00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.720
 Has anybody been to a high school cross-country meet before?

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:06.339
 It's a lot of fun.

00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:11.179
 What happens is you go and you're there to support a runner or a team of runners,

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.859
 and they're running this 3.1-mile kind of course,

00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:18.339
 and what you do is you go to different points on the course,

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:21.019
 and you get ahead of the runners, and you see them coming,

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.199
 and you're like, you run, run, run, keep up, keep up, don't stop,

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.339
 don't freak out, keep going, press on,

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:32.079
 and then they run by you, and then you go to the next point,

00:00:32.179 --> 00:00:35.259
 and you see them coming, and you're like, don't stop, run, run, run,

00:00:35.380 --> 00:00:37.500
 persevere, endure, do it, do it, do it,

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:43.480
 and then you run to the end where the final push is going on,

00:00:43.519 --> 00:00:46.399
 and that's usually the hardest point of the journey,

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.719
 tribulation, things get intense,

00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:54.840
 and you say, keep going, don't stop, press on,

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:03.340
 Sunday after Sunday, the book of Revelation is cheering us faithful saints on.

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.780
 It's saying, keep going, stay focused on Jesus.

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:13.020
 Even when things get hard, press on, don't give up, Sunday after Sunday.

00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:20.359
 Revelation is an ongoing encouragement for Christians who are suffering.

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.719
 Keep going on, but the passage that we're looking at this morning,

00:01:25.859 --> 00:01:27.659
 Revelation 14, 14 through 20,

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.060
 it's not only encouragement to suffering saints,

00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:32.340
 it's a wake-up call.

00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:34.400
 Bling, bling, bling.

00:01:36.539 --> 00:01:37.180
 Bling, bling.

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:39.560
 Hello?

00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:43.219
 Good morning, this is Comfort in Sweets.

00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:47.200
 This is your 5.30 a.m. wake-up call, Mr. Salvati.

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.719
 Thank you.

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:50.980
 Click.

00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:53.760
 If you've ever received one of those wake-up calls before,

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.939
 your next two questions are this.

00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.840
 Where am I?

00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:02.500
 And what am I doing here?

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.740
 Revelation 14, 14 through 20,

00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:10.379
 is going to be a wake-up call for many of us

00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:12.500
 in which we need to ask the question,

00:02:13.099 --> 00:02:16.240
 where am I and what am I doing here?

00:02:18.019 --> 00:02:21.359
 You see, this passage that we're looking at this morning,

00:02:21.939 --> 00:02:25.659
 this passage is all about the return of Jesus Christ

00:02:25.659 --> 00:02:29.759
 and the great and final harvest of souls that He brings with Him.

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.139
 It's an encouragement for those who are suffering,

00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.859
 and it's a wake-up call for those who have fallen asleep.

00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:38.199
 It's good news for everybody,

00:02:38.399 --> 00:02:41.179
 because we wouldn't want you to be asleep when Jesus comes,

00:02:41.219 --> 00:02:41.839
 now wouldn't we?

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:46.000
 So here's how we're going to proceed.

00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:50.480
 We're going to ask four questions of this passage,

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.620
 and we're going to then answer them.

00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.379
 Question number one,

00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:57.659
 who is this one coming on a cloud,

00:02:57.780 --> 00:02:59.599
 because that's quite a ride?

00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:02.480
 Question two,

00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:07.420
 what will happen when this one riding on a cloud gets here?

00:03:07.419 --> 00:03:09.719
 Question three,

00:03:10.939 --> 00:03:12.419
 what is God's wrath,

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:16.259
 and why is it so awful,

00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:18.599
 and is it fair?

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:21.299
 Question four,

00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.419
 how do we respond to this,

00:03:25.239 --> 00:03:28.079
 this vision of Jesus coming

00:03:28.079 --> 00:03:29.699
 and bringing with Him

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.799
 full and final judgment of all?

00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.219
 Like I said,

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:38.460
 for Christians suffering on account of Jesus,

00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:40.160
 the coming of Jesus,

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.380
 and the coming harvest,

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.300
 that's good news.

00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.360
 But if you've been lulled to sleep by the world,

00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:48.860
 this is a wake-up call,

00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.400
 and that's good news too.

00:03:52.700 --> 00:03:54.360
 So let's look at verse 14.

00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:56.500
 We're going to do a close-up.

00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:58.560
 Imagine the camera closing,

00:03:59.040 --> 00:03:59.480
 kind of bringing,

00:03:59.960 --> 00:04:02.780
 focusing in on verse 14 of chapter 14.

00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:03.740
 And we read this,

00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:04.260
 Then I looked,

00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:04.700
 and behold,

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:05.960
 a white cloud,

00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.380
 and seated on the cloud,

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:08.840
 one like a son of man,

00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:10.120
 with a golden crown on his head,

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:12.880
 and a sharp sickle in his hand.

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.460
 Who is this one coming on a cloud?

00:04:17.460 --> 00:04:18.699
 One like a son of man.

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:19.939
 And when you read,

00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:20.900
 one like a son of man,

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:21.980
 don't think comparison,

00:04:22.580 --> 00:04:22.900
 like,

00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:23.680
 like,

00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:25.240
 think title.

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:27.180
 Son of man.

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:28.699
 It's a title.

00:04:29.580 --> 00:04:30.819
 It's a messianic title.

00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:32.580
 It's Christ's title.

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:34.060
 It's the title of a king.

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.479
 It was Jesus' favorite title of himself

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:41.719
 all throughout the days he walked on earth

00:04:41.719 --> 00:04:42.919
 and all throughout the Gospels.

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:43.560
 Remember this,

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:44.459
 Mark 10, 45?

00:04:45.159 --> 00:04:46.339
 Talking of himself.

00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:47.839
 The son of man

00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.659
 came not to be served,

00:04:49.719 --> 00:04:50.360
 but to serve,

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:51.899
 and to give his life

00:04:51.899 --> 00:04:53.799
 as a ransom for many.

00:04:54.419 --> 00:04:56.599
 He came to give his life

00:04:56.599 --> 00:04:58.019
 as an offering

00:04:58.019 --> 00:05:01.839
 to fully satisfy God's wrath for sinners.

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:06.180
 Behind this title,

00:05:06.359 --> 00:05:06.919
 son of man,

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.199
 is Daniel chapter 7,

00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:09.399
 verses 13 through 14.

00:05:09.799 --> 00:05:11.319
 And here's what's going on in that passage.

00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:12.939
 One like a son of man

00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:15.120
 goes to the ancient of days on a cloud.

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:16.979
 And the ancient of days

00:05:16.979 --> 00:05:18.639
 then gives this one,

00:05:18.799 --> 00:05:19.740
 like a son of man,

00:05:19.740 --> 00:05:21.259
 all authority

00:05:21.259 --> 00:05:23.560
 over all peoples,

00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:24.660
 all nations,

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:25.879
 all languages,

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:27.900
 an everlasting dominion

00:05:27.900 --> 00:05:29.379
 to create a kingdom

00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:31.400
 that will never be destroyed.

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:34.439
 The son of man

00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:35.720
 is a title of a king.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:37.960
 God's king.

00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.719
 And what we see here

00:05:40.719 --> 00:05:42.739
 is the king

00:05:42.739 --> 00:05:45.699
 coming back to earth.

00:05:49.539 --> 00:05:50.639
 And did you notice

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:52.680
 he's wearing a gold crown?

00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.060
 That's no ordinary crown.

00:05:56.179 --> 00:05:57.679
 That's the crown of a victor.

00:05:58.199 --> 00:05:59.439
 If your name is Stephen,

00:05:59.979 --> 00:06:01.539
 you're named after this crown.

00:06:02.179 --> 00:06:03.199
 It's a victor's crown.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.219
 What it means is

00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:09.540
 this king coming on this cloud

00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:10.840
 is victorious.

00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:12.780
 And we already learn

00:06:12.780 --> 00:06:13.760
 from chapter 12

00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:14.980
 that he's conquered

00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:16.780
 through his death and resurrection.

00:06:17.380 --> 00:06:18.180
 He threw down

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:20.260
 the ancient devil,

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.520
 the serpent of old,

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:22.420
 the dragon.

00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:25.380
 And now he's coming back

00:06:25.380 --> 00:06:27.740
 to complete what he started.

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:29.700
 And did you notice his ride?

00:06:32.760 --> 00:06:34.080
 He's coming on a cloud.

00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:34.880
 Again, it's a reference

00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:36.020
 to Daniel chapter 7.

00:06:36.780 --> 00:06:37.660
 If you started,

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:38.560
 if we read through

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:39.480
 the book of Revelation

00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.800
 in one sitting,

00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:42.100
 if we read it here

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:42.740
 this morning,

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:43.820
 we would have started

00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:44.840
 in Revelation 1

00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:46.180
 and in verse 7,

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.420
 John says about Jesus,

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:49.820
 he is one

00:06:49.820 --> 00:06:50.980
 who is coming

00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:52.200
 on the clouds.

00:06:54.260 --> 00:06:54.560
 And so,

00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:55.840
 if we were to read

00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:56.860
 what we're reading now

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:57.840
 in light of 1.7,

00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:58.320
 we'd be like,

00:06:58.380 --> 00:06:58.520
 oh,

00:06:58.860 --> 00:06:59.540
 that's the guy.

00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:00.940
 Jesus.

00:07:02.900 --> 00:07:04.200
 Acts chapter 1,

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:04.839
 Jesus,

00:07:05.159 --> 00:07:05.899
 after his death,

00:07:05.979 --> 00:07:06.800
 after his resurrection,

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:07.979
 after he does

00:07:07.979 --> 00:07:08.939
 his great commission,

00:07:09.139 --> 00:07:10.579
 he tells his disciples

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:11.240
 that they're going to be

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.599
 his witnesses to Judea

00:07:12.599 --> 00:07:13.699
 in Jerusalem,

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:14.120
 Judea,

00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:14.479
 Samaria,

00:07:14.539 --> 00:07:15.039
 and to the ends

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:15.680
 of the age.

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.759
 After he gets done

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:17.279
 doing that,

00:07:17.539 --> 00:07:19.060
 he ascends into heaven

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:19.800
 on a cloud.

00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:22.240
 His disciples are like,

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:22.659
 what?

00:07:23.219 --> 00:07:24.339
 Two angels show up

00:07:24.339 --> 00:07:25.759
 and they say in 1.11,

00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.360
 men of Galilee,

00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:28.259
 why do you stand

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:29.039
 looking into heaven?

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.480
 This Jesus

00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.379
 who was taken up

00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:33.340
 from you into heaven

00:07:33.340 --> 00:07:34.620
 will come in the same way

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:36.200
 you saw him go into heaven

00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:37.580
 on a cloud

00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:39.060
 coming back.

00:07:40.140 --> 00:07:40.920
 The king.

00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:47.660
 Let's put this in perspective.

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:48.820
 Let's just say

00:07:48.820 --> 00:07:50.460
 you're throwing

00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:51.920
 a final four party

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:52.480
 at your house.

00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:54.560
 People start coming.

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:55.879
 They're showing up

00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:56.820
 in their rides.

00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.319
 Subaru pulls up,

00:07:58.379 --> 00:07:59.339
 hey, come on in.

00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:01.180
 Ford, yeah, hey, buddy,

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:01.699
 come on in.

00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:03.839
 Toyota, nice car,

00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:04.439
 come on in.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:05.659
 And then someone

00:08:05.659 --> 00:08:06.560
 shows up on a cloud.

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.980
 They drop in on a cloud.

00:08:11.659 --> 00:08:12.699
 You're going to be thinking,

00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:15.659
 you're not from around here,

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:15.920
 are you?

00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.039
 Jesus is set apart.

00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:24.879
 He's riding on a cloud.

00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:26.539
 He's coming from heaven.

00:08:27.779 --> 00:08:29.480
 We're getting a close up.

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.019
 John's giving us

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:32.059
 a close up

00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:33.500
 of the returning Christ.

