WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.060 We're going to begin our worship now singing in Psalm 93, Psalm number 93, and sing Psalms. 00:00:06.540 --> 00:00:12.880 That's on page 123 to the tune Argyle. We're going to sing the whole of this psalm. 00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:20.780 The Lord is King, His throne endures majestic in its height. The Lord is robed in majesty and armed 00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:26.960 with strength and might. The world is founded firm and sure, removed it cannot be. Your throne 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:33.140 is strong and you are God from all eternity. We're singing these verses in acknowledgement 00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:40.140 of God being our Lord and our King, sitting on His throne, presiding over all that takes 00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:48.299 place in His creation, the one to whom we are due to worship and also answerable to Him. 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.340 The Lord is King, His throne endures. We'll stand to sing. 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:26.939 The Lord is King, His throne endures majestic in its height. The Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength and 00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:53.140 strength and might. The Lord is founded firm and sure, removed it cannot be. Your throne is 00:01:53.140 --> 00:02:00.140 strong and new and strong. And you are God from all eternity. The seas, O Lord, have lifted up, 00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:17.139 the seas, O Lord, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice. The seas, O Lord, have lifted up, 00:02:17.139 --> 00:02:35.139 they lifted up their voice. The seas, O Lord, have lifted up their wings, and made a mighty noise. The Lord, have lifted up, 00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:43.799 And made a mighty noise 00:02:43.799 --> 00:02:53.939 The Lord enthroned on highest throne 00:02:53.939 --> 00:03:01.679 More powerful is He 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:11.879 And that met all the oceans waves 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:19.900 Are breakers of the sea 00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:30.300 Your royal statutes, Lord, stand firm 00:03:30.300

conscious that You have given us 00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:14.960 So many details in Your Word 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.399 That ought to guide our minds 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.519 As we come to worship You 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.500 And among these we have been singing, Lord, of Your majesty 00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:26.019 And of the way in which You preside over Your creation 00:04:26.019

00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:59.139 In Your great love for Your people 00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:01.560 Is a pattern that in itself 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:02.439 In its perfection 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.219 Is such a great challenge to us 00:06:05.219 --> 00:06:06.379 But we thank You 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:09.319 For Your grace that is promised to us each day 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.039 The grace,

--> 00:06:48.540 We ask, Lord, with bowed heads 00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:50.580 That we may know Your forgiveness 00:06:50.579 --> 00:06:52.800 Your acceptance of us 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.259 We

redeemed people 00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:20.939 We acknowledge that we fail daily to meet the standard 00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:22.900 That we find in Your Word 00:07:22.900 --> 00:07:27.420 Standard that is so matchlessly portrayed for us 00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:30.560 In the humanity of our Lord Himself 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.300 We bless You tonight, Lord 00:07:33.300 --> 00:07:36.000 That we have

that we may never come to 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.240 Even think reflectively or for a moment 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.620 That we are somehow sufficient in ourselves 00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:54.060 To deal with those things that belong to our need 00:07:54.060 --> 00:07:58.160 That belong to Your requirement of us 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.480 But we give thanks, Lord, that You are all that we require 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.420 That we have everything in You that we need 00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:07.259 In order to live acceptably before You 00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:11.379 So, bless to us, we

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.740 Even those of us who are adults 00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:46.700 We pray that You would help us, Lord 00:08:46.700 --> 00:08:48.940 To further enter into 00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:52.060 The expression of Your name 00:08:52.060 --> 00:08:53.960 In the world in which we live 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:55.700 By the life that we live 00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:56.920 By the way

day in itself as significant 00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:21.459 And for the way that we recognize 00:09:21.459 --> 00:09:23.919 That You set it aside from the very creation 00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.819 To be a day that was different 00:09:26.819 --> 00:09:28.759 To the other days of each week 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.919 And we thank You for the opportunities we have in it 00:09:31.919 -->

00:09:56.039 With Your own resurrection from the dead 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.039 For the way that we also see in it 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.700 An anticipation of the eternal rest 00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:03.320 That You have provided for Your people 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.820 That awaits them in heaven 00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:08.200 And we ask tonight anew 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.240 As we come to give our mind 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.139 To the great subject of resurrection 00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:15.560 And as we look towards that coming of the Lord 00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:17.659 And the resurrection of His people 00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:20.240 To be raised, to share with Him 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.059 And to be with Him 00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:23.259 In that glory that is promised 00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:24.199 We pray, O Lord 00:10:24.199 --> 00:10:26.379 That You would strengthen our faith 00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:28.539 And give us to resist, we pray 00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:31.100 The many temptations we find in the world 00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:32.620 To disbelieve these things 00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:35.860 Give us, Lord, in the midst of all the 00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:39.039 Different species of thought that we come across 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.100 That are contrary to Your Word 00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:44.740 That we may hold fast to Your own revealed Word 00:10:44.740 --> 00:10:47.039 That we may leave all its promises 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.879 All its warnings, all its threatenings 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:53.259 All the passages that come to comfort us, O Lord 00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:56.320 All the ones also that stir us up to remembrance 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.799 Of the tremendous and stupendous fact 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:01.120 Of Your judgment 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.480 We ask, O Lord, that we may be 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.620 All the more made wise unto salvation 00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:10.600 Bless, we pray, all the

Lord 00:12:41.540 --> 00:12:42.980 During this time 00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:44.960 We pray for those who mourn 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.040 Who continue to miss loved ones 00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:49.100 Again, Lord, we ask that You would 00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:50.800 Console and comfort their hearts 00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:53.660 And we do commend them to You once again 00:12:53.660 --> 00:12:55.780 Whether it be recent bereavement 00:12:55.780 --> 00:12:57.120 Or times in the past 00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.540 Lord, we know that bereavement 00:12:59.540 --> 00:13:03.100 Continues to be a painful experience for us 00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:04.860 But we thank You for the way 00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:05.980 In which Your own comfort 00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:07.700 Is extended to us 00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:08.600 Through Your Spirit 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.120 We ask, O Lord 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.159 That we may now continue 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.680 To wait upon You

