? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:01.33\00:00:11.73
? oh yes, he's worthy
? ? worthy of all... ?
00:00:11.73\00:00:18.96
? all the praise ? ? (Music) ?
00:00:18.96\00:00:22.90
Pastor Byrd: God,
tonight we pray a day
00:00:22.90\00:00:25.16
for the power
of your Holy Ghost.
00:00:25.16\00:00:26.60
We ask that, God, you would
come in this place tonight.
00:00:26.60\00:00:28.86
Lord, you be the teacher.
00:00:28.86\00:00:31.13
God, we are your students.
00:00:31.13\00:00:33.60
Your Bible is our
textbook and our destination
00:00:33.60\00:00:38.96
goal is heaven.
00:00:38.96\00:00:41.20
So, hide me behind your
cross, forgive us our sins
00:00:41.20\00:00:43.26
and, God, give a us hunger
and a thirsting for you Word.
00:00:43.26\00:00:45.96
It's in the name
Jesus we pray, begging for
00:00:45.96\00:00:48.23
forgiveness of sin.
00:00:48.23\00:00:49.53
Let everyone say Amen.
00:00:49.53\00:00:50.66
And Amen.
00:00:50.66\00:00:52.60
Now, we have studied
thus far from the Word of God
00:00:52.60\00:00:56.46
that we get excited
about Jesus Christ, recognizing
00:00:56.46\00:01:03.33
that Jesus Christ is God.
00:01:03.33\00:01:06.33
Jesus Christ is what, everybody?
00:01:06.33\00:01:08.00
Because the Word of God
says in Genesis, Chapter
00:01:08.00\00:01:10.50
1:1, go there, Genesis
1:1, the Word of God says,
00:01:10.50\00:01:13.10
"In the
beginning," whom, everybody?
00:01:13.10\00:01:19.36
In the beginning, whom?
00:01:19.36\00:01:20.23
Talk to me.
00:01:20.23\00:01:21.46
In the beginning
God created the heavens
00:01:21.46\00:01:23.93
and the what?
00:01:23.93\00:01:25.03
(Aud: Earth.) Then
we go down to verse 26.
00:01:25.03\00:01:28.63
Genesis 1:26.
00:01:28.63\00:01:31.80
The Word of God, and God
said, let whom, everybody?
00:01:31.80\00:01:36.10
Let us make what?
00:01:36.10\00:01:36.90
(Aud: Man.) In our own what?
00:01:36.90\00:01:40.76
(Aud: Image.) After our what?
00:01:40.76\00:01:41.93
(Aud: Likeness.) This
points to the fact that there
00:01:41.93\00:01:44.60
are three in one
when we talk about God.
00:01:44.60\00:01:47.13
The plurality of the Godhead.
00:01:47.13\00:01:48.40
The text does not say,
and God said, let me make man
00:01:48.40\00:01:52.40
in my own image
after my own likeness.
00:01:52.40\00:01:55.26
The text says, and God
said, let whom make man?
00:01:55.26\00:01:58.70
Let us make man in our what?
00:01:58.70\00:02:01.30
Image.
00:02:01.30\00:02:02.73
After our what?
00:02:02.73\00:02:03.33
Likeness.
00:02:03.33\00:02:05.20
Pointing to three in one,
the Father, the Son and the
00:02:05.20\00:02:08.43
Holy what, everybody?
00:02:08.43\00:02:10.16
(Aud: Ghost.) They are
all working to bring about
00:02:10.16\00:02:12.36
our salvation.
00:02:12.36\00:02:13.36
Our what, everybody?
00:02:13.36\00:02:14.33
Our salvation.
00:02:14.33\00:02:16.00
So Jesus is God.
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.03
Amen?
00:02:18.03\00:02:18.86
But then we go to the New
Testament because there are
00:02:18.86\00:02:21.20
some people that say, we
want a little bit of the old,
00:02:21.20\00:02:23.80
but we want some
of the new as well.
00:02:23.80\00:02:25.46
Amen.
00:02:25.46\00:02:26.23
And so we go to
the book of John.
00:02:26.23\00:02:28.33
What book, everybody?
00:02:28.33\00:02:29.03
In the New Testament,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
00:02:29.03\00:02:34.06
We go to the book of John
and we're going to Chapter 1,
00:02:34.06\00:02:37.83
verse 1. John 1:1.
00:02:37.83\00:02:45.23
The Word of God
says, again, in the what?
00:02:45.23\00:02:48.53
(Aud: Beginning.) Now
Genesis 1:1 says, in the
00:02:48.53\00:02:51.46
beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:02:51.46\00:02:54.16
John 1:1 says, in the beginning
00:02:54.16\00:02:54.80
We skip down to verse
14 and the Bible says that
00:03:18.90\00:03:22.66
the Word became flesh.
00:03:22.66\00:03:27.20
Which means that Jesus
Christ, God the Son, became
00:03:27.20\00:03:31.50
flesh and he dwelt among us.
00:03:31.50\00:03:35.46
And so we discover from
Genesis 1:1, Genesis 1:26,
00:03:35.46\00:03:39.00
John 1:1-3 and verse 14
that Jesus, indeed, is God.
00:03:39.00\00:03:46.50
We've also shared with
you thus far that we get
00:03:46.50\00:03:49.23
excited about Jesus
because not only is he God,
00:03:49.23\00:03:51.53
but we get excited about
Jesus because Jesus saved
00:03:51.53\00:03:54.23
my soul.
