And welcome to each one of you.
00:00:22.33\00:00:24.75
We're glad that you're
back to take a look at the
00:00:25.05\00:00:28.78
end of the 14th chapter
00:00:28.99\00:00:31.46
of the book of Revelation
00:00:31.57\00:00:33.67
in this series that we're doing
00:00:33.87\00:00:35.43
on the
Revelation of Jesus Christ.
00:00:35.63\00:00:38.41
And we have just
chapter by chapter
00:00:38.71\00:00:42.36
gone through the
book of Revelation.
00:00:42.57\00:00:45.55
And we will continue going
through the book of Revelation.
00:00:45.85\00:00:49.78
But it tells us a
lot of wonderful things
00:00:50.08\00:00:53.18
that God has in store
for you and for me and all.
00:00:53.48\00:00:57.91
So if you're
watching by television
00:00:58.04\00:01:01.48
we thank you for joining us.
00:01:01.68\00:01:03.13
We pray that what you're
learning will be a help to you.
00:01:03.43\00:01:06.74
Or if you're listening by radio
00:01:06.94\00:01:08.66
and in this day and age you
can be sitting at your computer
00:01:08.86\00:01:12.20
and watching it by the Internet.
00:01:12.40\00:01:15.41
So we just...
whatever method by which you're
00:01:15.71\00:01:18.50
watching the
program we're welcoming you
00:01:18.70\00:01:21.22
and glad that you
have tuned in and all.
00:01:21.42\00:01:25.07
As I mentioned,
we're down to the last part
00:01:25.20\00:01:28.65
of the 14th chapter.
00:01:28.86\00:01:31.00
And our subject
today is entitled:
00:01:31.20\00:01:33.98
Because the end
of the 14th chapter
00:01:36.30\00:01:39.37
talks about Jesus coming back
00:01:39.55\00:01:42.86
and that's what
we'll be looking at.
00:01:43.06\00:01:45.29
Uh, after this we
move into a subject that
00:01:45.59\00:01:50.68
uh, carries a lot
of... how should I say?
00:01:50.88\00:01:54.68
not very pleasant things,
00:01:54.88\00:01:56.59
and that is the
seven last plagues.
00:01:56.89\00:01:59.97
Seven last plagues
that will be poured out
00:02:00.27\00:02:03.10
at the end of time.
00:02:03.30\00:02:06.76
I want to just say to you
before even we get into this
00:02:07.06\00:02:09.71
next subject on
the seven last plagues
00:02:09.91\00:02:12.20
remember the seven last plagues
do not fall on the righteous.
00:02:13.21\00:02:18.82
You understand that?
00:02:20.29\00:02:21.93
Seven last plagues do
not fall on the righteous.
00:02:22.23\00:02:25.01
Psalm 91 makes it very clear.
00:02:25.31\00:02:27.73
Says: "No plague shall
come nigh your dwelling. "
00:02:28.03\00:02:31.37
So that the righteous
aren't going to receive
00:02:31.67\00:02:36.56
any of the seven last plagues.
00:02:36.67\00:02:38.41
But you will observe them.
00:02:38.71\00:02:41.03
And I'm sure a lot of things
will be happening all around.
00:02:41.44\00:02:44.58
But you need to
understand what they are,
00:02:44.88\00:02:46.84
and that's what we'll be looking
at in our next presentation.
00:02:47.04\00:02:50.38
But today we're talking about
the coming of Jesus Christ...
00:02:50.68\00:02:55.34
an event that
we look forward to.
00:02:55.54\00:02:58.55
Christ is going to come
back, set up His kingdom.
00:02:58.85\00:03:03.56
And He has certain
things that He's looking for...
00:03:03.87\00:03:07.61
certain things that
He's waiting on, folks.
00:03:07.81\00:03:11.29
And that's what we're
going to look at here in this
00:03:11.59\00:03:13.99
presentation: some of the
things that He's waiting on
00:03:14.19\00:03:16.84
and all before He comes back.
00:03:17.14\00:03:20.38
So get out your Bible.
00:03:20.58\00:03:23.09
Get you a pad and
pencil and take notes
00:03:23.29\00:03:27.11
and follow as we talk about
the coming of Jesus Christ.
00:03:27.31\00:03:31.14
Over the years,
00:03:32.69\00:03:35.31
I personally have been blessed
00:03:35.61\00:03:39.21
in a special way by
the music of Dona Klein.
00:03:39.51\00:03:44.15
Playing the organ and
then also singing for us.
00:03:44.35\00:03:49.45
It has just been a real,
real blessing to work with her.
00:03:49.76\00:03:54.92
And we thank her for
giving her life to the Lord
00:03:55.22\00:03:58.61
and serving Him and sharing
her talent with each one of us.
00:03:58.81\00:04:03.04
And she's going to sing
for us in this presentation.
00:04:03.34\00:04:07.96
And her song is going to be
00:04:08.16\00:04:09.62
Heaven's Sounding
Sweeter All The Time.
00:04:09.82\00:04:13.34
Beautiful, beautiful song.
00:04:13.64\00:04:15.29
But before she does,
Chuck Allgaier is going to come
00:04:15.59\00:04:18.94
and he's going to
read to you the scripture
00:04:19.15\00:04:21.91
that deals with our subject
here in this presentation.
00:04:22.21\00:04:25.65
And then Dona will sing.
00:04:25.95\00:04:27.74
Good afternoon. Afternoon.
00:04:30.04\00:04:32.00
And if you have your Bibles,
we're going to continue on
00:04:32.20\00:04:34.58
in Revelation,
Revelation chapter 14.
00:04:34.78\00:04:37.50
So if you have your
Bibles, let's turn to Revelation
00:04:37.60\00:04:39.96
chapter 14. We're
going to read 14 through 20.
00:04:40.16\00:04:45.20
Verses 14 through 20.
00:04:45.50\00:04:47.00
Let's read together:
00:04:47.30\00:04:48.67
My life that once was good
00:06:19.49\00:06:24.49
is not the same.
00:06:25.54\00:06:28.29
But when I'm down
God gives me strength
00:06:30.81\00:06:36.76
to rise again.
00:06:37.06\00:06:41.68
And when I'm weary
00:06:43.37\00:06:46.46
with the struggle of it all
00:06:46.76\00:06:52.64
then I listen...
00:06:55.53\00:06:58.79
how I listen for His call.
00:06:59.09\00:07:05.04
Heaven is sounding sweeter
00:07:08.69\00:07:13.79
all the time.
