(Theme Song) ? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:03.06\00:00:11.50
? oh yes, he's
worthy ? ? worthy of all ?
00:00:11.50\00:00:19.53
The Word teaches me that
when Jesus, the real Superman,
00:00:23.90\00:00:26.66
comes back, the Bible
says that he will come the same
00:00:26.66\00:00:30.36
way he left.
00:00:30.36\00:00:31.56
If he left in a cloud,
he's coming back in a cloud.
00:00:31.56\00:00:34.86
But there are some people
who think that when Jesus comes
00:00:34.86\00:00:39.23
back, the real Superman comes
back the second time, there
00:00:39.23\00:00:41.30
are some people who
believe that Jesus' feet will
00:00:41.30\00:00:44.36
touch this earth.
00:00:44.36\00:00:45.90
But the Bible is very clear
that the same way he left is
00:00:45.90\00:00:49.56
the same way he's
coming what? Back.
00:00:49.56\00:00:52.10
Know what you believe, know
why you believe it, and know
00:00:52.10\00:00:56.13
where it's found.
00:00:56.13\00:00:58.43
Jesus left in a
cloud, he's coming back
00:00:58.43\00:01:01.26
in a cloud, which
means then that Jesus' feet
00:01:01.26\00:01:05.30
will not touch this earth
because sin cannot come in
00:01:05.30\00:01:10.23
contact with the divine.
00:01:10.23\00:01:12.03
Are you hearing what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:01:12.03\00:01:14.16
The feet of Jesus can't touch
this sin and touch the earth
00:01:14.16\00:01:16.23
until this earth is cleaned up.
00:01:16.23\00:01:17.66
Are you hearing what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:01:17.66\00:01:19.26
Let's go on.
00:01:19.26\00:01:20.33
Jesus' feet will never
touch the earth because of sin.
00:01:20.33\00:01:24.76
Now, we know the signs of
his coming, we know that he's
00:01:24.76\00:01:30.30
coming, we know
how he will come.
00:01:30.30\00:01:34.00
But when he
comes, who will see him?
00:01:34.00\00:01:37.53
Got with me to the
book of Revelation.
00:01:37.53\00:01:39.56
What book, everybody?
00:01:39.56\00:01:40.16
Come on, let's get some Word.
00:01:40.16\00:01:41.76
Revelation, chapter 1,
verse 7. Revelation 1:7.
00:01:41.76\00:01:52.63
The Word of God says,
Revelation 1:7, the Word says,
00:01:52.63\00:02:05.13
Behold he cometh with what?
00:02:05.13\00:02:08.56
Come on, behold
he cometh with what?
00:02:08.56\00:02:10.30
Now, that's how the Bible
does not contradict itself.
00:02:10.30\00:02:13.20
Because we just read in
Acts what the Word of God says,
00:02:13.20\00:02:19.46
he left in a cloud,
and that he's going to
00:02:19.46\00:02:22.70
come back the same way
he left, so if he left in
00:02:22.70\00:02:24.43
a cloud, he's coming
back in a what? Cloud.
00:02:24.43\00:02:28.46
Verse 7 of Revelation, Chapter
1: Behold he cometh with what?
00:02:28.46\00:02:32.30
Clouds.
00:02:32.30\00:02:33.46
And every what?
00:02:33.46\00:02:34.90
Come on, every what?
00:02:34.90\00:02:35.96
Every eye shall see him,
and they also which what?
00:02:35.96\00:02:40.00
Pierced him, and all
kindreds of the earth shall wail
00:02:40.00\00:02:42.80
because of him.
00:02:42.80\00:02:43.63
Even so, Amen.
00:02:43.63\00:02:45.00
The point we're making is,
when Jesus Christ comes back
00:02:45.00\00:02:48.63
the second time with Superman,
the real one comes back the
00:02:48.63\00:02:52.70
second time, every
eye is going to see Jesus.
00:02:52.70\00:02:56.13
Understand, when Jesus comes
back the second time, there
00:02:56.13\00:02:59.66
will be no secret rapture.
00:02:59.66\00:03:01.73
There will be no secret
return of Jesus' coming.
00:03:01.73\00:03:06.36
Are you hearing what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:03:06.36\00:03:07.90
When Jesus comes back
the second time, the Bible is
00:03:07.90\00:03:11.10
clear that every living
eye is going to see him.
00:03:11.10\00:03:15.93
So you know what that means?
00:03:15.93\00:03:17.73
Those of us in
Atlanta, we gonna see it.
00:03:17.73\00:03:21.50
That also means that those in
New York are going to see him.
