1
00:01:13,283 --> 00:01:15,700
And welcome back this week.

2
00:01:15,766 --> 00:01:17,266
Man, it's good to be back.

3
00:01:17,333 --> 00:01:19,433
We've had a good week, I think.

4
00:01:19,483 --> 00:01:22,599
All last week and things going great this

5
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:26,016
 week and we're about to have vacation Bible school next week.

6
00:01:26,083 --> 00:01:28,900
That's next week.

7
00:01:28,966 --> 00:01:32,083
It's really going to happen.

8
00:01:32,150 --> 00:01:33,766
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

9
00:01:33,833 --> 00:01:34,900
Unless the Lord comes.

10
00:01:34,966 --> 00:01:35,799
Yeah, that's right.

11
00:01:35,866 --> 00:01:39,033
So we will, as a side note

12
00:01:39,049 --> 00:01:42,166
 to that, we won't be having a show next week because we'll be wrangling

13
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:46,183
 kids Monday night and Tuesday and Wednesday.

14
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:49,299
So we do our

15
00:01:49,299 --> 00:01:51,516
 kickoff on Sunday, so I'm excited about that.

16
00:01:51,583 --> 00:01:53,316
And brother Dennis.

17
00:01:53,383 --> 00:01:54,450
How's your week going?

18
00:01:54,533 --> 00:01:57,766
So far, so good, man, but it's, you know, we got a ways to go.

19
00:01:57,833 --> 00:02:00,533
It only just started.

20
00:02:00,583 --> 00:02:02,200
We're just getting cranky.

21
00:02:02,266 --> 00:02:02,799
No, that's good.

22
00:02:02,866 --> 00:02:03,216
It's good.

23
00:02:03,283 --> 00:02:06,933
Had a good weekend and just blessed.

24
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,066
Yeah, fantastic.

25
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:10,116
How about yours, brother Brian?

26
00:02:10,183 --> 00:02:11,199
Great, man.

27
00:02:11,266 --> 00:02:12,166
It's been going good.

28
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:15,533
Still, I'm still mentioning and chewing

29
00:02:15,533 --> 00:02:19,300
 on Dennis's message from last night in Romans being up.

30
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:20,966
I enjoyed it.

31
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:21,766
I enjoyed it.

32
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:22,300
I loved it.

33
00:02:22,366 --> 00:02:22,599
Yeah.

34
00:02:22,666 --> 00:02:24,216
I love to.

35
00:02:24,283 --> 00:02:27,816
I love to get fed, you know, and just

36
00:02:27,833 --> 00:02:29,566
 sit there and listen.

37
00:02:29,633 --> 00:02:30,833
And it was good stuff last night.

38
00:02:30,883 --> 00:02:32,800
I didn't get to be here last night.

39
00:02:32,866 --> 00:02:34,900
What was Roman's Romans?

40
00:02:34,966 --> 00:02:36,933
Oh, you did you just roll?

41
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,949
No, to me, to me, Romans

42
00:02:40,966 --> 00:02:44,383
 is the pinnacle of the Bible, except for maybe what we're going through with Revelation

43
00:02:44,383 --> 00:02:47,616
 right now because Romans is the gospel according to Paul.

44
00:02:47,683 --> 00:02:51,750
He writes down how the Old Testament meets the gospels and explains it.

45
00:02:51,833 --> 00:02:56,566
And you can chew on that book for a lifetime and still dig up gold.

46
00:02:56,633 --> 00:02:58,900
I mean, it's just mixing my metaphors.

47
00:02:58,966 --> 00:03:02,266
But, uh, yeah, I just, I just wanted

48
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:05,266
 to, to lay it all out, obedience comes from faith, righteousness

49
00:03:05,266 --> 00:03:08,199
 comes from God, and and it's, it's a beautiful book.

50
00:03:08,266 --> 00:03:10,366
I wanted to encourage everybody just to read it.

51
00:03:10,433 --> 00:03:11,449
it more and more.

52
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:11,800
Yeah.

53
00:03:11,866 --> 00:03:12,883
Yeah, absolutely.

54
00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:14,916
It is the one thing.

55
00:03:14,933 --> 00:03:18,033
I think you were the one that said it once that all

56
00:03:18,883 --> 00:03:20,616
 new Christians, the answer is start with Romans.

57
00:03:20,683 --> 00:03:23,550
You can't figure out where to start studies, start with wrong.

58
00:03:23,633 --> 00:03:24,883
It can be it can be difficult.

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,550
Yeah, parts of it, right?

60
00:03:26,633 --> 00:03:27,349
I understand.

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,466
man, it's so important.

62
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:30,349
But yeah, stay with it.

63
00:03:30,349 --> 00:03:31,116
And it's, yeah.

64
00:03:31,183 --> 00:03:32,616
Romans, the book of John.

65
00:03:32,683 --> 00:03:35,083
New Christians jump on those 2 for sure.

66
00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:36,949
You know, go from there.

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,633
We'll catch you on the other side of it, and then we'll get you going from there.

68
00:03:39,699 --> 00:03:42,816
Yeah, I mean, well, and it's one of those things I always tell people,

69
00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:46,300
 basically, if you go from Acts all the way up

70
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,766
 until about Jude and just that section and just make

71
00:03:49,783 --> 00:03:52,783
 sure you've got that studied up before you, because those, all

72
00:03:52,783 --> 00:03:56,516
 of that whole section of the New Testament is so important to how?

73
00:03:57,099 --> 00:03:59,133
And it's it's the how.

74
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:00,150
It's the application.

75
00:04:00,233 --> 00:04:03,233
Um, and then the, the history of it is

76
00:04:03,233 --> 00:04:07,133
 everything that came before that and then the future of where we're headed, of course, is Revelation.

77
00:04:07,183 --> 00:04:10,183
But if you go, that New Testament part, that's

78
00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:13,233
 the practical application of how to be a Christian.

79
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:15,400
And, uh, and there there are.

80
00:04:15,466 --> 00:04:18,699
There's lots of people, but that read those and come up with one set

81
00:04:18,699 --> 00:04:21,266
 of ideas on how things are supposed to work and other people.

82
00:04:21,350 --> 00:04:22,716
And you know what?

83
00:04:22,783 --> 00:04:23,316
Fine.

84
00:04:23,383 --> 00:04:26,500
As long as at the end of the day, you understand that your

85
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,616
 salvation is through Christ and nothing else, and that

86
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:32,633
 everything else is just the practical application in your

87
00:04:32,633 --> 00:04:36,166
 life, once you come to that realization, it's like, okay, you

88
00:04:36,166 --> 00:04:39,283
 might not, you might fit in better with this crowd over here than this other crowd,

89
00:04:39,283 --> 00:04:42,583
 and you need to find somewhere you fit in and that you can feel comfortable

90
00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:45,333
 worshiping and you can feel comfortable in the way that you apply it.

91
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:48,399
But don't, you know, don't for a minute think

92
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:50,016
 that the application is what saves you.

93
00:04:50,083 --> 00:04:53,133
No, but a guy like Paul, you know, when he's

94
00:04:53,149 --> 00:04:55,300
 talking about the righteousness that comes from God.

95
00:04:55,366 --> 00:04:56,983
He knows what he's talking about.

96
00:04:57,050 --> 00:05:00,283
He looks a huge chunk of his life and self-righteousness and

97
00:05:00,283 --> 00:05:03,399
 fear and living in that Pharisaical world.

98
00:05:03,466 --> 00:05:04,366
Yes, absolutely.

99
00:05:04,483 --> 00:05:07,649
And he understands what it's like to be free in Christ.

100
00:05:07,733 --> 00:05:09,649
Yeah, he lays that out.

101
00:05:09,699 --> 00:05:10,833
It's such a beautiful way.

102
00:05:10,899 --> 00:05:11,966
And all of his letters, really.

103
00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:13,966
I've always been a big Paul fan.

104
00:05:14,033 --> 00:05:14,933
Yes.

105
00:05:14,983 --> 00:05:17,550
Well, and I've always, it's such an amazing thing to watch.

106
00:05:17,683 --> 00:05:20,683
Saul the center who truly believed he was righteous.

107
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:23,083
Oh, yeah, and he lived it.

108
00:05:23,149 --> 00:05:23,866
And he lived it.

109
00:05:23,933 --> 00:05:25,183
was on the outside.

110
00:05:25,250 --> 00:05:28,850
And then he becomes Paul and he realizes

111
00:05:28,850 --> 00:05:30,283
 there's nothing righteous in him at all.

112
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:31,783
I counted all as rubbish.

113
00:05:31,850 --> 00:05:35,866
And he's just like, it's like, man, you see that and that transformation is so powerful.

114
00:05:35,983 --> 00:05:38,316
what made him so powerful.

115
00:05:38,383 --> 00:05:39,816
That's what made him so dynamic.

116
00:05:39,883 --> 00:05:43,183
That's what made him so passionate

117
00:05:43,183 --> 00:05:46,300
 about the word was he knew where the

118
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:50,016
 gospel and where Jesus had brought him from, right?

119
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:51,100
I mean, Exactly.

120
00:05:51,166 --> 00:05:54,399
And he had that encounter with Jesus

121
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:57,633
 really had that encounter twice with him, right?

122
00:05:57,699 --> 00:06:00,699
He had it in the, he says I was caught up in the 3rd heaven.

123
00:06:00,766 --> 00:06:01,533
You mentioned that last night.

124
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,649
He had it on the road to Damascus, you know, when, I

125
00:06:04,666 --> 00:06:06,216
 mean, he blinded him there.

126
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:09,333
He had he had a personal encounter with Jesus and

127
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:11,683
 that made him and that made him an apostle, right?

128
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:12,466
Yeah.

129
00:06:12,533 --> 00:06:15,283
There's there's no modern day apostles, right?

130
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:16,183
Correct.

131
00:06:16,183 --> 00:06:19,183
Yeah, not what we consider it apostle

132
00:06:19,183 --> 00:06:22,533
 or what made an apostle in that in that era in that time.

133
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,500
So anyway.

134
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,333
Absolutely.

135
00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:27,566
But it is, it's a fantastic study and

136
00:06:27,583 --> 00:06:29,199
 definitely encourage people.

137
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:33,266
If you're with us and you're sticking around with us with these studies as we go through, Romans.

138
00:06:34,483 --> 00:06:35,916
Go study it.

139
00:06:35,983 --> 00:06:37,050
Go study it.

140
00:06:37,133 --> 00:06:37,600
It's wonderful.

141
00:06:37,666 --> 00:06:41,500
But tonight we are looking at Revelation.

142
00:06:41,566 --> 00:06:44,616
We're in 219 is where we left off,

143
00:06:44,633 --> 00:06:47,633
 and if you, uh, so 20 and

144
00:06:47,633 --> 00:06:50,750
 everything has been leading up to the new heavens

145
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:55,066
 and the new earth, the new Jerusalem, um, we're

146
00:06:55,066 --> 00:06:58,233
 seeing the, uh, the fact that God

147
00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:01,250
 is now with every person, and in 214, we

148
00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:04,550
 had every tier wiped away, and there will be no more mourning

149
00:07:04,550 --> 00:07:07,483
 or crying or pain for the former things that ceased to exist.

150
00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:10,966
And, um, you know, and and Christ

151
00:07:10,966 --> 00:07:12,816
 sitting there and sitting on the throne.

152
00:07:12,883 --> 00:07:15,283
He said, look, I am making all things new.

153
00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:19,183
I love, love that scripture, uh, in

154
00:07:19,183 --> 00:07:22,300
 in Revelation 215, and he that sat upon the throne

155
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:25,050
 said, behold, I make all things new.

156
00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:28,133
He said unto me, right, for these words are true and faithful.

157
00:07:28,183 --> 00:07:31,233
And I mean, man, that is just so

158
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:33,699
 awesome to hear that.

159
00:07:33,699 --> 00:07:36,699
And we know who it was because he says, and he said unto

160
00:07:36,699 --> 00:07:39,816
 me in 216, I am the alpha, and Omega, the beginning and

161
00:07:39,833 --> 00:07:43,000
 the end, I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain

162
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,850
 of the water of life freely.

163
00:07:44,866 --> 00:07:48,216
And everything that we have that

164
00:07:48,233 --> 00:07:51,233
 we've been studying, everything in the scripture is leading up to this,

165
00:07:51,233 --> 00:07:54,350
 and that is the pinnacle of our salvation

166
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:56,916
 and the ultimate expression of our faith.

167
00:07:57,050 --> 00:08:00,166
And we get down here, these last few

168
00:08:00,166 --> 00:08:03,516
 verses, 217, uh, he that overcometh,

169
00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:07,300
 shall inherit all things, and I will be his God,

170
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:08,733
 and he shall be my son.

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,850
But the fearful and unbelieving and

172
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:15,333
 abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters

173
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:18,399
 and all liars shall have their part in the lake, which burneth

174
00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:21,516
 with fire and brimstone, which is the 2nd death, and

175
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,466
 let's look at just verse 8

176
00:08:25,483 --> 00:08:28,600
 again, just for a 2nd, just for 12nd, because that,

177
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,716
 you know, we're reminded

178
00:08:31,733 --> 00:08:35,149
 about the lake of fire that's

179
00:08:35,149 --> 00:08:36,649
 never going to that's never going to go out.

180
00:08:36,700 --> 00:08:37,950
They're never going to escape from it.

181
00:08:38,033 --> 00:08:41,033
And we're, and these people, these people that

182
00:08:41,033 --> 00:08:44,083
 are, that, that list here, these are people that that live

183
00:08:44,083 --> 00:08:47,083
 that permanent lifestyle, right, that never change, that never turn

184
00:08:47,083 --> 00:08:50,133
 from it, that, that, uh, you know,

185
00:08:50,149 --> 00:08:53,616
 uh, we've all sinned and came short of the glory of God.

186
00:08:53,683 --> 00:08:56,733
And it's like you said last night, you know, there, we

187
00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:59,799
 still have a sinful nature about this, even though we're

188
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:03,149
 transformed and we're renewed and we're new from the inside out,

189
00:09:03,166 --> 00:09:05,016
 but that flesh still creeps up.

190
00:09:05,083 --> 00:09:08,250
But it's that it's that habitual

191
00:09:08,266 --> 00:09:11,200
 sinning lifestyle that you make.

192
00:09:11,266 --> 00:09:14,566
Yeah, I mean, just like this whole month that we're celebrating,

193
00:09:14,566 --> 00:09:17,799
 and we're not celebrating, but the world is celebrating right

194
00:09:17,799 --> 00:09:21,866
 now, this pride month, and, you know, ironic that it's called pride month.

195
00:09:21,950 --> 00:09:25,416
because pride after pride comes a fall.

196
00:09:25,483 --> 00:09:28,833
But, um, but this, this whole, this whole month,

197
00:09:28,850 --> 00:09:31,850
 and man, we're, I've been, I've been so aggravated because

198
00:09:31,850 --> 00:09:35,016
 I've seen people like, um, well, of course, we know Disney

199
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:38,333
 has already went liberal a long time ago, but, uh,

200
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:41,450
 but you got folks like the, uh, PBS, Sesame

201
00:09:41,450 --> 00:09:44,500
 Street, you know, and they, they've fallen into this

202
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,966
 whole thing too, and celebrating pride month, and uh,

203
00:09:47,983 --> 00:09:49,649
 celebrating sin is what they're doing.

204
00:09:49,783 --> 00:09:53,383
Can I point out they never did that when Fred Rogers, the Presbyterian

205
00:09:53,383 --> 00:09:55,183
 minister was working with PBS?

206
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:56,566
It's weird.

207
00:09:56,633 --> 00:09:58,000
Yeah, which is...

208
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,049
Yeah, but they, they, they, they use, uh, use cute

209
00:10:01,066 --> 00:10:02,733
 to, uh, cloak evil.

210
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:03,450
It does.

211
00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:04,549
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

212
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,166
And I wrote my I sent a text.

213
00:10:07,250 --> 00:10:10,666
soon as I seen it, I sent a text to my kids with the little

214
00:10:10,666 --> 00:10:13,716
 post that they had on there for Pride Month,

215
00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:17,033
 and I said, I said, guys, I said, if you

216
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:21,049
 think it's not important that we keep our kids,

217
00:10:21,049 --> 00:10:24,283
 and now my grandbaby, and,

218
00:10:24,283 --> 00:10:27,583
 you know, going to have hopefully more grandbabies in the future,

219
00:10:27,583 --> 00:10:30,633
 but if you think it's not up to us to protect them and

220
00:10:30,649 --> 00:10:33,649
 protect their heart and their eyes and what they see and what

221
00:10:33,649 --> 00:10:34,899
 they hear and what they listen to,

222
00:10:35,566 --> 00:10:38,566
uh, you know, I mean, uh, it's just,

223
00:10:38,566 --> 00:10:41,566
 I could go on with several different other, these

224
00:10:41,566 --> 00:10:44,733
 liberal, uh, shows and stuff that

225
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:47,866
 they're, uh, they're, they're infiltrating into our homes and

226
00:10:47,866 --> 00:10:51,166
 our kids and, and uh, just, you can't hardly escape it anymore.

227
00:10:51,233 --> 00:10:54,883
I want to talk a little bit about seven, the overcoming thing.

228
00:10:54,883 --> 00:10:56,250
Yeah. that overcoming.

229
00:10:56,383 --> 00:10:58,299
we all have something to overcome, don't we?

230
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:00,633
You know, it's I had some notes last week.

231
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:03,700
I don't think I even shared them last week, but this overcome

232
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:07,766
 is Jesus saying deny yourself.

233
00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:10,366
you know, Paul saying, be a living sacrifice.

234
00:11:10,433 --> 00:11:13,850
And it says again in Romans 8 to

235
00:11:13,850 --> 00:11:16,299
 kill the deeds of the body, basically, is what he said.

