01:00 >>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
01:03 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 01:11 >>THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD. 01:14 I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING TO BE A TRIBULATION. 01:16 YOU SEE, I BELIEVE THE LORD IS COMING. 01:17 I BELIEVE WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP. 01:19 DOES GOD SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM TROUBLE OR THROUGH IT? 01:24 >>FOR OVER 40 YEARS. AMAZING FACTS HAS BEEN DEDICATED 01:27 TO SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH MEDIA. 01:30 THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION 01:34 BROADCASTS. WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND 01:36 ENJOY THIS EDITION OF AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS. 01:45 >>PEOPLE KNOW THAT SOMETHING UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING. 01:50 IN 2010 THE PEW RESEARCH GROUP DID A SURVEY AND IN THAT SURVEY 01:57 THEY EXPLAINED THAT BY THE YEAR 2050 - 50 ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF 02:05 THE PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT JESUS WOULD COME. 02:08 I THINK 40 OF THOSE 60 PERCENT WERE ABSOLUTELY SURE. 02:11 20 PERCENT SAID 'PROBABLY' AND THAT'S IN NORTH AMERICA, OF 02:14 COURSE. AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO 02:17 BE TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT THE PINNACLE OF PROPHECY AND 02:20 SIGNS OF JESUS' COMING. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY INTERESTING, 02:24 WE'RE GOING TO BE FINDING THAT THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS A 02:27 PARTNER BOOK FOR REVELATION. SO WE'LL BE GOING 02:29 BACK AND FORTH. REVELATION DOES A LOT OF 02:31 REFERRING TO THE BOOK OF DANIEL. YOU LOOK IN DANIEL CHAPTER 12 02:35 AND HE SAYS, IN VERSE 4, "BUT YOU DANIEL SHUT UP THE WORDS AND 02:40 SEAL THE BOOK UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END." 02:42 SO NO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. 02:45 AND HE GOES ON TO SAY, "MANY WILL RUN TO AND FRO." 02:49 FIRST OF ALL, I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH 02:51 THE WORD OF GOD AND DISCOVER TRUTH. 02:54 BUT YOU CAN'T MISS THE POINT THAT PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TO AND 02:57 FRO FASTER - DO YOU REALIZE, FOR ABOUT SIX THOUSAND YEARS, PEOPLE 03:00 - THE FASTEST THING YOU GOT IS A HORSE? 03:03 JUST CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THE CHANGE THAT'S BEEN SEEN. 03:06 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, BACK IN 2006 - I KNOW IT'S AN OLD 03:09 ARTICLE BUT IT STILL BEARS THE POINT. 03:10 THAT'S THE MAGAZINE COVER, IF YOU WANT TO REFERENCE IT. 03:12 THERE'S A QUOTE IN THERE. PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING FAR FROM 03:15 HOME MORE THAN EVER BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY AND 03:20 KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE. THIS IS A PICTURE HERE ON THE 03:24 SCREEN OF THE GREAT HADRON ACCELERATOR. 03:27 IT IS - IT'S THE LARGEST EXPERIMENT IN THE WORLD. 03:30 IT'S THE BIGGEST MACHINE IN THE WORLD. 03:32 IT'S UNDER THE GROUND ABOUT 500 FEET - A 17-MILE TUNNEL IN 03:38 GENEVA UNDERNEATH THE GROUND WHERE THE - ALL THESE EUROPEAN 03:42 GOVERNMENTS GOT TOGETHER AND THEY POURED LIKE 13 BILLION 03:45 DOLLARS INTO BUILDING THIS TESTING EQUIPMENT TO UNDERSTAND 03:51 PHYSICS. AND AS THEY HYPER ACCELERATE 03:55 THESE PARTICLES THEY SMASH THEM AN THEN MEASURE WHAT THEY FIND 03:58 TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS THE BASE CORE OF 04:00 WHAT LIFE IS MADE OF? WHAT IS THE STUFF OF LIFE? 04:04 NOW ACTUALLY THE NICKNAME IS THE MACHINE HAS BEEN BUILT TO 04:07 DISCOVER - THEY CALL IT THE GOD PARTICLE. 04:10 HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE? THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO TRY 04:13 - 'WE'RE TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWERS OF WHERE EVERYTHING CAME 04:14 FROM.' - THAT'S A BIG INVESTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, NOT ONLY FROM 04:19 UNDER THE GROUND THERE IN GENEVA BUT UP IN THE SKY WITH THE 04:22 INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION - KNOWLEDGE IS INCREASED 04:25 JUST IN IN ONE LIFETIME. I SHOULD ACTUALLY SAY IN ABOUT A 04:29 CENTURY - YOU LOOK AT JUST SOME OF THE CHANGES - INCREDIBLE 04:32 INVENTIONS - AUTOMOBILES, AIRPLANES, RADIO, TELEVISION, 04:35 SMARTPHONE, COMPUTERS. A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY, 04:40 THEY CAN'T IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT A SMARTPHONE. 