[0:00] Take your Bibles if you would and go with me to Psalm chapter 67 or the 67th Psalm. And we are in an exciting Psalm, a missionary Psalm. Over 200 years ago, back in the early 1800s, a young man named Adonai Judson was about to go to the mission field of Burma.
[0:20] They used this Psalm to preach his going away message. If you'll read the Psalm, you'll notice the words, all nations, all the people, all the ends of the earth.
[0:33] Adonai Judson is the first white American missionary, American Baptist missionary to go to the mission field. The reason I say white, a couple of black guys already beat them out and went to the mission field first.
[0:46] And they're often forgotten, but they went to Jamaica and were doing some great things. But Adonai Judson is the famous guy because that's who, I guess, whoever wrote the history.
[0:56] But just know Adonai Judson goes. The preacher said the Psalm was a prayer to God that the world might know God's way and God's saving faith, God's saving health.
[1:10] If you got chapter 67 open, you'll see that in verse 2. He was being sent forth to seek the salvation of all mankind, the preacher said, because of the truths the Bible gave.
[1:24] And the preacher preached and used these verses. He said Jesus tasted death for all men. In Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 9, the Bible says, But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that he, by the grace of God, should taste death for every man.
[1:49] If you're in this room today, you aren't born again, you're not saved, I'm sure you'd go to heaven if you died. Jesus died for you. He died for you. I could say that with confidence. He tasted death for every man.
[2:02] The preacher went on to say that he was to go to all mankind because in 1 John 2, 2, the Bible says, Jesus is a propitiation, the sin payment, the sin offering for the sins of the whole world.
[2:16] And he proceeded to quote 1 John 2, 2, which says, He is a propitiation for our sins and not ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
[2:27] And he said, boy, God sent Jesus to die and pay for everybody. Pay for the Chinese. Pay for the Indonesians. Pay for the Indians. Pay for the Africans. Pay for the Americans.
[2:39] Pay for everybody. He did. Then the preacher used another verse. And that verse was Revelation 22, 17, where he said that he could go and offer them the water of life freely based on this verse.
[2:52] Look at what it says. And the spirit and the bride, that's the church, the bride, the spirit and the bride say, let him that hears say, come. Let him that's a thirst, come.
[3:05] And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. As the preacher finished his sermon that day, he told the people, This may be your last time to ever see the Judson family as they leave to go to the mission field.
[3:23] But they will preach the truth, he said, that gives you comfort in life and hope in death. And they'll preach it to the people in Burma. That's not like a good message, amen?
[3:34] I'd like to have been there 200 and something years ago. He doesn't leave a video recording of it. He didn't leave an audio recording of it. Just what was written up about it, but that's pretty good.
[3:45] And he told them as he ended, God is about to do a marvelous work. You're going to read Psalm 67 with me this morning, and I think that you're going to enjoy that.
[3:56] But this Psalm is also what we call a millennial Psalm. You might want to write that in the margin of your Bible. It's a missionary Psalm, and you can see that. All people, all nations to the ends of the earth.
[4:07] But it's also a millennial. You remember the millennium as we live here on this earth. Here's a fact for you. The world's not about to end.
[4:18] We're not going to die of global warming. None of the things that are threatening you is going to happen. If you believe the word of God, the world's here for at least another thousand years. And it's called a millennial kingdom.
[4:30] And Jesus will come, and he'll set up a kingdom, and he will rule on earth. And so you don't have to worry about it. And people are always freaking out about what the world's going to be here.
[4:41] And I'm like, oh, you ain't got to worry about that. I've been telling them that since I was a kid. As a kid, I knew more than the scientists did because I knew what the word of God said. Amen. And they would say, well, we might be born all dying in a nuclear explosion.
[4:52] I said, if we do, don't worry. The world will still be here, and people will still be here because Jesus has come back and set up a kingdom. Amen. Read the Bible. It will give you a lot of hope. I want you to go with me, if you would, to Psalm 67 and verse 4.
[5:04] And I want to show you how I know this is a millennial psalm. Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy. Underline, thou shalt judge.
[5:16] You will be the judge, and you will judge the people righteously. Thou, God, they're talking to God, talking to Jesus. He will judge. And then he will govern the nations upon earth.
