Harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are few.
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.93
Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.94\00:00:06.11
that he will, he will
send forth laborers into
00:00:06.38\00:00:09.60
his harvest. Also, I
heard the voice of the
00:00:09.61\00:00:12.24
Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?
00:00:12.25\00:00:14.45
And who will go for us?"
00:00:15.40\00:00:17.19
Then said I,
"Here am I, send me,
00:00:17.95\00:00:21.34
send me". Life on
the Edge will enable you
00:00:21.97\00:00:25.24
to be an effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.25\00:00:27.23
We now invite you
into our classroom
00:00:27.92\00:00:30.11
to come, experience Life.
00:00:30.12\00:00:33.74
Welcome again to
the Lay Institute for
00:00:43.77\00:00:45.22
Evangelism. Today,
we're going to be talking
00:00:45.23\00:00:47.26
about part 2 of the
Destruction of the Wicked,
00:00:47.27\00:00:49.71
it's a two part Bible study.
00:00:49.72\00:00:50.89
Now, when you
actually give the Bible study
00:00:50.90\00:00:53.04
for those of you at
home or for those of us
00:00:53.67\00:00:55.03
here when you
give the Bible study,
00:00:55.04\00:00:56.43
you want to make sure
that you don't do it all,
00:00:57.09\00:00:58.96
you take 2
hours to do the study,
00:00:59.67\00:01:00.89
you follow that?
You want to give a Bible
00:01:01.08\00:01:02.95
study in about an
hour's time, as Scott has
00:01:02.96\00:01:04.57
covered that pretty
good, and I wanna to
00:01:04.58\00:01:06.17
touch on it again
here. If you go in somebody's
00:01:06.18\00:01:08.54
home and there were
to say yes please have
00:01:08.55\00:01:10.13
Bible studies with me.
And your Bible study lasts
00:01:10.14\00:01:12.54
like 2 hours, next
week when you say let's
00:01:12.55\00:01:15.37
have a Bible study.
They're gonna say oh!
00:01:15.38\00:01:17.29
You know I kind of got
some things I got to do,
00:01:17.30\00:01:18.98
I'm little busy, because
they're thinking themselves
00:01:18.99\00:01:21.23
I like to have the
study, but I really don't
00:01:21.24\00:01:22.80
have 2 or 3 hours to
spend with this person.
00:01:22.81\00:01:24.54
But since we are
actually learning here,
00:01:25.10\00:01:26.72
we are actually
teaching how to give the Bible
00:01:26.73\00:01:28.65
studies, and like it
takes a little extra time,
00:01:28.66\00:01:31.62
because you know I
don't always when I'm
00:01:31.63\00:01:33.65
giving a Bible study
give all the stories like I've
00:01:33.66\00:01:36.02
given to you guys.
You know it's like every
00:01:36.03\00:01:37.58
story but some of them I'll use,
00:01:37.59\00:01:38.95
and same with you,
there will be certain things
00:01:39.76\00:01:41.41
that happened in your
life and when you do that,
00:01:41.42\00:01:43.83
when you do the Bible
study with someone else.
00:01:43.84\00:01:45.58
You want to make
sure that, that you share
00:01:46.49\00:01:47.68
things what it means
to you personally in a
00:01:47.69\00:01:49.73
personal experience,
I mean you wanna share
00:01:49.74\00:01:51.21
the Bible truth? You
want to actually share what
00:01:51.22\00:01:53.27
the Bible has to
say, but then the personal
00:01:53.28\00:01:55.68
experience like
how it's changed you,
00:01:55.69\00:01:57.16
how it's made your life
different is very important
00:01:57.17\00:01:59.64
as well. So, but you
don't want the whole Bible
00:01:59.65\00:02:02.97
study to be
personal testimony time,
00:02:02.98\00:02:04.43
you know. So, again
when you give these studies
00:02:05.02\00:02:07.53
it's okay to give a
personal story here and
00:02:07.54\00:02:09.38
there, and let them
know like see how actually
00:02:09.39\00:02:11.57
applies to you in real
life. Are you following
00:02:11.58\00:02:14.34
what I'm saying
there, okay, and so we done
00:02:14.35\00:02:17.19
the first half of the
study on the Destruction
00:02:17.20\00:02:20.15
of the Wicked. And the
reason I called Destruction
00:02:20.16\00:02:22.47
of the Wicked
instead of just simply hell,
00:02:22.48\00:02:24.07
is because it kind a,
hell kind has a connotation
00:02:24.60\00:02:27.40
of everlasting,
ever-turn, ever-burning,
00:02:27.41\00:02:29.77
eternal fire where
the wicked are just there
00:02:30.71\00:02:32.55
and they can't die
no matter how much they
00:02:32.56\00:02:33.68
want to die? That's
kind of the mind set on
00:02:33.69\00:02:36.00
when you think about
hell, most people when
00:02:36.01\00:02:37.80
you think about it.
But when you say a term
00:02:37.81\00:02:39.36
Destruction of the
Wicked, it kind of gives the
00:02:39.59\00:02:41.60
different meaning
you know what I'm saying?
00:02:41.61\00:02:42.81
It doesn't sound like
they are living forever
00:02:43.34\00:02:44.93
does it, it sounds like
destruction of the wicked.
00:02:44.94\00:02:46.65
And so we're gonna
actually review a little bit
00:02:47.29\00:02:49.16
of the first part of
DVD, because or the video
00:02:49.48\00:02:52.76
we're taking here this session.
00:02:52.77\00:02:54.44
The reason we're
gonna review is because
00:02:54.74\00:02:56.27
somebody might just
pick up in the middle of this
00:02:56.28\00:02:57.94
and be watching the
second, second part of
00:02:57.95\00:03:00.88
this or second half
that we're doing now,
00:03:00.89\00:03:02.34
and say what are
they talking about?
00:03:02.53\00:03:03.74
And so we'll
review quickly of what we
00:03:04.29\00:03:06.42
covered so far and
as we do that review,
00:03:06.43\00:03:09.07
we're gonna look at
when we first started out
00:03:09.80\00:03:11.41
the study today on the
Destruction of the Wicked.
00:03:11.42\00:03:13.45
We looked at the
purpose of this study and
00:03:13.86\00:03:15.45
what was the
purpose of the study?
00:03:15.46\00:03:16.68
To show that the
purpose of hell is to destroy
00:03:17.11\00:03:19.98
sin forever, so the
purpose of hell is not to
00:03:19.99\00:03:24.20
prolong a sinner in immortal,
00:03:24.37\00:03:26.33
in immortal torture,
you know, but it's to
00:03:27.32\00:03:29.83
destroy sin forever.
God doesn't want to show
00:03:29.84\00:03:32.60
us as sinners,
remembex we learned that in
00:03:32.61\00:03:34.24
the last study
that in Matthew Chapter,
00:03:34.25\00:03:36.45
when we looked in
the gospel of Matthew.
00:03:36.61\00:03:37.96
Let me get to text
here Matthew Chapter 25
00:03:37.97\00:03:39.91
we found out in
verse 41 that hell was
00:03:40.29\00:03:43.52
prepared for who? For the devil,
00:03:43.53\00:03:46.01
for Satan and his
angels, right, but and
00:03:46.02\00:03:48.31
the reason he is
gonna put them there,
00:03:48.32\00:03:49.46
is because they have
sinned, they have fallen
00:03:49.47\00:03:51.31
from heaven, they
are here on earth;
00:03:51.32\00:03:52.29
they are causing all of
us, all of our problems,
00:03:52.96\00:03:55.13
all of our tortures,
and all the bad things
00:03:55.14\00:03:57.28
that are happening to
you is because of the devil,
00:03:57.29\00:03:58.93
is because of that
sin that he has caused to
00:03:59.13\00:04:00.86
happen in this earth.
And so eventually God says
00:04:00.87\00:04:02.88
I'm gonna have this
place, and I'm gonna
00:04:03.49\00:04:04.69
destroy the devil
in. But now if you happen
00:04:04.70\00:04:07.47
to be connected with
him, I've got to destroy you
00:04:07.48\00:04:09.92
too. And so when we think of,
00:04:09.93\00:04:12.19
the reason we make it
the destruction of the
00:04:12.34\00:04:13.79
wicked instead of
just simply saying hell is
00:04:13.80\00:04:15.48
because that's
what's gonna happen to them
00:04:15.49\00:04:16.76
according to the
Bible. They're gonna be
00:04:16.77\00:04:18.10
destroyed in the fires
of hell, and that's what
00:04:18.11\00:04:20.99
the purpose of it
is, and remember how we
00:04:21.00\00:04:22.60
looked at it? Does God love sin?
00:04:22.61\00:04:23.95
No, does God love sinners?
00:04:24.86\00:04:26.31
Yes, and so
since God love sinners,
00:04:26.63\00:04:28.61
and He hates sin,
and He says I'm gonna
00:04:28.75\00:04:30.76
immortalize sin, is it
what He says in the Bible?
00:04:31.07\00:04:33.02
He is gonna do
what? Destroy sin,
00:04:34.22\00:04:35.78
but now He has a
problem, the problem is
00:04:36.12\00:04:38.69
those who He loves
you and I who He loves
00:04:38.83\00:04:40.87
deeply are here on
this planet and there is sin
00:04:40.88\00:04:44.48
all around us. And
some of us, unfortunately
00:04:44.49\00:04:47.02
some of us tend to
have an idea that we really
00:04:47.03\00:04:49.84
love sin. And so now
God has a problem that
00:04:49.85\00:04:53.12
who He loves you and myself,
00:04:53.13\00:04:54.85
He loves us is involved in sin,
00:04:54.86\00:04:57.31
we have it involved in
our life we're like filled
00:04:57.32\00:04:59.95
with it, right?
Sometimes we can get that way.
00:04:59.96\00:05:01.76
And God hates the
sin, but He loves you.
00:05:02.26\00:05:04.70
Now, what's His
problem? You know what
00:05:05.57\00:05:06.94
His problem is? In
order to get rid of the sin,
00:05:06.95\00:05:09.95
He has to also destroy
the one that has involved
00:05:10.66\00:05:13.66
with it, the one
is connected to it.
00:05:13.67\00:05:15.00
So, even though
He doesn't want to,
00:05:15.30\00:05:16.70
God doesn't want to
destroy us. And we'll learn
00:05:17.06\00:05:19.45
that as we get to
end of the study today.
00:05:19.46\00:05:21.06
We will learn He
doesn't want to get rid of us.
00:05:21.07\00:05:22.77
He wants us to live
forever. But in order for
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.54
us to help us to live forever,
00:05:24.55\00:05:25.73
He has to get us
to turn from our sin.
00:05:26.07\00:05:28.46
And so the purpose
of the study is to show
00:05:29.59\00:05:31.43
and like its quoted
here if you notice real close
00:05:32.11\00:05:33.62
on the purpose here.
It says the purpose is to
00:05:33.63\00:05:35.61
destroy not the
sinner, but sin forever.
00:05:35.62\00:05:39.05
God really doesn't
want to destroy the sinner
00:05:39.25\00:05:40.76
forever, it just
happen, you happen to be
00:05:40.77\00:05:42.27
connected with it.
You know, its like your,
00:05:42.28\00:05:44.28
what do they call them
collateral damage when you
00:05:44.49\00:05:46.89
when you drop a
bomb and you want to
00:05:46.90\00:05:47.87
destroy the enemy over
there in the some of the
00:05:47.88\00:05:49.40
wars we're having now
they drop a bomb there
00:05:49.41\00:05:51.01
was collateral
damage. You know it happened
00:05:51.02\00:05:52.94
to be that some of
the, some of the people
00:05:52.95\00:05:55.01
that were, that we
didn't want to destroy,
00:05:55.02\00:05:56.65
got destroyed too,
because it was connected
00:05:56.95\00:05:58.78
with the people
that we had to destroy or
00:05:58.79\00:06:01.31
needed to
destroy they say, okay.
00:06:01.32\00:06:02.74
And so whether
they needed to or had
00:06:03.29\00:06:04.96
to or not that's it,
somebody else opinion,
00:06:04.97\00:06:06.90
I'm out of that.
00:06:06.99\00:06:07.96
But the Bible says
as we go to the Center
00:06:08.77\00:06:10.67
It part here, we're
gonna look at the Center It:
00:06:10.68\00:06:11.98
Jesus loves sinners
forever, did you know that?
00:06:12.11\00:06:15.83
Jesus loves sinners
forever. Now, we took from
00:06:16.84\00:06:20.34
this point as we
went through the study and
00:06:20.35\00:06:22.86
we realize that
God is a God of love,
00:06:22.87\00:06:25.44
and He loves even
sinners forever and if you
00:06:26.13\00:06:28.64
love someone, do
you want him to torture
00:06:28.65\00:06:30.50
forever like? Even if
you hate someone would
00:06:30.51\00:06:33.05
you want to see
them be tortured forever?
00:06:33.06\00:06:34.38
I mean even a
scantily as we are you know as
00:06:34.90\00:06:36.88
human beings and is
rotten as we are inside,
00:06:36.89\00:06:38.76
we don't want to see
anybody suffer forever.
00:06:39.12\00:06:41.43
I mean I don't, my
kids, and how about your?
00:06:42.32\00:06:44.94
I don't want to
punish them forever,
00:06:45.58\00:06:46.65
you know I would like
to say I had tough time
00:06:47.33\00:06:49.41
even like with my kids,
they are really good kids,
00:06:49.42\00:06:51.24
you really don't need
to put to whole harder
00:06:51.25\00:06:52.77
ever actually as far as it goes
00:06:53.10\00:06:54.18
the best kids in the world.
00:06:54.19\00:06:55.30
But anyway when
I had to do them,
00:06:56.10\00:06:57.99
when they do like
somebody calls one of the
00:06:58.11\00:07:00.11
others, somebody
else's kids, because my kid's
00:07:00.12\00:07:02.39
messed up you know
how they go sometimes,
00:07:02.40\00:07:03.60
right? And they have
done something wrong,
00:07:03.61\00:07:06.10
and I got to
punish them. Do you think
00:07:06.67\00:07:08.93
I want to send them,
send them to the room
00:07:08.94\00:07:10.45
forever? No. You
know it actually hurts me
00:07:10.65\00:07:13.42
to send them to the
room or punished them
00:07:13.43\00:07:14.95
just a little bit,
because I have to do it, right?
