00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.320
 Thanks, Radha.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:40.780
 So all the talks have been recorded.

00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:43.620
 If you've missed any, you can follow up on our website.

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.700
 You should have received a link recently.

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.640
 Ralph sent that around, which is helpful to us all.

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.620
 So let's hear God's word to us.

00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:59.700
 We're going to start at Revelation chapter 1 through to the end of the chapter.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.319
 Revelation. Sorry, did I say chapter 1?

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.500
 Chapter 7. Thank you.

00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:23.280
 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth,

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.920
 holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea,

00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:31.519
 or on any tree.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.799
 Then I saw another angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God.

00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:47.260
 He called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm the land and the sea.

00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:55.460
 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.

00:01:55.459 --> 00:01:59.359
 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed.

00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:04.859
 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

00:02:04.859 --> 00:02:09.479
 From the tribe of Judah, 12,000 were sealed.

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.359
 From the tribe of Reuben, 12,000.

00:02:13.859 --> 00:02:17.259
 From the tribe of Gad, 12,000.

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.019
 From the tribe of Asher, 12,000.

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:25.000
 From the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000.

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:28.860
 From the tribe of Manasseh, 12,000.

00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:32.580
 From the tribe of Simeon, 12,000.

00:02:32.980 --> 00:02:36.260
 From the tribe of Levi, 12,000.

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:39.899
 From the tribe of Ishikar, 12,000.

00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:43.659
 From the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000.

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:47.500
 From the tribe of Joseph, 12,000.

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.579
 From the tribe of Benjamin, 12,000.

00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:55.700
 After this I looked.

00:02:56.320 --> 00:03:00.240
 And there before me was a multitude that no one could count.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.939
 From every nation, tribe, people and language.

00:03:05.660 --> 00:03:08.200
 Standing before the throne and before the Lamb.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.980
 They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

00:03:13.380 --> 00:03:15.540
 And they cried out in a loud voice.

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.700
 Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.

00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:28.380
 All the angels were standing round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures.

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.580
 They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped God saying.

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:34.800
 Amen.

00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:37.580
 Praise and glory.

00:03:38.380 --> 00:03:42.040
 And wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength.

00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:45.240
 Be to our God forever and ever.

00:03:45.720 --> 00:03:46.240
 Amen.

00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:50.660
 Then one of the elders asked me.

00:03:51.580 --> 00:03:53.680
 These in white robes.

00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:55.360
 Who are they?

00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.220
 And where did they come from?

00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:00.480
 I answered.

00:04:01.820 --> 00:04:03.200
 Sir, you know.

00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:05.380
 And he said.

00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.400
 These are they who have come out of the great tribulation.

00:04:10.220 --> 00:04:13.560
 They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:20.759
 Therefore, they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple.

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.240
 And he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:28.060
 Never again will they hunger.

00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:30.759
 Never again will they thirst.

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.360
 The sun will not beat down on them nor any scorching heat.

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.660
 For the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd.

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:46.120
 And he will lead them to springs of living water.

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:51.519
 And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.799
 Let's pray.

00:04:54.799 --> 00:04:54.859
 Amen.

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:13.379
 Right now as we sit, as we listen, as we read your word.

00:05:13.379 --> 00:05:19.339
 Right now heaven is singing in praise.

00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:23.540
 Salvation to our God.

00:05:25.379 --> 00:05:30.839
 Father, we want to know your salvation.

00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.599
 We want every person here.

00:05:37.119 --> 00:05:39.519
 And every person in our families.

00:05:40.939 --> 00:05:42.339
 In our community.

00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:45.599
 To know the salvation of God.

00:05:47.719 --> 00:05:52.279
 And so we pray that you would give us a vision afresh.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.719
 Of all that you have done.

00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:55.720
 Amen.

00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:01.060
 So that we may be filled with hope and encouragement.

00:06:01.820 --> 00:06:04.940
 To share that salvation with others.

00:06:06.760 --> 00:06:09.080
 Please do that work amongst us.

00:06:09.940 --> 00:06:11.660
 We ask for nothing less.

00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:14.860
 And it's for your glory.

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:16.420
 And your honour.

00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:18.100
 And your praise.

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:19.800
 Amen.

00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.200
 Well, I had begun with great confidence.

00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.400
 Walking up Mangerton in Kerry was easy as far as I was concerned.

00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:38.060
 I had spotted a few other walkers in the distance.

00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:40.440
 So felt I was rather safe.

00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:45.420
 But once at the top, it started to rain.

00:06:46.640 --> 00:06:48.740
 And then the winds started blowing.

00:06:49.780 --> 00:06:52.280
 And then the clouds came down.

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.539
 I continued on.

00:06:54.659 --> 00:06:55.939
 But the wind got stronger.

00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.239
 The visibility less.

00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.419
 And then I had one of those terrible thoughts.

00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.979
 As the cloud just cleared for just a moment.

00:07:05.359 --> 00:07:08.959
 There to my left hand side was this sheer drop.

00:07:10.459 --> 00:07:10.939
 Johnny.

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:13.899
 You're not going to make it.

00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.119
 I didn't like to admit it.

00:07:17.219 --> 00:07:18.479
 But I was struggling.

00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.780
 I began to doubt that I would actually get down to the bottom.

00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:29.640
 Now perhaps that's how you feel about the Christian life.

00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:33.200
 You wonder if you're going to make it through.

00:07:34.580 --> 00:07:38.640
 Am I going to get to that eternal glory?

00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:41.040
 The struggles we face.

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:42.420
 The trials we go through.

00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:44.020
 Are like a storm.

00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:45.980
 The winds blowing.

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:49.500
 And we begin to have this terrible thought.

00:07:49.900 --> 00:07:53.600
 I'm not sure I'm going to get through this.

00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.680
 Well that's why we have chapter 7 of Revelation.

00:07:59.640 --> 00:08:02.300
 Because it will show us that if we are Christians.

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.720
 And for anybody who puts their trust in Christ.

00:08:06.580 --> 00:08:08.180
 Then not even suffering.

00:08:09.020 --> 00:08:10.200
 Not even sin.

00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.899
 And not even Satan.

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:15.560
 Will be able to destroy.

00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:17.199
 Our salvation.

00:08:18.159 --> 00:08:19.879
 In fact we're going to discover.

