>>PEOPLE KNOW THAT
SOMETHING UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING.
00:01:45.27\00:01:50.77
IN 2010 THE PEW RESEARCH GROUP
DID A SURVEY AND IN THAT SURVEY
00:01:50.81\00:01:57.21
THEY EXPLAINED THAT BY THE YEAR
2050 - 50 ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF
00:01:57.25\00:02:05.59
THE PEOPLE BELIEVED
THAT JESUS WOULD COME.
00:02:05.62\00:02:08.72
I THINK 40 OF THOSE 60
PERCENT WERE ABSOLUTELY SURE.
00:02:08.76\00:02:11.56
20 PERCENT SAID 'PROBABLY'
AND THAT'S IN NORTH AMERICA, OF
00:02:11.59\00:02:14.93
COURSE. AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO
00:02:14.93\00:02:17.27
BE TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT
THE PINNACLE OF PROPHECY AND
00:02:17.30\00:02:20.77
SIGNS OF JESUS' COMING. YOU
KNOW, IT'S VERY INTERESTING,
00:02:20.80\00:02:24.54
WE'RE GOING TO BE FINDING
THAT THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS A
00:02:24.57\00:02:27.21
PARTNER BOOK FOR
REVELATION. SO WE'LL BE GOING
00:02:27.24\00:02:29.58
BACK AND FORTH.
REVELATION DOES A LOT OF
00:02:29.61\00:02:31.78
REFERRING TO THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12
00:02:31.81\00:02:35.58
AND HE SAYS, IN VERSE 4, "BUT
YOU DANIEL SHUT UP THE WORDS AND
00:02:35.62\00:02:40.29
SEAL THE BOOK UNTIL
THE TIME OF THE END."
00:02:40.32\00:02:42.76
SO NO QUESTION ABOUT
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:02:42.79\00:02:45.13
AND HE GOES ON TO SAY,
"MANY WILL RUN TO AND FRO."
00:02:45.16\00:02:48.96
FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH
00:02:49.00\00:02:51.13
THE WORD OF GOD
AND DISCOVER TRUTH.
00:02:51.17\00:02:54.90
BUT YOU CAN'T MISS THE POINT
THAT PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AND
00:02:54.94\00:02:57.54
FRO FASTER - DO YOU REALIZE, FOR
ABOUT SIX THOUSAND YEARS, PEOPLE
00:02:57.57\00:03:00.64
- THE FASTEST
THING YOU GOT IS A HORSE?
00:03:00.68\00:03:03.21
JUST CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE
THE CHANGE THAT'S BEEN SEEN.
00:03:03.24\00:03:06.38
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, BACK
IN 2006 - I KNOW IT'S AN OLD
00:03:06.41\00:03:09.12
ARTICLE BUT IT
STILL BEARS THE POINT.
00:03:09.15\00:03:10.75
THAT'S THE MAGAZINE COVER,
IF YOU WANT TO REFERENCE IT.
00:03:10.79\00:03:12.79
THERE'S A QUOTE IN THERE.
PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FAR FROM
00:03:12.82\00:03:15.92
HOME MORE THAN EVER
BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY AND
00:03:15.96\00:03:20.43
KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.
THIS IS A PICTURE HERE ON THE
00:03:20.46\00:03:24.00
SCREEN OF THE
GREAT HADRON ACCELERATOR.
00:03:24.03\00:03:27.54
IT IS - IT'S THE
LARGEST EXPERIMENT IN THE WORLD.
00:03:27.57\00:03:30.31
IT'S THE BIGGEST
MACHINE IN THE WORLD.
00:03:30.34\00:03:32.44
IT'S UNDER THE GROUND ABOUT
500 FEET - A 17-MILE TUNNEL IN
00:03:32.47\00:03:38.78
GENEVA UNDERNEATH THE GROUND
WHERE THE - ALL THESE EUROPEAN
00:03:38.81\00:03:42.88
GOVERNMENTS GOT TOGETHER
AND THEY POURED LIKE 13 BILLION
00:03:42.92\00:03:45.85
DOLLARS INTO BUILDING THIS
TESTING EQUIPMENT TO UNDERSTAND
00:03:45.89\00:03:51.39
PHYSICS. AND AS
THEY HYPER ACCELERATE
00:03:51.43\00:03:55.36
THESE PARTICLES THEY SMASH THEM
AN THEN MEASURE WHAT THEY FIND
00:03:55.40\00:03:58.17
TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT IS THE BASE CORE OF
00:03:58.20\00:04:00.74
WHAT LIFE IS MADE OF?
WHAT IS THE STUFF OF LIFE?
00:04:00.77\00:04:04.34
NOW ACTUALLY THE NICKNAME IS
THE MACHINE HAS BEEN BUILT TO
00:04:04.37\00:04:07.71
DISCOVER - THEY
CALL IT THE GOD PARTICLE.
00:04:07.74\00:04:10.01
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE?
THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO TRY
00:04:10.05\00:04:13.08
- 'WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE
ANSWERS OF WHERE EVERYTHING CAME
00:04:13.11\00:04:14.82
FROM.' - THAT'S A BIG INVESTMENT
OF TECHNOLOGY, NOT ONLY FROM
00:04:14.85\00:04:19.25
UNDER THE GROUND THERE IN GENEVA
BUT UP IN THE SKY WITH THE
00:04:19.29\00:04:22.52
INTERNATIONAL SPACE
STATION - KNOWLEDGE IS INCREASED
00:04:22.56\00:04:25.03
JUST IN IN ONE LIFETIME. I
SHOULD ACTUALLY SAY IN ABOUT A
00:04:25.06\00:04:29.70
CENTURY - YOU LOOK AT JUST
SOME OF THE CHANGES - INCREDIBLE
00:04:29.73\00:04:32.23
INVENTIONS - AUTOMOBILES,
AIRPLANES, RADIO, TELEVISION,
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.90
SMARTPHONE, COMPUTERS. A
LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY,
00:04:35.94\00:04:40.81
THEY CAN'T IMAGINE A
WORLD WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE.
00:04:40.84\00:04:45.11
AND YOU KNOW IT'S - I GET -
KAREN AND I GOT A RENTAL CAR AND
00:04:45.15\00:04:49.85
IT WAS A FAIRLY NEW ONE - WE GOT
LUCKY - GOT A LOW MILEAGE RENTAL
00:04:49.88\00:04:51.95
CAR AND I'VE NEARLY WRECKED IT
THREE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:04:51.99\00:04:54.92
HOW TO RUN THE THING.
(LAUGHTER) I SAT IN THE CAR WHEN
00:04:54.96\00:04:57.59
WE GOT THERE AND I SAT THERE AND
SAID, 'OH, THIS IS GREAT, LOW
00:04:57.63\00:05:00.66
MILEAGE', YOU KNOW, AND I
FIGURED OUT, FINALLY, YOU DON'T
00:05:00.70\00:05:03.10
HAVE TO USE A KEY, YOU
JUST PRESS THE BUTTON BECAUSE IT
00:05:03.13\00:05:04.83
KNOWS THE KEY'S IN MY POCKET
- I KEEP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:05:04.87\00:05:06.30
WHERE DO I PUT THE KEY?
