AS PRESIDENT OFTHE UNITED STATES,
00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:32.095

"BILLY, DO YOU BELIEVETHAT JESUS CHRIST
00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:53.282
IS COMING BACK TOEARTH ONE DAY?"

WHY DO I HEAR SOLITTLE ABOUT IT TODAY?"
00:05:05.762 --> 00:05:10.800
THE FACT IS YOU DON'T HEAR MUCH
00:05:10.833 --> 00:05:13.002
ABOUT THE RETURNOF JESUS CHRIST.
00:05:13.035 --> 00:05:15.505
IT'S A SUBJECT NOT EVENADDRESSED IN MANY PULPITS
00:05:15.538 --> 00:05:18.641
ACROSS AMERICA TODAY,
00:05:18.674 --> 00:05:21.043
BUT EVEN THOUGH IT MAYNOT BE TALKED ABOUT A LOT,
00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:24.147
THE FACT IS CERTAIN, JESUSCHRIST IS RETURNING TO EARTH
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:30.019
ONE DAY TO REWARD THE RIGHTEOUS
00:05:30.052 --> 00:05:32.455
AND TO PUNISH THE UNRIGHTEOUS.
00:05:32.488 --> 00:05:34.924

00:05:34.957 --> 00:05:38.928

00:05:38.961 --> 00:05:42.198
OF JESUS CHRIST THAT WEHAVE COME TO IN OUR STUDY
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:46.035
OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:05:46.068 --> 00:05:48.304
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES, TURNTO REVELATION CHAPTER 19,
00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:52.074
AS WE TALK ABOUTTHE COMING KING.
00:05:52.108 --> 00:05:55.978
BUT BEFORE WE GETINTO THE TEXT ITSELF,
00:05:56.012 --> 00:05:58.347
I WANT TO MENTIONFOUR REASONS
00:05:58.381 --> 00:06:00.082
THAT CHRIST MUSTRETURN TO EARTH.
00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:03.753
FIRST OF ALL, CHRIST MUST RETURN
00:06:03.786 --> 00:06:06.155
TO FULFILL THE PROMISESMADE IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:11.060
IF CHRIST DOESN'T RETURN,THEN IT MEANS HUNDREDS
00:06:11.093 --> 00:06:13.896
AND HUNDREDS OF PROPHECIESWILL BE LEFT UNFULFILLED,
00:06:13.930 --> 00:06:17.333
AND THEREFORE THEBIBLE IS UNRELIABLE.
00:06:17.366 --> 00:06:21.070
SECONDLY, CHRIST MUST RETURNTO JUDGE UNBELIEVERS FOR SIN.
00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:26.943
IF JESUS CHRIST DOESN'T RETURN,
00:06:26.976 --> 00:06:29.412
SIN AND WICKEDNESS WILL ONLYINTENSIFY IN THE WORLD TODAY.
00:06:29.445 --> 00:06:35.585
THIRDLY, CHRIST MUSTRETURN TO DEPOSE SATAN
00:06:35.618 --> 00:06:38.020
FROM HIS EARTHLY DOMINION.
00:06:38.054 --> 00:06:40.656
AND FINALLY, CHRIST MUSTRETURN TO US ESTABLISH
00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:44.560
HIS KINGDOM ON THE EARTH.
00:06:44.594 --> 00:06:47.029
THE PROMISE OVER AND OVERAGAIN IS THAT THE SON OF GOD
00:06:47.063 --> 00:06:50.833
IS RETURNING TO RULE THIS EARTH
00:06:50.867 --> 00:06:53.669
IN PERFECT JUSTICE ANDPERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:06:53.703 --> 00:06:57.306
DON'T WE LOOKFORWARD TO THAT DAY
00:06:57.340 --> 00:06:59.342
WHEN THIS EARTH WILL FINALLYBE WHAT GOD INTENDED IT TO BE?
00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:03.412
THAT PERIOD OF CHRISTRULE ON THE EARTH
00:07:03.446 --> 00:07:05.481
IS THE PERIOD OF THE MILLENNIUM
00:07:05.515 --> 00:07:07.216
THAT WE WILL LOOK ATBEGINNING NEXT TIME.
00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:10.953
THAT'S WHY CHRISTMUST RETURN TO EARTH.
