A MAN CONVICTED OFMURDER IN CALIFORNIA,
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:50.099
WAS FINALLY EXECUTED.
00:01:50.133 --> 00:01:52.602
HE HAD SPENT 14YEARS ON DEATH ROW

AS THE PRESS, HIS FAMILYAND THE VICTIM'S FAMILY
00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:27.036
LOOKED ON FROM THE VIEWING AREA,

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ASWIFT AND CERTAIN JUDGMENT,
00:03:30.433 --> 00:03:36.172
FOR THOSE WHO ARE GUILTY. THEMISTAKE WE MAKE THOUGH,
00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:40.376
IS ASSUMING THAT GOD'S JUSTICE
00:03:40.410 --> 00:03:42.912
IS JUST AS ARBITRARY ASOUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS.
00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:48.785
BUT GOD IS NOT LIKE WE ARE,
00:03:48.818 --> 00:03:52.088
THE BIBLE TELLS US,
00:03:52.121 --> 00:03:53.256
THERE IS A FINAL JUDGMENT COMING
00:03:53.289 --> 00:03:56.192
FOR ALL THOSE WHODON'T KNOW CHRIST,
00:03:56.225 --> 00:03:59.128
WITHOUT ANY PROMISEOF PARDON OR PAROLE.
00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:03.499
AND IT'S THAT FINALJUDGMENT THAT WE'VE COME TO
00:04:03.533 --> 00:04:06.169
IN OUR STUDY OF THEBOOK OF REVELATION.
00:04:06.202 --> 00:04:08.805
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES
00:04:08.838 --> 00:04:09.772
TURN TO REVELATION 20,
00:04:09.806 --> 00:04:12.709
BEGINNING WITH VERSE 7,
00:04:12.742 --> 00:04:14.610
AS WE LOOK AT GOD'S FINALJUDGMENT AGAINST UNBELIEVERS.
00:04:14.644 --> 00:04:20.650
REVELATION 20.
00:04:20.683 --> 00:04:22.652
LET ME REMIND YOU
00:04:22.685 --> 00:04:23.920
WHERE WE ARE IN OURSTUDY OF REVELATION.
00:04:23.953 --> 00:04:26.322
LAST TIME WE LOOKED AT THEFIRST SIX VERSES OF CHAPTER 20,
00:04:26.356 --> 00:04:29.659
THAT DESCRIBE THE MILLENNIUM,
00:04:29.692 --> 00:04:31.961
THE THOUSAND YEAR REIGNOF CHRIST UPON THE EARTH.
00:04:31.994 --> 00:04:35.932
REMEMBER, AT THE SECONDCOMING OF CHRIST,
00:04:35.965 --> 00:04:39.102
THE ANTICHRIST FORCES AREDEFEATED AT ARMAGEDDON.
00:04:39.135 --> 00:04:42.972
CHRIST COMES ANDSETS UP HIS KINGDOM.
00:04:43.005 --> 00:04:46.142
AND THAT MILLENNIUM,
00:04:46.175 --> 00:04:47.377
THAT THOUSAND YEARREIGN OF CHRIST
00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:49.245
IS THE TIME THAT JESUS
00:04:49.278 --> 00:04:51.047
WILL FULFILL EVERYUNCONDITIONAL PROMISE
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:53.950
THAT GOD HAD MADE,
00:04:53.983 --> 00:04:55.351
TO BELIEVING ISRAEL.
00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:57.320
AND WE FIND THAT DESCRIBEDIN VERSES 1 TO 3,
00:04:57.353 --> 00:05:01.090
BEFORE CHRIST CANBEGIN HIS REIGN
00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:03.493
DURING THOSE THOUSAND YEARS,
00:05:03.526 --> 00:05:04.794
AN IMPORTANT OCCURRENCENEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
00:05:04.827 --> 00:05:08.765
VERSE 1, "THEN ISAW AN ANGEL," JOHN SAID,
00:05:08.798 --> 00:05:11.901
"COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN,HOLDING THE KEY OF THE ABYSS
00:05:11.934 --> 00:05:16.305
AND A GREAT CHAIN IN HIS HAND."THE KEY TO THE ABYSS,
00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:20.410
REMEMBER THE ABYSS,THE BOTTOMLESS PIT,
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:23.479
IS A PLACE RIGHT NOW,
00:05:23.513 --> 00:05:25.047
WHERE THERE AREA GROUP OF DEMONS
00:05:25.081 --> 00:05:26.816
WHO HAVE BEEN JUDGED ALREADY
00:05:26.849 --> 00:05:29.152
AND ARE BEING HELD FORTHEIR FINAL JUDGMENT.
00:05:29.185 --> 00:05:31.988
IT IS A HORRIBLEPLACE, THE ABYSS.
00:05:32.021 --> 00:05:35.024
THE PLACE OF JUDGMENTFOR THE DEMONS.
00:05:35.057 --> 00:05:37.994
AND JOHN SAID,
00:05:38.027 --> 00:05:39.228
"I SAW AN ANGELWHO HELD THE KEY,
00:05:39.262 --> 00:05:40.930
TO OPEN UP THAT ABYSS."
00:05:40.963 --> 00:05:42.532
HE ALSO HAD A CHAIN IN HIS HAND.
00:05:42.565 --> 00:05:44.901
AND WHAT DID HE DO?
