THRO' ALL THE EARTH
ABROAD THE HONORS OF THY NAME.

00:03:03.51\00:03:07.42
THAT BIDS OUR SORROWS CEASE,
'TIS MUSIC IN THE SINNER'S EARS,

'TIS LIFE, AND
HEALTH, AND PEACE.
00:03:14.92\00:03:19.09
HE BREAKS THE POWER OF CANCELED
SIN, HE SETS THE PRISONER FREE;
00:03:19.09\00:03:26.57
HIS BLOOD CAN MAKE THE FOULEST
CLEAN; HIS BLOOD AVAILED FOR ME.

HIS VOICE, NEW LIFE THE DEAD

BREAKS THE POWER OF CANCELED
SIN, HE SETS THE PRISONER FREE;"
00:04:13.48\00:04:18.62

00:04:21.92\00:04:26.93

00:07:24.71\00:07:41.36
>>I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN
POSSIBLY SING THAT HYMN WITHOUT
00:07:41.36\00:07:43.76
SMILING. AT THIS
TIME, PASTOR ROSS WILL
00:07:43.76\00:07:46.23
COME AND LEAD US IN PRAYER.
>>I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO
00:07:46.23\00:07:55.40
BOW YOUR HEADS FOR PRAYER.
DEAR FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU
00:07:55.40\00:07:58.21
FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ABLE
TO OPEN UP YOUR WORD AND STUDY.
00:07:58.21\00:08:01.01
AND TONIGHT - OR TODAY - AGAIN,
WE WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR HOLY
00:08:01.01\00:08:03.28
SPIRIT TO COME AND GUIDE
OUR HEARTS AND OUR MINDS.
00:08:03.28\00:08:05.85
LORD, THESE ARE IMPORTANT TRUTHS
THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE STUDYING
00:08:05.85\00:08:08.52
TOGETHER - THE WORDS OF JESUS
- ISSUES RELATING TO THE LAST
00:08:08.52\00:08:11.55
DAYS, SO WE ASK FOR WISDOM AND
GUIDANCE, IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
00:08:11.55\00:08:15.86
OUR LESSON THIS MORNING IS GOING
TO BE BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR
00:08:15.86\00:08:18.29
DOUG. >>GOOD
MORNING, FRIENDS, AND YOU
00:08:18.29\00:08:24.33
ALREADY HEARD MENTION THAT WE
DO HAVE A SPECIAL OFFER TALKING
00:08:24.33\00:08:27.64
ABOUT THE SECOND COMING CALLED
THE ULTIMATE DELIVERANCE AND
00:08:27.64\00:08:31.04
ANYBODY THAT ASKS FOR THIS (IN
NORTH AMERICA) WE'LL SENT IT TO
00:08:31.04\00:08:33.07
YOU. IT'S OFFER #105
00:08:33.07\00:08:34.61
- AND CALL 866-788-3966
AND WE'LL SEND THAT TO YOU.
00:08:34.61\00:08:38.68
I'M EXCITED TODAY
BECAUSE IF EVER THERE WAS A TIME
00:08:38.68\00:08:42.15
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS COULD GET
EXCITED ABOUT A BIBLE STUDY, IT
00:08:42.15\00:08:44.85
WOULD BE THE ONE ABOUT THE
ADVENT, MATTHEW CHAPTER 24 -
00:08:44.85\00:08:49.06
THE SIGNS OF HIS
RETURN . AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
00:08:49.06\00:08:50.66
DEALING WITH THAT TODAY. WE
HAVE SEVERAL SCRIPTURES WE'RE
00:08:50.66\00:08:55.30
GOING TO BE ASKING
SOME FOLKS TO READ.
00:08:55.30\00:08:58.03
HOPEFULLY YOU'VE GOT YOUR BIBLES
WITH US - WITH YOU - AND WE'VE
00:08:58.03\00:09:00.47
GOT A MEMORY VERSE. THE
MEMORY VERSE IS FROM MATTHEW
00:09:00.47\00:09:03.17
23:12 - 23:12 - AND IT'S
IN THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION
00:09:03.17\00:09:08.14
RIGHT THERE IN
YOUR LESSON. YOU READY?
00:09:08.14\00:09:10.58
"AND WHOEVER EXALTS HIMSELF WILL
BE HUMBLED, AND HE WHO HUMBLES
00:09:10.58\00:09:16.28
HIMSELF WILL BE EXALTED."
ANYONE HERE DISCOVERED THAT'S
00:09:16.28\00:09:20.16
TRUE IN YOUR OWN LIFE?
YEAH, THAT IS A PRINCIPLE
00:09:20.16\00:09:24.19
THAT NEVER SEEMS TO FAIL.
NOW, OUR ASSIGNMENT TODAY, LET'S
00:09:24.19\00:09:28.96
JUST MAKE IT SIMPLE BECAUSE
SOMETIMES, AS WE'RE GOING
00:09:28.96\00:09:31.03
THROUGH THE BOOK OF MATTHEW,
WE STRUGGLE TO MAKE SURE
00:09:31.03\00:09:33.64
WE GET THROUGH IT.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO STUDY
00:09:33.64\00:09:36.24
MATTHEW 23 AND 24.
THERE IS A LOT THERE.
00:09:36.24\00:09:40.04
I HAVE SEEN EVANGELISTS
TAKE THREE NIGHTS TO TALK ABOUT
00:09:40.04\00:09:43.41
MATTHEW 24 AND SO WE'LL DO
OUR BEST TO READ THROUGH IT.
00:09:43.41\00:09:47.82
GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND,
JUST TO SET UP WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:09:47.82\00:09:50.19
YOU REMEMBER LAST WEEK IT TALKED
ABOUT JESUS COMING TO JERUSALEM
00:09:50.19\00:09:54.29
DURING WHAT THEY
CALLED 'THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY'.
00:09:54.29\00:09:57.99
AND THEN HE GOT INTO THE TEMPLE
AND HE CHASED OUT THE MONEY
00:09:57.99\00:10:00.93
CHANGERS AND THAT CAUSED NO
SMALL DEGREE OF CONSTERNATION
00:10:00.93\00:10:04.93
AMONG THE SCRIBES AND THE
PHARISEES AND THE SADDUCEES THAT
00:10:04.93\00:10:08.04
WERE THERE. IN
MATTHEW 23, NOW, THERE IS AN
00:10:08.04\00:10:12.94
ONGOING DEBATE - HE'S
HEARD ALL THE RESISTANCE AND THE
00:10:12.94\00:10:16.51
CHALLENGES THAT HAVE COME FROM
THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES.
00:10:16.51\00:10:20.48
AFTER HE CHASED OUT THE
MONEY CHANGERS THEY WERE ALREADY
00:10:20.48\00:10:23.08
OUTRAGED. AND
THEN THE CHILDREN WERE
00:10:23.08\00:10:25.62
SAYING, 'HOSANNA TO THE SON OF
DAVID.' THEY SAID, 'TELL THEM TO
00:10:25.62\00:10:28.56
BE QUIET.' JESUS SAID, 'WELL,
EVEN THE VERY STONES WOULD CRY
00:10:28.56\00:10:30.99
OUT.' AND THEN
THEY BEGAN TO CHALLENGE
00:10:30.99\00:10:34.03
HIM ON SEVERAL
FRONTS. AND AFTER THIS ONGOING
00:10:34.03\00:10:38.70
RESISTANCE, JESUS
COULD STAND IT NO LONGER.
00:10:38.70\00:10:42.34
HE THEN, BASICALLY, WARNS
THE LISTENING CROWD ABOUT THE
00:10:42.34\00:10:47.68
HYPOCRISY OF THE
SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES.
00:10:47.68\00:10:50.75
SO, MATTHEW 23,
LET'S DIVE RIGHT IN HERE.
00:10:50.75\00:10:53.38
THIS IS UNDER THE
SECTION BLIND GUIDES .
00:10:53.38\00:10:57.42
"THEN JESUS SPOKE TO THE
MULTITUDES AND TO HIS DISCIPLES,
00:10:57.42\00:11:01.06
SAYING: 'THE SCRIBES AND THE
PHARISEES SIT IN MOSES' SEAT.'"
00:11:01.06\00:11:05.36
- WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT IS
THEY'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY OF
00:11:05.36\00:11:07.10
LEADERSHIP THAT MOSES ONCE HAD
- "'THEREFORE WHATEVER THEY TELL
00:11:07.10\00:11:10.10
YOU TO OBSERVE,'" - THEY'RE IN
A POSITION OF AUTHORITY, RESPECT
00:11:10.10\00:11:12.97
THAT - "'THAT OBSERVE AND DO,
BUT DO NOT DO ACCORDING TO THEIR
00:11:12.97\00:11:16.04
WORKS; FOR THEY
SAY, AND DO NOT DO.
00:11:16.04\00:11:18.97
FOR THEY BIND HEAVY BURDENS,
HARD TO BEAR, AND LAY THEM ON
00:11:18.97\00:11:22.38
MEN'S SHOULDERS; BUT THEY
THEMSELVES WILL NOT MOVE THEM
00:11:22.38\00:11:24.61
WITH ONE OF THEIR FINGERS.
BUT ALL THEIR WORKS THEY
00:11:24.61\00:11:27.55
DO TO BE SEEN BY MEN.
THEY MAKE THEIR PHYLACTERIES
00:11:27.55\00:11:30.85
BROAD AND ENLARGE THE
BORDERS OF THEIR GARMENTS.
00:11:30.85\00:11:33.96
THEY LOVE THE BEST PLACES AT
FEASTS, THE BEST SEATS IN THE
00:11:33.96\00:11:37.09
SYNAGOGUES,'" - YOU KNOW, WHO
WAS EVER BY THE GUEST OF HONOR
00:11:37.09\00:11:40.23
AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE, THAT
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN HONORABLE
00:11:40.23\00:11:43.10
POSITION AND WHEN THERE
WAS FEAST, THEY ALL JOSTLED FOR
00:11:43.10\00:11:45.90
THOSE PLACES AND IT BECAME VERY
OBVIOUS HOW THEY WERE FIGHTING
00:11:45.90\00:11:49.80
FOR THE CHIEF SEATS - THEY
LOVED THE BEST PLACES AND THE -
00:11:49.80\00:11:56.01
"'GREETINGS IN THE'" - AND
BY THE WAY, BEFORE I LEAVE THE
00:11:56.01\00:11:57.75
SEATS, YOU KNOW, JESUS TOLD A
PARABLE ABOUT WHEN YOU GO TO A
00:11:57.75\00:12:01.38
FEAST AND THERE
ARE SEATS OF HONOR.
00:12:01.38\00:12:03.49
HE SAID, 'INSTEAD OF GOING AND
FIGHTING FOR THE HIGHEST SEAT OF
00:12:03.49\00:12:06.69
HONOR, GO TO THE LOWEST AND
MAYBE THE HOST WILL COME TO YOU
00:12:06.69\00:12:10.86
AND SAY, 'OH, NO, NO. YOU
DON'T SIT DOWN HERE AT THE
00:12:10.86\00:12:13.13
LOW SPOT, YOU SIT UP HERE
AT THIS - WE'VE GOT A RESERVED
00:12:13.13\00:12:16.06
SPOT.' HE SAYS IT'S BETTER
THAT YOU'RE HONORED IN FRONT OF
00:12:16.06\00:12:18.47
OTHERS, NOT BECAUSE
YOU'RE CLAMORING FOR IT.
00:12:18.47\00:12:21.40
BUT HOW HUMILIATING FOR YOU TO
BE JOSTLING FOR THE CHIEF SEAT
00:12:21.40\00:12:24.24
AND SOMEONE SAY,
'THAT'S NOT FOR YOU.
00:12:24.24\00:12:25.97
THAT'S RESERVED
FOR SOMEONE IMPORTANT.
00:12:25.97\00:12:27.78
YOU SIT DOWN HERE.' - AND THEY
LOVED THE "'GREETINGS IN THE
00:12:27.78\00:12:32.65
MARKETPLACES, AND TO BE CALLED
BY MEN, 'RABBI, RABBI.''" - OR
00:12:32.65\00:12:36.55
PH.D. - DOCTOR - CONGRESSMAN
- SENATOR - JUST TO HAVE THIS -
00:12:36.55\00:12:43.89
THESE TITLES OF HONOR - "'BUT
YOU, DO NOT BE CALLED 'RABBI';
00:12:43.89\00:12:49.43
FOR ONE IS YOUR TEACHER,
THE CHRIST, AND YOU ARE ALL
00:12:49.43\00:12:53.03
BRETHREN. DO NOT CALL ANYONE
ON EARTH YOUR FATHER; FOR ONE IS
00:12:53.03\00:12:57.14
YOUR FATHER, HE WHO IS IN
HEAVEN.'" - NOW, WHEN THEY SAID
00:12:57.14\00:12:59.74
THIS, FIRST OF ALL, DO WE HAVE
CASES IN THE WORLD TODAY WHERE
00:12:59.74\00:13:02.51
PEOPLE CALL RELIGIOUS LEADERS
'FATHER'? IS JESUS PRETTY CLEAR?
00:13:02.51\00:13:06.35
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
DO THAT. WHY DID THEY DO IT?
