  - LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH,
• 0:13
  IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE READY
• 0:15
  TO LIFT UP THE NAME OF THE LORD?
• 0:21
  NOW I KNOW THERE IS A TENDENCY FOR US
• 0:23
  TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE THINGS OF LIFE AND YOU KNOW, IT'S
• 0:29
  BY THE GRACE OF GOD YOU MADE IT TO WEDNESDAY.
• 0:33
  SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO TONIGHT
• 0:36
  IS JUST PUT OUR FOCUS, DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING
• 0:41
  THAT'S GOING ON THIS WEEK, DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING
• 0:44
  THAT'S HAPPENING AT HOME, ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING
• 0:47
  AT WORK, BUT IF WE CAN JUST LIFT UP THE NAME OF JESUS.
• 0:56
  BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIFT UP THE NAME OF
• 0:59
  JESUS AND YOU MAGNIFY THE LORD, YOU COME TO REALIZE HOW
• 1:04
  SMALL AND INSIGNIFICANT ANYTHING THAT IS COMPARED TO HIM IS.
• 1:12
  SO LORD, WE LIFT UP OUR VOICE TO YOU.
• 1:17
  WE HONOR YOU, OH LORD.
• 1:24
  GOD BE MAGNIFIED.
• 1:32
  LORD BE MAGNIFIED.
• 1:39
  WHO CAN COMPARE TO YOU?
• 1:45
  THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU, OH GOD.
• 1:52
  AS WE LIFT UP THE NAME OF THE LORD,
• 1:56
  WE WATCH EVERY PROBLEM DIMINISH.
• 2:01
  WE WATCH EVERY SITUATION COME UNDER THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
• 2:09
  OH, NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU, OH LORD.
• 2:14
  NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU.
• 2:19
  OH, WE WORSHIP YOU.
• 2:22
  [MUSIC]
• 2:43
  THE SONG SIMPLY SAYS THIS.
• 2:47
  WHO IS LIKE THE LORD?
• 2:51
  MY STRENGTH AND SONG.
• 2:55
  THERE IS NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE.
• 3:04
  CAN YOU SING AND SAY WHO?
• 3:06
  WHO IS LIKE THE LORD?
• 3:10
  MY STRENGTH AND SONG.
• 3:14
  (PRAISE AND WORSHIP MUSIC)
• 5:51
  TO THE FEET OF JESUS.
• 5:53
  THERE'S NONE THAT COMPARES TO HIM.
• 5:55
  THERE'S NONE THAT IS HIGHER.
• 5:57
  (PRAISE AND WORSHIP MUSIC)
• 16:06
  WE WORSHIP YOU IN THIS PLACE.
• 16:08
  HALLELUJAH. LIFT YOUR HANDS AND
• 16:11
  SHOUT TO HIM TONIGHT.
• 16:12
  HALLELUJAH. GLORY TO THE MIGHTY GOD
• 16:16
  THAT CREATED US ALL.
• 16:18
  WE WORSHIP YOU IN THIS PLACE, LORD.
• 16:20
  WE GIVE YOU HONOR.
• 16:22
  WE GIVE YOU GLORY.
• 16:24
  OH, AWESOME CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.
• 16:28
  WE BOW DOWN TO YOU TONIGHT AND WORSHIP YOU FOR YOUR GOODNESS.
• 16:33
  OH, YOUR GLORY AND YOUR MAJESTY EVIDENT IN OUR LIVES.
• 16:39
  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FATHER, THAT YOU SENT JESUS CHRIST TO
• 16:43
  REDEEM US FROM THE CURSE OF SIN
• 16:47
  AND ALLOW US TO ENTER INTO THE GREAT COVENANT
• 16:51
  THAT YOU PURCHASED FOR US.
• 16:53
  WE'RE FOREVER GRATEFUL, HALLELUJAH.
• 16:56
  THANK YOU, JESUS, WE WORSHIP YOU TONIGHT, FATHER.
• 17:00
  GLORY TO YOUR NAME, GLORY TO YOUR NAME, HALLELUJAH.
• 17:04
  HALLELUJAH, THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 17:06
  OH, WE MAGNIFY YOU TONIGHT, FATHER, HALLELUJAH.
• 17:11
  THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 17:14
  BEFORE I STEPPED UP HERE, THE LORD SPOKE TO ME
• 17:18
  THE TERM WOUNDED SPIRIT.
• 17:24
  AND I KNOW THERE'S A SCRIPTURE, AND I THINK IT'S PROVERBS
• 17:26
  18 THAT TALKS ABOUT
• 17:29
  THE FACT THAT WHO CAN, HOW CAN THE HUMAN WITHSTAND
• 17:34
  A CRUSHED OR A BROKEN SPIRIT OR A WOUNDED SPIRIT
• 17:38
  IN SOME TRANSLATIONS, I BELIEVE.
• 17:39
  I THINK IT'S PROVERBS 18, 14, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
• 17:44
  AND YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT.
• 17:45
  WHAT DOES WOUNDED SPIRIT REALLY MEAN?
• 17:49
  I KNOW THAT THERE'S A SPIRIT BEHIND
• 17:53
  THE THINGS THAT THE DEVIL ATTACKS US WITH.
• 17:56
  IF WE HAVE ENVY IN OUR LIVES, MANY TIMES IT'S A SPIRIT
• 17:59
  OF ENVY THAT COMES IN.
• 18:04
  IF YOU HAVE HATRED IN YOUR LIFE, MANY TIMES IT'S A
• 18:08
  SPIRIT OF HATRED THAT HAS TO BE CAST
• 18:10
  OUT AND DEALT WITH.
• 18:14
  AND I BELIEVE THE WOUNDED SPIRIT IS A SPIRIT OF REJECTION.
• 18:18
  AND I REMEMBER I SAID, "LORD, HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT,"
• 18:22
  AND HE FLASHED IT BACK TO ME.
• 18:23
  I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, ABOUT 17 YEARS OLD,
• 18:27
  MAYBE 16, I CAN'T REMEMBER, I WAS TAKING A SPEECH CLASS.
• 18:31
  AND MAYBE I DID THE WRONG THING, BUT I TRIED TO SPEAK
• 18:35
  ON THE TRINITY.
• 18:38
  THE FIRST TIME THAT I WAS ASSIGNED TO GIVE A SPEECH
• 18:40
  IN FRONT OF MY CLASSMATES, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST.
• 18:44
  I REMEMBER THAT SPEECH.
• 18:46
  I WORKED HARD TO PREPARE IT.
• 18:47
  BUT I THINK I OFFENDED SOME SPIRITS IN THAT ROOM
• 18:54
  BECAUSE THAT TEACHER SAID, "I DON'T WANT YOU TO EVER BRING
• 18:59
  THAT BIBLE BACK IN MY CLASSROOM, AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO
• 19:01
  EVER SPEAK OF THE BIBLE AGAIN IN MY CLASS."
• 19:06
  AND AS I THOUGHT BACK ABOUT THAT, I THOUGHT,
• 19:09
  "THAT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT IT WAS A REJECTION OF
• 19:12
  THE GOSPEL, IT WASN'T ME, BUT I FELT I TOOK IT, AND IT
• 19:17
  HINDERED ME FOR A LONG TIME
• 19:19
  FROM DOING WHAT GOD, BECAUSE I HAD THAT,
• 19:22
  OH, I CAN'T DO THIS TYPE ATTITUDE.
• 19:25
  SO THERE'S SOMEONE HERE, MAYBE MORE THAN ONE OF YOU,
• 19:28
  AND YOU'RE DEALING WITH A SPIRIT OF REJECTION.
• 19:30
  IT MIGHT'VE BEEN FROM A FAMILY MEMBER,
• 19:32
  IT MIGHT'VE BEEN A SISTER OR A BROTHER,
• 19:34
  IT MIGHT'VE BEEN AN EMPLOYER, AND IT HAS WOUNDED YOU.
• 19:38
  AND I BELIEVE TONIGHT IS A NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE.
• 19:41
  THAT WOUNDED SPIRIT, WE'RE GONNA CALL IT
• 19:45
  OF NOT TO BE CAST OUT IN JESUS' NAME.
• 19:48
  SO RUN UP HERE IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING
• 19:52
  THAT WOULD CLICK IN YOU, THAT YOU SAY,
• 19:56
  I'VE DEALT WITH THAT, I'VE DEALT WITH REJECTION.
• 20:00
  SO MANY TIMES REJECTION CAN MOVE INTO OTHER THINGS
• 20:02
  LIKE LONELINESS, IT CAN MOVE INTO MISERY,
• 20:07
  IT CAN MOVE INTO DEPRESSION.
• 20:10
  AND WE'RE GONNA CAST THAT OUT TONIGHT
• 20:11
  AND BELIEVE YOU ARE DELIVERED AND FREE FROM WHATEVER
• 20:14
  REJECTION YOU HAVE SUFFERED.
• 20:16
  IS PASTOR ANTHONY HERE?
• 20:19
  IS HE STILL OUT HERE?
• 20:21
  PASTOR ANTHONY, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO PRAY FOR OUR ONLINE
• 20:23
  AUDIENCE AND JUST ADDRESS THAT SPIRIT OF REJECTION THAT THEY
• 20:29
  MIGHT BE RECEIVING TONIGHT.
• 20:31
  HALLELUJAH.
• 20:32
  (PRAYING IN TONGUES)
• 20:36
  HEAVENLY FATHER, WE LIFT UP YOUR NAME
• 20:38
  AS THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS,
• 20:41
  BUT ALSO THE ONE WHO BRINGS RECONCILIATION,
• 20:45
  RESTORATION, WHOLENESS, AND SOUNDNESS OF MIND.
• 20:49
  WE REBUKE EVERY FOUL SPIRIT AND DEVICE OF OFFENSE,
• 20:54
  BROKENHEARTEDNESS, BROKEN SPIRITNESS, REJECTION,
• 20:58
  AND WE DECLARE NOW THAT THE LOVE OF GOD THAT TRANSCENDS
• 21:04
  AND COVERS ALL THINGS SHALL BURST AND EMERGE
• 21:08
  THROUGH YOUR HEART AND THROUGH YOUR MIND,
• 21:10
  BRINGING FRESH REVELATION TO THE UNDERSTANDING
• 21:13
  OF WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST.
• 21:16
  EVERY CHAIN IS BROKEN.
• 21:18
  EVERY FALSE DECEITFUL LIE AND WORD
• 21:20
  THAT'S BEEN SPOKEN OVER YOU IS SHATTERED AND IS NO MORE.
• 21:24
  WE RELEASE THE WHOLENESS AND THE FULLNESS OF GOD
• 21:29
  IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME.
• 21:33
  - THANK YOU, MASTER ANTHONY.
• 21:35
  AMEN, PRAISE GOD.
• 21:36
  AND IF THAT'S YOU AT HOME AND YOU'VE BEEN DELIVERED
• 21:40
  FROM THAT SPIRIT, LET US KNOW.
• 21:43
  PUT IT DOWN IN THE COMMENTS, SEND US AN EMAIL
• 21:45
  SO THAT WE CAN REJOICE IN YOUR TESTIMONY TOO,
• 21:48
  IN JESUS' NAME.
• 21:49
  HALLELUJAH. THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 21:52
  JUST PRAY IN TONGUES FOR A MOMENT.
• 21:54
  (SPEAKING IN TONGUES)
• 22:08
  THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 22:09
  HALLELUJAH. THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 22:12
  HALLELUJAH. I'M RELEASED.
• 22:15
  I JUST SHAKE HANDS WITH SOMEONE TONIGHT AND SAY IT'S GOOD TO
• 22:18
  BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ON A WEDNESDAY EVENING.
• 22:20
  AND THANK YOU, ONLINE AUDIENCE, FOR JOINING US TONIGHT.
• 22:23
  (UPBEAT MUSIC)
• 23:01
  - HALLELUJAH.
• 23:09
  WELL, I'M GONNA START WITH OFFERING WITH THIS.
• 23:14
  I GOT REAL TECHIE.
• 23:20
  NO, NOT REALLY.
• 23:24
  ANYBODY THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS I'M NOT REAL TECHIE.
• 23:28
  BUT I DID LOOK OUT ONLINE AND I WAS CURIOUS.
• 23:32
  THE BENEFITS OF GIVING.
• 23:36
  AND I FOUND OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE ACTUALLY STUDIED
• 23:39
  SOME OF THESE THINGS.
• 23:41
  DID RESEARCH.
