- 0:03This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
- 0:08Waffer, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland, County
- 0:12of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
- 0:16continues teaching through God's Word.
- 0:37The. Salt and light that affects the
- 0:39culture that keeps pushing back the darkness.
- 0:42The people that deal with the government and still try to vote
- 0:47for things that are for God's Kingdom and his glory and fight
- 0:51against the lives of abortion and all these other things that
- 0:55are going on today in our culture that are becoming more
- 0:57and more acceptable. You know, the groups that affect
- 1:01that in a. Positive way.
- 1:03And the sense of. Deterring.
- 1:04The force of darkness moving on is the Christian right?
- 1:08Have you ever eaten something that tasted bland?
- 1:11Maybe it was some chicken that was under seasoned or some
- 1:15guacamole that was missing its salt and lime.
- 1:18You see, salt helps everything have some flavor and can change
- 1:23the complexion of a meal. In today's message, Pastor Clark
- 1:26says you must be the salt and light in this world.
- 1:31Everything around is saying to turn away from God, but it's
- 1:34your job to make a difference. Change what people think of who
- 1:38God is and push them to have a relationship with him.
- 1:42Now, here's Pastor Clark in the Book of Revelation chapter 13
- 1:47with today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
- 1:50It's sort of like John F Kennedy, as many of us remember
- 1:54the tragedy of what happened in his life when he was
- 1:57assassinated. It would be like him coming back
- 2:00to life again. Do you realize the influence?
- 2:02The world would. Be impacted by his life.
- 2:06He was an astounding leader. He was a charismatic
- 2:09personality. I'm not saying he's the
- 2:11Antichrist, but I'm trying to give you a picture.
- 2:13It's going to impact world's civilization and culture so much
- 2:17that they're going to be mesmerized by the the leadership
- 2:20and the incredible. Miraculous situation that has
- 2:24occurred and so in verse 4 it talks about the the the worship
- 2:29this individual who's given authority to the beast and they
- 2:33worship the beast saying who is like the beast who is like who's
- 2:37able to make war against him in other words this world ruler is
- 2:39so. Astounding.
- 2:41So powerful, so influential. There's no one like him.
- 2:45And that's what we should say about the God of the universe,
- 2:47who is like unto the God of heaven, right?
- 2:49As a matter of fact, the psalmist even uses that.
- 2:52But people will be. Declaring this person as the
- 2:56leader in this particular given time, I think about the horror
- 3:01of Hitler, Adolf Hitler. Who would have ever thought that
- 3:04a group of people in a country could lift someone up to this
- 3:08kind of authority and leadership?
- 3:10The furor and basically claim him as the new world ruler to
- 3:16exterminate anyone who wasn't of the particular bloodline that he
- 3:20dictated. Basically to wipe out the Jews.
- 3:22That was the biggest attack from the evil one in in modern days,
- 3:26along with Stalin and Lenin and many other dictators.
- 3:29Who are anti God and living on the face of the earth today but
- 3:32people paid homage. To Hitler if you were a kid and
- 3:36you found out your parents. Really weren't supportive of.
- 3:38His movement, his agenda, your job for the was to turn your
- 3:42parents in and the Bible says even in the last days that
- 3:45mother will be against son and father against daughter and
- 3:48they'll be this chaos and families because of the.
- 3:51Blindness of those who don't believe against those who do
- 3:55become believers during this time.
- 3:57There was a terrible persecution in the country of Romania during
- 4:01the times of Stalin. I watched the video recently and
- 4:04the horror of what they did. They took anybody that professed
- 4:09faith in God who were Christians, and they took him to
- 4:12a concentration camp. And their goal, they had medical
- 4:15doctors that shot him up with drugs and they had.
- 4:18All this psychological intervention to try to break the
- 4:20will and the. Spirit of the people so that
- 4:22they would break their personality and their
- 4:25temperament and they put these people through incredible
- 4:28heartache and tragedy and difficulty for many years until
- 4:31it was brought out into the rest of the world.
- 4:33And Russia decided at that time that they would close the prison
- 4:37down and destroy those who the prison guards and the prison
- 4:41leader and anybody who was involved the doctor.
