00:04 We are racing towards the global crisis at the close.
00:09 God is going to set up His kingdom on earth. 00:13 Preparation for the tribulation 00:16 and the translation is to develop 00:18 a character like Jesus Christ to reach every hamlet, 00:22 every village, every man, every child, 00:25 every person in India, every person in South America 00:28 must hear these three angles' messages. 00:34 These are stories that illustrate 00:36 the kind of fabric of character and perseverance 00:39 that we need to go through the tribulation 00:42 just as certainly as they did. 00:44 The Bible makes it very clear 00:45 we are living in an unusual hour, 00:48 the last grains of sand are trickling 00:50 through the hourglass of time 00:52 and the door probation 00:53 is about the swing shot. 01:00 Daniel's Longest End-Time Prophecy. 01:06 It was December 26, 2004, 01:10 the Indian Ocean earthquake registered 9.1 01:15 and it caused the entire planet to vibrate. 01:20 How many remember this earth shaking event? 01:25 It took the coastal populations 01:28 by an overwhelming sudden shocking surprise. 01:33 Waves reached as high as 98 feet high. 01:40 And so the Indian Ocean earthquake 01:43 killed over 230,000 people, 01:47 one of the deadliest natural disasters of recorded history. 01:52 Why are these things happening? 01:55 Some might say they have been happening 01:58 for hundreds and hundreds of years and it's true. 02:01 Natural disasters why? 02:03 That's just because of the revenges of sin. 02:06 But there is something more to it. 02:08 I believe that every time there is a natural disaster 02:11 it punctuates that we are living 02:14 because we see in an increase in them, 02:16 frequency and intensity. 02:18 I believe that cumulative impact 02:21 and the cumulative message 02:23 is that human probation is about to close, 02:28 would you agree its closing time. 02:30 And indeed on February 26, 2010 02:36 a cataclysmic 8.8 earthquake 02:39 shook Chile for three long minutes. 02:42 Perhaps you remember seeing this 02:44 on the evening news seismologist estimate 02:47 that the geophysical impact of this earth quack 02:50 moved slightly the earth's figure axis. 02:54 A whole lot of shaking going on. 02:57 We are talking about extreme weather 03:00 is wreaking havoc and seems to be breaking records. 03:04 Then do you remember seeing this, 03:08 we are here in Missouri not far 03:11 from where this monster moved in. 03:14 This is the deadly monster on the move. 03:19 This is just shortly after the Joplin, Missouri, 03:24 the center of town was mowed down 03:27 by this monster historic tornado. 03:30 It was the deadliest single tornado in America ever. 03:36 And let me tell you something, 03:38 the death toll over 150 are right around there 03:43 and just a couple of days ago when I took my wife 03:46 to the Joplin airport afterwards, 03:49 I took my children and my wife's nephew 03:53 who is helping with the taping 03:54 of these programs preparing them 03:56 for the television, let me tell you something. 03:59 Seeing it up-close really, really, doubles the impact. 04:05 And as we were driving through the decimation 04:09 and the aftermath that was left behind 04:11 in that horrific tornado I couldn't help it-- 04:17 I couldn't resist, I couldn't help 04:19 but rolled down the window and ask a person, 04:23 a pedestrian there who was walking by. 04:26 I said, excuse me, did you go through this tornado? 04:30 She said, yes. 04:31 Her name is Angelica, 18 years of age. 04:35 And I said could you tell us a little bit about it 04:37 and she was so gracious to tell us her story. 04:41 She said that in her house, 04:43 her house was not completely destroyed` 04:47 but the houses all around her were destroyed. 04:51 And she did say that there was one person 04:54 right there in the neighborhood that died, 04:55 thank God, it wasn't more than that. 04:58 But I said, okay. So your house remained? 05:02 She said, my house was made predominantly of rock. 05:06 And I thought wow, that teaches us something 05:09 and I immediately took advantage 05:11 and I said, can you learn a lesson from that, 05:14 Caleb and Jordon. 05:15 I'm gonna agree you got to have a house on the rock. 05:18 Didn't Jesus talk about the winds will blow 05:20 and beat upon the house but its founded upon a rock 05:25 and in this case made of rock. 05:28 But you know, she survived and I praise God for that. 05:31 And then I droved down and-- 05:34 And by the way she saw the storm coming. 05:37 She saw it. 05:38 She saw what it was doing to the trees 05:40 and she went inside just in the nick of time. 05:43 And so many stories have been told 05:45 and so many horrific details revealed 05:48 but let me tell you something I believe that the scriptures, 05:53 Bible prophecy is very honest and very real with us 05:57 that this is telling us several things. 05:59 Number one, time is running out. 06:01 Number two, human probation is about to close. 06:05 Number three, it's not gonna get better 06:08 it's going to get worse. 06:09 Number four, get ready Jesus is coming soon. 06:14 I don't believe, I don't believe 06:17 that God wants us to be taken by surprise. 06:20 I believe according to the Word of God 06:22 there's gonna be earthquakes, famines, disasters, tornado's, 06:26 right up until the coming of the Lord 06:28 and my Bible tells me it will become more intense 06:31 and more frequent as it is illustrated 06:34 by the birth pangs that a woman goes through 06:37 just before she delivers her baby. 06:39 And so listen to me, 2011, a year 06:42 of billion dollar disasters. 06:45 Would you agree a rash of natural disasters 06:48 can cripple the American economy overnight? 06:52 The United States has already seen 06:54 nine weather disasters this year 06:56 that have caused $1 billion or more in damage, 06:59 tying the record set in 2008. 07:02 The total for all the disasters is about $35 billion. 07:05 And I actually I believe I've heard more than that. 07:09 Jeremiah 25:32, 33, "Thus says the Lord of hosts, 07:13 'Behold, disaster shall go forth' 07:16 from nation to nation, 07:17 and a great whirlwind shall be raised up 07:20 from the farthest parts of the earth." 07:22 We are living in the very end of time, 07:25 on the edge of eternity according to the word of God. 07:29 And how does the Bible 07:31 depict the final loving warning messages 07:33 to go around the world before Jesus comes? 07:36 Take your Bible and let's turn to the dynamic, 07:39 prophetic, symbolic Book of Revelation, 07:42 the last book in the New Testament, 07:45 the Book of Revelation. 07:46 We are going to the center, to the heart 07:48 of the Book of Revelation Chapter 14 07:51 where we have spotlighted God's final call, 07:56 God's last message of mercy 07:58 symbolized by three angels depicted 08:02 by the symbolism, by the imagery figuratively 08:05 of three angels doing a fly over planet earth 08:08 and they are yelling out with loud voices 08:11 the final warning messages to earth's inhabitance, 08:15 the earth's last generation 08:18 that it will be alive when Jesus comes. 