00:00:01.170 --> 00:00:03.840
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.890
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:11.160
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.700
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.680
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:19.980
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:21.420
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:25.980
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:28.470
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.582
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:35.910
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:39.600
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.330
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you.
14
00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:44.820
Today we're gonna return to the series,
15
00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:48.210
which is called, How Close Are We To the End?
16
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.820 line:15%
I brought my hourglass again.
17
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:52.590
You know, when I was a
boy, I just loved these
18
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:55.500 line:15%
because I would watch
the passing of the sand
19
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:57.060
as it went from the top to the bottom.
20
00:00:57.060 --> 00:01:00.090 line:15%
And I would think about time,
gee, how long is it gonna take
21
00:01:00.090 --> 00:01:02.910 line:15%
for all that sand to
get down to the bottom?
22
00:01:02.910 --> 00:01:06.750 line:15%
But you know, people are
always fascinated with time
23
00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:10.290 line:15%
and people are asking, how
close are we to the end?
24
00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:12.960
And they've been asking
that for 2000 years.
25
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:14.760
That's why I'm teaching this series.
26
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.670
Jesus gave us signs to let us know
27
00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:19.590 line:15%
how close we are to the end.
28
00:01:19.590 --> 00:01:23.490 line:15%
And the series called, How Close Are We To the End? is a 10-
29
00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:26.460 line:15%
part series, comes with all kinds of formats,
30
00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:28.920 line:15%
and it comes with a great study guide,
31
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.050 line:15%
and there's a wonderful book I want you
32
00:01:31.050 --> 00:01:32.820 line:15%
to have called, Signs
33
00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:36.720 line:15%
You'll See Just Before Jesus Comes; it'd be great for you.
34
00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:39.300 line:15%
It'd be a great gift to
give to somebody else.
35
00:01:39.300 --> 00:01:41.370
And right now, our gift
36
00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:46.290
to you today is a special
Timeline of the End-Times.
37
00:01:46.290 --> 00:01:48.750
It's a chart we've made just for you,
38
00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:52.530 line:15%
and it is beautifully designed
and I want you to have it.
39
00:01:52.530 --> 00:01:54.990
It shows all the past prophecies,
40
00:01:54.990 --> 00:01:57.480
prophecies currently being
fulfilled, those that are
41
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.950
yet to be fulfilled.
42
00:01:58.950 --> 00:02:01.710
And by seeing this
timeline, you can see right
43
00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:03.420 line:15%
where we are in time.
44
00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:07.170 line:15%
All these resources are
available by going online
45
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:08.370
or by giving us a call.
46
00:02:08.370 --> 00:02:09.900 line:15%
And as I always tell you,
47
00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:13.140 line:15%
and I really sincerely mean
it, if you need prayer, call
48
00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:15.750 line:15%
that number and write it down and save it.
49
00:02:15.750 --> 00:02:19.860 line:15%
Save that number so that
if you ever get into a fix
50
00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:22.170 line:15%
and you said to yourself, oh,
I just wish I had somebody
51
00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:24.750 line:15%
to pray with me, there's
the number to call.
52
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:27.960 line:15%
You can call us. We're trustworthy, we are confidential,
53
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.610 line:15%
and we know how to pray.
54
00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.850 line:15%
Maybe you would prefer to send an email; send an email.
55
00:02:32.850 --> 00:02:35.910 line:15%
And whether you write or whether you call, either way,
56
00:02:35.910 --> 00:02:38.610 line:15%
we're really gonna pray for you.
57
00:02:38.610 --> 00:02:41.400 line:15%
But please let us know how to pray.
58
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.400 line:15%
And it's such a privilege
that we can do that with you.
59
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.260
But I want you to reach for your Bible
60
00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:48.960
because we always use the
Bible in this program.
61
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.650 line:15%
And believe with me for 'Revival of the Bible' in the church
62
00:02:52.650 --> 00:02:55.320 line:15%
and for pastors to begin to teach the word
63
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:56.970 line:15%
of God verse by verse.
64
00:02:56.970 --> 00:03:00.040 line:15%
There's nothing like the
verse by verse teaching
65
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.540 line:15%
of the Bible.
66
00:03:01.540 --> 00:03:04.930
But today we're gonna return to Matthew 24:
67
00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:08.920
3, where Jesus is seated on the Mount of Olives.
68
00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:11.680
And in all these programs I've
been showing you a beautiful
69
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.460
view from the Mount of Olives
of the city of Jerusalem.
70
00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:18.280
That's the view which
they had when they were
71
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:19.510
sitting with Jesus.
