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.
Thank you. Amen.
Just over three kilometers from our house sits one of the few remaining statues of Sir John A. MacDonald.
Due to revisionist view of our first Prime Minister, most of his statues have been destroyed or put into storage.
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.
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.
There are many that want to change history so as to deny what happened yesterday.
This is just as true for the history of the Bible.
From the substitution of evolution for the history of creation to questioning parts of Jewish history,
the denial that David was a king to even questioning if Christ was a real person by some.
Unfortunately, a lot of people that attend more progressive churches fall into this group.
Not only do they want to allegorize everything in the Bible,
but when it comes to the future event, it makes little sense to them.
Fortunately for us, Jesus, who is the Word of God, John 1.1,
knew what he was talking about, inspiring men to write the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
For Christ, everything, everything is historical in a historical form since he sees the end from the beginning.
God sees everything.
He's before all things and he is all things.
Today I want to look at the six time periods described in the Bible
and the significant events that mark the divide.
God is gracious to us that he tells us and warns us of past and future events
with the aspiration that all people will come to a real faith in him
and not face eternal judgment.
27% of the Bible is prophetical, including the birth, life, and death of Jesus.
Much is still to occur in the world time frame.
Starting with Genesis chapter 1, we have God declaring that he alone is responsible
for every physical thing that we experience in this world,
from the ground and air to plants and animals and sun and moon.
He claims to have placed the stars in the sky.
Without the constellations, it would have been exceedingly hard to navigate long distances in the past.
Also, the change of location in the sky helps us track seasonal time frame.
Another thing that's happened lately to verify the stars,
does anyone remember or looked at and known about the James Webb telescope that's there?
It's proven that the Big Bang Theory is bogus.
I love that.
You see way back that there should not be galaxies 10 times bigger than the Milky Way that are mature.
Anyways, with the fall of man, Eve being deceived by Satan, eating from the tree of knowledge,
and Adam, who also chose to eat that fruit and face the reality of death,
we now have both spiritual and physical death.
Things spiraled down quickly as Cain killed Abel in a raging fit of jealousy.
Abel offered to God an acceptable sacrifice while Cain did not.
As time progressed, the appearance of the Nephilim events turned totally evil.
These Nephilim are fallen angels who rejected God and have followed the lies of Satan.
Whether they possessed man or had physical relations with women on their own, the result was evil.
Many theologians feel that when the flood happened, that these demons were cast into hell to be released during the tribulation
since there were no people or animals to possess other than Noah, his family, and the animals on the ark.
Think of it.
When Jesus freed a demon-possessed man, he sent the demons into 3,000 pigs
because the demons did not want to be cast into hell.
They pleaded not to go to hell.
So that's the end of period one.
Period two starts with Noah's flood,
which is verified by the stratification of massive layers of different types of mud, rock,
found all over the earth.
It's not just the Grand Canyon, but it's in Europe, it's in Asia, it's in Australia.
Massive amounts of mud, 1,000-foot layers that are stratification.
And that's not just a local little thing.
1,000 feet of mud is a massive amount.
These formations are laid parallel to each other with no sign of erosion between the layers.
Think of the Grand Canyon.
If the deposit took millions of years to form,
there would be indications of gullies and hills in the layers.
They wouldn't be parallel.
There'd be stratification all through it.
And vertical, petrified trees could be found in some deposits.
Also, it is possible to find pliable tissue in many fossil bones.
65 million years should be enough time to dry up any bone marrow.
Even to find fossilized bones, the annals would have to be covered with mud almost instantly.
This is the time period of the Jews being God's chosen people.
This started with God choosing Abraham to set out from Haran to the land that became Israel.
Noah was still alive for 58 years while Abraham was living in the Ur of the Chaldeans.
So there was an overlap from Noah to Abraham, 58 years.
So Abraham could have known the story of the flood firsthand from his predecessor.
When Isaac's family entered Egypt to escape a famine and lived under Joseph's care,
there were about 70 people.
430 years later, to the day, they left Egypt, a nation.
Israel was a nation of 2 million, with Moses leading them.
