BY PASTOR DOUG
BATCHELOR. >>GOOD MORNING.
00:05:54.05\00:05:58.29
>>GOOD MORNING.
>>THANK YOU, PASTOR ROSS.
00:05:58.29\00:06:00.99
HOW IS EVERYBODY?
WE'RE GLAD TO BE HOME.
00:06:00.99\00:06:05.89
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED
THAT WE'VE BEEN GONE FOR A
00:06:05.89\00:06:08.13
COUPLE OF WEEKS. SOME
OF YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T
00:06:08.13\00:06:10.37
NOTICE. AND WE
WERE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
00:06:10.37\00:06:15.30
MATTER OF FACT, I THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO MAYBE
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.84
MAKE A LITTLE MISSION
REPORT AND TELL OUR FRIENDS.
00:06:18.84\00:06:21.91
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR SABBATH
SCHOOL CLASS - THOSE WHO ARE
00:06:21.91\00:06:24.85
PART OF THE GRANITE BAY ONLINE
MEMBERSHIP AND THE OTHERS AT
00:06:24.85\00:06:28.18
LARGE AROUND THE
WORLD THAT ARE WATCHING.
00:06:28.18\00:06:30.22
AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE
SOME FRIENDS THAT ARE IN AFRICA
00:06:30.22\00:06:32.69
WATCHING, BECAUSE WE MET THEM
AND THEY SAID THEY WATCH EVERY
00:06:32.69\00:06:35.52
WEEK. IT WORKS WELL
FOR THEM WITH THE TIME.
00:06:35.52\00:06:37.36
THEY CAN DO IT IN THE AFTERNOON.
00:06:37.36\00:06:38.83
AND I'LL JUST GIVE
YOU A QUICK LITTLE REPORT.
00:06:38.83\00:06:41.73
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE MEMBERS
HERE, YOU REALIZE THAT PASTOR
00:06:41.73\00:06:46.00
ROSS HAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN
ACCENT AND THAT'S BECAUSE HE
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.64
HAILS FROM CAPE
TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA.
00:06:49.64\00:06:52.01
I GOT TO GO BY AND SEE WHERE HE
WENT TO SCHOOL AND EVERYTHING.
00:06:52.01\00:06:54.68
I THOUGHT HE HAD AN ACCENT UNTIL
I WENT THERE WITH HIM AND I
00:06:54.68\00:06:58.48
REALIZED HE'S REALLY
LOST MOST OF HIS ACCENT.
00:06:58.48\00:07:00.65
(LAUGHTER) BUT WE WENT TO THE
MAJOR CITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA IN
00:07:00.65\00:07:06.35
THAT, OH, TWELVE, FOURTEEN DAYS
WE WERE GONE - BEING CAPE TOWN,
00:07:06.35\00:07:10.66
DURBAN, JOHANNESBURG, AND
PRETORIA - AND AT THOSE PLACES
00:07:10.66\00:07:16.80
WE WERE DOING EVANGELISM
TRAINING WITH OUR AFCOE GROUP
00:07:16.80\00:07:20.27
AND THEN WE WOULD DO REVIVAL
MEETINGS - A SERIES CALLED KEYS
00:07:20.27\00:07:24.84
TO THE KINGDOM . AND
SO, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT,
00:07:24.84\00:07:29.38
SOUTH AFRICA IS A LONG
WAY FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:07:29.38\00:07:33.31
I'VE BEEN THERE - THIS IS
MY SECOND TIME - AND OF ALL THE
00:07:33.31\00:07:36.32
PLACES IN THE WORLD THAT I'VE
FLOWN - AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW,
00:07:36.32\00:07:39.49
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, NEW
GUINEA, INDIA - ALL, YOU KNOW,
00:07:39.49\00:07:44.16
FAR REMOTE CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
THE LONGEST PLANE RIDE I'VE EVER
00:07:44.16\00:07:47.76
BEEN ON IS THE ONE WHERE I'M
COMING HOME FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
00:07:47.76\00:07:51.10
I WAS GLAD KAREN WAS ABLE TO
JOIN ME ON THIS TRIP AND RUTH
00:07:51.10\00:07:53.94
WAS ABLE TO GO WITH PASTOR ROSS,
SO WE DID HAVE A LITTLE FUN -
00:07:53.94\00:07:57.91
I HOPE THAT'S OKAY.
00:07:57.91\00:07:59.14
BUT IT WAS MISSION WORK AND SO -
GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, WE'LL
00:07:59.14\00:08:05.21
JUST SHOW YOU SOME
OF THE THINGS WE DID.
00:08:05.21\00:08:06.65
IN CAPE TOWN, AFTER DOING SOME
EVANGELISM TRAINING THERE, WE
00:08:06.65\00:08:10.62
WERE THERE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
GRADUATION OF AN AFCOE CLASS.
00:08:10.62\00:08:14.72
THEY BROUGHT THE
AREA CHURCHES TOGETHER.
00:08:14.72\00:08:16.76
THEY HAD NO ONE CHURCH LARGE
ENOUGH AND SO THEY ACTUALLY
00:08:16.76\00:08:19.49
RENTED, I THINK ONE OF THE
LARGEST, IF NOT THE LARGEST,
00:08:19.49\00:08:22.60
CHARISMATIC CHURCH CALLED THE
LIGHTHOUSE IN TOWN AND THE LORD
00:08:22.60\00:08:25.93
BLESSED. THE PLACE
WAS FILLED TO OVERFLOWING.
00:08:25.93\00:08:29.10
THERE WERE ABOUT 4,000 PEOPLE
CAME OUT TO THE PROGRAM AND MANY
00:08:29.10\00:08:33.81
WERE NOT MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH,
BUT THEY HAD BEEN WATCHING THE
00:08:33.81\00:08:38.25
AMAZING FACTS PROGRAMS OR
STUDYING ONLINE AND THEY HEARD
00:08:38.25\00:08:43.95
ABOUT THE
MEETINGS AND THEY CAME OUT.
00:08:43.95\00:08:45.62
SOMETHING ELSE INTERESTING WHILE
WE WERE THERE: WE WENT FROM
00:08:45.62\00:08:48.49
CAPE TOWN THEN TO DURBIN AND
- WHERE WE DID SOME EVANGELISM
00:08:48.49\00:08:52.19
TRAINING. THAT'S
MORE - IT'S UP ON THE
00:08:52.19\00:08:55.16
INDIAN OCEAN
SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.
00:08:55.16\00:08:56.93
THERE WAS A CHRISTIAN COUPLE
THERE AND THEY LEARNED THE
00:08:56.93\00:09:00.40
SABBATH TRUTH. AND
THEY OPERATED A RECREATION
00:09:00.40\00:09:04.34
RESORT WHERE THEY'VE GOT
SOME NICE WHOLESOME THINGS LIKE
00:09:04.34\00:09:06.71
ZIP LINING AND THEY TEACH SCUBA
DIVING - AND WHEN THEY REALIZED
00:09:06.71\00:09:10.45
ABOUT THE SABBATH TRUTH THEY
SAID, 'THAT'S OUR BUSIEST DAY.
00:09:10.45\00:09:13.82
WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN TO OUR BUSINESS?'
00:09:13.82\00:09:15.42
THEY SAID, 'WELL,
IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:09:15.42\00:09:16.69
WE WANT TO KEEP THE SABBATH.'
AND SO THEY DECIDED TO CLOSE ON
00:09:16.69\00:09:19.42
SABBATH. YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS
WHAT'S ON THEIR GATE COMING INTO
00:09:19.42\00:09:22.39
THEIR ESTABLISHMENT.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
00:09:22.39\00:09:26.33
THE LORD BLESSED AND THEIR
BUSINESS, OVER THE NEXT THREE OR
00:09:26.33\00:09:28.80
FOUR YEARS, WENT UP
LIKE FIFTEEN PERCENT A YEAR.
00:09:28.80\00:09:32.13
AND GOD JUST BLESSED - BUT
THEY'RE CLOSED EVERY SABBATH.
00:09:32.13\00:09:36.10
THEY DONATED THEIR
PLACE FOR US TO USE.
00:09:36.10\00:09:39.37
THE OWNER WAS ACTUALLY AN AFCOE
GRADUATE NOW AND THEY DONATED
00:09:39.37\00:09:42.88
THE PLACE FOR US TO USE TO TEACH
AN AFCOE CLASS THERE IN DURBAN.
00:09:42.88\00:09:46.55
AND SO, AND THIS IS SOME OF
THE - THEY HAVE KIND OF AN OPEN
00:09:46.55\00:09:50.02
AREA. WE HAD 70 STUDENTS THERE
AND I THINK CHUCK HOLTRY IS
00:09:50.02\00:09:54.29
TEACHING AND THERE'S CARISSA
MCSHERRY TEACHING SOME CLASSES.
00:09:54.29\00:09:57.83
PASTOR ROSS AND I ALSO
WERE TEACHING SOME CLASSES.
00:09:57.83\00:10:00.70
THE NEAT THING ABOUT THESE
CLASSES - IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING
00:10:00.70\00:10:03.30
ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA, THEY HAVE
VERY SERIOUS RACIAL PROBLEMS.
00:10:03.30\00:10:08.24
AND IF YOU THINK THERE'S RACIAL
PROBLEMS IN NORTH AMERICA,
00:10:08.24\00:10:11.71
YOU NEED TO GO
VISIT SOUTH AFRICA.
00:10:11.71\00:10:14.38
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE STILL NOT
COMPLETELY RECOVERED FROM THE
00:10:14.38\00:10:17.98
APARTHEID ERA - AND THAT'S,
I THINK, A DUTCH WORD MEANING
00:10:17.98\00:10:21.55
'APART', AND THEY BASICALLY HAD
DIFFERENT RACES THAT COULD AND
00:10:21.55\00:10:25.75
COULDN'T VOTE. IT
WAS PRETTY SERIOUS.
00:10:25.75\00:10:27.82
BUT, AT THE CLASS, AND IN THESE
ASSEMBLIES WE HAD, PEOPLE - AND
00:10:27.82\00:10:32.29
THEY DIVIDE THEIR RACES
IN REALLY THREE GROUPS THERE.
00:10:32.29\00:10:34.46
THEY'VE GOT THE WHITE, THE
COLORED, AND THEN THE BLACK.
00:10:34.46\00:10:37.33
THE COLORED COULD BE ANYTHING
FROM INDIAN TO FILIPINO AND
00:10:37.33\00:10:41.90
THERE'S A LOT OF SEGREGATION
THAT STILL GOES ON TODAY AMONG
00:10:41.90\00:10:46.47
THOSE THREE GROUPS. BUT
IT WAS WONDERFUL THAT WHEN
00:10:46.47\00:10:49.28
WE HAD OUR EVANGELISM TRAINING,
WHEN WE HAD OUR RALLIES, THE
00:10:49.28\00:10:51.91
PASTOR SAID, 'WE'VE NEVER SEEN
IT LIKE THIS. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
00:10:51.91\00:10:54.85
CO-MINGLING OF ALL THE PEOPLE
IN THE COUNTRY COMING TOGETHER.'
00:10:54.85\00:10:58.29
AND SO, THAT'S SOMETHING
WE'RE VERY THANKFUL FOR.
00:10:58.29\00:11:00.46
AND WE HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE IN
OUR CLASS AND THEY - THEY SAID,
00:11:00.46\00:11:03.73
'I HAVE NEVER SAT DOWN NEXT TO
A WHITE PERSON IN MY LIFE.' 'I
00:11:03.73\00:11:07.76
HAVE NEVER SAT DOWN NEXT TO
A BLACK PERSON IN MY LIFE.' AND
00:11:07.76\00:11:10.60
YET THEY CAME TOGETHER
FOR THE EVANGELISM TRAINING.
00:11:10.60\00:11:13.07
THERE WAS A
WONDERFUL SPIRIT THERE.
00:11:13.07\00:11:14.54
NEXT SLIDE. AND THEN
- JUST - I'D NEVER BEEN
00:11:14.54\00:11:18.41
TO HEALDBERG COLLEGE
- DID I SAY THAT RIGHT?
00:11:18.41\00:11:21.24
HELDERBERG COLLEGE - AND WE HAD
A GOOD PROGRAM THERE AND THEY
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.65
SHOWED US THE CAMPUS
AND INVITED US BACK AGAIN.
00:11:24.65\00:11:26.68
NEXT SLIDE. OH,
AND WE DID SOME AMAZING
00:11:26.68\00:11:30.22
FACTS VIDEOTAPING
WHILE WE WERE THERE.
00:11:30.22\00:11:32.49
SOME OF OUR CREW FLEW OUT AND
TAPED SOME OF THE PROGRAMS AND
00:11:32.49\00:11:36.46
ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID
IS WE WENT TO A LION PARK
00:11:36.46\00:11:39.13
AND WE DID AN
AMAZING FACT ABOUT LIONS.
00:11:39.13\00:11:41.43
AND THIS IS THE SIGN
THAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU GO IN.
00:11:41.43\00:11:44.43
AND WHILE WE WERE TAPING THERE,
THEY LET ME PET THESE LIONS,
00:11:44.43\00:11:47.40
THEY'RE LIKE THREE MONTHS OLD
AND, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY ARE
00:11:47.40\00:11:51.31
PRETTY ROWDY AND WHILE -
YOU SEE, THERE'S ONE LION THAT'S
00:11:51.31\00:11:57.01
BEHIND JARED THERE, HOLDING THE
MICROPHONE, THE MICROPHONE IS A
00:11:57.01\00:12:01.32
BIG FURRY THING AND THE LIONS
BECAME VERY INTERESTED IN THAT.
00:12:01.32\00:12:05.62
THEY HAD TO TAKE THE FUR OFF THE
MICROPHONE - IT'S A WINDSCREEN -
00:12:05.62\00:12:09.32
AND ONE OF THOSE
LIONS ATTACKED KAREN.
00:12:09.32\00:12:12.23
NOW, ATTACKED MIGHT BE
AN OVERSTATEMENT BUT HE WAS
00:12:12.23\00:12:14.30
PROBABLY BEING PLAYFUL, BUT
HE SCRATCHED AND HE BIT HER.
