00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.760
 We read this in Luke chapter 2.

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.120
 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:16.359
 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria,

00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:19.199
 and all went to be registered, each to his own town.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.080
 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth to Judea,

00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:26.300
 to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem,

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:33.579
 because he was of the house in lineage of David to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,

00:00:33.579 --> 00:00:34.740
 who was with child.

00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:38.920
 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:43.719
 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.920
 and laid him in a manger because there was no place for them in the inn.

00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.620
 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field keeping watch over their flock by night,

00:00:54.619 --> 00:00:58.699
 and an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them,

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:00.500
 and they were filled with great fear.

00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:01.719
 And the angel said to them,

00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:09.439
 Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:15.719
 For unto you is born this day in the city of David our Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:16.280
 Let's pray.

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:21.599
 God, we thank you so much, Lord Jesus, for taking on flesh,

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.320
 for remaining in fleshed,

00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.200
 for coming back in fleshed.

00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:31.519
 God, would you bless our time in your word tonight?

00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:33.439
 In Jesus' name, amen.

00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:37.599
 Tonight I want to say to you,

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:38.400
 Fear not,

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:44.840
 For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people

00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.080
 that Jesus is coming back again.

00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:55.280
 We are living in between the advents,

00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.380
 the first coming of Jesus Christ and the second coming of Jesus Christ,

00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.020
 and in between the advents.

00:02:03.019 --> 00:02:05.439
 If you've got any time on this planet,

00:02:05.679 --> 00:02:09.840
 you know we experience both the goodness of God

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.799
 and the hardness of sin.

00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:15.859
 Sin affecting our relationship with God.

00:02:16.079 --> 00:02:18.000
 Sin affecting our perception of ourselves.

00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:20.079
 Sin affecting our relationship with others.

00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:23.400
 Sin affecting our relationship with a creation

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.099
 that is now a threat.

00:02:26.099 --> 00:02:29.099
 Sin affecting our relationship with a person.

00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:33.099
 It's good to look back on Christ's first advent.

00:02:34.359 --> 00:02:36.159
 Just think of Luke 1 and 2.

00:02:36.359 --> 00:02:39.500
 Think of all the little vignettes of people

00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:43.120
 building in anticipation of Christ coming as a man.

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.659
 Zachariah, Mary, Elizabeth,

00:02:47.079 --> 00:02:49.159
 the shepherds out in the field by night,

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.120
 the multitude of angelic hosts

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.759
 singing glory to God in the highest,

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:55.039
 peace to men.

00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.340
 And then there was Simeon and Anna

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.120
 who had lived long lives

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.139
 and they were waiting to see the Christ.

00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:18.340
 There is much anticipation leading up to Christ's first advent

00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.500
 when God took on flesh

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:26.800
 and he walked this sin-hardened planet.

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:29.780
 And he walked it

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:31.980
 to live a perfect life,

00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:32.939
 die as a substitute,

00:03:33.140 --> 00:03:34.200
 been raised from the dead

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:37.780
 in order to reclaim this for himself.

00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:45.020
 There is this similar building of anticipation

00:03:45.020 --> 00:03:48.819
 leading to Christ's second advent.

00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.800
 This Christmas time,

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.020
 we have been purposefully looking forward

00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:56.139
 to the second advent

00:03:56.139 --> 00:03:59.379
 of the incarnate King, Jesus.

00:03:59.379 --> 00:04:04.120
 And so I just want to remind you

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.579
 of some of the ground we've covered.

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.819
 Early in December, on the 8th,

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:13.539
 we asked if we're living between the advents,

00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:15.240
 between the first coming

00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:16.579
 and the second coming of Jesus,

00:04:17.459 --> 00:04:18.879
 where is Jesus now

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:19.659
 and what is he doing?

00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:22.640
 Well, according to our Bibles,

00:04:22.820 --> 00:04:25.960
 Jesus, after he died on the cross

00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:27.200
 and was raised from the dead,

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:29.620
 he ascended to the right hand of God

00:04:29.620 --> 00:04:31.000
 and he sat down.