236
00:11:16,366 --> 00:11:19,000
And the letters to the churches in the 1st 3 chapters, right?

237
00:11:19,066 --> 00:11:21,516
Every one of them ends with he who overcome.

238
00:11:21,583 --> 00:11:22,183
That's right

239
00:11:22,299 --> 00:11:25,000
As Christians, we have overcoming to do.

240
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:25,716
Amen.

241
00:11:25,783 --> 00:11:26,616
Amen.

242
00:11:26,633 --> 00:11:27,100
Amen.

243
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:27,399
We do.

244
00:11:27,466 --> 00:11:29,983
We've got we've got battles to fight, don't we?

245
00:11:30,049 --> 00:11:33,466
Yeah, but if we just yield, we just yield that verse,

246
00:11:33,466 --> 00:11:35,266
 that verse, where was it?

247
00:11:35,383 --> 00:11:38,549
Verse five, you know, behold, I may call things new.

248
00:11:38,633 --> 00:11:40,183
That's just future.

249
00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:40,783
That's now.

250
00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:42,049
right inside my heart, right?

251
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:42,566
That's right.

252
00:11:42,950 --> 00:11:43,066
Yes.

253
00:11:43,483 --> 00:11:43,649
Yeah.

254
00:11:43,733 --> 00:11:43,899
Yeah.

255
00:11:43,966 --> 00:11:45,283
He's already made me new and...

256
00:11:45,283 --> 00:11:47,250
Yeah, he's...

257
00:11:47,383 --> 00:11:49,899
He's still making me new and he'll continue to make me new.

258
00:11:50,033 --> 00:11:53,200
Well, and I always have viewed that as,

259
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,049
 you know, he's making us new now.

260
00:11:55,133 --> 00:11:57,700
But we get there and he says, I've already it's done.

261
00:11:57,766 --> 00:11:59,200
It's finitive is done.

262
00:11:59,266 --> 00:12:00,700
You are now fully new.

263
00:12:01,850 --> 00:12:05,799
you know, but the process that we're going through now, that it's

264
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:07,116
 part of that fire that we're going through.

265
00:12:07,183 --> 00:12:10,600
I mean, it's part of that, that purification process where we're

266
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,766
 being broken down and we're being changed little by little, uh,

267
00:12:14,566 --> 00:12:17,733
 until we get to the other side and what's over there is

268
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:19,549
 something that's totally new and totally different.

269
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,266
And that's awesome.

270
00:12:21,350 --> 00:12:22,066
It's wonderful.

271
00:12:22,133 --> 00:12:25,133
And it's great to know that the sin and the

272
00:12:25,133 --> 00:12:29,383
 dumb decisions that we make here, they're going to be gone.

273
00:12:29,450 --> 00:12:33,216
That's like my favorite predestination verse is Romans

274
00:12:33,233 --> 00:12:36,233
 829 because every Christian has been predestined to

275
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:37,733
 become conformed to the image of his son.

276
00:12:39,166 --> 00:12:41,016
That's the predestination I'm talking about.

277
00:12:41,083 --> 00:12:41,549
That's right.

278
00:12:41,566 --> 00:12:44,383
Yeah, our job is to grow up to be like him.

279
00:12:44,450 --> 00:12:45,350
That's it.

280
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:48,100
not that you're chosen and you're not. chosen, you're not.

281
00:12:48,166 --> 00:12:49,066
chosen your...

282
00:12:49,066 --> 00:12:49,299
Yeah.

283
00:12:49,366 --> 00:12:49,666
Yeah.

284
00:12:49,733 --> 00:12:51,166
That's yeah.

285
00:12:51,233 --> 00:12:51,883
Amen.

286
00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:52,600
Amen.

287
00:12:52,666 --> 00:12:53,016
Amen.

288
00:12:53,866 --> 00:12:54,700
All right.

289
00:12:54,766 --> 00:12:56,866
And then that brings us to 219 now.

290
00:12:56,933 --> 00:12:58,183
Yes, let's get us home.

291
00:12:58,250 --> 00:12:59,799
This is good stuff.

292
00:12:59,933 --> 00:13:00,533
All right.

293
00:13:00,583 --> 00:13:01,716
How many of these you want to read, brother?

294
00:13:01,783 --> 00:13:03,216
Uh, it don't matter.

295
00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:06,466
Well, dude,

296
00:13:06,466 --> 00:13:07,899
 just start with 9 and 10.

297
00:13:08,149 --> 00:13:11,500
Then one of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls filled

298
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:14,500
 with the 7 last plagues came to me and talked with

299
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:18,216
 me, saying, come, I will show you the bride, the lamb's wife.

300
00:13:18,283 --> 00:13:21,399
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high

301
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,750
 mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem,

302
00:13:24,766 --> 00:13:26,200
 descending out of heaven from God.

303
00:13:26,266 --> 00:13:26,516
Yeah.

304
00:13:28,966 --> 00:13:31,483
The new Jerusalem.

305
00:13:31,549 --> 00:13:32,683
The new Jerusalem.

306
00:13:32,750 --> 00:13:34,783
The news rules.

307
00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:39,100
Jerusalem and the Old Testament represented where God lives.

308
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:40,299
Yeah.

309
00:13:40,366 --> 00:13:41,683
The presence of God.

310
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:45,516
And and righteousness

311
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:48,700
 will reign in this in the in this in

312
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:52,299
 the earthly Jerusalem, but righteousness dwells

313
00:13:52,299 --> 00:13:53,616
 in the New Jerusalem.

314
00:13:53,683 --> 00:13:56,799
That's one of the notes that I put in here, it rains in

315
00:13:56,799 --> 00:13:58,466
 the New Jerusalem, but it dwells.

316
00:13:58,549 --> 00:14:02,083
I mean, it rains in the earthly Jerusalem,

317
00:14:02,083 --> 00:14:05,133
 but it dwells and then New Jerusalem.

318
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,116
And that's going to be the dwelling place of the church.

319
00:14:07,183 --> 00:14:07,716
Yeah.

320
00:14:07,733 --> 00:14:10,733
That's the driving place that the church will live with him

321
00:14:10,733 --> 00:14:13,899
 in this place described to us that

322
00:14:13,899 --> 00:14:17,616
 he talks about in John 14 that I can't get away from sometimes.

323
00:14:17,683 --> 00:14:23,733
But, you

324
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:25,716
 know, the church.

325
00:14:25,783 --> 00:14:29,083
Well, yeah, something that those who

326
00:14:29,083 --> 00:14:31,299
 are the children of Israel do not.

327
00:14:31,366 --> 00:14:34,716
And we talk about this a little bit before, but, um,

328
00:14:34,733 --> 00:14:38,333
 We, uh, we're the bridegroom.

329
00:14:38,383 --> 00:14:40,350
I mean, he's a bridegroom and we're the bride.

330
00:14:40,433 --> 00:14:41,933
John 329.

331
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,666
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom.

332
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:47,983
But the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and

333
00:14:47,983 --> 00:14:51,633
 heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice.

334
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:54,333
This my joy, therefore, is full.

335
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,966
Who's the friend of the, you got the bride.

336
00:14:57,049 --> 00:15:01,066
You got the bridegroom in John 3, and then you got the friend of the bridegroom.

337
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:04,250
I believe that the friend of the bridegroom will be, uh,

338
00:15:04,250 --> 00:15:07,250
 will be those Jewish believers who are who are

339
00:15:07,250 --> 00:15:10,250
 uh, those 144,000, those those that

340
00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:13,000
 were saved during the, during the tribulation time.

341
00:15:13,133 --> 00:15:15,466
They're going to be the friend of the bridegroom.

342
00:15:15,533 --> 00:15:19,366
They, they were, they come to Christ after, uh, after

343
00:15:19,366 --> 00:15:20,500
 the church age.

344
00:15:20,566 --> 00:15:24,216
And so I think those are going to be the friend that

345
00:15:24,233 --> 00:15:25,600
 John 3 talks about there.

346
00:15:25,733 --> 00:15:29,799
And really, really, I mean, it's not a matter of fairness either, right?

347
00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:30,533
No, no.

348
00:15:30,533 --> 00:15:32,333
These tribulation saints.

349
00:15:32,383 --> 00:15:35,549
I'd say the vast, vast majority of them had the opportunity before

350
00:15:35,566 --> 00:15:38,433
 the rapture turned to him afterward.

351
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,666
And so it's not a status thing either.

352
00:15:41,750 --> 00:15:44,750
No, no, but you know, a lot of

353
00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:48,216
 times people get caught up and say, well, you know, we weren't God's chosen people.

354
00:15:48,283 --> 00:15:51,033
Well, we were chosen in a different time.

355
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:54,266
You know, we were giving him in a different time and we have a Israel

356
00:15:56,149 --> 00:15:57,350
 has a wonderful place with him.

357
00:15:57,399 --> 00:15:59,850
The tribulation saints have a wonderful place with him.

358
00:15:59,933 --> 00:16:02,566
The church has a wonderful place with him as his bride.

359
00:16:02,633 --> 00:16:05,866
So, and then

360
00:16:05,866 --> 00:16:09,516
 you, and then you get this, this, this blueprint, right?

361
00:16:09,583 --> 00:16:12,750
I mean, you start getting this blueprint of the new Jerusalem.

362
00:16:12,833 --> 00:16:14,983
It's location.

363
00:16:15,049 --> 00:16:18,649
Um, it doesn't, you know, I don't know.

364
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,166
And this is just some speculation and study and different things.

365
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:25,299
Look at different things, thinking about building the

366
00:16:25,299 --> 00:16:26,850
 room onto the father's house.

367
00:16:26,933 --> 00:16:30,283
I mentioned this a little bit, I think, last week, but some

368
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:34,600
 say that it's just it's connected to heaven.

369
00:16:34,666 --> 00:16:37,666
It's part of heaven, but it's a place that he's built,

370
00:16:37,666 --> 00:16:40,833
 connected to this, to this new heaven that will house

371
00:16:40,850 --> 00:16:41,866
 the bride.

372
00:16:41,933 --> 00:16:43,366
It's definitely not on earth.

373
00:16:43,433 --> 00:16:47,149
It's, it's, if anything, it's suspended, right?

374
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,250
It's suspended somewhere between heaven and

375
00:16:50,266 --> 00:16:52,533
 earth or attached to heaven there.

376
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,899
But the main thing is, is, is what makes

377
00:16:55,899 --> 00:16:59,016
 it, uh, so great is, is that the

378
00:16:59,033 --> 00:17:02,149
 church, the bride of Christ is there and Christ,

379
00:17:02,149 --> 00:17:03,350
 the bridegroom, is there.

380
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:04,766
He's there with us.

381
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:08,966
And this will be the sinner, I believe, of everything.

382
00:17:09,049 --> 00:17:11,500
What makes it hard?

383
00:17:11,566 --> 00:17:14,616
It's so hard to visualize because back in 21, it's a new

384
00:17:14,633 --> 00:17:15,650
 heaven.

385
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:17,500
I don't know what it's going to look like, right?

386
00:17:17,566 --> 00:17:18,766
It might be flat.

387
00:17:18,833 --> 00:17:21,349
Like people theorize about today, right?

388
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,900
I think this might be weird.

389
00:17:22,900 --> 00:17:23,433
We don't know.

390
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:24,333
No, we don't.

391
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:24,866
We don't.

392
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:28,000
And this may be where the marriage supper takes place.

393
00:17:28,066 --> 00:17:31,783
Like, you know, the the after

394
00:17:31,783 --> 00:17:32,983
 party, you know?

395
00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:34,666
that we have there.

396
00:17:34,733 --> 00:17:35,783
So, I don't know.

397
00:17:36,283 --> 00:17:36,950
Yeah.

398
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,150
And I probably should have read 11 there too.

399
00:17:39,233 --> 00:17:42,533
Having the glory of God, that New Jerusalem,

400
00:17:42,533 --> 00:17:45,700
 the glory of God, and their light was like a most precious stone,

401
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:47,849
 like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

402
00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:49,299
That's that's beautiful.

403
00:17:49,366 --> 00:17:50,566
Yeah, it is.

404
00:17:50,633 --> 00:17:51,349
That's beautiful.

405
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,816
We'll read a little later, you know, what that what that light's about.

406
00:17:54,883 --> 00:17:56,250
Yeah, absolutely.

407
00:17:56,333 --> 00:17:57,049
Absolutely.

408
00:17:57,099 --> 00:17:57,516
Yeah.

409
00:17:57,650 --> 00:18:00,700
And, you know, we

410
00:18:00,700 --> 00:18:03,700
 need to understand too, that we've been we've

411
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:06,750
 been separated from God's glory because of

412
00:18:06,766 --> 00:18:08,433
 sin here in this world.

413
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:11,733
But here in this new city,

414
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:13,783
 there will be no sin.

415
00:18:13,783 --> 00:18:17,983
There will be nothing to separate us from

416
00:18:17,983 --> 00:18:19,233
 our creator.

417
00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:23,383
And our bridegroom and our king, right?

418
00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:24,950
There's no separation anymore.

419
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
That's a wonderful thing because, you

420
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,450
 know, God, he's not going to be in the presence of sin.

421
00:18:30,533 --> 00:18:33,533
He's not going to be in the presence of unrighteousness because

422
00:18:33,533 --> 00:18:35,500
 he's a righteous and he's a holy God.

423
00:18:35,566 --> 00:18:38,866
But once sin is taken out of the way, oh,

424
00:18:38,866 --> 00:18:41,200
 man, we've got access to the king.

425
00:18:41,266 --> 00:18:44,083
God, we've got access to the creator.

426
00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:44,916
Free.

427
00:18:44,983 --> 00:18:45,750
Or free.

428
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:48,833
You know, a lot of people dwell in their sin thinking they're free.

429
00:18:49,066 --> 00:18:51,033
free to do everything they want and they're in slavery.

430
00:18:51,099 --> 00:18:52,233
Yeah, they are.

431
00:18:52,299 --> 00:18:52,766
Bondage.

432
00:18:52,849 --> 00:18:53,566
They're bonding.

433
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:54,533
Amen.

434
00:18:55,366 --> 00:18:55,833
Yeah.

435
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:59,066
I like how, and this keeps showing up that this

436
00:18:59,083 --> 00:19:00,283
 clear is crystal.

437
00:19:00,349 --> 00:19:01,416
Everything is clear.

438
00:19:01,483 --> 00:19:03,750
And when I think of clear like that,

439
00:19:03,833 --> 00:19:07,000
I think, well, you can see inside this thing from outside, you can see this.

440
00:19:07,066 --> 00:19:08,866
everything's transparent.

441
00:19:08,933 --> 00:19:09,533
It is.

442
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:11,083
It's like our lives ought to be.

443
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:11,450
Yeah.

444
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:12,150
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

445
00:19:12,233 --> 00:19:13,599
an open book, right?

446
00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:14,916
Nothing's hidden anymore.

447
00:19:14,983 --> 00:19:16,116
Nothing's hid anymore.

448
00:19:16,183 --> 00:19:19,416
The word light here is the Greek word

449
00:19:19,433 --> 00:19:22,366
 foster, which means source of light.

450
00:19:22,433 --> 00:19:26,083
Christ himself will be our source

451
00:19:26,083 --> 00:19:28,000
 of light, not the sun, right?

452
00:19:28,066 --> 00:19:31,599
Not the moon, not the stars, but Jesus, our savior.

453
00:19:31,666 --> 00:19:32,983
And I know we'll get more into that.

454
00:19:33,049 --> 00:19:36,516
But, uh, John 95,

455
00:19:36,533 --> 00:19:39,533
 as long as I am in the world, I am the light of the

456
00:19:39,533 --> 00:19:40,599
 world, right?

457
00:19:40,666 --> 00:19:43,716
And so wherever he is is where the light is.

458
00:19:43,783 --> 00:19:46,833
Yeah, except

459
00:19:46,849 --> 00:19:48,650
 this time it won't just be a spiritual lot.

460
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:49,016
Exactly.

461
00:19:50,866 --> 00:19:51,516
Exactly.

462
00:19:51,583 --> 00:19:52,299
Yeah.

463
00:19:52,366 --> 00:19:52,833
Yeah, yeah.

464
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:55,900
And then it goes on with that jasper stone.

465
00:19:55,966 --> 00:19:59,016
It's, um, we see that in

466
00:19:59,033 --> 00:20:02,083
 Ezekiel 122, but mentioned here is

467
00:20:02,083 --> 00:20:05,433
 more likely translated to our modern diamond, that

468
00:20:05,450 --> 00:20:09,216
 is what this jasper is probably like,

469
00:20:09,233 --> 00:20:12,349
 the city is the, it's the engagement and the wedding

470
00:20:12,349 --> 00:20:13,483
 ring of the bride.

471
00:20:13,549 --> 00:20:17,200
You know, because it's the diamond that...

472
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,216
If he wasn't like a gemstone expert...

473
00:20:21,233 --> 00:20:21,700
Oh, yeah.

474
00:20:21,766 --> 00:20:23,799
He had to have like a backup job.

475
00:20:23,866 --> 00:20:25,783
Oh, yeah, that's, that's Jasper.

476
00:20:25,849 --> 00:20:27,049
Yeah, it goes on.

477
00:20:27,099 --> 00:20:28,650
read some of his listed out.

478
00:20:28,733 --> 00:20:30,650
man, how does he name all these?

479
00:20:30,766 --> 00:20:31,116
Yeah.

480
00:20:31,133 --> 00:20:33,166
He had a side job.

481
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:34,133
Yeah, I reckon.

482
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:36,400
Well, of course, he was fed by the Holy Spirit here too.

483
00:20:36,466 --> 00:20:38,683
John the Jeweler.

484
00:20:38,750 --> 00:20:39,516
Yeah.

485
00:20:39,533 --> 00:20:42,883
Jewelry Bajan.

486
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:44,016
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

487
00:20:44,083 --> 00:20:46,183
Well, we might...

