Welcome to the 3ABN
Spring Camp Meeting:
00:00:41.10\00:00:44.24
The Three Angels' Messages.
00:00:44.44\00:00:46.78
Welcome back to
3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:00:48.61\00:00:51.05
And those of you
here... I saw hands while ago
00:00:51.25\00:00:53.31
that says you've been here
since the beginning, right?
00:00:53.52\00:00:55.48
Since Wednesday
night. And we're getting down
00:00:55.88\00:00:58.25
to just two more sermons.
00:00:58.45\00:01:00.06
And I've been
spiritually blessed.
00:01:00.26\00:01:02.72
I haven't got to
hear every one of them
00:01:02.92\00:01:04.49
but we get to take
DVD's and we'll go home
00:01:04.69\00:01:07.00
later and watch
them. But I try to sit here
00:01:07.20\00:01:09.66
but then they say:
"Oh, oh, we need this done;
00:01:09.86\00:01:11.27
we need that done. "
But sometimes we can...
00:01:11.47\00:01:13.44
There's a little room in
the back that's got a monitor
00:01:13.64\00:01:15.44
and I just go in and
shut the door and listen.
00:01:15.64\00:01:17.57
So I've been
spiritually blessed.
00:01:17.77\00:01:21.58
There couldn't be a
more timely - I think -
00:01:21.78\00:01:25.21
a better time for us as
a people, as a movement,
00:01:25.41\00:01:29.62
to proclaim the
three angels' messages
00:01:30.02\00:01:32.72
to a lost and dying world.
00:01:32.92\00:01:34.26
And I'm just so thankful
for each and every one of you.
00:01:34.62\00:01:37.29
I want to thank you for
your love and your prayers
00:01:37.49\00:01:39.03
and financial support of 3ABN
00:01:39.23\00:01:41.66
so that we can continue to
take this gospel of the kingdom
00:01:41.86\00:01:46.77
into all the world. God
has opened up incredible doors.
00:01:46.97\00:01:49.90
We couldn't do it without you:
00:01:50.11\00:01:51.44
those of you here, those of you
from watching around the world.
00:01:51.47\00:01:54.28
It's not an easy task
00:01:54.64\00:01:55.98
but who said that
anything's supposed to be easy
00:01:56.18\00:01:58.18
on this earth, right?
00:01:58.38\00:01:59.71
But I'm privileged. If I could
do anything that I wanted to do,
00:01:59.75\00:02:02.58
be anywhere that I
wanted to be in the world,
00:02:02.78\00:02:05.15
I'd be right here doing
what I'm doing right now.
00:02:05.35\00:02:07.19
So I made a lot of mistakes and
a lot of things have happened
00:02:07.59\00:02:10.83
over the years, but 3ABN
has been a lifesaver for me.
00:02:10.99\00:02:14.93
I've been one of the
mending broken people
00:02:15.13\00:02:17.17
that they've helped,
and so I appreciate that.
00:02:17.37\00:02:21.10
Appreciate again
all of you and your love
00:02:21.30\00:02:23.51
and your prayers and for
sometimes bearing with us
00:02:23.71\00:02:26.44
when things don't go the
way maybe we think they should.
00:02:26.64\00:02:29.18
But you know
what? We're just human.
00:02:29.38\00:02:30.71
We're doing our
very best and somehow
00:02:30.75\00:02:33.21
that's what each and every
one of us... God just expects
00:02:33.42\00:02:36.38
us to do the best we can.
00:02:36.58\00:02:38.19
Commit our lives to Him
and then let Him do the rest.
00:02:38.39\00:02:41.16
Right? So anyway
it's with great privilege
00:02:41.36\00:02:44.29
today that I'm about
to introduce the speaker.
00:02:44.49\00:02:47.30
I could talk to you for
hours but I'm going to make it
00:02:47.50\00:02:49.20
real short so
he'll have more time.
00:02:49.40\00:02:51.33
This is my brother Kenny.
00:02:51.53\00:02:52.87
And... my older brother Kenny.
00:02:53.23\00:02:55.10
Don't comment... I
know he looks younger.
00:02:55.30\00:02:57.04
But Kenny has a gift
for preaching the message.
00:02:57.94\00:03:03.55
He's very bold.
There's nothing about him
00:03:03.85\00:03:06.11
that says: "Well, I don't know
if I should say this or that. "
00:03:06.31\00:03:08.82
If the Lord impresses him, he's
going to tell you the truth.
00:03:09.02\00:03:11.59
If you like it, OK.
If you don't, he says
00:03:11.79\00:03:13.62
"I'm just a
messenger... that's all.
00:03:13.82\00:03:15.76
I'm not here to win
a popularity contest. "
00:03:15.96\00:03:17.93
He says: "I'm just here
to... I'm not a politician.
00:03:18.13\00:03:20.20
I'm just here to give
the message that God has
00:03:20.40\00:03:22.90
called me to give. "
00:03:23.10\00:03:24.43
And Kenny, of course,
Behold the Lamb Ministry
00:03:24.47\00:03:26.43
for many many
years... his wife Chris.
00:03:26.63\00:03:28.50
And I'm so thankful
to have him here tonight
00:03:28.90\00:03:32.61
and to work... We started
this together almost 34...
00:03:32.81\00:03:35.44
this fall will be 34 years ago
00:03:35.64\00:03:37.41
since the Lord impressed us
to build a television station
00:03:37.61\00:03:40.02
to reach the world with an
undiluted three angels' messages
00:03:40.22\00:03:43.25
one that would
counteract the counterfeit.
00:03:43.45\00:03:45.62
But before Kenny
comes out to preach to you
00:03:45.82\00:03:48.82
I'm also honored to
invite my sister Tammy Chance...
00:03:49.32\00:03:53.16
And Tammy was in
the beginning, too,
00:03:53.56\00:03:56.13
with 3ABN. So we were all just
little kids then, weren't we?
00:03:56.33\00:04:00.54
Yes! Yeah, just about, she said.
00:04:00.74\00:04:02.50
I was in kindergarten. Don't...
00:04:03.74\00:04:06.34
I don't want to bring this up
but you're getting ready to sing
00:04:07.38\00:04:09.78
a very spiritual
song so let's don't...
00:04:09.98\00:04:12.25
Let's don't go too
far with it, but...
00:04:12.65\00:04:14.75
But let's just say we
were much younger then. Yes.
00:04:15.05\00:04:17.99
But appreciate Tammy
and what she's doing.
00:04:18.39\00:04:20.42
She's always had
a gift for music.
00:04:20.62\00:04:22.86
And so I appreciate
what you do and Bruce does
00:04:23.06\00:04:26.43
in the Donations Dept.
for 3ABN for so many years.
00:04:26.63\00:04:29.46
And praying for you
right now. Thank you.
00:04:29.96\00:04:32.87
All to Jesus
00:04:47.35\00:04:50.49
I surrender,
00:04:50.69\00:04:54.32
all to Him I freely give.
00:04:54.72\00:05:00.40
I will ever
00:05:00.60\00:05:03.70
love and trust Him...
00:05:03.90\00:05:07.24
in His presence daily live.
00:05:07.54\00:05:13.44
I surrender all;
00:05:13.98\00:05:19.71
I surrender all.
00:05:20.58\00:05:26.55
All to Thee,
00:05:27.29\00:05:29.92
my blessed Savior:
00:05:30.13\00:05:33.86
I surrender all.
00:05:34.06\00:05:39.63
All to Jesus
00:05:50.48\00:05:53.92
I surrender,
00:05:54.32\00:05:57.59
humbly at His feet I bow.
00:05:57.99\00:06:03.36
Worldly pleasures
00:06:03.89\00:06:07.56
all forsaken... take me Jesus,
00:06:07.96\00:06:13.80
take me now.
00:06:14.00\00:06:16.81
I surrender all;
00:06:17.01\00:06:22.94
I surrender all.
00:06:23.91\00:06:29.82
All to Thee,
00:06:30.49\00:06:33.25
my blessed Savior:
00:06:33.46\00:06:37.16
I surrender all.
00:06:37.36\00:06:42.86
How many surrender all today?
00:06:47.87\00:06:50.04
All to Jesus
00:06:53.81\00:06:57.11
I surrender,
00:06:57.31\00:07:01.02
make me, Savior, wholly Thine.
00:07:01.32\00:07:06.82
May Thy Holy Spirit
00:07:07.76\00:07:12.29
fill me,
00:07:12.49\00:07:14.03
may I know Thy power divine.
00:07:14.53\00:07:20.14
I surrender all;
00:07:20.90\00:07:26.57
I surrender all.
00:07:27.24\00:07:33.18
All to Thee,
00:07:33.92\00:07:36.52
my blessed Savior:
00:07:36.72\00:07:40.59
I surrender all.
00:07:40.79\00:07:45.93
All to Thee,
00:07:47.20\00:07:49.86
my blessed Savior:
00:07:50.07\00:07:53.90
I surrender all...
00:07:54.10\00:08:00.08
I
00:08:00.28\00:08:03.35
surrender
00:08:03.55\00:08:07.15
all...
00:08:07.45\00:08:13.39
I surrender
00:08:14.16\00:08:18.29
all.
00:08:18.83\00:08:24.57
Thank you sister
Tammy. Thank you!
00:08:26.94\00:08:30.27
You know we love you. Thank you.
00:08:30.47\00:08:32.54
Awesome! Wow! What a
journey we have been on!
00:08:32.74\00:08:37.48
Amen. Amen?
00:08:37.68\00:08:39.01
And we're still
not finished yet.
00:08:39.58\00:08:41.65
No. Isn't that beautiful?
00:08:41.85\00:08:43.39
You know, Pastor
Bohr said earlier that
00:08:43.59\00:08:45.69
his wife often told him
00:08:45.89\00:08:47.72
that he repeats
himself too much.
00:08:47.92\00:08:49.69
Any of you hear that?
00:08:49.89\00:08:51.23
I think I might have
said that a couple of times.
00:08:51.39\00:08:53.56
But you know, even going
through these 3 angels' messages
00:08:55.06\00:08:58.97
this weekend I realize
how much I need to hear it
00:08:59.17\00:09:03.00
over and over again - yes,
Amen! because so much we forget.
00:09:03.20\00:09:07.64
Yes. And last
night during the singing!
00:09:07.84\00:09:10.41
Was that not an
atmosphere of heaven?
00:09:10.91\00:09:14.22
Mercy. Oh... miracles
have been taking place.
00:09:14.42\00:09:17.85
So many people
took a stand for Jesus
00:09:18.05\00:09:20.29
and I'm looking for... We
finished the 3 angels' messages.
00:09:20.49\00:09:23.26
It was all wrapped up.
Yes! Now we're going past the
00:09:23.46\00:09:27.03
millennium - um-hmm -
and we're going to look at
00:09:27.23\00:09:29.93
the second resurrection -
Yes - and hell fire together.
00:09:30.13\00:09:33.74
Oh, pray kids. I said:
"There's got to be some love
00:09:33.94\00:09:38.41
in there somewhere,
right? " Gotta be some love.
00:09:38.61\00:09:40.34
That's right.
00:09:40.74\00:09:42.08
You know, but before
we have opening prayer
00:09:42.14\00:09:44.25
so many years people have said:
00:09:44.45\00:09:46.82
"What about your children? "
00:09:47.02\00:09:48.35
"How many
children do you have? "
00:09:48.38\00:09:49.72
And so on and so forth.
It was kind of neat because
00:09:50.12\00:09:52.22
our oldest daughter was
here and when I came out
00:09:52.42\00:09:54.76
somebody had already
recognized her by her pictures.
00:09:54.96\00:09:57.73
But we are so thankful - yeah -
00:09:58.13\00:10:00.20
I think, I can't tell...
I think everybody's here.
00:10:00.40\00:10:03.77
Everybody's here. All
of our children are here.