00:07:14.10\00:07:18.75
It seems like lately
00:07:19.05\00:07:23.73
it's always on my mind.
00:07:24.07\00:07:30.01
And someday
00:07:33.01\00:07:36.01
I'll leave this world behind.
00:07:36.31\00:07:42.23
Heaven is sounding sweeter
00:07:45.56\00:07:51.09
all the time.
00:07:51.39\00:07:55.96
I know the joy
00:08:10.24\00:08:12.44
and know that
Jesus is coming again.
00:08:12.74\00:08:15.70
But I know how hard it is to
lose a loved one to the grave.
00:08:16.00\00:08:20.56
But I know, too, that
we have a precious promise
00:08:22.45\00:08:26.33
that Jesus gave.
00:08:26.83\00:08:29.35
That God will
wipe these teardrops
00:08:33.83\00:08:39.09
from our eyes
00:08:40.11\00:08:44.00
when we meet Him
00:08:45.67\00:08:48.28
in that land beyond the sky.
00:08:49.18\00:08:55.15
Sing with me...
00:08:55.45\00:08:56.82
Heaven is sounding sweeter
00:08:58.33\00:09:03.71
all the time.
00:09:04.01\00:09:07.93
It seems like lately
00:09:08.53\00:09:12.59
it's always
00:09:12.99\00:09:15.86
on my mind.
00:09:16.16\00:09:20.66
And someday
00:09:22.22\00:09:24.77
we'll leave this
old world behind.
00:09:25.07\00:09:31.06
Heaven is sounding sweeter
00:09:34.58\00:09:39.95
all the time.
00:09:40.25\00:09:44.89
Yes, heaven
00:09:45.19\00:09:48.35
is sounding sweeter
00:09:48.65\00:09:51.83
all the time.
00:09:52.13\00:09:57.42
Father in
heaven, we look anxiously
00:10:17.88\00:10:21.25
towards that day
when You're coming back.
00:10:21.56\00:10:25.81
We ask that each of us
may purpose in our hearts
00:10:28.01\00:10:33.52
to be in Your kingdom.
00:10:34.02\00:10:36.34
Not to permit
anything to stand in our way.
00:10:37.20\00:10:42.99
We invite You,
Lord, to be with us.
00:10:44.72\00:10:48.57
May the Holy Spirit come in.
00:10:50.07\00:10:55.01
May His presence be felt.
00:10:55.89\00:10:58.39
May each one of us be
given wisdom and understanding
00:10:59.99\00:11:05.21
and enlightenment
that we may understand
00:11:05.42\00:11:09.91
Your voice and Your Word
00:11:10.21\00:11:13.43
and to walk in the light
of what Your Word teaches.
00:11:13.73\00:11:18.08
Keep us... keep
us, Lord, close to You
00:11:19.39\00:11:23.57
and direct our lives. We
pray in Christ's name, Amen.
00:11:23.87\00:11:28.75
Well, we have
looked at three angels.
00:11:35.82\00:11:38.66
Those three angels
have given their message
00:11:39.67\00:11:45.16
that God had given
them with a loud voice.
00:11:45.36\00:11:48.02
That message - the scripture
makes it clear - to go to
00:11:49.32\00:11:54.41
all the world,
because in Bible prophecy
00:11:54.61\00:11:57.63
when it uses angels in this
sense, it represents a message
00:11:57.93\00:12:01.29
that's to be
carried to the whole world.
00:12:01.53\00:12:03.29
And these three
angels had messages
00:12:03.49\00:12:05.86
that the whole world is to hear
in preparation for Jesus Christ,
00:12:06.06\00:12:11.16
for His return.
00:12:11.46\00:12:12.85
And they've sounded their
message... they've given it.
00:12:13.15\00:12:15.96
And now the next thing
it says is to take place
00:12:16.26\00:12:19.53
is the coming of Jesus Christ.
00:12:19.73\00:12:21.92
And so we read here in
Revelation the 14th chapter
00:12:22.22\00:12:27.56
and the 14th verse... it says:
00:12:27.76\00:12:30.08
So here sits One on this cloud
00:12:42.63\00:12:45.96
like the Son of Man.
00:12:49.25\00:12:51.59
Actually the King of
Kings, the Lord of Lords.
00:12:53.05\00:12:58.29
Has a crown on His head,
00:12:58.59\00:13:01.62
sickle in His hand.
00:13:01.93\00:13:03.54
He's coming back.
00:13:03.84\00:13:05.69
I'm so thankful... I'm so
thankful that that text says
00:13:05.99\00:13:10.43
that "One like the Son of Man. "
00:13:10.64\00:13:15.05
I'm glad it didn't say: "some
being from another planet. "
00:13:16.08\00:13:21.73
You know? I'm glad it says:
"One like the Son of Man. "
00:13:22.03\00:13:26.26
One that I know.
00:13:26.56\00:13:29.30
One that can by
sympathetic with me.
00:13:29.60\00:13:32.86
One that can understand
the trials and the heartaches
00:13:33.16\00:13:37.43
and all the things
that we go through.
00:13:37.63\00:13:39.58
He's been here...
He's gone through it.
00:13:39.78\00:13:41.92
He's experienced it.
He knows what those are.
00:13:42.13\00:13:44.99
And so this is
One that you and I
00:13:45.19\00:13:48.89
know.
00:13:50.34\00:13:52.08
You see, it's very, very
important that you know Him.
00:13:52.38\00:13:56.76
And when I say know Him
00:13:57.06\00:13:59.36
I don't... I'm not talking
about on a casual acquaintance.
00:13:59.66\00:14:03.63
I'm talking about
knowing Him and knowing Him
00:14:03.83\00:14:07.49
in a very, very intimate way.
00:14:07.69\00:14:10.74
Because it says very
clearly that when He comes back,
00:14:11.04\00:14:14.87
one of the... as
far as I'm concerned the
00:14:15.17\00:14:17.76
most terrible words in all
the scripture is when He says:
00:14:17.86\00:14:20.37
"I don't know you. "
00:14:20.57\00:14:21.94
You know, you need to know Him.
00:14:21.97\00:14:24.91
And here's "One like the
Son of Man" that was here.
00:14:25.11\00:14:28.45
Walked among us... cared for us.
00:14:28.75\00:14:31.31
Died for us, and day by
day is willing to be with us
00:14:31.61\00:14:36.64
and care for us and direct
us and help us and comfort us
00:14:36.95\00:14:40.11
and give us those things that
we need to walk and live for Him
00:14:40.41\00:14:45.19
day by day.
00:14:45.39\00:14:46.76
Does that. The same Jesus
00:14:46.92\00:14:49.87
that loved the little children.
