Well I want to
welcome all of you
00:00:19.07\00:00:20.76
to the 3ABN Worship Center
00:00:20.96\00:00:22.73
as we close out this beautiful
00:00:22.76\00:00:24.79
Sabbath day. Hasn't this
been a wonderful Sabbath?
00:00:24.89\00:00:27.67
We started out this
morning with Pastor Cox
00:00:27.87\00:00:30.67
as he continued in the
series on Give Me The Bible
00:00:30.87\00:00:33.86
as we looked at
those books in judgment.
00:00:34.06\00:00:36.63
And that was just
such an enlightening to me.
00:00:36.83\00:00:39.36
I had just never
seen some of those aspects
00:00:39.56\00:00:42.31
of the judgment.
00:00:42.41\00:00:43.48
And tonight we're going to
continue in this... the topic -
00:00:43.51\00:00:47.37
this eighth topic - on judgment.
00:00:47.57\00:00:50.39
But you know, I was
thinking a little earlier...
00:00:50.59\00:00:53.51
Pastor Cox and how
well he does the delivery
00:00:53.71\00:00:57.79
and how easily it's understood.
00:00:57.99\00:00:59.83
And we have a
gentleman that works with us
00:01:00.03\00:01:02.67
whose name is Ben Burkhamer.
He works in production...
00:01:02.87\00:01:05.66
and his father is a
pastor at a Seventh-day Baptist.
00:01:05.86\00:01:09.90
And he uses
series by Pastor Cox,
00:01:10.10\00:01:12.93
and he has a
terminology that he uses.
00:01:13.13\00:01:16.75
And this is a
very good terminology.
00:01:16.95\00:01:19.28
I don't want you to
think it's negative.
00:01:19.49\00:01:21.02
He calls Pastor
Cox a cornbread pastor.
00:01:21.22\00:01:23.96
Cornbread teacher, and you
know what he means by that?
00:01:24.16\00:01:27.07
He's so simple; so
easy to understand.
00:01:27.27\00:01:31.36
You don't go away
scratching your head
00:01:31.56\00:01:33.97
saying "I wonder
what he meant by that. "
00:01:34.17\00:01:36.25
You go away
having learned something.
00:01:36.45\00:01:38.98
And you know, tonight we
have a couple visiting with us
00:01:39.18\00:01:42.31
from Christopher - the Flowers -
00:01:42.41\00:01:44.46
and they're members of
Pastor Burkhamer's church.
00:01:44.66\00:01:48.37
So we certainly do welcome them.
00:01:48.57\00:01:50.25
And we want to welcome
you from all around the world.
00:01:50.45\00:01:53.64
You know we have
people viewing us
00:01:53.85\00:01:55.70
on every inhabited continent.
00:01:55.91\00:01:57.84
Isn't that just an incredible
thing that technology can do:
00:01:58.04\00:02:01.65
take this message
all over the world
00:02:01.85\00:02:04.59
as God truly is
bringing light to everyone.
00:02:04.79\00:02:08.85
Well, we're continuing tonight
in this topic of the judgment,
00:02:09.05\00:02:13.24
and we're looking at
Judgment During the Millennium.
00:02:13.44\00:02:16.96
So I know... I want us
to all open our hearts.
00:02:17.16\00:02:19.77
Allow God to speak. How
many of you would like God
00:02:19.97\00:02:23.44
to speak new truth
into your heart today?
00:02:23.64\00:02:26.06
To pick us up and
draw us closer to Him?
00:02:26.16\00:02:28.58
Well I'm going to
ask Kateena LeForge...
00:02:28.78\00:02:31.80
Haven't we been so blessed
by the ministry of Kateena?
00:02:32.00\00:02:35.93
She ministers so
beautifully and so easily.
00:02:36.13\00:02:38.72
Kateena, it's always
a joy to have you here.
00:02:38.92\00:02:41.17
And you're going to
minister a beautiful song:
00:02:41.37\00:02:43.82
My God Will Always Be Enough.
00:02:44.02\00:02:46.25
It's a song I've sung
here on 3ABN many times
00:02:46.28\00:02:48.77
and I always get a
great response to it.
00:02:48.97\00:02:51.09
It really ministers to
the hearts of God's people.
00:02:51.29\00:02:54.26
He is enough.
00:02:54.46\00:02:56.77
I felt the ache
00:03:10.00\00:03:13.81
of emptiness
00:03:14.01\00:03:17.11
this world could not relieve.
00:03:17.31\00:03:22.52
My heart has lived
00:03:22.82\00:03:26.15
in poverty
00:03:26.35\00:03:29.04
that no one else could see.
00:03:29.25\00:03:34.32
Until I heard the sweet
00:03:35.50\00:03:39.61
restoring stream
00:03:39.81\00:03:43.17
that changed my life.
00:03:43.37\00:03:47.88
He called to me
00:03:48.08\00:03:50.79
"Come and drink"
00:03:50.99\00:03:54.39
and my need was satisfied.
00:03:54.60\00:04:00.42
My God will always be
00:04:01.70\00:04:06.87
enough
00:04:07.07\00:04:09.08
for the longings of my soul.
00:04:09.28\00:04:14.83
He alone can fill my cup
00:04:15.13\00:04:20.80
till my spirit
00:04:21.10\00:04:24.79
overflows.
00:04:24.99\00:04:28.06
From a well of living water
00:04:28.75\00:04:34.45
He renews me
00:04:34.65\00:04:36.76
with His love.
00:04:36.97\00:04:41.11
My God
00:04:41.41\00:04:43.83
will always be
00:04:44.13\00:04:48.08
enough.
00:04:48.38\00:04:52.34
Tomorrow I could rise to find
00:04:54.90\00:05:00.59
that everything has changed.
00:05:00.90\00:05:05.87
This way of faith
00:05:06.76\00:05:09.73
could take me to
00:05:10.03\00:05:12.86
some unexpected place.
00:05:13.16\00:05:18.06
But in all the
twists and turns of life
00:05:19.31\00:05:25.13
I'm sure of this one thing:
00:05:25.53\00:05:30.88
where the road
00:05:31.18\00:05:33.48
seems so uncertain
00:05:33.68\00:05:37.32
my God will go with me.
00:05:37.62\00:05:43.06
My God will always
00:05:44.84\00:05:49.28
be enough
00:05:49.38\00:05:52.19
for the longings of my soul.
00:05:52.49\00:05:57.90
He alone can fill my cup
00:05:58.82\00:06:03.91
till my spirit overflows.
00:06:05.01\00:06:10.72
From a well of living water
00:06:11.02\00:06:16.97
He renews me
00:06:17.27\00:06:19.83
with His love.
00:06:20.03\00:06:24.02
My God
00:06:24.32\00:06:26.58
will always be
00:06:26.88\00:06:30.29
enough.
00:06:30.59\00:06:35.43
Oh, from a well of living water
00:06:35.83\00:06:41.80
He renews me with
00:06:42.00\00:06:45.24
His love.
00:06:45.55\00:06:51.46
My God
00:06:52.88\00:06:57.77
will always be
00:06:58.67\00:07:03.19
enough.
00:07:04.29\00:07:10.27
Amen!
00:07:22.04\00:07:23.74
Thank you, Kateena.
Appreciate that very much.
00:07:24.04\00:07:26.66
Good evening to each of you.