00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:45.935
THE ANGEL LAID HOLD, VERSE 2,
00:05:45.968 --> 00:05:48.037
OF THE DRAGON, THESERPENT OF OLD,
00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:50.106
WHO IS THE DEVIL AND SATAN,
00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:51.908
AND BOUND HIM FORA THOUSAND YEARS.
00:05:51.941 --> 00:05:55.578
AND HE THREW SATAN INTOTHE ABYSS AND HE SHUT IT
00:05:55.611 --> 00:05:58.981
AND HE SEALED IT OVER HIM,
00:05:59.015 --> 00:06:00.917
THAT SATAN WOULD NOT DECEIVETHE NATIONS ANY LONGER,
00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:04.787
UNTIL A THOUSANDYEARS WERE COMPLETED.
00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:08.157
THE PRIMARY FEATUREOF THIS PERIOD,
00:06:08.191 --> 00:06:10.393
KNOWN AS THE MILLENNIUM,
00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:11.894
IS THAT SATAN ISGOING TO BE BOUND.
00:06:11.928 --> 00:06:15.031
HE IS NO LONGERFREE LIKE HE IS NOW,
00:06:15.064 --> 00:06:17.567
TO ROAM UP AND DOWN THE EARTH
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.869
AND TO DECEIVE BELIEVERSAND UNBELIEVERS ALIKE.
00:06:19.902 --> 00:06:23.539
HE WILL BE BOUND FORA THOUSAND YEARS,
00:06:23.573 --> 00:06:26.676
THAT'S WHY IT'S LUDICROUS TO SAY
00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:28.845
THAT WE'RE LIVING IN THEMILLENNIUM RIGHT NOW.
00:06:28.878 --> 00:06:31.280
SATAN IS ANYTHING BUT BOUND,
00:06:31.314 --> 00:06:32.982
JUST READ YOUR NEWSPAPERS,
00:06:33.015 --> 00:06:35.084
JUST LOOK AT YOUR TELEVISION.
00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:36.919
SATAN SEEMS TO HAVE FREEREIGN OVER THE WORLD
00:06:36.953 --> 00:06:40.122
BUT IT WON'T ALWAYS BE THAT WAY.
00:06:40.156 --> 00:06:42.124
DURING THE MILLENNIUM,
00:06:42.158 --> 00:06:43.326
HE IS BOUND FORTHE THOUSAND YEARS,
00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:45.394
UNTIL THE THOUSANDYEARS WERE COMPLETED.
00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:49.699
AND THEN NOTICE THE LASTPHRASE OF VERSE THREE,
00:06:49.732 --> 00:06:52.201
"AFTER THESE THINGS,
00:06:52.235 --> 00:06:54.170
SATAN MUST BE RELEASEDFOR A SHORT TIME."
00:06:54.203 --> 00:06:58.074
WHY MUST SATAN BE RELEASED?
00:06:58.107 --> 00:06:59.809
I MEAN, YOU WOULDTHINK GOD HAS HIM.
00:06:59.842 --> 00:07:01.611
HE'S BOUND HIM UP,
00:07:01.644 --> 00:07:03.012
HE'S THROWN HIM IN THE ABYSS.
00:07:03.045 --> 00:07:04.547
SURELY, THAT'S THE END.
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:05.882
NO, THERE'S ONE FINAL REBELLION
00:07:05.915 --> 00:07:08.284
THAT MUST TAKE PLACE.
00:07:08.317 --> 00:07:09.418
BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT,
00:07:09.452 --> 00:07:11.320
LOOK AT VERSES FOUR THROUGH SIX.
00:07:11.354 --> 00:07:13.489
BECAUSE JOHN DESCRIBESSOMETHING ELSE
00:07:13.523 --> 00:07:15.358
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND AS WELL.
00:07:15.391 --> 00:07:17.727
AND THAT'S THE CONCEPTOF THE TWO RESURRECTIONS.
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:21.297
WE TALKED ABOUT THISAT LENGTH LAST TIME.
00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:23.566
BUT REMEMBER JOHN SAIDTHERE ARE TWO RESURRECTIONS,
00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:29.438
FOR THE SAVED AND THE UNSAVED.
00:07:29.472 --> 00:07:30.706
THE SAVED ARE GOING TO HAVETHEIR BODIES RESURRECTED
00:07:30.740 --> 00:07:34.443
AND CHANGED SO THATTHEY CAN EXPERIENCE
00:07:34.477 --> 00:07:36.612
GOD'S BLESSING FOREVER.
00:07:36.646 --> 00:07:38.414
THAT'S THE FIRST RESURRECTION,
00:07:38.447 --> 00:07:39.916
THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAVED.
00:07:39.949 --> 00:07:41.817
BUT THERE IS ASECOND RESURRECTION,
00:07:41.851 --> 00:07:43.719
THE RESURRECTION OF THE UNSAVED,
00:07:43.753 --> 00:07:46.455
THAT WE'LL LOOK ATIN JUST A MOMENT.
00:07:46.489 --> 00:07:48.024
AND GOD RAISES THEM UP,
00:07:48.057 --> 00:07:50.426
HE GIVES THEM A NEW BODY,
00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:51.894
NOT TO EXPERIENCE GOD'S BLESSING
00:07:51.928 --> 00:07:53.729
BUT TO EXPERIENCE GOD'S JUDGMENT
00:07:53.763 --> 00:07:55.998
FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER.
