To give the scenario of what we call the rapture.
00:01:51.958 --> 00:01:53.960
Of what we call the rapture. paul called it,
00:01:54.027 --> 00:01:54.961
Paul called it, "being caught away."
00:01:55.028 --> 00:01:56.596
"being caught away." it is a --
00:01:56.663 --> 00:01:59.432
It is a -- it is the coming of the lord
00:01:59.499 --> 00:02:01.834
It is the coming of the lord and he begins to talk about,
00:02:01.901 --> 00:02:03.403
And he begins to talk about, "but of the day and the hour,
00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:05.305
"but of the day and the hour, no man knows,
00:02:05.371 --> 00:02:06.272
No man knows, even the angels in heaven,
00:02:06.339 --> 00:02:08.041
Even the angels in heaven, but my father only.
00:02:08.107 --> 00:02:09.275
But my father only. but the da --
00:02:09.342 --> 00:02:10.076
But the da -- as it was in the days of noah,
00:02:10.143 --> 00:02:11.511
As it was in the days of noah, so will it be
00:02:11.578 --> 00:02:13.780
So will it be with the coming of
00:02:13.846 --> 00:02:14.280
With the coming of the son of man.
00:02:14.347 --> 00:02:16.216
The son of man. as they were
00:02:16.282 --> 00:02:16.649
As they were eating and drinking
00:02:16.716 --> 00:02:17.717
Eating and drinking and marrying and giving,
00:02:17.784 --> 00:02:19.152
And marrying and giving, it's just normal days.
00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:20.687
It's just normal days. until the day noah
00:02:20.753 --> 00:02:22.488
Until the day noah entered into the ark.
00:02:22.555 --> 00:02:23.890
Entered into the ark. until the flood came
00:02:23.957 --> 00:02:25.692
Until the flood came and took them away
00:02:25.758 --> 00:02:26.759
And took them away so will be the coming
00:02:26.826 --> 00:02:28.228
So will be the coming of the son of man.
00:02:28.294 --> 00:02:29.596
Of the son of man. two men will be lying
00:02:29.662 --> 00:02:30.496
Two men will be lying in the field,
00:02:30.563 --> 00:02:31.331
In the field, one will be taken,
00:02:31.397 --> 00:02:32.198
One will be taken, the other left.
00:02:32.265 --> 00:02:33.299
The other left. two women will be
00:02:33.366 --> 00:02:34.000
Two women will be working in the mill,
00:02:34.067 --> 00:02:35.101
Working in the mill, one will be taken,
00:02:35.168 --> 00:02:36.035
One will be taken, one would be left.
00:02:36.102 --> 00:02:37.237
One would be left. watch therefore,
00:02:37.303 --> 00:02:38.838
Watch therefore, for you do not know the hour
00:02:38.905 --> 00:02:41.274
For you do not know the hour your lord is coming.
00:02:41.341 --> 00:02:42.742
But know this,
00:02:42.842 --> 00:02:44.544
But know this, that if the master
00:02:44.611 --> 00:02:45.445
That if the master of the house had known
00:02:45.511 --> 00:02:46.679
Of the house had known the hour the thief would come,
00:02:46.746 --> 00:02:48.348
The hour the thief would come, he would have watched.
00:02:48.414 --> 00:02:50.183
He would have watched. he would have not allowed
00:02:50.250 --> 00:02:51.417
He would have not allowed his house to be broken into.
00:02:51.484 --> 00:02:53.253
Therefore, you also be ready
00:02:53.353 --> 00:02:57.890
Therefore, you also be ready for the son of man is coming,"
00:02:57.957 --> 00:02:59.859
For the son of man is coming," listen, "at an hour
00:02:59.926 --> 00:03:01.561
Listen, "at an hour you do not expect."
00:03:01.628 --> 00:03:05.431
You do not expect." so, i wanna preach just
00:03:05.498 --> 00:03:06.733
So, i wanna preach just a few moments about
00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:07.967
A few moments about what is taking place
00:03:08.034 --> 00:03:09.636
What is taking place in prophecy
00:03:09.702 --> 00:03:10.970
In prophecy and why it matters to us.
00:03:11.037 --> 00:03:13.640
And why it matters to us. jesus on the mount of olives
00:03:13.706 --> 00:03:15.575
Jesus on the mount of olives called his disciples together
00:03:15.642 --> 00:03:18.344
Called his disciples together and they were
00:03:18.411 --> 00:03:18.711
And they were sitting there talking
00:03:18.778 --> 00:03:19.779
Sitting there talking and they begin to ask him
00:03:19.846 --> 00:03:21.914
And they begin to ask him a series of questions.
00:03:21.981 --> 00:03:23.783
A series of questions. "what will be the signs
00:03:23.850 --> 00:03:25.018
"what will be the signs of your coming?
00:03:25.084 --> 00:03:25.918
Of your coming? how will we know
00:03:25.985 --> 00:03:27.520
How will we know that we are
00:03:27.587 --> 00:03:28.388
That we are in the end times?"
00:03:28.454 --> 00:03:30.556
In the end times?" and the end of the world
00:03:30.623 --> 00:03:31.858
And the end of the world is what they call it.
00:03:31.924 --> 00:03:32.925
Is what they call it. "how will we know
00:03:32.992 --> 00:03:33.960
"how will we know that everything like
00:03:34.027 --> 00:03:35.061
That everything like we know the world
00:03:35.128 --> 00:03:36.696
We know the world is about to change?"
00:03:36.763 --> 00:03:38.298
Is about to change?" and jesus himself
00:03:38.364 --> 00:03:40.433
And jesus himself began to tell them that,
00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:42.068
Began to tell them that, "there would be
00:03:42.135 --> 00:03:42.535
"there would be a generation of people
00:03:42.602 --> 00:03:44.504
A generation of people that would witness
00:03:44.570 --> 00:03:45.805
That would witness a rapid fulfilment
00:03:45.872 --> 00:03:47.807
A rapid fulfilment of prophecy.
00:03:47.874 --> 00:03:49.242
Of prophecy. all of them suddenly,
00:03:49.309 --> 00:03:51.444
All of them suddenly, one after another
00:03:51.511 --> 00:03:52.745
One after another would begin to take place."
00:03:52.812 --> 00:03:54.447
Would begin to take place." and he said,
00:03:54.514 --> 00:03:54.847
And he said, "that generation
00:03:54.914 --> 00:03:55.948
"that generation that witnesses these things
00:03:56.015 --> 00:03:58.017
That witnesses these things will be the generation.
00:03:58.084 --> 00:04:00.086
Will be the generation. i will not tell you the hour.
00:04:00.153 --> 00:04:02.422
I will not tell you the hour. i will not tell you the day,
00:04:02.488 --> 00:04:03.990
I will not tell you the day, but you can know the season
00:04:04.057 --> 00:04:05.558
But you can know the season when you see these signs
00:04:05.625 --> 00:04:07.393
When you see these signs begin to take place."
