1
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:35,340
That's right. Yeah. Great. Great way to start off the year, focusing on continuing a study of the

2
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,660
scripture, especially the book of Revelation with everything going on in the world. We definitely

3
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,920
want to keep going with that and get this one, really get our heads wrapped around some of this

4
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,019
stuff because it's important to know and it's important as Christians to know this. So glad

Doing awesome.

12
00:02:17,780 --> 00:02:22,420
I know we were talking in Sunday school yesterday that a couple of guys were like, man, this

13
00:02:22,420 --> 00:02:23,680
is the end of my two-week vacation.

14
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:25,520
I got to go back to work tomorrow.

15
00:02:26,540 --> 00:02:28,260
I didn't experience that this year.

16
00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:28,480
Yeah.

17
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:29,940
That must have been really nice.

18
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:31,160
Another day, baby.

19
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:31,900
I didn't need to.

20
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:32,920
I didn't get two weeks.

21
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,240
It's got like two days for Christmas and one day for New Year's.

22
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,200
Well, I was fortunate enough that I actually managed to take off the week of Christmas.

23
00:02:42,340 --> 00:02:43,260
So I had that off.

24
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:49,400
And then I did have to go back New Year's, but, you know, because everybody else was gone, it was like a vacation.

25
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,680
I got to get a whole bunch of work done because there was nobody there to bother me.

26
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,720
And it's amazing how much get done.

27
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:55,000
Yeah.

28
00:02:56,340 --> 00:02:56,920
So that was nice.

29
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,860
It was like a vacation, but I got work done.

30
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,480
I see it.

31
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,220
Hey, that's how I like to do it.

32
00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:06,100
Get, you know, be able to go in and just wrap up at the end of the year.

33
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,100
So I almost never take that last week off because everybody else does.

34
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,080
And I'm like, I can come in and get a bunch of stuff done.

35
00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:13,480
And nobody bothers me.

36
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,240
There's no meetings.

37
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,100
There's no, I'm not getting calls.

38
00:03:16,380 --> 00:03:17,240
I can just knock it out.

39
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:19,840
And then I'm ready to start the new year.

40
00:03:20,020 --> 00:03:20,220
Yeah.

41
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
And it was really nice to be able to do that this year.

42
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:28,880
Man, it was exciting Christmas for us.

43
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:32,440
Just getting to wind down.

44
00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:39,440
We had a wonderful, I hope everybody got to watch the Christmas episode with the choir and the songs.

45
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:42,220
And man, we had the songs this year.

46
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,520
Yeah, man.

47
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,080
They told a story.

48
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:55,060
They gave a message and they absolutely made it very clear that we were there to worship the name of Jesus Christ and worship our God.

49
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:05,880
And yeah, I always say every year at Christmas, we start out at Christmas where he comes as that gift that's given to us and we move on and we're just on the way to the cross.

50
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,820
I mean, at the end of the day, you start at the manger, but it ends at that cross.

51
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Because after that's where all of our hope is, is on that cross and on in the fact that there's an empty grave on the other side of the cross.

52
00:04:16,540 --> 00:04:16,840
Yeah.

53
00:04:17,019 --> 00:04:21,299
You know, it's actually pretty good timing, too, that we're going through Revelation because that whole season is called Advent.

54
00:04:21,799 --> 00:04:21,920
Yeah.

55
00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:22,320
Yes.

56
00:04:22,380 --> 00:04:23,320
Not just the first coming.

57
00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:23,940
That's right.

58
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,240
Right.

59
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:24,680
That's right.

60
00:04:25,139 --> 00:04:25,460
Amen.

61
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Yes.

62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:26,920
Yes.

63
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:27,520
Absolutely.

64
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,200
All right.

65
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:31,560
There we go.

66
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:34,400
Make sure I get where I can control some stuff over here.

67
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,880
I guess we are ready to dive in

68
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:39,440
so we're starting with Revelation 5-9

69
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,340
which was

70
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:43,020
somewhat ironic because we ended on

71
00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:44,800
4-9 a few weeks ago

72
00:04:45,979 --> 00:04:47,300
and that's what we started

73
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:48,660
with and then now here we are

74
00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:50,260
starting on 5-9

75
00:04:52,139 --> 00:04:53,360
and we get to

76
00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:55,420
talk about the new song that they sing

77
00:04:55,940 --> 00:04:56,380
so

78
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,240
I'll let one of you guys go in and read that

79
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:00,240
yeah

80
00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:02,440
you do it or me too? I'll do it

81
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,420
and they sing a new song

82
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,260
saying, Worthy are you to take the book and to break its seals,

83
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,960
for you were slain and purchased for God with your blood men from every tribe

84
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,680
and tongue and people and nation.

85
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:18,280
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God,

86
00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:20,220
and they will reign upon the earth.

87
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:21,120
Amen.

88
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:21,820
Amen.

89
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:28,860
The back story, I guess, to that is that the lamb has taken the book,

90
00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:30,920
and there's a lot of worship going on.

91
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:31,360
Oh, yeah.

92
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,040
Yeah, it's breaking loose in heaven.

93
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:33,900
Yeah, yeah.

94
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:46,760
We see probably, well, the beasts that are there, the elders that are there, which represents the church, and then the angels, we'll see in just a minute, they'll join in, too, in the praise, right?

95
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,500
I mean, but this thing's going on.

96
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:51,280
We're going to sing praises under the lamp.

97
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:55,120
Yeah, and something my wife's been getting irritated with me at.

98
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,960
You know, I go to assisted living homes and play music, and I usually end up playing Heaven's Jubilee.

99
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:02,420
Yeah.

100
00:06:02,660 --> 00:06:06,340
It's kind of about that, you know, about the worship that's going to go on one day in heaven.

101
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,820
And I'll tell everybody, man, it's going to get loud in heaven.

102
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,560
Don't say that.

103
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:13,000
Well, it is.

104
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,240
There's millions around the throne.

105
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:15,020
That's right.

106
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,960
Sounds like thunder.

107
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:18,080
Can you imagine the choir?

108
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,700
I mean, it's going to be there'll be no speakers needed.

109
00:06:21,970 --> 00:06:26,080
I mean, just the sound of it will rumble through heaven.

110
00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:27,940
I mean, it's going to be wonderful.

111
00:06:28,220 --> 00:06:29,580
You know, we use that phrase, there's millions.

112
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:30,300
Let's be honest.

113
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,000
It's more like billions.

114
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:32,420
Oh, yeah.

115
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,040
Yeah, yeah.

116
00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:39,980
I mean, it's going to be, I mean, it's every saved person up until that point in time ever.

117
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:42,880
Not to mention, and we got the Old Testament saints there.

118
00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:44,860
And those guys knew how to make noise.

119
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Yeah.

120
00:06:45,670 --> 00:06:50,680
I mean, the children of Israel, when they were leaving Egypt, they knew how to make noise when they were singing those psalms.

121
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,560
And they were praising God and they were thanking him.

122
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,180
And I mean, it was there.

123
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:58,360
And those hymns were rolling off and it continued on with David and with his own piece.

124
00:06:58,380 --> 00:06:59,720
David would keep his clothes on, right?

125
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:03,440
He gets way too excited about it.

126
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,740
And I mean, you know, that's what's going to be there with us.

127
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,820
And we have a reason to rejoice here because, I mean, you know, right before this, we have John standing there going, well, there's nobody can open this book.

128
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:15,760
Who's going to open it?

129
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,520
How's this going to get open?

130
00:07:16,530 --> 00:07:19,080
And then here the lamb comes and we're like, right there's how it's going to open, buddy.

131
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:19,980
Yeah.

132
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,960
And the thing is, we're never going to stop.

133
00:07:22,990 --> 00:07:24,720
I mean, this is just the beginning of it.

134
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,940
It's not this song and this praise is not going to stop throughout all eternity.

135
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:39,400
I mean, it's a song that's going to be sung of the great redemption that he has given us for all who have ever accepted him.

136
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,340
It's a song about him.

137
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960
He alone is worthy of our praise.

138
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:48,100
And here's the other thing, too.

139
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:52,040
We sing about the blood here, and we're going to sing about the blood there.

140
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:52,320
Yeah.

141
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,100
Forever.

142
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:53,880
Forever.

143
00:07:54,270 --> 00:07:56,640
For the lamb that was slain.

144
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,880
And then we will reign with Jesus.

145
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:08,300
It talks about in verse 10 there that he made us our God kings and priests,

146
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:09,880
and we shall reign on earth.

147
00:08:10,220 --> 00:08:13,700
We'll get to reign with him, especially during the thousand-year millennial reign.

148
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,560
And, of course, that's something we'll get into later,

149
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:23,120
but I believe that is a literal thousand-year millennial reign that we will set foot,

150
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,120
that we'll come back with him, and he'll set foot here on this earth,

151
00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:29,560
and he'll make every right wrong, and he'll destroy evil.

152
00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:32,080
and we're going to live in rain with him for a thousand years there.

153
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,800
And it describes it like that, too, that it's going to be perfect peace.

154
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:36,740
I don't remember where it is in the Old Testament.

155
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:41,500
It talks about, is it Isaiah maybe, where it talks about a child reaching down a snake's hole

156
00:08:41,780 --> 00:08:43,820
and a lion laying with a lamb, all that kind of stuff.

157
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,060
That's the description of the thousand-year rain.

158
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:51,240
And how can you misinterpret that to say, well, we're in that right now.

159
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,060
There's some wild stuff.

160
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:54,600
It is.

161
00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:56,420
It is absolutely crazy stuff.

162
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:56,940
Yeah.

163
00:08:57,340 --> 00:09:00,640
Yeah, what I love about this song, and I just thought about this the other day,

164
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,740
it's like we've got this throng of people,

165
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:06,900
huge amounts of people and angels and all these different things,

166
00:09:07,860 --> 00:09:11,740
and they're all just suddenly in unity and know all the words to the song.

167
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:12,220
Yeah.

168
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Together at the same time.

169
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Right.

170
00:09:14,180 --> 00:09:14,960
You don't need a book.

171
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:15,980
You don't need it on a screen.

172
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,120
They didn't pass out hymnals.

173
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:17,640
No.

174
00:09:17,780 --> 00:09:18,020
No.

175
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,080
Yeah, because this is a song that's inside of us, right?

176
00:09:22,220 --> 00:09:22,940
It's coming out.

177
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Yeah.

178
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:23,620
Yeah.

179
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,320
What a wonder.

180
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:27,780
The unity that we're going to have there, all in Christ.

181
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Yeah, yeah.

182
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,960
And we'll get into it.

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:38,860
I don't want to get too far away, but I mean, the angels, they're going to be joining in this praise, but they're really not going to be able to understand exactly what we have.

184
00:09:39,150 --> 00:09:39,700
Yeah, yeah.

185
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,320
That's a gospel song right there.

186
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:41,880
Yeah, yeah.

187
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:50,860
And what I was going to say is, you know, that is part of being in that eternal body, that everlasting body that we're getting because everything gets upgraded.

188
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,560
our minds, the knowledge, the way we access knowledge, the way we think about things.

189
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,360
It's not a matter of, well, I need to go figure this out and I have to learn.

190
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,060
It's, hey, I need to, oh, okay, I know it.

191
00:09:59,140 --> 00:09:59,400
I'm good.

192
00:09:59,500 --> 00:09:59,720
Got it.

193
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:00,860
And you just, it's there.

194
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,400
You're good.

195
00:10:01,540 --> 00:10:01,980
You've got it.

196
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,440
And anything that God needs you to know, you just, you know it and you move on.

197
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:05,680
Yeah.

198
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:07,500
And there's no time wasted.

199
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:11,860
There's no, let me spend a thousand years figuring out how to sing and how to do this

200
00:10:11,890 --> 00:10:13,080
and how to do this the right way.

201
00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:14,120
And it's just like, nope, you got it.

202
00:10:14,170 --> 00:10:14,360
You go.

203
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,340
Trying to remember something.

204
00:10:15,470 --> 00:10:18,900
I spent five minutes today driving down the road trying to remember somebody's name.

205
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,960
It's like, I'm not going to

206
00:10:21,779 --> 00:10:22,420
It'll hit me.

207
00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:24,060
Yeah, yeah.

208
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,020
None of that.

209
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,300
And the thing, I mean, this is not going to be a hypothesis.

210
00:10:28,580 --> 00:10:33,260
It's not going to be a, I think this is the way it is, or this could be the way, or this is a theory that I've got.

211
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:38,540
Everything that we know here is going to be pure and perfect and right.

212
00:10:38,860 --> 00:10:39,140
Perfect.

213
00:10:40,180 --> 00:10:40,820
Perfect doctrine.

214
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,600
Perfect theology.

215
00:10:41,980 --> 00:10:42,220
That's right.

216
00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:42,960
Yeah, yeah.

217
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:43,760
Because we'll see.

218
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:45,500
God, everybody's going to be bad.

219
00:10:45,580 --> 00:10:46,120
No, I'm just kidding.

220
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:50,720
Oh, my goodness.