I'M ONE OF THESE OLD PEOPLE,
00:05:06.33\00:05:08.30
I WANT TO PUT
THE KEY IN SOMEWHERE.
00:05:08.34\00:05:09.84
AND I KEEP TAKING THE KEY OUT
WHEN I WALK UP TO THE CAR, BUT
00:05:09.87\00:05:12.61
IT DOESN'T NEED THE KEY, IT JUST
OPENS BY ITSELF AND I SAID, 'OH,
00:05:12.64\00:05:15.21
WHAT A WASTE OF
ENERGY.' I HAD TO FIND IT.
00:05:15.24\00:05:17.78
AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO SHIFT THE THING.
00:05:17.81\00:05:19.25
I'M LOOKING AT ALL THIS AND
FINALLY KAREN REACHES OVER - SHE
00:05:19.28\00:05:21.15
TURNS A KNOB. IS
THAT LIKE A VOLUME - YOU
00:05:21.18\00:05:24.39
SHIFT GEARS
WITH A VOLUME BUTTON.
00:05:24.42\00:05:26.59
I'M A MAN, I WANT TO GRAB
SOMETHING AND HEAR IT CLUNK, YOU
00:05:26.62\00:05:29.89
KNOW? WHEN - IT JUST -
YOU TURN A LITTLE KNOB.
00:05:29.92\00:05:33.60
SO IT BOTHERS ME.
JUST THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
00:05:33.63\00:05:38.47
CAN YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO
EXPLAIN A SMARTPHONE TO THE
00:05:38.50\00:05:40.87
APOSTLE PAUL?
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) HE WOULD
00:05:40.90\00:05:43.87
THINK YOU'RE DEMON POSSESSED.
(LAUGHTER) PAUL WOULD SAY,
00:05:43.91\00:05:47.78
'LOOK, LET ME FIND THAT IN
MY SCROLLS.' SAY, 'NO PROBLEM,
00:05:47.81\00:05:49.71
PAUL, I'LL GOOGLE IT.'
'WHAT?' CAN'T YOU JUST SEE IT?
00:05:49.74\00:05:53.68
THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AND
ANOTHER ONE FOR ME THAT I
00:05:53.72\00:05:57.49
THINK IS A TREMENDOUS EVIDENCE
OF THE NEARNESS OF CHRIST COMING
00:05:57.52\00:06:01.86
IS GLOBAL EVANGELIZATION.
MATTHEW 24, VERSE 14 - THIS, TO
00:06:01.89\00:06:08.00
ME, I THINK, IS ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL PROPHECIES THAT REALLY
00:06:08.03\00:06:10.30
MAKES ME BELIEVE WE ARE
LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:06:10.33\00:06:12.47
JESUS SAID, EXTREMELY CLEARLY,
"THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL
00:06:12.50\00:06:18.44
BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD
FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS."
00:06:18.47\00:06:23.28
AND THEN HE SAID,
"THEN THE END WILL COME."
00:06:23.31\00:06:26.48
HE DIDN'T SAY IT MIGHT COME,
OR IT COULD COME OR IT MAY COME.
00:06:26.51\00:06:29.68
HE SAID, VERY
EMPHATICALLY, THE END WILL COME.
00:06:29.72\00:06:33.72
HE DID NOT SAY THE GOSPEL'LL BE
PREACHED THERE WILL BE A GREAT
00:06:33.76\00:06:36.32
GLOBAL REVIVAL AND EVERYBODY
WILL BELIEVE; HE SAID 'FOR A
00:06:36.36\00:06:40.30
WITNESS.' GIVE
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY.
00:06:40.33\00:06:42.43
AND THEN WHAT THEY DO WITH
THAT OPPORTUNITY IS UP TO THEM.
00:06:42.46\00:06:44.83
BUT THE END WILL
COME. WELL IS THE GOSPEL
00:06:44.87\00:06:48.14
GOING IN ALL THE WORLD?
JUST THIS LAST TWO DAYS WE'VE
00:06:48.17\00:06:51.74
HAD AN INVITATION
TO RETURN TO CHINA.
00:06:51.77\00:06:53.88
AMAZING FACTS WAS VERY BLESSED.
WE WERE ONE OF - IF NOT THE
00:06:53.91\00:06:58.25
FIRST - CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION
IN OVER 50 YEARS INVITED TO
00:06:58.28\00:07:02.22
PREACH PUBLICLY A WHOLE SERIES
OF MEETINGS THAT WAS BROADCAST
00:07:02.25\00:07:05.79
ON TELEVISION IN CHINA.
(CLAPPING) AND THAT WAS SUCH A
00:07:05.82\00:07:09.39
THRILL AND THEN THE NEAT THING
IS THEY MADE COPIES OF THAT AND
00:07:09.42\00:07:14.56
THEY CONTINUE TO MULTIPLY
THAT. I JUST GOT A CALL FROM OUR
00:07:14.60\00:07:17.90
HEADQUARTERS THERE AND
THEY SAID, 'CAN YOU COME BACK?
00:07:17.93\00:07:20.90
AND SO, THE GOSPEL - AND
IT'S - IT'S NOW ON SATELLITE.
00:07:20.94\00:07:25.41
KAREN AND I ARE GOING NEXT MONTH
TO NEW GUINEA AND THEY TELL US
00:07:25.44\00:07:28.71
THERE'LL BE - ABOUT 100,000
PEOPLE AT THIS ONE MEETING THAT
00:07:28.74\00:07:33.08
WE'RE GOING TO IN NEW GUINEA.
WE'RE GOING TO BE IN AUSTRALIA.
00:07:33.11\00:07:36.12
AND I'M JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS OF
MISSIONARIES THAT ARE OUT THERE
00:07:36.15\00:07:39.25
DOING IT. IT'S NOT
LIKE WE'RE DOING IT -
00:07:39.29\00:07:40.62
JESUS SAID THE GOSPEL
WOULD GO TO THE WORLD - IT'S
00:07:40.66\00:07:42.86
GOING THE MIDDLE EAST.
AMAZING FACTS GETS E-MAIL FROM
00:07:42.89\00:07:45.43
ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE
EAST THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE.
00:07:45.46\00:07:49.36
AND SO, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING
AND THE GOSPEL IS GOING AND
00:07:49.40\00:07:52.57
MISSIONARIES ARE GOING.
AND JESUS SAID, 'THEN THE END
00:07:52.60\00:07:55.37
WILL COME.' AND SO WE'RE
SEEING, I THINK, THE FULFILLMENT
00:07:55.40\00:07:58.51
OF THAT IN THIS GENERATION.
NOW I NEED TO PAUSE AT THIS
00:07:58.54\00:08:02.01
POINT AND DELVE INTO A VERY
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR STUDY.
00:08:02.04\00:08:06.78
I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING.
00:08:06.82\00:08:09.02
NOW I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING.
00:08:09.05\00:08:11.55
ABOUT WHAT? >>HOW.
