00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.839
 Well, if you'd open up your Bibles to Revelation chapter 10, as you're turning there, I just

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.179
 want to let you know we've got a special guest with us this morning.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:13.820
 Isaiah the prophet has come and joined us from heaven for a little bit.

00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:15.359
 So Isaiah, welcome, welcome.

00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:17.460
 Thank you, Mike.

00:00:20.980 --> 00:00:22.879
 Isaiah, I've got two questions for you.

00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:24.500
 The first one is this.

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:28.420
 If you could sum up your prophetic ministry in one word, what would it be?

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:31.420
 Well, Mike, I don't need to think about it that much.

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:32.820
 It's the word bittersweet.

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:34.420
 And here's why.

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:40.939
 The sweetness of being a prophet is being given God's word, hope-giving word.

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:42.740
 You know it's true.

00:00:43.420 --> 00:00:44.600
 You know it's God speaking.

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:45.719
 It is so sweet.

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:51.640
 And there is sweetness when you proclaim God's saving message to people under his judgment

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.900
 and you see people respond and get saved.

00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:55.960
 That is sweet.

00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.939
 But here's the bitterness.

00:01:00.859 --> 00:01:08.420
 It's when you proclaim this message of salvation to people who don't have ears to hear.

00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:11.920
 And they reject the message.

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:13.140
 It's heartbreaking.

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:14.500
 It's so bitter.

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:16.180
 But that's only half of it.

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:22.700
 Because when you proclaim God's saving message to people under his judgment and they reject it,

00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:25.320
 they're going to reject you.

00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:30.760
 And sometimes they will hurt you.

00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:38.859
 This prophetic ministry is bittersweet, Mike.

00:01:38.939 --> 00:01:39.800
 Did you have another question?

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:41.359
 Oh, in fact, I do.

00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:41.900
 Isaiah.

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.860
 Isaiah, if you could say one thing to Christ the King Church, what would you say?

00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:51.860
 Christ the King Church.

00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:58.680
 For you to be a faithful church, you must be a prophetic church.

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.840
 Take the scroll.

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:05.100
 Eat the scroll.

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:07.480
 Preach the scroll.

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:10.740
 Thank you, Isaiah.

00:02:13.700 --> 00:02:15.659
 Here we are in Revelation chapter 10.

00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:24.719
 Let me try to orient you as to where we as a church in 2019 are on Revelation's time frame.

00:02:24.859 --> 00:02:25.000
 Okay?

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:26.180
 Here we are.

00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:27.340
 Here we are.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.719
 We are somewhere in between the hoof beats of seal six.

00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.400
 And we are the seal judgments.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:44.060
 And we are between the seal judgments and the final trumpet of the trumpet judgments.

00:02:45.020 --> 00:02:46.740
 Of Revelation 11, 15.

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:48.240
 We're somewhere in there.

00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:50.680
 God's turning up the heat.

00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:55.740
 We're somewhere before the coming of Jesus.

00:02:55.740 --> 00:03:04.320
 And when Jesus comes, the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ.

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:07.980
 So here's the question that I want to ask and answer this morning.

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:14.620
 What are we to be doing as a church in between?

00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:18.340
 What are we to be doing?

00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:26.520
 And what we're going to see this morning, the answer from God in his word is,

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.740
 Christ the King Church, you must be prophetic.

00:03:30.539 --> 00:03:34.400
 You must be prophetically present in the city of Kenosha.

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.400
 As God turns up the heat of judgment.

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.080
 Just like the prophets of old.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.520
 Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:54.680
 These men who were given God's very words to proclaim to people under his judgment so that they would be saved.

00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:57.620
 Christ the King Church.

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.740
 You must be prophetic.

00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:08.159
 I want to be up front with you this morning.

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:14.700
 To be prophetic is to experience bittersweet.

00:04:16.340 --> 00:04:17.740
 We'll see that in a little bit.

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.759
 Let me give you your bearings again on terms of Revelation 10.

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:25.620
 Revelation 10 and the first half of Revelation 11,

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:31.680
 it's kind of a break in the action in the trumpet cycles of judgment.

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:32.620
 So there's seven trumpets.

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:36.079
 And in between the sixth trumpet and the seventh trumpet,

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.540
 we have this, what scholars call an interlude.

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:42.439
 It's chapter 10 and the first half of chapter 11.

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.939
 And this isn't the first time we've experienced this.

00:04:45.019 --> 00:04:47.060
 Because back in the seal judgments,

00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:50.420
 between the sixth seal and the seventh seal,

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:54.379
 there was another interlude in which God addresses the church.

00:04:54.379 --> 00:05:02.519
 And so both these interludes between the sixth and seventh judgments, seals and trumpets,

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.339
 God is addressing the church.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:13.500
 What are we supposed to be doing in the midst of God turning up the heat of judgment?

00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:21.040
 Well, what's interesting about chapter 10 in the first half of 11 in chapter Revelation

00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:30.120
 is that we're given these very interesting pictures of John being recommissioned as a prophet.

00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:36.920
 And then in chapter 11, 1 through 13, we're going to see a story of two witnesses that get thumped.

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.800
 So here's what these messages are to us as God turns up the heat of judgment.

00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.899
 The first one, chapter 10, which we're going to look at today is,

00:05:48.300 --> 00:05:50.780
 the faithful church is a prophetic church.

00:05:50.779 --> 00:05:54.119
 And then the second, which we'll see next week,

00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.939
 is that the faithful church is a suffering church.

00:05:58.819 --> 00:05:59.839
 And here's why.

00:06:01.559 --> 00:06:06.779
 Prophetic ministry and suffering, more often than not, goes hand in hand.

00:06:11.539 --> 00:06:14.719
 Maybe we'll bring in Jeremiah next week to ask him about it.

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:21.700
 Chapter 10 answers the question of what the church must be doing

00:06:21.700 --> 00:06:23.920
 while God is turning up the heat of the judgments.

00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:31.460
 And what we're going to see in chapter 10 is this picture, vision unfolding

00:06:31.460 --> 00:06:35.760
 with the initial focus on an angel with a scroll,

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:38.780
 and he is called a mighty angel for a reason.

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:44.200
 And then the vision unfolds from this mighty angel with a scroll

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:51.339
 to John, the writer of Revelation, being given that scroll to eat.

00:06:52.579 --> 00:06:56.139
 So there are two scenes of this vision,

00:06:56.459 --> 00:07:02.379
 and they're designed to help us as a church to be faithful to Jesus today.