00:07:26.96\00:07:28.66
Very happy to welcome
you. Those of you who are
00:07:29.52\00:07:32.11
enjoying this
tonight by television,
00:07:32.31\00:07:34.53
we welcome you.
00:07:34.73\00:07:35.80
Those that are
listening on radio,
00:07:36.00\00:07:37.89
happy that you're with us.
00:07:38.09\00:07:39.79
We hope that as we continue
00:07:39.89\00:07:41.97
to study what the Bible has
00:07:42.17\00:07:43.81
to say about the judgment
00:07:43.91\00:07:45.30
that it will help you
00:07:45.50\00:07:47.28
understand the
events that take place
00:07:47.48\00:07:49.85
particularly right
down here at the end.
00:07:50.05\00:07:53.10
Now we have been looking
at what we refer to as the
00:07:53.40\00:07:58.24
Investigative Judgment.
00:07:58.44\00:08:00.42
A judgment that the
scripture tells us is going on
00:08:00.72\00:08:03.91
up in heaven at
the present time.
00:08:04.11\00:08:06.19
And we found out in our study
that Christ is our Mediator.
00:08:06.49\00:08:11.56
He's the one that
stands between us and God.
00:08:11.76\00:08:15.38
And because of what He has done
00:08:15.58\00:08:18.54
you and I can be
counted as righteous.
00:08:18.74\00:08:22.69
Because of what He
did... not because of what we do
00:08:22.99\00:08:26.16
but because of
what He has done for us
00:08:26.36\00:08:28.93
we can be counted as righteous.
00:08:29.13\00:08:30.87
And so that
judgment we've looked at.
00:08:31.07\00:08:33.79
Tonight we're going to
move into the next judgment
00:08:34.09\00:08:38.18
entitled... excuse me, tonight,
and that is what is entitled:
00:08:38.41\00:08:43.82
And then tomorrow
night we will finish up
00:08:46.60\00:08:48.89
with what is known as the
00:08:49.09\00:08:50.41
That'll be the third one, so
we're looking at 3 judgments.
00:08:52.85\00:08:56.97
So you want to follow those
00:08:57.18\00:08:58.93
and understand how
they all fit together.
00:08:59.13\00:09:00.92
Tonight is the
Judgment During the Millennium.
00:09:01.22\00:09:04.37
What do you want to look for?
What do you want to see there?
00:09:04.57\00:09:08.58
Well, you want to see
who's involved in that judgment
00:09:08.78\00:09:12.81
and who is being
judged. Because we found out
00:09:13.02\00:09:16.71
that in the one
that's going on up in heaven
00:09:16.92\00:09:19.73
that the righteous - those
that are followers of Christ -
00:09:19.94\00:09:23.00
are the ones who are judged.
00:09:23.20\00:09:25.09
Because it says "judgment
begins with the house of God. "
00:09:25.29\00:09:28.32
So this judgment... we
need to see who's involved,
00:09:28.52\00:09:31.74
who all is doing the judging,
00:09:31.94\00:09:34.58
when it's taking place.
00:09:34.78\00:09:36.26
Those are things
that you want to look at.
00:09:36.47\00:09:38.87
And then this last
one we'll talk about,
00:09:39.17\00:09:41.24
the Great White Throne Judgment,
00:09:41.44\00:09:42.82
is what we would call the
executive part of the judgment.
00:09:43.02\00:09:47.22
And so we hope it will
help you put all those together
00:09:47.42\00:09:50.45
and you'll be blessed as
we study God's Word together.
00:09:50.65\00:09:53.93
So we're glad that you're here.
00:09:54.23\00:09:55.57
Thankful that you're here.
00:09:55.77\00:09:56.92
A song that has a message to it
00:09:58.18\00:10:01.95
that has touched the
hearts of men and women
00:10:02.15\00:10:05.44
for years. One that has always
00:10:05.64\00:10:09.95
come to the top as a
song that more people
00:10:10.15\00:10:15.26
enjoy and put to the
top than any other song -
00:10:15.29\00:10:19.37
religious song - and
that is The Old Rugged Cross.
00:10:19.58\00:10:24.22
On a hill far away
00:10:43.16\00:10:48.14
stood an old rugged cross,
00:10:48.54\00:10:53.20
The emblem of suffering
00:10:53.60\00:10:58.51
and shame;
00:10:58.71\00:11:02.22
And how I love that old cross
00:11:03.51\00:11:08.24
where the dearest and best
00:11:08.54\00:11:12.71
For a world of lost
00:11:13.01\00:11:16.40
sinners was slain.
00:11:16.60\00:11:21.88
So I'll cherish
00:11:22.64\00:11:25.63
the old rugged cross,
00:11:25.83\00:11:30.88
Till my trophies at last
00:11:31.62\00:11:36.30
I lay down;
00:11:36.60\00:11:40.26
I will cling
00:11:41.64\00:11:44.83
to the old rugged cross,
00:11:45.13\00:11:50.05
And exchange it some day
00:11:50.98\00:11:55.57
for a crown.
00:11:55.88\00:12:01.39
To the old rugged cross
00:12:05.55\00:12:10.03
I will ever be true,
00:12:10.34\00:12:15.08
Its shame and reproach
00:12:15.38\00:12:19.03
gladly bear;
00:12:19.33\00:12:23.60
Then He'll call me some day
00:12:24.38\00:12:28.60
to my home far away,
00:12:28.90\00:12:34.31
where His glory
00:12:34.61\00:12:36.96
forever
00:12:37.27\00:12:41.09
I'll share.
00:12:41.39\00:12:47.38
So I'll cherish
00:12:49.25\00:12:52.62
the old rugged cross,
00:12:52.82\00:12:58.19
Till my trophies at last
00:12:58.49\00:13:02.92
I lay down;
00:13:03.32\00:13:07.07
I will cling
00:13:07.90\00:13:10.92
to the old rugged cross,
00:13:11.02\00:13:16.00
and exchange it
00:13:16.31\00:13:19.54
some day for a crown...
00:13:19.74\00:13:25.65
and exchange it
00:13:28.12\00:13:32.75
some day
00:13:33.06\00:13:35.70
for a crown.
00:13:37.41\00:13:43.36
Heavenly Father,
00:14:14.93\00:14:16.30
As we look at the cross,
00:14:18.26\00:14:20.43
the sacrifice that
You made for each of us,
00:14:20.83\00:14:24.79
may our hearts respond.
00:14:25.80\00:14:29.31
May they be soft,
00:14:29.61\00:14:31.68
tender, receptive
00:14:31.98\00:14:35.62
to the word of Your Spirit.
00:14:35.82\00:14:37.96
Give us understanding tonight.
00:14:39.52\00:14:41.82
May we have clarity of mind.
00:14:42.12\00:14:47.06
May we see the great plan
00:14:47.56\00:14:53.53
that was put in place before
the foundations of this world
00:14:53.83\00:14:58.14
that each of us might be saved.
00:14:58.44\00:15:03.46
For this we pray in
Christ's name, Amen.
00:15:03.76\00:15:07.61
I'd kind of like to
begin tonight where we left off
00:15:13.67\00:15:18.21
the last presentation
00:15:18.42\00:15:20.35
because I think it will help us
00:15:20.55\00:15:23.06
put things in place.
