WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:18.260 Dear God, I just pray that these words, talking about your timeline, that will encourage us and just show that everything is happening the way you want, Lord. 00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:19.480 Thank you. Amen. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:41.980 Just over three kilometers from our house sits one of the few remaining statues of Sir John A. MacDonald. 00:00:42.859 --> 00:00:48.939 Due to revisionist view of our first Prime Minister, most of his statues have been destroyed or put into storage. 00:00:49.379 --> 00:01:00.039 This view of history looks at his role in the Native school situation of the time and not of his accomplishments of uniting the country from coast to coast. 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:10.039 There's a lot of this type of historical revision that goes on with leaders from the past who don't fit today's politically correct narrative. 00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:16.739 There are many that want to change history so as to deny what happened yesterday. 00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:20.479 This is just as true for the history of the Bible. 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:28.560 From the substitution of evolution for the history of creation to questioning parts of Jewish history, 00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:34.759 the denial that David was a king to even questioning if Christ was a real person by some. 00:01:35.979 --> 00:01:42.379 Unfortunately, a lot of people that attend more progressive churches fall into this group. 00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:46.259 Not only do they want to allegorize everything in the Bible, 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.479 but when it comes to the future event, it makes little sense to them. 00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:56.920 Fortunately for us, Jesus, who is the Word of God, John 1.1, 00:01:57.340 --> 00:02:02.179 knew what he was talking about, inspiring men to write the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. 00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:13.480 For Christ, everything, everything is historical in a historical form since he sees the end from the beginning. 00:02:14.540 --> 00:02:16.300 God sees everything. 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.520 He's before all things and he is all things. 00:02:20.140 --> 00:02:24.040 Today I want to look at the six time periods described in the Bible 00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:28.719 and the significant events that mark the divide. 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.919 God is gracious to us that he tells us and warns us of past and future events 00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:41.759 with the aspiration that all people will come to a real faith in him 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.719 and not face eternal judgment. 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:52.939 27% of the Bible is prophetical, including the birth, life, and death of Jesus. 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.259 Much is still to occur in the world time frame. 00:02:57.259 --> 00:03:03.879 Starting with Genesis chapter 1, we have God declaring that he alone is responsible 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.500 for every physical thing that we experience in this world, 00:03:07.739 --> 00:03:11.459 from the ground and air to plants and animals and sun and moon. 00:03:11.939 --> 00:03:17.180 He claims to have placed the stars in the sky. 00:03:17.939 --> 00:03:23.879 Without the constellations, it would have been exceedingly hard to navigate long distances in the past. 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:30.939 Also, the change of location in the sky helps us track seasonal time frame. 00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:40.699 Another thing that's happened lately to verify the stars, 00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:47.259 does anyone remember or looked at and known about the James Webb telescope that's there? 00:03:47.259 --> 00:03:53.439 It's proven that the Big Bang Theory is bogus. 00:03:54.099 --> 00:03:55.000 I love that. 00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:09.399 You see way back that there should not be galaxies 10 times bigger than the Milky Way that are mature. 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:22.079 Anyways, with the fall of man, Eve being deceived by Satan, eating from the tree of knowledge, 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:27.920 and Adam, who also chose to eat that fruit and face the reality of death, 00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:31.120 we now have both spiritual and physical death. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:39.160 Things spiraled down quickly as Cain killed Abel in a raging fit of jealousy. 00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:44.379 Abel offered to God an acceptable sacrifice while Cain did not. 00:04:45.019 --> 00:04:51.699 As time progressed, the appearance of the Nephilim events turned totally evil. 00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:57.699 These Nephilim are fallen angels who rejected God and have followed the lies of Satan. 00:04:57.699 --> 00:05:05.180 Whether they possessed man or had physical relations with women on their own, the result was evil. 00:05:06.039 --> 00:05:14.519 Many theologians feel that when the flood happened, that these demons were cast into hell to be released during the tribulation 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:21.120 since there were no people or animals to possess other than Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark. 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:23.279 Think of it. 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:29.019 When Jesus freed a demon-possessed man, he sent the demons into 3,000 pigs 00:05:29.019 --> 00:05:33.819 because the demons did not want to be cast into hell. 00:05:34.339 --> 00:05:36.579 They pleaded not to go to hell. 00:05:37.979 --> 00:05:39.839 So that's the end of period one. 00:05:41.219 --> 00:05:44.479 Period two starts with Noah's flood, 00:05:44.619 --> 00:05:50.419 which is verified by the stratification of massive layers of different types of mud, rock, 00:05:50.919 --> 00:05:51.939 found all over the earth. 00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:56.719 It's not just the Grand Canyon, but it's in Europe, it's in Asia, it's in Australia. 00:05:57.819 --> 00:06:02.779 Massive amounts of mud, 1,000-foot layers that are stratification. 00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:08.180 And that's not just a local little thing. 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.860 1,000 feet of mud is a massive amount. 00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:17.680 These formations are laid parallel to each other with no sign of erosion between the layers. 00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:19.040 Think of the Grand Canyon. 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.420 If the deposit took millions of years to form, 00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:25.819 there would be indications of gullies and hills in the layers. 00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:27.060 They wouldn't be parallel. 00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:30.360 There'd be stratification all through it. 00:06:31.320 --> 00:06:35.320 And vertical, petrified trees could be found in some deposits. 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.399 Also, it is possible to find pliable tissue in many fossil bones. 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.620 65 million years should be enough time to dry up any bone marrow. 00:06:47.099 --> 00:06:52.939 Even to find fossilized bones, the annals would have to be covered with mud almost instantly. 00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:59.519 This is the time period of the Jews being God's chosen people. 