A SECOND CHANCE SO THAT WE CAN
00:05:30.60\00:05:38.40

00:07:19.10\00:07:29.50
A BIG SUBJECT, RIGHT?
00:07:29.50\00:07:32.50
A LOT OF PEOPLE GET SCARED OFF
WHEN THEY THINK ABOUT A JUDGMENT
00:07:32.50\00:07:36.26
AND MAYBE RIGHTFULLY
SO. WE'LL SEE THIS MORNING.
00:07:36.26\00:07:41.80
LET'S BEGIN WITH OUR MEMORY TEXT
AND I WOULD INVITE YOU TO READ
00:07:41.80\00:07:45.23
IT ALONG WITH ME IF YOU
WILL. IT'S FOUND THERE IN YOUR
00:07:45.23\00:07:47.50
QUARTERLY - DANIEL 7, VERSE 27
00:07:47.50\00:07:51.03
AND IT'S THE NASB
TRANSLATION. ARE YOU READY?
00:07:51.03\00:07:56.96
"THEN THE SOVEREIGNTY, THE
DOMINION AND THE GREATNESS OF
00:07:56.96\00:08:01.40
ALL THE KINGDOMS UNDER THE WHOLE
HEAVEN WILL BE GIVEN TO THE
00:08:01.40\00:08:05.40
PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE
HIGHEST ONE; HIS KINGDOM WILL BE
00:08:05.40\00:08:09.23
AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND
ALL THE DOMINIONS WILL SERVE AND
00:08:09.23\00:08:12.90
OBEY HIM." WOW, PRETTY AMAZING.
THE LESSON STARTS OUT BY TALKING
00:08:12.90\00:08:19.53
ABOUT HOW THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
CLEARLY SPELLS OUT THAT AFTER
00:08:19.53\00:08:25.33
THE DEATH OF JESUS, HE WOULD
GO BACK TO HEAVEN AND HE WOULD
00:08:25.33\00:08:29.03
BEGIN A NEW WORK IN BEHALF
OF HIS PEOPLE HERE UPON EARTH.
00:08:29.03\00:08:35.03
AND IT POINTS OUT HOW HE BECAME
THE HIGH PRIEST - OUR HIGH
00:08:35.03\00:08:39.63
PRIEST IN THE
HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:08:39.63\00:08:41.86
THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
00:08:41.86\00:08:45.56
THEN IT POINTS OUT FROM THE BOOK
OF DANIEL CHAPTERS 7 AND 8 -
00:08:45.56\00:08:48.83
REVEALS TO US AT SOME SPECIFIC
TIME IN HISTORY, AND THIS -
00:08:48.83\00:08:53.50
WE'LL GET INTO THIS MORE NEXT
WEEK, BUT AT SOME SPECIFIC TIME
00:08:53.50\00:08:57.10
IN HISTORY, JESUS WOULD
THEN, AS OUR HIGH PRIEST,
00:08:57.10\00:09:01.10
BEGIN THE WORK OF JUDGMENT.
NOW WE KNOW, IF YOU'VE STUDIED -
00:09:01.10\00:09:06.50
MOST OF US, I'M SURE, HAVE
- THAT THAT BEGAN IN 1844 AND
00:09:06.50\00:09:11.40
THAT'S SPECIFICALLY SPELLED OUT
IN A VERY DYNAMIC AND WONDERFUL
00:09:11.40\00:09:15.16
TIME PROPHECY IN THE BOOK OF
DANIEL AND NEXT WEEK WE'LL GET
00:09:15.16\00:09:18.13
INTO THAT MORE CLEARLY, BUT IT'S
UNDENIABLY TRUE THAT THAT'S WHAT
00:09:18.13\00:09:23.10
THE YEAR WAS AND WHAT
TOOK PLACE IN THAT YEAR.
00:09:23.10\00:09:28.20
NOW SOMEBODY ASKED ME JUST,
ACTUALLY NOT TOO LONG AGO, SINCE
00:09:28.20\00:09:32.36
JESUS WASN'T - HE WENT BACK TO
HEAVEN AND HE WASN'T INVOLVED IN
00:09:32.36\00:09:37.50
THE JUDGMENT - THE JUDGMENT
WASN'T GOING YET, WHAT WAS HE
00:09:37.50\00:09:40.46
DOING BETWEEN THE TIME
HE WENT BACK UNTIL 1844?
00:09:40.46\00:09:44.53
HE WASN'T INVOLVED IN
JUDGMENT, WE KNOW THAT.
00:09:44.53\00:09:48.13
WELL, THE BIBLE IS A
LITTLE BIT SILENT ABOUT THAT.
00:09:48.13\00:09:52.53
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
SPECIFICS, BUT ONE THING I DO
00:09:52.53\00:09:55.26
KNOW THAT JESUS WAS VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS CHURCH HERE
00:09:55.26\00:09:59.26
UPON EARTH. HE SPENT
THREE AND A HALF YEARS
00:09:59.26\00:10:01.86
ESTABLISHING HIS CHURCH,
TRAINING HIS DISCIPLES, SENDING
00:10:01.86\00:10:05.20
THEM OUT INTO THE WORLD, AND SO
I DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS WENT OFF
00:10:05.20\00:10:08.20
TO HEAVEN AND JUST FORGOT
ABOUT HIS CHURCH ON EARTH.
00:10:08.20\00:10:11.83
I BELIEVE THAT HE WAS KEENLY
AWARE OF EVERY SINGLE THING, OF
00:10:11.83\00:10:15.70
COURSE WE KNOW HE IS, EVERY
SINGLE THING THAT WAS TAKING
00:10:15.70\00:10:18.76
PLACE UPON THIS EARTH, AND
HE WAS - I CAN PICTURE HIM IN
00:10:18.76\00:10:22.46
HEAVEN DISPATCHING AN
ANGEL HERE AND ONE THERE AND
00:10:22.46\00:10:25.83
'GO TO PETER. GO TO
JOHN, HE NEEDS YOU.'
00:10:25.83\00:10:28.26
GO TO THIS PERSON AND DOWN INTO
OUR TIME, 'GO HELP PASTOR WHITE,
00:10:28.26\00:10:32.46
HE NEEDS YOU. GO
HELP PASTOR BUTTERY,
00:10:32.46\00:10:35.20
HE NEEDS YOU.' GO
HELP THIS PERSON IN THE
00:10:35.20\00:10:36.86
CHURCH AND SO CHRIST HAS BEEN
TOTALLY INVOLVED IN HIS CHURCH.
00:10:36.86\00:10:42.20
WOULD YOU AGREE TO THAT? I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE THAT.
00:10:42.20\00:10:45.86
NOW THERE ARE SOME
THINGS WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF.
00:10:45.86\00:10:48.26
WE ARE NOT TOLD A HUNDRED
PERCENT SOME THINGS AND WE HAVE
00:10:48.26\00:10:50.66
TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT WE HEAR.
00:10:50.66\00:10:52.83
NOW I WANT TO GIVE A
COUPLE OF EXAMPLES THIS MORNING.
00:10:52.83\00:10:54.96
I'M NOT GOING TO MENTION ANY
NAMES BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T SERVE
00:10:54.96\00:10:56.43
ANY PURPOSE, BUT IS IT VERY
IMPORTANT THAT WHEN WE HEAR WHAT
00:10:56.43\00:11:02.16
WE HEAR THAT WE COMPARE
IT TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
00:11:02.16\00:11:06.66
WELL THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO,
SOMEBODY CAME RIGHT HERE TO THIS
00:11:06.66\00:11:09.70
CHURCH - AND LIKE I SAID, I'M
NOT GOING TO MENTION NAMES, IT
00:11:09.70\00:11:11.73
DOESN'T MATTER.
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
00:11:11.73\00:11:14.96
WE ALL MAKE
MISTAKES, BELIEVE ME, WE DO.
00:11:14.96\00:11:17.33
I'VE MADE MY SHARE IN FRONT OF
PEOPLE, IN FRONT OF CLASSES LIKE
00:11:17.33\00:11:21.26
THIS. THIS
PERSON, ONE DAY - HE'S A
00:11:21.26\00:11:24.53
VERY DYNAMIC PREACHER -
HE'S OUT THERE IN THE CIRCUIT.
00:11:24.53\00:11:26.50
YOU ALL KNOW HIM
VERY WELL, I'M SURE.
00:11:26.50\00:11:29.26
HE'S PREACHING AWAY AND HE
ACTUALLY MADE TWO SIGNIFICANT
00:11:29.26\00:11:32.36
ERRORS IN HIS MESSAGE AND
NOBODY SEEMED TO BOTHER OR CARE.
00:11:32.36\00:11:37.23
EVERYBODY WAS SOAKING IT UP LIKE
HE WAS THE BEST PREACHER SINCE
00:11:37.23\00:11:39.73
NOAH AND ONE WAS HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT THE PARABLE OF JESUS WHEN
00:11:39.73\00:11:44.26
HE SAID THAT THE PARABLE OF
THE WISE MAN WHO BUILT HIS HOUSE
00:11:44.26\00:11:50.76
UPON THE ROCK, THAT THE WISE
MAN REPRESENTS JESUS AND HE KEPT
00:11:50.76\00:11:56.20
EMPHASIZING THAT POINT.
WELL, JESUS IS REPRESENTED IN
00:11:56.20\00:11:59.80
THAT PARABLE BY THE
ROCK, NOT THE WISE MAN.
00:11:59.80\00:12:02.60
WE ARE THE WISE MAN, IN A SENSE,
IF WE BUILD OUR HOUSE UPON THE
00:12:02.60\00:12:06.60
ROCK. IT'S NOT
A VERY SIGNIFICANT
00:12:06.60\00:12:08.73
ERROR BUT IT
WASN'T THE TRUTH, REALLY.
00:12:08.73\00:12:11.63
THE SECOND ONE WAS A
LITTLE MORE SIGNIFICANT.
00:12:11.63\00:12:17.16
SAID, IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES
THERE'S THE MERCY SEAT AND ABOVE
00:12:17.16\00:12:21.76
THE MERCY SEAT THERE'S THESE TWO
CHERUBIMS - TWO ANGELS - AND HE
00:12:21.76\00:12:25.66
SAID, THESE TWO ANGELS, ONE IS
REPRESENTED BY THE GOOD ANGELS
00:12:25.66\00:12:30.30
AND THE OTHER ANGEL IS SATAN.
00:12:30.30\00:12:33.83
AND SO I SAID, 'WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE' AND HE KEPT
00:12:33.83\00:12:37.90
EMPHASIZING THAT POINT AND - AND
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT ONE OF THE
00:12:37.90\00:12:44.83
ANGELS ABOVE THE
MERCY SEAT IS NOT SATAN.
00:12:44.83\00:12:48.93
SATAN IS NOT IN THE
HOLY SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN.