00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:09.095
Begin to take place." he said, "there will
00:04:09.162 --> 00:04:10.096
He said, "there will come false prophets
00:04:10.163 --> 00:04:11.864
Come false prophets and religious faith leaders."
00:04:11.931 --> 00:04:14.434
And religious faith leaders." and i used to think
00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:15.535
And i used to think that was just like the,
00:04:15.601 --> 00:04:16.769
That was just like the, you know, like the extreme,
00:04:16.836 --> 00:04:18.971
You know, like the extreme, or some crazy religions
00:04:19.038 --> 00:04:20.640
Or some crazy religions and far out things,
00:04:20.707 --> 00:04:22.041
And far out things, but i think too that
00:04:22.108 --> 00:04:23.343
But i think too that that includes false teachers
00:04:23.409 --> 00:04:25.378
That includes false teachers and preachers in the pulpits
00:04:25.445 --> 00:04:27.013
And preachers in the pulpits of churches
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:28.047
Of churches who are not preaching
00:04:28.114 --> 00:04:29.482
Who are not preaching the true gospel of jesus christ.
00:04:29.549 --> 00:04:32.352
And is so watered down
00:04:32.452 --> 00:04:33.920
And is so watered down that people are --
00:04:33.986 --> 00:04:35.588
That people are -- they're having itching ears
00:04:35.655 --> 00:04:37.390
They're having itching ears and they're telling them
00:04:37.457 --> 00:04:38.391
And they're telling them what they wanna hear
00:04:38.458 --> 00:04:39.459
What they wanna hear instead of preaching
00:04:39.525 --> 00:04:41.594
Instead of preaching about eternity
00:04:41.661 --> 00:04:42.995
About eternity and getting ready
00:04:43.062 --> 00:04:44.097
And getting ready for the lord to come.
00:04:44.163 --> 00:04:45.765
For the lord to come. it's so important.
00:04:45.832 --> 00:04:46.899
And then he said,
00:04:46.999 --> 00:04:47.734
And then he said, "there would be wars."
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:48.701
"there would be wars." and this is jesus said,
00:04:48.768 --> 00:04:50.036
And this is jesus said, "look, notice these things,
00:04:50.103 --> 00:04:51.304
"look, notice these things, wars and rumors of wars.
00:04:51.371 --> 00:04:53.072
Wars and rumors of wars. threats of wars."
00:04:53.139 --> 00:04:54.340
Threats of wars." and then he said,
00:04:54.407 --> 00:04:55.842
And then he said, "there would be
00:04:55.908 --> 00:04:56.743
"there would be severe racial tension."
00:04:56.809 --> 00:04:58.845
Severe racial tension." when he said, "nations
00:04:58.911 --> 00:05:00.012
When he said, "nations shall rise against nation."
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.881
Shall rise against nation." the word, "nation"
00:05:01.948 --> 00:05:02.648
The word, "nation" in greek is ethnos,
00:05:02.715 --> 00:05:04.517
In greek is ethnos, against ethnos.
00:05:04.584 --> 00:05:05.985
Against ethnos. in other words,
00:05:06.052 --> 00:05:06.652
In other words, ethnic tension
00:05:06.719 --> 00:05:08.087
Ethnic tension will get greater,
00:05:08.154 --> 00:05:08.888
Will get greater, and greater,
00:05:08.955 --> 00:05:09.622
And greater, and greater among
00:05:09.689 --> 00:05:10.823
And greater among the different groups
00:05:10.890 --> 00:05:14.227
The different groups of people.
00:05:14.293 --> 00:05:15.294
Of people. and you will see this happening
00:05:15.361 --> 00:05:16.996
And you will see this happening right before your eyes.
00:05:17.063 --> 00:05:18.231
Right before your eyes. and then he said,
00:05:18.297 --> 00:05:18.831
And then he said, "there would be
00:05:18.898 --> 00:05:19.332
"there would be an increase in famine,
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.033
An increase in famine, and earthquakes, and diseases,
00:05:21.100 --> 00:05:24.103
And earthquakes, and diseases, and natural disasters."
00:05:24.170 --> 00:05:25.605
And natural disasters." jesus predicted all of these,
00:05:25.671 --> 00:05:27.807
Jesus predicted all of these, and the skeptics say,
00:05:27.874 --> 00:05:28.841
And the skeptics say, "well, it's always
00:05:28.908 --> 00:05:29.275
"well, it's always been that way.
00:05:29.342 --> 00:05:29.742
Been that way. i've heard this all of my life.
00:05:29.809 --> 00:05:31.544
I've heard this all of my life. it's always been that way."
00:05:31.611 --> 00:05:32.812
It's always been that way." but jesus was saying that,
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.647
But jesus was saying that, "these are the --
00:05:34.714 --> 00:05:37.116
"these are the -- these signs will be
00:05:37.183 --> 00:05:38.084
These signs will be like birth pains."
00:05:38.151 --> 00:05:39.352
Like birth pains." it even says that,
00:05:39.419 --> 00:05:40.219
It even says that, the apostle paul
00:05:40.286 --> 00:05:41.254
The apostle paul talks about it in romans,
00:05:41.320 --> 00:05:42.889
Talks about it in romans, "and as the time gets closer,
00:05:42.955 --> 00:05:45.324
"and as the time gets closer, it's like a mother
00:05:45.391 --> 00:05:46.259
It's like a mother that's having a baby."
00:05:46.325 --> 00:05:47.827
That's having a baby." you know, she has little signs
00:05:47.894 --> 00:05:49.028
You know, she has little signs when she first starts,
00:05:49.095 --> 00:05:50.730
When she first starts, and just a little, "oh,
00:05:50.797 --> 00:05:51.964
And just a little, "oh, something feels uncomfortable."
00:05:52.031 --> 00:05:53.299
Something feels uncomfortable." and then there's
00:05:53.366 --> 00:05:53.966
And then there's a long period of time,
00:05:54.033 --> 00:05:55.067
A long period of time, and then a little bit
00:05:55.134 --> 00:05:56.002
And then a little bit more severe pain,
00:05:56.068 --> 00:05:57.303
More severe pain, and then there's --
00:05:57.370 --> 00:05:58.471
And then there's -- and then the time starts
00:05:58.538 --> 00:05:59.672
And then the time starts getting shorter,
00:05:59.739 --> 00:06:00.506
Getting shorter, and then it's pain,
00:06:00.573 --> 00:06:01.407
And then it's pain, after pain,
00:06:01.474 --> 00:06:01.874
After pain, after pain, after pain."
00:06:01.941 --> 00:06:03.509
After pain, after pain." he said, "that's exactly
00:06:03.576 --> 00:06:04.977
He said, "that's exactly how it'll be.
00:06:05.044 --> 00:06:06.078
How it'll be. the generation that will know
00:06:06.145 --> 00:06:07.814
The generation that will know that i'm coming back,
00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:09.248
That i'm coming back, it won't be one thing
00:06:09.315 --> 00:06:10.817
It won't be one thing and then a long period.
