE.
00:12:30.48\00:12:32.91
SO HE DELIVERS US AT
THE CULMINATION OF THAT.
00:12:32.91\00:12:35.62
THE BIBLE IS CLEAR -
JESUS COMES LIKE A THIEF, RIGHT?
00:12:35.62\00:12:38.65
2 PETER 3, VERSE 10 - IT SAYS,
"BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:12:38.65\00:12:43.29
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT"
- NOW WHAT HAPPENS ON THAT DAY
00:12:43.29\00:12:47.03
THAT - WHEN THE LORD COMES?
"IN THE WHICH THE HEAVENS SHALL
00:12:47.03\00:12:50.33
PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE,
AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH
00:12:50.33\00:12:54.40
FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND
THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL
00:12:54.40\00:12:57.81
BE BURNED UP." DOES IT
SOUND LIKE LIFE GOES ON
00:12:57.81\00:13:00.38
FOR SEVEN MORE YEARS
AFTER HE COMES LIKE A THIEF?
00:13:00.38\00:13:03.04
THERE'S A LOT OF VERSES
LIKE THIS IN THE BIBLE, FRIENDS.
00:13:03.04\00:13:04.81
I THINK YOU NEED TO LET THE
BIBLE INTERPRET ITSELF AND WE
00:13:04.81\00:13:08.02
CAN'T LET BOOKSTORES AND
HOLLYWOOD TELL US WHAT THE BIBLE
00:13:08.02\00:13:10.95
TEACHES. ALRIGHT,
QUESTION #3: WHAT OTHER
00:13:10.95\00:13:13.32
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE WILL
ACCOMPANY JESUS' COMING?
00:13:13.32\00:13:16.49
ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE -
REVELATION 16, VERSE 18, "AND
00:13:16.49\00:13:20.60
THERE WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE,
SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE MEN WERE
00:13:20.60\00:13:25.00
UPON THE EARTH, SO MIGHTY
AN EARTHQUAKE, AND SO GREAT."
00:13:25.00\00:13:29.10
WHO WILL SEE
JESUS WHEN HE COMES?
00:13:29.10\00:13:31.61
IT TELLS US IN MATTHEW 24, VERSE
30, "AND THEN SHALL APPEAR THE
00:13:31.61\00:13:35.78
SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN
HEAVEN: AND THEN SHALL ALL THE
00:13:35.78\00:13:40.18
TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN, AND
THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN
00:13:40.18\00:13:46.12
COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN
WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY."
00:13:46.12\00:13:50.56
THEY'RE GOING TO SEE HIM COME.
00:13:50.56\00:13:52.06
HOW MANY? >>ALL.
00:13:52.06\00:13:54.00
>>EVERYBODY'S GOING TO
SEE HIM COME. REVELATION 1:7,
00:13:54.00\00:13:57.47
"BEHOLD, HE COMETH WITH
CLOUDS; AND" - IT TELLS US -
00:13:57.47\00:14:00.70
"EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM."
WHO WILL BE WITH JESUS WHEN HE
00:14:00.70\00:14:03.87
RETURNS IN THE
CLOUDS? IS HE COMING ALONE?
00:14:03.87\00:14:07.58
WELL, YOU CAN READ IN MATTHEW
CHAPTER 25, VERSE 31 - IT TELLS
00:14:07.58\00:14:12.35
US THERE - "WHEN THE SON OF MAN
SHALL COME IN HIS GLORY, AND" -
00:14:12.35\00:14:17.39
HOW MANY? - >>ALL.
00:14:17.39\00:14:18.65
>>"ALL THE HOLY ANGELS" - IT
DIDN'T SAY 'SOME' - IT'S NOT A
00:14:18.65\00:14:22.52
CONTINGENT - "ALL THE HOLY
ANGELS WITH HIM, THEN SHALL HE
00:14:22.52\00:14:26.96
SIT UPON THE
THRONE OF HIS GLORY."