00:08:11.59\00:08:12.92
>>HOW HE'S COMING - BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT
00:08:12.95\00:08:16.39
HOW. NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A
00:08:16.42\00:08:17.96
LOT OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT
MISUNDERSTOOD HOW HE'S COMING.
00:08:17.99\00:08:20.86
DID THE APOSTLES MISUNDERSTAND
HOW THE MESSIAH WAS COMING THE
00:08:20.90\00:08:24.77
FIRST TIME?
THEY'LL BE IN HEAVEN.
00:08:24.80\00:08:27.17
BUT THEY HAD THE
SCRIPTURES WRONG.
00:08:27.20\00:08:28.87
THEY THOUGHT WHEN THE MESSIAH
CAME HE WAS GOING TO COME ON A
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.21
WHITE HORSE LIKE KING DAVID HE
WAS GOING TO DESTROY ALL OF THE
00:08:31.24\00:08:34.44
ROMANS LIKE SAMSON OR SOMETHING.
AND THEY WERE GOING TO BE A
00:08:34.48\00:08:37.28
WORLD EMPIRE LIKE SOLOMON - AND
THEY JUST HAD ALL THESE GREAT,
00:08:37.31\00:08:40.62
GLORIOUS IDEAS ABOUT WHEN
THE MESSIAH COMES AND JESUS SAID
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.35
'NO, NO, NO.' THAT'S WHEN I COME
THE SECOND TIME - FIRST TIME I'M
00:08:43.39\00:08:46.35
COMING LIKE A LAMB,
SECOND TIME I COME LIKE A LION.'
00:08:46.39\00:08:49.92
WELL, THE DEVIL'S DOING THE
SAME THING TO THE CHURCH TODAY.
00:08:49.96\00:08:52.86
LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED
ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING SO THEY
00:08:52.89\00:08:55.30
WON'T BE
PREPARED TO RECEIVE HIM.
00:08:55.33\00:08:58.17
A LOT OF CHRIST'S PEOPLE - THE
JEWS - DID NOT RECEIVE HIM WHEN
00:08:58.20\00:09:01.40
HE CAME THE FIRST TIME
BECAUSE THEY SAID, 'NAZARETH?
00:09:01.44\00:09:05.44
WHO? THERE'S NO
PROPHET IN NAZARETH.
00:09:05.47\00:09:07.58
AND A POOR CARPENTER.
HOW CAN THIS - CAN'T BE HIM.'
00:09:07.61\00:09:10.71
THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THAT HE
WAS COMING FIRST AS A SACRIFICE.
00:09:10.75\00:09:14.78
WELL NOW THERE'S A
LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
00:09:14.82\00:09:16.72
THERE ARE
PRINCIPALLY THREE VIEWS.
00:09:16.75\00:09:19.55
WHEN YOU READ REVELATION THERE'S
ONE GROUP THAT'S - THEY'RE
00:09:19.59\00:09:22.82
CALLED PRETERISTS AND
JUST THINK OF THE WORD PRE.
00:09:22.86\00:09:26.63
THEY BELIEVE THAT ALL OF
REVELATION WAS PRETTY MUCH
00:09:26.66\00:09:29.26
FULFILLED BY 100 A.D.. THEY
THINK NERO IS THE ANTICHRIST AND
00:09:29.30\00:09:32.57
THAT IT'S ALL
BEHIND US - GOOD PEOPLE.
00:09:32.60\00:09:35.80
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
THEN YOU HAVE FUTURISTS.
00:09:35.84\00:09:39.77
FUTURISTS ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE
POPULARIZED THE VERSION - THE
00:09:39.81\00:09:43.55
LEFT BEHIND SCENARIO WHERE MOST
OF REVELATION CHAPTER 4 - WHEN
00:09:43.58\00:09:47.38
JOHN SAYS 'I HEARD A VOICE AND
A TRUMPET' - THAT'S ALL FUTURE.
00:09:47.42\00:09:52.29
THEN YOU HAVE, WHERE I FALL
IN, WHAT THEY CALL HISTORISTS.
00:09:52.32\00:09:56.66
AND I AM IN THE COMPANY - THIS
IS - USED TO BE THE OLD VIEW.
00:09:56.69\00:10:00.56
IT'S NOT AS POPULAR AS IT
USED TO BE BUT IT'S WHAT THE
00:10:00.60\00:10:02.63
PROTESTANT REFORMERS BELIEVE IT
MEANS REVELATION IS COVERING A
00:10:02.66\00:10:06.90
PANORAMA OF HISTORY, FROM
THE FIRST COMING TO THE SECOND
00:10:06.94\00:10:10.21
COMING, AND YOU CAN KIND OF
TRACK THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH
00:10:10.24\00:10:13.34
AND GOD'S PEOPLE
ACROSS THAT HORIZON.
00:10:13.38\00:10:16.88
AND SO I'LL JUST TELL YOU RIGHT
NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT THE TWO MAIN
00:10:16.91\00:10:20.08
VIEWS ARE THE FUTURIST VIEW -
THERE'S NOT AS MANY PRETERISTS -
00:10:20.12\00:10:23.32
AND THE HISTORIC
VIEW. THE FUTURIST VIEW IS
00:10:23.35\00:10:26.65
A FAIRLY NEW VIEW. IT
WAS REALLY POPULARIZED BY HAL
00:10:26.69\00:10:30.29
LINDSEY'S BOOK - I DON'T KNOW
IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A BOOK
00:10:30.33\00:10:32.49
CALLED THE LATE
GREAT PLANET EARTH.
00:10:32.53\00:10:34.63
AND IN THAT BOOK HE PREDICTED
THAT, BECAUSE ISRAEL WAS
00:10:34.66\00:10:36.93
ESTABLISHED AS A NATION IN 1948,
IN 1981 THE SECRET RAPTURE WILL
00:10:36.97\00:10:41.74
TAKE PLACE; IN 1988 SEVEN
YEARS LATER AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF
00:10:41.77\00:10:44.77
TRIBULATION JESUS WILL
COME. AND NONE OF IT HAPPENED.
00:10:44.81\00:10:48.91
AND HE'S STILL SELLING BOOKS.
BUT IT BECAME VERY POPULAR THEN.
00:10:48.94\00:10:55.15
I AM WITH THE GROUP THAT
BELIEVES THAT THE TRIBULATION
00:10:55.18\00:10:59.32
COMES BEFORE JESUS COMES.
THE OTHER GROUP BELIEVES THAT
00:10:59.35\00:11:04.23
WE ARE CAUGHT UP
BEFORE THE TRIBULATION.
00:11:04.26\00:11:06.80
I'D LOVE TO BELIEVE THAT BUT
I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
00:11:06.83\00:11:09.73
BIBLE TEACHES. AND WE
WANT TO KNOW - AND I'M
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.27
GOING TO GIVE YOU
BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE HERE.
00:11:12.30\00:11:14.44
IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME THEN WE
CAN STILL LOVE AND RESPECT EACH
00:11:14.47\00:11:16.81
OTHER, BUT YOU OWE IT TO
YOURSELF TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND
00:11:16.84\00:11:19.14
YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT
MAY BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY, AMEN?
