THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY PROGRAMS
NOW THAT ARE DEALING WITH
00:01:54.44\00:01:58.61
THE SUBJECT OF PREPPERS.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC HAS A
00:01:58.65\00:02:03.15
PROGRAM THAT SPECIFICALLY TALKS
ABOUT DOOMSDAY PREPPERS AND
00:02:03.18\00:02:07.39
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WONDERING WHAT'S COMING.
00:02:07.42\00:02:10.53
AND SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN RELIGIOUS.
00:02:10.56\00:02:13.23
THEY JUST SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN THE WORLD, THEY'RE WORRIED
00:02:13.26\00:02:15.36
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, THEY'RE
WORRIED ABOUT A NATURAL DISASTER
00:02:15.40\00:02:18.63
- THEY SAY 'WHAT WILL WE DO
IF AN ASTEROID STRIKES OR IF
00:02:18.67\00:02:21.70
THERE'S A TSUNAMI OR IF
THERE'S A SOCIAL MELTDOWN?'
00:02:21.74\00:02:25.17
OTHERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT
ARMAGEDDON AND THERE'S MORE
00:02:25.21\00:02:27.48
RELIGIOUS
OVERTONES TO THEIR FEAR.
00:02:27.51\00:02:30.31
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORRIED
- HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD ABOUT
00:02:30.35\00:02:32.78
FOLKS THAT ARE PREPPERS WHO ARE
TRYING TO GET READY FOR THE LAST
00:02:32.81\00:02:35.35
DAYS AND THEY'RE - THEY'RE
STORING UP BUCKETS OF BEANS AND
00:02:35.38\00:02:38.59
THEY'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, SOLAR
ELECTRIC AND ALL THESE THINGS
00:02:38.62\00:02:41.82
AND IT'S NOT
NECESSARILY A BAD THING.
00:02:41.86\00:02:44.39
KAREN AND I'VE HAD A CABIN IN
THE HILLS FOR 40 YEARS NOW AND I
00:02:44.43\00:02:47.56
THINK 35 YEARS WE'VE BEEN OFF
THE GRID AND IT'S JUST BECAUSE
00:02:47.60\00:02:51.40
THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY NEARBY.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING
00:02:51.43\00:02:55.37
THIS BECAUSE THEY THINK 'WHEN
THERE IS THIS MAJOR MELTDOWN WE
00:02:55.40\00:03:00.58
SOMEHOW WILL SURVIVE.' NOW
FOR YEARS FOLKS HAVE ACTED LIKE
00:03:00.61\00:03:04.61
'WELL THIS IS JUST A FRINGE
GROUP THAT'S WORRIED ABOUT
00:03:04.65\00:03:07.42
THAT.' BUT IT'S
NOW GOING BEYOND THAT.
00:03:07.45\00:03:10.69
I THINK IT WAS JUST LAST WEEK
WALL STREET JOURNAL PUBLISHED AN
00:03:10.72\00:03:14.02
ARTICLE THAT NOW THERE IS
ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THESE MEGA
00:03:14.06\00:03:19.03
MILLIONAIRES HAVE A PLAN OR
A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN PROTECT
00:03:19.06\00:03:24.37
THEMSELVES IN THE EVENT
OF SOME SOCIAL MELTDOWN.
00:03:24.40\00:03:29.44
YOU CAN SEE DOOMSDAY
PREP FOR THE SUPER RICH.
00:03:29.47\00:03:34.01
THEY BOUGHT THESE
DEACTIVATED MISSILE SILOS.
00:03:34.04\00:03:38.65
YOU'VE HEARD OF SKYSCRAPERS
THAT GO UP IN THE AIR?
00:03:38.68\00:03:41.28
THESE GO DOWN IN THE
GROUND AND THEY HAVE ROOMS.
00:03:41.32\00:03:45.45
AND IT'S THREE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR A LEVEL AND THEY ARE SELLING
00:03:45.49\00:03:49.29
OUT. BECAUSE
THESE MEGA MILLIONAIRES
00:03:49.32\00:03:52.06
AND BILLIONAIRES THEY'RE BUYING
SECURE SPOTS THEY'VE GOT THEIR
00:03:52.09\00:03:54.63
OWN WATER SYSTEM PURIFICATION,
AIR PURIFICATION, HYDROPONIC
00:03:54.66\00:04:00.10
FARMING - THEY GOT THE SWIMMING
POOL, THEY'VE GOT A THEATER
00:04:00.14\00:04:05.67
FOR 17 PEOPLE, THEY'VE GOT
A PHARMACY, A JAIL AND THIS IS
00:04:05.71\00:04:09.54
ALL BEING BUILT BELOW GROUND.
YOU KNOW, THEY THOUGHT, IF
00:04:09.58\00:04:13.58
ANYBODY KIND OF GETS
ODD, THEY'VE GOT THE JAIL.
00:04:13.62\00:04:16.55
TILL THEY COOL OFF BECAUSE YOU
KNOW IF YOU GET COOPED UP WITH A
00:04:16.58\00:04:19.22
BUNCH OF TYPE X MILLIONAIRES
ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
00:04:19.25\00:04:22.49
SO IT'S NOT JUST FRINGE GROUPS
THAT ARE THINKING ABOUT SOME
00:04:22.52\00:04:27.10
KIND OF CATASTROPHE THAT SEEMS
TO BE LOOMING ON THE HORIZON.
00:04:27.13\00:04:31.30
HEDGE FUNDS MANAGERS
MULTI-MILLIONAIRES AND
00:04:31.33\00:04:34.90
BILLIONAIRES FROM
SILICON VALLEY, THEY ARE MAKING
00:04:34.94\00:04:38.21
PREPARATIONS FOR WHAT THEY THINK
IS GOING TO BE INEVITABLE ONE
00:04:38.24\00:04:41.91
WAY OR THE OTHER AND YOU -
YOU CONSIDER WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:04:41.94\00:04:44.61
STUDY TONIGHT
AND YOU'LL SEE WHY.
00:04:44.65\00:04:46.35
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
TONIGHT ABOUT SIGNS OF JESUS
00:04:46.38\00:04:50.55
COMING. THE SECOND
COMING OF CHRIST IS
00:04:50.59\00:04:52.65
WHAT YOU WOULD CALL THE PINNACLE
OR THE HIGH POINT OF PROPHECY.
00:04:52.69\00:04:57.19
AND WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH
SORT OF A QUESTION AND ANSWER
00:04:57.23\00:04:59.66
METHOD THAT JUST
HELPS ME STAY ON TRACK.
00:04:59.69\00:05:02.23
AND SO IT CREATES AN
OUTLINE FOR OUR STUDY.