During the 40 years of wandering in the desert,
Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament.
These are the historical records and books of the law that Jews were to live by.
God also ordered Moses to build a portable meeting tent for him with two rooms separated by a heavy curtain.
In the tent was the Holy of Holies that housed the Ark of the Covenant,
which was a golden covered box, a little bigger than a two-drawer filing cabinet.
On top of the Ark sat two figures of angels.
This is where man would meet God once a year with the blood of a sacrificed animal.
The outer holy room contained gold candles, a table for bread, and another for incense.
The tent of meeting was surrounded by a large curtain courtyard.
Inside this area were the priests offered the animal sacrifices
and grain offerings that God required for the five types of sacrifices
to atone for the people's sin.
There's five different types of sacrifices.
These are pictures of Christ.
We see that sin could only be corrected for by the loss of life of an animal
and its blood sprinkled on the altar.
It is through the Old Testament law that we see how the murder of Jesus
paid the price that we would have to pay on our own.
So these are, at the time, the Jews didn't really get it.
But hindsight, we look at the death of Christ and we see how that was a fulfillment of the requirements.
God's chosen people were constantly rebellious.
Even while Moses led the nation through the desert for 40 years,
they would complain about food, water.
They even made golden statues of calves while Moses was on the mountain meeting with God.
After David, a man after God's own heart, the nation drifted into idolatry.
And that's where we had our Sunday school lesson this morning,
including the sacrifice of their own children to Molech and the worship of all gods.
The pinnacle of Israel's history was the reign of Solomon who built the first temple.
After this, God raised prophets to warn the people, which they rejected and often killed.
After much warning, God would send other nations to attack and destroy Israel,
leaving just a remnant to carry on in Israel.
Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar was the most famous.
Daniel interpreted his dream about the coming kingdoms.
Interestingly, from this time on, Israel ceased to be a nation
and was always occupied by other nations.
Rome was in power when Jesus was born.
And even you think, oh yeah, Israel was a nation.
No, they were occupied.
They were never, there was always, there's always been Jews in Israel,
but they were never a nation again.
Then, period three, the Gentile age.
We are in the Gentile age.
Christ's birth, life, and death fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies.
From being born of a virgin in Bethlehem to riding on a donkey,
his death on the cross was foretold in Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53, 4 to 9.
Isaiah 53.
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows.
Yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgression.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
Punishment that brought us peace was upon him.
And by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray.
Each of us has turned to his own way.
And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is silent.
So he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
And who can speak of his descendants?
For he was cut off from the land of the living.
For the transgressions of any people he was stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death.
Though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Interestingly, Jews will not read chapter 53.
It's too exactly what was told.
With the death of Christ came the end of the time of Israel being the center of God's focus.
At the moment of Christ's death, the heavy curtain that separated the holy place from the holy of holies in the tabernacle,
built by Herod, were ripped in two, from top to bottom.
This ended the need for people to come and offer animal sacrifices for their sins.
Christ's human death and the shedding of the blood is the atonement that was required.
All the Old Testament sacrifices were just a down payment for sin for Israelites who believed in God.
Today, we are no less sinners, but by believing that Christ died for us,
we can attain salvation from eternal death.
Ephesians chapter 2, 8 to 10 is just a very short picture of this.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves.
It is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
So very clearly, I'm not getting to heaven because I'm such a good person.
I give to the poor, I feed this, I'm that and this.
It's only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus.
But God does prepare things for us to do for the way we live and everything.
So doing good is not a requirement to get to heaven, but it is a requirement for how we are to live.
In the explanation, grace started in the Garden of Eden when God allowed Adam and Eve to live.
Grace continued through Moses as he was saved from the flood.
Grace continues to us since believing allows us to live in heaven through faith.
The present church age is when God has expanded his offer of salvation to everyone who will believe.
Not just the Jews, but to everyone.
So this is our offer.
We are the ones grafted into the olive tree.
Josh talked about that a few months ago, about being grafted into the tree, and that is us.
God foreknows who would believe, but it's still our choice to accept the offer of eternal life.
Over the last thousand years, God's church has been instrumental in events on earth.