221
00:10:50,780 --> 00:11:02,740
I mean, and that's the beauty of it, because all the things that, you know, at the end of the day, we've all got stuff that's probably not right in the things that we that we hold to very fervently and very strongly.

222
00:11:02,980 --> 00:11:08,260
I'm sure there are some things that when we get on the other side of glory, we're going to go, oh, oh, wow, that was.

223
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,000
Yeah, that's how that really works.

224
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,240
I miss that big time.

225
00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:17,180
And but there's not going to we we're also going to have the understanding that, hey, we were limited.

226
00:11:17,620 --> 00:11:19,540
Yeah, we could only see it in part.

227
00:11:19,660 --> 00:11:22,140
We can only see a small fraction of that.

228
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:25,760
You know, it's like people say, if you take a blind man and lead it to an elephant,

229
00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:27,660
and if they feel its leg, they'll tell you it's like a tree.

230
00:11:27,690 --> 00:11:30,240
If they feel its tail, they'll tell you it's like a vine.

231
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,100
If they feel its trunk, they'll tell you it's like a snake.

232
00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:35,980
Well, they all got a little piece of it, but they can't see the whole elephant.

233
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,080
It's the same thing with God and with the doctrine and with the truth that's in the Bible.

234
00:11:39,340 --> 00:11:40,320
We see parts of it.

235
00:11:40,350 --> 00:11:41,400
We can't see the whole thing.

236
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:41,960
We're blind.

237
00:11:42,140 --> 00:11:42,840
It's a glass dimly.

238
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,260
Yeah.

239
00:11:43,779 --> 00:11:44,060
Yeah.

240
00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:50,640
And that's like, you know, I think of people that when you have cataracts on your eyes and things like that, that's what it's going to be.

241
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:51,740
Those cataracts, you're just going to go.

242
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:52,720
And we're going to go, oh.

243
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,780
Removing those scales.

244
00:11:54,060 --> 00:11:55,240
Yeah, really removing those scales.

245
00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:56,460
But we know that song right now.

246
00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:57,500
Yeah, that's right.

247
00:11:57,540 --> 00:11:58,500
We know the song of redemption.

248
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,020
Yeah.

249
00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,400
Absolutely.

250
00:11:59,760 --> 00:11:59,860
Yeah.

251
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:00,340
Absolutely.

252
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,540
So it'll be a familiar song to us.

253
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,640
But there'll be nothing like singing it right there to him.

254
00:12:06,780 --> 00:12:06,860
Yeah.

255
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:07,660
Oh, my God.

256
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:07,820
Yeah.

257
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:08,760
Yeah.

258
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,560
What a wonderful time it's going to be.

259
00:12:10,780 --> 00:12:11,420
Gets me excited.

260
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Let's look at 1112.

261
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:19,540
And I beheld and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne of the beast and the elders.

262
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:36,880
And the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands of thousands saying with a loud voice, worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.

263
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:48,360
I mean, so you got these angels as far as the eye can see, innumerable amounts of these creatures created to serve God.

264
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,960
I mean, just think about that picture.

265
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:58,980
Picture these great beings, you know, and they're all there, man, and they're all there lifting.

266
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:02,420
I mean, just taking this choir to another level, right?

267
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,460
They're like, okay, sing.

268
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,380
Y'all know about it.

269
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,100
Sing about it.

270
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:07,340
You know, sing a little louder.

271
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,480
God don't do anything small, does he?

272
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:10,920
No.

273
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,880
He's got no budget.

274
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,020
No, he doesn't.

275
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,200
No budget.

276
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,040
No, he's not lurking on last year's budget to try to make it this year's budget.

277
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:19,420
No.

278
00:13:19,810 --> 00:13:20,400
He speaks.

279
00:13:20,980 --> 00:13:22,420
He does, and it's there.

280
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Let there be.

281
00:13:23,380 --> 00:13:23,860
It's there.

282
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:26,040
The cattle on a thousand hills, he's got it all.

283
00:13:26,050 --> 00:13:26,780
He owns it all.

284
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Myriads and myriads, mine says.

285
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Myriads and myriads and thousands of thousands.

286
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:31,820
That's uncountable.

287
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Yeah, it is.

288
00:13:32,890 --> 00:13:33,260
It is.

289
00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:33,680
Wow.

290
00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:36,380
Can you imagine what was going through John's mind?

291
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:39,420
As he looked up and he sees this and he goes, all right, well, there's a few.

292
00:13:39,779 --> 00:13:41,060
Okay, there's a bunch.

293
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,980
And then he, I can't see the end of them.

294
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:44,300
Yeah.

295
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:45,680
Just keeps going.

296
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:46,220
Yeah.

297
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:48,620
And they're flying and stuff.

298
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,980
So we're talking three-dimensionally.

299
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,280
Yeah.

300
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,260
Like they're not just like on a plane.

301
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,900
He's looking up and going, they're up in the air over me and they're stretching and going and going.

302
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:57,700
So thick.

303
00:13:57,860 --> 00:13:58,580
So thick.

304
00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,060
Yeah.

305
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,900
I mean, gosh, the very atmosphere is just filled with praise.

306
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:04,640
Yeah.

307
00:14:05,180 --> 00:14:07,880
I was trying to find it in the Bible.

308
00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:11,960
Maybe think of these are the good guys.

309
00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:12,520
Yes.

310
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,360
And there's a bad side to this thing, too.

311
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,260
Wasn't it like a third of them?

312
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,600
A third.

313
00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:18,480
Yeah, a third of them failed.

314
00:14:18,899 --> 00:14:22,340
And think if there's this many left, how many a third were.

315
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:23,340
A lot.

316
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,680
That's a lot.

317
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,060
We've got battles going on every day.

318
00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:29,500
Yeah, we've got demonic forces going on around us,

319
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:31,400
and we have no idea how much a third is.

320
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:32,560
It's a lot.

321
00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:33,100
It's a lot.

322
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,040
Yeah, enough to cover earth.

323
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:40,000
and to, you know, I mean, because Satan is not omnipresent.

324
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,940
You have to understand that Satan is not omnipresent.

325
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,840
God is, but Satan can't be in more than one place at a time.

326
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:58,240
And so he has to have his minions, these demons, these fallen angels to go about and to do his bidding.

327
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,720
You know, and that's the thing.

328
00:15:00,060 --> 00:15:08,540
For him, he has to have the hierarchy and he has to have his generals and his foot soldiers and so that he can keep them all doing what they need to do.

329
00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:10,580
Whereas God just goes, no, everybody reports to me.

330
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:11,060
Yeah.

331
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:11,540
Yeah.

332
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,860
And again, it goes back to the arrogance.

333
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:14,420
Yeah.

334
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:16,060
Say, I can do that.

335
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:17,280
Yeah.

336
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:18,800
Oh, and you now.

337
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,060
Yeah.

338
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,180
How'd that work out for you, buddy?

339
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Right.

340
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:21,020
Yeah.

341
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,560
Absolutely.

342
00:15:22,540 --> 00:15:22,680
Absolutely.

343
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:24,460
Ooh.

344
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:25,900
Hit that next one.

345
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:26,220
All right.

346
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:26,480
Ready?

347
00:15:26,740 --> 00:15:27,520
Do 13, 14.

348
00:15:27,780 --> 00:15:27,880
Yeah.

349
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:41,740
And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea and all things in them, I heard saying to him who sits on the throne and to the lamb be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.

350
00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:44,680
And the four living creatures kept saying, amen.

351
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,880
And the elders fell down and worshiped.

352
00:15:47,070 --> 00:15:48,080
So he's covered it all here.

353
00:15:48,270 --> 00:15:52,140
Yeah, he's got he's got the saints, got the angels, got everything in creation.

354
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:52,520
Yeah.

355
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:52,820
Yeah.

356
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,940
Everything's coming together for one purpose.

357
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:55,380
Yeah.

358
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:55,780
Right.

359
00:15:56,020 --> 00:15:58,380
And that's to praise the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

360
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Praise God.

361
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:13,960
There will be no human or no animal or no creature that will not be lifting their voice to him.

362
00:16:15,259 --> 00:16:21,640
Every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea and all that are in them.

363
00:16:21,820 --> 00:16:21,920
Yeah.

364
00:16:22,020 --> 00:16:22,320
I mean.

365
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,520
Every knee shall bow.

366
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,460
And he doesn't say every person.

367
00:16:26,590 --> 00:16:27,420
He says creature.

368
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:27,980
Yeah.

369
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:28,460
Yeah.

370
00:16:28,860 --> 00:16:30,120
He's hearing the animals.

371
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:30,800
Yeah.

372
00:16:31,340 --> 00:16:36,300
Joining in with this praise making and joining in with this noise going on.

373
00:16:36,330 --> 00:16:39,620
And he's going, the cows are down there making news.

374
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,220
Yeah.

375
00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:43,760
The lizards, the birds, the whales, the fish.

376
00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:51,060
I think of the scene in The Lion King where the animals are coming and they're kneeling down before Mufasi.

377
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:51,600
You know?

378
00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:51,920
Yeah.

379
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,660
I mean, everything is his.

380
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,060
Everything belongs to him.

381
00:16:58,279 --> 00:17:01,000
And these animals, they know who he is.

382
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,940
I mean, they know who created them.

383
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:08,040
Yeah, somewhere, I think it was Paul said that even the earth groans.

384
00:17:08,270 --> 00:17:08,939
It does, yeah.

385
00:17:08,939 --> 00:17:12,199
The eager expectation of the revealing of the saints of God.

386
00:17:12,339 --> 00:17:13,420
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

387
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,439
Absolutely, absolutely.

388
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,439
Yeah, and we're about to hit a contrast here, right, in chapter 6.

389
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:21,640
Yeah.

390
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:24,980
We're going from the light of heaven to the darkness of.

391
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:25,500
That's right.

392
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,319
That's right.

393
00:17:26,439 --> 00:17:26,620
Dark.

394
00:17:26,819 --> 00:17:28,180
The darkest of the dark.

395
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:28,660
Yeah.

396
00:17:29,060 --> 00:17:29,360
Yeah.

397
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,800
Let's, yeah, let's just dive into that.

398
00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:33,220
Let's read those first two verses.

399
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,360
I saw the lamb open one of the seals and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one

400
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:41,520
of the four beasts saying, come and see.

401
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:49,199
And I saw and behold a horse and he that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto

402
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,960
him and he went forth conquering to conquer now you got to be careful of that description because

403
00:17:55,020 --> 00:18:01,180
you're going to get confused here um if you're not careful yep um if you if you hold to this

404
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:08,340
pre-millennial uh pre-millennial uh idea of of how things unfold and how the bible unfolds here we

405
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,559
got to look at this and see that this is the antichrist um and i'll tell you a few reasons why

406
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,540
that I believe that. It's not Christ Jesus because Christ is still in the midst of the throne.

407
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:30,140
Christ is the one opening the seals as these events begin to happen. Chapter 19 describes him

408
00:18:30,490 --> 00:18:37,040
very clearly when he comes back and what it's going to look like then. And it's not yet time

409
00:18:37,180 --> 00:18:40,980
for his return. The Antichrist will first

410
00:18:41,340 --> 00:18:44,940
come and see that he will conquer evil

411
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:48,160
and bring peace, but this will not be the case

412
00:18:49,339 --> 00:18:53,040
as tribulation progresses, right? And when Christ

413
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,200
brings peace, it'll be permanent peace. Amen. It'll be

414
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,760
done and over. So, yeah. Go ahead.

415
00:19:00,980 --> 00:19:04,839
I was going to say, I love the more modern translation

416
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:08,020
of that, the King James says, and he went forth conquering and to conquer.

417
00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:15,200
The modern translations use the phrase, and he wrote out as a conqueror bent on conquest

418
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:18,240
or as a conqueror he wrote out to conquer.

419
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,460
He's not actually conquering anything.

420
00:19:20,620 --> 00:19:21,140
Bent on.

421
00:19:21,230 --> 00:19:21,940
I like the –

422
00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:24,060
I love that in the NIV.

423
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,600
He's bent on conquest.

424
00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:26,740
So he's going out here.

425
00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:31,800
He's not actually conquering anything, but he's making a big show of it.

426
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,160
And that's what he's setting out to do.

427
00:19:33,260 --> 00:19:33,320
Right.

428
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:34,460
That's what he wants to do.

429
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:35,260
That's what he wants to do.

430
00:19:35,370 --> 00:19:36,100
He wants to conquer everything.

431
00:19:36,380 --> 00:19:41,300
It's just he's not actually doing what he thinks he's doing.

432
00:19:41,490 --> 00:19:43,260
And what he's convincing other people he's doing.

433
00:19:43,420 --> 00:19:43,880
It's all a show.

434
00:19:44,580 --> 00:19:46,000
What he's doing is just for show.

435
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,460
It's a false piece, too, right?

436
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,220
He's got a bow, but he don't have any arrows.

437
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,500
Yeah, that's right.

438
00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:51,800
Yep.

439
00:19:51,980 --> 00:19:52,040
Right.

440
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,680
And this ties in to Daniel 9.

441
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,360
It's 926.

442
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,960
Then after 62 weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing.

