A new world is coming,
00:00:01.90\00:00:03.97
governed by new
and different laws.
00:00:04.00\00:00:06.67
One day soon,
00:00:06.70\00:00:08.20
the heavens and the
earth will pass away,
00:00:08.24\00:00:10.81
and a new world will be created.
00:00:10.84\00:00:13.38
What will existence
be like in this new age?
00:00:13.41\00:00:16.98
Who will inhabit this new world
00:00:17.01\00:00:19.08
where the old
laws of decay and death
00:00:19.11\00:00:21.28
will be replaced
00:00:21.32\00:00:22.65
by the new laws
of endless vitality
00:00:22.68\00:00:24.52
and happiness?
00:00:24.55\00:00:26.22
Please join us for
"The World To Come."
00:00:26.25\00:00:29.02
Welcome back, my friend.
00:00:34.80\00:00:36.13
We're talking about
"The World To Come."
00:00:36.16\00:00:39.53
We're talking about
God creating a new heaven
00:00:39.57\00:00:42.30
and a new earth.
00:00:42.34\00:00:44.67
We're talking about
God creating a new cosmos.
00:00:44.71\00:00:48.21
And this is
described in the scriptures
00:00:48.24\00:00:51.08
that God is going to
have a brand new world
00:00:51.11\00:00:54.22
with brand new people,
00:00:54.25\00:00:57.32
and you can be a part of this.
00:00:57.35\00:01:00.32
Would you come in
the Bible to 2 Peter 3:7.
00:01:00.36\00:01:05.89
Now I have lots of folks
who say when they hear this,
00:01:05.93\00:01:08.60
never knew about this before,
never heard this in church,
00:01:08.63\00:01:11.73
and didn't know
about the scientific truth,
00:01:11.77\00:01:14.67
but just listen
00:01:14.70\00:01:16.04
because you'll hear
things at the Carter Report
00:01:16.07\00:01:18.54
that you're not going
to hear anywhere else.
00:01:18.57\00:01:21.08
2 Peter 3:7.
00:01:21.11\00:01:24.68
"But the heavens and the earth
00:01:24.71\00:01:26.92
which are now
preserved by the same word,
00:01:26.95\00:01:30.79
are reserved for fire
until the day of judgment
00:01:30.82\00:01:34.26
and perdition of ungodly men."
00:01:34.29\00:01:36.99
The Bible says
00:01:37.03\00:01:38.36
that there is coming a day
of total destruction by fire
00:01:38.39\00:01:43.40
and the heavens are
going to be destroyed.
00:01:43.43\00:01:46.13
Now if you look at verse
10 and verse 13, it says,
00:01:46.17\00:01:51.27
"But the day of the Lord
00:01:51.31\00:01:52.64
will come as a
thief in the night..."
00:01:52.67\00:01:54.98
People are not
going to be ready.
00:01:55.01\00:01:56.88
They're not going to be
expecting this amazing event.
00:01:56.91\00:02:00.52
"The day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night,
00:02:00.55\00:02:03.39
in which the heavens
00:02:03.42\00:02:04.95
will pass away
with a great noise."
00:02:04.99\00:02:07.36
That's talking
about the stellar events,
00:02:07.39\00:02:10.19
atmosphere too.
00:02:10.23\00:02:11.89
Whole lot of it says,
00:02:11.93\00:02:14.06
"The heavens will pass
away with a great noise,
00:02:14.10\00:02:17.77
and the elements will
melt with fervent heat,
00:02:17.80\00:02:21.47
the cosmos catches on fire,
00:02:21.50\00:02:25.17
both the earth and the works
00:02:25.21\00:02:26.98
that are in it
will be burned up."
00:02:27.01\00:02:31.35
And verse 13 says,
and this is the good news,
00:02:31.38\00:02:34.82
"Nevertheless we,
according to His promise,
00:02:34.85\00:02:37.82
look for new
heavens and a new earth
00:02:37.85\00:02:41.59
in which righteousness dwells."
00:02:41.62\00:02:45.26
Listen, I'll
tell you stuff here,
00:02:45.29\00:02:47.30
I know it's pretty
heavy and people said,
00:02:47.33\00:02:49.36
they don't hear this
sort of stuff in church,
00:02:49.40\00:02:52.20
talk about science,
the Bible, and prophecy.
00:02:52.23\00:02:54.70
Yes we do.
00:02:54.74\00:02:57.11
We don't tell people who
come to the Carter Report
00:02:57.14\00:02:59.31
to check their
brains in at the door.
00:02:59.34\00:03:02.14
We say, "Bring
your brains with you."
00:03:02.18\00:03:03.91
And you can think
about these things.
00:03:03.95\00:03:05.91
And you can
question these things.
00:03:05.95\00:03:08.42
Now, the first
segment of this program,
00:03:08.45\00:03:10.89
we spoke about the
vastness of the universe.
00:03:10.92\00:03:15.36
Two trillion galaxies.
00:03:15.39\00:03:18.39
Each galaxy consists of
200 billion blazing sun,
00:03:18.43\00:03:24.13
trillions of planets.
00:03:24.17\00:03:27.24
But the Bible tells us
00:03:27.27\00:03:28.60
that this whole
thing had a beginning.