00:03:54.23\00:03:56.13
That I have
salvation through Jesus Christ.
00:03:56.13\00:03:59.33
I don't know about
you, but that can make
00:03:59.33\00:04:01.20
somebody excited.
00:04:01.20\00:04:02.66
The fact that you and I,
whether you want to accept,
00:04:02.66\00:04:05.20
believe or claim
it, we're sinners.
00:04:05.20\00:04:07.20
Come on, say Amen.
00:04:07.20\00:04:08.50
All of us are
sinners saved by grace.
00:04:08.50\00:04:11.83
If it weren't for the
grace of God I would not
00:04:11.83\00:04:14.26
be here tonight.
00:04:14.26\00:04:15.73
If it weren't for the
grace of God, you would not
00:04:15.73\00:04:17.86
be here tonight.
00:04:17.86\00:04:18.93
If you have sinned
you have need of a savior.
00:04:18.93\00:04:21.76
God sent his son
Jesus to save us from sin.
00:04:21.76\00:04:25.83
Because see, Adam
and Eve messed up.
00:04:25.83\00:04:27.76
Remember we told you
that God had a dilemma.
00:04:27.76\00:04:29.56
Either he was going to
have to excuse them, excuse what
00:04:29.56\00:04:32.16
Adam and Eve had done,
or he would have to destroy
00:04:32.16\00:04:36.93
them and start all over.
00:04:36.93\00:04:38.13
Satan is waiting.
00:04:38.13\00:04:39.83
Satan is trying to see
what God is going to do,
00:04:39.83\00:04:41.80
because see, Satan has
told all these lies about God.
00:04:41.80\00:04:44.06
He wants to entrap, if
you will, God and see if God
00:04:44.06\00:04:46.66
falls into this, but God
had a plan already before
00:04:46.66\00:04:50.20
this thing got started.
00:04:50.20\00:04:51.83
Before the foundation of
the world, God had a plan.
00:04:51.83\00:04:55.03
God's plan, God sent his son.
00:04:55.03\00:04:57.50
God could have sent a
plague of flies, a plague
00:04:57.50\00:05:01.93
of frogs, but God sent his best.
00:05:01.93\00:05:06.20
God sent Jesus and
Jesus died to save you and me.
00:05:06.20\00:05:09.16
Hallelujah, somebody.
00:05:09.16\00:05:10.33
For God so loved the
world that God gave God's only
00:05:10.33\00:05:14.20
begotten Son that whosoever
believeth in him should not
00:05:14.20\00:05:16.63
what, everybody?
00:05:16.63\00:05:17.56
But have everlasting life.
00:05:17.56\00:05:19.00
For the wages of sin is what?
00:05:19.00\00:05:20.36
Death.
00:05:20.36\00:05:22.10
But the gift of God is what?
00:05:22.10\00:05:24.10
Eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
00:05:24.10\00:05:27.10
He was wounded for
our transgressions.
00:05:27.10\00:05:29.53
Bruised for our iniquity.
00:05:29.53\00:05:30.96
The chastisment of
our peace was upon him
00:05:30.96\00:05:33.56
but tonight we can proudly
say that by his stripes we
00:05:33.56\00:05:38.76
are healed tonight.
00:05:38.76\00:05:40.00
Hallelujah, somebody.
00:05:40.00\00:05:41.93
And so therefore, Jesus
came the first time as a baby
00:05:41.93\00:05:45.93
and saved us,
because blood was shed.
00:05:45.93\00:05:49.40
I told you Saturday and
Sunday night that I don't
00:05:49.40\00:05:52.46
have to a window and
confess my sins to any man.
00:05:52.46\00:05:59.66
I told you that I don't
have to go and find a lamb
00:05:59.66\00:06:02.00
from somewhere and cut
the lamb's throat, blood spill
00:06:02.00\00:06:03.80
on me, put my hand on
top of the lamb in order for
00:06:03.80\00:06:05.23
the sins to be symbolically
transferred from the sin
00:06:05.23\00:06:08.30
bearer to the sin offerer.
00:06:08.30\00:06:09.36
I don't have to do
that anymore because Jesus,
00:06:09.36\00:06:14.36
the Lamb of God,
took away my sin.
00:06:14.36\00:06:18.63
He took away your sin.
00:06:18.63\00:06:20.60
And there is no other name
in heaven whereby we can be
00:06:20.60\00:06:23.90
saved but save
the name of Jesus.
00:06:23.90\00:06:26.73
That's why I
love calling his name.
00:06:26.73\00:06:30.13
Jesus, sweetest name I know.
00:06:30.13\00:06:32.03
Jesus, I've got to tell it
wherever I go, because when
00:06:32.03\00:06:35.00
I call the name of
Jesus, demons fickle, Satan
00:06:35.00\00:06:39.20
and his imps tremble.
00:06:39.20\00:06:41.20
Let me give you
some good news tonight.
00:06:41.20\00:06:42.76
Whenever you're in a
pickle, if ever you feel
00:06:42.76\00:06:45.16
the devil is just on
you, do me a favor, just call
00:06:45.16\00:06:47.60
his name.
00:06:47.60\00:06:48.43
Just call the name Jesus.
00:06:48.43\00:06:51.16
You can call Carlton
Byrd's name, but I can't do
00:06:51.16\00:06:53.43
nothing for you.
