00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.960
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.010
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:11.250
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.850
and your mind: where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:16.800
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.100
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.510
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:26.100
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.160
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:36.030
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.590
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:42.750
I've been waiting for you
14
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:45.900
and we're about to get
started again on the brand new
15
00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:49.590
series, which is called The
Rapture, the Antichrist,
16
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:51.420
and the Tribulation.
17
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:52.440
Why in the world is there
18
00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:55.560
so much confusion on this
subject when the Bible
19
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.330
is so clear?
20
00:00:57.330 --> 00:01:01.440
And this 20-part series comes
with a wonderful study guide
21
00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:03.840
that has all the points, the
principles, the Greek words.
22
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.390
Everything in this series
is in the study guide
23
00:01:06.390 --> 00:01:09.060
so you can read the material while you're seeing
24
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.120
or hearing the series - that
really causes the teaching
25
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:13.830
to get down deep inside you.
26
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:16.020
And we're offering you now my book,
27
00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:17.970
which is called The Rapture, the Antichrist,
28
00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:20.880
the Tribulation, and End-Times Countdown
29
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:25.140
and What Happens Next. On the cover of the book,
30
00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:27.240
it shows the angel blowing the trumpet,
31
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:29.340
the church being raptured, the antichrist
32
00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:30.540
suddenly appearing.
33
00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:32.250
And of course the foreword is written
34
00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:33.930
by my dear friend Jimmy Evans,
35
00:01:33.930 --> 00:01:37.050
who is such a professional
when it comes to the subject
36
00:01:37.050 --> 00:01:38.250
of End-Times.
37
00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:41.130
But order this book, you will devour it.
38
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:44.490
And by the way, it's fully illustrated,
39
00:01:44.490 --> 00:01:46.710
but you can order all these
things by going online
40
00:01:46.710 --> 00:01:50.820
or by giving us a call and please when you reach out to us,
41
00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:53.010
and in fact whether you
call to order anything
42
00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:55.440
or not, if you've got any need on your
43
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:56.700
heart, reach out to us.
44
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:58.170
We want to pray for you.
45
00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:00.060
We are people of prayer
46
00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:02.850
and we believe that a major
part of our ministry is
47
00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:04.170
to receive your phone call
48
00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:06.690
or your email and to pray for you.
49
00:02:06.690 --> 00:02:11.130
And how I wish you could see
the testimonies of people
50
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:13.170
that have reached back to us
51
00:02:13.170 --> 00:02:15.780
to tell us God answered our prayers.
52
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:17.880
The testimonies are amazing
53
00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:20.280
and I believe there's a testimony
54
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.950
with your name on it waiting for you.
55
00:02:22.950 --> 00:02:25.530
So whatever's on your
heart, I know you can pray
56
00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:28.500
by yourself, but there is agreement
57
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.230
and power when we agree
together in prayer.
58
00:02:31.230 --> 00:02:33.450
So reach out to us, we'll pray with you,
59
00:02:33.450 --> 00:02:38.310
and Jesus will do exactly
what needs to be done.
60
00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:40.710
But in the last programs we looked at the
61
00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:41.760
rapture of the church.
62
00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:44.340
First of all, we saw that
the word rapture really
63
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:45.720
is biblical.
64
00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.300
Then we saw who's gonna go in the rapture.
65
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:49.380
That's very important.
66
00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:52.230
If you missed that program,
please go back to the archives
67
00:02:52.230 --> 00:02:53.520
or order the series
68
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.520
because you need to know
who's gonna go in the rapture.
69
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.140
Then we saw the dead in
Christ are going to be raised.
70
00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:01.810
Then we saw exactly what's
gonna happen in the rapture
71
00:03:01.810 --> 00:03:03.400
of the church according to
72
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.400
what Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 4.
73
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.640
Now today we're gonna move to 1 Corinthians 15.
74
00:03:09.640 --> 00:03:11.260
But first I want to read again
75
00:03:11.260 --> 00:03:14.680
what Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 4,
76
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:18.460
and I want to begin in
verse 14 where Paul says -
77
00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:20.350
For if we believe that Jesus died
78
00:03:20.350 --> 00:03:24.970
and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus -
79
00:03:24.970 --> 00:03:27.730
that's talking about those
that have died in faith -
80
00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:30.250
will God bring with him.
81
00:03:30.250 --> 00:03:32.140
Now, we saw in the last episode that
82
00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:36.490
to be absent from the body is
to be present with the Lord.
83
00:03:36.490 --> 00:03:38.770
And when a Christian dies in faith,
84
00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:41.500
immediately he's absent from his body.
85
00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:44.080
That word absent means he
makes an exit from his natural
86
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.020
home and he becomes present with the Lord,
87
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:48.910
which means immediately he's at home
88
00:03:48.910 --> 00:03:50.800
with the Lord in heaven,
89
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.680
but his body remains in the earth. In heaven
90
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.600
he has a spiritual form.
91
00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:58.000
We know in heaven people know
each other even though their
92
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.280
bodies are still laying in the grave.