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.360
 And did you notice

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:34.799
 he's seated?

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:35.580
 It's the position

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:36.200
 of a judge.

00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.220
 Judges at this time,

00:08:38.319 --> 00:08:38.860
 even today,

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.100
 they do their judging

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:41.220
 in a seated position.

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:43.539
 And did you notice

00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:44.519
 the sickle in his hand?

00:08:46.319 --> 00:08:47.480
 It's a curved,

00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:48.860
 crescent-shaped blade

00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:50.279
 attached to a handle

00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:51.759
 that's used for harvesting.

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:51.899
 thing.

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:55.899
 The victorious king

00:08:55.899 --> 00:08:57.259
 who's going to judge

00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.779
 riding on this ride

00:08:58.779 --> 00:08:59.860
 is coming back

00:08:59.860 --> 00:09:00.879
 to harvest.

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:02.759
 It's a picture of judgment.

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.159
 So in Revelation 14, 14,

00:09:07.299 --> 00:09:08.860
 we are given this close up

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:10.740
 of the returning king,

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:11.439
 Jesus,

00:09:12.319 --> 00:09:14.139
 ready to harvest

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:15.620
 the earth.

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:19.620
 But let's pan out

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.039
 for a second

00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:20.399
 because you've got

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:20.899
 to see something.

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:24.940
 Remember in Revelation 4,

00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:26.419
 14, 1 through 5

00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:27.019
 last week,

00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:28.139
 I pointed out

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:29.399
 that in this section,

00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:30.960
 we see

00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.740
 the 144,000,

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:35.879
 those with the name

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:36.379
 of the lamb

00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:37.120
 on their foreheads

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.200
 gathered around the lamb,

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:39.460
 they're worshiping him.

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:40.299
 We have a picture

00:09:40.299 --> 00:09:41.299
 of the redeemed

00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:42.919
 worshiping the lamb.

00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:44.220
 Now if you flip over

00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:45.440
 to chapter 15,

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:47.019
 verses 2 through 4,

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:48.259
 what you see is

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:50.019
 people mingled around

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:51.480
 worshiping with harps,

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:51.919
 God,

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:52.580
 and they're singing

00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:53.980
 the song of Moses

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:56.240
 and the song of the lamb.

00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:57.639
 So on either side

00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.360
 of this passage,

00:09:58.960 --> 00:09:59.240
 Jesus,

00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.620
 the son of man coming,

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:01.519
 you have

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.019
 the redeemed singing

00:10:03.019 --> 00:10:04.199
 of the lamb.

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:07.159
 Now if you move

00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:08.600
 in one step

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.960
 in verses,

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:11.279
 chapter 14,

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:13.720
 verses 6 through 11,

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.840
 you have three angels

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:16.980
 announcing judgment.

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:19.000
 If you look at

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.460
 chapter 14,

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.379
 15 through 20,

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:24.620
 you have three angels

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:25.899
 enacting judgment.

00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:26.799
 So what you have is this,

00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:28.240
 you have the redeemed

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:29.439
 singing the praises

00:10:29.439 --> 00:10:29.919
 of the lamb,

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:30.919
 and then you have

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:32.199
 three angels,

00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:33.459
 six angels,

00:10:33.979 --> 00:10:34.479
 announcing,

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:35.559
 declaring,

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:36.679
 enacting judgment.

00:10:36.959 --> 00:10:37.740
 And in the middle

00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:38.360
 of them

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.179
 is the son of man.

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:43.659
 It draws your gaze

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:44.059
 to him.

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:45.139
 Have you ever been

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:46.279
 on 75th street

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:46.779
 and you're driving

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:47.559
 by the Goodwill

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.839
 building by Hillcrest?

00:10:49.979 --> 00:10:50.179
 Do you know

00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:50.799
 what I'm talking about?

00:10:51.379 --> 00:10:51.919
 And you're driving

00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:52.500
 by and you're looking,

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.459
 what is up with

00:10:53.459 --> 00:10:54.259
 that wonky roof

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:54.620
 on there?

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:56.599
 It's like this

00:10:56.599 --> 00:10:57.339
 inverted roof.

00:10:57.340 --> 00:10:59.860
 And so the eaves

00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:00.500
 of the roof,

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:01.180
 the roof line,

00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:02.220
 it draws your attention

00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:03.340
 to the center,

00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:05.519
 which brings your eye

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:06.660
 down to that column,

00:11:06.780 --> 00:11:07.580
 which is the entrance

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:08.660
 of the building.

00:11:10.340 --> 00:11:12.480
 The structure of that

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.879
 draws your attention

00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:14.680
 to the entrance

00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:15.740
 of Goodwill.

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:18.379
 The structure of this passage

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:19.780
 draws your attention

00:11:19.780 --> 00:11:22.259
 to the son of man

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:23.780
 coming,

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:26.039
 who's going to judge all

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:27.659
 and he's in the middle

00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:29.559
 of those being judged

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.159
 and those who are

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:32.179
 singing his praises.

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:37.220
 He's coming.

00:11:38.939 --> 00:11:39.899
 He's coming.

00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:41.939
 And he's bringing

00:11:41.939 --> 00:11:43.220
 judgment with him.

00:11:44.259 --> 00:11:46.519
 But I gotta bring you

00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.259
 out one more.

00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:49.000
 Let's pan out one more.

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.379
 Because there's a reason

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:52.059
 why God through John

00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:53.079
 is reminding us

00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:54.659
 that Jesus is coming

00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:55.799
 as the returning king

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:57.019
 to judge everyone.

00:11:58.299 --> 00:11:59.459
 Remember chapter 12

00:11:59.459 --> 00:12:00.019
 and 13?

00:12:01.119 --> 00:12:02.139
 The anti-trinity,

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:03.479
 the dragon,

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:04.619
 thrown down,

00:12:04.839 --> 00:12:05.559
 ticked off,

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.879
 declares war

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.119
 and wages war

00:12:08.119 --> 00:12:08.819
 on the saints

00:12:08.819 --> 00:12:09.839
 in chapter 13

00:12:09.839 --> 00:12:10.919
 through the beast

00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:12.119
 and the false prophet,

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:12.899
 power,

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:13.719
 propaganda,

00:12:13.979 --> 00:12:14.939
 seeking to mislead

00:12:14.939 --> 00:12:15.579
 the nations

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:18.759
 and to cause conflict

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.439
 and hardship

00:12:19.439 --> 00:12:20.519
 for God's saints.

00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:21.219
 Do you remember that?

00:12:22.059 --> 00:12:23.219
 And then here,

00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.039
 well let me,

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.799
 chapter 13 verse 14,

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:27.479
 we have those

00:12:27.479 --> 00:12:28.679
 following the beast,

00:12:28.859 --> 00:12:30.339
 they're singing his praises,

00:12:30.599 --> 00:12:32.219
 they're boasting in him,

00:12:32.339 --> 00:12:33.000
 they're saying,

00:12:33.619 --> 00:12:35.159
 who is like the beast?

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.179
 Who can fight against him?

00:12:41.439 --> 00:12:43.419
 Chapter 14 answers that.

00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:46.599
 Who is like the beast?

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.360
 The son of man?

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.039
 Coming on a ride

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.099
 of a cloud?

00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:53.679
 He's not on earth,

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.699
 he's coming from heaven?

00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:57.360
 And when he comes,

00:12:57.419 --> 00:12:58.179
 he's bringing judgment?

00:12:58.939 --> 00:12:59.899
 The first time

00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:00.919
 the son of man came,

00:13:01.339 --> 00:13:02.779
 he threw the dragon down

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:03.240
 through his death

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:03.779
 and resurrection.

00:13:04.219 --> 00:13:05.139
 The second time

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:06.259
 the son of man comes,

00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:07.419
 he's going to throw

00:13:07.419 --> 00:13:08.039
 the dragon

00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.240
 into the lake of fire?

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.419
 He's going to throw

00:13:11.419 --> 00:13:11.500
 the dragon

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:14.939
 if you read chapter 12

00:13:14.939 --> 00:13:15.399
 and 13

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.679
 and you start getting scared,

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:18.240
 chapter 14 is like,

00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:18.959
 hey,

00:13:19.479 --> 00:13:20.139
 he's coming.

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:22.779
 Your king is coming.

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:24.899
 The hero

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:26.139
 of all time

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.099
 is coming.

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.139
 And he's going to make

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:30.219
 all wrongs

00:13:30.219 --> 00:13:31.259
 right.

00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:34.100
 So if you are

00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:36.019
 reading this

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:37.019
 in the first century

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:38.340
 and you're feeling

00:13:38.340 --> 00:13:39.059
 the pinch

00:13:39.059 --> 00:13:40.500
 of publicly identifying

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:42.019
 yourself with Jesus,

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.600
 you're catching heat

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.120
 for it,

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:47.740
 this is a well-timed vision

00:13:47.740 --> 00:13:48.819
 to put courage

00:13:48.819 --> 00:13:49.460
 in your heart.

00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:51.819
 He's coming

00:13:51.819 --> 00:13:53.639
 and when he comes,

00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:55.379
 he will vindicate you

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.740
 in his judgment.

00:13:56.740 --> 00:14:00.100
 But it's also

00:14:00.100 --> 00:14:01.220
 a bit of a wake-up call

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:05.139
 because many of us

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:06.100
 can get lulled

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:07.039
 into the sleep

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:07.700
 of thinking

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:09.279
 that there's

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:10.680
 no judgment coming,

00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:12.159
 that it's just

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:12.940
 one day

00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:14.019
 after the other

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:15.560
 of comfort

00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:16.120
 and pleasure,

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:18.620
 nothing to worry about.

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:21.039
 He's coming.

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.480
 Bling, bling, bling.

00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:25.980
 It's a wake-up call.

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:29.200
 What will happen

00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:29.799
 when he comes?

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:31.919
 Jesus is coming.

00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:32.879
 What will happen

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:33.519
 when he comes?

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.039
 We find that

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.960
 in verses 15 through 20.

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:38.779
 And what we see here

00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:40.019
 is that the entire

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.620
 population of the earth

00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:43.259
 that is on this planet,

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.580
 when Jesus comes back,

00:14:44.899 --> 00:14:46.480
 they will be harvested

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.220
 with two separate harvests,

00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:52.100
 with two different reapers,

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:53.480
 two different crops,

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:55.060
 two different destinations.

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:55.299
 Christians.

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.519
 Now, not all

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.479
 Christian scholars

00:14:58.479 --> 00:15:00.119
 agree on the nature

00:15:00.119 --> 00:15:01.399
 of these harvests.

00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.599
 Some Christians think

00:15:02.599 --> 00:15:03.719
 that this is just

00:15:03.719 --> 00:15:04.539
 one harvest,

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:05.259
 a judgment

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:06.819
 of putting people

00:15:06.819 --> 00:15:08.039
 into the winepress

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.319
 of God's wrath.

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.079
 Others, like myself,

00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:11.959
 believe there's

00:15:11.959 --> 00:15:13.019
 two different harvests

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:13.579
 going on,

00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:14.299
 and I'm going to make

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:14.979
 that case for you

00:15:14.979 --> 00:15:15.439
 right now.

00:15:17.319 --> 00:15:18.919
 In verses 15 and 16,

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:20.059
 we see the first harvest.

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:22.639
 In verses 17 through 20,

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.279
 we see the second harvest.

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.860
 I want to help you

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.460
 see the difference

00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:28.460
 in terms of the reaper,

00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:29.319
 the crop,

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.340
 and the destination.

00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:33.500
 In verses,

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:34.740
 in verse 15,

00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:36.899
 you can't help but see,

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:40.199
 verse 16, excuse me,

00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:41.019
 that the reaper

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:44.279
 is the son of man.

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:47.059
 Jesus.