• 23:44
  AND I FOUND THESE SIX THINGS WERE LISTED.
• 23:50
  MAKE YOU HAPPIER.
• 23:53
  HMM.
• 23:57
  GENEROSITY AND GIVING.
• 24:02
  CAUSES YOU TO HAVE LESS STRESS.
• 24:07
  HMM.
• 24:11
  IT HELPS YOU STAY PHYSICALLY HEALTHY.
• 24:19
  GIVING AND GENEROSITY STRENGTHENS
• 24:23
  YOUR INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS.
• 24:32
  IT CAN HELP YOU LIVE LONGER.
• 24:40
  AND IT CAN ALSO DRAW YOU CLOSER TO JESUS.
• 24:49
  NOW, I WOULD SAY WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT'S GOOD, RIGHT?
• 24:57
  THAT'S GOOD.
• 24:59
  SAY THAT'S GOOD.
• 25:03
  SO NOW I'M GOING TO COME TO THE REALITY OF THE SCRIPTURES
• 25:09
  IN GALATIANS CHAPTER 6 VERSE 9.
• 25:14
  LET US NOT GROW WEARY IN WELL-DOING.
• 25:20
  REMEMBER MY DON'TS.
• 25:24
  DON'T BE A THIEF.
• 25:26
  DON'T BE STINGY.
• 25:29
  DON'T BE WEARY.
• 25:33
  DON'T GET WEARY.
• 25:37
  BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO, YOU LET GO OF THE GOOD.
• 25:42
  ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE GOOD.
• 25:44
  GENEROSITY IS GOOD.
• 25:46
  GIVING IS GOOD.
• 25:49
  AND WHEN WE LET GO OF THE CONCEPT OF GIVING IN OUR LIFE,
• 25:52
  AND WE DRAW BACK FROM THE GIVING HEART, WE DRAW BACK FROM
• 25:58
  THE GOOD.
• 26:00
  DON'T GET WEARY.
• 26:03
  I KNOW SOMETIMES IT'S AGAIN, DO
• 26:07
  I GIVE AGAIN?
• 26:09
  DO I GIVE AGAIN?
• 26:12
  DO I HAVE TO HAVE THAT ATTITUDE AGAIN?
• 26:17
  YES.
• 26:20
  AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 26:21
  IT'LL MAKE YOU HAPPIER.
• 26:23
  IT'LL MAKE YOU LIVE LONGER.
• 26:24
  IT'LL REDUCE THE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE.
• 26:29
  IT'S GOOD.
• 26:30
  IT'S GOOD.
• 26:32
  IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.
• 26:35
  BECAUSE WHY?
• 26:36
  WHY DOES IT ALL WORK THAT WAY?
• 26:38
  'CAUSE IT GETS YOU CLOSER TO JESUS
• 26:42
  AND YOU'RE MORE LIKE HIM.
• 26:45
  YOU'RE MORE LIKE THE FATHER.
• 26:47
  FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, HE GAVE.
• 26:51
  WHEN HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, HE GAVE ALL OF IT.
• 26:54
  HE GAVE EVERYTHING.
• 26:56
  HE GAVE HIMSELF.
• 26:58
  SO TAP INTO THAT AND DON'T LET YOUR HEART GET WEARY.
• 27:02
  DON'T LET YOUR LIFESTYLE GET WEARY.
• 27:04
  DON'T LET YOUR ATTITUDE GET WEARY OF AN ATTITUDE OF GIVING
• 27:11
  BECAUSE AS YOU DO THAT, THEN THE DEVIL WORKS TO BRING
• 27:17
  THE GOOD OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
• 27:21
  SO STAY WITH IT AND DON'T LET WEARINESS GET IN YOUR HEAD OR IN
• 27:27
  YOUR HEART OR IN YOUR ATTITUDE.
• 27:31
  CONTINUE TO BE A GIVER.
• 27:33
  IF THE USHERS, IF YOU NEED AN ENVELOPE, YOU
• 27:36
  CAN RECEIVE AN ENVELOPE.
• 27:38
  THEY'LL PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ONLINE.
• 27:41
  YOU CAN GIVE SO MANY WAYS.
• 27:45
  AND AS YOU DO, REMEMBER,
• 27:50
  THAT GENEROSITY, THAT ATTITUDE OF GENEROSITY
• 27:54
  AND THAT ATTITUDE OF GIVING IS DOING GOOD IN YOUR LIFE.
• 28:00
  GOD DOESN'T, GOD DOES IT SO HE
• 28:04
  CAN SEE GOOD IN US
• 28:08
  AND ACCOMPLISH GOOD FOR US, THROUGH US AND WITH US.
• 28:12
  LET'S PRAY.
• 28:14
  FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT AS EACH AND EVERYONE
• 28:18
  MAKES A DECISION TO MOVE FORWARD IN A GENEROUS HEART,
• 28:22
  WITH A GENEROUS ATTITUDE TO CONTINUE TO GIVE.
• 28:29
  FATHER GOD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU RESTORE THEIR STRENGTH,
• 28:33
  YOU RESTORE THEIR HEALTH, YOU RESTORE THEIR LIFE,
• 28:35
  YOU GIVE THEM HOPE, YOU GIVE THEM A VISION OF YOUR PRESENCE
• 28:38
  AND YOUR LOVE WORKING THROUGH THEM AND WITH THEM
• 28:41
  AND IN THEM, EVEN IN THEIR GIVING.
• 28:43
  AND WE GIVE YOU ALL THE PRAISE AND ALL THE HONOR.
• 28:46
  AND EVERYBODY SAID?
• 28:48
  AMEN. AMEN.
• 28:50
  YOU CAN RECEIVE THE OFFERING AS PASTOR DOUG COMES.
• 28:55
  AMEN. THANK YOU, PASTOR KEITH.
• 28:57
  HALLELUJAH. WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT
• 28:59
  IS TO GIVE TO GOD.
• 29:01
  IT BRINGS DIVINE PROTECTION OVER OUR LIFE, JANET.
• 29:06
  HALLELUJAH. AND WE NEED DIVINE
• 29:08
  PROTECTION IN THIS WORLD.
• 29:11
  HALLELUJAH. WELL, I'M CONVINCED THAT...
• 29:14
  I'M GOING TO JUST PLOW RIGHT IN TONIGHT AS THE
• 29:16
  USHERS ARE FINISHING BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT
• 29:18
  OF TERRITORY TO COVER.
• 29:21
  I'M CONVINCED THAT THE MORE I STUDY THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
• 29:24
  THAT AS CHRISTIANS, WE CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE LIVING
• 29:28
  OUT OUR LIVES ON THIS EARTH
• 29:31
  IF WE HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE FUTURE.
• 29:34
  AND KNOWING BIBLICAL TRUTH FOR GOD'S PLAN FOR MAN FOR THE AGES,
• 29:40
  WE KNOW LEARNING TRUTH ABOUT HEAVEN AND ABOUT HELL
• 29:44
  AND ABOUT THE TIMELINE OF FUTURE EVENTS LAID OUT IN SCRIPTURE.
• 29:49
  AND THEN UNDERSTANDING HOW GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE
• 29:51
  WORKS THROUGHOUT THAT TIMELINE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US.
• 29:56
  AND IT GIVES US HOPE, AND IT GIVES US A SENSE OF URGENCY
• 29:59
  TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE FOLLOWING
• 30:01
  GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR LIVES.
• 30:02
  SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO THAT.
• 30:04
  WE'VE COVERED A LOT OF TERRITORY ALREADY
• 30:06
  ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION, INCLUDING THE RAPTURE
• 30:10
  OF THE CHURCH, THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, THE
• 30:13
  SECOND COMING OF CHRIST, THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON,
• 30:16
  AND THERE AGAIN TALKED ABOUT GOD'S GRACE AND
• 30:19
  MERCY THROUGH THAT.
• 30:20
  AND LAST TIME THAT WE MET AND TALKED ABOUT REVELATION, I
• 30:24
  LOOKED IT UP, IT WAS MAY 20TH.
• 30:25
  I CAN'T BELIEVE TIME IS GOING TO FAST.
• 30:28
  BUT WE LOOKED AT SPECIFICALLY REVELATION CHAPTER 19 AND THE
• 30:32
  SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 30:36
  NOW, TONIGHT WE'RE MOVING ON INTO REVELATION CHAPTER 20 AND
• 30:39
  WE'LL BE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT THE 1,000-YEAR
• 30:43
  MILLENNIAL PERIOD, THE MILLENNIAL REIGN
• 30:46
  OF CHRIST ON THE EARTH.
• 30:51
  LIKE ON EARTH DURING THE MILLENNIAL PERIOD AND HOW WE
• 30:55
  WILL BE INVOLVED, EACH OF US.
• 30:58
  HOPEFULLY EACH ONE THAT'S HERE TONIGHT WILL BE THERE.
• 31:00
  BUT THAT'S YOUR DECISION.
• 31:03
  SO I WANT TO QUICKLY JUST DO A QUICK
• 31:06
  REVIEW OF OUR TIMELINE THAT I'VE USED BEFORE SO MANY TIMES, BUT
• 31:09
  I WANT TO BRING EVERYONE UP TO DATE ON THE TIMELINE, KIND OF
• 31:11
  WHERE WE'RE AT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE TALKED
• 31:14
  ABOUT THIS.
• 31:15
  SO AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE CHURCH AGE, WHICH
• 31:19
  IS DESCRIBED IN REVELATION 1 THROUGH 3.
• 31:21
  THAT'S WHERE THE SEVEN LETTERS TO THE SEVEN
• 31:24
  CHURCHES WERE WRITTEN.
• 31:25
  IT APPLIED TO THE TIME FRAME THAT
• 31:27
  WE'RE IN NOW.
• 31:28
  AND THEN THE NEXT EVENT ON THIS TIMELINE FROM
• 31:32
  REVELATION 4 AND 5 IS THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, AND THAT
• 31:35
  IS WHERE CHRIST COMES IN THE CLOUDS AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST
• 31:42
  WILL BE TRANSFORMED AT THAT TIME.
• 31:44
  THEIR BODIES ARE RENEWED WHEREVER THEIR REMAINS ARE.
• 31:48
  THEY'RE CAUGHT UP TO BE WITH THE LORD.
• 31:50
  AND THEN THOSE OF US THAT ARE ALIVE AT THAT TIME
• 31:53
  WHEN THE RAPTURE TAKES PLACE WILL BE CAUGHT UP AND
• 31:58
  PHYSICALLY OUR BODIES WILL GO UP WITH JESUS THAT TIME.
• 32:01
  AND THEN AT THAT TIME WHILE WE'RE IN HEAVEN ENJOYING,
• 32:05
  WELL THERE'S TWO THINGS THAT BASICALLY HAPPEN IN
• 32:07
  HEAVEN DURING THAT TIME.
• 32:08
  NUMBER ONE IS THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.
• 32:10
  WE'RE NOT JUDGED ON THE BASIS OF
• 32:13
  WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE SAVED.
• 32:14
  WE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE IN THE
• 32:15
  RAPTURE HAD WE NOT MADE THAT JUDGMENT.
• 32:18
  SO WE JUDGED OURSELVES, MAKE SURE WE'RE
• 32:20
  SAVED AND READY, AND WHEN WE GET THERE, WE'RE JUDGED ON OUR
• 32:23
  WORKS. WHAT DID WE ACCOMPLISH AS FAR AS GOD'S PLAN ON THE
• 32:27
  EARTH? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE JUDGED AND REWARDED FOR.
• 32:31
  SO IT'S A REWARD TIME.
• 32:32
  AND THEN ALSO THE OTHER THING THAT TAKES PLACE
• 32:34
  DURING THAT TIME IS THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB.
• 32:36
  WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT.
• 32:37
  THAT'LL BE THE GREATEST SUPPER IN HISTORY WHEN CHRISTIANS
• 32:41
  ALL COME TOGETHER AND HONOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND GOD
• 32:44
  THE FATHER AT THAT GREAT FEAST.
• 32:47
  SO THAT HAPPENS, AND WHILE THAT'S HAPPENING,
• 32:49
  THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION IS TAKING PLACE ON THE EARTH.
• 32:52
  THAT'S REVELATION 6 THROUGH 18, THE MAJORITY OF THE
• 32:55
  BOOK OF REVELATION TALKS ABOUT THAT TIME FRAME,
• 32:58
  THAT SEVEN-YEAR PERIOD.
• 32:59
  IT'S DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS.
