1
00:01:14,216 --> 00:01:16,866
And welcome back this week.

2
00:01:16,916 --> 00:01:20,200
I know we had a off week last week, and I've

3
00:01:21,233 --> 00:01:24,583
 been a little lackadaisical about getting the episodes uploaded,

4
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:27,950
 so we actually missed the upload the week before that, so that's

5
00:01:27,966 --> 00:01:32,216
 okay, because that means we right back on track to post after tonight.

6
00:01:32,283 --> 00:01:35,283
Just everybody that listens

7
00:01:35,283 --> 00:01:38,283
 off of the live or off of Rumble just got

8
00:01:38,283 --> 00:01:41,216
 a different day where they missed an episode.

9
00:01:41,283 --> 00:01:43,383
I guarantee you won't be fired.

10
00:01:43,433 --> 00:01:47,266
No, you got job security.

11
00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:51,583
Brother Dennis, how we doing today?

12
00:01:51,666 --> 00:01:53,099
Man, I'm doing good.

13
00:01:53,166 --> 00:01:54,966
I pulled a tree stump today?

14
00:01:55,016 --> 00:01:56,933
I hear y'all talking about Mondays.

15
00:01:57,066 --> 00:01:58,566
I'm like man, I don't miss it.

16
00:01:58,616 --> 00:02:01,666
I might on my track,

17
00:02:01,683 --> 00:02:02,750
 you're pulling a tree stone.

18
00:02:02,816 --> 00:02:04,016
That's awesome.

19
00:02:04,083 --> 00:02:06,483
And if it don't come up today, you can get it tomorrow, right?

20
00:02:06,533 --> 00:02:07,066
That's right.

21
00:02:07,133 --> 00:02:09,766
I've been working the past few days getting 2 tree stumps out.

22
00:02:09,833 --> 00:02:11,199
I need a bulldozer.

23
00:02:11,283 --> 00:02:11,750
That's what I need

24
00:02:11,883 --> 00:02:12,483
Yeah.

25
00:02:12,483 --> 00:02:13,250
I need a bulldog.

26
00:02:13,316 --> 00:02:13,849
I think so.

27
00:02:13,916 --> 00:02:15,466
I think we'll talk to Diane about that.

28
00:02:15,533 --> 00:02:15,949
I think.

29
00:02:16,016 --> 00:02:16,366
Yeah.

30
00:02:16,433 --> 00:02:17,683
I think she'll go for.

31
00:02:17,766 --> 00:02:18,716
I think she'll be safe.

32
00:02:18,783 --> 00:02:21,483
I'm sure she can come up with some uses for it that you haven't thought of.

33
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:22,900
Oh, yeah.

34
00:02:23,716 --> 00:02:24,533
Yeah probably so.

35
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:26,633
And now he's going, wait a minute, I might not need it.

36
00:02:26,699 --> 00:02:29,933
How about you, brother Brian?

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,533
How you doing?

38
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:32,400
Well, I'm good.

39
00:02:32,466 --> 00:02:35,766
I'm already told y'all I'm I

40
00:02:35,766 --> 00:02:37,500
 don't know if I'm washing or hanging out.

41
00:02:37,566 --> 00:02:38,966
So, you know, whatever.

42
00:02:40,266 --> 00:02:43,566
But yeah, just one

43
00:02:43,566 --> 00:02:46,383
 of those crazy days and I've been running all day long.

44
00:02:46,433 --> 00:02:48,533
So, but it's good to be here.

45
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:51,716
Good to sit down and and just

46
00:02:51,716 --> 00:02:53,683
 jump into God's word.

47
00:02:53,816 --> 00:02:55,616
Yeah, it is.

48
00:02:55,683 --> 00:02:57,116
It's really good.

49
00:02:57,233 --> 00:03:00,283
Pick him back up where we left off in Revelation.

50
00:03:00,366 --> 00:03:04,016
Uh, random news from from outside of all this.

51
00:03:04,083 --> 00:03:07,016
We had another weekend of No Kings protests.

52
00:03:07,083 --> 00:03:08,750
And, hey, they did a great job.

53
00:03:08,766 --> 00:03:10,983
We still don't have a king here in America.

54
00:03:11,033 --> 00:03:12,233
I'm impressed.

55
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:12,949
So good job, guys.

56
00:03:13,016 --> 00:03:13,366
Yeah.

57
00:03:13,383 --> 00:03:16,683
I laugh

58
00:03:16,683 --> 00:03:20,583
 about that every single time and I always get a kick out of it.

59
00:03:20,633 --> 00:03:21,583
And I do.

60
00:03:21,650 --> 00:03:24,650
I'm glad people are getting out and feel

61
00:03:24,650 --> 00:03:27,583
 like they we live in a free enough country then go out and say some.

62
00:03:27,666 --> 00:03:28,083
That's true.

63
00:03:28,083 --> 00:03:28,733
Pretty crazy.

64
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,750
Ridiculous as it may be.

65
00:03:29,816 --> 00:03:31,250
Yeah, as ridiculous it is.

66
00:03:31,316 --> 00:03:32,933
I'm glad they're doing it because that is.

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,866
It's a very good sign for us that we're able to do that.

68
00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:38,150
And I'm grateful that we live in a country where they can.

69
00:03:38,216 --> 00:03:41,816
So whether I agree with them or not, hey, good job.

70
00:03:41,883 --> 00:03:42,900
We still don't have a king.

71
00:03:42,966 --> 00:03:46,800
Um, the, another random thing.

72
00:03:46,866 --> 00:03:50,516
It's not hugely important, especially to most Christians,

73
00:03:50,516 --> 00:03:53,750
 because we have a tendency to err on the side of doing everything

74
00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:58,133
 possible to make sure we don't even come close to crossing any laws.

75
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,250
Uh, but, uh, the Alabama Supreme Court weighed

76
00:04:01,266 --> 00:04:04,433
 in on a fun case a couple of weeks ago, and finally,

77
00:04:04,433 --> 00:04:07,849
 all the details came out with it, um, where they modified

78
00:04:07,866 --> 00:04:10,916
 uh, Alabama 15, 530 , what most people call

79
00:04:10,916 --> 00:04:12,349
 the stop and identify statute.

80
00:04:12,416 --> 00:04:14,150
It's actually the stopping question.

81
00:04:14,283 --> 00:04:18,233
We don't have a actual identify statute, but they tie it into that.

82
00:04:18,366 --> 00:04:21,533
Um, where, uh, a pastor

83
00:04:21,533 --> 00:04:24,533
 actually got arrested down in Childersburg, uh, a couple years

84
00:04:24,533 --> 00:04:27,833
 ago, uh, because he went over to water his neighbor's

85
00:04:27,833 --> 00:04:30,833
 plants and uh, one of the other neighbors saw this

86
00:04:30,833 --> 00:04:34,183
 random person, while this person they knew was on vacation, was gone,

87
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:37,250
 and this guy walking around his house, so they just call the police

88
00:04:37,266 --> 00:04:41,033
 on him instead of, you know, opening the door and being like, hey, who are you?

89
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,433
What are you doing at my neighbor's house while they're on vacation?

90
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,899
called the police on the poor guy.

91
00:04:45,966 --> 00:04:49,199
And when they showed up, he explained, you know, I'm

92
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:52,199
 Pastor Jennings from so-and-so Baptist Church, and I

93
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:55,250
 live cross the road over here, and, you know, this guy goes church with me and

94
00:04:55,266 --> 00:04:57,533
 asked me to check on his house, water his plants.

95
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,300
He says as he's standing there with a water hose in his hand, watering his plants.

96
00:05:00,416 --> 00:05:03,766
And he asked me to do that while he was on vacation and

97
00:05:03,783 --> 00:05:07,616
 the police, you know, as police officers often do.

98
00:05:07,683 --> 00:05:08,633
Hey, we need to see your ID.

99
00:05:08,699 --> 00:05:09,899
And he's like, oh, hang on.

100
00:05:09,966 --> 00:05:13,266
that's not and before he even gets to finish his statement.

101
00:05:13,316 --> 00:05:15,883
They grab him, throw him to the ground, slap him in cuss.

102
00:05:15,966 --> 00:05:18,966
one of the most amazing body cam videos

103
00:05:18,966 --> 00:05:21,600
 I've ever seen because like he was so calm.

104
00:05:21,666 --> 00:05:22,916
And of course, they do that.

105
00:05:22,983 --> 00:05:23,949
he's like, what are you doing?

106
00:05:24,233 --> 00:05:27,949
Well, it all got tossed almost immediately.

107
00:05:28,016 --> 00:05:31,550
Well, of course, there's a lawsuit following it and everything, and the

108
00:05:31,566 --> 00:05:34,383
 police union, of course, argued, but, well, no, they can't be sued.

109
00:05:34,433 --> 00:05:35,683
They have qualified immunity for this.

110
00:05:35,766 --> 00:05:37,616
They didn't do anything wrong.

111
00:05:37,683 --> 00:05:40,500
They had no way of knowing they weren't allowed to demand his ID.

112
00:05:40,566 --> 00:05:43,866
Uh, completely ignoring the case in 2019

113
00:05:43,866 --> 00:05:47,283
 from Huntsville, where the federal appeals court

114
00:05:47,283 --> 00:05:50,283
 said, no, our law doesn't allow that, its name, address,

115
00:05:50,283 --> 00:05:52,949
 and explanation of your actions, and that's it.

116
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:56,566
And so they go and they make the arguments in front of the Supreme Court.

117
00:05:56,633 --> 00:05:57,533
I'm going to tell you something.

118
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,399
I would love to be a Supreme Court judge.

119
00:05:59,466 --> 00:06:02,466
Not only do you get to pick which

120
00:06:02,466 --> 00:06:05,633
 cases you listen to, even the Alabama Supreme Court,

121
00:06:05,633 --> 00:06:09,766
 you get to choose whether or not you even hear the case, you just, you can turn them down.

122
00:06:09,833 --> 00:06:13,600
Also, they can decide what question's being asked.

123
00:06:13,683 --> 00:06:15,116
I was completely unaware of this.

124
00:06:15,183 --> 00:06:15,783
It was amazing.

125
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:19,899
So the question that was asked was, um,

126
00:06:19,916 --> 00:06:22,966
 well, yeah, but they have to be able to demand

127
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:26,933
 ID because it's illegal to give a false identity to police.

128
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,649
Well, how else can they know if they can't demand your ID randomly?

129
00:06:30,716 --> 00:06:33,716
And well, the Supreme Court basically laughed at that and went,

130
00:06:33,716 --> 00:06:35,083
 um, yeah, that's not how that works.

131
00:06:35,166 --> 00:06:37,983
You have to have some kind of suspicion that they're giving false information.

132
00:06:38,033 --> 00:06:41,033
But if you had asked an intelligent question, the question you

133
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:44,266
 would have asked would have been, um, did they have the right to

134
00:06:44,283 --> 00:06:47,449
 demand his driver's license or some form of ID,

135
00:06:47,466 --> 00:06:51,066
 since he didn't actually give his full name and address, because his

136
00:06:51,066 --> 00:06:54,066
 name was given as Pastor Jennings, and I

137
00:06:54,066 --> 00:06:57,066
 live across the street over there, as he vaguely

138
00:06:57,066 --> 00:07:01,083
 gestures, because he has a water hose in his hand and he doesn't want to spray the cops with water.

139
00:07:01,083 --> 00:07:04,083
And the answer, by the way, is yes.

140
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:07,133
At that point they can now say, no,

141
00:07:07,133 --> 00:07:08,266
 no, no, that wasn't good enough.

142
00:07:08,283 --> 00:07:10,133
You have to now present something.

143
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:13,733
Um, and that was the decision, um, unanimously

144
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:15,766
 from from our Supreme Court in Alabama.

145
00:07:15,833 --> 00:07:18,833
Though I will say, if you have a chance to go

146
00:07:18,833 --> 00:07:22,183
 look that one up, it's Jennings B. Smith is the case, and

147
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:25,199
 you ever want a fun read, read the opinions of those

148
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:28,199
 Supreme Court justices because there's like, I think we have

149
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,733
 9 justices on the Supreme Court at the state level as

150
00:07:31,733 --> 00:07:34,899
 well, and they were actually split

151
00:07:34,916 --> 00:07:37,133
 on some of the details of that case.

152
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:41,033
Um, because one of the Supreme Court just said, well,

153
00:07:41,033 --> 00:07:44,266
 yeah, you just, I mean, they get to decide how you deliver the information to

154
00:07:44,283 --> 00:07:47,816
 them, and literally all of the other justices went, no.

155
00:07:47,883 --> 00:07:51,183
And just disagreed with the poor guy.

156
00:07:51,466 --> 00:07:52,866
And he was like, why not?

157
00:07:52,916 --> 00:07:54,716
And they're like, because that's not how it works.

158
00:07:54,783 --> 00:07:58,500
We, we have a, you know, we have specificity here.

159
00:07:58,566 --> 00:08:01,733
So, uh, just just in case you're

160
00:08:01,733 --> 00:08:04,733
 ever wondering, um, and the other thing that came, of course, with the

161
00:08:04,733 --> 00:08:07,733
 justices was the decision of,

162
00:08:07,733 --> 00:08:10,733
 was it an order or a request, because that actually makes a

163
00:08:10,733 --> 00:08:13,850
 difference, because a request you were free to deny, but in

164
00:08:13,866 --> 00:08:16,083
 order, you have to follow or you go to jail.

165
00:08:16,133 --> 00:08:19,300
And the reason that that's actually a

166
00:08:19,316 --> 00:08:23,083
 big deal is a lot of times the police unions,

167
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:26,216
 especially if somebody messes up, will say, oh, it was just a request, they wouldn't

168
00:08:26,216 --> 00:08:27,466
 have arrested them if they had said no.

169
00:08:27,533 --> 00:08:30,883
Uh, especially in a case somebody doesn't get arrested,

170
00:08:30,899 --> 00:08:33,899
 and they'll use that as the excuse because it's like, oh,

171
00:08:33,899 --> 00:08:35,633
 well, yeah, if you just said no, it was fine.

172
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:37,733
You didn't have to do what they told you to do.

173
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,850
And it's like, well, yeah, but you're a guy with a badge and a gun and

174
00:08:40,866 --> 00:08:42,783
 you tell me to do something, I kind of feel like I have to do it.

175
00:08:42,833 --> 00:08:45,466
Um, but our law is not written that way.

176
00:08:45,533 --> 00:08:48,533
So what they basically boiled down to was clarify that

177
00:08:48,533 --> 00:08:51,466
 it's actually in order, am I, you know, are you going to arrest me if I say no?

178
00:08:51,533 --> 00:08:51,700
Yeah?

179
00:08:51,783 --> 00:08:53,516
Okay, here, I'm going to do whatever you say at that point.

180
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:56,633
And they all pretty much agreed on that, but it makes

181
00:08:56,633 --> 00:08:59,683
 for a very, very funny read, if you ever get a chance to

182
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:03,116
 read it, and don't mind some dry legal analysis

183
00:09:03,116 --> 00:09:06,233
 stuff in there, but when you get down to the actual opinions, they're pretty amusing.