00:07:10.987 --> 00:07:14.390
NOW, WHEN WE GET TO CHAPTER 19,
00:07:14.423 --> 00:07:16.792
THE SILENCE OF THE RUINEDBABYLON GIVES WAY TO THE PRAISE
00:07:16.826 --> 00:07:21.297
IN HEAVEN BY THE SAINTS OVERTHE DESTRUCTION OF BABYLON.
00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:27.737
AND THAT PRAISE COMES IN THEFORM OF FOUR HALLELUJAHS.
00:07:27.770 --> 00:07:30.973
WHY ARE THE PEOPLEIN HEAVEN SO EXCITED
00:07:31.007 --> 00:07:33.276
WHEN BABYLON IS DESTROYED?
00:07:33.309 --> 00:07:35.011
FIRST OF ALL,VERSES ONE AND TWO,
00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:36.946
HALLELUJAH, FOR THEGREAT HARLOT IS FALLEN.
00:07:36.979 --> 00:07:42.018
"AFTER THESE THINGS, I HEARDSOMETHING LIKE A LOUD VOICE
00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:44.687
OF A GREAT MULTITUDEIN HEAVEN, SAYING,
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.189
"HALLELUJAH, SALVATIONAND GLORY AND POWER
00:07:47.223 --> 00:07:50.393
BELONG TO OUR GOD,
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.894
BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTSARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS,
00:07:51.928 --> 00:07:54.463
FOR HE HAS JUDGEDTHE GREAT HARLOT
00:07:54.497 --> 00:07:57.733
WHO WAS CORRUPTING THE EARTH."
00:07:57.767 --> 00:07:59.602
SECONDLY, THERE'S A HALLELUJAH
00:07:59.635 --> 00:08:01.370
FOR THE GREAT CITY IS CONSUMED.
00:08:01.404 --> 00:08:03.873
VERSE THREE, WHEN BABYLON ISDESTROYED, THEY SAID IN HEAVEN,
00:08:03.906 --> 00:08:07.977
"HALLELUJAH," PRAISE BE TO GOD,
00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:10.279
"FOR HER SMOKE RISESUP FOREVER AND EVER."
00:08:10.313 --> 00:08:15.117
THAT CITY CONTINUES TOSMOLDER AFTER IT IS DESTROYED,
00:08:15.151 --> 00:08:19.288
SYMBOLIZING THAT ITSDESOLATION IS COMPLETE,
00:08:19.322 --> 00:08:23.426
BUT IT'S HER PUNISHMENTIS FOREVER AND EVER.
00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:27.163
THIS IS JUST THE HINT OFWHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE
00:08:27.196 --> 00:08:29.031
IN A FEW MOMENTS ABOUTTHE LAKE OF FIRE,
00:08:29.065 --> 00:08:32.301
THE ETERNAL TORMENTOF THOSE WHO DIE
00:08:32.335 --> 00:08:35.538
APART FROM JESUS CHRIST.
00:08:35.571 --> 00:08:37.506
THE THIRD HALLELUJAH,
00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:39.141
HALLELUJAH, FOR GODHAS VANQUISHED EVIL.
00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:42.678
HE HAS VANQUISHEDEVIL FOREVER AND EVER.
00:08:42.712 --> 00:08:46.048
WE FIND THAT IN VERSE FOUR,
00:08:46.082 --> 00:08:47.583
"AND THE 24 ELDERS AND THELIVING CREATURES FELL DOWN
00:08:47.617 --> 00:08:51.287
AND WORSHIPED GOD, SAYING,'AMEN, HALLELUJAH.'"
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.091
AND FINALLY HALLELUJAH FORTHE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY REIGNS.
00:08:55.124 --> 00:09:01.197
THAT PHRASE, ALMIGHTY, ISTHE GREEK WORD, PANTOKRATER,
00:09:01.230 --> 00:09:05.201
IT LITERALLY MEANS THE GODWHO CONTROLS ALL THINGS.
00:09:05.234 --> 00:09:11.273
EVEN IN THE MIDST OF THECHAOS OF THE TRIBULATION,
00:09:11.307 --> 00:09:15.444
WE'RE REMINDED THATGOD IS IN CONTROL
00:09:15.478 --> 00:09:18.147
OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING.
00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:20.883
THAT'S WHY PAUL COULD SAY WITHCONFIDENCE, "AND WE KNOW,"
00:09:20.916 --> 00:09:24.320
NOT WE HOPE OR WISH, BUT "WEKNOW THAT GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS
00:09:24.353 --> 00:09:30.726
TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOODTO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM
00:09:30.760 --> 00:09:32.662
AND TO THOSE CALLEDACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE."
