We're so glad
that you're here today.
00:00:14.18\00:00:17.55
The topic is
00:00:17.58\00:00:18.91
"The Next 1,000
years in Bible Prophecy."
00:00:18.95\00:00:22.48
This 1,000 years
period is commonly called
00:00:22.52\00:00:25.69
the millennium.
00:00:25.72\00:00:27.46
I also have
gotten another topic,
00:00:27.49\00:00:29.56
another name for this topic
00:00:29.59\00:00:31.76
and that is "The Devil
and His Wife on Vacation."
00:00:31.79\00:00:38.23
What are you laughing for?
00:00:38.27\00:00:39.93
You know that
devil has got a wife.
00:00:39.97\00:00:42.27
We gonna talk about that today.
00:00:42.30\00:00:44.27
The devil and
his wife on vacation.
00:00:44.31\00:00:46.81
I want you to the
come to the apocalypse
00:00:46.84\00:00:48.34
to Revelation 17:4,
00:00:48.38\00:00:51.25
it's the last book in the Bible.
00:00:51.28\00:00:53.18
Revelation 17.
00:00:53.21\00:00:55.35
As we talk about the millennium
00:00:55.38\00:00:58.12
and the devil and
his wife on vacation.
00:00:58.15\00:01:00.16
Revelation 17:4.
00:01:00.19\00:01:03.36
The Bible says, if
you got the text says,
00:01:03.39\00:01:06.36
"The women was
arrayed in purple and scarlet,
00:01:06.39\00:01:09.40
colors in the
Bible of a prostitute,
00:01:09.43\00:01:13.27
and adorned with gold and
precious stones and pearls,
00:01:13.30\00:01:17.41
having in her hand a
golden cup full of abominations
00:01:17.44\00:01:21.84
and filthiness
of her fornication."
00:01:21.88\00:01:25.98
There are two women
mentioned in Bible prophecy,
00:01:26.01\00:01:29.58
one woman
represents the bride of Christ
00:01:29.62\00:01:33.25
and the other woman represents
the great apostate church.
00:01:33.29\00:01:38.49
I want you to come over here
00:01:38.53\00:01:39.86
to Revelation 21:9
and 10, dear folks.
00:01:39.89\00:01:46.30
The Bible says, "Then
one of the seven angels
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.40
who had the seven bowls filled
with the seven last plagues
00:01:49.44\00:01:52.44
came to me and talked
with me saying, "Come,
00:01:52.47\00:01:56.14
I will show you the
bride, the Lamb's wife."
00:01:56.18\00:01:59.98
Christ's wife.
00:02:00.02\00:02:01.82
The devil has got a
wife too, and verse 10 says,
00:02:01.85\00:02:05.05
"He carried me
away in the Spirit
00:02:05.09\00:02:06.65
to a great and high mountain,
and showed me the great city,
00:02:06.69\00:02:10.49
the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God."
00:02:10.53\00:02:15.96
So the Bible tells us here,
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.33
that just as the
devil has got a wife
00:02:18.37\00:02:21.57
who is the
great apostate church.
00:02:21.60\00:02:24.77
The Bible tells us
that Christ has got a bride
00:02:24.81\00:02:28.41
and the Bible says
that's the New Jerusalem,
00:02:28.44\00:02:33.72
but this text
seems a little confusing
00:02:33.75\00:02:36.02
because how could a
person be married to a city.
00:02:36.05\00:02:41.82
I guess that's not
so hard to understand,
00:02:41.86\00:02:43.69
when you take a woman shopping.
00:02:43.73\00:02:48.30
But the Bible tells us here
00:02:48.33\00:02:50.43
that Christ is
married to a city.
00:02:50.47\00:02:52.30
What does this mean?
00:02:52.33\00:02:53.67
Come over hear, Revelation 20:9,
00:02:53.70\00:02:58.21
this explains, "They went
up on the breadth of the earth
00:02:58.24\00:03:02.68
and surrounded
the camp of the saints
00:03:02.71\00:03:06.41
and the beloved city."
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.52
So the Bible teaches
that inside the city,
00:03:09.55\00:03:12.32
the wonderful
city, the beloved city,
00:03:12.35\00:03:14.59
the new Jerusalem,
00:03:14.62\00:03:15.96
the city of the stars
are the people of God.
00:03:15.99\00:03:20.20
And so Christ is
married to the people of God.