00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:33.920
 And he's presently seated

00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.020
 at the right hand of God

00:04:35.020 --> 00:04:37.160
 and all things have been put under his feet.

00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:39.240
 So where is Jesus right now?

00:04:39.300 --> 00:04:40.800
 He is in heaven at the right hand of God.

00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:43.540
 What is he doing?

00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:43.580
 What is he doing?

00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:49.379
 He's upholding his creation

00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:50.759
 with the word of his power.

00:04:51.219 --> 00:04:51.699
 Hebrew 1.

00:04:53.099 --> 00:04:55.759
 He's expanding his kingdom of grace.

00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:57.539
 He said in Matthew 16,

00:04:58.919 --> 00:05:00.219
 I will build my church

00:05:00.219 --> 00:05:01.500
 and the gates of Hades

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:02.860
 will not prevail against it.

00:05:04.799 --> 00:05:09.120
 He is receiving his due praise.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.319
 Have you read the book of Revelation?

00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.279
 It is one big praise manual.

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.420
 And he is awaiting his return.

00:05:21.159 --> 00:05:23.779
 In Matthew 24 and Revelation 22,

00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.000
 he speaks of his coming back.

00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:30.159
 In fact, in Revelation 22,

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:32.459
 he says three times,

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:34.959
 I am coming soon.

00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:38.920
 So Jesus is right now

00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.219
 at the right hand of God.

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:41.980
 And then on the 15th,

00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:42.640
 we asked,

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:45.680
 when and how

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.220
 will Jesus come back?

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:54.360
 When will the incarnate king come again?

00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:55.980
 And what will that be like?

00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.680
 Well, when it comes to the when question,

00:06:00.340 --> 00:06:02.060
 Jesus himself addressed that

00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:03.560
 in Matthew 24, 36.

00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:04.420
 And he said,

00:06:05.380 --> 00:06:07.880
 no one knows the day or the hour,

00:06:08.020 --> 00:06:09.820
 not the angels nor the sun,

00:06:09.819 --> 00:06:11.219
 only the father.

00:06:11.459 --> 00:06:13.439
 So the time that Jesus spoke that,

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:15.040
 only the father knew

00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.139
 the day and hour of his return,

00:06:18.379 --> 00:06:20.219
 which means this for us.

00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.860
 We know he's coming back.

00:06:23.659 --> 00:06:25.180
 We just don't know when.

00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:28.379
 His return is promised,

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:29.779
 yet unexpected.

00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:33.860
 And that puts us in a state of suspense,

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:37.000
 a suspenseful anticipation

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.699
 of seeing Jesus again.

00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.500
 And we must be ready for his return.

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.900
 When Jesus spoke about that in Matthew 24,

00:06:47.180 --> 00:06:49.819
 the first way he illustrated is that,

00:06:49.900 --> 00:06:50.180
 is like,

00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:51.300
 remember the days of Noah?

00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:55.939
 When everybody was getting married

00:06:55.939 --> 00:06:56.800
 and giving in marriage,

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.400
 and they were not ready,

00:06:58.399 --> 00:06:59.979
 they were not aware

00:06:59.979 --> 00:07:01.859
 that the promised flood

00:07:01.859 --> 00:07:03.359
 was coming unexpectedly,

00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:05.159
 but Noah and his family were ready.

00:07:10.799 --> 00:07:12.519
 In Matthew 24, 30,

00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:13.899
 Jesus then tells us,

00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:14.839
 he tells us how

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:16.019
 he's going to come back.

00:07:17.139 --> 00:07:18.579
 He's promised he will,

00:07:18.659 --> 00:07:19.519
 we don't know when,

00:07:19.719 --> 00:07:21.399
 and then he tells us how

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:26.179
 he will come back visibly

00:07:26.179 --> 00:07:28.699
 on that day.

00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.759
 All the nations will see him.

00:07:32.599 --> 00:07:34.479
 He will come back bodily.

00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:36.019
 He'll come back incarnate.