00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:06.659
 A faithful church is a prophetic church.

00:07:07.719 --> 00:07:09.459
 So let's walk through these scenes,

00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:12.039
 and I'm going to bring these things to bear as we go through.

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.660
 So scene one, this angel with the scroll.

00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:19.700
 And there's several things I want you to notice about this angel.

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.420
 Then all of a sudden there's this twist,

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:26.340
 and then we have this angelic announcement

00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:28.879
 that we see at the end of this section.

00:07:29.580 --> 00:07:33.500
 So first, some descriptions of this mighty angel.

00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:35.140
 Well, take a look at this,

00:07:35.200 --> 00:07:36.939
 because this mighty angel coming down from heaven,

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:38.400
 he's wrapped in a cloud.

00:07:39.080 --> 00:07:40.980
 He's got a rainbow over his head.

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:41.540
 And he's got a rainbow over his head.

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.220
 His face is like the sun.

00:07:44.780 --> 00:07:48.500
 And his legs are like pillars of fire.

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.420
 And when you look at your Bibles,

00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:54.540
 you realize those are all descriptions of God at some point.

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.820
 This is a God-like angel.

00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:59.020
 So much so,

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.100
 some scholars think that this is actually Jesus.

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:13.420
 But I find myself not persuaded because John is very clear that this is another angel.

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:21.780
 This mighty angel does have kind of God-like aura about him.

00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:28.239
 But it's because he's coming from the very presence of God.

00:08:28.239 --> 00:08:35.439
 He's radiating God's glory from being in the presence of God's glory.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.820
 This is an impressive angel.

00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:41.360
 The second thing I want you to notice is the movement.

00:08:41.900 --> 00:08:46.260
 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven.

00:08:46.380 --> 00:08:47.560
 He's coming from heaven.

00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.820
 From the very throne room of God.

00:08:50.900 --> 00:08:53.020
 From God's very presence.

00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:59.340
 Now this is in stark contrast to last week about all those demonic locust plague coming from the hell hole.

00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:06.399
 This angel, mighty angel, is coming down from heaven.

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.039
 And implied in that is that he's been sent.

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:17.379
 He's coming down to earth with a purpose.

00:09:18.319 --> 00:09:19.299
 From God.

00:09:20.299 --> 00:09:24.099
 The third thing I want you to notice is his stance.

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:32.139
 Now I spent a lot of time as a former athlete being trained by coaches

00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:36.879
 that when I am out in the field I need to have an athletic stance.

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.559
 Feet shoulder width apart.

00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.459
 Slight bend in my legs.

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.159
 Do I have an amen from any further athletes?

00:09:42.979 --> 00:09:43.219
 Amen.

00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:44.419
 Head on a swivel.

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:45.239
 You got it.

00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:49.039
 This angel does not have an athletic stance.

00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.000
 He's got an authoritative stance.

00:09:52.979 --> 00:09:54.219
 Did you notice that?

00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.939
 He's got one foot on the sea.

00:09:57.539 --> 00:09:58.199
 End of verse 2.

00:09:58.719 --> 00:10:01.559
 And his other foot is on the land.

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.359
 This angel is straddling sea and land.

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.500
 He's got all authority over sea and land.

00:10:12.019 --> 00:10:18.080
 And not to mention, he's bigger than any Paul Bunyan statue you've ever seen.

00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:21.860
 He's massive.

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:24.159
 Colossal.

00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:33.459
 This angel has come down on a mission and he is massive and brilliant.

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:35.899
 The scene is meant to impress you.

00:10:35.899 --> 00:10:40.600
 The fourth thing I want you to notice is back in verse 1.

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:44.100
 It's this is another mighty angel.

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.819
 And whenever you read something like that, you're like, wait, wait.

00:10:49.579 --> 00:10:50.659
 There was one before?

00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:53.879
 And the answer to that is yes.

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.199
 If you flip back to chapter 5, verse 1.

00:10:57.719 --> 00:10:58.779
 We're back in the throne room.

00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:07.699
 Then I saw on the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written and on the back, within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.

00:11:07.839 --> 00:11:08.639
 You remember that scroll?

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.079
 Verse 2.

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.500
 And I saw a mighty angel.

00:11:12.819 --> 00:11:13.899
 That's the reference.

00:11:15.079 --> 00:11:16.199
 And what was he doing?

00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:21.980
 He said, you know, proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:22.820
 Remember what John did?

00:11:22.940 --> 00:11:23.680
 John freaked out.

00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:24.900
 He started crying after that.

00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:25.759
 Good things happened.

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.200
 Here we have a reference to another angel.

00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:32.280
 Another mighty angel.

00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:39.900
 The angel that we see in Revelation 5, 2 is a mighty angel that is in the very throne room of God.

00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:42.680
 He's very in the presence of God.

00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:45.100
 And he is talking about a scroll.

00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.660
 A closed, sealed scroll.

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:57.860
 Here in chapter 10, verses 1 and 2, we have this other mighty angel coming from heaven.

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:02.160
 Reflecting the glory of God's presence.

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:08.160
 And in his hand, he is carrying a scroll.

00:12:10.900 --> 00:12:11.500
 Opened.

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:16.980
 Which brings me to the fifth thing I want you to notice.

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.100
 This scroll in his hand.

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.039
 What scroll is this?

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:27.779
 Well, first, let me just remind you where he's coming from.

00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.019
 He's coming from heaven.

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.039
 This is a scroll from heaven.

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.559
 And did you notice?

00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:36.439
 It's a little scroll.

00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:41.279
 Now, I'm going to save you a lot right now.

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:44.679
 There is so much out there on the little scroll.

00:12:44.939 --> 00:12:46.179
 What is this little scroll?

00:12:46.259 --> 00:12:49.419
 So, what I'm about to tell you is my best shot at it.

00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:50.679
 It's my opinion on it.

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.360
 You may disagree.

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:53.099
 That's okay.

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:57.980
 Why is this a little scroll?

00:12:59.019 --> 00:13:06.920
 Well, I think the simplest and best explanation to the little scroll is it's because of the size of the angel.

00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:10.580
 The angel's huge.

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:14.639
 He's straddling sea and land.

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:16.940
 Of course, it's going to look little.

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:23.620
 But what's more important to its apparent size is that it's opened.

00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:26.540
 It's an opened scroll.

00:13:27.340 --> 00:13:32.759
 It means it has been opened in heaven, brought to earth.

