- 0:03This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
- 0:08Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
- 0:12County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
- 0:16continues teaching through God's Word.
- 0:37And so as you and I look ahead to the future eternal Kingdom
- 0:42and the Lord Jesus reigning at the time of the Millennium,
- 0:44realize all this stuff is going on.
- 0:46And in between the Rapture and the Millennium, all the people
- 0:49you love and you care about, we need the power of the Holy
- 0:53Spirit to cause us to be intense, lovingly intense, not
- 0:57obnoxious, but lovingly concerned.
- 1:01So they, at least they understand it.
- 1:02All right. Once they understand it, you,
- 1:04you said your piece, you. That's it.
- 1:06Let the Holy Spirit then deal with it and work in their lives.
- 1:10How much time do you have left on earth?
- 1:12If you're listening and you're 20 years old, you might say 60
- 1:17plus years or so, and I pray that's true.
- 1:20But if you're listening and you're 80 years old, you might
- 1:23say 10 to 15 years. And if the averages are true,
- 1:27you're probably right. The point is, no one truly
- 1:31knows. We must share the gospel with
- 1:34our loved ones so that they can experience the joy of eternal
- 1:39life with Jesus after they pass from this earth.
- 1:43That is our purpose here on earth.
- 1:46Now here's Pastor Clark in Revelation Chapter 6 with
- 1:49today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
- 1:53It's important to be an influencing factor in this day
- 1:58that you live. I remember one time I was in
- 2:01Florida and I was playing golf at Amelia Island.
- 2:03It was a company deal and they put us in these foursomes and
- 2:06all this kind of stuff, and for some reason we only had a
- 2:08threesome. So I drove in the cart myself
- 2:11and the other two guys in front and they were just having a good
- 2:14old time pounding down the Miller lights and just talking.
- 2:16And, you know, one thing led to the next and the discussion
- 2:19started to get pretty risque. So my golf cart started getting
- 2:22farther and farther behind. There's I didn't want that in my
- 2:24head, you know. So I just, you know, backing up
- 2:27and all that and doing my thing. And finally I get up at a golf
- 2:30course to putt and then one guy says to me, are you religious or
- 2:33something? I said, I said no.
- 2:35I said I'm a Christian, but I wouldn't consider myself
- 2:37religious. And I follow Christ, you know,
- 2:40he goes, yeah, he says, and this blew my mind.
- 2:43This is how the Holy Spirit works.
- 2:44He goes, well, are you a ministry or something?
- 2:47I said, yeah, I passed her a small church back in Greensburg.
- 2:49Oh, yeah. What's the name of it?
- 2:50Calvary Chapel. He goes, I can't believe it.
- 2:53Chuck Smith married my wife and I, And then he goes, I know I'm
- 2:57not living the way I should be, the Holy Spirit.
- 3:00Now, I don't know what happened to him after that, where he
- 3:02went, what's going on with his life now.
- 3:05If I would have been like, it's OK to have a beer.
- 3:08I don't recommend it personally, because if I have a beer, I want
- 3:10to have 2345. That's just me, you know?
- 3:12So I don't have any anymore. But some people can have a beer
- 3:15and it's not a problem right now.
- 3:17If I would have had a beer or two, I would have been more
- 3:20like, you know, everybody has their own opinions about things.
- 3:24They say what they want. I wouldn't have been energized
- 3:27even say anything. Matter of fact, I would have
- 3:28probably said, boy, who am I to say anything right now?
- 3:31I'm not living as a spirit filled Christian.
- 3:33I'm more influenced by the alcohol than the Holy Spirit.
- 3:35So, you know, I was just so grateful that the Lord, you
- 3:39know, kept me from having to be involved with that kind of thing
- 3:43at that particular time. But it's important to realize
- 3:48that which hinders, and that's you and me, the body of Christ,
- 3:51when our influence is out of this world and out of our lives,
- 3:55of our families. Like mom and dad, I don't know
- 3:57where your kids are with the Lord, your grandpa or your
- 4:00extended family member as as much as our kids or our friends
- 4:05or our relatives can't stand us talking about Jesus when we're
- 4:09gone, no one's going to really tell them about Jesus.
- 4:12You know, today we have people that say they're Christians, but
- 4:15they're really not following the Lord.
