PB:  The Bible says in
Revelation 20, verse number 7,
00:00:20.45\00:00:25.99
“And when the thousand years are
expired, Satan shall be loosed
00:00:26.02\00:00:30.76
out of his prison, And shall go
out to deceive the nations which
00:00:30.79\00:00:35.46
are in the four quarters
of the earth, Gog, and Magog,
00:00:35.50\00:00:37.83
to gather them together to
battle: the number of whom is
00:00:37.87\00:00:41.74
as the sand of the sea. And
they went up on the breadth of
00:00:41.77\00:00:46.17
the earth, and compassed
the camp of the saints about,
00:00:46.21\00:00:48.58
and the beloved city: and
fire came down from God out of
00:00:48.61\00:00:52.98
heaven, and devoured them. And
the devil that deceived them was
00:00:53.01\00:00:55.92
cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and
00:00:55.95\00:01:00.12
the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night
00:01:00.16\00:01:03.53
for ever and ever. And I
saw a great white throne,
00:01:03.56\00:01:07.93
and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and
00:01:07.96\00:01:11.73
the heaven fled away; and there
was found no place for them.
00:01:11.77\00:01:14.37
And I saw the dead, small
and great, stand before God;
00:01:14.40\00:01:17.81
and the books were opened:
and another book was opened,
00:01:17.84\00:01:19.77
which is the book of life:
and the dead were judged out
00:01:19.81\00:01:22.31
of those things which were
written in the books, according
00:01:22.34\00:01:25.68
to their works. And the sea gave
up the dead which were in it;
00:01:25.71\00:01:29.62
and death and hell delivered
up the dead which were in them:
00:01:29.65\00:01:31.79
and they were judged every
man according to their works.
00:01:31.82\00:01:36.12
And death and hell were
cast into the lake of fire.
00:01:36.16\00:01:40.43
This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found
00:01:40.46\00:01:48.27
written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.”
00:01:48.30\00:01:55.18
The day the devil gets evicted.
00:01:55.21\00:02:03.42
Lord, bless us. Speak to us.
Hide me behind Your cross, in
00:02:03.45\00:02:20.54
Jesus' name. Amen. The
proliferation of material
regarding the devil land
00:02:20.57\00:02:29.08
demonology has skyrocketed in
recent years. In magazines and
00:02:29.11\00:02:36.75
in pamphlets, on the Internet,
radio, television, demonology,
00:02:36.79\00:02:44.96
interest in the devil or the
study of the devil, has become
00:02:44.99\00:02:51.77
rampant. I don't know if you're
heard, but on January 25, 2016,
00:02:51.80\00:02:58.61
a new television show called
“Lucifer” will premiere on
primetime Fox television.
00:02:58.64\00:03:06.98
This show will focus on the
character Lucifer, who according
00:03:07.02\00:03:14.79
to the trailers is bored
and unhappy as the lord of hell.
00:03:14.82\00:03:20.56
So he resigns his throne
and abandons his kingdom for
00:03:20.60\00:03:26.57
the beauty of the city of
Los Angeles. Ironic, the City of
00:03:26.60\00:03:33.41
Angels. With this television
show, some are saying that
00:03:33.44\00:03:39.18
Hollywood now has overt
fellowship with Satan. In fact,
one opposition group,
00:03:39.21\00:03:45.95
One Mission Moms, says the
new series Lucifer will glorify
00:03:45.99\00:03:51.83
Satan as a caring,
likeable person in human flesh.
00:03:51.86\00:03:58.13
So, this group began an
online petition on May 28 of
00:03:58.17\00:04:03.54
this year protesting the
premier of this new show.
00:04:03.57\00:04:08.28
Sadly, however, as of today
only 27,000 concerned mothers
00:04:08.31\00:04:15.18
in a U.S. population of
nearly 320 million, have signed
00:04:15.22\00:04:20.06
this online petition. So
because of that, this petition
00:04:20.09\00:04:25.49
has been removed from the
One Million Moms website without
00:04:25.53\00:04:29.23
listing it as a successful
campaign. But not just that:
00:04:29.26\00:04:34.27
Two weeks ago,
October 30, 2015, to be exact,
00:04:34.30\00:04:40.34
the Greater Church of
Lucifer opened in a small
00:04:40.38\00:04:45.25
city just north of Houston,
Texas. The group's leader
00:04:45.28\00:04:49.82
says the symbol of Lucifer
is not bad, just a symbol
00:04:49.85\00:04:55.09
of spiritual
rebellion with a purpose.