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:50.119
 There's this angel

00:15:50.119 --> 00:15:50.959
 that tells him

00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:52.259
 to put in his sickle

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:53.059
 to reap,

00:15:53.199 --> 00:15:54.239
 for the hour to reap

00:15:54.239 --> 00:15:54.919
 has come.

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:56.439
 So he,

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:57.919
 the son of man

00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:59.039
 who sat on the cloud,

00:15:59.500 --> 00:16:00.359
 swung his sickle

00:16:00.359 --> 00:16:01.279
 across the earth,

00:16:01.699 --> 00:16:02.599
 and the earth

00:16:02.599 --> 00:16:03.559
 was reaped.

00:16:03.939 --> 00:16:04.559
 Now, if you look

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:05.799
 at verse 17,

00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:07.019
 then another angel

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:07.959
 came out of the temple

00:16:07.959 --> 00:16:08.399
 in heaven,

00:16:08.579 --> 00:16:09.639
 and he too had

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.539
 a sharp sickle.

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:11.359
 Verse 18,

00:16:11.459 --> 00:16:12.059
 another angel

00:16:12.059 --> 00:16:13.059
 comes out and tells him

00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:14.359
 to put in your sickle.

00:16:14.439 --> 00:16:15.319
 Verse 19,

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:16.340
 so the angel

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.640
 swung his sickle

00:16:17.640 --> 00:16:18.379
 across the earth

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:18.760
 and gathered

00:16:18.760 --> 00:16:19.460
 the grape harvest.

00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:21.240
 We've got two different

00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:21.680
 reapers,

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:22.900
 two different harvests.

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:28.320
 We've got two

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.200
 different crops.

00:16:31.060 --> 00:16:31.960
 Did you notice

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:34.260
 in verse 15,

00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:36.280
 we read this,

00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:38.340
 the angel telling

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:39.260
 the son of man,

00:16:39.380 --> 00:16:40.100
 put in your sickle

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:40.440
 and reap,

00:16:40.540 --> 00:16:41.440
 for the hour to reap

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:41.900
 has come,

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.600
 for the harvest

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.180
 of the earth

00:16:43.180 --> 00:16:44.020
 is fully ripe.

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:44.980
 You see those words

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:45.579
 fully ripe?

00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:46.879
 The Greek word

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.600
 underneath that

00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.319
 literally means

00:16:48.319 --> 00:16:49.379
 to ripen

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:50.500
 until dry

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:51.399
 in the ear.

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.620
 Speaking of a grain

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.259
 harvest,

00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:55.639
 of wheat.

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:57.899
 And if you flip

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:58.980
 down to chapter 18,

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:00.799
 we read this angel

00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:02.220
 from the altar

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:03.279
 is telling this other

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.299
 angel with the sickle,

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.279
 put in your sickle

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.220
 and gather the clusters

00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:07.279
 from the vine of the earth,

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.339
 for its grapes

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:09.139
 are ripe.

00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:11.200
 That Greek word

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.720
 for ripe

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.759
 actually occurs

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.940
 only here in the New Testament

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:15.000
 and what it means

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.259
 is to come

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:17.700
 to its full prime.

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:18.740
 Let's like plump

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:19.160
 and ripe.

00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.220
 It's the very opposite

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:23.940
 of being dried

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.539
 in the ear.

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:28.099
 Two different crops.

00:17:29.099 --> 00:17:30.160
 We've got grain,

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.319
 we've got grapes.

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:35.980
 The grain represents

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:38.079
 those who belong

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.720
 to the lamb.

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.240
 the grapes represents

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.039
 those who have

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:44.640
 spurned the lamb.

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:49.799
 Destination.

00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:52.620
 In verses 15 and 16,

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:54.000
 you don't read anything

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.339
 about where this

00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:56.900
 grain harvest goes.

00:17:58.579 --> 00:17:59.480
 But it's already

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:00.059
 been referenced.

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:02.180
 Look at 1414.

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:05.039
 those who are singing

00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:06.180
 around the lamb,

00:18:07.120 --> 00:18:07.840
 they are the

00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:09.560
 first fruits

00:18:09.560 --> 00:18:10.560
 of God

00:18:10.560 --> 00:18:11.580
 and the lamb.

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.820
 They are the initial

00:18:12.820 --> 00:18:13.620
 harvest

00:18:13.620 --> 00:18:15.539
 of God,

00:18:15.620 --> 00:18:16.240
 of the lamb.

00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:18.840
 They are the ones

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:19.220
 in heaven

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.299
 singing to the lamb.

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:25.240
 The second harvest,

00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.900
 we read of their destination.

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:31.380
 So the angel

00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:32.100
 swung his sickle

00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:32.800
 across the earth

00:18:32.800 --> 00:18:33.180
 and gathered

00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:33.880
 the grape harvest

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:34.360
 of the earth

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:34.840
 and threw it

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:35.400
 into the great

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:35.880
 winepress

00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:36.360
 of the wrath

00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:36.759
 of God.

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.720
 And the winepress

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.340
 was trodden

00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:40.180
 outside the city

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:41.960
 and blood flowed

00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:42.780
 with the winepress

00:18:42.780 --> 00:18:43.660
 as high as

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.400
 a horse's bridle.

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:46.400
 That's what goes

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:47.660
 around a horse's head.

00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:48.920
 Five,

00:18:49.019 --> 00:18:49.519
 six feet

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:54.460
 for a 1600 stadia.

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:58.019
 that's 184 miles.

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:00.640
 Lake Michigan

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:01.259
 is about

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:03.500
 118 miles wide.

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:05.640
 Gives you a sense

00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:06.240
 of volume.

00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.840
 The final destination

00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:12.819
 for those

00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:13.819
 of the grape harvest

00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:15.360
 is the winepress

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:16.380
 of the wrath

00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:17.000
 of God.

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.579
 What will happen

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:22.840
 when the Son of Man

00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:23.539
 comes?

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.779
 He's going

00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:26.200
 to harvest

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.740
 the earth.

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:29.299
 He is going

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:31.319
 to sweep

00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:32.660
 His sickle

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:33.660
 across the earth

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:34.720
 and gather

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.799
 unto Himself

00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.980
 all those

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:37.519
 who've called

00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:38.420
 upon His name.

00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:39.440
 All those

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.019
 written in the

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.880
 Lamb's book of life

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.759
 before the foundation

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.299
 of the world.

00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:43.360
 All those

00:19:43.360 --> 00:19:44.000
 who've endured

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.900
 to the very end

00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:46.799
 for the glory

00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:47.720
 of His name.

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.620
 That's who

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:49.259
 He's reaping.

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:50.140
 They're the ones

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:50.860
 that are singing

00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:52.000
 around the throne

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.500
 of the Lamb.

00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:52.940
 The Lamb

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:55.779
 and the second

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:56.559
 harvest

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.600
 the harvest

00:19:58.600 --> 00:19:59.120
 of grapes

00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:00.019
 are all those

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:01.039
 who opposed

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.720
 the Lamb.

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:03.000
 All those

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.480
 who follow

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:04.539
 after the beast.

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:05.680
 All those

00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:06.140
 who are giving

00:20:06.140 --> 00:20:06.799
 allegiance to

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.160
 something

00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:08.000
 anything but

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.500
 the Lamb.

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:10.700
 Even themselves.

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.079
 Two harvests

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:16.660
 two judgments

00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:17.920
 two reapers

00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:18.539
 two crops

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:19.400
 two destinations.

00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:21.660
 what will happen

00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:22.180
 when the Son

00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:22.860
 of Man comes?

00:20:24.560 --> 00:20:25.180
 The earth

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.900
 will be judged.

00:20:34.060 --> 00:20:34.740
 When you

00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:35.720
 start seeing

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.620
 God's wrath

00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:38.380
 show up

00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:40.220
 what does that

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:40.780
 do to you?

00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:45.060
 I'm going to

00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:45.720
 come back to that

00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:46.220
 in a second.

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:48.120
 but let me

00:20:48.120 --> 00:20:48.480
 just make

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.100
 two points

00:20:49.100 --> 00:20:49.799
 in application

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.480
 of this

00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:50.940
 harvest.

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:54.420
 Jesus

00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:54.980
 coming

00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:56.539
 and harvesting

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:57.220
 His own

00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:58.400
 is good news

00:20:58.400 --> 00:20:59.279
 for suffering

00:20:59.279 --> 00:20:59.960
 saints.

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:01.420
 It's good news

00:21:01.420 --> 00:21:01.860
 because

00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:02.360
 A.

00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:02.860
 it tells you

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.180
 Jesus

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:04.079
 is coming.

00:21:05.860 --> 00:21:06.480
 Second

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.299
 He knows

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:08.720
 His own.

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:10.640
 He's coming

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:11.259
 for us.

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:13.500
 And what

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:14.039
 this also

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:14.940
 does for us

00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:16.019
 it helps

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:16.759
 us to remember

00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:18.039
 that vengeance

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.660
 belongs

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:21.000
 to the

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:21.440
 Lord.

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:23.720
 He will

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:24.819
 carry out

00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:25.960
 His justice

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:27.240
 on His

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:27.819
 time.

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:30.420
 We can

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:30.859
 trust Him

00:21:30.859 --> 00:21:31.299
 for that.

00:21:32.379 --> 00:21:33.039
 If you're

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.559
 catching hate

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.019
 for being a

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:34.519
 follower of

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:35.359
 Jesus and

00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:35.859
 you want

00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:36.879
 to fight

00:21:36.879 --> 00:21:37.539
 back

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:39.759
 and trust

00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:40.240
 it to the

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:40.519
 Lord.

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.900
 He's coming.

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:43.900
 He's coming

00:21:43.900 --> 00:21:44.319
 for His

00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:44.660
 saints.

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:46.660
 It's good news

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:47.200
 for suffering

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:47.599
 saints

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.359
 and it's a

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:50.079
 wake up call

00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:50.619
 for those

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:51.279
 who are

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:52.579
 maybe adrift

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:53.779
 maybe asleep

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:54.299
 you're hitting

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:54.839
 the snooze

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.160
 button

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.079
 you don't

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.559
 really care

00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:57.220
 about Jesus

00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:57.879
 you may

00:21:57.879 --> 00:21:58.440
 profess

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:58.940
 Jesus

00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.460
 but what

00:21:59.460 --> 00:21:59.700
 you're

00:21:59.700 --> 00:22:00.240
 practicing

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.379
 is opposed

00:22:01.379 --> 00:22:01.920
 to Jesus

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.660
 this is

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:03.059
 your wake

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:03.460
 up call.

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:05.859
 Judgment

00:22:05.859 --> 00:22:06.359
 is coming.

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:10.419
 this corresponds

00:22:10.419 --> 00:22:11.399
 with Jesus

00:22:11.399 --> 00:22:12.019
 teaching in

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.779
 Matthew 13

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.500
 of the

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:14.119
 parable of

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:14.500
 the wheat

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.199
 in the weeds.

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:16.339
 He explains

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:17.219
 that parable

00:22:17.219 --> 00:22:17.939
 in verses

00:22:17.939 --> 00:22:19.059
 36 and

00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:19.919
 forward and

00:22:19.919 --> 00:22:20.579
 what he says

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:21.619
 is at the

00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:22.439
 end of the

00:22:22.439 --> 00:22:23.259
 age there

00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:23.679
 will be a

00:22:23.679 --> 00:22:24.359
 great harvest

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:25.740
 that separates

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:26.699
 the sons of

00:22:26.699 --> 00:22:27.119
 the kingdom

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.019
 from the

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:28.740
 sons of

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:29.139
 the evil

00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:29.919
 one and

00:22:29.919 --> 00:22:30.199
 that is

00:22:30.199 --> 00:22:31.039
 exactly what

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:31.539
 we're seeing

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:33.599
 here in

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:34.359
 chapter 14.

00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:36.079
 the sons of

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.419
 the kingdom

00:22:36.419 --> 00:22:36.799
 are the

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:37.799
 grain harvest

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.519
 and the

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:39.000
 sons of

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:39.279
 the evil

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:40.279
 one are

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.839
 the grape

00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:41.599
 harvest.