00:13:06.35\00:13:09.85
WELL, CAN YOU THINK OF AN OLD
TESTAMENT TIME WHERE THEY CALLED
00:13:09.85\00:13:12.59
THE RELIGIOUS LEADER FATHER?
FATHER ABRAHAM - THAT'S TRUE,
00:13:12.59\00:13:18.39
THERE ARE PLACES
THAT THAT IS TRUE.
00:13:18.39\00:13:23.00
THEY CALLED ABRAHAM THEIR FATHER
BUT, I MEAN, DID THEY CALL - DID
00:13:23.00\00:13:26.17
PEOPLE CALL ABRAHAM THEIR
FATHER WHILE ABRAHAM WAS ALIVE?
00:13:26.17\00:13:30.67
WHEN - WHEN ELIJAH WENT TO
HEAVEN, WHAT DID ELISHA SAY?
00:13:30.67\00:13:36.64
'MY FATHER, MY FATHER,
THE CHARIOT OF ISRAEL AND THE
00:13:36.64\00:13:39.28
HORSEMEN THEREOF.' WELL, THAT
WASN'T SO BAD BECAUSE ELIJAH HAD
00:13:39.28\00:13:43.05
SORT OF ADOPTED ELISHA, BUT WHEN
ELISHA DIED, WHAT DID THE KING
00:13:43.05\00:13:47.66
OF ISRAEL SAY? 'MY
FATHER, MY FATHER, THE
00:13:47.66\00:13:51.06
CHARIOT OF ISRAEL AND THE
HORSEMEN THEREOF.' THEY BEGAN TO
00:13:51.06\00:13:54.10
CALL THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS AND THE PROPHETS FATHER.
00:13:54.10\00:13:56.70
NOW GOD NEVER REALLY
TOLD THEM TO DO THIS.
00:13:56.70\00:13:59.37
AND THEY ALL LOVED TO BE CALLED
SPIRITUAL FATHER AND HE SAID,
00:13:59.37\00:14:04.54
'LOOK, YOU'VE GOT ONE FATHER
IN HEAVEN.' SO THERE'S A PRETTY
00:14:04.54\00:14:07.31
CLEAR BIBLE
MANDATE NOT TO DO THIS.
00:14:07.31\00:14:10.11
BUT IT'S DONE A LOT IN
THE WORLD TODAY, ISN'T IT? -
00:14:10.11\00:14:13.88
"'AND DO NOT BE CALLED
TEACHERS; FOR ONE IS YOUR
00:14:13.88\00:14:16.35
TEACHER, THE CHRIST.
BUT HE WHO IS GREATEST AMONG
00:14:16.35\00:14:19.25
YOU SHALL BE YOUR SERVANT.
AND WHOEVER EXALTS HIMSELF WILL
00:14:19.25\00:14:21.82
BE HUMBLED,'" - THIS IS
OUR MEMORY VERSE - "'AND HE WHO
00:14:21.82\00:14:24.03
HUMBLES HIMSELF WILL BE
EXALTED.'" NOW, WHY DID IT
00:14:24.03\00:14:27.60
GRIEVE THE LORD SO MUCH THAT
THE CHURCH HAD FALLEN FOR SO
00:14:27.60\00:14:30.70
MUCH EXTERNAL DISPLAY? IN
A MOMENT, SOMEONE'S GOING TO
00:14:30.70\00:14:35.64
READ FOR US MATTHEW CHAPTER
6:1 - WHO WILL HAVE THAT? OKAY.
00:14:35.64\00:14:40.41
I'M GOING TO READ TO YOU EXODUS
19 - AND THIS IS IN YOUR LESSON
00:14:40.41\00:14:43.01
- EXODUS 19:5, "'NOW THEREFORE,
IF YOU WILL INDEED OBEY MY VOICE
00:14:43.01\00:14:48.02
AND KEEP MY COVENANT, THEN YOU
SHALL BE A SPECIAL TREASURE TO
00:14:48.02\00:14:51.69
ME ABOVE ALL PEOPLE;
FOR THE EARTH IS MINE.
00:14:51.69\00:14:55.59
AND YOU SHALL BE TO ME A KINGDOM
OF PRIESTS AND A HOLY NATION.'
00:14:55.59\00:14:59.76
THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT
YOU'LL SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN OF
00:14:59.76\00:15:01.83
ISRAEL." HE WANTED
THEM TO BE A NATION
00:15:01.83\00:15:04.17
OF KINGS AND PRIESTS, BUT THE
CLOSEST THEY GOT TO FULFILLING
00:15:04.17\00:15:07.80
THIS GOAL WAS WHEN, DURING THE
TIME OF SOLOMON, WHEN ALL THE
00:15:07.80\00:15:14.11
NATIONS, LIKE THE QUEEN OF
SHEBA, WERE COMING TO JERUSALEM
00:15:14.11\00:15:17.55
TO FIND OUT ABOUT GOD - AND ALL
OF THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY MET IN
00:15:17.55\00:15:21.95
THE TRADE - BECAUSE, YOU SEE,
JERUSALEM - GOD STRATEGICALLY
00:15:21.95\00:15:24.42
PUT ISRAEL ON A LAND BRIDGE
BETWEEN THREE CONTINENTS - ASIA,
00:15:24.42\00:15:30.36
EUROPE, AND AFRICA ALL KIND OF
INTERSECTED THERE - AND SO THE
00:15:30.36\00:15:35.06
TRADE FROM THE WORLD - THEY
DIDN'T ALL USE AIRCRAFT BACK
00:15:35.06\00:15:38.47
THERE. WHEN YOU
TRAVELED, YOU WENT ON
00:15:38.47\00:15:39.80
FOOT OR BY CAMEL OR BY DONKEY OR
BY HORSE OR WHATEVER, BUT THEY
00:15:39.80\00:15:46.07
WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE PEOPLE
OF ISRAEL AS THEY TRAVELED
00:15:46.07\00:15:49.41
THROUGH THESE CONTINENTS.
THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WERE TO BE
00:15:49.41\00:15:52.51
A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS
THAT TALKED ABOUT JEHOVAH.
00:15:52.51\00:15:55.38
AND, ESPECIALLY DURING THE TIME
OF SOLOMON, THEY SAW HOW BLESSED
00:15:55.38\00:15:58.99
THE PEOPLE WERE, HOW WISE THE
KING WAS, HOW CLEAN THE KINGDOM
00:15:58.99\00:16:02.92
WAS, HOW HOLY THE PEOPLE WERE,
AND THEY BECAME A NATION OF
00:16:02.92\00:16:06.86
PRIESTS. THAT WAS GOD'S
DESIGN. AND ALL NATIONS CAME TO
00:16:06.86\00:16:11.10
FIND OUT ABOUT THE TRUE GOD.
LOOK HOW GOD HAD BLESSED THEM.
00:16:11.10\00:16:14.14
AND THEIR LAWS - MOSES SAID -
THEY WOULD SAY, 'WHAT NATION HAS
00:16:14.14\00:16:18.04
LAWS LIKE THESE JUST LAWS?'
AND EVERYONE WOULD BE IMPRESSED.
00:16:18.04\00:16:23.38
WELL, THEY'D
FALLEN VERY FAR FROM THAT.
00:16:23.38\00:16:24.95
NOW THEY WERE OCCUPIED BECAUSE
OF THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS, BY
00:16:24.95\00:16:28.02
ANOTHER NATION, AND ALL OF
THE RELIGION WAS ABOUT GREED AND
00:16:28.02\00:16:32.65
PRETENSE, AND IT
BROKE THE LORD'S HEART.
00:16:32.65\00:16:35.86
THIS WAS NOT
GOD'S PLAN FOR THEM.
00:16:35.86\00:16:37.89
WE'RE GOING BACK TO MATTHEW
23. NOW HE STARTS TO GET PRETTY
00:16:37.89\00:16:41.83
SERIOUS. VERSE 13, "BUT WOE
TO YOU, SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,
00:16:41.83\00:16:47.34
HYPOCRITES!" - NOT VERY
NICE. HE'S CALLING THEM NAMES.
00:16:47.34\00:16:51.94
WELL, HE HAD TEARS IN HIS VOICE
WHEN HE DID IT - "FOR YOU SHUT
00:16:51.94\00:16:55.64
UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST
MEN; FOR YOU NEITHER GO IN
00:16:55.64\00:16:59.51
YOURSELVES, NOR DO YOU ALLOW
THOSE WHO ARE ENTERING TO GO
00:16:59.51\00:17:02.45
IN." BY THEIR HYPOCRISY
THEY WERE BLOCKING PEOPLE.
00:17:02.45\00:17:06.12
- "WOE TO YOU, SCRIBES
AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!"
00:17:06.12\00:17:08.62
- NOW THIS WOULD INCLUDE
THE SADDUCEES - "FOR YOU DEVOUR
00:17:08.62\00:17:11.16
WIDOWS' HOUSES, AND FOR A
PRETENSE MAKE LONG PRAYERS.
00:17:11.16\00:17:14.76
THEREFORE YOU WILL
RECEIVE GREATER CONDEMNATION."
00:17:14.76\00:17:18.30
- WHAT DID HE MEAN,
'YOU DEVOUR WIDOWS' HOUSES'?
00:17:18.30\00:17:21.07
THEY USED THEIR RELIGIOUS
PRETENSE TO TELL THE WIDOWS,
00:17:21.07\00:17:23.97
'WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANT GOD,
YOU KNOW, TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS
00:17:23.97\00:17:26.27
AND TO BLESS YOUR CHILDREN, YOU
NEED TO SIGN OVER YOUR PROPERTY
00:17:26.27\00:17:28.61
TO US.' AND THEN THEY'D PRAY
LONG PRAYERS TO LOOK RELIGIOUS -
00:17:28.61\00:17:32.95
TO COVER IT. AND HE
SAID YOU HAVE GREATER
00:17:32.95\00:17:35.25
CONDEMNATION BECAUSE YOU'RE
STEALING UNDER A RELIGIOUS
00:17:35.25\00:17:39.82
PRETENSE - "SCRIBES
AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!
00:17:39.82\00:17:45.03
FOR YOU DEVOUR WIDOWS' HOUSES."
- VERSE 15 - "WOE TO YOU,
00:17:45.03\00:17:47.60
SCRIBES AND
PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.60
FOR YOU TRAVEL LAND AND
SEA TO WIN ONE PROSELYTE," - A
00:17:49.60\00:17:53.07
PROSELYTE IS A CONVERT TO THE
JEWISH FAITH - "AND WHEN HE IS
00:17:53.07\00:17:56.27
WON, YOU MAKE HIM TWICE AS MUCH
A SON OF HELL AS YOURSELVES."
00:17:56.27\00:18:00.14
- BECAUSE CONVERTS ARE OFTEN
MORE ENTHUSIASTIC THAN ORIGINALS
00:18:00.14\00:18:04.58
- "WOE TO YOU, BLIND GUIDES,
WHO SAY, 'WHOEVER SWEARS BY THE
00:18:04.58\00:18:07.82
TEMPLE, IT IS NOTHING; BUT
WHOEVER SWEARS BY THE GOLD OF
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.12
THE TEMPLE, HE IS OBLIGED TO
PERFORM IT.' FOOLS AND BLIND!
00:18:10.12\00:18:14.32
FOR WHICH IS GREATER, THE GOLD
OR THE TEMPLE THAT SANCTIFIES
00:18:14.32\00:18:16.96
THE GOLD? AND,
'WHOEVER SWEARS BY THE
00:18:16.96\00:18:20.43
ALTAR, IT IS NOTHING; BUT
WHOEVER SWEARS BY THE GIFT THAT
00:18:20.43\00:18:23.50
IS ON IT, HE IS OBLIGED TO
PERFORM IT.' FOOLS AND BLIND!
00:18:23.50\00:18:27.24
FOR WHICH IS GREATER, THE GIFT
OR THE ALTAR THAT SANCTIFIES THE
00:18:27.24\00:18:29.64
GIFT?" CAN YOU
UNDERSTAND THE - THE
00:18:29.64\00:18:33.21
ABSURDITY OF WHAT WAS GOING ON?
THEY WOULD MAKE VOWS AND THEY
00:18:33.21\00:18:35.98
WOULD SWEAR AND SAY, 'WELL, I
SWEAR BY THE ALTAR.' 'OH, THAT
00:18:35.98\00:18:39.11
DOESN'T MATTER AS MUCH AS IF YOU
SWEAR BY THE GIFT ON THE ALTAR.'
00:18:39.11\00:18:42.58
THAT'S KIND OF LIKE WHEN SOMEONE
SAYS, 'I MAKE A PROMISE' BUT
00:18:42.58\00:18:46.15
YOU'VE GOT YOUR FINGERS
CROSSED BEHIND YOUR BACK.
00:18:46.15\00:18:48.59
ANY OF YOU REMEMBER
THAT? THAT MEANS THE
00:18:48.59\00:18:50.06
PROMISE DOESN'T COUNT.
ANYONE REMEMBER THAT? YEAH.
00:18:50.06\00:18:54.20
OR YOU'D SAY, 'I
SWEAR' - THAT DOESN'T COUNT.