00:11:19.17\00:11:23.48
WE CAN DISAGREE AND
STILL BE AGREEABLE, RIGHT?
00:11:23.51\00:11:26.85
WILL JESUS COME
QUIETLY? LET'S LOOK AT WHAT
00:11:26.88\00:11:28.58
THE BIBLE SAYS. 1
THESSALONIANS 4:16, "FOR THE
00:11:28.62\00:11:32.49
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT WITH THE
00:11:32.52\00:11:35.46
VOICE OF THE
ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD.
00:11:35.49\00:11:38.16
AND THEN" - IT TELLS US -
"THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE."
00:11:38.19\00:11:40.96
A TRUMP. YOU READ
IN JEREMIAH 25:30 - IT
00:11:40.96\00:11:44.50
TELLS US, "THE LORD
WILL ROAR FROM ON HIGH.
00:11:44.53\00:11:48.17
HE WILL UTTER HIS VOICE
FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION.
00:11:48.20\00:11:51.14
HE WILL MIGHTILY
ROAR UPON HIS HABITATION.
00:11:51.17\00:11:54.28
HE WILL GIVE A
SHOUT." JESUS' COMING IS
00:11:54.31\00:11:57.51
A VERY LOUD EVENT. YOU
READ IN PSALM 50 - IF THIS
00:11:57.55\00:12:00.55
WAS THE ONLY ONE IT WOULD
BE PRETTY CONVINCING - IT SAYS
00:12:00.58\00:12:03.32
THERE, "OUR GOD SHALL COME AND
HE WILL NOT KEEP SILENT AND IT
00:12:03.35\00:12:08.22
WILL BE VERY TEMPESTUOUS"
- STORMY - "ROUND ABOUT HIM."
00:12:08.26\00:12:11.29
IT'S A GREAT CLIMATIC EVENT.
AND SOMEONE MIGHT BE THINKING,
00:12:11.33\00:12:15.23
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, THE BIBLE
SAYS HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF.
00:12:15.26\00:12:19.13
DOESN'T THAT MEAN
HE'S COMING QUIETLY?'
00:12:19.17\00:12:21.00
I DON'T THINK SO. YOU
CAN READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE
00:12:21.04\00:12:24.01
IT SAYS IN 2 PETER CHAPTER 3 IT
SAYS, "THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL
00:12:24.04\00:12:28.01
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
IN WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS
00:12:28.04\00:12:31.58
AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE" -
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DAY THAT
00:12:31.61\00:12:33.75
HE COMES LIKE A THIEF?
NOTICE, "HEAVENS PASS AWAY WITH
00:12:33.78\00:12:36.69
GREAT NOISE" - THERE'S A
NOISE AGAIN - "AND THE ELEMENTS
00:12:36.72\00:12:39.45
WILL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT.
AND THE EARTH AND THE WORKS THAT
00:12:39.49\00:12:42.99
ARE IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
SO, WHEN JESUS COMES S A THIEF,
00:12:43.02\00:12:47.23
DOES IT SOUND TO YOU LIKE
LIFE GOES ON HERE ON EARTH?
00:12:47.30\00:12:52.03
HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF.
THAT JUST MEANS IT'S A SURPRISE.
00:12:52.07\00:12:55.57
NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
TO TELL YOU, BUT I'VE NOT ALWAYS
00:12:55.60\00:12:56.97
BEEN A CHRISTIAN.
I USED TO BE A THIEF.
00:12:57.01\00:12:59.37
I WOULD BREAK INTO HOUSES AND
STEAL - RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA,
00:12:59.41\00:13:03.11
ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I USED
TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA.
00:13:03.14\00:13:05.78
NOT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO
I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING.
00:13:05.81\00:13:07.78
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) BUT I NEVER
SENT OUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND
00:13:07.82\00:13:11.35
SAID 'I'LL BE COMING
JUST ONE TO LET YOU KNOW.'
00:13:11.39\00:13:13.62
IT WAS A SURPRISE. SO
THAT'S WHAT JESUS IS SAYING
00:13:13.66\00:13:16.22
IT'S GOING TO SURPRISE
PEOPLE - BUT WHEN HE COMES.
00:13:16.26\00:13:19.43
THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW. >>I
READ ONE TIME ABOUT A PASTOR
00:13:19.46\00:13:23.13
THAT DID SOME RESEARCH AND
HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THERE
00:13:23.16\00:13:26.50
ARE OVER 300 REFERENCES
TO THE SECOND COMING OF
00:13:26.53\00:13:29.54
JESUS IN THE BIBLE.
OBVIOUSLY IF THE RETURN OF
00:13:29.57\00:13:32.87
CHRIST IS SUCH A
PRIORITY WITH GOD, IT SHOULD BE
00:13:32.91\00:13:35.71
AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS. WE
NEED TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS
00:13:35.74\00:13:38.68
COMING, THAT HE'S COMING SOON,
AND SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S
00:13:38.71\00:13:42.52
COMING, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS
THE DEVIL IS GOING TO ATTEMPT
00:13:42.55\00:13:45.92
TO IMPERSONATE CHRIST'S RETURN.
WE NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
00:13:45.95\00:13:49.56
THAT'S WHY WE'VE PREPARED
THIS SPECIAL STUDY GUIDE FOR YOU
00:13:49.59\00:13:52.26

>>NOW WHO IS GOING TO SEE
00:14:15.88\00:14:18.72
CHRIST WHEN HE RETURNS? IS
IT ONLY A SELECT GROUP THAT
00:14:18.75\00:14:22.32
DISAPPEARS AND -
LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS.
00:14:22.36\00:14:25.59
I CAN GIVE YOU SEVERAL VERSES
HERE - MATTHEW 24:30, "AND THEN
00:14:25.63\00:14:29.16
SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON
OF MAN IN HEAVEN AND THEN SHALL
00:14:29.20\00:14:33.07
ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH
MOURN AND THEY SHALL SEE THE SON
00:14:33.10\00:14:37.34
OF MAN COMING IN THE IN THE
CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND
00:14:37.37\00:14:40.74
GREAT GLORY" - THEY'RE GOING TO
SEE HIM COMING - GREAT POWER -
00:14:40.78\00:14:43.35
GREAT GLORY -
MEANS BRILLIANT SPLENDOR.
00:14:43.38\00:14:46.25
AND AGAIN, REVELATION 1:7.
BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH THE CLOUDS
00:14:46.28\00:14:50.39
AND EVERY EYE WILL
SEE HIM. WHO WILL BE WITH
00:14:50.42\00:14:53.66
JESUS WHEN HE COMES?
HE'S NOT COMING ALONE.
00:14:53.69\00:14:58.29
THE BIBLE SAYS THE SON OF MAN
WILL COME IN HIS GLORY - THAT'S
00:14:58.33\00:15:01.80
THAT SPLENDOR -
AND HOW MANY? >>ALL
00:15:01.83\00:15:04.87
>>ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM.