00:03:20.23\00:03:24.60
In Bible prophecy, you
have two very distinctive women.
00:03:24.63\00:03:31.47
One is the bride of Christ
00:03:31.51\00:03:33.24
that represents
the people of God,
00:03:33.27\00:03:36.81
represents God's church.
00:03:36.85\00:03:40.98
She is a pure, clean,
decent, faithful woman.
00:03:41.02\00:03:45.12
But the Bible teaches
that the devil has a wife,
00:03:45.15\00:03:50.89
and this system is
called in the Bible a church.
00:03:50.93\00:03:57.17
It is a great apostate church.
00:03:57.20\00:04:01.20
The Bible makes it plain
that often the devil hides
00:04:01.24\00:04:07.44
in the grab of religion.
00:04:07.48\00:04:11.08
We're gonna see this today.
00:04:11.11\00:04:12.58
You got two
churches, you got two systems,
00:04:12.61\00:04:16.82
and two great characters,
00:04:16.85\00:04:19.32
Lucifer and Christ.
00:04:19.35\00:04:24.23
Now the greatness
truth in the Bible
00:04:24.26\00:04:26.39
is not the truth
about the antichrist.
00:04:26.43\00:04:29.53
I want you to know this.
00:04:29.56\00:04:31.03
The greatest truth in
the Bible, here it is,
00:04:31.07\00:04:33.80
it's the truth that
there is a God and He loves us.
00:04:33.84\00:04:37.37
That's the greatest truth.
00:04:37.41\00:04:38.97
Greatest text, for
God so loved the world.
00:04:39.01\00:04:41.58
So I want you to know today
00:04:41.61\00:04:43.41
that you are
special and God loves you.
00:04:43.45\00:04:46.98
Today we're going to
notice some amazing events
00:04:47.02\00:04:51.25
almost too hard to believe.
00:04:51.29\00:04:54.52
Do you see this guy
here? See the look on his face.
00:04:54.56\00:04:59.93
This guy is gobsmacked.
Ever heard this term before?
00:04:59.96\00:05:05.20
Google it, gobsmacked.
00:05:05.23\00:05:07.30
That means, he is
totally and absolutely amazed
00:05:07.34\00:05:10.81
at what he is going
to hear in this program.
00:05:10.84\00:05:12.91
We're going to talk today
about the two resurrections.
00:05:12.94\00:05:15.98
The Bible says, "If you
don't come up in the first,
00:05:16.01\00:05:18.15
you come up with the second."
00:05:18.18\00:05:19.78
We're gonna talk
about the 1,000 years
00:05:19.81\00:05:21.78
when Satan is bound
in the bottomless pit.
00:05:21.82\00:05:24.25
We're going to talk about
earth's last great battle.
00:05:24.29\00:05:29.39
We're going to talk
about the death of Satan.
00:05:29.42\00:05:33.50
Satan does not live
on, being tortured by God,
00:05:33.53\00:05:37.27
for trillions of years.
00:05:37.30\00:05:38.93
The Bible says that
Satan is going to stop living.
00:05:38.97\00:05:44.61
We're going to talk
about the end of evil,
00:05:44.64\00:05:47.91
the destruction of planet earth,
00:05:47.94\00:05:51.51
the creation of
a brand new world
00:05:51.55\00:05:56.02
and the coming of the
great city of the stars.
00:05:56.05\00:06:01.12
Now the millennium.
00:06:01.16\00:06:02.49
Would you please
come to Revelation 20:1-3,
00:06:02.52\00:06:06.29
dear hearts and gentle
people, Revelation 20:1-3.
00:06:06.33\00:06:11.67
The Bible says,
00:06:11.70\00:06:13.10
"Then I saw an angel
coming down from heaven,
00:06:13.13\00:06:15.60
having the key to
the bottomless pit,
00:06:15.64\00:06:18.04
the abyss, and a
great chain in his hand.
00:06:18.07\00:06:21.38
He laid hold of the
dragon, that serpent of old,
00:06:21.41\00:06:24.05
who is the Devil and
Satan, and bound him"
00:06:24.08\00:06:26.98
for how long "thousand years,
00:06:27.02\00:06:30.29
he cast him into
the bottomless pit
00:06:30.32\00:06:32.22
and shut him up,
set a seal on him,
00:06:32.25\00:06:34.86
so that he should
deceive the nations no more
00:06:34.89\00:06:37.66
till the thousands
years were finished.