93
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.510
But when Jesus comes, this
verse says, Jesus will bring
94
00:04:04.510 --> 00:04:07.780
with him everyone who has died in faith
95
00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:09.940
and their bodies are gonna be resurrected
96
00:04:09.940 --> 00:04:11.800
and they're gonna be
reconnected with their bodies
97
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.270
but are resurrected form.
98
00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:15.100
But let's continue - For this
99
00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:17.075
we say unto you by the word of the Lord
100
00:04:17.075 --> 00:04:18.374
that we which are alive
101
00:04:18.374 --> 00:04:20.050
and remain under the coming
102
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:24.580
of the Lord shall not precede
them which are asleep.
103
00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:28.150
Verse 16: For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
104
00:04:28.150 --> 00:04:31.600
with a shout, with a voice of the archangel
105
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.760
and with a trump of God
106
00:04:33.760 --> 00:04:36.640
and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
107
00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:37.960
As a matter of priority
108
00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:40.450
they're gonna be raised first - Then -
109
00:04:40.450 --> 00:04:41.800
And the Greek word means then at
110
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.850
that very exact synchronized moment, then we which are alive
111
00:04:45.850 --> 00:04:48.550
and remain shall be caught up.
112
00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:52.360
That word caught up the Greek word harpadzo is translated in
113
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.960
the Latin Vulgate version as the word rapture.
114
00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:57.490
That's where the word rapture comes from.
115
00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:01.030
But it really is derived from this Greek word. harpadzo,
116
00:05:01.030 --> 00:05:02.530
which here is translated caught up,
117
00:05:02.530 --> 00:05:04.390
but it describes the
rapture of the church.
118
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:08.230
We shall be caught up
together with them that is
119
00:05:08.230 --> 00:05:11.410
with the dead, that were
just raised in the clouds
120
00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:13.270
to meet the Lord in the air
121
00:05:13.270 --> 00:05:16.000
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
122
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.850
In verse 18 says - Wherefore comfort one another
123
00:05:18.850 --> 00:05:22.420
with these words, which means
this should be a comfort
124
00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:25.150
to you and not a terror to you.
125
00:05:25.150 --> 00:05:26.320
It's a wonderful thing
126
00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:29.050
that we're gonna meet the Lord in the air.
127
00:05:29.050 --> 00:05:32.260
We just have to be sure that
we're ready for that moment.
128
00:05:32.260 --> 00:05:36.490
But now I want you to open your Bible to 1 Corinthians 15
129
00:05:36.490 --> 00:05:40.990
to the next major text where Paul describes the resurrection
130
00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:42.910
of the dead and the rapture of the church.
131
00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:46.600
So go to 1 Corinthians 15:51,
132
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.170
where Paul begins by saying - Behold,
133
00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:53.050
I show you a mystery.
134
00:05:53.050 --> 00:05:55.930
The word behold, in Greek is the word idou.
135
00:05:55.930 --> 00:06:00.930
It carries a sense of amazement, bewilderment, shock,
136
00:06:01.130 --> 00:06:02.750
wonder.
137
00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:04.640
And here Paul is getting ready
138
00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:06.530
to describe the resurrection of the dead
139
00:06:06.530 --> 00:06:07.760
and the rapture of the church.
140
00:06:07.760 --> 00:06:09.710
He is so amazed by it
141
00:06:09.710 --> 00:06:12.650
that he injects into the
verse his own sentiment.
142
00:06:12.650 --> 00:06:17.650
This word behold means, wow, wow. listen to this.
143
00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:20.480
This is absolutely amazing.
144
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.370
Get ready to hear what I'm about to say
145
00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:24.380
because this is gonna blow you away:
146
00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:27.560
behold, behold.
147
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.380
And we see this word idou, translated behold used all
148
00:06:30.380 --> 00:06:31.760
over the New Testament.
149
00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:34.130
For example, when Jesus said, behold,
150
00:06:34.130 --> 00:06:35.780
I give you authority over serpents
151
00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:37.880
and scorpions, it's the same word.
152
00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:41.840
Jesus was so excited. He
said, wow, listen to this.
153
00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:45.440
I'm gonna give you authority
over serpents and scorpions.
154
00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:48.590
When Jesus said in Matthew 28, behold, I'll be
155
00:06:48.590 --> 00:06:50.960
with you always to the end of the age,
156
00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:52.940
that word behold, can be translated -
157
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:57.020
Wow, this is so wonderful. Listen to this good news.
158
00:06:57.020 --> 00:07:00.080
I'll be with you always,
even to the end of the age,
159
00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:03.710
it always carries a sense of amazement, bewilderment,
160
00:07:03.710 --> 00:07:05.330
shock, wonder,
161
00:07:05.330 --> 00:07:08.390
and now by using this word, behold, the Greek word, idou,
162
00:07:08.390 --> 00:07:11.720
as Paul is getting ready to describe the resurrection
163
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.460
of the dead and the rapture of the church,
164
00:07:13.460 --> 00:07:15.295
he injects the little word
165
00:07:15.295 --> 00:07:17.660
idou: it means, wow, wow, wow.