- 4:17They they don't. It's a drag to give up an hour
- 4:20and a half on a Sunday morning. And so I'm just not going to go
- 4:24anywhere. I don't want to hear it or I
- 4:26don't want to deal with it. You know, we're like the frog in
- 4:29the frying pan. The heat's being turned up.
- 4:31We don't realize what we're moving toward.
- 4:33And of course, Revelation makes it clear.
- 4:36And so we sort of think life's going to be the way it is
- 4:39forever and it isn't. There will be a lake of fire
- 4:46that everybody that doesn't have Christ will be thrown into and
- 4:51they'll be suffering torment forever and ever and ever.
- 4:54I don't think we see that clearly.
- 4:56I don't think it's something that rivets our attention and it
- 4:59just, it sort of just goes over our head lots of times.
- 5:03But when this influence, the body of Christ is taken out of
- 5:07the way, this man of sin is going to be revealed.
- 5:09Now let's see what this Antichrist is going to be like.
- 5:12Turn to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2.
- 5:15And this gives a really clear description of this guy verse
- 5:18one. Now brethren, concerning the
- 5:20coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to
- 5:23him and that gathering together refers to the rapture that we
- 5:27have been taken out to be with Christ.
- 5:30It says not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled either by
- 5:33spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, as though the day
- 5:37of Christ had come. People back in those days were
- 5:40telling them that the Lord had already come back.
- 5:42There's people today, they're called preterists.
- 5:43They believe that Christ came back in AD 70 and we're actually
- 5:46living in the Kingdom age right now.
- 5:48If this is a Kingdom age, we're in a, we're in a cult man.
- 5:52This is not seriously, this is not the Kingdom age.
- 5:55I have no idea how they come up with this stuff.
- 5:57This is, let no one deceive you by any means, for that day will
- 6:00not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin
- 6:03is revealed. That's the Antichrist, the son
- 6:06of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is
- 6:09called God, or that is worship, so that he sits as God in the
- 6:13temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
- 6:16That's the abomination of desolation.
- 6:18He'll actually do that in the middle of that tribulation when
- 6:21he takes over everything says, Do you not remember that when I
- 6:23was still with you I told you these things, and now you know
- 6:27what is restraining? That he may be revealed in his
- 6:29own time. For the mystery of lawlessness
- 6:32is already at work. In other words, the spirit of
- 6:34Antichrist has been at work since the Garden of Eden.
- 6:36Has not God said twisting the word, deceiving, lying?
- 6:41It says He who now restrains will do so until he has taken
- 6:45out of the way, and then the lawless one will be revealed,
- 6:48whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and
- 6:51destroy with the brightness of His coming.
- 6:53The coming of the lawless 1 is, according to the working of
- 6:55Satan, with all power signs, lying wonders, and with all
- 6:59unrighteousness deception among those who perish because they
- 7:02did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.
- 7:05That's all. The people that didn't listen to
- 7:07what we were saying, they're on the earth when this guy comes to
- 7:10power and they didn't receive the love of the truth that they
- 7:13might be saved. They're going to believe a lie
- 7:15it says, and for this reason God will send them a strong delusion
- 7:18that they should believe the lie that they all may be condemned
- 7:22who did not believe the truth but had pleasure and
- 7:24unrighteousness. So a lot of people, whenever
- 7:27we're raptured and taken out of here, who on the earth, they're
- 7:29going to be relieved that we're gone and they're going to be
- 7:32breaking into your house and mine and trying to figure out
- 7:34how to get your assets and bank accounts.
- 7:36There's going to be a lot of prosperity for 3 1/2 years
- 7:38because a lot of people are going to be taken out at the
- 7:41rapture. And also the situation of the
- 7:44evil one in the sense of how he comes to influence people, the
- 7:49people who are left that remember what you said and says,
- 7:53oh man, my dad was right. Why didn't I believe?
- 7:57And, and now I'm in this, this tribulation period.
- 7:59And what am I going to do? And I know this guy, this
- 8:01Antichrist, I'm not going to follow him.
- 8:03I'm not going to take the mark of the beast.
- 8:05I'm not going to be under his authority.
- 8:07Those people will be martyred. Those people will be in prison
- 8:11and destroyed. And we'll talk about the, the
- 8:14martyrs in a couple minutes here.