08:21 How many believe we are living in that generation? 08:23 And so Revelation 14:6, 08:28 "Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, 08:31 having the everlasting gospel 08:33 that gospel of Jesus to preach" 08:35 "to those who dwell on the earth 08:36 to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people" 08:38 that's worldwide in scope 08:40 and the Bible says saying with the loud voice. 08:43 So its worldwide, it's urgent, 08:45 it's the end time, it must be preached, 08:48 it's the gospel of Jesus Christ, 08:50 it's the last gospel appeal. 08:53 "Saying with a loud voice, 08:54 'Fear God and give glory to Him, 08:56 for the hour of His judgment has come" 09:00 the hour of His judgment has come 09:02 and the Bible says 09:03 "and worship Him who made heaven and earth, 09:06 the sea and springs of water.' 09:09 And another angel followed, saying, 09:11 'Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, 09:14 because she has made all nations drink of the wine 09:16 of the wrath of her fornication.' 09:19 Then a third angel followed them, 09:20 saying with a loud voice, 09:22 'If anyone worships the beast and his image, 09:24 and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 09:28 he himself shall also drink of the wine 09:30 of the wrath of God, 09:31 which is poured out full strength 09:33 into the cup of His indignation. 09:35 He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone 09:38 in the presence of the holy angels 09:40 and in the presence of the Lamb. 09:41 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; 09:45 and they have no rest day or night, 09:47 who worship the beast and his image, 09:49 and whoever receives the mark of his name." 09:52 Here is the patience, the endurance 09:56 we dealt with that last night, the endurance of the saints. 09:59 Here are those who don't give up, 10:01 here are those who persevere, 10:02 here are those who endure unto the end, 10:04 the patience of the saints, 10:06 here are those who keep the Commandments of God 10:09 and the faith of Jesus. 10:10 What did they have to persevere through? 10:13 They had to persevere through the hour of God's judgment. 10:15 They had to persevere through the fall of Babylon. 10:18 They had to persevere 10:19 through resisting the mark of the beast. 10:21 Do you see we are going through the tribulation? 10:24 So these messages constitute preparation 10:27 for the tribulation and the tribulation 10:30 is purification for our glorification 10:33 which is the graduation. 10:36 You got that right? 10:38 Now watch this, verses 6 and 7 10:42 spotlight the fact that in the last days 10:46 of earth's history just before Jesus comes 10:49 there will be clarion call from heaven's throne room 10:52 to grip people's attention 10:54 during a preoccupied generation. 10:57 I mean, we are entertained to death. 11:00 We are in love with pursuits of pleasure. 11:02 We even in our leisure we stay busy 11:05 with trivial pursuit. 11:06 Meanwhile we are living, 11:08 the Bible says in the hour of God's judgment. 11:11 What is that translate into? 11:13 How does that impact us in our family, in our-- 11:16 In the way we view our world view 11:19 and in the way review time and so forth. 11:21 We are living in an very unusual hour. 11:24 The last grains of sand are trickling 11:26 through the hour of glass, I've said it before. 11:29 Listen carefully, my Bible tells me 11:32 that before Jesus comes the gospel 11:34 must span the globe first. 11:38 And it's the last part of the gospel, 11:41 the last day end time message 11:44 is we are living a declaration and announcement 11:48 that is startling in the extreme. 11:50 We are living in the hour, 11:52 the time, prophetic time of God's judgment. 11:56 "You will arise and have mercy on Zion, 11:59 for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come." 12:06 That's Psalms 102:13. 12:07 I believe we are living in prophetic time. 12:10 I believe we are living in judgment time. 12:12 I believe we are living in probation, 12:14 the final probationary time. 12:16 I believe we are living in a very unusual time. 12:19 Certainly this is the set time God wants to show His favor 12:23 upon His people by helping them to prepare 12:26 for the crisis at the close 12:28 and be ready in the Christian do of prophecy 12:31 when Jesus comes again 12:32 to emancipate His people from a cool planet. 12:36 And so I want you notice here the Bible makes it very clear, 12:40 what does it mean everlasting gospel? 12:43 Well, the gospel of Jesus Christ passed, 12:46 He created us. 12:48 Passed, He redeemed us supply His blood on the cross. 12:51 Present, He intercedes for us. Present, He judges for us. 12:55 Future, He is coming again for us. 12:57 How many wants the whole gospel and nothing but the gospel? 12:59 The whole gospel? Not a half gospel. 13:02 Not a diluted gospel, not a diminished gospel, 13:05 not a pop gospel, not a political gospel 13:10 but the everlasting gospel that is the past, 13:13 present and future good news of what Jesus has done, 13:17 is doing and will do for you. 13:19 He's got to cover. Amen. 13:21 And so listen, how many are thankful 13:22 for all the work that Jesus does for us? 13:25 The Bible say, "He works in you both to will 13:29 and to do of His good pleasure," 13:31 Philippians 2:13. 13:33 I wonder how many are, keeping Him working overtime? 13:36 Aren't you thankful the Lord never slumbers nor sleeps, 13:39 Psalms 121, He is always working for us. 13:42 Right now He is pleading His blood 13:44 in the heavenly sanctuary by the mercy seas 13:46 in the most holy place, in the heavenly sanctuary, 13:49 the heavenly temple He is pleading His name, 13:53 His merits, His character, 13:54 His perfection, His blood in your behalf. 13:57 Are you thankful? 13:58 Hebrews 9:24 says 14:01 that Jesus is in the presence of God for us. 14:05 "And if God be for us, who can be against us?" 14:09 Romans 8:31-39, they are so-- 14:14 The gospel leads us to keep our eyes on Jesus alone. 14:17 It keeps our eyes on Jesus 14:19 and right now we need to peer through the sky by faith. 14:23 Would you agree we walk by faith 14:25 that is what you don't see? 14:27 "Walk by faith and not by sight," 14:28 2 Corinthians 5:7. 14:30 And Jesus said in the last days Luke 21:28 14:33 in the context of catalogue of Signs of Times 14:36 harbingers of the Lord is coming, 14:38 he said, "Look up for your redemption draws nigh." 14:41 "Looking under Jesus the author 14:43 and finisher of our faith," Hebrews 12:2. 14:45 If you look up and you look to Jesus where is He? 14:49 He is in the most holy place. What is He doing? 14:52 He is engaging His final work as our great high priest. 14:56 Let me tell you right here 14:58 that Jesus is not coming as a priest, 15:02 He is coming as a king. 15:04 Revelation 19 says, He is coming as King of kings 15:08 and Lord of lords. 15:11 But right now the Bible says, He's our great high priest. 15:15 Hebrews 8:1,2 says that, 15:19 He is our minister of the sanctuary in heaven. 15:22 He is our intercessor. 