00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:03.810
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:07.860
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.860 --> 00:00:11.100
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:14.670
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:16.650
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:19.950
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:21.360
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:25.950
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.710
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:32.010
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.880
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:40.200
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.840
I've been waiting for
you and I'm so excited
14
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.800
because today I'm beginning
a brand new 10-part series
15
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:51.150
called, How Close Are We To the End.
16
00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:53.370
That's a question people are asking,
17
00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:58.080
and by the way, people have been asking that for 2000 years,
18
00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.210
but in Matthew 24, in Mark 13
19
00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:04.620
and Luke 21, Jesus gives us a
list of signs to let us know
20
00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:07.170
how close we are to the end.
21
00:01:07.170 --> 00:01:10.980
But my friends, I'm so excited
about this brand new 10-part
22
00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:14.490
series, which comes with a wonderful study guide.
23
00:01:14.490 --> 00:01:17.760
And I'm so excited about my book called - Signs
24
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:18.930
You'll See Just
25
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:23.850
Before Jesus Comes. It is just wonderful
26
00:01:23.850 --> 00:01:26.640
and you can find out about all
these things by going online
27
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:27.930
or giving us a call.
28
00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:32.190
And during every episode of
this program, we are giving
29
00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:34.950
to you and End-Times timeline;
30
00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:37.170
we've designed this just for you.
31
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:38.820
It shows all the prophecies
32
00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:41.130
that have already been fulfilled.
33
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:44.160
It shows that those
that are being fulfilled
34
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.220
and then it shows those that
are yet to be fulfilled.
35
00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:50.250
And we made this for you,
so we want you to have it.
36
00:01:50.250 --> 00:01:53.040
And all you have to do is
go online to download it,
37
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.160
or if you call us, we'll
send you a physical copy.
38
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.520
And when you get it, it will
really open the scriptures
39
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:02.700
for you to let you see where
we've been, where we are,
40
00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:04.710
what's still going to take place.
41
00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:08.940
It is an End-Time timeline - it's for you.
42
00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:11.580
All you have to do is call
the number on the screen,
43
00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:15.390
we'll send it to you, or
you can download it by going
44
00:02:15.390 --> 00:02:16.680
to our website.
45
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.600
But we really want you to get this.
46
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:21.300
I believe we'll help
you see the whole view
47
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:23.100
of prophecy in scripture.
48
00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:25.860
And when you reach out
to us, please let us know
49
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:27.360
how to pray for you.
50
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.040
We're praying for you anyway,
51
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:30.840
but when you let us know
how to pray for you,
52
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.040
we're gonna do a better job.
53
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:33.660
We're gonna be much more effective.
54
00:02:33.660 --> 00:02:36.600
And we have so many
testimonies from people
55
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:40.140
that have called back to say - Wow! You prayed with us
56
00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:42.180
and listened to what Jesus did,
57
00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:46.290
and we believe Jesus has
an answer for you as well.
58
00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:49.080
But reach for your Bible - now today
59
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.540
and in the next 9-programs, we are really,
60
00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:54.690
really gonna dive deep into the scriptures
61
00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:56.010
and I want you to have your Bible
62
00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:57.840
and open it if you would please to
63
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.890
Matthew 24,
64
00:02:59.890 --> 00:03:02.770
and we're going to begin today in verse 1.
65
00:03:02.770 --> 00:03:07.480
Matthew 24:1. Jesus has just come out of the temple
66
00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:11.740
with his disciples and he pauses to teach on his way out.
67
00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:15.430
And the Bible tells us in Matthew 24:1,
68
00:03:15.430 --> 00:03:18.130
And Jesus went out and departed from the temple
69
00:03:18.130 --> 00:03:21.760
and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings
70
00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:22.840
of the temple.
71
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.430
Now listen to verse 2.
72
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:26.620
Jesus said unto them,
73
00:03:26.620 --> 00:03:30.100
Seee not all these things? Verily I say unto you,
74
00:03:30.100 --> 00:03:35.050
there shall not be left here one stone upon another
75
00:03:35.050 --> 00:03:38.110
that shall not be thrown down.
76
00:03:38.110 --> 00:03:39.940
I'm gonna tell you the
truth. When Jesus said
77
00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:43.150
that there could have
been nothing more shocking
78
00:03:43.150 --> 00:03:46.600
or stunning for him to
say to the disciples
79
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:49.540
because the temple was enormous.
