HE HAS A GIFT THAT HAS SO 11:51 APPROPRIATELY BLESSED PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, AND EVERY TIME 11:53 HE PLAYS, WE KNOW IT COMES FROM HIS HEART. 11:56 IT IS VERY APPROPRIATE THAT SONG, "CARRY YOU." 12:00 THE LORD HAS PROMISED TO CARRY US THROUGH TRIALS AND 12:06 TRIBULATIONS, AND THE LORD IS FAITHFUL. 12:08 I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN WITH A WORD OF PRAYER. 12:16 PASTOR JOHN DINZEY WOULD YOU SAY A WORD OF PRAYER FOR US. 12:19 IF YOU ARE DRIVING, PLEASE DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES. 12:25 WE'LL UNDERSTAND. BUT GET YOUR BIBLES, BECAUSE IN 12:28 THE SECOND HOUR, WE'L GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SEND YOUR QUESTIONS 12:32 IN. YOU SEND THOSE QUESTIONS TO L 12:42 LIVE@3ABN.TV, OR IF YOU WANT TO CALL THEM IN, 618-627-4651. 12:47 SEND THE QUESTIONS IN. TRY TO KEEP THEM CONCISE.-SOMETIMES PEOPLE SEND 12:54 DISSERTATIONS AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. 12:57 SO THE MORE PRECISE YOU ARE, THE GREATER THE CHANCE WE CAN GET TO-THAT. 13:06 >> OUR LOVING HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE 13:14 HOLY HOLY SCRIPTURES. 13:16 AS WE STUDY THIS TOPIC, WE ASK FOR YOUR HOLY SPIRIT TO GIVE US 13:22 UNDERSTANDING, AND TO OPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING, THAT WE MAY 13:26 UNDERSTAND AND REACH A BETTER COMMUNICATION WITH YOU, LORD. 13:30 WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL HELP US TO ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK THROUGH US. 13:37 WE PRAY FOR YOUR HOLY SPIRIT TO BE POURED UPON US. 13:43 WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL BRING SCRIPTURES TO OUR MIND, AND AS 13:47 WE SHARE THEM, LORD, YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WILL HELP PEOPLE ALL OVER 13:54 THE WORLD TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. 13:58 WE ASK FOR THESE THINGS, LORD, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN. 14:03 >> AMEN. THANK YOU, JOHN, AND DEE. 14:08 THE BEST PLACE TO BEGIN, WE THOUGHT -- DIFFERENCES OF 14:12 OPINION -- BUT WE THOUGHT ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO BEGIN ABOUT 14:15 THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS, WE THINK OF MATTHEW 24. 14:19 BUT LET'S BEGIN WITH JOHN 14. THE REASON THIS IS A GOOD 14:28 SCRIPTURE GENTLEMEN IS WE ARE LIVING IN A WORLD WITH A LOT OF 14:33 HEART TROUBLE. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT OPEN 14:36 HEART SURGERY, ALL WE DO HAVE -- AND IT JUST CAME TO MY 14:40 MIND, PASTOR KENNY SHELTON, DO REMEMBER HIM IN PRAYER. 14:44 HE HAS JUST CORRECTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SOME HEART 14:47 CHALLENGES, AND WE'RE PRAYING FOR HIM TO COME THROUGH THAT, 14:51 WHETHER HE'S GOING TO HAVE SURGERY OR NOT, I'M NOT EXACTLY 14:55 SURE. BUT WE DO KNOW HE IS IN THE 14:57 HOSPITAL. KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS; THAT 15:01 THE LORD WILL RESTRENGTH HIM AND HE AND HIS WIFE CHRIS CAN 15:05 CONTINUE SERVING THE MINISTRY. ON ANOTHER NOTE PRAY FOR OUR 15:11 FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR, DANNY SHELTON. 15:14 HE HAS GOT A LITTLE COLD. THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR PEOPLE 15:18 LIKE TO SHARE THINGS. WE GET GIFTS, AND WE GET COLDS. 15:25 BUT PRAY FOR HIM. AND WE COVER THE GOOD THINGS AND 15:28 ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR GOD'S CAUSE. 15:31 BUT JOHN 14. LET'S LOOK AT THAT TOGETHER. 15:34 I'M GOING TO PUT A LITTLE -- MY LITTLE MARKER IN MATTHEW, 15:38 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TO MATTHEW, AND DEE, SINCE YOU 15:42 ARE THE -- SINCE YOU ARE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK, WHY DON'T YOU 15:47 WALK US THROUGH JOHN 14, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL 15:52 PROMISES THAT JESUS MADE ABOUT HIS SECOND COMING. 15:57 >> OKAY. JOHN 14 VERSES 1-3. 16:03 BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME. 16:07 IN MY FATHER'S THROWS ARE MANY MANSIONS OR ROOMS AND IF IT WERE 16:11 NOT SO I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU. IF I GO AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR 16:16 YOU, I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU TO MYSELF THAT WHERE 16:19 I AM, THERE YOU MAY BE ALSO. >> AMEN. 16:21 >> AND EXPLAINING THIS. OR EXPOUNDING ON THIS, THIS 16:27 PROMISE WAS MADE TO THE DISCIPLES. 16:29 >> YEAH. >> AND THE BIBLE WAS NOT DIVIDED 16:32 THIS IS CHAPTER 13, CHAPTER 14, 15, IT IS A CONTINUATION OF THE 16:39 THOUGHT IN CHAPTER 13. AND WHEN HE OUTLINED THE 16:43 CHALLENGES THAT THE DISCIPLES WILL FACE, HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES 16:48 HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE, AND HE SAID TO THEM IN JOHN 13 LOOK AT 16:55 WHAT HE SAYS IN VERSE 33. PASTOR DINZEY DO YOU HAVE THAT? 17:01 >> I DO. >> LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID. 17:04 >> LITTLE CHILDREN, YEPT A LITTLE WHILE I AM WITH YOU. 17:09 ROW YOU SHALL SEEK ME AND WHETHER I GO, YOU CANNOT COME, 17:12 SO NOW I SAY TO YOU. >> SO HE SAYS WHERE I'M GOING, 17:17 YOU CAN'T COME. AND HE CONTINUES THAT THOUGHT IN 17:21 JOHN 14. SO LET NOT YOUR HEARTS BE 17:25 TROUBLED. YOU CAN'T COME, BUT I WILL COME 17:27 AGAIN. >> YEAH. 17:28 SOMETHING THAT IS AMAZING IS THAT JESUS IS PLAYING ON A 17:32 CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING OF MATRIMONY OF LANGUAGE IN THEIR 17:36 DAY. WHAT A MAN WOULD DO IS WHEN HE 17:40 FOUKD THE GIRL HE WAS LOOKING FOR, IT SAYS MANSIONS IN THE NEW 17:43 KING JAMES, BUT THE BETTER TRANSLATION IS ROOMS. 