00:04:55.12\00:04:59.23
How did we get the devil?
How did we get to this point?
00:04:59.26\00:05:04.47
Where did we get Lucifer?
How is it now that we live in
00:05:04.50\00:05:09.64
a world that we can have
shows called “Lucifer,” churches
00:05:09.67\00:05:12.31
named after Lucifer, and
many think it's all right?
00:05:12.34\00:05:17.11
Where did Satan come
from? Genesis 1:1 says “In the
00:05:17.15\00:05:24.09
beginning God created the
heavens and the earth.” Verse 2
00:05:24.12\00:05:27.72
says “And the earth was without
form and void. Darkness was
00:05:27.76\00:05:31.59
upon the face of the deep
and the Spirit of God moved
00:05:31.63\00:05:34.00
upon the face of the waters. We
get a lot from these two texts,
00:05:34.00\00:05:37.53
and as preachers, we
preach these two texts a lot.
00:05:37.57\00:05:40.30
But there are two things
we get from these texts in
00:05:40.34\00:05:43.67
relationship to the devil.
Number one, God created the
00:05:43.71\00:05:48.11
heavens and the earth, which
means then that the devil is a
00:05:48.14\00:05:52.71
created being. So don't you ever
put the devil even close to who
00:05:52.75\00:05:57.15
God is, because the devil is
a created being. Don't get it
00:05:57.19\00:06:01.29
twisted; the devil was not
created by the devil. All things
were created by God,
00:06:01.32\00:06:05.79
but the Bible says because
of the devil's own corruption he
00:06:05.83\00:06:11.87
became the devil. Number two,
there was no life on earth in
00:06:11.90\00:06:18.64
Genesis 1:1. The earth was
without form and void. Darkness
00:06:18.67\00:06:22.98
was upon the face of the deep.
So evil and sin, as we know it,
00:06:23.01\00:06:27.42
did not exist on planet earth in
Genesis 1:1, because there was
00:06:27.45\00:06:32.99
no life on planet earth for evil
and sin to exist in, in the
first place. But then how
00:06:33.02\00:06:38.66
do we get evil? How do we
get sin? Where did Lucifer come
00:06:38.69\00:06:48.07
from? The Bible teaches that God
was in no way responsible for
00:06:48.10\00:06:52.41
the entrance of sin. Ellen
White says, “Sin is an intruder
00:06:52.44\00:06:57.78
for whose presence no
reason can be given.” She says,
00:06:57.81\00:07:02.75
“Sin is mysterious and
unaccountable.” The Bible
00:07:02.78\00:07:07.76
teaches, however, that iniquity
was found in Lucifer. Ezekiel 28
00:07:07.79\00:07:14.20
says, “Lucifer's heart was
lifted up by his own reason of
00:07:14.20\00:07:19.47
his brightness.” Lucifer, in
Isaiah 14 says, “I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God.
00:07:19.50\00:07:24.71
I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation. I will
00:07:24.74\00:07:29.31
ascend above the heights of the
clouds. I will be like the Most
00:07:29.34\00:07:34.18
High.” And so Lucifer decides
he's going to create an angelic
00:07:34.22\00:07:40.42
coup and overthrow God's
government. But I've learned,
00:07:40.46\00:07:46.36
anytime creation tries to
war against the creator you're
00:07:46.39\00:07:52.63
asking for a loss. For the
creator is never going to lose
00:07:52.67\00:07:57.21
to His creation. Are you hearing
what I'm saying? That's why, I
00:07:57.24\00:08:00.48
don't care how old you get. I
don't care how big and bad you
00:08:00.51\00:08:06.48
think you are. Mama is still
mama. Daddy is still daddy. What
am I talking about?