[5:28] He will govern. He will govern the nations upon earth. It's all over the Bible. As you read the Bible, if you're not aware of that, you might miss a lot of great things that are in the Bible.
[5:38] But there's a millennial kingdom coming. I'd like to take you to Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 6. Before we get into the passage, to help you kind of get this understanding, this is a verse you use all the time for Christmas.
[5:55] It's really not about Christmas. It's about the millennial kingdom, and you'll soon see that. But you've often heard it. As a kid, I used to wonder, how did that happen? I'm not sure how that worked, because he didn't do any of this.
[6:07] But read with me if you would. Unto us, a child is born. Unto us, a son is given. Now watch this. And the government shall be upon his shoulder.
[6:19] Underline, the government. That's just like what it said in Psalm 67. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
[6:34] That hasn't happened yet. But it's going to happen. You'll see that in Psalm 67. It's going to happen. You know, he's not been the Prince of Peace yet. Underline that.
[6:44] He came to bring peace. But then he said to his disciples, I didn't come to bring peace. I came to bring a sword. I came to separate families.
[6:55] I came to find out who wanted to be on my side and who didn't want to be on my side. Look at verse 7. Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 7. Of the increase of his government. Underline government.
[7:07] That's government. Of the increase of his government and peace. Peace. There shall be no end. There's been a lot of peace. The peace has ended. If you think it happened at Christmas.
[7:19] That we've been at peace since then. Can I remind you of War I? And World War II. And Korea. And Vietnam. And the Civil War. And all the other wars.
[7:30] There's not been peace. But there will be. Upon the throne of David. Underline that. God has promised David that his seed will sit on that throne.
[7:41] And Jesus will come and sit on that throne. And upon his kingdom. Underline the word kingdom. To order it. And to establish it with judgment. And with justice.
[7:53] From henceforth then. Even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts. Will perform this. This verse has not happened yet.
[8:04] But it will happen in the millennial kingdom. The 1,000 year reign of the Lord Jesus Christ. There's a time coming. And it could happen any day.
[8:15] When Jesus will come and rapture all of the believers out of here. And we'll be taken to heaven. And then there will start the most intense. Insane. Crazy. Suffering on the planet.
[8:26] That you've ever heard of. Nothing has ever happened. That will equal that seven year period. And at the end of that seven year period. Jesus will come out of heaven. Come down to earth.
[8:36] His feet will touch the Mount Volives. And it will split and make a big valley. Geography will change. And he will sit upon his throne.
[8:47] And then the government will be upon his shoulders. He will be the Prince of Peace. The first time. It wasn't the Prince of Peace. He brought a sword. And he caused division.
[8:59] Soon he will sit upon the throne of David. Now because I like to teach you the Bible. And I think you like learning the Bible. When you read the Old Testament.
[9:12] You often come across what we call. Mountain peaks of prophecy. So when a person of the Old Testament prophet. Was standing there. And God showed him the future.
[9:23] He'd see a mountain peak. And he'd see what was on it. And then he would see the next one. And he'd see what was on it. But he had no idea how much time was between the two. And they got kind of stuck together.
[9:35] Like he thought that's how it was going to happen. If you were ever. If I could have taken you with me to go to Arequipa. And live in Arequipa with me. I went up to Cusco.
[9:46] Which is 11,000 feet above sea level. And I'm on my way out to Quillabamba. Which is called the eyebrow of the jungle. It's about 3,000 feet above sea level. And the road is only about 60 miles long.
[9:58] And it takes about five hours to drive that road. And it's a road. It's not mountain road. It's well. For you it would be. But for Peruvians it's like a good road. I never thought so.
[10:10] I lived there 18 years. Never thought so. And I was driving with a bunch of Peruvians in the car. And I said good night. Are we ever going to get there? And so we come across a little Quechua man.
[10:22] He speaks Quechua. And he's a short little guy. And we stopped. And I said hey. Could you tell me how far it is to Quillabamba? And he said a casito.
[10:33] Which means just right over here. And I said they told me that about an hour ago. He said yeah yeah. That's right. Just right over here. And he said can you see that hill? And I looked over the hill.
