00:11 Shall we bow our heads for prayer?
00:14 Father in heaven, 00:17 what a privilege it is to call You Father, 00:20 the only, fully and completely faithful 00:23 Father in the universe. 00:25 Thank you for being a wonderful Father, 00:27 for giving us Your word. 00:29 A sure guide in the world that is so confused, 00:31 the religious world that is so confused. 00:35 We ask as we study the subject of the millennium 00:37 that Your Holy Spirit will be here to guide 00:39 our thoughts, 00:41 that we might understand the message 00:43 that You have for us in this particular moment. 00:49 We thank You for the privilege of prayer 00:51 and thank you for answering us 00:53 for we ask it in the precious name of Jesus, 00:55 amen. 00:58 Revelation 19:11-21 01:04 describes the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to this earth. 01:10 He is described as a rider on a white horse, 01:14 followed by all of the armies of heaven. 01:18 By this time, 01:22 what has happened is that much of the population 01:26 of the earth has been destroyed by the seven last plagues. 01:31 When Jesus actually arrives, 01:33 there is only a small remnant to destroy. 01:39 And this takes us to the text where we find this, 01:42 Revelation 19:21. 01:46 It says there, "And The Rest..." 01:49 The word "Rest" is the Greek word loipos, 01:52 which means those who are leftover, 01:56 it's a remnant word. 01:57 In other words, the wicked that are left 02:00 after the devastation of the plagues, 02:04 "...were slain "with the sword which proceeded 02:08 from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse." 02:11 So, in other words, at the Second Coming, 02:14 all of the wicked are destroyed, 02:18 the ones who remain after the outpouring 02:21 of the seven last plagues, and the Second Coming of Jesus. 02:26 Now, we find the millennial passage 02:30 in Revelation 20:1 02:32 through Revelation 21:8. 02:35 And I want to underline that this passage of scripture, 02:40 this portion of scripture, 02:43 is not in chronological order. 02:47 In other words, even though the millennium is described 02:50 from Revelation 20:1, through Revelation 21:8, 02:54 the events that are described are not in chronological order. 02:59 In fact, we're going to find 03:03 that in this portion of scripture, 03:07 there are four repetitive cycles. 03:11 In other words, the same material 03:13 is repeated four times, 03:16 not in linear fashion but in cyclical fashion. 03:19 It's kind of like Daniel 2 is repeated in Daniel 7, 03:23 is repeated in Daniel 8 and 9, 03:25 is repeated in Daniel 11 and 12. 03:28 Each time adding details 03:29 that you don't find in the previous outline. 03:32 So we're gonna find in our study of this millennial, 03:35 a portion of scripture 03:37 that there are four repetitive cycles 03:41 that describe events before, during, 03:45 and after the millennium, after the thousand years. 03:49 Each of those cycles has a specific focus 03:53 on specific emphasis. 03:56 Let me mention as we begin 03:59 the verses where those four cycles are found. 04:02 The first cycle is Revelation 20:1-3. 04:07 The center of focus or the emphasis in these verses 04:11 is upon what will happen with Satan before, 04:16 during, and after the millennium. 04:18 And what will happen with the earth before, during, 04:22 and after the millennium. 04:24 So in other words, 04:25 they takes us full cycle before, 04:28 during and after, 04:29 but the center of emphasis is Satan and the Earth. 04:34 The second passage, cyclical passage 04:38 is Revelation 20:4-10. 04:41 Once again, events at the beginning, 04:43 during and at the end of the millennium 04:45 are described. 04:47 But this time, the center of emphasis 04:48 is not Satan and the Earth, 04:50 the center of emphasis is upon the saints, 04:56 upon the righteous. 04:58 What happens with the righteous at the beginning, 05:00 during and after the millennium? 05:03 The third cycle that we find in the millennial passage 05:07 is in Revelation 20:1, 05:10 through Revelation 21:1. 05:15 Actually, the Revelation 20:11, not 20:1, 05:18 it's a misprint on my computer, 05:19 through Revelation 21:1 05:24 is the third cycle. 05:26 And the emphasis in this cycle 05:29 is upon the judgment of the wicked. 05:32 It also describes events before the millennium, 05:36 during the millennium, and after the millennium, 05:39 but the emphasis is upon 05:41 the judgment of the wicked on Earth. 05:45 The final cycle is Revelation 21:2-8. 05:51 And the center of focus there 05:53 is upon life in the holy city with God. 05:58 What will life be like with God in the holy city, 06:04 the New Jerusalem? 06:06 So those are the four repetitive cycles, 06:10 each with a different emphasis. 06:13 But, when you put them all together, 06:15 they complement one another. 06:18 Now, let's go to our first cycle. 06:21 Revelation 20:1-3. 06:26 It says here in Revelation 20:1, 06:29 that, "A powerful angel descends from heaven 06:33 with the key to the bottomless pit 06:37 and a chain in his hand." 06:41 This happens at the beginning of the millennium. 06:44 And the reason he comes down is 06:47 that he is going to bind Satan 06:53 to this Earth for 1,000 years. 06:57 Now the translation 07:02 of the King James and New King James, 07:05 which is the bottomless pit, 07:09 is not really the best translation. 07:11 It's the Greek word "Abussos." 07:15 The equivalent word in Hebrew is the word "Tehom." 07:20 And we know that in Hebrew, the equivalent word is Tehom. 07:24 Because in the Greek translation 07:26 of the Old Testament, 07:29 in Genesis 1:2, 07:32 the word is translated Abussos. 07:36 The word that is translated deep in Genesis 1:2 07:39 is translated Abussos. 07:41 The same word of Revelation 20:1. 07:45 So, in order to know what the Abussos is, 07:50 what the Abyss is, 07:53 we need to go back to Genesis 1:2. 07:57 What was the condition 07:58 of the Earth before creation week? 08:01 Genesis 1:2 tells us, 08:04 "The Earth was without form, 08:07 and void. 08:10 Void means empty, 08:11 and darkness was on the face of the deep. 08:15 And the Spirit of God was hovering 08:17 over the face of the waters." 08:19 Once again, the Greek translation, 08:21 the word deep, is Abussos, 08:23 the same word that appears in Revelation 20:1-3. 08:27 That's why we know that Tehom and Abussos 08:30 are equivalent in different languages. 08:34 Now, what is it that reduces the Earth to this condition 08:41 without form and void and in darkness? 08:46 There are two things 08:47 that are going to return the Earth to this condition. 