1
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,516
Um, so we're going to do something a little bit new, uh, this time

2
00:01:14,516 --> 00:01:17,566
as we move, uh, move into some stuff going on

3
00:01:17,566 --> 00:01:19,366
this summer where we're kind of busy.

4
00:01:19,433 --> 00:01:22,433
So we'll be doing pre-recording and then just

5
00:01:22,433 --> 00:01:24,533
putting everything together and throw it out there.

6
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:27,599
I'll be looking, most of

7
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:30,650
the platforms support something called an

8
00:01:30,650 --> 00:01:33,049
instant premiere or a live premiere.

9
00:01:33,116 --> 00:01:36,116
So we may see about setting it up to where I've got

10
00:01:36,116 --> 00:01:37,250
to check and see exactly how that works.

11
00:01:37,316 --> 00:01:38,566
So we may set up and do it that way.

12
00:01:38,633 --> 00:01:41,933
And then if I can find out what times people

13
00:01:41,933 --> 00:01:45,049
are normally on the platforms, I would be able to schedule

14
00:01:45,049 --> 00:01:48,099
the live premiere to go live and then if one of us just happens to be able

15
00:01:48,116 --> 00:01:51,116
to hop online, we might be able to hop on and like try to get people

16
00:01:51,116 --> 00:01:52,316
to actually chat a little bit.

17
00:01:52,366 --> 00:01:52,900
Oh, yeah.

18
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:55,916
Because it's kind of hard to do when you're doing the talking and the recording

19
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:58,133
and the...

20
00:01:58,133 --> 00:02:01,549
So we'll try that for a little while and see how it goes.

21
00:02:01,616 --> 00:02:04,616
But this gives us the ability if we, you

22
00:02:04,616 --> 00:02:07,666
know, especially on a Sunday night or whatever day during the week we

23
00:02:07,666 --> 00:02:10,666
get, we can do multiple episodes together and just,

24
00:02:10,666 --> 00:02:12,516
you know, cut them up and move on.

25
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:14,216
So if we have to skip a week, it's not a big deal.

26
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,616
All right.

27
00:02:16,666 --> 00:02:19,666
So last time, like a month and a half ago,

28
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:22,250
yeah, it's been a while, man.

29
00:02:22,316 --> 00:02:25,483
We, uh, we made it through Revelation 21

30
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,666
and we're now on 22 and we kind of left everybody hanging.

31
00:02:28,733 --> 00:02:30,466
Now that's how you get people back.

32
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:33,283
A cliffhanger right before the last chapter.

33
00:02:33,949 --> 00:02:36,050
How does this thing end?

34
00:02:36,116 --> 00:02:36,766
Yeah.

35
00:02:36,766 --> 00:02:38,683
We gotta know.

36
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:39,650
We got to know.

37
00:02:39,833 --> 00:02:43,366
Oh, so we're going to dive in and we'll

38
00:02:43,366 --> 00:02:46,599
be able to cover this last part and man, this is a,

39
00:02:46,616 --> 00:02:49,133
it's a, it's not a terribly long chapter.

40
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,550
It's not, you know, not just, you

41
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:55,716
know, over, overly wordy or anything, but it is, uh, it's dense

42
00:02:55,733 --> 00:02:58,733
and it gets a lot of information in there and it gets a lot of really,

43
00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:01,133
really good, good things to talk about in it.

44
00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:04,366
I always love that last little bit here.

45
00:03:04,433 --> 00:03:06,583
So we'll be diving into that tonight.

46
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:09,699
Revelation 22, one.

47
00:03:09,766 --> 00:03:11,016
Who wants to start?

48
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:12,166
Yeah, man.

49
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:15,650
we've got, we've got a little background here.

50
00:03:15,716 --> 00:03:17,216
We're seeing the new Jerusalem.

51
00:03:17,266 --> 00:03:17,733
Yeah.

52
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:18,400
Right.

53
00:03:18,466 --> 00:03:21,033
The new Jerusalem, and nothing clean there.

54
00:03:21,166 --> 00:03:23,983
And I think what we're about to see.

55
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:25,550
Well, I'll go ahead and read verse one.

56
00:03:25,616 --> 00:03:28,666
It says, then he showed me a river of the water of

57
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:31,783
life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,766
of God and of the lamb.

59
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:37,250
And that reminds me of a,

60
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:39,283
shall we gather at the river?

61
00:03:39,349 --> 00:03:40,183
Yeah.

62
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:41,400
That's where that song comes from.

63
00:03:41,449 --> 00:03:42,099
Absolutely.

64
00:03:42,716 --> 00:03:43,066
absolutely.

65
00:03:43,133 --> 00:03:43,550
Yeah.

66
00:03:43,616 --> 00:03:48,533
And that's this is a picture to me too of a

67
00:03:48,533 --> 00:03:49,666
new and better Eden.

68
00:03:50,216 --> 00:03:53,383
You know, God created the Garden of Eden is

69
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,516
the perfect place for for a couple of almost perfect people.

70
00:03:56,566 --> 00:03:57,283
Right.

71
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:58,916
It could have been perfect people.

72
00:03:58,966 --> 00:04:02,683
And he's, excuse me, he's doing it better this time.

73
00:04:02,750 --> 00:04:03,583
It's even better.

74
00:04:03,650 --> 00:04:07,933
Yeah, you know, we, here we are, um,

75
00:04:07,949 --> 00:04:11,866
like you said, a better, a better eating, a good, a good description of it.

76
00:04:11,933 --> 00:04:15,533
Uh, it's it's an Eden without uh,

77
00:04:15,533 --> 00:04:16,600
possibility of seeing.

78
00:04:16,666 --> 00:04:19,666
There was that possibility before, you know?

79
00:04:20,033 --> 00:04:24,100
Our free will has been exercised

80
00:04:24,116 --> 00:04:25,133
at this point.

81
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:26,399
The choice has been made right.

82
00:04:26,449 --> 00:04:27,350
The choice has been made.

83
00:04:27,416 --> 00:04:29,083
So it's not out there.

84
00:04:29,149 --> 00:04:32,199
God's like, okay, he's not out there going, okay, I'm going to give you more

85
00:04:32,216 --> 00:04:35,266
choices you can mess up with, you know, he's

86
00:04:35,266 --> 00:04:36,516
like, you've made the choice.

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,800
The angels have made their choice.

88
00:04:37,850 --> 00:04:41,149
Uh, the, the children have

89
00:04:41,149 --> 00:04:42,516
made their choice.

90
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,000
The lost have made their choice.

91
00:04:45,050 --> 00:04:48,516
Everybody's where they're going to be for eternity at this time.

92
00:04:48,533 --> 00:04:50,866
And we just get to enjoy it.

93
00:04:50,933 --> 00:04:52,899
You know, we just get to be a part of it.

94
00:04:52,966 --> 00:04:55,966
We get to bask in it and and uh, yeah,

95
00:04:55,966 --> 00:04:59,800
it's, uh, until this point, everything we,

96
00:04:59,816 --> 00:05:03,050
we, we have seen uh, had to do with precious

97
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:04,116
jewels and gold.

98
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,316
But now we see some things that make

99
00:05:07,316 --> 00:05:10,616
us feel a little bit more at home, I think, you know, uh, we

100
00:05:10,616 --> 00:05:14,033
we find a river of of living, uh,

101
00:05:14,033 --> 00:05:18,083
water and a tree of life and and, uh,

102
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:21,716
one was found in the garden and the other was not before, right?

103
00:05:21,766 --> 00:05:24,766
So, so there's some things that we look at.

104
00:05:24,833 --> 00:05:25,850
We said, oh, there's a river.

105
00:05:25,916 --> 00:05:28,916
We get the, there's a body of water here, you

106
00:05:28,916 --> 00:05:30,283
know, there's trees here.

107
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:30,949
Clear.

108
00:05:31,016 --> 00:05:31,916
Crystal clear.

109
00:05:31,966 --> 00:05:35,683
I had written down here about one

110
00:05:35,699 --> 00:05:38,816
of the prophecies about this river, and I think this may

111
00:05:38,816 --> 00:05:42,766
be a prophecy, more of the millennial kingdom, and Zechariah 14, 8.

112
00:05:42,833 --> 00:05:46,133
It says in that day, living waters will flow out of Jerusalem,

113
00:05:46,133 --> 00:05:49,483
half of them toward the eastern sea, and the other half toward the western sea.

114
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:52,366
will be in summer as well as winter, living waters.

115
00:05:52,433 --> 00:05:54,399
These living waters that are coming out.

116
00:05:54,466 --> 00:05:58,233
And this makes me think of the

117
00:05:58,250 --> 00:05:59,800
spirit out of a believer.

118
00:06:00,949 --> 00:06:03,000
Today, today I had the best day.

119
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:06,649
You know, I go to these assisted living places and I was at one this morning and

120
00:06:06,649 --> 00:06:09,816
we just had church, buddy, and just about every song I sang,

121
00:06:09,833 --> 00:06:13,000
I'm singing these old hymns and playing guitar with them and just

122
00:06:13,016 --> 00:06:16,483
I'm going through them and I've got chill bumps on my arms and I'm just singing,

123
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,500
you know, and I could just feel the spirit the whole time I was there.

124
00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:22,899
And it just felt like living water coming out of me.

125
00:06:22,966 --> 00:06:24,466
And I know you felt this.

126
00:06:24,533 --> 00:06:25,250
Oh, yeah.

127
00:06:25,250 --> 00:06:25,550
Oh, yeah.

128
00:06:25,616 --> 00:06:28,483
Just, you just feel the spirit pouring out of you.

129
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:31,300
And not just pouring into you, pouring through you.

130
00:06:31,366 --> 00:06:33,333
And that's just an awesome feeling.

131
00:06:33,416 --> 00:06:36,416
And I love that, that the river of water

132
00:06:36,416 --> 00:06:40,016
of life clearest crystal coming from the throne of

133
00:06:40,016 --> 00:06:41,033
God and of the lamb.

134
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,100
And that applies to us right now, don't it?

135
00:06:44,149 --> 00:06:46,116
Yes, yeah, it's coming from the giver of life himself.

136
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:46,916
Yeah.

137
00:06:46,966 --> 00:06:48,166
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

138
00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:49,250
he, you're right.

139
00:06:49,316 --> 00:06:50,383
He's feeding us right now.

140
00:06:50,449 --> 00:06:53,199
He's giving us what we stand in need of.

141
00:06:53,216 --> 00:06:56,266
And, uh, God, what,

142
00:06:56,266 --> 00:06:57,933
it's just, it's just, it's beautiful.

143
00:06:58,016 --> 00:06:58,733
It's beautiful.

144
00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,216
It is.

145
00:06:59,216 --> 00:07:00,883
It's a beautiful picture here.

146
00:07:01,016 --> 00:07:01,783
It's perfect.

147
00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:02,983
Yeah.

148
00:07:03,050 --> 00:07:06,949
He tells a little bit more about that tree in verse in verse two.

149
00:07:07,016 --> 00:07:08,083
Can I read that?

150
00:07:08,149 --> 00:07:11,149
In the midst of the street of it, in either side

151
00:07:11,149 --> 00:07:14,316
of the river, was there the tree of life,

152
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:18,233
which bear 12 manner of fruits, and

153
00:07:18,233 --> 00:07:22,133
yielded her fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree were

154
00:07:22,133 --> 00:07:24,283
for the healing of the nation.

155
00:07:24,416 --> 00:07:27,716
So for the tree of life, bears 12 types

156
00:07:27,716 --> 00:07:30,716
of fruit, which are replenished every single

157
00:07:30,716 --> 00:07:33,883
month telling us that there will be an

158
00:07:33,899 --> 00:07:37,616
abundance of food in the New Jerusalem.

159
00:07:37,666 --> 00:07:37,966
Amen.

160
00:07:37,966 --> 00:07:38,500
Amen.

161
00:07:38,633 --> 00:07:39,350
Praise the Lord.

162
00:07:39,766 --> 00:07:41,683
one of the fruit is steak.

163
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:42,949
There'll be steak fruit.

164
00:07:43,016 --> 00:07:46,016
They'll be chicken fruit, fried chicken fruit, they'll

165
00:07:46,016 --> 00:07:49,016
be hot apple pie fruit, you know, I

166
00:07:49,016 --> 00:07:50,449
mean, you know, whatever.

167
00:07:50,516 --> 00:07:53,683
I think whatever you want it to taste like, is what it's going to taste like.

168
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:58,433
But there's going to be abundance of food there and it's also telling us

169
00:07:58,433 --> 00:08:00,399
that we will eat and drink there.

170
00:08:00,466 --> 00:08:01,416
Yeah, right?

171
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,550
There wouldn't be fruit and it wouldn't have to be replenished if we

172
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:06,766
didn't get to if we didn't get to partake of it, right?

173
00:08:06,899 --> 00:08:10,316
Except this time, it's not for the necessarily

174
00:08:10,316 --> 00:08:13,183
for us to be sustained.

175
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:14,316
He's sustaining us.

176
00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:17,449
I mean, it does it does tell us there that those leaves are

177
00:08:17,449 --> 00:08:19,000
for the healing of the nations.

178
00:08:19,066 --> 00:08:22,066
But it's just fruit that we get to enjoy.

179
00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:25,666
It's like, this time, all the stuff that kills us here would

180
00:08:25,666 --> 00:08:26,683
just enjoy there.

181
00:08:26,750 --> 00:08:28,183
Yeah, it'll be perfectly healthy.

182
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:32,100
I mean, it's true because, you know, Jesus shows up.

183
00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:35,016
He shows up to the 11 disciples.

184
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:36,350
I guess, you know, that was left.

185
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:38,450
And he said, you got anything to eat?

186
00:08:38,516 --> 00:08:38,750
Right.

187
00:08:38,816 --> 00:08:39,049
Yeah.

188
00:08:39,116 --> 00:08:42,533
And then later, he's like cooking up breakfast on the floor.

189
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,549
Isn't that awesome?

190
00:08:43,616 --> 00:08:45,716
Our savior is cooking up bread.

191
00:08:45,766 --> 00:08:46,116
I know.

192
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,799
I mean, you know?

193
00:08:46,850 --> 00:08:47,683
Yeah.

194
00:08:47,750 --> 00:08:51,399
So so it's just, um, it's a wonderful thing.

195
00:08:51,850 --> 00:08:54,950
The only thing is, it doesn't say anything about

196
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:58,066
meat here, which gives us an indication that there

197
00:08:58,066 --> 00:09:01,116
will be, it'll be like it was

198
00:09:01,133 --> 00:09:05,333
in the Garden of Eden, and there'll be only, only fruits, but I, again.

199
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:06,466
excuse me.

200
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,016
I think the flavors of the fruits are going to be

201
00:09:10,016 --> 00:09:12,049
out of this world out of this world.

202
00:09:12,166 --> 00:09:13,966
Blow anything away that we got now.

203
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:17,216
One thing I really liked about this is, you

204
00:09:17,216 --> 00:09:18,466
know, you remember the Garden of Eden?

205
00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:19,850
There were 2 special trees.

206
00:09:19,916 --> 00:09:20,333
Yeah.

207
00:09:20,333 --> 00:09:24,049
Tree of life and a tree of the knowledge of tree and evil or the tree of death.

208
00:09:24,116 --> 00:09:25,433
is what it was.

209
00:09:25,733 --> 00:09:26,266
It ain't here.

210
00:09:26,333 --> 00:09:27,100
It's not.

211
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:28,533
That choice is done.

212
00:09:28,616 --> 00:09:30,233
Again, yeah, we don't have to worry about that.

213
00:09:30,299 --> 00:09:32,633
These are things that we can all take care of.

214
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:35,399
And even the leaves here are beneficial, right?

215
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:38,383
They are for the healing of those who are on the earth.

216
00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:41,683
I believe those healing of the nations, that's for the people who

217
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:42,833
are living here on earth.

218
00:09:42,899 --> 00:09:46,549
That's for the those who came through the great tribulation.

219
00:09:46,616 --> 00:09:49,850
Those who lived through all that and

220
00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:53,616
and here's

221
00:09:53,633 --> 00:09:56,683
one that I really can't answer for you.

222
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,066
If everything is perfect.

223
00:09:59,149 --> 00:10:00,649
Why is healing needed?

224
00:10:00,716 --> 00:10:01,366
Yeah.

225
00:10:02,149 --> 00:10:03,416
It's perfect for us.

226
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:07,133
You know, it's perfect for us, for sure,

227
00:10:07,133 --> 00:10:11,033
but perhaps maybe their bodies are not exactly like ours.

228
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:12,416
I don't know.

229
00:10:12,466 --> 00:10:13,483
I don't know.

230
00:10:13,549 --> 00:10:16,549
We got to figure these guys were born during, like

231
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:18,216
you said, the tribulation of the millennium.

232
00:10:18,299 --> 00:10:18,833
Yeah, yeah.

233
00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:23,633
And they made it out of the old earth that's been destroyed and into the new somehow.

234
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:24,466
Yeah.

235
00:10:24,466 --> 00:10:27,466
This is where I guess it doesn't explicitly say that

236
00:10:27,466 --> 00:10:28,716
there's people there, but it does.

237
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:29,399
It says that.

238
00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:31,183
There's people there, evidently.

239
00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:32,200
Yeah, yeah.

240
00:10:32,266 --> 00:10:35,566
And so, yeah, when they come to the new Jerusalem,

241
00:10:35,566 --> 00:10:39,033
that's where they'll, maybe they'll be replenished there, but honestly,

242
00:10:39,049 --> 00:10:43,116
I really, I really don't know and neither

243
00:10:43,133 --> 00:10:45,399
do any other scholars that I've read.

244
00:10:45,466 --> 00:10:45,883
I've never

245
00:10:46,433 --> 00:10:49,433
I've never read a commentary that's been able to explain why

246
00:10:49,433 --> 00:10:51,583
that healing.

247
00:10:51,649 --> 00:10:55,250
So, you know, we've talked about when that

248
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:57,216
group of people may get their new bodies.

249
00:10:57,299 --> 00:10:58,616
Well, I don't know.

250
00:10:58,666 --> 00:10:59,733
I mean, do they?

251
00:10:59,816 --> 00:11:00,649
I don't know.

252
00:11:00,899 --> 00:11:03,899
They've probably got a body that's much better than what

253
00:11:03,899 --> 00:11:06,899
we had, but maybe they have to eat of this or

254
00:11:06,899 --> 00:11:08,450
these leaves have to sustain them.

255
00:11:08,516 --> 00:11:11,566
You know, and it's one of the interesting things in this because that

256
00:11:11,566 --> 00:11:14,733
tree, the tree of life there, it says it bears 12

257
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:18,049
manner of fruits has 12 different kinds

258
00:11:18,049 --> 00:11:20,149
of fruit, no tree.

259
00:11:20,216 --> 00:11:23,633
You will not find a tree anywhere on earth that literally will grow.

260
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,700
You might find some kind of a hybrid that can get one or,

261
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:30,116
you know, can maybe get either a hybrid fruit or 2 separate fruits,

262
00:11:30,116 --> 00:11:33,233
but you're going to notice that the part that gives you each fruit is unique

263
00:11:33,233 --> 00:11:35,383
and is just growing out of the other tree.

264
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:39,166
This is a single tree producing 12 kinds of fruit.

265
00:11:39,233 --> 00:11:42,766
Again, that reference to the tribes of Israel there.

266
00:11:42,833 --> 00:11:46,066
And then you have that, the leaves of the tree where

267
00:11:46,066 --> 00:11:47,200
for the healing of nations.

268
00:11:47,266 --> 00:11:49,833
Well, trees have way more leaves than they have fruit.

269
00:11:49,916 --> 00:11:50,450
Yeah.

270
00:11:50,450 --> 00:11:53,566
And so I've never been 100% clear

271
00:11:53,566 --> 00:11:56,983
if this is a literal thing that he's seeing or if it is a representation

272
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,700
of something that he just, there was no other way to describe it.

273
00:11:59,750 --> 00:12:03,166
And this may be something that does have some kind of a, um,

274
00:12:03,166 --> 00:12:06,283
uh, almost a prophetic analog type thing where

275
00:12:06,299 --> 00:12:09,350
there's going to be something that will explain this and it will make

276
00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:11,450
sense to us one way or the other, you know, on the other side.