00:06:53.43\00:06:54.70
But if you call the
name of Jesus, sooner than
00:06:54.70\00:06:58.23
right now, faster than
immediately, my Jesus will
00:06:58.23\00:07:02.23
answer your prayer.
00:07:02.23\00:07:03.86
At his first coming, the
Bible says in Matthew 1:21,
00:07:03.86\00:07:06.83
Jesus came to save his
people and she shall bring
00:07:06.83\00:07:09.86
So, when he came to this
earth, Jesus, the first time
00:07:17.80\00:07:22.00
he came as a baby.
00:07:22.00\00:07:23.46
He came to save his people.
00:07:23.46\00:07:25.93
He came to save them
from lying, save them from
00:07:25.93\00:07:28.93
killing, save them from
stealing, save them from
00:07:28.93\00:07:31.33
doubt, save
them from depression.
00:07:31.33\00:07:33.70
Jesus came to seek and
to save that which was lost.
00:07:33.70\00:07:37.96
And so the Bible
teaches that he that believes
00:07:37.96\00:07:40.93
on the Lord Jesus
Christ, he shall be saved.
00:07:40.93\00:07:43.96
But sadly tonight, even
in 2012, April 18, everybody
00:07:43.96\00:07:47.83
doesn't believe in Jesus.
00:07:47.83\00:07:51.30
Everybody doesn't
believe he's a way maker,
00:07:51.30\00:07:54.10
that he will turn
your midnight into day.
00:07:54.10\00:07:56.66
And so now we've got a
world full of strife, sin
00:07:56.66\00:07:59.76
and confusion and mess.
00:07:59.76\00:08:01.43
I told you Sunday night we
live in a world that people
00:08:01.43\00:08:03.96
say, if it feels good, do it.
00:08:03.96\00:08:05.46
Every night you
watch the news, somebody's
00:08:05.46\00:08:08.23
getting killed.
00:08:08.23\00:08:09.43
There's trouble of some sort.
00:08:09.43\00:08:11.46
The world is sick and
when somebody is sick, somebody
00:08:11.46\00:08:14.23
needs a doctor.
00:08:14.23\00:08:15.03
Doctor Jesus is coming
back one day to get his people.
00:08:15.03\00:08:18.53
The first time he
came to save his people.
00:08:18.53\00:08:21.70
But as we told you Sunday
night, the second time he's
00:08:21.70\00:08:24.86
coming to get his people.
00:08:24.86\00:08:26.80
I don't know about
you, but this is what
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.90
I'm looking forward to.
00:08:28.90\00:08:29.83
Anybody else
looking forward to that?
00:08:29.83\00:08:31.70
I said, anybody else
looking forward to that?
00:08:31.70\00:08:33.33
You don't seem
excited about looking forward
00:08:33.33\00:08:35.26
to Jesus' coming.
00:08:35.26\00:08:35.90
I don't know about
you, but I'm looking forward
00:08:35.90\00:08:37.46
to Jesus' coming.
00:08:37.46\00:08:38.36
Let me try it this way.
00:08:38.36\00:08:39.66
Anybody tired of
living paycheck to paycheck?
00:08:39.66\00:08:43.06
Oh, don't act like
you don't know what I'm
00:08:43.06\00:08:44.53
talking about.
00:08:44.53\00:08:45.20
We've got some folk up
in here that think they got
00:08:45.20\00:08:46.56
all that, then
some and a bag of chips.
00:08:46.56\00:08:50.16
Let them miss one paycheck.
00:08:50.16\00:08:50.86
Come on, say Amen.
00:08:50.86\00:08:51.73
If you're like me and
you miss one paycheck, you're
00:08:51.73\00:08:52.96
crying and calling
on the name of the Lord.
00:08:52.96\00:08:55.96
Anybody try the house notes?
00:08:55.96\00:08:56.96
Taking this
medicine, that medicine.
00:08:56.96\00:09:00.33
Anybody tired
of high gas prices.
00:09:00.33\00:09:02.23
Come on, say Amen.
00:09:02.23\00:09:03.63
One day Jesus is going to come.
00:09:03.63\00:09:06.56
Jesus is going to come
and put an end to all of this.
00:09:06.56\00:09:08.23
We read in the Word,
Matthew 24 that Jesus is
00:09:08.23\00:09:12.86
coming very soon.
00:09:12.86\00:09:14.26
The signs of his
coming, war, rumors of war,
00:09:14.26\00:09:16.63
earthquakes, pestilence
is all in diverse places.
00:09:16.63\00:09:21.16
We read that nobody knows,
according to Matthew 24:36-39,
00:09:21.16\00:09:26.86
that no one knows the
exact date of Jesus' coming.
00:09:26.86\00:09:31.26
We just know he's coming soon.
00:09:31.26\00:09:33.36
We read that his feet
will not touch the earth.
00:09:33.36\00:09:36.43
He left in the clouds, he
will return in the clouds.
00:09:36.43\00:09:41.10
And for all of those who
missed Sunday and Saturday
00:09:41.10\00:09:46.50
night, you are
now all caught up.
00:09:46.50\00:09:49.80
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:09:49.80\00:09:51.80
Let's go to work.
00:09:51.80\00:09:53.30
At Jesus' second coming
there were be four primary
00:09:53.30\00:09:59.10
groups of people.
