00:05.309 --> 00:07.373
GOOD EVENING, LORD
OF HOSTS CHURCH.

00:09.242 --> 00:12.029
I SAID GOOD EVENING,
LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH.

00:15.210 --> 00:19.469
I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU
THAT YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAS

00:19.469 --> 00:25.260
EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED. SOME
OF YOU CAME IN HERE WITH SOME

00:25.260 --> 00:29.730
BURDENS THAT YOU WEREN'T MEANT
TO CARRY. SOME OF YOU CAME IN

00:29.730 --> 00:35.520
HERE WITH SOME UNEXPECTED THINGS
THAT YOU WEREN'T READY FOR. BUT

00:35.520 --> 00:39.570
KNOW THIS, GOD HAS ALREADY
ANSWERED YOUR PRAYER 'CAUSE IT

00:39.570 --> 00:42.479
SAYS IN HIS WORD THAT HE HAS
ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR EVERY

00:42.479 --> 00:47.250
SINGLE THING THAT YOU HAVE NEED
OF. BUT THERE IS A REQUEST.

00:48.390 --> 00:55.259
ENTER IN TO PRAISE. LET GOD
ALMIGHTY INHABIT YOUR PRAISE.

00:56.399 --> 01:01.127
LET GOD ALMIGHTY INHABIT
YOUR PRAISE AND WATCH THE

01:01.127 --> 01:06.299
BREAKTHROUGH COME. ARE YOU READY
TO ENTER IN TONIGHT? LET'S GO.

01:12.739 --> 01:13.305

OH, WE WORSHIP YOU, LORD.

12:46.099 --> 12:50.894
WE WORSHIP YOU IN THIS PLACE.
THERE'S NO NAME LIKE JESUS.

12:50.919 --> 12:52.899
THERE'S NO NAME LIKE JESUS.

12:53.919 --> 12:59.528
THERE'S NO NAME UNDER HEAVEN
OR EARTH LIKE JESUS. JESUS, WE

12:59.528 --> 13:03.220
WORSHIP YOU TONIGHT IN THIS
PLACE. WE MAGNIFY YOUR HOLY

13:03.220 --> 13:07.778
NAME. WE THANK YOU, LORD, FOR
ALL YOUR GOODNESS, YOUR GRACE,

13:07.778 --> 13:13.958
YOUR MERCY. YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE
FOR US. YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE FOR

13:13.958 --> 13:20.679
US. THANK YOU, JESUS. WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS OUR

13:20.679 --> 13:25.240
PRAISE TONIGHT TO YOU. THANK
YOU, LORD. YOU GIVE US LIFE. YOU

13:25.240 --> 13:31.509
GIVE US BREATH. HALLELUJAH.
HALLELUJAH. THANK YOU, JESUS.

13:31.509 --> 13:36.250
HALLELUJAH. WE WORSHIP YOU IN
THIS PLACE. WE MAGNIFY YOUR

13:36.250 --> 13:44.470
NAME. WE'RE SO THANKFUL TONIGHT,
LORD. WE HAVE A HEART OF

13:44.470 --> 13:49.629
THANKSGIVING TOWARDS YOU AND
WHAT YOU ARE DOING FOR US. WE

13:49.629 --> 13:58.990
ANTICIPATE THE DAYS AHEAD AND
SEEING A MIGHTY HARVEST COMING

13:58.990 --> 14:04.870
FOR YOU. THE GREATEST HARVEST
THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. AND WE

14:04.870 --> 14:10.480
GIVE YOU GLORY. WE GIVE YOU
GLORY TONIGHT, LORD. YOU'RE

14:10.480 --> 14:15.278
AMAZING AND AWESOME. WORDS
CANNOT EXPRESS. THANK YOU, LORD.

14:15.278 --> 14:17.740
JUST PRAY IN THE SPIRIT
TONIGHT FOR A MOMENT.

14:17.740 --> 14:33.740
[PRAYING IN TONGUES]

14:34.208 --> 14:38.828
HALLELUJAH. WE WORSHIP YOU,
LORD. WE MAGNIFY YOUR NAME.

14:40.000 --> 14:45.818
THANK YOU, LORD. THANK YOU,
LORD. THE LORD SHOWED ME THREE

14:45.818 --> 14:49.149
THINGS THAT I JUST WANT TO POINT
OUT QUICKLY BEFORE WE MOVE ON

14:49.149 --> 14:52.448
TONIGHT. NUMBER ONE, IS THERE
SOMEONE HERE, MAYBE YOU'RE

14:52.448 --> 15:01.629
WATCHING ONLINE, AND YOU
ESPECIALLY HAVE A DESIRE AND A

15:01.629 --> 15:06.490
PASSION TO WORK WITH YOUR
HANDS IN CRAFTS. AND WHEN I SAY

15:06.490 --> 15:12.490
CRAFTS, I'M TALKING ABOUT LIKE,
HOBBY LOBBY AND MICHAELS WOULD

15:12.490 --> 15:16.659
BE YOUR FAVORITE STORE. YOU LOVE
TO WORK WITH CRAFTS. IS THERE

15:16.659 --> 15:20.046
SOMEONE HERE THAT LIKES THAT?
MAYBE I'M TALKING TO, OH, IT'S

15:20.046 --> 15:25.958
YOU? COME ON UP HERE. ANYONE
ELSE? COME ON UP HERE. IT MIGHT

15:25.958 --> 15:31.208
BE MORE THAN ONE. IT COULD BE
SOMEONE ONLINE TONIGHT. I DON'T

15:31.208 --> 15:34.120
KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY MEN THAT
LOVE TO WORK WITH THAT TYPE OF

15:34.120 --> 15:39.730
CRAFTS. PASTOR KEITH, DIDN'T
YOU TELL ME THAT HOBBY LOBBY WAS

15:39.730 --> 15:45.211
YOUR FAVORITE STORE? NO, OKAY.
I GUESS I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT.

15:47.078 --> 15:51.370
HERE'S, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHY
GOD CALLED YOU OUT, BUT THIS IS

15:51.370 --> 15:59.169
WHAT I'M FEELING IN MY HEART,
IS THAT YOUR PENCHANT AND DESIRE

15:59.169 --> 16:05.589
AND YOUR SKILL AND YOUR ABILITY
FOR WORKING WITH YOUR HANDS,

16:05.589 --> 16:11.860
DOING CRAFTS, IS GONNA RELATE
TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAT GOD HAS

16:11.860 --> 16:16.328
FOR YOU. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THAT IS. IT'S INDIVIDUAL FOR

16:16.328 --> 16:20.679
EACH OF YOU. MAYBE IT'S JUST THE
FACT THAT YOU MAKE SOMETHING AND

16:20.679 --> 16:23.948
YOU TAKE IT TO A NEIGHBOR AND
GIVE IT TO HIM AS A GIFT AND IT

16:23.948 --> 16:27.909
OPENS THE DOOR FOR YOU TO SHARE
THE GOSPEL. I DON'T KNOW. IT

16:27.909 --> 16:31.240
COULD BE MANY THINGS OR MAYBE
IT'S A BUSINESS THAT GOD HAS FOR

16:31.240 --> 16:35.350
YOU. I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW,
JESUS WAS A CRAFTSMAN. THE BIBLE

16:35.350 --> 16:38.740
TELLS US HE WAS AN EXCELLENT
CARPENTER. HE KNEW HOW TO WORK

16:38.740 --> 16:41.078
WITH HIS HANDS, SO THERE'S
NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED ABOUT

16:41.078 --> 16:46.360
THAT. IT'S A WONDERFUL GIFT IF
YOU CAN DO IT. YOU KNOW, I'M NOT

16:46.360 --> 16:50.889
AN ARTIST AT ALL. I COULDN'T
HARDLY DRAW A STICK MAN, BUT YOU

16:50.889 --> 16:55.059
HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SKILL TO DO
SOME THINGS. AND SO I JUST WANT

16:55.059 --> 16:58.000
TO PRAY OVER YOU TONIGHT, A
BLESSING, AND I SAY, AND JUST

16:58.000 --> 17:00.879
STRETCH YOUR HANDS TOWARDS
THESE. AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING

17:00.879 --> 17:03.610
ONLINE TONIGHT AND THAT'S YOU,
YOU JUST RECEIVE IT RIGHT WHERE

17:03.610 --> 17:07.088
YOU'RE AT. FATHER, I PRAY A
BLESSING OVER THESE THAT COME UP

17:07.088 --> 17:10.179
HERE TONIGHT. I'M NOT SURE WHY
YOU HAVE CALLED THEM OUT EXCEPT

17:10.179 --> 17:13.179
THAT YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW
THEY'RE APPRECIATED, THEY'RE

17:13.179 --> 17:16.118
LOVED BY YOU. YOU HAVE GIVEN
THEM THE SKILLS AND THE

17:16.118 --> 17:19.598
ABILITIES THAT THEY HAVE. YOU
GIVE US THE DESIRES OF OUR

17:19.598 --> 17:23.529
HEART. AND I THANK YOU, LORD,
THAT YOU'VE CALLED THEM TO THIS

17:23.529 --> 17:29.650
TYPE OF WORK. AND I DECLARE
WISDOM, GUIDANCE, AND DIRECTION

17:29.650 --> 17:33.849
BE IMPARTED TO THEM TONIGHT SO
THAT THEY CAN RECEIVE AND MOVE

17:33.849 --> 17:37.990
FORWARD WITH THE GIFT THAT YOU
HAVE FOR THEM IN THE MIGHTY NAME

17:37.990 --> 17:42.609
OF JESUS, THAT THEY DO GREAT
EXPLOITS WITH THIS IN THE MIGHTY

17:42.609 --> 17:48.308
NAME OF JESUS. WE DECLARE AND
BELIEVE IT. AMEN, AMEN. YOU CAN

17:48.308 --> 17:52.179
RETURN TO YOUR SEATS 'CAUSE I
HAVE TWO OTHER THINGS THAT THE

17:52.179 --> 17:57.069
LORD GAVE ME TONIGHT. ONE OF
THEM IS, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE

17:57.069 --> 18:01.329
AND YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED OR YOU
REALLY, AND MAYBE YOU DON'T

18:01.329 --> 18:05.650
WANNA COME UP HERE FOR THIS, BUT
YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED OR YOU, I'LL

18:05.650 --> 18:08.769
PUT IT THIS WAY, YOU'RE NOT
HAPPY WITH YOUR JOB POSITION AND

18:08.769 --> 18:12.038
YOU NEED A CHANGE. IF THAT'S
YOU, RUN UP HERE. I BELIEVE GOD

18:12.038 --> 18:15.944
HAS, AND PASTOR KEITH, WOULD YOU
COME UP HERE FOR A MOMENT? I'M

18:15.944 --> 18:21.579
GONNA HAVE YOU PRAY. SOMEONE GET
HIM A MIC IF YOU WOULD. I WANT

18:21.579 --> 18:25.029
PASTOR KEITH TO PRAY FOR ANYONE
ONLINE THAT COULD BE IN THAT

18:25.029 --> 18:28.450
SITUATION. THEY NEED A JOB
CHANGE, OR MAYBE THEY'RE

18:28.450 --> 18:31.960
UNEMPLOYED RIGHT NOW. I JUST
FEEL LIKE THE LORD WANTS TO

18:31.960 --> 18:34.779
BLESS YOU WITH THAT. AND I'M
GONNA PRAY FOR YOU TOO. IF

18:34.779 --> 18:36.788
THERE'S ANYONE ELSE THAT COMES
UP HERE, I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE

18:36.788 --> 18:41.950
TO COME ON UP. GOD HAS THE
PERFECT THING FOR YOU. AND I

18:41.950 --> 18:47.798
BELIEVE THAT TONIGHT WILL BE AN
OPEN DOOR TO MOVE OUT. SO HERE'S

18:47.798 --> 18:50.288
WHAT I'M GONNA TELL YOU. I'LL
GIVE YOU A LITTLE INSTRUCTION.

18:50.288 --> 18:56.798
YOU PRAY, BELIEVE GOD, ASK FOR
FAVOR, AND THEN YOU STEP OUT AND

18:56.798 --> 19:02.079
DO. THERE'S TWO PARTS TO THE
SUPERNATURAL. THERE'S THE SUPER

19:02.079 --> 19:05.288
THAT GOD DOES, GIVING YOU FAVOR,
GIVING YOU WISDOM, GIVING YOU

19:05.288 --> 19:08.200
DIRECTION. AND THEN THERE'S THE
SECOND PART OF THE SUPERNATURAL,

19:08.200 --> 19:12.400
AND THAT'S THE NATURAL, WHERE
YOU PUT YOUR HAND TO IT. HE

19:12.400 --> 19:15.519
PROBABLY WON'T JUST MAKE YOUR
PHONE RING AND IT'LL BE SOME

19:15.519 --> 19:19.119
EMPLOYER SAYING, "I HEARD YOU
NEED A JOB." THAT COULD HAPPEN,

19:19.119 --> 19:21.669
BUT IT PROBABLY WON'T BE THAT.
IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU'VE PUT

19:21.669 --> 19:25.029
A RESUME TOGETHER, YOU'VE DONE
YOUR DILIGENCE, YOU'VE BEEN OUT

19:25.029 --> 19:28.929
SEARCHING, YOU'VE BEEN APPLYING,
YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO YOUR

19:28.929 --> 19:32.140
BEST. YOU DO YOUR PART, GOD DOES
HIS PART. WHEN WE TAKE A STEP,

19:32.140 --> 19:34.240
GOD TAKES A STEP. I'M GOING
TO COME DOWN AND PRAY FOR YOU.

19:34.240 --> 19:39.069
PASTOR KEITH, YOU PRAY FOR THE
ONLINE. FATHER, AS WE STRETCH

19:39.069 --> 19:43.839
OUT OUR HAND AND WE BELIEVE,
FATHER GOD, THAT YOU KNOW THE

19:43.839 --> 19:47.679
PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE
THROUGHOUT TIME AND YOU KNOW THE

19:47.679 --> 19:51.640
SITUATIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE
WATCHING RIGHT NOW. AND I SPEAK

19:51.640 --> 19:56.019
INTO THEIR LIVES, YOUR PRESENCE,
YOUR PRESENCE TO SHOW THEM

19:56.019 --> 20:01.298
DIRECTION, YOUR PRESENCE TO MAKE
A WAY WHEN THERE SEEMS TO BE NO

20:01.298 --> 20:06.816
WAY. BUT FATHER GOD, WE SPEAK
INTO THEIR LIVES, YOUR PLAN,

20:06.816 --> 20:10.746
YOUR PURPOSE, AND YOUR POWER
IN EVERY WAY TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR

20:10.746 --> 20:18.096
WILL THROUGH THE POWER OF YOUR
SON AND IN HIS NAME. AMEN. AMEN.

20:18.096 --> 20:22.266
STAY RIGHT HERE, PASTOR KEITH.
WE HAVE ONE MORE THING TO DO. I

20:22.266 --> 20:24.816
HAD THREE THINGS THAT THE LORD
DROPPED IN MY HEART TONIGHT. THE

20:24.816 --> 20:30.155
THIRD ONE WAS, IS THERE SOMEONE
HERE AND YOU'VE LOST YOUR SPOUSE

20:30.155 --> 20:33.605
RECENTLY, OR YOU'VE LOST A
BROTHER OR A SISTER, SOME

20:33.605 --> 20:37.715
IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER? YOU'RE
GOING THROUGH A TIME PERIOD OF

20:37.715 --> 20:40.925
GRIEF. MAYBE THERE AGAIN, THAT'S
SOMEONE ONLINE. IS THERE SOMEONE

20:40.925 --> 20:43.986
HERE AND YOU'VE ACTUALLY LOST
SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU AND YOUR

20:43.986 --> 20:51.665
FAMILY? OKAY, COME ON UP HERE.
I BELIEVE THE LORD WANTS TO JUST

20:51.665 --> 20:56.195
HELP YOU DURING THIS TIME OF
LOSS TO RECEIVE HIS COMFORT AND

20:56.195 --> 21:03.155
HIS PEACE IN THIS SITUATION
BECAUSE GOD KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE

21:03.155 --> 21:09.246
YOU'RE AT AND HE'S A FATHER WHEN
WE NEED A FATHER. HE CAN BE A

21:09.246 --> 21:12.935
MOTHER WHEN WE NEED A MOTHER.
THAT'S OUR GOD, AND HE'LL TAKE

21:12.935 --> 21:21.605
AWAY THE DESPAIR, THE
LONELINESS, THE EMOTION THAT

21:21.605 --> 21:24.605
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH. HEY, IT'S
NATURAL TO HAVE GRIEF. THAT'S

21:24.605 --> 21:30.935
OKAY. BUT OUR JESUS PAID THE
PRICE FOR EVERYTHING THAT WE GO

21:30.935 --> 21:36.395
THROUGH IN THIS LIFE, AND WE CAN
JUST RECEIVE COMFORT FROM HIM IN

21:36.395 --> 21:39.036
THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS. PASTOR
KEITH, YOU PRAY FOR THOSE ONLINE

21:39.036 --> 21:48.006
THAT MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH THAT
LOSS. FATHER, THANK YOU THAT AS

21:48.006 --> 21:50.675
YOU REACH YOUR HAND TOWARDS
THOSE WHO ARE SORROWING AND ARE

21:50.675 --> 21:54.291
IN NEED OF HEALING RIGHT
NOW, YOU BRING A POWER OF

21:54.291 --> 22:00.185
UNDERSTANDING YOUR PRESENCE AND
BEING IN YOUR PRESENCE. LET THE

22:00.185 --> 22:05.105
WORD OF GOD RISE UP IN THEIR
HEARTS AND THEIR MINDS TO SPEAK

22:05.105 --> 22:10.685
YOUR TRUTH OF COMFORT, PEACE,
AND UNDERSTANDING. MAY THE POWER

22:10.685 --> 22:15.695
OF YOUR SPIRIT REMOVE THE
BARRIERS AND THE BURDENS AND MAY

22:15.695 --> 22:20.705
THE POWER OF YOUR ANOINTING AND
YOUR GRACE GIVE THEM KNOWLEDGE

22:20.705 --> 22:26.226
OF YOUR WILL OF GOOD. AND FATHER
GOD, THEY MIGHT KNOW YOU ARE

22:26.226 --> 22:31.776
PRESENT EVEN IN THEIR SORROW AND
YOU ARE PRESENT TO HEAL AND TO

22:31.776 --> 22:39.066
RESTORE THAT THE OPPRESSOR
CANNOT OPPRESS, BUT DELIVER AND

22:39.066 --> 22:44.135
WE DECLARE IT IN THE NAME OF
JESUS. AMEN. AMEN. THANK YOU,

22:44.135 --> 22:48.455
PASTOR KEITH. I APPRECIATE THAT
MUCH. HALLELUJAH. PRAISE GOD.