00:12:48.93\00:12:51.80
HE'S NOT THERE. HE
WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:12:51.80\00:12:56.70
BUT NOT ONE PERSON EVER
COMPLAINED ABOUT THAT AFTERWARDS
00:12:56.70\00:13:01.76
AND I THOUGHT, 'WOW, WE'VE
GOT TO BE CAREFUL OF PEOPLE
00:13:01.76\00:13:04.36
PREACHING.' DON'T
TAKE MY WORD FOR WHAT I'M
00:13:04.36\00:13:06.63
SAYING, GO HOME AND
STUDY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:06.63\00:13:10.73
WE MUST, ESPECIALLY - I'M
POINTING THIS OUT ESPECIALLY
00:13:10.73\00:13:14.20
WHEN IT COMES TO THE SANCTUARY
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
00:13:14.20\00:13:18.06
GOTTEN OFF TRACK ON THE
SANCTUARY MESSAGE AND THE
00:13:18.06\00:13:20.83
PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT AND WE MUST
NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO DO THAT
00:13:20.83\00:13:26.26
AND THAT'S WHY I
POINT OUT THAT THIS MORNING.
00:13:26.26\00:13:29.73
WELL, WE - SO LET'S STICK WITH
THE WORD AND LET'S GET INTO OUR
00:13:29.73\00:13:35.56
LESSON. SUNDAY'S
LESSON IS ENTITLED
00:13:35.56\00:13:37.86
'THE VISION AND THE JUDGMENT'.
DANIEL 7:10 SAYS "A FIERY STREAM
00:13:37.86\00:13:43.20
ISSUED AND CAME
FORTH FROM BEFORE HIM.
00:13:43.20\00:13:45.56
A THOUSAND THOUSANDS MINISTERED
TO HIM; TEN THOUSAND TIMES TEN
00:13:45.56\00:13:51.06
THOUSAND STOOD BEFORE HIM.
THE COURT WAS SEATED, AND THE
00:13:51.06\00:13:54.06
BOOKS WERE OPENED." DO
YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES - YOU
00:13:54.06\00:13:56.70
KNOW HOW MANY
PEOPLE - HOW MANY THAT IS?
00:13:56.70\00:13:59.10
WELL, I DON'T KNOW EITHER BUT
IT'S A LOT. WE CAN KNOW THAT.
00:13:59.10\00:14:02.56
AND THE QUESTION IS ASKED: 'WHAT
IS HAPPENING HERE IN VERSES 1
00:14:02.56\00:14:05.06
THROUGH 14. IT IS A
COURTROOM SCENE, IS IT NOT? YES.
00:14:05.06\00:14:10.93
THE SCENE DESCRIBED BY DANIEL IS
LIKEWISE DESCRIBED BY JOHN THE
00:14:10.93\00:14:14.03
REVELATOR IN REVELATION CHAPTER
4, VERSE 1, WHERE IT HAS THIS TO
00:14:14.03\00:14:18.93
SAY, "AFTER THESE THINGS
I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, A DOOR
00:14:18.93\00:14:24.33
STANDING OPEN IN HEAVEN.
AND THE FIRST VOICE WHICH I
00:14:24.33\00:14:28.03
HEARD WAS AS IT WERE OF A
TRUMPET TALKING WITH ME; WHICH
00:14:28.03\00:14:32.66
SAID, COME UP HITHER, AND I WILL
SHEW THEE THINGS WHICH MUST BE
00:14:32.66\00:14:37.13
HEREAFTER." THIS
DOOR WAS OPENED IN HEAVEN.
00:14:37.13\00:14:42.43
IT SAYS THAT IT WAS OPENED
IN HEAVEN, NOT 'INTO HEAVEN'.
00:14:42.43\00:14:46.56
THERE WAS A DOOR OPENED INTO
HEAVEN THAT - WHEN JESUS WENT
00:14:46.56\00:14:51.60
BACK TO HEAVEN, BUT THIS DOOR IS
OPENED IN HEAVEN AND THAT MEANS
00:14:51.60\00:14:55.43
THE DOOR TO THE
SECOND COMPARTMENT.
00:14:55.43\00:15:00.06
SO THERE'S A DISTINCTION THERE.
YOU HAVE 24 ELDERS SEATED ON
00:15:00.06\00:15:04.66
THRONES. YOU GET A
PICTURE IN YOUR MIND,
00:15:04.66\00:15:06.30
OF COURSE, OF A COURTROOM WITH A
JUDGE, A DEFENDANT, PROSECUTORS,
00:15:06.30\00:15:13.60
A JURY - THE WHOLE
- EVERYTHING THERE.
00:15:13.60\00:15:16.73
AND I REMEMBER SCOFFERS
YEARS BACK THAT WERE TRYING TO
00:15:16.73\00:15:22.00
DOWNPLAY OR ACTUALLY TEACH
SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE
00:15:22.00\00:15:25.96
UNDERSTAND TO BE THE
TRUTH ABOUT THE SANCTUARY.
00:15:25.96\00:15:28.50
THEY WERE SAYING THINGS LIKE,
'YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS WENT TO
00:15:28.50\00:15:31.23
HEAVEN, HE SAT AT THE
RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
00:15:31.23\00:15:33.70
THAT MEANS HE WENT RIGHT INTO
THE MOST HOLY PLACE WITH THE
00:15:33.70\00:15:37.36
FATHER AT THAT TIME, SO YOU
CAN'T SAY HE WENT IN THERE IN
00:15:37.36\00:15:40.46
1844...' AND I'M THINKING, 'YOU
KNOW, FIRST, THE FATHER COULD
00:15:40.46\00:15:46.83
HAVE PRECEDED HIM RIGHT BEFORE
HE WENT INTO THE HOLY PLACE,
00:15:46.83\00:15:49.10
RIGHT? SECONDLY, THEY COULD HAVE
GONE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE
00:15:49.10\00:15:53.60
TWO COMPARTMENTS BUT WE KNOW FOR
A FACT, BIBLICALLY SPEAKING AND
00:15:53.60\00:15:57.80
FROM THE PEN OF INSPIRATION,
THAT JESUS, AS OUR HIGH PRIEST
00:15:57.80\00:16:01.43
WENT INTO THE MOST HOLY
PLACE IN 1844. WE KNOW THAT.
00:16:01.43\00:16:06.00
DON'T GET CONFUSED ABOUT THAT.
AND AT THE BOTTOM OF SUNDAY IT
00:16:06.00\00:16:09.73
SAYS THINGS LIKE THIS:
'IMAGINE BEING JUDGED BY GOD.
00:16:09.73\00:16:13.33
YOU WILL BE. IMAGINE
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER
00:16:13.33\00:16:16.16
DONE BEING JUDGED. IT WILL BE.
00:16:16.16\00:16:18.73
IF YOU HAVE TO STAND ON YOUR
RECORD, YOUR OWN DEEDS, YOUR OWN
00:16:18.73\00:16:21.43
GOOD WORKS, WHAT
HOPE DO YOU HAVE? ZERO.
00:16:21.43\00:16:24.53
WHAT THEN IS YOUR
ONLY HOPE IN JUDGMENT?'
00:16:24.53\00:16:26.50
THESE QUESTIONS SOUND OMINOUS.
00:16:26.50\00:16:28.46
DO THEY STRIKE
FEAR TO YOUR HEART?
00:16:28.46\00:16:31.83
WELL, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR
RELATIONSHIP TO THE JUDGE, FOR
00:16:31.83\00:16:34.76
ONE THING,
RIGHT? PURE AND SIMPLE.
00:16:34.76\00:16:37.43
BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER
VERY IMPORTANT FACTORS ALSO.
00:16:37.43\00:16:41.23
WHEN ONE OF MY BOYS WAS STILL
A TEENAGER, HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS
00:16:41.23\00:16:44.96
DRIVER'S LICENSE YET, AND HE WAS
OUT WITH SOME OF HIS FRIENDS.
00:16:44.96\00:16:48.26
ONE OF HIS FRIENDS HAD HIS
DRIVER'S LICENSE - THEY LIVED IN
00:16:48.26\00:16:51.23
THE COUNTRY AND THEY WERE
TRAVELING TO THIS BOY'S HOME
00:16:51.23\00:16:54.63
AND, I SUPPOSE, MY SON
ASKED, 'CAN I DRIVE YOUR CAR?'
00:16:54.63\00:16:59.53
AND THE OTHER BOY SAID, 'YEAH,
SURE.' WELL, YOU CAN ALREADY
00:16:59.53\00:17:04.16
PICTURE IN YOUR MIND A
DISASTER IN THE MAKING, RIGHT?
00:17:04.16\00:17:10.06
COUNTRY, FIRST TIME REALLY THAT
HE WAS DRIVING A CAR AND HE GETS
00:17:10.06\00:17:14.76
UNCONTROLLED IN THE LOOSE GRAVEL
AND OFF INTO THE DITCH HE GOES.
00:17:14.76\00:17:19.50
NOBODY'S HURT - WE'RE THANKFUL
ABOUT THAT - BUT HE DID RUN INTO
00:17:19.50\00:17:23.20
A TELEPHONE POLE AND BROKE
IT OFF. WELL, AT LEAST ONE THING
00:17:23.20\00:17:29.50
WE CAN SAY ABOUT THOSE
BOYS, THEY WERE HONEST.
00:17:29.50\00:17:32.66
THEY DIDN'T BACK UP AND
RUN AWAY AND 'NOBODY SAW IT.
00:17:32.66\00:17:36.06
WE'LL JUST FORGET LIKE IT NEVER
HAPPENED.' NO, THEY DIDN'T DO
00:17:36.06\00:17:38.50
THAT. THEY REPORTED IT.
THEY TOLD THEIR PARENTS.
00:17:38.50\00:17:40.73
THEY WENT AND
TOLD THE AUTHORITIES.
00:17:40.73\00:17:43.83
AND SO MY SON
HAD TO GO TO COURT.
00:17:43.83\00:17:46.60
NOW THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE
EVER BEEN TO COURT IN MY LIFE.
00:17:46.60\00:17:50.46
I HAVE TO ADMIT I
WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
00:17:50.46\00:17:55.13
NOW I THOUGHT IN MY MIND,
'NOTHING REALLY TERRIBLE'S GOING
00:17:55.13\00:17:58.93
TO HAPPEN.' BUT
SOME OF THE WORSE THINGS
00:17:58.93\00:18:01.53
CONJURED UP IN MY MIND, 'WELL,
THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE MY BOY AND
00:18:01.53\00:18:05.00
TAKE HIM TO A DELINQUENTLY,
YOU KNOW, A JUVENILE DELINQUENT
00:18:05.00\00:18:08.56
CENTER AND HE'S GOING TO BE
WHISKED AWAY' AND I WAS JUST
00:18:08.56\00:18:12.30
REALLY NERVOUS. WELL,
I'M THANKFUL TO REPORT
00:18:12.30\00:18:17.13
NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED.
HE DID HAVE TO PAY FOR THE POLE
00:18:17.13\00:18:20.70
BEING REPLACED. I
DON'T EVEN THINK THAT HE HAD
00:18:20.70\00:18:25.13
TO DELAY HIS TIME GETTING HIS
LICENSE, SO HE CAME OUT OF THAT
00:18:25.13\00:18:29.30
PRETTY GOOD. THE OUTCOME WASN'T
ALL THAT BAD. THIS WAS A VERY
00:18:29.30\00:18:34.76
SMALL COURTROOM SCENE COMPARED
TO THE ONE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:18:34.76\00:18:40.00
THE ONE THAT WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT HAS UNIVERSAL COVERAGE.
