20 00:01:50,216 --> 00:01:51,650 It does. 21 00:01:51,716 --> 00:01:53,566 Intentionally or unintentionally. 22 00:01:53,633 --> 00:01:54,583 It drounds everything else out. 23 00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:56,750 Oh, how about you, brother Brian? 24 00:01:56,816 --> 00:01:57,416 How's your week going? 25 00:01:57,483 --> 00:01:58,549 Good, brother, so far. 26 00:01:58,616 --> 00:02:01,783 Just wide open, you know, just with 27 00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:03,599 the tires right out of the gate this morning. 28 00:02:03,650 --> 00:02:05,566 Yeah, there's no grass growing under your car. 29 00:02:05,633 --> 00:02:06,766 Hey, best way to do it. 30 00:02:06,833 --> 00:02:08,333 Oh man. 31 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,333 Well, I am I am super excited about this week. 32 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,699 I've been these last few chapters are dense. 33 00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:17,199 They have a lot of stuff in them and I've been excited to get to it. 34 00:02:17,283 --> 00:02:20,400 If you live in Alabama, be praying. 35 00:02:20,449 --> 00:02:23,199 We've got our primaries coming up, the 19th. 36 00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:26,750 Um, so be praying a lot because there's everything 37 00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:27,816 is up this year. 38 00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:30,900 And for those of you in the state, 39 00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,433 make sure you make a very prayerful and thoughtful decision when you go to the polls. 40 00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:38,516 And there are 2 amendments that are actually going to be on the primary election. 41 00:02:38,583 --> 00:02:40,016 I hate it when they do that, but they did. 42 00:02:40,083 --> 00:02:43,500 Um, you know, really, really actually a good one. 43 00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:47,316 I would think, because if you get caught committing conspiracy 44 00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:51,233 to commit murder, they're allowed to deny you bail if this amendment passes. 45 00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:54,466 I didn't know you couldn't deny bail for somebody that 46 00:02:54,483 --> 00:02:58,383 tried to murder someone, but you up until now, you've been not allowed to do that. 47 00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:01,733 Um, and then the other one, though, I thought was kind of funny. 48 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,800 District attorneys, they're saying their their 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,349 pay cannot be lowered. 50 00:03:06,483 --> 00:03:08,516 for the 6 years that they're in office. 51 00:03:08,583 --> 00:03:11,633 So whatever they go in at, it doesn't matter how 52 00:03:11,633 --> 00:03:13,433 bad things get, they still get paid the same. 53 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:16,800 Uh, I, I, I, pray about that one. 54 00:03:16,849 --> 00:03:19,550 That's bold. 55 00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:20,983 That's kind of nerve-racking. 56 00:03:21,050 --> 00:03:24,166 I'm like, I mean, I get that you want good people in these positions, 57 00:03:24,166 --> 00:03:27,466 but every elected position at the end of the day is people 58 00:03:27,466 --> 00:03:30,883 that should be willing to give up something to serve and 59 00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:34,849 to enrich yourself at the cost of your community is not a good thing. 60 00:03:34,916 --> 00:03:36,233 Well, it doesn't happen, does it? 61 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:37,066 No, never. 62 00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:40,183 People 63 00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:41,933 leave Washington, DC, millionaires? 64 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,833 Not in this? 65 00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:43,483 Never. 66 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:46,666 That has never happened in the history of this country except the last, 67 00:03:46,683 --> 00:03:47,933 you know, 100 years. 68 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,866 And it is. 69 00:03:50,933 --> 00:03:51,400 It is. 70 00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:55,000 a really, really weird thing that they threw on the ballot this time. 71 00:03:55,083 --> 00:03:58,250 So, uh, pray about those 2 because like I say, the 1st one sounds pretty good. 72 00:03:58,316 --> 00:04:01,366 The 2nd one, I'm like, yeah, I'm a little leery on that one. 73 00:04:01,433 --> 00:04:04,666 But, uh, Revelation 19. 74 00:04:04,849 --> 00:04:08,016 Hey, they don't have to worry about money in 75 00:04:08,033 --> 00:04:09,650 this by the time you reach this. 76 00:04:09,716 --> 00:04:12,883 No, no, they the ones that are buying anything, they've 77 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:16,016 got their, um, they've got their mark to do that. 78 00:04:16,083 --> 00:04:19,083 Yeah. everybody else is starving to death. 79 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:21,533 Think it'll all be rationed or you think they'll just get whatever they want? 80 00:04:21,649 --> 00:04:24,816 Uh, no, I'm sure it'll probably still be ration. 81 00:04:24,899 --> 00:04:27,949 I think it'll be like a 82 00:04:27,949 --> 00:04:31,666 very, very, uh, terribly 83 00:04:31,683 --> 00:04:35,333 run communist, uh, regime, you know. 84 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:36,899 fighting over the dumpster for the day. 85 00:04:36,949 --> 00:04:37,483 Yeah. 86 00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:37,733 Yeah. 87 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,149 Yeah. 88 00:04:38,216 --> 00:04:41,383 Well, except for the guys at the top and just like the communist regime, 89 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:44,399 they're all sitting around in a nice golden table with their, 90 00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:48,116 all the food they could scrounce from everybody else and they just keep on trucking. 91 00:04:48,183 --> 00:04:49,250 Yeah, absolutely. 92 00:04:49,316 --> 00:04:52,433 Uh, and I mean, that's that's where things are at the end of Revelation 93 00:04:52,433 --> 00:04:54,833 uh, 18 and going into 19. 94 00:04:55,083 --> 00:04:58,983 Um, and what we had, uh, at 95 00:04:58,983 --> 00:05:02,633 the end of 18, and these are the the angels, um, 96 00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:05,983 Revelation 18, uh, and they're they're 97 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,716 shouting, they're making declarations as they go through here. 98 00:05:09,783 --> 00:05:12,783 And it's, you know, we make 99 00:05:12,783 --> 00:05:15,833 it through the 1st couple of them in chapter 18 and we're moving on 100 00:05:15,833 --> 00:05:21,233 to the, the, I think this is the last one or the last 2 Angels. 101 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:24,350 Oh, no, now we're we're to the voice of the voice 102 00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:27,350 from the vast throne that we're hearing around the throne. and we're 103 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:29,750 starting to we're starting to hear what comes next. 104 00:05:29,816 --> 00:05:31,733 So we've seen Babylon fall. 105 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,566 We've seen, we've seen things are just absolutely 106 00:05:35,583 --> 00:05:40,433 falling apart on the earth at this point in Revelation. 107 00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:43,199 And now we get to go back and take a look at what's going on in heaven. 108 00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:44,316 Yeah, these are the, 109 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,066 I mean this is where everything changes, right? 110 00:05:46,133 --> 00:05:49,300 I mean, this is the return of Christ, the marriage supper, the lamb, 111 00:05:49,316 --> 00:05:52,366 the Battle of Armageddon, and it all begins 112 00:05:52,383 --> 00:05:54,416 with great shouts of hallelujah. 113 00:05:54,483 --> 00:05:55,083 Amen. 114 00:05:55,133 --> 00:05:55,550 Yeah. 115 00:05:55,616 --> 00:05:58,366 And this is what all the Bible's leading to. 116 00:05:58,433 --> 00:05:59,033 right? 117 00:05:59,033 --> 00:05:59,500 That's right. 118 00:05:59,583 --> 00:06:00,949 This is a culmination of it all. 119 00:06:01,083 --> 00:06:02,699 And that's the thing. 120 00:06:02,750 --> 00:06:06,283 It is a, at the end of the day, it's, 121 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,449 you know, 66 books, I think. 122 00:06:08,516 --> 00:06:09,949 I got my number right. 123 00:06:10,016 --> 00:06:11,633 But they're all the same story. 124 00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:13,666 that God is in charge. 125 00:06:13,733 --> 00:06:16,783 Christ is his son and he created all this and it's his. 126 00:06:16,850 --> 00:06:19,899 And the Holy Spirit is just 127 00:06:19,916 --> 00:06:23,333 the is the thing that communicates between us and God right now. 128 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:26,633 And that's what it's all leading to. 129 00:06:26,699 --> 00:06:30,533 And that gets that gets lost, I think, a lot on a lot of a lot of people. 130 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,133 They, uh, they want to get in the weeds sometimes, 131 00:06:34,133 --> 00:06:35,933 uh, Yeah, we all do, don't we? 132 00:06:35,933 --> 00:06:38,566 about some of these stories and yeah. 133 00:06:38,633 --> 00:06:42,350 getting the weeds a bit too much where you forget that, no, ultimately, 134 00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:43,366 God's in control. 135 00:06:43,433 --> 00:06:46,183 That's every single, it doesn't matter which story you're going to. 136 00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:47,616 They're all about God being in control. 137 00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:50,699 I mean, you see it when you go back to the Old Testament with the 138 00:06:50,699 --> 00:06:53,750 Hebrews, the Israelites as they're coming out of Egypt 139 00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:57,216 and before that, even getting called when Abraham 140 00:06:57,233 --> 00:07:00,283 gets called and, you know, taking his son and putting him on 141 00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:03,600 the altar and thinking he's about to sacrifice him and then God sends an name. 142 00:07:03,649 --> 00:07:06,050 Ultimately, it's about God's redemption, poor man. 143 00:07:06,116 --> 00:07:08,266 Yeah, and like Revelation and Daniel. 144 00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:11,566 Any kind of prophecy is just screaming, God is sovereign. 145 00:07:11,633 --> 00:07:12,050 It is. 146 00:07:12,050 --> 00:07:13,183 That's what it is. 147 00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:13,966 That's what it's about. 148 00:07:14,033 --> 00:07:15,283 I got this. 149 00:07:15,416 --> 00:07:20,383 And this is not the revelation of tribulation. 150 00:07:20,449 --> 00:07:23,750 This is not the revelation of the mark of the beast. 151 00:07:23,816 --> 00:07:28,133 This is not the revelation of even these bowls 152 00:07:28,133 --> 00:07:29,800 and things that are poured out. 153 00:07:29,933 --> 00:07:32,149 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ. 154 00:07:32,216 --> 00:07:33,883 This is what it's all about. 155 00:07:33,949 --> 00:07:35,616 This is what it comes to. 156 00:07:35,699 --> 00:07:38,699 And there, as you've heard before, there is a 157 00:07:38,699 --> 00:07:42,000 crimson thread that's running all the way through these scriptures 158 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,616 tying it all together. 159 00:07:43,683 --> 00:07:47,333 Yeah, and this is him taking his rightful place and because he's worthy. 160 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:48,350 He is, isn't he? 161 00:07:48,416 --> 00:07:50,449 The lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. 162 00:07:50,583 --> 00:07:51,716 Wow. 163 00:07:51,783 --> 00:07:52,500 Praise his name. 164 00:07:52,550 --> 00:07:53,016 Amen. 165 00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:53,866 Praise his name. 166 00:07:53,933 --> 00:07:55,733 Let's dive into it. 167 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,916 And after these things, I heard a 168 00:07:58,916 --> 00:08:02,933 great voice of much people in heaven saying, hallelujah, 169 00:08:02,933 --> 00:08:06,949 salvation, and glory, and honor, and power unto the Lord our God. 170 00:08:07,016 --> 00:08:10,183 This is the, this is the big 171 00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:11,449 metatata. 172 00:08:11,516 --> 00:08:14,566 It's the it's the after which is 173 00:08:14,583 --> 00:08:15,833 after these things, right? 174 00:08:15,899 --> 00:08:18,949 After the troubles and trials of the 175 00:08:18,949 --> 00:08:22,116 great tribulation comes this, this, this wonderful 176 00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:25,250 uh, ending that that we get to 177 00:08:25,250 --> 00:08:28,600 hear something, something that we've not heard since 178 00:08:28,616 --> 00:08:31,966 the Old Testament, we get to hear the sound of 179 00:08:31,983 --> 00:08:34,433 the shout of hallelujah, right? 180 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,733 from the heaven, from the heavens, the saints 181 00:08:37,733 --> 00:08:41,149 of God, will join with the great tribulation 182 00:08:41,149 --> 00:08:44,266 saints, and they'll shout out 183 00:08:44,283 --> 00:08:46,799 hallelujah of the coming of the king. 184 00:08:46,850 --> 00:08:51,350 And the word hallelujah hasn't been mentioned since 185 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:52,783 the Old Testament. 186 00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:55,899 And now we're going to see it occur 4 187 00:08:55,916 --> 00:09:00,233 different times in the 1st 6 verses of chapter 19. 188 00:09:00,416 --> 00:09:02,516 Now you think about, that's significant, isn't it? 189 00:09:02,583 --> 00:09:06,649 You don't hear it from the Old Testament all the way to Revelation 9 team. 190 00:09:06,716 --> 00:09:07,916 We're almost at the end of the book. 191 00:09:07,916 --> 00:09:11,750 And then 6 times in these 192 00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:15,466 1st in these 1st several verses here. 193 00:09:15,533 --> 00:09:17,866 We hear this word hallelujah. 194 00:09:17,933 --> 00:09:20,033 In these 1st 6 verses, we'll hear it 4 times. 195 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:23,333 It makes Romans 196 00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:26,033 8, 18 come alive right here. 197 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:29,149 for I reckon that the sufferings of 198 00:09:29,149 --> 00:09:32,383 this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which 199 00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,750 shall be revealed in us, for the earnest expectation 200 00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:39,166 of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 201 00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:42,350 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not 202 00:09:42,350 --> 00:09:46,966 willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. 203 00:09:47,033 --> 00:09:50,083 Because the creature himself also shall be 204 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:53,216 delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty 205 00:09:53,216 --> 00:09:54,283 of the children of God. 206 00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:57,883 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth 207 00:09:57,899 --> 00:09:59,450 in pain together until now. 208 00:09:59,516 --> 00:10:02,866 And not only they, but ourselves also, 209 00:10:02,883 --> 00:10:06,183 which have the 1st fruits of the Spirit, 210 00:10:06,183 --> 00:10:09,233 even we ourselves grown within ourselves, 211 00:10:09,233 --> 00:10:12,649 waiting for the adoption to whit the redemption of our body. 212 00:10:12,716

for you. 216 00:10:17,633 --> 00:10:18,233 Amen. 217 00:10:18,299 --> 00:10:19,966 I love that word hallelujah too. 218 00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:22,666 It's it literally has no translation. 219

really means praise ye, yah. 222 00:10:30,716 --> 00:10:31,133 Yeah. 223 00:10:31,133 --> 00:10:31,549 Yeah. 224 00:10:31,616 --> 00:10:32,149 Yahweh. 225 00:10:32,216 --> 00:10:32,750 Yahweh. 226

230 00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:38,616 It has no translation. 231 00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,333 It's an agreement with Yahweh, right? 232 00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,133 It's coming into agreeance with his word. 233 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,616 Yeah. 234 00:10:43,683 --> 00:10:44,750 Amen. 235 00:10:44,816 --> 00:10:45,716 a powerful word. 236 00:10:45,783 --> 00:10:47,216 Eternal word. 237