443
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,420
The people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuaries.

444
00:20:05,580 --> 00:20:06,580
We know it's going to be Rome.

445
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:13,900
Matthew 24, Jesus kind of gives us that abomination of desolation warning that's in there.

446
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,860
It's the same thing that Antiochus did in their history.

447
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:23,400
So this stuff starts to come together, and it starts to become really important to understand the Old Testament and all the pieces.

448
00:20:23,780 --> 00:20:28,300
And understanding that some of those have some dual revealings, don't they?

449
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:32,980
Some similar things that happen, and then this happens on top of it.

450
00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:33,280
Yeah.

451
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,060
So we know this guy is a fake.

452
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:36,960
Yeah, absolutely.

453
00:20:37,180 --> 00:20:40,660
And all throughout the New Testament, we have warnings about Antichrist,

454
00:20:41,230 --> 00:20:43,640
the false Christ, the false Messiah that's to come.

455
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,600
John especially goes on and on about him in his epistle.

456
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:49,960
But careful.

457
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:50,940
Be careful.

458
00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:51,480
Yes.

459
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,520
And Jesus warned about it in Matthew 24.

460
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,460
He said, come, see.

461
00:20:55,740 --> 00:20:56,040
That's right.

462
00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:56,620
Here he is.

463
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,020
Here he is.

464
00:20:57,260 --> 00:20:57,300
Yeah.

465
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,720
As the lightning comes from the east to the west, right?

466
00:20:59,940 --> 00:21:00,080
Yeah.

467
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:01,360
So come the Son of Man.

468
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:01,600
Yeah.

469
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:02,020
Yeah.

470
00:21:02,820 --> 00:21:03,220
Amen.

471
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:04,160
Amen.

472
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,420
Go ahead and hit those next ones.

473
00:21:06,740 --> 00:21:07,120
All right.

474
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:07,880
Verse 3.

475
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:13,020
When he broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, Come.

476
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:15,820
And another, a red horse, went out.

477
00:21:15,980 --> 00:21:19,160
And to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth,

478
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,060
and that men would slay one another, and a great sword was given to him.

479
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Wow.

480
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:27,380
No peace.

481
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,140
No peace.

482
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,340
The Antichrist, like we said, he pretends to bring peace, doesn't he?

483
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:33,700
Yeah.

484
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:35,360
He pretends to bring peace to the world.

485
00:21:36,140 --> 00:21:40,620
But then here comes the red horse who brings with him an end to peace.

486
00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:41,660
Yeah.

487
00:21:42,020 --> 00:21:43,560
And he'll bring with him death.

488
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:44,600
He'll bring war.

489
00:21:46,580 --> 00:21:49,980
You know, no man will ever bring peace.

490
00:21:50,420 --> 00:21:54,180
No human being, no political candidate will ever bring peace.

491
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,720
Only Jesus Christ himself will bring peace to this world.

492
00:21:57,860 --> 00:21:58,040
Yeah.

493
00:21:58,420 --> 00:21:58,520
Amen.

494
00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Amen.

495
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,140
And this ain't necessarily like on a global stage of countries.

496
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:03,880
Right.

497
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:05,780
Individuals have no.

498
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:06,060
Cheers.

499
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:06,860
Yeah, that's right.

500
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:07,260
Yes.

501
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Man, we see that today.

502
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,020
Oh, gosh, we already see it.

503
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,000
We already see it.

504
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,480
It's coming.

505
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,820
There's so much more anxiety and depression and all these things are coming on.

506
00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:19,460
And they're real.

507
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,060
They're real.

508
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:29,620
But it but it seems to be in just coming out in droves, you know, it's and and our generations coming up are so unsettled.

509
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:41,420
I think that I don't know. I think our generation that we grew up in, it's just it was it was a generation who was settled on what they believed.

510
00:22:41,740 --> 00:22:50,880
They stood on it, and now you've got this just influx of information that's so confusing to this generation.

511
00:22:51,790 --> 00:23:00,780
Like I said before, you're getting these little snippets and bits and pieces of sermons that's enough to confuse people and never to get into anything solid.

512
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:03,560
And it's causing so much confusion.

513
00:23:03,670 --> 00:23:05,480
So you can imagine what it's going to be like.

514
00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:07,360
Yeah, and news headlines today.

515
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,200
Nobody reads the actual story.

516
00:23:09,210 --> 00:23:09,840
They read the headline.

517
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,500
and the headlines are usually misleading yeah they don't say exactly what's happening in the story

518
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:18,580
yeah and then they'll print a retraction you know two weeks later on the you know

519
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:24,940
bury it somewhere yeah but that piece is going and and we don't know what's real anymore and

520
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,940
satan is blurring yeah the line here between truth and lie yeah and that's that's his goal

521
00:23:31,390 --> 00:23:36,760
yeah it's goal and and and this says men will slay one another yeah yeah you're just gonna they're

522
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,620
They're going to still come against us.

523
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:37,940
Murderous.

524
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:38,560
Yeah.

525
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:39,320
Yeah.

526
00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:44,040
Isaiah 57, 20 and 21 says,

527
00:23:44,450 --> 00:23:51,520
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

528
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:54,600
There is no peace, saith my God to the wicked.

529
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:55,240
Yeah.

530
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:55,940
No peace.

531
00:23:56,180 --> 00:23:56,400
Yeah.

532
00:23:56,660 --> 00:23:57,140
No peace.

533
00:23:57,580 --> 00:23:58,060
No peace.

534
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:19,640
And you notice that if you're around somebody who, or if you hear somebody talking who's not saved or they don't go to church and they don't have Christ to rely on, and you watch how they react to things, you know, whether it's, you know, something going on in the media or something going on around the world.

535
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:27,400
I mean, it's just, they go crazy over it all, you know, and it's because they don't have the peace that we have.

536
00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:27,540
No.

537
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,060
They don't understand that this is not the end.

538
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:32,780
This world's not our home.

539
00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:33,700
We know the end.

540
00:24:33,820 --> 00:24:34,740
We know the end, yeah.

541
00:24:34,940 --> 00:24:36,460
And we know this ain't all there is.

542
00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:37,260
That's right, yeah.

543
00:24:37,460 --> 00:24:38,100
This is temporary.

544
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,920
Yeah, we've got hope beyond this world.

545
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,160
Yeah.

546
00:24:40,380 --> 00:24:41,300
Yeah, thank God.

547
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Praise the Lord for that.

548
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:45,940
What we got here?

549
00:24:46,220 --> 00:24:46,380
Five.

550
00:24:46,660 --> 00:24:46,820
Five.

551
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:53,420
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say,

552
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,140
Come and see.

553
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,960
And I beheld, and lo, a black horse, and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

554
00:25:00,530 --> 00:25:03,160
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,

555
00:25:03,260 --> 00:25:07,580
A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny.

556
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:11,480
And see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

557
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,380
So here we've got food is going to go through the roof.

558
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,840
This is where things start going crazy.

559
00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:23,380
Food's going to go through the roof more than we can even imagine today.

560
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:29,040
And the only ones that will be able to afford food is going to be those that are rich.

561
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,200
They're very, very wealthy.

562
00:25:32,060 --> 00:25:36,040
Oil and wine are said to represent the indulgence of man.

563
00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:38,600
Those are two things that we indulge in.

564
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:42,520
And it will be available during this time.

565
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:46,500
And man's consumption of it will be what destroys it, though.

566
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,100
It'll be what wipes it out.

567
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,420
Right.

568
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,960
It'll be here.

569
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,400
But they're going to consume.

570
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,540
Can you imagine the amount of alcoholics?

571
00:25:54,380 --> 00:25:56,240
It's going to take it to a new level, right?

572
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,120
People who have never been an alcoholic, they'll become an alcoholic.

573
00:26:00,180 --> 00:26:04,080
They'll try to drown their sorrows, their pain, their suffering,

574
00:26:05,340 --> 00:26:08,040
the financial woes and troubles that they're going through.

575
00:26:08,620 --> 00:26:10,000
They're going to try to drown it.

576
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,020
I mean, you know, and then, of course, you know, the oil market

577
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,540
and different things like that, people will be just beating people over the head

578
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080
trying to get to those fuels, right?

579
00:26:19,260 --> 00:26:24,460
because that's what we use for transportation, and it's what we use for warmth and all those things.

580
00:26:24,660 --> 00:26:28,060
Yeah, you know, we've seen glimpses of inflation in the last five years,

581
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:30,860
but this is going to be like hyperinflation.

582
00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:34,940
You know, a quart of wheat was a day's wages for Demarius, right?

583
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:36,140
Just get a quart of wheat.

584
00:26:36,140 --> 00:26:37,500
You can't feed your family on that.

585
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,380
No, no.

586
00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:42,120
It's going to be something ugly, and it's a natural outcome, really.

587
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,180
My Bible headline there, it says famine.

588
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:45,880
Yeah.

589
00:26:46,180 --> 00:26:48,700
And it's a natural outcome of war of the second seal.

590
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,460
It is, isn't it?

591
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:50,520
Yeah, absolutely.

592
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,640
It's ugly stuff and people starving to death.

593
00:26:54,780 --> 00:26:54,940
Yeah.

594
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,420
Literally.

595
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:55,980
Yeah.

596
00:26:56,220 --> 00:26:56,460
Gosh.

597
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,060
You know, and as we go through this, let me just remind you, you don't want to be here.

598
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:03,760
No.

599
00:27:03,980 --> 00:27:05,280
And you don't have to be here.

600
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,800
You can accept Christ Jesus today.

601
00:27:08,420 --> 00:27:12,100
You can make him Lord of your life.

602
00:27:12,220 --> 00:27:20,040
You can accept him as Savior and Lord, and he can forgive you of your sins, and he can save your soul tonight, right now.

603
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Guys, this thing, I'm not saying that's just to scare everybody, but it should.

604
00:27:24,580 --> 00:27:26,220
This thing could start today, right?

605
00:27:26,420 --> 00:27:27,600
This thing could start tonight.

606
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:28,660
It could start in the morning.

607
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:36,160
There's nothing left in the Word of God to keep Jesus from calling his church home.

608
00:27:36,260 --> 00:27:43,660
And as soon as he calls the church home, as soon as the rapture takes place, then this whole seven-year tribulation thing is going to begin to unfold.

609
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:44,740
Amen.

610
00:27:45,980 --> 00:27:46,200
Amen.

611
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,100
And Jesus has an invitation at the end of this book, right?

612
00:27:51,140 --> 00:27:51,500
He does.

613
00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:53,600
Come drink of the water of life without cost.

614
00:27:53,670 --> 00:27:53,800
Amen.

615
00:27:54,180 --> 00:27:55,340
He's inviting you right now.

616
00:27:55,420 --> 00:27:55,600
Yeah.

617
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:56,120
Yeah.

618
00:27:56,460 --> 00:27:56,680
Amen.

619
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:57,500
Amen.

620
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,180
Maybe we all need to repeat that after every seal and trumpet.

621
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,260
He's saying come.

622
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:03,860
Right.

623
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,100
And then you understand why John says come quickly.

624
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:21,120
Right. Come quickly, Lord Jesus. Let's get this thing out of the way. Let's get this thing done. Let's get this thing started. Yeah. But yeah. Amen. Yeah. All right. Next. Yes, sir. Go ahead. Seven, right? Yeah. Seven.

625
00:28:21,260 --> 00:28:26,060
When the lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, come.

626
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:33,400
I looked, and behold, an ashen horse, and he who sat on it had the name Death, and Hades was following with him.

627
00:28:34,060 --> 00:28:41,420
Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.

628
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,820
Now, this is not your favorite guy from Tombstone, the movie.

629
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:46,520
No.

630
00:28:47,679 --> 00:28:49,620
Hades is coming with me.

631
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,160
That's it.

632
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:53,640
This is death.

633
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,660
Oh, it is.

634
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,480
Death and not just physical body death.

635
00:28:58,660 --> 00:28:59,660
This is eternal death.

636
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:00,300
Yeah, yeah.

637
00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:03,660
Great disease is going to run rampant.

638
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,400
People are going to be starving to death.

639
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,380
Their immune system will break down.

640
00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:12,080
A quarter of the population is going to die.

641
00:29:12,660 --> 00:29:19,140
Their bodies are going to lay rotting in the streets and houses and homes and hospitals.

642
00:29:20,380 --> 00:29:26,020
And hospitals and graveyards and funeral homes, they won't have enough room to hold them all.

643
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:26,960
Yeah.

644
00:29:27,380 --> 00:29:31,320
And I was reading about the color of this horse.

645
00:29:31,460 --> 00:29:32,500
Mine says ashen.

646
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,380
Some say pale.

647
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,180
I'm not sure what King James says.

648
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,840
But the Greek word there was loros.

649
00:29:38,420 --> 00:29:38,500
Yeah.

650
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:44,520
It means a pale green, just like a rotten corpse kind of just nasty.

651
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Yeah, absolutely.

652
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:46,240
Absolutely.

653
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:47,380
Oh, man.

654
00:29:47,540 --> 00:29:49,920
What a terrible, terrible thing.

