00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.810
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:07.770
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.770 --> 00:00:09.060
Hey, this is Rick Renner.
4
00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:10.200
It's the top of the week
5
00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:12.390
and I'm so excited that
today we can return
6
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:16.320 line:15%
to the series called A
Prophetic View of the Future.
7
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.590 line:15%
I've invited 5 of my friends to be
8
00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:22.110 line:15%
with me one at a time every day this week.
9
00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.630 line:15%
And today we're going to begin with Alan Didio
10
00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:26.820 line:15%
and we're gonna be focusing on his book,
11
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:30.030 line:15%
which is called - They Lied
to You about The Rapture.
12
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.250 line:15%
Now, Alan was here last week,
13
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.320 line:15%
but it was so good I
decided for him to come
14
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.120 line:15%
and join us again this week,
15
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:40.290 line:15%
and he's going to give us his
prophetic view of the future.
16
00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:43.590 line:15%
Alan's voice is a voice
that I really respect,
17
00:00:43.590 --> 00:00:45.870 line:15%
and I want you to hear what he has to say.
18
00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:49.200 line:15%
And today's program is
just gonna be so rich,
19
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.510 line:15%
but you can find out
about all of these things,
20
00:00:51.510 --> 00:00:55.890 line:15%
which we have available by
simply going to our website
21
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:57.720 line:15%
or by giving us a call.
22
00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:00.480
But right now, let's get started with me
23
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.450
and my friend Alan Didio.
24
00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:06.660 line:15%
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
25
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:10.260
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
26
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:12.180
uncertain times
27
00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:15.480
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
28
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:16.920
We keep it simple,
29
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.480 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
30
00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:24.270 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
31
00:01:25.380 --> 00:01:27.540
and a mission that touches the world.
32
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:31.380
Let's join Rick Renner.
33
00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:35.220
Hey friends, this is me.
34
00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:39.180
And as I told you today, I'm
with my friend Alan Didio,
35
00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:42.030
and actually last week and
this week I'm with several
36
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.510
of my friends: Joseph Z, Mike Signorelli, Fred Price Jr,
37
00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:48.270
Todd Coconata, and Alan Didio.
38
00:01:48.270 --> 00:01:50.760 line:15%
And Alan, I wanna say
welcome back to my program.
39
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:52.230 line:15%
Wow, thank you. What a lineup.
40
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:54.840 line:15%
Right here on Rick Renner's
program. It's amazing.
41
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.060 line:15%
I'm gonna be watching every episode.
42
00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:00.270 line:15%
That's an amazing group
of guys that I refer to
43
00:02:00.270 --> 00:02:02.130 line:15%
as the Sons of Issachar
44
00:02:02.130 --> 00:02:04.080 line:15%
because they all have a grip on what's
45
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:05.220 line:15%
happening in the future.
46
00:02:05.220 --> 00:02:07.770 line:15%
And I really listen to them
and I really respect them.
47
00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:09.390 line:15%
And that includes you.
48
00:02:09.390 --> 00:02:10.710 line:15%
But you know, Alan, just
49
00:02:10.710 --> 00:02:12.510 line:15%
before we begin filming,
50
00:02:12.510 --> 00:02:15.780 line:15%
we were talking about the importance of bringing teaching
51
00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:19.800 line:15%
that people can trust; people
really want reliable teaching,
52
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.320
and that's why I wanted
you to be on my show.
53
00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:24.720 line:15%
I read your book, which is called - They Lied
54
00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:28.170 line:15%
to You About the Rapture: How
to prepare for What's Coming.
55
00:02:28.170 --> 00:02:30.570 line:15%
And as I read this book,
of course the Forward
56
00:02:30.570 --> 00:02:31.980 line:15%
by Jimmy Evans, who is my friend,
57
00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:33.870 line:15%
and Perry Stone, who is my friend.
58
00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:35.490 line:15%
But when I read this
book, I thought, you know,
59
00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:38.910 line:15%
this just lays it all out for the reader.
60
00:02:38.910 --> 00:02:41.820 line:15%
It explains what the Bible
teaches about the rapture,
61
00:02:41.820 --> 00:02:45.330 line:15%
what the Bible does not teach
about the rapture you very
62
00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:48.540 line:15%
clearly cover when the
rapture's gonna take place,
63
00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:50.730
what's gonna happen after the rapture.
64
00:02:50.730 --> 00:02:52.680
It is just an amazing book.
65
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.660
And I wanna say thank you for writing it.
66
00:02:54.660 --> 00:02:57.660
It's really been a blessing to
me. And I have to be honest.
67
00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:01.030
When I wrote my book on The Rapture of the Antichrist
68
00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:03.160
and the Tribulation, I came here
69
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:05.440
to verify a few things
that I wanted to teach.
70
00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:07.810
That's how good this book is.
71
00:03:07.810 --> 00:03:10.690 line:15%
But tell me if you would, Alan,
72
00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:12.820 line:15%
what is the timeline in front of us?
73
00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:16.420 line:15%
What is next to happen and
then what happens after that?
74
00:03:16.420 --> 00:03:18.045 line:15%
Well, it's an exciting time to be alive
75
00:03:18.045 --> 00:03:19.150 line:15%
and and thank you so much.
76
00:03:19.150 --> 00:03:20.920 line:15%
We, I feel the same about your teachings,
77
00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:22.780 line:15%
truly teachings that we can trust.
78
00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:25.210 line:15%
When I wanna know what the
Bible teaches about a subject,
79
00:03:25.210 --> 00:03:26.980 line:15%
I'm going to Rick Renner's Ministry
80
00:03:26.980 --> 00:03:28.480 line:15%
to find out. But I've just been
81
00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:30.790 line:15%
Well thank you - So excited about this subject matter
82
00:03:30.790 --> 00:03:33.490 line:15%
because he saved the best for last.
83
00:03:33.490 --> 00:03:34.900
And here we are. I believe
84
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:36.790
we're not just in the last days,
85
00:03:36.790 --> 00:03:38.830
we're in the End-Times
as far as I'm concerned.
86
00:03:38.830 --> 00:03:40.690
And those are two different phrases.