[10:43] Man there was a hill. Nobody told me how deep the valleys were between them hills. Amen. They didn't tell me I zigzagged down and zigzagged back up. Before I got to the other side. But so when you look in the Bible you'll see things.
[10:56] And so Jewish people when they looked in the Bible they didn't want a suffering savior. They wanted a reigning king. And so they looked past the first mountain and saw the second mountain.
[11:07] And they rejected Jesus because he came to die on purpose. You need to know he died on purpose. John chapter 10. No accident.
[11:19] No one grabbed him. No one killed him. No one beat up the poor little innocent Jesus. He came to lay down his life the scriptures say. And but he will come back as a reigning king.
[11:32] I will show you a verse about this. Then I'll take you to Psalm 67. Read with me Isaiah 61 verses 1 and 2. Isaiah chapter 61 verses 1 and 2.
[11:45] If you'll read that with me. Now if you'll notice here in Isaiah chapter 61. It says the spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord hath anointed me.
[11:55] Now stop just real quick. If you go to the New Testament this is where Jesus preached. First time Jesus walked in. He's 30 years old. He's about to start his public ministry.
[12:05] And he walks in and says I'll take the scroll of Isaiah. They reach over in their box of all the scrolls. They hand in the scroll. He unrolls the scroll. And says this is what I'm preaching. This is about me.
[12:16] Now watch what he said. He said the spirit of the Lord is upon me. Because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted.
[12:26] To proclaim liberty to the captives. And the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Now guess what Jesus did.
[12:38] That's where he stopped. He didn't keep reading. Because they got him right side by side. And Jesus came in a day of grace and mercy.
[12:50] And opportunity to be saved. And you need to know this this morning. Today he stands ready to save you. But the saving time is going to run out real quick.
[13:01] Now I don't know when that will be. It could go on for years in your life. Or you could die today. Or you could die tomorrow. Or Jesus could come back and it could all be over. But Jesus stood and said.
[13:12] I'm here in the acceptable year of the Lord. The next time he comes back. The rest of the verse finishes. And the day of vengeance. Of our God.
[13:26] You proclaim the acceptable year. Which is a lot different than the day of vengeance. Boy it's a great time. And God's fixing to kill everybody. That's not what was going on.
[13:36] It's the two parts of it together. Jesus used that text. To start. I need you to understand this morning. If you're not born again. If you're not saved.
[13:46] If you're watching or listening. Or you're in the room. Today's a day of salvation. And today you can be saved. But I don't know if you'll be able to be saved tomorrow.
[13:57] I don't know if Jesus may come back. And I don't know if you'll live. I don't know if your heart will be ready for it. But today he offers you salvation. And as I preach and you hear this.
[14:08] He's offering you salvation. And it's your responsibility. Your responsibility. To accept the truth. That God gives you.
[14:18] And to know that you'd go to heaven. When you die. Now go with me if you would. To Psalm 67 and verse 1. We'll divide it in three parts. Like the writer did. With the sealers in it.
[14:29] Look if you would at verse 1. The great need. God be merciful unto us. And bless us. And cause his face. To shine upon us.
[14:42] Selah. Stop and think about what he said. That's what that means. Stop and think. And here's what he's saying. Here's a prayer from the nation of Israel. To God.
[14:53] They needed God to work in their lives. They often spend their existence entirely surrounded. By enemy soldiers wanting to kill them. And they desperately need God to be merciful.
[15:06] They desperately need God. To shine his face on them. They need God to bless them. And so they cry out to him. The nation of Israel has been suffering a lot.
[15:16] For all of history. And so even now. This Psalm would be true. A Christian Jew could say. Oh God. Be merciful. Oh God. Bless your people.
[15:27] Oh God. Cause your face to shine upon us. And when Jesus comes back. And sets up his kingdom. They will experience the greatness. Of having his face.
[15:38] Shine upon them. But I want to remind you. All the world needs mercy. All the world needs mercy. All the world needs to be blessed.
[15:49] All the world needs hope. People are dying. Without hope. All over the world. People are dying without hope. Can you imagine being a Hindu?