00:06:37.69\00:06:39.73
But after these things
00:06:39.76\00:06:41.86
he must be released
for a little while."
00:06:41.90\00:06:46.57
Look at me.
00:06:46.60\00:06:48.40
The Bible says that
Lucifer is cast down
00:06:48.44\00:06:53.94
into the bottomless pit
00:06:53.98\00:06:56.95
and the Bible says
that during the time,
00:06:56.98\00:06:59.98
he is cast down into the
abyss or the bottomless pit.
00:07:00.02\00:07:05.05
He can deceive
the nations no more.
00:07:05.09\00:07:10.59
I remember a person saying to me
00:07:10.63\00:07:13.43
"We're now in the
time of the millennium
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.03
and Satan is bound."
00:07:16.06\00:07:18.20
I said, "If he is bound,
may the Lord have mercy upon us
00:07:18.23\00:07:22.37
if he ever gets loose."
00:07:22.40\00:07:24.87
Let's talk
about this personality
00:07:24.91\00:07:27.41
whose name is Satan, who
was bound for 1,000 years.
00:07:27.44\00:07:33.28
Who is Satan? He
is a real person.
00:07:33.31\00:07:38.82
This is not a figure of speech.
00:07:38.85\00:07:41.69
In the Book of
Isaiah, he is called Lucifer
00:07:41.72\00:07:45.03
or the shining one.
00:07:45.06\00:07:47.13
Under God he was once
in charge of our universe
00:07:47.16\00:07:51.37
and everything beyond under God.
00:07:51.40\00:07:53.94
He became the great
rebel and arch deceiver.
00:07:53.97\00:07:58.94
He is the originator of
sin, evil, suffering and death.
00:07:58.97\00:08:05.01
He is the enemy of God and
the enemy of men and women.
00:08:05.05\00:08:11.42
And the Bible says,
00:08:11.45\00:08:12.79
he is going to be cast
into the bottomless pit
00:08:12.82\00:08:14.79
for 1,000 years.
00:08:14.82\00:08:17.16
Let us think for a
moment of the differences
00:08:17.19\00:08:19.66
between God and Satan.
00:08:19.69\00:08:23.30
God is love, never
coerces the conscience.
00:08:23.33\00:08:26.40
You know what I'm talking about,
00:08:26.43\00:08:27.80
forces the conscience.
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.37
He never forces us to
obey. He is the God of freedom.
00:08:29.40\00:08:36.28
We're free to choose.
00:08:36.31\00:08:38.08
God is the God of righteousness
and truth and mercy.
00:08:38.11\00:08:43.82
Satan lies and
deceives and hides
00:08:43.85\00:08:48.16
mainly in religion.
00:08:48.19\00:08:51.66
He believes in
forcing the conscience.
00:08:51.69\00:08:54.96
He is the power behind...
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.40
Listen to this,
religious intolerance.
00:08:56.43\00:08:59.37
Plenty of that today in
the world and in America.
00:08:59.40\00:09:02.80
Religious intolerance,
hatred and persecution.
00:09:02.84\00:09:06.61
He is the real power behind,
00:09:06.64\00:09:09.24
he was the real power
behind the inquisition,
00:09:09.28\00:09:15.12
which was church run thing.
00:09:15.15\00:09:18.49
And today he is the god of ISIS.
00:09:18.52\00:09:23.19
What is more, Satan
is the god of torture
00:09:23.22\00:09:28.43
and religious hatred.
00:09:28.46\00:09:31.77
I'm utterly amazed
when I hear Christians
00:09:31.80\00:09:33.87
talking about
bringing back torture.
00:09:33.90\00:09:37.24
There was a black
chapter in the history
00:09:37.27\00:09:38.87
of the United States of America,
00:09:38.91\00:09:41.84
when we tortured our enemies,
00:09:41.88\00:09:45.31
went against everything
that is taught in the Bible,
00:09:45.35\00:09:48.02
everything
Christian, everything decent,
00:09:48.05\00:09:51.35
everything American.
00:09:51.39\00:09:54.12
And some say, "We
ought to bring it back
00:09:54.16\00:09:57.19
and torture our enemies."
00:09:57.23\00:09:59.33
That is the voice of
Satan, not the voice of God.
00:09:59.36\00:10:06.17
Christ said,
"Love your enemies."