00:15:23.16\00:15:24.67
Uh, you remember
00:15:24.87\00:15:27.24
we had talked about
the Investigative Judgment.
00:15:27.27\00:15:30.66
We talked about how the
books were used in the judgment.
00:15:30.73\00:15:33.51
And we found out that the thing
that made all the difference
00:15:33.71\00:15:37.22
in the world was the fact that
00:15:37.32\00:15:39.74
Christ was willing to
appear before His Father,
00:15:39.84\00:15:43.81
the Ancient of Days,
in your behalf and mine.
00:15:44.02\00:15:47.25
And so the text says here:
00:15:47.46\00:15:49.02
So here Christ is
coming in before His Father.
00:16:01.09\00:16:04.48
He's coming for the
purpose of interceding
00:16:04.68\00:16:09.39
for you and for me.
00:16:09.59\00:16:11.85
That gives us the opportunity
- the privilege, if you please -
00:16:12.05\00:16:16.90
to have Christ represent us.
00:16:17.10\00:16:21.15
And it says that if
we have accepted Christ,
00:16:21.35\00:16:25.80
given our lives to Him,
00:16:26.00\00:16:28.65
that we have passed
from death unto life
00:16:28.85\00:16:32.72
and we will not
come into judgment.
00:16:32.92\00:16:36.08
Now folks, that just
simply means that Christ
00:16:36.28\00:16:39.93
stands in your place.
00:16:40.13\00:16:43.06
That's what it means:
He stands in your place
00:16:43.36\00:16:46.51
and He represents you.
00:16:46.71\00:16:48.99
And if Christ is your
Mediator, your Intercessor,
00:16:49.19\00:16:54.68
if He accepts your case and if
your name is in the Book of Life
00:16:54.89\00:16:58.98
that gives Him the
opportunity to represent you,
00:16:59.18\00:17:03.25
then you can't lose.
00:17:03.46\00:17:05.51
OK? And because of
that the scripture says:
00:17:05.71\00:17:09.18
Because of Christ...
because of what He has done,
00:17:17.75\00:17:21.82
therefore a judgment is
made in favor of you and me.
00:17:22.02\00:17:27.27
Marvelous! We can have hope,
00:17:27.67\00:17:31.75
we can have life eternal
because of what Christ has done.
00:17:31.95\00:17:34.72
It's at this point that I want
to deal with tonight's subject.
00:17:34.92\00:17:39.06
And it says:
00:17:39.16\00:17:40.21
Now I hope you're
beginning to put things together
00:17:46.57\00:17:48.96
because we talked
about the judgment.
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.46
We found out how in
Daniel the 9th chapter
00:17:51.66\00:17:54.13
it outlines the
time step by step
00:17:54.33\00:17:57.47
and how the
judgment began in 1844 AD.
00:17:57.67\00:18:01.58
This text is saying that
when the judgment is over
00:18:01.79\00:18:05.88
what happens?
00:18:06.18\00:18:08.91
Well the time has come for the
saints to possess the kingdom.
00:18:09.21\00:18:13.15
That's what happens.
00:18:13.35\00:18:14.88
And dear friend, there's no
way we can be far from that.
00:18:15.08\00:18:19.90
No way... we
can't be far from that.
00:18:20.30\00:18:22.78
It's going to happen soon.
00:18:22.98\00:18:24.48
And Jesus - who
represents you and represents me
00:18:24.68\00:18:28.84
as our Mediator - if you
please, as our High Priest -
00:18:29.04\00:18:34.41
OK? is going to take
off His robes as the Priest
00:18:34.61\00:18:40.48
and He's going to put
on His robes as the King...
00:18:40.51\00:18:44.62
King of Kings... and when
He does that He's going to say
00:18:44.82\00:18:49.79
these words:
00:18:49.99\00:18:51.81
In other words, "It's over! "
00:19:09.30\00:19:12.46
He is stepping out of
the position as a Mediator,
00:19:12.76\00:19:18.67
as a Representative,
and He's coming back
00:19:18.87\00:19:22.19
as the King of Kings
and the Lord of Lords...
00:19:22.40\00:19:25.49
and therefore
probation has closed
00:19:25.69\00:19:30.21
for mankind.
00:19:30.41\00:19:33.40
Probation has
closed for mankind.
00:19:33.60\00:19:37.10
That's what it's saying.
00:19:37.30\00:19:38.62
He that's unjust, let
him continue to be unjust.
00:19:38.82\00:19:41.91
It has ceased.
00:19:42.11\00:19:43.15
I want to make
one point very clear.
00:19:43.35\00:19:45.60
Let's say your name
comes up in the judgment
00:19:46.82\00:19:50.47
and you are found lost.
00:19:52.32\00:19:55.19
OK? Does that mean
there's no hope for you?
00:19:55.39\00:20:00.20
No, that does not mean that.
00:20:01.44\00:20:03.10
I find some
people that teach that.
00:20:03.20\00:20:05.82
No, let me tell you something:
00:20:06.03\00:20:07.42
as long as the
door of mercy is open
00:20:07.62\00:20:11.71
there is hope for anybody.
00:20:11.91\00:20:15.10
And some people say:
"Well, if you're found lost
00:20:15.30\00:20:18.25
at that time, is there any
way you can come back to God? "
00:20:18.45\00:20:21.79
Let me tell you something:
00:20:22.00\00:20:23.78
if God was willing
to accept Manasseh,
00:20:23.98\00:20:26.95
if you know who Manasseh
was - the king of Israel -
00:20:27.15\00:20:29.45
if He was willing
to accept him back,
00:20:29.65\00:20:31.67
He'll accept anybody. OK?
00:20:31.87\00:20:35.03
So as long as the
door of mercy is open,
00:20:35.23\00:20:38.73
yes, you and I can come to
the Lord and He will accept us.
00:20:38.93\00:20:43.96
But when He stands up
and in the scripture says
00:20:43.99\00:20:47.33
He says: "It is done, "
00:20:47.53\00:20:49.04
and He throws down the censer,
00:20:49.24\00:20:51.51
it's closed.
00:20:51.71\00:20:53.13
That's it. And when it closes
00:20:53.33\00:20:56.25
this is what's going to happen:
00:20:56.45\00:20:58.25
Every case of every person
who has followed Jesus Christ
00:21:09.60\00:21:14.90
is settled.
00:21:15.10\00:21:18.34
That's it.
00:21:18.64\00:21:19.93
It's settled.
00:21:20.13\00:21:21.29
And when Jesus comes,
00:21:21.59\00:21:24.00
there's four
things that take place.
00:21:24.20\00:21:27.27
Four things that begin to happen
00:21:27.47\00:21:30.36
that you and I
need to understand
00:21:30.56\00:21:32.54
in order to
understand what's going on
00:21:32.74\00:21:35.07
in this judgment
that's going to take place
00:21:35.28\00:21:37.86
during the thousand years.
00:21:37.89\00:21:39.76
One of those events is
00:21:39.97\00:21:41.56
the righteous are
going to be resurrected.
00:21:41.76\00:21:44.17
All the righteous
that have ever lived
00:21:44.37\00:21:48.06
since the beginning of time
00:21:48.26\00:21:50.17
are going to come
forth from the grave.
00:21:50.37\00:21:53.12
That'll be a marvelous time.