00:07:15.23\00:07:18.09
I'm more just in God,
if I'm more holy in God,
00:07:19.01\00:07:20.88
and so God create us
and loves us and He's
00:07:20.89\00:07:23.74
gonna make us
suffer forever, and ever,
00:07:23.75\00:07:26.76
and ever, and ever,
and ever for the sins of
00:07:27.19\00:07:28.53
one lifetime. See it,
it doesn't make sense to
00:07:28.54\00:07:30.93
have say that's the
God of love, and that's
00:07:30.94\00:07:33.52
kind of the review
of what we looked at,
00:07:33.53\00:07:34.88
we looked at text
that go along with it.
00:07:34.89\00:07:36.19
We figured out
that, that God had created
00:07:36.20\00:07:38.25
heaven for us,
right? Matthew 25:34,
00:07:38.31\00:07:41.46
Either He created
heaven for us to be in and
00:07:41.47\00:07:43.90
He created hell,
He's gonna create hell,
00:07:43.91\00:07:45.48
hell is gonna be here
existing for the devil
00:07:45.49\00:07:47.77
and his angels,
that's they were created for.
00:07:47.78\00:07:49.93
But you will get on
there if you're connected
00:07:49.94\00:07:51.83
with them, but He
wants us to live forever,
00:07:51.84\00:07:53.91
He is a God of love,
He wants His creation to
00:07:54.31\00:07:55.92
live forever. And
then we found out something
00:07:55.93\00:07:57.64
else that may have been new,
00:07:57.65\00:07:58.75
it maybe new to lot of
people at home actually
00:07:58.99\00:08:01.20
as well does you
probably heard it before,
00:08:01.21\00:08:03.09
but that hell, hell is
not in the center of the
00:08:03.41\00:08:06.00
earth, but we learn
that the Bible says in
00:08:06.01\00:08:07.47
Revelation Chapter
20 that hell is where?
00:08:07.48\00:08:09.10
On the earth, it's
actually on the earth and it's
00:08:10.40\00:08:12.08
gonna happen and so
it's not taking place right
00:08:12.09\00:08:14.17
now because you
don't see anything,
00:08:14.18\00:08:15.81
any fire and brimstone
burning people up right now
00:08:15.82\00:08:18.13
do we? But it says the
wicked are destroyed the
00:08:18.14\00:08:20.46
second death, and
they're going to be destroyed
00:08:20.47\00:08:22.59
on this earth. The
fire is gonna rain down from
00:08:22.90\00:08:24.63
God and devour
them here on this earth.
00:08:24.64\00:08:26.31
So, they're gonna be
devoured and you remember,
00:08:26.40\00:08:28.05
you remember what we
figured out about the
00:08:28.06\00:08:29.13
word devour, right? Like one,
00:08:29.14\00:08:31.06
when the Bible says
that God devours the
00:08:31.29\00:08:32.66
wicked right with
the fire, devouring what
00:08:32.67\00:08:35.81
that is, it means
they never be anymore.
00:08:35.82\00:08:37.42
Yeah, we went to Taco
Bell and we ate burritos
00:08:37.58\00:08:39.78
and they were just
gone, they were devoured
00:08:39.79\00:08:41.28
no more. And than we
went from that on to Job
00:08:41.45\00:08:46.37
and we figured out
that the Job says that
00:08:46.71\00:08:48.45
the wicked are reserved, Job 21.
00:08:48.62\00:08:50.61
The wicked are reserved
until the Day of Judgment.
00:08:50.76\00:08:53.76
In other words He
put in either holding,
00:08:53.77\00:08:55.24
they have been held
and where they held at,
00:08:55.25\00:08:56.99
in the grave they are
waiting, because He says
00:08:57.49\00:08:59.05
He's gonna bring
them forth at that day and
00:08:59.06\00:09:01.66
then they're gonna be
destroyed in the fires
00:09:01.67\00:09:02.98
of hell. And then
we found out that, that
00:09:02.99\00:09:04.54
the Bible also says
in 2nd Peter Chapter 3
00:09:04.55\00:09:06.44
and verse 7 it says
the same thing again.
00:09:06.45\00:09:08.52
The wicked are
reserved to the fire and God's
00:09:08.98\00:09:11.23
gonna destroy them
in fire. And then my
00:09:11.24\00:09:13.88
favorite text in the
Bible as far as dealing
00:09:13.89\00:09:15.80
with this, if you are
ever just like in a place
00:09:15.81\00:09:18.71
and someone has
confront you and they says
00:09:19.47\00:09:21.84
hey I believe that
hell last for ever and ever
00:09:21.93\00:09:24.78
and sinners are in
hell forever and sinner live
00:09:24.79\00:09:26.62
forever in hell, like
you dealt with that right.
00:09:26.63\00:09:29.11
What's the simplest
text in all the Bible that
00:09:29.45\00:09:31.84
repeats that. John 3:16
is powerful text isn't it?
00:09:32.05\00:09:35.85
Jesus himself is
speaking and Jesus says hey
00:09:35.98\00:09:38.39
you got two options,
those who believe in me
00:09:38.63\00:09:41.39
will not perish, but
have everlasting life.
00:09:41.70\00:09:45.87
So, the two options
that Jesus gives to,
00:09:46.35\00:09:48.32
to us, to any of us
human beings and Him
00:09:48.57\00:09:50.68
speaking Himself,
that's His words is the wicked
00:09:50.69\00:09:53.26
will perish to be no
more, to be nonexistent
00:09:53.27\00:09:56.35
that's what perishing
is, or the righteous has
00:09:56.36\00:09:58.99
eternal life. You
don't find anywhere in the
00:09:59.00\00:10:01.39
Bible, like there is
not a text anywhere that
00:10:01.40\00:10:03.07
says the wicked
have eternal life.
00:10:03.08\00:10:04.47
You don't have
anything that says oh! Yeah,
00:10:05.28\00:10:06.73
the wicked are
gonna live forever.
00:10:06.74\00:10:08.19
What you do have and
we're gonna back to that,
00:10:09.33\00:10:12.04
we're gonna touch on
it again here as we get
00:10:12.05\00:10:13.39
in this next part of the study.
00:10:13.40\00:10:14.54
In Revelation
Chapter 14 where it says that
00:10:14.73\00:10:17.00
there is smoke of
their torment ascendeth up
00:10:17.01\00:10:18.83
for ever and ever.
And let us just hit that
00:10:18.84\00:10:20.43
text real quick here,
because we did look at
00:10:20.44\00:10:22.55
that then we decided
we will go through the
00:10:22.56\00:10:24.69
Bible and find out
what the term for ever
00:10:24.70\00:10:27.39
and ever meant,
you remember that?
00:10:27.40\00:10:28.88
And for those of you
at home if you're thinking
00:10:29.69\00:10:32.14
well he's going awful
fast, and I don't really
00:10:32.21\00:10:33.95
believe what he
saying is true you got to get
00:10:33.96\00:10:35.67
the first CD or DVD or
the watch the first half
00:10:35.68\00:10:39.12
of this study and
then you will understand
00:10:39.13\00:10:40.97
why we're just,
why we're saying,
00:10:40.98\00:10:42.82
what we're saying?
In another words we
00:10:42.83\00:10:45.13
already covered the
text that prove what we're
00:10:45.32\00:10:47.26
saying, you just have
to go back and watch the
00:10:47.27\00:10:50.10
first video to see what
all this, what all this is
00:10:50.11\00:10:52.45
about everything like
that. So, if you're really
00:10:52.46\00:10:54.51
frustrated with me
right now and you're screaming
00:10:54.52\00:10:55.92
at me through your
TV and you're saying how
00:10:55.93\00:10:57.62
can he say that the
wicked don't live forever
00:10:57.63\00:10:59.32
in hell. You need to
see the first part of the
00:10:59.33\00:11:01.12
study, so don't
get mad and walk away,
00:11:01.13\00:11:02.81
go and watch the
first part of the study.
00:11:02.93\00:11:04.35
We'll look at Revelation
Chapter 14 and verse 11
00:11:04.65\00:11:06.54
speaking of the
wicked it says: The smoke of
00:11:06.76\00:11:10.20
their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever.
00:11:10.21\00:11:12.06
Now does it say that
the people are living for
00:11:12.99\00:11:14.76
ever and ever? No.
Now, that is interesting it
00:11:14.77\00:11:17.29
just says the
smoke of their torment,
00:11:17.30\00:11:18.53
ascendeth up for ever and ever.
00:11:19.38\00:11:20.36
And I heard a guy
one time and it's very
00:11:20.37\00:11:21.54
interesting because
the way it's written you
00:11:21.55\00:11:23.22
really don't know how
we are referencing here.
00:11:23.23\00:11:25.39
Is it referencing
acts of the people who are
00:11:25.64\00:11:27.04
living for ever and
ever and having the smoke
00:11:27.05\00:11:28.63
of their torment
ascendeth up all that time,
00:11:28.64\00:11:30.29
or have you ever
been like out somewhere.
00:11:30.59\00:11:32.40
And you see way off
in a distance you see
00:11:33.31\00:11:35.70
smoke is ascending
up way up high and what
00:11:35.71\00:11:37.71
do you know when you
see that way off in a
00:11:37.72\00:11:38.86
distance somewhere that
is a fire out there right.
00:11:38.87\00:11:40.72
And the smoke you
see it ascend up goes out
00:11:40.93\00:11:42.66
of sight. You've ever
seen a fire or something
00:11:42.67\00:11:44.73
like that we just
see the smoke going up
00:11:44.74\00:11:46.05
and it seems like it
goes out of sight you know
00:11:46.06\00:11:47.93
it disappears into
the clouds or whatever,
00:11:47.94\00:11:49.58
a real big flame.
What you can say the smoke
00:11:49.86\00:11:52.11
was ascending up
for ever and ever?
00:11:52.12\00:11:53.32
In other words the
direction not the length
00:11:53.38\00:11:55.83
of how long it's
going, but just like how high
00:11:55.84\00:11:57.89
it's going, you know
it can mean that as well.
00:11:57.90\00:12:00.00
And remember we
discovered that it's
00:12:00.86\00:12:02.49
very, very
dangerous to take one text and
00:12:02.50\00:12:05.42
say no, no this says
that they live for ever
00:12:05.43\00:12:07.46
and ever in hell, but it
doesn't say that in text,
00:12:07.47\00:12:09.36
especially in
comparison with other texts like
00:12:10.37\00:12:12.41
what Jesus Himself
says that they'll be
00:12:12.42\00:12:14.48
perished, they'll be
destroyed and we looked
00:12:14.49\00:12:16.88
at many text that
say these very things.
00:12:16.89\00:12:18.58
And we actually went
in from this point here
00:12:19.10\00:12:21.34
after we look at
this text it says that:
00:12:21.68\00:12:23.43
The smoke of their
torment ascends up for ever
00:12:24.51\00:12:26.68
and ever: and they
have no rest day or night,
00:12:26.69\00:12:30.17
who worship the
beast in his image,
00:12:30.24\00:12:31.66
and whoever receives
the mark of his name.
00:12:32.03\00:12:33.98
So the people that
receive the mark of beast,
00:12:34.99\00:12:37.47
they are tortured,
they are tormented in
00:12:38.31\00:12:39.91
the flames, right?
And the smoke of their
00:12:39.92\00:12:41.80
torment ascends
up for ever and ever.
00:12:41.81\00:12:43.16
Well, you know the
Bible's give us examples
00:12:43.49\00:12:45.85
of people that
suffered the eternal fire
00:12:46.30\00:12:49.28
for ever and
ever. And one of them we
00:12:49.29\00:12:51.75
went to, we went to
couple of text in the
00:12:51.76\00:12:52.73
Old Testament, you
can find them in the study
00:12:52.74\00:12:56.00
notes you can
download them online study
00:12:56.01\00:12:57.50
notes for the
study guide as well.
00:12:57.51\00:12:59.20
I just reference them
right now because we're
00:12:59.86\00:13:01.13
just reviewing. But
there were some text in the
00:13:01.14\00:13:03.11
Old Testament
talking about things that
00:13:03.12\00:13:05.00
happened to people
forever like Samuel went
00:13:05.01\00:13:06.83
and served in the
house to Lord forever,
00:13:06.84\00:13:08.31
1 Samuel 1:22 says
that, he went to serve in
00:13:08.50\00:13:10.74
the house Lord
forever, but he's not serving
00:13:10.75\00:13:12.69
there today. And we
discover that that when
00:13:12.70\00:13:14.18
you look at the
original meaning of these words
00:13:14.19\00:13:16.55
and stuff it can
mean for indefinite period
00:13:16.56\00:13:18.49
of time. We actually
do the same thing today.
00:13:18.50\00:13:20.52
I went to play
golf the other day,
00:13:25.62\00:13:26.70
and like on the third
hole it took me forever to
00:13:27.33\00:13:30.38
finish that hole, did I
finish it? Yeah, but was
00:13:30.39\00:13:35.87
it forever literally?
No, and so we do the same
00:13:35.88\00:13:38.52
thing we use our
terminology today even our
00:13:38.53\00:13:40.63
like English
language. We can use the term
00:13:40.64\00:13:42.40
forever doesn't
necessarily mean to the
00:13:42.41\00:13:44.54
ceaseless ages
of eternity, right?
00:13:44.55\00:13:46.41
It can also mean an
indefinite period of time
00:13:47.16\00:13:49.13
like it took a long
time but it finally,
00:13:49.14\00:13:50.65
it finally ran out,
it was finally done.
00:13:51.08\00:13:52.46
And so we do the
same thing today,
00:13:53.28\00:13:54.92
and they have done
that than when they wrote
00:13:55.15\00:13:56.65
that. Of course, it
doesn't mean that Samuel
00:13:56.66\00:13:58.81
was gonna be in the
house of Lord serving
00:13:58.82\00:14:01.01
forever, I meant until he died.
00:14:01.02\00:14:02.42
And it's the same way
today and it's interesting
00:14:03.87\00:14:05.95
too when you look at
the, like the Greek word
00:14:05.96\00:14:08.24
there that we have,
and I'm not all into
00:14:08.25\00:14:10.36
studying Greek and all
that kind of stuff to be
00:14:10.53\00:14:11.93
able to understand
the Bible. Sometimes you
00:14:11.94\00:14:13.14
have to go look get
your concordance you know,
00:14:13.15\00:14:15.51
get the concordance,
and look at the original
00:14:15.71\00:14:16.80
meaning of the word
or something like that,
00:14:16.81\00:14:18.23
but its interesting
because the word for ever
00:14:18.62\00:14:19.99
and ever it's like,
it's the same term we
00:14:20.00\00:14:22.59
would use if we
said eon and eons.
