Jesus Already Told Us What to Do in the First 24 Hours of the Tribulation · truthunedited

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus has already revealed to us with absolute precision what
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to do in the first twenty four hours of the tribulation.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty four should not be read as a set
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of ideas open to human imagination, nor as parables subject
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to poetic interpretations. It is a manual, an emergency map,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a set of direct, specific, urgent instructions spoken by the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: one who knows the end. From the beginning, these verses
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: were not given for theological curiosity, but for spiritual and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: physical survival. Jesus was describing realities that would unfold within hours,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: not distant theories, and many are shocked when they discover
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that there are five clear directives outlined by Christ himself,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: teachings that most Christians have never heard in a practical
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: or objective way. But before anything unfolds before our eyes,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: there is an inevitable question that crosses centuries. Do you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: know these instructions well enough to obey them without hesitation?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Because in the decisive moment, there will be no time
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for debates, doubts, interpretations, or quick searches. There will only
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: be the command and the response. The first instruction is simple,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: yet absolutely decisive. See and recognize immediately. Jesus makes this
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: crystal clear in Matthew twenty four fifteen when he declares,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: when therefore ye shall see the abomination of desolation spoken
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of by Daniel the prophet stand in the Holy place.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Whoso readeth, let him understand that final phrase, placed in parentheses,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like an eternal whisper, is not a footnote nor an
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: editorial comment. It is Christ himself leaning toward the reader,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: calling every generation to personal responsibility. If you are reading this,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: then you must understand. He demands discernment, vigilance, preparation. It
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is not enough to hear occasional sermons or to depend
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: on some one else's knowledge. You must see, interpret, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: recognize the sign the instant it appears. This is the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: first instruction. Be informed. No one obeys commands they do
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: not know. No one responds to a sign they cannot identify.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Jesus expects his followers to study prophecy, dive into Daniel,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and understand the historical and spiritual weight of the abomination
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of desolation. He does not call us to passivity, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to active strategic vigilance. Eyes awake, spirit alert, heart prepared,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and that is why he insists throughout the chapter. What
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, I say unto all watch. The
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: tribulation will not begin with media explosions, official speeches, or
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: global announcements. There will be no world wide countdown. It
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: will begin quietly with an act performed in Jerusalem in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Temple, something most of the world will not notice.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But you cannot be part of that unaware majority. When
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that sign appears, you must be able to say, it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is now. The time has begun. I must act immediately.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The truth is harsh. Most Christians to day could not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: explain what the abomination of desolation is, and according to Jesus,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that ignorance may cost lives for those who will be
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: among the ones required to flee when the event occurs,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and we will see who they are later. Recognizing the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: sign will not merely be important. It will be a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: matter of survival because the first twenty four hours will
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: separate the vigilant from the distracted, the prepared from the indifferent,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: those who obey without hesitation from those paralyzed by doubt.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And hesitation in that moment may be fatal because Jesus's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: second instruction demands instant reaction. Instruction number two is direct objective,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: with no room for debate. Flee immediately without hesitation, at
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the very moment the abomination appears, Jesus gives one single order, flee.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty four sixteen. kJ V declares, then, let them
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: which be in Judea flee into the mountains. Jesus mentions Judea,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because that will be the epicenter, the ground zero of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the event. Those who are there will be in immediate
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: danger and must leave before the trap closes around them.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But the principle is broader and echoes far beyond the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: borders of Jerusalem. When the Antichrist exalts himself as God
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and the tribulation officially begins, danger will spread rapidly. Revelation
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: twelve seventeen makes this clear. And the dragon was wrath
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: with the woman and went to make war with the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. The dragon Satan
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: will not wage war only in Judea. He will rise
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: against all who remain faithful in every nation, on every continent.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This is not limit to Judea. When Jesus commands his
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: people to flee, he points to a specific destination the mountains.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: This is not a casual detail or an abstract symbol.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Throughout the entire biblical narrative, the mountains were the last
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: refuge of the persecuted. Steep terrain, hidden caves, narrow passages,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: places where pursuers advance slowly, and where any siege becomes difficult.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Beyond that, they are far from major urban centers, where
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the system of the beast will establish itself with full force,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: with control, surveillance, restrictions, and immediate impositions. In the mountains