00:05:02.26\00:05:05.47
FIRST QUESTION IS: WHAT IS
ONE OF THE CENTRAL TEACHINGS IN
00:05:05.50\00:05:08.60
REVELATION? NOW YOU
MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTES.
00:05:08.64\00:05:11.74
WE'VE MENTIONED THAT THERE'S
SOME SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL THAT
00:05:11.77\00:05:14.48
YOU CAN GET TO GO ALONG
WITH THESE PRESENTATIONS BUT I'M
00:05:14.51\00:05:18.75
GOING TO GIVE YOU A FEW OF THE
SCRIPTURES JUST FROM REVELATION
00:05:18.78\00:05:21.25
SO YOU'LL KNOW THAT THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS IS NOT AN
00:05:21.28\00:05:24.29
AFTERTHOUGHT IN THE LAST
BOOK OF BIBLE - OF THE BIBLE.
00:05:24.32\00:05:28.39
FOR INSTANCE: REVELATION
1, VERSE 7 - FIRST CHAPTER -
00:05:28.42\00:05:31.39
"BEHOLD HE'S COMING WITH THE
CLOUDS AND EVERY EYE WILL SEE
00:05:31.43\00:05:34.93
HIM. EVEN THOSE
WHO PIERCED HIM."
00:05:34.93\00:05:38.33
- YOU CAN READ REVELATION 14:14,
"I LOOKED AND BEHOLD A WHITE
00:05:38.37\00:05:41.64
CLOUD AND UPON THE CLOUD ONE SAT
LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN HAVING
00:05:41.67\00:05:46.41
ON HIS HEAD A GOLDEN
CROWN." AGAIN TALKING ABOUT
00:05:46.44\00:05:50.21
THE SECOND COMING.
SOMEONE ON THE CLOUDS COMING -
00:05:50.25\00:05:52.65
JESUS IS COMING IN THE CLOUDS.
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 22,
00:05:52.68\00:05:56.32
VERSE 7 HE SAID,
"BEHOLD I AM COMING QUICKLY.
00:05:56.35\00:05:59.82
BLESSED IS HE WHO KEEPS THE
WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS
00:05:59.85\00:06:03.22
BOOK." NOW THAT'S THE LAST
CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE BUT WE'RE
00:06:03.26\00:06:06.06
NOT DONE YET. YOU GO
TO REVELATION CHAPTER 22,
00:06:06.09\00:06:08.43
VERSE 20, "HE WHO TESTIFIES
OF THESE THINGS SAYS, 'SURELY
00:06:08.46\00:06:12.43
I AM COMING' - HOW? >>QUICKLY.
00:06:12.47\00:06:14.90
>>QUICKLY. NOTICE HE'S COMING
QUICKLY, QUICKLY - AND YOU'RE
00:06:14.94\00:06:17.67
PROBABLY THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG,
JOHN WROTE THAT 2000 YEARS AGO.
00:06:17.71\00:06:22.74
GOD'S IDEA OF QUICKLY AND
MY IDEA OF QUICKLY ARE NOT THE
00:06:22.78\00:06:24.81
SAME.' (LAUGHTER) I
MEAN WE WANT FAST FOOD.
00:06:24.85\00:06:27.78
WE THINK OUR
MICROWAVES ARE TOO SLOW, RIGHT?
00:06:27.82\00:06:31.62
SO WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?
WELL STAY WITH US AND WE'LL TALK
00:06:31.65\00:06:34.56
ABOUT THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
HE WHO TESTIFIED OF THESE THINGS
00:06:34.59\00:06:38.13
SAID, "'SURELY I AM
COMING QUICKLY, AMEN.'
00:06:38.16\00:06:40.90
EVEN SO, COME, LORD
JESUS." ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
00:06:40.93\00:06:44.07
TEACHINGS OF THE BOOK. SO
WITH THAT IN MIND THAT THE
00:06:44.10\00:06:47.60
LORD SAYS HE IS COMING AND THAT
HE'S COMING QUICKLY, WHAT CAN WE
00:06:47.64\00:06:51.94
KNOW ABOUT THE
TIME OF JESUS' RETURN?
00:06:51.97\00:06:55.71
NOW THIS IS WHERE
YOU'VE GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL.
00:06:55.74\00:06:58.25
AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
CAREFULLY TO WHAT I'M SHARING.
00:06:58.28\00:07:00.85
WE CAN KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE
LORD COMING SOON, BUT BE VERY
00:07:00.88\00:07:04.89
CAREFUL ABOUT A GROUP THAT IS
GIVING YOU A DATE FOR THE LORD'S
00:07:04.92\00:07:07.92
RETURN. MATTHEW 24,
JESUS SAID, SPEAKING
00:07:07.96\00:07:11.16
OF HIS SECOND COMING,
"BUT OF THAT DAY AND THAT HOUR
00:07:11.19\00:07:14.76
KNOWS" - HOW MANY PEOPLE?
- "NO MAN" - NOT EVEN THE
00:07:14.83\00:07:18.33
ANGELS, BUT MY FATHER ONLY."
I'M SURE JESUS IS IN HEAVEN - HE
00:07:18.37\00:07:22.40
KNOWS NOW, BUT WHEN CHRIST WAS
ON THE - I MEAN, I DOUBT THAT
00:07:22.44\00:07:24.97
THE FATHER IS SAYING, 'OH, I
KNOW THE DATE BUT I CAN'T TRUST
00:07:25.01\00:07:27.58
YOU WITH IT.' BUT WHEN JESUS
WAS ON THE EARTH HE SAID, 'I
00:07:27.61\00:07:30.41
DON'T EVEN KNOW THE
DATE. MY FATHER ONLY KNOWS IT.
00:07:30.45\00:07:33.95
SO WHEN SOMEONE STARTS TO
PRESUME TO TELL YOU, 'I'VE
00:07:33.98\00:07:36.45
FIGURED IT OUT. I DID THE MATH.
00:07:36.48\00:07:38.12
I KNOW THE DAY AND THE HOUR OF
JESUS' COMING' - THIS GENTLEMAN
00:07:38.15\00:07:41.96
HERE, HAROLD
CAMPING, A VERY SINCERE MAN.
00:07:41.99\00:07:45.13
I DON'T QUESTION THAT. HE
WAS THE PRESIDENT AND ONE OF
00:07:45.16\00:07:47.60
THE FOUNDERS OF FAMILY RADIO.
THEY HAVE SOME GREAT CHRISTIAN
00:07:47.66\00:07:50.27
MUSIC - BUT I THINK MOST OF US
REMEMBER WHEN, A FEW YEARS AGO,
00:07:50.30\00:07:54.10
HE FORETOLD - I THINK IT WAS
2011 - THAT WAS THE SECOND OR
00:07:54.14\00:07:57.11
THIRD TIME HE PICKED A
DATE FOR THE SECOND COMING.