00:06:10.883 --> 00:06:12.485
And then a long period. it will be one thing
00:06:12.552 --> 00:06:13.386
It will be one thing after another."
00:06:13.453 --> 00:06:14.287
After another." it feels like since
00:06:14.353 --> 00:06:15.121
It feels like since the pandemic to me --
00:06:15.188 --> 00:06:16.889
The pandemic to me -- thing --
00:06:16.956 --> 00:06:17.457
Thing -- it's been one thing
00:06:17.523 --> 00:06:18.558
It's been one thing after another,
00:06:18.624 --> 00:06:19.559
After another, after another.
00:06:19.625 --> 00:06:20.626
After another. there's always been wars,
00:06:20.693 --> 00:06:22.829
There's always been wars, there's always been
00:06:22.895 --> 00:06:23.696
There's always been false prophets,
00:06:23.763 --> 00:06:24.730
False prophets, there's always
00:06:24.797 --> 00:06:25.465
There's always been earthquakes,
00:06:25.531 --> 00:06:26.599
Been earthquakes, there's always been famines,
00:06:26.666 --> 00:06:28.201
There's always been famines, there's always been diseases
00:06:28.267 --> 00:06:29.202
There's always been diseases and racial tensions,
00:06:29.268 --> 00:06:31.137
And racial tensions, there's always been
00:06:31.204 --> 00:06:32.238
There's always been these things, but he said,
00:06:32.305 --> 00:06:33.973
These things, but he said, "when you see these things
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.508
"when you see these things coming again, and again,
00:06:35.575 --> 00:06:37.009
Coming again, and again, and again, one after another,
00:06:37.076 --> 00:06:38.244
And again, one after another, after another.
00:06:38.311 --> 00:06:39.045
After another. they will be more frequent,
00:06:39.111 --> 00:06:40.413
They will be more frequent, they will be more intense,
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.981
They will be more intense, then it ought to get
00:06:42.048 --> 00:06:43.182
Then it ought to get your attention."
00:06:43.249 --> 00:06:44.217
Your attention." and then he said,
00:06:44.283 --> 00:06:45.751
And then he said, "because of inequity
00:06:45.818 --> 00:06:47.320
"because of inequity the love of many
00:06:47.386 --> 00:06:48.120
The love of many would wax cold."
00:06:48.187 --> 00:06:49.522
Would wax cold." but then he said in verse 37,
00:06:49.589 --> 00:06:51.591
But then he said in verse 37, "if you really wanna know
00:06:51.657 --> 00:06:52.358
"if you really wanna know what it's like," --
00:06:52.425 --> 00:06:52.859
What it's like," -- this is jesus preaching
00:06:52.925 --> 00:06:54.260
This is jesus preaching about signs of the times.
00:06:54.327 --> 00:06:56.329
About signs of the times. he said, "it would be
00:06:56.395 --> 00:06:57.597
He said, "it would be as the days of noah,
00:06:57.663 --> 00:06:59.065
As the days of noah, so shall be the coming
00:06:59.131 --> 00:07:00.066
So shall be the coming of the son of man."
00:07:00.132 --> 00:07:01.434
Of the son of man." he said, "on the day
00:07:01.501 --> 00:07:02.301
He said, "on the day that i return
00:07:02.368 --> 00:07:03.736
That i return it will be just like
00:07:03.803 --> 00:07:05.104
It will be just like any other ordinary day."
00:07:05.171 --> 00:07:07.640
He gives that description,
00:07:07.740 --> 00:07:09.075
He gives that description, "for as in the days of noah,
00:07:09.141 --> 00:07:10.743
"for as in the days of noah, that they were
00:07:10.810 --> 00:07:12.912
That they were before the flood
00:07:12.979 --> 00:07:13.980
Before the flood they were eating, drinking,
00:07:14.046 --> 00:07:15.181
They were eating, drinking, marrying, entering into marriage
00:07:15.248 --> 00:07:17.683
Marrying, entering into marriage until the day noah
00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:19.719
Until the day noah entered into the ark."
00:07:19.785 --> 00:07:21.020
Entered into the ark." it was just like
00:07:21.087 --> 00:07:22.154
It was just like another ordinary day.
00:07:22.221 --> 00:07:23.990
Another ordinary day. people were just going
00:07:24.056 --> 00:07:25.091
People were just going about their business,
00:07:25.157 --> 00:07:26.158
About their business, and he said,
00:07:26.225 --> 00:07:26.826
"that's exactly how
00:07:26.926 --> 00:07:28.361
"that's exactly how it's gonna be
00:07:28.427 --> 00:07:29.161
It's gonna be when i come back."
00:07:29.228 --> 00:07:30.129
When i come back." they didn't even realize it.
00:07:30.196 --> 00:07:31.597
They didn't even realize it. suddenly the flood came,
00:07:31.664 --> 00:07:34.033
Suddenly the flood came, and they were left behind.
00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:35.801
And they were left behind. and he said,
00:07:35.868 --> 00:07:36.469
And he said, "so shall it be
00:07:36.536 --> 00:07:37.603
"so shall it be at the coming
00:07:37.670 --> 00:07:38.538
At the coming of the son of man."
00:07:38.604 --> 00:07:40.273
Of the son of man." i'm not gonna
00:07:40.339 --> 00:07:40.773
I'm not gonna give you the day.
00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:41.407
Give you the day. i'm not gonna give you
00:07:41.474 --> 00:07:42.441
I'm not gonna give you the hour."
00:07:42.508 --> 00:07:43.309
The hour." but he said,
00:07:43.376 --> 00:07:44.110
But he said, "i'm gonna give you
00:07:44.176 --> 00:07:44.810
"i'm gonna give you important clues."
00:07:44.877 --> 00:07:45.711
Important clues." and then he said in matthew 24,
00:07:45.778 --> 00:07:48.481
And then he said in matthew 24, he told them the parable
00:07:48.548 --> 00:07:50.149
He told them the parable of the fig tree.
00:07:50.216 --> 00:07:51.584
Of the fig tree. what is the fig tree?
00:07:51.651 --> 00:07:53.286
What is the fig tree? the fig tree is israel.
00:07:53.352 --> 00:07:56.188
The fig tree is israel. the fig tree is when you see
00:07:56.255 --> 00:07:58.558
The fig tree is when you see the nation of israel
00:07:58.624 --> 00:08:00.560
The nation of israel come alive again
00:08:00.626 --> 00:08:02.061
Come alive again and begin to produce fruit.
00:08:02.128 --> 00:08:03.829
And begin to produce fruit. do you understand that
00:08:03.896 --> 00:08:05.097
Do you understand that after they were decimated,
00:08:05.164 --> 00:08:07.567
After they were decimated, and destroyed, and conquered,
00:08:07.633 --> 00:08:09.635
And destroyed, and conquered, for 1,900 years
00:08:09.702 --> 00:08:12.371
For 1,900 years the jewish people were
00:08:12.438 --> 00:08:13.539
The jewish people were scattered all over the planet?