277
00:12:11,516 --> 00:12:14,750
But I've always looked at this and going, huh, I wonder why

278
00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:18,166
he described it exactly this way because, I mean, the description here,

279
00:12:18,166 --> 00:12:21,283
by the way, is of a massive river, because it's pouring

280
00:12:21,299 --> 00:12:25,250
out from the throne of God and the lamb, it's

281
00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:27,950
in the middle of the street of the city and the tree is on either side of it.

282
00:12:28,016 --> 00:12:30,833
This is a huge tree straddling that river.

283
00:12:30,899 --> 00:12:31,799
Yeah.

284
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:32,149
Yeah.

285
00:12:32,216 --> 00:12:33,716
I mean, amazing.

286
00:12:33,766 --> 00:12:35,799
I mean, this is this is an incredible thing.

287
00:12:35,866 --> 00:12:38,866
So like I say, I don't know what, I don't know if this was something

288
00:12:38,866 --> 00:12:42,516
that was maybe is, is, we've suddenly,

289
00:12:42,533 --> 00:12:45,583
at this point shifted a little bit into some of those prophetic visions where

290
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,250
it's, uh, there's something to be interpreted here, but there's

291
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:52,066
also nothing anywhere that seems to point us to any kind of interpretation.

292
00:12:52,133 --> 00:12:55,733
Well, you know, something else that maybe this is a little bit of a hint, right?

293
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:59,616
It just implicitly says that there's going to be people.

294
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:02,333
We don't know how many, could be millions, could be billions.

295
00:13:02,450 --> 00:13:03,700
We don't know, have we?

296
00:13:03,766 --> 00:13:07,366
But it does kind of hint that we'll have a ministry somehow involved.

297
00:13:07,433 --> 00:13:09,049
Yeah, we're going to have work today.

298
00:13:09,116 --> 00:13:09,766
Yeah.

299
00:13:09,766 --> 00:13:12,283
All of us will have a job.

300
00:13:12,299 --> 00:13:12,766
Yeah.

301
00:13:12,766 --> 00:13:15,100
I might be, you know, going and fetching leaves.

302
00:13:15,166 --> 00:13:16,000
Yeah, yeah.

303
00:13:16,066 --> 00:13:17,016
Right, right.

304
00:13:17,149 --> 00:13:17,750
Right.

305
00:13:17,816 --> 00:13:19,366
That's what he wants me to do.

306
00:13:19,433 --> 00:13:22,733
I'll, man, I'll, I'll fetch leaves and wash feet.

307
00:13:22,799 --> 00:13:23,399
I don't care.

308
00:13:23,816 --> 00:13:27,716
And that's really what we should be willing to do here too.

309
00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:28,899
Absolutely.

310
00:13:28,966 --> 00:13:29,566
Yeah, absolutely.

311
00:13:29,633 --> 00:13:30,466
We should be serving.

312
00:13:30,533 --> 00:13:31,299
Always.

313
00:13:31,366 --> 00:13:35,500
But with this, but with this, I mean, think about who's

314
00:13:35,516 --> 00:13:38,683
the source of all goodness, of all love, all

315
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:41,149
joy, of all peace, and we'll be living in that.

316
00:13:42,299 --> 00:13:43,616
They won't be a bad day.

317
00:13:43,666 --> 00:13:44,783
No, no.

318
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:47,399
You will not have a grouty day.

319
00:13:47,450 --> 00:13:49,299
Oh, yeah, it's not going to be a terrible day.

320
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:50,399
Nobody's going to die.

321
00:13:50,450 --> 00:13:51,649
Nobody's going to get sick.

322
00:13:51,716 --> 00:13:54,716
So it's not like, you know, 0 my

323
00:13:54,716 --> 00:13:57,716
gosh, we got to rush these leaves to them because they're going to die.

324
00:13:57,766 --> 00:13:58,666
Get the ambulance.

325
00:13:58,733 --> 00:14:01,966
It's, you know, everything's perfect and in order and

326
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:05,866
just the way it should be and everything's gonna work like it's supposed to.

327
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,350
Right.

328
00:14:06,350 --> 00:14:08,450
Yeah, in perfect order.

329
00:14:08,516 --> 00:14:09,416
So, yeah.

330
00:14:09,466 --> 00:14:10,600
Oh, it's good stuff.

331
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:12,600
That's good stuff.

332
00:14:12,649 --> 00:14:13,066
Where are we at?

333
00:14:13,133 --> 00:14:13,433
V three?

334
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:13,733
Three?

335
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:14,100
Yes.

336
00:14:14,450 --> 00:14:16,433
There will no longer be any curse.

337
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:19,500
And the throne of God and of the lamb will be in it, and his

338
00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:20,933
bond servants will serve him.

339
00:14:22,049 --> 00:14:23,216
No longer any curse.

340
00:14:23,266 --> 00:14:23,799
Yeah.

341
00:14:23,816 --> 00:14:26,566
You know, we're about to hit Genesis, right?

342
00:14:26,566 --> 00:14:27,766
On our next study.

343
00:14:27,899 --> 00:14:29,866
And that's where the curse started.

344
00:14:29,933 --> 00:14:33,100
The curse started and what all was involved in the curse.

345
00:14:33,166 --> 00:14:35,083
It was childbirth and pain.

346
00:14:35,149 --> 00:14:38,200
It was Adam having to sweat by the sweat of his brow

347
00:14:38,216 --> 00:14:40,316
working with the briars and all that stuff, you know?

348
00:14:40,366 --> 00:14:41,866
Animals against men.

349
00:14:41,933 --> 00:14:42,766
Yeah.

350
00:14:42,766 --> 00:14:44,866
All these curses and the earth groans.

351
00:14:44,933 --> 00:14:46,299
It groans right now.

352
00:14:46,366 --> 00:14:46,966
Exactly.

353
00:14:46,966 --> 00:14:49,416
And so do we in our in our spirits.

354
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:50,750
That's gone.

355
00:14:50,816 --> 00:14:51,649
That's right.

356
00:14:51,716 --> 00:14:52,250
That's right.

357
00:14:52,366 --> 00:14:52,600
Yeah.

358
00:14:52,666 --> 00:14:53,083
It's gone.

359
00:14:53,149 --> 00:14:53,799
It is.

360
00:14:53,866 --> 00:14:54,216
It is.

361
00:14:54,299 --> 00:14:55,549
Don't have to worry about that.

362
00:14:55,616 --> 00:14:58,616
The throne of God and the throne of Christ here.

363
00:14:58,666 --> 00:15:00,216
their dwelling place.

364
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:03,716
We reside with them because,

365
00:15:03,716 --> 00:15:06,716
uh, because they are there,

366
00:15:06,716 --> 00:15:08,266
sin will never be present.

367
00:15:08,333 --> 00:15:09,233
Right?

368
00:15:09,299 --> 00:15:12,350
I mean, just the presence of them, if you're saying, well, how,

369
00:15:12,350 --> 00:15:15,583
you know, how they're going to keep saying that because he's there because his presence

370
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,299
is there and he won't stand for it, right?

371
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:20,616
There won't be there'll be no more sin.

372
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:26,033
Four and five?

373
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:26,816
Can we read four?

374
00:15:26,866 --> 00:15:27,766
Yeah, yeah.

375
00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:30,950
And they shall see his face and his name

376
00:15:30,950 --> 00:15:34,250
shall be in their foreheads, and there shall be no night there,

377
00:15:34,250 --> 00:15:37,250
and they need no candle,

378
00:15:37,250 --> 00:15:40,250
neither lie to the sun for the

379
00:15:40,250 --> 00:15:44,266
Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign forever and ever.

380
00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:48,883
So we're going to serve Jesus,

381
00:15:48,899 --> 00:15:50,866
meaning we'll work for him, right?

382
00:15:50,933 --> 00:15:52,366
Like we were just talking about.

383
00:15:52,433 --> 00:15:54,399
I don't know how.

384
00:15:54,466 --> 00:15:56,133
I don't know what kind.

385
00:15:56,549 --> 00:15:59,333
But again, maybe maybe we're leaf distributors.

386
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:01,500
I don't know, but we will work.

387
00:16:01,549 --> 00:16:05,383
Um, and I, you know, guy, they're sad.

388
00:16:05,450 --> 00:16:09,350
I think I think one reason we work because there's satisfaction in a job well done.

389
00:16:09,416 --> 00:16:10,250
You know?

390
00:16:10,316 --> 00:16:11,033
I mean, I love

391
00:16:11,333 --> 00:16:14,383
I think here, you know, when you, when you, when you build something when

392
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:17,750
you accomplish something, when you, you have a good day at work,

393
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:20,983
you know, and you know that you made a difference in some way, somehow

394
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,116
that day, um, you, you stand back

395
00:16:24,116 --> 00:16:26,816
and look at what, at what you've been able to,

396
00:16:26,866 --> 00:16:27,283
accomplish.

397
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:29,616
There's there's satisfaction in that.

398
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:34,733
So, um, We'll be stamped by the savior.

399
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:38,816
We are he is throughout all eternity.

400
00:16:38,866 --> 00:16:40,299
Yeah, and instant access.

401
00:16:40,366 --> 00:16:41,383
Yes.

402
00:16:41,450 --> 00:16:43,066
Instant accident will see his face.

403
00:16:43,133 --> 00:16:43,666
That's right

404
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:45,716
No one has seen the father at any time.

405
00:16:46,016 --> 00:16:47,750
We'll see the father.

406
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:53,149
And then and then there's no light.

407
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:55,850
No outside light, right?

408
00:16:55,916 --> 00:16:59,149
Because Christ will light it all up and

409
00:16:59,149 --> 00:17:02,266
we will be giving rain with him.

410
00:17:02,450 --> 00:17:04,483
Rain, rain.

411
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:05,799
That's a strong word, man.

412
00:17:05,866 --> 00:17:06,633
It is, yeah.

413
00:17:06,716 --> 00:17:09,883
That's a royal, royal name, a royal priesthood, holy name.

414
00:17:09,950 --> 00:17:10,716
Holy nation.

415
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:14,400
I mean, again, I

416
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,133
don't know exactly what will reign over.

417
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,716
Maybe what's on earth, maybe what's going on on earth.

418
00:17:18,766 --> 00:17:21,400
Maybe, you know, that kind of thing, like we've talked about.

419
00:17:21,466 --> 00:17:24,700
There's got to be some connection there between us

420
00:17:24,716 --> 00:17:28,016
raining and and I think what's what's going on in

421
00:17:28,016 --> 00:17:31,316
the earth itself because everybody that's in New Jerusalem

422
00:17:31,316 --> 00:17:32,566
is the church.

423
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,299
And so I think we'll reign over whatever else is there.

424
00:17:36,349 --> 00:17:37,116
Yeah.

425
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:38,150
Yeah.

426
00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:39,166
That's awesome

427
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:40,183
Wow.

428
00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:40,966
It's awesome.

429
00:17:41,033 --> 00:17:44,200
I got this picture in my mind of a, you know, there's no need of a sun,

430
00:17:44,216 --> 00:17:46,549
there's no need of a moon, none of that stuff.

431
00:17:46,616 --> 00:17:49,783
And we had this picture of the new Jerusalem

432
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:52,616
being made out of gold that's so pure, it's clear.

433
00:17:52,666 --> 00:17:53,566
Right, yeah.

434
00:17:53,566 --> 00:17:56,866
And the light of God shining out of this thing just illuminating the whole world.

435
00:17:56,933 --> 00:17:57,583
The whole world.

436
00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:58,783
Yeah, the whole world.

437
00:17:58,849 --> 00:17:59,450
Right.

438
00:17:59,450 --> 00:18:00,099
Night and day.

439
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:00,883
Yeah, yeah.

440
00:18:00,950 --> 00:18:02,916
I mean, well, day.

441
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,316
And there's not, right?

442
00:18:04,366 --> 00:18:06,516
And not only the world, the universe, right?

443
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:08,566
There's darkness in the universe now.

444
00:18:08,633 --> 00:18:09,883
There'll be no more darkness.

445
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:13,000
There'll be no more darkness anywhere that you

446
00:18:13,016 --> 00:18:15,166
may go to the light of Jesus Christ is there.

447
00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:16,250
Amen.

448
00:18:17,349 --> 00:18:17,933
Amen.

449
00:18:17,933 --> 00:18:19,133
Wonderful, wonderful.

450
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:19,966
All right.

451
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:21,099
Verse 6 and seven?

452
00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:21,583
Yeah.

453
00:18:21,650 --> 00:18:24,700
And he said to me, these words are faithful and true, and

454
00:18:24,716 --> 00:18:27,716
the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his

455
00:18:27,716 --> 00:18:31,433
angel to show to his bondservants, the things which must soon take place.

456
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:33,766
And behold, I am coming quickly.

457
00:18:33,833 --> 00:18:37,250
Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.

458
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:42,766
So I want to take away I have from that is uh,

459
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:45,349
uh, he says I'm coming quickly.

460
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:49,183
And he wrote this 2000 years ago, almost, or probably, well, around 95

461
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,299
AD, however long that's been.

462
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:54,900
It hadn't been very quick when we think of it that way, right?

463
00:18:54,950 --> 00:18:58,000
But I think what he's talking about is that once these,

464
00:18:58,016 --> 00:19:00,950
once these events start, they're going to pop off.

465
00:19:01,016 --> 00:19:02,150
real quick.

466
00:19:02,216 --> 00:19:03,416
Yeah, absolutely.

467
00:19:03,466 --> 00:19:04,116
Yeah, absolutely.

468
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,666
And of course, we have to his quickly and our quickly,

469
00:19:07,666 --> 00:19:10,716
you know, maybe what he sees because

470
00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:13,900
he knows before behind, you know, I...

471
00:19:13,916 --> 00:19:14,450
Yeah, that's true.

472
00:19:16,299 --> 00:19:17,333
And here's the thing.

473
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,549
Whatever he says, you can take it to the bank.

474
00:19:19,616 --> 00:19:23,083
Don't dumb it down, make it symbolic.

475
00:19:23,633 --> 00:19:24,766
If it does not need to be.

476
00:19:24,833 --> 00:19:28,133
Don't spiritualize it, if it does not need to be, just

477
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,566
trust in it and believe in it.

478
00:19:30,116 --> 00:19:30,466
Right?

479
00:19:30,533 --> 00:19:32,450
That it's going to happen and it will.

480
00:19:32,516 --> 00:19:34,483
So yeah, he will come quickly.

481
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:37,599
He'll come rapidly and he's coming fast.

482
00:19:37,616 --> 00:19:41,033
And, um, there was a blessing

483
00:19:41,033 --> 00:19:44,150
to those who, who, there's a blessing to those who read this

484
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:47,316
book, at the beginning, and now we

485
00:19:47,333 --> 00:19:51,049
see another blessing here, at the end, right?

486
00:19:51,116 --> 00:19:54,533
He that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book,

487
00:19:54,533 --> 00:19:56,500
blessed is he, right?

488
00:19:56,566 --> 00:19:59,616
So, so we, we, we've already read one blessing that

489
00:19:59,633 --> 00:20:02,633
we got from, when at the beginning of this thing, and now here

490
00:20:02,633 --> 00:20:05,633
we are in the last chapter saying, hey, you made

491
00:20:05,633 --> 00:20:06,766
it to the end right here.

492
00:20:06,833 --> 00:20:07,733
See what I'm talking about.

493
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:08,750
See how blessed you are.

494
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:09,349
Yeah.

495
00:20:09,349 --> 00:20:12,400
And one of the big blessings out of this too is hope.

496
00:20:12,466 --> 00:20:13,116
Yeah.

497
00:20:13,133 --> 00:20:15,650
You know, if we didn't have the book of Revelation.

498
00:20:15,716 --> 00:20:16,849
We didn't have the book of Daniel.

499
00:20:16,966 --> 00:20:18,883
We didn't have all this prophetic stuff of end times.

500
00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:20,500
We wouldn't have much hope.

501
00:20:20,566 --> 00:20:22,833
We'd be like looking at the world around us going.

502
00:20:22,966 --> 00:20:23,616
What in the world?

503
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:24,400
Yeah.

504
00:20:26,099 --> 00:20:28,200
And if Jesus never promised to come back.

505
00:20:28,316 --> 00:20:29,566
I mean, we just be empty, man.

506
00:20:29,633 --> 00:20:30,950
That's right.

507
00:20:31,016 --> 00:20:33,233
We'd just be looking forward to death and that's it.

508
00:20:33,299 --> 00:20:33,900
absolutely.

509
00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:36,049
We know, we know.

510
00:20:36,116 --> 00:20:39,650
And we have no no reason in the world to not take this literally.

511
00:20:39,716 --> 00:20:41,816
Look at all the prophecies of Jesus 1st coming.

512
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:42,333
Amen.

513
00:20:42,349 --> 00:20:46,116
Every bit of it, take, you can take it literally, take it to the bank.

514
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,633
I mean, look at Isaiah 53.

515
00:20:47,816 --> 00:20:50,566
It like Isaiah's looking through time and standing there watching.

516
00:20:50,633 --> 00:20:51,700
Yes, yes.

517
00:20:51,766 --> 00:20:54,883
All the things that Jesus went through when he went to the cross.

518
00:20:56,650 --> 00:20:58,849
Why wouldn't anybody take this stuff literally?

519
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:00,933
Where you can, right?

520
00:21:01,016 --> 00:21:04,066
I mean, there's some stuff that, you know, it's, it's,

521
00:21:04,133 --> 00:21:04,483
symbolic.

522
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:06,216
Some stuff is symbolic, but it's very clear.

523
00:21:06,349 --> 00:21:07,299
A big picture of it.

524
00:21:07,366 --> 00:21:09,400
It's very clear that when it's symbolic, right?

525
00:21:09,466 --> 00:21:10,483
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

526
00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:12,883
So the rest of it, yeah, we have to take it literally.

527
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:14,450
You have to say, okay, this is the way it.

528
00:21:14,516 --> 00:21:15,583
And when who wins?

529
00:21:15,716 --> 00:21:16,616
Hey, man.

530
00:21:16,666 --> 00:21:17,016
Amen.

531
00:21:17,099 --> 00:21:19,549
And honestly, the victory's already won.

532
00:21:19,616 --> 00:21:21,233
Yeah, yeah, that's what it is.

533
00:21:21,299 --> 00:21:22,849
We've already won in Jesus, right?

534
00:21:22,916 --> 00:21:23,383
Yeah.

535
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,700
I mean, we got, you know, some things to go through,

536
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:30,650
some things to deal with, but we've already won in Jesus Christ.

537
00:21:30,716 --> 00:21:31,916
Yeah, yeah.

538
00:21:31,966 --> 00:21:32,733
And what was it?

539
00:21:32,750 --> 00:21:34,366
To Telestai, is that the word?

540
00:21:34,433 --> 00:21:35,450
Yeah, it is finished.

541
00:21:35,566 --> 00:21:37,666
And it has a 2nd meaning.

542
00:21:37,733 --> 00:21:39,950
It can mean paid in full.

543
00:21:41,650 --> 00:21:42,533
Paid in full.

544
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:43,016
Right.

545
00:21:43,066 --> 00:21:43,716
Yeah, absolutely.

546
00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:44,750
Paid in full.

547
00:21:44,933 --> 00:21:48,400
So, yeah, I mean, that's just praise the Lord.

548
00:21:48,466 --> 00:21:49,483
Praise the Lord for him.

549
00:21:49,549 --> 00:21:50,916
Praise the Lord for what he's done.

550
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,500
Praise the Lord for what he's finished.

551
00:21:53,216 --> 00:21:55,433
The Finnish work of Christ.

552
00:21:56,349 --> 00:21:58,916
Can I read through 8 through 11?

553
00:21:58,966 --> 00:21:59,316
Yeah.

554
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:04,133
And I, John, saw these things and heard them.

555
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,366
And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to

556
00:22:07,366 --> 00:22:11,683
worship before the feet of the angel which showed, which showed me these things.

557
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:16,433
Then saith he unto me, see thou, do it not,

558
00:22:16,433 --> 00:22:19,966
for I am thy fellow servant, and of the brethren,

559
00:22:19,966 --> 00:22:23,316
the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book worship God.