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:43.279
 It really

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.819
 does beg the

00:22:43.819 --> 00:22:44.199
 question

00:22:44.199 --> 00:22:45.979
 if Jesus

00:22:45.979 --> 00:22:46.459
 were to come

00:22:46.459 --> 00:22:46.879
 back this

00:22:46.879 --> 00:22:47.379
 afternoon

00:22:47.379 --> 00:22:50.099
 what harvest

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:51.139
 would you be

00:22:51.139 --> 00:22:51.859
 gathered in?

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:53.419
 Would you be

00:22:53.419 --> 00:22:54.019
 gathered in the

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.740
 grain harvest

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:55.859
 or would you

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.519
 be gathered in

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:56.879
 the grape

00:22:56.879 --> 00:22:57.359
 harvest?

00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:58.939
 The difference

00:22:58.939 --> 00:22:59.979
 is Jesus.

00:23:01.459 --> 00:23:02.179
 Do you

00:23:02.179 --> 00:23:02.819
 belong to

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:03.019
 him?

00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:05.659
 Has his

00:23:05.659 --> 00:23:07.000
 blood covered

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.919
 you and

00:23:07.919 --> 00:23:09.399
 satisfied God's

00:23:09.399 --> 00:23:09.719
 wrath?

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.579
 Have you

00:23:11.579 --> 00:23:12.740
 decided to

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.459
 follow Jesus?

00:23:14.719 --> 00:23:15.439
 If you

00:23:15.439 --> 00:23:17.379
 have grain

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:18.719
 harvest, if

00:23:18.719 --> 00:23:19.500
 you haven't

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:21.559
 grape harvest,

00:23:22.419 --> 00:23:23.319
 you're destined

00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:24.039
 for the wine

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:25.099
 press of God's

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:25.419
 wrath.

00:23:28.719 --> 00:23:29.699
 But I have

00:23:29.699 --> 00:23:30.219
 some good news

00:23:30.219 --> 00:23:30.619
 for you.

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:31.619
 God's

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:32.259
 wrath.

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:32.659
 But in

00:23:32.659 --> 00:23:33.079
 order to get

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.219
 there, I

00:23:34.219 --> 00:23:34.719
 got to answer

00:23:34.719 --> 00:23:35.119
 a really

00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:35.439
 difficult

00:23:35.439 --> 00:23:35.879
 question.

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.019
 What is

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.699
 God's wrath?

00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.079
 And why is

00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:42.919
 it so awful?

00:23:45.659 --> 00:23:46.579
 Why does it

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:47.359
 not seem

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:49.039
 fair?

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.559
 Why would

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.359
 God send

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:54.799
 and punish

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:56.000
 with everlasting

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.699
 torment an

00:23:57.699 --> 00:23:58.719
 image bearer

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.259
 of his?

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.600
 Why would

00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:00.920
 he do

00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:01.259
 that?

00:24:02.579 --> 00:24:03.319
 That doesn't

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:03.980
 sound loving,

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.440
 does it?

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.559
 When you

00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:10.140
 think about

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:11.480
 the wrath of

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.079
 God, when you

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:13.180
 hear about

00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:15.000
 people having

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:15.839
 to drink down

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:16.759
 to the dregs of

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.360
 the wrath of

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:18.039
 God's wine,

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:18.640
 when you hear

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:19.940
 about the

00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:21.259
 fire in the

00:24:21.259 --> 00:24:21.900
 sulfur that

00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:22.640
 will torment

00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.460
 people for

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.200
 everlasting

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.360
 days without

00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:27.340
 remission,

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:28.120
 when you

00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:28.759
 hear the

00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:29.580
 winepress of

00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:30.400
 God's wrath,

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.000
 where do

00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:32.480
 you go?

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:33.660
 Where do

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:33.680
 you go?

00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:38.920
 J.I.

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.500
 Packer in

00:24:39.500 --> 00:24:39.860
 his book

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.559
 Knowing God,

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.860
 chapter 15,

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.819
 the wrath

00:24:42.819 --> 00:24:43.340
 of God.

00:24:44.840 --> 00:24:45.880
 He defines

00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:46.460
 God's wrath

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:47.019
 as this.

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:47.940
 His,

00:24:48.380 --> 00:24:49.420
 God's right

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:50.940
 and necessary

00:24:50.940 --> 00:24:53.360
 reaction to

00:24:53.360 --> 00:24:55.160
 objective moral

00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:55.820
 evil.

00:24:57.120 --> 00:24:59.220
 God's right

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:01.380
 and necessary

00:25:01.380 --> 00:25:03.620
 reaction to

00:25:03.620 --> 00:25:04.940
 objective moral

00:25:04.940 --> 00:25:05.840
 evil, and

00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:06.720
 objective moral

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:07.480
 evil would

00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:08.820
 include idolatry,

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.300
 living for

00:25:11.300 --> 00:25:11.920
 anything but

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:12.279
 God.

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:17.539
 God's wrath

00:25:17.539 --> 00:25:18.319
 is a

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:18.960
 judicial

00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:20.220
 response

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:21.379
 to evil,

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:24.599
 because God

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.139
 is a just

00:25:25.139 --> 00:25:25.539
 God.

00:25:27.399 --> 00:25:28.440
 His wrath

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:28.899
 is an

00:25:28.899 --> 00:25:29.559
 outworking

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:30.180
 of his

00:25:30.180 --> 00:25:30.879
 justice,

00:25:31.980 --> 00:25:32.940
 and God's

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:33.619
 justice

00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:34.619
 is an

00:25:34.619 --> 00:25:35.379
 outworking

00:25:35.379 --> 00:25:36.460
 of his

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:37.039
 moral

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.619
 goodness.

00:25:38.859 --> 00:25:39.720
 God is

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:40.399
 good in

00:25:40.399 --> 00:25:40.960
 all that

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.500
 he does.

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:42.440
 His ways

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:43.180
 are good

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:44.099
 and righteous

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:44.819
 always.

00:25:47.099 --> 00:25:47.940
 So when you

00:25:47.940 --> 00:25:48.480
 walk in his

00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:48.920
 ways, you

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.660
 experience his

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:49.920
 goodness.

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:52.420
 But when you

00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:53.660
 cross God,

00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:54.880
 you cross

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.700
 his goodness,

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:56.900
 you cross

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:57.619
 his justice,

00:25:58.059 --> 00:25:58.779
 you provoke

00:25:58.779 --> 00:25:59.940
 his wrath.

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:01.140
 And so in

00:26:01.140 --> 00:26:02.180
 order for God

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:02.940
 to remain

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:04.140
 morally good,

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:06.160
 he must,

00:26:06.380 --> 00:26:06.640
 as an

00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:07.460
 exercise of

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:07.960
 justice,

00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:08.720
 pour out

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.319
 his wrath.

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:10.700
 God

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:12.799
 for God

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:13.419
 not to

00:26:13.419 --> 00:26:13.980
 do that,

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:15.000
 he would

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.819
 cease to

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.279
 be God.

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:19.779
 We can't

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.099
 make the

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.539
 mistake of

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:20.960
 our culture.

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:23.159
 I'm convinced

00:26:23.159 --> 00:26:23.579
 this is

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:24.919
 propaganda of

00:26:24.919 --> 00:26:25.240
 the false

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.599
 prophet.

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:28.139
 To think

00:26:28.139 --> 00:26:28.839
 that you can

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.519
 pick and

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:30.500
 choose the

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.179
 attributes of

00:26:31.179 --> 00:26:31.559
 God that

00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:32.359
 you want

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:32.939
 to fit

00:26:32.939 --> 00:26:33.819
 your lifestyle.

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:36.700
 God says,

00:26:36.899 --> 00:26:37.079
 no,

00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:39.579
 I am

00:26:39.579 --> 00:26:39.939
 holy,

00:26:40.139 --> 00:26:40.359
 I am

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:40.720
 just,

00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:41.139
 I am

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:41.460
 good,

00:26:41.939 --> 00:26:43.179
 and I

00:26:43.179 --> 00:26:43.700
 am watching

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.299
 all that

00:26:44.299 --> 00:26:44.579
 you are

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:44.839
 doing.

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.159
 The image

00:26:48.159 --> 00:26:48.500
 of a

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:49.119
 wine press

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:50.519
 is of

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:50.859
 this

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.759
 stoned

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:53.339
 in pit

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:54.539
 that has

00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:55.399
 channels

00:26:55.399 --> 00:26:56.279
 dug out

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:56.659
 in the

00:26:56.659 --> 00:26:57.259
 bottom of

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:57.439
 it.

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:58.220
 And so

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:59.200
 after a

00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.399
 grape harvest,

00:27:00.659 --> 00:27:01.139
 you put the

00:27:01.139 --> 00:27:01.799
 clusters of

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:02.720
 grapes into

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.000
 this stone

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.740
 lined vat,

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.559
 and then

00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:06.160
 you have

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.019
 people trod

00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:08.759
 the grapes.

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:10.660
 Their weight

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:11.400
 pressing down

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.039
 on the grapes

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.240
 squeezes out

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:13.880
 the juice.

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:14.579
 The juice

00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:15.299
 falls to the

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.200
 bottom of

00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:16.759
 the wine

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.480
 press and

00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:18.120
 then travels

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:18.740
 through those

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.420
 little channels

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:20.380
 out to the

00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:20.980
 bottom of

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:21.360
 the wine

00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:22.200
 press where

00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:22.600
 there is

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:22.940
 some kind

00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:23.339
 of hole

00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:23.960
 or spout,

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:24.480
 and it

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:24.860
 fills a

00:27:24.860 --> 00:27:25.180
 bucket,

00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:25.880
 wine skins,

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:26.240
 and from

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:26.519
 there you

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:27.059
 make wine.

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:29.700
 It's a

00:27:29.700 --> 00:27:30.039
 violent

00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.500
 picture.

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:32.980
 And the

00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:33.640
 reason why

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.120
 it's used

00:27:34.120 --> 00:27:34.539
 is because

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:35.000
 the juice

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.259
 that's

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:35.640
 produced

00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:36.480
 looks a

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:36.839
 lot like

00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:37.140
 blood.

00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:39.600
 It is

00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:40.500
 violent and

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:41.019
 it is

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:41.559
 gruesome.

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.079
 And if

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.440
 that weren't

00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:45.700
 enough,

00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:46.120
 if you read

00:27:46.120 --> 00:27:46.460
 ahead in

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:46.799
 your Bible

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.420
 to Revelation

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:48.299
 19.15,

00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:48.700
 what you

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.120
 read is

00:27:49.120 --> 00:27:49.759
 that the

00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:50.160
 returning

00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:51.380
 Christ is

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:52.059
 the very

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:53.059
 one who

00:27:53.059 --> 00:27:54.019
 is trotting

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:54.500
 on the

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:55.200
 fury of

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.140
 the wrath

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:56.620
 of the

00:27:56.620 --> 00:27:56.980
 wine

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.420
 press of

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:57.720
 God.

00:27:59.059 --> 00:28:00.019
 Jesus is

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.980
 the executor

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.539
 of God's

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:01.880
 wrath.

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:09.059
 what's

00:28:09.059 --> 00:28:09.400
 up with

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:09.779
 this?

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:16.000
 Does the

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.380
 punishment

00:28:16.380 --> 00:28:16.779
 fit the

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:17.039
 crime?

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:23.019
 Why is

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:23.339
 this so

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:23.640
 awful?

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.120
 Why is

00:28:24.120 --> 00:28:24.579
 it so

00:28:24.579 --> 00:28:25.100
 extreme?

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:27.940
 Well,

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.500
 instead of

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:28.960
 trying to

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.120
 say,

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.279
 well,

00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:29.480
 there's

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:29.740
 something

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:30.120
 wrong with

00:28:30.120 --> 00:28:30.240
 the

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:30.740
 understanding

00:28:30.740 --> 00:28:31.319
 of God,

00:28:31.620 --> 00:28:31.940
 how about

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.259
 we take

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:32.840
 this line?