[16:01] They fully expect to die. And come back to earth. Reincarnation. How they are born and live. Is due to what they did in their last lifetime. So when you meet a poor Hindu.
[16:12] He must have done something wrong. If you meet one that's got some kind of physical ailment. Or mental inability. It would be what he did in his last lifetime. Their goal is self-knowledge.
[16:24] Their lives are lived out based on karma. Whether they've been good or bad. Naughty or nice. That's how they live their lives. They can come back as a fly.
[16:38] Or a cow. Or wealthy and healthy. They never know. Man, wouldn't that be a terrible way to live? I better be nice to you today. Because, man, I don't want to be a cow when I come back.
[16:50] I better not steal from you. I wouldn't want to be a mosquito when I come back. I better be. Man, everything's based on how I act. Can you imagine being a Muslim?
[17:02] They do not believe in reincarnation. They will live in their grave. Very likely looking towards their final destination. When a Muslim dies. I got this off a Muslim website.
[17:14] When a Muslim dies. Whether he's been good or bad. Whether he's done right or not right by their beliefs. When he's in the grave. He'll rest in the grave. And he'll either look towards heaven and blessings.
[17:27] Or towards hell and suffering. Because of how he acted. And how he lived. Their eternity is based on complete obedience.
[17:40] Can you imagine that? How would you like to live knowing? Heaven will be a place full of sensual pleasures. Hell is boiling water. Water and fire.
[17:52] Most of your life would be predetermined by Allah. They need hope. They need mercy. Can you imagine being a Buddhist?
[18:03] When they die, life's not over. Death is a new beginning, they say. They'll be reborn. Reincarnated. They can come back as a human.
[18:14] Right off their website. A human. An animal. They can go to heaven. They can go to hell. And they can come back as a hungry ghost. I didn't look that part up. I wondered what a hungry ghost is. But anyway.
[18:24] I only know about Casper the ghost when I was a kid. But y'all never heard of him, you young people. All is dependent on their actions. Again. Karma all over. They can float around before returning for up to seven years.
[18:36] The question is, can I be good enough to get to heaven? Can you imagine being an atheist? What's life about?
[18:48] Who decides? You're simply an evolved animal. You live for yourself. And death just means the end of it all. You probably know better in your heart. There's at least a shadow of fear.
[19:00] But can you imagine being an atheist? The prayer request is, God, be merciful unto us and bless us and cause your face to shine.
[19:12] Every person in the world is involved in a religion of either works or grace. I just gave you the Hindu, the Muslim, the Buddhist, and even the atheist.
[19:27] And it's all based on what you do. But Christianity is based on what Jesus did. I don't have to live thinking, boy, if I'm not careful and I mess up, I'm going to be boiling water and hot fire.
[19:44] I don't have to worry about whether or not karma. I don't, I've never even considered that I'd be coming back as a lizard. Thank the Lord. Amen. Because you worship the God of the Bible.
[19:56] Now, if you don't know the grace of God, whether you're a Buddhist or a Hindu or an atheist, if you don't know the grace of God, you're going to hell. To a place of suffering. No one wants to talk about that.
[20:07] But the Bible's really clear. There really is a hell. And people really go there. And people really stay there. And what people need is grace and mercy. Everyone hungers for blessings on their lives from the divine.
[20:23] Every religion, we hunger for it from the God of heaven. In Numbers chapter 6 and verse 23. You know what a spiritual leader in the nation of Israel said to the people as they left?
[20:36] Numbers 6, 23. Listen to this. Speak unto Aaron and unto his son, saying, On this wise you shall bless the children of Israel. And say unto them, The Lord bless you and keep you.
[20:49] The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give you peace. I believe with all my heart that all over the world, everybody wants that.
[21:07] I think they're praying Psalm 67, 1 without even knowing it. They wish they knew truth. And it's been Israel's responsibility since the very beginning to take that truth to the world.
[21:24] In Genesis chapter 12 and verses 1 through 3. And for the second time, I'm going to summarize most of it. But God tells Abraham, I'm going to make a great nation out of you. And you shall be a blessing.
[21:37] In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. They were blessed to be a blessing. The nation of Israel was handpicked by God to be the messengers of blessings to the world.