00:07:57.14\00:07:59.57
MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF HIS DATES
WAS, I THINK, 1994 OR 96 - I
00:07:59.61\00:08:04.01
DON'T REMEMBER - I WAS DOING
A SEMINAR AND, AGAIN, HE HAD
00:08:04.05\00:08:07.22
PICKED THE DATE AND IT REALLY
HELPED THE ATTENDANCE OF MY
00:08:07.25\00:08:09.15
SEMINAR. (LAUGHTER) BUT,
OF COURSE, JESUS DIDN'T COME.
00:08:09.18\00:08:12.82
AND I'VE ALWAYS MADE IT VERY
CLEAR THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT.
00:08:12.85\00:08:16.36
HE HAD A BIG DATE FOR MAY 11 -
OR MAY 21, 2011 AND WE ACTUALLY
00:08:16.39\00:08:21.26
INTERVIEWED HIM.
WE WERE ON FOX NEWS IN
00:08:21.30\00:08:25.13
SACRAMENTO BECAUSE I MADE AN
OFFER - HE HAD A GREAT NETWORK
00:08:25.17\00:08:29.27
OF RADIO STATIONS; WE SAID,
WE'LL GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS
00:08:29.30\00:08:32.04
FOR YOUR RADIO STATIONS.
YOU CAN USE NOW, BUT IF JESUS
00:08:32.07\00:08:34.71
DOESN'T COME YOU SIGN THEM OVER
TO US' - AND HE DIDN'T DO IT.
00:08:34.74\00:08:38.61
(LAUGHTER) AND SINCE THEN HE'S -
YEAH, HE WAS SINCERE - HE HAD A
00:08:38.65\00:08:43.72
STROKE SHORTLY
AFTER JESUS DIDN'T COME.
00:08:43.75\00:08:45.89
I THINK HE WAS DEVASTATED.
HE REALLY BELIEVED IT, BUT IT
00:08:45.92\00:08:47.99
MESSED UP A LOT OF
PEOPLE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:08:48.02\00:08:49.96
IT MADE
CHRISTIANITY LOSE CREDIBILITY.
00:08:49.99\00:08:52.66
THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT TO
BE CAREFUL ABOUT PEOPLE JUST
00:08:52.69\00:08:55.36
CONTINUALLY SETTING DATES
AND THEN IT'S THE NEXT DATE, AND
00:08:55.40\00:08:57.83
THEN IT'S THE NEXT THING.
I THINK WE NEED TO LIVE IN A
00:08:57.87\00:09:00.34
STATE OF EXPECTANCY BECAUSE,
IN REALITY, AS FAR AS YOU'RE
00:09:00.37\00:09:05.07
CONCERNED, IF YOU DIE YOUR
NEXT CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS THE
00:09:05.11\00:09:08.14
RESURRECTION AND THE
SECOND COMING OF JESUS.
00:09:08.18\00:09:10.31
>>AMEN! >>HE COULD COME
00:09:10.35\00:09:11.65
FOR YOU VERY SOON. AND
EVEN IF YOU LIVE 90 OR 100 -
00:09:11.68\00:09:16.52
200 YEARS, WHAT'S
THAT COMPARED TO ETERNITY?
00:09:16.55\00:09:20.26
OUR LIVES ARE PRETTY SHORT.
THE BIBLE SAYS A DAY WITH THE
00:09:20.29\00:09:23.02
LORD IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS.
NOW, JESUS DID TELL US WE DON'T
00:09:23.06\00:09:27.23
KNOW THE DAY OR HOUR BUT
WE CAN KNOW WHEN IT'S NEAR.
00:09:27.23\00:09:30.93
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 33, HE SAID,
"WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE THINGS
00:09:30.97\00:09:36.54
KNOW THAT IT IS"
- WHAT? - IT'S NEAR.
00:09:36.57\00:09:39.37
SO JESUS GAVE US SIGNS.
HE SAID, 'LIFT UP YOUR HEADS
00:09:39.41\00:09:41.78
WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS.'
HE WANTS US TO BE WATCHING.
00:09:41.81\00:09:44.81
FIVE TIMES IN MARK 13, WHEN
JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE SECOND
00:09:44.85\00:09:47.35
COMING, HE SAYS, 'WATCH
WATCH WATCH.' ACTUALLY IT'S FOUR
00:09:47.38\00:09:51.65
TIMES, BUT HE
WANTS US TO BE WATCHING.
00:09:51.69\00:09:53.79
HE SAID 'LEST COMING SUDDENLY HE
FINDS YOU SLEEPING.' AND THEN HE
00:09:53.82\00:09:57.33
GIVES THE PARABLE OF THE VIRGINS
WAITING FOR THE BRIDEGROOM.
00:09:57.36\00:10:00.83
THEY FALL ASLEEP
AND THEY'RE NOT READY.
00:10:00.86\00:10:02.60
AND SO HE WANTS US TO BE
THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND
00:10:02.63\00:10:05.13
SO WHEN YOU COME TO A PROGRAM
LIKE THIS AND WE TALK ABOUT THE
00:10:05.17\00:10:08.37
RETURN OF THE LORD - AND
THE CLOSING PROMISE IN THE BIBLE
00:10:08.40\00:10:12.14
TALKS ABOUT 'EVEN SO COME LORD
JESUS,' IT IS A GOOD THING FOR
00:10:12.17\00:10:15.68
CHRISTIANS TO TALK
ABOUT JESUS COMING BACK.
00:10:15.71\00:10:17.98
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:10:18.01\00:10:19.05
>>IT'S A GOOD THING.
DON'T SET DATES, BUT HE WANTS
00:10:19.08\00:10:21.32
US TO BE LOOKING AT
THAT. SO, IS HE COMING SOON?
00:10:21.35\00:10:27.32
LET ME GIVE YOU A BROAD IDEA
OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCOPE OF
00:10:27.36\00:10:30.93
HISTORY. THE
BIBLE SORT OF OUTLINES
00:10:30.96\00:10:34.03
HISTORY FROM - IN THREE GREAT
EPOCHS. YOU'VE GOT - FROM THE
00:10:34.10\00:10:38.27
TIME OF ADAM TO
ABRAHAM IS ABOUT 2000 YEARS.
00:10:38.30\00:10:43.04
WE DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT DATE FOR CREATION.