00:10:59,866 It says, because his judgments are true and righteous, 245 00:10:59,883 --> 00:11:03,000 for he has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth 246 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,049 with her immorality, and he has avenged the blood of 247 00:11:06,049 --> 00:11:07,299 his bond servants on her. 248 00:11:07,383 --> 00:11:10,733 And a 2nd time, they said, hallelujah, her 249 00:11:10,733 --> 00:11:13,000 smoke rises up forever and ever. 250 00:11:13,083 --> 00:11:15,116 Man. 251 00:11:15,183 --> 00:11:16,733 And that smoke... 252 00:11:16,733 --> 00:11:17,933 Rising up forever and ever. 253 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,166 That's that's that's the eternal punishment 254 00:11:21,183 --> 00:11:23,816 of the people that were part of that, right? 255 00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:24,583 That's right. 256 00:11:24,649 --> 00:11:24,950 Yeah. 257 00:11:25,016 --> 00:11:25,433 Yeah. 258 00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:29,266 I mean, we can't see it. 259 00:11:29,333 --> 00:11:30,649 as God sees it right now. 260 00:11:30,783 --> 00:11:33,783 You know, we don't have that perspective, 261 00:11:33,783 --> 00:11:36,783 but those that are in heaven at this time, which will include 262 00:11:36,783 --> 00:11:39,833 all of us that are saved. 263 00:11:39,899 --> 00:11:43,016 We'll know and understand his ways 264 00:11:43,016 --> 00:11:46,483 and we'll be able to say without a shadow of a doubt that 265 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:48,899 his judgments are true and righteous. 266 00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:49,500 Amen. 267 00:11:49,549 --> 00:11:50,450 We really will. 268 00:11:50,516 --> 00:11:52,133 We'll understand that then. 269 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,850 We look at a lot of stuff now which, I don't understand why that's happening. 270 00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:57,466 I understand what's going on here. 271 00:11:57,533 --> 00:11:59,266 Why would God do this, you know? 272 00:11:59,333 --> 00:12:01,433 And even sometimes it's hard. 273 00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,500 They're hard answers for a lost 274 00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:05,566 person to hear, right? 275 00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:07,850 And they're hard for us to convey sometimes. 276 00:12:08,283 --> 00:12:11,283 Yeah, and even a lot of times I think a 277 00:12:11,283 --> 00:12:14,333 lot of Christians get too far down the road of compassion and give 278 00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:16,366 everybody the benefit of the doubt and things like that. 279 00:12:16,433 --> 00:12:17,983 Well, God sees the heart. 280 00:12:18,049 --> 00:12:18,583 That's right 281 00:12:18,716 --> 00:12:21,233 He don't just, he looks at what your motives are. 282 00:12:21,299 --> 00:12:23,816 I mean, everything's laid bare in front of him. 283 00:12:23,883 --> 00:12:24,533 That's right. 284 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:24,950 That's right. 285 00:12:25,083 --> 00:12:28,083 And they're shouting hallelujah. 286 00:12:28,133 --> 00:12:28,483 Why? 287 00:12:28,549 --> 00:12:32,016 Because the apostate church has been removed from the pitcher. 288 00:12:32,816 --> 00:12:35,866 And that's going to bring on the marriage supper, the lamb that 289 00:12:35,883 --> 00:12:37,133 we'll get to in just a little bit. 290 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,733 But right worthwhile, 291 00:12:40,733 --> 00:12:42,833 this tribulation is going on. 292 00:12:42,899 --> 00:12:46,016 And we see God himself avenges their 293 00:12:46,016 --> 00:12:47,266 blood, right? 294 00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:48,833 He avenges their blood. 295 00:12:48,899 --> 00:12:52,016 All these angels, not another creature that he's 296 00:12:52,016 --> 00:12:54,350 made to do this, but himself. 297 00:12:54,416 --> 00:12:55,783 And that's the way it's supposed to be. 298 00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:57,883 It's not up to us to repay wrong. 299 00:12:58,250 --> 00:13:02,200 Whatever's 300 00:13:02,216 --> 00:13:04,183 been done to us, he says, I'll avenge you. 301 00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:05,866 I'll take care of you. 302 00:13:05,933 --> 00:13:07,666 It's the job of our God. 303 00:13:07,733 --> 00:13:10,483 Romans 12, 19 tells us that, right? 304 00:13:10,616 --> 00:13:11,566 Avenge not yourselves. 305 00:13:11,633 --> 00:13:14,683 give place to wrath. 306 00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:16,850 So it's his vengeance, you know, the Lord. 307 00:13:16,916 --> 00:13:20,033 One of the things there in that that section, you 308 00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:23,500 know, that that whole piece, verse one and 2 there could 309 00:13:23,516 --> 00:13:26,566 just be easily just one single verse because it's 310 00:13:26,583 --> 00:13:27,649 what they are shouting. 311 00:13:27,716 --> 00:13:31,483 They're shouting that whole phrase, for he has judged the 312 00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:34,549 great prostitute, and the amazing thing about Judge, 313 00:13:34,616 --> 00:13:36,716 some translations say punished. 314 00:13:36,783 --> 00:13:40,250 Uh, but specifically the judgment is the vindication 315 00:13:40,250 --> 00:13:44,266 of the innocent as well as the punishment for the, 316 00:13:44,283 --> 00:13:47,283 the, the wrongdoer, uh, or punishment of the guilty. 317 00:13:47,333 --> 00:13:48,950 And that's exactly what this is. 318 00:13:49,016 --> 00:13:50,149 This is vindication. 319 00:13:50,216 --> 00:13:53,216 This is absolutely removing 320 00:13:53,216 --> 00:13:56,383 the blame from those that are blameless and placing 321 00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:59,866 it squarely where it belongs on the people that made the decisions they made on 322 00:13:59,883 --> 00:14:01,616 Satan for making the decision that he made. 323 00:14:01,683 --> 00:14:03,483 And that's what God is doing here. 324 00:14:03,533 --> 00:14:08,333 And that's the picture that we're given when we're given this imagery of judgment here. 325 00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,533 It's very clear. 326 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,016 Yeah, I got to go back to again, to Daniel chapter nine. 327 00:14:13,083 --> 00:14:14,149 We were just looking at this Sunday. 328 00:14:14,149 --> 00:14:17,149 And this is wrapping this whole thing up, 329 00:14:17,149 --> 00:14:20,266 just like you predicted in Daniel 9, 24, 70 330 00:14:20,283 --> 00:14:23,283 weeks have been decreed for your people in your holy city to 331 00:14:23,283 --> 00:14:26,750 finish the transgression to make an end of sin, 332 00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:30,100 to make atonement for iniquity, bring an everlasting righteousness, 333 00:14:30,116 --> 00:14:33,350 to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. 334 00:14:33,416 --> 00:14:34,016 Amen. 335 00:14:34,083 --> 00:14:35,149 all coming together. 336 00:14:35,216 --> 00:14:36,466 all coming together right here. 337 00:14:36,533 --> 00:14:37,433 Yeah, yeah. 338 00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:38,100 Absolutely. 339 00:14:38,149 --> 00:14:39,816 That's wonderful. 340 00:14:39,950 --> 00:14:41,383 Praise the Lord. 341 00:14:41,450 --> 00:14:45,166 I read something that's kind of kind of neat about this section, including 342 00:14:45,183 --> 00:14:48,899 the next few verses, but there's like 3 343 00:14:48,899 --> 00:14:51,116 sets of hallelujahs in this, right? 344 00:14:51,183 --> 00:14:54,183 And this 1st set, this 1st set, I guess it was 345 00:14:54,183 --> 00:14:57,533 Wahlberg was saying that he thinks it's the 346 00:14:57,533 --> 00:14:58,850 martyred saints. 347 00:14:58,916 --> 00:15:02,683 Yeah. you know, back in, was it Revelation 6 that 348 00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,033 they're under the altar and say, how long, oh, Lord? 349 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:08,933 And then there's another section where the 24 elders will get to that. 350 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,133 And then another section. 351 00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:14,266 I don't know if it means anything, but everybody in heaven is doing this. 352 00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:17,983 Everybody at some point is going to be shouting hallelujah, right? 353 00:15:18,049 --> 00:15:20,016 Can you imagine the sound coming out of that? 354 00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:20,866 Yeah. 355 00:15:20,933 --> 00:15:21,649 Oh, man. 356 00:15:21,716 --> 00:15:22,066 Oh, wow. 357 00:15:22,083 --> 00:15:25,433 I mean, this is this isn't just a few 1000 people. 358 00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:28,666 This is 1000000s and 1000000000s of people. 359 00:15:28,733 --> 00:15:32,033 Really interesting in verse one is that in the Greek? 360 00:15:32,100 --> 00:15:33,466 It reads like this. 361 00:15:33,533 --> 00:15:36,166 If you just read it like literal pop, pop, pop. 362 00:15:36,233 --> 00:15:39,533 It says after these things, I heard something like a voice loud 363 00:15:39,533 --> 00:15:41,383 of a multitude great in heaven. 364 00:15:41,450 --> 00:15:42,350 Yeah, yeah. 365 00:15:42,416 --> 00:15:44,633 Yeah, something like a voice. 366 00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:45,049 Amen. 367 00:15:45,049 --> 00:15:45,399 Amen. 368 00:15:45,483 --> 00:15:47,883 It's... couldn't take it. 369 00:15:47,933 --> 00:15:49,600 It didn't sound like a one person thing. 370 00:15:49,683 --> 00:15:52,733 There's just no way we can even 371 00:15:52,733 --> 00:15:54,166 imagine what it's going to be like. 372 00:15:54,233 --> 00:15:58,966 You know, having an entire crowd actually chant 373 00:15:58,983 --> 00:16:02,883 or say the same thing is not something we see very often anymore. 374 00:16:02,933 --> 00:16:06,533 I mean, even in big crowds when they're when they're chanting slogans stuff. 375 00:16:07,083 --> 00:16:08,283 only a few people that do that. 376 00:16:08,333 --> 00:16:09,649 You don't have the whole crowd. 377 00:16:09,716 --> 00:16:12,766 This is the entirety of heaven at 378 00:16:12,783 --> 00:16:14,516 the same time saying the same words. 379 00:16:14,583 --> 00:16:17,399 The sound that comes from that is it's a prey. 380 00:16:17,450 --> 00:16:19,783 I mean, it's a physical pressure that you could feel. 381 00:16:19,850 --> 00:16:23,149 I mean, you're feeling that rumble and that noise coming out of heaven. 382 00:16:23,216 --> 00:16:26,216 That's why I try to tell people about the choir, like at church. 383 00:16:26,283 --> 00:16:29,583 The more people that we got in the choir, the better it sounds. 384 00:16:29,633 --> 00:16:33,233 It doesn't mean that everybody has to, you know, you can blend in. 385 00:16:33,299 --> 00:16:33,766 You know? 386 00:16:33,833 --> 00:16:35,500 I mean, we've

we got good enough singers like Dennis and other 391 00:16:40,616 --> 00:16:42,716 people to carry us. 392 00:16:42,783 --> 00:16:45,899 But I mean, but the more people, the more people that you 393 00:16:45,899 --> 00:16:48,649 have in that choir, I tell them, I'll say, yo, why don't you come? 394 00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:49,616 you come join the club? 395 00:16:49,733 --> 00:16:51,100 I'm not

but get up there and blend in with this. 398 00:16:57,049 --> 00:17:00,100 Be a part of it because the more people that are up there, the 399 00:17:00,116 --> 00:17:03,116 man, the more, because, and this is 400 00:17:03,116 --> 00:17:06,116 the other thing too, because I think we stand up there in the choir and we think we're 401 00:17:06,116 --> 00:17:07,916 singing to everyone out there. 402 00:17:07,983 --> 00:17:09,483 We're not singing to you. 403 00:17:09,533 --> 00:17:12,283 I'm not close my eyes or look at my book or look up. 404 00:17:12,349 --> 00:17:13,483 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 405 00:17:13,549 --> 00:17:16,250 It's an audience of one, right? 406 00:17:16,316 --> 00:17:17,516 That's who we're singing to. 407 00:17:17,583 --> 00:17:18,650 We're singing to Jesus. 408 00:17:18,650 --> 00:17:22,716 And that's what these, that's what these saints and these, 409 00:17:22,733 --> 00:17:26,200 these, the 4 and 20 elders, that's what the, 410 00:17:26,216 --> 00:17:29,450 the, the, the, the ones that were uh, 411 00:17:29,450 --> 00:17:32,616 that were killed during the, during the Great Tribulation, they're 412 00:17:32,633 --> 00:17:35,633 all going to be singing or shouting out this, 413 00:17:35,633 --> 00:17:39,583 this hallelujah, right together and, and it's going to be... 414 00:17:39,650 --> 00:17:41,866 I think we'll all sound like Michael George at that point. 415 00:17:41,933 --> 00:17:43,250 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 416 00:17:43,316 --> 00:17:43,616 Oh, yeah? 417 00:17:43,683 --> 00:17:46,549 Have that, have a boasterous voice. 418 00:17:46,616 --> 00:17:47,816 Yeah, just yeah. 419 00:17:47,883 --> 00:17:51,233 Oh, another interesting thing about that loud voice in verse one. 420 00:17:51,299 --> 00:17:54,416 I'm sorry, I'm backtracking bad, but that Greek word is 421 00:17:54,416 --> 00:17:57,416 phone, and it can mean voice, 422 00:17:57,416 --> 00:18:00,766 sound, voices, sounds, utterance, 423 00:18:00,783 --> 00:18:03,349 blasts, cry. 424 00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:04,733 Blast. 425 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:05,516 Wow. 426 00:18:05,583 --> 00:18:07,083 Yeah. 427 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,366 I think I think the whole world will hear it. 428 00:18:10,433 --> 00:18:11,150 Oh yeah. 429 00:18:11,216 --> 00:18:11,750 You know? 430 00:18:11,816 --> 00:18:14,750 And you think about this. 431 00:18:14,816 --> 00:18:15,650 You think about this. 432 00:18:15,716 --> 00:18:18,766 We can go back to the Old Testament and we see places 433 00:18:18,783 --> 00:18:21,950 where God defeated great 434 00:18:21,950 --> 00:18:26,383 armies for Israel by sound. 435 00:18:26,450 --> 00:18:27,466 you know? 436 00:18:27,533 --> 00:18:30,466 So there's a war about to take place, man. 437 00:18:30,533 --> 00:18:33,533 They are going to be shaking in their boots before Christ even 438 00:18:33,533 --> 00:18:34,666 comes on the scene. 439 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:36,650 It's like a spiritual sound too. 440 00:18:36,716 --> 00:18:38,216 Not just in your ears. 441 00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:41,583 Yeah, because I think about think about the rapture when he says, come up here. 442 00:18:41,633 --> 00:18:44,266 come up here and you're in the middle of a factory. 443 00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:46,066 You can't hear yourself think. 444 00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:47,216 You're going to hear it. 445 00:18:47,283 --> 00:18:48,716 Yeah, yeah, because you're hearing it. 446 00:18:48,783 --> 00:18:49,500 You're hearing it. 447 00:18:49,549 --> 00:18:50,566 You're hearing it all over you. 448 00:18:50,633 --> 00:18:51,049 Probably. 449 00:18:51,349 --> 00:18:52,483 I mean, every part of you here. 450 00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:53,450 Yeah, amen. 451 00:18:53,516 --> 00:18:55,250 That's awesome stuff. 452 00:18:55,316 --> 00:18:56,266 It is good stuff. 453 00:18:56,333 --> 00:18:58,549 Amen. 454 00:18:58,616 --> 00:18:59,816 Verse four. 455 00:18:59,883 --> 00:19:03,000 And the 4 and 20 elders and the 4 456 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,299 beasts fell down and worshiped God that sat 457 00:19:06,299 --> 00:19:08,033 on the throne saying, amen. 458 00:19:08,099 --> 00:19:09,233 Hallelujah. 459 00:19:09,299 --> 00:19:12,299 A couple of things about the 4 460 00:19:12,299 --> 00:19:15,599 and 20 elders, and we talked a little bit about this before, but there's 461 00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:18,716 2 schools of thoughts here, and I don't think you're going to be on a bad side of either 462 00:19:18,716 --> 00:19:20,450 one, no matter where you're at, but... 463 00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:21,516 So you're not going to go to hell. 464 00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:23,216 Right, right. 465 00:19:23,283 --> 00:19:23,633 Yeah, yeah. 466 00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:24,349 Okay, good. 467 00:19:24,416 --> 00:19:24,650 Good. 468 00:19:24,716 --> 00:19:25,366 Yeah, you're good. 469 00:19:25,433 --> 00:19:28,483 But, you know, there's the 470 00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:31,549 school of thought that the 4 and 20 elders only represent 471 00:19:31,549 --> 00:19:33,950 the New Testament saints and that could be. 472 00:19:34,016 --> 00:19:37,133 And then there's also the school of thought that 473 00:19:37,133 --> 00:19:40,433 they would represent 12 474 00:19:40,433 --> 00:19:43,599 of them, the 4 and 20 elders, 12 475 00:19:43,616 --> 00:19:46,733 of them would represent the descendants 476 00:19:46,733 --> 00:19:49,849 of the 12 tribes of Israel, you know, one 477 00:19:49,849 --> 00:19:52,250 from each, so the Old Testament saints. 478 00:19:52,316 --> 00:19:55,849 And then the other 12 would represent the original 12 disciples 479 00:19:55,849 --> 00:19:59,200 who brought us into the church age 480 00:19:59,216 --> 00:20:01,250 and established the church. 481 00:20:01,316 --> 00:20:04,316 And so it could be the 12 and 12 that brings together. 482 00:20:04,433 --> 00:20:05,333 Hard to know, isn't it? 483 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,116 It is, yeah. 484 00:20:06,183 --> 00:20:09,299 You skip out later and into 485 00:20:09,299 --> 00:20:12,466 Revelation and you see the new Jerusalem and it's got foundation like 486 00:20:12,483 --> 00:20:15,833 12 specific gates and 12 foundations. 487 00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:16,616 Yeah, yeah. 488 00:20:16,683 --> 00:20:18,783 built on the apostles and built on the elders. 489 00:20:18,833 --> 00:20:19,066 Yeah. 490 00:20:19,133 --> 00:20:19,433 Yeah. 491 00:20:19,433 --> 00:20:19,900 Yeah. 492 00:20:19,983 --> 00:20:20,883 I don't know. 493 00:20:20,933 --> 00:20:21,833 And it kind of neat too. 494 00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:25,316 When you see the 24 elders, you I 495 00:20:25,316 --> 00:20:27,716 hadn't I hadn't looked into this, correct me if I'm wrong. 496 00:20:27,783 --> 00:20:31,250 But it seems like every time you see the 24 elders, you see the 4 living creatures too. 497 00:20:31,316 --> 00:20:32,033 Yeah, yeah. 498 00:20:32,099 --> 00:20:32,400 Yeah. 499 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:32,633 Yeah. 500 00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:33,533 You're right, yeah. 501 00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:34,250 Why is that? 502 00:20:34,316 --> 00:20:34,916 I don't know. 503 00:20:34,983 --> 00:20:35,633 I don't know. 504 00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:37,133 I haven't really studied into that myself. 505 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:37,666 Yeah. 506 00:20:37,733 --> 00:20:40,783 It's almost like for some reason they are wherever 507 00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:43,133 wherever they're located right around this throne. 508 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,150 They're together. 509 00:20:44,216 --> 00:20:45,833 because they're always at the throne, you know? 510 00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,099 that may be what it is. 511 00:20:47,150 --> 00:20:48,583 Yeah, they're not. 512 00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:49,066 not leaving. 513 00:20:49,133 --> 00:20:49,599 not leaving. 514 00:20:49,733 --> 00:20:53,033 And I think it's an indication of where we're going to be, too, right? 515 00:20:53,099 --> 00:20:57,000 And be like, you know, I want to get as close to the throne as I can do, you know? 516 00:20:57,049 --> 00:20:59,150 I used to worry about that sometimes, man. 517 00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:02,566 You just got, you know, you think of a shepherd right in the middle, that's Jesus, and the 518 00:21:02,583 --> 00:21:03,716 sheep are all gather around. 519 00:21:03,783 --> 00:21:05,150 I can't get closer to them. 520 00:21:05,216 --> 00:21:05,933 out of my way. 521 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:06,533 Right. 522 00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:07,200 Yeah, yeah. 523 00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:09,583 Yeah, yeah. 524 00:21:09,650 --> 00:21:10,900 It's not quite like it. 525 00:21:10,983 --> 00:21:11,450 It's not. 526 00:21:11,516 --> 00:21:12,883 He's still omnipresent, isn't he? 527 00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:15,583 Yeah, I mean, everybody's going to be able to be close to him. 528 00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:17,866 everybody's going to be able to have an intimate relationship with him. 529 00:21:17,933 --> 00:21:21,349 But, you know, and then we got the word, 530 00:21:21,349 --> 00:21:25,066 uh, the word here, uh, when 531 00:21:25,083 --> 00:21:28,250 we think about the church, um, and it's not, 532 00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:31,250 it's not uh, exactly in this, in 533 00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:34,299 this here, but uh, if we, if we, if we look at 534 00:21:34,316 --> 00:21:37,783 this rep, we know that the church is represented in those, 535 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:40,849 somewhere in those 24 anyway, however you want to look at it. 536 00:21:40,983 --> 00:21:42,900 And church just simply means what? 537 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:44,150 It's the called out one. 538 00:21:44,216 --> 00:21:45,883 That's what that word church means. 539 00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:47,083 It's the called out ones. 540 00:21:47,150 --> 00:21:50,150 That's what we are now, but after we leave 541 00:21:50,150 --> 00:21:52,783 this world, we're going to be the bride of Christ. 542 00:21:52,849 --> 00:21:54,650 Yeah, that's coming up, ain't it? 543 00:21:54,716 --> 00:21:55,316 Yes, yes. 544 00:21:55,383 --> 00:21:56,516 Yeah,