• 33:01
  THE FIRST THREE AND A HALF YEARS ARE A TIME OF RELATIVE
• 33:03
  PEACE AND PROSPERITY, AND THEN THE LAST
• 33:06
  THREE AND A HALF YEARS, I'M JUST GONNA SAY IT,
• 33:09
  ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE ON EARTH AT THAT TIME.
• 33:12
  BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, THERE IS A GREAT REVIVAL
• 33:15
  THAT TAKES PLACE DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME
• 33:17
  BECAUSE GOD HAS A MAGNIFICENT PLAN.
• 33:21
  THERE'S 144,000 JEWISH EVANGELISTS
• 33:24
  THAT COVER THE EARTH.
• 33:25
  144,000 BILLY GRAHAM'S ARE GONNA BE CIRCULATING
• 33:28
  THROUGH THE EARTH DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME
• 33:30
  WHILE THE TRIBULATION IS GOING ON.
• 33:32
  THERE'S ALSO TWO WITNESSES THAT WILL BE IN ISRAEL, AND YOU'LL
• 33:37
  SEE THEM ACTIVE BROADCAST THROUGH THE WHOLE WORLD.
• 33:42
  AND THEY HAVE A MINISTRY THERE OF PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL.
• 33:46
  AND THEN FINALLY, THERE'S AN ANGEL THAT FLIES AROUND THE
• 33:50
  WORLD AND ACTUALLY PROCLAIMS THE GOSPEL TO THE LOST.
• 33:54
  SO PEOPLE HAVE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO HEAR THE
• 33:57
  GOSPEL, EVEN IF THEY MISS THE RAPTURE AND ARE PART OF GOING
• 34:01
  THROUGH AND ENDURING THE TRIBULATION.
• 34:03
  SO THAT HAPPENS VERSUS, OR EXCUSE ME, REVELATION 6 THROUGH
• 34:06
  18. AND THEN LAST TIME WE MET
• 34:08
  ON MAY 20TH, WE TALKED ABOUT REVELATION 19,
• 34:11
  THE SECOND COMING.
• 34:12
  AND THAT'S WHERE THOSE OF US THAT ARE IN HEAVEN DURING THAT
• 34:16
  TRIBULATION TIME, WE COME BACK WITH JESUS.
• 34:19
  HE'S RIDING A WHITE HORSE.
• 34:20
  WE'LL ALL HAVE OUR WHITE HORSES RIDING WITH HIM,
• 34:23
  AND THAT'S WHEN HE FACES THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON,
• 34:27
  AND HIS ENEMIES ARE QUICKLY DESTROYED.
• 34:29
  AND THEN WE MOVE INTO THE THOUSAND-YEAR MILLENNIAL REIGN
• 34:33
  THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT,
• 34:34
  AND THAT'S REVELATION 20.
• 34:36
  SO JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU A QUICK IDEA
• 34:38
  OF WHERE WE'RE GOING, THAT WOULD BE THE TIMELINE.
• 34:44
  AND THEN AS WE MOVE INTO REVELATION 20,
• 34:46
  I WANTED TO JUST PREVIEW SOME OF THE ASPECTS
• 34:49
  OF THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT TONIGHT,
• 34:51
  JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE PREVIEW
• 34:53
  SO YOU'LL KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING BEFORE WE START.
• 34:55
  IF YOU'LL PUT THAT SLIDE UP OF LIFE ON EARTH
• 34:59
  DURING THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM, NUMBER ONE, WE'RE GONNA
• 35:01
  SEE THAT SATAN IS BOUND FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
• 35:04
  DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME, ACCORDING TO
• 35:05
  REVELATION 1 THROUGH 3.
• 35:07
  THAT'S AN EXCITING PART OF THE MILLENNIAL REIGN.
• 35:10
  NUMBER TWO, JESUS WILL RULE FROM JERUSALEM
• 35:13
  AND WE THE CHRISTIANS, AND THERE'LL BE A FEW OTHERS
• 35:16
  THAT I'LL EXPLAIN WHO THEY ARE, TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS,
• 35:18
  THAT WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH JESUS DURING THAT TIME.
• 35:22
  AND THEN THERE'S A JUDGMENT OF TRIBULATION SURVIVORS
• 35:25
  THAT HAPPENS THEN.
• 35:26
  THERE'S A TIME OF PEACE AND JOY ALL THROUGH THE MILLENNIUM.
• 35:29
  IT'S A TIME OF LONGEVITY AND ANIMALS WILL BE TAMED.
• 35:32
  SO I'LL EXPLAIN ALL THAT DETAIL AS WE GO TONIGHT,
• 35:35
  BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF GIVE YOU
• 35:37
  A LITTLE PREVIEW THERE.
• 35:39
  LET'S START BY GOING RIGHT TO REVELATION 20,
• 35:41
  VERSES ONE THROUGH THREE.
• 35:43
  AND I'M GONNA READ THAT TONIGHT OUT OF THE NEW
• 35:45
  KING JAMES VERSION, AND WE'LL START WITH THIS.
• 35:48
  AND IT SAYS, "THEN I SAW AN ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
• 35:51
  "HAVING THE KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT
• 35:54
  "AND A GREAT CHAIN IN HIS HAND.
• 35:57
  "HE LAID HOLD OF THE DRAGON, THAT SERPENT OF OLD,
• 36:00
  "WHO IS THE DEVIL AND SATAN, "AND BOUND HIM FOR
• 36:02
  A THOUSAND YEARS."
• 36:03
  HALLELUJAH. "AND HE CAST HIM INTO
• 36:06
  THE BOTTOMLESS PIT "AND SHUT HIM UP AND
• 36:08
  SET A SEAL ON HIM "THAT HE SHOULD DECEIVE
• 36:12
  THE NATIONS NO MORE "TILL THE THOUSAND
• 36:15
  YEARS WERE FINISHED.
• 36:16
  "BUT AFTER THESE THINGS, "HE MUST BE RELEASED
• 36:18
  FOR A LITTLE WHILE."
• 36:20
  THAT IS REVELATION 20, VERSES ONE THROUGH THREE.
• 36:26
  SO AS WE LOOK AT THAT, WE CAN SEE THAT JOHN
• 36:30
  HAS A VISION OF AN ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
• 36:34
  IT'S NOT JESUS, IT'S AN ANGEL.
• 36:36
  AND HE HAS TWO THINGS IN HIS HANDS.
• 36:38
  ONE IS A GREAT CHAIN AND THE OTHER THING
• 36:42
  THAT HE HAS IS A KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
• 36:45
  AND THIS ANGEL HAS BEEN GIVEN AUTHORITY
• 36:47
  BY JESUS TO BIND SATAN.
• 36:50
  VERSE 2 TELLS US THAT THE ANGEL SEIZES THE DRAGON AND
• 36:54
  BINDS HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 36:56
  REVELATION 22, I'M GOING TO REPEAT SOME THINGS TONIGHT
• 36:59
  BECAUSE I WANT THIS TO COME IN TO YOUR SPIRITS.
• 37:02
  HE LAID HOLD OF THE DRAGON, THAT SERPENT OF
• 37:04
  OLD, WHO IS THE DEVIL AND SATAN, AND BOUND HIM FOR A
• 37:07
  THOUSAND YEARS.
• 37:09
  SO NOW WE SEE DIFFERENT TERMS HERE.
• 37:11
  JOHN WANTS YOU TO REALLY KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS
• 37:14
  THAT GETS BOUND FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 37:17
  HE CALLS HIM THE DRAGON, HE CALLS
• 37:19
  HIM THE OLD SERPENT, HE CALLS HIM THE DEVIL, AND FINALLY CALLS
• 37:22
  HIM SATAN.
• 37:23
  FOUR DESCRIPTIVE TERMS FOR THE SAME PERSON,
• 37:26
  THE DEVIL.
• 37:27
  THE DRAGON IS THE NAME BY WHICH SATAN IS KNOWN
• 37:30
  IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
• 37:31
  THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU SEE DRAGON
• 37:32
  USED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS REVELATION 12 VERSE 9.
• 37:36
  AND I THINK IT'S LIKE 13 TIMES
• 37:38
  AFTERWARDS THE DRAGON IS USED TO SYMBOLIZE SATAN.
• 37:43
  AND THEN NUMBER TWO, THE SERPENT
• 37:45
  OF OLD IS A REFERENCE BACK TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS
• 37:51
  CHAPTER 3.
• 37:52
  AND THE FIRST TIME WE'RE INTRODUCED TO
• 37:54
  SATAN IN THE BIBLE, HE APPEARS AS A SERPENT IN
• 37:57
  THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
• 37:58
  THE OLD SERPENT IS THE ONE THAT
• 38:00
  CONVINCES EVE THAT SHE WILL NOT DIE IF SHE EATS THE
• 38:04
  FRUIT, AND THEN ADAM, OF COURSE, GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH EVE
• 38:08
  AND JOINS IN, DOESN'T INTERVENE, AND THEY BOTH SIN.
• 38:12
  SO BOTH ADAM AND EVE END UP BELIEVING THE LIE
• 38:14
  THAT GOD IS DEPRIVING THEM FROM SOMETHING,
• 38:17
  AND IF THEY WOULD JUST EAT THAT FRUIT
• 38:19
  THAT GOD TOLD THEM NOT TO EAT, THEIR EYES WOULD BE OPEN
• 38:23
  AND THEY WOULD BE AS WISE AS GOD.
• 38:24
  THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DECEIVED INTO BELIEVING.
• 38:27
  SO THE SERPENT OF OLD IS A DESCRIPTION OF SATAN.
• 38:30
  AND THEN NUMBER THREE, DEVIL.
• 38:32
  THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE PROBABLY MOST FAMILIAR WITH.
• 38:34
  THE WORD DEVIL IN THE GREEK IS DIABOLOS.
• 38:37
  IT MEANS DIABOLIC AND INHERENTLY EVIL, AND HE IS.
• 38:42
  AND THEN THE FINAL DESCRIPTIVE NAME
• 38:44
  THAT JOHN GIVES IS THE TERM SATAN.
• 38:46
  IN HEBREW, THE TERM SATAN MEANS ADVERSARY OR ACCUSER.
• 38:52
  SO VERSE THREE TELLS US THE DEVIL'S BOUND UP
• 38:55
  IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
• 38:58
  DURING THIS MILLENNIAL REIGN.
• 39:00
  AND YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, HOW CAN AN ANGEL OR A SPIRIT
• 39:04
  BE BOUND BY A LITERAL CHAIN AND BE CAST INTO A MATERIAL
• 39:09
  PLACE LIKE A BOTTOMLESS PIT?
• 39:12
  BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT SCRIPTURE, IT DOES MAKE SENSE
• 39:15
  BECAUSE SCRIPTURE INTERPRETS SCRIPTURE.
• 39:18
  AND WE SEE THAT ANGELS HAVE BODIES
• 39:20
  AND THEY CAN BE CONFINED TO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS.
• 39:24
  AND I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO ALL THE DETAIL ON THIS,
• 39:26
  BUT IF YOU'RE TAKING NOTES TONIGHT,
• 39:28
  YOU CAN STUDY THIS AT HOME.
• 39:29
  BUT 2 PETER 2.4, I'LL JUST READ IT QUICKLY, SAYS,
• 39:33
  IF GOD DID NOT SPARE ANGELS WHO SINNED
• 39:35
  BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL AND DELIVERED THEM
• 39:37
  INTO CHAINS OF DARKNESS TO BE RESERVED FOR JUDGMENT,
• 39:40
  SO THEY WERE CHAINED THERE.
• 39:42
  AND THEN JUDE 6.7 SAYS, AND I REMIND YOU OF THE ANGELS
• 39:45
  WHO DID NOT STAY WITH THE LIMITS OF AUTHORITY.
• 39:48
  GOD GAVE THEM BUT LEFT THE PLACE WHERE THEY BELONGED.
• 39:51
  GOD HAS KEPT THEM SECURELY CHAINED IN PRISONS OF DARKNESS
• 39:55
  WAITING FOR THE GREAT DAY OF JUDGMENT.
• 39:56
  SO THERE'S SEVERAL INSTANCES IN SCRIPTURE
• 39:59
  WHERE WE SEE ANGELS THAT WERE BOUND OR CHAINED.
• 40:03
  WELL, NEXT WEEK, I BELIEVE IT'S NEXT WEDNESDAY,
• 40:06
  WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT,
• 40:09
  WHICH IS THE END OF REVELATION CHAPTER 20.
