  SPEAKER_00: Hello, this is Ken, your podcast preacher.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to my podcast Deep Waters.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: This podcast is brought to you by Applied Strengths Ministry, where we believe working together in our strengths is the effect of working out the will and calling of God in and through our lives.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks for joining me.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open up in prayer.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Blessed be the God and Father of your Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed you with every spiritual blessing and the heavenly places in Christ, just as he chose you and him before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestined you to adoption as your son or daughter by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, which he purposed in himself, to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he made you accepted in the beloved.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: In him you have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace which he made to above towards you in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to you the mystery of his will, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth in him.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: I ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, and the knowledge of the mystery of him, and to the deepest knowledge of him that you are willing and able to receive, that the eyes of your understanding would be open wider, and that you would be enlightened to who he is, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in you, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards you who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, that he would grant that you would be strengthened with might through his spirit in the inner man, enter to your spirit and heart, consistently walking in the spirit, so that you would be able to stand against the appetites of your flesh, the corrupted spirit of this world, the devil and his demons, and any and all fleshly desires and temptations.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that your love may abound more and more in all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be real about your Christianity, and unoffendable until the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, which are by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to the glory and praise of God.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, and the wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may want worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints who walk by the Spirit and in the light.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that your hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love and unity, and that you would attain to all the riches of the full church of understanding, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which has been given to each of my listeners by Christ Jesus, that you were enriched in everything by him, in all utterance and all knowledge, so that you do not come short in obtaining or operating in your calling and purpose, nor in using any spiritual gifts or talents to perform mighty miracle signs and wonders, that we would do the greater works of Jesus yet to be accomplished, that we would be found eagerly waiting for the continued revelation of our Lord Jesus, who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the near coming of the day of our Lord.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: God is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now therefore, my sisters and brothers in Christ, when things get tough, think about whatever things are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and whatever things are of a good report.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: If there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things alone.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that in these very end of end time days that you would let your love be without hypocrisy.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Show people your faith by your works and service in love, hate and loath what is evil, cling to what is good and righteous, be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, and honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent and fully engulfed in spiritual fire, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, walking in the peace of God, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, that is each other, and that you would be given the hospitality.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: May the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded towards one another, according to Christ Jesus, that we learn to be of one mind, in one accord, striving to get along no matter what disagreements we may encounter, operating completely and fully in love, always striving for the working out of God's specific will for each of our lives, while working in partnership with each other within the church and the Holy Spirit, as he manifests as miracle signs and wonders through the daily activities of our ministry and kingdom work, and while we also go out preaching the gospel in the word and deed.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let us love and serve one another, our enemy, and those who wouldn't expect us to do so, considering each person better than ourselves.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Find up any words or thoughts that are contrary to the love of God or which would set you back in your Christian walk.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Guard your hearts from anything that would hinder the growth of your character.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Never forget that you can do all things in Christ, and never forget this means all things.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'll step out of faith today and walk with God and with each other, being assured that nothing will separate you from Him as long as you abide in Him.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: Call those things that don't exist as though they do.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: Remember the faith of God of which we have, created the universe by the Rama and Logos Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: All you need for this life is invisible until you apply your faith to receive it, but make sure you make your requests known to God without fear, doubting, and unbelief.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: Always remember that He that is in you is greater than He that is in the world.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: Be more than a conqueror today, submitting to the will of God and everything.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Never forget that you can do all things through Christ who will strengthen you, to this very today.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let each of us express uncompromising love towards one another and humility while maintaining a teachable spirit, seeking to grow no matter how much it challenges our current thinking.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: I pray that God will give you the revelation within this message that He intends you to receive with the understanding.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: The title of this message is The First and Second Judgments.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: This is the final message of four which are based on differences.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: The previous three were differences between the first and second resurrections, the difference between the first and second death, and the first and second coming.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: These are the differences between specific end time events.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Since we are told more than thirty times to be watching, we might want to know when the prophetic scriptures occur so that we know the timing of his visitation, but know more accurately the time of his return within reason.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: Understanding these messages will eliminate confusion, which is right now being released on the planet.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Ah but you say that the scriptures say that God is not the author of confusion, and I would say that yes, you are correct, but it doesn't say that there is not an author.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: These messages are not long, but packed with spiritual clarity.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: There may be some overlap which cannot be helped as many of these end time differences touch each other.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Let's define judgment so that we understand its place within this message and understand what it means for us, as we will eventually be judged for how we lived on this planet.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible states in several passages that people will be judged or rewarded according to their deeds and works.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: The key verses are Second Corinthians ten, which states for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation twenty twelve thirteen states and the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which are written in the books.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: Matthew sixteen twenty seven for the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each according to his works.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Romans six two God will render to each one according to his deeds.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Ecclesiastes twelve fourteen for God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Judgment means the ability to make considered decisions, form an opinion, or issue a formal ruling in a court of law.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: The key definitions are decision making and opinion, the mental capacity or process of evaluating situations and drawing logical conclusions.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: A legal ruling, a formal decision or sentence given by a judge or court that resolves a legal dispute, censure or criticism, an unfavorable opinion or expression, a formal disapproval regarding someone's actions.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: The synonyms are discernment, the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure or hidden.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: Wisdom, experience and sound judgment combined far above the average level, and prudence, acting with or showing care and thought for the future.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: Notice a language of that definition, discernment, wisdom, and prudence.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Are there any scriptures that talk about those elements?