00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:33.580
 There's

00:28:33.580 --> 00:28:33.860
 something

00:28:33.860 --> 00:28:34.340
 wrong with

00:28:34.340 --> 00:28:34.500
 our

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:35.180
 understanding

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:35.620
 of our

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:35.900
 sin.

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:37.600
 We

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:39.160
 fail to

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.740
 recognize

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.500
 the

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.220
 seriousness

00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:42.559
 of our

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:43.360
 offense

00:28:43.360 --> 00:28:44.600
 against

00:28:44.600 --> 00:28:45.759
 God.

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:47.720
 And as

00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:48.600
 we gather

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:49.400
 the

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:49.920
 seriousness

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.759
 of our

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:51.140
 sin

00:28:51.140 --> 00:28:51.860
 against

00:28:51.860 --> 00:28:52.160
 a

00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:52.799
 perfect,

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.840
 matchless,

00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.620
 priceless

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:58.439
 God,

00:28:58.439 --> 00:28:58.459
 God,

00:28:59.179 --> 00:28:59.859
 we're going

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:00.259
 to begin

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:01.179
 to understand

00:29:01.179 --> 00:29:02.519
 that this

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:03.079
 punishment

00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:04.519
 fits the

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:05.179
 crime of

00:29:05.179 --> 00:29:05.699
 rejecting

00:29:05.699 --> 00:29:06.059
 him.

00:29:08.239 --> 00:29:09.099
 This past

00:29:09.099 --> 00:29:09.479
 week,

00:29:10.639 --> 00:29:11.159
 Jenny and I

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:11.539
 brought our

00:29:11.539 --> 00:29:12.079
 younger son,

00:29:12.219 --> 00:29:12.379
 Mark,

00:29:12.419 --> 00:29:12.959
 to New York

00:29:12.959 --> 00:29:13.239
 City.

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:14.619
 And we did

00:29:14.619 --> 00:29:15.500
 it as a way

00:29:15.500 --> 00:29:16.019
 to honor

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:17.879
 Mark's

00:29:17.879 --> 00:29:18.419
 grandparents,

00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:18.879
 who would have

00:29:18.879 --> 00:29:19.179
 took him,

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:19.799
 but they

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.879
 died.

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:21.519
 And so we

00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.000
 brought him

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:22.699
 in to honor

00:29:22.699 --> 00:29:23.000
 them.

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:24.799
 We flew

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.079
 in on

00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:25.380
 Monday,

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:25.940
 and on

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.380
 that first

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:26.640
 day,

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:27.079
 we made

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:27.599
 a beeline

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:28.119
 to the

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:28.880
 Museum of

00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:29.519
 Modern Art.

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:30.440
 And we

00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:30.960
 cruised up

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.339
 to level

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.779
 five,

00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:32.460
 and on

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:33.119
 level five

00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:33.799
 are all

00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:33.980
 these

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.259
 different

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:34.880
 masterpieces.

00:29:35.099 --> 00:29:35.240
 This,

00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:35.819
 on level

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.240
 five,

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.000
 is where

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.720
 Van Gogh's

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:38.279
 Starry Night

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:38.619
 is.

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:39.920
 Beautiful.

00:29:41.380 --> 00:29:42.079
 But that's

00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:42.480
 not,

00:29:42.859 --> 00:29:44.240
 that's not

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:44.680
 the work of

00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:45.059
 art that

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:45.440
 stole the

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:45.839
 show from

00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:46.059
 me.

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.579
 The work

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:47.880
 of art

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:48.259
 that stole

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:48.599
 the show,

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:48.980
 you can put

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:49.460
 it up there,

00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:50.380
 was this

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:50.779
 piece.

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:53.139
 This is

00:29:53.139 --> 00:29:53.500
 a Monet,

00:29:54.700 --> 00:29:55.700
 water

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.139
 lilies.

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.559
 And if

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:57.819
 you've been

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.379
 to Chicago

00:29:58.379 --> 00:29:58.819
 and seen

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.200
 the water

00:29:59.200 --> 00:29:59.639
 lilies in

00:29:59.639 --> 00:30:00.139
 Chicago,

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.680
 Monet's

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:00.839
 work,

00:30:00.899 --> 00:30:01.039
 there's

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:01.500
 these little

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:01.920
 paintings.

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:03.819
 And what

00:30:03.819 --> 00:30:04.460
 this is,

00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:05.180
 is this

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:05.920
 panoramic,

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:06.319
 there are

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:06.720
 these like

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.740
 three,

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:08.519
 four by

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:09.899
 eight drywall

00:30:09.899 --> 00:30:11.000
 sized panels

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.240
 that are put

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.839
 end to end

00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:13.200
 together,

00:30:13.379 --> 00:30:13.879
 and so you

00:30:13.879 --> 00:30:14.539
 stand in front

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:14.799
 of it,

00:30:14.859 --> 00:30:15.279
 and it is

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.839
 overwhelming.

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.759
 It's

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:18.160
 beautiful.

00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:20.759
 Monet's

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.120
 use of

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:21.519
 color is

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:21.880
 lovely.

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.740
 Recently,

00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:25.220
 there was a

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:26.000
 Monet sold

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:27.400
 in 2016,

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.519
 it was a

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:29.060
 fraction of

00:30:29.060 --> 00:30:29.500
 the size

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:29.900
 of this

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:30.660
 for 81

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:31.400
 million dollars.

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:33.840
 So I'm

00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:34.480
 guessing that

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:35.080
 this Monet

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:35.680
 on level

00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.660
 five of

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.080
 the Museum

00:30:37.080 --> 00:30:37.519
 of Modern

00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:38.200
 Art in

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:38.580
 New York

00:30:38.580 --> 00:30:39.100
 City is

00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:39.700
 going for

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:40.640
 200,

00:30:40.840 --> 00:30:41.320
 250

00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:42.200
 million dollars,

00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:43.200
 a quarter

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.660
 of a billion

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.300
 dollars.

00:30:47.100 --> 00:30:47.600
 Unique,

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:48.719
 one-of-a-kind,

00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:49.579
 unmatched

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:49.939
 worth.

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:52.919
 Could you

00:30:52.919 --> 00:30:53.500
 imagine this?

00:30:55.139 --> 00:30:55.799
 Yours truly.

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:57.319
 I sneak a

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:58.099
 hot dog from

00:30:58.099 --> 00:30:58.399
 a street

00:30:58.399 --> 00:30:59.899
 vendor into

00:30:59.899 --> 00:31:00.759
 the Museum

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.240
 of Modern

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.539
 Art.

00:31:02.219 --> 00:31:02.919
 I'm walking

00:31:02.919 --> 00:31:03.319
 on level

00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:03.839
 five.

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.399
 I stand

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:04.699
 in front

00:31:04.699 --> 00:31:04.959
 of this

00:31:04.959 --> 00:31:05.240
 Monet,

00:31:05.439 --> 00:31:05.579
 and I'm

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:05.719
 like,

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:05.839
 yeah,

00:31:05.879 --> 00:31:06.119
 this is

00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:06.539
 pretty cool.

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:07.419
 I'm a

00:31:07.419 --> 00:31:07.779
 little hungry

00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:08.000
 though.

00:31:08.419 --> 00:31:08.740
 Pull out

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:09.439
 my hot dog,

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.139
 pull out

00:31:10.139 --> 00:31:10.659
 my ketchup

00:31:10.659 --> 00:31:11.099
 packet,

00:31:11.439 --> 00:31:12.099
 and start

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:12.699
 to try to

00:31:12.699 --> 00:31:13.119
 open my

00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:13.379
 ketchup

00:31:13.379 --> 00:31:13.759
 packet.

00:31:13.939 --> 00:31:14.240
 It's

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:14.839
 not opening.

00:31:15.219 --> 00:31:15.579
 So I

00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:15.899
 put my

00:31:15.899 --> 00:31:16.539
 hot dog in

00:31:16.539 --> 00:31:17.059
 my armpit

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:17.379
 to keep

00:31:17.379 --> 00:31:17.740
 it warm,

00:31:18.059 --> 00:31:19.240
 and then

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:19.819
 I start

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:20.779
 working the

00:31:20.779 --> 00:31:21.559
 ketchup packet

00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:22.399
 to see if I

00:31:22.399 --> 00:31:22.819
 can open it,

00:31:22.859 --> 00:31:23.480
 and I realize

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:24.059
 the only way

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:24.419
 that this is

00:31:24.419 --> 00:31:24.619
 going to

00:31:24.619 --> 00:31:24.799
 open,

00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:25.399
 if I squeeze

00:31:25.399 --> 00:31:25.819
 the bottom

00:31:25.819 --> 00:31:26.319
 real hard.

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:27.639
 I squeeze

00:31:27.639 --> 00:31:28.119
 the bottom

00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:28.599
 real hard

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:28.859
 while I'm

00:31:28.859 --> 00:31:29.299
 standing in

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:29.500
 front of

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:29.759
 the Monet,

00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:30.259
 and what

00:31:30.259 --> 00:31:30.740
 happens?

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:32.720
 Ketchup

00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.259
 all over

00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:33.579
 the Monet!

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:35.740
 Could you

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.159
 imagine that?

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.579
 I can

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:37.220
 imagine that!

00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:41.679
 The gallery

00:31:41.679 --> 00:31:42.539
 goes aghast.

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:42.919
 Woo!

00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:43.039
 Woo!

00:31:44.800 --> 00:31:45.600
 I pull

00:31:45.600 --> 00:31:45.900
 out,

00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:46.420
 I got it

00:31:46.420 --> 00:31:46.740
 with me,

00:31:47.320 --> 00:31:47.980
 I pull

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.400
 out my

00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:48.880
 cheapo

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:49.340
 vendor

00:31:49.340 --> 00:31:51.220
 napkin,

00:31:51.340 --> 00:31:51.680
 and I'm

00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:51.900
 like,

00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:52.560
 it's just

00:31:52.560 --> 00:31:52.900
 ketchup!

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:53.519
 It's no

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.140
 big deal!

00:31:58.759 --> 00:31:59.279
 And I

00:31:59.279 --> 00:31:59.580
 just make

00:31:59.580 --> 00:31:59.920
 it worse,

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:00.300
 don't I?

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:03.279
 The museum

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:04.240
 curator runs

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:04.460
 out,

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:05.380
 what are

00:32:05.380 --> 00:32:05.840
 you doing?

00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:07.860
 It's just

00:32:07.860 --> 00:32:08.200
 ketchup!

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:08.680
 It's a

00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:09.060
 five-cent

00:32:09.060 --> 00:32:09.480
 ketchup

00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:09.960
 pack!

00:32:11.560 --> 00:32:11.840
 And

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:13.680
 she says,

00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.140
 you have

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:15.700
 no idea.

00:32:17.060 --> 00:32:17.700
 You have

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:18.200
 no idea

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:18.600
 what you've

00:32:18.600 --> 00:32:18.860
 done to

00:32:18.860 --> 00:32:19.240
 that Monet.

00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:21.480
 That's a

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:21.980
 quarter of

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:22.380
 a billion

00:32:22.380 --> 00:32:22.940
 dollars,

00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:24.279
 and you

00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:24.960
 defaced it

00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:25.340
 with your

00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:26.000
 five-cent

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.440
 ketchup

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:26.960
 pack!

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:30.880
 God is

00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.380
 so much

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:32.080
 more valuable

00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:34.500
 than a

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:35.200
 Monet that

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:36.160
 was worth

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:36.740
 a quarter

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:37.140
 of a billion

00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:37.580
 dollars.