• 40:11
  AND THEN WE FIND OUT THAT ALL WICKED MEN, DEMONS,
• 40:15
  FALLEN ANGELS, AND REBELLIOUS CREATURES OF ALL KINDS
• 40:19
  ARE CONFINED TO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOREVER.
• 40:23
  SO THEY'RE LOCKED INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE FOREVER.
• 40:26
  IT'S NOT A GOOD THING.
• 40:27
  REVELATION 20, 15 SAYS ANYONE WHOSE NAME WAS NOT FOUND
• 40:30
  AND RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS THROWN INTO
• 40:33
  THE LAKE OF FIRE.
• 40:34
  THAT'S FOR ETERNITY.
• 40:38
  BUT LET'S MOVE ON AND CONTINUE TO REREAD VERSE THREE.
• 40:43
  REVELATION 20, VERSE THREE, "AND HE CAST HIM INTO THE
• 40:47
  BOTTOMLESS PIT AND SHUT HIM UP "AND SET A SEAL ON HIM
• 40:50
  SO THAT HE SHOULD DECEIVE "THE NATIONS NO MORE,"
• 40:52
  TALKING ABOUT SATAN AGAIN, "UNTIL THE THOUSAND
• 40:55
  YEARS WERE FINISHED.
• 40:56
  "BUT AFTER THESE THINGS, HE MUST BE RELEASED
• 40:58
  "FOR A LITTLE WHILE."
• 41:00
  NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T EVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT VERSE MUCH,
• 41:05
  YOU MIGHT BE ASKING AT THIS POINT, "WHY?"
• 41:08
  WHY, IF SATAN IS BOUND FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
• 41:11
  HE'S WRAPPED IN CHAINS, HE'S IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT,
• 41:15
  AND GOD HAS EVEN SEALED HIM SO THAT HE STAYS THERE,
• 41:18
  IT'S LIKE, WHY IS HE GONNA GET RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME?
• 41:22
  JESUS, WHY WOULD YOU RELEASE HIM?
• 41:25
  WE GOT HIM PENNED UP FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
• 41:27
  JUST KEEP HIM THERE.
• 41:28
  KIND OF MAKES ME THINK OF, I LIKE TO WATCH THE OLD
• 41:31
  BLACK AND WHITE WESTERNS AND YOU SEE THE SHERIFF GET
• 41:35
  THE THIEVES OR THE ROBBERS IN JAIL AND CAPTURED AND
• 41:38
  THEN FOR SOME STUPID REASON, THE SHERIFF MAKES A
• 41:42
  MISTAKE AND DELIVERS FOOD TO THESE PRISONERS
• 41:44
  AND THEY OVERCOME HIM AND LOCK THE SHERIFF
• 41:48
  UP AND TAKE THE KEYS AND THEY GO OFF AND DO
• 41:51
  THEIR NEXT EVIL THING.
• 41:55
  SO, WHY DOES SATAN GET RELEASED?
• 41:58
  WELL, BEFORE I ANSWER THIS QUESTION,
• 42:00
  WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GOING TONIGHT,
• 42:01
  BUT I WILL COME BACK TO THAT.
• 42:03
  LET YOU THINK ON THAT ONE FOR A MINUTE.
• 42:06
  REVELATION CHAPTER 20, VERSES 4 THROUGH 6.
• 42:09
  LET'S GO AHEAD AND READ 4 THROUGH 6.
• 42:11
  "AND I SAW THRONES, AND THEY SAT ON THEM,
• 42:14
  AND JUDGMENT WAS COMMITTED TO THEM.
• 42:16
  THEN I SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE THAT HAD BEEN BEHEADED FOR
• 42:18
  THEIR WITNESS TO JESUS AND FOR THE WORD OF GOD, WHO HAD NOT
• 42:21
  WORSHIPPED THE BEAST OR HIS IMAGE, AND HAD NOT RECEIVED THE
• 42:25
  MARK ON THEIR FOREHEADS OR IN THEIR HANDS.
• 42:27
  AND THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 42:32
  BUT THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT LIVE AGAIN TILL THE
• 42:34
  THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED.
• 42:36
  THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
• 42:40
  "BLESSED AND HOLY IS HE WHO HAS PART IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
• 42:43
  OVER SUCH THE SECOND DEATH HAS NO POWER,
• 42:45
  BUT THEY SHALL BE PRIESTS OF GOD AND OF CHRIST
• 42:49
  AND SHALL REIGN WITH HIM A THOUSAND YEARS."
• 42:51
  SO IN VERSE FOUR, WE READ THAT JOHN NOW SEES THRONES
• 42:55
  IN HEAVEN AND HE SEES WHO SAT ON THEM.
• 42:59
  VERSE FOUR SAYS, "I SAW THRONES AND THEY SAT ON THEM
• 43:03
  AND JUDGMENT WAS COMMITTED TO THEM."
• 43:05
  THAT GIVES A KEY TO WHO'S SITTING ON THESE THRONES.
• 43:09
  THE VERSE TELLS US THAT JUDGMENT WAS COMMITTED
• 43:12
  TO THESE INDIVIDUALS.
• 43:13
  THAT GIVES US SOME INSIGHT HERE BECAUSE IN 1
• 43:15
  CORINTHIANS 6 AND VERSE 2, WE SEE THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS,
• 43:20
  "DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT THE SAINTS WILL JUDGE THE WORLD?
• 43:25
  AND IF THE WORLD WILL BE JUDGED BY YOU, ARE YOU UNWORTHY TO
• 43:28
  JUDGE THE SMALLEST MATTERS?"
• 43:29
  SO PAUL IS TELLING US THAT THE SAINTS WILL JUDGE THE WORLD.
• 43:34
  GOD WILL USE BELIEVERS IN THAT DAY TO HELP HIM RULE AND REIGN
• 43:38
  AND TO JUDGE THE WORLD AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION
• 43:41
  AS WE COME INTO THIS MILLENNIAL KINGDOM TIME.
• 43:44
  PAUL TELLS US THAT IT'LL BE SAINTS, IT'LL BE CHRISTIANS,
• 43:47
  IT'LL BE BELIEVERS WHO JUDGE THE WORLD
• 43:49
  UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST.
• 43:53
  THE SAINTS DESCRIBED HERE ARE BELIEVERS
• 43:55
  THAT HAVE ALREADY GONE TO HEAVEN.
• 43:57
  THEY'VE DIED OR THEY WERE RAPTURED
• 43:58
  BEFORE THE TRIBULATION.
• 44:00
  THEY'VE RETURNED WITH JESUS AT THE SECOND COMING
• 44:03
  AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE RULING AND REIGNING
• 44:05
  FOR THIS THOUSAND YEAR MILLENNIAL REIGN TIME FRAME.
• 44:09
  AND THAT'S THE FIRST GROUP THAT JOHN SEES IN REVELATION 24,
• 44:13
  BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO A SECOND GROUP.
• 44:15
  LET'S CONTINUE READING REVELATION 20, CHAPTER
• 44:18
  20, VERSE FOUR AGAIN.
• 44:20
  "AND I SAW THRONES AND THEY SAT ON THEM
• 44:22
  "AND JUDGMENT WAS COMMITTED TO THEM.
• 44:23
  "AND THEN I SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE THAT HAD BEEN BEHEADED
• 44:25
  "FOR THEIR WITNESS TO JESUS AND THE WORD OF GOD.
• 44:28
  "AND THESE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE NOT WORSHIPED THE BEAST,
• 44:31
  "HIS IMAGE, OR RECEIVED THE MARK "IN THE FOREHEADS
• 44:33
  OF THEIR HANDS.
• 44:34
  "AND THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS."
• 44:37
  SO THIS SECOND GROUP THAT JOHN SEES ARE ALSO BELIEVERS,
• 44:40
  BUT HE DISTINGUISHES THEM FROM THOSE
• 44:43
  THAT DIED BEFORE THE TRIBULATION.
• 44:45
  THESE ARE THE SAINTS THAT WERE MARTYRED FOR THEIR FAITH,
• 44:48
  THIS SECOND GROUP.
• 44:50
  THEY WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.
• 44:52
  THEY DID NOT DENY THEIR TESTIMONY OR THEIR WITNESS
• 44:56
  FOR JESUS DURING THIS TIME OF THE TRIBULATION.
• 44:59
  THEY DIDN'T WORSHIP THE BEAST, WHICH IS THE ANTICHRIST.
• 45:02
  THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE THE MARK, THE 666 MARK,
• 45:05
  ON THEIR FOREHEAD OR IN THEIR HANDS.
• 45:08
  AND NOW THESE MARTYRS ARE ALSO GOING TO BE RULING
• 45:12
  AND REIGNING WITH JESUS AND US DURING THIS THOUSAND
• 45:15
  YEAR MILLENNIAL REIGN.
• 45:17
  WE LOOKED AT THIS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO,
• 45:19
  BUT I'M GONNA GO BACK TO REVELATION 5, VERSE 9 AND 10.
• 45:24
  IT ALSO DESCRIBES THESE MARTYRS IN THESE VERSES.
• 45:27
  IT SAYS, REVELATION 5, 9 AND 10, "AND THEY SANG A
• 45:30
  NEW SONG, SAYING, "'YOU ARE WORTHY TO TAKE THE
• 45:33
  SCROLL AND TO OPEN ITS SEALS, "'FOR YOU WERE SLAIN, AND
• 45:36
  YOU HAVE REDEEMED US TO GOD "'BY YOUR BLOOD OUT OF
• 45:40
  EVERY TRIBE AND TONGUE "AND PEOPLE AND NATION,
• 45:44
  "AND HAVE MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS TO OUR GOD,
• 45:47
  "AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."
• 45:50
  SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS SIMILAR LANGUAGE
• 45:53
  TO WHAT WE JUST READ IN REVELATION 20, VERSE SIX,
• 45:56
  TELLING US THAT THE SECOND DEATH HAS NO POWER
• 45:59
  OVER THESE SAINTS, AND THEY WILL BE PRIESTS OF GOD
• 46:03
  AND REIGN FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 46:06
  REVELATION 26, "BLESSED AND HOLY IS HE
• 46:08
  "WHO HAS PART IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION.
• 46:11
  "OVER SUCH, THE SECOND DEATH HAS NO POWER,
• 46:14
  "BUT THEY SHALL BE PRIESTS OF GOD AND OF CHRIST
• 46:16
  "AND SHALL REIGN WITH HIM A THOUSAND YEARS."
• 46:19
  OKAY, EVERYONE FOLLOWING ME NOW, THOSE TWO GROUPS THAT ARE
• 46:22
  RULING AND REIGNING WITH JESUS.
• 46:25
  SO WHAT DO WE DO IN CHRIST'S GOVERNMENT
• 46:28
  DURING THESE THOUSAND YEARS?
• 46:30
  AND MY ANSWER TO THAT IS, FRANKLY, I DO NOT KNOW.
• 46:34
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 46:36
  BEING HONEST WITH YOU.
• 46:37
  BUT I DO KNOW THIS, IN SCRIPTURE,
• 46:39
  THERE SEEMS TO BE A RELATIONSHIP
• 46:41
  BETWEEN A PERSON'S FAITHFULNESS IN THIS AGE
• 46:45
  THAT WE'RE NOW LIVING IN, AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE
• 46:50
  OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE GONNA BE GIVEN TO
• 46:52
  US DURING THIS FUTURE TIME THAT WE'RE RULING AND REIGNING.
• 46:58
  THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS IN MATTHEW 25, 14 THROUGH 30
• 47:01
  INDICATES THAT JESUS WILL REWARD US WITH RESPONSIBILITIES
• 47:05
  BASED ON OUR FAITHFULNESS TO HIM DURING OUR TIME ON EARTH.
• 47:10
  SO I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ANSWER TO IT.
• 47:12
  BUT PEOPLE THAT WERE FAITHFUL TO GOD,
• 47:16
  DID WHAT THEY WERE CALLED TO DO WHILE THEY WERE ON EARTH,
• 47:19
  WILL POSSIBLY HAVE, I CAN'T MAKE A DOCTRINE OUT OF THIS,
• 47:22
  BUT THEY'LL POSSIBLY, IT SEEMS LIKE,
• 47:24
  HAVE MORE RESPONSIBILITY DURING THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
• 47:27
  THAN LIKE SOMEONE THAT MAYBE SAID A PRAYER OF SALVATION,
• 47:32
  CONFESSED JESUS ON THEIR DEATHBED, NEVER
• 47:33
  LIVED FOR CHRIST, YOU KNOW, DIDN'T FOLLOW GOD'S
• 47:36
  ACTUAL PLAN FOR THEIR LIFE, BUT THEY BECAME A BELIEVER
• 47:39
  AT THE LAST MOMENT.
