52 00:02:50,633 --> 00:02:53,866 Y'all y'all have done the whole Ben young 53 00:02:53,866 --> 00:02:57,033 preachers early in your careers and 54 00:02:57,050 --> 00:03:00,583 got to do some of those early sermons that you do. 55 00:03:00,650 --> 00:03:04,250 Somebody had a Facebook post the other day that kind of had 56 00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:07,250 me scratching my head a little bit because one of 57 00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:11,016 the sermons that I've always heard, every young, every young past preacher, 58 00:03:11,033 --> 00:03:14,500 within the 1st ah, 20 or 30 sermons they give is 59 00:03:14,516 --> 00:03:16,550 always does one on Jesus walking on the water, right? 60 00:03:16,616 --> 00:03:20,816 Every single time, and it's always almost the same. 61 00:03:20,866 --> 00:03:24,033 And y'all correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I've heard it, 62 00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:27,216 every Protestant denomination that I've ever attended a church at. 63 00:03:27,283 --> 00:03:30,283 There's somebody that gives one of these sermons and they talk about the fact that, 64 00:03:30,283 --> 00:03:33,283 you know, he feeds the 5000 and then he's going to send them on their 65 00:03:33,283 --> 00:03:36,449 way after he gets done and, and, you know, he tells the disciples, hey, 66 00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:37,833 y'all go on, I'm going to join you. 67 00:03:37,916 --> 00:03:39,650 They're heading across to see a Galilee. 68 00:03:39,716 --> 00:03:42,416 Storm blows up and Jesus comes walking across the water. 69 00:03:42,466 --> 00:03:45,216 They think it's a ghost and they're, you know, kind of freaking out about it. 70 00:03:45,283 --> 00:03:48,283 And of course, Peter finds out that he can, in fact, swallow his whole foot 71 00:03:48,283 --> 00:03:51,283 and says, well, if you just, if you're, if you're him, you just tell me to come on out 72 00:03:51,283 --> 00:03:54,400 there and I'll come on off the boat and walk to you and Jesus goes, well, do it. 73 00:03:54,466 --> 00:03:56,866 You know, Peter kind of goes, okay, fine. 74 00:03:56,983 --> 00:03:58,833 He did it. 75 00:03:58,849 --> 00:03:59,566 And he does it. 76 00:03:59,633 --> 00:04:03,400 He jumps out and goes after him and then he takes his eyes off of him, starts to drown. 77 00:04:03,466 --> 00:04:06,400 Help me, Lord, and Jesus pulls him up, says, well, you know, what's going on? 78 00:04:06,466 --> 00:04:07,066 I told you to do it. 79 00:04:07,133 --> 00:04:07,966 What made you think he couldn't? 80 00:04:08,033 --> 00:04:10,733 You know, and it's always the same 3 takeaways. 81 00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:13,783 Just because you're doing what God commanded you to do doesn't mean there won't 82 00:04:13,783 --> 00:04:16,783 be storms, you have to get out of the boat, put action 83 00:04:16,783 --> 00:04:20,850 to your faith, and you got to keep your eyes on Jesus because it's all about him. 84 00:04:20,933 --> 00:04:22,666 Now, did I get that? 85 00:04:22,733 --> 00:04:24,233 That's that's right. 86 00:04:24,283 --> 00:04:27,283 Like, this is a normal, that's a, I mean, 87 00:04:27,283 --> 00:04:28,833 you know, obviously the sermons are longer. 88 00:04:28,916 --> 00:04:30,583 That's the gist of it. 89 00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:33,766 Somebody literally had this whole Facebook post and it 90 00:04:33,766 --> 00:04:35,083 was this big long die tribe. 91 00:04:35,149 --> 00:04:37,066 I don't know, it took me 10 minutes to read it. 92 00:04:37,133 --> 00:04:40,066 It was huge talking about how, oh, man, we get that story all wrong. 93 00:04:40,133 --> 00:04:43,066 We're missing the point, Christians, we miss that so much. 94 00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:46,066 And then they proceed to make those exact same 3 points. 95 00:04:46,133 --> 00:04:47,500 Oh. 96 00:04:47,516 --> 00:04:50,816 Like, like everybody hadn't 97 00:04:50,816 --> 00:04:52,250 had to figure that out. 98 00:04:52,483 --> 00:04:55,533 And I sat there and looked at that and I thought, I got to ask those guys 99 00:04:55,550 --> 00:04:58,600 Monday because I'm pretty sure I've heard this sermon 100 00:04:58,616 --> 00:05:01,850 given about 300 times and it's always those same 3 points. 101 00:05:01,916 --> 00:05:02,983 Yeah. 102 00:05:02,983 --> 00:05:06,883 And people were reposting this and amen, that's exactly right. 103 00:05:06,949 --> 00:05:10,716 We, we, we missing the and I'm like, what churches are y'all in? 104 00:05:10,783 --> 00:05:13,416 Probably hadn't attended church much. 105 00:05:13,433 --> 00:05:15,050 That's probably what the deal is, you know. 106 00:05:15,116 --> 00:05:18,233 That was, it was, it was just, that was a surreal thing. 107 00:05:18,233 --> 00:05:21,399 It was Saturday or Sunday morning when I saw that, and I was like, 108 00:05:21,416 --> 00:05:25,316 that is so weird because seriously, I've heard this a lot, and I've never... 109 00:05:25,433 --> 00:05:27,583 Never heard it taught any other way. 110 00:05:27,649 --> 00:05:30,649 There's a pressure on preachers, I 111 00:05:30,649 --> 00:05:32,866 think, too, because you're doing this weekend week out. 112 00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:33,399 Oh, yeah. 113 00:05:33,416 --> 00:05:34,966 You gotta come up with something new, man. 114 00:05:35,033 --> 00:05:37,000 Some new take on this, you know? 115 00:05:37,066 --> 00:05:38,433 There's a pressure there. 116 00:05:38,516 --> 00:05:39,466 There is. 117 00:05:39,533 --> 00:05:39,883 There he is. 118 00:05:40,016 --> 00:05:40,250 Yeah. 119 00:05:40,316 --> 00:05:41,750 But it's the old gospel. 120 00:05:41,816 --> 00:05:42,766 It is. 121 00:05:42,833 --> 00:05:43,250 It is. 122 00:05:43,316 --> 00:05:46,483 And it's, uh, it's the heart of the gospel, and it's, uh, 123 00:05:46,483 --> 00:05:49,649 and, and we have to also understand that 124 00:05:49,666 --> 00:05:52,966 we're not doing the power, the power lives 125 00:05:52,966 --> 00:05:56,083 in us, but the power is not us, and, 126 00:05:56,083 --> 00:05:59,083 uh, and it's not, you know, it doesn't have to 127 00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:02,133 be our delivery or or we don't have to come up with some kind 128 00:06:02,149 --> 00:06:04,000 of new thing to make it stick. 129 00:06:04,066 --> 00:06:07,066 Uh, I mean, the gospel is just, 130 00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:10,300 it's good by itself and it's true by itself and 131 00:06:10,316 --> 00:06:13,916 it's, it's, uh, it's profitable for doctrine 132 00:06:13,916 --> 00:06:17,816 and reproof and correction and all the things, you know, that, so, yeah. 133 00:06:17,866 --> 00:06:21,100 Well, I mean, you know, and it's one of those things I always do tell, 134 00:06:21,116 --> 00:06:24,166 uh, anytime I'm around young pastors and they're they're 135 00:06:24,166 --> 00:06:27,283 telling, you know, I hear them saying like, man, I'm just really struggling to come up with a sermon this 136 00:06:27,283 --> 00:06:28,649 week and I'm not sure what to do. 137 00:06:28,733 --> 00:06:31,550 Like, you got a bunch of pre-prepared sermons. 138 00:06:31,616 --> 00:06:32,633 Just go to the letters to the church. 139 00:06:32,683 --> 00:06:36,216 It's a pre-prepared sermon pre-written 140 00:06:36,233 --> 00:06:37,433 and just right there. 141 00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:40,250 But you know, here's my here's my thing. 142 00:06:40,316 --> 00:06:43,616 I've, I don't know that I've ever, 143 00:06:43,616 --> 00:06:47,449 I, there's 144 00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:50,750 been some times where it's been right up to Saturday night. 145 00:06:50,816 --> 00:06:54,233 I will say that, and I'm like, I'm 146 00:06:54,233 --> 00:06:56,866 just not, I'm not sure, and I'm not, 147 00:06:56,933 --> 00:07:00,166 I just hadn't nailed anything down and the Lord just hadn't 148 00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:03,583 been just completely clear on, okay, this is it. 149 00:07:03,649 --> 00:07:06,466 This is what you're supposed to preach tomorrow, you know. 150 00:07:06,533 --> 00:07:10,550 And, and, but, but he has never one time failed me. 151 00:07:10,616 --> 00:07:14,149 I never stepped into that pulpit and 152 00:07:14,149 --> 00:07:17,199 not had something that I had studied 153 00:07:17,216 --> 00:07:18,416 and he'd put on my heart. 154 00:07:18,466 --> 00:07:20,983 Now he's changed it before. 155 00:07:20,983 --> 00:07:24,750 And, you know, but, but, 156 00:07:24,766 --> 00:07:28,183 if you, if you study to show yourself approved, 157 00:07:28,183 --> 00:07:31,600 whatever it is you're studying, he's still going to, he's going to give you a message from it. 158 00:07:31,666 --> 00:07:35,433 Well, I started to say, as long as you're studied up, you've 159 00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:38,566 always, you've got, like you say, you've got the whole Bible and God will 160 00:07:38,566 --> 00:07:40,533 give it to you and reveal it to you. 161 00:07:40,616 --> 00:07:43,616 And sometimes it may be, you know, kind of kind of close to 162 00:07:43,616 --> 00:07:45,233 the last minute there, but you've got to be studied up. 163 00:07:45,283 --> 00:07:46,533 Keeps you honest, man. 164 00:07:46,616 --> 00:07:47,866 Oh, yeah, it does. 165 00:07:47,933 --> 00:07:50,383 You better stay in scripture if you're preaching every week. 166 00:07:50,449 --> 00:07:53,500 Man, Ted, like some of these guys around 167 00:07:53,516 --> 00:07:56,516 here just talk about, you know, repeat the same sentence 150. 168 00:07:56,633 --> 00:07:57,699 Over and over and over. 169 00:07:57,766 --> 00:07:58,600 salvation every week. 170 00:07:58,666 --> 00:08:01,533 You know, that's it's a salvation message. 171 00:08:01,666 --> 00:08:02,383 You better get saved. 172 00:08:02,449 --> 00:08:03,166 going to go to hell. 173 00:08:03,233 --> 00:08:04,300 And hey, that's true. 174 00:08:04,366 --> 00:08:05,683 Yeah, true. 175 00:08:05,683 --> 00:08:08,733 There's truth in that, you know, but I mean, uh, to 176 00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:12,216 uh, to just keep repeating that over and over and over again. 177 00:08:12,283 --> 00:08:13,416 Can know your audience. 178 00:08:13,483 --> 00:08:14,733 Yeah, exactly. 179 00:08:14,816 --> 00:08:15,466 Yeah. 180 00:08:15,533 --> 00:08:19,066 Well, you, you know, you have the, you have the messages that you give for, 181 00:08:19,066 --> 00:08:22,416 like you say, it's, the intent, tent of the message is 182 00:08:22,433 --> 00:08:25,850 to draw people in and to, we've got to get saved. 183 00:08:25,916 --> 00:08:26,516 We got to save it. 184 00:08:26,566 --> 00:08:28,483 the, you know, the the tent revival. 185 00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:31,666 You know, sometimes that's that's what's necessary, but when 186 00:08:31,666 --> 00:08:34,666 you're preaching in front of your home church and you know that 187 00:08:34,666 --> 00:08:37,600 80% of the people out there at least profess to be saved. 188 00:08:37,666 --> 00:08:40,716 Hopefully they all are, and we're praying that they all are, and we 189 00:08:40,733 --> 00:08:42,100 take them at their word when they say it. 190 00:08:42,166 --> 00:08:45,166 But sometimes Christians, when you're 191 00:08:45,166 --> 00:08:48,100 preaching to other Christians, the answer is, hey, here's what we're supposed to be doing. 192 00:08:48,166 --> 00:08:50,616 Let's talk about after the saved. 193 00:08:50,683 --> 00:08:53,200 I got to read this to y'all. 194 00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:54,766 A sister in Christ wrote this. 195 00:08:54,833 --> 00:08:56,200 Y'all might have seen this. 196 00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:59,433 I won't say her name, but she wrote this on Facebook the other day and 197 00:08:59,450 --> 00:09:00,883 she said Sunday thoughts. 198 00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:05,016 If someone is drowning, he doesn't need to know the Greek word for life checket. 199 00:09:05,083 --> 00:09:06,033 He just needs to throw you one 200 00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:09,283 Head knowledge is great, but heart knowledge is 201 00:09:09,283 --> 00:09:11,916 imperative to repentance, salvation, and sanctification. 202 00:09:11,983 --> 00:09:14,133 Relationship always trumps religion. 203 00:09:14,216 --> 00:09:16,916 Cut the pretension and start serving Jesus. 204 00:09:16,966 --> 00:09:19,183 I thought that was really good. 205 00:09:19,183 --> 00:09:19,833 I like it. 206 00:09:19,916 --> 00:09:22,733 I'm bad about getting off into the weeds with stuff. 207 00:09:22,783 --> 00:09:24,883 and not applying it. 208 00:09:24,950 --> 00:09:25,850 Right, right. 209 00:09:25,966 --> 00:09:28,966 But now, sometimes, sometimes, I will say 210 00:09:28,966 --> 00:09:31,183 this, and I agree with that 100%. 211 00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:34,483 There are times where, um, 212 00:09:34,483 --> 00:09:37,483 were those words, you just 213 00:09:37,483 --> 00:09:40,483 need, you need, there has to be a difference between you trying 214 00:09:40,483 --> 00:09:41,616 to show how smart you are. 215 00:09:41,683 --> 00:09:44,200 Yeah. and how much you know, like you say it. 216 00:09:44,266 --> 00:09:45,633 like she said, yeah. 217 00:09:45,716 --> 00:09:48,233 Or is this something that really brings the scripture to life? 218 00:09:48,283 --> 00:09:50,549 I think that's what you really need to pray about. 219 00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:52,783 And that's exactly what she was getting at. 220 00:09:52,850 --> 00:09:53,616 I have no idea. 221 00:09:53,683 --> 00:09:54,283 Yeah, I have no 222 00:09:54,583 --> 00:09:56,083 no doubt in my mind. 223 00:09:56,149 --> 00:09:57,583 So yeah, I've seen that yesterday. 224 00:09:57,649 --> 00:09:58,299 I thought it was great. 225 00:09:58,366 --> 00:09:59,733 That's a fantastic. 226 00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:00,766 Fantastic point. 227 00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:01,899 Yeah, absolutely. 228 00:10:01,966 --> 00:10:05,083 But, uh, oh, and the, the, and speaking of putting things 229 00:10:05,083 --> 00:10:08,133 in practice, it blew my mind, also another post 230 00:10:08,149 --> 00:10:11,866 I had seen was apparently there was somebody down messing 231 00:10:11,866 --> 00:10:14,916 around at the uh, splash pad where the kids are, kids are playing 232 00:10:14,933 --> 00:10:17,933 stuff earlier in the week and they were kind of keeping an eye out for 233 00:10:17,933 --> 00:10:19,433 the guy and it was, it was odd. 234 00:10:19,483 --> 00:10:22,533 Like, when they described what the guy was doing with his cell phone, they didn't 235 00:10:22,549 --> 00:10:25,783 know if he was taking pictures or videoing or maybe on FaceTime with 236 00:10:25,783 --> 00:10:29,799 something, they couldn't tell what was going on and some people were really freaking out about it. 237 00:10:29,866 --> 00:10:33,033 And the, the 2 statements that blew 238 00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:36,166 in mind was the one person said, well, where were the adults and why didn't they jump him and beat him up until 239 00:10:36,166 --> 00:10:38,083 the police got there and it's like, calm down. 240 00:10:38,149 --> 00:10:40,783 You don't know, you just said you don't know what he was doing. 