00:18:54.20\00:18:56.87
BUT IF YOU SWEAR ON YOUR
MOTHER'S GRAVE, THEN IT'S
00:18:56.87\00:18:59.00
SERIOUS. YOU KNOW? AND
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, 'LET
00:18:59.00\00:19:03.37
YOUR YEA BE YEA
AND YOUR NAY BE NAY.'
00:19:03.37\00:19:06.44
IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN,
EVERYTHING YOU SAY SHOULD BE
00:19:06.44\00:19:09.71
TELLING THE TRUTH.
NOW, IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG
00:19:09.71\00:19:12.58
WITH TAKING AN
OATH IF YOU'RE IN COURT?
00:19:12.58\00:19:16.89
OUR FRIENDS THE JEHOVAH'S
WITNESSES BELIEVE THAT THESE
00:19:16.89\00:19:19.12
VERSES ARE A MANDATE AGAINST
EVEN TAKING ANY KIND OF A FORMAL
00:19:19.12\00:19:22.72
OATH BEFORE YOU GIVE
TESTIMONY. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS
00:19:22.72\00:19:26.19
IS TALKING ABOUT. JESUS
IS SAYING, IN ALL OF YOUR
00:19:26.19\00:19:28.66
COMMUNICATION YOUR YES SHOULD
BE YES AND YOUR NO SHOULD BE NO.
00:19:28.66\00:19:32.03
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ
FOR US MATTHEW 6, VERSE 1.
00:19:32.03\00:19:36.47
>>"TAKE HEED THAT YOU DO NOT
DO YOUR CHARITABLE DEEDS BEFORE
00:19:36.47\00:19:40.51
MEN, TO BE SEEN BY THEM.
OTHERWISE YOU HAVE NO REWARD
00:19:40.51\00:19:45.71
FROM YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN."
>>SO CHRIST, WHEN HE BEGAN HIS
00:19:45.71\00:19:49.28
MINISTRY, IN THE SERMON ON THE
MOUNT, HE TALKS ABOUT OUTWARD
00:19:49.28\00:19:54.46
RELIGION AS OPPOSED TO INWARD
RELIGION. NOW THIS IS WHAT HE'S
00:19:54.46\00:19:57.86
DECRYING HERE IN MATTHEW 23.
HE SAID YOU GIVE TO BE SEEN OF
00:19:57.86\00:20:02.83
MEN, BUT IF YOU GIVE TO BE SEEN
OF MEN, THE ONLY REWARD YOU HAVE
00:20:02.83\00:20:05.73
IS THE GLORY OF
PEOPLE BEING IMPRESSED.
00:20:05.73\00:20:07.90
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
GET A REWARD FROM HEAVEN.
00:20:07.90\00:20:10.64
IF YOU PRAY TO BE SEEN -
PRAY LONG PRAYERS SO PEOPLE WILL
00:20:10.64\00:20:13.21
THINK YOU'RE HOLY - I HOPE
YOU ENJOY THE PRAISE OF MEN.
00:20:13.21\00:20:17.05
THAT'S ALL YOU GET. OR
YOU FAST TO BE SEEN OF MEN.
00:20:17.05\00:20:20.58
IF YOU'RE FASTING SO PEOPLE WITH
THINK YOU'RE HOLY AND PIOUS,
00:20:20.58\00:20:23.08
WELL, THE PRAISE OF MEN
WILL BE ALL THAT YOU GET.
00:20:23.08\00:20:26.32
BUT IF YOU'RE FASTING BECAUSE
YOU WANT GOD'S ATTENTION, YOU
00:20:26.32\00:20:29.42
WANT GOD'S PRAISE,
THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS.
00:20:29.42\00:20:32.46
AND SO, THIS IS THE SAME
THING HE WAS DEALING WITH.
00:20:32.46\00:20:34.73
HE STARTED AT THE BEGINNING
OF HIS MINISTRY TO CALL OUT THE
00:20:34.73\00:20:38.27
SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES FOR
THEIR OUTWARD RELIGION AND THE
00:20:38.27\00:20:41.10
HYPOCRISY, AND NOW, JUST BEFORE
HE'S CRUCIFIED HE BASICALLY
00:20:41.10\00:20:44.74
OPENS ALL HIS GUNS AND - AND WHY
IS HE DOING THIS IN THE TEMPLE
00:20:44.74\00:20:50.48
PUBLICLY? WHY IS HE
PUBLICLY REBUKING THEM?
00:20:50.48\00:20:54.32
THE PEOPLE NEEDED TO HEAR
THAT - IT NEEDED TO BE EXPOSED.
00:20:54.32\00:21:00.36
IS THERE A TIME FOR PREACHERS
TO CALL OUT PUBLIC SIN?
00:21:00.36\00:21:05.66
EVEN, MAYBE, WITHIN THE
CHURCH? YEAH, PAUL SAYS - YEAH,
00:21:05.66\00:21:10.13
ESPECIALLY THERE -
SO OTHERS WILL FEAR.
00:21:10.13\00:21:13.90
AND - DID JOHN
THE BAPTIST DO IT?
00:21:13.90\00:21:17.97
WHEN THE PHARISEES CAME TO
THE BAPTISM, WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:21:17.97\00:21:20.48
'BROOD OF VIPERS. WHO
HAS WARNED YOU TO FLEE
00:21:20.48\00:21:23.21
FROM THE WRATH TO
COME?' YOU THINK THAT THAT GOT
00:21:23.21\00:21:25.25
HIM ANY SPECIAL FAVORS? HE
WANTED TO BE FAITHFUL TO GOD.
00:21:25.25\00:21:33.59
"WOE YOU BLIND GUIDES" -
AND HE'S GOING BACK TO SWEARING.
00:21:33.59\00:21:38.13
YOU GO TO VERSE 20, "...HE WHO
SWEARS BY THE ALTAR, SWEARS BY
00:21:38.13\00:21:41.60
IT AND ALL THINGS ON IT.
HE WHO SWEARS BY THE TEMPLE,
00:21:41.60\00:21:44.03
SWEARS BY IT AND BY
HIM WHO DWELLS IN IT.
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.33
AND HE WHO SWEARS BY HEAVEN,
SWEARS BY THE THRONE OF GOD AND
00:21:46.33\00:21:49.47
BY HIM WHO SITS ON IT." -
HE'S SAYING, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:21:49.47\00:21:52.47
CAN'T SAY ONE COUNTS AND
THE OTHER DOESN'T - "WOE TO
00:21:52.47\00:21:55.34
YOU SCRIBES AND
PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!
00:21:55.34\00:21:57.61
FOR YOU PAY TITHE OF MINT
AND ANISE AND CUMMIN, AND HAVE
00:21:57.61\00:22:00.88
NEGLECTED THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS
OF THE LAW: JUSTICE AND MERCY
00:22:00.88\00:22:04.85
AND FAITH. THESE
YOU OUGHT TO HAVE DONE,
00:22:04.85\00:22:08.29
WITHOUT LEAVING
THE OTHERS UNDONE."
00:22:08.29\00:22:10.26
- BE FAITHFUL IN YOUR TITHE,
BUT DON'T NEGLECT THE OTHER, THE
00:22:10.26\00:22:13.76
OTHER BEING WHAT?
THE WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF
00:22:13.76\00:22:16.70
"JUSTICE AND MERCY AND FAITH."
VERSE 24, "BLIND GUIDES, WHO
00:22:16.70\00:22:21.64
STRAIN OUT A GNAT
AND SWALLOW A CAMEL!"
00:22:21.64\00:22:24.77
YOU EVER HEARD OF BEING
PENNY WISE AND DOLLAR FOOLISH?
00:22:24.77\00:22:28.54
NOW, TECHNICALLY,
GNATS ARE UNCLEAN BUGS.
00:22:28.54\00:22:32.45
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT
GNAT SALAD. THAT'S UNCLEAN.
00:22:32.45\00:22:37.22
IF YOU'RE RUNNING - ANY OF YOU
EVER ADMIT THAT YOU WERE RUNNING
00:22:37.22\00:22:39.95
ALONG ONE DAY WITH YOUR
MOUTH OPEN AND A GNAT FLEW IN?
00:22:39.95\00:22:43.73
YOU BEGAN TO CHOKE AND COUGH
AND FINALLY REALIZED IT WOULD BE
00:22:43.73\00:22:45.66
EASIER TO SWALLOW IT? AND
YOU - IT, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY
00:22:45.66\00:22:51.57
DIDN'T THRILL
YOU, BUT YOU SURVIVED.
00:22:51.57\00:22:54.47
WELL, THEY WERE SO AFRAID THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE A GNAT IN THE
00:22:54.47\00:22:57.07
WATER THAT THEY HAD CHEESECLOTH
- THEY'D PUT IT OVER THINGS AND
00:22:57.07\00:22:59.81
THEY WOULD STRAIN THEIR WATER
AND MAKE SURE LEST A LITTLE GNAT
00:22:59.81\00:23:02.71
GOT IN THERE, BUT
THEY ATE CAMEL STEAK.
00:23:02.71\00:23:09.02
THEY SAID, 'OH WELL, YOU KNOW,
I KNOW THAT IT'S TECHNICALLY
00:23:09.02\00:23:11.35
UNCLEAN AND THEY CHEW THE CUD
BUT THEY DON'T - THEY'VE GOT A
00:23:11.35\00:23:14.02
PAW - THEY DON'T HAVE A HOOF,
BUT OH WELL.' AND SO HE SAID,
00:23:14.02\00:23:18.46
'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. YOU
STRAIN OUT A GNAT AND YOU
00:23:18.46\00:23:21.13
EAT CAMEL.' THEY
MIGHT NOT DO IT PUBLICLY.
00:23:21.13\00:23:28.57
DO YOU MIND IF I GET
ON YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT?
00:23:28.57\00:23:31.21
IT ALWAYS STRIKES ME AS A LITTLE
BIT HYPOCRITICAL - NOW I'M A
00:23:31.21\00:23:36.85
VEGETARIAN - I'M A VEGAN
VEGETARIAN - I'M NOT BOASTING IN
00:23:36.85\00:23:40.05
THAT, BUT WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE
BRAG ABOUT BEING VEGETARIAN
00:23:40.05\00:23:44.05
EATING BANANA SPLITS. YOU
EAT - YOU KNOW, YOU EAT OF
00:23:44.05\00:23:48.02
TON OF SUGAR AND YOU SAY, 'OH,
I DON'T EAT ANY MEAT.' NOW, I
00:23:48.02\00:23:51.93
THINK YOU SHOULD BE A VEGETARIAN
- I THINK YOU'D BE A LOT
00:23:51.93\00:23:54.23
HEALTHIER, BUT YOU OUGHT TO DO
THE OTHER AS WELL AND MAKE SURE
00:23:54.23\00:23:57.67
THAT AMONG THOSE THINGS
THAT ARE CLEAN, YOU'RE NOT BEING
00:23:57.67\00:24:01.27
EXCESSIVE IN ANY AREA.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE HEALTH
00:24:01.27\00:24:03.77
CONSCIOUS, BE
HEALTH CONSCIOUS, RIGHT?
00:24:03.77\00:24:06.71
STRAINING A GNAT AND SWALLOWING
A CAMEL. "WOE TO YOU, SCRIBES
00:24:06.71\00:24:10.61
AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!
FOR YOU CLEANSE THE OUTSIDE OF
00:24:10.61\00:24:13.78
THE CUP AND DISH, BUT INSIDE
THEY ARE FULL OF EXTORTION
00:24:13.78\00:24:18.22
AND SELF-INDULGENCE."
- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:24:18.22\00:24:20.99
IT MEANS PART OF THE CUP
THAT PEOPLE SEE THEY WANT CLEAN.
00:24:20.99\00:24:25.29
BUT THE PART THAT'S ON THE
INSIDE, THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE,
00:24:25.29\00:24:28.50
THEY SAY, 'OH, WELL THAT DOESN'T
MATTER.' YOU KNOW, WHEN I TRAVEL
00:24:28.50\00:24:32.00
SOMETIMES, I DON'T LIKE TO IRON.
KAREN IS NICE ENOUGH TO IRON MY
00:24:32.00\00:24:35.97
CLOTHES BEFORE I LEAVE AND
THEN I JUST HAVE TO TOUCH THEM
00:24:35.97\00:24:37.84
UP WHEN I GET THERE.
THEY USUALLY HAVE AN IRON.
00:24:37.84\00:24:40.14
NOW, ARE THERE ANY MEN OUT THERE
THAT WOULD ADMIT THAT WHEN YOU
00:24:40.14\00:24:43.01
IRON YOUR SHIRT YOU
JUST IRON THIS PART?
00:24:43.01\00:24:46.41
BECAUSE THAT'S THE
ONLY PART THAT SHOWS.
00:24:46.41\00:24:48.72
COME ON, ANYONE DONE
THAT? LET ME SEE - HOLD
00:24:48.72\00:24:50.85
THEM UP THERE - OKAY. THE
PART THAT SHOWS - AND THEN
00:24:50.85\00:24:54.32
THE BACK'S ALL WRINKLED -
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN IRONED
00:24:54.32\00:24:56.22
BY A BLENDER, YOU KNOW?
