1
00:00:00.331 --> 00:00:04.914
Hey everybody, we are about to do a 60-second rapid-fire series.

2
00:00:05.194 --> 00:00:06.895
I do not know what the questions are.

3
00:00:07.496 --> 00:00:07.916
Are you ready?

4
00:00:08.476 --> 00:00:09.217
I hope I'm ready.

5
00:00:09.697 --> 00:00:10.217
Let's go.

6
00:00:11.558 --> 00:00:15.661
Who came first, Adam and Eve or cavemen and cavewomen?

7
00:00:16.501 --> 00:00:18.302
I'm a bit lost on this question.

8
00:00:18.402 --> 00:00:25.567
It doesn't make sense to me as far as the timeline with Scripture versus a long, long time ago with dinosaurs and cavemen.

9
00:00:26.047 --> 00:00:27.128
I get this question a lot.

10
00:00:27.996 --> 00:00:31.381
Yeah, first of all, there's no evidence whatsoever of cavemen.

11
00:00:31.701 --> 00:00:31.922
None.

12
00:00:32.843 --> 00:00:33.063
None.

13
00:00:33.624 --> 00:00:42.718
We have been taught from a secular worldview claiming that it's science that there are cavemen and cavewomen walking around with dinosaurs.

14
00:00:43.018 --> 00:00:51.082
truth of the matter is found in the book of Job, Adam and Eve were created first regarding the caveman situation because there are no cavemen, Adam and Eve.

15
00:00:51.622 --> 00:00:57.565
And look, the book of Job tells us that there were people on the earth after Adam and Eve who walked with the dinosaurs.

16
00:00:58.045 --> 00:00:59.126
Go read the book of Job.

17
00:00:59.746 --> 00:01:01.286
So it's very, very clear.

18
00:01:01.466 --> 00:01:18.289
I think personally that the dinosaurs didn't make it on the Ark or if they made it on the Ark, they were little lizards that wound up growing up into post-flood dinosaur types like, I don't know, things like the crocodile or alligator.

19
00:01:18.589 --> 00:01:20.530
But Adam and Eve, they were the first.

20
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:22.250
There were no cavemen or women before them.

21
00:01:23.710 --> 00:01:24.631
Was that 60 seconds?

22
00:01:25.311 --> 00:01:26.731
That was less than 60 seconds.

23
00:01:28.125 --> 00:01:34.931
My question is, when on the prophetic timeline after the rapture, does the marriage supper of the Lamb take place?

24
00:01:35.031 --> 00:01:42.398
I've heard during the seven-year tribulation and also have been taught that it takes place after we return with Jesus on the earth.

25
00:01:42.658 --> 00:01:49.004
Yeah, there's great debate as to the timing of where the marriage supper of the Lamb takes place.

26
00:01:50.288 --> 00:01:54.515
By the way, it's no topic to get into arguments about.

27
00:01:55.336 --> 00:02:02.848
It seems as though there are great arguments for it taking place during the tribulation period while the church is in Revelation 19.

28
00:02:03.309 --> 00:02:04.591
Go look at Revelation chapter 19.

29
00:02:05.732 --> 00:02:19.598
And read then Isaiah chapter 26 verses 19 to 21 for a correlation because it appears that it takes place in heaven above because the bride of Christ returns to earth in the second coming with Christ.

30
00:02:19.738 --> 00:02:21.579
Now, this is where the other view comes in.

31
00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:29.782
Does that mean then when he returns to establish his kingdom that that's when the marriage supper of the lamb happens or the celebration?

32
00:02:30.302 --> 00:02:31.663
Good arguments on either side.

33
00:02:32.003 --> 00:02:33.464
I'm just happy I'm going to be there.

34
00:02:33.904 --> 00:02:34.924
I hope you are too.

35
00:02:35.305 --> 00:02:39.567
Make sure that you are in the bride of Christ who's not invited.

36
00:02:39.887 --> 00:02:46.871
She is the very one who is the marriage supper of the Lamb focal point between Christ and her.

37
00:02:48.271 --> 00:02:51.253
How did you know you were called to be a teacher of the word?

38
00:02:52.533 --> 00:02:57.739
Through unbelievable years of blood, sweat, and tears, not so much blood.

39
00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:01.683
I did not intend to ever be a Bible teacher.

40
00:03:02.064 --> 00:03:03.365
I was not looking for that.

41
00:03:03.425 --> 00:03:04.567
I was happy in my career.

42
00:03:05.087 --> 00:03:08.271
I could have retired way by now in my career.

43
00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:11.494
But when Lisa and I—I've always had a very—

44
00:03:12.075 --> 00:03:15.736
From the moment I got saved, I had a very, very serious commitment to Bible doctrine.

45
00:03:16.256 --> 00:03:22.457
It wasn't until we moved to Chino Hills out of Costa Mesa that we began to do a home Bible study.

46
00:03:22.917 --> 00:03:25.238
And it grew and it grew and it grew and it grew.

47
00:03:25.278 --> 00:03:28.659
And they all wanted a church, but I did not want to be the pastor.

48
00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:34.420
And that's when I began to fast and pray to see who should take the home group and make it into a church.

49
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.981
And during that year and a half period of time, that's when God began to speak to me.