22:48.455 --> 22:51.605
THANK YOU, JESUS. HALLELUJAH.
WE'VE TAKEN A LITTLE TIME

22:51.605 --> 22:55.746
TONIGHT, BUT THAT'S OKAY. PRAISE
GOD. WE'VE GOT TO DO WHAT THE

22:55.746 --> 22:59.612
LORD DIRECTS. IF I DON'T EVEN
GET TO MY MESSAGE, THAT'S OKAY.

23:00.846 --> 23:04.017
HALLELUJAH. WELL, LET'S DO THIS.
I THINK WE'RE DONE HERE. WHY

23:04.017 --> 23:06.086
DON'T YOU SHAKE HANDS
AND SAY, IT'S GOOD

23:06.086 --> 23:08.488
TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

23:09.388 --> 23:54.502
(MUSIC)

23:56.502 --> 23:58.672
WELL WELCOME TO THE HOUSE
OF THE LORD TONIGHT.

23:58.672 --> 24:00.594
ISN'T IT AMAZING WHEN JESUS

24:00.594 --> 24:06.684
SHOWS UP AND MEETS EVERY NEED?
I JUST LOVE IT. HOW RANDOM IS

24:06.695 --> 24:11.046
GRAPHICS? THAT'S JUST AWESOME.
GOD JUST KNOWS WHAT'S IN YOUR

24:11.046 --> 24:13.385
HEART. HE KNOWS WHAT'S IN OUR
THOUGHTS AND OUR MINDS. HE'S

24:13.385 --> 24:18.006
GOING TO MEET US WHERE WE ARE. I
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND SHARE

24:18.006 --> 24:20.645
WITH YOU SOMETHING THAT HELPED
ME LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT

24:20.645 --> 24:24.694
WHAT IT MEANS TO WALK BY FAITH
AND NOT BY SIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY

24:24.694 --> 24:28.986
PETRA FANS OUT THERE? RIGHT,
I GOT A LITTLE LYRIC IN THERE.

24:28.986 --> 24:31.865
WELL, IT'S OFFERING TIME AND
ALLOW ME JUST A MINUTE TO SHARE

24:31.865 --> 24:36.306
PROVERBS 3, 5 AND 6 ARE
SCRIPTURES THAT AREN'T TYPICALLY

24:36.306 --> 24:39.576
ASSOCIATED WITH GIVING OR
EXPLAINING HOW KINGDOM FINANCES

24:39.576 --> 24:44.645
WORK. BUT THEY REALLY HELPED
ME GO BEYOND MY OWN THINKING TO

24:44.645 --> 24:47.855
ACHIEVE A CLOSER WALK WITH GOD
AND A MORE FULFILLING CHRISTIAN

24:47.855 --> 24:50.766
LIFE. AND I THINK THAT'S WHY I
THINK THAT'S WHY YOU'VE TURNED

24:50.766 --> 24:53.885
IN TUNED IN, EXCUSE ME. AND I
THINK THAT'S WHY ALL OF US ARE

24:53.885 --> 24:57.816
HERE TO GO A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
TO GOD AND LEARN A LITTLE BIT

24:57.816 --> 25:02.435
MORE ABOUT OUR CHRISTIAN LIFE.
PROVERBS 3:5 AND 6 IS UP ON THE

25:02.435 --> 25:06.546
BOARD. PROVERBS 3 SAYS, "TRUST
IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.

25:06.546 --> 25:10.106
DO NOT DEPEND ON YOUR OWN
UNDERSTANDING." AND VERSE 6

25:10.106 --> 25:15.965
SAYS, "SEEK HIS WILL AND ALL YOU
DO, AND HE WILL SHOW YOU WHICH

25:15.965 --> 25:18.695
PATH TO TAKE." I'M JUST GONNA
TAKE A BRIEF MOMENT AND REREAD

25:18.695 --> 25:22.205
THOSE. "TRUST IN THE LORD WITH
ALL YOUR HEART. DO NOT DEPEND ON

25:22.205 --> 25:26.496
YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. SEEK HIS
WILL AND ALL YOU DO, AND HE WILL

25:26.496 --> 25:30.576
SHOW YOU WHICH PATH TO TAKE."
PLEASE KEEP THAT SCRIPTURE UP.

25:30.576 --> 25:34.026
THESE ARE FANTASTIC VERSES FROM
A LIFE-CHANGING CHAPTER IN THE

25:34.026 --> 25:37.445
BIBLE, PROVERBS 3. I WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THAT ON A

25:37.445 --> 25:40.506
FREQUENT BASIS. BUT WHAT DO
THEY HAVE TO DO WITH TITHES AND

25:40.506 --> 25:46.685
OFFERINGS? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED.
BACK IN 1990, AFTER TASHA AND I

25:46.685 --> 25:52.596
GOT MARRIED, WE WERE, AND STILL
ARE, MADLY IN LOVE. MY WIFE READ

25:52.596 --> 25:56.286
MY NOTES. SHE TOLD ME NOT TO SAY
THAT LOUDLY. WE WERE MADLY IN

25:56.286 --> 25:59.496
LOVE WITH EACH OTHER. WE WERE
MADLY IN LOVE WITH GOD TOO. WHAT

25:59.496 --> 26:02.105
WAS REALLY COOL IS WE WERE
CONNECTED TO THESE TWO AMAZING

26:02.105 --> 26:05.836
PEOPLE, HANK AND BRENDA
KUNNEMAN, LONG BEFORE THEY WERE

26:05.836 --> 26:08.675
ORDAINED AS PASTORS AND BEFORE
THEY STARTED LORD OF HOSTS

26:08.675 --> 26:15.786
CHURCH. WE WERE LEARNING MORE
EVERY DAY ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO

26:15.786 --> 26:20.586
LIVE FOR GOD. BACK THEN WHEN I
WAS REASONABLY NEW IN THE FAITH,

26:20.586 --> 26:24.605
IT WAS EASY FOR ME TO LEAN ON
MY OWN UNDERSTANDING. I'M A

26:24.605 --> 26:29.586
THINKER, I'M A PROCESSOR. SO
GOD HAD TO MAKE SENSE TO ME. AND

26:29.586 --> 26:32.016
SOMETHING HAPPENED THAT MADE
NO SENSE AT ALL. AND I WANT TO

26:32.016 --> 26:36.306
SHARE IT WITH YOU JUST FOR A
BRIEF MOMENT. THE REALITY THAT I

26:36.306 --> 26:39.875
LIVED IN BACK THEN MAY BE THE
SAME REALITY THAT SOME OF US IN

26:39.875 --> 26:43.175
HERE OR SOME OF YOU ONLINE LIVE
IN, WHERE WE LEAN ON OUR OWN

26:43.175 --> 26:46.086
UNDERSTANDING. WELL, AT THAT
TIME, MY WIFE AND I, WE WERE

26:46.086 --> 26:51.756
FLAT BROKE. WE HAD NO MONEY.
NOTHING IN OUR BANK ACCOUNT. AND

26:51.756 --> 26:55.266
WE HAD TO KEEP DRIVING ABOUT
SEVEN MILES EACH WAY EACH DAY TO

26:55.266 --> 26:58.806
GO TO WORK, SO WE COULD MAKE
MORE MONEY TO PUT INTO OUR BANK

26:58.806 --> 27:02.736
ACCOUNT THAT DIDN'T REALLY GROW
ALL THAT MUCH. WE WERE IN PRETTY

27:02.736 --> 27:10.326
ROUGH SHAPE. IN MY SLEEK, BROWN,
STICK SHIFT NISSAN SENTRA,

27:10.326 --> 27:13.415
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)

27:13.415 --> 27:17.405
THAT VEHICLE WAS ON EMPTY. AND I
DON'T MEAN LIKE AT THE BEGINNING

27:17.405 --> 27:22.836
OF THE E PART ON THE EMPTY. THE
EMPTY WAS PEGGED. I LITERALLY

27:22.836 --> 27:27.665
HAD NO GAS. AND I DROVE THAT
VEHICLE FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE

27:27.665 --> 27:31.806
WEEK AFTER WE LAID HANDS ON IT
AND PRAYED. WE JUST LAID HANDS

27:31.806 --> 27:34.925
ON IT AND PRAYED. WE THANKED
GOD FOR THE PROVISION. WE HAD NO

27:34.925 --> 27:37.685
MONEY. WE COULDN'T EVEN GO INTO
DEBT ON A CREDIT CARD TO PUT

27:37.685 --> 27:41.256
MONEY IN THE GAS TANK, TO PUT
GAS IN THE GAS TANK. BUT THAT'S

27:41.256 --> 27:46.355
HOW GOD WORKED. HE CAME THROUGH.
MY OWN UNDERSTANDING SAW A

27:46.355 --> 27:52.625
PEGGED GAS GAUGE AND IT MADE NO
SENSE AT ALL TO ME HOW WE WERE

27:52.625 --> 27:56.316
ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR LIVES
IN THAT VEHICLE. I COULDN'T

27:56.316 --> 28:00.635
COMPREHEND IT. AS THAT
EXPERIENCE HAPPENED AND AFTER, I

28:00.635 --> 28:04.355
LEARNED THAT GOD HONORS HIS
WORD. AND THAT'S WHY I WANT TO

28:04.355 --> 28:08.675
CONNECT THIS TO OUR GIVING.
WE WERE TRUSTING GOD WITH OUR

28:08.675 --> 28:12.395
FINANCES AT THAT TIME. AND WE
WERE LEARNING ABOUT TITHING, AT

28:12.395 --> 28:15.756
LEAST I WAS LEARNING ABOUT
TITHING. WE CHOSE TO TITHE, WE

28:15.756 --> 28:18.336
CHOSE TO GIVE OFFERINGS WITH THE
SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE

28:18.336 --> 28:23.105
HAD, AND GOD MIRACULOUSLY
HONORED THAT. SO THAT'S MY

28:23.105 --> 28:26.346
STORY. AND I'LL BET YOU ONLINE,
AND THERE'S MANY PEOPLE IN THIS

28:26.346 --> 28:30.125
ROOM THAT HAVE A SIMILAR STORY,
BUT IF YOU'RE NOT AT THAT POINT

28:30.125 --> 28:34.596
IN YOUR LIFE WHERE YOU'RE ABLE
TO FULLY TRUST GOD WITH YOUR

28:34.596 --> 28:37.986
FINANCES FOR HIS PROVISION,
I WOULD CHALLENGE YOU TO

28:37.986 --> 28:42.905
RECONSIDER THAT AND LISTEN TO
HIS WORD. LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN

28:42.905 --> 28:47.526
UNDERSTANDING AND HE WILL DIRECT
ALL YOUR PATHS. IF WE COULD PUT

28:47.526 --> 28:53.286
THE OFFERING SLIDES UP, PLEASE.
THERE'S WAYS TO GIVE TO OUR

28:53.286 --> 28:56.766
MINISTRY. WHEN YOU GIVE TO OUR
MINISTRY, YOU'RE GIVING DIRECTLY

28:56.766 --> 29:00.635
TO THE LORD. WE PUT EVERY ONE
OF THOSE DOLLARS TO GOOD USE TO

29:00.635 --> 29:04.205
ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM. THERE'S
MANY WAYS TO GIVE. THERE'S

29:04.205 --> 29:07.026
USHERS IN THE AISLE. IF YOU NEED
AN OFFERING ENVELOPE, THEY'LL BE

29:07.026 --> 29:11.721
HAPPY TO GIVE YOU ONE. SOMETIMES
KINGDOM FINANCES ARE JUST HARD

29:11.721 --> 29:15.246
TO UNDERSTAND. AND SOMETIMES
IT'S DIFFICULT TO TRUST IN THE

29:15.246 --> 29:19.655
LORD WHEN OUR SITUATIONS ARE
DIFFICULT OR LOOK BLEAK. BUT

29:19.655 --> 29:23.885
TAKE IT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE,
MY SILLY STORY, THAT'S SUPER

29:23.885 --> 29:27.756
MEANINGFUL TO US ABOUT A DEAD
VEHICLE THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE

29:27.756 --> 29:33.155
GONE AN INCH. WE DROVE IT FOR
ALMOST A WEEK. LET THAT SINK IN

29:33.155 --> 29:38.375
FOR A MOMENT. AND WHEN YOU
CHOOSE TO STEP OVER INTO

29:38.375 --> 29:42.155
FOLLOWING GOD'S WORD WITH YOUR
TITHES AND WITH YOUR OFFERINGS,

29:42.155 --> 29:45.425
HE'S GOING TO DO MIRACULOUS
THINGS FOR YOU. HE'LL DIRECT

29:45.425 --> 29:50.375
YOUR PATH AND LIKE OURS, HE WILL
NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU.

29:50.375 --> 29:54.185
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU GIVE
AND YOU LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN

29:54.185 --> 29:57.846
UNDERSTANDING. I'M GOING TO
TAKE A MOMENT TO PRAY. HEAVENLY

29:57.846 --> 30:03.395
FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR EVERY
HEART THAT CAN HEAR MY VOICE

30:03.395 --> 30:07.786
RIGHT NOW. WHETHER IT'S LIVE
OR WHETHER IT'S IN THE FUTURE,

30:07.786 --> 30:12.256
LORD, TOUCH HEARTS AND MINDS
WITH YOUR WORD. LORD, GIVE

30:12.256 --> 30:15.105
PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
GROW IN YOU AND GROW IN THEIR

30:15.105 --> 30:20.175
UNDERSTANDING. HOLY SPIRIT, MOVE
AMONGST THE PEOPLE AND GIVE THEM

30:20.175 --> 30:25.425
AN OPPORTUNITY, LORD, TO PUT YOU
TO THE TEST BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU

30:25.425 --> 30:28.996
ARE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE THE
WORK THAT YOU BEGAN, LORD. LORD,

30:28.996 --> 30:32.865
I ASK THAT YOU WOULD MULTIPLY
EVERY DOLLAR, EVERY PENNY, BACK

30:32.865 --> 30:36.226
TO THE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO SOW
INTO THIS MINISTRY. LORD, AND

30:36.226 --> 30:39.076
PROSPER THIS MINISTRY AND
MULTIPLY THOSE DOLLARS TO

30:39.076 --> 30:42.526
ACHIEVE THE VISION THAT YOU HAVE
FOR LORD OF HOSTS, THAT YOU HAVE

30:42.526 --> 30:47.145
FOR PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA. WE
GIVE IT ALL TO YOU NOW IN JESUS'

30:47.145 --> 30:52.381
MIGHTY NAME, AMEN. AND I'M GOING
TO TURN IT OVER TO PASTOR DOUG.

30:56.925 --> 31:04.276
HALLELUJAH. OH, BEFORE I START
TONIGHT, I HAVE TO RECOGNIZE A

31:04.276 --> 31:07.215
DEAR FRIEND OF MINE, PASTOR
DAVE LEGGETT IS HERE. RAISE YOUR

31:07.215 --> 31:14.566
HAND, AND WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER
FOR OVER 40 YEARS NOW. AND MY

31:14.566 --> 31:17.925
WIFE AND I CELEBRATED OUR 39TH
ANNIVERSARY. I HOPE THAT'S

31:17.925 --> 31:21.288
RIGHT. I THINK THAT BACK. IF
SHE'S WATCHING, I DON'T KNOW,

31:21.288 --> 31:23.865
SHE COULDN'T BE HERE. SHE HAD
SOMETHING ELSE COME UP. BUT IF

31:23.865 --> 31:26.236
SHE'S WATCHING AND I GOT IT
WRONG, I'LL BE IN TROUBLE. BUT I

31:26.236 --> 31:30.945
THINK IT WAS 39 YEARS IN APRIL.
SOUNDS RIGHT. ANYWAY, PASTOR

31:30.945 --> 31:35.086
DAVE WAS- YOU LAUGH, PASTOR
ANTHONY. BUT AS THESE YEARS GO

31:35.086 --> 31:38.026
BY, THEY JUST FLY SO QUICKLY
THAT IT'S LIKE SOMETIMES HARD TO

31:38.026 --> 31:41.895
KEEP TRACK. BUT PASTOR DAVE WAS
INVOLVED WITH ANOTHER PASTOR IN

31:41.895 --> 31:46.276
OUR WEDDING 39 YEARS AGO. SO,
AND THEN I HAD KNOWN HIM A FEW

31:46.276 --> 31:49.185
YEARS BEFORE THAT. SO WE GO
BACK A WAYS. AND WHAT I DON'T

31:49.185 --> 31:54.586
UNDERSTAND IS HOW HE'S ONLY 45
YEARS OLD AND THAT ALL HAPPENED.

31:54.586 --> 32:00.076
BUT YOU KNOW, MIRACLES HAPPEN IN
THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ANYWAY, OH,

32:00.076 --> 32:05.355
BY THE WAY, I NEED TO SHOW
YOU A QUICK VIDEO CONCERNING

32:05.355 --> 32:09.135
FLASHPOINT THAT'S COMING
SEPTEMBER 10TH. IS THAT RIGHT?

32:09.135 --> 32:10.601
AM I RIGHT ON THE DATE?
SEPTEMBER 10TH,

32:10.601 --> 32:11.476
LET'S ROLL THAT, GUYS.