08:51 Number 1, the seven plagues of Revelation Chapter 16. 08:58 You see the plagues are going to afflict everything 09:00 that God made at creation. 09:03 The planet will return to darkness, 09:06 because the heavenly bodies 09:08 will be moved out of their places 09:09 by the voice of God according to Matthew 24:30. 09:14 The surface of the earth... 09:16 According to Isaiah 24, will be totally broken up. 09:20 The sun, moon and stars will be moved from their place. 09:24 Jesus said, the powers that rule the heavens 09:27 will be moved from their places in Early Writings, page 41, 09:30 Ellen White states 09:32 that they will be moved out of their places, 09:34 out of their orbits, but they will not disappear. 09:38 The intense heat of the fourth plague 09:41 will destroy all of the vegetation. 09:43 The water of the seas, 09:45 and of the fresh waters will be turned into blood. 09:50 All the fish will die. 09:52 All the birds will die. 09:55 All human beings will die. 09:58 And the earth will return to an empty, 10:02 disorderly and lifeless condition, 10:06 as it was before creation week. 10:08 That is denoted by the word Abussos, 10:13 Tehom in Genesis 1:2. 10:18 Now, let's read 10:19 what the Old Testament prophets tell us 10:23 concerning the condition of the Earth 10:25 at the Second Coming of Christ. 10:28 Jeremiah 4:19-26. 10:32 Jeremiah 4:19-26 10:36 gives us a description of the Second Coming 10:38 and what will happen to the Earth. 10:41 "O my soul, my soul! 10:44 I am pained in my very heart!" 10:47 Jeremiah saying. 10:49 "My heart makes a noise in me," in other words, 10:51 his heart is beating very fast. 10:53 "I cannot hold my peace, 10:55 because you have heard, O my soul, 10:57 the sound of the trumpet..." 11:00 There's a trumpet sound when Jesus comes? 11:02 Yes. 11:04 "...the alarm of war." 11:07 Does Jesus come to make war on the wicked? 11:11 Yes. In Revelation 19. 11:12 It says, "In righteousness, He makes war." 11:16 A battle of Armageddon. 11:19 And so it continues saying in verse 20, 11:21 "Destruction upon destruction is cried, 11:24 for the whole land is plundered. 11:27 Suddenly my tents are plundered, 11:29 and my curtains in a moment. 11:31 How long will I see the standard 11:34 and hear the sound of the trumpet? 11:36 For My people are foolish, they have not known Me. 11:39 They are silly children, and they have no understanding. 11:42 They are wise to do evil, but to do good, 11:45 they have no knowledge." 11:47 And then notice He describes the Earth 11:48 because of the wickedness 11:50 of the inhabitants of the Earth. 11:52 He describes in verse 23, "I beheld the earth, 11:55 and indeed it was without form, and void, and the heavens, 11:59 they had no light." 12:00 Is that the condition of the Earth 12:02 before creation week? 12:03 Yes. 12:05 Verse 24, "I beheld the mountains, 12:07 and indeed they trembled, 12:10 and all the hills moved back and forth. 12:12 I beheld, and indeed there was..." 12:15 what? 12:16 "...there was no man, 12:18 and all the birds of the heavens had fled. 12:22 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land 12:24 was a wilderness, 12:26 and all its cities were broken down 12:28 at the presence of the Lord, by His fierce anger." 12:32 That's what's gonna happen as a result of the plagues 12:35 in the Second Coming. 12:38 And yet, the next verse, 12:39 verse 27 tells us that this is not the end, 12:44 because they're still 1,000 years 12:46 after the Earth returns to this condition. 12:49 It says in Jeremiah 4:27, "For thus says the Lord: 12:52 'The whole land shall be desolate; 12:55 yet I will not make a full end.' 12:59 " Because there are still events to occur 13:02 during the millennium and after the millennium. 13:06 Let's read another passage that describes 13:08 the condition of the Earth 13:10 when Jesus comes and as a result of the plagues. 13:14 Jeremiah 25:30-38. 13:17 Jeremiah 25:30-38, 13:21 "Therefore prophesy against them all these words, 13:23 and say to them: 13:25 'The Lord will roar from on high, 13:29 and utter His voice from His holy habitation; 13:33 He will roar mightily against His fold. 13:37 He will give a shout,'" 13:39 does Jesus give a shout when He comes back? 13:43 He will come with a shout, 13:45 according to First Thessalonians 4. 13:47 So it says, "He will give a shout, 13:50 as those who tread the grapes, 13:52 against all the inhabitants of the earth." 13:54 If you read Revelation 19, it says, 13:56 that the one on the white horse comes to trample the winepress. 14:00 That's the connection here. 14:01 Verse 31. 14:03 Verse 31, it says there, 14:06 "A noise will come to the ends of the earth, 14:08 for the Lord has a controversy with the nations. 14:11 He will plead His case with all flesh. 14:14 He will give those who are wicked to the sword." 14:17 Remember that out of His mouth comes a sharp sword 14:19 in Revelation 19:21? 14:21 There you have all kinds of connections 14:22 with the Second Coming passage. 14:25 Verse 32, "Thus says the Lord of hosts: 14:28 'Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation, 14:31 and a great whirlwind shall be raised up 14:33 from the farthest parts of the earth. 14:36 And at that day, 14:37 the slain of the Lord 14:38 shall be from one end of the earth 14:40 even to the other end of the earth. 14:42 They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; 14:46 they shall become refuse on the ground.' 14:49 " No one to bury those who are destroyed. 14:53 The winepress which represents the wicked. 14:56 Let's read Isaiah 24:1-6. 15:00 Once again, the Second Coming is described here. 15:04 "The land shall be utterly emptied 15:06 and utterly plundered, 15:08 for the Lord has spoken this word. 15:11 The earth mourns and fades away, 15:14 the earth languishes and fades away; 15:17 the haughty people of the earth languish." 15:20 And now notice why this happened. 15:22 "The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, 15:27 because they have transgressed the laws, 15:30 change the ordinance..." 15:32 I have a whole presentation just on changing the ordinance. 15:35 It's the same 15:36 as what the little horn tried to do 15:38 to change the law of God, particularly the Sabbath. 15:42 You can find it on YouTube. 15:44 "The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, 15:47 because they have transgressed the laws, 15:48 changed the ordinance, 15:50 broken the everlasting covenant. 15:53 Therefore the curse has devoured the Earth, 15:55 and those who dwell in it are desolate." 