Speaker 1: From our archives, the Billy Graham classics.
0:08
Speaker 2: I want you to turn with me for the last
0:10
Speaker 2: sermon to the third chapter of Second Peter. The third
0:17
Speaker 2: chapter of Second Peter. I want to speak tonight on
0:22
Speaker 2: the subject the signs of the time, the end of
0:27
Speaker 2: the world, the second coming of Jesus Christ. And I
0:33
Speaker 2: want you to turn with me to the third chapter,
0:37
Speaker 2: beginning at verse three of Second Peter. Knowing this first,
0:45
Speaker 2: that there shall come in the last days. Now, notice
0:50
Speaker 2: that expression the last days. You'll find it many times
0:54
Speaker 2: in the Bible. The Bible says that there is going
0:58
Speaker 2: to be an X point in history that will be
1:01
Speaker 2: known as the latter days or the last days. Many
1:07
Speaker 2: people think that we're in that period. Now, nobody knows
1:13
Speaker 2: for sure. The Bible warns us against speculating on times
1:17
Speaker 2: and seasons and dates. But there is a period of
1:21
Speaker 2: time taught in the Bible that is called the last days.
1:26
Speaker 2: And then the next word is scuffers. Scuffers will come
1:31
Speaker 2: in the last days.
1:33
Speaker 3: Cynics.
1:35
Speaker 2: People will say, oh, yeah, God is dead. We can't
1:38
Speaker 2: find God anywhere. We took a trip up in space.
1:41
Speaker 2: We didn't meet God, we didn't meet the angels. While
1:43
Speaker 2: we weren't there, and there are going to be other
1:47
Speaker 2: scuffers that will scoff at the idea of future judgment,
1:51
Speaker 2: scoff at the idea that Jesus Christ is coming back
1:54
Speaker 2: to this earth again.
1:55
Speaker 3: They'll laugh at the whole idea.
1:58
Speaker 2: Why tells us walking after their own lust? They don't
2:05
Speaker 2: want Christ to come. They don't want Christ to come.
2:09
Speaker 3: And interfere with their way of living.
2:12
Speaker 2: They love their they love their sins so much that
2:17
Speaker 2: they don't want Christ coming, and they cannot accept the
2:20
Speaker 2: idea that God is a god of judgment. Now we
2:25
Speaker 2: know that God is a God of love, We know
2:29
Speaker 2: that God is a God of mercy, but the Bible
2:32
Speaker 2: also teaches that God is a god of wrath. He's
2:36
Speaker 2: a god of anger. Now that's not an emotional anger
2:41
Speaker 2: like you and I have. That's an eternal anger at evil.
2:44
Speaker 2: A righteous indignation that Jesus had when he went into
2:48
Speaker 2: the temple and drove out the money changes the righteous
2:51
Speaker 2: indignation that he had when he turned on the Pharisees
2:54
Speaker 2: and called them all kinds of names in the twenty
2:56
Speaker 2: third chapter of Matthew. Primarily he accused them of being hypocrites,
3:04
Speaker 2: scoffers walking after their own loss. And then the scripture says,
3:11
Speaker 2: for this they willingly are ignorant of that by the
3:15
Speaker 2: word of God, the heavens were of old, and the
3:18
Speaker 2: earth standing out of the water and in the water,
3:21
Speaker 2: whereby the world that then was being overflowed with water perished.