87
00:03:40.690 --> 00:03:42.670
The last days, of course, theologically
88
00:03:42.670 --> 00:03:46.090
or biblically refers to
the time from Pentecost
89
00:03:46.090 --> 00:03:47.800
until the time of the return of Jesus.
90
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.460
Those are the last days. However the End-Times are the last
91
00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:52.870
of the last days.
92
00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:54.400
And I believe that's where we are.
93
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.050
And so on God's timeline,
94
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:59.710
I believe the next event on God's prophetic calendar is the
95
00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:01.060
rapture of the church.
96
00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:02.680
And we don't know when
that's going to happen.
97
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.120
We know that it's imminent.
98
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.800
We discussed that in the last program
99
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.570
because it could happen at any moment.
100
00:04:07.570 --> 00:04:09.820
Now imminence doesn't mean soon,
101
00:04:09.820 --> 00:04:11.470
it just means at any moment.
102
00:04:11.470 --> 00:04:13.390
And so we have to be prepared for now.
103
00:04:13.390 --> 00:04:16.060
We have to be prepared
to wait if it's not now.
104
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:17.080
But at the same time,
105
00:04:17.080 --> 00:04:21.280
after the rapture of the church is coming this peace treaty
106
00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:22.690
with this global figure
107
00:04:22.690 --> 00:04:24.970
that you've written extensively about in your book,
108
00:04:24.970 --> 00:04:28.570
who is going to be the anti-Christ, the embodiment
109
00:04:28.570 --> 00:04:30.730
of this satanic personality,
110
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:33.700
anti-Christ means not just against,
111
00:04:33.700 --> 00:04:35.890
but in the place of. So
112
00:04:35.890 --> 00:04:38.590
after the rapture, there's gonna be the rise of this figure
113
00:04:38.590 --> 00:04:43.030
who is going to attempt to
take the place of Jesus Christ
114
00:04:43.030 --> 00:04:46.720
and the whole wide world
is going to be deceived.
115
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.590
And of course, at the end of that, Jesus' returning with all
116
00:04:50.590 --> 00:04:53.350
of his saints to establish
his kingdom on the earth;
117
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:56.080
we have the thousand year
millennial reign of Christ.
118
00:04:56.080 --> 00:04:59.890
And then we have the rebellion
of Satan one more time,
119
00:04:59.890 --> 00:05:02.020
and then the eternal
state with God Almighty
120
00:05:02.020 --> 00:05:03.790
after the great white judgment seat.
121
00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:06.280
So there's a lot of events
that are gonna take place
122
00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:07.630
that we can dive into.
123
00:05:07.630 --> 00:05:09.340
But we're on the edge, we're on the cusp.
124
00:05:09.340 --> 00:05:12.580
Everybody is looking for
the tribulation to begin.
125
00:05:12.580 --> 00:05:14.410
And there's some really
126
00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:15.730
significant reasons why they are.
127
00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:19.180 line:15%
You know, there's gonna
be dual things happening,
128
00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:20.650 line:15%
there's gonna be something
happening in heaven,
129
00:05:20.650 --> 00:05:23.830 line:15%
something happening on earth during those 7-years.
130
00:05:23.830 --> 00:05:26.920 line:15%
And Paul tells us that when the church is evacuated,
131
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.130 line:15%
I believe the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2
132
00:05:30.130 --> 00:05:31.750
refers to the church.
133
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:32.860 line:15%
Some people say it's the Holy
134
00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:34.540
Spirit, but that can't be true.
135
00:05:34.540 --> 00:05:36.160
The Holy Spirit will
always be in the earth
136
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.560
because people are gonna get
saved during the tribulation.
137
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.780
And you can't be saved
without the Holy Spirit.
138
00:05:40.780 --> 00:05:42.970
But the church is gonna be removed.
139
00:05:42.970 --> 00:05:44.620
And really we are the restrainer.
140
00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:47.200
Just think if there was no church:
141
00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:48.820
if suddenly the church was gone
142
00:05:48.820 --> 00:05:51.460
and evil could just do
whatever it wanted to do,
143
00:05:51.460 --> 00:05:53.290
that's what's going to happen.
144
00:05:53.290 --> 00:05:57.290 line:15%
And in 2 Thessalonians 2:7, Paul says
145
00:05:57.290 --> 00:06:00.440 line:15%
when the restrainer is removed, verse 8, then
146
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:02.540 line:15%
that wicked one shall be revealed.
147
00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:05.630 line:15%
And the Greek means then at
that very precise moment,
148
00:06:05.630 --> 00:06:08.180 line:15%
the wicked one - in Greek it has a definite article.
149
00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:09.500 line:15%
This is not just somebody evil,
150
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:13.280
it is the wicked one will be revealed.
151
00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:15.860 line:15%
And the word revealed is the word apokalupto, which means
152
00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:19.610 line:15%
to pull the veil back,
which means - when the rapture
153
00:06:19.610 --> 00:06:23.390 line:15%
of the church takes place,
whoever the antichrist is,
154
00:06:23.390 --> 00:06:27.620
he will already be center
stage, he will be positioned,
155
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:31.400
but no one will know him
until the church is removed.
156
00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:33.320
And then at that synchronized moment,
157
00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:37.310
the curtain will pull back
and he will become visible.
158
00:06:37.310 --> 00:06:39.320
But the world won't think
of him as the antichrist.
159
00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:41.420
They'll look at him as a great savior.
160
00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.130
But you know, Alan, when I was growing up,
161
00:06:43.130 --> 00:06:45.770
and I'm sure even in the time
when you were growing up,
162
00:06:45.770 --> 00:06:47.840
everybody was trying to
guess who is the antichrist.
163
00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:51.680
I can remember when people
thought it was Gorbachev,
164
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.120
Anwar Sadat:
165
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.010
oh, Henry Kissinger was a big one.
166
00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:57.290
And the list goes on and on and on and on.
167
00:06:57.290 --> 00:06:59.360
But if you really understand 2 Thessalonians,
168
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.750
we are not gonna know the
identity of the antichrist
169
00:07:02.750 --> 00:07:04.310
until the church is gone.
170
00:07:04.310 --> 00:07:07.130
And that's when that
curtain's gonna be pulled back
171
00:07:07.130 --> 00:07:08.780
and he will step forward.