00:08:13.606 --> 00:08:15.908
Scattered all over the planet? and then in the 1940s hitler
00:08:15.975 --> 00:08:17.643
And then in the 1940s hitler and the nazis came
00:08:17.710 --> 00:08:19.011
And the nazis came and they started killing them
00:08:19.078 --> 00:08:21.747
And they started killing them in every nation
00:08:21.814 --> 00:08:22.682
In every nation they could find them.
00:08:22.748 --> 00:08:23.749
They could find them. slaughtering over
00:08:23.816 --> 00:08:24.984
Slaughtering over 6 million jews.
00:08:25.051 --> 00:08:27.954
6 million jews. and it looked like
00:08:28.020 --> 00:08:28.788
And it looked like the nation of israel --
00:08:28.854 --> 00:08:29.722
The nation of israel -- now why?
00:08:29.789 --> 00:08:30.389
Now why? why were those people
00:08:30.456 --> 00:08:31.457
Why were those people so targeted?
00:08:31.524 --> 00:08:32.491
So targeted? because satan knew
00:08:32.558 --> 00:08:34.527
Because satan knew that that was the way
00:08:34.594 --> 00:08:36.262
That that was the way that the messiah
00:08:36.329 --> 00:08:37.630
That the messiah was gonna try to do his thing
00:08:37.697 --> 00:08:40.399
And so, they have been targeted.
00:08:40.499 --> 00:08:42.635
It has gone on forever.
00:08:42.702 --> 00:08:44.503
They were in slavery in egypt,
00:08:44.570 --> 00:08:46.672
And they were in slavery
00:08:46.739 --> 00:08:47.974
In babylon and on and on.
00:08:48.040 --> 00:08:49.575
But they're --
00:08:49.642 --> 00:08:50.209
They had never been back
00:08:50.276 --> 00:08:51.644
And had their own land.
00:08:51.744 --> 00:08:53.913
And had their own land. for 1,900 years.
00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:58.017
For 1,900 years. and af --
00:08:58.084 --> 00:08:59.418
And af -- during world war ii
00:08:59.485 --> 00:09:00.553
During world war ii after the war, the holocaust,
00:09:00.620 --> 00:09:04.457
After the war, the holocaust, united nations felt
00:09:04.523 --> 00:09:05.858
United nations felt so sorry for them,
00:09:05.925 --> 00:09:08.628
So sorry for them, that they voted.
00:09:08.694 --> 00:09:12.498
That they voted. it's astounding.
00:09:12.565 --> 00:09:13.366
It's astounding. i'm gonna tell
00:09:13.432 --> 00:09:13.833
I'm gonna tell that story one day.
00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:14.700
That story one day. i can't do it today.
00:09:14.767 --> 00:09:16.235
I can't do it today. but it's astounding
00:09:16.302 --> 00:09:17.670
But it's astounding how that happened.
00:09:17.737 --> 00:09:19.505
How that happened. and the --
00:09:19.572 --> 00:09:21.140
And the -- in one day a nation was born,
00:09:21.207 --> 00:09:23.743
In one day a nation was born, fulfilling the scripture
00:09:23.809 --> 00:09:26.112
Fulfilling the scripture in isaiah.
00:09:26.178 --> 00:09:27.513
In isaiah. i believe it's
00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:28.214
I believe it's the 68th chapter that said,
00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:30.449
"a nation will be born
00:09:30.549 --> 00:09:33.285
In a day.
00:09:33.352 --> 00:09:35.221
Born at once."
00:09:35.287 --> 00:09:37.456
And that happened in 1948.
00:09:37.523 --> 00:09:40.693
How many of you --
00:09:40.760 --> 00:09:41.761
Now here is my point,
00:09:41.827 --> 00:09:42.962
Here's why i'm preaching this,
00:09:43.029 --> 00:09:44.230
Here's why i'm saying this.
00:09:44.296 --> 00:09:46.565
This is huge.
00:09:46.666 --> 00:09:48.534
This is huge. a.d. 70 jerusalem is destroyed
00:09:48.601 --> 00:09:51.570
A.d. 70 jerusalem is destroyed and 1,900 years israel,
00:09:51.637 --> 00:09:54.507
And 1,900 years israel, the people never
00:09:54.573 --> 00:09:55.775
The people never come back to the land.
00:09:55.841 --> 00:09:57.843
Come back to the land. but in 1948 jesus said,
00:09:57.910 --> 00:10:02.081
But in 1948 jesus said, "there would be a generation
00:10:02.148 --> 00:10:05.117
"there would be a generation that would see the fig tree
00:10:05.184 --> 00:10:07.119
That would see the fig tree come alive and reproduce fruit."
00:10:07.186 --> 00:10:09.855
Come alive and reproduce fruit." now, i wanna ask you a question,
00:10:09.922 --> 00:10:11.490
Now, i wanna ask you a question, how many of you --
00:10:11.557 --> 00:10:12.925
How many of you -- how many of you
00:10:12.992 --> 00:10:14.393
How many of you were alive in 1948.
00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.430
Were alive in 1948. let me see your hands,
00:10:17.496 --> 00:10:18.030
Let me see your hands, raise it high.
00:10:18.097 --> 00:10:20.299
Raise it high. guess what?
00:10:20.366 --> 00:10:21.834
Guess what? that is the generation.
00:10:21.901 --> 00:10:24.003
That is the generation. they're thinning out.
00:10:24.070 --> 00:10:28.207
They're thinning out. but never in the history --
00:10:28.274 --> 00:10:30.276
But never in the history -- you talk about prophecy.
00:10:30.342 --> 00:10:31.911
You talk about prophecy. jesus said, "i tell you
00:10:31.977 --> 00:10:34.780
Jesus said, "i tell you that generation will not pass.
00:10:34.847 --> 00:10:39.085
That generation will not pass. whoever is alive
00:10:39.151 --> 00:10:40.786
Whoever is alive in that generation," --
00:10:40.853 --> 00:10:42.254
In that generation," -- and it happened
00:10:42.321 --> 00:10:43.222
And it happened at the united nations.
00:10:43.289 --> 00:10:45.224
At the united nations. in 1948 israel became a nation.
00:10:45.291 --> 00:10:50.730
In 1948 israel became a nation. when did all that happen?
00:10:50.796 --> 00:10:52.131
When did all that happen? in this generation that
00:10:52.198 --> 00:10:54.066
In this generation that we're still alive in.
00:10:54.133 --> 00:10:55.868
We're still alive in. in this generation.
00:10:55.935 --> 00:10:57.436
In this generation. do you know that the bible says
00:10:57.503 --> 00:10:58.571
Do you know that the bible says in the book of psalms
00:10:58.637 --> 00:10:59.505
In the book of psalms that a generation
00:10:59.572 --> 00:11:01.240
Is basically 70 years?
00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:05.377
Is basically 70 years? it says, "the days
00:11:05.444 --> 00:11:05.978
Of our lives," --
00:11:06.078 --> 00:11:06.479
And don't let this
00:11:06.545 --> 00:11:07.446
Depress you.
