A new world is coming,
00:00:01.83\00:00:03.97
governed by new
and different laws.
00:00:04.00\00:00:06.70
One day soon, the heavens
and the earth will pass away,
00:00:06.74\00:00:10.71
and a new world will be created.
00:00:10.74\00:00:13.48
What will existence
be like in this new age?
00:00:13.51\00:00:16.85
Who will inhabit this new world
where the old laws of decay
00:00:16.88\00:00:20.82
and death will be
replaced by the new laws
00:00:20.85\00:00:23.28
of endless
vitality and happiness?
00:00:23.32\00:00:26.25
Please join us
for the world to come.
00:00:26.29\00:00:29.26
I'm glad, when I turn
on the news every morning
00:00:35.96\00:00:40.34
and hear what's
going on in Washington
00:00:40.37\00:00:42.90
and around the world.
00:00:42.94\00:00:44.84
I'm glad, that I
believe in the world to come.
00:00:44.87\00:00:49.74
The topic today
is the world to come.
00:00:49.78\00:00:55.05
Bible prophecy teaches
that a tremendous New World
00:00:55.08\00:01:01.19
is about to burst
upon wandering humanity.
00:01:01.22\00:01:07.33
So the topic today
is the world to come.
00:01:07.36\00:01:11.87
Opening text is out
of the Book of Hebrews.
00:01:11.90\00:01:14.20
Hebrews 6:5.
00:01:14.24\00:01:17.11
If you take your
Bibles, I'm turning to the NKJV,
00:01:17.14\00:01:22.51
which is a very
popular additional translation
00:01:22.54\00:01:27.35
of the ancient scriptures.
00:01:27.38\00:01:29.28
Hebrews 6:5.
00:01:29.32\00:01:35.29
It says, "And have tasted
00:01:35.32\00:01:40.33
the good word of God..."
00:01:40.36\00:01:43.10
Now notice these
words, my friends.
00:01:43.13\00:01:45.60
"And the powers..."
00:01:45.63\00:01:47.27
What does it say?
00:01:47.30\00:01:49.07
"Of the age to come."
00:01:49.10\00:01:50.81
In the NIV translation it says,
00:01:50.84\00:01:54.54
"And the powers of
the world to come."
00:01:54.58\00:01:58.71
So the Bible teaches
that there is a beginning...
00:01:58.75\00:02:02.42
This is very important.
00:02:02.45\00:02:04.45
The Bible teaches the concept.
00:02:04.49\00:02:06.59
And this is a
scientific concept.
00:02:06.62\00:02:09.09
The Bible teaches the
concept of a beginning
00:02:09.12\00:02:13.13
and the Bible teaches
the concept of an end,
00:02:13.16\00:02:17.83
which us, ushers in the new age
00:02:17.87\00:02:21.60
or as it says in
other translations,
00:02:21.64\00:02:24.31
"the world to come."
00:02:24.34\00:02:28.21
I don't know if
anybody in the studio here
00:02:28.24\00:02:32.61
has had hitchhike.
00:02:32.65\00:02:34.85
Has anybody been a hitchhiker?
00:02:34.88\00:02:38.52
Well, obviously,
you had more money going
00:02:38.55\00:02:41.06
to college that I had.
00:02:41.09\00:02:44.16
Because when I went
to Avondale College,
00:02:44.19\00:02:47.53
I think I was
rich in true riches,
00:02:47.56\00:02:51.00
but I didn't
have a lot of money.
00:02:51.03\00:02:53.94
So when I wanted to
get from Avondale College,
00:02:53.97\00:02:56.97
up to my home of Brisbane,
I had to get out on the road,
00:02:57.01\00:03:01.61
and I had to hitchhike,
usually it took a day for me
00:03:01.64\00:03:06.08
to get home, it's a 550 miles.
00:03:06.11\00:03:08.92
But I'd be picked
up by semitrailers,
00:03:08.95\00:03:10.92
and sometimes
private cars, and...
00:03:10.95\00:03:13.25
I didn't have the
money to go by train,
00:03:13.29\00:03:15.92
so I hitchhiked.
00:03:15.96\00:03:18.79
But one vacation I
decided to take a friend of mine
00:03:18.83\00:03:22.80
at the college
home so he could get
00:03:22.83\00:03:26.17
some Australian hospitality.
00:03:26.20\00:03:29.47
His name was Prasad.
00:03:29.50\00:03:32.87
Prasad, he became my
best friend at college.