50
00:03:39.781 --> 00:03:42.963
And I was grateful looking back that I had all the education for that.

51
00:03:43.604 --> 00:03:47.206
But wow, God did that.

52
00:03:47.866 --> 00:03:51.789
And so it was something that I never really desired.

53
00:03:51.809 --> 00:03:53.310
It's something that I obeyed.

54
00:03:53.330 --> 00:03:56.312
Those are long 60 seconds.

55
00:03:56.352 --> 00:03:57.472
Are you sure your timer's right?

56
00:03:59.073 --> 00:04:00.094
I think you need to get a new.

57
00:04:01.195 --> 00:04:01.515
Anyway.

58
00:04:02.215 --> 00:04:04.217
Ezekiel describes a temple.

59
00:04:04.397 --> 00:04:05.337
Which temple is it?

60
00:04:05.477 --> 00:04:09.180
The restored temple or the future temple since the dimensions are different?

61
00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:10.971
Beautiful question.

62
00:04:11.452 --> 00:04:12.292
Great question.

63
00:04:13.213 --> 00:04:16.016
Read Ezekiel chapters 40 to the end of the book.

64
00:04:16.737 --> 00:04:18.458
It's the millennial temple.

65
00:04:18.539 --> 00:04:19.560
It's the future temple.

66
00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:25.005
It's the temple that will be in operation after the second coming.

67
00:04:25.025 --> 00:04:29.069
When Jesus returns, that Ezekiel temple will be reestablished.

68
00:04:29.849 --> 00:04:32.352
Read Ezekiel 40 all the way to the end.

69
00:04:32.792 --> 00:04:33.333
Quite awesome.

70
00:04:36.045 --> 00:04:39.568
Should we pay attention to the book of Enoch or the Ethiopian Bible?

71
00:04:40.608 --> 00:04:42.049
No, I think you should just read the Bible.

72
00:04:43.691 --> 00:04:47.253
There's a reason why the church fathers did not include those books.

73
00:04:47.653 --> 00:04:48.174
Big reason.

74
00:04:48.874 --> 00:04:52.397
And one of the reasons is there was not expositional constancy among the books.

75
00:04:54.023 --> 00:04:59.968
And so there's a lot of debate going on right now among those who are somehow super duper.

76
00:05:02.090 --> 00:05:13.519
They want to see themselves as super duper educated, high shelf intellectuals that want to talk about church structure, liturgical things, and all of that.

77
00:05:14.840 --> 00:05:17.202
They want to focus on church fathers and church history.

78
00:05:17.683 --> 00:05:22.407
When I say church fathers, I'm not talking about the disciples and the apostles, but

79
00:05:22.787 --> 00:05:25.989
I'm talking about those who focus on men and men's institutions.

80
00:05:26.009 --> 00:05:28.129
There's a big swell right now taking place.

81
00:05:28.169 --> 00:05:41.796
Watch out for that, everybody, because very rarely do they talk about being born again, studying the Word of God as God has preserved it for us, and focusing on Christ and the blood and His atonement instead of church membership and rituals.

82
00:05:42.156 --> 00:05:42.656
Be careful.

83
00:05:42.676 --> 00:05:43.757
That's a big deal right now.

84
00:05:45.597 --> 00:05:51.040
What does Jesus mean when He says, And whatever you loose on earth, I will loose in heaven.

85
00:05:52.123 --> 00:06:12.309
These are things that you and I as Christians have the authority as believers to stand upon the word of God and make come to conclusions, make judgments, exercise church discipline and conduct ourselves regarding the realm of the spirits.

86
00:06:13.229 --> 00:06:14.370
What authority do we have?

87
00:06:15.051 --> 00:06:17.172
All that which Christ has given us.

88
00:06:17.613 --> 00:06:21.176
We can only bind what God gives us the authority to bind.

89
00:06:21.196 --> 00:06:25.399
We can only loose that which the Lord has given us authority to loose.

90
00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:28.581
And so it is simply, here's how you can remember it simply.

91
00:06:29.022 --> 00:06:37.188
It is simply us walking in the power and the obedience of the word of God and through the authority of the Holy Spirit.

92
00:06:37.468 --> 00:06:39.190
Don't make it some big thing.

93
00:06:40.905 --> 00:06:46.833
bizarre Pentecostal type of thing where you go around doing this and that like super figures or action figures.

94
00:06:47.394 --> 00:06:48.035
That's not it.

95
00:06:49.577 --> 00:06:50.879
Is Solomon in heaven?

96
00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:53.202
Absolutely Solomon's in heaven.

97
00:06:53.282 --> 00:06:54.224
I think it's pretty clear.

98
00:06:54.804 --> 00:06:57.568
In fact, I love your question for this reason.

99
00:06:58.587 --> 00:07:00.488
Why would you doubt if Solomon's in heaven?

100
00:07:00.788 --> 00:07:02.389
Well, because he had a bunch of wives.

101
00:07:02.429 --> 00:07:07.911
He got into all this stuff about pleasing himself, money and this and that.

102
00:07:08.092 --> 00:07:11.333
Oh, you mean like most people or if all people on the planet?

103
00:07:12.254 --> 00:07:15.215
How many Christians have lost their way and then came back?