00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.519
 That because of God.

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:24.379
 Our salvation.

00:08:25.159 --> 00:08:27.839
 Is absolutely secure.

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:31.599
 Because that's the song of heaven isn't it?

00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:33.460
 Do you see it there in verse 10?

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:36.519
 Salvation belongs.

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:39.159
 To our God.

00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.799
 God secures.

00:08:42.459 --> 00:08:43.579
 Our salvation.

00:08:44.939 --> 00:08:46.379
 So as we go through.

00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:47.360
 Chapter 7.

00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.100
 We're going to look at three big themes.

00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:50.480
 Secure.

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:51.779
 In our suffering.

00:08:53.079 --> 00:08:53.740
 Secure.

00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:55.519
 On judgment day.

00:08:56.219 --> 00:08:57.259
 And secure.

00:08:57.939 --> 00:08:59.120
 For eternity.

00:09:00.199 --> 00:09:01.419
 Secure in suffering.

00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:02.579
 Secure in judgment.

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:04.319
 And secure.

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:05.939
 In eternity.

00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:08.560
 So first.

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.080
 Secure.

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:11.120
 Secure.

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:11.160
 Secure.

00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:11.180
 Secure.

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.040
 In suffering.

00:09:14.660 --> 00:09:16.060
 Look at verse 1.

00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:18.440
 After this.

00:09:20.180 --> 00:09:20.540
 Well.

00:09:20.760 --> 00:09:21.620
 After what?

00:09:22.540 --> 00:09:23.080
 Well.

00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.280
 In chapter 6.

00:09:24.780 --> 00:09:26.160
 We learn that Christians.

00:09:26.540 --> 00:09:27.720
 Go through times.

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:29.540
 Of terrible suffering.

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:31.139
 But now.

00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:32.919
 As we venture into chapter 7.

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:35.959
 John sees something else in his vision.

00:09:36.319 --> 00:09:38.539
 That Christians will be kept.

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:39.639
 In.

00:09:40.319 --> 00:09:41.120
 Their suffering.

00:09:42.079 --> 00:09:42.459
 You see.

00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:43.379
 Chapter 6.

00:09:43.459 --> 00:09:44.939
 And chapter 7.

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:47.240
 Look at the same event.

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.779
 But from a different perspective.

00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.899
 If you wanted to write a heading over chapter 6.

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:54.159
 You could say struggles.

00:09:55.180 --> 00:09:56.720
 And over chapter 7.

00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.200
 You could write security.

00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.120
 So two things are going to help us understand.

00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.860
 Our security.

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.639
 First.

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:07.879
 Oddly.

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:08.720
 You might think.

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.180
 Suffering is promised.

00:10:12.019 --> 00:10:13.000
 Let's read verse 1.

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.080
 After this I saw four angels.

00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.580
 Standing at the four corners of the earth.

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.259
 So these are angels.

00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:23.279
 God's servants.

00:10:23.539 --> 00:10:24.899
 Who have all authority.

00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:27.860
 Over the whole world.

00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:29.720
 What are they doing?

00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:30.679
 Well.

00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.440
 They're holding back the four winds of the earth.

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:36.940
 To prevent any wind from blowing on the land.

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:37.820
 Or on the sea.

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:39.620
 Or on any tree.

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:42.940
 Now these four winds.

00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:44.299
 Are not good.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.059
 They are devastating.

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:49.860
 It leads to terrible destruction.

00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:51.659
 And relentless death.

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:55.220
 I think these four winds.

00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:57.419
 Are actually a reference back.

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.539
 To the four horsemen.

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:02.000
 That we saw in chapter 6.

00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:03.899
 Let's remind ourselves of them.

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:05.620
 Just turn back to chapter 6.

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:06.840
 Verse 2.

00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:06.919
 Verse 2.

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.000
 Verse 2.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.000
 Verse 2.

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.720
 The four horsemen describe the suffering that comes.

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.360
 That's unleashed.

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:23.639
 Verse 2.

00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.179
 I looked and there before me was a white horse.

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.600
 Its rider held a bow.

00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:30.179
 That's a weapon of war.

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:31.279
 And was given a crown.

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:33.679
 And he rode out as a conqueror.

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.460
 Bent on conquest.

00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:38.160
 Then verse 4.

00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.259
 Another horse came out.

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.440
 A fiery red one.

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.680
 Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth.

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.879
 And to make people kill each other.

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.320
 To him was given a large sword.

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.520
 And then verse 5.

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:54.520
 Middle of verse 5.

00:11:54.660 --> 00:11:56.340
 We see there was a black horse.

00:11:57.060 --> 00:11:59.879
 Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.

00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:05.300
 And I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures saying.

00:12:05.660 --> 00:12:07.900
 A kilogram of wheat for a day's wages.

00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:12.060
 And three kilograms of barley for a day's wages.

00:12:13.020 --> 00:12:14.240
 It was extortion.

00:12:15.380 --> 00:12:17.700
 And do not damage the oil and the wine.

00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:20.940
 And there wasn't much left.

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:24.120
 And then in verse 8 we read.

00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:26.080
 That there was a pale horse.

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.759
 Its rider was named Death.

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:31.140
 And Hades, the place of death.

00:12:31.640 --> 00:12:33.500
 Was following close behind him.

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.620
 And they were given power over a quarter of the earth.

00:12:36.620 --> 00:12:40.440
 To kill by sword, famine and plague.

00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:44.300
 And by the wild beasts of the earth.

00:12:44.299 --> 00:12:53.159
 You see the message of chapter 6 there is that Christians are to expect times of suffering.

00:12:54.319 --> 00:12:57.000
 And that's the point of chapter 7 at the beginning.

00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.919
 The four winds will bring about the same effect.

00:13:02.719 --> 00:13:07.419
 Look what the other angel says in chapter 7 and verse 2.

00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:10.879
 The middle of verse 2.

00:13:10.979 --> 00:13:16.779
 The angel called out in a loud voice to the four angels who had been given, what?

00:13:16.979 --> 00:13:19.879
 Power to harm the land and the sea.

00:13:20.839 --> 00:13:25.939
 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees.

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.179
 You see this is the experience of life.

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:33.339
 This side of the return of Jesus.

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:37.259
 We will go through times of suffering.

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.120
 Now I know you know one another and you know people's stories.