00:21:53.32\00:21:55.44
You know, a
wonderful time. It says:
00:21:55.64\00:21:59.10
So all those
people who in faith died,
00:22:10.21\00:22:14.40
they're going to
come up out of the grave.
00:22:14.60\00:22:17.58
And when they come up
out of the grave, it says:
00:22:17.78\00:22:22.17
Marvelous!
00:22:35.59\00:22:37.11
How are we going to be changed?
00:22:43.83\00:22:45.61
In other words, no
longer... no longer
00:22:55.99\00:22:59.53
will you or no longer
will I be subject to death.
00:22:59.73\00:23:03.46
We'll be given immortality.
00:23:05.14\00:23:07.26
Never never again
through the eons of time
00:23:07.46\00:23:12.73
to be subject to pain,
00:23:12.93\00:23:16.26
to be subject to disease.
00:23:16.46\00:23:19.61
Never again will there be death.
00:23:19.81\00:23:23.65
It will be no more.
00:23:23.85\00:23:27.04
When you and I
come out of the grave
00:23:29.13\00:23:31.58
this old body will
have put on incorruption
00:23:31.78\00:23:36.47
and we will be immortal.
00:23:36.67\00:23:40.61
Marvelous promise!
00:23:40.81\00:23:42.62
So that's what
happens to all the righteous
00:23:42.82\00:23:45.53
that have died.
They're resurrected.
00:23:45.73\00:23:48.66
What about all the
righteous that are living
00:23:48.86\00:23:53.92
when Jesus comes?
00:23:54.12\00:23:56.01
See? Well, it
says this about them:
00:23:56.21\00:23:59.50
So that's all the
righteous that are living...
00:24:03.61\00:24:06.04
So all those that are
living at the time Jesus comes
00:24:17.50\00:24:21.53
we are what? We are caught up.
00:24:21.73\00:24:26.64
We also, dear
friends, are changed.
00:24:26.84\00:24:30.34
Changed in a moment.
00:24:30.64\00:24:33.49
Twinkling of an eye.
00:24:33.69\00:24:35.20
This old body all of a sudden
00:24:35.40\00:24:37.44
changes from mortal to immortal.
00:24:37.64\00:24:41.17
From
corruptible to incorruption.
00:24:41.37\00:24:44.84
Changed. And they
will be caught up to meet
00:24:45.04\00:24:49.15
with all the righteous
that have been resurrected...
00:24:49.35\00:24:52.34
they'll be caught
up to meet the Lord.
00:24:52.54\00:24:54.28
I've said this
other... many times:
00:24:54.42\00:24:56.20
I have people tell me
"Brother Cox, I just hope I can
00:24:56.40\00:24:59.59
live to see the Lord come. "
00:24:59.79\00:25:01.30
You know... I'm not
real sure I want to.
00:25:01.50\00:25:05.65
I'm not sure that I want
to miss the resurrection.
00:25:06.96\00:25:11.02
See? Because that must
be marvelous, you know?
00:25:12.35\00:25:16.25
Stop to think of it. When He
comes and He's going to shout.
00:25:16.45\00:25:18.92
His voice is going to roll
through this earth like thunder.
00:25:19.12\00:25:22.30
And it says that the
graves are going to open
00:25:22.33\00:25:24.79
and the righteous are going
to come up out of that grave.
00:25:24.99\00:25:27.87
Oh what an
experience that will be!
00:25:28.07\00:25:30.12
I don't know if I
want to miss that.
00:25:30.32\00:25:32.32
See? But it's going to be
00:25:32.52\00:25:35.22
a wonderful,
wonderful day when Jesus comes!
00:25:35.42\00:25:39.29
Then all the living... all
the wicked that are living...
00:25:39.49\00:25:45.09
are going to be slain.
00:25:45.29\00:25:47.34
You see, there's
a difference here.
00:25:48.98\00:25:51.20
I told you... God is righteous.
00:25:52.70\00:25:58.67
God is holy.
00:26:00.54\00:26:02.26
God is pure.
00:26:03.49\00:26:06.17
There is no taint of sin in Him.
00:26:06.88\00:26:12.79
You and I... we're not.
00:26:17.43\00:26:20.55
The righteous have the
righteousness of Christ
00:26:22.91\00:26:28.63
shared. And let me tell you, the
righteousness of Jesus Christ
00:26:28.83\00:26:32.71
is holy, it's
pure, it's perfect.
00:26:32.91\00:26:38.77
Therefore it is
accepted. And it is in that
00:26:39.07\00:26:42.49
that you and I by
faith are cared for.
00:26:42.69\00:26:46.37
But you put a
person without that
00:26:46.68\00:26:49.21
who are wicked,
00:26:49.42\00:26:53.04
who are unholy,
00:26:53.34\00:26:56.05
who are sinful...
00:26:56.35\00:26:58.07
and the scripture says this:
00:26:58.27\00:27:00.65
I mean this is
describing the coming of Jesus.
00:27:10.99\00:27:13.46
This is a text that
has always interested me
00:27:28.02\00:27:32.25
because I mean here He's
coming and these people who were
00:27:32.45\00:27:36.56
the great kings, generals...
00:27:36.76\00:27:41.32
they're hiding.
00:27:41.52\00:27:44.08
They're hiding in the
mountains and the rocks.
00:27:44.28\00:27:47.15
I want to ask you
something this evening.
00:27:59.22\00:28:01.36
How many of you
are afraid of a lamb?
00:28:01.56\00:28:04.65
Huh? But these people are
scared to death of the Lamb.
00:28:07.25\00:28:11.37
See? It's a
great, great difference
00:28:11.57\00:28:15.83
in hiding from the Lamb.
00:28:16.03\00:28:19.48
The wicked... they're
not going to be able to stand
00:28:25.41\00:28:29.60
in the presence of
a God that is holy.
00:28:29.80\00:28:34.29
Christ is going to come
back with His mighty angels.
00:28:47.16\00:28:50.15
Have you ever
thought about that?
00:28:50.35\00:28:51.79
Have you ever thought about
Him coming with His angels?
00:28:51.99\00:28:55.74
One angel... one angel
00:28:57.86\00:29:02.49
appeared at the tomb of Christ
00:29:02.69\00:29:04.80
and all the
soldiers fell as dead men.
00:29:05.30\00:29:11.28
And the scripture says
that Jesus comes back with ALL
00:29:12.72\00:29:17.12
the angels.
00:29:17.32\00:29:19.64
You know how many that is?
00:29:19.94\00:29:21.02
The scripture
never numbers angels.
00:29:21.23\00:29:24.91
It calls them an
innumerable company.
00:29:25.77\00:29:28.17
But there is one
place where it says there's
00:29:28.37\00:29:31.21
ten thousand times ten thousand
00:29:31.31\00:29:34.06
and thousands of thousands.
00:29:34.26\00:29:37.12
Well, ten thousand times
ten thousand happens to be
00:29:37.97\00:29:40.53
a hundred million.
00:29:40.73\00:29:42.08
You get a hundred million angels
coming and each one of them's
00:29:42.28\00:29:46.35
countenance is like lightning,
00:29:46.55\00:29:48.40
you better believe
the generals will quiver.
00:29:49.76\00:29:55.33
All the lost will quiver.
00:29:55.63\00:29:59.69
Plead, OK?
00:29:59.99\00:30:04.03
It's going to happen.