172
00:07:08.780 --> 00:07:11.240
We might make some pretty good guesses,
173
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.530
but that's all it is.
174
00:07:12.530 --> 00:07:15.320
We can just guess. And
it's kind of a mute point
175
00:07:15.320 --> 00:07:16.700
because if you're really born again
176
00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:18.380 line:15%
and you're part of the church,
177
00:07:18.380 --> 00:07:20.840 line:15%
you won't be here when he's revealed. Amen.
178
00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:24.140 line:15%
Amen. And there is biblically a preserving agent,
179
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:27.290 line:15%
an element that is used to preserve and to hold back decay,
180
00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:30.470 line:15%
and it's called salt in scripture. And guess what
181
00:07:30.470 --> 00:07:34.730 line:15%
Jesus calls his church? We are the salt of the earth.
182
00:07:34.730 --> 00:07:37.850 line:15%
We're holding back the decay,
we're preserving things.
183
00:07:37.850 --> 00:07:40.550
And once we're removed,
that's when the decay,
184
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:42.530
that's when the sin is
released in the earth.
185
00:07:42.530 --> 00:07:45.890
So what would a Holy Spirit
filled believer do when faced
186
00:07:45.890 --> 00:07:48.470
with someone, possessed with
a spirit like the antichrist?
187
00:07:48.470 --> 00:07:50.150
Cast it out.
188
00:07:50.150 --> 00:07:53.720
So there's no way that the
church can be here in order
189
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.250
for the antichrist to take his place.
190
00:07:55.250 --> 00:07:58.550
But you're exactly right. Lot
is a perfect example of this.
191
00:07:58.550 --> 00:08:01.370
The wrath of God could not
be poured out when Lot was
192
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:02.480
still in that city.
193
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.150
He had to be evacuated
194
00:08:05.150 --> 00:08:07.460
because God will not pour
his wrath out on people.
195
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:08.930
He's got a special covenant
196
00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:11.270
with particularly the body of Christ.
197
00:08:11.270 --> 00:08:12.860
We are his body.
198
00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:16.310
The wrath of God was already poured out on the body of Jesus
199
00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:19.220
to subject the church to that outpouring of wrath,
200
00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:21.830
and the reign of the antichrist would be the equivalent
201
00:08:21.830 --> 00:08:24.770
of crucifying Jesus a 2nd time, which is why he has
202
00:08:24.770 --> 00:08:27.200 line:15%
to remove us before that can happen.
203
00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:28.880 line:15%
Well, before we talk about the tribulation
204
00:08:28.880 --> 00:08:30.200 line:15%
and the wrath, let's talk about what's
205
00:08:30.200 --> 00:08:31.730
gonna happen in Heaven.
206
00:08:31.730 --> 00:08:33.920
So when the church is translated to heaven,
207
00:08:33.920 --> 00:08:36.560
just like Enoch was translated, just like Jesus was
208
00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:39.320
translated, there have been many raptures in the scripture.
209
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.530
But when the church as a
whole is abducted by Jesus,
210
00:08:42.530 --> 00:08:44.240
we're caught up into
the air to meet the Lord
211
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.010
and we're translated to Heaven,
212
00:08:46.010 --> 00:08:47.660
there's gonna be two main events.
213
00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:49.790
We're gonna be seated at the table
214
00:08:49.790 --> 00:08:51.320
and for seven years we're gonna have the
215
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.880
marriage supper of the lamb.
216
00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:57.030 line:15%
And one by one, almost
like a PA system in heaven,
217
00:08:57.030 --> 00:08:58.440 line:15%
we're gonna hear our names called.
218
00:08:59.370 --> 00:09:01.830 line:15%
And we're gonna be called to
the judgment seat of Christ,
219
00:09:01.830 --> 00:09:04.740 line:15%
which is not a place where
we're gonna be beaten
220
00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:07.110 line:15%
and bashed and condemned;
221
00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:09.990
Jesus is not gonna drag up
sins that are under the blood.
222
00:09:09.990 --> 00:09:13.320
Once they're under the blood,
they stay under the blood.
223
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.660
Amen. But he is gonna deal
224
00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:18.720
with us about our level of obedience.
225
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.310
And it really means that the period
226
00:09:20.310 --> 00:09:22.110
of life we are living right now on earth,
227
00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:24.630
it is a prequalification period for
228
00:09:24.630 --> 00:09:28.530
what we're gonna do in the future because the future's big.
229
00:09:28.530 --> 00:09:30.840
And when we come before the judgment seat of Christ,
230
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.510
that's when our future assignments are gonna be
231
00:09:33.510 --> 00:09:34.860
revealed to us.
232
00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:37.470
And Jesus is gonna be so intimate
233
00:09:37.470 --> 00:09:40.800
with every single person
he calls before him.
234
00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:44.880
It's gonna take him seven
years to go through the list.
235
00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:46.740
I think that is just amazing.
236
00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:50.370
But while all that's happening in heaven, Alan,
237
00:09:50.370 --> 00:09:52.500 line:15%
what's gonna be happening on the earth?
238
00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.440 line:15%
Well, while the church is being judged in heaven,
239
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.150 line:15%
the world is being judged on the earth.
240
00:09:57.150 --> 00:09:59.040 line:15%
And this is where I think there's a fundamental
241
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:00.690 line:15%
misunderstanding about the tribulation,
242
00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:03.870 line:15%
which is why people confuse when the rapture can take place
243
00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:06.540
'cause they don't understand the purpose of the tribulation.
244
00:10:06.540 --> 00:10:09.000
The purpose of the tribulation AS some have said is
245
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.420
to wake up Israel and shake up the earth.
246
00:10:12.420 --> 00:10:14.640
There is nothing to do with
the church during this age.
247
00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:16.650
In fact, in the Book of Revelation,
248
00:10:16.650 --> 00:10:21.150
the church is mentioned 19 times in the first 3 chapters
249
00:10:21.150 --> 00:10:22.410
of the Book of Revelation.
250
00:10:22.410 --> 00:10:23.850
And then all of a sudden it disappears.
251
00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:25.350
And it's not mentioned again until we get
252
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:26.760
to the end of the book.