80
00:03:49.540 --> 00:03:51.670
In fact, today if you go to Jerusalem
81
00:03:51.670 --> 00:03:54.400
and you go to the whaling
wall just to see what is left
82
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.690
of the retaining wall,
the stones are enormous.
83
00:03:58.690 --> 00:03:59.890
And it's hard to imagine
84
00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:04.060
that those stones would be
toppled down onto the ground.
85
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:07.870
But Jesus said, A day is coming when these stones are going
86
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:10.510
to fall and the temple will no longer exist.
87
00:04:10.510 --> 00:04:14.740
That seemed unbelievable. It seemed implausible.
88
00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:17.290
But in the year 70 AD, that is exactly
89
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:21.340
what happened when Titus
sacked the city of Jerusalem.
90
00:04:21.340 --> 00:04:24.340
And today when you go
to the city of Jerusalem
91
00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:28.540
and you walk along the bottom
part of the retaining walls
92
00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:30.910
of the temple, guess what's there -
93
00:04:30.910 --> 00:04:34.570
the big stones there were toppled from the temple itself.
94
00:04:34.570 --> 00:04:35.980
They're laying right there.
95
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:39.100
And every time you look at those stones,
96
00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:41.770
and it seemed it was so
impossible when Jesus spoke
97
00:04:41.770 --> 00:04:43.960
that word that that
would ever come to pass.
98
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:48.280
But just like Jesus said,
the temple was sacked,
99
00:04:48.280 --> 00:04:49.810
the stones fell.
100
00:04:49.810 --> 00:04:54.310
And when you see that big rubble of ancient, ancient stones,
101
00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:56.020
it is like a voice that is shouting
102
00:04:56.020 --> 00:04:58.600
to us - just like this happened,
103
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.980
everything else Jesus said in Matthew 24 will also
104
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:04.600
come to pass.
105
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.720
Those stones are a prophetic declaration
106
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:12.340
that everything in Matthew 24 really is going to happen.
107
00:05:12.340 --> 00:05:15.070
Well, that was stunning for
the apostles to hear that.
108
00:05:15.070 --> 00:05:16.810
But finally, Jesus
109
00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:19.360
and the disciples walked across the Kidron Valley
110
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.700
and they went over onto the Mount of Olives.
111
00:05:21.700 --> 00:05:23.260
And from the Mount of Olives,
112
00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:25.540
if you look back across the Kidron Valley,
113
00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:27.970
you have a panoramic view of the city of Jerusalem.
114
00:05:27.970 --> 00:05:30.310
And it is just beautiful. If you want
115
00:05:30.310 --> 00:05:33.580
to have a prophetic view, that is a prophetic view.
116
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:36.820
And when we come to verse 3, it says,
117
00:05:36.820 --> 00:05:39.160
And as he sat up on the Mount of Olives,
118
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.670
his disciples came unto him privately.
119
00:05:42.670 --> 00:05:44.680
Notice that when they were alone with Jesus,
120
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.960
they felt the freedom to ask questions
121
00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:49.270
that he would not answer
in front of the multitudes.
122
00:05:49.270 --> 00:05:51.580
And let me tell you that when
you get along with Jesus,
123
00:05:51.580 --> 00:05:56.170
Jesus will tell you things
just for your ears as well.
124
00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:59.330
But they asked him privately saying - now listen to this -
125
00:05:59.330 --> 00:06:02.360
When shall these things be?
126
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.120
What shall be the sign of thy coming
127
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.850
and of the end of the world?
128
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:11.300
Well, at this particular time,
there was a great interest
129
00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:13.940
and fascination with end-time events.
130
00:06:13.940 --> 00:06:15.470
The people of Israel were waiting
131
00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:16.580
for the coming of the Messiah.
132
00:06:16.580 --> 00:06:19.490
And of course he came, but
they didn't recognize him.
133
00:06:19.490 --> 00:06:22.400
But there really was a general obsession
134
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:24.560
with End-Time events.
135
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.680
And in fact, between the two
testaments between the old
136
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.800
and the New Testament, there
was a great fixation on all
137
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.650
kinds of things having
to do with eschatology.
138
00:06:33.650 --> 00:06:35.630
So these questions were very fitting
139
00:06:35.630 --> 00:06:37.490
to the time they had a feeling,
140
00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:41.240
something very significant was about to happened.
141
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.620
And the question they asked,
when shall these things be?
142
00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:48.440
This was very fitting for that age,
143
00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:50.870
and that's why they were
asking the question.
144
00:06:50.870 --> 00:06:53.390
This was a very typical
question at that time.
