And we welcome you to The
Revelation of Jesus Christ:
00:00:18.16\00:00:22.36
a study of the
book of Revelation.
00:00:22.66\00:00:25.22
And we are coming down to
the very close of the book.
00:00:25.42\00:00:30.49
In fact, looking at
chapter 21 in this presentation.
00:00:30.79\00:00:36.56
And so we hope that
as we have gone through
00:00:36.86\00:00:39.24
the book of Revelation that
it has helped you understand
00:00:39.44\00:00:42.88
this great, great book
00:00:43.08\00:00:45.05
that God has given for you
and I that are living today.
00:00:45.35\00:00:50.16
And we hope that
you will continue -
00:00:50.36\00:00:52.47
even after we have finished
- that you'll continue to study
00:00:52.68\00:00:56.46
and look at the book
because I can tell you
00:00:56.76\00:00:59.32
you don't get to
the bottom of it.
00:00:59.52\00:01:02.31
That you don't. I've
studied it now for years
00:01:02.51\00:01:05.92
and I still find
new things all the time.
00:01:06.12\00:01:09.39
So you're not going to...
you're not going to deplete
00:01:09.69\00:01:13.47
the book. And just spend time
in it; the Lord will bless you.
00:01:13.67\00:01:17.10
If you do, you'll be
blessed in a special way.
00:01:17.40\00:01:20.19
And we'd like to
welcome all of you that are here
00:01:20.49\00:01:22.85
and those that are
watching by television
00:01:23.05\00:01:25.62
or you're listening on
the radio or on the Internet,
00:01:25.82\00:01:30.07
we're very happy that
you're... have tuned in.
00:01:30.37\00:01:32.67
And we hope that as you
go through this presentation
00:01:32.87\00:01:36.06
this evening that it will
bless you in a special way.
00:01:36.26\00:01:39.03
So we encourage you
to get out your Bible.
00:01:39.33\00:01:41.92
Get you a pencil and
some paper and take notes
00:01:42.22\00:01:45.79
because we're going
to take a close look
00:01:46.09\00:01:48.22
at this wonderful city that God
has prepared for you and for me.
00:01:48.42\00:01:54.28
Revelation the 21st chapter:
00:01:54.48\00:01:58.21
this is a culmination of
all that God has promised,
00:01:58.41\00:02:03.38
and so you'll be
blessed as we go along.
00:02:03.68\00:02:06.14
One more chapter left, and
that's our next presentation.
00:02:06.44\00:02:10.80
That's the last
one... chapter 22.
00:02:11.10\00:02:14.33
That's what we'll be
looking at in chapter 22.
00:02:17.37\00:02:20.47
In that chapter
00:02:21.62\00:02:23.15
there is a very, very
interesting observation
00:02:23.35\00:02:28.93
that God makes
concerning each one of you.
00:02:29.13\00:02:31.85
Seriously...
about each one of you.
00:02:32.16\00:02:35.16
And certain things
that God has in mind
00:02:35.46\00:02:39.49
about you and
concerning what you will do.
00:02:39.69\00:02:43.19
And so we hope you'll be here
00:02:43.29\00:02:45.44
or listening on
the radio or television
00:02:45.64\00:02:47.91
as we go into chapter
22: The Victory Is Won.
00:02:48.11\00:02:52.94
I think you'll find it
very, very encouraging to you.
00:02:53.15\00:02:56.88
We've been
blessed... thankful...
00:02:57.18\00:03:00.82
to have with us
the His Voice quartet.
00:03:01.02\00:03:04.40
They have been a
great blessing to me,
00:03:04.70\00:03:07.63
and I appreciate them very much.
00:03:07.93\00:03:09.90
They're going to sing
a wonderful song today.
00:03:10.10\00:03:12.33
They're going to sing a song
entitled Ride On King Jesus,
00:03:12.64\00:03:16.57
and you'll be blessed by it.
00:03:16.87\00:03:19.27
But before they do,
00:03:19.57\00:03:21.78
Chuck's going to come and
he's going to read, folks,
00:03:21.98\00:03:24.63
Revelation 21 and
the first five verses
00:03:24.83\00:03:29.45
of chapter 22.
00:03:29.66\00:03:31.84
All that goes together.
00:03:32.14\00:03:33.56
So follow carefully as he reads.
00:03:33.86\00:03:36.19
Well, if you have your Bibles,
00:03:41.31\00:03:42.77
please take them and turn
them to the book of Revelation
00:03:42.97\00:03:45.68
chapter 21 and
we'll read together.
00:03:45.88\00:03:49.03
So if you have your
Bibles, let's read together now.
00:03:49.33\00:03:51.91
May God add His
blessing to His Word.
00:09:12.98\00:09:15.89
Who are these in shining armor,
00:09:19.54\00:09:24.37
Whence the glory so bright?
00:09:24.41\00:09:29.21
Ah, they come from yonder city,
00:09:29.61\00:09:33.79
where Christ is all the light.
00:09:34.09\00:09:38.88
Ride on... ride on,
00:09:39.18\00:09:41.27
King Jesus.
00:09:41.47\00:09:43.50
To victory, ride on... ride on.
00:09:43.80\00:09:48.23
In glory, and power,
00:09:48.53\00:09:52.48
and majesty sublime;
00:09:52.78\00:09:57.12
Ride on... ride on, King Jesus.
00:09:57.42\00:10:01.63
To victory, ride on... ride on.
00:10:01.93\00:10:06.22
Till Heav'n and earth
00:10:06.52\00:10:08.74
shall own Thee, Lord,
00:10:08.94\00:10:13.76
O, conq'ring One,
00:10:14.06\00:10:17.77
ride on.
00:10:17.97\00:10:22.80
Sing for joy ye remnant people!
00:10:23.10\00:10:27.85
Your redemption draws near;
00:10:28.15\00:10:32.71
When the King in all His beauty
00:10:33.01\00:10:37.57
in glory shall appear.
00:10:37.78\00:10:42.56
Ride on... ride on,
00:10:42.86\00:10:44.77
King Jesus.
00:10:44.97\00:10:47.00
To victory, ride on... ride on.
00:10:47.30\00:10:51.93
In glory, and power,
00:10:52.23\00:10:56.36
and majesty sublime.
00:10:56.66\00:11:01.23
Ride on... ride on, King Jesus.
00:11:01.53\00:11:05.83
To victory, ride on... ride on.