32:12.898 --> 32:15.915
I'M LORD OF HOSTS, GENE BAILEY
HERE. TERI AND I ARE EXCITED. WE

32:15.915 --> 32:19.486
ARE COMING TO OMAHA NEXT WEEK,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS GOING

32:19.486 --> 32:23.236
ON IN OMAHA? WHAT ELSE IS
GOING ON? WE ARE GOING TO BE

32:23.236 --> 32:27.586
CONNECTING LIVE ON FLASHPOINT
THAT NIGHT. WE'LL BE CONNECTING

32:27.586 --> 32:31.635
LIVE BACK HERE TO DALLAS AT THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.

32:31.635 --> 32:35.086
THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE'S BEEN
A MIDTERM. WE'RE GONNA CONNECT.

32:35.086 --> 32:39.046
FLASHPOINT HAS A BOOTH THERE.
WE'RE THERE THE NIGHT BEFORE.

32:39.046 --> 32:42.705
WE'RE GONNA FLY IN THAT DAY TO
BE THERE WITH YOU THAT NIGHT.

32:42.705 --> 32:46.665
BUT DURING THE EVENING, WE'RE
GOING TO CONNECT BACK TO DALLAS.

32:46.665 --> 32:49.695
WE'LL BE CONNECTING LIVE, GOING
BACK AND FORTH. SO IT'S GONNA BE

32:49.695 --> 32:53.056
EXCITING TIME, A FIRST EVER
THERE, AND I THINK THERE'S NO

32:53.056 --> 32:56.655
BETTER PLACE THAN TO DO IT AT
LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH IN OMAHA.

32:56.655 --> 33:00.526
THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING
FLASHPOINT. YOU'RE OUR FAMILY.

33:00.526 --> 33:05.115
NOW MAKE SURE YOU SHOW UP AT THE
LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH FOR OPENING

33:05.115 --> 33:08.596
THE HEAVENS COMING UP NEXT
WEEK. IT'S GONNA BE AMAZING. I'M

33:08.596 --> 33:10.935
TELLING YOU, YOU NEED TO BE
THERE OR HANK WILL DRESS UP

33:10.935 --> 33:17.776
FUNNY. AMEN. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE
PLANNING ON COMING? OKAY, WE'LL

33:17.776 --> 33:20.294
HAVE SEATING FOR YOU. IT'LL BE
GREAT. I THINK IT'LL BE GREAT TO

33:20.294 --> 33:25.546
HAVE IT HERE. AND PASTOR DAVE'S
FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS. I'M SORRY,

33:25.546 --> 33:27.615
PASTOR DAVE, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE
SO CLOSE TO YOU THIS YEAR, BUT

33:29.415 --> 33:33.615
WE'RE STILL GOING FORWARD.
HALLELUJAH. WELL, TONIGHT AS WE

33:33.615 --> 33:35.776
START, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR
WE'RE GONNA GET ON THIS. I WON'T

33:35.776 --> 33:37.530
KEEP YOU LATE. I MEAN, I'M GONNA
TRY AND GET YOU OUT OF HERE

33:37.530 --> 33:43.516
BEFORE MIDNIGHT, BUT I KNOW IT'S
A SCHOOL NIGHT. SO, IT'S HARD TO

33:43.516 --> 33:48.405
BELIEVE SCHOOL STARTED ALREADY,
BUT WE'RE INTO SEPTEMBER AND I

33:48.405 --> 33:52.846
WON'T KEEP YOU TOO LATE. I JUST
FELT AS WE WOULD BEGIN TONIGHT

33:52.846 --> 33:58.905
THAT WE NEED TO KIND OF REHEARSE
THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING BIBLE

33:58.905 --> 34:01.486
PROPHECY OR WHAT THEOLOGIANS
WOULD CALL ESCHATOLOGY.

34:01.486 --> 34:07.246
ESCHATOLOGY REALLY MEANS JUST
THE STUDY OF THE LAST THINGS.

34:07.246 --> 34:11.715
AND WHEN WE LOOK AT THE STUDY OF
ESCHATOLOGY IN THE BIBLE, WE'RE

34:11.715 --> 34:14.565
TALKING ABOUT THOSE EVENTS THAT
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT AS WE'VE GONE

34:14.565 --> 34:17.326
THROUGH THE BOOK OF REVELATION
SO FAR. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE

34:17.326 --> 34:19.635
RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THE TRIBULATION

34:19.635 --> 34:22.846
PERIOD, THE SECOND COMING
OF JESUS CHRIST, WHICH IS A

34:22.846 --> 34:26.715
SEPARATE EVENT FROM THE RAPTURE,
THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. WE

34:26.715 --> 34:30.945
SPENT TIME ON THE GREAT WHITE
THRONE JUDGMENT, AND THEN

34:30.945 --> 34:33.766
TONIGHT WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING
AT THE CREATION OF THE NEW

34:33.766 --> 34:38.715
HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH. AND
SO THAT'S IMPORTANT, BUT LET ME

34:38.715 --> 34:42.795
JUST SUMMARIZE FOUR BENEFITS
OF BIBLE PROPHECY BEFORE WE DO

34:42.795 --> 34:45.706
THAT. IF YOU'LL PUT THAT SCREEN
UP, I JUST WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT

34:45.706 --> 34:48.376
FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE
SAY, "WELL, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT

34:48.376 --> 34:52.032
TO LOOK AT REVELATION?" WELL,
ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU, IT'S

34:52.032 --> 34:55.516
NOT EVEN UP THERE ON THE SCREEN,
BECAUSE IF YOU WERE WITH US IN

34:55.516 --> 34:58.786
THE BEGINNING, WE LOOKED AT
REVELATION CHAPTER ONE, AND THAT

34:58.786 --> 35:04.425
IS THE EXPLANATION THAT IT'S
THE ONLY BOOK IN THE BIBLE THAT

35:04.425 --> 35:10.365
TELLS US THERE'S A BLESSING FOR
THOSE WHO READ AND KEEP AND OBEY

35:10.365 --> 35:14.505
THAT BOOK. SO IF THERE WASN'T
ANY OTHER REASON, THAT'S ONE

35:14.505 --> 35:18.045
GOOD REASON. IT'S A BLESSING
TO DO IT, AND GOD IS A SPECIAL

35:18.045 --> 35:21.135
BLESSING IN STORE IF YOU READ,
KEEP, AND OBEY THOSE WORDS. SO

35:21.135 --> 35:24.016
THAT'S WHY WE'RE TAKING TIME TO
LOOK AT THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

35:24.016 --> 35:27.585
BUT LET'S PUT THAT SCREEN UP
THERE IF YOU COULD. REASONS TO

35:27.585 --> 35:30.916
STUDY BIBLE PROPHECY. NUMBER
ONE, IT GIVES HOPE AND COMFORT.

35:30.916 --> 35:34.246
KNOWING GOD'S PLAN FOR MANKIND
BRINGS PEACE AND ENCOURAGEMENT

35:34.246 --> 35:37.155
CONCERNING OUR FUTURE. WE ALL
LIKE TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT OUR

35:37.155 --> 35:42.195
FUTURE. JOHN 14, VERSES 1-3,
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS VERSE.

35:42.195 --> 35:44.655
IT'S USED A LOT OF TIMES
AT CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE OR

35:44.655 --> 35:46.996
FUNERALS. IT SAYS, "LET NOT YOUR
HEART BE TROUBLED, BUT BELIEVE

35:46.996 --> 35:50.385
IN GOD. BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.
IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY

35:50.385 --> 35:55.786
MANSIONS." AND IT'S A PROMISE
THAT HE WENT TO PREPARE A PLACE

35:55.786 --> 35:59.519
FOR US AND WE HAVE A FUTURE
HOME WITH HIM, AMEN? SO THAT'S A

35:59.519 --> 36:01.485
COMFORT, THAT'S AN
ENCOURAGEMENT. LET'S PUT THAT

36:01.485 --> 36:03.795
SCREEN BACK UP THERE. YOU CAN
JUST KEEP THAT ONE UP THERE IF

36:03.795 --> 36:09.585
YOU WOULD. AND NUMBER TWO,
PROPHECY IS PROMINENT. AND IT

36:09.585 --> 36:16.246
TAKES A BIG PORTION OF SCRIPTURE
TO TALK ABOUT PROPHECY. THERE

36:16.246 --> 36:23.505
ARE 216 CHAPTERS IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT. AND IN THOSE 216

36:23.505 --> 36:28.786
CHAPTERS, YOU WILL FIND 318
REFERENCES TO THE SECOND COMING

36:28.786 --> 36:32.985
OF CHRIST. THAT'S OVER ONE
REFERENCE ABOUT THE SECOND

36:32.985 --> 36:38.775
COMING FOR EVERY CHAPTER. IT'S
ALMOST ONE AND A THIRD. THAT'S A

36:38.775 --> 36:42.166
LOT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO GOD.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO GOD SHOULD

36:42.166 --> 36:47.865
BE IMPORTANT TO US, AMEN?
AND OUT OF THE TOTAL 2,500

36:47.865 --> 36:51.286
PROPHECIES THAT ARE WRITTEN
IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE THAT I'M

36:51.286 --> 36:57.346
HOLDING, THEOLOGIANS TELL US
APPROXIMATELY 2,000 HAVE ALREADY

36:57.346 --> 37:03.135
COME TO PASS. THAT'S 80% OF THE
PROPHECIES THAT ARE DETAILED IN

37:03.135 --> 37:07.005
THIS BOOK HAVE COME TO PASS IN
PERFECTION. THAT LEAVES ABOUT

37:07.005 --> 37:14.536
500 TO GO. BECAUSE OF THAT, I
THINK WE HAVE ASSURANCE THAT

37:14.536 --> 37:18.646
THOSE OTHER 500 PROPHECIES ARE
GOING TO COME TO PASS. AMEN? WE

37:18.646 --> 37:22.876
HAVE A GOOD TRACK RECORD
WITH GOD. ONE PROPHECY TO BE

37:22.876 --> 37:26.356
FULFILLED YET IS PHILIPPIANS 2,
VERSES 10 THROUGH 11. IT SAYS,

37:26.356 --> 37:31.126
"AT THE NAME OF JESUS, EVERY
KNEE WILL BOW "AND EVERY TONGUE

37:31.126 --> 37:36.195
WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST
IS LORD." THAT'S A PROPHETIC

37:36.195 --> 37:42.016
SCRIPTURE. SO THAT MEANS THAT
EVERY PERSON THAT EVER LIVED ON

37:42.016 --> 37:47.686
THIS EARTH WILL HAVE TO SOMEDAY
BOW THEIR KNEE AND CONFESS THAT

37:47.686 --> 37:51.976
JESUS IS LORD. IF THEY DIDN'T DO
IT ON EARTH, THEY WILL DO IT AT

37:51.976 --> 37:57.016
JUDGMENT TIME. HMM. IT'S A
SOBERING THOUGHT. AND OF COURSE

37:57.016 --> 37:59.806
WE KNOW THAT THE GIFT OF
PROPHECY IS STILL IN OPERATION

37:59.806 --> 38:02.572
TODAY. AND GOD IS STILL SPEAKING
PROPHETICALLY AS LONG AS THE

38:02.572 --> 38:06.706
CHURCH IS HERE ON THIS
EARTH. AND THEN NUMBER THREE,

38:06.706 --> 38:09.945
UNDERSTANDING PROPHECY, PUT THAT
SLIDE BACK UP. IF YOU WOULD,

38:09.945 --> 38:13.786
SHOULD ENCOURAGE US TO LIVE
WHOLLY, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE

38:13.786 --> 38:17.985
FUTURE EVENTS AND ETERNITY
SHOULD HELP US TO CHOOSE TO LIVE

38:17.985 --> 38:22.695
A GODLY LIFE. WE WANT TO STAY ON
TRACK WITH GOD, AMEN? AND ALSO

38:22.695 --> 38:25.186
IT SHOULD HELP US TO HAVE
COMPASSION FOR THOSE THAT ARE

38:25.186 --> 38:30.585
WITHOUT GOD. SO IT'S AN
IMPORTANT THING, ROMANS 12:1,

38:30.585 --> 38:33.496
JUST GIVE YOU A SCRIPTURE
TO GO WITH IT. I BESEECH YOU

38:33.496 --> 38:36.045
THEREFORE, BRETHREN, BY THE
MERCIES OF GOD THAT YOU PRESENT

38:36.045 --> 38:40.275
YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE,
HOLY ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, WHICH IS

38:40.275 --> 38:46.155
YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE. WE WANT
TO DO THAT. DO NOT BE CONFORMED

38:46.155 --> 38:49.965
TO THIS WORLD, BUT BE
TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF

38:49.965 --> 38:54.795
YOUR MIND. AMEN. SO WE NEED TO
BE MOTIVATED BY UNDERSTANDING

38:54.795 --> 38:59.146
PROPHECY. AND THEN FINALLY,
NUMBER FOUR, UNDERSTANDING BIBLE

38:59.146 --> 39:04.965
PROPHECY IS A PROTECTION AGAINST
FALSE TEACHING. IT'S IMPORTANT

39:04.965 --> 39:07.666
TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND BIBLICAL
TRUTH. AND WITH SO MUCH OF THE

39:07.666 --> 39:11.715
BIBLE BEING PROPHECY, WE NEED
TO UNDERSTAND IT. SOME CHURCHES

39:11.715 --> 39:14.775
JUST STAY AWAY FROM IT
ALTOGETHER. THEY, FOR WHATEVER

39:14.775 --> 39:21.286
REASON, DON'T WANT TO TEACH IT.
BUT 2 PETER 2:1, I'M GOING TO

39:21.286 --> 39:23.956
READ OUT OF THE NEW LIVING,
WHICH IS PASTOR ANTHONY'S

39:23.956 --> 39:29.536
FAVORITE TRANSLATION. 2 PETER
2:1 SAYS, "BUT THERE WERE ALSO

39:29.536 --> 39:33.496
FALSE PROPHETS "IN ISRAEL, JUST
AS THERE WILL BE FALSE TEACHERS

39:33.496 --> 39:37.516
AMONG YOU." THAT SAYS THERE'S
GONNA BE FALSE TEACHERS IN THIS

39:37.516 --> 39:41.445
DAY, IN THE CHURCH AGE. THE
BIBLE SAYS, 2 PETER HERE,

39:41.445 --> 39:44.326
PETER'S SAYING, "THEY WILL
CLEVERLY TEACH DESTRUCTIVE

39:44.326 --> 39:49.335
HERESIES." THAT'S UNTRUTHS,
THAT'S FALSEHOODS. "AND THEY

39:49.335 --> 39:53.326
EVEN DENY THE MASTER WHO BOUGHT
THEM. "AND IN THIS WAY, THEY

39:53.326 --> 39:56.746
BRING SUDDEN DESTRUCTION ON
THEMSELVES." THERE'S FALSE

39:56.746 --> 40:02.206
TEACHERS RIGHT HERE IN THIS
CITY. THEY'LL TELL YOU FROM THE

40:02.206 --> 40:07.335
PULPITS THAT THERE IS NO HELL.
THEY'LL TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN

40:07.335 --> 40:11.655
LIVE ANY WAY YOU WANT AND
BECAUSE OF GRACE, YOU CAN MAKE

40:11.655 --> 40:16.215
IT TO HEAVEN. THEY WON'T MENTION
THAT THERE'S A HELL. THEY TWIST

40:16.215 --> 40:19.514
AND MANIPULATE SCRIPTURE TO
THEIR OWN LIKING. THEY ADVERTISE

40:19.514 --> 40:25.181
ON THEIR CHURCH WEBSITES THAT
THEY ARE A DIVERSE CHURCH THAT

40:25.181 --> 40:28.302
WILL GLADLY MARRY A MAN WITH
ANOTHER MAN OR A WOMAN WITH

40:28.302 --> 40:32.681
ANOTHER WOMAN, GOING COMPLETELY
AGAINST SCRIPTURE. THEY PROMOTE

40:32.681 --> 40:36.791
ABORTION AS THE RIGHT THAT EVERY
WOMAN HAS AN OPTION TO CHOOSE

40:36.791 --> 40:41.561
WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER BODY,
NOT CONSIDERING THE BABY. IT'S A

40:41.561 --> 40:44.621
SHAMEFUL THING THAT THEY'RE
CALLED CHRISTIAN PASTORS. IT

40:44.621 --> 40:48.329
REALLY IS. BUT THOSE ARE THE
TIMES THAT WE'RE LIVING IN, AND

40:48.329 --> 40:52.211
IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE
TIMES THAT PETER WAS TALKING

40:52.211 --> 40:55.722
ABOUT THERE. THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN
FALSE TEACHERS, AND THAT'S WHY

40:55.722 --> 40:58.811
ACTUALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE
FIRST SEVEN LETTERS TO THE

40:58.811 --> 41:03.911
CHURCHES THAT WERE WRITTEN AND
PENNED BY THE APOSTLE JOHN, HE

41:03.911 --> 41:08.442
TALKS A LOT IN THERE ABOUT BEING
WARNED ABOUT FALSE TEACHING THAT

41:08.442 --> 41:12.431
CAN CREEP INTO THE CHURCH. AND
MUCH OTHER OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

41:12.431 --> 41:16.242
TALKS ABOUT THAT. WELL, ANYWAY,
WE'RE ON REVELATION CHAPTER ONE

41:16.242 --> 41:20.351
TONIGHT, SO WE'LL JUST MOVE
FORWARD. I WANNA START WITH OUR

41:20.351 --> 41:22.811
TIMELINE THAT WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING AT EVERY TIME WE'VE BEEN

41:22.811 --> 41:27.791
TALKING, BUT BECAUSE WE'VE KIND
OF BEEN JUST GOING THROUGH THIS,

41:27.791 --> 41:30.461
I WANNA SAY A LITTLE
IRREGULARLY, JUST AS WE HAVE

41:30.461 --> 41:34.661
TIME AND I'M ABLE TO TEACH, I
FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO JUST GO

41:34.661 --> 41:38.172
BACK AND REVIEW WHERE WE'RE AT
ON THE TIMELINE. SO HERE'S THE

41:38.172 --> 41:41.411
TIMELINE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE

41:41.411 --> 41:44.831
CHURCH AGE, REVELATION 1-3,
THE SEVEN LETTERS TO THE SEVEN

41:44.831 --> 41:49.572
CHURCHES THAT ACTUALLY APPLY TO
THE CHURCH AGE THAT WE'RE LIVING

41:49.572 --> 41:53.952
IN NOW. AND THEN REVELATION 4
AND 5 MOVES INTO THE RAPTURE OF

41:53.952 --> 42:00.402
THE CHURCH. WE TALKED ABOUT THE
SCRIPTURE THAT SO MANY TIMES IS

42:00.402 --> 42:03.911
USED TO DESCRIBE THE RAPTURE.
FIRST THESSALONIANS 4:16, "THE

42:03.911 --> 42:07.632
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE

42:07.632 --> 42:09.911
VOICE OF AN ARCHANGEL, THE
TRUMPET OF GOD, AND THE DEAD IN

42:09.911 --> 42:15.161
CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. AND THEN
THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN

42:15.161 --> 42:18.402
WILL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH
THE LORD TO MEET HIM IN THE

42:18.402 --> 42:22.817
CLOUDS, IN THE AIR. AND SO
THAT'S THE TIME WHEN IF YOU ARE

42:22.817 --> 42:27.132
A BELIEVER AND YOU'RE ALIVE
AT THAT TIME, THE DEAD WILL GO

42:27.132 --> 42:31.902
FIRST, THEIR BODIES WILL COME
BACK TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW, I

42:31.902 --> 42:34.422
CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT, HOW
SUPERNATURALLY THAT WORKS, THOSE

42:34.422 --> 42:38.081
ASHES, WHEREVER THEIR BODIES ARE
BURIED, WHEREVER THEY'RE AT, GOD

42:38.081 --> 42:41.974
BRINGS THAT BACK TOGETHER. BUT
IF HE COULD FORM A BABY IN A

42:41.974 --> 42:46.751
MOTHER'S WOMB, HE CAN FORM US
AGAIN WHEN WE COME BACK OUT OF

42:46.751 --> 42:52.842
THE GRAVE. BUT ANYWAY, HOWEVER
THAT HAPPENS, SUPERNATURALLY GOD

42:52.842 --> 42:56.981
DOES THAT. THE DEAD GO FIRST,
THEN THOSE OF US THAT ARE ALIVE

42:56.981 --> 43:03.072
AND REMAIN WILL GO TO BE WITH
JESUS AT THAT TIME. AND OUR

43:03.072 --> 43:07.271
SPIRIT MAN, IF WE'VE ALREADY
PASSED, IS ALREADY IN HEAVEN. SO

43:07.271 --> 43:10.751
AT THAT POINT, THE BODY THAT
COMES OUT OF THE GRAVE, FOR

43:10.751 --> 43:14.592
THOSE THAT ARE DEAD, ARE
REUNITED WITH THOSE SPIRITS THAT

43:14.592 --> 43:18.672
ARE ALREADY IN HEAVEN. SO JUST
TO KIND OF EXPLAIN THAT. AND WE

43:18.672 --> 43:22.481
TALKED ABOUT IN DETAIL ABOUT
THE DIFFERENT TEACHINGS OF

43:22.481 --> 43:25.541
PRE-TRIBULATION AND
MID-TRIBULATION AND

43:25.541 --> 43:28.541
POST-TRIBULATION RAPTURES.
THERE'S DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ON

43:28.541 --> 43:32.472
THAT. I BELIEVE IN THE
PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE. THIS

43:32.472 --> 43:36.282
CHURCH TEACHES THAT. WE COULD
GO INTO A REAL DETAILED STUDY ON

43:36.282 --> 43:38.681
THAT, BUT I'VE ALREADY TAUGHT
ON IT, SO I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO

43:38.681 --> 43:43.032
THAT IN DETAIL TONIGHT. BUT THEN
WE MOVE INTO REVELATIONS CHAPTER

43:43.032 --> 43:47.891
6-18. THE MAJORITY OF REVELATION
IS SPENT TALKING ABOUT THE

43:47.891 --> 43:51.612
SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION. THE
CHURCH REMAINS IN HEAVEN DURING

43:51.612 --> 43:56.922
THAT TIME. DURING THAT TIME, THE
ANTICHRIST COMES ON THE SCENE

43:56.922 --> 44:01.811
AND HE MAKES A PEACE AGREEMENT
WITH ISRAEL. AND THE FIRST THREE

44:01.811 --> 44:04.842
AND A HALF YEARS OF THE
TRIBULATION PERIOD IS RELATIVELY

44:04.842 --> 44:10.302
CALM AND EVERYTHING IS GOING
ALONG FAIRLY GOOD. THERE'S SOME

44:10.302 --> 44:13.690
DESTRUCTION THAT HAPPENS, BUT
WHEN WE GET TO THE SECOND THREE

44:13.690 --> 44:18.041
AND A HALF YEAR PERIOD, THERE
IS A PERIOD OF TIME CALLED THE

44:18.041 --> 44:21.612
GREAT TRIBULATION. AND THAT'S
WHEN THE ANTICHRIST BREAKS THE

44:21.612 --> 44:26.802
COVENANT WITH ISRAEL AND THE
REBUILT TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM IS

44:26.802 --> 44:30.581
OCCUPIED BY THE ANTICHRIST
AND HE DEMANDS WORSHIP AT THAT

44:30.581 --> 44:34.961
POINT. AND THAT PERIOD BRINGS
THE MOST SEVERE JUDGMENTS ON THE

44:34.961 --> 44:38.621
EARTH. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN
DETAIL. THE SEALS, THE TRUMPETS,

44:38.621 --> 44:43.331
AND THE BOWLS HAPPENED DURING
THAT TIME. BUT WE ALSO SAID IT'S

44:43.331 --> 44:47.862
AMAZING THAT GOD OFFERS SUCH
A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR

44:47.862 --> 44:52.811
SALVATION DURING THAT TIME.
THERE'S ALSO 144,000 JEWISH

44:52.811 --> 44:57.192
WITNESSES THAT ARE ON THIS EARTH
DURING THAT TIME WITNESSING OF

44:57.192 --> 45:02.182
GOD'S LOVE AND GRACE AND MERCY.
144,000 BILLY GRAHAM'S ARE GONNA

45:02.182 --> 45:07.211
BE CIRCULATING THE EARTH DURING
THAT TIME. AND PEOPLE THAT ARE

45:07.211 --> 45:11.262
ALIVE ON THE EARTH AT THAT TIME
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE

45:11.262 --> 45:13.992
JESUS. THERE'S ALSO
TWO WITNESSES THAT ARE

45:13.992 --> 45:19.001
SUPERNATURALLY BROUGHT TO BEAR
IN JERUSALEM DURING THAT TIME,

45:19.001 --> 45:22.871
AND FOR 1260 DAYS THEY DO
SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES. THEY'RE

45:22.871 --> 45:28.362
FINALLY KILLED, BUT HERE'S
WHAT'S AMAZING IS THE BIBLE SAYS

45:28.362 --> 45:32.081
THAT, OR JOHN SAID IN THE BIBLE,
THAT THESE WITNESSES WILL BE

45:32.081 --> 45:36.012
APPARENT TO THE WORLD, THEIR
DEATH, AND THEN THEY'LL BE

45:36.012 --> 45:41.351
RESURRECTED AFTER THREE DAYS.
THE WORLD WILL SEE IT. THAT

45:41.351 --> 45:45.461
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO
EVEN HAPPEN HAD WE NOT BEEN IN

45:45.461 --> 45:49.452
THIS TIMELINE, IN THIS
GENERATION. I MEAN, IT JUST

45:49.452 --> 45:53.472
COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. I MEAN,
WE HAD THE ABILITY TO SEE THE

45:53.472 --> 45:56.652
WORLD ON TELEVISION BACK IN
THE '70S AND '80S. WE COULD SEE

45:56.652 --> 46:01.362
THINGS HAPPEN IN REAL TIME. BUT
NOW WITH THE INTERNET, THE WORLD

46:01.362 --> 46:04.961
CAN SEE THESE THINGS IN REAL
TIME. SO IT'S AN AMAZING TIME

46:04.961 --> 46:09.251
THAT WE LIVE IN. AND THEN THE
THIRD THING THAT HAPPENS, GOD

46:09.251 --> 46:13.181
WILL SEND AN ANGEL TO PROCLAIM
THE GOSPEL DURING THAT TIME AND

46:13.181 --> 46:16.271
HE'LL GO AROUND THE WORLD
PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL. SO

46:16.271 --> 46:19.811
PEOPLE HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR,
EVEN DURING THE TRIBULATION,

46:19.811 --> 46:23.652
EVEN IF THEY SHOOK THEIR FIST AT
GOD BEFORE THE TRIBULATION BEGAN

46:23.652 --> 46:25.842
AND THEY DIDN'T GO ON THE
RAPTURE, THEY'LL STILL HAVE A

46:25.842 --> 46:30.702
SECOND CHANCE THERE. THEY CAN
ASK GOD TO FORGIVE THEM, RECEIVE

46:30.702 --> 46:34.512
JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR,
AND THEY MIGHT BE A MARTYR, THEY

46:34.512 --> 46:37.092
MIGHT LOSE THEIR LIFE, BUT
THEY'LL BE IN HEAVEN FOR

46:37.092 --> 46:41.172
ETERNITY, AMEN. SO WHAT A
TREMENDOUS GOD WE HAVE THAT HE

46:41.172 --> 46:46.481
WOULD GIVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. AND
THEN AS WE MOVE ON, WE SEE THE

46:46.481 --> 46:49.452
THOUSAND YEAR MILLENNIAL REIGN,
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WHEN JESUS,

46:49.452 --> 46:52.811
OH, I FORGOT THE SECOND COMING.
I'M GETTING SO EXCITED ABOUT THE

46:52.811 --> 46:55.391
END OF THE TRIBULATION, I
FORGOT THE SECOND COMING. BUT

46:55.391 --> 46:59.322
REVELATION CHAPTER 19 IS WHEN
JESUS COMES BACK. NOW REMEMBER,

46:59.322 --> 47:03.972
WHILE WE'RE IN HEAVEN, WE ENJOY
THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB,

47:03.972 --> 47:07.181
AND WE ALSO HAVE THE JUDGMENT
SEAT OF CHRIST THAT HAPPENS

47:07.181 --> 47:10.032
THERE, WHERE WE'RE JUDGED FOR
OUR WORKS THAT WE HAVE DONE ON

47:10.032 --> 47:13.152
THIS EARTH, NOT JUDGING WHETHER
OR NOT WE GET TO HEAVEN. IF WE

47:13.152 --> 47:16.902
GO ON THE RAPTURE, WE'RE ALREADY
IN HEAVEN. IT'S JUST A JUDGMENT

47:16.902 --> 47:20.141
OF OUR WORKS WITH REWARDS FOR
THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE, THAT

47:20.141 --> 47:22.302
WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED FOR GOD
DURING THAT TIME, AND DID WE

47:22.302 --> 47:25.512
FOLLOW HIS PLAN? SO THAT
HAPPENS DURING THAT SEVEN-YEAR

47:25.512 --> 47:29.291
TRIBULATION WHILE WE'RE IN
HEAVEN, AND THEN WE COME BACK

47:29.291 --> 47:33.851
WITH JESUS, REVELATION CHAPTER
19, THAT'S WHEN HE'S RIDING A

47:33.851 --> 47:37.302
WHITE HORSE, WE'RE FOLLOWING HIM
ON OUR WHITE HORSES, WE TALKED

47:37.302 --> 47:40.331
ABOUT THAT. EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER
RIDDEN A HORSE BEFORE, YOU'LL BE

47:40.331 --> 47:43.842
ABLE TO RIDE A HORSE ON THAT DAY
AND BE SUCCESSFUL ON IT. YOU'LL

47:43.842 --> 47:47.322
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WHITE HORSE
COMING BACK WITH JESUS, AND WITH

47:47.322 --> 47:50.891
FIRE IN HIS MOUTH, HE WILL
DESTROY THE ARMIES THAT HAVE

47:50.891 --> 47:56.744
BEEN ASSEMBLED AT THE MOUNT OF
MEGIDDO TO COME AGAINST JESUS,

47:56.744 --> 47:59.922
BUT THEY WON'T PREVAIL. JESUS
WILL PREVAIL. HE'LL SET UP A

47:59.922 --> 48:02.711
MILLENNIAL REIGN ON THE EARTH
FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. IT'S A

48:02.711 --> 48:07.061
THEOCRACY. IT'LL BE A TIME OF
PEACE. HE WILL PUT DOWN ANY EVIL

48:07.061 --> 48:10.032
THAT HAPPENS DURING THAT TIME.
WE WON'T HAVE ANY MORE POLITICAL

48:10.032 --> 48:13.842
SYSTEMS. IT WILL BE JESUS IN
CONTROL, RULING AND REIGNING

48:13.842 --> 48:16.842
FROM THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
AMEN. SO IT'LL BE A WONDERFUL

48:16.842 --> 48:19.481
TIME OF A THOUSAND-YEAR
MILLENNIAL REIGN. THEN AT THE

48:19.481 --> 48:25.032
END OF THAT PERIOD, REVELATION
20 TALKS ABOUT THE GREAT WHITE

48:25.032 --> 48:28.541
THRONE JUDGMENT. THAT'S WHEN
WE HAVE A RESURRECTION OF THE

48:28.541 --> 48:32.561
WICKED DEAD AND EVERYONE THAT
EVER LIVED THAT DID NOT ACCEPT

48:32.561 --> 48:36.521
JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR. WE
TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER. EVERY

48:36.521 --> 48:40.391
KNEE WILL BOW, EVERY TONGUE
WILL CONFESS, AND THEY HAVE AN

48:40.391 --> 48:44.112
OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND
WHY THEY DID NOT MAKE IT INTO

48:44.112 --> 48:47.411
HEAVEN, BECAUSE THEY REJECTED
JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR.

48:47.411 --> 48:52.422
AND AT THAT POINT, THE
ANTICHRIST AND SATAN HIMSELF

48:53.644 --> 48:57.342
WILL BE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF
FIRE ALONG WITH THE WICKED DEAD.

48:57.342 --> 49:02.322
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT NOW.
WE'RE PAST ALL THAT AND WE'RE

49:02.322 --> 49:04.481
MOVING INTO THE NEW HEAVEN
AND THE NEW EARTH, WHICH IS

49:04.481 --> 49:09.192
REVELATION, ACTUALLY 21, THAT
WE'RE IN ON TONIGHT. SO I'M

49:09.192 --> 49:11.681
SORRY TO TAKE THAT TIME, BUT I
JUST FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO DO

49:11.681 --> 49:14.411
THAT QUICK REVIEW BECAUSE IT
HAD BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'D BEEN

49:14.411 --> 49:16.931
TOGETHER AND HOPEFULLY THAT
HELPS TO JUST BRING YOU UP TO

49:16.931 --> 49:20.411
DATE ON WHERE WE'RE AT. SO WE'LL
GO AS FAR AS WE CAN ON CHAPTER

49:20.411 --> 49:25.601
21 TONIGHT. THE GOOD NEWS IS,
AFTER TALKING ABOUT ALL THE

49:25.601 --> 49:31.751
JUDGMENT AND THOSE ISSUES, IT'S
FUN TO TALK ABOUT THE NEW HEAVEN

49:31.751 --> 49:34.152
AND THE NEW EARTH BECAUSE IT'S
AN EXCITING TIME. IT'S OUR

49:34.152 --> 49:38.862
FUTURE. AND IT'S NOT THE PRESENT
HEAVEN. IT'S NOT THE PRESENT

49:38.862 --> 49:42.461
EARTH. IT'S A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW
EARTH. AND I WANT TO JUST START

49:42.461 --> 49:46.811
BY READING THE FIRST EIGHT
VERSES OF REVELATION CHAPTER 21.

49:46.811 --> 49:48.882
IF YOU WANT TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES
AND READ WITH ME, I'M READING

49:48.882 --> 49:53.442
OUT OF THE NEW KING JAMES
TONIGHT. IT SAYS, "NOW I SAW A

49:53.442 --> 49:56.411
NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, "FOR
THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST

49:56.411 --> 50:00.942
EARTH HAD PASSED AWAY, "AND
THERE WAS NO MORE SEA. "THEN I,

50:00.942 --> 50:04.121
JOHN, SAW THE HOLY CITY, NEW
JERUSALEM, "COMING DOWN OUT OF

50:04.121 --> 50:09.251
HEAVEN FROM GOD, PREPARED AS A
BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND.

50:09.251 --> 50:12.192
AND I HEARD A LOUD VOICE FROM
HEAVEN SAYING, BEHOLD, THE

50:12.192 --> 50:15.791
TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN,
AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, AND

50:15.791 --> 50:19.481
THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE. GOD
HIMSELF WILL BE WITH THEM, AND

50:19.481 --> 50:23.981
THEIR GOD. AND GOD WILL WIPE
AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES.

50:23.981 --> 50:27.132
THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH,
NO MORE SORROW, NO MORE CRYING.