00:14:51.58\00:14:55.04
The same Jesus
that healed the sick.
00:14:55.34\00:15:00.19
The same Jesus that
came and died for you and me
00:15:00.49\00:15:05.47
is coming back.
00:15:05.77\00:15:07.29
"One like the Son of Man. "
00:15:07.79\00:15:11.17
But it says that He
has in His hand a sickle.
00:15:11.47\00:15:15.61
A sickle is used for reaping,
00:15:17.56\00:15:22.20
so He's coming back to reap.
00:15:22.70\00:15:26.22
And the picture here in
Revelation the 14th chapter
00:15:26.52\00:15:29.50
is a picture of Him
coming to reap the harvest.
00:15:29.80\00:15:33.79
That's what He's coming to do.
00:15:34.09\00:15:35.81
So He has a sickle in His hand
00:15:36.11\00:15:37.82
and He's there to reap
the harvest of the earth.
00:15:38.02\00:15:41.81
And it tells us clearly
that this is what has happened:
00:15:42.11\00:15:46.00
speaking of Christ...
00:15:52.04\00:15:53.61
So one thing that's necessary
for the coming of Christ
00:16:02.06\00:16:06.37
is the harvest has to be ripe.
00:16:06.67\00:16:10.15
And he says:
"The harvest is ripe.
00:16:10.45\00:16:12.77
Come, thrust in Your sickle.
Reap, for the harvest is ripe. "
00:16:12.97\00:16:18.43
OK. So who... who
is being reaped here
00:16:18.73\00:16:24.20
when it talks about it?
00:16:24.40\00:16:25.77
Well, it's clear that the
time has come because it says:
00:16:25.96\00:16:31.16
So all those who
go contrary to God,
00:16:40.42\00:16:46.22
are opposed to the Word of God,
00:16:46.43\00:16:48.12
are opposed to the Lord...
00:16:48.32\00:16:50.53
these people are
all following the beast.
00:16:50.73\00:16:54.50
Going with the beast.
00:16:56.27\00:16:57.64
These... all of the wicked...
They have made their decision.
00:16:58.55\00:17:04.37
They have sealed their decision;
00:17:05.43\00:17:08.13
therefore, that time has come.
00:17:08.43\00:17:11.13
The cup - if you
please... God is so merciful,
00:17:11.43\00:17:14.74
so kind, and He has
waited - patiently waited -
00:17:15.04\00:17:20.27
till the cup of
iniquity was full.
00:17:20.47\00:17:24.18
And when that cup
of iniquity is full
00:17:24.38\00:17:27.33
then that is when the
curtain falls and it's done.
00:17:27.53\00:17:31.63
And in this case,
they've done that.
00:17:31.94\00:17:34.16
They've all
turned... followed the beast
00:17:34.36\00:17:37.05
and doing what he says.
00:17:37.25\00:17:40.33
At the same time it says:
00:17:40.63\00:17:42.65
So here they are...
there are all the righteous.
00:17:59.17\00:18:04.05
They have put themselves
on the side of the Lamb.
00:18:04.25\00:18:09.43
They are followers of Christ
00:18:09.73\00:18:12.23
and they have victory over
the beast and over his image
00:18:12.54\00:18:15.08
and over his mark. They have
chosen which side they're on.
00:18:15.28\00:18:18.73
So both sides have
made their decisions
00:18:19.03\00:18:22.72
and the time has come
for Him to reap the harvest.
00:18:22.92\00:18:28.28
This is what is taking place.
00:18:28.58\00:18:31.04
When Jesus was here on earth
00:18:39.05\00:18:41.55
He told a parable.
00:18:41.75\00:18:44.36
He told a parable
about this harvest
00:18:44.66\00:18:47.95
that He is going to reap.
00:18:48.15\00:18:50.37
And He said that a man went out
00:18:50.67\00:18:53.66
and sowed his field,
00:18:53.96\00:18:56.67
and that he sowed
it with good seed.
00:18:56.97\00:19:01.26
And while he was asleep
00:19:01.56\00:19:04.85
the enemy came and sowed
tares or weeds in the field.
00:19:06.02\00:19:12.00
And when the wheat began to
come up, so came up the tares.
00:19:13.02\00:19:18.84
And his servants went to
him and they said: "Lord,
00:19:19.14\00:19:22.27
when you sowed the wheat,
didn't you use good grain? "
00:19:22.57\00:19:26.14
And he said: "Yes. "
00:19:26.44\00:19:28.62
And they said: "Well,
there's tares in with the wheat.
00:19:28.92\00:19:33.28
What do you want us to
do... go and pull them up? "
00:19:33.58\00:19:36.42
And he said: "No, let
the wheat and the tares
00:19:36.72\00:19:42.08
grow together until the harvest
00:19:42.28\00:19:46.47
and then we will separate
the wheat from the tares.
00:19:46.97\00:19:52.93
The tares will be bound
into bundles and burned. "
00:19:53.13\00:19:57.51
Well, after Christ had
told that parable to the people
00:19:57.82\00:20:01.00
and all and after they had left
00:20:01.20\00:20:03.70
His disciples came
to Him and they said:
00:20:05.02\00:20:07.31
"Tell us what You
meant by this parable.
00:20:07.62\00:20:10.20
Explain it to us. "
00:20:10.50\00:20:12.30
And so Jesus
explained the parable to them,
00:20:12.61\00:20:16.52
and this is what He said:
00:20:16.82\00:20:18.40
So it's very, very
clear that Christ is the One
00:20:25.44\00:20:28.92
that sows the good seed.
00:20:29.12\00:20:32.39
This is the seed.
Christ is the One that sows it,
00:20:32.50\00:20:36.51
and therefore you and I
are to come and we are to find
00:20:36.81\00:20:41.15
what the good seed is.
00:20:41.35\00:20:44.11
OK. Sowed good seed.
00:20:44.41\00:20:47.21
All right, let's go on. He says:
00:20:47.51\00:20:50.09
And so He's clearly
divided up, and as I told you
00:21:10.69\00:21:15.21
previous one... there
isn't three sides, folks.
00:21:15.41\00:21:19.10
We... we mustn't... we
mustn't try to make three sides.
00:21:20.63\00:21:25.71
There's either the
wheat and the tares.
00:21:26.01\00:21:28.42
They're one or the other.
That's the way the scripture is.
00:21:28.72\00:21:31.51
It does that all
the way through...
00:21:31.61\00:21:32.98
it talks about the
sheep and the goats.
