Hi, and welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.71\00:00:19.58
I'm Kelly Mowrer and I
will be reading today from the
00:00:19.61\00:00:22.68
King James version. When we were
last together we were reading
00:00:22.71\00:00:26.26
where the disciples had come
to Jesus and asked him to please
00:00:26.29\00:00:30.12
tell them what would be
some of the signs of his coming,
00:00:30.15\00:00:32.55
and in the end of the
world. Before we continue with
00:00:32.58\00:00:35.53
that, let's go to the Lord
in prayer. Dear heavenly Father,
00:00:35.56\00:00:39.53
thank you that you have not left
us to wander through this life
00:00:39.56\00:00:44.57
without counsel, without comfort
without strength, and guidance.
00:00:44.60\00:00:48.44
Thank you for the word of
Scripture that you have given
00:00:48.47\00:00:51.29
to us. And now as we read, give
us the Holy Spirit to help us to
00:00:51.32\00:00:56.21
understand these things;
that we may soon look up and see
00:00:56.24\00:00:59.86
you coming. We love you so much.
Amen. Again I'm reading from the
00:00:59.89\00:01:05.14
book of Matthew, chapter
24, and I'll begin in verse 23.
00:01:05.17\00:01:09.76
Then if any man shall say
unto you, Lo, here is Christ,
00:01:09.79\00:01:14.43
or there; believe it not. For
there shall arise false Christs,
00:01:14.46\00:01:18.93
and false prophets, and shall
show great signs and wonders;
00:01:18.96\00:01:22.18
insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive
00:01:22.21\00:01:26.11
the very elect. Behold, I
have told you before. Wherefore
00:01:26.14\00:01:31.70
if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in the desert;
00:01:31.73\00:01:34.07
go not forth: behold he
is in the secret chambers;
00:01:34.10\00:01:38.01
believe it not. For as
the lightning cometh out of
00:01:38.04\00:01:41.88
the east and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also
00:01:41.91\00:01:46.11
the coming of the Son of man be.
For wheresoever the carcase is,
00:01:46.14\00:01:50.43
there will the
eagles be gathered together.
00:01:50.46\00:01:53.29
Immediately after the
tribulation of those days
00:01:53.32\00:01:56.77
shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her
00:01:56.80\00:02:00.13
light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of
00:02:00.16\00:02:03.55
the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign
00:02:03.58\00:02:07.89
of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes
00:02:07.92\00:02:11.71
of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming
00:02:11.74\00:02:15.64
in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
00:02:15.67\00:02:19.40
And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet,
00:02:19.43\00:02:23.00
and they shall gather together
his elect from the four winds,
00:02:23.03\00:02:26.21
from one end of heaven to
the other. Now learn a parable
00:02:26.24\00:02:30.21
of the fig tree; When his branch
is yet tender, and putteth forth
00:02:30.24\00:02:34.51
leaves, ye know that summer
is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye
00:02:34.54\00:02:39.92
shall see all these
things, know that it is near,
00:02:39.95\00:02:42.72
even at the doors. Verily I say
unto you, This generation shall
00:02:42.75\00:02:48.17
not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled. Heaven and earth
00:02:48.20\00:02:52.85
shall pass away, but my
words shall not pass away.
00:02:52.88\00:02:56.69
But of that day and hour knoweth
no man, no, not the angels of
00:02:56.72\00:03:02.90
heaven, but my Father only.
But as the days of Noe were,
00:03:02.93\00:03:07.91
so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
00:03:07.94\00:03:11.29
For as in the days that
were before the flood they were
00:03:11.32\00:03:15.27
eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
00:03:15.30\00:03:18.53
until the day that Noe entered
into the ark, and knew not until
00:03:18.56\00:03:22.60
the flood came, and took
them all away; so shall also
00:03:22.63\00:03:26.42
the coming of the Son of man be.
Then shall two be in the field;
00:03:26.45\00:03:31.65
the one shall be
taken, and the other left.
00:03:31.68\00:03:33.91
Two women shall be grinding at
the mill, the one shall be taken
00:03:33.94\00:03:38.38
and the other left. Watch
therefore: for ye know not
00:03:38.41\00:03:42.67
what hour your Lord
doth come. But know this,
00:03:42.70\00:03:47.05
that if the goodman of the
house had known in what watch
00:03:47.08\00:03:50.79
the thief would come, he would
have watched and would not have
00:03:50.82\00:03:54.31
suffered his house to be broken
up. Therefore be ye also ready
00:03:54.34\00:03:59.25
for in such an hour as ye
think not the Son of man cometh.