17:47 HE IS BUILDING AN ADDITION ON HIS FATHER'S HOUSE. 17:52 HE LEAVES THE GIRL, HE BUILDS THE ROOM ON TO HIS HOUSE, AND 17:57 THEN HE IS GOING TO COME BACK AND GET HER. 18:01 SO IT'S NOT THIS DAY OF FIRE AND VENGEANCE AND FEAR FOR THE 18:05 BELIEVER, IT'S ACTUALLY A WEDDING. 18:08 IT'S A MATRIMONIAL CEREMONY. IT SAYS THAT IN ISAIAH 22 -- 18:20 >> ISAIAH 25. >> 25. 18:25 SO ONCE I HEARD THE, IT SEEMED LIKE THE SECOND COMING IS NOT A 18:30 SCARY THING, HE IS COMING FOR ME AS HIS BRIDE. 18:32 I THINK THAT'S AMAZING. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE DISCOVER 18:36 IS WHEN THE WORD MANSIONS IS USED, WE LIKE THE WORD MANSIONS 18:43 BECAUSE HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE IN MANSIONS? 18:47 THE MAJORITY DON'T. AND THE WORD MASION IS OFTEN 18:53 USED TO EXEVERYONE -- EXEMPLIFY THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO BRING 19:03 YOU TO A SHACK, HE IS BRINGING YOU TO MANSION. 19:06 WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THAT, PASTOR? 19:10 >> YOU KNOW, IT'S WONDERFUL THE WAY JESUS ASSURES HIS DISCIPLES, 19:16 WHICH IS AN ASSURANCE FOR US AS WELL, THAT WHERE HE IS GOING, WE 19:19 ARE GOING TO BE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 19:21 >> AND HE ASSURES THEM THAT THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR 19:25 EVERYONE. >> UH-HUH. 19:26 >> IN SPANISH THE WORD IS DWELLING PLACE. 19:31 SO IT'S NOT THAT YOU ARE COMING JUST FOR A VISIT, AND THEN GO 19:35 BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE. YOU ARE GOING TO BE WITH JESUS, 19:38 HE SAYS WHERE I AM, THERE YOU WILL BE ALSO. 19:42 YOU ARE GOING TO BE WITH ME. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ASSURANCE 19:46 FOR US TODAY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FACING 19:49 TODAY, WHAT TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS OR FEARS YOU MAY HAVE, BUT WE 19:53 HAVE AN ASURESANCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON. 19:58 SO WHATEVER SUFFERING YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, WHATEVER TRIALS, 20:02 WHATEVER FEAR YOU HAVE, YOU CAN PUT IT AWAY. 20:06 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND ALLOW JESUS TO COMFORT 20:15 US, AND HE WILL DELIVER US, AND THE ASSURANCE IS HE HAS GOT A 20:22 PLACE FOR US. >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF 20:24 THE THINGS THAT WE FACE IN PREPARATION AND AS WE WAIT FOR 20:28 THE COMING OF THE LORD. RIGHT NOW WE LIVE IN A WORLD 20:31 THAT IS RACKED WITH CONFUSION, RACKED WITH THE FEAR OF 20:37 TERRORISM. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE MANY IN 20:39 AMERICA WHO ARE WONDERING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON JANUARY 20:43 21ST, WHEN THE NEW PRESIDENT IS INAUGURATED. 20:48 THE UNITED NATIONS FOR SOMETIME BEEN RECOINED THE DIVIDED 20:55 NATION -- OR THE DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA. 20:58 AND WE HAVE THIS FEAR OF TERRORISM THAT CAN POP AT ANY 21:02 MOMENT. WE MAKE ELECTRONIC THINGS 21:05 THAT -- AS JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE 21:10 MAROONED IN AIRPORTS, STRANDED IN AIRPORTS, THAT WERE COMING 21:14 INTO AMERICA FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES, BECAUSE OF A GLITCH 21:17 IN A COMPUTER. AND THEY SAID WELL, WITH 21:21 SOMETHING OF SUCH GREAT VALUE HOW CAN WE ALLOW OUR PEOPLE TO 21:26 BE PUT IN SUCH ADVERSE CONDITIONS. 21:29 THEN THERE'S THE ECONOMIC INSTABILITY, AND WE TALK ABOUT 21:33 MURDER IN AMERICA, CRIME AND VIOLENCE, AND BLOODSHED, AND 21:36 BROKEN FAMILIES, AND JUST -- THERE'S A PLETHORA OF 21:40 CONDITIONS THAT EXIST IN OUR WORLD TODAY THAT JESUS SAID 21:45 WOULD EXIST AS AN INDICATION OF HIS SOON RETURN. 21:47 WE'RE GOING TO GO TO 2 TIMOTHY. THE COMING OF THE LORD IN ORDER 21:55 FOR -- AS PASTOR DINZEY SAID, THIS IS AN EVENT OF HOPE. 22:00 AND FOR THIS EVENT TO BE AN EVENT OF HOPE, AND AS DEE JUST 22:06 SAID, WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, AND HE WILL SAVE US. 22:10 THE QUESTION IS, SAVE US FROM WHAT? 22:12 >> UH-HUH. >> SO LET'S LOOK AT THIS. 22:17 2 TIMOTHY 3. LET ME SEE, YOU READ ONE. 22:21 YOU READ ONE. I'LL READ THIS ONE. 22:26 2 TIMOTHY 3, AND YOU'LL FIND A WORD HERE, AND AMAZINGLY HE USES 22:32 THE PHRASE LAST DAYS, LOOK AT THE CONDITIONS OF OUR WORLD, AND 22:36 WE CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT WHAT JESUS SAID WILL HAPPEN PRIOR TO 22:41 A SOON RETURN IS BEING OUTLINED HERE. 22:44 LET'S GO THROUGH THIS A LITTLE AT A TIME. 22:47 BUT KNOW THIS -- OR THIS KNOW ALSO AS THE KING JAMES VERSION 22:54 SAYS. IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES 22:58 WILL COME. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BIBLE 23:03 WRITERS MEAN WHEN HE SAYS PERILOUS. 23:05 >> STRESS. >> OKAY. 23:08 STRESSFUL. WHAT ELSE? 23:09 >> TIMES OF DANGER. >> TIMES OF DANGER. 