00:21:33.01\00:21:34.90
Talks about the
righteous and the unrighteous.
00:21:35.20\00:21:37.27
Never talks about a third one.
00:21:37.57\00:21:40.50
Talks about two:
one side or the other.
00:21:40.80\00:21:43.33
So that's what you have here.
00:21:43.63\00:21:45.47
OK. Seed - good seed - are the
righteous, sons of the kingdom.
00:21:45.78\00:21:50.55
The tares are the
sons of the wicked one.
00:21:50.75\00:21:53.51
OK, so it's lined everything up.
00:22:15.01\00:22:17.94
We've got the good
seed: this is the righteous.
00:22:18.24\00:22:21.84
The tares are the wicked.
00:22:22.14\00:22:24.37
The harvest is
the end of the age,
00:22:24.68\00:22:28.98
and the reapers are the angels.
00:22:29.28\00:22:32.54
This is how it's divided up.
00:22:32.84\00:22:34.99
So scripture makes it
clear at the end all the tares
00:22:43.99\00:22:47.89
are going to be gathered
and gathered into bundles
00:22:48.09\00:22:51.05
and they will be burned.
00:22:51.25\00:22:53.90
In other words He said He's
going to send out His angels.
00:23:07.99\00:23:11.06
They're the reapers.
They're going to gather
00:23:11.26\00:23:13.52
all those that offend.
They'll be bound into bundles
00:23:13.82\00:23:18.29
and burned. That is
how it will come to an end.
00:23:18.49\00:23:24.14
Going to take them and
cast them into the furnace
00:23:32.97\00:23:35.43
and that will
be the end of them.
00:23:35.63\00:23:38.57
This is what Christ
describes is to take place
00:23:51.91\00:23:56.13
when He comes back and
the reaping is to take place.
00:23:56.34\00:24:00.56
It behooves you and me
00:24:00.86\00:24:04.05
to make sure that we are what?
00:24:05.57\00:24:11.06
That we are the
wheat... not the tares.
00:24:11.46\00:24:15.00
Got to be the
wheat... that's most important
00:24:15.23\00:24:19.45
that we are. All right:
00:24:19.65\00:24:22.08
So He who sat on the cloud...
00:24:30.08\00:24:31.98
Christ who is
sitting on the cloud...
00:24:32.18\00:24:33.90
is going to thrust in
His sickle, and the earth
00:24:34.20\00:24:37.69
is going to be reaped.
00:24:37.89\00:24:41.27
This is what is going to happen.
00:24:41.58\00:24:43.42
Who... when Christ
thrusts in His sickle
00:24:56.00\00:25:00.10
and reaps the earth...
00:25:00.30\00:25:02.48
who is He reaping?
00:25:02.68\00:25:05.39
Well if you read it carefully,
He's reaping the righteous.
00:25:07.71\00:25:11.00
That's who He's
reaping here is the righteous.
00:25:11.30\00:25:14.18
Cast in... thrust in His
sickle, began to reap the earth.
00:25:14.48\00:25:19.56
And who He is
reaping is the wheat.
00:25:19.66\00:25:23.56
That's what He's gathering here.
00:25:23.86\00:25:25.70
And it speaks of them here
00:25:26.01\00:25:27.66
that these wheat... or
those that follow the Lord...
00:25:27.96\00:25:31.76
have the seal of God.
00:25:31.96\00:25:34.83
So it says here, you
know: "Don't reap it... "
00:25:54.11\00:25:57.44
don't do... "leave it alone
00:25:57.64\00:25:59.39
until we have sealed
the servants of our God
00:25:59.69\00:26:03.62
on their foreheads. "
00:26:03.82\00:26:06.67
Now dear friends, this
takes place before Jesus comes.
00:26:07.10\00:26:13.10
The sealing here of God's
people does not take place
00:26:13.40\00:26:18.00
after He comes.
00:26:18.21\00:26:19.83
This takes
place before He comes.
00:26:20.13\00:26:22.35
This is what is
supposed to be going on
00:26:22.55\00:26:27.37
now.
00:26:27.97\00:26:30.30
This is what is
supposed to be going on now.
00:26:30.60\00:26:33.45
God is supposed to
be sealing His people.
00:26:33.75\00:26:37.93
Do you know what
it means by sealing?
00:26:38.13\00:26:39.82
Do you know what
that's talking about?
00:26:40.03\00:26:41.57
That is a
settling in to the truth.
00:26:42.88\00:26:46.65
That's what the sealing is:
the settling in into the truth.
00:26:46.95\00:26:51.31
That means that I
pick up the Word of God
00:26:51.61\00:26:56.07
and I read it and I
understand what it's saying.
00:26:56.27\00:27:01.86
And I settle into that and I
say "This is what I believe. "
00:27:02.16\00:27:07.64
"This is what I believe. This is
what the Word of God teaches. "
00:27:07.84\00:27:12.63
And I settle into that,
00:27:13.96\00:27:15.76
and by settling into
that I mean I don't permit
00:27:15.96\00:27:19.37
anything to change me.
00:27:19.57\00:27:22.25
I run onto
people that... they...
00:27:24.87\00:27:28.61
they talk to me and they
give all kinds of excuses
00:27:28.81\00:27:32.08
for not doing what
the scripture says.
00:27:33.22\00:27:37.06
You know, no...
00:27:38.35\00:27:41.38
I have to settle into the truth
and I don't let those things
00:27:41.69\00:27:46.41
keep me from doing
what the scripture says.
00:27:46.61\00:27:49.60
I'll be very honest with you,
00:27:51.35\00:27:53.22
I've been a lot
of times and cases
00:27:53.42\00:27:55.93
where I did not
like the circumstances.
00:27:56.13\00:28:01.39
I didn't like the circumstances
what was happening at all,
00:28:02.35\00:28:07.28
but I still had to stand
for what the Word of God says.
00:28:07.78\00:28:13.75
And so I have to
settle into the truth.
00:28:14.05\00:28:17.33
And this is what He means by
sealing the servants of our God
00:28:17.63\00:28:21.42
in their foreheads.
That means that in my belief
00:28:21.62\00:28:25.22
I am solid... I
don't deviate from that.
00:28:25.42\00:28:29.81
OK.
00:28:30.01\00:28:32.10
I settle into the truth. I
say: "This is what it says;
00:28:40.58\00:28:44.82
this is what I believe,
" and I follow it by faith.
00:28:45.02\00:28:49.80
That's how I
follow it: by faith.
00:28:50.10\00:28:52.40
Even though the
way may not be clear,
00:28:52.70\00:28:56.14
I still follow by faith.