00:03:32.91\00:03:36.75
And he was as black,
as black, as black can be.
00:03:36.78\00:03:43.75
I didn't realize
what was going on.
00:03:43.79\00:03:46.65
But when Prasad and I got
out on the side of the road,
00:03:46.69\00:03:49.49
going to Brisbane on
the New England highway,
00:03:49.52\00:03:54.06
Prasad was
standing there beside me.
00:03:54.10\00:03:56.13
He's a black
guy. I'm a white guy.
00:03:56.16\00:04:00.10
I could get home in a day.
00:04:00.14\00:04:03.17
But with Prasad,
nobody would stop.
00:04:03.20\00:04:08.04
Where shows
there was a little bit
00:04:08.08\00:04:10.15
of real racism
operating in Australia,
00:04:10.18\00:04:14.65
that's something that
people would not mention,
00:04:14.68\00:04:17.15
they would not admit to it.
00:04:17.19\00:04:21.22
He's a black guy.
00:04:21.26\00:04:22.89
In fact, he was a black
guy who came from India.
00:04:22.92\00:04:28.93
He's a Christian gentleman.
00:04:28.96\00:04:31.83
But we took three
days and three nights.
00:04:31.87\00:04:36.34
It was the middle of winter,
00:04:36.37\00:04:39.04
and neither of
us had an overcoat,
00:04:39.07\00:04:41.38
or a trench coat,
or some people call it.
00:04:41.41\00:04:43.81
We went up to
New England highway.
00:04:43.85\00:04:46.55
We got to a place
by the name of Gara.
00:04:46.58\00:04:51.12
Oh, it was sleeting,
00:04:51.15\00:04:54.12
and raining, and snowing.
00:04:54.16\00:04:58.19
By the time we got there,
00:04:58.23\00:04:59.59
we hadn't eaten
for more than two days.
00:04:59.63\00:05:04.03
We just young
guys, we had appetites,
00:05:04.07\00:05:07.37
we're just hungry.
00:05:07.40\00:05:10.91
We spent a night
in a telephone booth.
00:05:10.94\00:05:16.38
You know what a
telephone booth is,
00:05:16.41\00:05:17.75
don't you?
00:05:17.78\00:05:19.11
Yeah, you see them on Doctor Who
00:05:19.15\00:05:21.45
in that British series.
00:05:21.48\00:05:24.55
You know why we spend
tonight in the telephone booth?
00:05:24.59\00:05:28.46
Keep the rain and the cold off.
00:05:28.49\00:05:31.19
It was freezing.
00:05:31.23\00:05:33.46
Now we were wet,
and we were cold,
00:05:33.50\00:05:35.33
and we were miserable.
00:05:35.36\00:05:37.83
And on the third day, we had
on the road again just hoping,
00:05:37.87\00:05:41.74
and praying, and a
semitrailer stopped.
00:05:41.77\00:05:44.91
We got into the
cabin of the semitrailer.
00:05:44.94\00:05:47.74
It was so, so
warm. Just so nice.
00:05:47.78\00:05:53.65
Then we traveled on
another hundred miles
00:05:53.68\00:05:55.42
or so up to Tenterfield,
00:05:55.45\00:05:57.42
and we came to
the top of the range.
00:05:57.45\00:05:59.52
As we came down the range,
00:05:59.55\00:06:02.02
I saw something
that was really good,
00:06:02.06\00:06:08.53
the lights of home.
00:06:08.56\00:06:10.87
When you're cold, and
you would spend a night
00:06:10.90\00:06:13.44
in a telephone booth,
00:06:13.47\00:06:15.57
it's sure hard to
beat the lights of home.
00:06:15.60\00:06:19.34
Because I knew when I got
home, I would have a welcome.
00:06:19.37\00:06:25.25
I knew that Prasad and I would
be safe, and we would be sound.
00:06:25.28\00:06:31.09
I knew that
there would be hot soup
00:06:31.12\00:06:34.56
and as we call
them in Australia,
00:06:34.59\00:06:36.62
they would be rissoles,
we call them patties here
00:06:36.66\00:06:40.46
in the United States of America.
00:06:40.50\00:06:42.13
I knew that we will be
able to have a hot shower
00:06:42.16\00:06:46.80
and we would have a warm bed.
00:06:46.84\00:06:50.54
Listen to me.
00:06:50.57\00:06:53.24
When you've been
traveling, and the traveling
00:06:53.27\00:06:56.18
is not all that good,
00:06:56.21\00:06:59.71
it's great to
know you're going home.