00:03:21.50\00:03:26.73
That also means that those
on the west coast, in L.A., are
00:03:26.73\00:03:30.16
going to see him.
00:03:30.16\00:03:31.46
But we don't just stop there,
because understand, Jesus is
00:03:31.46\00:03:34.33
omnipresent.
00:03:34.33\00:03:35.90
Jesus is
everywhere at the same time.
00:03:35.90\00:03:38.40
When Jesus comes back the
second time, not just Atlanta,
00:03:38.40\00:03:42.10
not just New York, not just
L.A., but those in Africa are
00:03:42.10\00:03:45.66
gonna see him.
00:03:45.66\00:03:47.66
Those in
Afghanistan are gonna see him.
00:03:47.66\00:03:50.60
Those in Asia are gonna see him.
00:03:50.60\00:03:53.56
When Jesus Christ comes back,
every eye is going to see him.
00:03:53.56\00:04:01.96
So when he comes back, Pastor,
we understand he's gotta come
00:04:01.96\00:04:06.36
back, we understand now
from the Word the signs for
00:04:06.36\00:04:09.96
telling his coming back.
00:04:09.96\00:04:11.86
We understand how we will come
back, and we understand that
00:04:11.86\00:04:16.70
when he comes back, everybody
is going to see him, but who's
00:04:16.70\00:04:20.43
going to be with
him when he comes back?
00:04:20.43\00:04:23.13
Go with me, let's
get some more Word.
00:04:23.13\00:04:25.26
Go with me to
the book of Matthew.
00:04:25.26\00:04:26.66
What book, everybody?
00:04:26.66\00:04:27.30
Let's preach
from the Word of God.
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.40
Know what you believe, why you
believe it, where it's found.
00:04:29.40\00:04:31.80
Matthew, chapter 25, verse 31.
00:04:31.80\00:04:36.43
Matthew 25:31.
00:04:36.43\00:04:41.23
The Word of God says
very clearly in Matthew 25:31,
00:04:41.23\00:04:48.96
"When the Son of Man
shall come in his" what? Glory.
00:04:48.96\00:04:53.50
And all the what with him?
00:04:53.50\00:04:55.66
Holy angels.
00:04:55.66\00:04:56.46
And I love that adjective.
00:04:56.46\00:04:58.00
It doesn't just
say all the angels.
00:04:58.00\00:04:59.36
It says all the holy angels,
which suggests to me there
00:04:59.36\00:05:02.10
are some unholy angels.
00:05:02.10\00:05:04.36
All the holy angels with him.
00:05:04.36\00:05:09.83
Then shall he sit upon
the throne of his glory.
00:05:09.83\00:05:15.90
When Jesus comes back the
second time, we recognize that
00:05:15.90\00:05:21.93
he's coming back not only in
a cloud, but he's coming back
00:05:21.93\00:05:24.80
in a cloud with
all the holy angels.
00:05:24.80\00:05:27.66
Jesus, yes, is coming back.
00:05:27.66\00:05:30.53
We read that from Matthew 24.
00:05:30.53\00:05:31.96
Yes, we know the
signs of his coming back.
00:05:31.96\00:05:35.10
Wars, rumors of what?
00:05:35.10\00:05:37.03
Wars.
00:05:37.03\00:05:38.10
We know the signs
of his coming back.
00:05:38.10\00:05:39.56
We know how he's
going to come back.
00:05:39.56\00:05:41.66
He left in a cloud, he's
going to return in a what?
00:05:41.66\00:05:45.23
Cloud.
00:05:45.23\00:05:46.16
We also know that when
Jesus Christ comes back, every
00:05:46.16\00:05:49.70
living eye is going to
see him, and he's coming
00:05:49.70\00:05:51.76
back with the angels.
00:05:51.76\00:05:53.40
Now, let's dig a little deeper.
00:05:53.40\00:05:56.20
When Jesus comes back, Bible
now, when Jesus comes back,
00:05:56.20\00:06:03.00
who's going to be waiting
for him here on this earth
00:06:03.00\00:06:05.83
when he comes back?
00:06:05.83\00:06:06.56
What will be the groups
of people here on this earth
00:06:06.56\00:06:10.60
when he comes back?
00:06:10.60\00:06:11.86
Understand that there will
be four primary groups of people
00:06:11.86\00:06:16.16
when Jesus comes
back the second time.
00:06:16.16\00:06:19.60
How many
groups, everybody? Four.
00:06:19.60\00:06:21.53
Four primary groups of people.