00:09:32.695 --> 00:09:36.165
NOW THIS FOUR HALLELUJAH CHORUS
00:09:36.198 --> 00:09:40.202
GIVES WAY TO THE FINAL HYMNIN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:09:40.236 --> 00:09:43.339
WE'VE LOOKED AT A NUMBER OFHYMNS IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:09:43.372 --> 00:09:46.409
HERE'S THE FINAL ONE.
00:09:46.442 --> 00:09:47.710
IT'S A HYMN, A SONG FORTHE LAMB AND HIS BRIDE.
00:09:47.743 --> 00:09:51.013
LOOK AT VERSE SEVEN.
00:09:51.047 --> 00:09:52.682
"LET US REJOICE AND BE GLADAND GIVE THE GLORY TO HIM,
00:09:52.715 --> 00:09:58.821
FOR," WHY? "THE MARRIAGEOF THE LAMB HAS COME
00:09:58.854 --> 00:10:02.692
AND HIS BRIDE HASMADE HERSELF READY."
00:10:02.725 --> 00:10:06.862
THE REASON WE CANPRAISE GOD AT THIS POINT
00:10:06.896 --> 00:10:09.298
IN THE TRIBULATION
00:10:09.331 --> 00:10:12.902
IS BECAUSE A MARRIAGEHAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE.
00:10:12.935 --> 00:10:16.639
NOW, DO YOU SEE THE PICTURE HERE
00:10:16.672 --> 00:10:18.607
OF OUR RELATIONSHIP TO CHRIST?
00:10:18.641 --> 00:10:21.177
PHASE ONE, THE MARRIAGECONTRACT WAS ENTERED INTO.
00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:25.381
WHEN DID GOD DESIGNED THATYOU AND I WERE GOING TO BECOME
00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:29.118
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST?
00:10:29.151 --> 00:10:30.753
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THEWORLD, THAT WAS DETERMINED.
00:10:30.786 --> 00:10:34.290
THAT CONTRACT WAS ENTERED INTO.
00:10:34.323 --> 00:10:36.792
GOD CHOSE YOU.
00:10:36.826 --> 00:10:39.361
HE CHOSE ME, NOT BECAUSEOF ANYTHING WE DID,
00:10:39.395 --> 00:10:42.531
WE WEREN'T EVEN BORN YET,
00:10:42.565 --> 00:10:44.200
BUT IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OFHIS GRACE AND HIS PLAN.
00:10:44.233 --> 00:10:47.903
WE WERE CHOSEN BEFORE THEFOUNDATION OF THE WORLD,
00:10:47.937 --> 00:10:50.506
BUT THE DOWERY WAS PAIDNOT BY THE BRIDE'S FATHER
00:10:50.539 --> 00:10:56.312
BUT BY THE GROOMHIMSELF, JESUS CHRIST,
00:10:56.345 --> 00:10:59.215
WHEN HE SHED HIS BLOODON CALVARY FOR OUR SINS,
00:10:59.248 --> 00:11:02.651
THAT WAS THE PAYMENTTHAT WAS MADE
00:11:02.685 --> 00:11:05.020
TO SECURE US AS HIS BRIDE.
00:11:05.054 --> 00:11:08.023
THAT WAS WHEN THEDOWRY WHO WAS PAID.
00:11:08.057 --> 00:11:10.092
STEP TWO, WHEN IS IT THATTHE GROOM IS GOING TO COME
00:11:10.126 --> 00:11:13.896
AND SNATCH US AWAYUNEXPECTEDLY TO BE WITH HIM?
00:11:13.929 --> 00:11:17.666
THAT'S THE RAPTUREOF THE CHURCH.
00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:19.535
WE DON'T KNOW WHENIT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:11:19.568 --> 00:11:21.070
IT COULD HAPPEN TODAY, BUTUNEXPECTEDLY THE LORD WILL COME,
00:11:21.103 --> 00:11:25.841

00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:27.743
BUT TO TAKE US UP TO BE WITHHIM IN THE FATHER'S HOUSE.
00:11:27.777 --> 00:11:32.314
THAT IS THE RAPTURE OF THECHURCH THAT IS YET TO COME.
00:11:32.348 --> 00:11:35.718
AND AFTER THATRAPTURE OF THE CHURCH,
00:11:35.751 --> 00:11:38.854

00:11:38.888 --> 00:11:42.124
AFTER THE MARRIAGEIS CONSUMMATED.