655
00:29:50,180 --> 00:29:54,340
that's going to take place that those who don't know Jesus

656
00:29:54,450 --> 00:29:55,940
are going to have to face and go through.

657
00:29:56,020 --> 00:30:00,520
Romans 5, 14, just let me tell you, death has come for them.

658
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses,

659
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,820
even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,

660
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,040
who is the figure of him that was to come.

661
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,420
So death is something that's inevitable.

662
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:14,940
Yeah.

663
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,040
It's coming.

664
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:17,140
Yeah, nobody escapes it.

665
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:17,800
No, no.

666
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:19,220
Except for the rapture.

667
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:19,720
That's it.

668
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,040
Yeah, that's right.

669
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:26,140
But isn't it crazy that we're in the first part of the tribulation.

670
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,220
That's right, yeah.

671
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:32,240
And it says authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword.

672
00:30:32,940 --> 00:30:34,400
What is it, eight billion people right now?

673
00:30:34,540 --> 00:30:35,140
That's right, yeah.

674
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,680
A fourth of them.

675
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:40,640
And some people say, well, I thought the bad stuff didn't happen until the second half.

676
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:46,140
Well, there are some bad things that had to happen to get everybody to move where they need to go, right,

677
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,960
and things to get in motion.

678
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,700
You know, death has three parts.

679
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,780
You've got physical death.

680
00:30:53,890 --> 00:30:59,100
This refers to the body, and it's brought about because of the sin of Adam, right?

681
00:30:59,320 --> 00:30:59,500
Yeah.

682
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:01,440
You've got spiritual death.

683
00:31:01,850 --> 00:31:05,560
This refers to our state before we accept Christ Jesus.

684
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,300
We're dead in our sins, right?

685
00:31:07,380 --> 00:31:13,740
Before you're saved, you're dead in our sins, and you're made alive, made to live in Christ Jesus.

686
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,560
And then the third thing is an eternal death.

687
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:25,080
This refers to eternal separation from God for those who died physically and spiritually without accepting Christ Jesus.

688
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,440
This is the second death that they talk about in Revelations 20, 14.

689
00:31:29,740 --> 00:31:37,560
But now this death is not unto not feeling or just being gone away and not ever having any conscious state.

690
00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:40,560
This is a conscious state of death.

691
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:40,900
Right.

692
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,000
It's not destruction.

693
00:31:42,340 --> 00:31:42,420
Right.

694
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:42,900
It's not.

695
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:43,900
It's not destroying.

696
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:44,460
Yeah.

697
00:31:44,700 --> 00:31:44,780
Yeah.

698
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:45,180
Yeah.

699
00:31:45,260 --> 00:31:47,740
You'll have a body that's not able to be destroyed.

700
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,960
And we'll talk more about that later,

701
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,760
but there's going to be a resurrection for those who are lost.

702
00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,980
And I believe they'll stand before the Lord in a body that's not able to be destroyed,

703
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:07,160
but able to feel everything, the fire, the heat, the separation, the darkness.

704
00:32:08,340 --> 00:32:08,640
Yeah.

705
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,320
It's not a situation where you're just going to go party with your buddies.

706
00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:12,780
No.

707
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:13,700
No.

708
00:32:13,740 --> 00:32:13,980
Right.

709
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,100
No, absolutely not.

710
00:32:15,340 --> 00:32:20,200
And one of the interesting things on this seal to me is the wild beasts of the earth.

711
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,460
Something I think a lot of people are going to get killed by dogs.

712
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,300
Yeah.

713
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,900
By all the animals that are running around.

714
00:32:30,190 --> 00:32:31,420
Your pet might turn against you.

715
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,240
They're hunting for food.

716
00:32:32,540 --> 00:32:32,700
Yeah.

717
00:32:33,050 --> 00:32:33,160
Yeah.

718
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,080
Yeah, absolutely.

719
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,600
We hear people dying, too, all the time.

720
00:32:37,370 --> 00:32:40,560
You hear people, like older people, sometimes dying in their pets.

721
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,220
And they come in and they're eating them.

722
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:43,820
Yeah, yeah.

723
00:32:44,130 --> 00:32:44,800
Stuff like that.

724
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:50,000
So you think about the death that's going on, they're going to get a taste for human flesh.

725
00:32:51,190 --> 00:32:52,440
And that's going to make it even worse.

726
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,000
I think God's built in like a fear into them.

727
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,160
I think that'll probably be gone.

728
00:32:57,340 --> 00:32:58,260
Yeah, absolutely.

729
00:32:59,130 --> 00:32:59,240
Absolutely.

730
00:33:01,860 --> 00:33:07,840
And we've talked about this a little bit before when we talk about this eternal death.

731
00:33:08,580 --> 00:33:12,040
When we die without Christ, we will enter into Hades.

732
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:18,080
it's described in Luke 16, 23, in the story of the rich man and Lazarus.

733
00:33:18,180 --> 00:33:19,580
It's a holding place, right?

734
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,180
When Christ died, he went into the inner parts of the earth,

735
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:24,860
and he set the captives free.

736
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,940
The Bible tells us these Old Testament saints,

737
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,400
he went in and he got them and he took them with him.

738
00:33:30,460 --> 00:33:37,100
And so the paradise side of this great place with a gulf on one side

739
00:33:37,260 --> 00:33:40,700
and Hades on the other side, the paradise side was emptied out.

740
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:46,680
But Hades, that holding place for the dead, the lost, is still there today.

741
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,020
So if you die right now, that's where you're going to go to hell.

742
00:33:49,220 --> 00:33:50,680
You'll go to hell and nigh.

743
00:33:51,940 --> 00:33:53,540
That won't be your final destination.

744
00:33:54,020 --> 00:33:57,820
We see that in Revelation chapter 20 because the lake of fire is the final destination.

745
00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:03,580
But Ephesians 4 tells us about that part where he sets the captives free.

746
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,160
Ephesians 4, 8 through 10.

747
00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:10,720
Wherefore, he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men.

748
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:17,000
Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

749
00:34:17,340 --> 00:34:23,780
He that descended is the same that also ascended far up above the heavens that he might fill all things.

750
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:37,080
So again, at that time, he emptied out Hades, but he leaves the lost in torment to be given up to judgment at the great white throne in Revelation chapter 20.

751
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,720
And then death and Hades are both thrown in there with it.

752
00:34:39,820 --> 00:34:40,399
No more death.

753
00:34:40,580 --> 00:34:41,440
That's good news for us.

754
00:34:41,490 --> 00:34:41,620
Yeah.

755
00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:42,100
Yeah.

756
00:34:43,260 --> 00:34:44,800
And it's good news for anybody listening.

757
00:34:45,110 --> 00:34:45,240
Yeah.

758
00:34:45,310 --> 00:34:45,419
Right.

759
00:34:45,780 --> 00:34:48,220
Again, come drink of the water, life without cost.

760
00:34:48,409 --> 00:34:48,560
Yeah.

761
00:34:48,700 --> 00:34:52,540
Your invitation's open because this is ugly, ugly stuff that we're going through.

762
00:34:52,919 --> 00:34:53,620
And you said that.

763
00:34:54,210 --> 00:35:00,440
I mean, again, we mentioned that it's going to be an eternal conscious state of torture.

764
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,540
And we kind of push that because there's been some controversy about that lately.

765
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,300
I know that we talked about it on a Wednesday night a few weeks ago,

766
00:35:13,580 --> 00:35:17,060
but people are saying, well, you know, you just die,

767
00:35:17,780 --> 00:35:19,940
and then you're punished, you stay in hell for a while,

768
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,520
and then eventually you just burn up and you just go away.

769
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,020
But like Dennis just said, not only in Revelation chapter 20

770
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:33,060
is Hades thrown into the lake of fire, the Antichrist, Satan himself,

771
00:35:33,460 --> 00:35:36,820
all thrown into the lake of fire, but death is thrown into the lake of fire,

772
00:35:36,980 --> 00:35:38,460
So there is no more death, right?

773
00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:39,220
Yeah.

774
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,100
Yeah.

775
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,140
If death ceases.

776
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,040
Yeah.

777
00:35:42,110 --> 00:35:44,240
If death is gone, you can't die.

778
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:45,140
There is no more death.

779
00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:45,620
That's right.

780
00:35:45,820 --> 00:35:55,440
And that's why I say when we talk about the fact that they are resurrected, I always say, I truly don't believe they're going to have the same kind of resurrected body as us.

781
00:35:55,540 --> 00:35:57,580
I think it's going to be a lot closer to what we have today.

782
00:35:58,340 --> 00:36:00,200
It just can't die because death doesn't exist.

783
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,360
It's breaking down.

784
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,160
It's falling apart.

785
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,340
It's being destroyed.

786
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,320
It's being completely eroded and consumed.

787
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,260
But it can't completely, it can never actually die.

788
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,620
So it's just constantly in this state of being destroyed.

789
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:16,520
And there is no end to it because there's no time.

790
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,600
So there is no next.

791
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,240
You're trapped in that moment with a body that is not designed to exist eternally.

792
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,740
And you're breaking down and you're stuck there for all eternity.

793
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,920
And hey, here's the thing.

794
00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:35,020
When we say that, and this is where so many people get messed up because they say,

795
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,820
why would a loving God do that?

796
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:42,820
he didn't he gave you a choice he's inviting you right now yeah that's right yeah that's what we're

797
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,920
telling you if you have a choice please please please don't do this and god is begging you he's

798
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,600
a just god and he's a holy god and that's what we got to understand on the other side of it too

799
00:36:53,090 --> 00:36:59,980
you know listen he can't be there with you i mean he can't be in around evil he can't be around sin

800
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,040
This is not who he is.

801
00:37:02,380 --> 00:37:04,260
He is a holy God.

802
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,720
And it's our sin that separates us from it.

803
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:16,140
And our sin can separate us from it temporarily until we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, or it can separate us from him forever.

804
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:16,660
Right.

805
00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:17,160
Yeah.

806
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:23,280
And it's the cross where perfect love, and that's all people want to concentrate on is that perfect love.

807
00:37:23,330 --> 00:37:23,440
Yeah.

808
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:24,620
But there's perfect justice.

809
00:37:25,020 --> 00:37:25,180
That's right.

810
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,680
That's where they meet is on the cross.

811
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,060
Sure.

812
00:37:27,420 --> 00:37:27,500
Right.

813
00:37:28,010 --> 00:37:29,360
The justice has to be paid.

814
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,780
Either you trust Jesus for that justice or you do it yourself.

815
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,060
Either he paid the debt for you or you've got to pay it yourself.

816
00:37:36,340 --> 00:37:38,060
And if you've got to pay it yourself, it means death.

817
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,800
But however, death is going to be destroyed.

818
00:37:41,180 --> 00:37:42,820
So you cannot actually die.

819
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:45,540
And he's begging.

820
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:52,320
I mean, goodness, he was begging so hard and screaming at people so loud that he sent his son to die on the cross.

821
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:53,160
Yeah.

822
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,680
And one of the things that we talked about on that Wednesday night, the last Wednesday night, I think we talked about this.

823
00:38:00,620 --> 00:38:08,160
to understand the type of judgment um people are saying well you know it's it's enough punishment

824
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:12,740
that you go to hell and you die and you stay there for a while and then you burn up and you're gone

825
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:21,480
uh but it's not enough right it's not enough it doesn't it doesn't pay the price for um for the

826
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:28,380
eternity of sin from, or at least from the beginning of this world until now.

827
00:38:28,490 --> 00:38:33,200
You think about all the sin that has taken place in this world, all the heinous crimes,

828
00:38:33,330 --> 00:38:42,440
all the rapes and child molestings and murders and just the terrible most people like Hitler

829
00:38:42,510 --> 00:38:43,660
and all these different things.

830
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:47,500
Listen, it would take an eternity to pay for all of these things.

831
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:49,380
Yeah, you can't possibly do it.

832
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,380
And you're moving when you move out of this life, you're moving to a realm where there is no time.

833
00:38:53,660 --> 00:38:54,520
Yeah, that's right.

834
00:38:54,660 --> 00:38:54,820
Right.

835
00:38:54,980 --> 00:38:58,560
And you've made your choice and you have to make your choice now.

836
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:00,440
And he's crying out to you.

837
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:00,920
That's right.

838
00:39:00,980 --> 00:39:02,780
Tyler was saying he's crying out to us.

839
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:03,120
Yeah.

840
00:39:03,999 --> 00:39:04,880
He's inviting us.

841
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,140
He gave us a whole book of the Bible to warn us.

842
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:07,440
Yeah.

843
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:08,600
This is what's coming.

844
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:11,060
Well, why don't God put an end to evil?

845
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,180
Well, here it is.

846
00:39:12,380 --> 00:39:12,660
Here it is.

847
00:39:12,820 --> 00:39:13,120
Yeah.

848
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,440
And you're you better be on the right side.

849
00:39:15,860 --> 00:39:17,460
And, you know, that's the thing.

850
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,060
One time, I don't remember, I think it was Angel Studios.

851
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,480
Somebody did this series about Jesus and him appearing to people and all these things.

852
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,020
And it was kind of a what if type thing.