166
00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:21.440
Hold on and listen to
what I'm about to tell you
167
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:24.830
because this is gonna
completely blow you away.
168
00:07:24.830 --> 00:07:29.240
And then he says, I show you a mystery.
169
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.510
The word mystery in Greek is the word, musterion.
170
00:07:32.510 --> 00:07:34.670
It denotes a hidden thing.
171
00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:36.740
It can be translated as the word mystery
172
00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:40.550
or a secret that is not naturally knowable
173
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:45.405
and that can only be known
by divine revelation.
174
00:07:45.405 --> 00:07:48.380
Well, when you study the
pages of the New Testament,
175
00:07:48.380 --> 00:07:52.310
the New Testament tells us 9 mysteries have been
176
00:07:52.310 --> 00:07:53.570
made known to us.
177
00:07:53.570 --> 00:07:54.980
Now, I cover all 9
178
00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:57.530
of these mysteries in this wonderful book
179
00:07:57.530 --> 00:07:58.610
that I want you to order.
180
00:07:58.610 --> 00:08:01.490
All the mysteries are here in this book.
181
00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:05.480
But now Paul's talking about the mystery of the resurrection
182
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.060
of the dead and the rapture of the church.
183
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:10.490
And Paul, by using this
word mystery, lets us know
184
00:08:10.490 --> 00:08:12.980
that previous generations
did not know about this.
185
00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:17.450
This was newly revealed,
it was divinely revealed.
186
00:08:17.450 --> 00:08:21.380
And he says, here's the mystery, verse 51,
187
00:08:21.380 --> 00:08:25.040
we shall not all sleep.
188
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.580
And the word sleep describes
the sleep of death.
189
00:08:28.580 --> 00:08:30.770
It is exactly the same word
190
00:08:30.770 --> 00:08:34.910
which we find in 1 Thessalonians 4:15,
191
00:08:34.910 --> 00:08:38.030
where Paul describes the dead
in Christ which are asleep.
192
00:08:38.030 --> 00:08:39.913
And I want you to understand,
193
00:08:39.913 --> 00:08:41.963
it is no more difficult for God
194
00:08:41.963 --> 00:08:43.790
to raise the dead than it is for you
195
00:08:43.790 --> 00:08:45.800
to wake up somebody in the room next door.
196
00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:50.180
He dis rouses our dead bodies and bam - we wake up.
197
00:08:50.180 --> 00:08:52.640
That's what's going to happen in the resurrection.
198
00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:57.640
But in this verse in 1 Corinthians, Paul states explicitly
199
00:08:57.750 --> 00:09:00.810
that not everybody is going to die.
200
00:09:00.810 --> 00:09:04.470
Not everyone is going
to fall asleep in Jesus.
201
00:09:04.470 --> 00:09:08.280
He says, there's actually one generation
202
00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:11.550
of authentic believers that will escape deaf:
203
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:16.620
could be our generation. As we well know by now,
204
00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:18.060
when Jesus comes,
205
00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:20.610
we know this from 1 Thessalonians 4:
206
00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:23.070
15-17.
207
00:09:23.070 --> 00:09:27.210
When Jesus comes, those that
are asleep in Jesus, those
208
00:09:27.210 --> 00:09:30.990
that have died, their bodies
are gonna be resurrected.
209
00:09:30.990 --> 00:09:32.220
Their dead bodies are gonna be
210
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:33.630
reconnected with their spirits.
211
00:09:33.630 --> 00:09:36.240
When they come with Jesus,
then we which are alive
212
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.490
and remain under the coming of the Lord,
213
00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:41.280
in that very moment, we're never gonna taste death.
214
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:44.580
We're gonna be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
215
00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:48.360
There really is one group
of authentic believers
216
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.090
who will never taste death.
217
00:09:51.090 --> 00:09:53.160
That's what this verse means.
218
00:09:53.160 --> 00:09:56.730
Now, some people say - Oh, come on, this is a fantasy.
219
00:09:56.730 --> 00:09:58.890
You mean there's gonna
be a generation of people
220
00:09:58.890 --> 00:10:00.810
that will not taste death.
221
00:10:00.810 --> 00:10:02.940
Well, I don't know why
you wouldn't believe this.
222
00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.830
If you look at the Bible,
there had been multiple
223
00:10:04.830 --> 00:10:06.180
raptures in scripture.
224
00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:08.940
Enoch was raptured. He never tasted death.
225
00:10:08.940 --> 00:10:11.730
Elijah was raptured.
He never tasted death.
226
00:10:11.730 --> 00:10:13.860
This is not a brand new concept.
227
00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:16.440
This has happened in times past.
228
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.040
And if God can rapture one,
why can't he rapture everybody
229
00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:21.840
that's alive in this particular moment?
230
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.680
And that is what Paul says
is going to take place.
231
00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:30.240
And these raptured saints
will be the remaining remnant
232
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.660
of spiritually alive believers
who've endured everything
233
00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:35.910
and who will be alive at the time
234
00:10:35.910 --> 00:10:37.500
of the rapture of the church.