00:10:43.07\00:10:46.41
AMAZING FACTS SPENT A LOT
OF TIME DEVELOPING A BIBLE
00:10:46.44\00:10:48.78
CHRONOLOGY TIMELINE JUST ADDING
UP THE AGES IN THE BIBLE JUST TO
00:10:48.81\00:10:52.51
KNOW WHEN, YOU KNOW, DAVID LIVED
IN RELATION TO SAMSON AND THOSE
00:10:52.55\00:10:55.32
THINGS, AND WHEN IT GOT BACK TO
THE TIME OF ADAM AND CREATION,
00:10:55.35\00:10:58.62
YOU COULD JUST MAKE AN EDUCATED
GUESS AND EVEN IF YOU KNEW THE
00:10:58.65\00:11:01.56
DATE THAT WOULD NOT BE THE
WAY TO PICK A DAY FOR THE SECOND
00:11:01.59\00:11:04.86
COMING. JUST LOOKING AT THE
00:11:04.89\00:11:06.49
SCOPE OF HISTORY. ADAM
WAS BORN - YOU DON'T REALLY
00:11:06.53\00:11:09.80
SAY BORN, HE WAS CREATED
- ABOUT 4004 B.C., SOMEWHERE
00:11:09.83\00:11:14.10
AROUND THERE. 2000
YEARS LATER ABRAHAM'S BORN.
00:11:14.14\00:11:18.17
FOR THE FIRST 2000 YEARS GOD
SHARES THE GOSPEL THROUGH THE
00:11:18.21\00:11:21.24
PATRIARCHS. THEY WERE NOT JEWS.
THEY WERE PEOPLE LIKE ADAM AND
00:11:21.28\00:11:25.75
SETH AND NOAH - METHUSELAH -
SO FORTH - ENOCH - GODLY PEOPLE.
00:11:25.78\00:11:30.92
AND THEN FROM THE TIME OF
ABRAHAM, THEN GOD SHARED THE
00:11:30.95\00:11:33.99
GOSPEL FOR ANOTHER 2000 YEARS
ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE HEBREW
00:11:34.02\00:11:38.16
PEOPLE - THE JEWISH PEOPLE -
AND JESUS WAS BORN ABOUT 4 B.C.
00:11:38.19\00:11:43.16
NOW I KNOW THAT CONFUSES PEOPLE.
THEY SAY, 'I THOUGHT JESUS WAS
00:11:43.20\00:11:47.00
BORN ZERO.' AND THAT'S
WHY WE SAY, YOU KNOW, 4 B.C.
00:11:47.04\00:11:50.51
IS BEFORE CHRIST. WHEN
THEY DEVELOPED THAT DATING
00:11:50.54\00:11:52.97
METHOD, THEY DID AN
EDUCATED GUESS ABOUT WHEN THEY
00:11:53.01\00:11:55.44
THOUGHT JESUS WAS BORN.
THEY FIXED THAT AS THE YEAR
00:11:55.48\00:11:57.85
ZERO, THEN YEARS LATER
THEY FOUND OUT THAT KING HEROD
00:11:57.88\00:12:01.38
THE GREAT DIED ABOUT 2 B.C.
WE KNOW HE'S THE ONE WHO TRIED
00:12:01.42\00:12:05.42
TO KILL ALL THE
BABIES IN BETHLEHEM.
00:12:05.45\00:12:06.99
JESUS MUST HAVE BEEN ALIVE
THEN. WE REALIZED JESUS WAS
00:12:07.02\00:12:09.99
BAPTIZED IN 27 A.D. HE
WAS BAPTIZED ON HIS 30TH
00:12:10.03\00:12:14.66
BIRTHDAY, THE BIBLE SAYS.
YOU COUNT BACKWARDS AND WE
00:12:14.73\00:12:17.40
REALIZE THEY GOT THAT
A.D. B.C. DATING METHOD WRONG -
00:12:17.43\00:12:20.97
ABOUT 4 YEARS. BUT -
SO THEN YOU'VE GOT 2000
00:12:21.00\00:12:24.41
YEARS FROM ADAM TO ABRAHAM, 2000
YEARS FROM ABRAHAM TO CHRIST.
00:12:24.44\00:12:28.68
THEN, FOR THE NEXT 2000 YEARS,
WHICH BRINGS US TO OUR DAY - THE
00:12:28.71\00:12:33.25
GOSPEL'S BEING PREACHED THROUGH
SPIRITUAL ISRAEL - OR THE
00:12:33.28\00:12:35.75
CHURCH. AND THEN,
AFTER YOU GET FROM
00:12:35.78\00:12:39.22
THAT - AND, OF COURSE, WE'RE
LIVING NOW IN THE SPACE AGE -
00:12:39.25\00:12:42.46
YOU KNOW WE'RE LIVING
RIGHT NOW EXACTLY 2000 YEARS
00:12:42.49\00:12:44.56
FROM THE LIFE OF JESUS.
WE'RE LIVING 2000 YEARS FROM
00:12:44.59\00:12:48.60
BETWEEN WHEN HE WAS
BORN AND WHEN HE DIED.
00:12:48.63\00:12:51.67
AND SO IT IS AN
INTERESTING TIME IN HISTORY.
00:12:51.70\00:12:55.47
AND THEN YOU READ IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 20, IT TALKS ABOUT A
00:12:55.50\00:12:58.74
THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD AT THE
END OF THIS SIX THOUSAND YEAR OF
00:12:58.77\00:13:02.14
BIBLE HISTORY - TALKING ABOUT
THE BIBLE AGES - FOR A TOTAL OF
00:13:02.18\00:13:05.85
7000, WHICH IS KIND
OF AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:13:05.88\00:13:09.18
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS 'A DAY
WITH THE LORD IS LIKE A THOUSAND
00:13:09.22\00:13:11.85
YEARS AND A THOUSAND YEARS LIKE
A DAY.' GOD SEEMS TO WORK ON A
00:13:11.89\00:13:14.96
PATTERN IN THE BIBLE WHERE YOU
WORK SIX DAYS AND YOU REST ONE.
00:13:14.99\00:13:18.16
AND HERE YOU'VE GOT LIKE SIX
THOUSAND YEARS FOR THE PLAN OF
00:13:18.19\00:13:20.80
SALVATION. HERE WE
ARE NEAR THE END OF THAT
00:13:20.83\00:13:22.33
PERIOD AND THEN A THOUSAND YEARS
- IT SAYS THE SAINTS LIVE AND
00:13:22.36\00:13:25.20
REIGN WITH CHRIST - IT'S
ALMOST LIKE A THOUSAND-YEAR
00:13:25.23\00:13:27.00
SABBATH, IF YOU WILL. SO
JUST KIND OF GIVE THIS TO YOU
00:13:27.04\00:13:30.97
IN - IN YOUR MIND HERE I'LL PUT
A CHART UP HERE YOU'VE GOT THESE
00:13:31.01\00:13:34.44
THREE EPOCHS YOU GET 2000 YEARS
OF THE PATRIARCHS, 2000 YEARS
00:13:34.48\00:13:39.68
OF THE JEWS, 2000 YEARS OF THE
CHURCH - OR SPIRITUAL ISRAEL -
00:13:39.71\00:13:43.69
THEN A THOUSAND YEARS WHERE
WE LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST.