ALL CRUNCHED UP - IT'S BEEN IN
00:24:56.22\00:24:59.73
YOUR BAG FOR WEEKS BUT
THIS IS ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT.
00:24:59.73\00:25:02.73
IF YOU EVER TAKE YOUR JACKET
OFF, IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
00:25:02.73\00:25:07.20
THAT'S LIKE CLEANING
THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP.
00:25:07.20\00:25:10.91
AND SO JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT
EVEN THE PART THAT NO ONE SEES
00:25:10.91\00:25:15.98
SHOULD BE CLEAN. WHEN
MICHELANGELO, AT LEAST
00:25:15.98\00:25:21.68
THIS IS THE LEGEND I'VE HEARD,
WHEN HE WAS PAINTING THE CEILING
00:25:21.68\00:25:24.32
OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL, THAT
MASTERPIECE AND HE WAS PUTTING
00:25:24.32\00:25:28.46
LITTLE STAMENS ON THE FLOWERS
THAT WERE UP THERE AROUND ADAM
00:25:28.46\00:25:32.29
AND EVE AND SOMEONE
SAID, 'WHAT ARE YOU PAINTING?'
00:25:32.29\00:25:34.56
AND HE SAID, 'I'M PAINTING THE
PETALS ON THE FLOWERS.' 'NOBODY
00:25:34.56\00:25:36.83
CAN SEE THAT FROM DOWN
HERE.' HE SAID, 'I CAN SEE IT.
00:25:36.83\00:25:40.37
GOD CAN SEE IT.' AND SO HE
WAS VERY FAITHFUL IN THE DETAIL
00:25:40.37\00:25:44.47
REMEMBERING THAT THIS WAS
FOR THE LORD AND GOD SEES.
00:25:44.47\00:25:48.64
AND JUST, YOU KNOW, PAUL TALKED
ABOUT THIS KIND OF RELIGION IN 2
00:25:48.64\00:25:53.78
TIMOTHY 3, VERSE 1, "BUT
KNOW THIS, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS
00:25:53.78\00:25:59.25
PERILOUS TIMES WILL
COME: FOR MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF
00:25:59.25\00:26:02.39
THEMSELVES, LOVERS OF MONEY,
BOASTERS, PROUD, BLASPHEMERS,
00:26:02.39\00:26:06.46
DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS,
UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY, UNLOVING,
00:26:06.46\00:26:10.23
UNFORGIVING," - A LOT OF 'UNS'
THERE - "SLANDERERS, WITHOUT
00:26:10.23\00:26:14.10
SELF-CONTROL, BRUTAL, DESPISERS
OF GOOD, TRAITORS, HEADSTRONG,
00:26:14.10\00:26:18.51
HAUGHTY, LOVERS OF PLEASURE
RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD," -
00:26:18.51\00:26:22.24
NOW HERE'S THE PART - THE REASON
I READ THIS WHOLE VERSE - HAD TO
00:26:22.24\00:26:24.95
READ THE INTRODUCTION.
HERE'S HOW HE SUMS IT UP:
00:26:24.95\00:26:28.65
"HAVING A FORM OF
GODLINESS BUT DENYING ITS POWER.
00:26:28.65\00:26:32.72
AND FROM SUCH PEOPLE TURN AWAY!"
00:26:32.72\00:26:34.56
SO THERE'LL BE A LOT OF
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE - THEY'VE GOT A
00:26:34.56\00:26:37.06
FORM OF GODLINESS BUT THERE'S
CORRUPTION IN THEIR LIVES.
00:26:37.06\00:26:42.30
AND THEN HE DESCRIBES THE LOVING
OF MONEY - AND THIS IS WHAT
00:26:42.30\00:26:45.40
JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT -
DEVOURING WIDOW'S HOUSES.
00:26:45.40\00:26:49.44
BLIND GUIDES HE CALLS THEM
- BLIND - VERSE 26 - "BLIND
00:26:49.44\00:26:54.51
PHARISEE, FIRST CLEANSE THE
INSIDE OF THE CUP AND DISH, THAT
00:26:54.51\00:26:58.25
THE OUTSIDE OF
THEM MAY BE CLEAN ALSO."
00:26:58.25\00:27:00.25
NOW IF YOUR HEART IS CLEANSED,
WILL THE OUTSIDE START APPEARING
00:27:00.25\00:27:05.29
CLEAN? YEAH. YOU
KNOW ONE WAY THAT YOU CAN
00:27:05.29\00:27:08.22
TELL THAT A FAMILY HAS
BEEN CONVERTED IS THEIR
00:27:08.22\00:27:11.46
YARD BEGINS TO CHANGE.
WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THE
00:27:11.46\00:27:14.96
HEARTS OF THE FAMILY,
SOMETHING BEGINS TO HAPPEN IN
00:27:14.96\00:27:18.80
THE YARD OF THE FAMILY. I
REMEMBER HAVING NEIGHBORS -
00:27:18.80\00:27:22.10
THERE WERE ALWAYS BEER
CANS AND JUNK OUT IN THE FRONT.
00:27:22.10\00:27:24.21
THE YARD WAS A MESS AND I -
THEY CAME TO JESUS AND ALL OF A
00:27:24.21\00:27:28.94
SUDDEN YOU SAW THEM OUT THERE
RAKING THE YARD, PICKING UP THE
00:27:28.94\00:27:30.88
CANS AND IT WAS AMAZING HOW THE
WHOLE OUTSIDE WAS TRANSFORMED
00:27:30.88\00:27:35.22
BECAUSE THE
INSIDE WAS TRANSFORMED.
00:27:35.22\00:27:37.25
SO IF THE INSIDE OF THE CUP
IS CLEAN, THINGS WILL START TO
00:27:37.25\00:27:40.82
CHANGE ON THE OUTSIDE. YOU
KNOW, BOYS SOMETIMES AREN'T
00:27:40.82\00:27:46.03
REAL PARTICULAR ABOUT THEIR
APPEARANCE WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG.
00:27:46.03\00:27:50.63
AND THEY TURN INTO TEENAGERS AND
DISCOVER GIRLS AND THEY SAY THAT
00:27:50.63\00:27:58.54
GIRLS DISCOVER THEY'VE BEEN
DISCOVERED AND THEIR APPEARANCE
00:27:58.54\00:28:02.31
CHANGES. AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN THE BOYS
00:28:02.31\00:28:05.65
BEGIN TO GET REAL
INTERESTED IN BEING CLEAN.
00:28:05.65\00:28:09.75
AND THEY START TO BRUSH THEIR
TEETH - YOU NEVER KNOW, THEY
00:28:09.75\00:28:12.45
MIGHT MAKE THAT
FIRST KISS. THINGS HAPPEN.
00:28:12.45\00:28:15.96
BUT WHEN SOMETHING CHANGES ON
THE INSIDE, IT BEGINS TO CHANGE
00:28:15.96\00:28:18.53
THE THINGS ON THE
OUTSIDE. "WOE TO YOU, SCRIBES
00:28:18.53\00:28:22.43
AND PHARISEES!" - I'M
IN VERSE 25 - "HYPOCRITES!
00:28:22.43\00:28:25.20
FOR YOU CLEANSE THE OUTSIDE
OF THE CUP AND DISH, BUT INSIDE
00:28:25.20\00:28:28.87
THEY ARE FULL OF
EXTORTION AND INDULGENCE."
00:28:28.87\00:28:31.57
- VERSE 27 - "...HYPOCRITES!
FOR YOU ARE LIKE WHITEWASHED
00:28:31.57\00:28:35.61
TOMBS WHICH INDEED APPEAR
BEAUTIFUL OUTWARDLY, BUT INSIDE
00:28:35.61\00:28:39.55
ARE FULL OF DEAD MEN'S
BONES AND ALL UNCLEANNESS.
00:28:39.55\00:28:42.95
EVEN SO YOU ALSO OUTWARDLY
APPEAR RIGHTEOUS TO MEN, BUT
00:28:42.95\00:28:45.72
INSIDE YOU ARE FULL OF
HYPOCRISY AND LAWLESSNESS."
00:28:45.72\00:28:48.56
YOU KNOW WHAT INTEGRITY IS?
REAL CHRISTIANITY AND INTEGRITY
00:28:48.56\00:28:51.29
IS WHAT YOU'RE LIKE
WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING.
00:28:51.29\00:28:56.13
WHAT DOES GOD SEE
WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING?
00:28:56.13\00:28:58.37
THAT'S WHAT REAL
CHRISTIAN INTEGRITY IS.
00:28:58.37\00:28:59.87
WHAT IS JESUS CONCERNED
WITH, THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE?
00:28:59.87\00:29:04.51
'BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART.'
AND HE WAS - HE WAS HEARTBROKEN
00:29:04.51\00:29:09.81
BECAUSE, REMEMBER WE
STUDIED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO?
00:29:09.81\00:29:12.91
THEY WERE A FIG TREE
WITH LEAVES BUT NO FRUIT.
00:29:12.91\00:29:16.48
HE WANTED THE
FRUIT ON THE INSIDE.
00:29:16.48\00:29:20.16
"WOE TO YOU, SCRIBES
AND PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!"
00:29:20.16\00:29:22.86
- I'M IN VERSE 29 - "YOU BUILD
THE TOMBS OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND
00:29:22.86\00:29:26.33
SAY, 'IF WE HAD LIVED IN THE
DAYS OF OUR FATHERS, WE WOULD
00:29:26.33\00:29:28.60
NOT HAVE BEEN PARTAKERS
WITH THEM IN THE BLOOD OF THE
00:29:28.60\00:29:30.63
PROPHETS.' THEREFORE YOU
ARE WITNESSES AGAINST YOURSELVES
00:29:30.63\00:29:34.87
THAT YOU ARE SONS OF
THOSE WHO MURDERED THE PROPHETS.
00:29:34.87\00:29:37.84
FILL UP, THEN, THE
MEASURE OF YOUR FATHERS' GUILT.
00:29:37.84\00:29:40.14
SERPENTS, BROOD OF VIPERS!
00:29:40.14\00:29:42.08
HOW CAN YOU ESCAPE
THE CONDEMNATION OF HELL?
00:29:42.08\00:29:45.01
THEREFORE, INDEED, I SEND YOU
PROPHETS, WISE MEN, AND SCRIBES:
00:29:45.01\00:29:48.42
SOME OF THEM YOU WILL KILL AND
CRUCIFY, AND SOME OF THEM YOU
00:29:48.42\00:29:50.79
WILL SCOURGE IN YOUR SYNAGOGUES
AND PERSECUTE FROM CITY TO CITY,
00:29:50.79\00:29:54.16
THAT ON YOU MAY COME" - BY THE
WAY, BEFORE I FINISH VERSE 35 -
00:29:54.16\00:29:58.26
JESUS IS FORETELLING - HE SAYS,
'I'M SENDING YOU' - NOT 'I SENT
00:29:58.26\00:30:01.16
YOU' - 'I'M SENDING YOU'
- WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
00:30:01.16\00:30:04.40
THROUGH THE CONVERTED APOSTLES
AND THE DISCIPLES THAT WOULD
00:30:04.40\00:30:07.04
FOLLOW THEM FOR ANOTHER 40
YEARS, THEY WOULD PREACH IN
00:30:07.04\00:30:11.01
JERUSALEM. AND WHAT
WOULD THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS DO?
00:30:11.01\00:30:14.04
SCOURGE THEM, PERSECUTE THEM,
KILL THEM. WHAT DID THE - WHAT
00:30:14.04\00:30:17.41
DID SAUL DO - OF
TARSUS? DIDN'T HE BECOME A
00:30:17.41\00:30:20.55
PERSECUTOR OF THE APOSTLES?
AND JESUS IS PROPHESYING HERE,
00:30:20.55\00:30:24.99
HOW JERUSALEM WAS GOING
TO TREAT HIS REPRESENTATIVES.
00:30:24.99\00:30:29.72
NOW, OF COURSE, THERE WERE MANY
CONVERTS, BUT OFFICIALLY, IT WAS
00:30:29.72\00:30:34.46
A FORBIDDEN
RELIGION THAT THEY ATTACKED.
00:30:34.46\00:30:38.10
- "THAT ON YOU MAY COME ALL
THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD SHED ON THE
00:30:38.10\00:30:41.34
EARTH FROM THE BLOOD OF
RIGHTEOUS ABEL TO THE BLOOD OF
00:30:41.34\00:30:45.37
ZECHARIAH, THE
SON OF BERECHIAH."
00:30:45.37\00:30:47.58
NOW, IF YOU'RE A BIBLE SCHOLAR,
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THERE'S AN
00:30:47.58\00:30:50.15
ANOMALY HERE. I DON'T
KNOW IF ANYONE CAUGHT IT.
00:30:50.15\00:30:55.15
IT SAYS FROM ABEL TO ZECHARIAH
THE SON OF BERECHIAH, WHOM YOU
00:30:55.15\00:31:01.52
MURDERED BETWEEN THE
TEMPLE AND THE ALTAR.
00:31:01.52\00:31:03.86
WHO WAS IT THAT
MURDERED THE PRIEST ZECHARIAH?
00:31:03.86\00:31:08.76
DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER
THE CHILD KING NAMED JOASH?