00:08:06.51\00:08:12.75
Mama can be 5'2” and 100 pounds,
she can have a son 6'5”, 300
00:08:12.79\00:08:21.00
pounds, but when Mama speaks,
when Mama rises up, when Mama
00:08:21.03\00:08:29.34
lifts her hand, that grown
man-child will pipe down. That's
why loud-mouthed Larry
00:08:29.37\00:08:34.11
can become soft-talking Sammy,
because when Mama says “Boy,
00:08:34.14\00:08:38.08
you'd better do what I say.
I brought you in this world and
00:08:38.11\00:08:41.65
I'll take you out”
Sammy will say, “Yes, ma'am.”
00:08:41.68\00:08:45.55
Do I have a witness in
this place?    [Aud. reaction]
00:08:45.59\00:08:47.56
PB:  The Creator is never
going to lose to His creation.
00:08:47.59\00:08:53.09
Lucifer thought he was
going to overthrow the Creator.
00:08:53.13\00:08:57.03
He thought he was going to
overthrow our omnipotent God.
00:08:57.07\00:09:00.34
But the devil is a liar,
because there can't be two cooks
00:09:00.37\00:09:05.91
in the kitchen. Somebody had to
go. Somebody had to be expelled.
00:09:05.94\00:09:12.38
Somebody had to be ousted
and banished and expunged and
00:09:12.41\00:09:16.32
dismissed. Somebody had to be
pushed out, forced out, flushed
00:09:16.35\00:09:21.79
out and put out. Somebody had to
be evicted. And so the Bible
says in Revelation chapter 12,
00:09:21.82\00:09:28.23
“There was war in heaven.
Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon.
00:09:28.26\00:09:34.20
The dragon fought and his angels
and prevailed not, neither was
00:09:34.24\00:09:37.74
their place found anymore in
heaven. The dragon was cast out.
00:09:37.77\00:09:41.21
That old serpent called the
devil, Satan, which deceiveth
00:09:41.24\00:09:44.85
the whole world, he was cast out
into the earth and his angels
00:09:44.88\00:09:47.65
were cast out with him.”
Satan was evicted from heaven.
00:09:47.68\00:09:54.32
Now to “evict” means
you're expelling somebody from
00:09:54.36\00:09:57.86
a property. Evicted
means you're kicked out of your
00:09:57.89\00:10:02.03
home by the landlord
because you couldn't pay rent or
00:10:02.06\00:10:05.00
you were too busy causing
problems for other people.
00:10:05.03\00:10:08.44
Lucifer, Satan, had to
go. Satan was causing problems
00:10:08.47\00:10:14.08
for our heavenly landlord. Satan
was causing problems for God.
00:10:14.11\00:10:19.18
Satan had to be evicted
out of heaven into earth.
00:10:19.21\00:10:23.42
Let me remind you that
that same demonic spirit that
00:10:23.45\00:10:28.06
incited rebellion in heaven
is the same demonic spirit
00:10:28.09\00:10:31.06
that incites rebellion here
on planet earth. It began in
00:10:31.09\00:10:35.30
the Garden of Eden. Genesis
chapter 3, the fall of man.
00:10:35.33\00:10:38.57
It continued in the wilderness
when Jesus was tempted of
00:10:38.60\00:10:42.27
the devil. It continued on
Calvary, when Satan tried to
00:10:42.30\00:10:46.01
make Jesus think His sacrifice
was insufficient. It continued
00:10:46.04\00:10:49.88
with the wars of Alexander the
Great and Napoleon and Hitler.
00:10:49.91\00:10:53.11
It continues to the present day
with the war on terror, 9/11,
00:10:53.15\00:10:58.72
ISIS, racism on the campus
of the University of Missouri,
00:10:58.75\00:11:03.29
hurricanes, earthquakes,
terrorist attacks like yesterday
00:11:03.32\00:11:09.73
in France. And so the infamous
question that perplexes the
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.97
minds of those who don't know
the character of God:  Why so
00:11:13.00\00:11:17.11
much evil? Why so much sin? Why
so much destruction? Why so much
00:11:17.14\00:11:23.88
death and disease? I
thought Satan was evicted.