00:03:59.28\00:04:03.96
Who then is a faithful and wise
servant, whom his lord hath made
00:04:03.99\00:04:09.19
ruler over his household, to
give them meat in due season?
00:04:09.22\00:04:12.61
Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall
00:04:12.64\00:04:17.43
find so doing. Verily I say
unto you, That he shall make
00:04:17.46\00:04:21.37
him ruler over all his goods.
But and if that evil servant
00:04:21.40\00:04:26.49
shall say in his heart,
My lord delayeth his coming;
00:04:26.52\00:04:30.70
and shall begin to smite
his fellow-servants, and to eat
00:04:30.73\00:04:34.37
and drink with the drunken;
The lord of that servant
00:04:34.40\00:04:37.75
shall come in a day
when he looketh not for him,
00:04:37.78\00:04:41.09
and in an hour that he is
not aware of, and shall cut him
00:04:41.12\00:04:45.77
asunder, and appoint him
his portion with the hypocrites:
00:04:45.80\00:04:49.82
there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
00:04:49.85\00:04:53.06
I'm reading from the
book of Matthew, chapter 25.
00:04:53.09\00:04:56.83
Then shall the kingdom of heaven
be likened unto ten virgins,
00:04:56.86\00:05:03.27
which took their lamps and went
forth to meet the bridegroom.
00:05:03.30\00:05:06.32
And five of them were
wise, and five were foolish.
00:05:06.35\00:05:10.06
They that were foolish took
their lamps, and took no oil
00:05:10.09\00:05:14.62
with them: But the wise took
oil in their vessels with their
00:05:14.65\00:05:19.03
lamps. While the bridegroom
tarried, they all slumbered
00:05:19.06\00:05:22.80
and slept. And at midnight
there was a cry made, Behold,
00:05:22.83\00:05:26.16
bridegroom cometh; go ye
out to meet him. Then all those
00:05:26.19\00:05:30.12
virgins arose, and trimmed their
lamps. And the foolish said unto
00:05:30.15\00:05:33.91
the wise, Give us of your
oil; for our lamps are gone out.
00:05:33.94\00:05:36.95
But the wise answered, saying,
Not so; lest there be not enough
00:05:36.98\00:05:41.89
for us and you: but go ye rather
to them that sell, and buy for
00:05:41.92\00:05:46.53
yourselves. And while they went
to buy, the bridegroom came;
00:05:46.56\00:05:50.89
and they that were ready went
in with him to the marriage:
00:05:50.92\00:05:54.75
and the door was shut. Afterward
came also the other virgins,
00:05:54.78\00:05:59.91
saying, Lord, Lord, open to
us. But he answered and said,
00:05:59.94\00:06:04.20
Verily I say unto you, I
know you not. Watch therefore,
00:06:04.23\00:06:09.96
for ye know neither the day nor
the hour wherein the Son of man
00:06:09.99\00:06:14.42
cometh. For the kingdom of
heaven is as a man traveling
00:06:14.45\00:06:19.84
into a far country, who called
his own servants, and delivered
00:06:19.87\00:06:23.36
unto them his goods. And
unto one he gave five talents,
00:06:23.39\00:06:26.73
to another two, and to another
one; to every man according
00:06:26.76\00:06:30.74
to his several ability; and
straightway took his journey.
00:06:30.77\00:06:34.23
Then he that had received
the five talents went and traded
00:06:34.26\00:06:38.68
with the same, and made them
other five talents. And likewise
00:06:38.71\00:06:43.27
he that had received two, he
also gained other two. But he
00:06:43.30\00:06:48.01
that had received one went
and digged in the earth, and hid
00:06:48.04\00:06:51.53
his lord's money. After a long
time the lord of those servants
00:06:51.56\00:06:55.15
cometh and reckoneth with them.
And so he that had received five
00:06:55.18\00:06:59.72
talents, came and brought other
five talents, saying, Lord thou
00:06:59.75\00:07:04.57
deliveredst unto me five talents
behold: I have gained beside
00:07:04.60\00:07:08.54
them five talents more.
00:07:08.58\00:07:11.18
His lord said unto
him, Well done, thou good
00:07:11.21\00:07:13.28
and faithful servant: thou
hast been faithful over a few
00:07:13.31\00:07:16.42
things, I will make thee ruler
over many things: enter thou
00:07:16.45\00:07:20.56
into the joy of thy lord.