00:12:14.30\00:12:17.03
AND I REALLY WANTED TO PUT
ON FACEBOOK: MRS. BATCHELOR
00:12:17.03\00:12:20.20
ATTACKED BY LION IN AFRICA,
BUT SHE WOULDN'T LET ME DO IT.
00:12:20.20\00:12:24.17
I THOUGHT THAT WOULD REALLY HAVE
GONE FAR - HEADLINES LIKE THAT,
00:12:24.17\00:12:26.41
YOU KNOW? (LAUGHTER)
BUT YEAH, SHE DID, SHE GOT
00:12:26.41\00:12:30.88
SCRATCHED AND BRUISED.
AND SO WE TAPED SOME - THEN WE
00:12:30.88\00:12:35.08
WENT - OUR LAST SABBATH - WE
DID SOME OTHER - YOU KNOW, WE'RE
00:12:35.08\00:12:38.22
JUST MAKING IT VERY SHORT,
TO JUST GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW.
00:12:38.22\00:12:41.02
THE LAST SABBATH WE WENT TO THE
LARGEST ADVENTIST ARENA IN THE
00:12:41.02\00:12:44.83
COUNTRY, WHICH WAS AT SEDAVIN,
OUTSIDE OF JOHANNESBURG.
00:12:44.83\00:12:49.23
AND, AGAIN, OVER
4,000 PEOPLE CAME.
00:12:49.23\00:12:51.73
IT WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY PACKED.
00:12:51.73\00:12:53.27
A LOT OF FOLKS
THERE WATCH THE PROGRAMS.
00:12:53.27\00:12:56.04
THEY'RE MEMBERS OF OUR SABBATH
SCHOOL CLASS AND SO, I TELL YOU
00:12:56.04\00:12:58.61
WHAT: I WANT YOU TO
WAVE AT THEM RIGHT NOW.
00:12:58.61\00:13:00.91
I TOLD THEM, 'WHEN WE GET HOME
WE'LL WAVE AT YOU.' SO, OKAY, WE
00:13:00.91\00:13:03.98
KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING
THERE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
00:13:03.98\00:13:05.81
GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU
FOR BEING PART OF OUR CLASS.
00:13:05.81\00:13:09.02
SO - AND THAT'S JUST ONE MORE
PICTURE OF THE SAME SABBATH.
00:13:09.02\00:13:11.69
WE HAD GREAT MEETINGS -
AND THEY STAYED ALL DAY LONG.
00:13:11.69\00:13:14.52
AFTER CHURCH - WE THOUGHT THEY'D
GO HOME AFTER LUNCH, BUT THEY
00:13:14.52\00:13:17.13
CAME BACK AGAIN. AND,
AGAIN, IT WAS A WONDERFUL
00:13:17.13\00:13:19.76
CO-MINGLING OF THE PEOPLE
FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY - CAME
00:13:19.76\00:13:22.13
TOGETHER BECAUSE OF
THE WORD OF GOD AND JESUS.
00:13:22.13\00:13:24.93
ALRIGHT, WE WANT TO TURN
OUR ATTENTION TO OUR LESSON.
00:13:24.93\00:13:28.64
WE ARE DEALING, TODAY, WITH THE
LAST LESSON IN OUR QUARTERLY.
00:13:28.64\00:13:31.84
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
REBELLION AND REDEMPTION AND THE
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.74
LESSON TODAY IS ON REDEMPTION.
BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, IT
00:13:34.74\00:13:38.05
OBVIOUSLY STANDS TO
REASON WE ARE STARTING WITH OUR
00:13:38.05\00:13:40.88
NEW QUARTERLY'S
LESSON. I'M REALLY LOOKING
00:13:40.88\00:13:42.68
FORWARD TO THIS.
IT'S THE BOOK OF MATTHEW.
00:13:42.68\00:13:45.39
WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH
THE BOOK OF MATTHEW IN THIRTEEN
00:13:45.39\00:13:48.29
LESSONS AND, FOLLOWING OUR CLASS
HERE, THOSE WHO ARE REGULAR,
00:13:48.29\00:13:52.06

WE ARE THREE WEEKS AHEAD OF

00:13:57.90\00:14:01.30
BECAUSE OF THE RECORDING,
AND I'M SURE YOU'LL HAVE THOSE
00:14:01.30\00:14:03.54
AVAILABLE FOR YOU AT
YOUR CHURCH. TO OUR LESSON.
00:14:03.54\00:14:06.98
AND NOW, WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE
AND THE MEMORY VERSE COMES TO US
00:14:06.98\00:14:10.08
FROM REVELATION 21, VERSE 4 -
I THINK MOST OF US PROBABLY KNOW
00:14:10.08\00:14:15.55
THIS BY HEART, BUT WHY
DON'T YOU SAY IT WITH ME?
00:14:15.55\00:14:17.62
REVELATION 21,
VERSE 4. YOU READY?
00:14:17.62\00:14:20.42
"AND GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY
TEAR FROM THEIR EYES; THERE
00:14:20.42\00:14:25.79
SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR
SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL
00:14:25.79\00:14:30.83
BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE
FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY."
00:14:30.83\00:14:36.00
WE ARE ALL LOOKING
FORWARD TO THAT DAY, AMEN?
00:14:36.00\00:14:39.97
WE'RE GOING TO BE DEALING,
IN PARTICULAR NOW, IN THIS LAST
00:14:39.97\00:14:43.04
LESSON, WITH THE LAST
THREE CHAPTERS IN REVELATION.
00:14:43.04\00:14:47.52
TALKING ABOUT REVELATION
CHAPTERS 20, 21, AND 22.
00:14:47.52\00:14:51.79
AND SO TURN WITH ME IN YOUR
BIBLE TO REVELATION CHAPTER 20
00:14:51.79\00:14:54.79
AND THIS IS A CHAPTER THAT
DEALS, TO A LARGE EXTENT, WITH
00:14:54.79\00:15:00.63
SOMETHING WE CALL THE
MILLENNIUM, OR THE THOUSAND
00:15:00.63\00:15:03.10
YEARS. NOW, THE WORD MILLENNIUM
DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE BIBLE.
00:15:03.10\00:15:06.40
MILLENNIUM IS A COMPOSITE OF
TWO LATIN WORDS MILLE AND ANNUM
00:15:06.40\00:15:10.37
- SIMPLY MEANS
'A THOUSAND YEARS'.
00:15:10.37\00:15:12.21
AND SO THE TEACHING OF THE
MILLENNIUM IS IN THE BIBLE.
00:15:12.21\00:15:15.28
AND LET'S GO AHEAD AND
READ THE FIRST FEW VERSES HERE.
00:15:15.28\00:15:18.05
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT THE BINDING OF SATAN.
00:15:18.05\00:15:21.08
"THEN I SAW AN ANGEL" -
REVELATION 20:1 - "THEN I SAW AN
00:15:21.08\00:15:24.55
ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
HAVING THE KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS
00:15:24.55\00:15:27.99
PIT AND A GREAT
CHAIN IN HIS HAND.
00:15:27.99\00:15:31.26
HE LAID HOLD OF THE DRAGON, THAT
SERPENT OF OLD, WHO IS THE DEVIL
00:15:31.26\00:15:34.86
AND SATAN," - NOW I
JUST WANT TO PAUSE HERE.
00:15:34.86\00:15:36.50
WHEN PEOPLE SAY 'SERPENT' IN THE
BIBLE, WE SAY, 'THAT'S A SYMBOL
00:15:36.50\00:15:39.87
FOR THE DEVIL.' DO WE
HAVE BIBLICAL SUPPORT THAT
00:15:39.87\00:15:42.07
THE SERPENT
REPRESENTS THE DEVIL?
00:15:42.07\00:15:44.24
HERE'S ONE VERSE THAT ALSO
SAYS THIS IN REVELATION 12, THE
00:15:44.24\00:15:47.84
DEVIL, SATAN, SERPENT, DRAGON -
IT'S ALL ONE - "THE DRAGON, THAT
00:15:47.84\00:15:54.25
SERPENT OF OLD, WHO IS THE DEVIL
AND SATAN, AND BOUND HIM FOR
00:15:54.25\00:15:57.42
A THOUSAND YEARS; AND HE CAST
HIM INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, AND
00:15:57.42\00:16:03.46
SHUT HIM UP, AND SET A SEAL ON
HIM, SO THAT HE SHOULD DECEIVE
00:16:03.46\00:16:06.83
THE NATIONS NO MORE TILL THE
THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED.
00:16:06.83\00:16:10.90
BUT AFTER THESE THINGS HE MUST
BE RELEASED FOR A LITTLE WHILE."
00:16:10.90\00:16:14.24
AND WE'LL GET TO THAT.
00:16:14.24\00:16:15.20
FIRST, LET'S TALK
ABOUT THE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:16:15.20\00:16:18.61
A NUMBER OF BIBLE THEOLOGIANS
AND SCHOLARS, OVER TIME - MARTIN
00:16:18.61\00:16:24.31
LUTHER BEING ONE OF THEM - HAVE
BELIEVED THAT HISTORY WOULD BE
00:16:24.31\00:16:28.92
SUMMARIZED IN A 7,000-YEAR
SECTION. THAT, IF YOU GO BACK TO
00:16:28.92\00:16:34.89
THE TIME OF CREATION AND YOU ADD
UP THE AGES IN THE BIBLE, THE
00:16:34.89\00:16:39.03
BIRTH OR CREATION OF ADAM
WAS SOME TIME AROUND 4,000 B.C.
00:16:39.03\00:16:43.67
NOW, NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY
- AMAZING FACTS DEVELOPED A
00:16:43.67\00:16:46.47
TIMELINE A FEW YEARS AGO, WHERE
WE WENT TO THE BEST SCHOLARS IN
00:16:46.47\00:16:49.57
OUR CHURCH AND THE BIBLE
RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND TRIED TO
00:16:49.57\00:16:52.44
GET THE DATES AS
CLOSE AS WE COULD.
00:16:52.44\00:16:54.11
AND WE PUT QUESTION MARKS THERE
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE EXACT, BUT
00:16:54.11\00:16:57.48
APPROXIMATELY 4,000 B.C.
NOW WE'RE LIVING IN 2016.
00:16:57.48\00:17:03.99
THAT COMES TO ABOUT 6,000 YEARS
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO LIVE AND
00:17:03.99\00:17:09.59
REIGN WITH CHRIST FOR
ONE THOUSAND YEARS - LIKE A
00:17:09.59\00:17:12.13
THOUSAND-YEAR SABBATH.
GOD OFTEN WORKS ON A PRINCIPLE
00:17:12.13\00:17:15.26
OF SIX DAYS YOU WORK, ONE DAY
YOU REST - 'A DAY WITH THE LORD
00:17:15.26\00:17:17.87
IS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS;
A THOUSAND YEARS LIKE A DAY'.
00:17:17.87\00:17:21.90
G. EDWARD REID WROTE A GOOD BOOK
CALLED EVEN AT THE DOOR , WHERE
00:17:21.90\00:17:26.57
HE TALKS ABOUT THIS THEORY AND
HE GIVES A LOT OF SCRIPTURE FOR
00:17:26.57\00:17:30.11
IT, AND I THINK THERE'S
SOMETHING TO IT. I DON'T THINK
00:17:30.11\00:17:32.65
IT'S GOING TO BE MUCH
LONGER BEFORE THE LORD COMES.
00:17:32.65\00:17:35.18
AND WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN, AND
WE GO INTO THE EARTH MADE NEW,
00:17:35.18\00:17:38.82
WE'LL LOOK BACK AND SEE THAT
GOD, SORT OF, WRAPPED IT ALL UP
00:17:38.82\00:17:41.06
IN A 7,000-YEAR CYCLE - SIX DAYS
SOWING THE SEED OF THE GOSPEL,
00:17:41.06\00:17:45.69
ONE DAY RESTING - A DAY WITH
THE LORD LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS.
00:17:45.69\00:17:49.76
BY THE WAY, PETER, WHEN HE SAYS
THAT IN 2 PETER CHAPTER 3, HE'S
00:17:49.76\00:17:52.77
QUOTING PSALM 84, PSALM 91,
SIMILAR VERSES THAT TALK ABOUT
00:17:52.77\00:17:57.17
THAT. SO SATAN IS
BOUND FOR A THOUSAND
00:17:57.17\00:18:00.34
YEARS AND WHAT DOES IT
MEAN, 'THE BINDING OF SATAN'?
00:18:00.34\00:18:05.75
I WANT TO READ MARK
3, VERSES 26 AND 27.
00:18:05.75\00:18:10.52
JESUS SAYS, "AND IF SATAN HAS
RISEN UP AGAINST HIMSELF, AND IS
00:18:10.52\00:18:16.06
DIVIDED, HE CANNOT
STAND, BUT HAS AN END.
00:18:16.06\00:18:18.86
NO ONE CAN ENTER A STRONG MAN'S
HOUSE AND PLUNDER HIS GOODS,
00:18:18.86\00:18:23.06
UNLESS HE FIRST
BINDS THE STRONG MAN.
00:18:23.06\00:18:25.97
AND THEN HE WILL PLUNDER
HIS HOUSE." SATAN HAS HAD PEOPLE
00:18:25.97\00:18:29.37
THAT ARE IN HIS HOUSE
OF BONDAGE FOR MANY YEARS.
00:18:29.37\00:18:34.91
BY THE WAY, WHEN JESUS
COMES IT'S A TIME OF JUBILEE.
00:18:34.91\00:18:37.45
YOU COULD HAVE A HEBREW SERVANT
FOR SIX YEARS - AT THE END, THEY
00:18:37.45\00:18:40.42
WENT FREE.
YOU'LL FIND A NUMBER OF
00:18:40.42\00:18:42.28
SCENARIOS LIKE
THAT IN THE BIBLE.