853
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,800
But in one of the episodes, he says to somebody is they're saying, why didn't you do something?

854
00:39:30,820 --> 00:39:31,960
He said, I was screaming.

855
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:32,640
Yeah.

856
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,080
And you wouldn't listen.

857
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:34,560
Yeah.

858
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,300
I was screaming in your ear.

859
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:37,520
I was begging you.

860
00:39:37,740 --> 00:39:39,440
I wasn't just standing at the door knocking.

861
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,540
I was pounding on it and just almost breaking it down.

862
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,800
But the fact is, it's your decision.

863
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:46,440
Yeah.

864
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:48,720
And I was begging you to just pay attention.

865
00:39:49,060 --> 00:39:49,460
That's love.

866
00:39:49,980 --> 00:39:50,420
It is.

867
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,240
Love always requires a decision from both people.

868
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:53,500
Yeah.

869
00:39:53,620 --> 00:39:53,920
Absolutely.

870
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:54,620
Yeah.

871
00:39:55,180 --> 00:39:55,800
It's mutual.

872
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:56,900
You know, that's the thing.

873
00:39:57,180 --> 00:39:58,360
It does.

874
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,740
It breaks my heart when I see people want to go with that cop out of just, oh, well, we're going to be destroyed.

875
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:03,800
And it's like, oh.

876
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:04,280
No.

877
00:40:04,740 --> 00:40:04,820
Yeah.

878
00:40:04,940 --> 00:40:05,900
It's like, yes, but no.

879
00:40:06,020 --> 00:40:06,720
And that's the problem.

880
00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:07,400
It is both.

881
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,120
And it is everything.

882
00:40:08,340 --> 00:40:12,060
And you're stuck in that for eternity because you chose to reject it.

883
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,980
You chose to reject eternity.

884
00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:15,500
To live without peace.

885
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,940
You chose to live without joy.

886
00:40:16,970 --> 00:40:18,120
You chose to live without love.

887
00:40:18,310 --> 00:40:20,620
You chose to live without everything that God is.

888
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,980
You chose to live selfishly, right, for yourself and for nobody else.

889
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,140
It's heartbreaking.

890
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:32,480
This whole time of death is mentioned again or mentioned before in Ezekiel 14, 21.

891
00:40:33,460 --> 00:40:40,000
For thus saith the Lord, how much more when I send my four sword judgments upon Jerusalem,

892
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:47,220
the sword and the famine and the noisome beast and the pestilence to cut off from it man and beast.

893
00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:49,580
And so Ezekiel predicts that.

894
00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:58,640
Matthew 24, 22, if it were not for Christ ending this whole seven-year period, everyone would have died.

895
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,160
But he says this, he said,

896
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:06,060
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved.

897
00:41:06,380 --> 00:41:09,320
But for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened.

898
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:10,140
Yeah.

899
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:13,400
And it's mercy.

900
00:41:13,900 --> 00:41:16,360
And we'll see all through Revelation, his mercy.

901
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:16,840
Yeah.

902
00:41:16,940 --> 00:41:17,320
His mercy.

903
00:41:17,820 --> 00:41:21,280
And you see people, well, now we're going to crawl in the caves and the rocks.

904
00:41:21,460 --> 00:41:22,460
And oh, the lamb.

905
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,120
They know what's happening.

906
00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:25,000
Yeah, that's right.

907
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,120
And they still won't repent.

908
00:41:26,220 --> 00:41:26,900
They still won't repent.

909
00:41:27,420 --> 00:41:29,200
It reminds me of Pharaoh, right?

910
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:30,580
He had 10 chances.

911
00:41:31,060 --> 00:41:31,340
Yeah.

912
00:41:32,420 --> 00:41:32,520
Yeah.

913
00:41:33,220 --> 00:41:33,580
Amen.

914
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,160
Amen.

915
00:41:34,940 --> 00:41:36,660
Death is our enemy, right?

916
00:41:36,860 --> 00:41:42,340
1 Corinthians 15, 26 says the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

917
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:43,000
Yeah.

918
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:43,880
It's our enemy.

919
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:46,420
And it comes from the enemy, right?

920
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,640
That's because of the enemy.

921
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:48,200
Yeah.

922
00:41:49,380 --> 00:41:49,520
Yeah.

923
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,520
You know what?

924
00:41:51,620 --> 00:41:53,400
We're going to get past the ninth first tonight.

925
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:54,060
Hit it, brother.

926
00:41:55,620 --> 00:41:56,100
Is it my turn?

927
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:56,660
I don't know.

928
00:41:57,260 --> 00:41:57,920
I ain't going for it.

929
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:58,660
All right.

930
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:05,000
When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God

931
00:42:05,420 --> 00:42:07,420
and because of the testimony which they had maintained.

932
00:42:08,300 --> 00:42:10,040
And they cried out with a loud voice saying,

933
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,740
How long, O Lord, holy and true, will you refrain from judging

934
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,340
and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

935
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,200
And there was given to each of them a white robe,

936
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:22,060
and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer

937
00:42:22,370 --> 00:42:24,460
until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren

938
00:42:24,510 --> 00:42:27,880
who were to be killed even as they had been would be completed also.

939
00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:34,760
This one is not like we've been seeing in the first four.

940
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,460
yeah it's a little different it's a it's a scene shift back to heaven yeah that's right that's

941
00:42:40,460 --> 00:42:46,360
right it is it is uh yeah this is the altar in heaven right which is the place where christ

942
00:42:46,740 --> 00:42:52,260
placed his own blood on the mercy seat and the old testament sacrifice blood were all put under

943
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:59,040
the altar that's right yeah for the remission of sins uh hebrews 9 23 and 24 it was therefore

944
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:04,740
necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these but the

945
00:43:04,740 --> 00:43:08,260
things themselves, which with better sacrifices than these.

946
00:43:08,510 --> 00:43:13,900
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the

947
00:43:14,100 --> 00:43:18,980
true, but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us.

948
00:43:19,140 --> 00:43:26,200
So he's where everything, everything else that we built, the temples that were built,

949
00:43:26,810 --> 00:43:30,980
the altars that were built, they were all a type and likeness of what was in heaven.

950
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:38,920
And so Jesus goes, when he dies, and he places his blood on the mercy seat in heaven, nothing can touch that.

951
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,600
I mean, you think about it.

952
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:47,540
These other temples will be cleaned up, folded up, tore down, gone away.

953
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:51,700
But what's in heaven can't be touched, and it can't be taken away.

954
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,700
The souls mentioned here are the souls of the Old Testament saints.

955
00:43:56,860 --> 00:44:01,580
And with them, the slain during the Great Tribulation, I believe.

956
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:02,460
The martyrs.

957
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:03,380
The martyrs, yeah.

958
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:10,880
Luke 11, 51, that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world,

959
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,640
may be required of this generation from the blood of Abel and to the blood of Zacharias,

960
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:18,140
which perished between the altar and the temple.

961
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,660
Verily I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.

962
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,160
And I wonder about this.

963
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:29,940
And I struggle with some of this.

964
00:44:30,180 --> 00:44:31,160
I just want everybody to know.

965
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:42,040
This looks like what I believe to be people who were killed before the Great Tribulation.

966
00:44:42,140 --> 00:44:42,960
These are saints.

967
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:43,660
These are saints.

968
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,540
Each of them was given a white robe, and that represents God's righteousness,

969
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,780
just like the parable of the wedding feast that Jesus took.

970
00:44:50,780 --> 00:44:50,840
Right.

971
00:44:53,540 --> 00:44:56,320
These guys, there's more to come.

972
00:44:56,700 --> 00:45:00,320
In verse 11, it tells that there's more of you that are going to be added here.

973
00:45:00,740 --> 00:45:03,200
And these guys have kind of been put in a holding place.

974
00:45:03,380 --> 00:45:03,960
Yeah, yeah.

975
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,220
So it had to have happened during the tribulation.

976
00:45:06,420 --> 00:45:07,660
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

977
00:45:08,020 --> 00:45:08,620
Yeah, I think so.

978
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:15,640
And it could have been – they may have been part of that quarter of the earth that died in the first part of it.

979
00:45:16,180 --> 00:45:17,540
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

980
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,380
Absolutely.

981
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:27,480
So, yeah, I mean, it's like you said, the scene shifts here.

982
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,260
And he loves his own.

983
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:33,880
And he will avenge his own.

984
00:45:34,140 --> 00:45:34,520
Yeah.

985
00:45:35,180 --> 00:45:35,260
Yeah.

986
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:35,860
Right?

987
00:45:36,340 --> 00:45:36,520
Yeah.

988
00:45:36,740 --> 00:45:37,700
He takes it personally, don't he?

989
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:38,480
He really does.

990
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,380
That's like Matthew 25, the sheep and goats judgment, where he said,

991
00:45:41,380 --> 00:45:43,580
and as much as you did the least of these, you had to me.

992
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:44,060
That's right.

993
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:44,380
Yeah.

994
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,660
I think David understood it better than we do.

995
00:45:48,860 --> 00:45:55,300
Because, you know, so many times a psalmist says, you know, God, you're going to avenge me, O Lord.

996
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:57,620
You know, those who have come against me.

997
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,080
And he continues to pray that and talk about that.

998
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,080
And we know that the Bible tells us vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, right?

999
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,900
And so he will.

1000
00:46:08,060 --> 00:46:09,200
He'll avenge the saints.

1001
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:12,960
He'll avenge those who are his, those that have come to him.

1002
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:15,620
He's going to do it in dramatic fashion here, too.

1003
00:46:15,980 --> 00:46:16,800
Man, you should.

1004
00:46:17,260 --> 00:46:17,660
Big time.

1005
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,360
Oh, well, this next seal will show you.

1006
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:21,140
Yeah, absolutely.

1007
00:46:21,700 --> 00:46:21,820
Absolutely.

1008
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:22,520
Yeah.

1009
00:46:23,020 --> 00:46:23,900
Verse 12.

1010
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:24,580
Yeah.

1011
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,260
Verse 12.

1012
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:31,460
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake,

1013
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:35,920
and the sun became black as a sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.

1014
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:45,680
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

1015
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:52,620
Man, I mean, this will be more than likely be the beginning.

1016
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:57,600
This may be the beginning of the last three and a half years right here, the second half.

1017
00:46:57,710 --> 00:47:00,220
Do you think the sixth seal is in response to the fifth seal?

1018
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:01,280
Probably, yeah.

1019
00:47:01,420 --> 00:47:02,820
I think that's my kids.

1020
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:03,720
Yeah, that's right.

1021
00:47:03,850 --> 00:47:05,300
Yeah, so here's what's going to happen.

1022
00:47:05,610 --> 00:47:05,720
Yeah.

1023
00:47:05,930 --> 00:47:07,500
I think you're right.

1024
00:47:07,530 --> 00:47:09,120
I think you're right, and I think it will.

1025
00:47:09,460 --> 00:47:12,140
I think this will begin the great tribulation.

1026
00:47:13,460 --> 00:47:15,360
But let's compare with other scriptures.

1027
00:47:16,340 --> 00:47:20,660
Joel 30, 31, chapter 2, verse 30 and 31.

1028
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,360
This is the beginning of the end.

1029
00:47:23,780 --> 00:47:28,180
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

1030
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:35,040
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and the terrible day of the Lord to come.

1031
00:47:36,140 --> 00:47:37,880
And then Acts chapter 2 and verse 20.

1032
00:47:38,260 --> 00:47:44,620
The sun shall be turned into darkness, the moon into blood before the great and notable day of the Lord to come.

1033
00:47:45,940 --> 00:47:48,760
Gosh, I've got tons of them here, and I won't read them all.

1034
00:47:49,460 --> 00:47:55,400
Joel 3, verse 9 through 17 talks about it again, preparing for war.

1035
00:47:56,180 --> 00:47:57,460
Wake up, mighty men.

1036
00:47:58,260 --> 00:48:01,140
I mean, it goes on talking about that.

1037
00:48:01,230 --> 00:48:07,380
And behold, the day of the Lord cometh in Isaiah chapter 13, verse 9 through 13.

1038
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,300
Isaiah 34, 1 through 4.

1039
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,200
Come near you nations to hear and hearken you people.

1040
00:48:12,660 --> 00:48:14,680
Let the earth hear and all us therein.

1041
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,780
the world, and all the things to come for it,

1042
00:48:17,780 --> 00:48:20,340
for the indignation of the Lord is upon all the nations,

1043
00:48:20,410 --> 00:48:24,200
and his fury is upon all their armies.

1044
00:48:24,720 --> 00:48:26,300
He hath utterly destroyed them.

1045
00:48:26,300 --> 00:48:27,940
He hath delivered them to the slaughter.

1046
00:48:28,420 --> 00:48:30,560
Their slain also shall be cast out.

1047
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,500
Their stink shall come up out of their carcasses,

1048
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,960
and the mountains shall be melted with their blood,

1049
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,800
and all the hosts of heaven shall be dissolved,

1050
00:48:39,090 --> 00:48:41,800
and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll,

1051
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:50,340
All their hosts shall fall down as a leaf falleth from off the vine and as a falling fig from a tree.