00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:39.400
 God is

00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:39.759
 one of a

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.080
 kind,

00:32:40.380 --> 00:32:40.820
 matchless

00:32:40.820 --> 00:32:41.180
 in his

00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:41.519
 value,

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:42.600
 unsurpassed

00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:42.839
 sin is

00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:43.179
 worth,

00:32:43.799 --> 00:32:44.299
 priceless

00:32:44.299 --> 00:32:45.179
 in his

00:32:45.179 --> 00:32:45.740
 manifold

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:46.459
 attributes

00:32:46.459 --> 00:32:46.799
 of

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:47.319
 perfection

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:47.740
 and

00:32:47.740 --> 00:32:48.139
 holiness.

00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:49.740
 And what

00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:50.419
 we do

00:32:50.419 --> 00:32:51.279
 is we

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.419
 pop our

00:32:52.419 --> 00:32:52.639
 little

00:32:52.639 --> 00:32:53.099
 ketchup

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:53.539
 packets

00:32:53.539 --> 00:32:54.099
 of sin

00:32:54.099 --> 00:32:55.199
 and deface

00:32:55.199 --> 00:32:56.059
 and defame

00:32:56.059 --> 00:32:56.639
 his

00:32:56.639 --> 00:32:57.279
 character.

00:32:58.219 --> 00:32:58.740
 And we

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.079
 say,

00:32:59.279 --> 00:32:59.779
 it's just

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:00.159
 ketchup!

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.839
 It's just

00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:02.139
 a little

00:33:02.139 --> 00:33:02.500
 sin!

00:33:04.339 --> 00:33:04.980
 Having

00:33:04.980 --> 00:33:05.919
 no idea

00:33:05.919 --> 00:33:07.159
 of the

00:33:07.159 --> 00:33:07.799
 matchless

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:08.459
 worth

00:33:08.459 --> 00:33:09.519
 and glory

00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:10.339
 of the

00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:10.680
 one

00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:11.460
 true

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:12.319
 God.

00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:14.240
 And in

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:14.500
 his

00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:14.940
 economy

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:15.180
 of

00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:15.599
 things,

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:17.039
 just

00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:17.839
 one

00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:18.359
 little

00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:18.839
 sin

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:19.579
 packet

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:20.920
 is

00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:22.180
 eternally

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:23.299
 treasonous

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:24.119
 in his

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:24.420
 sight.

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:26.460
 That's how

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:27.160
 glorious

00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:27.940
 he is.

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:32.259
 we fail

00:33:32.259 --> 00:33:33.019
 to recognize

00:33:33.019 --> 00:33:33.320
 the

00:33:33.320 --> 00:33:33.840
 seriousness

00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:35.420
 of our

00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:36.160
 offense

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.440
 to God.

00:33:37.539 --> 00:33:38.019
 But when

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:38.799
 we start

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:39.600
 to recognize

00:33:39.600 --> 00:33:41.019
 and we

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:41.539
 start to

00:33:41.539 --> 00:33:42.440
 understand

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.140
 God's

00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:45.080
 glorious

00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:46.039
 unmatched

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:46.600
 worth,

00:33:47.080 --> 00:33:47.580
 all of

00:33:47.580 --> 00:33:48.059
 who he

00:33:48.059 --> 00:33:48.720
 is in

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:48.980
 his

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.420
 holiness,

00:33:50.100 --> 00:33:50.320
 his

00:33:50.320 --> 00:33:51.320
 perfections,

00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:52.220
 his moral

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:53.140
 glory,

00:33:54.100 --> 00:33:54.779
 he does

00:33:54.779 --> 00:33:55.519
 nothing wrong.

00:33:56.480 --> 00:33:57.160
 He's always

00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:57.600
 right,

00:33:58.220 --> 00:33:58.680
 always

00:33:58.680 --> 00:33:59.080
 just.

00:33:59.340 --> 00:33:59.940
 When we

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:00.660
 start to

00:34:00.660 --> 00:34:01.140
 recognize

00:34:01.140 --> 00:34:02.220
 that and

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:02.720
 then we

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:03.140
 start to

00:34:03.140 --> 00:34:04.040
 see our

00:34:04.040 --> 00:34:05.000
 sin in

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:05.440
 light of

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:05.880
 that,

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.800
 now you're

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.119
 starting to

00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:10.440
 feel the

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:10.780
 weight of

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:13.019
 sin from

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:13.539
 God's

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:14.000
 perspective.

00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:22.920
 When we

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:23.380
 sin against

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:23.740
 God,

00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:25.900
 it is

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.680
 always

00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:27.460
 a capital

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:28.000
 offense.

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:30.159
 For the

00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:30.639
 wages of

00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:31.039
 sin is

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.440
 death.

00:34:36.839 --> 00:34:37.639
 When we

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.079
 sin against

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:38.480
 a holy

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:38.879
 eternal

00:34:38.879 --> 00:34:39.279
 God,

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:41.599
 there is

00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:42.519
 always a

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:42.919
 holy

00:34:42.919 --> 00:34:44.199
 eternal

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:45.379
 consequence

00:34:45.379 --> 00:34:46.919
 for that

00:34:46.919 --> 00:34:47.339
 sin.

00:34:48.779 --> 00:34:49.879
 If you

00:34:49.879 --> 00:34:50.739
 are

00:34:50.739 --> 00:34:51.599
 unwilling

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.059
 to

00:34:53.059 --> 00:34:53.759
 forsake

00:34:53.759 --> 00:34:54.319
 your

00:34:54.319 --> 00:34:54.940
 sin

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.699
 to

00:34:55.699 --> 00:34:56.099
 follow

00:34:56.099 --> 00:34:56.559
 Jesus,

00:34:57.719 --> 00:34:58.659
 you

00:34:58.659 --> 00:34:59.500
 are

00:34:59.500 --> 00:35:00.199
 forsaking

00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:00.819
 Jesus

00:35:00.819 --> 00:35:02.539
 in order

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:03.339
 to follow

00:35:03.339 --> 00:35:04.239
 after your

00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:04.639
 sin.

00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:05.779
 Did you

00:35:05.779 --> 00:35:06.179
 follow that?

00:35:07.179 --> 00:35:07.960
 If you're

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.699
 unwilling to

00:35:08.699 --> 00:35:09.259
 forsake your

00:35:09.259 --> 00:35:09.819
 sin to

00:35:09.819 --> 00:35:10.440
 follow Jesus,

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:11.659
 you are

00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:12.339
 forsaking

00:35:12.339 --> 00:35:13.179
 Jesus to

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:13.719
 follow after

00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:14.219
 your sin.

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:14.940
 You are

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:15.299
 saying,

00:35:15.779 --> 00:35:16.400
 my sin

00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:17.239
 is worth

00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:17.739
 more to

00:35:17.739 --> 00:35:18.619
 me than

00:35:18.619 --> 00:35:19.639
 your glory,

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:20.279
 Lord Jesus.

00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.840
 slap.

00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:25.040
 It's an

00:35:25.040 --> 00:35:25.460
 offense.

00:35:25.460 --> 00:35:25.599
 sacrifice.

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:31.980
 And one

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:32.159
 of the

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:32.519
 things that

00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:33.019
 you become

00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:33.720
 clear of

00:35:33.720 --> 00:35:34.199
 as you

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:34.599
 work your

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:34.900
 way to

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:35.179
 the book

00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:35.320
 of

00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:35.760
 Revelation

00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.420
 is that

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:39.119
 as God

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.940
 discloses

00:35:39.940 --> 00:35:40.760
 his wrath

00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:41.559
 and he

00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:42.119
 does that

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:43.199
 gradually,

00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:44.840
 incrementally,

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.740
 starting with

00:35:45.740 --> 00:35:46.380
 the seals

00:35:46.380 --> 00:35:47.500
 and one

00:35:47.500 --> 00:35:48.000
 quarter of

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.420
 the earth,

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:48.960
 then the

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:49.519
 trumpets

00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:50.440
 and into

00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:51.539
 one third

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:52.019
 of the

00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:52.360
 earth,

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:52.840
 and then

00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:53.240
 eventually

00:35:53.240 --> 00:35:54.260
 the bulls,

00:35:54.380 --> 00:35:54.679
 which will

00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:54.940
 hit in a

00:35:54.940 --> 00:35:55.360
 couple weeks,

00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:56.079
 all the

00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:56.320
 earth,

00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:56.780
 he pours

00:35:56.780 --> 00:35:57.199
 his wrath

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:57.639
 out on.

00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:58.639
 Every time

00:35:58.639 --> 00:35:59.199
 he pours

00:35:59.199 --> 00:35:59.659
 his wrath

00:35:59.659 --> 00:35:59.940
 out,

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:01.159
 you think

00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:01.579
 people are

00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:01.760
 going to

00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:02.099
 repent,

00:36:03.099 --> 00:36:03.800
 but they

00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:04.300
 don't.

00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:07.460
 You see

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:08.079
 it in

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:08.440
 Revelation

00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:08.920
 9,

00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:09.500
 verses 20

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:10.119
 through 21,

00:36:11.220 --> 00:36:11.599
 the six

00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:12.260
 trumpets,

00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:13.119
 the people

00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:13.760
 will not

00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:14.360
 repent.

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.400
 The fourth

00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:17.860
 bull,

00:36:18.179 --> 00:36:18.519
 16,

00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:18.960
 9,

00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:20.940
 scorching

00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:21.699
 with heat,

00:36:22.699 --> 00:36:23.500
 the people

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:25.300
 curse God,

00:36:25.460 --> 00:36:25.940
 and do

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:26.539
 not repent.

00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:27.940
 The fifth

00:36:27.940 --> 00:36:28.280
 bull,

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:28.679
 16,

00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:28.940
 10,

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:29.320
 11,

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:30.159
 it's

00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:30.980
 poured out,

00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:31.720
 the people

00:36:31.720 --> 00:36:32.800
 curse God

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:33.220
 and do

00:36:33.220 --> 00:36:33.740
 not repent.

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:34.780
 The seventh

00:36:34.780 --> 00:36:35.179
 bull,

00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:36.220
 poured out,

00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:37.280
 thrown down,

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:38.920
 the people

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:40.780
 don't like it

00:36:40.780 --> 00:36:42.440
 and they

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:43.300
 reject God,

00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:44.619
 they do not

00:36:44.619 --> 00:36:44.960
 repent.

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.679
 According to the

00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.320
 book of Revelation,

00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:49.120
 everyone who

00:36:49.120 --> 00:36:49.620
 will be thrown

00:36:49.620 --> 00:36:50.120
 into the wine

00:36:50.120 --> 00:36:50.840
 press of God's

00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:51.260
 wrath and

00:36:51.260 --> 00:36:52.100
 crushed by the

00:36:52.100 --> 00:36:52.740
 very feet of

00:36:52.740 --> 00:36:53.120
 Christ,

00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:54.240
 they themselves

00:36:54.240 --> 00:36:55.080
 refuse to

00:36:55.080 --> 00:36:55.960
 repent of

00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:56.760
 their sin and

00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:58.039
 give God his

00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:59.300
 due glory and

00:36:59.300 --> 00:37:00.140
 it's eternally

00:37:00.140 --> 00:37:00.960
 treasonous.

00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:05.140
 The punishment

00:37:05.140 --> 00:37:05.940
 fits the crime.

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:11.100
 The wine

00:37:11.100 --> 00:37:12.220
 press of God's

00:37:12.220 --> 00:37:15.800
 wrath is due

00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.940
 punishment for

00:37:17.940 --> 00:37:19.760
 rejecting God

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:21.840
 as one's

00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:22.300
 Lord and

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:22.580
 Savior.

00:37:26.240 --> 00:37:27.120
 These are hard

00:37:27.120 --> 00:37:27.460
 truths,

00:37:27.539 --> 00:37:27.880
 aren't they?

00:37:29.620 --> 00:37:30.100
 Well,

00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:30.820
 let's just

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:31.600
 bring it home

00:37:31.600 --> 00:37:32.019
 this way.

00:37:32.019 --> 00:37:36.159
 if you're a

00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:36.659
 Christian in

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:37.039
 the room,

00:37:39.900 --> 00:37:41.199
 we too

00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:42.739
 once

00:37:42.739 --> 00:37:44.880
 were under

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.000
 the wrath

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:46.780
 of God.