3:27
Speaker 2: But the heavens and the earth, which are now right now,
3:33
Speaker 2: by the same word, are kept in store, reserved unto fire,
3:42
Speaker 2: against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
3:48
Speaker 2: But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that
3:51
Speaker 2: one day is with the Lord a thousand years, and
3:53
Speaker 2: a thousand years is one day. The Lord is not
3:57
Speaker 2: slack concerning his promise, as some men count slacklys, but
4:01
Speaker 2: is long suffering to us, not willing that any should perish,
4:06
Speaker 2: but that all should come to repentance. But remember this,
4:11
Speaker 2: that day of the Lord is going to come like
4:13
Speaker 2: a thief in the night, in which the heavens will
4:16
Speaker 2: pass away with a great noise, and the elements will
4:19
Speaker 2: melt with fervent heat, and the earth also, and the
4:22
Speaker 2: works that are therein shall be burned up. Now in
4:29
Speaker 2: this passage of scripture, the apostle Peter under the inspiration
4:33
Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit, is underlining something that is taught
4:36
Speaker 2: from Genesis to Revelation, that a day of judgment is
4:41
Speaker 2: going to come, that the world is going to have
4:45
Speaker 2: to stand someday.
4:46
Speaker 3: Before the judgment of God.
4:48
Speaker 2: You will stand there as an individual, We'll stand there
4:51
Speaker 2: as a nation, We'll stand there as a society to
4:54
Speaker 2: give an account of our stewardship.
4:57
Speaker 3: Here the Bible teaches.
5:03
Speaker 2: That toward the end of the age, as we move
5:07
Speaker 2: toward the end, it will be a time of peril, war, destruction, lawlessness,
5:16
Speaker 2: immorality so great that God will have to intervene and
5:22
Speaker 2: stop the whole thing, or we would have racial genocide. Now,
5:27
Speaker 2: listen to what Jesus said, Listen to what.
5:30
Speaker 3: The scripture says. Far there shall be Jesus said this
5:34
Speaker 3: in the twenty fourth of Matthew.
5:35
Speaker 2: For there shall be great tribulation such as was not
5:40
Speaker 2: since the beginning of the world to this time, nor
5:44
Speaker 2: will ever be again. And except those days should be shortened,
5:51
Speaker 2: there should be no flesh saved. But for the sake
5:55
Speaker 2: of the elect those days will be shortened.
6:00
Speaker 3: God says, I'm.
6:02
Speaker 2: Not going to let the human race blow up in
6:04
Speaker 2: an atomic war. I'm going to stop it and I'm
6:07
Speaker 2: going to save for the elect say, that's why it's
6:11
Speaker 2: so important for believers, even though we're a small minority,
6:15
Speaker 2: for our sake, the human race will be saved. For
6:19
Speaker 2: the sake of that small believing remnant and minority that
6:24
Speaker 2: believe the human race will be saved. That's what the
6:28
Speaker 2: scripture says. Now, you don't have to believe that. I'm
6:31
Speaker 2: just quoting Jesus.
6:33
Speaker 3: That's what Jesus said.
6:35
Speaker 2: And those are passages you don't hear much preaching about.
6:39
Speaker 2: And you know the preachers today of judgment and armageddon
6:44
Speaker 2: are the scientist Our scientists to doing the preaching. We're
6:50
Speaker 2: in the pulpit of silent on the subject, and the
6:53
Speaker 2: Bible is filled with it. We ought to be teaching
6:56
Speaker 2: the people and preaching to the people, warning the people,
7:00
Speaker 2: showing the people the.
7:01
Speaker 3: Way of salvation.
7:05
Speaker 2: Now, in the midst of that generation of that day,
7:07
Speaker 2: there lived a man who believed in God. He walked
7:12
Speaker 2: with God. God said, the thing has become so bad
7:16
Speaker 2: and so decadent and so violent.
7:19
Speaker 3: I'm going to.
7:19
Speaker 2: Destroy the human race and I'm going.
7:21
Speaker 3: To start over again.
7:25
Speaker 2: Because you see, when God created man He gave him
7:27
Speaker 2: a gift he didn't give to his other creatures. He
7:29
Speaker 2: created man in his image and gave him freedom of choice.
7:33
Speaker 2: Man took this freedom and it became license. He went
7:36
Speaker 2: his own way, rebelled against God, began to live his
7:39
Speaker 2: own life. And God said, if you rebel against me,
7:42
Speaker 2: you're going to die. Man has been suffering and dying
7:45
Speaker 2: ever since. It's now appointed under man wants to die.