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:06.259 This started with God choosing Abraham to set out from Haran to the land that became Israel. 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:14.839 Noah was still alive for 58 years while Abraham was living in the Ur of the Chaldeans. 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.759 So there was an overlap from Noah to Abraham, 58 years. 00:07:19.899 --> 00:07:27.579 So Abraham could have known the story of the flood firsthand from his predecessor. 00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:35.359 When Isaac's family entered Egypt to escape a famine and lived under Joseph's care, 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:37.399 there were about 70 people. 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.939 430 years later, to the day, they left Egypt, a nation. 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.279 Israel was a nation of 2 million, with Moses leading them. 00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:48.659 During the 40 years of wandering in the desert, 00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:53.319 Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:59.339 These are the historical records and books of the law that Jews were to live by. 00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:06.620 God also ordered Moses to build a portable meeting tent for him with two rooms separated by a heavy curtain. 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:10.800 In the tent was the Holy of Holies that housed the Ark of the Covenant, 00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:15.980 which was a golden covered box, a little bigger than a two-drawer filing cabinet. 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:21.120 On top of the Ark sat two figures of angels. 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:28.600 This is where man would meet God once a year with the blood of a sacrificed animal. 00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:34.659 The outer holy room contained gold candles, a table for bread, and another for incense. 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.440 The tent of meeting was surrounded by a large curtain courtyard. 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.799 Inside this area were the priests offered the animal sacrifices 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:47.840 and grain offerings that God required for the five types of sacrifices 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.639 to atone for the people's sin. 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.059 There's five different types of sacrifices. 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.360 These are pictures of Christ. 00:08:57.740 --> 00:09:02.679 We see that sin could only be corrected for by the loss of life of an animal 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.159 and its blood sprinkled on the altar. 00:09:06.439 --> 00:09:12.100 It is through the Old Testament law that we see how the murder of Jesus 00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:16.360 paid the price that we would have to pay on our own. 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:23.840 So these are, at the time, the Jews didn't really get it. 00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:33.680 But hindsight, we look at the death of Christ and we see how that was a fulfillment of the requirements. 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:38.319 God's chosen people were constantly rebellious. 00:09:38.939 --> 00:09:42.599 Even while Moses led the nation through the desert for 40 years, 00:09:43.079 --> 00:09:45.139 they would complain about food, water. 00:09:45.359 --> 00:09:51.399 They even made golden statues of calves while Moses was on the mountain meeting with God. 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:58.199 After David, a man after God's own heart, the nation drifted into idolatry. 00:09:58.439 --> 00:10:01.379 And that's where we had our Sunday school lesson this morning, 00:10:01.819 --> 00:10:07.199 including the sacrifice of their own children to Molech and the worship of all gods. 00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:12.480 The pinnacle of Israel's history was the reign of Solomon who built the first temple. 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:19.539 After this, God raised prophets to warn the people, which they rejected and often killed. 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.899 After much warning, God would send other nations to attack and destroy Israel, 00:10:25.940 --> 00:10:28.840 leaving just a remnant to carry on in Israel. 00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:32.159 Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar was the most famous. 00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:35.820 Daniel interpreted his dream about the coming kingdoms. 00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:42.640 Interestingly, from this time on, Israel ceased to be a nation 00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:45.900 and was always occupied by other nations. 00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:48.700 Rome was in power when Jesus was born. 00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:53.540 And even you think, oh yeah, Israel was a nation. 00:10:53.640 --> 00:10:55.060 No, they were occupied. 00:10:56.040 --> 00:11:00.200 They were never, there was always, there's always been Jews in Israel, 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.760 but they were never a nation again. 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.500 Then, period three, the Gentile age. 00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:08.500 We are in the Gentile age. 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:14.200 Christ's birth, life, and death fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies. 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.580 From being born of a virgin in Bethlehem to riding on a donkey, 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:27.200 his death on the cross was foretold in Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, 4 to 9. 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.340 Isaiah 53. 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:39.519 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.639 Yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted. 00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:46.319 But he was pierced for our transgression. 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.279 He was crushed for our iniquities. 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.759 Punishment that brought us peace was upon him. 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:53.819 And by his wounds we are healed. 00:11:54.319 --> 00:11:56.580 We all, like sheep, have gone astray. 00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:59.039 Each of us has turned to his own way. 00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:02.740 And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:06.679 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth. 00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:11.699 He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is silent. 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.699 So he did not open his mouth. 00:12:14.199 --> 00:12:16.740 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. 00:12:17.319 --> 00:12:19.399 And who can speak of his descendants? 00:12:20.099 --> 00:12:22.559 For he was cut off from the land of the living. 00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:26.500 For the transgressions of any people he was stricken. 00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:31.120 He was assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death. 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.379 Though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. 00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:42.019 Interestingly, Jews will not read chapter 53. 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:47.600 It's too exactly what was told. 