241 00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:43,000 So don't get yourself sent to jail. 242 00:10:43,066 --> 00:10:43,783 Your kids need you. 243 00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:45,883 What was the 1st thing. 244 00:10:45,950 --> 00:10:49,000 But the one that floored me was a parent that said, 245 00:10:49,016 --> 00:10:52,016 well, if my 10 year old daughter is out 246 00:10:52,016 --> 00:10:55,066 there in her bikini, I, she don't need to be have people 247 00:10:55,066 --> 00:10:58,783 taking pictures over in her bikini outside and I'm like, you, 248 00:10:58,783 --> 00:11:01,833 you let your 10 year old daughter walk out of your house in something 249 00:11:01,850 --> 00:11:03,516 you're nervous about people seeing her in. 250 00:11:03,583 --> 00:11:06,583 Like, that's, that's what 251 00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:09,883 we call conviction, and that's what we Christians call, uh, 252 00:11:09,883 --> 00:11:10,899 that's inappropriate. 253 00:11:10,966 --> 00:11:14,133 It's not, it blew my mind that I, 254 00:11:14,149 --> 00:11:17,200 I, literally saw like 6 or 8 people make a statement like that and 255 00:11:17,216 --> 00:11:20,866 I'm like, are, are we, do we understand parenting the same way? 256 00:11:20,933 --> 00:11:23,450 I tell my kids what they get to wear when they walk out of the house. 257 00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:24,533 They're in the house. 258 00:11:24,583 --> 00:11:26,383 Hey, you can do what, you know, I'm not going to get onto them. 259 00:11:26,450 --> 00:11:27,816 You know, you're in the house, nobody can see you. 260 00:11:27,883 --> 00:11:28,783 the point of being in the house. 261 00:11:28,850 --> 00:11:29,683 It's our private space. 262 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:33,350 If you want to walk around and just absolutely dumb stuff, I don't care. 263 00:11:33,416 --> 00:11:36,583 When we walk outside, dress appropriately. 264 00:11:36,649 --> 00:11:38,799 You know, I shouldn't wear my Speedo. 265 00:11:38,866 --> 00:11:40,183 Probably not in public. 266 00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:40,783 Yeah. 267 00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:42,750 Or if you do, throwing some hands over it. 268 00:11:42,833 --> 00:11:45,350 Yeah. 269 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:46,850 Yep. 270 00:11:46,916 --> 00:11:47,866 But that did. 271 00:11:47,933 --> 00:11:49,133 That really floored me. 272 00:11:49,183 --> 00:11:52,533 And it goes back to that, that putting our picture I have in my mind. 273 00:11:52,616 --> 00:11:55,316 avoiding that. 274 00:11:55,366 --> 00:11:55,666 All right. 275 00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:57,049 Thank y'all for tuning in today. 276 00:11:57,116 --> 00:11:58,966 We'll see y'all next week. 277 00:11:59,033 --> 00:12:02,033 We're selling sharp sticks to poke your minds out with. 278 00:12:02,083 --> 00:12:05,850 Oh, man, I love that. 279 00:12:05,983 --> 00:12:07,350 But it did. 280 00:12:07,483 --> 00:12:10,649 It just made me think of that when you said that, putting it in practice and 281 00:12:10,666 --> 00:12:13,666 putting your faith in practice because if you're a Christian, these are the 282 00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:16,899 kind of things you think of, and it's not about putting blame on anybody or 283 00:12:16,916 --> 00:12:20,149 saying that it's this person's responsibility to 284 00:12:20,149 --> 00:12:22,299 control what another person thinks or anything like that. 285 00:12:22,366 --> 00:12:24,283 It's just, you know what's appropriate. 286 00:12:24,350 --> 00:12:25,183 We we know it. 287 00:12:25,250 --> 00:12:26,266 God gives it to us. 288 00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:27,466 He reveals it to us. 289 00:12:27,766 --> 00:12:31,000 Um, and, and yeah, it does change a little bit over time. 290 00:12:31,066 --> 00:12:32,266 I mean, you know, used to be. 291 00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:35,566 It was considered totally inappropriate for women to wear, you know, pants. 292 00:12:35,633 --> 00:12:37,733 Now it's like, well, no, it's fine. 293 00:12:37,783 --> 00:12:40,899 We're not going to freak out about it, but, you know, 294 00:12:40,916 --> 00:12:43,850 everybody needs to be covered up to some extent at least. 295 00:12:43,916 --> 00:12:47,333 But anyway, so that was, 296 00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,850 except for Dennis, he likes, he likes just going around being comfortable. 297 00:12:49,966 --> 00:12:53,916 Do not drive by his house when you see him on the lawnmower. 298 00:12:53,983 --> 00:12:55,950 Yeah, he does have a pool out there. 299 00:12:56,033 --> 00:12:57,466 Don't come around back. 300 00:12:57,533 --> 00:13:00,883 Standing there, bird watching. 301 00:13:00,950 --> 00:13:05,616 I'm not watching. 302 00:13:05,633 --> 00:13:06,283 I'm posing. 303 00:13:06,350 --> 00:13:07,183 That's right. 304 00:13:07,316 --> 00:13:07,783 That's right. 305 00:13:07,916 --> 00:13:09,766 Diane, get this post right now. 306 00:13:09,833 --> 00:13:10,549 Okay. 307 00:13:10,549 --> 00:13:12,816 Let's

00:16:08,616 And I saw an angel come down from heaven and having the key of the bottom 387 00:16:08,633 --> 00:16:11,633 was pit and a great chain in his hand, and he laid 388 00:16:11,633 --> 00:16:14,750 hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and 389 00:16:14,750 --> 00:16:17,149 Satan, and bound him a 1000 years. 390 00:16:17,216 --> 00:16:20,216 cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up 391 00:16:20,216 --> 00:16:23,516 and set a seal upon him that he should deceive 392 00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:26,566 the nations no more till the 1000 years should be fulfilled, 393 00:16:26,566 --> 00:16:29,983 and after that, he must be loosed a little season. 394 00:16:30,049 --> 00:16:33,516 Well, so there's some things that can be some 395 00:16:33,533 --> 00:16:36,533 like eyebrow raising in these 1st 3 verses, right? 396 00:16:36,583 --> 00:16:39,633 I think we have to look at a few things here. 397 00:16:39,716 --> 00:16:42,950 I wrote down 3 questions. 398 00:16:43,016 --> 00:16:45,533 One, what is the bottomless pit? 399 00:16:45,583 --> 00:16:49,950 Two, why is Satan cast there and three, why in the world? 400 00:16:50,033 --> 00:16:53,083 Why in the world has he let loose for a time? 401 00:16:53,149 --> 00:16:55,366 I mean, come on. 402 00:16:55,433 --> 00:16:57,166 Uh, we got him. 403 00:16:57,233 --> 00:16:57,700 He's done. 404 00:16:57,766 --> 00:17:01,066 You know, now we're going to let him loose, but to understand why, 405 00:17:01,066 --> 00:17:04,233 we'll answer this first, want 406 00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:07,250 to understand why he's let loose after he's captured. 407 00:17:07,316 --> 00:17:09,716 We have to know a little bit about this millennium. 408 00:17:09,833 --> 00:17:12,166 What is it? 409 00:17:12,233 --> 00:17:15,233 Well, it's it's, as Dennis has already said, it's a literal 410 00:17:15,233 --> 00:17:16,966 1000 years, right? 411 00:17:17,033 --> 00:17:20,150 It's a 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ on 412 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:23,383 this earth and perfect peace and happiness. 413 00:17:23,450 --> 00:17:25,116 Uh, to who's there? 414 00:17:25,183 --> 00:17:27,516 Who's there during this during this reign. 415 00:17:27,583 --> 00:17:31,049 Well, we'll find it will be the saved of all ages, 416 00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:32,133 we'll be with him, right? 417 00:17:32,216 --> 00:17:35,683 It'll be the 144,000, those who didn't die, did 418 00:17:35,683 --> 00:17:38,683 not die or turned to Satan during those 7 years, and they will 419 00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:42,033 all go into the millennium in earthly bodies, 420 00:17:42,049 --> 00:17:43,849 those 144,000, right? 421 00:17:43,916 --> 00:17:46,783 Because they're they're they're sealed to the very end of it. 422 00:17:46,849 --> 00:17:49,299 And then you're going to have some tribulation saints. 423 00:17:49,366 --> 00:17:51,216 They may be, I don't know how many they'll be. 424 00:17:51,283 --> 00:17:55,000 I don't know how they're going to survive, you know, but you know, whoever's there. 425 00:17:55,066 --> 00:17:57,216 What will this be like? 426 00:17:57,283 --> 00:17:58,900 It'll be perfect. 427 00:17:59,033 --> 00:18:02,083 Um, and with Satan gone, there'll 428 00:18:02,083 --> 00:18:05,083 be here's here's the thing, and this is what I'm going to get to in just a second, but 429 00:18:05,083 --> 00:18:07,533 there'll be no temptation during this time. 430 00:18:07,616 --> 00:18:10,849 Like, uh, you know, uh, no 431 00:18:10,849 --> 00:18:12,400 temptation of seeing happening. 432 00:18:12,466 --> 00:18:15,700 Now, the 144,000 and the people, the tribulation saints, 433 00:18:15,716 --> 00:18:19,316 they have they've made their choice and they've accepted Christ. 434 00:18:19,433 --> 00:18:23,383 Uh, but there's going to be a population explosion during this time. 435 00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:24,466 Oh yeah, absolutely. 436 00:18:24,533 --> 00:18:26,383 You think about a 1000 years. 437 00:18:26,383 --> 00:18:27,150 That's a long time. 438 00:18:27,233 --> 00:18:30,349 1000 years and you've still got, you know, you still got, 439 00:18:30,349 --> 00:18:33,099 you got men and women who are tribulation saints during this time. 440 00:18:33,166 --> 00:18:36,400 And because they're without sin, 441 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,516 uh, the, the, there's no sin during this time, there'll 442 00:18:39,533 --> 00:18:40,849 be no death, right? 443 00:18:40,916 --> 00:18:43,066 So a 1000 years everybody's going to live. 444 00:18:43,133 --> 00:18:47,150 Yeah, yeah, it says this in Isaiah 65. 445 00:18:47,266 --> 00:18:50,383 It says no longer will there be an infant who lives but a 446 00:18:50,383 --> 00:18:54,150 few days, or an old man that does not live out his days, for the youth will die at the age of 100. 447 00:18:54,349 --> 00:18:55,299 Yeah, yeah. 448 00:18:55,366 --> 00:18:58,366 And the one who does not reach the age of 100 would be thought accursed. 449 00:18:58,433 --> 00:18:59,033 Yeah. 450 00:18:59,033 --> 00:18:59,450 Yeah. 451 00:18:59,516 --> 00:19:01,483 People going to live a long time like they did in the days of Noah. 452 00:19:01,549 --> 00:19:02,616 Yes, absolutely. 453 00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:03,400 Absolutely. 454 00:19:03,466 --> 00:19:07,533 And so this brings us to the question of why Satan is loose, right? 455 00:19:07,616 --> 00:19:10,733 So 1st of all, uh, with no 456 00:19:10,733 --> 00:19:14,150 sin, uh, it's easy to follow Jesus, right? 457 00:19:14,216 --> 00:19:16,250 I mean, if you think about how that would be. 458 00:19:16,316 --> 00:19:19,316 If we didn't have any sin here, if nothing tempted us, 459 00:19:19,316 --> 00:19:22,549 if nothing, if we weren't in a fleshly 460 00:19:22,549 --> 00:19:25,549 mindset in this world, then it would be so 461 00:19:25,549 --> 00:19:27,816 easy that all we'd have to choose is Jesus. 462 00:19:27,883 --> 00:19:31,416 But if you want to live without Christ for eternity, 463 00:19:31,433 --> 00:19:34,549 then you must be saved, we know that, right? 464 00:19:34,616 --> 00:19:36,466 That hasn't changed. 465 00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:39,099 And even in the millennia, it won't change. 466 00:19:39,166 --> 00:19:42,216 If you want to be saved, you have to be saved 467 00:19:42,233 --> 00:19:45,583 through Jesus and you must choose to follow him and 468 00:19:45,583 --> 00:19:47,133 not follow Satan. 469 00:19:47,216 --> 00:19:48,283 So here's the thing. 470 00:19:48,349 --> 00:19:50,683 They're going to have to be tempted. 471 00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:52,783 They're going to have to be tempted. 472 00:19:52,849 --> 00:19:55,900 They going to have to make a choice, which again blows this 473 00:19:55,916 --> 00:19:59,033 whole tulip out of the water to me, you 474 00:19:59,033 --> 00:20:00,833 know, even in the very end. 475 00:20:00,883 --> 00:20:03,933 We see that Adam and Eve had to make a choice in the beginning, and then here 476 00:20:03,950 --> 00:20:07,966 at the end of this thing, in these 1000 years, they're going to have to make a choice too. 477 00:20:08,033 --> 00:20:11,150 So, so Satan is 478 00:20:11,150 --> 00:20:14,150 going to be loosed for a short time so 479 00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:17,450 that, so that these folks who are born during 480 00:20:17,450 --> 00:20:20,500 this millennial rain will have 481 00:20:20,516 --> 00:20:22,016 to choose Jesus, right? 482 00:20:22,066 --> 00:20:25,833 They'll be, they'll be, they'll be, they'll 483 00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:29,150 be tempted with sin, some will choose to follow Jesus, 484 00:20:29,150 --> 00:20:31,716 and some will not as we see here in a few minutes. 485 00:20:31,783 --> 00:20:34,116 But so that's one reason that he's loose. 486 00:20:34,250 --> 00:20:37,666 And I think the other reason is, is just simply to leave Satan 487 00:20:37,666 --> 00:20:39,216 without excuse. 488 00:20:39,283 --> 00:20:40,483 It's perfect justice, isn't it? 489 00:20:40,616 --> 00:20:41,516 Yeah, yeah. 490 00:20:41,566 --> 00:20:43,966 like, okay, try it one more time. 491 00:20:44,033 --> 00:20:46,183 I'm still going to win this thing, right? 492 00:20:46,316 --> 00:20:49,316 He doesn't want Satan to say if you'd only given me 493 00:20:49,316 --> 00:20:50,450 one more chance. 494 00:20:50,516 --> 00:20:51,716 Right? 495 00:20:51,766 --> 00:20:52,666 Yeah, yeah. 496 00:20:52,733 --> 00:20:56,383 So I, I think, I think, um, I 497 00:20:56,383 --> 00:20:59,433 think those are the 2 main reasons why that Satan 498 00:20:59,450 --> 00:21:02,566 is loosed at the end of this 1000 year, right? 499 00:21:02,633 --> 00:21:06,233 Yeah, and it's interesting to me is there's an angel greater than him. 500 00:21:06,283 --> 00:21:07,299 Yeah, yeah. 501 00:21:07,316 --> 00:21:08,383 Those him into this. 502 00:21:08,516 --> 00:21:08,866 Absolutely. 503 00:21:09,166 --> 00:21:09,466 Absolutely. 