145
00:06:53.390 --> 00:06:55.880
And isn't it interesting that as we wait
146
00:06:55.880 --> 00:06:58.970
for the 2nd coming of Jesus, once again,
147
00:06:58.970 --> 00:07:00.928
there's a fascination,
148
00:07:00.928 --> 00:07:03.269
there's a fixation on End-Time events.
149
00:07:03.269 --> 00:07:07.220
The church has a sense that
we're coming to the very end
150
00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:10.160
of the age and people are asking the same questions
151
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.110
again - When shall these things be?
152
00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:15.680
What shall be the sign of thy coming and
153
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.660
of the end of the age?
154
00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:19.250
But I wanna go to the board
155
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:20.690
and I wanna take apart this verse
156
00:07:20.690 --> 00:07:24.530
so you really understand
exactly what they were asking.
157
00:07:24.530 --> 00:07:27.620
So let's go to the board - gonna get my marker.
158
00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:31.940
And first of all, they said - when. The word, when,
159
00:07:33.380 --> 00:07:36.980
is a very important word. In Greek, it is the word pote.
160
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.160
Now, if you wanna write this down in English,
161
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.240
it's spelled like this; but the word pote is very specific:
162
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.750
exactly when. Now remember
now they're alone with Jesus.
163
00:07:47.750 --> 00:07:48.860
Nobody else is listening.
164
00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:51.560
So they feel the freedom
to really get specific.
165
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.070
And they said, Lord, when - pote. Tell us exactly when
166
00:07:56.030 --> 00:07:59.240
shall these things be,
and what shall be the sign
167
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:00.620
of thy coming at the end of the age?
168
00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:05.270
Then they said, what? And the word, what is the Greek word
169
00:08:05.270 --> 00:08:06.950
Ti - if you're taking notes
170
00:08:06.950 --> 00:08:09.410
and you wanna write in English, it's spelled like this.
171
00:08:09.410 --> 00:08:14.240
The word, ti, describes the most minute, minuscule detail.
172
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:15.800
It was the equivalent of saying, Lord,
173
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.560
we don't want a general answer, Lord, we want you
174
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.470
to get really specific with us, first:
175
00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:24.620
when, pote, tell us when exactly
176
00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:27.170
and what shall be the sign of thy coming?
177
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:30.110
What the little Greek word ti - exactly what, Lord,
178
00:08:30.110 --> 00:08:31.820
please no fuzzy details.
179
00:08:31.820 --> 00:08:33.020
Get down to specifics.
180
00:08:33.020 --> 00:08:38.020
Exactly what shall be
the sign of thy coming.
181
00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:43.040
And the word sign is also very important.
182
00:08:43.040 --> 00:08:47.240
It is the Greek word semeion - spelled like this in Greek.
183
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:48.890
If you wanna write it down in English,
184
00:08:48.890 --> 00:08:53.510
you would spell S-E-M-E-I-O-N.
185
00:08:53.510 --> 00:08:57.840
This word, simeion, described a sign
186
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.000
to let you know where you were on the road.
187
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.850
Just like when you're traveling today, there are signs
188
00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:04.470
to let you know where you are.
189
00:09:04.470 --> 00:09:07.110
I'll give you an example from my own life.
190
00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:09.900
Let's say this is the city of Moscow
191
00:09:09.900 --> 00:09:12.360
and in the middle of Moscow is the Kremlin.
192
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:13.500
Well, Denise and I
193
00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:17.880
and our offices are just outside the city, 7
194
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.800
and 1/2 miles.
195
00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:24.390
As we take that road into the city of Moscow, we begin at
196
00:09:24.390 --> 00:09:26.070
where we live and where our office is.
197
00:09:26.070 --> 00:09:29.250
And there are trees, there are
pastures, there are forests.
198
00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:31.650
It's just so beautiful
where our office is.
199
00:09:31.650 --> 00:09:35.460
But as we take this road into
the city, there are signs
200
00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:37.620
to let us know that
we're entering into a new
201
00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:39.810
atmosphere, a new environment.
202
00:09:39.810 --> 00:09:43.080
First we begin to see more
industry, then we begin
203
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.000
to see taller buildings.
204
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.390
And finally it's more dense, dense, dense with more industry
205
00:09:48.390 --> 00:09:49.830
and taller and taller buildings.
206
00:09:49.830 --> 00:09:54.210
And finally we crossed this major highway called MKAD,
207
00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:56.550
and when you cross that road,
208
00:09:56.550 --> 00:09:58.650
you're no longer traveling toward Moscow,
209
00:09:58.650 --> 00:10:00.570
but you've entered Moscow.