04:45 AND YOU KNOW IT'S - I GET - KAREN AND I GOT A RENTAL CAR AND 04:49 IT WAS A FAIRLY NEW ONE - WE GOT LUCKY - GOT A LOW MILEAGE RENTAL 04:51 CAR AND I'VE NEARLY WRECKED IT THREE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT 04:54 HOW TO RUN THE THING. (LAUGHTER) I SAT IN THE CAR WHEN 04:57 WE GOT THERE AND I SAT THERE AND SAID, 'OH, THIS IS GREAT, LOW 05:00 MILEAGE', YOU KNOW, AND I FIGURED OUT, FINALLY, YOU DON'T 05:03 HAVE TO USE A KEY, YOU JUST PRESS THE BUTTON BECAUSE IT 05:04 KNOWS THE KEY'S IN MY POCKET - I KEEP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT 05:06 WHERE DO I PUT THE KEY? I'M ONE OF THESE OLD PEOPLE, 05:08 I WANT TO PUT THE KEY IN SOMEWHERE. 05:09 AND I KEEP TAKING THE KEY OUT WHEN I WALK UP TO THE CAR, BUT 05:12 IT DOESN'T NEED THE KEY, IT JUST OPENS BY ITSELF AND I SAID, 'OH, 05:15 WHAT A WASTE OF ENERGY.' I HAD TO FIND IT. 05:17 AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SHIFT THE THING. 05:19 I'M LOOKING AT ALL THIS AND FINALLY KAREN REACHES OVER - SHE 05:21 TURNS A KNOB. IS THAT LIKE A VOLUME - YOU 05:24 SHIFT GEARS WITH A VOLUME BUTTON. 05:26 I'M A MAN, I WANT TO GRAB SOMETHING AND HEAR IT CLUNK, YOU 05:29 KNOW? WHEN - IT JUST - YOU TURN A LITTLE KNOB. 05:33 SO IT BOTHERS ME. JUST THINGS HAVE CHANGED. 05:38 CAN YOU IMAGINE TRYING TO EXPLAIN A SMARTPHONE TO THE 05:40 APOSTLE PAUL? (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) HE WOULD 05:43 THINK YOU'RE DEMON POSSESSED. (LAUGHTER) PAUL WOULD SAY, 05:47 'LOOK, LET ME FIND THAT IN MY SCROLLS.' SAY, 'NO PROBLEM, 05:49 PAUL, I'LL GOOGLE IT.' 'WHAT?' CAN'T YOU JUST SEE IT? 05:53 THINGS HAVE CHANGED. AND ANOTHER ONE FOR ME THAT I 05:57 THINK IS A TREMENDOUS EVIDENCE OF THE NEARNESS OF CHRIST COMING 06:01 IS GLOBAL EVANGELIZATION. MATTHEW 24, VERSE 14 - THIS, TO 06:08 ME, I THINK, IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL PROPHECIES THAT REALLY 06:10 MAKES ME BELIEVE WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS. 06:12 JESUS SAID, EXTREMELY CLEARLY, "THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL 06:18 BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS." 06:23 AND THEN HE SAID, "THEN THE END WILL COME." 06:26 HE DIDN'T SAY IT MIGHT COME, OR IT COULD COME OR IT MAY COME. 06:29 HE SAID, VERY EMPHATICALLY, THE END WILL COME. 06:33 HE DID NOT SAY THE GOSPEL'LL BE PREACHED THERE WILL BE A GREAT 06:36 GLOBAL REVIVAL AND EVERYBODY WILL BELIEVE; HE SAID 'FOR A 06:40 WITNESS.' GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY. 06:42 AND THEN WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT OPPORTUNITY IS UP TO THEM. 06:44 BUT THE END WILL COME. WELL IS THE GOSPEL 06:48 GOING IN ALL THE WORLD? JUST THIS LAST TWO DAYS WE'VE 06:51 HAD AN INVITATION TO RETURN TO CHINA. 06:53 AMAZING FACTS WAS VERY BLESSED. WE WERE ONE OF - IF NOT THE 06:58 FIRST - CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION IN OVER 50 YEARS INVITED TO 07:02 PREACH PUBLICLY A WHOLE SERIES OF MEETINGS THAT WAS BROADCAST 07:05 ON TELEVISION IN CHINA. (CLAPPING) AND THAT WAS SUCH A 07:09 THRILL AND THEN THE NEAT THING IS THEY MADE COPIES OF THAT AND 07:14 THEY CONTINUE TO MULTIPLY THAT. I JUST GOT A CALL FROM OUR 07:17 HEADQUARTERS THERE AND THEY SAID, 'CAN YOU COME BACK? 07:20 AND SO, THE GOSPEL - AND IT'S - IT'S NOW ON SATELLITE. 07:25 KAREN AND I ARE GOING NEXT MONTH TO NEW GUINEA AND THEY TELL US 07:28 THERE'LL BE - ABOUT 100,000 PEOPLE AT THIS ONE MEETING THAT 07:33 WE'RE GOING TO IN NEW GUINEA. WE'RE GOING TO BE IN AUSTRALIA. 07:36 AND I'M JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS OF MISSIONARIES THAT ARE OUT THERE 07:39 DOING IT. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE DOING IT - 07:40 JESUS SAID THE GOSPEL WOULD GO TO THE WORLD - IT'S 07:42 GOING THE MIDDLE EAST. AMAZING FACTS GETS E-MAIL FROM 07:45 ALL THESE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE. 07:49 AND SO, PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING AND THE GOSPEL IS GOING AND 07:52 MISSIONARIES ARE GOING. AND JESUS SAID, 'THEN THE END 07:55 WILL COME.' AND SO WE'RE SEEING, I THINK, THE FULFILLMENT 07:58 OF THAT IN THIS GENERATION. NOW I NEED TO PAUSE AT THIS 08:02 POINT AND DELVE INTO A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR STUDY. 08:06 I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SIGNS OF CHRIST'S COMING. 08:09 NOW I WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING. 08:11 ABOUT WHAT? >>HOW. 08:12 >>HOW HE'S COMING - BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT 08:16 HOW. NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A 08:17 LOT OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT MISUNDERSTOOD HOW HE'S COMING. 08:20 DID THE APOSTLES MISUNDERSTAND HOW THE MESSIAH WAS COMING THE 08:24 FIRST TIME? THEY'LL BE IN HEAVEN. 08:27 BUT THEY HAD THE SCRIPTURES WRONG. 08:28 THEY THOUGHT WHEN THE MESSIAH CAME HE WAS GOING TO COME ON A 08:31 WHITE HORSE LIKE KING DAVID HE WAS GOING TO DESTROY ALL OF THE 08:34 ROMANS LIKE SAMSON OR SOMETHING. AND THEY WERE GOING TO BE A 08:37 WORLD EMPIRE LIKE SOLOMON - AND THEY JUST HAD ALL THESE GREAT, 08:40 GLORIOUS IDEAS ABOUT WHEN THE MESSIAH COMES AND JESUS SAID 08:43 'NO, NO, NO.' THAT'S WHEN I COME THE SECOND TIME - FIRST TIME I'M 08:46 COMING LIKE A LAMB, SECOND TIME I COME LIKE A LION.' 08:49 WELL, THE DEVIL'S DOING THE SAME THING TO THE CHURCH TODAY. 08:52 LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED ABOUT HOW HE'S COMING SO THEY 08:55 WON'T BE PREPARED TO RECEIVE HIM. 08:58 A LOT OF CHRIST'S PEOPLE - THE JEWS - DID NOT RECEIVE HIM WHEN 09:01 HE CAME THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE THEY SAID, 'NAZARETH? 09:05 WHO? THERE'S NO PROPHET IN NAZARETH. 09:07 AND A POOR CARPENTER. HOW CAN THIS - CAN'T BE HIM.' 09:10 THEY MISUNDERSTOOD THAT HE WAS COMING FIRST AS A SACRIFICE. 09:14 WELL NOW THERE'S A LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS. 09:16 THERE ARE PRINCIPALLY THREE VIEWS. 09:19 WHEN YOU READ REVELATION THERE'S ONE GROUP THAT'S - THEY'RE 09:22 CALLED PRETERISTS AND JUST THINK OF THE WORD PRE. 09:26 THEY BELIEVE THAT ALL OF REVELATION WAS PRETTY MUCH 09:29 FULFILLED BY 100 A.D.. THEY THINK NERO IS THE ANTICHRIST AND 09:32 THAT IT'S ALL BEHIND US - GOOD PEOPLE. 09:35 I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE. THEN YOU HAVE FUTURISTS. 09:39 FUTURISTS ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE POPULARIZED THE VERSION - THE 09:43 LEFT BEHIND SCENARIO WHERE MOST OF REVELATION CHAPTER 4 - WHEN 09:47 JOHN SAYS 'I HEARD A VOICE AND A TRUMPET' - THAT'S ALL FUTURE. 09:52 THEN YOU HAVE, WHERE I FALL IN, WHAT THEY CALL HISTORISTS. 09:56 AND I AM IN THE COMPANY - THIS IS - USED TO BE THE OLD VIEW. 10:00 IT'S NOT AS POPULAR AS IT USED TO BE BUT IT'S WHAT THE 10:02 PROTESTANT REFORMERS BELIEVE IT MEANS REVELATION IS COVERING A 10:06 PANORAMA OF HISTORY, FROM THE FIRST COMING TO THE SECOND 10:10 COMING, AND YOU CAN KIND OF TRACK THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH 10:13 AND GOD'S PEOPLE ACROSS THAT HORIZON. 10:16 AND SO I'LL JUST TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT YOU'VE GOT THE TWO MAIN 10:20 VIEWS ARE THE FUTURIST VIEW - THERE'S NOT AS MANY PRETERISTS - 10:23 AND THE HISTORIC VIEW. THE FUTURIST VIEW IS 10:26 A FAIRLY NEW VIEW. IT WAS REALLY POPULARIZED BY HAL 10:30 LINDSEY'S BOOK - I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A BOOK 10:32 CALLED THE LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH. 10:34 AND IN THAT BOOK HE PREDICTED THAT, BECAUSE ISRAEL WAS 10:36 ESTABLISHED AS A NATION IN 1948, IN 1981 THE SECRET RAPTURE WILL 10:41 TAKE PLACE; IN 1988 SEVEN YEARS LATER AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF 10:44 TRIBULATION JESUS WILL COME. AND NONE OF IT HAPPENED. 10:48 AND HE'S STILL SELLING BOOKS. BUT IT BECAME VERY POPULAR THEN. 10:55 I AM WITH THE GROUP THAT BELIEVES THAT THE TRIBULATION 10:59 COMES BEFORE JESUS COMES. THE OTHER GROUP BELIEVES THAT 11:04 WE ARE CAUGHT UP BEFORE THE TRIBULATION. 