00:14:22.60\00:14:24.34
You know you've
heard the terms eon before,
00:14:24.86\00:14:26.43
right? That's just like
indefinite period of time.
00:14:26.44\00:14:28.73
I was there for eons,
alright. And so the term
00:14:29.46\00:14:32.45
use that simple can
mean, it can mean it
00:14:32.46\00:14:34.53
through the ceaseless
ages, in another words
00:14:35.94\00:14:36.92
never ending. But it
can also mean the same
00:14:36.93\00:14:39.44
word it can mean even
in their language until
00:14:39.45\00:14:42.28
the end of an age and
that's actually one of
00:14:42.29\00:14:43.70
the definitions there
until the end of an age.
00:14:43.71\00:14:45.76
And so the wicked will
suffer until they burn up,
00:14:46.41\00:14:50.23
alright and how do
I know that, well I am
00:14:51.22\00:14:53.01
marking spouting out
a whole bunch of things
00:14:53.02\00:14:54.74
but how do I know that
for sure because we look
00:14:54.76\00:14:57.19
at the Bible. Now I'm
going to go back to the
00:14:57.20\00:14:58.55
screen here, back to
our text because we're
00:14:58.56\00:15:00.04
gonna pick up. We
left off in Jude Chapter 1
00:15:00.05\00:15:02.59
and verse 7. I'm
gonna read it again because
00:15:02.60\00:15:04.20
if you're in the
book of Revelation,
00:15:04.21\00:15:05.41
all you have do is
back up one book and go
00:15:05.69\00:15:07.17
to the book of
Jude, get back one book in
00:15:07.18\00:15:08.68
your Bible, the book of Jude.
00:15:08.69\00:15:10.04
If you get to the
little John's 1st,
00:15:11.74\00:15:13.18
2nd and 3rd you went
to far because Jude is
00:15:13.19\00:15:14.88
just one Chapter
long and God gave us an
00:15:14.89\00:15:16.95
example. Now
remember in Revelation we just
00:15:16.96\00:15:19.13
read that the wicked
are gonna, they're gonna
00:15:19.14\00:15:21.70
suffer, right? The
fire and the smoke of the
00:15:21.93\00:15:24.32
torment goes up for
how long? Forever or for
00:15:24.33\00:15:26.65
eternity or eternally,
right? Can you say that?
00:15:26.66\00:15:28.97
Now, look here what
happen in the book of Jude
00:15:30.21\00:15:31.94
verse 7. Jude is only
one Chapter just go to
00:15:32.46\00:15:34.75
verse 7. Even as
Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:15:34.76\00:15:37.20
now most people know
about Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:15:37.55\00:15:39.52
if they studied in
and out of Bible they know
00:15:39.88\00:15:41.45
Sodom and Gomorrah
what happened there
00:15:41.46\00:15:43.03
with the story, right?
Fire came down and rain
00:15:43.04\00:15:44.48
upon them, what just
sticks on your mind about
00:15:44.49\00:15:46.55
Sodom and Gomorrah
more than anything.
00:15:46.56\00:15:47.84
Lots wife she turned
to pillar of salt, right.
00:15:48.08\00:15:50.86
And the cities
around them in like manner,
00:15:51.50\00:15:53.32
giving themselves
over to fornication,
00:15:53.43\00:15:54.74
going after strange
flesh, are set forth as
00:15:54.75\00:15:57.15
an example. They are an example,
00:15:57.16\00:16:00.54
suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire,
00:16:01.83\00:16:05.46
fascinating point isn't
it? What kind of fire did
00:16:06.23\00:16:08.37
they suffer? Eternal,
so that means that they're
00:16:08.38\00:16:10.47
burning today. Now, we
cover this in the last one,
00:16:10.48\00:16:13.02
but I'm gonna
touch on it again, right?
00:16:13.03\00:16:14.24
They are burning
today aren't they?
00:16:14.30\00:16:15.27
No, where are they are
according what we found
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.16
out the last
study? Yeah you are right,
00:16:17.17\00:16:20.94
what we call the Dead Sea today,
00:16:21.42\00:16:22.47
do you know
something interesting?
00:16:22.53\00:16:23.57
I want to bring this
out and I forgot to do,
00:16:23.95\00:16:25.08
that's what one of
the reason I was back to
00:16:25.43\00:16:26.40
us as well. The saltiest,
most mineral filled body
00:16:26.41\00:16:30.91
of water that you
find in world today is the
00:16:30.92\00:16:33.23
Dead Sea, isn't it
fascinating that Lot's wife
00:16:33.24\00:16:34.86
is turn to pillar of
salt there. I just think that,
00:16:34.87\00:16:38.13
it's like neat little
thing there to look at,
00:16:38.25\00:16:39.91
and what else
do they find there?
00:16:40.06\00:16:41.08
You don't find
anywhere else in the world,
00:16:41.09\00:16:42.18
there are little sulfur
balls, right, because the
00:16:43.16\00:16:44.88
Bible says fire and
brimstone rained out from
00:16:44.89\00:16:46.51
God out of heaven.
And today that place all
00:16:46.52\00:16:48.79
around the Dead Sea
there are different places
00:16:48.80\00:16:50.19
around it, you can
find embedded in the rock,
00:16:50.20\00:16:52.38
embedded in the
bank, and things like that
00:16:52.39\00:16:53.84
those little sulfur
balls. You can't find anywhere
00:16:53.85\00:16:55.83
else in the world, it
kind of gives the lot of
00:16:55.84\00:16:57.58
validity to the
scriptures, doesn't it.
00:16:57.59\00:16:59.11
And so, are they burning today.
00:16:59.59\00:17:00.81
But now wait a
minute, the Bible says
00:17:01.62\00:17:04.02
eternal fire they got
to be burning still today
00:17:04.03\00:17:06.85
because that's what
eternal mean isn't it
00:17:06.86\00:17:08.23
forever. Yeah, it means forever,
00:17:08.31\00:17:12.03
completely whatever,
but they're not burning
00:17:12.04\00:17:14.07
today. So either we
have a big problem, right?
00:17:14.08\00:17:18.32
God's word is not true
or we're misunderstanding
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.47
what He is actually
saying, you follow that?
00:17:21.48\00:17:24.77
And I think the
problem, just a guess I'm not
00:17:25.39\00:17:27.84
sure but if you take in
general I would guess the
00:17:27.85\00:17:30.29
problem probably
lies with us, right?
00:17:30.30\00:17:32.83
About 10 out of 10
times if there seems to be
00:17:32.84\00:17:34.57
contradiction in the scripture,
00:17:34.66\00:17:35.70
the contradiction is
probably the result of us
00:17:36.24\00:17:37.70
not understanding, no actually,
00:17:37.71\00:17:39.51
definitely would be the case.
00:17:39.77\00:17:40.85
And so we find in
Revelation, the smoke of
00:17:41.71\00:17:44.23
their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever.
00:17:44.24\00:17:45.76
Many people understand
that the wicked burned,
00:17:46.62\00:17:48.75
literally burned
for ever and ever.
00:17:48.76\00:17:50.30
That's what we
understand that happens to
00:17:50.59\00:17:51.69
the wicked they
actually burned from the
00:17:51.70\00:17:52.93
ceaseless ages of
eternity. But now we find in
00:17:52.94\00:17:55.34
the Bible that the
Sodom and Gomorrah was
00:17:55.35\00:17:56.96
burned with eternal
fire, and this eternal fire
00:17:56.97\00:18:00.56
is not burning today. So, how do
00:18:00.57\00:18:02.29
we bring this all together then?
00:18:02.30\00:18:03.39
Well let's go to our
next text, our next text
00:18:05.13\00:18:06.87
here is found in 2nd
Peter Chapter 2 and verse 6
00:18:06.88\00:18:11.47
Remember we looked in Jude 7,
00:18:12.38\00:18:14.50
we looked in the Bible
says in Jude 7 that they
00:18:14.51\00:18:18.32
suffered as an
example the vengeance of
00:18:18.33\00:18:20.51
eternal fire. Who
is this example for?
00:18:20.52\00:18:22.88
Okay, Jude 7 well
actually let's find out what
00:18:24.02\00:18:25.83
the Bible says. Well,
some of the people here
00:18:25.84\00:18:27.84
in class said us, but
this example who is it for?
00:18:27.85\00:18:30.49
You got it right
there I think 2nd Peter 2:6
00:18:32.52\00:18:34.46
who has it ready
to read right now?
00:18:34.47\00:18:35.79
I want to get
somebody right on this front
00:18:36.10\00:18:37.19
row here, 2nd Peter Chapter 2,
00:18:37.20\00:18:39.67
I'm gonna find it
myself, give me a second to
00:18:39.68\00:18:41.00
find it. Tom you
want to go ahead and read
00:18:41.01\00:18:42.75
it again. Let me get
there 2nd Peter Chapter 2.
00:18:42.76\00:18:45.12
If I can't get there
fast enough then I'm sure
00:18:46.59\00:18:48.51
the people at home
might get there either,
00:18:48.52\00:18:49.69
someone would be
saying I beat you.
00:18:50.58\00:18:51.78
Yeah 2nd Peter 2:6,
yeah that the folks at
00:18:52.19\00:18:54.40
home can try to like,
get there before we do.
00:18:54.41\00:18:56.54
Go ahead and read
it. Now, we just look at
00:18:58.20\00:18:59.61
Jude verse 7 and
it talked about as
00:19:00.21\00:19:03.60
Sodom and Gomorrah are examples,
00:19:03.61\00:19:05.05
who are they
example for and that's
00:19:05.15\00:19:06.88
what we're answering now.
00:19:06.89\00:19:07.86
"And turning the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
00:19:09.16\00:19:12.14
into ashes,
condemned them to destruction,
00:19:12.15\00:19:15.76
making them an
example to those who
00:19:16.37\00:19:18.83
afterward would live ungodly".
00:19:18.84\00:19:21.05
So Sodom and Gomorrah
is an example for who?
00:19:21.20\00:19:22.93
Those who
afterward would live ungodly.
00:19:24.48\00:19:26.46
Now what happened
to those that afterward
00:19:27.02\00:19:29.21
lived ungodly?
What's gonna happen to them
00:19:29.22\00:19:31.08
according what
we've been studying?
00:19:31.09\00:19:32.06
They're gonna go
to the fires, right?
00:19:32.79\00:19:34.07
So if the people if
the Sodom and Gomorrah
00:19:34.66\00:19:37.51
as the example, if
they are the example of
00:19:37.52\00:19:40.13
what's gonna happen
to those who were living
00:19:40.14\00:19:41.28
ungodly now. What happened to
00:19:41.29\00:19:43.05
Sodom and Gomorrah?
They were destroyed,
00:19:43.06\00:19:45.55
do you see how
that fits together.
00:19:45.56\00:19:46.57
I mean this is the
real good part of the study
00:19:47.19\00:19:48.67
that you wanna
emphasize when you get to this,
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.15
when you're giving a study.
00:19:50.16\00:19:51.13
The very fact that
the Bible teaches us that
00:19:51.53\00:19:53.61
Sodom and Gomorrah
was destroyed and that
00:19:53.62\00:19:55.99
is an example, an
example what's gonna happen
00:19:56.00\00:19:58.15
to the wicked?
Alright, so if I say
00:19:58.16\00:20:01.98
something as an
example of something else
00:20:01.99\00:20:03.85
what's that
telling you when you watch
00:20:04.57\00:20:05.73
whenever I
explain something to you?
00:20:06.32\00:20:07.31
This is what will be like right.
00:20:07.64\00:20:09.20
And so God says this
is what is gonna be like.
00:20:09.52\00:20:10.99
The wicked are gonna
suffer the same thing that
00:20:11.21\00:20:12.68
Sodom and Gomorrah had suffered,
00:20:12.69\00:20:13.73
and what did they
suffered from, eternal fire,
00:20:13.74\00:20:16.71
are they still burning?
00:20:17.12\00:20:18.09
No, you know I
just realize something.
00:20:18.59\00:20:20.84
I'm holding all you
guys responsible right here
00:20:22.06\00:20:23.62
this class right now.
I never really want to
00:20:23.63\00:20:26.83
open up the Bible and
study the Bible without
00:20:26.84\00:20:28.24
praying first,
and I've told you guys
00:20:28.25\00:20:30.04
if I forgot to do
that then you would go like
00:20:30.05\00:20:31.84
this to remind me to
pray. And so it's all your fault
00:20:31.85\00:20:34.49
I'm gonna blame you
right, I'll play the devil,
00:20:34.50\00:20:36.41
the devil, not the
devil's advocate just the devil
00:20:36.42\00:20:38.10
here, just blame somebody else
00:20:38.11\00:20:39.45
for my problem
Adam and Eve right,
00:20:39.46\00:20:40.67
shame on me shall I just ask.
00:20:42.07\00:20:43.29
So I will tell
what we're gonna do?
00:20:43.61\00:20:44.58
Right now we're gonna
pray that God will help
00:20:44.59\00:20:45.98
us through this study
and you know I feel like
00:20:45.99\00:20:48.97
I've been rushed and
maybe other reason I do
00:20:48.98\00:20:50.75
is because I've haven't asked
00:20:50.76\00:20:52.55
God to be with us right now.
00:20:52.56\00:20:54.19
So let us bow our
heads just for minute.
00:20:54.20\00:20:55.62
Lord Jesus, sorry
about getting ahead of
00:20:56.91\00:20:58.95
everything here
and not taking sometime
00:20:58.96\00:21:00.84
seeking your
guidance and your help.
00:21:00.85\00:21:02.24
I pray right now,
you'll give us understanding
00:21:03.11\00:21:04.86
of your word. If people at home
00:21:04.87\00:21:06.95
who are watching
this or listening to this,
00:21:06.96\00:21:08.58
wherever they are?
Your sweet spirit in
00:21:08.59\00:21:10.98
their minds, in
their hearts, may you fill
00:21:10.99\00:21:12.42
them and give us all
understanding you want
00:21:12.43\00:21:14.64
us to have I pray
in Jesus name, amen.
00:21:14.65\00:21:16.94
Alright, I feel better now after
00:21:17.55\00:21:19.17
talking with the Lord.
You know the Bible says
00:21:19.18\00:21:21.33
spiritual things
are? Yeah, and so if you
00:21:21.34\00:21:23.83
don't seek the
spirit of God you won't
00:21:23.84\00:21:25.00
understand it
through His understanding.