15:58 And now notice. 15:59 "Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, 16:04 and few men are left..." 16:07 Who are the ones who are left? 16:10 Who are the few that are left? 16:12 The righteous, not the wicked, 16:15 because the Second Coming destroys all of the wicked. 16:18 Then it continues saying, "The earth is violently broken, 16:22 the Earth is split open, 16:24 the Earth is shaken exceedingly. 16:26 The Earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, 16:30 and shall totter like a hut; 16:32 its transgression shall be heavy upon it, 16:35 and it will fall, and not rise again." 16:40 What condition will the Earth be in during the millennium? 16:43 It'll be a beautiful paradise 16:45 that everybody will want to live in, right? 16:49 It will be inhospitable, 16:53 uninhabitable, 16:55 without form, and void, and darkness broken up. 16:59 Everything that God made in creation 17:01 will have been destroyed. 17:04 And then what is God going to do? 17:06 Revelation 20:2-3. 17:08 Now we found the condition of the Earth. 17:10 Now we're gonna see what's gonna happen with the devil. 17:13 "He laid hold of the dragon, 17:16 that serpent of old, 17:19 who is the Devil and Satan, 17:21 and bound him for a 1,000 years, 17:24 and cast him into the bottomless pit," 17:26 that is the Abussos, 17:27 the Earth without form, and void, and in darkness. 17:31 "He cast him into the bottomless pit, 17:34 and shut him up, 17:36 and set a seal on him." 17:40 For what purpose? 17:41 Why is he changed? 17:43 What does it mean that he's changed? 17:45 Here comes the explanation. 17:46 "So that..." 17:49 What? 17:51 "...He should deceive the nations no more..." 17:55 So what does that mean that he's bound, 17:56 that he can't, what? 17:58 That he can't deceive the nations. 18:01 Till when? 18:03 "...Till the thousand years were finished. 18:05 But after these things he must be released 18:08 for a little while." 18:13 God will bind Satan on earth that is in pre-creation, chaos, 18:19 emptiness and disorder. 18:21 Human beings could not live here during this period. 18:25 There's no vegetation, fish are dead, 18:27 all of the birds are dead. 18:30 There's darkness, it's uninhabitable. 18:35 The heavenly bodies have been moved out of their places. 18:39 And Satan will be forced to remain on this Earth. 18:43 Change to this Earth, 18:45 he will not be able to deceive the nations anymore. 18:51 Now, what does it mean that he's changed 18:54 and he won't be able deceive the nations anymore? 18:58 Why won't he be able to deceive the nations anymore? 19:02 Well, we still have to take a look at that. 19:05 So the first cycle ends. 19:07 Do we find out 19:08 what the Earth is gonna be like at the beginning, 19:10 during and at the close of the millennium? 19:13 Do we find that in this passage? 19:15 Do we find what's gonna happen with Satan before, 19:18 during and at the end of the millennium? 19:20 Yes. 19:21 What is the central focus in these verses? 19:24 The Earth and Satan. 19:27 But questions remain after you read the first cycle. 19:32 What happened to the righteous during this period? 19:35 There's no mention. 19:37 Were the righteous in heaven or on earth during this period? 19:42 What did the righteous do during the thousand years? 19:46 What does it mean to bind and unbind? 19:50 What happened to the wicked persons 19:52 who died at the Second Coming? 19:55 In what sense was Satan not able to deceive the nations 19:59 after the thousand years? 20:00 And what does it mean 20:02 that he will be released a little while 20:03 after the thousand years? 20:05 Released to do what? 20:09 When the first cycle ends, 20:11 you have a bunch of questions that are not answered. 20:15 So now we go to the second cycle. 20:18 Now we're going to discover some things about the righteous 20:22 at the beginning, 20:23 during and at the conclusion of the millennium. 20:26 See, there's something very important here, folks. 20:30 Studying Daniel, Revelation, 20:32 especially Revelation is very tricky. 20:37 God's not trying to trick us. 20:39 But God has inspired the prophet 20:43 to compose a masterpiece, 20:45 that you must decode not only with symbols, 20:48 you must decode the structure, 20:52 how events are organized, 20:54 what the chronological sequence of those events are. 20:58 I did a series a while ago. 21:01 It's in a syllabus called "The Wise Shall Understand." 21:05 Where I deal with various 21:06 structural matters of Revelation, 21:08 where there are cycles, 21:10 where there are repetitions, etc. 21:12 If you don't grasp that, you will be so messed up, 21:15 you don't know what planet you're on. 21:18 And obviously, I'm speaking, hyperbolically. 21:22 So let's go to the second cycle. 21:26 The second cycle deals with what will happen 21:28 to the saints before, during and after the millennium. 21:31 Revelation 20:4, 21:34 "I saw thrones, and they sat on them, 21:39 and judgment was committed to them." 21:40 Oh, now we discover something interesting. 21:44 What are God's people gonna be doing? 21:47 Judgment was committed to them. 21:51 "Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded 21:54 for their witness to Jesus and for the Word of God, 21:57 who had not worship the beast or his image, 21:59 and had not received his mark 22:01 on their foreheads or on their hands." 22:03 So these are dead people, right? 22:05 They died during the trial of beast, 22:07 his image and his mark, 22:09 and then it says, "And they lived..." 22:12 So are they gonna resurrect? 22:15 Are the righteous going to resurrect? 22:17 Yes. 22:18 "And they lived..." 22:19 And what did they do? 22:21 "...they reigned with Christ for thousand years." 22:24 So what's gonna happen with the righteous 22:26 during the thousand years? 22:28 They're gonna be... 22:31 Judgment is gonna be committed to them, 22:33 and they are going to live and reign with Christ 22:37 for thousand years. 22:39 Now, verse 6 of Revelation 20 22:42 refers to this resurrection of those who were beheaded 22:45 because of their trials over the beast, 22:47 the image and his mark, 22:49 calls this resurrection the first resurrection. 22:53 It says there in Revelation 20:6. 22:56 "Blessed and holy 22:57 is he who has part in the first resurrection." 23:00 So who resurrects in the first resurrection, 23:02 the righteous or the wicked? 23:05 The righteous. 23:06 Do they resurrect before the millennium, 23:08 or during the millennium, or after the millennium? 23:11 They resurrect before... 