00:06:59.75\00:07:04.42
And today, I'm going to
talk to you about going home.
00:07:04.45\00:07:10.33
I want you to
turn in your Bibles
00:07:10.36\00:07:11.93
to John 14:1-3,
00:07:11.96\00:07:16.90
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:07:16.93\00:07:20.14
John 14:1-3.
00:07:20.17\00:07:27.04
Jesus said,
00:07:27.08\00:07:28.41
"Let not your
hearts be troubled..."
00:07:28.44\00:07:30.65
Look at the text.
00:07:30.68\00:07:32.71
He said, "You believe
in God, believe also in Me.
00:07:32.75\00:07:36.32
In my Father's house..."
00:07:36.35\00:07:37.89
Put that in your mind.
00:07:37.92\00:07:39.25
"In My Father's house,
many mansions, lots of rooms,
00:07:39.29\00:07:44.53
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
00:07:44.56\00:07:47.33
I go to prepare a place for you.
00:07:47.36\00:07:49.00
And if I go and
prepare a place for you,
00:07:49.03\00:07:52.23
I will come again
and receive you to Myself
00:07:52.27\00:07:55.30
that where I am
there you may be also."
00:07:55.34\00:08:01.24
Listen to this because
00:08:01.28\00:08:02.61
I'm going to
tell you stuff today
00:08:02.64\00:08:03.98
that you won't hear on
any other television program.
00:08:04.01\00:08:06.78
This is a fact.
00:08:06.82\00:08:09.65
There's a place that
is called in the Bible,
00:08:09.68\00:08:12.69
the Father's house.
00:08:12.72\00:08:16.62
It's a separate place.
It's a different place.
00:08:16.66\00:08:20.06
And Jesus said, I'm going
to go to my Father's house
00:08:20.10\00:08:23.97
and in my Father's house
there's plenty good room.
00:08:24.00\00:08:28.80
The Bible teaches, actually,
there are three heavens.
00:08:28.84\00:08:34.08
Now most folks don't
get this, but this is true,
00:08:34.11\00:08:36.41
there are three heavens.
00:08:36.44\00:08:38.15
You read about them in
2 Corinthians 12:2 and 4,
00:08:38.18\00:08:45.12
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:08:45.15\00:08:46.49
2 Corinthians Chapter 12 and...
00:08:46.52\00:08:51.33
Chapter 12 it is.
00:08:51.36\00:08:52.79
2 Corinthians 12:2.
00:08:52.83\00:08:57.43
This man says, Paul
says, "No man in Christ
00:08:57.47\00:09:01.30
who fourteen years ago,
00:09:01.34\00:09:03.10
whether in the
body I do not know,
00:09:03.14\00:09:06.07
or whether out of the
body I do not know, God knows.
00:09:06.11\00:09:10.41
Such a one was
caught up to" where?
00:09:10.45\00:09:13.01
What does it say in the Bible?
00:09:13.05\00:09:15.12
Have a look at it.
00:09:15.15\00:09:16.52
It says, "Such a
one was caught up
00:09:16.55\00:09:18.55
to the third heaven."
00:09:18.59\00:09:19.92
And if you come
to verse 4, it says,
00:09:19.95\00:09:21.52
"How he was
caught up into Paradise
00:09:21.56\00:09:25.43
and heard inexpressible words,
00:09:25.46\00:09:27.70
which it is not
lawful for a man to utter."
00:09:27.73\00:09:31.77
So the Bible teaches
there are three heavens
00:09:31.80\00:09:35.64
and the Bible says,
"The third heaven is a place
00:09:35.67\00:09:39.41
which is called
paradise," which would be...
00:09:39.44\00:09:45.08
This would be
the Father's house.
00:09:45.11\00:09:49.52
So let's talk for
a little bit today
00:09:49.55\00:09:51.32
about these three heavens.
00:09:51.35\00:09:54.59
The first heaven
is the atmosphere
00:09:54.62\00:09:57.49
around this earth.
00:09:57.53\00:10:00.16
And that is described
00:10:00.20\00:10:01.53
in the Book of Revelation 19:17.
00:10:01.56\00:10:05.70
Please notice it in the
Bible, Revelation 19:17.
00:10:05.73\00:10:12.01
"Then I saw an
angel standing in the sun,
00:10:12.04\00:10:15.54
cried with a loud
voice, saying to all the birds
00:10:15.58\00:10:18.45
that fly in the
midst of heaven."