00:21:25.01\00:21:27.24
Your own or
actually maybe the devil will
00:21:28.05\00:21:30.06
come in there, right,
so devil will help you
00:21:30.07\00:21:32.33
understand the
Bible in his own way.
00:21:32.34\00:21:33.83
So we want God to help us
understand, not the devil.
00:21:34.32\00:21:36.22
Alright, so we found
out here 2nd Peter 2:6
00:21:36.89\00:21:39.13
tells us that the
wicked are gonna just be
00:21:39.14\00:21:41.88
overthrown, they
gonna have the same result
00:21:42.97\00:21:45.45
as what happen to
those of have been ungodly in
00:21:45.46\00:21:47.08
Sodom and Gomorrah.
And then it says in the
00:21:47.09\00:21:48.95
cities around about
them. There is something else
00:21:48.96\00:21:51.95
interesting about this
as we go, as we go onto
00:21:51.96\00:21:54.55
the next text here
Revelation Chapter 20
00:21:54.56\00:21:56.63
and verse 14, we'll get
to those cities I'm sorry
00:21:56.91\00:21:58.69
wait a minute,
Revelation 20 verse 14.
00:21:58.70\00:22:00.68
Revelation 20:14,
Sodom and Gomorrah
00:22:05.96\00:22:08.71
was an example and
I want you to notice
00:22:08.72\00:22:11.23
what Revelation 20
and verse 14 says about
00:22:11.40\00:22:14.13
the wicked and hell?
It's a pretty powerful
00:22:14.14\00:22:17.67
text and I think
because of our cameraman
00:22:17.68\00:22:20.52
where he standing at
right now, is going to
00:22:20.53\00:22:21.81
be pointing in this
direction, so we need to
00:22:21.82\00:22:23.57
get somebody over
here to read next and
00:22:23.58\00:22:25.31
somebody hasn't read
yet, is there anybody
00:22:25.32\00:22:27.47
here that hasn't read
like even at there are first
00:22:27.48\00:22:29.85
study on the
structure of the wicked.
00:22:29.86\00:22:31.37
No, Danielle I
knew you would be ready
00:22:31.38\00:22:34.50
sister; you got
your Bible text ready?
00:22:34.51\00:22:36.29
Alright, pick the microphone up,
00:22:37.03\00:22:38.10
give us a nice
pretty smile, talk nice and
00:22:38.43\00:22:39.93
loud, look at the
camera and look at me
00:22:39.94\00:22:41.83
something like that as you read.
00:22:41.84\00:22:42.83
And death and hell were
cast into the lake of fire.
00:22:44.43\00:22:46.88
This is the second death.
00:22:48.47\00:22:49.44
Now, what does it mean to die?
00:22:49.90\00:22:53.26
It's a session of life, right.
00:22:55.28\00:22:56.45
Can you die and still be alive?
00:22:56.98\00:22:58.63
No. No, so it says
here that the wicked
00:22:59.68\00:23:02.08
are gonna be cast in
the hell or actually let us
00:23:02.34\00:23:04.60
read in the context
death and hell were cast
00:23:04.61\00:23:06.93
into the lake of fire
and this being the second
00:23:06.94\00:23:09.91
death, the second
death. So, can you die the
00:23:09.92\00:23:12.57
second death
and continue living.
00:23:12.58\00:23:13.91
If there is a second
death what there must
00:23:15.27\00:23:16.63
first have to
be? The first death,
00:23:16.64\00:23:19.50
so you know we all die
at first death, don't we?
00:23:19.51\00:23:21.63
Not all as in all
because the Bible says that some
00:23:22.53\00:23:24.74
people be alive
when Jesus comes,
00:23:24.75\00:23:26.07
they'll be alive, they
will be caught up to be
00:23:26.08\00:23:27.40
with him in the
air. And then right you
00:23:27.41\00:23:29.26
read in Thessalonians
there right, the book of
00:23:29.27\00:23:31.75
Thessalonians. But
now this says here,
00:23:31.76\00:23:33.94
that death and hell are
cast into the lake of fire
00:23:34.20\00:23:37.02
which is the
second eternal life.
00:23:37.03\00:23:39.20
Death, right so
there is a second death.
00:23:41.24\00:23:44.42
Now, you're gonna find
out as we go through as
00:23:44.74\00:23:46.06
we keep going that
there is no coming back
00:23:46.07\00:23:47.83
from the second
death. You know, some people
00:23:47.84\00:23:50.45
get to come back from
the first death right,
00:23:50.46\00:23:51.81
actually everybody
does. The Bible says there are
00:23:52.15\00:23:54.27
two resurrections and
the next study I believe
00:23:54.28\00:23:58.24
Aleeda is the one
giving a next study you'll
00:23:58.25\00:23:59.87
discover that they,
that they are all about two
00:23:59.88\00:24:02.34
resurrections in the
Bible we will be talking
00:24:02.35\00:24:03.91
about that, but you have
the death coming to life again.
00:24:03.92\00:24:07.17
We know that and
so some of those dead,
00:24:08.57\00:24:11.62
some of those will die again.
00:24:11.63\00:24:13.73
And that will come
little bit later on in the
00:24:14.78\00:24:17.59
next study later we
will be covering that.
00:24:17.60\00:24:18.80
But we will notice
here again that there is a
00:24:18.81\00:24:20.85
second death, not a
second eternal life,
00:24:20.86\00:24:25.51
but a second death.
Let us carry on now,
00:24:27.51\00:24:30.55
we're gonna find out
from the words of Jesus
00:24:30.87\00:24:32.15
Himself, He talks
about both of these deaths.
00:24:32.16\00:24:33.96
Now, I messed
up my slides again,
00:24:35.12\00:24:36.75
the guy in a
trailer is going crazy.
00:24:36.76\00:24:38.21
Matthew Chapter 10
verse 28, the 13th text
00:24:38.88\00:24:42.77
in the study and so
you'll get to Matthew
00:24:42.78\00:24:44.83
Chapter 10 and verse
28. Now, I wanna make a
00:24:44.84\00:24:48.55
point here, maybe some
of you don't know about
00:24:48.68\00:24:50.77
or haven't done this
yet, it has to do with the
00:24:50.78\00:24:53.71
Bible marking. If
you don't have room
00:24:53.72\00:24:55.93
to mark like so you
get to Matthew Chapter 10
00:24:56.25\00:24:58.59
and verse 28 and
there is no place to really
00:24:58.60\00:25:00.89
mark the study you
know, you can't find a
00:25:00.90\00:25:03.55
room in you Bible to mark it.
00:25:04.20\00:25:05.44
One of the things I
do in my Bible and you
00:25:06.05\00:25:07.79
can do it in yours as
well it's really helpful
00:25:07.80\00:25:10.12
and I have actually
done that with this one
00:25:10.63\00:25:11.96
here, I want you
get a close up on it
00:25:11.97\00:25:13.13
but I don't think you can.
00:25:13.34\00:25:14.31
But right at
the end of verse 28,
00:25:14.32\00:25:15.62
I didn't have room to
write in like the text
00:25:15.63\00:25:17.44
that I was gonna
have, having to write it in.
00:25:17.45\00:25:19.04
So, I just put a little
circle with the dot there
00:25:19.45\00:25:21.13
and then I went
somewhere else in the
00:25:22.63\00:25:24.15
Bible like down here to bottom.
00:25:24.16\00:25:25.88
And let me see
here where is that,
00:25:27.11\00:25:29.48
sorry about that Scott,
I turn where you can't get
00:25:29.96\00:25:31.54
a video of it.
So, here, its in the
00:25:31.55\00:25:34.60
middle over here, I
got little circle with
00:25:34.61\00:25:36.38
the dot in it where
I'd room to write it
00:25:36.39\00:25:38.83
and then I wrote
the text in there.
00:25:39.16\00:25:40.21
So, you go to
Matthew 10:28 it's down here
00:25:40.86\00:25:42.49
I don't have room to
write it, I just put a little
00:25:42.50\00:25:43.98
circle with the dot,
usually have to put a
00:25:43.99\00:25:45.26
circle with the
dot. Then you got
00:25:45.27\00:25:46.61
somewhere else on
that page, and you make
00:25:46.62\00:25:48.64
another little circle
with the dot or something
00:25:48.65\00:25:50.16
like that and you write
in there the text so you
00:25:50.17\00:25:52.67
know where to go to,
see you have room to write,
00:25:52.68\00:25:54.35
does that make
sense? So as you marking up
00:25:54.36\00:25:55.93
your Bibles and you
need to be marking up
00:25:55.94\00:25:57.49
your Bibles there
at home, as you marking
00:25:57.50\00:25:59.29
up your Bibles, so
get the Bible study.
00:25:59.30\00:26:00.93
Then, what you need to
make sure, you do as if
00:26:01.33\00:26:03.20
you don't have room,
you can just put a little
00:26:03.21\00:26:04.34
star there or little
circle or something like that
00:26:04.35\00:26:06.67
put it again
somewhere else on the page and
00:26:06.97\00:26:08.28
write a text in
there, does that make sense.
00:26:08.29\00:26:10.38
If he got about
half marked up with your
00:26:11.07\00:26:12.41
Bibles and things
like that you're saying
00:26:12.42\00:26:13.62
oh! Now, he tells me.
But that's a good way of
00:26:13.63\00:26:16.98
doing that and I
think Scott kind of showed
00:26:16.99\00:26:18.50
that in the first
day there little bit,
00:26:18.51\00:26:19.76
he talked about
that some but just as a
00:26:19.77\00:26:21.38
reminder it
makes a little easier.
00:26:21.39\00:26:22.92
So, the next text
we're looking at is Matthew
00:26:23.45\00:26:25.32
10:28, these is the
words of Jesus again
00:26:25.33\00:26:27.30
and look at the two
options the words of Jesus.
00:26:27.82\00:26:30.14
Have you ever
heard somebody say this?
00:26:30.87\00:26:32.11
Where your souls
are immortal you know.
00:26:33.24\00:26:34.38
Look what Jesus says 10:28,
who's gonna read that one?
00:26:36.94\00:26:41.37
Okay, Aneeda, Matthew
Chapter 10 and verse 28.
00:26:43.63\00:26:48.84
And fear not them
which kill the body,
00:26:50.68\00:26:52.78
but are not able to kill
the soul: but rather fear
00:26:53.51\00:26:56.81
him which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.
00:26:56.82\00:27:01.00
Oh! Think about
that, what does it say will
00:27:02.45\00:27:04.30
happen to the people
that are destroyed or
00:27:04.31\00:27:07.09
actually go to hell,
what's gonna happen to them?
00:27:07.10\00:27:08.56
Destroy, notice what
Jesus here once again
00:27:09.41\00:27:11.53
just like in Matthew
Chapter, or John 3:16
00:27:11.67\00:27:14.09
when Jesus says:
Perish or everlasting
00:27:14.24\00:27:15.54
life that was the
perfect opportunity for Him to
00:27:15.55\00:27:17.86
say everlasting life in
hell, everlasting life in
00:27:17.87\00:27:19.73
heaven, perfect opportunity,
00:27:19.74\00:27:20.96
but He doesn't, He says
perish or everlasting life.
00:27:21.18\00:27:23.72
Here once again he says
hey don't be afraid that
00:27:24.08\00:27:26.17
the people they can
come up and they can
00:27:26.18\00:27:27.25
stick a knife to your
gurd, they can crucify
00:27:27.26\00:27:28.89
you or they can hang
you, they can flay your
00:27:28.90\00:27:30.46
skin off, whatever
it is they do to torture
00:27:30.47\00:27:32.08
Christians and kill
them right, they have done it
00:27:32.09\00:27:33.21
in the dark ages.
Don't be afraid of those
00:27:33.22\00:27:34.94
things, because that's
all they can do, once they
00:27:34.95\00:27:37.74
killed you can do nothing else,
00:27:37.75\00:27:38.72
but you need to fear,
but you need to fear is Him.
00:27:38.73\00:27:41.55
You need to have
love, and respect, and fear,
00:27:41.73\00:27:43.45
and honor Him, who
after He destroy the
00:27:43.46\00:27:45.94
body can completely
alienate you or destroy
00:27:45.95\00:27:49.09
you completely where?
In hell, notice it doesn't
00:27:49.10\00:27:53.11
say, you get to
live forever in hell,
00:27:53.12\00:27:54.25
but what happens in
hell? Destroy, where in the
00:27:54.26\00:27:58.68
world do people get
the idea that God is gonna
00:27:58.69\00:28:03.39
torture people in the
fires of hell through the
00:28:03.40\00:28:05.24
ceaseless ages of
eternity when you have
00:28:05.25\00:28:06.81
text after text it
says contrary to that.
00:28:06.82\00:28:08.52
Now, again somebody
is jumping up and down
00:28:09.18\00:28:10.82
shouting on the television.
00:28:10.83\00:28:11.80
What about it says eternal hell?
00:28:12.02\00:28:13.37
We've cover that,
the result is eternal.
00:28:13.72\00:28:17.36
God is a God of love;
He's not the tyrant that's
00:28:18.85\00:28:23.14
gonna put you for one,
the sins of one lifetime.
00:28:23.15\00:28:25.84
And then, then I've
heard people say this,
00:28:26.07\00:28:27.26
this is another
argument and so I'm gonna go
00:28:27.27\00:28:28.70
and bring up that
for teaching class,
00:28:28.71\00:28:30.04
I want to bring this
up. That people will say,
00:28:30.05\00:28:32.13
well you're making it
seem like that if all you
00:28:32.41\00:28:35.41
are gonna do is burn
up they might as well just
00:28:35.42\00:28:36.99
go ahead and live it
up and been live for the
00:28:37.00\00:28:39.29
devil everything
because if you don't,
00:28:39.30\00:28:40.59
if you don't, we have
to be suffering forever
00:28:40.60\00:28:42.06
then it doesn't
really matter, really.
00:28:42.07\00:28:43.97
You know there is
something; there is
00:28:44.74\00:28:45.82
something about us as humans.
00:28:45.83\00:28:47.11
If you just think
about this for minute,
00:28:47.58\00:28:49.40
what really scares you more?
00:28:50.15\00:28:51.16
Becoming
nonexistent, extinct, or living
00:28:54.79\00:28:58.76
forever, no matter what
kind of state you're in,
00:28:58.77\00:29:01.11
living forever
or becoming extinct,
00:29:01.12\00:29:02.52
what would scare you
more? Just think about it,
00:29:02.53\00:29:03.72
just for a minute,
just let your mind ponder
00:29:03.73\00:29:05.55
that for second.