[21:52] They were not blessed to be blessed. They were blessed to be a blessing. Today you and I live in the New Testament age. And we live in a time when God has chosen to bless the church.
[22:03] And to bless us as individuals. And we are highly blessed. But we're not blessed to keep it for ourselves. We're blessed to be a blessing. And I wish before I go to the next part of the psalm that you realize all over the world people are crying out and saying, Oh God, I wish there was a way out.
[22:19] Oh God, I wish I knew something. They don't have the truth that they need. Go with me to Psalm 67 too. When God answers with his merciful blessing, this is what the psalmist said.
[22:32] God, someday you're going to answer. And this is why I'm asking for the blessing. Look why I'm asking. You'll know that because in verse 2 it starts with that. Look at Psalm 67 too. That thy way may be known upon earth and thy saving health among all nations.
[22:49] He said, God, mercy. God, let your face shine upon us. God, bless us that your way may be known upon earth.
[23:01] Thy saving health among all nations. I need you to understand something. In Genesis 1.1 it says, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[23:13] God made us. And because God made us, we belong to God. All human beings. Not Christian people. Not American people. All human beings.
[23:24] In fact, it's the whole planet. Every plant and stone and animal and everything on this planet belongs to the creator, God. And the world has tried to come up with every way they can to solve a man's conscience.
[23:38] To make him feel good about where he is. If you'll do this and if you'll do this, you'll be okay. But there's only one who knows the way. And Jesus said to them, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
[23:50] No man comes to the Father but by me. Their gods may ask them to die. Your God died so you could live. Israel cried out to be blessed so they could be a blessing.
[24:04] We are responsible to do that. In future, the born again Jews will be the greatest witnesses of all time. You know that if you get to the book of Revelation, there'll be 12 tribes and 12,000 of every tribe.
[24:18] 144,000 witnesses will spread across the globe. And do in just a few days, weeks, months, years. What we've been trying to do all these years. But before I go on, this is a missionary psalm.
[24:31] I need you to realize this morning. Two out of every three people on the planet are not Christian. Don't claim to be Christian. I'm not saying they're not Christian by my definition.
[24:41] I'm saying they're not Christian by their definition. They're either Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims or atheists or a handful of other religions. There are all these religions, but they're not Christians.
[24:53] I don't even think all the people that call themselves Christians are born again. But I think it's hard for us to imagine that two out of every three people on this planet are not Christians.
[25:04] They don't even claim to be Christian. They don't even say they're Christian. You got a whole country of China that's an atheist country. You got a whole country of India that's a Hindu country and several other religions.
[25:18] 330 million gods they got over there. Most are hurting in a religion that binds and damns them to hell.
[25:32] And they need the saving health that only Jesus gives. And God wants all to be saved. I've shown you that at the beginning today.
[25:45] And the prayer in Psalm 67, look at verse 3. Let the people praise thee, O God. Let all the people praise thee. The psalmist prayer, inspired by the Holy Spirit of God who put it in his heart, the Holy Spirit of God says, write this down.
[26:02] This is going to be the songbook of the Jewish nation. Y'all are going to sing this. Y'all are going to pray this to me. Write this down. God, let the people praise you. You might think in that first phrase, that's Jewish people.
[26:15] But he clarifies it real good by the end of the verse when he says, let all the people praise thee. They do not know about him or what he can do in their lives.
[26:28] So they have no heart to praise God. I really wish you'd pay attention to listen to what I'm about to tell you. There's only one way to heaven.
[26:40] That's Jesus Christ and what he did on the cross of Calvary. You may think that all roads lead to God, but they don't. And you may think there are many ways a person can believe, but there aren't.
[26:55] And you may want a coexistence type of belief, but that's totally not biblical. Jesus said, no man comes to the father, but by me, no one.
[27:09] We must tell them so they can accept or reject truth. He wants the heathen nations to know the truth and have joy.
[27:20] Look at verse four. Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy. Now, when you see nations, you might not realize what's going on. But in a Jewish mind, there's Jews and there's Gentiles.
[27:35] There's us and them. There's Jews, the nation, and then there's the nations. Those are the pagans. Those are the non-God, God-fearing people.