00:18:42.28\00:18:44.62
YOU'VE GOT TO BIND THE STRONG
MAN BEFORE YOU CAN PLUNDER HIS
00:18:44.62\00:18:48.49
HOUSE. AND IT
TELLS YOU, RIGHT THERE IN
00:18:48.49\00:18:51.26
THAT VERSE, ABOUT SATAN RISEN UP
AGAINST HIMSELF, IMPLYING THERE
00:18:51.26\00:18:54.63
WOULD BE A TIME WHEN SATAN
WOULD BE BOUND AND THE CAPTIVES
00:18:54.63\00:18:57.17
WOULD BE SET FREE.
YOU CAN ALSO READ WHERE
00:18:57.17\00:19:00.54
SATAN DOES BINDING. A
LOT OF TIMES SATAN TRIED TO
00:19:00.54\00:19:03.91
BIND GOD'S PEOPLE AND BIND
THE TRUTH. LUKE 13:15, "THE LORD
00:19:03.91\00:19:09.64
THEN ANSWERED HIM
AND SAID, 'HYPOCRITE!
00:19:09.64\00:19:11.91
DOES NOT EACH ONE OF YOU ON THE
SABBATH LOOSE HIS OX OR DONKEY
00:19:11.91\00:19:15.42
FROM THE STALL, AND
LEAD IT AWAY TO WATER IT?
00:19:15.42\00:19:18.62
SO OUGHT NOT THIS WOMAN, BEING A
DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM, WHOM SATAN
00:19:18.62\00:19:21.86
HAS BOUND - THINK OF IT - FOR
EIGHTEEN YEARS, BE LOOSED FROM
00:19:21.86\00:19:25.86
THIS BOND ON THE
SABBATH?'" SHE HAD BEEN BOUND
00:19:25.86\00:19:28.33
WITH AN
AFFLICTION. SHE WAS BENT OVER.
00:19:28.33\00:19:30.87
SO JESUS SAYS THE DEVIL IS
SEEKING TO BIND GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:19:30.87\00:19:34.37
HE BINDS THEM WITH SICKNESS
AND HE BINDS THEM LITERALLY.
00:19:34.37\00:19:37.01
BY THE WAY, THE DEVIL TRIED
TO BIND GOD'S MESSENGERS SO HE
00:19:37.01\00:19:41.74
COULD BIND THE TRUTH. HE
WANTED TO BIND THE WORD OF
00:19:41.74\00:19:46.15
GOD TO PREVENT
IT FROM GOING FORTH.
00:19:46.15\00:19:48.58
YOU CAN READ AT THE END OF ACTS
CHAPTER 12, THE DEVIL STARTS OUT
00:19:48.58\00:19:51.89
TRYING TO BIND
PETER. JAMES IS KILLED.
00:19:51.89\00:19:55.99
BUT AT THE END OF CHAPTER 12 IT
SAYS, 'THE WORD OF GOD GREW AND
00:19:55.99\00:19:58.39
MULTIPLIED.' HERE'S ANOTHER
EXAMPLE, ACTS 21:33, "THEN THE
00:19:58.39\00:20:03.53
COMMANDER CAME NEAR AND TOOK
HIM," - PAUL - "AND COMMANDED
00:20:03.53\00:20:06.60
HIM TO BE BOUND WITH TWO
CHAINS;" - THERE YOU HAVE IT
00:20:06.60\00:20:08.80
AGAIN - ONE ON THE
RIGHT AND ONE ON THE LEFT.
00:20:08.80\00:20:11.17
BUT YOU READ WHERE PAUL RESPONDS
IN 2 TIMOTHY 2:9, "FOR WHICH I
00:20:11.17\00:20:16.34
SUFFER TROUBLE AS AN EVILDOER,
EVEN TO THE POINT OF CHAINS; BUT
00:20:16.34\00:20:20.38
THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT CHAINED."
WHEN THE DEVIL TRIED TO BIND THE
00:20:20.38\00:20:24.02
WORD OF GOD BY BINDING
PAUL, WHAT WAS THE RESULT?
00:20:24.02\00:20:28.66
PAUL DID MORE WRITING IN
JAIL THAN HE DID ANY OTHER TIME.
00:20:28.66\00:20:32.06
SOMEONE SAID THAT HALF OF
PAUL'S LETTERS WERE WRITTEN FROM
00:20:32.06\00:20:34.20
PRISON. AND SO,
DID THE DEVIL SUCCEED
00:20:34.20\00:20:36.80
IN BINDING THE WORD OF GOD?
NO, BUT THE DEVIL IS GOING TO BE
00:20:36.80\00:20:40.14
BOUND AND LET'S TALK
ABOUT HIS INFLUENCE BEING BOUND.
00:20:40.14\00:20:43.54
IF YOU READ IN JUDE 6 IT SAYS,
"THE ANGELS" - THERE'S ONLY ONE
00:20:43.54\00:20:49.61
VERSE - ONE CHAPTER IN JUDE -
JUDE 6 - "AND THE ANGELS WHO DID
00:20:49.61\00:20:53.25
NOT KEEP THEIR PROPER DOMAIN,
BUT LEFT THEIR OWN ABODE, HE HAS
00:20:53.25\00:20:57.95
RESERVED IN EVERLASTING CHAINS
UNDER DARKNESS FOR THE JUDGMENT
00:20:57.95\00:21:01.69
OF THE GREAT DAY;" - AGAIN, THEY
ARE BOUND IN CHAINS, WAITING FOR
00:21:01.69\00:21:06.39
JUDGMENT. NOW, WE
ARE GOING TO FIND OUT
00:21:06.39\00:21:08.33
MORE ABOUT WHERE THEY'RE BOUND.
LET ME JUST TELL YOU, WHEN YOU
00:21:08.33\00:21:11.57
TALK ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM, THERE
ARE ABOUT FIVE OR SIX DIFFERENT
00:21:11.57\00:21:15.60
VIEWS. I WAS
REVIEWING THE VIEWS LAST NIGHT.
00:21:15.60\00:21:18.41
YOU'VE GOT POST-MILLENNIALISTS,
PRE-MILLENNIALISTS, AND
00:21:18.41\00:21:21.41
AMILLENNIALISTS AND ALL
THESE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THE
00:21:21.41\00:21:25.65
MILLENNIUM.
THERE'S LIKE FIVE OR SIX
00:21:25.65\00:21:27.85
DIFFERENT VIEWS - AND THE VIEW
OF SOME CHURCHES IS 'DON'T READ
00:21:27.85\00:21:30.32
REVELATION, IT'LL
CONFUSE YOU.' THAT'S THEIR VIEW.
00:21:30.32\00:21:34.69
PEOPLE WONDER
WHERE DO YOU PUT THIS?
00:21:34.69\00:21:36.49
NOW EVERYONE AGREES THERE'S A
PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WE LIVE AND
00:21:36.49\00:21:39.09
REIGN WITH CHRIST.
FOLKS ARE WONDERING, 'WHAT IS
00:21:39.09\00:21:42.26
THIS BOTTOMLESS PIT
WHERE SATAN IS BOUND?
00:21:42.26\00:21:45.83
AND 'WHERE DO WE LIVE
AND REIGN WITH CHRIST?
00:21:45.83\00:21:48.37
IS IT ON EARTH? IS IT IN HEAVEN?
00:21:48.37\00:21:50.21
IS IT BEFORE THE SECOND COMING?
IS IT AFTER THE RAPTURE?'
00:21:50.21\00:21:54.31
AND THEY DIVIDE IT UP IN
THOSE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS.
00:21:54.31\00:21:57.11
FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT
WHAT IS THE BOTTOMLESS PIT?
00:21:57.11\00:21:59.85
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN
SOMEONE SAYS 'BOTTOMLESS PIT'?
00:21:59.85\00:22:04.25
SOME WOULD THINK, 'MAYBE IT'S A
WORMHOLE IN SPACE WHERE SATAN IS
00:22:04.25\00:22:06.72
BOUND.' NO, THE - THAT WORD THAT
IS TRANSLATED 'BOTTOMLESS PIT'
00:22:06.72\00:22:12.96
IS AN UNFORTUNATE TRANSLATION.
THE KING JAMES TRANSLATORS,
00:22:12.96\00:22:16.53
WHEN THEY GOT TO THE END OF THE
BIBLE, WANTED TO BE CREATIVE.
00:22:16.53\00:22:19.03
THE WORD IS ABUSSOS AND YOU FIND
THAT WORD OTHER PLACES IN THE
00:22:19.03\00:22:22.97
NEW TESTAMENT. I'LL
GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
00:22:22.97\00:22:24.97
IF YOU LOOK IN LUKE 8:30 -
REMEMBER THE DEMON-POSSESSED MAN
00:22:24.97\00:22:28.98
- HE'S GOT A LEGION
OF DEMONS AND THE DEMONS
00:22:28.98\00:22:31.95
START TO TALK TO JESUS AND THEY
SAY, 'DON'T CAST US INTO THE
00:22:31.95\00:22:35.05
ABUSSOS' - THE DEEP - THE
NOTHINGNESS - 'PUT US INTO THE
00:22:35.05\00:22:38.65
HERD OF SWINE.' SO CHRIST
WAS PREPARING TO CAST THEM OUT.
00:22:38.65\00:22:44.59
AND WHEN HE WAS GOING TO
CAST THEM OUT OF THE MAN,
00:22:44.59\00:22:46.66
THEY HAD NOBODY TO
POSSESS OR MANIPULATE.
00:22:46.66\00:22:48.83
THAT WAS CALLED THE
ABUSSOS - THE NOTHINGNESS.
00:22:48.83\00:22:52.50
NOW - AND YOU CAN READ THAT -
JESUS SAID, 'WHAT IS YOUR NAME?
00:22:52.50\00:22:56.20
THEY SAID, 'LEGION' BECAUSE MANY
DEMONS HAD ENTERED HIM AND THEY
00:22:56.20\00:23:00.34
BEGGED HIM HE WOULD NOT COMMAND
THEM TO GO OUT INTO THE ABYSS.
00:23:00.34\00:23:04.58
SAME EXACT WORD AS REVELATION 20
- ABUSSOS - WHY THEY DIDN'T SAY
00:23:04.58\00:23:09.78
'BOTTOMLESS PIT' THERE, OR WHY
THEY SAID 'BOTTOMLESS PIT' IN
00:23:09.78\00:23:12.72
REVELATION 20, ALL THE
TRANSLATORS HAVE PASSED AWAY,
00:23:12.72\00:23:17.03
WHO KNOWS? BUT IT'S
TALKING ABOUT THE EARTH.
00:23:17.03\00:23:21.30
NOW LET ME GIVE YOU
SOME EVIDENCE FOR THAT.
00:23:21.30\00:23:25.10
FIRST, WHERE DO WE
LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST?
00:23:25.10\00:23:28.77
SOME OF MY CHARISMATIC FRIENDS,
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE SECRET
00:23:28.77\00:23:32.07
RAPTURE TAKES PLACE NEXT ON THE
SCHEME - THE TIMELINE - AND THEN
00:23:32.07\00:23:36.28
WE GO TO HEAVEN WITH JESUS FOR
SEVEN YEARS, WHILE THERE'S SEVEN
00:23:36.28\00:23:38.95
YEARS OF TRIBULATION DOWN HERE.
THEN, AT THE END OF THE SEVEN
00:23:38.95\00:23:42.08
YEARS OF TRIBULATION, JESUS
COMES BACK WITH THE SAINTS AND
00:23:42.08\00:23:45.35
HE SETS UP AN EARTHLY KINGDOM
IN ISRAEL WHERE HE AND THE SAVED
00:23:45.35\00:23:50.86
REIGN OVER THE
WICKED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
00:23:50.86\00:23:53.53
NOW, WHO HERE WANTS
TO REIGN OVER THE WICKED?
00:23:53.53\00:23:56.13
AND WOULDN'T THAT REALLY BE A
STRANGE WORLD TO LIVE IN, WHERE
00:23:56.13\00:23:58.90
THE SAVED - ETERNAL LIFE
AND ETERNAL BODIES - AND YOU'RE
00:23:58.90\00:24:01.67
RULING OVER THE WICKED WHO ARE
STILL DYING AND HAVING NORMAL
00:24:01.67\00:24:06.01
LIVES AND IT'S JUST SORT OF THE
CO-MINGLING THE ETERNAL WORLD
00:24:06.01\00:24:09.28
WITH THE CARNAL WORLD. IT
JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:24:09.28\00:24:12.45
WHAT DIRECTION DO
WE GO WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:24:12.45\00:24:15.48
NOW SOMEONE GET READY TO READ
FOR ME 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16,
00:24:15.48\00:24:19.09
OKAY? I WANT TO
READ JOHN 14:1 THROUGH 4.
00:24:19.09\00:24:22.92
MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS VERSE,
"LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED;
00:24:22.92\00:24:27.36
YOU BELIEVE IN
GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.
00:24:27.36\00:24:30.13
IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY
MANSIONS; IF IT WERE NOT SO, I
00:24:30.13\00:24:34.10
WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. I GO
TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
00:24:34.10\00:24:37.47
AND IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE
FOR YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND
00:24:37.47\00:24:41.48
RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF; THAT
WHERE I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE
00:24:41.48\00:24:46.78
ALSO. AND WHERE I GO YOU
KNOW, AND THE WAY YOU KNOW."
00:24:46.78\00:24:51.35
SO, CHRIST IS SAYING - YOU STOP
ME IF I DON'T GET IT RIGHT -
00:24:51.35\00:24:54.76
JESUS SAID, 'I'M GOING - I'M
GOING AWAY FROM THE PLANET TO MY
00:24:54.76\00:24:58.83
FATHER'S PLACE, PARADISE, TO
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU AND I'LL
00:24:58.83\00:25:04.10
COME BACK AND I'LL GET YOU
TO RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT
00:25:04.10\00:25:08.30
WHERE I AM YOU MIGHT BE' - I'M
TAKING YOU WITH ME, AWAY FROM
00:25:08.30\00:25:11.41
THIS WORLD TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE.