00:10:06.20\00:10:07.87
People say, "It's impossible."
00:10:07.90\00:10:10.87
We'll look at the alternative
00:10:10.91\00:10:12.24
and see what we have
done with the alternative.
00:10:12.27\00:10:15.34
Every person needs to know
the judgment day is coming.
00:10:15.38\00:10:19.25
Lucifer has a
judgment day coming,
00:10:19.28\00:10:21.48
and we have a
judgment day coming.
00:10:21.52\00:10:24.19
One of the
great founding fathers
00:10:24.22\00:10:26.55
of the United States of America,
00:10:26.59\00:10:29.36
Thomas Jefferson
said these immortal words,
00:10:29.39\00:10:34.96
"Indeed I tremble for my country
00:10:35.00\00:10:36.97
when I reflect that God is just,
00:10:37.00\00:10:41.40
that his is justice
cannot sleep forever."
00:10:41.44\00:10:48.34
People can
scorn, they can scuff,
00:10:48.38\00:10:51.78
they can blaspheme,
00:10:51.81\00:10:55.68
but their day is coming.
00:10:55.72\00:10:59.62
The day is coming
00:10:59.65\00:11:00.99
when God is going to eradicate
evil from the universe.
00:11:01.02\00:11:05.26
When does the
millennium take place?
00:11:05.29\00:11:07.06
Revelation 20:4 and 5.
00:11:07.10\00:11:09.76
Look it in the Bible,
Revelation 20:4 and 5,
00:11:09.80\00:11:13.67
"And I saw thrones,
and they sat on them,
00:11:13.70\00:11:16.47
and judgment was
committed to them.
00:11:16.50\00:11:17.87
It's judgment.
00:11:17.91\00:11:19.24
Then I saw the souls of
those who had been beheaded
00:11:19.27\00:11:21.88
for their witness to
Jesus and for the word of God,
00:11:21.91\00:11:25.11
who had not worshipped
the beast or his image,
00:11:25.15\00:11:27.58
and not received his
mark on their foreheads
00:11:27.62\00:11:30.29
or on their hands."
00:11:30.32\00:11:31.65
And this is the picture of
the martyrs, all the saints.
00:11:31.69\00:11:36.69
And the text says, "And
they lived or came to life,
00:11:36.73\00:11:39.83
and reigned with
Christ for a thousand years."
00:11:39.86\00:11:42.60
Therefore the
millennium commences
00:11:42.63\00:11:45.37
with the
resurrection of the righteous.
00:11:45.40\00:11:48.67
And verse 5 says,
00:11:48.70\00:11:50.04
"But the rest of the
dead did not live again
00:11:50.07\00:11:52.61
until the thousand
years were finished.
00:11:52.64\00:11:54.68
This is the first resurrection,"
00:11:54.71\00:11:56.95
referring back to verse 4.
00:11:56.98\00:11:59.58
So listen carefully, look at me.
00:11:59.61\00:12:02.25
This is of
tremendous importance,
00:12:02.28\00:12:04.75
because this is the subject
where some people are confused.
00:12:04.79\00:12:08.39
The Bible tells me
00:12:08.42\00:12:10.06
that the millennium
starts with the resurrection
00:12:10.09\00:12:13.13
and it ends with
the resurrection."
00:12:13.16\00:12:18.80
And the Bible
tells me that it starts
00:12:18.83\00:12:21.37
with the
resurrection of the righteous.
00:12:21.40\00:12:25.91
We just read this text.
00:12:25.94\00:12:28.31
"Blessed and holy it says,
00:12:28.34\00:12:30.35
is he who is part in
the first resurrection."
00:12:30.38\00:12:34.25
The saints who were put to death
00:12:34.28\00:12:35.85
because they would not worship
the beast are resurrected
00:12:35.88\00:12:40.46
and they reign with
Christ for thousand years.
00:12:40.49\00:12:42.99
This tells me a
number of truths.
00:12:43.02\00:12:44.63
It tells me there will
be martyrs in the last days.
00:12:44.66\00:12:49.60
Am I right to think about that?
00:12:49.63\00:12:51.20
All the saints of God are going
to be raptured on to glory.
00:12:51.23\00:12:54.57
No, no, no, no, it's
not taught in the Bible.
00:12:54.60\00:12:58.74
It's a part
00:12:58.77\00:13:00.11
of an easy going
lying superficial religion.