23:12 Well, they reign with Jesus thousand years, 23:14 so they must have resurrected before. 23:16 And they've given a work of judgment, 23:18 so they must have been resurrected 23:19 before they were committed the judgment. 23:22 So the first resurrection is before the thousand years. 23:25 So it says, "Blessed and holy 23:27 is he who is part of the first resurrection. 23:29 Over such the second death has no power..." 23:32 Over whom does the second death have power? 23:35 Over the wicked. 23:36 And when do they suffer second death? 23:39 After the millennium, we're gonna notice. 23:42 And then it says, "...but they shall be priests of God..." 23:45 that's significant, "...and of Christ, 23:47 and shall reign with Him thousand years." 23:52 Now, let's go to 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17. 23:57 And will notice that at the Second Coming, 23:59 Jesus does not touch the Earth. 24:01 He is going to take His people to heaven, 24:03 which means that they are going to reign, where? 24:07 In heaven. 24:08 And the judgment they are going to perform 24:10 is gonna be performed where? 24:12 In heaven. 24:14 Because the Earth 24:17 is not a place that can be inhabited, 24:19 according to what we noticed. 24:21 Is Jesus gonna take His people to heaven at the Second Coming? 24:25 Yes. 24:26 1st Thessalonians 4:16. 24:28 "For the Lord Himself will descend 24:29 from heaven with a shout, 24:31 with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. 24:34 And the dead in Christ will rise first." 24:36 See, first resurrection, the dead in Christ rise first. 24:41 "Then we who are alive and remain..." 24:44 some people aren't gonna die before Jesus comes, 24:46 "...shall be caught up..." 24:48 See, these doesn't come down. 24:49 "...shall be caught up together with them in the clouds 24:52 to meet the Lord in the air. 24:54 And thus we shall always be with the Lord." 24:58 So does Jesus come down all the way down to the Earth, 25:00 that is Second Coming? 25:02 No. 25:03 His people are caught up. 25:05 Did Jesus promised to take His people 25:07 to His Father's house? 25:09 Where does the Father live? 25:11 We pray Our Father which art everywhere. 25:14 That's not what we pray. 25:16 We pray Our Father which art in heaven. 25:20 God, the Father lives in heaven. 25:21 We already noticed that He's not coming 25:23 at the Second Coming. 25:24 He's gonna welcome us at the gates to the city. 25:28 We studied that. 25:31 And so in John 14:1-3, once again, 25:33 we're told that the righteous will be taken to heaven 25:35 at the Second Coming. 25:37 They're not gonna be living on the Earth, 25:39 they're gonna be in heaven. 25:41 John 14:1-3 says, 25:42 "Let not your heart be troubled; 25:44 you believe in God, believe also in Me. 25:46 In My Father's house are many mansions; 25:48 if it were not so, I would have told you. 25:50 I go to prepare a place for you. 25:53 And if I go..." 25:54 He's going to happen, right? 25:55 "And if I go and prepare a place for you, 25:58 I will come again and receive you to Myself that where I am, 26:02 there you may be also." 26:03 And He said to Peter, where I'm going, 26:05 you can't follow Me now, but you will follow Me later. 26:10 Obviously, the righteous are taken to heaven 26:13 at the Second Coming. 26:14 They're gonna reign in heaven 26:16 and they are going to judge in heaven. 26:17 Is that clear? 26:19 The Bible is clear on that point. 26:22 Notice Revelation 20:4, once again. 26:27 "I saw thrones, and they sat on them..." 26:30 These are judgment thrones, by the way. 26:32 "...and judgment was committed to them. 26:35 Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded 26:38 for the witness to Jesus and for the word of God, 26:40 who had not worshiped the beast or his image, 26:42 and had not received his mark on their foreheads 26:44 or on their hands. 26:45 And they lived and reigned with Christ 26:47 for a thousand years." 26:49 So, now the question is, 26:50 who are the righteous going to judge 26:53 while they are in heaven? 26:55 Obviously, they cannot be judging the righteous 26:58 because the writers have already been judged before 27:00 the Second Coming, 27:01 and Jesus came to get them and they are in heaven. 27:05 They cannot be judging the loyal, faithful angels, 27:09 because the faithful angels don't need any judgment. 27:11 You don't have to examine their lives 27:13 to see if they're worthy to be in heaven. 27:16 So that doesn't leave us very many options. 27:19 The Apostle Paul in 1st Corinthians 6:1-3... 27:23 1st Corinthians 6:1-3 27:26 tells us explicitly whom the righteous 27:30 will judge during the thousand years. 27:33 Apostle Paul here speaking about church members 27:35 suing church members, which should never happen, 27:40 but it happens, unfortunately. 27:42 1st Corinthians 6:1 says, "Dare any of you, 27:47 having a matter against another, 27:49 go to law before the unrighteous, 27:51 and not before the saints?" 27:54 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? 27:58 Excuse me. 28:00 This... 28:01 I thought God was gonna judge the world. 28:03 The saints will judge the world. 28:07 The word World here refers 28:08 to the wicked inhabitants of the world. 28:12 We say we're not supposed to be worldly. 28:16 That means that we're not supposed to have the lifestyle 28:19 and we're not supposed to live as world things live. 28:22 So when it says though, 28:23 the saints will judge the world, 28:25 it speaking about the wicked people in the world, 28:27 but not only will God's people judge the world, 28:30 the wicked who have remained on earth, dead. 28:34 They continue saying, 28:35 "Do you not know that the saints 28:37 will judge the world? 28:38 And if the world will be judged by you, 28:40 are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?" 28:43 In other words, 28:44 if you can't settle your little differences here, 28:46 how do you think you're gonna judge the world? 28:49 Verse 3, "Do you not know that we shall judge angels? 28:54 How much more, things that pertain to this life?" 28:58 Wow! 29:00 God's saints are gonna judge, what? 29:02 Angels. 29:04 Which angels? 29:06 The good angels? 29:08 It has to be the wicked angels. 29:11 So Revelation 20 says 29:13 that judgment is committed to God's people. 29:15 The Apostle Paul explains, who's gonna be judged, 29:19 the wicked and angels who have been left behind. 29:25 Now known as in Revelation 20:6. 29:28 It says, "Blessed and holy 29:31 is he who has a part in the first resurrection. 