00:14:26.96\00:14:28.60
QUESTION #6: WHAT WILL THE
BRIGHTNESS OF JESUS' COMING DO
00:14:28.60\00:14:31.83
TO THE LIVING WICKED?
NOW, WE KNOW THE SAVED ARE
00:14:31.83\00:14:35.40
CAUGHT UP AND THEY
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
00:14:35.40\00:14:37.44
YOU READ IN 1 THESSALONIANS
1:7 AND 8, "WHEN THE LORD JESUS
00:14:37.44\00:14:42.08
SHALL BE REVEALED FROM HEAVEN
WITH HIS MIGHTY ANGELS, IN
00:14:42.08\00:14:46.78
FLAMING FIRE TAKING VENGEANCE
ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT GOD.
00:14:46.78\00:14:51.85
AND THEN SHALL THAT WICKED
BE REVEALED, WHOM THE LORD SHALL
00:14:51.85\00:14:55.76
CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS
MOUTH, AND SHALL DESTROY WITH
00:14:55.76\00:15:00.66
THE BRIGHTNESS" - WHAT DESTROYS
HIM? "THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
00:15:00.66\00:15:03.70
COMING." SO, IS IT
BRIGHT WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:15:03.70\00:15:07.44
>>YES.
>>EVERYBODY'S GOING TO KNOW IT.
00:15:07.44\00:15:09.54
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
RIGHTEOUS AT HIS COMING?
00:15:09.54\00:15:12.97
SO, WE FOUND OUT WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN TO THE WICKED - 1
00:15:12.97\00:15:15.68
THESSALONIANS 4:16, IT TELLS US
- AND THIS VERSE IS VERY CLEAR.
00:15:15.68\00:15:20.12
MATTER OF FACT, I RECOMMEND YOU
READ THAT WHOLE CHAPTER - "THE
00:15:20.12\00:15:22.45
DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE LIVING
00:15:22.45\00:15:27.69
AND RESURRECTED SAINTS? THE
DEAD IN CHRIST ARE CAUGHT UP
00:15:27.69\00:15:31.26
FIRST - NOW DON'T MISS THAT.
THAT COMES UP LATER. HOW MANY
00:15:31.26\00:15:34.96
RESURRECTIONS ARE THERE? >>TWO.
00:15:34.96\00:15:37.20
>>OBVIOUSLY WERE YOU'VE GOT
A FIRST - YOU AT LEAST HAVE A
00:15:37.20\00:15:38.90
SECOND, RIGHT? IT'S A
SEQUENTIAL NUMBER - 'AND
00:15:38.90\00:15:41.60
THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST.'
'BLESSED AND HOLY IS HE THAT HAS
00:15:41.60\00:15:45.71
PART IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION'
- IT SAYS IN REVELATION 20.
00:15:45.71\00:15:48.78
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
LIVING AND RESURRECTED SAINTS?
00:15:48.78\00:15:51.61
YOU READ IN 1 CORINTHIANS
15, VERSES 52 AND 53, "THE DEAD
00:15:51.61\00:15:56.12
SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE,
AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED.
00:15:56.12\00:16:01.42
FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE" - THESE
BODIES THAT GET OLD AND DIE -
00:16:01.42\00:16:04.19
"THIS CORRUPTIBLE MUST PUT
ON INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL
00:16:04.19\00:16:07.23
MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY."
WHEN JESUS COMES, WE RECEIVE
00:16:07.23\00:16:10.87
GLORIFIED, IMMORTAL
BODIES. QUESTION #9: AFTER BEING
00:16:10.87\00:16:15.37
CHANGED, WHAT WILL
HAPPEN TO THE RIGHTEOUS?
00:16:15.37\00:16:18.91
SO YOU READ AGAIN - CONTINUE ON
HERE IN 1 THESSALONIANS 4:17 -
00:16:18.91\00:16:23.01
IT GIVES US MORE INFORMATION
- IT SAYS, "THEN WE WHICH ARE
00:16:23.01\00:16:26.21
ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT
UP" - THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE
00:16:26.21\00:16:30.19
WORD RAPTURE - IT MEANS TO BE
CAUGHT UP - "TOGETHER WITH THEM"
00:16:30.19\00:16:32.69
- THE RESURRECTED SAINTS - "IN
THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN
00:16:32.69\00:16:35.56
THE AIR." NOW DON'T MISS
THAT. MEET THE LORD WHERE?