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:29.220 We pray for him 00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:30.980 As You require us to do in Your Word 00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:32.519 We pray for himself 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:36.340 And we pray for his spouse, Camilla 00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:38.300 Bless them, Lord, we pray 00:13:38.300 --> 00:13:39.720 At this important juncture 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:41.620 Not only in their own lives 00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:42.899 But in the life of the nation 00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:45.180 And help us, Lord, we pray 00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:46.360 To bear them before You 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.560 And we pray that he will come 00:13:48.560 --> 00:13:49.980 To be an influence for good 00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:52.039 Especially for Your own cause 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:53.779 For the advance of Your kingdom 00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:56.000 That he will not be drawn aside 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.379 To substitute the Lord 00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:00.519 With any other alternative 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.419 To the Lord Jesus Christ 00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:04.639 As His King and His God 00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:06.860 And grant him, Lord, Your blessing 00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:09.220 As he awaits this important day 00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:11.139 And so go before us now 00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:12.899 We pray and bless all 00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:14.419 Who are in government over us 00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:16.360 In all parts of the land 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.139 Lord, in these difficult, tumultuous days 00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:21.580 We pray for Your guidance 00:14:21.580 --> 00:14:23.440 We pray for Your mercy 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:24.800 We pray for Your forgiveness 00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:26.740 For our many sins 00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:27.460 And the many ways 00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:28.580 In which we have departed 00:14:28.580 --> 00:14:30.100 From Your ways 00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:31.900 Return us, Lord, we pray 00:14:31.900 --> 00:14:32.520 How long? 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:34.139 How long will it be 00:14:34.139 --> 00:14:35.040 Before we come 00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:36.540 Once again as a nation 00:14:36.540 --> 00:14:37.360 To be characterized 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.460 By a love for Your truth 00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:41.560 Lord, hasten the day, we pray 00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:42.680 And come and hear 00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:43.740 The prayers of Your people 00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.480 As You hear them 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.240 Come and answer 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.720 And do so, Lord 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.680 In a way that would 00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:49.759 Exceed our very expectation 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.840 We pray all with the pardon 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.539 Of our sin 00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:53.939 In Jesus' name 00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:54.580 Amen 00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:59.939 Let's sing again to God's praise 00:14:59.939 --> 00:15:01.259 In Psalm 90 this time 00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.980 Psalm number 90 00:15:02.980 --> 00:15:05.039 That's in the Scottish Psalter 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.039 Page 350 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.960 Singing verses 13 to 17 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.559 The tune this time is Morvan 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.639 Turn yet again to us, O Lord 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.480 How long thus shall it be 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.220 Let it repent Thee now 00:15:19.220 --> 00:15:21.399 For those that servants are to Thee 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.820 O with Thy tender mercies, Lord 00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:25.139 As early satisfy 00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:28.440 So we rejoice shall all our days 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.740 And still be glad in Thee 00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:34.580 These verses 13 to the end of the Psalm 00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:35.840 To God's praise 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:49.440 Turn yet again to us, O Lord 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:55.720 How long thou shall it be 00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.460 Let it repent Thee now 00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:03.460 Let it repent Thee now 00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:13.460 For those that servants are to Thee 00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:23.460 O with Thy tender mercies, Lord 00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:25.460 As early satisfy 00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:26.460 As early satisfy 00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:30.460 As early satisfy 00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:41.460 So we rejoice shall all our days 00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:45.460 And still be glad in Thee 00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:47.460 According to us Thee 00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:51.460 Thee days have been Wherein we grief have had 00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:55.460 And years wherein we ill have had 00:16:55.460 --> 00:16:57.460 So do thou make us cry 00:16:57.460 --> 00:17:02.460 So do thou make us cry 00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:04.460 O let thy work and part 00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:09.460 O let thy work and part 00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:10.460 O let thy work and part 00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.460 And shall our days 00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:13.460 And still be glad in thee 00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:17.460 We hope that we grief have had 00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:18.460 And still be glad in thee 00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:28.460 So do thou make us cry 00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:40.460 And shall ourgens 00:17:40.460 --> 00:18:01.700 before, and show unto their children dear thy glory evermore. 00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:19.980 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be us upon, 00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:37.980 our handy words establish love, establish them each one. 00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:43.259 Now we're reading two passages of God's Word this evening. 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:47.799 Firstly, it's from the prophecy of Isaiah, chapter 25. 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:55.879 And we'll read the first 12 verses, or the whole chapter really, the 12 verses. 00:18:58.220 --> 00:19:04.799 And also 1 Corinthians 15, a few verses there which we'll turn to look at later in the service. 00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:08.279 First of all, Isaiah 25, reading from the beginning. 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.500 O Lord, you are my God, I will exalt you, I will praise your name, 00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:20.200 for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful, and sure. 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.819 For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin. 00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:28.400 The foreigner's palace is a city no more. 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.279 It will never be rebuilt. 00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:33.599 Therefore strong peoples will glorify you. 00:19:34.259 --> 00:19:36.619 Cities of ruthless nations will fear you. 00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:42.319 For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, 00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:46.319 a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. 00:19:46.919 --> 00:19:50.819 For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall, 00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:53.419 like heat in a dry place. 00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:58.779 You subdue the noise of the foreigners as heat by the shade of a cloud. 00:19:58.779 --> 00:20:02.299 So the song of the ruthless is put down. 