488
00:20:46,250 --> 00:20:51,466
So you

489
00:20:51,466 --> 00:20:52,833
 may read 12 and 13?

490
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:53,366
Yeah.

491
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:56,750
Uh, and had a

492
00:20:56,750 --> 00:21:00,400
 had a wall, great and high, and the 12 gates,

493
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,400
 and the gates, 12, and at the gates, 12

494
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,566
 angels, and names written their own, which

495
00:21:06,583 --> 00:21:10,416
 are the names of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel, on

496
00:21:10,433 --> 00:21:13,433
 the east 3 gates, on the north 3 gates, and on the

497
00:21:13,433 --> 00:21:15,650
 south 3 gates, and on the west 3 gates.

498
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:18,933
So 12 gates to the city,

499
00:21:18,950 --> 00:21:22,900
 3 gates on each side, uh, on

500
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:26,016
 each gate was written, uh, the 12 the

501
00:21:26,033 --> 00:21:27,583
 names of the 12 tribes of Israel.

502
00:21:27,650 --> 00:21:30,950
And this suggests the

503
00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:34,000
 order in which the tries camped

504
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,799
 about the tabernacle.

505
00:21:35,933 --> 00:21:40,433
If you think about, they camped around the tabernacle, they were moving.

506
00:21:40,483 --> 00:21:42,933
And so this is kind of the same thing.

507
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,466
He's representing that here when

508
00:21:46,483 --> 00:21:49,233
 they were in the tabernacle in the wilderness and they were wondering.

509
00:21:49,299 --> 00:21:52,466
The tribe of Levi was the

510
00:21:52,483 --> 00:21:56,733
 priesthood, and they served the tabernacle proper.

511
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,033
The new Jerusalem is a

512
00:22:00,049 --> 00:22:03,099
 tabernacle in one sense, but God is also

513
00:22:03,099 --> 00:22:05,966
 dwelling there with man, with us.

514
00:22:06,049 --> 00:22:09,516
The bride constitutes the priesthood who

515
00:22:09,533 --> 00:22:10,733
 serves him constantly.

516
00:22:10,783 --> 00:22:11,200
Right?

517
00:22:11,266 --> 00:22:12,166
That's what we're doing.

518
00:22:12,233 --> 00:22:13,966
We're the priesthood of God.

519
00:22:13,966 --> 00:22:16,299
And he tells us that, right?

520
00:22:16,366 --> 00:22:18,099
That we're a royal priesthood.

521
00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:19,599
That's who we are.

522
00:22:19,666 --> 00:22:22,833
And they serve as such

523
00:22:22,849 --> 00:22:26,266
 in the city and dwell there as Levi

524
00:22:26,266 --> 00:22:28,183
 did about in the tabernacle.

525
00:22:28,299 --> 00:22:30,016
Levi dwelt in the tabernacle.

526
00:22:30,283 --> 00:22:33,400
Um, it's been suggested that the children of Israel will

527
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,516
 be, uh, uh, will come up to

528
00:22:37,066 --> 00:22:40,533
 the city for worship, uh, I think that's what it'll happen.

529
00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:44,316
Those that are dwelling on the earth will come up to the city.

530
00:22:44,383 --> 00:22:45,700
That'll be the worship place.

531
00:22:45,833 --> 00:22:49,000
That'll be where they worship Jesus, where they worship God,

532
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
 and then return back to their place on earth.

533
00:22:52,066 --> 00:22:55,066
Because this place that he's built

534
00:22:55,066 --> 00:22:58,599
 here, this this particular place is just for the bride.

535
00:22:58,666 --> 00:22:59,500
It's for the church.

536
00:22:59,566 --> 00:23:03,283
It's the John 14 place that he went to prepare for us.

537
00:23:03,283 --> 00:23:06,750
And we dwell in that new city as the bridegroom.

538
00:23:07,283 --> 00:23:08,633
Yeah, yeah.

539
00:23:08,683 --> 00:23:08,849
Yeah.

540
00:23:08,933 --> 00:23:11,566
What a wonderful picture.

541
00:23:11,633 --> 00:23:12,099
Man.

542
00:23:12,166 --> 00:23:12,766
Yeah.

543
00:23:12,833 --> 00:23:14,150
Yeah it is.

544
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,450
I was

545
00:23:18,466 --> 00:23:21,583
 looking at the 12, the 12 gates are named after

546
00:23:21,583 --> 00:23:23,016
 the 12 tribes of Israel.

547
00:23:23,083 --> 00:23:26,200
And of course, the next one's going to say that is going to talk about 12 Foundations.

548
00:23:26,266 --> 00:23:26,683
Yeah.

549
00:23:26,683 --> 00:23:29,433
But our faith is built on that, isn't it?

550
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:30,933
It's built on those 12.

551
00:23:32,383 --> 00:23:35,500
It's kind of the entryway into it and the foundation of it all is

552
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:37,049
 the testimony of the apostle.

553
00:23:37,133 --> 00:23:37,733
The apostles.

554
00:23:37,783 --> 00:23:37,950
Yeah.

555
00:23:38,033 --> 00:23:38,266
Yeah.

556
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:41,500
You think about we take

557
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:44,133
 what we got from the children of Israel, from the tribes.

558
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,200
And then we take what we got from the apostles and our whole

559
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,250
 faith is built from Old Testament to New Testament,

560
00:23:50,266 --> 00:23:52,366
 all of that crimson thread.

561
00:23:52,433 --> 00:23:53,033
Yeah.

562
00:23:53,083 --> 00:23:54,150
Isn't it crazy?

563
00:23:54,233 --> 00:23:55,666
And you were talking about the tabernacle.

564
00:23:55,783 --> 00:23:58,599
And that stuff was all just shadow or a picture of this.

565
00:23:58,733 --> 00:23:59,266
That's this.

566
00:23:59,266 --> 00:24:01,000
He sees one end to the other.

567
00:24:01,066 --> 00:24:01,483
That's right.

568
00:24:01,549 --> 00:24:04,599
And he said, lay it out like this and do this and do that and just

569
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:07,599
 tedious instructions and he gave them an Old Testament

570
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:09,816
 to do all that stuff as a picture of what this is.

571
00:24:09,883 --> 00:24:10,900
Yeah.

572
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:11,966
Absolutely.

573
00:24:12,049 --> 00:24:13,416
You know, and it's amazing to me.

574
00:24:13,483 --> 00:24:17,200
God does

575
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,333
 things backwards sometimes.

576
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,299
to us.

577
00:24:19,366 --> 00:24:22,366
Because the gates that you get into the

578
00:24:22,366 --> 00:24:25,299
 city are the are the 12 tribes of Israel, right?

579
00:24:25,366 --> 00:24:28,966
Those are the, those are what he, he puts over the names of the gates.

580
00:24:29,033 --> 00:24:32,450
But you got to put the foundation 1st where

581
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:34,966
 you can't you can't have a gate if you don't have a foundation to put it on.

582
00:24:35,033 --> 00:24:38,083
But the foundation is something that came later.

583
00:24:38,150 --> 00:24:38,866
Yeah.

584
00:24:38,866 --> 00:24:42,466
It's the testimony of the apostles because at the end of the day, the foundation is Christ.

585
00:24:42,533 --> 00:24:43,250
That's right.

586
00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:44,866
And it's amazing.

587
00:24:44,933 --> 00:24:48,049
God, I think sometimes God just does little things like

588
00:24:48,049 --> 00:24:50,916
 that just to go back and go, really?

589
00:24:50,983 --> 00:24:55,000
Really, do you guys really think that y'all came up with this?

590
00:24:55,133 --> 00:24:58,666
Yeah, that I didn't have it already planned from the very beginning.

591
00:24:58,783 --> 00:25:00,400
You think, man?

592
00:25:00,466 --> 00:25:02,433
You think man came up with this?

593
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:05,200
I already had this planned out.

594
00:25:05,266 --> 00:25:07,599
I mean, you read that and it's like, wait, that's backwards.

595
00:25:07,666 --> 00:25:08,266
Right.

596
00:25:08,333 --> 00:25:09,466
Yeah, yeah.

597
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:11,500
Yeah.

598
00:25:11,566 --> 00:25:12,033
No, no, no.

599
00:25:12,099 --> 00:25:14,133
I was going to read Ephesians two.

600
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,133
Ephesians 2, because it talks about us being a building, right?

601
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,250
It says, now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and

602
00:25:20,266 --> 00:25:23,433
 foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household

603
00:25:23,450 --> 00:25:27,349
 of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.

604
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,516
Jesus Christ himself being the whole, being the

605
00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:33,833
 chief cornerstone in whom the whole building, being fitted together,

606
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:36,883
 grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also

607
00:25:36,883 --> 00:25:39,750
 are being built together for a dwelling place of God and the Spirit.

608
00:25:39,833 --> 00:25:40,599
Yeah, yeah.

609
00:25:40,666 --> 00:25:41,383
Amen.

610
00:25:41,450 --> 00:25:42,400
ties right in.

611
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,166
It does.

612
00:25:43,183 --> 00:25:44,016
It absolutely does.

613
00:25:44,083 --> 00:25:45,283
And Romans 11.

614
00:25:45,533 --> 00:25:46,599
Let's see.

615
00:25:46,666 --> 00:25:49,833
Oh yeah, I had a reference

616
00:25:49,849 --> 00:25:52,966
 here about Paul's talking about the

617
00:25:52,966 --> 00:25:54,583
 fullness of the Gentiles.

618
00:25:54,650 --> 00:25:56,266
And there's a fullness to the church.

619
00:25:56,333 --> 00:25:59,333
There's the last person that's going to get saved in that new

620
00:25:59,333 --> 00:26:00,650
 Jerusalem's at max capacity.

621
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:01,466
I see it.

622
00:26:01,549 --> 00:26:02,266
That's it, yeah.

623
00:26:02,383 --> 00:26:04,783
And things going to say is because God knows all this stuff.

624
00:26:04,783 --> 00:26:08,500
And he says it in Romans 11, 25.

625
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:12,099
He says, for I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery,

626
00:26:12,099 --> 00:26:15,400
 lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness

627
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,116
 in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

628
00:26:19,250 --> 00:26:22,116
And then he says, and so all Israel will be saved.

629
00:26:22,183 --> 00:26:22,950
That's right.

630
00:26:23,033 --> 00:26:23,450
That's right.

631
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:24,450
And this is his plan.

632
00:26:24,533 --> 00:26:26,799
And this is it coming to fruition, right?

633
00:26:26,866 --> 00:26:28,900
And like Tyler said, man.

634
00:26:28,966 --> 00:26:32,799
Jesus was the gospel before the gospel, we knew the gospel.

635
00:26:32,866 --> 00:26:35,616
I mean, the foundation's always been there.

636
00:26:35,683 --> 00:26:36,816
It's always been there.

637
00:26:36,883 --> 00:26:39,883
And that's why he told Peter upon this rock.

638
00:26:39,950 --> 00:26:42,883
Not upon you, the little stone, but upon me.

639
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:44,750
We will build the church.

640
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:46,833
Yeah, it reminds me of that Zach Williams song.

641
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:49,233
You were writing the pages before I had a name.

642
00:26:49,366 --> 00:26:51,216
Yeah, I needed grace.

643
00:26:51,283 --> 00:26:51,700
Amen.

644
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:52,049
Right?

645
00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:53,633
Praise the Lord.

646
00:26:53,683 --> 00:26:54,333
It was done.

647
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,233
Praise the Lord.

648
00:26:55,299 --> 00:26:56,433
There is no plan B.

649
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:57,216
No, that's right.

650
00:26:57,283 --> 00:26:57,700
That's right.

651
00:26:57,833 --> 00:26:58,033
Amen.

652
00:26:59,683 --> 00:27:00,016
14?

653
00:27:01,966 --> 00:27:02,733
All right.

654
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:03,400
All right.

655
00:27:03,466 --> 00:27:03,516
14.

656
00:27:04,666 --> 00:27:06,033
How far we want to go here?

657
00:27:06,099 --> 00:27:06,633
Let's see.

658
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:09,700
Now the wall of the city had 12 foundations and on them were the names

659
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:11,366
 of the 12 apostles of the lamb.

660
00:27:11,450 --> 00:27:15,283
So we kind of talked about that one already, I guess, right?

661
00:27:15,349 --> 00:27:16,483
You got some more notes on that?

662
00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:19,849
Uh, well, of course, the foundation

663
00:27:19,849 --> 00:27:23,516
 of the city is is, uh, 12 apostles,

664
00:27:23,783 --> 00:27:27,166
 because the church is, of course, built upon the foundation

665
00:27:27,166 --> 00:27:28,966
 that they laid, and that's what we've been talking about.

666
00:27:29,033 --> 00:27:32,450
Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.

667
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:34,766
Uh, feet.

668
00:27:34,849 --> 00:27:36,700
We read Ephesians 220, didn't we?

669
00:27:36,766 --> 00:27:37,233
Did you read that?

670
00:27:37,299 --> 00:27:38,133
Did you read?

671
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,733
Yes.

672
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:40,299
Yeah. 2, 19 to 22.

673
00:27:40,483 --> 00:27:40,833
Yeah, yeah.

674
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:41,433
Yeah, yeah.

675
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:44,666
So we know that, again, he's that chief cornerstone.

676
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:47,750
Christ, upon his

677
00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:50,866
 return to heaven committed the keys into

678
00:27:50,866 --> 00:27:53,083
 the keeping of the apostles, right?

679
00:27:53,150 --> 00:27:56,383
He gave he gave the keys to the to the apostles.

680
00:27:56,450 --> 00:27:58,066
Now, what is that key?

681
00:27:58,133 --> 00:27:58,849
That key is him.

682
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:00,150
The key is salvation, right?

683
00:28:00,233 --> 00:28:03,233
And now this was only on a

684
00:28:03,233 --> 00:28:06,533
 human level where they were responsible to

685
00:28:06,533 --> 00:28:07,900
 build the church, right?

686
00:28:07,966 --> 00:28:09,333
This was on a human level.

687
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,400
He took care of the spiritual stuff, but he said, hey, he said, I

688
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,533
 want you to build this church.

689
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:16,716
He said, I'll take care of all the all the big business.

690
00:28:16,783 --> 00:28:18,633
You take care of all the little business, right?

691
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:19,900
And he gave them the keys.

692
00:28:19,966 --> 00:28:22,066
And he said, here, he said, here's the key to it.

693
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:23,266
The key to it is the gospel.

694
00:28:23,333 --> 00:28:25,133
And that's what it's built upon.

695
00:28:25,183 --> 00:28:26,016
Amen.

696
00:28:26,083 --> 00:28:29,133
Acts chapter one, um,

697
00:28:29,150 --> 00:28:32,316
 and verse one and two, says

698
00:28:32,333 --> 00:28:35,633
 the former, the former treaties, have I made,

699
00:28:35,633 --> 00:28:38,799
 0 Theopolis, of all that Jesus began both

700
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:41,916
 to do and teach until the day in which he was taken up.

701
00:28:41,983 --> 00:28:45,033
After that, he through the Holy Ghost had

702
00:28:45,049 --> 00:28:48,766
 given commandments unto the apostles, whom he had chosen.

703
00:28:48,883 --> 00:28:52,349
So these 12 men were

704
00:28:52,366 --> 00:28:55,416
 committed to all the riding

705
00:28:55,433 --> 00:28:58,433
 of the church to taking care of these things

706
00:28:58,433 --> 00:29:00,583
 that we see here that we read.

707
00:29:00,650 --> 00:29:04,250
And they preach the 1st sermons,

708
00:29:04,250 --> 00:29:07,250
 they organize the 1st churches and

709
00:29:07,250 --> 00:29:10,250
 they were among the 1st martyrs that

710
00:29:10,250 --> 00:29:11,566
 we see here.

711
00:29:11,633 --> 00:29:14,866
So, man, what a legacy,

712
00:29:14,866 --> 00:29:17,866
 what a what a foundation, what a what

713
00:29:17,866 --> 00:29:22,233
 a sacrifice that they made for

714
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:23,266
 us, right?

715
00:29:23,333 --> 00:29:25,549
So that we know what to continue, right?

716
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:28,766
Because this foundation is still being

717
00:29:28,783 --> 00:29:29,916
 built, right?

718
00:29:29,983 --> 00:29:32,500
I mean, our foundation is on the apostles.

719
00:29:32,566 --> 00:29:35,566
And then our, you

720
00:29:35,566 --> 00:29:38,566
 know, it goes back to our ancestors that came after them, that came

721
00:29:38,566 --> 00:29:41,383
 after them, that came after them all the way up to us.

722
00:29:41,450 --> 00:29:44,566
And now we're continuing to stay on that same foundation so that

723
00:29:44,566 --> 00:29:48,466
 our children will have something substantial to stand upon.

724
00:29:48,533 --> 00:29:51,049
And that's super important that we get into this word.

725
00:29:51,099 --> 00:29:51,750
Yes.

726
00:29:51,766 --> 00:29:52,233
Right.

727
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:54,266
The foundation is right here.

728
00:29:54,349 --> 00:29:55,116
absolutely.

729
00:29:55,183 --> 00:29:55,833
Right here.

730
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:57,816
And so many people drift off the foundation.

731
00:29:57,883 --> 00:29:59,083
Yeah.

732
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,566
And it's dangerous.

733
00:30:00,650 --> 00:30:01,250
It is.

734
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:01,716
It is.

735
00:30:01,783 --> 00:30:02,616
How you mean?

736
00:30:02,683 --> 00:30:05,766
Well, I just, uh, we've

737
00:30:06,650 --> 00:30:09,883
 got church folks that are blowing up our phones right now and

738
00:30:09,883 --> 00:30:12,016
 I told them to turn a podcast on.

739
00:30:16,283 --> 00:30:18,466
Oh, they're they're talking softball, right?