00:03:28.64\00:03:31.64
Scientists call it the Big Bang,
00:03:31.67\00:03:33.04
you can call it what you like,
00:03:33.07\00:03:35.84
but there was a time
when there was nothing,
00:03:35.88\00:03:38.45
there was no time,
00:03:38.48\00:03:40.15
and all of a sudden the
vast universe was created.
00:03:40.18\00:03:43.28
And since then it
has been expanding
00:03:43.32\00:03:46.19
at a tremendous velocity,
going out, and out, and out.
00:03:46.22\00:03:50.63
Therefore, it is
doomed to destruction.
00:03:50.66\00:03:57.50
And the Bible says
that when the human race
00:03:57.53\00:04:00.34
so violate this planet,
00:04:00.37\00:04:04.77
when they destroy this planet
00:04:04.81\00:04:06.24
with terrible
gases and nuclear wars,
00:04:06.27\00:04:11.58
which is described in
the Book of Revelation.
00:04:11.61\00:04:13.78
When these things happen,
00:04:13.82\00:04:15.15
the Bible says
that all mighty God
00:04:15.18\00:04:18.05
will step into the
history of the human race
00:04:18.09\00:04:21.12
for the second time.
00:04:21.16\00:04:23.06
And the Bible says,
00:04:23.09\00:04:24.43
"Almighty God,
the great prime mover,
00:04:24.46\00:04:27.63
the one who
started the whole thing.
00:04:27.66\00:04:30.30
He's going to create
new heavens and a new earth.
00:04:30.33\00:04:35.90
Not oblivion,
00:04:35.94\00:04:38.91
but a new glorious creation.
00:04:38.94\00:04:43.01
Question is that
comes into my mind today
00:04:43.04\00:04:45.38
is what will it be like?
00:04:45.41\00:04:48.68
If there's going to
come a new creation,
00:04:48.72\00:04:51.09
what on earth is
it going to be like?
00:04:51.12\00:04:53.66
The Bible says, "It's
going to be a creation,
00:04:53.69\00:04:56.96
no sin, no pain and no deaths.
00:04:56.99\00:05:03.16
Now please come to
the words of Christ,
00:05:03.20\00:05:05.50
the Son of God, the
Creator of the universe.
00:05:05.53\00:05:08.27
In John 11:25 and 26.
00:05:08.30\00:05:12.27
John 11:25 and 26,
"Jesus said to her,
00:05:12.31\00:05:19.18
'I'm the
resurrection and the life.
00:05:19.21\00:05:21.82
He who believes in Me,
00:05:21.85\00:05:23.82
though he may
die..." Listen to this.
00:05:23.85\00:05:26.19
"Though He may die,
00:05:26.22\00:05:28.82
he shall live,
00:05:28.86\00:05:30.99
and whoever lives
and believes in Me
00:05:31.03\00:05:32.86
shall never die.
00:05:32.89\00:05:34.23
Do you believe this?'"
00:05:34.26\00:05:36.70
Last night, I was talking
to a friend on the phone,
00:05:36.73\00:05:40.40
and the friend said to
me, "When I die, that's it?
00:05:40.44\00:05:44.97
I'm finished. I know this."
00:05:45.01\00:05:47.78
I said, "No, no,
that's not the end.
00:05:47.81\00:05:49.58
You can live for..."
00:05:49.61\00:05:50.95
"Oh, that's just
what you want to believe."
00:05:50.98\00:05:52.31
"No, it's not just
what I want to believe."
00:05:52.35\00:05:54.18
I believe it not
because I want to believe it,
00:05:54.22\00:05:56.55
I believe it because
it is the truth," you see.
00:05:56.58\00:06:01.66
The hardest thing to pry open
00:06:01.69\00:06:04.33
is a closed, bigoted mind.
00:06:04.36\00:06:10.03
Did you know this?
00:06:10.07\00:06:11.40
There are plenty of
bigoted religious people,
00:06:11.43\00:06:15.50
and plenty of bigoted people
who call themselves atheists.
00:06:15.54\00:06:21.28
I was flying back to Australia
00:06:21.31\00:06:23.95
with United, sat down,
00:06:23.98\00:06:25.61
lady sitting beside
me drinking all the time.
00:06:25.65\00:06:30.25
Drank for 14.5
hours in the flight.
00:06:30.29\00:06:32.65
Couldn't stop drinking.
00:06:32.69\00:06:34.56
I had to help her
up and get a bag down
00:06:34.59\00:06:36.52
at the end of the flight.
00:06:36.56\00:06:38.06
She said, "What do you
do?" I told her, "What I did?"
00:06:38.09\00:06:40.16
And she was openly scornful,
"Ha, ha, ha, I don't believe.
00:06:40.20\00:06:45.97
I don't believe
any of this stuff."
00:06:46.00\00:06:48.30
I said, "What do you do?"
00:06:48.34\00:06:49.67
"I'm a producer from Hollywood."
00:06:49.70\00:06:51.04
Oh, well, that's fine.
00:06:51.07\00:06:52.41
That's good.
00:06:52.44\00:06:53.78
Many wonderful people
come out of Hollywood.
00:06:53.81\00:06:56.48
I told her I was a believer.
00:06:56.51\00:06:57.88
She said, "It's stupid."
00:06:57.91\00:06:59.25
I said, "Can I talk to you
about the anthropic principle?