15:24 1 John 2:1 says, 15:26 "He is our advocate with the Father." 15:29 Hebrews 7:25 says, 15:31 "He is able to save us to the utter most seeing 15:34 He ever lives to make intercession for us." 15:39 That's why when I respond emails or send emails out 15:42 I usually sign off "Jesus lives for us." 15:47 You know, we know He died for us 15:49 but you know what, He has not changed His mind. 15:51 He who died for us lives for us. 15:54 Can you say amen? 15:55 How many, come on now, I have children. 15:57 How many innocents, I know you live for God 15:59 but how many live for your children 16:01 and live for your loved ones? 16:02 Amen. That gets you out of bed? 16:05 So Jesus lives for us. 16:08 He still has the scars in His hands 16:10 and He pleads His blood before the Father. 16:13 Hallelujah. 16:15 Jesus said "The Father himself loves you," 16:17 John 16:27. 16:21 And so the Bible makes it very clear, 16:22 He is our great high priest, He is our intercessor 16:25 but watch this He is not coming as our priest. 16:31 What does that mean? 16:33 He is engaged in His final work 16:35 as our great high priest 16:36 in the most holy place and the priest 16:37 when he went into the most holy place on earth 16:40 he was only in there for one day. 16:42 Out of the biblical calendar of 360 days 16:45 he was in there one day. 16:47 He was only in there just a brief time. 16:49 And my Bible tells me 16:51 that Jesus is in the most holy place. 16:53 What does that tell me? We are living in over time. 16:57 We are living in judgment time. 16:59 We are living in the last months. 17:01 Now you think about this, 17:03 that helps me to better understand 17:05 how to interpret the twister that's sweat-- 17:08 That the ploughed through Joplin. 17:12 That helps me to better understand that 17:14 that Indian Ocean earthquake. 17:17 That helps me to better understand 17:19 the, you know, the hurricanes and the fires 17:25 and the hottest temperatures on record 17:27 that have happened just recently. 17:29 You added all up and you put it in the context 17:32 of the hour of God's judgment I'm thoroughly convinced, 17:36 my Lord is not delaying His coming much longer. 17:41 And so the Bible makes it very clear 17:43 that these messages must go around the world 17:46 that we are living in the judgment hour 17:48 that is to say that Jesus is wrapping things up 17:51 in the heavenly sanctuary, He is going to come 17:54 as a King of kings and Lord of lords 17:56 after He has taken off his priestly garments, 18:00 finish the intercession. 18:01 Would you agree when Jesus comes 18:03 as King of kings its too late to confess your sins 18:06 to your priest Jesus Christ? 18:11 When Jesus comes its too late to say, 18:13 you know what, I want to have a change of heart. 18:15 Would you agree now is heart preparation? 18:18 Now is the time of salvation? 18:21 Now is our salvation near than when we first believed? 18:24 The Bible says in Romans Chapter 13, 18:27 it says "knowing the time," 18:30 "knowing the time," that's a quote. 18:32 I love scripture. 18:33 Don't you look at like looking into those words 18:36 and asking what those mean? 18:37 Because you study the words and the Word of God 18:40 you are entering into the mind of God, 18:42 the heart of God. 18:44 You are in the presence of God. 18:45 Why, even the table of showbread 18:47 that illustrates us feasting on the bread of life 18:52 was known as the table of His presence. 18:54 How many agree His presence is in His word? 18:56 "The words that I speak unto you 18:58 they are spirit, and they are life." 19:00 Can you say amen? John 6:63. 19:03 Sudden changes are about to catch the world by surprise. 19:07 Amazing Bible prophecies are fast fulfilling. 19:10 Do ancient prophecies predict the sudden economic collapse? 19:14 Will the Middle East crisis erupt into World War III? 19:17 Are we living on the eve of Armageddon? 19:20 How will the final moves of the antichrist affect you? 19:23 What is the future of the United States of America? 19:27 How will natural disasters usher in the mark of the beast? 19:31 Now you can watch the entire Amazing Prophecy series 19:35 of 32 hopeful messages on DVD. 19:38 Don't guess about the future, know the future. 19:42 The complete set of DVDs is available 19:44 for a gift of $60 or more. 19:47 Call us at 1-855-336-Free or you can send a check 19:52 or money order to Forever Free Ministries, 19:55 2001 Munro Park, Corinth, Texas, 76208. 20:00 You can also visit us online at foreverfreeministries.org. 20:05 We are living in the last moments 20:08 of Christ high priestly intercession. 20:11 He is wrapping things up. 20:13 He is about to take off His priestly garments 20:15 and Paul says in Romans 13, "Knowing the time, 20:19 that now it is high time to awake from our sleep, 20:23 for our salvation is near than when we first believed." 20:27 Romans 13:10, 11 in there. 20:31 And so the Bible makes it very clear 20:33 that Jesus will come like a thief, correct, 20:35 that is time Matthew 24:44 says, 20:38 He will come at a time when most do not expect. 20:43 Now if that's true watch this. 20:46 If Jesus is going to come at a time 20:50 when most do not expect, 20:51 in other words he comes sooner than what they thought. 20:55 Are you listening? 20:57 If He is coming and would you agree 20:59 that is the end, when the curtain falls, 21:03 when Jesus comes in the harvest, 21:05 in the second coming, 21:07 when He comes its like a thief 21:10 in the night in terms of timing. 21:12 Not in terms of matter, it will be literal, 21:14 and global and climactic and cataclysmic. 21:17 The righteous dead will be resurrected, 21:19 will all go to meet the Lord in the air 21:20 and to be home with the Lord. 21:21 Now listen carefully, the Bible makes it very clear 21:25 that that's gonna come suddenly 21:27 and unexpectedly expect for those 21:30 who are born again studying Bible prophecy 21:33 and it keeps them alert and awaken 21:36 and aroused to be ready when the Lord comes. 21:39 So we are not in darkness, would you agree? 21:42 We are not in darkness. 21:43 You open this word and open your heart 21:45 you are not in darkness, you are in the light 21:47 and you walk in the light as children of light. 21:49 Now watch this, if Jesus is going to come 21:53 as a thief in the night 21:55 but prior to Jesus coming probation is going to close. 22:02 Jesus is gonna take off His priestly garments, 22:05 He is going to come as a king 22:07 but before He comes as a king He says, that's it, 22:10 probation is closed and then the plagues fall. 22:16 Because would you agree 22:18 when the fall it's too late to repent, 22:20 that's what the scriptures teach. 22:22 In other words Jesus finishes 22:25 His high priestly intercession and human probation closes 22:32 and then shortly after Jesus comes again. 22:37 Now listen carefully, if Jesus comes unexpectedly 22:42 close of probation will come unexpectedly. 22:46 Now follow along very carefully. 22:49 Follow along very carefully 22:52 what I'm about to share with you. 22:54 Watch this, what is Jesus doing now? 22:57 Paul said in Romans Chapter 2, we go there very quickly, 23:00 Romans 2:16. 