72
00:03:19.510 --> 00:03:21.610
There they were sitting
on the Mount of Olives,
73
00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:24.190
and behind them was this
beautiful panoramic view
74
00:03:24.190 --> 00:03:25.300
of the Temple Mount.
75
00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:27.460
And we read in Matthew 24:3,
76
00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:30.640
And as he sat up on the Mount
of Olives, the disciples came
77
00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:33.460
to him privately saying -
78
00:03:33.460 --> 00:03:36.550
Tell us when shall these things be?
79
00:03:36.550 --> 00:03:39.250
What things - they were talking about, the end of the age
80
00:03:39.250 --> 00:03:41.830
and things which would occur
at the end of the age. Lord,
81
00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:43.660
when will these things be?
82
00:03:43.660 --> 00:03:47.050
What shall be the sign of thy coming
83
00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:48.760
and of the end of the age?
84
00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:50.980
Well, the King James version
says the end of the world,
85
00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:54.070
but as we've already seen,
the Greek really says the end
86
00:03:54.070 --> 00:03:55.840
of this present age.
87
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.820
That's what they wanted to know.
88
00:03:57.820 --> 00:04:02.200
When is this age going to
end and the next age begin?
89
00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:04.360
The next age is the tribulation.
90
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.480
But when is this current age, which is the last days,
91
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:10.150
it is the church age, it is the age of grace.
92
00:04:10.150 --> 00:04:13.390
How will we know when
we're bumping right up
93
00:04:13.390 --> 00:04:15.340
to the end of it?
94
00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:19.750
And they asked for one sign be
Jesus gave them more than 20.
95
00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:22.300
But in this series, we're just covering 19
96
00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:24.550
because it's all that we have time for.
97
00:04:24.550 --> 00:04:29.080
But here are what we have covered so far. Signs - No.1
98
00:04:29.080 --> 00:04:33.910
16: worldwide deception, wars, rumors
99
00:04:33.910 --> 00:04:38.080 line:15%
of wars, commotions, nation against nation,
100
00:04:38.080 --> 00:04:42.100 line:15%
kingdom against kingdom, famine, scarcity,
101
00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:46.390 line:15%
economic woes, pestilence, diseases,
102
00:04:46.390 --> 00:04:50.710 line:15%
catastrophic events, monstrous developments,
103
00:04:50.710 --> 00:04:54.790 line:15%
signs from the heavens, worldwide persecution
104
00:04:54.790 --> 00:04:57.340 line:15%
and the emergence of false prophets.
105
00:04:57.340 --> 00:05:01.750 line:15%
But today we're going to see signs No.17 and 18.
106
00:05:01.750 --> 00:05:05.200 line:15%
And they are - iniquity will abound
107
00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:09.010 line:15%
and the love of many will wax cold.
108
00:05:09.010 --> 00:05:11.290 line:15%
Now turn in your Bible if you would please
109
00:05:11.290 --> 00:05:15.760 line:15%
to Matthew 24:12, where Jesus said - And
110
00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:20.080 line:15%
because iniquity shall abound.
111
00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:21.910 line:15%
What does the word, iniquity, mean?
112
00:05:21.910 --> 00:05:23.170
What does the word iniquity mean?
113
00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:24.910
Does it just mean sinfulness?
114
00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:28.570
Well, certainly sinfulness
is the result of iniquity.
115
00:05:28.570 --> 00:05:30.790
But let's look at that word iniquity
116
00:05:30.790 --> 00:05:33.580 line:15%
because it is such a very important word.
117
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:37.390 line:15%
It is the Greek word, in English, it is the word iniquity.
118
00:05:38.710 --> 00:05:40.990 line:15%
You say, what in the
world does iniquity mean?
119
00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:45.280 line:15%
Well, it is the Greek word anomia,
120
00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:47.830
anomia. If you're gonna spell that in English,
121
00:05:47.830 --> 00:05:49.720
it would be spelled like this,
122
00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:54.820
but it's actually a compound of two words.
123
00:05:54.820 --> 00:05:56.290
Here you have the word, a
124
00:05:56.290 --> 00:05:59.810
and the word nomia, which is actually from the Greek word
125
00:06:00.710 --> 00:06:04.370 line:15%
nomos, which would be spelled like this.
126
00:06:05.990 --> 00:06:10.160 line:15%
The word nomos means law, law.
127
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.160 line:15%
But when you put an 'a' on the front,
128
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.160 line:15%
it becomes anomos or anomia.
129
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.400 line:15%
It means without law, without law.