00:13:43.72\00:13:46.79
WE'RE LIVING RIGHT AT THAT TIME
THAT WOULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST.
00:13:46.82\00:13:51.56
I FRANKLY THINK THAT WE'RE
LIVING IN THE GENERATION THAT'S
00:13:51.59\00:13:54.56
GOING TO SEE THE CULMINATION
OF ALL THAT'S BEEN FORETOLD.
00:13:54.56\00:13:57.43
I KNOW WHAT SOME
OF YOU ARE THINKING.
00:13:57.47\00:13:59.03
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU PASTORS HAVE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT JESUS COMING
00:13:59.07\00:14:02.54
AGAIN NOW FOR THOUSANDS OF
YEARS, AND IT HASN'T COME YET.'
00:14:02.57\00:14:07.58
WHEN HE DOES COME
YOU'LL THINK IT'S TOO SOON.
00:14:07.61\00:14:12.01
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ONE
OF THESE DAYS ONE OF US IS GOING
00:14:12.05\00:14:13.88
TO BE RIGHT. HE
IS GOING TO COME.
00:14:13.92\00:14:18.12

OF FOLKS MISUNDERSTAND
HOW JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.
00:14:23.12\00:14:26.46
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT
'WILL HIS RETURN BE A SECRET?'
00:14:26.49\00:14:29.63
'WHEN IS THE
TRIBULATION TAKING PLACE?'
00:14:29.66\00:14:31.83

PRESENTATION AND LEARN
SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM
00:15:04.20\00:15:06.84
THE WORD OF GOD. >>KEEP
IN MIND GOD TOLD ABRAHAM
00:15:06.87\00:15:11.57
THAT THROUGH HIS DESCENDANTS
THE MESSIAH WOULD COME.
00:15:11.61\00:15:14.51
EVERY JEWISH GIRL HOPED THAT
SHE WOULD BE THE MOTHER OF THE
00:15:14.54\00:15:17.01
MESSIAH. 100 YEARS
WENT BY 200 YEARS WENT BY.
00:15:17.05\00:15:22.35
THEY KEPT SAYING 'HE'S COMING
HE'S COMING.' 'THE MESSIAH IS
00:15:22.38\00:15:24.42
COMING.' 500 YEARS WENT BY
- 1000 YEARS WENT BY AND THEY
00:15:24.45\00:15:29.49
STARTED LOSING FAITH.
'YEAH, THEY SAY THE MESSIAH IS
00:15:29.52\00:15:31.46
COMING.' FINALLY WHEN
JESUS DID COME, 2000 YEARS
00:15:31.49\00:15:34.86
LATER WERE THEY READY? >>NO.
00:15:34.93\00:15:37.37
>>COULD THAT
HAPPEN AGAIN? >>YES.
00:15:37.40\00:15:39.60
>>THEY WERE ON THAT TIME.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS
00:15:39.63\00:15:42.87
OF THE NEARNESS OF
CHRIST? THERE'S OUR QUESTION
00:15:42.90\00:15:46.47
NUMBER THREE. NOW, IF
YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIBLES
00:15:46.51\00:15:48.48
- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
BROUGHT A BIBLE WITH YOU BUT
00:15:48.51\00:15:49.74
I'LL READ IT TO YOU. IF
YOU GO TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 24
00:15:49.78\00:15:53.45
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT SIGNS
OF THE SECOND COMING: "YOU WILL
00:15:53.48\00:15:57.55
HEAR OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
SEE THAT YOU'RE NOT TROUBLED.
00:15:57.59\00:16:01.56
ALL THESE THINGS
MUST COME TO PASS."
00:16:01.59\00:16:03.73
HE SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE
WAR BUT A WAR IS NOT A SIGN -
00:16:03.76\00:16:05.53
THERE'S BEEN WARS ALL
ALONG - "THE END IS NOT YET.
00:16:05.56\00:16:08.76
NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION
AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM AND
00:16:08.80\00:16:12.50
THERE WILL BE FAMINES AND
PESTILENCE" - THOSE ARE PLAGUES
00:16:12.53\00:16:15.10
- "AND
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS PLACES.
00:16:15.14\00:16:17.71
ALL THESE ARE AT THE BEGINNING
OF SORROWS THEN THEY WILL
00:16:17.74\00:16:20.61
DELIVER YOU UP TO TRIBULATION
AND KILL YOU AND YOU'LL BE HATED
00:16:20.64\00:16:23.81
OF ALL NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S
SAKE AND MANY WILL BE OFFENDED
00:16:23.85\00:16:27.42
AND BETRAY ONE ANOTHER AND
MANY WILL HATE ONE ANOTHER.
00:16:27.45\00:16:30.15
MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL RISE
AND DECEIVE MANY AND BECAUSE
00:16:30.19\00:16:33.76
LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND THE
LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD."
00:16:33.79\00:16:36.96
- AND HEAR ITS PROMISES - "BUT
HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END WILL
00:16:36.99\00:16:38.66
BE SAVED." - HE
SAID, 'DON'T LOSE PATIENCE'
00:16:38.69\00:16:43.90
- EVEN REVELATION SAYS 'HERE IS
THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS.' WHY
00:16:43.93\00:16:47.77
DO YOU THINK WE NEED PATIENCE?
HE'S COMING SOON AND SOME PEOPLE
00:16:47.80\00:16:51.21
ARE SAYING, 'AW, IS
HE EVER GOING TO COME?'
00:16:51.24\00:16:53.38
HOLD ON. HE'S COMING AGAIN.
SO NOW LET'S TAKE APART SOME OF
00:16:53.41\00:16:56.91
THE SIGNS THAT WE JUST
LOOKED AT TALKING ABOUT THE
00:16:56.95\00:16:59.55
SIGNS OF THE END.
TALKED ABOUT WARS AND RUMORS OF
00:16:59.58\00:17:02.42
WARS - POLITICAL
INSTABILITY. DO WE HAVE THAT IN
00:17:02.45\00:17:05.62
THE WORLD TODAY? >>YEP.
00:17:05.65\00:17:07.76
>>YEAH, YOU KNOW, JUST IN
THE NEWS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.
00:17:07.79\00:17:11.16
NOT ONLY IS NORTH KOREA
CONTINUING TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE
00:17:11.19\00:17:14.23
AND TEST THE DISTANCE IT CAN
DELIVER BALLISTIC MISSILES, BUT
00:17:14.30\00:17:18.30
IRAN IS NOW TESTING MISSILES
AND THEY'VE MADE IT VERY CLEAR
00:17:18.33\00:17:21.14
THERE'S SOME COUNTRIES
THEY DON'T LIKE VERY MUCH.