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:08.460 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, 00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:15.139 a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. 00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:20.980 And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.059 the veil that is spread over all nations. 00:20:24.059 --> 00:20:31.759 He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.919 and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth. 00:20:36.460 --> 00:20:37.919 For the Lord has spoken. 00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:41.839 It will be said on that day, Behold, this is our God. 00:20:42.419 --> 00:20:44.759 We have waited for him that he might save us. 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:46.339 This is the Lord. 00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.359 We have waited for him. 00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:49.960 Let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:53.299 For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain, 00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:56.480 and Moab shall be trampled down in his place, 00:20:57.139 --> 00:20:59.500 as straw is trampled down in a dunghill. 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:02.480 And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it, 00:21:02.919 --> 00:21:05.359 as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim. 00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:08.759 But the Lord will lay low his pompous pride, 00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:11.180 together with the skill of his hands. 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:16.480 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down, 00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:21.259 lay low, and cast to the ground to the dust. 00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:25.500 We turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 15. 00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:29.660 We'll read verses 50 to 58. 00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:38.300 I tell you, this brother's flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.540 nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:44.300 Behold, I tell you a mystery. 00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:47.340 We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:51.220 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. 00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:53.400 For the trumpet will sound, 00:21:53.800 --> 00:21:57.060 and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. 00:21:57.059 --> 00:22:00.619 For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, 00:22:00.819 --> 00:22:03.679 and this mortal body must put on immortality. 00:22:04.379 --> 00:22:06.740 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:08.899 and the mortal puts on immortality, 00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:11.759 then shall come to pass the saying that is written, 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.019 Death is swallowed up in victory. 00:22:14.919 --> 00:22:16.519 O death, where is your victory? 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.679 O death, where is your sting? 00:22:19.419 --> 00:22:21.179 The sting of death is sin, 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.579 and the power of sin is the law. 00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:25.740 But thanks be to God, 00:22:26.199 --> 00:22:28.980 who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.339 Therefore, my beloved brothers, 00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:33.500 be steadfast, immovable, 00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:36.179 always abounding in the work of the Lord, 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.919 knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.559 We pray God will follow with his blessing, 00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:47.139 that reading from his word. 00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:51.279 Let's sing once again before we come back to 1 Corinthians 15. 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.220 This time it's Psalm 72. 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.879 Psalm 72 from St. Psalms, page 92, 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:00.700 verses 1 to 9. 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:02.119 The tune this time is Duke Street. 00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:05.879 Endow the King with justice, Lord, 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:08.000 the royal Son with righteousness. 00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:10.440 Your people, your afflicted ones, 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.539 he'll judge with truth and uprightness. 00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:15.200 The mountains will bring peace to them, 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:17.119 the hills the fruit of righteousness. 00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:19.899 He will defend and save the poor, 00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:23.959 and crush all those who them oppress. 00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:27.339 And so on, down as far as verse 9, 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:28.559 Psalm 72. 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.399 Endow the King with justice, Lord. 00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:53.960 The royal Son with righteousness. 00:23:53.960 --> 00:24:12.880 He'll judge with truth and uprightness. 00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:22.759 The mountains will bring peace to them, 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:30.740 The hills, the fruit of righteousness 00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:41.339 He will defend and save the poor 00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:50.440 And crush all those who then will rest 00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:58.700 As long as sun and moon endure 00:24:58.700 --> 00:25:08.900 So will he live time without end 00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:18.039 He'll be like showers on the air 00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:26.299 Like reaps that on moon fields descend 00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:36.039 The righteous then will blossom forth 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:45.700 Through earth is ever-lasting green 00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:55.139 Until the moon no longer shines 00:25:55.140 --> 00:26:03.400 Peace in abundance will remain 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:13.140 From sea to sea he will hold sway 00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:22.840 And from the river to earth's end 00:26:22.840 --> 00:26:31.400 His enemies will lead the dust 00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:41.100 And deserts rise, the knee will end 00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:46.179 Well, let's turn once more to 1 Corinthians 15 00:26:46.179 --> 00:26:48.799 The passage we read from verse 50 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:51.339 And tonight we're going to consider these verses 00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:53.539 Down as far as verse 57 00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:57.879 So that will leave us, God willing, one further study 00:26:57.879 --> 00:26:59.119 In this great chapter 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.199 Dealing with the resurrection 00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:04.940 When we come next time, God willing, to look at verse 58 00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:07.759 Which really sums up and concludes 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.120 Paul's treatment of the resurrection 00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:15.059 As a significant application of it 00:27:15.059 --> 00:27:16.940 As you find in verse 58 00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:20.600 So from verse 50, as we've read it through 00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:23.539 He's dealing here again with the resurrection 00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:26.539 But giving us some more details 00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:29.279 In addition to what we saw earlier 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:30.559 Throughout the chapter 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:35.019 Now one thing you notice here is very obvious 00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:37.059 And that he's talking here to brothers 00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:41.079 He's, of course, addressing the church in Corinth 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:42.859 But all the way through here 00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:46.839 He's really dealing with the resurrection of the Lord's people 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:50.519 And that's in keeping with what you find 00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:52.460 Mostly throughout Scripture 00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:56.079 Scripture has very little, actually, to do with 00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.860 The resurrection of the unsaved 00:27:58.860 --> 00:28:02.240 Because the overwhelming emphasis in the Bible 00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.120 Is on salvation 00:28:04.120 --> 00:28:07.019 On redemption