740
00:30:18,533 --> 00:30:19,066
Oh, no.

741
00:30:19,133 --> 00:30:19,366
Okay.

742
00:30:19,433 --> 00:30:22,599
Hey, the

743
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:23,666
 link's on Facebook, guys.

744
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:25,250
That's funny.

745
00:30:25,366 --> 00:30:26,383
Stop blowing up my phone.

746
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:28,966
That's funny.

747
00:30:29,033 --> 00:30:31,433
All right, funny.

748
00:30:31,483 --> 00:30:32,616
All right, where are we, man?

749
00:30:32,683 --> 00:30:34,116
2115.

750
00:30:34,366 --> 00:30:34,599
15.

751
00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:34,766
15.

752
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,400
Uh, man.

753
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,950
Yep, 15, 16?

754
00:30:38,033 --> 00:30:38,983
You want to read those two?

755
00:30:39,049 --> 00:30:39,466
Yeah.

756
00:30:39,533 --> 00:30:42,650
And he who talked with me had a gold read to measure the city.

757
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:43,650
It's gates and its wall.

758
00:30:43,783 --> 00:30:45,933
The city is laid out as a square.

759
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,466
Its length is as great as its breadth, and he measured measured

760
00:30:49,483 --> 00:30:52,650
 the city with the reed. 12,000 furlongs.

761
00:30:52,733 --> 00:30:55,183
Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

762
00:30:55,250 --> 00:30:58,116
This thing is a monster, bro.

763
00:30:58,183 --> 00:30:59,133
Huge, huge.

764
00:30:59,150 --> 00:30:59,683
Huge.

765
00:30:59,750 --> 00:31:03,166
What, 1380 miles, I think, is 1400 miles.

766
00:31:03,233 --> 00:31:04,183
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

767
00:31:04,250 --> 00:31:07,599
And I've got 1,500 miles, somewhere in that in

768
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:08,966
 within 200 miles of that.

769
00:31:09,099 --> 00:31:10,950
on each side of the city.

770
00:31:11,033 --> 00:31:14,150
So it's width and it's depth and

771
00:31:14,150 --> 00:31:15,349
 it's height all the same.

772
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,049
Yes.

773
00:31:16,133 --> 00:31:16,849
Yeah, yeah.

774
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:18,099
It's a big giant cube.

775
00:31:18,233 --> 00:31:19,183
huge, isn't it?

776
00:31:19,250 --> 00:31:19,549
Yeah.

777
00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:20,250
Hey, check this out.

778
00:31:20,333 --> 00:31:21,283
Check this out.

779
00:31:21,349 --> 00:31:25,183
Texas is 773

780
00:31:25,183 --> 00:31:26,433
 miles wide at its widest point.

781
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:27,099
Yeah.

782
00:31:27,166 --> 00:31:29,200
This thing's twice as wide as Texas.

783
00:31:29,333 --> 00:31:29,799
Wow.

784
00:31:29,866 --> 00:31:30,016
Wow.

785
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:33,566
Yeah, twice as wide as Texas.

786
00:31:33,650 --> 00:31:37,299
And the heart of it takes it to low earth orbit satellites.

787
00:31:37,366 --> 00:31:37,900
Yes.

788
00:31:38,033 --> 00:31:38,500
Wow.

789
00:31:38,566 --> 00:31:40,533
15 hertz. miles high.

790
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:41,133
Wow.

791
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,849
And yeah, it's a 4 square, right?

792
00:31:44,933 --> 00:31:47,783
It's a shape, like you said, it's the shape of a cube.

793
00:31:48,099 --> 00:31:51,099
Yeah, there, you know, I've heard, I've heard some say that

794
00:31:51,099 --> 00:31:54,333
 they, that it could be a sphere, uh,

795
00:31:54,349 --> 00:31:57,516
 which, if I don't think so, but, but if it was in,

796
00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:01,900
 in, in that form of a sphere, the circumference

797
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:04,950
 would be 8,164 miles around.

798
00:32:05,033 --> 00:32:07,183
I heard somebody say it might be a pyramid.

799
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:08,016
Yeah, yeah.

800
00:32:08,083 --> 00:32:09,700
You still have that base.

801
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,200
You still have that base.

802
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:11,866
Yeah, I don't know.

803
00:32:11,983 --> 00:32:15,516
But anyway, but yeah, like you said, it's going to be huge.

804
00:32:15,583 --> 00:32:16,599
A monster.

805
00:32:16,666 --> 00:32:17,316
It's a monster.

806
00:32:17,450 --> 00:32:21,216
So Earth has got to look drastically different for to hold this.

807
00:32:21,283 --> 00:32:24,333
I mean, if you set it down right now in Texas and covering

808
00:32:24,349 --> 00:32:27,400
 New Mexico and Arizona and what else, this

809
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,633
 thing's out into outer space bumping into starlink satellites, you know?

810
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:31,833
Yeah, that's right.

811
00:32:31,966 --> 00:32:32,799
Oh, those are gone.

812
00:32:32,866 --> 00:32:33,933
Yeah, there you go.

813
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,099
Again, that's part of the worldwide well.

814
00:32:36,166 --> 00:32:37,183
Those are gone.

815
00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:40,299
You know, and in all honesty, for, I mean,

816
00:32:40,299 --> 00:32:41,849
 the way this is described.

817
00:32:41,933 --> 00:32:45,283
This could be an issue where if it was like, you know, for example,

818
00:32:45,283 --> 00:32:48,400
 a sphere or something, it would basically be like the moon with

819
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,349
 essentially a something connecting it to the earth is what you would look like.

820
00:32:52,433 --> 00:32:55,433
I mean, it would, you know, whatever it is, it's going to be

821
00:32:55,433 --> 00:32:56,866
 reaching out into space.

822
00:32:56,933 --> 00:33:00,099
It's going to be poking up off the earth and,

823
00:33:00,099 --> 00:33:01,466
 you know, however they're connected.

824
00:33:01,549 --> 00:33:04,783
I mean, yeah, honestly, I lean towards the pyramid kind

825
00:33:04,783 --> 00:33:08,250
 of idea there just because of the way it's described here.

826
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:11,333
It strikes me as something that's going to be a just massive

827
00:33:11,333 --> 00:33:14,383
 pyramid shape because you keep the square shape

828
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:17,683
 at the base and then it just makes its way up.

829
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:21,166
And then that also matches with kind of some theories

830
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:23,133
 on where the pyramids might have actually come from.

831
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,250
And I'm thinking, I'm thinking too,

832
00:33:26,266 --> 00:33:28,483
 that maybe the earth's going to be flat.

833
00:33:28,483 --> 00:33:30,450
Because if it's around, earth.

834
00:33:30,533 --> 00:33:34,433
This is going to take some of that rampness and one side's going to be higher than it is.

835
00:33:34,483 --> 00:33:35,083
Could be.

836
00:33:35,150 --> 00:33:35,799
Yeah, could be.

837
00:33:35,866 --> 00:33:37,066
Not now, but could be.

838
00:33:37,133 --> 00:33:39,466
And it would give off a lot to the whole world because this thing's clear.

839
00:33:39,533 --> 00:33:40,250
Yes.

840
00:33:40,299 --> 00:33:40,900
Yeah, right.

841
00:33:40,966 --> 00:33:41,916
I don't know.

842
00:33:41,983 --> 00:33:42,883
I don't know.

843
00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:45,950
Man, and gosh, I know

844
00:33:45,950 --> 00:33:49,116
 I'm probably going to get ahead of us here, but, but, um,

845
00:33:49,133 --> 00:33:52,966
 to think about, we're going to get to, we're going to get to Dwell in this place.

846
00:33:53,033 --> 00:33:55,966
We're going to get to, it's going to be, it's going to be ours, right?

847
00:33:56,033 --> 00:33:59,150
And we're going to have a room, a place, a dwelling

848
00:33:59,150 --> 00:34:00,283
 place within this, whatever.

849
00:34:00,349 --> 00:34:03,516
But we're also going

850
00:34:03,533 --> 00:34:04,849
 to get to enjoy the earth too.

851
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:05,500
Yeah.

852
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:08,500
I don't want you to think this, we're just going to be in this,

853
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:11,016
 this, this four square place and that's where we're going to be.

854
00:34:11,083 --> 00:34:14,916
We're going to have the ability to be wherever Jesus is.

855
00:34:14,983 --> 00:34:17,983
And so, you know, he's the god of

856
00:34:17,983 --> 00:34:19,050
 heaven and earth, right?

857
00:34:19,133 --> 00:34:21,766
And so those that are dwelling on the earth.

858
00:34:21,833 --> 00:34:22,433
He's their God.

859
00:34:22,483 --> 00:34:25,833
He's our God, and we're going to get to be, we're going to get to come down here.

860
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:26,733
We going to get to enjoy that.

861
00:34:26,866 --> 00:34:30,166
You know, I mean, we, listen, people

862
00:34:30,166 --> 00:34:31,366
 say, were you going to get to eat there?

863
00:34:31,433 --> 00:34:34,783
Yes, we're going to get to eat there because Jesus ate when he was resurrected.

864
00:34:34,849 --> 00:34:35,983
He ate when he was resurrected.

865
00:34:36,050 --> 00:34:38,266
He, you know, he said, we need to fix something to eat here.

866
00:34:38,266 --> 00:34:40,233
And he made them, you know, cooked them some fish.

867
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:43,900
We've got the marriage supper of

868
00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:44,966
 the lamb, right?

869
00:34:45,050 --> 00:34:48,816
I mean, yeah, there's there's trees with fruit on them, right?

870
00:34:48,883 --> 00:34:51,033
We've got the tree of life, right?

871
00:34:51,099 --> 00:34:54,150
I mean, yeah, food is,

872
00:34:54,166 --> 00:34:57,166
 but it's not going to be something that, that, that

873
00:34:57,166 --> 00:34:58,366
 takes us over.

874
00:34:58,433 --> 00:35:01,550
It's going to be something that we get to enjoy for eternity because

875
00:35:01,550 --> 00:35:04,599
 I don't, you know, can you imagine the things

876
00:35:04,599 --> 00:35:05,916
 that we love to taste now?

877
00:35:05,983 --> 00:35:07,599
How much better they're going to, man?

878
00:35:07,733 --> 00:35:10,783
You know, I heard somebody say the other day,

879
00:35:10,783 --> 00:35:13,949
 are we going to have, they asked the question.

880
00:35:14,033 --> 00:35:15,466
I was watching a podcast.

881
00:35:15,533 --> 00:35:18,583
I can't remember who the guy is, but anyway, he's a, he's a Bible teacher

882
00:35:18,583 --> 00:35:21,583
 and he was, and they ask him, what about me, you know,

883
00:35:21,583 --> 00:35:25,233
 because, because there's not going to be, there's not going to be any bloodshed, right?

884
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:28,650
There's no bloodshed in heaven or on earth at that time.

885
00:35:28,783 --> 00:35:32,133
And, you know, what if what animals are in are

886
00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:36,050
 on the earth if there are, you know, whatever they are, are

887
00:35:36,050 --> 00:35:39,283
 not, they're going to be gentle and, you know,

888
00:35:39,283 --> 00:35:41,383
 not going to be fighting against each other anymore.

889
00:35:41,449 --> 00:35:44,983
So, so, but listen, if God

890
00:35:44,983 --> 00:35:47,983
 wants to make something that tastes like a steak, he can make something tastes like

891
00:35:47,983 --> 00:35:49,949
 a steak, but he doesn't have to kill an animal, right?

892
00:35:50,033 --> 00:35:50,566
That's right.

893
00:35:50,683 --> 00:35:51,449
Yeah, that's right.

894
00:35:51,533 --> 00:35:51,699
Yeah.

895
00:35:51,766 --> 00:35:55,833
We are going to have everything we need and then some.

896
00:35:55,966 --> 00:35:58,966
And by the way, we

897
00:35:58,966 --> 00:36:02,500
 say that, you know, we're going to get to enjoy the city and we're going to get to enjoy the earth.

898
00:36:02,566 --> 00:36:05,383
Now, we're going to get to enjoy the universe.

899
00:36:05,449 --> 00:36:06,349
I love it, yeah.

900
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,366
Anywhere in the universe.

901
00:36:08,449 --> 00:36:10,066
Boom, we're this fire.

902
00:36:10,133 --> 00:36:12,533
This might be a case where the whole universe is the new earth.

903
00:36:12,583 --> 00:36:13,533
Is the new earth.

904
00:36:13,666 --> 00:36:14,983
Yeah, it encompasses air.

905
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:16,183
You know, it could be big.

906
00:36:16,250 --> 00:36:19,599
Yeah, it might not be several planets in a sun and all that stuff.

907
00:36:19,666 --> 00:36:20,616
We don't need a sun.

908
00:36:20,683 --> 00:36:21,216
Yeah.

909
00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:21,833
That's right.

910
00:36:21,883 --> 00:36:22,300
Yep, Yep.

911
00:36:22,366 --> 00:36:22,833
Exactly.

912
00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:25,949
I mean, I mean, yeah, because when he says making it new, I

913
00:36:25,966 --> 00:36:29,083
 mean, the, everything that we have learned

914
00:36:29,083 --> 00:36:32,500
 since the creation of, uh, that since since

915
00:36:32,500 --> 00:36:35,616
 we've been on this earth, everything that we've learned, everything that we've figured out how things work,

916
00:36:35,633 --> 00:36:37,849
 all that, all of it goes out the window at this point.

917
00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:38,800
physics is done.

918
00:36:38,866 --> 00:36:39,333
It's new.

919
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,466
Yeah, it's new.

920
00:36:40,550 --> 00:36:44,449
It, it, it's new, so it, it, maybe it's gonna be the same.

921
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:45,099
Maybe it's not.

922
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:45,699
We don't know.

923
00:36:45,766 --> 00:36:48,766
We, we literally have no way

924
00:36:48,766 --> 00:36:52,066
 to describe other than just what John sees here.

925
00:36:52,066 --> 00:36:55,783
And and bear in mind that John is,

926
00:36:55,783 --> 00:36:59,133
 even witnessing this, he's still having to translate this back into something he

927
00:36:59,150 --> 00:37:02,266
 can understand in his human body at the time he was, he was.

928
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:05,333
I mean, if there were all kinds of

929
00:37:05,333 --> 00:37:06,466
 stuff going on.

930
00:37:06,533 --> 00:37:08,633
How would he have described?

931
00:37:08,683 --> 00:37:11,983
Well, people were there and

932
00:37:11,983 --> 00:37:15,150
 they were going from one ball that

933
00:37:15,166 --> 00:37:18,583
 was floating in this, in this sea of,

934
00:37:18,583 --> 00:37:22,233
 of nothing to another ball floating, sea

935
00:37:22,250 --> 00:37:25,666
 of, and it's all in God's presence, and, and the light shining

936
00:37:25,666 --> 00:37:28,666
 and covering all of it, and, and they just go from one to the

937
00:37:28,666 --> 00:37:31,716
 other, and then, and then they're on this thing, and then they're going from one part

938
00:37:31,733 --> 00:37:35,633
 of the earth, the other, and bear in mind, John probably did think the earth was flat.

939
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:38,616
They didn't know that they didn't know it was a spear.

940
00:37:38,683 --> 00:37:39,449
Yeah, it didn't.

941
00:37:39,533 --> 00:37:42,766
I mean, the earth to them was a, you know, a few 1000 square

942
00:37:42,766 --> 00:37:43,783
 miles and that was it.

943
00:37:43,849 --> 00:37:44,383
They didn't.

944
00:37:44,449 --> 00:37:47,683
So when he's seeing this, this is already blowing 1500

945
00:37:47,683 --> 00:37:49,783
 miles tall and he's going, huh?

946
00:37:49,849 --> 00:37:50,750
And here's something really cool.

947
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,233
God ain't got no budget.

948
00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:53,250
No, exactly.

949
00:37:53,333 --> 00:37:54,833
No, he does.

950
00:37:55,283 --> 00:37:55,666
No.

951
00:37:55,733 --> 00:37:57,583
He thinks that and it's there, right?

952
00:37:57,650 --> 00:37:59,449
He can't imagine it into existence.

953
00:37:59,566 --> 00:38:02,616
And, you know, I'm sitting here thinking too, because all the

954
00:38:02,633 --> 00:38:06,283
 all the people that, I mean, during that

955
00:38:06,283 --> 00:38:09,283
 1000 year millennial rain, I mean, the

956
00:38:09,283 --> 00:38:13,650
 population explosion is going to be unreal, unreal,

957
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:16,666
 because you think about a 1000 years with no sickness

958
00:38:16,666 --> 00:38:19,900
 or anything, you know, no dying during that

959
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:22,949
 time and people are just being boomed, boring, boring, boring.

960
00:38:23,033 --> 00:38:26,033
So I don't know how much the earth will populate

961
00:38:26,033 --> 00:38:28,250
 during during that 1000 year reign.

962
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:31,949
Now, I don't know how many either will be taken

963
00:38:31,966 --> 00:38:35,133
 out or will decide to go with Satan at

964
00:38:35,150 --> 00:38:36,699
 the end of that thing a 1000 years either.

965
00:38:36,766 --> 00:38:38,266
So I don't know what'll be left.

966
00:38:38,333 --> 00:38:39,583
You know, he doesn't give us.

967
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:41,683
It's funny that it's kind of a gap, right?

968
00:38:41,750 --> 00:38:45,516
He gives us, he gives us sizes of of everything, right?

969
00:38:45,583 --> 00:38:47,983
I mean, of what this what this is going to be like.

970
00:38:48,050 --> 00:38:51,699
He tells us at the beginning of tribulation.

971
00:38:51,833 --> 00:38:55,783
you know, you're going to have a quarter die here, a 3rd of the world die here.