00:06:21.53\00:06:23.36
Let's get some Word.
00:06:23.36\00:06:24.16
Go with me to the
book of I Thessalonians.
00:06:24.16\00:06:25.93
What book, everybody?
00:06:25.93\00:06:26.56
Come on, stay with me.
00:06:26.56\00:06:28.16
I Thessalonians, chapter 4,
and we're going to verse 16.
00:06:28.16\00:06:33.43
I Thessalonians 4:16.
00:06:33.43\00:06:39.06
Now, remember, the Bible
is clear that there are four
00:06:39.06\00:06:46.30
primy groups of people, four
primary groups of people who
00:06:46.30\00:06:51.86
will be here when Jesus
comes back the second time.
00:06:51.86\00:06:55.26
Group number one, if you have
your Bibles at I Thessalonians
00:06:55.26\00:06:57.96
4:16, let me hear you say Amen.
00:06:57.96\00:07:01.76
The Word of God says
in I Thessalonians 4:16,
00:07:01.76\00:07:04.10
For the Lord what?
00:07:04.10\00:07:05.83
Himself.
00:07:05.83\00:07:07.26
For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
00:07:07.26\00:07:09.40
with a what? Shout.
00:07:09.40\00:07:11.16
Now, let me stop right there.
00:07:11.16\00:07:12.10
That means when
Jesus comes back,
00:07:12.10\00:07:13.43
it won't be an imposter.
00:07:13.43\00:07:15.60
It's going to be the real thing.
00:07:15.60\00:07:17.90
For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
00:07:17.90\00:07:21.76
with a what?
00:07:21.76\00:07:22.76
That's why I get
excited and I have to shout
00:07:22.76\00:07:24.63
sometimes in church,
because when Jesus Christ
00:07:24.63\00:07:26.93
comes back, the Lord
himself is going to descend
00:07:26.93\00:07:29.23
from heaven with a
what, everybody? Shout.
00:07:29.23\00:07:32.06
With the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump
00:07:32.06\00:07:38.53
of God, and the dead in
Christ shall rise, what? First.
00:07:38.53\00:07:41.36
All right, so group number
one, the righteous dead, at
00:07:41.36\00:07:45.06
Jesus' second coming, the
Bible says that they are going
00:07:45.06\00:07:49.60
to rise what? First.
00:07:49.60\00:07:50.86
That's what the Bible says.
00:07:50.86\00:07:53.76
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:07:53.76\00:07:56.10
know where it's found.
00:07:56.10\00:07:57.70
The Bible says that when
Superman, the real Superman,
00:07:57.70\00:08:00.93
Jesus Christ, comes back the
second time, group number one,
00:08:00.93\00:08:04.96
the righteous dead, the
righteous what, everybody?
00:08:04.96\00:08:08.23
They are going to rise what?
00:08:08.23\00:08:09.93
First.
00:08:09.93\00:08:11.70
Then let's dig a little deeper.
00:08:11.70\00:08:12.33
Go to verse 17.
00:08:12.33\00:08:13.33
The Bible then goes on and
says, "Then we which are alive
00:08:13.33\00:08:16.56
and remain," hallelujah
somebody, "we're going to be
00:08:16.56\00:08:21.10
caught up together with
them in the" what? Clouds.
00:08:21.10\00:08:25.40
Because remember now, he's
coming in a cloud, we will be
00:08:25.40\00:08:28.70
caught up together with him in
the clouds to meet the Lord in
00:08:28.70\00:08:31.20
the what?
00:08:31.20\00:08:31.93
Air, and so shall we
ever be with whom, everybody?
00:08:31.93\00:08:36.66
All right.
00:08:36.66\00:08:37.80
So that's group number
two, the righteous living.
00:08:37.80\00:08:39.73
Everybody say righteous living.
00:08:39.73\00:08:41.26
Righteous living.
00:08:41.26\00:08:42.53
Group number one at Jesus'
second coming, the righteous
00:08:42.53\00:08:45.36
dead rise what? First.
00:08:45.36\00:08:46.26
Group number two, the
righteous living at Jesus'
00:08:46.26\00:08:49.90
second coming, they're caught
up to meet the Lord in the
00:08:49.90\00:08:52.40
what?
00:08:52.40\00:08:53.46
They're caught up to
meet the Lord in the air.
00:08:53.46\00:08:55.43
So know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:08:55.43\00:08:57.53
know where it's found.
00:08:57.53\00:08:58.33
Righteous dead rise first.
00:08:58.33\00:08:59.30
Righteous living are caught
up to meet the Lord in the what?