00:09:59.10\00:10:01.00
Where we left off, right?
00:10:01.00\00:10:02.06
This was the cliffhanger.
00:10:02.06\00:10:04.60
There will be four
primary groups of people.
00:10:04.60\00:10:08.93
Let's read about group
number one again, because
00:10:08.93\00:10:10.80
repetition
deepens the impression.
00:10:10.80\00:10:12.46
Take your Bible to go
with me to First Thessalonians.
00:10:12.46\00:10:15.63
First Thessalonians, Chapter 4.
00:10:15.63\00:10:17.26
Take out your Bible.
00:10:17.26\00:10:18.20
Look it up.
00:10:18.20\00:10:18.93
If your neighbor
doesn't have a Bible, have your
00:10:18.93\00:10:21.10
neighbor look on with you.
00:10:21.10\00:10:22.63
First Thessalonians, Chapter 4.
00:10:22.63\00:10:25.10
I'll take my time
so you can find it.
00:10:25.10\00:10:26.53
That's why I want to
streamline tonight so you
00:10:26.53\00:10:28.00
can get into the Word.
00:10:28.00\00:10:29.03
Come on say Amen.
00:10:29.03\00:10:30.53
First
Thessalonians, Chapter 4:16.
00:10:30.53\00:10:34.33
If your neighbor
needs help finding it, help
00:10:34.33\00:10:36.50
him find it.
00:10:36.50\00:10:37.50
The Word of God says in
1 Thessalonians 4:16, "For
00:10:37.50\00:10:41.10
the Lord himself shall
00:10:41.10\00:10:41.56
(Aud: First.) All right.
00:10:53.43\00:10:54.83
Let's stop there.
00:10:54.83\00:10:55.73
Group number one, we
told you, Sunday night,
00:10:55.73\00:10:58.56
the righteous
dead, they rise what?
00:10:58.56\00:11:01.66
(Aud: First.) At
Jesus' second coming.
00:11:01.66\00:11:04.30
Very important for
you to understand that.
00:11:04.30\00:11:06.26
At Jesus' second coming,
the dead in Christ rise first.
00:11:06.26\00:11:11.06
With them, friends of
mine, if at his second coming
00:11:11.06\00:11:14.93
the dead in Christ rise
first, that means there must
00:11:14.93\00:11:17.86
be also a resurrection.
00:11:17.86\00:11:19.50
Because when people
rise, that's a resurrection.
00:11:19.50\00:11:25.00
So that means that at
this first resurrection which
00:11:25.00\00:11:28.26
happens at the same
time as Jesus' second coming,
00:11:28.26\00:11:31.53
the Bible teaches that
the dead in Christ are going
00:11:31.53\00:11:35.36
to rise, what?
00:11:35.36\00:11:36.20
First.
00:11:36.20\00:11:37.06
Group number two.
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.93
The righteous living.
00:11:39.93\00:11:42.46
The Bible then says
1 Thessalonians 4:17,
00:11:42.46\00:11:47.16
let's read some more.
00:11:47.16\00:11:51.33
The Bible says, "Then we
00:11:51.33\00:11:51.83
the Lord." Group number
two, the righteous living,
00:12:06.73\00:12:09.46
the Bible teaches are caught
up to meet the Lord in the,
00:12:09.46\00:12:13.60
what?
00:12:13.60\00:12:14.46
Air.
00:12:14.46\00:12:15.16
So then that means at
the second coming, which is
00:12:15.16\00:12:17.60
simultaneous to the
first resurrection, the dead
00:12:17.60\00:12:20.66
in Christ rise what?
00:12:20.66\00:12:22.06
First.
00:12:22.06\00:12:22.86
Group number two, the
righteous living are caught
00:12:22.86\00:12:25.73
up to meet the Lord
in the what, everybody?
00:12:25.73\00:12:28.06
(Aud: Air.) Let's go
to group number three.
00:12:28.06\00:12:30.33
Second Thessalonians, Chapter 2.
00:12:30.33\00:12:34.00
Let's get some more Word.
00:12:34.00\00:12:35.20
Remember I told you, know
what you believe, know why
00:12:35.20\00:12:38.63
you believe it and
know where it's found.
00:12:38.63\00:12:41.73
It makes no sense to be
up in church, sing, shout and
00:12:41.73\00:12:44.43
sweat and you don't know
what you singing, shouting
00:12:44.43\00:12:46.83
and sweating about.
00:12:46.83\00:12:47.90
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it and know
00:12:47.90\00:12:51.33
where it's found.
00:12:51.33\00:12:53.13
Second Thessalonians,
Chapter 2 and we're going
00:12:53.13\00:12:56.63
to verse 8, 2 Thessalonians 2:8.
00:12:56.63\00:13:01.20
If you have it, let
me hear you say Amen.
00:13:01.20\00:13:03.26
"And then shall
that Wicked be" what?
00:13:03.26\00:13:05.00
unrighteousness." Let me
be clear with you tonight.
00:13:39.73\00:13:42.70
Satan is a liar.
00:13:42.70\00:13:44.16
And that's just
not preacher cliché.
00:13:44.16\00:13:47.23
That's the truth.
00:13:47.23\00:13:48.53
Satan is a liar.
00:13:48.53\00:13:50.03
Satan is a deceiver.