00:18:40.00\00:18:46.43
NOW, DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THAT
IS? NO, YOU DON'T. YOU KNOW WHY?
00:18:46.43\00:18:51.00
BECAUSE THEY KEEP DISCOVERING,
WITH THAT TELESCOPE OUT THERE,
00:18:51.00\00:18:54.13
NEW GALAXIES FAR, FAR, FAR
AWAY SO NONE OF US HAVE ANY
00:18:54.13\00:18:58.20
COMPREHENSION OF HOW BIG THIS
UNIVERSE REALLY IS, BUT THAT'S
00:18:58.20\00:19:03.06
HOW BIG THIS JUDGMENT IS BECAUSE
EVERYBODY IN THE UNIVERSE IS
00:19:03.06\00:19:09.80
CONCERNED AND INTERESTED IN THIS
JUDGMENT THAT WE ARE NOW IN.
00:19:09.80\00:19:16.30
THINK ABOUT THAT.
00:19:16.30\00:19:17.60
EVERYBODY IS WATCHING WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN
00:19:17.60\00:19:20.96
ABOUT THIS JUDGMENT THAT IS
TAKING PLACE WHEN THE JUDGE OF
00:19:20.96\00:19:25.20
THE UNIVERSE IS
JUDGING YOU AND ME.
00:19:25.20\00:19:29.46
WHEW, THAT MAKES
IT VERY, VERY BIG.
00:19:29.46\00:19:35.93
SO, HERE'S THE THING
WITH THIS COURTROOM SCENE.
00:19:35.93\00:19:38.46
THE MORE YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT
IT, THE MORE FEAR THAT WILL BE
00:19:38.46\00:19:42.33
REMOVED. I WAS
NERVOUS ABOUT MY SON'S
00:19:42.33\00:19:45.73
CONDITION BECAUSE I
DIDN'T KNOW THE LAWS.
00:19:45.73\00:19:47.93
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:19:47.93\00:19:49.46
BUT WE CAN KNOW VERY, VERY, VERY
MANY DETAILS ABOUT THIS JUDGMENT
00:19:49.46\00:19:54.86
THAT IS NOW IN PROCESS.
FIRST OF ALL, ONE THING WE CAN
00:19:54.86\00:19:58.06
KNOW, WHICH MY SON KNEW IN HIS
LITTLE COURTROOM THING, IS THAT
00:19:58.06\00:20:04.93
HE WAS GUILTY AND WE
CAN KNOW WE ARE GUILTY.
00:20:04.93\00:20:10.56
MY SON DIDN'T TRY TO AVOID THE
FACT THAT HE WAS GUILTY AND I
00:20:10.56\00:20:14.03
CAN TELL YOU IT IS GOING TO
DO YOU NO GOOD TO TRY TO PLEAD,
00:20:14.03\00:20:19.30
'NOT GUILTY.' WHY?
BECAUSE THE ADVERSARY - THE
00:20:19.30\00:20:24.43
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY - HAS
ALL THE LOW-DOWN DIRTY DETAILS
00:20:24.43\00:20:29.10
ON YOUR LIFE. HE
KNOWS THEM FROM A TO Z.
00:20:29.10\00:20:33.20
EXHIBITS A TO Z ON EVERY ONE OF
US AND THEY WILL BE RIGHT THERE
00:20:33.20\00:20:38.86
FOR THE JUDGE TO SEE -
FOR THE WHOLE UNIVERSE TO SEE.
00:20:38.86\00:20:42.66
SO YOU CANNOT GO TO
THIS JUDGMENT SCENE AND PLEAD
00:20:42.66\00:20:47.80
'NOT GUILTY'. IT AMAZES ME.
00:20:47.80\00:20:50.26
IT ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDS ME WHEN
YOU SEE SOMEBODY, IN THE PUBLIC,
00:20:50.26\00:20:54.53
GO OUT AND SHOOT MAYBE
TEN PEOPLE OR ONE AND THERE'S
00:20:54.53\00:20:58.30
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT
ARE WITNESSES - MAYBE IT'S EVEN
00:20:58.30\00:21:01.76
CAUGHT ON CAMERA - THEY CAPTURE
THE PERSON THAT'S RESPONSIBLE,
00:21:01.76\00:21:06.70
THEY TAKE HIM TO COURT MONTHS
LATER AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
00:21:06.70\00:21:11.40
HE PLEADS 'NOT GUILTY'. WHAT?
00:21:11.40\00:21:15.16
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU'RE NOT GUILTY?
00:21:15.16\00:21:17.16
EVERYBODY SAW YOU
DO IT. NOT GUILTY.
00:21:17.16\00:21:20.80
HA, I CAN TELL YOU IT'S
NOT GOING TO DO US ANY GOOD TO
00:21:20.80\00:21:25.03
PLEASE - TO PLEAD 'NOT GUILTY'.
00:21:25.03\00:21:28.10
LATELY IN THE NEWS - YOU'VE
PROBABLY NOTICED IT, THOSE OF
00:21:28.10\00:21:31.36
YOU WHO LIVE HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES - SAW THIS YOUNG MAN, GOT
00:21:31.36\00:21:37.16
INTOXICATED WITH ALCOHOL, WENT
OUT DRIVING, GOT INVOLVED IN AN
00:21:37.16\00:21:41.40
ACCIDENT, AND IN THIS ACCIDENT
SOME 50-SOMETHING-YEAR-OLD GUY
00:21:41.40\00:21:47.50
IN THE OTHER CAR WAS KILLED.
THIS YOUNG MAN WENT ON THE
00:21:47.50\00:21:51.80
SOCIAL MEDIA, VIDEOTAPED
HIMSELF AND SAID, 'I AM GUILTY.
00:21:51.80\00:21:55.76
I DID THIS. I'M READY TO TAKE MY
PUNISHMENT.' AND IT WAS ALMOST
00:21:55.76\00:22:05.06
AMWAS DOING SOMETHING
WRONG. 'WHY IS HE DOING THAT?
00:22:05.06\00:22:08.60
WHAT, DOES HE THINK HE'S GOING
TO GET OFF MORE BECAUSE HE'S
00:22:08.60\00:22:10.76
DOING THIS?' NO, HE
WAS DOING IT BECAUSE HE
00:22:10.76\00:22:13.46
KNEW HE WAS GUILTY. HE
WAS OVERCOME WITH GUILT.
00:22:13.46\00:22:17.43
HE TOOK A PERSON'S LIFE
BECAUSE HE WAS INTOXICATED.
00:22:17.43\00:22:19.86
IT WAS HIS FAULT. AND
SO, WHEN IT COMES TO THE
00:22:19.86\00:22:23.63
JUDGMENT, WE ARE GUILTY.
WE ARE SINNERS. WE ALL DESERVE
00:22:23.63\00:22:29.73
THE DEATH PENALTY.
PEOPLE DO SOMETHING TODAY,
00:22:29.73\00:22:35.30
THEY GO TO COURT
AND SAY 'NOT GUILTY'.
00:22:35.30\00:22:36.76
THEY ADD A LIE TO
ALL THEIR OTHER PROBLEMS.
00:22:36.76\00:22:39.46
WHEN WE GO TO THIS JUDGMENT AND
WE SAY, 'OH, I DIDN'T DO THAT.
00:22:39.46\00:22:43.33
I DIDN'T DO THAT.'
YOU'RE ADDING LIES TO ALL THE
00:22:43.33\00:22:46.70
THINGS YOU DID
DO. YOU'RE GUILTY.
00:22:46.70\00:22:51.16
PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS -
WHAT IS GOING ON - MIGHT SAY,
00:22:51.16\00:22:53.86
'ARE YOU GIVING UP THAT
EASY JUST TO ADMIT YOUR GUILT?'
00:22:53.86\00:22:56.80
WELL, YES, IT IS THAT EASY
BECAUSE WE KNOW SOME OTHER FACTS
00:22:56.80\00:23:03.26
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO.
WE DO NOT PLEAD 'NOT GUILTY'.
00:23:03.26\00:23:07.06
WE PLEAD FOR MERCY AND MERCY
CAN BE EXTENDED TO ALL OF US.
00:23:07.06\00:23:14.50
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS
ABOUT THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT.
00:23:14.50\00:23:18.16
I'VE SEEN THROUGH THE YEARS -
I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN IT MANY TIMES
00:23:18.16\00:23:21.10
- PEOPLE GET UPSET WITH THE
PASTOR - AND IT'S HAPPENED TO ME
00:23:21.10\00:23:23.80
BUT PEOPLE GET
UPSET WITH THE PASTOR.
00:23:23.80\00:23:25.60
THEY ALL GO ON THIS RAMPAGE
AGAINST THE PASTOR - EVEN GO
00:23:25.60\00:23:28.03
PUBLIC ABOUT IT - ACCUSING THE
PASTOR OF THIS AND THAT AND, IN
00:23:28.03\00:23:31.23
TIME, THE TRUTH COMES OUT
AND THEY REALIZE THAT THEY WERE
00:23:31.23\00:23:36.80
TOTALLY WRONG. I'VE
TRIED TO THINK BACK AND I
00:23:36.80\00:23:40.06
CAN NEVER THINK BACK TO
ANY INDIVIDUAL THAT SAYS,
00:23:40.06\00:23:43.00
'YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M SORRY. I
WAS WRONG.' WHAT? WHY DON'T YOU?
00:23:43.00\00:23:49.83
YOU CAN'T GO INTO THE JUDGMENT
- IF THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT
00:23:49.83\00:23:53.80
DOESN'T TEACH US ANYTHING ELSE,
WE'D BETTER SAY, 'I'M WRONG.
00:23:53.80\00:23:57.70
I DID SOMETHING BAD.
00:23:57.70\00:23:59.40
I MUST CONFESS.' IT
SEEMS LIKE WE JUST SAY,
00:23:59.40\00:24:04.63
'WELL, IT'S BETTER TO TRY TO
HIDE IT AND COVER IT UP AND ACT
00:24:04.63\00:24:08.26
LIKE I DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING WRONG.'
00:24:08.26\00:24:11.36
OR WE TRY TO
CHANGE THE PLAYING FIELD.
00:24:11.36\00:24:15.06
LIKE A LITTLE BOY
ANNOUNCED TO HIS MOTHER.
00:24:15.06\00:24:17.33
HE SAID, 'MOTHER, I'M LIKE
GOLIATH. I'M NINE FEET TALL.'
00:24:17.33\00:24:23.50
'WELL, WHY DO YOU SAY
THAT?' ASKED HIS MOTHER.
00:24:23.50\00:24:30.96
AND I MEASURED MYSELF BY IT
AND RULEI'M NINE FEET TALL.'RU
00:24:30.96\00:24:35.66
HE CHANGED THE RULES,
DIDN'T HE? HE CHANGED THE RULER.
00:24:35.66\00:24:38.70
AND IT SEEMS LIKE SOME PEOPLE
TRY TO DO THAT WHEN IT COMES
00:24:38.70\00:24:42.06
TO SIN. WE
CAN'T CHANGE THE RULE.
