This starts the millennium. 03:13 This starts the thousand years. 03:17 Well, that makes sense. 03:17 Let's read again. 03:18 Revelation 20:5, the Word of God says, but the rest 03:23 of the dead live not again until the thousand years 03:25 were finished. 03:25 This is the first resurrection. 03:26 Blessed and what? 03:28 Come on, blessed and what? 03:30 (Aud: Holy.) Is he that has part in the what resurrection? 03:35 That's why I told you Sunday night. 03:37 If I could die in the Lord I just want to at this 03:39 first resurrection, I just want to rise first. 03:41 Thank you, Lord, that I'm here. 03:44 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 03:45 I'm not sitting around listening, why isn't 03:47 he there, why isn't she there. 03:48 I'm just thanking God I'm there. 03:49 Do I have a witness in this place? 03:51 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first 03:54 resurrection: on such the second" what? 03:59 Come on, the second what? 03:59 Second death hath no what? 04:02 (Aud: Power.) Stop, understand what you're reading. 04:05 If the Bible says second death, that suggests to me it's more 04:08 than one death. 04:12 If the second death has no power, that tells you, that 04:15 tells me that there's more than one death. 04:19 Now, if I die once, God knows I don't want 04:21 to die twice. 04:24 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 04:25 If I die on this earth here as I am, I want to live 04:28 for Jesus because I only want to die once because 04:30 at the second coming I've got to be a part 04:32 of the first resurrection. 04:34 Are you hearing what I'm saying? 04:36 All right, let's read some more. 04:38 "But they shall be priests of" whom? 04:40 God. 04:40 "And shall reign with him" for what, everybody? 04:43 (Aud: A thousand years.) All right. 04:45 Let's go to our timeline. 04:46 Second coming, first resurrection, dead in Christ 04:50 rise what? 04:52 First. 04:53 Righteous living are caught up to meet the Lord 04:55 in the what? 04:56 (Aud: Air.) The wicked dead remain what? 04:58 Dead. 04:59 And the wicked living die at the brightness 05:00 of his what? 05:01 Coming. 05:02 The righteous who rose first or were caught up 05:06 to meet the Lord in the air, the Bible says they shall 05:09 be priests of God and reign with God for how long? 05:12 (Aud: A thousand years.) So they reign with God, 05:15 the righteous do, for a thousand years, 05:17 and the wicked are what? 05:18 Dead until the end of the thousand what? 05:21 Years. 05:22 That's where you're sure there are two 05:24 resurrections. 05:25 The Word of God never contradicts itself. 05:27 Go with me. 05:28 Hold Revelation 20. 05:29 Put a bookmark there. 05:30 Getting some Word now. 05:31 Getting some scripture. 05:32 Go with me to the Book of John, Chapter 5, 05:36 verse 28 and 29. 05:37 Know what you believe, know why you believe it, 05:39 know where it's found. 05:40 Ironically, John the Revelator wrote Revelation. 05:43 John the Revelator also wrote John. 05:46 John 5. 05:47 John what, everybody. 05:47 Now, put a bookmark in Revelation 20 05:51 because we're coming back. 05:54 John 5:28, the Word of God says, "Marvel not at this: 06:11 (Aud: Voice.) Let's stop right there. 06:12 Shall hear his what? 06:13 (Aud: Voice.) "And shall come forth; they that have 06:14 done good, unto the resurrection of" what? 06:16 (Aud: Life.) "And they that have done evil, unto the 06:19 resurrection of damnation." 06:20 Now let's stop there. 06:21 The Bible says in essence there are going to be two 06:24 resurrections. 06:25 The hour is coming where all that are in the graves 06:27 shall hear his voice. 06:30 You know what that teaches me right there? 06:31 Understand what you're reading. 06:33 The devil doesn't have resurrection, why? 06:36 The Bible says all that are in the graves shall 06:38 hear his voice. 06:40 So don't let anybody be deceived tonight that 06:43 the devil can call you from the grave. 06:46 The devil didn't create you, the devil can't recreate you, 06:50 the devil can't call anybody from the grave. 06:56 All that are in the grave shall hear his voice 06:59 because he says, I am the Resurrection. 07:03 And the what, everybody? 07:05 (Aud: Life.) So, two resurrections. 07:07 One good one, one bad one. 07:11 All right. 07:11 Go back to Revelation. 07:13 Now, we discovered this, true or false? 07:19 That the second coming and first resurrection happen 07:21 at the same time? 07:25 I'm doing all this sweating and teaching up here 07:26 and you all looking at me like I lost my mind. 07:29 Let's try that one more time. 07:30 Let me use another word. 07:32 The second coming of Jesus and the first resurrection 07:35 happen simultaneously, true or false? 