from sin and from death 00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:10.779 As this passage itself is going to bring us through this evening 00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:14.640 And the emphasis on life and salvation 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:16.880 Means that that's really what predominates 00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:20.400 That's what really gets the major part of Paul's treatment 00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.380 Throughout this chapter, indeed 00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:28.260 There is, of course, going to be a resurrection of the unsaved as well 00:28:28.260 --> 00:28:31.720 But it will be very different to the resurrection 00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:33.900 Not in kind, but in result 00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:38.200 To the resurrection of God's redeemed and saved people 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.780 Jesus himself referred to that 00:28:40.780 --> 00:28:44.020 In chapter 5 of John's Gospel 00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:47.400 And at verse 29 there, 28-29 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.559 He says, where he taught 00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:55.500 That God the Father has given the Son authority to execute judgment 00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:57.139 Because He is the Son of Man 00:28:57.139 --> 00:28:58.639 Do not marvel at this 00:28:58.639 --> 00:29:02.660 For an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voice 00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:04.139 And come out 00:29:04.140 --> 00:29:07.220 Those who have done good to the resurrection of life 00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:11.380 And those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment 00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:14.700 Or to the resurrection of condemnation 00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:17.000 Which also is the meaning of the word there 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.220 So that's giving us a very definite truth 00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:23.980 That God will bring all from the grave 00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:25.660 Whoever they are 00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:27.160 Whenever they have lived 00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:29.380 All shall come out of the graves 00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:30.980 Of the voice of the Son of God 00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:35.339 And you put that into line with the emphasis 00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:37.619 In this chapter of the coming of Christ Himself 00:29:37.619 --> 00:29:40.619 1 Thessalonians 4 and other similar passages 00:29:40.619 --> 00:29:44.479 And so there is a resurrection of the unjust 00:29:44.479 --> 00:29:47.099 A resurrection of the unsaved as well 00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:48.759 We're not going to deal with that tonight 00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.679 It's part of the message of Scripture 00:29:51.679 --> 00:29:53.639 But as we say, the overwhelming emphasis 00:29:53.639 --> 00:29:56.539 Is on the resurrection of the saved 00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:57.339 Of God's people 00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:58.119 Why is that? 00:29:59.239 --> 00:30:04.239 Well, for one, that's what God has given the most emphasis to 00:30:04.239 --> 00:30:07.719 In His revelation of Himself to us 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.559 He's not a God who's willing that any should die 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:12.920 That any should perish 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.299 But that all should come to repentance 00:30:15.299 --> 00:30:19.839 It's so that we'll come to see 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:21.880 Our need of Jesus 00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.299 Our need of the salvation that's in Him 00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:28.720 Our need of the victory over sin and death 00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:31.140 That He has brought about and accomplished 00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:34.200 Through His own death and resurrection from the dead 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.279 That's why you find this overwhelming emphasis in Scripture 00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.440 In God's revelation of salvation to us 00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:42.799 So that we'll come to the Jesus 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:46.160 Who took our damnation to Himself 00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:50.399 Who took to Himself the death that we deserved for our sins 00:30:50.399 --> 00:30:53.500 And who therefore is presented to us as such 00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:55.700 As the Savior of His people 00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:59.059 And tonight as we go through this passage 00:30:59.059 --> 00:31:02.200 I trust that you and I will put to ourselves 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.980 Once again, our need of the Savior 00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:06.039 Even if you're saved 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.779 Even if you've been saved for many years 00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:10.480 I hope that through this passage tonight 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.259 We will all come to an appreciation 00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:14.200 Of the greatness of Christ 00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:15.579 Of our need of Christ 00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:17.839 Of the wonder of life in Him 00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:19.559 For people who don't deserve it 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:21.140 Such as we all are 00:31:21.140 --> 00:31:21.860 And that will come 00:31:21.860 --> 00:31:23.560 If we're not yet in Christ 00:31:23.560 --> 00:31:24.740 To really consider 00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:26.780 Even before we leave this place tonight 00:31:26.780 --> 00:31:28.920 That this is where you need to be found 00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:30.520 That this is where you want to be found 00:31:30.520 --> 00:31:32.040 That this is your concern 00:31:32.040 --> 00:31:33.360 And this is your desire 00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:35.040 To be found in Christ 00:31:35.040 --> 00:31:37.060 Not having a righteousness of your own 00:31:37.060 --> 00:31:38.600 So that you'll be like the apostle 00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:40.740 In his testimony in Philippians 3 00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:42.519 If by any means, he says 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:46.839 I would attain to the resurrection of the dead 00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:51.140 Tonight that's surely your desire 00:31:51.140 --> 00:31:52.240 My desire 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:55.720 That you will be part of those blessed ones 00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:59.660 Who will come to be raised at the coming of Christ 00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:00.440 To meet Him 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:03.500 Triumphing in His salvation 00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:08.500 And not cringing before His condemnation 00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:11.400 Two things I want to look at 00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:12.900 First of all, the necessity 00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:15.000 Of a great change 00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:17.299 As the passage brings it out for us 00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:19.880 The necessity of a great change 00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:21.980 Verses 50 to 52 00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:23.859 Where he says 00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:27.319 Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God 00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:30.519 Nor does the perishable inherit imperishable 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.460 And then secondly 00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:35.640 We'll look at the features of this great change 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:37.059 That God will bring about 00:32:37.059 --> 00:32:38.480 In the resurrection of His people 00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:40.680 Well, you'll find that in verses 53 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:42.700 Down to verse 57 00:32:42.700 --> 00:32:45.480 So the necessity of a great change 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:47.140 The change that will take place 00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:48.500 At the resurrection 00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:50.779 The change especially in our bodily condition 00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:52.360 And secondly 00:32:52.360 --> 00:32:55.099 The features of that great change 00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:56.460 What does it consist of? 00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:58.039 What is going to happen? 