00:16:35.56\00:16:38.73
>>IN THE AIR. >>IN THE AIR.
00:16:38.73\00:16:40.66
QUESTION #10: WHAT SOLEMN
WARNING DOES JESUS GIVE ABOUT
00:16:40.66\00:16:44.83
HIS SECOND COMING? IF
YOU READ IN MATTHEW CHAPTER
00:16:44.83\00:16:48.04
24, WHEN THE DISCIPLES CAME
AND THEY SAID, 'WHAT WILL BE THE
00:16:48.04\00:16:51.54
SIGN OF THESE THINGS -
DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM - SIGNS
00:16:51.54\00:16:55.64
OF YOUR COMING AND
THE END OF THE WORLD?
00:16:55.64\00:16:57.51
TWO OR THREE TIMES IN THAT
CHAPTER JESUS SAID, 'THERE'LL BE
00:16:57.51\00:17:01.45
MANY FALSE
PROPHETS AND FALSE CHRISTS.
00:17:01.45\00:17:05.02
BEWARE OF THE FALSE
PROPHETS AND FALSE CHRISTS.
00:17:05.02\00:17:08.32
MANY WILL ARISE AND SAY, 'I AM
CHRIST' OR 'HERE IS CHRIST' OR
00:17:08.32\00:17:11.06
'THERE IS CHRIST.' BY THE
WAY, IF YOU WANT TO STUDY THESE
00:17:11.06\00:17:14.73
THINGS YOURSELF, YOU MIGHT JOT
DOWN THESE CHAPTERS REAL QUICK:
00:17:14.73\00:17:18.50
MATTHEW 24, MARK 13, LUKE
17, LUKE 21 - THOSE ARE THE
00:17:18.50\00:17:27.58
PRINCIPLE PLACES WHERE JESUS,
HIMSELF, TELLS ABOUT HIS RETURN.
00:17:27.58\00:17:31.38
YOU JUST READ THAT FOR YOURSELF
AND YOU SEE IF IT SOUNDS LIKE A
00:17:31.38\00:17:34.92
SECRET WHEN JESUS COMES.
YOU JUST READ IT AS JESUS SAID
00:17:34.92\00:17:37.45
IT - SEE WHAT YOU THINK. I
THINK IT'LL BE PRETTY CLEAR.
00:17:37.45\00:17:40.82
WHAT SOLEMN WARNING DOES JESUS
GIVE ABOUT HIS SECOND COMING?
00:17:40.82\00:17:43.63
MATTHEW 24 - NOW WE'RE GETTING
INTO SOME OF THE ANSWERS FOR
00:17:43.63\00:17:46.39
QUESTION #10 - MATTHEW 24, VERSE
5 - JESUS HAS WARNED US, "FOR
00:17:46.39\00:17:50.33
MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME,
SAYING, I AM CHRIST; AND" -
00:17:50.33\00:17:53.77
DO WHAT? >>DECEIVE MANY.
00:17:53.77\00:17:55.44
>>DECEIVE A FEW? >>MANY.
00:17:55.44\00:17:57.04
>>A FEW? NO, MANY. MANY'S
THE MAJORITY. MOST PEOPLE IN THE
00:17:57.04\00:18:01.51
WORLD WILL BE DECEIVED BY THE
ANTICHRIST. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:18:01.51\00:18:04.88
THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID,
'STRAIGHT IS THE GATE THAT LEADS
00:18:04.88\00:18:07.75
TO LIFE AND FEW FIND IT.'
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE, FRIENDS,
00:18:07.75\00:18:10.02
BECAUSE IN THE BIBLE YOU'RE
GOING TO FIND THE WAY OF LIFE.