29:33 Over such the second death has no power, 29:36 but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, 29:38 and shall reign with Him for a thousand years. 29:43 Now, if you read verse 4, 29:49 through verse 6, 29:51 you're gonna find a problem. 29:54 You're gonna find that you give the impression 29:58 that it's the wicked 30:00 who resurrect in the first resurrection. 30:05 You read that passage, 30:07 it appears to say that the wicked 30:09 are the ones that are raised in the first resurrection. 30:12 But we already noticed in verse 4, 30:14 that it's the righteous that are raised 30:15 in the first resurrection. 30:17 And we've noticed in verse 6 that it's the righteous 30:20 who resurrected the first resurrection. 30:23 So what do you do 30:24 with the little parenthetical remark that says, 30:29 but the rest of the dead did not leave again 30:33 until the thousand years were finished. 30:35 Who are the rest of the dead that do not live again 30:39 until the thousand years are finished? 30:42 It has to be the wicked. 30:45 The reason I already gave you. 30:48 Incidentally, that expression, 30:50 but the rest of the dead did not live again 30:51 until the thousand years were finished, 30:53 that needs to be put in parentheses. 30:56 It breaks the flow of thought. 30:59 And when you understand that, it's an explanatory note, 31:02 you don't read it consecutively 31:03 with what comes in those verses. 31:05 Immediately, you understand that John is saying, 31:08 "Well, let me tell you something about 31:09 what's gonna happen with the rest of the dead 31:11 who don't resurrect in the first resurrection." 31:15 We have a punctuation problem. 31:17 You say, "Well, Pastor, 31:18 you're changing the punctuation of the Bible." 31:21 Well, punctuation, 31:22 there is no punctuation in the originals. 31:25 So the translators put punctuation 31:26 where they feel that it's needed. 31:28 And by the way, the New International Version 31:31 places parentheses 31:32 around the rest of dead did not live again 31:34 until the thousand years were finished. 31:36 They recognized that there is a parenthetical statement. 31:40 Now let's understand what second death is. 31:43 Very simple. 31:45 Everyone in this world has lived once, right? 31:52 If before Jesus comes, we die, 31:56 that will be our first death. 32:00 When Jesus comes, 32:01 if we receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, 32:04 we will resurrect in the first resurrection, 32:08 and we will not suffer second death. 32:11 In other words, once we resurrect, 32:13 we will live forever not so with the wicked. 32:18 The wicked also live their life, 32:20 here, in first line, so to speak. 32:23 Before the Second Coming, they die, 32:25 or at the Second Coming, they die. 32:27 After the millennium, they resurrect, 32:33 and then they're judged and after their judgment, 32:38 they suffer second death. 32:40 So it's the wicked who suffers second death. 32:43 It's not the righteous who suffer second death. 32:46 Are you following me or not? 32:49 Now, let's go to Revelation 27:8. 32:53 At the end of the millennium, Satan is going to be what? 32:57 Oh, he's gonna be released. 32:59 Let's read the verses and then we'll see what that means. 33:03 "Now when the thousand years have expired, 33:06 Satan will be released from his prison." 33:11 And what will he be able to do 33:12 now that he's been released from his prison? 33:15 "And will go out to deceive the nations 33:18 which are in the four corners of the earth, 33:20 Gog and Magog, 33:21 to gather them together to battle, 33:24 whose number is as the sand of the sea." 33:29 So when he's released, what is he able to do? 33:33 To deceive the nations. 33:37 So the question is, 33:38 what does the binding of Satan mean? 33:41 It means that he can't deceive the nations. 33:44 Why can't he deceive the nations? 33:47 Because all of the wicked power base of his has died. 33:51 He has no power base. 33:53 All of the nations are dead. 33:56 But after the thousand years, 33:58 the rest of the dead raise after the thousand years, 34:01 and now Satan has nations back, 34:04 and he can deceive them once more. 34:07 So the binding and unbinding of Satan has to do 34:10 with whether the nations are alive or dead. 34:14 When his followers are alive, he's loose. 34:18 When his followers are dead, he's bound, 34:21 because he doesn't have anybody to do his bidding. 34:26 So the condition of the wicked, dead or alive 34:30 determines whether the devil is bound or loose. 34:35 Now let's go to Revelation 20:9-10. 34:39 "They went up on the breadth of the earth 34:41 and surrounded the camp of the saints." 34:42 You say, "Well, this passage talks about the devil too." 34:45 But who is the center of focus here? 34:47 The devil now is gonna surround the camp of the saints. 34:50 So who is still the center of focus here? 34:53 It's the saints. 34:54 Satan is going to try and attack the city 34:56 where the saints are. 34:58 "They went up on the breath of the Earth 35:00 and surrounded the camp of the saints 35:03 and the beloved city..." 35:06 with an intention of attack in the city. 35:09 "...and fire came down 35:10 from God all of heaven and devoured them. 35:13 The devil will deceive them, 35:15 was cast into the lake of fire 35:16 and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are..." 35:19 That is probably better translations 35:21 where the beast and the false prophet were cast 35:24 before the millennium, 35:26 "...and they will be tormented day and night forever." 35:30 So after the thousand years, Satan will rally the wicked. 35:35 They've all resurrected. 35:37 He's loose now. 35:38 He has his power base back. 35:41 He organizes them to battle 35:43 against the Holy City. 35:48 But he's not able to prevail. 35:50 If you read Ezekiel 28, 35:52 it says that the wicked instead of following his orders 35:54 and attacking the city, 35:56 when they see that God is right 35:58 and Satan has been the deceiver, 36:01 they will turn on Satan and his angels 36:03 with the intention of destroying them. 36:07 So, here, you have the second cycle. 36:10 Who is the center of focus in the second cycle? 36:13 The righteous. 36:15 They resurrect in the first resurrection. 36:18 They reign with Christ for thousand years. 36:20 They perform a work of judgment, 36:23 there in the city that Satan wants to attack. 36:27 So the center of focus 36:28 in the second cycle is the saints. 36:33 Now we need to go to the third cycle. 36:36 The center of the third cycle is the wicked. 