00:22:02,933 --> 00:22:04,483 Yeah, I skip one of my notes. 549 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:04,900 Okay. 550 00:22:04,983 --> 00:22:09,000 And a voice came from the throne saying, give praise to our God. 551 00:22:09,049 --> 00:22:12,516 Oh, you his bond servants, you who fear him, the small and the great. 552 00:22:12,650 --> 00:22:15,883 Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, 553 00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,950 and like the sound of many waters, and like the 554 00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:22,116 sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, hallelujah, 555 00:22:22,133 -->

that she should 625 00:24:34,616 --> 00:24:37,666 be arrayed and fine linen, clean and white for the fine 626 00:24:37,683 --> 00:24:40,250 linen is the righteousness of the saints. 627 00:24:40,316 --> 00:24:43,366 So now we come 628 00:24:43,383 --> 00:24:44,933 to the marriage supper of the lamb. 629 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,599 It's a beautiful picture that 630 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:51,650 we have here for those who are called the church, 631 00:24:51,650 --> 00:24:54,650 the ecclesia, the called out ones, 632 00:24:54,650 --> 00:24:57,650 those who have been washed in his precious blood, 633 00:24:57,650 --> 00:25:00,650 those who have accepted him as savior and made him lord 634 00:25:00,650 --> 00:25:04,666 of their lives, those from Pentecost to the rapture of the church, right? 635 00:25:04,733 --> 00:25:06,883 That's what that's that's the bride. 636 00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:10,666 And we see this marriage relationship in Ephesians 637 00:25:10,683 --> 00:25:15,599 chapter 5, verse 25 through 27, 638 00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,716 it says husbands love your wives, even as Christ has also loved the 639 00:25:18,716 --> 00:25:21,766 church and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify 640 00:25:21,783 --> 00:25:25,016 and cleanse it with a washing of the water, the word, that 641 00:25:25,016 --> 00:25:28,133 he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having 642 00:25:28,133 --> 00:25:31,133 spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but it 643 00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:32,799 should be holy and without blemish. 644 00:25:32,883 --> 00:25:34,316 And then in John 14. 645 00:25:34,549 --> 00:25:37,116 It says, let not your heart be troubled. 646 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,099 You believe in God, believe also in me, and my father's house are many mansions. 647 00:25:41,099 --> 00:25:44,816 If it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. 648 00:25:44,883 --> 00:25:48,116 And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive 649 00:25:48,116 --> 00:25:51,233 you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also, and whether 650 00:25:51,233 --> 00:25:54,166 I go, you know, and the way, you know. 651 00:25:54,233 --> 00:25:57,233 So, This is a picture of 652 00:25:57,233 --> 00:25:59,033 what every godly marriage should be. 653 00:25:59,099 --> 00:26:01,733 It's a, it's a pattern for us. 654 00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:05,216 The privilege that we have as believers 655 00:26:05,216 --> 00:26:08,683 in Christ to take part in this in this marriage supper 656 00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,333 that's made for us, right? 657 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,166 I mean, for us and for him, just 658 00:26:15,183 --> 00:26:17,150 as our spouse is everything to us. 659 00:26:17,216 --> 00:26:20,266 We also find that the church is everything to Jesus. 660 00:26:20,333 --> 00:26:22,849 It's everything to him. 661 00:26:22,916 --> 00:26:25,916 And I know I wear this out and I use 662 00:26:25,916 --> 00:26:29,033 this, but going back to this analogy of the Jewish wedding. 663 00:26:29,099 --> 00:26:32,516 Uh, you know, it just, again, makes it, 664 00:26:32,516 --> 00:26:33,950 it makes it come alive again, right? 665 00:26:34,016 --> 00:26:37,133 He went to prepare a place for us, just like 666 00:26:37,133 --> 00:26:40,733 a Jewish husband or 667 00:26:40,733 --> 00:26:43,849 engaged man, betrothed to 668 00:26:43,849 --> 00:26:46,900 be with his wife, would go back to his father's house, and 669 00:26:46,916 --> 00:26:50,033 he would add on to his father's house and 670 00:26:50,033 --> 00:26:53,750 make a room for the family that 671 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:56,316 he was about to make with his new wife. 672 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,366 He would bring his new wife back home to that. 673 00:26:58,433 --> 00:27:01,599 And I'll spare you the whole the 674 00:27:01,616 --> 00:27:02,983 whole ideology of it. 675 00:27:03,049 --> 00:27:06,166 But I mean, it's just a wonderful picture because that's what he done. 676 00:27:06,233 --> 00:27:09,883 She was waiting on him, anticipating him to come back. 677 00:27:09,950 --> 00:27:11,200 She was excited about it. 678 00:27:11,283 --> 00:27:14,583 She was making herself prepared and ready and 679 00:27:14,583 --> 00:27:17,216 beautiful and that's what we're supposed to be there. 680 00:27:17,283 --> 00:27:20,400 We're supposed to be making ourselves ready and prepared for Jesus 681 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,633 to come back because he went to prepare a place for us and 682 00:27:23,633 --> 00:27:26,983 he said, I'll come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there, you may be also. 683 00:27:27,049 --> 00:27:28,183 Faithful servants, right? 684 00:27:28,250 --> 00:27:29,683 Yeah, the parable of the talents. 685 00:27:29,883 --> 00:27:31,016 We're growing in our faith. 686 00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:31,733 Yes, yes. 687 00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:34,433 Growing our faith, constantly growing and getting closer to him. 688 00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,616 And I wrote down some stuff here that a 689 00:27:37,616 --> 00:27:39,583 lot of these marriages were arranged while they were children. 690 00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:43,200 And, of course, the bridegroom comes and escorts her home, right? 691 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,750 After the place is prepared. 692 00:27:44,816 --> 00:27:45,416 Yeah. 693 00:27:45,416 --> 00:27:47,216 And then there was always a wedding feast. 694 00:27:47,283 --> 00:27:48,533 Yes, yes. 695 00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:49,250 Right here. 696 00:27:49,250 --> 00:27:50,083 That's where we are right here. 697 00:27:50,150 --> 00:27:50,566 Oh, man. 698 00:27:50,633 --> 00:27:50,983 Yeah. 699 00:27:51,049 --> 00:27:51,583 absolutely. 700 00:27:51,650 --> 00:27:52,483 That's awesome. 701 00:27:52,549 --> 00:27:53,150 Absolutely 702 00:27:53,283 --> 00:27:54,233 That's good stuff. 703 00:27:54,299 --> 00:27:58,066 And let me ask you this. 704 00:27:58,133 --> 00:28:01,366 You know, I know at one at one point in my life and still 705 00:28:01,383 --> 00:28:04,433 men don't like to 706 00:28:04,433 --> 00:28:05,633 think of themselves as a bride. 707 00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:07,066 Yeah, yeah. 708 00:28:07,133 --> 00:28:08,750 We need to get over that. 709 00:28:08,883 --> 00:28:09,349 We do. 710 00:28:09,416 --> 00:28:09,950 We do. 711 00:28:10,016 --> 00:28:10,483 We do. 712 00:28:10,549 --> 00:28:14,150 Because it sounds 713 00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:16,366 creepy when you think of it earthly terms. 714 00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:19,900 But in spiritual terms, it's the most beautiful thing that ever was. 715 00:28:19,983 --> 00:28:22,016 And it's completely spiritual. 716 00:28:22,083 --> 00:28:24,349 There's nothing sexual about it. 717 00:28:24,416 --> 00:28:27,950 There's, you know, when I say an intimate relationship with him, 718 00:28:28,016 --> 00:28:30,166 A lot of times people, that's where they go. 719 00:28:30,233 --> 00:28:31,666 You know, that's where we go. 720 00:28:31,733 --> 00:28:35,566 And that's what people need to realize about intimacy. 721 00:28:35,633 --> 00:28:36,833 I told somebody the other day. 722 00:28:36,900 --> 00:28:40,066 I said, I said, for a 723 00:28:40,083 --> 00:28:42,716 man to be intimate with his wife. 724 00:28:42,833 --> 00:28:44,750 It starts way before the bedroom. 725 00:28:44,816 --> 00:28:45,650 Absolutely. 726 00:28:45,716 --> 00:28:46,133 Right? 727 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,200 I mean, it's him loving her, caring 728 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,500 for her, uh, helping her with the dishes, 729 00:28:52,500 --> 00:28:55,549 uh, you know, uh, rubbing her back and not 730 00:28:55,549 --> 00:28:56,799 expecting anything from it. 731 00:28:56,883 --> 00:28:59,883 you know, doing those little things, planning those 732 00:28:59,883 --> 00:29:03,299 trips and all the all the all the extra stuff 733 00:29:03,299 --> 00:29:06,533 that you're supposed to do on a daily basis to 734 00:29:06,533 --> 00:29:09,700 let her know, let her continuing to tell her how beautiful 735 00:29:09,716 --> 00:29:13,549 she is, even though she knows you know that she's beautiful, 736 00:29:13,549 --> 00:29:17,316 but you still tell her and you still show her and all those things. 737 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,566 that, you know, those things are not sexual 738 00:29:20,583 --> 00:29:22,016 things, right? 739 00:29:22,083 --> 00:29:25,549 But they're part of the intimacy of that relationship. 740 00:29:25,616 --> 00:29:27,716 And it's just like us, right? 741 00:29:27,783 --> 00:29:29,216 I mean, it's just us with him. 742 00:29:29,283 --> 00:29:30,299 He loves us. 743 00:29:30,349 --> 00:29:31,250 He cares for us. 744 00:29:31,316 --> 00:29:34,316 He's sacrificed, and that's the other thing, being sacrificial. 745 00:29:34,383 --> 00:29:36,533 That's part of part of the intimacy of a marriage. 746 00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:39,716 And so we got to be, we got to be careful to do those things in 747 00:29:39,716 --> 00:29:43,133 our own marriage so that our marriage is, you know. 748 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,433 I mean, guys, let's just, 749 00:29:46,433 --> 00:29:49,666 I mean, let's just be blunt, you know, when we're young and 750 00:29:49,683 --> 00:29:52,133 we're married, we have a whole lot to learn. 751 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:52,849 We really do. 752 00:29:52,983 --> 00:29:55,133 You know, I mean, we have a whole lot to learn. 753 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,233 We don't want to do any of those things. 754 00:29:57,299 --> 00:29:58,916 We don't understand any of those things. 755 00:29:58,983 --> 00:30:02,033 We don't understand their needs, you know, so we're just like, 756 00:30:02,033 --> 00:30:05,383 you know, we want to come in every night and expect them to do what we want them to do. 757 00:30:05,450 --> 00:30:08,500 And that's what it is and that's intimacy to us. 758 00:30:08,583 --> 00:30:10,849 But that's not the heart of intimacy. 759 00:30:10,916 --> 00:30:14,033 Well, I mean, one of the most intimate things that you could possibly do 760 00:30:14,033 --> 00:30:15,283 with your wife is pray with her. 761 00:30:15,349 --> 00:30:15,950 Oh, man. 762 00:30:16,016 --> 00:30:16,783 And that's hard to do. 763 00:30:16,849 --> 00:30:17,683 It is. 764 00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:20,200 There's something wanting to block you from it. 765 00:30:20,283 --> 00:30:22,683 I think that's why it's so awkward. 766 00:30:22,733 --> 00:30:23,083 You know? 767 00:30:23,099 --> 00:30:24,116 It really is awkward. 768 00:30:24,183 --> 00:30:24,599 It is. 769 00:30:24,650 --> 00:30:25,116 It really is. 770 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,250 Now, once you start doing it, the more you do it, 771 00:30:28,250 --> 00:30:30,816 the better it is, but there is something awkward about it. 772 00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:32,933 Yeah, and are just opening up to her. 773 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,633 Yeah, a bunch of problems and feelings and stuff. 774 00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:37,433 And I know that ain't a manly thing, you know? 775 00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:41,450 But we have that wife there as a sounding board and she's got wisdom. 776 00:30:41,516 --> 00:30:43,250 Yeah, folks, who's got wisdom. 777 00:30:43,316 --> 00:30:44,266 Absolutely. 778 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,299 You need to listen to her. 779 00:30:45,416 --> 00:30:47,750 Yeah, yeah, don't just automatically ride her off. 780 00:30:47,816 --> 00:30:49,316 She's the half that makes us hope. 781 00:30:49,383 --> 00:30:49,683 Right? 782 00:30:49,733 --> 00:30:50,799 She really is. 783 00:30:50,883 --> 00:30:51,716 She really is. 784 00:30:51,783 --> 00:30:54,900 And so, um, But, you know, and 785 00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:58,849 in relation to Jesus, okay, you say, well, he doesn't need us, but he wants us. 786 00:30:58,916 --> 00:31:00,233 He wants us. 787 00:31:00,349 --> 00:31:03,766 You know, just like a husband wants a wife and a wife wants a husband. 788 00:31:03,833 --> 00:31:05,500 He wants us and he loves us. 789 00:31:05,583 --> 00:31:09,183 And so, yeah, this pitcher is a very intimate, 790 00:31:09,183 --> 00:31:12,183 uh, non-sexual, 791 00:31:12,183 --> 00:31:15,416 non, uh, you know, physical, physical 792 00:31:15,416 --> 00:31:19,183 thing, but it's so spiritual that, uh, it's 793 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,200 the, when you when you think about what 794 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,250 we feel when we're in church, during, you know, one 795 00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:28,366 of those really good services, or, you know, good song 796 00:31:28,383 --> 00:31:31,433 service where you just man just praising the Lord, and you just 797 00:31:31,433 --> 00:31:34,183 almost just feel like your feet's coming off the ground. 798 00:31:34,250 --> 00:31:38,450 That's that's part of that relationship, that intimacy. 799 00:31:38,516 --> 00:31:42,583 It's going to be like that times a billion. 800 00:31:42,650 --> 00:31:45,166 You know, can you imagine that? 801 00:31:45,233 --> 00:31:46,250 Yeah, absolutely. 802 00:31:46,316 --> 00:31:49,733 And I was going to say, that's that is why I truly 803 00:31:49,733 --> 00:31:52,849 believe that is why God created us the way that we are 804 00:31:52,849 --> 00:31:56,566 created, where we need our other half. 805 00:31:56,633 --> 00:31:57,883 We need each other. 806 00:31:57,950 --> 00:31:59,983 And there's a reason for that. 807 00:32:00,116 --> 00:32:03,283 And it's so that we can truly understand because 808 00:32:03,299 --> 00:32:05,099 no, he doesn't need us. 809 00:32:05,150 --> 00:32:08,566 But if we didn't need her and she didn't need us, would 810 00:32:08,583 --> 00:32:11,633 we ever have that same kind of connection and the answer is no, you wouldn't you 811 00:32:11,633 --> 00:32:14,633 wouldn't just be desiring to be with the other person if you didn't need them. 812 00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:15,650 And God knew that. 813 00:32:15,716 --> 00:32:19,250 God knew that and he created humans with that desire and 814 00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:22,549 that need, and the only way to fill it is to have that godly 815 00:32:22,549 --> 00:32:25,716 person that God has set aside for you, either either a 816 00:32:25,733 --> 00:32:29,033 husband or a wife, you know, one for man, one for women. 817 00:32:29,883 --> 00:32:31,016 Be clear about that. 818 00:32:31,083 --> 00:32:33,416 Not 2 husbands, not 2 wives. 819 00:32:33,483 --> 00:32:34,133 You get one each. 820 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,200 But God did that and set that 821 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,250 aside for a reason to give us that picture of 822 00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:43,783 our relationship with our actual relationship with Christ. 823 00:32:43,916 --> 00:32:44,383 It is. 824 00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:45,816 It's a pale reflection. 825 00:32:45,950 --> 00:32:46,599 Yeah. 826 00:32:46,616 --> 00:32:46,783 Yeah. 827 00:32:46,849 --> 00:32:47,500 Yeah, yeah. 828 00:32:47,583 --> 00:32:50,633 And I think something that men don't get right now is that we're already married to him. 829 00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:52,916 We have been baptized into him. 830 00:32:52,983 --> 00:32:53,750 That's right. 831 00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:54,049 Yes. 832 00:32:54,049 --> 00:32:55,849 We're part of him already. 833 00:32:55,916 --> 00:32:57,716 It's the feast that's coming up. 834 00:32:57,783 --> 00:32:58,916 Yes, that's right. 835 00:32:58,983 --> 00:32:59,633 It is. 836 00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:00,466 It is, yeah. 837 00:33:00,533 --> 00:33:03,650 And again, you know, we say, well, he don't 838 00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:07,183 he don't need us, but he wanted us and he desired 839 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,333 a relationship with us. 840 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,799 That's jealous for us too, right? 841 00:33:10,849 --> 00:33:11,750 He is, really. 842 00:33:11,816 --> 00:33:14,866 And from the very beginning, that's why Adam was created so 843 00:33:14,883 --> 00:33:17,816 that he could walk with God in the garden, right? 