00:13:42.420 --> 00:13:44.560
 And I know some of your stories.

00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:51.519
 And some of you here have experienced upheaval in your own countries.

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:52.139
 War.

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:58.680
 Some of you amongst your families have experienced violent bloodshed.

00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.219
 Some economic injustice.

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.299
 And for us all sadly the deaths of loved ones.

00:14:08.439 --> 00:14:11.299
 You see when these winds blow.

00:14:12.459 --> 00:14:13.979
 They can knock us down.

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.419
 And we begin to ask.

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:18.059
 Where are you God?

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.139
 Why are you allowing this?

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:23.299
 Don't you care?

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:27.019
 It shakes our salvation to the very core.

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:28.099
 And we wonder.

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.299
 Am I going to make it through?

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.859
 All this suffering.

00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.000
 Has God abandoned me?

00:14:36.839 --> 00:14:38.079
 Doesn't he love me?

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.620
 Is he giving up on me?

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.000
 And in our moments of grief and pain.

00:14:45.599 --> 00:14:47.599
 We have this terrible thought.

00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:50.519
 I'm not going to make it.

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.679
 Well thankfully.

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.059
 That's not the only thing we see.

00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:00.439
 Because not only is suffering promised.

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:05.519
 But salvation is protected.

00:15:06.939 --> 00:15:08.059
 You see verse 1.

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:12.740
 We've got this picture of the four winds of destruction coming.

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:15.079
 Which is about to be unleashed on the world.

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:16.899
 But before it does happen.

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:19.240
 Let's read verse 2 again.

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.639
 Then something happens.

00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:24.980
 I saw another angel coming up from the east.

00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.120
 Having the seal of the living God.

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:31.159
 He called out in a loud voice to the other four angels.

00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.519
 Who had been given power to harm the land and the sea.

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.539
 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees.

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:40.500
 Don't harm the world.

00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.240
 Until we put a seal on the foreheads.

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.639
 The servants of the servants of our God.

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.340
 This is the command of heaven.

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.240
 It's saying we need to protect the servants of God.

00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:59.899
 We need to secure the Christians.

00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:02.620
 The suffering is going to come.

00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:04.379
 It will be experienced.

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.000
 But through it all.

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.240
 Your salvation will be protected.

00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.779
 That protection is symbolised.

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:14.580
 Verse 3.

00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.779
 With a seal on your forehead.

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.539
 A name will be put on your forehead.

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.259
 To mark you out as belonging to God.

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:30.740
 Look what God has already said to his church.

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:33.180
 Have a look back in chapter 3.

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.519
 Verse 12.

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.720
 As we think about this mark.

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.799
 This name that is given to his people.

00:16:42.299 --> 00:16:43.179
 Chapter 3.

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:43.960
 Verse 12.

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:47.720
 In the middle of verse 12 we read.

00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:51.120
 God says to his people.

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:54.019
 I will write on them the name of my God.

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.279
 And the name of the city of my God.

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:58.259
 The new Jerusalem.

00:16:58.500 --> 00:17:00.879
 Which is coming down out of heaven from my God.

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.480
 And I will also write on them my new name.

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:08.299
 Go back to chapter 7.

00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:11.460
 It reads like an addressed envelope.

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:16.740
 It's like God has tattooed an address on your forehead.

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.680
 Stamped on your head.

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.480
 Name.

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:21.539
 God's son.

00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.019
 God's daughter.

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.240
 What's your address?

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:26.799
 The city of God.

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.000
 The new Jerusalem.

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.680
 You're going to get there.

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:33.780
 Of course it's not a real stamp.

00:17:33.900 --> 00:17:34.940
 It's not a real tattoo.

00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:40.860
 It's symbolism to say that God has put his seal of ownership on his servants.

00:17:41.340 --> 00:17:43.720
 He knows who belongs to him.

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.080
 Each one of his people is identifiable.

00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:51.380
 Each one is secure with their God given identity.

00:17:52.820 --> 00:17:56.940
 You see God has his name on his children.

00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:00.360
 He knows who belongs to him.

00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:02.539
 And he will keep you.

00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.580
 He will not forget you.

00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:06.779
 He will never leave you.

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:14.299
 In fact, not one of God's servants will ever be forgotten.

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:17.759
 That's what we have in verse 4, don't we?

00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:20.119
 Read with me verse 4.

00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.279
 Then I heard the number of those who were sealed.

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:31.000
 We have revealed 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel.

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:39.680
 Now, we're not to make the same mistake as the Jehovah Witnesses who take this as a literal 144,000 people

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:46.059
 who are somehow going to reach paradise and it's just them and then everybody else is kind of left to something else.

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:51.079
 no it's symbolism for all the people of God

00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.559
 this is a picture of the true Israel

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:57.440
 the true children of Abraham

00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.079
 those who have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.740
 you see the important thing to notice is

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:08.779
 this is a full and complete number

00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:10.480
 verse 5

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.539
 from the tribe of Judah

00:19:12.539 --> 00:19:15.919
 12,000 were sealed

00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.920
 from the tribe of Reuben

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.700
 12,000 and they were sealed

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:23.560
 and from the tribe of God

00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:25.580
 12,000 and they were sealed

00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:26.720
 and so on

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:28.380
 in other words

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:32.240
 not one of God's people is forgotten

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.420
 they are all accounted for

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:37.920
 there is a definite amount

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.060
 and they are all named and known by God

00:19:41.060 --> 00:19:43.680
 not one is missing

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:49.000
 you see if you are trusting in Christ today

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.980
 you are part of that great number

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:56.420
 you are known

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:58.279
 and not forgotten

00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:01.420
 you are sealed by God

00:20:01.420 --> 00:20:04.460
 protected forever

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:08.240
 we get another glimpse of this

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.279
 if you just scoot on a little bit

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:12.100
 to chapter 14 verse 1

00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:15.680
 where again there is another vision

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:17.420
 as we go through Revelation

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:20.079
 we see that it is the same scene

00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.700
 repeated over and over and over again

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:24.180
 but from different perspectives

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:25.860
 and new information

00:20:25.860 --> 00:20:27.660
 so chapter 14

00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:29.160
 in his vision

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:30.320
 verse 1

00:20:30.320 --> 00:20:31.039
 I looked

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.160
 and there before me was the Lamb

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.660
 who stands for Jesus Christ

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:37.259
 standing on Mount Zion

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:39.580
 that is the new heavens

00:20:39.580 --> 00:20:40.900
 the new Jerusalem

00:20:40.900 --> 00:20:42.360
 and with him

00:20:42.360 --> 00:20:44.960
 144,000

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.440
 who are they?