00:11:06.13\00:11:10.66
Till Heav'n and earth
00:11:10.96\00:11:13.66
shall own Thee, Lord,
00:11:13.86\00:11:19.59
O, conq'ring One,
00:11:20.09\00:11:26.04
ride on...
00:11:27.07\00:11:32.58
ride
00:11:32.88\00:11:36.75
on.
00:11:36.95\00:11:42.26
Amen!
00:11:42.56\00:11:44.47
We look forward, Lord,
00:12:00.52\00:12:02.69
to the day that
You're coming back...
00:12:03.93\00:12:06.13
When you gather all Your people
00:12:07.72\00:12:10.98
and that we can
go home with You.
00:12:11.28\00:12:14.38
Bless us now, Lord,
as we open Your Word.
00:12:14.68\00:12:18.63
We pray that
You'll open our minds.
00:12:18.93\00:12:22.40
That the Holy
Spirit may be present.
00:12:22.80\00:12:27.98
That our hearts will be pliable.
00:12:28.28\00:12:31.63
That we will be
surrendered to Your will
00:12:31.93\00:12:35.36
and that we might
see and grasp Your love,
00:12:35.67\00:12:41.49
Your kindness,
and Your greatness.
00:12:41.69\00:12:43.97
We pray, Lord, that each one
that is listening or watching
00:12:44.47\00:12:50.33
or following, Lord...
00:12:50.53\00:12:52.91
Bless them. May they
purpose in their hearts
00:12:53.12\00:12:57.71
to follow You...
to be in Your kingdom.
00:12:57.91\00:13:01.20
For this we ask in
Christ's name, Amen.
00:13:01.51\00:13:05.82
The 21st chapter of
Revelation actually opens with
00:13:14.39\00:13:20.30
Christ reaffirming a commitment
that He made to His people.
00:13:20.80\00:13:26.70
Years and years ago
00:13:26.90\00:13:29.32
He made this commitment
to His people. He said:
00:13:29.62\00:13:33.65
So He made a
covenant with people...
00:13:49.44\00:13:53.11
with His people.
00:13:53.41\00:13:55.01
All those down through the
ages that have accepted Him,
00:13:55.31\00:13:59.70
walked with Him, followed Him...
00:13:59.90\00:14:02.90
these are His people.
00:14:03.10\00:14:05.73
And He said: "I will be your God
00:14:06.03\00:14:08.82
and you shall be My people. "
00:14:09.12\00:14:12.51
That's the covenant He made with
them and with you and with me.
00:14:12.81\00:14:16.95
So the 21st
chapter of Revelation opens
00:14:17.25\00:14:20.63
with Him re-stating that,
00:14:20.83\00:14:23.29
because He says here:
00:14:23.39\00:14:25.29
So there's the covenant that He
made way back in the beginning
00:14:47.87\00:14:52.08
and He said: "Now
the time has come. "
00:14:52.28\00:14:55.21
You see, sin is no more.
00:14:55.41\00:14:58.97
That's all been done away with.
00:14:59.27\00:15:02.09
Now it's
opening up into eternity
00:15:02.39\00:15:05.34
and He said:
"These are My people
00:15:05.45\00:15:07.32
and I will be their God.
00:15:07.52\00:15:09.82
And I will dwell with them. "
00:15:10.02\00:15:12.88
That He's going to
be with His people;
00:15:16.07\00:15:19.16
that He's going to be their God.
00:15:19.36\00:15:21.38
And so He continues on and says:
00:15:21.58\00:15:23.98
What's that telling you?
00:15:37.82\00:15:39.28
It's all gone... sin's no more.
00:15:39.68\00:15:42.40
There's no
sorrow. There's no pain.
00:15:42.70\00:15:45.41
All that is past... The
former things are passed away.
00:15:45.71\00:15:49.88
Glory hallelujah!
There'll be no more of that.
00:15:50.08\00:15:53.02
See? All over!
00:15:53.22\00:15:55.66
That's what He's starting this
chapter in Revelation saying
00:15:55.96\00:15:59.66
that you and I can
rejoice because all these things
00:15:59.86\00:16:03.88
that's been going
on for 6,000 years
00:16:04.08\00:16:07.06
have come to an end.
He has made an end to sin
00:16:07.26\00:16:11.05
and now eternity
can begin in which
00:16:11.35\00:16:16.80
righteousness
and joy and goodness
00:16:17.00\00:16:22.35
will rule.
00:16:22.66\00:16:24.42
Wonderful! All things new.
00:16:34.36\00:16:36.97
Said: "I'm going to
make all things new.
00:16:42.91\00:16:45.04
All this is true. "
00:16:45.34\00:16:47.28
God is coming back
and what He's doing is
00:16:47.58\00:16:50.40
emphasizing it for you
and for me saying: "Listen,
00:16:50.60\00:16:53.66
this is true.
You can depend on it.
00:16:53.86\00:16:55.97
No question about it. "
00:16:56.27\00:16:57.64
All things are new.
That's what He did at His coming
00:16:57.93\00:17:02.04
as far as you and I are
concerned: He made us new.
00:17:02.34\00:17:07.51
Changed us.
00:17:07.82\00:17:09.64
Made new, see? That's
going to be wonderful.
00:17:16.01\00:17:19.36
Be made new. I
know there's some of you
00:17:29.77\00:17:32.04
that when I come out here
at night and I kneel you wonder
00:17:32.24\00:17:35.54
if I'm going to get up or not.
00:17:35.74\00:17:37.29
Well, I've got to admit
age does make a difference
00:17:38.68\00:17:41.70
and it has its affects on
you, no question about it.
00:17:41.73\00:17:44.93
But there is coming a
day when it will all be new.
00:17:45.23\00:17:49.53
That will not be that way
any more, no question about it.
00:17:49.73\00:17:53.44
Won't that be wonderful?
00:18:01.79\00:18:03.47
Put on immortality.
00:18:03.67\00:18:05.20
Never, never down
through the eons of time
00:18:05.30\00:18:09.22
never again will death
ever cross the whole stage.
00:18:09.42\00:18:13.42
Never will it be thought of.
00:18:13.52\00:18:15.36
Be no more... over.
00:18:15.79\00:18:18.94
Marvelous. Took our
bodies and made them brand new.
00:18:43.11\00:18:48.86
There won't be...
00:18:50.06\00:18:52.73
There will not be
such a thing as age.
00:18:53.03\00:18:57.50
Age only comes to it
because there is an end.
00:18:59.66\00:19:04.36
But when you get to
eternity and there is no end,
00:19:04.66\00:19:07.55
there's no age.