00:11:07.513 --> 00:11:09.849
But this is just how it is.
00:11:09.915 --> 00:11:11.884
This is what the bible said.
00:11:11.951 --> 00:11:13.419
Now, it -- there is a reason
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:14.754
Now, it -- there is a reason of strength which is
00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:16.222
Of strength which is a big deal.
00:11:16.288 --> 00:11:16.922
A big deal. amen.
00:11:16.989 --> 00:11:17.757
Amen. but he said,
00:11:17.823 --> 00:11:18.858
But he said, "the days of our lives
00:11:18.924 --> 00:11:19.892
"the days of our lives are 70 years."
00:11:19.959 --> 00:11:20.993
Are 70 years." this is a generation.
00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:22.328
This is a generation. "and if by reason of strength
00:11:22.394 --> 00:11:23.863
"and if by reason of strength you can have 80 years.
00:11:23.929 --> 00:11:26.165
You can have 80 years. but if you do keep getting old,"
00:11:26.232 --> 00:11:28.000
He's trying to say there.
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:30.636
"you soon still gon' be cut off
00:11:30.703 --> 00:11:32.171
And you gon' fly away."
00:11:32.238 --> 00:11:33.572
[laughter]
00:11:33.672 --> 00:11:35.941
[laughter] how can i say?
00:11:36.008 --> 00:11:36.876
How can i say? so, i'm one you kinda --
00:11:36.942 --> 00:11:38.778
I wasn't born in '48
00:11:38.878 --> 00:11:39.979
I wasn't born in '48 but i put 70 rocks in this.
00:11:40.045 --> 00:11:43.582
But i put 70 rocks in this. you know, really
00:11:43.649 --> 00:11:44.683
You know, really all your promise,
00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:46.519
All your promise, all your promise is se --
00:11:46.585 --> 00:11:48.420
All your promise is se -- i heard about a preacher
00:11:48.487 --> 00:11:49.488
I heard about a preacher who did this
00:11:49.555 --> 00:11:50.222
Who did this and read it in
00:11:50.289 --> 00:11:51.123
And read it in a book one time.
00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:51.824
A book one time. he said every year
00:11:51.891 --> 00:11:53.893
He said every year he took out a stone.
00:11:53.959 --> 00:11:55.895
He took out a stone. and you know, you start out
00:11:55.961 --> 00:11:56.629
And you know, you start out with 70 years.
00:11:56.695 --> 00:11:57.596
With 70 years. and for me, i'm 61 so i --
00:11:57.663 --> 00:12:02.868
And for me, i'm 61 so i -- these are already gone.
00:12:02.935 --> 00:12:04.703
These are already gone. i don't ha --
00:12:04.770 --> 00:12:05.838
I don't ha -- i don't have but --
00:12:05.905 --> 00:12:07.473
I don't have but -- excuse me.
00:12:07.540 --> 00:12:10.376
Excuse me. [stones rattling]
00:12:10.442 --> 00:12:15.047
[laughter]
00:12:22.655 --> 00:12:26.792
One, two, three, four,
00:12:28.194 --> 00:12:28.727
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
00:12:28.794 --> 00:12:30.763
Five, six, seven, eight, nine. and i'm giving myself some 80.
00:12:30.830 --> 00:12:32.798
And i'm giving myself some 80. [stones rattling]
00:12:32.865 --> 00:12:34.166
[stones rattling] [laughter]
00:12:34.233 --> 00:12:38.137
[applause]
00:12:38.237 --> 00:12:41.874
[applause] but it's amazing, isn't it?
00:12:41.941 --> 00:12:44.210
But it's amazing, isn't it? we think we gon' live forever.
00:12:44.276 --> 00:12:46.679
We think we gon' live forever. we don't like to talk
00:12:46.745 --> 00:12:47.446
We don't like to talk about eternity,
00:12:47.513 --> 00:12:48.113
About eternity, we don't want to talk
00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:48.914
We don't want to talk about death,
00:12:48.981 --> 00:12:49.481
About death, we don't wanna talk about it,
00:12:49.548 --> 00:12:50.749
We don't wanna talk about it, but the truth is
00:12:50.816 --> 00:12:51.984
Every year these --
00:12:52.084 --> 00:12:53.586
Every year these -- i got a lot more out there
00:12:53.652 --> 00:12:55.354
I got a lot more out there than i've got in here.
00:12:55.421 --> 00:12:57.723
Than i've got in here. and i that i --
00:12:57.790 --> 00:12:59.024
And i that i -- all that he said
00:12:59.091 --> 00:13:00.793
All that he said you really can count on
00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:02.294
You really can count on if you're --
00:13:02.361 --> 00:13:03.028
If you're -- if you're lucky,
00:13:03.095 --> 00:13:04.163
If you're lucky, we would say is 70 years,
00:13:04.230 --> 00:13:07.733
We would say is 70 years, and if by strength 80 or so.
00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:10.069
And if by strength 80 or so. and the rocks are
00:13:10.135 --> 00:13:11.437
And the rocks are getting fewer and fewer.
00:13:11.503 --> 00:13:13.005
Getting fewer and fewer. and what i'm trying
00:13:13.072 --> 00:13:13.939
And what i'm trying to preach to you,
00:13:14.006 --> 00:13:14.840
To preach to you, oh glory to god,
00:13:14.907 --> 00:13:16.775
Oh glory to god, that in 1948,
00:13:16.842 --> 00:13:19.211
That in 1948, that's 75 years ago this year.
00:13:19.278 --> 00:13:26.118
That's 75 years ago this year. and people are fading out
00:13:26.185 --> 00:13:27.920
And people are fading out and they're going home
00:13:27.987 --> 00:13:29.088
And they're going home to be with the lord.
00:13:29.154 --> 00:13:31.657
To be with the lord. but he said,
00:13:31.724 --> 00:13:32.391
But he said, "there would be some left
00:13:32.458 --> 00:13:34.126
"there would be some left from that generation."
00:13:34.193 --> 00:13:35.628
From that generation." i'm not preaching the hour.
00:13:35.694 --> 00:13:37.029
I'm not preaching the hour. i'm not preaching the day.
00:13:37.096 --> 00:13:38.230
I'm not preaching the day. i'm preaching jesus' sermon
00:13:38.297 --> 00:13:40.065
I'm preaching jesus' sermon on the signs of the times.
00:13:40.132 --> 00:13:41.500
On the signs of the times. how close are we?
00:13:41.567 --> 00:13:43.969
How close are we? how soon could jesus return?
00:13:44.036 --> 00:13:46.505
How soon could jesus return? i mean, in seven years
00:13:46.572 --> 00:13:48.874
I mean, in seven years we could be in the millennium
00:13:48.941 --> 00:13:50.743
We could be in the millennium if jesus came today.