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:48.940
 We were

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:50.420
 under this

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:50.900
 wrath,

00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:52.679
 fully exposed

00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.280
 and then

00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:56.780
 we were

00:37:56.780 --> 00:37:57.320
 given eyes

00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:58.000
 to see

00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:59.699
 what the

00:37:59.699 --> 00:38:00.340
 Lord Jesus

00:38:00.340 --> 00:38:01.539
 came and

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:02.119
 did on our

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:03.659
 behalf on

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:04.360
 the cross

00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:05.059
 on that

00:38:05.059 --> 00:38:05.840
 first Friday.

00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:08.199
 As the

00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:09.019
 clouds gathered

00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:09.840
 and it

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:10.420
 got dark,

00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:11.279
 God poured

00:38:11.279 --> 00:38:11.820
 out his

00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:12.920
 wrath on

00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:13.360
 the Son

00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:14.519
 of Man in

00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:14.940
 order to

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:16.259
 ransom many

00:38:16.259 --> 00:38:18.599
 so that we

00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:19.340
 would not

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:20.279
 have to

00:38:20.279 --> 00:38:21.900
 bear this

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:22.500
 wrath

00:38:22.500 --> 00:38:23.259
 ourselves.

00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:27.759
 What is

00:38:27.759 --> 00:38:28.320
 this wrath?

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:29.179
 It's God's

00:38:29.179 --> 00:38:30.340
 judicial response

00:38:30.340 --> 00:38:30.820
 to moral

00:38:30.820 --> 00:38:31.180
 evil.

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:33.059
 Why is it

00:38:33.059 --> 00:38:34.780
 so awful?

00:38:35.780 --> 00:38:36.780
 It's because

00:38:36.780 --> 00:38:37.500
 it's against

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:38.480
 an eternal

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:39.400
 just God.

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:43.080
 You may not

00:38:43.080 --> 00:38:43.480
 like to

00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:44.019
 stomach it,

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:46.240
 but it's

00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:46.559
 right.

00:38:47.740 --> 00:38:48.780
 It's true.

00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:52.140
 Now,

00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:52.460
 what do we

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:52.700
 do in

00:38:52.700 --> 00:38:53.220
 response?

00:38:53.219 --> 00:38:56.000
 how do you

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:57.419
 respond to

00:38:57.419 --> 00:38:59.279
 this vision

00:38:59.279 --> 00:38:59.959
 of the

00:38:59.959 --> 00:39:00.439
 Lord Jesus

00:39:00.439 --> 00:39:00.980
 coming,

00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:01.619
 the Son of

00:39:01.619 --> 00:39:01.939
 Man,

00:39:02.059 --> 00:39:02.719
 and he is

00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:03.299
 going to

00:39:03.299 --> 00:39:04.679
 harvest for

00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:05.619
 himself his

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:05.959
 own,

00:39:06.219 --> 00:39:06.819
 and then

00:39:06.819 --> 00:39:07.699
 those who

00:39:07.699 --> 00:39:08.179
 have rejected

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:08.579
 him are

00:39:08.579 --> 00:39:09.039
 thrown into

00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:09.459
 the wine

00:39:09.459 --> 00:39:09.879
 press of

00:39:09.879 --> 00:39:10.219
 God's

00:39:10.219 --> 00:39:10.399
 wrath.

00:39:10.459 --> 00:39:10.739
 How do

00:39:10.739 --> 00:39:11.259
 you respond

00:39:11.259 --> 00:39:11.739
 to this?

00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:13.959
 Well,

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:14.439
 first is

00:39:14.439 --> 00:39:14.779
 this.

00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:16.279
 You've got to

00:39:16.279 --> 00:39:17.199
 realize that

00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:18.059
 we're actually

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:19.759
 one day

00:39:19.759 --> 00:39:21.859
 closer to

00:39:21.860 --> 00:39:22.440
 his coming,

00:39:23.260 --> 00:39:24.360
 one day

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:25.400
 closer to

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.039
 the great

00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:27.140
 and final

00:39:27.140 --> 00:39:27.900
 harvest.

00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:28.820
 And so,

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:30.200
 if you are

00:39:30.200 --> 00:39:30.820
 seeking to be

00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:31.420
 faithful to

00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:31.800
 Jesus,

00:39:32.460 --> 00:39:33.720
 you press

00:39:33.720 --> 00:39:34.460
 on.

00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:35.680
 Keep going.

00:39:36.300 --> 00:39:37.160
 Don't stop.

00:39:37.820 --> 00:39:38.720
 Don't compromise.

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:40.140
 Stay true.

00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:41.160
 Follow after

00:39:41.160 --> 00:39:41.820
 his ways.

00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:43.079
 Keep bearing

00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:44.059
 testimony to

00:39:44.059 --> 00:39:44.380
 him.

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:46.099
 Rejoice.

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:46.179
 Jesus,

00:39:46.819 --> 00:39:48.440
 give glory

00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:48.880
 to the

00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:49.319
 lamb for

00:39:49.319 --> 00:39:49.739
 what he's

00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:50.099
 done on

00:39:50.099 --> 00:39:50.719
 your behalf.

00:39:51.759 --> 00:39:52.039
 He's

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.519
 borne the

00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:53.000
 wrath of

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.440
 God for

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:53.659
 you.

00:39:53.779 --> 00:39:53.960
 You're

00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:54.960
 part of

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:55.679
 his grain

00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:56.159
 harvest,

00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:56.920
 and so

00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:57.699
 your words

00:39:57.699 --> 00:39:58.259
 should echo

00:39:58.259 --> 00:39:58.860
 the words

00:39:58.860 --> 00:39:59.759
 of Revelation

00:39:59.759 --> 00:40:00.819
 2220,

00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:02.500
 come Lord

00:40:02.500 --> 00:40:02.819
 Jesus,

00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:04.219
 come.

00:40:08.380 --> 00:40:09.339
 But if

00:40:09.339 --> 00:40:09.739
 you're not

00:40:09.739 --> 00:40:10.500
 pressing on,

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.900
 if you're

00:40:12.900 --> 00:40:13.420
 more like

00:40:13.420 --> 00:40:14.079
 snoozing,

00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.960
 this is

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:17.319
 your wake

00:40:17.319 --> 00:40:17.719
 up call.

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:22.739
 It's time

00:40:22.739 --> 00:40:23.340
 to repent.

00:40:26.340 --> 00:40:27.000
 It's time

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:27.480
 to turn

00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:28.239
 from living

00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:28.880
 for things

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:29.340
 that are not

00:40:29.340 --> 00:40:29.920
 worthy of

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.380
 your life

00:40:30.380 --> 00:40:30.940
 or worthy

00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:31.259
 of the

00:40:31.259 --> 00:40:31.500
 lamb.

00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:34.559
 If you're

00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:35.219
 unwilling to

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:35.799
 forsake your

00:40:35.799 --> 00:40:36.219
 sin to

00:40:36.219 --> 00:40:36.779
 follow Jesus,

00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:37.259
 you are

00:40:37.259 --> 00:40:37.719
 forsaking

00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:38.299
 Jesus to

00:40:38.299 --> 00:40:38.900
 follow your

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:39.159
 sin.

00:40:40.279 --> 00:40:41.179
 God's wrath

00:40:41.179 --> 00:40:41.920
 hangs over

00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:42.259
 you,

00:40:42.779 --> 00:40:43.500
 and your

00:40:43.500 --> 00:40:44.059
 only

00:40:44.059 --> 00:40:46.340
 hope is

00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:46.779
 the lamb

00:40:46.779 --> 00:40:47.119
 who was

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:47.480
 slain,

00:40:47.940 --> 00:40:49.279
 who bore

00:40:49.279 --> 00:40:49.679
 God's

00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:50.039
 wrath.

00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:51.579
 So turn

00:40:51.579 --> 00:40:52.320
 from that

00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:52.759
 sin,

00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:54.259
 turn from

00:40:54.259 --> 00:40:54.820
 whatever you're

00:40:54.820 --> 00:40:55.420
 living for,

00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:56.659
 and turn

00:40:56.659 --> 00:40:58.179
 to Jesus.

00:41:00.059 --> 00:41:00.659
 Today,

00:41:02.799 --> 00:41:03.599
 say,

00:41:03.659 --> 00:41:04.019
 I'll take

00:41:04.019 --> 00:41:04.199
 it.

00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:06.920
 Jesus,

00:41:07.059 --> 00:41:07.599
 I believe.

00:41:08.900 --> 00:41:09.659
 I'll follow

00:41:09.659 --> 00:41:10.139
 you all my

00:41:10.139 --> 00:41:10.519
 days.

00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:12.460
 thank you

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:13.679
 for paying

00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:15.800
 for me

00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:16.420
 what I

00:41:16.420 --> 00:41:16.880
 could never

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:18.119
 pay for

00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:18.559
 eternity.

00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:22.039
 Realize

00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:23.139
 we're one

00:41:23.139 --> 00:41:23.800
 day closer

00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:24.980
 to Christ's

00:41:24.980 --> 00:41:25.440
 coming in

00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:25.920
 that great

00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:26.380
 and final

00:41:26.380 --> 00:41:26.860
 harvest.

00:41:29.539 --> 00:41:30.420
 The second

00:41:30.420 --> 00:41:30.780
 thing

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:32.880
 is to

00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:33.699
 reset your

00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:34.380
 priorities

00:41:34.380 --> 00:41:35.219
 according to

00:41:35.219 --> 00:41:35.920
 God's plan.

00:41:37.500 --> 00:41:38.099
 Reset your

00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:38.639
 priorities.

00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:38.779
 priorities.

00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:41.179
 We don't

00:41:41.179 --> 00:41:41.519
 know the

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:41.980
 day or the

00:41:41.980 --> 00:41:42.659
 hour that

00:41:42.659 --> 00:41:43.139
 Jesus is

00:41:43.139 --> 00:41:43.339
 going to

00:41:43.339 --> 00:41:43.739
 come back.

00:41:43.859 --> 00:41:44.619
 Jesus himself

00:41:44.619 --> 00:41:45.019
 did not

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:45.179
 know.

00:41:45.259 --> 00:41:45.679
 That's why

00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:46.779
 an angel was

00:41:46.779 --> 00:41:47.279
 sent from

00:41:47.279 --> 00:41:47.679
 the temple

00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:48.359
 to tell him

00:41:48.359 --> 00:41:49.079
 now's the

00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:49.440
 time.

00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:49.539
 God,

00:41:50.539 --> 00:41:54.980
 even though

00:41:54.980 --> 00:41:55.480
 we don't

00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:55.940
 know the

00:41:55.940 --> 00:41:56.539
 exact day

00:41:56.539 --> 00:41:56.780
 or the

00:41:56.780 --> 00:41:57.019
 hour,

00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:57.900
 we can

00:41:57.900 --> 00:41:58.300
 be a

00:41:58.300 --> 00:41:59.639
 part of

00:41:59.639 --> 00:41:59.840
 the

00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:00.340
 harvest.

00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:05.320
 We

00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.119
 reset our

00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:07.920
 priorities

00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:08.900
 according to

00:42:08.900 --> 00:42:09.880
 this coming

00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:10.599
 return in

00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:10.960
 harvest.

00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:14.720
 We're

00:42:14.720 --> 00:42:15.579
 laborers in

00:42:15.579 --> 00:42:16.179
 the harvest

00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:16.559
 field.

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:19.000
 we are

00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:19.579
 planting

00:42:19.579 --> 00:42:20.219
 gospel

00:42:20.219 --> 00:42:20.880
 seeds.

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:23.840
 We are

00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:24.759
 about our

00:42:24.759 --> 00:42:25.380
 father's

00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:26.019
 business.