184
00:09:06,299 --> 00:09:09,299
So, uh, but that was an interesting one because that does affect

185
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:10,966
 us in Alabama just a touch.

186
00:09:11,033 --> 00:09:14,083
Make sure if you're asked, you actually give your full legal name and

187
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:17,216
 your entire address like somebody would ride on a letter to you.

188
00:09:17,283 --> 00:09:20,700
That was actually a statement made by one of the justices and they all concurred with him.

189
00:09:20,966 --> 00:09:24,233
That, yeah, it's got to be something that you can put on an envelope and get a letter in the mail with.

190
00:09:24,299 --> 00:09:28,433
So, hey, if you're ever asked and you're not driving, different rules for driving.

191
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,850
Driver's license and all your car information goes with that.

192
00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:35,866
But if you're just walking on the street and you get asked, just go full name.

193
00:09:35,933 --> 00:09:37,783
Be on the safe side.

194
00:09:37,866 --> 00:09:41,466
Uh, so that one's, that was kind of fun this weekend.

195
00:09:41,516 --> 00:09:44,566
I got to sit down and read over all that while enjoying the videos

196
00:09:44,583 --> 00:09:46,016
 from the No Kings protests.

197
00:09:46,083 --> 00:09:51,000
All right.

198
00:09:51,066 --> 00:09:55,016
Well, last time we dropped off with Revelation 15 one.

199
00:09:55,083 --> 00:09:59,933
And, uh, we had Revelation 14,

200
00:10:00,299 --> 00:10:03,533
We had stopped, uh, let me refresh

201
00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:07,433
 myself on the ending of that chapter, and it was,

202
00:10:07,433 --> 00:10:10,733
 uh, talking about the angels,

203
00:10:10,733 --> 00:10:13,899
 uh, the angels coming out

204
00:10:13,916 --> 00:10:15,416
 of the the temple of heaven.

205
00:10:15,483 --> 00:10:17,583
They have the sickles.

206
00:10:18,366 --> 00:10:21,366
One of them has a sickle and, well, actually, 2 of them have a, have

207
00:10:21,366 --> 00:10:24,833
 sickles to, uh, uh, in

208
00:10:24,833 --> 00:10:27,883
 14, 15, uh, chapter 14, verse

209
00:10:27,899 --> 00:10:30,950
 15, came out of the temple, shouting in a loud voice to the one

210
00:10:30,966 --> 00:10:34,083
 seated on the cloud, use your sickle, and start to reap because the time to

211
00:10:34,083 --> 00:10:37,083
 reap has come since the earth, earth's harvest is ripe,

212
00:10:37,083 --> 00:10:40,200
 and we're covering uh, those angels, uh, doing

213
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,633
 that towards the end of 14.

214
00:10:41,816 --> 00:10:44,933
You have the angels of the sickles, the angel that was in charge of

215
00:10:44,933 --> 00:10:47,333
 fire that comes from the altar.

216
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:50,516
Um, and uh,

217
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:53,683
 gather that said to the angel with the sickle,

218
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,750
 gather the cluster of grapes, off the vine of the earth

219
00:10:56,766 --> 00:10:58,799
 because its grapes are now ripe.

220
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:01,866
Um, and that, you

221
00:11:01,866 --> 00:11:05,283
 know, it starts talking about the wine press being stomped outside

222
00:11:05,283 --> 00:11:08,333
 of the city and the blood pouring out of the wine press up to

223
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:12,166
 the height of the horse's bridles for a distance of almost 200 miles.

224
00:11:12,233 --> 00:11:15,950
And we talked about the symbolism of that and what it was showing.

225
00:11:16,016 --> 00:11:19,250
And then we come to this next sign that

226
00:11:19,266 --> 00:11:21,783
 John sees in chapter 15.

227
00:11:22,083 --> 00:11:26,333
Yeah, so 14 was basically kind of an overview, right?

228
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:26,866
Right.

229
00:11:26,933 --> 00:11:29,933
And we're going to get back to the details.

230
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,116
Yes, getting back into the really the last

231
00:11:33,116 --> 00:11:35,149
 of the great tribulation here.

232
00:11:35,166 --> 00:11:36,066
Yeah.

233
00:11:36,416 --> 00:11:39,533
Yeah, it's going to get pretty intense here.

234
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,616
Yeah absolutely.

235
00:11:40,683 --> 00:11:43,983
All right, you want to read verses one and two?

236
00:11:44,033 --> 00:11:45,049
Sure.

237
00:11:45,116 --> 00:11:48,833
Since then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous.

238
00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:52,016
Seven angels who had 7 plagues, which are

239
00:11:52,016 --> 00:11:55,133
 the last, because in them, the wrath of God is finished.

240
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,500
And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed

241
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:01,616
 with fire, and those who had been victorious over the beast in his

242
00:12:01,616 --> 00:12:04,733
 image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of

243
00:12:04,733 --> 00:12:06,833
 glass, holding harps of God.

244
00:12:06,899 --> 00:12:10,066
So, this,

245
00:12:10,083 --> 00:12:13,433
 uh, we're, we're, we're getting into,

246
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:15,766
 um, the last 7 things, right?

247
00:12:15,783 --> 00:12:17,149
It is going to be 7 bowls.

248
00:12:18,066 --> 00:12:21,233
These plagues are the same as the 7 bowls that show up a

249
00:12:21,233 --> 00:12:22,483
 little later in verse seven, right?

250
00:12:22,566 --> 00:12:25,133
Yeah, and this is, it's a, it's this another,

251
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,700
Of course, John's a, he's a spectator here and another, another

252
00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:32,816
 sign connects us with Revelation

253
00:12:32,816 --> 00:12:35,566
 12 one, which is, which was the 1st sign.

254
00:12:35,633 --> 00:12:38,983
But Satan, he's had his time, right?

255
00:12:39,066 --> 00:12:40,383
He's had his time.

256
00:12:40,433 --> 00:12:43,433
He's had his run of things, uh, time to unleash his

257
00:12:43,433 --> 00:12:47,500
 wrath on the saints of God, but but now God

258
00:12:47,516 --> 00:12:50,933
 is unleashing his wrath and and bringing

259
00:12:50,933 --> 00:12:53,933
 us up to the final

260
00:12:53,933 --> 00:12:56,933
 judgment that we will that we will get to at the

261
00:12:56,933 --> 00:12:58,250
 end of the great tribulation.

262
00:12:58,383 --> 00:13:01,500
God's been

263
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:02,633
 slow to anger, hadn't he?

264
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:04,250
I mean, it really has.

265
00:13:04,316 --> 00:13:07,666
And, and, uh, but here

266
00:13:07,683 --> 00:13:09,600
 comes the end of his long suffering.

267
00:13:09,666 --> 00:13:10,683
He's done.

268
00:13:10,733 --> 00:13:13,549
Is it 1st Peter, 2nd Peter talks about the patience.

269
00:13:13,616 --> 00:13:14,333
He's being patient.

270
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:15,416
None to be lost.

271
00:13:15,483 --> 00:13:16,016
That's right.

272
00:13:16,083 --> 00:13:16,616
Yeah, yeah.

273
00:13:16,683 --> 00:13:20,933
I want none to perish and I just

274
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:24,399
 want to get this straight in my head and maybe anybody listening.

275
00:13:24,483 --> 00:13:27,649
What's coming up or seven, the 7 last

276
00:13:27,666 --> 00:13:29,633
 plagues that says in verse one there.

277
00:13:29,633 --> 00:13:32,633
And, uh, so so what we have

278
00:13:32,633 --> 00:13:34,433
 is we started out with 7 seals.

279
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,216
And I promise I won't ever do that again.

280
00:13:38,283 --> 00:13:41,700
Seven seals and at the 7th seal.

281
00:13:42,716 --> 00:13:47,283
I don't, I don't, I don't do animal impersonation.

282
00:13:47,333 --> 00:13:47,683
Come on.

283
00:13:47,766 --> 00:13:48,716
So you can...

284
00:13:49,966 --> 00:13:51,666
You got the 7 seals.

285
00:13:51,666 --> 00:13:55,616
And at the 7th seal is, it contains the 7 trumpets.

286
00:13:55,683 --> 00:14:00,000
And then the 7th trumpet contains these seven, these 7 bowls.

287
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,549
Yeah.

288
00:14:01,566 --> 00:14:01,866
Yeah.

289
00:14:01,916 --> 00:14:07,250
So this is all happening and one after the other.

290
00:14:07,316 --> 00:14:09,416
Just one after the other in a cereal kind of way.

291
00:14:09,483 --> 00:14:11,516
And these bowls are being poured out.

292
00:14:11,583 --> 00:14:11,950
Yeah.

293
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,149
The wrath of God, right?

294
00:14:14,216 --> 00:14:15,583
Yeah.

295
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,299
You know, it reminds me.

296
00:14:18,366 --> 00:14:21,416
It reminds me of what Jesus talked about with labor pains, right?

297
00:14:21,483 --> 00:14:24,533
Because toward the end, that 7th seal is still

298
00:14:24,533 --> 00:14:27,700
 going on here because the 7th trumpet is completed

299
00:14:27,716 --> 00:14:28,950
 in the 7...

300
00:14:29,716 --> 00:14:31,566
I mean, it's all hitting at once now.

301
00:14:31,616 --> 00:14:33,233
I mean, it's just getting more and more intense.

302
00:14:33,299 --> 00:14:34,433
Yes, it is.

303
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:34,916
It is.

304
00:14:34,983 --> 00:14:38,149
And and like I said, uh, you know, he

305
00:14:38,166 --> 00:14:42,000
 is, he was slow to anger and he doesn't

306
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,600
 tell us not to be angry, but he does tell us to be angry and said not, right?

307
00:14:45,716 --> 00:14:49,133
There's things that we, as Christians,

308
00:14:49,133 --> 00:14:50,633
 there's righteous anger, right?

309
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:55,433
Now, I think you need to really pray over

310
00:14:55,433 --> 00:14:58,850
 and contemplate whether or not your anger is righteous or not.

311
00:14:58,916 --> 00:15:02,216
Because a lot of times I think we can just check it off as righteous

312
00:15:02,216 --> 00:15:03,716
 anger, but it's not.

313
00:15:03,783 --> 00:15:05,816
You know, it's what we want to be angry about.

314
00:15:05,883 --> 00:15:08,933
But, but, but when we see, when we see,

315
00:15:08,933 --> 00:15:12,049
 um, uh, wrongdoing, when we see

316
00:15:12,066 --> 00:15:15,416
 things like, um, I mean, abortion, that makes me angry.

317
00:15:15,483 --> 00:15:16,083
Yeah.

318
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:19,250
It makes me angry that that Satan has deceived so

319
00:15:19,266 --> 00:15:22,683
 many and that we would uh, uh,

320
00:15:22,683 --> 00:15:25,916
 that we would be for the, the murder of a child.

321
00:15:25,983 --> 00:15:29,450
and that we can't see that as murder, you know?

322
00:15:29,516 --> 00:15:31,666
But there's things that make us angry.

323
00:15:31,733 --> 00:15:33,883
But again, be angry and sin not.

324
00:15:33,966 --> 00:15:37,733
I think usually too, righteous anger is not as emotional.

325
00:15:37,799 --> 00:15:38,866
Yeah, yeah.

326
00:15:38,933 --> 00:15:39,350
Right.

327
00:15:39,416 --> 00:15:40,850
You know, it's not like a road rage.

328
00:15:40,916 --> 00:15:41,333
Right.

329
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,316
No, yeah, like no, you're not slipping out.

330
00:15:43,383 --> 00:15:43,549
Yeah.

331
00:15:43,566 --> 00:15:44,100
Yeah.

332
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:44,583
Yeah.

333
00:15:44,633 --> 00:15:45,049
Yeah, yeah.

334
00:15:45,116 --> 00:15:46,316
You might flip some tables.

335
00:15:46,383 --> 00:15:46,799
I don't know.

336
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:47,450
That's what you.

337
00:15:47,583 --> 00:15:48,299
Well, yeah.

338
00:15:48,299 --> 00:15:50,933
But, you know.

339
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,166
But, so, I mean, you

340
00:15:54,183 --> 00:15:57,183
 know, through the smoke and the fire of everything that's

341
00:15:57,183 --> 00:16:00,233
 going on here, uh, that that

342
00:16:00,233 --> 00:16:03,533
 came through the persecution of Satan, uh, now

343
00:16:03,533 --> 00:16:06,583
 victory is, we're starting, we're starting to

344
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,766
 get towards some victory here, uh, that they're getting revenge

345
00:16:09,783 --> 00:16:11,583
 in in these dark days.

346
00:16:11,633 --> 00:16:14,866
So I think, I think, you know, I think we're

347
00:16:14,883 --> 00:16:17,933
 beginning, we're beginning to come around and see some of this right

348
00:16:17,933 --> 00:16:19,733
 here in chapter 15, 16.

349
00:16:19,983 --> 00:16:24,000
You want to read those next?

350
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:24,966
You may read those next.

351
00:16:25,016 --> 00:16:27,583
Hey, I just want to ask you real quick on verse two.

352
00:16:27,666 --> 00:16:29,766
What do you make the sea of glass?

353
00:16:29,816 --> 00:16:33,533
It's usually like just a mass of people, right?

354
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,066
Yeah.

355
00:16:34,083 --> 00:16:34,616
Yes.

356
00:16:34,733 --> 00:16:35,633
symbolic of that.

357
00:16:35,766 --> 00:16:36,966
I think so.

358
00:16:37,016 --> 00:16:39,116
I think anytime it's mixed with fire.

359
00:16:39,183 --> 00:16:42,183
Anytime we're mentioned, C, I think we're dealing with

360
00:16:42,183 --> 00:16:43,733
 a group of people.

361
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:44,216
Yeah.

362
00:16:44,283 --> 00:16:45,200
And so, yeah.

363
00:16:45,716 --> 00:16:48,049
And the fire would be like judgment.

364
00:16:48,116 --> 00:16:49,483
Judgment towards those people.

365
00:16:49,566 --> 00:16:50,100
Yeah.

366
00:16:50,166 --> 00:16:50,883
Yeah.

367
00:16:50,933 --> 00:16:52,299
It's interesting.

368
00:16:52,383 --> 00:16:55,450
The other time where we've actually seen this sea of glass, um,

369
00:16:56,816 --> 00:16:58,183
 was in Revelation 46.

370
00:16:58,383 --> 00:17:01,383
I was actually going back, check that, because I remembered something

371
00:17:01,383 --> 00:17:04,383
 triggering in my head on that, and it described it then

372
00:17:04,383 --> 00:17:05,700
 as a sea of glass.

373
00:17:05,766 --> 00:17:09,533
Um, and it said, uh, something like crystal.

374
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,366
And that word used for crystal.

375
00:17:13,433 --> 00:17:16,900
We're not actually 100%

376
00:17:16,916 --> 00:17:19,950
 sure what it meant because it could have been like the mineral crystal,

377
00:17:20,816 --> 00:17:23,816
 or it could have been ice, which was

378
00:17:23,816 --> 00:17:25,433
 an older translation of the same word.