00:19:07.75\00:19:09.22
Ceases to be.
00:19:09.52\00:19:11.42
So you and I will
be made brand new.
00:19:11.73\00:19:16.59
Think about it
00:19:18.37\00:19:19.93
how wonderful that'll be.
00:19:20.23\00:19:21.72
See... all the
things that we face today...
00:19:23.55\00:19:27.72
all the pain and the heartache
and the suffering and all.
00:19:27.92\00:19:32.69
No more. And, you
know, as you grow older
00:19:32.99\00:19:37.02
all of us face
the sad experience.
00:19:37.32\00:19:42.05
You know, we grow
older and as we grow older
00:19:42.35\00:19:45.00
our friends grow older.
00:19:45.20\00:19:47.53
You know, and as they grow
older some of them pass away.
00:19:47.83\00:19:51.78
And sin does that
00:19:52.95\00:19:54.64
because we live in a
world of sin and death,
00:19:54.94\00:19:57.16
but that will be no more.
00:19:57.36\00:19:59.96
Not only will that be no more,
00:20:00.26\00:20:01.97
He's going to take this old
earth and make it brand new.
00:20:02.27\00:20:05.59
And it will be like something
that we have never seen
00:20:05.89\00:20:09.98
nor could imagine.
00:20:10.18\00:20:11.97
So going to build houses.
We're going to inhabit them.
00:20:23.93\00:20:28.50
Going to plant vineyards...
eat the fruit of them.
00:20:28.71\00:20:31.48
It will all be
new. I guarantee you
00:20:31.78\00:20:35.68
it will be a
different kind of work.
00:20:35.88\00:20:39.40
That will be wonderful.
00:21:03.68\00:21:05.11
I don't know if you've ever
spent much time on the desert?
00:21:05.31\00:21:09.01
But the first few
years of my ministry I spent
00:21:10.08\00:21:13.77
about five years
basically through the desert.
00:21:13.98\00:21:19.61
And I can
guarantee you, it will take
00:21:19.95\00:21:23.50
a miracle of God to
make it blossom as a rose.
00:21:23.70\00:21:27.42
But it will!
00:21:27.72\00:21:29.71
So wonderful! Our bodies
will all be made brand new.
00:21:47.26\00:21:51.56
The earth will be
made completely new.
00:21:51.76\00:21:56.17
God will create it, and every-
thing will be in perfection
00:21:56.47\00:22:00.54
and will work as it should.
00:22:00.74\00:22:03.56
So there'll not be anything that
will be against it any more.
00:22:03.86\00:22:08.44
All that He promises for us.
00:22:08.64\00:22:10.60
That eye hath not
seen nor ear heard.
00:22:23.71\00:22:27.16
We can't imagine what it's like.
00:22:27.46\00:22:30.88
I've often thought about
that. When I was a kid in school
00:22:31.08\00:22:36.32
I can remember all
of us kids went to town
00:22:36.62\00:22:40.12
one day... over the
weekend. Got in town
00:22:40.43\00:22:44.87
and here were placards and
posters up all over the town
00:22:44.97\00:22:47.91
saying the circus
was coming to town.
00:22:48.11\00:22:49.94
I grew up, you know, and
we... we all got excited about
00:22:50.24\00:22:54.19
the circus coming to town.
I grew up out in the country
00:22:54.29\00:22:57.07
and I just lived about two miles
away from this little town.
00:22:57.27\00:23:01.11
I mean very... If you
blinked, you missed it.
00:23:01.32\00:23:03.79
And... little town. And
so if something came our way,
00:23:04.09\00:23:07.66
that was a big deal. I mean...
00:23:07.86\00:23:10.30
And so the
circus coming to town...
00:23:10.60\00:23:12.13
that was a
great, great big deal.
00:23:12.33\00:23:15.10
So when we got back to school,
that's what all of us kids did:
00:23:15.40\00:23:18.79
we played circus.
00:23:18.99\00:23:20.64
I mean, that's what we did.
00:23:20.74\00:23:22.11
And I mean we had huge
lions. We had elephants.
00:23:22.14\00:23:25.40
We flew from
trapezes. We did somersaults.
00:23:25.60\00:23:29.59
We did things in our imagination
that was absolutely fantastic
00:23:29.62\00:23:34.16
as we played circus.
00:23:34.36\00:23:36.29
Then I'll never
forget... the circus got there.
00:23:37.35\00:23:41.35
And I went to the circus,
00:23:42.51\00:23:44.16
and it wasn't near as
good as my imagination.
00:23:44.46\00:23:47.86
See? It just won't
be that way in heaven.
00:23:48.16\00:23:51.94
It'll always be greater
because our eye can't see
00:23:52.14\00:23:56.13
or our ear heard...
Can't imagine the things
00:23:56.33\00:23:59.32
that God has prepared
for those who love Him.
00:23:59.45\00:24:02.33
This is what He's
done for you and for me.
00:24:02.83\00:24:07.75
So let's take a
look at this city.
00:24:08.05\00:24:11.29
Indeed, He's the bridegroom.
00:24:24.08\00:24:27.16
He's gone. He's prepared
this place with His own hands
00:24:27.36\00:24:31.33
for His bride
00:24:31.63\00:24:33.78
and now this city is
coming down to the earth
00:24:34.08\00:24:37.83
prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband.
00:24:38.03\00:24:41.33
When it's talking about
the city it says that it is
00:25:01.68\00:25:06.73
twelve thousand furlongs.
00:25:06.93\00:25:09.11
The length, the
breadth, and height are equal.
00:25:09.41\00:25:15.09
In other words, it's
twelve thousand furlongs wide.
00:25:15.33\00:25:21.25
It's twelve
thousand furlongs long,
00:25:21.65\00:25:26.69
and it is twelve
thousand furlongs high
00:25:26.99\00:25:31.57
because it says its
length and breadth and height
00:25:32.07\00:25:37.17
are equal.
00:25:37.37\00:25:39.32
So if you have something
that is twelve thousand furlongs
00:25:39.63\00:25:44.14
wide, twelve
thousand furlongs long,
00:25:44.44\00:25:49.34
and twelve
thousand furlongs high,
00:25:49.54\00:25:52.50
what do you have?
00:25:52.70\00:25:54.17
You've got a cube!
That's what you've got.
00:25:54.67\00:25:58.90
That's what it says that it is:
it's twelve thousand furlongs.
00:25:59.20\00:26:03.84
It's a cube.