104
00:07:16.235 --> 00:07:23.779
I absolutely not only expect to see Solomon in heaven, but Solomon could probably come up to us and say, you know what, look at me.

105
00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:25.380
I am the biggest blunder.

106
00:07:26.703 --> 00:07:30.006
And I'm a living testimony here in heaven of God's great grace.

107
00:07:30.426 --> 00:07:34.490
Yeah, the fact that people like Solomon are in heaven is awesome.

108
00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:36.371
Here's the guy that spooks me out.

109
00:07:36.932 --> 00:07:40.975
I don't think King Saul ever made it to heaven.

110
00:07:41.255 --> 00:07:42.116
It's my opinion.

111
00:07:42.216 --> 00:07:42.917
I hope he's there.

112
00:07:43.217 --> 00:07:48.221
But that guy, it's hard to see if he was a real believer or not, King Saul.

113
00:07:48.341 --> 00:07:52.685
But Solomon, yeah, I have no doubt about King Solomon.

114
00:07:54.397 --> 00:08:01.401
Is it true that if you ask for anything in prayer with thanksgiving, according to God's will, and believe, he'll give it to you?

115
00:08:02.081 --> 00:08:07.925
Can I pray for someone's salvation and be assured that that person will be saved?

116
00:08:08.185 --> 00:08:10.806
No, you're asking two different questions, believe it or not.

117
00:08:10.846 --> 00:08:12.727
By asking one, you're asking two, actually.

118
00:08:14.993 --> 00:08:18.577
God has promised us to answer exactly as you said a moment ago, friend.

119
00:08:19.138 --> 00:08:21.400
If it's God's will, we pray according to his will.

120
00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:26.125
We pray with thanksgiving and we pray believing, standing upon the word of God.

121
00:08:26.225 --> 00:08:29.889
God will perform that because it's in alignment with his will.

122
00:08:30.991 --> 00:08:33.654
But when you come to somebody's salvation, watch this.

123
00:08:34.654 --> 00:08:36.055
In fact, there's some cults that do this.

124
00:08:36.775 --> 00:08:48.763
They, by their intercession or by their baptism, they become the Savior by saving others because of their prayer and their baptism for that lost individual.

125
00:08:49.143 --> 00:08:51.124
That is anathema to the Word of God.

126
00:08:51.144 --> 00:08:51.944
That's blasphemous.

127
00:08:52.905 --> 00:08:55.707
When it comes to the salvation of somebody, you cannot...

128
00:08:57.115 --> 00:09:04.457
You and I do not have that ability to claim their salvation or to pray and know that God is going to save them.

129
00:09:04.717 --> 00:09:05.557
No one knows this.

130
00:09:06.497 --> 00:09:09.558
Because that is something that is between God and that unbeliever.

131
00:09:09.998 --> 00:09:14.279
That unbeliever must make that decision on their own.

132
00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:19.040
But by all means, you pray for that unbeliever to come to the light, to come to salvation.

133
00:09:19.841 --> 00:09:23.221
But you cannot save them by your prayers.

134
00:09:23.982 --> 00:09:25.362
That's not even biblical.

135
00:09:27.658 --> 00:09:31.241
What are your thoughts on communion and full emerged baptism?

136
00:09:31.401 --> 00:09:33.523
Is it necessary to be saved or not?

137
00:09:34.083 --> 00:09:37.626
Absolutely not necessary to be saved.

138
00:09:38.406 --> 00:09:45.392
Those are manifestations to be practiced in what is known as serodotal or sacraments.

139
00:09:45.952 --> 00:09:49.555
Those practices are only for those who have been saved.

140
00:09:51.115 --> 00:09:55.867
You get born again first, then you get baptized and or share in communion.

141
00:09:56.409 --> 00:09:59.697
But you must never share in communion unless you're born again, ever.

142
00:10:00.753 --> 00:10:03.354
And you must never be baptized unless you're born again.

143
00:10:03.834 --> 00:10:15.096
That's why, at least the church that I pastor, based on the understanding of Scripture, we never baptize children unless children can tell us that they believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

144
00:10:15.156 --> 00:10:17.997
And then we always ask them, what did Jesus save you from?

145
00:10:18.417 --> 00:10:25.438
And some five-year-old might say, from lying or from kicking the dog or from telling fibs to my mom.

146
00:10:25.938 --> 00:10:27.059
They understand sin.

147
00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:27.839
They get it.

148
00:10:28.579 --> 00:10:37.567
But they've got to be, you've got to be born again first, first, first, first, and then those sacraments, but never in the reverse.

149
00:10:38.187 --> 00:10:39.308
And nor do they save you.

150
00:10:40.609 --> 00:10:41.951
You must be born again to be saved.

151
00:10:43.672 --> 00:10:45.934
The Bible says there will be no tears in heaven.

152
00:10:46.154 --> 00:10:46.615
With that,

153
00:10:47.750 --> 00:10:51.154
Will we not realize those loved ones that did not make it to heaven?

154
00:10:51.414 --> 00:10:53.937
I know I would cry if my daughter does not make it.

155
00:10:54.418 --> 00:10:56.360
And would I know she did not make it?

156
00:10:57.261 --> 00:10:59.524
Number, listen, this is a toughie.

