>>NOBODY IN THE BIBLE WHO IS
RESURRECTED EVER MAKES A SINGLE
00:01:11.90\00:01:15.00
COMMENT ABOUT KNOWING OR
EXPERIENCING ANYTHING WHILE
00:01:15.04\00:01:18.27
DEAD. SO THE IDEA
THAT PEOPLE DIE AND
00:01:18.31\00:01:20.34
GO RIGHT TO HEAVEN AND
GET IMMORTALITY BEFORE THE
00:01:20.38\00:01:22.11
RESURRECTION IS NOT
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.

>>HOW MANY OF YOU WILL ADMIT
THAT YOU'VE WALKED THROUGH A
00:01:47.77\00:01:49.87
GRAVEYARD BEFORE AND
READ SOME OF THE TOMBSTONES?
00:01:49.90\00:01:54.34
MIGHT NOT HAVE
EVEN BEEN A FUNERAL.
00:01:54.38\00:01:57.08
AND YOU CAN LEARN
A LOT BY DOING THAT.
00:01:57.11\00:01:59.41
YOU KNOW EVEN SOLOMON SAID,
'BETTER TO GO TO THE HOUSE OF
00:01:59.45\00:02:03.42
MOURNING THAN THE HOUSE OF
FEASTING, FOR THE LIVING WILL
00:02:03.45\00:02:05.92
TAKE IT TO HEART FOR THAT IS THE
END OF ALL MAN.' ECCLESIASTES 7.
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.99
IN OTHER WORDS, WE ALL KNOW THAT
OUR LIVES EVENTUALLY WILL BE
00:02:09.02\00:02:12.13
SUMMED UP BY A DASH BETWEEN TWO
DATES AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US
00:02:12.16\00:02:16.77
TO REALIZE WHAT DO
WE DO WITH OUR LIVES?
00:02:16.80\00:02:19.50
AND WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THEY END? IS THAT IT?
00:02:19.53\00:02:22.87
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE OUGHT
TO UNDERSTAND AND THE BIBLE
00:02:22.90\00:02:26.37
ACTUALLY ADDRESSES IT.
00:02:26.41\00:02:28.54
AND SO, IN OUR PRESENTATION
TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:02:28.58\00:02:30.41
TALKING ABOUT
BEWITCHING SPIRITS.
00:02:30.45\00:02:32.11
YOU'LL BE SURPRISED THAT
PROPHECY DOES ADDRESS THIS
00:02:32.15\00:02:36.38
SUBJECT AND WE NEED TO BE
AWARE OF WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:02:36.42\00:02:40.12
AND IT TELLS A
STORY ABOUT KING SAUL.
00:02:40.16\00:02:45.26
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
THERE WAS A WAR BETWEEN THE
00:02:45.29\00:02:48.23
PHILISTINES AND THE ISRAELITES
AND, IN DESPERATION BECAUSE THEY
00:02:48.26\00:02:54.47
WERE GREATLY OUTNUMBERED, KING
SAUL TRIED TO GET THE PROPHETS
00:02:54.50\00:02:57.84
TO TALK TO HIM. THERE
WAS NO GUIDANCE FROM GOD.
00:02:57.87\00:03:00.14
GOD WAS SILENT BECAUSE SAUL
HAD CONTINUED TO REJECT GOD.
00:03:00.18\00:03:03.91
HE'D KILLED THE PRIESTS OF
GOD. HE WAS TRYING TO KILL KING
00:03:03.95\00:03:06.48
DAVID, THE ANOINTED OF GOD, AND
NOW IN A BATTLE HE THOUGHT, AT
00:03:06.51\00:03:10.69
THE LAST MINUTE, HE COULD
PRAY. GOD WOULDN'T SPEAK TO HIM.
00:03:10.72\00:03:13.32
SO IN DESPERATION,
SAUL SAID TO HIS ATTENDANTS,
00:03:13.36\00:03:17.29
'I NEED SOME ADVICE.
00:03:17.33\00:03:19.46
FIND ONE OF THE LOCAL WITCHES.'
AND THEY SAID, 'WELL, KING,
00:03:19.49\00:03:23.97
THAT'S ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO THE
WORD OF GOD, BUT WE DO HAPPEN TO
00:03:24.00\00:03:27.27
KNOW THERE'S A WITCH HERE IN
ENDOR.' HE SAID, 'I NEED TO TALK
00:03:27.30\00:03:30.94
TO HER. I NEED SOME MESSAGE.
MAYBE IF SHE COULD CONJURE UP
00:03:30.97\00:03:34.04
THE SPIRIT OF SAMUEL THE PROPHET
AND TELL ME WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO
00:03:34.08\00:03:37.18
DO.' SO HE DID THAT AND HE
WENT TO THE WITCH AND SHE WENT
00:03:37.21\00:03:41.92
THROUGH HER INCANTATIONS AND
THREW SOME GUNPOWDER ON THE FIRE
00:03:41.95\00:03:45.69
AND SMOKE CAME UP
AND SHE CRIED OUT.
00:03:45.72\00:03:48.69
AND HE SAID, 'WHAT DO YOU SEE?'
'OH, I SEE AN OLD MAN.' AND ALL
00:03:48.72\00:03:54.83
OF A SUDDEN SHE GAVE THIS
VERY DISCOURAGING MESSAGE THAT
00:03:54.83\00:03:57.43
OSTENSIBLY WAS FROM SAMUEL
THE PROPHET, THAT SHE CLAIMED TO
00:03:57.47\00:04:01.60
HAVE POWER TO CALL UP FROM
THE DEAD AND HE, THE PROPHET,
00:04:01.64\00:04:07.68
ACTUALLY THIS APPARITION OR THIS
SPIRIT, GAVE SOME TRUTH AND HE
00:04:07.71\00:04:13.68
MIXED IT WITH SOME ERROR
BUT GAVE AN UTTERLY DISCOURAGING
00:04:13.72\00:04:17.09
MESSAGE TO KING SAUL AND
BASICALLY SAID, 'WHY DID YOU
00:04:17.12\00:04:19.69
CALL ME UP? TOMORROW
YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITH
00:04:19.72\00:04:22.36
ME BECAUSE YOU'VE REJECTED GOD.
AND YOU AND YOUR SONS ARE GOING
00:04:22.39\00:04:25.16
TO DIE IN THE BATTLE
TOMORROW.' AND SAUL FAINTED FROM
00:04:25.19\00:04:29.93
DISCOURAGEMENT. SURE
ENOUGH, THE NEXT DAY, WHEN
00:04:29.96\00:04:34.97
HE WENT INTO BATTLE,
THEY LOST THE BATTLE.