36:41 We don't find anything other than, say, 36:42 the rest of the dead will not live in, again, 36:44 until thousand years are finished, 36:46 we need to know more about the wicked. 36:50 And this cycle is found 36:52 in Revelation 20:11 though 21:1. 36:56 The third cycle, the central focus once again, 36:59 is upon the wicked. 37:02 So after the thousand years 37:04 that rest of the dead live again. 37:07 Satan has his power base back again. 37:11 But there's an event that takes place... 37:15 There's an event that takes place 37:17 in Revelation 20:11, 37:20 that takes us back to before the millennium, 37:23 because we're gonna begin a new cycle. 37:26 Have you noticed that you have in the first cycle, 37:28 it starts with the beginning of the millennium 37:29 takes you to the end. 37:31 The second cycle begins at the end of the... 37:33 beginning of Millennium takes you to the end. 37:35 Well, the same happens 37:36 with this cycle about the wicked. 37:38 It takes you to the beginning of the millennium, 37:40 an event at the beginning of the millennium, 37:42 once again to the end of the millennium. 37:43 And you say, what is the event 37:45 at the beginning of the millennium 37:46 in this third cycle? 37:48 Revelation 20:11, 37:51 "Then I saw a great white throne 37:55 and Him who sat on it, 37:58 from whose face the heaven and the earth fled away 38:00 and there was found, no place for them." 38:05 That is a description of the Second Coming of Christ. 38:09 The white throne, and heaven and earth flee away, 38:13 and no place is found for the heaven and the earth. 38:15 You say, "How do you say that that refers 38:16 to the Second Coming? 38:18 Doesn't Jesus come back on a horse? 38:20 So, how is He sitting on the throne 38:22 of the Second Coming?" 38:24 We need to understand folks that when the Bible says 38:26 that Jesus is gonna sit on a throne, 38:29 or He's coming on a horse, 38:31 those are symbols that represent functions of Christ. 38:36 The fact that He's sitting on a throne 38:38 means that He's coming back 38:39 as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 38:42 The fact that He's coming back on a horse, 38:44 a conquering horse, 38:45 is because He's a warrior 38:46 that's gonna defeat the enemies of God's people. 38:51 So in other words, the symbols 38:53 describe the function of Jesus. 38:56 By the way, do you know that another passage 38:58 describes Jesus as sitting on the thrown 39:00 at His Second Coming? 39:02 Revelation 6:14-17. 39:05 Revelation 6:14-17, 39:08 "Then the sky receded as a scroll 39:10 when it is rolled up, 39:11 and every mountain and island was moved on its place." 39:15 Does that sound similar to what we just read? 39:18 "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, 39:20 the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, 39:23 every slave and every free man, 39:24 hid themselves in the caves 39:26 and in the rocks of the mountains, 39:27 and said to the mountains and rocks, 39:29 'Fall on us and hide us 39:31 from the face of Him...'" who what? 39:34 "...who sits on the throne..." 39:39 Everyone agrees that this is the Second Coming. 39:42 And Jesus is sitting, what? On the throne. 39:44 Because it says, 39:47 "...Hide us from the face of Him 39:49 who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 39:54 For the great day of His wrath has come, 39:56 and who is able to stand?" 40:01 So Revelation 20:11, 40:03 is describing the Second Coming of Christ 40:06 at the beginning of the millennium. 40:08 Revelation 20:12, the very next verse 40:11 is describing the judgment of a wicked death in heaven 40:14 during the thousand years. 40:18 Are you following or not? 40:22 Verse 11, sitting on the throne, 40:24 Second Coming, great day of His wrath. 40:27 Verse 12, now the dead are going to stand before His, 40:30 look before His throne. 40:32 How can dead people stand before the throne of God? 40:36 They're standing there through their records. 40:39 Are God's people going to examine 40:40 the records of the wicked during the thousand years? 40:43 Now we're gonna find a description here 40:45 of how the judgment during the thousand years 40:47 was done by the righteous. 40:50 It says in verse 12, 40:53 "And I saw the dead small and great." 40:55 Doesn't say here are the resurrected, 40:57 that the dead are standing there. 40:59 "I saw the dead small and great standing before God, 41:03 and books were opened, 41:05 and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. 41:08 And the dead," 41:09 doesn't say that they resurrected, 41:11 it says "the dead, were judged 41:13 according to their works by the things 41:16 which were written in the books." 41:19 Those are the ones 41:21 that the righteous are gonna judge, 41:22 judgment is committed to them. 41:24 This is an additional description 41:26 of the judgment of the wicked. 41:28 You see, that the Second Cycle 41:30 doesn't tell us who the righteous judged. 41:33 It simply says judgment was committed to them, 41:35 here, now we know that they're judging the wicked, 41:38 who are dead, 41:40 but they're coming through their records to be judged. 41:43 Are you with me? 41:45 Verse 13, describes the resurrection of the wicked 41:50 after the millennium. 41:53 Verse 13, says, 41:55 "The sea gave up a dead who are in it," 42:00 the dead who were examined, 42:02 who went stood before the throne of God, 42:03 they were dead. 42:05 But now it says, 42:06 "The sea gave up the dead who were in it, 42:09 and Death and Hades." 42:10 Hades means the grave. 42:12 "Death and Hades delivered up the dead 42:14 who were in them." 42:17 And now the wicked are gonna see 42:19 their judgment after the millennium. 42:21 After the sea gives up the dead, 42:23 after death and the grave give up their dead. 42:27 It says, "They were judged each one 42:29 according to his works." 42:31 There will be a judgment of the weekend 42:32 after thousand years while they are alive, 42:34 they will see the record of their lives. 42:37 Read Great Controversy, the last chapter. 42:39 Ellen White explains this in a simple, 42:42 easy to understand way. 42:45 By the way, you're probably wondering about this, 42:47 the sea giving up the dead 42:49 and Death and Hades delivering up the dead. 42:52 A parallel verse would be Isaiah 26:19, 42:56 Isaiah 26:19. 42:58 It says, "Your dead shall live, 43:02 Together with my dead body they shall arise. 43:05 Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust," 43:10 that's the dead. 43:11 "For your dew is like the dew of herbs, 43:14 And the earth shall," what? 43:16 "Shall cast out the dead." 43:21 Does that sound similar 43:22 to what we read in Revelation 20:13? 