00:10:18.48\00:10:21.72
It's not talking about
the stars, the atmosphere.
00:10:21.75\00:10:25.45
"Come and gather together
00:10:25.49\00:10:26.89
for the supper
of the great God."
00:10:26.92\00:10:29.26
So the Bible says
that there is a heaven
00:10:29.29\00:10:31.96
where the birds fly.
00:10:31.99\00:10:33.50
We call this the
atmospheric heaven.
00:10:33.53\00:10:37.33
The Bible says, it's going
to be renewed, it needs to be.
00:10:37.37\00:10:44.14
It is so
polluted today by carbon.
00:10:44.17\00:10:48.31
There are great chimneys
00:10:48.34\00:10:49.94
that are continually pumping out
00:10:49.98\00:10:52.35
into the first
heaven a vast mass of filth
00:10:52.38\00:10:57.29
and garbage which is
destroying the earth.
00:10:57.32\00:11:01.46
And the earth is now
after a long time starting
00:11:01.49\00:11:03.96
to protest, and the
earth is running a fever.
00:11:03.99\00:11:08.90
Even though it's
disputed by some people,
00:11:08.93\00:11:10.93
there is no dispute among
scientists and educated people.
00:11:10.97\00:11:17.44
Years ago, in Thousand Oaks,
I was jogging as I often do
00:11:17.47\00:11:22.24
get outside walking, and
I was jogging after there
00:11:22.28\00:11:25.41
had been a tremendous fire.
00:11:25.45\00:11:28.52
So there were all these ashes,
I was running over these ashes.
00:11:28.55\00:11:33.96
And I got a thing in my lungs,
which is called valley fever.
00:11:33.99\00:11:36.86
Ever heard of it?
00:11:36.89\00:11:38.59
It's a terrible thing,
00:11:38.63\00:11:39.96
it lives here in
this part of the world.
00:11:40.00\00:11:41.76
It's valley fever, it's
not a virus, not a germ,
00:11:41.80\00:11:48.00
it's a fungus.
00:11:48.04\00:11:50.11
I've got the remnant
still here in my chest.
00:11:50.14\00:11:53.04
When they look at
my chest they say,
00:11:53.07\00:11:54.41
"Hey, what do you got?"
00:11:54.44\00:11:55.78
No, it's okay. The
remnants of valley fever.
00:11:55.81\00:11:59.81
I had a fever for two
weeks, but I'd get out of bed,
00:11:59.85\00:12:03.25
I take some tablets,
get my temperature down.
00:12:03.28\00:12:06.25
I'd get outside and
I'd walk with this thing,
00:12:06.29\00:12:08.22
I'm not gonna let
this thing beat me.
00:12:08.26\00:12:10.33
I wasn't going to die in
bed, but I was burning up.
00:12:10.36\00:12:16.43
The Bible tells us right now
00:12:16.46\00:12:18.57
because of the
sins of the human race,
00:12:18.60\00:12:21.34
planet earth is running a fever
00:12:21.37\00:12:26.44
and it's burning up.
00:12:26.47\00:12:28.74
The earth is sick.
00:12:28.78\00:12:30.71
It is a scientific fact,
00:12:30.75\00:12:33.68
undeniable that
the poles are melting
00:12:33.72\00:12:36.95
because I know, no,
it's propaganda, false news.
00:12:36.99\00:12:40.36
No, no, the poles are melting.
00:12:40.39\00:12:42.72
Even the seas that act
like great sponges to soak up
00:12:42.76\00:12:47.00
the carbon are running hot.
00:12:47.03\00:12:49.66
And that's why the hurricanes
are getting more deadly,
00:12:49.70\00:12:52.60
one, two, three,
four, five category.
00:12:52.63\00:12:55.57
Scientists now are
about to name category six
00:12:55.60\00:12:59.64
because the
hurricanes are going to be
00:12:59.67\00:13:01.34
worse than
anything we can imagine.
00:13:01.38\00:13:05.55
We are chopping down
00:13:05.58\00:13:06.92
the forest of the mighty Amazon.
00:13:06.95\00:13:09.95
Those forests are
the lungs of the world.
00:13:09.98\00:13:13.62
We're raping the earth.
00:13:13.66\00:13:16.62
You know why we're doing it?
00:13:16.66\00:13:19.63
For money.
00:13:19.66\00:13:23.23
And the people
who deny it or deny it
00:13:23.26\00:13:26.17
because they know money!