- 4:44So no one had any kind of knowledge about what had
- 4:46happened. But there was some testimonies
- 4:48of some Orthodox Christians that came out of this horrible
- 4:51experience and they gave their testimony of how God's grace
- 4:54spared them in the midst of the horror of the persecution and
- 4:58the trials and the trauma. And it was horrible when you it
- 5:01doesn't broke your heart when you thought about what people go
- 5:03through in different parts of the world.
- 5:06And yet God in his mercy is so strong in them that they don't
- 5:10abandoned their faith. And they give hope to many
- 5:12others. But this Antichrist is going to
- 5:14be such a hateful and vindictive person that anybody.
- 5:17Who's discovered on the face of the earth during that time?
- 5:20Who has become a believer will be.
- 5:24Persecuted and his goal is to destroy them.
- 5:27He'll be given tremendous power and authority.
- 5:29He'll have control over the most powerful of nations, including.
- 5:34Us, this country, he'll speak great.
- 5:37Things and blasphemies. He'll claim himself to be God.
- 5:40This is also identified in Daniel.
- 5:43Chapter 7 and 11. Just a little picture of what
- 5:45this guy's like in Second Thessalonians Chapter 2.
- 5:49It's it's wonderful that God gives us the insights and the
- 5:52Scriptures. So we.
- 5:53Don't have to be deceived, but he says in chapter 2, verse one,
- 5:58Brother, brethren, considering the coming of the Lord Jesus
- 6:01Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you not
- 6:04to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by
- 6:07word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ
- 6:11had come. Let no one deceive you by any
- 6:14means, for that day will not come unless there's a falling
- 6:16away that comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son
- 6:20of perdition. So the good news for Christians,
- 6:23for believers, we're not going to be here during this time of
- 6:26great tribulation. We believe in the rapture of the
- 6:28Church, that Christ will take us out prior to the time of the
- 6:31Antichrist ruling and will be taken up into heaven.
- 6:35It tells us in the Thessalonians, chapter 4, that
- 6:38there'll be a sound of a trumpet in the voice of the Archangel,
- 6:41and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
- 6:44Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up
- 6:46together with the Lord, to meet the Lord in the air, and to meet
- 6:50the Lord in the clouds, And so shall we ever be with the Lord.
- 6:53And, and Paul tells the Christians at that time comfort
- 6:56one another with these words, right to comfort each other.
- 6:59But there were people during this time that the Bible is
- 7:02written, they're going around telling people all the Lord's
- 7:04already come, you've been left behind, and now you're going to
- 7:07have to suffer all this. Trauma, but this will be the
- 7:09signs of some of the things that will begin to transpire prior to
- 7:13us being taken out of here. It's quite possible that this
- 7:16world leader will come to role even in our time before we're
- 7:20taken out at the rapture. All hell doesn't really break
- 7:23loose until the 2nd 3 1/2 years of this tribulation, the final 3
- 7:281/2 years. But there will be this also this
- 7:31falling away. And we're living in a day in an
- 7:33age where churches are dying around the world.
- 7:37The. Attention or interest in.
- 7:39The things of God are becoming less and less as we move closer
- 7:43to the last days. Now those who really know Christ
- 7:46are getting hotter and hotter, but those who we're like fair
- 7:49weather Christians, hey I'll follow Christ as long as lifes
- 7:51good and everything is cool I'll follow them.
- 7:53But soon as things get difficult.
- 7:55There's a group of people that aren't real believers that
- 7:58they'll begin to fall away, the Bible says, and they'll actually
- 8:01begin to curse him and deny that they've ever even known him.
- 8:06And so we see that this Antichrist, he'll set himself up
- 8:09above all that is called God, or that is worship, and he sits as
- 8:13God in the. Rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem The
- 8:16temple that the Jews use will be rebuilt to continue sacrifices
- 8:20during the Tribulation. Once this thing's rebuilt,
- 8:23sometime after the 1st 3 1/2 years of this tribulation, this
- 8:27Antichrist is going to show his true colors and he's going to
- 8:30have the audacity to sit on the throne in the temple and claim
- 8:34to be God. It says Paul said, says, do you
- 8:36not remember that when I was still with you, I told these
- 8:39things, told you these things and now you know what is
- 8:42restraining or what is holding back that he may be revealed in
- 8:45his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness
- 8:48is already at work. Only he who now restrains will
- 8:51do so until he's taken out of the way and we.
- 8:53Believe that what restrains us force of evil and Helly's
- 8:57persecution on the earth today is the body of Christ, the
- 9:00church. Whenever we're taken out of this
- 9:03world as a group of believers, it doesn't matter what
- 9:06denomination, as long as you're. A true believer in.