11:06 I'D LOVE TO BELIEVE THAT BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THE 11:09 BIBLE TEACHES. AND WE WANT TO KNOW - AND I'M 11:12 GOING TO GIVE YOU BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE HERE. 11:14 IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME THEN WE CAN STILL LOVE AND RESPECT EACH 11:16 OTHER, BUT YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO AT LEAST UNDERSTAND 11:19 YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT MAY BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY, AMEN? 11:23 WE CAN DISAGREE AND STILL BE AGREEABLE, RIGHT? 11:26 WILL JESUS COME QUIETLY? LET'S LOOK AT WHAT 11:28 THE BIBLE SAYS. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16, "FOR THE 11:32 LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT WITH THE 11:35 VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL AND THE TRUMP OF GOD. 11:38 AND THEN" - IT TELLS US - "THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE." 11:40 A TRUMP. YOU READ IN JEREMIAH 25:30 - IT 11:44 TELLS US, "THE LORD WILL ROAR FROM ON HIGH. 11:48 HE WILL UTTER HIS VOICE FROM HIS HOLY HABITATION. 11:51 HE WILL MIGHTILY ROAR UPON HIS HABITATION. 11:54 HE WILL GIVE A SHOUT." JESUS' COMING IS 11:57 A VERY LOUD EVENT. YOU READ IN PSALM 50 - IF THIS 12:00 WAS THE ONLY ONE IT WOULD BE PRETTY CONVINCING - IT SAYS 12:03 THERE, "OUR GOD SHALL COME AND HE WILL NOT KEEP SILENT AND IT 12:08 WILL BE VERY TEMPESTUOUS" - STORMY - "ROUND ABOUT HIM." 12:11 IT'S A GREAT CLIMATIC EVENT. AND SOMEONE MIGHT BE THINKING, 12:15 'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF. 12:19 DOESN'T THAT MEAN HE'S COMING QUIETLY?' 12:21 I DON'T THINK SO. YOU CAN READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE 12:24 IT SAYS IN 2 PETER CHAPTER 3 IT SAYS, "THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL 12:28 COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT IN WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS 12:31 AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE" - WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DAY THAT 12:33 HE COMES LIKE A THIEF? NOTICE, "HEAVENS PASS AWAY WITH 12:36 GREAT NOISE" - THERE'S A NOISE AGAIN - "AND THE ELEMENTS 12:39 WILL MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT. AND THE EARTH AND THE WORKS THAT 12:43 ARE IN IT WILL BE BURNED UP." SO, WHEN JESUS COMES S A THIEF, 12:47 DOES IT SOUND TO YOU LIKE LIFE GOES ON HERE ON EARTH? 12:52 HE'S COMING LIKE A THIEF. THAT JUST MEANS IT'S A SURPRISE. 12:55 NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TO TELL YOU, BUT I'VE NOT ALWAYS 12:57 BEEN A CHRISTIAN. I USED TO BE A THIEF. 12:59 I WOULD BREAK INTO HOUSES AND STEAL - RIGHT HERE IN FLORIDA, 13:03 ACTUALLY, BECAUSE I USED TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA. 13:05 NOT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SO I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING. 13:07 (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) BUT I NEVER SENT OUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND 13:11 SAID 'I'LL BE COMING JUST ONE TO LET YOU KNOW.' 13:13 IT WAS A SURPRISE. SO THAT'S WHAT JESUS IS SAYING 13:16 IT'S GOING TO SURPRISE PEOPLE - BUT WHEN HE COMES. 13:19 THEY'RE GOING TO KNOW. >>I READ ONE TIME ABOUT A PASTOR 13:23 THAT DID SOME RESEARCH AND HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THERE 13:26 ARE OVER 300 REFERENCES TO THE SECOND COMING OF 13:29 JESUS IN THE BIBLE. OBVIOUSLY IF THE RETURN OF 13:32 CHRIST IS SUCH A PRIORITY WITH GOD, IT SHOULD BE 13:35 AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS. WE NEED TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS 13:38 COMING, THAT HE'S COMING SOON, AND SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S 13:42 COMING, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL IS GOING TO ATTEMPT 13:45 TO IMPERSONATE CHRIST'S RETURN. WE NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. 13:49 THAT'S WHY WE'VE PREPARED THIS SPECIAL STUDY GUIDE FOR YOU 13:52 CALLED THE ULTIMATE DELIVERANCE. IF YOU'D LIKE A COPY OF THIS 13:55 FREE STUDY GUIDE, JUST GO TO THE WEB ADDRESS ON YOUR SCREEN. 