• 47:40
  SOMEONE LIKE THAT POSSIBLY WILL NOT HAVE
• 47:43
  AS MUCH ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY IN THE MILLENNIUM
• 47:46
  THAN SOMEONE THAT HAD SERVED GOD ALL THEIR LIFE
• 47:48
  AND BEEN FAITHFUL TO HIS PLAN.
• 47:50
  THAT'S WHAT IT APPEARS LIKE.
• 47:51
  BUT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN WE
• 47:55
  GO INTO THAT 1,000-YEAR PERIOD, THERE WILL BE SURVIVORS.
• 47:58
  THERE WILL BE HUMAN BEINGS LIVING ON EARTH
• 48:00
  WHO COME THROUGH THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, WHO WILL THEN
• 48:04
  BE LIVING DURING THIS MILLENNIAL PERIOD OF TIME.
• 48:07
  AND LIFE IS GOING TO JUST GO ON LIKE USUAL.
• 48:10
  THERE'LL BE TWO GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING ON EARTH
• 48:13
  DURING THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM.
• 48:15
  LET'S PUT THAT SLIDE UP.
• 48:16
  THE TWO CLASSIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS
• 48:18
  DURING THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM.
• 48:19
  NUMBER ONE, THE SAINTS WHO COME BACK WITH JESUS
• 48:21
  AT THE SECOND COMING IN OUR GLORIFIED BODIES.
• 48:23
  THAT'S US, ALL THE REDEEMED THAT HAVE GONE TO HEAVEN,
• 48:27
  COME BACK WITH JESUS AT THE SECOND COMING.
• 48:29
  THAT'S THE FIRST GROUP.
• 48:30
  NUMBER TWO, THEY'LL BE RIGHTEOUS SURVIVORS OF THE TRIBULATION.
• 48:33
  THESE ARE NATURAL HUMAN BEINGS, NEVER HAD GLORIFIED BODIES.
• 48:37
  THEY'RE JUST LIKE YOU AND I ARE TODAY,
• 48:39
  AND THEY WILL ALSO GO INTO THAT MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
• 48:42
  PERIOD OF TIME.
• 48:45
  LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS A LITTLE BETTER.
• 48:47
  IN VERSE 6, WE SEE THAT JESUS WILL RULE FROM JERUSALEM AND
• 48:52
  CHRISTIANS WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH HIM.
• 48:54
  AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD, THERE'LL BE A JUDGMENT
• 48:57
  OF THE TRIBULATION SURVIVORS.
• 48:59
  EVERYBODY WHO SURVIVES THE TRIBULATION IS NOT
• 49:03
  NECESSARILY RIGHT WITH GOD.
• 49:05
  JUST BECAUSE THEY SOMEHOW MADE IT THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT
• 49:07
  GOES ON IN THE TRIBULATION DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY ARE
• 49:11
  SAVED AND HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR.
• 49:15
  THERE'S GOING TO BE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
• 49:17
  THAT HAVE REJECTED CHRIST, BUT THEY SURVIVE
• 49:21
  THE TRIBULATION.
• 49:22
  AND AT THAT POINT, THERE'S GOING TO BE A JUDGMENT OF THOSE
• 49:25
  THAT SURVIVE THE TRIBULATION, BOTH BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS.
• 49:30
  THIS IS A JUDGMENT OF TRIBULATION SURVIVORS.
• 49:33
  JESUS DESCRIBES THIS IN MATTHEW 25 VERSES 31 THROUGH 34.
• 49:37
  LET ME READ THAT TO YOU.
• 49:38
  IT SAYS, "BUT WHEN THE SON OF MAN COMES IN HIS GLORY
• 49:41
  "AND ALL THE ANGELS WITH HIM, "THEN HE WILL SIT UPON
• 49:44
  HIS GLORIOUS THRONE.
• 49:46
  "ALL NATIONS WILL BE GATHERED IN HIS PRESENCE,
• 49:48
  "AND HE WILL SEPARATE THE PEOPLE "AS A SHEPHERD SEPARATES
• 49:52
  THE SHEEP FROM THE GOATS.
• 49:54
  "HE WILL PLACE THE SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT HAND
• 49:57
  AND THE GOATS ON HIS LEFT HAND.
• 49:59
  THEN THE KING WILL SAY TO THOSE ON HIS RIGHT HAND,
• 50:01
  'COME, YOU WHO ARE BLESSED BY MY FATHER,
• 50:03
  INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU
• 50:05
  FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD.'"
• 50:08
  HALLELUJAH. SO, IF YOU MOVE DOWN THEN
• 50:11
  TO VERSE 41, MATTHEW 25, IT SAYS, "THEN THE KING WILL
• 50:16
  TURN TO THOSE ON THE LEFT AND SAY, 'AWAY WITH
• 50:18
  YOU, YOU CURSED ONES.'"
• 50:20
  THOSE WOULD BE THE GOATS.
• 50:21
  INTO THE ETERNAL FIRE PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS.
• 50:28
  SO JESUS DESCRIBES THE SHEEP AS BEING THE RIGHTEOUS
• 50:31
  ON THE RIGHT HAND, THE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST.
• 50:34
  THOSE ARE REWARDED AND THEY INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
• 50:37
  THE GOATS ARE THE WICKED ONES THAT HAVE REJECTED JESUS
• 50:40
  AND FAILED TO PRODUCE THE FRUITS OF FAITH.
• 50:42
  SO FROM THESE SCRIPTURES AND THERE'S OTHERS
• 50:44
  THAT I'M NOT GONNA GET INTO TONIGHT,
• 50:46
  WE CAN CONCLUDE SCRIPTURALLY THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS
• 50:48
  THAT ARE GOING INTO THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM
• 50:50
  WILL BE THE RIGHTEOUS AND GLORIFIED BODIES,
• 50:52
  US THAT CAME BACK WITH JESUS, AND THEN THOSE NATURAL
• 50:56
  HUMANS THAT ARE BELIEVERS
• 50:58
  THAT CHRIST REFERS TO AS SHEEP.
• 51:01
  SO EVERYONE THAT GOES INTO THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM,
• 51:03
  THAT THOUSAND YEAR PERIOD OF TIME,
• 51:05
  INITIALLY ARE GONNA BE SAVED RIGHTEOUS BELIEVERS.
• 51:10
  EVERYONE WITH ME ON THAT?
• 51:11
  OKAY, SO LET'S MOVE ON.
• 51:14
  THIS IS A TIME OF GREAT PEACE ON EARTH
• 51:16
  AND THE INHABITANTS WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE JOBS.
• 51:18
  MOST LIKELY THEY'LL BE GOING TO SCHOOL, THEY GET MARRIED,
• 51:21
  THEY HAVE FAMILIES, THEY HAVE BUSINESSES.
• 51:24
  IT'S LIFE LIKE WE HAVE NOW, BUT THERE'LL BE A BIG DIFFERENCE
• 51:28
  THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A MINUTE.
• 51:29
  THEY'LL PROBABLY EVEN BE DRIVING CARS THEN,
• 51:32
  OR MAYBE THEY'LL BE FLYING CARS BY THEN, I DON'T KNOW.
• 51:34
  BUT LIFE WILL HAPPEN VERY MUCH LIKE IT DOES NOW
• 51:37
  IN THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM WITH THE NATURAL PEOPLE THAT GO IN.
• 51:40
  THESE NATURAL BELIEVERS THAT ARE THERE
• 51:42
  ARE GONNA CARRY ON JUST LIKE WE DO ON THIS EARTH.
• 51:46
  BUT THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THIS.
• 51:48
  THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THERE'LL BE NO POLITICAL POWERS
• 51:50
  DURING THAT TIME.
• 51:53
  THERE'LL BE NO MORE PRESIDENTS.
• 51:54
  THERE'LL BE NO MORE KINGS OR PRIME MINISTERS OR DICTATORS.
• 51:58
  THE KINGDOM WILL BE UNDER THEOCRATIC RULE
• 52:01
  WITH GOD ACTUALLY REIGNING THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST,
• 52:06
  HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
• 52:08
  KING JESUS WILL BE REIGNING FROM JERUSALEM,
• 52:12
  AND WE WILL BE ASSISTING HIM IN SOME MANNER.
• 52:15
  IMAGINE LIFE WHERE JESUS IS ON THE THRONE.
• 52:18
  HE'S THE ONLY KING OVER THE WHOLE WORLD.
• 52:20
  THE SAINTS ARE RULING AND REIGNING WITH HIM,
• 52:22
  AND SATAN IS BOUND FOR 1,000 YEARS.
• 52:25
  DON'T FORGET THAT.
• 52:25
  WE DON'T HAVE ANY INFLUENCE OF SATAN
• 52:27
  DURING THIS 1,000-YEAR PERIOD.
• 52:29
  HALLELUJAH. IT'S GONNA BE A WONDERFUL TIME.
• 52:34
  WHILE REVELATION TELLS US THERE'LL BE A
• 52:36
  MILLENNIAL KINGDOM, IT DOESN'T REALLY GIVE
• 52:38
  US A LOT OF DETAIL ABOUT THAT KINGDOM
• 52:40
  AND WHAT TAKES PLACE.
• 52:41
  BUT THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND PARTICULARLY THE BOOK OF ISAIAH,
• 52:44
  IS VERY DETAILED WITH DESCRIPTIONS ON THE
• 52:46
  MILLENNIAL KINGDOM.
• 52:48
  LET'S LOOK AT A FEW DESCRIPTIONS OF LIFE
• 52:50
  DURING THIS THOUSAND YEAR PERIOD.
• 52:52
  LET'S START WITH ISAIAH TWO, VERSES ONE THROUGH FOUR.
• 52:55
  GOT QUITE A BIT OF SCRIPTURE TONIGHT,
• 52:57
  BUT I'M GONNA GO QUICKLY.
• 52:58
  THIS IS A VISION THAT ISAIAH, THE SON OF AMOZ,
• 53:01
  SAW CONCERNING JUDAH AND JERUSALEM.
• 53:04
  IN THE LAST DAYS, THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD'S HOUSE
• 53:06
  WILL BE THE HIGHEST OF ALL, THE MOST IMPORTANT
• 53:09
  PLACE ON EARTH.
• 53:11
  IT WILL BE RAISED ABOVE THE OTHER HILLS,
• 53:13
  AND PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD
• 53:14
  WILL STREAM THERE TO WORSHIP.
• 53:16
  SEE, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE STREAMING TAKING PLACE
• 53:20
  DURING THAT TIME.
• 53:21
  SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE MOVING RIGHT INTO IT.
• 53:24
  IT'S A GOOD THING WE HAVE STREAMING NOW
• 53:25
  BECAUSE WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH IT.
• 53:26
  SO ANYWAY, PEOPLE FROM MANY NATIONS WILL COME AND SAY,
• 53:31
  COME, LET US GO TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD,
• 53:34
  TO THE HOUSE OF JACOB'S GOD.
• 53:36
  THERE HE WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS, AND WE WILL WALK IN HIS PATHS,
• 53:41
  FOR THE LORD'S TEACHING WILL GO OUT FROM ZION,
• 53:44
  HIS WORD WILL GO OUT FROM JERUSALEM.
• 53:47
  THE LORD WILL MEDIATE BETWEEN NATIONS
• 53:50
  AND WILL SETTLE INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES.
• 53:53
  THEY WILL HAMMER THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES.
• 53:56
  SO THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY MORE WAR.
• 53:59
  AND THEIR SPEARS WILL BE TURNED INTO PRUNING HOOKS.
• 54:02
  NATIONS WILL NO LONGER FIGHT AGAINST NATIONS.
• 54:05
  THEY'LL NO LONGER TRAIN FOR WAR ANYMORE.
• 54:07
  THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY NEED FOR A MILITARY BUDGET
• 54:09
  AT THAT POINT IN TIME BECAUSE THERE'LL BE NO WAR.
• 54:12
  JESUS WON'T ALLOW IT.
• 54:14
  HALLELUJAH. SO IN THE MILLENNIUM,
• 54:17
  THERE'S NO WAR.