- 9:08Jesus Christ, you've been born again.
- 9:10You're trusting in him for your. Salvation.
- 9:13You'll be taken out. The Holy Spirit's still going to
- 9:15be working on earth, but the. Salt and light that affects the
- 9:19culture that keeps pushing back the darkness, the people that
- 9:24deal with the government and still try to vote for things
- 9:28that are for God's Kingdom and his glory and fight against the
- 9:32lives of abortion and all these other things that are going on
- 9:36today in our culture that are becoming more and more
- 9:38acceptable. You know the groups that affect.
- 9:41That in a positive way and the sense of deterring.
- 9:44The force of darkness, moving on, is the Christian right.
- 9:48For the most part, it's people who have faith in Christ that
- 9:50believe in the moral rules of the government of God's Kingdom.
- 9:55And so, but whenever that influence is taken out, then
- 9:58this lawless one will be revealed.
- 10:01But it says the Lord will consume him with the breath of
- 10:04his mouth, and destroy him with the brightness of.
- 10:06His coming. So when Christ comes back at the
- 10:08end of the Tribulation in the second coming, what a great
- 10:11victory that will be whenever He.
- 10:13Deals with this evil one once and for all but this one will
- 10:17speak greatly things and he'll blasphemy, he'll curse and he'll
- 10:21hate anything that has to do with the Lord and his church and
- 10:25his people in verse 7 it tells us in verse Revelation 13 verse
- 10:30seven. It was granted to him to make
- 10:33war with the Saints and to overcome them, and the authority
- 10:36was given him over every tribe, nation and tongue.
- 10:40You know you want. To warn people you love guys
- 10:42that they need to receive Christ.
- 10:44Now let everybody thinks, well, I got time.
- 10:47I don't know why in the world we try to push off the greatest
- 10:51gift that we could ever be given as human beings.
- 10:53But again, that's the force of darkness deceiving us.
- 10:56But today is a day of salvation. Why push it off?
- 11:00I don't know. The rapture could happen
- 11:02tomorrow. It could happen next week,
- 11:04within the year. I don't know.
- 11:05But we're sooner and closer than ever before.
- 11:08Why would someone want to be left here on Earth?
- 11:11To face these horrible things that are about to come upon the
- 11:14earth, those who become believers during the
- 11:17tribulation. And there will be hope, many
- 11:19people that will be. On the earth at that time.
- 11:22Will. Realize that all the things you
- 11:24told them when you were living were true.
- 11:26And they're going to say, wow, that that that thing I heard in
- 11:29church or when my friend or my relative or my loved one told me
- 11:32I needed to get saved. It's really true.
- 11:34I'm going to follow. I want to believe what they told
- 11:36me. I was to believe and and the
- 11:39Lord will be merciful. He'll save people during the
- 11:42tribulation, but it'll be an unbelievable time to have to
- 11:44live and those who become believers during this
- 11:47tribulation. Will suffer as I said.
- 11:51But you know, Jesus said, and it says here, that the devil in
- 11:55this particular section of Scripture will overcome them.
- 11:57So we know this. Isn't the church this is
- 11:59referring to believers who people who become believers at
- 12:03the time? Of the Tribulation, because
- 12:04Jesus said upon this rock I will build my church, remember.
- 12:08He's talking to Peter and he's telling them, Peter, who do you
- 12:11say that I am? And Peter said, you are the
- 12:13Christ, the Son of the living God.
- 12:15And Jesus told him, upon this affirmation, upon this belief,
- 12:19upon this faith for all people, I will build my.
- 12:22Church and what do you say and the.
- 12:24Gates of hell will not prevail against it so.
- 12:28In the instance here where it tells us that the devil is going
- 12:31to prevail and overcome them, we know it's not referring to the
- 12:34Church because, as I said, the church has been.
- 12:37Taken. Out at the rapture and in verse
- 12:408 it says all who dwell on the earth will worship him whose
- 12:44names have not been written in the book of life.
- 12:46So all. The people on the earth, whether
- 12:48they want to or not, will be forced to worship this.
- 12:50One the way they'll worship him is to.
- 12:52Receive the mark of the Beast, they'll pay.