00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:39.039
 It's because it's been unsealed by the lamb.

00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:48.639
 I believe this little scroll is the same scroll that began in the right hand of the one seated on the throne, Revelation 5.1.

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.059
 To be taken by the lamb and unsealed.

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.960
 Now to be given to his angel.

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:56.939
 We'll come back to that, Revelation 1.1.

00:13:56.940 --> 00:14:03.580
 Who then is now bringing it to earth to give to John and commission him as a prophet.

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.480
 Who then, John, is giving to us through the book of Revelation.

00:14:12.420 --> 00:14:15.900
 This is God's plan for the fullness of time realized in Jesus.

00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:20.360
 You can shorthand it by saying it's the revelation of Jesus Christ.

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.360
 Revelation 1.1.

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:29.580
 It's about what God is doing to save sinners in the person of Jesus.

00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.680
 This mighty angel is coming down from God's presence.

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:38.759
 With God's opened plan for the fullness of time.

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:41.919
 It's revealed, made known, and to be made known.

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.879
 And this angel is coming down to earth to give it to John to proclaim.

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:49.560
 And to pass on.

00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:54.099
 And now you guys ready for the twist?

00:14:56.699 --> 00:14:57.939
 Verses 3 and 4.

00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:02.259
 This angel calls out with a loud voice like a roaring lion.

00:15:02.439 --> 00:15:04.159
 It would have reverberated in John.

00:15:06.099 --> 00:15:10.379
 And when he called out, the seven thunders sounded.

00:15:10.599 --> 00:15:12.699
 Whoa, that's really interesting.

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:14.679
 Verse 4.

00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:18.639
 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write.

00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.439
 But I heard a voice from heaven saying, seal up what the seven thunders have said.

00:15:22.939 --> 00:15:24.279
 And do not write it down.

00:15:24.359 --> 00:15:25.459
 This is really interesting.

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.319
 What is this?

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.939
 What is this all about?

00:15:28.979 --> 00:15:31.399
 This mighty angel straddling sea and land.

00:15:31.739 --> 00:15:33.039
 Holding the open scroll.

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:35.819
 He's calling out in a loud voice.

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.679
 John's ready to write it down.

00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:44.639
 John, Revelation 1.19, because he was to write down everything he saw for us.

00:15:45.779 --> 00:15:46.919
 John's about to write it down.

00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:52.379
 And then there's this voice from heaven that says, no, we're not going to do that.

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:56.799
 We're not doing the seven thunders.

00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:02.500
 Seal it.

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:06.620
 Close it.

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.000
 Don't write it.

00:16:10.079 --> 00:16:11.879
 This is not to be passed on.

00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:15.120
 Pretty interesting, isn't it?

00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.039
 What's this all about?

00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:21.439
 Well, here's how we're going to figure it out.

00:16:22.839 --> 00:16:24.639
 Has anything like this happened before?

00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:31.340
 Has there been an angel that has pronounced something and then something big happens?

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.439
 Well, we've seen it.

00:16:33.319 --> 00:16:41.100
 So in Revelation 6.1, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, these living creatures, these angelic beings around the throne,

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:45.319
 they call out, come, and one of the horsemen comes.

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:45.899
 Judgment.

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:46.019
 Judgment.

00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:50.779
 And then when we go to the seven trumpets, do you remember what happens?

00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:55.919
 An angel raises a trumpet, blows his trumpet, judgment comes.

00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:01.599
 So what we see here is angels.

00:17:01.699 --> 00:17:05.879
 What I'm trying to make a case is angels calling forth judgment.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.039
 It's interesting that these are seven thunders.

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.319
 Because there's been seven letters to the churches.

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.039
 Seven seals of judgment.

00:17:18.259 --> 00:17:19.940
 Seven trumpets of judgment.

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:25.299
 And what we're going to see in a little while, weeks out, seven bowls of God's judgment.

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:33.580
 This angel appears to be calling for seven thunder judgments.

00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:36.440
 Another cycle of judgments.

00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:36.580
 That's to take place.

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:42.880
 That's to take place after the trumpets and before the bowls.

00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:49.860
 And this voice is saying, no.

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.640
 Seal it.

00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:54.580
 Don't write it down.

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:56.940
 That's a twist.

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.660
 That should catch your attention.

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:03.080
 What is going on here?

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:11.439
 This voice is saying that these seven judgments of thunder aren't going to happen.

00:18:11.659 --> 00:18:16.519
 And what these judgments would consist of, we don't know.

00:18:18.619 --> 00:18:26.799
 But what we do know is that they would have extended the time before God's full and final judgment would fall.

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:39.220
 And so what these seven thunders must represent are another cycle of wrath that would have been partially poured out on all creation.

00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:48.519
 So why is this voice, who has authority to execute God's plan for the fullness of time from heaven,

00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.799
 nixing the thunder, seven thunder judgments?

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:55.079
 You know this voice.

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:57.740
 Flip back to Matthew 24.

00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:08.000
 Matthew 24 is a section in the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus himself is teaching about the end times.

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:15.019
 So I'm going to help you see what's going on here through Jesus' own words.

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:19.480
 Chapter 24, verses 21 and 22.

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.259
 For then there will be great tribulation, such, this is Jesus speaking,

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:29.839
 such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now.

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:31.559
 No, it never will be.

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:37.019
 And if those days had not been cut short,

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:40.460
 no human being would be saved,

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:42.440
 but for the sake of the elect,

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.420
 those days will be cut short.

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:48.319
 What's going on here?

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:52.900
 The cutting short of those days.

00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.259
 This mighty angel was about to call down another cycle of judgments,

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:04.960
 but the lamb cuts it short for the sake of his blood-bought own.

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.900
 This, my friends, is mercy.

00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.140
 He limits, he knows the suffering of his people,

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:17.840
 and he's limiting the suffering of his people.

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:25.559
 He sees the hard-heartedness of those who don't repent of the fifth and sixth trumpet,

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.299
 and he also hears his saints,

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:30.140
 How long, O Lord?

00:20:30.140 --> 00:20:38.960
 He cuts it short out of mercy for his blood-bought.

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:45.120
 And then what we see in verses 5 through 7 is this kind of adjustment.

00:20:47.520 --> 00:20:50.780
 The mighty angel is about to call down the seven thunder judgments.

00:20:51.300 --> 00:20:52.960
 He raises his right hand.

00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:58.600
 It was a way to indicate you're going to take an oath.