157
00:10:59.624 --> 00:11:01.986
You said that there's no tears in heaven.

158
00:11:02.087 --> 00:11:02.767
That's not true.

159
00:11:02.908 --> 00:11:04.029
There are tears in heaven.

160
00:11:04.770 --> 00:11:07.413
It says that in heaven, he will wipe away.

161
00:11:09.323 --> 00:11:09.883
every tear.

162
00:11:10.903 --> 00:11:16.425
That's referring to what we believe as the day of judgment, the Bema seat, B-E-M-A, of Christ.

163
00:11:16.605 --> 00:11:26.167
When we see the opportunities we had to serve the Lord and magnify the Lord, and we didn't take them, we will probably weep for having misrepresenting him.

164
00:11:26.968 --> 00:11:28.308
He will wipe those tears away.

165
00:11:28.928 --> 00:11:31.949
When it comes to anyone who's not saved,

166
00:11:32.962 --> 00:11:36.445
and were in heaven, we will not even know that they ever existed.

167
00:11:36.625 --> 00:11:40.848
You will not weep that your daughter or your wife or your husband made it to heaven.

168
00:11:41.008 --> 00:11:42.589
You won't even know who they ever were.

169
00:11:42.729 --> 00:11:44.190
You'll have no recollection of them.

170
00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:44.490
Why?

171
00:11:44.830 --> 00:11:48.433
They were never born again into the family of God.

172
00:11:49.174 --> 00:11:54.637
In eternity, they were never, never in the family.

173
00:11:54.958 --> 00:11:58.240
That's even more sad right now than your other statement.

174
00:11:59.341 --> 00:12:02.203
You'll have no recollection of them because they were never born again.

175
00:12:03.390 --> 00:12:03.650
Again.

176
00:12:05.931 --> 00:12:10.614
What should we believe about people who die and say they go to heaven and then are sent back?

177
00:12:10.834 --> 00:12:12.435
So-called near-death experiences.

178
00:12:13.015 --> 00:12:15.076
I haven't heard one of those yet that I believe.

179
00:12:16.547 --> 00:12:17.167
I don't like them.

180
00:12:17.867 --> 00:12:19.068
They all contradict each other.

181
00:12:19.728 --> 00:12:21.288
In fact, you can buy books off the shelf.

182
00:12:21.408 --> 00:12:22.388
This kid dies.

183
00:12:22.448 --> 00:12:23.608
He sees Uncle Bill.

184
00:12:23.668 --> 00:12:29.170
But then everybody's got wings and all these stories about stuff.

185
00:12:29.210 --> 00:12:31.550
And the kid and everybody says, oh, that's that.

186
00:12:31.590 --> 00:12:33.710
And then somebody writes a new book because they died.

187
00:12:34.151 --> 00:12:35.031
And they saw this stuff.

188
00:12:35.051 --> 00:12:35.871
And then they came back.

189
00:12:35.931 --> 00:12:40.812
And they've got pictures or images and stories that contradict the other guy.

190
00:12:41.232 --> 00:12:46.413
Notice that all these human experiences that people have life after death situations.

191
00:12:47.033 --> 00:12:50.276
almost always are contradictory of other people's stories.

192
00:12:50.696 --> 00:12:57.621
The only one I go for is Paul the Apostles when he records his being caught up to the third heaven.

193
00:12:58.221 --> 00:13:01.283
He says he saw things that you're not supposed to talk about.

194
00:13:02.304 --> 00:13:03.184
I'm going to go with that.

195
00:13:04.605 --> 00:13:07.147
Once you have been saved, are you still a sinner?

196
00:13:09.889 --> 00:13:10.870
Once you're saved...

197
00:13:11.798 --> 00:13:16.380
You are absolutely still a sinner, but you are a rotten sinner.

198
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:17.800
Let me explain.

199
00:13:18.581 --> 00:13:21.622
Remember before you were saved, you were really great at sinning?

200
00:13:22.802 --> 00:13:25.564
When you get saved, you become horrible at sinning.

201
00:13:26.584 --> 00:13:27.964
You can't even sin good anymore.

202
00:13:28.425 --> 00:13:29.285
We all sin.

203
00:13:29.705 --> 00:13:30.405
We're all sinners.

204
00:13:30.626 --> 00:13:34.987
And we are going to sin until the day that we die because we'll have a bad thought or a bad mood.

205
00:13:35.868 --> 00:13:39.009
But the fact is,

206
00:13:40.455 --> 00:13:45.019
Those of us who know Jesus, we don't plan on sinning anymore, even though we do.

207
00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:49.502
It's a disgusting shock to us, and we repent of it immediately.

208
00:13:49.542 --> 00:13:55.447
1 John 1, 9, and we immediately restore our fellowship with the Lord by confession and repentance.

209
00:13:57.054 --> 00:14:03.259
which backs up my argument, those of us who are Christians hate, hate our sin.

210
00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:06.241
We don't call people up to make appointments for sin.

211
00:14:06.781 --> 00:14:08.583
We don't go watch sin.

212
00:14:08.983 --> 00:14:10.224
We don't plan on sinning.

213
00:14:10.244 --> 00:14:11.785
We're altogether different.

214
00:14:12.045 --> 00:14:14.007
We hate the old man, the old sin man.