504 00:21:09,533 --> 00:21:10,366 We don't know. 505 00:21:10,433 --> 00:21:11,983 No, we know a couple of names. 506 00:21:12,049 --> 00:21:12,349 Yeah. 507 00:21:12,349 --> 00:21:13,416 That's all we got. 508 00:21:13,483 --> 00:21:15,033 There's 1000000s of them. 509 00:21:15,116 --> 00:21:16,016 That's absolutely right. 510 00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:16,783 And this guy's bad. 511 00:21:16,849 --> 00:21:18,516 He is bad put up on him. 512 00:21:18,583 --> 00:21:20,616 And he chose Jesus, right? 513 00:21:20,683 --> 00:21:21,283 right. 514 00:21:21,349 --> 00:21:22,366 Because he had to make a choice too. 515 00:21:22,433 --> 00:21:23,500 That's right. 516 00:21:23,566 --> 00:21:23,983 right. 517 00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:25,250 And this abyss, this abyss. 518 00:21:25,316 --> 00:21:28,549 I think is just me thinking out loud here is, 519 00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:31,716 I believe it's the same as the 5th trumpet, the 520 00:21:31,733 --> 00:21:34,299 bottomless pent that that's emptied out. 521 00:21:34,366 --> 00:21:36,400 Yeah, you know, at the trumpets. 522 00:21:36,533 --> 00:21:37,366 Yeah, yeah. 523 00:21:37,433 --> 00:21:39,700 And all this nasty stuff comes out of that thing. 524 00:21:39,766 --> 00:21:40,366 Oh, yeah. 525 00:21:40,433 --> 00:21:42,049 And they can be thrown right back in there. 526 00:21:42,116 --> 00:21:42,833 absolutely. 527 00:21:42,883 --> 00:21:46,599 And rocks, jagged rocks or something thrown over the top of them, whatever. 528 00:21:46,666 --> 00:21:48,216 They going to be sealed up in this thing. 529 00:21:48,283 --> 00:21:48,883 Yeah, yeah. 530 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:52,900 Well, you know, almost like maybe those that are, 531 00:21:52,916 --> 00:21:56,033 that we look, those angels under the, uh, the river 532 00:21:56,033 --> 00:21:59,033 Euphrates, you know, something, something like that that 533 00:21:59,033 --> 00:22:00,049 were sealed for a time. 534 00:22:00,116 --> 00:22:03,716 You know, and I love, uh, 535 00:22:03,716 --> 00:22:06,049 20 verse two. 536 00:22:06,116 --> 00:22:09,116 I love that because it's so explicitly 537 00:22:09,116 --> 00:22:10,849 because everything up until here. 538 00:22:10,916 --> 00:22:13,966 It's kind of been talking, they, 539 00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:17,200 John writes it and he talks about the dragon and he talks about these things and he says, 540 00:22:17,216 --> 00:22:19,066 and right here, he just flat out says it. 541 00:22:19,133 --> 00:22:21,883 This is the ancient serpent, serpent who is the devil and Satan. 542 00:22:21,950 --> 00:22:23,266 He's like, this is him. 543 00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:24,883 I don't want anybody to misunderstand. 544 00:22:24,950 --> 00:22:26,683 We're making it very, very clear. 545 00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:30,283 And I have yet, and I still hear people today that 546 00:22:30,283 --> 00:22:32,799 are not 100% sure who the dragon is. 547 00:22:32,866 --> 00:22:33,516 Yeah, yeah. 548 00:22:33,583 --> 00:22:35,916 And I'm like, it's right there. 549 00:22:35,983 --> 00:22:38,250 It explicitly tells us. 550 00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:39,400 Old serpent. 551 00:22:39,466 --> 00:22:41,016 He's the one that was in the garden. 552 00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:42,466 But that's how he wants it, right? 553 00:22:42,533 --> 00:22:45,049 He wants people going, well, I'm not too sure. 554 00:22:45,116 --> 00:22:46,066 under the radar. 555 00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:49,366 I think here I go talking 556 00:22:49,366 --> 00:22:53,083 weird again, but I think in some sense that Satan is a general term. 557 00:22:53,150 --> 00:22:54,283 in some sense. 558 00:22:54,349 --> 00:22:57,466 Because it doesn't say anything about where's the rest of the fallen angels and all 559 00:22:57,466 --> 00:23:00,516 the demons and all this stuff that's, you know, that's with the big guy. 560 00:23:00,650 --> 00:23:01,116 Right. 561 00:23:01,133 --> 00:23:01,733 Right. 562 00:23:01,783 --> 00:23:03,216 But all that stuff's gonna be thrown in there. 563 00:23:03,283 --> 00:23:04,049 Yeah, yeah. 564 00:23:04,133 --> 00:23:04,966 Yeah, absolutely. 565 00:23:04,966 --> 00:23:07,066 And then he specifies the Dragon. 566 00:23:07,133 --> 00:23:08,033 The dragon. 567 00:23:08,083 --> 00:23:10,533 This is and capitalizes Satan here too. 568 00:23:10,616 --> 00:23:11,033 Yeah. 569 00:23:11,083 --> 00:23:14,083 Well, the difference between him and the other things tossed 570 00:23:14,083 --> 00:23:15,450 in is that he gets tied up. 571 00:23:15,533 --> 00:23:16,433 Yeah, he's done. 572 00:23:16,483 --> 00:23:19,716 With a with a great chain or 573 00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:20,799 a huge chain. 574 00:23:20,866 --> 00:23:23,866 And so, I mean, this angel, not only is this 575 00:23:23,866 --> 00:23:27,033 angel, you know, pretty tough because he just grabs him and ties him up. 576 00:23:27,116 --> 00:23:30,049 I mean, you know, think of think of a cowboy. 577 00:23:30,116 --> 00:23:33,416 You know, he just wrangles him right down, just hog ties him right on up. 578 00:23:33,466 --> 00:23:34,000 Whoop. 579 00:23:34,133 --> 00:23:37,133 Well, we saw, you know, got one foot in ocean, one foot 580 00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:38,750 on the land, you know, it's got a book. 581 00:23:38,816 --> 00:23:40,133 Yeah. 582 00:23:40,133 --> 00:23:41,200 Book's too little for work. 583 00:23:41,266 --> 00:23:42,166 This is a big guy. 584 00:23:42,233 --> 00:23:42,533 Yeah. 585 00:23:42,583 --> 00:23:43,900 He this, man. 586 00:23:43,966 --> 00:23:47,683 Then verse four. 587 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:48,216 verse four. 588 00:23:48,283 --> 00:23:51,450 And then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment 589 00:23:51,466 --> 00:23:54,766 was given to them, and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded 590 00:23:54,766 --> 00:23:58,299 because of their testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and 591 00:23:58,316 --> 00:24:01,549 those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the 592 00:24:01,549 --> 00:24:04,849 mark on their forehead and on their hand, and they came to life, 593 00:24:04,849 --> 00:24:07,116 and reigned with Christ for a 1000 years. 594 00:24:07,183 --> 00:24:09,933 So this is the tribulation saints, right? 595 00:24:10,016 --> 00:24:11,333 Yeah, tribulation saints. 596 00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:13,183 And they get a they get an honor too, right? 597 00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:14,916 There's the bride of Christ, which is us. 598 00:24:14,983 --> 00:24:15,883 Yes, yes. 599 00:24:15,950 --> 00:24:18,099 The church age Christians. 600 00:24:18,166 --> 00:24:19,299 And these guys are different. 601 00:24:19,366 --> 00:24:22,483 Right, different, but they get their own special kind of... 602 00:24:22,549 --> 00:24:23,450 Yeah, absolutely. 603 00:24:23,516 --> 00:24:24,416 Absolutely. 604 00:24:24,466 --> 00:24:24,700 Yeah. 605 00:24:24,766 --> 00:24:27,933 Because he, you know, it's like Israel 606 00:24:27,950 --> 00:24:30,466 has got a special place with him, right? 607 00:24:30,533 --> 00:24:34,666 And so with each with each age, he's got a people. 608 00:24:34,733 --> 00:24:38,033 With each age, he's got somebody who's close to him in a different way. 609 00:24:38,083 --> 00:24:38,733 Yeah. 610 00:24:38,750 --> 00:24:39,466 Yeah. 611 00:24:39,533 --> 00:24:41,266 So a beautiful thing. 612 00:24:41,333 --> 00:24:44,500 So the Thrones, it says mine, mine says, and they sat 613 00:24:44,516 --> 00:24:46,183 on them in judgment was given to them. 614 00:24:46,250 --> 00:24:47,450 Who'd think that is? 615 00:24:47,516 --> 00:24:50,866 I'm guessing. 616 00:24:50,933 --> 00:24:54,883 I'm guessing this is coming out of 1st Corinthians 62. 617 00:24:55,066 --> 00:24:58,116 Yeah. where Paul says that don't you 618 00:24:58,133 --> 00:24:59,450 know that the saints will judge the world? 619 00:24:59,516 --> 00:25:00,883 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 620 00:25:00,950 --> 00:25:01,549 Absolutely 621 00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:03,633 You think that we're the they? 622 00:25:03,766 --> 00:25:05,683 Yeah, I think we definitely could be here. 623 00:25:05,750 --> 00:25:09,049 I mean, the rest of the dead here 624 00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:11,616 is the 2nd death or the 2nd resurrection. 625 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:14,916 And it'll be for the lost of all ages 626 00:25:14,933 --> 00:25:18,049 that we talk about here, but the 1st resurrection encompasses 627 00:25:18,049 --> 00:25:21,283 believers of all ages, even though it happens in stages, 628 00:25:21,283 --> 00:25:22,950 you know, and that's what we're going to see here in a minute. 629 00:25:23,033 --> 00:25:24,650 But yeah, I think I think you're right. 630 00:25:24,716 --> 00:25:27,883 I think it could definitely be our 631 00:25:27,883 --> 00:25:29,683 time that we're going to be judging. 632 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:32,983 Yeah, ruling and reigning with Christ and we see that here too. 633 00:25:33,049 --> 00:25:36,099 And we'll be we'll be coming face to face with the ones that's been 634 00:25:36,116 --> 00:25:37,183 beating us up our whole life. 635 00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:38,316 Yeah, right? 636 00:25:38,383 --> 00:25:39,033 Oh, yeah. 637 00:25:39,116 --> 00:25:40,366 Absolutely. 638 00:25:40,433 --> 00:25:41,033 Yeah. 639 00:25:41,083 --> 00:25:43,416 That's going to be awesome. 640 00:25:43,483 --> 00:25:44,683 Yeah. 641 00:25:44,750 --> 00:25:45,400 Hi, bud. 642 00:25:45,466 --> 00:25:46,000 be rough. 643 00:25:46,066 --> 00:25:46,716 What's up? 644 00:25:46,783 --> 00:25:47,500 I see you again? 645 00:25:47,566 --> 00:25:47,916 Come on. 646 00:25:47,983 --> 00:25:49,000 Yeah, what do you got now? 647 00:25:49,066 --> 00:25:50,016 Come on, Claytus. 648 00:25:50,083 --> 00:25:53,016 might walk over here, but you limp back. 649 00:25:53,083 --> 00:25:53,733 back. 650 00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:58,549 Oh boy. 651 00:25:58,616 --> 00:26:02,150 You know, and the interesting, 652 00:26:02,150 --> 00:26:05,383 the amazing thing to me in that verse is that you're seeing these 653 00:26:05,383 --> 00:26:06,450 people that made it. 654 00:26:06,533 --> 00:26:09,766 They died for Christ during 655 00:26:09,766 --> 00:26:10,900 during the tribulation. 656 00:26:10,966 --> 00:26:13,966 They get the honor of coming back 1st 657 00:26:13,966 --> 00:26:17,316 of being given flesh and blood bodies 658 00:26:17,333 --> 00:26:20,450 back on the earth, and they get that 1st and it 659 00:26:20,450 --> 00:26:23,983 says, um, that they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand. 660 00:26:24,049 --> 00:26:25,549 I think it's talking about them specifically. 661 00:26:25,616 --> 00:26:26,866 They are given a special honor. 662 00:26:26,933 --> 00:26:29,933 because of what they went through. 663 00:26:29,983 --> 00:26:30,816 Yeah. 664 00:26:30,833 --> 00:26:32,033 And that's pretty incredible. 665 00:26:32,083 --> 00:26:32,683 Yeah. 666 00:26:32,683 --> 00:26:35,916 It's a blip in eternity, but still pretty incredible. 667 00:26:35,983 --> 00:26:37,000 Right. 668 00:26:37,016 --> 00:26:37,733 You know what? 669 00:26:38,216 --> 00:26:40,666 let's don't let's don't sell us short too. 670 00:26:40,733 --> 00:26:44,033 Because honestly, I think I think Christians today are living in 671 00:26:44,033 --> 00:26:46,299 the most difficult spiritual times that have ever existed. 672 00:26:46,366 --> 00:26:46,966 Sure. 673 00:26:47,033 --> 00:26:50,333 I think there are more temptations right now than even 674 00:26:50,333 --> 00:26:52,299 the tribulation saints will face. 675 00:26:52,366 --> 00:26:54,033 But we don't we don't get beheaded for it. 676 00:26:54,116 --> 00:26:55,016 Right, right. 677 00:26:55,066 --> 00:26:56,683 But we get don't deadly. 678 00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:57,049 Right. 679 00:26:57,116 --> 00:26:59,816 Well, we get slammed with something. 680 00:26:59,866 --> 00:27:03,216 It's so much more... 681 00:27:03,283 --> 00:27:06,216 What's the word I'm looking for? 682 00:27:06,283 --> 00:27:07,483 It's more defarious. 683 00:27:07,549 --> 00:27:10,299 Like the, the, the stuff that we we experience today. 684 00:27:10,366 --> 00:27:13,483 It's so subtle and it's so it 685 00:27:13,483 --> 00:27:14,849 just worms its way in. 686 00:27:14,933 --> 00:27:16,133 And it really is. 687 00:27:16,183 --> 00:27:19,299 And it's something that it's so easy for Christians to fall into a whole lot of traps because 688 00:27:19,316 --> 00:27:20,333 they're just, they're everywhere. 689 00:27:20,383 --> 00:27:21,400 Landmines. 690 00:27:21,466 --> 00:27:22,666 I mean, you walk out your door. 691 00:27:22,733 --> 00:27:23,566 stuff too, yeah. 692 00:27:23,633 --> 00:27:23,983 Yeah. 693 00:27:24,049 --> 00:27:24,349 Oh, yeah. 694 00:27:24,416 --> 00:27:25,433 And we're numb. 695 00:27:25,483 --> 00:27:26,133 Yeah, numb to it. 696 00:27:26,216 --> 00:27:28,366 But we're like lot living in Sodom. 697 00:27:28,433 --> 00:27:31,483 Yeah, we've seen so much and been exposed over and over 698 00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:33,333 and over and it's just like, eh. 699 00:27:33,416 --> 00:27:36,533 And, and, I wish that was a 700 00:27:36,533 --> 00:27:39,583 way not to grow numb to it, but it's, it is a 701 00:27:39,583 --> 00:27:42,583 defense mechanism that our, that our human bodies 702 00:27:42,583 --> 00:27:44,616 have. 703 00:27:44,683 --> 00:27:45,933 Yeah, yeah. 704 00:27:46,016 --> 00:27:48,416 And it, uh, well, it's partly that. 705 00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:51,466 and it's partly too, just the defense mechanism keeps us from going crazy. 706 00:27:51,533 --> 00:27:55,000 I mean, because, I mean, if you really stop and think about the some 707 00:27:55,016 --> 00:27:58,483 of the stuff that goes on around, it's like, you start twitching a little bit. 708 00:27:58,549 --> 00:28:01,599 Well, if you weren't eased into it too, you know, I mean, you take somebody 709 00:28:01,616 --> 00:28:04,616 from 100 years ago and put them into today and let them look around 710 00:28:04,616 --> 00:28:05,633 at the news and what's going on. 711 00:28:05,683 --> 00:28:10,000 A Christian from then now would be like, whoa, probably have a heart attack. 712 00:28:10,066 --> 00:28:10,966 Yeah absolutely. 713 00:28:11,033 --> 00:28:12,166 That's their thing. 714 00:28:12,233 --> 00:28:12,766 You brought them back. 715 00:28:12,833 --> 00:28:14,200 They wouldn't stay back very long. 716 00:28:14,266 --> 00:28:18,466 It's hit verse five. 717 00:28:18,533 --> 00:28:21,533 But the rest of the day had lived not until the 718 00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:24,349 1000 years was finished, and this is the 1st resurrection. 