00:28:56.44\00:29:00.79
I walk with Him in faith
00:29:00.99\00:29:03.72
knowing that He is more than
capable of taking care of me.
00:29:04.02\00:29:09.54
Now folks, what I'm
talking to you about
00:29:09.74\00:29:11.69
is what needs to be
going on in your life today
00:29:11.89\00:29:15.01
because you need to be preparing
for the coming of Jesus.
00:29:17.69\00:29:21.00
And this is what needs
to be going on in your life
00:29:21.40\00:29:24.63
right now today.
Not some other time...
00:29:24.83\00:29:29.01
but now we need
to be doing this.
00:29:29.21\00:29:31.67
You see, He gave us
the Sabbath to be a sign.
00:29:41.34\00:29:46.31
A sign - if you
please - of this very thing.
00:29:46.51\00:29:50.48
It's a sign that you and
I have committed our life
00:29:50.98\00:29:56.14
to God regardless of
what the world has to say.
00:29:56.34\00:29:59.74
The world goes a different
direction all together.
00:30:01.02\00:30:04.44
I CANNOT go by what
the world is saying.
00:30:04.74\00:30:10.35
I have to go by what
the Word of God says,
00:30:10.65\00:30:15.37
and therefore
the Sabbath is a sign
00:30:15.67\00:30:20.88
that He is able to sanctify us.
00:30:21.18\00:30:25.82
Now, when it says He is
able to sanctify us, folks,
00:30:27.72\00:30:32.50
that means that He's able to...
00:30:32.80\00:30:36.07
You know what that means?
00:30:36.67\00:30:39.40
He's able to change you and me.
00:30:39.70\00:30:43.69
That's what it
means... He's able to change us:
00:30:45.49\00:30:48.34
to make us into
what He wants us to be.
00:30:48.64\00:30:53.62
And the Sabbath is a
sign of this because He said
00:30:54.12\00:30:58.87
"I took a day and
I made a day holy...
00:30:59.07\00:31:02.99
so I can also make you holy. "
00:31:03.29\00:31:07.98
It's a protection.
00:31:14.32\00:31:16.12
You see, as long as
the Sabbath's there, folks,
00:31:18.43\00:31:22.22
and kept, it is a protection.
It's a barrier against humanism,
00:31:23.56\00:31:28.88
against evolution.
00:31:29.18\00:31:31.15
It's a barrier against
pride and arrogance of man.
00:31:31.46\00:31:34.80
It's a barrier
against all of those things
00:31:35.10\00:31:38.26
because I have to
accept that by faith.
00:31:38.57\00:31:42.86
That's how I have to
accept it is by faith
00:31:44.47\00:31:46.79
that God is more than
capable of taking care of me.
00:31:48.36\00:31:53.65
That He - if you please -
00:31:54.15\00:31:58.78
can put food on my table,
00:31:58.98\00:32:01.07
clothes on my back.
00:32:01.87\00:32:04.92
That He is
capable of doing this.
00:32:05.22\00:32:09.26
It does one other thing, too.
00:32:09.50\00:32:12.10
Every Sabbath that rolls around
00:32:12.40\00:32:15.83
it is a constant
reminder to you and to me
00:32:16.13\00:32:21.25
that God
00:32:22.53\00:32:25.92
is the One who
makes something holy.
00:32:26.22\00:32:31.27
That He's the One
who changes things.
00:32:31.57\00:32:34.36
That it is the work of
God; it is NOT the work of man.
00:32:34.46\00:32:39.77
This is what He
does for each one of us.
00:32:40.07\00:32:43.80
Now you can't have... well,
I shouldn't say you can't...
00:32:49.71\00:32:52.24
but you shouldn't. You
shouldn't have a harvest
00:32:52.54\00:32:55.69
until the fruit is ripe.
00:32:55.89\00:32:58.03
See? And so Christ is
patiently waiting on the fruit
00:32:59.13\00:33:04.93
to get ripe.
00:33:05.13\00:33:06.98
That's what He's waiting on.
00:33:07.18\00:33:08.55
And so it says...
it's here. It says here:
00:33:09.77\00:33:14.11
Now it says that the righteous
00:33:32.28\00:33:37.13
are going to be purified.
00:33:37.33\00:33:39.81
Made white, refined.
00:33:41.10\00:33:44.37
I don't know how to say
this and get across to you
00:33:47.10\00:33:52.52
how absolutely important it is:
00:33:52.72\00:33:55.37
now is the time when
this should be going on
00:33:56.77\00:34:01.82
because if you do not do it now
00:34:03.57\00:34:08.99
then you're going to do it
00:34:10.34\00:34:12.30
under very severe circumstances.
00:34:12.60\00:34:17.05
All you have to do
is just continue on
00:34:18.46\00:34:21.34
and not be concerned
00:34:21.54\00:34:24.75
and dear friend, we'll have to
face it under very severe times.
00:34:25.05\00:34:30.93
Listen to this:
00:34:31.13\00:34:32.69
If you and I do not
00:34:48.01\00:34:52.92
day by day learn
00:34:53.22\00:34:56.13
to surrender our lives to
the work of the Holy Spirit
00:34:56.43\00:35:01.15
and let Him do
His work in our lives,
00:35:01.35\00:35:04.72
then we are going to be
refined but it will be by fire.
00:35:04.92\00:35:10.26
It won't be a very
pleasant experience at all.
00:35:10.56\00:35:14.68
You see, He is just
simply waiting for His people.
00:35:25.89\00:35:30.66
He's waiting for His
people to come to the place
00:35:30.96\00:35:35.29
that their lives are changed
00:35:35.49\00:35:38.89
and made different
and they become like Him.
00:35:39.19\00:35:43.55
Then He can come
back and He can reap it.
00:35:43.85\00:35:47.25
But if we don't do it now
00:35:47.55\00:35:49.25
then as we looked at
the last session or two
00:35:51.02\00:35:56.97
those are going to be
very, very, very hard times.
00:35:57.17\00:36:01.60
That's the reason the Lord says:
00:36:01.90\00:36:03.56
"Blessed are those
that die in the Lord, "
00:36:03.59\00:36:05.57
because it's going to
be a rough period of time.
00:36:05.87\00:36:09.40
And these characters of ours
00:36:09.70\00:36:13.93
will be changed. OK.
00:36:14.23\00:36:18.25
But now these
fruits of the Spirit...
00:36:34.61\00:36:37.12
before they can be
reaped they have to be what?
00:36:38.62\00:36:43.73
They've got to be ripe.