00:13:50.03\00:13:52.46
Bottom line, Satan
is trying to deceive you
00:13:52.46\00:13:56.00
and me because Satan
does not want us to be ready
00:13:56.00\00:13:58.36
when Jesus comes.
00:13:58.36\00:13:59.40
But Satan is just that, a
liar, and I ain't going to
00:13:59.40\00:14:02.70
hell for anybody.
00:14:02.70\00:14:04.36
I'm going to know what I
believe, why I believe it,
00:14:04.36\00:14:06.70
where it's found.
00:14:06.70\00:14:08.26
The Bible says here in 2
Thessalonians 2:8-12 that
00:14:08.26\00:14:12.86
the wicked living or
unrighteous living will die
00:14:12.86\00:14:16.56
at the brightness
of the Lord's coming.
00:14:16.56\00:14:20.80
Now, that's why I told
you Sunday night, take my time
00:14:20.80\00:14:22.66
and look at the light.
00:14:22.66\00:14:26.00
Because I'm
practicing looking at light.
00:14:26.00\00:14:27.86
Come on, say Amen, everybody.
00:14:27.86\00:14:29.73
If you can't turn
around and look at the light,
00:14:29.73\00:14:31.60
something wrong with you.
00:14:31.60\00:14:32.63
Get it right.
00:14:32.63\00:14:34.73
All right.
00:14:34.73\00:14:35.33
Group number three, the
wicked or the unrighteous
00:14:35.33\00:14:37.93
living die at the brightness
of his what, everybody?
00:14:37.93\00:14:40.30
Coming.
00:14:40.30\00:14:41.20
Now we come to where
we're really going to deal
00:14:41.20\00:14:43.83
with some stuff tonight.
00:14:43.83\00:14:44.70
Go to Revelation 20.
00:14:44.70\00:14:47.46
Let's go to Revelation.
00:14:47.46\00:14:48.60
A lot of people don't
like to study the Book
00:14:48.60\00:14:50.53
of Revelation
because they're scared of it.
00:14:50.53\00:14:52.93
But that's just
the mask of Satan.
00:14:52.93\00:14:55.90
He wants you to think you
can't understand Revelation.
00:14:55.90\00:14:58.30
But let me tell you this.
00:14:58.30\00:15:00.56
Faith comes with
my hearing, hearing by
00:15:00.56\00:15:03.66
the Word of God.
00:15:03.66\00:15:04.26
So we take our time.
00:15:04.26\00:15:05.10
Revelation 20:5.
00:15:05.10\00:15:06.56
The Word says, "But
the rest of the" what?
00:15:06.56\00:15:13.53
So stop there.
00:15:19.66\00:15:20.50
We read then, the
wicked dead will remain what?
00:15:20.50\00:15:23.06
(Aud: Dead.) For how long?
00:15:23.06\00:15:24.66
Come on, how long?
00:15:24.66\00:15:25.66
(Aud: Thousand
years.) All right.
00:15:25.66\00:15:28.53
This is the what resurrection?
00:15:28.53\00:15:29.40
(Aud: First.) Which
means, friends, read the Bible.
00:15:29.40\00:15:32.20
If the Bible says this
is the first resurrection,
00:15:32.20\00:15:36.36
that must mean it
suggests there's more than one
00:15:36.36\00:15:39.66
resurrection.
00:15:39.66\00:15:40.70
Are you hearing what I'm saying.
00:15:40.70\00:15:43.63
If the Bible says this
is the first resurrection,
00:15:43.63\00:15:47.06
then that means there must
be more than one resurrection.
00:15:47.06\00:15:51.20
Now, we told you earlier
that first resurrection was
00:15:51.20\00:15:53.40
a good thing because the
dead in Christ rise what?
00:15:53.40\00:15:55.93
First.
00:15:55.93\00:15:57.63
So then group number
one, the righteous dead rise
00:15:57.63\00:15:59.76
what?
00:15:59.76\00:16:00.90
First.
00:16:00.90\00:16:02.33
Group number two, the
righteous living are caught
00:16:02.33\00:16:04.33
up to meet the Lord in the what?
00:16:04.33\00:16:06.36
(Aud: Air.) Group
number three, the wicked or the
00:16:06.36\00:16:07.70
unrighteous living die at
the brightness of his what?
00:16:07.70\00:16:09.16
(Aud: Coming.) And
group number four, the wicked
00:16:09.16\00:16:11.76
dead remain what?
00:16:11.76\00:16:12.53
(Aud: Dead.) Until the
thousand years are what?
00:16:12.53\00:16:14.33
Finished.
00:16:14.33\00:16:15.10
Now, remember I told
you, we teach you and then we
00:16:15.10\00:16:21.40
preach and celebrate on the end.
00:16:21.40\00:16:24.66
It's my baptized brain
that makes me want to shout.
00:16:24.66\00:16:27.96
You're going to yell and
holler, say something worth
00:16:27.96\00:16:29.66
yelling and hollering about.
00:16:29.66\00:16:31.60
Now, if the righteous
dead rise first at the second
00:16:31.60\00:16:39.03
coming, if the
righteous living are caught up
00:16:39.03\00:16:45.36
to meet the Lord in the air,
when an individual, your mama,
00:16:45.36\00:16:50.93
your daddy, your
grandmama, your granddaddy,
00:16:50.93\00:16:54.26
Big Mama, Pawpaw,
if they died on earth
00:16:54.26\00:17:01.96
and went to straight to
heaven, who would rise first
00:17:01.96\00:17:12.10
at Jesus' second coming?