00:17:21.17\00:17:23.61
WE'RE ONE OF
THEM. ISRAEL'S ANOTHER.
00:17:23.64\00:17:26.01
I MEAN RIGHT NOW IT'S - IT'S
LIKE THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST IS A
00:17:26.04\00:17:29.64
POWDER KEG. AND,
UNFORTUNATELY, MAN HAS
00:17:29.68\00:17:32.88
NEVER MADE A
WEAPON HE DID NOT USE.
00:17:32.91\00:17:35.15
THAT'S A HISTORICAL FACT.
AND YOU JUST WONDER, AT ONE
00:17:35.18\00:17:38.52
POINT, IS SOMEBODY GOING TO GET
A HOLD OF A FORBIDDEN NUCLEAR
00:17:38.55\00:17:41.66
WEAPON FROM THE COLD WAR
OR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:17:41.69\00:17:44.83
YOU KNOW REVELATION TELLS US
THAT GOD HAS HIS ANGELS HOLDING
00:17:44.86\00:17:49.10
BACK THE WINDS OF STRIFE SO
THAT THE GOSPEL CAN GO FORWARD.
00:17:49.13\00:17:53.00
I THINK THE ONLY THING THAT'S
GIVING US THIS WINDOW OF PEACE
00:17:53.03\00:17:56.17
IS THAT THE LORD IS HOLDING BACK
THE WINDS OF STRIFE TO GIVE US
00:17:56.20\00:17:59.67
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE
GOOD NEWS WHILE TIME REMAINS.
00:17:59.71\00:18:03.31
WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
I SAW AN INTERESTING FACT.
00:18:03.35\00:18:06.35
YOU KNOW THE WORLD SPENDS OVER
ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AN
00:18:06.38\00:18:10.12
HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES.
00:18:10.15\00:18:14.92
AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE AMERICAN
MILITARY WHAT IT COSTS EVERY
00:18:14.96\00:18:17.99
HOUR AND THE - RUSSIA AND CHINA
AND THESE - A HUNDRED MILLION
00:18:18.03\00:18:21.33
DOLLARS AN HOUR IS
SPENT ON PREPARING FOR THESE.
00:18:21.36\00:18:24.97
NOT ONLY WARS AND RUMORS OF
WARS, THE BIBLE TALKED ABOUT
00:18:25.00\00:18:27.17
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS
PLACES - NOT ONLY EARTHQUAKES -
00:18:27.20\00:18:30.97
EARTHQUAKE - THE ONE THERE
IN 2004 TRIGGERED THE TSUNAMI.
00:18:31.01\00:18:35.18
AND 250,000 PEOPLE PERISHED.
AND EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING, ON
00:18:35.21\00:18:41.98
THE WEST COAST, WHEN IS
THE BIG ONE GOING TO COME?
00:18:42.02\00:18:44.62
AND WE'VE ALREADY SEEN
SOME TERRIBLE CATASTROPHES WITH
00:18:44.65\00:18:47.46
EARTHQUAKES. I SAW A
FACT THAT CAME FROM THE
00:18:47.49\00:18:49.99
GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
AND THE NATIONAL EARTHQUAKE
00:18:50.03\00:18:53.93
INFORMATION CENTER THAT, BETWEEN
2004 AND 2014, 18 EARTHQUAKES
00:18:53.96\00:18:59.90
WITH A MAGNITUDE OF 8.0
OR MORE RATTLED SUBDUCTION
00:18:59.93\00:19:03.14
ZONES AROUND THE GLOBE.
THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 265
00:19:03.17\00:19:06.88
PERCENT OVER THE AVERAGE
RATE OF THE PREVIOUS CENTURY.
00:19:06.91\00:19:11.11
NOW WHILE I TALK ABOUT SIGNS
LIKE WAR AND RUMOR OF WAR AND
00:19:11.15\00:19:15.45
PLAGUES AND EARTHQUAKES, KEEP
IN MIND THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
00:19:15.48\00:19:20.52
THESE THINGS. WHAT
THE LORD IS TALKING ABOUT
00:19:20.56\00:19:23.56
IS WHEN THE FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY INCREASES.
00:19:23.59\00:19:28.93
WHEN KAREN AND I HAD CHILDREN
AND SHE WAS GREAT WITH CHILD
00:19:28.96\00:19:33.97
EVERY NOW AND THEN
SHE'D GET A LABOR PAIN.
00:19:34.00\00:19:36.24
I THINK THEY CALL THE EARLY ONES
BRAXTON HICKS CONTRACTIONS OR
00:19:36.27\00:19:39.64
SOMETHING. AND YOU
KNOW YOUR REACTION COULD
00:19:39.67\00:19:43.48
BE, 'OH, I'M FEELING SOMETHING
- WE'LL RUN FOR THE DOCTOR.' AND
00:19:43.51\00:19:46.68
THEY'LL OFTEN SMILE AND SEND
YOU HOME AND SAY, 'FIRST ONE?
00:19:46.72\00:19:49.75
RELAX, YOU'VE GOT A WAYS TO
GO.' AND, YOU KNOW, USUALLY THAT
00:19:49.78\00:19:52.79
NINTH MONTH THEY ARE
READY TO BE DELIVERED.
00:19:52.82\00:19:56.73
THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT BABY.
BUT WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE
00:19:56.76\00:20:01.13
PAINS BEGIN COME CLOSER TOGETHER
WITH MORE FREQUENCY AND THEY
00:20:01.16\00:20:06.37
BECOME MORE INTENSE, THEN YOU
KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A BABY.
00:20:06.40\00:20:12.74
AND, AS YOU NEAR THE END OF
TIME, YOU'LL SEE THE SIGNS THAT
00:20:12.77\00:20:16.68
JESUS TALKED ABOUT - WARS WELL
LAST CENTURY WE HAD TWO WORLD
00:20:16.71\00:20:20.62
WARS. AND IT
ALMOST LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
00:20:20.65\00:20:22.98
ON THE BRINK OF A THIRD,
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING.
00:20:23.02\00:20:24.95
THAT'S NOT A NORMAL WAR.
IT'S A WORLD WAR AND NUCLEAR
00:20:24.99\00:20:29.22
WEAPONS AND ATOMIC BOMBS - AND
THE INTENSITY OF THESE THINGS,
00:20:29.26\00:20:34.36
INCLUDING THE EARTHQUAKES
AND NATURAL DISASTERS.
00:20:34.40\00:20:36.30
IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
INCREASE AND INTENSIFY.
00:20:36.33\00:20:39.17
SO THAT'S
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.