719 00:28:24,416 --> 00:28:27,466 In verse six, blessed and holy is he that hath part in 720 00:28:27,466 --> 00:28:30,816 the 1st resurrection, on such the 2nd death hath 721 00:28:30,833 --> 00:28:35,033 no power, but they shall be priest of God, and Christ 722 00:28:35,033 --> 00:28:37,599 and shall reign with him a 1000 years. 723 00:28:37,666 --> 00:28:40,716 So, um, so here we have, 724 00:28:40,733 --> 00:28:43,783 again, we have, uh, we have this 725 00:28:43,783 --> 00:28:46,900 group of people in verse 4 that live and 726 00:28:46,916 --> 00:28:50,216 reign with Christ, and then we have this group of people in verse 6 that 727 00:28:50,216 --> 00:28:51,583 shall live in the reign of Christ. 728 00:28:51,650 --> 00:28:52,299 Um, 729 00:28:52,483 --> 00:28:55,900 So the rest 730 00:28:55,916 --> 00:28:58,849 of the day, it is the 2nd death of the 2nd resurrection. 731 00:28:58,916 --> 00:29:01,916 And again, it's going to be for 732 00:29:01,916 --> 00:29:05,083 the lost, and we'll get to that in just a little bit, but the 1st resurrection 733 00:29:05,083 --> 00:29:07,116 encompasses believers of all ages. 734 00:29:07,183 --> 00:29:08,733 It's just who it's who we are. 735 00:29:08,816 --> 00:29:09,766 It's part of who we are. 736 00:29:09,833 --> 00:29:13,000 So, um, well, 1st is kind of a, 737 00:29:13,016 --> 00:29:15,049 I think that's where it brings us in together. 738 00:29:15,116 --> 00:29:15,833 Yeah. 739 00:29:15,833 --> 00:29:19,366 You know what I'm saying, as far as ruling and raining. 740 00:29:19,433 --> 00:29:22,483 Even though it happens in stages, like 741 00:29:22,483 --> 00:29:24,933 it doesn't happen altogether at the same time. 742 00:29:25,016 --> 00:29:25,666 you know? 743 00:29:25,733 --> 00:29:28,483 But and I've got a little bit more about that. 744 00:29:28,549 --> 00:29:31,116 and some more verses, but I don't want to go too far. 745 00:29:31,183 --> 00:29:32,983 I was trying to get, I was getting ahead of myself, but. 746 00:29:33,049 --> 00:29:34,000 No, no, no. 747 00:29:34,066 --> 00:29:37,116 I was thinking, you know, first, we don't need to get 748 00:29:37,133 --> 00:29:38,333 too carried away with first. 749 00:29:38,383 --> 00:29:40,783 This is 1st in contrast to the 2nd that's coming up. 750 00:29:40,849 --> 00:29:41,616 Right. 751 00:29:41,633 --> 00:29:43,433 The 1st one, Jesus, getting down the grave. 752 00:29:43,483 --> 00:29:43,900 right. 753 00:29:44,033 --> 00:29:46,966 And then the 2nd was a bunch of people got out of the grave after that. 754 00:29:47,033 --> 00:29:47,633 That's right. 755 00:29:47,683 --> 00:29:48,033 That's right 756 00:29:48,166 --> 00:29:48,766 Yes. 757 00:29:48,833 --> 00:29:49,599 Absolutely. 758 00:29:49,666 --> 00:29:50,733 And then there's a rapture. 759

00:29:55,183 Yes. 764 00:29:55,183 --> 00:29:58,416 So there's, I mean, we're like on the 4th or something, right? 765 00:29:58,483 --> 00:29:58,900 Yeah. 766 00:29:58,966 --> 00:29:59,316 Yeah. 767 00:29:59,383 --> 00:30:02,383 But he's talking about first, 1st is a resurrection 768 00:30:02,383 --> 00:30:05,500 to life, and the 2nd is not so good. 769 00:30:05,566 --> 00:30:06,583 No, it's not. 770 00:30:06,650 --> 00:30:08,383 Yeah, that's the everybody else. 771 00:30:08,450 --> 00:30:10,250 That's the rest of the dead. 772 00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:13,666 That'll be resurrected and standing at the great white throne that we'll see here in just a little bit. 773 00:30:13,733 --> 00:30:16,133 Yeah. 774 00:30:16,133 --> 00:30:19,666 Seven, 775 00:30:19,666 --> 00:30:21,883 seven, 7 through nine. 7 through nine. 776 00:30:21,950 --> 00:30:22,299 perfect. 777 00:30:22,366 --> 00:30:26,266 When the 1000 years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison. 778 00:30:26,266 --> 00:30:29,433 And we'll come out to deceive the nations which are in the 4 corners 779 00:30:29,450 --> 00:30:33,166 of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war. 780 00:30:33,233 --> 00:30:35,983 The number of them is like the sand of the seashore. 781 00:30:36,049 --> 00:30:39,166 And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded 782 00:30:39,166 --> 00:30:42,283 the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire 783 00:30:42,283 --> 00:30:43,900 came down from heaven and devoured them. 784 00:30:43,966 --> 00:30:47,016 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire 785 00:30:47,033 --> 00:30:50,500 and brimstone with a beast and false prophet are also, and 786 00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:53,216 they will be tormented day and night forever. 787 00:30:53,266 --> 00:30:53,983 ever and ever. 788 00:30:54,049 --> 00:30:56,983 Man, can you imagine? 789 00:30:57,049 --> 00:31:00,166 I mean, this is, imagine, you know, everybody 790 00:31:00,166 --> 00:31:01,416 complains about the government. 791 00:31:01,483 --> 00:31:04,533 Whatever side you're on, we're going to complain about the government. 792 00:31:04,616 --> 00:31:07,066 This is an absolutely perfect government. 793 00:31:07,133 --> 00:31:07,966 It is. 794 00:31:07,966 --> 00:31:09,333 A perfect king. 795 00:31:09,416 --> 00:31:12,283 Ruling the whole world with perfect justice. 796 00:31:12,349 --> 00:31:13,416 perfect peace. 797 00:31:13,483 --> 00:31:14,733 Everything's perfect. 798 00:31:14,816 --> 00:31:15,349 Yeah. 799 00:31:15,349 --> 00:31:17,016 And this happens, man. 800 00:31:17,150 --> 00:31:18,766 This happens anyway. 801 00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:22,250 It just goes to show us the perfect government ain't going to fix nothing. 802 00:31:22,366 --> 00:31:23,200 Right, right. 803 00:31:23,266 --> 00:31:26,433 And this is, of course, we've already kind of talked about 804 00:31:26,450 --> 00:31:29,450 this a little bit, but we'll find that there will 805 00:31:29,450 --> 00:31:32,616 be many, according to these scriptures right here who 806 00:31:32,633 --> 00:31:34,066 will be deceived, right? 807 00:31:34,133 --> 00:31:37,250 At the end of this 1000 year reign, and Satan will 808 00:31:37,250 --> 00:31:40,849 have his his last attempt at being God, right? 809 00:31:40,916 --> 00:31:43,966 Uh, and and he's going to try one more 810 00:31:43,966 --> 00:31:47,083 time, but of course, Christ will easily win this whole thing, just, you 811 00:31:47,083 --> 00:31:50,683 know, just like he did in the Battle of Armageddon. 812 00:31:50,750 --> 00:31:53,750 You know, I've heard people a lot of times say, 813 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:58,000 what about this 814 00:31:58,016 --> 00:32:01,016 group of people or that group of people that died and how, you know, and 815 00:32:01,016 --> 00:32:02,933 how, how's, how are they going to get sorted out? 816 00:32:02,983 --> 00:32:05,983 I think there's a lot of sorting that's going to go on here from people that 817 00:32:05,983 --> 00:32:09,099 may have even passed before that, you know, 818 00:32:09,116 --> 00:32:12,116 for whatever reason, they made their choice, but they never really made their choice 819 00:32:12,116 --> 00:32:15,233 or they, they, you know, maybe went one 820 00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:18,233 way, but they never really, 821 00:32:18,233 --> 00:32:20,566 it was never a clear cut decision. 822 00:32:20,633 --> 00:32:21,950 I'm choosing this. 823 00:32:22,016 --> 00:32:24,049 And I think this is where they're going to have that choice. 824 00:32:24,116 --> 00:32:27,883 They're going to have a 1000 years under Christ and they're going to have some time with Satan. 825 00:32:27,950 --> 00:32:29,500 And like you say, there's going to be a bunch of them. 826 00:32:29,566 --> 00:32:30,583 going to go, oh, I want that. 827 00:32:30,650 --> 00:32:31,066 Yeah. 828 00:32:31,066 --> 00:32:34,900 And they're going to go that way, and then there's going to be others that go, no, that's a terrible idea. 829 00:32:34,966 --> 00:32:37,716 I'm going to stick with what I got over here and they're going to choose, they're going to choose Christ. 830 00:32:37,783 --> 00:32:40,900 And I think that that goes to any, 831 00:32:40,916 --> 00:32:44,450 you know, like you had said earlier, it goes to any of them that, 832 00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:47,866 that we're safe, that are considered saints and considered part 833 00:32:47,866 --> 00:32:51,216 of that family and part of that Christian faith before Christ. 834 00:32:51,283 --> 00:32:54,283 And, and I think there's going to be a, 835 00:32:54,283 --> 00:32:57,400 we're going to see a lot, a lot of people at this point that 836 00:32:57,416 --> 00:33:00,349 this is their, their moment of decision. 837 00:33:00,416 --> 00:33:01,366 They get a whole 1000 years for it. 838 00:33:01,433 --> 00:33:03,583 That's pretty awesome. 839 00:33:03,650 --> 00:33:06,883 They get a whole 1000 years of good and then tempted 840 00:33:06,883 --> 00:33:10,483 at the end of this thing and it really, it doesn't say how 841 00:33:10,483 --> 00:33:12,283 long this whole thing's going to last. 842 00:33:12,349 --> 00:33:13,366 I don't think it's going to last long. 843 00:33:13,433 --> 00:33:14,566 short time. 844 00:33:14,633 --> 00:33:15,833 Yeah, it's a short time. 845 00:33:15,883 --> 00:33:19,533 So what I don't know what a short time to God is, you know, in this. 846 00:33:19,616 --> 00:33:22,916 I start saying after witnessing a 1000 years, a short time is somewhat relative. 847 00:33:23,033 --> 00:33:25,549 You know, maybe a 100 years or maybe 5 minutes. 848 00:33:25,616 --> 00:33:28,733 Yeah, I think it would have to be in comparison to that 1000 years 849 00:33:28,733 --> 00:33:30,283 to for it to be a short time. 850 00:33:30,349 --> 00:33:30,766 Right. 851 00:33:30,766 --> 00:33:32,133 Yeah, so. 852 00:33:32,216 --> 00:33:36,283 But it's going to be long enough for everybody to be given that option and to be given the ability. 853 00:33:36,349 --> 00:33:39,650 And then, you know, you have the people born during this time and all that well, 854 00:33:39,650 --> 00:33:41,266 that still, they have to make that choice. 855 00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:42,766 They're born with us in there. 856 00:33:42,766 --> 00:33:45,816 Those are the people that have to make it because everybody else has really already made that choice. 857 00:33:45,883 --> 00:33:46,900 Yeah, that's here. 858 00:33:46,966 --> 00:33:47,200 Yeah. 859 00:33:47,266 --> 00:33:49,599 And so, you know, you have all that. 860 00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:53,083 And I think I think it's going to be a pretty, pretty wild thing to see is, 861 00:33:53,083 --> 00:33:56,133 is that choice being, being just right here. 862 00:33:56,216 --> 00:33:59,383 And it's so much more clear cut, too, because it 863 00:33:59,383 --> 00:34:02,383 is that 1000 years of peace versus the 864 00:34:02,383 --> 00:34:05,433 dragon comes back and starts really, you know, messing things up and 865 00:34:05,450 --> 00:34:08,983 it's like, it's mind boggling to me that people then choose that when 866 00:34:08,983 --> 00:34:11,133 being given the stark contrast. 867 00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:15,050 But this is, this is, again, that perfect justice. 868 00:34:15,116 --> 00:34:17,516 Yeah, something new for them, right? 869 00:34:17,566 --> 00:34:17,866 Yeah. 870 00:34:17,933 --> 00:34:18,400 shiny 871 00:34:18,650 --> 00:34:21,883 And here we here we got this, and then verse 10, we've 872 00:34:21,883 --> 00:34:24,449 got this punishment of Satan. 873 00:34:24,533 --> 00:34:25,783 This is his final judgment. 874 00:34:25,849 --> 00:34:28,849 And again, going back 875 00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:31,783 to this whole annihilation thing. 876 00:34:31,849 --> 00:34:35,449 It says those last, 877 00:34:35,449 --> 00:34:38,566 it says he shall be tormented in verse 10 day 878 00:34:38,566 --> 00:34:40,716 and night forever and ever. 879 00:34:40,783 --> 00:34:41,800 That's clear. 880 00:34:41,816 --> 00:34:42,466 That's clear. 881 00:34:42,533 --> 00:34:45,583 Yeah, it doesn't say for a time, you know, 882 00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:46,716 and then he'll be destroyed. 883 00:34:46,783 --> 00:34:48,333 No, forever and ever. 884 00:34:48,416 --> 00:34:50,516 Yeah. 885 00:34:50,516 --> 00:34:54,533 And and that's just the that's the lake of fire. 886 00:34:54,583 --> 00:34:57,699 Everybody that's in there is in the same boat. 887 00:34:57,833 --> 00:35:00,949 And, you know, a lot of people like to think, well, I'll just, you know, 888 00:35:00,949 --> 00:35:03,216 go down to drink with my buddies and that kind of stuff. 889 00:35:03,283 --> 00:35:05,316 Satan's the ruler of hell kind of thing. 890 00:35:05,383 --> 00:35:05,983 Oh, yeah. 891 00:35:06,716 --> 00:35:10,066 When I hear, gosh, when I hear people say that, I think, man. 892 00:35:10,133 --> 00:35:12,349 You don't know what you're saying. 893 00:35:12,416 --> 00:35:15,416 The ignorance of that is just 894 00:35:15,416 --> 00:35:18,883 beyond comprehension to say, 895 00:35:18,883 --> 00:35:19,900 yeah, yeah, I know. 896 00:35:19,966 --> 00:35:20,983 I'm probably going to end up. 897 00:35:21,050 --> 00:35:22,116 Hell, I'm going to party. 898 00:35:22,183 --> 00:35:25,416 like I've never partied before, you know, I'm gonna, 899 00:35:25,433 --> 00:35:26,750 I'm gonna raise hell and hell. 900 00:35:26,816 --> 00:35:27,949 Yeah, yeah. 901 00:35:28,849 --> 00:35:31,550 No, you're probably going to get abused by all an angels. 902 00:35:31,616 --> 00:35:32,383 Yeah, yeah. 903 00:35:32,449 --> 00:35:35,150 There's, there's no, uh, there's no peace. 904 00:35:35,150 --> 00:35:36,283 There's no peace. 905 00:35:36,349 --> 00:35:38,016 No dark, complete darkness. 906 00:35:38,083 --> 00:35:40,599 Oh, boy. 907 00:35:40,733 --> 00:35:42,283 Yeah, that's just dumb. 908 00:35:42,349 --> 00:35:45,583 And this, I don't hit on this gog of Magog thing. 909 00:35:45,650 --> 00:35:47,316 This is a little bit confusing. 910 00:35:47,383 --> 00:35:49,483 It shows up in a few different places. 911 00:35:49,550 --> 00:35:52,900 There's an Ezekiel battle of dog in Magog. 912 00:35:52,966 --> 00:35:56,133 And I think generally what Gog and Gog and Magog 913 00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:59,316 or Gog of Magog really means is like a 914 00:35:59,333 --> 00:36:00,949 leader and a bunch of people. 915 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,033 It's really just kind of a general thing. 916 00:36:03,116 --> 00:36:06,533 I mean, we can kind of nail it down in one prophecy to maybe 917 00:36:06,533 --> 00:36:10,250 Russia or Turkey or something somewhere north of Jerusalem. 918 00:36:10,316 --> 00:36:13,433 But this one's not the same as the Ezekiel because Ezekiel 919 00:36:13,433 --> 00:36:15,400 is talking about army coming out of the north. 