- 12:55Homage to him And basically when you take the mark of the beast,
- 12:58it's all over. There's no more opportunity for
- 13:01repentance. You've already cast your vote to
- 13:03trust and believe in the Evil 1, The Book of Life if you flip
- 13:08over to Revelation 20 if you've never heard of it.
- 13:11I want to. Encourage you today that.
- 13:13If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, God has a book in heaven
- 13:17that your name is written in. There won't be any mistake on
- 13:20the last day of judgment. The books will be.
- 13:22Open. And this is what it'll this is
- 13:24what will happen. And I saw Thrones, and then that
- 13:27sat on them, and judgment was committed to them.
- 13:29I saw the souls of those who have been beheaded for the
- 13:32witness of Jesus and for the word of God, who had not
- 13:35worshipped the beast or his image, and had not received His
- 13:38mark on their foreheads or on their.
- 13:39Hands the wonderful glory, you know God, you know our bodies
- 13:45can be taken out of this world, but no one can kill our souls.
- 13:49What's going to live? Forever is our.
- 13:51Souls in heaven. With God in a new body.
- 13:54And so even those who were martyred during the tribulation
- 13:57period, we see them in this heavenly scene at the end of
- 14:00time that they're alive, they're not dead, and they're given
- 14:04glory because they didn't worship the beast, they didn't
- 14:07receive his mark in their foreheads.
- 14:09And they lived and they reigned with Christ for 1000 years, the
- 14:12thousand year reign, the millennial Kingdom after the
- 14:14second coming and verse 5 but the rest of the dead did not
- 14:18live again until the thousand years were finished.
- 14:20And this is the first resurrection.
- 14:22It says blessed and holy is he who has part in the resurrection
- 14:26over such the second death has no power, but they shall be
- 14:29priests of God's God and of Christ, and shall reign with him
- 14:331000 years so. The good news is, today, if
- 14:37you're a Christian and you're trusting in Christ, where's your
- 14:40name? It's written in the book of
- 14:43life. Can it be erased?
- 14:45Oh God has no eraser. Once you're there, he's placed
- 14:50you there for all. Eternity if it was.
- 14:53If there was an eraser, that would be up to you then, right?
- 14:56Oh, I messed up. I got to do something to try to
- 14:58get back in again. It's because of Christ.
- 15:01And what He's done for us, His grace and His mercy, that our
- 15:04names are written in the book of life.
- 15:06Jesus says to the. Disciples.
- 15:07They're out and they're evangelizing and they're all
- 15:10excited and they come back. We had power over the devil.
- 15:12We cast out demons and we did this.
- 15:14They're all excited. About the miracles and.
- 15:16Jesus says I saw Satan fall from.
- 15:18Heaven like lightning, he says. Don't be excited that you have
- 15:23authority over spirits and they're subject to you.
- 15:27But he says rejoice. In this because your names.
- 15:31Are written in the Book of Life. Your names are written in
- 15:34heaven. That's what we rejoice in.
- 15:36That's the good news. So where are we today?
- 15:40Where are you? Today, do you truly love God?
- 15:45Do you love? Christ do you?
- 15:46Love the Holy Spirit. Or do we daily?
- 15:49Have no relationship. With God is your.
- 15:52Back to God today. Do you curse God?
- 15:54Do you ignore God? Or do you desire to have a
- 15:58relationship with God? Do you love Him?
- 16:00Do you seek to honor him? Do.
- 16:02You seek to serve Him. Do you seek to worship Him?
- 16:04Do you seek to praise and magnify Him?
- 16:07Do you live your life in continual metanoia, which means
- 16:10repentance? Lord, have mercy on me, the
- 16:12Sinner. If you live that way and you
- 16:16examine yourself daily because you want to be found faithful by
- 16:20the grace of God, then Christ is your Savior.
- 16:23And this is not your savior, but your Lord.
- 16:26A lot of people think, well, I can come to Jesus and disbelieve
- 16:29a fire insurance policy, don't have to go to hell and all that
- 16:32kind of stuff, but I don't have to really follow him.
- 16:35That's a deception. The Bible clearly says and Jesus
- 16:39says. Himself.
- 16:40Why do you call me Lord Lord and do not the things I say at the
- 16:44final judgment when he's judging the sheep from the goat?
- 16:47He knows those who are his and those who aren't.
- 16:50And those who claim that they knew him by all the things they
- 16:53did in their life, Jesus says depart from you cursed.