00:08:59.30\00:09:04.10
Let's get some more Word.
00:09:04.10\00:09:04.80
We said four
groups, we've done two.
00:09:04.80\00:09:06.36
Group number three.
00:09:06.36\00:09:07.43
Go with me to the
book of II Thessalonians,
00:09:07.43\00:09:10.33
chapter two.
00:09:10.33\00:09:12.80
Let's come straight
from the Word of God.
00:09:12.80\00:09:14.63
II Thessalonians 2, and verse 8.
00:09:14.63\00:09:18.83
The Word of God says to us in
II Thessalonians 2:8, the Word
00:09:18.83\00:09:29.83
of God says, "And then
shall that wicked be" what?
00:09:29.83\00:09:33.40
Revealed.
00:09:33.40\00:09:34.53
Whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his what?
00:09:34.53\00:09:37.80
And shall destroy with
the brightness of his what?
00:09:37.80\00:09:42.23
Verse 9, "even him whose
coming is after the working of
00:09:42.23\00:09:45.30
Satan, with all power
and signs of lying wonders."
00:09:45.30\00:09:48.73
Verse 10, "and with all
00:09:48.73\00:09:50.00
deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that
00:09:50.00\00:09:52.43
perish because they receive
not the love of the truth that
00:09:52.43\00:09:55.80
they might be saved.
00:09:55.80\00:09:57.76
And for this cause, God
shall send them strong delusion,
00:09:57.76\00:10:03.90
that they should
believe a" what, everybody?
00:10:03.90\00:10:06.90
A lie.
00:10:06.90\00:10:07.70
That's why we got to know
the Word of God for ourselves.
00:10:07.70\00:10:11.16
Verse 12, "That they all might
be damned who believed not in
00:10:11.16\00:10:15.30
the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." Group number
00:10:15.30\00:10:23.40
three, the unrighteous or
the wicked living, the Bible is
00:10:23.40\00:10:27.73
clear in II Thessalonians
2:8 that they will die at the
00:10:27.73\00:10:33.13
brightness of Christ's coming.
00:10:33.13\00:10:35.20
At Jesus' second coming,
group number one, the dead
00:10:35.20\00:10:38.10
in Christ will rise what?
00:10:38.10\00:10:39.00
First.
00:10:39.00\00:10:40.23
Group number two, the
righteous living, will be
00:10:40.23\00:10:42.16
caught up to meet the
Lord in the what? Air.
00:10:42.16\00:10:44.56
Group number three, the
unrighteous or the wicked
00:10:44.56\00:10:47.66
living, will die at
the brightness of his what?
00:10:47.66\00:10:50.20
Coming.
00:10:50.20\00:10:51.93
Then there's one more group.
00:10:51.93\00:10:53.86
Go with me to the
book of Revelation.
00:10:53.86\00:10:55.30
What book, everybody?
00:10:55.30\00:10:56.16
Let's get some more Word.
00:10:56.16\00:10:58.66
Let's get some more Word.
00:10:58.66\00:10:59.73
Revelation, chapter 20, verse 5.
00:10:59.73\00:11:05.46
Revelation 20:5.
00:11:05.46\00:11:11.13
The Word of God is very
clear in Revelation 20:5: But
00:11:11.13\00:11:17.43
the rest of the what?
00:11:17.43\00:11:19.53
Dead, live not again until
the thousand years were what?
00:11:19.53\00:11:23.16
Finished.
00:11:23.16\00:11:24.36
This is the first resurrection.
00:11:24.36\00:11:26.43
We're going to talk
about that a little bit more.
00:11:26.43\00:11:28.33
But I want you to zero
in on that first sentence.
00:11:28.33\00:11:29.66
But the rest of the dead lived
not again until the thousand
00:11:29.66\00:11:31.96
years were what?
00:11:31.96\00:11:32.63
Finished.
00:11:32.63\00:11:33.50
So, at Jesus' second coming,
at the real Superman's second
00:11:33.50\00:11:38.23
coming, when he comes to get
his people, group number one,
00:11:38.23\00:11:42.43
the righteous dead,
they rise what? First.
00:11:42.43\00:11:46.26
Group number two, the
righteous living, are caught
00:11:46.26\00:11:48.96
up to meet the
Lord in the what? Air.
00:11:48.96\00:11:50.56
Group number three, the wicked
or the unrighteous living, die
00:11:50.56\00:11:54.03
at the brightness of his what?
00:11:54.03\00:11:55.23
Coming.