235
00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:38.790
And they'll be suddenly
236
00:10:38.790 --> 00:10:42.540
and supernaturally snatched
out of danger just in the nick
237
00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:46.020
of time transported into
the clouds to meet the Lord
238
00:10:46.020 --> 00:10:49.260
with those that have
just been resurrected.
239
00:10:49.260 --> 00:10:53.820
And Paul then adds in verse
51: we shall not all sleep,
240
00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:57.180
but we shall all be
241
00:10:57.180 --> 00:10:59.370
changed, changed.
242
00:11:00.330 --> 00:11:03.180
The word all refers to those
that have died in faith
243
00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:04.470
and those that are still living.
244
00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:07.740
And this verse says, we're
gonna all be changed.
245
00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:08.790
The dead are gonna be changed.
246
00:11:08.790 --> 00:11:11.730
We know that they're gonna be
supernaturally raised from the
247
00:11:11.730 --> 00:11:13.320
dead, but we which are alive
248
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.630
and remain, we also are gonna be changed.
249
00:11:15.630 --> 00:11:18.450
We're not gonna be
transported into the presence
250
00:11:18.450 --> 00:11:21.540
of the Lord in our bodies
as they currently are.
251
00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:25.440
In fact, this word change
means to alter, to change,
252
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.180
to exchange one thing for another
253
00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:29.850
or to completely transform.
254
00:11:29.850 --> 00:11:33.120
And it means at that
moment, both the dead bodies
255
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.190
of the righteous and the living bodies
256
00:11:35.190 --> 00:11:39.870
of vibrant believers will
miraculously be altered,
257
00:11:39.870 --> 00:11:41.760
changed, exchanged,
258
00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:46.760
and transformed into new types of bodies.
259
00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:51.180
It will be instantaneous,
it will be miraculous,
260
00:11:51.180 --> 00:11:54.910
and it will be a
supernatural transformation.
261
00:11:54.910 --> 00:11:57.430
Just imagine, if you were just sitting there
262
00:11:58.270 --> 00:12:01.420
and all of a sudden the
shout takes place, the voice
263
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:04.630
of the archangel, the trump
of God, the dead are raised,
264
00:12:04.630 --> 00:12:09.630
and then you, you
instantly are transformed.
265
00:12:10.270 --> 00:12:12.070
And the Bible says this
is gonna happen in the
266
00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:13.480
twinkling of an eye.
267
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.250
We're gonna see this in just a moment,
268
00:12:15.250 --> 00:12:16.630
but the RIV
269
00:12:16.630 --> 00:12:21.460
of 1 Corinthians 15:51 is this: What I'm about
270
00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:23.770
to tell you is so amazing
271
00:12:23.770 --> 00:12:26.140
that it nearly leaves me speechless
272
00:12:26.140 --> 00:12:29.200
and I'm sure it will
totally flabbergast you.
273
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.290
Listen carefully for I'm
going to tell you something
274
00:12:32.290 --> 00:12:35.110
that was previously an unknown mystery,
275
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.120
but it's now been revealed to us.
276
00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:40.600
And here it is. All of us will not die.
277
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.200
But in this particular moment,
all of us, both the dead
278
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:46.930
and the living, those who
are spiritually living,
279
00:12:46.930 --> 00:12:48.970
spiritually robust, spiritually thriving,
280
00:12:48.970 --> 00:12:52.660
spiritually vibrant and spiritually vigorous will be altered
281
00:12:52.660 --> 00:12:56.710
or changed miraculously, modified
282
00:12:56.710 --> 00:13:00.910
and supernaturally transformed. My friends,
283
00:13:00.910 --> 00:13:02.710
that is the clear teaching of scripture.
284
00:13:02.710 --> 00:13:05.350
And according to 1 Corinthians 15:2,
285
00:13:05.350 --> 00:13:07.660
it's gonna happen in a moment
in the twinkling of an eye.
286
00:13:07.660 --> 00:13:11.950
Look at the verse: in a moment, in the twinkling
287
00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:15.040
of an eye at the last trump.
288
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:18.130
Well, what does the Bible
mean when it says in a moment?
289
00:13:18.130 --> 00:13:21.700
The word moment, in Greek is the word, atomos.
290
00:13:21.700 --> 00:13:23.680
It's where you get the word for an atom.
291
00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:26.080
And of course an atom is so small you can't see it
292
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:27.850
with the natural eye.
293
00:13:27.850 --> 00:13:32.740
But this word moment describes
an indivisible moment,
294
00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:35.920
a split second or an instant.
295
00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:38.080
It is where we get the word atom
296
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:41.680
and it denotes something
tiny or microscopic.
297
00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:45.820
And in this case it pictures
a microscopic indivisible
298
00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:49.060
moment of time.
299
00:13:49.060 --> 00:13:50.590
And then Paul clarifies it
300
00:13:50.590 --> 00:13:53.500
by calling it the twinkling of an eye.
301
00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:55.150
I remember when I was growing up,
302
00:13:55.150 --> 00:13:57.640
I knew this scripture
about being changed in the
303
00:13:57.640 --> 00:13:58.720
twinkling of an eye.