253
00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:30.930
And all of a sudden it takes
a very Israel-Jewish focus
254
00:10:30.930 --> 00:10:33.090
as we see in the beginning of Matthew 24:
255
00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:34.530
he's talking about pray.
256
00:10:34.530 --> 00:10:35.640
It's not on Sabbath.
257
00:10:35.640 --> 00:10:37.470
And he and he is talking
about things that are,
258
00:10:37.470 --> 00:10:39.240
that are central to the Jewish community.
259
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.090
There are two Jewish
prophets that are released,
260
00:10:42.090 --> 00:10:44.550
144,000 Jewish evangelists.
261
00:10:44.550 --> 00:10:46.800
So the focus then comes on Israel
262
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:48.270
and fulfilling his promise,
263
00:10:48.270 --> 00:10:52.890
Daniel's 70th week fulfilling
his promise to wake them up,
264
00:10:52.890 --> 00:10:55.230
to bring judgment and to
bring them back to him.
265
00:10:55.230 --> 00:10:57.060
So that's what the
tribulation is all about.
266
00:10:57.060 --> 00:11:01.620
And it is the unfettered,
unrestrained wrath of God
267
00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:02.820
that is being poured out on the earth.
268
00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:06.270
It is not the wrath of man,
it is not the wrath of Satan,
269
00:11:06.270 --> 00:11:07.710
it is the wrath of God.
270
00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:12.000
In fact, in Revelation 6, we see that it is Jesus
271
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.460
in fact, in 5 and 6, it is Jesus
272
00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:17.490
who is breaking the seals of the 4 horsemen
273
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:19.530
and releasing these things on the earth.
274
00:11:19.530 --> 00:11:21.750
So it is the direct wrath of God.
275
00:11:21.750 --> 00:11:22.890
And the good news is you
276
00:11:22.890 --> 00:11:24.450 line:15%
and I have not been
appointed to that wrath.
277
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:26.640 line:15%
Now some people say, well,
278
00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:28.860 line:15%
why would God take his church out
279
00:11:28.860 --> 00:11:31.260 line:15%
before hard times: people have always
280
00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:32.670
been through hard times.
281
00:11:32.670 --> 00:11:36.210
There is a big difference
between hard times and wrath.
282
00:11:36.210 --> 00:11:38.850
Now this, this studio is in Moscow
283
00:11:38.850 --> 00:11:42.390
and there was a time when this was the heartbeat,
284
00:11:42.390 --> 00:11:45.630
it was the heart of worldwide communism.
285
00:11:45.630 --> 00:11:48.120
And there were believers here
who really went through hard,
286
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.710
hard times.
287
00:11:49.710 --> 00:11:52.590
They really did. Believers
in the New Testament,
288
00:11:52.590 --> 00:11:57.160
they went through times, but they didn't go through wrath.
289
00:11:57.160 --> 00:11:58.870
And in fact, the closest thing
290
00:11:58.870 --> 00:12:02.320
to wrath in the whole Bible
would really be when the plagues
291
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.500
were poured out on Egypt
that was close to wrath.
292
00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:07.090
But it was like a fairytale
293
00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:09.640
or a nursery rhyme compared
to what's gonna happen
294
00:12:09.640 --> 00:12:11.200
during the great tribulation.
295
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.310
As you said, unfettered wrath is going to be poured out
296
00:12:15.310 --> 00:12:18.880
to such an extent that
people will cry out to die.
297
00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:21.610
They will cry out for the
mountains to fall on them.
298
00:12:21.610 --> 00:12:24.670
It will be a time like no other time.
299
00:12:24.670 --> 00:12:26.620
And isn't it true that
300
00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:30.520
during the great tribulation there's gonna be 144,000
301
00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:34.300
on-fire Jewish evangelists, they're gonna preach
302
00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:35.800
with the power of the Holy Spirit
303
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:37.210
and there's gonna be a revival
304
00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:38.950 line:15%
like there's never been a revival.
305
00:12:38.950 --> 00:12:41.560 line:15%
Absolutely. And why would
they be needed, by the way,
306
00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:43.570 line:15%
if the church was actually here?
307
00:12:43.570 --> 00:12:45.640 line:15%
Some people have become so anti-rapture,
308
00:12:45.640 --> 00:12:48.190
and we've discussed this before - you
309
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:50.080
and I, we don't care what someone's position is
310
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:51.550
if they disagree - then we're still
311
00:12:51.550 --> 00:12:52.780
brothers and sisters in Christ.
312
00:12:52.780 --> 00:12:55.930
But they become so anti rapture for whatever reason:
313
00:12:55.930 --> 00:12:58.210
it's almost as if there's something fueling it
314
00:12:58.210 --> 00:13:00.370
that they're willing to take any crazy
315
00:13:00.370 --> 00:13:03.520
or radical position,
including looking forward to.
316
00:13:03.520 --> 00:13:05.140
I have heard Christians say, Dr.
317
00:13:05.140 --> 00:13:07.570
Renner, that they're looking
forward to the tribulation:
318
00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:09.310
that God has raised us up and trained us
319
00:13:09.310 --> 00:13:11.860
and we're gonna shine
and we're gonna fulfill
320
00:13:11.860 --> 00:13:13.510
God's will during the tribulation.
321
00:13:13.510 --> 00:13:14.590
That's not what Amos says.
322
00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:18.910 line:15%
Amos says, woe to those who long for the day of the Lord
323
00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:21.970 line:15%
because it is not a day where there's gonna be light,
324
00:13:21.970 --> 00:13:23.725 line:15%
where there's gonna be
all kinds of wonderful,
325
00:13:23.725 --> 00:13:24.790
glorious things happening.
326
00:13:24.790 --> 00:13:27.610
This is a time of judgment
and there is no promise -
327
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:28.930
this is a common misconception
328
00:13:28.930 --> 00:13:31.720
'cause people will point to of the plagues of Egypt
329
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.100
as an example and say, well,
330
00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:35.650
God protected his people
during those plagues.
331
00:13:35.650 --> 00:13:37.930
Well, when Jesus was
referencing this time,
332
00:13:37.930 --> 00:13:40.480
he didn't say it would be
like the days of Moses.