215
00:14:16.244 --> 00:14:24.445
I was Catholic before and I was saved and have so many Catholic friends that claim to be Christians but still pray the rosary and don't read the Bible.

216
00:14:24.825 --> 00:14:29.626
Can someone really be saved that has no interest in the Bible and prays to Mary?

217
00:14:31.227 --> 00:14:37.208
I think the Bible is very clear that there's only one mediator between man and God and that is the man Christ Jesus.

218
00:14:38.868 --> 00:14:45.489
Isn't it interesting that the Catholic Church, I'm not going to say never, maybe there's an exception somewhere.

219
00:14:46.565 --> 00:14:51.209
But don't you think the Pope would proclaim, you've got to be born again, enter the kingdom of heaven, you've got to be born again?

220
00:14:51.909 --> 00:14:54.271
Did you know that Catholics don't hear that when they go to Mass?

221
00:14:55.913 --> 00:14:58.695
I think the answer to that is no, you need to be born again.

222
00:14:58.735 --> 00:15:02.198
Which, by the way, there's a lot of people in Protestant churches that aren't born again either.

223
00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:07.402
But if you're a Catholic and you're doing the rosary and you're praying to Mary, isn't it interesting?

224
00:15:07.462 --> 00:15:11.346
Mary's last words in the Bible were, do what my son says.

225
00:15:13.002 --> 00:15:13.803
That's our last words.

226
00:15:14.864 --> 00:15:16.947
Listen, you can't get to heaven by talking to Mary.

227
00:15:18.128 --> 00:15:21.132
You can only get to heaven by having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

228
00:15:22.288 --> 00:15:23.950
And that's pretty critical.

229
00:15:24.310 --> 00:15:26.752
And listen, there's no Calvary Chapel people in heaven.

230
00:15:27.092 --> 00:15:28.253
There's no Catholics in heaven.

231
00:15:28.614 --> 00:15:29.815
There's no Lutherans in heaven.

232
00:15:29.835 --> 00:15:30.635
There's no Baptists.

233
00:15:30.656 --> 00:15:32.277
There's no Methodists in heaven.

234
00:15:32.637 --> 00:15:38.863
There's only those who are children of the Most High God, those who are born again by the Spirit of God.

235
00:15:38.943 --> 00:15:41.765
John chapter 3, those are the ones that are in heaven.

236
00:15:42.046 --> 00:15:42.946
There's no membership.

237
00:15:42.966 --> 00:15:44.648
There's no little churches up in heaven.

238
00:15:47.292 --> 00:15:53.774
Will those that have heard the gospel and rejected it before the rapture be able to be saved during the tribulation?

239
00:15:53.954 --> 00:15:58.075
2 Thessalonians 2.11 speaks of God sending them a strong delusion.

240
00:15:58.295 --> 00:15:59.375
Yeah, I have to warn you.

241
00:15:59.395 --> 00:16:01.856
I have to give you this disclaimer.

242
00:16:02.096 --> 00:16:07.698
I am one of the few people I know that hold a strict view to 2 Thessalonians 2.

243
00:16:09.876 --> 00:16:15.463
I believe that those who can articulate the gospel right now, they can tell you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

244
00:16:15.784 --> 00:16:21.371
Jesus is God, born of a virgin, died on the cross for the sins of the world.

245
00:16:21.972 --> 00:16:23.714
On the third day, rose again from the grave.

246
00:16:24.175 --> 00:16:26.217
And you must believe and trust him to be saved.

247
00:16:26.478 --> 00:16:26.938
Yeah, yeah.

248
00:16:27.419 --> 00:16:28.180
I don't believe that.

249
00:16:29.425 --> 00:16:33.908
Those people, I believe, based on 2 Thessalonians 2, can never be saved.

250
00:16:34.388 --> 00:16:40.132
If the rapture happens today, they are the ones who God will send them strong delusion.

251
00:16:40.633 --> 00:16:43.394
And they will believe the lie that is forthcoming.

252
00:16:43.775 --> 00:16:44.795
We don't know what that lie is.

253
00:16:45.576 --> 00:16:52.601
And he says right there, and the reason why God blinds them to damnation is because they did not...

254
00:16:53.561 --> 00:16:55.643
Would not receive the love of the truth.

255
00:16:56.223 --> 00:17:01.247
Friends, look at 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and you try to figure out who he's talking about.

256
00:17:01.928 --> 00:17:02.929
I think it's crystal clear.

257
00:17:03.149 --> 00:17:03.989
The answer is no way.

258
00:17:05.591 --> 00:17:14.678
Pastor Jack, what is your response when you are with someone, stranger or non-stranger, who takes God's name in vain or otherwise speaks perversely?

259
00:17:15.198 --> 00:17:16.980
What should my response be?

260
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:19.021
It depends on the setting.

261
00:17:19.982 --> 00:17:23.445
There's people that just cuss and curse around.

262
00:17:24.706 --> 00:17:26.948
And I think you need to conduct yourself wisely.

263
00:17:27.969 --> 00:17:29.170
What I would say is this.

264
00:17:29.870 --> 00:17:38.958
Whenever Lisa and I hear the name of the Lord in vain, we will say to a level that is not offensive, but it can be heard.