00:24:42.06\00:24:44.50
WE'RE JUDGED BY A SPECIFIC RULE
- THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY.
00:24:44.50\00:24:49.43
THE LAW OF GOD IS THE
STANDARD OF THE JUDGMENT, RIGHT?
00:24:49.43\00:24:53.30
YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
00:24:53.30\00:24:55.73
YOU CAN'T ACT LIKE
YOU'RE INNOCENT OF IT.
00:24:55.73\00:24:57.30
YOU ARE GUILTY OF
IT. I'M GUILTY OF IT.
00:24:57.30\00:25:00.63
THE MEASUREMENT FOR THE JUDGMENT
HAS ALWAYS REMAINED THE SAME.
00:25:00.63\00:25:04.36
IT CANNOT BE CHANGED. MY
SON DIDN'T HAVE A LAWYER.
00:25:04.36\00:25:10.16
THAT'S ONE THING HE DIDN'T HAVE
GOING FOR HIM THAT WE HAVE GOING
00:25:10.16\00:25:14.80
FOR US. HE STOOD
THERE BEFORE THE JUDGE
00:25:14.80\00:25:19.66
BY HIMSELF. I
COULDN'T EVEN SPEAK FOR HIM.
00:25:19.66\00:25:23.80
NO LAWYER SPOKE FOR HIM.
IT WAS JUST HE AND THE JUDGE.
00:25:23.80\00:25:29.40
WELL, IN THIS PRE-ADVENT
JUDGMENT WE HAVE REPRESENTATION.
00:25:29.40\00:25:36.16
WE HAVE A LAWYER. NO,
WE DON'T HAVE A LAWYER,
00:25:36.16\00:25:38.26
WE HAVE THE LAWYER.
THE ADVOCATE, JESUS CHRIST.
00:25:38.26\00:25:43.50
IF YOU'VE TAKEN HIM AS YOUR
SAVIOR, IF YOU'VE GIVEN HIM YOUR
00:25:43.50\00:25:46.70
LIFE, YOU HAVE HIM AS YOUR
REPRESENTATIVE - AS YOUR LAWYER.
00:25:46.70\00:25:53.03
NOW COMPILE THE FACTS TO OUR
CASE AND THINGS BEGIN TO START
00:25:53.03\00:25:56.33
LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. IN
FACT, THEY LOOK REALLY GOOD.
00:25:56.33\00:25:59.56
WE MAY, IN ESSENCE, LOSE OUR
CASE BECAUSE WE'RE GUILTY BUT WE
00:25:59.56\00:26:04.13
WIN ETERNAL FREEDOM BECAUSE
OF THE MERCY THAT OUR LAWYER AND
00:26:04.13\00:26:09.06
OUR JUDGE - SAME PERSON - YOU
CAN'T GO WRONG WHEN HE'S YOUR
00:26:09.06\00:26:13.10
SAVIOR. HE'S BOTH.
00:26:13.10\00:26:15.96
HE WILL EXTEND YOU MERCY AND YOU
WILL HAVE ETERNAL FREEDOM AND
00:26:15.96\00:26:19.56
SALVATION BECAUSE OF ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING THAT WE HAVE DONE BUT
00:26:19.56\00:26:24.00
BECAUSE OF
EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS DONE.
00:26:24.00\00:26:27.10
THE JUDGMENT ISN'T A BAD THING
IF YOU KNOW ALL THE FACTS OF THE
00:26:27.10\00:26:30.30
CASE AND IF YOU COMPLY WITH
THE PERTINENT INFORMATION OF ALL
00:26:30.30\00:26:34.73
THOSE FACTS. THE JUDGMENT IS NOT
A BAD THING, IT'S A GOOD THING.
00:26:34.73\00:26:39.30
IT'S A THING UNTO SALVATION
AS THE LESSON POINTS OUT.
00:26:39.30\00:26:44.83
WELL, WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO
MONDAY ENTITLED 'THE JUDGMENT
00:26:44.83\00:26:47.00
PATTERN' - WHICH WE'VE ALREADY
STARTED TO ADDRESS, ACTUALLY.
00:26:47.00\00:26:51.46
THE LESSON STARTS BY MAKING THIS
STATEMENT, 'THE CONCEPT OF AN
00:26:51.46\00:26:54.70
INVESTIGATIVE
JUDGMENT IS BIBLICAL.'
00:26:54.70\00:26:57.73
THEN IT BRINGS OUT
THE EXAMPLE IN GENESIS 3.
00:26:57.73\00:27:00.76
WELL, WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN GENESIS 3?
00:27:00.76\00:27:03.10
THE DOWNFALL IS
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:27:03.10\00:27:05.43
ADAM AND EVE SINNED AND THEY
FLED THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND GOD
00:27:05.43\00:27:10.76
BEGINS TO INQUIRE - HE BEGINS TO
INVESTIGATE AND HE BEGINS TO ASK
00:27:10.76\00:27:15.40
QUESTIONS. DOES HE ASK THOSE
QUESTIONS - DOES HE INVESTIGATE
00:27:15.40\00:27:18.30
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW
THE FACTS? NO, HE ASKS THOSE
00:27:18.30\00:27:21.70
QUESTIONS BECAUSE HE
WANTS EVERYTHING TO COME OUT
00:27:21.70\00:27:25.60
IN THE OPEN. HE
KNOWS THE DETAILS IN THIS
00:27:25.60\00:27:28.80
INVESTIGATION FOR THE JUDGMENT
THAT IS NOW IN PLACE MORE SO
00:27:28.80\00:27:31.86
THAN WE DO. HE
KNOWS OUR EVERY DETAIL.
00:27:31.86\00:27:35.00
THE INVESTIGATION IS PUBLIC
SO THAT ALL CREATION WILL KNOW
00:27:35.00\00:27:39.76
EVERY DETAIL AS GOD KNOWS THEM.
00:27:39.76\00:27:43.06
GOD ALWAYS DOES
EVERYTHING IN PERFECTION.
00:27:43.06\00:27:47.00
BUT HE ALWAYS DOES THEM IN
PERFECTION FOR THE BENEFIT OF
00:27:47.00\00:27:49.76
OTHER PEOPLE
BECAUSE HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.
00:27:49.76\00:27:52.53
SO HE DOES THIS WHOLE PRE-ADVENT
JUDGMENT THING FOR THE SAKE OF
00:27:52.53\00:27:58.00
ALL CREATED BEINGS OF
ALL THE WORLDS AND OURSELVES.
00:27:58.00\00:28:03.40
GOD DOESN'T NEED BOOKS IN
HEAVEN - FOR THEM TO BE OPENED -
00:28:03.40\00:28:06.83
BECAUSE HE HELPED KEEP THOSE
BOOKS AND HE KNOWS EVERYTHING IN
00:28:06.83\00:28:11.70
THOSE BOOKS. HE HAS MORE
THAN A PHOTOGRAPHIC MIND.
00:28:11.70\00:28:14.76
BOOKS ARE KEPT FOR THE
BENEFIT OF EVERYONE ELSE.
00:28:14.76\00:28:17.33
IF YOU HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS
- EVEN A LITTLE BUSINESS - YOU
00:28:17.33\00:28:20.13
HAVE TO KEEP BOOKS.
NOW YOU MAY, BECAUSE YOUR
00:28:20.13\00:28:23.26
BUSINESS IS VERY SMALL, LET'S
SAY, YOU MAY KNOW EXACTLY WHERE
00:28:23.26\00:28:26.63
YOU STAND FINANCIALLY AT ALL
TIMES BUT YOU STILL NEED TO KEEP
00:28:26.63\00:28:30.10
BOOKS. WHY? FOR
THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS.
00:28:30.10\00:28:32.26
PEOPLE LIKE IRS NEED TO KNOW
THAT YOU'RE KEEPING BOOKS AND
00:28:32.26\00:28:36.23
YOU NEED TO REPORT SOME OF
THESE FACTS TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
00:28:36.23\00:28:40.03
AND THAT'S WHAT GOD DOES.
00:28:40.03\00:28:41.43
HE KEEPS BOOKS SO THAT EVERYBODY
WILL BE INFORMED - EVERYBODY
00:28:41.43\00:28:44.63
WILL UNDERSTAND ALL THE FACTS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR.
00:28:44.63\00:28:48.93
THE BOTTOM QUOTATION
FROM TESTIMONIES VOLUME 5 IS
00:28:48.93\00:28:52.40
APPROPRIATE TO WHAT WE'VE
ALREADY BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
00:28:52.40\00:28:54.53
IT SAYS, "THE FACT THAT THE
ACKNOWLEDGED PEOPLE OF GOD ARE
00:28:54.53\00:28:58.13
REPRESENTED AS STANDING BEFORE
THE LORD IN FILTHY GARMENTS
00:28:58.13\00:29:03.16
SHOULD LEAD TO HUMILITY AND DEEP
SEARCHING OF HEART ON THE PART
00:29:03.16\00:29:07.36
OF ALL WHO PROFESS HIS NAME.
00:29:07.36\00:29:09.40
THOSE WHO ARE INDEED PURIFYING
THEIR SOULS BY OBEYING THE TRUTH
00:29:09.40\00:29:13.56
WILL HAVE A MOST HUMBLE OPINION
OF THEMSELVES. BUT WHILE WE
00:29:13.56\00:29:17.93
SHOULD REALIZE OUR SINFUL
CONDITION, WE ARE TO RELY UPON
00:29:17.93\00:29:21.60
CHRIST AS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
OUR SANCTIFICATION AND OUR
00:29:21.60\00:29:26.23
REDEMPTION. WE
CANNOT ANSWER - WE CANNOT
00:29:26.23\00:29:29.96
ANSWER THE CHARGES
OF SATAN AGAINST US.
00:29:29.96\00:29:33.10
CHRIST ALONE CAN MAKE AN
EFFECTUAL PLEA IN OUR BEHALF.
00:29:33.10\00:29:35.86
HE IS ABLE TO SILENCE THE
ACCUSER WITH ARGUMENTS FOUNDED
00:29:35.86\00:29:40.40
NOT UPON OUR MERITS
BUT ON HIS OWN." WOW.
00:29:40.40\00:29:44.76
THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. I
COULDN'T SAY IT ANY BETTER.
00:29:44.76\00:29:47.26
MOVING ON TO TUESDAY
ENTITLED 'TIME OF THE JUDGMENT'.
00:29:47.26\00:29:52.43
WE CONSIDER THE ISSUES OF WHEN
WE ARE TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS
00:29:52.43\00:29:57.53
JUDGMENT. WHEN I
WAS BOY, IN ANOTHER
00:29:57.53\00:29:59.96
CHURCH, I DIDN'T KNOW
HARDLY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BIBLE.
00:29:59.96\00:30:03.23
THE CONCEPT OF THE END OF THE
WORLD AND THE JUDGMENT, THIS IS
00:30:03.23\00:30:06.90
HOW I PICTURED IT - THAT I, AT
THE END OF THE WORLD - GOD WOULD
00:30:06.90\00:30:11.03
BE THERE AS THE JUDGE AND I
WOULD BE IN THIS LONG, LONG,
00:30:11.03\00:30:15.50
LONG LINE OF PEOPLE AND
EVENTUALLY, AFTER SHAKING FOR
00:30:15.50\00:30:19.56
PROBABLY YEARS AND YEARS UNTIL
IT GOT TO BE MY TURN, MY TURN
00:30:19.56\00:30:24.70
WOULD BE THERE TO
STAND IN FRONT OF GOD.