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:03.319
 And he swears by the one who lives forever and ever,

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:04.559
 the creator of all,

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:06.460
 of heaven and everything in it,

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.920
 of earth and everything in it,

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.000
 and of the sea and everything in it.

00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:13.120
 And remind you, he's standing over the sea and the land.

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.259
 And he says, as an oath,

00:21:18.219 --> 00:21:19.859
 there will be no more delay.

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:22.979
 No more delay.

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:26.000
 No more partial judgments.

00:21:26.679 --> 00:21:31.299
 We're going to go straight from the seventh trumpet to the seven bowls.

00:21:32.479 --> 00:21:38.319
 God's full and final outpouring of his wrath on all creation.

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:49.720
 And in so doing, God's plan is fulfilled.

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:55.500
 If you flip in your Bibles to Revelation chapter 15, 1,

00:21:56.819 --> 00:22:01.079
 what you see happening is this.

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.240
 Then I saw another sign in the heaven,

00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:05.700
 great and amazing seven angels with seven plagues.

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:07.439
 If you look quickly over to 15, 7,

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.660
 those seven plagues then take the form of bowls,

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:12.120
 bowls of God's wrath.

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:14.559
 And these, back to 15, 1,

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.019
 these seven plagues, which are the last.

00:22:18.140 --> 00:22:20.640
 For with them the wrath of God is finished,

00:22:21.340 --> 00:22:23.400
 fulfilled, finalized.

00:22:23.620 --> 00:22:24.779
 Turn to 16, 7.

00:22:25.940 --> 00:22:28.620
 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air

00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:31.480
 and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne saying,

00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.860
 It is done.

00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:36.519
 Fulfilled.

00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:38.440
 Finished.

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:39.320
 Finished.

00:22:44.120 --> 00:22:47.660
 So when this angel swears that there would be no more delay,

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:50.680
 but that in the days of the trumpet call,

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:54.019
 that seventh trumpet to be sounded by the seventh angel,

00:22:54.360 --> 00:22:55.980
 the mystery of God would be fulfilled.

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.759
 He's talking about the fulfillment of God's just wrath on earth,

00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.620
 poured out by the seven bowl judgments,

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:05.899
 just as he announced to his servants,

00:23:05.899 --> 00:23:09.039
 the prophets of the great and final day of the Lord.

00:23:13.719 --> 00:23:14.239
 Shocking.

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:21.200
 So what happens here in verses 1 through 7

00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.359
 is that there's this angel who brings an open scroll,

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:25.779
 and he's a brilliant angel,

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:28.940
 and he's announcing another cycle judgment,

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.680
 but he's interrupted by this heavenly voice

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:35.599
 in order to cut short the days of suffering for God's elect,

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:39.099
 and therefore the seventh trumpet is going to usher

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:41.940
 into God's full and final wrath.

00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.079
 But this nixing of the thunder judgments

00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:53.220
 doesn't change what this angel had come down to give John,

00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:58.839
 because in this angel's hand remains an open scroll

00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:04.059
 in which we all will be called to prophesy.

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:08.359
 A faithful church is a prophetic church.

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:12.440
 So would you turn with me now to verses 8 through 11,

00:24:13.379 --> 00:24:17.139
 the second scene where John is recommissioned as a prophet,

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:19.980
 and we are commissioned as prophets.

00:24:26.619 --> 00:24:29.740
 John's faithfulness,

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:31.759
 for John to be faithful,

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.579
 he must be prophetic.

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.799
 And for us to be faithful,

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:39.220
 we must be prophetic.

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:42.539
 And so there are three words I want to help you see.

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:45.140
 We're just going to get us through this last section.

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:47.099
 I want you to see the word take,

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:48.759
 I want you to see the word eat,

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:52.039
 and I want you to see the word prophesy.

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:58.859
 Let's look at that word take in verse 9.

00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:05.019
 This voice that I heard from heaven,

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.019
 excuse me, verse 8,

00:25:06.420 --> 00:25:09.399
 this voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again.

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:14.139
 The same voice that has just nixed the thunder judgments.

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:20.440
 That voice says to John,

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:25.800
 go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel

00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:28.360
 who's standing on the sea and on the land.

00:25:29.820 --> 00:25:30.320
 Go.

00:25:30.600 --> 00:25:33.340
 Here's the significance of what's going on here.

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:43.319
 This is a chain link of transmission

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:47.759
 of the revelation of Jesus Christ.

00:25:48.899 --> 00:25:51.179
 Here's what's going on.

00:25:51.659 --> 00:25:55.959
 This scroll started in the hand of the one seated on the throne.

00:25:56.679 --> 00:26:00.859
 And then it goes from his hand into the hands of the lamb

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:03.339
 who breaks open its seal.

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:07.799
 And then the scroll opened is given to this angel

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.519
 who then brings it down to earth

00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:14.159
 and now is going to give it to John

00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:18.639
 who's going to take it, eat it, and prophesy it

00:26:18.639 --> 00:26:22.039
 and write it down to give to us

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:27.319
 to take and to eat and to prophesy.

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:33.539
 If you flip back to Revelation chapter 1, 1,

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:36.539
 I'm not making this stuff up.

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:41.339
 The revelation of Jesus Christ,

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.639
 shorthand for the contents of the scroll.

00:26:45.919 --> 00:26:47.679
 The revelation of Jesus Christ,

00:26:47.899 --> 00:26:51.679
 which God gave to him, Jesus Christ,

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:53.960
 to show his servants, us,

00:26:54.299 --> 00:26:56.399
 the things that must soon take place.

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.300
 But you're saying there's only three links

00:26:58.300 --> 00:26:59.380
 in that chain, Salvati.

00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:01.220
 Well, look next.

00:27:01.660 --> 00:27:04.320
 He made it known, Jesus made it known

00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:07.019
 by sending his angel, mighty angel,

00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:09.800
 just come down, straddling sea and land.

00:27:11.280 --> 00:27:13.019
 He made it known by sending his angel

00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:16.240
 to his servant John, who then gives it to us.

00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.019
 Five links.

00:27:18.560 --> 00:27:22.259
 God, Jesus, angel, John, us.

00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:27.400
 And John's got to take it.

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:31.619
 John's got to take it.

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.240
 Go and take it.

00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:36.819
 Go take the scroll, John.

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:41.940
 This has so many similarities

00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:44.400
 to the callings of the prophets

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:46.460
 in the Old Testament, Ezekiel in particular.