23:03 You want to hear the gospel and the end time? 23:05 "In the day when God will judge 23:07 the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, 23:09 according to my gospel." 23:11 So the gospel includes explaining and understanding 23:17 and studying this part of the gospel 23:20 which is Jesus as our judge. 23:23 The Bible teaches judgment 23:26 is going on now before Jesus comes. 23:29 The end time message it must go around the world 23:32 before Jesus comes is the judgment is here. 23:35 Now this is not to be confused 23:37 with the great white throne judgment 23:40 that is in the future when every knee shall bow 23:42 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. 23:45 That's future tense, that's coming 23:49 but what we are living now in is the hour of God's judgment 23:53 when the court in heaven is in session 23:56 and the books are open 23:57 and there is judgment in the house of God. 24:00 Now that is, that is solemn, 24:03 that is a very sobering reality. 24:07 It shouldn't cause us to throw away our hope 24:09 but it should cause us to make sure 24:11 we have a true hope and not a false hope, 24:15 and not assume like Joseph and Mary that Jesus is with us 24:19 when He wasn't with them 24:20 when they forgot Him in Jerusalem 24:23 and it took them three days to find Him. 24:25 Never assume that Jesus is with you. 24:28 Never take Him for granted. 24:31 He wants you to know that He is with you by faith 24:37 and to search your heart and never go by circumstances. 24:41 So listen carefully, we got to keep going. 24:44 What urgent message is to be preached around the world 24:48 before Jesus comes again, 24:50 that we are living in the judgment hour? 24:52 Would agree you must know the gospel truth? 24:55 Amen. 24:57 "Because the truth shall set you free," John 8:32. 25:01 So what does it mean 25:03 the hour of God's judgment has come? 25:06 It means that before He comes 25:09 He is gonna judge who is gonna be saved, 25:11 who is gonna be lost before He comes 25:14 because when He comes He has already determined, 25:17 already decided who is gonna be saved, 25:19 who is gonna be lost. 25:21 When He comes he is not gonna be 25:22 suspended air thinking who do I want to take home. 25:25 Would you agree that's all determined 25:27 before He comes and that is going on now? 25:32 Destinies are being fixed now. 25:36 The dead who have professed faith in Jesus 25:40 they are in the Book of Life, their names are in-- 25:43 They are being scrutinized in the judgment. 25:46 But very soon there in the Book of Life 25:47 that is open now during the hour of God's judgment 25:50 very soon the judgment is gonna pass 25:52 from the righteous dead to the righteous living. 25:56 You see the wicked 25:58 they are not in the Book of Life. 26:01 So the Bible makes that very clear this judgment 26:03 begins in the house of God, 26:06 that's where the judgment begins. 26:08 That's why you cannot view church in the same way. 26:12 And so I you want you notice this, 26:14 what has Jesus decided, determined 26:16 before He comes again. 26:18 Revelation Chapter 22, Revelation 22. 26:21 Are we learning something? 26:22 Notice here Revelation 22:11, 12. 26:29 Notice the sequence. 26:31 Very soon this pronouncement will go forth in heaven. 26:35 This sentence, this verdict will be reached and recorded. 26:40 Notice here in verse 11. 26:42 "He who is unjust," this happens before Jesus comes 26:47 human probation closes 26:49 "He who is unjust let him be unjust still, 26:52 he who is filthy, let him be filthy still, 26:55 he who is righteous, let him be righteous still, 26:58 he who is holy, let him be holy still." 27:00 How many agree there is some 27:01 good news and bad news in there? 27:03 How many would rather be part of the good news, 27:05 the positive side of the coin? 27:08 And behold, after that's decided, 27:11 after those destinies are fixed 27:12 for time in eternity and behold I'm coming quickly. 27:16 So before He comes probation closes. 27:20 Is that crystal clear, yes or no? 27:22 So that is solemn, sobering 27:26 but there is some good news that very soon 27:28 when your name comes up in the judgment 27:31 God will be able to say, 27:32 if you are in Christ trusting in His righteousness 27:35 by simple childlike faith. 27:37 How many are convinced you can't save yourself? 27:39 How many are convinced Jesus will save you? 27:42 All right, so if you believe that 27:44 then at that time it will pronounced 27:46 you are righteous that's the way you are staying. 27:49 You are holy, that's the way you are staying. 27:51 It's not an arbitrary thing. 27:52 It's just that your mind has been made up 27:54 and you been tested and tried 27:56 and its been proven before the universe 27:58 you have given your heart to Jesus Christ 28:00 because on the judgment day many are gonna say, 28:03 Lord, Lord, we prophesied in Your name, 28:05 we preached in Your name, we cast out-- 28:07 I never knew you depart from Me you who work inequity. 28:12 So there is gonna be surprises. 28:13 How many would don't want to be surprised? 28:16 You would rather say search my heart Lord, 28:18 I do not want to be disappointed. 28:22 And you know, I say this for sure 28:26 salvation is not complex 28:30 but having victory is not easy. 28:35 We shall overcome if we learn to trust 28:39 in Jesus to be an overcomer. 28:42 Would you agree its only those who overcome 28:44 that will be saved? 28:45 You can profess Jesus all you want 28:47 but we need to be an overcomer. 28:50 But aren't you glad there is one, 28:51 there is one thing I want to make crystal clear, 28:54 if you fail and you fall that does not mean 28:58 that you don't love the Lord and it does not mean 29:01 that you are not gonna be saved. 29:03 But it does mean when you fail you need to run to Jesus 29:08 and ask for forgiveness and never take it 29:10 for granted by excusing 29:12 and justifying your sins or my sins. 29:15 How many agree you got to race to Jesus 29:17 and say Lord, I'm sorry. 29:19 "And him that cometh to me 29:21 I will in no wise cast out," John 6:37. 29:24 "Beloved, I write to you that you sin not. 29:26 But if any man sin, we have an advocate 29:28 with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous." 29:30 So there is an urgency to overcome sin, 29:33 there is also some mercy when we say, 29:35 and "Beloved, I'm gonna agree 29:37 forget the things that are behind 29:39 and press on to know Jesus Christ," 29:41 Philippians 3:13, 14. 29:43 And so notice here, "Behold, I am coming quickly, 29:47 and My reward is with Me, 29:49 to give to every one according to his work." 29:51 So Jesus is gonna come with His rewards 29:54 which means that He determines 29:56 who gets what rewards before He comes 29:58 because He is coming with His rewards. 30:00 Does that make sense? 30:01 All right, so notice here, 30:03 what does the Bible call that process 30:06 in which Jesus determines 30:08 who will be saved and who will be lost? 30:10 Judgment. Judgment. 