130
00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:24.230 line:15%
It pictures of people who
have cast aside the law of God
131
00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:25.700 line:15%
and they say, we've already been
132
00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:26.960 line:15%
there, we've already done that.
133
00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:28.160 line:15%
We don't wanna live that way.
134
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.010 line:15%
We don't wanna walk that
direction any longer.
135
00:06:31.010 --> 00:06:34.880 line:15%
We want to be free from the restraints of God's instructions
136
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:36.320 line:15%
and the teaching of the Bible.
137
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:38.450 line:15%
We don't believe that any longer
138
00:06:38.450 --> 00:06:41.420 line:15%
and we want to forge a brand new path.
139
00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:42.860 line:15%
That's what iniquity is.
140
00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:47.300 line:15%
It is anomia or it is lawlessness.
141
00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:49.040
Now this is very important
for you to understand
142
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.790
because Jesus says, at
the very end of the age,
143
00:06:52.790 --> 00:06:54.170
lawlessness
144
00:06:54.170 --> 00:06:58.550
or a period will emerge when
society at large will begin
145
00:06:58.550 --> 00:07:01.610
to cast off the teachings of God's word
146
00:07:01.610 --> 00:07:03.650
to form their own way.
147
00:07:03.650 --> 00:07:08.390
And I wanna read to you from page 139 in my book -
148
00:07:08.390 --> 00:07:11.240
Signs You'll See Just Before Jesus Comes.
149
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.630
the word iniquity actually
describes lawlessness.
150
00:07:14.630 --> 00:07:18.980
In the Greek text, the
word lawlessness is plural,
151
00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:22.220
which tells us that Jesus
was foretelling a time when
152
00:07:22.220 --> 00:07:26.000
lawlessness would
escalate around the world.
153
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.110
The word lawlessness refers to the actions of an individual,
154
00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:34.010
a group of people or a nation
or even an entire society
155
00:07:34.010 --> 00:07:38.840
or culture that has chosen
to live apart from God's laws
156
00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:40.370
and principles.
157
00:07:40.370 --> 00:07:42.320
Although this person
158
00:07:42.320 --> 00:07:44.990
or group previously followed biblical laws
159
00:07:44.990 --> 00:07:48.050
and principles in general, they elected
160
00:07:48.050 --> 00:07:50.420
to forge their own way of doing things
161
00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:53.450
that are not founded on the
principles of God's word.
162
00:07:53.450 --> 00:07:55.520
Thus they are lawless
163
00:07:55.520 --> 00:07:58.640
or living by their own
newly evolving principles
164
00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:01.070
that are not based on established truths
165
00:08:01.070 --> 00:08:03.200
so vividly portrayed in scripture.
166
00:08:03.200 --> 00:08:04.610
And a collective rejection
167
00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:08.810
of God in his time tested
truths in the last days is
168
00:08:08.810 --> 00:08:12.350
confirmed by Paul in 2 Corinthians 2:3
169
00:08:12.350 --> 00:08:13.791
where he described
170
00:08:13.791 --> 00:08:16.258
a great falling away of people in the last
171
00:08:16.258 --> 00:08:20.150
days. Paul wrote - Let no man deceive you by any means for
172
00:08:20.150 --> 00:08:22.700
that day shall not come except there come a
173
00:08:22.700 --> 00:08:24.260
falling away first
174
00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:27.680
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
175
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.670
In this verse, Paul prophetically described a falling away
176
00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:34.700
that will transpire in society at large,
177
00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:38.540
at the very end of this age. In that hour, the mystery
178
00:08:38.540 --> 00:08:41.150
of iniquity, which has been working
179
00:08:41.150 --> 00:08:45.590
for 2000 years will be unleashed full steam in an attempt
180
00:08:45.590 --> 00:08:49.550
to lead the entire planet into
various forms of deception.
181
00:08:49.550 --> 00:08:53.090
And the words, falling away, in 2 Thessalonians 2:
182
00:08:53.090 --> 00:08:56.850
3, are used in the Greek Old Testament Septuagint
183
00:08:56.850 --> 00:09:00.900
to depict a mass mutiny against authority.
184
00:09:00.900 --> 00:09:04.860
These words describe society revolting against the authority
185
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:08.190
of God himself at the conclusion of the age.
186
00:09:08.190 --> 00:09:11.040
And it's just a fact that both Jesus
187
00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:12.660
and Paul prophesied
188
00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:16.290
that a great falling away
will occur in the last days.