00:25:11.41\00:25:13.34
SO WHAT DIRECTION DO
WE GO WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:25:13.34\00:25:15.74
>>UP. >>WE GO UP.
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
00:25:15.74\00:25:18.08
READ THE NEXT VERSE FOR
US. IN 1 THESSALONIANS 4.
00:25:18.08\00:25:21.05
>>"FOR THE LORD HIMSELF
WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A
00:25:21.05\00:25:23.35
SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF AN
ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMPET
00:25:23.35\00:25:27.12
OF GOD. AND THE DEAD
IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST.
00:25:27.12\00:25:31.33
THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN
SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH
00:25:31.33\00:25:36.00
THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.
00:25:36.00\00:25:39.13
AND THUS, WE SHALL
ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD."
00:25:39.13\00:25:41.44
>>ALRIGHT, IT'S VERY CLEAR:
WHEN THE LORD COMES AGAIN,
00:25:41.44\00:25:43.51
WE'RE GOING TO REMAIN WITH HIM.
00:25:43.51\00:25:44.97
WHAT DIRECTION DO
WE GO WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:25:44.97\00:25:48.71
FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS THE
DEAD RISE - THEY'RE GOING UP.
00:25:48.71\00:25:52.18
WE WHO ARE ALIVE WILL BE CAUGHT
UP TOGETHER WITH HIM SO THEY
00:25:52.18\00:25:54.72
HAVE RISEN TO CHRIST AND WE'RE,
THEN, GOING TO GO UP WITH THEM
00:25:54.72\00:25:57.89
AND BE WITH THE LORD.
HE SAYS, 'I'M TAKING YOU TO
00:25:57.89\00:26:00.56
WHERE I WAS - MY FATHER'S
HOUSE.' WE ARE LEAVING THE
00:26:00.56\00:26:02.99
PLANET WHEN JESUS COMES.
SO WHEN IT SAYS WE LIVE AND
00:26:02.99\00:26:06.73
REIGN WITH CHRIST,
ARE WE REIGNING ON EARTH?
00:26:06.73\00:26:09.83
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME OTHER
VERSES WHY I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S
00:26:09.83\00:26:11.87
NOT CORRECT. THERE'S
GOING TO BE A TIME IN
00:26:11.87\00:26:15.84
THE FUTURE WHEN
NOBODY IS ALIVE ON EARTH.
00:26:15.84\00:26:19.44
NOW ONCE YOU ESTABLISH
THAT THERE'S A POINT IN PROPHECY
00:26:19.44\00:26:23.88
WHERE IT SAYS THERE'S NO MAN
ALIVE ON EARTH, ALL THE OTHER
00:26:23.88\00:26:27.08
SCHEMES DON'T WORK ANYMORE
BECAUSE, WITH THE TYPICAL, YOU
00:26:27.08\00:26:30.69
KNOW, THE HAL LINDSEY SCHEME
THAT YOU SEE WHERE YOU'VE GOT
00:26:30.69\00:26:35.49
THE TRIBULATION
PEOPLE ARE ON EARTH.
00:26:35.49\00:26:38.13
AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION
JESUS COMES DOWN AND HE SETS UP
00:26:38.13\00:26:40.36
HIS MILLENNIAL REIGN AND THEN
AFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS, ALL
00:26:40.36\00:26:42.53
THE WICKED ARE
DESTROYED. THERE'S ALWAYS A
00:26:42.53\00:26:45.30
POPULATION ALIVE ON EARTH.
BUT THE BIBLE DESCRIBES A TIME
00:26:45.30\00:26:48.54
WHEN THE EARTH IS
VACATED. THERE IS NOBODY ALIVE.
00:26:48.54\00:26:51.94
HERE'S SOME VERSES: ISAIAH
24:3, "THE LAND SHALL BE UTTERLY
00:26:51.94\00:26:56.31
EMPTIED AND UTTERLY SPOILED: FOR
THE LORD HATH SPOKEN THIS WORD."
00:26:56.31\00:27:00.52
JEREMIAH 25:33, "AND AT THAT DAY
THE SLAIN OF THE LORD SHALL BE
00:27:00.52\00:27:05.19
FROM ONE END OF THE EARTH EVEN
UNTO THE OTHER END OF THE EARTH:
00:27:05.19\00:27:08.39
THEY SHALL NOT BE LAMENTED,
NEITHER GATHERED, NOR BURIED;
00:27:08.39\00:27:11.83
THEY SHALL BE DUNG UPON THE
GROUND." WHY IS THERE NOBODY TO
00:27:11.83\00:27:14.76
MOURN THEM OR BURY
THEM OR GATHER THEM?
00:27:14.76\00:27:17.77
THERE'S NOBODY ALIVE. HE
SAYS HE'LL MAKE THE WHOLE
00:27:17.77\00:27:22.14
EARTH EMPTY - UTTERLY DESOLATE.
LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE:
00:27:22.14\00:27:25.51
JEREMIAH 4:23, "I BEHELD THE
EARTH, AND, LO, IT WAS WITHOUT
00:27:25.51\00:27:31.35
FORM, AND VOID;" - NOW I
WANT TO STOP RIGHT THERE.
00:27:31.35\00:27:34.08
IF JEREMIAH HAS SEEN THE EARTH
WITHOUT FORM AND VOID, IS HE
00:27:34.08\00:27:37.49
LOOKING BACK IN TIME TO CREATION
OR IS HE LOOKING FORWARD?
00:27:37.49\00:27:42.09
WHEN YOU FIRST READ IT, 'IN
THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE
00:27:42.09\00:27:44.93
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND
THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM AND
00:27:44.93\00:27:46.86
VOID.' AND, BY THE WAY, THOSE
TERMS - WITHOUT FORM AND VOID -
00:27:46.86\00:27:52.53
COME FROM - IT'S INTERESTING
HEBREW WORDS - TOHUW AND BOHUW -
00:27:52.53\00:27:58.57
SO WHEN YOU READ THAT IN HEBREW,
IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A PLAY ON
00:27:58.57\00:28:02.11
WORDS - 'THE
EARTH WAS TOHUW BOHUW.'
00:28:02.11\00:28:04.38
(LAUGHTER)
THAT'S WHAT IT'S SAYING.
00:28:04.38\00:28:06.95
AND THOSE WORDS - TOHUW MEANS
'FORMLESSNESS CONFUSION'; BOHUW
00:28:06.95\00:28:12.25
MEANS 'VOID, EMPTY, WASTE'.
THE EARTH IS A VOID, EMPTY,
00:28:12.25\00:28:16.42
FORMLESS, CONFUSED,
WASTE. THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.
00:28:16.42\00:28:20.33
NOW, WHEN YOU READ IN JEREMIAH
CHAPTER 4 - GOING BACK THERE
00:28:20.33\00:28:23.03
AGAIN - "I BEHELD THE EARTH,
AND, LO, IT WAS WITHOUT FORM,
00:28:23.03\00:28:25.90
AND VOID; AND THE
HEAVENS, AND THEY HAD NO LIGHT."
00:28:25.90\00:28:28.87
- SOUNDS LIKE CREATION - "I
BEHELD THE MOUNTAINS, AND, LO,
00:28:28.87\00:28:32.07
THEY TREMBLED, AND ALL
THE HILLS MOVED LIGHTLY.
00:28:32.07\00:28:35.08
I BEHELD, AND, LO, THERE WAS NO
MAN," - NOT 'FEW MEN', THERE'S
00:28:35.08\00:28:39.41
'NO MAN' - "AND ALL THE
BIRDS OF THE HEAVENS WERE FLED."
00:28:39.41\00:28:43.65
NOW, IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE THE
BIRDS FLED, IT MEANS THEY WERE
00:28:43.65\00:28:46.05
THERE AND THEY LEFT. "I
BEHELD, AND, LO, THE FRUITFUL
00:28:46.05\00:28:49.62
PLACE WAS A WILDERNESS," - IT
WAS ONCE FRUITFUL, BUT NOW IT'S
00:28:49.62\00:28:53.40
BECOME DEVOID OF LIFE AND ALL
THE CITIES THEREOF WERE BROKEN
00:28:53.40\00:28:58.37
DOWN AT THE PRESENCE OF THE
LORD, AND BY HIS FIERCE ANGER."
00:28:58.37\00:29:03.54
- WHAT BROKE DOWN THE CITIES?
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:29:03.54\00:29:06.11
SO WHEN JESUS COMES
IT'S CREATION IN REVERSE.
00:29:06.11\00:29:09.28
ISN'T HE GOING TO MAKE A
NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH?
00:29:09.28\00:29:12.11
YOU EVER SEE A POTTER AND HE
TRIES TO MAKE SOMETHING ON THE
00:29:12.11\00:29:14.35
WHEEL AND IT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT
AND HE TAKES THE CLAY AND HE
00:29:14.35\00:29:16.72
JUST MASHES IT INTO A FORMLESS
LUMP AGAIN AND STARTS OVER?
00:29:16.72\00:29:20.36
GOD IS GOING TO DO THAT WITH
THE PLANET - WITHOUT FORM, DARK,
00:29:20.36\00:29:23.93
VOID - AND THINGS ARE
GOING TO BE DESTROYED.
00:29:23.93\00:29:28.53
THE ELEMENTS'LL
MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT.
00:29:28.53\00:29:30.43
CITIES ARE BROKEN DOWN.
BIRDS OF HEAVEN ARE FLED.
00:29:30.43\00:29:32.60
THERE'S NO MAN. SO
THERE IS A POINT WHEN
00:29:32.60\00:29:35.27
THERE'S, OBVIOUSLY, NO LIFE
ON EARTH. BY THE WAY, I JUST
00:29:35.27\00:29:37.87
STARTED READING YOU THAT VERSE -
PETER SAYS IN 2 PETER 3:10, "BUT
00:29:37.87\00:29:46.11
THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME
AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT; IN THE
00:29:46.11\00:29:47.35
WHICH THE HEAVENS... SHALL MELT
WITH FERVENT HEAT, THE EARTH
00:29:47.35\00:29:48.52
ALSO AND THE WORKS THERE
ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP.
00:29:48.52\00:29:51.35
SEEING THEN THAT ALL THESE
THINGS SHALL BE DISSOLVED," -
00:29:51.35\00:29:53.42
HOW MUCH LIFE CAN BE ON
EARTH UNDER THAT CONDITION?
00:29:53.42\00:29:57.66
THIS - THIS EVANGELICAL, YOU
KNOW, 'LEFT BEHIND' SCHEME THAT
00:29:57.66\00:30:02.00
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING
ON - ALWAYS PEOPLE LIVING HERE
00:30:02.00\00:30:03.77
ON EARTH, DOESN'T FIT
WITH THE BIBLE TEACHING.
00:30:03.77\00:30:06.47
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN CHRIST
COMES THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED
00:30:06.47\00:30:10.64
BY THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
COMING. THERE'S DESOLATION.
00:30:10.64\00:30:13.61
THERE IS NO MAN. THE
SLAIN OF THE LORD ARE FROM
00:30:13.61\00:30:16.08
ONE END OF THE
EARTH TO THE OTHER.
00:30:16.08\00:30:17.55
NO ONE TO LAMENT
OR MOURN OR BURY THEM.
00:30:17.55\00:30:19.98
YOU SEE HOW IT
HAS TO FIT THAT WAY?
00:30:19.98\00:30:22.12
SO WHERE IS SATAN BOUND?
WELL, WHEN JESUS TOLD THOSE
00:30:22.12\00:30:26.22
DEVILS TO COME OUT OF THE
MAN, THEY CALLED IT AN ABUSSOS
00:30:26.22\00:30:28.86
BECAUSE THEY HAD NOBODY TO
POSSESS OR MANIPULATE OR TEMPT.
00:30:28.86\00:30:32.29
FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS
SATAN IS BOUND BY CIRCUMSTANCES,
00:30:32.29\00:30:35.53
FORCED TO REMAIN ON THIS PLANET
WHERE HE HAS NOBODY TO TEMPT OR
00:30:35.53\00:30:41.20
MANIPULATE. HE IS
BOUND. HE HAS NOTHING TO DO.
00:30:41.20\00:30:46.91
ALRIGHT, LET'S SEE HERE - JOB
- HERE'S JUST ONE MORE EXAMPLE -
00:30:46.91\00:30:51.31
JOB 12:24 - IT SAYS, "HE TAKES
AWAY THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE
00:30:51.31\00:30:54.82
CHIEFS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE
EARTH, AND MAKES THEM WANDER IN
00:30:54.82\00:30:57.99
A PATHLESS WILDERNESS."
THAT, AGAIN, IS THAT WORD
00:30:57.99\00:31:00.89
'TOHUW' TALKING
ABOUT FORMLESS CONFUSION.
00:31:00.89\00:31:04.29
SO FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS SATAN
IS BOUND ON EARTH AND WHAT ARE
00:31:04.29\00:31:07.76
WE DOING IN HEAVEN
DURING THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS?
00:31:07.76\00:31:11.40
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
1 CORINTHIANS 4:5 IN JUST A
00:31:11.40\00:31:14.34
MOMENT, OKAY? I'M GOING
TO READ 1 CORINTHIANS 6:2.
00:31:14.34\00:31:17.44
PAUL SAYS HERE, "DO YOU NOT KNOW
THAT THE SAINTS WILL JUDGE THE
00:31:17.44\00:31:22.41
WORLD? AND IF THE
WORLD WILL BE JUDGED
00:31:22.41\00:31:25.08
BY YOU, ARE YOU UNWORTHY TO
JUDGE THE SMALLEST MATTERS?"
00:31:25.08\00:31:28.28
PAUL IS CHASTISING A CHURCH
THERE IN CORINTH BECAUSE THEY
00:31:28.28\00:31:31.35
COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF JUDGING
SOMETHING THAT REALLY WAS
00:31:31.35\00:31:33.49
OBVIOUS NEEDED ATTENTION AND HE
SAYS, 'DON'T YOU KNOW THE SAINTS
00:31:33.49\00:31:37.66
WILL JUDGE THE
WORLD?' NOW HOW IS IT THAT
00:31:37.66\00:31:40.70
WE JUDGE THE WORLD?