00:11:23.91\00:11:28.85
I thought Satan was expelled.
I thought Satan was expunged.
00:11:28.88\00:11:35.02
I thought Satan was
kicked out. He was kicked out,
00:11:35.06\00:11:39.09
but he just changed
locations from heaven to earth
00:11:39.13\00:11:42.20
and now Satan thinks he has what
is called “squatters rights.”
00:11:42.23\00:11:47.87
[Aud. reaction]    PB: Squatters
rights. Somebody's heard
00:11:47.90\00:11:51.44
about that. Adverse possession.
This is the unauthorized
00:11:51.47\00:11:56.54
use of real estate. This
is when somebody deliberately
00:11:56.58\00:12:00.82
enters property without
permission and lives there.
00:12:00.85\00:12:04.62
This is when a trespasser
enters somebody else's
00:12:04.65\00:12:07.89
property and gets title to it
without payment or compensation.
00:12:07.92\00:12:12.16
Squatters can claim
possession of a property if they
00:12:12.19\00:12:16.80
stay long enough. Squatters
can claim rights to land if
00:12:16.83\00:12:22.04
they've lived there long
enough. And since their eviction
00:12:22.07\00:12:25.91
from heaven, Satan and his
boys have been squatting on
00:12:25.94\00:12:29.18
planet earth. They've
taken claim of this earth.
00:12:29.21\00:12:33.31
They've taken possession
of this earth. That's why
00:12:33.35\00:12:37.55
when God asks Satan
in Job chapter 1, “Job,
00:12:37.59\00:12:40.72
what are you doing?
Job, where are you going?”
00:12:40.76\00:12:43.49
Satan could have said,
“I'm squatting. I'm going
00:12:43.53\00:12:46.96
to and fro on the
earth, walking up and down.”
00:12:47.00\00:12:49.63
Satan is still walking
around. Satan's still lurking
00:12:49.66\00:12:54.20
around. Some of you
work for the devil. Some of
00:12:54.24\00:12:58.54
you live with the
devil. Some of you are sleeping
00:12:58.57\00:13:02.21
with the devil. Some of
you are sitting by the devil.
00:13:02.24\00:13:05.98
Satan's still squatting
and lurking around. He's still
00:13:06.01\00:13:10.15
deceiving; he's still
lying; he's still causing mess
00:13:10.19\00:13:14.02
and confusion. Ellen White
says in “Great Controversy”
00:13:14.06\00:13:17.26
that Satan's agents are
constantly working under his
00:13:17.29\00:13:20.10
direction to establish
his authority and build up his
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.90
kingdom in opposition
to the government of God.
00:13:22.93\00:13:25.83
Peter says he's a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour.
00:13:25.87\00:13:30.97
Now you do know what devour is.
Devour doesn't mean just to bite
00:13:31.01\00:13:35.21
you. Devour doesn't mean just to
scratch you. But devour means to
00:13:35.24\00:13:42.05
destroy you. I wish I had a
witness in this place. In the
00:13:42.08\00:13:45.62
name of Jesus. I don't plan
to be long today but let me tell
00:13:45.65\00:13:48.32
you: Stop fooling around.
Stop playing around. Stop joking
00:13:48.36\00:13:53.33
around with the devil, because
the devil is not trying to bite
00:13:53.36\00:13:57.63
you. The devil is not
trying to scratch you.
00:13:57.67\00:14:00.37
The devil is trying to destroy
you. Submit yourselves therefore
00:14:00.40\00:14:04.94
to God. Resist the devil
and he will flee from you.
00:14:04.97\00:14:08.41
It's interesting, because
we lock our homes, we lock our
00:14:08.44\00:14:12.58
cars, we lock our doors, we lock
our windows, we lock everything
00:14:12.61\00:14:16.48
we have to protect our property
and ourselves from evil men,
00:14:16.52\00:14:19.95
but we seldom think of the
evil angels who are constantly
00:14:19.99\00:14:23.66
seeking access to us.