50:27.132 --> 50:30.612
THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR
THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED

50:30.612 --> 50:34.898
AWAY. THEN HE WHO SAT ON THE
THRONE SAID, "BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL

50:34.898 --> 50:39.818
THINGS NEW." AND HE SAID TO ME,
"WRITE, FOR THESE WORDS ARE TRUE

50:39.818 --> 50:45.097
AND FAITHFUL." AND HE SAID TO
ME, "IT IS DONE. I AM THE ALPHA

50:45.097 --> 50:48.068
AND THE OMEGA, THE BEGINNING
AND THE END. I WILL GIVE THE

50:48.068 --> 50:53.137
FOUNTAIN OF THE WATER OF LIFE
FREELY TO HIM WHO THIRSTS. HE

50:53.137 --> 50:57.728
WHO OVERCOMES SHALL INHERIT ALL
THINGS, AND I WILL BE HIS GOD,

50:57.728 --> 51:03.818
AND HE SHALL BE MY SON. BUT THE
COWARDLY, THE UNBELIEVING, THE

51:03.818 --> 51:07.268
ABOMINABLE, THE MURDERERS,
SEXUALLY IMMORAL, SORCERERS,

51:07.268 --> 51:11.168
IDOLATERS, AND ALL LIARS SHALL
HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE

51:11.168 --> 51:14.498
WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE AND
BRIMSTONE, WHICH IS THE SECOND

51:14.498 --> 51:18.577
DEATH. AND THAT'S THE LAKE OF
FIRE THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

51:18.577 --> 51:20.887
LET'S PUT UP THIS SCREEN.
THERE'S FIVE POINTS THAT I WANT

51:20.887 --> 51:23.407
TO START WITH TONIGHT ABOUT THE
NEW JERUSALEM. AND I JUST WANT

51:23.407 --> 51:26.918
TO REVIEW THOSE BEFORE WE GO
INTO THEM IN DETAIL. NUMBER ONE,

51:26.918 --> 51:29.108
GOD WILL BE PRESENT WITH US.
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT,

51:29.108 --> 51:31.987
REVELATION 21:3. WE JUST READ
THAT, BUT I WANT TO EXPLAIN IT A

51:31.987 --> 51:35.768
LITTLE MORE. REVELATION 21:4,
DEATH, PAIN, AND ALL OF OUR

51:35.768 --> 51:40.538
SORROW WILL BE ABSENT. AND THEN
REVELATION 21:5, ALL THINGS WILL

51:40.538 --> 51:45.788
BE NEW. VERSE 7, BELIEVERS WILL
BE PRESENT. AND THEN, OF COURSE,

51:45.788 --> 51:49.507
WE JUST READ THAT UNBELIEVERS
WILL BE ABSENT BECAUSE WE KNOW

51:49.507 --> 51:52.177
WHERE THEY'RE AT. THEY'RE IN
THE LAKE OF FIRE, UNFORTUNATELY,

51:52.177 --> 51:54.757
BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS THAT
THEY MADE. THAT WAS THEIR

51:54.757 --> 51:59.588
CHOICE. GOD DOES NOT PUT ANYONE
TO HELL. THEY PUT THEMSELVES

51:59.588 --> 52:05.378
THERE BY MAKING THEIR CHOICES
THAT THEY DO. WE'RE TOLD TO

52:05.378 --> 52:08.768
CHOOSE LIFE. WE HAVE BEFORE US
LIFE AND DEATH AND WE NEED TO

52:08.768 --> 52:15.427
CHOOSE LIFE. AMEN. IT'S OUR
CHOICE. JESUS, WELL, LET'S JUST

52:15.427 --> 52:19.478
REREAD VERSE REVELATION 21 ONE
MORE TIME BECAUSE WE'VE COVERED

52:19.478 --> 52:21.487
A LITTLE SCRIPTURE THERE. IT
SAYS, "NOW I SAW A NEW HEAVEN

52:21.487 --> 52:24.157
AND A NEW EARTH FOR THE FIRST
HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH HAD

52:24.157 --> 52:27.608
PASSED AWAY AND THERE WAS NO
MORE SEA." JESUS SAID SOMETHING

52:27.608 --> 52:32.768
VERY SIMILAR TO THAT IN MATTHEW
24, VERSE 35, HE SAID, "HEAVEN

52:32.768 --> 52:38.047
AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, BUT
MY WORDS WILL BY NO MEANS PASS

52:38.047 --> 52:41.978
AWAY." SO HE SAID THE SAME THING
THAT WAS QUOTED IN REVELATION

52:41.978 --> 52:45.518
21, HE SAID, "HEAVEN AND EARTH
WILL PASS AWAY, BUT WE KNOW THE

52:45.518 --> 52:50.588
WORD OF GOD IS ETERNAL, IT WILL
NEVER PASS AWAY." AMEN? WHEN

52:50.588 --> 52:53.858
JESUS MADE THE STATEMENT, HE WAS
LOOKING TO THAT DAY THAT WE READ

52:53.858 --> 52:56.768
ABOUT IN REVELATION 21, IT'S A
FUTURE TIME WHEN THERE'LL BE A

52:56.768 --> 52:59.797
NEW HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH. THE
PRESENT EARTH THAT WE'RE LIVING

52:59.797 --> 53:05.288
IN TODAY WILL BE DESTROYED. THE
CURRENT HEAVEN WHERE SOME OF YOU

53:05.288 --> 53:10.777
HAVE RELATIVES LIVING RIGHT
NOW, THAT WILL BE RENOVATED OR

53:10.777 --> 53:14.257
DESTROYED. THOSE THINGS WILL
PASS AWAY. GOD'S BRINGING ABOUT

53:14.257 --> 53:17.438
A TOTALLY NEW THING AT THIS
POINT. IT'S A NEW EARTH, A NEW

53:17.438 --> 53:22.657
HEAVEN, AND A NEW CITY ON THAT
EARTH, WHICH IS REFERRED TO HERE

53:22.657 --> 53:27.048
IN CHAPTER 21 AS THE NEW
JERUSALEM. JESUS SPOKE OF IT AND

53:27.048 --> 53:31.387
THE PROPHET ISAIAH SPOKE OF IT
AS WELL. I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT

53:31.387 --> 53:36.608
JUST FOR PROOF HERE. ISAIAH
65:17-19 SAYS FOR, THIS IS

53:36.608 --> 53:41.557
ISAIAH, "FOR BEHOLD, I CREATE
NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, AND

53:41.557 --> 53:46.268
THE FORMER SHALL NOT BE
REMEMBERED OR COME TO MIND. BUT

53:46.268 --> 53:49.688
BE GLAD AND REJOICE FOREVER IN
WHAT I CREATE. FOR BEHOLD, I

53:49.688 --> 53:55.807
CREATE JERUSALEM AS A REJOICING
AND HER PEOPLE A JOY. I WILL

53:55.807 --> 53:59.498
REJOICE IN JERUSALEM AND JOY IN
MY PEOPLE. THE VOICE OF WEEPING

53:59.498 --> 54:05.498
SHALL NO LONGER BE HEARD IN HER,
NOR THE VOICE OF CRYING. NOTICE

54:05.498 --> 54:10.538
WHAT WE'VE READ IN REVELATION
21. IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

54:10.538 --> 54:15.068
THE PROPHET ISAIAH 700 YEARS
BEFORE CHRIST IS PREDICTING THIS

54:15.068 --> 54:18.938
NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH AND THE
NEW JERUSALEM THAT WE SAW JOHN

54:18.938 --> 54:22.538
JUST DESCRIBE IN REVELATION 21.
GOD PROPHETICALLY SHOWED HIM

54:22.538 --> 54:26.257
THIS AND HE WRITES ABOUT IT
THERE. ALSO, THE APOSTLE PETER

54:26.257 --> 54:28.898
WROTE ABOUT THE NEW HEAVEN AND
THE NEW EARTH. LET'S LOOK AT

54:28.898 --> 54:34.237
THAT SCRIPTURE, 2 PETER 3:10.
BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL

54:34.237 --> 54:36.818
COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT,
WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL PASS AWAY

54:36.818 --> 54:39.427
WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE
ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH FERVENT

54:39.427 --> 54:42.068
HEAT, AND BOTH THE EARTH AND
THE WORKS THAT ARE IN IT WILL BE

54:42.068 --> 54:46.478
BURNED UP. THEREFORE, SINCE ALL
THESE THINGS WILL BE DISSOLVED,

54:46.478 --> 54:50.978
WHAT MANNER OF PERSONS OUGHT YOU
BE IN HOLY ONDUCT AND GODLINESS?

54:50.978 --> 54:53.797
LOOKING FOR AND HASTENING
THE COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD,

54:53.797 --> 54:56.827
BECAUSE OF WHICH THE HEAVENS
WILL BE DISSOLVED, BEING ON

54:56.827 --> 55:01.688
FIRE, AND THE ELEMENTS WILL MELT
WITH FERVENT HEAT. NEVERTHELESS,

55:01.688 --> 55:04.538
WE, ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE,
LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW

55:04.538 --> 55:09.547
EARTH IN WHICH RIGHTEOUSNESS
DWELLS. AMEN. SO THE NEW HEAVEN,

55:09.547 --> 55:13.117
THE NEW EARTH IS WHAT'S COMING
IN OUR FUTURE. AND EVERYONE

55:13.117 --> 55:16.777
WHOSE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN THE
BOOK OF LIFE WILL ENJOY THIS FOR

55:16.777 --> 55:22.268
ETERNITY. NOW, LOOK AGAIN HOW
JOHN DESCRIBES THIS EVENT IN

55:22.268 --> 55:25.447
CHAPTER 21, VERSE 1. I'M GOING
TO READ IT OVER AGAIN FOR A

55:25.447 --> 55:28.838
PURPOSE. "NOW I SAW A NEW HEAVEN
AND A NEW EARTH, FOR THE FIRST

55:28.838 --> 55:32.887
HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH HAD
PASSED AWAY, AND THERE WAS NO

55:32.887 --> 55:38.378
MORE SEA." JOHN SAYS, "THE FIRST
HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH PASS

55:38.378 --> 55:44.565
AWAY." IN YOUR MIND, TRY TO
IMAGINE THIS NEW HEAVEN. I WANT

55:44.565 --> 55:47.617
YOU TO IMAGINE AS WE'RE READING
THROUGH CHAPTER 21, HEAVEN WILL

55:47.617 --> 55:51.577
BE A PLACE THAT THERE'LL BE
NO MORE SORROW ABOUT ANYTHING.

55:51.577 --> 55:55.297
THERE'S NEVER GONNA BE ANOTHER
BAD DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR

55:55.297 --> 56:00.818
EXISTENCE. AND AT THIS POINT
OF TIME, WE'RE WAY PAST THAT

56:00.818 --> 56:03.217
MILLENNIAL PERIOD THAT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT, THE THOUSAND YEAR

56:03.217 --> 56:06.487
MILLENNIUM. SATAN, THE FALSE
PROPHET, THE ANTICHRIST, THEY'RE

56:06.487 --> 56:11.197
ALL IN THE LAKE OF FIRE. EVERY
UNRIGHTEOUS PERSON WHO'S DENIED

56:11.197 --> 56:15.608
CHRIST IS NOW IN THE LAKE OF
FIRE. EVERYTHING'S BRAND NEW AT

56:15.608 --> 56:19.237
THIS POINT. THERE'S A NEW
HEAVEN, A NEW EARTH. THERE'S NO

56:19.237 --> 56:23.318
MORE DEATH, NO MORE CRYING, NO
MORE SUFFERING, NO MORE PRESENCE

56:23.318 --> 56:29.498
OF EVIL, NO MORE TEMPTATION, NO
MORE FEAR. NOTHING BAD. EVERY

56:29.498 --> 56:34.717
PERSON YOU MEET, PASTOR KEITH,
WILL BE HONEST, LOVING, SINCERE,

56:34.717 --> 56:40.777
LIKABLE, AND TRUTHFUL, INCLUDING
YOURSELF. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T

56:40.777 --> 56:45.577
BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA BE SO
LIKABLE. WHY DON'T YOU LOOK AT

56:45.577 --> 56:50.978
YOUR NEIGHBOR TONIGHT AND SAY,
"I'M GOING TO BE LIKABLE." IF

56:50.978 --> 56:55.088
YOU'RE NOT LIKABLE NOW, YOU WILL
BE THEN. YOU'LL HAVE NO REASON

56:55.088 --> 56:59.737
TO HAVE A BAD DAY OR HAVE A
BAD ATTITUDE THERE. HALLELUJAH.

57:02.467 --> 57:06.427
FOREVER, YOU AND I WILL CONTINUE
TO EXPERIENCE A PERFECT, LOVING,

57:06.427 --> 57:11.047
SAFE, JOYFUL EXISTENCE IN THE
PRESENCE OF THE LORD. IT'S

57:11.047 --> 57:14.617
WONDERFUL TO IMAGINE, BUT IT IS
SOMETIMES HARD TO GRASP BECAUSE

57:14.617 --> 57:18.697
WE'RE USED TO EARTHLY THINGS.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY PAUL WOULD

57:18.697 --> 57:21.458
WRITE TO THE CORINTHIANS, 1
CORINTHIANS 2, VERSES NINE AND

57:21.458 --> 57:25.387
10, HE SAID, "THAT IS WHAT THE
SCRIPTURES MEAN WHEN THEY SAY,

57:25.387 --> 57:29.168
"NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR HAS
HEARD, "NO MIND HAS IMAGINED

57:29.168 --> 57:35.137
WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED "FOR THOSE
THAT LOVE HIM." BUT IT WAS TO US

57:35.137 --> 57:38.347
THAT GOD REVEALED THESE THINGS
BY HIS SPIRIT, FOR HIS SPIRIT

57:38.347 --> 57:41.797
SEARCHES OUT EVERYTHING AND
SHOWS US GOD'S DEEP SECRETS.

57:41.797 --> 57:45.338
NONE OF US CAN REALLY IMAGINE
WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR US IN

57:45.338 --> 57:48.907
THIS WONDERFUL NEW HEAVEN AND
NEW EARTH, BUT VERSE 10 TELLS US

57:48.907 --> 57:53.137
THAT HE'S REVEALED IT TO US BY
HIS SPIRIT. GOD REVEALS US AND

57:53.137 --> 57:56.858
SHOWS US DEEP SECRETS BY HIS
SPIRIT. THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY

57:56.858 --> 58:01.927
SPIRIT. SO WE HAVE TO GRASP IT
BY OUR SPIRIT BECAUSE MENTALLY

58:01.927 --> 58:05.318
IT'S ALMOST BEYOND OUR
IMAGINATION. IT'S SO INCREDIBLE

58:05.318 --> 58:07.867
THE THINGS THAT ARE DESCRIBED
IN THIS CHAPTER. ANOTHER ASPECT

58:07.867 --> 58:12.938
THAT WE LOOK AT IN THIS
BEAUTIFUL CITY, THIS IS A FUTURE

58:12.938 --> 58:17.197
HOME FOR ALL THE SAINTS. IT'S
A BRILLIANT, MULTICOLORED CITY

58:17.197 --> 58:21.818
WITH STREETS OF GOLD AND GATES
OF PEARL. IN FACT, IN JOHN,

58:21.818 --> 58:27.338
EXCUSE ME, IN 2 JOHN, WHERE
DID I GET THIS? I GOT THE WRONG

58:27.338 --> 58:30.967
SCRIPTURE HERE. WELL, WE'LL JUST
GO ON. REVELATION 21:2. JOHN

58:30.967 --> 58:35.407
SPEAKS ABOUT, HE SAYS, "I SAW
THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM,

58:35.407 --> 58:40.268
"COMING DOWN TO HEAVEN, OUT OF
HEAVEN, "FROM GOD, PREPARED AS A

58:40.268 --> 58:43.748
BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND."
AND THERE'S SIGNIFICANCE IN

58:43.748 --> 58:48.847
THAT. THINK ABOUT A WEDDING DAY
AND HOW A BRIDE PREPARES HERSELF

58:48.847 --> 58:52.538
FOR HER HUSBAND. IT'S A
DESCRIPTION THAT JOHN GIVES

58:54.157 --> 58:57.907
REGARDING THIS NEW CITY THAT'S
A BEAUTIFUL THING. IN THE SAME

58:57.907 --> 59:02.197
ANTICIPATION OF HOW A BRIDE GETS
ALL PREPPED AND READY FOR HER

59:02.197 --> 59:09.097
WEDDING DAY, IT'S A DESCRIPTION,
IT'S A PICTURE THAT WE CAN SEE

59:09.097 --> 59:14.648
GOD'S PREPARING SOMETHING VERY
BEAUTIFUL FOR US, HIS BRIDE.

59:14.648 --> 59:17.557
JUST LIKE AN EARTHLY MAN SO
EXCITED TO PROVIDE FOR HIS

59:17.557 --> 59:21.907
BRIDE, JOHN IS DELIBERATELY
USING THE LANGUAGE OF MARRIAGE,

59:21.907 --> 59:25.987
A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND
TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT JESUS

59:25.987 --> 59:29.197
IS BUILDING FOR US IN HEAVEN.
IT'S A PICTURE THAT SYMBOLIZES

59:29.197 --> 59:33.547
WHAT GOD'S PREPARED TO REWARD
US WITH, AMEN? SOMETHING SO

59:33.547 --> 59:38.347
INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, AND
BEAUTIFUL FOR ETERNITY. LET'S

59:38.347 --> 59:40.838
CONTINUE. ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS WE SEE IN REVELATION 21

59:42.188 --> 59:45.938
IS THAT GOD WILL BE PRESENT
BECAUSE HE TELLS US THAT IN

59:45.938 --> 59:50.018
VERSE 3. LET'S LOOK AT THAT
AGAIN. REVELATION 21:3, "AND I

59:50.018 --> 59:53.947
HEARD A LOUD VOICE FROM HEAVEN
SAYING, 'BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE

59:53.947 --> 59:58.177
OF GOD IS WITH MEN, AND HE
WILL DWELL WITH THEM.'" THAT'S

59:58.177 --> 01:00:02.197
SPEAKING OF GOD. "AND THEY SHALL
BE HIS PEOPLE. "GOD HIMSELF WILL

01:00:02.197 --> 01:00:06.878
BE WITH THEM AND BE THEIR GOD."
DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD THE FATHER

01:00:06.878 --> 01:00:12.277
WILL BECOME AN EARTH DWELLER AT
THAT POINT IN TIME? WHEN THE NEW

01:00:12.277 --> 01:00:16.327
JERUSALEM COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN
TO EARTH, GOD THE FATHER WILL BE

01:00:16.327 --> 01:00:20.677
AN EARTH DWELLER. HALLELUJAH.
FATHER GOD WILL BE AMONG MEN

01:00:20.677 --> 01:00:24.967
FOREVER AND EVER FROM THIS
TIME FORWARD. AND THERE'S OTHER

01:00:24.967 --> 01:00:27.938
SCRIPTURES WE COULD LOOK AT, I'M
JUST KIND OF GOING FAST TONIGHT,

01:00:27.938 --> 01:00:32.192
THAT WOULD BACK THAT UP. BUT
JUMP AHEAD WITH ME, WE'RE GONNA

01:00:32.192 --> 01:00:35.887
JUST QUICKLY LOOK AT REVELATION
22, ONE THROUGH FIVE, AND WE'LL

01:00:35.887 --> 01:00:38.768
SEE ANOTHER VERIFICATION THAT
FATHER GOD WILL BE WITH US.