FIRST OF ALL, HOW DOES IT MAKE
00:31:40.70\00:31:44.57
YOU FEEL THAT PAUL SAYS PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO BE JUDGING PEOPLE?
00:31:44.57\00:31:49.84
WHAT'S THE MOST COMMONLY QUOTED
VERSE? IT'S NOT JOHN 3:16.
00:31:49.84\00:31:55.04
THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST-LOVED
VERSES, BUT THE MOST COMMONLY
00:31:55.04\00:31:57.68
QUOTED VERSE IS ACTUALLY 'JUDGE
NOT' BECAUSE ALL THE UNBELIEVERS
00:31:57.68\00:32:00.75
IN THE WORLD QUOTE
THAT ONE. THEY ALL KNOW IT.
00:32:00.75\00:32:05.29
'YOU'RE JUDGING ME. DON'T
JUDGE ME. JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE
00:32:05.29\00:32:07.36
JUDGED.' BUT THE BIBLE SAYS,
'DON'T YOU KNOW THE SAINTS WILL
00:32:07.36\00:32:10.99
JUDGE THE WORLD?' NOW
WHEN JESUS COMES, DOES THE
00:32:10.99\00:32:13.53
LORD ALREADY KNOW
WHO'S SAVED AND WHO'S LOST?
00:32:13.53\00:32:17.10
SO HOW COULD WE BE PARTICIPATING
IN JUDGMENT IF THE LORD HAS
00:32:17.10\00:32:20.80
ALREADY DETERMINED
WHO'S SAVED AND WHO'S LOST?
00:32:20.80\00:32:23.94
YOU KNOW, THERE'S
DIFFERENT PHASES OF JUDGMENT.
00:32:23.94\00:32:26.61
SOMETIMES A JUDGE WILL GET A
JURY TOGETHER AND THEY'LL SAY
00:32:26.61\00:32:31.01
'GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?'
AND THEY'LL SAY, 'GUILTY'.
00:32:31.01\00:32:34.05
AND THE JUDGE SAYS, 'OKAY, WE'LL
CONVENE FOR ANOTHER JUDGEMENT IN
00:32:34.05\00:32:38.39
THREE WEEKS TO DETERMINE
PUNISHMENT.' FIRST WE DECIDE
00:32:38.39\00:32:42.39
WHETHER THEY'RE GUILTY OR
INNOCENT, THEN WE HAVE ANOTHER
00:32:42.39\00:32:44.06
JUDGMENT, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT,
THAT IS DETERMINING WHAT THE
00:32:44.06\00:32:47.13
SENTENCE IS. WHEN
JESUS COMES, THE GUILT OR
00:32:47.13\00:32:50.40
INNOCENCE IS ALREADY DETERMINED,
BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A TIME
00:32:50.40\00:32:54.80
WHEN THE WICKED ARE JUDGED -
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT -
00:32:54.80\00:32:58.24
AND THEY RECEIVE THEIR SENTENCE
AT THE END OF THE ONE THOUSAND
00:32:58.24\00:33:01.18
YEARS - THIS GREAT WHITE
THRONE JUDGMENT WHERE ALL STAND
00:33:01.18\00:33:04.65
BEFORE THE
JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.
00:33:04.65\00:33:06.55
WE WILL HAVE A PART IN
DETERMINING, EVIDENTLY, THE
00:33:06.55\00:33:10.02
DEGREE OF
PUNISHMENT - THAT IT IS JUST.
00:33:10.02\00:33:12.99
LET ME READ YOU A QUOTE FROM THE
BOOK GREAT CONTROVERSY , PAGE
00:33:12.99\00:33:17.16
661, "IN UNION WITH CHRIST
THEY" - THE SAINTS - "JUDGE THE
00:33:17.16\00:33:22.70
WICKED, COMPARING THEIR ACTS
WITH THE STATUTE BOOK" - THE
00:33:22.70\00:33:26.70
BIBLE - "AND DECIDING EVERY CASE
ACCORDING TO THE DEEDS DONE IN
00:33:26.70\00:33:30.21
THE BODY. THEN THE
PORTION WITH WHICH THE
00:33:30.21\00:33:33.48
WICKED MUST SUFFER IS METED OUT
ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS AND IS
00:33:33.48\00:33:36.44
RECORDED AGAINST THEIR
NAMES IN THE BOOK OF DEATH."
00:33:36.44\00:33:39.21
WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY
DIFFERENT FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE.
00:33:39.21\00:33:42.15
READ FOR US, PLEASE, 1
CORINTHIANS 4, VERSE 5.
00:33:42.15\00:33:46.52
>>THEREFORE JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE
THE TIME, UNTIL THE LORD COMES,
00:33:46.52\00:33:50.06
WHO WILL BOTH BRING TO LIGHT THE
HIDDEN THINGS OF DARKNESS AND
00:33:50.06\00:33:53.56
REVEAL THE COUNSELS OF THE
HEARTS. THEN EACH ONE'S PRAISE
00:33:53.56\00:33:56.87
WILL COME FROM GOD." >>ALRIGHT.
00:33:56.87\00:34:00.14
DURING THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS -
FIRST OF ALL, LET'S JUST IMAGINE
00:34:00.14\00:34:04.04
FOR A MOMENT THE LORD COMES, THE
WICKED ARE DESTROYED, THE WICKED
00:34:04.04\00:34:08.01
LIVING ARE KILLED AT THE
MILLENNIUM, THE WICKED WHO ARE
00:34:08.01\00:34:12.28
DEAD STAY DEAD, THE DEAD IN
CHRIST RISE, THE BELIEVERS ARE
00:34:12.28\00:34:18.25
CAUGHT UP TO MEET THEM, ALL THE
SAVED ARE TAKEN TO HEAVEN, ALL
00:34:18.25\00:34:21.59
THE LOST ARE ON THE EARTH.
WE'RE GOING TO GET TO HEAVEN AND
00:34:21.59\00:34:26.80
WHERE DOES IT SAY
GOD WIPES AWAY ALL TEARS?
00:34:26.80\00:34:30.80
REVELATION 20 OR 21? >>21.
00:34:30.80\00:34:32.83
>>21. WHERE IS THE MILLENNIUM?
00:34:32.83\00:34:36.34
REVELATION 20 - REVELATION
20 THERE MAY BE SOME SADNESS.
00:34:36.34\00:34:42.34
IF YOU GET TO THE KINGDOM AND
PEOPLE THAT YOU KNEW AND LOVED
00:34:42.34\00:34:46.45
ON EARTH - FRIENDS, FAMILY - ARE
NOT THERE, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO
00:34:46.45\00:34:51.52
SMILE AND SING 'HALLELUJAH' LIKE
AN IDIOT THAT HAS NO FEELINGS?
00:34:51.52\00:34:55.66
OR IS THERE GOING TO BE - I
DIDN'T MEAN TO BE DEROGATORY,
00:34:55.66\00:34:59.16
BUT I MEAN, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
00:34:59.16\00:35:01.43
IS GOD REMOVING
ALL NATURAL AFFECTION?
00:35:01.43\00:35:05.07
THE WIPING AWAY OF
THE TEARS COMES LATER.
00:35:05.07\00:35:07.04
PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, THERE CAN'T
BE SADNESS IN HEAVEN.' WHERE DID
00:35:07.04\00:35:08.94
THEY GET THAT IDEA?
WHEN JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS,
00:35:08.94\00:35:11.91
WERE THE ANGELS SINGING? >>NO.
00:35:11.91\00:35:14.24
>>NO, THERE IS
SADNESS IN HEAVEN.
00:35:14.24\00:35:16.21
THERE WAS SADNESS AT
THE REBELLION - AT THE FALL.
00:35:16.21\00:35:19.11
AND SO THERE MAY BE SOME SORROW.
I THINK EVEN THE REDEEMED, WHEN
00:35:19.11\00:35:22.75
WE GET TO HEAVEN AND WE REALIZE
ALL WE HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO
00:35:22.75\00:35:26.55
THINK, 'I WISH I'D DONE
MORE.' WE MAY HAVE SOME REGRETS.
00:35:26.55\00:35:30.09
EVEN THE SAVED, AT FIRST, MAY
HAVE SOME REGRETS AND THINK, 'IF
00:35:30.09\00:35:33.19
I'D ONLY KNOWN. I WISH I
HADN'T WASTED SO MUCH TIME.
00:35:33.19\00:35:35.86
GOD IS GOOD. I'M
SO GLAD TO BE HERE.
00:35:35.86\00:35:37.47
HE'S SHOWN ME MERCY.
BUT IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN.
00:35:37.47\00:35:41.17
OH, THE TIMES I'VE WASTED OR THE
TIMES I WAS A BAD INFLUENCE.'
00:35:41.17\00:35:45.04
WE'LL HAVE THOUGHTS.
DON'T - DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME.
00:35:45.04\00:35:48.58
THE OVERWHELMING JOY AND
GLORY OF THE PLACE WILL ECLIPSE
00:35:48.58\00:35:50.95
EVERYTHING THAT IS SAD, BUT IT'S
NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NO
00:35:50.95\00:35:54.35
FEELINGS IN HEAVEN. AND
SO WE'RE GOING TO SAY, 'I
00:35:54.35\00:35:58.59
DON'T UNDERSTAND' - TO THE ANGEL
- 'UNCLE HARVEY IS THE ONE WHO
00:35:58.59\00:36:02.29
LED ME TO THE LORD AND HE WAS
A HEAD ELDER AND HE WAS SUCH A
00:36:02.29\00:36:05.63
GODLY MAN. I DON'T SEE
HIM ANYWHERE. WHAT HAPPENED?'
00:36:05.63\00:36:08.00
AND THE ANGELS ARE GOING
TO SAY, 'WELL, COME WITH US.
00:36:08.00\00:36:10.03
WE'VE GOT THE DIGITAL ARCHIVES
- 3-D ARCHIVES - AND WE'RE GOING
00:36:10.03\00:36:14.67
TO LOOK AT UNCLE
HARVEY AND YOU'RE GOING TO -
00:36:14.67\00:36:16.77
SEE UNCLE HARVEY? HE
HAD SOMETHING IN HIS LIFE.
00:36:16.77\00:36:20.11
SOME SIN HE REFUSED TO LET GO
OF, THAT HE HID FROM EVERYBODY
00:36:20.11\00:36:23.28
ELSE, BUT YOU
CAN'T HIDE FROM GOD.
00:36:23.28\00:36:25.05
AND GOD DID EVERYTHING HE COULD
TO BRING HIM TO REPENTANCE - TO
00:36:25.05\00:36:27.82
CONVICT HIM - TO GET HIM
TO TURN - PATIENT WITH HIM.
00:36:27.82\00:36:30.55
BUT HE REFUSED AND GOD COULDN'T
SAVE HIM.' AND WE'LL SEE GOD DID
00:36:30.55\00:36:35.19
EVERYTHING HE COULD.
AND WE'LL SAY, 'I TRUST GOD.
00:36:35.19\00:36:37.73
I'M NOT GOING TO BE ANGRY
BECAUSE UNCLE HARVEY'S NOT
00:36:37.73\00:36:39.33
HERE.' SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:36:39.33\00:36:41.83
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
THOUSAND YEARS TO ASK QUESTIONS.
00:36:41.83\00:36:45.00
I JUST PICKED ONE SCENARIO.
THERE'LL BE A LOT OF SCENARIOS.
00:36:45.00\00:36:47.40
WE'LL NOT ONLY BE ASKING
QUESTIONS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO MAY
00:36:47.40\00:36:49.90
BE MISSING; THERE MAY BE
SOME PEOPLE WE SEE IN HEAVEN AND
00:36:49.90\00:36:53.31
THINK, 'HOW IN THE WORLD
DID THEY RATE GETTING HERE?'
00:36:53.31\00:36:57.25
YOU KNOW, WE JUST CAN'T IMAGINE
WHY WOULD NAPOLEON BE HERE?
00:36:57.25\00:37:01.38
ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS NAPOLEON
DID - YOU KNOW, THE RUMOR IS
00:37:01.38\00:37:03.92
THAT NAPOLEON HAD REMORSE AND
CAME TO THE LORD AT THE END OF
00:37:03.92\00:37:07.22
HIS LIFE. THAT'S A
RUMOR I'VE HEARD - WHEN
00:37:07.22\00:37:08.86
HE WAS A PRISONER ON,
WHAT IS IT - ELBA ISLAND.
00:37:08.86\00:37:12.06
WOULDN'T IT BE SOMETHING TO SEE
THAT THIS MAN WHO HAD SO MANY
00:37:12.06\00:37:15.40
DIED BECAUSE OF
HIS WARS, IN HEAVEN?
00:37:15.40\00:37:18.73
AND WE'LL SAY,
'WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?'
00:37:18.73\00:37:20.24
AND SO WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE SOME SURPRISES.
00:37:20.24\00:37:23.00
I THINK YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ME
SAY BEFORE, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE
00:37:23.00\00:37:26.51
EXPRESSION ON STEPHEN'S FACE
WHEN HE GETS TO HEAVEN AND HE
00:37:26.51\00:37:29.51
SEES PAUL BEING
CARRIED ON PEOPLE'S SHOULDERS?
00:37:29.51\00:37:31.71
THE ANGELS ARE CELEBRATING
AND STEPHEN'S GOING TO - 'WAIT A
00:37:31.71\00:37:34.58
SECOND, YOU GUYS MADE A
MISTAKE. WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?'
00:37:34.58\00:37:37.55
AND THE ANGEL'S GOING TO SAY,
'COME HERE, STEPHEN, WE'LL SHOW
00:37:37.55\00:37:39.79
YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
THIS GUY WHO WAS KILLING
00:37:39.79\00:37:42.06
CHRISTIANS AND HELPED EXECUTE
YOU, YOU PRAYED FOR HIM BEFORE
00:37:42.06\00:37:45.46
YOU DIED AND SAID, 'LORD, LAY
NOT THIS SIN TO THEIR CHARGE.'