00:07:36.359 --> 00:07:38.159
 Just as the second person

00:07:38.159 --> 00:07:38.759
 of the Trinity

00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.199
 took on flesh

00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:41.239
 and was incarnated

00:07:41.239 --> 00:07:43.239
 and lived an incarnate life

00:07:43.239 --> 00:07:45.519
 and died incarnate on the cross

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.339
 and then was raised incarnate

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:48.039
 from the dead

00:07:48.039 --> 00:07:49.979
 and then ascended incarnate

00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:50.859
 to the right hand of God

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:51.860
 where he reigns right now,

00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:53.960
 he's going to come back incarnate.

00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:56.520
 Bodily.

00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.080
 And when he comes back bodily,

00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:01.680
 he's coming back gloriously.

00:08:03.900 --> 00:08:06.319
 With power and great glory,

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.180
 says Jesus himself.

00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:12.100
 It will be a brilliant spectacle.

00:08:12.340 --> 00:08:14.480
 Just think about his transfiguration.

00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.560
 Just think about Revelation 1

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.840
 and this vision that John has

00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.519
 of this risen,

00:08:21.819 --> 00:08:22.099
 reigning,

00:08:22.259 --> 00:08:23.060
 and radiant Jesus.

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:25.319
 Just think of Revelation 19

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.079
 of this one on a white horse

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.500
 whose eyes are ablaze.

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.360
 He's coming back.

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.679
 He's coming back in glory.

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:38.319
 And when he comes back,

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:39.100
 he's going to be

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:40.860
 coming back provocatively.

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.939
 All the nations on the planet,

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:45.139
 everyone will respond

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.019
 in one of two ways.

00:08:46.019 --> 00:08:47.919
 You will either wail

00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:48.980
 at his coming.

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.740
 You'll mourn at his coming

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:52.279
 because you know

00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:53.899
 who he is

00:08:53.899 --> 00:08:55.000
 and why he's come

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:55.919
 and you're not ready.

00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:58.439
 Or you will rejoice

00:08:58.439 --> 00:09:00.220
 and you will worship

00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:02.220
 because your name

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:04.240
 is in the Lamb's book of life.

00:09:04.319 --> 00:09:05.939
 You've put your faith in him

00:09:05.939 --> 00:09:07.699
 and he has rescued you

00:09:07.699 --> 00:09:08.579
 from your sins.

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:12.840
 So though we don't know

00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:14.440
 when he will return,

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:15.840
 we know he will return

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.900
 and he will return

00:09:16.900 --> 00:09:18.420
 in all of his glory

00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:19.360
 for all to see

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:20.360
 and so we've got to be ready.

00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:21.940
 We've got to stay awake.

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:23.540
 We've got to be faithful

00:09:23.540 --> 00:09:24.800
 because our master's gone

00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:25.780
 but he's going to come back

00:09:25.780 --> 00:09:27.379
 on an undisclosed time.

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:31.440
 This past Sunday,

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:32.560
 we asked the question,

00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:35.560
 what will the incarnate King Jesus

00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.359
 do when he returns?

00:09:38.439 --> 00:09:39.759
 What will happen then?

00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:42.000
 And we looked at

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.979
 Matthew 24 and 25.

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:45.479
 We looked at Revelation 20,

00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:46.479
 21 and 22

00:09:46.479 --> 00:09:47.879
 and what we know

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:48.839
 from those passages

00:09:48.839 --> 00:09:51.279
 is that when Jesus comes back,

00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.859
 he will gather all.

00:09:54.579 --> 00:09:56.259
 And when we read that

00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.019
 in our Bibles,

00:09:57.199 --> 00:09:58.479
 that gathering of all

00:09:58.479 --> 00:10:00.099
 is not just all the people

00:10:00.099 --> 00:10:00.779
 on the planet

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:02.379
 at the time of his return.

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:03.899
 It's all people

00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:04.939
 who've ever lived

00:10:04.939 --> 00:10:05.720
 on the planet

00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:06.840
 for all time.

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:09.559
 There will be this great,

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.139
 the resurrection

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:13.159
 of the last day

00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:14.439
 and all will be gathered

00:10:14.439 --> 00:10:15.600
 around his throne.