00:26:04.15\00:26:06.86
Now if you've got
twelve thousand furlongs:
00:26:07.16\00:26:12.60
the length, the breadth,
the height of it are equal
00:26:12.80\00:26:17.00
and that's a cube. OK.
00:26:17.20\00:26:20.54
Then if you've got
that, how many edges
00:26:20.74\00:26:26.28
do you have to a cube?
00:26:26.48\00:26:30.16
You think a little bit.
00:26:33.56\00:26:36.52
You've got six sides,
but I didn't say sides...
00:26:38.32\00:26:41.97
I said edges.
00:26:42.17\00:26:43.80
How many edges do you have?
00:26:44.11\00:26:46.69
Twelve. Exactly.
00:26:46.99\00:26:49.99
So if you've got
twelve thousand furlongs
00:26:50.19\00:26:52.35
and you've got
twelve thousand edges,
00:26:52.55\00:26:55.35
because each edge is
twelve thousand furlongs.
00:26:55.55\00:26:59.60
So if you multiply
twelve times twelve thousand
00:26:59.80\00:27:04.48
what does that give you?
00:27:04.68\00:27:06.34
Gives you 144,000.
00:27:06.64\00:27:10.13
See? That gives you a 144,000.
00:27:11.83\00:27:16.45
So it's twelve
thousand furlongs high,
00:27:16.59\00:27:19.89
twelve thousand furlongs wide,
00:27:19.93\00:27:22.61
twelve thousand furlongs long.
00:27:22.64\00:27:25.25
The city is a cube.
There's a reason for that,
00:27:25.29\00:27:28.32
folks. A very,
very definite reason.
00:27:28.35\00:27:31.63
Now, there are
eight furlongs in a mile.
00:27:31.93\00:27:35.88
OK? So if you divide
00:27:36.19\00:27:40.08
eight into twelve thousand,
what does that give you?
00:27:40.29\00:27:45.53
See how your math is.
00:27:45.84\00:27:49.01
Well that tells you that it is
00:27:49.31\00:27:51.41
375 miles on a side.
00:27:51.51\00:27:55.99
So that city is 375 miles long,
00:27:56.29\00:28:01.77
375 miles wide,
00:28:01.98\00:28:04.08
and 375 miles high.
00:28:04.28\00:28:07.58
You and I can't really
comprehend that very well
00:28:09.35\00:28:13.15
when you start
trying to put it together.
00:28:13.45\00:28:16.21
The city basically is the size
00:28:16.51\00:28:20.21
of the state of Colorado.
00:28:20.41\00:28:22.84
That's just about what
the state of Colorado is.
00:28:23.14\00:28:27.19
And so the city is that size.
00:28:27.49\00:28:30.11
And this is a city
that Christ has prepared.
00:28:30.41\00:28:33.49
And let me tell you something:
I have people I've talked to
00:28:33.69\00:28:36.12
from time to time
and they say to me:
00:28:36.32\00:28:37.89
"Oh Brother Cox, I'm
not concerned about that
00:28:38.00\00:28:40.22
because there
wouldn't be room for me. "
00:28:40.32\00:28:43.06
Let me tell you something:
00:28:43.36\00:28:45.96
there's room in that
city for every man, woman,
00:28:46.17\00:28:49.92
and child that has ever lived.
00:28:50.13\00:28:53.30
There is room for you
there I will guarantee you.
00:28:55.21\00:28:59.96
So in this wall are 12 gates.
00:29:13.51\00:29:18.14
On... at each gate is an angel.
00:29:18.64\00:29:22.59
And over the top of
each gate is the name of
00:29:22.90\00:29:26.21
one of the tribes of Israel.
00:29:26.41\00:29:29.04
Three gates on each side.
00:29:36.83\00:29:38.82
So over one gate
would be the name of Judah.
00:29:44.67\00:29:50.28
Over another gate would
be the name of Benjamin.
00:29:50.58\00:29:54.26
Over another gate
would be the name of Simeon.
00:29:54.56\00:29:57.27
Over another gate
would be the name of Gad.
00:29:57.57\00:30:03.43
So you have the different tribes
of the children of Israel,
00:30:03.73\00:30:06.70
a name over each one. Hmmm.
00:30:06.90\00:30:09.99
I thought the city
was a city for all people.
00:30:10.22\00:30:13.15
Hmmm? Well then, let me ask you:
00:30:15.33\00:30:19.09
which gate are
you going through?
00:30:19.40\00:30:21.60
Because over each gate is
one of the names of the tribes
00:30:24.84\00:30:28.05
of Israel. And you've
got to go through a gate...
00:30:28.26\00:30:30.71
you can't crawl over the wall.
00:30:30.91\00:30:32.51
So you've got to
go through a gate.
00:30:32.81\00:30:34.99
So which gate are
you going to go through?
00:30:35.29\00:30:37.48
Well the reason
it's that way, folks,
00:30:37.78\00:30:41.63
is because it has to do
with the children of Israel.
00:30:41.83\00:30:45.66
You see, each one
of the sons of Jacob
00:30:45.76\00:30:51.72
was different in character.
00:30:52.02\00:30:55.56
And in you find in
Genesis 49 that Jacob tells
00:30:55.76\00:31:01.03
the characteristics of his sons.
00:31:01.23\00:31:03.18
You find other places
in scripture where it tells
00:31:03.48\00:31:05.81
the characteristics of his sons.
00:31:06.01\00:31:07.79
And so according
to your personality,
00:31:08.09\00:31:12.75
according to your character,
00:31:12.95\00:31:15.28
you will go in through
that gate into the city
00:31:15.48\00:31:18.25
because all of us will fit into
one of those character patterns.
00:31:18.56\00:31:22.92
All of us are there, and
we will go into that city
00:31:23.22\00:31:26.28
through that particular gate.
00:31:26.48\00:31:28.66
The reason that's there is
because God has made provisions
00:31:29.93\00:31:35.90
for every one
of you to be saved.
00:31:36.20\00:31:39.77
See, there are no
characteristics that God
00:31:40.07\00:31:44.62
in His grace can't change.
00:31:44.72\00:31:47.68
He can change any of us.
00:31:47.98\00:31:50.97
144 cubits.
00:32:02.84\00:32:05.38
There's different people
that think different things
00:32:05.68\00:32:08.32
about this and it's not
really defined real clear here.