01:00:38.768 --> 01:00:43.597
REVELATION 22, VERSES 1-5, SAYS,
"THEN THE ANGEL SHOWED ME A

01:00:43.597 --> 01:00:47.943
RIVER "WITH THE WATER OF LIFE
CLEAR AS CRYSTAL, "FLOWING FROM

01:00:47.943 --> 01:00:51.916
THE THRONE OF GOD AND FROM THE
LAMB. IT FLOWED DOWN FROM THE

01:00:51.916 --> 01:00:54.934
CENTER OF THE MAIN STREET. ON
EACH SIDE OF THE RIVER GREW A

01:00:54.934 --> 01:00:59.134
TREE OF LIFE, BEARING 12 CROPS
OF FRUIT WITH A FRESH CROP EACH

01:00:59.134 --> 01:01:03.813
MONTH. THE LEAVES WERE USED FOR
MEDICINE TO HEAL THE NATIONS. NO

01:01:03.813 --> 01:01:07.384
LONGER WILL THERE BE A CURSE
UPON ANYTHING, FOR THE THRONE OF

01:01:07.384 --> 01:01:12.724
GOD, THE THRONE OF GOD, AND OF
THE LAMB." THE THRONE OF GOD IS

01:01:12.724 --> 01:01:17.074
TALKING ABOUT THE FATHER GOD.
WHO'S THE LAMB? JESUS. SO THE

01:01:17.074 --> 01:01:21.244
THRONE OF FATHER GOD AND OF
JESUS WILL BE THERE AND HIS

01:01:21.244 --> 01:01:27.423
SERVANTS WILL WORSHIP HIM. AND
THEY WILL SEE HIS FACE AND HIS

01:01:27.423 --> 01:01:32.253
NAME WILL BE WRITTEN ON THEIR
FOREHEADS. AND THERE'LL BE NO

01:01:32.253 --> 01:01:35.943
NIGHT THERE, NO NEED FOR LAMPS
OR SUN, FOR THE LORD GOD WILL

01:01:35.943 --> 01:01:40.143
SHINE IN THEM AND THEY WILL
REIGN FOREVER AND EVER.

01:01:40.143 --> 01:01:45.094
HALLELUJAH. PRAISE GOD. THE
LORD'S JUST GOING TO BE DWELLING

01:01:45.094 --> 01:01:50.103
WITH US, LIVING AMONG US, AND
WALKING AMONG US. IN VERSE 4, WE

01:01:50.103 --> 01:01:55.684
READ THAT IN THIS PLACE, DEATH,
PAIN, AND ALL OUR SORROWS WILL

01:01:55.684 --> 01:01:58.443
BE ABSENT. LET'S LOOK AT
REVELATION 21:4. I'M JUST KIND

01:01:58.443 --> 01:02:01.233
OF GOING THROUGH THOSE SAME
VERSES THAT WE READ EARLIER AND

01:02:01.233 --> 01:02:05.014
DOING IT INDIVIDUALLY HERE. "AND
GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR

01:02:05.014 --> 01:02:08.193
FROM THEIR EYES. THERE SHALL BE
NO MORE DEATH, NO SORROW, NOR

01:02:08.193 --> 01:02:12.273
CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE
PAIN, FOR THE FORMER THINGS HAVE

01:02:12.273 --> 01:02:17.344
PASSED AWAY." YOU KNOW, EILEEN
AND I LOVE BEING GRANDPARENTS.

01:02:17.344 --> 01:02:21.934
AND WHEN OUR GRANDSON, FINN, WAS
ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD, HE CAME TO

01:02:21.934 --> 01:02:25.414
STAY WITH US A FEW DAYS. AND
AFTER BEING WITH US FOR TWO

01:02:25.414 --> 01:02:29.824
NIGHTS, HE STARTED TO MISS HIS
PARENTS, AND HIS CHIN QUIVERED,

01:02:29.824 --> 01:02:35.434
TEARS CAME, AND WE KNEW IT WAS
TIME FOR A PHONE CALL HOME. AND

01:02:35.434 --> 01:02:38.224
ONCE FENN HEARD HIS PARENTS'
VOICE, HE WAS REASSURED THAT

01:02:38.224 --> 01:02:40.713
EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALL RIGHT
AND HE WAS ABLE TO FINALLY

01:02:40.713 --> 01:02:44.673
SNUGGLE IN AND GO TO SLEEP. IT'S
A NORMAL THING FOR A CHILD TO

01:02:44.673 --> 01:02:49.713
MISS THEIR ROUTINE AND WANT TO
BE AT HOME. YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN

01:02:49.713 --> 01:02:54.213
OLD GOSPEL HYMN, "THIS WORLD IS
NOT MY HOME. I'M JUST PASSING

01:02:54.213 --> 01:02:59.103
THROUGH. MY TREASURES ARE LAID
UP SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE BLUE.

01:02:59.103 --> 01:03:02.554
THE ANGELS BECKON ME FROM
HEAVEN'S OPEN DOOR, AND I CAN'T

01:03:02.554 --> 01:03:07.173
FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD
ANYMORE." WELL, THE BIBLE'S

01:03:07.173 --> 01:03:10.503
DESCRIPTION OF HEAVEN IS LIKE A
PHOTOGRAPH THAT REMINDS US WHY

01:03:10.503 --> 01:03:14.403
WE WOULD WANT TO GO HOME. IT'S
EVERY CHRISTIAN'S DESIRE TO BE

01:03:14.403 --> 01:03:18.454
IN HEAVEN AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
WE CAN GET ATTACHED TO THIS

01:03:18.454 --> 01:03:21.364
WORLD, BUT THERE'S A LONGING IN
EVERY CHRISTIAN'S HEART TO BE IN

01:03:21.364 --> 01:03:25.054
HEAVEN WITH JESUS WHEN OUR
ASSIGNMENT HERE IS FINISHED.

01:03:26.344 --> 01:03:29.733
UNDERSTAND, THERE'S NO OTHER
TIME THAT I'D RATHER BE ALIVE

01:03:29.733 --> 01:03:33.724
THAN TODAY. THIS IS AN EXCITING
TIME TO LIVE, AND I DON'T WANNA

01:03:33.724 --> 01:03:36.273
GO HOME UNTIL MY ASSIGNMENT'S
FINISHED HERE, AND YOU SHOULDN'T

01:03:36.273 --> 01:03:39.094
EITHER. I BELIEVE THIS
GENERATION WILL WITNESS THE

01:03:39.094 --> 01:03:43.204
GREATEST END-TIME HARVEST THAT
ANY GENERATION HAS EVER SEEN.

01:03:44.253 --> 01:03:47.614
SOME OF YOU ARE EXCITED THAT
WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN, YOU CAN

01:03:47.614 --> 01:03:52.054
ASK PETER AND JAMES AND JOHN,
WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO LIVE DURING

01:03:52.054 --> 01:03:55.954
THE TIME OF JESUS AND WALK WITH
JESUS AND SEE HIM DO MIRACLES

01:03:55.954 --> 01:04:00.304
AND JUST TO BE WITH HIM? WHAT
WAS THAT LIKE? YOU WANNA KNOW.

01:04:00.304 --> 01:04:04.534
BUT DID YOU EVER THINK THAT
MAYBE PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN MAY

01:04:04.534 --> 01:04:09.784
COME UP TO YOU SOMEDAY AND SAY,
WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO LIVE DURING

01:04:09.784 --> 01:04:13.893
THE GREATEST HARVEST SEASON ON
EARTH WHEN BILLIONS OF SOULS

01:04:13.893 --> 01:04:19.503
CAME TO JESUS? AMEN. WE HAVE
A PART TO PLAY, AND WE HAVE TO

01:04:19.503 --> 01:04:23.614
FULFILL EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS
PLANNED FOR US, OUR ASSIGNMENT.

01:04:23.614 --> 01:04:28.684
WE HAVE TO FULFILL THOSE BEFORE
WE LEAVE THIS EARTH. DON'T LET

01:04:28.684 --> 01:04:34.623
THE DEVIL TAKE YOU OUT EARLY.
FULFILL YOUR PLAN. I SHOULD SAY,

01:04:34.623 --> 01:04:38.253
FOR YOUR LIFE. BUT IT IS FINE TO
BE EXCITED ABOUT OUR FUTURE IN

01:04:38.253 --> 01:04:40.681
HEAVEN. OTHERWISE, GOD WOULDN'T
HAVE SHOWED US ALL THIS. IF HE

01:04:40.681 --> 01:04:43.474
DIDN'T WANT US TO KNOW ABOUT
IT AND BE EXCITED ABOUT IT, IT

01:04:43.474 --> 01:04:47.824
WOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THE BIBLE,
AMEN? BUT IN HEAVEN, THERE'LL BE

01:04:47.824 --> 01:04:53.943
NO MORE CANCER, NO MORE DIVORCE,
NO MORE REJECTION OR LONELINESS,

01:04:53.943 --> 01:04:59.103
NO MORE DEPRESSION, NO MORE
WHEELCHAIRS OR PACEMAKERS, NO

01:04:59.103 --> 01:05:03.753
MORE RADIATION OR CHEMOTHERAPY,
NO MORE CROSSES ALONGSIDE THE

01:05:03.753 --> 01:05:09.603
ROAD, NO MORE CHILD ABUSE, NO
MORE RAPE, NO MORE FUNERAL HOMES

01:05:09.603 --> 01:05:14.284
OR ORPHANAGES, NO MORE NURSING
HOMES, NO MORE TREATMENT

01:05:14.284 --> 01:05:18.603
CENTERS. THANK GOD THERE'LL BE
NO MORE PINK SLIPS, THERE'LL BE

01:05:18.603 --> 01:05:24.213
NO MORE FORECLOSURES.
HALLELUJAH. THE END OF VERSE

01:05:24.213 --> 01:05:27.903
FOUR TELLS US "THE FORMER THINGS
HAVE PASSED AWAY, IT'S DONE.

01:05:27.903 --> 01:05:32.884
"BEHOLD, HE MAKES ALL THINGS
NEW." LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 5,

01:05:32.884 --> 01:05:39.094
21:5. IT SAYS, "THEN HE WHO SAT
ON THE THRONE SAID, "BEHOLD, I

01:05:39.094 --> 01:05:44.583
MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. "HE SAID TO
ME, WRITE, FOR THESE WORDS ARE

01:05:44.583 --> 01:05:48.634
TRUE AND FAITHFUL." SO
EVERYTHING'S BRAND NEW. THIS IS

01:05:48.634 --> 01:05:53.164
NOT A MAKEOVER. IT'S NOT A FIXER
UPPER. SOME OF YOU HAVE MAYBE

01:05:53.164 --> 01:05:55.804
WATCHED THAT SHOW. I DON'T EVEN
KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN ON OR IF

01:05:55.804 --> 01:05:58.954
IT EVEN IS ON ANYMORE. IT WAS
CALLED "EXTREME MAKEOVER." AND

01:05:58.954 --> 01:06:04.054
THE IDEA, THEY WOULD TAKE A HOME
THAT WAS FACING-- YOU KNOW, IT

01:06:04.054 --> 01:06:07.534
WAS IN BAD SHAPE, A DILAPIDATED
HOME, AND THEY WOULD GIVE IT A

01:06:07.534 --> 01:06:11.373
RADICAL MAKEOVER FOR A FAMILY
THAT COULDN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT

01:06:11.373 --> 01:06:15.393
UP THEMSELVES. THE HOUSE WAS IN
SAD SHAPE, BUT BY THE TIME THE

01:06:15.393 --> 01:06:20.164
TEAM THAT HAD COME IN TO DO THE
RENOVATION HAD FINISHED, THE

01:06:20.164 --> 01:06:25.114
FAMILY WAS THRILLED WITH IT
BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND REDONE.

01:06:25.114 --> 01:06:28.833
IT'S A GREAT CONCEPT. BUT EVEN
AFTER THE HOME RECEIVED THE

01:06:28.833 --> 01:06:32.943
EXTREME MAKEOVER, IT'S NOT THE
SAME AS BUILDING A NEW HOME WITH

01:06:32.943 --> 01:06:39.423
THE EXACT DESIGN THAT WE ALL
DESIRE SOMETIMES. REMODELING HAS

01:06:39.423 --> 01:06:44.824
ITS LIMITATIONS. REVELATION 21
TELLS US THIS IS A NEW HEAVEN

01:06:44.824 --> 01:06:48.213
AND A NEW EARTH, AND GOD'S GONNA
MAKE IT PERFECT FOR WHAT WE

01:06:48.213 --> 01:06:50.824
NEED. AND BOY, WHEN YOU SEE,
WE'RE NOT GONNA GET THERE

01:06:50.824 --> 01:06:52.864
TONIGHT, BUT WHEN YOU SEE
THE DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW

01:06:52.864 --> 01:06:56.193
JERUSALEM, THE SIZE OF IT, AND
HOW WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED IN THE

01:06:56.193 --> 01:06:58.594
NEW JERUSALEM COMING DOWN
FROM HEAVEN, THERE'S A GOOD

01:06:58.594 --> 01:07:06.123
DESCRIPTION IN THE REMAINDER
OF, THE ENDING OF CHAPTER 21 AND

01:07:06.123 --> 01:07:09.423
PART OF CHAPTER 22 OF REVELATION
GIVES A GOOD DESCRIPTION OF

01:07:09.423 --> 01:07:12.574
THAT. WE'LL LOOK AT THAT
LATER. BUT IT'S DESIGNED BY GOD

01:07:12.574 --> 01:07:17.494
PERFECTLY. YOU KNOW, WHEN
WE DECIDED TO EXPAND OUR

01:07:17.494 --> 01:07:22.233
CONSTRUCTION AND BUILD THIS
AUDITORIUM, AT THE TIME WE WERE

01:07:22.233 --> 01:07:24.934
MEETING UP AT THE SOUTH END
IN WHAT WE CALL THE OLD SOUTH

01:07:24.934 --> 01:07:30.693
AUDITORIUM, IT WAS A ROOM THAT
WOULD BARELY SEAT 450 PEOPLE.

01:07:30.693 --> 01:07:34.083
SEATING WAS REALLY TIGHT THERE
ON SUNDAYS. I CALLED IT AIRLINE

01:07:34.083 --> 01:07:37.204
SEATING BECAUSE WE WERE JUST
LIKE PACKED IN THERE LIKE

01:07:37.204 --> 01:07:40.954
SARDINES. I THINK WE LIMITED,
I DON'T KNOW, IF THE FIRE CHIEF

01:07:40.954 --> 01:07:46.503
HAD EVER COME IN, HE'D PROBABLY
SAID YOUR PAST CAPACITY, BUT WE

01:07:46.503 --> 01:07:50.943
WERE TIGHT. BUT WE MET WITH THE
ARCHITECT AND WE WERE DRAWING UP

01:07:50.943 --> 01:07:57.543
PLANS TO RENOVATE THE EXISTING
END DOWN HERE THAT WAS, WELL

01:07:57.543 --> 01:08:00.003
PART OF IT WAS USED BY HEARTLAND
HOPE MISSION AND PART OF IT WAS

01:08:00.003 --> 01:08:04.324
AN OLD PET WORLD AREA WHEN THEY
HAD A PET STORE HERE YEARS AGO.

01:08:04.324 --> 01:08:07.744
BUT HEARTLAND HOPE WAS USING IT
FOR CLOTHING AND A FOOD PANTRY.

01:08:07.744 --> 01:08:11.134
AND WE'VE GOT A PICTURE HERE,
BECAUSE SOME OF YOU DON'T

01:08:11.134 --> 01:08:15.063
REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE
COME, YOU'VE BEEN HERE SINCE

01:08:15.063 --> 01:08:17.493
THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT. BUT
THAT'S WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKED

01:08:17.493 --> 01:08:21.694
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, ABOUT THREE
OR FOUR YEARS AGO. THAT'S WHAT

01:08:21.694 --> 01:08:25.623
IT LOOKED LIKE. IT LOOKED LIKE,
WELL, THAT AMAZING PIZZA MACHINE

01:08:25.623 --> 01:08:28.144
BUILDING THAT YOU SEE OVER THERE
NOW. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THIS

01:08:28.144 --> 01:08:31.953
BUILDING LOOKED LIKE AT THE
TIME. SO WE DECIDED THAT

01:08:31.953 --> 01:08:35.703
BUILDING FROM SCRATCH, WHAT WE
NEEDED WAS A LOT BETTER IN THE

01:08:35.703 --> 01:08:39.753
LONG RUN THAN TRYING TO RENOVATE
IT. AND YOU CAN SEE WE STARTED

01:08:39.753 --> 01:08:41.764
THE RENOVATION THERE. THEY
WERE STARTING TO TEAR DOWN THE

01:08:41.764 --> 01:08:45.792
BUILDING, AND WE WERE ABLE TO
GET THE CONSTRUCTION FENCE UP

01:08:45.792 --> 01:08:47.894
AND WE'RE GETTING
READY TO START THE

01:08:47.894 --> 01:08:53.673
DEMOLITION THERE. I WANTED
YOU TO SEE THAT. THE MORE WE

01:08:53.673 --> 01:08:56.344
DISCUSSED AND ANALYZED, WE
REALIZED THERE WAS NO WAY WE

01:08:56.344 --> 01:09:00.484
COULD REALLY GET WHAT WE NEEDED
BY RENOVATING THAT OLD BUILDING.