00:13:50.809 --> 00:13:52.144
If jesus came today. [applause]
00:13:52.211 --> 00:13:53.946
[applause] this thing can happen
00:13:54.013 --> 00:13:55.214
This thing can happen at any moment and jesus said,
00:13:55.281 --> 00:13:57.316
At any moment and jesus said, "you better be ready.
00:13:57.383 --> 00:14:01.086
"you better be ready. what's gonna happen?
00:14:01.153 --> 00:14:02.054
What's gonna happen? what do we know for sure
00:14:02.121 --> 00:14:03.222
What do we know for sure about prophecy,
00:14:03.289 --> 00:14:06.025
About prophecy, the rapture?
00:14:06.091 --> 00:14:07.359
The rapture? where is that at?
00:14:07.426 --> 00:14:08.093
Where is that at? 1 thessalonians 4:16,
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:12.131
"the lord himself
00:14:12.231 --> 00:14:13.299
Will descend with a shout.
00:14:13.365 --> 00:14:16.535
He's gonna shout
00:14:16.602 --> 00:14:17.603
And then there's
00:14:17.670 --> 00:14:18.304
Gonna be a voice.
00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:19.571
The voice of archangel."
00:14:19.638 --> 00:14:22.074
It's michael the warrior.
00:14:22.141 --> 00:14:24.276
He'll assemble all the angels
00:14:24.376 --> 00:14:26.912
He'll assemble all the angels and they will stand
00:14:26.979 --> 00:14:27.880
And they will stand as guardians.
00:14:27.947 --> 00:14:28.914
As guardians. "jesus, at the rapture
00:14:28.981 --> 00:14:30.883
"jesus, at the rapture will not come back to earth.
00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:32.484
Will not come back to earth. he will stop in midair
00:14:32.551 --> 00:14:33.886
He will stop in midair in the clouds."
00:14:33.953 --> 00:14:37.222
The angels will
00:14:37.323 --> 00:14:38.290
Stand to protect
00:14:38.357 --> 00:14:39.591
And to escort us.
00:14:39.658 --> 00:14:41.961
Suddenly something
00:14:42.027 --> 00:14:42.728
Is gonna happen.
00:14:42.795 --> 00:14:43.696
The bible said,
00:14:43.762 --> 00:14:44.830
"the trump of god
00:14:44.897 --> 00:14:45.831
Will sound and the dead
00:14:45.898 --> 00:14:47.666
In christ shall rise first.
00:14:47.733 --> 00:14:50.436
And when jesus comes,
00:14:50.502 --> 00:14:51.770
He will bring the spirits
00:14:51.837 --> 00:14:52.972
Of those who have died."
00:14:53.038 --> 00:14:55.341
And the first reunion --
00:14:55.441 --> 00:14:56.508
And the first reunion -- it's three reunions
00:14:56.575 --> 00:14:57.710
It's three reunions that will take place.
00:14:57.776 --> 00:14:58.644
That will take place. the first reunion will be
00:14:58.711 --> 00:15:00.346
The first reunion will be the spirit of those
00:15:00.412 --> 00:15:01.947
The spirit of those who've died in christ.
00:15:02.014 --> 00:15:05.651
Who've died in christ. i could stand up here
00:15:05.718 --> 00:15:06.585
I could stand up here and i think --
00:15:06.652 --> 00:15:07.586
And i think -- i see flas --
00:15:07.653 --> 00:15:08.387
I see flas -- faces flashing
00:15:08.454 --> 00:15:09.288
Faces flashing through my mind.
00:15:09.355 --> 00:15:11.190
Through my mind. people i've preached
00:15:11.256 --> 00:15:12.191
People i've preached their funerals.
00:15:12.257 --> 00:15:13.959
Their funerals. but on that day,
00:15:14.026 --> 00:15:14.960
But on that day, that day that could happen
00:15:15.027 --> 00:15:16.395
That day that could happen before the sun sets today,
00:15:16.462 --> 00:15:19.131
Before the sun sets today, the spirit will reunite.
00:15:19.198 --> 00:15:22.434
The spirit will reunite. the body will come up
00:15:22.501 --> 00:15:23.569
The body will come up out of the grave, only,
00:15:23.635 --> 00:15:25.070
It will have a body
00:15:25.170 --> 00:15:25.938
Just like jesus,
00:15:26.005 --> 00:15:27.172
A resurrection body,
00:15:27.239 --> 00:15:28.674
Perfect body,
00:15:28.741 --> 00:15:29.842
And the body will
00:15:29.908 --> 00:15:31.143
Reunite with the spirit.
00:15:31.210 --> 00:15:34.079
Then there will be
00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:34.713
Then there will be a second reunion,
00:15:34.780 --> 00:15:36.982
A second reunion, the righteous dead
00:15:37.049 --> 00:15:40.019
The righteous dead that have been resurrected
00:15:40.085 --> 00:15:41.520
That have been resurrected in their bodies
00:15:41.587 --> 00:15:43.188
In their bodies will be called up together
00:15:43.255 --> 00:15:45.290
Will be called up together with the ones who had been
00:15:45.357 --> 00:15:46.692
With the ones who had been raptured who were living.
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.829
Raptured who were living. and suddenly the dead
00:15:50.896 --> 00:15:52.798
And suddenly the dead will be alive
00:15:52.865 --> 00:15:54.500
Will be alive and be reunited with
00:15:54.566 --> 00:15:55.901
And be reunited with the living in midair.
00:15:55.968 --> 00:15:57.536
Families will wrap themselves
00:15:57.636 --> 00:15:59.171
Around each other
00:15:59.238 --> 00:16:00.339
And praise god.
00:16:00.439 --> 00:16:01.673
And praise god. and then the final reunion.
00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:04.076
And then the final reunion. and so shall they
00:16:04.143 --> 00:16:05.110
And so shall they ever be with the lord,
00:16:05.177 --> 00:16:06.445
Ever be with the lord, we will see him
00:16:06.512 --> 00:16:07.679
We will see him in the clouds face to face
00:16:07.746 --> 00:16:10.015
In the clouds face to face and be reunited
00:16:10.082 --> 00:16:11.483
And be reunited with him forever.
00:16:11.550 --> 00:16:13.252
With him forever. [applause]
00:16:13.318 --> 00:16:17.156
What do we know for sure?
00:16:17.256 --> 00:16:19.024
What do we know for sure? that's not --
00:16:19.091 --> 00:16:19.925
That's not -- that's going to happen
00:16:19.992 --> 00:16:21.226
That's going to happen and by the way there's already
00:16:21.293 --> 00:16:22.628
And by the way there's already been four raptures.
00:16:22.694 --> 00:16:26.331
Been four raptures. enoch walked with god
00:16:26.398 --> 00:16:27.433
Enoch walked with god and was not --
00:16:27.499 --> 00:16:27.933
And was not -- god took him,
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:28.567
God took him, he got raptured.
00:16:28.634 --> 00:16:30.335
He got raptured. elijah never died,
00:16:30.402 --> 00:16:31.703
Elijah never died, that fiery chariot came
00:16:31.770 --> 00:16:33.372
That fiery chariot came and raptured him.