23:11 >> TIMES OF DANGER, AND WHEN YOU THINK OF DANGER, THERE ARE 23:15 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DANGER. >> UH-HUH. 23:18 >> RIGHT NOW -- CORRECTLY, YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING TO PEOPLE 23:21 AND THERE'S EVEN DANGER ON THE INTERNET. 23:24 >> OH, YEAH. >> THERE'S DANGER OF JUST GOING 23:28 OUT INTO THE STREET. WE HEARD -- WE WERE TALKS TO 23:31 SOMEONE RECENTLY, AND THEY SAID, OH, NO, WE DON'T GO OUT AT NIGHT 23:37 BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS. YESTERDAY WE WERE VISITING A 23:41 SPANISH COUPLE THAT IS COMING TO VISIT THE CHURCH HELLEN AND HER 23:46 HUSBAND. >> YES. 23:47 >> AND THEY ARE MELBIN, THEY HAD THE TV ON, AND THEY WERE. 23:54 WAING THE NEWS. SO THEY ARE SPANISH, THEY ARE 23:56 WATCHING SPANISH NEWS FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRY, HONDURAS. 24:01 THEY HAD THIS -- THERE WAS A -- A VAN ON FIRE, AND THEY 24:05 KEPT SAYING THIS IS THE 12TH -- THEY BURNED LAST YEAR IN 24:15 2016, 12 VEHICLES LIKE THIS. JUST RANDOMLY BECAUSE THEY ARE 24:19 PROTESTING SOMETHING. THEY ARE UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING. 24:22 SO THEY ARE BURNING THESE VEHICLES -- 24:25 >> INTENTIONALLY. >> INTENTIONALLY. 24:31 AND THE FIRST ONE ALREADY IN 2017. 24:34 THEY HAVE ALREADY BURNED ANOTHER ONE. 24:36 AND THEY SHOWED THIS MAN THAT MADE AN APPEAL. 24:39 YOU KNOW, WE ARE -- WE ARE -- WE ARE BRETHREN, 24:44 WE -- WE'RE -- LET'S STOP DOING THIS. 24:46 AND LET'S DO RESPECTFUL THINGS. LET'S RESPECT ONE ANOTHER, AND 24:51 HE MADE AN APPEAL. BUT SOCIETY IS -- IS IN A 24:56 TERRIBLE CONDITION. WE RECENTLY TOOK OUR SON TO 25:00 CHICAGO. CHICAGO HAD ONE OF THE HIGHEST 25:02 MURDER RATES LAST YEAR. >> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. 25:05 >> SO WHEREVER YOU GO -- I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS ANYPLACE YOU 25:10 CAN GO THAT YOU CAN SAY IT'S COMPLETELY SAFE. 25:14 AND WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE SOMEBODY CAN PUSH A BUTTON AND 25:20 FIRE MISSILES AT ANOTHER COUNTRY. 25:24 >> AND THERE IS A FEAR THAT IRAN OR ONE OF THESE COUNTRIES CAN 25:28 GET THEIR HANDS ON A NUCLEAR WEAPON. 25:31 AND THEN YOU HAVE CHINA SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO TEST A NUCLEAR 25:36 WEAPON THAT CAN REACH AS FAR AS SEATTLE -- 25:39 >> KOREA. >> KOREA. 25:42 SO THERE IS THIS UNCERTAINTY IN THE WORLD. 25:46 AND CONTINUE DEE. >> MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF 25:50 THEMSELVES, LOVERS OF MONEY, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, 25:55 UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY. >> MEN LOVERS OF THEMSELVES. 26:01 IN WHAT WAYS DO WE SEE THAT? >> SOCIAL MEDIA. 26:05 WE LIVE IN THE SELFIE GENERATION. 26:09 WE'RE TAKING AS MANY PICTURES OF THEMSELVES AS WE CAN. 26:12 >> LOVERS OF THEMSELVES. BUT IT ALSO SAYS LOVERS OF 26:17 MONEY. >> UH-HUH. 26:19 >> DO WE FIND THAT? >> OH, YES. 26:21 >> NOW IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MONEY? 26:26 BUT THE LOVE OF MONEY -- >> THAT'S THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. 26:34 >> IT GOES ON, BOASTERS, PROUD, BLAST FEEMY. 26:53 DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS. ARE CHILDREN DISOBEDIENT TO 26:58 THEIR PARENTS TODAY? >> OH, YEAH. 27:02 >> THE PASTOR AND HIS WIFE RAISE THEIR SONS IN FEAR OF THE LORD 27:13 AND THEIR PARENTS. [ LAUGHTER ] 27:16 >> I JUST SAW A SHOCKING NEWS REPORT ON ABC WORD NEWS ABOUT 27:24 THESE FOUR TEENAGERS THAT -- THAT BRUTALLY BEAT UP 27:29 THIS YOUNG CAUCASIAN BOY -- >> HE HAD A DISABILITY OF SOME 27:36 SORT. >> FOUR AFRICAN AMERICAN YOUTH 27:38 BEAT UP THIS DISABLED YOUNG WHITE BOY, AND THE NEWS SAYS 27:44 THEY ARE FACING AS MANY AS 50 YEARS EACH. 27:49 TEENAGERS NEEDLESSLY TRAUMATIZING SOMEONE. 27:51 AND YOU HAVE THE FLIP SIDE, BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS THING IN 27:56 AMERICA HAPPENING THIS BLACK ON WHITE CRIME, THIS WHITE ON BLACK 28:02 CRIME. AND YOU HAD THIS YOUNG PERSON 28:06 THAT PARTICIPATED IN A PRAYR MEETING AND THEN SHOT UP ALL OF 28:13 THESE AFRICAN AMERICANS. AND HE SAID I DON'T WANT A 28:18 DEFENDER, I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING. 28:21 SO WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS PERILOUS TIMES WILL COME, CRIME OF ALL 28:26 DESCRIPTIONS IS TAKING PLACE IN AMERICA, BUT OTHER PLACES IN THE-WORLD. 28:30 >> YES. YES. 28:31 WE SAW IN 2016 MORE THAN ANY OTHER YEAR, THE -- THE PEOPLE 28:37 PROTESTING THINGS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 28:38 >> AND THEY WENT TO THE STREETS, AND THEY -- BASICALLY THEY WERE 28:42 AT WAR WITH THE POLICE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 28:45 >> IN MANY CITIES, AND SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT IT -- IT WAS 28:50 PICKED UP IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THEY WERE PROTESTING IN 28:53 OTHER -- PEOPLE WERE GOING TO THE STREET PROTESTING IN OTHER 28:56 COUNTRIES, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU -- APPARENTLY IS GOING 28:59 TO CONTINUE. >> DISREGARD FOR ORDER. 