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:55.799 With the death of Christ came the end of the time of Israel being the center of God's focus. 00:12:55.799 --> 00:13:04.799 At the moment of Christ's death, the heavy curtain that separated the holy place from the holy of holies in the tabernacle, 00:13:05.099 --> 00:13:09.259 built by Herod, were ripped in two, from top to bottom. 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:15.120 This ended the need for people to come and offer animal sacrifices for their sins. 00:13:16.019 --> 00:13:20.919 Christ's human death and the shedding of the blood is the atonement that was required. 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:28.339 All the Old Testament sacrifices were just a down payment for sin for Israelites who believed in God. 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:33.459 Today, we are no less sinners, but by believing that Christ died for us, 00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:37.599 we can attain salvation from eternal death. 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:51.440 Ephesians chapter 2, 8 to 10 is just a very short picture of this. 00:13:52.940 --> 00:13:58.180 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves. 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.279 It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:12.159 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 00:14:12.839 --> 00:14:19.120 So very clearly, I'm not getting to heaven because I'm such a good person. 00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:22.980 I give to the poor, I feed this, I'm that and this. 00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:27.899 It's only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus. 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.980 But God does prepare things for us to do for the way we live and everything. 00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:42.700 So doing good is not a requirement to get to heaven, but it is a requirement for how we are to live. 00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:52.720 In the explanation, grace started in the Garden of Eden when God allowed Adam and Eve to live. 00:14:53.640 --> 00:14:57.580 Grace continued through Moses as he was saved from the flood. 00:14:58.100 --> 00:15:07.100 Grace continues to us since believing allows us to live in heaven through faith. 00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:15.320 The present church age is when God has expanded his offer of salvation to everyone who will believe. 00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:18.480 Not just the Jews, but to everyone. 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.340 So this is our offer. 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:25.399 We are the ones grafted into the olive tree. 00:15:25.540 --> 00:15:33.580 Josh talked about that a few months ago, about being grafted into the tree, and that is us. 00:15:33.580 --> 00:15:41.820 God foreknows who would believe, but it's still our choice to accept the offer of eternal life. 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:49.400 Over the last thousand years, God's church has been instrumental in events on earth. 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:54.660 It's not that the people are perfect, but God uses people. 00:15:54.659 --> 00:16:05.459 A few examples of how the believers have had input into things and events is constitution of many countries. 00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:12.379 Most notably has been how the United States Constitution was heavily influenced by God's word. 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:20.500 Another is, in England, William Wilberforce was active in politics for 45 years. 00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:26.279 As a believer, he worked for over 25 years to have slavery abolished. 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.759 Finally, in 1807, England did so. 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:35.240 He also worked to improve conditions in factories and other workplace conditions. 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:40.899 So here was a believer who worked to get slavery abolished in England. 00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:51.419 Then, you can look to modern medicine and how it's inspiration from believers who risked their lives during the European plagues, caring for others. 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.179 So people, even though they knew that the plague was active, and they didn't understand it, 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.959 but they knew that to go care for something, somebody, could be deadly. 00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:04.859 So these were believers who would do that. 00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:11.000 Florence Nightingale is credited with the start of modern nursing. 00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:17.479 During the Crimean War, she nursed the British wounded at Skirtini, Turkey. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.059 Later on, she helped start nursing schools in England. 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.399 There are many famous scientists who were Christian believers. 00:17:26.219 --> 00:17:34.000 Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur, Galileo Galilei. 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.440 There are many believers who had great contribution to our knowledge. 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:43.200 Without the influence of Christian believers, the world would be a different place. 00:17:43.579 --> 00:17:47.579 So God placed exceptional wisdom and insight into these men. 00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:53.039 As we look at the world, we can see this time period is coming to a close. 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.880 God's word forecasts that rough times are ahead. 00:17:58.619 --> 00:18:02.319 One of the biggest predictors is the nation Israel. 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:11.200 So, like I said, over 2,500 years ago, it ceased being nation as it was occupied by various nations. 00:18:11.919 --> 00:18:15.179 The latest before it became a nation was Turkey. 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:21.759 And then it was part of the British Empire from about 1900 on. 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:28.000 In Isaiah 66, God asks, 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:33.740 Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.740 Only once. 00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:40.480 May 14, 1948, this happened. 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.160 Israel again became a nation. 00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.700 The next day, it was at war with all of its neighbors. 00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:52.819 And as you read the book of Revelation, it is written about the nation Israel. 00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:58.740 Not the revisionist view that this is the church under persecution. 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.779 Israel never ceased being God's chosen people. 00:19:04.100 --> 00:19:08.840 So there's many churches that teach, as you read all the persecution that goes, 00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:10.940 all the bad things that are happening in Revelation, 00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:12.440 that that's churches. 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:14.519 It's Israel. 00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:20.259 And that Jerusalem is the place where the temple will be built. 00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:28.220 Matthew 24, we read how the apostle asked Jesus about the end of the age. 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:34.120 Verses 4 to 8 describes the transition to the next period. 