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: If so, can God be telling us something about the totality of judgment, including but not limited to his judging all of the world, as well as us today, judging things to ensure that they line up with the truth of the word?
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Proverbs two three.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, if you cry out for discernment and lift up your voice for understanding.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: Proverbs fifteen twenty one.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: Philippians one nine in this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, and what about wisdom?
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Well, there are about two hundred and thirty five scriptures that talk about wisdom, so given our time slot, I won't post them all here.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Now but you can research that word in some key or major books of the Bible, known or called the wisdom books, which are the books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: So what about our last word that is associated with judgment, which is prudence?
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: Second Chronicles two twelve.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Haram also said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who made the heaven and earth, for he has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who built a temple for the Lord and a royal house for himself.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Job eleven six, that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, for they would double your prudence.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: Know therefore that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: Job twelve sixteen.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: With him are strength and prudence, the deceived and the deceiver are his Proverbs one four to give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: Proverbs eight five.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh you simple ones, understand prudence, and you fools, be of an understanding heart.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: Proverbs eight twelve.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion and Ephesians one eight, which he made to abound towards us in all wisdom and prudence.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now you might be wondering why I added all of the scriptures that talk about prudence, and that is because I believe it is fun to read the scriptures, and they add accuracy to my messages and reduce any errors that I might make in chitty chatting on and on about what I think about this, that, and the other.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not a slam against me as I've been called to teach, just as well as you have been called to do something for the Lord as well.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not just talking about doing something one time, but for your entire life.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I also don't believe if it takes my life to make this example, that you will be called to do just one thing.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: So for example, there are many elements to operating in the position of a teacher.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: For example, again, just using my life as an example, one of those things is reading a lot.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: I read the Bible lots as well.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: I also get a lot of scripture reading from the reading of Christian books as well.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: And I also read Christian novels, leadership books, and some books on psychology, such as talents and personality books, as well as others.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Will your reading look like mine?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Probably not.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: So don't imitate my practices as much as you feel what God is specifically leading you to do.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: I also do ministry, training, teaching, counseling, administration, and operate in the gifts of helps, service, generosity, and hospitality, just to name a few.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: I have prayed for people and some of them have been healed or receive answers to prayer as well.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: The point isn't to boast, but to clearly demonstrate that the Christian life should be full of the activities same as Jesus' life was full of activities.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, I did and do those things working full time and raising a family, both of which require way less of my time now that I'm retired.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: And even this is temporary as I plan to enter back into the workforce, to both work secularly as well and in ministry or on a philanthropic project.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: There's a couple of scriptures of which I pray because even though I do suffer for the kingdom of God, I have, like anybody else, squandered my time on useless things and activities.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: Ephesians five sixteen, redeeming the time because the days are evil.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: Walk in wisdom towards those who are outside, redeeming the time.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: These scriptures exist because maybe someone else also felt the same way about their life.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, you guessed it, it was Paul, and you might even guess why he would have prayed that prayer.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, right again, it was because he probably felt that he had wasted so much of his life being a Pharisee before he saw the light on the road to Damascus.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: We too had a life before we saw the light, and so we too can also ask God to redeem the time, as the hour is late and he is about to show up and take his bride home.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_00: All of this pre work is important to know so that when you come across Scripture that uses the word judge, judgment, judging, that you have a fuller understanding of what it means.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, one other thing before we get to the differences between the differences between the first and second judgments.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: You may or may not realize our future responsibility as it pertains to judging as well, so I simply let the scriptures reveal that revelation.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Paul asked the church in Corinth if they knew that believers will judge the world and even judge angels, emphasizing that Christians have a future role alongside Christ in evaluating creation.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Matthew nineteen twenty eight.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: Jesus tells his apostles that in the renewal of all things, when he sits on his glorious throne, they will sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation twenty four.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: John describes a vision of thrones where authority to judge is given to those who remain faithful to the testimony of Jesus and did not worship the beast.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now don't get a big head, as this honor and great responsibility will be delegated to those who truly live for God.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: The first judgment question What is the first judgment as it pertains to the end of time biblically speaking?