00:04:35.00\00:04:38.57
THEY WERE SOUNDLY DEFEATED AND
- YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION
00:04:38.61\00:04:41.81
THAT A PERSON
FALLS ON THEIR SWORD?
00:04:41.84\00:04:45.88
THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENED TO KING SAUL.
00:04:45.91\00:04:48.02
NOW HERE'S A QUESTION: WAS IT
GOD WHO GAVE HIM THAT MESSAGE?
00:04:48.05\00:04:52.72
WAS THAT COMING
FROM SAMUEL THE PROPHET?
00:04:52.75\00:04:55.89
DOES A WITCH OF THE DEVIL HAVE
THE POWER TO RESURRECT A PROPHET
00:04:55.92\00:04:59.83
OF GOD? WE NEED TO
KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE
00:04:59.86\00:05:02.46
SAYS ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF DEATH.
QUESTION #1: WAS THIS FORM THAT
00:05:02.50\00:05:08.17
SAUL SAW, ACTUALLY
SAMUEL THE PROPHET?
00:05:08.20\00:05:12.44
ARE ALL MESSAGES FROM THE SPIRIT
WORLD TRUE OR DOES THE DEVIL
00:05:12.47\00:05:16.34
HAVE FALLEN ANGELS THAT CAN
MASQUERADE AS THE DEAD IF HE
00:05:16.38\00:05:18.81
WANTS? I TOLD YOU
IT'S ALSO A PROPHECY STUDY.
00:05:18.85\00:05:22.22
REVELATION 16:14, "FOR THEY ARE
THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS" - DOING
00:05:22.25\00:05:28.86
WHAT? - "WORKING MIRACLES."
00:05:28.89\00:05:30.83
ALRIGHT, IF WE STOP RIGHT THERE
YOU'VE GOT THE WHOLE POINT.
00:05:30.86\00:05:33.70
THE DEVIL HAS FALLEN ANGELS THAT
CAN WORK MIRACLES AND IT SAYS
00:05:33.73\00:05:39.73
THE BEAST POWER WILL GO SO
FAR IN THE LAST DAYS AS TO EVEN
00:05:39.77\00:05:42.54
BRING FIRE DOWN FROM
HEAVEN TO DECEIVE PEOPLE.
00:05:42.57\00:05:45.67
SO WE NEED TO KNOW, ARE THESE
DEAD PEOPLE OR ARE THEY FALLEN
00:05:45.71\00:05:51.01
ANGELS THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY
APPEARING TO EVERYBODY IN THE
00:05:51.05\00:05:54.15
LAST DAYS? WHAT DOES
THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT DEATH?
00:05:54.18\00:05:58.32
QUESTION #2: DO DEAD PEOPLE
COME BACK TO CONVERSE WITH OR TO
00:05:58.35\00:06:03.12
HAUNT THE LIVING?
ALRIGHT, WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF
00:06:03.16\00:06:06.13
SCRIPTURES FOR YOU. JOB
14:21, SPEAKING OF A PERSON
00:06:06.16\00:06:09.53
THAT DIES, JOB SAYS, "HIS SONS
COME TO HONOR AND HE KNOWETH IT
00:06:09.56\00:06:15.10
NOT; THEY ARE BROUGHT LOW, BUT
HE PERCEIVETH IT NOT OF THEM."
00:06:15.14\00:06:20.71
ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSES 5, 6,
AND VERSE 10, THIS IS WRITTEN BY
00:06:20.74\00:06:24.45
SOLOMON, "...THE DEAD KNOW NOT
ANY THING, NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY
00:06:24.48\00:06:30.25
MORE A REWARD; FOR THE
MEMORY OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN.
00:06:30.29\00:06:34.59
ALSO THEIR LOVE, AND THEIR
HATRED, AND THEIR ENVY, IS NOW
00:06:34.62\00:06:39.23
PERISHED;" - AND IT GOES ON TO
SAY, "NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE
00:06:39.26\00:06:44.03
A PORTION FOR EVER IN ANY THING
THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN."
00:06:44.07\00:06:48.27
MEANING IN THIS LIFE. THE
DEAD ARE NOT COMING BACK AND
00:06:48.30\00:06:51.74
FORTH FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH.
IT SAYS, 'THERE IS NO WORK, NOR
00:06:51.77\00:06:56.64
DEVICE, NOR KNOWLEDGE, NOR
WISDOM, IN THE GRAVE," - WHERE
00:06:56.68\00:07:02.38
YOU'RE GOING. THERE'S
NO KNOWLEDGE, NO WISDOM
00:07:02.42\00:07:04.09
- NOTHING'S HAPPENING IN
THE GRAVE. SEE DEATH, THE BIBLE
00:07:04.12\00:07:07.29
SAYS, IS A DREAMLESS SLEEP
WITH NO CONSCIOUSNESS OF TIME.
00:07:07.32\00:07:10.76
NOW THE REASON THIS IS IMPORTANT
IS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE, THEY
00:07:10.79\00:07:14.93
WON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE, BUT IF
A SPIRIT OF THE DEAD COMES AND
00:07:14.96\00:07:18.17
TALKS TO THEM, OHHHH,
THAT'D BE VERY IMPORTANT.
00:07:18.20\00:07:21.94
ACCORDING TO THE BOOK OF
REVELATION, WHO HAS THE KEYS OF
00:07:21.97\00:07:25.94
DEATH AND THE GRAVE?
WHO'S THE ONE WHO CAN ANSWER
00:07:25.97\00:07:28.91
THESE QUESTIONS THAT
WE'RE WONDERING ABOUT?
00:07:28.94\00:07:31.08
REVELATION 1:18, IT SAYS,
SPEAKING OF JESUS, "I AM HE THAT
00:07:31.11\00:07:36.52
LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD;
AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR
00:07:36.55\00:07:41.02
EVERMORE...AND HAVE THE KEYS
OF HELL" - NOW THAT WORD 'HELL'
00:07:41.06\00:07:43.93
THERE MEANS THE GRAVE AND DEATH.
AND SO, JESUS IS THE ONE WHO CAN
00:07:43.96\00:07:49.36
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT
DEATH FOR US. THERE'S A LOT,
00:07:49.40\00:07:52.10
NOT ONLY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
THERE'S A LOT IN THE NEW
00:07:52.13\00:07:54.37
TESTAMENT THAT WILL MAKE THIS
SUBJECT, I THINK, VERY CLEAR.