265
00:17:39.679 --> 00:17:41.020
They'll say, Jesus Christ.

266
00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:41.760
And we say, is Lord.

267
00:17:41.780 --> 00:17:42.161
Is Lord.

268
00:17:43.547 --> 00:17:45.048
We just fill in the is Lord part.

269
00:17:46.049 --> 00:17:48.311
It's really fun in a theater when it's dark.

270
00:17:48.351 --> 00:17:50.513
And somebody might say Jesus Christ in the theater.

271
00:17:50.953 --> 00:17:52.094
And we'll say is Lord.

272
00:17:52.514 --> 00:17:53.835
We might do it a little louder.

273
00:17:54.576 --> 00:17:57.758
And most of the times you hear people chuckle.

274
00:17:57.858 --> 00:18:02.342
And then you don't hear Jesus Christ much anymore in the rest of the show.

275
00:18:05.653 --> 00:18:13.957
When the rapture happens, I'm wondering if God will stop time for the moment that he calls us up so that planes, cars, machines, etc.

276
00:18:14.077 --> 00:18:19.719
don't crash and cause destruction to those who will be left behind, including future believers.

277
00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:23.921
I know he has a plan, but this just has me wondering.

278
00:18:24.357 --> 00:18:26.458
No, his plan is bigger than your plan, my friend.

279
00:18:26.498 --> 00:18:34.741
His plan is so ginormous and big that, number one, no, he's not going to pause time because time itself is a law of God.

280
00:18:34.761 --> 00:18:35.822
He's not going to pause that.

281
00:18:36.322 --> 00:18:39.063
He's not going to pause and let the planes land and all that stuff.

282
00:18:40.544 --> 00:18:46.306
He will know whoever perishes on that day, God knows that...

283
00:18:48.312 --> 00:18:50.454
Those are people who do not believe in him.

284
00:18:50.474 --> 00:19:04.865
When the rapture, if you're being flown to Hawaii and a Christian captain's at the wheel or the whole cockpit is born again, everybody who perishes in that plane, God knew that by his arrangement, those people were on the right plane.

285
00:19:05.606 --> 00:19:07.588
But he's not going to pause time.

286
00:19:07.608 --> 00:19:11.031
He won't need to because God works everything out to the nth detail.

287
00:19:11.591 --> 00:19:13.132
So you won't have to worry about that.

288
00:19:13.172 --> 00:19:14.553
You don't have to think about that.

289
00:19:15.394 --> 00:19:17.956
God will manage all of those intricate things.

290
00:19:18.016 --> 00:19:25.122
It's amazing to think, isn't it, that when people get on a plane today and the plane crashes, some are saved and some are not saved.

291
00:19:25.543 --> 00:19:28.785
But in the moment of the rapture, those who are saved will be going up.

292
00:19:29.186 --> 00:19:31.547
There'll be people in a plane that will vanish.

293
00:19:31.568 --> 00:19:32.168
Right?

294
00:19:32.248 --> 00:19:36.291
Those who do not vanish are unbelievers, and they sadly will perish.

295
00:19:38.492 --> 00:19:50.200
When God told Adam that he could eat from any tree in the garden except the one in the middle, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, would Adam have known the word die and what it meant?

296
00:19:50.780 --> 00:19:56.084
How would he know what death was when he lived in a sinless world at that time?

297
00:19:56.104 --> 00:20:01.027
I believe that Adam was so incredibly perfectly smart that,

298
00:20:02.283 --> 00:20:04.924
and understood God's communication so perfectly.

299
00:20:04.984 --> 00:20:06.645
This is why their sin was so great.

300
00:20:09.026 --> 00:20:13.349
They understood God in a fashion that you and I can't even fathom.

301
00:20:13.389 --> 00:20:15.270
They walked with him in the garden.

302
00:20:16.110 --> 00:20:25.715
And so when God said, in the day that you eat of it, you will die, Adam knew exactly that God was saying, in the day that you eat of it, you will suffer spiritual death.

303
00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:30.693
Because Adam didn't die that day, neither did Eve physically, did they?

304
00:20:31.113 --> 00:20:34.816
They lived on for 900 plus years before they died.

305
00:20:36.117 --> 00:20:44.623
They knew that what God just said was, if we eat of that fruit, we will spiritually die the moment we do that.

306
00:20:46.117 --> 00:20:48.599
That is something they knew perfectly.

307
00:20:48.679 --> 00:20:53.321
You and I, we don't even, we can't even imagine what Adam understood.

308
00:20:54.082 --> 00:20:54.582
Think about it.

309
00:20:54.762 --> 00:20:56.463
To whom much is given, much is required.

310
00:20:57.124 --> 00:21:02.367
Adam and Eve, they were perfect and sinned against the will of God.

311
00:21:03.728 --> 00:21:04.008
Wow.

312
00:21:06.064 --> 00:21:10.807
When being baptized, does it matter what the person baptizing you says?

313
00:21:11.128 --> 00:21:15.190
Do they have to say in the name of Jesus, I baptize you?

314
00:21:15.350 --> 00:21:25.337
Recently, I was told that it was said, if it was said in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that you just got wet and you are not actually baptized.

315
00:21:25.918 --> 00:21:28.840
Wow, you actually heard the exact opposite thing that's true.