333
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.310
He said it would be like the days of Noah
334
00:13:42.310 --> 00:13:44.445
and like the days of Lot. And
335
00:13:44.445 --> 00:13:46.300
What was conspicuous about those is that
336
00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:48.400
there was a supernatural evacuation
337
00:13:48.400 --> 00:13:50.830
or deliverance that God made.
338
00:13:50.830 --> 00:13:53.020
And so it's important for Christians
339
00:13:53.020 --> 00:13:56.620
to know this is not a time
to shine as a believer.
340
00:13:56.620 --> 00:13:59.410
This is a time when the
entire world, including those
341
00:13:59.410 --> 00:14:01.360
who do get saved during this time,
342
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.070
where they're gonna be under the wrath
343
00:14:03.070 --> 00:14:04.420
of God and experiencing it.
344
00:14:04.420 --> 00:14:06.310
In fact, the only thing we're protected
345
00:14:06.310 --> 00:14:09.310
of in Revelation 9, there's this abyss
346
00:14:09.310 --> 00:14:13.120
that's opened up and this demonic locust hoard is released
347
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.250
on the earth and they can't touch people
348
00:14:15.250 --> 00:14:16.300
who are marked by God.
349
00:14:16.300 --> 00:14:17.920
That's the only thing that we're protected
350
00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:21.130
by: the seas turning to blood, the river's turning to blood,
351
00:14:21.130 --> 00:14:24.700
hailstones falling out of heaven, the antichrist taking over
352
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:26.440
and persecuting and killing every Christian,
353
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.390
we're no one is protected from
354
00:14:28.390 --> 00:14:29.620
those things during this time.
355
00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:32.410
The entire earth will be embroiled in the
356
00:14:32.410 --> 00:14:33.820
worst time in human history.
357
00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:37.150
Jesus said it'll be unlike
any time that's ever been seen
358
00:14:37.150 --> 00:14:39.070
or anytime after it.
359
00:14:39.070 --> 00:14:40.750
That's what how Jesus described it.
360
00:14:40.750 --> 00:14:42.400 line:15%
And you don't wanna be here
during that time. Well,
361
00:14:43.405 --> 00:14:46.180 line:15%
In the Book of Daniels says
the antichrist will wage war
362
00:14:46.180 --> 00:14:49.240
on the saints and it actually
says power will be given
363
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.140
to him for a short period to
364
00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:53.870
do that. You know, I know
somebody who said, well,
365
00:14:53.870 --> 00:14:56.330
if there's gonna be such
a great revival, you know,
366
00:14:56.330 --> 00:14:57.680
so many people are gonna get saved,
367
00:14:57.680 --> 00:14:59.090
the greatest revival in history,
368
00:14:59.090 --> 00:15:01.220
I don't wanna go in the rapture.
369
00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:03.140
Anybody who says that
370
00:15:03.140 --> 00:15:05.120
does not understand what's gonna happen
371
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.860
during the tribulation.
372
00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:08.720
If you really understand
what's gonna happen
373
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.430
during the tribulation,
you wanna believe in a
374
00:15:10.430 --> 00:15:12.020
pretrial rapture.
375
00:15:12.020 --> 00:15:14.150
And it's okay to be called an escapist.
376
00:15:14.150 --> 00:15:17.120
We're not trying to escape
reality or escape duty
377
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.070
or escape responsibility.
378
00:15:19.070 --> 00:15:22.490
But you know what, Jesus
is gonna take us out.
379
00:15:22.490 --> 00:15:25.910
I like to think about ambassadors. Before war begins,
380
00:15:25.910 --> 00:15:29.750
ambassadors are always recalled. They're called home.
381
00:15:29.750 --> 00:15:33.050
And before this event
begins, Jesus is gonna come
382
00:15:33.050 --> 00:15:35.180
and he is gonna take his church.
383
00:15:35.180 --> 00:15:36.740
Now, in your view,
384
00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:38.750
and I know your view is very wide,
385
00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:42.530
what do you believe is the
most important New Testament
386
00:15:42.530 --> 00:15:45.260 line:15%
scripture for the rapture of the church?
387
00:15:45.260 --> 00:15:47.480 line:15%
This is one of the most
important questions, and I,
388
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:49.850 line:15%
and I think this is important
to take a moment with this
389
00:15:49.850 --> 00:15:51.200 line:15%
because, and I have a verse,
390
00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:54.500
but everyone wants to proof
text their position online.
391
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.440
That's we're kind of in
the social media society
392
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:59.570
or generation where here are proof text,
393
00:15:59.570 --> 00:16:01.640
there are proof text and
they're all out of context.
394
00:16:01.640 --> 00:16:03.620
And so when, when people ask me for
395
00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:05.840
what verse do I believe proves a rapture,
396
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.180
I always say 1 Thessalonians,
397
00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:09.860
'cause I think more
important than a single
398
00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:11.630
verse is the chapter.
399
00:16:11.630 --> 00:16:13.940
And more important than
the chapter is the book.
400
00:16:13.940 --> 00:16:17.630
And I think the entirety of 1 Thessalonians is a
401
00:16:17.630 --> 00:16:21.050
full-throated defense of the pre-tribulational rapture.
402
00:16:21.050 --> 00:16:23.150
But you could look at 1 Thessalonians 1:
403
00:16:23.150 --> 00:16:26.120 line:15%
10, where he's gonna deliver us from the wrath to come.
404
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.640 line:15%
You could look at 1 Thessalonians 5,
405
00:16:28.640 --> 00:16:31.130 line:15%
where he says, we've not been appointed unto wrath,
406
00:16:31.130 --> 00:16:33.920 line:15%
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.
407
00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:35.960 line:15%
Revelation 3:10,
408
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.840 line:15%
where he's gonna remove us
from the time of tribulation
409
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:40.070 line:15%
that's gonna come upon the earth.
410
00:16:40.070 --> 00:16:42.560 line:15%
And of course John 14 where he says,
411
00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.300
let not your heart be troubled.
412
00:16:44.300 --> 00:16:45.920 line:15%
You believe in God, believe also in me,
413
00:16:45.920 --> 00:16:48.020 line:15%
for in my father's
house are many mansions.