It's not that the people are perfect, but God uses people.
A few examples of how the believers have had input into things and events is constitution of many countries.
Most notably has been how the United States Constitution was heavily influenced by God's word.
Another is, in England, William Wilberforce was active in politics for 45 years.
As a believer, he worked for over 25 years to have slavery abolished.
Finally, in 1807, England did so.
He also worked to improve conditions in factories and other workplace conditions.
So here was a believer who worked to get slavery abolished in England.
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.
So people, even though they knew that the plague was active, and they didn't understand it,
but they knew that to go care for something, somebody, could be deadly.
So these were believers who would do that.
Florence Nightingale is credited with the start of modern nursing.
During the Crimean War, she nursed the British wounded at Skirtini, Turkey.
Later on, she helped start nursing schools in England.
There are many famous scientists who were Christian believers.
Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur, Galileo Galilei.
There are many believers who had great contribution to our knowledge.
Without the influence of Christian believers, the world would be a different place.
So God placed exceptional wisdom and insight into these men.
As we look at the world, we can see this time period is coming to a close.
God's word forecasts that rough times are ahead.
One of the biggest predictors is the nation Israel.
So, like I said, over 2,500 years ago, it ceased being nation as it was occupied by various nations.
The latest before it became a nation was Turkey.
And then it was part of the British Empire from about 1900 on.
In Isaiah 66, God asks,
Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Only once.
May 14, 1948, this happened.
Israel again became a nation.
The next day, it was at war with all of its neighbors.
And as you read the book of Revelation, it is written about the nation Israel.
Not the revisionist view that this is the church under persecution.
Israel never ceased being God's chosen people.
So there's many churches that teach, as you read all the persecution that goes,
all the bad things that are happening in Revelation,
that that's churches.
It's Israel.
And that Jerusalem is the place where the temple will be built.
Matthew 24, we read how the apostle asked Jesus about the end of the age.
Verses 4 to 8 describes the transition to the next period.
So this is before the tribulation, but at the end of the times right now.
Jesus answered,
Watch out that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name,
claiming I am the Christ, and will deceive many.
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
All these are the beginning of birth pains.
So this is God's warning before the tribulation,
that things are going to go downhill.
So these verses describe the transition to the next period.
At this point, before the tribulations,
many believe that the true church of believers will be raptured
to be with Christ in the twinkling of an eye.
Others believe that this will happen at the halfway point,
at the three and a half years of the tribulation.
And yet others believe that the church will live here on earth,
but will be protected from God's wrath.
So there are numerous views as to what happens.
I prefer the rapture, that God will spare us.
He tells the church of the Philippians that they are weak,
but he will protect them from the wrath to come.
But that's, you know, like, just like so many things,
it's not absolutely clear, so there can be debate.
One thing is for certain, during the tribulation,
there will be much deception.
People's view of God will be clouded,
not wanting to accept him as God.
We are also told that things wind down,
that believers will be persecuted for the Christian stand we take.
Look around.
Here's a few examples.
A student at a Catholic church in Ontario is expelled
and then arrested for declaring in class
that God made only two genders.
In Saskatoon, naked men parading around for hours
in various women's changing rooms at public pools.
Think of 30 years ago, would that have happened?
I don't think so.
Topless women also prancing around at public pools.
Because they're men.
Political parties not allowing people to be candidates
if they have a pro-life belief.
Pastors being arrested for demonstrating against drag queens
reading to young children in public libraries.
These are all happening in Canada,
and to object is now viewed as hate.
Now we look at earthquakes, famines, wars, deception, persecution.
These are all forecast because Jesus lovingly
is warning us of the consequences of rejecting him.
Period 4.
We go to Revelation chapter 6.
Revelation chapter 6 is the start of the description
of the tribulation period.
I'll just read verses 1 to 8.
I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals.
Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a loud voice,
a voice like thunder,
Come, I looked.
And there before me was a white horse.
Its riders held a bow, and he was given a crown,
and he rode out as a conqueror, bent on conquest.
When the Lamb opened the second seal,
I heard the second living creature say,
Come.
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one.
Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth
and make men slay each other to give them.
To him was given a large sword.
When the Lamb opened the third seal,
I heard the third living creature say,
Come.
I looked, and there before me was a black horse.
Its rider was a pair of scales in his hand.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice
among the four living creatures say,
A quart of wheat for a day's wages,
and three quarts of barley for a day's wage,
and do not damage the oil and the wine.
Then when the Lamb opened the fourth seal,
I heard the voice of the living creature say,
Come.
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse.
Its rider was named Death and Hades,
and Hades was following close behind him.
They were given power over a fourth of the earth
to kill by sword, famine, and plague,
and by the wild beasts of the earth.
In this description,
the rider is Satan,
mimicking Jesus,
as we will look at in chapter 19.
So Satan comes on a white horse,
as portrayed,
he is a leader of certain stature,
so he will deceive.
So Satan always tries to mimic Christ.
There are many ideas about the timing
before the tribulation starts,
but there's no doubt that when Satan appears,
the clock starts kicking down,
the seven-year countdown.
This will be the most horrific time on earth.
Right away,
two billion people die horrendous deaths.
Any person who becomes a believer will be murdered,
but will have eternal life through Jesus,
so that anyone who doesn't have the mark forecast
in the middle will be killed
because they don't follow the beast.
The mark of the beast
will identify everyone without it.
No one can buy or sell anything.
This mark seems not to only identify,
but affects the intellect of the people,
stopping them from looking to God.
You know, it's interesting.
In Australia,
it is coming soon
that your cell phone
will be your identification and banking machine,
nullifying the need for the use of cash.
So these things are getting closer
that, yeah, you think,
well, this is all,
you know, how is it?
But we do have the technology
that 100 years ago
and even 50 years ago
was only dreamed of.
Now we have the technology,
and in the future,
it could be something as simple
as a chip in your arm.
So you won't,
cash is worthless.
Now, during this period,
during the period of the tribulation,
after Satan comes,
there are three titles
with seven events each.
The seals
starts in Revelation 6.
There's Antichrist,
then there's war, famine, and death.
Death,
a quarter of the population destroyed.
Earth and heaven are shaken.
The 144,000 are sealed,
and they're from the nations of Israel.
Each tribe is named
as 12,000
from each of the 12 tribes,
and there's half an hour
of silence in heaven.
Next is the trumpets
in Revelations 8, 9, and 11.
A third of the trees
and grass are destroyed.
A third of the sea life
and ships are destroyed.
A third of the fresh water
is poisoned.
Went through to the sun and moon
and stars are darkened.
Stars are darkened.
Demonic locusts.
And then there's four demons released
and 200 million troops
on the move.
Finally,
the bowls.
Each one gets worse
and worse and worse.
Revelation 15 and 16.
Boils.
So people will suffer with boils.
All sea life is destroyed.
All water is poisoned.
Scorching sun.
Deep darkness.
Rebellious mankind curses God,
and the Euphrates river dries up
for the Battle of Armageddon.
Worldwide earthquakes,
and Babylon is destroyed,
and with huge,
there's huge hailstorms.
Hundred pound hailstorms.
Hailstorms.
I'd like to read chapter 9.
Revelation chapter 9.
The fifth angel
sounded his trumpet,
and I saw a star that had fallen
from the sky to the earth.
The star was given the key
to the shaft of the abyss.
When he opened the abyss,
smoke rose like smoke
from a giant furnace.
The sun and the sky
were darkened by the smoke
from the abyss.
And out of the smoke,
locusts came down upon the earth
and were given power
like that of scorpions
of the earth.
They were told not to harm
the grass of the earth
or the plants or trees,
but only those people
who did not have the seal of God
on their forehead.
They were not given power
to kill them,
but only to torture them
for five months.
And the agony they suffered
was like that of a sting
of a scorpion
when it strikes a man.
During those days,
men will seek death,
but will not find it.
They will long to die,
but death will elude them.
And it also describes
the different plagues
that are going to come.
And then,
verse,
God always warned the Israelites.
He allowed them to be,
He allowed them to be slaughtered
and taken to Babylonia
and Assyria.