844 00:33:17,883 --> 00:33:20,033 So that he could have that relationship with them. 845 00:33:20,099 --> 00:33:23,216 So yeah, what a what a wonderful and 846 00:33:23,216 --> 00:33:25,433 and beautiful thing that that is. 847 00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:29,099 John 1723, 848 00:33:29,099 --> 00:33:32,700 uh, through 26 says, um, uh, 849 00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:33,950 says this. 850 00:33:34,016 --> 00:33:37,666 I in them, and thou in me, that 851 00:33:37,683 --> 00:33:41,150 they may be perfect in one and 852 00:33:41,150 --> 00:33:44,150 that the world may know that thou hast sent me and 853 00:33:44,150 --> 00:33:46,716 hast loved them, and thou hast loved me. 854 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:49,849 Father, I will, that they also, 855 00:33:49,849 --> 00:33:52,599 whom thou hast given me, talking about us. 856 00:33:52,683 --> 00:33:55,799 Be with them where I am, that 857 00:33:55,799 --> 00:33:58,799 they may behold my glory, which thou 858 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:01,966 hast given me, for thou lovest me before 859 00:34:01,983 --> 00:34:03,233 the foundation of the world. 860 00:34:03,299 --> 00:34:06,599 O righteous Father, the world hath 861 00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:09,650 not known thee, but I have known thee, and these 862 00:34:09,650 --> 00:34:12,699 have known that thou hast sent me, and I 863 00:34:12,716 --> 00:34:16,016 have declared unto them thy name, and will declare 864 00:34:16,016 --> 00:34:19,016 it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved 865 00:34:19,016 --> 00:34:22,250 me may be in them, and I in them. 866 00:34:22,383 --> 00:34:25,800 So what a beautiful picture that 867 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,300 we have here, right? 868 00:34:27,349 --> 00:34:30,466 I mean, it's a, it's this the love of Jesus 869 00:34:30,483 --> 00:34:33,533 Christ that he has given us, that he has placed in us 870 00:34:33,533 --> 00:34:36,766 and he's, he's talking, he's having this conversation with 871 00:34:36,783 --> 00:34:40,550 the father here and he's like, I'm going to show him my complete glory one day. 872 00:34:40,616 --> 00:34:43,666 You know, the glory that's been given to me. 873 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,349 They're going to get to be a part of that. 874 00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:46,550 They're going to get to see that. 875 00:34:46,616 --> 00:34:50,033 And then how are we dressed in fine linen? 876 00:34:50,099 --> 00:34:50,866 Fine linen. 877 00:34:50,933 --> 00:34:53,750 You know, I mean, the best of the best. 878 00:34:53,816 --> 00:34:55,966 His righteousness, whatever. 879 00:34:56,033 --> 00:34:56,750 Yeah, yeah. 880 00:34:56,816 --> 00:34:59,816 It's like the parable that Jesus told Matthew 22 about 881 00:34:59,816 --> 00:35:00,833 a wedding feast, right? 882 00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,949 And he invites his friends, none of them show up, so he goes out the 883 00:35:03,949 --> 00:35:06,166 highways and byways, all those people show up. 884 00:35:06,233 --> 00:35:08,633 A guy shows up without their wedding robe on. 885 00:35:08,699 --> 00:35:09,599 Yeah, yeah. 886 00:35:09,650 --> 00:35:11,083 Picked out, right? 887 00:35:11,216 --> 00:35:14,083 You not have God's righteousness. 888 00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:14,866 Amen. 889 00:35:14,933 --> 00:35:15,583 Amen. 890 00:35:15,650 --> 00:35:15,949 Amen. 891 00:35:16,083 --> 00:35:19,733 Philippians 39 says and be found in him, not 892 00:35:19,733 --> 00:35:22,000 having mine own righteousness, which is of the law. 893 00:35:22,083 --> 00:35:25,250 But that which is through the faith of Christ, the 894 00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:27,216 righteousness which is of the God by faith. 895 00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:27,900 Right. 896 00:35:27,949 --> 00:35:28,250 Yeah. 897 00:35:28,316 --> 00:35:31,783 Yeah, I thought Romans, 117 898 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,316 or so, the righteousness of God is revealed. 899 00:35:34,383 --> 00:35:34,849 Amen. 900 00:35:34,916 --> 00:35:35,383 Amen. 901 00:35:35,449 --> 00:35:36,466 not my righteousness. 902 00:35:36,533 --> 00:35:38,983 People have tried their own righteousness. 903 00:35:39,050 --> 00:35:40,666 They were a group called the Pharisees. 904 00:35:40,733 --> 00:35:42,050 Yeah, exactly. 905 00:35:42,116 --> 00:35:44,083 They didn't get along with Jesus too well, right? 906 00:35:44,150 --> 00:35:47,199 So it's by faith in him that we're 907 00:35:47,216 --> 00:35:48,233 clothed in his righteousness. 908 00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:48,949 That's right. 909 00:35:49,016 --> 00:35:50,516 That's right. 910 00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:51,349 Verse nine? 911 00:35:51,483 --> 00:35:52,800 Yeah, hit it. 912 00:35:52,849 --> 00:35:53,500 All right. 913 00:35:53,583 --> 00:35:54,949 Then he said to me, right. 914 00:35:55,016 --> 00:35:58,733 Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb. 915 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,666 And he said to me, these are the true words of God. 916 00:36:01,733 --> 00:36:04,000 Let me go ahead with this. 917 00:36:04,133 --> 00:36:04,366 Go ahead. 918 00:36:04,433 --> 00:36:06,466 Then I fell at his feet to worship him. 919 00:36:06,533 --> 00:36:08,500 But he said to me, do not do that. 920 00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:11,699 I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold 921 00:36:11,699 --> 00:36:13,016 the testimony of Jesus. 922 00:36:13,083 --> 00:36:16,133 Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is 923 00:36:16,133 --> 00:36:17,266 the spirit of prophecy. 924 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,916 Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb. 925 00:36:22,983 --> 00:36:25,983 Now, this group, this group is just 926 00:36:25,983 --> 00:36:27,300 the church age believers. 927 00:36:27,416 --> 00:36:27,716 right? 928 00:36:27,783 --> 00:36:28,383 Yeah, yeah. 929 00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:29,516 Right? 930 00:36:29,516 --> 00:36:31,183 It wouldn't it wouldn't make sense. 931 00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:36,099 I guess, chronologically, maybe that the 932 00:36:36,116 --> 00:36:39,233 martyrs from the tribulation were included in this because it 933 00:36:39,233 --> 00:36:40,433 ain't over yet, right? 934 00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:41,516 Right. 935 00:36:41,516 --> 00:36:42,116 Right. 936 00:36:42,183 --> 00:36:44,583 But I don't know that the ones... 937 00:36:44,583 --> 00:36:47,699 The ones who are already there in heaven, 938 00:36:47,699 --> 00:36:50,816 I don't know that they might be invited to this, 939 00:36:50,816 --> 00:36:55,366 you know, not as the bride, but as you would have a guest come. 940 00:36:55,433 --> 00:36:57,466 Well, they have a special honor too, right? 941 00:36:57,533 --> 00:36:58,366 They do, they do. 942 00:36:58,433 --> 00:36:59,083 Yeah, they do. 943 00:36:59,150 --> 00:37:02,683 But 944 00:37:02,699 --> 00:37:04,800 we know it takes place in heaven, right? 945 00:37:04,849 --> 00:37:08,266 And the 946 00:37:08,283 --> 00:37:11,400 marriage takes place in heaven, but the marriage supper 947 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,199 takes place on earth. 948 00:37:13,250 --> 00:37:16,366 So no one will be worshiped, but Christ 949 00:37:16,383 --> 00:37:17,400 himself. 950 00:37:17,449 --> 00:37:19,849 So I think I think we got to look at that too. 951 00:37:19,916 --> 00:37:22,966 Ephesians 219 says, now therefore, you are no 952 00:37:22,983 --> 00:37:26,033 more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints 953 00:37:26,033 --> 00:37:27,583 and other household of God. 954 00:37:27,650 --> 00:37:30,650 So look at this first. 955 00:37:30,716 --> 00:37:32,983 First, we had the marriage, which takes place in heaven. 956 00:37:33,050 --> 00:37:36,166 And then we have a marriage supper, which takes place on earth, at the return 957 00:37:36,183 --> 00:37:39,349 of Christ, that we will 958 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:41,916 look at we'll look at it in that moment. 959 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,166 So he's coming back to earth at this and that's 960 00:37:45,183 --> 00:37:48,300 where that marriage supper is taking place and we find that picture 961 00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:51,466 in in Matthew 25 in 962 00:37:51,483 --> 00:37:54,650 those 1st 13 verses in the story of those 10 virgins. 963 00:37:54,783 --> 00:37:55,500 Okay. 964 00:37:55,550 --> 00:37:56,566 So, yeah. 965 00:37:56,633 --> 00:37:57,400 All right. 966 00:37:57,483 --> 00:37:58,983 All right. 967 00:37:58,983 --> 00:38:01,016 That verse 10 is a trip to me. 968 00:38:01,083 --> 00:38:04,500 It's like, John's just overwhelmed, man. 969 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:06,766 Oh, man, I got to worship something here. 970 00:38:06,833 --> 00:38:07,366 Yeah, yeah. 971 00:38:07,433 --> 00:38:09,283 You're the one man. 972 00:38:09,349 --> 00:38:10,066 Yeah, yeah. 973 00:38:10,133 --> 00:38:11,333 No, don't do that. 974 00:38:11,449 --> 00:38:12,699 This is another 975 00:38:13,133 --> 00:38:13,849 this is another Christian. 976 00:38:13,916 --> 00:38:14,516 Yeah. 977 00:38:14,516 --> 00:38:15,116 Yeah. 978 00:38:15,183 --> 00:38:16,433 This is another Christian. 979 00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:19,316 This is he says, I hold the testimony of Jesus. 980 00:38:19,383 --> 00:38:20,150 I'm one of yours. 981 00:38:20,216 --> 00:38:21,583 Yeah, absolutely. 982 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:22,316 I'm just like you. 983 00:38:22,383 --> 00:38:25,500 And I've always wondered, man, is, you know, John's 984 00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:28,616 seeing what, way off in the future at some future place, 985 00:38:28,616 --> 00:38:30,650 and I wonder if he's trying to worship himself here. 986 00:38:30,716 --> 00:38:31,733 Yeah. 987 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,099 Seeing an image of himself walking up. 988 00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:35,983 Yeah, yeah. 989 00:38:36,050 --> 00:38:36,766 Oh, gosh. 990 00:38:36,783 --> 00:38:38,150 And chewing himself out. 991 00:38:38,216 --> 00:38:39,050 like, nah. 992 00:38:39,116 --> 00:38:40,783 I watched that. 993 00:38:40,916 --> 00:38:44,933 I listened to Glenn Beck podcast today on quantum travel. 994 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:45,599 Did y'all heard that? 995 00:38:45,650 --> 00:38:47,199 Yeah, I didn't watch that one yet. 996 00:38:47,283 --> 00:38:48,533 Yeah, yeah. 997 00:38:48,650 --> 00:38:51,650 It's not exactly what you think it is, but then again, he, 998 00:38:51,650 --> 00:38:52,900 he, anyway. 999 00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:54,766 But there's somewhere. 1000 00:38:54,783 --> 00:38:58,983 It gets a little out there in it, but... 1001 00:38:59,033 --> 00:39:00,099 Yeah, no, no. 1002 00:39:00,183 --> 00:39:00,900 Anyway. 1003 00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,416 No, it's, but I think it's interesting though. 1004 00:39:03,483 --> 00:39:06,949 He said, I'm a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. 1005 00:39:07,083 --> 00:39:08,699 So this ain't probably an angel, right? 1006 00:39:08,816 --> 00:39:09,533 Right, right. 1007 00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,766 The testimony of Jesus is he sacrificed himself for me. 1008 00:39:12,833 --> 00:39:14,033 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1009 00:39:14,099 --> 00:39:15,166 That's right 1010 00:39:15,349 --> 00:39:16,066 Amen. 1011 00:39:16,133 --> 00:39:19,550 Did 1012 00:39:19,550 --> 00:39:22,599 you, uh, the, the, the little picture that I, 1013 00:39:22,616 --> 00:39:26,150 that I shared today, the poster thing I made for the, for tonight's podcast? 1014 00:39:26,216 --> 00:39:29,449 you know, the, the, the, the, the marriage supper. 1015 00:39:29,583 --> 00:39:32,583 And I wanted to put something with that and him coming back in there, you 1016 00:39:32,583 --> 00:39:33,900 know, with the marriage supper thing. 1017 00:39:34,016 --> 00:39:36,166 And you see all the people seated there. 1018 00:39:36,233 --> 00:39:39,533 Can you imagine the saints of God just all, 1019 00:39:39,533 --> 00:39:42,699 God, it's everybody seated there. one bride. 1020 00:39:42,783 --> 00:39:43,500 What a beautiful thing. 1021 00:39:43,550 --> 00:39:44,383 It's going to be amazing. 1022 00:39:44,449 --> 00:39:45,099 be beautiful. 1023 00:39:45,183 --> 00:39:48,483 I will say as far as the person 1024 00:39:48,483 --> 00:39:51,483 that John's talking to here, it's 1025 00:39:51,483 --> 00:39:54,483 strange because when you read the King James translation, all it says is, and 1026 00:39:54,483 --> 00:39:56,633 he said, doesn't say who he is. 1027 00:39:56,699 --> 00:39:59,866 He's not capitalized, we can assume it's not Jesus talking 1028 00:39:59,883 --> 00:40:03,183 to him because Jesus wouldn't have stopped him from worshiping him, and 1029 00:40:03,183 --> 00:40:05,216 we're about to see Jesus show up on the scene in the next verse. 1030 00:40:05,283 --> 00:40:07,433 So it's not Christ. 1031 00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:10,849 It's this guide that's 1032 00:40:10,849 --> 00:40:12,650 been that's been dealing with John. 1033 00:40:12,716 --> 00:40:15,766 We assume, and so a lot of, a lot of, 1034 00:40:15,783 --> 00:40:18,599 uh, translations do use, do refer to it as an angel. 1035 00:40:18,650 --> 00:40:19,183 Yeah. 1036 00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:22,800 But nobody actually knows who John's talking to right here. 1037 00:40:22,849 --> 00:40:23,916 So I love the theory. 1038 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,900 It might be himself. 1039 00:40:24,949 --> 00:40:25,550 You don't know. 1040 00:40:25,616 --> 00:40:27,716 Yeah, it happens again later. 1041 00:40:27,783 --> 00:40:28,199 Yeah. 1042 00:40:28,199 --> 00:40:30,599 Joe's just overwhelmed, man. 1043 00:40:30,650 --> 00:40:31,900 He just keeps doing it. 1044 00:40:31,983 --> 00:40:32,883 He like, will you stop that? 1045 00:40:32,933 --> 00:40:33,650 can't stand up. 1046 00:40:33,783 --> 00:40:38,033 Good stuff. 1047 00:40:38,099 --> 00:40:39,116 Good stuff. 1048 00:40:43,683 --> 00:40:44,400 Yeah, man. 1049 00:40:44,449 --> 00:40:45,099 Here it is. 1050 00:40:45,183 --> 00:40:49,733 You ready? 1051 00:40:49,733 --> 00:40:50,566 Am I ready? 1052 00:40:50,633 --> 00:40:54,650 Sorry, I'm... you done, you done, redhead. 1053 00:40:54,716 --> 00:40:56,083 And I saw heaven. 1054 00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:58,066 I was looking I was looking back at something there. 1055 00:40:58,133 --> 00:40:58,849 I had my mind. 1056 00:40:58,916 --> 00:41:02,216 And I saw heaven open and behold, a white horse and 1057 00:41:02,216 --> 00:41:05,816 he that sat on him was called faithful and true and 1058 00:41:05,816 --> 00:41:09,050 righteousness, he doth judge and make war. 1059 00:41:09,116 --> 00:41:12,233 His eyes were a flame of fire, and on his head were many 1060 00:41:12,233 --> 00:41:15,466 crowns, and he had a name written that no man 1061 00:41:15,483 --> 00:41:19,316 knew, but he himself. 1062 00:41:19,383 --> 00:41:22,550 So this 1063 00:41:22,550 --> 00:41:26,199 is the time that we've been building up to, the time when Jesus 1064 00:41:26,216 --> 00:41:29,816 Christ himself comes back to rule the world, right? 1065 00:41:29,883 --> 00:41:32,933 Now, some have 1066 00:41:32,933 --> 00:41:36,533 the view that he'll come back and the 1067 00:41:36,533 --> 00:41:39,833 good will be here and the bad will be here and 1068 00:41:39,833 --> 00:41:43,000 he's going to separate us from them, but I'm telling you, 1069 00:41:43,016 --> 00:41:45,349 my friend, if you are saved. 1070 00:41:45,416 --> 00:41:46,666 You're already in heaven. 1071 00:41:46,733 --> 00:41:49,250 You're already with him at this point in time. 1072 00:41:49,316 --> 00:41:50,983 And you should know that by now. 1073 00:41:51,050 --> 00:41:52,250 The church is already gone. 1074 00:41:52,250 --> 00:41:55,366 And if you're left here on this earth 1075 00:41:55,383 --> 00:41:58,083 as an unbeliever, you're in trouble. 1076 00:41:58,133 --> 00:41:58,666 Your time's done. 1077 00:41:58,733 --> 00:41:59,500 Your goat. 1078 00:41:59,516 --> 00:41:59,866 Yeah. 1079 00:41:59,933 --> 00:42:00,699 Yes, that's it. 1080 00:42:00,783 --> 00:42:02,699 You're goat, strictly a goat, you're gone. 1081 00:42:02,750 --> 00:42:05,800 And we need to also know that 1082 00:42:05,816 --> 00:42:07,616 he's not coming back as a babe in the mangers. 1083 00:42:07,683 --> 00:42:08,099 That's right. 1084 00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:08,983 right. 1085 00:42:09,050 --> 00:42:10,183 People think that. 1086 00:42:10,250 --> 00:42:11,983 Oh, yeah, he's a movie. 1087 00:42:12,050 --> 00:42:14,016 Or he's going to come back on a little donkey again. 1088 00:42:14,099 --> 00:42:14,816 Yeah, no. 1089 00:42:14,816 --> 00:42:17,333 No, and that's a war horse. 1090 00:42:17,449 --> 00:42:17,800 It is. 1091 00:42:17,883 --> 00:42:18,233 It is. 1092 00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:19,366 It's a white horse. 1093 00:42:19,433 --> 00:42:21,949 And it represents a warrior, like you said. 1094 00:42:22,016 --> 00:42:25,133 Now, he came to Jerusalem for 1095 00:42:25,133 --> 00:42:28,250 that triumphant entry on a donkey, and that donkey does 1096 00:42:28,250 --> 00:42:31,300 represent a king, but it's 1097 00:42:31,316 --> 00:42:32,683 represented in times of peace. 1098 00:42:32,750 --> 00:42:33,650 Yeah. 1099 00:42:33,716 --> 00:42:36,416 He's not coming back in peace this time. 1100 00:42:36,483 --> 00:42:39,949 He's coming back to judge the nations. 1101 00:42:40,016 --> 00:42:41,383 He's coming back to make war. 1102 00:42:41,449 --> 00:42:44,449 He's the dictator and 1103 00:42:44,449 --> 00:42:46,783 nothing will be done without him, right? 1104 00:42:46,849 --> 00:42:50,016 A name that no man knew. 1105 00:42:50,099 --> 00:42:53,266 I want to look at 4 names that he that he's 1106 00:42:53,283 --> 00:42:56,333 given here that correspond with the gospels. 1107 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,066 King of Kings. 