00:07:56.032 --> 00:07:58.568
AND THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:07:58.601 --> 00:07:59.669
REVELATION 20:6,
00:07:59.702 --> 00:08:01.337
"BLESSED IS THE PERSON
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:03.105
WHO IS A PART OF THEFIRST RESURRECTION."
00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:05.174
THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAVED,
00:08:05.207 --> 00:08:06.976
BECAUSE OVER HIM,
00:08:07.009 --> 00:08:08.444
THE SECOND DEATH HAS NO POWER.
00:08:08.477 --> 00:08:12.582
THE FIRST RESURRECTIONOCCURS IN STAGES.
00:08:12.615 --> 00:08:16.619
EACH MAN SHALL BE RAISED,
00:08:16.652 --> 00:08:18.020
PAUL SAID IN FIRSTCORINTHIANS 15,
00:08:18.054 --> 00:08:19.622
ACCORDING TO HIS OWN ORDER.
00:08:19.655 --> 00:08:23.292
TOGMA, PLACE IN THAT PARADE.
00:08:23.326 --> 00:08:26.562
BUT THE SECOND RESURRECTION,
00:08:26.596 --> 00:08:28.164
THE RESURRECTION OF THE UNSAVED,
00:08:28.197 --> 00:08:29.432
AS WE'LL SEE IN A MINUTE,
00:08:29.465 --> 00:08:31.200
HAPPENS AT ONE TIME.
00:08:31.233 --> 00:08:32.802
THERE'S ONE POINT IN HISTORY
00:08:32.835 --> 00:08:34.437
WHEN ALL THE UNSAVEDWILL BE RAISED
00:08:34.470 --> 00:08:37.340
TO EXPERIENCE GOD'S JUDGMENT.
00:08:37.373 --> 00:08:40.042
AND THAT'S WHAT WE COME TO,
00:08:40.076 --> 00:08:41.844
WHEN WE COME TO VERSE SEVEN.
00:08:41.877 --> 00:08:44.747
BEFORE, JOHN DESCRIBES
00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:47.149
THE FINAL JUDGMENTOF THE UNSAVED
00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:49.852
IN ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYINGPASSAGES OF ALL THE BIBLE.
00:08:49.885 --> 00:08:54.023
JOHN DESCRIBES ACURIOUS HAPPENING
00:08:54.056 --> 00:08:56.692
THAT OCCURS AT THEEND OF THE MILLENNIUM.
00:08:56.726 --> 00:09:00.429
LOOK AT THIS IN VERSE SEVEN,
00:09:00.463 --> 00:09:02.298
"AND WHEN THE THOUSANDYEARS ARE COMPLETED,
00:09:02.331 --> 00:09:05.134
SATAN WILL BERELEASED FROM PRISON."
00:09:05.167 --> 00:09:07.770
IN FACT, VERSE THREE SAYS,
00:09:07.803 --> 00:09:09.205
HE MUST BE RELEASEDAFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:09:09.238 --> 00:09:13.175
WHY?
00:09:13.209 --> 00:09:14.110
TO LEAD ONE FINAL REBELLION.
00:09:14.143 --> 00:09:16.646
LOOK AT VERSE EIGHT,
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:17.913
WHO ARE THE PARTICIPANTSIN THIS REBELLION?
00:09:17.947 --> 00:09:20.650
SATAN WILL COME OUTTO DECEIVE THE NATIONS
00:09:20.683 --> 00:09:23.786
WHICH ARE IN THE FOURCORNERS OF THE EARTH,
00:09:23.819 --> 00:09:26.222
GOG AND MAGOG,
00:09:26.255 --> 00:09:28.758
TO GATHER THEMTOGETHER FOR THE WAR;
00:09:28.791 --> 00:09:31.360
THE NUMBER OF THEM IS LIKETHE SAND OF THE SEASHORE."
00:09:31.394 --> 00:09:36.065
NOW THE TERMS, GOG AND MAGOG
00:09:36.098 --> 00:09:37.867
SOMETIMES IN THE BIBLEREFER TO SPECIFIC NATIONS
00:09:37.900 --> 00:09:42.405
BUT HERE IS JUST AGENERIC REFERENCE
00:09:42.438 --> 00:09:44.907
SHOWING THAT THEREWILL BE PEOPLE
00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:47.076
FROM EVERY NATION OF THE WORLD
00:09:47.109 --> 00:09:48.744
WHO WILL CHOOSE TOREBEL AGAINST GOD.
00:09:48.778 --> 00:09:52.648
THIS IS THE FINAL REBELLIONOF MAN AGAINST GOD.
00:09:52.682 --> 00:09:56.185
NOW, REMEMBER THIS HAPPENSAT THE END OF THE MILLENNIUM.
00:09:56.218 --> 00:09:59.255
SO THE NATURAL QUESTION IS,
00:09:59.288 --> 00:10:01.290
WHO IS IT AT THE ENDOF THE MILLENNIUM
00:10:01.323 --> 00:10:04.894
THAT WOULD CHOOSE
00:10:04.927 --> 00:10:06.128
TO REBEL AGAINST GODAND FOLLOW SATAN?
00:10:06.162 --> 00:10:09.699
WELL, THE ANSWERTO THAT IS FOUND
00:10:09.732 --> 00:10:12.401
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
00:10:12.435 --> 00:10:13.936
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENTGROUPS OF BELIEVERS
00:10:13.969 --> 00:10:16.305
WHO ENTER THE MILLENNIUM.