00:07:54.40\00:07:57.64
ALRIGHT, QUESTION #4: TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
00:07:57.67\00:08:00.64
DIE, IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD IDEA
TO UNDERSTAND HOW DID GOD MAKE
00:08:00.68\00:08:04.08
MAN IN THE BEGINNING? YOU
GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER 2 AND
00:08:04.11\00:08:08.28
IT GIVES YOU THE ANSWER.
'AND THE LORD, GOD,' - WHAT?
00:08:08.32\00:08:11.92
- 'HE FORMED MAN FROM THE DUST
OF THE GROUND AND HE BREATHED IN
00:08:11.95\00:08:16.46
HIM THE BREATH OF
LIFE AND MAN' - DID WHAT?
00:08:16.49\00:08:18.56
- 'HE BECAME A LIVING SOUL.' AND
THERE'S SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT
00:08:18.59\00:08:22.13
THE BREATH OF GOD'S LIFE BECAUSE
IT TOOK WHAT WAS NOTHING MORE
00:08:22.16\00:08:25.83
THAN CLAY AND REVIVED
IT AND GAVE IT VITALITY.
00:08:25.87\00:08:32.04
YOU'VE PROBABLY BEEN TO A
FUNERAL BEFORE AND MOST OF YOU,
00:08:32.07\00:08:34.64
AT SOME TIME, HAVE DONE A
VIEWING - YOU'VE SEEN A DEAD
00:08:34.68\00:08:37.21
BODY IN THE CASKET. I
KNOW IT'S NOT PLEASANT - AND
00:08:37.25\00:08:40.12
YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT MISSING.
00:08:40.15\00:08:43.05
THEY MAY BE ALL INTACT
THERE, BUT THERE'S NO LIFE.
00:08:43.08\00:08:47.86
THERE'S NO
CONSCIOUSNESS. THEY'RE DEAD.
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.66
THEY DON'T HAVE
THAT BREATH OF LIFE.
00:08:49.69\00:08:51.56
YOU NOTICE IT DOESN'T
SAY GOD GAVE MAN A SOUL?
00:08:51.59\00:08:54.73
WHEN YOU COMBINE THE SPIRIT OF
LIFE WITH THE ELEMENTS OF EARTH,
00:08:54.76\00:08:58.53
HE BECAME A SOUL. THE
TWO TOGETHER CREATE A SOUL.
00:08:58.57\00:09:02.57
A SOUL - IT DOESN'T SAY GOD PUT
A LITTLE SOUL IN MAN; HE PUT THE
00:09:02.60\00:09:05.84
BREATH OF LIFE IN MAN.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE ELEMENTS OF
00:09:05.87\00:09:09.68
EARTH THAT ARE IN THE HUMAN BODY
AND YOU HAVE THE BREATH OF LIFE,
00:09:09.71\00:09:13.18
YOU PUT THEM
TOGETHER - HE BECAME A SOUL.
00:09:13.21\00:09:15.82
WHEN YOU DIE WHAT HAPPENS?
IT'S SORT OF LIKE CREATION IN
00:09:15.85\00:09:19.09
REVERSE - AND THAT'S QUESTION
#5: AT DEATH, WHAT IS IT THAT
00:09:19.12\00:09:23.63
HAPPENS THEN?
ECCLESIASTES 12, VERSE 7, "THEN
00:09:23.66\00:09:28.26
SHALL THE DUST RETURN TO THE
EARTH AS IT WAS: AND" - IT GOES
00:09:28.30\00:09:32.07
ON TO SAY - "THE SPIRIT SHALL
RETURN UNTO GOD WHO GAVE IT."
00:09:32.10\00:09:35.04
'NOW THERE YOU HAVE IT, PASTOR
DOUG, THE SPIRIT RETURNS TO
00:09:35.07\00:09:37.21
GOD.' WELL, THAT WORD 'SPIRIT'
THERE IS THE WORD - IN HEBREW
00:09:37.24\00:09:41.71
IT'S RUACH - AND IT SIMPLY MEANS
'THE BREATH' RETURNS TO GOD.
00:09:41.74\00:09:46.38
IT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S THIS
LITTLE ETHEREAL GHOST THAT JUMPS
00:09:46.41\00:09:49.92
OUT OF A PERSON WHEN HE DIES AND
FLIES OFF CONSCIOUSLY TO GOD.
00:09:49.95\00:09:53.89
IT'S SIMPLY SAYING THE POWER OF
LIFE RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE IT.
00:09:53.92\00:09:59.23
BECAUSE IN THE BIBLE IT
ALSO SAYS THAT ANY CREATURE THAT
00:09:59.26\00:10:02.06
DIES, THE SPIRIT
RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE IT.
00:10:02.10\00:10:05.60
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF
LIFE IN ALL OF GOD'S CREATURES.
00:10:05.63\00:10:08.57
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING
BREATHES. WORMS BREATHE.
00:10:08.60\00:10:11.41
FISH BREATHE. PLANTS BREATHE.
00:10:11.44\00:10:13.64
IT'S THIS BREATH OF LIFE
THAT GOD GIVES HIS CREATURES.
00:10:13.68\00:10:17.65
LET ME GIVE YOU
SOME MORE PROOF FOR THAT.
00:10:17.68\00:10:19.48
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN JOB
27, VERSE 3, "ALL THE WHILE MY
00:10:19.51\00:10:24.75
BREATH IS IN ME, AND THE SPIRIT
OF GOD IS IN MY NOSTRILS"?
00:10:24.79\00:10:30.93
WHAT'S JOB TALKING
ABOUT THE SPIRIT HERE?
00:10:30.96\00:10:32.73
IT'S THE SAME WORD. IT'S BREATH.
00:10:32.76\00:10:34.60
ALL THE WHILE THE BREATH IS IN
ME AND THE WIND OF GOD - IS WHAT
00:10:34.63\00:10:36.90
HE'S SAYING - IS IN MY
NOSTRILS. THAT'S ALL THAT MEANS.
00:10:36.93\00:10:40.70
'NOW, WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE, PASTOR
DOUG, THEY DIE ON AN OPERATING
00:10:40.74\00:10:45.34
TABLE? MAYBE THEY, DURING
HEART SURGERY - THERE'S A CAR
00:10:45.37\00:10:48.78
ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING - AND THEY
SAID, 'I CAME BACK AND I WAS
00:10:48.81\00:10:53.28
BEING CAUGHT UP AND I HOVERED
AROUND. I COULD HEAR THE DOCTORS
00:10:53.31\00:10:55.88
TALKING AND' - OR
'I HAD THIS EXPERIENCE
00:10:55.92\00:10:58.55
WHERE ANGELS SPOKE TO ME AND
GOD SPOKE TO ME' OR 'I WENT TO
00:10:58.59\00:11:01.16
HEAVEN AND I GOT A GLIMPSE OF
HEAVEN.'' OR SOME HAVE DIED AND
00:11:01.19\00:11:04.56
THEY'VE HAD THESE "O.B.E.S"
- THEY'RE CALLED 'OUT OF BODY
00:11:04.59\00:11:07.96
EXPERIENCES' - AND THEY SAY, 'I
WAS DOWN IN THE GRAVE AND I WAS
00:11:07.96\00:11:12.07
IN HELL AND I HEARD PEOPLE
SHRIEKING AND I SAW MY OLD BOSS
00:11:12.10\00:11:15.10
THERE' - AND THEY HAVE ALL THESE
EXPERIENCES AND THEY WRITE BOOKS
00:11:15.14\00:11:19.67
AND THEY SELL LIKE CRAZY.