1052
00:48:50,820 --> 00:48:57,760
And then we go into Matthew 24, and it talks about immediately after the tribulation of these days, the sun being darkened.

1053
00:48:58,380 --> 00:49:01,320
Revelation 16, 18 speaks of great earthquakes.

1054
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,260
I mean, this is going to be, like you said, this is the indignation.

1055
00:49:05,940 --> 00:49:06,560
This is the revenge.

1056
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:08,500
This is the wrath of God.

1057
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:10,300
Yeah, yeah.

1058
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:10,700
Yeah.

1059
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,200
You don't want to be around an angry God.

1060
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:13,020
Righteous anger.

1061
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:13,400
Yeah.

1062
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:13,880
Yeah.

1063
00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:14,780
Yeah.

1064
00:49:15,380 --> 00:49:15,600
Absolutely.

1065
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:16,940
Oh, man.

1066
00:49:17,060 --> 00:49:17,900
This is –

1067
00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:22,320
And people wonder what God's opinion of sin is.

1068
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:22,680
Yeah.

1069
00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:24,380
This is his opinion.

1070
00:49:24,660 --> 00:49:28,700
He's so angry at it that the whole universe starts tearing itself apart.

1071
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,420
He does, yeah.

1072
00:49:29,620 --> 00:49:29,680
Yeah.

1073
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:30,940
Don't be his enemy.

1074
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:31,600
No.

1075
00:49:31,900 --> 00:49:33,460
No, don't be an enemy of God.

1076
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,100
I mean, when – and, you know, I've never really thought about that until just then.

1077
00:49:37,260 --> 00:49:48,540
When you read this, you realize what you're reading is a description of the universe being ripped, just breaking itself apart because God is so angry.

1078
00:49:48,770 --> 00:49:50,780
And the wild thing is this is not the end yet.

1079
00:49:51,180 --> 00:49:52,180
This is not the end yet.

1080
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:52,620
No.

1081
00:49:52,900 --> 00:49:54,600
This is probably the end of the first half.

1082
00:49:54,780 --> 00:49:54,980
Yeah.

1083
00:49:55,240 --> 00:49:55,540
That's right.

1084
00:49:55,720 --> 00:49:55,900
Yeah.

1085
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:56,400
That's right.

1086
00:49:56,630 --> 00:49:56,720
Yeah.

1087
00:49:56,860 --> 00:49:58,540
This is just the start of the second half.

1088
00:49:58,550 --> 00:50:00,900
We've still got another three and a half years of this mess left.

1089
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:01,400
Yeah.

1090
00:50:02,020 --> 00:50:03,820
And it hasn't got to the worst part yet.

1091
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,400
We haven't got there yet.

1092
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Nope.

1093
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:05,940
No.

1094
00:50:06,500 --> 00:50:06,680
Nope.

1095
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:07,120
Mm-hmm.

1096
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:08,240
We'll keep going?

1097
00:50:08,420 --> 00:50:08,600
Yeah.

1098
00:50:09,420 --> 00:50:09,940
All right, 14.

1099
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,740
The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up,

1100
00:50:13,740 --> 00:50:16,000
and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

1101
00:50:16,980 --> 00:50:17,080
Hmm.

1102
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,820
Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich

1103
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,400
and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves

1104
00:50:24,420 --> 00:50:25,600
and among the rocks of the mountains.

1105
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,020
And they said to the mountains and to the rocks,

1106
00:50:28,460 --> 00:50:32,479
fall on us and hide us from the presence of him who sits on the throne

1107
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,900
and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come,

1108
00:50:37,060 --> 00:50:38,360
and who is able to stand?

1109
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:40,340
Wow.

1110
00:50:41,380 --> 00:50:43,320
They know what's going on, man.

1111
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,760
They know who this is doing this.

1112
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:46,560
Yes, absolutely.

1113
00:50:46,990 --> 00:50:47,840
And let's say this.

1114
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:49,120
Take this literally.

1115
00:50:49,580 --> 00:50:49,660
Yeah.

1116
00:50:49,820 --> 00:50:51,480
This is not figurative right here.

1117
00:50:51,860 --> 00:50:52,980
This is literal.

1118
00:50:53,860 --> 00:50:56,300
We see the same thing in two other places.

1119
00:50:57,140 --> 00:51:00,760
Nahum 1, verse 5, the mountains quake at him, and the hills melt,

1120
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:06,940
and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world and all that dwell therein.

1121
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,360
And then Revelations 20, 11,

1122
00:51:08,450 --> 00:51:10,600
And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it,

1123
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,040
from whose faith the earth and heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them.

1124
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,980
So when you look back in Scripture and you compare it to other Scriptures,

1125
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,960
there's nothing that says, oh, it may be like this, but it may be like this.

1126
00:51:22,020 --> 00:51:22,940
Oh, it's like this.

1127
00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:27,900
The earth and the heavens are melting away, and the great day of the Lord has come,

1128
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,640
and wrath is being poured out on mankind.

1129
00:51:32,060 --> 00:51:32,260
Amen.

1130
00:51:32,580 --> 00:51:39,160
Stop with the allegory garbage to make God fit your idea of, oh, he's just love.

1131
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:39,520
Yeah.

1132
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:40,360
He's wrath.

1133
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:40,780
That's right.

1134
00:51:40,900 --> 00:51:41,160
He's wrath.

1135
00:51:41,460 --> 00:51:41,960
He's justice.

1136
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:42,700
He's righteous.

1137
00:51:42,980 --> 00:51:43,420
He's holy.

1138
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,160
He's all these things.

1139
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,560
Understand who he is and take it at face value, for crying out loud.

1140
00:51:49,970 --> 00:51:50,960
What is it, Occam's razor?

1141
00:51:51,220 --> 00:51:51,300
Yeah.

1142
00:51:51,570 --> 00:51:53,480
The simplest explanation is always the best one.

1143
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:53,640
Right.

1144
00:51:55,180 --> 00:51:58,980
he is perfectly just, he is holding back that wrath.

1145
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,960
He's holding on to it because he says, it's not time.

1146
00:52:01,020 --> 00:52:01,460
It's not time.

1147
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:01,960
It's not time.

1148
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,740
I'm giving him every chance, every chance, every chance, every chance.

1149
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:09,480
But at some point he goes, all right, I've literally given you all the chances.

1150
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:09,960
Yeah.

1151
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,980
And it's not like one of us blowing up, you know, this no, we get mad.

1152
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:13,900
This is calculated.

1153
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:15,960
This is, this has been building.

1154
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,400
It is calculated and it's, and it's justified.

1155
00:52:21,020 --> 00:52:21,340
Absolutely.

1156
00:52:21,580 --> 00:52:28,320
You know, I mean, sometimes we can get angry and we feel justified, but we are not necessarily justified.

1157
00:52:28,490 --> 00:52:33,480
I mean, there's instances where, sure, we should be angry and it's righteous anger, 100 percent.

1158
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:42,560
But sometimes even in that, even in that, I've been there myself, even in our righteous anger, we take it too far.

1159
00:52:42,690 --> 00:52:44,360
We think it too far.

1160
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:52,500
We go another level with it where we become judge and jury, and it's not our job, right?

1161
00:52:52,660 --> 00:52:53,780
It's not our job.

1162
00:52:54,820 --> 00:52:55,900
But he is.

1163
00:52:56,020 --> 00:52:56,720
He is judge.

1164
00:52:56,730 --> 00:52:57,360
He is jury.

1165
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:59,260
Like you said, he is righteous.

1166
00:52:59,430 --> 00:53:00,040
He is holy.

1167
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:01,520
He's all these things.

1168
00:53:01,570 --> 00:53:06,240
And so when he does this, it's not, oh, gosh, I can't believe he done that.

1169
00:53:06,270 --> 00:53:07,200
They didn't deserve this.

1170
00:53:07,340 --> 00:53:12,340
No, they 100%, they 1,000% deserved what they got.

1171
00:53:12,460 --> 00:53:14,640
He's not going to back up and go, oh, I probably went too far.

1172
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:16,460
Yeah, no, I shouldn't have done that.

1173
00:53:17,060 --> 00:53:19,940
No, he's doing exactly what he says he's going to do 2,000 years ago.

1174
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:24,400
And you think about, yeah, think about the grace and the mercy.

1175
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,560
He's still, even in the midst of all this, he's showing grace and mercy.

1176
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:29,040
Absolutely.

1177
00:53:29,450 --> 00:53:31,780
I mean, people are getting saved during this time,

1178
00:53:31,980 --> 00:53:34,280
and they don't have to take the mark of the beast.

1179
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:35,240
Yeah, they're going to die.

1180
00:53:35,350 --> 00:53:36,760
Yeah, they're probably going to starve to death,

1181
00:53:37,180 --> 00:53:39,180
but they don't have to take the mark of the beast,

1182
00:53:39,580 --> 00:53:42,960
And they can be a child of God even in the midst of this.

1183
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,160
And he sends out 144,000 preachers to preach the word of God.

1184
00:53:47,540 --> 00:53:52,480
And then he sends like angels to four corners of the earth flying around telling everybody about Jesus.

1185
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:53,420
Go and take the mark.

1186
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,020
Yeah, right.

1187
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:59,320
And then you've got two guys, maybe Moses and Elijah, that are going to be down there just screaming out.

1188
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:00,240
Killing people with fire.

1189
00:54:02,940 --> 00:54:04,640
And this is not allegory.

1190
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,980
We just made this up because it's a neat story.

1191
00:54:08,620 --> 00:54:10,780
And these people know exactly who it is.

1192
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:11,080
Yeah.

1193
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:11,740
And they won't repent.

1194
00:54:12,020 --> 00:54:12,300
That's right.

1195
00:54:12,580 --> 00:54:13,320
And they won't repent.

1196
00:54:13,620 --> 00:54:16,500
And he gives them chance after chance after chance, just like he did for Pharaoh.

1197
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:18,560
They don't even try to repent here.

1198
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:18,900
Yeah.

1199
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,060
They're about to be destroyed.

1200
00:54:20,330 --> 00:54:21,760
And they look at him and they say, hide us.

1201
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:22,140
Kill us.

1202
00:54:22,290 --> 00:54:22,420
Yeah.

1203
00:54:22,860 --> 00:54:23,160
Hide us.

1204
00:54:23,350 --> 00:54:27,320
And hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne.

1205
00:54:28,100 --> 00:54:31,500
And it's like, how about you get out there and say, I'm sorry.

1206
00:54:32,019 --> 00:54:32,380
Yeah.

1207
00:54:32,780 --> 00:54:39,380
Your solution to somebody ripping the universe in half is, I'm going to go hide in the corner.

1208
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,260
I mean, if you get too close to thunder, I'm like, Lord Jesus.

1209
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:43,700
Yeah.

1210
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:51,100
This is what's so funny is that it's the wrath of what?

1211
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:52,240
The lamb.

1212
00:54:53,140 --> 00:54:55,580
Guys, what a strange statement to be.

1213
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:56,720
Wham.

1214
00:54:56,720 --> 00:54:58,460
You don't say that on a fence ever, do you?

1215
00:54:58,900 --> 00:54:59,560
I mean.

1216
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:01,600
It's like a Monty Python.

1217
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:08,400
Yeah, he is, man.

1218
00:55:08,510 --> 00:55:08,840
He is.

1219
00:55:09,020 --> 00:55:10,120
And we see that in 19.

1220
00:55:10,230 --> 00:55:12,880
Is it 19 where he saw it coming back the way he left?

1221
00:55:13,110 --> 00:55:13,220
No.

1222
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:14,300
Back as a lamb.

1223
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:16,200
That's the lion coming back.

1224
00:55:16,780 --> 00:55:17,700
That's exactly right.

1225
00:55:17,890 --> 00:55:18,000
Yeah.

1226
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:26,480
You know, and that's the thing that, I mean, I read this and all my brain goes to the effects

1227
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,320
of what makes something look like this.

1228
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:33,320
What makes the earth tremble to the point that islands start moving?

1229
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,520
What makes the sky look like it's rolling back?

1230
00:55:37,700 --> 00:55:42,040
What we're talking about here is literally you've got stars collapsing.

1231
00:55:42,500 --> 00:55:44,140
You've got black holes forming.

1232
00:55:44,780 --> 00:55:48,940
When I say ripping, all of those things are just going, and it's just unraveling.

1233
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:53,580
And you're sitting there looking up at it going, I'm going to go hide in this cave and I'll be all right.

1234
00:55:55,820 --> 00:55:56,940
Protect me from the lamb.

1235
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,880
That little lamb's about to come down here and have words with you.

1236
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:05,640
The lamb, you know, of course, it's a characteristic of who he is.

1237
00:56:06,020 --> 00:56:10,400
I mean, he's meek and lowly in Matthew 11, 28 and 29.

1238
00:56:10,900 --> 00:56:13,480
He's a friend to the children in Mark 10, 14.

1239
00:56:13,980 --> 00:56:17,320
He's washed the disciples' feet in the book of John.

1240
00:56:17,580 --> 00:56:21,200
He reached out to the poor and to the sick and to the lame.