316
00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:29.860
Somebody lied to you.

317
00:21:31.762 --> 00:21:33.263
Jesus says in the Gospels...

318
00:21:34.478 --> 00:21:35.278
This is amazing.

319
00:21:35.378 --> 00:21:37.699
This all comes around from people not reading their Bibles.

320
00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:38.239
Watch.

321
00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:45.182
Jesus says, go out there and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

322
00:21:45.702 --> 00:21:47.523
And behold, I'm with you always.

323
00:21:49.404 --> 00:21:50.344
So here's what we do.

324
00:21:51.264 --> 00:21:52.625
When our pastors are baptizing,

325
00:21:53.520 --> 00:21:54.520
We baptize them.

326
00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:58.682
We tell them we are going to baptize you now in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

327
00:21:59.302 --> 00:22:01.162
And we baptize you now in Jesus' name.

328
00:22:01.683 --> 00:22:02.023
Amen.

329
00:22:02.923 --> 00:22:04.263
And we immerse them all the way.

330
00:22:04.323 --> 00:22:05.704
They have to be all the way immersed.

331
00:22:05.744 --> 00:22:09.705
The word baptizo in the Bible means submerged.

332
00:22:10.385 --> 00:22:12.646
And we bring them back up.

333
00:22:13.066 --> 00:22:15.667
Listen, this is a big deal.

334
00:22:17.367 --> 00:22:18.788
Just simply obey the Bible.

335
00:22:20.827 --> 00:22:22.488
Even, listen, Google knows this.

336
00:22:22.688 --> 00:22:25.309
Siri or Alexa.

337
00:22:25.329 --> 00:22:28.551
Ask Alexa.

338
00:22:29.331 --> 00:22:32.032
What does the Bible say about being baptized in whose name?

339
00:22:32.892 --> 00:22:34.553
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

340
00:22:34.573 --> 00:22:35.313
It's so simple.

341
00:22:35.934 --> 00:22:40.816
So don't let people deceive you like that.

342
00:22:40.856 --> 00:22:43.437
You're baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

343
00:22:44.517 --> 00:22:45.878
And I believe that pastor...

344
00:22:47.492 --> 00:22:50.515
should then say, and I do this in Jesus' name.

345
00:22:51.455 --> 00:22:51.735
Amen.

346
00:22:54.818 --> 00:22:57.700
Why is the tribe of Dan not listed in the book of Revelation?

347
00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:04.665
Ah, because the tribe of Dan, we cannot prove this, but Dan was always a stinker.

348
00:23:06.046 --> 00:23:09.548
Dan was always a tribe that was giving God a hard time.

349
00:23:10.789 --> 00:23:14.152
There is, and I'm sorry, this is real live stuff, no rehearsal, but,

350
00:23:15.178 --> 00:23:16.679
But go search for yourself.

351
00:23:17.260 --> 00:23:31.992
The Bible will tell you that from the tribe of Dan, there will be the riderless horse whose rider has fallen backward in the Hebrew scripture.

352
00:23:32.132 --> 00:23:38.878
And many believe that that is a reference to the Antichrist coming from the tribe of Dan.

353
00:23:38.898 --> 00:23:39.358
Okay.

354
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:53.466
It's a heavy speculation, but it is somewhat possibly applicable that someone from Dan will cause a horse to be riderless because the rider will fall backward from Dan.

355
00:23:53.726 --> 00:24:07.432
And Dan, the tribe of Dan is not mentioned because it could be that the tribe of Dan is the tribe where the Antichrist comes from, which, of course, would make him Jewish, which, of course, the Jews would never receive a non-Jew Messiah.

356
00:24:07.712 --> 00:24:08.292
That's important.

357
00:24:10.643 --> 00:24:14.904
How do we balance unity, differing views on the end times prophecy?

358
00:24:15.665 --> 00:24:21.506
Yeah, first of all, number one thing, there's always going to be views on everything.

359
00:24:24.187 --> 00:24:25.288
So what do we do about that?

360
00:24:25.948 --> 00:24:29.649
We always let the Bible be the foundation because we cannot have unity.

361
00:24:30.309 --> 00:24:32.350
Unity is ridiculous if you think about it.

362
00:24:33.875 --> 00:24:34.616
in and of itself.

363
00:24:34.756 --> 00:24:37.378
You have to ask, what are we going to be unified around?

364
00:24:37.778 --> 00:24:41.821
That's why you have a constitution or a declaration or a Mayflower compact.

365
00:24:42.181 --> 00:24:42.922
Now we got it.

366
00:24:43.582 --> 00:24:44.883
So now we're going to unify on it.

367
00:24:45.043 --> 00:24:46.084
We've got the Bible.

368
00:24:46.184 --> 00:24:49.646
We find our unity upon the truth of God.

369
00:24:50.027 --> 00:24:51.488
And then you build the structure.

370
00:24:51.548 --> 00:24:57.352
And the structure allows us to have grace and mercy toward others who do not see things like we do.

371
00:24:58.112 --> 00:24:58.293
Um,

372
00:24:59.093 --> 00:25:05.414
Listen, there's some people who believe that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are still in operation today.

373
00:25:05.854 --> 00:25:06.675
I believe that.