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:11:19.71\00:11:23.28
BASING THEIR THEOLOGY ABOUT
DEATH ON THESE VISIONS THAT
00:11:23.31\00:11:27.45
PEOPLE HAVE WHEN THEY'RE IN THE
OPERATING ROOM AND THEY 'DIE'.
00:11:27.48\00:11:32.09
IS THAT SAFE? YOU
KNOW WHAT'S INTERESTING?
00:11:32.12\00:11:35.62
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT COUNTRY YOU GO TO.
00:11:35.66\00:11:38.29
IF YOU GO TO INDIA WHERE YOU
HAVE PRINCIPALLY HINDU PEOPLE,
00:11:38.33\00:11:41.33
THEY HAVE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
WHEN THEY DIE - OR ALMOST DIE.
00:11:41.36\00:11:45.03
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T USUALLY
DIE, THEIR HEART STOPS BEATING,
00:11:45.07\00:11:47.64
THE OXYGEN IS ROBBED FROM THEIR
BRAIN, AND THEY HALLUCINATE.
00:11:47.67\00:11:52.34
APRIL 7, 2010: NEAR-DEATH
EXPERIENCES, SOMETIMES KNOWN AS
00:11:52.37\00:11:55.61
"N.D.E.S", ARE REPORTED BETWEEN
11 AND 23 PERCENT OF SURVIVORS
00:11:55.64\00:12:00.92
OF HEART ATTACKS,
ACCORDING TO PREVIOUS RESEARCH.
00:12:00.95\00:12:04.42
RESEARCHES IN SLOVENIA,
REPORTING ON THURSDAY IN A
00:12:04.45\00:12:07.19
PEER-REVIEW JOURNAL - THIS
IS A MEDICAL EVALUATION THEY DID
00:12:07.22\00:12:10.76
CALLED CRITICAL CARE -
INVESTIGATED 52 CONSECUTIVE
00:12:10.79\00:12:13.93
CASES OF HEART ATTACK
IN THREE LARGE HOSPITALS.
00:12:13.96\00:12:16.93
THE PATIENTS' AVERAGE AGE
WAS 53. 42 OF THEM WERE MEN.
00:12:16.97\00:12:21.24
11 PATIENTS OUT OF THAT GROUP
HAD NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES BUT
00:12:21.27\00:12:25.54
THERE WAS NO COMMON LINK BETWEEN
THESE, IN TERMS OF WHAT THEIR
00:12:25.57\00:12:28.08
AGE WAS, THEIR SEX,
EDUCATION, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS,
00:12:28.11\00:12:30.78
FEAR OF DEATH.
00:12:30.81\00:12:32.41
WHAT THEY FOUND WAS - THE COMMON
ASSOCIATION WAS HIGH LEVELS OF
00:12:32.45\00:12:36.79
CO2 IN THE BLOOD AND A
LESSER DEGREE OF POTASSIUM.
00:12:36.82\00:12:41.92
WHEN YOUR BLOOD IS ROBBED OF
OXYGEN, YOU WILL HALLUCINATE.
00:12:41.96\00:12:45.03
NOW, THE THING IS THAT,
IN INDIA, WHEN THEY HAVE A
00:12:45.06\00:12:47.60
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE,
THEY DON'T GO TO HEAVEN.
00:12:47.66\00:12:50.17
THEY ARE REINCARNATED.
WHEN YOU GO TO OTHER RELIGIONS
00:12:50.20\00:12:54.00
OF THE WORLD, THEY DON'T
HAVE CHRISTIAN HALLUCINATIONS.
00:12:54.04\00:12:56.30
YOUR HALLUCINATIONS THAT YOU
HAVE IN A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
00:12:56.34\00:12:58.91
ARE GOING TO BE
BASED UPON YOUR EXPERIENCE.
00:12:58.94\00:13:01.48
AND SO - 'OH, BUT PASTOR DOUG,
IT WAS SO REAL.' I'M NOT DENYING
00:13:01.51\00:13:06.05
THAT GOD MAY HAVE
SPOKEN TO YOU IN A DREAM.
00:13:06.08\00:13:10.15
GOD MIGHT SPEAK TO YOU
IN A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE.
00:13:10.19\00:13:13.49
THE QUESTION IS: DO WE BUILD OUR
THEOLOGY ABOUT WHAT TRUTH IS,
00:13:13.52\00:13:17.19
BASED ON A PERSON'S EXPERIENCE
OR DREAM WHEN THEIR HEART STOPS
00:13:17.23\00:13:22.33
BEATING ON AN OPERATING TABLE?
00:13:22.36\00:13:25.43
>>PERHAPS YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID
THAT IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH,
00:13:25.47\00:13:28.34
YOU'LL DIE. BUT NO ONE REALLY
WANTS TO TALK ABOUT DEATH.
00:13:28.37\00:13:32.77
DEATH IS THAT
PROVERBIAL ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
00:13:32.81\00:13:36.01
SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WHEN
YOU DIE, WELL, YOU TAKE ON SOME
00:13:36.04\00:13:39.08
NEW ESSENCE OR YOU ENTER
A NEW FORM - PERHAPS YOU'RE
00:13:39.11\00:13:41.92
REINCARNATED AS ANOTHER PERSON.
OTHERS BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU
00:13:41.95\00:13:45.65
DIE, YOU TURN INTO
FERTILIZER AND YOU'RE DEAD.
00:13:45.69\00:13:48.96
WHAT'S THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS
IMPORTANT SUBJECT THAT EVERYBODY
00:13:48.99\00:13:51.86
WILL FACE SOMEDAY?

00:14:19.95\00:14:22.76
GOD'S MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION.