00:06:59.28\00:07:04.75
Can I talk to you about
the strong nuclear force,
00:07:04.79\00:07:07.16
weak nuclear force,
gravity, and electromagnetism,
00:07:07.19\00:07:10.46
and the balance,
00:07:10.49\00:07:11.89
one in a trillion..."
00:07:11.93\00:07:13.26
"I don't want
to hear that stuff.
00:07:13.29\00:07:15.06
I don't want to hear that stuff.
00:07:15.10\00:07:16.46
I want to be
comfortable in my atheism."
00:07:16.50\00:07:21.37
You know what you call that?
00:07:21.40\00:07:22.74
That's religious bigotry
00:07:22.77\00:07:24.11
because atheism
is another religion.
00:07:24.14\00:07:27.18
And unfortunately, there are
just as many bigoted atheists
00:07:27.21\00:07:31.75
as there are
bigoted religionists
00:07:31.78\00:07:35.65
who call themselves
Christians, you see.
00:07:35.68\00:07:39.12
But the Bible tells us,
if you study the scriptures,
00:07:39.15\00:07:41.56
it describes as a
creation of the universe,
00:07:41.59\00:07:44.63
but God is going to make a
new heaven and a new earth,
00:07:44.66\00:07:47.60
and Jesus said, "No more death."
00:07:47.63\00:07:51.70
Have you heard
00:07:51.73\00:07:53.07
of the second law
of thermodynamics?
00:07:53.10\00:07:57.14
Have you heard of this?
00:07:57.17\00:07:59.24
The second law...
00:07:59.27\00:08:00.61
Go and Google it.
00:08:00.64\00:08:02.74
The second law
of thermodynamics.
00:08:02.78\00:08:05.08
You know what it teaches?
00:08:05.11\00:08:06.88
Everything breaks down,
00:08:06.92\00:08:08.98
everything tends
towards disorder.
00:08:09.02\00:08:12.25
Okay?
00:08:12.29\00:08:13.82
Look at your children's bedrooms
00:08:13.86\00:08:15.32
and you'll
believe in thermodynamics.
00:08:15.36\00:08:17.33
Everything breaks down,
00:08:17.36\00:08:19.83
everything decays, we
could not live without it.
00:08:19.86\00:08:24.27
It fuels the
fires in our bodies.
00:08:24.30\00:08:27.84
Everything in the universe,
00:08:27.87\00:08:29.20
the sun is operating on
the law of thermodynamics.
00:08:29.24\00:08:33.48
Everything is breaking
down, burning up, dying.
00:08:33.51\00:08:38.31
That's the law of death.
00:08:38.35\00:08:41.42
We're a part of it.
00:08:41.45\00:08:43.22
We can't escape from it.
00:08:43.25\00:08:45.35
Everything comes to an end.
00:08:45.39\00:08:48.79
But Jesus said, "One day
00:08:48.82\00:08:50.59
I'm going to create new
heavens and a new earth."
00:08:50.63\00:08:52.89
And then He said,
00:08:52.93\00:08:54.96
"If you believe in
me, even though you die,
00:08:55.00\00:08:57.63
you are going to
live for eternity."
00:08:57.67\00:09:01.17
So this tells me
00:09:01.20\00:09:02.54
that this new
creation is going to be a world
00:09:02.57\00:09:07.01
that is not ruled by the law
00:09:07.04\00:09:09.51
of decay and death.
00:09:09.54\00:09:14.88
There's going to be no sin.
00:09:14.92\00:09:17.09
And therefore,
there's going to be no death.
00:09:17.12\00:09:21.09
You think of it.
00:09:21.12\00:09:22.49
Living for eternity,
00:09:22.52\00:09:23.86
being fresher's of
daisy every morning,
00:09:23.89\00:09:26.70
and full of vim and vigor.
00:09:26.73\00:09:30.80
Or as Norman Tiga used
to say, full of women vigor.
00:09:30.83\00:09:35.10
I recently visited the hospital
in Thousand Oaks, where I live.
00:09:35.14\00:09:40.18
Live in beautiful Thousand
Oaks in Southern California.
00:09:40.21\00:09:44.15
I went to see a
good man, a good friend,
00:09:44.18\00:09:49.58
really good person.
00:09:49.62\00:09:50.95
He used to come
to these meetings,
00:09:50.99\00:09:52.32
He used to sit there.
00:09:52.35\00:09:53.69
I tell you, I still miss him.
00:09:53.72\00:09:55.36
I'm going to miss him
for a long, long time,
00:09:55.39\00:09:57.06
Paul Horton.
00:09:57.09\00:09:58.69
I visited him time after time.
00:09:58.73\00:10:00.83
But I couldn't talk to him.
00:10:00.86\00:10:02.20
You know why?
00:10:02.23\00:10:03.57
He is unconscious, then he died.
00:10:03.60\00:10:06.43
But it's not over with Paul,
00:10:06.47\00:10:08.70
I want you to know that.
00:10:08.74\00:10:10.14
Paul Horton, one
day is going to wake up,
00:10:10.17\00:10:12.21
he's going to be a young
man, he's going to be strong,
00:10:12.24\00:10:14.51
he's going to be full of youth,
00:10:14.54\00:10:16.31
he will not be controlled
00:10:16.34\00:10:17.68
by the second law
of thermodynamics.