00:30:15.73\00:30:18.20
This takes place
because they're too different.
00:30:18.50\00:30:22.84
So all the
wicked will simply fall.
00:30:34.50\00:30:39.22
At the coming of Christ they're
going to be slain if you please
00:30:39.52\00:30:43.40
by the brightness of His coming.
00:30:43.60\00:30:45.43
They will fall right
there, and the scripture says
00:30:45.63\00:30:47.87
they're not
going to be gathered.
00:30:47.97\00:30:49.42
They're not
going to be lamented.
00:30:49.62\00:30:51.29
They're not even
going to be buried.
00:30:51.59\00:30:53.82
Fall right there.
00:30:55.82\00:30:57.12
That's what's
going to happen to them.
00:30:58.94\00:31:00.43
OK, what about all the wicked
00:31:00.63\00:31:04.03
who were dead
before Christ came?
00:31:04.23\00:31:08.09
All the wicked that
have died before Christ comes
00:31:08.29\00:31:14.05
are just not disturbed.
00:31:14.25\00:31:16.30
In other words, when Jesus comes
00:31:16.60\00:31:19.08
and He shouts and all
those that have died in Christ
00:31:19.28\00:31:23.55
come out of the grave,
00:31:23.65\00:31:24.76
the wicked
don't hear that voice.
00:31:24.96\00:31:26.95
They just lay
there in the grave;
00:31:27.25\00:31:29.78
they are undisturbed.
00:31:29.98\00:31:32.69
In fact, the
scripture says this:
00:31:32.89\00:31:34.49
That's referring to the wicked.
00:31:38.69\00:31:40.98
So it says that
they are left alone.
00:31:47.59\00:31:50.82
They are not disturbed.
00:31:51.02\00:31:54.19
OK. The righteous...
they have all been taken.
00:31:55.33\00:32:00.52
Caught up in the
air... taken to heaven...
00:32:00.82\00:32:03.65
where they are going
to spend a thousand years.
00:32:03.85\00:32:08.38
Now let me ask you something.
00:32:08.68\00:32:10.41
If all the
righteous are up in heaven
00:32:11.80\00:32:13.82
and all the wicked are dead,
00:32:14.02\00:32:18.41
who does the
devil have to tempt?
00:32:18.61\00:32:21.77
No one. That's the
reason the scripture says
00:32:22.79\00:32:25.05
he's bound.
00:32:25.25\00:32:26.69
OK? Says he's bound.
00:32:26.90\00:32:29.77
In fact, it says
he's chained. Listen:
00:32:29.80\00:32:32.13
So he's bound
him; set a seal on him.
00:32:59.60\00:33:01.61
You see, it says
the devil is chained.
00:33:07.79\00:33:11.99
Do you think a chain
would hold the devil?
00:33:12.20\00:33:15.56
Huh?
00:33:16.69\00:33:18.55
No. Don't you remember the time
that Christ went over the shore
00:33:18.76\00:33:21.11
of the Gadarenes and
these two men come running out
00:33:21.32\00:33:23.78
of the tombs. The scripture says
they had been bound with chains
00:33:23.99\00:33:27.45
and they had
broken them asunder.
00:33:27.65\00:33:29.29
So if chains won't hold a man
00:33:29.49\00:33:31.61
I doubt that they're
going to hold the devil.
00:33:31.82\00:33:34.02
So what does it mean
00:33:34.22\00:33:35.91
when it says
he's chained? Bound?
00:33:36.11\00:33:38.68
Well, have you ever gone to...
00:33:38.88\00:33:40.95
had somebody come
over to your house
00:33:41.15\00:33:43.35
and say: "Go to town with me. "
00:33:43.56\00:33:46.00
And you say: "Well, I'd like
to, but I'm just tied down. "
00:33:46.03\00:33:49.31
What'd you mean?
00:33:49.51\00:33:51.39
Well you meant there
were circumstances that
00:33:51.59\00:33:53.91
wouldn't permit you to go.
00:33:54.11\00:33:55.93
That's what I'm saying here.
00:33:56.13\00:33:57.56
The devil is bound because the
righteous are all up in heaven.
00:33:57.76\00:34:00.49
The wicked are all dead.
00:34:00.69\00:34:01.87
So there are
circumstances that he's chained.
00:34:02.07\00:34:04.83
He has nobody to tempt.
00:34:05.03\00:34:06.91
I can remember I was visiting
with a lady about this one time.
00:34:07.11\00:34:10.89
We had been studying the Bible
and as we were talking about it
00:34:11.10\00:34:13.93
she said: "Oh, we're living
during that thousand years
00:34:14.13\00:34:16.67
right now. " And I
said: "We're what? "
00:34:16.87\00:34:19.74
And she said: "Oh, we're living
during that time right now. "
00:34:19.95\00:34:22.73
And I said: "But the
Bible says the devil's chained
00:34:22.93\00:34:27.54
during that time. "
00:34:27.74\00:34:29.34
She said: "He is!
We're living in that time;
00:34:29.54\00:34:31.78
the devil is chained. "
00:34:31.98\00:34:33.07
I said: "Well, if it
is, he's on a rubber chain
00:34:33.27\00:34:36.39
cause he gets around to
me quite often, you know. "
00:34:36.49\00:34:38.72
So, no... It's
during this thousand years
00:34:38.92\00:34:42.73
that he is
chained, he's bound up.
00:34:42.93\00:34:45.83
This takes place after
judgment up in heaven is over
00:34:46.03\00:34:51.48
and Jesus comes back.
00:34:51.69\00:34:53.71
This is when these
events happen and take place.
00:34:53.91\00:34:58.52
The earth during that
period of time is not inhabited.
00:34:58.72\00:35:04.13
The devil and his angels
are here, but there's no human.
00:35:04.33\00:35:07.98
And it says:
00:35:08.18\00:35:09.46
Says they will be there.
00:35:24.40\00:35:26.35
In fact, not a very pretty
picture, but the scripture
00:35:26.55\00:35:30.29
presents it.
00:35:30.49\00:35:31.97
It says an angel will come
00:35:32.18\00:35:35.92
and he will stand in the sun
00:35:36.12\00:35:38.62
and he'll invite
the birds to come.
00:35:38.82\00:35:43.29
Now this is come
to the feast of God.
00:35:43.60\00:35:49.09
This is for the
wicked that have died.
00:35:49.30\00:35:52.68
That's what it says will happen.
00:35:52.88\00:35:54.97
They'll lay right
there. They'll not be lamented.
00:35:55.18\00:35:57.33
They will not be buried.
00:35:57.53\00:35:59.77
They will be
refuse upon the ground.
00:35:59.97\00:36:03.22
Well, what's going to
happen with the righteous?
00:36:03.42\00:36:07.18
They've been taken to heaven.
00:36:07.39\00:36:09.50
They've been taken to heaven and
what are they going to be doing?
00:36:09.70\00:36:13.23
Well the scripture says
they are going to judge;
00:36:13.43\00:36:17.01
that judgment will
be given unto them.
00:36:17.21\00:36:22.40
That's what the
scripture tells us.
00:36:22.51\00:36:23.85
So here all the righteous are;
00:36:31.20\00:36:33.87
judgment is committed to them.