Against whose attacks we have,
00:14:23.69\00:14:29.66
in our own strength, we
have no method for defense.
00:14:29.70\00:14:34.54
I cannot fight Satan by
myself. But I can hear the
00:14:34.57\00:14:40.14
Apostle Paul telling me
there is a method I can use
00:14:40.18\00:14:44.28
to fight Satan. He says,
“Put on the whole armor of God.”
00:14:44.31\00:14:48.58
You can't fight the
devil and win by yourself,
00:14:48.62\00:14:52.42
but you've got to put
on the girdle of truth,
00:14:52.45\00:14:55.02
the breastplate of
righteousness, the shoes of the
00:14:55.06\00:14:58.99
gospel, the shield of faith,
the helmet of salvation; carry a
00:14:59.03\00:15:04.27
sword which the Word of God, and
pray without ceasing. That's our
00:15:04.30\00:15:10.27
defense. Greater is He that
is in us than he that is in the
00:15:10.31\00:15:14.24
world. But Satan is still
hanging around. But you know
00:15:14.28\00:15:21.82
what? Very soon; soon and very
soon, squatter time is going to
00:15:21.85\00:15:28.92
be up. He knows he has but
a short time, because by law a
00:15:28.96\00:15:34.36
squatter can only stay on the
property until the owner gives
an eviction notice.
00:15:34.36\00:15:38.80
[Aud. reaction]    PB:  My God
is about to serve an eviction
00:15:38.83\00:15:44.01
notice. The papers are being
drawn up, the court date has
00:15:44.04\00:15:50.05
been set. Satan is about to be
evicted. I wish I had a witness
00:15:50.08\00:15:54.92
in this place. But I hear
somebody saying, “Pastor Byrd,
he's still lurking,
00:15:54.95\00:15:59.59
he's still hanging around.”
Yes, he might be lurking,
00:15:59.62\00:16:03.56
but he's still under the
sovereign control of an Almighty
00:16:03.59\00:16:07.40
God. I read in 1 Peter this
week, chapter 3, verse number 8
00:16:07.40\00:16:11.67
in the Word of God says, “He
that committeth sin is of the
00:16:11.70\00:16:15.27
devil, for the devil sinneth
from the beginning. For this
00:16:15.30\00:16:19.14
purpose the Son of God was
manifested that he might destroy
the words of the devil.”
00:16:19.17\00:16:26.65
God is getting ready to destroy
the devil. I said, God is
00:16:26.68\00:16:34.76
getting ready to destroy
the devil. [Aud. reaction]
00:16:34.79\00:16:38.93
PB:  And I'm so glad that
troubles don't last always,
00:16:38.96\00:16:43.37
because God is getting
ready to destroy the devil.
00:16:43.40\00:16:48.34
God is about to evict the
devil not just from heaven,
00:16:48.37\00:16:52.81
not just from planet earth, but
God is about to take his life.
00:16:52.84\00:16:57.58
You don't believe me?
Look at the word “destroy.”
00:16:57.61\00:17:01.38
I looked this up and the
word destroy, from the Greek
00:17:01.42\00:17:07.12
translation, kartargeo trepsi,
appears in relationship to the
devil twice in Scripture.
00:17:07.16\00:17:14.03
The first place is in Hebrews
chapter 2 verse 14, where the
00:17:14.10\00:17:17.83
Word says, “Forasmuch then
as the children are partakers of
00:17:17.87\00:17:21.24
flesh and blood, he also himself
likewise took part of the same;
that through death”
00:17:21.27\00:17:25.97
--talking about Jesus--“he might
destroy him that had the power
00:17:26.01\00:17:32.78
of death, that is, the devil.”
But if you go back and read 1
John 3:8, 1 John 3:8
00:17:32.81\00:17:41.52
uses this same word “destroy.”