WELL HOW MANY ANGELS ARE THERE?
00:15:04.90\00:15:10.87
LET'S THINK ABOUT
THAT FOR A MINUTE.
00:15:10.91\00:15:14.38
MOST OF US HAVE
A GUARDIAN ANGEL.
00:15:14.41\00:15:16.38
BIBLE SAYS JESUS SAID, SPEAKING
OF CHILDREN, THEIR ANGELS DO
00:15:16.41\00:15:20.28
BEHOLD THE FACE OF MY FATHER'
- IMPLYING THAT THEY'VE GOT AN
00:15:20.32\00:15:22.65
ANGEL WATCHING THEM.
SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE IN THE
00:15:22.68\00:15:26.82
WORLD - GOD'S ANGELS
NOT ONLY WATCH OVER PEOPLE,
00:15:26.86\00:15:29.99
THEY'RE DOING HIS WORK.
THEY'RE THE MINISTERING SPIRITS.
00:15:30.03\00:15:32.26
THEY'RE THE ARMY OF GOD -
THEY'RE CALLED THE HEAVENLY HOST
00:15:32.29\00:15:34.83
- VERY REAL CREATURES
WITH INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY -
00:15:34.83\00:15:38.27
BILLIONS OF THEM. NOW
ONE ANGEL CAME DOWN FROM
00:15:38.30\00:15:42.84
GOD, YOU READ IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IN THE DAYS OF KING
00:15:42.87\00:15:45.14
HEZEKEIAH - THE ANGEL OF THE
LORD WENT THROUGH THE ARMY OF
00:15:45.17\00:15:47.81
SYRIA - ONE ANGEL KILLED 185,000
ENEMY SOLDIERS IN ONE DAY.
00:15:47.84\00:15:53.88
THE ANGELS THAT WERE GUARDING
THE TOMB OF JESUS - I'M SORRY -
00:15:53.92\00:15:57.05
WHEN THE ANGELS CAME TO THE TOMB
OF JESUS AT THE RESURRECTION,
00:15:57.09\00:16:01.36
THE ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT
WERE GUARDING THE TOMB WERE SO
00:16:01.39\00:16:03.63
FRIGHTENED BY THE GLORY OF THAT
ANGEL THAT CAME DOWN AND ROLLED
00:16:03.66\00:16:06.16
AWAY THE STONE, THEY FELL
OVER AS THOUGH THEY WERE DEAD.
00:16:06.19\00:16:08.93
ONE ANGEL. CAN YOU
IMAGINE THE HEAVEN BEING
00:16:08.96\00:16:11.93
FILLED WITH THE BRILLIANCE
OF BILLIONS OF ANGELS?
00:16:11.97\00:16:17.41
HE DIDN'T SAY WE'RE
LEAVING ANY OF 'EM BEHIND.
00:16:17.44\00:16:18.94
HE SAID ALL THE ANGELS.
ALL THE ANGELS HAVE BEEN
00:16:18.97\00:16:22.01
INVOLVED IN OUR SALVATION.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY
00:16:22.04\00:16:24.45
INTERESTED IN US BEING REDEEMED
AND YOU'LL SEE, THEY PLAY A PART
00:16:24.48\00:16:28.12
IN OUR BEING
COLLECTED, SO TO SPEAK.
00:16:28.15\00:16:31.82
WHAT WILL THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE
GLORY OF LORD'S COMING AND ALL
00:16:31.85\00:16:35.56
THESE ANGELS DO TO
THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY?
00:16:35.59\00:16:38.69
"WHEN JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED
FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY
00:16:38.73\00:16:42.33
ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING
VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT
00:16:42.36\00:16:48.20
GOD." AND, AGAIN, THAT WAS 2
00:16:48.24\00:16:50.24
THESSALONIANS,
CHAPTER 1, VERSES 7 AND 8.
00:16:50.27\00:16:53.41
YOU CAN READ IN 2 THESSALONIANS
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 8, "AND THEN
00:16:53.44\00:16:57.05
SHALL THAT WICKED ONE BE
REVEALED WHOM THE LORD WILL
00:16:57.08\00:17:00.62
CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF
HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY WITH THE
00:17:00.65\00:17:04.59
BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING."
THE WICKED ONE'S DESTROYED BY
00:17:04.62\00:17:08.02
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WHEN YOU'RE
00:17:08.06\00:17:11.56
OUT THE FIELD ON A NICE SUNNY
DAY AND YOU JUST CURIOUS, YOU
00:17:11.59\00:17:13.76
PICK UP A STONE, YOU TURN AND
YOU SEE ALL THESE CRAWLY THINGS
00:17:13.80\00:17:16.16
START RUNNING FOR THE
DARK. AND AT NIGHT YOU CAN LIGHT
00:17:16.20\00:17:21.54
SOMETHING OUT THE WOODS AND ALL
OF THE MOTHS COME TO THE LIGHT.
00:17:21.57\00:17:25.24
YOU'VE GOT TWO
KINDS OF BUGS OUT THERE.
00:17:25.27\00:17:27.68
YOU'VE GOT BUGS LIKE COCKROACHES
THAT RUN FROM THE LIGHT, AND
00:17:27.71\00:17:30.68
YOU'VE GOT MOTHS AND
BUTTERFLIES THAT LOVE THE LIGHT.
00:17:30.71\00:17:33.95
AND THAT'S THE KIND OF
PEOPLE YOU GOT WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:17:33.98\00:17:36.55
YOU'VE GOT YOUR COCKROACHES
AND YOUR BUTTERFLIES.
00:17:36.58\00:17:38.75
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SO THOSE THAT
ARE - IT'S REALLY - IF YOU DON'T
00:17:38.79\00:17:43.02
HAVE THE LORD IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
ARE GOING TO BE TERRIFIED BY HIS
00:17:43.06\00:17:46.96
COMING. BUT IF
YOU LOVE THE LORD, THE
00:17:47.00\00:17:48.56
BIBLE CALLS HIS
COMING THE BLESSED HOPE.
00:17:48.60\00:17:51.07
>>AMEN. >>BUT
HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING A
00:17:51.10\00:17:52.47
LIFE OF SELFISHNESS AND
SIN, IT'S GOING TO FRIGHTEN
00:17:52.50\00:17:54.97
YOU AND IT SHOULD. GOD
WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE,
00:17:55.00\00:17:57.77
BUT HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO
HAVE PEACE IF YOU'RE ON YOUR
00:17:57.81\00:18:00.14
WAY TO DESTRUCTION. HE
WANTS YOU TO BE TROUBLED
00:18:00.18\00:18:02.74
UNTIL YOU
REPENT AND COME TO HIM.
00:18:02.78\00:18:05.21
THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
COMING WILL DESTROY THEM.
00:18:05.25\00:18:07.72
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RIGHTEOUS
WHO ARE DEAD AT JESUS' COMING?
00:18:07.75\00:18:12.59
FIRST WE'LL START WITH
THE RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD.
00:18:12.62\00:18:14.46
YOU READ THERE THE DEAD
IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST.