00:18:10.02\00:18:12.65
ANOTHER VERSE: MATTHEW 24:24 AND
26 - JESUS WARNED US: "FOR THERE
00:18:12.65\00:18:17.83
WILL ARISE" - HERE GOES - "FALSE
CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS, AND
00:18:17.83\00:18:23.33
SHALL SHEW GREAT SIGNS AND
WONDERS;" - SOME OF THESE FALSE
00:18:23.33\00:18:26.20
CHRISTS TODAY ARE JUST KOOKS,
BUT HE SAID SOME OF THEM WILL
00:18:26.20\00:18:29.24
HAVE SIGNS AND WONDERS -
"INSOMUCH THAT, IF IT WERE
00:18:29.24\00:18:32.01
POSSIBLE, THEY SHALL
DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT."
00:18:32.01\00:18:35.64
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN REVELATION
THAT THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS COME
00:18:35.64\00:18:40.68
OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE
BEAST, THE DRAGON, AND THE FALSE
00:18:40.68\00:18:42.72
PROPHET AND THEY GO FORTH
TO THE KINGS OF THE EARTH.
00:18:42.72\00:18:45.55
THEY ARE LYING SPIRITS
PERFORMING SIGNS AND WONDERS.
00:18:45.55\00:18:48.79
SO THERE'S GOING TO BE
REAL SUPERNATURAL POWERS SOME OF
00:18:48.79\00:18:51.66
THESE FALSE CHRISTS ARE GOING
TO HAVE. "IF THEY SAY UNTO YOU,
00:18:51.66\00:18:54.73
'BEHOLD, ...HE IS IN THE SECRET
CHAMBERS; BELIEVE IT NOT."
00:18:54.73\00:18:59.90
QUESTION #11: WHAT WILL
PREVENT THE RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING
00:18:59.90\00:19:04.34
DECEIVED? HOW
ARE WE GOING TO KNOW?
00:19:04.34\00:19:07.11
ISAIAH 8, VERSE 20 - AND HERE'S
THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, IT
00:19:07.11\00:19:10.78
SAYS, "TO THE LAW AND TO THE
TESTIMONY:" - THAT'S THE LAW AND
00:19:10.78\00:19:13.85
THE PROPHETS - THE WORD OF GOD -
"IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO
00:19:13.85\00:19:16.85
THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THERE
IS NO LIGHT" - HOW MUCH LIGHT?
00:19:16.85\00:19:21.76
>>NONE. >>"NO
LIGHT IN THEM." KEEP IN
00:19:21.76\00:19:24.06
MIND THAT THE DEVIL - DOES
HE KNOW HOW TO QUOTE THE BIBLE?
00:19:24.06\00:19:28.43
>>YES. >>AND
THERE'S A LOT OF FALSE
00:19:28.43\00:19:31.23
PROPHETS, EVEN IN THE RELIGIOUS
WORLD. WE ALL KNOW THAT.
00:19:31.23\00:19:34.60
QUESTION #12: WOULD IT BE SAFE
TO GO AND TO SEE A FALSE CHRIST?
00:19:34.60\00:19:40.34
SOMEONE SAYS, 'HEY, YOU'VE
GOT TO COME OUT IN THE DESERT;
00:19:40.34\00:19:42.31
THERE'S THIS GUY MEETING OUT
THERE. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
00:19:42.31\00:19:47.02
MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, VERSE 26
- JESUS SAID, "WHEREFORE IF THEY
00:19:47.02\00:19:51.62
SHALL SAY UNTO YOU, BEHOLD, HE
IS IN THE DESERT; GO NOT FORTH."
00:19:51.62\00:19:56.89
IF SOMEONE CALLS YOU UP AND
SAYS, 'YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK THIS
00:19:56.89\00:19:58.96
OUT. JESUS IS ON TV RIGHT NOW,
GO TO CHANNEL SUCH AND SUCH.'