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:49.480
 A scroll, God's saving message

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:51.840
 for those under judgment to save them,

00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:54.620
 given to a prophet for him to proclaim

00:27:54.620 --> 00:27:58.680
 so that God's people would be rescued back to him.

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:04.259
 And what John is being told here is,

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:07.079
 John, you've got to take the scroll.

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:09.100
 You've got to lay your hand on it.

00:28:09.100 --> 00:28:15.160
 But the scroll was for him to take.

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:18.319
 He's addressing John.

00:28:19.940 --> 00:28:22.579
 And here's how I want to apply this for us.

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:25.980
 John's prophetic commissioning

00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:29.960
 is like our prophetic commissioning.

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:33.819
 We are to grab hold

00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:37.480
 of this revelation of Jesus Christ.

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.819
 That's where it starts.

00:28:39.340 --> 00:28:40.880
 We got to realize

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.940
 this is being given to us.

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:49.519
 We take the revelation to ourselves.

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:51.320
 This scroll,

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:53.600
 this making known of God's plan

00:28:53.600 --> 00:28:54.620
 for the fullness of time

00:28:54.620 --> 00:28:55.740
 in the person of Jesus.

00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:00.140
 This is calling.

00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.200
 This is entrustment.

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:08.860
 This is being given God's message

00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:11.259
 for us to do something with.

00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.160
 And we have got to take it.

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:18.720
 Another way to think about it is,

00:29:20.100 --> 00:29:21.420
 brother, sister in Christ,

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.519
 God intends for you

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:28.519
 to grab hold of this revelation.

00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:32.960
 And for us to do it as a church,

00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:39.139
 we move from taking this

00:29:39.139 --> 00:29:42.720
 to eating it.

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.639
 We read,

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.720
 I went to the angel

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.139
 and told him to give me the little scroll

00:29:51.139 --> 00:29:52.099
 and he said to me,

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:54.039
 take and eat it.

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:55.680
 Eat it,

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:56.680
 the scroll,

00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:58.079
 will make your stomach bitter,

00:29:58.240 --> 00:29:59.240
 but in your mouth

00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.240
 it will be sweet as honey.

00:30:01.539 --> 00:30:02.859
 And I took the little scroll,

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.799
 verse 10,

00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:05.680
 from the hand of the angel

00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:07.079
 and I ate it.

00:30:07.139 --> 00:30:09.099
 And it was sweet as honey in my mouth,

00:30:09.399 --> 00:30:10.379
 but when I had eaten it,

00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.420
 my stomach was made bitter.

00:30:13.740 --> 00:30:14.220
 Eat it.

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:17.039
 He took it,

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:19.059
 now he's got to eat it.

00:30:20.159 --> 00:30:20.639
 Again,

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:22.480
 the calling of Ezekiel

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.759
 in Ezekiel chapter 3,

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:26.140
 God gives him a scroll,

00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:27.440
 his message

00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:29.059
 for the people of that time

00:30:29.059 --> 00:30:30.019
 who were under judgment,

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:32.039
 for him to eat it

00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.220
 and to call them to rescue,

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:36.360
 call them out of judgment.

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.339
 Eating it,

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:42.640
 this is a really interesting way

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.380
 to talk about it.

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:49.940
 It's a picture of internalizing

00:30:49.940 --> 00:30:51.279
 God's revelation.

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.599
 of internalizing God's message.

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.599
 Have you ever been to,

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:57.940
 you know,

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.960
 you're talking to somebody

00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.720
 and you're like talking

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.620
 really fast to them

00:31:01.620 --> 00:31:02.000
 and you're giving them

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.819
 a lot of information

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:04.420
 and they say,

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:04.779
 whoa, whoa,

00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.160
 you know what,

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:05.880
 give me a second,

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.759
 I just need a minute

00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.660
 to digest what you're saying.

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:13.039
 To take it to heart.

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:17.059
 To fully grasp it.

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:20.940
 To take it personally.

00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:25.500
 John is not just simply

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:26.980
 to take this.

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:29.259
 We're simply not to take it.

00:31:30.399 --> 00:31:32.940
 We're to eat it.

00:31:34.379 --> 00:31:35.139
 Internalize it.

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.359
 Claim it as our own.

00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:45.740
 This angel says,

00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:45.919
 hey,

00:31:45.959 --> 00:31:46.539
 when you eat it,

00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:47.000
 it's going to make

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.919
 your stomach bitter

00:31:47.919 --> 00:31:48.579
 and your mouth

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:49.519
 it's going to be sweet.

00:31:51.459 --> 00:31:51.979
 Internalizing

00:31:51.979 --> 00:31:53.759
 this revelation

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:55.159
 of Jesus Christ

00:31:55.159 --> 00:31:56.139
 will have

00:31:56.139 --> 00:31:58.279
 a bittersweet effect.

00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:01.099
 The sweetness

00:32:01.099 --> 00:32:03.299
 is recognizing

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:04.299
 the truth

00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:06.019
 of what we are

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:07.240
 ingesting.

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:08.899
 The truth

00:32:08.899 --> 00:32:09.519
 of how things

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:10.399
 really are.

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:11.199
 The truth

00:32:11.199 --> 00:32:12.179
 of who God is.

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.199
 Of who we are.

00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:13.779
 Of what he's done

00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:14.319
 in Jesus

00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:15.639
 and our need to respond.

00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:18.259
 And the sweetness

00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:19.219
 is knowing that

00:32:19.219 --> 00:32:20.539
 having responded

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.799
 to this message

00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:22.559
 ourselves

00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:23.259
 in repentance

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:23.799
 and faith.

00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:27.019
 We have peace

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:27.639
 with God.

00:32:28.779 --> 00:32:29.259
 Healing.

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:32.480
 But the bitterness

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:35.119
 what we will see

00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:36.179
 is that the heartache

00:32:36.179 --> 00:32:37.759
 of this

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:39.659
 of this

00:32:39.659 --> 00:32:40.599
 scroll

00:32:40.599 --> 00:32:41.639
 and its contents

00:32:41.639 --> 00:32:42.359
 the revelation

00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:43.559
 of Jesus Christ

00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:43.939
 it's

00:32:43.939 --> 00:32:44.799
 when we

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.619
 when we take it in

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:47.299
 and then when we

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:48.240
 proclaim it

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:52.119
 when this message

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:53.119
 falls on

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.119
 deaf ears

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:54.500
 because

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:56.019
 those deaf ears

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:57.259
 belong to a dead heart

00:32:57.259 --> 00:32:59.480
 and

00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:00.639
 when those

00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:02.320
 this message

00:33:02.320 --> 00:33:03.520
 falls on deaf ears

00:33:03.520 --> 00:33:04.480
 you realize

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:05.840
 that this good news

00:33:05.840 --> 00:33:06.900
 is now

00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:08.940
 a warning message

00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:09.580
 of judgment.