00:30:24.70\00:30:26.86
THAT'S HOW I
PICTURED THE JUDGMENT.
00:30:26.86\00:30:28.96
WHEW, WAS I EVER HAPPY TO
READ THE BIBLE ABOUT THE TRUTH.
00:30:28.96\00:30:34.16
IT MADE SUCH A WONDERFUL
RELIEF TO MY WHOLE BEING.
00:30:34.16\00:30:39.06
IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL.
WHEN JESUS COMES - THE BIBLE
00:30:39.06\00:30:44.86
SAYS, 'HIS REWARD WILL
BE WITH HIM WHEN HE COMES.'
00:30:44.86\00:30:48.93
HE GIVES HIS REWARDS OUT AT
THAT TIME SO THAT JUDGMENT WILL
00:30:48.93\00:30:52.16
ALREADY HAVE BEEN FINISHED WHEN
HE STEPS OUT OF THE COURTS OF
00:30:52.16\00:30:56.03
HEAVEN. AND I
BELIEVE THE LESSON WILL
00:30:56.03\00:31:00.20
GET INTO THIS MORE FULLY NEXT
WEEK, BUT THE JUDGMENT WE ARE
00:31:00.20\00:31:03.23
NOW IN WAS THE FULFILLMENT OF
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT ONCE A YEAR
00:31:03.23\00:31:07.73
IN THE SANCTUARY
SERVICES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:31:07.73\00:31:11.40
WHILE THE PRIEST WOULD GO INTO
THE MOST HOLY PLACE ONCE A YEAR,
00:31:11.40\00:31:16.20
IT WAS A TIME OF INTENSE -
INTENSITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:31:16.20\00:31:21.80
WILL GOD ACCEPT THEIR PRAYERS
OF, YOU KNOW, REPENTANCE AND
00:31:21.80\00:31:28.36
CONFESSIONS? WILL HE
CLEAN THE SANCTUARY OF
00:31:28.36\00:31:31.43
ALL THOSE SINS OF
THE WHOLE PAST YEAR?
00:31:31.43\00:31:35.03
THE LONGER THE PRIEST STAYED
IN THERE, THE MORE INTENSE THE
00:31:35.03\00:31:38.46
PEOPLE GOT.
WOULD THEY BE ACCEPTED?
00:31:38.46\00:31:42.46
A LOT OF PRAYING
WENT ON DURING THAT DAY.
00:31:42.46\00:31:46.23
WHEN HE CAME OUT,
JUDGMENT WAS DONE.
00:31:46.23\00:31:49.40
THERE WAS A HUGE, CORPORATE SIGH
OF RELIEF AND, HERE'S MY POINT,
00:31:49.40\00:31:57.53
DURING THAT DAY OF GREAT
INTENSITY, HOW ALSO SHOULD THE
00:31:57.53\00:32:02.16
CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL BEEN THINKING?
00:32:02.16\00:32:06.16
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
IN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS?
00:32:06.16\00:32:08.76
YES, INTENSITY, 'WILL
MY SINS BE FORGIVEN, LORD?'
00:32:08.76\00:32:13.13
PRAYING THAT MY SINS WILL
BE BLOTTED OUT AND COMPLETELY
00:32:13.13\00:32:15.56
CLEANSED FROM THE SANCTUARY,
YES, BUT IT ALSO SHOULD HAVE
00:32:15.56\00:32:19.40
CONTAINED - THERE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN IN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS A
00:32:19.40\00:32:22.30
GREAT DEAL OF HOPE AND PEACE
THAT THIS JUDGMENT IS ALL ABOUT
00:32:22.30\00:32:27.06
SANCTUARY - I MEAN
ALL ABOUT SALVATION.
00:32:27.06\00:32:30.66
THIS JUDGMENT IS ALL ABOUT
SALVATION AND IF WE CONFESS OUR
00:32:30.66\00:32:35.60
SINS HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO
FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND WE CAN
00:32:35.60\00:32:39.23
HAVE PEACE. WE
SHOULD LIVE IN A CONTINUAL
00:32:39.23\00:32:42.53
STATE - THIS IS WHAT WE'VE
BEEN TOLD ACTUALLY - A CONTINUAL
00:32:42.53\00:32:46.03
STATE OF REPENTANCE, WHILE
AT THE SAME TIME LIVING IN A
00:32:46.03\00:32:51.96
CONTINUAL SPACE OF HOPE AND
PEACE BECAUSE OUR JUDGMENT IS
00:32:51.96\00:33:00.33
GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND
JESUS IS TAKING OUR CASE.
00:33:00.33\00:33:04.50
IN FACT - IN FACT, IT'S ALREADY
BEEN DECIDED. IT'S ALREADY BEEN
00:33:04.50\00:33:12.03
PROVIDED - THE OUTCOME -
IF WE ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
00:33:12.03\00:33:18.96
WE MUST HAVE THIS DUAL
DYNAMIC GOING ON IN OUR LIFE.
00:33:18.96\00:33:22.76
WE MUST LIVE IN A STATE OF
HUMILITY AND REPENTANCE BUT ALSO
00:33:22.76\00:33:25.76
WITH PEACE AND HOPE. SO,
WHILE THIS TIME SHOULD BE A
00:33:25.76\00:33:29.76
TIME OF INTENSITY ON OUR PART,
IT IS ALSO TO BE NOTED - AS THE
00:33:29.76\00:33:36.00
LESSON POINTED OUT - THE
PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT IS GOOD
00:33:36.00\00:33:43.36
NEWS. IT'S GOOD
NEWS. IT'S GREAT NEWS.
00:33:43.36\00:33:45.70
IT'S THE BEST NEWS.
WHICH ALL THAT BRINGS US TO
00:33:45.70\00:33:48.90
WEDNESDAY'S LESSON ENTITLED
'WHEN THE JUDGMENT ENDS'.
00:33:48.90\00:33:52.90
NOW I REALIZE WE'VE BEEN JUMPING
AROUND IN THIS LESSON A LITTLE
00:33:52.90\00:33:55.16
BIT - GETTING AHEAD OF
OURSELVES, BEHIND OURSELVES.
00:33:55.16\00:33:58.13
IT'S A LITTLE HARD NOT TO DO
THAT ON THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE IT
00:33:58.13\00:34:01.26
ALL JUST TIES IN SO MUCH,
BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS ONE,
00:34:01.26\00:34:08.46
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
00:34:08.46\00:34:10.26
'WHEN THE JUDGMENT ENDS' AND
IN THE LESSON IT BRINGS OUT SOME
00:34:10.26\00:34:15.40
QUESTIONS: 'WHAT ARE THE RESULTS
OF THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT?'
00:34:15.40\00:34:18.86
AND THEN IT GIVES
SEVERAL OF THOSE RESULTS.
00:34:18.86\00:34:20.86
I THINK IT'S KIND OF IMPORTANT
WE JUST TOUCH ON THOSE VERY
00:34:20.86\00:34:23.16
QUICKLY. THE FIRST
ONE - AND IT PROBABLY
00:34:23.16\00:34:24.83
WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST
THAT MOST OF US WRITE DOWN.
00:34:24.83\00:34:28.10
IF WE WERE TO SAY, 'WRITE
DOWN THE FIRST RESULTS OF THE
00:34:28.10\00:34:31.70
PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT' WE PROBABLY
WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS DOWN
00:34:31.70\00:34:35.06
BUT WE SHOULD. IT
SAYS, 'THAT IS, THE SON OF
00:34:35.06\00:34:40.76
MAN IS CROWNED.'
THAT'S THE RESULT OF THIS
00:34:40.76\00:34:44.86
PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT -
THE SON OF MAN IS CROWNED.
00:34:44.86\00:34:48.33
DANIEL 7:14 SAYS, "AND THERE WAS
GIVEN HIM DOMINION, AND GLORY,
00:34:48.33\00:34:51.26
AND A KINGDOM, THAT ALL PEOPLE,
NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES SHOULD
00:34:51.26\00:34:54.00
SERVE HIM: HIS DOMINION IS
AN EVERLASTING DOMINION, WHICH
00:34:54.00\00:34:57.43
SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, AND HIS
KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE
00:34:57.43\00:35:00.60
DESTROYED." IN ALL THINGS JESUS
NEEDS TO BE THE ONE LIFTED UP.
00:35:00.60\00:35:05.76
HE'S THE ONE THAT'S PROVIDED
US ALL THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT THIS
00:35:05.76\00:35:09.63
JUDGMENT AND IF WE AREN'T -
HAVEN'T TOTALLY GOTTEN USED TO
00:35:09.63\00:35:13.26
THAT CONCEPT, WE BETTER GET USED
TO IT BECAUSE WHEN WE GET TO
00:35:13.26\00:35:15.73
HEAVEN WE'RE GOING TO BE
FILLED WITH SUCH GRATITUDE - AN
00:35:15.73\00:35:19.13
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
CONTINUALLY, THAT WE'LL BE
00:35:19.13\00:35:22.10
SINGING 'HOLY, HOLY, HOLY'
AND NEVER GET TIRED OF DOING IT.
00:35:22.10\00:35:25.90
THAT SEEMS AMAZING
TO ME BUT IT'S TRUE.
00:35:25.90\00:35:30.90
WHEN THE JUDGMENT ENDS SOMETHING
WILL HAPPEN IN THE HEART AND
00:35:30.90\00:35:33.13
MIND OF EVERY REDEEMED PERSON:
A CHANGE IN THE TWINKLING OF AN
00:35:33.13\00:35:35.56
EYE WILL TAKE PLACE THAT
YOU WILL NOT WANT TO DO HARDLY
00:35:35.56\00:35:40.43
ANYTHING BUT PRAISE GOD
FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.
00:35:40.43\00:35:44.36
NOW I PERSONALLY KIND OF GET
DISGUSTED SOMETIMES WITH THE WAY
00:35:44.36\00:35:48.73
THE WORLD TRIES TO PROMOTE THIS
PERSON OR THAT PERSON AS SOME
00:35:48.73\00:35:52.33
KIND OF A HERO.
WHETHER IT'S IN THE FIELD OF
00:35:52.33\00:35:54.70
SPORTS OR THE FIELD OF
ENTERTAINMENT - EVEN FIREMEN AND
00:35:54.70\00:35:59.30
POLICEMEN. WE WANT
A HERO AND, YES, THERE
00:35:59.30\00:36:02.16
ARE SOME AMAZING PEOPLE THAT
DO SOME AMAZING THINGS TO RESCUE
00:36:02.16\00:36:05.23
PEOPLE AND I'M NOT PUTTING
THAT DOWN - THAT'S WONDERFUL.
00:36:05.23\00:36:08.36
BUT WE JUST SEEM TO HAVE THIS
ATTITUDE - WE'VE GOT TO HAVE
00:36:08.36\00:36:11.70
OURSELVES A HERO THAT
WE ALMOST BOW DOWN TO.