00:10:03.97\00:10:06.80
Would you please stand up?
Most of our grandchildren...
00:10:07.00\00:10:10.01
Come on now...
let's go... everybody up.
00:10:10.21\00:10:13.01
There we go.
00:10:13.21\00:10:14.58
I know I'm a little prejudiced
but that's gotta be the most
00:10:16.04\00:10:19.18
beautiful kids in the world...
00:10:19.38\00:10:21.18
and grandchildren.
00:10:22.68\00:10:24.42
We love them so
much. That's right.
00:10:24.62\00:10:26.32
In fact, not to put anyone
else out, but I pray for them
00:10:26.52\00:10:29.56
more than anybody.
Yes. We love them. Amen.
00:10:29.76\00:10:32.39
And I know God's
answered many prayers for them
00:10:32.59\00:10:34.76
for protection and guidance
00:10:34.96\00:10:36.50
and they've just
been a real blessing.
00:10:36.70\00:10:38.70
We've got one
grandchild missing, right?
00:10:38.90\00:10:40.50
Two. I don't see Hanna.
00:10:40.70\00:10:42.87
Hanna is missing
'cause he's probably working.
00:10:43.07\00:10:45.47
And Brandon.
Brandon's in the service
00:10:45.67\00:10:47.51
in the Navy. So other than
that we have them all here.
00:10:47.71\00:10:49.81
Amen! Four children
and seven grandchildren.
00:10:50.01\00:10:52.31
So we wanted to bring
that because people ask.
00:10:52.51\00:10:54.68
And we're glad they're
here. It's a blessing to us.
00:10:55.08\00:10:57.42
Thank you. Well
we're going to kneel
00:10:57.62\00:10:59.62
and if you want
you can kneel with us.
00:10:59.82\00:11:01.29
But we're going to ask the Lord
to continue to be with us, OK?
00:11:01.49\00:11:04.96
Most gracious heavenly
Father, we thank you...
00:11:06.29\00:11:09.36
we thank you for
repeating these messages
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.53
over and over and over again
00:11:12.73\00:11:14.84
so that they will be written
on our hearts and on our minds.
00:11:15.34\00:11:18.77
Father, You promised
never to leave us or forsake us.
00:11:18.97\00:11:22.11
So God, we ask one more time
that You take this manservant
00:11:22.51\00:11:26.45
of Yours. That You fill
him up with Your Spirit.
00:11:26.65\00:11:29.78
That what we see, what
we hear, what we experience
00:11:29.98\00:11:33.36
this next hour will
be from heaven - Amen -
00:11:33.56\00:11:37.03
from God, from the
Holy Spirit Yourself.
00:11:37.23\00:11:40.03
We give You all the
praise, all the glory,
00:11:40.23\00:11:42.13
all the honor here tonight.
00:11:42.33\00:11:43.67
In Jesus' lovely and
precious name, Amen. Amen.
00:11:43.70\00:11:47.67
Thank you, honey.
00:11:48.40\00:11:50.11
See you in a little bit.
00:11:50.31\00:11:52.24
It's been a good
Sabbath, hasn't it?
00:11:53.81\00:11:55.44
Amen! Oh, it's been wonderful.
Camp Meeting's been great.
00:11:55.64\00:11:58.18
We praise the Lord for it.
00:11:58.38\00:11:59.71
And to be able to
spend just a few moments...
00:11:59.75\00:12:01.55
time flies really fast, you
know, when you're having fun.
00:12:01.75\00:12:04.19
And we are having fun.
00:12:04.39\00:12:05.79
So we are enjoying it,
especially when we have all...
00:12:05.99\00:12:07.86
We kind of feel
like this is our family
00:12:08.06\00:12:09.89
and we certainly
want to spend eternity
00:12:10.09\00:12:11.76
with each and every one.
00:12:11.96\00:12:13.29
So if you don't mind do some-
thing a little bit different
00:12:13.33\00:12:15.70
as I start out here for you.
00:12:15.90\00:12:17.23
So, you know,
don't pay any attention.
00:12:17.33\00:12:19.10
I brought my phone out here.
00:12:19.30\00:12:21.44
Uh-huh.
00:12:22.50\00:12:24.44
Like I see most of
you doin' all the time.
00:12:24.84\00:12:26.81
I don't think I
ever have taken a selfie.
00:12:32.11\00:12:36.52
Now let's see. My wife said push
00:12:40.69\00:12:43.93
this button twice.
00:12:44.33\00:12:46.16
Well... I got the time.
00:12:49.50\00:12:51.00
I'll push it twice more.
00:12:53.64\00:12:55.40
I still have the time.
It's good; it's a minute later
00:12:58.04\00:13:00.58
than it was but it's all good.
00:13:00.78\00:13:02.58
So you... And I thought
"Well, if I take a selfie... "
00:13:02.78\00:13:05.11
I've never done that,
'cause I don't like, you know,
00:13:05.31\00:13:07.52
so much lookin' at
myself but why not just put
00:13:07.72\00:13:10.89
this baby up right and
just look at it and just...
00:13:11.05\00:13:14.46
well I want to make
sure my background's right.
00:13:14.86\00:13:17.69
Huh! Well here goes something.
00:13:25.73\00:13:29.70
Hmm... I wonder how
that's going to turn out.
00:13:31.27\00:13:35.64
Well it probably only
took what was before it, huh?
00:13:37.15\00:13:40.95
You think about
that for just a moment.
00:13:43.08\00:13:44.85
There's a reason for
that. I've never taken a self...
00:13:45.05\00:13:47.16
I really don't
plan on takin' any more
00:13:47.36\00:13:48.92
'cause you know what? Remember
it only takes what's there
00:13:51.79\00:13:54.13
whether it be good or bad.
00:13:54.33\00:13:55.66
Revelation chapter 20
verse 15 the Bible says...
00:13:56.73\00:13:59.97
We're going to talk
about the second resurrection
00:14:00.17\00:14:01.87
quickly as we can.
Once we start we'll move
00:14:02.07\00:14:03.71
very quickly so you might
want to jot some things down.
00:14:03.91\00:14:06.54
It's very important that
we cover all of the material
00:14:06.74\00:14:08.18
we can. I'll
stick as close as I can
00:14:08.38\00:14:10.15
to this, but every once in a
while I might get a little bit
00:14:10.35\00:14:12.01
sidetracked. You just call
me back if you will, please.
00:14:12.21\00:14:14.68
Revelation chapter 20.
We're going to be talking about
00:14:14.88\00:14:17.12
the second
resurrection and hell fire.
00:14:17.32\00:14:19.72
You know, what a
subject to talk about
00:14:19.92\00:14:21.42
but it's a reality, isn't it?
00:14:21.62\00:14:23.22
It's something that
we might have to face.
00:14:23.89\00:14:26.49
We don't want to face
the second resurrection.
00:14:26.70\00:14:28.80
We want to face the
first resurrection, don't we?
00:14:29.00\00:14:31.60
We want to make it to
heaven. We don't want to burn
00:14:31.80\00:14:33.40
in hell fire,
let's be honest. Amen!
00:14:33.60\00:14:36.10
The Bible says this.
Notice Revelation 20:15.
00:14:36.30\00:14:39.14
The Bible says: "And
whosoever was not found
00:14:39.34\00:14:41.88
written... " Where? Ooh,
"written in the Book of Life
00:14:42.08\00:14:45.21
was cast into
the lake of fire. "
00:14:45.41\00:14:47.18
So whosoever was not what?
00:14:47.58\00:14:49.58
If your name is not written
in the Lamb's Book of Life,
00:14:49.78\00:14:52.09
they were cast
into the lake of fire.
00:14:52.29\00:14:55.29
I found this quickly
in studying for this.
00:14:55.49\00:14:57.59
As I was looking at it
again the Lord impressed me.
00:14:57.79\00:15:00.46
Said: "You've done your home-
work. What you need is more
00:15:00.66\00:15:02.60
Holy Spirit power. "
00:15:02.80\00:15:04.13
So we prayed for Holy
Spirit power to get this message
00:15:04.20\00:15:06.33
across. And one of
the things that was
00:15:06.53\00:15:08.14
brought to my mind I thought
was very very interesting
00:15:08.34\00:15:10.17
is that in this it
sounds like a tough subject,
00:15:10.57\00:15:13.54
and it is, but I
found that God is love.
00:15:13.74\00:15:15.84
Amen! I found
that God loves you;
00:15:16.04\00:15:18.61
He loves me
enough in this message
00:15:18.81\00:15:20.82
that He's going to give you
and me exactly what we want.
00:15:20.98\00:15:24.59
He'll give you - oh!
the desires of your heart.
00:15:24.79\00:15:27.22
If we want heaven,
heaven can be our home.
00:15:27.89\00:15:29.62
If we don't want it,
it's not going to be our home.
00:15:29.82\00:15:31.79
But nevertheless, I
look at this: God is love.
00:15:32.19\00:15:35.23
He cares for us; He loves us.
00:15:35.43\00:15:37.63
And I say this as I took
the little selfie as it were.
00:15:37.83\00:15:41.40
In the books of heaven
there's books that are taken.
00:15:42.00\00:15:45.57
There's notes that are
written, as it were, every day
00:15:45.77\00:15:48.11
of our life...
accurately recorded.
00:15:48.31\00:15:52.01
No mistakes...
every day of our life.
00:15:52.21\00:15:53.98
Every deed, every
word, every action...
00:15:54.18\00:15:56.38
which I'm
ashamed of some things.
00:15:56.58\00:15:58.45
Well now, I guess I'm the
only one... the rest of you
00:15:59.55\00:16:01.16
are lookin' good.
00:16:01.36\00:16:02.89
Everybody up here... If
we're gonna reveal your life
00:16:05.23\00:16:07.76
up here on the screen, you'd
get up and you'd hit the door,
00:16:07.96\00:16:09.86
wouldn't you? Yeah, I hear you.
00:16:10.07\00:16:12.50
Thank God, right? for
the blood of the Lamb.
00:16:12.90\00:16:14.40
Isn't that right?
Ooh, that's right!
00:16:14.60\00:16:16.00
But our life is
recorded. Notice that.
00:16:16.30\00:16:18.64
Every truth that we've
heard, every call of mercy
00:16:18.84\00:16:22.64
that God has
called us into His fold
00:16:22.84\00:16:25.35
and we have rejected
that or we've accepted
00:16:25.55\00:16:28.08
is still written in
the Lamb's Book of Life.
00:16:28.28\00:16:30.15
Every time we put
off a call of the Spirit
00:16:31.02\00:16:34.16
it's registered in the books.
00:16:34.36\00:16:37.33
No mistakes made...
all is going to be recorded
00:16:37.53\00:16:40.63
whether it be good or bad.
00:16:40.83\00:16:42.60
This is the only way: an
accurate record of your life.
00:16:43.00\00:16:45.83
And as I took this selfie -
00:16:46.03\00:16:48.87
which I really don't like
to see people taking selfies.
00:16:49.27\00:16:51.57
I'll just be honest about it.
You'll love me or you'll hate me
00:16:51.77\00:16:53.64
it's up to you.
Selfies a lot of times
00:16:53.84\00:16:56.28
says what it says: it's
all about self, isn't it?
00:16:56.48\00:16:59.38
Uh-huh!
00:16:59.58\00:17:00.98
You can do that if you
want to... I just don't.
00:17:01.38\00:17:03.49
But as I took this
selfie I did it for a reason.
00:17:04.95\00:17:07.59
It took exactly what
was before the camera.
00:17:08.66\00:17:11.86
So my face,
whether it be good or bad,
00:17:12.26\00:17:14.66
right? The picture was taken.