00:36:34.07\00:36:36.25
So the righteous
have been taken to heaven
00:36:54.86\00:36:57.19
where they are going to
live and reign with Christ there
00:36:57.39\00:37:01.13
for one thousand years,
00:37:01.16\00:37:03.20
and judgment is going
to be given unto them.
00:37:03.41\00:37:06.78
OK?
00:37:07.08\00:37:08.41
Who are they going to judge?
00:37:08.61\00:37:11.17
See? Who are
they going to judge?
00:37:11.37\00:37:14.49
Well it tells us:
00:37:14.69\00:37:16.34
So it says the saints
are going to be judging.
00:37:27.47\00:37:31.11
They're going
to judge the world.
00:37:31.31\00:37:32.96
OK? Why?
00:37:33.26\00:37:35.06
Well, judgment began
with the house of God.
00:37:35.26\00:37:39.06
So during this time that
the judgment was going on
00:37:39.27\00:37:42.33
up in heaven, this has
been the judgment of those
00:37:42.53\00:37:45.66
who have accepted Christ.
00:37:45.86\00:37:47.96
Those who were
entered in the Book of Life.
00:37:48.16\00:37:51.15
Those are the ones
that are being judged.
00:37:51.35\00:37:54.21
If you're not in
the Book of Life,
00:37:55.40\00:37:57.63
as far as God was
concerned you're lost.
00:37:57.83\00:38:02.08
But God does not intend
00:38:02.28\00:38:06.38
for anyone for eternity
00:38:06.58\00:38:10.76
to have a question.
00:38:10.96\00:38:12.42
God does not intend to do that.
00:38:12.62\00:38:15.40
In fact, it not only
says we'll judge the world
00:38:15.70\00:38:18.41
it says we'll judge angels.
00:38:18.61\00:38:20.63
Why will we be judging angels?
00:38:28.04\00:38:30.97
Because one third of the angels
00:38:31.27\00:38:35.97
fell from heaven.
00:38:36.18\00:38:38.67
Folks, you've got to understand
00:38:38.97\00:38:42.56
that God intends
to put an end to sin
00:38:42.77\00:38:47.63
for eternity.
00:38:47.83\00:38:49.96
He never intends
for it to rise again.
00:38:50.26\00:38:53.84
THEREFORE, He
does not intend for you
00:38:54.04\00:38:58.45
to have a question in your mind.
00:38:58.65\00:39:02.14
He intends to make
sure that is taken care of.
00:39:02.34\00:39:06.74
Listen... this is
what the Lord says:
00:39:06.94\00:39:08.67
Never again
will affliction rise.
00:39:19.96\00:39:22.15
Never again will there be sin.
00:39:22.25\00:39:23.97
IT WILL BE NO MORE FOR ETERNITY.
00:39:24.17\00:39:27.73
OK.
00:39:27.93\00:39:29.01
So what's going to happen?
00:39:29.31\00:39:31.04
Well... well let's say
that you, you have a friend.
00:39:31.35\00:39:37.17
And your friend
that you know real well
00:39:37.37\00:39:41.77
is a Christian... at
least as far as you know.
00:39:41.97\00:39:45.07
They follow the Lord and all.
00:39:45.27\00:39:48.48
And you get up to
heaven and they're not there.
00:39:48.68\00:39:52.77
Uh, what's going to happen?
00:39:56.94\00:39:58.48
Is God going to turn
some little key back here and
00:39:58.68\00:40:01.91
you and I are
going to become stooges?
00:40:02.11\00:40:04.61
Is that what's going to happen?
00:40:04.81\00:40:07.09
No, I don't think so.
00:40:07.29\00:40:09.80
God I think
expects us to use our minds
00:40:10.00\00:40:14.24
to understand, you know.
I don't think He's going to
00:40:14.27\00:40:17.39
expect us just
to become a robot.
00:40:17.49\00:40:20.78
No! So God intends for
you to answer that question.
00:40:20.98\00:40:26.84
So you start through eternity.
00:40:27.04\00:40:29.54
You get a few years
into eternity and you say:
00:40:29.74\00:40:34.60
"Where's John?
00:40:34.80\00:40:37.30
I wonder why
John didn't make it?
00:40:37.51\00:40:43.39
Strange.
00:40:45.91\00:40:48.95
I was sure he
would have made it.
00:40:49.25\00:40:51.45
Why isn't he here? "
00:40:51.65\00:40:54.39
God does not intend for you
00:40:54.69\00:40:59.53
to get 10,000
years into eternity
00:40:59.73\00:41:02.47
and all of a sudden
yell "Hey, where's John? "
00:41:02.67\00:41:05.83
It's not going to happen.
00:41:06.04\00:41:08.71
So this is the
reason for the judgment.
00:41:08.92\00:41:13.03
Because God... not
that God hasn't decided
00:41:13.23\00:41:17.08
and those things...
it's the fact that YOU
00:41:17.28\00:41:19.94
must be satisfied
in your heart and soul
00:41:20.14\00:41:24.08
that God was absolutely just.
00:41:24.28\00:41:27.37
Because He does not
intend for you to look down
00:41:27.57\00:41:31.27
years and years later and say:
00:41:31.57\00:41:33.86
"God didn't treat
that person right. "
00:41:34.06\00:41:36.39
That's also the reason
that there is a Book of Iniquity
00:41:36.59\00:41:42.04
and there's a
Book of Remembrance
00:41:42.24\00:41:45.18
where everything
that we do is recorded.
00:41:45.38\00:41:49.23
So when you're there
you can look and you can see
00:41:49.43\00:41:52.90
exactly what took
place and what happened.
00:41:53.10\00:41:56.14
And let me tell you something:
00:41:56.34\00:41:59.13
if you or myself miss it
00:41:59.33\00:42:06.28
and we're not there,
00:42:06.48\00:42:08.84
I'll assure you
something tonight...
00:42:09.05\00:42:11.19
it will not be God's fault.
00:42:11.39\00:42:14.10
I'll assure you that
God is doing everything
00:42:14.30\00:42:18.93
that God could do
to see that you and I
00:42:19.13\00:42:25.00
are saved.
00:42:25.20\00:42:26.54
Everything that He can do.
00:42:26.74\00:42:29.26
So He intends
to do away with sin
00:42:29.56\00:42:34.25
because it says this:
00:42:34.75\00:42:38.04
You see, it says that God is
going to wipe away every tear
00:42:54.46\00:43:00.31
from our eyes. Oh, I
think, I personally believe,
00:43:00.51\00:43:05.04
there will be tears
during that thousand years.
00:43:05.24\00:43:10.08
As you go through the records
00:43:10.28\00:43:12.90
and there's somebody
there that you loved dearly
00:43:13.10\00:43:16.58
that didn't make it.
00:43:16.78\00:43:18.42
I think there'll be some tears.
00:43:18.62\00:43:21.39
But as you see and you
00:43:21.59\00:43:23.66
understand God's love,
00:43:23.69\00:43:25.62
you understand all that He did
00:43:25.82\00:43:28.35
for that person to be there,
00:43:28.55\00:43:30.56
He wipes away the tears.
00:43:30.77\00:43:33.84
That you know that He
did everything He could
00:43:34.04\00:43:37.31
to save every last soul.
00:43:37.51\00:43:41.11
This is the
judgment of the wicked.
00:43:41.41\00:43:45.10
This is what's happening...
what's taking place.