972
00:38:55,849 --> 00:38:58,849
And so we can, we can take what we know as

973
00:38:58,849 --> 00:39:02,983
 the population right now and we can go through until

974
00:39:02,983 --> 00:39:05,983
 the end of that 7 years and we can kind of figure out how many

975
00:39:05,983 --> 00:39:09,883
 people are left within a, you know, certain amount.

976
00:39:09,949 --> 00:39:13,250
Uh, but we have no idea with

977
00:39:13,250 --> 00:39:14,866
 a population being that's going to take place.

978
00:39:14,933 --> 00:39:19,733
So people are going to survive the millennium as

979
00:39:19,733 --> 00:39:22,783
 probably quite a few righteous people that don't

980
00:39:22,783 --> 00:39:24,283
 get wiped out with Satan, right?

981
00:39:24,349 --> 00:39:24,699
Yeah.

982
00:39:24,699 --> 00:39:26,250
And they're going to pass...

983
00:39:26,266 --> 00:39:29,866
I guess they won't go through the great white throne.

984
00:39:29,933 --> 00:39:31,483
They'll go to this new heavens and new earth.

985
00:39:31,550 --> 00:39:32,316
Yeah, yeah.

986
00:39:32,449 --> 00:39:34,000
Populate the new head.

987
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:34,349
That's it.

988
00:39:34,366 --> 00:39:35,133
Our new earth.

989
00:39:35,199 --> 00:39:35,733
Yeah.

990
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,916
And somehow they're going to have to have a, you know,

991
00:39:38,933 --> 00:39:42,099
 at some point in time, some type of new body,

992
00:39:42,099 --> 00:39:45,150
 some type of eternal body too, you know, or

993
00:39:45,166 --> 00:39:48,333
 either just the fact that Jesus is raining and there's no sin,

994
00:39:48,349 --> 00:39:49,366
 they won't have to worry about it.

995
00:39:49,433 --> 00:39:51,833
I don't know how that's going to work, you know?

996
00:39:51,883 --> 00:39:55,300
I mean, honestly, my,

997
00:39:55,300 --> 00:39:58,349
 my whole belief on that has always been that, um,

998
00:39:58,366 --> 00:40:01,533
 that anybody that made it through at this point, when

999
00:40:01,550 --> 00:40:03,699
 everything's made new, they just get new.

1000
00:40:03,699 --> 00:40:05,666
Yeah, they're making, I think they're just part of it.

1001
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:09,166
Well, and you got, you know, because it says all things new.

1002
00:40:09,233 --> 00:40:10,483
So, yeah, it's a good point.

1003
00:40:10,550 --> 00:40:11,199
Good point.

1004
00:40:11,266 --> 00:40:13,066
Now, and people ask about the animals.

1005
00:40:13,133 --> 00:40:14,449
It's same animals we got right now.

1006
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:16,716
Plus a whole bunch that died out a long time ago.

1007
00:40:16,783 --> 00:40:19,116
All those dinosaurs, guess what?

1008
00:40:19,183 --> 00:40:19,949
We going to get to see them.

1009
00:40:20,083 --> 00:40:23,383
All the various things that have gone extinct

1010
00:40:23,383 --> 00:40:26,383
 over the last couple 1000 years that things have been dying out at

1011
00:40:26,383 --> 00:40:28,900
 a crazy fast rate, which is very telling.

1012
00:40:28,966 --> 00:40:32,733
Again, just the earth groaning.

1013
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,216
But, you know, all these things that have gone out, gone extinct

1014
00:40:36,233 --> 00:40:39,233
 that we, we've never, that most of us have never laid eyes on.

1015
00:40:39,283 --> 00:40:42,333
We might have seen pictures of them in a book that somebody drew or maybe

1016
00:40:42,349 --> 00:40:45,466
 if they were around in the 1800s, somebody might have captured a

1017
00:40:45,466 --> 00:40:48,583
 picture of it, but a lot of this stuff, it's just gone.

1018
00:40:48,650 --> 00:40:50,083
it's gonna be there.

1019
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:52,900
I mean, everything that God created back at the beginning.

1020
00:40:52,966 --> 00:40:55,183
It's all going to be there because he's making it all new.

1021
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:58,349
We're going to get to see these things and they're going to, it's basically

1022
00:40:58,366 --> 00:41:01,416
 the whole world with way more people

1023
00:41:01,433 --> 00:41:04,483
 in the same state things were at the beginning of

1024
00:41:04,483 --> 00:41:05,800
 the garden of Eden before the fall.

1025
00:41:05,866 --> 00:41:07,966
That's the state that everything's going to be in.

1026
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:11,033
So a lot of people look at it and go, oh, man, we're talking about creatures

1027
00:41:11,033 --> 00:41:13,483
 with these giant teeth and you think they're not going to be eating me?

1028
00:41:13,550 --> 00:41:13,716
Yeah.

1029
00:41:13,783 --> 00:41:15,633
No, they're going to they're going to be out there chomping on plants.

1030
00:41:15,699 --> 00:41:18,099
If you're saints, you ain't got to worry about it anyway.

1031
00:41:18,166 --> 00:41:19,533
Yeah, they're not going to be attacking us.

1032
00:41:19,666 --> 00:41:21,333
You can lay them down.

1033
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:21,866
That's right

1034
00:41:22,066 --> 00:41:23,016
That's right.

1035
00:41:23,083 --> 00:41:26,383
Oh, can you imagine playing

1036
00:41:26,383 --> 00:41:28,716
 getting to play fetch with a T-Rex?

1037
00:41:28,783 --> 00:41:33,266
Go for it, Fado.

1038
00:41:33,533 --> 00:41:34,483
You can throw a T-Rex.

1039
00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:35,016
Yeah.

1040
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:36,016
Yeah.

1041
00:41:39,833 --> 00:41:41,683
Yep, just move it out of my way.

1042
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:42,400
Yeah.

1043
00:41:42,466 --> 00:41:44,433
All right.

1044
00:41:44,500 --> 00:41:44,966
Where are we at?

1045
00:41:45,050 --> 00:41:46,900
We are at 17.

1046
00:41:47,083 --> 00:41:47,683
17?

1047
00:41:47,683 --> 00:41:48,633
17, 18?

1048
00:41:48,699 --> 00:41:49,533
read those two?

1049
00:41:49,666 --> 00:41:53,383
And he measured the wall thereof in 140

1050
00:41:53,383 --> 00:41:56,383
 and 4 cubits according to the measure of a

1051
00:41:56,383 --> 00:41:59,383
 man, that is, of the angel, and the

1052
00:41:59,383 --> 00:42:02,550
 building of the wall of it was Jasper,

1053
00:42:02,566 --> 00:42:05,566
 and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

1054
00:42:05,633 --> 00:42:08,683
Gosh, I mean, the walls

1055
00:42:08,683 --> 00:42:12,750
 will be a symbol of a piece, a symbol of protection.

1056
00:42:12,766 --> 00:42:16,066
We'll have throughout all eternity.

1057
00:42:16,133 --> 00:42:17,983
I mean, nothing can penetrate that.

1058
00:42:18,099 --> 00:42:21,933
The measurement of the high through that wall, 216 feet.

1059
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,199
Just the thickness of it, right?

1060
00:42:23,266 --> 00:42:24,583
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1061
00:42:24,650 --> 00:42:26,316
Well, high...

1062
00:42:26,383 --> 00:42:28,050
Well, yeah, that may be the thickness of it.

1063
00:42:28,133 --> 00:42:31,550
Yeah, the, uh, 216 feet.

1064
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:32,550
Yeah.

1065
00:42:32,633 --> 00:42:33,166
Yeah.

1066
00:42:33,233 --> 00:42:36,166
I did a water slide around that size before.

1067
00:42:36,233 --> 00:42:37,183
And I did not enjoy that.

1068
00:42:37,250 --> 00:42:39,099
And this wall is that thick.

1069
00:42:39,166 --> 00:42:43,783
Well, it's got to be pretty thick to hold up 1,300 and something.

1070
00:42:43,849 --> 00:42:44,616
Yeah.

1071
00:42:44,683 --> 00:42:46,116
1500 miles worth of wall.

1072
00:42:46,183 --> 00:42:47,433
Yeah, 1500 high.

1073
00:42:48,349 --> 00:42:49,966
Who get the carpenters for Christ?

1074
00:42:50,083 --> 00:42:51,516
Yeah, exactly.

1075
00:42:51,583 --> 00:42:51,766
Exactly.

1076
00:42:53,333 --> 00:42:56,633
God has got no budget.

1077
00:42:56,683 --> 00:42:57,333
That's right.

1078
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,050
That's right.

1079
00:42:58,183 --> 00:43:01,183
And, you know, it's man, it's going to

1080
00:43:01,183 --> 00:43:04,783
 be, gosh, it's just going to be built for its beauty, right?

1081
00:43:04,849 --> 00:43:06,099
And it's transparent.

1082
00:43:06,166 --> 00:43:06,699
It is.

1083
00:43:06,766 --> 00:43:07,300
It is.

1084
00:43:07,366 --> 00:43:07,599
Yeah.

1085
00:43:07,666 --> 00:43:08,383
How does it go?

1086
00:43:08,449 --> 00:43:10,066
Gold that's transparent.

1087
00:43:10,133 --> 00:43:12,466
So pure, it's transparent.

1088
00:43:12,533 --> 00:43:12,833
Yeah.

1089
00:43:12,833 --> 00:43:14,683
That's the street that we're going to read about.

1090
00:43:14,750 --> 00:43:17,916
So that's an actual thing that

1091
00:43:17,933 --> 00:43:21,233
 if you get gold and you can basically sublimate

1092
00:43:21,233 --> 00:43:25,433
 it, if you remove all of the impurities and you put it in a vacuum.

1093
00:43:25,483 --> 00:43:27,150
No, not, not here.

1094
00:43:27,233 --> 00:43:30,233
But you can, they can do that with it,

1095
00:43:30,233 --> 00:43:33,533
 and it ends up being like a sheet of glass, basically, in its

1096
00:43:33,533 --> 00:43:36,099
 purest form with all impurities removed.

1097
00:43:36,166 --> 00:43:40,233
The problem is the minute you, it touches atmosphere, it's gone.

1098
00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:41,199
It stops being that way.

1099
00:43:41,266 --> 00:43:42,699
It starts decaying and destroying.

1100
00:43:42,766 --> 00:43:46,183
But yeah, that's actually a thing that is,

1101
00:43:46,183 --> 00:43:49,783
 it's interesting, by the way, because, again, going

1102
00:43:49,783 --> 00:43:53,733
 back to people that like to think we came up with all this, for a

1103
00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:56,316
 long time, they thought this was just a hyperbole, it was impossible.

1104
00:43:56,383 --> 00:43:59,383
And then some scientists found out, no, you put it in a vacuum, you

1105
00:43:59,383 --> 00:44:02,500
 do the right thing, so you can actually make gold that's perfectly transparent,

1106
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:05,550
 and it's still gold, and it's got nothing else in it, and it's

1107
00:44:05,566 --> 00:44:06,816
 like, I'm sorry, what?

1108
00:44:06,883 --> 00:44:10,650
And not only did they do it as a mental experiment, they tried it, and it worked.

1109
00:44:10,666 --> 00:44:13,783
And they couldn't keep it for long because like I say, the minute the seal

1110
00:44:13,783 --> 00:44:15,216
 breaks, it's gone.

1111
00:44:15,349 --> 00:44:18,516
But it, this is something John

1112
00:44:18,949 --> 00:44:20,750
 wrote this 2000 years ago, guys.

1113
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,366
And it's still going to rest, it's going to retain its strength.

1114
00:44:23,449 --> 00:44:25,716
It's beauty and everything.

1115
00:44:25,783 --> 00:44:27,633
I mean, it's, yeah.

1116
00:44:27,650 --> 00:44:30,650
And somehow, some, and that

1117
00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:33,650
 just goes to show, by the way, the purity of the universe

1118
00:44:33,650 --> 00:44:37,183
 at this point, the fact this stuff is sitting outside and

1119
00:44:37,183 --> 00:44:38,616
 it's staying staying in this form.

1120
00:44:38,683 --> 00:44:41,849
And like I say, at the time John wrote

1121
00:44:41,866 --> 00:44:44,383
 this, he didn't understand what was being revealed to him there.

1122
00:44:44,449 --> 00:44:46,183
Now we know.

1123
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:48,050
Oh, that's pure, pure.

1124
00:44:48,099 --> 00:44:48,633
Yeah.

1125
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:51,466
It's going to, it's going to be,

1126
00:44:51,533 --> 00:44:53,566
I think again, you know, he's the light.

1127
00:44:53,633 --> 00:44:55,433
We're going to see that coming up.

1128
00:44:55,483 --> 00:44:55,833
Yes.

1129
00:44:55,849 --> 00:44:58,900
But he's the light of the whole world and he's shining through

1130
00:44:58,900 --> 00:45:02,849
 these pure gold, transparent walls.

1131
00:45:03,099 --> 00:45:03,400
Yeah.

1132
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,666
And I think I think it's gonna, it's gonna just...

1133
00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:06,216
It's going to

1134
00:45:06,466 --> 00:45:07,599
Yeah, it's going to magnify the lot.

1135
00:45:07,666 --> 00:45:08,983
We're just like through the blacks.

1136
00:45:09,050 --> 00:45:10,900
It's full in instead of SU.

1137
00:45:10,966 --> 00:45:11,383
That's right.

1138
00:45:11,449 --> 00:45:11,800
right.

1139
00:45:11,866 --> 00:45:14,916
And not only that, I think that

1140
00:45:14,933 --> 00:45:18,166
 this is going to be magnifying it to the point that, again, going

1141
00:45:18,166 --> 00:45:21,466
 back and reading just the way all this is described, this

1142
00:45:21,466 --> 00:45:22,533
 is seen from everywhere.

1143
00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:25,599
Not just the earth, everything outside the earth, all of

1144
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:28,349
 heaven, all of the universe can see this shining out.

1145
00:45:28,433 --> 00:45:30,833
Yeah, and this is I hath not seen, right?

1146
00:45:30,883 --> 00:45:31,416
Yeah.

1147
00:45:31,483 --> 00:45:34,533
I mean, we, we, this is stuff that we can't, we can't even

1148
00:45:34,550 --> 00:45:36,166
 imagine what it would be like.

1149
00:45:36,233 --> 00:45:39,349
I mean, we can sit here and read this description,

1150
00:45:39,349 --> 00:45:43,483
 but it doesn't even our finite minds can't even begin to comprehend it.

1151
00:45:43,550 --> 00:45:45,650
No, no.

1152
00:45:45,699 --> 00:45:49,766
I say, it's only been within the last 20 years, they even knew that gold could be that could be clear.

1153
00:45:49,849 --> 00:45:50,916
Oh, yeah.

1154
00:45:50,933 --> 00:45:52,183
It's going to be awesome.

1155
00:45:52,250 --> 00:45:53,916
It's amazing.

1156
00:45:53,983 --> 00:45:56,916
I'm going to stumble through these.

1157
00:45:56,983 --> 00:45:58,116
Yeah, of course.

1158
00:45:58,133 --> 00:46:00,400
I'm going to go through 20, 21.

1159
00:46:00,650 --> 00:46:01,250
is that all right, 20?

1160
00:46:01,366 --> 00:46:01,833
Yeah that's good.

1161
00:46:01,900 --> 00:46:02,666
Let's see.

1162
00:46:02,750 --> 00:46:05,800
The foundations of the wall of the city were

1163
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,250
 adorned with all kinds of precious stones.

1164
00:46:08,333 --> 00:46:12,099
The 1st foundation was jasper, the 2nd sapphire,

1165
00:46:12,099 --> 00:46:15,266
 the 3rd chalcedony, the 4th emerald,

1166
00:46:15,533 --> 00:46:18,650
 the 5th sardonyx, the 6th Sardius, the

1167
00:46:18,650 --> 00:46:21,699
 7th chrysolite, the 8th barrel, the ninth

1168
00:46:21,699 --> 00:46:24,933
 topaz, the 10th cruciprase, the 11th

1169
00:46:24,949 --> 00:46:27,216
 jacinth, and the 12th amethyst.

1170
00:46:27,233 --> 00:46:29,500
The 12 gates were 12 pearls.

1171
00:46:29,566 --> 00:46:32,566
Each individual gate was of one pearl,

1172
00:46:32,566 --> 00:46:36,166
 and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

1173
00:46:36,233 --> 00:46:39,233
So I know I bombed some of those, but

1174
00:46:39,233 --> 00:46:42,283
 that is some huge pearls, but this is this

1175
00:46:42,833 --> 00:46:45,400
 is Jeweler John here kicked into action, man.

1176
00:46:45,466 --> 00:46:46,900
Yeah, yeah.

1177
00:46:46,966 --> 00:46:50,683
And and we got, I mean, so Jasper's clear in color.

1178
00:46:50,750 --> 00:46:53,016
Sciphire is blue in color.

1179
00:46:53,083 --> 00:46:57,816
Uh, the uh, calcidine, uh,

1180
00:46:57,833 --> 00:46:59,266
 is greenish in color.

1181
00:46:59,333 --> 00:47:02,383
Emerald is its

1182
00:47:02,383 --> 00:47:03,883
 color is green, of course.

1183
00:47:03,949 --> 00:47:07,783
Uh, the, the sardonyx, or Sardius,

1184
00:47:07,783 --> 00:47:10,949
 uh, the Sardius, uh, is a fiery

1185
00:47:10,966 --> 00:47:14,433
 red in color, crystallite, uh,

1186
00:47:14,449 --> 00:47:17,916
 is uh, uh, the golden yellow,

1187
00:47:17,933 --> 00:47:21,699
 barrel is sea green, topaz is a greenish yellow.

1188
00:47:21,766 --> 00:47:26,316
Uh, chrysopophus, chrysoprasis,

1189
00:47:26,333 --> 00:47:27,949
 uh, is a gold green.

1190
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,066
There's a lot of green in here.