00:19:58.96\00:20:03.00
I WOULDN'T EVEN TURN THE CHANNEL
AND LOOK. WHAT CAN WE KNOW
00:20:03.00\00:20:06.17
ABOUT THE TIME OF JESUS' RETURN?
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 36, IT TELLS
00:20:06.17\00:20:13.17
US THERE, "BUT OF THAT DAY AND
THAT HOUR KNOWETH NO MAN, NO,
00:20:13.17\00:20:21.68
NOT THE ANGELS OF
HEAVEN, BUT MY FATHER ONLY."
00:20:21.68\00:20:24.85
NOW SOMEONE WRITE DOWN THE
QUESTION 'JESUS SAID HE DIDN'T
00:20:24.85\00:20:28.09
EVEN KNOW THE DAY AND THE
HOUR OF HIS COMING; DOES HE KNOW
00:20:28.09\00:20:30.33
NOW?' WRITE THAT
DOWN. WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:20:30.33\00:20:33.23
BUT JESUS WAS PRETTY CLEAR.
HE SAYS, 'NOT EVEN THE SON, BUT
00:20:33.23\00:20:35.73
MY FATHER ONLY.' SO IS GOD
THE FATHER KEEPING A SECRET FROM
00:20:35.73\00:20:40.67
JESUS? I'M NOT
GOING TO TELL YOU.
00:20:40.67\00:20:43.30
YOU WRITE THAT DOWN
AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:20:43.30\00:20:45.71
ANOTHER ONE: MATTHEW 24:33,
IT SAYS, "WHEN YOU SHALL SEE ALL
00:20:45.71\00:20:50.25
THESE THINGS" - WE MAY NOT KNOW
THE DAY AND THE HOUR, BUT CHRIST
00:20:50.25\00:20:53.55
SAID, "KNOW THAT IT IS
NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS."
00:20:53.55\00:20:59.25
SO THERE'S A - THERE'S AN ARRAY
- THERE'S A BOUQUET OF SIGNS
00:20:59.25\00:21:04.09
THAT GOD GIVES US IN HIS WORD,
AND AS THESE SIGNS BEGIN TO LINE
00:21:04.09\00:21:06.93
UP, WE CAN KNOW
THAT THE TIME IS NEAR.
00:21:06.93\00:21:09.33
DOES THE LORD WANT THAT
DAY TO OVERTAKE US AS A THIEF?
00:21:09.33\00:21:13.50
2 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5 SAYS,
'YOU ARE NOT CHILDREN OF THE
00:21:13.50\00:21:16.14
NIGHT, YOU ARE
CHILDREN OF THE DAY.
00:21:16.14\00:21:18.57
THAT DAY SHALL NOT
OVERTAKE YOU AS A THIEF.
00:21:18.57\00:21:21.44
IT IS GOING TO OVERTAKE THE
REST OF THE WORLD AS A THIEF.
00:21:21.44\00:21:24.31
WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S COMING
AS A THIEF, IT DOES NOT MEAN
00:21:24.31\00:21:26.82
THAT IT'S GOING TO SURPRISE
THE CHURCH. WE SHOULD KNOW -
00:21:26.82\00:21:30.35
WE MAY NOT KNOW THE DAY AND
HOUR, BUT WE'RE GOING TO KNOW
00:21:30.35\00:21:32.12
WHEN IT'S NEAR. HE WANTS US
TO LIFT UP OUR HEADS AND LOOK.
00:21:32.12\00:21:35.79
DO YOU KNOW THE WORLD SPENDS,
RIGHT NOW, OVER 100 MILLION
00:21:35.79\00:21:38.43
DOLLARS AN HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES.
00:21:38.43\00:21:43.93
JESUS SAID THERE'LL BE
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
00:21:43.93\00:21:47.54
AND, I DON'T WANT TO FRIGHTEN
YOU, BUT YOU KNOW THOSE NUCLEAR
00:21:47.54\00:21:50.31
WEAPONS THAT WE
SUPPOSEDLY SCALED BACK?
00:21:50.31\00:21:52.77
THEY'RE STILL OUT THERE.