414
00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:49.280 line:15%
If it were not so, I would've told you,
415
00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:51.710 line:15%
but I am going to prepare
a place for you that
416
00:16:51.710 --> 00:16:54.950 line:15%
where I am there you may be
also. So there's a lot of
417
00:16:54.950 --> 00:16:55.950
text.
418
00:16:55.950 --> 00:16:56.840 line:15%
He says, I will. He
says, I will come again,
419
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.260 line:15%
Yes, and I will come again
and receive you to myself.
420
00:17:00.260 --> 00:17:01.700 line:15%
It's the rapture
421
00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:03.980 line:15%
of the church right
from the lips of Jesus.
422
00:17:03.980 --> 00:17:07.160 line:15%
Now when you come to 1 Thessalonians 4,
423
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:08.840 line:15%
it says those that are alive
424
00:17:08.840 --> 00:17:11.600 line:15%
and remain, there's
actually two categories.
425
00:17:11.600 --> 00:17:13.790 line:15%
The dead in Christ are
gonna be raised first,
426
00:17:13.790 --> 00:17:16.370 line:15%
then those which are alive and remain.
427
00:17:16.370 --> 00:17:18.650 line:15%
And that phrase is repeated twice in
428
00:17:18.650 --> 00:17:22.340 line:15%
that text, verbatim: in Greek verbatim alive
429
00:17:22.340 --> 00:17:26.090 line:15%
and remain shall be caught up
together with them, with those
430
00:17:26.090 --> 00:17:27.170 line:15%
that have been raised from the dead
431
00:17:27.170 --> 00:17:28.640 line:15%
to meet the Lord in the air.
432
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.980
So I wanna ask you, brother Alan,
433
00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:33.620
what does it mean when
the Bible says those that
434
00:17:33.620 --> 00:17:35.120
are alive and remain?
435
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:36.680
What do you think that means?
436
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.900 line:15%
Well, first of all, the apostle Paul says we
437
00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:41.000 line:15%
who are alive and remain.
438
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.060 line:15%
So he believed that the rapture could happen so quickly,
439
00:17:44.060 --> 00:17:45.950 line:15%
it was so imminent that he was -
440
00:17:45.950 --> 00:17:48.830 line:15%
he was planning on being included in that number.
441
00:17:48.830 --> 00:17:51.330 line:15%
That's how quickly the Apostle
Paul thought that was coming.
442
00:17:51.330 --> 00:17:53.940 line:15%
But I learned this from
reading your book as a matter
443
00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:57.150 line:15%
of fact, and it so thrilled my heart - when I read your
444
00:17:57.150 --> 00:18:01.590 line:15%
description of the Greek word - alive and remain.
445
00:18:01.590 --> 00:18:03.180 line:15%
And perhaps you could speak to this
446
00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.260 line:15%
because I thought it was,
447
00:18:04.260 --> 00:18:05.640 line:15%
I thought it was an outstanding
448
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.020 line:15%
revelation I'd never considered.
449
00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:10.770 line:15%
Well the word alive would be
better translated the living
450
00:18:10.770 --> 00:18:12.960 line:15%
ones, the vibrant ones.
451
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:17.760 line:15%
And the word remain is unmistakably a word which describes
452
00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:21.510 line:15%
the very remnant of a garment that is left over.
453
00:18:21.510 --> 00:18:24.780 line:15%
The rest of it has been lost, but a remnant remains,
454
00:18:24.780 --> 00:18:26.520
or the word could secondly be used -
455
00:18:26.520 --> 00:18:28.560 line:15%
these are the only two ways it could be used -
456
00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:30.780 line:15%
to describe a group of soldiers
457
00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:32.160 line:15%
who fought all the way to the end.
458
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.210
Everybody else is gone,
459
00:18:33.210 --> 00:18:36.210
but these guys were faithful to the end.
460
00:18:36.210 --> 00:18:38.250
So if you really take
those words together,
461
00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:41.190
and this raises a lot of
theological questions,
462
00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:45.270
it really means we, the
living ones, the vibrant ones,
463
00:18:45.270 --> 00:18:47.160
the ones that are spiritually engaged,
464
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.760
I'm talking about the remnant
that will still be alive
465
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:55.620
and around that has survived
everything all the way
466
00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:57.900
unto the coming of the Lord.
467
00:18:57.900 --> 00:19:00.690
So he's coming for those
that are looking for him
468
00:19:00.690 --> 00:19:02.070
and for those that are engaged.
469
00:19:02.070 --> 00:19:04.170 line:15%
And that makes me want to ask a question.
470
00:19:04.170 --> 00:19:06.150 line:15%
I didn't prepare you for this.
471
00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:07.590 line:15%
What about nominal Christians?
472
00:19:08.550 --> 00:19:09.900 line:15%
Well, you know - the question is,
473
00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:14.190
and I.....there's a hypothetical position
474
00:19:14.190 --> 00:19:16.710
that says only a certain segment
475
00:19:16.710 --> 00:19:18.510
of the Christian population
will be raptured.
476
00:19:18.510 --> 00:19:20.940
And it's kind of portrayed
as the upper crust,
477
00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:23.310
the top shelf, the best of
the best Christian will be,
478
00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:25.890
will be taken in the rapture.
479
00:19:25.890 --> 00:19:27.600
That's called the partial rapture theory.
480
00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:29.850
I don't know that I buy into the entirety
481
00:19:29.850 --> 00:19:31.200
of the partial rapture theory,
482
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:34.830
however, there is, as you have
said, an intentional tension
483
00:19:35.730 --> 00:19:38.070
in scripture when talking
to believers that you need
484
00:19:38.070 --> 00:19:39.960
to be ready, you need to be
ready, you need to be ready.
485
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:44.280
I, I list 21 verses in the
New Testament alone where the,
486
00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:45.360 line:15%
They're all right
Here.
487
00:19:45.360 --> 00:19:48.030 line:15%
It's, it's listed and it
tells you you gotta be ready.
488
00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:49.320 line:15%
So why would he tell us we need
489
00:19:49.320 --> 00:19:51.090 line:15%
to be ready if it didn't really matter
490
00:19:51.090 --> 00:19:52.830 line:15%
and we were gonna go anyway.