00:14:22.79\00:14:26.49
QUESTION #6: WHERE DO THE DEAD
GO WHEN THEY DIE, ACCORDING TO
00:14:26.53\00:14:30.67
THE BIBLE? YOU READ
IN JOB 21, VERSE 32,
00:14:30.70\00:14:34.67
"YET SHALL HE BE BROUGHT TO THE
GRAVE, AND SHALL REMAIN IN THE
00:14:34.70\00:14:41.61
TOMB." WHERE DO THEY GO?
00:14:41.64\00:14:44.61
THEY'RE BROUGHT TO THE GRAVE -
WE KNEW THAT - AND THEY REMAIN.
00:14:44.65\00:14:47.28
'TIL WHEN? 'TIL
THE RESURRECTION.
00:14:47.32\00:14:49.92
LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAID - JOHN
5:28 AND 29 - "...ALL THAT ARE
00:14:49.95\00:14:56.56
IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS
VOICE, AND SHALL COME FORTH."
00:14:56.59\00:15:00.46
NOW THAT, TO ME, IS WHAT
THEY USED TO CALL A SLAM-DUNK
00:15:00.50\00:15:04.57
SCRIPTURE. THAT MEANS THAT'S
REALLY HARD TO ARGUE WITH.
00:15:04.60\00:15:08.34
JESUS SAID WHEN HE COMES
THERE'LL BE A TRUMP, THERE'LL BE
00:15:08.37\00:15:12.74
A SHOUT OF THE ARCHANGEL, THE
VOICE OF THE LORD, AND ALL THAT
00:15:12.77\00:15:16.21
ARE - WHERE? - IN
THEIR GRAVES, THEY HEAR -
00:15:16.24\00:15:18.68
FROM THEIR GRAVES - THEY
HEAR AND THEY'LL COME FORTH.
00:15:18.71\00:15:22.55
SO WHERE ARE THEY WHEN HE COMES?
ARE THEY FLOATING AROUND IN
00:15:22.58\00:15:25.82
HEAVEN OR ARE THEY IN
PURGATORY? ARE THEY IN LIMBO?
00:15:25.85\00:15:28.12
ARE THEY IN ABRAHAM'S
BOSOM? I'VE GOT ALL THESE IDEAS.
00:15:28.16\00:15:30.66
ARE THEY IN SOME TRANSCENDENTAL
STATE WAITING TO BE
00:15:30.69\00:15:33.06
REINCARNATED? NO, JESUS
SAID THEY'RE IN THEIR GRAVES.
00:15:33.09\00:15:37.07
THE BIBLE MAKES IT PLAIN
THAT KING DAVID WILL BE SAVED.
00:15:37.10\00:15:40.57
WE ALL AGREE? THIS
IS A GOOD KING DAVID,
00:15:40.60\00:15:42.17
KILLED GOLIATH, MAN
AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART.
00:15:42.20\00:15:44.47
IS HE IN HEAVEN NOW? >>NO.
00:15:44.51\00:15:47.44
>>NO. THIS IS
FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:15:47.48\00:15:50.55
PETER SAYS, ACTS CHAPTER 2 -
KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS AFTER THE
00:15:50.58\00:15:53.52
RESURRECTION OF JESUS.
DAVID'S STILL NOT IN HEAVEN YET.
00:15:53.55\00:15:56.48
'MEN AND BRETHREN, LET ME FREELY
SPEAK UNTO YOU REGARDING THE
00:15:56.52\00:16:00.12
PATRIARCH DAVID, THAT HE IS
BOTH DEAD AND BURIED AND HIS
00:16:00.16\00:16:07.46
SEPULCHER IS WITH US EVEN
TO THIS DAY.' HIS TOMB - KEEP
00:16:07.50\00:16:12.17
READING, HE SAYS
"FOR DAVID - VERSE 34 -
00:16:12.20\00:16:15.24
"FOR DAVID IS NOT
ASCENDED INTO THE HEAVENS".
00:16:15.27\00:16:19.74
NOW SOMEBODY SAY
'AMEN' IF THAT'S CLEAR.
00:16:19.77\00:16:21.94
>>AMEN. >>DAVID'S
GOING TO BE SAVED.
00:16:21.98\00:16:25.48
IS HE THERE YET? >>NO.
00:16:25.51\00:16:27.08
>>NOW IS ANYBODY
IN HEAVEN NOW? >>YES.
00:16:27.12\00:16:30.59
>>YEAH, THERE ARE SOME.
MARK CHAPTER 9, VERSES 1 THROUGH
00:16:30.62\00:16:34.02
8 - TWO INDIVIDUALS
APPEAR TO JESUS ON THE MOUNT OF
00:16:34.06\00:16:39.69
TRANSFIGURATION. WHO WERE THEY?
00:16:39.73\00:16:41.33
(INAUDIBLE) MOSES AND
ELIJAH. ARE THEY IN HEAVEN?
00:16:41.36\00:16:45.03
THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW THEY
GOT THERE. THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.
00:16:45.07\00:16:48.20
ELIJAH WENT TO HEAVEN IN A FIERY
CHARIOT. IN 2 KINGS CHAPTER 2
00:16:48.24\00:16:52.44
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THAT.
THEN YOU CAN READ, REGARDING
00:16:52.47\00:16:55.31
MOSES, IN THE
BOOK OF JUDE, VERSE 9.
00:16:55.34\00:16:58.18
IT SAYS, "YET MICHAEL THE
ARCHANGEL, WHEN CONTENDING WITH
00:16:58.21\00:17:02.45
THE DEVIL HE DISPUTED
ABOUT THE BODY OF MOSES."
00:17:02.48\00:17:05.52
MICHAEL CAME TO RESURRECT MOSES
AND THE DEVIL SAID, 'YOU CAN'T
00:17:05.55\00:17:09.32
HAVE HIM.' AND MICHAEL SAID,
'THE LORD REBUKE THEE.' AND
00:17:09.36\00:17:12.93
MOSES RECEIVED A
SPECIAL RESURRECTION.
00:17:12.96\00:17:15.33
IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, BUT
JEWISH TRADITION SAYS IT WAS
00:17:15.36\00:17:17.80
THREE DAYS LATER.
THEN THERE WERE SOME OTHERS
00:17:17.83\00:17:20.37
AROUND THE TIME OF
CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION.
00:17:20.40\00:17:23.44
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS
IN MATTHEW 27, VERSE 52.
00:17:23.47\00:17:26.71
WHEN JESUS DIED, IT SAYS THERE
WAS A GREAT EARTHQUAKE AND THE
00:17:26.74\00:17:31.61
GRAVES WERE OPENED, AND MANY
- NOT ALL - MANY BODIES OF THE
00:17:31.65\00:17:36.58
SAINTS WHO HAD FALLEN ASLEEP
- THIS IS A LOCAL RESURRECTION
00:17:36.62\00:17:39.19
AROUND JERUSALEM - WERE RAISED
AND COMING OUT OF THE GRAVES
00:17:39.22\00:17:42.86
AFTER HIS RESURRECTION.