00:13:26.20\00:13:32.87
I was born in a
place in Australia,
00:13:32.91\00:13:34.74
a state called Queensland,
named after the queen,
00:13:34.78\00:13:37.68
Queen Victoria.
00:13:37.71\00:13:40.12
The Queenslanders are
cutting down the trees
00:13:40.15\00:13:44.55
in Queensland twice as
fast as they're doing it
00:13:44.59\00:13:49.12
in Brazil, in the Amazon.
00:13:49.16\00:13:51.93
You know why? A lust for money.
00:13:51.96\00:13:58.17
The earth, the
seas, the forests,
00:13:58.20\00:14:02.07
and the atmosphere are
crying out for vengeance
00:14:02.10\00:14:08.14
and deliverance.
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.48
And this will usher
in the world to come.
00:14:10.51\00:14:14.02
So the first heaven,
atmosphere, the second heaven,
00:14:14.05\00:14:18.19
the universe or stars.
00:14:18.22\00:14:20.39
Notice Psalm 19:1 and
2, the universe, stars.
00:14:20.42\00:14:26.19
"The heavens
declare the glory of God,
00:14:26.23\00:14:29.20
the firmament of
God shows His handiwork.
00:14:29.23\00:14:32.03
Day unto day, utters speech.
00:14:32.07\00:14:34.17
And night unto
night reveals knowledge."
00:14:34.20\00:14:36.84
The Bible talks number
one, the atmosphere, number two,
00:14:36.87\00:14:40.78
the stellar heavens.
00:14:40.81\00:14:43.24
We are a tiny part
of the Milky Way system
00:14:43.28\00:14:47.52
on this galaxy.
00:14:47.55\00:14:49.28
Our galaxy contains
200 billion blazing suns.
00:14:49.32\00:14:54.82
Our galaxy right
at the very heart,
00:14:54.86\00:14:57.43
right at the very
heart of our galaxy
00:14:57.46\00:15:00.63
of 200 billion suns,
00:15:00.66\00:15:02.96
at the very
heart is a black hole.
00:15:03.00\00:15:06.87
And this causes
00:15:06.90\00:15:09.74
this great galaxy to
move around the center
00:15:09.77\00:15:12.94
about 30,000 light years,
00:15:12.97\00:15:16.18
30,000 or 40,000 light years
00:15:16.21\00:15:18.45
from the center of our
galaxy is planet earth.
00:15:18.48\00:15:25.25
It's protected by
an arm of the galaxy
00:15:25.29\00:15:28.46
that saves us from radiation.
00:15:28.49\00:15:32.86
It's impossible for us to live
00:15:32.89\00:15:35.70
in any other
place in our galaxy.
00:15:35.73\00:15:39.63
How did it happen?
00:15:39.67\00:15:41.77
Let me tell you something
that virtually nobody knows
00:15:41.80\00:15:44.37
except the scientists.
00:15:44.41\00:15:45.91
We are on this planet
that has a front seat view
00:15:45.94\00:15:52.05
of the entire universe.
00:15:52.08\00:15:56.25
We can look out with
an unobstructed view.
00:15:56.28\00:16:00.26
It almost appears as
though somebody wants us
00:16:00.29\00:16:05.39
to look out an
unobstructed view.
00:16:05.43\00:16:11.00
Listen to this, this is,
00:16:11.03\00:16:13.44
we can't take it in.
00:16:13.47\00:16:16.10
In the universe,
00:16:16.14\00:16:17.47
there are at least
200 billion galaxies.
00:16:17.51\00:16:21.11
I'm not talking about stars,
00:16:21.14\00:16:22.48
I'm talking about
galaxies, 200 billion.
00:16:22.51\00:16:24.71
But the latest estimate
now is that we're wrong,
00:16:24.75\00:16:27.58
it's really 2 trillion,
at least 2 trillion galaxies,
00:16:27.62\00:16:31.95
and each of
those galaxies contain
00:16:31.99\00:16:34.59
about 200 billion blazing suns,
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.69
plus many smaller galaxies,
00:16:37.73\00:16:39.89
black holes,
comets, and planets.
00:16:39.93\00:16:43.40
Now listen very carefully.
00:16:43.43\00:16:47.04
I appeal to the
atheist, the cynic.
00:16:47.07\00:16:52.34
Listen, we're
not talking religion.
00:16:52.37\00:16:55.71
Listen.
00:16:55.74\00:16:58.61
It is now the consensus
00:16:58.65\00:17:00.15
that the
universe had a beginning.