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, and as I read this definition, included is some variations of which I will simply provide what I believe.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: You always have the choice and in fact will believe what you will believe just to make sure it lines up with the Bible, and not only with a creedy, non denominational, denominational or Catholic belief.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: The first end time judgment in many Christian frameworks is either the judgment seat of Christ, evaluating believers, or the first seal judgment, the start of the Earth's tribulation.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: Here's why I started what I stated earlier.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: The first seven seal judgments are called the birth pangs, which precede the wrath of God judgments.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: We are in the birth pangs now, and in fact, the second of four horses that line up with the first four seals is right now galloping.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Revelation six three through four.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come and see, another horse fiery red, went out, and it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that the people should kill one another, and there was given to him a great sword.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Take notice of the specifics in that scripture, the appearance, when the lamb opens a second seal, a fiery red or bright red horse appears.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: The rider's power, the rider is given permission to take peace away from the earth, and the result, the rider causes people to kill and slaughter one another.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_00: Scholars widely agree that the red horse represents the horrors of war.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: So we also have Jesus saying, Matthew twenty four, five through seven, for many will come in my name saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many, and you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that you are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet, for nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: This is right now and will be continuing, and so but if you are thinking, Well, what about the white horse which began to gallop when the first seal was open?
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: I would tell you that I've already done a message on these horses, and that you should listen to it.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: You can also read the book written by Steve Ciolani titled The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Greatest Warning of the Next Ten Years, and make up your own mind.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so now that you know the first horse, the white horse represented the COVID event, it's in the book, so get it and make up your own mind.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible outlines different views on what occurs first as the end times unfold.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: For believers, the judgment scene of Christ.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: The concept, often considered the first judgment event of the end times, occurring after the rapture.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: I talked about this before, but you know I like repetition, so when the church or bride of Christ is raptured, we attend the marriage supper of the Lamb, in which we will be judged for our works.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: At the same time the world will be going through the tribulation, also known as the wrath of God, whereby the last fourteen judgments include the trumpets and the bold judgments.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: The scripture, Second Corinthians ten states that believers must appear before Christ's judgment seat.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: I call this the spiritual academy awards, but also like the Academy Awards held on earth, not everyone will walk away with an award.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay or straw, each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's work which he has built on endures, he will receive a reward.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: The purpose it evaluates a Christian's actions and life choices for rewards, not eternal punishment or condemnation.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: For the world, the first seal judgment, the concept in the book of Revelation, the visible chronological judgments upon the earth begin when Jesus opens a sealed scroll.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: The scripture, Revelation six, one through two, describes the opening of the first seal and appearance of a rider on a white horse, and as we've already talked about, that was COVID.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: The purpose, this initiates a seven year tribulation period, often interpreted as a rise of false peace, conquest, and the Antichrist.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now I've taught on this before, but the sealed judgments don't actually represent the beginning of the tribulation.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: They are the birth pangs.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's the last fourteen that actually represent the tribulation.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_00: In the definition of the second judgment, there is some contrast between the first judgment and the second judgment.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, repetition is good for sticky learning.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: The second judgment question What is the second judgment as it pertains to the end of time biblically speaking?
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: The second major end times judgment in common evangelical theology is the Great White Throne Judgment, where believers from all ages are judged and sentenced.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: The Great White Throne Judgment, the setting described in Revelation twenty, eleven through fifteen, this event happens at the very end of time, after the thousand year millennial reign of Christ, and before the creation of the new heaven and new earth.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: The judge, God or Jesus Christ as judge, sits on a massive, dazzling white throne, and the physical earth and sky flee from his presence.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: Do you not know that we shall judge angels?
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: How much more things that pertain to this life?
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: The participants, the spiritually dead, meaning all individuals throughout history who did not place their faith in Jesus Christ, are raised from the dead and stand before the throne.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: The verse Revelation twenty thirteen says The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death in Hades delivered up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to his works.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: The context this takes place during the great white throne judgment described in Revelation twenty eleven through fifteen.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: The meaning Hades, often translated as hell or the grave, acts as a temporary holding place for the dead before the final judgment.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: When the dead are released, they face judgment based on their deeds, and then death and Hades themselves are thrown into the lake of fire.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: The criteria books are opened, including the book of life, and people are evaluated based on their deeds and works recorded in those books.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Because no human work can measure up to God's perfection, those whose names are not recorded in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire, which is termed the second death.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: Context The First Judgment In this dual framework, the first end times judgment is typically considered the judgment seat of Christ, or the Burma seat, which is exclusively for believers to evaluate their faithful service and assigned eternal rewards, not to determine salvation.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_00: My additional judgment question What are the differences between the first and second judgment as it pertains to the end of time biblically speaking?