00:31:08.76\00:31:12.47
HE WAS A GOOD KING. IT'S
A GREAT CHILDREN'S STORY.
00:31:12.47\00:31:14.57
IT'S IN ALL THE BOOKS.
BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER
00:31:14.57\00:31:17.47
JEHOIADA HAD DIED AND HE GREW
UP - HIS FRIENDS TURNED HIM FROM
00:31:17.47\00:31:21.44
GOD AND HE BEGAN TO PERSECUTE
THE PROPHETS AND HE KILLED THE
00:31:21.44\00:31:25.25
SON OF JEHOIADA THE PRIEST,
WHOSE NAME WAS ZECHARIAH -
00:31:25.25\00:31:30.49
KILLED HIM BETWEEN
THE PORCH AND THE ALTAR.
00:31:30.49\00:31:33.15
BUT THE ZECHARIAH, THE SON
OF BERECHIAH, IS THE PROPHET
00:31:33.15\00:31:37.99
ZECHARIAH - THEY'RE TWO
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
00:31:37.99\00:31:41.16
AND SO, SOME FOLKS HAVE
WONDERED, 'IS THIS A SCRIBAL
00:31:41.16\00:31:44.17
ERROR OR WAS ONE OF THE NAMES
OF JEHOIADA ALSO BERECHIAH?
00:31:44.17\00:31:50.37
THEY DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S AN
ANOMALY, I'M JUST TELLING YOU.
00:31:50.37\00:31:53.74
SO JESUS, IN HIS SERMON, HE'S
REFERRING TO - HE SAYS, 'THE
00:31:53.74\00:31:56.54
BLOOD OF RIGHTEOUS ABEL' -
THAT'S THE FIRST BLOOD SHED -
00:31:56.54\00:31:59.68
AND THEN HE TALKS ABOUT
THE BLOOD OF ZECHARIAH, WHO WAS
00:31:59.68\00:32:02.78
SLAIN IN THE TEMPLE - AND
THIS IS BEFORE THE TEMPLE WAS
00:32:02.78\00:32:05.99
DESTROYED - AND HE SAYS, 'THE
BLOOD - ALL THAT GUILT THAT HAD
00:32:05.99\00:32:10.16
ACCUMULATED IS GOING TO
COME ON THIS GENERATION.
00:32:10.16\00:32:13.40
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A
GENERATION IN MATTHEW 24 IN JUST
00:32:13.40\00:32:15.83
A MOMENT. AND
THEN HE CRIES AGAIN,
00:32:15.83\00:32:18.93
'OH JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM.
THE ONE WHO KILLS THE PROPHETS
00:32:18.93\00:32:23.07
AND STONES THOSE
WHO WERE SENT TO YOU.
00:32:23.07\00:32:25.14
HOW OFTEN I WANTED TO GATHER
YOUR CHILDREN TOGETHER AS A HEN
00:32:25.14\00:32:28.41
GATHERS HER CHICKS UNDER ITS
WINGS, BUT YOU WERE NOT WILLING.
00:32:28.41\00:32:33.18
SEE YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU
DESOLATE.' I REMEMBER READING
00:32:33.18\00:32:36.35
THIS READER'S DIGEST ARTICLE
- THERE WAS A TERRIBLE FIRE THAT
00:32:36.35\00:32:40.49
WENT THROUGH THE WOODS AND
ONE OF THE RANGERS WAS WALKING
00:32:40.49\00:32:43.76
THROUGH THE WOODS AFTER THE FIRE
HAD CHARRED EVERYTHING AND HE
00:32:43.76\00:32:48.33
SAW THERE, AT THE BASE OF A TREE
IN A LOW SPOT, THE BURNT CORPSE
00:32:48.33\00:32:53.17
OF A WILD
GROUSE - FIELD CHICKEN.
00:32:53.17\00:32:59.67
AND HE WENT WITH HIS, YOU KNOW,
HIKING BOOTS, HE KIND OF KICKED
00:32:59.67\00:33:03.28
IT AND OUT FROM UNDER THE
SCORCHED WINGS OF THIS BIRD,
00:33:03.28\00:33:08.42
THESE LITTLE
CHICKS CAME RUNNING.
00:33:08.42\00:33:11.15
THEY WERE ALIVE, WHICH MEANS,
WHAT THE MOTHER DID IS, WHEN SHE
00:33:11.15\00:33:14.49
SAW THE FIRE COMING, SHE SPREAD
HER WINGS OVER HER CHICKS AND
00:33:14.49\00:33:17.83
SHE STAYED AND WOULD NOT MOVE
THROUGH THE FLAMES THAT KILLED
00:33:17.83\00:33:20.66
HER BUT KEPT THEM ALIVE.
AND THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAID,
00:33:20.66\00:33:25.10
'I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE
WRATH. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE
00:33:25.10\00:33:26.57
PUNISHMENT THAT YOU COULD
LIVE. HOW OFTEN I WANTED TO DO
00:33:26.57\00:33:29.30
THIS BUT YOU WOULD NOT.
THEN HE SAYS, 'YOUR HOUSE IS
00:33:29.30\00:33:33.38
LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.'
VERSE 38 - NOW DON'T MISS THAT.
00:33:33.38\00:33:38.98
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY WHEN HE GOES
INTO THE TEMPLE AND CLEANSES IT?
00:33:38.98\00:33:46.55
'TAKE THESE THINGS
HENCE. MY FATHER'S HOUSE WILL
00:33:46.55\00:33:51.49
BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER.
YOU'VE MADE IT A DEN OF
00:33:51.49\00:33:53.96
THIEVES.' 'MY FATHER'S HOUSE.'
LOOK HOW DIFFERENT IT IS AFTER
00:33:53.96\00:33:56.77
HE REBUKES THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS AND HE MARCHES OUT.
00:33:56.77\00:33:59.67
HE SAID, 'YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO
YOU DESOLATE.' THIS WAS THE LAST
00:33:59.67\00:34:04.11
TIME JESUS WALKED
OUT OF THE TEMPLE.
00:34:04.11\00:34:07.31
A FEW DAYS LATER, WHEN THEY
CRUCIFIED HIM, THE VEIL WOULD
00:34:07.31\00:34:09.84
REND IN THE TEMPLE, THERE'S AN
EARTHQUAKE SHOWING THE PURPOSE
00:34:09.84\00:34:13.68
OF THIS EARTHLY TEMPLE
WAS DESTROYED. HE BUILT A NEW
00:34:13.68\00:34:16.38
TEMPLE. HIS CHURCH - HIS BODY
- YOU ARE THE LIVING STONES IN
00:34:16.38\00:34:20.59
THAT TEMPLE. HE IS THE
CORNERSTONE, OKAY? AND THEN END
00:34:20.59\00:34:24.29
OF VERSE - CHAPTER 23, VERSE 39,
"FOR I SAY TO YOU, YOU SHALL SEE
00:34:24.29\00:34:29.56
ME NO MORE TILL YOU SAY,
'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE
00:34:29.56\00:34:32.03
NAME OF THE LORD!'" THE
LAST TIME HE LEFT THE TEMPLE.
00:34:32.03\00:34:34.54
JUST A VERY POWERFUL,
VERY SOBERING CHAPTER.
00:34:34.54\00:34:38.11
NOW, AS HE'S WALKING OUT OF THE
TEMPLE, THE DISCIPLES HAVE HEARD
00:34:38.11\00:34:41.14
HIM SAY SOMETHING PRETTY OMINOUS
AND THEY'RE WONDERING, 'WHAT
00:34:41.14\00:34:43.68
DOES THIS ALL MEAN? SO
THEY COME TO HIM, CHAPTER 24
00:34:43.68\00:34:47.38
- NOW WE'RE UNDER THE SIGNS
OF THE END - AND AS HE DEPARTS
00:34:47.38\00:34:51.85
"FROM THE TEMPLE, AND HIS
DISCIPLES CAME UP TO SHOW HIM
00:34:51.85\00:34:55.19
THE BUILDINGS OF THE TEMPLE."
- THESE IMMENSE STONES - "AND
00:34:55.19\00:34:58.99
JESUS SAID TO THEM, 'DO
YOU NOT SEE ALL THESE THINGS?
00:34:58.99\00:35:01.36
ASSUREDLY I SAY TO YOU, NOT ONE
STONE SHALL BE LEFT HERE UPON
00:35:01.36\00:35:05.07
ANOTHER," - OH, DID I TAKE YOUR
VERSE? YEAH, YOU'RE - GO - NO,
00:35:05.07\00:35:13.27
NOT SPECIFICALLY, GO AHEAD, READ
MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, VERSE 3.
00:35:13.27\00:35:17.68
>>"NOW AS HE SAT ON THE MOUNT
OF OLIVES, THE DISCIPLES CAME TO
00:35:17.68\00:35:20.55
HIM PRIVATELY, SAYING, 'TELL
US, WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE?
00:35:20.55\00:35:25.12
AND WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN OF
YOUR COMING, AND OF THE END OF
00:35:25.12\00:35:28.02
THE AGE?'"
>>THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
00:35:28.02\00:35:29.52
VERSE BECAUSE THEY
ASK THREE QUESTIONS.
00:35:29.52\00:35:32.49
THE LORD SORT OF COMBINES -
HE BLENDS HIS ANSWER INTO ONE
00:35:32.49\00:35:37.23
DISCOURSE IN MATTHEW 24 -
ACTUALLY GOES OVER INTO MATTHEW
00:35:37.23\00:35:40.40
25, TOO. THEY'RE ASKING
WHAT? WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE?
00:35:40.40\00:35:45.87
HE SAYS THERE WON'T BE ONE STONE
LEFT UPON ANOTHER IN THE TEMPLE.
00:35:45.87\00:35:48.91
NOW, YOU REALIZE WHY THAT WAS SO
AMAZING, IS THAT, IN THE TEMPLE,
00:35:48.91\00:35:53.88
THEY ACTUALLY HAD SOME STONES
THAT WERE PRETTY MONUMENTAL.
00:35:53.88\00:35:57.85
THERE WAS ONE STONE IN
THE TEMPLE THAT WAS 150 TONS.
00:35:57.85\00:36:02.96
IT WEIGHED MORE THAN A FULL
747 FUELED WITH ALL THE BAGGAGE.
00:36:02.96\00:36:10.73
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
AND HE SAID THERE WON'T BE -
00:36:10.73\00:36:12.33
AND IT'S STILL THERE
TODAY. YOU CAN GO LOOK AT IT.
00:36:12.33\00:36:15.84
THEY STRUGGLE TO FIND EQUIPMENT
BIG ENOUGH TO MOVE THAT TODAY.
00:36:15.84\00:36:19.44
AND SO, WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAID
THERE WON'T - YOU KNOW, 'WHEN
00:36:19.44\00:36:22.88
WILL THESE THINGS BE?' THEY'RE
AMAZED - NOT ONE STONE LEFT UPON
00:36:22.88\00:36:25.05
ANOTHER. WHAT IS
THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING?
00:36:25.05\00:36:28.15
WHEN WILL THE
DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM BE?
00:36:28.15\00:36:30.52
AND OF THE END OF THE WORLD?
AND SO HE NOW BLENDS HIS ANSWER.
00:36:30.52\00:36:34.66
AND LISTEN TO SOME OF THE FIRST
THINGS THAT JESUS SAYS - WHEN
00:36:34.66\00:36:37.23
YOU GO TO MATTHEW 24 - HE SAYS -
AND THEY'RE SITTING ON THE MOUNT
00:36:37.23\00:36:41.93
OF OLIVES - HE'S NOT
TALKING TO ALL OF THEM.
00:36:41.93\00:36:44.17
ONE VERSION SAYS HE'S TALKING TO
PETER, JAMES, JOHN, AND ANDREW.
00:36:44.17\00:36:48.14
FIRST THING HE SAYS IS, "TAKE
HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU."
00:36:48.14\00:36:51.84
- IN VERSE 4 - "FOR MANY WILL
COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, 'I AM
00:36:51.84\00:36:55.41
THE CHRIST,' AND
WILL DECEIVE MANY."
00:36:55.41\00:36:58.15
NOW, WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE
WORD 'FEW' IN THE BIBLE AND THEN
00:36:58.15\00:37:01.42
YOU'VE GOT THE WORD
'MANY'. FEW MEANS FEW AND
00:37:01.42\00:37:04.49
MANY MEANS MANY.
FEW MEANS THE MINORITY,
00:37:04.49\00:37:07.39
MANY MEANS THE WHAT? MAJORITY.
00:37:07.39\00:37:11.59
"MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME
SAYING 'I AM THE CHRIST,' AND
00:37:11.59\00:37:13.70
WILL DECEIVE MANY."
THAT VERSE HAS TWO DIFFERENT
00:37:13.70\00:37:15.36
MEANINGS - AND THEY
DON'T CONFLICT EACH OTHER.
00:37:15.36\00:37:18.90
MANY WILL COME IN THE NAME
OF JESUS SAYING, 'HE IS THE
00:37:18.90\00:37:21.87
CHRIST.' AND
THEY DECEIVE PEOPLE.
00:37:21.87\00:37:25.01
IT CAN BE TAKEN THAT WAY.