304
00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:02.770
And I remember looking
in the mirror trying
305
00:14:02.770 --> 00:14:04.720
to catch a twinkle in my eye to see
306
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.820
how fast is the twinkling of an eye.
307
00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:09.220
Well, let's talk about
the twinkling of an eye.
308
00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:12.850
The Greek word actually describes a twinkling, a twitch
309
00:14:12.850 --> 00:14:14.410
or a blink
310
00:14:14.410 --> 00:14:19.060
or something that happens
so fast it is undetectable.
311
00:14:19.060 --> 00:14:20.950
One scholar, and I'm reading from my notes
312
00:14:20.950 --> 00:14:22.780
because I want to get this right,
313
00:14:22.780 --> 00:14:26.680
one scholar notes the speed of an eye twitch
314
00:14:26.680 --> 00:14:30.190
or a blink of an eye is a 10th of a second
315
00:14:30.190 --> 00:14:35.170
or 100 milliseconds. My friends, that's important
316
00:14:35.170 --> 00:14:36.880
and that's fast.
317
00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:39.430
To try to understand how
fast this event is going
318
00:14:39.430 --> 00:14:43.480
to take place, just look
into the mirror and blank.
319
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.800
Just look into the mirror and blank
320
00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:47.440
and see how long it takes
for you to close your eyes
321
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:48.970
and open your eyes.
322
00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:53.180
Paul used this word in 1 Corinthians 15:
323
00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:56.900
52, to tell us how fast these events are going
324
00:14:56.900 --> 00:15:00.050
to take place. Before you can close your eyes
325
00:15:00.050 --> 00:15:01.640
and open them again,
326
00:15:01.640 --> 00:15:05.840
this event is going to be completed. That is amazing.
327
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.140
In a microscopic, indivisible moment of time,
328
00:15:09.140 --> 00:15:10.490
like the twinkling twitch
329
00:15:10.490 --> 00:15:14.780
or blink of an eye, the
bodies of the righteous dead
330
00:15:14.780 --> 00:15:18.500
and those who are alive living
vibrantly in their faith are
331
00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:20.510
gonna be transformed
332
00:15:20.510 --> 00:15:25.100
and they'll be caught up to
meet the Lord in the air.
333
00:15:26.510 --> 00:15:29.420
Is that amazing? That is just amazing.
334
00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:32.990
Scholars agree that this phrase, twinkling
335
00:15:32.990 --> 00:15:36.410
of an eye, are used to signify how speedily
336
00:15:36.410 --> 00:15:40.490
and suddenly this event
is going to transpire.
337
00:15:40.490 --> 00:15:42.620
And I want to say again,
before you can open
338
00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:45.650
and close your eyes, it's gonna be done;
339
00:15:45.650 --> 00:15:47.330
it's going to be done.
340
00:15:47.330 --> 00:15:50.660
But notice then again in 1 Corinthians 15:52,
341
00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:52.220
the trump shows up again.
342
00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:54.050
The trump shows up again.
343
00:15:54.050 --> 00:15:56.720
It says in a moment, in the twinkling
344
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.750
of an eye at the last trump.
345
00:15:59.750 --> 00:16:02.360
Now many people try to extrapolate this
346
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.330
to describe some kind of a Jewish trumpet,
347
00:16:05.330 --> 00:16:07.490
and maybe it does, but
we don't need to do that
348
00:16:07.490 --> 00:16:09.950
because the Greek word
is sufficient by itself.
349
00:16:09.950 --> 00:16:12.080
Even the word last is so very important.
350
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.660
I'm gonna get into this. I
want you to understand it.
351
00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:17.450
The word trump is the Greek word, salpingx,
352
00:16:17.450 --> 00:16:21.110
and the word salpingx, was a word very known in the Greek
353
00:16:21.110 --> 00:16:22.250
and Roman world.
354
00:16:22.250 --> 00:16:23.600
It was very well known.
355
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.560
It was a war trumpet that
announced the commencement
356
00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:30.530
of battle. In addition to summoning troops
357
00:16:30.530 --> 00:16:33.410
to battle the blast of this particular
358
00:16:33.410 --> 00:16:35.270
salpingx, trumpet was intended
359
00:16:35.270 --> 00:16:39.530
to be a declaration from the
outset of a military campaign
360
00:16:39.530 --> 00:16:41.060
that ultimate victory
361
00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:45.950
and the vanquishing of all
enemies was about to occur.
362
00:16:45.950 --> 00:16:50.950
It's a war trumpet blasting a big battle.
363
00:16:51.110 --> 00:16:53.480
And when this trumpet is blasted,
364
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.430
not only will it summon
us from the graves,
365
00:16:55.430 --> 00:16:59.810
it will be God's declaration
that he is waging war
366
00:16:59.810 --> 00:17:02.300
with the unrighteous on
the face of the earth.
367
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:04.310
And not just that he's waging war,
368
00:17:04.310 --> 00:17:07.340
it will be his declaration
that he's going to end.