00:13:00.14\00:13:05.95
Tell it to people who suffer.
00:13:05.98\00:13:08.62
It's religion of the
spiritually illiterate.
00:13:08.65\00:13:14.32
The Bible says God's saints,
many of them will be martyred
00:13:14.36\00:13:20.16
because it says they
wouldn't worship the beast.
00:13:20.20\00:13:23.10
At least they
understood the Bible prophecies
00:13:23.13\00:13:25.00
which is more than
most Christians do today.
00:13:25.03\00:13:28.37
Most Christians don't
read the Bible prophecies
00:13:28.40\00:13:30.61
because they are so asleep.
00:13:30.64\00:13:34.58
But the Bible
says, the saints of God
00:13:34.61\00:13:37.01
who are martyred
in the last days,
00:13:37.05\00:13:38.91
they lived and they reigned
with Christ for 1.000 years,
00:13:38.95\00:13:42.45
therefore there will
be blood in the streets
00:13:42.48\00:13:46.69
in the last days.
00:13:46.72\00:13:49.86
But the Bible says God's
people are going to live again.
00:13:49.89\00:13:55.83
So millennium starts
00:13:55.86\00:13:57.70
with the
resurrection of the righteous.
00:13:57.73\00:13:59.93
When are the righteous raised?
00:13:59.97\00:14:01.74
Easy, come over here
to 1 Thessalonians 4:16,
00:14:01.77\00:14:07.34
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:14:07.38\00:14:10.55
1 Thessalonians 4:16
00:14:10.58\00:14:16.92
it says, "For the Lord
Himself will descend from heaven
00:14:16.95\00:14:21.99
with a shout,
00:14:22.02\00:14:23.76
with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God,
00:14:23.79\00:14:28.56
and the dead in
Christ will rise first."
00:14:28.60\00:14:31.73
The righteous are
raised at the second coming,
00:14:31.77\00:14:38.37
that's when the
millennium commences,
00:14:38.41\00:14:42.38
it's as plain as
the nose on your face.
00:14:42.41\00:14:47.08
Come over here
to Revelation 20:6,
00:14:47.12\00:14:50.72
Revelation 20:6, dear
hearts and gentle people.
00:14:50.75\00:14:56.76
Revelation 20:6,
"Blessed and holy
00:14:56.79\00:15:00.70
is he who has part in
the first resurrection."
00:15:00.73\00:15:04.77
That's when Christ comes.
00:15:04.80\00:15:06.97
"Over such the
second death has no power."
00:15:07.00\00:15:09.14
There are two deaths,
unless you are born twins,
00:15:09.17\00:15:12.54
you will die twice.
00:15:12.57\00:15:15.68
That's what the Bible teaches.
00:15:15.71\00:15:17.95
"On to over such the
second death has no power,
00:15:17.98\00:15:20.65
but they shall be
priests of God and of Christ,
00:15:20.68\00:15:23.85
and shall reign with
Him a thousand years."
00:15:23.89\00:15:27.79
Hallelujah, what a morning
00:15:27.82\00:15:29.69
it is going to
be when Jesus comes.
00:15:29.72\00:15:32.89
So when Jesus comes,
00:15:32.93\00:15:34.80
there is the mighty resurrection
00:15:34.83\00:15:37.80
and when Jesus comes,
00:15:37.83\00:15:39.87
He commences the punishment
of Satan in the bottomless pit,
00:15:39.90\00:15:46.61
and from the time Jesus comes
00:15:46.64\00:15:49.24
and you have the
first resurrection,
00:15:49.28\00:15:52.31
you have a thousand years.
00:15:52.35\00:15:57.62
That's as plain, so plain
00:15:57.65\00:15:59.39
that even my grandchildren
could understand it.
00:15:59.42\00:16:05.79
The human race can be
divided into two camps.
00:16:05.83\00:16:09.50
And here we're not talking
about religions or churches.
00:16:09.53\00:16:15.14
God is far bigger
than our thinking usually.
00:16:15.17\00:16:18.74
Yeah, it's not the case of,
00:16:21.78\00:16:23.88
"hey, this
belong to this church,
00:16:23.91\00:16:25.45
they are going to glory,
this belong to that church,
00:16:25.48\00:16:27.85
they are going to hell."
00:16:27.88\00:16:30.69
The human race,
that's very superficial,
00:16:30.72\00:16:32.45
human race can be
divided into two camps.