00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:15.560
 It's hard.

00:33:16.100 --> 00:33:16.820
 It's a heartache

00:33:16.820 --> 00:33:18.080
 especially when

00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:18.800
 the people

00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:19.300
 that you want

00:33:19.300 --> 00:33:21.500
 most to tell this to

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:23.380
 are the people

00:33:23.380 --> 00:33:24.420
 you love the most.

00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:27.460
 And then

00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:28.140
 the bitterness

00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:28.900
 is of course

00:33:28.900 --> 00:33:29.680
 the hurt

00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:30.519
 that can come

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:32.920
 when we

00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:33.420
 proclaim

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:34.400
 this message

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:35.140
 of God

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:37.640
 in Christ

00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:38.600
 for those

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:39.780
 under his judgment

00:33:39.780 --> 00:33:41.000
 and they're like

00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:41.420
 nope

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:42.400
 don't buy it

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:44.000
 and by the way

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.019
 how dare you

00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:46.759
 suggest

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:48.100
 that my

00:33:48.100 --> 00:33:48.680
 lifestyle

00:33:48.680 --> 00:33:49.920
 is offensive

00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.160
 to your God.

00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:58.680
 I won't

00:33:58.680 --> 00:33:59.400
 forget that

00:33:59.400 --> 00:33:59.759
 and you'll

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.519
 suffer for it.

00:34:01.540 --> 00:34:02.580
 What can happen

00:34:02.580 --> 00:34:03.420
 is the bitterness

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:04.540
 of this message

00:34:04.540 --> 00:34:05.960
 is not only

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:06.640
 seeing the heartache

00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:07.540
 of people who don't

00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:09.079
 take it in

00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:09.559
 themselves

00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:10.659
 but it's the

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:13.700
 the reaction

00:34:13.700 --> 00:34:14.860
 towards us

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:15.940
 the messengers

00:34:15.940 --> 00:34:17.920
 for faithfully

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.680
 proclaiming the

00:34:18.680 --> 00:34:19.500
 message to them.

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:23.000
 in verse 10

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:24.119
 John eats

00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:24.679
 the scroll

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:25.719
 and he

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:26.699
 experiences both

00:34:26.699 --> 00:34:27.199
 the sweetness

00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:28.260
 and the bitterness