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:48.279
 they had his name

00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:50.039
 and his father's name

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.519
 written on their foreheads

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.799
 now let's be clear

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.859
 what we're looking at

00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:02.319
 in this first part of chapter 7

00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.819
 is not a promise of protection

00:21:05.819 --> 00:21:06.799
 from suffering

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:09.500
 it's a promise of protection

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:11.879
 for salvation

00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:14.339
 got to underline that

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:15.460
 mark that one

00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:18.240
 this is not a promise of protection

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.059
 from suffering

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:22.579
 it's a promise of protection

00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:25.220
 for salvation

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:28.620
 you see no matter what is thrown at us

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:30.620
 no matter how bad it gets

00:21:30.620 --> 00:21:32.920
 no matter the depth of our suffering

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.799
 or the length of our suffering

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.259
 no matter how weak you feel

00:21:37.259 --> 00:21:39.180
 or how helpless you feel

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:42.600
 no matter what storm you may be in right now

00:21:42.600 --> 00:21:45.200
 or what storm may come upon your life

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.860
 you are secure

00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:52.039
 listen

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.319
 to the promise of God to you today

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:56.319
 nothing

00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:57.799
 and no one

00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:59.779
 not even suffering

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:02.519
 can destroy your salvation

00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:04.140
 you

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:05.160
 are

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:06.360
 secure

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:12.680
 so we are secure in suffering

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.720
 and we are secure

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.340
 on judgment day

00:22:18.340 --> 00:22:21.240
 chapter 6

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.700
 ends with a terrifying account

00:22:23.700 --> 00:22:26.220
 of what to expect

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:27.759
 on judgment day

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.380
 Christ

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:31.200
 is going to return

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.880
 and we read chapter 6

00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:34.660
 verse 15

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:38.019
 then the kings of the earth

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:38.880
 the princes

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.700
 the generals

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:40.320
 the rich

00:22:40.320 --> 00:22:40.980
 the mighty

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:43.920
 and everyone else

00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:46.779
 including you and me

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:49.840
 both slave and free

00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:52.080
 all will be there

00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:53.540
 hidden caves

00:22:53.540 --> 00:22:54.460
 and among the rocks

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.160
 of the mountains

00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.440
 they call to the mountains

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.080
 and the rocks

00:22:58.080 --> 00:22:59.360
 fall on us

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:00.180
 and hide us

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:01.200
 from the face of him

00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:02.360
 who sits on the throne

00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.139
 and from the wrath of the land

00:23:04.139 --> 00:23:06.719
 for the great day

00:23:06.719 --> 00:23:07.500
 of their wrath

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:08.039
 has come

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.639
 and who

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:12.099
 can withstand it

00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:14.279
 you see

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:14.579
 when

00:23:14.579 --> 00:23:16.399
 when justice comes

00:23:16.399 --> 00:23:18.339
 no one

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:19.500
 will be able

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:20.399
 to stand against

00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:21.199
 God's judgment

00:23:21.199 --> 00:23:23.419
 no one has the power

00:23:23.419 --> 00:23:24.859
 to withhold it

00:23:24.859 --> 00:23:26.179
 and push it back

00:23:26.179 --> 00:23:27.399
 no one

00:23:27.399 --> 00:23:28.279
 is able

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.500
 to escape it

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:32.180
 now that makes us

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:33.140
 ask the question

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:36.019
 how am I going to be

00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:38.000
 on judgment day

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:40.779
 answer that for yourself

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.420
 right now

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:43.279
 how will you be

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:45.220
 on judgment day

00:23:45.220 --> 00:23:49.440
 well the good news is

00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:51.539
 we can be secure

00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:53.539
 when justice

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.460
 falls

00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:56.079
 first

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.720
 we can stand

00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.439
 before God

00:24:00.439 --> 00:24:02.859
 as judgment falls

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:03.639
 we are shown

00:24:03.639 --> 00:24:04.899
 something else

00:24:04.899 --> 00:24:06.059
 look at verse 9

00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:06.799
 chapter 7

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.480
 verse 9

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.059
 after this

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.659
 I looked

00:24:10.659 --> 00:24:11.839
 and there before me

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.939
 was a great multitude

00:24:13.939 --> 00:24:16.139
 that no one could count

00:24:16.139 --> 00:24:17.919
 from every nation

00:24:17.919 --> 00:24:18.799
 tribe

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.419
 people

00:24:19.419 --> 00:24:20.579
 and language

00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:22.759
 what are they doing

00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:24.839
 can you see

00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:25.500
 where they are

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.960
 standing

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.180
 standing

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:30.220
 before the throne

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:32.019
 and before the lamb

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:34.160
 they are standing

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:35.839
 in praise

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:37.200
 around the throne

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:38.940
 look at verse 9

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.680
 they were wearing

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:40.720
 white robes

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.339
 and were holding

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:42.220
 palm branches

00:24:42.220 --> 00:24:42.900
 in their hands

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:44.200
 and they cried out

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.000
 in a loud voice

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:46.599
 salvation belongs

00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:47.220
 to our God

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:48.420
 who sits on the throne

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:50.019
 and to the lamb

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:52.339
 it seems

00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:54.259
 they have escaped

00:24:54.259 --> 00:24:55.119
 the wrath

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.039
 of God's judgment

00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.000
 rather than fear

00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:58.819
 there is joy

00:24:58.819 --> 00:24:59.940
 instead of panic

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:00.819
 there is

00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:01.879
 confidence

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:06.119
 now this isn't

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:07.019
 just one or two

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:07.879
 lucky ones

00:25:07.879 --> 00:25:08.559
 who kind of

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.480
 managed to slip

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.339
 through the net

00:25:10.339 --> 00:25:11.480
 no

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:12.480
 look what verse 9

00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:12.940
 says

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:14.259
 I looked

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:15.160
 and there before me