00:16:33.439 --> 00:16:35.474
And raptured him. jesus in acts 1 went up
00:16:35.541 --> 00:16:37.576
Jesus in acts 1 went up on a cloudy elevator
00:16:37.643 --> 00:16:39.378
On a cloudy elevator and was raptured into heaven
00:16:39.445 --> 00:16:40.946
And was raptured into heaven the apostle paul said,
00:16:41.013 --> 00:16:42.014
The apostle paul said, "i was caught up into
00:16:42.081 --> 00:16:43.182
"i was caught up into the third heaven
00:16:43.248 --> 00:16:44.349
The third heaven and i didn't want
00:16:44.416 --> 00:16:45.117
And i didn't want to come back.
00:16:45.184 --> 00:16:46.151
To come back. they made me come back."
00:16:46.218 --> 00:16:48.020
When he comes
00:16:50.122 --> 00:16:50.522
When he comes out of matthew 24,
00:16:50.589 --> 00:16:52.357
Out of matthew 24, he goes immediately
00:16:52.424 --> 00:16:53.292
He goes immediately into matthew 25,
00:16:53.358 --> 00:16:54.593
Into matthew 25, what is matthew 25?
00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:55.928
What is matthew 25? the story of the ten virgins.
00:16:55.994 --> 00:16:57.863
The story of the ten virgins. the parable.
00:16:57.930 --> 00:16:59.565
The parable. and jesus taught it,
00:16:59.631 --> 00:17:00.599
And jesus taught it, he said, "if you wanna know
00:17:00.666 --> 00:17:01.567
He said, "if you wanna know what my coming is gon' be like,
00:17:01.633 --> 00:17:03.068
What my coming is gon' be like, when the bridegroom comes,
00:17:03.135 --> 00:17:05.838
When the bridegroom comes, all of them knew
00:17:05.904 --> 00:17:06.905
All of them knew he was coming,
00:17:06.972 --> 00:17:09.308
He was coming, but only 50% of them
00:17:09.374 --> 00:17:11.343
But only 50% of them had oil in their lamps.
00:17:11.410 --> 00:17:12.911
Had oil in their lamps. the other 50%
00:17:12.978 --> 00:17:14.179
The other 50% were not ready
00:17:14.246 --> 00:17:15.214
Were not ready for the coming
00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:16.782
For the coming of the bridegroom."
00:17:16.849 --> 00:17:17.649
Of the bridegroom." and he said, "at midnight,
00:17:17.716 --> 00:17:19.084
And he said, "at midnight, in an hour that
00:17:19.151 --> 00:17:20.018
In an hour that you think not," --
00:17:20.085 --> 00:17:22.554
You think not," -- i'm telling you that
00:17:22.621 --> 00:17:24.289
I'm telling you that what i'm preaching to you,
00:17:24.356 --> 00:17:26.158
What i'm preaching to you, we are seeing fulfilment
00:17:26.225 --> 00:17:28.160
We are seeing fulfilment of prophecy that is astounding.
00:17:28.227 --> 00:17:30.462
Of prophecy that is astounding. and back in the 70s
00:17:30.529 --> 00:17:31.964
And back in the 70s when i sat
00:17:32.030 --> 00:17:32.831
When i sat and heard preachers
00:17:32.898 --> 00:17:33.899
And heard preachers they used to preach
00:17:33.966 --> 00:17:34.766
They used to preach about this stuff,
00:17:34.833 --> 00:17:35.934
About this stuff, and we live
00:17:36.001 --> 00:17:36.869
And we live with an expectancy.
00:17:36.935 --> 00:17:38.070
With an expectancy. but now nobody really is
00:17:38.137 --> 00:17:40.472
But now nobody really is looking for jesus to come.
00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:41.940
Looking for jesus to come. for most of you this sermon
00:17:42.007 --> 00:17:43.742
For most of you this sermon won't get past the parking lot.
00:17:43.809 --> 00:17:47.613
Won't get past the parking lot. we really don't believe
00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:49.481
We really don't believe he's coming back
00:17:49.548 --> 00:17:50.649
He's coming back but you must understand
00:17:50.716 --> 00:17:52.417
But you must understand there's more prophecies
00:17:52.484 --> 00:17:53.886
There's more prophecies about his second coming.
00:17:53.952 --> 00:17:56.155
About his second coming. the first coming was
00:17:56.221 --> 00:17:57.156
The first coming was in bethlehem,
00:17:57.222 --> 00:17:58.423
In bethlehem, "o little town of bethlehem."
00:17:58.490 --> 00:18:00.159
"o little town of bethlehem." but the second coming
00:18:00.225 --> 00:18:01.660
But the second coming is gonna happen,
00:18:01.727 --> 00:18:02.961
Is gonna happen, and he's gonna --
00:18:03.028 --> 00:18:03.896
And he's gonna -- the rapture is not
00:18:03.962 --> 00:18:05.297
The rapture is not the second coming.
00:18:05.364 --> 00:18:06.198
The second coming. the rapture is the rapture.
00:18:06.265 --> 00:18:07.866
The rapture is the rapture. the catching away of the church.
00:18:07.933 --> 00:18:10.102
The catching away of the church. immediately when
00:18:10.169 --> 00:18:10.936
Immediately when that happens,
00:18:11.003 --> 00:18:11.403
That happens, we go into
00:18:11.470 --> 00:18:12.104
We go into the great tribulation,
00:18:12.171 --> 00:18:13.505
The great tribulation, we don't, you do.
00:18:13.572 --> 00:18:16.175
We don't, you do. i'll be in heaven
00:18:16.241 --> 00:18:17.075
I'll be in heaven at a rewards banquet called,
00:18:17.142 --> 00:18:19.578
At a rewards banquet called, "the marriage supper
00:18:19.645 --> 00:18:20.412
"the marriage supper of the lamb."
00:18:20.479 --> 00:18:21.313
[applause]
00:18:21.413 --> 00:18:24.483
[applause] and the world
00:18:24.550 --> 00:18:25.150
And the world will go in chaos.
00:18:25.217 --> 00:18:26.385
Will go in chaos. america will go in chaos.
00:18:26.451 --> 00:18:28.320
America will go in chaos. you gon' get what you wanted,
00:18:28.387 --> 00:18:29.721
You gon' get what you wanted, there will be no churches
00:18:29.788 --> 00:18:31.023
There will be no churches and no pastors
00:18:31.089 --> 00:18:31.690
And no pastors preaching the truth,
00:18:31.757 --> 00:18:32.758
Preaching the truth, they'll all be gone.
00:18:32.824 --> 00:18:34.993
They'll all be gone. and some of you gon' be
00:18:35.060 --> 00:18:35.761
And some of you gon' be calling my cellphone.
00:18:35.827 --> 00:18:37.262
Calling my cellphone. i'm not gonna answer.