00:10:17.71\00:10:20.75
His body will not break down,
00:10:20.78\00:10:22.85
his body will not tend
towards disintegration,
00:10:22.88\00:10:25.65
but he will be a young person.
00:10:25.69\00:10:28.99
So an unbeliever says to
me, "I can't believe this.
00:10:29.02\00:10:31.73
I can't believe this.
I can't understand it."
00:10:31.76\00:10:33.83
Oh dear, you
can't understand it?
00:10:33.86\00:10:36.50
Are you kidding me?
00:10:36.53\00:10:37.87
How much do we understand?
00:10:37.90\00:10:40.10
How many here in this room
00:10:40.14\00:10:41.47
understand
Einstein's theory of relativity?
00:10:41.50\00:10:45.07
I understand a little bit of it.
00:10:45.11\00:10:47.11
I understand enough of it
00:10:47.14\00:10:48.81
to know how much
I don't understand.
00:10:48.84\00:10:51.21
E=mc square.
00:10:51.25\00:10:52.91
A lot of things
I don't understand,
00:10:52.95\00:10:54.52
but I accept them
because they are the truth.
00:10:54.55\00:10:57.15
The person who says,
00:10:57.19\00:10:58.52
"I won't believe in
anything until I accept."
00:10:58.55\00:11:00.72
I understand everything
will never believe in anything.
00:11:00.76\00:11:04.69
But today, he's go to
come in a new world order
00:11:04.73\00:11:06.93
where there will be no
hospitals and no doctors.
00:11:06.96\00:11:11.83
And we're
saying against doctors,
00:11:11.87\00:11:14.30
no doctors, no
funerals, no death.
00:11:14.34\00:11:20.61
This is the world to come.
00:11:20.64\00:11:24.81
Let me tell you,
folks, something.
00:11:24.85\00:11:26.18
But know death is not good news
00:11:26.21\00:11:27.55
if the quality of
life is really bad.
00:11:27.58\00:11:30.39
Who wants to
live, if you're in pain,
00:11:30.42\00:11:33.02
psychologically,
mentally, physically,
00:11:33.05\00:11:35.49
who wants to
live on for eternity?
00:11:35.52\00:11:37.39
If every day is a hell
00:11:37.43\00:11:39.29
and it is a hell
for so many people.
00:11:39.33\00:11:42.90
Turn to 2
Corinthians 4:16 and 17.
00:11:42.93\00:11:45.70
2 Corinthians 4:16 and 17.
00:11:45.73\00:11:48.40
"Therefore we do not lose heart.
00:11:48.44\00:11:51.21
Even though our
outward man is perishing..."
00:11:51.24\00:11:53.41
That's true.
00:11:53.44\00:11:55.11
"Yet the inward man is
being renewed day by day.
00:11:55.14\00:11:58.61
For our light affliction,
00:11:58.65\00:12:00.42
which is but for a moment,
00:12:00.45\00:12:02.22
is working for us
a far more exceeding
00:12:02.25\00:12:04.82
and eternal weight of glory."
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.89
Bible says, "It's
going to be a state of glory
00:12:06.92\00:12:11.76
and it's going to be
glory on top of glory."
00:12:11.79\00:12:16.67
Look at Revelation 21:1 and 3.
00:12:16.70\00:12:20.34
And please turn to the texts,
00:12:20.37\00:12:22.54
looking up the
texts will do you good.
00:12:22.57\00:12:25.14
Revelation 21:1 and 3.
00:12:25.17\00:12:27.84
"Now I saw a new
heaven and a new earth,
00:12:27.88\00:12:30.25
for the first
heaven and the first earth
00:12:30.28\00:12:31.68
had passed away..."
00:12:31.71\00:12:33.05
That's the whole thing.
00:12:33.08\00:12:34.42
"Also, there was no more sea.
00:12:34.45\00:12:36.85
And I heard a loud
voice from heaven saying,
00:12:36.89\00:12:39.22
'Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men,
00:12:39.25\00:12:41.62
and He will dwell with them,
00:12:41.66\00:12:43.66
and they shall be His people.
00:12:43.69\00:12:45.03
God Himself shall be
with them and be their God.'"
00:12:45.06\00:12:48.26
So the Bible says,
00:12:48.30\00:12:49.96
"God is not going to just
00:12:50.00\00:12:51.93
patch up this old world."
00:12:51.97\00:12:55.20
We've got a pretty nice
house here in Thousand Oaks,
00:12:55.24\00:12:58.01
but it's like the
owners it's getting on.
00:12:58.04\00:13:02.84
And when you get on a bit,
you know what starts to happen?
00:13:02.88\00:13:06.21
No, I don't know.
00:13:06.25\00:13:07.58
I'm not saying,
I'm breaking down.
00:13:07.62\00:13:10.22
What I'm telling you is,
00:13:10.25\00:13:11.89
you sometimes start
to get a few creeks.
00:13:11.92\00:13:15.32
You meet somebody they say,
00:13:15.36\00:13:16.89
"You know the old man
who went to the doctor
00:13:16.93\00:13:21.06
because his leg
was really bad hurting,
00:13:21.10\00:13:25.33
had bad leg."
00:13:25.37\00:13:26.70
And the doctor said,
00:13:26.74\00:13:28.84
"Tommy said, 'it's
because of your age.'"