00:10:16.338 --> 00:10:18.274
ONE GROUP IS GOING TOBE PEOPLE LIKE US,
00:10:18.307 --> 00:10:21.544
WHO HAVE ALREADY RECEIVEDTHEIR RESURRECTION BODIES.
00:10:21.577 --> 00:10:25.381
WE RECEIVED IT EITHER ATTHE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH
00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:28.384
OR IF YOU'RE SAVEDDURING THE TRIBULATION
00:10:28.417 --> 00:10:30.986
AND YOU'RE MURDERED,
00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:33.823
YOU'LL RECEIVE IT AT THESECOND COMING OF CHRIST.
00:10:33.856 --> 00:10:36.892
BUT THERE'LL BE AWHOLE GROUP OF US,
00:10:36.926 --> 00:10:39.095
WHO ARE IN OURRESURRECTION BODIES.
00:10:39.128 --> 00:10:42.031
BUT THE SECOND GROUP OF PEOPLEWHO ENTER THE MILLENNIUM
00:10:42.064 --> 00:10:46.001
ARE THOSE WHO ENTER INTHEIR NATURAL BODIES.
00:10:46.035 --> 00:10:52.408
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO WERESAVED DURING THE TRIBULATION,
00:10:52.441 --> 00:10:54.910
THEY WEREN'T MURDERED,
00:10:54.944 --> 00:10:56.645
THEY SURVIVED THE TRIBULATION,
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.581
WITH THEIR FAITH INTACTAND THEIR BODIES INTACT.
00:10:58.614 --> 00:11:01.951
AND IT IS THOSE CHRISTIANSIN THEIR NATURAL BODIES,
00:11:01.984 --> 00:11:05.988
WHO DO WHAT PEOPLE DOIN THEIR NATURAL BODIES.
00:11:06.021 --> 00:11:09.859
THEY GET MARRIED,
00:11:09.892 --> 00:11:10.860
THEY PROCREATE,
00:11:10.893 --> 00:11:12.128
THEY HAVE CHILDREN.
00:11:12.161 --> 00:11:14.230
AND SO THERE WILL BE PEOPLEBORN DURING THE MILLENNIUM
00:11:14.263 --> 00:11:18.634
AND IT'S THESE PEOPLE BORN
00:11:18.667 --> 00:11:20.369
DURING THAT THOUSANDYEAR PERIOD OF TIME,
00:11:20.402 --> 00:11:23.172
WILL HAVE TO FACE THEDECISION WE ALL FACE
00:11:23.205 --> 00:11:25.975
AND THAT IS WHETHER OR NOTTO FOLLOW GOD OR SATAN.
00:11:26.008 --> 00:11:30.246
AND STRANGELY,
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:31.781
THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLEBORN DURING THE MILLENNIUM
00:11:31.814 --> 00:11:35.351
WHO WILL ACTUALLY CHOOSE
00:11:35.384 --> 00:11:36.952
AFTER EXPERIENCINGTHE RULE OF CHRIST,
00:11:36.986 --> 00:11:39.455
THE PERFECT RULE OF CHRIST.
00:11:39.488 --> 00:11:41.090
THEY WILL CHOOSE TO FOLLOW SATAN
00:11:41.123 --> 00:11:43.025
IN THAT FINAL REBELLION.
00:11:43.058 --> 00:11:44.660
THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THOSEWHO REBEL AGAINST GOD,
00:11:44.693 --> 00:11:48.430
ARE GOING TO BE THE CHILDREN
00:11:48.464 --> 00:11:50.399
OF THOSE WHO ARE BORNDURING THE MILLENNIUM.
00:11:50.432 --> 00:11:55.037
VERSE 9, LOOK AT THE RESULT OFTHIS REBELLION.
00:11:55.070 --> 00:11:59.208
VERSE 9, "AND THEYCAME UP ON THE
00:11:59.241 --> 00:12:00.509
BROAD PLAIN OF THE EARTH
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:02.711
AND SURROUNDED THE CAMP OF THESAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY,
00:12:02.745 --> 00:12:06.015
AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROMHEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM."
00:12:06.048 --> 00:12:09.885
IN THESE FINAL DAYS,
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.687
THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME WHOARE BORN DURING THE MILLENNIUM,
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.990
WHO WILL CHOOSE TO FOLLOW SATAN.
00:12:15.024 --> 00:12:18.194
AND WE SEE THAT JUDGMENT OFTHE SINNERS IN VERSE 9.
00:12:18.227 --> 00:12:21.297
AND THEN NOTICE IN VERSE 10,
00:12:21.330 --> 00:12:22.765
THE JUDGMENT OF SATAN,
00:12:22.798 --> 00:12:24.567
"AND THE DEVIL WHO DECEIVED THEM
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.070
WAS THROWN INTOTHE LAKE OF FIRE,
00:12:28.103 --> 00:12:30.606
WHERE THE BEAST AND THEFALSE PROPHET ARE ALSO
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.243
AND THEY WILL BETORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT
00:12:34.276 --> 00:12:37.813
FOREVER AND EVER."
00:12:37.847 --> 00:12:39.915
NOW REMEMBER AT THEBEGINNING OF THE MILLENNIUM
00:12:39.949 --> 00:12:41.951
WHEN CHRIST RETURNS TO EARTH,
00:12:41.984 --> 00:12:44.153
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPEN?