00:17:00.18\00:17:03.75
For hundreds of years,
the scientific world said,
00:17:03.79\00:17:06.02
"No, the universe
never had a beginning.
00:17:06.05\00:17:08.16
And therefore they taught
the idea of the steady state."
00:17:08.19\00:17:13.60
Scientists did
not want to concede
00:17:13.63\00:17:17.17
that our
universe had a beginning
00:17:17.20\00:17:20.24
because of the
theological consequences
00:17:20.27\00:17:23.10
and implications,
00:17:23.14\00:17:24.47
because a
beginning means a beginner.
00:17:24.51\00:17:28.91
You know what I'm talking about.
00:17:28.94\00:17:31.38
A beginning means
that there is a beginner.
00:17:31.41\00:17:35.68
And therefore scientists
said, "We can't believe in this.
00:17:35.72\00:17:38.02
We believe in the
steady state of the universe.
00:17:38.05\00:17:39.92
It's always been there."
00:17:39.95\00:17:42.62
Another thing was
very embarrassing.
00:17:42.66\00:17:44.69
This is the scientific
truth, this is not religious.
00:17:44.73\00:17:48.33
The evolutionary theory says
that life came from non life
00:17:48.36\00:17:53.30
and by itself would
take not billions of years,
00:17:53.34\00:17:56.84
but trillions, and trillions,
and trillions of years.
00:17:56.87\00:18:00.61
Therefore, they
have to have a universe
00:18:00.64\00:18:02.24
that had no beginning.
00:18:02.28\00:18:05.31
But now we know that
the universe came into being
00:18:05.35\00:18:10.79
in relatively recent times.
00:18:10.82\00:18:13.42
I'm not talking
about planet earth,
00:18:13.46\00:18:16.22
I am talking
about the great cosmos.
00:18:16.26\00:18:20.13
And every
scientist in the world,
00:18:20.16\00:18:21.56
whether he's an atheist,
or a Christian, or whatever,
00:18:21.60\00:18:26.27
every scientist believes
00:18:26.30\00:18:28.10
from the
exploration of the universe
00:18:28.14\00:18:30.94
that the
universe came into being
00:18:30.97\00:18:32.84
13.8 billion years ago.
00:18:32.87\00:18:37.11
He said, "No, no,
but that's just made up."
00:18:37.15\00:18:39.38
No, it's not a made up story.
00:18:39.41\00:18:42.92
They can see it now
with the telescopes.
00:18:42.95\00:18:47.72
They know when
the universe was born.
00:18:47.76\00:18:52.19
It is an established fact
and we can argue over religion,
00:18:52.23\00:18:56.26
but don't argue over facts.
00:18:56.30\00:19:00.50
Now please turn
with me to Genesis 1:1.
00:19:00.54\00:19:03.64
My dear friends, Genesis1:1.
00:19:03.67\00:19:08.41
Probably the greatest statement
that has ever been made
00:19:08.44\00:19:11.41
in the history of the
world, "In the beginning
00:19:11.45\00:19:16.62
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:19:16.65\00:19:20.36
Even Einstein for many years
00:19:23.39\00:19:24.99
did not believe
in the beginning.
00:19:25.03\00:19:26.86
He said, "No, it's
always been there."
00:19:26.90\00:19:28.40
No, it hasn't always been there.
00:19:28.43\00:19:30.87
There was a beginning.
00:19:30.90\00:19:35.44
And if there was a beginning,
00:19:35.47\00:19:38.47
there was a beginner.
00:19:38.51\00:19:42.74
Listen to me, a
lot of this stuff,
00:19:42.78\00:19:45.15
you're never going
to hear in a church,
00:19:45.18\00:19:46.98
not in a million years.
00:19:47.02\00:19:49.98
Listen to this.
00:19:50.02\00:19:51.52
The Bible says,
00:19:51.55\00:19:54.22
"The time started."
00:19:54.26\00:19:56.66
It actually says in the Bible,
00:19:56.69\00:19:59.36
"Before time began,
00:19:59.39\00:20:04.23
there was a time
when there was no time."
00:20:04.27\00:20:07.77
We now know, this
is a scientific fact
00:20:10.91\00:20:14.78
that before the
beginning of our cosmos,
00:20:14.81\00:20:18.55
there was no time.
00:20:18.58\00:20:19.91
So silly to talk
about God having a beginning
00:20:22.88\00:20:26.55
because there was no time.
00:20:26.59\00:20:27.92
At the very beginning,
00:20:31.19\00:20:33.29
four forces came into
being in the universe.