00:13:28.87\00:13:33.58
He said, "My leg is bad
because of my age, doctor?"
00:13:33.61\00:13:36.21
"Yeah, because of your age.
00:13:36.24\00:13:38.21
Well, he said the
other leg is just as old
00:13:38.25\00:13:40.18
and it's doing just fine.
00:13:40.22\00:13:42.28
Okay.
00:13:42.32\00:13:46.35
But, folks, the day is coming
00:13:46.39\00:13:49.16
when things are
going to be good.
00:13:49.19\00:13:51.99
Revelation 21:4 and 5.
00:13:52.03\00:13:54.00
Revelation 21:4 and 5.
00:13:54.03\00:13:56.40
"God will wipe away
every tear from their eyes.
00:13:56.43\00:14:00.17
There shall be no more
deaths, no sorrow, nor crying.
00:14:00.20\00:14:04.64
There shall be no more pain,
00:14:04.67\00:14:06.37
for the former
things have passed away.
00:14:06.41\00:14:08.84
Then He who sat
on the throne said,
00:14:08.88\00:14:10.65
'Behold, I make all
things all things...'"
00:14:10.68\00:14:13.45
He makes all
things, not renews it.
00:14:13.48\00:14:15.82
"He makes all things new.'
00:14:15.85\00:14:18.02
And He said to me,
00:14:18.05\00:14:19.52
'Write, for these words
are true and faithful.'"
00:14:19.55\00:14:24.16
So God's not
going to patch it up.
00:14:24.19\00:14:26.76
He's not going to
put a new coat of paint
00:14:26.80\00:14:28.50
on the old building.
00:14:28.53\00:14:30.77
He's not going to
put on some marble sinks
00:14:30.80\00:14:33.40
and a few things to add
and fix up the bathroom.
00:14:33.44\00:14:38.17
The Bible says, "He's
going to make everything new.
00:14:38.21\00:14:43.08
And He's going to
make His people new."
00:14:43.11\00:14:46.38
Every day will be glory.
00:14:46.41\00:14:49.88
This is a great old hymn.
00:14:49.92\00:14:51.89
When all my labors
and trials are o'er
00:14:51.92\00:14:54.69
And I am safe on
that beautiful shore
00:14:54.72\00:14:57.79
Just to be near
the dear Lord I adore
00:14:57.83\00:15:00.26
Will through the ages be, what?
00:15:00.30\00:15:02.60
Glory for me
00:15:02.63\00:15:04.93
Friends, we'll be there,
00:15:04.97\00:15:06.30
I've loved long ago
00:15:06.33\00:15:08.60
Joy like a river
around me will flow
00:15:08.64\00:15:11.81
Yet just a smile from my Savior
00:15:11.84\00:15:14.51
I know Will through
the ages be glory for me
00:15:14.54\00:15:20.12
Then the course,
O that will be...
00:15:20.15\00:15:23.28
You'd like me to sing it? No.
00:15:23.32\00:15:24.75
O that will be glory for me
00:15:24.79\00:15:28.96
Glory for me,
00:15:28.99\00:15:31.26
glory for me
00:15:31.29\00:15:32.63
When by His grace I
shall look on His face
00:15:32.66\00:15:35.96
That will be glory,
00:15:36.00\00:15:39.17
be glory for me
00:15:39.20\00:15:41.07
So the day is coming.
00:15:41.10\00:15:43.04
This is not pie in the
sky and sweet by and by.
00:15:43.07\00:15:46.37
This is not religious talk.
00:15:46.41\00:15:49.64
I teach these things
00:15:49.68\00:15:51.01
because my faith is
based upon evidence.
00:15:51.05\00:15:54.35
If your faith is based
upon what you want it to be,
00:15:54.38\00:15:57.75
then you are deceived.
00:15:57.79\00:16:00.96
An intelligent faith is
got to rest upon evidence.
00:16:00.99\00:16:06.06
And I want you to know,
I got evidence to believe.
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.36
I don't believe just
because I'm paid to believe
00:16:08.40\00:16:10.47
or because I feel
like I want to believe.
00:16:10.50\00:16:12.60
I believe, it's because
00:16:12.63\00:16:14.50
it is the
reasonable thing to do.
00:16:14.54\00:16:17.07
It's a smart thing.
00:16:17.11\00:16:19.21
No more tears,
00:16:19.24\00:16:21.58
no more sorrows,
00:16:21.61\00:16:24.28
no cancers,
00:16:24.31\00:16:26.18
no pain,
00:16:26.21\00:16:27.88
no stillbirths, no
disappointments, no end,
00:16:27.92\00:16:32.15
glory for me.
00:16:32.19\00:16:33.99
Romans 8:18.
00:16:34.02\00:16:35.36
Look at it. Romans 8:18.
00:16:35.39\00:16:37.89
"For I consider
that the sufferings
00:16:37.93\00:16:39.53
of this present time
00:16:39.56\00:16:40.90
are not worthy to be
compared with the glory
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.70
that shall be revealed in us."
00:16:43.73\00:16:45.83
Nothing you've got
here can't even compare,
00:16:45.87\00:16:50.51
can't come near
it with the glory.
00:16:50.54\00:16:53.61
Romans 8:21.