01:09:00.484 --> 01:09:03.634
WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE CEILING
HEIGHT AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD

01:09:03.634 --> 01:09:05.854
THE STADIUM SEATING AND THE
TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE REALLY

01:09:05.854 --> 01:09:11.463
NEEDED FOR THE CAPACITY. AND IT
DEFINITELY COSTS MORE TO TEAR IT

01:09:11.463 --> 01:09:14.489
DOWN AND REBUILD, BUT IT'S BEEN
WORTH IT IN THE END BECAUSE WE

01:09:14.489 --> 01:09:18.243
GOT WHAT WE NEEDED. SO SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TO JUST PAY THE PRICE.

01:09:18.243 --> 01:09:21.634
AND YOU CAN'T ALWAYS MAKE A SILK
PURSE OUT OF A SOW'S EAR. THAT'S

01:09:21.634 --> 01:09:24.363
THE OLD, MAYBE YOU'VE HEARD THAT
BEFORE. THAT REALLY GOES, THAT

01:09:24.363 --> 01:09:28.623
TAKES US BACK, DOESN'T IT?
(LAUGHING) BUT ANYWAY, LOOK WHAT

01:09:28.623 --> 01:09:32.673
GOD HAS DONE. SO, THE NEW
HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH WILL BE

01:09:32.673 --> 01:09:35.974
COMPLETELY BRAND NEW. THIS OLD
EARTH IS GONNA BE RENOVATED BY

01:09:35.974 --> 01:09:41.823
FIRE. EVERYTHING THAT MANKIND
BUILT AND DESIGNED, MUCH OF IT

01:09:41.823 --> 01:09:45.904
WAS TAINTED BY SIN. THAT'LL ALL
BE GONE. "IT'S A NEW HEAVEN, A

01:09:45.904 --> 01:09:49.564
NEW EARTH, A NEW BEAUTIFUL CITY,
"THE NEW JERUSALEM COMING DOWN

01:09:49.564 --> 01:09:53.404
OUT OF HEAVEN, "PREPARED AS A
BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND."

01:09:53.404 --> 01:09:56.613
AND JOHN, OF COURSE, TELLS US
THAT BELIEVERS WILL BE PRESENT

01:09:56.613 --> 01:10:00.484
IN THIS PLACE. LET'S LOOK AT
VERSE 21, VERSES, I'M SORRY,

01:10:00.484 --> 01:10:04.623
CHAPTER 21, VERSES SIX AND
SEVEN. IT SAYS, "AND HE SAID TO

01:10:04.623 --> 01:10:07.533
ME, 'IT IS DONE. "'I AM THE
ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE

01:10:07.533 --> 01:10:10.173
BEGINNING AND THE END. "'I WILL
GIVE OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE

01:10:10.173 --> 01:10:14.613
WATER OF LIFE FREELY TO HIM WHO
THIRSTS. HE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL

01:10:14.613 --> 01:10:18.363
INHERIT ALL THINGS, AND I WILL
BE HIS GOD, AND HE SHALL BE MY

01:10:18.363 --> 01:10:22.923
SON. HE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL
INHERIT ALL THINGS, AND I WILL

01:10:22.923 --> 01:10:25.474
BE HIS GOD, AND HE SHALL BE MY
SON.'" SO IT'S TELLING US RIGHT

01:10:25.474 --> 01:10:28.323
THERE, THOSE THAT ARE
OVERCOMERS, THE CHRISTIANS THAT

01:10:28.323 --> 01:10:33.363
ARE FAITHFUL THAT HAVE MADE IT,
WILL INHERIT THIS NEW KINGDOM,

01:10:33.363 --> 01:10:37.293
THE NEW HEAVEN, THE NEW EARTH,
AND THE NEW JERUSALEM. HE WHO

01:10:37.293 --> 01:10:41.073
OVERCOMES WILL INHERIT ALL
THINGS. I WILL BE HIS GOD AND HE

01:10:41.073 --> 01:10:44.554
SHALL BE MY SON. SO THE GOOD
NEWS IS BELIEVERS WILL BE

01:10:44.554 --> 01:10:48.213
PRESENT IN HEAVEN. THE SAD NEWS
IS BASED ON THEIR CHOICES THAT

01:10:48.213 --> 01:10:51.724
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, UNBELIEVERS
WILL BE ABSENT. AND WE TALKED

01:10:51.724 --> 01:10:54.634
ABOUT THAT WHEN I READ
VERSE EIGHT, THE COWARDLY,

01:10:54.634 --> 01:10:57.453
UNBELIEVING, ABOMINABLE,
MURDERERS, SEXUALLY IMMORAL,

01:10:57.453 --> 01:11:00.583
SORCERERS, IDOLATERS, ALL LIARS
SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE

01:11:00.583 --> 01:11:03.373
LAKE WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE AND
BRIMSTONE. THAT'S THE SECOND

01:11:03.373 --> 01:11:08.713
DEATH. NOW IF WE JUMP AHEAD AND
TAKE NOTE OF THE LAST VERSE OF

01:11:08.713 --> 01:11:14.923
THIS CHAPTER, VERSE 27,
REVELATION 21:27, IT SAYS, "BUT

01:11:14.923 --> 01:11:20.083
THERE SHALL BE BY NO MEANS ENTER
IN ANYTHING THAT DEFILES OR

01:11:20.083 --> 01:11:24.734
CAUSES AN ABOMINATION OR A LIE,
BUT ONLY THOSE WHO ARE WRITTEN

01:11:24.734 --> 01:11:28.694
IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE." SO
IF YOUR NAME'S WRITTEN IN THE

01:11:28.694 --> 01:11:32.083
LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, YOU HAVE
ENTRANCE INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL

01:11:32.083 --> 01:11:38.054
KINGDOM. HALLELUJAH. IT'S A
REMINDER TO US THAT BELIEVERS

01:11:38.054 --> 01:11:41.533
WILL BE PRESENT, BUT UNBELIEVERS
WILL BE ABSENT. NOW, LET'S LOOK

01:11:41.533 --> 01:11:44.234
AT THE FINAL POINTS, AND THEN
WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY WIND UP

01:11:44.234 --> 01:11:49.064
HERE TONIGHT. I WANT TO LOOK
AT THREE MORE POINTS TONIGHT

01:11:49.064 --> 01:11:56.054
CONCERNING THE NEW JERUSALEM,
AND THAT'S REVELATION 21:11 AND

01:11:56.054 --> 01:12:01.003
23, "THERE'S NO SUN, NO MOON,
BUT THE LIGHT WILL BE BRIGHT

01:12:01.003 --> 01:12:05.024
WITH GOD'S GLORY." AND THEN
REVELATION 21, VERSES 12:17,

01:12:05.024 --> 01:12:09.884
AND 21, "THE WALL WILL BE HIGH
AND WIDE WITH GATES OF PEARL."

01:12:09.884 --> 01:12:13.993
AND THEN FINALLY, VERSE 14, "THE
FOUNDATION WILL BE DEEP WITH 12

01:12:13.993 --> 01:12:19.993
LAYERS." REVELATION 21, VERSES 9
THROUGH 14. I WANT TO READ THAT,

01:12:19.993 --> 01:12:22.333
AND THEN WE'LL MOVE THROUGH
THOSE POINTS. "THEN ONE OF THE

01:12:22.333 --> 01:12:25.484
SEVEN ANGELS, WHO HAD THE SEVEN
BOWLS FILLED WITH THE SEVEN LAST

01:12:25.484 --> 01:12:30.014
PLAGUES, CAME TO ME AND TALKED
WITH ME, SAYING, "COME, I WILL

01:12:30.014 --> 01:12:33.974
SHOW YOU THE BRIDE, THE LAMB'S
WIFE." AND HE CARRIED ME AWAY IN

01:12:33.974 --> 01:12:36.913
THE SPIRIT TO A GREAT AND HIGH
MOUNTAIN, AND SHOWED ME THE

01:12:36.913 --> 01:12:41.293
GREAT CITY, THE HOLY JERUSALEM,
DESCENDING OUT OF HEAVEN FROM

01:12:41.293 --> 01:12:45.613
GOD. HAVING THE GLORY OF GOD,
HER LIGHT WAS LIKE A MOST

01:12:45.613 --> 01:12:50.953
PRECIOUS STONE, LIKE A JASPER
STONE, CLEAR AS CRYSTAL. AND SHE

01:12:50.953 --> 01:12:55.003
HAD A GREAT AND HIGH WALL WITH
TWELVE GATES AND TWELVE ANGELS

01:12:55.003 --> 01:12:58.033
AT THE GATES, AND THE NAMES
WRITTEN ON THEM, WHICH ARE THE

01:12:58.033 --> 01:13:01.484
NAMES OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. THREE

01:13:01.484 --> 01:13:04.453
GATES ON THE EAST, THREE GATES
ON THE NORTH, THREE GATES ON THE

01:13:04.453 --> 01:13:08.984
SOUTH, AND THREE GATES ON THE
WEST. NOW THE WALL OF THE CITY

01:13:08.984 --> 01:13:12.163
HAD TWELVE FOUNDATIONS, AND
ON THEM WERE THE NAMES OF THE

01:13:12.163 --> 01:13:19.934
TWELVE APOSTLES OF THE LAMB.
HALLELUJAH. SO, VERSE 11 SAYS,

01:13:19.934 --> 01:13:22.783
"HAVING THE GLORY OF GOD, HER
LIGHT WAS LIKE A MOST PRECIOUS

01:13:22.783 --> 01:13:26.054
STONE, LIKE A JASPER STONE,
CLEAR AS CRYSTAL." THE CITY WILL

01:13:26.054 --> 01:13:31.966
HAVE A VERY BRILLIANT LIGHT.
VERSE 23 OF REVELATION 21 SAYS,

01:13:31.966 --> 01:13:35.413
"AND THE CITY HAD NO NEED OF
SUN, NEITHER OF THE MOON TO

01:13:35.413 --> 01:13:39.554
SHINE IN IT, FOR THE GLORY OF
GOD DID LIGHTEN IT, AND THE LAMB

01:13:39.554 --> 01:13:43.724
IS THE LIGHT THEREOF." THERE'S
NO SUN PRESENT. THERE'S NO MOON

01:13:43.724 --> 01:13:47.953
PRESENT. THERE'S NO NEED FOR A
SUN OR MOON IN THIS NEW EARTH

01:13:47.953 --> 01:13:51.734
AND NEW HEAVEN. THE LIGHT'S
GOING TO COME FROM GOD'S GLORY.

01:13:51.734 --> 01:13:54.404
THE BRILLIANCE OF THE LORD'S
GLORY WILL ILLUMINATE THE WHOLE

01:13:54.404 --> 01:13:58.033
CITY. NOW CONSIDER WHAT THIS
MEANS. THAT MEANS THERE'S NO

01:13:58.033 --> 01:14:06.163
NIGHTTIME. WE THINK BECAUSE WE
HAVE THIS ROUTINE OF 24-HOUR DAY

01:14:06.163 --> 01:14:10.453
CYCLES OR 24-HOUR CYCLES IN OUR
LIFE, YOU KNOW, WE GET UP IN THE

01:14:10.453 --> 01:14:13.363
MORNING, WE GO TO BED AT
NIGHT. IMAGINE NOW THERE'S NO

01:14:13.363 --> 01:14:17.264
NIGHTTIME. THERE'S NO NEED FOR
NIGHTTIME BECAUSE YOU WON'T NEED

01:14:17.264 --> 01:14:22.304
TO GO TO BED. YOU WON'T NEED TO
SLEEP ANYMORE. YOU WON'T NEED TO

01:14:22.304 --> 01:14:25.484
SLEEP. SOME OF YOU ARE GASPING
RIGHT NOW AND SAY, BUT PASTOR

01:14:25.484 --> 01:14:30.644
DOUG, IF I NEVER GET ANY SLEEP,
I'M REALLY GONNA BE CRANKY. BUT

01:14:30.644 --> 01:14:37.453
THERE'LL BE NO SLEEPING IN. THE
REASON WE NEED TO SLEEP IN NOW

01:14:37.453 --> 01:14:41.203
IS BECAUSE OUR BODY NEEDS
TO REJUVENATE. AND SLEEP'S A

01:14:41.203 --> 01:14:44.444
WONDERFUL HEALING PROCESS. BUT
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE PRESENCE OF

01:14:44.444 --> 01:14:47.743
THE LORD, THERE'S NO NIGHT, YOU
HAVE A GLORIFIED BODY, YOU WON'T

01:14:47.743 --> 01:14:52.412
NEED TO GO TO BED. YOU DON'T
NEED TO REJUVENATE YOURSELF.

01:14:53.774 --> 01:14:56.444
IT'S AMAZING WHEN YOU BEGIN TO
THINK ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT THINGS

01:14:56.444 --> 01:15:00.493
WILL BE. BEAUTIFULLY DIFFERENT,
MARVELOUSLY DIFFERENT. YOU'LL

01:15:00.493 --> 01:15:03.764
NEVER HAVE TO SAY AGAIN, "I
DIDN'T SLEEP WELL LAST NIGHT."

01:15:05.713 --> 01:15:12.073
YOU'LL NEVER EXPERIENCE SLEEP
DEPRIVATION. THE PHRASE, "THE

01:15:12.073 --> 01:15:15.583
CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS," WAS
FIRST APPLIED TO NEW YORK IN A

01:15:15.583 --> 01:15:20.144
1912 NEWSPAPER ARTICLE, AND
IT WAS POPULARIZED BY FRANK

01:15:20.144 --> 01:15:25.274
SINATRA'S ANTHEM, "THEME FROM
NEW YORK, NEW YORK." YOU KNOW,

01:15:25.274 --> 01:15:30.163
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, MY NIECE KIM
LIVED IN NEW YORK CITY, AND I

01:15:30.163 --> 01:15:33.673
HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO OFFICIATE
AT HER WEDDING. IT WAS FUNNY

01:15:33.673 --> 01:15:36.554
BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS LICENSED
IN IOWA, AND I WENT OUT TO NEW

01:15:36.554 --> 01:15:40.543
YORK CITY AND DID THE WEDDING,
AND THEN ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I

01:15:40.543 --> 01:15:45.257
GOT THIS NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT
SAID, "THEY'RE NOT OFFICIALLY

01:15:45.257 --> 01:15:49.783
MARRIED BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T
LICENSED WITH AND FORTUNATELY I

01:15:49.783 --> 01:15:53.894
HAD FAVOR AND I SAID, "CAN I
APPLY FOR IT NOW?" AND I DON'T

01:15:53.894 --> 01:15:58.184
KNOW WHY THEY LET ME, BUT THEY
DID. SO THEY DIDN'T LIVE IN SIN

01:15:58.184 --> 01:16:10.213
THAT MONTH. I GOT IT TAKEN CARE
OF. BUT ANYWAY, WAS IT THAT

01:16:10.213 --> 01:16:16.304
FUNNY? OKAY. BUT WHAT I WAS
GONNA SAY, IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME

01:16:16.304 --> 01:16:18.644
FOR OUR FAMILY TO EVER GO TO
NEW YORK CITY, AND WE STAYED A

01:16:18.644 --> 01:16:21.344
COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY. AFTER THE
WEDDING, WE WANTED TO STAY THERE

01:16:21.344 --> 01:16:24.382
FOR A LITTLE BIT AND DO A LITTLE
BIT OF SIGHTSEEING. AND IT WAS

01:16:24.382 --> 01:16:27.434
OUR FIRST TIME, LIKE I SAID, AND
WE STAYED A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY

01:16:27.434 --> 01:16:32.264
FROM TIMES SQUARE. AND YOU
REALLY REALIZE, AND YOU KNOW, I

01:16:32.264 --> 01:16:36.314
MEAN, THAT WAS WAY BEFORE COVID.
THIS WAS A LONG TIME AGO. THAT

01:16:36.314 --> 01:16:39.583
SONG WAS REALLY ACCURATE. THE
CITY NEVER SLEEPS. I MEAN, THE

01:16:39.583 --> 01:16:42.884
STORES ARE OPEN ALL NIGHT LONG.
YOU GO DOWN AT THREE IN THE

01:16:42.884 --> 01:16:47.384
MORNING AND THE STORES ARE OPEN.
IT JUST WAS AMAZING. EVERYTHING

01:16:47.384 --> 01:16:53.444
WAS GOING ALL NIGHT LONG. AND
RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN 24 HOURS A

01:16:53.444 --> 01:16:57.253
DAY. I MEAN, THEN AFTER COVID,
SOME OF THAT ALL CHANGED ON US.

01:16:57.253 --> 01:16:59.684
I REMEMBER WALMART USED TO
BE OPEN 24 HOURS AROUND HERE,

01:16:59.684 --> 01:17:06.373
DIDN'T THEY? I DON'T THINK THEY
ARE ANYMORE, ARE THEY? BUT, HEY,

01:17:06.373 --> 01:17:10.243
THINGS CHANGE. BUT IT'S REALLY
GONNA BE CHANGED IN THE NEW

01:17:10.243 --> 01:17:14.684
HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH. YOU'RE
NOT GONNA SLEEP ANYMORE. THE NEW

01:17:14.684 --> 01:17:18.764
JERUSALEM IS GONNA BE THE REAL
CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS. THERE'S

01:17:18.764 --> 01:17:22.963
NO NIGHTTIME. AND I'M GUESSING
AT THAT POINT, THERE'LL MOST

01:17:22.963 --> 01:17:28.064
LIKELY BE A CONSTANT REGULATED
TEMPERATURE. "THE SUN BRINGS

01:17:28.064 --> 01:17:33.283
LIGHT AND HEAT TO OUR EARTH
PRESENTLY. "WITHOUT THE SUN, I

01:17:33.283 --> 01:17:35.743
ASSUME THAT GOD WILL GIVE
US "PERFECT TEMPERATURE

01:17:35.743 --> 01:17:40.484
REGULATION." WOULDN'T THAT BE
WONDERFUL? "NO MORE DISCUSSIONS

01:17:40.484 --> 01:17:43.573
BETWEEN HUSBANDS AND WIVES "OVER
THE SETTING OF THE THERMOSTAT.

01:17:43.573 --> 01:17:48.673
"TURN IT UP, NO I WANT IT DOWN.
"TURN IT UP, NO I WANT IT DOWN."