00:36:45.45\00:36:47.45
So therefore you and I
must let the Holy Spirit
00:36:47.85\00:36:52.34
come into our lives and
do its work in our lives
00:36:52.54\00:36:56.33
that we will bear
the fruits of the Spirit.
00:36:56.64\00:37:01.17
In other words,
00:37:02.32\00:37:06.29
have to learn to be loving.
00:37:06.59\00:37:10.24
To be kind... longsuffering.
00:37:11.80\00:37:16.34
Peace.
00:37:16.64\00:37:20.29
You cannot let
the old carnal nature
00:37:20.59\00:37:24.36
run rampant.
00:37:25.54\00:37:27.78
You have to day by day
00:37:29.17\00:37:33.46
surrender it to
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:37:33.76\00:37:38.19
and ask His Holy
Spirit to come into your life
00:37:38.49\00:37:42.68
and change your life
and make it different.
00:37:42.98\00:37:46.26
It bothers me
when I hear churches
00:37:47.37\00:37:51.77
praying for the
baptism of the Holy Spirit.
00:37:51.97\00:37:57.68
That bothers me.
00:37:57.88\00:37:59.25
The Bible is very, very
clear on that subject, folks.
00:38:01.74\00:38:05.02
God has given us
the Spirit already.
00:38:05.42\00:38:09.32
That's been given; that was
given at the Day of Pentecost.
00:38:10.45\00:38:14.11
That's why Peter said
00:38:14.41\00:38:18.24
that... "Repent and be baptized
00:38:18.44\00:38:21.08
and you SHALL receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit. "
00:38:21.28\00:38:24.00
That's why Paul said: "Have
you received the Holy Spirit
00:38:24.30\00:38:26.65
since you believed? "
00:38:26.85\00:38:28.22
That was given to the church.
00:38:28.28\00:38:31.35
And I find that
people... putting that off
00:38:32.89\00:38:36.18
praying that something's
going to happen there.
00:38:36.38\00:38:38.20
That's already been given.
00:38:38.30\00:38:39.67
What has to happen is
you and I need to surrender
00:38:39.70\00:38:42.47
our lives so the Holy Spirit can
come in and work in our lives.
00:38:42.57\00:38:47.12
And He will do His work in us
00:38:47.62\00:38:50.78
and will change us
and make us different.
00:38:50.98\00:38:54.29
He wants in every way to
do that for you and for me.
00:38:54.59\00:38:58.73
But if I'm over here
praying for something that's
00:38:59.80\00:39:02.56
already happened,
you're not getting anywhere.
00:39:02.66\00:39:07.28
I need to keep
my life in His hands
00:39:07.58\00:39:11.32
and let the Holy Spirit
change me and make me different.
00:39:11.52\00:39:15.90
If you're gettin' up
ornery, out of sorts,
00:39:17.14\00:39:21.80
on the wrong side of the bed,
00:39:22.10\00:39:24.89
then get back in bed and
get out on the other side.
00:39:25.19\00:39:28.41
But don't... don't continue
00:39:29.01\00:39:32.15
to let that run
rampant in your life.
00:39:32.35\00:39:34.77
If you're
unkind, then dear friends
00:39:35.07\00:39:38.27
surrender your life to the Lord
00:39:38.47\00:39:40.04
and let Him handle the
circumstances and be kind.
00:39:40.24\00:39:43.20
Squelch your pride!
00:39:43.50\00:39:46.22
If you have a hard time
going to somebody and saying
00:39:46.52\00:39:50.12
"listen, I'm sorry;
forgive me for what I did, "
00:39:50.32\00:39:53.75
then squelch that pride and go!
00:39:54.05\00:39:56.52
You've got to let the Holy
Spirit work and do its work
00:39:56.82\00:40:00.93
in your life and my
life to prepare us for the
00:40:01.03\00:40:03.83
coming of Christ
because when He comes
00:40:03.93\00:40:06.29
He's going to
reap His harvest now.
00:40:06.49\00:40:09.63
And I can tell you right now
00:40:09.83\00:40:11.33
character is not
developed after Christ comes.
00:40:11.53\00:40:15.28
Character is developed now.
00:40:16.66\00:40:18.97
Those fruits of the Sprit
must be working in our lives.
00:40:20.05\00:40:25.97
If He does that,
what will happen?
00:40:29.51\00:40:32.25
You see, this
transformation of our characters
00:40:52.19\00:40:57.23
does not take place by trying.
00:40:57.43\00:41:03.28
It doesn't take
place by will power.
00:41:03.59\00:41:06.97
That will never work.
00:41:07.27\00:41:09.86
The transformation
of character takes place
00:41:10.16\00:41:14.15
by beholding Christ...
00:41:14.35\00:41:17.27
by spending time with Him.
00:41:17.57\00:41:19.62
Let me tell you a little secret:
00:41:19.92\00:41:21.29
if you spend time
thinking about all your sins,
00:41:22.63\00:41:27.91
you're going to do it more.
00:41:28.21\00:41:30.15
Don't spend time
on all your sins.
00:41:33.15\00:41:37.90
Spend your time
looking at Christ.
00:41:38.20\00:41:42.04
Dwelling upon Him...
spending time with Him.
00:41:42.34\00:41:46.03
And as you behold the
Lord, this transformation
00:41:46.13\00:41:50.19
will begin to take
place in your life.
00:41:50.39\00:41:52.64
We'll be changed.
00:41:52.84\00:41:54.39
It'll be made
different as you behold Jesus.
00:41:54.59\00:41:58.38
If you're not very kind,
if you're not very loving,
00:41:58.68\00:42:01.77
spend time with
Jesus. He'll change that.
00:42:01.97\00:42:04.92
He'll make you that way.
00:42:05.22\00:42:07.34
But you've got to
spend time with Him,
00:42:07.55\00:42:10.43
and this is the way
that character is formed
00:42:10.63\00:42:15.17
and developed so
that when Christ comes
00:42:15.47\00:42:18.39
it will be ripe and He will
be able to reap the harvest.
00:42:18.59\00:42:24.39
OK, now:
00:42:24.70\00:42:26.40
Interesting.
00:42:37.99\00:42:39.94
Who had the sickle and
who thrust it in and reaped it
00:42:40.44\00:42:45.65
to begin with?
00:42:45.95\00:42:47.63
Christ.
00:42:47.93\00:42:50.07
See Christ is the One
who reaps the righteous.
00:42:50.38\00:42:54.64
Christ is the One
who reaps the righteous.
00:42:56.27\00:42:58.83
Now this starts the
reaping of the wicked...