00:18:14.49\00:18:17.59
THAT'S WHERE WE READ IN 1
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4 "THE
00:18:17.63\00:18:20.20
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND
FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT;" - THE
00:18:20.23\00:18:22.73
VOICE OF THE
ARCHANGEL, THE TRUMPET OF GOD.
00:18:22.76\00:18:25.27
SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT IS THE
LOUDEST VERSE IN THE BIBLE AND
00:18:25.30\00:18:29.30
THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
FIRST. SO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE
00:18:29.34\00:18:32.64
A SECRET STILL? AT
THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS TO
00:18:32.67\00:18:36.54
THE LIVING WHO ARE
- WHEN THE LORD COMES?
00:18:36.58\00:18:39.65
THE LIVING AND THE RESURRECTED
SAINTS, I SHOULD SAY.
00:18:39.68\00:18:42.72
SO YOU GET THE DEAD
IN CHRIST THEY RISE.
00:18:42.75\00:18:44.62
SOME OF US WE HOPE TO BE ALIVE
WHEN JESUS COMES - I'D LIKE TO
00:18:44.65\00:18:47.19
IF I CAN, AVOID DEATH.
WOODY ALLEN SAID ONE TIME,
00:18:47.22\00:18:51.96
'I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THERE
00:18:51.99\00:18:53.56
WHEN IT HAPPENS.' (LAUGHTER) SO
MOST OF US ARE PREWIRED BY GOD
00:18:53.60\00:18:59.30
THAT WE'D LIKE
TO STAY ALIVE RIGHT?
00:18:59.33\00:19:01.64
SO WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE?
00:19:01.67\00:19:03.51
IT SAYS THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARE
RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE AND THOSE
00:19:03.54\00:19:06.68
OF US WHO ARE ALIVE
WILL BE CHANGED IN A MOMENT.
00:19:06.71\00:19:10.55
IT TELLS US THIS CORRUPTIBLE
WILL PUT ON INCORRUPTION -
00:19:10.58\00:19:13.62
CORRUPTIBLE MEANS OUR BODIES
- WE, YOU KNOW, GET OLD, THEY
00:19:13.65\00:19:15.82
DECAY, THEY DIE.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THESE
00:19:15.85\00:19:18.15
GLORIFIED BODIES - LIKE THE
KIND ADAM AND EVE HAD BEFORE SIN
00:19:18.19\00:19:22.49
- BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT OUT.
'THIS CORRUPTIBLE WILL PUT ON
00:19:22.52\00:19:25.99
INCORRUPTION AND THIS
MORTAL WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
00:19:26.03\00:19:29.20
THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE
AND REMAIN WILL BE CAUGHT UP
00:19:29.23\00:19:32.33
TOGETHER.' WHAT
DIRECTION DO WE GO?
00:19:32.37\00:19:33.84
>>UP. >>THAT'S WHEN IT'S
00:19:33.87\00:19:35.17
TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE.
WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP, OR
00:19:35.20\00:19:37.67
RAPTURED UP TOGETHER
WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS.
00:19:37.71\00:19:41.74
WE MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
SO JESUS' FEET DON'T TOUCH THE
00:19:41.78\00:19:44.01
GROUND WHEN HE COMES
NEXT TIME, WE MEET HIM.
00:19:44.05\00:19:47.38
AND CHRIST SAID THIS
IS HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN.
00:19:47.42\00:19:48.85
HE SAID, 'I GO TO PREPARE A
PLACE FOR YOU AND IF I GO AND
00:19:48.88\00:19:51.65
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL
COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO
00:19:51.69\00:19:55.52
MYSELF - THAT'S WHEN WE'RE
CAUGHT UP - 'THAT WHERE I AM' -
00:19:55.56\00:19:57.79
HE TAKES US WHERE?
BACK TO HEAVEN - 'YOU
00:19:57.83\00:19:59.26
MAY BE ALSO' - RIGHT?
WE'VE READ WHERE IT SAYS THE
00:19:59.29\00:20:02.56
LORD'S COMING IS LITERAL,
PERSONAL, VISIBLE, AUDIBLE,
00:20:02.60\00:20:06.84
PHYSICAL, VITALITY -
VITALIZING, GLORIOUS, CLIMATIC -
00:20:06.87\00:20:11.31
THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE.
EVERY SENSE IN YOUR BEING
00:20:11.34\00:20:14.11
WILL KNOW WHEN JESUS COMES.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TEXT SOMEONE
00:20:14.14\00:20:16.78
AND SAY, 'DID YOU
CATCH IT?' 'CATCH WHAT?'
00:20:16.81\00:20:18.35
'JESUS CAME WITH ALL THE
ANGELS YESTERDAY DID YOU?'
00:20:18.38\00:20:20.75
- 'I MISSED IT. I DID
NOTICE SOME PLANES GOING
00:20:20.78\00:20:23.55
DOWN AND CARS CAREENING OFF THE
ROAD, BUT - THERE WAS A CLUMP OF
00:20:23.59\00:20:26.96
CLOTHES IN THE BED
NEXT TO ME WHEN I WOKE UP.
00:20:26.99\00:20:29.66
I THINK IT WAS MY SPOUSE BUT
THEY'RE GONE NOW.' YEAH, I KNOW
00:20:29.69\00:20:33.16
I'M TEASING MAYBE. I
DON'T MEAN TO BE UNKIND BUT,
00:20:33.19\00:20:35.06
TO ME, I ACTUALLY KNOW PEOPLE
WHO THINK 'WELL, IF I'M NOT
00:20:35.10\00:20:39.67
READY WHEN JESUS
COMES, NO BIG DEAL.
00:20:39.70\00:20:42.74
IF MY SPOUSE - THEY'RE
CHRISTIAN, THEY BELIEVE, IF THEY
00:20:42.77\00:20:45.77
DISAPPEAR THEN I'LL GET SERIOUS.
I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
00:20:45.81\00:20:48.08
TRIBULATION BUT
THEN I'LL KNOW IT'S TRUE.
00:20:48.11\00:20:50.91
AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY
PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE THINKING
00:20:50.95\00:20:53.11
THEY'RE GOING TO
GET A SECOND CHANCE.
00:20:53.15\00:20:55.68
THAT'S WHY IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS
THING TO NOT UNDERSTAND THE HOW
00:20:55.72\00:21:00.66
OF HIS COMING.
ANOTHER REASON WAS BECAUSE
00:21:00.69\00:21:03.22
THE DEVILS GOT A LOT OF
IMPERSONATORS OUT THERE.
00:21:03.26\00:21:07.60
WHAT SOLEMN WARNING DOES JESUS
GIVE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING?
00:21:07.66\00:21:10.77
AS YOU START READING MATTHEW
11 - FIRST THING HE TOLD - I'M
00:21:10.80\00:21:14.04
SORRY - MATTHEW CHAPTER 24.
FIRST THING HE SAYS IS BE AWARE
00:21:14.07\00:21:18.01
THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.
HE REPEATS IT OVER AND OVER.