THEY WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY -
00:17:42.89\00:17:45.66
JERUSALEM - AND
APPEARED TO MANY.
00:17:45.69\00:17:48.53
SO A NUMBER OF THE PATRIARCHS
AND PROPHETS AND SAINTS THAT HAD
00:17:48.56\00:17:52.20
LIVED AND WORKED AMONG GOD'S
PEOPLE THAT WERE BURIED AROUND
00:17:52.23\00:17:54.40
THERE. AS A TROPHY
- THE FIRST FRUITS -
00:17:54.44\00:17:57.11
THE LORD RAISED SOME OF THEM -
MAYBE LIKE ISAIAH THE PROPHET -
00:17:57.14\00:18:00.31
I THINK HE WAS IN THAT GROUP
- WHO HAD FORETOLD THE COMING OF
00:18:00.34\00:18:03.38
THE MESSIAH - WHO DIED AT
THE HANDS OF KING MANASSEH.
00:18:03.41\00:18:07.32
HE WAS MARTYRED FOR HIS FAITH.
I THINK THE LORD BROUGHT HIM
00:18:07.35\00:18:09.55
FORTH AND MAYBE MANY OTHERS
- MAYBE JEREMIAH THE PROPHET -
00:18:09.58\00:18:12.95
AND HE TOOK THEM ON TO HEAVEN
WITH HIM. SO SOME WERE THERE.
00:18:12.99\00:18:17.13
BUT THE GENERAL RESURRECTION OF
THE DEAD HAS NOT HAPPENED YET.
00:18:17.16\00:18:21.53
THAT'S STILL IN THE FUTURE.
QUESTION #8: BUT ISN'T IT TRUE
00:18:21.56\00:18:26.30
THAT THE SOUL IS IMMORTAL
AND THAT ONLY THE BODY DIES?
00:18:26.33\00:18:31.74
CAN YOU SHOW ME A VERSE IN
THE BIBLE THAT SAYS WE HAVE AN
00:18:31.77\00:18:34.81
IMMORTAL SOUL? HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD
00:18:34.84\00:18:40.15
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
OUR IMMORTAL SOULS?
00:18:40.18\00:18:44.39
IN SPITE OF THE FACT THERE IS
NO VERSE, WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT
00:18:44.42\00:18:47.92
PEOPLE - THEY SING ABOUT IT,
PREACH ABOUT IT - BUT YOU KNOW
00:18:47.96\00:18:50.93
WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS ABOUT IMMORTALITY?
00:18:50.96\00:18:53.16
YOU READ IN EZEKIEL 18, VERSE 4
- YOU KNOW WHAT IMMORTAL MEANS.
00:18:53.19\00:18:57.43
IT MEANS YOU CAN'T DIE.
'THE SOUL THAT SINS IT SHALL' -
00:18:57.47\00:19:03.47
WHAT? >>DIE.
00:19:03.51\00:19:04.47
>>IT'LL DIE. THIS IS
LIKE A DICTIONARY DEFINITION.
00:19:04.51\00:19:08.78
WHAT IS THE
PENALTY FOR SIN? >>DEATH.
00:19:08.81\00:19:10.68
>>YOU SEE, THIS IS THE FIRST
LIE THAT THE DEVIL TOLD ADAM AND
00:19:10.71\00:19:14.48
EVE. GOD SAID, 'IF YOU DISOBEY
YOU'LL DIE.' AND THE DEVIL SAID,
00:19:14.52\00:19:16.99
'DON'T LISTEN TO
HIM. YOU DON'T REALLY DIE.
00:19:17.02\00:19:19.92
YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE?'
SAD THING IS, THERE ARE EVEN
00:19:19.95\00:19:23.26
SOME CHRISTIAN PASTORS THAT ARE
PREACHING WHAT THE DEVIL SAID IN
00:19:23.29\00:19:26.23
THE GARDEN. GOD
SAID, 'YOU SIN, YOU DIE.'
00:19:26.26\00:19:30.40
1 TIMOTHY 6:15 - HERE'S ONE FROM
00:19:30.43\00:19:32.17
THE NEW TESTAMENT - AND THERE'S
MANY MORE - "...THE KING OF
00:19:32.20\00:19:35.27
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS;
WHO ONLY HATH IMMORTALITY."
00:19:35.30\00:19:40.78
WE DON'T HAVE IMMORTALITY,
IT'S A GIFT FOR THE RIGHTEOUS.
00:19:40.81\00:19:43.95
SO THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE DIE
AND GO RIGHT TO HEAVEN AND GET
00:19:43.98\00:19:46.05
IMMORTALITY BEFORE THE
RESURRECTION IS NOT WHAT THE
00:19:46.08\00:19:48.28
BIBLE TEACHES. 1
CORINTHIANS 15:51, "...WE
00:19:48.32\00:19:53.69
SHALL ALL BE
CHANGED." WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?
00:19:53.72\00:19:57.46
"IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING
OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP:
00:19:57.49\00:20:02.70
FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND,
AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED
00:20:02.73\00:20:06.13
INCORRUPTIBLE...AND THIS
MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY."
00:20:06.17\00:20:11.44
THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENS,
WHEN THE LORD COMES. AMEN?
00:20:11.47\00:20:13.78
>>AMEN. >>THAT'S
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
00:20:13.81\00:20:15.18
IF WE ARE GOING TO BE BIBLE
CHRISTIANS, LET'S JUST MAKE SURE
00:20:15.21\00:20:17.48
WE'RE STRAIGHT ON THAT.
QUESTION #10: HOW DOES THE BIBLE
00:20:17.51\00:20:20.95
REPEATEDLY REFER TO DEATH?
JESUS, SPEAKING OF HIS FRIEND
00:20:20.98\00:20:25.42
LAZARUS, THAT DIED, HE SAID,
'OUR FRIEND LAZARUS' - WHAT?
00:20:25.45\00:20:30.06
>>SLEEPS. >>HE SLEEPS.
00:20:30.09\00:20:32.79
AND THEY SAID, 'OH
GOOD, LORD, HE WAS SICK.
00:20:32.83\00:20:34.50
IF HE SLEEPS HE'LL START GETTING
BETTER.' JESUS SAYS, 'NO, HE
00:20:34.56\00:20:37.87
SLEEEEPS' - HE SAID, 'LAZARUS IS
DEAD.' THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID.