00:11:55.23\00:11:56.23
And group number four, the
wicked or unrighteous dead,
00:11:56.23\00:12:00.83
remain what, everybody?
00:12:00.83\00:12:02.80
Now let's expand our minds.
00:12:02.80\00:12:07.23
We've studied from the Word of
God that Jesus is coming back.
00:12:07.23\00:12:13.86
We know the signs of his coming.
00:12:13.86\00:12:19.46
We know how he's going to come.
00:12:19.46\00:12:22.36
He left in the clouds,
he's coming back in a cloud.
00:12:22.36\00:12:25.90
We know that when he
comes back every eye is
00:12:25.90\00:12:28.93
going to see him.
00:12:28.93\00:12:30.96
Nothing secret about his coming.
00:12:30.96\00:12:32.76
We also know that the
angels, the holy angels, will
00:12:32.76\00:12:37.00
come in a cloud with him.
00:12:37.00\00:12:39.96
We've also read today
from Scripture, where the Bible
00:12:39.96\00:12:43.20
says group number one, the
dead in Christ will rise what?
00:12:43.20\00:12:45.16
First.
00:12:45.16\00:12:46.73
We've read that group number
two, the righteous living,
00:12:46.73\00:12:49.30
will be caught up in the what?
00:12:49.30\00:12:50.43
Air.
00:12:50.43\00:12:52.63
To meet the Lord in the air.
00:12:52.63\00:12:54.73
Group number three, the wicked
or the unrighteous living will
00:12:54.73\00:12:56.26
die at the
brightness of his coming.
00:12:56.26\00:12:58.83
Group number for, the
wicked or the unrighteous dead,
00:12:58.83\00:13:02.23
will remain dead.
00:13:02.23\00:13:03.70
So, Pastor Byrd, if when Jesus
comes back the second time,
00:13:03.70\00:13:10.80
and the dead in Christ rise
first, and we which are alive
00:13:10.80\00:13:16.30
and remain are caught up to
meet the Lord in the air, if,
00:13:16.30\00:13:21.40
because I hear when Grandma,
Big Mama, Big Daddy, when they
00:13:21.40\00:13:27.26
die and they're buried here
on this earth, and when they die
00:13:27.26\00:13:31.63
in the Lord, I always here
that they're in heaven looking
00:13:31.63\00:13:35.10
down on me, that they
have died and now they are in
00:13:35.10\00:13:39.30
heaven, Pastor Byrd, if that
were true, if Big Mama who has
00:13:39.30\00:13:43.00
died, Big Daddy who has died,
if they are already in heaven,
00:13:43.00\00:13:46.50
if the Bible says that the
dead in Christ are going to
00:13:46.50\00:13:49.26
rise first and the righteous
living are going to be caught
00:13:49.26\00:13:51.03
up to meet the Lord in the
air, then who would Jesus be
00:13:51.03\00:13:53.73
coming back for
at his second coming?
00:13:53.73\00:13:58.63
Who would he
have to come back for?
00:13:58.63\00:14:04.86
Because if you're saying
Big Mama, Big Daddy who were
00:14:04.86\00:14:07.16
righteous, and they died
in the Lord, are already in
00:14:07.16\00:14:09.66
heaven, then at Jesus' second
coming, who would rise first?
00:14:09.66\00:14:18.60
Who would be caught up?
00:14:18.60\00:14:21.16
We gotta preach the Word of God.
00:14:21.16\00:14:24.10
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:14:24.10\00:14:27.60
know where it's found.
00:14:27.60\00:14:29.60
And don't be scared of
it, because God's got my back.
00:14:29.60\00:14:32.13
You all hear what I'm saying?
00:14:32.13\00:14:33.10
So then, we know when
I get to heaven, I'm just
00:14:33.10\00:14:41.00
going to be happy.
00:14:41.00\00:14:41.73
Number one, you know, they
say those you thought would be
00:14:41.73\00:14:44.03
there won't be there.
00:14:44.03\00:14:46.50
Those you thought
wouldn't be there will be there.
00:14:46.50\00:14:50.00
And praise God, Lord, I'm here.
00:14:50.00\00:14:53.96
But we study from the Word
of God that we want to be in
00:14:53.96\00:14:56.36
either group one or two, the
righteous dead who rise first,
00:14:56.36\00:14:59.06
or the righteous living who
are caught up to meet the Lord
00:14:59.06\00:15:01.90
in the what, everybody?
00:15:01.90\00:15:02.86
Who are caught up to meet
the Lord in the what, everybody?
00:15:02.86\00:15:04.96
Yeah, gotta yo
read this scripture,
00:15:04.96\00:15:06.70
this gets me excited.