30:13 Where it is this judgment take place 30:15 and how does the Bible describe this momentous event? 30:17 Let's go to the Book of Daniel very quickly. 30:20 Daniel, all right, we are gonna learn 30:22 some new things tonight. 30:24 We have done Judgment part I in an previous presentation 30:29 so this is kind of a recap with some new things. 30:32 A Daniel 7:9, the Bible says here, 30:36 Bible says here, 30:38 "I watched till thrones were put in place, 30:40 and the Ancient of Days was seated, 30:42 His garment was white as snow, 30:44 and the hair of His head was like pure wool. 30:46 His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire." 30:50 A movable throne. These are celestial wheels. 30:53 These are majestic wheels. 30:55 The throne move from the holy place 30:57 to the most holy place. 30:59 You see when Jesus ascended on high 31:01 according to Revelation 1, 31:02 he was walking amidst the seven candlesticks. 31:05 Where was that? 31:06 That was in the holy place not the most holy place. 31:09 But then in Revelation Chapter 11 31:11 He is pictured within the temple 31:14 by the most holy place. 31:16 That was in the most holy place, 31:18 the Ark of the Covenant I should say 31:20 there in the most holy place. 31:21 So Jesus relocate, He is always been 31:24 at the right hand of God when He ascended on high 31:26 He's been at the right hand of God. 31:28 Stephen when he is being stoned looked up 31:31 and said I see Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 31:34 Amen. 31:35 Standing at the right hand of God. 31:37 And so the Bible makes that crystal clear 31:39 in Acts Chapter 7 and so notice here 31:41 the Bible says, "His throne was a fiery flame." 31:45 Look here verse 10, "A fiery stream issued 31:47 and came forth from before Him. 31:49 Thousand thousands ministered to Him, 31:51 Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. 31:54 The court was seated, and the books were opened." 31:56 The court is seated where? In heaven. 31:58 Where? In the heavenly temple. 32:01 And the Bible makes it very clear 32:03 the court or the judgment that is convened in heaven 32:07 is an investigative judgment because the books are open. 32:12 What are the books record? 32:15 The names of those who have given their heart to the Lamb. 32:17 It's the Lamb's Book of Life. 32:20 How many have given your heart to the Lamb? 32:22 Amen. And so-- 32:23 And by the way the term Lamb is used 29 times 32:26 in the Book of Revelation. 32:28 So therefore the books are open 32:31 and so what are the names of some of those books 32:34 that are opened in the judgment? 32:36 The Book of Life, the book of remembrance. 32:38 The book of remembrance is a record 32:40 of those who talk about Jesus 32:42 and go to meetings about Jesus and so forth. 32:45 I don't have time to get into that very much. 32:47 But what blessed assurances are given 32:50 to those who trust and obey Jesus? 32:52 What's the blessed assurance that God gives? 32:55 "I was watching and the same horn 32:57 was making war against the saints, 33:00 and prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came, 33:03 and a judgment was made in favor 33:05 of the saints of the Most High, 33:07 and the time came for the saints 33:09 to possess the kingdom," Daniel 7:21 33:11 and the Bible makes it very clear 33:14 that the judgment is in favor of the saints. 33:18 And so the Bible makes that crystal clear. 33:20 Now how can we have confidence to face the judgment? 33:24 Proverbs 28:13 says, "Whoso confesseth 33:28 and forsaketh his sins shall obtain mercy." 33:33 The Bible makes that very clear 33:34 you got to confess and forsake them. 33:36 1 John 4:17, 18 makes it very clear 33:40 that we can have confidence in the judgment 33:42 if we are seeking to be like Jesus. 33:45 That's the only way we can have confidence. 33:48 Can a person's name be blotted out 33:50 or removed from the Book of Life? 33:52 Revelation 22:18, 19 says, 33:54 that if you add to the Book of Revelation 33:58 you add to that you will have the plagues out at you. 34:02 If you take away what's there 34:04 in the Book of Revelation 34:06 and start teaching false teachings 34:07 that God didn't give you 34:09 the Bible says that your name will be 34:11 subtracted from the Book of Life. 34:12 So you can have your name removed from the Book of Life. 34:16 "And the Lord said to Moses, 34:18 'Whoever has sinned against Me, 34:19 I will blot him out of My book," 34:21 Exodus 32:33. 34:23 You name can be blotted out of the Book of Life. 34:27 That's how ominous. 34:28 What parable did Jesus give 34:30 that relates to this judgment going on right now? 34:33 We've looked at this before Matthew 22, 34:36 you remember "But when the king came in 34:38 to see the guests, 34:39 he saw a man there who did not have on a" what? 34:42 "A wedding garment." 34:43 The king viewing them, 34:45 that's the investigative judgment 34:47 at the house of God. 34:49 And those who don't have on Christ righteousness, 34:51 the robe of His righteousness 34:53 are that they don't make the judgment. 34:56 So right now in this judgment 34:58 God is not asking how good you are. 35:01 He is not asking do you know about Him. 35:04 He is asking, are you trusting in His righteousness? 35:07 Are you believing that Jesus accepts you 35:10 just the way you are 35:12 but that He doesn't leave you that way. 35:14 He is changing you and He is helping you 35:17 to become more like Him. 35:18 It's all of His righteousness. 35:20 You and I can't change a sinful heart 35:22 but He does it by His power and His righteousness. 35:26 So in other words God is investigating right now 35:29 who believes that they are accepted 35:31 in the beloved Ephesians 1:6, just the way they are, 35:34 just as I'm without one plea 35:36 but that the blood will shed for me. 35:38 So number one, we must believe God accepts me in Christ 35:42 just the way that I'm, justification. 35:46 But He doesn't leave me there, He tells me like you told 35:49 the woman caught in the act of adultery, 35:51 go and leave your life of sin. 35:53 He said, I don't condemn you just don't go back 35:55 to you living in sin, John 8:10, 11. 36:00 So the Bible makes it very clear 36:01 sanctification is also important. 36:04 So if we say, I know the Lord accepts me 36:07 but I don't want to be like Him. 36:08 Would you agree by our decisions 36:10 we show of we want to be like Him 36:12 and that is all scrutinized in the judgment. 36:15 And so the Bible makes that crystal clear. 36:17 So the wedding garment represents 36:19 the robe of Christ righteousness, 36:20 His perfect character of love. 36:22 According to Revelation 19, the wife makes herself ready 36:25 by putting on the robe of Christ righteousness. 36:27 You must trust in Jesus Christ and His righteousness 36:31 in order to pass the judgment. 36:33 Your works righteousness 36:35 will not cause you to pass the judgment. 36:37 What does that mean? 36:38 If you were trying to do good in your own strength, 36:42 if we are trying through our own self-sufficiency 36:45 to do what's right we will not pass the judgment. 