- 8:16And so the Holy Spirit in the Church of Jesus Christ, we will
- 8:21be lifted up to be with the Lord at the rapture, the body of
- 8:24Christ, the influence, the sustaining salt, the
- 8:27purification, the the press back influence against ungodliness.
- 8:31Now the Holy Spirit is God, He's omnipresent, so he doesn't go up
- 8:34there and he's nowhere else. The Holy Spirit is everywhere
- 8:37present and fills all things. He's not a little power you put
- 8:41in a box and you take him here and there and he's, he's God,
- 8:44the Holy Spirit. So he will also still be on the
- 8:47earth influencing and convicting people of sin.
- 8:50There'll be 144,000 Jewish spirit filled believers on the
- 8:54earth at that time. That'll make Billy Graham look
- 8:57like he was sleeping at the wheel in regard to his
- 8:59evangelism. These are hardcore St. talking
- 9:02evangelists that will be out there giving their lives for the
- 9:05sake of the gospel along with other witnesses at that time.
- 9:08So there will be people who will get saved during that time, but
- 9:11they'll have to endure this horrible, horrendous period of
- 9:14time. So for 3 1/2 years there'll be
- 9:16peace and prosperity. And then this Antichrist will
- 9:20begin to, after the 3 1/2 years, begin to change things.
- 9:24Let's go back to Revelation now. Revelation chapter 6, verse 3.
- 9:30And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living
- 9:33creature saying, come and see another horse.
- 9:36Fiery red went out, and it was granted to the one who sat on it
- 9:39to take peace from the earth, and that the people should kill
- 9:42one another. And there was given to him a
- 9:45great sword. So we see this second horse
- 9:49bringing death, bringing horrendous things upon the
- 9:52earth. Fiery color means blood and
- 9:54destruction. This, the third horse then will
- 9:58begin to release, and we'll just keep reading here.
- 10:01When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature
- 10:03say, come and see. And I looked and behold a Black
- 10:05Horse. And he who sat on it had a pair
- 10:08of scales in his hand. And I heard the voice in the
- 10:10midst of the four living creatures saying, A quart of
- 10:13wheat for a denarius and three quarts of barley for a denarius
- 10:16and do not harm the oil and the wine.
- 10:20So the third horse, after all this death is poured out in the
- 10:23earth. There's going to be this famine
- 10:25that follows. And some people believe what
- 10:28happens in the midst of the fiery red horse is a Holocaust,
- 10:33a nuclear Holocaust. And we, and this time that we
- 10:36live, we are closer than ever to having another Hiroshima.
- 10:40It's in the hands of so many rogue nations now that have the
- 10:44power with the atomic bomb. And Iran is, if they're not
- 10:47already there, they're real close to to having it and
- 10:50they're continually working on it.
- 10:52And, and for whatever reason, it doesn't seem like anybody's
- 10:54trying to stop them. And so we see the fallout, you
- 10:58know, nuclear Holocaust, the fallout upon the face of the
- 11:01Earth will destroy food crops. They won't be healthy to eat.
- 11:04People won't be able, they'll be, they'll be starving.
- 11:07And as bad as we see on TV with the children starving in
- 11:10Ethiopia, it'll be across the face of the Earth like in Africa
- 11:15as we see those starving. It'll be like that all around
- 11:18the world. And it talks about the financial
- 11:20system at that time that the common labor.
- 11:23Now, you'll still have people who prosper and they'll still be
- 11:25able to get the good wine and the good oil, and they'll still
- 11:28be like trying to like live the good old life like they always
- 11:31did. Eventually that'll end too.
- 11:33But the average person that works like most of us, that
- 11:38works for a hard day's labor, all will make during that time
- 11:41because inflation will be so high that a bag of gold will buy
- 11:45a piece of bread basically. And if I go out and work
- 11:48basically all I do, I make enough money to feed myself.
- 11:52Just a horrible situation that will be upon the face of the
- 11:56earth. And verse 7 it says, And when he
- 11:58opened the 4th seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living
- 12:01creature saying, come and see. And I looked, and behold A pale
- 12:05horse, and the name of him who sat on it with death.