00:15:06.70\00:15:07.30
Because the Apostle Paul says
in I Corinthians 15, verse 51,
00:15:07.30\00:15:11.26
"Behold, I show you a mystery.
00:15:11.26\00:15:14.56
For the day is coming we shall
not all sleep, but we shall
00:15:14.56\00:15:17.56
be" what, everybody?
00:15:17.56\00:15:18.73
"Changed, in a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye." How
00:15:18.73\00:15:23.50
quick is the
twinkling of an eye?
00:15:23.50\00:15:24.86
I don't know, but I
know how to wink at my wife.
00:15:24.86\00:15:26.00
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:15:26.00\00:15:27.36
In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump.
00:15:27.36\00:15:31.66
For the trumpet shall what?
00:15:31.66\00:15:34.36
"And the dead shall
be raised incorruptible,
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.80
and we shall be what?
00:15:37.80\00:15:39.30
Oh yes, for this corruptible
must put on incorruption,
00:15:39.30\00:15:44.96
and this mortal
must put on immortality.
00:15:44.96\00:15:46.80
So when this corruptible shall
have put on incorruption, and
00:15:46.80\00:15:49.30
this mortal shall has put
on immortality, then shall be
00:15:49.30\00:15:51.13
brought to pass this
thing that is written.
00:15:51.13\00:15:52.73
Death is
swallowed up in victory.
00:15:52.73\00:15:59.06
O death, where is thy sting?
00:15:59.06\00:16:01.73
O grave, where is thy victory?
00:16:01.73\00:16:05.73
The sting of death is sin.
00:16:05.73\00:16:08.70
The strength of sin is the law.
00:16:08.70\00:16:11.33
But thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through
00:16:11.33\00:16:18.13
our Lord Jesus Christ."
00:16:18.13\00:16:19.83
Victory is mine.
00:16:19.83\00:16:21.46
Victory is mine.
00:16:21.46\00:16:23.80
Victory today is mine.
00:16:23.80\00:16:26.50
I told Satan, get thee behind.
00:16:26.50\00:16:30.56
Victory today is mine.
00:16:30.56\00:16:32.50
"Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be ye stedfast,
00:16:32.50\00:16:35.46
unmoveable, always abounding
in the work of the Lord,
00:16:35.46\00:16:40.50
forasmuch as ye know that your
labor is not what, everybody?
00:16:40.50\00:16:43.86
But despite the warnings
that have been foretold, when
00:16:43.86\00:16:48.23
Jesus, the real Superman,
comes the second time, just
00:16:48.23\00:16:52.26
like folk weren't prepared the
first time, they're not going
00:16:52.26\00:16:56.80
to be prepared the second time.
00:16:56.80\00:16:59.10
The Bible is clear that
everybody, all of us, are
00:16:59.10\00:17:04.96
going to
receive our just reward.
00:17:04.96\00:17:07.60
The Bible is clear in
Revelation 22:11: "He that is
00:17:07.60\00:17:10.36
unjust, let him be unjust still.
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.76
He that is filthy,
let him be filthy still.
00:17:13.76\00:17:18.30
He that is righteous,
let him be righteous still.
00:17:18.30\00:17:22.90
He that is holy,
let him be holy still.
00:17:22.90\00:17:27.70
And behold I come quickly, and
my reward is with me, to give
00:17:27.70\00:17:33.00
every man, every woman,
according as his or her works
00:17:33.00\00:17:37.76
shall be." So when the
old folks used to sing those
00:17:37.76\00:17:41.63
spirituals, if I die,
and my soul be lost, it's
00:17:41.63\00:17:50.06
nobody's fault but mine.
00:17:50.06\00:17:55.20
So you better
mind, you better mind.
00:17:55.20\00:18:00.23
Judgment day is coming.
00:18:00.23\00:18:03.13
You better mind.
00:18:03.13\00:18:05.66
You better mind who you're
talking to, you better mind
00:18:05.66\00:18:08.83
who you're talking about.
00:18:08.83\00:18:11.50
Judgment day is coming.
00:18:11.50\00:18:14.53
You better mind.
00:18:14.53\00:18:16.23
You know what?
00:18:16.23\00:18:16.66
I'm going to mind because
I want to be either a part of
00:18:16.66\00:18:18.96
the dead in Christ who rise
first, or I want to be part of
00:18:18.96\00:18:21.63
the righteous living who
are caught up to meet the
00:18:21.63\00:18:23.86
Lord in the air.