00:11:42.158 --> 00:11:45.161
WE ARE UNITED WITHCHRIST AT THE RAPTURE
00:11:45.194 --> 00:11:48.230
AND THEN AT A TIME TO BEDESIGNATED, SEVEN YEARS LATER,
00:11:48.264 --> 00:11:52.668

00:11:52.701 --> 00:11:56.205
WILL RETURN TO EARTH FORTHEIR GREAT MARRIAGE CEREMONY.

00:12:03.712 --> 00:12:05.881
"AND IT WAS GIVEN TOHER," THAT IS THE BRIDE,
00:12:05.915 --> 00:12:08.884
"TO CLOTHE HERSELF IN FINELINEN, BRIGHT AND CLEAN,
00:12:08.918 --> 00:12:12.855
FOR THE FINE LINEN IS THERIGHTEOUS ACTS OF THE SAINTS."
00:12:12.888 --> 00:12:17.326
THE BRIDE IS GETTING READYDURING THE TRIBULATION.
00:12:17.359 --> 00:12:20.996
WE, THE BRIDE, ARE INHEAVEN WITH THE GROOM,
00:12:21.030 --> 00:12:23.098
WE'RE GETTING READYTO COME BACK TO EARTH
00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:25.067
FOR THIS GREAT CELEBRATION,THE MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE LAMB.
00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:31.273
AND HOW ARE WE GOINGTO CLOTHE OURSELVES?
00:12:31.307 --> 00:12:32.942
WITH BRIGHT LINEN.
00:12:32.975 --> 00:12:35.010
THAT IS, IF YOU DON'TKNOW WHAT THAT IS,
00:12:35.044 --> 00:12:36.979
IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSACTS OF THE SAINTS.
00:12:37.012 --> 00:12:40.783
AND SO THE CHURCHIS ADORNING HERSELF
00:12:40.816 --> 00:12:43.986
WITH THOSE RIGHTEOUSACTS TO GET READY
00:12:44.019 --> 00:12:46.922
FOR THE WEDDINGFEAST OF THE LAMB.
00:12:46.956 --> 00:12:49.225
NOW LOOK AT THIS, A BLESSINGFOR THE WEDDING GUESTS.
00:12:49.258 --> 00:12:51.794
THIS IS SO INTERESTING,VERSE NINE.
00:12:51.827 --> 00:12:53.762
"THEN JOHN SAID TO ME,WRITE THIS, WRITE THIS DOWN,
00:12:53.796 --> 00:12:58.400
BLESSED," LITERALLY HAPPY,"ARE THOSE WHO ARE INVITED
00:12:58.434 --> 00:13:03.138
TO THE MARRIAGESUPPER OF THE LAMB."
00:13:03.172 --> 00:13:05.541
IT IS A HAPPY THING IFYOU RECEIVE AN INVITATION
00:13:05.574 --> 00:13:10.980
TO THE WEDDINGFEAST OF THE LAMB.
00:13:11.013 --> 00:13:14.516
YOU KNOW, I'VE OFTENTRIED TO PICTURE
00:13:14.550 --> 00:13:16.385
WHAT THAT WEDDINGSUPPER WOULD BE LIKE.
00:13:16.418 --> 00:13:19.054
JUST IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULDBE LIKE IN A BANQUET HALL
00:13:19.088 --> 00:13:22.258
SURROUNDED BY THE SAINTSOF ALL OF THE AGES.
00:13:22.291 --> 00:13:26.028
JUST IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULDBE LIKE FOR YOU TO BE THERE
00:13:26.061 --> 00:13:29.031
WITH YOUR PARENTSAND YOUR GRANDPARENTS
00:13:29.064 --> 00:13:31.100
AND ANYBODY ELSE WHO WASINSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING YOU
00:13:31.133 --> 00:13:34.203
KNOW CHRIST AS SAVIOR.
00:13:34.236 --> 00:13:36.572
IMAGINE ALL THECHATTER THAT WILL GO ON
00:13:36.605 --> 00:13:39.008
THROUGH THAT DINNER ASPEOPLE SHARE WITH ONE ANOTHER
00:13:39.041 --> 00:13:41.777
THEIR STORY OF HOW THEYCAME TO FAITH IN CHRIST.