00:32:08.52\00:32:13.62
Whether when it says
the wall is 144 cubits
00:32:13.92\00:32:17.15
whether it's
saying it's that in height
00:32:17.35\00:32:19.79
or whether it's
saying it's that in width.
00:32:19.99\00:32:22.38
There are many people who
believe that refers to width
00:32:22.78\00:32:26.34
not to height.
00:32:26.64\00:32:28.35
Because if you
stop and think about it,
00:32:28.65\00:32:30.77
if the city is 375 miles high
00:32:30.97\00:32:35.00
and the wall to it, it
wouldn't be out of proportion
00:32:35.20\00:32:39.05
for it to be 144 cubits wide.
00:32:39.25\00:32:42.34
But anyhow, that has a
wall... a great wall...
00:32:42.64\00:32:46.43
all around the city.
00:32:46.63\00:32:48.44
You see, we... we do not
understand and we don't know
00:32:56.80\00:33:00.28
how you refine gold
until it becomes clear.
00:33:00.31\00:33:06.20
But evidently God does.
00:33:06.70\00:33:09.61
And the streets are pure
gold and the wall of pure gold
00:33:09.92\00:33:13.73
like unto clear
glass. It says like jasper,
00:33:13.93\00:33:16.58
and the closest thing
to jasper there is diamond.
00:33:16.88\00:33:19.79
So it says that the
city will be like diamond.
00:33:19.99\00:33:23.60
Now folks, you can't have a city
00:33:32.08\00:33:36.84
that is 375 miles long
00:33:37.05\00:33:42.00
on each side and
it has three gates
00:33:42.30\00:33:47.05
in that 375 miles
00:33:47.25\00:33:50.32
and walls that are
no telling how tall
00:33:50.62\00:33:55.79
and have little dinky gates.
00:33:55.99\00:33:59.23
I mean, they just...
that just does not fit.
00:33:59.53\00:34:02.68
Architecturally
it just doesn't fit.
00:34:02.88\00:34:04.73
Those gates are huge!
00:34:04.83\00:34:07.01
And think: here
these are huge, huge gates
00:34:07.21\00:34:10.76
and they're made
out of one pearl.
00:34:10.96\00:34:13.23
You see, it
staggers the imagination
00:34:14.64\00:34:18.72
to figure what God
has done for His people.
00:34:19.02\00:34:22.44
And they'll come and there they
will be... all of God's people
00:34:22.74\00:34:25.79
going through those
gates into the city.
00:34:25.99\00:34:29.96
Glorious city
that He's prepared.
00:34:30.26\00:34:32.94
You see, what you
and I today hold dear
00:34:43.97\00:34:49.93
and consider of monetary value
00:34:50.13\00:34:55.85
there has no value at all
00:34:56.15\00:34:59.94
because the
streets are pure gold.
00:35:00.67\00:35:05.21
The streets are as we consider
00:35:06.71\00:35:11.51
asbestos... asphalt.
00:35:11.81\00:35:14.82
The streets: pure gold.
00:35:15.12\00:35:19.10
This city had twelve foundations
and if you look at it
00:35:25.74\00:35:29.55
those are the stones that
we read to you in the reading.
00:35:29.75\00:35:34.75
And those stones if you line
them up as I have put them there
00:35:34.95\00:35:38.97
that's the colors of them
00:35:39.17\00:35:41.16
and they make up the
color of the rainbow.
00:35:41.46\00:35:45.11
That is the foundations
that's under the city.
00:35:45.41\00:35:49.61
The colors of the
rainbow... beautiful
00:35:49.91\00:35:53.91
as that city sits on
those twelve foundations.
00:35:54.21\00:35:58.13
OK.
00:35:58.43\00:36:00.14
And so we have these
different stones that made up
00:36:12.87\00:36:16.67
the foundation of the city.
00:36:16.87\00:36:19.70
Now that text does not say
00:36:29.64\00:36:31.79
that there is no sun
and there is no moon.
00:36:31.99\00:36:36.02
That doesn't say that.
00:36:36.32\00:36:38.91
It says that the sun
and the moon are not needed.
00:36:39.21\00:36:42.57
What it says.
00:36:42.87\00:36:45.12
They're not needed there. Why?
00:36:45.42\00:36:47.94
Because Christ is
there... God is there
00:36:49.25\00:36:51.64
and He is the light of the city.
00:36:51.94\00:36:54.41
I don't know how many of
you have ever been to Las Vegas?
00:36:55.96\00:36:59.32
Been to Las Vegas?
00:36:59.62\00:37:01.61
Well, if you
ever go to Las Vegas,
00:37:01.91\00:37:03.73
there's one particular
place down the strip there
00:37:03.93\00:37:07.69
that they have a light
that shines out of the top of it
00:37:07.89\00:37:12.29
and you can literally see it
00:37:12.49\00:37:14.75
for miles and
miles and miles away.
00:37:14.95\00:37:19.17
And that's what I
think about that city.
00:37:19.37\00:37:21.67
I mean, if God is
the light... just think
00:37:21.97\00:37:25.52
that then a light
will shine out of that city
00:37:25.72\00:37:28.06
that probably can be
seen from outer space
00:37:28.26\00:37:32.57
because God is the
light of that city.
00:37:33.93\00:37:37.41
Marvelous that He's
there! There'll be no need
00:37:37.61\00:37:41.02
of the sun or of the moon.
00:37:41.22\00:37:44.23
No, there won't
be any night there
00:37:52.04\00:37:54.39
because God is the light.
00:37:54.69\00:37:56.56
So you have this marvelous city
00:38:08.56\00:38:11.18
that He has prepared for
you and for me to live in.
00:38:11.89\00:38:17.70
That'll be a marvelous time.
00:38:18.00\00:38:20.64
The righteous will live in
that city for a thousand years
00:38:20.94\00:38:26.70
before they come to this earth.
At the end of the thousand years
00:38:28.06\00:38:32.73
that New Jerusalem
will come to this earth
00:38:33.03\00:38:36.26
and then the righteous
will be able to live in the city
00:38:36.57\00:38:41.53
or they'll have the
privilege if they want to
00:38:41.73\00:38:44.54
of living out on the earth.
00:38:44.74\00:38:47.59
And the earth has
been made brand new.
00:38:47.89\00:38:51.87
And it says that we'll
build houses and inhabit them.
00:38:52.17\00:38:57.35
Have you given
any thought to that?
00:38:57.85\00:38:59.47
Huh? Sure... you should be.
00:38:59.77\00:39:03.62
'Cause you're going to build it.