00:36:11.70\00:36:15.03
I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THAT
BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE REAL
00:36:15.03\00:36:19.66
HERO AND THAT'S
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.
00:36:19.66\00:36:23.90
SO WHEN JESUS COMES, I'M NOT THE
MOST EMOTIONAL PERSON, YOU KNOW,
00:36:23.90\00:36:32.43
MUSIC - I LOVE MUSIC BUT I DON'T
GET AS WRAPPED UP IN MUSIC AS A
00:36:32.43\00:36:37.10
LOT OF PEOPLE DO, IT JUST
STIRS INTO SOMETHING, I GUESS,
00:36:37.10\00:36:39.60
MORE THAN I CAN IMAGINE, BUT I
THINK THAT WHEN JESUS COMES AND
00:36:39.60\00:36:43.70
DOES THAT TWINKLING OF AN EYE
CHANGE IN ME, I'M GOING TO BE SO
00:36:43.70\00:36:47.33
BUBBLING OVER WITH EMOTION,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED -
00:36:47.33\00:36:49.76
WHAT HIT ME. I THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE SOMETHING DYNAMIC.
00:36:49.76\00:36:53.90
WELL, THE SECOND RESULT
MENTIONED IN PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT
00:36:53.90\00:36:56.20
IS THE SAINTS RECEIVE THE
KINGDOM FOREVER AND HOW WE
00:36:56.20\00:36:58.96
SHOULD LOVE - DANIEL 7:22 -
"UNTIL THE ANCIENT OF DAYS CAME,
00:36:58.96\00:37:03.13
AND JUDGMENT WAS GIVEN TO THE
SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH; AND THE
00:37:03.13\00:37:05.70
TIME CAME THAT THE
SAINTS POSSESSED THE KINGDOM."
00:37:05.70\00:37:08.63
WE NEED TO LET THOSE WORDS SINK
IN, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE LESSON
00:37:08.63\00:37:12.66
SAYS, 'THIS JUDGMENT LEADS
TO A TIME WHEN THE KING OF THE
00:37:12.66\00:37:15.66
EVERLASTING KINGDOM IS
REUNITED WITH HIS PEOPLE.
00:37:15.66\00:37:18.76
THIS IS THE GREATEST
REWARD - AND HIS.' WOW,
00:37:18.76\00:37:22.96
WE NEED TO LET THAT SINK IN.
IS THIS HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
00:37:22.96\00:37:26.40
DO THINK ON THIS AS THE GREATEST
REWARD, NOT ONLY FOR YOU BUT FOR
00:37:26.40\00:37:29.90
HIM? IT IS HIS GREATEST REWARD.
HE PAID THE PRICE FOR THIS
00:37:29.90\00:37:34.90
REWARD AND WE NEED TO SPEND
TIME CONTEMPLATING THAT FACT.
00:37:34.90\00:37:40.70
STOP AND THINK ABOUT
WHAT YOU ARE PURSUING IN LIFE.
00:37:40.70\00:37:44.06
WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD
THINGS PEOPLE PURSUE - A LOT OF
00:37:44.06\00:37:48.20
WONDERFUL THINGS PEOPLE PURSUE,
BUT THEY ALL KIND OF PALE INTO
00:37:48.20\00:37:51.96
INSIGNIFICANCE WHEN IT COMPARES
TO PURSUING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
00:37:51.96\00:37:57.33
WE NEED TO KEEP PURSUING THESE
THINGS BECAUSE WE LIVE HERE ON
00:37:57.33\00:37:59.70
THIS EARTH, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, WE SHOULD BE PURSUING THE
00:37:59.70\00:38:03.53
KINGDOM OF GOD
ULTIMATELY NUMBER ONE, RIGHT?
00:38:03.53\00:38:07.23
NOW THE THIRD RESULT MENTIONED
IN THE LESSON IS 'THE REBELLION
00:38:07.23\00:38:10.53
IS DEFEATED AND DESTROYED.
SIN WILL NOT RISE UP AGAIN.'
00:38:10.53\00:38:14.30
NAHUM 1:9 SAYS, "WHAT DO
YE IMAGINE AGAINST THE LORD?
00:38:14.30\00:38:18.40
HE WILL MAKE AN UTTER END:
AFFLICTION SHALL NOT RISE UP THE
00:38:18.40\00:38:22.36
SECOND TIME." NO
MORE SIN EVER AGAIN.
00:38:22.36\00:38:29.36
NOW WE'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY
IN THE PAST, 'NO MORE TAXES'
00:38:29.36\00:38:32.90
AND THEN WE HAD TAXES. WELL,
I CAN ASSURE YOU NO MORE SIN.
00:38:32.90\00:38:38.20
YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE TO
DOUBT THAT BECAUSE GOD SAID IT.
00:38:38.20\00:38:41.90
YEAH, WELL, AMAZING.
THE UGLY EXPERIMENT WITH SIN
00:38:41.90\00:38:45.83
WILL BE FOREVER BEHIND US. I
DON'T THINK WE CAN EVEN BEGIN
00:38:45.83\00:38:49.50
TO IMAGINE THE DEPTH OF THIS
CONCEPT. I THINK WE SHOULD TRY.
00:38:49.50\00:38:54.03
THE SENTENCE IS ALSO MADE,
IN THE LESSON, THAT AFTER THAT -
00:38:54.03\00:38:57.36
AFTER THE HORN MAKES WAR WITH
THE SAINTS IT IS DEFEATED ITSELF
00:38:57.36\00:39:01.50
AND DESTROYED FOREVER - THIS
HORN POWER. NOW WE READ THAT AND
00:39:01.50\00:39:06.03
WE SAY, 'OH, YEAH,
WELL, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:39:06.03\00:39:08.93
YEAH, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN.' BUT READ THAT AGAIN.
00:39:08.93\00:39:13.73
'AFTER THE HORN MAKES WAR WITH
THE SAINTS IT IS DEFEATED ITSELF
00:39:13.73\00:39:16.86
AND DESTROYED
FOREVER.' THAT'S POWERFUL NEWS.
00:39:16.86\00:39:20.20
NO, NONE OF US ARE SUFFERING
RIGHT NOW FROM THIS HORN POWER -
00:39:20.20\00:39:23.10
PROBABLY NOBODY HERE, BUT ONE
DAY SOON WE WILL BE AND SO BADLY
00:39:23.10\00:39:29.96
THAT WHEN IT'S OVER YOU'RE GOING
TO - YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SUCH A
00:39:29.96\00:39:33.73
SIGH OF RELIEF YOU CAN'T EVEN
BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT IT'S GOING
00:39:33.73\00:39:36.23
TO BE LIKE. THIS
LITTLE HORN POWER IS GOING
00:39:36.23\00:39:39.06
TO MAKE YOUR LIFE
MISERABLE. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:39:39.06\00:39:43.93
THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE.
IT'S GOING TO BE DRASTIC.
00:39:43.93\00:39:46.66
AND I HOPE THAT YOU
REMEMBER BACK TO THIS LESSON.
00:39:46.66\00:39:51.13
DURING THOSE TIMES WHEN IT
BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD FOR US
00:39:51.13\00:39:55.46
BECAUSE OF THIS LITTLE HORN
POWER, THAT THERE IS AN END TO
00:39:55.46\00:39:59.60
IT AND THERE WILL BE RELIEF.
THINK BACK TO A TIME IN YOUR
00:39:59.60\00:40:04.03
LIFE WHEN SOMETHING WAS TERRIBLE
GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE - YOU
00:40:04.03\00:40:07.63
COULDN'T HARDLY DO ANYTHING BUT
THINK ABOUT IT DAY AND NIGHT.
00:40:07.63\00:40:12.10
SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING WAS JUST
PRESSING ON YOU AND LIFE WAS
00:40:12.10\00:40:15.46
HORRIBLE AND FINALLY THAT WHOLE
PROBLEM - WHATEVER IT WAS -
00:40:15.46\00:40:20.46
WAS RESOLVED. YOU
CAN REMEMBER BACK HOW
00:40:20.46\00:40:22.83
RELIEVED YOU WERE, RIGHT?
THAT'S JUST A SMALL MINUTE
00:40:22.83\00:40:29.06
COMPARISON TO THE RELIEF THAT'S
GOING TO COME TO GOD'S PEOPLE
00:40:29.06\00:40:32.63
AFTER THE HORN POWER IS
DESTROYED ONCE AND FOR ALL.
00:40:32.63\00:40:36.46
AMEN. YOU'LL REMEMBER THIS
PART OF THE LESSON, I HOPE.
00:40:36.46\00:40:40.73
TUCK IT IN YOUR MIND
WHEN WE'RE GOING THROUGH THAT.
00:40:40.73\00:40:43.83
WE'LL NEED IT, I'M SURE.
00:40:43.83\00:40:45.63
THE FOURTH RESULT LISTED
ON WEDNESDAY IS 'THE ABSOLUTE
00:40:45.63\00:40:48.10
JUSTICE OF GOD IS DEMONSTRATED.'
WHEN THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT IS
00:40:48.10\00:40:52.93
OVER AND JESUS RETURNS TO THIS
EARTH, EVEN THE WICKED WILL BOW
00:40:52.93\00:40:56.36
THEIR KNEES RECOGNIZING GOD
AS BEING JUST. IS THAT TRUE?
00:40:56.36\00:41:02.76
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD
WILL BRING HIS REWARD WITH HIM.
00:41:02.76\00:41:05.60
HE HANDS OUT SALVATION TO THOSE
WHO PUT THEIR FULL TRUST IN THEM
00:41:05.60\00:41:08.70
AND THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WILL
RECEIVE THEIR JUST REWARDS,
00:41:08.70\00:41:12.80
WHICH WILL BE JUST THE OPPOSITE.
NONE WILL MISS WHAT IS HAPPENING
00:41:12.80\00:41:19.33
WHEN THAT TRANSFORMATION
TAKES PLACE - IN THE TWINKLING
00:41:19.33\00:41:22.13
OF AN EYE WHEN YOU ARE CHANGED
SO DRAMATICALLY NOBODY WILL MISS
00:41:22.13\00:41:25.93
WHAT'S GOING ON. THEY'LL KNOW.
AND YET, FOR THE REDEEMED, THERE
00:41:25.93\00:41:29.66
MUST BE AN INTENSE
AMOUNT OF EMOTIONS AT THIS TIME.
00:41:29.66\00:41:39.53
AMAZEMENT THAT WE'RE IN THE
PRESENCE OF GOD, BUT AT THE SAME
00:41:39.53\00:41:43.20
TIME THERE ARE LOVED ONES - SOME
OF OUR LOVED ONES THAT ARE NOT
00:41:43.20\00:41:49.00
OVERJOYED AND THEY'RE GOING TO
BE DESTROYED - THEY'RE GOING TO
00:41:49.00\00:41:52.10
BE DESTROYED AND IT'S GOING
TO BE A TIME OF MIXED EMOTIONS.