- 12:08And Hades followed with him. And the power was given them
- 12:11over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword, with hunger,
- 12:14with death and by the beasts of the earth.
- 12:17And so we see this next horse, the pale horse.
- 12:20It's sort of like a greenish color.
- 12:22It's symbolic of rotting flesh. This the body decaying and
- 12:26corrupting and the plague upon the face of the earth at the
- 12:30time 1/4 of the population that wake you guys up.
- 12:35I see some, I see some of you guys sleeping and I, I just feel
- 12:38like shaking it because this is like big time.
- 12:41I mean this is like it this is what it's all about you know,
- 12:44and Paul says don't sleep right. He says don't sleep because some
- 12:49have not the knowledge of God and I speak this your shame.
- 12:51I about broke my hand give a karate shop wouldn't have been
- 12:55wild if my hand when I went right through this and the whole
- 12:57pulpit with a split, but 1/4 of the population will be wiped
- 13:02out. That means 1 billion people, 1
- 13:06billion people. I mean, it's, it's staggering.
- 13:11The plagues are going to affect the face of the earth. 1/4 of
- 13:14the population will be wiped out in verse 9.
- 13:17And he opens 1/5 seal. And I saw under the altar the
- 13:20souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and
- 13:23for the testimony which they held.
- 13:26And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
- 13:29holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those
- 13:33who dwell on the earth. How long?
- 13:36And then a white robe was given to each of them, and it was said
- 13:39to them that they should rest a little while longer until both
- 13:43the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who
- 13:45would be killed as they were, was completed.
- 13:50The Bible says, precious in the sight of the Lord is the death
- 13:53of his Saints. One of the best ways to leave
- 13:56this life is to be martyred. Not that any of us would want to
- 13:59sign up for it, but they're going to be received in a
- 14:03special way before the Lord. He gives them that special robe,
- 14:07that white robe of righteousness, declaring them as
- 14:10incredible people who didn't deny their faith in Christ.
- 14:16They stood up against the evil influence and the Antichrist,
- 14:20and they were willing to die for what they believe.
- 14:23And as we study church history throughout the ages, there have
- 14:26been many thousands upon thousands of men and women who
- 14:29have given their life for the sake of Christ and who have been
- 14:31tortured in horrible ways. If you read Fox's Book of the
- 14:34Martyrs, some of that, and it tells you the stories of people
- 14:37who died for their faith. And we're afraid sometimes of
- 14:41telling someone that we follow Jesus because they might laugh
- 14:43at us or think we're weird. I mean, that's pretty, pretty
- 14:48weird, isn't it? These people are dying and
- 14:51shedding their blood, and they'll be remembered.
- 14:53The blood actually is put under the altar as a symbolic picture
- 14:57of their sacrifice and what it costs them to follow Christ.
- 15:02But there'll be this great revival during this tribulation
- 15:05period. As I said, all these Jewish
- 15:07believers will go out and spread the gospel, and all the people
- 15:12that refuse to take the mark of the beast at that time will be
- 15:15be martyred. In verse 12 it says.
- 15:17And I looked when he opened the 6th sea, and behold, there was a
- 15:20great earthquake. And the sun became black as
- 15:22sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.
- 15:25And the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops
- 15:28its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
- 15:31And then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and
- 15:34every mountain, an island was moved out of its place.
- 15:37And the kings of the earth, and the great men, the rich men, the
- 15:40commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every freeman,
- 15:43hid themselves in a caves and in the rocks of the mountains.
- 15:46And said to the mountains and rocks fall on us, and hide us
- 15:49from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath
- 15:52of the Lamb. For the great day of his wrath
- 15:55has come, and who is able to stand.
- 15:59You know, the Earth is out here in the middle of the universe on
- 16:03an axis and spinning and everything is smooth and
- 16:05everything is going OK, and we have the seasons and the
- 16:09harvests and all the wonderful things that we can experience
- 16:12living on this Earth. But if a meteor hits this Earth
- 16:16at the right trajectory, it can knock this earth off its axis
- 16:21and cause the earth to begin to wobble.
- 16:23And as the earth begins to wobble, everything begins to get
- 16:25shaken up. The waters and the seas and the,
- 16:28and the valleys will begin to just have tremendous pressure
- 16:31and begin to push things in directions that they never were
- 16:34intended to go. In cataclysmic events, a
- 16:37constant unstable movement of the earth.