The latter part of the text says
00:17:41.56\00:17:45.69
that the reason Jesus the
Son of God appeared in the first
00:17:45.73\00:17:48.86
place was to destroy the devil's
work. So this word “destroy”
00:17:48.90\00:17:55.24
relates to the devil
twice in the Bible: Hebrews 2:14
00:17:55.27\00:18:01.08
and 1 John 3:8. In Hebrews
2, the transliteration for the
00:18:01.11\00:18:07.75
Greek word kartargeo
trepsi, which is destroy,
00:18:07.78\00:18:10.92
means to be put out of operation
or put out of business.
00:18:10.95\00:18:16.96
So the first destroy in
Hebrews 2 means to be put out of
00:18:16.99\00:18:25.10
business, put out of operation.
But the second transliteration,
00:18:25.13\00:18:30.81
in 1 John 3:8, the word destroy,
kartargeo trepsi, means to
00:18:30.84\00:18:36.95
disassemble. Let me break this
down because somebody doesn't
00:18:36.98\00:18:40.68
have it yet. When Jesus went to
Calvary, Jesus said I've got two
things I've got to do.
00:18:40.72\00:18:48.72
The first thing I have to do
is, he said, I've got to put the
00:18:48.76\00:18:53.16
devil out of business.
I've got to put the devil out of
00:18:53.19\00:18:59.43
operation. But the second thing
that I must do, now that he's
00:18:59.47\00:19:04.31
out of business, I've got to
disassemble his enterprise. You
were thrown out of heaven,
00:19:04.34\00:19:10.95
devil, in Revelation 12, but
Jesus says, now I'm going to put
00:19:10.98\00:19:15.58
you out of business. And
I'm going to disassemble you at
00:19:15.62\00:19:20.56
Calvary. Come here, Brother
Satan. In Isaiah and Ezekiel you
00:19:20.59\00:19:26.09
tried to come where you were off
limits, but on Calvary I put you
00:19:26.13\00:19:30.77
out of business and I
disassembled you. You see, all
we're doing now, friends of
00:19:30.80\00:19:35.84
mine, why is evil lurking?
Because the promise of Genesis
00:19:35.87\00:19:39.91
3:15 must come to fruition. “And
I will put enmity between thee
00:19:39.94\00:19:43.75
and the woman, and between
thy seed and her seed; it shall
00:19:43.78\00:19:46.92
bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.” Satan, this is
00:19:46.95\00:19:51.89
what Jesus is telling you.
You bruised me, but I'm going to
00:19:51.92\00:19:59.13
crush your head. [Aud. reaction]
  Anybody ever see a snake die?
00:19:59.16\00:20:08.30
A lizard die? When somebody
chops up a snake or shoots a
snake, the snake is as
00:20:08.34\00:20:17.88
dead as it can be. But even
if you shoot or you chop up a
00:20:17.91\00:20:24.12
snake, and the snake is dead,
you'll look at that tail, and
00:20:24.15\00:20:30.16
that tail is still moving.
Wiggling, giving the image that
00:20:30.19\00:20:39.90
it's still alive. It's as dead
as it can be abut it's wiggling
00:20:39.93\00:20:47.38
to give the image that it's
alive. Jesus says to Satan, on
Calvary you may have
00:20:47.41\00:20:56.52
bruised my head, but I crushed
your heel. And Satan, all you're
00:20:56.55\00:21:04.73
doing right now is
wiggling. [Aud. reaction]
00:21:04.76\00:21:07.96
PB:  That's all that's left.
Don't wait till the battle is
00:21:07.96\00:21:13.90
over, you can shout now, because
all he's doing is wiggling.
00:21:13.94\00:21:19.44
[Aud. reaction]    PB: 
He can't bite--I wish I had a
00:21:19.47\00:21:22.01
praying church in this
place--he can't strike.
00:21:22.04\00:21:24.98
All he's doing is wiggling. The
battle has been won at Calvary.
00:21:25.01\00:21:31.79
If God be for us, who can
be against us. No weapon formed
00:21:31.82\00:21:39.09
against us is going to prosper.
It won't work. And friends of
00:21:39.13\00:21:43.77
mine, squatting time is just
about up. You see, squatters
00:21:43.80\00:21:50.21
have to go if the owner tells
you it's time to go. And God
00:21:50.24\00:21:55.48
told me to tell somebody today
that it's time for the devil to
00:21:55.51\00:22:00.85
go. God says I'm drawing a line
in the sand. Enough is enough.