00:39:03.92\00:39:05.60
Christ built you one in the city
00:39:05.80\00:39:07.71
but you're going to build
the one out in the country.
00:39:07.91\00:39:09.72
Have you decided
what you're going to do?
00:39:11.06\00:39:13.22
I don't know about you, but I've
already started making plans.
00:39:14.46\00:39:17.43
You know, I'm
planning on being there.
00:39:17.68\00:39:21.72
Planning on going there.
00:39:22.02\00:39:24.08
One wall in my bedroom
00:39:25.86\00:39:31.79
is going to be made out of
solid diamond... whole wall.
00:39:32.10\00:39:35.77
Now you've got to understand:
resources is no problem, folks.
00:39:37.06\00:39:42.82
That's... that's not like here.
00:39:43.22\00:39:46.06
Resources are no problem,
00:39:46.36\00:39:48.42
so that wall is going
to be made out of diamond.
00:39:48.72\00:39:51.53
The wall on the other side
00:39:51.84\00:39:53.45
I'm going to have
made of living roses.
00:39:53.65\00:39:55.96
Just think how nice that will
smell and how nice it'll look
00:39:56.26\00:39:59.63
reflecting in that diamond wall.
00:39:59.83\00:40:01.70
Anything that you can
think or you can imagine
00:40:02.00\00:40:06.68
you can do.
00:40:06.88\00:40:09.69
And also... time
won't be a factor.
00:40:10.00\00:40:14.01
If you want to take a
thousand year to build it,
00:40:14.31\00:40:17.17
that's your privilege.
00:40:17.38\00:40:18.75
You're not out on the street.
00:40:19.02\00:40:20.46
You're not - you know -
hurting for a place to live.
00:40:20.67\00:40:23.75
That's not... you can
build it however you want to.
00:40:24.05\00:40:28.88
That will be your
home in the new earth.
00:40:29.18\00:40:33.88
Just when you build
it, build it well...
00:40:35.64\00:40:39.74
because it's there for eternity.
00:40:41.52\00:40:44.63
See? So build it
well when you build it.
00:40:44.93\00:40:48.15
God will have all
of these places for us
00:40:48.45\00:40:51.68
that will be there.
00:40:51.78\00:40:53.15
So out of God's
throne flows this river
00:41:00.97\00:41:04.73
as clear as crystal.
00:41:04.93\00:41:08.33
Just think of what the
water of life will taste like
00:41:08.63\00:41:14.31
when there'll be no pollution,
00:41:15.98\00:41:18.69
absolutely perfectly pure,
00:41:18.89\00:41:22.03
and you and I can drink from it.
00:41:22.33\00:41:25.05
So there in the New Jerusalem
00:41:38.84\00:41:42.38
is the Tree of Life.
00:41:42.68\00:41:45.66
It bears its fruit every month.
00:41:45.96\00:41:50.51
Have a friend that told me
00:41:52.35\00:41:54.16
that that meant
that it would bear
00:41:54.36\00:41:56.18
twelve different
varieties of mangoes.
00:41:56.38\00:41:58.86
But I don't know
that that's true.
00:41:59.93\00:42:02.21
But it bears its
fruit every month.
00:42:02.61\00:42:05.98
It also says that you
and I are going to come up
00:42:06.28\00:42:11.31
to the New Jerusalem to worship
00:42:11.41\00:42:15.35
every week on the Sabbath.
00:42:15.55\00:42:18.94
We're gonna come...
worshiping on the Sabbath.
00:42:20.33\00:42:23.50
But it also says that
we're going to also come
00:42:23.70\00:42:26.60
to the New Jerusalem
to worship every new moon.
00:42:26.80\00:42:31.10
That all the righteous
will come and worship God
00:42:32.33\00:42:35.97
on the new moon. How
often do you have a new moon?
00:42:36.17\00:42:38.88
Once a month. How often
does the tree bear its fruit?
00:42:40.11\00:42:42.43
Once a month.
00:42:42.63\00:42:44.00
So we're going to come
from all over the earth
00:42:44.03\00:42:46.08
and sit down and eat of the
Tree of Life and worship God.
00:42:46.28\00:42:51.56
That will be a wonderful time.
00:42:51.86\00:42:54.67
I anxiously wait for that day.
00:42:54.97\00:42:57.94
You know, I particularly
miss at this time of the year
00:42:58.24\00:43:01.27
for the next few
months... I really like peaches.
00:43:01.47\00:43:06.35
They're probably
my favorite fruit.
00:43:06.96\00:43:10.22
And of course when you
get out of the peach season
00:43:10.52\00:43:13.65
you get into
winter... you miss them.
00:43:13.85\00:43:15.96
And I will be so happy
to be able to get to heaven
00:43:16.17\00:43:22.12
and get hold of a nice
great big, ripe, juicy peach
00:43:22.32\00:43:27.73
and bite into it and
not have to worry about
00:43:28.04\00:43:30.50
the worm having beat me there.
00:43:30.70\00:43:32.15
You know, just...
All the wonderful things
00:43:32.45\00:43:36.21
that God has
prepared for you and for me.
00:43:36.41\00:43:40.90
We'll eat of the
Tree of Life there.
00:43:41.20\00:43:44.09
So they're going to
come and worship God
00:43:55.22\00:43:57.96
in the New Jerusalem.
00:43:58.17\00:43:59.58
Now follow me carefully, folks,
00:43:59.88\00:44:02.03
'cause this is something
I want you to get ahold of.
00:44:03.55\00:44:05.84
He said: "You shall be
a kingdom of priests. "
00:44:18.39\00:44:21.79
He gives you some very
definite wonderful promises.
00:44:22.09\00:44:26.23
God has called you and me
00:44:51.45\00:44:56.46
to be priests.
00:44:56.66\00:44:58.30
So God says that He
has taken and has made us
00:45:11.35\00:45:14.88
kings and priests to His God.
00:45:15.08\00:45:19.23
All right.
00:45:21.72\00:45:23.09
Just often wonder... think...
00:45:38.10\00:45:40.85
of what it will be to reach out
00:45:41.05\00:45:46.32
and take somebody's hand
and find it to be God's hand.
00:45:47.89\00:45:52.43
To look into the face of Jesus.
00:45:54.09\00:45:57.12
You know... that
song that we sing:
00:45:58.72\00:46:01.37
Face to face
with Christ my Savior;
00:46:01.67\00:46:04.51
face to face... what will it be?
00:46:04.81\00:46:07.89
When in rapture I behold Him...