Would you be more
00:29:05.56\00:29:09.60
afraid of just becoming
extinct or living forever
00:29:09.61\00:29:12.62
in some place, and
I want to make another
00:29:12.63\00:29:14.71
confession here I
can remember this.
00:29:14.72\00:29:15.99
I remember like
you know how our little
00:29:17.85\00:29:20.59
minds work as we grew
up and you develop and
00:29:20.60\00:29:22.91
you have your, just
the way you start believing
00:29:22.92\00:29:25.77
things based on
your environment, right?
00:29:25.78\00:29:27.49
And I remember
thinking; if God's really
00:29:27.62\00:29:29.65
God of love like
everybody says maybe
00:29:29.66\00:29:31.80
like I have been in hell
for say it a thousand years.
00:29:31.81\00:29:33.76
You got to say okay,
that's enough let him out.
00:29:34.33\00:29:35.62
If I am living
forever wouldn't God
00:29:37.47\00:29:38.52
eventually say
okay, okay alright this is
00:29:38.53\00:29:40.19
enough, this is
enough, come on, He has paid
00:29:40.20\00:29:42.63
for his sins, right?
And you know the wicked,
00:29:42.64\00:29:47.90
the wicked that
don't accept Christ pay for
00:29:48.95\00:29:51.97
their own sins
you know that, right?
00:29:51.98\00:29:53.44
But what about the righteous,
00:29:54.19\00:29:55.16
who paid for our sins? Did he?
00:29:56.28\00:29:59.38
Listen if the result of
sin is everlasting torture,
00:30:00.46\00:30:05.12
He did not pay for
your sins, because He's not
00:30:05.74\00:30:09.25
suffering today,
that He died on the cross,
00:30:09.26\00:30:12.60
He suffered, He
suffered the second death,
00:30:13.07\00:30:14.89
He like died for our
sins you follow that.
00:30:15.12\00:30:16.90
If the penalty for
sin is everlasting torture
00:30:17.41\00:30:19.75
and torment then
Christ did not pay for your
00:30:19.76\00:30:22.25
sins, because He's
not being tormented and
00:30:22.26\00:30:24.54
tortured today,
does that makes sense?
00:30:24.55\00:30:27.41
So again it takes
away when you think about
00:30:28.33\00:30:30.68
this teaching, it takes,
it's the Antichrist power
00:30:30.69\00:30:33.09
that mindset taking
the place of Jesus Christ,
00:30:33.10\00:30:35.77
it's making Him out
something that's not
00:30:35.78\00:30:37.63
true about Him,
but He paid for it..
00:30:37.64\00:30:39.82
So, we have, we have
so much evidence in the
00:30:41.82\00:30:43.91
scriptures that teach
us contrary to what people
00:30:43.92\00:30:47.12
commonly think
today. And of course you
00:30:47.13\00:30:48.96
remember the Bible
says, it is the broad road
00:30:48.97\00:30:50.86
that everybody is
gonna be on, oh yeah,
00:30:51.29\00:30:53.21
there's everybody
believes it, so it must be true.
00:30:53.22\00:30:54.77
Have you've ever been
tempted to think that?
00:30:55.16\00:30:57.03
Since everybody
believes it, it must be true.
00:30:57.29\00:30:59.05
How can these
brilliant theologians not
00:30:59.44\00:31:01.23
understand this and
these guys have been
00:31:01.24\00:31:02.91
through seminar and
everything they say the
00:31:02.92\00:31:04.23
same thing they must be right.
00:31:04.24\00:31:05.56
Now, listen to me
in the time of Jesus,
00:31:06.14\00:31:08.62
the brilliant theologians
was trying to kill Him,
00:31:09.12\00:31:11.76
where they right?
No, do you know what
00:31:13.09\00:31:15.34
the people were
saying. Well, how can they all
00:31:15.35\00:31:17.83
be wrong, they are
the ones who is living,
00:31:17.84\00:31:19.28
how can Jesus be right
and all of them be wrong?
00:31:19.61\00:31:21.02
People were wondering
the same thing and you
00:31:21.03\00:31:22.90
know what brilliant theologians
00:31:22.91\00:31:23.88
were saying in his
day. Why is it you believing
00:31:23.89\00:31:26.47
on Him, none of
us believe on Him?
00:31:26.48\00:31:27.78
So you can't go
about what the majority are
00:31:30.55\00:31:32.07
saying in teaching, you
have to go Thus saith the Lord.
00:31:32.08\00:31:34.33
Jesus come along, He
was giving in the Bible
00:31:34.58\00:31:36.57
and truth and the common people
00:31:36.58\00:31:38.54
accepted Him gladly, but
did the brilliant people?
00:31:38.55\00:31:40.68
No, and it's the
same thing going on today,
00:31:41.83\00:31:44.44
just because the
multitude believes
00:31:44.80\00:31:46.10
things to be a
certain way. If the Bible say
00:31:46.11\00:31:47.55
something different and I
know it's very hard to do,
00:31:47.56\00:31:49.53
because we have
that mob mentality.
00:31:49.54\00:31:51.52
You know I wanna be
with everybody is right,
00:31:52.30\00:31:53.78
don't you only
popular and everybody accept
00:31:53.79\00:31:55.96
me and love Messiah,
don't we just tend to
00:31:55.97\00:31:57.08
want those things.
And so if you stand out
00:31:57.09\00:31:59.58
and you say no, no, the
Bible doesn't teach this
00:31:59.59\00:32:01.22
and I'm gonna follow the Bible.
00:32:01.23\00:32:02.20
You know, what
does gonna happen?
00:32:02.44\00:32:03.41
People gonna scarf at
you, they're gonna give
00:32:03.85\00:32:05.77
you hard time,
they're gonna say you think
00:32:05.78\00:32:07.50
you are right,
everybody else is wrong.
00:32:07.51\00:32:08.77
You might say well you
know I think I'm in the
00:32:10.07\00:32:12.19
majority, because I
believe what the angels
00:32:12.20\00:32:16.16
believe, I believe
what God word says, right,
00:32:16.17\00:32:20.19
that is the
majority. It's not the majority
00:32:20.50\00:32:23.22
as far as what we see,
but it still on the list.
00:32:23.23\00:32:25.78
And so here we go carrying on,
00:32:26.42\00:32:28.79
Revelation Chapter
20 and verse 14 is where
00:32:30.08\00:32:32.14
we just came from,
that's the text we just add.
00:32:32.15\00:32:34.89
Our next text
we're going to is Hosea
00:32:34.90\00:32:36.60
Chapter 11 and verse
8. Does everybody know
00:32:36.82\00:32:38.73
where the book of Hosea is at?
00:32:38.74\00:32:39.84
It's in the Old Testament
00:32:41.01\00:32:41.98
right after the book of Daniel.
00:32:41.99\00:32:44.14
Daniel and the
next book is Hosea.
00:32:45.13\00:32:46.49
So everybody knows how
to find the book of Daniel,
00:32:46.73\00:32:48.27
we spend so much
time there in the book of
00:32:48.28\00:32:49.43
Daniel, haven't
we? So go to Daniel,
00:32:49.44\00:32:51.21
go one more book
over and we go to Hosea
00:32:51.22\00:32:55.62
Chapter 11 and
starting verse 8 what we're
00:32:55.63\00:32:57.82
looking at here.
I promise while ago
00:32:57.83\00:32:59.52
remember the Bible
says that the example of
00:32:59.90\00:33:02.29
Sodom and Gomorrah
and the cities around
00:33:02.30\00:33:04.42
about them in like
manner will destroy.
00:33:04.43\00:33:06.07
Well, look what it
says in Hosea Chapter 11
00:33:06.47\00:33:09.13
and verse 8, starting in verse 8
00:33:09.14\00:33:11.18
actually I believe
11:8. Oh! I gonna say I am
00:33:11.19\00:33:17.03
almost panicked
there because I was reading
00:33:17.04\00:33:20.87
the wrong text and I
thought have I put the
00:33:20.88\00:33:22.45
wrong text in there.
The guys in the truck
00:33:22.46\00:33:24.75
are going to kill
me, I got the right one.
00:33:24.76\00:33:26.26
Hosea 11:8: How shall
I give thee up, Ephraim?
00:33:26.95\00:33:30.15
How shall I
deliver thee, Israel?
00:33:30.93\00:33:32.61
How shall I make you as Admah?
00:33:33.17\00:33:35.18
How shall I set thee as Zeboiim?
00:33:36.24\00:33:38.21
Mine heart is turned within me,
00:33:38.90\00:33:40.45
my repentings
are kindled together.
00:33:40.75\00:33:42.57
Do you know who
Admah and Zeboiim are?
00:33:42.84\00:33:44.71
They were the
cities that were around
00:33:45.43\00:33:46.78
Sodom and Gomorrah.
And He says, and I will
00:33:46.79\00:33:50.59
show you that in just
a minute, but now think
00:33:50.60\00:33:51.64
about what he is
saying. How can I give you a
00:33:51.65\00:33:54.03
half of Israel and my
people, how can I give
00:33:54.04\00:33:56.19
you up to be like
them? He doesn't want to do
00:33:56.20\00:33:58.55
that, does he? He
wants us to be saved
00:33:58.56\00:34:00.58
and He says, He says
I don't want to destroy
00:34:01.00\00:34:03.41
you like I destroyed
them. And how do we know,
00:34:03.42\00:34:05.85
that's who that's
talking about go with me to
00:34:05.86\00:34:08.43
Deuteronomy 29 you
can just make little note
00:34:08.44\00:34:09.97
there,
Deuteronomy 29 and verse 23,
00:34:09.98\00:34:11.60
I will tell you
that. Genesis, Exodus,
00:34:11.61\00:34:13.83
Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
00:34:13.84\00:34:15.92
Chapter 29 and verse 23.
00:34:16.67\00:34:23.54
The whole land thereof
is brimstone, and salt,
00:34:27.62\00:34:32.40
and burning, that it
is not sown, nor beareth,
00:34:32.41\00:34:37.36
nor any grass
groweth therein, like the
00:34:37.57\00:34:39.94
overthrow of Sodom,
Gomorrah, and Admah,
00:34:39.95\00:34:42.35
and Zeboiim. Remember those two
00:34:42.51\00:34:43.58
terms, that's
what they were again,
00:34:43.59\00:34:44.56
those two other
places, which the Lord
00:34:45.01\00:34:46.89
overthrew in his
anger, and in his wrath.
00:34:46.90\00:34:50.04
So, He's speaking here
of the land there during
00:34:50.60\00:34:52.38
that time is, He
says it's just like who?
00:34:52.39\00:34:53.90
Sodom and Gomorrah
and Admah and Zeboiim.
00:34:54.46\00:34:57.32
Most people thought that
there were only two cities
00:34:57.69\00:34:58.66
destroyed were
Sodom and Gomorrah right,
00:34:58.67\00:35:00.11
just found something new.
00:35:00.12\00:35:01.20
The God says to
Israel, how can I give you up
00:35:01.21\00:35:04.06
and what happened to
them happened to you,
00:35:05.17\00:35:07.58
and what happen to them?
00:35:07.59\00:35:08.92
They were destroyed
with what kind of fire
00:35:09.70\00:35:11.21
according to Bible? Eternal.
00:35:11.22\00:35:13.78
Yeah Jude 7 says the same.
00:35:13.79\00:35:15.63
Jude Chapter 1 and verse 7 tells
00:35:15.64\00:35:16.69
they were
destroyed with eternal fire.
00:35:16.70\00:35:18.89
They're not around today
00:35:19.90\00:35:21.47
it's the results
that are eternal, okay.
00:35:21.48\00:35:26.60
Now, I want somebody
and I will make a challenge
00:35:26.61\00:35:28.30
to anybody here
and anybody at home
00:35:28.31\00:35:29.73
for the text in
the Bible that says
00:35:29.74\00:35:32.15
that the wicked
gonna live forever.
00:35:32.16\00:35:33.31
You know, it's got
a saying you know that
00:35:33.32\00:35:36.57
anyway you want to me say
00:35:36.58\00:35:37.86
they have a soul
that lives forever,
00:35:37.87\00:35:39.47
you can see they have a
spirit that lives forever.
00:35:39.48\00:35:41.87
But somehow has to say
they live forever or eternal
00:35:42.61\00:35:45.34
you know give me the text.
00:35:45.35\00:35:46.60
I'm telling you, you get
in your concordance out now
00:35:47.74\00:35:50.42
you are calling your pastor,
00:35:50.43\00:35:51.40
you're calling
your church members
00:35:51.41\00:35:52.69
and you're saying hey.
00:35:52.70\00:35:53.67
He says there is
not a text that says
00:35:53.68\00:35:54.85
they live forever,
where's that text at.
00:35:54.86\00:35:56.76
And they gonna say hold
on I know it's in there,
00:35:57.69\00:35:59.51
then they are
gonna take their Bibles
00:35:59.52\00:36:00.83
and they will go like this
00:36:00.84\00:36:01.81
and they will go like this,
00:36:01.82\00:36:02.79
I know what's in
there, I know it's in there.
00:36:02.80\00:36:06.34
And then we'll
turn to, turn to Ezekiel
00:36:07.86\00:36:09.61
you know and there
is a text in Ezekiel
00:36:09.62\00:36:12.47
I think that's verse
says they live forever.
00:36:12.48\00:36:13.84
Let me see if I
can find it real quick,
00:36:13.85\00:36:14.82
hold on there
Ezekiel and I'm starting
00:36:14.83\00:36:18.31
Ezekiel Chapter
18, yeah that verse
00:36:18.32\00:36:20.84
is at Ezekiel
Chapter 18 and verse 4,
00:36:20.85\00:36:23.13
that's where it
says they live forever.
00:36:23.14\00:36:24.17
Behold, all souls are
mine; as the soul of the father,
00:36:24.91\00:36:28.15
also is the soul
of the son is mine:
00:36:28.16\00:36:29.55
the soul that
sinneth, it shall live forever.
00:36:29.56\00:36:31.60
What's it saying?
You know we got to watch
00:36:32.83\00:36:35.07
as sometimes as preachers
will misquote the text.
00:36:35.08\00:36:36.75
Yeah, in Hosea, I'm sorry in
00:36:37.83\00:36:40.56
Ezekiel Chapter 18
and verse 4 it says:
00:36:40.57\00:36:42.34
The soul that
sinneth, it shall die.
00:36:42.35\00:36:44.05
The second death I
might add, than we read about
00:36:44.79\00:36:47.88
Revelation, are
you understanding?