00:13:41.810 --> 00:13:46.181
AND THEN AT A MOMENTIN THAT CEREMONY,
00:13:46.215 --> 00:13:50.953
JOHN THE BAPTIST STANDSUP, AND IN HIS RIGHT HAND
00:13:50.986 --> 00:13:54.924
HE HAS A GOLDEN CHALICEFILLED WITH THAT NEW WINE.
00:13:54.957 --> 00:13:59.662
AND HE SAYS, "TONIGHT IWANT TO PROPOSE A TOAST
00:13:59.695 --> 00:14:05.100
TO THE ONE WHO MADEALL OF THIS POSSIBLE,
00:14:05.134 --> 00:14:08.704
THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKESAWAY THE SIN OF THE EARTH,
00:14:08.737 --> 00:14:12.608
OUR LORD AND SAVIORJESUS CHRIST."
00:14:12.641 --> 00:14:16.245
AND WITH THAT, EVERYONE RISES
00:14:16.278 --> 00:14:18.247
TO A SUSTAINED,UNENDING OVATION.
00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:22.217
THAT'S WHAT IT'SGOING TO BE LIKE
00:14:22.251 --> 00:14:23.953
AT THE MARRIAGESUPPER OF THE LAMB.
00:14:23.986 --> 00:14:26.121
BLESSED IS THE ONE WHOIS INVITED TO THAT.
00:14:26.155 --> 00:14:30.359
NOW THAT SETS THE STAGE FORTHE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:14:30.392 --> 00:14:36.098
BEFORE THAT WEDDINGSUPPER CAN OCCUR,
00:14:36.131 --> 00:14:38.968
JESUS AND HIS BRIDE MUSTCOME BACK TO EARTH AGAIN.
00:14:39.001 --> 00:14:42.905
IT BEGINS AT THEBEGINNING HIS MILLENNIUM,
00:14:42.938 --> 00:14:45.240
THAT WEDDING SUPPER, THEYHAVE TO RETURN TO EARTH AGAIN,
00:14:45.274 --> 00:14:48.310
BUT SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPENBEFORE THEY GET TO EARTH.
00:14:48.344 --> 00:14:50.879
AND THAT IS ALL OF THEENEMIES OF THE GROOM
00:14:50.913 --> 00:14:53.949
AND THE BRIDE HAVETO BE EXTINGUISHED.
00:14:53.983 --> 00:14:57.019
AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEE HAPPENING
00:14:57.052 --> 00:14:58.921
AT THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:14:58.954 --> 00:15:01.190
LOOK AT VERSE 11, ADESCRIPTION OF THE COMING KING.
00:15:01.223 --> 00:15:04.159
"AND I SAW HEAVENOPEN," JOHN SAYS,
00:15:04.193 --> 00:15:06.996
"AND BEHOLD, A WHITE HORSE,
00:15:07.029 --> 00:15:08.998
AND HE WHO SAT UPON IT ISCALLED FAITHFUL AND TRUE."
00:15:09.031 --> 00:15:12.401
THAT WORD FAITHFUL MEANSABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY,
00:15:12.434 --> 00:15:16.138
TRUE, GENUINE, "AND INRIGHTEOUSNESS HE JUDGES
00:15:16.171 --> 00:15:20.409
AND WAGES WAR, FOR HISEYES OR A FLAME OF FIRE."
00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:24.613
TALKS ABOUT HISPIERCING JUDGMENT,
00:15:24.646 --> 00:15:26.715
"AND ON HIS HEADARE MANY DIADEMS,
00:15:26.749 --> 00:15:29.718
AND HE HAS A NAME WRITTEN ON HIM
00:15:29.752 --> 00:15:31.553
WHICH NO ONE KNOWSEXCEPT HIMSELF.
00:15:31.587 --> 00:15:34.089
HE IS CLOTHED WITH AROBE DIPPED IN BLOOD."
00:15:34.123 --> 00:15:38.494
IT'S NOT IN HIS BLOOD,
00:15:38.527 --> 00:15:39.695
IT'S IN THE BLOOD OFHIS ADVERSARIES ON EARTH
00:15:39.728 --> 00:15:42.398
WHO ARE FIGHTING HIM.
00:15:42.431 --> 00:15:43.565
"AND HIS NAME IS CALLEDTHE WORD OF GOD."
00:15:43.599 --> 00:15:46.035
THIS IS WHAT WAS ANTICIPATEDIN ZACHARIAH 14:3-4
00:15:46.068 --> 00:15:50.472
ABOUT JESUS RETURNING TOEARTH, TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
00:15:50.506 --> 00:15:54.676
CAUSING SUCH A REACTIONTHAT THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:58.747
WILL SPLIT IN TWO.