210
00:10:00.570 --> 00:10:04.140
But there's something else. As you drive that road,
211
00:10:04.140 --> 00:10:06.785
there are little road signs that tell you
212
00:10:06.785 --> 00:10:09.780
where you are on the road
and how far you have to go
213
00:10:09.780 --> 00:10:12.780
before you get to the city of Moscow.
214
00:10:12.780 --> 00:10:15.510
If there were no signs,
you would have no idea
215
00:10:15.510 --> 00:10:17.160
where you were on the road.
216
00:10:17.160 --> 00:10:20.010
But because of what you
see as the environment
217
00:10:20.010 --> 00:10:22.200
and the atmosphere is changing and
218
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.830
because of the signs which
tell you where you are
219
00:10:25.830 --> 00:10:27.810
and alert you to how much
further you have to go,
220
00:10:27.810 --> 00:10:30.300
you're always able to
measure where you are.
221
00:10:30.300 --> 00:10:33.330
And finally, when you
come to this juncture,
222
00:10:33.330 --> 00:10:36.420
there's a big sign that says Moscow.
223
00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:38.940
And you know you're no longer
heading toward the city,
224
00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:43.350
but you've entered into
the territory of Moscow.
225
00:10:43.350 --> 00:10:45.300
Well, this word semeion describes
226
00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:47.130
what I just described for you.
227
00:10:47.130 --> 00:10:48.300
Either road signs
228
00:10:48.300 --> 00:10:51.420
or signs of different sorts,
which you see along the way.
229
00:10:51.420 --> 00:10:54.750
And now we find that as we
journey from where we are
230
00:10:54.750 --> 00:10:58.530
to the end of the age to
the close of this season,
231
00:10:58.530 --> 00:11:00.270
things are gonna begin to change.
232
00:11:00.270 --> 00:11:04.590
The environment's gonna change; society is going to change.
233
00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:08.070
We're gonna see changes in culture, changes in politics,
234
00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:10.486
all kinds of changes and in Matthew 24,
235
00:11:10.486 --> 00:11:12.228
Jesus gives us a list
236
00:11:12.228 --> 00:11:14.370
of the changes that we will see.
237
00:11:14.370 --> 00:11:17.910
And if we pay attention to
the signs, we can determine
238
00:11:17.910 --> 00:11:20.070
where we are on this
prophetic road heading
239
00:11:20.070 --> 00:11:21.660
to the close of the age.
240
00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:24.300
And that's why Jesus gave us signs.
241
00:11:24.300 --> 00:11:28.200
He wants us to be informed
about where we are
242
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.270
and how much further we have to go
243
00:11:30.270 --> 00:11:32.730
before we come to the close.
244
00:11:32.730 --> 00:11:36.120
That's what this word - sign - means, the word semeion.
245
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.500
But they particularly ask
246
00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:39.600
what would be the sign of thy coming?
247
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.530
The word coming is the
248
00:11:43.530 --> 00:11:44.850
Greek word, parousia.
249
00:11:44.850 --> 00:11:46.260
It's spelled like this.
250
00:11:48.630 --> 00:11:51.750
If you wanna write it in English, it's spelled like this.
251
00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:56.710
The word - parousia - means to be present
252
00:11:56.710 --> 00:11:58.570
or it describes the coming of the Lord.
253
00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:01.180
Now people argue about this word
254
00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:04.090
and some people say, well,
this word only describes the
255
00:12:04.090 --> 00:12:05.950
second advent, the second coming at the
256
00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:07.180
end of the tribulation.
257
00:12:07.180 --> 00:12:09.610
And certainly it is used to describe that.
258
00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:11.980
But when you study the New Testament,
259
00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:15.550
you find this word parousia is used to describe both events:
260
00:12:15.550 --> 00:12:18.790
the rapture of the church and the second advent
261
00:12:18.790 --> 00:12:21.550
or the second coming, which is 7-years later.
262
00:12:21.550 --> 00:12:24.700
And the way you understand which one it is describing is
263
00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:26.740
by the context of the verses.
264
00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:28.223
But I wanna read to you from my notes
265
00:12:28.223 --> 00:12:29.964
about this word, parousia
266
00:12:29.964 --> 00:12:31.390
or the word coming.
267
00:12:31.390 --> 00:12:36.040
Listen to this. The word, parousia is a technical expression
268
00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:38.800
for the royal visit of a king or emperor
269
00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:40.510
or the arrival of one.