00:32:58.120 --> 00:33:00.599 And of course we do acknowledge 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.319 That while we're following the words of Scripture there 00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.860 There are still many aspects of this truth 00:33:05.859 --> 00:33:06.979 That really elude us 00:33:06.979 --> 00:33:09.659 And are beyond our capacity 00:33:09.659 --> 00:33:12.119 To put into such words 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:13.919 If you like as they deserve 00:33:13.919 --> 00:33:17.339 The necessity of a great change 00:33:17.339 --> 00:33:18.879 Well, look at what he says in verse 50 00:33:18.879 --> 00:33:20.159 I tell you this, brothers 00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:24.199 Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God 00:33:24.199 --> 00:33:28.139 Nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable 00:33:28.140 --> 00:33:30.340 Now what does he mean by 00:33:30.340 --> 00:33:34.560 Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God? 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:35.860 Well, by flesh and blood 00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:38.100 He's certainly still focusing on the body 00:33:38.100 --> 00:33:42.240 But it also includes our present bodily existence 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:43.259 In this world 00:33:43.259 --> 00:33:45.140 Even for us as Christians 00:33:45.140 --> 00:33:48.160 This present state of things 00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.340 This body in the present state of things 00:33:50.339 --> 00:33:52.579 Even though we are saved in Christ 00:33:52.579 --> 00:33:55.659 As we are as such prior to death 00:33:55.659 --> 00:33:58.379 We cannot inherit the kingdom of God 00:33:58.379 --> 00:34:00.379 The body we presently have 00:34:00.379 --> 00:34:04.259 The bodily life we presently live 00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:06.859 The body in which we live this life 00:34:06.859 --> 00:34:12.059 Is not itself capable of sustaining the fullness of life 00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:16.119 That is going to be the portion of God's people at the resurrection 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.880 So flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:24.039 And you can see it's expanded where he says 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:28.659 Nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable 00:34:28.659 --> 00:34:31.599 He used these words earlier, you recall as well 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:34.779 The perishable that's raised in verse 42 there 00:34:34.779 --> 00:34:36.519 To be imperishable 00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:37.559 What he means by that is 00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:41.440 The body that we require to inhabit glory, if you like 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:44.319 The life that we will have in glory 00:34:44.319 --> 00:34:45.400 This bodily life 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:48.940 It will still be a life in the body spiritually 00:34:48.940 --> 00:34:50.900 Going back to previous studies 00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:53.000 But what he's saying now is that 00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:57.680 We need a body that is above the reach of decay 00:34:57.680 --> 00:35:00.720 The body we have just now is going to decay 00:35:00.720 --> 00:35:02.039 It's decaying already 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:09.680 It's proceeding day by day towards returning to the dust 00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:13.940 And we cannot inherit the kingdom of God 00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:16.340 Therefore in that body it's perishable 00:35:16.340 --> 00:35:21.380 The perishable does not inherit the imperishable 00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:24.139 The necessity of resurrection 00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:26.720 The necessity of a great change 00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:29.920 Because what he's anticipating here as we'll go on in the study 00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:33.619 Is a life and a body in that life 00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:34.639 As well as our soul 00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:38.619 Remember that God has redeemed us as persons 00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:40.380 As living human beings 00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:42.920 And that means our body as well 00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:46.679 As our soul incorporated in the redemption that is in Christ 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.380 Is not going to leave our bodies out of that salvation 00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:54.440 Is not going to have salvation that is just purely spirit only 00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:55.679 Or soul only 00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.579 He has redeemed our persons 00:35:58.579 --> 00:36:00.960 Body and soul together 00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.440 And while the body returns to the dust 00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:05.480 And the soul goes 00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.340 To be with God in heaven for God's people 00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:11.820 In anticipation of this day 00:36:11.820 --> 00:36:14.659 When the imperishable 00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:18.000 Will characterize the body that's raised 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:19.579 From the dead 00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:22.500 We need to have 00:36:22.500 --> 00:36:25.699 A body that's set above 00:36:25.699 --> 00:36:27.519 The reach of death 00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.539 The reach of decay 00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:29.500 In other words 00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:31.719 A body that is suitable 00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:32.859 And qualified 00:36:32.859 --> 00:36:34.139 Under God 00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:36.339 For the fullness of life 00:36:36.339 --> 00:36:37.480 That heaven will be 00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.519 The fullness of life 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:41.099 That Christ has purchased 00:36:41.099 --> 00:36:42.960 For the perishable 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.899 Cannot inherit the imperishable 00:36:45.899 --> 00:36:47.099 Nor does flesh and blood 00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:48.980 Inherit the kingdom of God 00:36:48.980 --> 00:36:49.599 And he goes on 00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:51.439 From verse 51 00:36:51.439 --> 00:36:53.199 And 52 00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:54.619 To expand on that somewhat 00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:56.279 Behold I tell you a mystery 00:36:56.279 --> 00:36:57.779 We shall not all sleep 00:36:57.779 --> 00:36:59.960 But we shall all be changed 00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:01.339 In a moment 00:37:01.339 --> 00:37:02.599 In the twinkling of an eye 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:04.139 At the last trumpet 00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:05.460 For the trumpet will sound 00:37:05.460 --> 00:37:07.599 And the dead will be raised 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:08.599 Imperishable 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:10.579 And we shall be changed 00:37:10.579 --> 00:37:12.779 For this perishable body 00:37:12.779 --> 00:37:15.039 Must put on the imperishable 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:16.559 And this mortal body 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:19.019 Must put on immortality 00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:22.659 We shall not all sleep 00:37:22.659 --> 00:37:24.219 But we shall all be changed 00:37:24.219 --> 00:37:26.839 What is that setting before us? 00:37:27.359 --> 00:37:28.739 Well it means really that 00:37:28.739 --> 00:37:30.679 When the Lord returns 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:32.539 There will still be people 00:37:32.539 --> 00:37:34.179 And those of his own people 00:37:34.179 --> 00:37:35.480 Living in this world 00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.099 That have not died 00:37:37.099 --> 00:37:39.139 Whose bodies have not 00:37:39.139 --> 00:37:40.839 Returned to the dust 00:37:40.839 --> 00:37:41.939 In the grave 00:37:41.939 --> 00:37:44.259 We shall not all sleep 00:37:44.259 --> 00:37:45.399 Is what he means by that 00:37:45.399 --> 00:37:47.659 But we shall all be changed 00:37:47.659 --> 00:37:48.519 In a moment 00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:49.739 In the twinkling of an eye 00:37:49.739 --> 00:37:50.639 In other words 00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:51.159 He's saying 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:52.839 The kind of change 00:37:52.839 --> 00:37:53.839 That takes place 00:37:53.839 --> 00:37:54.959 In the resurrection 00:37:54.959 --> 00:37:56.659 Of the bodies of God's people 00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:58.159 Will take place 00:37:58.159 --> 00:37:58.879 In the bodies 00:37:58.879 --> 00:38:00.319 Of those who are still living 00:38:00.319 --> 00:38:01.979 When the