[27:46] But as the psalmist writes this and sings it to God, he said, oh God, oh God, let the nations be glad. God, let them know your truth.
[27:57] Let them be saved. Let them have their sins forgiven. Wouldn't it be great to hear the songs of praise rising from China and India and Indonesia and Africa and all over the world?
[28:11] I have had the privilege of standing in a Chinese church, not understanding anything more than I was in a bunch of believers. They were singing a tune I knew. I couldn't contain my emotions.
[28:23] And I'm a very easily containable guy. I don't cry. I don't get upset. But it broke my heart. They praised the God of heaven. They might have been atheists, but they heard about Jesus who died on the cross for them.
[28:36] And they got saved. I've been in Africa. I've been in India. I've seen God make those changes. This is obviously mostly going to happen in the millennial kingdom.
[28:50] Look at Psalm 67 for. For thou shalt judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon earth. I went over that with you at the beginning.
[29:01] There's a coming a day when God's going to set up a kingdom here. I need you to understand what's going to happen. Today is the day of salvation.
[29:13] I'm preaching that message to anybody listening. You can know for sure you'll go to heaven. But you need to understand that the vast majority of the world will go to hell.
[29:28] And they will spend eternity there. They won't just quit existing. The worm dies not and the fire is not quenched.
[29:38] They'll be there forever. So here soon and who knows when Jesus will come and he'll rapture out his people and he'll rapture out his preachers.
[29:51] And wrath will fall on the earth because everybody's mocked God and played religious and played all this junk. And God's going to be like, wake up. What the word of God says is true.
[30:01] You should have preached it. You should have believed it. You should have lived it. And then shortly thereafter, God will set up a kingdom. But by then, the majority will have died and go to hell.
[30:19] And await a judgment before the judgment seat of Christ. Excuse me, before the great white throne where they'll be cast into hell. Their prayer, we're told, that Jesus told us to pray was, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
[30:36] You ever pray that? You know what that's talking about? It's not talking about the church. This isn't a kingdom. It's a church. It's a place for a bunch of brothers and sisters and family.
[30:47] We get together and talk about the Bible. There's a kingdom coming. His kingdom. God will restore the kingdom of David, Israel, and Jesus will sit on that throne.
[30:57] Go with me to Psalm 67.5. Finally, the whole world will recognize Jesus for who he is. And God's blessings will come upon the world.
[31:08] Psalm 67.5. Let the people praise thee, O God. Let all the people praise thee. God, I'd like to ask you what you're praying about.
[31:24] God, I need some money. God, I need some blessings. God, I need some health. But when the Holy Spirit gave them a prayer, this phrase of the prayer is, O God, I want the whole world to know about you.
[31:39] I want the whole world to praise you. I want all the people to know about you. I want everybody to know Jesus died for them. I want them all to know that they can be saved. Eventually, the 12,000 witnesses from the 12 tribes will all go out and spread across the world preaching.
[31:55] In Matthew 24.14, the Bible says, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations. Then shall the end come.
[32:08] This is a Jewish millennial psalm. It is a missionary psalm. It ought to weigh hard on our hearts. Boy, I thank God I was born in America. I thank God I was born in a place where I heard the gospel from the time I was a little guy.
[32:24] One of our little kids that comes in my office to get candy, they got a picture on Facebook. And she's holding up a broom, I believe it was. And she's singing about Jesus and the Bible telling her.
[32:36] So you know why that's happening. She was born in a place where she heard the gospel. Born in a place where she knew. There were kids born in India today. And in China and in Indonesia and in Africa.
[32:47] And in America and atheist homes of people that don't know Jesus. And they need the truth to be told to them. At the end, Jesus will set up his earthly kingdom.
[33:01] And he will reign. And when that happens, hundreds of millennial promises will begin to come true. I've told you about those in other times.
[33:11] You've got to come to church a lot to hear about it. But man, we're going to have lambs and wolves and lions laying down together and playing around together. And kids are going to be playing with snakes. And there won't be a bush kid.
[33:22] So it's going to be okay. And everything, snakes won't bite you. And it's going to be wonderful. But guess what also will happen? Agricultural blessings. Look at Psalm 67, 6.