13:59 IT'S AMAZINGFACTS.ORG OR CALL THE PHONE NUMBER AND ASK FOR 14:03 OFFER #105. I CAN PROMISE YOU, YOU'LL 14:07 NEVER BE THE SAME AND YOU WILL BE ENCOURAGED AND 14:09 COMFORTED BY THIS STUDY. AND THAT'S WHY WE DO WHAT 14:12 WE DO HERE AT AMAZING FACTS. BECAUSE GOD'S MESSAGE 14:15 IS OUR MISSION. >>NOW WHO IS GOING TO SEE 14:18 CHRIST WHEN HE RETURNS? IS IT ONLY A SELECT GROUP THAT 14:22 DISAPPEARS AND - LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS. 14:25 I CAN GIVE YOU SEVERAL VERSES HERE - MATTHEW 24:30, "AND THEN 14:29 SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN AND THEN SHALL 14:33 ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN AND THEY SHALL SEE THE SON 14:37 OF MAN COMING IN THE IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER AND 14:40 GREAT GLORY" - THEY'RE GOING TO SEE HIM COMING - GREAT POWER - 14:43 GREAT GLORY - MEANS BRILLIANT SPLENDOR. 14:46 AND AGAIN, REVELATION 1:7. BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH THE CLOUDS 14:50 AND EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM. WHO WILL BE WITH 14:53 JESUS WHEN HE COMES? HE'S NOT COMING ALONE. 14:58 THE BIBLE SAYS THE SON OF MAN WILL COME IN HIS GLORY - THAT'S 15:01 THAT SPLENDOR - AND HOW MANY? >>ALL 15:04 >>ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM. WELL HOW MANY ANGELS ARE THERE? 15:10 LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE. 15:14 MOST OF US HAVE A GUARDIAN ANGEL. 15:16 BIBLE SAYS JESUS SAID, SPEAKING OF CHILDREN, THEIR ANGELS DO 15:20 BEHOLD THE FACE OF MY FATHER' - IMPLYING THAT THEY'VE GOT AN 15:22 ANGEL WATCHING THEM. SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE IN THE 15:26 WORLD - GOD'S ANGELS NOT ONLY WATCH OVER PEOPLE, 15:30 THEY'RE DOING HIS WORK. THEY'RE THE MINISTERING SPIRITS. 15:32 THEY'RE THE ARMY OF GOD - THEY'RE CALLED THE HEAVENLY HOST 15:34 - VERY REAL CREATURES WITH INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY - 15:38 BILLIONS OF THEM. NOW ONE ANGEL CAME DOWN FROM 15:42 GOD, YOU READ IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, IN THE DAYS OF KING 15:45 HEZEKEIAH - THE ANGEL OF THE LORD WENT THROUGH THE ARMY OF 15:47 SYRIA - ONE ANGEL KILLED 185,000 ENEMY SOLDIERS IN ONE DAY. 15:53 THE ANGELS THAT WERE GUARDING THE TOMB OF JESUS - I'M SORRY - 15:57 WHEN THE ANGELS CAME TO THE TOMB OF JESUS AT THE RESURRECTION, 16:01 THE ROMAN SOLDIERS THAT WERE GUARDING THE TOMB WERE SO 16:03 FRIGHTENED BY THE GLORY OF THAT ANGEL THAT CAME DOWN AND ROLLED 16:06 AWAY THE STONE, THEY FELL OVER AS THOUGH THEY WERE DEAD. 16:08 ONE ANGEL. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE HEAVEN BEING 16:11 FILLED WITH THE BRILLIANCE OF BILLIONS OF ANGELS? 16:17 HE DIDN'T SAY WE'RE LEAVING ANY OF 'EM BEHIND. 16:18 HE SAID ALL THE ANGELS. ALL THE ANGELS HAVE BEEN 16:22 INVOLVED IN OUR SALVATION. THEY ARE GOING TO BE VERY 16:24 INTERESTED IN US BEING REDEEMED AND YOU'LL SEE, THEY PLAY A PART 16:28 IN OUR BEING COLLECTED, SO TO SPEAK. 16:31 WHAT WILL THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE GLORY OF LORD'S COMING AND ALL 16:35 THESE ANGELS DO TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT READY? 16:38 "WHEN JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY 16:42 ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING VENGEANCE ON THEM THAT KNOW NOT 16:48 GOD." AND, AGAIN, THAT WAS 2 16:50 THESSALONIANS, CHAPTER 1, VERSES 7 AND 8. 16:53 YOU CAN READ IN 2 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 8, "AND THEN 16:57 SHALL THAT WICKED ONE BE REVEALED WHOM THE LORD WILL 17:00 CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY WITH THE 17:04 BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING." THE WICKED ONE'S DESTROYED BY 17:08 THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WHEN YOU'RE 17:11 OUT THE FIELD ON A NICE SUNNY DAY AND YOU JUST CURIOUS, YOU 17:13 PICK UP A STONE, YOU TURN AND YOU SEE ALL THESE CRAWLY THINGS 17:16 START RUNNING FOR THE DARK. AND AT NIGHT YOU CAN LIGHT 17:21 SOMETHING OUT THE WOODS AND ALL OF THE MOTHS COME TO THE LIGHT. 17:25 YOU'VE GOT TWO KINDS OF BUGS OUT THERE. 17:27 YOU'VE GOT BUGS LIKE COCKROACHES THAT RUN FROM THE LIGHT, AND 17:30 YOU'VE GOT MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES THAT LOVE THE LIGHT. 17:33 AND THAT'S THE KIND OF PEOPLE YOU GOT WHEN JESUS COMES. 