00:17:12.10\00:17:15.50
There would be no one to
rise first because if they
00:17:15.50\00:17:18.46
were already in
heaven, who would get up?
00:17:18.46\00:17:22.73
And that would
make the Word of God out
00:17:22.73\00:17:26.06
to be a lie.
00:17:26.06\00:17:28.10
God is not a
God that should lie.
00:17:28.10\00:17:31.43
The devil is a liar,
but God is not a liar.
00:17:31.43\00:17:34.26
God's Word says the dead
in Christ shall rise first.
00:17:34.26\00:17:39.40
God's Word says the righteous
living, we which are live
00:17:39.40\00:17:43.13
and remain will be what?
00:17:43.13\00:17:44.93
Caught up to meet
the Lord in the what?
00:17:44.93\00:17:46.50
Air.
00:17:46.50\00:17:47.60
So Big Mama and
Pawpaw, they are not in heaven.
00:17:47.60\00:17:53.26
They are not
looking down at you.
00:17:53.26\00:17:59.03
Go back to 1
Thessalonians, go to Chapter 4,
00:17:59.03\00:18:02.56
go to verse 18.
00:18:02.56\00:18:04.93
I'm trying to
give you some Word.
00:18:04.93\00:18:07.13
You don't get
this everywhere else.
00:18:07.13\00:18:08.20
Come on, say Amen.
00:18:08.20\00:18:08.90
And you're getting
this free of charge.
00:18:08.90\00:18:10.13
I can't get a
witness up in this place.
00:18:10.13\00:18:12.30
First Thessalonians 4:18.
00:18:12.30\00:18:14.60
Go there.
00:18:14.60\00:18:15.90
The Bible says: "Wherefore
comfort one another with
00:18:15.90\00:18:21.46
these words." So what happens
is, you go into a church,
00:18:21.46\00:18:25.96
preacher standing up
here, and casket laid here.
00:18:25.96\00:18:34.06
Mama's in a better place.
00:18:34.06\00:18:37.46
Mama's in that casket
sleeping, waiting until
00:18:37.46\00:18:39.73
the voice of the life giver,
for the Lord himself shall
00:18:39.73\00:18:46.13
descend from
heaven with a shout.
00:18:46.13\00:18:47.86
Now, Friday night I'm
going to talk some more on this,
00:18:47.86\00:18:49.63
from the Word.
00:18:49.63\00:18:50.60
But you'll say, well,
Pastor Byrd, I never knew that.
00:18:50.60\00:18:52.53
Who told you otherwise?
00:18:52.53\00:18:53.66
Where did you read in
the Word of God otherwise?
00:18:53.66\00:19:01.46
Now, we read the Word of
God and the Word of God says
00:19:01.46\00:19:03.80
the dead in Christ rise what?
00:19:03.80\00:19:04.90
First.
00:19:04.90\00:19:05.66
We read in the Word of
God, then we which are alive,
00:19:05.66\00:19:07.53
the righteous living, are
caught up to meet the Lord
00:19:07.53\00:19:09.46
in the what?
00:19:09.46\00:19:10.20
Air.
00:19:10.20\00:19:10.80
We read that the wicked
or the unrighteous living die
00:19:10.80\00:19:12.60
at the brightness of his what?
00:19:12.60\00:19:13.53
Coming.
00:19:13.53\00:19:14.43
And then we read that
wicked dead remain what?
00:19:14.43\00:19:17.03
Dead.
00:19:17.03\00:19:20.76
That's what the Bible says.
00:19:20.76\00:19:25.13
That's the gospel
according to the Word of God.
00:19:25.13\00:19:31.63
Not the gospel according
to Pastor Carlton Byrd.
00:19:31.63\00:19:33.00
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:19:33.00\00:19:34.63
All right, let's go
and let's get some more.
00:19:34.63\00:19:36.13
Every night we
go deeper, deeper.
00:19:36.13\00:19:37.50
Friday night we're
going to talk more about this.
00:19:37.50\00:19:38.93
Let's go deeper.
00:19:38.93\00:19:39.70
The Bible says that this
is the first resurrection,
00:19:39.70\00:19:42.73
which suggests
there has to be more than
00:19:42.73\00:19:45.10
one resurrection.
00:19:45.10\00:19:46.30
Christ's second coming
signals the beginning of
00:19:46.30\00:19:50.26
the millennium.
00:19:50.26\00:19:51.96
Everybody say millennium.
00:19:51.96\00:19:53.10
Millennium means
one thousand years.
00:19:53.10\00:19:56.90
Christ's second coming,
this first resurrection,
00:19:56.90\00:19:59.93
begins the millennium.
00:19:59.93\00:20:02.50
So right here we have
Christ, Jesus' second coming,
00:20:02.50\00:20:06.40
where he's coming
back to get his people.
00:20:06.40\00:20:09.33
The dead in Christ rise
first, then we which are alive
00:20:09.33\00:20:12.16
and remain are what?
00:20:12.16\00:20:13.30
Caught up to meet
the Lord in the air.
00:20:13.30\00:20:15.13
The wicked living die at
the brightness of his coming.
00:20:15.13\00:20:18.40
The wicked dead remain
dead for how long, everybody?
00:20:18.40\00:20:21.83
(Aud: A thousand years.)