36:48 It's got to be righteousness by faith in Jesus. 36:54 In other words to do the right thing 36:56 out of the right motive and the right power, 36:59 it's not you, it's Jesus. 37:01 So in other words you give all the glory to Jesus 37:04 and you are looking to Jesus trusting in Him 37:07 and you come to the conclusion every day, 37:09 Lord, I can't obey You 37:12 unless you give me strength today 37:14 and I'm going to trust that You will do that. 37:18 Amen. 37:19 You see if you are a prayerless Christian 37:24 then you are not truly following Jesus. 37:28 Because to be much in prayer means Lord, 37:32 I don't want to be found in my righteousness 37:34 it falls short, it's filthy rags, Isaiah 64:6. 37:38 Paul said, I want to be found of Him 37:41 in His righteousness, Philippians 3:8, 9. 37:45 How many want to be found when your name comes up 37:47 to be clothed in His righteousness 37:50 and not your filthy rags? 37:52 Amen. 37:53 And so what promise does Jesus give 37:56 to those who are overcomers by His grace? 37:59 Revelation Chapter 3, Revelation Chapter 3 38:04 are we learning something? 38:05 Oh, we need the gospel truth. 38:07 Revelation 3:5 the Bible says here, 38:13 "He who overcomes" by the blood of Jesus Christ 38:16 and by the Word of god 38:18 "shall be clothed in white garments," 38:19 Christ righteousness 38:21 "and I will not blot out his name 38:22 from the Book of Life." 38:24 In other words if you are trusting 38:25 in Christ righteousness you are saying Jesus save me. 38:29 You think He is gonna fail you when you say, Jesus save me? 38:34 Peter, when he was drowning said Lord, save me 38:36 and the Lord was right there. 38:38 Let me tell you something, 38:39 the Lord is always right there when you just cry out for help. 38:45 How many are thankful for that tonight? 38:47 And so I want you notice here 38:50 "I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life." 38:53 Is that Book of Life open right now? 38:55 The books are what? Open. 38:57 He is gonna blot your name out if you are not overcoming. 39:02 If you are saying no, no, no I can live in a sin. 39:04 Now don't get me wrong, 39:05 that doesn't mean you are looking at yourself 39:06 and saying, well, finely perfect. 39:08 I'm gonna overcome. 39:09 But it does mean as you search your heart, 39:12 search my heart, O God, 39:13 and see if there is any wicked way in me, 39:15 Psalms 139:23, 24. 39:16 And you are saying 39:18 Lord, I don't want to hang on to any sin. 39:21 And if He shows you a sin in your life 39:23 you confess that you forsake it, 39:24 you don't excuse it 39:26 and you stay in Christ righteousness that way. 39:29 You cannot stay in those righteousness 39:31 while holding on to a sin 39:34 but I'm here to tell you the moment you say 39:36 Lord, have mercy upon me. 39:38 Cloth me in your righteous, I surrender, I repent. 39:42 You don't repent and come to Jesus 39:44 you come to Jesus and say 39:45 Lord, help me out of sorry for sin. 39:47 Because the goodness of God leads us to repentance, 39:51 Romans 2:4. 39:52 And it says in Acts 5:32 39:55 it says there that Jesus is a prince 39:58 and a Savior for to give us repentance. 40:02 He is the Alpha and Omega, Revelation 22:14. 40:06 So let's continue. 40:08 I will come, notice here verse 5 says, 40:12 "I will confess his name before my Father, 40:14 and before his angels." 40:16 So Jesus will confess this before the father 40:18 if we continue to confess and before men. 40:21 How many are not ashamed of Jesus Christ? 40:24 Amen. 40:25 And so, who are the first ones to be judged 40:28 first the world or the church? 40:31 "Judgment must begin at the house of God" 40:33 1 Peter 4:17. 40:34 What is the name of the seventh church of Revelation? 40:37 Laodicea, that literally means ones who are judged. 40:41 We are being judged, Revelation 3:14-21. 40:45 What warning does Jesus give to His last day people? 40:49 He says, get on fire 40:50 or I will spit you out of My mouth. 40:53 What would you call that? 40:54 Blotted out of the Book of Life. 40:56 Not confessing us before the father. 40:58 Do you know that we need to overcome lukewarmness 41:01 or we will be lost? 41:03 Spit out of His mouth, 41:04 blotted out of the Book of Life. 41:05 The judgment right now is going on 41:08 and God is looking to see who is gospel hardened 41:12 and gospel softened. 41:15 How many want to be melted by the love of Jesus? 41:19 Say Lord, take my heart, heart. 41:21 Aren't you glad the Bible says, 41:22 "I will take out of you the heart of stone 41:25 and put a new heart of tender flesh," 41:27 Ezekiel 36:26, 27. 41:30 How many agree do not limit the holy one of Israel? 41:34 If you are going through a personal crisis in your life, 41:37 if you are facing financial challenges, 41:39 if you are suffering from health problem, 41:41 if your marriage is needing a miracle, 41:44 if you have a special concern for your children. 41:46 Whatever you need maybe give us a call 41:48 and we will pray with you. 41:50 For your prayer requests call us at 1-855-336-Free. 41:55 "If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed," 41:59 John 8:36. 42:01 Why hasn't Christ come again yet? 42:04 Number one, "This gospel of the kingdom 42:06 shall be preached in all the world first" 42:08 and that has not sufficiently happened in our day, 42:11 Matthew 24:14. 42:13 The preaching of the gospel 42:15 has not reached the entire world yet. 42:17 Number 19, are most Christians spiritually awake 42:19 and ready for the soon return of Christ? 42:21 No, the church is sleeping in the last days saying 42:24 "My master is delaying His coming," 42:26 Matthew 24:48. 42:28 The dramatic signs of the times are intended by God to arouse 42:32 His sleeping saints 42:34 but they continue sleeping through the sirens. 42:39 Every city needs to hear the wake up call to repent 42:43 and trust Jesus as Savior and Lord. 42:47 Repent and trust in Jesus before it is too late. 42:50 How is the judgment good news for the righteous? 42:53 It we confessing before men He will confesses 42:56 before the Father that is good news. 42:59 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, 43:02 him I will also confess before My Father 43:05 who is in heaven. 43:06 But whoever denies Me before men, 43:09 him I will also deny before My Father 43:12 who is in heaven," Matthew 10:32. 43:16 That means when somebody offers 43:18 an off colored joke at the workplace 43:23 you don't make them feel like you are comfortable with it. 43:27 You don't make them, 43:28 you don't kind of laugh at stuff 43:31 that you know is a mockery to Jesus Christ. 43:35 Sometimes I will actually tell people, 43:39 you know, please don't take His name in vain. 43:42 I don't say that to necessarily every one 43:45 but I'm here to tell you, you got to stand up for Jesus. 43:47 I'm not talking about being in your face type of religion. 43:50 We don't need that but we do need 43:52 to stand up for Jesus. 43:54 Let people know, you know, I love my precious Jesus. 43:58 So when does this judgment take place? 