00:20:37.90\00:20:42.77
WHAT WORD DID JESUS
USE TO DESCRIBE DEATH?
00:20:42.80\00:20:45.17
>>SLEEP. >>SLEEP.
AND THEY SAID, 'OH
00:20:45.21\00:20:47.34
LORD, HE'LL GET BETTER.'
HE SAID, 'HE'S DEAD.' AND THEN
00:20:47.38\00:20:50.85
JESUS COMES TO RAISE LAZARUS.
HE'S BEEN DEAD FOUR DAYS.
00:20:50.88\00:20:53.95
WHEN HE FINALLY GETS DOWN
TO BETHANY, WHERE HE HAD DIED -
00:20:53.98\00:20:56.25
JESUS GOT THE NEWS - HE WAS UP
IN GALILEE - AND IT SAYS, 'WHEN
00:20:56.28\00:20:59.25
JESUS SAID THESE THINGS,
HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE,
00:20:59.29\00:21:02.46
'LAZARUS COME FORTH.' AND HE WHO
HAD DIED CAME OUT, BOUND HAND
00:21:02.49\00:21:09.06
AND FOOT WITH
THE GRAVE CLOTHES.'
00:21:09.10\00:21:10.63
HE CAME BACK TO
LIFE BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:21:10.67\00:21:13.44
NOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS
I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO MISS.
00:21:13.47\00:21:18.51
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY - I'M
JUST DOING THIS FROM THE TOP OF
00:21:18.54\00:21:21.81
MY HEAD - A DOZEN RESURRECTIONS
IN THE BIBLE. NOBODY IN THE
00:21:21.84\00:21:26.55
BIBLE WHO WAS RESURRECTED EVER
MAKES A SINGLE COMMENT ABOUT
00:21:26.58\00:21:29.98
KNOWING OR EXPERIENCING
ANYTHING WHILE DEAD.
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.09
SHOULDN'T THAT
TELL US SOMETHING?
00:21:33.12\00:21:35.19
THERE'S TOTAL SILENCE.
WHY? BECAUSE THEY WERE DEAD AND
00:21:35.22\00:21:38.39
UNCONSCIOUS. WHY
DOES SATAN WANT US TO
00:21:38.43\00:21:41.73
BELIEVE THAT THE SPIRITS
OF THE DEAD ARE REALLY ALIVE?
00:21:41.76\00:21:46.33
ANSWER: IT SAYS IN MATTHEW
24, VERSES 24 AND 25 JESUS SAID,
00:21:46.37\00:21:53.51
"FOR THERE SHALL ARISE FALSE
CHRISTS, AND FALSE PROPHETS, AND
00:21:53.54\00:21:59.48
SHALL SHEW" - NOT JUST ANY KIND
OF SIGN, BUT "GREAT SIGNS AND
00:21:59.51\00:22:05.22
WONDERS;" HOW CONVINCING
ARE THEY? "INSOMUCH THAT, IF IT
00:22:05.25\00:22:09.39
WERE POSSIBLE, THEY
SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT."
00:22:09.42\00:22:14.56
THAT'S WHY WE'RE
DOING THIS STUDY, FRIENDS.
00:22:14.60\00:22:17.60
WHAT'S GOING TO
PREVENT US FROM BEING DECEIVED?
00:22:17.63\00:22:20.20
ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND THE
PROPHETS - ACCORDING TO THE WORD
00:22:20.24\00:22:22.77
OF GOD - IF THEY DON'T SPEAK
ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, THERE'S
00:22:22.80\00:22:25.61
NO LIGHT IN THEM. IF
YOU SEE APPARITIONS, IF YOU
00:22:25.64\00:22:28.94
GET FEELINGS, IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM GOD.
00:22:28.98\00:22:32.38
BY THE WAY, WHAT I'M TELLING YOU
RIGHT NOW, THIS IS NOT SOME NEW,
00:22:32.41\00:22:36.92
UNIQUE THEOLOGY. IF
YOU'RE A PROTESTANT, THIS IS
00:22:36.95\00:22:40.26
WHAT MARTIN LUTHER BELIEVED.
IF YOU LIKE THE ENGLISH
00:22:40.29\00:22:43.06
TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE, THE
GUY WHO TRANSLATED IT, WILLIAM
00:22:43.09\00:22:45.63
TYNDALE, THIS IS
WHAT HE BELIEVED.
00:22:45.66\00:22:48.00
THIS USED TO BE WHAT
ALL CHRISTIANS BELIEVED.
00:22:48.03\00:22:50.70
THAT'S WHY THE OLD CEMETERIES
SAID 'R.I.P.' - REST IN PEACE.
00:22:50.73\00:22:54.90
BUT THE MORE POPULAR VERSION
OF PEOPLE GOING RIGHT TO THEIR
00:22:54.94\00:22:57.94
REWARDS BEFORE THE JUDGMENT AND
BEFORE THE RESURRECTION HAS SORT
00:22:57.97\00:23:02.94
OF ECLIPSED WHAT THE BIBLE
ACTUALLY TEACHES ABOUT DEATH.
00:23:02.98\00:23:07.85
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT? THE
DEVIL IS EXPLOITING THAT
00:23:07.88\00:23:11.15
TODAY AND THE MEDIA IS FILLED
WITH IT. AND HE'S GOT ALL OF
00:23:11.19\00:23:14.76
HIS ANGELS - HIS FALLEN ANGELS
- AND THEY'RE - THE BIBLE SAYS
00:23:14.79\00:23:18.29
MAN IS MADE LOWER THAN THE
ANGELS. THEY'RE VERY CLEVER.
00:23:18.33\00:23:20.60
THEY KNOW WHAT YOUR
GRANDMA SOUNDED LIKE.
00:23:20.63\00:23:23.73
THEY KNOW WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE.
THEY KNOW WHAT SHE SMELLED LIKE.
00:23:23.77\00:23:26.47
THEY KNOW ALL THEIR
LITTLE NUANCES. THEY KNOW LITTLE
00:23:26.50\00:23:28.57
SECRETS IN THE FAMILY NOBODY
ELSE WOULD KNOW, BECAUSE WE
00:23:28.60\00:23:32.97
DON'T WRESTLE AGAINST FLESH AND
BLOOD, BUT THERE ARE SPIRITUAL
00:23:33.01\00:23:35.21
FORCES THAT ARE AROUND US.
THERE'S A WHOLE SPIRIT WORLD
00:23:35.24\00:23:37.55
THAT WE DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
00:23:37.58\00:23:40.02
REVELATION 18, VERSE 23 - THIS
IS KIND OF FRIGHTENING - "...BY
00:23:40.05\00:23:43.95
THY SORCERIES WERE ALL NATIONS
DECEIVED." HOW MANY NATIONS?