1241
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,100
This is these characteristics.

1242
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:23,780
He's gentle.

1243
00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:24,420
He's loving.

1244
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:25,820
He cares about you.

1245
00:56:25,900 --> 00:56:26,380
He's humble.

1246
00:56:26,730 --> 00:56:35,140
But also, just like Tyler's describing right here, we've got to understand why this thing's coming apart and why it's unfolding, because he holds it all.

1247
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:35,840
That's right.

1248
00:56:38,180 --> 00:56:41,300
The power of God is holding this whole universe together.

1249
00:56:41,610 --> 00:56:47,680
The stars in the sky, the sun, everything is in its place because he holds it there.

1250
00:56:47,910 --> 00:56:52,440
And when he lets go of it, when he tells it he's not holding it anymore, it falls.

1251
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:53,500
And here's the thing.

1252
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,040
John 1 tells us he is the word.

1253
00:56:57,180 --> 00:57:07,480
When God said, let there be, that was Jesus Christ moving in the universe and making all the things happen and holding it together and pulling it together and forming it bit by bit.

1254
00:57:07,700 --> 00:57:11,460
And when he came last time, he basically just dipped his finger.

1255
00:57:11,860 --> 00:57:12,960
He held back.

1256
00:57:13,140 --> 00:57:14,380
He became man.

1257
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,680
He all that power was still there.

1258
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,540
When he comes this time, all that power is coming with him.

1259
00:57:20,820 --> 00:57:28,260
The universe, the world, the very atoms that make up all of this stuff can't help but react to that.

1260
00:57:28,380 --> 00:57:28,540
Yeah.

1261
00:57:28,570 --> 00:57:29,120
And who is this?

1262
00:57:29,380 --> 00:57:29,820
The lamb.

1263
00:57:30,150 --> 00:57:34,780
It says in Colossians 1, he's the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

1264
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,360
By him, all things were created, both the heavens and on earth, physical and invisible,

1265
00:57:39,550 --> 00:57:41,740
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.

1266
00:57:42,260 --> 00:57:44,880
All things have been created through him and for him.

1267
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,260
He is before all things and in him, all things hold together.

1268
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:48,600
Amen.

1269
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:49,920
This is the lamb.

1270
00:57:50,260 --> 00:57:50,880
Yes, it is.

1271
00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:52,700
The precious lamb of God.

1272
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,660
Yeah, and we'd like to look at him as a hippie.

1273
00:57:54,770 --> 00:57:58,400
He walked around 2,000 years ago and said some cool things and died on the cross.

1274
00:57:58,510 --> 00:57:59,460
We've never heard from him again.

1275
00:57:59,979 --> 00:58:00,700
He's alive.

1276
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:01,380
He's on the throne.

1277
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:02,300
He's the creator.

1278
00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:04,040
He holds all things in his hand.

1279
00:58:04,180 --> 00:58:04,420
Amen.

1280
00:58:04,940 --> 00:58:08,760
And he's still got the same characteristics of the lamb to us, right, to his people.

1281
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:09,260
Absolutely.

1282
00:58:09,860 --> 00:58:14,820
But to the rest of the world and those who don't accept him, he's judge and he's jury.

1283
00:58:14,980 --> 00:58:15,160
Yeah.

1284
00:58:15,300 --> 00:58:16,420
And he's the executioner.

1285
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:17,080
That's right.

1286
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:24,360
So you got to get that last one in because he doesn't he doesn't expect he didn't create somebody else to muddy their hands and get themselves.

1287
00:58:24,740 --> 00:58:26,120
He said, I'm going to be judge.

1288
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:26,840
I'm going to be jury.

1289
00:58:27,300 --> 00:58:30,780
And I will personally do the execution.

1290
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:32,040
It's not like judges today.

1291
00:58:32,780 --> 00:58:33,560
Judges here today.

1292
00:58:33,870 --> 00:58:34,820
They make a decision.

1293
00:58:34,980 --> 00:58:36,020
The jury makes a decision.

1294
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,440
And at the end of the day, their hands are clean because they don't pull the trigger.

1295
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:40,520
They never see him again.

1296
00:58:40,700 --> 00:58:40,780
Right.

1297
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:41,080
Right.

1298
00:58:41,380 --> 00:58:41,440
Yeah.

1299
00:58:41,780 --> 00:58:43,860
Jesus says, I'm going to make the call.

1300
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,160
I'm going to declare you guilty, and I'm pulling the trigger.

1301
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:55,020
In fact, when we see this almost exact opposite of what this first white horse that we see

1302
00:58:55,110 --> 00:58:59,680
with the Antichrist coming in and trying to cause havoc and trying to wreak havoc,

1303
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:05,000
and he will wreak havoc to a certain point, but when Jesus comes back,

1304
00:59:05,530 --> 00:59:08,140
we're coming back with him, and this is the great thing about it.

1305
00:59:08,380 --> 00:59:10,760
We're in white ropes when we come back, okay?

1306
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,860
And yes, we're clothed in the righteousness of God.

1307
00:59:15,180 --> 00:59:16,160
But think about this.

1308
00:59:16,940 --> 00:59:19,620
If we're dressed in white, we're not dressed for war, okay?

1309
00:59:19,820 --> 00:59:20,860
He is.

1310
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:21,340
He is.

1311
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:21,980
He is.

1312
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,660
I mean, he's got a name written on his side.

1313
00:59:24,780 --> 00:59:26,440
He's got a sword in his hand.

1314
00:59:26,740 --> 00:59:32,060
He's riding back on this white horse, and he's coming with vengeance.

1315
00:59:32,620 --> 00:59:36,940
And he's going to proclaim his vengeance on this world.

1316
00:59:37,020 --> 00:59:38,320
His robe is dipped in blood.

1317
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:39,820
Dipped in blood, yes.

1318
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:41,400
And it's stripped out of his mouth.

1319
00:59:41,460 --> 00:59:44,480
There's always stuff going on, blood up to the horses,

1320
00:59:44,859 --> 00:59:46,580
we're just as clean as we can be.

1321
00:59:46,620 --> 00:59:46,700
Yeah.

1322
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:48,500
It's covered in his righteousness.

1323
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,260
And we've got a church out there that wants to say,

1324
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:51,800
oh, this is kind, gentle Jesus.

1325
00:59:52,380 --> 00:59:52,960
Everything like that.

1326
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,280
Go read the Old Testament.

1327
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:54,660
Yeah.

1328
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:55,660
That's the same God.

1329
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:56,120
Yeah.

1330
00:59:56,260 --> 00:59:57,380
He claimed to be Yahweh.

1331
00:59:57,660 --> 00:59:59,660
He claimed to be the I Am of the burning bush.

1332
00:59:59,780 --> 01:00:00,020
Right.

1333
01:00:00,420 --> 01:00:00,460
Yeah.

1334
01:00:00,620 --> 01:00:02,740
All the stuff throughout the Old Testament is Jesus.

1335
01:00:03,140 --> 01:00:03,260
Yeah.

1336
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:03,700
Yeah.

1337
01:00:05,839 --> 01:00:08,680
And then you've got these churches out there that don't want to talk about his blood.

1338
01:00:09,180 --> 01:00:09,280
Right.

1339
01:00:09,460 --> 01:00:09,560
Right.

1340
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:10,880
The blood of Jesus.

1341
01:00:11,740 --> 01:00:13,820
That gave us the remission of sins.

1342
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:15,420
And oh, my gosh.

1343
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,000
I mean, that's that's who he is.

1344
01:00:17,140 --> 01:00:17,940
That's what covered us.

1345
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:18,940
That's what saved us.

1346
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:19,340
Yeah.

1347
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:29,320
You know, I've always felt or in the last few years as I've watched this movement of the hippie and that which is all it's been around for years.

1348
01:00:29,740 --> 01:00:33,620
But it's just gotten so more and more and more prevalent of the little baby Jesus.

1349
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:34,360
I like to think.

1350
01:00:34,580 --> 01:00:35,160
I mean, yeah.

1351
01:00:35,300 --> 01:00:36,020
You know, yeah.

1352
01:00:36,380 --> 01:00:38,260
OK, well, Ricky, Ricky Bobby was funny.

1353
01:00:38,700 --> 01:00:41,120
But that statement in that movie absolutely made me mad.

1354
01:00:41,260 --> 01:00:42,600
I mean, it's blasphemous.

1355
01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:45,420
Yeah, it's sort of saying, I like to think about the little baby Jesus.

1356
01:00:45,530 --> 01:00:46,780
I don't like to think about him on the cross.

1357
01:00:46,980 --> 01:00:48,520
Why don't you like to think about him on the cross?

1358
01:00:48,700 --> 01:00:49,860
That's what gets you to heaven.

1359
01:00:50,860 --> 01:00:51,940
There's no remission of sin.

1360
01:00:52,210 --> 01:00:55,860
But I always look at this, and when I read this, I'm like, God wrote this for now.

1361
01:00:56,500 --> 01:00:58,560
They're looking at him, and they're seeing this land.

1362
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:03,020
They're seeing there's that peaceful, loving, kind, generous.

1363
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:04,260
He looks mad.

1364
01:01:05,540 --> 01:01:09,400
People don't want to think about the depth of what it costs to save a life.

1365
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:16,300
You think about World War I, World War II, and Vietnam,

1366
01:01:16,510 --> 01:01:19,740
and all these different wars that we've taken place in through the years.

1367
01:01:20,020 --> 01:01:20,900
You think about that.

1368
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:24,620
What we want to see, what we want to see, I mean, let's just be honest.

1369
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:30,479
What we want to see is the soldiers coming in and their uniforms

1370
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:35,360
with their dress blues on and saluting and waving the American flag

1371
01:01:35,510 --> 01:01:37,000
and singing God Bless America.

1372
01:01:37,580 --> 01:01:38,760
And we want to see all that.

1373
01:01:38,860 --> 01:01:44,040
We want to think about that awesome thing that it is,

1374
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:45,720
that we have freedom because of them.

1375
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:50,780
But what we don't want to think about is 16-, 17-, 18-year-old kids

1376
01:01:51,020 --> 01:02:00,300
dying in Hiroshima, or not Hiroshima, but on the distant shores

1377
01:02:00,900 --> 01:02:06,798
and all these different places in France and Germany and Japan and Russia,

1378
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:11,580
all these places that they've died and given their lives and been destroyed

1379
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:13,420
and crying out for mama.

1380
01:02:13,830 --> 01:02:18,220
I mean, you know, there's sick things that happen, but it is necessary.

1381
01:02:19,580 --> 01:02:27,820
And Jesus knew that if there was going to be a payment for sin and if we were going to be made free, that somebody had to pay the price for it.

1382
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:29,960
There had to be a life that was laid down.

1383
01:02:30,050 --> 01:02:37,860
There had to be a soldier, brave and true, that would step up to the plate, that would go before everybody and that would win the war for good.

1384
01:02:38,010 --> 01:02:42,720
Right. This thing wouldn't keep going on and on and on and on and on.

1385
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:52,800
But on the shores of Galilee, on this rugged cross on this hill, this Jesus died for our sins.

1386
01:02:52,830 --> 01:02:54,060
And it was nasty.

1387
01:02:54,210 --> 01:02:55,140
And it was horrid.

1388
01:02:55,660 --> 01:02:57,900
And he was unrecognizable.

1389
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,060
And people don't want to think about that.

1390
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,120
That's what it took to pay the price for your sins and my sins.

1391
01:03:04,380 --> 01:03:05,740
That was the perfect justice.

1392
01:03:06,300 --> 01:03:07,280
The perfect justice.

1393
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:12,760
I will glory in the cross, least his suffering be in vain.

1394
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:17,880
No truer words have ever been spoken by a little girl from Kentucky.

1395
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:19,260
Nobody.

1396
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:24,220
And she said, oh, man, without the cross, without the cross, you don't have anything.

1397
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:25,380
We're nothing.

1398
01:03:25,700 --> 01:03:26,140
That's right.

1399
01:03:26,430 --> 01:03:26,560
Amen.

1400
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:35,380
And I just think this sixth seal, it's the first one, the first one where God does something directly.

1401
01:03:35,980 --> 01:03:36,140
Yeah.

1402
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:40,520
Without another agent, like a horseman or something.

1403
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:40,820
Yes.

1404
01:03:41,050 --> 01:03:41,200
Yeah.

1405
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:41,540
Right.

1406
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,100
And he does it right after the martyrs.

1407
01:03:44,900 --> 01:03:45,240
That's right.

1408
01:03:45,380 --> 01:03:45,500
Yeah.

1409
01:03:45,700 --> 01:03:46,900
That's my people.

1410
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:47,360
That's it.

1411
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:48,720
That's the people I died for.

1412
01:03:48,820 --> 01:03:49,160
That's it.

1413
01:03:49,260 --> 01:03:50,420
You're not going to do that to them.

1414
01:03:50,500 --> 01:03:50,700
No.

1415
01:03:51,420 --> 01:03:54,780
He sends out the first four seals.

1416
01:03:54,980 --> 01:03:57,300
He's going, okay, go do, go do, go do, go do.