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:15.779
 was a

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:17.920
 great multitude

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:20.019
 that no one

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.799
 could count

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.220
 now this great

00:25:24.220 --> 00:25:24.720
 number

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:26.460
 is not

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:27.119
 different

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:27.980
 to the

00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:29.639
 144,000

00:25:29.639 --> 00:25:30.319
 that we've just

00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:30.940
 looked at

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:32.539
 they are the same

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.339
 people

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:35.119
 servants of God

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:36.079
 whose salvation

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.819
 is secure

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:38.500
 in the first picture

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:39.720
 the people are

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:40.200
 numbered

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.259
 a sign of

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:42.000
 completeness

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.220
 in the second picture

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.460
 the people are

00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:46.419
 unnumbered

00:25:46.419 --> 00:25:47.399
 a sign of

00:25:47.399 --> 00:25:48.259
 vastness

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.980
 vastness

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:53.079
 now John

00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:53.579
 the author

00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:54.299
 of Revelation

00:25:54.299 --> 00:25:54.940
 does this

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:55.740
 all the time

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:58.319
 although the

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:59.200
 image changes

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.000
 it's talking

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:00.799
 about the same

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.240
 thing

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.160
 we've seen

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.799
 that already

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:04.500
 when he talked

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.160
 about the four

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.700
 horsemen

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:06.279
 and then the

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:07.559
 four winds

00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.279
 let me give you

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:10.420
 another example

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:11.319
 if you look

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:12.019
 back just at

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:13.000
 chapter 5

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:14.879
 and verse 5

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:20.600
 chapter 5

00:26:20.600 --> 00:26:21.240
 verse 5

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:21.720
 Jesus

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:23.540
 is described

00:26:23.540 --> 00:26:25.200
 as a victorious

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:25.880
 lion

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.940
 a triumphant

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.440
 lion

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:29.780
 but then in the

00:26:29.780 --> 00:26:30.780
 immediate verse

00:26:30.780 --> 00:26:31.340
 after

00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:33.720
 Jesus is

00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:34.740
 described as a

00:26:34.740 --> 00:26:35.320
 slain

00:26:35.320 --> 00:26:36.220
 lamb

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:38.260
 so which one

00:26:38.260 --> 00:26:38.580
 is he

00:26:38.580 --> 00:26:39.300
 is he a lion

00:26:39.300 --> 00:26:39.860
 or is he a

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:40.140
 lamb

00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:42.740
 well he's both

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.760
 two pitchers

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:45.200
 one person

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.559
 so that's what

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:48.279
 I think is going

00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.039
 on here in

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:50.059
 chapter 7

00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:51.440
 we have

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.259
 a numbered

00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:52.940
 people

00:26:52.940 --> 00:26:54.400
 and we have

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.480
 an unnumbered

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:55.819
 people

00:26:55.819 --> 00:26:56.819
 in other words

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:57.539
 the number

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.279
 of people

00:26:58.279 --> 00:26:59.019
 who escape

00:26:59.019 --> 00:26:59.819
 God's judgment

00:26:59.819 --> 00:27:00.779
 is both

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.420
 full

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:02.759
 on the one

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.220
 hand

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:04.480
 and far

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:05.140
 reaching

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:06.619
 on the other

00:27:06.619 --> 00:27:07.119
 hand

00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:08.720
 includes people

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:09.359
 from the

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:10.440
 four corners

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.079
 of the earth

00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:12.019
 from every

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:13.039
 nation

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.319
 tribe

00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:15.299
 people

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.799
 and language

00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:18.059
 God has

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:19.159
 saved many

00:27:19.159 --> 00:27:19.700
 people

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:21.059
 a multitude

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:22.019
 that no one

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:22.579
 can count

00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:23.519
 and they are

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.440
 secure on the

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:25.180
 day of judgment

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:26.420
 they are

00:27:26.420 --> 00:27:27.139
 secure

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:28.740
 in their

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:29.379
 salvation

00:27:29.379 --> 00:27:32.700
 but how

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:33.960
 how are they

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.379
 secure

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:35.559
 why are they

00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:36.339
 singled out

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:36.859
 as being

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:37.740
 secure

00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:39.960
 well because

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:41.700
 they have

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.660
 been washed

00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:44.380
 by Jesus

00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:45.740
 look at

00:27:45.740 --> 00:27:46.460

 then one

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:50.660

00:27:50.660 --> 00:27:52.259

 they get

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.480
 to be

00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:06.859
 here

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:09.679
 I answered

00:28:15.679 --> 00:28:17.259
 these are

00:28:17.259 --> 00:28:17.740
 they who

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:18.220
 have come

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:18.759
 out of the

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.179
 great

00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:26.199
 well it's

00:28:26.199 --> 00:28:26.639
 the time

00:28:26.639 --> 00:28:27.379
 of suffering

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:28.740
 that God's

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:29.379
 people go

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.039
 through from

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:31.259
 the resurrection

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:32.179
 of Jesus

00:28:32.179 --> 00:28:32.939
 to the

00:28:32.939 --> 00:28:34.119
 return of

00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:34.459
 Jesus

00:28:34.459 --> 00:28:35.819
 that time