1108 00:42:58,133 --> 00:43:01,483 Matthew presents him as king in his gospel. 1109 00:43:01,616 --> 00:43:04,783 Faithful and true, Mark represents him as 1110 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,500 a servant of God in his gospel. 1111 00:43:07,550 --> 00:43:08,866 Word of God. 1112 00:43:08,933 --> 00:43:10,966 We talked about this a little bit yesterday. 1113 00:43:11,033 --> 00:43:14,500 John says that in the beginning was the word, 1114 00:43:14,516 --> 00:43:17,816 the memory, the logos, 1115 00:43:17,816 --> 00:43:21,650 and the word was made flesh, right? 1116 00:43:21,716 --> 00:43:24,949 So that is Jesus in in the book of John. 1117 00:43:25,016 --> 00:43:28,783 And then a name that no one knows but himself. 1118 00:43:28,849 --> 00:43:30,166 What will this be? 1119 00:43:30,233 --> 00:43:31,483 What's it going to be? 1120 00:43:31,550 --> 00:43:33,099 What's this name that he's going to know? 1121 00:43:33,183 --> 00:43:36,233 Well, maybe, perhaps it'll describe him 1122 00:43:36,233 --> 00:43:39,650 as Luke describes him, Jesus, the son of man. 1123 00:43:39,716 --> 00:43:43,066 I don't know, you know, we've got all these other 3 descriptions 1124 00:43:43,083 --> 00:43:45,416 here except for the one that's in Luke. 1125 00:43:45,483 --> 00:43:46,250 Who knows, you know? 1126 00:43:46,316 --> 00:43:49,316 But we may know him in our 1127 00:43:49,316 --> 00:43:52,316 hearts, but listen, we don't 1128 00:43:52,316 --> 00:43:54,533 really know him like we're going to know him in eternity. 1129 00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:55,550 That's right, that's right. 1130 00:43:55,683 --> 00:43:58,849 As son of man, 1131 00:43:58,849 --> 00:44:01,849 as as as the king of kings and 1132 00:44:01,849 --> 00:44:04,900 the Lord of lords and the faithful and true, and the word of God, we're 1133 00:44:04,916 --> 00:44:08,033 going to know him in his entirety, and the great part about heaven, 1134 00:44:08,033 --> 00:44:10,550 is we're going to get to know Jesus all throughout eternity. 1135 00:44:10,616 --> 00:44:11,266 Amen. 1136 00:44:11,333 --> 00:44:12,533 That's good. 1137 00:44:12,599 --> 00:44:15,949 You know, I love these 3 verses and you 1138 00:44:15,949 --> 00:44:19,066 stop at 413 that says, and he was clothed with a vesture 1139 00:44:19,083 --> 00:44:21,716 dipped in blood and his name is called the Word of God. 1140 00:44:21,783 --> 00:44:23,033 John recognized him. 1141 00:44:23,099 --> 00:44:23,566 Yeah. 1142 00:44:23,583 --> 00:44:26,699 I mean, I mean, John spent 3 years with him and 1143 00:44:26,699 --> 00:44:28,500 he comes out and he goes, that's the word. 1144 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:29,316 That is Jesus. 1145 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,300 That is my savior. 1146 00:44:30,349 --> 00:44:31,300 That is my friend. 1147 00:44:31,316 --> 00:44:34,783 That I watched die, that I watched spend 1148 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,199 another 40 days walking around raising people from the dead. 1149 00:44:37,250 --> 00:44:40,066 And then I saw him, and then I saw him ascending to heaven, and this is him coming back. 1150 00:44:40,133 --> 00:44:42,099 John knows what's going on here, but I love that. 1151 00:44:42,183 --> 00:44:43,683 Faithful and true. 1152 00:44:43,733 --> 00:44:47,683 And I love the King James at the end of verse 11. 1153 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,366 And in righteousness. 1154 00:44:49,433 --> 00:44:51,833 He does judge and make war. 1155 00:44:51,900 --> 00:44:54,900 A lot of the other translations say with 1156 00:44:54,900 --> 00:44:58,199 justice, he judges and goes to war, but no, it is righteous 1157 00:44:58,199 --> 00:45:00,233 judgment and righteous war. 1158 00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:02,099 Not just just. 1159 00:45:02,150 --> 00:45:03,050 It is righteous. 1160 00:45:03,116 --> 00:45:07,133 Because there is a difference in something that is righteous and something is just. 1161 00:45:07,250 --> 00:45:11,083 The 2 things are not necessarily the same for us here on Earth. 1162 00:45:11,150 --> 00:45:13,599 But John is making it abundantly clear. 1163 00:45:13,683 --> 00:45:14,883 This is not just justice. 1164 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,316 It is righteousness. 1165 00:45:16,383 --> 00:45:17,583 Yeah. 1166 00:45:17,583 --> 00:45:18,183 Yeah. 1167 00:45:18,233 --> 00:45:21,400 I mean, at the end of Paul's ministry before he was executed. 1168 00:45:21,483 --> 00:45:25,083 He desired to know Christ more than he ever had before. 1169 00:45:25,133 --> 00:45:25,300 know? 1170 00:45:25,383 --> 00:45:28,083 And that's that's, I think that's what we're going to be in heaven. 1171 00:45:28,133 --> 00:45:31,250 You know, when all this is going on, that I may know 1172 00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:34,300 him and the power is resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering 1173 00:45:34,316 --> 00:45:35,983 being made conformable unto his death. 1174 00:45:36,050 --> 00:45:38,266 That's what he wants. 1175 00:45:38,333 --> 00:45:39,766 Yeah, that's what. 1176 00:45:39,783 --> 00:45:41,449 Yeah, man. 1177 00:45:41,516 --> 00:45:44,933 Yeah, you know, he's he's not he's dressed up fancy, is he? 1178 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,133 No, no. 1179 00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:47,400 Dipped in blood. 1180 00:45:47,449 --> 00:45:47,866 Yeah. 1181 00:45:47,883 --> 00:45:51,300 That's that says a couple things to me that, 1182 00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:52,616 you know, it's probably his own blood. 1183 00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:54,050 Yeah. 1184 00:45:54,116 --> 00:45:57,283 And that saved mankind or 1185 00:45:57,300 --> 00:46:00,000 offered salvation to mankind at least, right? 1186 00:46:00,050 --> 00:46:03,216 And that blood's going to be the blood of his enemies. 1187 00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:03,900 That's right. 1188 00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:04,366 That's right. 1189 00:46:04,433 --> 00:46:06,466 And well, and that's the thing. 1190 00:46:06,533 --> 00:46:07,733 He hasn't gone to war with them yet. 1191 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,166 So who's who else blood could it be? 1192 00:46:09,233 --> 00:46:11,500 He hasn't gone to war yet. 1193 00:46:11,583 --> 00:46:12,833 But it shows, man. 1194 00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:15,050 is a fierce warrior. 1195 00:46:15,116 --> 00:46:15,650 Gosh, yeah. 1196 00:46:15,716 --> 00:46:16,783 Fierce warrior. 1197 00:46:16,849 --> 00:46:17,449 He is. 1198 00:46:17,516 --> 00:46:17,933 He is. 1199 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:18,349 Absolutely. 1200 00:46:18,416 --> 00:46:21,116 We're going to see strength like we've ever seen strength before. 1201 00:46:21,183 --> 00:46:23,699 You're talking about a wife being in awe of her husband. 1202 00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:24,349 Yeah. 1203 00:46:24,349 --> 00:46:25,183 You know? 1204 00:46:25,250 --> 00:46:28,666 Yeah, we're coming along behind him going, yeah, 1205 00:46:28,683 --> 00:46:30,233 get him. 1206 00:46:30,349 --> 00:46:32,316 You know, and here's the thing. 1207 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,900 The mental. 1208 00:46:34,133 --> 00:46:37,183 the picture here of a warrior coming at you 1209 00:46:37,199 --> 00:46:39,599 dripping in his own blood. 1210 00:46:39,716 --> 00:46:40,783 Yeah, yeah. 1211 00:46:40,849 --> 00:46:44,316 That is a terror, for anybody, 1212 00:46:44,333 --> 00:46:47,383 especially at the time this was written for anybody that's ever been on a 1213 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,516 battlefield, if you had a guy out there that everybody had 1214 00:46:50,516 --> 00:46:53,566 taken a shot at and he's just covered in cuts and bruises 1215 00:46:53,583 --> 00:46:56,699 and is bleeding everywhere and he's covered in his own blood or even the 1216 00:46:56,699 --> 00:46:59,750 blood of everybody else, and he comes walking up to you, the only thing you can 1217 00:46:59,750 --> 00:47:01,550 do is go, well, I'm done. 1218 00:47:01,616 --> 00:47:03,466 I mean, what do you get? 1219 00:47:03,533 --> 00:47:06,533 Everybody just took a shot at this guy and couldn't kill him. 1220 00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:07,666 What am I going to do? 1221 00:47:07,733 --> 00:47:10,666 And I mean, that was a terrifying sight on the battlefield. 1222 00:47:10,733 --> 00:47:14,633 We don't think about it in these terms today because we don't have battlefields like that anymore. 1223 00:47:14,699 --> 00:47:15,650 Everything's done remotely. 1224 00:47:15,716 --> 00:47:18,349 Everything's done at a distance with guns and things. 1225 00:47:18,416 --> 00:47:20,516 But back then it was it was up close and personal. 1226 00:47:20,583 --> 00:47:21,533 You were in each other's faces. 1227 00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:24,000 And if you saw somebody walking around like that. 1228 00:47:24,050 --> 00:47:26,316 You knew, hey, it's time to throw down the weapons because you're done. 1229 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,550 You stand no chance. 1230 00:47:28,616 --> 00:47:31,849 Maybe, maybe you could get a lucky shot in, but you're 1231 00:47:31,849 --> 00:47:33,466 probably not going to for somebody that's walked through that. 1232 00:47:33,533 --> 00:47:36,099 And that's exactly what John is seeing here. 1233 00:47:36,116 --> 00:47:38,083 And it's his robe is dipped in it. 1234 00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:39,949 His robe is just covered in it. 1235 00:47:40,016 --> 00:47:43,483 I mean, that would be a horrifying side for 1236 00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:46,433 everybody on earth looking up going, this is treading the wine press. 1237 00:47:46,500 --> 00:47:48,000 This is treading wideress. 1238 00:47:48,050 --> 00:47:48,699 He's gonna stop. 1239 00:47:48,833 --> 00:47:49,433 I start seeing. 1240 00:47:49,500 --> 00:47:51,233 And I was going to say and think about Satan. 1241 00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:55,133 I mean, Isaiah has 1242 00:47:55,133 --> 00:47:57,400 a good in Isaiah 66. 1243 00:47:57,650 --> 00:47:58,250 Yes. 1244 00:47:58,250 --> 00:48:01,066 Thus saith the Lord, the heaven is my throne. 1245 00:48:01,133 --> 00:48:02,266 The earth is my footstool. 1246 00:48:02,333 --> 00:48:05,449 Where is the house that you build under me and where's the place of my rest 1247 00:48:05,449 --> 00:48:08,449 for all those things, hath mine 1248 00:48:08,449 --> 00:48:12,166 handmade and all the things have been made, saith the Lord. 1249 00:48:12,233 --> 00:48:15,283 But to this man will I look even to him that is poor into 1250 00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:18,300 the contrite spirit and tremble at my word. 1251 00:48:18,349 --> 00:48:21,349 He that killeth an ox and as if he slew a man, he 1252 00:48:21,349 --> 00:48:24,400 that sacrificeth a lamb, and if he cut off 1253 00:48:24,416 --> 00:48:27,533 a dog's neck, he that offereth an oblation, as 1254 00:48:27,533 --> 00:48:29,083 if he offered swine's blood. 1255 00:48:29,150 --> 00:48:32,199 He that burneth incense is if he blessed an idol. 1256 00:48:32,283 --> 00:48:35,699 Yea, they have chosen their own ways and 1257 00:48:35,699 --> 00:48:38,400 their soul delighteth in the abominations. 1258 00:48:38,449 --> 00:48:41,800 I also will choose their delusions and 1259 00:48:41,816 --> 00:48:44,933 will bring their fears upon them because when I 1260 00:48:44,933 --> 00:48:47,083 called, none did answer. 1261 00:48:47,150 --> 00:48:50,316 When I speak, they did not hear, but they 1262 00:48:50,333 --> 00:48:53,333 did evil before mine eyes and chose it, and which I 1263 00:48:53,333 --> 00:48:57,099 delighted not, hear the word of the Lord, that you, 1264 00:48:57,116 --> 00:49:00,466 that ye that tremble at his word, your brethren 1265 00:49:00,483 --> 00:49:04,016 that hated you, that cast you out for my name's 1266 00:49:04,016 --> 00:49:07,133 sake, said, let the Lord be glorified, but he 1267 00:49:07,133 --> 00:49:10,133 shall appear to your joy, and they shall be 1268 00:49:10,133 --> 00:49:13,433 ashamed, and the voice of the noise from the city, 1269 00:49:13,433 --> 00:49:16,599 a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord, that rendereth 1270 00:49:16,616 --> 00:49:17,866 recompense to his enemies 1271 00:49:18,050 --> 00:49:21,050 That's some strong language right there, guys. 1272 00:49:21,116 --> 00:49:24,166 I mean, he's saying, look, he said, even 1273 00:49:24,183 --> 00:49:27,533 the people who made fun of you and mocked you for following me. 1274 00:49:27,599 --> 00:49:30,716 He said, they're going to get their day and they're going to get their time. 1275 00:49:30,783 --> 00:49:31,500 Amen. 1276 00:49:31,550 --> 00:49:34,066 I was thinking of Zechariah 14. 1277 00:49:34,199 --> 00:49:37,250 Verse 3 says, then the Lord will go forth 1278 00:49:37,250 --> 00:49:40,366 and fight against those nations is when he fights on a day of battle. 1279 00:49:40,433 --> 00:49:43,550 And that day his feet will stand on the Mount of 1280 00:49:43,550 --> 00:49:46,550 Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east, and 1281 00:49:46,550 --> 00:49:50,016 the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by 1282 00:49:50,033 --> 00:49:53,083 a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north 1283 00:49:53,099 --> 00:49:54,599 and the other half toward the south. 1284 00:49:54,650 --> 00:49:55,900 Yeah, that's power. 1285 00:49:55,983 --> 00:49:56,633 That is power. 1286 00:49:56,750 --> 00:49:57,283 That's power. 1287 00:49:57,349 --> 00:49:58,849 It's Josh Howerton. 1288 00:49:58,916 --> 00:49:59,333 You see that? 1289 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:00,349 Talking about the fault line? 1290 00:50:00,416 --> 00:50:02,750 Yeah, they discovered a fault line under them. 1291 00:50:02,816 --> 00:50:05,516 And this is exactly the same place he'd ascended from. 1292 00:50:05,633 --> 00:50:06,233 Yeah. 1293 00:50:06,233 --> 00:50:06,883 He's coming back. 1294 00:50:06,949 --> 00:50:08,683 It's the same way you saw him go up. 1295 00:50:08,750 --> 00:50:09,283 That's right. 1296 00:50:09,300 --> 00:50:09,766 That's right. 1297 00:50:09,833 --> 00:50:12,050 And imagine the terror on these people's faces too. 1298 00:50:12,116 --> 00:50:15,349 When they see the heavens, like 1299 00:50:15,349 --> 00:50:16,666 a spiritual realm open up. 1300 00:50:17,216 --> 00:50:19,366 Yeah, like a portal comes through this thing. 1301 00:50:19,433 --> 00:50:20,866 Yeah. 1302 00:50:20,933 --> 00:50:21,949 Oh, man. 1303 00:50:21,949 --> 00:50:22,900 And the world is this. 1304 00:50:23,033 --> 00:50:23,750 Oh, man. 1305 00:50:23,816 --> 00:50:24,233 Right. 1306 00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:24,949 And just terror. 1307 00:50:25,016 --> 00:50:25,966 absolute terror. 1308 00:50:26,033 --> 00:50:26,750 Yes. 1309 00:50:26,816 --> 00:50:28,783 beautiful terror for us, right? 1310 00:50:28,849 --> 00:50:30,650 I mean, it's just... 1311 00:50:30,783 --> 00:50:32,883 And it goes right back to Matthew 24, right? 1312 00:50:32,933 --> 00:50:35,983 And he said, but immediately after the 1313 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,050 tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give 1314 00:50:39,050 --> 00:50:42,816 its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. 1315 00:50:42,833 --> 00:50:45,883 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear 1316 00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:49,133 in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, 1317 00:50:49,133 --> 00:50:52,133 and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the 1318 00:50:52,133 --> 00:50:55,300 sky with power, and great glory, and he will 1319 00:50:55,316 --> 00:50:58,550 send forth his angels with a great trumpet, and they will gather together his 1320 00:50:58,550 --> 00:51:01,066 elect from the 4 winds, from one into the sky to the other. 1321 00:51:01,133 --> 00:51:02,333 Yeah, amen. 1322 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:03,050 Amen. 1323 00:51:03,116 --> 00:51:05,266 And I mean, you think about it. 1324 00:51:05,333 --> 00:51:06,283 They're going to be trembling. 1325 00:51:06,349 --> 00:51:08,566 They're going to be going, it's real, guys. 1326 00:51:08,633 --> 00:51:09,233 It's real. 1327 00:51:09,300 --> 00:51:09,766 Here he is. 1328 00:51:09,833 --> 00:51:10,599 Here he is. 1329 00:51:10,683 --> 00:51:13,016 I mean, they're going to know before it hits, right? 1330 00:51:13,083 --> 00:51:14,099 We're all fixing to die. 1331 00:51:14,216 --> 00:51:15,883 There's nothing we can do here. 1332 00:51:15,949 --> 00:51:17,866 And we got we got these churches out there. 1333 00:51:17,933 --> 00:51:19,066 Oh, Jesus is just love. 1334 00:51:19,133 --> 00:51:21,766 He's just hippies walking around 2000. 1335 00:51:22,016 --> 00:51:22,916 years ago, man. 1336 00:51:22,983 --> 00:51:25,199 Yeah, and that's true. 1337 00:51:25,316 --> 00:51:26,449 No, that's what that's what you 1338 00:51:26,699 --> 00:51:27,766 that's what you've got, man. 1339 00:51:27,833 --> 00:51:31,366 And it just, oh, it angers me almost with hopefully 1340 00:51:31,383 --> 00:51:32,699 with righteous anger. 1341 00:51:32,750 --> 00:51:35,800 But that you've got all these folks that are out there 1342 00:51:35,816 --> 00:51:39,166 telling these things like the word of life ministries down there in Fort Payne. 1343 00:51:39,233 --> 00:51:42,283 Don't go near it, don't go around it because I'm telling you guys, 1344 00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:44,566 it's false doctrine, okay? 1345 00:51:44,633 --> 00:51:47,633 Pray for them, pray that they come to the realization of who 1346 00:51:47,633 --> 00:51:51,166 Jesus really is and get away from this stuff, but that's 1347 00:51:51,183 --> 00:51:54,000 the stuff that they're preaching here, you know? 1348 00:51:54,050 --> 00:51:57,216 I mean, that we're somehow supposed to take