00:43:45.30\00:43:47.33
Ah dear friend, you and I want
to be in the first resurrection.
00:43:58.77\00:44:03.52
OK? Put it down!
00:44:03.72\00:44:05.88
If you are going to die,
00:44:06.08\00:44:09.69
which we all will
unless the Lord comes,
00:44:09.89\00:44:15.87
then we want to be in
the first resurrection.
00:44:16.17\00:44:19.52
OK, let's go on.
00:44:29.90\00:44:34.91
So it says that these people
that have been resurrected
00:44:53.57\00:44:57.24
in the first resurrection,
00:44:57.44\00:44:58.89
they're going to
live and reign with Christ
00:44:59.09\00:45:01.69
for one thousand years.
00:45:01.90\00:45:05.44
That is the time that
judgment will be given to them
00:45:05.64\00:45:09.27
and they'll be going
over the records of the wicked
00:45:09.47\00:45:13.16
to make sure that
every question is answered.
00:45:13.36\00:45:17.15
That every person is solved.
00:45:17.25\00:45:19.72
This is what takes place. OK.
00:45:19.92\00:45:22.91
OK. So the dead in Christ are
going to come out of the grave.
00:45:43.39\00:45:47.42
In fact, the scripture says that
Jesus is going to come back.
00:45:47.62\00:45:52.13
When He comes back, it
says He's going to shout.
00:45:52.33\00:45:56.89
And when He shouts,
00:45:57.09\00:45:59.61
His words are going to
roll through this earth
00:45:59.81\00:46:02.39
and He's going to shout.
00:46:02.59\00:46:04.01
Tells us in Isaiah exactly
what He's going to shout.
00:46:04.21\00:46:07.29
He's going to shout:
"Awake and sing! " Amen!
00:46:07.32\00:46:11.78
And all the righteous
will come out of that grave
00:46:11.98\00:46:14.90
and they'll come out singing.
00:46:15.11\00:46:16.78
And they'll sing: "Oh
death, where is your sting?
00:46:16.98\00:46:19.84
Oh grave, where
is your victory? "
00:46:20.04\00:46:22.04
as they come up
out of the grave.
00:46:22.24\00:46:24.31
OK. So this is what we refer to
00:46:24.51\00:46:28.52
as the first resurrection.
00:46:28.72\00:46:31.93
Great, great difference, folks,
00:46:32.13\00:46:34.29
because it says you're changed.
00:46:34.49\00:46:38.04
In a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye
00:46:38.24\00:46:40.68
as you come out of the
grave or as you are translated.
00:46:40.88\00:46:43.39
Doesn't make any difference.
00:46:43.59\00:46:44.82
You know what that means?
00:46:45.02\00:46:46.36
That means if
you died with one arm
00:46:46.86\00:46:52.85
you're going to come out of
the grave with both of them.
00:46:53.05\00:46:56.39
Amen, praise God!
00:46:56.60\00:46:57.66
Means that you're changed.
00:46:57.86\00:47:00.43
It means that you
will come forth perfect.
00:47:00.64\00:47:03.98
Every person, every individual
that comes out of that grave
00:47:04.18\00:47:10.11
will be absolutely beautiful.
00:47:10.31\00:47:14.35
Because if you simply
take away all the wrinkles,
00:47:15.83\00:47:20.61
all the spots,
all the blemishes,
00:47:20.82\00:47:23.76
all the imperfections...
everybody is beautiful.
00:47:23.96\00:47:28.33
And so they'll
come out of the grave
00:47:28.53\00:47:31.07
changed in a moment,
the twinkling of an eye.
00:47:31.27\00:47:33.48
This is God's people.
00:47:33.68\00:47:35.82
You see that's the
covenant that we talked about
00:47:36.03\00:47:38.39
that He wants to make with
you. He said: "I'll be your God;
00:47:38.49\00:47:41.00
you shall be My people. "
00:47:41.20\00:47:44.27
So he's gathering
all of His people.
00:47:44.47\00:47:46.70
They will be resurrected...
come forth from the grave.
00:47:46.90\00:47:52.12
That's the first resurrection.
00:47:52.32\00:47:53.39
That begins - get it clear -
00:47:53.59\00:47:56.97
that begins the thousand years.
00:47:57.17\00:47:59.79
OK. And it says:
00:47:59.99\00:48:03.25
So the wicked are not involved.
00:48:09.92\00:48:13.34
They're asleep.
00:48:13.54\00:48:16.49
They're in the grave,
00:48:16.69\00:48:18.32
and they will be in the
grave for one thousand years.
00:48:18.52\00:48:23.93
OK? Then at the end of it
00:48:24.13\00:48:28.78
it says this:
00:48:28.98\00:48:30.32
there is another resurrection
- a second resurrection -
00:48:30.35\00:48:35.08
and this second resurrection is
the resurrection of the wicked.
00:48:35.28\00:48:40.58
Those are the ones
that come forth at the grave
00:48:41.90\00:48:44.73
at the end of
the thousand years.
00:48:44.93\00:48:47.48
That's the first resurrection.
Those that are good
00:49:04.45\00:49:07.99
to the resurrection of life.
00:49:08.19\00:49:10.06
OK.
00:49:10.26\00:49:11.54
So you find that
that is the wicked.
00:49:17.05\00:49:19.89
So there's two resurrections.
00:49:20.09\00:49:21.55
A thousand
years in between them.
00:49:21.75\00:49:23.73
During that thousand
years is when the judgment
00:49:23.93\00:49:26.76
of the lost takes place.
00:49:26.97\00:49:30.09
That is when every
question will be answered.
00:49:30.49\00:49:36.46
Nobody from then on
will have any question.
00:49:36.66\00:49:42.33
They will know what God
has done; that will settle it
00:49:42.53\00:49:46.24
for eternity.
00:49:46.44\00:49:47.76
Hmmm. The devil's been
in... on this old earth
00:49:56.01\00:50:01.93
for a thousand years.
00:50:02.13\00:50:04.46
The thousand
years comes to an end...
00:50:04.66\00:50:07.70
what happens?
00:50:07.90\00:50:09.25
All the wicked are resurrected.
00:50:09.45\00:50:14.23
And as the wicked come forth
00:50:14.44\00:50:16.49
from their grave, the devil
00:50:16.69\00:50:18.90
is released from his prison.
00:50:19.10\00:50:22.28
Why? Because he no longer has...
00:50:22.49\00:50:26.78
Now he's no longer bound.
He now has people to work with.
00:50:26.98\00:50:32.47
People to tempt.
People to do things with.
00:50:32.67\00:50:36.46
What is he going to do when
all the wicked are resurrected?
00:50:36.67\00:50:40.61
What's he going to do with them?
00:50:40.81\00:50:42.04
Well, it says:
00:50:42.24\00:50:44.87
Here they've been... all
the wicked are resurrected.
00:50:50.27\00:50:52.44
Folks, they're as thick
as the sands of the sea.
00:50:52.64\00:50:56.85
Stop and think.
Here's every man and woman
00:50:57.05\00:50:59.69
that has ever lived
since the beginning of time.
00:50:59.90\00:51:03.33
They're all resurrected.
00:51:03.73\00:51:06.17
And it says that he will go out:
00:51:06.37\00:51:09.20
That simply means
from one end to the other.
00:51:13.73\00:51:15.81
He has a plan.