379
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,733
And, uh, so it's really interesting here

380
00:17:28,733 --> 00:17:31,733
 when you think about it in those terms because if you take that

381
00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:35,200
 crystal to be ice, a sea of ice mixed

382
00:17:35,216 --> 00:17:38,983
 with fire, um, it kind

383
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,049
 of changes the way you look at what what John's seeing there because he's

384
00:17:42,066 --> 00:17:45,116
 actually seeing the sea changing right

385
00:17:45,116 --> 00:17:46,916
 in front of him by the fire that would be under it.

386
00:17:46,983 --> 00:17:48,049
Right.

387
00:17:48,066 --> 00:17:51,066
So really interesting because it's, like you

388
00:17:51,066 --> 00:17:54,183
 say, whether it's the people of the world or whatever it is, it's

389
00:17:54,183 --> 00:17:57,349
 something that is active and it's moving and it's changing, whereas

390
00:17:57,366 --> 00:17:59,333
 originally it was seemed to be fairly static.

391
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,516
But now all of a sudden it's actually undergoing change.

392
00:18:02,583 --> 00:18:03,483
Yes.

393
00:18:03,483 --> 00:18:06,950
Yeah, and, and, uh, oh,

394
00:18:06,966 --> 00:18:10,866
 man, it's just a, it's a crazy picture in my head of this.

395
00:18:10,866 --> 00:18:13,983
And, and, and it, uh, the same,

396
00:18:13,983 --> 00:18:17,033
 I believe the same, uh, uh, martyrs

397
00:18:17,033 --> 00:18:20,033
 that we see in, uh, was it

398
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:23,683
 back in Revelation 6 and one of the, one of the SEAL judgments.

399
00:18:23,766 --> 00:18:24,299
Yeah.

400
00:18:24,299 --> 00:18:27,349
Um, standing at and it

401
00:18:27,366 --> 00:18:31,316
 said, my my version is new American standard here, standing on the sea of glass.

402
00:18:31,383 --> 00:18:32,283
They're not in it.

403
00:18:32,333 --> 00:18:35,500
The ESV says standing

404
00:18:35,516 --> 00:18:38,150
 beside the sea of class holding harps of God.

405
00:18:38,216 --> 00:18:38,816
Yeah.

406
00:18:38,816 --> 00:18:42,533
So they're they're outside of that judgment.

407
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:45,766
And this could be, this could be,

408
00:18:45,783 --> 00:18:48,783
 I guess, the 144,000 or it could be any, any of the

409
00:18:48,783 --> 00:18:50,583
 remnant that's still made it through this.

410
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:51,766
made it through to the end.

411
00:18:51,833 --> 00:18:53,750
And I think I think that's what we're seeing here.

412
00:18:53,816 --> 00:18:57,283
The people who've come through the persecution and who...

413
00:18:57,299 --> 00:18:58,799
Oh, yeah, it would be the murder.

414
00:18:58,866 --> 00:18:58,983
Yeah.

415
00:18:59,099 --> 00:18:59,333
Yeah.

416
00:18:59,400 --> 00:18:59,816
Yeah, yeah.

417
00:18:59,883 --> 00:19:02,216
I think so.

418
00:19:02,283 --> 00:19:05,450
And I love that that

419
00:19:05,466 --> 00:19:08,583
 phrase, uh, something like

420
00:19:08,583 --> 00:19:12,416
 a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had conquered the beast.

421
00:19:12,483 --> 00:19:15,533
Um, traditionally, that phrase

422
00:19:15,533 --> 00:19:17,033
 would be, they had overcome.

423
00:19:17,099 --> 00:19:17,450
Right.

424
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,916
It's been victorious.

425
00:19:19,983 --> 00:19:23,283
Yeah, they, they, they've, they've overcome, and that's

426
00:19:23,283 --> 00:19:26,150
 what exactly what Jesus was talking to the church is about, right?

427
00:19:26,216 --> 00:19:29,933
The 7 churches, who overcomes every church, he who overcomes.

428
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,416
And these guys have somehow held out and

429
00:19:33,416 --> 00:19:36,533
 been just evidently on the fringe of society

430
00:19:36,533 --> 00:19:39,583
 for years, right, to not

431
00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:42,000
 take the beast to overcome the number of his name.

432
00:19:42,066 --> 00:19:42,833
Yeah.

433
00:19:42,833 --> 00:19:44,500
That's that's going to be tough.

434
00:19:44,583 --> 00:19:45,416
Yes, it is.

435
00:19:45,483 --> 00:19:48,716
Just a

436
00:19:48,716 --> 00:19:51,833
 quick note there on that, the, the, what you

437
00:19:51,833 --> 00:19:55,733
 were discussing earlier about standing by the sea of glass or on the sea of glass.

438
00:19:55,799 --> 00:20:00,533
The preposition, EPI, EPI,

439
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:03,650
 with the accusative case as it exists in this

440
00:20:03,666 --> 00:20:07,133
 particular phrase, could mean, yep,

441
00:20:07,133 --> 00:20:09,533
 there it is, on, at, by, or near.

442
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:12,599
And we're not 100% sure because

443
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:16,250
 it can mean all 4 of those and it's like, hey, they're not in.

444
00:20:16,316 --> 00:20:16,549
Yeah.

445
00:20:16,616 --> 00:20:17,566
Not in.

446
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:19,366
either on it, at it, buy it, or near it.

447
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:21,716
But they're definitely not in it.

448
00:20:21,783 --> 00:20:22,316
Yeah.

449
00:20:22,383 --> 00:20:26,750
All right, verse three.

450
00:20:26,883 --> 00:20:30,116
And they sing a song of Moses, the servant

451
00:20:30,116 --> 00:20:33,583
 of God, and the song of the lamb saying, great and marvelous

452
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:36,716
 are thy works, Lord God almighty, just and

453
00:20:36,716 --> 00:20:40,066
 true are thy ways, thou king of saints.

454
00:20:40,083 --> 00:20:42,950
Uh, and let's do verse 4.

455
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:43,616
So, okay.

456
00:20:43,683 --> 00:20:47,150
Yeah, who shall not fear thee, O Lord,

457
00:20:47,166 --> 00:20:50,216
 and glorify thy name, for thou only

458
00:20:50,216 --> 00:20:53,333
 are holy, for all nations shall come and

459
00:20:53,333 --> 00:20:56,500
 worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest.

460
00:20:56,583 --> 00:21:00,049
So the song of Moses is

461
00:21:00,066 --> 00:21:03,066
 found in Exodus chapter 15, verse one

462
00:21:03,066 --> 00:21:06,900
 through 21, and then in Deuteronomy 32, one through 43.

463
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:10,133
Both of these songs speak

464
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:14,033
 of God's deliverance, his salvation, and his faithfulness.

465
00:21:14,099 --> 00:21:15,000
Faithfulness.

466
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:16,266
Yeah, he is faithful, right?

467
00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:17,266
He is faithful.

468
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:20,566
And Revelation 5, and back in chapter

469
00:21:20,583 --> 00:21:23,633
 5, verse 9 through 12, we see this

470
00:21:23,633 --> 00:21:26,866
 description of praise to Christ

471
00:21:26,883 --> 00:21:28,433
 as Redeemer, right?

472
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,049
Song of the Lamb.

473
00:21:30,116 --> 00:21:30,833
Yeah, yeah.

474
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:33,650
He is the redeemer of all ages.

475
00:21:33,716 --> 00:21:36,766
And, and, and here it

476
00:21:36,783 --> 00:21:39,483
 says, the king of ages.

477
00:21:39,533 --> 00:21:43,666
Christ will, he'll be the object of universal

478
00:21:43,683 --> 00:21:45,116
 worship and acknowledgement.

479
00:21:45,183 --> 00:21:47,750
There will be no place where he will not be worshipped.

480
00:21:47,816 --> 00:21:50,983
I mean, every knee shall bow, every tongue

481
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,500
 shall confess.

482
00:21:52,616 --> 00:21:55,849
And we live in a time right now,

483
00:21:55,866 --> 00:21:58,983
 guys, where there's there's no fear of God, right?

484
00:21:59,033 --> 00:22:00,700
There's absolutely no fear of God.

485
00:22:00,783 --> 00:22:03,833
We live in a world where, where everyone,

486
00:22:03,833 --> 00:22:07,000
 they do what they want to do and how they want to do it,

487
00:22:07,016 --> 00:22:11,566
 as it pleases them and it makes them feel good, then that's, hey, do it.

488
00:22:11,633 --> 00:22:13,783
you know, and that's what they're that's what they're telling everybody else.

489
00:22:13,916 --> 00:22:14,866
It makes you feel good.

490
00:22:14,933 --> 00:22:17,150
Just, hey, just follow your heart, bro.

491
00:22:17,216 --> 00:22:18,416
Yeah, follow your heart.

492
00:22:18,533 --> 00:22:21,833
Man, I mean, terrible,

493
00:22:21,833 --> 00:22:23,033
 terrible advice, right?

494
00:22:23,099 --> 00:22:26,150
The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately

495
00:22:26,166 --> 00:22:27,233
 wicked who can know it.

496
00:22:27,299 --> 00:22:28,916
That's what the Bible says about your heart.

497
00:22:29,033 --> 00:22:31,066
So, so yeah.

498
00:22:31,133 --> 00:22:34,183
And if you think as a

499
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,200
 Christian, you can live as you want to live with

500
00:22:37,866 --> 00:22:40,916
 no fear of God and

501
00:22:40,916 --> 00:22:42,233
 get away with that.

502
00:22:42,299 --> 00:22:45,000
I'm going to correct you.

503
00:22:45,066 --> 00:22:45,483
You're wrong.

504
00:22:45,533 --> 00:22:47,683
You're absolutely wrong.

505
00:22:47,766 --> 00:22:50,283
Not all bad.

506
00:22:50,333 --> 00:22:51,766
that happens.

507
00:22:51,783 --> 00:22:54,900
Now, it is because of your sin, right?

508
00:22:54,966 --> 00:22:58,083
I mean, you're going to face judgment one day and we all we all face

509
00:22:58,083 --> 00:22:59,883
 bad times and hard times and stuff.

510
00:22:59,933 --> 00:23:02,933
And I want to be clear, you know, not everything that

511
00:23:02,933 --> 00:23:06,349
 happens, not every bad thing that happens is because of your sin,

512
00:23:06,366 --> 00:23:10,383
 but you better believe that it's because of sin.

513
00:23:10,433 --> 00:23:13,433
And there are things that you can do in your life

514
00:23:13,433 --> 00:23:16,299
 that will cause you heartache and pain and suffering in this world.

515
00:23:16,383 --> 00:23:19,500
We put a lot of things on ourselves, I think.

516
00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:20,283
Yeah, we do.

517
00:23:20,283 --> 00:23:20,750
You know?

518
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:23,816
And I'll tell you what, you don't want to live your Christian life

519
00:23:23,816 --> 00:23:27,883
 if you claim to be a believer living it going, oh, I'm forgiven.

520
00:23:27,966 --> 00:23:28,799
Yeah, yeah.

521
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:30,116
I've got grace, man.

522
00:23:30,183 --> 00:23:31,683
I can do whatever I want to do.

523
00:23:31,733 --> 00:23:34,733
Buddy, I'll tell you, there's a judgment seat of Christ

524
00:23:34,733 --> 00:23:38,383
 coming where you're going to give a count for every word, every deed.

525
00:23:38,466 --> 00:23:39,066
Yes.

526
00:23:39,066 --> 00:23:42,366
And that's going to be a brutal way to end up.

527
00:23:42,483 --> 00:23:45,599
I mean, it's not about salvation at that point, but it's

528
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,716
 about rewards and it's about just utter shame.

529
00:23:48,783 --> 00:23:49,849
Yeah.

530
00:23:49,866 --> 00:23:54,483
Well, and it's one of those things that, as Christians,

531
00:23:54,483 --> 00:23:57,783
 it's such hard balance to strike,

532
00:23:57,783 --> 00:24:00,049
 especially if you're teaching a new Christian.

533
00:24:00,116 --> 00:24:03,883
The difference between being saved

534
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,716
 and the process of sanctification that comes along with that.

535
00:24:06,833 --> 00:24:10,433
versus being at the end of that process.

536
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:13,733
Yes, you are going to fall and fail and

537
00:24:13,733 --> 00:24:17,566
 make mistakes and you're going to mess up and you're going to you're going to fall back on your old ways.

538
00:24:17,633 --> 00:24:19,433
Is it possible to not do that?

539
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,500
Yes, absolutely through the power of God

540
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,500
 and through God's help and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit,

541
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:28,966
 it is possible to not go and keep

542
00:24:28,983 --> 00:24:30,299
 falling back on those old sins.

543
00:24:30,366 --> 00:24:32,883
But more than likely, you're going to.

544
00:24:32,933 --> 00:24:36,283
And it's a fine line in

545
00:24:36,299 --> 00:24:39,349
 teaching, especially new Christians, when you

546
00:24:39,366 --> 00:24:42,366
 make the mistake, you go to God, you ask forgiveness and be

547
00:24:42,366 --> 00:24:45,366
 grateful for his mercy, but we're not going to live as though

548
00:24:45,366 --> 00:24:48,483
 that mercy is every, we're just going to keep doing it.

549
00:24:48,483 --> 00:24:51,833
We will not sin more so that mercy or grace may abandon.

550
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:53,866
You know, that, you know, God forbid that.

551
00:24:53,933 --> 00:24:55,900
That is something that we shouldn't be doing.

552
00:24:55,983 --> 00:24:58,500
And it's such a fine line, and it's such a hard thing.

553
00:24:58,566 --> 00:25:01,566
I think, especially with new Christians to get that through that

554
00:25:01,566 --> 00:25:05,216
 we're not saying, go and just sin, sin, sin, but

555
00:25:05,216 --> 00:25:06,416
 recognize your sin.

556
00:25:06,483 --> 00:25:10,083
ask God for forgiveness because he is faithful and just forgive us.

557
00:25:10,133 --> 00:25:11,333
The Bible tells us that.

558
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,150
And then move on.

559
00:25:14,216 --> 00:25:15,833
That's the trick.

560
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:17,700
It's it's you've got to move on.

561
00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:20,883
You've got to take that next step forward and move

562
00:25:20,883 --> 00:25:22,849
 forward, but leave the sin behind.

563
00:25:22,916 --> 00:25:25,916
And when you fall back into it, get up, wipe yourself

564
00:25:25,916 --> 00:25:29,566
 off, pray, talk to God about it and keep walking forward.

565
00:25:29,633 --> 00:25:33,400
There's a grace movement out there, though, that these people, I've

566
00:25:33,416 --> 00:25:35,566
 literally heard somebody say, oh, yeah, I can do that.

567
00:25:35,633 --> 00:25:36,349
I'm forgiven.

568
00:25:36,416 --> 00:25:37,183
Yeah, yeah.

569
00:25:37,266 --> 00:25:37,733
No.

570
00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:37,950
Yeah.

571
00:25:38,583 --> 00:25:40,500
You're spitting in the face of gray.

572
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:41,333
That's what you're doing.