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: there is water, vegetation, game, and above all, space and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: silence in which to hide. David found shelter among the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: mountains as he fled from Saul's rage, moving between caves, ridges,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and ravines where the enemy's army simply could not reach
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: him quickly. Elijah, exhausted and threatened, sought no walls nor
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: human fortresses. His refuge was Horeb, the mountain where God's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: gentle whisper broke the silence. The Maccabees, resisting Seleucid tyranny,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: began their revolt among hills and stones, where harsh terrain
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: became an ally. Across the whole biblical story, whenever the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: world became hostile, the servants of God ascended, and there
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in the rugged and wild heights they survived. That is
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: why Jesus speaks with such clarity and weight. When the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: tribulation begins, run to the mountains, do not go to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the cities. And here we arrive at one of the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: greatest misunderstandings among modern readers. Many imagine Jesus expects an
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: organized evacuation, a carefully planned strategy, an emergency blueprint prepared
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in advance. But Christ is not talking about grand schemes.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: He presents no supply lists, no detailed routes. He gives
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: one word word flee. It is the language of absolute urgency.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It is the kind of order given when every second matters,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: when any hesitation may be the line between escaping and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: being caught. It is the warning of one who knows
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that when the abomination of desolation is manifested, there will
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be no time for calculations, discussions, or calm reasoning. It
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: will be a moment when thinking too much already means
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: thinking too late. And the instructions that follow reveal how literal,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: how sharp, how intensely practical Jesus is as someone describing
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a real and imminent scene. Instruction number three is a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: shock to anyone accustomed to human logic about protection and survival.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Do not go back for anything. Christ descends to the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: level of everyday life. He describes real places, real movements,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: human reactions that anyone would naturally have. Imagine someone on
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the rooftop, perhaps resting up to work, perhaps praying, perhaps
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: watching the sunset over Jerusalem. Suddenly the news arrives. The
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: abomination of desolation has happened. The Antichrist has just declared
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: himself God in the temple. Instinctively, anyone would rush downstairs
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to grab a prepared bag, gather food, water, documents warn
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the family, rescue something valuable. But Jesus cuts through this
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: natural impulse with an almost abrupt command, do not go down,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: do not take anything from your house. Go. Another person
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: is in the field, tending the land, living an ordinary day,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and the news strikes like a blade slicing the air.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: The human mind will try to return, grab clothes, collect supplies,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: say goodbye, rescue stored money, but Jesus repeats, do not
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: turn back, do not even take your cloak. Go straight.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: This instruction sounds harsh because it is harsh. It is
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: not exact his adoration, not metaphor not dramatization. It is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a danger so immediate, so aggressive, so fast, that minutes,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: even seconds may determine who escapes and who is found.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: When the system of the beast rises with full force
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in those first moments, the persecution will be sharp, sudden,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and relentless. To reinforce this reality, Jesus cites one of
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the most disturbing examples in Biblical history in Luke seventeen
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: thirty one to thirty two. It is written in that day,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: he which shall be upon the housetop, let him not
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: come down to take them away. And he that is
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in the field, let him likewise not return back. Remember
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Lot's wife. Those three words, Remember Lot's wife, carry a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: warning that echoes through the centuries. When God brought Lot
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and his family out of Sodom, he gave a simple command, flee,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: do not look back. But Lot's wife hesitated. Her heart
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: remained tied to the life she was leaving, to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: past God was destroying. She looked and became a pillar
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of salt. She was so close to salvation. She was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: running with angels at her side, but she could not
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: let go of her old life, and Jesus says, remember this,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: because at the beginning of the tribulation, the same mistake
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: will cost lives. You may know the prophecy, you may
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: recognize the sign, you may even take the first steps.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: But if your attachment to comfort, routines, possessions, and the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: world you built speaks louder than obedience, you may simply
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not escape in time. That is why inner preparation is
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not a spiritual luxury, it is survival. If you wait
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to reflect only when everything begins, your heart will want
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to go back for something, a bag, documents, money, objects
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that feel indispensable. But if you accept now that all
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of this may be lost, and still trust the command
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of Christ, then when the moment comes, you will obey
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: without hesitation. You will flee without looking back. You will