00:37:45.46\00:37:47.93
GOD HEARD YOUR
PRAYER. HE WAS CONVERTED.
00:37:47.93\00:37:50.70
HE BECAME ONE OF THE GREATEST
NEW TESTAMENT TEACHERS AND
00:37:50.70\00:37:54.00
WRITERS.' 'OH, WELL
GLAD HE'S HERE.' YOU SEE?
00:37:54.00\00:37:58.04
SO THERE'LL BE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS - A THOUSAND YEARS
00:37:58.04\00:37:59.71
WORTH OF QUESTIONS. SO WE
LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST
00:37:59.71\00:38:02.74
AND PART OF THE JUDGMENT - LET
ME READ THIS TO YOU - REVELATION
00:38:02.74\00:38:06.35
15:4, "WHO SHALL NOT FEAR YOU,
O LORD, AND GLORIFY YOUR NAME?
00:38:06.35\00:38:12.92
FOR YOU ALONE ARE HOLY.
FOR ALL NATIONS SHALL COME AND
00:38:12.92\00:38:16.02
WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR
JUDGMENTS HAVE BEEN MANIFESTED."
00:38:16.02\00:38:21.06
NOW, WHAT DOES
MANIFEST MEAN? REVEALED.
00:38:21.06\00:38:24.03
PART OF WHAT'S HAPPENING -
IT'S NOT ALL, BUT PART OF WHAT'S
00:38:24.03\00:38:27.30
HAPPENING DURING THE
ONE THOUSAND-YEAR MILLENNIAL
00:38:27.30\00:38:29.47
JUDGMENT IS WE ARE
EVALUATING THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD.
00:38:29.47\00:38:36.71
YOU EVER HEARD SOMEONE USE
THE EXPRESSION 'THEY'VE GOT GOOD
00:38:36.71\00:38:39.85
JUDGMENT'? DOES THAT MEAN
THEY'RE WALKING THROUGH THEIR
00:38:39.85\00:38:43.62
DAY GOING, 'GUILTY -
INNOCENT - GUILTY - INNOCENT'?
00:38:43.62\00:38:46.92
SO JUDGMENT DOESN'T ALWAYS
MEAN THAT YOU'RE PRONOUNCING
00:38:46.92\00:38:49.72
SENTENCE. IN FACT,
JESUS SAID, 'WHEN YOU
00:38:49.72\00:38:53.06
JUDGE USE RIGHTEOUS
JUDGMENT.' WE ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT
00:38:53.06\00:38:55.93
'DON'T JUDGE' BUT JESUS
ACTUALLY SAID YOU SHOULD JUDGE.
00:38:55.93\00:38:59.03
AND HE SAID, 'WHEN YOU
JUDGE, USE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.'
00:38:59.03\00:39:01.30
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO USE THE
JUDGMENT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US
00:39:01.30\00:39:04.67
IN OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL
PERSONALITIES AND LOOK AT WHAT
00:39:04.67\00:39:07.78
HAS HAPPENED BECAUSE GOD WANTS
US TO BE AT PEACE WITH HIM.
00:39:07.78\00:39:12.61
HE WANTS US TO TRUST
HIM THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:39:12.61\00:39:16.99
WE ALWAYS TALK AND HEAR
ABOUT POLITICIANS SAYING, 'MY
00:39:16.99\00:39:20.39
GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO BE
THE MOST TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT.
00:39:20.39\00:39:23.99
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO
ANYTHING CLOAK AND DAGGER.
00:39:23.99\00:39:27.40
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO
BE OPEN. YOU GOT A QUESTION,
00:39:27.40\00:39:28.93
OPEN THE BOOKS. YOU
CAN LOOK AT WHATEVER YOU
00:39:28.93\00:39:30.60
WANT.' AND WE HAVEN'T REALLY RUN
INTO A GOVERNMENT LIKE THAT YET.
00:39:30.60\00:39:34.67
BUT GOD IS GOING
TO DO THAT. >>YES.
00:39:34.67\00:39:38.44
>>HE IS GOING TO SAY, 'HERE
ARE THE BOOKS.' YOU GET TO LOOK.
00:39:38.44\00:39:42.91
AND YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING -
YOU KNOW THAT VERSE THAT SAYS,
00:39:42.91\00:39:45.41
'THOSE THINGS DONE IN SECRET
WILL BE PROCLAIMED FROM THE
00:39:45.41\00:39:47.25
HOUSETOPS'? WHEN
DOES THAT HAPPEN?
00:39:47.25\00:39:50.52
EVERYBODY - IF YOUR SINS ARE
NOT UNDER THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,
00:39:50.52\00:39:54.99
THEY ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE
FOR PUBLIC ACCESS DURING THE
00:39:54.99\00:39:59.16
MILLENNIUM. IT KIND OF
MAKES YOU SHUDDER, DOESN'T IT?
00:39:59.16\00:40:03.50
WE ALL WANT OUR SINS
UNDER THE BLOOD, DON'T WE?
00:40:03.50\00:40:06.57
BECAUSE IT SAYS THAT
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE NAKED
00:40:06.57\00:40:10.21
AND OPEN AT THAT TIME AND THOSE
THINGS DONE IN SECRET WILL BE
00:40:10.21\00:40:14.64
PLAINLY REVEALED.
AND SO THIS IS DURING
00:40:14.64\00:40:17.65
THAT MILLENNIAL
JUDGMENT. ALRIGHT, THEN WE'VE
00:40:17.65\00:40:19.68
GOT THE FINAL JUDGMENT.
NOW, IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION
00:40:19.68\00:40:22.62
CHAPTER 20 - GO TO CHAPTER 21
- WELL, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO READ
00:40:22.62\00:40:27.62
SOMETHING ELSE
TO YOU REAL QUICK.
00:40:27.62\00:40:29.19
IF YOU LOOK IN - GO TO VERSE 6
- REVELATION 20, VERSE 6 - WELL,
00:40:29.19\00:40:37.30
VERSE 5, "BUT THE REST OF THE
DEAD DID NOT LIVE AGAIN UNTIL
00:40:37.30\00:40:41.27
THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE
FINISHED...BLESSED AND HOLY IS
00:40:41.27\00:40:44.81
HE WHO HAS PART IN
THE FIRST RESURRECTION."
00:40:44.81\00:40:47.44
- THE DEAD IN
CHRIST RISE WHEN? >>FIRST.
00:40:47.44\00:40:49.41
>>FIRST. SO IF THE
DEAD IN CHRIST RISE
00:40:49.41\00:40:51.58
FIRST, WHO ARE THE REST OF THE
DEAD? THOSE THAT ARE NOT DEAD IN
00:40:51.58\00:40:55.35
CHRIST ARE THE ONES WHO ARE DEAD
WITHOUT CHRIST - THEY'RE THE
00:40:55.35\00:40:57.72
LOST - THE
WICKED. IS THAT RIGHT?
00:40:57.72\00:41:00.79
IT SAYS, "OVER SUCH THE SECOND
DEATH HAS NO POWER," - THE DEAD
00:41:00.79\00:41:04.09
IN CHRIST HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY
ABOUT THE SECOND DEATH - "BUT
00:41:04.09\00:41:07.56
THEY SHALL BE PRIESTS OF GOD AND
OF CHRIST, AND SHALL REIGN WITH
00:41:07.56\00:41:10.10
HIM A THOUSAND YEARS."
SO WE'RE LIVING WITH AND
00:41:10.10\00:41:13.57
REIGNING WITH CHRIST IN THE
KINGDOM BECAUSE WHEN HE COMES
00:41:13.57\00:41:15.50
THE DEAD IN CHRIST RISE - WE GO
UP. BUT, VERSE 7, "NOW WHEN THE
00:41:15.50\00:41:19.71
THOUSAND YEARS HAVE EXPIRED,
SATAN WILL BE RELEASED FROM
00:41:19.71\00:41:22.84
HIS PRISON AND WILL GO OUT TO
DECEIVE THE NATIONS WHICH ARE IN
00:41:22.84\00:41:27.02
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH,
GOG AND MAGOG, TO GATHER THEM
00:41:27.02\00:41:31.59
TOGETHER TO BATTLE, WHOSE NUMBER
IS AS THE SAND OF THE SEA.
00:41:31.59\00:41:35.49
THEY WENT UP ON THE BREADTH
OF THE EARTH AND SURROUNDED THE
00:41:35.49\00:41:37.93
CAMP OF THE SAINTS
AND THE BELOVED CITY."
00:41:37.93\00:41:39.73
- THEY COVER THE EARTH LIKE A
CLOUD - "AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM
00:41:39.73\00:41:42.76
GOD OUT OF HEAVEN
AND DEVOURED THEM."
00:41:42.76\00:41:45.10
WHO ARE GOG AND
MAGOG? THEY'RE THE WICKED.
00:41:45.10\00:41:50.04
NOW I'VE HEARD SOME VERY
INTERESTING CREATIVE SERMONS
00:41:50.04\00:41:54.24
BEFORE WHERE I'VE HEARD SOME
EVANGELICAL PASTORS THAT HAVE
00:41:54.24\00:41:57.98
SAID, 'DURING THE ONE THOUSAND
YEARS THE RIGHTEOUS ARE LIVING
00:41:57.98\00:42:00.42
AND REIGNING WITH CHRIST.
THEN GOG, WHICH IS THE CHINESE
00:42:00.42\00:42:05.49
AND MAGOG, WHICH COMES FROM
MESHEK - RUSSIA - MOSCOW - ARE
00:42:05.49\00:42:10.36
ALL GOING TO GET TOGETHER AND
ATTACK ISRAEL IN THE VALLEY OF
00:42:10.36\00:42:13.96
MEGIDDO.' ANY OF YOU HEARD THIS
BEFORE? NOTHING OF THE SORT.
00:42:13.96\00:42:20.24
THERE'S NOTHING IN THE BIBLE TO
SUPPORT GOG AND MAGOG ARE CHINA
00:42:20.24\00:42:22.60
AND RUSSIA. THAT IS - PARDON ME,
BUT THAT'S JUST HALLUCINATIONS.
00:42:22.60\00:42:27.11
IT'S NOT EVEN A VISION,
IT'S JUST A HALLUCINATION.
00:42:27.11\00:42:30.65
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT YOU CAN
LOOK IN GENESIS CHAPTER 10 - IT
00:42:30.65\00:42:34.58
TALKS ABOUT THE NATIONS THAT
POPULATED THE WORLD AND SOME
00:42:34.58\00:42:37.95
NATIONS THAT WERE - THEY WERE
NORTH OF ISRAEL - YOU'VE GOT
00:42:37.95\00:42:42.39
MAGOG, AND THAT MEANS
'THE CHILDREN OF GOG'.
00:42:42.39\00:42:45.99
GOG, THEY WERE
ENEMIES OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:42:45.99\00:42:50.50
THEY FOUGHT
AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:42:50.50\00:42:52.30
THEY REPRESENTED A LARGE GROUP
OF PEOPLE AND MAGOG MEANS 'FROM
00:42:52.30\00:42:55.80
THE MATRIX' OR
THOSE WHO CAME OUT OF GOG.
00:42:55.80\00:42:59.94
SO IT'S BASICALLY THE WICKED AND
THE CHILDREN OF THE WICKED, LIKE
00:42:59.94\00:43:03.08
BABYLON AND HER DAUGHTERS,
LIKE JEZEBEL AND ATHALIA, LIKE
00:43:03.08\00:43:07.25
HERODIAS AND
SALOME. THESE - THE WICKED
00:43:07.25\00:43:10.99
AND THEIR DESCENDENTS.
YOU'VE GOT ABRAHAM AND HIS SEED;
00:43:10.99\00:43:13.76
YOU'VE GOT THE
WICKED AND THEIR SEED.
00:43:13.76\00:43:15.19
YOU'VE GOT THE WOMAN - THE
DRAGON MAKES WAR WITH THE WOMAN
00:43:15.19\00:43:18.19
AND THE REMNANT OF HER SEED - SO
IT TALKS ABOUT THE WOMAN AND HER
00:43:18.19\00:43:20.90
SEED. IT'S SIMPLY SAYING,
'GOG AND THE SEED OF GOG.
00:43:20.90\00:43:24.07
THAT'S ALL THAT MEANS.
THEY REPRESENT ALL THE WICKED.
00:43:24.07\00:43:26.60
NOW, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
THAT, TO UNDERSTAND REVELATION
00:43:26.60\00:43:29.47
GO TO THE OLD
TESTAMENT. TURN TO EZEKIEL.
00:43:29.47\00:43:32.84
IF YOU LOOK IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER
38 IT SAYS, FOR INSTANCE, "YOU
00:43:32.84\00:43:41.48
WILL ASCEND, COMING LIKE A
STORM, COVERING THE LAND LIKE A
00:43:41.48\00:43:44.95
CLOUD, YOU AND ALL YOUR TROOPS
AND MANY PEOPLES WITH YOU."
00:43:44.95\00:43:50.56
SO IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT ONE
NATION, GOG SIMPLY REPRESENTS
00:43:50.56\00:43:53.43
MANY PEOPLES THAT WILL
MAKE WAR ON THE CITY OF GOD.
00:43:53.43\00:43:58.37
THEY'LL THINK THEY CAN
ATTACK THE CITY OF GOD.
00:43:58.37\00:44:01.00
THEY COME LIKE A STORM COVERING
THE LAND. AND IT SAYS - YOU GO
00:44:01.00\00:44:04.81
TO VERSE 22 OF EZEKIEL 38 -
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ FOR ME
00:44:04.81\00:44:08.81
MATTHEW 7:22. WHO HAS
THAT? OKAY, JUST A MOMENT.