270
00:12:40.510 --> 00:12:44.620
who alone has the authority to deal
271
00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:48.460
with the situation and to
put things incorrect order.
272
00:12:48.460 --> 00:12:50.590
And as I noted many state
273
00:12:50.590 --> 00:12:53.410
that this word parousia only describes the second
274
00:12:53.410 --> 00:12:54.460
advent of Christ.
275
00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:57.490
But a survey that's used in the New Testament shows,
276
00:12:57.490 --> 00:13:01.330
it describes the coming of Christ at the time of the rapture
277
00:13:01.330 --> 00:13:03.520
and also his second coming,
278
00:13:03.520 --> 00:13:06.820
which we also call the second advent.
279
00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:08.290
But here they're asking, Lord,
280
00:13:08.290 --> 00:13:10.900
how will we know when we've come to the very end
281
00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:15.670
of the age when, pote, exactly when shall these things be?
282
00:13:15.670 --> 00:13:18.130
What the little Greek word ti, exactly
283
00:13:18.130 --> 00:13:22.240
what, Lord get specific, will be the sign, the word semeion,
284
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.650
which describes our road sign.
285
00:13:23.650 --> 00:13:26.260
How will we know where we
are on the prophetic road
286
00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:28.870
as we're handing to the close of the age?
287
00:13:28.870 --> 00:13:32.020
What will be the sign of
thy coming the word parousia.
288
00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:34.480
Lord, when you're gonna come,
289
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.800
you're gonna right every wrong,
290
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:37.390
you're gonna put everything in order.
291
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.230
And then it says the end of the world.
292
00:13:41.230 --> 00:13:43.270
That's what the King James Version says.
293
00:13:43.270 --> 00:13:47.020
But the word - end - is also very important.
294
00:13:47.020 --> 00:13:48.070
It is the Greek word
295
00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:52.810
sun, sun TOIs in
296
00:13:52.810 --> 00:13:55.330
English, it would be spelled like this.
297
00:13:55.330 --> 00:13:56.470
Now let me tell you,
298
00:13:56.470 --> 00:13:58.540
there's never gonna be an end of the world.
299
00:13:58.540 --> 00:14:00.370
This word, end, the word
300
00:14:00.370 --> 00:14:03.550
sunteleias, would be better translated - the closure,
301
00:14:03.550 --> 00:14:05.590
the consummation or the wrap up.
302
00:14:05.590 --> 00:14:07.330
And that's what they were asking.
303
00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:12.100
And very importantly, the word world, which is
304
00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.560
how it's translated in the King James Version,
305
00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:16.570
is actually the Greek word ionis
306
00:14:18.190 --> 00:14:20.080
spelled like this in English.
307
00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:24.520
And the word, aionos does not describe the world like the
308
00:14:24.520 --> 00:14:26.650
planet, but it describes the age.
309
00:14:26.650 --> 00:14:30.610
I want to tell you to relax. The world's never going to end.
310
00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:33.190
Now there's a day when it's
gonna be refined by fire
311
00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:34.780
and it's going to be changed,
312
00:14:34.780 --> 00:14:37.180
but the world itself is never going to end,
313
00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:38.620
but the age is going to end.
314
00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:41.560
And that's what we're
talking about in this series.
315
00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:45.010
And here they were asking,
Lord, how will we know
316
00:14:46.150 --> 00:14:49.300
when it's time for the
wrap up, the closure,
317
00:14:49.300 --> 00:14:51.980
the consummation of the aionos,
318
00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:54.800
of this particular age?
319
00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:57.140
That is precisely what they were asking.
320
00:14:57.140 --> 00:15:00.710
They were fixated on this
age. When is it going to end?
321
00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:03.350
And guess what? These are
the same questions people
322
00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:04.700
are asking today.
323
00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:07.580
Maybe you've been asking
these questions. Here it is.
324
00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:11.930
Lord, tell us when, when
shall these things be
325
00:15:11.930 --> 00:15:14.630
and what specifically,
Lord, we wanna know down
326
00:15:14.630 --> 00:15:18.710
to the most minute detail
what shall be the sign,
327
00:15:18.710 --> 00:15:21.350
the road sign along the
prophetic road to let us know
328
00:15:21.350 --> 00:15:24.860
where we are and how close
we are to your coming,
329
00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:26.750
when you're gonna come
and right every wrong
330
00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:30.080
and set everything in order
at the end or the closure
331
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.530
or the wrap up of this current age.