00:42:59.23\00:43:04.17
the lost.
00:43:05.59\00:43:07.11
That's what this
angel is about to do.
00:43:07.41\00:43:10.15
So it says that this was
the reaping of the wicked
00:43:52.37\00:43:58.30
took place. Now there's
a number of things here.
00:43:58.50\00:44:03.22
To begin with, the
wicked have made their decision.
00:44:03.42\00:44:08.67
They have decided that they're
going to follow the beast,
00:44:10.21\00:44:14.29
the false prophet, the dragon.
00:44:14.59\00:44:16.77
This cup of
iniquity is completely full.
00:44:26.65\00:44:31.48
There's no reason for
time to go on any longer.
00:44:31.78\00:44:35.49
God has been patient.
For 6,000 years He's waited,
00:44:35.79\00:44:40.86
and now He's ready
to thrust in His sickle.
00:44:41.16\00:44:44.85
When He does this,
these four angels...
00:44:45.15\00:44:49.07
four angels that God has
that He has given commission
00:44:49.27\00:44:54.13
to hold back... hold
back the winds of strife.
00:44:54.33\00:45:00.29
These angels are
patiently holding back
00:45:13.23\00:45:17.77
the winds of strife.
00:45:17.98\00:45:20.94
They've been holding
them for a long, long time.
00:45:22.11\00:45:27.90
As far as I'm concerned,
00:45:28.30\00:45:31.30
I believe a
little bit of those winds
00:45:31.40\00:45:36.58
are beginning to seep through.
00:45:36.78\00:45:38.95
And you and I are beginning
to see some of these winds
00:45:39.25\00:45:44.70
of strife that
are going to happen.
00:45:44.90\00:45:46.91
But the day's going to come
00:45:47.11\00:45:48.48
when He's going to tell
them: "Let them loose. "
00:45:48.67\00:45:51.00
And when God lets those loose
00:45:51.30\00:45:54.68
terrible will be the results.
00:45:54.88\00:45:57.69
Here the wrath of God is
contained in these seven plagues
00:46:20.85\00:46:26.64
or seven bowls:
00:46:26.84\00:46:28.21
The wrath of God is
going to be poured out
00:46:40.04\00:46:44.49
upon this earth
00:46:44.69\00:46:47.09
like mankind has never seen.
00:46:47.39\00:46:51.41
You know, we talk
about weapons of warfare.
00:46:52.11\00:46:56.03
We don't have any idea.
00:46:57.19\00:47:00.26
We don't have
the slightest concept
00:47:00.56\00:47:03.10
of what the weapons of God are.
00:47:03.40\00:47:06.66
I mean, we talk about
the force of an atom bomb.
00:47:06.96\00:47:11.88
It's nothing compared
to the forces that God has.
00:47:12.08\00:47:16.83
And when He unleashes
them and the seven last plagues
00:47:17.13\00:47:21.39
mankind will have
never seen anything like it
00:47:21.63\00:47:25.21
or ever will see
anything like it again.
00:47:25.41\00:47:27.86
"For in it the wrath
of God is complete. "
00:47:28.16\00:47:31.84
So you have two angels here.
00:47:40.73\00:47:42.38
You have one
angel that has a sickle
00:47:42.68\00:47:46.01
and you have another
angel that has power over fire.
00:47:46.31\00:47:50.61
Those are the two that
have come to reap the earth
00:47:50.92\00:47:55.43
of the harvest of the tares.
00:47:55.63\00:47:58.82
That's what those two are doing.
00:47:59.12\00:48:00.75
That's why it says the
angels are the reapers.
00:48:00.95\00:48:03.96
They come to reap it.
00:48:04.26\00:48:06.37
That's going to
happen... going to reap it.
00:48:14.98\00:48:19.37
So it will be at
the end of this age.
00:48:19.57\00:48:24.24
Now let me
explain. This is projecting
00:48:39.44\00:48:43.67
right down at the very end in
the destruction of the wicked.
00:48:43.87\00:48:48.88
When there it
speaks of the wicked
00:48:49.08\00:48:53.62
coming up and
surrounding the city.
00:48:53.82\00:48:57.22
Here all the wicked are
00:49:05.41\00:49:07.24
that have ever lived
since the beginning of mankind.
00:49:07.54\00:49:11.16
There they are and they
have come up and they have
00:49:11.36\00:49:15.26
surrounded the city
of God. The Bible says
00:49:15.46\00:49:18.43
that the rest of the
dead did not live again
00:49:18.63\00:49:21.62
until the thousand
years were finished.
00:49:21.72\00:49:23.59
And when that
thousand years is finished
00:49:23.89\00:49:25.86
all the wicked are
resurrected from their graves
00:49:26.06\00:49:28.93
and the devil will
marshal them and they'll go up
00:49:29.13\00:49:32.09
and they will
surround the city of God.
00:49:32.30\00:49:35.30
This is what
this is talking about.
00:49:37.32\00:49:40.44
And then it says:
00:49:41.00\00:49:43.51
One of those angels
has the power of what?
00:49:50.19\00:49:53.68
Fire.
00:49:53.98\00:49:55.62
He comes. This is the very end
00:49:55.92\00:49:59.78
when they will be
thrown into the fire -
00:49:59.98\00:50:03.04
the tares will
be - and burned up.
00:50:03.24\00:50:06.08
They will be no more.
00:50:06.28\00:50:08.20
This is what
happens, takes place.
00:50:08.50\00:50:10.23
I want you to read a
statement from the book entitled
00:50:10.53\00:50:13.37
The Great Controversy
00:50:13.57\00:50:14.94
that speaks of this
very period of time.
00:50:14.97\00:50:18.20
This is what it says:
00:50:18.50\00:50:20.17
Here these people -
the devil and his agents
00:50:51.12\00:50:55.50
who have deceived the people,
00:50:55.70\00:50:57.68
who told them they
didn't need to do this -
00:50:57.88\00:51:00.08
as they're there faced at
that city and they see all this
00:51:00.28\00:51:04.10
and they understand
that their case is lost,
00:51:04.30\00:51:06.75
that it's hopeless -
00:51:06.95\00:51:08.32
they turn their wrath and
their anger upon the devil
00:51:08.39\00:51:13.10
and his agents.
00:51:13.30\00:51:15.38
And the Bible describes
exactly what happens to them
00:51:15.68\00:51:20.65
because this is
what it tells us:
00:51:20.95\00:51:22.97
Talks... they're there.
00:51:38.97\00:51:41.29
It's going to be of blood,
and that blood is fuel for fire.