00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:36.619
 frame between

00:28:36.619 --> 00:28:37.559
 the resurrection

00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:38.539
 and the

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:39.059
 return

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:40.239
 is the

00:28:40.239 --> 00:28:40.659
 great

00:28:40.659 --> 00:28:41.579
 tribulation

00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:42.759
 or sometimes

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:43.399
 referred to

00:28:43.399 --> 00:28:43.799
 as the

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:45.439
 end times

00:28:45.439 --> 00:28:46.739
 now the

00:28:46.739 --> 00:28:47.259
 church

00:28:47.259 --> 00:28:48.059
 Christians

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.939
 in every

00:28:48.939 --> 00:28:49.559
 age and

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:52.679
 of suffering

00:28:52.679 --> 00:28:53.599
 that's what

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:54.000
 we've been

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:54.479
 looking at

00:28:54.479 --> 00:28:54.959
 in chapter

00:28:54.959 --> 00:28:55.399
 six

00:28:55.399 --> 00:28:56.239
 the four

00:28:56.239 --> 00:28:56.779
 horsemen

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.559
 the four

00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:57.899
 winds

00:28:57.899 --> 00:28:58.939
 the military

00:28:58.939 --> 00:28:59.579
 conquest

00:28:59.579 --> 00:29:00.279
 the wars

00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:00.719
 we see

00:29:00.719 --> 00:29:01.279
 going on

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:01.519
 in the

00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:01.839
 world

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:02.819
 the violent

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:03.479
 bloodshed

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:03.880
 we see

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.380
 all around

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:04.599
 us

00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:05.559
 the economic

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.200
 injustice

00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:07.400
 as people

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.140
 live without

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:08.579
 food

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:09.319
 the relentless

00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:10.120
 death

00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:11.380
 one day

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:12.240
 after another

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:13.259
 and on top

00:29:13.259 --> 00:29:13.779
 of all of

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:14.539
 that Christians

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:15.599
 face opposition

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.059
 and persecution

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:20.240
 now as we go

00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:20.920
 through this

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:21.799
 tribulation

00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.259
 as we go

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:23.839
 through these

00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.500
 times of

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.160
 sufferings

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:26.140
 we can be

00:29:26.140 --> 00:29:26.559
 tempted

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:27.980
 to give up

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:29.079
 and to give

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:29.360
 in

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:31.859
 we can

00:29:31.859 --> 00:29:32.459
 fail

00:29:32.459 --> 00:29:33.699
 to live

00:29:33.699 --> 00:29:34.259
 for Jesus

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:34.699
 we can

00:29:34.699 --> 00:29:35.479
 fall into

00:29:35.479 --> 00:29:35.819
 sin

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.519
 we can

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:37.059
 grumble

00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:37.819
 and complain

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.240
 we can

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.559
 even

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:39.319
 curse

00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:39.699
 God

00:29:39.699 --> 00:29:40.059
 and say

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.279
 I've

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:40.439
 had

00:29:40.439 --> 00:29:40.899
 enough

00:29:40.899 --> 00:29:44.179
 and what

00:29:44.179 --> 00:29:44.639
 happens

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:45.039
 then

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.139
 what will

00:29:47.139 --> 00:29:47.679
 happen to

00:29:47.679 --> 00:29:48.119
 you then

00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:48.419
 on the

00:29:48.419 --> 00:29:48.759
 day of

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:49.179
 judgment

00:29:49.179 --> 00:29:51.779
 will I

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:52.199
 stand

00:29:52.199 --> 00:29:52.979
 confidently

00:29:52.979 --> 00:29:53.539
 before

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:54.039
 God

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:55.359
 or will

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:55.699
 I be

00:29:55.699 --> 00:29:56.119
 like the

00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:56.439
 people

00:29:56.439 --> 00:29:57.299
 that's

00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:57.659

00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.059
 and hiding

00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:01.720
 will my

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:02.299
 sin

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:04.039
 destroy

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.779
 mess and

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:13.960
 the

00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:14.599
 brokenness

00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:14.919
 of our

00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:42.539
 their robes

00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:42.980

00:31:00.879 --> 00:31:01.719
 stench

00:31:01.719 --> 00:31:02.779
 that

00:31:02.779 --> 00:31:03.279
 must be

00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:04.159
 removed

00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:05.199
 from god

00:31:05.199 --> 00:31:06.639
 like a

00:31:06.639 --> 00:31:07.059
 workman

00:31:07.059 --> 00:31:07.500
 who's been

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:08.279
 clearing the

00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:09.119
 sewage pipes

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:09.699
 all day

00:31:09.699 --> 00:31:10.379
 and then

00:31:10.379 --> 00:31:10.919
 trying to

00:31:10.919 --> 00:31:11.500
 gain access

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:12.199
 to a fine

00:31:12.199 --> 00:31:12.539
 dining

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:13.139
 restaurant

00:31:13.139 --> 00:31:13.839
 oh

00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:15.079
 no way

00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:15.859
 no thank

00:31:15.859 --> 00:31:16.199
 you

00:31:16.199 --> 00:31:17.879
 but if

00:31:17.879 --> 00:31:18.419
 that worker

00:31:18.419 --> 00:31:19.019
 went home

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:19.359
 and had

00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:19.959
 his shower

00:31:19.959 --> 00:31:21.039
 scrubbed

00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:21.459
 hosed

00:31:21.459 --> 00:31:22.099
 and cleaned

00:31:22.099 --> 00:31:22.939
 went to

00:31:22.939 --> 00:31:23.539
 his wardrobe

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:24.099
 and put

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:24.480
 on his

00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:25.039
 brand new

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:25.539
 clothes

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:26.459
 then he

00:31:26.459 --> 00:31:26.839
 would be

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:27.240
 welcome

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:28.039
 to eat

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.899
 and drink

00:31:28.899 --> 00:31:29.919
 and feast

00:31:29.919 --> 00:31:32.919
 well if we

00:31:32.919 --> 00:31:33.379
 are to be

00:31:33.379 --> 00:31:34.000
 sure of a

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:34.859
 welcome from

00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:35.299
 god

00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:36.379
 rather than

00:31:36.379 --> 00:31:37.000
 face the

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.519
 wrath of

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:37.819
 god

00:31:37.819 --> 00:31:38.839
 we need

00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:39.299
 to be

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:40.299
 clean

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:43.059
 not a

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:43.419
 shower

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:44.000
 kind of

00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:44.420
 clean

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:45.820
 but a

00:31:45.820 --> 00:31:46.100
 deep