7:48
Speaker 2: And after that the judgment because of our rebellion, sin
7:52
Speaker 2: is rebellion against God.
7:54
Speaker 3: We're all rebels. The Bible says, all.
7:59
Speaker 2: Have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
8:02
Speaker 2: We're all under the sentence of death. We're all under
8:06
Speaker 2: God's sentence. The wages of sin is death. But in
8:09
Speaker 2: the midst of the generation of that day, there lived
8:12
Speaker 2: a man, one man that believed in God.
8:17
Speaker 3: His name was Noah.
8:20
Speaker 2: We've got some people today that believe in God. There
8:25
Speaker 2: are people all over this world, in every country and
8:28
Speaker 2: every city of the world, from Moscow to Peking that
8:32
Speaker 2: believe in God. They may have to do it secretly,
8:34
Speaker 2: but they believe. When Miss Stalin came to this country,
8:40
Speaker 2: the daughter of Joseph Stalin, she had been ard in
8:43
Speaker 2: intellectual atheism.
8:45
Speaker 3: She said, I.
8:45
Speaker 2: Could no longer live in a world in which there
8:48
Speaker 2: was no God. And she said, all through the Soviet
8:51
Speaker 2: Union there are believers, she said, even in the Communist Party,
8:56
Speaker 2: there are believers. You see, there are people who may
9:01
Speaker 2: declare their atheism, but down inside.
9:05
Speaker 3: Have a secret faith and a secret belief that God is.
9:13
Speaker 2: Noah believed in God in the midst of that crooked.
9:15
Speaker 3: And perverse generation. And he dared to stand alone.
9:20
Speaker 2: He dared to stand up and say I believe in
9:23
Speaker 2: a period when the whole trend was.
9:26
Speaker 3: Against any faith at all.
9:28
Speaker 2: And I want to tell you to stand up at
9:30
Speaker 2: one of our modern universities today and say I believe
9:33
Speaker 2: in God, and lift up a Bible and say I
9:36
Speaker 2: believe this book to be the inspired word of God.
9:38
Speaker 3: Takes a lot of courage. And there's a many a.
9:41
Speaker 2: Professor that leads a lonely life on campus, a Christian professor.
9:46
Speaker 2: There's a many a student in a class that it
9:49
Speaker 2: leads a lonely life because he believes in Christ and
9:52
Speaker 2: he believes in God, and he believes in the Bible.
9:54
Speaker 3: But they're there.
9:56
Speaker 2: God has his people scattered all over the world, and
10:00
Speaker 2: a crusade like this brings a lot of them together,
10:04
Speaker 2: and a lot of you are going to go back,
10:05
Speaker 2: and you're going to have to fight a thousand battles
10:08
Speaker 2: with yourself and with others.
10:11
Speaker 3: He dared to stand alone.
10:13
Speaker 2: And that's what Jesus meant when he said, take up
10:16
Speaker 2: the cross and follow me, bear my reproach. Be willing
10:20
Speaker 2: to go outside the camp with me and live where
10:23
Speaker 2: it's unpopular.
10:25
Speaker 3: Are you willing to do that? He said, count the.
10:27
Speaker 2: Cost you may have to stand alone. Noah stood alone, and.
10:37
Speaker 3: God came to him one day and God said, Noah.
10:39
Speaker 2: I'm going to destroy the human race with a flood.
10:43
Speaker 2: I'm going to cause it to rain forty days and
10:44
Speaker 2: forty nights, and I want you to build a ship
10:48
Speaker 2: and save your household and save the animals.
10:51
Speaker 3: And the Bible says that Noah believed God.