00:17:15.06\00:17:17.53
Just exactly the way day
by day that God registers
00:17:18.97\00:17:23.27
in the books of heaven
an exact representation
00:17:23.47\00:17:27.41
of our character as
the camera took an exact
00:17:27.61\00:17:31.15
right? representation of my face
00:17:31.35\00:17:33.78
whether it be good or bad
00:17:34.28\00:17:36.25
so that we can understand a
little bit better about that.
00:17:36.45\00:17:39.52
And remember: there's
no mistakes that are made.
00:17:39.72\00:17:42.56
And I'll just add this. If you
don't mind, I'll throw this in:
00:17:43.43\00:17:45.79
we are accountable
for what we have done.
00:17:46.09\00:17:49.33
We understand that. But
we also are accountable for
00:17:49.53\00:17:52.17
those things that
we could have done.
00:17:52.37\00:17:54.77
What we could have done. "I
could have but I didn't do it. "
00:17:54.97\00:17:57.84
We're
accountable for those things.
00:17:58.04\00:18:01.04
Dear friend, the
accountability is great.
00:18:01.24\00:18:03.55
The second resurrection...
Some of the saddest words
00:18:03.75\00:18:06.15
I've ever read in the Bible
00:18:06.35\00:18:07.78
is found in the book of
Jeremiah chapter 8 verse 20.
00:18:07.98\00:18:11.15
I'll just read them
quickly. The Bible says...
00:18:11.35\00:18:13.32
You know, I love to say
"the Bible says" because
00:18:13.52\00:18:15.42
it doesn't
matter what Kenny says.
00:18:15.62\00:18:17.23
Does it? May I say this: "It
doesn't matter what you say. "
00:18:17.63\00:18:20.30
You know what I'm talking about.
When you're looking for truth
00:18:23.77\00:18:26.03
and want to follow the
Word. It's what God's Word says
00:18:26.23\00:18:28.44
is truth. The Bible
says there in Jeremiah 8:20
00:18:28.64\00:18:32.44
it says: "The harvest is
past, the summer is ended
00:18:32.64\00:18:37.48
and we are not saved.
" Did you notice that?
00:18:37.68\00:18:40.02
What sadder
words could you read?
00:18:40.42\00:18:42.25
It's over with. There'll
come a time that it's over with
00:18:42.45\00:18:44.65
that you can
never come to Christ.
00:18:44.85\00:18:46.65
Probation will close!
00:18:46.86\00:18:48.36
No one else will ever
come to Him, and yet day by day
00:18:48.56\00:18:51.03
we put off doing
what we know we should do.
00:18:51.23\00:18:53.60
God have mercy on us.
00:18:53.80\00:18:55.40
In order to understand a little
better the second resurrection
00:18:56.20\00:18:59.53
I think - at least in
my mind - it's important
00:18:59.73\00:19:01.84
to learn a little
bit more about the events
00:19:02.04\00:19:04.34
before you see the
second resurrection.
00:19:04.54\00:19:07.78
A little bit more
about the millennium
00:19:07.98\00:19:10.85
which many people have confused.
The 1,000 year period of time
00:19:11.01\00:19:16.22
is a doctrine which is
only found in book of Revelation
00:19:16.42\00:19:19.42
chapters 19 and
20. It covers it well.
00:19:19.62\00:19:23.89
It's something that we need
to know because some people say:
00:19:24.09\00:19:26.96
"A thousand years?
Oh good, well you know,
00:19:27.16\00:19:28.86
Jesus is going to come. We're
going to have a thousand years
00:19:29.06\00:19:30.80
of peace and prosperity.
Things are going to go well. "
00:19:31.00\00:19:33.34
You're fooling yourself.
00:19:33.54\00:19:34.97
This is the hour of
probation for you and for me.
00:19:35.17\00:19:38.97
But we need to put it in
the order that it needs to be
00:19:39.37\00:19:41.61
in God's Word.
Notice the Bible says
00:19:41.81\00:19:44.48
there's a resurrection
for the just and for the what?
00:19:44.68\00:19:47.72
The unjust, so we
know that there's two.
00:19:47.92\00:19:51.05
That's what the Bible says
so we have to believe that.
00:19:51.25\00:19:53.79
But notice the
resurrection of the righteous
00:19:53.99\00:19:56.56
and the resurrection of
the wicked. In between the two
00:19:56.76\00:20:00.10
is a thousand year period.
00:20:00.30\00:20:02.56
How do I know that?
Because the Bible says so.
00:20:02.76\00:20:05.03
And we've got people who think
they know more than what God
00:20:05.43\00:20:07.94
knows and they start trying to
tell us what all of that means.
00:20:08.14\00:20:10.44
There's a resurrection of what?
The righteous and of the wicked.
00:20:10.64\00:20:13.74
In between that is a
thousand-year period.
00:20:13.94\00:20:16.14
We'll explain that as we
go and look at scriptures.
00:20:16.34\00:20:19.01
I think they back that up.
00:20:19.21\00:20:20.68
And we know in the New Testament
John chapter 5 verses 28-29
00:20:20.88\00:20:25.52
is the ones I'm
sure you always look up.
00:20:25.72\00:20:28.06
Jesus is speaking here.
00:20:29.12\00:20:30.56
I can count on
that, how about you?
00:20:30.76\00:20:32.76
Jesus is speaking;
I can count on that.
00:20:32.96\00:20:34.70
Jesus says in verse
28: "Marvel not... "
00:20:34.90\00:20:37.37
He starts out. "Marvel not
00:20:37.57\00:20:39.53
at this for the hour is coming
that all that are in the... "
00:20:39.73\00:20:42.97
What? "ALL that
are in the grave...
00:20:43.17\00:20:45.77
all that are in the
grave shall... " What?
00:20:45.97\00:20:47.94
"shall hear His voice.
" There's a time coming
00:20:48.14\00:20:50.75
when I'm dead... I'm just going
to die. I'm going to be dead.
00:20:50.95\00:20:52.75
One day you're going to come up.
00:20:52.95\00:20:54.28
You're going to come up
in the first resurrection
00:20:54.38\00:20:56.08
or you're going to come up
in the second resurrection.
00:20:56.28\00:20:58.19
God have mercy on us. We don't
want to come up in the second,
00:20:58.39\00:21:01.22
do we? At all in the second?
00:21:01.42\00:21:03.12
That's why we're
looking at this subject
00:21:03.63\00:21:05.73
to say: "Oh God,
have mercy on us! "
00:21:05.93\00:21:07.63
Jesus said He's called there
in verse 29 of John chapter 5
00:21:08.23\00:21:12.87
and - I love this -
"they shall come forth, notice:
00:21:13.07\00:21:16.71
they that have done
good unto the... " What?
00:21:16.91\00:21:19.54
"the resurrection of life
and they that have done evil
00:21:19.74\00:21:23.31
to... " What? "the
resurrection of... " What?
00:21:23.51\00:21:25.81
"of damnation" is
what the Bible says.
00:21:26.01\00:21:27.95
So we realize you're going
to be in one class or the other.
00:21:28.35\00:21:31.39
I always say whether you
like it or whether you don't
00:21:31.79\00:21:33.89
it's one or the other.
00:21:34.39\00:21:36.02
Interesting. What was
Jesus saying here quickly?
00:21:36.79\00:21:38.53
What was He saying in verse 28?
00:21:38.73\00:21:40.06
Jesus was referring here
to the general resurrection.
00:21:40.23\00:21:44.33
He said
everybody's going to come up.
00:21:44.53\00:21:47.14
Interesting. But He
said they're going to happen
00:21:47.34\00:21:49.60
at the end of the world.
00:21:49.80\00:21:51.41
Resurrection when takes place?
00:21:51.81\00:21:53.48
It says: "At the
end of the world. "
00:21:53.68\00:21:55.98
And notice this. He
wanted to make this very clear
00:21:56.18\00:21:58.65
but yet some
people misunderstood.
00:21:58.85\00:22:00.65
You remember the
Sadducees? What did they say?
00:22:00.85\00:22:02.92
Sadducees said there
would be no resurrection.
00:22:03.12\00:22:06.89
Huh! Pharisees came
along and what did they say?
00:22:07.09\00:22:09.52
"Hah! Oh yeah... oh,
there's going to be one. "
00:22:09.72\00:22:12.26
Then you had the other group
over here that said something
00:22:12.46\00:22:14.46
different. "Well, it's
only going to be a resurrection
00:22:14.66\00:22:16.83
of the righteous. "
Another group said...
00:22:17.03\00:22:19.53
See, there were
things going on all the time
00:22:19.73\00:22:21.40
in the church. They
couldn't get it together.
00:22:21.60\00:22:23.67
Even though
Jesus had it together
00:22:23.87\00:22:25.21
they couldn't get it together.
00:22:25.37\00:22:26.71
And you know what? It's no
different today. That's right!
00:22:26.74\00:22:29.04
It's no different today.
We've got people sitting in the
00:22:29.24\00:22:30.81
church reading the same Bible,
00:22:31.01\00:22:32.35
reading the same verses, right?
00:22:32.38\00:22:33.72
and they come up with
something totally different.
00:22:33.75\00:22:35.28
We need to do "line upon
line, precept upon precept"
00:22:36.18\00:22:38.55
like we're doing.
That's how you learn that what?
00:22:38.75\00:22:41.09
What is truth!
00:22:41.29\00:22:43.73
And so there was a group
that said: "Oh, it's going to be
00:22:43.93\00:22:45.46
the righteous and it's
going to be the wicked. "
00:22:45.66\00:22:47.50
Jesus makes it clear. He said
there'll be two resurrections.
00:22:47.70\00:22:50.37
One of what? Life.
The other of damnation
00:22:51.40\00:22:54.10
or judgment or
condemnation of the wicked.
00:22:54.30\00:22:58.41
It can be seen in this study...
we had more time to point it out
00:22:58.91\00:23:01.94
here that God is going
to - be careful with this -
00:23:02.14\00:23:05.48
reward those who are
obedient to His commandments.
00:23:05.68\00:23:09.45
He's going to reward
those who are obedient.
00:23:09.85\00:23:12.92
He will never reward
those who are disobedient.
00:23:13.12\00:23:16.22
Does that make sense?
00:23:16.42\00:23:17.76
You know, disobedient child...
you kind of give him a little
00:23:17.89\00:23:20.23
of this once in a
while, maybe a little of that.
00:23:20.43\00:23:22.16
And he's going to catch what's
going on, isn't that right?
00:23:22.36\00:23:24.63
Sometimes God has to chastise
us and give us a little spanking
00:23:25.13\00:23:28.80
to get us corrected. Does
that makes sense to us today?
00:23:29.00\00:23:31.47
Yes it does. Thank you.
00:23:31.67\00:23:33.58
But also with the reward
00:23:33.98\00:23:35.51
we find that God's
going to do something.
00:23:35.71\00:23:37.61
Those who transgress His
law we have to understand
00:23:37.81\00:23:40.85
are going to receive
according to their works.
00:23:41.05\00:23:44.69
Revelation chapter 20...
I can't go over all of them,
00:23:45.19\00:23:47.19
can't read them all right now.
00:23:47.39\00:23:48.72
Revelation chapter
20 verses 12 and 13.
00:23:48.86\00:23:51.46
Oh, I just wish
I could read them.
00:23:51.96\00:23:53.70
But what does it say bottom
line? It says He's going to
00:23:53.90\00:23:56.43
reward them according
to their what? Their works.
00:23:56.63\00:24:00.50
If you look at
II Corinthians 11:15
00:24:00.70\00:24:03.41
He says He's going to reward
them according to their works.
00:24:03.61\00:24:06.47
In Romans chapter 2 verse 6
00:24:06.68\00:24:09.48
He says He's going to reward
us according to our deeds.
00:24:09.68\00:24:13.45
Revelation 22:12 again
according to our works.
00:24:14.35\00:24:17.39
So we see this is how
we're going to be rewarded.