573
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,533
Absolutely you are.

574
00:25:42,666 --> 00:25:44,766
It's a horrible, horrible thing.

575
00:25:44,816 --> 00:25:47,983
And it's, I don't, I don't think people have enough reverence

576
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,599
 for the Lord Jesus Christ and to know who

577
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:55,066
 he really is, that he is holy, holy, holy, that

578
00:25:55,083 --> 00:25:57,049
 he is the name above all names.

579
00:25:57,116 --> 00:25:58,250
The word became flesh.

580
00:25:58,316 --> 00:26:00,466
He's the alpha, the omega, the beginning, the end.

581
00:26:00,533 --> 00:26:02,200
He's the king, kings and Lord lords.

582
00:26:02,283 --> 00:26:04,500
All these things, the great I am.

583
00:26:04,566 --> 00:26:07,616
And one of these days you're going to face plant in front of him.

584
00:26:07,683 --> 00:26:08,583
Absolutely.

585
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:09,349
Absolutely.

586
00:26:09,416 --> 00:26:12,716
And it's just, it's scary to,

587
00:26:12,716 --> 00:26:17,033
 to know how people think, you know, um, we, uh,

588
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:20,383
 we, we've been, we're in second, we were in 2nd Peter, uh, chapter

589
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,099
 two, uh, Wednesday night.

590
00:26:23,099 --> 00:26:26,099
And, uh, and we talked a lot about the

591
00:26:26,099 --> 00:26:29,516
 holiness and and him calling us a peculiar

592
00:26:29,516 --> 00:26:32,566
 people, uh, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,

593
00:26:32,583 --> 00:26:34,500
 you know, all those names that he's given us.

594
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:37,549
And, uh, and what we want to, and I, and I,

595
00:26:37,566 --> 00:26:40,133
 I don't want to, I don't want to down anybody for this. and we,

596
00:26:40,133 --> 00:26:41,333
talked about it before.

597
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,633
Yes, we're sinners saved by grace, but do not let that be an excuse

598
00:26:44,633 --> 00:26:46,599
 for you to live the way that you want to live.

599
00:26:46,683 --> 00:26:49,016
Do not let that be an excuse for you.

600
00:26:49,083 --> 00:26:52,916
Yes, we still live in this flesh and yes, this flesh will fail us.

601
00:26:53,216 --> 00:26:56,333
But do not let that be an excuse to not live

602
00:26:56,333 --> 00:26:59,383
 a righteous life and to follow Christ the way that he's called us

603
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,266
 to live because we will face judgment, right?

604
00:27:02,333 --> 00:27:06,349
I mean, if you're a saved Christian, we'll stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

605
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:10,183
And some of that judgment that you may get may be here.

606
00:27:10,266 --> 00:27:11,099
You may bring it on.

607
00:27:11,766 --> 00:27:13,083
It may be right here right now.

608
00:27:13,133 --> 00:27:16,666
You won't spend eternity in hell if you're truly saved.

609
00:27:16,733 --> 00:27:20,033
But, you know, I, I, and now I was thinking about this too.

610
00:27:20,099 --> 00:27:23,450
I was thinking about all that's going on here.

611
00:27:23,583 --> 00:27:26,933
you know, and all the people that are going to be bowing down and worshiping

612
00:27:26,933 --> 00:27:30,283
 Jesus all over and, you know, in every niche

613
00:27:30,299 --> 00:27:31,799
 bowel every time she'll confess.

614
00:27:31,866 --> 00:27:35,099
I was able to witness to a guy the

615
00:27:35,099 --> 00:27:37,200
 other day that's lived a man.

616
00:27:37,266 --> 00:27:40,383
When I say a hard life, guys, I could just, I could go into detail

617
00:27:40,383 --> 00:27:43,383
 and then, and it would probably, uh, make the hair

618
00:27:43,383 --> 00:27:46,733
 stand up on the back of you head how rough this guy was during his life.

619
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:50,033
And, uh, and he told me, um, we got

620
00:27:50,033 --> 00:27:51,466
 to talking about being saved.

621
00:27:51,533 --> 00:27:54,833
We got to talk about judgment, and he

622
00:27:54,833 --> 00:27:57,466
 doesn't know really what he believes.

623
00:27:57,483 --> 00:28:00,483
He's very intelligent, actually, and studied

624
00:28:00,483 --> 00:28:03,783
 the Bible and was quoting verses to me and things,

625
00:28:03,783 --> 00:28:06,833
 and he said, but he made the statement when we were

626
00:28:06,833 --> 00:28:10,733
 talking about, you know, Christ dying for our sins and paying the price for our sins.

627
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:13,316
He said, well, why don't we still have to ask forgiveness then?

628
00:28:13,433 --> 00:28:14,750
Why are we asking forgiveness?

629
00:28:14,816 --> 00:28:17,150
I said, well, I said, here's the thing.

630
00:28:17,216 --> 00:28:19,316
He paid the price for our sins.

631
00:28:19,383 --> 00:28:21,000
We asked forgiveness.

632
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:23,283
out of reverence to him for what he done, right?

633
00:28:23,283 --> 00:28:25,016
Because when we sinned against him,

634
00:28:25,083 --> 00:28:27,599
I said, that sin.

635
00:28:27,666 --> 00:28:31,566
I said, I told him, I said, it's not your sin that will send you to hell.

636
00:28:31,616 --> 00:28:34,916
I said, it's your rejection of an almighty and righteous

637
00:28:34,916 --> 00:28:38,566
 and a holy God, that you

638
00:28:38,583 --> 00:28:40,433
 would never accept him, you know.

639
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,799
And I said, I said, but yes, we repent

640
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:44,866
 of our sins.

641
00:28:44,933 --> 00:28:46,599
We repent of what we've done.

642
00:28:46,683 --> 00:28:49,916
And we do it with a contract

643
00:28:49,916 --> 00:28:50,933
 spirit, right?

644
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,650
We do it with a heart that's broken because I

645
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:57,783
 know that I've sinned against God and it hurts me because I know it

646
00:28:57,783 --> 00:28:59,583
 hurts him because he's a good father.

647
00:28:59,633 --> 00:29:00,166
Father.

648
00:29:00,183 --> 00:29:01,799
Yes, he's a father.

649
00:29:01,866 --> 00:29:02,883
He's a father to us.

650
00:29:02,933 --> 00:29:06,049
But, you know, one of the things that really just made me so sad.

651
00:29:06,066 --> 00:29:09,183
And I, I, I, I'm hopefully I get another chance to

652
00:29:09,183 --> 00:29:11,099
 go back and talk with him again.

653
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:14,166
But one of the things that made me so sad that he said while we

654
00:29:14,166 --> 00:29:17,633
 were talking to each other, he said, um, he said,

655
00:29:17,633 --> 00:29:20,683
 you know, he said, I hope he said, I've always just felt like,

656
00:29:20,700 --> 00:29:22,366
 you know, you die, you die, and that's it.

657
00:29:22,433 --> 00:29:23,033
and you're done.

658
00:29:23,099 --> 00:29:26,933
He said, at least I hope that's how it is with the life that I've lived.

659
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,266
That's that's no hope at all.

660
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:33,049
And that's that's really what that

661
00:29:33,066 --> 00:29:36,066
 group of people, those people who don't

662
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:39,066
 want to believe, that's what they're banking on, that

663
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:42,066
 they're just going to be taking a dirt nap one day, you know,

664
00:29:42,066 --> 00:29:44,400
 they're going to be covered up and that's going to be it.

665
00:29:44,466 --> 00:29:46,016
They're going to die and they're going to be paid.

666
00:29:46,083 --> 00:29:48,233
And listen, this is the same thing.

667
00:29:48,299 --> 00:29:52,966
It's the same thing that we discussed,

668
00:29:52,983 --> 00:29:55,983
 we discussed it briefly in here and I talked about it a little bit

669
00:29:55,983 --> 00:29:59,283
 more on a Wednesday night, but it's the same thing with this eternal

670
00:29:59,283 --> 00:30:05,400
 damnation thing that people are saying that hell's not eternal.

671
00:30:05,466 --> 00:30:06,599
Annihilation.

672
00:30:06,666 --> 00:30:09,833
Yeah, the annihilation that you're just ultimately

673
00:30:09,833 --> 00:30:12,833
 you're just destroyed and it's over then and

674
00:30:12,833 --> 00:30:14,566
 there's no eternal punishment, right?

675
00:30:14,633 --> 00:30:16,849
You're just punished and you're done and you're over with.

676
00:30:16,916 --> 00:30:18,416
But that's not who we are.

677
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:19,849
That's not how we're made, right?

678
00:30:19,916 --> 00:30:21,766
We're made to be eternal beings.

679
00:30:21,833 --> 00:30:22,900
That's the way he made us.

680
00:30:22,983 --> 00:30:25,983
Yeah, and we need to be, we need to be

681
00:30:25,983 --> 00:30:29,033
 talking about hell because if, you know, if people are in the

682
00:30:29,033 --> 00:30:32,150
 state that that guy's in and don't believe there's a hell either,

683
00:30:32,166 --> 00:30:35,816
 I mean, they need to know that there's 2 sides to this coin.

684
00:30:35,816 --> 00:30:38,866
And I can't remember what the stat was,

685
00:30:38,883 --> 00:30:42,049
 but it was the vast majority of references to hell were

686
00:30:42,066 --> 00:30:43,433
 spoken by Jesus himself.

687
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:44,266
Yeah, absolutely.

688
00:30:44,333 --> 00:30:47,333
And he used hell in his message to drive the point home

689
00:30:47,333 --> 00:30:51,233
 that don't go there and God loves you and doesn't want you to go there.

690
00:30:51,299 --> 00:30:52,250
Yes, absolutely.

691
00:30:52,316 --> 00:30:55,916
And man, I don't, I don't, this world is messed up.

692
00:30:55,983 --> 00:30:57,233
It's messed up.

693
00:30:57,299 --> 00:31:00,466
And like you said, you know, it's like the Israelites were back in the day with

694
00:31:00,483 --> 00:31:03,900
 the judges or whenever when everyone did

695
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:04,966
 what was right in his own eyes.

696
00:31:05,033 --> 00:31:06,466
That's right.

697
00:31:06,533 --> 00:31:07,966
And yeah.

698
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:10,183
That's why the rats come.

699
00:31:10,266 --> 00:31:13,266
And you know what God said when you do what's right in your

700
00:31:13,266 --> 00:31:16,266
 own eyes, there's going to be a time where he's going

701
00:31:16,266 --> 00:31:18,533
 to weigh you and you're going to come up short.

702
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:19,316
Yeah.

703
00:31:19,316 --> 00:31:23,216
Yeah, we were just looking at Daniel chapter 5 in Sunday school, is it?

704
00:31:23,283 --> 00:31:26,450
Yeah, yeah, I can't pronounce the words Mina,

705
00:31:26,466 --> 00:31:28,133
 Mina, Teco, Club Parson.

706
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,616
Yeah.

707
00:31:28,616 --> 00:31:28,849
Yeah.

708
00:31:28,916 --> 00:31:29,216
Yeah.

709
00:31:29,283 --> 00:31:29,700
Yeah.

710
00:31:29,766 --> 00:31:32,333
You've been wading the balance and found wanting.

711
00:31:32,466 --> 00:31:33,066
Found wanting.

712
00:31:33,066 --> 00:31:33,483
Yeah.

713
00:31:33,533 --> 00:31:34,483
absolutely.

714
00:31:34,566 --> 00:31:35,166
Yeah.

715
00:31:35,216 --> 00:31:38,216
So, uh, but yeah, so,

716
00:31:38,216 --> 00:31:41,216
 I mean, uh, that that there will be

717
00:31:41,216 --> 00:31:44,750
 a day, though, when when nations will come together to worship Jesus.

718
00:31:44,816 --> 00:31:47,816
Philippians chapter 2, verse 9 through 11, wherefore

719
00:31:47,816 --> 00:31:50,816
 God hath highly exalted him and given him a name which

720
00:31:50,816 --> 00:31:53,983
 is above every name, that at the name of Jesus,

721
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,166
 every knee should bow, and things in heaven and earth,

722
00:31:57,183 --> 00:32:00,183
 and things are things in the earth, and the things under the

723
00:32:00,183 --> 00:32:03,349
 earth, and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ

724
00:32:03,366 --> 00:32:06,000
 is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

725
00:32:06,066 --> 00:32:06,716
Amen.

726
00:32:06,716 --> 00:32:09,950
So there's there's a day that's coming and every means

727
00:32:09,966 --> 00:32:11,883
 every, right?

728
00:32:11,933 --> 00:32:14,266
Every name, every tongue.

729
00:32:14,333 --> 00:32:17,566
Those that are in hell will acknowledge

730
00:32:17,583 --> 00:32:20,816
 him as savior, he will not, he didn't, they

731
00:32:20,816 --> 00:32:23,866
 didn't accept him as savior, but they will acknowledge him that

732
00:32:23,883 --> 00:32:26,816
 he's the only king of king and lord of lords.

733
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,016
They'll acknowledge him as, as, uh, not

734
00:32:31,016 --> 00:32:34,183
 as their savior, but they'll acknowledge him as king,

735
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,950
 acknowledge him as ruler of the universe.

736
00:32:37,016 --> 00:32:38,566
They'll know who he is.

737
00:32:38,633 --> 00:32:41,633
And you may not always understand what

738
00:32:41,633 --> 00:32:45,049
 God is doing and and

739
00:32:45,066 --> 00:32:48,366
 for you or to you at times and

740
00:32:48,366 --> 00:32:50,583
 you may think it's not right, but guess what?

741
00:32:50,633 --> 00:32:51,883
You're wrong.

742
00:32:51,966 --> 00:32:55,200
Whatever God does is righteous.

743
00:32:55,266 --> 00:32:57,066
Whatever God does is true.

744
00:32:57,066 --> 00:33:00,533
And I mean, I've had to say that in my in my own life.

745
00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:03,349
I've had to look at things that's happening and think, why?

746
00:33:03,416 --> 00:33:07,066
You know, why, God, and I don't think there's anything wrong with questioning that.

747
00:33:07,083 --> 00:33:10,549
And if you're doing it in an honorable way, but, but,

748
00:33:10,566 --> 00:33:13,683
 but to, to sit back and think that God has just messed

749
00:33:13,683 --> 00:33:14,933
 up and done something wrong.

750
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,099
No, he's never.

751
00:33:17,166 --> 00:33:18,599
He never has done anything wrong.

752
00:33:18,666 --> 00:33:20,583
Not gotch, right?

753
00:33:20,633 --> 00:33:23,799
You got to adjust your thinking to his.

754
00:33:23,933 --> 00:33:25,900
He will not conform to you.

755
00:33:25,983 --> 00:33:29,033
He is righteous and we're unrighteous.

756
00:33:29,099 --> 00:33:30,599
Our righteousness is filthy rags.

757
00:33:30,716 --> 00:33:31,366
Amen.

758
00:33:31,383 --> 00:33:34,200
And he does not shift with the currents of the culture.

759
00:33:34,266 --> 00:33:34,799
No.