00:31:46.100 --> 00:31:46.860
 spiritual

00:31:46.860 --> 00:31:47.320
 clean

00:31:47.320 --> 00:31:48.640
 and how

00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.100
 does that

00:31:49.100 --> 00:31:49.480
 cleaning

00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:50.019
 happen

00:31:50.019 --> 00:31:51.380
 well we're

00:31:51.380 --> 00:31:51.860
 told in

00:31:51.860 --> 00:31:52.660
 verse 14

00:31:52.660 --> 00:31:54.940
 they washed

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:55.860
 their robes

00:31:55.860 --> 00:31:56.340
 and made

00:31:56.340 --> 00:31:57.140
 them white

00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:58.480
 in the

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:58.860
 blood of

00:31:58.860 --> 00:31:59.320
 the lamb

00:31:59.320 --> 00:32:03.300
 when we

00:32:03.300 --> 00:32:03.840
 talk about

00:32:03.840 --> 00:32:04.259
 the blood

00:32:04.259 --> 00:32:04.560
 of the

00:32:04.560 --> 00:32:04.880
 lamb

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:06.120
 we're

00:32:06.120 --> 00:32:06.740
 talking about

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:07.440
 the lamb

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.080
 who was

00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:08.680
 slain

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:09.800
 Jesus

00:32:09.800 --> 00:32:10.300
 Christ

00:32:10.300 --> 00:32:10.920
 who died

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:11.279
 on the

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:11.620
 cross

00:32:11.620 --> 00:32:12.060
 for you

00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:12.400
 and for

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:12.700
 me

00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:13.960
 as

00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:14.340
 Jesus

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:14.880
 died

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:15.720
 he was

00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:16.120
 taking

00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:16.920
 my

00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:17.400
 sin

00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:18.240
 Jesus

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:18.720
 was

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.740
 stained

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:20.600
 he was

00:32:20.600 --> 00:32:21.279
 spoiled

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.059
 he was

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.819
 soiled

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:23.580
 for me

00:32:23.580 --> 00:32:25.380
 and in

00:32:25.380 --> 00:32:26.000
 its place

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.500
 he gives

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:27.279
 me his

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:28.240
 sinless

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.180
 purity

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:30.400
 Jesus

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.240
 was judged

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.980
 for me

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:32.759
 so that

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.200
 I might

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.519
 be

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:34.279
 welcomed

00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:34.700
 in

00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:35.740
 Jesus

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:36.340
 took

00:32:36.340 --> 00:32:36.799
 my

00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:37.740
 filthy

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:38.480
 robes

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:38.860
 my

00:32:38.860 --> 00:32:39.319
 sin

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:40.220
 and gave

00:32:40.220 --> 00:32:40.460
 me

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:40.939
 his

00:32:40.939 --> 00:32:41.819
 pure

00:32:41.819 --> 00:32:42.639
 white

00:32:42.639 --> 00:32:43.200
 robes

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:43.759
 his

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:44.500
 sinless

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:45.579
 perfection

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:47.819
 so when

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.279
 God

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:48.859
 looks at

00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:49.159
 me

00:32:49.159 --> 00:32:49.500
 his

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:50.039
 child

00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.439
 he sees

00:32:52.439 --> 00:32:53.119
 the purity

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:53.919
 of Christ

00:32:53.919 --> 00:32:55.980
 you see

00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:56.480
 here's the

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:56.899
 point

00:32:56.899 --> 00:32:58.200
 if I

00:32:58.200 --> 00:32:58.859
 have trusted

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.419
 Jesus

00:32:59.419 --> 00:33:00.379
 for salvation

00:33:00.379 --> 00:33:01.500
 then my

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:02.339
 sin is

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.679
 dealt

00:33:02.679 --> 00:33:02.960
 with

00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:03.559
 and when

00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:04.039
 the day

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:04.579
 of judgment

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:05.119
 comes

00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:06.119
 I will be

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:06.899
 kept secure

00:33:06.899 --> 00:33:10.679
 you see

00:33:10.679 --> 00:33:11.139
 no matter

00:33:11.139 --> 00:33:11.619
 what

00:33:11.619 --> 00:33:12.059
 your

00:33:12.059 --> 00:33:12.500
 sin

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:12.939
 is

00:33:12.939 --> 00:33:14.959
 and as

00:33:14.959 --> 00:33:15.399
 you sit

00:33:15.399 --> 00:33:15.839
 there and

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:16.279
 you think

00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:16.859
 back over

00:33:16.859 --> 00:33:17.519
 your life

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.319
 no matter

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:20.239
 how great

00:33:20.239 --> 00:33:20.879
 and often

00:33:20.879 --> 00:33:21.559
 your sin

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.000
 no matter

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.939
 how public

00:33:23.939 --> 00:33:24.779
 or private

00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:26.379
 no matter

00:33:26.379 --> 00:33:27.099
 the weight

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:28.019
 of your guilt

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:28.699
 or shame

00:33:28.699 --> 00:33:29.539
 it is

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:30.539
 all

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:31.500
 dealt

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:31.939
 with

00:33:31.939 --> 00:33:33.419
 once

00:33:33.419 --> 00:33:34.359
 cleaned

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:35.379
 by Jesus

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:36.840
 your past

00:33:36.840 --> 00:33:37.360
 sin

00:33:37.360 --> 00:33:38.300
 will never

00:33:38.300 --> 00:33:38.900
 stain

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:40.220
 your present

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.640
 sin

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:41.460
 will never

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:42.120
 spoil

00:33:42.120 --> 00:33:43.240
 your future

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.660
 sin

00:33:43.660 --> 00:33:44.540
 will never

00:33:44.540 --> 00:33:45.100
 soil

00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:46.340
 on the day

00:33:46.340 --> 00:33:47.140
 of judgment

00:33:47.140 --> 00:33:48.060
 you

00:33:48.060 --> 00:33:48.940
 are

00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:50.000
 secure

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.780
 listen to the

00:33:53.780 --> 00:33:54.440
 promise of

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:55.160
 God to you

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:55.600
 today

00:33:55.600 --> 00:33:56.440
 nothing

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:57.540
 and no one

00:33:57.540 --> 00:33:58.600
 not even

00:33:58.600 --> 00:33:59.660
 your sin

00:33:59.660 --> 00:34:01.240
 can destroy

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:02.060
 your salvation

00:34:02.060 --> 00:34:04.360
 you are

00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:05.919
 secure

00:34:05.919 --> 00:34:10.119
 so secure

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:10.859
 in suffering

00:34:10.859 --> 00:34:12.259
 secure

00:34:12.259 --> 00:34:13.019
 in judgment

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:16.480
 and secure

00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:17.420
 for eternity

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:19.539
 you see

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:19.980
 as we

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:20.359
 journey

00:34:20.359 --> 00:34:21.119
 our life

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.359
 towards

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.699
 eternity

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:25.559
 as we