00:20:33.33\00:20:36.06
This is scientific truth.
00:20:36.10\00:20:37.83
Nothing to do with theology,
nothing to do with churches.
00:20:37.87\00:20:42.47
There were four forces
00:20:42.50\00:20:43.84
that were
created at the beginning.
00:20:43.87\00:20:47.81
Its gravity,
00:20:47.84\00:20:50.45
strong nuclear force,
00:20:50.48\00:20:53.68
weak nuclear force,
00:20:53.72\00:20:56.99
and electromagnetism,
00:20:57.02\00:20:58.85
four forces.
00:20:58.89\00:21:00.42
These forces had not
existed before the beginning,
00:21:00.46\00:21:05.53
gravity, electromagnetism,
00:21:05.56\00:21:07.20
strong nuclear force,
the weak nuclear force.
00:21:07.23\00:21:10.00
Listen to me,
00:21:10.03\00:21:12.20
if you're an atheist
00:21:12.23\00:21:13.67
I want to appeal
to you about this.
00:21:13.70\00:21:16.87
It's no good
saying I'm an atheist
00:21:16.91\00:21:18.24
because I want to be an atheist,
00:21:18.27\00:21:19.61
that's dishonesty.
00:21:19.64\00:21:22.11
We need to be
intellectually honest.
00:21:22.14\00:21:24.01
If these forces
that were created
00:21:27.05\00:21:30.79
when time was created
in the beginning 13.78
00:21:30.82\00:21:36.86
or so give or take a
bit billion years ago,
00:21:36.89\00:21:40.83
if these forces
had been out of sync,
00:21:40.86\00:21:44.93
out of balance
by one quadrillionth
00:21:44.97\00:21:49.54
of one quadrillionth,
of one quadrillionth,
00:21:49.57\00:21:52.61
of one quadrillionth,
of one quadrillionth of 1%,
00:21:52.64\00:21:57.45
we wouldn't be
sitting here today.
00:21:57.48\00:21:59.98
The universe
would have exploded.
00:22:00.02\00:22:02.82
You say, I don't believe it.
00:22:02.85\00:22:04.19
Well, you don't
have to believe it,
00:22:04.22\00:22:05.55
but it's science.
00:22:05.59\00:22:06.92
It's the truth. It's the fact.
00:22:06.96\00:22:09.96
And that is why so
many scientists today
00:22:09.99\00:22:12.76
have come in out of
the cold and they say,
00:22:12.79\00:22:15.93
"Hey, if there is a beginning,
there's got to be a beginner.
00:22:15.96\00:22:20.90
I've talked a little
bit in some of my lectures
00:22:23.94\00:22:25.91
about dark
energy and dark matter.
00:22:25.94\00:22:29.18
Oh, just want to
talk about a little more
00:22:29.21\00:22:31.38
because it's so important.
00:22:31.41\00:22:34.35
What is it?
00:22:34.38\00:22:36.08
Haven't got a clue?
00:22:36.12\00:22:38.22
Does any scientist at
present know what it is?
00:22:38.25\00:22:40.09
No.
00:22:40.12\00:22:41.46
Will they
discover one day? Maybe.
00:22:41.49\00:22:44.96
But this stuff which is called
00:22:44.99\00:22:47.36
dark matter and dark energy
comprises 99% of the universe.
00:22:47.40\00:22:54.30
You say, "Well,
it's because we just,
00:22:54.34\00:22:57.27
were not available to see it.
00:22:57.31\00:22:58.64
We don't have telescope."
00:22:58.67\00:23:00.01
No, no, that's not the point.
00:23:00.04\00:23:01.38
It can't be seen.
00:23:01.41\00:23:04.98
We can't live without it.
00:23:05.01\00:23:07.95
It can't be seen.
00:23:07.98\00:23:10.02
But we know it's there
because it's got a force.
00:23:10.05\00:23:14.52
The dark energy lives on
the surface of the universe
00:23:14.56\00:23:19.09
and drives the
expansion of the universe.
00:23:19.13\00:23:22.20
You say the
expansion of the universe?
00:23:22.23\00:23:24.00
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:24.03\00:23:26.43
It is a scientific fact,
00:23:26.47\00:23:27.90
you don't, can't argue about it,
00:23:27.94\00:23:30.91
because it can be seen,
the universe is expanding.