00:24:17.59\00:24:20.36
How're your works?
Now what does that mean?
00:24:20.56\00:24:23.09
"Oh, I'm going to try to
work my way into heaven. "
00:24:23.29\00:24:24.63
You can't work
your way into heaven.
00:24:24.83\00:24:26.16
You can't just be obedient and
say: "Oh, I'm going to make it
00:24:26.33\00:24:27.80
into heaven. " "I'm going
to keep God's commandments
00:24:28.00\00:24:29.66
I'm going to
make it to heaven. "
00:24:29.86\00:24:31.20
"I'm going to
church on the seventh day
00:24:31.23\00:24:32.57
I'm going to make it to
heaven. " Don't fool yourself.
00:24:32.60\00:24:34.34
We've learned in this Camp
Meetings it's our relationship
00:24:34.97\00:24:37.47
with whom? With Jesus Christ
that makes the difference.
00:24:37.67\00:24:40.58
And when we have
that relationship
00:24:40.78\00:24:42.21
we will want to be obedient.
00:24:42.41\00:24:44.48
Amen! We will want to obey God.
00:24:44.68\00:24:46.85
Interesting. When you say
deeds or you say those things
00:24:47.98\00:24:52.09
done it's simply in the Greek
00:24:52.29\00:24:55.26
if you look at it
it says simply an act.
00:24:55.46\00:24:57.63
It's simply a deed; it's
something that you're doing.
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.60
It's something
to do about labor.
00:25:00.80\00:25:02.46
It's an effort! According to
our efforts we will be rewarded.
00:25:02.66\00:25:07.10
According to our
deeds we will be rewarded.
00:25:07.30\00:25:09.37
Over 6,000 years this great
controversy's been going on,
00:25:09.57\00:25:12.94
has it not? Heaven
has been pleading with us.
00:25:13.14\00:25:16.38
Heaven pleads I think right
now at this day and this time
00:25:16.58\00:25:19.61
as never before
because time is running out.
00:25:19.81\00:25:22.05
For those of you that
say: "Well my daddy said,
00:25:22.45\00:25:24.69
my grandpa said
'He's coming in my day. ' "
00:25:24.89\00:25:28.52
Get over that stuff.
00:25:28.72\00:25:30.06
Is it all right?
Get over that stuff!
00:25:30.46\00:25:32.29
Let's not worry about that.
00:25:32.49\00:25:33.83
We're one day closer right
now to the coming of Jesus.
00:25:33.86\00:25:36.06
Amen! The time
will come the Bible says
00:25:36.26\00:25:38.17
the door of probation closes.
Not another person will ever
00:25:38.37\00:25:40.70
come in again.
That makes you concerned
00:25:40.90\00:25:42.77
about your loved ones,
does it not? It should.
00:25:42.97\00:25:45.54
Jeremiah talks about that.
00:25:46.47\00:25:48.24
Because all will
come... there's a day coming
00:25:48.44\00:25:50.58
when every person -
God knows this - will
00:25:50.78\00:25:53.01
have made a decision
either for or against.
00:25:53.21\00:25:55.75
They could live 20,000 years and
they wouldn't change their mind.
00:25:55.95\00:25:58.45
God knows this, you understand.
00:25:58.65\00:25:59.99
They'd never change their mind.
00:26:00.02\00:26:01.46
It's come to that
and God calls a halt.
00:26:01.66\00:26:04.36
Why wouldn't He want to
call a halt to this mess
00:26:04.56\00:26:06.66
that's going on in
this world that we live in?
00:26:06.86\00:26:08.80
Heard a man on the radio say
00:26:09.10\00:26:10.77
"We're living in
interesting times. "
00:26:10.97\00:26:13.13
You'd better believe we're
living in interesting times.
00:26:13.54\00:26:15.70
You'd better believe it.
It's much more than he knows.
00:26:16.20\00:26:18.51
He's talking about
the politics of the world.
00:26:18.91\00:26:20.94
We're talking about
the spiritual aspects here,
00:26:21.14\00:26:23.51
praise God. Jeremiah chapter 25.
00:26:23.71\00:26:26.11
The Bible says, verse 31...
00:26:26.31\00:26:27.95
Jeremiah knew about this
and he wanted to record it.
00:26:28.88\00:26:32.75
God wanted him
to record it for us.
00:26:32.95\00:26:34.39
Jeremiah said there was:
"A noise... " Notice this:
00:26:34.59\00:26:37.13
"shall come even to
the ends of the earth. "
00:26:37.33\00:26:39.86
The noise here in the Hebrew
00:26:40.06\00:26:42.50
simply means it's an uproar.
00:26:42.70\00:26:44.37
There is going to
be a horrible noise
00:26:44.57\00:26:47.74
and this implies destruction.
00:26:47.94\00:26:49.90
Isn't this very
interesting here?
00:26:50.31\00:26:51.91
Jeremiah said:
"There's going to come a day
00:26:52.11\00:26:53.61
when there's going to be
some heavy destruction. "
00:26:53.81\00:26:55.71
Heavier than
most people realize.
00:26:55.91\00:26:58.01
It's going to come to
the ends of the earth.
00:26:58.41\00:27:00.65
"For the Lord has a
controversy with the nations. "
00:27:00.85\00:27:03.69
Do you believe God has a contro-
versy with the nations today?
00:27:03.89\00:27:06.49
Sure... He's God!
00:27:07.86\00:27:09.72
There's a controversy because
He's laid out in His Book -
00:27:10.23\00:27:12.93
the Book of Books - of how
we should conduct ourselves,
00:27:13.13\00:27:16.36
the way that we should act.
00:27:16.56\00:27:17.93
And yet we're refusing that.
00:27:19.10\00:27:21.00
God has a
controversy with nations;
00:27:21.20\00:27:22.80
He has it with the people.
00:27:23.00\00:27:24.91
That means He has a
complaint against us.
00:27:25.11\00:27:27.28
He has a rebuke against us...
He said here... "all flesh. "
00:27:27.48\00:27:31.81
And then He says: "I'm
going to give the wicked
00:27:32.91\00:27:35.55
to the sword. "
What does that mean?
00:27:35.75\00:27:37.49
"The wicked to the sword.
" That means to destruction.
00:27:37.69\00:27:40.16
He's going to give
the wicked to be slain.
00:27:40.36\00:27:42.29
Huh... the
wicked to be laid waste.
00:27:42.49\00:27:46.09
See this we have
to get into our head
00:27:46.49\00:27:48.30
when we're talking
about the second resurrection
00:27:48.50\00:27:50.07
and hell fire...
why it comes to this.
00:27:50.27\00:27:52.43
Why it comes to this. Why
did the prophets write about it.
00:27:52.93\00:27:55.74
The Bible says God has a
controversy with the nations.
00:27:56.50\00:27:59.04
The Bible says God has a
controversy with the people.
00:27:59.44\00:28:02.21
Remember: there's only two
classes of people that exist
00:28:02.61\00:28:05.41
at the coming of Jesus Christ.
00:28:05.61\00:28:07.62
Again, it's what?
The saved and the lost.
00:28:07.98\00:28:10.19
How do we know the difference
between the saved and the lost?
00:28:10.39\00:28:12.95
Can we know that
there is a difference?
00:28:14.12\00:28:15.56
Oh, we should know
there's a difference.
00:28:15.76\00:28:17.09
Somebody should know
that you're a Christian.
00:28:17.39\00:28:19.03
You can't be hiding around
and say: "I met a man in service
00:28:19.23\00:28:21.73
one time. We were
there for six months together
00:28:21.93\00:28:23.87
and I didn't know it
'cause I went in as a SDA,
00:28:24.07\00:28:26.43
you know,
conscientious objector.
00:28:26.63\00:28:28.20
And after we went through
training and were sent someplace
00:28:28.60\00:28:30.81
together after six
months he finally told me
00:28:31.01\00:28:33.04
"I kept it a secret
but I'm a SDA too. "
00:28:33.24\00:28:35.51
I said: "No you're not. "
00:28:35.71\00:28:37.05
How do you keep it a secret?
00:28:41.72\00:28:43.35
How do you keep it a secret?
00:28:44.19\00:28:45.65
He was doing all those
things that I refused to do
00:28:46.05\00:28:48.22
on Sabbath. Not trying
to criticize or condemn.
00:28:48.42\00:28:51.36
I'm just simply saying:
"You can't hide your colors. "
00:28:51.56\00:28:54.10
You can't hide
what's inside your heart.
00:28:54.46\00:28:56.46
Saved and the lost.
How do we know this mark?
00:28:57.53\00:29:00.67
I've heard it preached
here these last several days
00:29:00.87\00:29:04.01
about that God's
going to seal His people.
00:29:04.21\00:29:05.77
He's going to put a mark on His
people that are obedient to Him.
00:29:05.97\00:29:09.84
Isn't it interesting?
Someone even brought up,
00:29:10.05\00:29:12.05
I think this is beautiful.
If you haven't read the book
00:29:12.25\00:29:14.42
of Ezekiel lately,
please do it... please do it.
00:29:14.62\00:29:17.42
You can know and understand
Ezekiel chapter 9 verses 1-6
00:29:17.62\00:29:20.82
because there's a man
that's clothed in linen.
00:29:21.02\00:29:23.83
He has a writer's inkhorn,
you remember? on his side.
00:29:24.03\00:29:26.33
And God says: "Go
through and mark the people. "
00:29:26.73\00:29:29.63
What? The ones
that's going to be saved.
00:29:30.03\00:29:31.97
"Mark the people. " "Well,
who am I supposed to mark? "
00:29:32.77\00:29:35.14
Said: "Mark those who
are sighing and crying. "
00:29:35.54\00:29:37.91
Did you get that?
Sighing and crying for what?
00:29:38.11\00:29:40.88
"for the abominations. "
00:29:41.08\00:29:43.45
"for the
abominations that be done. "
00:29:43.85\00:29:46.15
5 Testimonies
209-10 says this...
00:29:46.35\00:29:48.35
notice this at
this point in time.
00:29:48.75\00:29:50.29
It starts out:
"There's a little company... "
00:29:50.49\00:29:52.35
God's people shouldn't be
reduced to no little company!
00:29:53.66\00:29:56.42
But a little company it says
here: "a little company who are
00:29:58.36\00:30:01.56
standing in the light
will be sighing and crying
00:30:01.76\00:30:03.87
for the abominations
that be done in the land. "
00:30:04.07\00:30:06.13
I wonder how many of us
here have spent a night sighing
00:30:06.33\00:30:08.17
and crying because of the un-
merciful things that's going on
00:30:08.37\00:30:10.74
in this world today.
00:30:10.94\00:30:12.27
Things that should hurt us but
we've grown to accustomed to it
00:30:12.54\00:30:14.61
over the news and everything
that goes on all the time
00:30:14.81\00:30:17.38
where we're just accustomed
to people being killed.
00:30:17.58\00:30:19.71
Things that are going on.
00:30:21.02\00:30:22.68
We're not sighing and
crying for the abominations.
00:30:23.75\00:30:26.19
But listen: this
gets more personal.
00:30:26.39\00:30:27.82
It got personal with me.
00:30:28.02\00:30:29.36
I got a little
bit touchy about it
00:30:29.39\00:30:30.73
as I read on. I said: "Oh, my! "
00:30:30.83\00:30:32.73
But more
especially will their prayers.
00:30:32.93\00:30:35.53
Here's the little group.
00:30:35.73\00:30:37.07
Here's the ones that
God is going to say what?
00:30:37.10\00:30:38.80
They're going to mark.
He's going to mark His people.
00:30:39.00\00:30:41.00
These ones here as sighing
and crying for the abominations
00:30:41.20\00:30:44.27
that be done. And
I'll get deeper in a minute
00:30:44.47\00:30:46.21
but right now I'm
going to say this.