920 00:36:15,466 --> 00:36:16,966 And this one's surrounded. 921 00:36:16,966 --> 00:36:17,433 Yeah. 922 00:36:17,516 --> 00:36:17,933 Surrounding. 923 00:36:17,933 --> 00:36:18,650 Right. 924 00:36:18,716 --> 00:36:19,550 Competent and I. 925 00:36:19,616 --> 00:36:19,849 Yeah. 926 00:36:19,849 --> 00:36:21,883 It's the camp of the Saints. 927 00:36:21,883 --> 00:36:22,416 It's all around. 928 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:23,916 And that there's a camp. 929 00:36:23,983 --> 00:36:24,699 What's a camp? 930 00:36:24,766 --> 00:36:25,900 Yeah, it's temporary. 931 00:36:25,966 --> 00:36:26,566 Yeah, it is. 932 00:36:26,633 --> 00:36:27,050 It is. 933 00:36:27,050 --> 00:36:27,466 Temporary. 934 00:36:27,533 --> 00:36:28,000 your home. 935 00:36:28,066 --> 00:36:31,000 No, no, it's not because we ain't got a new heaven in new earth yet. 936 00:36:31,066 --> 00:36:31,483 That's right. 937 00:36:31,550 --> 00:36:31,849 Right? 938 00:36:31,849 --> 00:36:32,150 Yeah. 939 00:36:32,216 --> 00:36:35,750 And the wild thing is they refers to it. 940 00:36:35,816 --> 00:36:38,449 It says the camp of the Saints and the beloved city. 941 00:36:38,566 --> 00:36:41,316 I mean, it's talking about Jerusalem here. 942 00:36:41,383 --> 00:36:42,449 Yep, yeah. 943 00:36:42,533 --> 00:36:44,500 No doubt what it's talking about. 944 00:36:44,566 --> 00:36:45,466 camping. 945 00:36:45,533 --> 00:36:48,650 But what really, really struck me 946 00:36:48,650 --> 00:36:51,766 in that when it talks about Gog and Magog, together them 947 00:36:51,766 --> 00:36:55,833 together for battle, the number of whom is as the sands of the sea. 948 00:36:55,966 --> 00:36:58,233 Yeah, 1000 years. 949 00:36:58,666 --> 00:36:59,199 A lot of people. 950 00:36:59,266 --> 00:37:00,099 Yeah, yeah. 951 00:37:00,166 --> 00:37:03,283 I mean, yeah, but to have so 952 00:37:03,283 --> 00:37:06,933 many that it looked like literal sand from, 953 00:37:06,949 --> 00:37:09,949 you know, John's looking at you, wow, man, that's a, that is 954 00:37:09,949 --> 00:37:12,816 mind boggling that that many still go inside. 955 00:37:12,883 --> 00:37:13,533 Yeah. 956 00:37:13,550 --> 00:37:14,016 Yeah. 957 00:37:14,083 --> 00:37:14,983 The one against Jesus. 958 00:37:15,116 --> 00:37:15,650 right. 959 00:37:15,716 --> 00:37:18,283 Especially considering how many were killed. 960 00:37:18,349 --> 00:37:21,949 I mean, this is the people that came through the 1000 years. 961 00:37:22,016 --> 00:37:24,716 This is not people that came through the tribulation. 962 00:37:24,766 --> 00:37:26,616 And they've lived in bliss. 963 00:37:26,683 --> 00:37:29,133 I mean, they've lived in total. 964 00:37:29,216 --> 00:37:32,449 I mean, it's paradise on earth because Jesus 965 00:37:32,449 --> 00:37:35,449 is here and everything is great and they're healthy and 966 00:37:35,449 --> 00:37:38,500 they're, you know, they can eat what they 967 00:37:38,516 --> 00:37:41,216 want to eat and do what they want to do and everything's good. 968 00:37:41,266 --> 00:37:44,500 And then here we have, um, 969 00:37:44,516 --> 00:37:48,166 all these people that decide, hey, because 970 00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:52,233 Satan, his his temptation towards us is strong. 971 00:37:52,316 --> 00:37:56,266 His temptation game is, is, is, he's on top of it. 972 00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:57,283 I mean he's good. 973 00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:59,616 I mean, he goes back to Adam and Eve, right? 974 00:37:59,683 --> 00:38:01,533 I mean, they, hey, they had it. 975 00:38:01,616 --> 00:38:02,816 They were living in paradise. 976 00:38:02,866 --> 00:38:04,666 They had everything they could ever want. 977 00:38:04,733 --> 00:38:08,199 They were they were ruling over the earth, right? 978 00:38:08,266 --> 00:38:11,433 I mean, he was naming animals and the animals were coming up and going, 979 00:38:11,449 --> 00:38:14,266 hey, you know, Adam had them patting them on the head, right? 980 00:38:14,333 --> 00:38:17,449 And then and then the next thing you know, Satan comes 981 00:38:17,449 --> 00:38:20,566 up and he's like, hey, come over here and try this 982 00:38:20,566 --> 00:38:21,883 little piece of fruit, you know? 983 00:38:21,949 --> 00:38:22,849 I need a piece of food. 984 00:38:22,916 --> 00:38:25,916 Yeah, this will be make it even better than 985 00:38:25,916 --> 00:38:27,116 what you got it right now. 986 00:38:27,166 --> 00:38:30,400 But wait, I just wonder what, 987 00:38:30,416 --> 00:38:33,583 you know, the conversation was like, you know, but wait, I 988 00:38:33,583 --> 00:38:34,833 think we got it pretty good. 989 00:38:34,916 --> 00:38:38,266 Oh, you think you got it good, but it can be so much 990 00:38:38,266 --> 00:38:39,516 better than this, right? 991 00:38:39,583 --> 00:38:42,099 And so you're going to have a lot of new blood. 992 00:38:42,166 --> 00:38:45,933 This is Satan's new blood right here and he's like, I'll take them out and, 993 00:38:45,949 --> 00:38:47,916 you know, I'll overrule. 994 00:38:47,983 --> 00:38:50,983 And I think ultimately he hits he gets these people the same 995 00:38:50,983 --> 00:38:52,233 way he got Adam and Eve. 996 00:38:52,316 --> 00:38:55,316 Well, if you, but see, God told you not 997 00:38:55,316 --> 00:38:58,366 to do that because if you eat of that fruit, you're going 998 00:38:58,366 --> 00:39:01,300 to know good and evil and you will be like God. 999 00:39:01,366 --> 00:39:03,333 Most of these people are in the exact same spot as Eve. 1000 00:39:03,416 --> 00:39:04,550 Exactly. 1001 00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:06,349 They've never been tempted before and they're told. 1002 00:39:06,416 --> 00:39:09,050 Hey, well, and here's the thing. 1003 00:39:09,116 --> 00:39:10,966 They're not the priests. 1004 00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:14,733 They're not the ones ruling with Christ during this 1000 years and 1005 00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:16,900 Satan comes up and goes, you want to rule like them? 1006 00:39:16,966 --> 00:39:17,500 Yeah. 1007 00:39:17,566 --> 00:39:18,883 You want to be a priest? 1008 00:39:18,949 --> 00:39:21,216 You want to be one of those high priests like that? 1009 00:39:21,283 --> 00:39:22,833 I can show you how to be. 1010 00:39:22,966 --> 00:39:24,633 All we got to do is just get up and kill them. 1011 00:39:24,716 --> 00:39:26,033 And then you can take their place. 1012 00:39:26,083 --> 00:39:28,783 And they're going to go, oh, yeah, I want that. 1013 00:39:28,849 --> 00:39:29,500 It's that jealousy. 1014 00:39:29,633 --> 00:39:31,066 I've never known jealousy. 1015 00:39:31,133 --> 00:39:31,900 That's never known. 1016 00:39:31,966 --> 00:39:33,166 They've never... 1017 00:39:33,233 --> 00:39:36,883 They've never known temptation in any form, shape, form or fashion. 1018 00:39:36,949 --> 00:39:41,150 Um, You know, they've 1019 00:39:41,150 --> 00:39:43,183 got to know the word of God during this time, though. 1020 00:39:43,250 --> 00:39:46,300 I mean, because in this perfection, they've got they've 1021 00:39:46,316 --> 00:39:49,916 got to know the truth of the word of God and then still choose. 1022 00:39:49,966 --> 00:39:53,316 Well, and and here's and in 1023 00:39:53,333 --> 00:39:56,800 my mind, and I may be wrong about this, but in my mind, they 1024 00:39:56,816 --> 00:39:59,933 have a leg up on Adam and Eve, because they have all 1025 00:39:59,933 --> 00:40:03,233 of us and all the tribulations saying, sitting 1026 00:40:03,233 --> 00:40:06,349 there saying, not only here's what the word of God said, 1027 00:40:06,349 --> 00:40:07,366 here's what God teaches. 1028 00:40:07,433 --> 00:40:08,933 Here's what God's instructed us do. 1029 00:40:08,983 --> 00:40:12,400 This is what it's like not to have perfection. 1030 00:40:12,466 --> 00:40:14,683 Because we know through it. 1031 00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:15,349 Exactly. 1032 00:40:15,416 --> 00:40:16,483 Elders live through it. 1033 00:40:16,550 --> 00:40:18,400 You know, you look back at the times of Adam. 1034 00:40:18,466 --> 00:40:21,633 Adam was still alive when his 7th grandson was... 1035 00:40:21,716 --> 00:40:22,550 Yeah, yeah. 1036 00:40:22,616 --> 00:40:23,150 right. 1037 00:40:23,216 --> 00:40:26,083 Huge, huge overlaps in his generations. 1038 00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:28,300 have word of mouth all the way down what it was like. 1039 00:40:28,366 --> 00:40:31,666 And now they're going to, and these people are going to have the same thing. 1040 00:40:31,733 --> 00:40:34,733 People that were here during the worst 1041 00:40:34,733 --> 00:40:38,750 time during the tribulation, they're going to have people that were here prior to the tribulation saying, yeah, you know what? 1042 00:40:38,816 --> 00:40:41,983 Things weren't as bad as it was then, but it was still bad because 1043 00:40:41,983 --> 00:40:43,349 it wasn't as good as it is now. 1044 00:40:43,433 --> 00:40:46,599 And they're going to have us telling them, guys, it wasn't as good. 1045 00:40:46,666 --> 00:40:50,083 We have to reject sin and here's why, because we've seen the results. 1046 00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:51,216 We've seen the downfall. 1047 00:40:51,283 --> 00:40:54,216 We've seen how it slithers in and slowly eats you alive. 1048 00:40:54,283 --> 00:40:57,699 And they're still once they hit that temptation. 1049 00:40:57,833 --> 00:40:59,150 They're just like, yep, we're going that. 1050 00:40:59,266 --> 00:41:01,366 Because Satan's saying, look, they're just telling you this. 1051 00:41:01,433 --> 00:41:03,349 You really don't know the truth. 1052 00:41:03,416 --> 00:41:03,883 I was there. 1053 00:41:04,016 --> 00:41:04,916 I seen it. 1054 00:41:04,966 --> 00:41:05,566 Exactly. 1055 00:41:05,566 --> 00:41:06,516 You can have better. 1056 00:41:06,583 --> 00:41:09,516 You can, you can, there, it can be so much greater. 1057 00:41:09,766 --> 00:41:11,199 They're just saying this to control you. 1058 00:41:11,266 --> 00:41:11,983 Yeah, yeah. 1059 00:41:12,050 --> 00:41:13,416 Hey, does that sound familiar? 1060 00:41:13,483 --> 00:41:14,616 I think I've heard that one. 1061 00:41:14,683 --> 00:41:16,650 Can we play this podcast for him when we're there? 1062 00:41:16,733 --> 00:41:17,566 Because we're going to be there. 1063 00:41:17,633 --> 00:41:18,949 Yeah, yeah, we will be. 1064 00:41:19,016 --> 00:41:19,783 We will be. 1065 00:41:19,849 --> 00:41:20,449 Absolutely. 1066 00:41:20,516 --> 00:41:21,533 Absolutely. 1067 00:41:21,533 --> 00:41:22,300 Yeah. 1068 00:41:22,366 --> 00:41:25,366 And we'll probably be screaming at him like, hey, hey, dummy. 1069 00:41:25,433 --> 00:41:27,583 Don't be screwed up, be stupid. 1070 00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:28,116 Yeah, yeah. 1071 00:41:28,250 --> 00:41:29,150 You don't understand. 1072 00:41:29,216 --> 00:41:29,933 Here, go. 1073 00:41:29,933 --> 00:41:31,133 Here, we got recordings. 1074 00:41:31,183 --> 00:41:31,416 Listen. 1075 00:41:31,483 --> 00:41:32,550 This was us before. 1076 00:41:32,633 --> 00:41:34,483 I mean, this is the word of God. 1077 00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:36,466 you see what's going to happen here, you know? 1078 00:41:36,533 --> 00:41:37,900 And yeah. 1079 00:41:37,966 --> 00:41:39,283 But they'll still be deceived. 1080 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:42,283 A lot of them will be, but... 1081 00:41:42,283 --> 00:41:42,883 And it's awful. 1082 00:41:42,949 --> 00:41:46,783 It's all it's terrible and it's it's it's heartbreaking. 1083 00:41:46,849 --> 00:41:48,283 But this is the end of it right here. 1084 00:41:48,349 --> 00:41:49,783 And this is the end of Satan. 1085 00:41:49,849 --> 00:41:50,500 You know? 1086 00:41:50,566 --> 00:41:51,766 Yeah, game is over. 1087 00:41:51,883 --> 00:41:54,633 And like you say, it's it's perfect justice. 1088 00:41:54,716 --> 00:41:57,949 It's perfect love and mercy meeting perfect justice 1089 00:41:57,949 --> 00:42:00,816 and the 2 things balance and they balance perfectly. 1090 00:42:00,883 --> 00:42:01,483 Yeah. 1091 00:42:01,483 --> 00:42:02,433 Because that's God. 1092 00:42:02,516 --> 00:42:04,433 That's right. 1093 00:42:04,483 --> 00:42:05,800 First 11? 1094 00:42:05,866 --> 00:42:06,166 Yeah. 1095 00:42:06,233 --> 00:42:09,466 Uh, and I saw a great white throne and 1096 00:42:09,466 --> 00:42:13,300 him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, 1097 00:42:13,316 --> 00:42:14,866 and there was found no place for them. 1098 00:42:14,933 --> 00:42:17,750 And we read on, hear me, dad. 1099 00:42:17,816 --> 00:42:18,650 Whatever you want do. 1100 00:42:18,716 --> 00:42:20,150 Are you going to stop right there? 1101 00:42:20,216 --> 00:42:23,750 Um, And 1102 00:42:23,750 --> 00:42:27,816 I saw the dead, small and great stand before God, and the books were open. 1103 00:42:27,883 --> 00:42:30,933 Another book was open, and which is the book of life, and the 1104 00:42:30,949 --> 00:42:35,199 dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 1105 00:42:35,266 --> 00:42:38,383 And the sea gave up the dead, which were in it, 1106 00:42:38,383 --> 00:42:41,550 and death and hell delivered up the dead, which were in them, 1107 00:42:41,566 --> 00:42:44,083 and they were judged, every man according to their works. 1108 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:45,400 I'm going to stop right there for just a minute. 1109 00:42:45,533 --> 00:42:48,533 Um, So this 1110 00:42:48,533 --> 00:42:51,699 is the judgment of the lost, that uh, chapter 21 1111 00:42:51,716 --> 00:42:54,949 tells us of a a new heaven and a new earth, 1112 00:42:54,949 --> 00:42:57,583 and this is this is most likely the reason. 1113 00:42:57,650 --> 00:42:59,383 This judgment right here. 1114 00:42:59,449 --> 00:43:02,866 going to be, uh, it's going to be cataclysmic. 1115 00:43:02,933 --> 00:43:06,400 It's going to be just a, 1116 00:43:06,416 --> 00:43:07,483 that's going to be crazy. 1117 00:43:07,550 --> 00:43:08,866 Yeah, right there in verse 11. 1118 00:43:09,116 --> 00:43:12,650 from whose presence earth and heaven fled away? 1119 00:43:12,716 --> 00:43:13,483 Right, right. 1120 00:43:13,550 --> 00:43:13,716 Yeah. 1121 00:43:13,783 --> 00:43:15,333 That's power, right? 1122 00:43:15,416 --> 00:43:16,066 That's like power. 1123 00:43:16,133 --> 00:43:18,050 And correct me from Rome. 1124 00:43:18,116 --> 00:43:19,183 Just Jesus on that throne. 1125 00:43:19,250 --> 00:43:20,616 Yes, absolutely. 1126 00:43:20,683 --> 00:43:23,916 Because he says John chapter 5, he says, in 1127 00:43:23,933 --> 00:43:27,650 verse 22, for not even the father judges anyone, but he has given all judges. 1128 00:43:27,650 --> 00:43:28,000 Absolutely. 1129 00:43:28,016 --> 00:43:29,566 100% Jesus here. 1130 00:43:29,633 --> 00:43:30,099 Yeah. 1131 00:43:30,166 --> 00:43:31,666 And heaven and earth fled away from Jesus. 