29:02 >> DISREGARD FOR ORDER. I WAS -- I DON'T KNOW 20, 25 29:08 YEARS AGO, I GUESS I CAN SAY THAT THAT I'M ALMOST 58, AND I 29:15 SAW A PART OF A TV PROGRAM, AND IT WAS A COMEDY, AND THE YOUNG 29:21 BOY THERE SAID SOMETHING, AND THEY HAVE THE LAUGH TRACKS, YOU 29:26 KNOW, IN THE COMEDY, AND PEOPLE WERE LAUGHING AND LAUGHING AT 29:30 THE THING THE YOUNG BOY SAID TO THE PARENTS, AND I SAID 29:34 THAT'S -- THAT'S HORRIBLE WHAT -- AND HE WAS, ONE, 29:38 DISRESPECTFUL TO THE PARENTS, AND TWO, MADE THE PARENTS LOOK 29:43 STUPID, AND PEOPLE WERE JUST LAUGHING AT THIS. 29:47 AND IT HAS -- THE TELEVISION HAS EDUCATED PEOPLE, YOUNG 29:52 PEOPLE -- YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO PARENTS. 29:55 YOU DON'T HAVE TO RESPECT THEM. SO TELEVISION IS MOLDING PEOPLE 30:01 INTO A CHARACTER THAT IS CHALLENGING TEACHERS IN SCHOOLS. 30:06 IT'S CHALLENGING PARENTS AS WELL. 30:10 SO WHEN THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS -- 30:14 >> RIGHT. >> -- IT' A BEEN FULFILLED 30:17 DECADES AGO. >> RIGHT. 30:18 BUT IT'S INCREASING. IT'S INCREASING IN OUR SOCIETY 30:23 WHERE THERE IS THIS DISREGARD OF AUTHORITY. 30:26 THAT'S WHEN YOU DISREGARD THE PARENT THE TEACHER CAN'T DO 30:32 ANYTHING, THE POLICE OFFICER CAN'T DO ANYTHING. 30:35 AND WE HAVE THIS RISING LACK OF ORDER FOR A SOCIETY THAT'S 30:40 IMPLODING ON ITSELF. CONTINUE ON TO THE NEXT VERSE, 30:43 BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH HERE, UNG THANKFUL, UNHOLY. 30:47 >> UNLOVING, UNFORGIVING, SLANDERING WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL, 30:53 BRUTAL DESPISERS OF GOOD. >> VERSUS 4. 30:59 >> LOVERS OF PLEASURE, RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD. 31:02 HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING ITS POWER AND FROM SUCH 31:07 PEOPLE TURN AWAY. THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT YOU TELL 31:10 YOUR BOYS. >> OH, YEAH. 31:14 THAT'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THE -- WHEN YOU BRING 31:18 YOUR CHILDREN IN -- IN THE WAY OF THE LORD, AND I PRAISE THE 31:22 LORD FOR THIS, AND I THANK THE LORD FOR MY LIFE. 31:25 WHAT A VITAL ROLE SHE HAS PLAYED IN HELPING OUR CHILDREN BE 31:31 RESPONSIBLE CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER PEOPLE. 31:35 THEY ARE COURTEOUS. THEY ARE KIND. 31:37 AND I SAY PRAISE THE LORD THAT THAT HAS BECOME A PART OF THEIR 31:41 CHARACTER. AND WE HAVE TO PRAY FOR THEM 31:44 THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE THIS WAY. 31:46 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BECAUSE THERE'S A MOLDING 31:49 INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD. AND BY GOD'S CREATION WE NEED TO 31:54 BE A LIGHT TO THOSE AROUND US. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 31:57 AND IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE OUTLINE 32:02 HERE, THE OTHER PLACE THAT WE'RE IMPLORED TO GO IS MATTHEW 24. 32:07 >> MATTHEW 24 IS THE SECOND COMING -- IF I COULD REFER TO IT 32:12 THE LITTLE BIBLE WITHIN THE BIBLE. 32:15 LET'S GO THERE AND LOOK AT SOME OF THESE UNMISTAKABLE SIGNS OF 32:19 THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. PAUSEINGS ON THIS NOTE, ONE OF 32:23 THE CHALLENGES THAT THE END OF A YEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF 32:27 ANOTHER BRINGS, THIS WHOLE IDEA THAT PEOPLE -- IT SEEMS AS 32:31 THOUGH WHEN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER COME AROUND IN A YEAR, 32:34 THERE SEEMS TO BE QUITE A BIT OF ATTENTION PLACED ON, DO YOU KNOW 32:38 WHO JUST PASSED AWAY? DO YOU KNOW WHO JUST DIED? 32:42 AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THEY DO THIS YEAR-END REVIEW, AND 32:48 SHOW ALL OF THE FAMOUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY. 32:52 ALL OF THE -- WHO'S WHO THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY IN SOCIETY. 32:58 AND MY WIFE AND I WERE HAVING DINNER, AND I SAID I WOULD LIKE 33:03 TO PAUSE SOMETIMES IN THOSE NEWS BROADCASTS, AND SEND THEM A 33:12 LETTER THAT SAYS YOU KNOW WHO ELSE DIED? 33:16 MY NEIGHBOR DIED. A TRANSIENT JUST DIED. 33:20 ANOTHER CHILD DIED OF HUNGER IN INDIA, OR ANOTHER PART OF THE 33:26 WORLD. AND WHAT THIS BROUGHT TO MY MIND 33:30 IS WE TEND TO SOMETIMES GIVE A LOT OF ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO 33:35 ARE THE KNOWNS. YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T 33:41 APPLAUD THE DEATH OF ANYONE. BUT THE BIBLE SAYS HOW MANY OF 33:44 US HAVE SINNED? ALL HAVE SINNED. 33:48 THE WEIGHT OF SIN IS? DEATH. 33:51 >> DEATH COMES TO THE WEALTHY, THE POOR, THE FAMOUS -- 33:55 >> EVEN TO THE HEALTHY. >> THE HEALTHY. 33:58 IT DOES HAVEN'T TO BE A DISEASE. PEOPLE CAN JUST DROP DEAD OF NO 34:04 APPARENT REASON. AND I NEED TO MENTION TWO HERE, 34:10 PASTOR CA AND IRMA, AN UNFORTUNATE EVENT CAME TO THEIR 34:21 FAMILY. IT'S A CUSTOM TO GO TO THE BEACH 34:25 AND HAVE FUN AS A FAMILY ON NEW YEAR'S. 34:33 AND FOUND OUT THE FAMILY WAS ON THE BEACH PLAYING. 34:37 AND IRMA'S SISTER'S HUSBAND JUMPED UP TO CATCH THE FRISBEE 34:48 AND HAD A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK. HE WASN'T ADVERTISED ON THE 34:54 NEWS, BUT THE WHOLE REALITY, THE BEAUTY OF THE SECOND COMING OF 34:58 JESUS IS TO PUT AN END TO THE VIOLENCE, THE CRIME, THE 35:02 SUFFERING, THE TERRORISM, THE WAR, THE BLOODSHED, TO THE 35:07 HATRED, TO THE PRIDE, SO THE LOSS OF LIFE, AND DEVALUING OF 35:13 LIFE TO THE MELTDOWN OF SOCIETY. I'M NOT PREACHING, BUT IF IT 35:17 WERE NOT FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD WHAT HOPE WOULD WE HAVE? 35:22 >> PAUL EVEN SAYS THAT, WE OF ALL MEN TO BE THE MOST PITIED. 