189
00:09:16.290 --> 00:09:17.700
The Bible describes it
190
00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:21.990
as a worldwide rebellion against God in society,
191
00:09:21.990 --> 00:09:25.200
across the planet.
192
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.290
That really is what Jesus meant when he said iniquity
193
00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:29.970
will abound.
194
00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:33.210 line:15%
But what does the word, abound, really mean?
195
00:09:33.210 --> 00:09:34.950 line:15%
Well, let's go to the board.
196
00:09:34.950 --> 00:09:36.510 line:15%
The word a bound is very important.
197
00:09:36.510 --> 00:09:39.000 line:15%
And if you're taking notes,
please write this down
198
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.100 line:15%
and I hope that you're taking notes.
199
00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:43.560 line:15%
The word abound: this is a very,
200
00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:46.950 line:15%
very important word in this context.
201
00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:48.480 line:15%
In Greek, it is the
202
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:53.370 line:15%
word plathuno.
203
00:09:53.370 --> 00:09:55.740 line:15%
Now if you wanna write the
equivalent of that in English,
204
00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:57.480 line:15%
it would be spelled like this,
205
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.650 line:15%
plethuno. The word plethuno means
206
00:10:01.650 --> 00:10:05.700 line:15%
to increase to maximum capacity.
207
00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:07.980 line:15%
So we're not talking about a small problem,
208
00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:10.110 line:15%
we're talking about iniquity
209
00:10:10.110 --> 00:10:13.560 line:15%
or the throwing aside of God's law, choosing
210
00:10:13.560 --> 00:10:14.880 line:15%
that we're no longer gonna walk
211
00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:17.070 line:15%
that direction Now we're
gonna make our own laws.
212
00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:18.870 line:15%
We're gonna go a new direction.
213
00:10:18.870 --> 00:10:22.650 line:15%
This will abound - plethuno: this is going to increase
214
00:10:22.650 --> 00:10:26.280 line:15%
around the planet at the very end of the age
215
00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:29.250 line:15%
to maximum capacity.
216
00:10:29.250 --> 00:10:31.110
My friends, we're seeing this.
217
00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:33.120
We see this in the judicial system.
218
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.050
We see this in education,
we see this in Hollywood.
219
00:10:37.050 --> 00:10:39.270
We see it everywhere around us.
220
00:10:39.270 --> 00:10:41.490
As the world goes woke, my friend,
221
00:10:41.490 --> 00:10:44.850
the only way you can go
woke is if you cast aside
222
00:10:44.850 --> 00:10:46.380
what the Bible says.
223
00:10:46.380 --> 00:10:47.880
That's what wokeism really is.
224
00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:49.980
You're no longer going the
direction of the Bible,
225
00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:52.170
you're gonna make your own new way.
226
00:10:52.170 --> 00:10:54.570
And Jesus says, at the very end of the age,
227
00:10:54.570 --> 00:10:59.010
the globe worldwide will be impacted
228
00:10:59.010 --> 00:11:00.690
by this kind of thinking.
229
00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:04.770
And we are witnessing this
in our time, which is a sign
230
00:11:04.770 --> 00:11:09.090
that we're bumping right up
to the very end of the age.
231
00:11:09.090 --> 00:11:12.690
Wow! But then Jesus adds
232
00:11:12.690 --> 00:11:15.510
in Matthew 24:12,
233
00:11:15.510 --> 00:11:20.510 line:15%
And the love of many shall wax cold:
234
00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:23.520 line:15%
the love of many shall wax cold.
235
00:11:23.520 --> 00:11:26.280
Now we could speculate
about what that means,
236
00:11:26.280 --> 00:11:29.970
but we don't need to because
the Greek makes it so clear.
237
00:11:29.970 --> 00:11:34.970
For example, the word love. What word, love, is this.
238
00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:38.670
The word love that is used in this verse is a form
239
00:11:38.670 --> 00:11:43.260 line:15%
of the Greek word agape - spelled like this
240
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:46.140 line:15%
in English - the word agape
241
00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:49.890 line:15%
only describes the love of God.
242
00:11:49.890 --> 00:11:52.590 line:15%
And therefore this is a love that is resident
243
00:11:52.590 --> 00:11:53.590
among believers.
244
00:11:53.590 --> 00:11:56.410 line:15%
And when Jesus says the love of many shall wax cold,
245
00:11:56.410 --> 00:11:59.410 line:15%
he's talking about the love of Christians: the love
246
00:11:59.410 --> 00:12:00.700 line:15%
of believers.
247
00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:03.940 line:15%
And one reason they're waxing cold is
248
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:05.890 line:15%
because of the effect of iniquity.