00:41:52.10\00:41:56.00
YES, THE END OF THE PRE-ADVENT
JUDGMENT BRINGS PERFECT JUSTICE,
00:41:56.00\00:42:00.26
BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE A
THOUSAND YEARS FOR GOD'S PEOPLE
00:42:00.26\00:42:04.00
IN HEAVEN TO LOOK OVER THE
BOOKS FOR THIS JUSTICE TO BE
00:42:04.00\00:42:08.36
COMPLETELY CONFIRMED. AS
EVERYBODY GETS A CHANCE TO
00:42:08.36\00:42:12.36
SEE WHY GOD HAS TO DESTROY
OR HOW THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE
00:42:12.36\00:42:16.96
DESTROYED BECAUSE OF THE CHOICES
THEY'VE MADE WHEN EVERYTHING WAS
00:42:16.96\00:42:20.36
DONE IN THEIR
BEHALF BY A LOVING GOD.
00:42:20.36\00:42:24.60
AND AFTER - ONLY AFTER THE
THOUSAND YEARS - ONLY AFTER THE
00:42:24.60\00:42:28.90
THOUSAND YEARS WILL GOD WIPE
AWAY ALL TEARS FROM EVERYBODY'S
00:42:28.90\00:42:32.23
EYES. THAT'S
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:42:32.23\00:42:36.13
SO YES, IT'S GOING TO BE A TIME
OF INTENSE EMOTIONS, BUT THAT
00:42:36.13\00:42:41.23
RECOGNITION OF JUSTICE WILL BE
REINFORCED DURING THIS THOUSAND
00:42:41.23\00:42:47.23
YEARS AS THE SAINTS
GET TO REVIEW THE BOOKS.
00:42:47.23\00:42:50.46
NOW THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR
YOU TODAY: DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE
00:42:50.46\00:42:55.03
FACT THAT GOD IS PERFECTLY
JUST AND PERFECTLY MERCIFUL?
00:42:55.03\00:43:00.20
DO YOU KNOW THAT BY FAITH NOW?
ALLOW ME TO READ THAT QUOTATION
00:43:00.20\00:43:05.90
FROM THAT GREAT BOOK ENTITLED
'THE GREAT CONTROVERSY' - IT WAS
00:43:05.90\00:43:09.36
THERE IN YOUR LESSON
AT THE BOTTOM WEDNESDAY.
00:43:09.36\00:43:11.23
IT SAYS, 'THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY IS ENDED.
00:43:11.23\00:43:13.76
SIN AND SINNERS ARE NO MORE.
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS CLEAN.
00:43:13.76\00:43:19.86
ONE PULSE OF HARMONY AND
GLADNESS BEATS THROUGH THE VAST
00:43:19.86\00:43:23.00
CREATION. FROM HIM
WHO CREATED ALL FLOWS
00:43:23.00\00:43:26.66
LIFE AND LIGHT AND GLADNESS
THROUGHOUT THE REALMS OF THE
00:43:26.66\00:43:29.36
UNLIMITABLE SPACE. FROM
THE MINUTEST ATOM TO THE
00:43:29.36\00:43:32.50
GREATEST WORLD, ALL THINGS
ANIMATE AND INANIMATE IN THEIR
00:43:32.50\00:43:37.60
UNSHADOWED BEAUTY AND PERFECT
JOY DECLARE THAT GOD IS' -
00:43:37.60\00:43:42.36
WHAT? 'LOVE.' ARE
THERE TIMES THAT YOU
00:43:42.36\00:43:45.70
QUESTION ABOUT GOD BEING LOVE?
SURE, EVERYBODY HAS QUESTIONED -
00:43:45.70\00:43:49.86
EVERYBODY HAS TIMES OF - MOMENTS
OF DOUBT, DESPAIR, HARD TIMES.
00:43:49.86\00:43:57.76
BUT IMAGINE A TIME WHEN NOTHING
LIKE THAT AT ALL - NOTHING SO
00:43:57.76\00:44:01.30
REMOTE AS THAT WILL
EVER TAKE PLACE AGAIN.
00:44:01.30\00:44:04.50
JUST THINK OF IT: WE ARE, RIGHT
NOW, IN THE MIDDLE - PROBABLY
00:44:04.50\00:44:09.00
NOT IN THE MIDDLE, PROBABLY
CLOSER TO THE END OF THE
00:44:09.00\00:44:12.00
PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU LOOK
00:44:12.00\00:44:14.93
FORWARD TO A HUNDRED YEARS FROM
NOW OR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS FROM
00:44:14.93\00:44:17.83
NOW, AS PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE
BOOK - TWO THOUSAND YEARS FROM
00:44:17.83\00:44:22.53
NOW. NO, IT'S HERE NOW.
WE'RE ALMOST AT THE END OF IT.
00:44:22.53\00:44:28.03
OUR NAMES MAY BE
COMING UP TODAY. IMAGINE THAT.
00:44:28.03\00:44:34.73
WE'RE ALMOST CONCLUDED
WITH THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT.
00:44:34.73\00:44:38.30
DO YOU REALIZE HOW
HAPPY WE SHOULD BE?
00:44:38.30\00:44:40.66
IT'S NOT JUST A BUNCH OF DRY
FACTS, THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT.
00:44:40.66\00:44:44.80
WE'RE AT THE VERY, VERY
END OF THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT.
00:44:44.80\00:44:50.70
WOW, IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER
150 YEARS SO WE KNOW IT WON'T BE
00:44:50.70\00:44:58.36
DELAYED FOREVER.
THURSDAY IS ENTITLED
00:44:58.36\00:45:02.16
'RESPONSIBLE ASSURANCE'.
PSALMS 96:11-13 IS GIVEN FOR US
00:45:02.16\00:45:07.06
TO READ WHERE IT SAYS THIS: "LET
THE HEAVENS REJOICE, AND LET THE
00:45:07.06\00:45:11.66
EARTH BE GLAD; LET THE SEA
ROAR, AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF.
00:45:11.66\00:45:14.96
LET THE FIELD BE JOYFUL, AND ALL
THAT IS THEREIN: THEN SHALL ALL
00:45:14.96\00:45:19.26
THE TREES OF THE WOOD REJOICE
BEFORE THE LORD: FOR HE COMETH,
00:45:19.26\00:45:23.60
FOR HE COMETH TO JUDGE THE
EARTH: HE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD
00:45:23.60\00:45:27.36
WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
THE PEOPLE WITH HIS TRUTH."
00:45:27.36\00:45:32.50
THE REASON ALL CREATION CAN
REJOICE IS THE FACT THAT GOD
00:45:32.50\00:45:36.60
JUDGES THE EARTH - THE WORLD
- AS HE DOES AND HE DOES IT WITH
00:45:36.60\00:45:41.40
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
TRUTH. IS THAT GOOD NEWS?
00:45:41.40\00:45:45.10
WELL, IT DEPENDS. YOU
OFTEN HEAR PEOPLE SAY THINGS
00:45:45.10\00:45:49.80
LIKE THIS: 'I CAN'T
WAIT FOR MY DAY IN COURT.
00:45:49.80\00:45:54.20
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR MY DAY IN COURT
00:45:54.20\00:46:01.06
SO ALL THE FACTS CAN COME
OUT AND I WILL BE VINDICATED.'
00:46:01.06\00:46:04.20
YOU EVER HEAR
PEOPLE LIKE THAT? SURE.
00:46:04.20\00:46:06.46
NOW IN ONE SENSE THAT SHOULD BE
OUR ATTITUDE - NOT THAT WE CAN
00:46:06.46\00:46:08.80
GO TO COURT AND SAY WE'RE
INNOCENT, BUT THAT WE CAN GO TO
00:46:08.80\00:46:12.20
COURT AND IT WILL BE CLEAR
ONCE AND FOR ALL FOR ALL THE
00:46:12.20\00:46:15.13
INHABITANTS OF THE UNIVERSE THAT
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN MERCY BY THE
00:46:15.13\00:46:18.86
GREAT SUBSTITUTE
FOR OUR SINFULNESS.
00:46:18.86\00:46:24.06
THAT'S WHAT THE JUDGMENT
IS ALL ABOUT, IN ONE SENSE.
00:46:24.06\00:46:30.03
TOURSELVES, WE WILL END UP BEING
VINDICATED SIMPLY BECAUSE WE
00:46:30.03\00:46:35.26
MADE THE BEST CHOICE IN ALL
THE WORLD: JESUS IS MY SAVIOR.
00:46:35.26\00:46:39.06
THIS IS OUR DAY IN COURT.
00:46:39.06\00:46:40.83
ARE WE - ARE YOU
WELL REPRESENTED?
00:46:40.83\00:46:43.36
DOES THE SAVIOR OF
MANKIND STAND IN YOUR DEFENSE?
00:46:43.36\00:46:47.90
IF SO, THEN BY ALL MEANS YOU
CAN SAY, LIKE THE LESSON SAYS,
00:46:47.90\00:46:52.90
'JUDGE ME, O LORD.'
JUDGE ME AND YOU'LL FIND ME
00:46:52.90\00:46:57.73
GUILTY BUT YOU'LL ALSO FIND ME
HAVING ON THE ROBE OF CHRIST'S
00:46:57.73\00:47:01.90
RIGHTEOUSNESS. AMEN. THE
OUTCOME OF THE JUDGMENT HAS
00:47:01.90\00:47:06.70
ALREADY BEEN
DECIDED, AS WE SAID.
00:47:06.70\00:47:08.50
JUDGMENT IS IN
FAVOR OF THE SAINTS.
00:47:08.50\00:47:10.80
AND WHY CAN WE ASSUME
THE ROLE OF BEING A SAINT?
00:47:10.80\00:47:15.03
WELL, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT
WE DO BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS
00:47:15.03\00:47:17.53
HAS DONE FOR US. THE
JUDGMENT IS GOD FINALIZING
00:47:17.53\00:47:22.63
OUR CHOICE.
THINK OF IT THAT WAY.
00:47:22.63\00:47:25.66
THE JUDGMENT IS GOD FINALIZING
OUR CHOICE AND SEALING IT -
00:47:25.66\00:47:31.90
SEALING IT ONCE
AND FOR ALL FOREVER.
00:47:31.90\00:47:34.83
SO ANOTHER IMPORTANT QUESTION
IN ALL THIS IS, IF OUR CHOICE IS
00:47:34.83\00:47:38.30
FOR CHRIST TO STAND FOR US IN
THE JUDGMENT, WHAT MUST WE DO?
00:47:38.30\00:47:42.96
IS THERE ANY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR US? WELL, SURE THERE IS.
00:47:42.96\00:47:47.90
AND PROBABLY THERE ISN'T A
BETTER EXAMPLE THAN THE OLD
00:47:47.90\00:47:51.36
TRIED AND TRUE EXAMPLE OF
SOMEBODY GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY
00:47:51.36\00:47:55.36
AND PULLED OVER BY THE PATROLMAN
FOR SPEEDING AND YOU GO OFF TO
00:47:55.36\00:48:01.30
COURT AND THE JUDGE JUST HAPPENS
TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD THAT DAY
00:48:01.30\00:48:06.80
AND YOU JUST HAPPEN TO TAKE
A LIKING - HE TAKES A LIKING TO
00:48:06.80\00:48:10.70
YOU AND HE SAYS, 'YOU
KNOW WHAT? I FEEL GOOD TODAY.