1417
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:58,340
Opens five.

1418
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:04,180
Oh, this is the list of everybody that was murdered because they said that I am God.

1419
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,120
This is the list of everybody who got hunted down and tortured and treated horribly.

1420
01:04:09,380 --> 01:04:11,800
And he's looking at everything that was done to them.

1421
01:04:12,350 --> 01:04:15,500
And he's looking at everything, every law that was passed.

1422
01:04:17,140 --> 01:04:20,200
He's looking at every country that said, we want you dead.

1423
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:29,940
He's looking at every person that said, we want to bring that into every country, into the world and slaughter the Christians and the Jews and his children and his people.

1424
01:04:30,380 --> 01:04:33,360
And he's looking at the names and he's looking at every single one.

1425
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:34,180
And he goes, you know what?

1426
01:04:35,100 --> 01:04:35,540
I'm done.

1427
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,080
And seal number six, I mean, at that point, the book's open.

1428
01:04:40,740 --> 01:04:41,580
It's the last one.

1429
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:42,600
It's open.

1430
01:04:42,980 --> 01:04:43,760
Seal team six.

1431
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:45,340
Ain't nothing to seal six.

1432
01:04:45,380 --> 01:04:46,660
We've got another seal.

1433
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:47,100
Yeah.

1434
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:48,140
Oh, yeah, that's right.

1435
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:49,200
There's seven seals on there.

1436
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,320
And then inside that seal are some trumpets.

1437
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,100
And then inside that trumpet is some bowls.

1438
01:04:53,260 --> 01:04:53,640
That's it.

1439
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,560
And it's going to get ugly.

1440
01:04:55,580 --> 01:04:56,020
It is.

1441
01:04:56,090 --> 01:04:56,500
It is.

1442
01:04:56,550 --> 01:04:58,700
Yeah, we're just getting started, folks.

1443
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,000
Just getting into it.

1444
01:05:00,750 --> 01:05:02,380
And know this, man, this is scary.

1445
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:03,620
This is scary stuff.

1446
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:12,200
But understand that if you are born again, if you've trusted in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, he took your sins with him on the cross and you are righteous.

1447
01:05:12,500 --> 01:05:12,720
Amen.

1448
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,460
You have been declared righteous by the God of the universe and you're one of his.

1449
01:05:16,980 --> 01:05:19,040
And you're one of the reasons he's mad at the rest of the world.

1450
01:05:19,140 --> 01:05:19,460
Amen.

1451
01:05:19,700 --> 01:05:22,460
So take comfort in that and that you won't be here for this.

1452
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:22,740
Yeah.

1453
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:23,500
You won't be here.

1454
01:05:23,780 --> 01:05:36,520
And the amazing thing is, even right when this wrath starts pouring out and when all of this is unraveling and we see at the beginning of the next chapter, he stops anything from happening here just yet.

1455
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:36,980
Yeah.

1456
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:38,960
He puts it on hold.

1457
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:39,680
Why?

1458
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,580
For that same mercy we were just talking about, because he's going to take care of his.

1459
01:05:43,820 --> 01:05:44,020
Yeah.

1460
01:05:44,380 --> 01:05:46,560
He's going to make sure his get their mark.

1461
01:05:46,860 --> 01:05:47,040
Yeah.

1462
01:05:47,380 --> 01:05:47,600
Amen.

1463
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,600
And he stops it before it finally goes, okay, I'm done.

1464
01:05:51,900 --> 01:05:52,080
Yeah.

1465
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:52,420
Yeah.

1466
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,180
I mean, but you're, yeah.

1467
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:56,060
Yeah.

1468
01:05:56,860 --> 01:05:57,380
Good stuff.

1469
01:05:57,540 --> 01:06:00,000
Bad stuff, but good stuff to know.

1470
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:00,680
Yeah.

1471
01:06:01,900 --> 01:06:04,400
Well, next week, we'll pick straight up.

1472
01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:10,220
First time, we're actually going directly into the first one of a chapter of two chapters

1473
01:06:11,050 --> 01:06:11,840
after where we started.

1474
01:06:13,700 --> 01:06:18,840
Well, we've gotten through with a lot of the background building, and at this point, we're

1475
01:06:18,940 --> 01:06:19,660
into the meat of it.

1476
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:26,760
So I think we're going to be able to until we get there's one little spot a little further down where we might end up having to go back and hit some other things.

1477
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:33,040
But I think we can get this hitting hot and fast because a lot of people have never heard this.

1478
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:34,660
And guys, goodness.

1479
01:06:35,260 --> 01:06:35,360
Yeah.

1480
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:36,380
Know what's coming.

1481
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,040
We're not telling you to scare you.

1482
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:46,080
We're telling you because we want you to know because we're supposed to know because there is a blessing for those of us that read and ingest this and understand it and take the time to realize it.

1483
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:50,360
And at the end of the day, it is God begging us to listen.

1484
01:06:50,620 --> 01:06:51,680
This is the urgent thing.

1485
01:06:52,020 --> 01:06:52,320
It is.

1486
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:53,580
Yeah, it is.

1487
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,380
We need to be talking about that.

1488
01:06:56,999 --> 01:07:03,780
This should set our souls on fire to go out and to share Christ with everyone that we meet.

1489
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:04,160
Yeah.

1490
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:05,960
And folks, this is right around the corner.

1491
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:06,600
Yeah.

1492
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:07,700
It's right around the corner.

1493
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:08,500
It's so close.

1494
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:09,160
Yeah.

1495
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,380
I don't like thinking about how close it is.

1496
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:11,800
It's so close.

1497
01:07:12,140 --> 01:07:13,420
I mean, it's uncomfortable.

1498
01:07:14,060 --> 01:07:14,940
And it should be.

1499
01:07:15,300 --> 01:07:15,940
It should be.

1500
01:07:16,180 --> 01:07:24,300
If you're reading this with us and you're going through this with us and you go, I feel bad that I haven't told somebody how to avoid this.

1501
01:07:25,420 --> 01:07:27,420
Yes, that's why we have this.

1502
01:07:28,020 --> 01:07:33,620
It's to get our attention and remind us this is what fighting for the souls of man looks like.

1503
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:38,120
Like you said, we like to think about the soldiers coming back and they look good and we're done.

1504
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,880
But we don't like to think about what it took to get them there.

1505
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,700
And we don't like to think about what it took to win.

1506
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,560
This is what it takes to win.

1507
01:07:47,020 --> 01:07:47,720
God knew that.

1508
01:07:47,910 --> 01:07:51,520
He didn't want us to go through this, and we chose to do it anyway.

1509
01:07:51,820 --> 01:07:52,160
That's right.

1510
01:07:53,480 --> 01:08:00,260
Adam and Eve chose it, and we've continued choosing it as a whole, as a race since the beginning.

1511
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,940
We just keep going back, and we keep choosing it.

1512
01:08:03,140 --> 01:08:04,940
I mean, we can choose not to do any of this.

1513
01:08:05,060 --> 01:08:06,440
I mean, that's the amazing thing.

1514
01:08:06,510 --> 01:08:07,000
Christ tells us.

1515
01:08:07,010 --> 01:08:10,440
He's like, yeah, the sin nature is in you, and I've provided you a way out.

1516
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:11,840
Choose me.

1517
01:08:12,580 --> 01:08:13,520
So you get spared.

1518
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,760
But then I'm also providing you a way out.

1519
01:08:15,830 --> 01:08:17,339
You don't have to keep going back and sinning.

1520
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:17,779
Yeah.

1521
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,180
It's like Paul describing the rapture.

1522
01:08:20,569 --> 01:08:23,060
He said, therefore, comfort one another with these words.

1523
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:23,359
That's right.

1524
01:08:23,460 --> 01:08:23,700
Yes.

1525
01:08:24,089 --> 01:08:33,420
And there's a big reason for that because, you know, only the – you may not think you're evil, but if you're not his, you are considered evil.

1526
01:08:33,660 --> 01:08:36,920
You're either – Jesus broke it down in John chapter 3.

1527
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,299
You're either with him or against him.

1528
01:08:38,380 --> 01:08:38,560
Yeah.

1529
01:08:39,020 --> 01:08:55,200
And guys, this rapture thing, one of the big things in this kingdom now religion that's trying to take hold is that we're not here to escape.

1530
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:56,380
That's what they keep saying.

1531
01:08:56,460 --> 01:08:57,480
We're not here to escape.

1532
01:08:58,259 --> 01:08:58,779
I am.

1533
01:08:59,279 --> 01:09:01,080
I don't want to be here during this.

1534
01:09:01,299 --> 01:09:07,520
If you read chapter six on, you don't want to be in the midst of this, right?

1535
01:09:07,900 --> 01:09:10,940
And there is an escape clause, and his name is Jesus,

1536
01:09:11,620 --> 01:09:16,540
and he saved our souls that we might go with him and be with him during this time.

1537
01:09:16,660 --> 01:09:18,420
He would save us from the wrath to come.

1538
01:09:18,580 --> 01:09:20,020
They said we're not destined for wrath.

1539
01:09:20,060 --> 01:09:20,319
That's right.

1540
01:09:20,420 --> 01:09:22,279
Paul said that right before he said comfort one another.

1541
01:09:22,380 --> 01:09:22,600
Amen.

1542
01:09:23,299 --> 01:09:23,400
Amen.

1543
01:09:24,319 --> 01:09:24,520
Amen.

1544
01:09:25,339 --> 01:09:25,839
All right.

1545
01:09:25,940 --> 01:09:27,299
Well, we will be back next week.

1546
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:29,040
Revelation 7-1.

1547
01:09:29,500 --> 01:09:32,940
Say it again because we'd like getting it in here twice so that we'll remember it.

1548
01:09:33,020 --> 01:09:37,040
Revelation 7-1 next week at 6 o'clock,

1549
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:38,940
and we really look forward to having everybody back.

1550
01:09:39,180 --> 01:09:41,720
And we're going to be praying, praying, praying for us,

1551
01:09:41,900 --> 01:09:45,339
praying that we can say what needs to be said about this stuff

1552
01:09:45,410 --> 01:09:46,240
because this is getting deep.

1553
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:50,759
This is getting in very, very harsh territory.

1554
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,799
And it's a lot of information to take in.

1555
01:09:54,020 --> 01:09:57,120
So be praying for us and we'll be praying for all of you.

1556
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:01,800
And hopefully, hopefully that if this does nothing else,

1557
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:03,800
it spurs somebody to go talk to a friend.

1558
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:04,480
Yeah.

1559
01:10:04,740 --> 01:10:07,060
And just let them know, hey, you can miss all this.

1560
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,280
Hey, Jesus is who he said he was.

1561
01:10:09,830 --> 01:10:10,500
And go witness.

1562
01:10:10,730 --> 01:10:11,300
Go tell people.

1563
01:10:11,460 --> 01:10:13,300
Because we want to get as many people with us.

1564
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,980
When we leave, we want as many people going with us as we can take with us.

1565
01:10:17,260 --> 01:10:20,220
Because we're not going to get so many that heaven can't hold them.

1566
01:10:20,440 --> 01:10:20,700
That's right.

1567
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:21,760
It's not going to happen.

1568
01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:22,140
Amen.

1569
01:10:22,620 --> 01:10:26,820
So we will look forward to going deeper into this next week.

1570
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,740
And, yeah, I think that's it.

1571
01:10:30,770 --> 01:10:32,920
So, Brother Brian, if you will pray to dismiss us.

1572
01:10:33,060 --> 01:10:33,260
Sure.

1573
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:35,100
Father

1574
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:38,380
guide our lips

1575
01:10:39,380 --> 01:10:39,940
and our voices

1576
01:10:41,440 --> 01:10:43,100
let us stay quiet

1577
01:10:43,180 --> 01:10:45,100
when we need to stay quiet and let us speak

1578
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:46,580
when we need to speak

1579
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,100
let us say the things that

1580
01:10:49,480 --> 01:10:50,860
uplift you and glorify you

1581
01:10:51,060 --> 01:10:52,580
and make a difference in

1582
01:10:53,180 --> 01:10:53,440
eternity

1583
01:10:54,700 --> 01:10:56,920
God and let us not think as much about the things

1584
01:10:57,140 --> 01:10:58,560
that are trivial

1585
01:10:58,660 --> 01:11:01,080
the things that don't last

1586
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:03,260
God let our minds and our hearts

1587
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:04,800
beyond that that is eternal.

1588
01:11:05,940 --> 01:11:10,220
God, give us a heart for and a burden for a lost and dying world.

1589
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:17,240
God, let us as a church move forward as the body doing our part

1590
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:23,000
to reach every single soul that we possibly can with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

1591
01:11:23,980 --> 01:11:25,520
And Lord, we love you.

1592
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,200
God, and I'm so glad that you reign.

1593
01:11:29,180 --> 01:11:31,320
You are King of kings and you are Lord of lords.

1594
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:35,140
And we praise you and you alone because you and you alone deserve our praise.

1595
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:39,540
Thank you, Lord, for another day to speak the name of Jesus.

1596
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:40,660
Amen.