He warned them,
turn away from your worthless idols.
Repent,
turn to me.
He warned them
for hundreds of years.
And when they refused,
they suffered.
They were killed
because they would not
turn away from the
Moloch.
And, you know,
as we talked a little bit
in Sunday school this morning,
Moloch
was a detestable God
where the people
would sacrifice.
They would put
their children,
their babies,
on this altar
and burn them up.
So God told them
to change.
So after all these,
so this warning
about the,
the warning about the,
you know,
the locusts
and everything,
verses 20
and 21 say,
the rest of mankind
that was not killed
by the plagues
still did not repent
of the works
of their hands.
They did not stop
worshipping demons
and idols of gold,
silver,
bronze,
stone,
and wood.
Idols that cannot see
or hear
or walk.
Nor did they repent
of their murderers,
their magic arts,
which could mean drugs,
their sexual immorality
or their thefts.
So the people
did not repent.
God warns us
through the book
of Revelation,
this is coming
to be,
to repent,
to change your ways
and if you don't,
you will face
the wrath of God.
So the tribulation
ends in chapters
19,
11,
and I'll just
quickly read a bit
there.
I saw,
and this is
when the tribulation,
because there's always
a distinct marker.
I saw heaven open
and there before me
was a white horse,
again a white horse,
whose rider is called
Faithful and True.
With justice
he judges
and makes war.
His eyes are like
blazing fire
and on his head
were many crowns.
He has a name
written on him
that no one
but he himself knows.
He is dripped
in a robe
dipped in blood
and his name
is the word of God.
The armies of heaven
were following him,
riding on white horses
and dressed in fine linen,
white and clean.
Out of his mouth
came a sharp sword
with which to strike
down the nations.
He will rule them
with an iron scepter.
He treads the winepress
of the fury
of the wrath
of God Almighty
and on his robe
and on his thigh
he has written the name
King of Kings
and Lord of Lords.
All right.
Yes.
So that's Jesus.
That is the end
of the tribulation.
And then I,
at the end of the thousand years
in chapter 20,
and I saw an angel
coming down out of heaven
having the key
to the abyss
and holding in his hand
a great chain.
He seized the dragon,
that ancient serpent
who is the devil
or Satan
and bound him
for a thousand years.
He threw him
into the abyss
and locked and sealed
it over him
to keep him
from deceiving the nations
for more than,
for any more
until the thousand years
was ended.
After this,
he may be set free
for a short time.
So that's the end
of the tribulation period,
the start
of the thousand years.
Isaiah describes
a peaceful time.
Infants will play
near the holes
of the cobra
and young children
will put their hands
into the viper's nest.
No harm done.
Isaiah 65,
19 to 25.
This is incredible.
Like this is not,
this doesn't describe heaven.
This doesn't describe
the world
as we know it today.
This describes
a special period.
And I will rejoice
over Jerusalem
and take delight
in my people.
The sound of weeping
and of crying
will be heard in it
no more.
Never again
will there be in it
an infant who lives
but a few days
or an old man
who does not live
out his years.
He who dies
at a hundred
will be thought of
as a mere youth.
That's not happening today.
He who fails
to reach a hundred
will be considered
accursed.
They will build houses
and dwell in them.
They will plant vineyards
and eat their fruit.
No longer
will they build houses
and others live in them
or plant and eat
and others eat.
For as the day
of a tree
so will be the days
of my people.
My chosen ones
will long enjoy
the works of their hands.
They will not toil
in vain
or bear children
doomed to misfortune.
They will be a people
blessed by the Lord
they and their descendants
with them.
Before they call
I will answer.
While they are still speaking
I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb
will feed together.
The lion will each draw
like the ox.
Thus will be
the serpent's food.
They will neither harm
nor destroy
in all my mountains
says the Lord.
So this is a period
of absolute
perfect peace.
There will be humans
on earth
that can die.
Not believers
who have gone to heaven
but they will have children.
Those that are there
during the thousand years
will have children.
Those children
still have to have
the,
make the choice
to decide
because
again
Revelations
chapter 20
7
to 15
are some of the most
terrifying
verses
in the Bible.