Lord returns 00:38:01.979 --> 00:38:04.000 Because they are still 00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:05.319 Perishable 00:38:05.319 --> 00:38:07.059 And subject to death 00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:08.099 They need a different 00:38:08.099 --> 00:38:09.299 Kind of body 00:38:09.299 --> 00:38:10.899 Set above death 00:38:10.900 --> 00:38:12.160 And that's going to happen 00:38:12.160 --> 00:38:13.220 When the Lord returns 00:38:13.220 --> 00:38:14.440 Even for those 00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:15.539 Who have not died 00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:16.480 And their bodies 00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:17.660 Return to the dust 00:38:17.660 --> 00:38:18.220 In the grave 00:38:18.220 --> 00:38:19.720 They shall be changed 00:38:19.720 --> 00:38:21.280 We shall all be changed 00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:22.380 We all need to have 00:38:22.380 --> 00:38:23.220 That change 00:38:23.220 --> 00:38:24.559 By which we come 00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:25.680 To inherit bodily 00:38:25.680 --> 00:38:27.920 The kingdom of God 00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.320 And you see what he's saying 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:30.840 About it 00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:33.019 It will happen 00:38:33.019 --> 00:38:34.420 In a moment 00:38:34.420 --> 00:38:36.880 In the twinkling of an eye 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.000 At the last trumpet 00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:41.740 So from that 00:38:41.740 --> 00:38:43.800 You and I cannot say tonight 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.480 I've got plenty of time yet 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.280 I'm still relatively young 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:48.960 I can just relax 00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:50.039 And take my time 00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:51.539 And when I get nearer 00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:52.440 To my old age 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:53.460 Then I'll be able to 00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:54.599 Seriously deal with 00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:55.760 The issues of eternity 00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:56.680 No he's saying 00:38:56.680 --> 00:38:57.559 The Lord is coming 00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:58.679 And we shall be changed 00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:59.500 In an instant 00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:00.779 It's going to take place 00:39:00.779 --> 00:39:02.099 In the twinkling of an eye 00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:03.799 There's change in our bodies 00:39:03.799 --> 00:39:04.679 In a moment 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:05.860 In the twinkling of an eye 00:39:05.860 --> 00:39:07.360 At the last trumpet 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.039 How long does it take 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:11.199 For you to flick your eyelid 00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:12.860 To blink your eyes 00:39:12.860 --> 00:39:14.460 Well he's saying 00:39:14.460 --> 00:39:15.519 That's how quickly 00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:16.840 The change is going to come 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:18.559 When the Lord returns 00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.119 By his power 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:21.199 That's going to be 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:22.779 Effected immediately 00:39:22.779 --> 00:39:25.059 We shall all be changed 00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:25.920 In a moment 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:27.519 In the twinkling of an eye 00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:31.460 For he says 00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:31.960 The trumpet 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:33.639 Will sound 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:35.119 And the dead 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:35.759 Will be raised 00:39:35.759 --> 00:39:36.639 Imperishable 00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.259 And we shall be changed 00:39:39.259 --> 00:39:43.139 The trumpet 00:39:43.139 --> 00:39:44.840 Will sound 00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.139 That's an interesting phrase 00:39:46.139 --> 00:39:46.599 Isn't it 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:49.079 And there are two 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:50.259 Places in scripture 00:39:50.259 --> 00:39:51.639 Where this kind of 00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:53.159 Emphasis on the trumpet 00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:53.980 Being sounded 00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:55.219 Is before us 00:39:55.219 --> 00:39:56.199 In the word of God 00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:57.079 First is at 00:39:57.079 --> 00:39:58.419 Mount Sinai 00:39:58.419 --> 00:40:00.000 Where there was 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.939 An incredibly loud 00:40:01.939 --> 00:40:02.799 Blast 00:40:02.799 --> 00:40:03.859 Of trumpet 00:40:03.859 --> 00:40:05.519 Over which 00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:06.399 Moses himself 00:40:06.399 --> 00:40:06.799 Says 00:40:06.799 --> 00:40:07.899 As you read the 00:40:07.899 --> 00:40:09.359 Account in Hebrews 12 00:40:09.359 --> 00:40:10.879 I exceedingly 00:40:10.879 --> 00:40:12.399 Fear and quake 00:40:12.399 --> 00:40:13.980 Moses was a man 00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:15.179 Who was so near 00:40:15.179 --> 00:40:15.619 To God 00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:16.419 That he spoke with him 00:40:16.419 --> 00:40:17.319 Face to face 00:40:17.319 --> 00:40:18.819 There was nobody 00:40:18.819 --> 00:40:19.259 On earth 00:40:19.259 --> 00:40:19.679 That was 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:20.599 At that time 00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:21.539 At least as near 00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:22.079 To God 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:23.539 As familiar with God 00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:25.179 And knew the tremendous 00:40:25.179 --> 00:40:26.420 Majesty and greatness 00:40:26.420 --> 00:40:26.920 Of God 00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:28.059 The way Moses did 00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:29.199 And yet it's said 00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:29.679 Of him there 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.940 That this trumpet blast 00:40:30.940 --> 00:40:32.300 On Mount Sinai 00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:33.380 Which signaled 00:40:33.380 --> 00:40:34.719 The arrival of the Lord 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:35.920 Coming onto the mountain 00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:37.340 To set it on fire 00:40:37.340 --> 00:40:38.219 By his presence 00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:40.300 Gave Moses himself 00:40:40.300 --> 00:40:40.960 To fear 00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:41.679 And to quake 00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:43.219 It was such a tremendous 00:40:43.219 --> 00:40:44.920 Loud blast 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:46.079 You see this blast 00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:46.659 Of the trumpet 00:40:46.659 --> 00:40:47.679 It's not 00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:50.079 It's an unearthly trumpet 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:50.519 If you like 00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:51.199 It's not somebody 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:52.480 Taking a normal 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:53.420 Musical instrument 00:40:53.420 --> 00:40:54.199 Or even a hundred 00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:55.300 Of these musical 00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:56.300 Instruments trumpets 00:40:56.300 --> 00:40:58.219 This is a supernatural 00:40:58.219 --> 00:40:58.840 Trumpet 00:40:58.840 --> 00:40:59.400 This is something 00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:00.460 That comes from heaven 00:41:00.460 --> 00:41:02.280 This is an unearthly 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:03.159 Trumpet sound 00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:05.199 That awakens the dead 00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.659 That comes to announce 00:41:07.659 --> 00:41:09.259 The arrival of the king 00:41:09.259 --> 00:41:10.579 I'm sure 00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:11.500 God willing 00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:12.179 On Saturday 00:41:12.179 --> 00:41:14.079 There will be something 00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:14.860 Similar to that 00:41:14.860 --> 00:41:16.179 In human terms 00:41:16.179 --> 00:41:17.599 Very often the case 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:19.139 When the queen 00:41:19.139 --> 00:41:19.739 The late queen 00:41:19.739 --> 00:41:20.899 Was arriving at parliament 00:41:20.899 --> 00:41:21.500 Or wherever 00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:22.599 And this time 00:41:22.599 -->