00:10:17.539 --> 00:10:18.919
 He will gather all

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.659
 and then he will judge all.

00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:22.720
 In Matthew 25

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:23.779
 and Revelation 20,

00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:25.980
 there's this great throne

00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:28.220
 with Jesus sitting on it

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:29.720
 and books are open

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.379
 and he separates people,

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:33.200
 all people from all time

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.259
 as the sheeps

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:34.879
 from the goats.

00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:38.360
 Casting those

00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.240
 who have not believed

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:39.740
 in him

00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:41.399
 into eternal punishment

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:42.580
 and those who do believe

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:42.840
 in him,

00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:43.360
 he welcomes

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.320
 into the new Jerusalem.

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:49.700
 And following the judgment,

00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:51.220
 he will restore all.

00:10:54.220 --> 00:10:55.320
 And that is going

00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:56.220
 to be phenomenal.

00:10:56.220 --> 00:11:02.100
 As far as the curse

00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:03.860
 is found,

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.980
 he will make

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:10.000
 all things new.

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.600
 Full,

00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:12.860
 final,

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:14.320
 forever peace.

00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:15.660
 Forever shalom.

00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:17.240
 Not just the absence

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.019
 of hostility,

00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:18.720
 it's the fullness

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.580
 of God's good.

00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:21.040
 Good with your relationship

00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:21.600
 with God.

00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:22.639
 Good in your relationship

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.200
 with yourself.

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.399
 Good in your relationship

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:25.419
 with everybody else.

00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:26.740
 Good in relationship

00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:28.179
 with all of creation.

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.860
 It is this comprehensive

00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:32.860
 restoration

00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:34.559
 of all things.

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.220
 And only he can do it.

00:11:40.939 --> 00:11:42.559
 And then if that's not enough,

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.419
 he will reign

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:48.199
 forever and ever

00:11:48.199 --> 00:11:51.039
 with us.

00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.579
 all whose names

00:11:52.579 --> 00:11:53.419
 are in the Lamb's book

00:11:53.419 --> 00:11:53.879
 of life

00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:55.219
 on the new earth.

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.339
 We will be in his presence.

00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.539
 We will see his face.

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:01.159
 We will feel his hand

00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.379
 wipe away our tear

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:05.379
 in his presence,

00:12:05.939 --> 00:12:06.819
 with his people,

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.579
 in his place.

00:12:11.219 --> 00:12:11.860
 So do you know

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:12.319
 what that means

00:12:12.319 --> 00:12:13.000
 for us now

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.000
 living in between

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.179
 the Advents?

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:16.899
 We take courage

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:19.299
 because even though

00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:20.259
 this life

00:12:20.259 --> 00:12:21.100
 is both good

00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:22.419
 and so hard

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:23.539
 at the same time,

00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:24.319
 we know we're

00:12:24.319 --> 00:12:25.059
 one day closer.

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.679
 One day closer.

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.620
 On that day,

00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.299
 he will make all wrongs

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.139
 right at the judgment.

00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:37.259
 And then he will make

00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:38.419
 all things new

00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:40.120
 as the creator of all.

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:44.500
 For the last few weeks

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.159
 in December,

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:46.079
 we have covered

00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:46.839
 a lot of

00:12:46.839 --> 00:12:49.679
 Second Advent ground.

00:12:51.219 --> 00:12:52.000
 Because I've been

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.719
 wanting to get

00:12:52.719 --> 00:12:53.839
 into your mind

00:12:53.839 --> 00:12:54.759
 something that's going

00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.299
 to be in your mind

00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:58.199
 after the Christmas season.

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:00.639
 That you will have

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.199
 a hope

00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:03.539
 going into January

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.139
 and February

00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:04.939
 and March.

00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.740
 Now I can imagine

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:09.559
 many parents

00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:10.620
 of young children

00:13:10.620 --> 00:13:11.079
 tonight

00:13:11.079 --> 00:13:12.079
 having a particular

00:13:12.079 --> 00:13:13.319
 kind of conversation.