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:42.259 So this is before the tribulation, but at the end of the times right now. 00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:44.000 Jesus answered, 00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:48.479 Watch out that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name, 00:19:48.659 --> 00:19:51.939 claiming I am the Christ, and will deceive many. 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:57.859 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:02.219 Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 00:20:02.220 --> 00:20:06.079 Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom. 00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:10.420 There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:13.519 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:19.240 So this is God's warning before the tribulation, 00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:21.740 that things are going to go downhill. 00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:28.579 So these verses describe the transition to the next period. 00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:31.539 At this point, before the tribulations, 00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:35.980 many believe that the true church of believers will be raptured 00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:39.940 to be with Christ in the twinkling of an eye. 00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:43.240 Others believe that this will happen at the halfway point, 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:45.259 at the three and a half years of the tribulation. 00:20:46.120 --> 00:20:49.180 And yet others believe that the church will live here on earth, 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.900 but will be protected from God's wrath. 00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:56.259 So there are numerous views as to what happens. 00:20:57.060 --> 00:21:02.540 I prefer the rapture, that God will spare us. 00:21:03.280 --> 00:21:07.140 He tells the church of the Philippians that they are weak, 00:21:07.280 --> 00:21:09.500 but he will protect them from the wrath to come. 00:21:12.140 --> 00:21:16.259 But that's, you know, like, just like so many things, 00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:19.879 it's not absolutely clear, so there can be debate. 00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:24.059 One thing is for certain, during the tribulation, 00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:25.559 there will be much deception. 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:28.240 People's view of God will be clouded, 00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:29.900 not wanting to accept him as God. 00:21:30.379 --> 00:21:33.180 We are also told that things wind down, 00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:36.420 that believers will be persecuted for the Christian stand we take. 00:21:37.299 --> 00:21:37.980 Look around. 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.460 Here's a few examples. 00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:44.559 A student at a Catholic church in Ontario is expelled 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.900 and then arrested for declaring in class 00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:50.380 that God made only two genders. 00:21:51.620 --> 00:21:55.700 In Saskatoon, naked men parading around for hours 00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:59.720 in various women's changing rooms at public pools. 00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:04.019 Think of 30 years ago, would that have happened? 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:05.500 I don't think so. 00:22:05.960 --> 00:22:09.400 Topless women also prancing around at public pools. 00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:10.420 Because they're men. 00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:15.799 Political parties not allowing people to be candidates 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.340 if they have a pro-life belief. 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:24.779 Pastors being arrested for demonstrating against drag queens 00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:28.059 reading to young children in public libraries. 00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:30.900 These are all happening in Canada, 00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:34.380 and to object is now viewed as hate. 00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:41.160 Now we look at earthquakes, famines, wars, deception, persecution. 00:22:41.760 --> 00:22:45.380 These are all forecast because Jesus lovingly 00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:49.400 is warning us of the consequences of rejecting him. 00:22:50.560 --> 00:22:51.620 Period 4. 00:22:53.060 --> 00:22:55.260 We go to Revelation chapter 6. 00:22:55.259 --> 00:23:06.740 Revelation chapter 6 is the start of the description 00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:08.500 of the tribulation period. 00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:13.000 I'll just read verses 1 to 8. 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:20.140 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. 00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.980 Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a loud voice, 00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:25.579 a voice like thunder, 00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:27.339 Come, I looked. 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:29.480 And there before me was a white horse. 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:32.819 Its riders held a bow, and he was given a crown, 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.579 and he rode out as a conqueror, bent on conquest. 00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:39.919 When the Lamb opened the second seal, 00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:42.319 I heard the second living creature say, 00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:43.079 Come. 00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:46.359 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. 00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:50.119 Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth 00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:52.859 and make men slay each other to give them. 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.740 To him was given a large sword. 00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:57.319 When the Lamb opened the third seal, 00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:59.279 I heard the third living creature say, 00:23:59.599 --> 00:23:59.859 Come. 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:02.500 I looked, and there before me was a black horse. 00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:05.619 Its rider was a pair of scales in his hand. 00:24:05.619 --> 00:24:08.699 Then I heard what sounded like a voice 00:24:08.699 --> 00:24:11.039 among the four living creatures say, 00:24:11.419 --> 00:24:13.319 A quart of wheat for a day's wages, 00:24:13.719 --> 00:24:16.079 and three quarts of barley for a day's wage, 00:24:16.379 --> 00:24:18.719 and do not damage the oil and the wine. 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.479 Then when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, 00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:25.099 I heard the voice of the living creature say, 00:24:25.439 --> 00:24:25.759 Come. 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:28.859 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.079 Its rider was named Death and Hades, 00:24:32.659 --> 00:24:34.859 and Hades was following close behind him. 00:24:34.859 --> 00:24:37.939 They were given power over a fourth of the earth 00:24:37.939 --> 00:24:40.399 to kill by sword, famine, and plague, 00:24:40.979 --> 00:24:43.339 and by the wild beasts of the earth. 00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:49.480 In this description, 00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:53.099 the rider is Satan, 00:24:53.939 --> 00:24:55.139 mimicking Jesus, 00:24:55.439 --> 00:24:58.159 as we will look at in chapter 19. 