00:12:44.186 --> 00:12:45.454
THE ANGEL SEES THE BEASTAND THE FALSE PROPHET,
00:12:45.487 --> 00:12:49.558
THE ANTICHRIST ANDTHE FALSE PROPHET
00:12:49.592 --> 00:12:51.360
AND DROP THEM INTOTHE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:12:51.393 --> 00:12:53.762
THE ETERNAL PLACE OF TORMENT
00:12:53.796 --> 00:12:55.764
FOR THOSE WHO DIEAPART FROM CHRIST.
00:12:55.798 --> 00:12:58.434
BUT AT THAT VERY SAMETIME SATAN WAS TAKEN
00:12:58.467 --> 00:13:02.037
AND HE WASN'T PUT INTO THELAKE OF FIRE AT THAT TIME,
00:13:02.071 --> 00:13:05.040
HE WAS HELD INTO THE ABYSS,
00:13:05.074 --> 00:13:07.343
TO BE HELD THERE FORA THOUSAND YEARS.
00:13:07.376 --> 00:13:10.679
AND AT THE END OF A THOUSANDYEARS HE'S RELEASED,
00:13:10.713 --> 00:13:13.015
HE LEADS THE REBELLION,
00:13:13.048 --> 00:13:14.149
THEN FINALLY, GOD SAYS ENOUGH
00:13:14.183 --> 00:13:17.052
AND HE TAKES SATAN HERE
00:13:17.086 --> 00:13:18.621
AND WHAT DOES HE DO?
00:13:18.654 --> 00:13:19.588
HE TAKES HIM OUT OF THE ABYSS
00:13:19.622 --> 00:13:21.557
AND HE DROPS HIM INTOTHE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:13:21.590 --> 00:13:25.361
AND IT SAYS, THESAME LAKE OF FIRE
00:13:25.394 --> 00:13:28.063
WHERE THE BEAST ANDTHE FALSE PROPHET ARE.
00:13:28.097 --> 00:13:32.001
I WANT YOU TO CIRCLETHAT WORD ARE.
00:13:32.034 --> 00:13:36.138
SOME PEOPLE THINK,WELL, HELL'S BAD.
00:13:36.171 --> 00:13:38.407
IT'S CERTAINLY A TERRIBLE PLACE
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.109
BUT IF I END UP THERE,
00:13:40.142 --> 00:13:41.343
I'LL BE THROWN IN THELAKE OF FIRE, BURNED UP
00:13:41.377 --> 00:13:43.879
AND I WON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.
00:13:43.913 --> 00:13:45.814
NO, THE TORMENT OF THELAKE OF FIRE OR HELL,
00:13:45.848 --> 00:13:49.485
IS FOREVER AND EVER.
00:13:49.518 --> 00:13:52.354
AND HERE'S A GOOD PROOF OF THAT.
00:13:52.388 --> 00:13:55.391
THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET
00:13:55.424 --> 00:13:57.192
HAD BEEN PUT INTOTHE LAKE OF FIRE
00:13:57.226 --> 00:13:59.061
A THOUSAND YEARSBEFORE THIS OCCURS.
00:13:59.094 --> 00:14:03.198
A THOUSAND YEARS
00:14:03.232 --> 00:14:04.633
AFTER THEY HAVE BEENPLACED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE
00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:07.169
AND SATAN IS PUT THERE,
00:14:07.202 --> 00:14:08.971
JOHN SAYS,
00:14:09.004 --> 00:14:10.506
"IT'S THE SAME PLACE WHERE THEBEAST AND FALSE PROPHET ARE."
00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:14.109
NOT WHERE THEY WERE,
00:14:14.143 --> 00:14:16.045
IT'S WHERE THEY ARE.
00:14:16.078 --> 00:14:17.346
THEY CONTINUE TO LIVEIN THAT LAKE OF FIRE,
00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:19.915
A THOUSAND YEARS LATER.
00:14:19.949 --> 00:14:22.117
AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED THERE
00:14:22.151 --> 00:14:24.053
DAY AND NIGHT, FOREVERAND EVER AND EVER.
00:14:24.086 --> 00:14:29.191
SATAN, THE BEAST, THEFALSE PROPHET,
00:14:29.224 --> 00:14:31.827
ARE NOT THE ONLYOCCUPANTS THERE.
00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:34.830
LOOK AT VERSE 11,
00:14:34.863 --> 00:14:36.966
THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT
00:14:36.999 --> 00:14:39.601
THAT WILL SEND UNBELIEVERS TOTHAT TERRIBLE PLACE AS WELL.
00:14:39.635 --> 00:14:43.005
CHAPTER 20:11, JOHN SAYS,
00:14:43.038 --> 00:14:46.375
"THEN I SAW A GREAT WHITETHRONE AND HIM WHO SAT UPON IT,
00:14:46.408 --> 00:14:51.046
FROM WHOSE PRESENCE EARTHAND HEAVEN FLED AWAY,
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.816
AND NO PLACE WASFOUND FOR THEM."
00:14:53.849 --> 00:14:56.085
YOU KNOW THERE ARE MANYREFERENCES TO THE THRONE
00:14:56.118 --> 00:14:58.854
OF GOD IN THE BOOK OFREVELATION.
00:14:58.887 --> 00:15:01.123
WE SEE 30 REFERENCES.REMEMBER IN CHAPTER 4
00:15:01.156 --> 00:15:03.592
AND JOHN SAYS, "AND I SAWHIM WHO SAT UPON THE THRONE."