35:30 AND THE SECOND COMING ISN'T JUST THE RECONCILIATION OF JESUS, BUT 35:36 GOD CARES SO MUCH ABOUT OUR HAPPINESS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS 35:40 WE HAVE DEVELOPED HERE, THAT IT WILL ALSO BE A RECONCILIATION 35:45 WITH THOSE WHO WE HAVE LOST. THERE WERE FRIENDS OF MINE WHO 35:49 LOST THEIR 19-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. 35:53 IT HAPPENED SIX DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, IT HAS BEEN SIX YEARS 35:59 NOW. AND WE LONG FOR THAT. 36:05 SEPARATION WAS MEANT TO BE SOMETHING THAT WAS 36:09 UNCOMFORTABLE, AND THAT IS GOING TO END AS WELL. 36:11 >> I'M GOING TO GET BACK TO YOU, BUT I LOST MY MOTHER-IN-LAW, SHE 36:16 LIVED A HEALTHY LIFE. DIDN'T DIE OF ANY DISEASE NO 36:21 HEART ACHE -- I MEAN NO HEART DISEASE, NO ARTHRITIS, BUT SHE 36:27 JUST WENT TO SLEEP WITH THE LORD WHEN SHE WAS 89 YEARS OLD. 36:34 AND THE ONLY SOLACE WE HAVE IS THAT WE'LL HERE HER IN ETERNITY. 36:42 AND THEN TWO WEEKS LATER MY UNCLE PASSED AWAY. 36:46 SO THERE ARE PEOPLE IN HEART ACHE AND SUFFERING. 36:49 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE LONELY. THE LORD WHEN HE COMES BACK. 36:53 THE REASON WHY PAUL CALLS IT THE BLESSED HOPE, IS ONE OF THE 36:58 REASONS WHY WE EMBRACE IT AT 3ABN IS THERE IS NO OTHER HOPE. 37:02 THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT CAUSES US TO PULSATE, EXCEPT 37:08 LOOKING FOR THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD. 37:11 >> YOU MENTIONED FAMILY MEMBERS PASSING AWAY, ONE OF OUR 37:16 PASTORAL STAFF, JOE BRIAN, HIS FATHER PASSED AWAY, AND I 37:20 REMEMBER WHEN MY FATHER PASSED AWAY, SO I SAID TO HIM, I'M 37:25 SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. AND HE SAID WE'LL SEE HIM AGAIN. 37:28 >> PRAISE THE LORD. >> SO THE CHRISTIAN FACES THE 37:35 LOSS -- IT HURS TO LOSE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER, BUT THERE IS THAT 37:41 HOPE, THE BIBLE CALLS IT BLESSED HOPE THAT WE WILL SEE THEM 37:50 AGAIN. I WANT TO ADDRESS ONE THING THAT 37:53 CAME TO MIND. WE ARE LIVING IN TIMES WHERE 37:56 THERE IS A DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. 37:59 >> THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. 38:00 >> I HEARD OF PEOPLE BEING KILLED FOR SUCH TRIVIAL THINGS 38:06 FOR A FEW DOLLARS IN THEIR WALLET, A PHONE. 38:10 >> A PAIR OF SNEAKERS. >> A PAIR OF SNEAKERS. 38:13 DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU SAY HOW IN THE WORLD -- WHAT -- WHAT 38:17 IS GOING ON IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE THAT THERE IS SUCH LITTLE 38:22 DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. SO WE ARE LIVING -- AS WE READ 38:27 IN PERILOUS TIMES. DIFFICULT TIMES. 38:31 PERILOUS IS ALSO DIFFICULT TIMES. 38:33 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THERE'S FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY 38:36 IN THE WORLD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 38:38 >> 2016 YOU HEARD OF BANKRUPTCIES IN -- IN EUROPE, 38:44 SPAIN, GREECE, ITALY HAD ISSUES. SOME SPANISH COUNTRIES AS WELL. 38:51 VENEZUELA. >> YEAH. 38:52 >> VENEZUELA THERE'S NO FOOD. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 38:56 >> AND IT'S -- FOR SEVERAL YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE, 39:01 BUT THEY HAVE COME TO THE POINT WHERE SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE 39:05 SOON. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 39:08 >> THE COLUMBIAN GOVERNMENT, THEY HAVE OPENED BORDERS FOR 39:17 CERTAIN HOURS A DAY SO PEOPLE CAN COME BUY FOOD. 39:22 I RECEIVED A PRAYER REQUEST, THEY USED AN APPLICATION MUCH IN 39:26 A SPANISH COUNTRY -- I WON'T MENTION IT -- BUT ANYWAY, ONE OF 39:31 THE CONFERENCE PRESIDENTS FROM VENEZUELA SAID PLEASE PRAY FOR 39:35 OUR PEOPLE IN SUCH AND SUCH A CITY. 39:38 PEOPLE ARE GOING FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE, JUST PLUNDERING, JUST 39:44 GOING INTO THE HOUSE, TAKING WHATEVER THEY CAN. 39:47 IF THERE'S FOOD, THEY TAKE IT. IF THERE ARE VALUABLES, THEY 39:51 TAKE THEM. BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE MONEY TO 39:53 BE ABLE TO BUY FOOD. >> THEY ARE WEIGHING MONEY NOW, 39:57 INSTEAD OF USING, MONEY RIGHT? >> IT'S HORRENDOUS. 40:01 SO WE ARE LIVING IN DIFFICULT TIMES, UNCERTAIN TIMES, AND 40:06 THERE'S THIS SWELLING OF EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS 40:09 COMING SOON. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 40:11 DEE IF SOMEBODY WALKED UP TO YOU AND SAID TELL ME ABOUT THE 40:15 SECOND COMING, WHAT WOULD COME TO YOUR MIND? 40:18 >> I CAN'T WAIT. IT'S A TIME OF HOPE FOR ME. 40:24 WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT GOD'S CONCERN FOR MY SOUL, THERE IS 40:28 NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS PLANET THAT JESUS ISN'T COMING 40:34 FOR, THE CHOICE IS THEIRS WHETHER THEY GO OR NOT. 40:38 SO IN MY MIND, YEAH, IT'S A TIME OF HOPE. 40:41 I KNOW JUST PRECEDING THAT, THERE IS GOING TO BE A TIME OF 40:46 TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTY SUCH AS HAS NEVER BEEN, BUT THE CHRIST 40:51 WHO ORDAINED ME TO LIVE HAS PROMISED TO SUSTAIN ME. 40:56 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IN THIS WORL YOU HAVE 41:00 TRIBULATION BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER BECAUSE I HAVE OVERCOME THE 41:03 WORLD. SO IF CHRIST HAS OVERCOME THE 41:05 WORLD ON MY BEHALF, I NEED NOT FEAR WHAT TRIBULATIONS I WILL 41:09 HAVE TO CONTEND WITH. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 41:12 >> THOSE ARE THE THOUGHTS THAT COME TO MY MIND ARE A SENSE OF 41:20 HOPEFULNESS. I LONG FOR THAT, AND I LONG FOR 41:23 IT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING NOW. 41:27 >> YOU JUST CAME FROM GYC WHERE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE 41:32 PREPARING FOR THE LORD. SO IT'S NOT JUST PEOPLE WHO ARE 41:36 APPROACHING RETIREMENT AGE, OR PEOPLE THAT ARE SLOWING DOWN, OR 41:39 READY TO -- YOU KNOW, MAY HAVE LOST A SPOUSE. 41:42 THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE. AMEN TO THAT? 41:45 >> AMEN. >> THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT 41:47 ARE SAYING WE WANT TO DO ALL IN OUR POWER TO HASTEN THE COMING 41:52 OF THE LORD. WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF 41:54 THE OTHER ASPECTS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY 41:58 SOMETHING, BECAUSE IT IS MY HOPE WHEN THIS PROGRAM IS OVER, OR 42:01 DURING THE TIME THIS PROGRAM IS ON THE AIR LIVE, THAT THE PEOPLE-pLISTENING TO US, THAT THEY WILL 42:07 HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE THAT JOHN THE DISCIPLE HAD WHEN JESUS 42:14 REVEALED TO HIM, REVELATION THE THINGS THAT WERE COMING, AND THE 42:18 JOY OF THOSE THAT ARE SAVED. NOTICE IN REVELATION 22-20. 42:29 I'LL JUST READ VERSE 20. >> SURE GO FOR IT. 42:33 >> HE WHICH TESTIFIES THESE THINGS SAID SURELY I COME 42:39 QUICKLY. NOW NOTICE WHAT JOHN SAYS. 42:44 AMEN. EVEN SO. 42:46 COME, LORD JESUS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 42:48 >> SO I HOPE THAT AS THIS PROGRAM PROGRESSES, PEOPLE WILL 42:52 HAVE THAT SAME DESIRE TO UNDERSTAND. 42:54 WOW, YES, JESUS -- JESUS IS GOING TO END ALL OF THE 42:58 SUFFERING AND WE'RE GOING TO BE REUNITED WITH OUR LOVED ONES. 43:02 THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SAY, YES, EVEN SO, SOME LORD JESUS. 43:07 >> AND SOME PEOPLE -- >> AND THE OLD TESTAMENT TALKS 43:12 ABOUT THAT JESUS IS COMING TO BRING JUSTICE TO THE EARTH. 43:16 ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPRESSED AND DEPRESSED, JESUS 43:21 IS COMING TO ESTABLISH EQUITY, TO ESTABLISH JUSTICE, TO BE OUR 43:28 VENG VENGEANCE. 43:30 JESUS IS COMING TO BE THERE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DOWN 43:36 INTERESTED TOED AND DEJECTED AND REJECTED. 43:40 EVEN THOUGH WE MAY HAVE PEACE IN OUR HEARTS. 43:44 GOVERNMENTALLY WE MAY NOT BE PERMITTED TO HAVE PEACE IN OUR 43:46 SOCIAL LIVES. JESUS IS COMING TO DEAL WITH 43:49 THAT. AND THAT GIVES ME PEACE AS WELL, 43:52 BECAUSE YOU SEE SO MUCH INJUSTICE ON TELEVISION, YOU 43:56 THINK HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO GO ON? 44:02 DANIEL 9 SAYS HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO GO ON? 44:07 AND HE TELLS HIM. >> MATTER OF FACT, HE SAID THE 44:14 FIRST SHALL BE LAST AND THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST -- 44:18 >> YEAH. >> -- THIS IS GOING TO BE A 44:20 SWITCHING OF PLACES. MANY PEOPLE LOOK AT THE 44:23 UNCERTAINTY IN OUR POLITICAL CLIMATE, LEAVING THE ELECTIONS 44:27 OUT OF THE WHOLE TOPIC, WE HAVE PUT OUR HOPES IN REPUBLICANS, 44:32 DEMOCRAT, OR INDEPENDENT, BUT IF YOUR HOPE IS NOT IN JESUS, THE 44:36 SEAT THAT MAN SITS IN IS AN UNSTABLE SEAT. 44:40 OUR HOPE IS IN JESUS. MATTHEW 24, WE'RE GOING TO ALSO 44:46 TALK ABOUT TONIGHT SOME OF THE FAILED PREDICTIONS OF THE SECOND 44:51 COMING OF JESUS. THERE HAVE BEEN MAY -- I THINK 44:53 I COUNTED MORE THAN 200 PREDICTIONS ALREADY, DATS SET. 44:59 GOING AS FAR BACK AS 30 AD, AND SOME OF THE PASSAGES IN THE 45:05 BIBLE THAT PEOPLE MISUNDERSTOOD. WE TALK ABOUT A CLIMATE THAT 45:08 PEOPLE WANT JESUS TO COME SO OFTEN, THAT THEY PREDICT AND 45:13 PREDICT AND PREDICT. AND Y2-K HOW OLD WERE YOU AT THE 45:23 TIME? >> I WAS 14, GOING TO TURN 15. 45:27 >> OKAY. Y2-K THERE WAS PANDA MODE UM. 45:40 >> THERE WAS. >> AND NOW THIS IDEA OF THE 45:46 ZOMBIE EPOCH -- APOCK LIPS. LET'S JUST GO THERE. 46:04 START WITH VERSE 3. >> THE DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM 46:07 PRIVATELY SAYING, TELL US WHEN WILL THESE THINGS BE, AND WHAT 46:11 WILL BE THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING? JESUS JUST SAID NOT ONE OF THESE 46:16 STONES WILL BE LEFT UPON ANOTHER. 46:18 AND THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR JUDAISM. 46:21 DON'T TOUCH THE ARC. SO HE SAYS HOW IS THIS GOING TO 46:26 TAKE PLACE. VERSE 4, AND JESUS ANSWERED THEM 46:28 AND SAID TO THEM, TAKE HE THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU. 46:33 THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING IN JESUS'S 46:36 MIND IS THE IDEA OF DECEPTION. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A 46:40 MOMENT. DECEPTION. 46:42 WHAT DO YOU THINK HE MEANT? I THINK WE CAN GO FORWARD TO 46:46 VERSE 5. >> YEAH, THAT EXPLAINS IT. 46:50 MANY WILL COME SAYING I AM CHRIST AND WILL DECEIVE MANY. 46:54 EVEN PAUL TALKED TO ONE OF THE CHURCHES, I THINK IT IS ONE OF 46:57 THE LETTERS TO THE CORINHIANS, THAT SOMEONE HAD SENT HIM A 47:03 LETTER SAYING THAT JESUS HAD ALREADY COME. 47:08 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> AND HE SAID THAT DIDN'T BE. 47:11 >> GO AHEAD. >> SO VERSE 6, YOU WILL HEAR OF 47:15 WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS. SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT TROUBLED. 