560
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,233
And he saith unto me, seal not the sayings

561
00:22:27,233 --> 00:22:30,650
of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

562
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:34,666
He that is unjust, let him be unjust steel.

563
00:22:34,733 --> 00:22:37,483
He which is filthy, let him be filthy still.

564
00:22:37,549 --> 00:22:40,666
He that is righteous, let him be righteous, steal, and he

565
00:22:40,666 --> 00:22:44,200
that is holy, let him be holy, still.

566
00:22:44,333 --> 00:22:47,566
So, notice that the angel is quick

567
00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:50,566
to be humble and to give all

568
00:22:50,566 --> 00:22:51,583
the glory to God.

569
00:22:51,650 --> 00:22:55,366
Yeah, he's not he's not holding him back or hesitating on that.

570
00:22:55,433 --> 00:22:56,083
Yeah.

571
00:22:57,049 --> 00:22:58,916
And here's the thing too.

572
00:22:58,966 --> 00:23:01,299
you know, we mentioned Daniel, you mentioned Daniel in America.

573
00:23:01,366 --> 00:23:04,483
Daniel was told to seal his book for

574
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:06,049
a while for a time, right?

575
00:23:06,116 --> 00:23:09,283
And now John's told to get the word out because

576
00:23:09,299 --> 00:23:11,099
the time is at hand, right?

577
00:23:11,150 --> 00:23:12,816
Don't waste any more time.

578
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,150
Don't waste any more time.

579
00:23:14,216 --> 00:23:14,750
Get through it.

580
00:23:14,816 --> 00:23:15,233
Let's do it.

581
00:23:15,299 --> 00:23:16,366
It's coming.

582
00:23:16,433 --> 00:23:16,900
It's coming quick.

583
00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:20,333
And man, we just finished up Daniel in Sunday school at

584
00:23:20,333 --> 00:23:22,849
the end of chapter 12, and something stuck out to me.

585
00:23:22,849 --> 00:23:25,966
When I was reading this again today, and says it, verse

586
00:23:25,966 --> 00:23:29,083
10, verses 9 and 10 of this, where he says,

587
00:23:30,849 --> 00:23:32,150
he said, don't worship me.

588
00:23:32,216 --> 00:23:33,283
I a fellow servant, yours.

589
00:23:33,349 --> 00:23:36,466
He said to me, do not seal up the words of the prophecy of the book for the time is near.

590
00:23:36,533 --> 00:23:39,049
And then he says, not the one who does wrong, still do wrong.

591
00:23:39,116 --> 00:23:42,650
The one who's filthy, still be filthy, the one who's righteous, still practice righteousness,

592
00:23:42,650 --> 00:23:44,566
and the one who's holy, still keep himself holy.

593
00:23:44,633 --> 00:23:45,766
listen to what he says.

594
00:23:45,833 --> 00:23:50,083
And I know the Bible wasn't written with verses and chapters and stuff, right?

595
00:23:50,150 --> 00:23:53,266
But at chapter 12 of Daniel, verse 10.

596
00:23:53,566 --> 00:23:54,816
Verse 10.

597
00:23:55,066 --> 00:23:58,599
It says, many will be purged, purified, and refined,

598
00:23:58,616 --> 00:24:01,849
but the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand,

599
00:24:01,849 --> 00:24:03,883
but those who have insight will understand.

600
00:24:03,950 --> 00:24:04,666
Yeah, yeah.

601
00:24:04,733 --> 00:24:08,200
It's almost the same thing as he says in verse 10 of chapter

602
00:24:08,216 --> 00:24:09,233
22 of Revelation.

603
00:24:09,299 --> 00:24:09,900
Exactly.

604
00:24:09,950 --> 00:24:11,266
It's like man, that's awesome.

605
00:24:11,333 --> 00:24:12,883
That's yeah, yeah.

606
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:14,683
How God works these things out.

607
00:24:14,750 --> 00:24:16,183
don't see things true.

608
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,516
You know, what we see here is those who have been rejected for eternity

609
00:24:20,516 --> 00:24:24,049
will continue to be more and more evil, right?

610
00:24:24,116 --> 00:24:27,116
More and more evil, but just as their condition

611
00:24:27,116 --> 00:24:30,766
is not static, neither is the condition of the believer.

612
00:24:30,833 --> 00:24:34,066
We will grow in the grace, knowledge and

613
00:24:34,066 --> 00:24:37,066
holiness of almighty God throughout all eternity.

614
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,250
These people that are lost, they're going to continue

615
00:24:40,250 --> 00:24:43,116
to be lost in, you think about how much more bitter.

616
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,316
I mean, they have nothing to make them better, they're

617
00:24:46,316 --> 00:24:48,466
going to be better, more and more.

618
00:24:48,533 --> 00:24:50,566
They're gonna hate God.

619
00:24:50,633 --> 00:24:52,483
They're going to hate where they're at.

620
00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:55,966
They're going to, they're going to mull it over and just be.

621
00:24:56,033 --> 00:24:59,083
I mean, it's evil surrounded by evil surrounded by

622
00:24:59,099 --> 00:25:00,166
evil surrounded by.

623
00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:02,150
Yeah, we see it all around us, don't we?

624
00:25:02,216 --> 00:25:05,450
And I think I think part of this too, you know, that it's

625
00:25:05,450 --> 00:25:08,383
a little confusing about, well, just let him do his wrong still do wrong.

626
00:25:08,450 --> 00:25:09,650
And that kind of stuff.

627
00:25:09,716 --> 00:25:13,066
But really what I think what it amounts to is if

628
00:25:13,066 --> 00:25:15,933
you're not moved by this prophecy, ain't nothing going to get you.

629
00:25:16,066 --> 00:25:16,666
Nothing's going to get you.

630
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,049
Nothing's going to get you.

631
00:25:18,116 --> 00:25:18,716
You're stuck.

632
00:25:18,766 --> 00:25:19,599
That's right.

633
00:25:19,666 --> 00:25:19,966
that's right

634
00:25:20,150 --> 00:25:20,566
Amen.

635
00:25:20,633 --> 00:25:23,083
And it's not because God said you're done.

636
00:25:23,150 --> 00:25:24,099
At some point he will.

637
00:25:24,166 --> 00:25:25,416
You made a choice, right?

638
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:26,633
Yeah, you've decided.

639
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:27,650
I don't wanna do that.

640
00:25:27,716 --> 00:25:28,616
Yeah, that's right.

641
00:25:28,666 --> 00:25:31,066
That's a, man, that's horrible.

642
00:25:31,133 --> 00:25:31,783
You've read it.

643
00:25:31,849 --> 00:25:32,500
You've heard it.

644
00:25:32,566 --> 00:25:35,500
Whatever, and you still rejected it.

645
00:25:35,566 --> 00:25:37,416
Yeah, and it's it.

646
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:40,616
Man, I was just thinking, you know, we were talking before we came on and

647
00:25:40,616 --> 00:25:41,983
just crossed my mind.

648
00:25:42,049 --> 00:25:45,700
It's like, man, I don't want to leave this world and the world be a better place because I'm gone.

649
00:25:45,766 --> 00:25:47,200
No, no, yeah.

650
00:25:47,266 --> 00:25:50,316
You know, some people will definitely be that way.

651
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,233
100%.

652
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:52,250
100% 100%.

653
00:25:52,666 --> 00:25:56,916
I want to leave this world and people go, he made it better.

654
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,950
Yeah, yeah.

655
00:25:58,016 --> 00:25:59,566
He made a difference in my life.

656
00:25:59,633 --> 00:26:00,283
Yeah.

657
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,950
And you can tell by the funeral that you have, what

658
00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:05,916
a difference you've made in people's lives, right?

659
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,416
You know?

660
00:26:06,466 --> 00:26:09,583
I mean, you, you, you can uh, does

661
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:10,966
the preacher have anything good to say?

662
00:26:11,516 --> 00:26:14,450
Have you preached your funeral already?

663
00:26:14,516 --> 00:26:16,133
You've given him some material, right?

664
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,250
I mean, because we can, man, I've done a lot

665
00:26:19,250 --> 00:26:22,250
of funerals in the last 20 years and, and,

666
00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:25,716
and most all of them have been, have

667
00:26:25,733 --> 00:26:28,250
been good as far as a funeral can be good.

668
00:26:28,316 --> 00:26:31,366
And my good, I mean, I've buried

669
00:26:31,366 --> 00:26:34,966
a lot of people who are saints of God, who have served

670
00:26:34,966 --> 00:26:37,966
him all their lives and done so much for the kingdom,

671
00:26:37,966 --> 00:26:41,500
and I've had plenty of good to say about them.

672
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:45,166
But, you know, there have been, uh, some where,

673
00:26:45,166 --> 00:26:47,083
uh, you don't even know.

674
00:26:47,150 --> 00:26:50,200
Yeah, you don't even know where they're going, you don't know where they're headed.

675
00:26:50,266 --> 00:26:53,316
And you really, there's not a

676
00:26:53,333 --> 00:26:57,883
lot you can say other than comforting the family that's there.

677
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,283
And try to give them some hope with the gospel.

678
00:27:00,416 --> 00:27:00,766
right?

679
00:27:00,833 --> 00:27:01,549
That's all you got.

680
00:27:01,616 --> 00:27:02,750
Yeah.

681
00:27:02,750 --> 00:27:05,916
I mean, we do that anyway, but some people, you just,

682
00:27:05,933 --> 00:27:09,099
you know, they probably, I mean, maybe there

683
00:27:09,116 --> 00:27:10,250
was a deathbed confession.

684
00:27:10,316 --> 00:27:11,333
You don't know for sure.

685
00:27:12,650 --> 00:27:13,250
But, man.

686
00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:15,400
Fruit just did not stack up.

687
00:27:15,466 --> 00:27:17,683
Yeah, and here's here's the thing.

688
00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:20,799
Listen, let's let's be a little bit real for just a minute

689
00:27:20,816 --> 00:27:23,933
here, because I know people deal with a

690
00:27:23,933 --> 00:27:26,633
lot of emotions around death and dying.

691
00:27:28,150 --> 00:27:31,433
So maybe, maybe you're saved

692
00:27:31,433 --> 00:27:34,483
and you have a loved one who's not saved. and you

693
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,616
say, well, how's a preacher going to comfort me in this, right?

694
00:27:37,666 --> 00:27:40,716
Because they're going to die and they're going to spend eternity in hell.

695
00:27:41,250 --> 00:27:43,366
Where's my comfort in this?

696
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,599
Your comfort is?

697
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:49,116
As we read in Revelation 21,

698
00:27:49,133 --> 00:27:53,200
that, that, that, behold, all things are going to become huge.

699
00:27:53,266 --> 00:27:57,033
There's going to be a new heaven, a new earth, a new mindset.

700
00:27:57,116 --> 00:28:00,349
The old things have passed away and all

701
00:28:00,349 --> 00:28:01,966
things have become new.

702
00:28:02,450 --> 00:28:04,133
There's there's going to be a time.

703
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,066
Yes, you're going to have to deal with this in this life.

704
00:28:07,133 --> 00:28:10,183
You're going to have to deal with this as you step

705
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,216
into eternity.

706
00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:14,566
But there's going to come a time where those things are going to be a race.

707
00:28:14,633 --> 00:28:17,750
Those things are going to be gone and the glory of God and

708
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:21,166
heaven are going to be so big and so

709
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:25,299
great that it will erase all of those memories.

710
00:28:25,366 --> 00:28:28,416
It'll erase all those the sadness and the sorrow and

711
00:28:28,433 --> 00:28:30,283
the pain and the suffering that you had before.

712
00:28:30,349 --> 00:28:33,466
So, so yeah, there's hope there.

713
00:28:33,533 --> 00:28:36,533
I know it's I know it's not the greatest hope for

714
00:28:36,533 --> 00:28:37,849
right now because you have to worry.

715
00:28:38,650 --> 00:28:41,750
You know, did they make a choice, which I always tell people too,

716
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:43,716
you know, hey, you have no idea.

717
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:48,049
You can even have hope that they made a decision on their deathbed.

718
00:28:48,116 --> 00:28:51,166
You know, in their in their heart of hearts and

719
00:28:51,166 --> 00:28:54,633
in their soul was changed, and

720
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:57,583
you never got to hear it or know it, but...

721
00:28:57,650 --> 00:28:58,549
Only God knows.

722
00:28:58,616 --> 00:28:59,266
Only God knows.

723
00:28:59,333 --> 00:28:59,866
So.

724
00:29:01,450 --> 00:29:01,799
Yeah.

725
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:06,766
That's a that's a difficult thing.

726
00:29:07,950 --> 00:29:11,333
For all Christians, is dealing

727
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:15,333
with the fact that the world has rejected

728
00:29:15,349 --> 00:29:19,616
the good news of the gospel to the point that they fight it tooth and nail.

729
00:29:19,666 --> 00:29:20,083
Yeah.

730
00:29:20,099 --> 00:29:20,866
And you do.

731
00:29:20,933 --> 00:29:21,700
You have to fight for it.

732
00:29:21,766 --> 00:29:25,299
You have to fight to get it out there and you've got to be battling it.

733
00:29:25,366 --> 00:29:28,066
I was, I watched a video earlier this week.

734
00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:31,483
I don't know if you guys ever saw Vody Bachum,

735
00:29:32,049 --> 00:29:33,599
any of his sermons and stuff.

736
00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:36,650
And he was he was a reformed Baptist, so he's basically a

737
00:29:36,650 --> 00:29:40,116
Calvinist with a few Baptist beliefs sprinkled in there, but

738
00:29:40,133 --> 00:29:41,983
he had some really good sermons.

739
00:29:42,049 --> 00:29:42,650
Yeah, he did.

740
00:29:42,650 --> 00:29:44,566
And one of the last ones he gave.

741
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
He was talking about how much this world

742
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,650
has... has

743
00:29:51,650 --> 00:29:54,650
chosen to eat

744
00:29:54,650 --> 00:29:58,366
the sweet poison that Satan has placed out here for us.

745
00:29:58,433 --> 00:30:01,549
And the example he gave was

746
00:30:01,549 --> 00:30:02,916
that I thought was just so good.

747
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,000
He said, you know, if you're a parent and you've got a

748
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000
child and they just want to eat junk and they want to sit around the house all day and

749
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,116
they want to do nothing, play video games and just eat garbage, you

750
00:30:12,116 --> 00:30:14,683
could let them do it and you're going to sit there and you're going to watch them get fat.

751
00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:18,099
You're going to watch them let their teeth ride out of their head and you're going to watch your child die.

752
00:30:18,416 --> 00:30:21,583
And he said, and it's the same way, and he

753
00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:23,033
said, it's the same way being a Christian.

754
00:30:23,099 --> 00:30:26,150
He went on and he gave the specific example he gave.

755
00:30:26,216 --> 00:30:29,216
He said, you know, if you have a kid and you have a strawberry

756
00:30:29,216 --> 00:30:32,216
patch out behind your house, you take them out there, you let them get strawberries when they're

757
00:30:32,216 --> 00:30:33,583
young, man, they love those strawberries.

758
00:30:33,650 --> 00:30:35,566
Fresh strawberries right off the vine.

759
00:30:35,633 --> 00:30:36,400
Oh, they're so good.

760
00:30:36,466 --> 00:30:37,599
They taste so sweet.

761
00:30:37,666 --> 00:30:40,666
It's like eating candy and the kid loves it and they just, they eat

762
00:30:40,666 --> 00:30:44,683
them up and they want to do it every day and you're out there every day gathering strawberries with them.

763
00:30:44,750 --> 00:30:47,799
And then they get a little older and you take them down to 7-Eleven, you let them

764
00:30:47,816 --> 00:30:49,316
have a strawberry Slurpee.

765
00:30:49,433 --> 00:30:52,483
And they start drinking those Slurpees every few days

766
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:55,616
and all of a sudden, one day you go down the strawberry patch and they say, dad,

767
00:30:55,616 --> 00:30:56,816
it's just not sweet.

768
00:30:57,549 --> 00:30:59,566
He said, you've got 2 choices.

769
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:03,900
You can let them keep going to the 7-Eleven and getting

770
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:07,016
the Slurpees and stop eating the strawberries that are good for them,

771
00:31:07,349 --> 00:31:09,000
or you can say, hey, you know what?

772
00:31:09,049 --> 00:31:09,950
No more Slurpees.

773
00:31:10,016 --> 00:31:13,433
And we're going to go down here to the strawberry patch, and every day we're going to get strawberries,

774
00:31:13,433 --> 00:31:17,333
and we're going to eat them because at some point, those strawberries are going to start tasting sweet again.

775
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,799
And he said, we have to take the gospel out.

776
00:31:19,849 --> 00:31:23,683
We've got to take the scripture out and put it in front of people until it starts tasting sweet again.

777
00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:24,650
Yeah.

778
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,900
And, man, that is.

779
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:33,599
And when you don't want to be, you don't want to be the person that said, what, I could have told them.

780
00:31:33,650 --> 00:31:34,183
Yeah.

781
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,033
Yeah.

782
00:31:35,099 --> 00:31:38,700
And we don't we don't understand how much power is in just the gospel.

783
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:41,866
We think that, well, I've got to have a polished speech.

784
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:43,366
I've got to do this.

785
00:31:43,433 --> 00:31:44,566
I've got to know that.

786
00:31:44,633 --> 00:31:46,849
and there's power in the gospel.

787
00:31:46,916 --> 00:31:47,933
Yes.

788
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,433
It's not in us.

789
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,500
It's the Holy Spirit working in somebody's heart.

790
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:53,616
absolutely.

791
00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:57,950
And it's, uh, we talk ourselves out of evangelizing so much.

792
00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:03,233
Yeah, and that should be our focus, our goal.

793
00:32:03,349 --> 00:32:06,816
I had, I had somebody ask me a

794
00:32:06,833 --> 00:32:10,633
question the other day about,

795
00:32:10,650 --> 00:32:14,599
they were talking about the rapture and tribulation,

796
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:18,533
and they asked me, what happened

797
00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:22,000
to someone

798
00:32:22,016 --> 00:32:25,549
who's reached the age of accountability,

799
00:32:25,549 --> 00:32:29,016
and at the point in time of the rapture,

800
00:32:29,033 --> 00:32:32,083
what they've reached the age of accountability, but they haven't yet

801
00:32:32,099 --> 00:32:33,950
accepted Christ as savior.

802
00:32:34,016 --> 00:32:34,133
or

803
00:32:34,133 --> 00:32:35,266
What happens to that person?

804
00:32:35,333 --> 00:32:38,266
And I said, they're going to step into tribulation.

805
00:32:38,333 --> 00:32:41,683
You know, whether that's 8

806
00:32:41,700 --> 00:32:45,166
years old or 10 years old or whatever that,

807
00:32:45,166 --> 00:32:48,166
whatever that time is, you know, they, they, if they're

808
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:51,583
able to consciously accept or

809
00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:55,066
consciously believe and put those things together and

810
00:32:55,066 --> 00:32:58,066
they haven't yet accepted it, then they will step into

811
00:32:58,066 --> 00:33:01,783
a time, a 7 year period of tribulation.

812
00:33:01,849 --> 00:33:04,849
Uh, and and she's, they're like, you know, what,

813
00:33:04,849 --> 00:33:07,183
I mean, what about, you know, who's going to take care of them?

814
00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:08,616
you know, what's going to happen?

815
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:09,416
which I told him.

816
00:33:09,466 --> 00:33:11,799
I said, look, I said, be honest with you.

817
00:33:11,866 --> 00:33:14,916
Hopefully they'll they'll

818
00:33:14,933 --> 00:33:17,933
step into that time, they won't take the mark of the beast,

819
00:33:17,933 --> 00:33:19,666
and they'll they'll die.

820
00:33:19,733 --> 00:33:23,983
And that'll be the best thing for them to get out of that thing, you know?

821
00:33:24,049 --> 00:33:24,583
Yes.

822
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:27,900
But, uh, uh, but

823
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:30,900
they said, you know, it's just, it's just mind blowing to

824
00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:34,250
think about that and to worry about the, you know, there may be kids that,

825
00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:37,250
that, you know, have reached the age of accountability that they're going to be going into this thing.

826
00:33:37,316 --> 00:33:40,133
Maybe their parents were saved and they're gone.