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.299 So Satan comes on a white horse, 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.399 as portrayed, 00:25:04.919 --> 00:25:08.000 he is a leader of certain stature, 00:25:08.419 --> 00:25:09.599 so he will deceive. 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:12.899 So Satan always tries to mimic Christ. 00:25:14.199 --> 00:25:16.219 There are many ideas about the timing 00:25:16.219 --> 00:25:18.000 before the tribulation starts, 00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:20.599 but there's no doubt that when Satan appears, 00:25:21.679 --> 00:25:24.139 the clock starts kicking down, 00:25:24.219 --> 00:25:25.379 the seven-year countdown. 00:25:26.379 --> 00:25:29.859 This will be the most horrific time on earth. 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:31.579 Right away, 00:25:32.139 --> 00:25:36.019 two billion people die horrendous deaths. 00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:39.700 Any person who becomes a believer will be murdered, 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.839 but will have eternal life through Jesus, 00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:46.019 so that anyone who doesn't have the mark forecast 00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.079 in the middle will be killed 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.700 because they don't follow the beast. 00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:55.740 The mark of the beast 00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:59.579 will identify everyone without it. 00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:01.259 No one can buy or sell anything. 00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:05.079 This mark seems not to only identify, 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.599 but affects the intellect of the people, 00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:10.839 stopping them from looking to God. 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.039 You know, it's interesting. 00:26:13.900 --> 00:26:14.619 In Australia, 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.059 it is coming soon 00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:18.559 that your cell phone 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.799 will be your identification and banking machine, 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:25.059 nullifying the need for the use of cash. 00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:28.839 So these things are getting closer 00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.919 that, yeah, you think, 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:31.000 well, this is all, 00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:32.460 you know, how is it? 00:26:32.679 --> 00:26:34.440 But we do have the technology 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.399 that 100 years ago 00:26:36.399 --> 00:26:37.799 and even 50 years ago 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:39.419 was only dreamed of. 00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:40.819 Now we have the technology, 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:42.399 and in the future, 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:44.279 it could be something as simple 00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:45.519 as a chip in your arm. 00:26:46.399 --> 00:26:46.980 So you won't, 00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:49.859 cash is worthless. 00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:53.460 Now, during this period, 00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:55.700 during the period of the tribulation, 00:26:55.840 --> 00:26:57.200 after Satan comes, 00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.200 there are three titles 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.079 with seven events each. 00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:02.940 The seals 00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:05.559 starts in Revelation 6. 00:27:06.340 --> 00:27:07.579 There's Antichrist, 00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:10.340 then there's war, famine, and death. 00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.200 Death, 00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:14.779 a quarter of the population destroyed. 00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:17.340 Earth and heaven are shaken. 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.819 The 144,000 are sealed, 00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:23.360 and they're from the nations of Israel. 00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:25.279 Each tribe is named 00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.519 as 12,000 00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.840 from each of the 12 tribes, 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:32.519 and there's half an hour 00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.500 of silence in heaven. 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:35.640 Next is the trumpets 00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.400 in Revelations 8, 9, and 11. 00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:40.799 A third of the trees 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.960 and grass are destroyed. 00:27:42.620 --> 00:27:44.019 A third of the sea life 00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:45.100 and ships are destroyed. 00:27:45.860 --> 00:27:47.140 A third of the fresh water 00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:47.779 is poisoned. 00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:50.200 Went through to the sun and moon 00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:53.079 and stars are darkened. 00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:54.460 Stars are darkened. 00:27:55.099 --> 00:27:56.839 Demonic locusts. 00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:59.740 Demonic locusts. 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.259 And then there's four demons released 00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:04.399 and 200 million troops 00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:05.779 on the move. 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.339 Finally, 00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:08.759 the bowls. 00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:11.099 Each one gets worse 00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:12.099 and worse and worse. 00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:15.359 Revelation 15 and 16. 00:28:15.659 --> 00:28:16.139 Boils. 00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:19.379 So people will suffer with boils. 00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:22.339 All sea life is destroyed. 00:28:23.159 --> 00:28:25.079 All water is poisoned. 00:28:25.959 --> 00:28:27.019 Scorching sun. 00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:29.059 Deep darkness. 00:28:29.919 --> 00:28:32.299 Rebellious mankind curses God, 00:28:32.439 --> 00:28:34.639 and the Euphrates river dries up 00:28:34.639 --> 00:28:36.459 for the Battle of Armageddon. 00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:38.380 Worldwide earthquakes, 00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:41.480 and Babylon is destroyed, 00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:42.779 and with huge, 00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:44.340 there's huge hailstorms. 00:28:44.500 --> 00:28:46.960 Hundred pound hailstorms. 00:28:47.620 --> 00:28:48.279 Hailstorms. 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:50.920 I'd like to read chapter 9. 00:28:51.660 --> 00:28:54.059 Revelation chapter 9. 00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:03.579 The fifth angel 00:29:03.579 --> 00:29:04.819 sounded his trumpet, 00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:06.399 and I saw a star that had fallen 00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:07.659 from the sky to the earth. 