47:18 IT'S HARD TO FEEL THAT WAY, BUT JESUS IS SAYING DON'T BE 47:23 TROUBLED, FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS, BUT 47:26 THE END IS NOT YET. >> SO HOW LONG HAVE WE HAD WARS? 47:31 >> SINCE THE DAYS OF JESUS. >> WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO 47:36 ALMOST THE BEGINNING THERE HAVE BEEN WARS, A FEW THOUSAND YEARS, 47:40 BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ESCALATION OF WARS AS TIME GOES 47:47 ON. WHERE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO START 47:48 TO WONDER, DOES THIS MEAN? DOES THIS MEAN? 47:52 I REMEMBER WHEN THE GULF WAR WAS TAKING PLACE. 47:55 PEOPLE WERE THINKING IS THIS THE END? 47:58 SO WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN, PEOPLE BEGIN TO WONDER, IS THIS 48:02 IT? BUT THE WONDERFUL THING IS THAT 48:04 WE DON'T -- WE DON'T RELY ON JUST ONE SIGN. 48:10 WE HAVE MANY SIGNS TO LOOK AT. THE WONDERFUL THING IS, THAT WE 48:14 CAN NOW LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES AND SEE THE PROPHECIES, AND SAY, 48:19 WOW, ALL OF THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. 48:23 WE'RE ALMOST THERE. THE TIME IS SO CLOSE. 48:27 >> UH-HUH. >> THE TIME IS RIGHT, LEAPT'S 48:32 SAY, THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR THE SECOND COMING. 48:34 >> THAT'S RIGHT. AND THERE ARE SOME 48:37 PASSAGES -- LET ME JUST PAUSE AND REMIND YOU BRIEFLY IF YOU 48:40 WANT TO SEND YOUR QUESTIONS IN. I WANT TO PLUG THAT IN. 48:43 BECAUSE THE SECOND HOUR, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE -- THE 48:48 UNCERTAINTY THAT IS SURROUNDING THIS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO TALK 48:51 ABOUT SPECIFIC THINGS, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PREDICTING THAT JESUS 48:56 WOULD HAVE COME ALRADY. SOME HAVE PUT THEIR HOPE IN THE 49:00 RAPTURE, THE SECRET RAPTURE. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY TO 49:07 DELEGITIMIZE THAT. WHY IS THE RAPTURE NOT A VIABLE 49:11 SOLUTION TO THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 49:13 WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT 49:18 SURROUND THIS WONDERFUL EVENT. THE COUNTERFEIT PREDICTIONS. 49:22 THE CONDITIONS OF OUR WORLD, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT ALREADY. 49:25 BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO YOU, SO YOU CAN 49:28 CALL AND SECOND QUESTIONS IN. YOU CAN SECOND THOSE. 49:34 IF YOU EMAIL TO LIVE@3ABN.TV, OR CALL 618-627-4651. 49:49 EMAIL LIVE@3ABN.TV, AND SEND YOUR QUESTIONS. 49:54 AND TRY TO KEEP THEM ALONG THE LINES OF THE TOPIC. 49:57 WHEN WE SAY THE SECOND COMING, IT'S LIKE PRESENTING A TOPIC ON 50:01 LOVE. WHAT KIND OF LOVE? 50:04 WHAT KIND OF LOVE? BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A BROOD TOPIC, 50:10 BUT WE HAVE SO MANY AVENUES TO COVER HERE. 50:12 AS WE CONTINUE -- WE TALKED ABOUT WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS. 50:17 AND WAR AS WE HAVE KNOWN IT HAS PRIMARILY BEEN OVERSEAS FOR 50:23 AMERICA. SO WHERE DO WE HAVE WAR NOW? 50:27 IN AMERICA. >> YEAH, WE'RE HAVING, YOU KNOW, 50:31 TURMOIL IN OUR CITIES. WE'RE HAVING CYBER WARFARE. 50:37 THAT HAPPENED IN UKRAINE THEIR POWER GRID GOT SHUT DOWN BY 50:41 HACKERS. IT'S NO LONGER JUST THE TYPICAL 50:44 WARFARE THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST OF ONE BATTLE LINE VERSUS 50:48 THE OTHER BATTLE LINE. YOU HAVE DRONES, GUERRILLA 50:53 WAR WAR 50:57 WARFARE. >> IT'S AMAZING YOU KNOW -- I 50:59 DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS POWER GRID BEING SHUT OFF THROUGH THE 51:03 INTERNET SYSTEM, BUT EVEN NOW THERE ARE PEOPLE DOING DIFFERENT 51:08 CRIMES THAT WERE UNHEARD OF. >> RIGHT. 51:10 >> IDENTITY THEFT. >> IDENTITY THEFT, YES. 51:14 >> PEOPLE CAN GO INTO YOUR ACCOUNT AND TAKE YOUR MONEY OUT 51:18 WITHOUT EVEN GOING TO YOUR BANK. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 51:21 >> SO WE'RE LIVING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES, AND SO THE BEST WE CAN DO 51:25 IS TO STAY CLOSE TO JESUS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 51:28 >> I WANT TO READ A SCRIPTURE, BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT 51:32 MATTHEW 24, AND SIGNS OF THE SECOND COMING. 51:35 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THERE'S AN INTERESTING 51:39 SCRIPTURE HERE? A FEW CHAPTERS BACK IN MATTHEW 51:45 16, WE'LL COME BACK TO MATTHEW 24. 51:48 >> SURE. >> IN MATTHEW 16 I WILL READ 51:54 VERSES 1, 2, AND 3. >> OKAY. 51:58 >> THEY CAME AND TEMPTING DESIRE HIM THAT HE WOULD SHOW THEM A 52:03 SIGN FROM HEAVEN. HE ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM, 52:07 WHEN IT IS EVENING, YOU SAY, IT WILL BE FAIR WEATHER, FOR THE 52:11 SKY IS RED, AND IN THE MORNING IT WILL BE FOUL WEATHER TODAY 52:16 FOR THE SKY IS RED AND [ INAUDIBLE ] OH, YE HYPOCRITES, 52:20 JESUS SAID, YOU CAN DISCERN THE FACE OF THE SKY, BUT CAN YE NOT 52:29 DISCERN THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES? SO THESE THINGS WE READ ARE VERY 52:35 POWERFUL. >> UH-HUH. 52:35 >> BECAUSE YOU CAN DISCERN THE WEATHER, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 52:40 SIGNS? WHAT ABOUT THE SIGNS THAT ARE 52:42 SAYING JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON? 52:44 SO WE HAVE TO ASK THE LORD TO HELP US, TO GIVE US THE SERMON 52:49 TO RECOGNIZE, ARE THESE THINGS TELLING ME THAT JESUS CHRIST IS 52:52 COMING SOON? AND I THINK WE HAVE WHAT YOU 52:55 WOULD CALL OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING 52:59 SOON. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE A DATE 53:03 TONIGHT. >> NO. 53:04 >> BUT WE'LL TELL YOU HE IS COMING VERY SOON. 53:10 >> THERE IS ANOTHER CLASS THAT JESUS DEALS WITH. 53:14 THE WICKED AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION [ INAUDIBLE ] PROPHET 53:21 JONAH. AND JESUS WAS ALSO TELLING HIM, 53:23 LIKE DON'T LET WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT CAUSE YOU TO LOSE 53:28 SIGHT OF THE REASON I'M HERE AT ALL. 53:30 THEY DIFFERENT PRIORITIES, POLITICAL AMBITIONS, SOME PEOPLE 53:33 ARE LIVING THEIR LIVES JUST BASED UPON SIGN WATCHING, AND 53:41 THEY ARE MISSING THE REASON. ONE WHY ARE YOU ASKING THIS? 53:48 AND TWO, YOU SEE ALL OF THIS STUFF, BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND 53:51 THE REAL ISSUES OF WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. 53:55 AND I LIKE HOW JESUS HAS THIS BROOD APPROACH TO TOUCHING ALL 54:02 CATEGORIES. >> AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE A 54:04 DATE AT ALL, BECAUSE THE DATE WAS NEVER THE ISSUE. 54:09 I PREACHED A SERMON ABOUT THE FIRST COMING OF CHRIST. 54:13 NO ONE KNOWS WHEN JESUS WAS BORN. 54:15 THE WORLD HAS CELEBRATED DECEMBER 25TH, BUT THERE'S NO 54:19 ACTUAL DATE GIVEN FOR THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, AND THE BIRTH OF JOHN 54:24 THE BAPTIST, WHICH WAS SIX MONTHS BEFORE JESUS. 54:31 BUT THE POINT THAT IS BEING MADE, IF YOU COGET CAUGHT UP ON 54:41 THE DATE, YOU MISS THE POINT. >> YEAH. 54:45 >> BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SIGNS WERE ALL POINTING TO THE 54:51 EMINENCE OF THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF CHRIST. 54:54 THE SHEPPARDS RECEIVED THE MESSAGE FROM THE ANGELS. 54:59 THOSE LOOKING FOR, THOSE STUDYING FOR, AND THOSE 55:03 PREPARING FOR WILL SEE THE SIGNS THAT ARE OBVIOUS. 55:05 >> YEAH. >> YOU CAN TELL THE WEATHER. 55:08 IT'S GOING TO RAIN. IT'S GOING TO SNOW. 55:10 IT IS GOING TO BE COLD. IT'S GOING TO BE WARM. 55:13 BUT ALL OF THE SIGNS ARE BEING FULFILLED AT A RAPID PACE BUT 55:19 MANY PEOPLE CAN'T SEE IT. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 55:22 AND AS WE GO TO MATTHEW 24, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT JESUS 55:26 HIGHLIGHTS SEVERAL TIMES. HE SAYS -- THESE THINGS ARE 55:28 GOING TO HAPPEN, AND THEN HE HIGHLIGHTS SOMETHING, AND THAT 55:33 IS THREE WORDS. IS IT FOUR? 55:36 BE YE ALSO READY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 55:39 >> AND WATCH. >> AND WHAT ELSE? 55:41 >> AND TO WATCH. >> SO WATCH AND BE READY. 55:45 >> UH-HUH. >> SO WHEN YOU WATCH, YOU ARE 55:48 NOT SITTING DOWN INACTIVELY. BLESSED IS THE SERVANT WHOM THE 55:55 LORD WILL FIND DOING WHEN HE COMES. 55:59 I WANT YOU TO READ VERSE 7 AND 8 JUST BEFORE WE FINISH OUR FIRST 56:04 HOUR, BECAUSE THIS IS SO SIGNIFICANT. 56:08 >> FOR NATION WILL RISE AGAINST NATION AND KINGDOM AGAINST 56:13 KINGDOM AND THERE WILL BE FAMILIAR ANYONES AND EARTHQUAKES 56:16 IN VARIOUS PLACES. AND ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE THE 56:20 BEGINNING OF SORROWS -- ALL OF THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF 56:24 SORROWS. >> SO THE WARS, NATION RISING 56:27 AGAINST NATION, THE FAMINES, THE DISEASES, EARTHQUAKES, HE SAYS 56:33 IN VERSE 6 AT THE END, BUT THE END IS NOT YET. 56:38 VERSE 8, THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS. 56:41 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK 56:44 ABOUT IN THE SECOND HOUR IS HOW DO WE TRANSITION FROM ALL OF 56:47 THESE SIGNS THAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING ANOTHER FOR THE LONGEST. 56:52 WARS, VIETNAM WAR, KOREA WAR, WORLD WAR I, WORLD WAR II. 57:00 ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED WITH SUCH RAPID PACE, AND THE 57:04 LORD IS SAYING, SOON THE SCENE IS GOING TO CHANGE, BECAUSE THE 57:08 END IS NOT YET. THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF 57:11 SORROWS. SO 20 SECONDS PASTOR DINZEY WHAT 57:15 DO WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO THAT JESUS IS GOING TO UNVEIL 57:20 NEXT? THAT WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO. 57:22 >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SAID THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION 57:26 WAS, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN INACTIVITY. 57:30 WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HELP OTHERS KNOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS COMING 57:34 SOON. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 57:35 WATCH AND -- >> BE READY. 57:37 >> BE READY. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE QUESTIONS IN 57:40 THE SECOND HOUR. ONCE AGAIN AT LIVE@3ABN.TV, OR 57:46 618-627-4651. WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A FEW 57:48 MOMENTS. DON'T GO AWAY. 57:49 ♪ |