THAT COULD BE ANY PREACHER THAT
00:37:25.01\00:37:28.41
SAYS HE IS THE CHRIST
AND HE DECEIVES PEOPLE.
00:37:28.41\00:37:32.38
'MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME
SAYING, 'I AM THE CHRIST' AND
00:37:32.38\00:37:34.58
THEY'LL DECEIVE PEOPLE.
THEN THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COME
00:37:34.58\00:37:36.95
IN HIS NAME SAYING, 'I AM
THE CHRIST' - THERE'LL BE FALSE
00:37:36.95\00:37:39.72
CHRISTS THAT CLAIM THAT THEY
ARE THE CHRIST AND DECEIVE MANY.
00:37:39.72\00:37:42.86
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE BOTH.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE SAY
00:37:42.86\00:37:44.59
THEY REPRESENT JESUS, THAT HE IS
THE CHRIST, AND THEY'LL DECEIVE
00:37:44.59\00:37:47.00
PEOPLE AND THEN YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY
00:37:47.00\00:37:48.80
GOING TO CLAIM TO BE
JESUS. NOW HAVE WE SEEN THAT?
00:37:48.80\00:37:53.90
THERE'S - THERE ARE PROBABLY
SEVERAL WALKING THE EARTH TODAY
00:37:53.90\00:37:56.67
THAT SAY THEY ARE JESUS
INCARNATE OR CLAIMING TO BE THE
00:37:56.67\00:38:00.14
SON OF GOD. SOME OF
THEM ARE JUST DERANGED
00:38:00.14\00:38:03.21
AND SOME OF THEM
ARE VERY SERIOUS.
00:38:03.21\00:38:06.21
NOW, AS HE TALKS ABOUT THE SIGNS
OF DESTRUCTION - I'VE GOT TO
00:38:06.21\00:38:08.88
HURRY BECAUSE
THERE'S QUITE A BIT HERE.
00:38:08.88\00:38:12.69
HE SAYS, 'YOU'LL HEAR OF WARS
AND RUMORS OF WARS' - VERSE SIX
00:38:12.69\00:38:17.19
- "SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT
TROUBLED; FOR ALL THESE THINGS
00:38:17.19\00:38:19.73
MUST COME TO PASS,
BUT THE END IS NOT YET."
00:38:19.73\00:38:22.10
NOW WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT WARS AND
RUMORS OF WARS AS A SIGN OF THE
00:38:22.10\00:38:25.03
END, BUT WHAT IS JESUS SAYING?
HE'S ACTUALLY SAYING, 'DON'T GET
00:38:25.03\00:38:28.60
ALL STIRRED UP BECAUSE
OF WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.
00:38:28.60\00:38:31.51
THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE
END OF TIME.' NOW NEVER HAVE WE
00:38:31.51\00:38:35.41
HAD WARS LIKE WE HAD LAST
CENTURY WHERE YOU HAVE WORLD
00:38:35.41\00:38:38.51
WARS. AND SO
THE FREQUENCY OF THE
00:38:38.51\00:38:41.52
WAR, THE INTENSITY OF THE
WAR, INCREASES AS CHILDBIRTH
00:38:41.52\00:38:47.62
PAINS AS YOU NEAR THE END.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:38:47.62\00:38:51.13
AND IT SAYS HERE THESE ARE THE
BEGINNING OF - OH, I'M SORRY,
00:38:51.13\00:38:55.86
VERSE 7, "FOR NATION WILL
RISE AGAINST NATION, AND KINGDOM
00:38:55.86\00:38:58.60
AGAINST KINGDOM. AND THERE WILL
BE FAMINES, PESTILENCES, AND
00:38:58.60\00:39:01.57
EARTHQUAKES IN VARIOUS
PLACES. ALL THESE ARE THE
00:39:01.57\00:39:04.47
BEGINNING OF SORROWS. THEN
THEY WILL DELIVER YOU UP TO
00:39:04.47\00:39:08.18
TRIBULATION AND KILL YOU,
AND YOU WILL BE HATED BY ALL
00:39:08.18\00:39:11.85
NATIONS FOR MY NAME'S SAKE.
AND THEN MANY WILL BE OFFENDED,
00:39:11.85\00:39:15.38
WILL BETRAY ONE ANOTHER,
AND WILL HATE ONE ANOTHER.
00:39:15.38\00:39:18.15
THEN MANY FALSE PROPHETS
WILL RISE UP AND DECEIVE MANY."
00:39:18.15\00:39:20.79
- THERE YOU'VE GOT THE FALSE
CHRISTS AGAIN - "AND BECAUSE
00:39:20.79\00:39:23.19
LAWLESSNESS WILL ABOUND, THE
LOVE OF MANY WILL GROW COLD."
00:39:23.19\00:39:28.23
- SO ONE OF THE SIGNS IN
THE LAST DAYS IS LAWLESSNESS.
00:39:28.23\00:39:30.83
DOES HE MEAN LAWLESSNESS IN THE
WORLD OR IN THE CHURCH OR BOTH?
00:39:30.83\00:39:35.60
HARD TO IMAGINE YOU COULD HAVE
LAWLESSNESS IN THE CHURCH, BUT
00:39:35.60\00:39:37.77
IT MEANS THAT EVEN IN THE
CHURCH THEY WILL BE WITHOUT LAW.
00:39:37.77\00:39:42.38
AND, AS A RESULT OF
THAT, LOVE GROWS COLD.
00:39:42.38\00:39:46.38
BUT HE THAT ENDURES
TO THE END WILL BE SAVED.
00:39:46.38\00:39:49.95
NOW, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE SECOND COMING THERE'S A FEW
00:39:49.95\00:39:52.35
BIG GROUPS. ONE
GROUP SAYS THIS TRIBULATION
00:39:52.35\00:39:55.69
THAT JESUS SPEAKS OF
HAPPENS AFTER THE RAPTURE.
00:39:55.69\00:39:59.29
THAT CHRISTIANS WILL ALL BE
SUDDENLY WHISKED AWAY IN THE
00:39:59.29\00:40:02.86
SECRET RAPTURE AND THEN
THERE'LL BE A TRIBULATION.
00:40:02.86\00:40:06.47
NOW ALL CHRISTIANS AGREE -
VIRTUALLY ALL - THAT THE BIBLE'S
00:40:06.47\00:40:09.64
PRETTY CLEAR THERE'S
GOING TO BE A GREAT TRIBULATION.
00:40:09.64\00:40:13.04
DANIEL CHAPTER 12 - 'AT
THAT TIME MICHAEL STANDS UP, THE
00:40:13.04\00:40:17.65
GREAT PRINCE THAT STANDS FOR THE
CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE AND THERE
00:40:17.65\00:40:20.38
WILL BE A TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH
AS THERE NEVER HAS BEEN SINCE
00:40:20.38\00:40:22.95
THERE WAS A NATION, EVEN UNTO
THAT SAME TIME.' GREAT TIME OF
00:40:22.95\00:40:25.95
TROUBLE. JESUS TALKS
ABOUT THIS GREAT TRIBULATION.
00:40:25.95\00:40:29.62
THE QUESTION IS, WHEN DOES
THE LORD RAPTURE UP THE SAINTS?
00:40:29.62\00:40:34.93
TECHNICALLY WE ARE CAUGHT UP
- 'THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND
00:40:34.93\00:40:38.83
FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT.
THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL.' WE
00:40:38.83\00:40:41.07
ARE CAUGHT UP TO MEET HIM IN THE
AIR, BUT WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN?
00:40:41.07\00:40:44.94
BEFORE THE TRIBULATION
OR AFTER THE TRIBULATION?
00:40:44.94\00:40:48.01
THE TERMS THAT ARE USED AMONG
CHRISTIAN PASTORS AND SCHOLARS
00:40:48.01\00:40:51.51
ARE - YOU'VE GOT 'PRE-TRIB',
'MID-TRIB', 'POST-TRIB' -
00:40:51.51\00:40:55.68
THERE'S THOSE THAT BELIEVE
IN THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE.
00:40:55.68\00:40:59.69
THAT WOULD BE THE LEFT BEHIND
GROUP. THEY THINK THE CHURCH IS
00:40:59.69\00:41:02.69
GOING TO BE RAPTURED
PRIOR TO OR PRE-TRIBULATION.
00:41:02.69\00:41:07.73
THEN YOU'VE GOT MID-TRIB - SOME
THINK THAT THE ANTICHRIST POWER
00:41:07.73\00:41:11.00
WILL BE IN JERUSALEM THREE
AND A HALF YEARS AND THEN - THEY
00:41:11.00\00:41:13.77
BELIEVE THE TRIBULATION IS SEVEN
YEARS - BY THE WAY, WHERE IN THE
00:41:13.77\00:41:16.17
BIBLE DOES IT SAY
'SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION'?
00:41:16.17\00:41:19.77
THERE'S REALLY NO
VERSE THAT SAYS THAT.
00:41:19.77\00:41:23.75
3 CORINTHIANS SAYS THERE'S
A SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION?
00:41:23.75\00:41:26.61
3 CORINTHIANS - YOU'RE TALKING
- THANKS - YEAH, 3 CORINTHIANS.
00:41:26.61\00:41:30.29
YEAH, THAT'S WHERE IT IS.
IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO 2 HEZEKIAH.
00:41:30.29\00:41:36.19
YEAH, NO, IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.
00:41:36.19\00:41:37.56
THE CLOSEST YOU CAN GET IS THAT
NOAH WAS ON THE ARK FOR SEVEN
00:41:37.56\00:41:40.50
DAYS BEFORE THE FLOOD CAME.
SOME SAY A DAY EQUALS A YEAR.
00:41:40.50\00:41:44.33
OR THEY TAKE THE LAST WEEK OF
DANIEL CHAPTER 9 - THE 490-YEAR
00:41:44.33\00:41:48.07
PROPHECY - THEY PULL IT AWAY
FROM THE REST OF THE PROPHECY
00:41:48.07\00:41:51.54
AND HAVE IT FLOATING AT THE
END OF TIME AND SAY, 'THAT'S THE
00:41:51.54\00:41:53.38
SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION.' YOU
KNOW, YOU REALLY DON'T SEE THAT.
00:41:53.38\00:41:57.05
MATTER OF FACT, MOST OF THE TIME
IN THE BIBLE, THE TRIBULATIONS -
00:41:57.05\00:41:59.08
THE FAMINES - THEY'RE
ALL THREE AND A HALF YEARS.
00:41:59.08\00:42:01.75
YOU'VE GOT THREE AND A
HALF YEARS OF PERSECUTION.
00:42:01.75\00:42:04.02
YOU'VE GOT THREE AND A HALF
YEARS IN THE DAYS OF ESTHER.
00:42:04.02\00:42:06.25
THREE AND A HALF YEARS IN THE
PERSECUTION OF THE APOSTLES AND
00:42:06.25\00:42:09.49
SO I'M NOT SETTING A DATE.
NO ONE KNOWS, BUT IT DOESN'T
00:42:09.49\00:42:13.46
SAY SEVEN YEARS OF TRIBULATION.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT YOUR
00:42:13.46\00:42:17.30
POST-TRIB -
THAT'S WHERE WE FALL.
00:42:17.30\00:42:19.40
THAT FOLLOWING THE TRIBULATION -
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAYS, 'HE THAT
00:42:19.40\00:42:22.97
ENDURES TO THE
END' - ENDURES WHAT?
00:42:22.97\00:42:25.11
THE TRIBULATION - 'THE SAME WILL
BE SAVED.' THEY SAY, 'WELL, NO,
00:42:25.11\00:42:28.58
IT'S ONLY THE JEWS THAT HAVE
TO GO THROUGH THE TRIBULATION.
00:42:28.58\00:42:31.48
THERE'LL BE 144,000 JEWS THAT
WILL BE PREACHING TO THE WORLD'
00:42:31.48\00:42:34.38
- THAT THEY'RE LITERAL JEWS
AND THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS,
00:42:34.38\00:42:37.22
THEOLOGICALLY, WITH THAT,
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FIND 12,000
00:42:37.22\00:42:40.46
PEOPLE FROM THE
TRIBE OF ISSACHAR TODAY.
00:42:40.46\00:42:42.79
AND SO, ANYWAY, I DON'T WANT
TO TAKE THIS TOO DEEP BUT LET'S
00:42:42.79\00:42:47.76
KEEP READING HERE. SO
HE TALKS ABOUT THIS GREAT
00:42:47.76\00:42:49.70
TRIBULATION, THERE'S
FALSE CHRISTS - WILL SATAN SEEK
00:42:49.70\00:42:51.73
TO IMPERSONATE
JESUS? I BELIEVE HE WILL.
00:42:51.73\00:42:57.21
HE TALKS ABOUT THE
DEMISE OF JERUSALEM.
00:42:57.21\00:42:59.71
HE SAYS, 'HE THAT ENDURES TO THE
END WILL BE SAVED' - VERSE 14,
00:42:59.71\00:43:02.81
"AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE
00:43:02.81\00:43:05.58
WORLD AS A WITNESS TO ALL THE
NATIONS, AND THEN THE END WILL
00:43:05.58\00:43:08.65
COME." YOU KNOW,
ONE OF THE REASONS
00:43:08.65\00:43:10.79
THAT YOU KNOW THAT JESUS
WAS A PROPHET - THAT'S A PRETTY
00:43:10.79\00:43:14.42
OUTRAGEOUS THING TO SAY - 'MY
TEACHING IS GOING TO GO INTO ALL
00:43:14.42\00:43:16.69
THE WORLD' - WELL, HE
WAS RIGHT. IT DID, DIDN'T IT?