- 16:57I never knew you. So we see that as we look at
- 17:03what God is doing in these last days and how he's.
- 17:05Moving, we all have to realize. If anyone has an ear, as it says
- 17:10in verse 9, let him hear. It's also interesting in verse 9
- 17:15of chapter 13 it doesn't say If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
- 17:19What the Spirit says to the church.
- 17:21He said that in chapter 2 and three, the church is no longer
- 17:24here. He's speaking to those who are
- 17:27going to be. Living during that time, if
- 17:29anyone has an ear, let him hear. First Revelation, chapter 3 Six.
- 17:34When he talked to the churches, he said he who has an ear, let
- 17:37him hear. What the Spirit says to the
- 17:39churches. So again, evidence and
- 17:41documentation that the Church has been removed from the earth.
- 17:44Outside of this chaotic. Time.
- 17:46So the devil's going to make war against the Saints, against the
- 17:49believers in the Tribulation. He's going.
- 17:52To take them captive and he's going to destroy them.
- 17:55It says in verse 10 he leads into captivity, into captivity
- 17:58shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must
- 18:01be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the
- 18:04faith of the Saints. It tells us in the book of
- 18:08Psalms, precious in the sight of the Lord is the.
- 18:10Death of his Saints. I don't want to be martyred.
- 18:13I prefer to live a long life and to stop breathing, you know?
- 18:16That's my preference. When one guy died on the 18th
- 18:19hole of the golf course, that's a nice way.
- 18:20He sunk the putt and then he had a heart attack.
- 18:22He died. That's the preferable way,
- 18:24right? But you know, to be a martyr for
- 18:28Christ is really a glorious thing.
- 18:31We studied the earth early church in the in the apostles,
- 18:34how they were taken out of this world through martyrdom, the
- 18:38early church fathers who were martyred.
- 18:40For their stand and their faith in Jesus Christ, there's a
- 18:43special blessing for those who have been martyred.
- 18:47In Revelation chapter 6 as we start to wind down verses 9, it
- 18:51says when he opens the 5th seal he says I saw under the altar
- 18:55the souls of those who have been slain for the word of God and
- 18:58for the testimony which they held.
- 19:00Wouldn't it be awesome? I'm not trying to be like heroic
- 19:04here, but to be recognized in heaven that I died for my faith
- 19:08in Christ. And for the word of God, and it
- 19:13says a crowd with a loud voice. These are the martyrs saying,
- 19:15How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you a judge and avenge our
- 19:19blood on those who. Dwell on the earth.
- 19:21You know the. Martyrs are waiting for the.
- 19:22Day when justice will come. And God will deal with the.
- 19:26Ungodly on the face of the earth.
- 19:28And it says a white robe was given to each of them, and it
- 19:31was said to them that they should rest a little while
- 19:33longer, until both with the number of their fellow servants
- 19:37and their brethren who would be killed as they were were.
- 19:39Completed So all those who've been martyred from the beginning
- 19:42of time are walking around in robes of righteousness in the
- 19:47heaven. They're distinct from everyone
- 19:49else, not better, but different because of how they gave their
- 19:51lives for their faith, and they'll be remembered throughout
- 19:54eternity for why they did. What they did?
- 19:59But their heart is also. Burden and concern.
- 20:04For all those who are still on earth that will have to die the
- 20:08tragic death that they've died and the.
- 20:10Suffering and the struggle and the trials, but it's wonderful
- 20:14to know that we see here in Revelation that these martyrs.
- 20:17Aren't dead, but they're. Living and they're walking and
- 20:20they're relating with the. Throne of God and.
- 20:24As it said in Revelation. Chapter 20.
- 20:28The souls of those who have been beheaded for their witness to
- 20:31Jesus and for the word of God, they not had not worshipped the
- 20:35beast or his image, and not received his mark in their
- 20:38foreheads or on their hands. God knows your heart, He knows
- 20:42mine. He knows where you're at.
- 20:43He knows where I'm at. But this say for.
- 20:45Example that someone interrupted our church service.
- 20:48Today and they came in and they were with such and such
- 20:51government and. They had to make us aware of
- 20:55some changes that were happening and effective today there would
- 20:59be no ability for you to use. Your bank account.
- 21:02Unless you receive this new number in homage to the new
- 21:07world ruler, that you have to be under surveillance and be under
- 21:10his control. And you know, you have to have
- 21:14this, this mark in order to feed your kids and to pay your bills
- 21:17and your mortgage. And that they're lying.