44:01 The hour of His judgment takes place before Jesus comes. 44:04 Now what is the Bible's longest prophecy? 44:07 Daniel 8:14, 17. 44:10 Let's go there, Daniel 8:14, 17, all right. 44:15 The Bible says here, and notice here Daniel 8:14 44:21 "And he said to me, 44:22 'For two thousand three hundred days 44:24 then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.'" 44:26 The sanctuary is in heaven. 44:27 That's the one we are interested in. 44:29 What does it mean cleansing of the sanctuary? 44:32 Here we have an event of prophecy 44:34 and a timeline of prophecy, all right. 44:37 And notice verse 17, "So he came near where I stood, 44:41 and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face, 44:43 but he said to me, 'Understand, son of man, 44:45 that the vision refers to the time of the end.'" 44:48 So the Daniel's longest prophecy 44:51 for the end time would span the centuries 44:54 and communicate in the last days 44:56 of earth's history. 44:57 Now what does a day represent in Bible prophecy? 45:00 "I have appointed the each day for a year," 45:03 Ezekiel 4:6. 45:05 "I have appointed thee on day for" what everyone? 45:08 "A year." 45:10 That's the prophetic scale, one day equals a year. 45:13 So 2,300 days are what in the context 45:17 of symbolic Bible prophecy? 45:20 It represents 2,300 years. 45:22 That is the Bible's longest prophecy. 45:25 So in what year did Jesus began the judgment 45:28 in the heavenly sanctuary? 45:31 Every orthodox Jew knew, every Jew knew, 45:35 every Israelite knew that when the priest 45:39 would go into the most holy place 45:41 to cleanse the sanctuary 45:42 that was a time of judgment because if you were outside, 45:47 there outside in the camp of Israel 45:49 and you did not search your heart and repented sin 45:52 and humble yourself before God 45:54 during that solemn day of atonement 45:56 when the sanctuary was being cleansed 45:58 you would be kicked out of the camp of Israel. 46:03 It was a time of judgment. 46:05 We know it today is the Yom Kippur. 46:08 And so "two thousand three hundred days 46:11 then shall the" what? 46:12 "Sanctuary be cleansed," Daniel 8:14. 46:16 Now the cleansing of the sanctuary, 46:18 heavenly sanctuary begins at the close 46:21 of the 2,300 year prophecy. 46:25 Now when does this 2,300 year prophecy begin? 46:29 Daniel 9:25, Daniel 9:25, let's go there we're gonna 46:34 turn to this actually, Daniel 9:25, 46:38 "Know therefore and understand, 46:40 that from the going forth of the command to restore 46:44 and build Jerusalem" and will deal more with this. 46:47 The rest of this prophecy in another presentation. 46:50 So them when was the decree to rebuild Jerusalem issued? 46:56 According to Ezra 7:7, 10, 11, 47:01 the decree to restore Jerusalem 47:04 went into effect in the autumn of 457 B.C. 47:09 B.C. means what? Before Christ. 47:12 So it was-- how do we know it was 457 B.C.? 47:15 Because it was the seventh year of the rein of King Artaxerxes. 47:20 King Artaxerxes is the one that issued that decree 47:23 and its recorded there in Ezra 7. 47:26 So therefore I issue a decree 47:29 that all those the people of Israel 47:31 and the priest and Levites in my realm 47:33 who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem 47:36 you may go with you, Ezra 7:11. 47:39 Now Sir Isaac Newton was a brilliant English scientist, 47:44 mathematician and Bible scholar. 47:47 Look at this quote from a famous biography 47:50 of scientist Isaac Newton, 47:54 a fervent student of the Book of Daniel. 47:57 "Who cares whether Newton was correct in maintaining 48:00 that the prophecy of the seventy weeks 48:02 in the Book of Daniel" 48:04 we will look at that in another time 48:05 "referred to the interval of 490 years after" what? 48:10 "Ezra's leading the Jews from Babylon back to Jerusalem, 48:15 457 BC to the Crucifixion in AD." 48:19 Now listen carefully. 48:21 "Sir Isaac Newton would refer 48:24 to the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27" 48:27 and we looked at verse 25 " 48:29 as 'the Crown Jewel of the Old Testament' 48:32 and 'the foundation stone of the Christian religion.'" 48:34 So we are just looking at a portion of this right now 48:38 and we are gonna do more justice to it 48:40 and another presentation. 48:42 Now, let's look at a chart. 48:44 2,300 years from 457 B.C. 48:47 when the decree to restore Jerusalem 48:49 was issued in the autumn spanning the centuries 48:52 the time prophecy runs out in A.D. 1844 48:57 that's when the cleansing 48:58 of the sanctuary would go forth, 49:00 that's when the first angels message would go, 49:03 start to go around the world 49:05 that we are living in the hour of His judgment, 49:08 Jesus is in the most holy place, 49:10 the books are open, 49:12 your name is either gonna be blotted out 49:15 just like the children of Israel. 49:17 You don't repent, you're kicked out, 49:20 kicked out of the house of Israel. 49:22 So it's cleaning time 49:24 in the house of God in the last days. 49:26 How many agree, He cleanse the temple twice 49:28 when Jesus was here? 49:30 How many agree He is storming 49:31 the church to cleanse the church? 49:33 Does the church need some cleaning house time? 49:36 And so that's going on now. 49:38 Any superficial casual Christians 49:41 are gonna be blotted out of the Book of Life. 49:43 This message must resonate 49:46 with those who are truly seeking the Lord out of-- 49:48 Those who worship the Lord 49:50 must seek them in spirit and in truth. 49:53 Amen. John Chapter 4. 49:54 So therefore how long have 49:56 we been living in the hour of God's judgment? 49:59 Ever since 1844. 50:02 Is a mark, that's a long time ago, 50:05 Noah preached judgment for 120 years. 50:09 Oh, wait for that he's been holding 50:11 that prophecy seminar for 120 years 50:15 and you thought my seminar was long. 50:19 Hundred and twenty years he was preaching judgment 50:22 and he was saying the world is about to be destroyed, 50:25 the world is about to be destroyed 50:27 and it was punctuated by falling timber 50:29 and hammer blows and so forth and only eight people, 50:33 only the evangelist family and only a part of his family. 50:36 Is it part of his family? 50:38 Well, don't you think he probably had 50:39 some more offspring than just a few, you know? 50:44 There was only eight of them counting the preacher. 50:46 Now listen carefully, we've gone into overtime 50:51 because ever since 1844 50:53 the hour of God's judgment has began. 50:56 We are living now in the last work of Christ ministry. 51:00 The door to the Ark of the Covenant is still open. 51:06 Just as surely as the door to the ark was open 51:11 and the door to the ark close 51:14 and the door to the Ark of the Covenant 51:17 that is to say, take an advantage 51:19 of Christ priestly ministry is about to close 51:23 and it will said, he that is unjust 51:25 that's it I'm not gonna intercede for many more. 51:28 Blotted out of the Book of Life, 51:30 that's what they've chosen, 51:31 they want sin I can't force them to be safe. 51:35 And so the Bible makes it very clear 51:37 ever since 1844 we live in, in the hour of God's judgment. 