1132 00:43:31,733 --> 00:43:35,383 And by the way, that is that is one thing that 1133 00:43:35,383 --> 00:43:38,383 I think we have to remember when we talk 1134 00:43:38,383 --> 00:43:42,150 about this because it's one of those things that a statement 1135 00:43:42,166 --> 00:43:45,166 that we make all the time is that we talk about Jesus as though 1136 00:43:45,166 --> 00:43:47,133 he is our lawyer, right? 1137 00:43:47,216 --> 00:43:50,083 Oh, we're going to go stand before God and be judged? 1138 00:43:50,150 --> 00:43:53,150 No, we're standing before the one that we accepted. 1139 00:43:53,216 --> 00:43:53,866 Yeah. 1140 00:43:53,866 --> 00:43:57,216 There is the judgment is coming from our savior. 1141 00:43:57,283 --> 00:43:58,183 Yeah, yeah. 1142 00:43:58,250 --> 00:44:00,400 He, there is no question. 1143 00:44:00,466 --> 00:44:02,800 There is no argument taking place here. 1144 00:44:02,866 --> 00:44:05,383 We are standing in front of Christ. 1145 00:44:05,449 --> 00:44:08,500 He is the one on the throne doing the judging and saying, 1146 00:44:08,516 --> 00:44:09,766 you accepted me. 1147 00:44:09,833 --> 00:44:10,666 You rejected it. 1148 00:44:10,783 --> 00:44:13,783 It's a stark difference from the 2000-year-old 1149 00:44:13,783 --> 00:44:16,233 hippie wearing sales and saying cool things. 1150 00:44:16,316 --> 00:44:17,216 Yeah, yeah. 1151 00:44:17,266 --> 00:44:19,833 This is the judge that heaven and earth fled away from them. 1152 00:44:19,916 --> 00:44:21,883 Yeah, he's this is not Mr. holiness. 1153 00:44:21,949 --> 00:44:25,066 Yeah, it's not Mr. Council walking into the room to defend you anymore. 1154 00:44:25,133 --> 00:44:25,733 No, no. 1155 00:44:25,783 --> 00:44:28,233 You know, there's there's no defense for these. 1156 00:44:28,316 --> 00:44:31,366 I mean, this is this is 1157 00:44:31,366 --> 00:44:32,616 the other resurrection, right? 1158 00:44:32,683 --> 00:44:33,933 This is another resurrection here. 1159 00:44:34,016 --> 00:44:35,750 The resurrection of the lost. 1160 00:44:35,816 --> 00:44:37,966 And the sea gives up its dead, right? 1161 00:44:38,033 --> 00:44:41,633 And death and hell, give up their dead. 1162 00:44:41,683 --> 00:44:45,150 So you've got you've got just 1163 00:44:45,166 --> 00:44:46,233 like our resurrection. 1164 00:44:46,316 --> 00:44:50,449 So right now, if you die, your 1165 00:44:50,449 --> 00:44:53,500 soul goes to heaven to be absent from the bodies to be present with the Lord. 1166 00:44:53,566 --> 00:44:56,616 So if you were to die right now, draw your last breath, your soul's 1167 00:44:56,633 --> 00:44:59,633 going to heaven, your body's buried in the ground, when the 1168 00:44:59,633 --> 00:45:02,750 rapture takes place, when the trumpet sounds, your 1169 00:45:02,750 --> 00:45:05,750 soul and your body will meet at that 1170 00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:08,983 point in time, you'll meet Jesus in the air and and 1171 00:45:08,983 --> 00:45:10,349 you'll have a new body. 1172 00:45:10,433 --> 00:45:13,666 It'll be a, it'll be a reformed, a brand 1173 00:45:13,666 --> 00:45:16,833 new body, but that's what, that's when the grays bust forth. 1174 00:45:16,966 --> 00:45:21,099 Same thing's happening here, except it's gonna be not a good thing, right? 1175 00:45:21,166 --> 00:45:23,016 The sea gives up its death. 1176 00:45:23,083 --> 00:45:24,699 Death and hell gives up the dead. 1177 00:45:24,716 --> 00:45:28,016 Because when you die right now, you're going to that to 1178 00:45:28,016 --> 00:45:31,250 that other side, that Haites, that that lake 1179 00:45:31,250 --> 00:45:34,599 or that, that, that hell, uh, that what 1180 00:45:34,616 --> 00:45:37,783 we call hell now, and and your soul 1181 00:45:37,783 --> 00:45:40,050 goes there, your body's in the ground. 1182 00:45:40,133 --> 00:45:43,483 Well, here in these verses, we read that 1183 00:45:43,483 --> 00:45:46,483 that hell gives up its dead and the sea gives 1184 00:45:46,483 --> 00:45:50,316 up its dead and what happens, your body and your soul comes together. 1185 00:45:50,383 --> 00:45:52,650 So you're going to be standing, right? 1186 00:45:52,733 --> 00:45:56,333 I mean, physically standing soul and body. 1187 00:45:56,383 --> 00:45:57,883 And here's the thing. 1188 00:45:57,949 --> 00:46:01,183 You're about to get a body that, that just like ours 1189 00:46:01,183 --> 00:46:05,383 in, in some fashion, that cannot be destroyed. 1190 00:46:05,449 --> 00:46:08,449 It's going to fit, but the problem is it's going to 1191 00:46:08,449 --> 00:46:12,349 fill all the hurt, all the pain, all the suffering, all the heartache, 1192 00:46:12,349 --> 00:46:15,400 all the everything that it could feel, 1193 00:46:15,416 --> 00:46:16,733 it's going to fill those things. 1194 00:46:16,783 --> 00:46:20,016 Uh, and and they're about to be cast into 1195 00:46:20,033 --> 00:46:21,533 to the to the lake of fire. 1196 00:46:21,583 --> 00:46:23,550 And none of the joy, none of the peace. 1197 00:46:23,633 --> 00:46:25,300 No, none of the love. 1198 00:46:25,366 --> 00:46:26,016 No hope. 1199 00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:28,116 This is not going to end for you. 1200 00:46:28,183 --> 00:46:30,583 This is going to be forever and ever. 1201 00:46:30,650 --> 00:46:34,483 And so, um, And and 1202 00:46:34,483 --> 00:46:38,316 he bases this, he gets to base this on how good you are, 1203 00:46:38,333 --> 00:46:41,033 but all that is for is just to prove a point, right? 1204 00:46:41,083 --> 00:46:44,500 I mean, okay, so you're standing before me now, 1205 00:46:44,516 --> 00:46:47,633 you have chose, you have chosen to stand before me 1206 00:46:47,633 --> 00:46:50,866 in in all your humanity, 1207 00:46:50,866 --> 00:46:54,466 uh, with all your sin, not 1208 00:46:54,466 --> 00:46:58,116 covered by the blood of Jesus, not covered by his righteousness, 1209 00:46:58,133 --> 00:46:59,683 and you're coming before me. 1210 00:46:59,750 --> 00:47:00,816 And I want you to think. 1211 00:47:00,883 --> 00:47:04,349 Now, when we think about these people right here, we're thinking about we're 1212 00:47:04,366 --> 00:47:07,900 thinking about Hitler's, and we're thinking about child molesters, 1213 00:47:07,916 --> 00:47:10,916 and we're thinking about murderers, we're thinking about all the 1214 00:47:10,916 --> 00:47:13,250 worst, the serial killers, you know? 1215 00:47:13,316 --> 00:47:14,150 No, no, no. 1216 00:47:14,216 --> 00:47:16,133 I mean, yeah, those people are going to be there too. 1217 00:47:16,183 --> 00:47:18,583 No, no doubt, but it's not just those people. 1218 00:47:18,716 --> 00:47:22,250 We're talking about your little elderly neighbor that 1219 00:47:22,250 --> 00:47:25,550 come over and helped you plant your garden and 1220 00:47:25,550 --> 00:47:30,099 and and loved on your kids and helped 1221 00:47:30,116 --> 00:47:33,116 you out, gave you a $1000 when you were uh, 1222 00:47:33,116 --> 00:47:36,233 when you were uh, in a, in a hard time and 1223 00:47:36,233 --> 00:47:38,800 and you needed food and they brought food over to you. 1224 00:47:38,866 --> 00:47:42,516 These are we're talking about, these are good people that are going to be standing there. 1225 00:47:42,583 --> 00:47:46,116 I mean, people who who by moral standards are excellently, 1226 00:47:46,133 --> 00:47:49,133 morally, people, moral people, and they're going to be 1227 00:47:49,133 --> 00:47:52,300 standing there and they're going to be going, huh, 1228 00:47:52,316 --> 00:47:55,316 okay, you know, I don't know that this thought 1229 00:47:55,316 --> 00:47:58,616 process is even going to be in their mind then, but, but 1230 00:47:58,616 --> 00:48:02,033 they have come before Christ and even all the good deeds and 1231 00:48:02,033 --> 00:48:05,333 all the great things that they have done won't be enough because 1232 00:48:05,333 --> 00:48:08,383 they were not covered by the blood of the lamb and their 1233 00:48:08,383 --> 00:48:10,300 name was not written in the lamb's book of life. 1234 00:48:10,366 --> 00:48:10,833 Amen. 1235 00:48:10,916 --> 00:48:13,733 I believe this is exactly what Jesus is talking about in Matthew 7. 1236 00:48:13,783 --> 00:48:16,483 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven. 1237 00:48:16,550 --> 00:48:16,849 Yes. 1238 00:48:16,849 --> 00:48:19,183 He does the will of my father who is in heaven will enter. 1239 00:48:19,250 --> 00:48:22,716 Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy 1240 00:48:22,733 --> 00:48:26,500 in your name and in your name, cast out demons, and in your name, perform many miracles? 1241 00:48:26,566 --> 00:48:29,616 And from the throne, they will declare to them, I never 1242 00:48:29,633 --> 00:48:31,066 knew you, part from me. 1243 00:48:31,133 --> 00:48:31,849 That's right. 1244 00:48:31,849 --> 00:48:32,683 That's right. 1245 00:48:32,750 --> 00:48:33,466 That this right here. 1246 00:48:33,533 --> 00:48:34,550 That's where we're seeing this. 1247 00:48:34,616 --> 00:48:38,333 And again, I mean, Dennis, we're talking about preachers. 1248 00:48:38,383 --> 00:48:38,983 We talking about. 1249 00:48:39,050 --> 00:48:42,166 Yeah, we're talking about deacons. 1250 00:48:42,233 --> 00:48:44,150 We're talking about Sunday school teachers. 1251 00:48:44,216 --> 00:48:47,866 I mean, we're talking about people who lived a lie, is what they done. 1252 00:48:47,933 --> 00:48:49,066 They lived a lie here. 1253 00:48:49,133 --> 00:48:51,050 They never really trusted in Christ. 1254 00:48:51,116 --> 00:48:54,416 They, they, their, their heart was far from. 1255 00:48:54,466 --> 00:48:58,183 Their lips may have proclaimed him, but their heart was far from him. 1256 00:48:58,250 --> 00:49:01,483 And, and here we, here we're going to have this, this, 1257 00:49:01,483 --> 00:49:04,050 this judgment like, hey, you know what? 1258 00:49:04,133 --> 00:49:07,849 You sat there and knew you weren't saved. 1259 00:49:07,916 --> 00:49:10,966 You sat there and never, never done anything about it, 1260 00:49:10,966 --> 00:49:13,966 and now you're going to try to stand before me with all your goodness and all your good 1261 00:49:13,966 --> 00:49:16,183 deeds, and it's not going to do any good. 1262 00:49:16,250 --> 00:49:19,550 And and two, that 1263 00:49:19,550 --> 00:49:22,599 is one of the things that is always... 1264 00:49:22,616 --> 00:49:25,666 Just blown me away about this. 1265 00:49:25,733 --> 00:49:29,800 When he says that, People 1266 00:49:29,816 --> 00:49:32,633 will come saying, but we prophesied for you. 1267 00:49:32,683 --> 00:49:35,083 We cast out devils in your name. 1268 00:49:35,150 --> 00:49:35,916 Big things. 1269 00:49:35,933 --> 00:49:39,233 Do you realize that that means just because you 1270 00:49:39,233 --> 00:49:42,400 see somebody taking part in a miracle and 1271 00:49:42,416 --> 00:49:45,466 doing some big flashy thing doesn't necessarily mean 1272 00:49:45,466 --> 00:49:47,266 they're following God. 1273 00:49:47,383 --> 00:49:50,199 They can say with their mouth. 1274 00:49:50,266 --> 00:49:54,466 I'm doing this for him, but if their heart, if... 1275 00:49:54,583 --> 00:49:57,633 What's what's the phrase that I've 1276 00:49:57,650 --> 00:50:00,816 heard somebody say, God doesn't look at roles, he looks at hearts. 1277 00:50:00,883 --> 00:50:03,933 And Christ here looks at their heart and he says, 1278 00:50:03,949 --> 00:50:06,466 yeah, you're out here saying, I'm doing this for God. 1279 00:50:06,533 --> 00:50:07,666 I'm doing this for Jesus. 1280 00:50:07,733 --> 00:50:10,900 I'm doing this in Jesus' name, but really what you're saying is, 1281 00:50:10,916 --> 00:50:14,449 I want everybody to look at me and see how holy and how, how pious. 1282 00:50:14,516 --> 00:50:15,233 See it, Rod. 1283 00:50:15,283 --> 00:50:17,500 God loves a broken in a contrite heart. 1284 00:50:17,566 --> 00:50:21,166 And I can't imagine anybody in their right mind saying a word in front of you. 1285 00:50:21,233 --> 00:50:23,083 Yeah, that's why I said that's bringing that stuff up. 1286 00:50:24,166 --> 00:50:25,300 arguing with him. 1287 00:50:25,366 --> 00:50:26,083 Yeah, yeah. 1288 00:50:26,150 --> 00:50:26,616 Yeah. 1289 00:50:26,683 --> 00:50:31,300 How bold and how how 1290 00:50:31,316 --> 00:50:33,166 deranged would you have to be to say? 1291 00:50:33,233 --> 00:50:34,250 Well, you're broken. 1292 00:50:34,316 --> 00:50:37,483 I mean, that's the whole point is they're they're completely and totally broken 1293 00:50:37,483 --> 00:50:38,683 and they're they're exactly. 1294 00:50:38,750 --> 00:50:42,949 They're begging for their lives because I honestly believe this 1295 00:50:42,949 --> 00:50:44,016 throne shows up. 1296 00:50:44,083 --> 00:50:46,300 It says the heaven and earth fled from his post. 1297 00:50:46,366 --> 00:50:49,783 I think it's exactly what you're, the, all of it, just something, it's, 1298 00:50:49,783 --> 00:50:50,916 it's, again, that rolling back. 1299 00:50:50,983 --> 00:50:53,916 It's that removal of everything material that we see. 1300 00:50:53,983 --> 00:50:56,383 And all of a sudden we're just floating out here and nothing. 1301 00:50:56,383 --> 00:50:59,500 And you're seeing this and everything's just gone. 1302 00:50:59,566 --> 00:51:01,066 what in the world is going on here? 1303 00:51:01,133 --> 00:51:04,133 And then all of a sudden you see these people that are 1304 00:51:04,133 --> 00:51:07,250 dead start getting up and walking in a line 1305 00:51:07,250 --> 00:51:10,900 up here and he says, okay, let me let me explain the rules to everybody. 1306 00:51:10,966 --> 00:51:13,233 If you send once. 1307 00:51:13,316 --> 00:51:16,666 You're tainted and cannot go 1308 00:51:16,666 --> 00:51:20,083 to what I've got coming next because what coming what's 1309 00:51:20,083 --> 00:51:23,133 coming next is perfect and can have no sin in it. 1310 00:51:23,216 --> 00:51:24,716 And he's going to tell them the rules. 1311 00:51:24,766 --> 00:51:26,866 If you have any sin in you at all. 1312 00:51:26,933 --> 00:51:30,099 And then he's going to sit there and start reading from the book and he's 1313 00:51:30,116 --> 00:51:33,283 going to say, you did this and you did this, and I think, I truly 1314 00:51:33,283 --> 00:51:36,449 believe Jesus will start with all of the good things they did. 1315 00:51:36,533 --> 00:51:38,683 Oh, you fed the poor. 1316 00:51:38,750 --> 00:51:41,800 You went out and gave money to people and you built houses 1317 00:51:41,816 --> 00:51:44,933 for people, but you did it so you could be, people would 1318 00:51:44,933 --> 00:51:48,099 praise you and people would talk about how great and wonderful you were and 1319 00:51:48,116 --> 00:51:50,216 how awesome you were and your pride. 