00:48:10.70\00:48:14.10
I'M GOING TO GRANT YOU MERCY
AND I'M NOT GOING TO CHARGE YOU
00:48:14.10\00:48:17.60
ANYTHING FOR THIS
TICKET. YOU'RE FREE - GO.'
00:48:17.60\00:48:21.63
WELL, WHAT DOES THAT
FREEDOM BRING TO YOU?
00:48:21.63\00:48:27.86
DOES IT BRING THE FREEDOM TO GO
OUT AND DRIVE A HUNDRED MILES AN
00:48:27.86\00:48:32.50
HOUR AGAIN IN A
SIXTY MILE AN HOUR ZONE?
00:48:32.50\00:48:35.76
WELL, YOU HAVE THAT FREEDOM BUT
HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU GO BACK
00:48:35.76\00:48:40.20
TO COURT AND THE JUDGE IS GOING
TO SAY, 'WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU
00:48:40.20\00:48:42.50
MERCY ANOTHER TIME AND
ANOTHER TIME AND ANOTHER TIME.'
00:48:42.50\00:48:45.66
NO, BEING PARDONED BY CHRIST
- BEING REPRESENTED BY CHRIST IN
00:48:45.66\00:48:58.93
GO OUT AND LIVE AS HE
ASKS US TO THAT WE HALIVE.
00:48:58.93\00:49:01.80
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WE
DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT ON OUR OWN
00:49:01.80\00:49:05.53
POWER. IN FACT, WE
CAN'T. WE CAN'T DO IT.
00:49:05.53\00:49:10.16
SO YES, KNOWING HOW YOU STAND ON
THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE JUDGMENT
00:49:10.16\00:49:14.36
SHOULD AFFECT OUR LIFESTYLES,
BUT I HAVE A SUSPICION - I HAVE
00:49:14.36\00:49:19.63
A SUSPICION THAT MOST OF US
WRESTLE WITH DOUBT AS TO WHERE
00:49:19.63\00:49:23.80
WE STAND IN THE PRE-ADVENT
JUDGMENT - SOME OF US.
00:49:23.80\00:49:27.60
WE CAN UNDERSTAND ALL THE
FACTS THAT THERE ARE ABOUT THIS
00:49:27.60\00:49:30.36
JUDGMENT AND, BOY THERE'S A LOT
OF GOOD THINGS TO FOCUS ON - A
00:49:30.36\00:49:33.60
LOT OF EXCITING THINGS, BUT
WE ALSO KNOW THAT HAVING THIS
00:49:33.60\00:49:37.90
ASSURANCE SHOULD LEAD TO A
HOLIER LIFE AND THAT'S WHERE THE
00:49:37.90\00:49:43.50
RUB COMES. WHILE
WE MAY BE DOING SOME
00:49:43.50\00:49:47.23
THINGS BETTER THAN WE DID WHEN
WE FIRST CAME TO CHRIST, WE KNOW
00:49:47.23\00:49:51.96
WE'RE NOT DOING
EVERYTHING RIGHT YET.
00:49:51.96\00:49:55.10
WE'RE STILL FALLING SHORT AND SO
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RELATE TO
00:49:55.10\00:49:59.80
THIS PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT?
AND I THINK MAYBE IT'S HELPFUL
00:49:59.80\00:50:04.63
FOR US TO STEP BACK FOR JUST
A MOMENT AND TAKE A BROADER LOOK
00:50:04.63\00:50:08.83
AT THIS AND MAYBE LOOKING TO
BIBLE EXAMPLES WILL BE HELPFUL
00:50:08.83\00:50:14.03
LIKEWISE. ARE
THERE EXAMPLES OF ANY
00:50:14.03\00:50:17.86
PERFECT PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE?
ONE AND THAT'S JESUS, RIGHT?
00:50:17.86\00:50:23.63
THERE ARE NO EXAMPLES OTHER THAN
JESUS. EVERYBODY ELSE SINNED.
00:50:23.63\00:50:29.23
NOW, DO WE HAVE THE ASSURANCE
FROM THE BIBLE THAT MANY OF
00:50:29.23\00:50:33.66
THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SINNED
ARE GOING TO BE SAVED IN GOD'S
00:50:33.66\00:50:37.70
KINGDOM? YES, WE
HAVE THAT ASSURANCE.
00:50:37.70\00:50:40.40
I MEAN, THINK OF IT, EVEN DAVID,
A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART -
00:50:40.40\00:50:43.86
DID HE REALLY FOUL UP BIG TIME?
HE EVEN FOULED UP BIG TIME IN
00:50:43.86\00:50:48.70
THE VERY LAST YEARS OF HIS LIFE
BY BECOMING SO PROUD HE NUMBERED
00:50:48.70\00:50:53.86
ISRAEL AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF HIS SIN.
00:50:53.86\00:51:02.93
SO HOW DO YOU - HOW
DO YOU BALANCE ALL THIS?
00:51:02.93\00:51:09.76
DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER GOD'S
OWN HEART. THAT IS, WHEN IT CAME
00:51:09.76\00:51:13.96
TO HIM, HE REPENTED SINCERELY.
HE TRULY REPENTED OF HIS SINS
00:51:13.96\00:51:20.83
AND GOD ACCEPTED HIS REPENTANCE.
AND SO, HIS OVERALL LIFE WAS ONE
00:51:20.83\00:51:26.03
OF FOLLOWING GOD.
FALLING - GETTING UP AND
00:51:26.03\00:51:29.10
FOLLOWING GOD -
MAYBE FALLING AGAIN EVEN AT
00:51:29.10\00:51:31.60
THE END OF HIS LIFE, BUT GETTING
UP AND REPENTING OF HIS SINS AND
00:51:31.60\00:51:36.53
GOING ON TO FINISH THE WORK THAT
GOD HAD GIVEN TO HIM AND THERE
00:51:36.53\00:51:41.40
IS LAID UP FOR HIM A
CROWN IN THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM.
00:51:41.40\00:51:46.63
SO SOMETIMES I THINK EVEN THOUGH
DAVID ISN'T OUR - HE ISN'T OUR
00:51:46.63\00:51:50.86
EXAMPLE THAT WE KEEP OUR EYES
FOCUSED UPON - JESUS IS OUR ONLY
00:51:50.86\00:51:55.30
EXAMPLE - BUT THESE ARE EARTHLY
EXAMPLES THAT GIVE US A BROAD
00:51:55.30\00:51:59.40
CONCEPT OF THE WALK OF THE
CHRISTIAN LIFE - IS IF YOU SIN,
00:51:59.40\00:52:04.70
GET UP AND REPENT OF THOSE SINS
AND KEEP GOING AND THERE IS LAID
00:52:04.70\00:52:11.16
UP FOR YOU A CROWN
IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN.
00:52:11.16\00:52:17.43
NOW, WHEREAS ON THIS
TOPIC, WE WANT TO GIVE ALL THE
00:52:17.43\00:52:20.16
ENCOURAGEMENT THAT WE POSSIBLY
CAN BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE
00:52:20.16\00:52:24.13
- HAVE ANYBODY BE AFRAID OF
THE JUDGMENT SO WE WANT TO GIVE
00:52:24.13\00:52:27.16
EVERYBODY AS MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT
AS WE CAN WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL
00:52:27.16\00:52:31.76
FACTS. BUT WE ALSO NEED TO
BE VERY HONEST WITH OURSELVES.
00:52:31.76\00:52:36.93
THE PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT
IS A VERY SERIOUS THING.
00:52:36.93\00:52:42.06
IT IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH
- NO, IT IS A MATTER OF ETERNAL
00:52:42.06\00:52:47.06
LIFE AND DEATH. THAT
WHICH IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW
00:52:47.06\00:52:51.10
IS A MATTER OF ETERNAL LIFE
AND DEATH AND SO WE BETTER BE AS
00:52:51.10\00:52:54.33
SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT IS GOING
ON RIGHT NOW AS THE CHILDREN OF
00:52:54.33\00:52:58.53
ISRAEL WERE SERIOUS ABOUT
IT ON THAT DAY OF ATONEMENT.
00:52:58.53\00:53:02.16
AND YOU SAY, 'WELL
THAT'S NOT FAIR, IT WAS ONE DAY.
00:53:02.16\00:53:04.66
OURS HAS BEEN GOING
ON FOR OVER 150 YEARS.
00:53:04.66\00:53:08.83
WELL, IT WASN'T JUST ONE DAY FOR
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, THEY HAD
00:53:08.83\00:53:12.56
TO CONFESS THEIR
SINS ALL YEAR LONG.
00:53:12.56\00:53:15.86
THE JUDGMENT WAS JUST THE FINAL
PHASE OF SEEING WHETHER THEIR
00:53:15.86\00:53:19.63
SINS WOULD BE COMPLETELY BLOTTED
OUT AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
00:53:19.63\00:53:22.93
WE SIN, WE CONFESS OUR SINS
AND NOW, IN THESE LAST DAYS, THE
00:53:22.93\00:53:27.86
SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN
IS GOING TO BE CLEANSED.
00:53:27.86\00:53:31.30
THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY IS
CLEANSED FROM ALL THE SINS OF
00:53:31.30\00:53:34.50
ALL OF GOD'S PEOPLE AND WE STAND
AS IF WE HAD NEVER SINNED ONCE
00:53:34.50\00:53:40.30
WE HAVE ACCEPTED
CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR.
00:53:40.30\00:53:44.76
SO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AMAZING
TEACHING - BIBLICAL TEACHING -
00:53:44.76\00:53:52.36
IN THE BROAD CONCEPT OF WHAT
IS TAKING PLACE AND WE WILL FIND
00:53:52.36\00:53:58.63
THAT - I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WITH
A DEATH-BED EXPERIENCE KIND OF
00:53:58.63\00:54:04.46
ATTITUDE BACK IN ISRAEL, 'WELL,
I'LL WAIT UNTIL THE DAY OF
00:54:04.46\00:54:09.56
ATONEMENT AND THEN
I'LL REALLY GET SERIOUS.'
00:54:09.56\00:54:11.60
I DON'T THINK IT WORKED THAT
WAY NOR DO I THINK IT'S GOING TO
00:54:11.60\00:54:15.46
WORK THAT WAY FOR US.
'WELL, I THINK IT'S ALMOST TIME
00:54:15.46\00:54:18.23
FOR MY NAME TO COME UP SO I'M
GOING TO GET SERIOUS RIGHT AT
00:54:18.23\00:54:20.13
THE END WHEN I SEE ALL THESE
LAWS BEING PASSED' AND SO ON AND
00:54:20.13\00:54:22.36
SO FORTH. IT'S NOT
GOING TO WORK THAT WAY.
00:54:22.36\00:54:25.06
THERE HAS TO BE A
TREND OF ONE PERSON'S LIFE.
00:54:25.06\00:54:29.10
AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T - I
KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE PEOPLE
00:54:29.10\00:54:31.93

HOUR - AND PRAISE GOD FOR THEM,
00:54:31.93\00:54:35.70