1191
00:47:29,150 --> 00:47:30,166
A lot of green.

1192
00:47:30,233 --> 00:47:31,000
I was noticing that.

1193
00:47:31,066 --> 00:47:31,666
A lot of green.

1194
00:47:31,733 --> 00:47:34,849
Jason, Jason is violet and

1195
00:47:34,849 --> 00:47:36,583
 amethyst is purple.

1196
00:47:36,650 --> 00:47:40,849
And that, uh, by the way, the uh, Sardonyx and

1197
00:47:40,849 --> 00:47:44,016
 Sardis, the uh, the modern translation

1198
00:47:44,033 --> 00:47:46,533
 for uh, Sardius is uh, carnelians.

1199
00:47:47,683 --> 00:47:51,099
So that's that blood red, uh, not quite a root,

1200
00:47:51,099 --> 00:47:54,099
 it's not a ruby color of red, but it's a blood red, beautiful, beautiful

1201
00:47:54,099 --> 00:47:55,716
 red if you've ever seen one of those.

1202
00:47:55,849 --> 00:47:58,366
And sardonyx, it's just onyx.

1203
00:47:58,433 --> 00:48:02,383
So it's actually a very dark, various

1204
00:48:02,383 --> 00:48:06,216
 colors, but usually it's a blackish or a red tint to it.

1205
00:48:06,283 --> 00:48:10,300
It took me back to Revelation four, verse three.

1206
00:48:10,366 --> 00:48:13,000
And it said the one sitting on the throne.

1207
00:48:13,066 --> 00:48:16,233
It said, and he who sat there was like a jasper and

1208
00:48:16,250 --> 00:48:19,250
 a sardia stone in appearance and there was a rainbow around the throne

1209
00:48:19,250 --> 00:48:20,566
 in appearance like an emerald.

1210
00:48:20,633 --> 00:48:21,466
Was that green?

1211
00:48:21,533 --> 00:48:22,133
Again, green.

1212
00:48:22,183 --> 00:48:22,533
Right?

1213
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:25,650
And I think I think of spring, I think, green, and I think live.

1214
00:48:25,733 --> 00:48:26,866
Right.

1215
00:48:26,866 --> 00:48:28,783
Life and new and...

1216
00:48:28,849 --> 00:48:29,449
Oh, man.

1217
00:48:29,500 --> 00:48:30,216
Yeah, yeah.

1218
00:48:30,283 --> 00:48:30,750
Beautiful.

1219
00:48:30,833 --> 00:48:31,366
Beautiful.

1220
00:48:31,433 --> 00:48:32,449
Love it.

1221
00:48:32,500 --> 00:48:33,866
Pearly gates.

1222
00:48:33,949 --> 00:48:35,750
Pearly gates.

1223
00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:37,250
And a street, right?

1224
00:48:37,250 --> 00:48:40,000
Not mini streets, but one street.

1225
00:48:40,066 --> 00:48:43,300
Can I point out that the number of times I have read

1226
00:48:43,300 --> 00:48:46,833
 this passage of scripture, and somehow,

1227
00:48:46,849 --> 00:48:49,849
 for 30 years, I have

1228
00:48:49,849 --> 00:48:52,900
 missed every single gate was of one

1229
00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:53,966
 pearl.

1230
00:48:54,050 --> 00:48:56,683
It's not a series of pearls.

1231
00:48:56,750 --> 00:49:00,166
It is a solid pearl that this gate has been carved into.

1232
00:49:00,233 --> 00:49:02,150
You got to imagine it's big.

1233
00:49:02,199 --> 00:49:03,216
Imagine clam.

1234
00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:04,716
That's what I was about to say.

1235
00:49:04,783 --> 00:49:06,516
Can you think about the clam that gave us that thing?

1236
00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:08,083
a killer clam.

1237
00:49:08,150 --> 00:49:08,449
Yeah.

1238
00:49:08,449 --> 00:49:10,300
But man.

1239
00:49:10,366 --> 00:49:13,300
But I can't I can't fathom it.

1240
00:49:13,366 --> 00:49:16,416
And again, these gold streets are

1241
00:49:16,433 --> 00:49:19,300
 transparent that we're walking on, right?

1242
00:49:19,366 --> 00:49:20,683
It's like we're walking on air.

1243
00:49:20,750 --> 00:49:21,949
Yeah, what's under them?

1244
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:22,466
Yeah.

1245
00:49:22,550 --> 00:49:26,800
Fire or something, probably, you know, just something awesome,

1246
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,050
 something beautiful, you know?

1247
00:49:28,183 --> 00:49:28,949
I think it's in layers.

1248
00:49:29,033 --> 00:49:29,983
Yeah.

1249
00:49:29,983 --> 00:49:30,933
You got levels of it.

1250
00:49:31,066 --> 00:49:33,516
So you're walking and you're looking straight down, you see all the people under you.

1251
00:49:33,583 --> 00:49:36,699
You're just walking on clear gold colored air.

1252
00:49:36,766 --> 00:49:38,083
That's the whole city.

1253
00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:39,583
The whole city's gone, right?

1254
00:49:39,650 --> 00:49:41,150
you know, so the whole thing's transparent.

1255
00:49:41,199 --> 00:49:44,199
It's just up there and you're seeing through it and you're seeing all

1256
00:49:44,199 --> 00:49:47,250
 these gold and red and all these colors of these gates and

1257
00:49:47,266 --> 00:49:49,666
 it's just like it's floating there.

1258
00:49:49,733 --> 00:49:51,583
I mean, it's just suspended.

1259
00:49:51,650 --> 00:49:54,949
Yeah, I, I, man, that's, that's crazy.

1260
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:55,466
That's crazy.

1261
00:49:55,550 --> 00:49:58,716
I'm going to go ahead and say that the colors that

1262
00:49:58,733 --> 00:50:02,150
 you would see out of this, because you're basically talking about a giant prism

1263
00:50:02,150 --> 00:50:05,566
 at this point with that clear gold and the light shining

1264
00:50:05,566 --> 00:50:06,883
 through it, it's going to be refracting.

1265
00:50:06,949 --> 00:50:08,316
It's gonna be doing wild things.

1266
00:50:08,383 --> 00:50:11,383
And then it's also reflecting off all these stones.

1267
00:50:11,449 --> 00:50:15,216
Man, that is going to be just the most

1268
00:50:15,233 --> 00:50:17,333
 wild looking light show.

1269
00:50:17,383 --> 00:50:19,716
It will, and it'd be like a rainbow too, right?

1270
00:50:19,783 --> 00:50:21,449
Because they'll have all those colors in there.

1271
00:50:21,533 --> 00:50:25,133
you know, and then they'll be just shining together in that.

1272
00:50:25,183 --> 00:50:27,633
Pure white light coming from the Lord.

1273
00:50:27,699 --> 00:50:28,516
Wow.

1274
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,516
I mean,

1275
00:50:33,533 --> 00:50:34,733
 I can't imagine.

1276
00:50:34,783 --> 00:50:35,733
I can't imagine.

1277
00:50:35,933 --> 00:50:37,849
can't imagine John's mind when he sees all this stuff.

1278
00:50:37,900 --> 00:50:39,216
I know.

1279
00:50:39,283 --> 00:50:42,333
To get to to get to see that and and then to try

1280
00:50:42,349 --> 00:50:45,650
 to write it down and make it make it make sense and

1281
00:50:45,650 --> 00:50:48,699
 and bring it justice like,

1282
00:50:48,699 --> 00:50:49,833
 why are you doing this to me, Lord?

1283
00:50:49,900 --> 00:50:50,916
I just want to see it.

1284
00:50:50,983 --> 00:50:54,333
Don't make me write it down because I'll never be able to write it down and give it justice.

1285
00:50:54,466 --> 00:50:55,966
Hit me, whole spirit.

1286
00:50:56,033 --> 00:50:57,166
Yeah.

1287
00:50:57,166 --> 00:50:57,516
Yeah.

1288
00:50:57,533 --> 00:50:58,966
I got to ask him.

1289
00:50:59,033 --> 00:50:59,750
Yep, yep.

1290
00:50:59,750 --> 00:51:01,550
That's right.

1291
00:51:01,599 --> 00:51:02,800
Poor old John.

1292
00:51:02,866 --> 00:51:03,699
So they're going more.

1293
00:51:03,766 --> 00:51:04,483
I don't know what to say

1294
00:51:04,666 --> 00:51:06,033
Give me the words.

1295
00:51:06,099 --> 00:51:09,449
So every time I preach, oh, please give me his words.

1296
00:51:09,583 --> 00:51:10,000
Yes.

1297
00:51:10,066 --> 00:51:10,766
Amen.

1298
00:51:11,283 --> 00:51:11,866
Amen.

1299
00:51:11,866 --> 00:51:12,333
Amen.

1300
00:51:12,466 --> 00:51:15,633
Uh, 22, 23.

1301
00:51:15,883 --> 00:51:18,933
Uh, and I saw no temple there in

1302
00:51:18,949 --> 00:51:21,949
 for the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are

1303
00:51:21,949 --> 00:51:23,150
 the temple of it.

1304
00:51:23,199 --> 00:51:27,216
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon.

1305
00:51:27,283 --> 00:51:32,616
To shine

1306
00:51:32,633 --> 00:51:34,900
 on it for the glory of God.

1307
00:51:34,966 --> 00:51:35,683
Amen.

1308
00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:39,650
Dead light in it and the lamb is the light thereof.

1309
00:51:39,766 --> 00:51:43,016
No need for a physical temple because

1310
00:51:43,733 --> 00:51:46,666
 Christ himself will be our worship place, right?

1311
00:51:46,733 --> 00:51:48,349
We're worshiping in his presence.

1312
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,750
God here is present

1313
00:51:51,766 --> 00:51:54,099
 and sin is absent.

1314
00:51:54,166 --> 00:51:56,433
You know, uh, uh,

1315
00:51:57,650 --> 00:52:01,483
And this new city is in the same shape as the holy of holies.

1316
00:52:01,783 --> 00:52:04,250
Uh, and that's that, that's no accident.

1317
00:52:04,300 --> 00:52:04,766
Right?

1318
00:52:04,849 --> 00:52:05,316
That's right.

1319
00:52:05,449 --> 00:52:05,800
That's right.

1320
00:52:05,866 --> 00:52:07,116
So it couldn't be a pyramid, right?

1321
00:52:07,183 --> 00:52:09,283
Holies was like a tower.

1322
00:52:09,349 --> 00:52:09,583
Oh yeah?

1323
00:52:09,650 --> 00:52:10,000
Yeah, yeah.

1324
00:52:10,066 --> 00:52:11,566
Oh yeah, that's true.

1325
00:52:11,633 --> 00:52:12,283
Yeah, that's true.

1326
00:52:12,349 --> 00:52:15,400
But the place where we'll come into the mighty

1327
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,216
 presence of God, just like they did into the holy of holies.

1328
00:52:18,283 --> 00:52:21,633
Oh my gosh, our relationship with God,

1329
00:52:21,650 --> 00:52:24,650
 the Father, and God, the Son, they have,

1330
00:52:24,650 --> 00:52:26,866
 they've drastically changed, haven't they?

1331
00:52:26,933 --> 00:52:28,433
I mean, man.

1332
00:52:29,266 --> 00:52:30,333
The veil was torn.

1333
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:34,116
The, the, the pureness of worship, that,

1334
00:52:34,133 --> 00:52:37,366
 that we get, man, we get these little snippets of it now.

1335
00:52:37,433 --> 00:52:40,599
We get these little, you know, these little days where the Holy

1336
00:52:40,599 --> 00:52:43,833
 Ghost just falls on us and we feel it so well and

1337
00:52:43,849 --> 00:52:46,900
 so good, but then, but then flesh starts coming

1338
00:52:46,900 --> 00:52:50,366
 back too, you know, and it starts, we're trying to fight the flesh off.

1339
00:52:50,449 --> 00:52:51,949
of that's going to happen here.

1340
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,166
No, and no need for

1341
00:52:55,183 --> 00:52:58,416
 the sun because like you said, the S-O-N.

1342
00:52:58,483 --> 00:53:01,516
That's right. is lighting this thing up

1343
00:53:01,783 --> 00:53:03,349
 and the whole earth up.

1344
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:04,166
Right?

1345
00:53:04,250 --> 00:53:07,300
I mean, gosh, nothing and everything's so transparent

1346
00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:10,116
 that nothing's going to hold back that light, right?

1347
00:53:10,183 --> 00:53:10,949
Yes.

1348
00:53:11,033 --> 00:53:14,266
I love what you said that, that, you know, we, we,

1349
00:53:14,266 --> 00:53:15,516
 we just get filled with the spirit.

1350
00:53:15,583 --> 00:53:19,000
We get the spirit bumps and we're just praising and worshiping.

1351
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,550
 and then something bad happens.

1352
00:53:20,633 --> 00:53:21,650
Yeah, man.

1353
00:53:21,699 --> 00:53:23,916
That ain't going to be anymore.

1354
00:53:23,933 --> 00:53:26,500
We don't even make it to the door sometimes.

1355
00:53:26,566 --> 00:53:26,983
I know it.

1356
00:53:27,050 --> 00:53:31,000
Man, I'll have,

1357
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,449
 they don't, they might not, they might listen to it.

1358
00:53:33,533 --> 00:53:36,533
Anyway, but we sometimes I sometimes we'll have

1359
00:53:36,533 --> 00:53:40,000
 one of those services and it's just like, you know, Holy Spirit, man.

1360
00:53:40,066 --> 00:53:41,616
so real, so real, so real.

1361
00:53:41,683 --> 00:53:44,683
And then I get to the door to greet somebody and somebody has

1362
00:53:44,683 --> 00:53:46,050
 to hit me with something, you know?

1363
00:53:46,133 --> 00:53:49,783
Like, just, bam, bam, you know.

1364
00:53:49,849 --> 00:53:50,983
Debbie Downer.

1365
00:53:51,050 --> 00:53:52,483
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1366
00:53:52,550 --> 00:53:54,583
Like the old Saturday Night Live skit.

1367
00:53:54,650 --> 00:53:55,066
What was that?

1368
00:53:56,683 --> 00:53:58,016
Debbie Downer.

1369
00:54:00,783 --> 00:54:03,883
But anyway, I'm like, can you

1370
00:54:03,883 --> 00:54:05,500
 just wait just a little bit?

1371
00:54:05,566 --> 00:54:07,666
Just let us just bask in this for a minute.

1372
00:54:07,733 --> 00:54:08,333
you know.

1373
00:54:08,383 --> 00:54:09,750
Oh my gosh.

1374
00:54:09,833 --> 00:54:13,300
Yeah, and that light that comes off of him, man.

1375
00:54:13,366 --> 00:54:16,366
Oh, it's just going through those crystal wall.

1376
00:54:16,366 --> 00:54:16,833
Yeah.

1377
00:54:17,933 --> 00:54:18,400
Yeah, yeah.

1378
00:54:18,466 --> 00:54:21,466
Just the colors and the things coming off of it.

1379
00:54:21,533 --> 00:54:24,533
Man, I always, when I, when I start reading this,

1380
00:54:24,533 --> 00:54:27,699
 when I see this in, uh, uh, 23

1381
00:54:27,699 --> 00:54:30,866
 and 24 here, where it's talking about how that we don't need the temple

1382
00:54:30,883 --> 00:54:33,933
 anymore, and I always go back to Steven's address,

1383
00:54:33,949 --> 00:54:37,066
 uh, in Acts chapter 7, uh,

1384
00:54:37,066 --> 00:54:40,483
 verse uh, 47, but Solomon built him a house.

1385
00:54:40,550 --> 00:54:43,666
However, the most high does not dwell in temples made

1386
00:54:43,666 --> 00:54:46,900
 with hands, as the prophet says, heaven is my throne,

1387
00:54:46,900 --> 00:54:48,216
 and earth is my footstool.

1388
00:54:48,283 --> 00:54:51,449
What house will you build for me, says the Lord, or

1389
00:54:51,466 --> 00:54:53,133
 what is the place of my rest?

1390
00:54:53,199 --> 00:54:55,533
Has my hand not made all these things?

1391
00:54:55,599 --> 00:54:58,766
And he's sitting there and he's,

1392
00:54:58,783 --> 00:55:02,016
 you know, Stephen is, is telling him, he's like, what, what do you think you're doing?

1393
00:55:02,083 --> 00:55:02,983
You think God's in there?

1394
00:55:03,050 --> 00:55:04,849
In that little bitty place?

1395
00:55:04,900 --> 00:55:07,949
And look, when God does build something for himself, it's

1396
00:55:07,966 --> 00:55:10,116
 1500 miles.

1397
00:55:10,183 --> 00:55:12,516
Oh, and that's still...

1398
00:55:12,583 --> 00:55:14,383
And it still doesn't, that's a container.

1399
00:55:14,449 --> 00:55:17,566
But what's so crazy, guys, is that, is that

1400
00:55:17,566 --> 00:55:20,616
 this big God, that, that

1401
00:55:20,633 --> 00:55:23,983
 the whole world and universe can't contain, lives

1402
00:55:23,983 --> 00:55:25,116
 in us.

1403
00:55:26,283 --> 00:55:27,349
dwells in us.

1404
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,199
What a...

1405
00:55:29,199 --> 00:55:29,800
We're the temple.

1406
00:55:29,866 --> 00:55:31,666
We are the temple of God.

1407
00:55:31,733 --> 00:55:33,766
he's present with us right now.

1408
00:55:33,833 --> 00:55:35,333
It's like we said before.

1409
00:55:35,383 --> 00:55:38,849
We're not coming in here and saying, boy, God really showed up today.

1410
00:55:38,933 --> 00:55:40,433
No, God didn't show up.

1411
00:55:40,483 --> 00:55:41,550
You showed up, right?

1412
00:55:41,633 --> 00:55:42,166
With him.