00:22:00.88\00:22:08.09
The game is over. You were
evicted from heaven; you were
defeated at Calvary;
00:22:08.12\00:22:13.40
and squatting time is just
about up because now I'm coming
00:22:13.43\00:22:18.50
to evict you permanently. I'm
coming to step on you, Satan.
00:22:18.53\00:22:24.51
Jesus said, you've stepped on
Me long enough. You've stepped
00:22:24.54\00:22:27.94
on My people long enough.
Now I'm coming to step on you.
00:22:27.98\00:22:32.81
The difference is you
can step on Me and hurt Me,
00:22:32.85\00:22:35.68
but I have the power to
step on you and to crush you.
00:22:35.72\00:22:38.75
Well, Pastor Byrd, when is this
crushing going to take place?
00:22:38.79\00:22:44.66
Well, my Bible says when
Jesus comes back, at His second
00:22:44.69\00:22:49.53
coming. The Bible says the
Lord Himself shall descend from
00:22:49.56\00:22:54.87
heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, the
00:22:54.90\00:22:58.51
trump of God and the dead in
Christ shall rise first. Then we
00:22:58.54\00:23:02.78
that remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds
00:23:02.81\00:23:04.58
to meet the Lord in the air
and so shall we ever be with the
00:23:04.61\00:23:06.55
Lord. When Jesus comes back, the
second time, the dead in Christ
00:23:06.58\00:23:10.92
are going to rise. The
righteous living are going to be
00:23:10.95\00:23:14.26
caught up to meet the Lord
in the air. The wicked living
00:23:14.29\00:23:16.79
are going to die at the
brightness of His coming and the
00:23:16.83\00:23:19.09
wicked dead are going to
remain dead. That's why I love
00:23:19.13\00:23:22.16
getting in these discussions-I
don't call them debates
00:23:22.20\00:23:25.00
but I call them discussions-with
other theologians who
00:23:25.03\00:23:26.90
don't believe this. If the
righteous are all in heaven
00:23:26.94\00:23:30.07
right now, who would Jesus
be coming back for at His death?
00:23:30.11\00:23:34.44
Who would rise first if all
the good folk were already in
00:23:34.48\00:23:37.28
heaven. The reality is the
good folk aren't in heaven, but
00:23:37.31\00:23:39.48
they're sleeping in the grave
right now. If everyone were in
00:23:39.51\00:23:42.82
heaven, who would Jesus be
coming back for at Jesus' second
00:23:42.85\00:23:46.89
coming? The Bible is clear that
the righteous will be in heaven,
00:23:46.92\00:23:49.49
the wicked will be dead here
on this earth. Satan will be
00:23:49.52\00:23:52.86
bound to this earth for a
thousand years, better known to
00:23:52.89\00:23:55.96
us as the millennium. He
won't be able to deceive;
00:23:56.00\00:23:58.60
he won't be able to ___
because he will be bound up by a
00:23:58.63\00:24:01.60
chain of circumstances.
Hallelujah! The righteous will
00:24:01.64\00:24:05.34
be in heaven, looking over
the books, participating in
00:24:05.37\00:24:08.14
judgment, seeing who's been
naughty and who's been nice. But
00:24:08.18\00:24:11.45
at the end of the millennium,
the end of the 1,000 years,
00:24:11.48\00:24:17.59
Revelation 20 says there's going
to be another resurrection. The
00:24:17.62\00:24:22.36
rest of the dead live not again
until the thousand years were
00:24:22.39\00:24:27.46
finished. My Bible says the
New Jerusalem will descend from
00:24:27.50\00:24:31.90
heaven, coming down to earth as
a bride adorned for her husband.
00:24:31.93\00:24:35.97
Satan one more time will
seek to have squatting rights,
00:24:36.00\00:24:40.91
and he will seek to deceive
people into thinking they can
00:24:40.94\00:24:44.25
overtake the New Jerusalem
as it comes down out of God.