00:15:58.781 --> 00:16:00.983
THIS IS THE SECOND COMINGOF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
00:16:01.016 --> 00:16:04.686
AND NOTICE IN VERSE 14, THEDESCRIPTION OF THE KING'S ARMY.
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.424
"AND THE ARMIES WHICH ARE INHEAVEN, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN,
00:16:08.457 --> 00:16:13.262
WHITE AND CLEAN, WEREFOLLOWING HIM ON WHITE HORSES."
00:16:13.295 --> 00:16:17.132
WHO IS THIS ARMY FROMHEAVEN THAT FOLLOWS HIM?
00:16:17.166 --> 00:16:19.668
SOME PEOPLE SAY, WELL,IT'S THE ANGELS, MAYBE.
00:16:19.701 --> 00:16:22.271
THE TRIBULATION SAINTS, MAYBE.
00:16:22.304 --> 00:16:24.073
MAYBE IT WAS THE OLDTESTAMENT SAINTS.
00:16:24.106 --> 00:16:25.974
IT'S THE CHURCH.
00:16:26.008 --> 00:16:27.242
IT IS YOU AND I.
00:16:27.276 --> 00:16:29.078
HOW DO I KNOW THAT?
00:16:29.111 --> 00:16:30.946
THAT DESCRIPTION, "THEYWERE CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN."
00:16:30.979 --> 00:16:34.616
REMEMBER WE SAWEARLIER THAT THE BRIDE
00:16:34.650 --> 00:16:36.919
WAS MAKING HERSELFREADY AND FINE LINEN,
00:16:36.952 --> 00:16:39.721
WHICH IS THE RIGHTEOUSOF THE SAINTS.
00:16:39.755 --> 00:16:43.492
NOW LOOK AT A DESCRIPTIONOF THE WARRIOR KING
00:16:43.525 --> 00:16:45.727
IN VERSES 15 AND 16.
00:16:45.761 --> 00:16:47.596
"AND FROM HIS MOUTHCOMES A SHARP SWORD,
00:16:47.629 --> 00:16:49.798
SO THAT WITH IT, HE MAYSTRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS."
00:16:49.832 --> 00:16:54.269
WHAT IS THAT SHARP SWORD?IT'S THE WORD OF GOD.
00:16:54.303 --> 00:16:57.973
THE WORD OF GOD ISALIVE AND IT'S ACTIVE
00:16:58.006 --> 00:17:00.008
AND IT'S SHARPER THANANY TWO-EDGED SWORD.
00:17:00.042 --> 00:17:03.312
"AND HE TREADS THE WINE PRESS
00:17:03.345 --> 00:17:06.048
OF THE FIERCE WRATHOF GOD, THE ALMIGHTY."
00:17:06.081 --> 00:17:09.518
WE SAW THAT IMAGERYEARLIER IN CHAPTER 14,
00:17:09.551 --> 00:17:12.121
"HE WILL TREAD THE WINE PRESSOF THE FIERCE WRATH OF GOD."
00:17:12.154 --> 00:17:16.625
THIS BRINGS ABOUT,THERE ARE THREE ASPECTS
00:17:16.658 --> 00:17:19.294
OF THIS VICTORY OF THE KING.
00:17:19.328 --> 00:17:20.963
FIRST OF ALL, IT'S REFERREDTO AS THE SUPPER OF GOD.
00:17:20.996 --> 00:17:25.601
SO, LISTEN TO ME.
00:17:25.634 --> 00:17:27.536
IN THE BOOK OFREVELATION CHAPTER 19,
00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:30.105
THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWOSUPPERS THAT ARE DESCRIBED.
00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:33.675
THE FIRST SUPPER WE'VEALREADY TALKED ABOUT,
00:17:33.709 --> 00:17:36.078
THE WEDDING SUPPER OF THE LAMB.
00:17:36.111 --> 00:17:38.480
AND JOHN SAID, BLESSED, HAPPY,
00:17:38.514 --> 00:17:40.349
ARE THOSE WHO GET ANINVITATION TO THAT SUPPER.
00:17:40.382 --> 00:17:43.819
BUT THIS IS ADIFFERENT SUPPER HERE.
00:17:43.852 --> 00:17:45.988
IT'S CALLED THE SUPPER OF GOD.
00:17:46.021 --> 00:17:50.526
AND THAT IS AN INVITATION
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.127
YOU NEVER WANT TORECEIVE IN THE MAIL.