369
00:17:07.340 --> 00:17:11.900
He's going to vanquish all
enemies. That's what it means.
370
00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:13.940
And this word trumpet was also used in the
371
00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:16.160
context of a court.
372
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.540
Legally it was used to describe the blasting of the trumpet,
373
00:17:20.540 --> 00:17:23.390
which meant a verdict has been reached
374
00:17:23.390 --> 00:17:27.500
and now judgment is going to
be executed upon the guilty.
375
00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:30.590
And my friends, you have to understand that chronologically,
376
00:17:30.590 --> 00:17:32.180
when the dead are raised
377
00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:35.960
and when the church is raptured into the presence
378
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.570
of the Lord, that's when war is gonna
379
00:17:38.570 --> 00:17:39.620
take place on the earth.
380
00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:42.710
That's when the great tribulation is going to take place.
381
00:17:42.710 --> 00:17:45.110
And I want to note - the Bible tells us
382
00:17:45.110 --> 00:17:46.760
that we're ambassadors for Christ.
383
00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:49.500
Do you know that before war takes place,
384
00:17:49.500 --> 00:17:53.760
a country always calls
its ambassador's home.
385
00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:57.690
They always remove their
ambassadors from the conflict.
386
00:17:57.690 --> 00:17:59.460
And before the war really begins,
387
00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:01.860
God's gonna call his ambassador's home.
388
00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:03.150
That's the rapture of the church.
389
00:18:03.150 --> 00:18:06.510
We're gonna be caught up
with the Lord in the air
390
00:18:06.510 --> 00:18:08.640
and that's when war is
going to begin on earth
391
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:09.960
for 7 years.
392
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.840
This really is what the scripture teaches.
393
00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:15.180
Oh my goodness, this is so powerful.
394
00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:19.200
And in 1 Corinthians 15:52, it says - In a moment,
395
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.510
in the twinkle of eye at the last trump,
396
00:18:21.510 --> 00:18:23.430
and there's something
else about this word last
397
00:18:23.430 --> 00:18:25.170
that is very, very important.
398
00:18:25.170 --> 00:18:27.720
It means the church age will be closed at this moment
399
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.970
and the tribulation will begin.
400
00:18:29.970 --> 00:18:32.520
Heaven's court will be ready
401
00:18:32.520 --> 00:18:34.860
to execute judgment against the ungodly.
402
00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:38.310
A grand battle with evil will take place
403
00:18:38.310 --> 00:18:41.550
and God's foes will be ultimately vanquished.
404
00:18:41.550 --> 00:18:44.550
That's why it's the last trump. This is the last battle.
405
00:18:44.550 --> 00:18:46.590
God's gonna deal with it all.
406
00:18:46.590 --> 00:18:49.110
And then verse 52 says,
407
00:18:49.110 --> 00:18:52.500
the dead shall be raised incorruptible
408
00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:54.900
and we shall be changed.
409
00:18:54.900 --> 00:18:56.970
The word dead, is the word nekros,
410
00:18:56.970 --> 00:18:59.280
but here it is the plural version.
411
00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:01.920
But this word describes a lifeless corpse
412
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.830
or a cadaver with no life left in it.
413
00:19:04.830 --> 00:19:06.900
It's talking about the
dead in Christ, those
414
00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:08.070
that have died in faith,
415
00:19:08.970 --> 00:19:11.280
their bodies are laying in the grave.
416
00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:15.720
And Paul says at this particular moment, the dead bodies
417
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.090
of the righteous are going to be raised
418
00:19:18.090 --> 00:19:22.470
and listen to this - the word raised means to awaken,
419
00:19:23.790 --> 00:19:26.280
to arise or to be resurrected.
420
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:28.230
And it importantly depicts those
421
00:19:28.230 --> 00:19:31.410
that have died in faith
rising or being resurrected.
422
00:19:31.410 --> 00:19:34.170
And it is the very word which was used
423
00:19:34.170 --> 00:19:37.800
to describe the arising of nobility
424
00:19:37.800 --> 00:19:40.860
and royalty: which means in the resurrection
425
00:19:40.860 --> 00:19:43.920
and in the rapture, we're gonna become who we really are.
426
00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:47.400
Oh, it's amazing. We're
going to become royalty.
427
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:52.400
And the RIV of 1 Corinthians 15:52 says, In a moment,
428
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.815
a split second, indivisible atom of time: as fast
429
00:19:57.815 --> 00:20:02.815
as the twitch of an eye, the
last trump, a war trumpet
430
00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:07.020
will loudly sound to signal
the closure of the age.
431
00:20:07.020 --> 00:20:09.510
It will also signal that the final battle,
432
00:20:09.510 --> 00:20:11.220
ultimate victory in vanquishing
433
00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:14.610
of all God's enemies are
finally about to happen.
434
00:20:14.610 --> 00:20:18.540
That blast will be God's
way of letting everyone know
435
00:20:18.540 --> 00:20:22.770
that his enemies have been judged by heaven's court of law,
436
00:20:22.770 --> 00:20:24.270
that they have lost their footing
437
00:20:24.270 --> 00:20:26.430
and longstanding battle with him.