00:23:43.99\00:23:51.33
>>ALL. >>ALL.
00:23:51.36\00:23:52.66
WHEN SAUL DECIDED TO SEE A
WITCH, DID THAT END WELL FOR
00:23:52.69\00:23:55.56
HIM? WE'VE GOT TO STAY AWAY FROM
00:23:55.60\00:23:58.23
THESE THINGS THAT GOD CONDEMNS.
REVELATION 18, VERSE 2,
00:23:58.27\00:24:03.07
"...BABYLON THE GREAT IS
FALLEN...AND IS BECOME THE
00:24:03.10\00:24:06.31
HABITATION OF DEVILS, AND
THE HOLD OF EVERY FOUL SPIRIT."
00:24:06.34\00:24:12.55
SO IS IT CLEAR IN REVELATION
THAT THERE ARE SPIRITUAL POWERS,
00:24:12.58\00:24:15.98
THAT THEY WORK MIRACLES,
THAT THEY DECEIVE THE NATIONS?
00:24:16.02\00:24:19.15
AND WE DON'T WANT
TO BE AMONG THAT GROUP.
00:24:19.19\00:24:21.56
AND GOD BROUGHT YOU - YOU'VE
TUNED IN - BECAUSE HE WANTS YOU
00:24:21.59\00:24:24.69
TO BE AWARE OF WHAT
THE BIBLE REALLY TEACHES.
00:24:24.73\00:24:27.03
THE REASON THIS IS IMPORTANT
IS BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY
00:24:27.10\00:24:29.73
CHRISTIANS THAT DON'T
UNDERSTAND THESE THINGS.
00:24:29.76\00:24:32.97
AND IT DOES MATTER.
ALRIGHT, 1 TIMOTHY 4 - THE
00:24:33.00\00:24:37.17
APOSTLE PAUL TELLS US HERE
IN VERSE 1, IN THE LAST DAYS, HE
00:24:37.21\00:24:39.94
SAID, "SOME SHALL DEPART FROM
THE FAITH," - AND WHAT HAPPENS
00:24:39.97\00:24:44.91
WHEN THEY DEPART? -
"GIVING HEED - LISTENING TO -
00:24:44.95\00:24:48.45
"SEDUCING SPIRITS,
AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS."
00:24:48.48\00:24:54.49
THERE ARE DIABOLICAL DOCTRINES
OUT THERE, THAT HAVE FOUND THEIR
00:24:54.52\00:24:56.79
WAY INTO THE CHURCH, CONNECTED
WITH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON
00:24:56.83\00:25:00.93
DIES? IN EPHESIANS 5, VERSE 11,
THERE HE SAYS, "HAVE" - WHAT?
00:25:00.96\00:25:08.37
- "NO FELLOWSHIP WITH THE
UNFRUITFUL WORKS OF DARKNESS."
00:25:08.40\00:25:14.24
GOD DOESN'T WANT US TO
BE INVOLVED IN THESE THINGS.
00:25:14.28\00:25:16.78
DON'T EVEN GO TO THOSE PLACES.
QUESTION #15 - AND THIS IS OUR
00:25:16.81\00:25:20.45
LAST QUESTION - WHAT GLORIOUS
POWER DOES GOD OFFER HIS PEOPLE?
00:25:20.48\00:25:26.92
I DON'T HAVE TO
BE AFRAID OF DEATH.
00:25:26.96\00:25:29.42
THE BIBLE SAYS IN PHILIPPIANS
CHAPTER 3, VERSE 10, "THAT I MAY
00:25:29.46\00:25:33.03
KNOW HIM, AND THE
POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION."
00:25:33.06\00:25:38.33
NOW I THINK WE ALL KNOW
THAT FROM THE CRADLE WE ARE ON A
00:25:38.37\00:25:43.74
CONVEYOR BELT
THAT WE CANNOT STOP.
00:25:43.77\00:25:47.01
WE AGE. I'M REMINDED EVERY YEAR.
00:25:47.04\00:25:50.28
I DO ALL I CAN TO PROLONG MY
LIFE, BUT I KNOW, EVEN WITH MY
00:25:50.31\00:25:53.58
BEST EFFORTS, THAT ULTIMATELY
IT'LL CATCH UP WITH US.
00:25:53.62\00:25:57.19
WHAT I'D LIKE TO
DO IS DIE LIKE MOSES.
00:25:57.22\00:25:59.09
HE WAS 120, HE CLIMBED A
MOUNTAIN, HE FELT GREAT AND THEN
00:25:59.12\00:26:01.42
HE DIED. THAT'S
THE WAY TO DO IT.
00:26:01.46\00:26:04.83
BUT DO WE NEED TO
BE AFRAID OF DEATH?
00:26:04.86\00:26:07.96
>>NO. >>THE BIBLE
SAYS, 'HE THAT HAS
00:26:07.96\00:26:10.13
THE SON HAS LIFE. HE
THAT HAS NOT THE SON HAS NOT
00:26:10.17\00:26:14.30
LIFE.' YOU CAN
HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:26:14.34\00:26:16.74
DO YOU - I'VE GOT
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
00:26:16.77\00:26:18.14
LISTEN CAREFULLY.
CHRISTIANS DO NOT DIE.
00:26:18.17\00:26:25.31
YOU MIGHT SAY,
'PASTOR DOUG, WAIT A SECOND.
00:26:25.35\00:26:27.72
CHRISTIANS DON'T DIE?'
WHEN STEPHEN THE FIRST MARTYR
00:26:27.75\00:26:31.29
WAS STONED, IT SAYS HE WENT TO
SLEEP. CHRISTIANS GO TO SLEEP.
00:26:31.32\00:26:35.42
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF
DEATH ANYMORE THAN WE HAVE TO BE
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.53
AFRAID OF GOING TO SLEEP.
00:26:37.56\00:26:38.66
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU'RE A
BELIEVER, YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE
00:26:38.69\00:26:40.70
EXCITED ABOUT IT BECAUSE, IF YOU
SLEEP THE SLEEP OF DEATH, YOUR
00:26:40.73\00:26:44.10
NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS A
GLORIFIED BODY AND THE PRESENCE
00:26:44.13\00:26:47.20
OF THE LORD, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:26:47.24\00:26:49.00
>>BUT THAT'LL HAPPEN BECAUSE
YOU HAVE A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP
00:26:49.04\00:26:51.84
WITH JESUS. DO YOU KNOW HIM?
00:26:51.87\00:26:54.31
AND HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW
THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION.
00:26:54.34\00:26:58.18