rod of iron, and he treads the wine press 1543 00:58:35,283 --> 00:58:38,400 of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, and on 1544 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,133 his robe, and on his thigh. 1545

Psalms chapter 2, verse 6 through nine. 1562 00:59:08,699 --> 00:59:11,866 We talk about it says here he'll rule 1563 00:59:11,883 --> 00:59:12,900 the rod of iron. 1564 00:59:12,949 --> 00:59:15,699 in Psalms 2.6, 1565 00:59:15,783 --> 00:59:18,833 It says, yet have I set my king upon my 1566 00:59:18,833 --> 00:59:20,083 holy hill of Zion. 1567 00:59:20,150 --> 00:59:23,866 I will declare the decree, the Lord has said unto me, thou art my son. 1568 00:59:23,933 --> 00:59:26,266 This day have I begotten thee. 1569 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,516 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen, for 1570 00:59:29,516 --> 00:59:33,166 thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 1571 00:59:33,233 --> 00:59:36,233 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou 1572 00:59:36,233 --> 00:59:38,633 shalt dash them in pieces with the potter's vessel. 1573 00:59:38,699 --> 00:59:41,750 I mean, so we see 1574 00:59:41,750 --> 00:59:45,050 that he has been, he's been given the heathen. 1575 00:59:45,050 --> 00:59:49,550 The 1st time he came, he got them, they were us. 1576 00:59:49,616 --> 00:59:53,033 We were the 1st set of heathen and he 1577 00:59:53,033 --> 00:59:54,400 got us through salvation. 1578 00:59:54,483 --> 00:59:56,699 He died for our sins. 1579 00:59:56,750 --> 00:59:57,816 We accepted that. 1580 00:59:57,900 --> 01:00:00,599 But the rest of this. 1581 01:00:00,650 --> 01:00:02,566 He will destroy them. 1582 01:00:02,633 --> 01:00:06,283 So, but either way, you're going to recognize he's God. 1583 01:00:06,349 --> 01:00:09,400 Whether you're saved by the blood of the lamb or whether you 1584 01:00:09,416 --> 01:00:12,650 reject it, you're going to recognize who he is. 1585 01:00:12,716 --> 01:00:13,666 Absolutely. 1586 01:00:13,683

01:00:24,949 --> 01:00:25,550 That's right. 1593 01:00:25,550 --> 01:00:26,616 It's none to perish. 1594 01:00:27,483 --> 01:00:29,283 Right here, the mercy is over. 1595 01:00:29,333 --> 01:00:30,833

01:00:35,516 Yes. 1599 01:00:35,583 --> 01:00:38,099 He would have just poured it all out at once if he wasn't merciful. 1600 01:00:38,150 --> 01:00:38,500 That's right. 1601 01:00:38,583 --> 01:00:38,816 Yeah. 1602 01:00:38,883 --> 01:00:39,183 that's right 1603 01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:41,699 Again, it all leads up. 1604 01:00:41,750 --> 01:00:45,283 Reflecting the nature of God, the mercy, 1605 01:00:45,300 --> 01:00:48,949 the grace, but the justice, the 1606 01:00:48,949 --> 01:00:51,166 justice and the righteousness and the judgment. 1607 01:00:51,233 --> 01:00:52,849 I mean, with justice. 1608 01:00:52,916 --> 01:00:56,566 That's the thing people forget sometimes justice and 1609 01:00:56,583 --> 01:00:58,849 righteousness requires judgment. 1610 01:00:58,916 --> 01:01:02,333 You can't be just without judgment. 1611 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,500 You cannot, and everybody always makes a big deal. 1612 01:01:04,550 --> 01:01:05,916 Wow, you're not supposed to judge people. 1613 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,116 Look, it's not for us to judge, but the one who is a judge 1614 01:01:09,116 --> 01:01:11,083 has made it very clear how he's going to judge us. 1615 01:01:11,150 --> 01:01:14,199 He sent us the very standards by which 1616 01:01:14,216 --> 01:01:17,449 we will be judged and we are all found wanting. 1617 01:01:17,516 --> 01:01:18,583 Amen. 1618 01:01:18,650 --> 01:01:20,449 And that's what the cross is about, right? 1619 01:01:20,516 --> 01:01:21,283 Exactly. 1620 01:01:21,349 --> 01:01:22,783 Perfect love makes perfect justice. 1621 01:01:22,849 --> 01:01:24,283 Right, Jesus. 1622 01:01:24,349 --> 01:01:27,583 And that's why you're either with him or against him. 1623 01:01:27,650 --> 01:01:28,783 And if you've turned him down. 1624 01:01:28,849 --> 01:01:30,466 this is your destiny. 1625 01:01:30,533 --> 01:01:31,483 Yes, absolutely. 1626 01:01:31,550 --> 01:01:32,916 This is your destiny. 1627 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,650

seen before. 1734 01:05:48,183 --> 01:05:51,416 And a dude riding on a horse comes down out of space and 1735 01:05:51,416 --> 01:05:53,083 you're like, yeah, we can we can take him. 1736 01:05:53,150