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:29.420
 and so will we

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:30.719
 but brothers

00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:31.320
 and sisters

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:34.719
 you must

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:35.380
 eat

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:36.219
 the scroll

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:38.019
 you've got

00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:39.260
 to internalize

00:34:39.260 --> 00:34:40.019
 it yourself

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:40.820
 you've got

00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:41.840
 to internalize

00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:42.619
 the revelation

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:43.739
 of Jesus Christ

00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:44.699
 God's plan

00:34:44.699 --> 00:34:45.159
 for the fullness

00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:45.519
 of time

00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:46.280
 realized

00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:47.039
 in Jesus

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:49.800
 you've got

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:50.420
 to own it

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.840
 not because

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:52.440
 your parents

00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:52.960
 own it

00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.039
 not because

00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:54.719
 your spouse

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.840
 owns it

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.500
 not because

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:57.039
 your church

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.699
 owns it

00:34:57.699 --> 00:34:58.840
 you need

00:34:58.840 --> 00:34:59.559
 to own it

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.099
 yourself

00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:00.980
 because you

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:01.340
 become

00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:01.980
 personally

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.500
 convinced

00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:03.400
 of its

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:04.179
 truthfulness

00:35:04.179 --> 00:35:04.900
 and its

00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:05.480
 necessity

00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.019
 it's personal

00:35:08.019 --> 00:35:12.300
 when I was

00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:12.679
 a college

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:12.960
 student

00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:13.320
 I spent

00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:13.659
 a couple

00:35:13.659 --> 00:35:14.460
 summers

00:35:14.460 --> 00:35:15.179
 out in

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:15.659
 New Jersey

00:35:15.659 --> 00:35:16.380
 on the shore

00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:18.539
 and I

00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:19.099
 would watch

00:35:19.099 --> 00:35:20.140
 construction

00:35:20.140 --> 00:35:20.720
 workers

00:35:20.720 --> 00:35:21.480
 build

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:22.800
 boardwalks

00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:24.960
 and these

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:25.579
 huge

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:26.559
 pile

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:27.039
 driving

00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:27.640
 machines

00:35:27.640 --> 00:35:28.340
 there would

00:35:28.340 --> 00:35:28.720
 be this

00:35:28.720 --> 00:35:29.920
 pile unloaded

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.320
 and it was

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:30.660
 like this

00:35:30.660 --> 00:35:32.180
 big telephone

00:35:32.180 --> 00:35:32.680
 pole

00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:33.579
 and this

00:35:33.579 --> 00:35:35.640
 pile driver

00:35:35.640 --> 00:35:36.559
 would use

00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:37.119
 steam

00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:37.860
 and just

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:39.079
 hammer

00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:39.900
 this

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:40.539
 pile

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:41.260
 on down

00:35:41.260 --> 00:35:42.039
 through layers

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.619
 and layers

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:43.660
 of sand

00:35:43.660 --> 00:35:44.440
 until it

00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.720
 hit bedrock

00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.579
 wasn't

00:35:47.579 --> 00:35:47.899
 moving

00:35:47.899 --> 00:35:50.339
 now you

00:35:50.339 --> 00:35:51.359
 can build

00:35:51.359 --> 00:35:51.779
 your board

00:35:51.779 --> 00:35:52.199
 walk

00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:56.299
 internalizing

00:35:56.299 --> 00:35:57.519
 the gospel

00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:58.019
 of Jesus

00:35:58.019 --> 00:35:58.579
 Christ

00:35:58.579 --> 00:35:59.079
 is very

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.539
 similar

00:35:59.539 --> 00:36:01.879
 it's a

00:36:01.879 --> 00:36:02.619
 process

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:04.579
 of God

00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:05.439
 driving

00:36:05.439 --> 00:36:06.059
 the truth

00:36:06.059 --> 00:36:06.419
 of who

00:36:06.419 --> 00:36:06.719
 Jesus

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.279
 is

00:36:07.279 --> 00:36:08.319
 all the

00:36:08.319 --> 00:36:08.599
 way

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.339
 down

00:36:09.339 --> 00:36:09.699
 into

00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:10.519
 the bedrock

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:11.259
 of your

00:36:11.259 --> 00:36:11.859
 heart

00:36:11.860 --> 00:36:12.940
 where it

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:13.680
 will find

00:36:13.680 --> 00:36:15.760
 uncompromising

00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:16.599
 conviction

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:18.820
 you build

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.860
 on it

00:36:19.860 --> 00:36:23.440
 how do you

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:23.940
 become

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:25.460
 convinced

00:36:25.460 --> 00:36:26.539
 of this

00:36:26.539 --> 00:36:27.780
 how do you

00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:28.620
 how does this

00:36:28.620 --> 00:36:29.300
 process

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:30.940
 of conviction

00:36:30.940 --> 00:36:31.579
 happen

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:32.059
 well you

00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:32.539

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:36.760

00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:37.140
 a life

00:36:37.140 --> 00:36:37.559
 group

00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.039
 among other

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.539
 people who

00:36:39.539 --> 00:36:40.279
 are saying

00:36:40.279 --> 00:36:40.840
 I want

00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:41.139
 to be

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:41.840

 too

00:36:42.659 --> 00:36:43.239
 I know

00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:43.480
 it's

00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:43.920
 true

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:46.659

00:36:51.219 --> 00:36:51.880

00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:52.480
 and the

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:57.559
 down

00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:58.179
 onto the

00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:12.239
 in

00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:12.420
 the

00:43:12.420 --> 00:43:12.739
 worst

00:43:12.739 --> 00:43:13.000
 way

00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:13.639
 possible

00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:14.380
 we

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:15.119
 swapped

00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:15.480
 him

00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:15.940
 out

00:43:15.940 --> 00:43:16.500
 for

00:43:16.500 --> 00:43:16.840
 far

00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:17.139
 lesser

00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:17.819
 things

00:43:17.819 --> 00:43:18.920
 to

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:19.319
 worship

00:43:19.319 --> 00:43:20.259
 the

00:43:20.259 --> 00:43:20.460
 things

00:43:20.460 --> 00:43:20.619
 he

00:43:20.619 --> 00:43:21.179
 made

00:43:21.179 --> 00:43:22.199
 it's

00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:22.400
 called

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:23.119
 idolatry

00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:23.500
 and it's

00:43:23.500 --> 00:43:23.960
 a capital

00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:24.500
 offense

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:25.559
 it provokes

00:43:25.559 --> 00:43:26.059
 God's

00:43:26.059 --> 00:43:26.400
 wrath

00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:26.900
 that

00:43:26.900 --> 00:43:27.400
 is what

00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:27.980
 got us

00:43:27.980 --> 00:43:28.259
 to this

00:43:28.259 --> 00:43:28.639
 problem

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:29.039
 to begin

00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:29.340
 with

00:43:29.340 --> 00:43:32.340
 God

00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:32.980
 man

00:43:32.980 --> 00:43:33.860
 Jesus

00:43:33.860 --> 00:43:36.360
 God

00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:36.640
 sent

00:43:36.640 --> 00:43:37.099
 Jesus

00:43:37.099 --> 00:43:38.019