00:44:08.81\00:44:13.18
IN EZEKIEL 22 - OR 38, VERSE
22, "AND I WILL BRING HIM TO
00:44:13.18\00:44:17.62
JUDGMENT WITH THE PESTILENCE
AND BLOODSHED; I WILL RAIN DOWN
00:44:17.62\00:44:21.62
ON HIM, ON HIS TROOPS, AND
ON THE MANY PEOPLES WHO ARE WITH
00:44:21.62\00:44:25.03
HIM, FLOODING RAIN,
GREAT HAILSTONES, FIRE, AND
00:44:25.03\00:44:29.03
BRIMSTONE." THIS
IS LOOKING FORWARD.
00:44:29.03\00:44:30.80
EZEKIEL IS LOOKING FORWARD TO
THIS BATTLE THAT YOU'VE FOUND.
00:44:30.80\00:44:34.07
NOW, YOU CAN LOOK IN
VERSE 8 OF REVELATION 20.
00:44:34.07\00:44:36.74
IT SAYS SATAN GOES "OUT TO
DECEIVE THE NATIONS THAT ARE IN
00:44:36.74\00:44:40.84
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH,
GOG AND MAGOG" - IT TELLS YOU
00:44:40.84\00:44:43.21
WHO THEY ARE - ALL THE
WICKED THAT COVER THE EARTH.
00:44:43.21\00:44:45.91
GOG AND MAGOG
IS A SYMBOLIC NAME.
00:44:45.91\00:44:48.12
NOW, IN THE BIBLE YOU'LL FIND
MOST OF THE NAMES ARE SYMBOLIC.
00:44:48.12\00:44:54.26
WHEN IT TALKS, IN REVELATION 2
AND 3, ABOUT BALAAM AND JEZEBEL,
00:44:54.26\00:44:57.86
IS IT LITERAL BALAAM AND
JEZEBEL, OR DO THEY REPRESENT
00:44:57.86\00:45:00.33
PEOPLE LIKE JEZEBEL AND BALAAM?
WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT APOLLYON AND
00:45:00.33\00:45:06.43
WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT
THE DRAGON, IT'S A SYMBOLIC
00:45:06.43\00:45:09.17
NAME FOR THE DEVIL. AND
YOU LOOK AT ALL THE NAMES IT
00:45:09.17\00:45:11.37
GIVES THERE AND THEY'RE
USUALLY SYMBOLS - GOG AND MAGOG.
00:45:11.37\00:45:14.88
IT'S NOT THAT ANCIENT NATION,
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE ENEMIES
00:45:14.88\00:45:18.35
OF GOD'S PEOPLE AND MANY PEOPLE
WITH HIM - SATAN IS GOING TO
00:45:18.35\00:45:22.38
RALLY ALL THE LOST
WHO ARE RESURRECTED.
00:45:22.38\00:45:25.42
LET ME JUST TRY AND
PAINT IT FOR YOU IN A PICTURE.
00:45:25.42\00:45:28.46
AT THE END OF THE ONE THOUSAND
YEARS, THIS INVESTIGATIVE - OR
00:45:28.46\00:45:32.06
THIS CURIOSITY JUDGMENT IS OVER.
00:45:32.06\00:45:37.83
THE LORD, THEN, WILL
SIGNAL THE TIME HAS COME.
00:45:37.83\00:45:40.87
THE NEW JERUSALEM
DESCENDS FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:45:40.87\00:45:45.04
BEFORE IT SETTLES - AND THAT
CITY IS 375 MILES ON EACH SIDE -
00:45:45.04\00:45:49.81
BEFORE IT SETTLES,
CHRIST COMES OUT OF THE CITY.
00:45:49.81\00:45:52.28
HE COMES DOWN - HIS FEET TOUCH
THE EARTH AND, ALMOST LIKE A
00:45:52.28\00:45:56.58
HYPODERMIC NEEDLE WITH ADRENALIN
IN IT, IT BRINGS TO LIFE ALL THE
00:45:56.58\00:46:00.26
WICKED WHO HAVE EVER
LIVED ALL THROUGH TIME.
00:46:00.26\00:46:05.43
AND THEY DON'T COME OUT OF THEIR
BODIES - OUT OF THEIR GRAVES
00:46:05.43\00:46:10.50
WITH GLORIFIED NEW BODIES.
THE LORD SOMEHOW PATCHES THEM
00:46:10.50\00:46:14.97
TOGETHER AGAIN SO THEY'RE ALIVE,
MUCH LIKE THEY DIED, JUST SO
00:46:14.97\00:46:18.24
THEY'RE AWARE OF WHAT'S
GOING ON - AND THEY CAN'T DIE.
00:46:18.24\00:46:23.38
I HEARD A PASTOR GIVE A CREATIVE
SERMON ABOUT ZOMBIES - SAYING
00:46:23.38\00:46:29.45
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT ZOMBIES -
AND THIS IS THE TIME WHEN THERE
00:46:29.45\00:46:32.02
ARE GOING TO BE PEOPLE ON THE
EARTH THAT CAN'T DIE, THAT ARE
00:46:32.02\00:46:34.86
GOING TO BE PUT
TOGETHER LIKE THE LIVING DEAD,
00:46:34.86\00:46:36.99
AND I THOUGHT THAT
WAS VERY INTERESTING.
00:46:36.99\00:46:39.89
THAT'S - ALL THE WICKED ARE
RAISED AND WHEN THE DEVIL SEES
00:46:39.89\00:46:42.80
THIS VAST ARMY AND IN THE
THRONG, I MEAN, JUST THINK ABOUT
00:46:42.80\00:46:45.30
WHO'S GOING TO BE THERE - HE'LL
HAVE, PROBABLY, ALEXANDER THE
00:46:45.30\00:46:48.27
GREAT, JULIUS CAESAR, AND ADOLF
HITLER AND, YOU KNOW, YOU TAKE
00:46:48.27\00:46:51.17
ALL THE GENERALS THROUGH HISTORY
- CHARLEMAGNE - AND MOST OF THEM
00:46:51.17\00:46:54.28
ARE PROBABLY LOST - AND THEY
ARE GOING TO BEND ALL OF THEIR
00:46:54.28\00:46:59.25
ATTENTION - HE'S GOING TO SAY,
'THAT WAS MY CITY.' SATAN'S A
00:46:59.25\00:47:02.08
POWERFUL ANGEL. 'WE CAN TAKE IT
BACK!' - IT'S THEIR ONLY HOPE.
00:47:02.08\00:47:06.15
AND HE RALLIES THEM TO THIS ONE
DESPERATE, FUTILE ATTACK ON THE
00:47:06.15\00:47:10.33
CITY OF GOD. NOW THIS
IS AN INTERESTING POINT
00:47:10.33\00:47:14.13
IN HISTORY WHEN EVERYBODY MEETS
AGAIN AND - BUT NOT EVERYBODY
00:47:14.13\00:47:19.90
IS GOING TO BE SAVED. WHY
DON'T YOU READ FOR US THAT
00:47:19.90\00:47:21.97
NEXT VERSE THERE
IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 7?
00:47:21.97\00:47:25.87
>>"MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT
DAY, 'LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT
00:47:25.87\00:47:29.18
PROPHESIED IN YOUR NAME, CAST
OUT DEMONS IN YOUR NAME, AND
00:47:29.18\00:47:33.52
DONE MANY WONDERS IN YOUR NAME?'
AND THEN I WILL DECLARE TO THEM,
00:47:33.52\00:47:38.32
'I NEVER KNEW YOU;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
00:47:38.32\00:47:41.49
LAWLESSNESS!'"
>>SO THERE'S THIS LARGE
00:47:41.49\00:47:43.83
GROUP WHO THINK THEY'RE SAVED.
THEY SAY, 'LORD, LORD' - THEY
00:47:43.83\00:47:46.56
KNOW HIS NAME, BUT THEY'RE NOT.
AND HE SAYS, 'DEPART FROM ME,
00:47:46.56\00:47:50.73
YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS'
- YOU'RE WITHOUT THE LAW.
00:47:50.73\00:47:53.30
THE LORD - IF YOU GO TO MATTHEW
25, HE TELLS A PARABLE - NOW,
00:47:53.30\00:47:57.77
LET ME JUST READ THIS TO YOU,
VERSES 31 AND 32, "WHEN THE SON
00:47:57.77\00:48:01.11
OF MAN COMES IN HIS GLORY, AND
ALL THE HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM,
00:48:01.11\00:48:05.05
THEN HE WILL SIT ON
THE THRONE OF HIS GLORY.
00:48:05.05\00:48:07.72
ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE GATHERED
BEFORE HIM, AND HE WILL SEPARATE
00:48:07.72\00:48:12.62
THEM ONE FROM ANOTHER, AS A
SHEPHERD DIVIDES HIS SHEEP FROM
00:48:12.62\00:48:16.79
THE GOATS." THIS IS WHAT
THAT PARABLE IS TALKING ABOUT.
00:48:16.79\00:48:20.36
THIS IS THE TIME, AT THE END
OF THE 1,000 YEARS, WHEN CHRIST
00:48:20.36\00:48:23.13
MAKES A SEPARATION -
A PHYSICAL SEPARATION.
00:48:23.13\00:48:26.23
ALL OF THE SAVED WHO HAVE EVER
LIVED ARE IN THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:48:26.23\00:48:29.37
ALL OF THE LOST WHO HAVE EVER
LIVED ARE SEPARATED - THEY'RE ON
00:48:29.37\00:48:32.31
THE OUTSIDE. AND
SOME ON THE OUTSIDE ARE
00:48:32.31\00:48:35.48
SAYING, 'LORD,
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:48:35.48\00:48:36.95
WE THOUGHT...' - AND HE SAID,
'DEPART FROM ME, YE WHO WORK
00:48:36.95\00:48:39.41
INIQUITY.' AND THEY THINK,
'OUR ONLY HOPE IS TO LISTEN TO
00:48:39.41\00:48:42.55
LUCIFER WHO'S NOT GOING TO SAY
HE'S THE DEVIL, HE'LL SAY, 'NO,
00:48:42.55\00:48:45.39
I'M THE REAL PRINCE WHO DESERVES
THAT CITY. CHRIST'S AN IMPOSTER.
00:48:45.39\00:48:49.19
THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE.'
LUCIFER - HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL -
00:48:49.19\00:48:55.13
HE'S GOT GREAT HOPE BECAUSE HE
SEES - WHERE'S THE MAJORITY, IN
00:48:55.13\00:48:58.73
THE CITY OR OUTSIDE
THE CITY? >>OUTSIDE.
00:48:58.73\00:49:01.80
>>'FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT
- BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO
00:49:01.80\00:49:04.47
DESTRUCTION.' MANY GO DOWN THAT
ROAD AND SO, UNFORTUNATELY, THE
00:49:04.47\00:49:08.71
MAJORITY ARE ON THE OUTSIDE AND
THEY ARE GOING TO BE BILLIONS -
00:49:08.71\00:49:12.88
LITERALLY BILLIONS - A WAVING,
MOVING, SWARMING SEA OF HUMANITY
00:49:12.88\00:49:19.52
AND THE DEVIL IS GOING TO GIVE
ALL OF HIS STRENGTH AND SPIRIT
00:49:19.52\00:49:23.22
AND POWER TO THEM THAT HE
CAN AND THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO
00:49:23.22\00:49:26.33
SOMEHOW MOBILIZE. HOW LONG
THIS PERIOD IS I DON'T KNOW.
00:49:26.33\00:49:29.43
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TIME TO MAKE, YOU KNOW,
00:49:29.43\00:49:31.70
NUCLEAR WEAPONS OR
WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO.
00:49:31.70\00:49:33.37
THEY'RE GOING TO PROBABLY
FORGE SOME KIND OF WEAPONS, BUT
00:49:33.37\00:49:35.04
THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE WHATEVER
RESOURCES THEY'VE GOT AND TRY TO
00:49:35.04\00:49:37.44
PREPARE FOR THIS
ASSAULT ON THE CITY OF GOD.
00:49:37.44\00:49:40.98
AND JUST BEFORE THEY'RE READY TO
LAUNCH THAT ASSAULT, CHRIST WILL
00:49:40.98\00:49:44.98
BE EXALTED ABOVE THE CITY ON
A WHITE THRONE, IN THE GLORY OF
00:49:44.98\00:49:48.95
THE FATHER, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
PRESENT AND HE WILL CAUSE EVERY
00:49:48.95\00:49:54.89
KNEE TO BOW - YOU KNOW
THAT STORY - OR THAT VERSE?
00:49:54.89\00:49:57.99
IT SAYS, 'EVERY
TONGUE WILL CONFESS.
00:49:57.99\00:49:59.66
EVERY KNEE WILL BOW BEFORE
ME.' THAT'LL BE THE MOMENT WHEN
00:49:59.66\00:50:02.16
EVERYBODY IN THE CITY, OUTSIDE
THE CITY, GOOD ANGELS, FALLEN
00:50:02.16\00:50:06.23
ANGELS - EVERYBODY'S THERE.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN
00:50:06.23\00:50:10.07
NOW AND THEN, YOU AND I
WILL ALL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY.
00:50:10.07\00:50:13.14
HOPEFULLY WE'RE ALL IN
THE CITY TOGETHER, AMEN?
00:50:13.14\00:50:15.14
>>AMEN. >>BUT
WHETHER WE ARE, KNOW WE
00:50:15.14\00:50:16.68
WILL ALL MEET
AGAIN TOGETHER SOMEDAY.
00:50:16.68\00:50:18.65
THERE'S GOING TO BE A TIME WHERE
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED -
00:50:18.65\00:50:22.85
THAT ARE BELIEVERS IN THE CITY -
WILL GET TO LOOK OUT OF THE CITY
00:50:22.85\00:50:26.19
AND THEY WILL SEE WITH EYES THAT
ARE ENHANCED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:50:26.19\00:50:31.13
PEOPLE THAT
HAVE PERSECUTED THEM.
00:50:31.13\00:50:34.46
THE ROMAN SOLDIERS AND OTHERS
WHO PERSECUTED JESUS, THEY WILL
00:50:34.46\00:50:37.63
SEE THAT HE'S THE SON OF MAN.