01:06:09,300 --> 01:06:12,650 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed 1746 01:06:12,650 --> 01:06:15,883 the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who 1747 01:06:15,900 --> 01:06:19,250 had received the mark of the beast, and those who worshiped his image. 1748 01:06:19,316 --> 01:06:22,366 These 2 were thrown alive into the lake of 1749 01:06:22,383 --> 01:06:25,433 fire which burns with brimstone, and the rest were killed 1750 01:06:25,433 --> 01:06:28,849 with the sword which came from the mouth of him capital H, 1751 01:06:28,849 --> 01:06:32,866 who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh. 1752 01:06:32,933 --> 01:06:37,066 These are the only 2 men in history that will not face a judgment. 1753 01:06:37,133 -->

even kill him with a sword. 1764 01:06:54,599 --> 01:06:57,233 And the sword extending out of his mouth, that's the word. 1765 01:06:57,300 --> 01:07:00,349 This is the word of God, speaking the words of 1766 01:07:00,349 --> 01:07:03,583 God, and the armies are just bawling down like wheat. 1767 01:07:03,650 --> 01:07:05,616 These are two despicable human beings. 1768 01:07:05,750 --> 01:07:09,050 Yeah, coming against him right up to the bitter end, but they're no match for him. 1769 01:07:09,116 --> 01:07:11,033 They're no match for him. 1770 01:07:11,099 --> 01:07:14,516 All the power that they have, all the power that they've been given. 1771 01:07:14,583 --> 01:07:16,133 Yeah, you know, it's a lot like Satan, though. 1772 01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:18,949 you know, when I'll ascend to the throne on high. 1773 01:07:19,016 --> 01:07:19,916 Yeah, yeah. 1774 01:07:19,983 --> 01:07:21,416 What in the world was he thinking? 1775 01:07:21,483 --> 01:07:22,133 Yeah, yeah. 1776 01:07:22,199

01:07:39,349 Yeah, and understand this, this isn't this isn't annihilation. 1786 01:07:39,416 --> 01:07:41,150 This isn't, well, they just cease to exist. 1787 01:07:41,216 --> 01:07:43,550 No, no.

01:07:47,883 --> 01:07:51,900 So, this 1792 01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:55,066 whole annihilation theory, this 1793 01:07:55,083 --> 01:07:58,500 really blows all of it out of the water right here because, 1794 01:07:58,500 --> 01:08:01,800 okay, if you're going to believe in that, do 1795 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,866 you believe that everyone's going to go in there for a time and come out, and 1796 01:08:05,883 --> 01:08:08,583 you're going to, are you going to include these 2 guys in that? 1797 01:08:08,633 --> 01:08:11,800 These 2 guys who have come against the almighty God, 1798 01:08:11,816 --> 01:08:14,816 who come against Christ Jesus, and you think that they're just 1799 01:08:14,816 --> 01:08:18,533 going to be in there for a while, and then they're going to, you know, and 1800 01:08:18,533 --> 01:08:19,966 be annihilated, you know? 1801 01:08:20,033 --> 01:08:22,183 No, no, they're going to they're going to be punished forever. 1802 01:08:22,250 --> 01:08:23,916 They're going to be punished forever. 1803 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,316 There's no purgatory. 1804 01:08:25,383 --> 01:08:26,883 No. annihilation. 1805 01:08:26,933 --> 01:08:30,399 Your decision is made while you're alive here. 1806 01:08:30,649 --> 01:08:31,366 Yeah, that's right. 1807 01:08:31,433 --> 01:08:34,899 You pay for your own sins, or you take the free gift to salvation. 1808 01:08:34,983 --> 01:08:35,583 Amen. 1809 01:08:35,633 --> 01:08:36,050 Amen. 1810 01:08:36,116 --> 01:08:39,116 And like Tyler's already said, and he's got a sword 1811 01:08:39,116 --> 01:08:40,550 with him and the sword is the scripture. 1812 01:08:40,616 --> 01:08:41,750 It's the word of God. 1813 01:08:41,816 --> 01:08:42,833 It's his word. 1814 01:08:42,899 --> 01:08:46,199 And that tells me, by the way, the 1815 01:08:46,199 --> 01:08:49,616 way this reads tells me he doesn't speak a word when he slaps those 2 down. 1816 01:08:49,683 --> 01:08:50,699 Yeah. 1817 01:08:50,750 --> 01:08:52,966 He just, they're just grabbed and gone. 1818 01:08:53,033 --> 01:08:55,850 And then he starts actually speaking. 1819 01:08:55,850 --> 01:08:58,899 And then he starts actually... 1820 01:08:58,916 --> 01:09:02,333 After they see these 2 guys that they just followed for the last few years. 1821 01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:04,133 They're swatted down like ants. 1822 01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:07,133 I mean, I mean, they're just done, done for him. 1823 01:09:07,199 --> 01:09:09,000 He's like, I don't know what we're going to do. 1824 01:09:09,050 --> 01:09:11,983 But he's going to die. 1825 01:09:12,050 --> 01:09:15,050 Hebrews 412, uh, for the word 1826 01:09:15,050 --> 01:09:18,350 of God is quick and powerful and sharper than he 2 edged sword, piercing, 1827 01:09:18,350 --> 01:09:21,350 even the dividing sunder, soul, spirit, joints of Myron, 1828 01:09:21,350 --> 01:09:23,266 his discernive thoughts and intents of the heart. 1829 01:09:23,333 --> 01:09:24,283 Ephesians 6, 17. 1830 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,066 Take on the helmet of salvation, the sword of spirit, which is the word of God. 1831 01:09:28,133 --> 01:09:31,300 Isaiah 11, 4, but with righteousness shall he 1832 01:09:31,316 --> 01:09:34,433 judge the poor and reproved the equity of the 1833 01:09:34,433 --> 01:09:37,483 meat of the earth, and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, 1834 01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:40,250 and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 1835 01:09:40,316 --> 01:09:42,416 So by his words. 1836 01:09:42,466 --> 01:09:45,516 By his word, the 1837 01:09:45,533 --> 01:09:47,500 word, the word was spoken to existence. 1838 01:09:47,633 --> 01:09:48,399 Right? 1839 01:09:48,466 --> 01:09:48,816 Yeah. 1840 01:09:48,833 --> 01:09:50,800 The same mouth that spoke it in. 1841 01:09:50,883 --> 01:09:51,483 That's right. 1842 01:09:51,533 --> 01:09:53,383 The same mouth that saved us. 1843 01:09:53,449 --> 01:09:56,449 Right. is going to be, he's going to destroy 1844 01:09:56,449 --> 01:09:57,699 his enemies by that same man. 1845 01:09:57,783 --> 01:09:58,250 That's right. 1846 01:09:58,316 --> 01:09:59,083 Colossians one. 1847 01:09:59,149 --> 01:10:02,383 He is the image of the invisible God, the 1stborn of all creation 1848 01:10:02,399 --> 01:10:05,516 for by him, all things were created, both in the heavens 1849 01:10:05,516 --> 01:10:09,583 and on earth, visible and invisible, where the thrones are dominions, rulers or authorities. 1850 01:10:09,649 --> 01:10:12,350 All things have been created through him and for him. 1851 01:10:12,466 --> 01:10:14,500 He spoke all this into existence. 1852 01:10:14,583 --> 01:10:15,483 Absolutely. 1853 01:10:15,533 --> 01:10:16,300 Just words. 1854 01:10:16,383 --> 01:10:17,100 Amen. 1855 01:10:17,149 --> 01:10:17,616 Amen. 1856 01:10:17,699 --> 01:10:20,750 Is it funny here that, and I never have 1857 01:10:20,750 --> 01:10:24,466 really thought about it or looked into it much, but in 1858 01:10:24,483 --> 01:10:28,550 verse 21 caused the rest of them a remnant. 1859 01:10:28,616 --> 01:10:30,766 what's left of them. 1860 01:10:30,833 --> 01:10:31,966 The remnant were slain. 1861 01:10:32,033 --> 01:10:33,100 Yeah, yeah. 1862 01:10:33,183 --> 01:10:34,983 In the King James, it says Remnant. 1863 01:10:35,033 --> 01:10:36,050 What's it say in yours? 1864 01:10:36,116 --> 01:10:36,883 The rest. 1865 01:10:36,899 --> 01:10:37,500 The rest. 1866 01:10:37,550 --> 01:10:41,316 So, so, you know, so there's, 1867 01:10:41,333 --> 01:10:44,683 there'll be people that'll probably just die just 1868 01:10:44,699 --> 01:10:46,250 watching what's going on. 1869 01:10:46,316 --> 01:10:47,516 You know? 1870 01:10:47,583 --> 01:10:49,316 Hearts feeling fear. 1871 01:10:49,383 --> 01:10:49,916 Oh, yeah. 1872 01:10:49,966 --> 01:10:50,266 Yeah. 1873 01:10:50,333 --> 01:10:51,100 Yeah, absolutely. 1874 01:10:51,183 --> 01:10:52,016 absolutely. 1875 01:10:52,083 --> 01:10:55,500 And, and, 1876 01:10:55,500 --> 01:10:57,233 like I say, it blows my mind. 1877 01:10:57,300 --> 01:11:00,416 The kings gather their armies together after they see this guy 1878 01:11:00,416 --> 01:11:03,416 come down out of the sky, go, yep, we can do this. 1879 01:11:03,466 --> 01:11:06,333 They're following the beast and the and the prophet. 1880 01:11:06,350 --> 01:11:08,750 And, all right, we're going to make this happen. 1881 01:11:08,750 --> 01:11:11,800 And then the people they've been following that have deceived them, that have shown 1882 01:11:11,816 --> 01:11:15,583 them signs and wonders and how powerful and awesome they, oh. 1883 01:11:15,649 --> 01:11:17,449 There you go. 1884 01:11:17,516 --> 01:11:19,783 They didn't last 2 seconds. 1885 01:11:19,850 --> 01:11:23,449 They're just gone with 0 fanfare. 1886 01:11:23,516 --> 01:11:25,183 I mean, it's not even a fight. 1887 01:11:25,316 --> 01:11:26,633 Yeah, glory there. 1888 01:11:26,699 --> 01:11:28,850 And then they just apparently keep going. 1889 01:11:28,916 --> 01:11:32,516 There is no indication here, they turned around and tried to run. 1890 01:11:32,583 --> 01:11:34,250 They just keep on charging. 1891 01:11:34,316 --> 01:11:37,966 And I mean, granted, you're talking about, like you say, probably 1000000000s of people. 1892 01:11:38,033 --> 01:11:41,333 It is what's left on the earth at this point just keeps on going. 1893 01:11:41,399 --> 01:11:42,716 I mean, you can't stop that momentum. 1894 01:11:42,783 --> 01:11:43,800 I mean, that's true. 1895 01:11:43,850 --> 01:11:46,850 I get it, but good lord, the poor guys at the front had to 1896 01:11:46,850 --> 01:11:48,166 be going, do I have to? 1897 01:11:48,233 --> 01:11:50,149 I just saw I saw what just happened. 1898 01:11:50,216 --> 01:11:52,016 I don't want to do this anymore and I can't leave. 1899 01:11:52,133 --> 01:11:54,883 And I think that's what people don't understand. 1900 01:11:54,949 --> 01:11:58,116 They think that this is some kind of a, oh, how cruel it's got. 1901 01:11:58,199 --> 01:11:59,100 You don't understand. 1902 01:11:59,149 --> 01:12:02,199 When you put yourself in the middle of something like this, just 1903 01:12:02,216 --> 01:12:05,383 the momentum of what you're doing, there are people that are witnessing 1904 01:12:05,399 --> 01:12:07,316 this, there's nowhere to go. 1905 01:12:07,383 --> 01:12:10,800 They're in the middle of a giant army that 1906 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:13,800 consists of the vast majority of people left on the earth, which isn't many 1907 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:15,833 compared to what we have today, but it's still a lot. 1908 01:12:15,949 --> 01:12:18,399 And what are you going to do? 1909 01:12:18,483 --> 01:12:19,133 You going to turn around? 1910 01:12:19,199 --> 01:12:19,966 you get trampled to death. 1911 01:12:20,033 --> 01:12:21,883 You're going to try to work your way out of the crowd? 1912 01:12:22,016 --> 01:12:22,433 You can't move. 1913 01:12:22,500 --> 01:12:23,449 You're shoulder to shoulder. 1914 01:12:23,516 --> 01:12:25,783 just squeezing into this situation. 1915 01:12:25,850 --> 01:12:27,050 There's nowhere to go. 1916 01:12:27,116 --> 01:12:30,416 And then the guy on the horse suddenly just starts speaking. 1917 01:12:30,533 --> 01:12:34,300 That has to be the 1918 01:12:34,316 --> 01:12:37,433 most incredible picture of God's power. 1919 01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:40,500 You go back to Genesis, and he says, let there be 1920 01:12:40,500 --> 01:12:43,550 light, and he just starts speaking things into existence, and everything 1921 01:12:43,550 --> 01:12:44,983 just starts being created. 1922 01:12:45,050 --> 01:12:47,083 And then here Christ comes in and just says, you're all dead. 1923 01:12:47,149 --> 01:12:47,616 Yeah. 1924 01:12:47,633 --> 01:12:49,733 Done, done. 1925 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,616 And the other thing I was looking at here too. 1926 01:12:52,683 --> 01:12:55,199 And I mean, I don't I'm not sitting here to explain. 1927 01:12:55,250 --> 01:12:58,850 I'm not going to be able to explain this, but the lake of fire. 1928 01:12:58,916 --> 01:13:00,766 I don't know exactly where it's going to be. 1929 01:13:00,833 --> 01:13:03,949 Here we see a picture from 1930 01:13:03,949 --> 01:13:07,183 Earth because the Antichrist and 1931 01:13:07,199 --> 01:13:11,033 the false prophet are both here, evidently, with these armies. 1932 01:13:11,100 --> 01:13:14,100 They're they're in the midst of this, you know, I don't know if 1933 01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:17,816 they're leading the way and he just, but he throws them into the lake of the fire. 1934 01:13:17,933 --> 01:13:21,283 So I don't know if all these people here are going to see that if he's 1935 01:13:21,300 --> 01:13:24,899 going to grab them up and where that lake of fire is going to be or whatever, 1936 01:13:24,899 --> 01:13:25,916 but if... 1937 01:13:25,916 --> 01:13:28,016 I think it's just like, it's just like the sky's opening up. 1938 01:13:28,083 --> 01:13:31,133 They're going to see just a spot open 1939 01:13:31,133 --> 01:13:32,566 up or something, you know? 1940 01:13:32,583 --> 01:13:34,250 a spiritual realm. 1941 01:13:34,316 --> 01:13:36,533 It's going to destroy, there's going to be a new heavens. 1942 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,833 Then we see it from heaven in chapter 20, right? 1943 01:13:39,899 --> 01:13:43,016 Because they're standing at the great white throne there 1944 01:13:43,016 --> 01:13:45,166 and they're cast into the Lake of Fire there. 1945 01:13:45,233 --> 01:13:48,233 So yeah, it's I guess it's wherever Jesus wants to open it 1946 01:13:48,233 --> 01:13:50,566 up at and and let them enter into it. 1947 01:13:50,633 --> 01:13:54,283 The actual location, I would say, would be somewhere beyond our universe. 1948 01:13:54,350 --> 01:13:57,699 So like you say, the spiritual, it's in that spiritual realm that exists 1949 01:13:57,716 --> 01:14:01,133 outside of what we have here because there is there, 1950 01:14:01,133 --> 01:14:04,300 you have the universe that God created, and then you have whatever's outside of that. 1951 01:14:04,383 --> 01:14:04,983 Right. 1952 01:14:04,983 --> 01:14:05,933 Right. 1953 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,216 Wherever God came, you know, whatever God exists in. 1954 01:14:08,283 --> 01:14:10,800 where those powers and principalities are. 1955 01:14:10,850 --> 01:14:11,383 Right, exactly. 1956 01:14:11,449 --> 01:14:13,250 And it's something that's not physical. 1957 01:14:13,316 --> 01:14:14,266 It's something that's out there. 1958 01:14:14,333 --> 01:14:17,383 And yeah, I think it's literally going to be a, they're just going to see 1959 01:14:17,399 --> 01:14:20,699 like a tear in space open up and they're going to go, that looks really fiery. 1960 01:14:20,750 --> 01:14:22,416 Whoa, they just got tossed in there like they were nothing. 1961 01:14:22,500 --> 01:14:23,699 That's what Jesus has got. 1962 01:14:23,699 --> 01:14:25,916 And then it just closes right back when he comes in. 1963 01:14:25,983 --> 01:14:26,633 Exactly. 1964 01:14:26,699 --> 01:14:27,350 Yeah, yeah. 1965 01:14:27,416 --> 01:14:29,333 Do you notice that? 1966 01:14:29,333 --> 01:14:31,000 Every time it talks about him coming back. 1967 01:14:31,083 --> 01:14:34,250 Every time it talks about, it's always referencing as the heavens 1968 01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:37,966 rolling back as a scroll, as them opening up as them. 1969 01:14:38,033 --> 01:14:41,149 I mean, it is a very, very clear picture that he is 1970 01:14:41,149 --> 01:14:44,266 in a realm that is not in the universe, that 1971 01:14:44,283 --> 01:14:47,516 is not in what we understand of the universe, 1972 01:14:47,516 --> 01:14:48,883 and then he steps into it. 1973 01:14:48,949 --> 01:14:50,500 And it is. 1974 01:14:50,633 --> 01:14:51,233 It just boom. 1975 01:14:51,300 --> 01:14:51,649 It opens. 1976 01:14:51,783 --> 01:14:53,149 trying to open these kind of portals now. 1977 01:14:53,216 --> 01:14:54,050 Oh yeah. 1978 01:14:54,116 --> 01:14:56,266 Look at CERN and some other stuff is going on. 1979 01:14:56,399 --> 01:14:59,633 Or my, you know, my favorite funny show, a Skinwalker 1980 01:14:59,633 --> 01:15:02,683 ranch, where they're just poking a bear with a sharp stick, you know, 1981 01:15:02,699 --> 01:15:06,000 and it's a spiritual thing, and they're trying to open these portals and stuff, and it's like, 1982 01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,316 do you really want to do this? 1983 01:15:07,383 --> 01:15:09,050 You don't know what's on the other side of that thing? 1984 01:15:09,116 --> 01:15:09,949 I do. 1985 01:15:10,016 --> 01:15:14,149 But you don't mess with it because they're bigger and bad than you. 1986 01:15:14,149 --> 01:15:15,649 It ain't heaven. 1987 01:15:15,716 --> 01:15:16,250 I'll tell you that 1988 01:15:16,383 --> 01:15:17,449 That's what's on the other side. 1989 01:15:17,516 --> 01:15:19,250 It's not heaven and that's all you need to know. 1990 01:15:19,316 --> 01:15:21,583 You better have the Holy Spirit inside of you when you do it. 1991 01:15:21,649 --> 01:15:22,366 You know? 1992 01:15:22,433 --> 01:15:24,350 Because you might not walk away alive. 1993 01:15:24,416 --> 01:15:27,583 I mean, yeah, it blows 1994 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,833 my mind when I see people messing with this stuff and trying to trying 1995 01:15:30,833 --> 01:15:34,250 to see how far they can go and I'm just like, it's all around us too, the occult. 1996 01:15:34,316 --> 01:15:34,733 Oh, yeah. 1997 01:15:34,733 --> 01:15:37,000 People are messing and dabbling in this stuff all the time. 1998 01:15:37,083 --> 01:15:38,283 Oh yeah, absolutely. 1999 01:15:38,333 --> 01:15:38,983 Absolutely. 2000 01:15:39,050 --> 01:15:39,816 Absolutely 2001 01:15:40,016 --> 01:15:41,683 I'm sorry, guys. 2002 01:15:41,750 --> 01:15:43,966 I just like, I could... 2003 01:15:43,983 --> 01:15:45,300 Let rip, brother. go another hour. 2004 01:15:45,350 --> 01:15:48,399 Like I say, we're in my favorite, favorite few chapters right here. 2005 01:15:48,483 --> 01:15:52,683 I love the end of it because it's just it's so good because it does. 2006 01:15:52,733 --> 01:15:53,500 It's built up. 2007 01:15:53,633 --> 01:15:56,149 The entire scripture builds up to this. 2008 01:15:56,216 --> 01:15:56,816 It is. 2009 01:15:56,816 --> 01:15:58,733 And it's such and it is. 2010 01:15:58,800 --> 01:15:59,449 It's horrifying. 2011 01:15:59,516 --> 01:16:00,050 I get it. 2012 01:16:00,116 --> 01:16:02,683 This is a terrifying thing to read it and be lost. 2013 01:16:02,750 --> 01:16:05,800 It is a scary, scary thing, but for us, 2014 01:16:05,816 --> 01:16:07,133 it is beautiful. 2015 01:16:07,199 --> 01:16:08,866 have to be, right? 2016 01:16:08,933 --> 01:16:09,533 Exactly. 2017 01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,533 And Jesus is going to say it later in Revelation. 2018 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,766 Come to me, drink of the water of life without cost. 2019 01:16:15,899 --> 01:16:16,800 It's free. 2020 01:16:16,850 --> 01:16:18,050 It's free. 2021 01:16:18,116 --> 01:16:18,949 Come. 2022 01:16:19,016 --> 01:16:20,566 And again, it goes back to that. 2023 01:16:20,633 --> 01:16:22,550 It's not about how good you are. 2024 01:16:22,616 --> 01:16:24,166 It's not about how hard you work. 2025 01:16:24,233 --> 01:16:27,583 Yes, you're expected to make an effort. 2026 01:16:27,649 --> 01:16:28,416 Okay? 2027 01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:31,316 That's an expectation, but it's him. 2028 01:16:31,383 --> 01:16:34,733 It is him, it is him, it is him, it is his death on the cross and 2029 01:16:34,733 --> 01:16:37,300 his resurrection through that you are saved and nothing else. 2030 01:16:37,383 --> 01:16:40,616 It doesn't matter how good you are, doesn't matter how bad you are, doesn't 2031 01:16:40,616 --> 01:16:41,750 matter how many mistakes you've made. 2032 01:16:41,816 --> 01:16:44,216 They sacrificed everything, we sacrificed nothing. 2033 01:16:44,283 --> 01:16:44,933 Exactly. 2034 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:45,716 Yeah. 2035 01:16:45,716 --> 01:16:47,033 He paid the price. 2036 01:16:47,033 --> 01:16:47,866 For salvation. 2037 01:16:47,933 --> 01:16:48,166 Yeah. 2038 01:16:48,233 --> 01:16:50,633 We have we have our wages. 2039 01:16:50,699 --> 01:16:54,350 We have the, and I always, I think it's interesting that 2040 01:16:54,350 --> 01:16:57,100 he uses the phrase, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God. 2041 01:16:57,233 --> 01:17:00,233 everybody hears that and they think the wages are something 2042 01:17:00,233 --> 01:17:02,683 you're paid where you're saying, no, no, no, no. 2043 01:17:02,750 --> 01:17:05,750 In this, in that particular scripture, it's saying the, 2044 01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:08,983 the bill for your sin. 2045 01:17:09,050 --> 01:17:10,783 what you have to pay. 2046 01:17:10,850 --> 01:17:11,500 Yeah. 2047 01:17:11,516 --> 01:17:12,233 Yeah. 2048 01:17:12,300 --> 01:17:13,550 It's something you have to pay. 2049 01:17:13,616 --> 01:17:15,233 And he's already paid it on our behalf. 2050 01:17:15,300 --> 01:17:17,449 You can avoid all of this. 2051 01:17:17,516 --> 01:17:20,633 You can be in that white, in that white clad throng that 2052 01:17:20,633 --> 01:17:23,149 is watching all this happen and going, hallelujah. 2053 01:17:23,216 --> 01:17:25,916 That's the group I want to be a part of. 2054 01:17:25,983 --> 01:17:29,033 I don't want to be a part of the group that's standing here going, oh, I'm 2055 01:17:29,033 --> 01:17:30,283 about to just, you know, explode. 2056 01:17:30,350 --> 01:17:33,949 I mean, it's a culmination of, you know, people 2057 01:17:33,949 --> 01:17:37,000 are just so frustrated with the, there's evil in the world. 2058 01:17:37,083 --> 01:17:39,949 Well, you know, God is going to put an end to it. 2059 01:17:40,016 --> 01:17:41,683 And you better be with him. 2060 01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:42,350 That's right 2061 01:17:42,533 --> 01:17:42,949 That's right 2062 01:17:43,083 --> 01:17:44,883 And we got a choice, man. 2063 01:17:44,933 --> 01:17:46,066 Got a choice. 2064 01:17:46,133 --> 01:17:47,033 Absolutely. 2065 01:17:47,033 --> 01:17:49,066 We weren't predestined for this or that. 2066 01:17:49,133 --> 01:17:52,899 You can choose right now to accept him as your Lord and Savior. 2067 01:17:52,983 --> 01:17:54,116 Yep. 2068 01:17:54,183 --> 01:17:56,516 Just turn, walk, turn, turn away. 2069 01:17:56,633 --> 01:17:57,233 You have to repent. 2070 01:17:57,300 --> 01:17:58,366 There is repentance. 2071 01:17:58,433 --> 01:18:00,350 But again, that's... 2072 01:18:00,416 --> 01:18:00,766 Yeah. 2073 01:18:00,833 --> 01:18:02,566 It's just saying, God, I'm sorry. 2074 01:18:02,633 --> 01:18:05,633 All the mystery that we come up with in the background of how 2075 01:18:05,633 --> 01:18:08,800 all this works and everything, it's just as simple as saying Jesus saved me. 2076 01:18:08,883 --> 01:18:09,483 That's right 2077 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:10,550 Yep. 2078 01:18:10,550 --> 01:18:10,966 Amen. 2079 01:18:11,033 --> 01:18:12,883 Nothing, nothing more complicated. 2080 01:18:12,949 --> 01:18:15,766 If it was more complicated than that, you wouldn't see kids getting saved. 2081 01:18:15,833 --> 01:18:16,433 right. 2082 01:18:16,500 --> 01:18:17,266 Amen. 2083 01:18:17,283 --> 01:18:19,616 And we are told to have a childlike faith. 2084 01:18:19,683 --> 01:18:20,933 And that's what it looks like. 2085 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,800 And he'll change you. 2086 01:18:22,850 --> 01:18:23,500 He'll change it. 2087 01:18:23,583 --> 01:18:26,583 If you just deny yourself and follow him, he'll change you over the course of 2088 01:18:26,583 --> 01:18:27,949 the rest of your life into something beautiful. 2089 01:18:28,016 --> 01:18:28,783 Amen. 2090 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,416 It grows fruit inside of us. 2091 01:18:30,483 --> 01:18:33,300 Yep, it makes us something that we can't be on our own. 2092 01:18:33,350 --> 01:18:35,199 And it's a process. 2093 01:18:35,283 --> 01:18:38,100 It is a continuing process day by day. 2094 01:18:38,149 --> 01:18:38,983 It's beautiful thing. 2095 01:18:39,050 --> 01:18:40,116 We should worship. 2096 01:18:40,199 --> 01:18:43,366 It's where we're designed to be, you know, we're designed to be in relationship with 2097 01:18:43,383 --> 01:18:45,783 him in an intimate relationship that we talked about. 2098 01:18:45,833 --> 01:18:46,250 That's right. 2099 01:18:46,250 --> 01:18:48,350 And anything outside of that. 2100 01:18:48,416 --> 01:18:50,333 We're a mess. 2101 01:18:50,399 --> 01:18:50,866 Yes.