the age 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:56.159 At the coming of Christ 00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:56.900 At the resurrection 00:41:56.900 --> 00:41:57.559 Of the dead 00:41:57.559 --> 00:41:58.619 For the trumpet

Inherit 00:47:47.839 --> 00:47:48.920 The kingdom 00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:49.359 Of God 00:47:49.359 --> 00:47:50.139 Without this 00:47:50.139 --> 00:47:50.639 Change 00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:51.359 In the resurrection 00:47:51.359 --> 00:47:52.900 Of the saved 00:47:52.900 --> 00:47:54.380 When he says here 00:47:54.380 --> 00:47:56.160 For this perishable 00:47:56.160 --> 00:47:56.780 Must put on 00:47:56.780 --> 00:47:57.740 The imperishable 00:47:57.740 --> 00:47:59.200 And this mortal 00:47:59.200 --> 00:48:00.200 Body must put on 00:48:00.200 --> 00:48:01.039 Immortality 00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:02.460 Then when the 00:48:02.460 --> 00:48:02.900 Perishable 00:48:02.900 --> 00:48:03.480 Puts on the 00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:04.280 Imperishable 00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:05.200 And the mortal 00:48:05.200 --> 00:48:06.320 Puts on immortality 00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.039 Then shall be 00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:08.700 Brought to pass 00:48:08.700 --> 00:48:09.099 The saying 00:48:09.099 --> 00:48:09.599 That is written 00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:10.360 Death is swallowed 00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:11.180 Up in victory 00:48:11.180 --> 00:48:12.480 O death 00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:13.519 Where is your victory 00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:14.860 O death 00:48:14.860 --> 00:48:15.820 Where is your sting 00:48:15.820 --> 00:48:16.400 Quoting from 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:17.300 Isaiah 25 00:48:17.300 --> 00:48:18.680 And also some 00:48:18.680 --> 00:48:19.460 Verses you find 00:48:19.460 --> 00:48:22.140 In Hosea chapter 13 00:48:22.140 --> 00:48:23.140 Combining them there 00:48:23.140 --> 00:48:24.160 Really together 00:48:24.160 --> 00:48:26.700 For this imperishable 00:48:26.700 --> 00:48:27.920 Must put on 00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:30.860 The imperishable 00:48:30.860 --> 00:48:31.519