249
00:12:05.890 --> 00:12:07.480 line:15%
They're surrounded by sin.
250
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.460 line:15%
They're surrounded by teaching
251
00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:11.170 line:15%
and thinking that is nullifying the
252
00:12:11.170 --> 00:12:12.520 line:15%
teaching of the word of God.
253
00:12:12.520 --> 00:12:15.040 line:15%
It is abounding. They are surrounded by it
254
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:20.040 line:15%
and they become so affected by this new immoral mindset,
255
00:12:20.350 --> 00:12:24.430 line:15%
this new inclusive mindset that is just so wrong biblically,
256
00:12:24.430 --> 00:12:27.670 line:15%
that it begins to affect, agape, the love of God
257
00:12:27.670 --> 00:12:29.440 line:15%
among the brethren.
258
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.560 line:15%
And the Bible says the love of many - there's
259
00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:36.280 line:15%
that word again. The word many, again,
260
00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:38.170 line:15%
the Greek word polloi.
261
00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:40.750 line:15%
And the word polloi,
262
00:12:40.750 --> 00:12:43.000 line:15%
the equivalent in English would be like this.
263
00:12:43.930 --> 00:12:46.240 line:15%
It means vast multitudes.
264
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.850 line:15%
So now we find even the body of Christ is going
265
00:12:48.850 --> 00:12:50.710 line:15%
to be affected in a huge way.
266
00:12:50.710 --> 00:12:54.220 line:15%
Vast multitudes of those who have the love
267
00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:57.490 line:15%
of God - we're talking about the Christian community - will
268
00:12:58.660 --> 00:12:59.860 line:15%
wax cold.
269
00:13:00.760 --> 00:13:01.900 line:15%
Wax cold.
270
00:13:01.900 --> 00:13:06.220 line:15%
What in the world does that mean: the Greek word psucho.
271
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.160 line:15%
It would be spelled like this.
272
00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:11.809 line:15%
The word psucho means,
273
00:13:11.809 --> 00:13:13.901 line:15%
and I'm gonna read to you from my notes
274
00:13:13.901 --> 00:13:15.700
because this is so very important.
275
00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:19.870
This word, wax cold, psucho, describes something
276
00:13:19.870 --> 00:13:24.730 line:15%
that is cold or more explicitly a breeze
277
00:13:24.730 --> 00:13:27.610 line:15%
that cools or freezes.
278
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:31.720
And it means there's going to
be a cold breeze that blows
279
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.020
through the church that
is going to cause people
280
00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:39.610
to turn cold spiritually
at the very end of the age.
281
00:13:39.610 --> 00:13:41.680
And we see the effects of this today.
282
00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:45.160
People who don't go to church
as they once did: people
283
00:13:45.160 --> 00:13:48.310
who are not as on fire for
the Lord as they used to be:
284
00:13:48.310 --> 00:13:51.160
people that are compromising
what they used to believe.
285
00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:54.160
Now they're adapting new mindsets, becoming more inclusive,
286
00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:55.660
more open-minded.
287
00:13:55.660 --> 00:13:57.250
My friends, it's good to be open-minded,
288
00:13:57.250 --> 00:13:58.510
but don't be so open-minded
289
00:13:58.510 --> 00:14:00.250
your brain falls out.
290
00:14:00.250 --> 00:14:02.830
We need to remain established
in the word of God.
291
00:14:02.830 --> 00:14:04.870
That's why you need to get my book called, How
292
00:14:04.870 --> 00:14:07.060
to Keep Your Head on Straight in a World Gone Crazy.
293
00:14:07.060 --> 00:14:09.220
That's what that book is about.
294
00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:10.990
But Jesus says, at the
very end of the age,
295
00:14:10.990 --> 00:14:13.090
iniquity will abound
296
00:14:13.090 --> 00:14:17.320
and a cold breeze is gonna blow through the church,
297
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.470
which is going to cause the
temperature of many believers
298
00:14:20.470 --> 00:14:22.210
and there agape love,
299
00:14:22.210 --> 00:14:26.140
to really cool down at the end of the age.
300
00:14:27.010 --> 00:14:31.510
But then when we come to Matthew 12:13,
301
00:14:31.510 --> 00:14:32.770
Jesus adds,
302
00:14:32.770 --> 00:14:37.450 line:15%
But he that shall endure unto the end,
303
00:14:38.290 --> 00:14:41.350 line:15%
the same shall be saved.