00:16:53.64\00:16:54.98
Romans 8:21.
00:16:55.01\00:16:57.71
"Because the creation
itself also will be delivered
00:16:57.75\00:17:01.38
from the bondage of corruption."
00:17:01.42\00:17:05.19
This earth is in the
bondage of corruption,
00:17:05.22\00:17:07.99
even the animals.
00:17:08.02\00:17:10.63
"It's going to be delivered
00:17:10.66\00:17:11.99
into the glorious
liberty of the children of God."
00:17:12.03\00:17:16.73
So it's going to be marvelous.
00:17:16.77\00:17:21.57
Deliverance from bondage.
00:17:21.60\00:17:24.37
My old Roman Catholic father,
00:17:24.41\00:17:28.48
who was an altar boy
00:17:28.51\00:17:30.88
in the Catholic
Church in Australia,
00:17:30.91\00:17:34.38
who finally found
the Gospel of Christ
00:17:34.42\00:17:36.69
after a life of disillusionment,
00:17:36.72\00:17:39.25
and sorrow, and pain,
and fear of the flame.
00:17:39.29\00:17:45.33
He found Christ
00:17:45.36\00:17:47.46
and was saved at last.
00:17:47.50\00:17:48.93
My own mother who
taught me to pray,
00:17:48.96\00:17:53.13
every day I went out to
school, was a high school boy,
00:17:53.17\00:17:56.60
she'd say, "Come on,
John, have a prayer."
00:17:56.64\00:18:00.64
Didn't like it much,
00:18:00.68\00:18:03.41
but it saved my soul.
00:18:03.45\00:18:06.01
Parents who can't
pray with their children
00:18:06.05\00:18:07.85
are not doing the right
thing by their children.
00:18:07.88\00:18:11.89
Kids need prayer today.
00:18:11.92\00:18:14.02
My old friend
Dr. Graeme Bradford,
00:18:14.06\00:18:16.69
how could you
not like that face?
00:18:16.73\00:18:20.50
Great theologian, great
scholar, great preacher,
00:18:20.53\00:18:25.10
great Christian,
honest as the day is long.
00:18:25.13\00:18:29.77
People said to him,
"Well, you know, Dr. Bradford,
00:18:29.80\00:18:32.74
you're not going to get promoted
00:18:32.77\00:18:34.84
unless you give up those ideas.
00:18:34.88\00:18:37.18
He said, "I don't care.
00:18:37.21\00:18:39.88
I don't care."
00:18:39.91\00:18:42.05
Fancy being a minister
00:18:42.08\00:18:44.29
who couldn't preach
what he knew was the truth
00:18:44.32\00:18:47.66
because he
wanted to get promoted.
00:18:47.69\00:18:52.06
Goodness me.
00:18:52.09\00:18:53.83
I mean, what a crazy
sick way of thinking.
00:18:53.86\00:18:58.73
But this man was my best friend,
00:18:58.77\00:19:00.50
we used to talk
a lot on the phone
00:19:00.54\00:19:02.34
and discuss theology.
00:19:02.37\00:19:05.61
Well, he is resting in Christ,
he is going to be delivered.
00:19:05.64\00:19:09.01
My friend, Tom Ludowici,
00:19:09.04\00:19:10.51
how could you
not like that face?
00:19:10.55\00:19:12.95
What a great guy.
00:19:12.98\00:19:14.32
Tom Ludowici,
00:19:14.35\00:19:15.68
who led me to Christ,
00:19:15.72\00:19:17.59
when I was 17 years of age.
00:19:17.62\00:19:21.29
Became head chaplain,
Sydney Adventist Hospital,
00:19:21.32\00:19:25.29
loved all through
that part of the world.
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.40
Sydney Adventist Hospital,
00:19:27.43\00:19:28.90
it's one of the
greatest hospitals
00:19:28.93\00:19:30.63
that you'd find anywhere.
00:19:30.67\00:19:33.74
One of the greatest
private hospitals in the world.
00:19:33.77\00:19:36.20
Huge hospital.
00:19:36.24\00:19:37.94
Tom took care of
the spiritual needs,
00:19:37.97\00:19:40.91
he was my buddy.
00:19:40.94\00:19:45.01
He's going to be delivered.
00:19:45.05\00:19:47.42
And that will be
glory for me and for them.
00:19:47.45\00:19:52.52
John 14:1-3.
00:19:52.55\00:19:53.89
Look at it again.
00:19:53.92\00:19:55.26
John 14:1-3.
00:19:55.29\00:19:56.83
Look at it again.
00:19:56.86\00:19:58.33
Jesus said, "Let not
your heart be troubled..."
00:19:58.36\00:20:00.93
You worried?
00:20:00.96\00:20:02.30
Jesus said, "You worried?"
00:20:02.33\00:20:03.73
"Let not your heart be troubled,
00:20:03.77\00:20:05.77
you believe in God..."
00:20:05.80\00:20:07.14
That's okay.
00:20:07.17\00:20:08.50
"But believe also in Me.
00:20:08.54\00:20:11.37
In My Father's house..."
00:20:11.41\00:20:12.74
It's not up there in Mars.
00:20:12.77\00:20:17.41
It's not out there
00:20:17.45\00:20:18.78
in the Andromeda
Galaxy anything like?