10:56
Speaker 2: Noah didn't argue with God and say, well, Lord, there's
10:59
Speaker 2: no scientific eva evidence that any flood's coming. I haven't
11:03
Speaker 2: heard Walter Cronkite mention it on news yet. I haven't
11:09
Speaker 2: heard any scientist say anything about it at Columbia or Stanford.
11:14
Speaker 2: The Bible says, by faith nor being warned of God,
11:18
Speaker 2: of things not seen as yet, no.
11:20
Speaker 3: Evidence as yet, not seen as yet. Moved with fear.
11:28
Speaker 3: Notice what moved him. Fear prepared the art.
11:39
Speaker 2: Now, if ever a generation had a right to be
11:41
Speaker 2: moved by fear and get right with God, it's our generation.
11:45
Speaker 2: The headlines are screaming it to us. They're preaching to
11:48
Speaker 2: us every day, the newspaper editors.
11:51
Speaker 3: Who was it, I think it.
11:52
Speaker 2: Was Chief Justice Warren who said he always turns to
11:56
Speaker 2: the sports section first to read it to see what
11:59
Speaker 2: man is accomplished, and then he turns to the front
12:01
Speaker 2: page to see man's failures.
12:04
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of truth in that.
12:08
Speaker 2: And God said, no, I want you to build this
12:10
Speaker 2: ship four hundred and fifty feet long and forty five
12:12
Speaker 2: feet wide high and seventy five feet high, three stories,
12:16
Speaker 2: one window, one side door, and I want you to
12:19
Speaker 2: get it ready as quick as you can. And so
12:23
Speaker 2: nor began to build. And the people laughed and sneered
12:27
Speaker 2: and thought he was gone mad. But of course he
12:29
Speaker 2: paid top wages, and they worked for him.
12:32
Speaker 3: And helped him, but they laughed at him.
12:36
Speaker 2: And during all that period of time that they were
12:39
Speaker 2: building this ship, it took one hundred and twenty.
12:40
Speaker 3: Years to build that ship.
12:45
Speaker 2: Noah was preaching, warning the people repent, judgment is coming. Believe,
12:51
Speaker 2: but they laughed and sneered and did not believe. Now
12:58
Speaker 2: during that period of time, God could have sent the judgment.
13:01
Speaker 3: Earlier, but he didn't do it.
13:03
Speaker 2: And God had a secret that you can go back
13:08
Speaker 2: home and figure out the oldest man that ever lived
13:13
Speaker 2: with six or nine hundred and sixty nine years?
13:15
Speaker 3: Now, why was he the oldest man that ever lived?
13:17
Speaker 3: In Methusela. Have you ever thought about that his name means?
13:23
Speaker 3: Do you know what his name means?
13:26
Speaker 2: When he is dead, it shall be sent, That's what
13:28
Speaker 2: his name means. As long as Methuselah lived, God was
13:35
Speaker 2: not going to send that flood. The day that matthuselahd died,
13:40
Speaker 2: the flood came. God used him as a symbol of
13:44
Speaker 2: his love and his grace and his mercy and his
13:47
Speaker 2: long suffering, hoping that mankind would repent their sins and
13:51
Speaker 2: turn to him before.
13:52
Speaker 3: It's too late. And Metthuselah just kept on living.
13:57
Speaker 2: God's patience, God's love, and Methuselah stands forever in the
14:04
Speaker 2: Bible as an illustration of the love and the mercy
14:08
Speaker 2: and the grace of God.
14:12
Speaker 3: God could have judged them.
14:13
Speaker 2: Years earlier, but he didn't do it. Methuselah kept on living,
14:18
Speaker 2: and the day he died the flood came. Now, what
14:23
Speaker 2: is God using in our generation?
14:25
Speaker 3: All right?
14:26
Speaker 2: You can read it second Thessalonians two six and seven.
14:30
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is God's restraining power
14:37
Speaker 2: in our world. And as long as the Holy Spirit
14:41
Speaker 2: is here in mighty.
14:42
Speaker 3: Power, working as we've seen.