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.579 The star was given the key 00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:11.000 to the shaft of the abyss. 00:29:11.539 --> 00:29:12.819 When he opened the abyss, 00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:14.679 smoke rose like smoke 00:29:14.679 --> 00:29:15.700 from a giant furnace. 00:29:16.299 --> 00:29:17.539 The sun and the sky 00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:18.700 were darkened by the smoke 00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.359 from the abyss. 00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:20.799 And out of the smoke, 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.740 locusts came down upon the earth 00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:23.859 and were given power 00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:25.059 like that of scorpions 00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.559 of the earth. 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:27.819 They were told not to harm 00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:28.939 the grass of the earth 00:29:28.939 --> 00:29:30.679 or the plants or trees, 00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:32.599 but only those people 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.139 who did not have the seal of God 00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:34.800 on their forehead. 00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.560 They were not given power 00:29:36.560 --> 00:29:37.220 to kill them, 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:38.900 but only to torture them 00:29:38.900 --> 00:29:40.259 for five months. 00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:44.020 And the agony they suffered 00:29:44.020 --> 00:29:45.660 was like that of a sting 00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:46.460 of a scorpion 00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:47.640 when it strikes a man. 00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:49.440 During those days, 00:29:49.580 --> 00:29:50.620 men will seek death, 00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:51.640 but will not find it. 00:29:52.020 --> 00:29:53.140 They will long to die, 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:54.580 but death will elude them. 00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:58.939 And it also describes 00:29:58.939 --> 00:30:02.379 the different plagues 00:30:02.379 --> 00:30:03.259 that are going to come. 00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:07.059 And then, 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:10.379 verse, 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.099 God always warned the Israelites. 00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:17.679 He allowed them to be, 00:30:17.679 --> 00:30:19.639 He allowed them to be slaughtered 00:30:19.639 --> 00:30:20.980 and taken to Babylonia 00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.619 and Assyria. 00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:22.939 He warned them, 00:30:23.659 --> 00:30:26.059 turn away from your worthless idols. 00:30:27.139 --> 00:30:27.679 Repent, 00:30:27.879 --> 00:30:28.599 turn to me. 00:30:29.379 --> 00:30:29.959 He warned them 00:30:29.959 --> 00:30:31.419 for hundreds of years. 00:30:32.539 --> 00:30:34.439 And when they refused, 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:35.259 they suffered. 00:30:35.679 --> 00:30:36.500 They were killed 00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:38.519 because they would not 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:40.279 turn away from the 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:45.000 Moloch. 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:46.380 And, you know, 00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:47.420 as we talked a little bit 00:30:47.420 --> 00:30:48.940 in Sunday school this morning, 00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:50.000 Moloch 00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.420 was a detestable God 00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:53.619 where the people 00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:54.400 would sacrifice. 00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:55.799 They would put 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.000 their children, 00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:57.759 their babies, 00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:59.160 on this altar 00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:00.839 and burn them up. 00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.619 So God told them 00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:04.680 to change. 00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:06.460 So after all these, 00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:07.619 so this warning 00:31:07.619 --> 00:31:08.440 about the, 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:10.640 the warning about the, 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:13.360 you know, 00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:14.960 the locusts 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:15.580 and everything, 00:31:16.300 --> 00:31:17.900 verses 20 00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:19.220 and 21 say, 00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:20.980 the rest of mankind 00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:22.360 that was not killed 00:31:22.360 --> 00:31:23.100 by the plagues 00:31:23.100 --> 00:31:24.740 still did not repent 00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:25.340 of the works 00:31:25.340 --> 00:31:26.040 of their hands. 00:31:26.520 --> 00:31:27.500 They did not stop 00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.480 worshipping demons 00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.080 and idols of gold, 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.540 silver, 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.040 bronze, 00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.500 stone, 00:31:31.580 --> 00:31:31.920 and wood. 00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:33.740 Idols that cannot see 00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:34.560 or hear 00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:35.400 or walk. 00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:36.980 Nor did they repent 00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.960 of their murderers, 00:31:38.300 --> 00:31:39.660 their magic arts, 00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:41.080 which could mean drugs, 00:31:41.800 --> 00:31:43.120 their sexual immorality 00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:44.820 or their thefts. 00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.860 So the people 00:31:45.860 --> 00:31:48.180 did not repent. 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:50.900 God warns us 00:31:50.900 --> 00:31:51.560 through the book 00:31:51.560 --> 00:31:52.259 of Revelation, 00:31:52.840 --> 00:31:53.700 this is coming 00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:55.240 to be, 00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:56.660 to repent, 00:31:56.800 --> 00:31:57.860 to change your ways 00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.740 and if you don't, 00:31:59.060 --> 00:31:59.980 you will face 00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:01.400 the wrath of God. 00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:06.320 So the tribulation 00:32:06.320 --> 00:32:07.700 ends in chapters 00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:09.720 19, 00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:11.100 11, 00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:13.160 and I'll just 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:14.140 quickly read a bit 00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:14.420 there. 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:16.240 I saw, 00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.480 and this is 00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.840 when the tribulation, 00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.600 because there's always 00:32:20.600 --> 00:32:22.140 a distinct marker. 