51:41 So in the last days the focus 51:43 is not on the earthly sanctuary anymore. 51:45 Where? 51:47 The heavenly sanctuary, that's the focus. 51:48 So what sanctuary is in the focus 51:51 in the time of the end? 51:53 Revelation Chapter 11, Revelation Chapter 11, 51:55 I know we are learning a lot tonight. 51:57 Aren't we? 51:58 I know this is one of the most profound messages 52:01 and let me say probably one of the most 52:03 challenging messages to understand 52:06 and that's why we are recording these. 52:08 And so Revelation Chapter 11 52:10 and those watching by television 52:11 can email us or call us 52:14 and we get some literature to you or these DVDs. 52:17 And so notice here Revelation 11:19, 52:21 Revelation 11:19, 52:26 "And the temple of God was opened in heaven, 52:30 and the ark of His covenant" there was a door open to mercy. 52:36 How many agree that door at the ark, 52:37 that was a door of mercy? 52:40 And when that door came shut 52:42 it was seven days prior to the raindrops. 52:46 In other words the probation closed 52:49 for the antediluvians seven days 52:52 before the destruction of the world and the flood. 52:56 The flood, you know, raining 40 days and the end came. 53:00 So in other words 120 years was the time of the end 53:06 and then the end came. 53:08 Would you agree we been living in the time of the end, 53:09 its called the hour of God's judgment. 53:14 And so the Bible makes it very clear, 53:17 the priest was only in the most holy place one day. 53:20 Would you agree Jesus is not staying up 53:21 there in the most holy place forever, 53:23 He is gonna take off His priestly garments, 53:25 the books, the books-- well, you know, 53:27 you are either in or you are out. 53:30 You even have stayed on right in there with Jesus 53:33 or you are out. 53:35 Spit out of His mouth not to be confessed before the Father. 53:39 And so I want you to notice here 53:40 and I'm sure Jesus is gonna do that with that some tears. 53:44 And so I want you to notice here Revelation 11:19, 53:48 "The temple of God was opened in heaven, 53:50 and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple." 53:53 Would you agree that's what you got to be looking at? 53:55 That's where you have to set your gaze. 53:57 That's what we should be riveted upon. 53:59 What is Jesus doing now? 54:01 He is wrapping it up, 54:03 the door of probation is about the close. 54:05 Your name is about to become, to come up in glory. 54:08 Come on now, judgment in the house of God. 54:12 Lukewarm people will be spit out and blotted out. 54:15 Is that clear, yes or no? 54:19 Would you agree this message must go around the world? 54:22 This is the final call, the last wake up call. 54:26 Now listen, are Christians sleeping today? 54:28 I'm not talking about us. Are Christians sleeping? 54:31 Would you agree, wouldn't you expect to hear a final, 54:33 final wake up call saying, okay, this is your last call? 54:37 Just like Jesus went to the disciples three time 54:39 and the third time was the last call to get up. 54:42 And were they ready for the trial? 54:44 They weren't because they were sleeping. 54:45 They weren't ready. 54:47 They all were sunken in flood the Bible says. 54:50 I'm gonna thank well, you got to get awake and get ready. 54:52 Get ready, get ready. 54:54 And so I want you to notice here beloved, 54:56 temple of God was open in heaven. 54:58 The Ark of his Covenant was seen in His temple 55:02 and the smoke of the incense, 55:04 with the prayers of the saints ascended 55:05 before God and the-- and from the angels hand, 55:09 Revelation 8:4 and very soon the Bible says that 55:12 sensors gonna be cast down, probation will close. 55:14 So what does that cleansing of the sanctuary mean? 55:17 It means the blotting out of the record of sin. 55:19 Blotting out of the names of the unconverted 55:22 from the Book of Life. 55:24 When does Daniel say 55:25 people would understand these prophecies 55:27 during what he calls the time of the end? 55:29 Many would run to and fro and knowledge would increase 55:32 the prophecies of Daniel, Daniel 12:4. 55:35 How was the heavenly judgment foreshadowed 55:37 or symbolized in the Old Testament? 55:40 All right, now you got to do a little thinking. 55:41 Everyday a record of sin 55:44 was being brought into the sanctuary 55:46 through symbolized through the blood. 55:47 They would confess their sins over a lamb. 55:50 The priest would catch some of the blood 55:51 that contained the record of sin 55:53 and was smeared on the horns of the altar, 55:55 that's what says in Jeremiah 17:1, 55:57 your sins are on the horns of the altar. 56:00 That is the registered there through the blood. 56:02 It's all symbolic. 56:03 Now there is a record of sin 56:05 in the heavenly sanctuary that's accumulating? 56:06 How many agree, record of sin is being accumulating? 56:09 That necessitates the cleansing of the sanctuary 56:12 and that's why every day that would happen. 56:14 Symbolic the sin was transferred 56:16 from the guilty sinner 56:18 to the innocent lamb, all symbolic. 56:20 Then the high priest brought some of the blood 56:22 into the holy place, 56:23 sprinkled it there before the veil. 56:25 Symbolically the blood contained the record of sin. 56:28 Thus the sanctuary was being polluted 56:30 by the record of sin. 56:31 Why did the high priest go into the most holy place 56:34 on the final day of the year? 56:36 The daily accumulation of the record of sin 56:39 made a yearly cleansing of the sanctuary necessary. 56:42 The earthly sanctuary was cleansed 56:44 once a year at the end of the biblical year 56:46 known as the Day of Atonement. 56:48 And to this day Yom Kippur, 56:51 this was the solemn annual event. 56:54 The trumpets blasted to announced 56:56 the beginning of the cleansing of the sanctuary 56:58 and the priest would sprinkle blood 57:01 seven times on the mercy seat, 57:03 Leviticus 16:14 makes that clear. 57:05 And then at that time "For any person 57:08 who is not afflicted of soul on that same day, 57:11 that person shall be cut off from his people." 57:14 In other words when there is cleansing, 57:17 when there is cleansing time 57:18 there must be repentance for the kingdom. 57:24 Beloved, now that door is open. 57:26 There is a door open that no man can shut. 57:29 Revelation 3:7, 8. 57:32 But there is a door about to shut that no man could open. 57:36 You know, that door is open just a little longer. 57:42 Although sudden and alarming changes 57:44 are sweeping across the globe 57:46 you and your family can be prepared 57:48 to face the future with comforts. 57:51 The complete set of Amazing Prophecies on DVD 57:54 are available for a gift of $60 or more. 57:57 Call us at 1-855-336-Free or send your check 58:03 or money order to Forever Free Ministries, 58:06 2001 Munro Park, Corinth, Texas, 76208. 58:13 If you would like to have Mark Fox hold 58:15 an Amazing Prophecy seminar or a marriage seminar weekend 58:18 in your church contact us today, 58:21 markfox @foreverfreeministries.org |