438
00:20:26.430 --> 00:20:28.830
That judgment is about to be executed
439
00:20:28.830 --> 00:20:30.870
and that he will reign victorious
440
00:20:30.870 --> 00:20:33.720
and supreme in total victory.
441
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.310
And in that flash of a moment,
the dead will be resurrected
442
00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:40.590
and will stand up right on their feet.
443
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:45.240
And that is where we're gonna
begin in the next program.
444
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.230
This is so exciting.
445
00:20:47.230 --> 00:20:49.930
I'm out of time, but I'll
be back in just a moment.
446
00:20:58.150 --> 00:20:59.770
Someone has asked the question -
447
00:20:59.770 --> 00:21:03.100
How do I begin speaking in tongues?
448
00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:05.050
Well, that's a great question.
449
00:21:05.050 --> 00:21:08.680
You need to ask Jesus to fill
you with the Holy Spirit.
450
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.770
We're told in the Bible that
he is the one that baptizes
451
00:21:11.770 --> 00:21:13.480
with the Holy Spirit and power.
452
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.330
And in Acts 2, when they were filled
453
00:21:16.330 --> 00:21:19.750
with the Holy Spirit, they begin to speak with other tongues
454
00:21:19.750 --> 00:21:22.360
as the spirit gave them the utterance.
455
00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:25.540
But notice it says the Spirit
gave them the utterance.
456
00:21:25.540 --> 00:21:27.370
They had to speak it out,
457
00:21:27.370 --> 00:21:30.070
but the Holy Spirit gave them the ability.
458
00:21:30.070 --> 00:21:31.390
When I received the baptism
459
00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:33.610
and the Holy Spirit, I was afraid to begin
460
00:21:33.610 --> 00:21:36.280
to pray in tongues because I was concerned
461
00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:38.380
that maybe I was just making it up.
462
00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:39.880
But one day the Holy Spirit spoke to me
463
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.980
and said, come on Rick, let's get started.
464
00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:45.670
And I began to speak by faith
and it was like a dam broke
465
00:21:45.670 --> 00:21:48.550
and suddenly pouring forth from the inside
466
00:21:48.550 --> 00:21:51.220
of me was this beautiful language.
467
00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:53.710
And my friends today praying in tongues
468
00:21:53.710 --> 00:21:57.010
as a very significant part of my life.
469
00:21:57.010 --> 00:21:58.600
And if you've never prayed in tongues,
470
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:00.100
but you want to pray in tongues,
471
00:22:00.100 --> 00:22:02.290
it's really the language of your spirit.
472
00:22:02.290 --> 00:22:05.500
It's the most direct communication between your spirit
473
00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:07.150
and God who also is a spirit.
474
00:22:07.150 --> 00:22:10.210
Just say, Jesus, fill me with the Holy Spirit.
475
00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:12.340
Open your mouth and begin to speak
476
00:22:12.340 --> 00:22:15.430
and Jesus will enable you to begin to pray
477
00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:17.717
in other tongues.
478
00:22:17.717 --> 00:22:21.010
Are you afraid of what will
happen at the end of the age?
479
00:22:21.010 --> 00:22:23.620
The Lord's return should not scare us,
480
00:22:23.620 --> 00:22:26.350
but instead, comfort us.
481
00:22:26.350 --> 00:22:29.950

506
00:23:50.930 --> 00:23:52.190
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
507
00:23:52.190 --> 00:23:55.430
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
508
00:23:55.430 --> 00:23:58.280
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters,
509
00:23:58.280 --> 00:24:01.430
and this building is just so wonderful.
510
00:24:01.430 --> 00:24:06.200
You know the Bible tells us in Proverbs 10:21, The lips
511
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.990
of the Righteous feed many.
512
00:24:08.990 --> 00:24:11.780
And I know that is our assignment.
513
00:24:11.780 --> 00:24:16.010
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
514
00:24:16.010 --> 00:24:17.540
of the Bible.
515
00:24:17.540 --> 00:24:20.030
And together with you and all of our partners,
516
00:24:20.030 --> 00:24:23.930
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the word of God
517
00:24:23.930 --> 00:24:26.870
to the very ends of the earth.
518
00:24:26.870 --> 00:24:29.270
But this is the reception
part of the Tulsa building.
519
00:24:29.270 --> 00:24:31.040
And every day thousands
520
00:24:31.040 --> 00:24:34.940
of phone calls come into
this facility from people
521
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:36.770
that are watching the program
522
00:24:36.770 --> 00:24:39.140
and who are reaching out for prayer.
523
00:24:39.140 --> 00:24:43.250
Right now we've paid off
about 78% of this facility
524
00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:45.590
and that is just wonderful.
525
00:24:45.590 --> 00:24:47.540
But now we need to knock
it out of the ballpark.
526
00:24:47.540 --> 00:24:49.100
We need to finish this
527
00:24:49.100 --> 00:24:52.040
because when we're finished
paying off this facility,
528
00:24:52.040 --> 00:24:54.500
that frees up finances.