00:23:30.94\00:23:35.24
And this is one reason
00:23:38.31\00:23:39.65
scientists have come to
believe in the beginning
00:23:39.68\00:23:44.15
because if it's
expanding out like this,
00:23:44.19\00:23:47.56
then it had a start, you see.
00:23:47.59\00:23:50.99
Had a beginning and
that is why so many today
00:23:51.03\00:23:54.10
are coming in out of
the cold and they're saying,
00:23:54.13\00:23:56.77
"If there's a beginning,
then there must be a beginner."
00:23:56.80\00:24:01.60
Listen to this.
00:24:01.64\00:24:03.27
Now this is a new
idea for most of us.
00:24:03.30\00:24:07.21
A few years ago
it dawned upon me
00:24:07.24\00:24:09.54
as I studied this.
00:24:09.58\00:24:10.91
The Bible talks
about the universe,
00:24:10.95\00:24:16.15
the second heaven...
00:24:16.18\00:24:17.65
First is atmosphere, the
second, stellar the stars.
00:24:17.69\00:24:22.16
And the Bible talks
about the Father's house.
00:24:22.19\00:24:26.86
Now the Father... Now
put your thinking caps on.
00:24:26.90\00:24:32.00
The Father existed before time.
00:24:32.03\00:24:36.84
The Father existed before 13.78
00:24:36.87\00:24:41.28
or so billion years.
00:24:41.31\00:24:44.58
And the Father was a
part from our creation.
00:24:44.61\00:24:51.35
That's a fact.
00:24:51.39\00:24:53.82
The Father is not a
part of our creation.
00:24:53.86\00:24:58.06
He was there and
He made the universe.
00:24:58.09\00:25:03.87
Now listen to this.
00:25:03.90\00:25:08.34
What I'm telling you is
not only biblical truth,
00:25:08.37\00:25:10.74
prophetic truth, it
is scientific truth.
00:25:10.77\00:25:13.88
Listen carefully, concentrate.
00:25:13.91\00:25:17.38
The Bible says that the earth
is going to get so polluted,
00:25:17.41\00:25:24.29
that the earth is
going to come into a place
00:25:24.32\00:25:29.79
where God is going to intervene.
00:25:29.82\00:25:32.79
Say, "No." Yes.
00:25:32.83\00:25:35.13
"No." Yes.
00:25:35.16\00:25:38.57
And when God intervenes,
00:25:38.60\00:25:41.54
He is going to make a new heaven
00:25:41.57\00:25:47.08
and a new earth.
00:25:47.11\00:25:50.18
This whole thing
00:25:50.21\00:25:51.55
that I've shown you
on the screen today,
00:25:51.58\00:25:55.25
this is not speculation,
00:25:55.28\00:25:56.65
this is not church talk,
00:25:56.69\00:25:59.82
this is
scientific, it is biblical,
00:25:59.85\00:26:03.46
and He's going
to make a new heaven
00:26:03.49\00:26:05.46
and a new earth.
00:26:05.49\00:26:06.83
We'll talk about
that in our next segment.
00:26:06.86\00:26:09.76

Time, it takes only a
minute to have eternal life.
00:27:25.91\00:27:29.78
How can you get
saved in a minute?
00:27:29.81\00:27:31.68
It's simple.
00:27:31.71\00:27:33.05
First, believe that
Jesus was the Son of God.
00:27:33.08\00:27:35.58
Second, accept His
free gift of eternal life
00:27:35.62\00:27:38.55
and then you're saved.
00:27:38.59\00:27:40.56
It's not hard. It
doesn't take any time.
00:27:40.59\00:27:43.32
You can be saved
in a minute right now.
00:27:43.36\00:27:46.33
Pray with me, "Lord God, I
realize that I am a sinner.
00:27:46.36\00:27:50.53
My sin has
separated me from You.
00:27:50.57\00:27:52.90
I accept that Your Son
Jesus Christ died for me.
00:27:52.93\00:27:55.84
I ask Jesus into my heart."
00:27:55.87\00:27:57.97
If you prayed this
prayer, you are saved.
00:27:58.01\00:28:00.84
The next thing to
do is, tell someone.
00:28:00.88\00:28:03.55
Fellowship with other followers
of Jesus, get baptized,
00:28:03.58\00:28:07.78
read your Bible, and pray.
00:28:07.82\00:28:09.92
Choices, we make
them every day, all day.
00:28:09.95\00:28:13.56
The most important
choice you'll make in your life
00:28:13.59\00:28:16.46
is whether to
choose eternal life
00:28:16.49\00:28:18.43
or let it pass you by.