43:27 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, 43:30 and death and the grave 43:33 gave up the dead that were in them? 43:34 That's the resurrection of the wicked 43:36 after the thousand years. 43:41 And then notice verses 20, chapter 20:14-15. 43:46 So I don't know if you're understanding 43:47 what we're saying. 43:49 But this third cycle begins with the Second Coming, 43:53 the one sitting on the throne. 43:55 Then the dead stand before God, 43:58 the righteous are judging the dead 44:00 during thousand years. 44:02 After that the sea gives up the dead. 44:04 Death and the grave gives up the dead. 44:06 That's the resurrection of the wicked 44:07 after the thousand years. 44:11 And when the wicked surround the city 44:13 and they're destroyed with a fire, 44:15 Revelation 20:14-15. 44:19 "Then Death and Hades," there is a grave, 44:22 "were cast into the lake of fire. 44:25 This is the second death. 44:29 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life 44:32 was cast into the lake of fire." 44:35 Does this reach the same climax 44:37 that the...that cycle number two reached? 44:40 Did cycle number two say that the devil and his angels 44:43 and the wicked would be casted into the lake of fire 44:45 when they surrounded the city? 44:47 Yes. 44:48 So there's gonna be two lakes of fire. 44:51 No, this is a repetition of the first leg, 44:56 adding details centering 44:58 on what's gonna happen with the wicked. 45:01 Are you with me? 45:04 Some of you are glassy eyed. 45:09 Now, something I need to explain. 45:14 Sometimes in the Bible, 45:16 the chapter divisions are where they should not be. 45:22 You see, the original writers did not divide the Bible 45:25 into chapters and verses. 45:27 And in some places in Revelation, 45:29 the chapter is divided in the wrong place. 45:34 belongs with chapter 20. 45:40 And you say, Pastor Bohr, you're changing the Bible. 45:42 No, I'm not. 45:43 Chapters and verses were not put there 45:45 by the original writers. 45:47 And I'm gonna prove to you now, 45:49 that Revelation 21:1 45:51 is the climax to the third cycle. 45:57 What does Revelation 21:1 say? 45:59 After the wicked are cast into the lake of fire, 46:05 and Death and Hades are cast into the lake of fire, 46:08 and those who are not found in the Book of Life 46:11 are cast into the lake of fire. 46:12 Then in verse 1 it says, 46:15 "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, 46:20 for the first heaven and the first earth 46:22 had passed away. 46:23 Also there was no more sea." 46:26 Is that the climax to chapter 20? 46:28 After the wicked are destroyed, 46:30 God is gonna make a new heavens and a new earth, yes or no? 46:32 Absolutely. 46:34 So verse 1 belongs with chapter 20. 46:36 Now if I had time, I would show you 46:38 other places in Revelation 46:39 where the chapter division is in the wrong place. 46:43 There are several places 46:45 and the reason is because the people, 46:48 the people who made the chapter divisions, 46:50 they didn't have the Spirit of Prophecy, 46:53 which gives us a clue 46:55 as to where we need to divide the chapters. 46:59 They didn't have all the light. 47:00 They did the best they could. 47:04 Now 2nd Peter 3:10-13 47:08 describes the destruction of the wicked. 47:11 It says, "But the day of the Lord 47:12 will come as a thief in the night, 47:14 in which the heavens will pass away 47:16 with great noise, 47:17 and the elements will melt with fervent heat, 47:20 both the Earth and the works that are in it 47:22 will be burned up. 47:24 Therefore, since all these things 47:25 will be dissolved, 47:27 what manner of persons ought you to be 47:29 in holy conduct and godliness, 47:32 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, 47:35 because of which the heavens will be dissolved, 47:38 being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 47:43 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, 47:47 look for new heavens and a new Earth 47:50 in which righteousness dwells." 47:55 That's a third cycle. 47:58 But we wanna know what is gonna be like 48:00 to live in the city in the presence of God. 48:04 So we have a fourth cycle that tells us 48:07 what life is gonna be like in the north, 48:10 and what life is going to be like 48:12 in the city living with God. 48:15 You see, when we finish the second, 48:18 the last, the third cycle, we asked the question, 48:22 why did God allow the righteous 48:23 to come into the city and not the wicked? 48:27 What is it that the books contain 48:29 that condemned the wicked? 48:33 What will life be like in the holy city? 48:36 What will God be like? 48:39 We come to the last millennial cycle number four, 48:41 Revelation 21:2-8, 48:45 it begins in verse 2 48:48 with the descent of the Holy City. 48:50 This is...this is the clear reason 48:52 why we know that verse 1 belongs with chapter 20. 48:54 Let me ask you, 48:56 when the wicked surround the holy city, 48:58 is a city on the Earth 49:00 when the wickets surround the city? 49:04 Let me ask you, is the city on Earth 49:06 when the wickets surround it? 49:08 Yes. 49:10 If you read verse 2. 49:12 As coming after verse 1, you've got a serious problem. 49:15 Because verse 1 says, 49:17 "God makes the new heavens in the north," 49:18 and then it says that the city descends. 49:22 Are you with me? 49:24 But when you realize that verse 1 49:25 is the climax to the chapter 20 49:28 and verse 2 begins the fourth cycle, 49:30 it makes all the sense. 49:32 So it says, 49:33 "That John sees the holy city, New Jerusalem, 49:37 coming down out of heaven from God, 49:41 prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." 49:46 And then we find a description of what it's gonna be like, 49:49 verses 3 and 4. 49:52 And I heard a loud voice. 49:53 And notice here, by the way, 49:54 notice that all the verbs are future. 49:58 At this point, that city has descended, 50:01 but the wicked has not been destroyed yet, 50:03 because it's the beginning another cycle. 50:04 I don't know if your understanding 50:06 what I'm saying. 50:07 In the fourth cycle, 50:09 the wicked have not been destroyed yet. 50:12 You're gonna see that clearly. 50:14 "I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 50:17 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, 50:21 and He will dwell with them, 50:24 and they shall be His people. 