• 54:18
  YOU KNOW, WAR HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT PART OF HUMAN AFFAIRS
• 54:22
  FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
• 54:23
  IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN SOME TYPE OF WAR GOING ON,
• 54:27
  BUT THERE'LL BE NO WAR DURING THE MILLENNIUM.
• 54:29
  NOW MICAH 4.4 SAYS, "EVERYONE WILL LIVE IN
• 54:32
  PEACE AND PROSPERITY."
• 54:34
  HALLELUJAH. "ENJOYING THEIR OWN
• 54:36
  GRAPEVINES AND FIG TREES."
• 54:38
  JANET, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OWN GRAPEVINE
• 54:41
  AND YOUR OWN FIG TREE, THE BIBLE SAYS.
• 54:44
  THERE'LL BE NOTHING TO FEAR.
• 54:47
  THE LORD OF HEAVEN'S ARMIES HAS MADE THIS PROMISE.
• 54:51
  CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING WITH THIS KIND OF PEACE
• 54:54
  EVIDENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD?
• 54:57
  NO NEED TO LOCK YOUR DOORS AT NIGHT, EILEEN.
• 54:59
  SHE ALWAYS MAKES SURE THAT OUR DOORS ARE LOCKED AT NIGHT.
• 55:02
  I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE LIKES TO DO THAT,
• 55:04
  BUT PHYLLIS IS SHAKING HER HEAD, SHE DOES THE SAME THING.
• 55:07
  HOW MANY OF YOU HERE LOCK YOUR DOORS AT NIGHT?
• 55:10
  I'M WATCHING TO SEE WHO DIDN'T RAISE THEIR HAND,
• 55:12
  THEN I'LL KNOW IF I, JUST JOKING.
• 55:15
  I WOULDN'T DO THAT.
• 55:17
  BUT DURING THE MILLENNIUM, YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR DOORS OPEN.
• 55:20
  IT'S OKAY, THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR, THE BIBLE SAYS.
• 55:23
  YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, HALLELUJAH.
• 55:27
  WELL, LET'S LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE LOOKED AT,
• 55:29
  LET'S REVIEW WHAT WE'VE LOOKED AT SO FAR.
• 55:32
  I WANNA PUT THAT SLIDE UP IN THE RED INK.
• 55:34
  THESE ARE THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT.
• 55:36
  FIRST OF ALL, WE SAID SATAN'S BOUND FOR 1,000 YEARS.
• 55:38
  SECONDLY, WE SAID JESUS WILL RULE FROM JERUSALEM.
• 55:41
  WE'RE GONNA BE RULING WITH HIM.
• 55:43
  THIRDLY, THERE'S A JUDGMENT THAT TAKES PLACE
• 55:46
  OF TRIBULATION SURVIVORS, AND EVERYONE THAT GOES
• 55:49
  INTO THE MILLENNIUM PERIOD INITIALLY ARE SAVED,
• 55:52
  REDEEMED CHRISTIANS FOLLOWING JESUS.
• 55:55
  AND THEN IT'S A TIME OF PEACE AND JOY.
• 55:57
  SO LET'S CONTINUE ON HERE.
• 56:00
  LET'S LOOK AT ISAIAH 65, 18 THROUGH 24.
• 56:05
  BECAUSE AS A RESULT OF THESE PRISTINE CONDITIONS
• 56:07
  OF THE UNIVERSE, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIVE A LONG TIME.
• 56:11
  LET'S READ ABOUT THAT.
• 56:12
  ISAIAH 65, 18 THROUGH 24.
• 56:16
  "BE GLAD.
• 56:17
  REJOICE FOREVER IN MY CREATION.
• 56:19
  AND LOOK, I WILL CREATE JERUSALEM
• 56:21
  AS A PLACE OF HAPPINESS.
• 56:23
  HER PEOPLE WILL BE A SOURCE OF JOY.
• 56:26
  I WILL REJOICE OVER JERUSALEM AND DELIGHT IN MY PEOPLE,
• 56:29
  AND THE SOUND OF WEEPING AND CRYING
• 56:31
  WILL BE HEARD IN IT NO MORE.
• 56:34
  NO LONGER WILL BABIES DIE WHEN ONLY A FEW DAYS OLD.
• 56:39
  NO LONGER WILL ADULTS DIE BEFORE THEY'VE LIVED A FULL LIFE.
• 56:43
  NO LONGER WILL PEOPLE BE CONSIDERED OLD AT 100.
• 56:47
  YOU KNOW, PEOPLE-- WHEN I REACHED 90 YEARS OLD,
• 56:50
  PEOPLE STARTED CALLING ME OLD, BUT I'LL BE ABLE TO GET TO 100
• 56:55
  AND NOT EVEN THINK THAT I'M OLD IF I'M IN THE MILLENNIUM.
• 57:00
  NO ONE GOT THAT JOKE, BUT I'M NOT QUITE 90 YET.
• 57:04
  I'M A LITTLE WAYS OFF FROM 90.
• 57:06
  BUT WHAT A TIME THAT'LL BE.
• 57:08
  A 100-YEAR-OLD PERSON, PASTOR KEITH,
• 57:10
  WILL NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED OLD IN THE MILLENNIUM.
• 57:14
  ONLY THE CURSED WILL DIE THAT YOUNG.
• 57:16
  HALLELUJAH. IN THOSE DAYS, PEOPLE
• 57:21
  WILL LIVE IN HOUSES THEY BUILD AND EAT FRUIT
• 57:24
  OF THEIR OWN VINEYARDS.
• 57:25
  THAT'S WHEN JANET'S GOING TO BE EATEN
• 57:26
  FROM HER FIG TREE AND HER GRAPE VINE.
• 57:30
  UNLIKE THE PAST, INVADERS WILL NOT TAKE THEIR HOUSES
• 57:33
  AND CONFISCATE THEIR VINEYARDS.
• 57:35
  YOUR VINEYARDS WILL BE SAFE.
• 57:36
  YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PUT A FENCE UP, JANET.
• 57:38
  IT'S GOING TO BE SAFE THERE.
• 57:40
  NO ONE'S GOING TO ROB YOU.
• 57:42
  FOR MY PEOPLE WILL LIVE AS LONG AS TREES,
• 57:44
  AND MY CHOSEN ONES WILL HAVE TIME
• 57:46
  TO ENJOY THEIR HARD-WON GAINS.
• 57:49
  THEY WILL NOT WORK IN VAIN, AND THEIR CHILDREN WILL NOT
• 57:52
  BE DOOMED TO MISFORTUNE, FOR THEY
• 57:55
  ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE BLESSED BY THE LORD,
• 57:56
  AND THEIR CHILDREN, TOO, WILL BE BLESSED.
• 58:00
  I WILL ANSWER THEM BEFORE THEY EVEN CALL TO ME.
• 58:03
  WHILE THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT THEIR NEEDS,
• 58:05
  I WILL GO AHEAD AND ANSWER THEIR PRAYERS.
• 58:07
  HALLELUJAH. THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 58:10
  PEOPLE WILL LIVE TO RIPE OLD AGES
• 58:12
  COMPARED TO HOW WE LIVE TODAY.
• 58:13
  HALLELUJAH. SO THERE'S LONG LIFE.
• 58:16
  DEATH WILL BE EXPERIENCED ONLY BY THOSE
• 58:18
  THAT REBEL AGAINST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
• 58:22
  AND SOME PEOPLE FIND IT SURPRISING
• 58:23
  TO THINK OF REBELLION DURING THE MILLENNIUM,
• 58:26
  BUT HERE'S HOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
• 58:28
  EVERYBODY WHO GOES INTO THE MILLENNIUM,
• 58:29
  LIKE I'VE TOLD YOU, WILL BE THE RIGHTEOUS.
• 58:31
  THEY'LL BE SAVED.
• 58:33
  REMEMBER, THE GOATS AND THE SHEEP ARE SEPARATED
• 58:35
  BEFORE THE MILLENNIUM PERIOD TAKES PLACE
• 58:38
  SO THAT EVERYONE THAT GOES IN WILL BE SHEEP.
• 58:42
  THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED.
• 58:44
  BUT HOWEVER, THINK ABOUT THIS, DURING THE THOUSAND YEAR PERIOD,
• 58:48
  THERE'S GONNA BE MARRIAGES.
• 58:49
  THERE'LL BE A LOT OF GENERATIONS DURING A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 58:53
  NATURAL PEOPLE HAVING BABIES, CONTINUING ON, CONTINUING ON.
• 58:57
  THERE'LL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE BORN.
• 58:59
  I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY, 'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW
• 59:00
  HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING INTO THE MILLENNIUM,
• 59:01
  SO I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE POPULATION WILL BE,
• 59:04
  BUT OVER A THOUSAND YEARS, YOU COULD HAVE A LOT OF BABIES.
• 59:08
  SO THERE'LL BE A LOT OF NATURAL PEOPLE AT THAT POINT.
• 59:12
  BUT DURING THAT PERIOD, CHILDREN ARE BORN.
• 59:15
  SOME OF THESE CHILDREN WILL REBEL AGAINST THE THINGS OF GOD.
• 59:19
  HUMAN NATURE AND FREE WILL AND THE POWER OF CHOICE
• 59:23
  IS STILL ALLOWED FOR PEOPLE.
• 59:27
  GOD CANNOT TAKE THAT AWAY.
• 59:29
  HE ALLOWS US FREE WILL.
• 59:30
  IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR IF HE DIDN'T ALLOW FREE WILL.
• 59:34
  SO JUST LIKE TODAY, EVERY PERSON BORN
• 59:36
  DURING THE MILLENNIAL AGE WILL MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION
• 59:39
  EITHER FOR OR AGAINST JESUS CHRIST
• 59:43
  DURING THAT MILLENNIAL PERIOD.
• 59:46
  BUT YOU CAN BE ASSURED OF THIS, REBELLION WILL NOT LAST LONG.
• 59:49
  THE ONE WHO IS IN CHARGE WILL KNOW THE INTENT OF EVERY HEART
• 59:53
  AND THERE'LL BE SWIFT JUSTICE FOR EVERY WRONG.
• 59:56
  THE BIBLE SAYS OUR LORD WILL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON
• 59:59
  DURING THAT POINT IN TIME.
• 1:00:01
  THAT MEANS THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANY LONG DELAYS IN JUSTICE,
• 1:00:04
  NO POSTPONEMENTS OF TRIALS OR SENTENCES TO BE CARRIED OUT.
• 1:00:08
  PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA SIT IN JAIL FOR 20 YEARS
• 1:00:11
  WAITING TO GET THEIR JUDGMENT.
• 1:00:14
  IT'LL BE IMMEDIATE.
• 1:00:19
  ISAIAH TELLS US ANOTHER THING THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.
• 1:00:24
  IT'S A TIME WHEN ANIMALS WILL BE TAMED.
• 1:00:26
  ISAIAH 65, 25, LET'S READ THAT.
• 1:00:29
  IT SAYS, "THE WOLF AND THE LAMB WILL FEED TOGETHER.
• 1:00:32
  "THE LION WILL EAT HAY LIKE A COW,
• 1:00:35
  "BUT THE SNAKES WILL EAT DUST.
• 1:00:36
  "IN THOSE DAYS, NO ONE WILL BE HURT OR DESTROYED
• 1:00:39
  "ON MY HOLY MOUNTAIN.
• 1:00:40
  I, THE LORD, HAVE SPOKEN.
• 1:00:42
  ANIMAL BEHAVIOR WILL RETURN TO THE DAYS
• 1:00:44
  OF THE ORIGINAL CREATION PRE-FLOOD.
• 1:00:48
  THERE WAS NO HOSTILITY BETWEEN ANIMALS AND HUMAN BEINGS
• 1:00:53
  UNTIL THE TIME OF THE GREAT FLOOD.
• 1:00:56
  ANIMALS AND HUMANS WERE ORIGINALLY
• 1:00:58
  PEACEFUL VEGETARIANS."
• 1:01:02
  GENESIS 1, 29 THROUGH 30 SAYS, "THEN GOD SAID, LOOK,
• 1:01:07
  "I HAVE GIVEN YOU EVERY SEED BEARING PLANT
• 1:01:09
  "THROUGHOUT THE EARTH "AND ALL THE FRUIT
• 1:01:11
  TREES FOR YOUR FOOD.