00:16:32.49\00:16:35.99
The good and the bad.
00:16:36.02\00:16:40.00
The righteous and the
wicked. The saved and the lost.
00:16:40.03\00:16:45.83
The penitent and the
smug lost self righteous.
00:16:45.87\00:16:52.14
Now this can be
divided again or subdivided.
00:16:56.34\00:17:00.85
Want you to see this.
00:17:00.88\00:17:02.68
You have the righteous dead,
00:17:02.72\00:17:07.19
the saints of God who have died
00:17:07.22\00:17:11.16
and they are
sleeping in the grave.
00:17:11.19\00:17:14.03
The righteous dead,
the righteous living.
00:17:14.06\00:17:17.83
God's people, the
Bible calls them the saints.
00:17:17.87\00:17:21.74
Saint is not a sinless person.
00:17:21.77\00:17:24.41
The saint is a person
who was saved and in Christ.
00:17:24.44\00:17:30.48
Don't forget this.
00:17:30.51\00:17:31.85
Righteous dead,
righteous living.
00:17:31.88\00:17:34.18
And on the other side
you have the wicked dead,
00:17:34.22\00:17:38.05
a vast, vast number.
00:17:38.09\00:17:41.82
They think that's the end.
00:17:41.86\00:17:43.22
Oh, no, hasn't started yet.
00:17:43.26\00:17:46.70
The wicked dead
and the wicked living.
00:17:46.73\00:17:51.93
So you have some
awake and some asleep.
00:17:51.97\00:17:56.64
Living and dead, the good,
00:17:56.67\00:18:01.31
the bad and the ugly.
00:18:01.34\00:18:07.22
Couldn't help myself there.
00:18:07.25\00:18:09.48
Okay, let us
therefore consider the faith
00:18:09.52\00:18:13.49
of each group of
humanity when Christ returns.
00:18:13.52\00:18:17.79
We've the righteous
dead. We've spoken about this.
00:18:17.83\00:18:20.93
When Jesus comes back,
00:18:20.96\00:18:23.26
the righteous dead are
going to be raised in glory.
00:18:23.30\00:18:29.20
If they died with cancer,
00:18:29.24\00:18:30.81
they're not
coming up with cancer.
00:18:30.84\00:18:33.58
They're coming up
full of the glory of God.
00:18:33.61\00:18:39.08
My mother and my father,
00:18:39.11\00:18:40.88
I'm confident of their salvation
00:18:40.92\00:18:43.25
not because of their
membership in the church,
00:18:43.28\00:18:47.12
not because of their
membership in Christ.
00:18:47.16\00:18:51.29
I think of my old
friend Graham Bradford,
00:18:51.33\00:18:55.00
one of the great saints of God.
00:18:55.03\00:18:59.70
The Bible tells
me he is sleeping,
00:18:59.73\00:19:02.30
he is unconscious.
00:19:02.34\00:19:05.97
No longer in time
00:19:06.01\00:19:07.91
but he will be raised in glory.
00:19:07.94\00:19:13.21
Immortal.
00:19:13.25\00:19:16.85
When I visited Siberia,
00:19:16.89\00:19:18.35
I have been there many
times in the midst of winter.
00:19:18.39\00:19:21.19
I like going in the
midst of winter to Siberia.
00:19:21.22\00:19:24.23
I like going to Lake Baikal
00:19:24.26\00:19:26.46
where it's often minus
40 degrees plus the wind.
00:19:26.49\00:19:33.03
One of the most
beautiful places in the world.
00:19:33.07\00:19:35.04
Have you heard of it?
00:19:35.07\00:19:36.97
It's the largest fresh
water lake in all the world.
00:19:37.01\00:19:39.07
It contains about a fifth
of all the surface fresh water
00:19:39.11\00:19:42.34
in the world.
00:19:42.38\00:19:44.18
It's more than a mile deep.
00:19:44.21\00:19:47.02
When I go there, it has
2 meters or 6 feet of ice
00:19:47.05\00:19:51.42
on the top of it.
00:19:51.45\00:19:53.12
They've sometimes
put down a railway tracks
00:19:53.15\00:19:55.36
to run across it.
00:19:55.39\00:19:58.66
Now I've stood there in Siberia
00:19:58.69\00:20:03.40
which is one of the
most beautiful countries
00:20:03.43\00:20:05.10
in the world.