00:51:42.52\00:51:46.51
Terrible will be
that. I mean, folks,
00:51:59.83\00:52:03.23
here is all the wicked that have
ever lived outside that city.
00:52:03.44\00:52:06.68
So you're not talking
about one or two people.
00:52:06.78\00:52:09.25
You're talking about billions
00:52:09.45\00:52:11.28
that are gathered
outside that city.
00:52:11.58\00:52:14.39
And there are thousands
- millions and millions
00:52:14.69\00:52:18.83
of people who have
been agents of the devil
00:52:19.03\00:52:22.74
to deceive the people.
00:52:23.04\00:52:24.60
And when the
people turn upon them,
00:52:24.90\00:52:26.77
terrible will be the
slaughter that takes place.
00:52:26.87\00:52:30.82
Talks about the
blood coming up as high as
00:52:31.12\00:52:34.09
the bridles of horses.
00:52:34.19\00:52:35.89
It will run
for... for 184 miles.
00:52:36.19\00:52:41.18
That's what it says.
00:52:41.48\00:52:42.87
Terrible will be the slaughter
that takes place there.
00:52:44.49\00:52:46.97
This is what
will happen at the end
00:52:59.59\00:53:01.93
when the whole thing
comes to an end and it's reaped.
00:53:02.13\00:53:06.09
God in His mercy
puts an end to all of it.
00:53:07.76\00:53:13.42
This old earth will be burned.
00:53:28.35\00:53:31.67
All the wicked will be as...
00:53:31.97\00:53:35.78
snare... be as weeds.
00:53:37.39\00:53:41.80
They will be burned up.
00:53:42.10\00:53:43.86
Going to come back. Going
to put an end to all the sin
00:53:52.53\00:53:57.67
and never again throughout
the ceaseless ages of eternity
00:53:57.97\00:54:03.01
will there be such a
thing as sin any more.
00:54:03.21\00:54:06.22
There will be no more heartache.
00:54:06.53\00:54:09.06
There'll be no more sorrow.
00:54:09.36\00:54:11.45
All that will be gone,
00:54:11.75\00:54:13.92
and the righteous will
reign with Him supremely
00:54:14.22\00:54:17.25
throughout eternity.
00:54:17.55\00:54:19.21
Let us pray.
00:54:19.51\00:54:20.88
Father we thank you
00:54:21.01\00:54:22.75
for the promise
that You're coming back.
00:54:23.05\00:54:25.45
May each one of us here
00:54:26.76\00:54:28.91
give our allegiance to You.
00:54:29.21\00:54:33.30
May we follow You and walk
with You in all that we do.
00:54:33.60\00:54:37.71
May we be settled into
the truth of Your Word.
00:54:38.01\00:54:41.97
For this we ask in
Christ's name, Amen.
00:54:42.17\00:54:46.07
Well, we're coming down to
the very end of this session.
00:54:49.32\00:54:54.55
And this evening our subject is
00:54:54.85\00:54:57.98
The Seven Last Plagues.
00:54:58.28\00:54:59.66
We're going to take
a look at these plagues
00:54:59.86\00:55:02.35
that these angels turn loose
and what happens on the earth.
00:55:02.45\00:55:06.00
So we hope you
can be here for that
00:55:06.20\00:55:08.56
and that you'll
continue to follow God's Word.
00:55:08.86\00:55:12.23
God bless you;
thank you for being here.
00:55:12.54\00:55:14.53
All around us we
see want and suffering.
00:55:22.54\00:55:25.22
In large cities,
millions of human beings
00:55:25.52\00:55:28.46
do not receive as
much care and consideration
00:55:28.66\00:55:31.18
as we give beasts of the field.
00:55:31.38\00:55:33.73
Families are herded
together in miserable projects.
00:55:34.03\00:55:37.06
Children are born
into these terrible places.
00:55:37.36\00:55:40.55
They see nothing of
the beauty God has created
00:55:40.85\00:55:43.66
to delight their senses.
00:55:43.86\00:55:45.55
They are left to grow
up molded and fashioned by
00:55:45.85\00:55:48.41
wretched and wicked
examples all around them.
00:55:48.61\00:55:51.76
They hear the name of
God only in profanity.
00:55:52.06\00:55:54.79
Impure words and
fumes of liquor and tobacco
00:55:55.09\00:55:58.36
and immoral
behavior of every kind
00:55:58.56\00:56:01.29
pervert their tender senses.
00:56:01.49\00:56:03.84
Wretched and pitiful cries
for food and clothing are heard
00:56:04.14\00:56:08.14
by parents who know nothing
about prayer or a loving Savior.
00:56:08.34\00:56:12.55
But these cries do
not go unheard in heaven.
00:56:12.85\00:56:15.91
God sees... God hears.
00:56:16.31\00:56:19.46
Friends, our loving
Father has entrusted us
00:56:19.96\00:56:23.32
with abundance to
supply the necessities of all.
00:56:23.52\00:56:26.38
But sadly, we're not
always faithful stewards.
00:56:26.68\00:56:30.44
Many who have taken
on the name of Christ
00:56:30.74\00:56:33.04
spend His money
for selfish pleasure,
00:56:33.24\00:56:35.81
extravagant homes and clothing.
00:56:36.01\00:56:38.16
They hardly give a
suffering human a look of pity
00:56:38.46\00:56:42.21
or a word of sympathy.
00:56:42.41\00:56:44.03
We are to show the
kindness of the Samaritan
00:56:44.33\00:56:47.09
in food, clothing,
and shelter for the poor.
00:56:47.29\00:56:50.54
As Christians, our work
is to reach the people who
00:56:50.84\00:56:53.92
are neglected and
win them to Christ.
00:56:54.02\00:56:56.29
That's the goal
of this ministry.
00:56:56.59\00:56:59.13
We want them to know that He
is able to save to the uttermost
00:56:59.43\00:57:03.09
and restore them to His image.
00:57:03.29\00:57:05.36
But in order to do
this, we need your help.
00:57:05.66\00:57:08.97
Please consider
what you can do for those
00:57:09.27\00:57:11.96
who still don't
know about Jesus.
00:57:12.16\00:57:14.05
As the Holy Spirit impresses,
00:57:14.25\00:57:15.85
please send your
tax-deductible gifts to:
00:57:15.88\00:57:18.09
Thank you for helping us
spread the light of God's Word
00:57:31.35\00:57:34.02
through television. Your
gifts bring the blessed hope
00:57:34.05\00:57:36.91
of salvation to
millions around the world.