07:38 (Aud: True.) Right, I feel better now. 07:43 And at the second coming of Christ, the dead in Christ 07:45 rise what? 07:46 (Aud: First.) The righteous living are caught up 07:49 to meet the Lord in the what? 07:50 (Aud: Air.) The wicked dead remain what? 07:54 (Aud: Dead.) The wicked living die at the brightness of 07:56 his what? 07:57 (Aud: Coming.) Then we discover that the righteous 08:00 reign with Christ for how long? 08:00 (Aud: A thousand years.) The wicked are dead on this 08:04 earth for how long? 08:05 A thousand years. 08:06 At the end of the one thousand years there's 08:07 another resurrection. 08:10 Are you following me? 08:12 Are you with me, everybody? 08:13 The period in between the second coming 08:17 and the first resurrection and the second resurrection 08:20 is what we call the millennium or 08:25 the one thousand years. 08:25 Now, what's this earth look like? 08:26 Go with me to the Book of Jeremiah. 08:29 Get some Word. 08:30 Know what you believe, know why you believe it, 08:33 and know where it's found. 08:35 Jeremiah, Chapter 4, Old Testament prophet. 08:39 Take your time. 08:39 Isaiah, Jeremiah. 08:41 Chapter 4, verses 23 through 26. 08:50 The Word of God says to us in Jeremiah 4:23: "I beheld 09:32 So we discovered that the earth is 09:36 without form and void. 09:37 The earth is black. 09:38 That makes sense. 09:39 It's desolate because the righteous are where? 09:41 In heaven reigning with Christ for how long? 09:45 (Aud: A thousand years.) The wicked are where? 09:47 Dead. 09:48 Here on this what, everybody? 09:49 (Aud: Earth.) Go back to Revelation 20, 09:51 let's take it home. 09:52 Revelation 20:1. 09:54 All right. 09:55 So the righteous are in heaven with Christ. 09:58 The wicked are dead here on this earth. 10:00 What's Satan doing? 10:02 What's that rascal doing? 10:04 Revelation 20:1. 10:07 The Word of God says, 10:49 Oh, I love me some Jesus. 10:49 This is getting good, because I'm processing 10:51 the thought before I tell you. 10:52 Do I have a witness in this place? 10:54 Understand, the righteous are in heaven during 10:57 the one thousand years with Jesus Christ. 10:59 They are reigning with Christ. 11:01 The wicked are dead here on this what? 11:02 Earth. 11:03 The Bible says Satan is bound. 11:05 Satan is shut up. 11:08 The Bible says Satan can do nothing. 11:11 Why is Satan bound? 11:11 Why is Satan shut up? 11:13 Why can Satan not deceive? 11:14 Because there's nobody for him to deceive. 11:21 The righteous are where? 11:23 (Aud: In heaven.) The wicked are what? 11:24 (Aud: Dead.) Here on this what? 11:25 (Aud: Earth.) So he can't deceive them, that's for 11:27 anybody, because you're either in heaven 11:31 or you're on earth dead. 11:32 Do I have a witness in this place? 11:36 What are the righteous doing? 11:37 Revelation 20:4: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon 11:40 them, and judgment was given unto them: 11:42 and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded 11:43 for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, 11:46 and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, 11:48 neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, 11:50 or in their hands; and they lived and reigned 11:52 with Christ" for how many years, everybody? 11:54 (Aud: A thousand years.) Go to verse 12: "And I saw 12:21 The righteous during the one thousand years 12:24 are reigning with Christ in heaven, participating 12:27 in judgment. 12:31 We call this the one-thousand-year judgment 12:34 or the millennial judgment. 12:36 We call it that because during the millennium 12:39 the righteous are participating in judgment. 12:42 The righteous are looking over the books to see just 12:45 how everyone has received their just rewards. 12:47 The righteous are looking over the books because 12:49 the righteous are able to see that God was fair, God was 12:52 just, God was loving with everybody, because, 12:55 remember, one of Satan's claims back in the day 12:58 in heaven was that God was unfair, that God was unjust, 13:01 the God was not right. 13:03 So for the benefit of the righteous, the righteous 13:07 will be able to look over the books for that 13:10 one-thousand-year period and see that God 13:12 was not willing that any should perish but that all should 13:16 come to repentance and everyone has received 13:17 their just reward based on a choice they made. 13:27 Well, I'm going to throw this in free of charge. 13:32 It's very important. 13:33 I want everybody to listen to me, young and old. 13:37 It's very important that we live today for Jesus. 