00:17:52.161 --> 00:17:55.497
YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN HERE.
00:17:55.531 --> 00:17:56.899
THIS IS A SUPPER OFJUDGMENT. VERSES 17 AND 18.
00:17:56.932 --> 00:18:00.602
"THEN I SAW AN ANGELSTANDING IN THE SUN,
00:18:00.636 --> 00:18:03.739
AND HE CRIED OUT WITH A LOUDVOICE, SAYING TO ALL THE BIRDS
00:18:03.772 --> 00:18:06.842
WHICH FLY IN MIDHEAVEN,'COME AND ASSEMBLE
00:18:06.875 --> 00:18:09.912
FOR THE GREAT SUPPER OF GOD,SO THAT YOU MAY EAT THE FLESH
00:18:09.945 --> 00:18:14.816
OF KINGS AND THEFLESH OF COMMANDERS
00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:17.052
AND THE FLESH OF MIGHTYMEN AND THE FLESH OF HORSES
00:18:17.085 --> 00:18:20.355
AND OF THOSE WHO SIT UPONTHEM AND THE FLESH OF ALL MEN,
00:18:20.389 --> 00:18:23.225
BOTH FREE MEN AND SLAVES,OF SMALL AND GREAT.'"
00:18:23.258 --> 00:18:28.931
THERE ARE GOING TO BE MILLIONSUPON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
00:18:28.964 --> 00:18:32.201
WHO WILL BE SLAUGHTEREDON THAT DAY.
00:18:32.234 --> 00:18:35.103
THAT IS THE GREAT SUPPER OF GOD.
00:18:35.137 --> 00:18:38.073
NOTICE SECONDLY, THEJUDGMENT OF THE BEAST
00:18:38.106 --> 00:18:40.709
AND THE FALSE PROPHET.
00:18:40.742 --> 00:18:42.177
VERSE 19, "AND I SAW THE BEASTAND THE KINGS OF THE EARTH
00:18:42.211 --> 00:18:45.547
AND THEIR ARMIES ASSEMBLEDTO MAKE WAR AGAINST CHRIST
00:18:45.581 --> 00:18:48.383
WHO SAT UPON THE HORSEAND AGAINST HIS ARMY.
00:18:48.417 --> 00:18:51.486
AND THE BEAST," THEANTICHRIST, "WAS SEIZED,
00:18:51.520 --> 00:18:54.823
AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET
00:18:54.856 --> 00:18:56.358
WHO PERFORMED THESIGNS IN HIS PRESENCE,
00:18:56.391 --> 00:18:58.760
BY WHICH HE RECEIVEDTHOSE WHO HAD RECEIVED
00:18:58.794 --> 00:19:00.963
THE MARK OF THE BEAST ANDTHOSE WHO WORSHIPED HIS IMAGE,
00:19:00.996 --> 00:19:03.966
AND THESE TWO," THAT IS THEANTICHRIST AND FALSE PROPHET,
00:19:03.999 --> 00:19:07.703
"WERE THRONE ALIVEINTO THE LAKE OF FIRE,
00:19:07.736 --> 00:19:12.040
WHICH BURNS WITH BRIMSTONE."
00:19:12.074 --> 00:19:15.043
THIS IS THE FIRST MENTIONOF THE LAKE OF FIRE
00:19:15.077 --> 00:19:17.179
IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:19:17.212 --> 00:19:19.047
IT IS THE ETERNALPLACE OF TORMENT
00:19:19.081 --> 00:19:22.017
FOR THOSE WHO DIEAPART FROM CHRIST.
00:19:22.050 --> 00:19:24.987
AND THAT IS THE AWFULTRUTH ABOUT HELL,
00:19:25.020 --> 00:19:27.856
THE FINAL JUDGMENTPLACE OF THE UNSAVED.
00:19:27.889 --> 00:19:31.860
A PERSON WHO GOES TO HELLISN'T JUST DESTROYED.
00:19:31.893 --> 00:19:35.197
THEY CONTINUE TO SUFFER, TOBE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT,
00:19:35.230 --> 00:19:40.068
FOREVER AND EVER.
00:19:40.102 --> 00:19:42.170
GOD NEVER MEANTFOR HUMANS BEINGS
00:19:42.204 --> 00:19:44.139
TO OCCUPY THE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:19:44.172 --> 00:19:45.741
IT WAS DESIGNED FORTHE DEVIL, HIS ANGELS,
00:19:45.774 --> 00:19:48.277
FOR THE BEAST ANDTHE FALSE PROPHET.