1320 00:51:50,333 --> 00:51:53,500 And you did all of these things and you did all of this, 1321 00:51:53,516 --> 00:51:56,683 but you did it because you were greedy and you were wanting to get more and more 1322 00:51:56,683 --> 00:51:58,116 and more and you didn't do it for me. 1323 00:51:58,133 --> 00:52:01,000 And you didn't do it because you loved me because you never knew me. 1324 00:52:01,066 --> 00:52:04,066 That's the thing, man, is that these people have 1325 00:52:04,066 --> 00:52:07,599 never, we're sinners, we 1326 00:52:07,616 --> 00:52:08,816 sin because we're sinners. 1327 00:52:08,866 --> 00:52:09,400 Exactly. 1328 00:52:09,466 --> 00:52:10,416 We're born with it. 1329 00:52:10,483 --> 00:52:11,016 Yes. 1330 00:52:11,033 --> 00:52:12,400 But we're born into Adam. 1331 00:52:12,466 --> 00:52:13,599 Jesus told Nicodemus. 1332 00:52:13,666 --> 00:52:15,466 You got to be born not enough to be born of water. 1333 00:52:15,533 --> 00:52:17,199 I have to be born of water and the spirit. 1334 00:52:17,266 --> 00:52:18,216 You have to be born again. 1335 00:52:18,283 --> 00:52:20,550 And when that happens, you're born into Christ. 1336 00:52:21,349 --> 00:52:22,250 You're in him. 1337 00:52:22,250 --> 00:52:25,416 In his body, just like his prayer in John 17. 1338 00:52:25,616 --> 00:52:27,583 We're part of him now. 1339 00:52:27,650 --> 00:52:31,666 And that's why, you know, when we die, we go directly to the Lord. 1340 00:52:31,733 --> 00:52:32,150 That's right. 1341 00:52:32,633 --> 00:52:34,250 And somebody that's not in him. 1342 00:52:34,316 --> 00:52:35,816 separate us from him, can you? 1343 00:52:35,866 --> 00:52:37,000 No, yeah, yeah. 1344 00:52:37,066 --> 00:52:40,066 And like you said, if you're not in him, you're separated from him. 1345 00:52:40,133 --> 00:52:43,599 And here's here's the other thing, I want to see here. 1346 00:52:43,616 --> 00:52:47,333 Well, all these people are coming up and the people that we love, 1347 00:52:47,333 --> 00:52:50,566 people that we care about, people that we, you know, 1348 00:52:50,566 --> 00:52:53,683 thought, man, I thought I thought they'd be here with 1349 00:52:53,683 --> 00:52:54,816 us, you know? 1350 00:52:55,550 --> 00:52:58,116 This is going to be like a courtroom setting. 1351 00:52:58,183 --> 00:52:58,900 Yes. 1352 00:52:58,966 --> 00:53:01,300 Except no loggers there, you know. 1353 00:53:01,366 --> 00:53:04,366 But the judge and the judge 1354 00:53:04,366 --> 00:53:06,516 sits on the throne and the judge is Jesus. 1355 00:53:06,533 --> 00:53:09,166 And I think we're going to be spectators in this thing. 1356 00:53:09,233 --> 00:53:10,250 That's going to be our place. 1357 00:53:10,316 --> 00:53:11,333 That's going to be our part. 1358 00:53:11,383 --> 00:53:14,383 And we're going to be looking on this scene of all 1359 00:53:14,383 --> 00:53:16,716 these people lined up or however it may be. 1360 00:53:16,783 --> 00:53:17,316 I don't know. 1361 00:53:17,383 --> 00:53:20,500 But, but we're going to be looking upon this 1362 00:53:20,516 --> 00:53:24,283 thing and we're going to see how many people are going to turn towards us. 1363 00:53:24,349 --> 00:53:27,516 How many people are going to look at Brian and 1364 00:53:27,533 --> 00:53:31,483 say, I mean, you didn't say anything, you know? 1365 00:53:31,550 --> 00:53:34,666 You didn't tell me or you didn't 1366 00:53:34,666 --> 00:53:37,716 tell me enough or you didn't, you know, you 1367 00:53:37,733 --> 00:53:39,099 just kind of let it go. 1368 00:53:39,166 --> 00:53:40,833 You talked about football around me. 1369 00:53:40,916 --> 00:53:42,349 You talked about hunting around me. 1370 00:53:42,416 --> 00:53:46,183 You talked about all the things of the world around me, but you 1371 00:53:46,183 --> 00:53:49,233 didn't, you didn't really tell me that this, this whole thing could happen 1372 00:53:49,250 --> 00:53:52,250 to me one day, and I thought I was a good person, and 1373 00:53:52,250 --> 00:53:53,316 you never said anything about it. 1374 00:53:53,449 --> 00:53:55,000 And how cruel are we? 1375 00:53:55,066 --> 00:53:56,616 How cruel are we to do that? 1376 00:53:56,683 --> 00:53:58,833 And again, I don't know. 1377 00:53:58,916 --> 00:54:02,033 I'm I'm just, you know, this is this is some brynology 1378 00:54:02,033 --> 00:54:04,183 here and I know a lot of people. 1379 00:54:04,250 --> 00:54:05,150 It's speculation. 1380 00:54:05,216 --> 00:54:09,233 I don't know what it's going to look like, but I mean, I think we're going to see it. 1381 00:54:09,283 --> 00:54:13,000 And I think we're gonna, I think we're going to feel the guilt of it. 1382 00:54:13,066 --> 00:54:16,183 I think we're going to feel the shame of it, and I think we're going to feel the 1383 00:54:16,183 --> 00:54:19,483 hopelessness of them, and I'll 1384 00:54:19,483 --> 00:54:22,900 tell you why, because of what we see in the next chapter, 1385 00:54:22,916 --> 00:54:24,766 when every tear is wiped from our eyes. 1386 00:54:24,766 --> 00:54:26,733 There's a reason we're crying. 1387 00:54:26,816 --> 00:54:27,533 There's crying. 1388 00:54:27,583 --> 00:54:31,183 No tears in heaven's not true because there's going to be there's going to be tears. 1389 00:54:31,250 --> 00:54:31,783 Lots of tears. 1390 00:54:31,849 --> 00:54:34,716 And I think it's because of this judgment that we're watching. 1391 00:54:34,783 --> 00:54:37,833 And I think that's why he has to, not only wipe the 1392 00:54:37,849 --> 00:54:41,150 tears from our eyes, but he has to erase our memories, he has to erase 1393 00:54:41,150 --> 00:54:42,949 any thought of those. 1394 00:54:43,016 --> 00:54:46,316 those people who are casting the lake of fire. 1395 00:54:46,366 --> 00:54:49,833 And when that's all over and he wipes 1396 00:54:49,849 --> 00:54:53,316 the tears from her eyes and he makes everything new again, then those 1397 00:54:53,333 --> 00:54:57,233 things will never be thought of again because if they were heaven will not be heaven. 1398 00:54:57,283 --> 00:54:58,233 Yes, exactly. 1399 00:54:58,316 --> 00:55:01,366 And you know, one of the things I love, 1400 00:55:01,366 --> 00:55:04,533 you can you can watch actual court cases 1401 00:55:04,550 --> 00:55:07,666 and stuff online on YouTube, like real courtroom with 1402 00:55:07,666 --> 00:55:10,783 a judge, not the judge Judy, just 1403 00:55:10,783 --> 00:55:12,033 an advocate out there. 1404 00:55:12,116 --> 00:55:13,666 You can watch actual courtroom things. 1405 00:55:13,733 --> 00:55:16,849 And I have gotten to where the 1406 00:55:16,849 --> 00:55:19,966 my, because I watch a fair amount of that because I 1407 00:55:19,966 --> 00:55:23,016 find it very interesting to see, you know, what goes on and how the process 1408 00:55:23,033 --> 00:55:24,233 works and everything. 1409 00:55:24,349 --> 00:55:27,583 The best judges have caused 1410 00:55:27,583 --> 00:55:31,050 me to have a very different picture in my mind of how Christ is speaking 1411 00:55:31,066 --> 00:55:34,066 to people in this situation because, you know, I was always kind of 1412 00:55:34,066 --> 00:55:37,116 raised that it was a very stoic and just, yep, this, this, this, this, this. 1413 00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:40,250 The best judges stand up there and 1414 00:55:40,250 --> 00:55:43,300 when they start, when they're faced with something where they have to do something they 1415 00:55:43,316 --> 00:55:46,066 don't want to do, but the law requires it. 1416 00:55:46,066 --> 00:55:49,483 And you watch these men get up there and they just, they're 1417 00:55:49,483 --> 00:55:52,483 tears in their eyes and they're saying, I don't want to do this, but you 1418 00:55:52,483 --> 00:55:55,533 have forced me and put me in a 1419 00:55:55,550 --> 00:55:57,766 position where I do not have a choice. 1420 00:55:57,766 --> 00:56:01,066 Justice demands that 1421 00:56:01,066 --> 00:56:02,199 I take this action. 1422 00:56:02,266 --> 00:56:05,316 And it may be sending taking somebody away from taking a kid away 1423 00:56:05,333 --> 00:56:08,449 from their parents, maybe be breaking a family up, maybe sending 1424 00:56:08,449 --> 00:56:10,000 somebody to jail or to prisoner. 1425 00:56:10,066 --> 00:56:11,616 Maybe even a death sentence. 1426 00:56:11,683 --> 00:56:12,750 I mean, you don't know. 1427 00:56:12,766 --> 00:56:16,066 The good judges are the ones that they're still affected by it. 1428 00:56:16,133 --> 00:56:18,400 And they tell people, I don't want to do this. 1429 00:56:18,466 --> 00:56:20,683 But we have to. 1430 00:56:20,750 --> 00:56:23,750 And this is Jesus, and my mental image of him 1431 00:56:23,750 --> 00:56:26,750 is now him standing there going, you... 1432 00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:29,266 had every chance. 1433 00:56:29,383 --> 00:56:33,449 I gave you every chance and I didn't just stand and knocked. 1434 00:56:33,533 --> 00:56:36,699 I beat on the door of your heart and I 1435 00:56:36,716 --> 00:56:39,716 yelled and I screamed and I did everything 1436 00:56:39,716 --> 00:56:42,833 to get your attention and I went on a cross and I shed 1437 00:56:42,833 --> 00:56:45,283 my blood for you because I love you. 1438 00:56:45,349 --> 00:56:47,683 And it wasn't enough. 1439 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:50,683 And to you, it wasn't enough. 1440 00:56:50,750 --> 00:56:53,866 And now justice demands. 1441 00:56:53,866 --> 00:56:56,866 That your sins be answered. 1442 00:56:56,933 --> 00:57:00,349 I mean, this does sound like, you know, an individual one-on-one 1443 00:57:00,349 --> 00:57:02,800 kind of thing, you know, one person at a time. 1444 00:57:02,866 --> 00:57:04,783 Absolutely. 1000000000s of people. 1445 00:57:04,849 --> 00:57:07,066 Broad is the way that leads to destruction. 1446 00:57:07,133 --> 00:57:07,483 right. 1447 00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:07,783 Yeah. 1448 00:57:07,849 --> 00:57:09,883 Billions of people since the creation of the world. 1449 00:57:09,949 --> 00:57:13,666 And I mean, we're 1450 00:57:13,666 --> 00:57:15,033 we're talking about eternity here. 1451 00:57:15,166 --> 00:57:18,166 It's going to be over like that 1452 00:57:18,166 --> 00:57:21,216 because there, you know, it's not something 1453 00:57:21,233 --> 00:57:23,333 that time is not really a thing that matters. 1454 00:57:23,333 --> 00:57:24,349 You're already gone. 1455 00:57:24,416 --> 00:57:25,133 You're already dead. 1456 00:57:25,183 --> 00:57:27,033 You're not really bound by it anymore. 1457 00:57:27,116 --> 00:57:30,166 I mean, it's not going to last for 1000000s of years 1458 00:57:30,166 --> 00:57:31,300 that it would take to do that. 1459 00:57:31,366 --> 00:57:33,333 But he died for every single one of these things. 1460 00:57:33,416 --> 00:57:34,183 But it's, yeah. 1461 00:57:34,250 --> 00:57:36,099 Every single soul he died for it. 1462 00:57:36,166 --> 00:57:39,166 And like I say, it's an individual 1463 00:57:39,166 --> 00:57:41,266 thing, one at a time, standing before the throne. 1464 00:57:41,333 --> 00:57:42,283 absolutely. 1465 00:57:42,349 --> 00:57:43,116 Yep. 1466 00:57:43,183 --> 00:57:43,833 Absolutely. 1467 00:57:43,849 --> 00:57:47,150 And here's the other thing that I think people for we 1468 00:57:47,150 --> 00:57:49,116 as Christians don't stress enough to the lost. 1469 00:57:49,183 --> 00:57:52,483 You go before the judge, 1470 00:57:52,483 --> 00:57:54,516 and you're going to have to stand alone. 1471 00:57:54,583 --> 00:57:58,116 Unless you're saved and naked. 1472 00:57:58,183 --> 00:57:58,900 Naked, yes. 1473 00:57:58,966 --> 00:58:02,016 Naked's a good picture of this because nothing's hidden from him. 1474 00:58:02,083 --> 00:58:02,916 That's right. 1475 00:58:02,983 --> 00:58:03,633 Nothing in your heart. 1476 00:58:03,716 --> 00:58:04,666 is hidden. 1477 00:58:04,733 --> 00:58:05,333 Absolutely. 1478 00:58:05,333 --> 00:58:08,333 And the difference between the lost and the saved is we go 1479 00:58:08,333 --> 00:58:11,449 before the judge and our savior is the judge. 1480 00:58:11,449 --> 00:58:14,449 And what he's judging us for is very different. 1481 00:58:14,516 --> 00:58:15,716 Yeah, yeah. 1482 00:58:15,766 --> 00:58:18,816 not about salvation because it's not about whether or not we we 1483 00:58:18,833 --> 00:58:20,750 are his because we already are. 1484 00:58:20,816 --> 00:58:22,183 Now it's about what do we do? 1485 00:58:22,250 --> 00:58:25,250 Now, hey, everybody talk, oh, 1486 00:58:25,250 --> 00:58:26,449 well, I don't have to worry about the works. 1487 00:58:26,516 --> 00:58:28,483 Guess what? 1488 00:58:28,550 --> 00:58:29,916 He's gonna have a conversation with you about it. 1489 00:58:29,983 --> 00:58:30,583 Oh, absolutely. 1490 00:58:30,716 --> 00:58:33,416 works don't save you, but works, we'll give you a place in heaven. 1491 00:58:33,466 --> 00:58:34,300 Absolutely. 1492 00:58:34,366 --> 00:58:37,366 You know, I mean, it'll give you a crown. 1493 00:58:37,433 --> 00:58:40,433 It'll give you something to give back to 1494 00:58:40,433 --> 00:58:41,500 him, to cast at his feet. 1495 00:58:41,566 --> 00:58:43,666 And you really love him and trust him. 1496 00:58:43,733 --> 00:58:44,566 Yeah, right. 1497 00:58:44,633 --> 00:58:46,366 If you love him and trust him, you'll do what he says. 1498 00:58:46,483 --> 00:58:46,949 That's right 1499 00:58:47,083 --> 00:58:51,099 It's a whole different dynamic than a slave to a master. 1500 00:58:51,166 --> 00:58:54,766 It's a child to a father that you don't want to disappoint. 1501 00:58:54,833 --> 00:58:56,199 You want to love and you want to. 1502 00:58:56,266 --> 00:58:59,733 I remember when Ryan was little, you know, 4 years old, 5 years old. 1503 00:58:59,816 --> 00:59:00,883 He wanted to be just like his daddy. 1504 00:59:00,949 --> 00:59:02,316 you know, 0 my god, please no. 1505 00:59:02,383 --> 00:59:05,016 But that's the way little boys are. 1506 00:59:05,083 --> 00:59:06,333 It'll be like daddy. 1507 00:59:06,416 --> 00:59:09,883 And that's the same attitude we need to head toward our father in heaven. 1508 00:59:09,949 --> 00:59:10,966 Exactly. 1509 00:59:11,033 --> 00:59:11,633 absolutely. 1510 00:59:11,683 --> 00:59:12,633 Be just like our daddy. 1511 00:59:12,716 --> 00:59:13,433 Absolutely. 1512 00:59:13,550 --> 00:59:15,766 It's in us, isn't it, to be like that, to do that? 1513 00:59:15,833 --> 00:59:16,183 Yeah. 1514 00:59:16,250 --> 00:59:19,250 We could get into a whole other thing 1515 00:59:19,250 --> 00:59:21,516 there, fathers, you know, but anyway. 1516 00:59:21,583 --> 00:59:21,933 Yeah. 1517 00:59:21,949 --> 00:59:27,650 So, uh, read those last two. 1518 00:59:27,716 --> 00:59:28,666 Yeah, yeah. 1519 00:59:28,733 --> 00:59:32,333 Then death in Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. 1520 00:59:32,383 --> 00:59:34,650 This is the 2nd death, the lake of fire. 1521 00:59:34,733 --> 00:59:37,966 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life. 1522 00:59:38,033 --> 00:59:40,133 He was thrown into the lake of fire. 1523 00:59:40,183 --> 00:59:45,583 Mm, 1524 00:59:45,583 --> 00:59:46,783 that's somber stuff, isn't it? 1525 00:59:46,849 --> 00:59:50,016 And oh, you know, I don't 1526 00:59:50,033 --> 00:59:53,633 know why this just came to mind, but, you know, people, you know, in 1527 00:59:53,633 --> 00:59:56,633 the verse before that, I didn't say anything about it, and the sea gave up the day it 1528 00:59:56,633 --> 00:59:59,683 was for in it, you know, and people worry about being buried properly 1529 00:59:59,683 --> 01:00:01,000 and all this other stuff. 