827
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,450
You know, that was kind of their example.

828
00:33:41,516 --> 00:33:44,816
The parents, the parents are saved and they don't go into tribulation with the parents.

829
00:33:44,866 --> 00:33:46,299
They go into tribulation by themselves.

830
00:33:46,366 --> 00:33:48,466
I know it's hard to think about that.

831
00:33:48,533 --> 00:33:51,833
It's hard to imagine that and fathom that, but that's what's going to happen.

832
00:33:52,349 --> 00:33:56,400
And when I told them, I said, look, I said, that's

833
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,716
why that should drive us.

834
00:33:58,500 --> 00:34:01,666
That, that, that right there should, I mean, you,

835
00:34:01,666 --> 00:34:04,900
you take the way that you feel right now about, about that and

836
00:34:04,916 --> 00:34:07,966
the worry that you have about those children and and

837
00:34:07,966 --> 00:34:11,316
you take that and you let it drive you to evangelize

838
00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:15,233
like you never have before, for the church to just spread

839
00:34:15,233 --> 00:34:18,400
the gospel, to be about the father's business, to do,

840
00:34:18,416 --> 00:34:21,533
to go out and to just do what God has called us today.

841
00:34:21,599 --> 00:34:23,266
And I'm going to be honest.

842
00:34:23,650 --> 00:34:26,750
There is not a single person that will step into the tribulation

843
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:28,300
that at some point in their life,

844
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,566
experienced conviction of their sin.

845
00:34:34,066 --> 00:34:37,233
I mean, that if that child is literally too young to

846
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:40,250
experience conviction, to have gone through that, to understand that they

847
00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:44,083
are a sinner, to understand and to have actually gone through the thought process.

848
00:34:44,150 --> 00:34:46,066
Whatever that may look like.

849
00:34:46,133 --> 00:34:46,733
Right.

850
00:34:47,449 --> 00:34:49,199
They're not going through the tribulation.

851
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:49,550
Yeah.

852
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:52,849
So we're not and this sounds

853
00:34:52,849 --> 00:34:56,150
bad, but you're not talking about a truly innocent child being there.

854
00:34:56,216 --> 00:34:58,916
You're talking about somebody who may not have done anything bad.

855
00:34:58,966 --> 00:35:02,199
They may not have gone out and murdered somebody, but they have been convicted

856
00:35:02,216 --> 00:35:05,516
and chose to not accept Christ.

857
00:35:06,449 --> 00:35:09,766
And quite frankly, if anybody makes that choice,

858
00:35:09,766 --> 00:35:13,233
you do it with a full knowledge of what you're choosing anymore.

859
00:35:13,316 --> 00:35:15,233
There's no excuse anymore.

860
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:18,050
You know, and I've heard, I don't know.

861
00:35:18,116 --> 00:35:21,116
I mean, there's there's very respected preachers who will tell

862
00:35:21,116 --> 00:35:24,533
you that even those kids could go into tribulation.

863
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:25,316
I don't believe that.

864
00:35:25,366 --> 00:35:26,316
I don't believe that.

865
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,349
I don't believe I believe it's out of line with the character of God for

866
00:35:30,349 --> 00:35:32,449
them to have to face something like that.

867
00:35:32,516 --> 00:35:35,566
But, um, you know, we we don't know all of

868
00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:38,566
that, but we do know for sure that if, like you said, if they

869
00:35:38,566 --> 00:35:41,616
have been, uh, to a point in their life where

870
00:35:41,633 --> 00:35:44,683
they've heard the gospel and they haven't yet accepted it, and maybe

871
00:35:44,699 --> 00:35:47,449
maybe the Holy Spirit's been dealing with them, but they just didn't give in to it.

872
00:35:47,516 --> 00:35:49,550
They're going into tribulation.

873
00:35:49,616 --> 00:35:52,133
Or he didn't come when I was a teenager.

874
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:53,699
Gosh, yeah, yeah.

875
00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:54,766
I'd been done.

876
00:35:54,833 --> 00:35:56,033
Yeah, yeah.

877
00:35:56,099 --> 00:35:59,150
Well, and and conviction looks different

878
00:35:59,150 --> 00:36:00,349
for...

879
00:36:00,416 --> 00:36:03,583
everybody always thinks of conviction as being this thing where, oh, I'm

880
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:06,466
sitting in church and I hear it and I get convicted.

881
00:36:06,533 --> 00:36:07,133
You know what?

882
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:10,316
There are people that have been convicted because they woke up from a dream.

883
00:36:10,366 --> 00:36:13,533
There are people who have been convicted because they were out in a field working

884
00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:17,150
and God just through look observing nature.

885
00:36:17,216 --> 00:36:19,433
They were like, huh, maybe there's something more to this.

886
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:21,166
Maybe somebody made all this.

887
00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:24,233
Maybe I ought to get to know the person that made this place and they start

888
00:36:24,233 --> 00:36:26,333
looking and he says, if you seek, you're going to find.

889
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,099
And it's a thing where he's going to make sure that you get to it.

890
00:36:29,150 --> 00:36:31,300
And that's the thing, you go look it.

891
00:36:31,366 --> 00:36:32,566
you know, you've mentioned it before.

892
00:36:32,633 --> 00:36:35,683
All these missionaries that go over and they go into these places that have

893
00:36:35,699 --> 00:36:38,750
never had anybody from the western world in it and they

894
00:36:38,750 --> 00:36:41,800
walk up to them and say, we've been waiting on you because I've been dreaming

895
00:36:41,816 --> 00:36:44,866
about you because God's already told me that you're coming to explain this to

896
00:36:44,866 --> 00:36:47,683
me because I'm living right now for you to come and tell me.

897
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,633
And I mean, God sends people out.

898
00:36:50,699 --> 00:36:53,699
God does not allow anybody who truly wants

899
00:36:53,699 --> 00:36:56,699
to know and seek to die without him, to die without

900
00:36:56,699 --> 00:36:58,016
the opportunity to accept him.

901
00:36:58,066 --> 00:37:01,066
And of course, then, I mean, we have

902
00:37:01,066 --> 00:37:04,183
to look at, too, I don't get too far off of

903
00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:07,433
this, but we have to look at the fact,

904
00:37:07,433 --> 00:37:09,349
too, if we go to Romans one.

905
00:37:09,533 --> 00:37:11,083
Yeah.

906
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:13,849
Oh, without excuse.

907
00:37:13,966 --> 00:37:17,133
I mean, we don't have an we don't have an excuse here.

908
00:37:20,216 --> 00:37:23,266
And my point being that we have even less of an excuse today

909
00:37:23,266 --> 00:37:25,000
where the gospel is everywhere.

910
00:37:25,066 --> 00:37:25,783
Yeah.

911
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,416
I mean, the world rejects it.

912
00:37:27,466 --> 00:37:28,000
Don't get me wrong.

913
00:37:28,066 --> 00:37:31,300
I get that you get made fun of for being a Christian, making YouTube content

914
00:37:31,316 --> 00:37:34,250
and content on Facebook and whatever.

915
00:37:34,316 --> 00:37:36,533
People ignore it and people try to get away from it.

916
00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:38,400
But there is, it is everywhere.

917
00:37:38,516 --> 00:37:41,516
It is always out there available, ready for you to

918
00:37:41,516 --> 00:37:43,916
listen to, ready for you to receive, ready for you to see.

919
00:37:43,966 --> 00:37:47,199
My kids will very often, just at their ages, at 13

920
00:37:47,216 --> 00:37:50,383
and 10 years old, will sometimes show me videos they've come across,

921
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,400
just on what little bit of kids stuff is out there, and

922
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,533
it's stuff talking about Jesus.

923
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:56,816
And it's somebody telling them about how good God is.

924
00:37:56,816 --> 00:37:58,966
And it's so, and I'm like, you're 13 years old.

925
00:37:59,033 --> 00:38:00,050
You didn't go looking for this.

926
00:38:00,116 --> 00:38:02,866
He's looking for a video about Minecraft or whatever.

927
00:38:02,933 --> 00:38:05,199
And all of a sudden, here's this video of somebody telling him the gospel.

928
00:38:05,266 --> 00:38:06,883
And I'm like, it's literally out there.

929
00:38:06,949 --> 00:38:08,449
And people do.

930
00:38:08,516 --> 00:38:11,633
They make it good and entertaining for kids, and they make it for...

931
00:38:11,633 --> 00:38:12,833
everybody hears.

932
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:13,800
Yeah, yeah.

933
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,033
So verse 17 in Romans one says,

934
00:38:17,033 --> 00:38:20,033
for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from

935
00:38:20,033 --> 00:38:23,033
faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith, for

936
00:38:23,033 --> 00:38:26,566
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against

937
00:38:26,566 --> 00:38:29,733
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold

938
00:38:29,750 --> 00:38:33,400
the truth in unrighteousness, because that

939
00:38:33,416 --> 00:38:36,416
which may be known of God is manifesting them,

940
00:38:36,416 --> 00:38:38,516
for God has showed it unto them.

941
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:41,733
For the invisible things of him from the creation of

942
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:44,983
the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that

943
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,166
are made, even his eternal power

944
00:38:48,166 --> 00:38:51,400
and godhead, so that they are without

945
00:38:51,416 --> 00:38:53,083
excuse.

946
00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:56,800
They are without excuse because the world itself,

947
00:38:56,816 --> 00:39:00,416
the creation itself shows that there has to be a creator.

948
00:39:00,466 --> 00:39:01,183
Psalms 19.

949
00:39:02,199 --> 00:39:03,900
I think it's where it's at.

950
00:39:04,016 --> 00:39:06,349
Psalms chapter 19.

951
00:39:06,533 --> 00:39:10,133
And we wouldn't even be having the debates that we have today if

952
00:39:10,133 --> 00:39:14,199
it wasn't for the fact that people have heard and chosen to reject.

953
00:39:14,266 --> 00:39:17,566
I mean, just the way the world interacts with the gospel

954
00:39:17,566 --> 00:39:20,683
proves that they have no excuse because they've already got

955
00:39:20,699 --> 00:39:21,833
their arguments ready.

956
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:24,900
They've already got themselves ready to argue against whatever you

957
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:26,699
put in front of them and it's because they've heard it.

958
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:29,616
That's ridiculed in just about every corner of this culture too.

959
00:39:29,699 --> 00:39:30,349
Yeah, absolutely.

960
00:39:30,416 --> 00:39:33,349
Oh, wow, I shouldn't believe that because people will make fun of it.

961
00:39:33,416 --> 00:39:34,366
You know, it's not true.

962
00:39:34,433 --> 00:39:35,933
It's a myth, it's this or that.

963
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,766
Well, go for it.

964
00:39:36,833 --> 00:39:37,300
fun of me.

965
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,166
I'm fine with it

966
00:39:39,300 --> 00:39:40,066
Yeah, absolutely.

967
00:39:40,133 --> 00:39:40,966
Doesn't bother me.

968
00:39:41,033 --> 00:39:44,500
The heavens versus one in Psalms 19.

969
00:39:44,816 --> 00:39:48,050
The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmness showeth his handiwork.

970
00:39:48,116 --> 00:39:49,016
It does.

971
00:39:49,016 --> 00:39:49,733
Just there.

972
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,016
You know, so that they are without excuse.

973
00:39:52,133 --> 00:39:55,133
And what amazes me is that, you know, you watch, you watch

974
00:39:55,133 --> 00:39:58,483
videos on YouTube of scientists and doctors and different kinds of people.

975
00:39:58,550 --> 00:40:01,716
I was watching this one of this doctor talking about, I

976
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:05,033
know, I'm nerdy, I guess, but it's just talking about mitochondria.

977
00:40:05,099 --> 00:40:06,533
It's just talking about how it evolved.

978
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:09,599
And she shows this diagram of mitochondria, like some

979
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:12,599
of the smallest stuff in our bodies that had sugar and all this

980
00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:16,500
stuff and turns it into energy and all this stuff and how intricate this stuff is.

981
00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:19,250
It's got these little walls inside of it.

982
00:40:19,316 --> 00:40:21,716
It's got these gates that let stuff in and out.

983
00:40:21,766 --> 00:40:24,933
It's got all this design to it and she's talking about how they evolved.

984
00:40:25,066 --> 00:40:25,666
Right.

985
00:40:25,666 --> 00:40:27,933
Yeah, just come on.

986
00:40:28,016 --> 00:40:28,733
Come on.

987
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,449
Come on.

988
00:40:29,516 --> 00:40:31,316
You know, and it sales.

989
00:40:31,366 --> 00:40:34,066
I mean, these some of these things have little gears in them.

990
00:40:34,133 --> 00:40:35,033
Yeah, yeah.

991
00:40:35,650 --> 00:40:39,533
This wasn't designed. willingly. ignorant.

992
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:40,666
willingly ignorant.

993
00:40:40,733 --> 00:40:41,199
Absolutely.

994
00:40:41,266 --> 00:40:43,833
Or is that Hoven used to say, dumb on purpose?

995
00:40:43,966 --> 00:40:45,699
No, he's a nut.

996
00:40:45,766 --> 00:40:47,733
Yeah, and you think.

997
00:40:47,750 --> 00:40:48,099
Oh, yeah.

998
00:40:48,166 --> 00:40:49,416
You think?

999
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,500
that, oh, because of

1000
00:40:52,500 --> 00:40:55,916
evolution, not because of God, but because of evolution, that

1001
00:40:55,916 --> 00:40:59,083
that amoeba, that sale, that that

1002
00:40:59,099 --> 00:41:02,816
small little intricate thing said, oh, we don't have this.

1003
00:41:02,866 --> 00:41:05,733
Let's make this, let's create this ourselves.

1004
00:41:05,816 --> 00:41:06,883
And here it is.

1005
00:41:06,949 --> 00:41:07,966
And here it is.

1006
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:09,583
The 1st woodpecker.

1007
00:41:09,650 --> 00:41:10,550
Yeah, yeah.

1008
00:41:10,616 --> 00:41:12,416
Okay, that beak didn't work.

1009
00:41:12,466 --> 00:41:14,199
How did it have another one?

1010
00:41:14,266 --> 00:41:14,983
Right, right.

1011
00:41:15,050 --> 00:41:16,300
It made his head against a tree.

1012
00:41:17,699 --> 00:41:20,566
Yeah, it's just common.

1013
00:41:20,566 --> 00:41:21,633
That those bake, right?

1014
00:41:21,716 --> 00:41:22,250
Yeah, yeah.

1015
00:41:22,949 --> 00:41:24,416
That bird over there keeps killing it.

1016
00:41:24,650 --> 00:41:28,416
If it does it enough, eventually, it'll figure out how not to.

1017
00:41:28,733 --> 00:41:31,733
So, I just, I

1018
00:41:31,733 --> 00:41:33,949
don't know how anybody could buy into this.

1019
00:41:34,016 --> 00:41:35,150
We're willingly ignorant.

1020
00:41:35,333 --> 00:41:38,449
And and they dress this stuff up in

1021
00:41:38,449 --> 00:41:41,500
in the world around us in such fancy

1022
00:41:41,516 --> 00:41:44,816
language, in such scientific language

1023
00:41:44,816 --> 00:41:47,683
that people just think, well, God couldn't have created all this.

1024
00:41:47,699 --> 00:41:48,949
And there's no God.

1025
00:41:49,016 --> 00:41:52,433
You know, this is all scientific materialistic stuff.

1026
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,133
And that all feeds right back in the tower of babble.

1027
00:41:55,199 --> 00:41:55,616
It does.

1028
00:41:55,616 --> 00:41:55,916
Yes.

1029
00:41:55,966 --> 00:41:56,199
Right.

1030
00:41:56,266 --> 00:41:56,916
Human achievement.

1031
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:57,599
right

1032
00:41:58,366 --> 00:41:59,316
Absolutely.

1033
00:41:59,849 --> 00:42:00,766
Look at me.

1034
00:42:00,833 --> 00:42:01,733
Look at what I've done.

1035
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,050
Look at how good I am.

1036
00:42:03,116 --> 00:42:05,633
Me, me, me, me, me, me.

1037
00:42:05,699 --> 00:42:07,966
And we get into that as Christians too, don't we?

1038
00:42:08,033 --> 00:42:10,300
I mean, we can we can get real prideful.

1039
00:42:10,366 --> 00:42:13,183
get to thinking, oh, look how good I've done here.

1040
00:42:13,900 --> 00:42:15,050
Gosh, I worry.

1041
00:42:15,233 --> 00:42:16,966
I don't know.

1042
00:42:17,033 --> 00:42:20,199
I guess sometimes I'm too much of a skeptic, you know, like

1043
00:42:20,216 --> 00:42:23,266
you want our churches that they really good and you won't want them to

1044
00:42:23,266 --> 00:42:26,316
grow and you want things to happen and you won't, you want people to

1045
00:42:26,333 --> 00:42:29,333
be saved and all the things, you know, but then you

1046
00:42:29,333 --> 00:42:31,000
want to make sure that you also,

1047
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,416
Hey, God, let's remember to stay humble.

1048
00:42:33,533 --> 00:42:35,566
You know, let's remember to stay humble.

1049
00:42:35,633 --> 00:42:37,133
Let's remember where this came from, Mr.

1050
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:38,150
Remember, this is not of us.

1051
00:42:38,216 --> 00:42:41,333
And I think that's the key to a successful church

1052
00:42:41,333 --> 00:42:44,449
and a successful evangelism,

1053
00:42:44,449 --> 00:42:47,616
a successful ministry, is that,

1054
00:42:47,633 --> 00:42:51,050
yes, God will give us growth, and yes, God will give us good things,

1055
00:42:51,050 --> 00:42:53,383
but let's always make sure that we,

1056
00:42:53,449 --> 00:42:56,266
I mean, Paul was was was so careful.

1057
00:42:56,333 --> 00:42:59,566
to say, hey, everything else I've

1058
00:42:59,566 --> 00:43:00,816
done is just a bunch of crap.

1059
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:04,366
You know, I mean, that's just, that's what he said.

1060
00:43:04,433 --> 00:43:06,099
You know, it's just a bunch of crap.

1061
00:43:06,166 --> 00:43:09,216
And, and this is, and everything that

1062
00:43:09,233 --> 00:43:12,583
I am and everything that I've done is because of Jesus.

1063
00:43:12,650 --> 00:43:14,383
because of my relationship with him.

1064
00:43:14,449 --> 00:43:16,366
He didn't even have to save me.

1065
00:43:16,433 --> 00:43:18,283
I was headed the wrong way.

1066
00:43:18,349 --> 00:43:20,566
It was foolish and I was I was wrong.

1067
00:43:20,633 --> 00:43:21,833
I was so wrong.

1068
00:43:21,900 --> 00:43:24,900
And he loved me and he changed me and he met

1069
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:25,966
me right where I was.

1070
00:43:26,033 --> 00:43:29,800
And I'm only able to do what I do because of him.

1071
00:43:29,866 --> 00:43:33,333
And I think because of Paul's humbleness,

1072
00:43:33,349 --> 00:43:34,666
his ministry flourished.

1073
00:43:34,733 --> 00:43:35,566
Oh, absolutely.

1074
00:43:35,633 --> 00:43:36,050
Absolutely.

1075
00:43:36,116 --> 00:43:39,233
You know, I was telling Toller earlier, I've been going through the book of Romans with

1076
00:43:39,233 --> 00:43:42,233
all my assisted living homes, you know, and we're

1077
00:43:42,233 --> 00:43:43,550
up through like chapter 11 now.

1078
00:43:43,616 --> 00:43:46,250
But, man, I would like to do just to study on Paul.

1079
00:43:46,316 --> 00:43:49,733
This guy, I mean, he was qualified to write Romans

1080
00:43:49,733 --> 00:43:52,849
like no other human being in the world or Galatians

1081
00:43:52,849 --> 00:43:54,466
when you're talking about law and grace.

1082
00:43:54,533 --> 00:43:55,900
This guy lived the law.

1083
00:43:55,966 --> 00:43:56,616
Yeah.

1084
00:43:56,633 --> 00:43:59,633
He lived it for years and years and years looking perfect on

1085
00:43:59,633 --> 00:44:02,449
the outside and being rotten on the inside and tended to met Jesus.