This is the end
of the tribulation.
Again I can say
there is a distinct
marker
and this is the
distinct marker.
So
when I saw
a great
white throne
and him
who was seated
on it
earth and sky
fled from his presence
and there was no
place for them.
I saw the dead
great and small
standing before
the throne
and the books
were opened.
Another book
was opened
which is
the book of life.
The dead
were judged
according to
what they had done
as recorded
in the books.
The sea
gave up the dead
and there was
in it
and death
and Hades
gave up the dead
that were in them
and each person
was judged
according to
what they had done.
Then death
and Hades
were thrown
into the lake
of fire.
The lake
of fire
is the second
death.
If anyone's
name was not
found written
in the book
of life
he was thrown
into the lake
of fire.
So that's
a promise.
When Christ
comes
is there
the
there's a
big battle
that happens
and God
just
with the
word of
his mouth
ends
the battle
all the
forces
against
him
so
these
are
people
that
were born
during the
thousand years
who rebelled
he will
destroy them
and then
the judgment
so
it's
promised
that if
anyone's
name
was not
found
written
in the
book
of life
he was
thrown
into
the lake
of fire
the lake
of fire
never ends
it's
not
quenchable
it's
yeah
so I
was thinking
you know
people think
well I'm
just going to
go there
and I'll
be with
all my
friends
hell will
be a
wonderful
place
we'll
party
all the
time
not so
much
an
example
of what
hell
could be
like
if you
think
of
Lazarus
and the
rich
man
Lazarus
died
he lived
a miserable
life
and the
dogs
licked
his
wounds
and the
rich
man
had all
his
wonderful
stuff
but
Lazarus
with
Abraham
and there
was a
huge
you couldn't
go across
this gully
or gap
between
where
Lazarus
was
and where
the rich
man
was
and this
is likely
how hell
will be
so the
rich man
was alone
he
was
tormented
unbelievably
he begged
for a drop
of water
on his
tongue
and there
was no
nothing
that could
give him
any
peace
so this
is how
hell
will be
alone
there is
no
there is
no partying
with friends
you are
all by
yourself
sulfur
in the
eyes
if you
have ever
had a
speck of
sulfur
in your
eyes
there is
not much
more
oh
that's
just
horrible
flames
unquenchable
thirst
no
relief
from pain
people
go into
heaven
we have
perfect
bodies
we have
no pain
we live
forever
there is
no relief
from pain
and the
worst part
for
eternity
hell
Romans 6
23
for the
wages of
sin is
death
but the
gift of
God is
eternal
life
then we
turn to
chapter 21
1 to 5
heaven
so after
after that
dividing mark
then we look
at heaven
then I saw
a new heaven
and a new
earth
for the
first heaven
and the
first earth
had passed
away and
there was
no longer
any sea
I saw
the holy
city
the new
Jerusalem
coming down
out of
heaven
from God
prepared
as a bride
beautifully
dressed for
her husband
and I heard
a loud voice
from the
throng
saying
now the
dwelling of
God is
with men
and he
will live
with them
they will
be his
people
and God
himself
will be
with them
and there
will be
their God
and he
will wipe
away
every tear
from their
eyes
there will
be no
more death
or mourning
or crying
or pain
for the
old order
of things
has passed
away
he who was
seated on
the throne
said
I am
making
everything
new
then he
said
write this
down
for these
words
are trustworthy
so that's
that's what
we have to
look for
heaven
is
we're
with God
there's
everything
to look
forward
to
you know
and
you know
as we
live our
lives
just
saying a
few
a few
words
isn't
enough
we have
to live
the life
and
the three
chapter book
of Titus
gives a
very clear
description
on how to
live the
Christian life
once
salvation
is accepted
so there's
expectations
God definitely
gives us
expectations
works to
live by
in
revelations
1 8
Jesus said
I am the
alpha and
the omega
who is
and who
was
and who
is to
come
the almighty
this statement
assures us
that we have
the guarantee
that these
six periods
did happen
and will
happen in
the future
this
is our
hope of
salvation
thank you