00:20:05.13\00:20:06.74
Very much like Canada.
00:20:06.77\00:20:08.90
The Taiga Forest
in Siberia is so vast,
00:20:08.94\00:20:13.07
it is bigger than the
United States of America.
00:20:13.11\00:20:17.61
That's the forest in
Russia, the Taiga Forest.
00:20:17.65\00:20:22.48
And I've gone to the seminaries
00:20:22.52\00:20:25.29
and I've stood up
to my waist in snow.
00:20:25.32\00:20:29.96
Standing in the
presence of millions of people.
00:20:29.99\00:20:35.40
People say, "We
want atheism again."
00:20:39.30\00:20:43.61
How foolish, how
little they know.
00:20:43.64\00:20:46.44
The atheist put to death
in Russia had in Ukraine,
00:20:46.47\00:20:52.25
around 50 million people,
00:20:52.28\00:20:55.38
including millions,
and millions, and millions
00:20:55.42\00:20:58.19
our devout Christians
who died for their faith.
00:20:58.22\00:21:01.26
Read the works of
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
00:21:01.29\00:21:06.23
But the day is coming
when the mossy old graves
00:21:06.26\00:21:09.20
where the pilgrims sleep
00:21:09.23\00:21:10.87
shall be opened
as wide as before.
00:21:10.90\00:21:14.27
And the millions have
sleep in the mighty deep
00:21:14.30\00:21:16.91
shall live on
this earth once more.
00:21:16.94\00:21:20.04
Number two, the
righteous living.
00:21:20.08\00:21:22.24
What happens to them?
00:21:22.28\00:21:23.61
Come now to 1
Thessalonians Chapter 4,
00:21:23.65\00:21:26.55
what a great subject this is,
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:21:26.58\00:21:30.15
Chapter 4:16 and 17,
00:21:30.19\00:21:33.82
"For the Lord himself
will descend from heaven
00:21:33.86\00:21:35.82
with a shout, with
the voice of an archangel,
00:21:35.86\00:21:39.39
and with the trumpet of God.
00:21:39.43\00:21:40.80
And the dead in
Christ will rise first.
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.80
This is the first resurrection.
00:21:42.83\00:21:45.23
Then we who are alive
00:21:45.27\00:21:47.00
and remain shall be
caught up together with them
00:21:47.04\00:21:49.40
in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air.
00:21:49.44\00:21:52.57
And thus we shall
always be with the Lord."
00:21:52.61\00:21:57.21
The Bible tells me
when Christ comes back,
00:21:57.25\00:22:00.68
the dead saints are resurrected
00:22:00.72\00:22:03.65
and the living
saints are translated.
00:22:03.69\00:22:07.59
Caught up in the clouds,
00:22:07.62\00:22:09.09
they do not spend the
millennium on this earth.
00:22:09.12\00:22:12.36
As this is taught
in popular theology.
00:22:12.39\00:22:16.56
The Bible teaches that
the saints are caught up,
00:22:16.60\00:22:19.73
the living saints are changed.
00:22:19.77\00:22:25.21
All the cancer,
all the heartache,
00:22:25.24\00:22:28.78
all the heart
disease, it's gone.
00:22:28.81\00:22:32.61
It's gone.
00:22:32.65\00:22:35.65
These are the survivors,
00:22:35.68\00:22:37.02
the people who lives
through to the second coming.
00:22:37.05\00:22:38.85
I would like to be
alive when Jesus comes,
00:22:38.89\00:22:42.36
but then you have
the wicked living,
00:22:42.39\00:22:45.56
the people who shake
their fists at God...
00:22:45.59\00:22:50.30
and treat him like a
benevolent grandfather.
00:22:54.90\00:23:00.44
Never read their Bibles,
00:23:00.48\00:23:01.81
the fear of God is
not before their eyes.
00:23:01.84\00:23:04.58
Would you please come
to 2Thessalonians 1:6-10?
00:23:04.61\00:23:10.05
We give you a lots of
text because we want your faith
00:23:10.09\00:23:12.59
to be in the word of
God, not in a church,
00:23:12.62\00:23:15.42
not in a preacher, not
in a television evangelist,
00:23:15.46\00:23:18.66
not in a priest, not
in a pope but in Christ.