00:21:18.04\00:21:21.28
'MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME
SAYING I AM CHRIST AND DECEIVE
00:21:21.31\00:21:25.48
MANY.' AND I REMEMBER BAPTIZING
A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS IN
00:21:25.51\00:21:29.62
JONESTOWN WITH JIM JONES.
SHE ESCAPED JUST BEFORE THINGS
00:21:29.65\00:21:33.52
ALL WENT SIDEWAYS THERE
AND TOLD HORRIBLE STORIES.
00:21:33.56\00:21:37.79
HE STARTED OUT METHODIST
PREACHER - GOOD CHURCH -
00:21:37.83\00:21:40.26
PREACHING FROM THE BIBLE
AND JUST - BUT HE WAS A FALSE
00:21:40.30\00:21:43.57
PROPHET. SEE, HE SAID,
ULTIMATELY, HE WAS CHRIST.
00:21:43.60\00:21:48.24
JESUS SAID THERE
WILL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS.
00:21:48.27\00:21:51.31
THEY WILL SHOW
SIGNS AND WONDERS.
00:21:51.34\00:21:53.17
ARE MIRACLE, SIGNS, AND WONDERS
THE EVIDENCE OF WHO IS REAL AND
00:21:53.21\00:21:55.81
WHO'S NOT? CAN
THE DEVIL DO MIRACLES?
00:21:55.84\00:21:57.85
>>YES. >>HE CAN.
00:21:57.88\00:21:59.31
WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
AND THEY'LL DO THIS TO DECEIVE,
00:21:59.35\00:22:02.35
IF IT WERE
POSSIBLE, THE VERY ELECT.
00:22:02.38\00:22:03.85
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED TO KNOW
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BECAUSE THE
00:22:03.89\00:22:06.15
DEVIL'S GOING TO HAVE POWERFUL
DECEPTIONS IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:22:06.19\00:22:09.19
SOME OF US REMEMBER
THE HEAVEN'S GATE GROUP.
00:22:09.22\00:22:11.86
MARSHALL APPLEWHITE - 39 PEOPLE
BELIEVED THIS POOR DERANGED MAN
00:22:11.89\00:22:16.80
WHO SAID THAT HE WAS A
REINCARNATION OF CHRIST AND THEY
00:22:16.83\00:22:20.24
NEEDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE SO THEY
COULD GET ON A SPACESHIP THAT
00:22:20.27\00:22:23.67
WAS BEHIND THE HALE-BOTT COMET -
HALE-BOTT COMET - AND THEY TOOK
00:22:23.71\00:22:29.01
THIS DEADLY COCKTAIL. 39
PEOPLE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
00:22:29.04\00:22:33.65
AND HE SAID GOD WAS SENDING
MESSAGES THROUGH STAR TREK.
00:22:33.68\00:22:37.52
THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GOD
SENDING MESSAGES, BUT IT WASN'T
00:22:37.55\00:22:39.65
JESUS. WHAT'S
GOING TO PREVENT THE
00:22:39.69\00:22:42.19
RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING
DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:22:42.22\00:22:45.19
ISAIAH 8:20 - THAT'S WHY
WE WANT TO KNOW YOUR BIBLES.
00:22:45.23\00:22:48.50
I HOPE YOU CHECK ON
EVERYTHING I'M SAYING.
00:22:48.53\00:22:50.33
YOU CAN TAKE NOTES.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'TO THE
00:22:50.37\00:22:52.63
LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY.
THAT'S HOW THE BIBLE REFERS TO
00:22:52.67\00:22:54.84
THE BIBLE - THE LAW AND THE
PROPHETS - 'IF THEY SPEAK NOT
00:22:54.87\00:22:57.41
ACCORDING TO THIS WORD
IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIGHT IN
00:22:57.44\00:23:00.24
THEM.' YOU MEASURE EVERYTHING BY
THE SCRIPTURES YOU NEED TO KNOW.
00:23:00.28\00:23:04.28
JESUS SAID, 'SEEK
AND YOU'LL FIND.' AMEN?
00:23:04.31\00:23:07.32
WHAT WILL THE WICKED
SAY WHEN JESUS RETURNS?
00:23:07.35\00:23:10.82
'AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND
THE GREAT MEN AND THE RICH MEN
00:23:10.85\00:23:14.42
IN THE CHIEF CAPTAINS AND THE
MIGHTY MEN AND EVERY BONDMAN AND
00:23:14.46\00:23:18.06
EVERY FREE MAN' - SPEAKING
OF THE LOST - 'THEY SAID TO THE
00:23:18.09\00:23:21.06
MOUNTAINS AND TO THE ROCKS,
'FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE
00:23:21.10\00:23:24.60
FACE OF HIM THAT
SITS ON THE THRONE.
00:23:24.63\00:23:27.27
FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH
IS COME AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO
00:23:27.30\00:23:30.84
STAND?'' I TOLD
YOU, ONCE AGAIN, TWO
00:23:30.87\00:23:32.34
KINDS OF PEOPLE - YOU'VE
GOT THE ONES WHO KNOW CHRIST
00:23:32.37\00:23:35.04
AND HE'S IN THEIR HEART.
YOU HAVE THOSE WHO HAVE RESISTED
00:23:35.08\00:23:37.41
HIM AND THEY BECOME HIS ENEMIES.
YOU'VE EITHER GOT THE LOVE OF
00:23:37.45\00:23:41.18
GOD OR THE WRATH OF THE
LAMB. I WANT HIM TO COME AS MY
00:23:41.22\00:23:43.92
LORD AND MY SAVIOR
NOT AS MY ADVERSARY. AMEN?
00:23:43.95\00:23:48.26
WHAT IS THE PRIME REASON
FOR JESUS' SECOND COMING?
00:23:48.29\00:23:52.16
IS HE COMING TO
GET EVEN WITH THE LOST?
00:23:52.19\00:23:54.73
NO, HE'S COMING
TO REDEEM HIS OWN.
00:23:54.73\00:23:57.23
JOHN 14:3, "I WILL COME AGAIN
AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT
00:23:57.27\00:24:02.47
WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE"
- WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE.
00:24:02.50\00:24:05.57
REVELATION SAYS GOD,
HIMSELF, WILL BE WITH US.
00:24:05.61\00:24:08.41
WE WILL SEE HIS
FACE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:24:08.44\00:24:12.95
"NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS
DARKLY BUT THEN FACE TO FACE."
00:24:12.98\00:24:16.08
1 CORINTHIANS 13.
WHAT A PRIVILEGE THAT WE
00:24:16.12\00:24:19.12
CAN SEE GOD FACE TO FACE.
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, GOD IS GIVING
00:24:19.15\00:24:23.29
US THE SIGNS ALONG THE WAY AND I
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE
00:24:23.32\00:24:29.03
ARE SOME DIFFICULT DAYS
AHEAD. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING
00:24:29.06\00:24:32.43
TO BE A
TRIBULATION. SEE, I BELIEVE THE
00:24:32.47\00:24:34.57
LORD IS COMING. I
BELIEVE WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP,
00:24:34.60\00:24:36.74
BUT I BELIEVE THE TRIBULATION
COMES BEFORE THE RAPTURE.