00:42:29.259 --> 00:42:30.059
 So here

00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:30.279
 are some

00:42:30.279 --> 00:42:30.699
 specific

00:42:30.699 --> 00:42:31.460
 steps you

00:42:31.460 --> 00:42:31.940
 can take

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:33.699
 to reset

00:42:33.699 --> 00:42:34.239
 your life

00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:34.799
 accordingly.

00:42:36.380 --> 00:42:37.380
 Go pray.

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:40.179
 Tomorrow

00:42:40.179 --> 00:42:40.599
 morning when

00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:40.940
 you wake

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:41.980
 up, open

00:42:41.980 --> 00:42:42.360
 your Bibles

00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:42.960
 to Revelation

00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:43.719
 chapter 5

00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:44.259
 verses 9

00:42:44.259 --> 00:42:44.739
 through 11

00:42:44.739 --> 00:42:46.239
 and pray

00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:46.459
 it.

00:42:48.099 --> 00:42:48.919
 Go pray.

00:42:50.259 --> 00:42:51.359
 Pray, our

00:42:51.359 --> 00:42:51.779
 father and

00:42:51.779 --> 00:42:52.019
 heart in

00:42:52.019 --> 00:42:52.239
 heaven,

00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:52.959
 hallowed be

00:42:52.959 --> 00:42:53.500
 your name.

00:42:55.259 --> 00:42:55.759
 Your will

00:42:55.759 --> 00:42:57.500
 be done in

00:42:57.500 --> 00:42:59.099
 my life on

00:42:59.099 --> 00:43:00.619
 earth, just

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:01.159
 as it is in

00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:01.359
 heaven.

00:43:02.500 --> 00:43:03.179
 Go pray.

00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:05.519
 Go invite.

00:43:05.899 --> 00:43:06.279
 Easter's

00:43:06.279 --> 00:43:06.559
 coming.

00:43:07.019 --> 00:43:07.479
 You've got all

00:43:07.479 --> 00:43:07.979
 sorts of people

00:43:07.979 --> 00:43:08.479
 in your life.

00:43:09.359 --> 00:43:09.799
 Say, hey, what

00:43:09.799 --> 00:43:10.019
 are you doing

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:10.419
 for Easter?

00:43:10.799 --> 00:43:11.239
 They're like, I

00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:11.539
 don't know.

00:43:12.439 --> 00:43:13.059
 Come with me.

00:43:13.059 --> 00:43:14.299
 We've got a

00:43:14.299 --> 00:43:14.759
 service, 10

00:43:14.759 --> 00:43:14.980
 a.m.

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:15.179
 in our

00:43:15.179 --> 00:43:15.460
 church.

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:16.139
 And they're

00:43:16.139 --> 00:43:16.900
 like, no, you're

00:43:16.900 --> 00:43:17.340
 a doofus.

00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:18.039
 You get to

00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:18.900
 say, okay.

00:43:22.460 --> 00:43:23.039
 Bless you.

00:43:25.259 --> 00:43:25.739
 Or they

00:43:25.739 --> 00:43:27.799
 might say, I'll

00:43:27.799 --> 00:43:27.980
 come.

00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:31.960
 Could be the

00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:32.199
 day of

00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:32.619
 salvation.

00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:35.799
 Go pray.

00:43:35.980 --> 00:43:36.480
 Go invite.

00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:37.679
 Go public.

00:43:38.940 --> 00:43:39.460
 Here's what I

00:43:39.460 --> 00:43:40.000
 mean by that.

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:41.820
 Start putting

00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:42.340
 something like

00:43:42.340 --> 00:43:43.239
 this in your

00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:44.099
 explanations to

00:43:44.099 --> 00:43:44.340
 people.

00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:45.460
 They're like, hey,

00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:45.920
 you want to look

00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:46.500
 at this porn

00:43:46.500 --> 00:43:47.079
 thing on my

00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:47.320
 phone?

00:43:47.619 --> 00:43:48.079
 You get to

00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:48.760
 say, you know

00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:49.119
 what, as a

00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:49.500
 follower of

00:43:49.500 --> 00:43:50.000
 Jesus, I

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:50.239
 don't want to

00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:50.440
 have anything

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:50.760
 to do with

00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:50.940
 that.

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:52.340
 And they're

00:43:52.340 --> 00:43:52.559
 going to be

00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:53.260
 like, oh,

00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:53.719
 you're one of

00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:53.960
 them.

00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:54.500
 You're like,

00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:55.059
 yeah?

00:43:57.719 --> 00:43:58.440
 Start going

00:43:58.440 --> 00:43:59.400
 public with

00:43:59.400 --> 00:43:59.840
 identifying

00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:00.559
 yourself with

00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:00.840
 Jesus.

00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:03.119
 Get into the

00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:03.519
 harvest.

00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:06.920
 Go throw a

00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:07.219
 party.

00:44:07.219 --> 00:44:09.939
 get to know

00:44:09.939 --> 00:44:10.319
 the people

00:44:10.319 --> 00:44:11.000
 around you.

00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:12.959
 Summer's

00:44:12.959 --> 00:44:13.239
 coming.

00:44:13.339 --> 00:44:13.599
 It's starting

00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:14.259
 to warm up.

00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:14.879
 Great

00:44:14.879 --> 00:44:15.459
 opportunity to

00:44:15.459 --> 00:44:15.919
 have people

00:44:15.919 --> 00:44:16.379
 over to

00:44:16.379 --> 00:44:16.859
 your home,

00:44:16.980 --> 00:44:17.579
 your apartment,

00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:18.559
 your mobile

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:19.519
 home, your

00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:21.000
 tent, wherever

00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:21.779
 you are.

00:44:22.179 --> 00:44:22.839
 Have people

00:44:22.839 --> 00:44:23.279
 over.

00:44:23.739 --> 00:44:24.159
 Get to know

00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:24.839
 their names.

00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:26.719
 Turn the soil

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:27.599
 over for the

00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:28.019
 harvest.

00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:31.239
 Revelation

00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:31.919
 11.

00:44:32.279 --> 00:44:33.000
 Go prophesy.

00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:35.459
 Go speak of

00:44:35.459 --> 00:44:36.099
 Jesus to

00:44:36.099 --> 00:44:36.379
 people.

00:44:37.140 --> 00:44:37.700
 Go tell

00:44:37.700 --> 00:44:38.460
 them of

00:44:38.460 --> 00:44:39.000
 who God

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:39.860
 is, of

00:44:39.860 --> 00:44:40.440
 that we

00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:41.240
 as man are

00:44:41.240 --> 00:44:41.599
 made in

00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:42.079
 his image,

00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:42.940
 and that we've

00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:43.740
 sinned against

00:44:43.740 --> 00:44:44.400
 him, and we

00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:45.039
 need help, and

00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:45.800
 that's why Jesus

00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:46.720
 came, and you

00:44:46.720 --> 00:44:47.519
 got to respond to

00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:48.119
 that message.

00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:49.280
 God, man,

00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:50.280
 Jesus, respond.

00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:52.260
 Go prophesy.

00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:56.500
 And one other

00:44:56.500 --> 00:44:57.599
 specific thing is,

00:44:58.700 --> 00:44:59.420
 on Friday, April

00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:00.740
 26, we're hosting

00:45:00.740 --> 00:45:02.000
 Secret Church

00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:02.260
 here.

00:45:02.260 --> 00:45:05.180
 it'd be a great

00:45:05.180 --> 00:45:06.160
 use of a Friday

00:45:06.160 --> 00:45:08.280
 night to come,

00:45:08.540 --> 00:45:09.500
 hear God's word,

00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:11.500
 preached full and

00:45:11.500 --> 00:45:13.300
 fast, pray

00:45:13.300 --> 00:45:15.340
 together, be

00:45:15.340 --> 00:45:15.960
 encouraged,

00:45:16.160 --> 00:45:16.560
 strengthened,

00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:18.420
 compelled to go

00:45:18.420 --> 00:45:19.060
 into the harvest

00:45:19.060 --> 00:45:19.380
 field.

00:45:21.580 --> 00:45:22.080
 Reset your

00:45:22.080 --> 00:45:22.920
 priorities according

00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:23.640
 to God's plan.

00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:24.139
 God's plan.

00:45:24.139 --> 00:45:24.639
 God's plan.

00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:25.219
 God's plan.

00:45:25.219 --> 00:45:26.659
 When you realize

00:45:26.659 --> 00:45:27.519
 we're one day

00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:28.839
 closer to Christ's

00:45:28.839 --> 00:45:29.599
 return in that

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.480
 great harvest, you've

00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:32.599
 got to reset your

00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:33.319
 priorities.

00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:35.980
 Jesus, be found

00:45:35.980 --> 00:45:36.720
 faithful when he

00:45:36.720 --> 00:45:37.059
 comes.

00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:40.640
 There's only two

00:45:40.640 --> 00:45:41.500
 people in the world

00:45:41.500 --> 00:45:42.260
 according to this

00:45:42.260 --> 00:45:42.700
 passage.

00:45:43.820 --> 00:45:44.940
 Those who will be in

00:45:44.940 --> 00:45:47.200
 the grain harvest, and

00:45:47.200 --> 00:45:48.180
 those who will be in

00:45:48.180 --> 00:45:48.880
 the grape harvest.

00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:53.100
 This is good news for

00:45:53.100 --> 00:45:53.940
 Christians who are

00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:55.380
 suffering on account of

00:45:55.380 --> 00:45:55.660
 Jesus.

00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.160
 Jesus is coming.

00:45:59.019 --> 00:46:00.120
 Vindication is coming.

00:46:01.580 --> 00:46:02.380
 And for those who have

00:46:02.380 --> 00:46:03.140
 fallen asleep,

00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:05.080
 to the great spiritual

00:46:05.080 --> 00:46:06.120
 realities that are

00:46:06.120 --> 00:46:09.059
 true, this is your

00:46:09.059 --> 00:46:09.660
 wake-up call.

00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:11.960
 And that's good news

00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:14.100
 too, because we

00:46:14.100 --> 00:46:14.780
 wouldn't want you to

00:46:14.780 --> 00:46:15.660
 be asleep when Jesus

00:46:15.660 --> 00:46:16.059
 comes.

00:46:17.460 --> 00:46:18.180
 Let's pray.

00:46:19.539 --> 00:46:20.519
 God in heaven, thank

00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:21.400
 you so much for your

00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:21.760
 word.

00:46:22.640 --> 00:46:23.860
 God, would you cause

00:46:23.860 --> 00:46:24.740
 your spirit to fall

00:46:24.740 --> 00:46:25.900
 upon us, your people,

00:46:26.640 --> 00:46:27.620
 that we would be a

00:46:27.620 --> 00:46:29.340
 people who are faithful

00:46:29.340 --> 00:46:30.980
 to you, who endure

00:46:30.980 --> 00:46:32.740
 unto the end, and who

00:46:32.739 --> 00:46:34.619
 prioritize our lives in

00:46:34.619 --> 00:46:35.339
 light of this great

00:46:35.339 --> 00:46:35.679
 harvest.

00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:38.119
 God, would you, over the

00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:40.559
 next six months, would

00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:42.859
 you save people, help us

00:46:42.859 --> 00:46:44.759
 to rescue people from the

00:46:44.759 --> 00:46:46.079
 fire, Jude 23.

00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:48.359
 Would you help us to be a

00:46:48.359 --> 00:46:49.679
 people that are speaking

00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:51.679
 boldly on your behalf, and

00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:52.799
 that more and more people,

00:46:52.939 --> 00:46:54.279
 God, in your great mercy and

00:46:54.279 --> 00:46:56.319
 kindness, would be

00:46:56.319 --> 00:46:58.359
 transferred from the grape

00:46:58.359 --> 00:47:00.159
 harvest to the grain harvest

00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:01.159
 harvest because of your

00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:01.679
 grace.

00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:04.099
 God, add to our numbers

00:47:04.099 --> 00:47:06.239
 for the glory of your name.

00:47:07.139 --> 00:47:07.440
 Amen.