760
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:37,966
No, they don't change this time, you know, in this 100 years.

761
00:33:37,983 --> 00:33:39,900
He's something different in the last 100 years.

762
00:33:39,966 --> 00:33:40,733
He's always been the same.

763
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:42,116
He always will be the same.

764
00:33:42,116 --> 00:33:45,116
And that's, man, and what a blessing that is that he never changes.

765
00:33:45,183 --> 00:33:46,250
He's a rock.

766
00:33:46,316 --> 00:33:47,383
Yeah, he's steady.

767
00:33:47,583 --> 00:33:49,433
the one thing in this world that we can count on.

768
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,616
Yeah, the Bible says not one jot or tittle

769
00:33:52,616 --> 00:33:53,750
 of this will change, right?

770
00:33:53,816 --> 00:33:56,983
It won't pass away and he he is the same yesterday

771
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,500
 today and forever more.

772
00:33:58,566 --> 00:34:01,566
And you've got a

773
00:34:01,566 --> 00:34:04,983
 world out there today that wants to say, well,

774
00:34:04,983 --> 00:34:08,633
 you know, this is just the way that was then.

775
00:34:08,766 --> 00:34:11,816
And this is why it was written like this for, you know,

776
00:34:11,816 --> 00:34:14,816
 and try to change the, the, yeah, the mind

777
00:34:14,816 --> 00:34:16,250
 of God doesn't change, right?

778
00:34:16,316 --> 00:34:18,949
We like to make God in our image, don't we?

779
00:34:19,016 --> 00:34:19,433
Yeah we do.

780
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:19,966
Big time.

781
00:34:20,033 --> 00:34:23,266
We like to we like to build him up like we want him to be.

782
00:34:23,333 --> 00:34:27,166
I had somebody somebody

783
00:34:27,183 --> 00:34:30,183
 had messaged me today about a new song that's coming out.

784
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:33,599
And I

785
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:36,599
 might get into it another day, but I think it's

786
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:39,599
 coming out Friday and they messaged me and asked

787
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:40,949
 me what I thought about it.

788
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,449
And I listened to it and it's not, I hadn't heard the

789
00:34:44,466 --> 00:34:45,716
 full version of it.

790
00:34:45,783 --> 00:34:47,699
It was just a few verses of it.

791
00:34:47,766 --> 00:34:51,000
Uh, and uh, and it's, you

792
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,233
 know, there's truths in it, but, but, um, but what the,

793
00:34:54,233 --> 00:34:58,133
 the, the, the songwriter was, was saying uh,

794
00:34:58,133 --> 00:35:01,449
 can also be heavily misconstrued because he's talking about uh,

795
00:35:01,966 --> 00:35:05,099
 uh, a Jesus that he thought he knew, but he didn't know,

796
00:35:05,099 --> 00:35:08,266
 and this Jesus that he knows is, uh, how

797
00:35:08,283 --> 00:35:12,050
 forgiving he is and how, um, how he'll

798
00:35:12,066 --> 00:35:15,416
 meet you where you are and which all those things are true, but basically it

799
00:35:15,416 --> 00:35:18,416
 also gives the impression that he might leave

800
00:35:18,483 --> 00:35:20,516
you there too, and still be your Jesus.

801
00:35:20,583 --> 00:35:22,383
And that's where you got to be careful.

802
00:35:22,433 --> 00:35:25,900
And that's where we want that, that's what the world wants.

803
00:35:25,983 --> 00:35:29,816
They wanted Jesus who will save them in their

804
00:35:29,816 --> 00:35:32,683
 sins, but leave them alone and let them sin.

805
00:35:32,766 --> 00:35:33,116
Yeah.

806
00:35:33,116 --> 00:35:35,516
And that's not, that's not, just don't change me.

807
00:35:35,583 --> 00:35:36,416
Yeah, don't change me.

808
00:35:36,483 --> 00:35:38,883
Don't try to...

809
00:35:38,933 --> 00:35:40,366
I'll never forget.

810
00:35:40,433 --> 00:35:44,500
I think it was the 1st time we

811
00:35:44,516 --> 00:35:47,750
 went from Mountain View to Winter Extreme

812
00:35:47,766 --> 00:35:49,199
 with the youth group.

813
00:35:49,266 --> 00:35:51,783
It was the year I graduated high school.

814
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:54,000
And we go up there.

815
00:35:54,066 --> 00:35:57,483
And that year, we

816
00:35:57,483 --> 00:35:58,800
 had...

817
00:35:58,866 --> 00:36:02,583
Yeah, I don't remember who I was performing.

818
00:36:02,633 --> 00:36:04,250
Actually, Casting Crowns performed that.

819
00:36:04,316 --> 00:36:05,516
I know they performed that year.

820
00:36:05,583 --> 00:36:08,400
That was one of their first, that was shortly after they had just gotten started.

821
00:36:08,466 --> 00:36:09,116
Right.

822
00:36:09,116 --> 00:36:10,616
So they performed that year.

823
00:36:10,683 --> 00:36:13,616
Um, and uh, several others.

824
00:36:13,683 --> 00:36:16,733
But anyway, the speakers, and

825
00:36:16,733 --> 00:36:19,783
 I cannot remember the 1st guy that got up and presented

826
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,533
 the gospel the 1st night.

827
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:25,316
because they always they always had somebody who did a fairly deep,

828
00:36:25,316 --> 00:36:28,366
 like, study and a fairly deep lesson

829
00:36:28,383 --> 00:36:31,383
 each night or at each meeting because they had multiple

830
00:36:31,383 --> 00:36:34,500
 meetings because you'd have like 2 or 3 and then you'd have breaks in between.

831
00:36:34,566 --> 00:36:37,616
And I can't remember who the 1st guy was, but he made

832
00:36:37,616 --> 00:36:40,616
 this, he really went out of his way to make a

833
00:36:40,616 --> 00:36:43,616
 very important point where he was talking about,

834
00:36:43,616 --> 00:36:46,733
 you've heard it said that if you were the only person

835
00:36:46,733 --> 00:36:49,599
 in the world to ever get saved, Jesus Christ would die for you.

836
00:36:49,683 --> 00:36:52,316
And he said, but the fact of the matter is, you're not.

837
00:36:52,433 --> 00:36:55,133
And he did not die just for you.

838
00:36:55,199 --> 00:36:57,000
He died for everyone who will ever be saved.

839
00:36:57,116 --> 00:37:00,166
And he said, so we've got to stop living like

840
00:37:00,183 --> 00:37:03,599
 he only did it for us, and we have to recognize that he did it for everyone that's going to be saved.

841
00:37:03,666 --> 00:37:07,016
And then Josh McDowell.

842
00:37:07,083 --> 00:37:10,383
And that statement is one of his number

843
00:37:10,383 --> 00:37:11,933
 one statements he makes every time.

844
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
If Jesus, if you were the only person to ever get saved,

845
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,916
 Jesus Christ would have gone to the cross for you.

846
00:37:16,983 --> 00:37:20,633
And that is one of his part of when he gives the gospel.

847
00:37:20,699 --> 00:37:21,716
That's one of the things he says.

848
00:37:21,783 --> 00:37:25,133
Well, of course, after the 1st session where Josh

849
00:37:25,133 --> 00:37:28,250
 McDowell spoke, they went to him and said, hey, by the way, right before you

850
00:37:28,266 --> 00:37:31,316
 did this, this guy got up and so he came back

851
00:37:31,316 --> 00:37:34,733
 and I'll never forget, he took the time to clarify for all these kids.

852
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,216
He said, how many of y'all thought

853
00:37:38,216 --> 00:37:39,466
 we were saying 2 different things?

854
00:37:39,533 --> 00:37:41,150
And he said, well, you're kind of right.

855
00:37:41,283 --> 00:37:44,583
He said, but actually, what we're saying is, he said, I'm

856
00:37:44,583 --> 00:37:45,833
 saying it starts with you.

857
00:37:45,900 --> 00:37:47,816
He's saying it doesn't end there.

858
00:37:47,883 --> 00:37:50,883
Yes, Jesus will meet you where

859
00:37:50,883 --> 00:37:53,583
 you are, but he doesn't leave you there.

860
00:37:53,633 --> 00:37:55,183
You cannot end there.

861
00:37:55,266 --> 00:37:58,566
And that was his whole thing because Josh

862
00:37:58,566 --> 00:38:02,933
 McDowell, you got to remember his his ministry is getting you to the cross.

863
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,116
It's getting you to the position where you're going to examine it and possibly get saved.

864
00:38:06,183 --> 00:38:07,983
That's his point is get you there.

865
00:38:08,033 --> 00:38:11,150
This other guy is an evangelist who teaches you, now

866
00:38:11,166 --> 00:38:12,533
 go out and tell.

867
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:15,650
And so it's the same message, but you got the start of the message and

868
00:38:15,666 --> 00:38:18,966
 the end of the message, and it sounds like contradictory statements,

869
00:38:18,966 --> 00:38:20,400
 and the Bible is full of stuff like that.

870
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,400
People try to say, well, this is contradicting itself, and it's like,

871
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,316
 no, no, no, you've got to take it as a whole.

872
00:38:25,383 --> 00:38:28,500
And we have a habit of

873
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:31,066
 just taking the one we like and then leaving the other one alone.

874
00:38:31,133 --> 00:38:34,300
I mean, I grew up my whole life hearing preachers, you know, point out,

875
00:38:34,316 --> 00:38:37,449
 if you were the only one to ever get saved, Jesus would die, and very

876
00:38:37,716 --> 00:38:40,083
 rarely did I hear him get up and say, by the way, he didn't.

877
00:38:40,133 --> 00:38:43,783
And you're not the only one to get saved and you're supposed to go out and tell people now.

878
00:38:43,866 --> 00:38:45,066
Yeah, I believe he died.

879
00:38:45,116 --> 00:38:47,816
I believe you died as much for Adolf Hitler as he did for me.

880
00:38:47,883 --> 00:38:48,650
Absolutely.

881
00:38:48,666 --> 00:38:50,633
Everybody that's ever lived, ever will live.

882
00:38:50,633 --> 00:38:53,683
Because, I mean, Jesus boiled it down in John 3 that

883
00:38:53,699 --> 00:38:54,900
 it's black and white.

884
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:55,983
either you're with me or against me.

885
00:38:56,033 --> 00:38:56,750
Yep.

886
00:38:56,766 --> 00:38:57,183
Amen.

887
00:38:57,183 --> 00:38:57,783
Absolutely.

888
00:38:57,833 --> 00:38:59,566
If you believe, you've been delivered.

889
00:39:00,366 --> 00:39:01,500
And he did not pick and choose.

890
00:39:01,616 --> 00:39:02,816
No.

891
00:39:02,883 --> 00:39:04,250
Man, that's still in my head.

892
00:39:04,383 --> 00:39:06,949
That cartoon was just...

893
00:39:07,083 --> 00:39:09,300
Maybe that's another day.

894
00:39:09,366 --> 00:39:12,366
I don't know, but man, that's go back to

895
00:39:12,366 --> 00:39:13,433
 our Calvinism stuff.

896
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,300
It's really heavy, isn't it?

897
00:39:15,366 --> 00:39:15,966
When you sit,

898
00:39:16,016 --> 00:39:19,133
I mean, it was, it was almost meant to be comical towards

899
00:39:19,133 --> 00:39:22,133
 the Calvinist group that we, I sent him a

900
00:39:22,133 --> 00:39:25,483
 cartoon that day, that had a father

901
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:29,199
 and son, uh, and the son, uh,

902
00:39:29,716 --> 00:39:33,000
 young boy, you know, and the father was looking at him and I can't,

903
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,016
 you may pull it up.

904
00:39:34,083 --> 00:39:34,616
Yeah.

905
00:39:34,616 --> 00:39:36,283
What was it he said to?

906
00:39:36,366 --> 00:39:39,416
The sons, the father, the father says,

907
00:39:39,416 --> 00:39:42,833
 yes, I love you, son, and strongly desire that you be saved,

908
00:39:42,833 --> 00:39:46,966
 but God may have chosen you for reprobation and damnation.

909
00:39:47,033 --> 00:39:50,083
If that's the case, you can't believe, and it wouldn't

910
00:39:50,099 --> 00:39:52,550
 matter if you did, since Jesus didn't die for you.

911
00:39:52,616 --> 00:39:55,666
This is a father talking

912
00:39:55,683 --> 00:39:58,683
 to a son and taking the logical outworking

913
00:39:58,683 --> 00:39:59,883
 of a tulip.

914
00:39:59,933 --> 00:40:01,433
Yeah. of a cow.

915
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:02,566
Right, yeah, yeah.

916
00:40:02,633 --> 00:40:06,233
And when you when you say that to him, they'll say, no, you don't understand.

917
00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:09,300
You don't get it, but yes, yes, when you when it comes

918
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:12,716
 right down to what they believe and what they what they understand.

919
00:40:12,783 --> 00:40:16,616
If you believe that God is sovereign,

920
00:40:16,616 --> 00:40:19,433
 like all of us do, like or like we do.

921
00:40:20,883 --> 00:40:23,883
And they say he's sovereign too, yes, we believe that,

922
00:40:23,883 --> 00:40:25,616
 but we also believe in man's free will.

923
00:40:25,683 --> 00:40:28,683
But, but to be able to be, how would

924
00:40:28,683 --> 00:40:31,800
 you like to be a father and believe that that God

925
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,900
 picks and chooses who he wants to say?

926
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:35,400
And child's life.

927
00:40:35,466 --> 00:40:36,116
Yeah, yeah.

928
00:40:36,183 --> 00:40:39,300
And I mean, from that point on, why would

929
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:42,300
 you worry about anything, if you were, I mean, you

930
00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:44,150
 just go live out the way you want to live, right?

931
00:40:44,216 --> 00:40:45,050
In the pigsty.

932
00:40:45,116 --> 00:40:48,583
Because if I'm going to be saved, I'm going to be saved, and if I'm not, I'm not.

933
00:40:48,666 --> 00:40:52,500
I'm just going to live and enjoy, enjoy life and go out and do what I want to do.

934
00:40:52,566 --> 00:40:54,000
It's like, no.

935
00:40:54,066 --> 00:40:57,416
And again, it comes back to the verse we just read in 15-4.

936
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:00,599
Who will not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name

937
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:03,650
 because you alone are holy, all nations will come

938
00:41:03,666 --> 00:41:07,016
 and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed,

939
00:41:07,016 --> 00:41:09,416
 or the another translation of that righteous acts.

940
00:41:09,483 --> 00:41:13,500
Kings James gets closed is your judgments of condemnation.

941
00:41:13,566 --> 00:41:16,983
And I mean, that's the thing.

942
00:41:17,033 --> 00:41:20,150
He is a righteous and holy God, and he is going to judge us.

943
00:41:20,216 --> 00:41:23,449
And you take that, you take that cartoon to the next level and

944
00:41:23,466 --> 00:41:26,883
 it's like, well, you know, God appointed me for damnation.

945
00:41:26,933 --> 00:41:29,199
Shouldn't I live out?

946
00:41:29,283 --> 00:41:30,416
He appointed me to sin.