THOSE WHO PERSECUTED PAUL, WHO
00:50:37.63\00:50:43.51
SNARLED AT HIS STEPS ALL ALONG
THROUGH HIS MINISTRY, THERE'S
00:50:43.51\00:50:47.18
GOING TO BE A
GREAT RECKONING TIME.
00:50:47.18\00:50:49.61
HOW LONG THAT'LL
LAST, I DON'T KNOW.
00:50:49.61\00:50:52.41
THE BIBLE SAYS SATAN
IS LOOSED FOR A SEASON.
00:50:52.41\00:50:55.45
THAT'S THE SAME TERM THAT'S USED
WHEN IT SAYS MOSES REFUSED TO BE
00:50:55.45\00:50:59.79
CALLED THE SON OF PHARAOH
BUT, INSTEAD, CHOSE TO SUFFER
00:50:59.79\00:51:02.46
AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE
OF GOD RATHER THAN TO ENJOY THE
00:51:02.46\00:51:05.33
PLEASURES OF SIN FOR A
SEASON. THERE A SEASON IS
00:51:05.33\00:51:08.50
LIKE A GENERATION. I
DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'LL BE.
00:51:08.50\00:51:12.13
AND, FINALLY THOUGH, WHEN
THEY'RE PREPARED TO LAUNCH THEIR
00:51:12.13\00:51:17.11
FUTILE ATTACK, THERE'S THIS
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.
00:51:17.11\00:51:21.21
NOW, OFTEN, WHEN WE THINK OF THE
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, WE
00:51:21.21\00:51:24.28
PICTURE A TIME WHEN YOU'VE GOT
THIS LINE THAT STRETCHES HALFWAY
00:51:24.28\00:51:27.08
AROUND THE PLANET - EVERYBODY'S
LINED UP - JESUS IS SITTING ON
00:51:27.08\00:51:30.52
HIS THRONE, THE BOOKS ARE OPEN,
ONE PERSON IS IN THE LIMELIGHT -
00:51:30.52\00:51:33.92
THE SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON THEM
- THEN, 'OKAY, LET'S SEE WHAT'S
00:51:33.92\00:51:36.12
GOING ON.' AND THEY ALL STUDY
THE BOOKS - 'GUILTY - INNOCENT'
00:51:36.12\00:51:38.89
- DO YOU KNOW HOW
LONG THAT WOULD TAKE?
00:51:38.89\00:51:40.50
CAN THE LORD SAVE A THOUSAND
PEOPLE ONE DAY, LIKE HE DID AT
00:51:40.50\00:51:43.30
PENTECOST? >>YES.
00:51:43.30\00:51:45.07
>>BY SPEAKING TO
EVERY HEART INDIVIDUALLY?
00:51:45.07\00:51:46.87
>>YES. >>THAT'S
KIND OF WHAT I THINK'S
00:51:46.87\00:51:48.47
GOING TO HAPPEN IN
THE WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.
00:51:48.47\00:51:50.31
EVERY PERSON WILL REALIZE
AND BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALL - THE
00:51:50.31\00:51:54.18
WHOLE WORLD IS LOOKING AT WHAT
THEY'RE DOING - BUT HE'S GOING
00:51:54.18\00:51:56.68
TO JUDGE MILLIONS AT A TIME AND
HE'LL HAVE A PANORAMA IN THE SKY
00:51:56.68\00:52:02.08
THAT WILL SHOW THEIR LIVES AND
IT WILL SHOW THE LIFE OF JESUS
00:52:02.08\00:52:05.22
AND EVERYTHING THAT HE DID TO
SAVE THEM AND EVERYTHING'S GOING
00:52:05.22\00:52:08.96
TO BE CLEAR. AND
FINALLY, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW
00:52:08.96\00:52:11.96
AND EVERY TONGUE WILL
CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD,
00:52:11.96\00:52:14.10
INCLUDING LUCIFER. AND
THEN, AFTER THAT MOMENT,
00:52:14.10\00:52:18.50
IN ONE DESPERATE ACT, HE STILL
TRIES TO RALLY THEM TO TAKE
00:52:18.50\00:52:22.17
THE CITY, BUT THEY
TURN ON HIM INSTEAD.
00:52:22.17\00:52:25.44
THEY REALIZE, AT
THAT POINT, IT'S FUTILE.
00:52:25.44\00:52:27.68
AND AT THAT POINT, THE
BIBLE SAYS GOD RAINS FIRE.
00:52:27.68\00:52:31.98
LET'S READ IT HERE. WE
JUST READ THIS ABOUT GOG AND
00:52:31.98\00:52:33.55
MAGOG - VERSE 9 - "THEY WENT
UP ON THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH
00:52:33.55\00:52:38.59
AND SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF
THE SAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY.
00:52:38.59\00:52:41.72
AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD
OUT OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM.
00:52:41.72\00:52:47.30
THE DEVIL, WHO DECEIVED THEM,
WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE
00:52:47.30\00:52:50.53
AND BRIMSTONE WHERE THE
BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE.
00:52:50.53\00:52:53.54
AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED
DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER."
00:52:53.54\00:52:56.57
AND, OF COURSE, WE KNOW THAT
MEANS THAT THEY ARE BURNT UP
00:52:56.57\00:52:58.87
FROM EON TO EON OR
UNTIL THEY ARE NO MORE.
00:52:58.87\00:53:02.71
AND THEN IT TALKS ABOUT THE
GREAT WHITE THRONE AND IT GETS
00:53:02.71\00:53:05.98
INTO THAT JUDGMENT. SO,
I WANT TO END ON A HAPPY
00:53:05.98\00:53:08.78
NOTE AND I ONLY
HAVE A MINUTE OR TWO.
00:53:08.78\00:53:10.92
IT TALKS ABOUT A NEW HEAVEN
AND A NEW EARTH - REVELATION 21,
00:53:10.92\00:53:13.56
VERSE 1 - "I SAW A NEW HEAVEN
AND A NEW EARTH, FOR THE FIRST
00:53:13.56\00:53:17.76
HEAVEN AND THE FIRST
EARTH HAD PASSED AWAY."
00:53:17.76\00:53:19.66
YOU FIND THAT PHRASE MENTIONED,
ALSO, IN 2 PETER 3, VERSE 13,
00:53:19.66\00:53:24.93
"NEVERTHELESS WE, ACCORDING
TO HIS PROMISE, LOOK FOR NEW
00:53:24.93\00:53:27.60
HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH IN
WHICH RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS."
00:53:27.60\00:53:32.11
BLESSED ARE THE
MEEK - THEY WILL DO WHAT?
00:53:32.11\00:53:34.14
>>INHERIT THE
EARTH. >>INHERIT THE EARTH.
00:53:34.14\00:53:36.11
WHAT KIND OF
EARTH? >>THE NEW EARTH.
00:53:36.11\00:53:37.91
>>THE ONE THAT WE
HAVE TODAY OR A NEW HEAVEN?
00:53:37.91\00:53:39.55
A NEW EARTH? GOD MADE EVERYTHING
00:53:39.55\00:53:41.92
PERFECT IN THE
BEGINNING. HE'LL RESTORE THAT.
00:53:41.92\00:53:44.92
YOU CAN READ IN ISAIAH 65, 'FOR
BEHOLD, I CREATE A NEW HEAVENS
00:53:44.92\00:53:48.29
AND A NEW EARTH.' AND THIS ONE -
IT SAYS THERE ARE NO MORE TEARS
00:53:48.29\00:53:52.09
- REVELATION - WE READ THIS
IN OUR - OUR EARLIER VERSE - 'I
00:53:52.09\00:53:56.00
HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAY,
'AND BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF
00:53:56.00\00:53:58.67
GOD IS WITH MEN. HE
WILL DWELL WITH THEM.
00:53:58.67\00:54:01.50
THEY WILL BE HIS PEOPLE.
GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH THEM
00:54:01.50\00:54:04.54
AND BE THEIR GOD AND GOD'LL
WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR
00:54:04.54\00:54:08.14
EYES.' SIMILAR VERSE IN ISAIAH
25:8, "HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH
00:54:08.14\00:54:13.55
FOREVER, AND THE LORD GOD WILL
WIPE AWAY TEARS FROM ALL FACES;
00:54:13.55\00:54:18.42
THE REBUKE OF HIS PEOPLE HE
WILL TAKE AWAY..." AND THE MOST
00:54:18.42\00:54:22.16
WONDERFUL THING, THEN, IS GOD
HIMSELF LIVES WITH US. IT SAYS
00:54:22.16\00:54:26.80
THEY WILL SEE HIS FACE.
YOU KNOW, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
00:54:26.80\00:54:30.33
GOD SAID TO MOSES IN EXODUS
33, 'NO MAN CAN SEE MY FACE AND
00:54:30.33\00:54:35.44
LIVE.' BECAUSE WE HAVE SIN.
BUT AT THAT POINT, OUR SINS ARE
00:54:35.44\00:54:39.91
WASHED AWAY, WE ARE RIGHTEOUS IN
HIS SIGHT, AND WE WILL BE ABLE
00:54:39.91\00:54:43.91
TO SEE HIM. IT SAYS BLESSED ARE
THE PURE IN HEART FOR WHAT WILL
00:54:43.91\00:54:46.85
THEY SEE? >>GOD.
00:54:46.85\00:54:48.85
>>THEY WILL SEE GOD - AND I WANT
TO BE IN THAT CITY AND HAVE MY
00:54:48.85\00:54:50.99
TEARS WASHED AWAY
AND SEE GOD FACE TO FACE.
00:54:50.99\00:54:53.25
AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:54:53.25\00:54:54.62
>>IT SAYS THE PURE
IN HEART WILL HAVE THAT.
00:54:54.62\00:54:56.46
WE NEED TO LET HIM
PURIFY OUR HEARTS, AMEN?
00:54:56.46\00:54:59.66
THANK YOU FOR STUDYING WITH US,
FRIENDS, I WANT TO REMIND YOU
00:54:59.66\00:55:01.63
THAT NEXT WEEK WE'LL BEGIN OUR
STUDY IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW.
00:55:01.63\00:55:05.63
AND OUR GIFT - THAT I NEVER
MENTIONED TODAY - WE HAVE A - OR

WATCH HOW EASY IT IS. I
JUST STEPPED INTO YESTERDAY.
00:56:16.00\00:56:20.34
NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT GOING
BACK TO THE FUTURE OR BACK IN
00:56:20.34\00:56:23.35
HISTORY; I HAPPEN TO BE STANDING
HERE IN TAVEUNI, FIJI, ONE OF
00:56:23.35\00:56:27.38
THE ONLY PLACES IN THE WORLD
WHERE THE INTERNATIONAL MERIDIAN
00:56:27.38\00:56:30.75
DATELINE RUNS
THROUGH A PIECE OF LAND.
00:56:30.75\00:56:33.82
PEOPLE HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN
ABLE TO PLAY WITH TIME THIS WAY.
00:56:33.82\00:56:36.79
BACK IN 1878, SIR
SANDFORD FLEMING, A CANADIAN, HE
00:56:36.79\00:56:40.93
RECOMMENDED TO THE SCIENCE
COMMUNITY OF THE WORLD THAT THE
00:56:40.93\00:56:43.90
GLOBE BE DIVIDED IN 24 EVEN
SEGMENTS, EACH SEPARATED BY 15
00:56:43.90\00:56:48.40
DEGREES OF LONGITUDE, THAT WOULD
ESTABLISH THE INTERNATIONAL TIME
00:56:48.40\00:56:52.44
SYSTEM. IN 1884,
THERE WAS A PRIME
00:56:52.44\00:56:55.31
MERIDIAN CONFERENCE HELD IN
WASHINGTON, D.C., TO STANDARDIZE
00:56:55.31\00:56:58.78
TIME AND SELECT A POINT FOR
THE PRIME MERIDIAN, WHICH WOULD
00:56:58.78\00:57:02.55
BE ZERO DEGREES ON THE GLOBE.
IT ENDED UP BEING GREENWICH,
00:57:02.55\00:57:05.85
ENGLAND, BUT
THAT'S NOT WHERE WE ARE.
00:57:05.85\00:57:07.89
WE ARE ON THE POLAR OPPOSITE
SIDE OF THE PLANET RIGHT NOW,
00:57:07.89\00:57:10.69
BUT WE'RE GOING TO STEP
INTO THE FUTURE - WANT TO COME?
00:57:10.69\00:57:14.20
AND LOOK AT THAT, THE LORD
IS STILL WITH US, EVEN HERE.
00:57:14.20\00:57:18.10
HE'LL CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF
YOU, FRIENDS, WHEREVER YOU GO.
00:57:18.10\00:57:21.04
FRIENDS, DO YOU SOMETIMES
WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE?
00:57:21.04\00:57:23.14
WHAT WILL YOU EAT?
WILL YOU HAVE A HOME?
00:57:23.14\00:57:25.14
ARE YOU GOING TO
STILL HAVE YOUR JOB?
00:57:25.14\00:57:27.04
WHAT WILL YOU WEAR?
JESUS TELLS US IN MATTHEW
00:57:27.04\00:57:29.98
CHAPTER 6, VERSES 25 THROUGH
34, 'DON'T TAKE THOUGHT FOR
00:57:29.98\00:57:33.82
TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL
TAKE THOUGHT FOR THE THINGS OF
00:57:33.82\00:57:36.38
ITSELF.' HE TELLS US THAT HE
FEEDS THE BIRDS AND HE CLOTHES
00:57:36.38\00:57:40.02
THE FLOWERS -
HE'LL TAKE CARE OF US.
00:57:40.02\00:57:42.56
WE KNOW THAT GOD'LL WATCH
OVER US, FORGIVES THE PAST, HE
00:57:42.56\00:57:46.16
PROMISES TO BE WITH US IN THE
PRESENT, AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO
00:57:46.16\00:57:49.53
LEAD US IN THE FUTURE - BUT
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO GIVE YOURSELF
00:57:49.53\00:57:52.63
TO HIM. I INVITE YOU TO
DO THAT RIGHT NOW. (MUSIC)