1413
00:55:42,233 --> 00:55:43,366
brought him in here.

1414
00:55:43,433 --> 00:55:44,800
We brought him in here with you.

1415
00:55:44,866 --> 00:55:47,383
You just decided to go along with what he wanted to do today.

1416
00:55:47,449 --> 00:55:48,349
Right?

1417
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,949
We just decided to get in one mine and one accord today, at least a little bit, right?

1418
00:55:53,033 --> 00:55:56,633
Man, John 812,

1419
00:55:56,633 --> 00:56:00,283
 this fake Jesus again under them saying, I

1420
00:56:00,283 --> 00:56:01,300
 am the light of the world.

1421
00:56:01,433 --> 00:56:04,599
He that followeth me shall not walk in

1422
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:06,566
 darkness, but shall have the light of life.

1423
00:56:06,699 --> 00:56:07,466
Amen.

1424
00:56:07,483 --> 00:56:08,500
That's who he is.

1425
00:56:08,566 --> 00:56:11,683
That's, I mean, there'll be no more death and

1426
00:56:11,683 --> 00:56:14,800
 no more dying, not just because we have new bodies, but because

1427
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,566
 he is the lie to the world and he is the giver of life.

1428
00:56:18,650 --> 00:56:22,116
And he's sustaining us throughout all eternity, right?

1429
00:56:22,183 --> 00:56:24,449
I mean, if he was gone, we would be gone.

1430
00:56:24,533 --> 00:56:24,783
Amen.

1431
00:56:26,199 --> 00:56:26,916
Wow.

1432
00:56:26,983 --> 00:56:28,183
Amen.

1433
00:56:28,250 --> 00:56:32,199
Oh, man,

1434
00:56:32,199 --> 00:56:33,266
 our pitiful little minds.

1435
00:56:33,349 --> 00:56:34,483
Yes, yes.

1436
00:56:34,550 --> 00:56:37,666
Yeah, trying to, we just

1437
00:56:37,666 --> 00:56:39,216
 can't, we can't begin.

1438
00:56:39,283 --> 00:56:43,000
You know, sometimes I'll try to picture heaven now, you know, not.

1439
00:56:43,283 --> 00:56:45,283
Yeah, I start, I start, and I'm going to start.

1440
00:56:45,533 --> 00:56:48,699
When I read this, I'm like, oh, that's beautiful.

1441
00:56:48,766 --> 00:56:49,233
That's beautiful.

1442
00:56:49,300 --> 00:56:51,400
It's beautiful, I think, but I really can't get it.

1443
00:56:51,533 --> 00:56:52,250
I just don't get it.

1444
00:56:52,300 --> 00:56:54,400
I don't comprehend it.

1445
00:56:54,466 --> 00:56:55,233
You know?

1446
00:56:55,300 --> 00:56:58,599
I mean, it's it's it's bigger right

1447
00:56:58,599 --> 00:57:00,516
 here on this page than what I can think of.

1448
00:57:00,583 --> 00:57:02,849
Yeah, but it's bigger than that.

1449
00:57:02,933 --> 00:57:03,650
Yeah.

1450
00:57:03,699 --> 00:57:07,466
We just can't, we can't imagine, we can't imagine what.

1451
00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:07,966
But we know.

1452
00:57:07,966 --> 00:57:09,516
We know it's real.

1453
00:57:09,533 --> 00:57:11,033
We know it's true.

1454
00:57:11,033 --> 00:57:12,099
Our hope is in this, right?

1455
00:57:12,166 --> 00:57:12,766
Amen.

1456
00:57:12,766 --> 00:57:13,366
Amen.

1457
00:57:13,433 --> 00:57:15,400
Everything that we got is riding on this.

1458
00:57:15,466 --> 00:57:16,000
That's right

1459
00:57:16,183 --> 00:57:18,933
Not as man hopes, but yeah, it's a hope that's a promise.

1460
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,016
Yeah, it's like throwing a rope off a cliff and climbing down that rope.

1461
00:57:23,083 --> 00:57:25,000
You got to put your whole weight on that rope.

1462
00:57:25,066 --> 00:57:25,599
That's right.

1463
00:57:25,666 --> 00:57:27,099
This is our rope.

1464
00:57:27,166 --> 00:57:27,699
That's it.

1465
00:57:27,766 --> 00:57:28,416
I see it.

1466
00:57:28,483 --> 00:57:28,833
Amen.

1467
00:57:28,900 --> 00:57:31,766
That will not break that will not falter.

1468
00:57:31,849 --> 00:57:32,199
Never.

1469
00:57:32,266 --> 00:57:33,216
Never.

1470
00:57:33,349 --> 00:57:34,300
Amen.

1471
00:57:34,366 --> 00:57:34,900
Amen.

1472
00:57:34,966 --> 00:57:37,900
Starting in 24 as far as you want to go.

1473
00:57:37,966 --> 00:57:38,733
24.

1474
00:57:38,933 --> 00:57:39,766
You don't do the rest of it?

1475
00:57:39,833 --> 00:57:40,183
Sure.

1476
00:57:40,250 --> 00:57:43,300
And the nations of those who are saved shall walk

1477
00:57:43,300 --> 00:57:47,433
 in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

1478
00:57:47,500 --> 00:57:50,616
Its gates shall not be shut at all by day.

1479
00:57:50,683 --> 00:57:53,733
There shall be no night there, and they

1480
00:57:53,750 --> 00:57:56,316
 shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

1481
00:57:56,383 --> 00:57:59,433
But there shall by no means enter it

1482
00:57:59,449 --> 00:58:02,500
 anything that defiles or causes an abomination or

1483
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:06,150
 a lie, but only those who are written in the lamb's book of lie.

1484
00:58:06,283 --> 00:58:06,933
Amen.

1485
00:58:06,949 --> 00:58:10,116
So this is, I've always wondered about this

1486
00:58:10,133 --> 00:58:13,300
 too, but I think maybe we figured this out, that there

1487
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:16,466
 will be people, nations around this thing.

1488
00:58:16,550 --> 00:58:20,316
Yeah. that survive people that came from the millennium.

1489
00:58:20,383 --> 00:58:22,116
Yeah. survive through that.

1490
00:58:22,183 --> 00:58:23,083
Yeah, they will.

1491
00:58:23,150 --> 00:58:23,866
They will.

1492
00:58:23,933 --> 00:58:26,933
And the transparency is we've already

1493
00:58:26,933 --> 00:58:29,083
 said of this place is going to light the earth below.

1494
00:58:29,150 --> 00:58:29,566
right?

1495
00:58:29,633 --> 00:58:30,099
Yeah.

1496
00:58:30,099 --> 00:58:33,266
I mean, this is the reason I say that those who are living on

1497
00:58:33,283 --> 00:58:36,333
 earth will come up to the dwelling place of the church

1498
00:58:36,349 --> 00:58:39,400
 to worship, but

1499
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:40,833
 they won't live there, right?

1500
00:58:40,900 --> 00:58:44,133
Because it talks about the kings on earth, people on earth.

1501
00:58:44,199 --> 00:58:47,016
So there's people, like you said, they're dwelling there.

1502
00:58:47,083 --> 00:58:48,699
We're dwelling with him.

1503
00:58:48,766 --> 00:58:50,133
This is our dwelling place.

1504
00:58:50,199 --> 00:58:53,133
This is our abode with our husband, right?

1505
00:58:53,199 --> 00:58:56,800
With the bridegroom.

1506
00:58:56,866 --> 00:59:00,033
Uh, no enemies outside the gate.

1507
00:59:00,099 --> 00:59:02,250
Therefore, there's no need to shut the gates.

1508
00:59:02,333 --> 00:59:05,333
And this explains

1509
00:59:05,333 --> 00:59:07,483
 a lot too, but we're going to have a job to do.

1510
00:59:07,550 --> 00:59:08,383
Yes, yeah.

1511
00:59:08,449 --> 00:59:11,016
We're going to have things to do in this new heavens and earth.

1512
00:59:11,083 --> 00:59:12,033
Absolutely, absolutely.

1513
00:59:12,099 --> 00:59:14,016
We're not sitting on a cloud playing a harvest.

1514
00:59:14,083 --> 00:59:15,216
I don't like heart.

1515
00:59:15,349 --> 00:59:15,766
No.

1516
00:59:15,766 --> 00:59:17,566
I don't.

1517
00:59:17,566 --> 00:59:21,516
I'm strum a guitar the same way I have for the last 20 years.

1518
00:59:21,583 --> 00:59:24,583
I'm not learning anything.

1519
00:59:24,583 --> 00:59:28,300
The way I play the guitar, then you don't want to hand me a heart.

1520
00:59:28,366 --> 00:59:31,366
Or be like, no, you take this.

1521
00:59:31,433 --> 00:59:33,233
Hey, can I get a harmonic?

1522
00:59:33,283 --> 00:59:34,300
Brian, here's your broom.

1523
00:59:34,366 --> 00:59:35,433
Get that.

1524
00:59:35,500 --> 00:59:38,433
sweep that off there.

1525
00:59:38,500 --> 00:59:41,550
But the redeemed of all ages

1526
00:59:41,566 --> 00:59:45,033
 are going to come to this to the sea to worship.

1527
00:59:45,099 --> 00:59:48,150
And but only the church will dwell there, but I do

1528
00:59:48,166 --> 00:59:50,866
 believe that all redeem will be able to enjoy the city.

1529
00:59:50,933 --> 00:59:54,583
I think that everybody will be able to enjoy this.

1530
00:59:54,583 --> 00:59:57,699
Coming in, coming out visiting,

1531
00:59:57,699 --> 01:00:00,933
 being a part of whatever, you know, I don't even say visiting,

1532
01:00:00,949 --> 01:00:03,699
 but whatever, I mean, the gates are open.

1533
01:00:03,766 --> 01:00:04,666
It's free for all.

1534
01:00:04,733 --> 01:00:08,633
Come on in, you know, this is, because there's no evil.

1535
01:00:08,683 --> 01:00:13,050
So everybody's welcome to be a to to enjoy this, to be a part of this.

1536
01:00:13,133 --> 01:00:16,300
Um, Ephesians uh, 27

1537
01:00:16,300 --> 01:00:19,349
 says that in the ages to come, he might show

1538
01:00:19,366 --> 01:00:22,483
 the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness

1539
01:00:22,483 --> 01:00:26,383
 towards us through Christ Jesus so that everybody gets

1540
01:00:26,383 --> 01:00:28,483
 to be a part of it that has been redeemed.

1541
01:00:28,550 --> 01:00:30,466
Yeah, got to be in the Lamb's book alive.

1542
01:00:30,533 --> 01:00:31,066
You do.

1543
01:00:31,133 --> 01:00:31,550
You do.

1544
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:35,066
But again, our

1545
01:00:35,083 --> 01:00:37,533
 minds just our finite minds can't let us.

1546
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:40,650
we can't comprehend the beauty, the majesty of the city

1547
01:00:40,666 --> 01:00:43,966
 that our savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

1548
01:00:43,966 --> 01:00:47,266
 the carpenter of Nazareth, has built

1549
01:00:47,266 --> 01:00:50,266
 for us to spend eternity in,

1550
01:00:50,266 --> 01:00:52,416
 but I know this.

1551
01:00:52,483 --> 01:00:53,383
I know this.

1552
01:00:53,449 --> 01:00:54,949
1 Corinthians 1312.

1553
01:00:55,183 --> 01:00:58,183
For now we see through a glass darkly.

1554
01:00:58,250 --> 01:01:01,000
But then face to face.

1555
01:01:01,066 --> 01:01:02,866
Now I know in part.

1556
01:01:02,933 --> 01:01:06,283
But then shall I know even as also I am known.

1557
01:01:06,349 --> 01:01:08,616
Praise the Lord.

1558
01:01:08,683 --> 01:01:09,816
Praise the Lord.

1559
01:01:09,883 --> 01:01:11,733
We're going to know it all, right?

1560
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:12,216
Yeah.

1561
01:01:12,283 --> 01:01:12,699
Yeah.

1562
01:01:12,766 --> 01:01:15,766
I don't yet know what I'm

1563
01:01:15,766 --> 01:01:17,733
 going to be like, but I know I'm going to be like him.

1564
01:01:18,783 --> 01:01:20,033
We just trust.

1565
01:01:20,083 --> 01:01:20,266
Amen.

1566
01:01:20,983 --> 01:01:24,633
distrust and know that whatever's coming is beyond

1567
01:01:24,650 --> 01:01:25,849
 anything we can imagine.

1568
01:01:25,900 --> 01:01:27,150
Yeah, amen.

1569
01:01:27,233 --> 01:01:28,133
Amen.

1570
01:01:28,183 --> 01:01:29,683
Praise the Lord.

1571
01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:31,783
You can know that right now.

1572
01:01:31,849 --> 01:01:35,266
Yeah, if you're listening and you've

1573
01:01:36,099 --> 01:01:39,216
 never been saved, you've listening and you've been questioning

1574
01:01:39,233 --> 01:01:42,233
 this thing, as Dennis has already said, man, this

1575
01:01:42,233 --> 01:01:43,433
 is what our hope's built on.

1576
01:01:43,483 --> 01:01:46,766
Yeah, there's no way I'd be wasting a Monday night away

1577
01:01:47,983 --> 01:01:51,283
 from my family and could be doing anything else in the world.

1578
01:01:51,349 --> 01:01:54,466
Uh, much less Sunday and

1579
01:01:54,466 --> 01:01:57,516
 and Wednesday nights and any other thing that we do

1580
01:01:57,533 --> 01:01:58,733
 for the Lord.

1581
01:01:58,783 --> 01:02:02,733
Um, if we didn't know in our hearts that this is true.

1582
01:02:02,866 --> 01:02:04,300
This is true.

1583
01:02:04,433 --> 01:02:05,933
We're not wasting our time.

1584
01:02:05,983 --> 01:02:06,933
We're glory.

1585
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,000
We're glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ and we're

1586
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,366
 basking in that glory right now.

1587
01:02:11,449 --> 01:02:12,583
Right now.

1588
01:02:12,650 --> 01:02:13,716
We get to be a part of it.

1589
01:02:13,849 --> 01:02:14,449
Yeah.

1590
01:02:14,449 --> 01:02:20,449
It is exciting.

1591
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:23,433
I don't even know what to say, man.

1592
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:26,800
Yeah, what can you add to that?

1593
01:02:26,866 --> 01:02:29,733
What can you add to this beautiful word?

1594
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,966
It's exciting.

1595
01:02:33,050 --> 01:02:33,766
It is.

1596
01:02:33,766 --> 01:02:38,983
It's exciting and If you're saved.

1597
01:02:39,050 --> 01:02:43,416
What a wonderful promise to look forward to.

1598
01:02:43,483 --> 01:02:48,333
And if you're not, You

1599
01:02:48,349 --> 01:02:50,866
 can look forward to that promise.

1600
01:02:50,933 --> 01:02:51,949
That's right.

1601
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,750
I mean, it's it's a you have the choice.

1602
01:02:54,833 --> 01:02:58,849
You can choose this and I would

1603
01:02:58,849 --> 01:03:02,016
 love to be able to describe exactly how things are going to be.

1604
01:03:02,083 --> 01:03:02,500
Yeah.

1605
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:05,366
I would love to be able to tell you for certain.

1606
01:03:05,449 --> 01:03:06,816
This is what life's going to be like.

1607
01:03:06,883 --> 01:03:09,033
This is how things are going to be for eternity.

1608
01:03:09,099 --> 01:03:12,099
We don't know because we

1609
01:03:12,099 --> 01:03:16,166
 can't even begin to wrap our heads around what eternity looks like.

1610
01:03:16,250 --> 01:03:19,599
I mean, that

1611
01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:21,400
 existence is so far beyond us.

1612
01:03:21,466 --> 01:03:22,116
too big.

1613
01:03:22,183 --> 01:03:26,083
And we are given just a glimpse of it.

1614
01:03:26,150 --> 01:03:29,500
And boy, we're given, we're

1615
01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:31,016
 given even more, a heck.

1616
01:03:31,133 --> 01:03:34,133
I mean, even where we've got to here at 20 and 21

1617
01:03:34,133 --> 01:03:35,633
 and 22, we're giving even more.

1618
01:03:35,683 --> 01:03:39,400
We're giving the rest of the glimpse of what it looks like.

1619
01:03:39,533 --> 01:03:43,550
And man, it is, it's awesome.

1620
01:03:43,599 --> 01:03:44,616
And here's awesome.

1621
01:03:44,750 --> 01:03:47,750
Here's the thing, and I'm going to be a Debbie Downer for a second,

1622
01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:50,866
 but for as much

1623
01:03:50,866 --> 01:03:54,283
 as we can't imagine what this

1624
01:03:54,283 --> 01:03:57,283
 city's going to look like, what this place of worship is going to

1625
01:03:57,283 --> 01:04:00,333
 look like, what heaven is going to look like, what the New Earth is going to

1626
01:04:00,349 --> 01:04:03,516
 look like, you know, with all the description we have, we

1627
01:04:03,533 --> 01:04:04,783
 still have a lot of speculation.

1628
01:04:04,849 --> 01:04:07,966
We know it's going to be so wonderful, but we can't

1629
01:04:07,966 --> 01:04:11,199
 fully imagine in our heart, in our minds,

1630
01:04:11,199 --> 01:04:12,866
 what exactly what it's going to be like.

1631
01:04:12,949 --> 01:04:16,416
And just as well, we can't

1632
01:04:16,433 --> 01:04:18,783
 imagine what the lake of fire is going to be like.

1633
01:04:19,433 --> 01:04:22,666
What eternity is going to be like for those who are not in Christ

1634
01:04:22,666 --> 01:04:26,316
 Jesus, who decided to reject him.

1635
01:04:26,566 --> 01:04:29,983
Uh, we read about how terrible it's going to be.