374
00:25:07.335 --> 00:25:16.517
But there are those who are born-again brothers and sisters who are going to heaven, and they say, oh, no, no, there's only six of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation today.

375
00:25:16.617 --> 00:25:17.517
I disagree with them.

376
00:25:17.537 --> 00:25:18.537
They disagree with me.

377
00:25:18.897 --> 00:25:20.597
But I'm never going to fight with them about it.

378
00:25:21.598 --> 00:25:23.318
I think they're wrong, and I love them.

379
00:25:23.738 --> 00:25:24.878
Same is true for the rapture.

380
00:25:25.299 --> 00:25:28.860
I think there's people who say, well, I think he's going to come at the midpoint or whatever.

381
00:25:29.060 --> 00:25:29.720
Well, whatever.

382
00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:31.421
We'll talk about it on the way up.

383
00:25:31.981 --> 00:25:33.781
But I love you, but I think you're wrong.

384
00:25:34.061 --> 00:25:35.562
And you just tolerate one another.

385
00:25:36.862 --> 00:25:37.603
Not a problem.

386
00:25:37.643 --> 00:25:39.943
We need to grow some thicker skin.

387
00:25:40.824 --> 00:25:49.466
Since life begins at conception, what happens to the babies inside pregnant unbelievers during the rapture?

388
00:25:49.606 --> 00:25:50.807
Yeah, isn't that a wild question?

389
00:25:50.847 --> 00:25:51.527
I have no idea.

390
00:25:53.712 --> 00:25:55.053
But I take issue with your question.

391
00:25:55.413 --> 00:25:56.094
Can you read it again?

392
00:25:56.414 --> 00:25:57.935
And I'll do the buzzer on you.

393
00:25:58.956 --> 00:26:00.837
At the moment of conception, life begins?

394
00:26:02.378 --> 00:26:02.858
Not true.

395
00:26:02.878 --> 00:26:07.461
At the moment of conception, an individual is created.

396
00:26:08.562 --> 00:26:11.924
But living sperm collides with living egg.

397
00:26:12.144 --> 00:26:12.825
It's all alive.

398
00:26:13.965 --> 00:26:16.267
And then a human being is then alive.

399
00:26:17.788 --> 00:26:27.255
by the explosion of information known only to God, an absolutely separate individual than the mother's person, another person is created.

400
00:26:29.717 --> 00:26:30.117
Amazing.

401
00:26:31.258 --> 00:26:34.060
The baby inside, I don't know what happens.

402
00:26:34.340 --> 00:26:35.641
The baby's innocent, that's for sure.

403
00:26:35.661 --> 00:26:36.102
I don't know.

404
00:26:36.682 --> 00:26:37.663
I don't think anybody knows.

405
00:26:38.403 --> 00:26:39.244
I would like to guess.

406
00:26:40.025 --> 00:26:44.548
It's kind of weird to say this, but I think the baby might just be gone.

407
00:26:44.568 --> 00:26:44.688
Right?

408
00:26:46.028 --> 00:26:47.769
But I can't prove it, so nobody knows.

409
00:26:47.909 --> 00:26:48.309
I don't know.

410
00:26:48.889 --> 00:26:50.190
I'm sure you'll find somebody who knows.

411
00:26:53.611 --> 00:26:54.272
Last question.

412
00:26:55.112 --> 00:26:58.974
I feel like I can't trust anything I hear on TV or social media.

413
00:26:59.274 --> 00:27:03.136
Is there a place I can get good Bible teaching and honest news?

414
00:27:05.217 --> 00:27:08.038
Well, the first thing you do is you go to the Bible.

415
00:27:09.254 --> 00:27:11.015
because I know exactly how you feel about that.

416
00:27:11.455 --> 00:27:11.975
I believe you.

417
00:27:12.055 --> 00:27:12.956
I'm like you.

418
00:27:13.616 --> 00:27:16.417
So look, we're serious about teaching the Bible.

419
00:27:16.517 --> 00:27:22.040
You can go to jackhibbs.com or the Real Life Network.

420
00:27:23.721 --> 00:27:25.141
So much materials that are there.

421
00:27:25.602 --> 00:27:32.605
And look, we're doing the best we can to be presenting to you the most perfect product possible to study the Word of God.

422
00:27:33.765 --> 00:27:34.906
And again, we're...

423
00:27:35.406 --> 00:27:40.209
We study and proclaim the Bible for what it says, not for what we want it to say.

424
00:27:40.889 --> 00:27:51.996
And then the Real Life Network, you should check it out because you should see how much vetting I do to say no to the people who want to be on the Real Life Network.

425
00:27:52.036 --> 00:27:55.018
We say no to far more people than we allow on.

426
00:27:55.858 --> 00:28:00.161
We're doing the best we can to answer that concern of yours because I have it with you.

427
00:28:02.413 --> 00:28:03.335
maybe even more so.

428
00:28:03.796 --> 00:28:05.601
Well, hey, everybody, listen, bottom line is this.

429
00:28:05.641 --> 00:28:07.164
We're done right now, rapid fire.

430
00:28:07.184 --> 00:28:09.229
But listen, the Bible is always the answer.

431
00:28:09.570 --> 00:28:12.316
If you're not getting the answers from the Bible, you're not getting answers.