00:30:46.41\00:30:47.74
"because... " notice
this... most especially are they
00:30:47.78\00:30:51.01
sighing and crying
because their prayers are what?
00:30:51.21\00:30:54.28
Huh! "They are rising
in behalf of the church. "
00:30:54.68\00:30:59.42
Why? Because its
members are doing
00:30:59.82\00:31:02.82
after the manner of the world.
00:31:03.02\00:31:04.89
We should be sighing and
crying going after the world.
00:31:06.29\00:31:08.40
The world's
enmity, right? against God.
00:31:08.60\00:31:11.00
God said "You can't
love Me and love the world. "
00:31:11.40\00:31:13.10
We can't be in the world doing
all the things in the world
00:31:13.30\00:31:15.00
and say: "Oh, we're godly. "
00:31:15.20\00:31:16.54
He said we're godless.
00:31:16.77\00:31:18.24
There has to be
a separation here.
00:31:18.44\00:31:20.54
The sealed
ones, the marked ones:
00:31:20.94\00:31:22.81
how are they distinguished?
00:31:23.31\00:31:24.95
Oh, notice: 5
Testimonies 210 says:
00:31:25.15\00:31:27.05
"They will be distinguished
from the rest of the world
00:31:27.25\00:31:29.22
by their soul
anguish. " How long has it been
00:31:29.42\00:31:32.39
since we've had some soul
anguish about what's going on
00:31:32.59\00:31:34.86
among us as a people?
00:31:35.06\00:31:36.96
How long has it been since
you've had anguish over anybody
00:31:38.03\00:31:40.93
but yourself?
00:31:41.13\00:31:42.53
Most generally
that's where it's at, right?
00:31:45.30\00:31:46.94
Me, my, and I.
00:31:47.14\00:31:48.60
But God's going
to mark the people
00:31:49.44\00:31:51.44
that's concerned
about their neighbor.
00:31:52.51\00:31:55.71
That are concerned about things
that are going on in the world
00:31:56.11\00:31:58.25
and they're sighing and crying
- notice - over those things
00:31:58.45\00:32:01.18
their soul anguish which
is expressed in lamentations.
00:32:01.38\00:32:05.15
You know what lamentations?
00:32:05.35\00:32:06.69
Lamentations? You
say: "Yeah, that's... "
00:32:06.86\00:32:08.19
Lamentations is the thing
that maybe we might experience,
00:32:08.39\00:32:12.36
Sr. Debbie, when we lose someone
like your mother this last week.
00:32:12.56\00:32:15.96
The soul anguish: lamentations.
That there's a feeling inside,
00:32:16.90\00:32:19.87
there's a sickness
inside, something died inside.
00:32:20.07\00:32:22.27
You're hurting inside.
00:32:22.47\00:32:23.81
How long has it been since
we hurt because of the things
00:32:23.91\00:32:25.91
that are going on in the
world? Going on in the church?
00:32:26.11\00:32:28.31
Going on among us?
00:32:28.51\00:32:29.91
How long has it been
since it upset us enough
00:32:30.58\00:32:33.21
to drive us to our knees?
00:32:33.42\00:32:35.05
Interesting.
00:32:35.92\00:32:37.49
Weeping and
reproofs and warning.
00:32:37.69\00:32:40.32
Most times when you
get warnings and reproof
00:32:40.52\00:32:42.32
most of the time
you're rebuked by your own.
00:32:42.52\00:32:44.76
Well I'll just go
and sit down then.
00:32:45.79\00:32:47.83
You know how it is.
You try to share something
00:32:50.57\00:32:53.13
and they say: "Oh
man, enough warnings, man.
00:32:53.34\00:32:54.77
We've heard
enough doom and gloom. "
00:32:54.97\00:32:56.34
We realize we live in an hour
which God is sending messages,
00:32:57.34\00:33:00.61
you know, from the
very throne room of God
00:33:00.81\00:33:02.81
to His people whoever
they might be around the world.
00:33:03.01\00:33:05.75
And some of them
will be messages of rebuke
00:33:05.95\00:33:09.45
to get us squared
away before He shall come
00:33:09.85\00:33:12.35
because He wants us
ready for that great day.
00:33:12.55\00:33:14.46
Warnings will come.
00:33:14.66\00:33:16.06
But at the same time
the article goes on and says
00:33:16.26\00:33:18.23
there's a group: one's trying
to warn that Jesus is coming.
00:33:18.43\00:33:22.06
Our life has to
be hid in Christ.
00:33:22.26\00:33:24.43
We have to gain
victory over sin in our life,
00:33:24.63\00:33:26.60
and it's possible through Jesus
Christ, our Lord and our Savior.
00:33:26.80\00:33:29.30
How do I know
that it's possible?
00:33:29.70\00:33:31.04
Because Jesus
gained that victory.
00:33:31.17\00:33:32.61
Jesus didn't have
an edge over you or me.
00:33:32.81\00:33:35.04
There's nothing He exercised
that we cannot exercise today.
00:33:35.24\00:33:38.55
That's beautiful!
00:33:38.75\00:33:40.28
And there's all this
stuff. People say: "Well He had
00:33:40.68\00:33:43.28
an edge on me. "
Let somebody get real.
00:33:43.49\00:33:45.12
Let's get in the
scripture, shall we?
00:33:45.32\00:33:46.76
Let's look at what the
scripture has to tell us today.
00:33:46.96\00:33:48.79
I believe this
with all my heart.
00:33:49.72\00:33:51.53
There's one group
that's sighing and crying.
00:33:51.73\00:33:53.26
You've got the other group
here that's trying to throw...
00:33:53.46\00:33:55.36
we read the article... trying
to throw a cloak over sin.
00:33:55.56\00:33:58.23
They're trying
to hide it, you see,
00:33:58.73\00:34:00.17
'cause they don't
want it exposed you know.
00:34:00.37\00:34:03.41
You know some of the group
you might try to talk to and say
00:34:03.61\00:34:05.64
"Let's not talk about these
issues; let's just move on. "
00:34:05.84\00:34:08.01
I believe tonight that the
Lord would teach us a lesson,
00:34:09.44\00:34:13.28
a lesson that you might be...
00:34:13.48\00:34:16.58
This might shock some of you.
00:34:16.79\00:34:18.12
If you jump out of your seat
or you fall out of your seat
00:34:18.15\00:34:19.99
it's all right as
long as you get back up.
00:34:20.19\00:34:23.12
And it may not, but I
think it's so interesting
00:34:26.86\00:34:29.96
as we look at it.
It says here - notice -
00:34:30.17\00:34:32.10
no... it doesn't
matter. Warning, though:
00:34:32.30\00:34:33.90
"Though we are
united in church capacity
00:34:34.10\00:34:37.77
he is not saved
until the seal of God
00:34:37.97\00:34:40.58
is placed on his forehead. "
00:34:40.78\00:34:42.54
Name is on the book?
00:34:42.74\00:34:44.25
That doesn't mean
you're going to be saved.
00:34:44.45\00:34:45.91
"I belong to the
Adventist church. " So what?
00:34:46.11\00:34:48.38
Doesn't mean
you're going to be saved.
00:34:49.42\00:34:51.02
Is your name written in
the Lamb's Book of Life?
00:34:53.22\00:34:55.56
No one's going to enter heaven
unless he bears the sign of God.
00:34:55.76\00:35:00.26
Sign and seal of God
00:35:00.56\00:35:02.40
is those who keep His command-
ments including the seventh day.
00:35:02.60\00:35:04.83
I hope you're
with me. Notice again:
00:35:05.03\00:35:07.04
3 Testimonies 267.
00:35:07.44\00:35:11.57
Mark this point
with care please tonight.
00:35:11.97\00:35:14.88
"Those who receive the
pure mark of truth... "
00:35:15.68\00:35:19.28
brought in by the
power of the Holy Spirit -
00:35:19.48\00:35:22.68
the Holy Ghost -
which is represented by this
00:35:22.88\00:35:25.82
mark that's placed
by the man in linen.
00:35:26.02\00:35:28.69
"are those... " A little
bit deeper with you here.
00:35:29.09\00:35:31.49
Some of you
don't want to hear it.
00:35:31.69\00:35:33.03
Well... it doesn't
matter. Going to hear it anyway.
00:35:33.19\00:35:36.67
I like to agitate in a good way.
00:35:39.53\00:35:43.17
Because we're to
agitate because there's too much
00:35:43.57\00:35:45.24
soft pedaling going on.
00:35:45.44\00:35:46.84
There's not enough
shaking going on in the church.
00:35:47.24\00:35:49.11
And we need that in
order to say: "Wait a minute!
00:35:50.18\00:35:53.18
This guy's out of his mind. "
00:35:53.38\00:35:54.72
Well, get in the Word
and see whether it is.
00:35:55.05\00:35:56.69
If you're not going to do
that, then don't challenge it.
00:35:56.89\00:35:59.55
If you can't get
into the Word of God.
00:35:59.75\00:36:01.32
You've got to have something
written from the Word of God
00:36:01.52\00:36:03.43
here. Article says, notice this:
00:36:03.63\00:36:06.93
"that man is sighing and
crying for the abominations
00:36:07.96\00:36:11.37
that be done in the church. "
00:36:11.57\00:36:13.34
Did you get that?
00:36:13.74\00:36:15.07
Sighing? Are we sighing
and crying for the abominations
00:36:15.84\00:36:18.61
that be done in the church?
00:36:18.81\00:36:20.34
That's what 3
Testimonies 267 says.
00:36:20.54\00:36:22.84
Why? "Because they have so
clear a view of the exceeding
00:36:23.78\00:36:27.15
sinfulness of sin... "
Huh! "that they are represented
00:36:27.35\00:36:32.05
as being in agony. "
Do we have a clear concept
00:36:32.25\00:36:36.83
or conception of
what sin has cost?
00:36:37.03\00:36:39.93
Do we really understand
the sinfulness of sin?
00:36:40.80\00:36:44.17
The ones who are
sighing and crying and in agony
00:36:44.57\00:36:47.40
because they
understand what it cost.
00:36:47.60\00:36:49.54
What it's doing to this
world; doing to our family;
00:36:49.74\00:36:51.84
doing to our
friends. We have to have that
00:36:52.04\00:36:54.58
in our hearts and our minds.
00:36:54.78\00:36:56.14
But you know what?
Worldlings seem to have a clear
00:36:56.34\00:36:58.75
view of things.
What do you mean by that?
00:36:58.95\00:37:02.32
Well they seem to have an
awful clear view you know of...
00:37:02.52\00:37:04.95
of things that are
going on in the world.
00:37:05.15\00:37:07.96
They seem to have a clear view
of what's going on in Hollywood.
00:37:08.16\00:37:11.26
They seem to have a
clear view of what's going on
00:37:12.66\00:37:14.43
in the theaters.
00:37:14.63\00:37:15.96
They seem to have a clear
view of things that are going on
00:37:16.03\00:37:18.20
as it were in the dance halls.
00:37:18.40\00:37:20.40
They seem to have a clear view
of all the things that the devil
00:37:20.80\00:37:23.30
has thrown out there
for us not only to look
00:37:23.51\00:37:25.91
but to listen to and to taste.
00:37:26.11\00:37:28.38
They seem to have
a clear view of that.
00:37:29.68\00:37:31.71
We should have a clear
view of the spiritual work.
00:37:31.91\00:37:35.48
Oh... time's going by.
00:37:35.68\00:37:37.12
I love the promise that's given.
00:37:39.39\00:37:41.02
Let's just skip over real
quick. I've got off of that box,
00:37:41.22\00:37:43.02
I'll get on another
one and I may jump back on.
00:37:43.22\00:37:45.33
Don't worry about it... just...
00:37:45.53\00:37:48.20
I Thessalonians 4:16-17.