He also that had received two
00:07:20.59\00:07:25.08
talents came and said,
Lord thou deliveredst unto me
00:07:25.11\00:07:28.98
two talents: behold, I
have gained two other talents
00:07:29.01\00:07:32.28
beside them. His lord
said unto him, Well done, good
00:07:32.31\00:07:36.61
and faithful servant; thou hast
been faithful over a few things,
00:07:36.64\00:07:40.41
I will make thee ruler over many
things: enter thou into the joy
00:07:40.44\00:07:44.88
of thy lord. Then he which
had received the one talent came
00:07:44.91\00:07:50.67
and said, Lord, I knew
thee that thou art an hard man
00:07:50.70\00:07:55.60
reaping where thou hast not sown
and gathering where thou hast
00:07:55.63\00:07:59.68
not strawed: and I was afraid,
and went and hid thy talent
00:07:59.71\00:08:03.85
in the earth: lo, there
thou hast that is thine.
00:08:03.88\00:08:07.96
His lord answered and said unto
him, Thou wicked and slothful
00:08:07.99\00:08:12.76
servant, thou knewest
that I reap where I sowed not,
00:08:12.79\00:08:16.09
and gather where I have not
strawed: Thou oughtest therefore
00:08:16.12\00:08:19.55
to have put my money to
the exchangers, and then at my
00:08:19.58\00:08:22.25
coming I should have received
mine own back with usury.
00:08:22.28\00:08:24.92
Take therefore the talent from
him, and give it unto him which
00:08:24.95\00:08:29.74
hath ten talents. For unto every
one that hath shall be given,
00:08:29.77\00:08:34.21
and he shall have abundance: but
from him that hath not shall be
00:08:34.24\00:08:39.48
taken away even that
which he hath. And cast
00:08:39.51\00:08:42.54
ye the unprofitable servant into
outer darkness: there shall be
00:08:42.57\00:08:47.40
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
When the Son of man shall come
00:08:47.43\00:08:51.66
in His glory, and all the
holy angels with him, then shall
00:08:51.69\00:08:54.84
he sit upon the throne of his
glory: and before him shall be
00:08:54.87\00:08:59.68
gathered all nations: and
he shall separate them one from
00:08:59.71\00:09:03.15
another, as a shepherd divideth
his sheep from the goats:
00:09:03.18\00:09:06.35
And he shall set the sheep
on his right hand, but the goats
00:09:06.38\00:09:10.40
on the left. Then shall the King
say unto them on his right hand,
00:09:10.43\00:09:15.22
Come, ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared
00:09:15.25\00:09:19.81
for you from the
foundation of the world:
00:09:19.84\00:09:21.55
For I was an hungered, and
ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
00:09:21.58\00:09:25.89
and ye gave me drink: I was
a stranger, and ye took me in:
00:09:25.92\00:09:29.53
naked, and ye clothed me: I
was sick, and ye visited me:
00:09:29.56\00:09:33.71
I was in prison and ye came unto
me: Then shall the righteous
00:09:33.74\00:09:37.34
answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungered,
00:09:37.37\00:09:41.74
and fed thee? or thirsty,
and gave thee drink? When saw
00:09:41.77\00:09:45.65
we thee a stranger and took
thee in? or naked, and clothed
00:09:45.68\00:09:48.67
thee? Or when saw we thee sick,
or in prison and came unto thee?
00:09:48.70\00:09:52.84
And the King shall answer and
say unto them, Verily I say unto
00:09:52.87\00:09:58.24
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these
00:09:58.27\00:10:02.57
my brethren, ye have done it
unto me. Then shall he say also
00:10:02.60\00:10:08.32
unto them on the left
hand, Depart from me, ye cursed,
00:10:08.35\00:10:11.57
into everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels:
00:10:11.60\00:10:14.84
For I was an hungered, and ye
gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
00:10:14.87\00:10:18.55
and ye gave me no drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me not in:
00:10:18.58\00:10:22.85
naked and ye clothed me
not: sick, and in prison,
00:10:22.88\00:10:26.78
and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him,
00:10:26.81\00:10:31.48
saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungered, or athirst, or a
00:10:31.51\00:10:36.45
stranger, or naked, or sick, or
in prison, and did not minister
00:10:36.48\00:10:39.56
unto thee? Then shall he answer
them, saying, Verily I say unto
00:10:39.59\00:10:45.10
you, Inasmuch as ye did it not
to one of the least of these,
00:10:45.13\00:10:49.36
ye did it not to me. And these
shall go away into everlasting
00:10:49.39\00:10:55.24
punishment: but the
righteous into eternal life.
00:10:55.27\00:10:58.56
We're reading from the
book of Matthew, chapter 26.