00:24:36.77\00:24:39.81
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>DOES GOD SAVE HIS PEOPLE
00:24:39.84\00:24:41.64
FROM TROUBLE OR
THROUGH IT? >>THROUGH IT.
00:24:41.68\00:24:44.71
DID GOD SAVE NOAH FROM THE
FLOOD OR DID HE SAVE HIM THROUGH
00:24:44.75\00:24:47.32
THE STORM? >THROUGH THE STORM.
00:24:47.35\00:24:49.22
>>DID GOD SAVE JOSEPH FROM
HIS TRIALS OR THROUGH THEM?
00:24:49.25\00:24:52.95
HOW ABOUT JOB? WAS HE
SAVED FROM TRIBULATION
00:24:52.99\00:24:55.59
OR THROUGH TRIBULATION?
DOESN'T PAUL SAY 'IT IS THROUGH
00:24:55.62\00:24:58.93
MUCH TRIBULATION WE WILL
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD'?
00:24:58.96\00:25:03.06
GOD IS COMING FOR A CHURCH
WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE OR ANY
00:25:03.10\00:25:06.27
SUCH THINGS. YOU GET
OUT THE SPOTS AND THE
00:25:06.30\00:25:08.44
WRINKLE WITH A HOT
IRON AND HOT WATER.
00:25:08.47\00:25:10.77
SO THE IDEA THAT THE CHURCH IS
NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ANY KIND
00:25:10.81\00:25:13.71
OF PURGING OR PURIFICATION
BEFORE THAT - WHEN DOES A CHURCH
00:25:13.74\00:25:17.05
SHINE THE BRIGHTEST, IN
THE LIGHT OR IN THE DARKNESS?
00:25:17.08\00:25:21.28
THERE IS GOING TO BE A
TIME OF GREAT DARKNESS.
00:25:21.32\00:25:23.28
JESUS SAID IT WAS AT
MIDNIGHT THE CRY WAS GIVEN.
00:25:23.32\00:25:25.99
BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM
COMES. AND SO THERE ARE SOME
00:25:26.02\00:25:28.82
DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD.
I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
00:25:28.86\00:25:31.79
YOU KNOW WHY? GOD
SAID IF YOU MAKE THE MOST
00:25:31.83\00:25:35.76
HIGH YOUR HABITATION
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID.
00:25:35.80\00:25:38.57
>>AMEN. >>HE HAS GIVEN US SIGNS.
00:25:38.60\00:25:41.40
AND SOME OF CHRISTIANS ARE
LOSING HOPE, RIGHT HERE ON THE
00:25:41.44\00:25:44.17
BORDERS OF THE
GREATEST EVENT IN HISTORY.
00:25:44.21\00:25:47.58
YOU KNOW, I LOVE HISTORY.
I REMEMBER READING ABOUT
00:25:47.61\00:25:50.01
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WHEN HE WAS
CROSSING THE OCEAN, YOU KNOW,
00:25:50.05\00:25:53.05
AND HE JUST WENT LAUNCHING OUT
AND HE SAID, 'WE'RE GOING TO GO
00:25:53.08\00:25:55.95
DISCOVER A NEW PASSAGE.' NONE OF
THE EXPLORERS FROM PORTUGAL OR
00:25:55.98\00:26:00.19
SPAIN WENT VERY FAR INTO
THE ATLANTIC AS THEY HAD RUMORS
00:26:00.22\00:26:02.89
YOU WERE GOING TO SAIL OFF THE
EARTH, THERE WERE DRAGONS OUT
00:26:02.92\00:26:04.93
THERE, AND ALL
THESE SCARY STORIES.
00:26:04.96\00:26:07.76
AND HE SAID 'WE'RE JUST GOING
TO SAIL WEST UNTIL WE FIND OUR
00:26:07.83\00:26:11.77
OBJECTIVE.' AND, YOU KNOW,
AFTER TWO MONTHS IN AUGUST AND
00:26:11.80\00:26:15.47
SEPTEMBER, THOSE
SAILORS WERE READY TO MUTINY.
00:26:15.50\00:26:18.17
AND COLUMBUS -
YOU - READ HIS DIARY.
00:26:18.21\00:26:20.54
HE PRAYED A LOT.
HE BELIEVED HE WAS
00:26:20.58\00:26:22.98
ON A DIVINE QUEST. HE
FINALLY TOLD HIS SAILORS,
00:26:23.01\00:26:25.85
GIVE ME THREE MORE DAYS. IF
WE DON'T SEE LAND WE'LL TURN
00:26:25.88\00:26:28.02
AROUND.' CAN YOU
IMAGINE WHAT WAS AT STAKE?
00:26:28.05\00:26:30.95
BUT AS THOSE DAYS PASSED THEY
BEGAN TO SEE SIGNS - OVERTURNED
00:26:30.99\00:26:35.62
CANOE WENT BY AND THEY SAW
COCONUTS FLOAT BY - SOME TUFTS
00:26:35.66\00:26:39.36
OF VEGETATION. WATER
BEGAN TO CHANGE COLOR AND
00:26:39.39\00:26:42.13
SALTINESS CHANGED IN THE WATER.
THEY NOTICED WHEN THEY WERE
00:26:42.16\00:26:45.00
SOUNDING THAT IT
WAS GETTING SHALLOWER.
00:26:45.03\00:26:47.90
THEY - SONGBIRDS CAME BY - THEY
COULDN'T SEE LAND BUT THEY SAW
00:26:47.94\00:26:51.71
THE SIGNS THAT
THEY WERE NEARING SHORE.
00:26:51.74\00:26:54.51
AND THEY WERE ALL ENCOURAGED
BY THE SIGNS TO PRESS ON.
00:26:54.54\00:26:57.31
FINALLY, AT THE END OF THE THIRD
DAY, AT NIGHT, THEY SAW A FIRE
00:26:57.35\00:27:01.48
IN THE DISTANCE.
NEXT MORNING THEY SPOTTED
00:27:01.52\00:27:04.15
LAND - SAN SALVADOR.
WELL, FRIENDS, WE SEE THE SIGNS.
00:27:04.19\00:27:08.19
JESUS IS ABOUT TO
COME. I WANT TO BE READY.
00:27:08.22\00:27:11.06
HOW ABOUT YOU? >>AMEN.
00:27:11.09\00:27:12.29
>>LET'S FACE IT, IT'S NOT ALWAYS
EASY TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING

I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT OF

DIFFERENT MINISTERS, BUT THIS
WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S
00:28:08.92\00:28:12.39
ACTUALLY SAYING SOMETHING
WHERE I HAD TO GRAB MY BIBLE AND
00:28:12.42\00:28:15.29

I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE.
00:28:15.32\00:28:18.53

QUESTION WAS, 'WHY DID
00:28:27.57\00:28:30.47
THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?'
THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT
00:28:30.51\00:28:33.54

ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS A FATHER.