304
00:14:41.350 --> 00:14:44.920 line:15%
Are you enduring? Do you
know what it means to endure?
305
00:14:44.920 --> 00:14:47.350
Well, let's see what it means to endure.
306
00:14:47.350 --> 00:14:49.150
The word endure is one
307
00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:52.310 line:15%
of the most important
words in the Testament.
308
00:14:52.310 --> 00:14:54.620 line:15%
It appears again and again and again.
309
00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:57.680 line:15%
And here as always, it is a form
310
00:14:57.680 --> 00:15:00.965 line:15%
of the Greek word hupomeno.
311
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.790 line:15%
In English, it would be spelled like this.
312
00:15:06.950 --> 00:15:11.660 line:15%
It's a compound of two words: the word hupo, which means
313
00:15:11.660 --> 00:15:15.260 line:15%
to be under as if to be under a very heavy load:
314
00:15:15.260 --> 00:15:19.910 line:15%
the word meno, which means: I stay, I abide,
315
00:15:19.910 --> 00:15:21.230 line:15%
this is my spot.
316
00:15:21.230 --> 00:15:25.520 line:15%
But when you compound the two
words together, it is a person
317
00:15:25.520 --> 00:15:28.040 line:15%
who says - meno, this is my spot,
318
00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:31.940 line:15%
I'm not moving, I am not surrendering. Hupo.
319
00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:35.600 line:15%
I don't care how heavy the load gets or how hard it is,
320
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.500
meno, I've resolved, I'm not budging, I'm not moving.
321
00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:41.300 line:15%
And this word is so very important.
322
00:15:41.300 --> 00:15:43.280 line:15%
I wanna read to you from my notes.
323
00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:47.930 line:15%
This word endure means to remain in one spot.
324
00:15:47.930 --> 00:15:50.870
So when Jesus says he that endures to the end, it means he
325
00:15:50.870 --> 00:15:53.810 line:15%
who remains in this place that he knows
326
00:15:53.810 --> 00:15:55.760 line:15%
that is right to the end.
327
00:15:55.760 --> 00:15:57.290 line:15%
It means to keep a position.
328
00:15:57.290 --> 00:15:59.870 line:15%
He that keeps a position to resolve,
329
00:15:59.870 --> 00:16:03.590 line:15%
to maintain territory gained. In a military sense,
330
00:16:03.590 --> 00:16:05.480 line:15%
it pictured soldiers ordered
331
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.500 line:15%
to maintain their positions even in the face
332
00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:11.270 line:15%
of opposition.
333
00:16:11.270 --> 00:16:14.540 line:15%
It means to defiantly stick it out regardless
334
00:16:14.540 --> 00:16:16.625 line:15%
of pressures mounted against it.
335
00:16:16.625 --> 00:16:19.820 line:15%
It is staying power, hang in their power,
336
00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:23.600 line:15%
or listen to this: it is the attitude
337
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.060 line:15%
that holds out, holds on, outlast,
338
00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:30.440 line:15%
perseveres, hangs in there never giving up, refusing
339
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.120 line:15%
to surrender to obstacles
340
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:36.830 line:15%
and turning down every opportunity to quit. It
341
00:16:36.830 --> 00:16:39.410 line:15%
pictures one who is under a heavy load
342
00:16:39.410 --> 00:16:42.020 line:15%
but refuses to bend, break or surrender
343
00:16:42.020 --> 00:16:45.470 line:15%
because he's convinced
that the territory promise
344
00:16:45.470 --> 00:16:49.100 line:15%
or principle under assault
rightly belongs to him.
345
00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:53.570 line:15%
And now we find that for us
to endure to the end. For us
346
00:16:53.570 --> 00:16:54.710
to remain on fire
347
00:16:54.710 --> 00:16:56.660
and on track with the Lord, we've got
348
00:16:56.660 --> 00:16:59.030
to determine we are just not gonna move.
349
00:16:59.030 --> 00:17:02.420
It is a matter how much pressure we feel from society
350
00:17:02.420 --> 00:17:03.590
coming against us,
351
00:17:03.590 --> 00:17:05.030
we have resolved - here it
352
00:17:05.030 --> 00:17:08.540
is - that we're gonna hang in there, we're gonna hold out,
353
00:17:08.540 --> 00:17:12.410
hold on, outlast,
persevere, never giving up
354
00:17:12.410 --> 00:17:15.620
and refuse to surrender to obstacles and turn down
355
00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:20.620
every opportunity to quit. The world around us may change,
356
00:17:20.690 --> 00:17:23.060
but when it comes to the truth of God's word,
357
00:17:23.060 --> 00:17:26.030
we are not budging.