00:37:49.66\00:37:51.70
You all have this in
your heart and in your mind
00:37:51.90\00:37:53.64
because... Second resurrection.
We've gotta figure out
00:37:53.84\00:37:56.40
what's gonna happen
at the coming of Jesus.
00:37:56.60\00:37:58.31
False teachings out
there. Well, He's gonna come.
00:37:58.71\00:38:01.21
He's gonna walk around here and
He's gonna do mighty miracles
00:38:01.41\00:38:03.31
and wonders and
all. My Bible says:
00:38:03.51\00:38:05.31
I Thessalonians 4:16-17, right?
00:38:05.51\00:38:07.58
The Bible says "The dead
in Christ shall... " Do what?
00:38:07.78\00:38:09.82
"rise first. " That doesn't mean
second' that doesn't mean third.
00:38:10.02\00:38:12.99
Anybody says that Jesus has
come, He's working miracles,
00:38:13.49\00:38:16.19
He's running to
and fro and over here
00:38:16.39\00:38:18.09
well then I want to
go out to the cemetery.
00:38:18.29\00:38:19.79
I want to look at all of
them 'cause every little town
00:38:20.00\00:38:21.93
and every little village
there's always a cemetery.
00:38:22.13\00:38:24.30
I want to see it look like
popcorn goin' on out there.
00:38:24.50\00:38:27.04
Are you still with me?
00:38:27.24\00:38:28.64
Because my Bible says
the dead in Christ rise.
00:38:28.84\00:38:31.24
They don't rise...
they pop out of the graves.
00:38:31.44\00:38:33.17
Think about it!
00:38:33.38\00:38:37.01
If they've not come out
of the graves like popcorn -
00:38:37.21\00:38:39.78
the graves are empty out there
- the righteous anyway coming
00:38:39.98\00:38:41.98
forth, that means the
real Jesus has not come.
00:38:42.18\00:38:44.52
And the false one will
come before the real one.
00:38:44.72\00:38:46.96
Dead in Christ rise first.
00:38:47.72\00:38:49.12
We which are alive
and remain will what?
00:38:49.32\00:38:51.39
Will be caught up
to meet Him in the air.
00:38:51.59\00:38:53.26
So shall we ever
be with the Lord.
00:38:53.46\00:38:54.83
So what do you
remember about that?
00:38:55.03\00:38:56.53
What's going to happen
when Jesus comes? Right?
00:38:56.93\00:39:00.07
The righteous who have died
in Him come out of the grave.
00:39:00.27\00:39:04.07
They what? The living righteous
are caught up to meet Him
00:39:04.27\00:39:07.48
in the air. Simply saying what?
00:39:07.64\00:39:09.28
His feet do not touch the
ground at His second coming!
00:39:09.78\00:39:13.05
Most people don't
realize the third coming.
00:39:13.45\00:39:15.42
We'll get into it in a minute.
00:39:15.62\00:39:16.95
How awesome that is!
00:39:18.12\00:39:20.56
But what happens? There's
only one group that's left.
00:39:21.56\00:39:23.93
It's the wicked. II
Thessalonians 2 verse 8
00:39:24.13\00:39:27.26
says what? They're
struck dead by the brightness
00:39:27.46\00:39:29.93
of His coming. OK... you
have the righteous in the grave,
00:39:30.13\00:39:32.77
right? That's
died. They come out.
00:39:32.97\00:39:34.90
Ooh! We'll have
bodies like Jesus!
00:39:35.30\00:39:36.97
Wouldn't you like to have
one of those? I'm sick and tired
00:39:37.17\00:39:38.57
of this old mug... I
don't know about you.
00:39:38.77\00:39:40.28
You look pretty good, but
I'm not looking that good.
00:39:40.48\00:39:42.68
So if the righteous come
out - come on, say it with me -
00:39:47.42\00:39:49.52
the living still alive caught
up to meet Him in the air.
00:39:50.79\00:39:53.92
Then the wicked are struck dead
by the brightness of His coming
00:39:54.12\00:39:57.03
is what it says.
Destroyed by... Why?
00:39:57.23\00:39:59.59
Because the wicked can't
stand in the presence of God.
00:39:59.79\00:40:02.43
Sin, right? Sinners just can't
stand in the presence of God.
00:40:02.63\00:40:05.23
That's why God said
many times in the...
00:40:06.90\00:40:08.50
You know, Moses
wanted to look at Him.
00:40:08.70\00:40:10.17
What'd He say? "You
can only look at My back. "
00:40:10.37\00:40:12.21
Couldn't look at the
face of God and live.
00:40:12.41\00:40:14.21
Sin! So we see
that righteous group
00:40:15.44\00:40:20.12
Christ takes back
to the City of God.
00:40:20.32\00:40:22.92
Ooh! How wonderful that is!
00:40:23.12\00:40:24.85
The other group we
said were destroyed.
00:40:25.05\00:40:26.92
So what does
the earth look like?
00:40:27.12\00:40:28.46
We have to understand these
issues. Isaiah saw it clearly.
00:40:28.52\00:40:31.83
God gave him
prophecy: "Write this down. "
00:40:32.33\00:40:35.26
In Isaiah 24
verses 1 and 3 and 5 and 6
00:40:35.46\00:40:41.20
"Write this down. " Now
notice this: people say:
00:40:41.40\00:40:43.74
"Well when He comes things
will kind of go on as usual.
00:40:43.94\00:40:46.44
We're going to go ahead
and we're going to do this. "
00:40:46.64\00:40:47.98
NOT what the Bible says!
00:40:48.18\00:40:49.54
That's not what the Bible says.
00:40:49.94\00:40:51.28
Isaiah said it...
notice what he said:
00:40:51.45\00:40:53.35
"Behold, He
maketh the earth empty. "
00:40:54.22\00:40:56.65
Well, that didn't...
He didn't say half full.
00:40:57.05\00:40:58.79
He said He's
going to make it empty.
00:40:59.85\00:41:01.92
"He maketh it waste. "
00:41:02.79\00:41:05.16
In the Hebrew you
know what that means?
00:41:05.56\00:41:06.90
"He makes it
waste? " He makes it DEAD!
00:41:07.06\00:41:09.26
That's pretty... It's destroyed!
00:41:09.46\00:41:11.87
Huh! "He turneth it upside down.
00:41:12.07\00:41:15.50
He scattereth abroad
the inhabitants thereof. "
00:41:15.70\00:41:18.27
Notice this: "The land
shall be utterly emptied. "
00:41:19.24\00:41:23.85
That doesn't mean
it's going to be a partial.
00:41:24.05\00:41:25.88
"Utterly emptied. " It's
going to be utterly spoiled
00:41:26.08\00:41:29.15
is what the Bible said: "For
the Lord hath spoken this. "
00:41:29.35\00:41:32.19
Why did He do that?
00:41:32.59\00:41:33.92
Why has it come to this?
00:41:34.32\00:41:35.96
"Because they have
transgressed the law
00:41:36.16\00:41:38.66
and changed the ordinances. "
00:41:38.86\00:41:40.90
They've broken as we heard about
today the everlasting covenant.
00:41:41.10\00:41:44.10
Huh! "Therefore hath a
curse devoured the earth.
00:41:44.50\00:41:49.37
They that dwell therein
are desolate; therefore,
00:41:49.57\00:41:52.61
the inhabitants of
the earth are burned. "
00:41:52.81\00:41:56.61
Wow! So that means there's what?
00:41:57.11\00:42:00.55
There's no one here.
00:42:00.75\00:42:02.08
Does that make
sense? There's no one here.
00:42:02.25\00:42:04.75
The righteous come
out of the grave, right?
00:42:05.35\00:42:07.16
Living rise to
meet Him in the air.
00:42:07.36\00:42:09.92
The dead - living, right? -
they're supposed to be alive
00:42:10.13\00:42:12.79
but they're struck dead by
the brightness of His coming.
00:42:12.99\00:42:15.40
The earth, then, is
desolate. There's no one here
00:42:16.56\00:42:19.13
is what the Bible says.
00:42:19.33\00:42:20.67
Interesting. John
the Revelator tells us
00:42:20.70\00:42:23.00
about Satan. He said
Satan's going to be imprisoned.
00:42:23.20\00:42:26.07
Right? There's going to be a
seal set on Satan during this
00:42:26.27\00:42:29.31
thousand years
after Jesus comes,
00:42:29.51\00:42:31.38
after this takes place.
Then He said to the old devil:
00:42:31.58\00:42:33.82
"You can't go. " There's
nothing left here on this earth,
00:42:34.02\00:42:36.02
on this planet. He's sealed up.
00:42:36.22\00:42:38.09
He's going to be... There's
going to be a private mark
00:42:38.29\00:42:40.52
as it were on the enemy here.
00:42:40.72\00:42:42.59
There's going to be a
security set over the enemy.
00:42:43.29\00:42:45.89
Hmm. That he'll not be able to
go out and deceive the nations
00:42:47.10\00:42:50.97
any more until what?
Until the thousand years are?
00:42:51.17\00:42:54.60
Are finished. Isaiah the
Prophet says about the enemy...
00:42:54.80\00:42:58.71
This might be a shock if
you've never read it before
00:42:58.91\00:43:01.01
but I want you to
think with me on this.
00:43:01.21\00:43:02.94
Isaiah chapter 14
verses 12 through 17.
00:43:03.14\00:43:06.61
Can't read all the
verses but notice what it says.
00:43:07.02\00:43:09.18
This is at the
end... notice what it says.
00:43:09.38\00:43:12.05
They're talking
about looking upon Satan,
00:43:13.19\00:43:16.02
right? Looking upon
Satan. It says this:
00:43:17.13\00:43:19.39
"They that see thee
shall narrowly look upon thee
00:43:19.59\00:43:24.30
and they're going
to consider thee. "
00:43:24.50\00:43:25.97
They're going to
look upon the old devil
00:43:26.17\00:43:27.50
that's done all
these things and say:
00:43:27.54\00:43:28.87
"Saying: 'Is this the man
that made the earth tremble?
00:43:28.90\00:43:32.11
That did shake the
kingdoms? ' " Notice this:
00:43:32.31\00:43:36.04
"That made the
world a wilderness... "
00:43:36.24\00:43:38.65
Hmm. "and destroyed
the cities thereof? "
00:43:38.85\00:43:42.35
Interesting. See,
during the thousand years
00:43:42.55\00:43:45.89
between the first
and second resurrections
00:43:46.09\00:43:48.52
there is a judgment.
And people try to be...
00:43:48.72\00:43:50.76
Oh, be careful: they
want to be smart sometimes
00:43:50.96\00:43:52.73
and say: "There's no use
because... " What happens?
00:43:52.93\00:43:55.20
The righteous are already there
and the wicked if that be true,
00:43:55.40\00:43:57.70
right? The wicked struck dead.
00:43:57.90\00:43:59.83
So why talk about a judgment?
00:44:00.04\00:44:02.00
Aren't you glad
that God is good?
00:44:02.20\00:44:03.54
Aren't you glad
that God loves you?
00:44:03.64\00:44:05.01
Because I guarantee you
right now: you make it to the
00:44:05.21\00:44:07.08
kingdom of God you're going
to want to know why your mate's
00:44:07.28\00:44:09.18
not there or is there
or maybe you're not there.
00:44:09.38\00:44:11.08
You're going to want to
know why Mama's not there
00:44:11.28\00:44:13.28
because you thought, you
know, so on and so forth.
00:44:13.48\00:44:15.18
We're going to have the
opportunity to be able to spend
00:44:15.38\00:44:17.42
that time going over the records
of those that are not there
00:44:17.62\00:44:20.76
so that we will be
settled that God is right.
00:44:20.96\00:44:23.59
Isn't He
wonderful? Isn't that love?
00:44:24.19\00:44:25.99
He doesn't have to do that.