1086
00:44:02,516 --> 00:44:05,033
And this guy, oh, man.

1087
00:44:05,099 --> 00:44:07,133
I'm fired up about Romans, Paul.

1088
00:44:07,199 --> 00:44:08,933
that guy's incredible.

1089
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,016
Incredible.

1090
00:44:10,066 --> 00:44:13,533
But that humility that humility applies in every part of our lives.

1091
00:44:13,616 --> 00:44:13,916
Yeah.

1092
00:44:13,916 --> 00:44:17,033
Whether it's our work or family or whatever

1093
00:44:17,033 --> 00:44:19,000
it is, we realize that we're stewards.

1094
00:44:19,066 --> 00:44:20,866
We don't own anything.

1095
00:44:21,050 --> 00:44:24,216
And we're not, we're not, we can't go bragging about what great

1096
00:44:24,233 --> 00:44:27,883
things we did because God gave you the next breath in your lungs.

1097
00:44:27,949 --> 00:44:29,983
Your next heartbeat.

1098
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,866
We need to be giving him the glory.

1099
00:44:32,933 --> 00:44:34,666
I love I love...

1100
00:44:34,733 --> 00:44:37,300
I love the fact that the Bible makes us so excited too.

1101
00:44:37,366 --> 00:44:40,000
You know, the more we get into it, the more excited.

1102
00:44:40,066 --> 00:44:43,533
My wife's been she's been doing the scripture

1103
00:44:43,550 --> 00:44:45,583
writing, the daily scripture writing, you know.

1104
00:44:45,650 --> 00:44:49,416
and she's really got into it here lately and she's

1105
00:44:49,433 --> 00:44:50,500
got she's got 3

1106
00:44:50,750 --> 00:44:51,650
She's got 3 of them.

1107
00:44:51,716 --> 00:44:52,666
She's doing the same time.

1108
00:44:52,733 --> 00:44:53,866
She's got 3 different ones.

1109
00:44:53,933 --> 00:44:54,533
She's doing.

1110
00:44:54,599 --> 00:44:55,916
Yes, she's got 3 notebooks.

1111
00:44:55,966 --> 00:44:56,683
right with both hands.

1112
00:44:56,816 --> 00:44:58,133
She's got, she's done.

1113
00:44:58,199 --> 00:45:01,066
she does one notebook, then starts on another one, then starts on another one.

1114
00:45:01,133 --> 00:45:04,433
You know, she's just, she's just pouring in his,

1115
00:45:04,433 --> 00:45:07,599
the, the Bible's just pouring into her and she's like, hey, uh, you

1116
00:45:07,616 --> 00:45:08,933
know, send me your notes on this.

1117
00:45:09,050 --> 00:45:09,816
What do you got on this?

1118
00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:11,150
you know, what's your thoughts on this?

1119
00:45:11,216 --> 00:45:14,216
You know, so it's giving us some great, great time to discuss

1120
00:45:14,216 --> 00:45:15,766
with each other and talk with each other.

1121
00:45:15,833 --> 00:45:18,233
And, um, and, uh...

1122
00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:18,650
Yeah.

1123
00:45:18,766 --> 00:45:19,900
But anyway, that's awesome.

1124
00:45:19,966 --> 00:45:21,033
Good stuff.

1125
00:45:21,116 --> 00:45:21,466
Good stuff.

1126
00:45:21,533 --> 00:45:22,550
was so good.

1127
00:45:22,616 --> 00:45:23,333
It is.

1128
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,599
God is so good, isn't he?

1129
00:45:24,650 --> 00:45:25,183
He is.

1130
00:45:25,650 --> 00:45:27,233
How much of this we want to read?

1131
00:45:27,766 --> 00:45:31,116
My notes I've got through 16, but you can stop.

1132
00:45:31,199 --> 00:45:31,666
I do too.

1133
00:45:32,566 --> 00:45:33,033
Yeah.

1134
00:45:33,116 --> 00:45:33,716
All right, verse 12.

1135
00:45:33,949 --> 00:45:37,000
Behold, I'm coming quickly, and my reward

1136
00:45:37,016 --> 00:45:40,066
is with me to render to every man according to what he's done.

1137
00:45:40,133 --> 00:45:43,133
I'm the alpha and the omega, the 1st

1138
00:45:43,133 --> 00:45:44,683
and the last, the beginning and the end.

1139
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:47,750
Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they

1140
00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:51,166
may have the right to the tree of life and may enter by the gates into the city.

1141
00:45:51,233 --> 00:45:54,400
Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers

1142
00:45:54,416 --> 00:45:57,533
and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters and

1143
00:45:57,533 --> 00:45:59,333
everyone who loves and practices lying.

1144
00:46:00,050 --> 00:46:03,300
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these

1145
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:04,849
things for the churches.

1146
00:46:04,916 --> 00:46:08,333
I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.

1147
00:46:10,433 --> 00:46:11,866
Love it.

1148
00:46:11,866 --> 00:46:13,233
Yeah.

1149
00:46:13,750 --> 00:46:15,000
His rewards with him.

1150
00:46:15,050 --> 00:46:18,099
We're going to be rewarded at the rapture of the church.

1151
00:46:18,116 --> 00:46:22,666
Um, for our our work here on the server.

1152
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:23,449
isn't that crazy?

1153
00:46:23,516 --> 00:46:25,133
He's going to reward us.

1154
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:26,266
This is how good he is.

1155
00:46:26,333 --> 00:46:29,266
He's going to reward us for doing what we're supposed to do.

1156
00:46:29,333 --> 00:46:29,750
Exactly.

1157
00:46:29,816 --> 00:46:30,283
Exactly.

1158
00:46:30,349 --> 00:46:33,583
Yeah, for for doing what

1159
00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:34,800
he called us today.

1160
00:46:35,699 --> 00:46:39,050
And he lets us know that he

1161
00:46:39,050 --> 00:46:42,216
is and has always been in

1162
00:46:42,233 --> 00:46:43,433
control, right?

1163
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:47,099
Ephesians one, 6 through 12.

1164
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,766
Um, Here's one thing I want to know.

1165
00:46:51,833 --> 00:46:54,833
Only a blood born again, child of God has an access

1166
00:46:54,833 --> 00:46:55,849
to the tree of life.

1167
00:46:55,916 --> 00:46:59,033
To the, this is what it says, to the praise

1168
00:46:59,033 --> 00:47:03,166
of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us the

1169
00:47:03,166 --> 00:47:06,283
church, to be accepted in the beloved, in

1170
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:07,966
whom we have redemption through his blood.

1171
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
The forgiveness of sins, according to

1172
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,250
the riches of his grace.

1173
00:47:13,250 --> 00:47:16,366
Now we have those things, not according

1174
00:47:16,366 --> 00:47:19,233
to our riches, but according to his riches, right?

1175
00:47:19,316 --> 00:47:22,316
So we have redemption through his blood, we have forgiven us of sins

1176
00:47:22,316 --> 00:47:25,483
according to the reason of his Christ, wherein he hath abounded

1177
00:47:25,500 --> 00:47:28,800
toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having

1178
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,099
made known unto us the mystery of his will,

1179
00:47:32,099 --> 00:47:35,449
in the word of God, according to his good pleasure which

1180
00:47:35,449 --> 00:47:36,766
he hath purposed in himself.

1181
00:47:36,949 --> 00:47:40,000
Then in the dispensation of the fullness of times,

1182
00:47:40,016 --> 00:47:43,250
he might gather together in one all things

1183
00:47:43,250 --> 00:47:45,283
in Christ, who is in Christ.

1184
00:47:45,349 --> 00:47:46,300
We're in Christ.

1185
00:47:46,366 --> 00:47:47,199
in Christ.

1186
00:47:47,266 --> 00:47:49,666
We are in Christ, Jesus.

1187
00:47:49,733 --> 00:47:51,166
telling somebody that the other night.

1188
00:47:51,166 --> 00:47:52,533
Oh, it's huge, man.

1189
00:47:52,616 --> 00:47:54,466
Yeah, we are in Christ.

1190
00:47:54,533 --> 00:47:56,033
Both what you're in heaven.

1191
00:47:56,099 --> 00:47:59,333
and what you're in earth, even in him, in whom

1192
00:47:59,333 --> 00:48:02,500
also we have obtained inheritance.

1193
00:48:02,949 --> 00:48:03,349
Okay?

1194
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,066
Being predestinated, according to the purpose

1195
00:48:07,066 --> 00:48:10,983
of whom, whom

1196
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,266
worketh all things after the

1197
00:48:14,266 --> 00:48:17,266
counsel of his own will, that we should be to

1198
00:48:17,266 --> 00:48:20,083
the praise of his glory, who 1st trusted in Christ.

1199
00:48:20,849 --> 00:48:23,866
And so, uh, so we we have we

1200
00:48:23,866 --> 00:48:25,366
have a reward waiting on us.

1201
00:48:25,433 --> 00:48:29,083
We have, we have a purpose,

1202
00:48:29,099 --> 00:48:32,150
right, to fulfill, and that purpose is to

1203
00:48:32,150 --> 00:48:33,400
give glory to God, right?

1204
00:48:36,199 --> 00:48:40,250
It's to the praise of his glory who 1st trusted in Christ.

1205
00:48:40,316 --> 00:48:40,783
That's us.

1206
00:48:40,849 --> 00:48:41,566
That's the church.

1207
00:48:41,633 --> 00:48:43,433
That's what we have to look forward to.

1208
00:48:44,300 --> 00:48:45,416
Uh, so yeah.

1209
00:48:46,366 --> 00:48:46,716
Amen.

1210
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,500
And he said it in Romans 8, 17.

1211
00:48:49,666 --> 00:48:51,933
And if children, then heirs.

1212
00:48:52,066 --> 00:48:52,599
That's right.

1213
00:48:52,616 --> 00:48:55,616
Heirs of God and joint heirs of Christ, if indeed we suffer

1214
00:48:55,616 --> 00:48:58,133
with him, that we may also be glorified together.

1215
00:48:58,199 --> 00:48:58,966
Yes, amen.

1216
00:48:59,033 --> 00:49:00,349
How good is he, man?

1217
00:49:00,416 --> 00:49:01,966
I don't deserve any of that.

1218
00:49:02,033 --> 00:49:02,866
No.

1219
00:49:02,866 --> 00:49:04,300
What did I do?

1220
00:49:04,366 --> 00:49:05,083
What did I do?

1221
00:49:05,150 --> 00:49:07,666
And that's what that's what Paul's saying in his letters.

1222
00:49:07,733 --> 00:49:08,566
Where is boasting then?

1223
00:49:08,633 --> 00:49:09,533
Yeah, yeah.

1224
00:49:09,533 --> 00:49:10,250
First boasting.

1225
00:49:10,316 --> 00:49:12,466
You got nothing to be proud of.

1226
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:13,783
That's right.

1227
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,300
You come to him as a small child.

1228
00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:18,466
And he pours out these rewards and blessings on us and

1229
00:49:18,466 --> 00:49:21,283
how good should we be to him?

1230
00:49:21,349 --> 00:49:22,300
Yes, yeah.

1231
00:49:22,366 --> 00:49:22,666
Yeah.

1232
00:49:23,349 --> 00:49:24,900
It should be endless, right?

1233
00:49:24,949 --> 00:49:26,683
We shouldn't even have to think about it.

1234
00:49:26,750 --> 00:49:28,666
And we should really never complain.

1235
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,750
Never.

1236
00:49:29,816 --> 00:49:30,766
Ever.

1237
00:49:30,833 --> 00:49:32,383
I mean, do we?

1238
00:49:32,449 --> 00:49:32,683
Yeah.

1239
00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:33,816
But should we?

1240
00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:34,316
No.

1241
00:49:34,366 --> 00:49:36,099
I mean, we have nothing to complain about.

1242
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:39,349
Guys, he could have saved us and just left us here.

1243
00:49:39,416 --> 00:49:40,366
Right?

1244
00:49:40,433 --> 00:49:43,433
You could have said, okay, I'm not going to send you to hell, but you're just going

1245
00:49:43,433 --> 00:49:46,783
to live out, you're going to live out the remainder of your of

1246
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,800
your eternity and you're going to be on this

1247
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,849
earth and they're still going to be seeing it and they're still going to be suffering in it

1248
00:49:52,849 --> 00:49:55,966
and all the things, but you're just going to, just going to keep going

1249
00:49:55,966 --> 00:49:57,933
through it and going through it and going through it and going through it.

1250
00:49:58,016 --> 00:49:59,750
But he didn't leave us in that either, right?

1251
00:49:59,816 --> 00:50:02,083
He saved us from hell, right?

1252
00:50:02,150 --> 00:50:05,566
I mean, again, he gives us this list, the redemption.

1253
00:50:05,633 --> 00:50:09,349
We have, we've been accepted in the beloved, right?

1254
00:50:09,416 --> 00:50:12,716
We are, again, we're in Christ, in Christ.

1255
00:50:12,766 --> 00:50:15,933
We have been accepted, not because of me, not because of you,

1256
00:50:15,949 --> 00:50:19,066
because we are in the beloved, because he is in

1257
00:50:19,066 --> 00:50:20,433
us and we are in him.

1258
00:50:20,516 --> 00:50:23,516
And so we've been accepted in the beloved

1259
00:50:23,516 --> 00:50:26,566
and we have redemption through his

1260
00:50:26,566 --> 00:50:29,199
blood and forgiveness of sins.

1261
00:50:29,266 --> 00:50:31,666
We've been redeemed, we've been bought with a price.

1262
00:50:31,733 --> 00:50:33,766
He didn't just save us to leave us here.

1263
00:50:33,833 --> 00:50:35,566
He saved us to bring us home one day.

1264
00:50:35,633 --> 00:50:39,283
And not only that, it goes on to tell us that we have,

1265
00:50:39,300 --> 00:50:42,416
there's a reward coming for all this stuff that we don't even deserve.

1266
00:50:42,466 --> 00:50:43,366
Amen.

1267
00:50:44,099 --> 00:50:45,300
is good, man.

1268
00:50:45,349 --> 00:50:46,666
It is so good.

1269
00:50:46,733 --> 00:50:48,050
It is so good.

1270
00:50:48,116 --> 00:50:51,166
And that's what I think a lot of people don't get about the Christian life

1271
00:50:51,166 --> 00:50:54,283
too, is that, well, I'm a Christian, but all these bad things keep

1272
00:50:54,300 --> 00:50:56,750
happening to me, but well, how you living, right?

1273
00:50:56,816 --> 00:50:58,433
I ain't going into prosperity gospel.

1274
00:50:58,500 --> 00:51:01,733
But I guarantee you, when my son was little, if he did bad things,

1275
00:51:01,733 --> 00:51:02,750
I didn't give him good things.

1276
00:51:03,466 --> 00:51:04,666
He got punishment.

1277
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,266
He got disciplined because I want him to grow up to be a healthy responsible

1278
00:51:08,266 --> 00:51:10,300
material adult that makes a difference in the world.

1279
00:51:10,366 --> 00:51:13,300
And God is the same way with us because he's our Abba father.

1280
00:51:13,366 --> 00:51:14,566
He's got that.

1281
00:51:14,633 --> 00:51:16,183
We got the same dynamic going.

1282
00:51:16,250 --> 00:51:18,516
And if you're doing bad stuff.

1283
00:51:18,599 --> 00:51:19,849
Don't expect a lot of blessings.

1284
00:51:19,916 --> 00:51:22,016
It's like I was talking about will bless you.

1285
00:51:22,066 --> 00:51:24,933
Yeah, he'll he'll pour out the blessings.

1286
00:51:25,016 --> 00:51:26,633
And it's like I was talking about Sunday.

1287
00:51:26,699 --> 00:51:29,750
You need to figure out, are your problems that you're having because of you or

1288
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:32,566
your problems you're having just because, you know, he's giving you through a seat.

1289
00:51:32,633 --> 00:51:34,599
you through a season to learn something, right?

1290
00:51:34,666 --> 00:51:35,083
You know?

1291
00:51:35,150 --> 00:51:37,849
I mean, they can come from both sides of that.

1292
00:51:37,916 --> 00:51:40,966
But a lot of, I'd say probably most of the

1293
00:51:40,966 --> 00:51:43,900
stuff that we go through because we bring on ourselves, don't we?

1294
00:51:43,966 --> 00:51:47,616
And we want to blame we want to blame Satan for it.

1295
00:51:47,699 --> 00:51:48,716
Yeah, it was me.

1296
00:51:48,716 --> 00:51:51,833
Listen, dude, guys, I got up to

1297
00:51:51,833 --> 00:51:54,283
305 pounds.

1298
00:51:54,349 --> 00:51:55,066
Okay?

1299
00:51:55,133 --> 00:51:56,449
God didn't do that to me.

1300
00:51:56,516 --> 00:51:57,883
God didn't do that to me.

1301
00:51:57,949 --> 00:51:59,199
I lost it.

1302
00:51:59,266 --> 00:52:00,699
I've lost 60 now.

1303
00:52:00,766 --> 00:52:01,966
I need to lose more.

1304
00:52:02,033 --> 00:52:03,949
But God didn't put me there.

1305
00:52:04,066 --> 00:52:05,566
I put myself there, right?

1306
00:52:05,699 --> 00:52:08,333
It wasn't like, oh, God, why are you letting me get so fat?

1307
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,866
Like, I'm just shoveling food in my mouth and eating the wrong stuff.

1308
00:52:11,866 --> 00:52:14,983
And, you know, and just like, I'm just a one

1309
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,316
big unhealthy guy.

1310
00:52:16,650 --> 00:52:19,800
And, and, and, you know, and, and I started

1311
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,916
thinking, you know, I want

1312
00:52:22,916 --> 00:52:25,916
to live to see my grandkids, grow up, you know, if the Lord doesn't come

1313
00:52:25,916 --> 00:52:27,349
back, and if he doesn't take us home.

1314
00:52:27,416 --> 00:52:30,583
I want to be able to preach for another 20, 30,

1315
00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:33,116
40 years if the Lord will let me and he'll allow me to.

1316
00:52:33,166 --> 00:52:34,599
You know, I want to be able to serve him.

1317
00:52:34,666 --> 00:52:37,833
And I'm not, I'm not going to be able to, and look, I mean, he, I

1318
00:52:37,849 --> 00:52:39,400
may go out in a car wreck tomorrow.

1319
00:52:39,466 --> 00:52:41,383
You know, I'm on the road 24 hours a day.

1320
00:52:41,449 --> 00:52:46,300
sometimes it feels like, but but still, I

1321
00:52:46,316 --> 00:52:47,866
don't want to make it my own doing.

1322
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:48,416
right?

1323
00:52:48,466 --> 00:52:51,933
I want to do everything I can to take care the

1324
00:52:51,949 --> 00:52:55,116
exercise profit is little, but there is some that

1325
00:52:55,133 --> 00:52:56,150
it profits, right?

1326
00:52:56,216 --> 00:52:58,916
So so we take care of what God has given us.

1327
00:52:58,966 --> 00:52:59,800
This is our temple.

1328
00:52:59,866 --> 00:53:02,383
And don't tear it down.

1329
00:53:02,449 --> 00:53:05,983
I've been rough enough on it for the last 50 years, you

1330
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,066
know, 52 years, whatever.

1331
00:53:07,133 --> 00:53:10,133
But listen, I want to take care of what God has

1332
00:53:10,133 --> 00:53:13,133
given me, and I want to use it for his glory and his honor.

1333
00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:16,316
Yeah, you can, you can catch a foul

1334
00:53:16,316 --> 00:53:20,449
ball, you know, or not catch a foul ball. over a pitcher's man.

1335
00:53:20,449 --> 00:53:21,349
Crumbled into a fence.

1336
00:53:21,416 --> 00:53:22,016
Yeah, yeah.

1337
00:53:22,066 --> 00:53:23,383
I saw that yesterday.

1338
00:53:23,449 --> 00:53:27,216
I mean, and everybody was like, ooh, yeah, I heard it.

1339
00:53:27,233 --> 00:53:29,683
I heard everybody go, ooh, yeah.

1340
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,916
All an ambulance.

1341
00:53:31,966 --> 00:53:32,383
Yeah, yeah.