00:36:47.89\00:36:50.01
There is nothing
in the Bible that says
00:36:50.66\00:36:52.64
the wicked get to live forever.
00:36:52.65\00:36:54.03
It's only the righteous
that are promised eternal life.
00:36:55.66\00:36:58.27
So, in order for the
wicked to live forever in hell,
00:37:00.12\00:37:02.80
they will have to
promise eternal life in the hell
00:37:02.81\00:37:04.78
and you don't
find it in the Bible.
00:37:04.79\00:37:07.16
And you are wondering,
00:37:07.64\00:37:08.91
its like I mean this sound like,
00:37:08.92\00:37:09.89
it's got sound
like a broken records
00:37:09.90\00:37:10.87
going over and
over and over again.
00:37:10.88\00:37:12.05
I'm so much want to
tell a story right now,
00:37:13.00\00:37:15.43
but it doesn't fit
with this one exactly right.
00:37:15.44\00:37:16.95
So I'm gonna
reframe, but I know the story,
00:37:17.29\00:37:19.78
actually I put this way
00:37:19.79\00:37:21.34
Somebody that
had learned all this
00:37:21.35\00:37:23.72
like you've been learning
here, and they believed it.
00:37:23.73\00:37:26.37
And they were
getting ready to baptized
00:37:26.38\00:37:29.76
and when they
got up they started,
00:37:29.77\00:37:31.40
they start up
getting and they actually
00:37:31.41\00:37:33.13
begin to speak, if we
wanna speak any words you know
00:37:33.14\00:37:35.18
that the congregation
or anything like that.
00:37:35.19\00:37:39.01
The guy gets up and
starts sprouting out
00:37:39.02\00:37:40.20
some things that
he had from his past.
00:37:40.21\00:37:42.31
You know, that
doesn't sound biblical
00:37:43.54\00:37:44.98
you know he
started saying things
00:37:44.99\00:37:45.96
that weren't
biblical and not right.
00:37:45.97\00:37:47.34
And then afterward he
talked to them about it,
00:37:47.92\00:37:49.26
he said well you
know I didn't realize
00:37:49.27\00:37:51.20
what I was doing?
00:37:51.21\00:37:52.18
You go through your whole life,
00:37:52.78\00:37:53.89
learning things a certain way,
00:37:53.90\00:37:55.98
and you've been taught
these things in certain way,
00:37:56.90\00:37:58.44
like I went my whole childhood
00:37:58.45\00:37:59.66
I went to like 18 years old
00:37:59.67\00:38:01.01
when I started
like studying the Bible,
00:38:01.02\00:38:02.32
and becoming a
Christian like 19 years old.
00:38:02.33\00:38:04.28
Actually I was 22 I turned,
I mean time went by fast.
00:38:04.29\00:38:06.79
I was 21 when I
started studying the Bible
00:38:06.80\00:38:08.53
became a Christian at 22.
00:38:08.54\00:38:09.60
And you think wow he
has been studying the Bible
00:38:10.09\00:38:11.76
for year or two, right?
00:38:11.77\00:38:12.74
Anyway I have a
mindset of the way things work,
00:38:14.80\00:38:17.28
you know like the
way I believe things were
00:38:17.29\00:38:19.27
and so whenever I started
learning things differently,
00:38:19.28\00:38:21.53
we think what happened?
00:38:21.54\00:38:22.51
I will learn to say for
instance like, like hell
00:38:22.52\00:38:24.55
doesn't burn through the
ceaseless ages of eternity.
00:38:24.56\00:38:26.42
But they're gonna
burn up the wicked,
00:38:26.43\00:38:28.01
but I was still
like from time to time
00:38:28.02\00:38:30.06
I will make a
statement that will be totally
00:38:30.07\00:38:31.66
off the wall talking
about whether are we either
00:38:31.67\00:38:34.06
finding out now truth, right?
00:38:34.07\00:38:35.66
No, they are not, they are dead.
00:38:36.14\00:38:37.32
But I'm thinking,
I'm put him in the hell
00:38:37.33\00:38:39.33
you know I would
say things like that
00:38:39.34\00:38:40.68
because in our minds we
get things in certain way.
00:38:40.69\00:38:44.31
That's like he get this
groove cutting your mind
00:38:44.32\00:38:46.21
you know and it just in there
00:38:46.22\00:38:47.57
and it's hard to get it out.
00:38:47.58\00:38:48.65
And so, I'm keep
repeating and reiterating things
00:38:49.20\00:38:52.14
and you wanna do this
when you are giving it,
00:38:52.15\00:38:53.97
whether it's an
evangelistic sermon type thing
00:38:53.98\00:38:56.45
or if you're
doing a Bible study.
00:38:56.46\00:38:57.43
Did it even starting to
the bother you a little bit,
00:38:57.44\00:38:58.78
because it seems repetitive,
the person you're hearing.
00:38:58.79\00:39:00.85
And it's funny and I
wil try to explain to you
00:39:00.86\00:39:03.56
from my point of view.
00:39:03.57\00:39:04.54
When I was first
learning these things,
00:39:04.55\00:39:06.06
every time I would hear
that hell burns up the wicked
00:39:06.07\00:39:08.90
it was like a new
Revelation to me for a while.
00:39:08.91\00:39:10.80
You know like in the same study,
00:39:10.81\00:39:12.73
Oh! Yeah it says here
that the wicked burned up
00:39:12.74\00:39:15.11
and I was like
oh! Wow, it says here
00:39:15.12\00:39:17.04
that that the soul will die.
00:39:17.05\00:39:18.52
Oh! Well yeah I
guess it makes sense
00:39:18.53\00:39:21.31
if you're gonna burn
up, you're gonna die right.
00:39:21.32\00:39:22.57
It says here you
destroyed you know like a fire
00:39:22.58\00:39:24.80
and that's a second death.
00:39:24.81\00:39:25.78
Wow, and it's almost
like everything was little bit
00:39:26.23\00:39:28.51
as just saying the same
thing over and over again.
00:39:28.52\00:39:30.47
But it was always new Revelation
00:39:30.48\00:39:31.60
because in my mind
that's not the truth.
00:39:31.61\00:39:34.35
Yeah, I had
another idea what truth was
00:39:35.28\00:39:36.49
and it wasn't
based on the Bible,
00:39:36.50\00:39:38.17
it's based on my Tom
and Jerry experience, right?
00:39:38.18\00:39:40.21
It's based on my
cartoon and the things
00:39:40.22\00:39:41.64
I watch when I was growing up.
00:39:41.65\00:39:42.62
My theology
training you might say,
00:39:42.63\00:39:44.77
never had the Bible.
00:39:44.78\00:39:45.97
So I do keep repeating things,
00:39:45.98\00:39:48.00
but when you give the study,
00:39:48.01\00:39:49.34
you wanna try to
give within an hour.
00:39:49.35\00:39:50.95
But you wanna make sure
you hit these points strongly.
00:39:50.96\00:39:53.64
You can give a study
and show from the Bible,
00:39:54.78\00:39:56.22
that they are destruct,
the wicked are destroyed,
00:39:56.23\00:39:59.47
they are
destroyed, they are destroyed.
00:39:59.48\00:40:00.52
And the people go out there,
00:40:00.53\00:40:01.65
and the next time you
come back and give the study
00:40:01.66\00:40:02.82
they would be like,
aah I met those people
00:40:02.83\00:40:04.92
burning in hells, haven't
time right now, you know,
00:40:04.93\00:40:07.22
it's not that
they don't believe it
00:40:07.23\00:40:08.95
but they groove is cut,
you know and they just learn
00:40:08.96\00:40:12.00
that way their whole life.
00:40:12.01\00:40:13.01
And some of you
are sitting here,
00:40:13.63\00:40:14.64
you are raised in
a church and thinking
00:40:14.65\00:40:15.64
how come people
be so hard headed.
00:40:15.65\00:40:16.94
Well, I was
preaching at a place one time.
00:40:17.62\00:40:20.01
And a lady asked me that. I was
00:40:20.02\00:40:22.92
in a... I was in a, this
was a church of God place
00:40:22.93\00:40:26.09
and they didn't
have a pastor that time,
00:40:26.10\00:40:28.34
they had asked me to
come in and preach for them.
00:40:28.35\00:40:30.11
And so I was there preaching,
you know, every Sunday,
00:40:30.12\00:40:33.29
I would go preach for them.
00:40:33.30\00:40:34.27
And I was leading them,
00:40:34.28\00:40:35.25
basically I'm leading into here.
00:40:35.26\00:40:36.34
And just a short time
into it, this lady says,
00:40:36.35\00:40:39.81
you know, I just
don't understand how people,
00:40:39.82\00:40:42.55
can hear you can
just give him a text
00:40:42.56\00:40:44.91
right from the
Bible, just give him a text.
00:40:44.92\00:40:45.89
And they just get so
mad, they get so angry,
00:40:45.90\00:40:48.91
they just don't want to hear it.
00:40:48.92\00:40:49.91
And I said look, I
can give you one text
00:40:49.92\00:40:52.75
from the Bible and you
be mad at me and run me off.
00:40:52.76\00:40:55.30
Oh! No, we
wouldn't, they just loved
00:40:55.31\00:40:56.98
and I loved them to,
they were pretty sweet people.
00:40:56.99\00:40:58.68
We wouldn't do
that, we love you,
00:40:58.69\00:41:00.27
you know going on
about, I say okay.
00:41:00.28\00:41:01.66
You're sure you still love me,
00:41:01.67\00:41:03.31
you wouldn't run me off,
00:41:03.32\00:41:04.29
oh no, I said, I'll
just give your Bible text.
00:41:04.30\00:41:06.73
Okay, what is it?
John 3:16 and I quoted it,
00:41:06.74\00:41:12.21
For God so loved the world,
00:41:12.22\00:41:13.19
that He gave His
only begotten Son,
00:41:13.20\00:41:14.37
that whosoever
believes in him shall not.
00:41:14.38\00:41:15.72
And they said it
perish, and I said but have,
00:41:15.73\00:41:18.31
and they said everlasting life.
00:41:18.32\00:41:19.98
And I said you
know you just confessed
00:41:19.99\00:41:21.53
out of your own mouth
that the wicked are going
00:41:21.54\00:41:24.04
to perish and not
be existing anymore.
00:41:24.05\00:41:25.57
Well, you thought, let us think
00:41:25.58\00:41:27.34
I am off in your church,
00:41:27.35\00:41:28.44
you know they just get
all mad, you can't say that.
00:41:28.45\00:41:30.72
Just me I guess. Okay,
so anyway they're all mad.
00:41:30.73\00:41:34.55
And you know what
they did, the next week
00:41:34.56\00:41:35.83
they called my
wife and sit at home
00:41:35.84\00:41:37.26
while I was at work and said no,
00:41:37.27\00:41:38.32
They were telling,
they don't want to come back
00:41:38.33\00:41:39.52
anymore, you know we really like
00:41:39.53\00:41:40.64
and everything
anything like that.
00:41:40.65\00:41:41.65
But I told them one
text, so it is a matter of even
00:41:41.66\00:41:46.53
in our own hearts,
if we have a mindset
00:41:46.54\00:41:48.62
that we want to
believe things in certain way.
00:41:48.63\00:41:50.32
And some one tells us
something differently.
00:41:50.33\00:41:51.66
We must be willing to accept
what the Bible has to say.
00:41:52.17\00:41:54.58
Right, if we're not
willing to, we'll go down a path
00:41:56.51\00:41:59.27
that opposite what
God would have us go.
00:41:59.28\00:42:01.31
I mean when the texts
clearly says that they'll
00:42:01.32\00:42:03.59
perish that's what God means.
00:42:03.60\00:42:04.62
Now God doesn't
want us to perish.
00:42:05.78\00:42:08.59
And so as I am
finishing the text here,
00:42:10.04\00:42:11.72
okay, in the
study, I got off a bit now
00:42:11.73\00:42:14.95
but we do this
more a learning here
00:42:14.96\00:42:16.29
but in the
study when I am giving
00:42:16.30\00:42:17.40
the Bible study itself,
and I get to the Hosea 11:8.
00:42:17.41\00:42:19.41
And God has said to
His people you know,
00:42:19.91\00:42:22.12
"How can I give you
up? How can I give you up?
00:42:22.13\00:42:24.67
To do like what
happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.
00:42:24.68\00:42:27.11
God doesn't want to give you up.
00:42:27.12\00:42:28.61
We're getting close
the appeal time here.
00:42:28.62\00:42:30.30
Okay, you
understand this is an appeal
00:42:30.31\00:42:31.41
that we're leading into.
00:42:31.42\00:42:32.39
So the leading is like,
00:42:32.40\00:42:33.37
God doesn't want to give you up.
00:42:33.38\00:42:34.92
You're His people
and He doesn't want
00:42:36.18\00:42:37.81
to give up to the
destruction of hell.
00:42:37.82\00:42:39.66
He doesn't want to destroy
you when He destroys sin.
00:42:40.30\00:42:42.02
But if you cling
to sin you have to.
00:42:42.03\00:42:44.50
And so look at God's
plea, you could almost hear,
00:42:44.92\00:42:46.90
when we turn to
Ezekiel Chapter 33,
00:42:46.91\00:42:48.60
our next text we're gonna
go to, it's on a slide here.
00:42:48.61\00:42:50.46
When we go to the
Ezekiel Chapter 33 and verse 11.
00:42:50.47\00:42:53.83
You can almost here the
plea in the heart of the God,
00:42:53.84\00:42:59.04
you know as He's
pleading to His people.
00:42:59.05\00:43:00.47
Look I don't
want to give you up.
00:43:00.48\00:43:02.41
And look what He says here
00:43:02.86\00:43:04.22
in Ezekiel
Chapter 33 and verse 11.
00:43:04.23\00:43:05.69
Who'd like to read that?
00:43:09.74\00:43:11.54
Actually I think I'll read it.
00:43:11.55\00:43:12.88
So, is this the appeal text in,
00:43:12.89\00:43:15.59
and when I give a Bible study,
00:43:15.60\00:43:17.14
I never give the appeal text
00:43:17.15\00:43:19.05
to the person who
is reading it, myself,
00:43:19.06\00:43:21.47
because I want to
read it, and you know
00:43:21.48\00:43:23.62
give the appeal, like
give them an opportunity.
00:43:23.63\00:43:27.14
God's speaking, says unto them
00:43:27.75\00:43:30.15
as I live says the Lord,
00:43:30.16\00:43:31.82
I have no pleasure in
the death of the wicked.