947
00:41:30,483 --> 00:41:32,583
Yeah, I went out of the sin is his fault.

948
00:41:32,633 --> 00:41:33,833
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

949
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:37,133
Then, yeah, then you're bringing in a whole different theology right there.

950
00:41:37,199 --> 00:41:37,666
Yeah.

951
00:41:37,733 --> 00:41:38,083
Yeah.

952
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:40,500
So God is responsible for your sin all of a sudden.

953
00:41:40,566 --> 00:41:41,466
Yeah, right, no.

954
00:41:41,516 --> 00:41:42,466
Yeah.

955
00:41:42,483 --> 00:41:43,383
Yeah.

956
00:41:43,433 --> 00:41:44,750
It is amazing to me.

957
00:41:44,816 --> 00:41:48,050
And I, and this is one of the things that always has bothered

958
00:41:48,066 --> 00:41:51,066
 me so bad about that Calvinist idea is they get,

959
00:41:51,066 --> 00:41:54,066
 they, they go so far with it and they, and

960
00:41:54,066 --> 00:41:55,083
 then they stop thinking.

961
00:41:55,266 --> 00:41:58,683
You have to just turn off your brain at some point because

962
00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:02,583
 if you take it to the logical conclusion, suddenly you're

963
00:42:02,583 --> 00:42:04,916
 making the exact same argument that I've heard from atheists.

964
00:42:04,983 --> 00:42:09,050
Well, obviously God is not all good because he created sin.

965
00:42:09,116 --> 00:42:12,949
And it's like, uh, no, no, that's not how that works.

966
00:42:13,016 --> 00:42:16,133
But if you take the Calvinist

967
00:42:16,133 --> 00:42:18,050
 argument all the way to its logical conclusion.

968
00:42:18,116 --> 00:42:21,283
It has to be how it works because God is so

969
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:24,650
 sovereign and so perfect and so omniscient and so controlling

970
00:42:24,666 --> 00:42:27,666
 that, yeah, he created sin and he chose

971
00:42:27,666 --> 00:42:31,433
 those who would live in sin and would die in sin and would die and go to hell.

972
00:42:31,433 --> 00:42:33,650
And it's like, but he's a holy God.

973
00:42:33,716 --> 00:42:37,666
Sin is the perversion of the good that God is.

974
00:42:37,733 --> 00:42:40,666
And yeah, well, it's not even the opposite.

975
00:42:40,733 --> 00:42:41,500
It's the perversion.

976
00:42:41,583 --> 00:42:45,533
I mean, you take everything, sex out within the bounds of marriage.

977
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:46,066
Good thing.

978
00:42:46,133 --> 00:42:48,766
Outside the bounds of marriage, it's a perversion.

979
00:42:48,833 --> 00:42:52,666
It is a, it will damage you and it causes so much heartache and pain.

980
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,150
You take the things he gives us to treat

981
00:42:56,166 --> 00:42:59,283
 wounds and to to deal with pain and to deal with

982
00:42:59,283 --> 00:43:01,316
 hurts and to the medicines and things like that.

983
00:43:01,383 --> 00:43:04,016
Well, yeah, if you take it for that.

984
00:43:04,199 --> 00:43:04,666
It's good.

985
00:43:04,733 --> 00:43:08,266
You take it outside of that, you very

986
00:43:08,283 --> 00:43:11,033
 possibly and more likely will become a drug addict.

987
00:43:11,099 --> 00:43:13,966
And then your life is ruled by something that has nothing to do with him.

988
00:43:14,033 --> 00:43:17,633
You take, again, it's, it's, that's darkness

989
00:43:17,633 --> 00:43:19,300
 is not the opposite of light.

990
00:43:19,383 --> 00:43:20,400
It's the absence of light.

991
00:43:20,466 --> 00:43:22,800
And that's exactly what sin is.

992
00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:25,916
It is the perversion and the absence of the holiness of God.

993
00:43:25,983 --> 00:43:26,633
Amen.

994
00:43:26,633 --> 00:43:26,949
Amen.

995
00:43:28,316 --> 00:43:31,316
And Psalms chapter 7 verse

996
00:43:31,316 --> 00:43:34,666
 9 says, oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end.

997
00:43:34,733 --> 00:43:37,733
but establish the just, for the righteous God

998
00:43:37,733 --> 00:43:39,466
 try the hearts of rains.

999
00:43:39,533 --> 00:43:42,766
Psalms 11, 7, for the righteous

1000
00:43:42,783 --> 00:43:45,783
 Lord loveth righteousness, his countenance doth

1001
00:43:45,783 --> 00:43:46,983
 behold the upright.

1002
00:43:47,033 --> 00:43:47,983
He is a righteous God.

1003
00:43:48,116 --> 00:43:51,650
Psalms 107, uh,

1004
00:43:51,666 --> 00:43:54,900
 oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy

1005
00:43:54,900 --> 00:43:56,033
 endureth forever.

1006
00:43:56,099 --> 00:43:56,633
Verse 40

1007
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,349
He poureth contempt upon princes

1008
00:44:00,366 --> 00:44:03,783
 and causeth them to wander in the wilderness where

1009
00:44:03,783 --> 00:44:05,216
 there is no way.

1010
00:44:05,216 --> 00:44:06,716
Verse 42.

1011
00:44:06,966 --> 00:44:10,083
The righteous shall see it and rejoice, and all

1012
00:44:10,083 --> 00:44:13,500
 iniquity shall stop her mouth.

1013
00:44:13,566 --> 00:44:16,866
So, yeah, I mean, he is a he is a righteous God.

1014
00:44:16,916 --> 00:44:18,050
He is a holy God.

1015
00:44:18,116 --> 00:44:19,616
He is a loving God.

1016
00:44:19,683 --> 00:44:22,199
He did not create sin.

1017
00:44:22,266 --> 00:44:25,316
He created us with a choice

1018
00:44:25,316 --> 00:44:28,849
 or, again, you would

1019
00:44:28,866 --> 00:44:32,099
 have to say that God created saying if you didn't believe we had a choice, right?

1020
00:44:32,166 --> 00:44:34,983
I mean, because he put he put Satan.

1021
00:44:35,033 --> 00:44:38,933
He put Satan in a place where he made a choice, right?

1022
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,966
Either follow me or you follow yourself.

1023
00:44:41,033 --> 00:44:42,050
And he followed himself.

1024
00:44:42,066 --> 00:44:43,316
And then Satan.

1025
00:44:43,383 --> 00:44:46,016
came to earth where we had a choice.

1026
00:44:46,083 --> 00:44:46,916
You have.

1027
00:44:47,216 --> 00:44:48,349
Why would he even put that tree there?

1028
00:44:48,416 --> 00:44:49,483
I mean, why?

1029
00:44:49,566 --> 00:44:53,466
Why would that tree be there at all if God's

1030
00:44:53,466 --> 00:44:54,533
 already laid everything out?

1031
00:44:54,599 --> 00:44:56,516
Why put something there that you must choose?

1032
00:44:56,583 --> 00:44:57,483
Right?

1033
00:44:57,533 --> 00:45:00,650
Because the only way we have to show love to him is our obedience.

1034
00:45:00,716 --> 00:45:01,666
That's exactly right.

1035
00:45:01,733 --> 00:45:02,449
That's it.

1036
00:45:02,516 --> 00:45:03,116
That's it.

1037
00:45:03,233 --> 00:45:06,233
We, we are, we, when we are

1038
00:45:06,233 --> 00:45:09,400
 obedient to God, then we're, we're

1039
00:45:09,416 --> 00:45:12,583
 showing him that we respect him, that we love him as a father,

1040
00:45:12,599 --> 00:45:16,199
 that we trust him, and that we trust him with our lives and our eternities.

1041
00:45:16,266 --> 00:45:18,599
He didn't give us rules to be mean, man.

1042
00:45:18,666 --> 00:45:21,483
It's to protect us and to protect others from us.

1043
00:45:21,533 --> 00:45:24,650
And anyway, I'm sorry I let it

1044
00:45:24,666 --> 00:45:26,099
 down that Calvinist rabbit hole.

1045
00:45:26,166 --> 00:45:29,633
It was a good spot to point it out.

1046
00:45:29,699 --> 00:45:31,800
All right, verse five.

1047
00:45:31,866 --> 00:45:34,866
After these things, I looked, and the temple of the

1048
00:45:34,866 --> 00:45:38,216
 tabernacle of testimony in heaven was opened, and

1049
00:45:38,216 --> 00:45:41,866
 the 7 angels who had the 7 plagues came out of the temple,

1050
00:45:41,883 --> 00:45:45,000
 clothed in linen, clean and bright, and girded around

1051
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,550
 their chests with golden sashes.

1052
00:45:46,616 --> 00:45:48,833
You read the next one too.

1053
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:49,550
Yeah.

1054
00:45:49,616 --> 00:45:52,666
Then one of the 4 living creatures gave to the

1055
00:45:52,683 --> 00:45:55,983
 7 angels 7 golden bowls full of

1056
00:45:55,983 --> 00:45:58,550
 the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.

1057
00:45:58,616 --> 00:46:01,916
So this is this is the temple not made with hands.

1058
00:46:01,983 --> 00:46:05,816
This is the temple in heaven or tabernacle of testimony.

1059
00:46:05,883 --> 00:46:09,833
And uh, man, this is just, I can't even imagine what it looks like.

1060
00:46:09,966 --> 00:46:10,800
Oh, no.

1061
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,800
Yeah, Tampa was referred to 15 times in

1062
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:18,000
 Revelation after chapter after chapter 3. after chapter 3.

1063
00:46:18,183 --> 00:46:18,650
Wow.

1064
00:46:18,716 --> 00:46:22,849
And that's significant because the

1065
00:46:22,866 --> 00:46:24,833
 church is not identified with a temple.

1066
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,949
There will there will not be

1067
00:46:27,966 --> 00:46:30,833
 a temple in the new Jerusalem where the church is going.

1068
00:46:30,900 --> 00:46:34,366
So when he talks about the temple,

1069
00:46:34,383 --> 00:46:37,383
 he's dealing with the people who have had the temple,

1070
00:46:37,383 --> 00:46:38,933
 who know what temple worship was.

1071
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,616
He's dealing with his chosen people.

1072
00:46:40,683 --> 00:46:41,699
He's dealing with Israel.

1073
00:46:41,766 --> 00:46:45,116
When he talks about being clothed in linen,

1074
00:46:45,183 --> 00:46:49,016
Another meaning is the angels are clothed in precious stones.

1075
00:46:49,083 --> 00:46:51,483
They got precious stones.

1076
00:46:51,533 --> 00:46:55,483
It means their garments are studded and set

1077
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:56,699
 in precious stones, right?

1078
00:46:56,766 --> 00:46:57,533
Yeah.

1079
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:59,633
And they've come out of the holy of holies.

1080
00:46:59,633 --> 00:47:00,650
Yeah.

1081
00:47:00,716 --> 00:47:00,883
Yeah.

1082
00:47:00,966 --> 00:47:02,333
Because they're they're pure.

1083
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:02,933
They are.

1084
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:03,466
They are.

1085
00:47:03,533 --> 00:47:04,133
pure.

1086
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:05,449
They don't have to wear a bale.

1087
00:47:05,516 --> 00:47:07,616
They don't have to have a rope tied around their leg or anything.

1088
00:47:07,683 --> 00:47:11,449
No, no, no, but the garments do identify.

1089
00:47:11,516 --> 00:47:14,266
in a priestly activity, don't they?

1090
00:47:14,333 --> 00:47:17,333
Yeah, but they're in perfection, but there are no

1091
00:47:17,333 --> 00:47:20,500
 acts of mercy here, only, but

1092
00:47:20,516 --> 00:47:21,949
 only plagues and judgment.

1093
00:47:22,016 --> 00:47:25,666
No, no mercy is going to be, it's going to be coming in this.

1094
00:47:25,733 --> 00:47:28,733
The Golden Girls represent the work of Christ there.

1095
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,150
They're they're doing as they as they carry out his judgment.

1096
00:47:32,216 --> 00:47:33,716
Yeah.

1097
00:47:33,716 --> 00:47:34,366
Yeah.

1098
00:47:34,383 --> 00:47:34,699
Man.

1099
00:47:36,066 --> 00:47:39,666
These scenes, you know, I've always

1100
00:47:39,666 --> 00:47:42,533
 tried to picture heaven in my mind and I give up pretty quick.

1101
00:47:42,599 --> 00:47:43,316
Yeah.

1102
00:47:43,316 --> 00:47:44,816
I just can't imagine.

1103
00:47:44,883 --> 00:47:47,449
Can you imagine John trying to describe this stuff?

1104
00:47:47,583 --> 00:47:50,750
And I feel like if I try to imagine

1105
00:47:50,766 --> 00:47:53,283
 it that I'm I know that I'm going to come.

1106
00:47:53,466 --> 00:47:56,766
short, you know, so I'm just like, I just trust you, guys.

1107
00:47:56,883 --> 00:47:57,533
No, it's good.

1108
00:47:57,599 --> 00:47:59,516
We got gold streets and stuff.

1109
00:47:59,583 --> 00:48:00,650
All just go with that, you know?

1110
00:48:00,716 --> 00:48:03,466
Yeah, this is what you tell me.

1111
00:48:03,533 --> 00:48:06,583
So, yeah, yeah, I

1112
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:09,650
 can't, I can't imagine what it's going to be like to.

1113
00:48:09,716 --> 00:48:13,133
Yeah, there's some beautiful places in this world.

1114
00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:13,916
Yeah.

1115
00:48:13,916 --> 00:48:16,916
I haven't got to go to a lot of them, but I've

1116
00:48:16,916 --> 00:48:20,683
 got to go to some, and there's some, there's some beautiful scenery,

1117
00:48:20,699 --> 00:48:21,949
 some oceans.

1118
00:48:22,016 --> 00:48:23,516
You know, we've got to go on

1119
00:48:23,816 --> 00:48:26,933
we got the cruise on some islands and stuff that and and be

1120
00:48:26,933 --> 00:48:30,099
 on some some beaches that are the sand is is why

1121
00:48:30,116 --> 00:48:33,416
 like and feels like baby powder and and the

1122
00:48:33,416 --> 00:48:37,483
 ocean is like is like pool water for,

1123
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:40,550
 you know, for 100s and 100s of yards out into the ocean

1124
00:48:40,566 --> 00:48:41,633
 before it gets deep.

1125
00:48:41,699 --> 00:48:45,599
And just, I mean, paradise.

1126
00:48:45,666 --> 00:48:46,916
I mean, paradise.

1127
00:48:47,033 --> 00:48:50,983
But you take that and it's not even going to, you know, close, is it?

1128
00:48:51,066 --> 00:48:54,900
No, majestic mountains, these mountain ranges.

1129
00:48:54,966 --> 00:48:59,033
They're just so beautiful in these valleys with rich,

1130
00:48:59,033 --> 00:49:02,199
 green, you know, foliage and rivers

1131
00:49:02,216 --> 00:49:05,449
 and lakes and streams that are just,

1132
00:49:05,466 --> 00:49:06,833
 man, I mean...