14:44
Speaker 2: Him in this garden, God is going to be long
14:48
Speaker 2: suffering and merciful, not willing, not desiring that any should
14:51
Speaker 2: be lost, but that all should be saved. We're living
14:55
Speaker 2: in a period of God's mercy. We're breathing and living
14:59
Speaker 2: by the mercy and the grace of God. The Holy
15:05
Speaker 2: Spirit is God's mighty restraining power. But I know some
15:11
Speaker 2: theologians that are beginning to say that the Holy Spirit,
15:17
Speaker 2: in his common and restraining grace throughout the world, may
15:20
Speaker 2: be in the process of being removed. The Holy Spirit's
15:26
Speaker 2: activity in bringing individuals to Christ is accelerating because people
15:30
Speaker 2: are being converted all over the world to Christ. Because
15:33
Speaker 2: the Bible says, as we move toward the end of history,
15:37
Speaker 2: that gospel preaching will increase, and the gospel will have
15:40
Speaker 2: been heard around the world today for the first time,
15:43
Speaker 2: it's heard around the world by radio and television.
15:46
Speaker 3: In the printed page.
15:51
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit is God's restraining power, and the moment
15:56
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit is removed, this earth is going to
15:59
Speaker 2: turn into almost hell. And the Bible says that Christ
16:12
Speaker 2: is going to come back. You want to read about
16:17
Speaker 2: when he comes, I'll read it to you. There are
16:20
Speaker 2: so many passages in the Bible that deal with the
16:23
Speaker 2: coming again of Christ that it's almost impossible. The nineteenth
16:27
Speaker 2: chapter of Revelation. Listen to this, beginning at verse eleven,
16:31
Speaker 2: and I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse.
16:35
Speaker 2: And he that sat upon him was called faithful and true,
16:39
Speaker 2: and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His
16:43
Speaker 2: eyes wears a flame of fire, and on his head
16:46
Speaker 2: were many crowns. And he had a name written that
16:49
Speaker 2: no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed
16:52
Speaker 2: with a vesture dipped in blood. And his name is
16:55
Speaker 2: called the Word of God. And the armies which were
16:58
Speaker 2: in heaven follow him on white horses, clothed in fine linen,
17:02
Speaker 2: white and clean and out of his mouth goeth a
17:05
Speaker 2: sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations,
17:08
Speaker 2: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron.
17:11
Speaker 3: And he treadeth the.
17:12
Speaker 2: Wine press of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God.
17:16
Speaker 2: And he hath on his vestia and on his thigh
17:19
Speaker 2: a name written.
17:20
Speaker 3: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Yes, he's coming back.
17:26
Speaker 2: Next time, not as the little baby of Bethlehem, but
17:30
Speaker 2: he's the mighty King of.
17:31
Speaker 3: Kings and Lord of lords.
17:33
Speaker 2: And he himself said he's coming back to intervene in
17:38
Speaker 2: history to save the world from destroying itself, because God
17:42
Speaker 2: loves the world. And then the scripture says something else.
17:46
Speaker 3: It says it purifies you.
17:52
Speaker 2: In other words, this is a part of our sanctification,
17:57
Speaker 2: growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ. Hope that
17:59
Speaker 2: Christ is coming back again, our hope send it in that.
18:05
Speaker 3: Should cause us.
18:06
Speaker 2: To live pure lives, obedient lives. And then the scripture
18:13
Speaker 2: says that we should watch. That's what we're doing tonight.
18:16
Speaker 2: We're watching. And you know, I've gotten in the habit
18:20
Speaker 2: of going to bed at night and thinking, just before
18:24
Speaker 2: I go to bed, what if he should come tonight?
18:28
Speaker 2: I wake up in the morning. And in the morning
18:30
Speaker 2: one of the first thoughts I have, I wonder if
18:32
Speaker 2: he's going to come today.