358
00:17:26.030 --> 00:17:29.150
That is what the word endure means.
359
00:17:29.150 --> 00:17:32.300
But the whole verse says Matthew 24:13, He
360
00:17:32.300 --> 00:17:35.450 line:15%
that shall endure unto the end.
361
00:17:35.450 --> 00:17:38.870 line:15%
The word, end, is also very important.
362
00:17:39.770 --> 00:17:44.770 line:15%
It is the Greek word telos: spelled like this in English.
363
00:17:44.810 --> 00:17:47.840 line:15%
It means the consummation or the very conclusion.
364
00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:51.150 line:15%
And remember, that is the question that the disciples ask.
365
00:17:51.150 --> 00:17:53.850 line:15%
Lord, how will we know when we've come to the consummation
366
00:17:53.850 --> 00:17:56.100 line:15%
of the age, to the culmination of the age,
367
00:17:56.100 --> 00:17:57.480
to the close of the age.
368
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.220
And now Jesus is referring to that: He that endures
369
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:04.980 line:15%
to the very, very end of the age,
370
00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:08.850 line:15%
the same shall be saved.
371
00:18:08.850 --> 00:18:12.420 line:15%
And the word saved is a form of the Greek word sodzo,
372
00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:15.450
the most important word in the New Testament for salvation.
373
00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:18.300
But it's much, much more
than just going to Heaven.
374
00:18:18.300 --> 00:18:23.300 line:15%
This word sodzo here translated, saved, conveys the idea
375
00:18:23.340 --> 00:18:25.230 line:15%
of a wholeness or salvation
376
00:18:25.230 --> 00:18:28.290 line:15%
or wholeness in every part of life.
377
00:18:28.290 --> 00:18:30.270 line:15%
It is a touch of deliverance
378
00:18:30.270 --> 00:18:33.000 line:15%
or salvation that brings delivering
379
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.150 line:15%
and healing power that
results in wholeness.
380
00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:39.540 line:15%
It even means to deliver
one's country from enemies
381
00:18:39.540 --> 00:18:44.540 line:15%
to protect, to keep safe and
to keep under protection.
382
00:18:44.730 --> 00:18:48.960
And my friends now, we find
that when we make the decision
383
00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.440
to stay put, even if the
world around us changes,
384
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:54.300
if they call us fuddy duddies,
385
00:18:54.300 --> 00:18:57.030
if they call us dinosaurs
from the past, that's okay.
386
00:18:57.030 --> 00:18:58.890
They can call us whatever they wish.
387
00:18:58.890 --> 00:19:02.490
Christians have always been called names
388
00:19:02.490 --> 00:19:05.520
and Jesus says that the end
of the age, it's gonna get
389
00:19:05.520 --> 00:19:10.440
so intense from society that
has become a place abounding
390
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.850 line:15%
to the maximum with iniquity, lawlessness,
391
00:19:14.850 --> 00:19:19.290 line:15%
many will wax cold as a cold
breeze blows to the church
392
00:19:19.290 --> 00:19:21.390 line:15%
that affects agape, the love
393
00:19:21.390 --> 00:19:23.430 line:15%
that should be burning hot among them.
394
00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:28.980
But those who endure, those
who say, I'm not gonna wander.
395
00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:31.980
I'm not gonna move. I'm
gonna stand on the Bible.
396
00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:34.680
I'm not moving from what
the scripture teaches.
397
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.170
I'm gonna maintain this territory.
398
00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:40.800
I'm gonna hold on, hold out,
persevere, never give up,
399
00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:44.880
never budge, locked into truth.
400
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.850
Jesus said, they'll be
saved, you will be delivered.
401
00:19:47.850 --> 00:19:51.960
You will be saved. You'll
experience God's power.
402
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:53.790
That's really what it means.
403
00:19:54.750 --> 00:19:57.930
So now we see that Jesus
said, are you ready for this?
404
00:19:57.930 --> 00:20:00.960
Here we go again. He said, and
405
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.830
because iniquity shall abound, the love
406
00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:07.620
of many shall wax cold.
407
00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:09.150
But Matthew 24:13,
408
00:20:09.150 --> 00:20:11.760
But he that endures to the end
409
00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:17.160 line:15%
the same, that one, the
one that endures, the one
410
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:20.280 line:15%
who refuses to move, he shall be saved
411
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:25.170 line:15%
or he will experience God's power in all
412
00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:26.700 line:15%
of its dimensions.