00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:26.119
 go through

00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:26.779
 our times

00:34:26.779 --> 00:34:27.440
 of suffering

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:27.880
 as we

00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:28.779
 walk through

00:34:28.779 --> 00:34:29.480
 the storms

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:30.059
 of life

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:31.339
 as we

00:34:31.339 --> 00:34:31.699
 sin

00:34:31.699 --> 00:34:32.339
 and as we

00:34:32.339 --> 00:34:32.900
 fail

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:33.420
 in the

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:33.700
 midst

00:34:33.700 --> 00:34:34.099
 of that

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:34.500
 and we

00:34:34.500 --> 00:34:34.860
 do

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:36.260
 God

00:34:36.260 --> 00:34:36.579
 still

00:34:36.579 --> 00:34:36.900
 knows

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.079
 his

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:37.480
 people

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:39.240
 and he

00:34:39.240 --> 00:34:39.440
 will

00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:39.840
 ensure

00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:40.460
 that all

00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:40.660
 who

00:34:40.660 --> 00:34:41.059
 trust

00:34:41.059 --> 00:34:41.619
 in him

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:42.740
 are

00:34:42.740 --> 00:34:43.240
 secure

00:34:43.240 --> 00:34:43.880
 for

00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:45.200
 eternity

00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:47.079
 isn't that

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.340
 what it

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:47.579
 says

00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:47.980
 in verse

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:48.539
 15

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:50.360
 therefore

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:52.119
 because of

00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:52.800
 what God

00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:53.240
 has done

00:34:53.240 --> 00:34:53.900
 in Christ

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.599
 therefore

00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:56.019
 they are

00:34:56.019 --> 00:34:56.660

00:34:59.160 --> 00:34:59.559
 temple

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:03.340
 because of

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.820
 all that

00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:04.320
 God has

00:35:25.419 --> 00:35:26.019
 the throne

00:35:26.019 --> 00:35:26.619
 of God

 look here

 God

00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:36.519
 will

00:35:43.359 --> 00:35:43.659
 he

00:35:43.659 --> 00:35:44.579
 will

00:35:44.579 --> 00:35:45.500
 shelter

00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:56.640
 salvation

00:35:56.640 --> 00:35:57.420
 is never

 based on

00:35:58.579 --> 00:35:59.200
 what I

00:35:59.200 --> 00:35:59.760
 promise

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:00.220
 to do

00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:01.920
 I promise

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.320
 I'll do

00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:02.539
 this

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:03.099
 I promise

00:36:03.099 --> 00:36:03.519
 I won't

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:03.880
 do this

00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:04.120
 again

00:36:04.120 --> 00:36:05.039
 I promise

00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:05.340
 I'm

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:05.539
 going to

00:36:05.539 --> 00:36:05.680
 be

00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:05.980
 better

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:07.120
 I promise

00:36:07.120 --> 00:36:07.480
 I'm

00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:11.180
 it's

00:36:11.180 --> 00:36:11.420
 never

00:36:11.420 --> 00:36:12.039
 based on

00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:12.400
 what I

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:12.880
 promise

00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:13.300
 to do

00:36:13.300 --> 00:36:13.960
 for God

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:15.340
 salvation

00:36:15.340 --> 00:36:16.220
 is always

00:36:16.220 --> 00:36:16.780
 grounded

00:36:16.780 --> 00:36:17.740
 in what

00:36:17.740 --> 00:36:18.160
 God

00:36:18.160 --> 00:36:18.960
 promises

00:36:20.780 --> 00:36:21.980
 that's

00:36:21.980 --> 00:36:22.440
 why they

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.099
 burst out

00:36:23.099 --> 00:36:23.640
 in song

00:36:23.640 --> 00:36:24.579
 salvation

00:36:24.579 --> 00:36:25.180
 belongs

00:36:25.180 --> 00:36:25.920
 to me

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:29.039
 no

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.840
 salvation

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:31.440
 belongs

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:31.840
 to

00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:32.800
 our

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:33.320
 God

00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.760
 it's

00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:36.059
 his

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.800
 to give

00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:37.900
 not

00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:38.240
 mine

00:36:38.240 --> 00:36:38.820
 to earn

00:36:38.820 --> 00:36:39.960
 that's

00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:40.220
 why

00:36:40.220 --> 00:36:40.519
 the

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:41.099
 whole

 heaven

00:36:41.539 --> 00:36:42.019
 joins

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:42.280
 in

00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:42.500
 in

00:36:42.500 --> 00:36:42.920
 praise

 ever

00:36:53.179 --> 00:36:53.699
 amen

00:36:53.699 --> 00:36:54.420
 only

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:55.679
 God

00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:56.280
 can

00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:56.900
 achieve

00:36:56.900 --> 00:36:57.380
 our

00:36:57.380 --> 00:36:58.000
 salvation

00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:59.239
 it's

00:36:59.239 --> 00:36:59.559
 something

00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:01.000
 I receive

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:02.099
 not because

00:37:02.099 --> 00:37:02.820
 of my

00:37:02.820 --> 00:37:03.380
 wisdom

00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:04.039
 or power

00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:04.539
 or because

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:05.119
 of your

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:05.780
 worthiness

00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:06.480
 and strength

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.840
 it's all

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.719
 of God

00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:09.739
 his wisdom

00:37:09.739 --> 00:37:10.539
 his strength

00:37:10.539 --> 00:37:11.579
 so we can

00:37:11.579 --> 00:37:12.539
 stand before

00:37:12.539 --> 00:37:12.880
 God

00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:13.440
 with humble

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:14.000
 confidence

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.019
 because we

00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:15.679
 are depending

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:16.360
 not on our

00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:16.880
 power

00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:18.500
 but on

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:19.539
 his promises

00:37:19.539 --> 00:37:20.360
 to me

00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:25.860
 but not

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.340
 only his

00:37:26.340 --> 00:37:26.920
 promise

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.659
 we also

00:37:29.659 --> 00:37:30.579
 have his

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:31.579
 presence

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:34.099
 we will

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:35.039
 be secure

00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:36.420
 because

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:37.440
 God will

00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:38.219
 be present

00:37:38.219 --> 00:37:39.079
 with us

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:39.880
 look at the

00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:40.380
 end of verse

00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:40.860
 15

00:37:40.860 --> 00:37:42.980
 and he

00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:44.140
 who sits

00:37:44.140 --> 00:37:44.539
 on the

00:37:44.539 --> 00:37:44.980
 throne

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:46.180
 will

00:37:46.180 --> 00:37:46.760
 shelter

00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:47.160
 them

00:37:47.160 --> 00:37:47.980
 with his

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:49.200
 presence

00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:50.460
 his

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:50.900
 presence

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:51.360
 means