IT'S ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT
00:21:52.77\00:21:55.51
IS KEEPING THE WORLD
FROM IMPLODING RIGHT NOW.
00:21:55.51\00:21:58.21
IT SAYS IN REVELATION HIS ANGELS
ARE HOLDING BACK THE WINDS OF
00:21:58.21\00:22:00.65
STRIFE. WHAT WILL THE ANGELS
DO AT JESUS' SECOND COMING?
00:22:00.65\00:22:06.65
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 31, "HIS
ANGELS ...SHALL GATHER TOGETHER
00:22:06.65\00:22:10.59
HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR WINDS,
FROM ONE END OF HEAVEN TO THE
00:22:10.59\00:22:14.73
OTHER." THEY ARE GOING
TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER.
00:22:14.73\00:22:16.46
WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP TO
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.33
QUESTION #15: SINCE WE
ARE LIVING JUST BEFORE JESUS'
00:22:18.33\00:22:21.37
SECOND COMING, HOW SHOULD WE
RELATE TO THIS SOLEMN, GLORIOUS
00:22:21.37\00:22:25.84
EVENT? SHOULD WE BE
AFRAID OF CHRIST'S COMING?
00:22:25.84\00:22:28.91
THE BIBLE SAYS
IT'S A BLESSED EVENT.
00:22:28.91\00:22:30.95
JESUS TELLS US DON'T WAIT TIL
THE LAST MINUTE TO GET READY.
00:22:30.95\00:22:34.28
NO, IF YOU LOVE THE
LORD, YOU DON'T DO THAT.
00:22:34.28\00:22:36.65
>>AMEN. >>IT
SAYS IN MATTHEW 24:44,
00:22:36.65\00:22:38.99
"THEREFORE BE YE ALSO READY:"
- JESUS SAID - "FOR IN SUCH AN
00:22:38.99\00:22:43.02
HOUR AS YE THINK NOT
THE SON OF MAN COMETH."
00:22:43.02\00:22:46.56
IT MIGHT SURPRISE PEOPLE - SUCH
AN HOUR AS YOU DO NOT THINK.
00:22:46.56\00:22:50.10
QUESTION #16: HOW WILL PEOPLE
BE REWARDED AT JESUS' SECOND
00:22:50.10\00:22:54.87
COMING? ANSWER:
REVELATION CHAPTER 22,
00:22:54.87\00:22:58.34
VERSE 12 - HE SAID, "BEHOLD,
I COME QUICKLY; AND MY REWARD IS
00:22:58.34\00:23:03.71
WITH ME, TO GIVE EVERY MAN
ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE."
00:23:03.71\00:23:07.72
WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE BUT WE'RE
REWARDED BY OUR WORKS BECAUSE
00:23:07.72\00:23:11.35
YOUR WORKS WILL ILLUSTRATE IF
THE GRACE OF GOD IS REALLY ALIVE
00:23:11.35\00:23:14.49
IN YOUR HEART.
QUESTION #17: WHAT WILL THE
00:23:14.49\00:23:18.93
WICKED SAY WHEN JESUS
RETURNS? NOW STAY WITH ME.
00:23:18.93\00:23:22.53
THIS IS A LONG VERSE.
REVELATION CHAPTER 6, VERSE 15,
00:23:22.53\00:23:26.74
"AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, AND
THE GREAT MEN, AND THE RICH MEN,
00:23:26.74\00:23:31.21
AND THE CHIEF CAPTAINS, AND THE
MIGHTY MEN, AND EVERY BONDMAN,
00:23:31.21\00:23:34.78
AND EVERY FREE MAN, SAID TO THE
MOUNTAINS AND ROCKS, 'FALL ON
00:23:34.78\00:23:38.71
US, AND HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF
HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE:
00:23:38.71\00:23:42.62
...FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS
WRATH IS COME; AND WHO SHALL BE
00:23:42.62\00:23:46.35
ABLE TO STAND?" THAT'S THE
BIG EVENT IN HISTORY, FRIENDS.