50:27 God himself will be with them and be their God. 50:31 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, 50:35 and there shall be no more death." 50:39 Are all these things real at the moment 50:40 when this is taking place? 50:42 No, its future. 50:46 "And there shall be no more death, 50:48 nor sorrow, nor crying. 50:49 There shall be no more pain, no more pain, 50:53 for the former things that passed away." 50:57 So this is describing the moment 50:58 when God's people are in the Holy City. 51:02 And God is promising them 51:05 that when the wicked are destroyed, 51:07 none of these things are going to exist. 51:10 Are you with me? 51:12 You're gonna see it in a minute. 51:14 Notice verse 6. 51:16 "And He said to me, "It is done! 51:20 I am Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." 51:24 Now comes what God is going to do. 51:26 "I will give of the fountain 51:28 of water of life freely to him who thirsts." 51:35 Better than Evian water, which is so expensive. 51:40 This is true sweet water, 51:43 that God is gonna give His people. 51:45 Revelation 21:7, "He who overcomes..." 51:49 Oh, now we know 51:51 why the righteous are in the city. 51:52 Why are the righteous in the city? 51:55 Oh, they overcame. 51:58 "He who overcomes shall," what? 52:01 "inherit all things," the earth with everything in it. 52:05 So it says, "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, 52:09 I will be his God and He shall be My son." 52:14 Do you notice that it's still future? 52:17 Because the wicked had not been destroyed yet. 52:20 But when we come to verse 8, 52:22 you have the final step in the cycle, 52:26 the destruction of the wicked again, 52:28 in the lake of fire. 52:29 Are there three lakes of fire? 52:32 No, it's the same lake of fire. 52:35 But it's another cycle. 52:37 It's says in Revelation 21:8. 52:41 Those who are outside, the one, 52:43 once inside are over comers. 52:47 "But the cowardly," 52:51 now we know it was written in the books 52:53 that were examined during the thousand years. 52:55 Now we have some of the works that were written there. 52:58 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, 53:02 sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars 53:07 shall have their part in the lake 53:09 which burns with fire and brimstone, 53:11 which is the second death." 53:12 Once again, the verbs are future. 53:14 God's people are in the city, 53:16 and God is making this promise to them, 53:19 they're over comer's and he says, 53:21 "I'm gonna wipe your tears away, 53:23 there's not gonna be any more death, 53:25 and the wicked will be destroyed." 53:29 In other words, 53:31 Revelation 21:8, 53:33 brings us back to the point 53:38 where the cycle ends for the fourth time. 53:43 Now, Revelation 22:14-15 53:45 is not part of the millennial passage 53:49 but it tells us who's inside and who's outside. 53:54 "Blessed are those who do His commandments 53:57 that they may have the right to the tree of life 53:59 and may enter through the gates into the city." 54:04 So those in, 54:05 those who enter through the gates 54:07 are commandment keepers. 54:09 What about those outside? 54:11 "But outside are dogs and sorcerers 54:16 and sexually immoral 54:18 and murderers, and idolaters 54:23 and whoever loves and practices a," what? 54:27 "Practices a lie." 54:31 Now why is this topic important 54:33 as we deal with the issue of futurism? 54:39 The Bible tells us and we're gonna study this 54:41 in our next two lectures. 54:42 The title of the next two lectures 54:44 is A Judas in the Church, 54:48 part one and part two. 54:51 We are going to find 54:53 that those who believe in futurism teach 54:58 that Jesus is going to reign on this earth 55:01 for thousand years with the saints, 55:06 they come back after seven years 55:08 of being in heaven, after the rapture. 55:11 So they're gonna come back with Jesus 55:13 and they're gonna live here for a thousand years, 55:15 and Jesus is gonna rule with a rod of iron. 55:17 And he's gonna, you know, 55:19 He's gonna heal the diseases of people and everything. 55:21 Let me ask you, if you believe 55:25 that Jesus is gonna come to this earth 55:27 at His glorious coming, 55:29 to walk upon the Earth during the millennium, 55:32 could you be deceived by the, 55:35 by the counterfeit Second Coming of Jesus? 55:39 Are you following me? 55:43 You see, if you believe that Jesus 55:45 and His glorious coming, 55:46 is gonna establish Himself here. 55:48 Ellen White says that the devil's gonna come, 55:50 He's gonna heal the diseases of the people, 55:52 He's gonna speak real beautiful, 55:54 pretty things, and He's gonna... 55:56 You know, He's going to bless the people, 55:58 raise His hands and everything. 55:59 Those who are expecting Jesus to come, 56:01 to be here will be deceived 56:04 by the counterfeit of Second Coming. 56:06 That's why you need to know 56:10 where God's people will be during the thousand years. 56:14 Less people accept the counterfeit Second Coming 56:17 and be among the lost. 56:20 Are all these things important? 56:23 Folks, these are things 56:25 that are hardly ever even touched anymore in the church. 56:28 And we are living in those times. 56:31 The world needs to know. 56:33 Ellen White says 56:34 that those who don't know who the beast is, 56:37 will end up worshipping the beast. 56:41 Those who don't know what the mark of the beast is, 56:44 will eventually receive the mark of the beast. 56:48 And we live in a time 56:49 when people say, "Well, you know, 56:50 you don't wanna traumatize people. 56:53 You wanna be nice, 56:55 and we're gonna nice them right into hell." 57:01 They need to know. 57:03 And the Everest Church is the only church in the world 57:06 that has it straight. 57:09 And we shouldn't get proud about that 57:11 because great knowledge requires great responsibility 57:16 of letting people know. 57:19 What a message we have, 57:21 that the world needs right now. 57:24 You need to go back to your churches 57:27 and light a fire under your pastors 57:30 and say, you know, we need present truth. 57:33 We need the Three Angels' Message. 57:36 We need to know what's happening in the world, 57:37 how we can prepare for the coming of the Lord. 57:41 None of this evangelical soft talk, 57:44 you know, Jesus loves me this, 57:45 I know, where the Bible tells me so. 57:47 Yeah, that's okay for kindergarten, 57:51 for little kids. 57:53 We know Jesus loves us. 57:56 But He tells us what's gonna happen 57:57 because He loves us, 58:00 so that we choose to be on the right side 58:03 in the final controversy. |