• 1:01:13
  "AND I'VE GIVEN EVERY GREEN PLANT AS FOOD
• 1:01:15
  "FOR ALL THE WILD ANIMALS, THE BIRDS IN THE SKY,
• 1:01:17
  "AND THE SMALL ANIMALS THAT SCURRY ALONG THE GROUND,
• 1:01:19
  "EVERYTHING THAT HAS LIFE, AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED."
• 1:01:24
  SO AFTER ADAM'S FALL, THE EARTH GRADUALLY BECAME
• 1:01:27
  MORE AND MORE CORRUPT AND FILLED WITH
• 1:01:29
  VIOLENCE ACCORDING TO GENESIS CHAPTER SIX,
• 1:01:32
  AND FOLLOWING THE FLOOD, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN
• 1:01:36
  AND BEAST BECAME ADVERSARIAL.
• 1:01:40
  TO MAINTAIN ORDER AND HUMAN SAFETY,
• 1:01:43
  GOD SUPERNATURALLY PLACED A FEAR OF HUMANS UPON ANIMALS.
• 1:01:48
  THEN GOD INSTITUTED A NEW COVENANT WITH NOAH
• 1:01:52
  THAT OFFICIALLY GRANTED THE RIGHT TO CONSUME MEAT.
• 1:01:55
  WE'LL SEE THIS IN GENESIS CHAPTER NINE.
• 1:01:57
  IF YOU WANNA BRING UP GENESIS NINE VERSES TWO AND THREE,
• 1:02:00
  IT SAYS, "ALL THE ANIMALS OF THE EARTH,
• 1:02:02
  "ALL THE BIRDS OF THE SKY, AND ALL THE SMALL ANIMALS
• 1:02:04
  "THAT SCURRY ALONG THE GROUND, AND THE FISH IN THE SEA
• 1:02:06
  "WILL LOOK ON YOU WITH FEAR AND TERROR."
• 1:02:09
  SO THAT'S WHEN GOD PLACED A FEAR IN THESE ANIMALS OF MANKIND.
• 1:02:14
  AND I'VE PLACED THEM IN YOUR POWER.
• 1:02:16
  GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION OVER THOSE ANIMALS.
• 1:02:19
  I'VE GIVEN THEM TO YOU FOR FOOD, JUST AS I'VE GIVEN YOU
• 1:02:22
  GRAIN AND VEGETABLES.
• 1:02:24
  SO NOW MANKIND WAS FREE TO EAT MEAT AT THAT POINT
• 1:02:27
  IN GENESIS CHAPTER NINE, WHEN BEFORE THEY'D
• 1:02:29
  BEEN VEGETARIANS.
• 1:02:33
  SO,
• 1:02:36
  THE QUESTION I HAVE IS THIS, WILL CHRISTIANS THAT GO
• 1:02:43
  RAPTURED OR MAYBE
• 1:02:49
  ONES THAT ORIGINALLY LIVED IN NEBRASKA OR IOWA
• 1:02:52
  AND JUST LOVE TO EAT STEAK, WILL THEY BE ALLOWED TO HAVE
• 1:02:57
  BEEF DURING THE MILLENNIUM?
• 1:03:01
  WHEN THE ANIMALS ARE TAMED AND THERE'S NO
• 1:03:04
  AGGRESSION ANY LONGER?
• 1:03:08
  I DON'T KNOW.
• 1:03:09
  JESUS, CAN I HAVE A RIBEYE?
• 1:03:12
  MAYBE HE'LL SUPERNATURALLY GROW THOSE FROM PLANTS,
• 1:03:16
  YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY CAN, YOU KNOW,
• 1:03:18
  BUT I'M SURE IT'D BE A LOT BETTER
• 1:03:19
  THAN THOSE CHEMICAL MEATS THAT THEY MAKE TODAY.
• 1:03:24
  I'M SURE JESUS WILL ALLOW US TO HAVE SOME KIND OF BEEF,
• 1:03:26
  PASTOR ANTHONY, I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT'S GONNA BE GREAT ANYWAY.
• 1:03:31
  IF WE HAVE TO BE VEGETARIANS, IT'LL BE A SMALL PRICE TO PAY
• 1:03:34
  TO BE IN THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM.
• 1:03:35
  SO THAT'S OKAY.
• 1:03:38
  LET'S LOOK AT ISAIAH 11, VERSES SIX THROUGH NINE.
• 1:03:41
  IT SAYS, "IN THAT DAY, THE WOLF AND THE LAMB
• 1:03:44
  "WILL LIVE TOGETHER.
• 1:03:45
  "THE LEOPARD WILL LIE DOWN WITH THE BABY GOAT.
• 1:03:48
  "THE CALF AND THE YEARLING WILL BE SAFE WITH THE LION,
• 1:03:51
  "AND THE LITTLE CHILD WILL LEAD THEM ALL."
• 1:03:54
  HALLELUJAH. "THE COW WILL GRAZE
• 1:03:56
  NEAR THE BEAR, "AND THE CUB AND THE CALF
• 1:03:58
  WILL LIE DOWN TOGETHER.
• 1:03:59
  "THE LION WILL EAT HAY LIKE A COW.
• 1:04:02
  "THE BABY WILL PLAY SAFELY NEAR THE HOLE OF THE COBRA.
• 1:04:05
  "YES, A LITTLE CHILD WILL PUT ITS HAND
• 1:04:07
  "IN THE NEST OF THE DEADLY SNAKES WITHOUT HARM.
• 1:04:12
  "NOTHING WILL HURT OR DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN,
• 1:04:15
  "FOR AS THE WATERS FILL THE SEA, "SO THE EARTH WILL BE FILLED
• 1:04:19
  WITH PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE LORD.
• 1:04:22
  "THE WOLF AND THE LAMB WILL TAKE NAPS TOGETHER."
• 1:04:26
  ISN'T THAT CUTE?
• 1:04:29
  "IN THE TIME OF THE MILLENNIUM, "THE LION AND THE LAMB
• 1:04:32
  WILL PEACEFULLY COEXIST."
• 1:04:34
  HMM, THE LION AND THE LAMB.
• 1:04:37
  WHEN THE PRINCE OF PEACE COMES TO BRING PEACE TO THE EARTH,
• 1:04:40
  IT'S GONNA AFFECT EVERY ASPECT OF OUR EARTH,
• 1:04:43
  INCLUDING THE WILD ANIMALS.
• 1:04:46
  KIDS WILL BE PLAYING WITH SNAKES.
• 1:04:48
  CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
• 1:04:51
  MOMS ARE GONNA SAY TO JIMMY AND SARAH,
• 1:04:54
  "GET OFF THAT PLAYSTATION, YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH IT
• 1:04:57
  "TOO LONG, YOU GET OUT IN THE BACKYARD
• 1:04:59
  "AND YOU PLAY WITH SOME SNAKES."
• 1:05:00
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:05:02
  AND YES, THAT WILL HAPPEN, AND THE CHILDREN WILL BE FINE.
• 1:05:11
  NOW AS WE MOVE INTO REVELATION 20, VERSES SEVEN AND EIGHT,
• 1:05:16
  WE SEE A TRANSITION HERE.
• 1:05:18
  IN THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 20, WE SEE JESUS REIGNS FROM
• 1:05:21
  JERUSALEM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 1:05:23
  HE BINDS SATAN AND CASTS HIM INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
• 1:05:27
  AND SO FOR A THOUSAND YEARS, SATAN'S UNDER LOCK
• 1:05:30
  AND KEY IN THIS ABYSS.
• 1:05:32
  AND NOW LET'S LOOK AT THIS TURN OF EVENTS THAT HAPPENS,
• 1:05:35
  STARTING WITH VERSE SEVEN OF REVELATION 20.
• 1:05:39
  LET'S READ THAT.
• 1:05:40
  WHEN THE THOUSAND YEARS COMES TO AN END,
• 1:05:42
  SATAN WILL BE LED OUT OF HIS PRISON.
• 1:05:44
  HE WILL GO OUT TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS CALLED GOG AND MAGOG
• 1:05:48
  IN EVERY CORNER OF THE EARTH.
• 1:05:49
  HE WILL GATHER THEM TOGETHER FOR A BATTLE AND A MIGHTY
• 1:05:52
  ARMY AS NUMBERLESS AS THE SAND ALONG THE SEASHORE.
• 1:05:55
  AND I SAW THEM AS THEY WENT ON THE BROAD PLAIN OF THE EARTH
• 1:05:58
  AND SURROUNDED GOD'S PEOPLE AND THE BELOVED CITY.
• 1:06:01
  BUT THE FIRE FROM HEAVEN CAME DOWN ON THE ATTACKING
• 1:06:03
  ARMIES AND CONSUMED THEM.
• 1:06:06
  THEN THE DEVIL WHO HAD DECEIVED THEM WAS THROWN
• 1:06:09
  INTO THE FIERY LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR,
• 1:06:11
  JOINING THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET.
• 1:06:14
  THERE THEY WILL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER."
• 1:06:18
  SO REMEMBER, THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET
• 1:06:22
  ARE ALREADY RESIDING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
• 1:06:25
  THAT HAPPENED AT THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON.
• 1:06:27
  WHEN WE LOOKED AT REVELATION CHAPTER 19,
• 1:06:30
  YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE ARCHIVES ON MAY 20TH
• 1:06:33
  AND REVIEW THAT MESSAGE IF YOU WANT TO,
• 1:06:34
  AND YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET
• 1:06:37
  WERE THROWN IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AT THAT TIME.
• 1:06:39
  BUT NOW THE DEVIL'S BEEN CHAINED UP FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
• 1:06:43
  AND HE GETS RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME.
• 1:06:46
  AND LET'S LOOK AT VERSE 20 AGAIN.
• 1:06:49
  AND THE BEAST WAS CAPTURED AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET
• 1:06:53
  WHO DID MIGHTY MIRACLES.
• 1:06:55
  I'M SORRY, THIS IS REVELATION 19, 20.
• 1:06:57
  AND THE BEAST WAS CAPTURED AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET
• 1:06:59
  WHO DID MIGHTY MIRACLES ON BEHALF OF THE BEAST,
• 1:07:01
  MIRACLES THAT DECEIVED ALL THAT ACCEPTED THE MARK,
• 1:07:04
  WHO HAD WORSHIPED THE STATUE, BOTH THE BEAST AND
• 1:07:06
  ITS FALSE PROPHET WERE THROWN ALIVE INTO THE
• 1:07:08
  FIERY LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR.
• 1:07:10
  SO THAT'S YOUR CONFIRMATION.
• 1:07:12
  THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN THE LAKE
• 1:07:17
  OF FIRE DURING THIS TIME.
• 1:07:19
  SO WE WERE DEALING WITH A DEVIL THAT WAS CHAINED UP
• 1:07:21
  FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 1:07:23
  AND WE SEE VERSE SEVEN OUT OF REVELATION 20 SAYS,
• 1:07:27
  WHEN THE THOUSAND YEARS COMES TO AN END,
• 1:07:29
  SATAN WILL BE LET OUT OF HIS PRISON.
• 1:07:32
  AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO ADDRESS WITH YOU NOW
• 1:07:34
  THAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER AND I SAID,
• 1:07:35
  THINK ABOUT IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
• 1:07:37
  THE QUESTION IS WHY?
• 1:07:38
  WHY DOES SATAN GET RELEASED AFTER THAT THOUSAND
• 1:07:41
  YEARS OF BONDAGE?
• 1:07:44
  DAN, DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT BY THE WAY?
• 1:07:45
  NO, I'M JUST PICKING ON YOU, DAN.
• 1:07:51
  I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WERE ASLEEP.
• 1:07:54
  WHAT'S THAT?
• 1:07:55
  IT'S A TEST.
• 1:07:57
  THERE YOU GO.
• 1:07:57
  YOU GET AN A, DAN.
• 1:08:00
  YEAH.
• 1:08:02
  YOU KNOW, WE ALL LIKE IT JUST FINE WHEN THE DEVIL
• 1:08:04
  IS IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, BUT GOD'S GOING TO RELEASE
• 1:08:07
  SATAN THIS ONE LAST TIME, AND SCRIPTURE TELLS US
• 1:08:10
  THAT SATAN'S ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE IN THIS SHORT TIME,
• 1:08:13
  AND THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING, BUT IT HAPPENS TO
• 1:08:15
  BE HUMAN NATURE.
• 1:08:17
  SO HE GOES OUT TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS, THE BIBLE SAYS,
• 1:08:20
  CALLED GOG AND MAGOG IN EVERY CORNER OF THE EARTH.