18:34
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd like to see him come. What a day
18:38
Speaker 3: that's going to be.
18:40
Speaker 2: All of our aches and pains are going to be
18:42
Speaker 2: behind us, all of our tears are going to be
18:43
Speaker 2: behind us, all of our problems are going to be solved.
18:47
Speaker 2: What a day that's going to be.
18:49
Speaker 3: And Jesus is going to rule.
18:51
Speaker 2: And the problems, the social problems that we're wrestling with
18:55
Speaker 2: and battling with now, trying to patch them up and
18:58
Speaker 2: solve them as best we can, They're all going to
19:01
Speaker 2: be totally solved. The race problem will be solved, the
19:08
Speaker 2: poverty problem will be solved, the war problem will be solved.
19:12
Speaker 3: There'll be no more wars.
19:16
Speaker 2: What a day that's going to be when we stand
19:19
Speaker 2: with him in eternity.
19:24
Speaker 3: And then Jesus said, prepare are you.
19:27
Speaker 2: Prepared for that day? Does Christ live in your heart?
19:32
Speaker 2: Are you prepared for the day of judgment? Are you prepared?
19:34
Speaker 3: Should Christ come tonight?
19:38
Speaker 2: The scripture says, prepare to meet Thy God? How do
19:41
Speaker 2: you prepare? You prepare first of all by being certain
19:45
Speaker 2: that you know Christ is your Savior by repenting of
19:49
Speaker 2: your sin. Now, what does repentance mean. It means that
19:53
Speaker 2: you're willing to say, God, I've sinned. I'm willing to
19:56
Speaker 2: give up my sins. I'm willing to change my.
19:58
Speaker 3: Way of living. That's repentance.
20:02
Speaker 2: And secondly, by faith, you receive Christ as your savior.
20:06
Speaker 2: You're not trusting in your good works. You're not trusting
20:09
Speaker 2: in anything except Jesus Christ and what He did at
20:12
Speaker 2: the Cross for your salvation, nothing else. When I get
20:19
Speaker 2: to the entrance to Heaven and they ask me the password,
20:22
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say big crowds at Madison Square Garden.
20:25
Speaker 2: Lord Lord, I read the Bible through. I won't say
20:27
Speaker 2: any of that. I'm going to say nothing but the Blood.
20:39
Speaker 2: I'm going to Heaven totally and completely on the basis
20:43
Speaker 2: of what Christ did on that cross. Salvation is not
20:47
Speaker 2: by works. It's by the grace of God that God
20:50
Speaker 2: offers to us. And you must receive by faith and believe,
20:56
Speaker 2: and then you must be willing to follow Him and
20:59
Speaker 2: serve Here. It means that you start living a disciplined
21:03
Speaker 2: life under the lordship of Christ.
21:06
Speaker 3: It means that you serve Him.
21:09
Speaker 2: In every little thing, every day you say, God's keeping
21:11
Speaker 2: books on you. He's got a computer system all of.
21:15
Speaker 3: His own, and he sees the little things. Nobody ever
21:19
Speaker 3: praises you for.
21:21
Speaker 2: How many of you do things that are really good
21:24
Speaker 2: things and nobody ever sees it. Nobody ever praises you,
21:27
Speaker 2: and you'd like to have a little praise.
21:29
Speaker 3: He's keeping a record. It's all there.
21:36
Speaker 2: Serve him in a thousand ways every day you can
21:39
Speaker 2: serve him. I'm going to ask you to receive Christ
21:42
Speaker 2: right now. I'm going to ask hundreds of you to

Speaker 2: by coming down here, I do receive Christ. I accept
21:51
Speaker 2: Him as my Lord and my savior. I want my
21:53
Speaker 2: sins forgiven. I want to know I'm going to heaven.
21:56
Speaker 2: And I'm going to ask you to get up out
21:58
Speaker 2: of your seat and come and stand it in front
22:00