00:43:32.46\00:43:34.98
But that the
wicked would will turn
00:43:37.08\00:43:38.86
from his wicked way, and live.
00:43:38.87\00:43:40.63
Again right there in the
text, what's the options?
00:43:41.16\00:43:43.37
The death of the
wicked or to turn off
00:43:44.23\00:43:46.46
from your wicked way and live.
00:43:46.47\00:43:47.62
God doesn't want to kill you,
00:43:48.19\00:43:49.25
He doesn't want to destroy you.
00:43:49.26\00:43:50.25
He wants you to live.
00:43:50.26\00:43:51.65
But He can't let you live
while you are living in sin.
00:43:51.66\00:43:54.12
You understand what its saying?
00:43:54.13\00:43:55.20
Then He says this,
Turn ye, turn ye from your
00:43:55.21\00:43:59.02
evil ways, for why will
you die, O house of Israel.
00:43:59.03\00:44:02.91
Can you like hear the plea?
00:44:02.92\00:44:05.08
That God is speaking
through Ezekiel here.
00:44:05.77\00:44:07.21
He doesn't want you to die.
00:44:08.18\00:44:09.45
You think God wants to destroy
00:44:10.42\00:44:12.25
people in the lake of fire?
00:44:12.26\00:44:13.52
No. He's
prepared eternity for us.
00:44:13.53\00:44:16.10
But unfortunately many people
00:44:17.48\00:44:18.92
are saying you know what?
00:44:18.93\00:44:20.14
I like this world better now.
00:44:20.15\00:44:23.29
And for the people
that love this world
00:44:24.88\00:44:27.00
better than they
love God right now.
00:44:27.01\00:44:28.42
They're gonna receive
the reward of the wicked.
00:44:28.91\00:44:32.61
Jesus says, if you
love mother and your father
00:44:34.17\00:44:36.72
anything more than me
you are not worthy of me.
00:44:36.73\00:44:38.40
We must love
Him, we must surrender
00:44:39.30\00:44:42.76
what His will
says, what His word says.
00:44:42.77\00:44:44.31
And my thought is, as I
close sometimes with this
00:44:44.83\00:44:47.68
and I'm closing this
right now as far as this part,
00:44:47.69\00:44:49.41
we're gonna go after
this into a difficult text.
00:44:49.42\00:44:51.99
We're gonna cover
this one difficult text
00:44:52.00\00:44:53.84
before we close up.
00:44:53.85\00:44:54.82
But my thought and the appeal is
00:44:54.83\00:44:56.86
God doesn't want to destroy you.
00:44:56.87\00:44:59.37
He doesn't want
to, but if we continue
00:45:01.08\00:45:04.43
to go down a road
that is in wrong direction,
00:45:04.44\00:45:08.28
you might say that
we're clinging to sin
00:45:08.29\00:45:09.58
that He's gonna destroy the sin.
00:45:09.59\00:45:10.91
He has to destroy you with it.
00:45:11.54\00:45:12.62
He's appealing
to us, to turn from
00:45:13.03\00:45:17.15
wicked way and live.
00:45:17.16\00:45:18.13
So that's kind of
a powerful thought
00:45:20.06\00:45:22.30
to lead us with, isn't it?
00:45:22.31\00:45:23.29
You know also, even
if you think about it,v
00:45:23.64\00:45:24.61
the idea the hell is
ever burning, is an attack
00:45:26.71\00:45:30.85
on the character of
God as well with this.
00:45:30.86\00:45:32.94
You know we've talked
about through the study.
00:45:32.95\00:45:34.42
So not only are we been
appealing to the people,
00:45:34.43\00:45:37.25
to forsake their sins.
We're appealing them to
00:45:37.26\00:45:40.40
forsake the mindset
that God is a tyrant.
00:45:40.41\00:45:43.45
It really, I mean,
do you want to live
00:45:43.46\00:45:46.44
forever with the tyrant?
00:45:46.45\00:45:47.46
You really don't
want to go to heaven
00:45:47.47\00:45:48.81
that if you think
that God is a tyrant.
00:45:48.82\00:45:49.89
I wouldn't, if I
really thought He was as bad
00:45:49.90\00:45:51.82
as people make Him out to be.
00:45:51.83\00:45:53.20
By the way, did you
know that hell burns a lot
00:45:53.89\00:45:57.28
harder than most people think?
00:45:57.29\00:45:58.68
Now see most people
think that hell doesn't burn
00:45:58.69\00:46:02.21
hard enough to burn things up.
00:46:02.22\00:46:03.19
But the hell in
the Bible burns so hard
00:46:03.83\00:46:06.34
that it burns everything up.
00:46:06.35\00:46:07.32
So actually when I do
my Evangelistic meetings
00:46:07.33\00:46:09.35
sometimes, I taught over
the sermons, I do the hell.
00:46:09.36\00:46:11.36
I try to let out, come discover
00:46:11.37\00:46:13.70
what's harder than hell?
00:46:13.71\00:46:14.81
Right, come discover
what's harder than hell?
00:46:17.59\00:46:19.82
And what is hell or
destruction of the wicked?
00:46:19.83\00:46:22.96
And most people's hell
doesn't burn very hard,
00:46:23.88\00:46:25.81
because it
doesn't burn things up.
00:46:27.21\00:46:28.35
But this would be
hard enough to melt steel.
00:46:29.06\00:46:31.34
So, okay so let us close here,
00:46:33.69\00:46:36.80
and I want to
have a word of prayer.
00:46:36.81\00:46:37.83
And then we gonna
ask God to guide us again
00:46:38.72\00:46:40.30
and thank Him for the study,
00:46:40.31\00:46:41.60
and help us as we
present the study to others
00:46:41.61\00:46:44.27
to really have His
Spirit speaking through us.
00:46:44.28\00:46:48.31
You know, as you take
this now and if you've
00:46:48.32\00:46:50.15
heard it like
you watch the video,
00:46:50.16\00:46:51.51
or those of you who are
here that you've heard it now.
00:46:51.52\00:46:53.99
When you give the study later,
00:46:54.00\00:46:55.17
here's what you'd
be surprised about.
00:46:55.18\00:46:56.62
The things you think
you will never remember,
00:46:57.57\00:46:59.46
like there's no way
I can give the study
00:46:59.47\00:47:00.80
and do all that.
00:47:00.81\00:47:01.78
Right, you ever feel like that?
00:47:01.79\00:47:02.76
Here's what you
find, it's a faith thing.
00:47:03.33\00:47:05.43
It really takes faith
because you don't know
00:47:05.44\00:47:07.55
that you can do it
until you've done it, right?
00:47:07.56\00:47:08.86
So that takes faith
steeping out and doing it.
00:47:08.87\00:47:10.19
But if you go and
give the Bible study,
00:47:10.20\00:47:11.42
you will find out as you
get to the certain point.
00:47:11.43\00:47:13.53
Like Gods gonna speak to you,
00:47:13.54\00:47:15.86
you gonna hear my
voice speaking to you.
00:47:15.87\00:47:17.08
You know, what I
am talking about like,
00:47:17.86\00:47:19.67
God will bring back to your
memory, the things you need.
00:47:19.68\00:47:22.11
And you say oh yeah,
listen, how about this,
00:47:22.12\00:47:24.65
and you start
sharing things with people.
00:47:24.66\00:47:25.97
And you didn't know it's there?
00:47:25.98\00:47:27.77
But right now you
don't know it's there
00:47:28.71\00:47:29.77
because you haven't shared it.
00:47:29.78\00:47:30.77
But if you watch the video
00:47:31.63\00:47:32.60
or you've been in
class and you take this now,
00:47:32.61\00:47:35.05
and try to
share the Bible study,
00:47:35.06\00:47:36.31
I promise you, I
promise you if you go in
00:47:36.32\00:47:40.90
attitude of prayer
that God will help you.
00:47:40.91\00:47:42.30
The things you need to remember,
00:47:42.31\00:47:43.51
will be remembered, and
you will be able to share
00:47:43.52\00:47:45.80
with people, it will be there.
00:47:45.81\00:47:47.66
You think, ah
never knew that story,
00:47:48.12\00:47:49.13
and how to apply that
and do that, yes you will.
00:47:49.14\00:47:50.11
I learnt that myself, you know,
00:47:51.93\00:47:53.39
when I first
start learning this.
00:47:53.40\00:47:54.37
You know, come from my hedonism
00:47:54.38\00:47:55.55
I started learning things.
00:47:55.56\00:47:56.90
And I went and I
said, ah like the first time
00:47:56.91\00:48:00.26
I went to Daniel 2
the word of God's study.
00:48:00.27\00:48:01.71
I said, I'll never
remember what to say?
00:48:01.72\00:48:03.07
I kind of know of them, I
never remember what to say?
00:48:03.08\00:48:05.25
And the words
just started coming out
00:48:05.26\00:48:07.18
like where they are
coming from, you know
00:48:07.19\00:48:08.57
and just like God was speaking.
00:48:08.58\00:48:09.66
But you got to go and
put yourself in a situation.
00:48:09.67\00:48:11.43
So you'll remember what
to say with these studies
00:48:11.93\00:48:14.05
if you'll seek
God and ask for help.
00:48:14.06\00:48:16.42
And He will give you everything
00:48:16.43\00:48:17.65
you need to remember.
00:48:17.66\00:48:18.63
So you want to
give these studies.
00:48:18.64\00:48:20.06
Okay, let's pray.
00:48:20.07\00:48:21.12
Lord Jesus thank you
for the study for the time
00:48:21.78\00:48:24.03
we got to spend
here in your word.
00:48:24.04\00:48:25.22
And now as we go on
to the difficult text
00:48:25.97\00:48:27.58
or as we discuss
those for a few minutes.
00:48:27.59\00:48:29.43
I pray that it will be
clear that you will help us
00:48:30.80\00:48:34.20
to have understanding that your
00:48:34.21\00:48:36.02
sweet Spirit is speaking to us.
00:48:36.03\00:48:37.15
And Lord as we share
this study with others,
00:48:37.16\00:48:39.05
speak through us. I
pray in Jesus name, amen.
00:48:39.06\00:48:42.35
Okay, the difficult text,
00:48:42.81\00:48:44.09
now I want to go to
the first I'm going to.
00:48:44.10\00:48:45.47
I think it's on the screen.
00:48:45.48\00:48:46.45
Let's see that comes
up. Yeah, 1 Peter 3, 18-20.
00:48:46.46\00:48:50.36
Did you know, did you
know there is whole bunch
00:48:50.37\00:48:51.81
of people out
there, and I have dealt
00:48:51.82\00:48:53.41
with some of them
before that teach that,
00:48:53.42\00:48:55.11
when Jesus
died, He went to hell,
00:48:55.12\00:48:56.89
have you heard this before?
00:48:56.90\00:48:58.43
Anybody, look like show
hands, anybody who heard this.
00:48:58.44\00:49:00.25
Some of you had,
you heard that before?
00:49:00.26\00:49:02.57
He went to hell.
00:49:02.58\00:49:03.57
And now I love this
when you think about this.
00:49:03.58\00:49:05.47
Let's go to this
1 Peter Chapter 3,
00:49:05.48\00:49:07.53
and it makes no
sense whatsoever.
00:49:07.54\00:49:09.91
I mean they just missed
00:49:09.92\00:49:11.00
and taken things out of context.
00:49:11.01\00:49:12.69
But 1 Peter Chapter 3,
00:49:12.70\00:49:16.61
here's what they get
that Jesus went to hell.
00:49:16.62\00:49:19.43
Is every one ready? Verse 18-20
00:49:20.11\00:49:23.54
"For Christ that being Jesus,
00:49:24.47\00:49:26.24
also has once suffered for sins,
00:49:26.25\00:49:28.66
the just for the unjust,
00:49:28.67\00:49:29.95
that he might bring us to God,
00:49:29.96\00:49:32.25
being put to death in the flesh,
00:49:32.26\00:49:34.84
but being
quickened by the Spirit:
00:49:34.85\00:49:37.04
By which also He
went and preached
00:49:37.98\00:49:40.79
to the spirits in prison."
00:49:40.80\00:49:42.13
Now I'm gonna stop
right there just for a moment
00:49:42.14\00:49:43.65
because they say ye,
right there, where it says,
00:49:43.66\00:49:45.50
He preached the
spirits in prison.
00:49:45.51\00:49:46.67
What He's actually
saying is He went where?
00:49:46.68\00:49:48.91
Hell, where the people
are imprisoned in hell, right,
00:49:48.92\00:49:52.06
suffering in fire, okay,
00:49:52.07\00:49:53.72
so Jesus went
and preached to them.
00:49:53.73\00:49:54.86
Okay, now here we go,
here's my illustration?
00:49:54.87\00:49:56.62
Alright, I am in hell
right now, okay. Ah...
00:49:57.64\00:50:02.94
And then Jesus
comes and He says,
00:50:03.02\00:50:04.33
oh, I am here.
00:50:04.47\00:50:05.44
Do you believe the
Gospel now and I say, no...
00:50:05.45\00:50:07.25
Now think about
it, think about it.
00:50:09.02\00:50:10.06
Can you imagine, I mean,
00:50:10.65\00:50:11.62
this illogically
taken to the logical
00:50:11.63\00:50:13.16
conclusion when people say this.
00:50:13.17\00:50:14.40
You mean there's
people in hell suffering,
00:50:14.78\00:50:16.56
yeah it was very
pretty bad, wasn't it?
00:50:17.16\00:50:18.28
But that's what,
that's the idea isn't it?
00:50:20.04\00:50:21.29
That's what
having people in hell
00:50:21.30\00:50:22.60
So they are in
hell they are suffering,
00:50:22.61\00:50:23.86
they are like ah...
00:50:24.19\00:50:25.24
It's awful, it's awful.
00:50:25.25\00:50:26.42
And Jesus comes and says,
00:50:26.73\00:50:27.79
do you believe now?
00:50:27.97\00:50:28.94
They say, no.
They keep around going.
00:50:28.95\00:50:31.26
No, if Jesus went
and preached the people
00:50:31.77\00:50:33.44
in hell, you know what happened?
00:50:33.45\00:50:34.42
Hell got cleaned out.
00:50:34.68\00:50:35.65
Right, they all went
to heaven, didn't they?
00:50:37.10\00:50:38.14
Like if you are in
hell burning and Jesus
00:50:38.15\00:50:39.72
comes and said, you
believe the Gospel now Shalida,
00:50:39.73\00:50:41.29
what are you going to say?
00:50:41.30\00:50:42.27
Yes, so there's nobody in
hell as of death of Jesus.