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, here again we will have some sticky learning repetition along with some additional information.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: In biblical end times theology or astigatology, evangelical and Protestant frameworks generally distinguish between two major future judgments, the judgment seat of Christ, the Burma seat, and the great white throne judgment.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: The primary difference between the two lies in who is being judged, the purpose of the judgment, and the timing.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: The judgment seat of Christ, or the Burma seat, is for only believers, that is Christians, or the bride of Christ.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Timing occurs after the rapture, generally believed to take place in heaven before Christ returns physically to the earth.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Purpose it is not a trial to determine salvation or eternal punishment.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Instead, salvation is already settled by faith in Christ's sacrifice.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: The focus is an evaluation of a believer's worth.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Faithfulness and stewardship during earthly life.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: Again, I call this a spiritual academy award.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: But like any Academy Award that's held on earth, not everyone will walk away with an award.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: First Corinthians three, twelve through fifteen.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hair, straw, each one's work will become clear.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: And the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_00: And the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_00: If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, yet so is through fire.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: The outcome, the receiving or losing of eternal rewards, honors, and responsibilities in Christ's coming kingdom, not condemnation.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: Psalm 8410.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, the great white throne judgment.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: Who was involved?
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: Unbelievers, the spiritually unsaved, dead of all ages.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Opinions are mixed regarding whether specific individuals from the millennial period might also be present, but the primary focus is the final sentencing of the wicked.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: The timing.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: This occurs at the very end of time.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: After the thousand-year millennial reign of Christ and the final defeat of Satan, the purpose to formally review the deeds and works of those who rejected or never possessed God's salvation by use of their free will, because their names are not found written in the book of life.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: Their works serve as a record demonstrating their separation from God.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: And these works will be both good and bad works.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: They both fall into the same category because they come from the same tree.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: That is a tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: You can find nothing good in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: The outcome final condemnation and consignment to the lake of fire.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: This is also defined as a separation from God forever and all of eternity.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: There is no do-over, and God cannot be charmed to change his mind.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: So don't wait believing that somehow your life will be the exception for gaining God's favor and convincing him to change his mind about the whole idea that belief in his Son and His Son alone is the only way to the Father.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: His love is fixed on the sacrifice that his son made, and so you can be guaranteed that his show of appreciation for what Jesus did for humanity will be to stick to his guns as it relates to the process of salvation, redemption, and if you are on the right side of sanctification, only the authentically born again believers will be justified.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: So this ends the teaching or definitions of some critical end time words, although, for example, the definition on judgment is far reaching just beyond end times.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: But hopefully you get my drift as you've listened to these last four messages.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: If you are scholarly or a hungry learner, then you might be asking, hey podcast preacher, are there end time words that I also want to know what they mean?
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: Then happy are we to know that in some upcoming messages I will be defining some of those words.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: Each of those shorties will have about ten words, so as to keep them short and also to encourage you to listen to them more than once, as the definitions can take a minute to digest.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_00: And in these end time days, it is important to understand what the words mean.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_00: Let's close in prayer.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before your God and Father at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now may the God of peace, the one in whom we call wonderful, Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, may He Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_00: To our Lord of Lords and our King of Kings, who are high and lifted up, great high priest, who has once and for all paid the price, that you might see and hear God.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: May He hear and respond to our prayers.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: To our God we stand in praise, He too always lives to make intercession for you while seated at the right hand of the Father.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: May the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you what is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ to whom be glory forever and ever.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: Forever and ever, amen.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well that's it for today.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: Remember it's not what you find wrong or disagree with regarding these messages, but what you can take away from it.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: Together we can do more to impact the kingdom than if we work alone.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: Let's flip the script and still kill and destroy the works of the enemy and create space for the light of light to shine through in people's lives.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_00: Plan a seed and click on the like and subscribe button.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: We post on your social media platforms and help us to make disciples.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: Leak this message out or teach from it in your Bible study, your life for self groups, and yes, even in your church.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: You can be assured it comes from one called to teach, and though imperfect, you have the word of God to use to test everything I say.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: Let's build this ministry together.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_00: Thanks to see you next time in Deep Waters.