00:43:16.69\00:43:21.60
AND HE SAID, "THEN
THE END WILL COME".
00:43:21.60\00:43:23.43
WELL, THERE'S STILL A FEW
CORNERS WHO HAVEN'T HEARD IT,
00:43:23.43\00:43:25.30
BUT DO WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY
TODAY, WHERE THE GOSPEL CAN GO
00:43:25.30\00:43:28.64
INTO ALL THE WORLD?
THROUGH TELEVISION AND -
00:43:28.64\00:43:31.77
THE INTERNET IS EVERYWHERE.
THERE ARE MORE CELL PHONES IN
00:43:31.77\00:43:36.24
AFRICA THAN IN NORTH
AMERICA. DID YOU KNOW?
00:43:36.24\00:43:39.45
YEAH, IT'S AMAZING.
AND THE GOSPEL IS GOING
00:43:39.45\00:43:44.72
INTO ALL THE WORLD.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED TODAY.
00:43:44.72\00:43:47.56
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST
BAPTISM WE HAD HERE AT GRANITE
00:43:47.56\00:43:51.49
BAY WAS MR. WU -
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?
00:43:51.49\00:43:54.20
HOW MANY REMEMBER
THAT? MR. WU IS HERE TODAY.
00:43:54.20\00:43:56.97
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT I'M
SAYING BECAUSE HE DOESN'T SPEAK
00:43:56.97\00:43:58.50
ENGLISH. HEY - HAVE HIM STAND
UP FOR A SECOND. THERE HE IS.
00:43:58.50\00:44:05.94
DO YOU WANT TO
SAY HELLO, MR. WU?
00:44:05.94\00:44:07.91
HE'S BACK FROM
CHINA TO VISIT US.
00:44:07.91\00:44:09.48
HE'S BEEN OVER THERE
PREACHING. HALLELUJAH, AMEN!
00:44:09.48\00:44:13.35
THANK YOU. XIE XIE NI.
(LAUGHS) THE GOSPEL'S GOING TO
00:44:13.35\00:44:17.75
ALL THE WORLD - EVEN IN CHINA.
AND THROUGH THIS SATELLITE AND
00:44:17.75\00:44:21.79
THROUGH THE INTERNET AND THROUGH
DVDS AND PRINT AND A THOUSAND
00:44:21.79\00:44:27.13
DIFFERENT WAYS - AND HE SAID,
'THEN THE END WILL COME.' HE
00:44:27.13\00:44:31.20
DIDN'T SAY
EVERYBODY WOULD BELIEVE.
00:44:31.20\00:44:33.13
HE SAID, 'AS A WITNESS TO
ALL NATIONS.' NOTICE THIS,
00:44:33.13\00:44:37.84
"THEREFORE WHEN YOU SEE THE
'ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,'
00:44:37.84\00:44:41.08
SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL THE PROPHET,
STANDING IN THE HOLY PLACE'
00:44:41.08\00:44:45.41
(WHOEVER READS LET HIM
UNDERSTAND)," - WHAT IS HE
00:44:45.41\00:44:47.48
WANTING YOU TO READ?
DANIEL - AND YOU CAN READ IN
00:44:47.48\00:44:51.45
DANIEL 9, YOU CAN READ IN DANIEL
12, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT DANIEL
00:44:51.45\00:44:54.89
11, I BELIEVE, TALKS ABOUT THE
ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE.
00:44:54.89\00:44:58.96
AND THEN HE SAID, "THEN LET
THOSE WHO ARE IN JUDEA FLEE TO
00:44:58.96\00:45:03.60
THE MOUNTAINS. LET
HIM WHO IS ON HIS HOUSETOP
00:45:03.60\00:45:06.87
NOT GO DOWN AND TAKE
ANYTHING OUT OF HIS HOUSE."
00:45:06.87\00:45:10.07
LAST WEEK I WENT UP TO OUR CABIN
IN COVELO WITH A COUPLE OF OUR
00:45:10.07\00:45:15.84
AMAZING FACTS CREW AND WE
VIDEOTAPED A SEGMENT ON COUNTRY
00:45:15.84\00:45:20.32
LIVING. WE TRIED
TO GIVE A BALANCED
00:45:20.32\00:45:22.58
APPROACH ABOUT REACHING THE
CITIES, BUT JUST TALKED ABOUT
00:45:22.58\00:45:25.39
SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES AND
THE COUNSEL OF COUNTRY LIVING.
00:45:25.39\00:45:28.59
AND HERE, IS THERE A TIME COMING
WHEN WE MIGHT NEED TO FLEE TO
00:45:28.59\00:45:31.19
THE HILLS? AND YOU
SO, 'OH, THAT WAS BACK
00:45:31.19\00:45:33.60
THEN FOR THE DESTRUCTION
OF JERUSALEM.' YEAH, BUT WHAT
00:45:33.60\00:45:36.13
JESUS SAID HERE IS GOING
TO BE REPEATED IN THE FUTURE.
00:45:36.13\00:45:39.77
THE SIGNS THAT PRECEDED THE
DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, MANY
00:45:39.77\00:45:43.87
OF THOSE WILL BE REPEATED, IN
A MORE SPIRITUAL NATURE, BEFORE
00:45:43.87\00:45:47.21
THE SECOND COMING.
BECAUSE THEY'RE ASKING,
00:45:47.21\00:45:49.84
'WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE?'
- DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM -
00:45:49.84\00:45:51.95
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF YOUR
COMING AND THE END OF THE WORLD?
00:45:51.95\00:45:55.08
BACK THEN IT WAS
JERUSALEM SURROUNDED BY ARMIES.
00:45:55.08\00:45:58.75
BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE
SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE AS WELL.
00:45:58.75\00:46:01.66
BY THE WAY, YOU'LL FIND THAT
IN LUKE CHAPTER 21 - JERUSALEM
00:46:01.66\00:46:04.36
SURROUNDED WITH ARMIES.
DANIEL 9:27 - YOU'LL FIND THE
00:46:04.36\00:46:07.60
ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE,
TALKING ABOUT THIS BEAST POWER
00:46:07.60\00:46:11.07
HEDGING IN GOD'S
PEOPLE WITH LAWS.
00:46:11.07\00:46:14.04
NONE OF THE BELIEVERS WERE
DESTROYED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF
00:46:14.04\00:46:16.87
JERUSALEM BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVED THE WORD OF JESUS.
00:46:16.87\00:46:20.88
WHEN THE ROMANS FIRST SURROUNDED
JERUSALEM - AND IT WAS A
00:46:20.88\00:46:24.81
TERRIBLE SIEGE - THERE WAS
A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP AND THE
00:46:24.81\00:46:29.28
GENERAL NEEDED TO RETREAT AND
WHEN THEY BROKE CAMP AND LEFT,
00:46:29.28\00:46:34.79
THE CHRISTIANS KNEW, 'THIS
IS OUR CHANCE TO ESCAPE' AND ALL
00:46:34.79\00:46:36.99
THE CHRISTIANS FLED AND THEY
DIDN'T COME BACK INTO JERUSALEM
00:46:36.99\00:46:39.59
WHEN THE ROMANS CAME BACK.
THEY WENT UP NEAR PELLA, BY
00:46:39.59\00:46:43.30
THE SEA OF GALILEE AND ALL THE
CHRISTIANS SURVIVED THERE WHEN
00:46:43.30\00:46:46.74
JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED AND YOU
CAN ALSO READ ABOUT THAT IN THE
00:46:46.74\00:46:50.97
BIBLE COMMENTARY CHAPTER 5, PAGE
499. ANYWAY, CHRIST SAYS IT'S
00:46:50.97\00:46:57.58
GOING TO BE VERY TOUGH FOR
THOSE WHO ARE IN JERUSALEM.
00:46:57.58\00:47:00.52
"BUT WOE TO THOSE WHO ARE
PREGNANT AND TO THOSE WHO ARE
00:47:00.52\00:47:02.22
NURSING BABIES IN THOSE DAYS!
AND PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT MAY
00:47:02.22\00:47:05.62
NOT BE IN WINTER
OR ON THE SABBATH.
00:47:05.62\00:47:08.89
FOR THEN THERE WILL BE GREAT
TRIBULATION, SUCH AS HAS NOT
00:47:08.89\00:47:11.26
BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
WORLD UNTIL THIS TIME, NO, NOR
00:47:11.26\00:47:14.40
EVER SHALL BE." NOW
DID JESUS BELIEVE HIS
00:47:14.40\00:47:17.73
FOLLOWERS WOULD STILL
BE KEEPING THE SABBATH?
00:47:17.73\00:47:21.27
EVIDENTLY OR HE
WOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT, RIGHT?
00:47:21.27\00:47:24.57
AND HE SAID IT WILL BE SO SEVERE
THAT IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, EVEN
00:47:24.57\00:47:28.24
THE VERY ELECT WOULD BE
DESTROYED - OR DECEIVED - "AND
00:47:28.24\00:47:31.85
UNLESS THOSE DAYS WERE
SHORTENED, NO FLESH WOULD BE
00:47:31.85\00:47:34.35
SAVED; BUT FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE
THOSE DAYS WILL BE SHORTENED."
00:47:34.35\00:47:37.75
IT'S GOING TO SEEM LIKE
MAN IS GOING TO SELF-DESTRUCT.
00:47:37.75\00:47:40.69
THINGS ARE GOING TO BE
SO SEVERE IN THAT TIME.
00:47:40.69\00:47:43.56
ALRIGHT, WHAT'S ONE OF THE
MAIN THINGS THE LORD WARNS US
00:47:43.56\00:47:46.56
AGAINST? SOMEONE'S
GOING TO READ FOR ME
00:47:46.56\00:47:48.30
MATTHEW 24, VERSES 4 AND 5.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THE LORD
00:47:48.30\00:47:52.07
TELLS US TO BE ON GUARD
FOR JUST BEFORE HE COMES.
00:47:52.07\00:47:55.74
NOW, I'M GOING TO READ MATTHEW
24:23 AGAIN, "THEN IF ANYONE
00:47:55.74\00:48:00.44
SAYS TO YOU, 'LOOK,
HERE IS THE CHRIST!'
00:48:00.44\00:48:02.41
OR 'THERE!' DO NOT BELIEVE IT.
00:48:02.41\00:48:04.98
FOR FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE
PROPHETS WILL RISE AND SHOW
00:48:04.98\00:48:08.22
GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS" -
EVEN SATAN, HIMSELF, PERHAPS
00:48:08.22\00:48:12.09
IMPERSONATING CHRIST - "TO
DECEIVE, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN THE
00:48:12.09\00:48:15.22
ELECT. SEE, I HAVE
TOLD YOU BEFOREHAND.
00:48:15.22\00:48:17.43
THEREFORE IF THEY SAY TO YOU,
'LOOK, HE IS IN THE DESERT!'
00:48:17.43\00:48:19.29
DO NOT GO OUT; OR 'LOOK,
HE IS IN THE INNER ROOMS!'
00:48:19.29\00:48:21.86
DO NOT BELIEVE IT.' GO AHEAD,
READ FOR US 24, VERSES 4 AND 5,
00:48:21.86\00:48:26.70
>>"AND JESUS ANSWERED
AND SAID TO THEM: 'TAKE HEED
00:48:26.70\00:48:29.87
THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.
FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME,
00:48:29.87\00:48:33.34
SAYING, 'I AM THE
CHRIST,' AND WILL DECEIVE MANY."
00:48:33.34\00:48:36.91
>>MAIN THING JESUS WARNS AGAINST
- THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF
00:48:36.91\00:48:40.22
DECEPTION - A LOT OF DECEIVERS
- EVEN SIGNS AND WONDERS AND
00:48:40.22\00:48:43.75
MIRACLES. FALSE
CHRISTS SAYING, 'OH, HE'S
00:48:43.75\00:48:45.79
OUT IN THE DESERT.' 'HE'S IN
INNER CHAMBERS.' 'HE'S IN THAT
00:48:45.79\00:48:47.92
CHURCH - IN THAT TEMPLE - IN
THAT SANCTUM - GO' - DON'T EVEN
00:48:47.92\00:48:51.36
LOOK BECAUSE YOU'LL BE PUTTING
YOURSELF ON ENCHANTED GROUND.
00:48:51.36\00:48:55.50
SO, IF CNN REPORTS 'THIS
GLORIOUS BEING HAS APPEARED IN
00:48:55.50\00:49:02.70
JERUSALEM, CLAIMING TO BE
CHRIST - WE'RE ABOUT TO GET AN
00:49:02.70\00:49:04.84
INTERVIEW.' SHOULD YOU WATCH THE
00:49:04.84\00:49:06.31
INTERVIEW? I MEAN,
IT'S AMAZING, YOU KNOW?