1342
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,449
You were thinking, I thought what was going to happen if you've

1343
00:53:35,449 --> 00:53:38,449
seen those, have you seen those videos where the, where the guys just

1344
00:53:38,449 --> 00:53:41,449
like, he, he just steps over something or steps off the bed

1345
00:53:41,449 --> 00:53:44,566
of the truck or something, you know, and it's talking about like when you think

1346
00:53:44,566 --> 00:53:47,683
you're, when you're 40 or 50 and you think you're

1347
00:53:47,699 --> 00:53:50,933
20 and the guy steps off the bed of the truck and

1348
00:53:50,933 --> 00:53:54,949
he thinks he made it and then he looks back and his body's lying there and he's

1349
00:53:54,949 --> 00:53:57,516
standing outside his body, he's like, I just died.

1350
00:53:57,650 --> 00:54:00,699
I got to upperview this game off, man.

1351
00:54:03,650 --> 00:54:07,133
No, man, but I want to go back to this in Christ, man.

1352
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:10,250
This is something that God's hit me in between

1353
00:54:10,250 --> 00:54:11,266
the eyes with lately.

1354
00:54:11,333 --> 00:54:13,433
It's like all throughout the writings of Paul.

1355
00:54:13,500 --> 00:54:15,833
This guy, he doesn't say, I'm a Christian.

1356
00:54:15,900 --> 00:54:17,266
He doesn't say, I'm a believer.

1357
00:54:17,333 --> 00:54:18,400
I'm a this, I'm a that.

1358
00:54:18,533 --> 00:54:19,550
He says he's in Christ.

1359
00:54:19,616 --> 00:54:20,983
Amen. in Christ.

1360
00:54:21,116 --> 00:54:24,833
And this is what Jesus said in John 17 and his high priestly prayer.

1361
00:54:24,900 --> 00:54:25,916
He's praying to the Father.

1362
00:54:25,966 --> 00:54:29,083
And he says, for their sakes, I sanctify myself that they

1363
00:54:29,099 --> 00:54:32,266
might they themselves might also be sanctified in truth.

1364
00:54:32,333 --> 00:54:35,033
I do not ask on behalf of these alone.

1365
00:54:35,099 --> 00:54:38,216
He's talking about these disciples, but for those also who

1366
00:54:38,216 --> 00:54:39,716
believe in me through their word.

1367
00:54:39,766 --> 00:54:40,183
That's us.

1368
00:54:40,250 --> 00:54:43,250
That's us, that they may all be

1369
00:54:43,250 --> 00:54:46,250
one, even as you, Father, are in me,

1370
00:54:46,250 --> 00:54:49,416
and I in you, that they also may be in us,

1371
00:54:49,433 --> 00:54:51,883
so that the world may believe that you sent me.

1372
00:54:51,949 --> 00:54:52,599
Amen.

1373
00:54:52,616 --> 00:54:54,949
This is huge.

1374
00:54:55,016 --> 00:54:57,283
You know, if you think that you can lose your salvation.

1375
00:54:57,349 --> 00:54:58,966
Jesus ain't losing body parts.

1376
00:54:59,033 --> 00:55:02,449
We have been baptized into the body of Christ.

1377
00:55:02,516 --> 00:55:04,916
We're like so intertwined with him.

1378
00:55:04,966 --> 00:55:06,933
It's impossible to break loose.

1379
00:55:07,016 --> 00:55:07,483
possible.

1380
00:55:07,550 --> 00:55:08,316
impossible.

1381
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,166
And that's why Paul can go on in Romans 8 and say, what can separate us from the love of them?

1382
00:55:12,233 --> 00:55:13,133
Amen, Amen.

1383
00:55:13,199 --> 00:55:13,500
Nothing.

1384
00:55:13,550 --> 00:55:14,016
Nothing.

1385
00:55:14,033 --> 00:55:14,566
Nothing.

1386
00:55:14,633 --> 00:55:17,500
And do you think that we're going to, we're going to go through the tribulation.

1387
00:55:17,566 --> 00:55:19,599
You think God's going to pour the wrath out on himself?

1388
00:55:19,733 --> 00:55:23,199
And we talk a lot about,

1389
00:55:23,216 --> 00:55:25,966
well, God, when he looks at me, he sees me through the blood.

1390
00:55:26,033 --> 00:55:27,650
Well, that ain't quite right.

1391
00:55:27,716 --> 00:55:29,333
What he sees is Jesus.

1392
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,433
He sees his son when he sees that.

1393
00:55:31,500 --> 00:55:33,166
He sees the sacrifice that's been made.

1394
00:55:33,233 --> 00:55:34,550
Yeah, we are in him.

1395
00:55:34,616 --> 00:55:35,333
That's right.

1396
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:35,699
Yeah.

1397
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:36,216
Amen.

1398
00:55:36,300 --> 00:55:37,133
Amen.

1399
00:55:37,199 --> 00:55:39,233
Man, that's secure right there.

1400
00:55:39,300 --> 00:55:39,716
Amen.

1401
00:55:39,766 --> 00:55:40,116
Yeah.

1402
00:55:40,199 --> 00:55:41,033
So secure.

1403
00:55:41,150 --> 00:55:44,316
It's like I've said before, we're in him 7 ways to Sunday.

1404
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,000
right?

1405
00:55:45,050 --> 00:55:46,966
We have been adopted.

1406
00:55:47,033 --> 00:55:49,250
We have came through the blood.

1407
00:55:49,316 --> 00:55:53,033
We, we, we, we're grafted in.

1408
00:55:53,099 --> 00:55:56,216
Uh, we are uh, I

1409
00:55:56,216 --> 00:55:57,349
mean, How many ways can he say it?

1410
00:55:57,416 --> 00:56:00,416
Yeah, he just goes on and I'm just telling us

1411
00:56:00,416 --> 00:56:03,533
all these things that all these ways that we have become

1412
00:56:03,533 --> 00:56:07,066
part of the body of Christ, man,

1413
00:56:07,066 --> 00:56:10,900
and and because of that, we're part of each other, bro.

1414
00:56:10,966 --> 00:56:12,883
Yes, we're brothers and sisters in Christ.

1415
00:56:12,949 --> 00:56:16,250
That Holy Spirit lives in me, lives in both y'all,

1416
00:56:16,250 --> 00:56:18,099
and everybody listening that's a believer.

1417
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:19,849
We're one.

1418
00:56:19,916 --> 00:56:22,016
Yeah, stop coming against each other, right?

1419
00:56:22,066 --> 00:56:25,300
Yeah, I mean, a house divided will fall, right?

1420
00:56:25,366 --> 00:56:26,083
It can't stand.

1421
00:56:26,150 --> 00:56:27,099
It can't stand.

1422
00:56:27,166 --> 00:56:27,633
Yeah.

1423
00:56:28,666 --> 00:56:30,166
I like that.

1424
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:31,016
Amen.

1425
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:32,816
I like that.

1426
00:56:32,866 --> 00:56:33,216
Oh, man.

1427
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:36,050
And this is one I just, I, I, this always come up with.

1428
00:56:36,116 --> 00:56:39,166
the alpha, the omega, the beginning, the end, 1st and last.

1429
00:56:39,166 --> 00:56:39,933
Yeah, yeah.

1430
00:56:40,016 --> 00:56:41,033
I saved you a lot, too.

1431
00:56:41,099 --> 00:56:43,066
I mean, when I pray, I say that.

1432
00:56:43,133 --> 00:56:45,349
I'm just like, it's just so powerful.

1433
00:56:45,766 --> 00:56:47,616
All that he is.

1434
00:56:47,699 --> 00:56:48,166
Yeah, yeah.

1435
00:56:48,233 --> 00:56:49,550
He is the whole Greek alphabet.

1436
00:56:49,616 --> 00:56:51,533
So, yeah, he is he is.

1437
00:56:52,250 --> 00:56:55,250
And we're going to spend eternity praising

1438
00:56:55,250 --> 00:56:58,300
this man Jesus, if you don't like to

1439
00:56:58,316 --> 00:57:01,133
worship him now, you're going to hate heaven.

1440
00:57:01,199 --> 00:57:02,150
Right?

1441
00:57:02,216 --> 00:57:03,716
You're going to hate heaven.

1442
00:57:04,066 --> 00:57:06,516
He's David's offspring.

1443
00:57:07,099 --> 00:57:10,366
So, so he's, he's connected,

1444
00:57:10,366 --> 00:57:13,366
he's connecting him with the old Testament,

1445
00:57:13,366 --> 00:57:17,016
but he is the bright and morning star to the church.

1446
00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:21,116
So have you ever noticed that the morning star appears

1447
00:57:21,116 --> 00:57:23,633
at the darkest time of night.

1448
00:57:23,933 --> 00:57:27,050
It doesn't it doesn't appear after the

1449
00:57:27,050 --> 00:57:28,550
the dawn breaks.

1450
00:57:28,616 --> 00:57:31,733
The morning star appears at

1451
00:57:31,733 --> 00:57:35,500
the very darkest time of night before the

1452
00:57:35,516 --> 00:57:37,783
light is breached before morning comes.

1453
00:57:37,849 --> 00:57:40,783
He will always, always, always lie their way.

1454
00:57:40,849 --> 00:57:41,500
Amen.

1455
00:57:41,516 --> 00:57:43,849
He's the bride, he's the bride and morning star.

1456
00:57:43,916 --> 00:57:46,133
He's also he's also the root of David.

1457
00:57:47,449 --> 00:57:48,699
Oh, Ben's of David Dre.

1458
00:57:48,766 --> 00:57:49,066
right.

1459
00:57:49,133 --> 00:57:49,433
He is.

1460
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:50,566
He's way before David.

1461
00:57:50,633 --> 00:57:51,233
He's well.

1462
00:57:51,300 --> 00:57:52,133
And he's way after David.

1463
00:57:52,199 --> 00:57:52,849
Yeah, yeah.

1464
00:57:52,916 --> 00:57:55,966
You know, I want to, I want to touch on that, the bride and morning

1465
00:57:55,966 --> 00:57:59,083
star for just a 2nd because I've seen a lot of people get really worked

1466
00:57:59,099 --> 00:58:03,050
up about some of the newer translations because when you read Isaiah

1467
00:58:03,050 --> 00:58:06,166
where it talks about Satan and it talks about Lucifer and it refers to him as the morning star

1468
00:58:06,166 --> 00:58:09,166
instead of sun of the morning, the way that the King James version and they're

1469
00:58:09,166 --> 00:58:10,783
like, oh, this is them trying to compare him to Christ.

1470
00:58:11,900 --> 00:58:13,916
There's actually an interesting thing there.

1471
00:58:13,966 --> 00:58:14,916
No.

1472
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,416
That is him attempting to take the name and

1473
00:58:18,416 --> 00:58:21,416
take the position of Christ for himself and say, I

1474
00:58:21,416 --> 00:58:23,383
am the bright.

1475
00:58:23,516 --> 00:58:25,016
I am the morning star.

1476
00:58:25,066 --> 00:58:26,566
He doesn't call himself the bright morning star.

1477
00:58:26,633 --> 00:58:27,949
He says, I am the morning star.

1478
00:58:28,016 --> 00:58:30,233
And then Christ comes along and says, no, you're not.

1479
00:58:30,300 --> 00:58:34,199
Cast him into the lake of fire and says, I am the bride and morning star.

1480
00:58:34,250 --> 00:58:35,750
So when people, you get worked up about that.

1481
00:58:35,816 --> 00:58:37,616
Understand that that was very intentional.

1482
00:58:37,666 --> 00:58:40,666
That word Lucifer actually does mean morning start doesn't mean

1483
00:58:40,666 --> 00:58:44,133
the sun of the morning, the way it's translated, but it translates both ways.

1484
00:58:44,216 --> 00:58:45,883
It's one of those words that means multiple things.

1485
00:58:45,949 --> 00:58:49,849
That was Satan trying to take the position of Christ.

1486
00:58:49,966 --> 00:58:51,933
He wanted to be the ruler of the earth.

1487
00:58:52,016 --> 00:58:54,533
He was given power over the air.

1488
00:58:54,599 --> 00:58:55,966
He was the prince of the powers of the air.

1489
00:58:56,033 --> 00:58:59,033
He's given that for a time, not for eternity,

1490
00:58:59,033 --> 00:59:01,133
not for always for a time.

1491
00:59:01,199 --> 00:59:04,550
And now we have Christ saying, it's all back to me.

1492
00:59:04,616 --> 00:59:05,816
It's all mine.

1493
00:59:05,866 --> 00:59:08,866
I am the one who now is in control, and

1494
00:59:08,866 --> 00:59:11,866
I've got the power over the earth, and I've got this new heaven and

1495
00:59:11,866 --> 00:59:15,099
new earth that at the end of the day, he made all that too,

1496
00:59:15,116 --> 00:59:18,233
because nothing that was made was made without him, and by

1497
00:59:18,233 --> 00:59:20,750
him and through him and for him, all things were made, which were made.

1498
00:59:20,816 --> 00:59:24,283
I mean, that's exactly, that's where we're at when we get to the end here.

1499
00:59:24,349 --> 00:59:26,316
So don't get so worked up about that.

1500
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,699
I've seen people getting real worked up about that in the last couple of months on Facebook and

1501
00:59:29,699 --> 00:59:31,616
stuff talking about why you can't read modern translation.

1502
00:59:31,666 --> 00:59:32,683
I'm like, no, no, no, no.

1503
00:59:32,750 --> 00:59:34,116
You don't understand what the word means.

1504
00:59:34,199 --> 00:59:37,250
That is Satan attempting to claim for himself the power

1505
00:59:37,250 --> 00:59:39,466
of Christ because that's all he does.

1506
00:59:39,533 --> 00:59:40,433
He's a copycat.

1507
00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:43,550
He is a cheap, pathetic imitation of the real

1508
00:59:43,550 --> 00:59:46,599
father and of the real son, and he is just doing nothing

1509
00:59:46,616 --> 00:59:47,983
but trying to claim what is theirs.

1510
00:59:48,050 --> 00:59:51,650
Yeah, this world's full of Christians that are twisting

1511
00:59:51,650 --> 00:59:54,050
Greek and Hebrew words too, to make them fit what they want.

1512
00:59:54,116 --> 00:59:54,833
Yeah,

1513
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:55,550
And that's not what it is.

1514
00:59:55,666 --> 00:59:58,900
You got you got guys who spent their entire lives

1515
00:59:58,916 --> 01:00:02,033
studying Greek or Hebrew that have translated

1516
01:00:02,033 --> 01:00:05,083
this stuff from the original and they know how this stuff fits together

1517
01:00:05,099 --> 01:00:07,433
in context and Senate structures and all this stuff.

1518
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:09,949
We need to be real careful about...

1519
01:00:10,016 --> 01:00:10,966
don't be arguing with them.

1520
01:00:11,033 --> 01:00:11,933
Be careful with it.

1521
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,050
Hey, I want to back up to verse 14, right before we go

1522
01:00:15,050 --> 01:00:18,099
to 17 because it says blessed are

1523
01:00:18,116 --> 01:00:21,883
those who wash their ropes so that they might have the right to the tree of life.

1524
01:00:21,949 --> 01:00:24,516
So what is how do you how do you wash your robes?

1525
01:00:24,599 --> 01:00:25,966
In the blood of Christ.

1526
01:00:26,033 --> 01:00:26,933
blood of Christ.

1527
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,166
Hey, the way the King James translates that is blessed

1528
01:00:30,166 --> 01:00:32,016
are they that do his commandments.

1529
01:00:32,150 --> 01:00:33,283
Yeah, yeah.

1530
01:00:33,650 --> 01:00:36,699
His commandment is, believe.

1531
01:00:36,766 --> 01:00:37,366
That's right

1532
01:00:37,550 --> 01:00:38,150
Amen.

1533
01:00:38,216 --> 01:00:39,716
Believe it.

1534
01:00:39,949 --> 01:00:40,733
Believe it.

1535
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,316
That's the work that we have to work and it ain't no work.

1536
01:00:43,366 --> 01:00:44,683
It's to believe.

1537
01:00:44,750 --> 01:00:45,650
Exactly.

1538
01:00:45,716 --> 01:00:47,516
Because something else tears me up.

1539
01:00:47,566 --> 01:00:49,183
People talk, well, it believes the work, right?

1540
01:00:49,250 --> 01:00:51,099
No, he's talking about works of the law.

1541
01:00:51,166 --> 01:00:53,500
Paul knows what he's talking about with works of law.

1542
01:00:53,566 --> 01:00:53,983
He lived it.

1543
01:00:54,050 --> 01:00:54,583
He did.

1544
01:00:54,599 --> 01:00:54,900
Right.

1545
01:00:54,949 --> 01:00:56,150
That's what he's talking about.

1546
01:00:56,216 --> 01:00:57,716
Believe us, just believe.

1547
01:00:57,766 --> 01:00:59,016
But you trust me.

1548
01:00:59,099 --> 01:01:02,150
You know, it's the, it's amazing to me when you take the time to

1549
01:01:02,150 --> 01:01:05,150
read all of Paul's writings, you

1550
01:01:05,150 --> 01:01:07,666
know, Romans through, through Titus.

1551
01:01:07,733 --> 01:01:08,633
Did he write Jude?

1552
01:01:08,699 --> 01:01:09,233
I can't remember.

1553
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:11,566
But Romans threw all the way up, almost to Revelation.

1554
01:01:11,633 --> 01:01:14,933
He's written so much of the New Testament.

1555
01:01:14,933 --> 01:01:17,500
And his whole thing is, it's not about the works.

1556
01:01:17,566 --> 01:01:18,400
It's not about you.

1557
01:01:18,466 --> 01:01:19,300
It's about Christ.

1558
01:01:19,366 --> 01:01:20,616
It's about Jesus.

1559
01:01:20,699 --> 01:01:21,466
It's about Jesus.

1560
01:01:21,533 --> 01:01:25,483
And even Peter and James come along with him and say, hey, guys, guess what?

1561
01:01:25,550 --> 01:01:28,849
Yeah, the works, you

1562
01:01:28,849 --> 01:01:32,016
got, you better be working because if you've changed, you got to show, you've changed.

1563
01:01:32,150 --> 01:01:33,216
You got to actually make a change.

1564
01:01:33,300 --> 01:01:35,033
You can't just, oh, I've changed.

1565
01:01:35,099 --> 01:01:36,900
And then keep living the same way.

1566
01:01:36,949 --> 01:01:39,099
They come along, but they don't do anything to deny it.

1567
01:01:39,166 --> 01:01:41,800
They never contradict what Paul says.

1568
01:01:41,866 --> 01:01:45,816
And there was this, for some reason, people were trying to take these things out of context.

1569
01:01:45,949 --> 01:01:49,550
And I'm sure back in the day, I, I, my, my actual suspicion

1570
01:01:49,550 --> 01:01:52,666
on why they, the, all 3 of them wrote about that is because

1571
01:01:52,666 --> 01:01:56,316
people were arguing about, well, I heard he said, and they were like, all right, fine.

1572
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:57,349
We going to put it down and write.

1573
01:01:57,416 --> 01:01:57,883
This is what I said.

1574
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,800
That's one of the reasons I love Paul so much because this guy lived

1575
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,000
self-righteous.

1576
01:02:03,050 --> 01:02:03,466
Exactly.

1577
01:02:03,466 --> 01:02:06,216
They knew it inside now at the law of Moses.

1578
01:02:06,300 --> 01:02:09,050
He was blameless, according to law, according to Philippians 3.

1579
01:02:09,349 --> 01:02:09,699
That's right.

1580
01:02:10,199 --> 01:02:11,216
And what did you say?

1581
01:02:11,266 --> 01:02:12,699
He counted it all as dunk.

1582
01:02:12,766 --> 01:02:13,300
It's done.

1583
01:02:13,316 --> 01:02:13,966
Yeah, yeah.

1584
01:02:14,033 --> 01:02:16,133
Called himself the chief among sinners later, right?

1585
01:02:16,199 --> 01:02:19,250
He was that Pharisee that Jesus was talking to that said,

1586
01:02:19,250 --> 01:02:23,150
1st clean the inside the cup and outside takes care of itself, whitewashed tomb.

1587
01:02:23,216 --> 01:02:24,283
Yeah.

1588
01:02:24,300 --> 01:02:24,650
Yeah.