1133
00:49:06,833 --> 00:49:10,183
And even like, like, uh, like since creation, that

1134
00:49:10,199 --> 00:49:11,400
 everything's just dulled.

1135
00:49:11,466 --> 00:49:14,633
Who knows how many 1000s of times it's duller

1136
00:49:14,633 --> 00:49:16,599
 it is.

1137
00:49:16,683 --> 00:49:19,199
And what's it going to look like in that 1000 year range?

1138
00:49:19,266 --> 00:49:19,733
Oh, man.

1139
00:49:19,733 --> 00:49:20,500
It's going to pop again.

1140
00:49:20,633 --> 00:49:21,400
It is.

1141
00:49:21,483 --> 00:49:22,016
It is, yeah.

1142
00:49:22,083 --> 00:49:22,616
awesome.

1143
00:49:22,683 --> 00:49:25,383
Yeah, we don't have to worry about 4 seasons anymore.

1144
00:49:25,433 --> 00:49:27,949
There's going to be one season of...

1145
00:49:28,016 --> 00:49:29,150
75 all time.

1146
00:49:29,216 --> 00:49:29,866
Oh man.

1147
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,233
I'm saying,

1148
00:49:33,233 --> 00:49:35,800
 I think it hopefully it'll feel different to everybody else.

1149
00:49:35,933 --> 00:49:37,300
I was hoping for about 68.

1150
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:43,250
Brian, you've been over messing with that?

1151
00:49:43,383 --> 00:49:44,883
thermostat again?

1152
00:49:44,933 --> 00:49:46,300
thermostat.

1153
00:49:46,383 --> 00:49:47,283
Sorry, Lord.

1154
00:49:47,333 --> 00:49:48,400
Sorry, Lord.

1155
00:49:48,483 --> 00:49:50,033
No, it was Dennis.

1156
00:49:50,099 --> 00:49:52,433
It's getting hot.

1157
00:49:52,433 --> 00:49:53,199
I didn't hear.

1158
00:49:55,466 --> 00:49:56,333
Don't finish that song.

1159
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,199
Don't finish that one.

1160
00:49:58,266 --> 00:49:58,466
Okay.

1161
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:06,949
Sometimes we just pick up stuff we hear and I didn't even think about it.

1162
00:50:07,216 --> 00:50:08,966
Yeah, I know what I've got.

1163
00:50:10,216 --> 00:50:13,683
But yeah, so...

1164
00:50:13,733 --> 00:50:17,750
And, uh, it got I got 7 golden

1165
00:50:17,766 --> 00:50:20,400
 bowls full of the wrath of God.

1166
00:50:20,466 --> 00:50:21,966
There's not halfway.

1167
00:50:22,683 --> 00:50:23,516
They're full.

1168
00:50:23,583 --> 00:50:24,116
Yes.

1169
00:50:24,116 --> 00:50:24,766
They're full.

1170
00:50:24,833 --> 00:50:27,050
And this is this is the completion of God's wrath.

1171
00:50:27,116 --> 00:50:28,783
Right, it's the number of completion.

1172
00:50:28,866 --> 00:50:31,016
Yeah, yeah, number of perfections.

1173
00:50:31,083 --> 00:50:34,316
So we're seeing, I mean, we're seeing judgment

1174
00:50:34,316 --> 00:50:37,366
 being carried out and finished here.

1175
00:50:37,566 --> 00:50:40,733
And we have to notice that these bowls are, like you said,

1176
00:50:40,733 --> 00:50:45,283
 our vowels are not full of

1177
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:48,050
 the love of God, but they're full of the wrath of God.

1178
00:50:48,116 --> 00:50:49,366
Right?

1179
00:50:49,433 --> 00:50:51,533
I mean, they're not basking in his love.

1180
00:50:51,599 --> 00:50:55,433
They're basking in his wrath basking in his wrath.

1181
00:50:55,566 --> 00:50:58,616
By the way, it's interesting to note that they

1182
00:50:58,616 --> 00:51:01,666
 were dressed in clean, shining linen,

1183
00:51:01,683 --> 00:51:05,033
 and wore the golden sashes around their chest, and yet they're carrying this wrath.

1184
00:51:05,166 --> 00:51:05,699
Yeah.

1185
00:51:05,699 --> 00:51:08,699
Even God's wrath is pure enough

1186
00:51:08,699 --> 00:51:11,150
 that they're not being...

1187
00:51:11,216 --> 00:51:11,983
perfectly pure.

1188
00:51:12,116 --> 00:51:12,883
the thing about it.

1189
00:51:12,966 --> 00:51:14,633
Yeah, it's it's pure.

1190
00:51:14,766 --> 00:51:15,116
perfect.

1191
00:51:15,233 --> 00:51:16,849
It's not dirty.

1192
00:51:16,916 --> 00:51:17,633
It's not evil.

1193
00:51:17,699 --> 00:51:18,833
It's not darkness.

1194
00:51:18,900 --> 00:51:22,316
It is the results of it are bad.

1195
00:51:22,383 --> 00:51:24,716
But the wrath itself is still pure.

1196
00:51:24,783 --> 00:51:27,300
You can contrast that with Satan's wrath.

1197
00:51:27,366 --> 00:51:28,383
That's right.

1198
00:51:28,433 --> 00:51:28,900
That's right.

1199
00:51:28,983 --> 00:51:31,083
That's just dirty and ugly and filthy.

1200
00:51:31,133 --> 00:51:32,333
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1201
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,633
And, and, and this is, um, I mean,

1202
00:51:35,633 --> 00:51:38,933
 this rat that he's pouring out is,

1203
00:51:38,933 --> 00:51:41,683
 is, it is out of God's anger, right?

1204
00:51:41,766 --> 00:51:43,383
And it's righteous anger.

1205
00:51:43,433 --> 00:51:44,266
It's righteous anger.

1206
00:51:44,333 --> 00:51:45,766
It's completely righteous anger.

1207
00:51:45,833 --> 00:51:49,599
Grab that one more verse.

1208
00:51:49,683 --> 00:51:50,583
Want to do that?

1209
00:51:50,633 --> 00:51:51,400
Verse eight?

1210
00:51:51,483 --> 00:51:52,199
verse eight.

1211
00:51:52,266 --> 00:51:55,433
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God,

1212
00:51:55,433 --> 00:51:58,483
 and from his power, and no man was able

1213
00:51:58,500 --> 00:52:01,616
 to enter into the temple till the 7 plagues of the

1214
00:52:01,616 --> 00:52:02,983
 7 angels were fulfilled.

1215
00:52:03,066 --> 00:52:06,366
So this sanctuary was filled

1216
00:52:06,366 --> 00:52:08,166
 with smoke from the glory of God.

1217
00:52:08,216 --> 00:52:11,216
And again, just seeing

1218
00:52:11,216 --> 00:52:14,199
 that these are these are temple acts.

1219
00:52:14,716 --> 00:52:18,000
Uh, they it should tell us that

1220
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,216
 the church is not involved in this, right?

1221
00:52:20,283 --> 00:52:23,516
These are these are these are ancient acts that are taking place.

1222
00:52:23,583 --> 00:52:26,933
neither neither the temple nor the tabernacle

1223
00:52:26,933 --> 00:52:28,433
 has anything to do with the church.

1224
00:52:28,866 --> 00:52:28,916
okay

1225
00:52:29,033 --> 00:52:30,166
We're separate from that.

1226
00:52:30,233 --> 00:52:33,233
Seven golden bowls represents the

1227
00:52:33,233 --> 00:52:34,783
 final part of the great tribulation.

1228
00:52:34,866 --> 00:52:37,966
And I believe bowls, uh,

1229
00:52:38,466 --> 00:52:42,300
 better describe temple activity because that's

1230
00:52:42,300 --> 00:52:45,766
 what they would have used inside the temple, uh,

1231
00:52:45,783 --> 00:52:48,833
 in in, uh, in ancient times or

1232
00:52:48,833 --> 00:52:51,883
 in, in, uh, as we read about in the Old Testament.

1233
00:52:51,966 --> 00:52:56,033
A bowl of blood would be taken into the temple by the priest for the redemption of sin.

1234
00:52:56,099 --> 00:52:59,566
And a world that has rejected

1235
00:52:59,583 --> 00:53:02,750
 the blood of Christ, must now bear

1236
00:53:02,766 --> 00:53:04,433
 the judgment for their sins.

1237
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:06,300
They've got to take it.

1238
00:53:06,366 --> 00:53:09,833
We've seen the the, the, the gentle Jesus,

1239
00:53:09,833 --> 00:53:11,633
 but now we're seeing the wrath of the lamb.

1240
00:53:11,699 --> 00:53:13,550
Yeah, the wrath of the lamb.

1241
00:53:13,616 --> 00:53:15,716
That's just yeah, yeah.

1242
00:53:15,783 --> 00:53:16,199
Yeah.

1243
00:53:16,266 --> 00:53:19,916
Yeah, it's, it seems, seems, I guess, an oxymoron.

1244
00:53:19,983 --> 00:53:20,750
moron, yeah.

1245
00:53:20,816 --> 00:53:21,466
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1246
00:53:21,533 --> 00:53:24,949
Yeah, and that cloud, it's the one that gets me.

1247
00:53:25,016 --> 00:53:27,716
It shows his holiness.

1248
00:53:27,783 --> 00:53:29,933
I was looking at Exodus 40,34.

1249
00:53:30,366 --> 00:53:35,099
And this is Times of Moses, of course.

1250
00:53:35,166 --> 00:53:38,466
And he says, then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and

1251
00:53:38,466 --> 00:53:40,800
 the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

1252
00:53:40,866 --> 00:53:43,916
Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the

1253
00:53:43,916 --> 00:53:47,216
 cloud had settled on it and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

1254
00:53:47,283 --> 00:53:48,233
Yeah.

1255
00:53:48,300 --> 00:53:51,300
And there's another place in Isaiah where he talks about the train

1256
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:52,849
 of his robe.

1257
00:53:52,916 --> 00:53:54,166
fill in the temples.

1258
00:53:54,233 --> 00:53:54,650
Yeah.

1259
00:53:54,716 --> 00:53:55,316
Yeah.

1260
00:53:55,383 --> 00:53:55,916
Yeah.

1261
00:53:55,983 --> 00:53:57,449
Wow.

1262
00:53:58,316 --> 00:53:59,866
Yeah, respect.

1263
00:53:59,933 --> 00:54:00,650
Yeah.

1264
00:54:00,716 --> 00:54:02,383
That's exactly right.

1265
00:54:02,466 --> 00:54:02,883
Yeah.

1266
00:54:02,933 --> 00:54:06,466
That's when Isaiah was cleansing his mouth during that time.

1267
00:54:06,533 --> 00:54:07,300
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1268
00:54:07,383 --> 00:54:07,916
Yeah.

1269
00:54:07,983 --> 00:54:09,533
Touch the cold.

1270
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:11,516
I'm a man of unclean lips.

1271
00:54:11,583 --> 00:54:12,183
Yeah, yeah.

1272
00:54:12,233 --> 00:54:15,949
I don't I don't need to be here, you know.

1273
00:54:16,016 --> 00:54:19,183
You know, and it's

1274
00:54:19,199 --> 00:54:20,750
 not just God's glory.

1275
00:54:20,816 --> 00:54:23,333
You know, I mean, it says it's from God's glory.

1276
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,016
and from his power.

1277
00:54:25,083 --> 00:54:28,083
I mean, this is God's glory

1278
00:54:28,083 --> 00:54:30,783
 and power being just unveiled.

1279
00:54:30,833 --> 00:54:33,883
And it is so much that we're not able

1280
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:36,949
 to, even, even in these, even in,

1281
00:54:36,966 --> 00:54:40,083
 in the bodies we have at this point, which are not our earthly bodies,

1282
00:54:40,083 --> 00:54:43,199
 I mean, we've already been given a different body now, it's not the final one, it's

1283
00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:46,250
 not what comes at the very end, but we have a new body.

1284
00:54:46,316 --> 00:54:49,316
It's something that is that is able to exist in heaven and

1285
00:54:49,316 --> 00:54:52,966
 is able to move and is able to, and we still can't walk.

1286
00:54:53,033 --> 00:54:55,599
I mean, it is so awesome and mighty and powerful.

1287
00:54:55,683 --> 00:54:57,599
And again, righteous.

1288
00:54:57,666 --> 00:54:59,216
It is so righteous.

1289
00:54:59,283 --> 00:55:02,449
We are unable to even approach it because it's just, it's perfect.

1290
00:55:02,516 --> 00:55:02,816
Yeah.

1291
00:55:02,816 --> 00:55:07,316
We, uh,

1292
00:55:07,316 --> 00:55:10,483
 and and which we'll get into 16 next week,

1293
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:14,266
 uh, and uh, and we're going to see, we're going

1294
00:55:14,283 --> 00:55:17,583
 to continue looking at these, at these last plagues,

1295
00:55:17,583 --> 00:55:20,750
 um, and uh, uh, we're

1296
00:55:20,766 --> 00:55:23,933
 going to see in 17, the woman and the Scarlet Beast,

1297
00:55:23,933 --> 00:55:26,449
 and uh, the mystery of Babylon.

1298
00:55:26,516 --> 00:55:30,050
And we're getting into the juice of it now.

1299
00:55:30,116 --> 00:55:31,366
big time.

1300
00:55:31,433 --> 00:55:34,599
And so if you hadn't

1301
00:55:34,616 --> 00:55:37,616
 tuned in, uh, uh, we'd love for

1302
00:55:37,616 --> 00:55:40,666
 you to, to, to listen, go back and listen, if you're just tuned

1303
00:55:40,683 --> 00:55:41,933
 in tonight, go back and listen.

1304
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Go back to chapter one with us and go all

1305
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:49,133
 the way through these and listen to us,

1306
00:55:49,133 --> 00:55:52,183
 bring what God's word tells us out of

1307
00:55:52,199 --> 00:55:55,733
 this, hopefully, that maybe give you a better understanding.

1308
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,849
Maybe give you a better understanding of what's going on here and

1309
00:55:58,866 --> 00:56:00,416
 what's going to take place.

1310
00:56:00,483 --> 00:56:02,583
And if you're not saved.

1311
00:56:02,633 --> 00:56:05,683
Uh, hopefully, um, bring you to a place

1312
00:56:05,699 --> 00:56:08,816
 where the Holy Spirit can deal with your heart and and you

1313
00:56:08,816 --> 00:56:12,116
 can accept salvation and you don't have to worry about this, right?

1314
00:56:12,183 --> 00:56:12,833
Amen.

1315
00:56:12,833 --> 00:56:15,833
The rapture of the church is coming.

1316
00:56:15,900 --> 00:56:16,616
I believe in it.

1317
00:56:16,683 --> 00:56:19,983
I trust in it and I believe it's,

1318
00:56:19,983 --> 00:56:21,183
 I believe it's coming soon one day.

1319
00:56:21,233 --> 00:56:24,400
And the Bible promises, you know, that we're not destined for wrath.

1320
00:56:24,533 --> 00:56:25,250
That's right.