00:18:37.329 --> 00:18:38.597
I'm not gonna answer. [laughter]
00:18:38.664 --> 00:18:41.867
But imagine with me,
00:18:45.771 --> 00:18:47.773
But imagine with me, that's when the antichrist
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:48.707
That's when the antichrist will step out.
00:18:48.774 --> 00:18:50.609
Will step out. that's when he will
00:18:50.676 --> 00:18:51.476
That's when he will create one currency,
00:18:51.543 --> 00:18:53.278
Create one currency, we already see it happening.
00:18:53.345 --> 00:18:54.880
We already see it happening. one government
00:18:54.947 --> 00:18:57.216
One government and one faith.
00:18:57.282 --> 00:18:58.350
And one faith. i believe it will be
00:18:58.417 --> 00:18:59.284
I believe it will be the muslim faith
00:18:59.351 --> 00:19:01.320
The muslim faith that will be enforced
00:19:01.386 --> 00:19:02.421
That will be enforced on the world
00:19:02.487 --> 00:19:03.622
On the world just like what you're seeing.
00:19:03.689 --> 00:19:04.556
Just like what you're seeing. and if you're a christian
00:19:04.623 --> 00:19:05.424
And if you're a christian or if you're a jew,
00:19:05.490 --> 00:19:06.391
Or if you're a jew, you will be slaughtered
00:19:06.458 --> 00:19:07.359
You will be slaughtered or you will convert.
00:19:07.426 --> 00:19:09.761
Or you will convert. and if you don't
00:19:09.828 --> 00:19:10.295
And if you don't take the mark of the beast,
00:19:10.362 --> 00:19:11.663
Take the mark of the beast, it could be a chip,
00:19:11.730 --> 00:19:13.065
It could be a chip, it will be some form
00:19:13.131 --> 00:19:14.032
It will be some form of technology that
00:19:14.099 --> 00:19:16.535
Of technology that never even existed
00:19:16.602 --> 00:19:17.936
Never even existed when i heard preachers
00:19:18.003 --> 00:19:19.238
When i heard preachers preach about this stuff.
00:19:19.304 --> 00:19:21.573
Preach about this stuff. and here we are
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.441
And here we are and we're seeing it
00:19:22.507 --> 00:19:23.208
And we're seeing it and it's happening rapid,
00:19:23.275 --> 00:19:24.343
And it's happening rapid, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:19:24.409 --> 00:19:25.444
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. and yet jesus said,
00:19:25.510 --> 00:19:27.713
And yet jesus said, "don't worry.
00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.513
"don't worry. i'm not coming back
00:19:28.580 --> 00:19:29.181
I'm not coming back when they're looking for it.
00:19:29.248 --> 00:19:30.249
When they're looking for it. i'm gonna --
00:19:30.315 --> 00:19:31.216
I'm gonna -- there's gonna be
00:19:31.283 --> 00:19:32.084
There's gonna be a generation that will see
00:19:32.150 --> 00:19:33.885
A generation that will see the tree come
00:19:33.952 --> 00:19:34.753
The tree come back to life, israel.
00:19:34.820 --> 00:19:36.288
Back to life, israel. and they won't even
00:19:36.355 --> 00:19:37.389
And they won't even be awake then.
00:19:37.456 --> 00:19:38.490
Be awake then. they will know i'm coming
00:19:38.557 --> 00:19:40.826
They will know i'm coming but they will be asleep.
00:19:40.892 --> 00:19:41.994
But they will be asleep. and the bridegroom
00:19:42.060 --> 00:19:43.395
And the bridegroom cries out at midnight.
00:19:43.462 --> 00:19:47.332
Cries out at midnight. and the bible said,
00:19:47.399 --> 00:19:48.233
And the bible said, "five were not ready
00:19:48.300 --> 00:19:52.304
"five were not ready and five were ready."
00:19:52.371 --> 00:19:54.273
And five were ready." listen to me.
00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:55.474
Listen to me. the only reason
00:19:55.540 --> 00:19:57.142
The only reason jesus told that parable
00:19:57.209 --> 00:20:01.480
Jesus told that parable was because he wanted us
00:20:01.546 --> 00:20:03.181
Was because he wanted us to know it is possible
00:20:03.248 --> 00:20:05.384
To know it is possible to think that you are ready
00:20:05.450 --> 00:20:07.653
To think that you are ready for the rapture
00:20:07.719 --> 00:20:11.490
For the rapture and not really be ready.
00:20:11.556 --> 00:20:17.095
And not really be ready. [applause]
00:20:17.162 --> 00:20:18.163
[applause] there is no other reason
00:20:18.230 --> 00:20:19.064
There is no other reason that parable is in there.
00:20:19.131 --> 00:20:20.999
That parable is in there. he's warning us,
00:20:21.066 --> 00:20:22.801
He's warning us, "you must be ready."
00:20:22.868 --> 00:20:26.271
"you must be ready." and as pastor of this church,
00:20:26.338 --> 00:20:29.174
And as pastor of this church, i feel compelled
00:20:29.241 --> 00:20:32.477
I feel compelled to cry out,
00:20:32.544 --> 00:20:34.713
To cry out, "jesus is coming."
00:20:34.780 --> 00:20:36.982
Nobody can fix the world.
00:20:39.885 --> 00:20:41.720
Nobody can fix the world. i'm not a negative preacher.
00:20:41.787 --> 00:20:43.255
I'm not a negative preacher. i'm gonna occupy and live,
00:20:43.322 --> 00:20:44.823
I'm gonna occupy and live, and we're gonna be
00:20:44.890 --> 00:20:45.390
And we're gonna be salt and light,
00:20:45.457 --> 00:20:46.892
Salt and light, and we're gonna enjoy
00:20:46.958 --> 00:20:47.826
And we're gonna enjoy our lives and our families.
00:20:47.893 --> 00:20:49.494
Our lives and our families. you ought to go to college,
00:20:49.561 --> 00:20:51.096

On the forefront of your heart, "he's coming again.
00:20:58.704 --> 00:21:00.238
"he's coming again. he's coming again."
00:21:00.305 --> 00:21:01.473
He's coming again." and we must be ready above all,
00:21:01.540 --> 00:21:03.508
And we must be ready above all, above everything
00:21:03.575 --> 00:21:05.310
Above everything we must be ready."

Are you ready for the soon return of jesus christ?
00:21:10.582 --> 00:21:13.251
Return of jesus christ? the rapture.
00:21:13.318 --> 00:21:16.154
The rapture. halfway through
00:21:16.221 --> 00:21:16.822
Halfway through that tribulation
00:21:16.888 --> 00:21:18.090
That tribulation he's coming back on

The dark forces of hamas.
00:25:04.916 --> 00:25:06.585
It was the worst massacre
00:25:06.685 --> 00:25:07.686
The jewish people experienced
00:25:07.786 --> 00:25:09.187

Bomb shelters, and other
00:25:22.901 --> 00:25:24.202
Life-saving projects.
00:25:24.302 --> 00:25:25.837

That will be completed