 to

00:43:38.019 --> 00:43:38.260
 bring

00:43:38.260 --> 00:43:38.440
 us

00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:38.800
 back

00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:39.000
 to

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.320
 God

00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:40.180
 by

00:43:40.180 --> 00:43:40.760
 addressing

00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:42.440
 God's

00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:42.800
 wrath

00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:43.099
 for

00:43:43.099 --> 00:43:43.380
 our

00:43:43.380 --> 00:43:43.820
 sin

00:43:43.820 --> 00:43:45.900
 Jesus

00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:46.680
 hung

00:43:46.680 --> 00:43:47.059
 on

00:43:47.059 --> 00:43:47.300
 the

00:43:47.300 --> 00:43:47.860
 cross

00:43:47.860 --> 00:43:48.640
 bearing

00:43:48.640 --> 00:43:49.320
 God's

00:43:49.320 --> 00:43:49.740
 wrath

00:43:49.740 --> 00:43:50.340
 for

00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:50.760
 our

00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:51.380
 rebellious

00:43:51.380 --> 00:43:52.280
 idolatry

00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:56.559
 and this

00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:56.880
 Jesus

00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:57.240
 didn't

00:43:57.240 --> 00:43:57.559
 stay

00:43:57.559 --> 00:43:57.860
 dead

00:43:57.860 --> 00:43:58.460
 he was

00:43:58.460 --> 00:43:58.880
 raised

00:43:58.880 --> 00:43:59.160
 from the

00:43:59.160 --> 00:43:59.320
 dead

00:43:59.320 --> 00:43:59.620
 he's

00:43:59.620 --> 00:44:00.000
 reigning

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:00.320
 right

00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:00.680
 now

00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:01.199
 and he's

00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:01.399
 going

00:44:01.399 --> 00:44:01.619
 to

00:44:01.619 --> 00:44:02.099
 return

00:44:02.099 --> 00:44:02.519
 and when

00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:03.079
 he returns

00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:03.299
 he's

00:44:03.299 --> 00:44:03.480
 going to

00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:03.859
 vindicate

00:44:03.859 --> 00:44:04.099
 his

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:04.460
 saints

00:44:04.460 --> 00:44:05.279
 and he's

00:44:05.279 --> 00:44:05.519
 going to

00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:05.879
 pour out

00:44:05.879 --> 00:44:06.279
 the wrath

00:44:06.279 --> 00:44:06.519
 of the

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:06.799
 lamb

00:44:06.799 --> 00:44:10.960
 God

00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:11.460
 man

00:44:11.460 --> 00:44:12.059
 Jesus

00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:13.019
 and the

00:44:13.019 --> 00:44:13.619
 last word

00:44:13.619 --> 00:44:13.919
 is

00:44:13.919 --> 00:44:15.659
 respond

00:44:15.659 --> 00:44:17.799
 you've

00:44:17.799 --> 00:44:18.099
 got to

00:44:18.099 --> 00:44:18.679
 respond

00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:19.359
 to this

00:44:19.359 --> 00:44:21.079
 and

00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:22.199
 you either

00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:22.879
 respond by

00:44:22.879 --> 00:44:23.779
 rejecting it

00:44:23.779 --> 00:44:24.619
 or respond

00:44:24.619 --> 00:44:25.759
 by repentance

00:44:25.759 --> 00:44:26.440
 and faith

00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:26.859
 and saying

00:44:26.859 --> 00:44:27.739
 oh man

00:44:27.739 --> 00:44:28.639
 I did not

00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:29.179
 know that

00:44:29.179 --> 00:44:29.779
 so thankful

00:44:29.779 --> 00:44:30.319
 for telling

00:44:30.319 --> 00:44:30.599
 me

00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:31.139
 I'm

00:44:31.139 --> 00:44:31.500
 turning

00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:32.039
 from my

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:32.719
 idolatry

00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:33.159
 and trusting

00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:33.699
 myself

00:44:33.699 --> 00:44:34.000
 and my

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:34.460
 unbelief

00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:34.880
 in God

00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:35.579
 and I'm

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:35.839
 turning

00:44:35.839 --> 00:44:36.440
 to Jesus

00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:37.460
 trusting

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:37.980
 in him

00:44:37.980 --> 00:44:38.839
 trusting

00:44:38.839 --> 00:44:39.420
 in this

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:39.920
 revelation

00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:40.199
 you're

00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:40.659
 telling me

00:44:40.659 --> 00:44:41.000
 about

00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:41.619
 that's

00:44:41.619 --> 00:44:42.380
 from God

00:44:42.380 --> 00:44:43.539
 to save

00:44:43.539 --> 00:44:43.980
 me

00:44:43.980 --> 00:44:47.860
 and by

00:44:47.860 --> 00:44:48.279
 the way

00:44:48.279 --> 00:44:49.420
 no

00:44:49.420 --> 00:44:50.199
 response

00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:51.940
 is a

00:44:51.940 --> 00:44:52.539
 response

00:44:52.539 --> 00:44:54.279
 it's

00:44:54.279 --> 00:44:54.480
 called

00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:55.139
 waffling

00:44:55.139 --> 00:44:58.739
 and it's

00:44:58.739 --> 00:44:59.219
 a rejection

00:44:59.219 --> 00:44:59.860
 of Christ

00:44:59.860 --> 00:45:05.300
 you know

00:45:05.300 --> 00:45:05.599
 who are we

00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:05.880
 to tell

00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:06.320
 this to

00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:08.840
 anybody

00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:09.079
 who

00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:09.420
 listen

00:45:09.420 --> 00:45:11.780
 can I

00:45:11.780 --> 00:45:11.980
 give you

00:45:11.980 --> 00:45:12.200
 another

00:45:12.200 --> 00:45:12.740
 resource

00:45:12.740 --> 00:45:14.000
 it's

00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:14.200
 called

00:45:14.200 --> 00:45:15.039
 the art

00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:15.440
 of

00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:15.940
 neighboring

00:45:15.940 --> 00:45:17.079
 you can

00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:17.340
 look it

00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:17.480
 up

00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:17.980
 online

00:45:17.980 --> 00:45:19.420
 Jenny and I

00:45:19.420 --> 00:45:20.019
 have extremely

00:45:20.019 --> 00:45:20.840
 helped by it

00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:21.400
 I think we

00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:22.019
 are put on

00:45:22.019 --> 00:45:22.400
 by it

00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:23.240
 by Rick and

00:45:23.240 --> 00:45:23.620
 Jasmine

00:45:23.620 --> 00:45:24.320
 Aldrich who

00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:24.820
 are like

00:45:24.820 --> 00:45:26.019
 PhDs in

00:45:26.019 --> 00:45:26.300
 the art

00:45:26.300 --> 00:45:26.720
 of neighboring

00:45:26.720 --> 00:45:29.100
 but I

00:45:29.100 --> 00:45:29.600
 would commend

00:45:29.600 --> 00:45:30.180
 it to you

00:45:30.180 --> 00:45:31.300
 life groups

00:45:31.300 --> 00:45:31.800
 I would

00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:32.400
 commend the

00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:33.120
 material to

00:45:33.120 --> 00:45:33.900
 you to

00:45:33.900 --> 00:45:34.460
 position your

00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:35.000
 life groups

00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:35.519
 to think

00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:36.240
 about the

00:45:36.240 --> 00:45:36.740
 summer of

00:45:36.740 --> 00:45:37.860
 2019 in a

00:45:37.860 --> 00:45:38.480
 different way

00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:40.240
 of taking

00:45:40.240 --> 00:45:41.960
 eating and

00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:42.840
 prophesying

00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:47.079
 you've got to

00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:47.920
 take the

00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:48.440
 revelation

00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:49.320
 the scroll

00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:50.720
 you've got to

00:45:50.720 --> 00:45:51.079
 take it

00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:51.740
 yourself

00:45:51.740 --> 00:45:53.519
 lay your

00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:54.280
 hand on it

00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:55.320
 and then you've

00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:55.980
 got to take it

00:45:55.980 --> 00:45:56.880
 down deep

00:45:56.880 --> 00:45:57.800
 internalize it

00:45:57.800 --> 00:45:58.360
 eat it

00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:00.220
 and then when

00:46:00.220 --> 00:46:00.880
 it hits

00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:01.720
 bedrock

00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:03.980
 you proclaim

00:46:03.980 --> 00:46:04.359
 it

00:46:04.359 --> 00:46:06.359
 you speak

00:46:06.359 --> 00:46:07.059
 it

00:46:07.059 --> 00:46:10.659
 and just a

00:46:10.659 --> 00:46:11.219
 word of

00:46:11.219 --> 00:46:11.799
 reality

00:46:11.799 --> 00:46:15.099
 when we

00:46:15.099 --> 00:46:15.939
 become prophetic

00:46:15.939 --> 00:46:17.319
 in our city

00:46:17.319 --> 00:46:18.219
 for Christ

00:46:18.219 --> 00:46:20.399
 it's going to

00:46:20.399 --> 00:46:21.099
 be bittersweet

00:46:21.099 --> 00:46:23.659
 there's going to

00:46:23.659 --> 00:46:24.259
 be blessing

00:46:24.259 --> 00:46:25.319
 sweet blessing

00:46:25.319 --> 00:46:26.219
 of people coming

00:46:26.219 --> 00:46:26.819
 to faith in

00:46:26.819 --> 00:46:27.099
 Jesus

00:46:27.099 --> 00:46:28.119
 it's happening

00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.079
 but then there's

00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:30.379
 going to be