332
00:15:33.530 --> 00:15:36.020
Now that's a lot on this verse,
333
00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:38.390
but that is specifically
what they were asking.
334
00:15:38.390 --> 00:15:42.410
And so when we come to Matthew 24:3, specifically,
335
00:15:42.410 --> 00:15:44.240
they asked for one sign,
336
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.600
one sign - what shall be the sign,
337
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.990
the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world.
338
00:15:50.990 --> 00:15:54.410
But in Matthew 24, Mark 13,
339
00:15:54.410 --> 00:15:58.070
and Luke 21, Jesus gives them a list
340
00:15:58.070 --> 00:15:59.600
of more than 20 signs.
341
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.010
They asked for one.
342
00:16:01.010 --> 00:16:02.540
But that's what happens when you get alone
343
00:16:02.540 --> 00:16:03.860
privately with the Lord.
344
00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:06.620
You ask him one question,
he'll answer your one question
345
00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:08.540
and he'll tell you many
other things as well.
346
00:16:08.540 --> 00:16:11.960
That's why you need to spend
time privately with Jesus.
347
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.330
But they said, Lord, what is the sign?
348
00:16:14.330 --> 00:16:18.650
But when we read these 3 gospels: Matthew 24,
349
00:16:18.650 --> 00:16:21.170
Mark 13, and Luke 21,
350
00:16:21.170 --> 00:16:24.830
Jesus gives us the following
signs to let us know
351
00:16:24.830 --> 00:16:27.890
that we're coming very, very
close to the close of the age.
352
00:16:27.890 --> 00:16:30.830
1st: worldwide deception.
353
00:16:30.830 --> 00:16:35.830
That is Matthew 24:4. Deception in the church.
354
00:16:36.020 --> 00:16:39.650
That is Matthew 24:5. Wars -
355
00:16:39.650 --> 00:16:43.790
Matthew 24:6: Rumors of wars -
356
00:16:43.790 --> 00:16:48.440
Matthew 24:6: Commotions, Luke 21:
357
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:53.300
9: Terrorism - Luke 21:9:
358
00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:58.250
Warring political systems - Matthew 24:7:
359
00:16:58.250 --> 00:17:00.350
The clash of culture:
360
00:17:00.350 --> 00:17:04.340
Matthew 24:7. Ethnic conflicts -
361
00:17:04.340 --> 00:17:08.870
Matthew 24:7. Famines - Matthew 24:7.
362
00:17:08.870 --> 00:17:10.970
Economic instability -
363
00:17:10.970 --> 00:17:15.890
Matthew 24:7. Pestilence - Matthew 24:7.
364
00:17:15.890 --> 00:17:19.580
Unknown diseases - Matthew 24:7.
365
00:17:19.580 --> 00:17:21.890
Great seismic activity -
366
00:17:21.890 --> 00:17:26.450
also, Matthew 24:7. Widespread persecution
367
00:17:26.450 --> 00:17:27.890
of believers -
368
00:17:27.890 --> 00:17:32.870
Matthew 24:9. The legal prosecution of Christians -
369
00:17:32.870 --> 00:17:36.740
Matthew 24:9. The imprisonment of believers -
370
00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:40.760
Matthew 24:9. The emergence of false prophets -
371
00:17:40.760 --> 00:17:43.190
Matthew 24:11. The love
372
00:17:43.190 --> 00:17:47.090
of many waxing cold - Matthew 24:12.
373
00:17:47.090 --> 00:17:48.650
Fearful sights -
374
00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:53.520
that's Luke 21:11. Signs from the heavens -
375
00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:55.110
that's Luke 21:11.
376
00:17:55.110 --> 00:17:59.160
And finally the worldwide preaching of the gospel -
377
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:01.920
Matthew 24:14.
378
00:18:02.850 --> 00:18:05.460
So they said, Lord, what is the sign?
379
00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:07.650
And Jesus gave them - No.1:
380
00:18:07.650 --> 00:18:09.240
what is the most important sign
381
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:10.470
that we've come to the end of the age?
382
00:18:10.470 --> 00:18:13.170
We're gonna be seeing
that in the next program,
383
00:18:13.170 --> 00:18:17.070
but in addition, Jesus gave
us all of these other signs.
384
00:18:17.070 --> 00:18:20.850
Now in Matthew 24:36, Jesus said,
385
00:18:20.850 --> 00:18:25.710
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
386
00:18:25.710 --> 00:18:29.850
of heaven, but my father. And my friends,
387
00:18:29.850 --> 00:18:33.330
that means we're wasting our time when we set dates
388
00:18:33.330 --> 00:18:34.560
to declare when the rapture
389
00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:36.600
of the church is going to take place.