00:23:46.35\00:23:51.49
JESUS IS COMING AND THE QUESTION
IS: WHO WILL BE PREPARED FOR HIS
00:23:51.49\00:23:54.76
COMING? WHAT
SHOULD BE MORE IMPORTANT
00:23:54.76\00:23:56.67
THAN PREPARING FOR ETERNITY?
WOULDN'T THAT BE THE PRIORITY?
00:23:56.67\00:24:01.30
WHAT ARE THE RIGHTEOUS
GOING TO SAY WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:24:01.30\00:24:04.41
ISAIAH 25, VERSE 9 - THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO BE SAD, THEY'RE GOING
00:24:04.41\00:24:08.28
TO BE THRILLED WITH GREAT GLORY.
THEY'LL SAY, "LO, THIS IS OUR
00:24:08.28\00:24:13.72
GOD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, AND
HE WILL SAVE US:" DO YOU BELIEVE
00:24:13.72\00:24:21.12
HE CAN SAVE YOU, FRIENDS? >>YES.
00:24:21.12\00:24:22.96
>>YOU CAN BE READY. IT
GOES ON TO SAY, 'WE WILL
00:24:22.96\00:24:24.76
REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN HIS
SALVATION.' SO WHY IS JESUS
00:24:24.76\00:24:29.50
COMING? TO DESTROY EVERYBODY?
00:24:29.50\00:24:32.40
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE
OF HIS SECOND COMING?
00:24:32.40\00:24:34.74
JOHN 14, VERSE 3, HE SAYS, "I
WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU
00:24:34.74\00:24:40.31
UNTO MYSELF;" -
HE'S COMING BACK FOR US.
00:24:40.31\00:24:42.88
THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED BY THE
BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING, BUT
00:24:42.88\00:24:45.91
THE MAIN REASON FOR HIS COMING -
HE SAYS, 'I'VE GONE TO PREPARE A
00:24:45.91\00:24:48.65
PLACE FOR YOU AND "I WILL
COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO
00:24:48.65\00:24:51.49
MYSELF THAT WHERE I
AM YOU MIGHT BE ALSO.
00:24:51.49\00:24:54.86
WE WILL LIVE WITH
GOD. ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
00:24:54.86\00:24:58.39
WHAT A JOY, FRIENDS.
HE WANTS US TO BE READY.
00:24:58.39\00:25:01.23
HE'S NOT GOING
TO FORGET ABOUT US.
00:25:01.23\00:25:03.33
HE WANTS YOU TO BE READY
NOW BECAUSE EVERY BREATH - EVERY
00:25:03.33\00:25:07.14
HEARTBEAT IS A GIFT FROM
GOD. THIS LIFE IS TEMPORARY.
00:25:07.14\00:25:10.74
WE ALL KNOW IT,
FRIENDS, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:25:10.74\00:25:12.67
>>I WANT TO BE READY.
HOW ABOUT YOU? (MUSIC)
00:25:12.67\00:25:18.55
>>I READ ONE TIME ABOUT A
PASTOR THAT DID SOME RESEARCH
00:25:18.55\00:25:21.58
AND HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION
THAT THERE ARE OVER 300
00:25:21.58\00:25:24.52
REFERENCES TO THE SECOND
COMING OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE.
00:25:24.52\00:25:28.39
OBVIOUSLY, IF THE RETURN OF
CHRIST IS SUCH A PRIORITY WITH
00:25:28.39\00:25:31.39
GOD, IT SHOULD BE
AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS.
00:25:31.39\00:25:34.46
WE NEED TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS
COMING, THAT HE'S COMING SOON,
00:25:34.46\00:25:37.97
AND SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S
COMING, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS
00:25:37.97\00:25:41.20
THE DEVIL IS GOING TO ATTEMPT
TO IMPERSONATE CHRIST'S RETURN.
00:25:41.20\00:25:45.17
WE NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
THAT'S WHY WE'VE PREPARED THIS