00:44:26.19\00:44:27.53
The righteous go over
the books and they can see
00:44:28.26\00:44:31.33
that the decisions that have
been made are right on target.
00:44:31.53\00:44:35.44
You say: "What? " Paul
points... In the New Testament
00:44:35.84\00:44:38.04
Paul points to the
events of the judgment
00:44:38.24\00:44:40.01
following the
second coming of Jesus.
00:44:40.21\00:44:42.81
I Corinthians 4:5...
say it with me quick.
00:44:43.01\00:44:45.08
It says: "Judge nothing
before the time. " Do what?
00:44:45.48\00:44:48.42
"Judge nothing... " Come
on, church; somebody help me.
00:44:49.32\00:44:51.35
"Judge nothing before the
time until the Lord comes. "
00:44:51.55\00:44:54.82
Judge nothing
what? "before the time
00:44:55.02\00:44:57.33
until the Lord comes. "
Notice how it goes on and says:
00:44:57.53\00:45:00.46
"who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness
00:45:00.66\00:45:04.87
and will make manifest
the counsels of the heart. "
00:45:05.07\00:45:08.30
Everything is
going to be laid open.
00:45:08.80\00:45:11.34
That's what Paul said.
00:45:11.54\00:45:12.97
You know what
Daniel has to say about it?
00:45:13.17\00:45:14.71
In Daniel 7:22 he says:
00:45:14.91\00:45:16.58
"When the Ancient
of Days comes... "
00:45:16.78\00:45:18.38
Who is the Ancient of Days?
00:45:18.58\00:45:20.12
It's God! "When the Ancient
of Days came... " Notice it:
00:45:20.32\00:45:23.22
"judgment was given
to the saints on high. "
00:45:23.42\00:45:26.29
People say: "Well the
judgment's not given to them. "
00:45:26.49\00:45:28.42
The Bible says the judgment
will be given to the what?
00:45:28.62\00:45:31.76
"The saints of
the Most High God. "
00:45:31.96\00:45:34.00
There's a reason
for that. Notice:
00:45:34.20\00:45:36.10
John joins in again. John
chapter 20 verses 4 and 6.
00:45:36.30\00:45:40.07
John said this. I
believe he's a prophet of God,
00:45:40.84\00:45:42.84
don't you? John
said this in the Word.
00:45:43.04\00:45:45.04
He said: "I saw
thrones... " Ooh, glory!
00:45:45.24\00:45:47.01
and they that sat upon them
and judgment was given to them
00:45:47.21\00:45:50.85
that they shall be
priests of God and Christ... "
00:45:51.05\00:45:53.62
Notice this: "and they shall
reign with Him... " How long?
00:45:53.82\00:45:56.02
"one thousand years. "
00:45:56.22\00:45:57.75
They shall reign with
Him what? One thousand years.
00:45:58.15\00:46:00.36
You know you say, "Well, we're
going back to the righteous. "
00:46:00.56\00:46:02.32
You know that eternity's
more than a thousand years,
00:46:02.52\00:46:04.76
don't you? Sure you do.
00:46:04.96\00:46:07.56
So there's something about
this here it's talking about.
00:46:07.76\00:46:10.50
They reign at this point
in time for a thousand years
00:46:11.00\00:46:13.74
between the two resurrections.
00:46:13.94\00:46:15.84
Interesting. Paul
says in I Corinthians 6:2.
00:46:16.04\00:46:20.78
Time's going down here.
I Corinthians 6 verse 2...
00:46:20.98\00:46:23.71
jot it down, I'll
read as fast as I can...
00:46:23.91\00:46:25.55
It says: "The saints
shall judge the world. "
00:46:25.75\00:46:29.32
The saints together
with Christ judge the what?
00:46:29.52\00:46:32.22
The wicked, comparing their
deeds to this Book, the Bible.
00:46:32.42\00:46:37.46
Interesting.
This is it right here.
00:46:37.96\00:46:40.13
This is what's telling
whether it's good or it's bad.
00:46:41.23\00:46:43.87
There's no "I
think somebody said"
00:46:44.27\00:46:46.70
and "Joe said down the road. "
00:46:46.90\00:46:48.30
It's what God says
we know in His Word.
00:46:48.70\00:46:50.77
This is the statute book; this
is the book of righteousness.
00:46:50.97\00:46:54.11
And the wicked will meet
their works because the penalty
00:46:54.51\00:46:58.31
has to be paid because
God said that's the way
00:46:58.51\00:47:00.62
it's going to work because
the wages of sin is what?
00:47:00.82\00:47:03.15
Death! The wages of sin:
that's what the Bible says.
00:47:03.45\00:47:05.42
"The wages of sin is death. "
00:47:05.62\00:47:06.96
You say: "Well I
don't know about the Bible
00:47:07.06\00:47:08.52
'cause we're worried
about keeping the law,
00:47:08.72\00:47:10.06
worried about
doing all of this... "
00:47:10.09\00:47:11.43
The Bible says -
what is it? in James 2:12
00:47:11.46\00:47:14.03
"So speak ye and so do
as they that shall be judged
00:47:14.23\00:47:17.47
by the law of liberty. "
00:47:17.67\00:47:19.30
We'll be judged out of those
things written in this Book.
00:47:19.50\00:47:21.87
Makes it so clear for us.
00:47:22.37\00:47:24.97
Satan's evil
angels are also judged.
00:47:25.17\00:47:27.81
Did you get? I
Corinthians 6 verse 3.
00:47:28.01\00:47:30.05
"Know ye not that ye
shall judge angels? "
00:47:30.45\00:47:33.58
Well I know I'm not going
to be judging the good angels
00:47:33.78\00:47:35.58
because they've never
fallen, they have no sin.
00:47:35.78\00:47:37.89
So it must be the evil
angels here that we will be able
00:47:38.09\00:47:40.39
to look and judge according
to their deeds and their works.
00:47:40.59\00:47:44.29
Jude even talks about it.
00:47:45.26\00:47:47.10
It's not like reading one pass-
age and this is the way it is.
00:47:47.30\00:47:49.56
Jude verse 6 tells us this:
00:47:49.96\00:47:52.17
"The angels which kept not...
" What? "their first estate... "
00:47:52.37\00:47:56.30
Notice this: "but
left their own habitation
00:47:56.50\00:47:59.24
He hath reserved
into everlasting chains
00:47:59.44\00:48:03.55
under darkness unto the
judgment on the great Day. "
00:48:03.75\00:48:06.68
People talk about
hell fire going on.
00:48:06.88\00:48:08.42
That's not what
the Bible teaches.
00:48:08.62\00:48:10.02
They're reserved. If anybody
needs to be in hell fire,
00:48:10.42\00:48:12.55
it may be the evil angels.
Anybody to go to hell fire
00:48:12.75\00:48:14.82
should be Satan
should it not be?
00:48:15.02\00:48:16.62
Man, we need to look at
this thing and say: "What is it
00:48:17.73\00:48:20.33
talking about? "
00:48:20.53\00:48:21.86
At the close of the thousand
years the second resurrection
00:48:22.20\00:48:25.93
takes place. The wicked
are going to be raised back
00:48:26.13\00:48:30.91
to life again. They're
going to appear before God
00:48:31.11\00:48:33.91
for the execution. Man, that's
something you don't want to
00:48:34.11\00:48:36.88
really talk about, but
that's what the Bible says.
00:48:37.08\00:48:39.01
That's why it's important
to come up and plan on the
00:48:39.21\00:48:40.88
first
resurrection, isn't that right?
00:48:41.08\00:48:42.58
Second resurrection... you
don't want to come back in that.
00:48:42.78\00:48:44.82
That's what the Bible says.
00:48:45.02\00:48:46.35
Revelation chapter 20
verse 5 the Bible is clear.
00:48:46.39\00:48:49.06
It says: "The rest of the
dead lived not again until the
00:48:49.26\00:48:51.73
thousand years were finished. "
00:48:51.93\00:48:53.26
That makes it pretty
clear, isn't that right?
00:48:53.66\00:48:55.00
They're struck dead
when He comes. It says:
00:48:55.03\00:48:56.36
"The rest of the
dead. " Hi, Sweetie.
00:48:56.40\00:48:58.07
"Lived not again until the
thousand years are finished. "
00:48:58.27\00:49:00.44
You know that.
00:49:01.17\00:49:02.54
See, that's good from scripture.
00:49:02.74\00:49:05.11
Not only did John
know it - the Revelator.
00:49:05.31\00:49:06.94
Isaiah confirms it.
Isaiah chapter 24 verse 22.
00:49:07.14\00:49:10.75
Notice this. Some of
you may have not read this
00:49:11.15\00:49:12.91
lately... maybe you've
forgotten, but it says:
00:49:13.11\00:49:14.68
"They shall be gathered
together as prisoners are
00:49:15.08\00:49:17.65
gathered in the pit and shall
be shut up in the prison... "
00:49:17.85\00:49:21.66
Notice this: "and after many
days they shall be visited. "
00:49:21.86\00:49:25.73
After what? After
the thousand years
00:49:26.13\00:49:27.53
are going to be visited again.
00:49:27.73\00:49:29.13
Interesting. The
close of the thousand years
00:49:29.96\00:49:32.40
what? Christ
returns to this earth.
00:49:32.60\00:49:35.47
He descends with that
New Jerusalem. Praise God!
00:49:35.67\00:49:38.27
Somebody wants to be in
there, isn't that right?
00:49:38.47\00:49:40.24
And with the saints that
are coming and it lands on
00:49:40.44\00:49:42.28
the Mount of
Olives. Is that right?
00:49:42.48\00:49:44.31
The Mount of Olives it
says right there, right?
00:49:44.71\00:49:46.58
It splits from the
north and goes to the south.
00:49:46.78\00:49:48.98
That New Jerusalem just
rests there upon the earth.
00:49:49.38\00:49:52.05
There's
something that's going on.
00:49:52.82\00:49:54.32
And then Christ does what?
He raises the wicked back up.
00:49:54.52\00:49:58.23
But what happens? Huh?
The enemy sees multitudes.
00:49:58.43\00:50:01.66
Millions and billions come
up in that second resurrection.
00:50:01.86\00:50:04.73
How sad! The devil still
thinks this earth is his.
00:50:04.93\00:50:07.47
He still thinks there's a chance
00:50:07.87\00:50:09.60
that somehow he can win it back
00:50:09.80\00:50:11.14
'cause he sees this,
as it were, small city.
00:50:11.24\00:50:13.54
And the Bible
talks about what they do.
00:50:13.94\00:50:15.61
They surround that city.
00:50:15.81\00:50:17.45
Oh, we have to
realize what happens.
00:50:17.95\00:50:19.65
Zechariah talks about it.
00:50:19.85\00:50:21.42
It says in Zechariah
14:5: "The Lord my God
00:50:21.62\00:50:25.45
shall come and all
the saints with Him. "
00:50:25.65\00:50:28.06
People read that and
they'll say: "See, when you die
00:50:28.26\00:50:30.33
you go to
heaven; you come back. "
00:50:30.53\00:50:31.86
That's talking about when Christ
comes back the third time.
00:50:31.89\00:50:35.53
Did you get it? First
time He walked the earth,
00:50:36.03\00:50:37.90
right? Second time His
feet did not touch the earth.
00:50:38.10\00:50:40.34
The third time that He comes
He comes with the New Jerusalem.
00:50:40.54\00:50:42.94
Isn't that wonderful? Amen!
00:50:43.14\00:50:44.51
And all the
saints that are in it!
00:50:44.71\00:50:46.44
And it lands right
here on this earth.
00:50:47.11\00:50:48.71
It's going to be the
capitol of the universe!
00:50:48.91\00:50:51.38
Whoo! The throne room of God;
00:50:51.58\00:50:53.45
how wonderful
that's going to be!