17:36 YOU'VE GOT YOUR COCKROACHES AND YOUR BUTTERFLIES. 17:38 (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) SO THOSE THAT ARE - IT'S REALLY - IF YOU DON'T 17:43 HAVE THE LORD IN YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE TERRIFIED BY HIS 17:47 COMING. BUT IF YOU LOVE THE LORD, THE 17:48 BIBLE CALLS HIS COMING THE BLESSED HOPE. 17:51 >>AMEN. >>BUT HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING A 17:52 LIFE OF SELFISHNESS AND SIN, IT'S GOING TO FRIGHTEN 17:55 YOU AND IT SHOULD. GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE, 17:57 BUT HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE PEACE IF YOU'RE ON YOUR 18:00 WAY TO DESTRUCTION. HE WANTS YOU TO BE TROUBLED 18:02 UNTIL YOU REPENT AND COME TO HIM. 18:05 THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING WILL DESTROY THEM. 18:07 SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD AT JESUS' COMING? 18:12 FIRST WE'LL START WITH THE RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD. 18:14 YOU READ THERE THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. 18:17 THAT'S WHERE WE READ IN 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 4 "THE 18:20 LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT;" - THE 18:22 VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, THE TRUMPET OF GOD. 18:25 SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT IS THE LOUDEST VERSE IN THE BIBLE AND 18:29 THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST. SO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE 18:32 A SECRET STILL? AT THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS TO 18:36 THE LIVING WHO ARE - WHEN THE LORD COMES? 18:39 THE LIVING AND THE RESURRECTED SAINTS, I SHOULD SAY. 18:42 SO YOU GET THE DEAD IN CHRIST THEY RISE. 18:44 SOME OF US WE HOPE TO BE ALIVE WHEN JESUS COMES - I'D LIKE TO 18:47 IF I CAN, AVOID DEATH. WOODY ALLEN SAID ONE TIME, 18:51 'I'M NOT AFRAID OF DEATH. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE THERE 18:53 WHEN IT HAPPENS.' (LAUGHTER) SO MOST OF US ARE PREWIRED BY GOD 18:59 THAT WE'D LIKE TO STAY ALIVE RIGHT? 19:01 SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE? 19:03 IT SAYS THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE AND THOSE 19:06 OF US WHO ARE ALIVE WILL BE CHANGED IN A MOMENT. 19:10 IT TELLS US THIS CORRUPTIBLE WILL PUT ON INCORRUPTION - 19:13 CORRUPTIBLE MEANS OUR BODIES - WE, YOU KNOW, GET OLD, THEY 19:15 DECAY, THEY DIE. WE'RE GOING TO GET THESE 19:18 GLORIFIED BODIES - LIKE THE KIND ADAM AND EVE HAD BEFORE SIN 19:22 - BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT OUT. 'THIS CORRUPTIBLE WILL PUT ON 19:26 INCORRUPTION AND THIS MORTAL WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY. 19:29 THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN WILL BE CAUGHT UP 19:32 TOGETHER.' WHAT DIRECTION DO WE GO? 19:33 >>UP. >>THAT'S WHEN IT'S 19:35 TALKING ABOUT THE RAPTURE. WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP, OR 19:37 RAPTURED UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS. 19:41 WE MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. SO JESUS' FEET DON'T TOUCH THE 19:44 GROUND WHEN HE COMES NEXT TIME, WE MEET HIM. 19:47 AND CHRIST SAID THIS IS HOW IT WOULD HAPPEN. 19:48 HE SAID, 'I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU AND IF I GO AND 19:51 PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO 19:55 MYSELF - THAT'S WHEN WE'RE CAUGHT UP - 'THAT WHERE I AM' - 19:57 HE TAKES US WHERE? BACK TO HEAVEN - 'YOU 19:59 MAY BE ALSO' - RIGHT? WE'VE READ WHERE IT SAYS THE 20:02 LORD'S COMING IS LITERAL, PERSONAL, VISIBLE, AUDIBLE, 20:06 PHYSICAL, VITALITY - VITALIZING, GLORIOUS, CLIMATIC - 20:11 THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE. EVERY SENSE IN YOUR BEING 20:14 WILL KNOW WHEN JESUS COMES. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TEXT SOMEONE 20:16 AND SAY, 'DID YOU CATCH IT?' 