1321
00:56:25,316 --> 00:56:25,733
That's right.

1322
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,816
And he's not coming after to

1323
00:56:29,816 --> 00:56:31,483
 bring wrath on his bride.

1324
00:56:31,566 --> 00:56:32,400
That's right.

1325
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,016
The church is his bride.

1326
00:56:34,083 --> 00:56:34,616
Yes.

1327
00:56:34,616 --> 00:56:35,933
He's coming to get her.

1328
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:36,716
That's right.

1329
00:56:36,716 --> 00:56:38,566
At a day and hour, we don't know.

1330
00:56:38,633 --> 00:56:39,166
That's right

1331
00:56:39,366 --> 00:56:39,833
Amen.

1332
00:56:39,900 --> 00:56:40,916
Amen.

1333
00:56:40,983 --> 00:56:41,199
Yeah.

1334
00:56:43,266 --> 00:56:45,599
All right.

1335
00:56:45,666 --> 00:56:48,833
Well, I think that winds us down for the week, and

1336
00:56:48,833 --> 00:56:52,433
 we'll be back with Revelation chapter 16, verse one.

1337
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:53,566
Hey, I like it.

1338
00:56:53,633 --> 00:56:54,466
made it a whole chapter again.

1339
00:56:54,533 --> 00:56:55,483
Love it.

1340
00:56:55,566 --> 00:56:58,616
Chapter 16, verse one next week,

1341
00:56:58,616 --> 00:56:59,699
 and, uh...

1342
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,066
This where it starts, that 16,

1343
00:57:04,383 --> 00:57:08,333
You know, we've we've talked about there are some chapters in in Revelation that are pretty hard.

1344
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,516
16 is a hard one for me, just because it's hard to read.

1345
00:57:11,583 --> 00:57:14,583
Not necessarily because it's the words aren't difficult.

1346
00:57:14,633 --> 00:57:16,849
The meaning is not terribly difficult.

1347
00:57:16,916 --> 00:57:20,333
It's pretty straightforward, but boy, it's hard to look

1348
00:57:20,333 --> 00:57:21,533
 at because we are.

1349
00:57:21,599 --> 00:57:23,333
We're being given a glimpse of God's wrath.

1350
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,566
Just when I feel sorry for people in this thing,

1351
00:57:26,583 --> 00:57:28,500
 you go, and they wouldn't repent.

1352
00:57:28,566 --> 00:57:29,216
Right.

1353
00:57:29,283 --> 00:57:29,933
Yeah, yeah.

1354
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:30,949
Well, okay.

1355
00:57:31,016 --> 00:57:34,849
To me, to me, that's what makes it so hard to read.

1356
00:57:34,916 --> 00:57:38,949
to realize how hard-hearted and evil.

1357
00:57:40,199 --> 00:57:43,733
How much of a foothold evil has gotten.

1358
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,849
And I read that and I see that every time I go

1359
00:57:46,866 --> 00:57:50,033
 through Revelation 16 and I'm just like, oh, man.

1360
00:57:50,099 --> 00:57:53,150
Everything that they're that's being poured out, though,

1361
00:57:53,166 --> 00:57:57,066
 on man here, um, has been poured out on Jesus Christ himself.

1362
00:57:57,116 --> 00:57:58,616
You know?

1363
00:57:58,683 --> 00:57:59,216
Oh, yeah.

1364
00:57:59,216 --> 00:58:00,650
Let this cup pass from me.

1365
00:58:00,716 --> 00:58:03,766
I still go back to that if there's any other way,

1366
00:58:03,783 --> 00:58:06,833
 Lord, let this cup pass from me, but there was not

1367
00:58:06,833 --> 00:58:07,966
 another way.

1368
00:58:08,033 --> 00:58:11,566
And so the full undiluted

1369
00:58:11,583 --> 00:58:14,633
 wrath of God was poured out on his sons

1370
00:58:14,633 --> 00:58:16,733
 for the judgment of man.

1371
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,433
He paid that price, right?

1372
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:22,133
I mean, they you don't have to go through this.

1373
00:58:22,199 --> 00:58:23,633
You don't have to face this on your own.

1374
00:58:23,699 --> 00:58:26,933
Christ has already taken this upon himself and

1375
00:58:26,933 --> 00:58:29,983
 he's paid the price that we couldn't pay because

1376
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,133
 they're going to pay with their lives.

1377
00:58:31,199 --> 00:58:32,699
They're going to pay with eternity in hell.

1378
00:58:32,766 --> 00:58:35,766
But he paid the price that we couldn't pay so that we could

1379
00:58:35,766 --> 00:58:38,766
 have a home that we couldn't build this so that we could go to a place

1380
00:58:38,766 --> 00:58:40,500
 that he created for us.

1381
00:58:40,616 --> 00:58:41,449
Amen.

1382
00:58:41,466 --> 00:58:44,400
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son.

1383
00:58:44,466 --> 00:58:45,900
And we can't ignore that.

1384
00:58:46,016 --> 00:58:49,250
that, you know, we talk about God's

1385
00:58:49,266 --> 00:58:52,266
 glory and all this stuff, but we don't talk that

1386
00:58:52,266 --> 00:58:53,283
 much about his humility.

1387
00:58:53,333 --> 00:58:53,933
Yeah.

1388
00:58:53,933 --> 00:58:56,800
That he loved us so much.

1389
00:58:56,883 --> 00:59:00,116
He stepped down out of heaven and became a poor, defenseless, helpless baby.

1390
00:59:00,183 --> 00:59:01,916
to down cross.

1391
00:59:01,983 --> 00:59:04,849
That ain't about glory there.

1392
00:59:04,916 --> 00:59:06,416
That's about humility.

1393
00:59:06,483 --> 00:59:08,283
And that's about love.

1394
00:59:08,333 --> 00:59:08,983
It is.

1395
00:59:09,066 --> 00:59:10,866
And man, man.

1396
00:59:10,916 --> 00:59:13,916
That the people won't repent in this stuff and they know they

1397
00:59:13,916 --> 00:59:15,716
 know that's the wrath of the lamb.

1398
00:59:15,783 --> 00:59:17,283
They know that it's God doing this stuff.

1399
00:59:17,333 --> 00:59:20,933
We don't have to be there.

1400
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,500
No, we don't have to be there.

1401
00:59:22,566 --> 00:59:23,633
That's right.

1402
00:59:23,699 --> 00:59:25,966
And and realizing that.

1403
00:59:25,983 --> 00:59:30,483
The creator of the world.

1404
00:59:30,533 --> 00:59:33,533
The one that by him and for

1405
00:59:33,533 --> 00:59:34,849
 him, all things were made.

1406
00:59:34,916 --> 00:59:38,449
which were made, was willing to become part

1407
00:59:39,300 --> 00:59:40,366
 of the creation for a time.

1408
00:59:40,433 --> 00:59:42,199
That is...

1409
00:59:43,966 --> 00:59:44,816
That's incredible.

1410
00:59:44,883 --> 00:59:45,900
It's mind blowing.

1411
00:59:45,966 --> 00:59:46,916
that is incredible.

1412
00:59:46,983 --> 00:59:50,449
I mean, If you could create

1413
00:59:50,466 --> 00:59:54,366
 a world, create a universe, so so

1414
00:59:54,366 --> 00:59:57,416
 insignificant at the end of the day and small

1415
00:59:57,416 --> 00:59:59,866
 and tiny that you could hold it in the palm of your hand.

1416
00:59:59,933 --> 01:00:02,933
And the only connection you

1417
01:00:02,933 --> 01:00:06,233
 could truly form with them to save them from themselves,

1418
01:00:06,233 --> 01:00:09,766
 not even from anything you did, just saving them from themselves is

1419
01:00:09,783 --> 01:00:10,983
 to go down and become one of them.

1420
01:00:11,033 --> 01:00:13,666
That's, I mean, that is what we're talking about with Christ.

1421
01:00:13,733 --> 01:00:16,666
I heard a story and I don't I'm going to tell it wrong.

1422
01:00:16,733 --> 01:00:17,150
I know.

1423
01:00:17,216 --> 01:00:20,983
It's just off the top of my head here, but this old farmer.

1424
01:00:21,066 --> 01:00:24,233
live in like Minnesota somewhere and this snowstorm came

1425
01:00:24,233 --> 01:00:26,800
 in and it's a cold night.

1426
01:00:26,883 --> 01:00:29,883
He starts looking at his window at all the

1427
01:00:29,883 --> 01:00:32,933
 snow falling down and he sees 5 or 6

1428
01:00:32,933 --> 01:00:34,183
 little birds out on his doorstep.

1429
01:00:34,199 --> 01:00:37,550
And he thinks, man, I need to get them to the barn.

1430
01:00:37,616 --> 01:00:40,783
If I could get them to the barn, I could save their lives, you

1431
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,216
 know, and it sort of clears out a path to the barn and goes

1432
01:00:44,216 --> 01:00:48,050
 back in the house and looks out the window and the bird's still standing in the same spot.

1433
01:00:48,116 --> 01:00:49,183
Just won't go anywhere.

1434
01:00:49,266 --> 01:00:52,083
And so he leaves some breadcrumbs all the way to the barn.

1435
01:00:52,133 --> 01:00:53,449
The birds won't go.

1436
01:00:53,516 --> 01:00:55,616
And he starts thinking to himself.

1437
01:00:55,683 --> 01:00:58,433
man, if I could just become one of them they wouldn't be scared of me.

1438
01:00:58,500 --> 01:00:58,949
Wow.

1439
01:01:01,016 --> 01:01:01,199
Yeah.

1440
01:01:02,216 --> 01:01:04,133
That's exactly what God did.

1441
01:01:04,266 --> 01:01:04,983
Yeah.

1442
01:01:04,983 --> 01:01:05,449
Yeah.

1443
01:01:05,516 --> 01:01:08,683
He became one of us, so wouldn't fear him like that.

1444
01:01:08,766 --> 01:01:09,366
Yeah.

1445
01:01:09,366 --> 01:01:10,500
The wrath.

1446
01:01:10,566 --> 01:01:12,900
We don't have to fear this rat that's coming.

1447
01:01:12,900 --> 01:01:15,716
And we don't Revelation doesn't have to scare the pants off of you.

1448
01:01:15,783 --> 01:01:16,983
Yeah.

1449
01:01:17,033 --> 01:01:20,150
He became seeing who knew no sin, that he might

1450
01:01:20,166 --> 01:01:21,300
 become my righteousness.

1451
01:01:21,366 --> 01:01:22,316
Yeah, yeah.

1452
01:01:22,433 --> 01:01:23,633
It became a curse.

1453
01:01:23,766 --> 01:01:24,233
Yeah.

1454
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:29,099
How he loves us.

1455
01:01:29,166 --> 01:01:29,466
Amen.

1456
01:01:30,783 --> 01:01:33,949
How he loves us and how we should love him

1457
01:01:33,966 --> 01:01:35,333
 and why he loves us.

1458
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:36,533
I don't know.

1459
01:01:36,599 --> 01:01:39,833
Oh, no, He is love.

1460
01:01:39,900 --> 01:01:40,616
That's the only answer.

1461
01:01:41,333 --> 01:01:42,766
That's all he knows how to do.

1462
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:43,616
But he is wrath, too.

1463
01:01:43,683 --> 01:01:44,099
That's right.

1464
01:01:44,166 --> 01:01:44,333
Yeah.

1465
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,250
Justice and righteousness.

1466
01:01:46,316 --> 01:01:47,033
Amen.

1467
01:01:47,099 --> 01:01:49,199
Oh, amen.

1468
01:01:50,099 --> 01:01:51,000
All right.

1469
01:01:51,066 --> 01:01:54,183
Next week, Revelation chapter 16, verse one,

1470
01:01:54,183 --> 01:01:55,500
 brother Brian.

1471
01:01:55,566 --> 01:01:56,933
But you dismiss us tonight.

1472
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:57,416
Sure.

1473
01:01:57,483 --> 01:02:00,233
Father, we love you.

1474
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:04,916
And, uh, I don't

1475
01:02:04,916 --> 01:02:06,949
 know that we can begin to understand your love for us.

1476
01:02:07,016 --> 01:02:11,333
how you left heaven,

1477
01:02:11,333 --> 01:02:14,633
 how you became seeing how you took on

1478
01:02:14,633 --> 01:02:18,699
 wrath, Jesus of your father, to pay

1479
01:02:18,716 --> 01:02:21,533
 the price and the penalty for our sins.

1480
01:02:21,599 --> 01:02:22,066
How could you?

1481
01:02:22,199 --> 01:02:26,449
How could you love us that much?

1482
01:02:26,516 --> 01:02:28,916
Knowing what I would be.

1483
01:02:28,983 --> 01:02:32,583
I can't even speak for everybody else, but

1484
01:02:32,583 --> 01:02:36,533
 knowing how vile I could be, knowing how sinful I could be.

1485
01:02:36,666 --> 01:02:39,716
Knowing that

1486
01:02:39,716 --> 01:02:44,216
 there's been times where I've rejected you when there's been times where I've tried to walk away from you.

1487
01:02:44,283 --> 01:02:47,400
I don't know how you

1488
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,433
 can love me because I know that you do.

1489
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:52,616
Thank God, I just,

1490
01:02:52,616 --> 01:02:55,916
 I breathe every day wanting to understand your

1491
01:02:55,916 --> 01:02:59,150
 love a little bit more, and I believe that as

1492
01:02:59,166 --> 01:03:02,583
 you, as you work in us,

1493
01:03:02,583 --> 01:03:06,483
 through our salvation, and work

1494
01:03:06,483 --> 01:03:09,599
 in us through our sanctification, that God, we

1495
01:03:09,599 --> 01:03:13,133
 begin to just get a glimpse of who you are a

1496
01:03:13,133 --> 01:03:16,250
 little bit more every day, and how much you do love

1497
01:03:16,266 --> 01:03:17,816
 us, and what that loves about.

1498
01:03:17,883 --> 01:03:21,000
God, I pray that others will hear it, believe

1499
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,066
 it, receive it.

1500
01:03:22,133 --> 01:03:25,183
God, and they'll come to you, and that they

1501
01:03:25,199 --> 01:03:26,633
 won't have to face the wrath of God.

1502
01:03:26,699 --> 01:03:29,866
I pray, Lord God, that you'd walk with us through

1503
01:03:29,883 --> 01:03:31,983
 the days to come.

1504
01:03:32,033 --> 01:03:35,866
Ah, Lord, this world is falling apart, but God, you're holding us together.

1505
01:03:35,933 --> 01:03:37,733
God, we thank you for that.

1506
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,099
Lord, bless these men that are here tonight.

1507
01:03:41,166 --> 01:03:45,533
Bless in God, this

1508
01:03:45,533 --> 01:03:49,000
 Bible study that we're doing that people

1509
01:03:49,016 --> 01:03:52,183
 will hear your word and receive it, God.

1510
01:03:52,199 --> 01:03:55,366
Thank you, Lord, for who you are and for loving

1511
01:03:55,383 --> 01:03:56,583
 us in Jesus' name.

1512
01:03:56,633 --> 01:03:57,050
Amen.