00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.580
 they're going

00:13:16.580 --> 00:13:17.340
 to repeat

00:13:17.340 --> 00:13:18.460
 some instructions

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:19.840
 before bedtime

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.420
 tonight.

00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:22.520
 And they're

00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:23.180
 going to repeat

00:13:23.180 --> 00:13:24.140
 this for emphasis.

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:24.820
 It's going to go

00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:25.600
 something like this.

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:28.180
 Okay kids,

00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:28.860
 tomorrow morning

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:29.220
 is going to be

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:29.700
 super fun.

00:13:31.140 --> 00:13:32.060
 We are going

00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:33.379
 to exchange

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:33.960
 gifts

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:35.220
 and we're going

00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:36.000
 to give each other

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:36.400
 presents

00:13:36.400 --> 00:13:36.900
 and we're going

00:13:36.900 --> 00:13:37.520
 to give each other

00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:38.220
 gifts and presents

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:39.500
 because God

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.300
 has given

00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:41.419
 the greatest gift

00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:42.819
 in Jesus Christ

00:13:42.819 --> 00:13:44.079
 to us.

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.819
 But don't forget

00:13:46.819 --> 00:13:49.279
 you must stay

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:49.740
 in your room

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:50.519
 until 7am.

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.559
 Let me just

00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.359
 repeat that for you.

00:13:59.419 --> 00:14:00.759
 You can't go

00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:01.539
 downstairs

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:03.299
 until 7am.

00:14:03.939 --> 00:14:04.399
 You've got to stay

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:04.799
 in your room.

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.879
 You know what?

00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.799
 You tell me kids.

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:11.399
 What time

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:11.879
 can you come

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:12.379
 downstairs?

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.659
 7am?

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:17.639
 In a similar

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.120
 way

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.939
 at the end

00:14:19.939 --> 00:14:20.320
 of the book

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:21.360
 of Revelation

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.200
 the very last

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:22.960
 book of the Bible

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.039
 Jesus

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.740
 repeats

00:14:25.740 --> 00:14:26.379
 something

00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:28.120
 for emphasis

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:30.200
 just like

00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:30.639
 a parent

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:31.039
 repeating

00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.600
 themselves

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.139
 to prepare

00:14:32.139 --> 00:14:32.919
 their kids

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:33.440
 for Christmas

00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:34.019
 morning.

00:14:34.659 --> 00:14:35.659
 Our risen

00:14:35.659 --> 00:14:36.620
 king repeats

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.740
 something for us

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.720
 to prepare us

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.379
 for the second

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:39.799
 advent.

00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:40.320
 And you know

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:40.820
 what it is?

00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:42.560
 Three times

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:43.600
 in Revelation

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.159
 22

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:44.960
 Jesus says

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.560
 I am coming

00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:47.179
 soon.

00:14:49.340 --> 00:14:49.980
 Revelation

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:50.820
 chapter 22

00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:51.419
 verse 7

00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:51.960
 behold I'm

00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:52.700
 coming soon.

00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:53.980
 Revelation

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:54.519
 22

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.240
 verse 12

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:55.799
 behold I'm

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:56.740
 coming soon.

00:14:57.580 --> 00:14:58.019
 Revelation

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:58.940
 chapter 22

00:14:58.940 --> 00:14:59.759
 verse 20

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.740
 surely

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:02.899
 amen

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:04.560
 verily

00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.539
 I am

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:07.119
 coming

00:15:07.119 --> 00:15:08.719
 soon.

00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.219
 He wants

00:15:11.219 --> 00:15:11.979
 us

00:15:11.979 --> 00:15:12.939
 his people

00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:13.879
 to be

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.479
 knowing

00:15:14.479 --> 00:15:15.479
 and banking

00:15:15.479 --> 00:15:16.379
 on that

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:16.859
 he is

00:15:16.859 --> 00:15:17.279
 coming

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:18.019
 soon

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.079
 soon

00:15:19.079 --> 00:15:20.279
 soon

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.199
 I know

00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:21.399
 what you're

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:21.619
 thinking.