00:46:08.09\00:46:11.11
Jesus Christ that died for me.
00:46:11.41\00:46:14.79
How marvelous
that He will be there.
00:46:15.09\00:46:18.20
He will be our God;
we shall be His people.
00:46:18.50\00:46:22.07
Now it says that
in the New Jerusalem
00:46:30.16\00:46:32.50
there is no temple
00:46:32.70\00:46:35.53
because He is
the temple thereof.
00:46:37.47\00:46:40.08
So there's no temple
in the New Jerusalem.
00:46:40.38\00:46:42.55
The real reason for
that I want you to look at.
00:46:42.75\00:46:45.11
You see, the sanctuary of
old was made after the pattern
00:46:46.35\00:46:52.31
of the one up in heaven.
00:46:52.51\00:46:55.56
Now watch. It says:
00:46:55.96\00:46:57.57
What have you got?
00:47:10.68\00:47:12.23
Got a cube. OK. All right.
00:47:12.53\00:47:15.21
So here you have
the Most Holy Place.
00:47:20.46\00:47:23.58
This is where
the throne of God is
00:47:23.78\00:47:25.92
and it is a cube.
00:47:26.12\00:47:28.36
Twenty wide,
twenty long, twenty high.
00:47:28.66\00:47:33.04
Exact cube.
00:47:33.34\00:47:35.54
So
00:47:35.84\00:47:38.34
the New Jerusalem is a cube.
00:47:38.64\00:47:44.59
Just the same as the
Holy of Holies was the place
00:47:51.57\00:47:55.12
where God dwelt
where His throne was
00:47:55.33\00:47:57.89
so the New Jerusalem
will be where God dwells
00:47:58.09\00:48:01.00
and will be where His throne is.
00:48:01.20\00:48:03.52
Therefore there is no
need of a temple there
00:48:03.83\00:48:08.12
because the New
Jerusalem is a temple.
00:48:08.32\00:48:11.27
That is where God dwells.
00:48:12.79\00:48:16.11
You see, God promised the
children of Israel something.
00:48:16.87\00:48:22.65
Unfortunately...
so unfortunately
00:48:23.84\00:48:26.43
they never got hold of it
00:48:26.63\00:48:29.63
and they never saw really
what God wanted them to do.
00:48:30.33\00:48:36.30
And they just didn't
follow through on it.
00:48:36.40\00:48:38.78
In Ezekiel 47, God gave Ezekiel
00:48:39.08\00:48:44.53
a vision of the temple
00:48:44.73\00:48:47.78
and outlined in detail how
it was to be built and all.
00:48:48.08\00:48:53.02
And I read that
story over so many times
00:48:53.26\00:48:56.15
and wondered why...
00:48:56.35\00:48:58.11
why here He describes it
in detail as to what it was
00:48:58.31\00:49:01.78
to be and they never built it.
00:49:01.98\00:49:03.99
It was never carried
through... never done.
00:49:04.29\00:49:08.01
And I said: "Why? "
00:49:08.41\00:49:10.41
It's because they
couldn't catch the vision
00:49:10.61\00:49:14.59
that God had in mind.
00:49:14.79\00:49:17.57
Because you see,
they were to be a kingdom
00:49:17.87\00:49:22.89
of priests and a
kingdom of kings.
00:49:23.19\00:49:28.05
And God had given to them
00:49:28.45\00:49:31.51
the privilege of taking
the message of God's love
00:49:31.72\00:49:37.19
and sacrifice for
them to the whole world.
00:49:37.39\00:49:42.21
And this city
that Ezekiel described
00:49:42.45\00:49:46.23
was to be the center.
00:49:46.44\00:49:47.91
And this is where all the
nations were to come in to
00:49:48.32\00:49:51.96
and all. So just the same as the
00:49:52.26\00:49:55.39
sanctuary on earth was a
00:49:56.80\00:50:01.29
type of what that
one in heaven was,
00:50:01.59\00:50:06.31
so the temple in Ezekiel
00:50:06.61\00:50:09.46
was a type of what
the New Jerusalem is.
00:50:09.66\00:50:12.88
So I want you to see and
notice the comparison here.
00:50:13.18\00:50:18.72
Both Ezekiel and John
00:50:19.02\00:50:23.95
are taken to a high mountain.
00:50:24.15\00:50:26.29
OK. They're both...
00:50:26.59\00:50:30.93
A heavenly being is
there to measure the temple.
00:50:31.69\00:50:37.59
Both cases, to
measure the temple.
00:50:37.79\00:50:39.60
Both of them have a
great and high wall.
00:50:39.90\00:50:43.57
Both of them - Ezekiel's
and the New Jerusalem -
00:50:43.87\00:50:46.67
have twelve gates with
the name of the twelve tribes
00:50:46.87\00:50:49.95
of the children of
Israel over the top of them.
00:50:50.15\00:50:51.75
Both cities are square.
00:50:52.05\00:50:55.29
In the city is
the throne of God.
00:50:55.39\00:50:59.36
The Holy of Holies is a cube.
00:51:01.87\00:51:04.10
The New Jerusalem is a cube.
00:51:04.31\00:51:06.20
The river flowing out
of the temple in Ezekiel;
00:51:06.50\00:51:10.66
the river flowing out of
the temple in Revelation.
00:51:10.86\00:51:12.98
Trees bear their
fruit each month in Ezekiel;
00:51:13.28\00:51:16.90
they do the same in Revelation.
00:51:17.10\00:51:19.07
The leaves are for
the healing in Ezekiel...
00:51:19.37\00:51:22.28
so they are in Revelation.
00:51:22.48\00:51:24.10
All those things
are exactly the same
00:51:24.41\00:51:27.22
because God intended
for them to take the gospel
00:51:27.52\00:51:32.89
to the whole world.
00:51:33.10\00:51:34.94
Unfortunately, that
city was never built.
00:51:35.25\00:51:38.66
But tonight you have
one to look forward to
00:51:39.87\00:51:43.37
that has been built.
00:51:43.57\00:51:45.13
They shall come and bring
the glory and the honor into it.
00:51:54.10\00:51:59.21
All the nations will
come to the New Jerusalem
00:51:59.35\00:52:03.56
to worship God.
00:52:03.76\00:52:05.30
So all these people
down through the ages
00:52:17.39\00:52:20.49
that have followed the
Lord and walked with Him:
00:52:20.70\00:52:22.58
this will make up God's
people. And they will come
00:52:22.78\00:52:27.45
and live in this city.