00:51:25.06\00:51:27.17
He has something
that he's going to do
00:51:27.47\00:51:30.49
and he's laying
that all out. Think.
00:51:30.69\00:51:35.72
He has the opportunity to gather
some of the greatest minds
00:51:36.59\00:51:42.57
that have ever lived.
00:51:42.77\00:51:44.69
Some of the greatest
generals that have ever lived.
00:51:46.77\00:51:51.53
Because they're going to make
battle. That's what it says.
00:51:51.74\00:51:56.01
Will make a battle.
Gather them all together.
00:51:56.22\00:52:00.76
This is when the scripture says
00:52:00.96\00:52:05.59
that Jesus and all the righteous
that are in the New Jerusalem
00:52:05.89\00:52:11.82
and the city
00:52:12.02\00:52:13.77
comes back to this earth.
00:52:13.97\00:52:16.46
And when it comes
back to this earth,
00:52:16.66\00:52:19.97
and it says the New
Jerusalem settles here,
00:52:20.17\00:52:25.31
this is when the
Great White Throne Judgment
00:52:25.51\00:52:31.02
will take place.
00:52:31.22\00:52:33.39
When I think of all
00:52:36.99\00:52:40.43
He's done for me,
00:52:40.63\00:52:44.73
and the price He had to pay.
00:52:45.03\00:52:50.76
My heart cries out to Him
00:52:52.55\00:52:58.50
and in faith I hear Him say:
00:52:58.80\00:53:04.79
"Father,
00:53:06.40\00:53:08.27
I gave My life.
00:53:08.47\00:53:13.09
I lived a sinless life.
00:53:13.49\00:53:19.49
Oh take My righteous life
00:53:19.69\00:53:25.40
and cover this poor child. "
00:53:25.60\00:53:31.55
He is ever interceding
00:53:33.04\00:53:38.95
in the heavenly courts above.
00:53:40.09\00:53:46.02
Oh what a Savior!
00:53:47.43\00:53:53.39
Oh what tender, matchless
00:53:54.86\00:53:59.34
love!
00:53:59.54\00:54:05.07
Let us pray.
00:54:06.01\00:54:07.26
Father in Heaven,
00:54:07.56\00:54:08.80
This evening we're thankful.
00:54:11.70\00:54:13.92
Thankful that
You are our Redeemer,
00:54:14.12\00:54:20.10
our Savior.
00:54:20.30\00:54:21.63
Lord, may we each one
00:54:21.84\00:54:26.00
find our security, our hope,
00:54:26.20\00:54:31.10
our peace, our
righteousness in Jesus Christ.
00:54:31.31\00:54:37.23
May each individual
that's listening tonight,
00:54:38.76\00:54:42.20
each individual that's here,
00:54:44.26\00:54:46.00
may they be granted
because of Your Son Jesus Christ
00:54:47.74\00:54:52.76
may they be granted the right
00:54:52.96\00:54:57.41
to be in the first resurrection
00:54:57.61\00:54:59.32
or to be among those
that are alive at Your coming.
00:54:59.52\00:55:03.03
May all of us
rejoice in Jesus Christ...
00:55:03.23\00:55:09.44
thankful for Your
goodness to us and Your love.
00:55:09.64\00:55:13.48
This we pray in
Christ's name, Amen.
00:55:13.78\00:55:17.54
Well, tomorrow night is our last
presentation on the judgment:
00:55:23.98\00:55:29.90
Great White Throne Judgment.
00:55:30.10\00:55:32.60
That's what we are
right up to tonight
00:55:32.80\00:55:35.27
is the Great
White Throne Judgment.
00:55:35.47\00:55:37.20
What's' going to happen
00:55:37.40\00:55:38.64
when Christ comes
with all of the saved
00:55:38.84\00:55:42.44
and here are all of the
wicked that have ever lived.
00:55:42.64\00:55:45.79
What's going to take place?
00:55:45.99\00:55:47.10
So we hope you're with us.
00:55:47.20\00:55:48.24
God bless you.
Have a great evening.
00:55:48.44\00:55:51.20
Psalm 19 and verse 1 says:
00:55:52.48\00:55:55.28
"The heavens
declare the glory of God
00:55:55.96\00:55:58.31
and the firmament
shows His handiwork. "
00:55:58.51\00:56:01.29
All around us we see the
handiwork of our Creator.
00:56:01.49\00:56:05.32
Every flower displays a
palate of color and texture
00:56:05.52\00:56:08.93
beyond the imagination of man.
00:56:09.13\00:56:11.39
Every variety is
uniquely designed
00:56:11.59\00:56:14.78
by the Master of creativity.
00:56:14.98\00:56:17.19
But they're not
just a thing of beauty.
00:56:17.39\00:56:19.60
Every flower has a
function and a purpose.
00:56:19.80\00:56:22.53
So does every living creature.
00:56:22.73\00:56:24.61
Whether it is
feathered or finned,
00:56:24.81\00:56:26.84
each creature was put
together by the Author of Life.
00:56:27.04\00:56:31.00
Even in a fallen world
00:56:31.20\00:56:32.87
God has placed a desire
for life in every creature.
00:56:33.07\00:56:36.20
Without instruction, a
mother knows how to nurture
00:56:36.40\00:56:39.94
and protect her young
00:56:40.14\00:56:41.41
reflecting the tenderness
God feels for each of us.
00:56:41.61\00:56:45.87
No man can observe nature
00:56:46.07\00:56:48.65
and deny His existence.
00:56:48.85\00:56:50.60
But the God of
Heaven went far beyond
00:56:50.80\00:56:53.61
by humbling Himself
and becoming the man Jesus.
00:56:53.81\00:56:57.76
He walked the
dusty paths of Israel
00:56:57.98\00:57:00.07
and He paid the
debt for every man's sin
00:57:00.27\00:57:02.92
so we could have eternal life.
00:57:03.12\00:57:05.71
The Bible says in
John 17 and verse 3
00:57:06.01\00:57:09.54
"And this is eternal life
00:57:09.74\00:57:11.61
that they may know You,
00:57:11.81\00:57:13.29
the only true God,
00:57:13.49\00:57:15.30
and Jesus Christ
whom You have sent. "
00:57:15.50\00:57:17.98
The evidence of a
Creator God is all around us.
00:57:18.18\00:57:21.91
He has revealed
details of His character
00:57:22.11\00:57:24.71
in a love letter
to you and to me.
00:57:24.91\00:57:27.93
Our desire is to help
you understand the Bible
00:57:28.13\00:57:30.79
and receive
life... eternal life...
00:57:30.99\00:57:33.93
by getting to
know Him intimately.
00:57:34.13\00:57:36.48
Won't you help us bring
this message to the world?
00:57:36.68\00:57:39.71
Please consider what you can do
00:57:39.91\00:57:41.61
for those who still
don't know about Jesus.
00:57:41.81\00:57:44.22
As the Holy Spirit impresses,
00:57:44.42\00:57:45.94
please send your
tax-deducible gifts to:
00:57:46.14\00:57:48.29
Thank you for helping us
spread the light of God's Word
00:58:00.21\00:58:02.76
through television and radio.
00:58:02.86\00:58:04.53
Your gifts help bring
the Blessed Hope of salvation
00:58:04.73\00:58:06.95
to millions around the world.
00:58:07.15\00:58:09.46