00:15:26.619 --> 00:15:27.859
 Didn't

00:15:27.859 --> 00:15:28.419
 Jesus say

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:28.899
 that 2,000

00:15:28.899 --> 00:15:29.279
 years ago?

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:35.240
 2,000

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:35.519
 years

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:35.860
 isn't

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:36.600
 what I'd

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:37.000
 consider

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:37.459
 soon.

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:39.539
 That's

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:39.980
 a really

00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:40.699
 long

00:15:40.699 --> 00:15:41.199
 soon.

00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:46.379
 Has

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.620
 anybody

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:46.939
 else

00:15:46.939 --> 00:15:47.259
 asked that

00:15:47.259 --> 00:15:47.579
 question?

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:50.059
 Jesus

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:51.519
 why do

00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:52.079
 you wait?

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:55.259
 Why do

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:55.819
 you tarry?

00:15:55.820 --> 00:15:57.940
 the apostle

00:15:57.940 --> 00:15:58.320
 Peter

00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:58.960
 addresses

00:15:58.960 --> 00:15:59.520
 that

00:15:59.520 --> 00:15:59.960
 very

00:15:59.960 --> 00:16:00.520
 question

00:16:00.520 --> 00:16:00.940
 in 2

00:16:00.940 --> 00:16:01.520
 Peter 3

00:16:01.520 --> 00:16:04.500
 of why

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:05.520
 Jesus

00:16:05.520 --> 00:16:06.460
 hasn't

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:06.820
 come

00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:07.240
 yet.

00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:07.640
 And this

00:16:07.640 --> 00:16:07.879
 is what

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.280
 he says.

00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:08.760
 He gives

00:16:08.760 --> 00:16:09.340
 two reasons.

00:16:10.740 --> 00:16:11.080
 He says

00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:11.820
 first consider

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.240
 this

00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.020
 with the

00:16:13.020 --> 00:16:13.260
 Lord

00:16:13.260 --> 00:16:13.760
 one day

00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:14.580
 as a

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:14.840
 thousand

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:15.160
 years

00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:15.420
 and a

00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:15.680
 thousand

00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:16.040
 years

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:16.740
 as one

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:16.940
 day.

00:16:17.020 --> 00:16:17.320
 So why

00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:17.620
 hasn't

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:17.820
 Jesus

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:18.100
 come

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:18.340
 back

00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:18.540
 yet?

00:16:19.020 --> 00:16:19.420
 Why

00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:19.780
 is it?

00:16:19.880 --> 00:16:20.060
 It's

00:16:20.060 --> 00:16:20.240
 been

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.700
 2,000

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:21.040
 years.

00:16:21.420 --> 00:16:21.620
 The

00:16:21.620 --> 00:16:21.940
 answer

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:22.260
 the

00:16:22.260 --> 00:16:22.540
 first

00:16:22.540 --> 00:16:23.000
 reason

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:23.400
 is

00:16:23.400 --> 00:16:24.160
 well

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.159
 Jesus

00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:25.399
 is

00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:25.539
 on

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:25.740
 God

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:26.000
 time.

00:16:27.339 --> 00:16:27.819
 His

00:16:27.819 --> 00:16:28.100
 timing

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.279
 is

00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:28.439
 not

00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:28.620
 our

00:16:28.620 --> 00:16:28.919
 timing.

00:16:29.939 --> 00:16:30.419
 2,000

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:30.620
 years

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:31.019
 to us

00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:31.199
 seems

00:16:31.199 --> 00:16:31.480
 like a

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:31.699
 long

00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:32.059
 time.

00:16:32.459 --> 00:16:32.659
 To

00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:33.519
 Christ

00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:33.939
 it's

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:34.240
 nothing.

00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:38.399
 His

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:38.600
 timing

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:38.899
 is not

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.079
 our

00:16:39.079 --> 00:16:39.480
 timing.