00:20:18.81\00:20:21.68
No, no, no.
00:20:21.72\00:20:23.05
It's beyond time and space.
00:20:23.08\00:20:25.82
God is not a part
of time and space.
00:20:25.85\00:20:27.82
We don't believe
in pantheism, you see.
00:20:27.86\00:20:30.93
Don't believe in that nonsense.
00:20:30.96\00:20:33.09
"In My Father's
house are many mansions,
00:20:33.13\00:20:36.60
if it were not so,
I would have told you.
00:20:36.63\00:20:39.73
I go to prepare a place for you.
00:20:39.77\00:20:42.84
If I go and
prepare a place for you,
00:20:42.87\00:20:46.24
I will come again
00:20:46.27\00:20:49.18
and receive you unto Myself,
00:20:49.21\00:20:51.15
that where I am,
there you may be also."
00:20:51.18\00:20:56.25
So you don't need to worry
00:20:56.28\00:20:58.65
if you have true faith in God.
00:20:58.69\00:21:00.02
If you don't have
true faith in God,
00:21:00.06\00:21:03.36
you've got a lot of
things to be worried about
00:21:03.39\00:21:06.56
because you turn
on the television.
00:21:06.59\00:21:09.13
Goodness me. I said
to Beverley, "Turn off."
00:21:09.16\00:21:12.57
She's like, "Don't you
want to know what's going on?"
00:21:12.60\00:21:13.94
"I already know
what's going on."
00:21:13.97\00:21:16.04
You look at what's
happening in Washington.
00:21:16.07\00:21:19.34
People says, "Oh, it was great."
00:21:19.37\00:21:20.71
Oh, is it?
00:21:20.74\00:21:22.14
And around the
world, what's happening?
00:21:22.18\00:21:27.45
In fact, one of the
leaders of the nation,
00:21:27.48\00:21:29.58
who advises the president, said,
00:21:29.62\00:21:32.89
"You don't want to
know what's going on.
00:21:32.92\00:21:35.62
You couldn't sleep if
you knew what was going on."
00:21:35.66\00:21:39.53
But I know what's going on.
00:21:39.56\00:21:42.33
Jesus is coming.
00:21:42.36\00:21:43.70
Amen.
00:21:43.73\00:21:45.07
The most amazing truth is this.
00:21:45.10\00:21:47.60
Now what I've told
you about the Big Bang,
00:21:47.64\00:21:51.11
and relativity,
and all that stuff
00:21:51.14\00:21:52.87
that most of us
can't understand anyhow,
00:21:52.91\00:21:54.51
including me.
00:21:54.54\00:21:56.34
The most amazing truth is this
00:21:56.38\00:21:57.98
that the God man
from the Father's house
00:21:58.01\00:22:02.88
was born of a peasant girl.
00:22:02.92\00:22:04.85
Bit hard to believe, isn't it?
00:22:04.89\00:22:07.56
Born of a peasant God.
00:22:07.59\00:22:08.92
He was the
creator of the universe.
00:22:08.96\00:22:13.06
He died on a
cross to save my soul.
00:22:13.09\00:22:16.43
That's the greatest truth.
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.87
When you get to know that God,
you become a different person.
00:22:18.90\00:22:22.50
You won't be a niggly,
00:22:22.54\00:22:24.31
critical, narrow-minded,
little religious bigot
00:22:24.34\00:22:29.71
because a big God
will redeem your soul.
00:22:29.74\00:22:31.91
There was a little girl
lost in the great city of London
00:22:31.95\00:22:34.35
that I love very much.
00:22:34.38\00:22:37.32
And this happened more
than hundred years ago.
00:22:37.35\00:22:40.76
Got lost and she was
crying, she was found by bobby.
00:22:40.79\00:22:43.73
You know what... Who bobby is?
00:22:43.76\00:22:46.03
It's a London
policeman with those great hats.
00:22:46.06\00:22:49.30
And the policeman
said to little girl,
00:22:49.33\00:22:52.30
"Do you know such
and such a place?"
00:22:52.33\00:22:53.67
"No." "Do you know?" "No."
00:22:53.70\00:22:55.30
"I didn't know
how to get at home."
00:22:55.34\00:22:57.61
Then the policeman
00:22:57.64\00:22:59.01
with a spark of
genius, flash of genius,
00:22:59.04\00:23:02.14
he said, "Do you know
00:23:02.18\00:23:03.68
St Paul's Cathedral,
the great, great church?"
00:23:03.71\00:23:09.82
Yeah, later on it was bombed
by the Natzis, but survived.
00:23:09.85\00:23:13.96
You know, St. Paul's...
00:23:13.99\00:23:15.69
You know, the
church, the big church
00:23:15.72\00:23:17.53
with the cross on the top
00:23:17.56\00:23:20.03
and a little face stood up
00:23:20.06\00:23:21.40
and she said, "Oh yes, yes, yes.
00:23:21.43\00:23:25.33
I know the cross,
00:23:25.37\00:23:28.67
take me to the cross,
00:23:28.70\00:23:32.07
and then I can
find my way home."
00:23:32.11\00:23:36.64
If you want to get home,
00:23:36.68\00:23:39.81
you don't get home
by way of Mount Sinai.
00:23:39.85\00:23:44.85
That tells you what a
mess we made of things.