390
00:18:36.600 --> 00:18:40.590
And when people set dates,
my friends, it causes people
391
00:18:40.590 --> 00:18:43.530
to doubt the whole subject
of the rapture of the church.
392
00:18:43.530 --> 00:18:45.690
If Jesus did not know the date
393
00:18:45.690 --> 00:18:48.210
and that the angels of heaven
don't know the date, then
394
00:18:48.210 --> 00:18:51.000
who are we to think we can find the date?
395
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.330
But that doesn't mean that
we can't know the season,
396
00:18:54.330 --> 00:18:57.180
and if we will listen to the
Holy Spirit, he will alert us
397
00:18:57.180 --> 00:18:59.010
to where we are in time.
398
00:18:59.010 --> 00:19:01.620
In fact, in John 16:13,
399
00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:03.900
Jesus said this about the prophetic
400
00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:05.280
ministry of the Holy Spirit.
401
00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:07.710
How be it when He, the
spirit of truth has come,
402
00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:11.910
he will guide you and do all of the truth.
403
00:19:11.910 --> 00:19:14.730
The word guide is the Greek word, hodega:
404
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.430
hodega: actually hodegos.
405
00:19:18.510 --> 00:19:21.150
And this is actually from the Greek word hodas,
406
00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.330
which is the Greek word for a road.
407
00:19:24.330 --> 00:19:25.620
It's the Greek word for a road.
408
00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:29.400
But when this word hodas becomes hodegas,
409
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.500
it's no longer our road,
410
00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:35.400
but it is a person who is a
tour guide or a road guide.
411
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.640
And now Jesus says the Holy
Spirit wants to be your guide;
412
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.070
just like you would hire a professional guide
413
00:19:41.070 --> 00:19:43.560
to take you on an excursion or a tour,
414
00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:46.140
the Holy Spirit knows everything in front of you.
415
00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:47.790
He knows everything that's going
416
00:19:47.790 --> 00:19:50.100
to happen eschatological in the future.
417
00:19:50.100 --> 00:19:53.040
And if you will allow him, he'll show you where
418
00:19:53.040 --> 00:19:54.180
to go, where not to go.
419
00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:55.710
He'll show you what's
going to happen next.
420
00:19:55.710 --> 00:19:58.560
He will alert you as to
what's going to happen.
421
00:19:58.560 --> 00:19:59.760
That's what Jesus said.
422
00:19:59.760 --> 00:20:02.400
That is the wonderful
ministry of the Holy Spirit.
423
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:05.760
And then Jesus went on to
say at the end of the verse
424
00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:10.760
that he shall speak and he
will show you things to come.
425
00:20:10.800 --> 00:20:13.385
And the word show is the Greek word,
426
00:20:13.385 --> 00:20:18.385
anangello: which means to declare, to make clear,
427
00:20:18.390 --> 00:20:22.650
to clearly vividly portray or even to rehearse.
428
00:20:22.650 --> 00:20:24.810
The 1st part of the word anangello is the word, an: it means
429
00:20:24.810 --> 00:20:26.700
to do it again and again and again.
430
00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:28.890
And here we find that if we will listen
431
00:20:28.890 --> 00:20:32.220
to the Holy Spirit like a road guide, he'll show us where
432
00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:35.820
to go and he will tell us,
he will declare to us over
433
00:20:35.820 --> 00:20:38.010
and over and over and over:
434
00:20:38.010 --> 00:20:41.430
the King James version says - things to come.
435
00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:45.360
The Greek actually says - the things that are coming. Well,
436
00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:48.340
we may not be able to pinpoint a date,
437
00:20:48.340 --> 00:20:49.960
but if we will listen to the Holy Spirit
438
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.290
and allow him to be our guide, he will quicken
439
00:20:53.290 --> 00:20:56.470
to us what's happening really around us.
440
00:20:56.470 --> 00:20:58.750
Many times we just see what's happening in the news,
441
00:20:58.750 --> 00:21:01.390
but if we'll listen to the spirit of God, he'll quicken
442
00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:03.310
to us what's happening behind the scenes
443
00:21:03.310 --> 00:21:06.940
and how all these events fit together as we come
444
00:21:06.940 --> 00:21:11.350
to the very wrap up of this current age.
445
00:21:11.350 --> 00:21:15.190
So the question has been asked, How close are we to the end?