00:50:42.51\00:50:45.71
They got cleaned
out, so God starts all
00:50:46.18\00:50:47.50
over again, He
starts put us back in there.
00:50:47.51\00:50:48.85
Does that make sense to anybody?
00:50:49.35\00:50:50.46
And secondly if He actually did,
00:50:51.44\00:50:52.76
He wouldn't preach
the spirits in hell.
00:50:52.77\00:50:54.16
What's the purpose of preaching?
00:50:54.48\00:50:55.45
According to the Bible
the purpose of preaching,
00:50:55.56\00:50:56.84
salvation. 1 Corinthians 121,
00:50:57.38\00:51:00.00
the purpose of
preaching is salvation.
00:51:00.23\00:51:01.62
So He went and
preached the spirits in prison.
00:51:01.98\00:51:03.61
And now they all said
it right because obviously
00:51:04.35\00:51:06.49
they all believe now.
So they all went to heaven,
00:51:06.50\00:51:07.78
cleaned it out. So
God started putting back
00:51:07.95\00:51:09.41
in there, put them
back there again now
00:51:09.42\00:51:10.92
according to the
most people's theologies,
00:51:10.93\00:51:12.11
isn't that correct?
I mean we've just taken
00:51:12.12\00:51:13.79
to logical conclusion here.
00:51:13.80\00:51:14.86
So they are
putting in back in prison,
00:51:15.39\00:51:16.61
putting the people
back in the flames of hell.
00:51:17.28\00:51:19.50
And now, is He
gonna give these people a
00:51:19.94\00:51:21.61
second chance too.
Is God a God of justice
00:51:21.62\00:51:25.74
and fairness?
Shalida says, He has to.
00:51:25.75\00:51:27.90
He has to give
us another chance.
00:51:29.09\00:51:30.28
So don't worry, if
you are dying go to hell
00:51:30.58\00:51:32.53
which most people
teach you do or heaven.
00:51:32.95\00:51:34.77
You know when you
die, you are right there.
00:51:34.78\00:51:36.21
He'll give another
chance, don't worry.
00:51:36.48\00:51:37.45
You'd have to
suffer for a while.
00:51:37.46\00:51:38.51
It's almost like a process,
00:51:39.78\00:51:40.76
process form of
purgatory or something,
00:51:40.93\00:51:42.33
isn't it? Then I'm
going to read the next
00:51:42.34\00:51:44.61
verse here too as this
goes along with verse 20.
00:51:44.62\00:51:46.14
"Which sometimes the
spirits were disobedient,
00:51:47.24\00:51:49.34
when once the
longsuffering of God waited
00:51:50.04\00:51:52.31
in the days of
Noah, while the ark was a
00:51:52.32\00:51:54.22
preparing, wherein few, that is,
00:51:54.23\00:51:55.64
eight souls
were saved by water."
00:51:55.65\00:51:56.90
You know what it
saying there simply?
00:51:57.44\00:51:58.51
The same spirit of
God, that was working on
00:51:59.17\00:52:01.39
the people's heart
back in the days of Noah.
00:52:01.40\00:52:03.79
And how'd they
chain in prison back then?
00:52:04.66\00:52:05.84
By there sins,
they were bound by sin.
00:52:06.64\00:52:08.24
I'll show you the
text that shows that end
00:52:08.25\00:52:09.29
in a minute. So they
are bound by the sins,
00:52:09.30\00:52:11.00
and the Spirit of
God was working on them
00:52:11.01\00:52:12.20
in the days of
Noah. The same Spirit is
00:52:12.21\00:52:13.96
working on people
today even in Christ they
00:52:13.97\00:52:15.86
were doing that.
Are you understanding?
00:52:15.87\00:52:17.18
So now let's think
about that in the context,
00:52:17.76\00:52:19.52
"For Christ also once
suffered the sins of just
00:52:19.60\00:52:21.93
for the unjust that
He might bring us to God,
00:52:21.94\00:52:23.79
being put to death in
a flesh but made alive by
00:52:24.07\00:52:26.25
the Spirit, by which
also He went and preached."
00:52:26.26\00:52:29.08
What went and
preached? The Spirit,
00:52:30.47\00:52:32.46
that same Sprit
preached the spirits that were
00:52:33.56\00:52:35.33
imprisoned in the days of Noah.
00:52:35.34\00:52:36.58
Now does it make
a little more sense?
00:52:37.56\00:52:38.67
So He spoke the
same Spirit of the God,
00:52:39.54\00:52:41.43
spoke to the hearts of
the people's in the days
00:52:41.44\00:52:42.56
of Noah. So they
also could be saved.
00:52:42.57\00:52:45.36
But were they
saved? No. Now, I am a
00:52:46.15\00:52:49.97
little hesitant
right here because I have
00:52:49.98\00:52:51.45
another difficult
text. And I think I'm just go
00:52:51.46\00:52:53.54
let Aleeda cover
it in her study on the
00:52:53.55\00:52:55.28
State of the
Dead. But who touch on?
00:52:55.29\00:52:56.89
I can give a quick answer.
00:52:57.24\00:52:58.21
I've got just a
few minutes here.
00:52:58.62\00:52:59.63
Let us go to
the next one here in
00:52:59.86\00:53:01.03
Luke Chapter 16.
I'm turning the Bible to
00:53:01.04\00:53:02.91
Luke Chapter 16,
actually I won't do that yet,
00:53:02.92\00:53:05.65
lay back up, sorry
about that out in the trailer.
00:53:05.89\00:53:07.83
The guys that are
running the cameras and
00:53:09.53\00:53:10.81
stuff there just
haven't fed on me right now,
00:53:10.82\00:53:12.38
because I'll
just go ahead and let,
00:53:12.39\00:53:14.63
we'll do Luke 16. Sorry guys,
00:53:14.99\00:53:17.18
you know when you
got to obey that clock.
00:53:18.89\00:53:20.28
I'm looking forward to heaven
00:53:22.04\00:53:23.01
when there is no more clocks.
00:53:23.02\00:53:23.99
You are right, there's not going
00:53:24.47\00:53:25.44
to be clocks in heaven?
00:53:25.45\00:53:26.42
Yeah, we can just preach all day
00:53:26.83\00:53:27.97
and no one complained.
00:53:28.22\00:53:29.19
Luke 16, I'm looking
forward to have Jesus speak.
00:53:29.72\00:53:31.66
I bet if He goes past
12 nobody will complain
00:53:31.67\00:53:33.74
when He preaches
that first sermon, right?
00:53:33.75\00:53:35.38
Alright, Luke 16, 19-21.
00:53:36.39\00:53:38.55
This is the
fifth of five parables.
00:53:38.82\00:53:40.34
Alright, this is the
fifth of five parables.
00:53:41.19\00:53:42.77
You have the lost
coin, the lost sheep,
00:53:42.78\00:53:44.03
the lost son,
the unjust steward,
00:53:44.04\00:53:45.79
the rich man in Lazarus.
That's what we are right
00:53:45.80\00:53:47.69
now, the rich man in Lazarus.
00:53:47.70\00:53:48.76
And I have got
about 3 minutes to finish,
00:53:49.11\00:53:50.55
the rich man in
Lazarus and we can do it.
00:53:50.56\00:53:52.11
Luke 16, 19 There
was a certain rich man,
00:53:52.70\00:53:56.11
which was clothed in
purple and fine linen,
00:53:56.45\00:53:58.32
and fared sumptuously every day.
00:53:58.33\00:53:59.48
Right away, is
Jesus here speaking
00:53:59.49\00:54:01.89
literally or in
parable? How do you know?
00:54:01.90\00:54:04.72
Matthew 13:34 says,
Jesus spoke to them in
00:54:06.57\00:54:10.36
parables, and without a parable
00:54:10.37\00:54:11.38
spoke to Him
nothing. He shared with the
00:54:11.39\00:54:13.72
people in parables.
And you know all the
00:54:13.73\00:54:15.63
prior stories prior
to this are parables.
00:54:15.64\00:54:17.78
So this is a parable,
He's speaking symbolically.
00:54:17.79\00:54:20.20
A parable is
something symbolic, right?
00:54:20.21\00:54:21.65
"So you have
that certain rich man,
00:54:21.92\00:54:23.21
clothed in purple and fine linen
00:54:23.46\00:54:24.63
and fared sumptuously.
And there was a certain
00:54:24.64\00:54:26.20
beggar named
Lazarus, which was laid at the
00:54:26.21\00:54:28.52
gate, full of sores.
And desiring to be fed
00:54:28.53\00:54:30.48
with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's
00:54:30.49\00:54:31.96
table moreover the
dogs came and licked
00:54:31.97\00:54:33.63
up his sores.
And it came to pass,
00:54:33.64\00:54:35.47
that the beggar died,
and was carried by the
00:54:35.48\00:54:37.40
angels to Abraham's
bosom. You know it's a parable
00:54:37.41\00:54:39.72
because the
righteous don't go to
00:54:39.73\00:54:40.93
Abraham's bosom,
right? If he does,
00:54:40.94\00:54:42.99
he got a big bosom.
And the rich man also
00:54:43.00\00:54:46.39
died and was
buried. What happened?
00:54:46.40\00:54:47.98
The rich man, where did he go?
00:54:47.99\00:54:48.96
He's buried, and then he
says, in hell he lifted up
00:54:49.46\00:54:52.46
his eyes, hell
being the grave here
00:54:52.47\00:54:54.15
because that's where he was,
00:54:54.16\00:54:55.13
and he's buried
in the grave, right?
00:54:55.14\00:54:56.11
Being in torments
and seeing Abraham
00:54:56.34\00:54:57.79
a far off and
Lazarus in his bosom.
00:54:57.80\00:54:59.35
He cried and
said, Father Abraham,
00:54:59.66\00:55:01.06
have mercy on
me, and send Lazarus,
00:55:01.07\00:55:03.04
that he may dip the
tip of his finger in water,
00:55:03.05\00:55:04.46
and cool my tongue; I
am tormented in this flame.
00:55:04.47\00:55:06.89
But Abraham said,
don't you remember you had
00:55:07.18\00:55:08.96
the good things in
your life, likewise Lazarus
00:55:08.97\00:55:11.25
has evil things,
now he is comforted,
00:55:11.26\00:55:12.94
and you are tormented.
And beside all this is a
00:55:12.95\00:55:14.80
great gulf fixed:
between us that they
00:55:14.81\00:55:16.93
which would pass it
shall not and neither
00:55:17.22\00:55:19.67
can you come to us, that
you should come from fence.
00:55:19.68\00:55:22.54
Then he said, I
pray thee therefore,
00:55:23.20\00:55:25.30
Father, let you go
to my father's house.
00:55:25.31\00:55:27.65
For I have five
brothers, and he may testify to
00:55:27.99\00:55:30.71
them unless they also
come to this place of torment.
00:55:30.72\00:55:32.74
Abraham said to
Moses they have Moses,
00:55:33.29\00:55:35.61
Abraham said unto
him. They have Moses and
00:55:36.27\00:55:37.99
the prophets;
let them hear them.
00:55:38.00\00:55:39.34
He said, no, they
won't hear him but if some
00:55:39.63\00:55:42.43
one were raised from the dead.
00:55:42.44\00:55:43.43
Then they will
repent. You followed that,
00:55:43.70\00:55:46.22
and then what
happens at the end?
00:55:46.98\00:55:48.19
Jesus says in the parable here,
00:55:48.68\00:55:51.65
if they won't hear
Moses, neither will they
00:55:51.84\00:55:53.25
be persuaded, the one
we raised from the dead.
00:55:53.26\00:55:54.88
Did you know Jesus
actually did raise a man
00:55:55.09\00:55:56.95
by the name of Lazarus
from the dead later on.
00:55:56.96\00:55:58.63
Did the people believed?
00:55:59.22\00:56:00.19
They still didn't
believe, did they?
00:56:01.02\00:56:01.99
So what He was
saying was absolutely true.
00:56:02.19\00:56:03.47
Now, we know this a symbolic,
00:56:03.73\00:56:04.82
He's speaking symbolism.
And now who the rich man
00:56:04.83\00:56:07.06
represent here in the symbolism.
00:56:07.07\00:56:08.52
Who He represent?
The Jews, right they
00:56:08.53\00:56:10.59
had everything,
they fared sumptuously.
00:56:10.60\00:56:12.02
They had the word of
God, they had everything.
00:56:12.03\00:56:13.35
And the beggar
who'd He represent?
00:56:13.69\00:56:15.22
The poor Jim, with
none, none of the bread
00:56:15.91\00:56:18.66
of life, the bread from God.
00:56:18.67\00:56:19.81
And he actually got a little
00:56:19.82\00:56:20.79
crumb, here and there.
00:56:20.80\00:56:21.77
And He was just
taking his crumbs, right?
00:56:21.78\00:56:22.75
He was getting whatever he
could from the word of God.
00:56:22.76\00:56:24.12
The parable, the parable here,
00:56:24.42\00:56:25.75
He's speaking in a parable.
00:56:25.76\00:56:26.74
And so Lazarus here, he
receives of the poor things,
00:56:27.70\00:56:30.82
the very few
things, the word of God
00:56:30.83\00:56:32.12
when he was there. But
he trusting God what he had.
00:56:32.13\00:56:34.08
And he actually gets to be
saved, and where does he go?
00:56:34.69\00:56:36.26
To Abraham's
bosom or symbolically
00:56:36.96\00:56:39.11
where he was
going to end up being?
00:56:39.12\00:56:40.09
In the kingdom of God, right?
00:56:40.59\00:56:42.26
He is gonna, had to end
up in the kingdom of God.
00:56:42.27\00:56:43.71
But what about
Lazarus, the guy had everything
00:56:44.01\00:56:46.03
when he was on earth.
He ended up with nothing,
00:56:46.04\00:56:48.62
what's the parable teaching?
00:56:49.03\00:56:50.00
If you are not sharing
the word of God you have,
00:56:50.45\00:56:52.26
you're not
comforting those other
00:56:52.27\00:56:53.29
people you're gonna be lost too.
00:56:53.30\00:56:54.64
And those people
that are taking whatever
00:56:56.34\00:56:57.53
they can get are
going to be saved.
00:56:57.54\00:56:58.78
Its not teaching on
a State of the Dead,
00:56:59.36\00:57:01.63
its contrary to the
rest of the word of God.
00:57:01.64\00:57:03.10
Now later we cover
this little more when we do
00:57:04.09\00:57:05.44

00:57:05.45\00:57:06.50