00:24:44.28\00:24:47.75
Why then, will they then
surround the New Jerusalem?
00:24:47.78\00:24:53.39
Recognize that fire's going
to rain down and God's going
00:24:53.42\00:24:56.93
to destroy Satan, and Satan
will have received his eviction
00:24:56.96\00:25:00.73
notice. But why, why--and I
say it all the time--why is this
00:25:00.76\00:25:08.80
special? Why is it important
that the righteous come down
00:25:08.84\00:25:15.14
from heaven? Why is it important
that the wicked are resurrected?
00:25:15.18\00:25:20.78
Because at the end of
the 1,000 years you know it,
00:25:20.82\00:25:24.82
this is the only time in
earth's history where all
00:25:24.85\00:25:27.09
of us who've ever been alive, we
will be alive at the same time.
00:25:27.12\00:25:30.56
Everybody who's lived, we
will be alive at the same time.
00:25:30.59\00:25:35.33
Why must we all be alive
at the same time? Because the
00:25:35.36\00:25:40.70
prophecy must come to pass
that the day is coming where
00:25:40.74\00:25:46.27
every knee shall bow,
every tongue must confess that
00:25:46.31\00:25:55.18
Jesus is Lord. Everybody's
got to see that Satan is going
00:25:55.22\00:26:02.72
to be evicted. Hallelujah,
home at last. The redeemed will
00:26:02.76\00:26:08.73
be home at last, evicted out
of heaven, defeated at Calvary,
00:26:08.76\00:26:14.74
squatters' rights given
up at the Second Coming.
00:26:14.77\00:26:18.34
At the Third Coming he's
going to be evicted eternally.
00:26:18.37\00:26:22.91
Hallelujah,
somebody.    Aud.: Hallelujah!
00:26:22.94\00:26:25.61
PB:  Oh yes, I don't
feel no ways tired.  I've come
00:26:25.65\00:26:29.52
too far from where I started
from. Nobody told me this
00:26:29.55\00:26:32.79
road was going to be easy,
but I don't believe that Jesus
00:26:32.82\00:26:36.99
brought Carleton Byrd this
far to leave me. I don't believe
00:26:37.03\00:26:41.13
He brought you this far to
leave you. At His first coming
00:26:41.16\00:26:44.97
He came to save His people. At
His second coming, He's coming
00:26:45.00\00:26:49.00
back to get His people. At his
third coming, He's coming back
00:26:49.04\00:26:53.71
with His people. No more crying,
no more dying, no more sickness,
00:26:53.74\00:26:59.38
no more pain, no more high
blood pressure, no more pills,
00:26:59.41\00:27:03.69
no more walking sticks, no more
wheelchairs, no more cancer,
00:27:03.72\00:27:09.22
no more death, no more
destruction, no more debt. Who
00:27:09.26\00:27:16.23
is coming back? Jesus is coming
back, so lift up your heads, O
00:27:16.26\00:27:21.10
ye gates, lift up your heads and
be ye lifted up, ye everlasting
00:27:21.14\00:27:28.71
doors. And the King of Glory
shall come in. Who is the King
00:27:28.74\00:27:37.15
of Glory? The Lord, strong
and mighty. Who is the King of
00:27:37.19\00:27:44.26
Glory. The Lord
mighty in battle. The Lord.
00:27:44.29\00:27:51.43
For some of you this
has been a tough week.
00:27:51.47\00:27:55.47
Some of you have emailed
me, some of you have called me.
00:27:55.50\00:27:59.44
It's been a tough week.
And I want to encourage you,
00:27:59.47\00:28:05.81
the day of Satan's eviction
is coming. It's coming sooner
00:28:05.85\00:28:08.75
than we think. And this
afternoon I'm just grateful,
00:28:08.78\00:28:15.96
I'm just grateful that God
told me He was coming back.
00:28:15.99\00:28:21.00
I'm just grateful the
Lord told me hold on, that help
00:28:21.03\00:28:25.00
is on the way. Stand, if you're
grateful, join me as we sing
00:28:25.03\00:28:30.41