00:18:23.86\00:18:24.90
Jesus died for me, and all
he asks is that I live for him.
00:18:24.90\00:18:30.33
Jesus has done too much
for me for me to miss out
00:18:30.33\00:18:33.36
on God's great heaven.
00:18:33.36\00:18:34.20
He's got a mansion
just for me, with my name
00:18:34.20\00:18:38.16
written all over it.
00:18:38.16\00:18:39.16
I believe right in front of
my mansion, the street in front
00:18:39.16\00:18:42.40
of my mansion is Byrd Boulevard.
00:18:42.40\00:18:44.53
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:18:44.53\00:18:45.13
I believe that
it's covered with gold.
00:18:45.13\00:18:47.80
I've got loved ones
that I want to see again.
00:18:47.80\00:18:50.53
I understand that the
Bible says there will be no more
00:18:50.53\00:18:52.83
crying there, no more dying
there, no more sickness there,
00:18:52.83\00:18:58.06
no more cancer there, no
more arthritis there, no more
00:18:58.06\00:19:03.43
insulin shots there, no more
heart disease there, no more
00:19:03.43\00:19:07.90
house note there, no more
car note there, no more tuition
00:19:07.90\00:19:12.63
there, no more bills
there, no more night there.
00:19:12.63\00:19:16.66
The former
things are passed away.
00:19:16.66\00:19:21.20
All things become new.
00:19:21.20\00:19:24.16
Superman is coming to my rescue.
00:19:24.16\00:19:28.16
I said, Superman is coming
to my--let me read this text.
00:19:28.16\00:19:32.30
Revelation 7:13 says, "And one
of the elders answered, saying
00:19:32.30\00:19:38.26
unto me, What are these which
are arrayed in white robes?
00:19:38.26\00:19:43.23
and whence came they?
00:19:43.23\00:19:46.66
And I said unto
him, Sir, thou knowest.
00:19:46.66\00:19:50.36
And he said to me, These
are they which came out of great
00:19:50.36\00:19:56.43
tribulation, and have washed
their robes, and made them
00:19:56.43\00:20:00.63
white in the blood of the Lamb.
00:20:00.63\00:20:04.06
Therefore are they before
the throne of God, and serve him
00:20:04.06\00:20:07.60
day and night in his temple:
and he that sitteth on the
00:20:07.60\00:20:12.43
throne shall dwell among them.
00:20:12.43\00:20:15.93
They shall hunger no
more, neither thirst any more;
00:20:15.93\00:20:20.93
neither shall the sun
light on them, nor any heat.
00:20:20.93\00:20:26.03
For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed
00:20:26.03\00:20:32.53
them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters."
00:20:32.53\00:20:36.83
Hallelujah.
00:20:36.83\00:20:38.26
"And God shall wipe every tear
from their eyes." Can I tell
00:20:38.26\00:20:44.60
you right quick about heaven?
00:20:44.60\00:20:45.90
Can I tell you
right quick about heaven?
00:20:45.90\00:20:48.60
Heaven is going to be a
wonderful place, filled with
00:20:48.60\00:20:51.76
glory and grace.
00:20:51.76\00:20:53.13
I plan to see my Savior's
face, because heaven's going
00:20:53.13\00:20:56.23
to be a wonderful place.
00:20:56.23\00:20:58.06
The lion is going
to play with the lamb.
00:20:58.06\00:21:00.43
There's a song that says,
we gonna sit at the welcome
00:21:00.43\00:21:03.50
table, one of these days.
00:21:03.50\00:21:05.36
We gonna feast on milk
and honey, we gonna sing
00:21:05.36\00:21:08.33
and never get tired.
00:21:08.33\00:21:10.10
We gonna walk
and talk with Jesus.
00:21:10.10\00:21:12.40
We gonna eat grits with Jesus.
00:21:12.40\00:21:14.96
We gonna shout hallelujah.
00:21:14.96\00:21:17.76
We gonna put on
our long white robes.
00:21:17.76\00:21:20.56
In fact, when I get to
heaven, when I get in the very
00:21:20.56\00:21:26.20
presence of God, I'm
gonna shout holy, holy, holy.
00:21:26.20\00:21:32.70
We won't rest day nor
night when we get to the kingdom
00:21:32.70\00:21:35.13
because we gonna shout holy,
holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,
00:21:35.13\00:21:39.26
which was and is to come.
00:21:39.26\00:21:41.46
And around God's
throne there's going to
00:21:41.46\00:21:45.86
be persistent praise.
00:21:45.86\00:21:48.10
Persistent praise.