1636
01:04:30,050 --> 01:04:33,583
But we can't really fathom how terrible it's going to be.

1637
01:04:33,650 --> 01:04:35,316
Never ending.

1638
01:04:35,383 --> 01:04:38,016
You know, God is the source of all goodness.

1639
01:04:38,083 --> 01:04:38,316
Yeah.

1640
01:04:38,933 --> 01:04:39,949
The source of all joy.

1641
01:04:39,949 --> 01:04:40,599
Yes.

1642
01:04:40,666 --> 01:04:42,400
Of all peace, of all love.

1643
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,133
You're absent.

1644
01:04:44,199 --> 01:04:45,099
Absent from that.

1645
01:04:45,166 --> 01:04:46,233
For eternity.

1646
01:04:46,300 --> 01:04:47,133
It's not a good time.

1647
01:04:47,199 --> 01:04:48,099
No, it's not.

1648
01:04:48,166 --> 01:04:49,116
It's misery.

1649
01:04:49,183 --> 01:04:50,083
Absolute misery.

1650
01:04:50,199 --> 01:04:51,933
Misery and wormwood.

1651
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,533
And you're living in the same place as really angry demons.

1652
01:04:55,599 --> 01:04:56,016
Yeah.

1653
01:04:56,383 --> 01:04:56,733
Yeah.

1654
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,016
Not only angry demons, but the worst

1655
01:05:01,066 --> 01:05:02,083
 of the worst, right?

1656
01:05:02,150 --> 01:05:05,150
You know, I mean, no compassion.

1657
01:05:05,199 --> 01:05:06,400
No, no, nothing.

1658
01:05:06,533 --> 01:05:09,833
And you have you have the ability to choose not

1659
01:05:09,833 --> 01:05:10,849
 to do that.

1660
01:05:10,900 --> 01:05:12,266
I mean, that's the right.

1661
01:05:12,349 --> 01:05:15,583
That's at the end of the day, everybody says, how

1662
01:05:15,583 --> 01:05:18,583
 would a, how would a good and gracious God and how would

1663
01:05:18,583 --> 01:05:21,099
 a adjust God do, because he gave you a choice?

1664
01:05:21,166 --> 01:05:23,433
At the end of the day, it's your choice.

1665
01:05:23,500 --> 01:05:26,066
You're choosing that over perfection.

1666
01:05:26,150 --> 01:05:29,199
And at the end of the day, we can't describe either

1667
01:05:29,199 --> 01:05:32,550
 of these things to you because we do not have a point of reference for either of them.

1668
01:05:32,633 --> 01:05:35,800
We can give you a general idea.

1669
01:05:35,866 --> 01:05:40,066
We can give you a very, very, very, very tiny glimpse.

1670
01:05:40,133 --> 01:05:42,583
And we're given even less about hell.

1671
01:05:42,650 --> 01:05:44,383
I mean, let's be let's be very clear.

1672
01:05:44,449 --> 01:05:47,800
We're given even less of a description of hell in the lake of fire than we're given of heaven.

1673
01:05:47,866 --> 01:05:50,133
other than it's going to be awful.

1674
01:05:50,199 --> 01:05:53,016
I mean, and there's a reason for that.

1675
01:05:53,150 --> 01:05:54,216
So you have a choice.

1676
01:05:54,283 --> 01:05:58,233
You're given something that you're described that's a known quant, that's a, a

1677
01:05:58,250 --> 01:06:01,849
 tiny, tiny glimpse of a known quantity over

1678
01:06:01,849 --> 01:06:04,966
 here and even less of a glimpse of an unknown something

1679
01:06:04,966 --> 01:06:09,099
 that you're told is absolutely horrible and

1680
01:06:09,099 --> 01:06:10,233
 indescribably bad.

1681
01:06:10,533 --> 01:06:12,583
And chew, choose.

1682
01:06:12,650 --> 01:06:14,449
And it's exactly right.

1683
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:18,266
Everybody has to make a choice in this life after this life, it's too late.

1684
01:06:18,349 --> 01:06:18,949
Yeah.

1685
01:06:18,949 --> 01:06:21,949
And if you decide not

1686
01:06:21,949 --> 01:06:23,516
 to choose, you've chosen...

1687
01:06:23,933 --> 01:06:24,699
You've chosen already.

1688
01:06:24,699 --> 01:06:26,616
That you have to actively choose yes.

1689
01:06:26,683 --> 01:06:29,199
And Jesus invites you to come right now.

1690
01:06:29,266 --> 01:06:30,699
Today is the day of salvation.

1691
01:06:30,766 --> 01:06:31,416
right.

1692
01:06:31,550 --> 01:06:35,199
Don't wait because we're not guaranteed at another breath.

1693
01:06:35,266 --> 01:06:38,516
Jesus could come back or heaven

1694
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,516
 forbid, you could pass away before you ever,

1695
01:06:42,533 --> 01:06:44,083
 ever hear from him again, right?

1696
01:06:44,199 --> 01:06:45,150
Absolutely.

1697
01:06:45,233 --> 01:06:47,150
And it's such an easy thing to do.

1698
01:06:47,199 --> 01:06:50,250
Jesus, you know, we've already read,

1699
01:06:50,266 --> 01:06:55,416
 maybe read again, that Jesus said, come, drink of the water, freely, freely.

1700
01:06:55,483 --> 01:06:58,650
And it cost him everything, but it doesn't cost us a dime.

1701
01:06:58,733 --> 01:07:01,783
And we just believe and know that he loves us

1702
01:07:01,783 --> 01:07:05,083
 enough to become one of us and

1703
01:07:05,083 --> 01:07:08,083
 to die for us on a cross and a heinous death.

1704
01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:08,616
Yeah.

1705
01:07:08,633 --> 01:07:11,983
A humiliating death, naked on a cross.

1706
01:07:12,050 --> 01:07:12,516
Yes.

1707
01:07:12,533 --> 01:07:15,050
The God of the universe loves you that much.

1708
01:07:15,099 --> 01:07:15,866
Amen.

1709
01:07:15,883 --> 01:07:18,699
And that just taking that in is mind blowing.

1710
01:07:18,766 --> 01:07:19,366
It is.

1711
01:07:19,433 --> 01:07:20,033
It is.

1712
01:07:20,083 --> 01:07:21,400
It's incomprehensible.

1713
01:07:21,466 --> 01:07:21,766
Yeah.

1714
01:07:23,566 --> 01:07:26,566
And he gave he gave it all and he suffered

1715
01:07:26,566 --> 01:07:29,683
 it all for us so that we could be with him in this city

1716
01:07:29,683 --> 01:07:30,816
 and in this beauty.

1717
01:07:30,833 --> 01:07:33,466
Because he loves us for whatever reason.

1718
01:07:33,533 --> 01:07:35,683
I can't I can't explain why.

1719
01:07:35,750 --> 01:07:37,116
I don't deserve it.

1720
01:07:37,183 --> 01:07:39,883
You can't earn it.

1721
01:07:39,949 --> 01:07:40,483
You can't earn it.

1722
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:41,849
You can't say well, I didn't.

1723
01:07:41,866 --> 01:07:45,466
I never drank, cussed or smoked or did all these things.

1724
01:07:45,533 --> 01:07:47,449
you know, I'm a pretty good guy.

1725
01:07:47,500 --> 01:07:48,266
I'm a good guy.

1726
01:07:48,349 --> 01:07:50,383
God'll see through all the bad stuff.

1727
01:07:50,449 --> 01:07:50,766
Nope.

1728
01:07:51,650 --> 01:07:52,300
No, we won't.

1729
01:07:52,366 --> 01:07:55,783
No, you were born with a sin nature that has to be eradicated.

1730
01:07:55,849 --> 01:07:56,866
You got to be born again.

1731
01:07:56,933 --> 01:07:57,833
That's it.

1732
01:07:57,883 --> 01:07:59,383
And he's the only one that can rid you of it.

1733
01:07:59,449 --> 01:07:59,983
right.

1734
01:08:00,050 --> 01:08:00,650
Yeah.

1735
01:08:00,699 --> 01:08:04,000
That crimson blood that that cleans

1736
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,616
 you and makes you white as snow.

1737
01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:06,516
Yes.

1738
01:08:06,583 --> 01:08:06,766
Amen.

1739
01:08:07,783 --> 01:08:08,199
Amen.

1740
01:08:08,266 --> 01:08:11,733
Well, next week or week after next,

1741
01:08:11,750 --> 01:08:14,916
 we will be going into Revelation 22.

1742
01:08:15,166 --> 01:08:17,133
That is the last chapter of Revelation.

1743
01:08:17,199 --> 01:08:19,000
I don't know if we'll get through the whole chapter next week.

1744
01:08:19,066 --> 01:08:21,699
Um, we might or week after next.

1745
01:08:21,766 --> 01:08:24,816
We might not, but when

1746
01:08:24,833 --> 01:08:27,699
 we finish that, we will be diving into Genesis.

1747
01:08:27,766 --> 01:08:31,066
And so we've given you the

1748
01:08:31,066 --> 01:08:33,516
 picture of the end, and we've studied the end.

1749
01:08:33,583 --> 01:08:35,199
Now let's go back and study how it all started.

1750
01:08:35,266 --> 01:08:36,699
And I love that.

1751
01:08:36,766 --> 01:08:39,933
Um, and, and that's, that's another one.

1752
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,816
You know, I've spent a fair amount of time studying revelation.

1753
01:08:42,883 --> 01:08:45,933
So I enjoy being involved with any study of that.

1754
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,600
I've spent a lot more time in the 1st few chapters of Genesis.

1755
01:08:49,666 --> 01:08:52,300
I spent a lot of time there.

1756
01:08:52,366 --> 01:08:54,816
I'm going to have to ask Ken Ham to enjoy it.

1757
01:08:55,733 --> 01:08:56,933
Hey, there you go.

1758
01:08:56,983 --> 01:09:00,100
He's not busy, so...

1759
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:03,216
But so I'm

1760
01:09:03,233 --> 01:09:04,600
 really excited about that one.

1761
01:09:04,666 --> 01:09:07,716
And I hope everybody can join us in a couple

1762
01:09:07,733 --> 01:09:09,699
 of weeks when we come back with Revelation 22.

1763
01:09:10,733 --> 01:09:13,783
Um, and uh, anybody that, if you got kids

1764
01:09:13,783 --> 01:09:16,899
 in the area and you live over here in, in Northeast Alabama

1765
01:09:16,899 --> 01:09:20,066
 and the surrounding area there, here at Mountain View Baptist Church,

1766
01:09:20,083 --> 01:09:22,649
 we're having vacation Bible school, our kickoff is Sunday night.

1767
01:09:22,733 --> 01:09:25,733
Um, uh, we will be

1768
01:09:25,733 --> 01:09:28,733
 having inflatables for the kids and ice cream and all

1769
01:09:28,733 --> 01:09:30,583
 kind of, we do, we, we do a big kickoff.

1770
01:09:30,649 --> 01:09:31,550
It's always a lot of fun.

1771
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,933
And then the week is always a blast.

1772
01:09:34,066 --> 01:09:35,566
We are going to be exhausted.

1773
01:09:35,633 --> 01:09:38,633
By the end of it, but it is so

1774
01:09:38,633 --> 01:09:42,050
 much fun and it's so great for the kids and the

1775
01:09:42,050 --> 01:09:45,166
 idea of going in and spending a week with a bunch of

1776
01:09:45,166 --> 01:09:47,566
 kids learning about Psalms 23.

1777
01:09:47,750 --> 01:09:49,783
Man, that I love that.

1778
01:09:49,850 --> 01:09:51,216
I love that.

1779
01:09:51,283 --> 01:09:51,816
I love that song.

1780
01:09:51,949 --> 01:09:54,949
That is one of my favorite ones, and I love

1781
01:09:54,949 --> 01:09:55,966
 that that's what this is about.

1782
01:09:56,033 --> 01:09:59,383
So, uh, couple of weeks, Revelation 22.

1783
01:09:59,633 --> 01:10:03,699
Vacation Bible school here next week.

1784
01:10:03,766 --> 01:10:04,783
So be praying for us.

1785
01:10:04,850 --> 01:10:08,083
If you can't come, we do want you to do ask that you'd be praying for us all week.

1786
01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:11,866
From the, uh, starts on the 15th,

1787
01:10:11,866 --> 01:10:15,399
 I believe, June 15th, uh, through the, whatever

1788
01:10:15,399 --> 01:10:17,133
 the end of that week is that Friday.

1789
01:10:17,199 --> 01:10:20,366
So definitely be praying for us because we need it.

1790
01:10:20,449 --> 01:10:22,600
Yeah, we normally have a lot of kids coming.

1791
01:10:22,666 --> 01:10:23,316
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1792
01:10:23,383 --> 01:10:23,683
Oh, yeah.

1793
01:10:23,750 --> 01:10:25,783
I think yeah, we had a ton of kids last year.

1794
01:10:25,850 --> 01:10:28,716
Kickoff, I think, maybe on the 14th, right?

1795
01:10:28,783 --> 01:10:29,199
Yeah.

1796
01:10:29,199 --> 01:10:29,850
Oh, yeah, yeah.

1797
01:10:29,866 --> 01:10:31,000
The kickoffs on the 14th.

1798
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:31,649
Sunday night.

1799
01:10:31,733 --> 01:10:34,000
So we're going to have blowups and stuff for it too.

1800
01:10:34,066 --> 01:10:37,300
And so, yeah, yeah, we'll have lots of food.

1801
01:10:37,366 --> 01:10:38,199
kids, right?

1802
01:10:38,266 --> 01:10:39,216
I do what now?

1803
01:10:39,283 --> 01:10:40,350
And be in excess of 100

1804
01:10:40,666 --> 01:10:40,966
Oh, yeah.

1805
01:10:41,266 --> 01:10:45,216
Yeah, I think, yeah, we had at least 135 kids not counting any of the adults here last year.

1806
01:10:45,283 --> 01:10:46,050
So, yeah.

1807
01:10:46,133 --> 01:10:47,800
Yeah, we're looking for a 1000 this year.

1808
01:10:47,866 --> 01:10:50,866
We're believing for a thousand.

1809
01:10:50,916 --> 01:10:54,516
I'm not going to say that Brian sits unreasonable

1810
01:10:54,516 --> 01:10:57,516
 expectations for us, but it's for some

1811
01:10:57,516 --> 01:10:59,133
 lofty goals there.

1812
01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:00,149
Big God, though.

1813
01:11:00,233 --> 01:11:01,066
He's a big dog.

1814
01:11:01,066 --> 01:11:02,683
He is.

1815
01:11:02,750 --> 01:11:04,116
He is, and he's a wonderful guy.

1816
01:11:04,183 --> 01:11:06,633
We can share the gospel with that many kids, that'd be awesome.

1817
01:11:06,699 --> 01:11:07,416
That would be awesome.

1818
01:11:07,483 --> 01:11:10,783
So y'all be praying for us and we'll we'll

1819
01:11:10,783 --> 01:11:14,250
 do it again in a couple of weeks finishing out with Revelation 22.

1820
01:11:14,500 --> 01:11:15,866
Brother Brian, we pray us out.

1821
01:11:15,949 --> 01:11:19,416
Father way, thank you, Lord,

1822
01:11:19,433 --> 01:11:22,600
 that you are the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end,

1823
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:23,800
 the 1st and the last.

1824
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:28,716
Lord, all things are because of

1825
01:11:28,733 --> 01:11:32,149
 you and were made by you and for you.

1826
01:11:32,149 --> 01:11:35,750
And God, you've chose to share that with us.

1827
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:37,533
I don't understand that.

1828
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,649
I don't understand why you chose to even

1829
01:11:40,666 --> 01:11:44,500
 create us, that you knew would rebel against

1830
01:11:44,500 --> 01:11:47,800
 you and would be

1831
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,850
 like the harlot, Lord God and

1832
01:11:50,866 --> 01:11:54,166
 wife, that would, but God,

1833
01:11:54,166 --> 01:11:57,583
 you give us an opportunity to be

1834
01:11:57,583 --> 01:12:00,633
 forgiven, to be

1835
01:12:00,649 --> 01:12:04,000
 restored, to be made new, and

1836
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,050
 Lord, not only us, but the creation, that the

1837
01:12:07,066 --> 01:12:08,316
 all the creation that has

1838
01:12:08,333 --> 01:12:09,533
been corrupted by sin.

1839
01:12:09,583 --> 01:12:11,500
And God, we look forward to that day.

1840
01:12:11,566 --> 01:12:14,983
But until that day, let us serve you with our every breath.

1841
01:12:15,050 --> 01:12:16,300
Let us serve you with all that we are.

1842
01:12:16,366 --> 01:12:19,416
I pray over, God, all the Bible schools in our area

1843
01:12:19,433 --> 01:12:22,783
 that are going on this week in the next few weeks, and I

1844
01:12:23,383 --> 01:12:26,983
 pray, Lord, that you would bless them with souls for their harvest.

1845
01:12:27,100 --> 01:12:27,449
God.

1846
01:12:27,533 --> 01:12:30,533
I pray God that Lord, in the

1847
01:12:30,533 --> 01:12:33,583
 midst of all the fun that we'll have and the games that we'll play and the food that will

1848
01:12:33,583 --> 01:12:36,883
 be eating, Lord, that the main focus would always be the gospel

1849
01:12:36,883 --> 01:12:40,783
 of Jesus Christ, and Lord, that we would see many people come to know you.

1850
01:12:40,850 --> 01:12:44,449
And because of that, many parents come to know you and Lord, just

1851
01:12:44,449 --> 01:12:45,699
 fill us up.

1852
01:12:45,766 --> 01:12:46,716
Lord, we thank you for this.

1853
01:12:46,783 --> 01:12:49,533
We ask these things in Jesus' name.

1854
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:49,766
en.

1855
01:12:49,850 --> 01:12:50,316
Amen.