00:23:18.69\00:23:22.13
2 Thessalonians 1:6-10.
00:23:22.16\00:23:25.33
"Since it is a
righteous with God
00:23:25.37\00:23:27.44
to repay with tribulation
those who trouble you,
00:23:27.47\00:23:31.51
and to give you who
are troubled rest of us
00:23:31.54\00:23:33.91
when the lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven
00:23:33.94\00:23:36.08
with His mighty
angels in flaming fire
00:23:36.11\00:23:38.45
taking vengeance on
those who do not know God,
00:23:38.48\00:23:40.95
and on those who
do not obey the gospel
00:23:40.98\00:23:42.92
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:23:42.95\00:23:44.32
These shall be punished
with everlasting destruction
00:23:44.35\00:23:47.16
from the presence of the Lord
00:23:47.19\00:23:48.52
and from the glory of His power.
00:23:48.56\00:23:50.46
When He comes, in that Day,
to be glorified in His saints
00:23:50.49\00:23:54.43
and to be admired
among all those who believe,
00:23:54.46\00:23:57.03
because our testimony
among you was believed."
00:23:57.07\00:24:00.00
The Bible teaches
that when Christ returns,
00:24:00.04\00:24:05.74
the fire that comes
from the throne of God
00:24:05.77\00:24:10.61
is so great and so powerful
00:24:10.65\00:24:14.88
that the wicked those
outside of the kingdom of God
00:24:14.92\00:24:21.32
are destroyed.
00:24:21.36\00:24:27.00
And the earth might fret,
00:24:27.03\00:24:31.03
the earth becomes
the bottomless pit.
00:24:31.07\00:24:37.91
People say, "I want to spend
the millennium on this earth."
00:24:37.94\00:24:44.38
The earth is destroyed
00:24:44.41\00:24:48.55
by the glory of Christ.
00:24:48.58\00:24:54.29
The saints are
resurrected and translated.
00:24:54.32\00:25:00.76
You and I may come up
with some good reasons
00:25:00.80\00:25:02.76
why we shouldn't
follow God and follow Christ.
00:25:02.80\00:25:07.07
That reason will not
endure the fire that is coming.
00:25:07.10\00:25:13.94
Now in our next
30 minutes segment,
00:25:13.98\00:25:18.08
amazing facts
about the end of Lucifer
00:25:18.11\00:25:24.99
and the creation of a new world.
00:25:25.02\00:25:27.46
Hello, friend.
00:25:43.84\00:25:45.27
I'm John Carter in Havana, Cuba.
00:25:45.31\00:25:48.64
I'm standing here in
Revolutionary Square.
00:25:48.68\00:25:53.01
This great square is dedicated
00:25:53.05\00:25:55.25
to the great
communist revolution under Fidel
00:25:55.28\00:25:58.52
that came to this
country back 50, 60 years ago.
00:25:58.55\00:26:02.86
This place is still
undergoing a revolution.
00:26:02.89\00:26:06.90
We've come to check out
the reality of the situation.
00:26:06.93\00:26:11.37
Freedom of speech is
not allowed here still.
00:26:11.40\00:26:14.97
Preaching the
gospel out of doors
00:26:15.00\00:26:17.01
is not allowed here,
00:26:17.04\00:26:18.84
still whatever you
hear about reconciliation,
00:26:18.87\00:26:22.18
nothing has really changed.
00:26:22.21\00:26:25.25
We've been told, we cannot
run public campaigns in Cuba
00:26:25.28\00:26:30.99
in any part of this world.
00:26:31.02\00:26:33.76
We can run meetings in
churches, that's allowed.
00:26:33.79\00:26:36.99
So what are we going to do?
00:26:37.03\00:26:39.09
We're going to
support the people of God
00:26:39.13\00:26:40.63
in this part of the world.
00:26:40.66\00:26:42.00
We're going to
step through those doors
00:26:42.03\00:26:44.43
as God opens those doors.
00:26:44.47\00:26:47.10
We're not going to
come and cause a commotion
00:26:47.14\00:26:51.54
and cause trouble
to the people of God.
00:26:51.57\00:26:54.64
We will work diligently
00:26:54.68\00:26:57.41
and as wise as serpents
and as harmless as doves.
00:26:57.45\00:27:03.49
Stand with us in the
preaching of the gospel,
00:27:03.52\00:27:06.35
wherever it is, stand with us.

spiritual revolution,
00:27:21.37\00:27:24.57
as we take the Gospel of Christ
to the lost around the world