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: leave everything where it is, and you will save your life.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus values your life more than any earthly possession. The
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: question is do you? And here we see how deeply,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: almost personally, Christ cares for those who follow him. He
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: does not merely tell you what to do when the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: sign appears. He gives an instruction that begins long before
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the event, an interior preparation silent and necessary. He wants
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you ready before the world even realizes what is happening.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Instruction number four is powerful understand the severity of what
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is coming. Jesus does not soften his words to make
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: them more palatable. He does not say it will be hard,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: but you'll manage somehow. He chooses total, absolute truth, because
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: only those who grasp the gravity of the events will
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: develop the urgency necessary to survive. Matthew twenty four twenty
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: one to twenty two declares, for then shall be great
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: world to this time, no nor ever shall be. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: except those days should be shortened. There should no flesh
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: be saved, but for the elect's sake, those days shall
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: be shortened. Let these words breathe inside you, such as
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was not since the beginning of the world, nor ever
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: shall be. Jesus is declaring that nothing, absolutely nothing in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: human history compares to what is coming. Not the flood
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in the days of Noah when the entire world was
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: swallowed by water, Not the plagues of Egypt, not the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, Not the plague that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: darkened medieval Europe, not the wars that scarred the twentieth century.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The Great Tribulation will surpass all of these combined. It
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: will be so devastating, so widespread, so absolute, that if
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: God did not intervene, if he did not limit the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: duration of that period, not only would many die or
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: most perish, but no flesh would survive. Humanity itself would
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: be wiped from the earth. And that is exactly what
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the Tribulation would accomplish if God allowed the clock to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: run its full course. Why does Jesus reveal something so
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: terrible not to paralyze his followers with fear, but so
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: they may grasp the seriousness of his words. When the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: true magnitude of the Great Tribulation finally reaches the heart,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: when you understand that it is a period without precedent
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in the history of the world, the commands of Christ
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: stop sounding like optional counsel. They become living orders, urgent,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: vital commands that mark the line between life and death,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: between escape or destruction, between remaining at God's side or
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: being lost in the chaos. If Jesus says flee, you flee.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: If he says do not return, you do not return.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: If he says, pray, you pray, because nothing, absolutely nothing
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: will ever be more serious than this. But in the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: midst of such a dark prophecy, Jesus leaves a ray
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of hope, a verse that shines like an open window
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the heart of a storm. For the elect's sake,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: those days shall be shortened. This is a direct act
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of divine mercy. God will supernaturally limit the duration of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the tribulation, not because the world deserves compassion, for it
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: does not, but because He has a people, his elect,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and they must survive for his purposes to be fulfilled.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: For their sake, the days will be shortened. And here
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: is the powerful implication. Your immediate obedience in the first
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours will place you among those who experience
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: that mercy. Those who hesitate put themselves in danger. Those
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: who obey come under divine protection even in days of judge.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: But Jesus, fully aware of human frailty, gives us one
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: final warning, a warning directed especially to those who will
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: be running, wounded, exhausted, with bodies weakened and souls stretched
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to the limit. Instruction number five is clear, do not
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: be deceived in the midst of chaos, when you are
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: running for your life, when everything you owned has been
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: left behind, when hunger tightens, when exhaustion weighs on your bones,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: when fear tries to suffocate your hope. It is in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that moment that your vulnerability will be most dangerous. Jesus
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: knows this, and that is why, after commanding his people
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to flee, he adds the warning. Matthew twenty four twenty
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: three to twenty six declares, then if any man shall
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: say unto you, lo, here is Christ or there, believe
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it not, for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I have told you before. Wherefore, if they shall say
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: unto you, behold he is in the desert, go not forth.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Behold he is in the secret chambers. Believe it not
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Notice the setting. Jesus says, then, meaning after the abomination
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: of desolation, after believers begin to flee, in that period
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of fear, loneliness, hunger, and exhaustion, false Christs and false
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: prophets will arise. They will not be ridiculous pretenders. They
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: will perform signs wonders, supernatural manifestations so convincing that they
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: would cause even the elect to waver if that were possible.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: They will be dangerously persuasive, They will display power, They