1530 01:00:01,066 --> 01:00:04,599 And people don't worry about that. 1531 01:00:04,666 --> 01:00:08,683 Imagine if you lived a 1000 years ago and you were buried. 1532 01:00:08,750 --> 01:00:10,250 There ain't nothing left. 1533 01:00:10,366 --> 01:00:13,000 God's going to come up the near. 1534 01:00:13,066 --> 01:00:16,416 The dust has already been at this point. 1535 01:00:16,483 --> 01:00:17,616 worry about living properly. 1536 01:00:17,683 --> 01:00:19,000 instead of dying properly. 1537 01:00:19,066 --> 01:00:20,616 Right. and live in Christ. 1538 01:00:20,683 --> 01:00:21,633 Be alive in Christ. 1539 01:00:21,716 --> 01:00:22,550 That's right. 1540 01:00:22,550 --> 01:00:23,316 That's right. 1541 01:00:23,383 --> 01:00:26,083 But death in Hades, there's no more hell. 1542 01:00:26,150 --> 01:00:27,216 no death. 1543 01:00:27,283 --> 01:00:29,250 Death has died. 1544 01:00:29,333 --> 01:00:30,099 That's right. 1545 01:00:30,166 --> 01:00:30,516 Amen. 1546 01:00:30,583 --> 01:00:31,233 That's right. 1547 01:00:31,316 --> 01:00:31,783 Amen. 1548 01:00:31,783 --> 01:00:32,133 Amen. 1549 01:00:32,266 --> 01:00:34,900 Who's killed death? 1550 01:00:34,966 --> 01:00:37,483 And here's something. 1551 01:00:37,550 --> 01:00:40,599 Here's something that I know we talked about this before, but 1552 01:00:40,616 --> 01:00:44,750 just to, I want us to be clear on on what's going on here. 1553 01:00:44,816 --> 01:00:48,283 I mean, uh, death, death and hell, 1554 01:00:48,283 --> 01:00:51,333 uh, hell as that place where if you 1555 01:00:51,349 --> 01:00:52,900 died right now, that's where you would go. 1556 01:00:52,966 --> 01:00:55,000 If you're not in Christ, if you're not in Christ. 1557 01:00:55,066 --> 01:00:56,500 Right, if you're not in Christ. 1558 01:00:56,633 --> 01:00:59,750 So this is, 1559 01:00:59,750 --> 01:01:03,050 but this is the final destination of all who have not accepted 1560 01:01:03,050 --> 01:01:06,216 Christ as Savior and Lord, this lake of fire, but 1561 01:01:06,233 --> 01:01:09,233 again, I want to look at the difference between hell and the lake 1562 01:01:09,233 --> 01:01:11,449 of fire and what's taking place in both of them. 1563 01:01:11,516 --> 01:01:14,816 And I think you got to go to Luke 16 to see 1564 01:01:14,816 --> 01:01:15,949 it and see that story. 1565 01:01:16,016 --> 01:01:18,833 Verse 19 starts in verse 19. 1566 01:01:19,016 --> 01:01:22,250 says there was a certain rich man, which was closed in purple and 1567 01:01:22,250 --> 01:01:23,983 finely and then fared sumptuously. 1568 01:01:24,050 --> 01:01:25,550 Every day. 1569 01:01:25,616 --> 01:01:28,666 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at 1570 01:01:28,666 --> 01:01:31,716 his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed 1571 01:01:31,733 --> 01:01:34,133 with the crumbs, which fell from the rich man's table. 1572 01:01:34,183 --> 01:01:37,183 Moreover, the dogs came and licked his swords, and it 1573 01:01:37,183 --> 01:01:40,416 came to pass, and the beggar died, and he was carried by the angels into 1574 01:01:40,433 --> 01:01:41,500 Abraham's bosom. 1575 01:01:41,566 --> 01:01:44,500 The rich man also died, and was buried. 1576 01:01:44,566 --> 01:01:48,166 When we see this contrast here, they both die, one serving the Lord, one knot. 1577 01:01:48,416 --> 01:01:52,250 And, and, uh, And 1578 01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:56,266 it says, and he was carried by the angels in Abraham's buds, and the rich man also died and was buried. 1579 01:01:56,383 --> 01:01:58,783 And in hell, talking about the rich man. 1580 01:01:58,849 --> 01:02:02,016 He lifted up his eyes, being in torment. 1581 01:02:02,150 --> 01:02:05,266 So this place that you'll go to now, 1582 01:02:05,266 --> 01:02:08,500 if you die without Christ, is 1583 01:02:08,516 --> 01:02:12,349 fire, brimstone, hell, torment. 1584 01:02:12,416 --> 01:02:15,466 And but it says he was able to see. 1585 01:02:15,533 --> 01:02:18,650 One of the things that I 1586 01:02:18,650 --> 01:02:21,766 don't know that there won't be a temporary type body 1587 01:02:21,766 --> 01:02:24,883 even right now if he died because it says he 1588 01:02:24,883 --> 01:02:28,050 looked up, you know, it shows him looking over into 1589 01:02:28,066 --> 01:02:29,433 this other side of this. 1590 01:02:29,516 --> 01:02:31,849 We can't really picture what a spirit looks like in that round. 1591 01:02:31,916 --> 01:02:32,516 I don't, yeah. 1592 01:02:32,566 --> 01:02:33,883 So I don't know. 1593 01:02:33,949 --> 01:02:37,666 You know, some say it could be a temporary type body until they get that body at the Great White Throne. 1594 01:02:37,733 --> 01:02:39,466 It's kind of the same with the martyrs, right? 1595 01:02:39,533 --> 01:02:40,066 Exactly. 1596 01:02:40,133 --> 01:02:41,033 Exactly. 1597 01:02:41,083 --> 01:02:41,433 Yes. 1598 01:02:41,516 --> 01:02:44,633 Yeah, because they're looking and they're seeing and you know, 1599 01:02:44,633 --> 01:02:47,449 it's it's using that type of description for them. 1600 01:02:47,516 --> 01:02:51,050 But it says he cried and said, Father Abraham, 1601 01:02:51,050 --> 01:02:54,166 have mercy on me and send Lazarus that I may dip the 1602 01:02:54,166 --> 01:02:57,166 tip of his finger in the water and cool my tongue, for I 1603 01:02:57,166 --> 01:02:58,483 am tormented in this flame. 1604 01:02:58,550 --> 01:02:59,916 Again, there's a flame, right? 1605 01:02:59,983 --> 01:03:03,150 But Abraham said, son, remember that thou 1606 01:03:03,166 --> 01:03:06,466 in thy lifetime receivest thy good things, 1607 01:03:06,466 --> 01:03:08,983 and likewise, Lazarus evil things. 1608 01:03:09,050 --> 01:03:11,383 But now he is comforted and now are tormented. 1609 01:03:11,449 --> 01:03:14,500 And besides all this, between us and 1610 01:03:14,516 --> 01:03:17,516 you, there's a great goldfish, so that they, which 1611 01:03:17,516 --> 01:03:21,533 would pass from hence to you cannot, so they cannot pass, pass. 1612 01:03:21,583 --> 01:03:25,233 Neither can they pass to us, that that would come from thence. 1613 01:03:25,316 --> 01:03:28,433 Then he said, I pray thee, 1614 01:03:28,433 --> 01:03:32,083 therefore, Father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house. 1615 01:03:32,150 --> 01:03:35,199 This is the rich man saying, just 1616 01:03:35,216 --> 01:03:36,349 go to my father's house. 1617 01:03:36,416 --> 01:03:39,949 I got 5 brothers up there and just 1618 01:03:39,949 --> 01:03:43,366 testify to them and lest 1619 01:03:43,366 --> 01:03:45,699 they also come into this place of torment. 1620 01:03:45,766 --> 01:03:46,599 I don't want my brothers. 1621 01:03:46,666 --> 01:03:49,300 There's compassion all of a sudden, right? 1622 01:03:49,366 --> 01:03:50,983 There's compassion there on him. 1623 01:03:51,050 --> 01:03:55,116 Abraham saith unto him, they have Moses and the prophets. 1624 01:03:55,183 --> 01:03:55,949 Let them hear them. 1625 01:03:56,033 --> 01:03:59,383 And he said, nay, Father Abraham, but if one 1626 01:03:59,383 --> 01:04:02,250 went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 1627 01:04:02,266 --> 01:04:05,733 And he said unto them, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, 1628 01:04:05,750 --> 01:04:09,516 neither would they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead, right? 1629 01:04:09,583 --> 01:04:11,683 Jesus. prophesying something, Mary. 1630 01:04:11,750 --> 01:04:12,400 Absolutely. 1631 01:04:12,416 --> 01:04:13,183 Absolutely. 1632 01:04:13,183 --> 01:04:16,650 So, so we got we got these 2 places. 1633 01:04:16,733 --> 01:04:18,583 We got to golf in between the 2 places. 1634 01:04:18,650 --> 01:04:22,300 We've got a, um, We've got hell on one side. 1635 01:04:22,366 --> 01:04:25,783 We've got paradise on the other side, and until Christ 1636 01:04:25,783 --> 01:04:28,833 died, paradise was full of tribulate, 1637 01:04:28,849 --> 01:04:32,383 I mean, of Old Testament saints, those who died before Christ, 1638 01:04:32,383 --> 01:04:33,583 they would go to paradise. 1639 01:04:33,716 --> 01:04:36,766 Those who died without Christ or 1640 01:04:36,766 --> 01:04:39,166 without faith in the coming of Christ. 1641 01:04:39,233 --> 01:04:42,400 And now those who die without accepting 1642 01:04:42,416 --> 01:04:45,349 what Christ has done, they still go to hell. 1643 01:04:45,416 --> 01:04:48,416 Now, skip over to 1644 01:04:48,416 --> 01:04:51,466 Ephesians chapter 4, verse 8 1645 01:04:51,466 --> 01:04:54,033 through 10, and let's look at let's look at this. 1646 01:04:54,116 --> 01:04:57,116 Wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, 1647 01:04:57,116 --> 01:05:00,533 this is talking about Jesus, he led captivity captive. 1648 01:05:00,583 --> 01:05:04,233 So in other words, and it says he gave gifts unto men, 1649 01:05:04,250 --> 01:05:07,366 now that he ascended, but it was also that he descended 1st 1650 01:05:07,366 --> 01:05:08,866 into the lower parts of the earth. 1651 01:05:08,933 --> 01:05:11,933 He that descended is also the same that ascended up 1652 01:05:11,933 --> 01:05:14,383 far above the heavens that he might fill all things. 1653 01:05:14,449 --> 01:05:17,566 So wherever this place exists, right, if 1654 01:05:17,566 --> 01:05:20,500 it's under the earth or whether it exists, there's 2 parts to it. 1655 01:05:20,566 --> 01:05:23,616 There's hell, there's paradise, and when Christ died, 1656 01:05:23,633 --> 01:05:26,683 this is what Ephesians 4, chapter uh, uh, chapter 1657 01:05:26,683 --> 01:05:29,849 4, verse 8 through 10 is talking about, when Christ died, 1658 01:05:29,866 --> 01:05:32,133 he he descended first. 1659 01:05:32,216 --> 01:05:33,949 He went into those parts. 1660 01:05:34,016 --> 01:05:37,733 He emptied out paradise and he took those souls 1661 01:05:37,733 --> 01:05:41,383 with him up into heaven so that they could be with him. 1662 01:05:41,449 --> 01:05:43,599 But hell's still there, right? 1663 01:05:43,666 --> 01:05:46,666 There is no paradise now because we've already talked about 1664 01:05:46,666 --> 01:05:49,366 to be absent from the body is to be present for the Lord. 1665 01:05:49,433 --> 01:05:52,133 So those are the 2 things that we want to see. 1666 01:05:52,183 --> 01:05:53,983 He led captivity captive. 1667 01:05:54,050 --> 01:05:56,316 He brought the souls of the Old Testament saints with him. 1668 01:05:56,449 --> 01:05:59,449 So he emptied out paradise, but he'll leave 1669 01:05:59,449 --> 01:06:02,750 the lost of all ages in the place that we call hell, 1670 01:06:02,750 --> 01:06:05,800 the place of torment where they will not be brought out until 1671 01:06:05,816 --> 01:06:09,766 the great white throne until we see here in chapter 20. 1672 01:06:10,016 --> 01:06:12,116 After they're judged, 1673 01:06:12,166 --> 01:06:14,199 They along with hell. 1674 01:06:14,266 --> 01:06:17,566 Now, hell, again, just like paradise 1675 01:06:17,566 --> 01:06:21,816 was temporary for us, hell is temporary for the loss that are dying now. 1676 01:06:21,883 --> 01:06:22,416 Yeah. 1677 01:06:22,433 --> 01:06:25,966 And it says that not only are they cast 1678 01:06:25,966 --> 01:06:29,566 in the lake of fire, but hell itself is cast in the lake of fire. 1679 01:06:29,633 --> 01:06:32,800 So, I mean, this 1680 01:06:32,816 --> 01:06:36,349 is to think about how intense this is. 1681 01:06:36,416 --> 01:06:40,183 I mean, to think about the lake of fire is even worse than 1682 01:06:40,183 --> 01:06:43,833 hell itself, and then hell is like, okay, which one's worse? 1683 01:06:43,916 --> 01:06:46,066 Well, I don't know because they're both there now, right? 1684 01:06:46,133 --> 01:06:49,550 I mean, so we know that this final 1685 01:06:49,550 --> 01:06:52,483 destination is going to be worse than even hell was. 1686 01:06:52,550 --> 01:06:55,900 Um, so, so yeah, we 1687 01:06:55,916 --> 01:06:59,866 need to understand that when you die right now, we don't go to paradise. 1688 01:06:59,933 --> 01:07:02,933 When he told uh, the thief on the cross when he said 1689 01:07:02,933 --> 01:07:04,733 today you'll be with me in paradise. 1690 01:07:04,783 --> 01:07:06,150 He was true, but he took him with him. 1691 01:07:06,233 --> 01:07:08,800 And he emptied it out and he took him back. 1692 01:07:08,866 --> 01:07:10,666 Rock, he took him to heaven with him. 1693 01:07:10,733 --> 01:07:12,283 to sit at the right hand of the father. 1694 01:07:12,349 --> 01:07:16,366 So, He's making all things new, man. 1695 01:07:16,433 --> 01:07:19,483 He is, he is, and another school of 1696 01:07:19,483 --> 01:07:24,400 thought here, or not a different school of thought here, but I 1697 01:07:24,416 --> 01:07:27,533 don't know exactly when these Old Testament saints 1698 01:07:27,533 --> 01:07:30,583 are going to get a body, you 1699 01:07:30,583 --> 01:07:31,949 know, or when that takes place. 1700 01:07:32,033 --> 01:07:35,199 It doesn't really say, but a lot of scholars say that the Old Testament saints 1701 01:07:35,216 --> 01:07:39,283 bodies will not be resurrected until the millennium begins. 1702 01:07:39,349 --> 01:07:42,400 I don't, you know, I don't, I don't know. 1703 01:07:42,466 --> 01:07:45,516 Which also, uh, which will also be when the 1704 01:07:45,533 --> 01:07:48,699 bodies of tribulation saints that died would get their body. 1705 01:07:48,766 --> 01:07:51,933 So, uh, a lot a lot of a lot of scholars 1706 01:07:51,949 --> 01:07:55,599 think it when the when the 1000 year millennial uh, 1707 01:07:55,616 --> 01:07:58,783 rain begins that Christ resurrects those who 1708 01:07:58,783 --> 01:08:01,783 are, those bodies and those Old Testament saints 1709 01:08:01,783 --> 01:08:04,783 and souls come together and those tribulation saints and 1710 01:08:04,783 --> 01:08:06,633 uh, bodies and souls come together. 1711 01:08:06,716 --> 01:08:07,783 I don't know. 1712 01:08:07,849 --> 01:08:09,216 Yeah, it doesn't really say it. 1713 01:08:09,283 --> 01:08:09,750 No, no. 1714 01:08:09,833 --> 01:08:12,833 And you can probably make a case too, that they go with 1715 01:08:12,833 --> 01:08:13,966 us in rapture, right? 1716 01:08:14,033 --> 01:08:15,583 It may not just be the church. 1717 01:08:15,716 --> 01:08:17,149 Yeah, could be. 1718 01:08:17,216 --> 01:08:18,416 Could be. 1719 01:08:18,466 --> 01:08:18,699 Yeah. 1720 01:08:18,766 --> 01:08:18,933 Yeah. 1721 01:08:19,016 --> 01:08:20,149 They could make their bodies. 1722 01:08:20,216 --> 01:08:23,449 So, so, but nevertheless, all the saved 1723 01:08:23,449 --> 01:08:26,683 of all ages are part of the 1st resurrection besides Christ 1724 01:08:26,683 --> 01:08:27,699 reservation, right? 1725 01:08:27,766 --> 01:08:29,083 The 1st resurrection of us. 1726 01:08:29,216 --> 01:08:29,866