1589
01:02:24,716 --> 01:02:25,250
Amen.

1590
01:02:25,316 --> 01:02:26,150
He was one of them.

1591
01:02:26,216 --> 01:02:26,983
That's right.

1592
01:02:27,050 --> 01:02:27,466
He was.

1593
01:02:27,533 --> 01:02:29,383
He had it all perfect on the outside.

1594
01:02:29,449 --> 01:02:34,066
When he was holding the coach to the men that were that were stoning Stephen.

1595
01:02:34,900 --> 01:02:37,133
I mean, he thought he was doing good.

1596
01:02:37,199 --> 01:02:38,866
He thought he was doing right.

1597
01:02:38,933 --> 01:02:40,599
Yeah, he felt righteous.

1598
01:02:40,666 --> 01:02:43,483
Yeah, he felt like he was, yeah, self-righteousness.

1599
01:02:43,550 --> 01:02:43,599
yeah

1600
01:02:43,733 --> 01:02:47,150
By the way, that right there is the reason why when

1601
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,449
you can't go by feelings all the time.

1602
01:02:50,516 --> 01:02:53,566
If you're basing everything on feelings, they are going to mislead

1603
01:02:53,566 --> 01:02:56,566
you, they're going to lead you the wrong way because sometimes it feels good to do the wrong thing.

1604
01:02:56,633 --> 01:02:59,683
Paul stood there watching,

1605
01:02:59,699 --> 01:03:02,699
yeah, watching a man being stoned to

1606
01:03:02,699 --> 01:03:06,300
death because he was willing to say that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

1607
01:03:06,349 --> 01:03:09,400
And he's standing there watching these men stone him,

1608
01:03:09,416 --> 01:03:12,533
holding their coach, cheering them on, and feeling

1609
01:03:12,533 --> 01:03:15,533
absolutely righteous and

1610
01:03:15,533 --> 01:03:18,650
blameless and sinless and justified

1611
01:03:18,650 --> 01:03:21,466
and felt like he was doing what he is supposed to do.

1612
01:03:21,533 --> 01:03:23,449
If you go by your feelings, you end up like that.

1613
01:03:23,516 --> 01:03:27,050
And we end up as Christians throwing spiritual stones at people.

1614
01:03:27,116 --> 01:03:27,949
Yes.

1615
01:03:28,016 --> 01:03:31,366
Oh, judging, man, the places we don't need to be judging.

1616
01:03:31,433 --> 01:03:35,150
Like, you know, how that person's dress coming in, you know?

1617
01:03:35,216 --> 01:03:37,849
And I'm not talking about provocative requests.

1618
01:03:37,916 --> 01:03:40,250
I'm like, oh, yeah, you should wear something better than that.

1619
01:03:40,316 --> 01:03:41,933
Get that hat off, you know, dude.

1620
01:03:41,933 --> 01:03:43,483
Don't bring that in here.

1621
01:03:43,550 --> 01:03:44,449
Don't do this.

1622
01:03:44,633 --> 01:03:45,766
They come in in jeans.

1623
01:03:45,833 --> 01:03:46,483
Yeah.

1624
01:03:46,500 --> 01:03:48,233
I'm out.

1625
01:03:48,300 --> 01:03:49,433
Yeah, yeah.

1626
01:03:49,650 --> 01:03:53,216
I mean, uh, you know, but we do.

1627
01:03:53,266 --> 01:03:54,633
We do the we do the same thing.

1628
01:03:54,716 --> 01:03:57,833
We, we, we think we, we do things out

1629
01:03:57,833 --> 01:04:01,133
of uh, out of some kind of self-righteous

1630
01:04:01,133 --> 01:04:04,783
spirituality that's not, that's not spiritual at all.

1631
01:04:04,849 --> 01:04:05,916
Ain't love, is it?

1632
01:04:05,933 --> 01:04:07,300
It's got to be real.

1633
01:04:07,366 --> 01:04:10,366
It's got to be something inside and that's that's what Paul didn't

1634
01:04:10,366 --> 01:04:14,016
have in his previous life, but all of a sudden he had to want to instead of a have to.

1635
01:04:14,099 --> 01:04:14,699
Yes.

1636
01:04:14,699 --> 01:04:16,916
Because it was a heart of love that God grew in.

1637
01:04:16,966 --> 01:04:18,633
Transformed his heart.

1638
01:04:18,716 --> 01:04:22,183
And it's just, man, it's 17 is, I got to eat this.

1639
01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:25,550
The spirit and the bride say, come, and let the

1640
01:04:25,550 --> 01:04:28,550
one who hears say, come, and let the one who is thirsty come, let

1641
01:04:28,550 --> 01:04:31,550
the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.

1642
01:04:31,916 --> 01:04:33,283
Yeah.

1643
01:04:33,300 --> 01:04:33,766
Yeah.

1644
01:04:35,250 --> 01:04:36,949
might drop.

1645
01:04:37,016 --> 01:04:40,016
This is a, it's a hymn of imitation.

1646
01:04:40,066 --> 01:04:44,616
The churches to lead this hymn right here and right now.

1647
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:48,416
This is this is what we, this is, this is this is us.

1648
01:04:48,466 --> 01:04:50,266
This is what we should be saying right now.

1649
01:04:50,333 --> 01:04:55,733
Come and let him,

1650
01:04:55,733 --> 01:04:59,383
that the thirst come and whosoever will let him take of the water of life for thee.

1651
01:04:59,449 --> 01:05:02,800
We can give that invitation to the world right

1652
01:05:02,816 --> 01:05:04,616
here and right now.

1653
01:05:04,666 --> 01:05:07,666
I mean, I mean, if you're thirsty, come, if you're hungry,

1654
01:05:07,666 --> 01:05:10,833
come, if you're tired of living, if you're

1655
01:05:10,849 --> 01:05:14,383
listening, and you're tired of living this filthy, dirty,

1656
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,400
wretched life that you're living, then

1657
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,750
Jesus is saying, come, come to Jesus,

1658
01:05:20,750 --> 01:05:22,900
get rid of your filthy ways, get rid of your sin.

1659
01:05:22,966 --> 01:05:26,566
Get rid of of those things that are that are holding you back.

1660
01:05:26,633 --> 01:05:28,133
Come to Jesus.

1661
01:05:28,199 --> 01:05:29,333
Come to Jesus.

1662
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:30,533
It's open.

1663
01:05:30,599 --> 01:05:32,266
It's open to everybody, man.

1664
01:05:32,333 --> 01:05:34,183
Open to everybody, without cost.

1665
01:05:34,250 --> 01:05:35,316
It cost him everything.

1666
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:36,533
Yeah, but us.

1667
01:05:36,716 --> 01:05:38,633
And this is his love.

1668
01:05:38,699 --> 01:05:41,816
He loves us this much to become one

1669
01:05:41,816 --> 01:05:45,466
of us, to be born a poor, naked, defenseless

1670
01:05:45,466 --> 01:05:48,516
baby that can't take care of himself, completely trusting in

1671
01:05:48,533 --> 01:05:52,433
the Father, in that little town of Bethlehem that nobody ever heard of.

1672
01:05:52,433 --> 01:05:52,966
Yeah.

1673
01:05:52,966 --> 01:05:53,800
Israel.

1674
01:05:53,866 --> 01:05:54,816
Right?

1675
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:57,466
And grew up to die naked on a cross.

1676
01:05:58,616 --> 01:05:58,966
For me.

1677
01:05:59,033 --> 01:05:59,633
Amen.

1678
01:05:59,699 --> 01:06:00,466
Amen.

1679
01:06:00,533 --> 01:06:00,949
For me.

1680
01:06:01,016 --> 01:06:02,266
Because he loved us.

1681
01:06:02,333 --> 01:06:03,050
He loved us.

1682
01:06:03,116 --> 01:06:03,766
That's love, man.

1683
01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:06,900
Oh, how he loved us, right?

1684
01:06:06,949 --> 01:06:07,966
I love that song.

1685
01:06:08,033 --> 01:06:09,400
Oh, how he loved this man.

1686
01:06:09,466 --> 01:06:10,833
So come.

1687
01:06:10,849 --> 01:06:11,800
Ben beneath.

1688
01:06:11,816 --> 01:06:13,550
You know, aid of grace and mercy.

1689
01:06:13,616 --> 01:06:17,033
Man, that right there, that one verse pretty

1690
01:06:17,033 --> 01:06:20,199
much completely destroys any argument of,

1691
01:06:20,216 --> 01:06:23,266
well, God will just choose who gets who he saves and he

1692
01:06:23,266 --> 01:06:27,283
picks people because right here it says come and let whosoever

1693
01:06:27,300 --> 01:06:31,066
will let him take of the water of life, really.

1694
01:06:31,133 --> 01:06:32,199
You have to choose it.

1695
01:06:32,266 --> 01:06:33,933
Whosoever will.

1696
01:06:34,016 --> 01:06:36,233
It's not whosoever God has chosen.

1697
01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:38,033
It's not whosoever got picked.

1698
01:06:38,099 --> 01:06:39,233
It's not so whosoever.

1699
01:06:39,300 --> 01:06:42,050
Jesus said, well, I'm going to take you, but I'm not going to take that guy next to you.

1700
01:06:42,116 --> 01:06:42,949
It's whosoever will.

1701
01:06:43,016 --> 01:06:46,316
That means absolutely 100% anybody.

1702
01:06:46,366 --> 01:06:47,133
Would you?

1703
01:06:47,216 --> 01:06:47,683
Would you?

1704
01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:48,099
Right?

1705
01:06:48,116 --> 01:06:49,433
Would you do this?

1706
01:06:49,500 --> 01:06:50,333
Would you would you come?

1707
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:51,466
Would you accept this?

1708
01:06:51,533 --> 01:06:52,300
Would you believe this?

1709
01:06:52,433 --> 01:06:55,849
And it got this hymn of imitation.

1710
01:06:55,916 --> 01:06:58,966
And then he turns around in verse 18 and 19

1711
01:06:58,966 --> 01:07:01,966
and he's like, for I testify to every man that heareth

1712
01:07:01,966 --> 01:07:05,266
the words of the prophecy of this book, like, okay, listen, you got,

1713
01:07:05,266 --> 01:07:06,516
you can accept this if you want to.

1714
01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:11,449
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto

1715
01:07:11,449 --> 01:07:13,066
him the plagues that are written in this book.

1716
01:07:13,133 --> 01:07:16,183
And if any man shall take away from the words of

1717
01:07:16,199 --> 01:07:19,199
this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out

1718
01:07:19,199 --> 01:07:22,550
of the book of life and out of the holy city from the things which

1719
01:07:22,550 --> 01:07:24,099
are written in this book.

1720
01:07:24,166 --> 01:07:27,466
Now, he says,

1721
01:07:27,466 --> 01:07:29,016
he says, hear these words.

1722
01:07:29,099 --> 01:07:32,400
In other words, if you hear the truth, and you reject

1723
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,400
the truth, then you're twisting his word

1724
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,000
to fit your lifestyle and you will not be saved.

1725
01:07:39,050 --> 01:07:40,000
That's what he's saying.

1726
01:07:40,066 --> 01:07:43,183
He's saying, he's not saying, you're saved, and

1727
01:07:43,199 --> 01:07:44,750
then you're not saved.

1728
01:07:44,816 --> 01:07:48,233
No, he's saying, hey, because this is what the this is what the world does.

1729
01:07:48,900 --> 01:07:51,166
And this is where these false prophets come in.

1730
01:07:51,233 --> 01:07:52,300
A lot of these false prophets.

1731
01:07:52,449 --> 01:07:55,916
It's hard for me to believe that someone could continue through

1732
01:07:55,916 --> 01:07:59,033
their whole career, their whole ministry, and

1733
01:07:59,033 --> 01:08:02,083
teach a false prophecy that they know that

1734
01:08:02,099 --> 01:08:03,416
they're gaining from it.

1735
01:08:03,466 --> 01:08:06,699
They know that they're getting something out of it, uh,

1736
01:08:06,716 --> 01:08:09,766
that they're twisting it because they know that they can

1737
01:08:09,766 --> 01:08:12,883
manipulate people and they can bring people in and they can fill

1738
01:08:12,900 --> 01:08:13,916
their churches up.

1739
01:08:14,150 --> 01:08:17,149
It is so hard for me to believe.

1740
01:08:17,216 --> 01:08:20,266
that those people have ever really been saved, because

1741
01:08:20,266 --> 01:08:23,383
if you believe what the word of God says, and you take

1742
01:08:23,399 --> 01:08:26,399
it as it is, then you cannot twist it and you

1743
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:28,133
should be scared to death to do so.

1744
01:08:28,916 --> 01:08:32,516
So I really believe that these

1745
01:08:32,516 --> 01:08:35,683
are people who, who, who, taken the word and saying,

1746
01:08:35,699 --> 01:08:37,616
well, it doesn't mean this, but it means this.

1747
01:08:37,666 --> 01:08:38,916
Or it could mean this.

1748
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,616
I don't think it's that Greek word?

1749
01:08:40,666 --> 01:08:43,533
Yeah, I mean, it was relevant then, but it's not relevant.

1750
01:08:43,616 --> 01:08:44,266
Right?

1751
01:08:44,333 --> 01:08:48,050
You know, this is talking to this group of people, but it's not talking to us.

1752
01:08:48,116 --> 01:08:48,583
Right.

1753
01:08:48,649 --> 01:08:52,366
And man, the Bible says that not

1754
01:08:52,366 --> 01:08:55,233
one jot or tittle of his word shall pass away.

1755
01:08:55,316 --> 01:08:57,166
So it's all relevant.

1756
01:08:57,233 --> 01:08:58,183
It's all here, right?

1757
01:08:58,250 --> 01:09:01,416
It's all profitable for doctrine,

1758
01:09:01,433 --> 01:09:03,350
for recroof, for correction, right?

1759
01:09:03,466 --> 01:09:04,183
in righteousness.

1760
01:09:04,250 --> 01:09:07,666
And so, and so the word of God is,

1761
01:09:07,666 --> 01:09:09,100
it's infallible.

1762
01:09:09,166 --> 01:09:11,800
Man, it's speaking to us.

1763
01:09:11,866 --> 01:09:14,866
And if he's speaking to anything else, he'll tell us, right?

1764
01:09:14,933 --> 01:09:16,483
It's alive.

1765
01:09:16,550 --> 01:09:17,083
It's alive.

1766
01:09:17,100 --> 01:09:17,750
It's alive.

1767
01:09:17,816 --> 01:09:19,666
It's sharper than any 2 edged sword.

1768
01:09:19,733 --> 01:09:20,266
Yeah.

1769
01:09:20,266 --> 01:09:21,699
Come.

1770
01:09:21,766 --> 01:09:24,816
Come, take of the water of life freely.

1771
01:09:24,899 --> 01:09:25,366
Yeah.

1772
01:09:25,366 --> 01:09:26,016
Freely.

1773
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:26,866
Right?

1774
01:09:26,933 --> 01:09:28,183
Freely.

1775
01:09:29,100 --> 01:09:30,716
Because he loves his engine.

1776
01:09:30,766 --> 01:09:32,016
Hey, we got another thing.

1777
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:35,033
We got another thing that we kind of skipped over too in verse 15.

1778
01:09:35,333 --> 01:09:36,100
I want to hit real quick.

1779
01:09:36,166 --> 01:09:39,216
It said outside of the dogs and sorcerers,

1780
01:09:39,233 --> 01:09:40,966
immortal persons and murders, adulters.

1781
01:09:41,033 --> 01:09:42,350
Everyone loves a practices line.

1782
01:09:42,416 --> 01:09:43,550
This is not annihilation, man.

1783
01:09:43,616 --> 01:09:45,716
This is not annihilation.

1784
01:09:45,766 --> 01:09:47,683
These people who are in the lake of fire.

1785
01:09:47,750 --> 01:09:48,816
These are the people.

1786
01:09:48,899 --> 01:09:50,399
They're outside.

1787
01:09:50,449 --> 01:09:52,783
They're lasting forever like this.

1788
01:09:52,850 --> 01:09:54,649
Yeah, they're not coming in, right?

1789
01:09:54,716 --> 01:09:55,850
No.

1790
01:09:55,916 --> 01:09:59,383
And dogs were filthy scavengers and biblical times too, right?

1791
01:09:59,449 --> 01:10:00,100
That's what they.

1792
01:10:00,166 --> 01:10:02,683
Yeah, they weren't your adorable little pet that they are now.

1793
01:10:02,750 --> 01:10:04,550
No. no.

1794
01:10:04,616 --> 01:10:06,766
It wasn't Chichi, right?

1795
01:10:06,833 --> 01:10:09,833
It was a good mood, baby, did you?

1796
01:10:09,899 --> 01:10:13,316
I said, see, I'll

1797
01:10:13,316 --> 01:10:15,583
tell you what kills me to say these grown men.

1798
01:10:16,016 --> 01:10:18,533
You see him outside of his house.

1799
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:19,366
He tough, man.

1800
01:10:19,433 --> 01:10:20,333
He's a tough guy.

1801
01:10:20,399 --> 01:10:21,533
He's strong, he's big.

1802
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,600
And then you see him with his dog in his house, and you don't go,

1803
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,350
but, but, but, but...

1804
01:10:29,149 --> 01:10:29,866
Do it again.

1805
01:10:31,949 --> 01:10:34,550
Like, are you the same dude today?

1806
01:10:34,949 --> 01:10:38,216
Whoa, just...

1807
01:10:38,216 --> 01:10:39,233
He was more respect.

1808
01:10:39,300 --> 01:10:39,833
Just, yeah.

1809
01:10:39,899 --> 01:10:41,933
Yeah, I had some respect for you.

1810
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,733
I'll send you a Chihuahuan you left, right?

1811
01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:48,416
Huh, I didn't know you suddenly became a woman when you went in your house.

1812
01:10:48,466 --> 01:10:49,000
What happened here?

1813
01:10:50,100 --> 01:10:50,516
Yeah.

1814
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,250
Oh, man.

1815
01:10:52,316 --> 01:10:53,149
All right.

1816
01:10:53,216 --> 01:10:54,949
You want to hit the last 2 here?

1817
01:10:55,016 --> 01:10:55,366
Sure.

1818
01:10:55,433 --> 01:10:56,083
First 20.

1819
01:10:56,399 --> 01:11:00,050
He who testifies to these things says, yes, I'm coming quickly.

1820
01:11:00,116 --> 01:11:00,883
Amen.

1821
01:11:01,449 --> 01:11:02,633
Come, Lord Jesus.

1822
01:11:02,699 --> 01:11:05,216
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.

1823
01:11:05,266 --> 01:11:05,916
Amen.

1824
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:06,649
Amen.

1825
01:11:06,716 --> 01:11:07,316
Amen.

1826
01:11:07,366 --> 01:11:08,016
Amen.

1827
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:08,750
Yeah.

1828
01:11:09,399 --> 01:11:12,649
You know, the most powerful thing, I think, about

1829
01:11:12,649 --> 01:11:16,366
this whole chapter is Jesus in verse 17's income.

1830
01:11:16,899 --> 01:11:21,899
And anybody, anybody is welcome.

1831
01:11:21,949 --> 01:11:23,683
Everybody's welcoming his table.

1832
01:11:23,750 --> 01:11:26,750
Don't don't don't think you got to

1833
01:11:26,750 --> 01:11:28,183
clean yourself up first.

1834
01:11:28,250 --> 01:11:29,566
don't think you got a well.

1835
01:11:29,633 --> 01:11:32,083
I got to kick this habit, and then I'll start, you know?

1836
01:11:32,149 --> 01:11:34,966
And people come up with all these excuses.

1837
01:11:35,033 --> 01:11:38,383
I remember me and dying were witnessing to a neighbor of ours quite

1838
01:11:38,399 --> 01:11:41,516
a few years ago and he was in the hospital,

1839
01:11:41,516 --> 01:11:43,183
man, and not looking good.

1840
01:11:43,899 --> 01:11:46,916
And just kept trying to get him to accept Jesus

1841
01:11:46,916 --> 01:11:48,533
and he said, you know what?

1842
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,600
When I get out of here, I'm going to come over there to Mountain View

1843
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:55,366
Baptist Church and I'm going to go down front and I'm going to accept Jesus.