00:15:03.625 --> 00:15:07.396
THE ONE WHO SAT UP ON THETHRONE WAS NOT GOD, THE FATHER,
00:15:07.429 --> 00:15:11.000
IT IS JESUS CHRIST, THE SON.REMEMBER IN JOHN 5:22,
00:15:11.033 --> 00:15:15.404
THE BIBLE SAYS, JESUS SAID,"FOR THE FATHER JUDGES NO MAN,
00:15:15.437 --> 00:15:19.842
BUT HE HAS COMMITTED ALLJUDGMENT UNTO THE SON."
00:15:19.875 --> 00:15:23.879
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD PEOPLE SAY,
00:15:23.912 --> 00:15:25.381
"WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE IN AJESUS WHO WOULD JUDGE PEOPLE."
00:15:25.414 --> 00:15:27.449
WELL, YOU DON'T BELIEVEIN THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE.
00:15:27.483 --> 00:15:30.019
JESUS IS GOING TOPRESIDE OVER THIS FINAL
00:15:30.052 --> 00:15:32.821
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.
00:15:32.855 --> 00:15:34.690
IN ACTS 17:31, LUKE SAYS,
00:15:34.723 --> 00:15:37.192
"GOD HAS FIXED A DAY
00:15:37.226 --> 00:15:38.660
IN WHICH HE WILL JUDGETHE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:15:38.694 --> 00:15:43.198
THROUGH A MAN HE HAS APPOINTED."
00:15:43.232 --> 00:15:45.667
AND THAT MAN IS CHRIST JESUS.
00:15:45.701 --> 00:15:48.904
WHO ARE THE SUBJECTS OF THISGREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT?
00:15:48.937 --> 00:15:51.440
LOOK AT VERSE 12 AND VERSE 13,
00:15:51.473 --> 00:15:53.475
"AND I SAW THE DEAD,THE GREAT AND THE SMALL,
00:15:53.509 --> 00:15:56.845
STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE,
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.947
AND THE SEA GAVE UP THEDEAD WHICH WERE IN IT
00:15:58.981 --> 00:16:01.750
AND EARTH, DEATH AND HADES
00:16:01.784 --> 00:16:04.019
GAVE UP THE DEADWHICH WERE IN THEM
00:16:04.053 --> 00:16:05.888
AND THEY WERE JUDGEDEVERY ONE OF THEM,
00:16:05.921 --> 00:16:07.890
ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS."
00:16:07.923 --> 00:16:09.691
REMEMBER I SAID THESECOND RESURRECTION,
00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:11.660
OCCURS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
00:16:11.693 --> 00:16:13.796
THIS IS THE TIMETHAT EVERY UNBELIEVER
00:16:13.829 --> 00:16:15.898
WHO HAS EVER LIVEDSINCE THE TIME OF ADAM
00:16:15.931 --> 00:16:18.033
WILL BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD.
00:16:18.067 --> 00:16:19.835
HIS SPIRIT IS ALREADY IN HADES,
00:16:19.868 --> 00:16:21.670
THE TEMPORARY PLACE OFSUFFERING FOR THE UNSAVED,
00:16:21.703 --> 00:16:24.506
BUT HIS BODY IS NOW RAISED,
00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:27.176
NOT FOR BLESSING,
00:16:27.209 --> 00:16:28.811
BUT FOR ETERNAL JUDGMENT.
00:16:28.844 --> 00:16:32.481
IT'S THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
00:16:32.514 --> 00:16:34.783
AND BY THE WAY, WILL YOUNOTICE THIS REFERENCE HERE,
00:16:34.817 --> 00:16:37.352
"I SAW THE GREAT AND THE SMALL."
00:16:37.386 --> 00:16:41.290
DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE,
00:16:41.323 --> 00:16:43.258
THE PRESIDENT OR A PROSTITUTE,
00:16:43.292 --> 00:16:45.394
THE GOVERNOR OR A GUNMAN,
00:16:45.427 --> 00:16:47.296
THE MAYOR OR A MURDERER,
00:16:47.329 --> 00:16:48.831
DOESN'T MATTER TO GOD.
00:16:48.864 --> 00:16:50.699
THAT HE IS NORESPECTER OF PERSONS.
00:16:50.732 --> 00:16:53.202
ANYONE WHO DIES APART FROMFAITH IN JESUS CHRIST,
00:16:53.235 --> 00:16:57.072
WILL BE THE SUBJECT
00:16:57.106 --> 00:16:58.373
OF THIS GREAT WHITETHRONE JUDGMENT.
00:16:58.407 --> 00:17:01.376
AND WHAT IS THE BASISOF THE JUDGMENT?
00:17:01.410 --> 00:17:03.178
VERSE 12,
00:17:03.212 --> 00:17:05.247
"AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED;
00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:08.584
AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS OPENED,
00:17:08.617 --> 00:17:10.085
WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE.
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.121
AND THE DEAD,
00:17:12.154 --> 00:17:13.622
THE UNSAVED THAT IS,
00:17:13.655 --> 00:17:15.090
WE'RE JUDGED FROM THETHINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN
00:17:15.124 --> 00:17:17.259
IN THE BOOKS,
00:17:17.292 --> 00:17:18.760
ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS."
00:17:18.794 --> 00:17:20.963
"THEN DEATH AND HADES WERETHROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
00:17:20.996 --> 00:17:24.533
THIS IS THE SECONDDEATH, THE LAKE OF FIRE."
00:17:24.566 --> 00:17:28.737
THEY ARE JUDGEDACCORDING TO THE BOOKS.