491
00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:55.560 line:15%
So perhaps we have to
redefine in our minds
492
00:19:55.560 --> 00:19:56.730
what it means to be a Christian.
493
00:19:56.730 --> 00:19:57.960 line:15%
Maybe, maybe
494
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.390 line:15%
what some call a nominal Christian isn't a Christian at all.
495
00:20:00.390 --> 00:20:02.490 line:15%
Maybe, maybe they're just pretenders.
496
00:20:02.490 --> 00:20:05.340 line:15%
Maybe there are those among
us who say they are believers
497
00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:07.050
and they say, Lord, Lord,
498
00:20:07.050 --> 00:20:10.080 line:15%
but in the end they don't know Jesus
499
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:11.430 line:15%
and he doesn't know them.
500
00:20:11.430 --> 00:20:13.320 line:15%
So I don't, I don't, go ahead.
501
00:20:14.280 --> 00:20:17.220 line:15%
In 2 Timothy 3:5, Paul talks about those
502
00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:19.320 line:15%
that have a form of godliness,
503
00:20:19.320 --> 00:20:21.840 line:15%
but they, they inwardly
lack the real deal.
504
00:20:21.840 --> 00:20:24.840 line:15%
And I always use the
illustration of mannequins.
505
00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:26.490 line:15%
One day I was in New York City with Denise
506
00:20:26.490 --> 00:20:28.530
and she was shopping and I bumped into
507
00:20:28.530 --> 00:20:29.940
somebody and I turned to them.
508
00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:32.460
I said, oh, I'm so sorry. And
then I got to looking at it,
509
00:20:32.460 --> 00:20:35.430
it was a mannequin. And the mannequin was
510
00:20:35.430 --> 00:20:37.770
so fashioned like a person,
511
00:20:37.770 --> 00:20:40.350
it really looked like a woman was standing
512
00:20:40.350 --> 00:20:42.240
there, but it was empty.
513
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.330
It was just a shell. And there's a lot of Christians today,
514
00:20:45.330 --> 00:20:48.250 line:15%
so-called Christians,
they carry their Bible,
515
00:20:48.250 --> 00:20:50.110 line:15%
they put a cross around their neck,
516
00:20:50.110 --> 00:20:52.480 line:15%
they say the right things,
they have the right look,
517
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.790 line:15%
but they're really just
spiritual mannequins.
518
00:20:54.790 --> 00:20:57.310 line:15%
They inwardly lack the real deal.
519
00:20:57.310 --> 00:20:59.350 line:15%
They have a form of godliness,
520
00:20:59.350 --> 00:21:02.050 line:15%
but they lack the substance thereof.
521
00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:04.450
And I think that it's smart for everybody
522
00:21:04.450 --> 00:21:07.510
who calls on the name of
Jesus to look at their heart
523
00:21:07.510 --> 00:21:11.680
and to see as 1 Corinthians 13 says,
524
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.590
that we examine - 2 Corinthians -
525
00:21:14.590 --> 00:21:16.180
to make sure we're in the faith.
526
00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:18.460
It's good for us to take
a look at our heart.
527
00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:20.920
And especially when you talk
about the coming of the Lord
528
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.500
and being ready, we need
to look at our hearts
529
00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:25.450 line:15%
to make sure everything's right.
530
00:21:25.450 --> 00:21:27.040 line:15%
Yeah, anyone who has this hope,
531
00:21:27.040 --> 00:21:28.720 line:15%
the Bible says this, blessed hope
532
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:31.120 line:15%
Purifies
Purifies themselves.
533
00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:32.500 line:15%
And that should be the intention.
534
00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:35.290 line:15%
That should be the effect of
the teaching of the rapture.
535
00:21:35.290 --> 00:21:37.090 line:15%
A proper teaching of the
rapture doesn't create a
536
00:21:37.090 --> 00:21:38.470 line:15%
lazy believism.
537
00:21:38.470 --> 00:21:40.000 line:15%
You know, there's that caricature
538
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.070 line:15%
that it creates lazy escapism.
539
00:21:42.070 --> 00:21:44.680 line:15%
Well, there's a difference between lazy escapism, which you
540
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.730 line:15%
and I would disagree with,
541
00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:48.880 line:15%
and an escape plan which
we're all gonna be a part
542
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.700 line:15%
of if we're trusting in Jesus
for our eternal salvation.
543
00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:53.650 line:15%
So that is the good news,
ladies and gentlemen.
544
00:21:53.650 --> 00:21:55.990 line:15%
As bad as it's going to get out there,
545
00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:59.110 line:15%
it's we are gonna experience an escape plan.
546
00:21:59.110 --> 00:22:01.660 line:15%
He's gonna rescue us in the nick of time
547
00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:02.830 line:15%
and take us to be with him.
548
00:22:02.830 --> 00:22:04.030 line:15%
And it's gonna be a glorious day.
549
00:22:04.990 --> 00:22:06.790 line:15%
And 1 Corinthians 4:18 says,
550
00:22:06.790 --> 00:22:09.610 line:15%
when we talk about the rapture, it shouldn't scare us,
551
00:22:09.610 --> 00:22:10.840 line:15%
it should comfort us.
552
00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:15.160 line:15%
Yes. - What a wonderful
message that Jesus is coming
553
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.480 line:15%
for those that are alive
554
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.280 line:15%
and remain unto the coming of the Lord
555
00:22:18.280 --> 00:22:20.980 line:15%
and brother, we're gonna
be a part of that group.
556
00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:23.260 line:15%
But thank you for being with
me. This has just been great.
557
00:22:23.260 --> 00:22:25.870 line:15%
I know you're busy. I wanna
thank you for being with me
558
00:22:25.870 --> 00:22:27.760 line:15%
and being with my listeners.
559
00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:30.640 line:15%
They are gonna be so
thrilled to have heard you
560
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.280 line:15%
and thank you for writing
this wonderful book.
561
00:22:33.280 --> 00:22:34.690 line:15%
Thank you for being with me and friends,
562
00:22:34.690 --> 00:22:36.460 line:15%
I'll be back in just a moment.
563
00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:37.460

564
00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:38.380
born for this moment.