00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:35.180 The must 00:48:35.180 --> 00:48:35.800 Is there again 00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:36.380 Emphasized 00:48:36.380 --> 00:48:37.740 It must be the case 00:48:37.740 --> 00:48:38.580 We cannot inherit 00:48:38.580 --> 00:48:39.700 The kingdom of God 00:48:39.700 --> 00:48:40.940 Without this change 00:48:40.940 --> 00:48:43.240 But then 00:48:43.240 --> 00:48:44.420 When this happens 00:48:44.420 --> 00:48:46.320 Then shall be brought 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:47.120 To pass the saying 00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:47.719 That is written 00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:49.259 Death is swallowed 00:48:49.259 --> 00:48:50.199 Up in victory 00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:52.739 And that word 00:48:52.739 --> 00:48:53.779 Then is important 00:48:53.779 --> 00:48:55.119 Because here is 00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:55.699 A prophecy 00:48:55.699 --> 00:48:57.179 That for thousands 00:48:57.179 --> 00:48:57.719 Of years 00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:58.719 Has been lying 00:48:58.719 --> 00:48:59.779 Waiting for it 00:48:59.779 --> 00:49:00.759 To be fulfilled 00:49:00.759 --> 00:49:02.279 The prophecy 00:49:02.279 --> 00:49:02.880 That the Lord 00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:03.980 Gave through Isaiah 00:49:03.980 --> 00:49:04.639 To the people 00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:06.039 In chapter 25 00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:07.719 As we have it 00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:08.480 Of his prophecy 00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:09.679 A prophecy 00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:11.159 Waiting for fulfillment 00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:12.219 For the day 00:49:12.219 --> 00:49:13.179 Of its accomplishment 00:49:13.179 --> 00:49:14.159 And it's 00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:15.179 The accomplishment 00:49:15.179 --> 00:49:15.679 Of it 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:16.559 At the coming 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:16.960 Of Christ 00:49:16.960 --> 00:49:18.559 Then shall be brought 00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:19.480 To pass the saying 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:19.940 That is written 00:49:19.940 --> 00:49:21.179 This is not fulfilled 00:49:21.179 --> 00:49:22.659 Once you leave this world 00:49:22.659 --> 00:49:23.320 As a Christian 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:24.400 And in your soul 00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:25.579 Enter into glory 00:49:25.579 --> 00:49:26.720 That's only part 00:49:26.720 --> 00:49:27.940 Of what is awaiting 00:49:27.940 --> 00:49:28.840 The Lord's people 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:30.380 This actually awaits 00:49:30.380 --> 00:49:32.139 The raising of your body 00:49:32.139 --> 00:49:33.960 So as to be with your soul 00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:35.679 Reunited to enter glory 00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:36.860 Forevermore 00:49:36.860 --> 00:49:38.320 Then shall be brought 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:39.220 To pass the saying 00:49:39.220 --> 00:49:40.179 That is written 00:49:40.179 --> 00:49:42.039 Death is swallowed up 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:42.519 In victory 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:43.840 Now in principle 00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:45.219 That's been accomplished 00:49:45.219 --> 00:49:46.119 By Jesus 00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:46.679 Of course 00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:48.019 In his own resurrection 00:49:48.019 --> 00:49:48.820 From the dead 00:49:48.820 --> 00:49:50.159 But as far as 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:51.719 God's people are concerned 00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:53.360 It's still awaiting 00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:54.539 In the future 00:49:54.539 --> 00:49:55.860 To be fulfilled 00:49:55.860 --> 00:49:57.460 When they are raised 00:49:57.460 --> 00:49:58.179 From the dead 00:49:58.179 --> 00:49:59.619 To be with Christ 00:49:59.619 --> 00:50:00.099 Forever 00:50:00.099 --> 00:50:04.780 Because that's going to mean 00:50:04.780 --> 00:50:06.219 Neither decay 00:50:06.219 --> 00:50:08.000 Nor death 00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:10.079 Shall ever again invade 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.179 Their human experience 00:50:12.179 --> 00:50:14.260 Their human life 00:50:14.260 --> 00:50:16.099 They're set above it 00:50:16.099 --> 00:50:17.340 They're imperishable 00:50:17.340 --> 00:50:18.340 They're immortal 00:50:18.340 --> 00:50:20.599 Death has no longer 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:21.679 Any possibility 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:23.000 Of invading 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:24.079 What they are 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:24.880 As raised 00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:26.780 Saved people in Christ 00:50:26.780 --> 00:50:27.699 What a great prospect 00:50:27.699 --> 00:50:28.820 That is 00:50:28.820 --> 00:50:30.920 And here is 00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:32.100 Paul saying 00:50:32.100 --> 00:50:32.420 That 00:50:32.420 --> 00:50:34.580 This 00:50:34.580 --> 00:50:35.820 For he says 00:50:35.820 --> 00:50:38.340 The sting of death 00:50:38.340 --> 00:50:38.900 Is sin 00:50:38.900 --> 00:50:40.740 The power of sin 00:50:40.740 --> 00:50:41.700 Is the law 00:50:41.700 --> 00:50:43.380 Thanks be to God 00:50:43.380 --> 00:50:44.380 Who gives us the victory 00:50:44.380 --> 00:50:46.200 Through our Lord Jesus Christ 00:50:46.200 --> 00:50:46.820 He's saying here 00:50:46.820 --> 00:50:49.300 The sting of death 00:50:49.300 --> 00:50:50.500 Is sin 00:50:50.500 --> 00:50:53.500 If you think of a scorpion 00:50:53.500 --> 00:50:54.180 Which seems to be 00:50:54.180 --> 00:50:55.000 The imagery there 00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:56.620 Scorpion that bears 00:50:56.620 --> 00:50:57.340 This poisonous 00:50:57.340 --> 00:50:58.700 Deadly sting

the sting 00:51:05.340 --> 00:51:05.920 Of death 00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:07.100 Sin is 00:51:07.100 --> 00:51:08.280 Here 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:09.360 Gives 00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:09.940 Death

00:51:48.019 He came to live 00:51:48.019 --> 00:51:48.920 A perfect life 00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:49.739 But to die 00:51:49.739 --> 00:51:50.960 This atoning death 00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.420 Sting