00:10:58.59\00:11:02.84
And it came to pass, when Jesus
had finished all these sayings,
00:11:02.87\00:11:07.80
he said unto his disciples,
Ye know that after two days
00:11:07.83\00:11:10.93
is the feast of the Passover,
and the Son of man is betrayed
00:11:10.96\00:11:15.07
to be crucified. Then assembled
together the chief priests,
00:11:15.10\00:11:19.74
and the scribes, and the elders
of the people, unto the palace
00:11:19.77\00:11:23.32
of the high priest,
who was called Caiaphas,
00:11:23.35\00:11:25.49
And consulted that they
might take Jesus by subtlety,
00:11:25.52\00:11:29.43
and kill him. But they said, Not
on the feast day, lest there be
00:11:29.46\00:11:34.08
an uproar among the people.
Now when Jesus was in Bethany,
00:11:34.11\00:11:38.25
in the house of Simon the leper,
there came unto him a woman
00:11:38.28\00:11:41.97
having an alabaster box of very
precious ointment, and poured
00:11:42.00\00:11:45.96
it on his head, as he sat
at meat. But when his disciples
00:11:45.99\00:11:50.55
saw it, they had indignation,
saying, To what purpose is this
00:11:50.58\00:11:54.36
waste? For this ointment
might have been sold for much,
00:11:54.39\00:11:57.56
and given to the poor. When
Jesus understood it, he said
00:11:57.59\00:12:01.19
unto them, Why trouble ye
the woman? for she hath wrought
00:12:01.22\00:12:05.11
a good work upon me. For ye
have the poor always with you;
00:12:05.14\00:12:08.71
but me ye have not always.
For in that she hath poured this
00:12:08.74\00:12:13.65
ointment on my body, she did it
for my burial. Verily I say unto
00:12:13.68\00:12:17.99
you, Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached in the whole
00:12:18.02\00:12:21.33
world, there shall also
this, that this woman hath done,
00:12:21.36\00:12:25.41
be told for a memorial of
her. Then one of the twelve,
00:12:25.44\00:12:31.23
called Judas Iscariot,
went unto the chief Priests,
00:12:31.26\00:12:34.40
and said unto them, What will ye
give me, and I will deliver him
00:12:34.43\00:12:38.17
unto you? And they covenanted
with him for 30 pieces of silver
00:12:38.20\00:12:43.07
and from that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.
00:12:43.10\00:12:47.11
Now the first day of the
feast of unleavened bread
00:12:47.14\00:12:50.58
the disciples came to
Jesus, saying unto him,
00:12:50.61\00:12:53.49
Where wilt thou that we prepare
for thee to eat the Passover?
00:12:53.52\00:12:56.72
And he said, Go into the city
to such a man, and say unto him,
00:12:56.75\00:13:01.65
The Master saith, My time is at
hand; I will keep the Passover
00:13:01.68\00:13:07.30
at thy house with my disciples.
And the disciples did as Jesus
00:13:07.33\00:13:11.97
had appointed them; and
they made ready the Passover.
00:13:12.00\00:13:14.09
now when the even was come,
he sat down with the twelve.
00:13:14.12\00:13:18.12
and as they did eat, he said,
Verily I say unto you, that one
00:13:18.15\00:13:23.56
of you shall betray me. And
they were exceeding sorrowful,
00:13:23.59\00:13:27.63
and began every one of them
to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
00:13:27.66\00:13:31.15
And he answered and said, He
that dippeth his hand with me
00:13:31.18\00:13:35.35
in the dish, the
same shall betray me.
00:13:35.38\00:13:37.84
The Son of man goeth as it
is written of him: but woe unto
00:13:37.87\00:13:43.72
that man by whom the Son of man
is betrayed! it had been good
00:13:43.75\00:13:47.83
for that man if he had not been
born. Then Judas, which betrayed
00:13:47.86\00:13:52.99
him answered and said, Master,
is it I? He said unto him,
00:13:53.02\00:13:56.66
Thou hast said. And as they
were eating, Jesus took bread,
00:13:56.69\00:14:01.14
and blessed it, and brake it,
and gave it to the disciples,
00:14:01.17\00:14:04.52
and said, Take, eat; this is
my body. And he took the cup,
00:14:04.55\00:14:10.37
and gave thanks, and gave it
to them, saying, Drink ye all
00:14:10.40\00:14:13.18
of it; For this is my
blood of the new testament,
00:14:13.21\00:14:15.98
which is shed for many
for the remission of sins.
00:14:16.01\00:14:18.92
But I say unto you, I will not
drink henceforth of this fruit
00:14:18.95\00:14:23.59
of the vine, until that day
when I drink it new with you
00:14:23.62\00:14:27.30
in my Father's kingdom. -
Thank you again for joining me
00:14:27.33\00:14:32.46
May God keep you in His care.