00:23:44.89\00:23:48.46
You get home by way of the cross
00:23:48.49\00:23:52.26
that tells us that God loves us.
00:23:52.29\00:23:57.67
Think about it.
00:23:57.70\00:23:59.53
You know, our
brains are so slow.
00:23:59.57\00:24:02.27
We're so dumb witted.
00:24:02.30\00:24:04.64
We're so
superstitious, we're so stupid.
00:24:04.67\00:24:08.44
Can't stay off our
cell phones for one second.
00:24:12.51\00:24:14.88
That's because
we got brain damage.
00:24:14.92\00:24:17.79
Not laughing. I'm not laughing.
00:24:17.82\00:24:20.49
This is serious business,
00:24:20.52\00:24:22.29
I'm not laughing
about brain damage.
00:24:22.32\00:24:27.20
But if we could only realize
00:24:27.23\00:24:28.93
that the one
who made the cosmos,
00:24:28.96\00:24:32.10
who lived for billions
and trillions of years,
00:24:32.13\00:24:35.07
in Christ, he became a man.
00:24:35.10\00:24:39.67
And He was born of
the Blessed Virgin Mary,
00:24:39.71\00:24:42.04
can you believe it?
00:24:42.08\00:24:43.58
God came down
00:24:43.61\00:24:46.28
and was cradled in the
womb of a girl for nine months.
00:24:46.31\00:24:51.59
And then, I guess
with crying and pain,
00:24:51.62\00:24:54.99
He came into the world
00:24:55.02\00:24:58.39
and He went to the cross
00:24:58.43\00:25:00.70
because I don't understand it.
00:25:00.73\00:25:02.10
Some things you
don't need to understand,
00:25:02.13\00:25:03.70
but you need to believe this
00:25:03.73\00:25:07.37
that God loves you.
00:25:07.40\00:25:09.67
Great God who made
the stars, loves you.
00:25:09.70\00:25:12.67
Don't harden your heart.
00:25:12.71\00:25:14.88
That is
foolishness beyond degree.
00:25:14.91\00:25:18.25
I'm not going to
believe, I'm smart.
00:25:18.28\00:25:20.62
No, you're not smart.
00:25:20.65\00:25:23.79
To turn from Christ
is the dumbest thing
00:25:23.82\00:25:26.25
a man can ever do.
00:25:26.29\00:25:28.16
But to believe in Christ,
00:25:28.19\00:25:31.99
and trust in Christ,
00:25:32.03\00:25:34.43
and take Christ into the heart
00:25:34.46\00:25:37.50
that opens the door
to the Father's house.
00:25:37.53\00:25:42.07
And it gives us a
guarantee, my friend,
00:25:42.10\00:25:46.04
it gives us a guarantee
00:25:46.07\00:25:52.71
of a mansion in
the world to come
00:25:52.75\00:25:57.49
when God makes all things new.
00:25:57.52\00:26:01.56
So in this today,
00:26:01.59\00:26:02.92
we see a
revelation of God's goodness.
00:26:02.96\00:26:06.83
And they should go
home today, know this,
00:26:06.86\00:26:09.96
God loves you.
00:26:10.00\00:26:12.43
And Jesus is preparing
a home for you in glory.
00:26:12.47\00:26:19.44
Amen.
00:26:19.47\00:26:21.18
There's only one thing that
really counts in this lifetime,
00:26:27.18\00:26:31.09
your relationship to Christ.
00:26:31.12\00:26:33.82
And then if you have
00:26:33.86\00:26:35.19
a right
relationship with Christ,
00:26:35.22\00:26:37.59
you want to tell
people about Christ.
00:26:37.63\00:26:40.40
That's why Jesus
said, "Go into all the world
00:26:40.43\00:26:42.96
and preach the
gospel to every creature."
00:26:43.00\00:26:46.87
By the grace of God
we're going to do that,
00:26:46.90\00:26:49.67
we are doing that.
00:26:49.70\00:26:51.67
That is why we're
going back to Cuba
00:26:51.71\00:26:54.21
to this communist
land to preach Christ.
00:26:54.24\00:26:58.58
We're accepting an
invitation to go to the vast,
00:26:58.61\00:27:02.88
huge city of Manila, the
capital of the Philippines,
00:27:02.92\00:27:06.99
been there before,
00:27:07.02\00:27:08.59
but by the grace of
God, we're going back.
00:27:08.62\00:27:12.03
Please support us.
00:27:12.06\00:27:13.76
And please stand with us
00:27:13.80\00:27:16.33
in the preaching of
the everlasting gospel.
00:27:16.36\00:27:19.00
You say, "How do you do it?
00:27:19.03\00:27:20.40
Who pays the bills?"
00:27:20.44\00:27:22.34
We do.
00:27:22.37\00:27:23.71
"You get any help,
00:27:23.74\00:27:25.07
financial help from the church?"
00:27:25.11\00:27:26.44
No, my friend. We don't.
00:27:26.47\00:27:28.34
But we get a lot of help
from God and from His children.
00:27:28.38\00:27:32.75
Please support us
00:27:32.78\00:27:34.42
in the preaching of
the everlasting gospel.
00:27:34.45\00:27:37.55
It's the most
important work in all the world.
00:27:37.59\00:27:40.66
Everything else
is almost trivia.