00:20:39.20\00:20:41.27
PLAGUES, PESTILENCE
- JESUS TALKED ABOUT.
00:20:41.30\00:20:44.04
I THINK DON'T WE ALL SHUDDER
FROM THE TERRIBLE IMAGES THAT WE
00:20:44.07\00:20:47.38
SAW COMING FROM WEST AFRICA WITH
THE EBOLA BREAK OUT RECENTLY BUT
00:20:47.41\00:20:51.71
THAT'S NOT THE WORST PLAGUE.
LITTLE MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS
00:20:51.75\00:20:54.78
AGO IN 19 - I GUESS A LITTLE
LESS THAN A HUNDRED YEARS AGO -
00:20:54.82\00:20:58.39
IN 1917 - 1918 THEY HAD THE - AN
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC AND YOU KNOW
00:20:58.42\00:21:05.09
THAT IT KILLED MORE
PEOPLE THAN WORLD WAR I?
00:21:05.13\00:21:07.66
ABOUT 40 MILLION PEOPLE
DIED FROM A STRAIN OF THE FLU.
00:21:07.73\00:21:13.47
AND NOW, WITH ALL THE
ANTIBIOTICS, SCIENCE IS TELLING
00:21:13.50\00:21:16.10
US THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF A
VERY RESISTANT STRAIN - A SUPER
00:21:16.14\00:21:20.71
BUG COULD BE SPREAD VERY QUICKLY
CAUSE - I TRAVEL A LOT; YOU GET
00:21:20.74\00:21:26.08
ON THESE AIRPLANES ALL IT TAKES
IS ONE SICK PERSON COUGHING IT'S
00:21:26.11\00:21:28.62
PUMPED THROUGH THE VENTILATION
SYSTEM AND BOY, THE AIRLINE
00:21:28.65\00:21:32.12
INDUSTRY AROUND THE WORLD IS A
VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO SPREAD THE
00:21:32.15\00:21:35.39
VIRUS AROUND THE WORLD. AND
SO, GOVERNMENTS ARE AWARE OF
00:21:35.42\00:21:39.09
THAT AND THEY ARE VERY CAREFULLY
GUARDING - YOU REMEMBER, WITH
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.70
THE EBOLA - PEOPLE FLYING - THEY
WERE SCREENING EVERYBODY BECAUSE
00:21:41.73\00:21:44.47
THEY COULD SEE HOW QUICKLY THIS
COULD SPREAD. AGAIN, IT'S JUST
00:21:44.50\00:21:47.37
THE GRACE OF GOD THAT'S HOLDING
THESE THINGS BACK RIGHT NOW.
00:21:47.40\00:21:51.01
ONE OF THE SIGNS JESUS GIVES
OF THE LAST DAYS IS VIOLENCE.
00:21:51.04\00:21:55.18
CHRIST SAID, 'AS IT WAS IN THE
DAYS OF NOAH, AND AS IT WAS IN
00:21:55.21\00:21:58.88
THE DAYS OF LOT, SO WILL IT BE
IN THE DAYS WHEN THE SON OF MAN
00:21:58.91\00:22:02.18
RETURNS.' WHAT WAS IT
LIKE BACK IN THE DAYS OF NOAH?
00:22:02.22\00:22:05.52
YOU READ IN GENESIS CHAPTER
6, 'THE THOUGHTS OF MEN'S HEARTS
00:22:05.55\00:22:09.16
WERE ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY AND
VIOLENCE FILLED THE LAND.' THE
00:22:09.19\00:22:14.46
BIBLE TELLS US THAT IT GRIEVED
THE LORD IN HIS HEART THAT HE'D
00:22:14.50\00:22:17.47
EVEN MADE MAN. AND
SO YOU CONSIDER THAT.
00:22:17.50\00:22:20.94
DO WE HAVE THAT KIND OF
VIOLENCE IN THE WORLD TODAY?
00:22:20.97\00:22:23.87
HERE'S AN INTERESTING FACT.
EVERY DAY MORE AMERICAN YOUTH
00:22:23.91\00:22:27.08
DIE IN GANG VIOLENCE
THAN FIGHTING IN FOREIGN WARS.
00:22:27.11\00:22:30.88
I UNDERSTAND THAT 2016 IN
CHICAGO THERE WERE OVER 718
00:22:30.91\00:22:37.02
MURDERS. THAT'S
MORE PEOPLE BEING
00:22:37.05\00:22:41.82
MURDERED IN ONE U.S. CITY.
THAN OUR SOLDIERS WERE SLAIN IN
00:22:41.86\00:22:46.83
THE LAST SIX YEARS FIGHTING
IN THE MIDDLE EAST. VIOLENCE.
00:22:46.86\00:22:53.07
ONE OF THE SIGNS
OF THE LAST DAYS.
00:22:53.10\00:22:54.47
AND, IF YOU DON'T MIND MY JUST
SAYING HERE, I DON'T THINK IT
00:22:54.50\00:22:57.71
SHOULD SURPRISE US WHEN - IF
YOU SCAN THROUGH THE TELEVISION,
00:22:57.74\00:23:01.48
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND PEOPLE
ARE ENTERTAINED BY VIOLENCE.
00:23:01.51\00:23:04.71
AND IF WE'RE ENTERTAINED BY
VIOLENCE WE TEND TO REPRODUCE -
00:23:04.75\00:23:08.18
ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEY SEE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
00:23:08.22\00:23:10.42
OF MURDERS AS THEY GROW
UP AND YOU SORT OF BECOME
00:23:10.45\00:23:12.55
CALLOUS AND INDIFFERENT.
AND THEY SEE ALL THIS SHOOTING
00:23:12.59\00:23:15.96
ON TELEVISION AND THEY DON'T
REALIZE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
00:23:15.99\00:23:18.13
A REAL GUN AND WHAT IT'S GOING
TO DO TO A LIFE AND FICTION.
00:23:18.16\00:23:22.60
AND THERE'S JUST THIS
COLD INDIFFERENCE. IMMORALITY.
00:23:22.63\00:23:28.80
PORN - I SAW STUDY NOT TOO
LONG AGO THAT - IT'S KIND OF
00:23:28.84\00:23:35.18
SHOCKING. 12
PERCENT OF ALL INTERNET
00:23:35.21\00:23:38.48
WEBSITES ARE PORNOGRAPHIC
- AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
00:23:38.51\00:23:42.08
WEBSITES - TWELVE PERCENT.
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF ALL
00:23:42.12\00:23:45.22
INTERNET DOWNLOADS ARE
PORNOGRAPHIC IN CONTENT.