00:16:40.819 --> 00:16:40.959
 But

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:42.019
 I want

00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:42.179
 to let

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:42.319
 you know

00:16:42.319 --> 00:16:42.500
 there's

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:42.740
 another

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:43.100
 reason

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:44.480
 why

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:44.719
 he

00:16:44.719 --> 00:16:45.259
 is

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:45.639
 apparently

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.159
 delayed.

00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:48.279
 There's

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:48.579
 another

00:16:48.579 --> 00:16:48.899
 reason

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:49.519
 for this

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:49.980
 long

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:50.620
 soon

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.259
 that

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:51.399
 we're

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:51.620
 living

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:51.879
 in

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.799
 in

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:53.039
 between

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.240
 the

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:53.699
 advents.

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.679
 And

00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:56.899
 that's

00:16:56.899 --> 00:16:57.139
 found

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:57.319
 in

00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:57.480
 2

00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:57.759
 Peter

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.019
 3

00:16:58.019 --> 00:16:58.319
 9.

00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:02.419
 The

00:17:02.419 --> 00:17:02.620
 Lord

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:02.819
 is

00:17:02.819 --> 00:17:03.019
 not

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:03.480
 slow

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:03.699
 to

00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:04.019
 fulfill

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.240
 his

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.819
 promise

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.039
 as

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:05.259
 some

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:05.559
 count

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.119
 slowness

00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:06.819
 and

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:06.960
 the

00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.319
 promise

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:07.539
 he's

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:07.819
 speaking

00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:08.039
 of

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.159
 is

00:17:08.159 --> 00:17:08.339
 the

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:08.759
 return

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:08.960
 of

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.440
 Jesus.

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.680
 The

00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:11.819
 Lord

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:11.980
 is

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:12.159
 not

00:17:12.159 --> 00:17:12.619
 slow

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:12.839
 to

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.119
 fulfill

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.299
 his

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:13.659
 promise

00:17:13.659 --> 00:17:13.819
 of

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:14.059
 coming

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:14.339
 back

00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:14.480
 as

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:14.680
 some

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:14.899
 count

00:17:14.899 --> 00:17:15.420
 slowness

00:17:15.420 --> 00:17:16.519
 but

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:16.779
 is

00:17:16.779 --> 00:17:17.180
 patient

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:17.559
 toward

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:17.960
 you.

00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:20.019
 All

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:20.159
 of

00:17:20.159 --> 00:17:20.319
 his

00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:20.659
 elect

00:17:20.659 --> 00:17:21.259
 all

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:21.500
 of

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:21.680
 his

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:21.960
 blood

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.200
 bought

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:22.720
 all

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:22.899
 who

00:17:22.899 --> 00:17:23.019
 would

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:23.259
 one

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.399
 day

00:17:23.399 --> 00:17:23.740
 believe

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:23.899
 in

00:17:23.899 --> 00:17:24.079
 him

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:24.600
 he's

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:25.080
 not

00:17:25.080 --> 00:17:26.220
 slow

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:29.540
 but

00:17:29.540 --> 00:17:29.740
 is

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:30.400
 patient

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:32.160
 toward

00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.480
 you.

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.820
 Not

00:17:34.820 --> 00:17:35.220
 wishing

00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:35.500
 that

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:35.900
 any

00:17:35.900 --> 00:17:36.200
 should

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:36.540
 perish.

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.019
 He

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.259
 doesn't

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:37.440
 want

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:37.940
 any

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:38.220
 of

00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:38.400
 his

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:38.700
 blood

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:38.920
 bought

00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:39.120
 to

00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:39.460
 perish.

00:17:39.940 --> 00:17:40.320
 Rather

00:17:40.320 --> 00:17:41.720
 he

00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:41.980
 wants

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:42.680
 all

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.480
 coming

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:43.720
 to

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.300
 repentance.

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:46.500
 All

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:47.000
 coming

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.200
 to

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.440
 know

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:47.779
 him.

00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:53.420
 What

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:53.580
 we're

00:17:53.580 --> 00:17:53.920
 learning

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:54.460
 is

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:54.880
 he

00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:55.060
 will

00:17:55.060 --> 00:17:55.259
 not

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:55.480
 let