This starts the millennium.
00:20:21.83\00:20:25.06
This starts the thousand years.
00:20:25.06\00:20:27.06
Well, that makes sense.
00:20:27.06\00:20:29.76
Let's read again.
00:20:29.76\00:20:30.93
Revelation 20:5, the
Word of God says, but the rest
00:20:30.93\00:20:34.23
of the dead live not
again until the thousand years
00:20:34.23\00:20:36.50
were finished.
00:20:36.50\00:20:37.30
This is the first resurrection.
00:20:37.30\00:20:38.66
Blessed and what?
00:20:38.66\00:20:42.36
Come on, blessed and what?
00:20:42.36\00:20:44.16
(Aud: Holy.) Is he that has
part in the what resurrection?
00:20:44.16\00:20:46.10
First resurrection.
00:20:46.10\00:20:46.83
That's why I
told you Sunday night.
00:20:46.83\00:20:49.53
If I could die in the
Lord I just want to at this
00:20:49.53\00:20:51.73
first resurrection, I
just want to rise first.
00:20:51.73\00:20:54.96
Thank you, Lord, that I'm here.
00:20:54.96\00:20:56.50
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:20:56.50\00:20:58.56
I'm not sitting
around listening, why isn't
00:20:58.56\00:21:00.43
he there, why isn't she there.
00:21:00.43\00:21:01.03
I'm just thanking God I'm there.
00:21:01.03\00:21:03.00
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:21:03.00\00:21:04.46
"Blessed and holy is he
that hath part in the first
00:21:04.46\00:21:05.96
resurrection: on
such the second" what?
00:21:05.96\00:21:11.06
Come on, the second what?
00:21:11.06\00:21:12.80
Second death hath no what?
00:21:12.80\00:21:15.10
(Aud: Power.) Stop,
understand what you're reading.
00:21:15.10\00:21:17.63
If the Bible says second death,
that suggests to me it's more
00:21:17.63\00:21:20.03
than one death.
00:21:20.03\00:21:23.60
If the second death has no
power, that tells you, that
00:21:23.60\00:21:27.76
tells me that
there's more than one death.
00:21:27.76\00:21:30.86
Now, if I die once,
God knows I don't want
00:21:30.86\00:21:33.03
to die twice.
00:21:33.03\00:21:34.26
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:21:34.26\00:21:37.63
If I die on this earth
here as I am, I want to live
00:21:37.63\00:21:40.10
for Jesus because I
only want to die once because
00:21:40.10\00:21:42.16
at the second coming
I've got to be a part
00:21:42.16\00:21:44.33
of the first resurrection.
00:21:44.33\00:21:46.23
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:21:46.23\00:21:48.00
All right, let's read some more.
00:21:48.00\00:21:49.50
"But they shall
be priests of" whom?
00:21:49.50\00:21:51.60
God.
00:21:51.60\00:21:52.43
"And shall reign with
him" for what, everybody?
00:21:52.43\00:21:54.26
(Aud: A thousand
years.) All right.
00:21:54.26\00:21:56.03
Let's go to our timeline.
00:21:56.03\00:21:57.93
Second coming, first
resurrection, dead in Christ
00:21:57.93\00:22:02.63
rise what?
00:22:02.63\00:22:03.43
First.
00:22:03.43\00:22:04.43
Righteous living are
caught up to meet the Lord
00:22:04.43\00:22:06.96
in the what?
00:22:06.96\00:22:07.70
(Aud: Air.) The
wicked dead remain what?
00:22:07.70\00:22:10.23
Dead.
00:22:10.23\00:22:11.23
And the wicked
living die at the brightness
00:22:11.23\00:22:12.76
of his what?
00:22:12.76\00:22:13.43
Coming.
00:22:13.43\00:22:14.43
The righteous who rose
first or were caught up
00:22:14.43\00:22:18.30
to meet the Lord in the
air, the Bible says they shall
00:22:18.30\00:22:21.23
be priests of God and
reign with God for how long?
00:22:21.23\00:22:24.06
(Aud: A thousand
years.) So they reign with God,
00:22:24.06\00:22:26.83
the righteous do,
for a thousand years,
00:22:26.83\00:22:29.13
and the wicked are what?
00:22:29.13\00:22:30.50
Dead until the end
of the thousand what?
00:22:30.50\00:22:33.53
Years.
00:22:33.53\00:22:35.96
That's where
you're sure there are two
00:22:35.96\00:22:37.63
resurrections.
00:22:37.63\00:22:38.23
The Word of God
never contradicts itself.
00:22:38.23\00:22:39.23
Go with me.
00:22:39.23\00:22:40.20
Hold Revelation 20.
00:22:40.20\00:22:41.40
Put a bookmark there.
00:22:41.40\00:22:42.50
Getting some Word now.
00:22:42.50\00:22:43.20
Getting some scripture.
00:22:43.20\00:22:44.26
Go with me to the
Book of John, Chapter 5,
00:22:44.26\00:22:47.53
verse 28 and 29.
00:22:47.53\00:22:49.50
Know what you believe,
know why you believe it,
00:22:49.50\00:22:50.96
know where it's found.
00:22:50.96\00:22:52.30
Ironically, John the
Revelator wrote Revelation.
00:22:52.30\00:22:55.26
John the
Revelator also wrote John.
00:22:55.26\00:22:57.76
John 5.