00:49:06.31\00:49:11.48
I'M EVEN - I'M EVEN SURPRISED AT
HOW MANY PROTESTANTS, WHEN THEY
00:49:11.48\00:49:15.52
WATCH THE POPE ON TELEVISION,
THEIR WHOLE ATTITUDE ABOUT
00:49:15.52\00:49:18.25
CATHOLICISM CHANGES BECAUSE HE'S
SUCH A NICE GUY WHEN WE SEE HIM
00:49:18.25\00:49:22.72
THAT THEY'RE JUST
BEING SWEPT UP IN IT ALL.
00:49:22.72\00:49:26.73
'HE'S JUST - HE'S SO LOVING.
HE JUST EXUDES KINDNESS AND
00:49:26.73\00:49:29.83
HUMILITY AND' - BE
CAREFUL. WHAT THEY BELIEVE
00:49:29.83\00:49:33.74
HAS NOT CHANGED. AND SO
HE SAYS, 'DON'T GO FORTH!
00:49:33.74\00:49:37.67
DON'T EVEN LOOK, BECAUSE
YOU COULD BE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE
00:49:37.67\00:49:40.58
DECEIVED.' NOW, I'M ABOUT OUT OF
TIME AND I'VE GOT A LITTLE LIST
00:49:40.58\00:49:43.61
I WANT TO GO THROUGH.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE SIGNS OF
00:49:43.61\00:49:46.15
CHRIST'S RETURN
THAT JESUS GIVES US?
00:49:46.15\00:49:50.85
FIRST OF ALL, FALSE
CHRISTS - WE TALKED ABOUT.
00:49:50.85\00:49:53.92
WARS AND DISASTERS IN THE
WORLD. KNOWLEDGE WILL INCREASE.
00:49:53.92\00:49:59.03
NOW THIS IS ACTUALLY FROM DANIEL
CHAPTER 12, 'MANY WILL RUN TO
00:49:59.03\00:50:02.30
AND FRO AND KNOWLEDGE WILL
INCREASE.' ARE PEOPLE TRAVELING
00:50:02.30\00:50:04.60
TO AND FRO MORE
TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE?
00:50:04.60\00:50:07.97
OH, ABSOLUTELY. AND
HAS KNOWLEDGE INCREASED
00:50:07.97\00:50:10.71
EXPONENTIALLY NOW MORE
THAN ANY OTHER GENERATION?
00:50:10.71\00:50:13.94
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE
GRANDPARENTS THAT LIVED BEFORE
00:50:13.94\00:50:17.28
THERE WAS TELEVISION,
RADIO, AND AIRPLANES?
00:50:17.28\00:50:22.15
YOU'RE DATING
YOURSELF, AREN'T YOU?
00:50:22.15\00:50:24.32
WHEN YOU DO THAT. AND
THEY PROBABLY USED KEROSENE
00:50:24.32\00:50:26.52
LIGHTS AND WERE BORN AT HOME
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD HORSES
00:50:26.52\00:50:30.89
THAT CAME UP TO THE HOUSE.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT
00:50:30.89\00:50:35.70
NOW, NOT IF YOU CAN
HAVE A FOUR-WHEELER.
00:50:35.70\00:50:39.60
I KNOW IF YOU WHISTLE THE
HORSE'LL COME, BUT I DON'T HAVE
00:50:39.60\00:50:43.20
TO FEED MY FOUR-WHEELER ALL THE
TIME, WHETHER I USE IT OR NOT.
00:50:43.20\00:50:46.74
THAT'S A DIFFERENT SUBJECT.
BUT LOOK HOW MUCH THE WORLD
00:50:46.74\00:50:49.51
HAS CHANGED IN ONE GENERATION.
FOR 6,000 YEARS PEOPLE FOUGHT
00:50:49.51\00:50:56.99
WITH BOWS AND ARROWS AND
SWORDS. THOSE WERE THE WEAPONS.
00:50:56.99\00:51:00.99
ANOTHER PROPHECY, IT SAYS MAN'LL
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY THE
00:51:00.99\00:51:03.89
EARTH. DOES MAN? AND
THAT'S IN REVELATION 11:19,
00:51:03.89\00:51:10.20
'GOD'LL DESTROY THOSE THAT
DESTROY THE EARTH.' NOW WE HAVE
00:51:10.20\00:51:12.27
WEAPONS THAT CAN
DESTROY THE EARTH.
00:51:12.27\00:51:13.94
WE HAVE CHEMICALS AND POLLUTION
THAT CAN DESTROY THE EARTH.
00:51:13.94\00:51:16.04
THEY DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT
THAT TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
00:51:16.04\00:51:18.97
THIS IS A WHOLE
DIFFERENT TIME WE'RE LIVING IN.
00:51:18.97\00:51:21.94
VIOLENCE AND
TERRORISM IS ONE OF THE SIGNS.
00:51:21.94\00:51:24.71
MEN'S HEARTS FAILING
FOR FEAR. WHAT IS TERRORISM?
00:51:24.71\00:51:27.72
IT'S DESIGNED TO STRIKE
TERROR IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
00:51:27.72\00:51:30.62
THEY'RE AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE,
GET ON A PLANE - BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:51:30.62\00:51:33.62
IT'S FEAR - AND THE CONSTANT WAR
- THE SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING
00:51:33.62\00:51:39.86
- TSUNAMIS AND EARTHQUAKES - AND
YOU JUST LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON
00:51:39.86\00:51:43.20
IN THE WORLD TODAY AND, FOR
ME, OF ALL THE SIGNS, KNOWLEDGE
00:51:43.20\00:51:47.84
INCREASING, GOSPEL GOING TO
THE WORLD, SELFISHNESS, PEOPLE'S
00:51:47.84\00:51:51.07
HEARTS GROWING COLD, WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO THE ENVIRONMENT,
00:51:51.07\00:51:54.64
THE POPULATION, AND WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO THE CHURCH, TO ME,
00:51:54.64\00:51:59.85
IT SAYS, 'IN SUCH AN HOUR AS YOU
THINK NOT' - WHEN THE CHURCH IS
00:51:59.85\00:52:01.85
SLEEPING - THAT
WOULD BE ONE OF THE SIGNS.
00:52:01.85\00:52:04.75
BUT DO WE SEE THE SIGNS OF
JESUS COMING ALL AROUND US?
00:52:04.75\00:52:07.89
ALRIGHT, BACK TO MATTHEW 24. BY
THE WAY, WHEN WE POST OUR NOTES
00:52:07.89\00:52:11.03
ONLINE, I USUALLY - GOOD OR BAD
- I USUALLY SEND MY NOTES IN.
00:52:11.03\00:52:14.93
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEM IF YOU
WANT. THOSE OF YOU WHO TEACH,
00:52:14.93\00:52:17.50
I'LL PUT IN SOME OF THE SIGNS
OF CHRIST'S RETURN AND IT'S GOT
00:52:17.50\00:52:20.94
SOME OF THE SCRIPTURE
REFERENCES IN THERE AS WELL.
00:52:20.94\00:52:24.54
AND THEN IT GOES ON TO
SAY, "HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS
00:52:24.54\00:52:27.81
AWAY," - VERSE 35 - "BUT
MY WORDS WILL BY NO MEANS PASS
00:52:27.81\00:52:30.95
AWAY." ONE MORE THING.
00:52:30.95\00:52:33.28
I WANT TO GO BACK TO VERSE 34 -
VERSE 33, "SO YOU ALSO, WHEN YOU
00:52:33.28\00:52:38.02
SEE ALL THESE THINGS, KNOW
THAT IT IS NEAR-AT THE DOORS!
00:52:38.02\00:52:41.59
ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, THIS
GENERATION WILL BY NO MEANS PASS
00:52:41.59\00:52:45.83
AWAY TILL ALL
THESE THINGS TAKE PLACE."
00:52:45.83\00:52:50.43
JESUS MADE THIS
PREDICTION IN ABOUT 30 AD.
00:52:50.43\00:52:54.14
WHO KNOWS WHEN THE
TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED?
00:52:54.14\00:52:57.74
70 AD. HOW LONG IS A
BIBLE GENERATION? FORTY YEARS.
00:52:57.74\00:53:04.18
WHEN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LOST
FAITH HE MADE THEM WANDER UNTIL
00:53:04.18\00:53:06.95
THAT GENERATION DIED
OFF. HOW LONG DID THEY WANDER?
00:53:06.95\00:53:10.19
FORTY YEARS. AND YOU GO
THROUGH THE BOOK OF JUDGES.
00:53:10.19\00:53:12.95
YOU CAN SEE WHEN THAT GENERATION
DIED OFF THEY HAD PEACE FORTY
00:53:12.95\00:53:15.52
YEARS OR THEY
HAD WAR FORTY YEARS.
00:53:15.52\00:53:17.09
AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE
EVERYTHING WAS IN GEN - DAVID
00:53:17.09\00:53:19.23
REIGNED FORTY YEARS, SOLOMON
REIGNED FORTY YEARS - SAUL
00:53:19.23\00:53:22.00
REIGNED FORTY YEARS.
INTERESTING, FIRST THREE
00:53:22.00\00:53:23.63
KINGS, FORTY, FORTY, FORTY.
MOSES SPENT FORTY YEARS IN
00:53:23.63\00:53:27.17
EGYPT, FORTY IN THE WILDERNESS,
FORTY LEADING THEM FROM EGYPT
00:53:27.17\00:53:30.37
THROUGH THE WILDERNESS.
SO JESUS SAID THIS GENERATION
00:53:30.37\00:53:33.81
WILL NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL
ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.
00:53:33.81\00:53:36.68
HE'S TALKING, PRINCIPALLY,
THERE FROM THOSE SIGNS TO THE
00:53:36.68\00:53:40.35
DESTRUCTION OF
JERUSALEM. IT FIT PERFECTLY.
00:53:40.35\00:53:43.79
HE - FROM 30 AD TO 70 AD
THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED.
00:53:43.79\00:53:49.26
IT'S NEVER BEEN
REBUILT - BUT IT'S INTERESTING.
00:53:49.26\00:53:51.86
HE SAID JERUSALEM WOULD BE
TRODDEN DOWN TO THE GENTILES
00:53:51.86\00:53:54.50
UNTIL THE TIME OF THE
GENTILES BE FULFILLED.
00:53:54.50\00:53:57.83
CAN YOU PLEASE POINT TO ME ANY
OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD THAT
00:53:57.83\00:54:00.24
COMES CLOSE TO DOING WHAT
THE JEWS HAVE DONE, IN BEING
00:54:00.24\00:54:03.20
DISPOSSESSED FROM THEIR
LAND THREE TIMES, IN A FOREIGN
00:54:03.20\00:54:07.88
COUNTRY, COMING BACK AND GETTING
THEIR PROPERTY BACK AGAIN.
00:54:07.88\00:54:12.11
THEY WERE DISPOSSESSED WHEN THEY
LEFT IN THE DAYS OF JACOB, THEY
00:54:12.11\00:54:15.55
WERE DISPOSSESSED IN THE TIME
WHEN THE BABYLONIANS CARRIED
00:54:15.55\00:54:18.09
THEM OFF, THEY WERE DISPOSSESSED
1,900 YEARS FROM 70 AD TO 1948
00:54:18.09\00:54:24.06
AND NOW THEY'RE A NATION
AGAIN. NO OTHER NATION HAS EVEN
00:54:24.06\00:54:27.50
SURVIVED HAVING
THEIR OWN IDENTITY, BEING
00:54:27.50\00:54:29.86
DISPOSSESSED, FOR 200 YEARS.
BUT THE JEWS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE
00:54:29.86\00:54:34.34
THE SCRIPTURES AS AN ANCHOR
FOR WHAT THEIR BELIEF AND THEIR
00:54:34.34\00:54:37.37
CULTURE IS, HAVE SURVIVED
MILLENNIA. AND GOD SAID THEY'D
00:54:37.37\00:54:41.84
BE TRODDEN DOWN UNTIL THE TIME
OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED.
00:54:41.84\00:54:44.75
THERE'S A LOT OF DEBATE ABOUT
WHAT THAT MEANS, AND I'M NOT
00:54:44.75\00:54:46.88
SURE I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS,
BUT YOU CAN'T DENY THAT WHAT'S
00:54:46.88\00:54:50.82
HAPPENED WITH THE NATION OF
ISRAEL IS AT LEAST REMARKABLE.
00:54:50.82\00:54:54.79
AND YOU WONDER,
SOMETIMES, HOW FAR IS IT?
00:54:54.79\00:54:59.76
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN THE
WORLD LAST UNTIL JESUS COMES?
00:54:59.76\00:55:03.23
HE SAID, 'IN SUCH AN HOUR AS
YOU THINK NOT, THE SON OF MAN
00:55:03.23\00:55:05.93
COMES.' THAT MEANS IT WON'T BE -
I DON'T THINK JESUS IS GOING TO
00:55:05.93\00:55:08.50
COME WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD
IS HANGING BY A TOTAL THREAD.

HE SAID THERE'LL BE
PLANTING AND BUILDING.
00:55:11.54\00:55:14.74
THERE'LL BE MARRYING - THOSE ARE
THINGS - I MEAN, YOU PLANT WHEN

YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT A
FUTURE. YOU BUILD WHEN YOU THINK

YOU'VE GOT A FUTURE.