00:32:22.840 --> 00:32:24.220 I saw heaven open 00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:25.960 and there before me 00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:27.160 was a white horse, 00:32:27.460 --> 00:32:28.600 again a white horse, 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:30.500 whose rider is called 00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:31.519 Faithful and True. 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.539 With justice 00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:33.180 he judges 00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:34.000 and makes war. 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:35.359 His eyes are like 00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:36.160 blazing fire 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:37.140 and on his head 00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:38.140 were many crowns. 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:39.480 He has a name 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.160 written on him 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:40.779 that no one 00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:42.019 but he himself knows. 00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:43.680 He is dripped 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.700 in a robe 00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:45.619 dipped in blood 00:32:45.619 --> 00:32:46.279 and his name 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:47.220 is the word of God. 00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:48.900 The armies of heaven 00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.900 were following him, 00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:51.039 riding on white horses 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:52.259 and dressed in fine linen, 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:53.839 white and clean. 00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:55.180 Out of his mouth 00:32:55.180 --> 00:32:56.180 came a sharp sword 00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:57.079 with which to strike 00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.839 down the nations. 00:32:58.339 --> 00:32:59.299 He will rule them 00:32:59.299 --> 00:33:00.380 with an iron scepter. 00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:02.400 He treads the winepress 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.280 of the fury 00:33:03.280 --> 00:33:04.200 of the wrath 00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:05.240 of God Almighty 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.180 and on his robe 00:33:07.180 --> 00:33:08.160 and on his thigh 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:09.320 he has written the name 00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:10.500 King of Kings 00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:11.620 and Lord of Lords. 00:33:12.340 --> 00:33:12.860 All right. 00:33:13.540 --> 00:33:13.940 Yes. 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:15.800 So that's Jesus. 00:33:16.300 --> 00:33:17.900 That is the end 00:33:17.900 --> 00:33:19.520 of the tribulation. 00:33:21.520 --> 00:33:22.480 And then I, 00:33:24.040 --> 00:33:25.880 at the end of the thousand years 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:26.740 in chapter 20, 00:33:26.840 --> 00:33:27.780 and I saw an angel 00:33:27.780 --> 00:33:29.040 coming down out of heaven 00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:30.319 having the key 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.220 to the abyss 00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:35.259 and holding in his hand 00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:36.079 a great chain. 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:37.359 He seized the dragon, 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:38.899 that ancient serpent 00:33:38.899 --> 00:33:40.399 who is the devil 00:33:40.399 --> 00:33:40.960 or Satan 00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:41.559 and bound him 00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:42.599 for a thousand years. 00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.819 He threw him 00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:44.639 into the abyss 00:33:44.639 --> 00:33:45.519 and locked and sealed 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:46.299 it over him 00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:47.319 to keep him 00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:48.599 from deceiving the nations 00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:49.279 for more than, 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:50.539 for any more 00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:51.799 until the thousand years 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:52.240 was ended. 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.399 After this, 00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:54.879 he may be set free 00:33:54.879 --> 00:33:56.139 for a short time. 00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:59.160 So that's the end 00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.220 of the tribulation period, 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:02.360 the start 00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:03.820 of the thousand years. 00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:05.920 Isaiah describes 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:07.020 a peaceful time. 00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:09.740 Infants will play 00:34:09.740 --> 00:34:10.539 near the holes 00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:11.340 of the cobra 00:34:11.340 --> 00:34:12.720 and young children 00:34:12.720 --> 00:34:13.740 will put their hands 00:34:13.740 --> 00:34:15.019 into the viper's nest. 00:34:15.720 --> 00:34:16.480 No harm done. 00:34:18.140 --> 00:34:19.480 Isaiah 65, 00:34:20.200 --> 00:34:21.579 19 to 25. 00:34:22.160 --> 00:34:24.360 This is incredible. 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:25.360 Like this is not, 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:27.260 this doesn't describe heaven. 00:34:27.380 --> 00:34:28.440 This doesn't describe 00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:29.579 the world 00:34:29.579 --> 00:34:30.680 as we know it today. 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:31.620 This describes 00:34:31.620 --> 00:34:33.260 a special period. 00:34:39.260 --> 00:34:40.380 And I will rejoice 00:34:40.380 --> 00:34:41.140 over Jerusalem 00:34:41.140 --> 00:34:42.160 and take delight 00:34:42.160 --> 00:34:42.800 in my people. 00:34:42.900 --> 00:34:43.820 The sound of weeping 00:34:43.820 --> 00:34:44.519 and of crying 00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:45.940 will be heard in it 00:34:45.940 --> 00:34:46.680 no more. 00:34:47.620 --> 00:34:48.380 Never again 00:34:48.380 --> 00:34:49.700 will there be in it 00:34:49.700 --> 00:34:50.680 an infant who lives 00:34:50.680 --> 00:34:51.599 but a few days 00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:53.079 or an old man 00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:53.900 who does not live 00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.579 out his years. 00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:55.839 He who dies 00:34:55.839 --> 00:34:56.420 at a hundred 00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:57.860 will be thought of 00:34:57.860 --> 00:34:58.779 as a mere youth. 00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.279 That's not happening today. 00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:01.779 He who fails 00:35:01.779 --> 00:35:02.500 to reach a hundred 00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:03.360 will be considered 00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:03.860 accursed. 