00:22:57.76\00:22:58.90
John what, everybody.
00:22:58.90\00:23:00.20
Now, put a
bookmark in Revelation 20
00:23:00.20\00:23:02.00
because we're coming back.
00:23:02.00\00:23:02.53
John 5:28, the Word of
God says, "Marvel not at this:
00:23:02.53\00:23:11.56
(Aud: Voice.)
Let's stop right there.
00:23:22.53\00:23:25.03
Shall hear his what?
00:23:25.03\00:23:26.00
(Aud: Voice.) "And shall
come forth; they that have
00:23:26.00\00:23:27.30
done good, unto the
resurrection of" what?
00:23:27.30\00:23:29.03
(Aud: Life.) "And they
that have done evil, unto the
00:23:29.03\00:23:31.00
resurrection of damnation."
00:23:31.00\00:23:32.26
Now let's stop there.
00:23:32.26\00:23:32.73
The Bible says in essence
there are going to be two
00:23:32.73\00:23:36.06
resurrections.
00:23:36.06\00:23:36.90
The hour is coming where
all that are in the graves
00:23:36.90\00:23:39.50
shall hear his voice.
00:23:39.50\00:23:42.20
You know what that
teaches me right there?
00:23:42.20\00:23:43.90
Understand what you're reading.
00:23:43.90\00:23:45.63
The devil doesn't
have resurrection, why?
00:23:45.63\00:23:48.60
The Bible says all
that are in the graves shall
00:23:48.60\00:23:50.53
hear his voice.
00:23:50.53\00:23:51.60
So don't let anybody
be deceived tonight that
00:23:51.60\00:23:55.13
the devil can call
you from the grave.
00:23:55.13\00:23:58.23
The devil didn't create you,
the devil can't recreate you,
00:23:58.23\00:24:02.06
the devil can't call
anybody from the grave.
00:24:02.06\00:24:07.96
All that are in the
grave shall hear his voice
00:24:07.96\00:24:11.40
because he says, I
am the Resurrection.
00:24:11.40\00:24:15.10
And the what, everybody?
00:24:15.10\00:24:17.10
(Aud: Life.) So,
two resurrections.
00:24:17.10\00:24:18.93
One good one, one bad one.
00:24:18.93\00:24:21.13
All right.
00:24:21.13\00:24:23.50
Go back to Revelation.
00:24:23.50\00:24:25.53
Now, we discovered
this, true or false?
00:24:25.53\00:24:31.13
That the second coming
and first resurrection happen
00:24:31.13\00:24:33.23
at the same time?
00:24:33.23\00:24:34.40
I'm doing all this
sweating and teaching up here
00:24:34.40\00:24:38.36
and you all looking at
me like I lost my mind.
00:24:38.36\00:24:39.73
Let's try that one more time.
00:24:39.73\00:24:41.56
Let me use another word.
00:24:41.56\00:24:44.06
The second coming of
Jesus and the first resurrection
00:24:44.06\00:24:47.56
happen
simultaneously, true or false?
00:24:47.56\00:24:50.03
(Aud: True.)
Right, I feel better now.
00:24:50.03\00:24:52.36
And at the second coming
of Christ, the dead in Christ
00:24:52.36\00:24:57.56
rise what?
00:24:57.56\00:24:58.50
(Aud: First.) The
righteous living are caught up
00:24:58.50\00:25:01.46
to meet the Lord in the what?
00:25:01.46\00:25:02.66
(Aud: Air.) The
wicked dead remain what?
00:25:02.66\00:25:05.30
(Aud: Dead.) The wicked
living die at the brightness of
00:25:05.30\00:25:10.66
his what?
00:25:10.66\00:25:11.56
(Aud: Coming.) Then we
discover that the righteous
00:25:11.56\00:25:13.73
reign with Christ for how long?
00:25:13.73\00:25:15.20
(Aud: A thousand years.)
The wicked are dead on this
00:25:15.20\00:25:20.60
earth for how long?
00:25:20.60\00:25:21.03
A thousand years.
00:25:21.03\00:25:21.73
At the end of the one
thousand years there's
00:25:21.73\00:25:23.56
another resurrection.
00:25:23.56\00:25:24.36
Are you following me?
00:25:24.36\00:25:25.80
Are you with me, everybody?
00:25:25.80\00:25:26.50
The period in
between the second coming
00:25:26.50\00:25:29.10
and the first resurrection
and the second resurrection
00:25:29.10\00:25:33.30
is what we call
the millennium ...
00:25:33.30\00:25:36.26
It's an age-old question.
00:25:36.26\00:25:37.76
What happens after we die?
00:25:37.76\00:25:39.46

00:28:00.73\00:28:06.56
The devil doesn't
have resurrection power.
00:28:07.43\00:28:12.36
The Bible says all that
are in the graves shall hear
00:28:12.36\00:28:14.60
his voice.
00:28:14.60\00:28:15.26
So don't let anybody be
deceived tonight that the
00:28:15.26\00:28:17.33
devil can call
you from the grave.
00:28:17.33\00:28:20.03
The devil didn't
create you, the devil can't
00:28:20.03\00:28:23.40
recreate you, the devil
can't call anybody from the
00:28:23.40\00:28:25.96
grave.
00:28:25.96\00:28:27.83
all that are in the grave shall
00:28:27.83\00:28:28.83