00:17:28.770 --> 00:17:30.939
NOW, PLEASE STAYWITH ME ON THIS.
00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:33.442
SO IMPORTANT YOUUNDERSTAND THIS.
00:17:33.475 --> 00:17:36.078
DID YOU KNOW, GOD KEEPS TWOSETS OF BOOKS, SO TO SPEAK?
00:17:36.111 --> 00:17:41.817
THERE ARE THE BOOKS
00:17:41.850 --> 00:17:43.452
AND THERE IS THE BOOK.
00:17:43.485 --> 00:17:46.989
THE BOOK IS THELAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.
00:17:47.022 --> 00:17:50.225
EVERYBODY'S NAME WASWRITTEN IN THAT BOOK
00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:53.562
BUT IF LEAVE THISPLANET, IF YOU DIE
00:17:53.595 --> 00:17:59.334
BEFORE EVER RECEIVING
00:17:59.368 --> 00:18:01.370
THAT GIFT OF FORGIVENESSIN YOUR OWN LIFE,
00:18:01.403 --> 00:18:03.839
THE BIBLE SAYS YOURNAME IS BLOTTED OUT
00:18:03.872 --> 00:18:07.042
OF THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.
00:18:07.075 --> 00:18:08.977
BUT IT SAYS THE UNSAVED
00:18:09.011 --> 00:18:10.179
WERE JUDGED ACCORDINGTO THE BOOKS.
00:18:10.212 --> 00:18:13.448
THAT IS ACCORDINGTO THEIR DEEDS.
00:18:13.482 --> 00:18:16.485
WHY ARE NON-CHRISTIANSJUDGED BY THEIR WORKS?
00:18:16.518 --> 00:18:20.289
TWO REASONS,
00:18:20.322 --> 00:18:21.523
FIRST OF ALL,
00:18:21.557 --> 00:18:23.058
BECAUSE THEY'VE CHOSEN TOBE JUDGED BY THEIR WORKS.
00:18:23.091 --> 00:18:26.061
THE UNBELIEVER ISSOMEBODY WHO SAID,
00:18:26.094 --> 00:18:27.829
"I DON'T NEED THATGIFT OF FORGIVENESS
00:18:27.863 --> 00:18:30.432
THAT CHRIST OFFERS.
00:18:30.465 --> 00:18:31.466
I DON'T NEED HIS GRACE."
00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:34.002
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS,
00:18:34.036 --> 00:18:36.838
THE STANDARD OF OUR WORKSIS NOT OTHER PEOPLE,
00:18:36.872 --> 00:18:40.809
IT'S JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF.
00:18:40.842 --> 00:18:43.512
HE'S THE STANDARD BYWHICH EVERYBODY IS JUDGED.
00:18:43.545 --> 00:18:46.481
AND UNLESS YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESSMEETS HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:18:46.515 --> 00:18:50.018
YOU FALL SHORT.
00:18:50.052 --> 00:18:52.554
THE REASON THE UNSAVEDARE JUDGED BY THEIR WORKS
00:18:52.588 --> 00:18:56.258
IS BECAUSE THEY'VE CHOSEN TO BE.
00:18:56.291 --> 00:18:57.559
THE SECOND REASON IS,
00:18:57.593 --> 00:18:58.860
THEIR WORKS WILL DETERMINE
00:18:58.894 --> 00:19:00.996
THE KIND OF HELLTHAT THEY EXPERIENCE.
00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:04.433
I BET YOU HAVEN'THEARD THIS BEFORE.
00:19:04.466 --> 00:19:06.802
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN
00:19:06.835 --> 00:19:07.736
THERE ARE DEGREES OF HEAVEN.
00:19:07.769 --> 00:19:09.338
AFTER WE'RE SAVED,
00:19:09.371 --> 00:19:10.405
WHAT KIND OF LIFE WE LEAD
00:19:10.439 --> 00:19:12.574
DETERMINES THE KIND OFHEAVEN THAT WE EXPERIENCE.
00:19:12.608 --> 00:19:15.510
WE'VE TALKED AT LENGTHABOUT REWARDS IN HEAVEN
00:19:15.544 --> 00:19:17.379
BUT DID YOU KNOW,
00:19:17.412 --> 00:19:18.614
THERE ARE DEGREESOF HELL AS WELL?
00:19:18.647 --> 00:19:21.416
WHERE DO YOU FIND DEGREESOF HELL IN THE BIBLE?
00:19:21.450 --> 00:19:24.953
WELL ONE PLACE IS IN THEGOSPEL OF LUKE.
00:19:24.987 --> 00:19:27.256
JESUS TALKED ABOUT IT.
00:19:27.289 --> 00:19:30.092
YOU REMEMBER THESTORY HE TOLD ABOUT
00:19:30.125 --> 00:19:33.395
THE SLAVE WHO WASJUDGED BY HIS MASTER?
00:19:33.428 --> 00:19:40.802
THIS IS ONE OF THEMOST INTERESTING
00:19:40.836 --> 00:19:42.437
AND FREQUENTLY OVERLOOKEDPASSAGES IN THE BIBLE.
00:19:42.471 --> 00:19:45.440
LUKE 12:47-48,
00:19:45.474 --> 00:19:48.110
JESUS SAID,
00:19:48.143 --> 00:19:49.344
"AND THAT SLAVE WHOKNEW HIS MASTER'S WILL
00:19:49.378 --> 00:19:52.247
AND DID NOT GET READY OR ACT
00:19:52.281 --> 00:19:54.449
IN ACCORDING WITH THAT WILL,
00:19:54.483 --> 00:19:56.251
WILL RECEIVE MANY LASHES.