- 16:40As these things shift, the oceans will begin to push and
- 16:44the mountains will begin to cave in and be pushed into the areas
- 16:47that they never were intended to be in.
- 16:50And the weight upon the crust of the earth.
- 16:52And I don't, I'm not a geologist.
- 16:53I don't know a whole lot about how the earth is formed.
- 16:56All I know is that it's a miracle how God did it all.
- 16:58But the foundation of the earth, of the plates and the crust,
- 17:01some parts of the earth have a thinner layer of crust that's
- 17:04supporting it. It will collapse and the water
- 17:07will push and the mountain range, as I said, will begin to
- 17:11shift. And it talks about this day of
- 17:13the Lord who will be able to stand.
- 17:17Aren't you glad that it promises us that we are saved from the
- 17:20day of wrath? I mean, what a wonderful Savior
- 17:24who loves us and died for us and gave up everything for the sake
- 17:28of us and for the whole world. You know, He doesn't want
- 17:30anybody to go through this, but there will be a time when
- 17:33enough's enough and he's given people a chance to repent and
- 17:37believe and they still don't want to do it.
- 17:39And his judgment is in a way, a kind judgment, but a righteous
- 17:43judgment because in the midst of his judgment, he knows that
- 17:45they'll still be people that will begin to say, I need a
- 17:48Savior, I need the repent of my sin.
- 17:51And they'll come to know Jesus Christ during that time.
- 17:55Romans 59 says much more than being now justified by his
- 17:58blood. We shall be saved from wrath
- 18:01through Him. 10th verse says we shall be saved by his life, and
- 18:06the great day of his wrath is soon to come upon this earth,
- 18:11and we're closer than ever. Do you guys know anybody that's
- 18:14going to probably go through that?
- 18:15Raise your hands. What are we going to do about
- 18:18it? Yeah, stay on them.
- 18:19It's our responsibility to pray and to don't give up.
- 18:22Don't get tired of witnessing. Don't get tired of sharing the
- 18:25faith. You and I can't make anybody get
- 18:28saved. It's all the work of God's
- 18:30Spirit. But we're the mouthpieces, the
- 18:31spokespeople, and we're the ones that proclaim this glorious
- 18:35gospel that Christ uses to bring people to himself.
- 18:38If you flip over as we begin to conclude in Matthew 24, the
- 18:42first section I'm going to read is about the first half of the
- 18:46Tribulation. We'll pick it up in verse 4 and
- 18:49we'll read the 14. And Jesus said to them, Take
- 18:52heed that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name,
- 18:55saying, I am the Christ, and will deceive many.
- 18:57And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars.
- 18:59See that you are not troubled. For all these things must come
- 19:02to pass. But the end is not yet.
- 19:04For nation will rise against nation, and Kingdom against
- 19:07Kingdom. And there will be famines and
- 19:09pestilences and earthquakes in various places.
- 19:11All these are the beginning of sorrows.
- 19:14Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and
- 19:17you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
- 19:21And then many will be offended. Will we betray one another and
- 19:24will hate one another? Then many false prophets will
- 19:27rise up and deceive many, and because lawlessness will abound,
- 19:30the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end
- 19:34shall be saved. And this is the gospel.
- 19:36The Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to
- 19:39all the nations, and then the end will come, the second-half
- 19:44of the tribulation, 15 to 26. Therefore, when you see the
- 19:47abomination of desolation, and that's what I was talking about,
- 19:50in the middle of that tribulation, when the Antichrist
- 19:52goes into the temple and sets himself on the throne and says
- 19:55he's God spoke by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy
- 19:59place, whoever reads, let him understand.
- 20:01Then let those who are in the Judea flee to the mountains.
- 20:04Let him who is in the housetop not go down to take anything out
- 20:07of his house, and let him who is in the field not go back to get
- 20:10his clothes. But woe to those who are
- 20:12pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days.
- 20:15And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the
- 20:18Sabbath. For then there will be great
- 20:20tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the
- 20:23world. Until this time no, nor ever
- 20:26shall be. And unless those days were
- 20:28shortened, no flesh would be saved.