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: will appear wise, spiritual, miraculous, and desperation. Will tempt many
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to believe. And Jesus makes it clear these manifestations will
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: be real, but they will not come from God. These
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: deceptions will be aimed like precise arrows, targeted directly at
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: those who are weakest, the tired, the hungry, the wounded,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: those searching for answers, those who left everything behind and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: only want to survive one more day. The deception will
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: be designed specifically to strike those who are fleeing, those
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: living in caves and ravines, those starving, freezing, isolated, vulnerable,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: and thirsty for any sign of safety. And Jesus continues
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: describing the target of this spiritual strategy, leaving no room
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: for doubt about who the focus will be. The deception
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: will be meticulously aimed at you, the true followers, those
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: who will be scattered across the mountains, living among rocks
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and caves, searching for food, water, shelter, any direction that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: offers hope. These false anointed ones will not appear before
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the chaos when life is stable. They will not arise
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: in times of peace, when discernment is clear and the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: mind is rested. They will come at the exact moment
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of vulnerability, when desperation opens, cracks in the soul, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: circumstances cry out for a comforting voice. That is why
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus insists with such firmness. Believe them not, Do not
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: go out, Do not believe. These warnings are not repeated
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: by accident. He knows these deceivers will not offer ordinary lies,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: but falsehoods wrapped in signs, wonders, miracles and demonstrations that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: will appear wholy, yet will come directly from the enemy.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: They will say, the Christ is in the desert, he
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: is in a secret chamber. Follow me, he sent me.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But Jesus, in his love, reveals everything beforehand. I have
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: told you in advance. These signs will not come from him.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And then he establishes an absolute contrast, a truth that
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: destroys every fraud. The true coming of Christ cannot be imitated.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: He makes certain that no one can confuses the real
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: return with human manifestations. When He comes again, there will
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: be no rumors, no leaders pointing in a direction, no
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: secret groups announcing appearances. It will not be something hidden, localized,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: or private. His coming will be like lightning tearing through
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the sky, an explosion of glory stretching across the earth
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: from one end to the other, visible, thunderous, irresistible, universal.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Everyone will see it, the righteous and the wicked, believers
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and unbelievers, kings and beggars. The entire world will witness
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the return of the Son of Man. Therefore, any hidden event,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: any secret appearance, any figure presenting himself as Christ away
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: from the eyes of the world, is not Christ. It
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: is deception. And then we reach the conclusion that ties
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: together everything Jesus taught. He did not give these instructions
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to create panic, but to preserve lives. The first tw
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours of the tribulation will be the most
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: decisive period of your physical and spiritual existence. In that
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: brief window, five divine commands will determine who survives and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: who is swallowed by the chaos. See and recognize the sign.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Flee immediately, do not return for anything. Understand the unprecedented severity.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Do not be deceived in the chaos. These five instructions
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: are like five keys that Christ places in the hands
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of his disciples, keys of survival, wisdom, and faithfulness. And then,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: after all these warnings comes the question that pierces the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: soul like an unavoidable echo. Will you treat the words
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of Jesus as suggestions or as commands? Because nothing he
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: said is metaphor nor symbolic language meant for distant interpretation.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: It is not prophetic poetry, nor a parable open to opinion.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It is literal, it is urgent, it is prophetic, it
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: is real. Every instruction Jesus gave was meant for a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: specific moment, a moment that will come upon the earth
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: like nothing before it. And those who listen to his
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: words will live. Those who ignore them will not. But
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: even in the midst of a scene filled with judgment,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a glorious truth rises, like a flame that cannot be extinguished.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: God will shorten the days for the sake of his
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: elect He still reigns, he still sees, he still cares.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: The Lord will not abandon his people to darkness. He
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: will not allow evil to rule without limits. The tribulation
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: will have an end, because the mercy of God has
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: a target you. And then, after everything, after the fleeing,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the endurance, the chaos, the tears, and the perseverance. Jesus
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: will come, not hidden, not silent, not discreet, but in
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: unfathomable power, in overwhelming glory, in a light no man
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: can behold without trembling. And all those who remained faithful,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: all who kept watch, all who obeyed his words, even
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: when the entire world called it madness, will be vindicated.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: They will be preserved, They will be welcomed into the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: kingdom that shall never end. See you soon