13:39 That we live today, every day, as if it were our 13:44 last, because I wish I had time and maybe throughout 13:47 the revival I'll share more about this, because right 13:49 now there's a judgment going on. 13:54 And it's for the benefit of the angels and they're 14:01 looking at us to see if we're really living what 14:04 we're professing to be. 14:05 And the challenge is, we have to live every day 14:11 as if it were our last, is because none of us know 14:15 when his judgment commences. 14:18 And it could end and the book be closed on us 14:22 and our fate sealed. 14:25 That's why every day we've got to live for Jesus Christ. 14:33 So, then we have second coming, first resurrection. 14:39 Dead in Christ rise what? 14:40 First. 14:42 The Bible says in Revelation 22:12: "he that 14:44 is holy, let him be holy still." "He that is righteous, 14:50 let him be righteous still." 14:51 "And, behold," Jesus says, 14:53 "I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man," 14:55 every woman, "according as his work 14:58 shall be." So the righteous are participating in judgment. 15:03 What happens at the end of the millennium? 15:06 We know that the wicked are resurrected. 15:09 The wicked are what, everybody? 15:11 Resurrected. 15:12 Go back to Revelation 21:2. 15:15 This is what happens at the end of the millennium. 15:19 "And I John," Revelation 21:2, 16:06 Oh, yes. 16:10 At the end of the one thousand years, the Bible 16:14 teaches that the holy city, the new Jerusalem, 16:18 will descend and the Bible says, 16:22 this time there will be a third coming. 16:27 A third coming of Jesus. 16:29 But this time, at the third coming, Jesus is coming 16:33 back with his people. 16:39 First coming, he came to save his people. 16:44 Second coming, he comes to get his people. 16:49 But at the third coming, he's coming back 16:52 with his people. 16:57 At the second coming, first resurrection, dead 17:01 in Christ rise first, righteous living are caught 17:06 up to meet the Lord in the what? 17:08 (Aud: Air.) The wicked living die at the brightness 17:10 of his what? 17:11 (Aud: Coming.) The wicked dead remain what? 17:13 (Aud: Dead.) The righteous are with Christ for how long? 17:16 (Aud: A thousand years.) The wicked are dead here 17:18 on this earth for how long? 17:20 (Aud: A thousand years.) The righteous are in heaven 17:22 participating in what? 17:23 (Aud: Judgment.) At the end of the one thousand years 17:26 there's another resurrection, but this resurrection 17:28 is a resurrection of the what? 17:30 Wicked. 17:31 But at this resurrection, second resurrection, third 17:37 coming, a new Jerusalem begins to descend out 17:44 of heaven and Jesus is coming back with his people. 17:51 So what happens to Satan after the one thousand 17:54 years are finished? 17:55 After the thousand years are finished, the righteous 17:57 are complete with judgment, the wicked are resurrected, 17:58 what happens to Satan? 18:00 The Word of God says in Revelation, Chapter 20, 18:03 verse 7: "And when 18:25 Now, Satan, listen to me y'all, 18:31 Satan is loosed out of his prison. 18:35 Why is he no longer bound? 18:36 Because now he can deceive. 18:37 He can now deceive because the wicked 18:41 at the end of the one thousand years 18:43 have been resurrected. 18:45 What is one of his greatest deceptive lines of that time? 18:47 I resurrected you. 18:52 Think about it. 18:54 The wicked have been resurrected. 18:55 They don't see anyone else but this. 18:57 Satan is now walking around. 18:58 I've got resurrection power. 18:59 I've resurrected you. 19:00 But because we are God-fearing, Bible teaching 19:04 people, we know Satan can't resurrect anybody, because 19:06 John 5: 28-29 says the hour is coming when all that are 19:10 in the grave shall hear his voice. 19:12 We know Satan can't resurrect anybody. 19:15 Satan can't do that and Satan is an imposter 19:17 because we read Sunday night that Jesus' feet will 19:20 not touch this earth, because Jesus left in a cloud, 19:23 Jesus will return in a cloud. 19:25 So if somebody's walking around, talking about 19:27 they resurrected somebody on this earth, you know it's 19:29 a lie from the pits of hell, because Jesus will not 19:31 touch this earth and nobody but Jesus 19:34 has resurrection power. 19:36 Satan was a lot of us. 19:45 I don't like that. 19:48 Is a lot of them. 19:52 He says, because the Bible says is as the number of 19:55 the sand of the sea. 20:00 Satan says that we can capture this holy city. 20:06 Verse 9 (Aud: Revelation 20): 20:20 Remember, there's only two ways you can clean something. 20:24 If you wash it or you burn it. 20:27 At the flood the Lord washed it. 20:30 But it won't be water, but fire next time. 20:33 At the third coming, the Lord's going to burn 20:35 this place down. 20:38 Verse 10: "And the devil 20:50 What is this fire called? 