529
00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:56.300
So we can take the teaching of the Bible
530
00:24:56.300 --> 00:24:59.510
to more places across
the face of the earth
531
00:24:59.510 --> 00:25:02.330
where people are crying out for someone
532
00:25:02.330 --> 00:25:04.670
to feed them the word of God.
533
00:25:04.670 --> 00:25:07.370
And so today, if you're not already a part
534
00:25:07.370 --> 00:25:10.370
of our giving team to pay off
this facility, I'm asking you
535
00:25:10.370 --> 00:25:14.390
to join us as a part of our Ministry Expansion Project
536
00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:18.500
to pay off this facility and we can say, done, finished,
537
00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:20.300
and give glory to God.
538
00:25:20.300 --> 00:25:22.610
Then my friends, we can
only do it with your help.
539
00:25:22.610 --> 00:25:25.790
So thank you if you're
already part of the team,
540
00:25:25.790 --> 00:25:29.300
and if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
541
00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:31.490
of the Giving Team to pay off this facility
542
00:25:31.490 --> 00:25:33.380
so we can be finished with it
543
00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:36.230
and use these funds to
take the gospel further
544
00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:38.540
to other places across the world.
545
00:25:46.520 --> 00:25:49.310
Well, we have covered a lot of information today from
546
00:25:49.310 --> 00:25:51.440
1 Corinthians 15:51
547
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.860
52; my friends, the teaching about the resurrection
548
00:25:54.860 --> 00:25:56.660
of the dead and the rapture of the church is
549
00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:58.880
so clearly taught in scripture
550
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:00.860
and you need to understand it.
551
00:26:00.860 --> 00:26:02.870
So please order the whole series,
552
00:26:02.870 --> 00:26:04.910
which is called. The Rapture, the Antichrist
553
00:26:04.910 --> 00:26:06.230
and the Tribulation.
554
00:26:06.230 --> 00:26:08.420
And remember that it comes with a study guide.
555
00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:10.910
And please, please, please order the book.
556
00:26:10.910 --> 00:26:14.210
It's 464 pages from cover to cover.
557
00:26:14.210 --> 00:26:16.940
And the book is also called
The Rapture, the Antichrist,
558
00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:20.210
the Tribulation, an End-Times Countdown
559
00:26:20.210 --> 00:26:22.190
and What Happens Next?
560
00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:24.020
We need to be informed about
561
00:26:24.020 --> 00:26:28.580
what is gonna take place when
Jesus comes for the church
562
00:26:28.580 --> 00:26:31.490
and to raise the righteous from the dead.
563
00:26:31.490 --> 00:26:34.430
It is amazing and we need
to know what's gonna happen
564
00:26:34.430 --> 00:26:36.680
after that because if we have family
565
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.690
or friends that are left, they're going
566
00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:41.870
to experience the antichrist
and the tribulation.
567
00:26:41.870 --> 00:26:44.190
What does the Bible really
say about all of this?
568
00:26:44.190 --> 00:26:47.040
Please order this. Go online
to order all these things now.
569
00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:50.430
And please remember that
we want to pray for you.
570
00:26:50.430 --> 00:26:53.730
So when you reach out to us, please let us know how to pray.
571
00:26:53.730 --> 00:26:55.680
Just call the number on the screen
572
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.190
and write it down so you'll always have that number near you
573
00:26:59.190 --> 00:27:01.890
or you can send us an email.
574
00:27:01.890 --> 00:27:05.580
But Lord, I'm just rejoicing today about the future.
575
00:27:05.580 --> 00:27:07.710
You tell us that this should be comforting to us
576
00:27:07.710 --> 00:27:08.790
and really it is
577
00:27:08.790 --> 00:27:10.140
Lord. We thank you
578
00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:12.600
the grave is not the end, and we thank you
579
00:27:12.600 --> 00:27:15.450
there really will be a generation that escapes death
580
00:27:15.450 --> 00:27:17.310
and will be caught up
to meet you in the air.
581
00:27:17.310 --> 00:27:20.280
Thank you Jesus - Amen.
582
00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:22.740
I'll see you in the next program.
583
00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:25.890
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
584
00:27:25.890 --> 00:27:28.650
of a king is, there is power."
585
00:27:28.650 --> 00:27:30.900
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
586
00:27:30.900 --> 00:27:35.250
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
587
00:27:35.250 --> 00:27:37.440
Jesus has to give you.
588
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.490
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
589
00:27:41.490 --> 00:27:45.510
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
590
00:27:45.510 --> 00:27:48.480
and Lord. Wash away my sin
591
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:51.510
and make me completely new.
592
00:27:51.510 --> 00:27:55.410
I thank you that my sin is removed
593
00:27:55.410 --> 00:28:00.410
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
594
00:28:00.870 --> 00:28:04.860
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
595
00:28:04.860 --> 00:28:06.510
for the rest of my life.
596
00:28:07.410 --> 00:28:12.410
Amen. Thank you for joining Rick Renner today.