01:17:50.503 --> 01:17:54.314
SOMEONE SAID, "THERMOSTATS CAUSE
MORE ARGUMENTS THAN POLITICS."

01:17:58.753 --> 01:18:02.413
THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY OF
THAT IN THE NEW JERUSALEM. JESUS

01:18:02.413 --> 01:18:05.654
IS GOING TO HAVE HIS HAND ON THE
THERMOSTAT, AND EVERYONE'S GOING

01:18:05.654 --> 01:18:09.944
TO BE HAPPY. YOU KNOW, YOU THINK
ABOUT THE MOON'S EFFECT ON THE

01:18:09.944 --> 01:18:13.573
EARTH. YOU KNOW, THE PART
OF MOON'S GRAVITATIONAL PULL

01:18:13.573 --> 01:18:18.253
REGULATES THE OCEAN TIDES. BUT
IT'S NO PROBLEM NOT HAVING A

01:18:18.253 --> 01:18:22.033
MOON ANYMORE BECAUSE IT TELLS US
IN THE VERSE WE JUST READ THAT

01:18:22.033 --> 01:18:26.533
THERE'S NO SEA ANYMORE. THERE
WILL BE A RIVER, WE'RE GONNA

01:18:26.533 --> 01:18:29.984
READ ABOUT THAT IN CHAPTER
22, BUT THERE'S NO SEA ON THIS

01:18:29.984 --> 01:18:33.884
EARTH. YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW THE
EARTH'S SURFACE IS ABOUT 71%

01:18:33.884 --> 01:18:40.993
WATER. BUT THE NEW EARTH,
THERE'LL BE NO SEA. BUT WE'LL

01:18:40.993 --> 01:18:45.764
SEE THAT IN CHAPTER 22. BY THE
WAY, THERE'S NO SEA FOR YOU

01:18:45.764 --> 01:18:51.493
BEACH LOVERS, SO IF YOU'RE GONNA
MISS THE BEACH, I'M SORRY. BUT

01:18:51.493 --> 01:18:54.823
AGAIN, YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT
EVEN GONNA CARE. IN REALITY,

01:18:54.823 --> 01:18:58.363
EVERYTHING THAT YOU LOVE NOW
WILL BE MUCH BETTER THAN THERE.

01:18:58.363 --> 01:19:02.144
OR HERE. MUCH BETTER HERE. MUCH
BETTER THERE THAN HERE, THAT'S

01:19:02.144 --> 01:19:04.724
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY. YOU GOT
IT, YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT I MEAN.

01:19:06.104 --> 01:19:09.373
YOUR DESIRE WILL BE TOTALLY
FOCUSED ON THE LORD AND THE

01:19:09.373 --> 01:19:12.793
THINGS IN THIS NEW HEAVEN, WHICH
IS LITERALLY ON EARTH. GOD WILL

01:19:12.793 --> 01:19:16.094
GIVE US ASSIGNMENTS. WE'RE GONNA
BE RULING AND REIGNING WITH HIM.

01:19:17.354 --> 01:19:22.154
IT'S GONNA BE SO NEW AND SO
INCREDIBLE. IT'S GONNA BE FAR

01:19:22.154 --> 01:19:27.224
ABOVE ANYTHING THAT WE
EXPERIENCE NOW. WE CAN'T IMAGINE

01:19:27.224 --> 01:19:30.445
IT REALLY. VERSE 12 TELLS US
THAT THE WALLS OF THIS CITY WILL

01:19:30.445 --> 01:19:36.373
BE HIGH AND WIDE WITH 12 GATES,
REVELATION 21:12. ALSO, SHE HAD

01:19:36.373 --> 01:19:40.123
A GREAT AND HIGH WALL WITH 12
GATES, 12 ANGELS AT THE GATES,

01:19:40.123 --> 01:19:42.640
AND THE NAMES WRITTEN ON THEM,
WHICH ARE THE NAMES OF THE 12

01:19:42.640 --> 01:19:47.685
TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL. IT'S INTERESTING, VERSE

01:19:47.685 --> 01:19:52.814
13 DESCRIBES THE SPECIFIC LAYOUT
OF THESE GATES. IT SAYS THERE'S

01:19:52.814 --> 01:19:55.184
THREE GATES ON THE EAST, THREE
GATES ON THE NORTH, THREE GATES

01:19:55.184 --> 01:19:58.453
ON THE SOUTH, AND THREE GATES ON
THE WEST. AND WHEN YOU LOOK INTO

01:19:58.453 --> 01:20:01.181
THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOK OF
NUMBERS, YOU'LL SEE THE

01:20:01.181 --> 01:20:05.953
CONFIGURATION OF THE ENCAMPMENT
OF ISRAEL. AND THIS IS WHERE, AT

01:20:05.953 --> 01:20:09.163
THE TIME THEY WERE MOVING OUT
OF SLAVERY IN EGYPT INTO THE

01:20:09.163 --> 01:20:13.333
PROMISED LAND. NUMBERS 2 AND 3
LAYS OUT THE CONFIGURATION OF

01:20:13.333 --> 01:20:16.094
THE DIFFERENT TRIBES. AND JUST
SO THAT YOU COULD SEE IT FOR

01:20:16.094 --> 01:20:23.833
FUN, I WANTED YOU TO SEE A
PICTURE OF THAT. AND HERE IS

01:20:23.833 --> 01:20:29.354
WHAT COULD BE THE SAME NAMES
THAT ARE ON THE GATES THAT ARE

01:20:29.354 --> 01:20:34.243
REFERRED TO IN THIS CHAPTER
21 OF REVELATION. THIS WAS

01:20:34.243 --> 01:20:38.984
SPECIFICALLY LAID OUT BY GOD'S
INSTRUCTION FOR ISRAEL. LIKE I

01:20:38.984 --> 01:20:42.434
SAID, IT'S OUT OF NUMBERS
CHAPTER 2 AND CHAPTER 3. BUT

01:20:42.434 --> 01:20:45.613
BIBLE SCHOLARS BELIEVE THESE
GATES MIGHT HAVE THE SAME NAMES

01:20:45.613 --> 01:20:49.094
OF THE TRIBES THAT ARE
IDENTICAL TO THIS ENCAMPMENT

01:20:49.094 --> 01:20:54.673
CONFIGURATION. VERSE 13 TELLS
US SPECIFICALLY IN THE TEXT THAT

01:20:54.673 --> 01:20:56.863
THERE WERE THREE GATES. GO AHEAD
AND LEAVE THAT UP FOR A MINUTE.

01:20:56.863 --> 01:21:03.159
THREE GATES ON THE EAST. WE
HAVE THREE GATES. WE HAVE JUDAH,

01:21:03.159 --> 01:21:08.050
ISSACHAR, AND ZEBULUN HERE.
THREE GATES ON THE SOUTH, GAD,

01:21:08.050 --> 01:21:13.600
SIMEON, REUBEN. THREE GATES
OVER HERE ON THE WEST, BENJAMIN,

01:21:13.600 --> 01:21:17.470
MANASSEH, AND EPHRAIM. AND
THEN WE HAVE THREE GATES ON THE

01:21:17.470 --> 01:21:23.859
NORTH, DAN, ASHER, AND NAPHTALI.
SO THAT COULD BE, WE DON'T KNOW

01:21:23.859 --> 01:21:28.840
FOR SURE, THAT COULD BE THE SAME
CONFIGURATION THAT IS USED IN

01:21:28.840 --> 01:21:33.609
THE HOLY CITY. 12 TRIBES OF
ISRAEL ON THE GATES. IT WOULD BE

01:21:33.609 --> 01:21:37.210
INTERESTING IF THE NEW JERUSALEM
IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS

01:21:37.210 --> 01:21:40.720
ENCAMPMENT UP HERE. EDDIE, YOU
CAN COME BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT

01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:46.390
READY TO CLOSE HERE. REVELATION
21:14 SAYS, "NOW THE WALL OF THE

01:21:46.390 --> 01:21:49.659
CITY HAD 12 FOUNDATIONS, AND ON
THEM WERE THE NAMES OF THE 12

01:21:49.659 --> 01:21:53.260
APOSTLES OF THE LAMB." SO THAT'S
AN INTERESTING THING, TOO. THE

01:21:53.260 --> 01:21:57.489
LAMB IS A TITLE THAT'S USED, OF
COURSE, TO DESCRIBE JESUS. IT'S

01:21:57.489 --> 01:22:00.220
USED MORE THAN ANY OTHER TITLE
IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. IT'S

01:22:00.220 --> 01:22:05.140
USED 26 TIMES. IT'S A REFERENCE
TO JESUS. HE IS THE LAMB. AND IT

01:22:05.140 --> 01:22:08.140
SAYS, "THE CITY HAD 12
FOUNDATIONS, "AND ON THEM WERE

01:22:08.140 --> 01:22:12.609
THE NAMES OF THE 12 APOSTLES "OF
JESUS," OR THE LAMB. WHO ARE THE

01:22:12.609 --> 01:22:18.310
12 APOSTLES? WELL, WE KNOW THAT
JUDAS PROBABLY IS NOT INCLUDED

01:22:18.310 --> 01:22:25.539
IN THAT LIST. SO, WE HAVE 11
APOSTLES. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT

01:22:25.539 --> 01:22:32.380
ACTS 1:26, IT SAYS, "THEY CAST
THEIR LOTS, AND THE LOT FELL ON

01:22:32.380 --> 01:22:37.659
MATTHIAS, AND HE WAS NUMBERED
WITH THE ELEVEN APOSTLES." SO

01:22:37.659 --> 01:22:43.060
ACCORDING TO THE WORD, THEY CAST
LOTS AND MATTHIAS WAS PICKED AS

01:22:43.060 --> 01:22:47.109
THE TWELFTH APOSTLE. NOW SOME
THEOLOGIANS BELIEVE IT'S GOING

01:22:47.109 --> 01:22:50.020
TO BE THE APOSTLE PAUL. I DON'T
KNOW EXACTLY WHY. I HAVEN'T

01:22:50.020 --> 01:22:53.560
REALLY STUDIED THAT OUT. ALL I'M
GOING BY IS WHAT THE WORD SAYS,

01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:58.029
ACTS 1:26. IT SAYS THAT MATTHIAS
WAS IT. SO WE'LL GO WITH THAT.

01:22:58.029 --> 01:23:00.970
AND I DID HAVE A PICTURE OUT
HERE SO YOU COULD SEE THE TWELVE

01:23:00.970 --> 01:23:04.840
APOSTLES. AND I'M NOT GOING TO
TAKE TIME TO NAME THOSE. BUT

01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:08.140
IT'S JUST ONE MORE PROOF TO ME
THAT GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH

01:23:08.140 --> 01:23:13.149
JEWISH HISTORY. VERSE 12 TELLS
US THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL HAVE

01:23:13.149 --> 01:23:15.909
THEIR NAMES WRITTEN ON THE GATES
OF THE NEW JERUSALEM. AND THEN

01:23:15.909 --> 01:23:20.109
VERSE 14 EXPLAINS THE WALLS OF
THE CITY HAVE 12 FOUNDATIONS

01:23:20.109 --> 01:23:24.520
WITH THE 12 APOSTLES' NAMES
WRITTEN ON THEM. AND IT APPEARS

01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:27.789
TO ME THAT THERE'S STILL A
SIGNIFICANT ROLE THAT JEWISH

01:23:27.789 --> 01:23:32.859
HISTORY PLAYS IN OUR PROPHETIC
FUTURE. YOU KNOW, WE HEAR PEOPLE

01:23:32.859 --> 01:23:36.970
SAY TODAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, GOD'S
DONE WITH ISRAEL. AND THE JEWISH

01:23:36.970 --> 01:23:41.800
PEOPLE HAD THEIR CHANCE. THAT IS
NOT ACCURATE AND IT IS NOT TRUE.

01:23:43.210 --> 01:23:46.630
GOD IS NOT DONE WITH THE JEWISH
PEOPLE AND GOD'S NOT DONE WITH

01:23:46.630 --> 01:23:51.880
THE NATION OF ISRAEL. MUCH OF
FUTURE BIBLE PROPHECY IS HINGED

01:23:51.880 --> 01:23:55.600
TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL. WE
LOOKED PREVIOUSLY AT SEVERAL

01:23:55.600 --> 01:23:58.930
SCRIPTURES CONCERNING THE
REBIRTH OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL.

01:23:58.930 --> 01:24:03.789
WE TALKED ABOUT THE MAY 14TH,
1948 HEADLINE IN THE PALESTINE

01:24:03.789 --> 01:24:07.810
POST THAT SAID, THE STATE OF
ISRAEL IS BORN. AND THEN WE

01:24:07.810 --> 01:24:11.020
LOOKED AT SCRIPTURES, ONE OF
THEM EZEKIEL 38, VERSES 11

01:24:11.020 --> 01:24:14.829
THROUGH 14, IT SAID THERE
THAT EZEKIEL PROPHESIED THE

01:24:14.829 --> 01:24:18.460
REFORMATION OF THE STATE OF
ISRAEL, THE REGATHERING OF THE

01:24:18.460 --> 01:24:23.920
JEWISH PEOPLE. HE DID THAT 2,600
YEARS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. AND

01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:28.180
ISAIAH ALSO PROPHESIED THAT
ISRAEL WOULD COME BACK AGAIN TO

01:24:28.180 --> 01:24:33.159
A NATION IN ISAIAH 11:11. AND I
THINK IT JUST BOLSTERS OUR FAITH

01:24:33.159 --> 01:24:37.869
TO REALIZE THAT PROPHECIES THAT
ARE OVER 2,000 YEARS OLD WERE

01:24:37.869 --> 01:24:43.510
JUST FULFILLED IN 1948. AND THE
THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT IN THE

01:24:43.510 --> 01:24:46.869
BOOK OF REVELATION COULD NOT
COME TO PASS IN THE WAY THAT

01:24:46.869 --> 01:24:50.470
THEY'RE PROPHESIED IF ISRAEL
HAD NOT BEEN A NATION AGAIN.

01:24:50.470 --> 01:24:55.720
HALLELUJAH. IT'S AMAZING.
WHAT AN ASSURANCE TO US THAT

01:24:55.720 --> 01:24:59.439
PROPHETIC EVENTS, IT'S GETTING
DARK IN HERE. MEANS IT'S TIME TO

01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:03.609
CLOSE, I GUESS THEY WANT ME OUT
OF HERE, PASTOR DAVE. IT'S AN

01:25:03.609 --> 01:25:06.140
ASSURANCE THAT THE PROPHETIC
EVENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN

01:25:06.140 --> 01:25:11.140
THE BOOK OF REVELATION WILL
INEVITABLY COME TO PASS, AMEN.

01:25:11.140 --> 01:25:16.750
IT'S IN THEIR FUTURE. GOD IS
KEEPING HIS HISTORY WITH THE

01:25:16.750 --> 01:25:22.899
JEWISH PEOPLE INTACT AS WE GO
FORWARD IN THE FUTURE. AND AS WE

01:25:22.899 --> 01:25:26.470
CONCLUDE, I AGAIN WANT YOU TO
IMAGINE THAT BEAUTIFUL CITY THAT

01:25:26.470 --> 01:25:31.659
WE CAN'T EVEN FATHOM. IT'S OUR
FUTURE. EVERY DAY WE LIVE, OUR

01:25:31.659 --> 01:25:34.539
PRAYER IS THAT WE WOULD
INFLUENCE OTHERS TO COME TO

01:25:34.539 --> 01:25:37.630
CHRIST SO THAT THEY TOO COULD
ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF THIS

01:25:37.630 --> 01:25:43.390
BEAUTIFUL CITY. WHAT AN AWESOME
FUTURE GOD'S PREPARED FOR US.

01:25:43.390 --> 01:25:47.260
MAY WE BE MOTIVATED MORE THAN
EVER TO REACH PEOPLE FOR THE

01:25:47.260 --> 01:25:54.550
GOSPEL, FOR CHRIST. GOD'S GIVING
US MORE TIME. HE'S GIVEN US MORE

01:25:54.550 --> 01:25:58.997
TIME. WELL, NEXT TIME, WE'RE
GOING TO FINISH WITH VERSES 15

01:25:58.997 --> 01:26:02.560
THROUGH 27, AND THEN WE'LL
HOPEFULLY GET THROUGH THE FINAL

01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:06.579
CHAPTER OF REVELATION, CHAPTER
22. BUT IN CLOSING TONIGHT, I

01:26:06.579 --> 01:26:13.420
ASKED EDDIE TO COME BACK AND
SING AGAIN FOR US, "I CAN ONLY

01:26:13.420 --> 01:26:18.520
IMAGINE." BECAUSE IT'S SO
FITTING FOR WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT

01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:21.939
TONIGHT, THE NEW HEAVEN, THE NEW
EARTH, THE NEW JERUSALEM. I CAN

01:26:21.939 --> 01:26:26.229
ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WILL BE
LIKE WHEN I WALK BY YOUR SIDE. I

01:26:26.229 --> 01:26:29.710
CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT MY EYES
WOULD SEE WHEN YOUR FACE IS

01:26:29.710 --> 01:26:33.250
BEFORE ME. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.
EDDIE, I'M GONNA GET YOU TO GO

01:26:33.250 --> 01:26:35.739
AHEAD AND LEAD US. WHY DON'T YOU
STAND WITH ME TONIGHT AND JUST

01:26:35.739 --> 01:26:38.230
WORSHIP THE LORD AS
YOU SING WITH EDDIE.

01:26:39.733 --> 01:27:01.729
(MUSIC)

01:30:19.840 --> 01:30:23.529
OH, HALLELUJAH. WE CAN ONLY
IMAGINE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE

01:30:23.529 --> 01:30:27.130
LIKE TO BE WITH YOU, LORD.
WE WORSHIP YOU IN THIS PLACE

01:30:27.130 --> 01:30:30.909
TONIGHT, LORD. I PRAY A BLESSING
ON THOSE THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT,

01:30:30.909 --> 01:30:37.091
LORD. LORD, THAT YOU WOULD
DIRECT US, GUIDE US, AND USE US

01:30:37.091 --> 01:30:41.590