00:50:53.65\00:50:54.98
No other nation, no
other people have been involved
00:50:55.18\00:50:57.19
in anything like this. This is
the only blight in the universe
00:50:57.39\00:51:00.66
and God's going to put that out.
00:51:00.86\00:51:02.69
And how does He do
it? How do you purify?
00:51:03.19\00:51:04.89
Certainly has to be
with fire, does it not?
00:51:05.09\00:51:06.66
"I'm going to visit
after many days" He says.
00:51:06.86\00:51:08.96
Promise of His
return. Zechariah 14 verse 5.
00:51:10.00\00:51:12.83
"The Lord my God shall
come and the saints with Him. "
00:51:13.23\00:51:15.04
Zechariah 14 verse 4
says: "And His feet shall stand
00:51:15.24\00:51:18.67
in that day on
the Mount of Olives. "
00:51:18.87\00:51:20.74
You think we're
just making it up?
00:51:20.94\00:51:22.28
We're even told where
that city's going to land,
00:51:22.44\00:51:24.41
isn't that right? On the
Mount of Olives right here.
00:51:24.61\00:51:27.02
And it even says
right here - ooh!
00:51:27.22\00:51:28.88
"And that mountain shall
be removed toward the north
00:51:29.08\00:51:31.72
and half of it
toward the south. "
00:51:31.92\00:51:33.52
We can know
where it's going to be!
00:51:34.02\00:51:35.92
We need to be prepared for that.
00:51:36.12\00:51:37.46
Zechariah 14:9 says:
"And the Lord shall be King
00:51:37.49\00:51:40.60
over all the earth. In that day
00:51:40.80\00:51:44.10
there will be one
Lord and His name one. "
00:51:44.30\00:51:47.47
Isn't that wonderful?
See, the enemy still sees
00:51:47.67\00:51:50.01
an opportunity here. He
sees all the evil angels
00:51:50.21\00:51:53.54
and the wicked dead
who are raised to life
00:51:53.74\00:51:56.18
at the third coming of
Jesus after the thousand years.
00:51:56.38\00:52:00.58
Satan sees this vast multitude.
00:52:00.98\00:52:03.55
They're still looking...
Let me tell you this: remember,
00:52:03.75\00:52:05.79
the wicked when they get in
the graves, isn't that right?
00:52:06.19\00:52:08.32
When they come out of
the grave they look just like
00:52:08.52\00:52:11.49
when they went into the grave.
00:52:11.89\00:52:13.96
That's going to be a
mess in some situations.
00:52:14.93\00:52:17.57
You know that.
00:52:17.77\00:52:19.10
But praise God, when those
righteous come out, ooh they're
00:52:19.13\00:52:20.97
changed in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye
00:52:21.17\00:52:22.94
at the last trump.
They're going to have bodies
00:52:23.14\00:52:25.01
and minds like Jesus
Christ! Isn't that wonderful?
00:52:25.21\00:52:27.04
Amen! You want that mind,
you want that body of Jesus.
00:52:27.44\00:52:30.55
But the wicked come up just
the way they went down in that.
00:52:30.75\00:52:33.38
But you know what?
And what does Satan do?
00:52:33.58\00:52:35.15
He continues his lies.
00:52:35.35\00:52:37.02
He continues lying to them!
00:52:37.42\00:52:38.95
"I raised you up! "
00:52:39.15\00:52:40.82
"I raised you up! "
00:52:41.62\00:52:42.96
"You see that city?
How glorious it is? "
00:52:43.12\00:52:44.93
Look at the mess
that they're standing in.
00:52:45.13\00:52:47.03
We read what the
earth is going to be like.
00:52:47.43\00:52:49.20
Isn't it? There's nothing here!
00:52:49.40\00:52:50.83
And they look around
and they say: "Oh man,
00:52:51.60\00:52:52.93
this is a mess! " They
look at the New Jerusalem
00:52:53.10\00:52:54.54
and say: "Wow! I
want that. " I would, too!
00:52:54.74\00:52:56.87
"I want to be in that place!
" And the devil lies to them
00:52:57.94\00:53:00.04
again. Says: "That
should be your place
00:53:00.24\00:53:02.24
but while you were dead
Christ came and they took it
00:53:02.64\00:53:04.98
away from us. Let's go get it. "
00:53:05.18\00:53:06.92
There's a mob action once again.
00:53:07.32\00:53:08.78
"Let's go get that
city; let's take that city! "
00:53:08.98\00:53:11.29
Wow! What awesome thoughts!
00:53:12.75\00:53:14.72
All of them then
surround that city
00:53:15.66\00:53:18.06
and they think somehow
we're going to take that city.
00:53:20.76\00:53:24.67
The enemy works...
he still has power.
00:53:25.07\00:53:27.37
He works wonders...
00:53:27.57\00:53:28.97
he gives them strength
to do what needs to be done.
00:53:29.17\00:53:32.67
They believe that
he can still do it.
00:53:32.87\00:53:34.88
New Jerusalem sitting
on the Mount of Olives
00:53:35.74\00:53:38.48
now surrounded by Satan
and all of his followers.
00:53:38.88\00:53:42.08
Revelation 20
verse 9 talks about that.
00:53:42.28\00:53:44.69
It says: "And they
surround that Holy City. "
00:53:45.09\00:53:47.32
They still think
they can take it.
00:53:47.82\00:53:50.06
There's a force of evil here
00:53:51.29\00:53:53.26
from the very beginning of
ages all down through the...
00:53:53.46\00:53:56.46
Billions surround that city.
00:53:56.97\00:53:59.40
I want you to remember this:
00:54:00.34\00:54:01.87
before they're "put out"
I'm going to say of their misery
00:54:02.07\00:54:04.67
they're going to have an
opportunity to see their life
00:54:05.07\00:54:10.35
and what could have been.
00:54:10.55\00:54:12.05
That's quite a sermon
title: What Could Have Been.
00:54:12.45\00:54:16.69
I look at my own life and I say:
"Lord what could have been. "
00:54:16.89\00:54:20.56
What could have been
for our young people today.
00:54:21.12\00:54:23.12
Don't make it say
"Oh, it can't be because
00:54:23.32\00:54:25.09
I got off track. "
What could have been...
00:54:25.29\00:54:28.56
What could have been if
we stayed right on the track
00:54:29.83\00:54:32.03
with Jesus Christ? How
He'd be able to use us!
00:54:32.23\00:54:34.77
But they realize
they're without excuse.
00:54:36.37\00:54:39.17
There's no one to
help them right now.
00:54:39.37\00:54:41.71
Sentence has been
pronounced upon them: death.
00:54:41.91\00:54:44.51
And you know what
Great Controversy talks about
00:54:44.71\00:54:46.48
on page 668? It says:
"It's now evident... "
00:54:46.68\00:54:49.08
Notice quickly...
a few minutes left...
00:54:49.28\00:54:50.65
"It is now evident
that all the wages of sin
00:54:50.85\00:54:53.86
is not independence...
" Ha! Ha! Did you get it?
00:54:54.06\00:54:56.79
It's not independence. Huh!
00:54:56.99\00:55:01.20
And it's not eternal life
00:55:01.40\00:55:03.73
but it's
slavery, ruin, and death.
00:55:03.93\00:55:07.87
The second death. You
don't want to come up...
00:55:08.27\00:55:10.24
I'm telling you right now: every
person that's ever been born
00:55:10.44\00:55:12.41
on this planet and every
one of you sitting in here
00:55:12.81\00:55:14.54
will face one or the other.
00:55:14.74\00:55:16.21
I will face one or the other.
00:55:16.41\00:55:18.21
You have to
decide what it's going...
00:55:18.41\00:55:19.98
Is the world more
important or is serving God?
00:55:20.18\00:55:23.75
Do you realize the old enemy?
I'm going to read this quickly.
00:55:24.15\00:55:25.85
Ezekiel 28:18-19
talks about the enemy.
00:55:26.05\00:55:30.33
God says: "Therefore I
will bring forth a fire
00:55:30.53\00:55:33.06
from the midst of
thee. It shall devour thee
00:55:33.26\00:55:36.10
and I will bring thee
to ashes upon the earth
00:55:36.30\00:55:38.67
in the sight of all men. "
00:55:38.87\00:55:40.20
The devil is going
to be brought to what?
00:55:40.40\00:55:42.70
Ashes. To ashes
in the sight of men.
00:55:42.90\00:55:44.94
So about this, people
say: "burning forever and ever
00:55:45.14\00:55:47.21
and ever" just
does not make sense
00:55:47.41\00:55:48.88
for just the person who
comes and lives a few years
00:55:49.08\00:55:50.98
and does what they do
and they don't find Jesus
00:55:51.18\00:55:52.55
and they burn. Why
should they burn eternally
00:55:52.75\00:55:54.52
over and over and
over and the devil himself
00:55:54.72\00:55:56.69
is going to be burned to ashes?
00:55:56.89\00:55:58.22
The Bible says the righteous
"will tread upon the ashes
00:55:58.25\00:56:00.06
of the wicked; they'll
be brought to an end. "
00:56:00.26\00:56:02.62
"All that know thee among
the people shall be astonished
00:56:03.02\00:56:06.59
at thee. Thou shalt be a terror
00:56:06.80\00:56:09.56
and never shall
thou be any more. "
00:56:09.76\00:56:11.73
The day is coming there's going
to be an end to the old enemy,
00:56:12.13\00:56:14.24
praise God. Isaiah 9:5.
00:56:14.44\00:56:15.77
"Every battle the warrior is
with confused noise and garments
00:56:16.04\00:56:19.64
rolled in blood but
shall be with burning
00:56:19.74\00:56:23.01
and fuel of fire. "
00:56:23.21\00:56:24.78
Friend, "Behold the day
cometh... " the last minute...
00:56:25.91\00:56:28.48
"Behold the day cometh that
shall burn... " Malachi 4:1...
00:56:28.68\00:56:31.52
"as an oven. All the
proud, yea, all that do wickedly
00:56:31.72\00:56:34.39
shall be stubble. That day
shall come shall burn them up
00:56:34.59\00:56:37.23
saith the Lord of Hosts that
it shall leave them neither root
00:56:37.43\00:56:39.93
nor branch. " Isn't that?
Do we know how final that is?
00:56:40.13\00:56:43.50
The day's going to come. Here's
going to be in this world...
00:56:44.50\00:56:46.30
It's just like it was
the time of the flood.
00:56:46.50\00:56:48.40
When the flood was
there the world seemed to be
00:56:48.60\00:56:49.94
one great big...
just water all over.
00:56:50.11\00:56:51.87
One big ball of water.
00:56:52.07\00:56:53.41
It's going to be that way
one of these days with fire
00:56:53.54\00:56:55.28
that Peter talks about.
00:56:55.48\00:56:56.81
On fire. It's going
to purify, but you know
00:56:57.18\00:56:59.05
God's going to make
sure that that New Jerusalem
00:56:59.25\00:57:01.75
and the saints that are
in it are protected from that
00:57:01.95\00:57:03.79
great big ball of fire
that purifies the earth.
00:57:03.99\00:57:07.66
How wonderful that is.
00:57:07.82\00:57:09.42
Cleansing of the wicked.
00:57:09.82\00:57:11.16
We talk about the
cleansing flames I mean.
00:57:11.19\00:57:12.93
Destroys the
wicked and the world:
00:57:13.13\00:57:14.73
"neither root
nor branch" it says.
00:57:14.93\00:57:16.83
Now the full penalty of
the law has been reached.
00:57:17.03\00:57:20.27
The demand of
justice has been met.
00:57:20.47\00:57:22.10
God is declared righteous.

May God help each
and every one. You choose
00:57:24.31\00:57:26.37
which resurrection
you're going to come up in.
00:57:26.57\00:57:28.74
Shall we pray together?