'CATCH WHAT?' 20:18 'JESUS CAME WITH ALL THE ANGELS YESTERDAY DID YOU?' 20:20 - 'I MISSED IT. I DID NOTICE SOME PLANES GOING 20:23 DOWN AND CARS CAREENING OFF THE ROAD, BUT - THERE WAS A CLUMP OF 20:26 CLOTHES IN THE BED NEXT TO ME WHEN I WOKE UP. 20:29 I THINK IT WAS MY SPOUSE BUT THEY'RE GONE NOW.' YEAH, I KNOW 20:33 I'M TEASING MAYBE. I DON'T MEAN TO BE UNKIND BUT, 20:35 TO ME, I ACTUALLY KNOW PEOPLE WHO THINK 'WELL, IF I'M NOT 20:39 READY WHEN JESUS COMES, NO BIG DEAL. 20:42 IF MY SPOUSE - THEY'RE CHRISTIAN, THEY BELIEVE, IF THEY 20:45 DISAPPEAR THEN I'LL GET SERIOUS. I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE 20:48 TRIBULATION BUT THEN I'LL KNOW IT'S TRUE. 20:50 AND YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE THINKING 20:53 THEY'RE GOING TO GET A SECOND CHANCE. 20:55 THAT'S WHY IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO NOT UNDERSTAND THE HOW 21:00 OF HIS COMING. ANOTHER REASON WAS BECAUSE 21:03 THE DEVILS GOT A LOT OF IMPERSONATORS OUT THERE. 21:07 WHAT SOLEMN WARNING DOES JESUS GIVE ABOUT THE SECOND COMING? 21:10 AS YOU START READING MATTHEW 11 - FIRST THING HE TOLD - I'M 21:14 SORRY - MATTHEW CHAPTER 24. FIRST THING HE SAYS IS BE AWARE 21:18 THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU. HE REPEATS IT OVER AND OVER. 21:21 'MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME SAYING I AM CHRIST AND DECEIVE 21:25 MANY.' AND I REMEMBER BAPTIZING A YOUNG LADY THAT WAS IN 21:29 JONESTOWN WITH JIM JONES. SHE ESCAPED JUST BEFORE THINGS 21:33 ALL WENT SIDEWAYS THERE AND TOLD HORRIBLE STORIES. 21:37 HE STARTED OUT METHODIST PREACHER - GOOD CHURCH - 21:40 PREACHING FROM THE BIBLE AND JUST - BUT HE WAS A FALSE 21:43 PROPHET. SEE, HE SAID, ULTIMATELY, HE WAS CHRIST. 21:48 JESUS SAID THERE WILL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS. 21:51 THEY WILL SHOW SIGNS AND WONDERS. 21:53 ARE MIRACLE, SIGNS, AND WONDERS THE EVIDENCE OF WHO IS REAL AND 21:55 WHO'S NOT? CAN THE DEVIL DO MIRACLES? 21:57 >>YES. >>HE CAN. 21:59 WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. AND THEY'LL DO THIS TO DECEIVE, 22:02 IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, THE VERY ELECT. 22:03 IN OTHER WORDS, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BECAUSE THE 22:06 DEVIL'S GOING TO HAVE POWERFUL DECEPTIONS IN THE LAST DAYS. 22:09 SOME OF US REMEMBER THE HEAVEN'S GATE GROUP. 22:11 MARSHALL APPLEWHITE - 39 PEOPLE BELIEVED THIS POOR DERANGED MAN 22:16 WHO SAID THAT HE WAS A REINCARNATION OF CHRIST AND THEY 22:20 NEEDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE SO THEY COULD GET ON A SPACESHIP THAT 22:23 WAS BEHIND THE HALE-BOTT COMET - HALE-BOTT COMET - AND THEY TOOK 22:29 THIS DEADLY COCKTAIL. 39 PEOPLE COMMITTED SUICIDE. 22:33 AND HE SAID GOD WAS SENDING MESSAGES THROUGH STAR TREK. 22:37 THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A GOD SENDING MESSAGES, BUT IT WASN'T 22:39 JESUS. WHAT'S GOING TO PREVENT THE 22:42 RIGHTEOUS FROM BEING DECEIVED IN THE LAST DAYS? 22:45 ISAIAH 8:20 - THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO KNOW YOUR BIBLES. 22:48 I HOPE YOU CHECK ON EVERYTHING I'M SAYING. 22:50 YOU CAN TAKE NOTES. THE BIBLE SAYS, 'TO THE 22:52 LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY. THAT'S HOW THE BIBLE REFERS TO 22:54 THE BIBLE - THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS - 'IF THEY SPEAK NOT 22:57 ACCORDING TO THIS WORD IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIGHT IN 23:00 THEM.' YOU MEASURE EVERYTHING BY THE SCRIPTURES YOU NEED TO KNOW. 23:04 JESUS SAID, 'SEEK AND YOU'LL FIND.' AMEN? 23:07 WHAT WILL THE WICKED SAY WHEN JESUS RETURNS? 23:10 'AND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND THE GREAT MEN AND THE RICH MEN 23:14 IN THE CHIEF CAPTAINS AND THE MIGHTY MEN AND EVERY BONDMAN AND 23:18 EVERY FREE MAN' - SPEAKING OF THE LOST - 'THEY SAID TO THE 23:21 MOUNTAINS AND TO THE ROCKS, 'FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE 23:24 FACE OF HIM THAT SITS ON THE THRONE. 23:27 FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO 23:30 STAND?'' I TOLD YOU, ONCE AGAIN, TWO 23:32 KINDS OF PEOPLE - YOU'VE GOT THE ONES WHO KNOW CHRIST 23:35 AND HE'S IN THEIR HEART. YOU HAVE THOSE WHO HAVE RESISTED 23:37 HIM AND THEY BECOME HIS ENEMIES. YOU'VE EITHER GOT THE LOVE OF 23:41 GOD OR THE WRATH OF THE LAMB. I WANT HIM TO COME AS MY 23:43 LORD AND MY SAVIOR NOT AS MY ADVERSARY. AMEN? 23:48 WHAT IS THE PRIME REASON FOR JESUS' SECOND COMING? 