1844
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:57,949
He never did.

1845
01:11:58,066 --> 01:12:00,466
He never got out of that hospital.

1846
01:12:00,533 --> 01:12:03,350
And a lot of people are in that position right now.

1847
01:12:03,416 --> 01:12:04,733
Maybe that's that are listening.

1848
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:05,633
I hope you are.

1849
01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:08,800
No, that you come as you are.

1850
01:12:08,866 --> 01:12:10,416
Jesus won't leave you like you are.

1851
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:13,133
He will he will fill you with peace.

1852
01:12:13,199 --> 01:12:14,750
He will fill you with joy.

1853
01:12:14,816 --> 01:12:18,766
He will fill you with hope and all the love you've ever known.

1854
01:12:18,833 --> 01:12:21,283
and a good bunch of people to hang around with.

1855
01:12:21,416 --> 01:12:24,649
And to learn from him and share

1856
01:12:24,649 --> 01:12:28,716
things with and lay your burdens on him, a place to go.

1857
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,800
I think I witnessed to that same guy in his front

1858
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,949
yard and he told me basically the same thing.

1859
01:12:34,016 --> 01:12:35,333
He's going get there one day.

1860
01:12:35,816 --> 01:12:38,149
You don't have to be in a church.

1861
01:12:38,216 --> 01:12:40,666
You don't have to be at an altar, right?

1862
01:12:40,733 --> 01:12:45,350
Make your altar wherever you are right now and yeah,

1863
01:12:45,350 --> 01:12:47,016
partake of the water of life freely.

1864
01:12:47,100 --> 01:12:50,866
His grace is extended to everyone who will accept it.

1865
01:12:50,933 --> 01:12:51,233
Right?

1866
01:12:52,449 --> 01:12:53,816
And I love this.

1867
01:12:53,866 --> 01:12:57,333
He's going to come quickly when he comes.

1868
01:12:57,416 --> 01:12:59,683
I think that's what we need to realize, you know?

1869
01:12:59,750 --> 01:13:02,916
It's not so much that, okay, yes, it's

1870
01:13:02,933 --> 01:13:05,183
been 2000 years.

1871
01:13:05,550 --> 01:13:08,633
But what he's saying is is when he comes, he's going to come quickly.

1872
01:13:08,699 --> 01:13:09,766
It's going to be done.

1873
01:13:09,899 --> 01:13:10,433
going to be over.

1874
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:11,699
He said, boom, boom, boom.

1875
01:13:11,750 --> 01:13:14,750
And he will relieve the world of

1876
01:13:14,750 --> 01:13:17,750
the pain of suffering and sin when he comes.

1877
01:13:17,816 --> 01:13:18,416
Amen.

1878
01:13:18,416 --> 01:13:19,366
When he comes.

1879
01:13:19,433 --> 01:13:23,149
Even so come is the cry of the church today.

1880
01:13:23,216 --> 01:13:24,050
Amen.

1881
01:13:24,116 --> 01:13:25,666
It's the cry of the church today.

1882
01:13:25,733 --> 01:13:27,949
It's what we, it's what we say.

1883
01:13:28,016 --> 01:13:29,516
And I'll be honest with you.

1884
01:13:30,699 --> 01:13:35,333
Um, If you tell me that you're saved.

1885
01:13:35,949 --> 01:13:38,816
And and and you're not ready to go right now.

1886
01:13:39,649 --> 01:13:40,500
I hear this.

1887
01:13:40,616 --> 01:13:42,533
There's 2 ways to look at this.

1888
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:43,433
Two ways, look at this.

1889
01:13:44,750 --> 01:13:48,766
People say, uh, well, I mean, I'm ready to go to heaven, but I want to go right now.

1890
01:13:50,149 --> 01:13:53,266
Well, if that, what is your reason behind

1891
01:13:53,266 --> 01:13:54,333
that is what I ask.

1892
01:13:54,416 --> 01:13:57,883
Is your reason behind that is because you have loved ones who are lost?

1893
01:13:57,949 --> 01:14:00,949
You have loved ones who have not come to know Jesus

1894
01:14:00,949 --> 01:14:04,183
yet, you know people that you work with, that you haven't,

1895
01:14:04,199 --> 01:14:07,199
you know, that they haven't yet accepted Christ and you want to

1896
01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:10,066
see more people saved, you want to see your church grow.

1897
01:14:10,133 --> 01:14:13,483
Okay, I'll buy into that because I,

1898
01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:16,066
I, I, I would say that myself.

1899
01:14:16,133 --> 01:14:19,133
I want to see people come to know Jesus

1900
01:14:19,133 --> 01:14:22,250
Christ as our Lord and Savior before he comes back.

1901
01:14:22,316 --> 01:14:25,366
So I, I, I, I pray that in

1902
01:14:25,366 --> 01:14:26,733
that aspect he tarries.

1903
01:14:27,500 --> 01:14:30,600
But on the other side, on the flip side

1904
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:32,516
of that, I long for home.

1905
01:14:32,566 --> 01:14:34,966
Yeah, like I've never longed for home before.

1906
01:14:35,033 --> 01:14:38,033
If your reasoning is just, I just

1907
01:14:38,033 --> 01:14:39,699
want to enjoy this world a little bit more.

1908
01:14:39,716 --> 01:14:42,466
I just want to enjoy the things of this world a little bit more.

1909
01:14:43,350 --> 01:14:46,616
You know, and I mean, I even get the parents who's

1910
01:14:46,616 --> 01:14:47,983
like, I want to spend some more time with my kids.

1911
01:14:48,050 --> 01:14:49,600
I want to do this one, do that, you know?

1912
01:14:49,666 --> 01:14:51,933
It sounds like lot's wife, don't it?

1913
01:14:52,016 --> 01:14:55,016
Yeah, yeah, she looked back and she could not take her

1914
01:14:55,016 --> 01:14:58,183
eyes off of those things that were so

1915
01:14:58,199 --> 01:14:59,933
sinful and so worldly, right?

1916
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,050
When he had something, he was trying to take them to something better.

1917
01:15:03,116 --> 01:15:03,766
Yeah.

1918
01:15:03,833 --> 01:15:04,850
Right?

1919
01:15:04,916 --> 01:15:06,766
I mean, he was trying to take them something better.

1920
01:15:06,833 --> 01:15:10,000
Uh, and, and same with,

1921
01:15:10,016 --> 01:15:13,016
our, our eyes have been a problem,

1922
01:15:13,449 --> 01:15:15,833
our whole entire existence, right?

1923
01:15:15,949 --> 01:15:19,116
I mean, Adam and Eve were like, you know, looking at

1924
01:15:19,133 --> 01:15:22,550
that fruit, looking at that fruit, you know, I got this whole garden.

1925
01:15:23,399 --> 01:15:25,616
I can eat here and here.

1926
01:15:25,666 --> 01:15:28,666
I can eat all this, but there's that tree over there

1927
01:15:28,666 --> 01:15:32,500
that I can't eat of, and...

1928
01:15:32,516 --> 01:15:33,466
It looks good.

1929
01:15:33,533 --> 01:15:35,333
It's so good.

1930
01:15:35,399 --> 01:15:35,866
Yeah, yeah.

1931
01:15:35,933 --> 01:15:36,766
Yeah.

1932
01:15:36,833 --> 01:15:40,066
And and and so that's the things that get us in trouble, right?

1933
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:42,466
But what I'm telling you right now.

1934
01:15:42,533 --> 01:15:46,433
What God has got in store for you is so much better than what you have got in store for you.

1935
01:15:46,550 --> 01:15:47,750
We're just used to this place, aren't we?

1936
01:15:47,816 --> 01:15:49,183
We are comfortable here.

1937
01:15:49,250 --> 01:15:52,483
Even when we're not, you know, absolutely healthy

1938
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:53,566
and everything's not perfect.

1939
01:15:53,633 --> 01:15:54,766
Yeah, we're still comfortable.

1940
01:15:54,833 --> 01:15:56,149
Yeah, yeah, of course.

1941
01:15:56,216 --> 01:16:00,233
The pleasures of this world seem to outweigh the glory of heaven.

1942
01:16:00,350 --> 01:16:02,683
Yeah, we just we just can't we can't imagine.

1943
01:16:02,750 --> 01:16:03,949
But can't wrapper.

1944
01:16:03,949 --> 01:16:07,366
And there's no more evil, you know, that's

1945
01:16:07,366 --> 01:16:10,366
the thing that gets me is a, you know, God is going

1946
01:16:10,366 --> 01:16:11,733
to put an end to evil.

1947
01:16:11,816 --> 01:16:15,233
He's going to, the last thing to die is going to be death is

1948
01:16:15,233 --> 01:16:18,350
going to put an end to death, and it goes right back to Daniel

1949
01:16:18,350 --> 01:16:21,466
9, where he tells us everything he's accomplishing throughout

1950
01:16:21,466 --> 01:16:24,466
this whole thing, from Genesis to Revelation, he's

1951
01:16:24,466 --> 01:16:27,699
going to finish the transgression, make an end of sin, make

1952
01:16:27,716 --> 01:16:31,483
atonement for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, seal

1953
01:16:31,500 --> 01:16:33,600
up vision and prophecy, and anoint the most hope.

1954
01:16:33,649 --> 01:16:34,550
Praise the Lord.

1955
01:16:34,616 --> 01:16:36,466
And man, this complete plant.

1956
01:16:36,533 --> 01:16:39,100
You know, that people think, well, there's a good God.

1957
01:16:39,166 --> 01:16:40,183
Why is there evil in the world?

1958
01:16:40,316 --> 01:16:41,816
Well, there's not going to be for much longer.

1959
01:16:41,933 --> 01:16:42,649
That's right.

1960
01:16:42,716 --> 01:16:43,133
That's right.

1961
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:44,516
Because he's coming quickly, right?

1962
01:16:44,566 --> 01:16:46,533
When he comes, he's coming quickly.

1963
01:16:46,616 --> 01:16:49,733
And I pray that if you're listening and

1964
01:16:49,733 --> 01:16:54,183
I pray that you are going to join me, join us in

1965
01:16:54,199 --> 01:16:57,350
eternity, that we may be face to face to Jesus together.

1966
01:16:57,416 --> 01:17:02,266
And for myself, I'll leave you with this verse.

1967
01:17:02,399 --> 01:17:03,899
Isaiah 5311.

1968
01:17:04,649 --> 01:17:07,666
He shall see of the travail of his soul,

1969
01:17:08,350 --> 01:17:11,149
and shall be satisfied by his knowledge.

1970
01:17:11,449 --> 01:17:14,933
Shall my righteous servant justify many,

1971
01:17:14,933 --> 01:17:17,500
for he shall bear their iniquities.

1972
01:17:17,566 --> 01:17:20,133
He shall bear their sins.

1973
01:17:20,216 --> 01:17:20,983
Amen.

1974
01:17:21,050 --> 01:17:22,116
And he's our only hope.

1975
01:17:22,199 --> 01:17:23,033
He's our only hope.

1976
01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,716
These are only hope.

1977
01:17:24,766 --> 01:17:25,416
Come quickly.

1978
01:17:25,500 --> 01:17:26,333
Amen.

1979
01:17:26,399 --> 01:17:27,050
Lord Jesus.

1980
01:17:27,116 --> 01:17:27,883
Amen.

1981
01:17:27,949 --> 01:17:29,083
Amen.

1982
01:17:30,199 --> 01:17:33,000
And the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

1983
01:17:33,116 --> 01:17:37,433
What an incredible way to

1984
01:17:37,433 --> 01:17:38,933
end the scripture.

1985
01:17:40,850 --> 01:17:44,399
that starts with let there be locked.

1986
01:17:44,516 --> 01:17:45,233
Amen.

1987
01:17:45,233 --> 01:17:47,933
And in the end, it's still all about him.

1988
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:48,949
That's right.

1989
01:17:48,949 --> 01:17:50,316
He is the lie, didn't he?

1990
01:17:52,350 --> 01:17:54,116
So we've wrapped up Revelation.

1991
01:17:54,166 --> 01:17:55,000
It is.

1992
01:18:00,149 --> 01:18:01,366
Something to think about.

1993
01:18:01,949 --> 01:18:05,266
If you're not saved or If

1994
01:18:05,266 --> 01:18:08,683
you are saved and you're not telling people, why not?

1995
01:18:10,300 --> 01:18:13,916
Because not only do we know what's coming in the tribulation,

1996
01:18:13,916 --> 01:18:17,516
not only do we know what's coming with a lake of fire, but we know what comes after.

1997
01:18:17,566 --> 01:18:20,733
And it's beautiful and it's wonderful and it's

1998
01:18:20,750 --> 01:18:23,316
magnificent and it's amazing without cost.

1999
01:18:23,399 --> 01:18:24,416
And it's free.

2000
01:18:24,466 --> 01:18:25,783
It's free.

2001
01:18:25,850 --> 01:18:27,216
Nothing in this world is free.

2002
01:18:27,300 --> 01:18:31,066
Well, let me tell you, there is something that is free, and that is the forgiveness

2003
01:18:31,066 --> 01:18:34,066
and the grace of God that is waiting

2004
01:18:34,066 --> 01:18:35,916
for each and every one of us.

2005
01:18:37,149 --> 01:18:37,850
Tell people.

2006
01:18:37,916 --> 01:18:38,633
Tell people.

2007
01:18:38,699 --> 01:18:42,350
Go out and tell people, spread the gospel.

2008
01:18:42,416 --> 01:18:43,483
Jesus loves you.

2009
01:18:43,550 --> 01:18:44,199
Amen.

2010
01:18:44,216 --> 01:18:44,866
I love it.

2011
01:18:44,933 --> 01:18:45,766
I love that shirt.

2012
01:18:45,833 --> 01:18:46,783
Jesus loves you.

2013
01:18:46,850 --> 01:18:50,266
Go out and spread it and tell everybody you see.

2014
01:18:50,750 --> 01:18:53,866
And so we will come back next time and

2015
01:18:53,866 --> 01:18:56,083
start into the book of Genesis.

2016
01:18:56,149 --> 01:18:58,000
So we've given you the end.

2017
01:18:58,616 --> 01:19:00,533
Now we'll go back and we'll rewind and start back at the beginning.

2018
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,600
So, you know, in a couple of years we make it all the way through to the end

2019
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,050
again, you can be reminded, hey, we've already talked about this.

2020
01:19:08,250 --> 01:19:09,833
Genesis is pretty long, innit?

2021
01:19:09,949 --> 01:19:12,949
Genesis is a very dense book.

2022
01:19:13,016 --> 01:19:14,683
It's a very dense book.

2023
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:16,366
There's a whole lot of information in it.

2024
01:19:16,433 --> 01:19:18,583
There's a whole lot of stories in it.

2025
01:19:18,649 --> 01:19:21,050
50 something check.

2026
01:19:21,050 --> 01:19:22,183
So, yeah.

2027
01:19:22,250 --> 01:19:23,500
She's she's pretty long.

2028
01:19:24,399 --> 01:19:26,333
50, 50 shows, yeah.

2029
01:19:26,399 --> 01:19:29,333
So, yeah, be ready, be ready for that.

2030
01:19:29,399 --> 01:19:31,066
Lots of good stuff to talk about.

2031
01:19:31,133 --> 01:19:33,699
Um, especially the 1st little bit of Genesis.

2032
01:19:33,766 --> 01:19:36,766
there is something I've spent actually a lot of time studying that for

2033
01:19:36,766 --> 01:19:40,116
those 1st 3 or 4 chapters

2034
01:19:40,133 --> 01:19:41,266
there as I was growing up.

2035
01:19:41,333 --> 01:19:43,250
So, uh, I'm really looking forward.

2036
01:19:43,316 --> 01:19:44,149
I love talking about it.

2037
01:19:44,216 --> 01:19:47,633
I love talking about how God made all of this and got us started.

2038
01:19:48,250 --> 01:19:51,533
Because, you know, he had a purpose and he had a plan.

2039
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,100
Well, you just read what that plan was.

2040
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:55,850
He knew the end.

2041
01:19:55,916 --> 01:19:56,816
He knew the end.

2042
01:19:56,816 --> 01:19:59,383
And it was already in already in store for us.

2043
01:19:59,449 --> 01:20:02,983
So... be bold.

2044
01:20:03,050 --> 01:20:05,750
Go out, tell people, and never forget.

2045
01:20:05,816 --> 01:20:08,983
Jesus loves you and tell other people that Jesus loves them too.

2046
01:20:09,050 --> 01:20:12,166
I don't care whether you agree with them or not about things.

2047
01:20:12,233 --> 01:20:15,533
Just remind them, you're still loved, and God wants

2048
01:20:15,533 --> 01:20:17,033
you to be part of his family.

2049
01:20:17,100 --> 01:20:20,149
That old man, that used to go to church with us when

2050
01:20:20,149 --> 01:20:21,399
I was going to Union Hill.

2051
01:20:21,466 --> 01:20:22,783
And this was his saying.

2052
01:20:22,850 --> 01:20:25,716
He said it every time he left you.

2053
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,366
He would say, Jesus loves you, and so do I.

2054
01:20:28,433 --> 01:20:30,283
I love it every time.

2055
01:20:30,350 --> 01:20:31,966
Every time without fail.

2056
01:20:32,033 --> 01:20:34,600
Tell we should be saying that to everybody we meet.

2057
01:20:34,666 --> 01:20:35,016
That's right

2058
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,800
And brother Brian, if you will.

2059
01:20:37,850 --> 01:20:39,166
Pray for us tonight.

2060
01:20:40,100 --> 01:20:45,466
Father, um, You

2061
01:20:45,466 --> 01:20:47,016
are all in all.

2062
01:20:47,949 --> 01:20:49,966
You are everything.

2063
01:20:50,033 --> 01:20:50,449
Um,

2064
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,766
And we should be in awe of you.

2065
01:20:57,833 --> 01:21:01,483
Your word should change us,

2066
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:05,750
should transform us, should be making us new.

2067
01:21:07,250 --> 01:21:09,233
sanctifying us.

2068
01:21:10,250 --> 01:21:12,416
And so God, let us not take it lightly.

2069
01:21:13,699 --> 01:21:17,033
That we have the written word of

2070
01:21:17,033 --> 01:21:20,083
God that, as Dennis has

2071
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:21,116
already said, it's alive.

2072
01:21:22,300 --> 01:21:25,316
God, I pray that we would fall in love

2073
01:21:25,316 --> 01:21:28,433
with it all over again,

2074
01:21:28,433 --> 01:21:29,750
every single day.

2075
01:21:31,199 --> 01:21:34,366
God, I pray that those that are listening would

2076
01:21:34,366 --> 01:21:35,500
fall in love with it.

2077
01:21:35,566 --> 01:21:38,916
Some maybe for the 1st time, some over

2078
01:21:38,933 --> 01:21:42,100
and over again, as many years down the road,

2079
01:21:42,116 --> 01:21:44,333
but I pray that they would fall in love with it.

2080
01:21:44,899 --> 01:21:47,750
I pray for souls to be saved.

2081
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:50,516
God, if we never even know it here.

2082
01:21:50,566 --> 01:21:51,633
That's okay.

2083
01:21:51,716 --> 01:21:53,566
We'll know about eternity.

2084
01:21:54,350 --> 01:21:57,466
I pray for our churches and

2085
01:21:57,466 --> 01:22:00,699
I pray for our church, for Mountain View Baptist Church,

2086
01:22:00,716 --> 01:22:04,033
for, uh, it's ministries,

2087
01:22:04,050 --> 01:22:07,250
and I pray that, uh, We'll

2088
01:22:07,250 --> 01:22:10,250
grow in the grace and the knowledge, and the love and the mercy

2089
01:22:10,250 --> 01:22:11,500
of Jesus Christ.

2090
01:22:11,566 --> 01:22:13,366
Thank you for this time together.

2091
01:22:13,433 --> 01:22:14,566
Thank you for these men.

2092
01:22:14,633 --> 01:22:16,250
And Lord, if you tarry.

2093
01:22:16,316 --> 01:22:19,366
God, let us teach and preach your word with

2094
01:22:19,366 --> 01:22:23,083
the boldness like we've never had before in Jesus' name.

2095
01:22:23,149 --> 01:22:23,616
Amen.