20:50 Go down to verse 14: 20:57 the second what? 21:04 All right. 21:05 For the past hour this is what I've been trying to tell you. 21:08 At Jesus' second coming, the dead in Christ 21:12 have risen first. 21:14 The righteous living are caught up to meet the Lord 21:16 in the air. 21:18 The wicked living will die at the brightness 21:20 of the Lord's coming. 21:21 The wicked dead will remain what? 21:23 Dead. 21:25 The righteous will live and reign with Christ for how long? 21:27 (Aud: A thousand years.) And during this 21:30 one-thousand-year period they will participate in what? 21:32 (Aud: Judgment.) The wicked will be what? 21:34 (Aud: Dead.) Here on this what? 21:35 (Aud: Earth.) Satan will not be able to deceive 21:37 or do anything because the wicked will be what? 21:39 (Aud: Dead.) At the end of one thousand years Satan 21:42 will be loosed out of his prison because the wicked 21:44 will be what, everybody? 21:45 Resurrected. 21:46 The new Jerusalem will come down out of heaven 21:49 as a bride adorned for her husband, Jesus coming back 21:52 with his saints. 21:54 Satan will deceive the wicked into thinking that they 21:57 can overcome Jesus and the holy city. 22:00 They encircle the city, the Lord God rains down fire, 22:04 Satan, his imps, the wicked, they are destroyed forever 22:10 and the biblical definition of forever is as long 22:12 as one shall live. 22:14 It is not what people think, eternal torment. 22:18 That people just going to be burning forever 22:21 and ever and ever. 22:22 As long as one shall live, according to 22:24 1 Samuel 1:22 and 28. 22:29 Now, stay with me. 22:33 At the third coming, at the second resurrection, 22:39 which happens simultaneous with the third coming, this will 22:44 be a special time in earth history. 22:51 This will be the only time, at the third coming 22:54 and the second resurrection, this will be the only time in 23:00 earth history where everyone who has ever lived, 23:03 we will all be alive at the same time. 23:06 Think about that. 23:13 Because the righteous will be come down out of heaven, 23:15 the wicked will be resurrected. 23:17 Now you ask the question, Pastor Byrd, why would 23:20 the Lord resurrect the wicked only for them to be destroyed 23:26 again in the second death in the fire? 23:31 Pastor Byrd, what sense does it make for the Lord 23:35 to resurrect wicked folk only for these same wicked 23:39 folk to die again because we can't pray them 23:40 out of wickedness? 23:46 That's why I love me some Jesus. 23:49 Because Jesus dots every "i" and crosses every "t." 23:53 The reason why we all have to be alive at the same 23:57 time, the reason why the wicked dead have to be 24:00 resurrected again is because the prophecy must come to pass 24:04 that one day every knee is going to bow, 24:09 that every tongue--you all don't hear me in this place 24:12 tonight--that every tongue must confess that Jesus 24:19 Christ is Lord. 24:22 So at the same time those folk that laughed at you 24:25 because you came to the revival, those folk 24:28 that ridiculed Jesus because Jesus saved them from 24:31 their sins, they have to behold Jesus in all of his glory 24:36 because every knee is going to bow, every tongue--oh, I 24:40 can't get a witness in this place--that Jesus Christ is 24:46 Lord. 24:46 He is Lord. 24:48 He is Lord. 24:49 He is risen from the grave and he is Lord. 24:53 Every knee shall bow. 24:56 Every tongue must confess that Jesus Christ is the, 25:02 hallelujah, home at last. 25:04 The redeemed are home at last. 25:07 At his first coming, he came to save his people. 25:11 At his second coming, he's coming to get his people. 25:15 At his third coming, he's coming back 25:19 with his people. 25:20 Ride on, King Jesus. 25:25 No man can hinder thee Ride on, King Jesus. 25:31 I've got a home up in that kingdom. 25:33 That's good news. 25:34 Preaching time now. 25:36 I said, I've got a home up in that kingdom. 25:39 That's good news. 25:41 There's going to be no more dying there, no crime 25:43 there, no sickness there, no high blood pressure 25:48 there, no high gas prices there, no this, no that, 25:52 no night there. 26:03 He's Lord. 26:08 He is Lord. 26:12 Everybody must see it. 26:16 All those that laugh, all those that mock, all those 26:25 that ridicule, they must see he is Lord. 26:31 The Breath of Life gift offer this week is "What 26:33 the Bible Says About Death." 26:35 Just call our toll-free number: 877-BOL-OFFER. 26:40 That's 877-265-6333. 26:43 "What the Bible Says About Death", is yours for a gift 26:45 of $5 or more. 26:47 Please have your credit card ready when you call. 26:50 Or you may write us to request your copy. 26:52 Just send your check to Breath of Life, P.O.