• 1:08:22
  HE GATHERS PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR A BATTLE, A MIGHTY ARMY,
• 1:08:27
  AND IT SAYS IN THERE THAT IT'S NUMBERLESS
• 1:08:30
  AS THE SANDS OF THE SEASHORE.
• 1:08:31
  SO THAT TELLS ME THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE, PASTOR KEITH,
• 1:08:34
  THAT ARE GONNA BE DECEIVED DURING THAT SHORT TIME
• 1:08:37
  THAT THE DEVIL IS RELEASED.
• 1:08:39
  HE'S DECEIVING PEOPLE THAT HAVE LIVED
• 1:08:41
  IN THE MILLENNIAL KINGDOM UNDER PEACE AND PROSPERITY,
• 1:08:44
  AND THEY FOLLOW HIM.
• 1:08:46
  I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THEY DO.
• 1:08:49
  THEY FOLLOW HIM, AND SCRIPTURE SAYS
• 1:08:50
  HE GOES OUT TO THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD.
• 1:08:53
  HE DECEIVES A GREAT MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE
• 1:08:56
  LIKE THE NUMBERS OF SAND ON THE SEASHORE.
• 1:08:59
  AND I BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO WHAT DAN TELLS ME HERE,
• 1:09:03
  THAT THE POSSIBLE REASON FOR THIS
• 1:09:06
  IS THAT NATURAL PEOPLE IN NATURAL BODIES
• 1:09:10
  THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE MILLENNIUM,
• 1:09:13
  THEY'RE SUCCESSIVE GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE
• 1:09:15
  BORN DURING THOSE THOUSAND YEARS,
• 1:09:16
  THEY LIVE AND REPOPULATE THE EARTH DURING THIS TIME,
• 1:09:20
  AND THEY'VE ENJOYED THE BENEFITS OF LIVING IN THE MILLENNIUM,
• 1:09:24
  BUT THEY'RE BORN WITH A SIN NATURE.
• 1:09:27
  THEY STILL NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE.
• 1:09:29
  THEY STILL NEED TO CHOOSE PERSONALLY JESUS CHRIST
• 1:09:32
  IF THEY'RE GONNA BE SAVED.
• 1:09:33
  SO AT THE END OF THIS MILLENNIAL REIGN,
• 1:09:35
  SATAN IS LOOSED FOR THIS SHORT TIME
• 1:09:38
  AND ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEST, LIKE DAN SAID.
• 1:09:42
  IF YOU WANNA COME UP AND FINISH THE MESSAGE,
• 1:09:43
  YOU CAN, DAN, TOO.
• 1:09:44
  SO, I MEAN, I CAN TAKE A REST.
• 1:09:46
  SO, BUT IT'S A FINAL REBELLION AGAINST THE LORD AND HIS SAINTS.
• 1:09:53
  IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE FURTHER HUMANITY GETS
• 1:09:56
  DURING THIS THOUSAND YEAR PERIOD FROM THE START OF
• 1:09:58
  THE MILLENNIUM, THE MORE THEY TAKE FOR GRANTED
• 1:10:03
  ALL THE GOODNESS THAT THEY HAVE.
• 1:10:05
  AND THEN THEY GET DECEIVED AT THE END.
• 1:10:08
  YOU KNOW, MANKIND, LIKE I SAID, IS STILL ALLOWED FREE WILL,
• 1:10:11
  AND GOD NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT THESE PEOPLE,
• 1:10:14
  OR TEST THEM,
• 1:10:17
  TO SEE IF THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE IT
• 1:10:19
  INTO THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH.
• 1:10:21
  AND THAT'S THE NEXT THING THAT COMES
• 1:10:22
  AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT.
• 1:10:24
  THERE'S A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH,
• 1:10:26
  AND THAT'S CHAPTER 21.
• 1:10:28
  WE'LL GET INTO THAT IN THE FUTURE.
• 1:10:29
  BUT THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION.
• 1:10:33
  THESE PEOPLE MUST HAVE RENOUNCED SIN
• 1:10:35
  AND ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS LORD.
• 1:10:37
  AND GOD IS CONFIRMING THAT THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING HIM
• 1:10:41
  JUST BECAUSE OF THE PEACE AND THE PROSPERITY
• 1:10:44
  AND THE GOOD TIMES THAT THEY'VE HAD,
• 1:10:45
  BUT THEY'RE FOLLOWING HIM BECAUSE THEY LOVE JESUS CHRIST
• 1:10:48
  AND THEY WANT TO SERVE HIM.
• 1:10:50
  SO THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION TO ASK OURSELVES RIGHT NOW.
• 1:10:53
  ARE OUR HEARTS TRULY AFTER GOD BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM,
• 1:10:57
  WE WANT TO SERVE HIM, WE WORSHIP HIM,
• 1:10:59
  OR ARE WE JUST AFTER GOD BECAUSE WE HAVE GOOD BENEFITS
• 1:11:02
  OF, YOU KNOW, LIVING FOR JESUS?
• 1:11:08
  THAT'S A QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES.
• 1:11:11
  HERE WE SEE GOD DEMONSTRATING HIS NATURE TO MANKIND
• 1:11:13
  ONCE AGAIN.
• 1:11:14
  DURING THE MILLENNIUM, THE UNSAVED HUMANS
• 1:11:17
  WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCEPT OR REJECT.
• 1:11:19
  HE ALWAYS GIVES PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY.
• 1:11:22
  IT'S UP TO THEM, IT'S UP TO US, IT'S UP TO THEM TO MAKE
• 1:11:25
  THE RIGHT DECISION.
• 1:11:26
  WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY THOUGH, HE DOESN'T FORCE US.
• 1:11:29
  BUT HIS GRACE AND GOODNESS WILL BE ON DISPLAY CONTINUOUSLY.
• 1:11:32
  AND THEN AT THE END OF THE THOUSAND YEARS,
• 1:11:35
  HE'S NOT GONNA HAVE ANY MORE TOLERANCE FOR REBELLION.
• 1:11:37
  IT'S OVER AT THAT POINT.
• 1:11:40
  WHEN THE FINAL UPRISING OCCURS, HE'LL BE QUICK TO JUDGE
• 1:11:43
  AND THE FINAL REBELLION OF SATAN AND SINFUL MAN IS
• 1:11:46
  OVER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
• 1:11:48
  EVER SINCE SATAN'S FALL, HE'S BEEN THE ADVERSARY OF BELIEVERS
• 1:11:52
  AND THE ULTIMATE DECEIVER.
• 1:11:54
  AND ALL HE CAN PROMISE MANKIND IS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
• 1:11:59
  AND THE FINAL BATTLE IS THE END OF SATAN ALONG WITH THE END
• 1:12:02
  OF EVERYONE THAT FOLLOWS HIM.
• 1:12:05
  WE NEED TO ALWAYS REMEMBER THOUGH AS WE LIVE ON THIS EARTH
• 1:12:08
  THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US VICTORY EVEN RIGHT NOW
• 1:12:11
  IN THIS TIME OVER SATAN.
• 1:12:13
  FIRST JOHN 4 SAYS, "YOU ARE OF GOD, LITTLE CHILDREN,
• 1:12:16
  AND HAVE OVERCOME THEM BECAUSE HE WHO IS IN YOU
• 1:12:20
  IS GREATER THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD."
• 1:12:23
  AMEN. WELL, I WANT TO CONCLUDE
• 1:12:26
  HERE TONIGHT.
• 1:12:26
  WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE END.
• 1:12:29
  EDDIE, YOU CAN COME TO THE PIANO.
• 1:12:32
  THE MILLENNIUM WILL GIVE US A LITTLE TASTE OF HEAVEN
• 1:12:35
  ON EARTH, BUT IT WON'T ACTUALLY BE HEAVEN
• 1:12:37
  AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
• 1:12:39
  THAT'S COMING UP IN THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH.
• 1:12:41
  BUT IT WILL BE A TIME OF GREAT PEACE, A GREAT PROSPERITY.
• 1:12:44
  THERE'LL BE VERY LITTLE SUFFERING, VERY LITTLE SIN
• 1:12:47
  OR TEMPTATION.
• 1:12:48
  AND THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO WE APPLY THIS
• 1:12:50
  TO OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES TODAY?
• 1:12:52
  FIRST, IT GOES BACK TO, AGAIN, IT
• 1:12:55
  SEEMS EASY TO SERVE THE LORD WHEN TIMES ARE GOOD,
• 1:12:59
  BUT WE NEED TO BE ATTENTIVE AND PERHAPS EVEN MORE ATTENTIVE
• 1:13:03
  WHEN LIFE SEEMS TO BE GOING OUR WAY.
• 1:13:05
  MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE STILL DRAWING CLOSE TO THE LORD.
• 1:13:08
  EVEN IF YOU HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK, AND YOU HAVE A JOB,
• 1:13:13
  AND YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, NO SICKNESS,
• 1:13:17
  YOU HAVE HEALTH, WHATEVER, THAT'S
• 1:13:19
  A TIME JUST TO DRAW CLOSER TO THE LORD
• 1:13:21
  AND THANK HIM FOR THAT PROVISION.
• 1:13:25
  AND NOW EVEN THOUGH LIFE IS GOOD ON EARTH
• 1:13:26
  DURING THIS THOUSAND YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST,
• 1:13:28
  MANY WILL BE LED ASTRAY.
• 1:13:30
  THAT'S WHAT'S SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
• 1:13:33
  SATAN STILL LEADS PEOPLE ASTRAY DURING THAT TIME.
• 1:13:37
  AND THE TRUTH IS TODAY, MANY ARE LED ASTRAY
• 1:13:40
  BECAUSE LIFE IS GOOD.
• 1:13:41
  YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE DOING TWO THINGS REALLY.
• 1:13:45
  THEY'RE SEEKING MONEY AND PLEASURE.
• 1:13:47
  THAT'S THE TWO THINGS THAT PEOPLE MOST OFTEN ARE,
• 1:13:50
  YOU KNOW, I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE WEEKEND
• 1:13:51
  BECAUSE I'M GONNA ENJOY MY WEEKEND AND I GET MY PAYCHECK.
• 1:13:55
  THOSE ARE THE TWO THINGS PEOPLE LIVE FOR TODAY.
• 1:13:58
  AND THEY GET LED ASTRAY BY THAT
• 1:14:01
  AND THEN END UP NOT SERVING GOD.
• 1:14:05
  AND THAT'S JUST THE WAY THAT IT HAPPENED
• 1:14:06
  IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
• 1:14:09
  IF ANYONE HAD IT GOOD, IT WAS ADAM AND EVE.
• 1:14:12
  THEY WERE LIVING IN PARADISE.
• 1:14:16
  AND OF COURSE, WHEN CHALLENGES ARISE IN OUR LIFE,
• 1:14:19
  THAT'S WHEN WE CERTAINLY NEED AND DESIRE
• 1:14:21
  TO HAVE CHRIST IN OPERATION.
• 1:14:23
  BUT WHEN EVERYTHING IS EASY, EVERYTHING IS GOING YOUR WAY,
• 1:14:26
  YOUR BURDENS ARE LIGHT, THAT'S WHEN IT'S TIME
• 1:14:29
  TO BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
• 1:14:31
  TIGHTEN THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
• 1:14:33
  STRENGTHEN IT.
• 1:14:36
  I'M GONNA SKIP A STORY THAT I WAS GONNA TELL YOU
• 1:14:38
  BECAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME, BUT I THINK I'LL
• 1:14:43
  DO THIS TONIGHT.
• 1:14:45
  WHY DON'T YOU STAND WITH ME?
• 1:14:49
  IN 1971, BILL AND GLORIA GAITHER WROTE A FAMOUS SONG
• 1:14:54
  AND IT JUST CAME TO ME TODAY, I WANTED TO END WITH THAT.
• 1:14:57
  SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD IT, PASTOR ANTHONY,
• 1:14:59
  YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW IT, BUT IT'S CALLED
• 1:15:01
  "BECAUSE HE LIVES."
• 1:15:03
  AND IT SAYS, "GOD SENT HIS SON, THEY CALLED HIM JESUS.
• 1:15:06
  "HE CAME TO LOVE, HEAL, AND FORGIVE.
• 1:15:11
  "HE LIVED AND DIED TO BUY MY PARDON.
• 1:15:14
  "AN EMPTY GRAVE IS THERE TO PROVE MY SAVIOR LIVES."

  TAKE IT AWAY THERE, EDDIE.