00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:05.480 They will build houses 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:06.259 and dwell in them. 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:07.360 They will plant vineyards 00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:08.139 and eat their fruit. 00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:09.159 No longer 00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:10.420 will they build houses 00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:11.460 and others live in them 00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:12.239 or plant and eat 00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:13.199 and others eat. 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.360 For as the day 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:14.920 of a tree 00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:15.940 so will be the days 00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:16.500 of my people. 00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:17.420 My chosen ones 00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:18.380 will long enjoy 00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:19.500 the works of their hands. 00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:20.860 They will not toil 00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:21.400 in vain 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:22.440 or bear children 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.460 doomed to misfortune. 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:25.280 They will be a people 00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:26.420 blessed by the Lord 00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:27.519 they and their descendants 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:28.019 with them. 00:35:28.420 --> 00:35:29.219 Before they call 00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:29.960 I will answer. 00:35:30.260 --> 00:35:31.340 While they are still speaking 00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:32.000 I will hear. 00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:33.659 The wolf and the lamb 00:35:33.659 --> 00:35:34.400 will feed together. 00:35:34.739 --> 00:35:35.860 The lion will each draw 00:35:35.860 --> 00:35:36.619 like the ox. 00:35:37.099 --> 00:35:37.619 Thus will be 00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:38.519 the serpent's food. 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:41.960 They will neither harm 00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:42.599 nor destroy 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:43.619 in all my mountains 00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:44.780 says the Lord. 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:45.960 So this is a period 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:47.079 of absolute 00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:48.380 perfect peace. 00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:49.640 There will be humans 00:35:49.640 --> 00:35:50.539 on earth 00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:51.820 that can die. 00:35:52.640 --> 00:35:54.039 Not believers 00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:55.360 who have gone to heaven 00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:56.619 but they will have children. 00:35:57.140 --> 00:35:57.920 Those that are there 00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.140 during the thousand years 00:35:59.140 --> 00:36:00.140 will have children. 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:01.800 Those children 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.940 still have to have 00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:03.119 the, 00:36:03.340 --> 00:36:04.300 make the choice 00:36:04.300 --> 00:36:05.280 to decide 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:06.599 because 00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.480 again 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:11.559 Revelations 00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:13.460 chapter 20 00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:16.740 chapter 20 00:36:16.740 --> 00:36:18.400 7 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.820 to 15 00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:21.780 are some of the most 00:36:21.780 --> 00:36:22.800 terrifying 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:23.740 verses 00:36:23.740 --> 00:36:24.920 in the Bible. 00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:28.699 This is the end 00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:30.099 of the tribulation. 00:36:30.220 --> 00:36:30.900 Again I can say 00:36:30.900 --> 00:36:31.820 there is a distinct 00:36:31.820 --> 00:36:32.880 marker 00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:33.539 and this is the 00:36:33.539 --> 00:36:34.440 distinct marker. 00:36:36.179 --> 00:36:36.639 So 00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:38.539 when I saw 00:36:38.539 --> 00:36:39.059 a great 00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:40.000 white throne 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.559 and him 00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:41.199 who was seated 00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:41.639 on it 00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:43.099 earth and sky 00:36:43.099 --> 00:36:44.199 fled from his presence 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:44.859 and there was no 00:36:44.859 --> 00:36:45.559 place for them. 00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:46.980 I saw the dead 00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:47.980 great and small 00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:48.900 standing before 00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:49.400 the throne 00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.879 and the books 00:36:49.879 --> 00:36:50.339 were opened. 00:36:50.900 --> 00:36:51.500 Another book 00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:52.000 was opened 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:52.659 which is 00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:53.460 the book of life. 00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:54.279 The dead 00:36:54.279 --> 00:36:54.799 were judged 00:36:54.799 --> 00:36:55.639 according to 00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:56.480 what they had done 00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:57.779 as recorded 00:36:57.779 --> 00:36:58.379 in the books. 00:36:58.940 --> 00:36:59.359 The sea 00:36:59.359 --> 00:37:00.299 gave up the dead 00:37:00.299 --> 00:37:01.480 and there was 00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:02.019 in it 00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:02.519 and death 00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:03.039 and Hades 00:37:03.039 --> 00:37:03.920 gave up the dead 00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:04.699 that were in them 00:37:04.699 --> 00:37:06.139 and each person 00:37:06.139 --> 00:37:07.439 was judged 00:37:07.439 --> 00:37:08.500 according to 00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:09.399 what they had done. 00:37:10.419 --> 00:37:11.139 Then death 00:37:11.139 --> 00:37:11.819 and Hades 00:37:11.819 --> 00:37:12.419 were thrown 00:37:12.419 --> 00:37:13.099 into the lake 00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:13.500 of fire. 00:37:13.919 --> 00:37:14.339 The lake 00:37:14.339 --> 00:37:14.759 of fire 00:37:14.759 --> 00:37:16.339 is the second 00:37:16.339 --> 00:37:16.939 death. 00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:18.419 If anyone's 00:37:18.419 --> 00:37:19.319 name was not 00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:20.019 found written 00:37:20.019 -->

00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:27.519 So that's 00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:28.039 a promise. 00:37:28.359 --> 00:37:28.859 When Christ 00:37:28.859 --> 00:37:29.219 comes 00:37:29.219 --> 00:37:30.179 is there