00:21:48.10\00:21:50.53
So if you don't like to praise
him down here, I don't know
00:21:50.53\00:21:53.60
what you're going to
do when we get up there.
00:21:53.60\00:21:55.40
Because there's going
to be persistent praise.
00:21:55.40\00:21:58.96
I'm not going to wait until
I get to heaven to praise him.
00:21:58.96\00:22:02.23
I'm going to
praise him down here too.
00:22:02.23\00:22:05.46
Some of you all talking
about when I get to heaven, I'm
00:22:05.46\00:22:08.13
going to sing and
shout, and all you do down here
00:22:08.13\00:22:10.80
is sit and look.
00:22:10.80\00:22:11.70
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:22:11.70\00:22:12.93
Talking about if I had
10,000 tongues, I couldn't
00:22:12.93\00:22:16.23
praise him enough.
00:22:16.23\00:22:17.03
God says, why don't you
start with the one tongue that
00:22:17.03\00:22:19.93
you've got right now?
00:22:19.93\00:22:21.03
Don't wait until
the battle is over.
00:22:21.03\00:22:22.90
Shout now.
00:22:22.90\00:22:24.23
Somebody ought to give
him glory in this place,
00:22:24.23\00:22:26.30
honor in this place.
00:22:26.30\00:22:27.83
Has God been good to anybody?
00:22:27.83\00:22:29.73
Because he's coming back.
00:22:29.73\00:22:35.00
Yes, he's coming back again.
00:22:35.00\00:22:37.50
Glory, hallelujah.
00:22:37.50\00:22:40.46
Bless his name.
00:22:40.46\00:22:42.13
Lift him up.
00:22:42.13\00:22:43.60
Praise God.
00:22:43.60\00:22:45.23
He's coming back again.
00:22:45.23\00:22:47.10
So I don't know.
00:22:47.10\00:22:48.40
I don't know how
long it'll be, or what the
00:22:48.40\00:22:54.63
future holds for me.
00:22:54.63\00:22:58.00
But this I know.
00:22:58.00\00:23:01.43
If Jesus leads, I
shall get home someday.
00:23:01.43\00:23:11.26
The real
Superman is coming back.
00:23:11.26\00:23:17.26
Jesus is coming back again.
00:23:17.26\00:23:19.10
Superman to the rescue.
00:23:19.10\00:23:24.83
And I'm so glad troubles,
they just don't last always.
00:23:24.83\00:23:30.20
Whatever you're going through
now, it doesn't last always.
00:23:30.20\00:23:33.56
Weeping may endure
for nights, but joy comes
00:23:33.56\00:23:39.40
in the morning time.
00:23:39.40\00:23:40.20
Superman's coming to the rescue.
00:23:40.20\00:23:42.93
The grass withereth, the
flower fadeth, but the Word of
00:23:42.93\00:23:47.46
our God shall stand forever.
00:23:47.46\00:23:52.56
So dry your eyes, keep your
head up, stick your chest out,
00:23:52.56\00:24:00.83
keep on loving, keep on
giving, keep on serving.
00:24:00.83\00:24:07.00
The race is not given to
the swift or to the strong, but
00:24:07.00\00:24:11.20
the one who
endures until the end.
00:24:11.20\00:24:14.83
Who is the King of Glory,
the Lord strong and mighty?
00:24:14.83\00:24:19.80
Who is the King of Glory,
the Lord mighty in battle?
00:24:19.80\00:24:23.96
Lift up your hands, o ye
gates, and the King of Glory
00:24:23.96\00:24:32.70
shall σσσσ for just
a little while longer.
00:24:32.70\00:24:38.43
The dead in Christ
are going to rise first.
00:24:38.43\00:24:40.36
Then we which are alive and
remain are going to be caught
00:24:40.36\00:24:42.43
up to meet the Lord in the
air, and so shall we ever be
00:24:42.43\00:24:44.60
with the Lord.
00:24:44.60\00:24:45.26
Comfort one
another with these words.
00:24:45.26\00:24:49.46
You think that
life has got you down?
00:24:49.46\00:24:56.16
Don't worry.
00:24:56.16\00:25:02.06
There is someone who sees
and cares, and he hears the
00:25:02.06\00:25:11.03
simplest prayer.
00:25:11.03\00:25:12.26
There is no problem that
he will not help you bear.
00:25:12.26\00:25:19.90
I want to encourage you today.
00:25:19.90\00:25:20.50
Superman is
coming to the rescue.
00:25:20.50\00:25:24.10
And he won't leave you,
he won't leave you alone.