00:19:48.310 --> 00:19:50.512
BUT THOSE WHO REJECT THEGRACE, THE FORGIVENESS OF GOD,
00:19:50.545 --> 00:19:55.117
WILL SPEND ETERNITYTHERE AS WELL.
00:19:55.150 --> 00:19:57.719
AND THEN WE SEE THISFINAL WORD IN VERSE 21
00:19:57.753 --> 00:19:59.788
ABOUT THE SWORD OF CHRIST.
00:19:59.821 --> 00:20:00.989
"AND THE REST WEREKILLED WITH THE SWORD
00:20:01.023 --> 00:20:03.659
WHICH CAME FROM THE MOUTHOF HIM WHO SAT ON THE HORSE,
00:20:03.692 --> 00:20:07.195
AND ALL THE BIRDS WEREFILLED WITH THEIR FLESH."
00:20:07.229 --> 00:20:14.102
THIS IS THE FUTURE
00:20:14.136 --> 00:20:16.138
THAT AWAITS THOSE WHO DIEAPART FROM CHRIST JESUS.
00:20:16.171 --> 00:20:20.208
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HERE AND NOW?
00:20:20.242 --> 00:20:23.412
I CLOSE WITH THIS, PERHAPSTHE BEST KNOWN VERSE
00:20:23.445 --> 00:20:26.481
IN THE ENTIRE BIBLE,BY CHRISTIANS AND
00:20:26.515 --> 00:20:30.552
NON-CHRISTIANSALIKE, IS JOHN 3:16.
00:20:30.585 --> 00:20:34.823
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
00:20:34.856 --> 00:20:37.759
THAT HE GAVE HISONLY BEGOTTEN SON,
00:20:37.793 --> 00:20:41.430
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN,TRUSTS IN, CLINGS TO HIM,
00:20:41.463 --> 00:20:45.701
"WILL NOT PERISH, BUTHAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
00:20:45.734 --> 00:20:49.604
FOR GOD DID NOT SENDHIS SON INTO THE WORLD
00:20:49.638 --> 00:20:52.107
TO JUDGE THE WORLD,
00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:54.242
BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGHHIM MIGHT BE SAVED."
00:20:54.276 --> 00:20:58.180
PEOPLE MISINTERPRET THAT.
00:20:58.213 --> 00:20:59.614
THEY SAY, OH, WELL SEE,PASTOR, JESUS, ISN'T A JUDGE.
00:20:59.648 --> 00:21:02.017
NO, HE DIDN'T COME TO JUDGETHE WORLD THE FIRST TIME,
00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:04.786
HE DIDN'T COME INTO THEWORLD THE FIRST TIME
00:21:04.820 --> 00:21:06.788
TO JUDGE THE WORLD, HE CAMEAS SAVIOR TO SAVE THE WORLD.
00:21:06.822 --> 00:21:11.493
HE DIDN'T COME THE FIRST TIMETO JUDGE, HE CAME TO SAVE.
00:21:11.526 --> 00:21:14.996
JOHN GOES ON TO EXPLAIN,"FOR HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM
00:21:15.030 --> 00:21:18.667
IS NOT JUDGED, BUT HEWHO DOES NOT BELIEVE
00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:22.070
HAS BEEN JUDGED ALREADY,BECAUSE HE DOES NOT BELIEVE
00:21:22.104 --> 00:21:24.873
IN THE NAME OF THE ONLYBEGOTTEN SON OF GOD."
00:21:24.906 --> 00:21:29.444
YOU SEE, A LOT OF PEOPLETHINK WHEN WE'RE BORN
00:21:29.478 --> 00:21:31.446
INTO THIS WORLD, WE'REBORN SPIRITUALLY NEUTRAL,
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.949
AND WHEN WE DIE, YOU KNOW,IT'S KIND OF A CRAPSHOOT
00:21:33.982 --> 00:21:36.852
WHETHER WE GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL,
00:21:36.885 --> 00:21:38.787
DEPENDING ON HOW NICE WE AREWHILE HERE ON PLANET EARTH.
00:21:38.820 --> 00:21:43.225
NO, WHEN WE ENTER THIS WORLD,WE ENTER ALIENATED FROM GOD.
00:21:43.258 --> 00:21:47.195
WE ARE LIKE PRISONERSON DEATH ROW