00:19:56.285 --> 00:19:59.254
BUT THE ONE WHO DID NOT KNOW IT
00:19:59.288 --> 00:20:00.956
AND COMMITTED DEEDSWORTHY OF A FLOGGING,
00:20:00.989 --> 00:20:03.191
WILL RECEIVE BUT A FEW LASHES.
00:20:03.225 --> 00:20:06.728
FROM EVERYONE WHOHAS BEEN GIVEN MUCH,
00:20:06.762 --> 00:20:10.198
MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED.
00:20:10.232 --> 00:20:11.967
AND TO WHOM THEY ENTRUSTED MUCH,
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.769
OF HIM THEY WILLASK ALL THE MORE."
00:20:13.802 --> 00:20:17.606
JESUS SAID A SLAVE,
00:20:17.639 --> 00:20:19.274
WHO KNOWS EXACTLY WHATTHE MASTER WANTS HIM TO DO
00:20:19.308 --> 00:20:22.811
BUT DECIDES NOT TO DO IT,
00:20:22.844 --> 00:20:24.279
HE'S WORTHY OF SEVEREPUNISHMENT, MANY LASHES.
00:20:24.313 --> 00:20:27.983
BUT THE ONE WHO DISOBEYSTHE MASTER'S WILL
00:20:28.016 --> 00:20:30.719
BUT NEVER REALLY HADKNOWLEDGE OF THAT WILL,
00:20:30.752 --> 00:20:33.622
HE'LL RECEIVE A FEWLASHES. IN OTHER WORDS,
00:20:33.655 --> 00:20:37.392
THE JUDGMENT WILL BE BASEDON HOW MUCH KNOWLEDGE HE HAD.
00:20:37.426 --> 00:20:43.131
BY THE WAY, THAT MEANS EVERYONE OF YOU SITTING HERE TODAY
00:20:43.165 --> 00:20:45.267
EVERY ONE OF YOUWATCHING ON TELEVISION,
00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:47.135
YOU ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE.
00:20:47.169 --> 00:20:49.738
MUCH AS REQUIRED OF YOU,
00:20:49.771 --> 00:20:51.273
BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEARD THETRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:20:51.306 --> 00:20:56.111
THAT'S THE BASISOF OUR JUDGMENT.
00:20:56.144 --> 00:20:58.480
THE UNBELIEVERS WILL BE JUDGED,
00:20:58.513 --> 00:21:00.082
ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.
00:21:00.115 --> 00:21:02.284
AND WHAT IS THE RESULTOF THAT JUDGMENT?
00:21:02.317 --> 00:21:04.086
LOOK AT THIS, VERSE 15,
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:05.787
"AND IF ANYONE'S NAME WAS NOTWRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE,
00:21:05.821 --> 00:21:10.092
HE WAS THROWN INTOTHE LAKE OF FIRE."
00:21:10.125 --> 00:21:15.964
JESUS CALLED THIS PLACE GEHENNA,
00:21:15.997 --> 00:21:19.101
THE VALLEY OF HINNOM.
00:21:19.134 --> 00:21:20.602
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TIMES,
00:21:20.635 --> 00:21:22.003
THAT SAME VALLEY WAS THESITE WHERE ISRAELITES,
00:21:22.037 --> 00:21:26.274
FOLLOWING THE PAGAN GOD MOLOCH,
00:21:26.308 --> 00:21:28.176
WOULD BURN THEIRINFANT CHILDREN ALIVE.
00:21:28.210 --> 00:21:31.680
IT WAS A HORRIBLE PLACE.
00:21:31.713 --> 00:21:34.082
IN FACT, JESUSDESCRIBED IT AS A PLACE
00:21:34.116 --> 00:21:36.918
JUST LIKE GEHENNA, HELL,
00:21:36.952 --> 00:21:40.455
OF WEEPING AND WAILINGAND OF GNASHING OF TEETH.
00:21:40.489 --> 00:21:44.726
THERE WAS MO MORE CURSEDPLACE THAN GEHENNA
00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:48.130
WHY WOULD ANYONE REJECTTHE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST?
00:21:48.163 --> 00:21:54.803
WHY WOULD ANYONE SAY,
00:21:54.836 --> 00:21:56.805
"I WOULD RATHER BEDAMNED AND GO TO HELL
00:21:56.838 --> 00:22:00.342
THAN EVER TRUST JESUSFOR MY FORGIVENESS?"
00:22:00.375 --> 00:22:03.612
WHY WOULD ANY SANEPERSON SAY SUCH A THING?
00:22:03.645 --> 00:22:07.416
THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON,
00:22:07.449 --> 00:22:09.418
VERSE 10,
00:22:09.451 --> 00:22:10.619
"THEY HAVE BEENDECEIVED BY SATAN."
00:22:10.652 --> 00:22:13.822
SATAN HAS PLACED AVEIL OVER THEIR EYES,
00:22:13.855 --> 00:22:16.858
WHERE THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH.
00:22:16.892 --> 00:22:21.797
HAVE YOU TAKEN ADVANTAGEOF THAT GIFT OF SALVATION?
00:22:21.830 --> 00:22:25.033

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:35.043
WHY NOT NOW SAY "GOD SAVE ME,
