Hello, welcome back, friends.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
We have had
such a powerful study
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.27
on talking about Serpentology,
00:00:04.30\00:00:06.27
that first lie
that the devil told
00:00:06.30\00:00:07.77
in reference to, you
shall not surely die.
00:00:07.80\00:00:10.61
We've studied it,
we know that the Bible,
00:00:10.64\00:00:12.34
what the Bible teaches on this.
00:00:12.37\00:00:13.71
Pastor, I'm
gonna pitch it to you,
00:00:13.78\00:00:15.18
how do we get to heaven?
00:00:15.21\00:00:17.35
If not, by way of immediate,
00:00:17.38\00:00:19.18
you know,
immediately after death?
00:00:19.21\00:00:20.55
How do we get to
heaven, according to the Bible?
00:00:20.62\00:00:22.25
Very simply, John
14:3, the Lord says,
00:00:22.28\00:00:25.29
"I will come again
and receive you to Myself,
00:00:25.32\00:00:28.99
that where I am,
there you may be also."
00:00:29.02\00:00:31.73
He left to
prepare a place for us
00:00:31.76\00:00:33.90
and He says, "If I'm going,
00:00:33.93\00:00:35.30
I will come
again to receive you."
00:00:35.33\00:00:37.83
It's the reception.
00:00:37.87\00:00:39.20
That's why the
resurrection is so important.
00:00:39.23\00:00:41.10
He's gonna receive the saints.
00:00:41.14\00:00:42.47
We shall be caught
up together to meet Him,
00:00:42.50\00:00:44.51
but it's
interesting, He said in John 13,
00:00:44.54\00:00:47.08
very carefully in
verse 33, "Little children,
00:00:47.11\00:00:49.71
I shall be with you
a little while longer.
00:00:49.74\00:00:52.08
You will seek Me, and
as I said to the Jews,
00:00:52.11\00:00:54.52
'Where I am
going, you cannot come.'"
00:00:54.55\00:00:58.25
Where am I going?
00:00:58.29\00:00:59.62
I'm going where you cannot come.
00:00:59.65\00:01:01.16
So you're not dying to go there.
00:01:01.19\00:01:02.76
I'm going there to come
back, and then take you there.
00:01:02.79\00:01:05.59
When I come back,
then I'm taking you,
00:01:05.63\00:01:07.40
but when I
leave, you can't come.
00:01:07.43\00:01:09.66
So we have to wait for
the coming of the Lord.
00:01:09.70\00:01:11.03
Praise the Lord. Dako?
00:01:11.07\00:01:12.40
Amen.
00:01:12.43\00:01:13.77
I agree, I think we tend to make
00:01:13.84\00:01:15.24
the Second Coming of Jesus
and the hope for eternal life,
00:01:15.27\00:01:18.07
in personal,
00:01:18.11\00:01:19.44
when we separate it from Christ
00:01:19.47\00:01:21.04
coming and
receiving us unto Himself.
00:01:21.08\00:01:23.48
When he said
there, as pastor read,
00:01:23.55\00:01:25.45
"I go to
prepare a place for you.
00:01:25.48\00:01:26.82
And if I go to prepare a place
for you, I will come again,
00:01:26.85\00:01:30.39
and receive you
unto Myself," right?
00:01:30.42\00:01:33.56
It's not just
some like, you know,
00:01:33.59\00:01:35.19
poofing away as some
people think about it.
00:01:35.22\00:01:37.33
It's a receiving.
00:01:37.36\00:01:38.89
Jesus receiving us unto Himself.
00:01:38.93\00:01:40.73
And as you pointed
out in 1 Thessalonians,
00:01:40.80\00:01:42.26
well, that will
happen together so...
00:01:42.30\00:01:44.00
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:01:44.07\00:01:45.40
Hey, we thank you so
much for joining us today.
00:01:45.43\00:01:47.07
We wish we had more
time to unpack this further,
00:01:47.14\00:01:49.40
but we're gonna have
more programs like this
00:01:49.44\00:01:51.14
in the future.
00:01:51.17\00:01:52.51
Thank you so much
for joining us today
00:01:52.54\00:01:53.98
and may God continue
to bless you abundantly
00:01:54.01\00:01:56.78
forevermore
throughout your days.
00:01:56.85\00:01:58.78
Have a good day, and God bless.