01:19:40,666 Amen 2128 01:19:40,850 --> 01:19:44,500 Yeah, I say, yeah, I say the world, but this is evil being removed from everything. 2129 01:19:44,583 --> 01:19:46,083 Not just the world. 2130 01:19:46,133 --> 01:19:47,683 I mean, not, you know, the world in general. 2131 01:19:47,750 --> 01:19:50,500 removed from us because it's being removed from everything in this. 2132 01:19:50,583 --> 01:19:54,050 And we're going to, and we're entering into the wonderful verses where, 2133 01:19:54,050 --> 01:19:56,016 where even Satan isn't allowed to do anything for a little bit. 2134 01:19:56,100 --> 01:19:56,933 Yeah. 2135 01:19:56,933 --> 01:20:00,766 He gets he gets locked up and he gets told, hey, you get a time out. 2136 01:20:00,833 --> 01:20:04,183 time out before his... 2137 01:20:04,199 --> 01:20:05,933 Daddy gives him a time out before his judgment. 2138 01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,500 before his ultimate destruction. 2139 01:20:07,550 --> 01:20:11,016 You know, and and man, that is incredible to me. 2140 01:20:11,100 --> 01:20:14,100 God is still, 2141 01:20:14,100 --> 01:20:16,800 he reached down, he goes, I'm going to stop you for a little bit. 2142 01:20:16,850 --> 01:20:18,283 He doesn't judge him right then. 2143 01:20:18,350 --> 01:20:20,866 He doesn't treat Satan the same way he treats the 2 we just saw. 2144 01:20:20,933 --> 01:20:24,050 Well, he's got a reason, though, and we see that reason 2145 01:20:24,050 --> 01:20:25,116 in chapter 20. 2146 01:20:25,616 --> 01:20:26,516 There is a reason for it. 2147 01:20:26,583 --> 01:20:27,300 This is a depth. 2148 01:20:27,350 --> 01:20:28,550 Yeah, we'll get into the depth. 2149 01:20:28,616 --> 01:20:29,633 Still sovereign, ain't he? 2150 01:20:29,699 --> 01:20:30,533 Still sovereign. 2151 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,633 But the fact is, he still gives him that. 2152 01:20:32,699 --> 01:20:33,466 Here. 2153 01:20:33,533 --> 01:20:34,550 Take time out. 2154 01:20:34,616 --> 01:20:35,933 We're gonna do our thing. 2155 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,633 And then, you know, we get into what comes next. 2156 01:20:38,699 --> 01:20:41,750 But goodness, that is just, again, it shows 2157 01:20:41,750 --> 01:20:43,416 the mercy and grace of God. 2158 01:20:43,500 --> 01:20:46,500 Instead of destroying him out, right, he goes, 2159 01:20:46,500 --> 01:20:47,933 I'm still going to give everybody a chance. 2160 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,116 I'm still giving everybody their choice and I'm still giving everybody the 2161 01:20:51,116 --> 01:20:53,333 chance to make the right decision. 2162 01:20:53,399 --> 01:20:55,016 And unfortunately, to have that chance. 2163 01:20:55,083 --> 01:20:57,300 You got to be faced with the devil. 2164 01:20:57,350 --> 01:20:59,800 You got to be faced with the evil that he brought into the world. 2165 01:20:59,883 --> 01:21:03,233 So you can't take him out yet because the rest of us still have to be faced with it. 2166 01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:04,500 You got to overcome. 2167 01:21:04,550 --> 01:21:06,166 You know, that's 1st 3 chapters. 2168 01:21:06,233 --> 01:21:07,000 That's right. 2169 01:21:07,016 --> 01:21:07,433 Yes. 2170 01:21:07,500 --> 01:21:08,399 Who he will overcome. 2171 01:21:08,449 --> 01:21:08,916 That's right. 2172 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:10,016 There's a there's a blessing. 2173 01:21:10,083 --> 01:21:11,449