[33:33] Then, when Jesus is lifted up. And then, when everybody's recognizing him. And then shall the earth yield her increase. And God, even our own God, shall bless us.
[33:45] He's going to pour out his blessings. And God shall bless us. And all the ends of the earth shall fear him. That's the end times.
[33:57] The part that's kind of untold in that verse is this. All the ends of the earth shall fear him. But many won't.
[34:09] But they'll be dead now. So it will be all the ends of the earth. But those non-believers. Those who shake their fists in the face of God. Those atheists.
[34:19] And those who would reject the Jesus of the Bible. Will be in hell. And all the earth. Will praise.
[34:30] God. We have an enormous amount of responsibility. I have right here the word of God. I've been taught the word of God.
[34:42] You've been taught the word of God. And yet thousands, millions, billions on this planet do not know about Jesus. That's why we give so much money to missions.
[34:53] That's why we send so many people to the mission field. That's why we travel to go to the mission field. They need Jesus. Jesus. And this may make you mad. But it's okay. There's only one way to heaven.
[35:07] It's Jesus or nothing. You either trust him. There's no other name. Get under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
[35:18] It's the name of Jesus. Anybody who tries to get to the kingdom going up except through the gate which is Jesus. The door which is Jesus is a thief and a robber and will be found out.
[35:30] You will come through Jesus. We must tell them. Now, you came today and you're not saved. And I think you think of it lightly.
[35:41] I think you're like, ah, it's okay. That guy's kind of crazy. That's pretty wild stories he told, wasn't it? But you need to understand something. You're going to die and go to hell if you don't get saved.
[35:54] You need to understand something. You have sinned against a holy God. The Bible says in Romans 3.10, there's none righteous, none perfect. Not a one on the planet.
[36:04] The Bible says in Romans 3.23, for all have sinned. All have fallen short of the glory of God. Nobody's good enough to go to heaven on the planet. The Bible is very clear.
[36:15] It says the wages of sin is death. You earn your hell. And that hell is not this life and not what's wrong going on in your life.
[36:26] It's going to happen at the end of your life. And you're going to wake up and there will be no second chance. There will be no praying you out of it. It will be for all eternity. The wages of sin is death.
[36:37] And death, the second death is the lake of fire. But the gift of God is eternal life. Through Jesus Christ, the Lord, he died for you. And he loves you.
[36:48] The Bible said, but God commended, God proved, God showed. God demonstrated his love in that while you were still sinning, Christ died for you. And if you would trust him, he'd save you.
[36:59] I am begging you today. Don't walk out of a missionary message. And go to hell. Don't leave here with a doubt.
[37:12] Don't leave here unconcerned. Don't take this flippantly. Trust Jesus now. Father in heaven, I thank you for the chance to talk to these people. Thank you for the chance to talk to my brothers and sisters and for friends that may not know you.
[37:27] And I beg you, God, to save people. I beg you to help us as a church to go. I beg you, God, to help us to give. I beg you, God, to help us care and pray.
[37:38] God, show yourself and show yourself powerful. I beg you to do that. God, save those that don't know you this morning. Don't let them just flippantly walk out of here like they just listened to this and leave.
[37:52] Let them take it to heart. Holy Spirit, convict. With heads bowed and eyes closed. No one's looking around. If you're not saved, I want to help you.
[38:03] Jesus loves you. I have people ready right now to take the Bible and pray with you. And answer your questions and show you from the Bible. We will not try to manipulate you.
[38:13] We'll try to get you to join the church, anything. We just want you to know you'll go to heaven when you die. Who would say, I'm not saved and I need help. Would you let me pray for you and help you?
[38:24] Would there be anybody like that? Would there be anybody like that? How many of you would say, I've not been praying for the world like I should? Psalm 67 hasn't been my prayer.
[38:35] And it's time for me to begin praying for lost people and praying for people to go to heaven. When you get out of your seat and find a place to pray, let's beg God to work. How can we rest easy when a world is dying and going to hell?
[38:52] How can we rest easy when their children have no hope and no preacher? Come on. Obey God right now. Whenever you finish praying, you can stand and sing with Stephen as he leads us in this song.