00:23:45.25\00:23:48.96
25 PERCENT OF ONLINE SEARCH
ENGINE REQUESTS ARE RELATED TO
00:23:48.99\00:23:52.79
SEX. FORTY
MILLION AMERICANS CONSIDER
00:23:52.83\00:23:55.76
THEMSELVES REGULAR
VISITORS TO PORN SITES.
00:23:55.80\00:23:58.53
THE AVERAGE AGE FOR THE FIRST
EXPOSURE TO PORN IS 11 YEARS OLD
00:23:58.57\00:24:02.24
- AVERAGE AGE. IT'S
JUST SATURATING OUR SOCIETY
00:24:02.27\00:24:08.14
AND THINGS THAT WERE ONCE
CONSIDERED, YOU KNOW, IMMORAL
00:24:08.18\00:24:11.78
IT'S JUST
BECOMING A WAY OF LIFE.
00:24:11.81\00:24:14.25
PEOPLE ARE BECOMING CALLOUSED
TO PURITY THAT GOD IS CALLING US
00:24:14.28\00:24:17.62
TO. AND YOU KNOW
I JUST CAN'T RUSH
00:24:17.65\00:24:20.12
BY THIS WITHOUT MENTIONING
SOMETHING I THINK WE'RE ALL
00:24:20.16\00:24:22.29
AWARE OF, THAT THE BIBLE SAYS
'AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF SODOM,
00:24:22.32\00:24:27.20
SO SHALL IT BE IN THE DAYS WHEN
THE SON OF MAN COMES' - AND I'M,
00:24:27.23\00:24:30.73
FRANKLY, VERY DISAPPOINTED
THAT WE'VE BECOME FUZZY ON THE
00:24:30.77\00:24:34.64
DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN MEN AND
WOMEN WHEN IT COMES TO MARRIAGE.
00:24:34.67\00:24:37.61
I DON'T WANT TO BE UNKIND. I
REALIZE IT'S VERY POLITICALLY
00:24:37.64\00:24:40.68
INCORRECT TO SAY THAT BUT
I'M GOING TO BE HERE AND TELL
00:24:40.71\00:24:43.45
YOU WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS. OVERPOPULATION.
00:24:43.48\00:24:49.32
YOU KNOW I SAW A STUDY - I
ACTUALLY LOOKED IT UP TO CHECK
00:24:49.35\00:24:53.32
MY FACTS TODAY. RIGHT
NOW WE'RE BORDERING ON,
00:24:53.36\00:24:56.02
YOU KNOW, SEVEN AND A HALF
BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
00:24:56.06\00:24:59.76
IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY FIVE
THOUSAND YEARS - I THINK IT WAS
00:24:59.79\00:25:03.93
1829 - THE WORLD GOT THE FIRST
BILLION PEOPLE - 5000 YEARS TO
00:25:03.97\00:25:08.34
GET 1 BILLION. THEN
IT WAS ABOUT 123 YEARS
00:25:08.37\00:25:11.81
AFTER THAT JUST 123 YEAR
TO GET THE SECOND BILLION.
00:25:11.84\00:25:15.58
THEN ABOUT 30 YEARS AFTER
THAT TO GET THE THIRD BILLION.
00:25:15.61\00:25:18.88
I REMEMBER WHEN THERE WERE ONLY
3 BILLION PEOPLE AND I'M NOT
00:25:18.91\00:25:21.12
THAT OLD - IN THE WORLD - AND IN
MY LIFE THE WORLD POPULATION HAS
00:25:21.15\00:25:26.35
MORE THAN DOUBLED FROM 3
BILLION TO 7 SOMETHING BILLION.
00:25:26.39\00:25:31.19
THERE'S ACTUALLY A WEBSITE YOU
CAN GO TO AND IT WILL CLOCK FOR
00:25:31.23\00:25:34.20
YOU HOW PEOPLE ARE BEING BORN
- HOW QUICKLY - IT'S KIND OF
00:25:34.23\00:25:36.80
STAGGERING TO JUST SIT THERE AND
LOOK THAT - HOW MANY PEOPLE - 90
00:25:36.83\00:25:40.30
MILLION PEOPLE ARE BEING ADDED
TO THE WORLD'S POPULATION EVERY
00:25:40.34\00:25:44.01
YEAR - 90 MILLION PEOPLE -
THAT'S INCLUDING THE ONES YOU
00:25:44.04\00:25:47.11
DEDUCT FOR DEATH 90 MILLION NEW
PEOPLE DRAWING ON THE RESOURCES
00:25:47.14\00:25:52.71
OF THE PLANET. KAREN AND
I'VE BEEN TO CHINA A FEW TIMES.
00:25:52.75\00:25:56.89
LET ME TELL YOU THERE
ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN CHINA.
00:25:56.92\00:25:59.49
I REMEMBER IN SHANGHAI -
I GREW UP IN NEW YORK CITY -
00:25:59.52\00:26:01.69
THAT'S A BUSY CITY AND IT'S A
VERY POPULATED CITY, BUT I GOT
00:26:01.72\00:26:07.40
TO CHINA I FEEL LIKE I WAS
DRIVING THROUGH NEW YORK CITY
00:26:07.46\00:26:10.27
DOWNTOWN FOR AN HOUR AND IT
NEVER STOPPED - LIKE 24 MILLION
00:26:10.30\00:26:14.77
PEOPLE - THIS ONE CITY BUT IT'S
GROWING. AND THIS JUST TELLS US
00:26:14.80\00:26:20.44
IT CAN'T LAST FOREVER.
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID 'EXCEPT
00:26:20.48\00:26:23.28
THOSE DAYS BE SHORTENED NO FLESH
WOULD BE SAVED; BUT FOR THE
00:26:23.31\00:26:26.45
ELECT'S SAKE THOSE
D'AYS WILL BE SHORTENED.
00:26:26.48\00:26:28.48
IN OTHER WORDS, IF HE DID NOT
COME ON TIME AND IF HE DOESN'T
00:26:28.52\00:26:31.09
CUT IT SHORT,
NOBODY WOULD SURVIVE.
00:26:31.12\00:26:32.95
>>AMEN. >>SO THE
LORD HAS TO COME SOON
00:26:32.99\00:26:35.36
OR THERE'LL BE
NOTHING TO COME FOR.
00:26:35.39\00:26:37.56
AND ANOTHER REASON I THINK
IS COMING SOON IS EVERYBODY IS
00:26:37.59\00:26:40.36
GOING TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
COMING WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD JUST
00:26:40.40\00:26:43.16
SORT OF BEGINS
TO SWALLOW ITSELF.
00:26:43.20\00:26:45.33
BUT IT MAY BE A LITTLE BEFORE
THAT BECAUSE HE SAID IN SUCH AN
00:26:45.37\00:26:48.44
HOUR YOU THINK NOT
THE SON OF MAN IS COMING.
00:26:48.47\00:26:52.57