- 20:30But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
- 20:35Then if anyone says to you, look, here is a Christ or there,
- 20:38do not believe it. For false Christs and false
- 20:40prophets will rise and show great signs of wonder and
- 20:42deceive if possible, even the elect.
- 20:45See, I've told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you,
- 20:47look, he's in the desert, do not go out, or look, he's in the
- 20:51inner rooms, do not believe it. And the 27 to 31 tells us about
- 20:56the preparation for the second coming of Christ when he
- 20:58returns. For as a lightning comes from
- 21:01the east and flashes to the West, so also will be the coming
- 21:04of the Son of Man. For whenever the carcasses is
- 21:07there, the eagles will be gathered together.
- 21:10Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the
- 21:14sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
- 21:16The stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens
- 21:20will be shaken. Then the Son of the Son of Man
- 21:22will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will
- 21:25mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of
- 21:28heaven with power and great glory.
- 21:30And he will send His angels with the great sound and a trumpet,
- 21:33and they will gather together His elect from all the four
- 21:36winds from one end of heaven to the other.
- 21:40So we have this exciting time on the horizon and you know, I
- 21:44look, I jump from the rapture and you know, not going to be
- 21:47here for the tribulation, but our prayers, Thy Kingdom come on
- 21:51earth as it is on heaven, in heaven.
- 21:53Our ultimate goal is to see Christ come back at the second
- 21:56coming because that's when all justice is going to be restored.
- 21:59He's going to roll with the iron hand and his righteousness will
- 22:04cover the whole earth. And so as you and I look ahead
- 22:08to the future eternal Kingdom and the Lord Jesus reigning at
- 22:12the time of the Millennium, realize all this stuff that's
- 22:14going on in between the rapture and the Millennium, all the
- 22:17people you love and you care about, We need the power of the
- 22:21Holy Spirit to cause us to be intense, lovingly intense, not
- 22:26obnoxious, but lovingly concerned so that at least they
- 22:29understand it. All right?
- 22:31Once they understand it, you said your peace, you.
- 22:33That's it. Let the Holy Spirit then deal
- 22:36with it and work in their lives. Second Peter, we're going to
- 22:39look at that. That's the last section.
- 22:41Second Peter, chapter 3. Beloved, I now write you the
- 22:46second epistle to stir up your pure.
- 22:48Minds by way of. Remembrance that you may be
- 22:52mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy
- 22:54Prophets. And of the commandments.
- 22:56Of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first,
- 23:02that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to
- 23:05their own lusts and saying, where is his?
- 23:07Promise of his coming. For since the fathers fell
- 23:10asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of
- 23:13creation. For this they willfully forget
- 23:16that by the word of God, the heavens were of.
- 23:18Old and Earth. Standing out of the water, and
- 23:20in the water by which the world that then existed perished,
- 23:24being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth,
- 23:27which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for
- 23:31fire. Until the day.
- 23:32Of judgment and perdition. Of ungodly men, beloved.
- 23:36Do not forget this one thing that with the Lord one day is is
- 23:39a. 1000 years. And 1000 years.
- 23:41Is one day the. Lord is not slack concerning His
- 23:44promise is some kind slackness, but His long-suffering toward
- 23:48us. Not willing that any should.
- 23:50Perish. That that all should.
- 23:53Come to repentance and none. His has been Living Waters of
- 23:59Grace With Pastor Clark, we're going through the challenging
- 24:02and 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.
- 24:28But what comes after all? The judgement of the earth and
- 24:30those who reject God? There's a lot to work through,
- 24:34and it can be heartbreaking to read through the intense
- 24:38judgements 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 and they don't want it.
- 24:49So the outcome is that there are judgments and consequences for
- 24:53those who've rejected the good news and the gift of salvation
- 24:57that's offered through Jesus's death and resurrection.
- 25:01Are you one who has heard about these things but doesn't really
- 25:05want it because you want to live life on your terms?
- 25:10Trust me, living for Jesus is so much better.
- 25:14That doesn't mean it will be easy.
- 25:16As you listen and read through Revelation with us, you'll come
- 25:20to a stark realization that you don't want to be on earth when
- 25:24the apocalypse happens. So check out Calvary Chapel
- 25:28online.com to learn how to come to a saving grace through faith
- 25:33that will allow you to be with Jesus for eternity.