23:52 IS HE COMING TO GET EVEN WITH THE LOST? 23:54 NO, HE'S COMING TO REDEEM HIS OWN. 23:57 JOHN 14:3, "I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT 24:02 WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE" - WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE. 24:05 REVELATION SAYS GOD, HIMSELF, WILL BE WITH US. 24:08 WE WILL SEE HIS FACE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? 24:12 "NOW WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY BUT THEN FACE TO FACE." 24:16 1 CORINTHIANS 13. WHAT A PRIVILEGE THAT WE 24:19 CAN SEE GOD FACE TO FACE. YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, GOD IS GIVING 24:23 US THE SIGNS ALONG THE WAY AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THERE 24:29 ARE SOME DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD. I BELIEVE THERE'S GOING 24:32 TO BE A TRIBULATION. SEE, I BELIEVE THE 24:34 LORD IS COMING. I BELIEVE WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP, 24:36 BUT I BELIEVE THE TRIBULATION COMES BEFORE THE RAPTURE. 24:39 >>THAT'S RIGHT. >>DOES GOD SAVE HIS PEOPLE 24:41 FROM TROUBLE OR THROUGH IT? >>THROUGH IT. 24:44 DID GOD SAVE NOAH FROM THE FLOOD OR DID HE SAVE HIM THROUGH 24:47 THE STORM? >THROUGH THE STORM. 24:49 >>DID GOD SAVE JOSEPH FROM HIS TRIALS OR THROUGH THEM? 24:52 HOW ABOUT JOB? WAS HE SAVED FROM TRIBULATION 24:55 OR THROUGH TRIBULATION? DOESN'T PAUL SAY 'IT IS THROUGH 24:58 MUCH TRIBULATION WE WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD'? 25:03 GOD IS COMING FOR A CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE OR ANY 25:06 SUCH THINGS. YOU GET OUT THE SPOTS AND THE 25:08 WRINKLE WITH A HOT IRON AND HOT WATER. 25:10 SO THE IDEA THAT THE CHURCH IS NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ANY KIND 25:13 OF PURGING OR PURIFICATION BEFORE THAT - WHEN DOES A CHURCH 25:17 SHINE THE BRIGHTEST, IN THE LIGHT OR IN THE DARKNESS? 25:21 THERE IS GOING TO BE A TIME OF GREAT DARKNESS. 25:23 JESUS SAID IT WAS AT MIDNIGHT THE CRY WAS GIVEN. 25:26 BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMES. AND SO THERE ARE SOME 25:28 DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD. I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. 25:31 YOU KNOW WHY? GOD SAID IF YOU MAKE THE MOST 25:35 HIGH YOUR HABITATION YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID. 25:38 >>AMEN. >>HE HAS GIVEN US SIGNS. 25:41 AND SOME OF CHRISTIANS ARE LOSING HOPE, RIGHT HERE ON THE 25:44 BORDERS OF THE GREATEST EVENT IN HISTORY. 25:47 YOU KNOW, I LOVE HISTORY. I REMEMBER READING ABOUT 25:50 CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS WHEN HE WAS CROSSING THE OCEAN, YOU KNOW, 25:53 AND HE JUST WENT LAUNCHING OUT AND HE SAID, 'WE'RE GOING TO GO 25:55 DISCOVER A NEW PASSAGE.' NONE OF THE EXPLORERS FROM PORTUGAL OR 26:00 SPAIN WENT VERY FAR INTO THE ATLANTIC AS THEY HAD RUMORS 26:02 YOU WERE GOING TO SAIL OFF THE EARTH, THERE WERE DRAGONS OUT 26:04 THERE, AND ALL THESE SCARY STORIES. 26:07 AND HE SAID 'WE'RE JUST GOING TO SAIL WEST UNTIL WE FIND OUR 26:11 OBJECTIVE.' AND, YOU KNOW, AFTER TWO MONTHS IN AUGUST AND 26:15 SEPTEMBER, THOSE SAILORS WERE READY TO MUTINY. 26:18 AND COLUMBUS - YOU - READ HIS DIARY. 26:20 HE PRAYED A LOT. HE BELIEVED HE WAS 26:23 ON A DIVINE QUEST. HE FINALLY TOLD HIS SAILORS, 26:25 GIVE ME THREE MORE DAYS. IF WE DON'T SEE LAND WE'LL TURN 26:28 AROUND.' CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WAS AT STAKE? 26:30 BUT AS THOSE DAYS PASSED THEY BEGAN TO SEE SIGNS - OVERTURNED 26:35 CANOE WENT BY AND THEY SAW COCONUTS FLOAT BY - SOME TUFTS 26:39 OF VEGETATION. WATER BEGAN TO CHANGE COLOR AND 26:42 SALTINESS CHANGED IN THE WATER. THEY NOTICED WHEN THEY WERE 26:45 SOUNDING THAT IT WAS GETTING SHALLOWER. 26:47 THEY - SONGBIRDS CAME BY - THEY COULDN'T SEE LAND BUT THEY SAW 26:51 THE SIGNS THAT THEY WERE NEARING SHORE. 26:54 AND THEY WERE ALL ENCOURAGED BY THE SIGNS TO PRESS ON. 26:57 FINALLY, AT THE END OF THE THIRD DAY, AT NIGHT, THEY SAW A FIRE 27:01 IN THE DISTANCE. NEXT MORNING THEY SPOTTED 27:04 LAND - SAN SALVADOR. WELL, FRIENDS, WE SEE THE SIGNS. 27:08 JESUS IS ABOUT TO COME. I WANT TO BE READY. 27:11 HOW ABOUT YOU? >>AMEN. 27:12 >>LET'S FACE IT, IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING 27:15 YOU READ IN THE BIBLE.