413
00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:28.320 line:15%
That's really what Jesus taught
414
00:20:28.320 --> 00:20:30.720 line:15%
and that's a message we need to understand
415
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:32.430 line:15%
because we're the ones
416
00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:35.640 line:15%
that are living right
at the end of the age.
417
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.620 line:15%
We have covered a lot today,
418
00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:39.930
but I'll be back in just
a moment and I want to
419
00:20:39.930 --> 00:20:41.250
pray for you.
420
00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:43.440
How close are we to the end?
421
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:47.170
It's a question people have
been asking for 2000 years,
422
00:20:47.170 --> 00:20:50.620
but as Christians, we have access to the answer.
423
00:20:50.620 --> 00:20:51.970

450
00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:03.250
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
451
00:22:03.250 --> 00:22:06.460
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
452
00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:09.340
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters
453
00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:12.490
and this building is just so wonderful.
454
00:22:12.490 --> 00:22:17.260
You know the Bible tells us in Proverbs 10:21, the lips
455
00:22:17.260 --> 00:22:20.230
of the righteous feed many.
456
00:22:20.230 --> 00:22:22.810
And I know that is our assignment.
457
00:22:22.810 --> 00:22:27.100
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
458
00:22:27.100 --> 00:22:28.600
of the Bible.
459
00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:31.090
And together with you
and all of our partners,
460
00:22:31.090 --> 00:22:34.990
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the word of God
461
00:22:34.990 --> 00:22:37.720
to the very ends of the earth.
462
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.800
Right now, we've paid off
about 82% of this facility
463
00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:44.140
and that is just wonderful.
464
00:22:44.140 --> 00:22:46.120
But now we need to knock
it out of the ballpark.
465
00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:47.680
We need to finish this
466
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.590 line:15%
because when we're finished
paying off this facility
467
00:22:50.590 --> 00:22:52.905 line:15%
that frees up finances
468
00:22:52.905 --> 00:22:54.910 line:15%
so we can take the teaching of the Bible
469
00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:58.090 line:15%
to more places across
the face of the earth
470
00:22:58.090 --> 00:23:00.910 line:15%
where people are crying out for someone
471
00:23:00.910 --> 00:23:02.950 line:15%
to feed them the word of God.
472
00:23:02.950 --> 00:23:05.260 line:15%
And my friends, we can
only do it with your help.
473
00:23:05.260 --> 00:23:08.410 line:15%
So thank you if you're
already a part of the team,
474
00:23:08.410 --> 00:23:11.950 line:15%
and if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
475
00:23:11.950 --> 00:23:14.110 line:15%
of the giving team to
pay off this facility
476
00:23:14.110 --> 00:23:16.030 line:15%
so we can be finished with it
477
00:23:16.030 --> 00:23:18.850 line:15%
and use these funds to
take the gospel further
478
00:23:18.850 --> 00:23:21.250 line:15%
to other places across the world.
479
00:23:31.090 --> 00:23:33.340
We have covered so much in today's program
480
00:23:33.340 --> 00:23:36.640 line:15%
and tomorrow is the last in this series,
481
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.090 line:15%
which is called, How Close Are We To the End?
482
00:23:40.090 --> 00:23:43.210 line:15%
What Jesus had to say
is so relevant for us
483
00:23:43.210 --> 00:23:44.470 line:15%
because we are the ones
484
00:23:44.470 --> 00:23:47.060 line:15%
that are right into the end of the age.
485
00:23:47.060 --> 00:23:48.650 line:15%
We need to know what we're going to see
486
00:23:48.650 --> 00:23:51.350 line:15%
and what we're going to experience as we come to the end
487
00:23:51.350 --> 00:23:54.230 line:15%
of the age and wait for
the rapture of the church.
488
00:23:54.230 --> 00:23:56.390 line:15%
Oh, that is so glorious, my friends.
489
00:23:56.390 --> 00:24:01.100 line:15%
We are very near to the coming
of Jesus for the Church.
490
00:24:01.100 --> 00:24:04.850 line:15%
But this series is called, How Close Are We To the End?
491
00:24:04.850 --> 00:24:08.330 line:15%
It is a 10-part series which comes with a study guide
492
00:24:08.330 --> 00:24:11.150 line:15%
and oh my friend, I'm so excited about my book.
493
00:24:11.150 --> 00:24:14.030 line:15%
I'm really excited about it called, Signs
494
00:24:14.030 --> 00:24:17.120 line:15%
Signs You'll See Just Before Jesus Comes. In this book,
495
00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:20.150 line:15%