And they'll live in that city
00:52:27.65\00:52:33.24
throughout eternity.
00:52:33.44\00:52:35.98
And you will be
priests and kings unto God.
00:52:36.28\00:52:42.06
And that city - the
New Jerusalem... over it
00:52:42.36\00:52:46.72
will be a special name.
00:52:48.01\00:52:50.59
God will come and
dwell with His people
00:52:59.01\00:53:03.58
and He will be their God
00:53:03.88\00:53:06.31
and we shall be His people.
00:53:06.61\00:53:10.74
Let us pray.
00:53:11.04\00:53:12.43
Father, thank you...
00:53:12.73\00:53:15.65
thank you for
being so good to us.
00:53:15.85\00:53:19.29
For loving us.
00:53:20.22\00:53:21.65
For providing so many
wonderful and marvelous things
00:53:22.16\00:53:26.75
that we can enjoy
not just for a day or two
00:53:26.96\00:53:32.04
but down through the ages.
00:53:32.44\00:53:35.03
Lord, bless each one here.
00:53:35.33\00:53:37.57
May they... may
they have their name
00:53:38.93\00:53:41.94
inscribed in the Book of Life.
00:53:42.24\00:53:44.58
May they be among those
00:53:44.78\00:53:47.96
that will be able to
sing glory and praise to You
00:53:48.16\00:53:51.31
and to serve you. We
ask, Lord, that our lives
00:53:51.34\00:53:55.27
may be surrendered.
00:53:55.67\00:53:58.44
That we might
humbly stand before You
00:53:58.74\00:54:03.41
and have the
privilege of worshiping You
00:54:03.61\00:54:07.80
because of what
You've done for each of us.
00:54:08.10\00:54:11.06
For this we thank you
in Christ's name, Amen.
00:54:11.36\00:54:16.18
Well this brings us
down now to the last chapter:
00:54:18.90\00:54:24.68
the 22nd chapter of Revelation.
00:54:24.98\00:54:28.00
The Victory is Won.
00:54:28.30\00:54:30.46
God gives some
very clear admonition
00:54:30.76\00:54:34.04
in this chapter concerning
the book of Revelation.
00:54:34.24\00:54:36.76
You don't want to
miss it. God bless you.
00:54:37.07\00:54:39.11
In the heart of
southern Illinois
00:54:40.57\00:54:43.04
lies a small town
named after A. J. Nason
00:54:43.24\00:54:47.38
who came in 1923 with
plans for a dream city
00:54:47.58\00:54:51.52
and the largest coal
mine in the United States.
00:54:51.72\00:54:55.14
Surveyors laid out the
streets and the sidewalk
00:54:55.44\00:54:58.25
and workers built the tallest
smokestack in the country
00:54:58.45\00:55:02.09
complete with a Spanish turret
00:55:02.29\00:55:04.37
and decorative
cathedral doors at the top.
00:55:04.57\00:55:07.94
Railroad tracks were laid,
00:55:08.24\00:55:10.19
and as word of
this dream city spread
00:55:10.39\00:55:13.04
people flocked
in by the thousands.
00:55:13.24\00:55:15.84
But as the black coal
came out of those deep tunnels
00:55:16.14\00:55:19.48
miners came closer and
closer to the end of the dream.
00:55:19.68\00:55:24.62
And after just
three years of mining
00:55:24.92\00:55:27.16
an underground
river flooded the shaft.
00:55:27.36\00:55:30.56
Suddenly the
operations became very costly
00:55:30.86\00:55:34.37
and although Mr. Nason
poured millions into his mine
00:55:34.57\00:55:38.73
eventually it was
taken over by the bank.
00:55:38.93\00:55:42.04
People left the city in droves.
00:55:42.34\00:55:44.57
Some didn't even bother
to take their furniture.
00:55:44.87\00:55:47.34
Soon the tracks lay dormant.
00:55:47.64\00:55:49.88
Weeds grew up around
the beautiful train station,
00:55:50.08\00:55:52.68
and abandoned
homes gave way to trees.
00:55:52.88\00:55:56.43
Today locals say that Nason
is the only town in America
00:55:56.73\00:56:01.42
where you can hunt
quail from the sidewalk.
00:56:01.62\00:56:04.93
Although other coal
companies tried to revive it,
00:56:05.23\00:56:08.16
Nason's mine never
again turned a profit
00:56:08.36\00:56:12.56
and today only a few
hundred people are left.
00:56:12.76\00:56:16.15
Mr. Nason's
dream went up in smoke.
00:56:16.45\00:56:20.15
All that remains is
a beautiful smokestack,
00:56:20.45\00:56:23.68
an old train station,
00:56:23.98\00:56:26.24
and miles of deserted tracks.
00:56:26.54\00:56:29.15
The Bible says earthly
treasures are easily stolen
00:56:30.51\00:56:34.30
by thieves and
destroyed by moth and rust.
00:56:34.50\00:56:37.89
But our Heavenly Father
is building a dream city
00:56:38.19\00:56:40.96
with streets of gold and
mansions by a crystal sea.
00:56:41.16\00:56:45.14
He invites us to come
live with Him for eternity
00:56:45.44\00:56:48.55
and never grow old.
00:56:48.75\00:56:50.45
The Bible also says
that where our treasure is
00:56:50.75\00:56:53.55
there our heart will be also.
00:56:53.75\00:56:55.88
And in this day and age
when stocks lose their value
00:56:56.18\00:56:59.86
in minutes and
entire banking systems fail
00:56:59.96\00:57:03.56
God invites us to put
our treasures in things of
00:57:03.59\00:57:07.61
eternal value.
00:57:07.71\00:57:09.18
Friends, nothing is more
valuable than a human soul.
00:57:09.48\00:57:13.66
Won't you help us bring
the good news of salvation
00:57:13.96\00:57:16.95
to those who are lost?
00:57:17.15\00:57:19.17
Please, ask the Holy Spirit
what He would have you do.
00:57:19.47\00:57:24.29
Please consider what
you can do for those who
00:57:25.80\00:57:28.46
still don't know about Jesus.
00:57:28.66\00:57:30.41
As the Holy Spirit impresses,
00:57:30.61\00:57:32.23
please send your
tax-deductible gifts to:
00:57:32.43\00:57:34.54
Thank you for helping us
spread the light of God's Word
00:57:47.74\00:57:50.39
through television. Your
gifts bring the blessed hope
00:57:50.59\00:57:53.30
of salvation to
millions around the world.