- 21:19They're saying everything's going to be better.
- 21:20It's going to be you're going to prosper and everything's going
- 21:23to be good. If you didn't know what this
- 21:24said, you'd be real tempted to think, well, that makes sense,
- 21:27right? I'm going to get it right.
- 21:30You'd be crazy not to. But knowing what the Bible warns
- 21:33about and teaches, how many of us would this get up and stand
- 21:37up and say, I'm sorry, I can't take that and walk out?
- 21:40That's a question you have to ask yourself because that's
- 21:42really the dividing line between real faith and real trust in the
- 21:46Kingdom of God or actually having your trust in this
- 21:50current world system that we live in today that has already
- 21:54failed us right? Numerous times.
- 21:56The stock market crash of 29 when everybody lost everything.
- 22:00People jumping out of buildings because they were trusting in
- 22:03their finances. The financial crash that
- 22:06happened a few years ago where many of us that had any kind of
- 22:09investments lost at least half of them, if not more.
- 22:13Jesus says, you know, don't trust in uncertain riches,
- 22:18layout for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do
- 22:21not corrupt or thieves break in to steal away.
- 22:25Jim Elliott, that famous missionary, said he is no fool
- 22:27to lose what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.
- 22:32So May God exercise our hearts as we think about these things,
- 22:37preparing us for the return of the Lord today.
- 22:41If you're here and you've never put your faith in Christ and
- 22:43trusted in Him explicitly, and God will be merciful to you if
- 22:48you mean it, and pray and repent and ask Him to save you.
- 22:52And if you're here today as a Christian and you've just sort
- 22:54of been playing around. And sort of slip sliding away a
- 22:57little bit there. You want to allow the Lord to
- 23:00bring you back into that place of fullness and depth with Him
- 23:03so that you can walk closely with Him and also have a mind
- 23:06every day that you want lost people to know what Christ has
- 23:10freely told you. It's good news, right?
- 23:13And people need to know. But I'd hate to be a neighbor or
- 23:17friend and they knew you or me their whole life.
- 23:19And all of a sudden we're gone. Like, what?
- 23:20What happened? Where did they go?
- 23:22Well, and the government's saying, hey, aliens took them or
- 23:25who knows what conspiracy it'll come up with.
- 23:27The world will believe it. And then the people are here.
- 23:31And then they're sort of finding out that we didn't tell them
- 23:34what they needed to know. I'd be upset, wouldn't you?
- 23:38Someone like claimed to be a Christian that didn't actually
- 23:40give me Full disclosure. I'm not.
- 23:43I can't make anybody. You're just giving the
- 23:44information for what it's worth and let them make the decision.
- 23:47But at least there's there's disclosure, right?
- 23:51So we need to pray that God would help us.
- 23:53Disclose the truth to. Lost people.
- 23:57This has been Living Waters of Grace.
- 23:59With Pastor Clark. We're going through the
- 24:01challenging and also intriguing Book of Revelation.
- 24:05Whether you're a fan of reading ahead in books of fiction,
- 24:08there's such a benefit to reading ahead in the Bible to
- 24:11read about how it all ends. But in an interesting turn of
- 24:15events, the Book of Revelation is not really the end, but
- 24:20rather the beginning. It's the end of life as we know
- 24:23it here on earth, but there's so much to look forward to for what
- 24:28comes after all the judgement of the earth and those who reject
- 24:31God. There's a lot to work through,
- 24:34and it can be heartbreaking to read through the intense
- 24:38judgments and wrath that will come on those who hate God with
- 24:42all their might. The thing is, God has given
- 24:45chance upon chance to these people.
- 24:47They don't want it. So the outcome is that there are
- 24:51judgments and consequences for those who've rejected the good
- 24:55news and the gift of salvation that's offered through Jesus's
- 24:59death and resurrection. Are you one who has heard about
- 25:03these things but doesn't really want it because you want to live
- 25:07life on your terms? Trust me, living for Jesus is so
- 25:13much better. That doesn't mean it will be
- 25:15easy, but as you listen and read through Revelation with us,
- 25:19you'll come to a stark realization that you don't want
- 25:22to be on earth when the apocalypse happens.

- 25:30to a saving grace through faith that will allow you to be with