446
00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:18.190
Well, today we just got started answering that question,
447
00:21:18.190 --> 00:21:19.870
and we're gonna be back tomorrow
448
00:21:19.870 --> 00:21:22.000
and we're gonna pick up right here.
449
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.730
But I'll be back in just a moment and I wanna pray for you.
450
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.430
Someone has asked the question, Why is it important for me
451
00:21:36.430 --> 00:21:39.040
to participate in the life of the church?
452
00:21:39.040 --> 00:21:40.945
Well, first of all, you are a part
453
00:21:40.945 --> 00:21:44.080
of the church whether you go to church or not.
454
00:21:44.080 --> 00:21:46.120
The mama, you were saved,
455
00:21:46.120 --> 00:21:51.120
you were baptized by the Holy Spirit into the church.
456
00:21:51.130 --> 00:21:54.340
That's what we read in 1 Corinthians 12:12.
457
00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:56.710
So you are a part of the church,
458
00:21:56.710 --> 00:22:01.000
but we're also told in Hebrews 10:
459
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.120
25, that as we approach the end of the age
460
00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:08.080
and things get tough, it becomes even more important
461
00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:12.160
for us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together,
462
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.010
that we need the encouragement of one another.
463
00:22:15.010 --> 00:22:19.210
And you need to also remember that Ephesians 4:16 says
464
00:22:19.210 --> 00:22:20.350
that when we go to church,
465
00:22:20.350 --> 00:22:22.930
every part supplies what is needed.
466
00:22:22.930 --> 00:22:25.750
My part is important, your part is important.
467
00:22:25.750 --> 00:22:29.500
My friends, we don't just go
to church, we are the church.
468
00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:33.580
We need to participate in
the life of the church.
469
00:22:33.580 --> 00:22:35.800
How close are we to the end?
470
00:22:35.800 --> 00:22:39.520
It's a question people have
been asking for 2000 years,
471
00:22:39.520 --> 00:22:42.970
but as Christians, we have access to the answer.
472
00:22:42.970 --> 00:22:44.320
In his new series,
473
00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:46.150

474
00:22:46.150 --> 00:22:49.000

of the End-Times to break
down the signs that we need
476
00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:53.590

502
00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:04.160

How Close Is The End?
What We Need to Know.
505
00:24:10.910 --> 00:24:14.060
And Jesus gave us a lot of
teaching on this subject,
506
00:24:14.060 --> 00:24:16.850
and this new series

that Jesus gave to alert
us that we were very close
513
00:24:32.600 --> 00:24:33.620
to the end of His coming.
514
00:24:33.620 --> 00:24:35.900
My friends, we are almost there,
515
00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:37.400

519
00:24:45.710 --> 00:24:47.420
that have already been fulfilled.
520
00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:50.870
It shows those that are
fulfilled or being fulfilled
521
00:24:50.870 --> 00:24:53.450
and those that are yet to be fulfilled.
522
00:24:53.450 --> 00:24:56.600
And we made this just for you
and we want you to have it
523
00:24:56.600 --> 00:25:00.500
and you can get it and all
these things by going online
524
00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:02.180
or by giving us a call.
525
00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:03.920
My friends, we wanna minister to you
526
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:05.810
and we want to get the wonderful teaching
527
00:25:05.810 --> 00:25:08.270
of God's word into your hands
528
00:25:08.270 --> 00:25:09.560
because we believe where the word
529
00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:11.750
of a king is, there's power.
530
00:25:11.750 --> 00:25:14.480
In fact, put your hand on your
heart. I wanna pray for you.
531
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.480
Father, we thank you for the
power of the Word of God.
532
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.820
We pray that it will
detonate in our lives.
533
00:25:19.820 --> 00:25:22.190
It will demolish the work of the enemy
534
00:25:22.190 --> 00:25:25.700
and really build the kingdom of God in us.
535
00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:27.530
We thank you for this in the wonderful
536
00:25:27.530 --> 00:25:30.530
and the marvelous name of Jesus -
537
00:25:30.530 --> 00:25:34.130
Amen. Well, when we come back tomorrow, we're going to see
538
00:25:34.130 --> 00:25:38.600
what is the most blaring sign
that we are close to the end.
539
00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:41.240
Don't miss tomorrow's program,
540
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:43.580
but my friends also,
please reach out to us
541
00:25:43.580 --> 00:25:45.260
to let us know how to pray for you.

screen or send us your email.
543
00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:51.855

544
00:25:51.855 --> 00:25:55.700
"Where the word of a king is there is power."
545