567

00:24:00.830 --> 00:24:01.880
Hey, this is Rick Renner
597
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:04.820 line:15%
and I am in the Production Fulfillment part
598
00:24:04.820 --> 00:24:06.950 line:15%
of the Tulsa Ministry headquarters.
599
00:24:06.950 --> 00:24:08.900 line:15%
And I just love to come here
600
00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:11.210 line:15%
because I see what people are ordering.
601
00:24:11.210 --> 00:24:12.410 line:15%
For example here,
602
00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:14.870 line:15%
someone has just ordered the 5-part series called, How
603
00:24:14.870 --> 00:24:17.480 line:15%
to Have Peace of Mind and Troubled Times.
604
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.820 line:15%
I know this person just became a partner
605
00:24:19.820 --> 00:24:22.070 line:15%
because we're sending them
our personal testimony,
606
00:24:22.070 --> 00:24:23.630 line:15%
which is called - Unlikely.
607
00:24:23.630 --> 00:24:26.960 line:15%
We always send that to
anyone who becomes a partner.
608
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.740 line:15%
And then a person here just ordered World Before the Flood.
609
00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:32.000 line:15%
That's 15 parts.
610
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.560 line:15%
And this person just ordered
Easter The Rest of the Story.
611
00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:39.050 line:15%
But I'd just love to come here
612
00:24:39.050 --> 00:24:42.590 line:15%
and see all these teaching resources.
613
00:24:42.590 --> 00:24:47.270 line:15%
My friends, we send them out
by 10 thousands every month
614
00:24:47.270 --> 00:24:48.290 line:15%
and every year.
615
00:24:48.290 --> 00:24:50.390 line:15%
It is just amazing
616
00:24:50.390 --> 00:24:54.740 line:15%
and it's a great honor that anyone would want our teaching.
617
00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:55.880 line:15%
It's very humbling
618
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.850 line:15%
and I'm very grateful that
God is using our ministry
619
00:24:58.850 --> 00:25:02.210 line:15%
and our teaching to strengthen
lives around the world.
620
00:25:02.210 --> 00:25:07.210 line:15%
And our partners are the
ones helping us to do it.
621
00:25:07.280 --> 00:25:09.530 line:15%
We're told in Proverbs 10:21, the Lips
622
00:25:09.530 --> 00:25:11.390
of the righteous feed many.
623
00:25:11.390 --> 00:25:14.540 line:15%
And I know that is the
assignment on my life.
624
00:25:14.540 --> 00:25:17.270 line:15%
It's to take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
625
00:25:17.270 --> 00:25:18.680 line:15%
to people around the world.
626
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.980 line:15%
And right now we're trying
to pay off this facility
627
00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:25.430 line:15%
so we can release more
funds to taking the teaching
628
00:25:25.430 --> 00:25:27.350 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
629
00:25:27.350 --> 00:25:30.200
We've already paid off 84%
630
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.180
of our ministry expansion project,
631
00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:33.740
but we'd like to finish it.
632
00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:36.260
And if you're not a part of
the Giving Team yet today,
633
00:25:36.260 --> 00:25:38.390
I want to ask you to join our giving team
634
00:25:38.390 --> 00:25:40.910
so we can pay off this facility
635
00:25:40.910 --> 00:25:44.660
and release all those funds
into taking the teaching
636
00:25:44.660 --> 00:25:47.330
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
637
00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:59.300
Well, today we've been with Alan Didio.
638
00:25:59.300 --> 00:26:00.980
Have you enjoyed him?
639
00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:04.370
I think he has such a reputable ministry. I love him.
640
00:26:04.370 --> 00:26:08.060
I love his family and I
respect what his voice has
641
00:26:08.060 --> 00:26:09.080
to say to us.
642
00:26:09.080 --> 00:26:11.360 line:15%
And his new book called - They Lied
643
00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:15.500 line:15%
to You about the Rapture, is truly an amazing book about the
644
00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:16.910 line:15%
end of the age.
645
00:26:16.910 --> 00:26:20.060 line:15%
And of course, right now
we're doing a series A 10 part
646
00:26:20.060 --> 00:26:23.960 line:15%
series, which is called A
Prophetic View of the Future.
647
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.950 line:15%
And five of my friends are
joining me for this series.
648
00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:31.130 line:15%
But you can find out about
all these things by going
649
00:26:31.130 --> 00:26:33.830 line:15%
to our website or you can give us a call
650
00:26:33.830 --> 00:26:35.870 line:15%
and please, when you reach
out to us, let us know
651
00:26:35.870 --> 00:26:37.370 line:15%
how to pray for you.
652
00:26:37.370 --> 00:26:38.600 line:15%
We're praying for you anyway,
653
00:26:38.600 --> 00:26:40.850 line:15%
but when you let us know
how to pray, we're going
654
00:26:40.850 --> 00:26:42.710 line:15%
to be more effective in our praying.
655
00:26:42.710 --> 00:26:45.600 line:15%
But Father, we thank you that
you gave us this time today.
656
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:46.860 line:15%
Help us to have your mind
657
00:26:46.860 --> 00:26:49.110 line:15%
and your heart for our times
658
00:26:49.110 --> 00:26:51.780 line:15%
that we would be effective
all the way to the end,
659
00:26:51.780 --> 00:26:55.380 line:15%
in Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
660
00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:58.650
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
661
00:26:58.650 --> 00:27:01.230
of a king is, there is power."
662
00:27:01.230 --> 00:27:03.480
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
663
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:07.860 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
664
00:27:07.860 --> 00:27:10.050 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
665
00:27:10.050 --> 00:27:14.100 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
666
00:27:14.100 --> 00:27:18.120 line:15%
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
667
00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:21.090 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
668
00:27:21.090 --> 00:27:24.090 line:15%
and make me completely new.
669
00:27:24.090 --> 00:27:28.020 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
670
00:27:28.020 --> 00:27:33.020 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
671
00:27:33.450 --> 00:27:37.440 line:15%
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
672
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:39.120 line:15%
for the rest of my life.
673
00:27:40.020 --> 00:27:41.020 line:15%
Amen.
674
00:27:42.540 --> 00:27:45.360 line:15%
