Encouraging all of 14 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.920 you that if you would like to share this with others or hit subscribe, we would 15 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.000 love for you to do that, of course. And but listen, we wound up embarking upon 16 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:23.880 an unintended unplanned trip, which is some of the greatest trips of all. When 17 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.600 you head down the street to go get a cart in a milk and you'll wind up driving 18 00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:31.840 down coast highway and the whole world changes. And that's very fun and 19 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.880 beautiful. That's what's happened regarding our topic when we're looking at 20 00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:40.800 the end times events. And where does the rapture of the church fit in? The 21 00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:45.080 reason why I'm excited about is because we received tons of mail. Can I 22 00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:49.080 call email mail, right? Just mail. I mean, nobody looked to stamp or 23 00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:53.480 anything. We got sent a bunch of mail. And this is very, very cool. And it 24 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:59.720 covered the broad spectrum of everything that you can imagine. And I have 25 00:01:59.720 --> 00:02:07.320 no doubt that we've received comments from pre and post millennialist, all 26 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:14.160 millennials for sure. We had responses from people who said there is no 27 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.920 rapture, your nuts. Some people said explain it more. I'm interested. Some 28 00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.120 people got all lathered up about it, which is hilarious. Some people said, 29 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.240 you're teaching false doctrine by teaching a pre tribulation rapture. Okay, 30 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:34.640 you need to back off the steroids or something that's insane because 31 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.040 there are great men and women of God who have taught a pre and post 32 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:45.000 tribulation rapture view. And so you need to dial it down because you've 33 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.040 kind of made that like your little cult thing. Okay, so you don't want to do 34 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:53.280 that. The bottom line is, if you're trusting in the blood of Jesus Christ to 35 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.280 get you to heaven and plus nothing else, if you've repented of your sins and 36 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.640 made him the Lord and savior of your life, in other words, are you following 37 00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:07.360 Jesus today? Are you obeying him? Okay, pre, mid or post rapture view that you 38 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.200 might have is irrelevant compared to when the rapture takes place, you're 39 00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:17.080 going to go up or when you slip on a banana, fall and break your neck and die, 40 00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:21.920 you're going to go see him. So let's just remember that we can debate and argue 41 00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:27.920 beautifully the placement of the rapture. But reason why we brought this up is 42 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:32.920 because I personally have no doubt when the rapture is not the day or the hour 43 00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:36.800 that's only a lunatic would see such a thing. Nobody knows that. Nobody knows 44 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.840 the day or the hour. But I used to be, as I mentioned before in the previous 45 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.880 podcast, I used to be a post tribulationist. And that's a hard sell. It was tough, 46 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.160 spent about three years doing that. And you got to really mess around with the 47 00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:54.200 identity of Israel. You got to mess around with the identity of the church. 48 00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:59.160 And you've got to redefine words like wrath. You've got to redefine certain 49 00:03:59.160 --> 00:04:04.920 words like indignation. And it's a hard sell. So that shouldn't offend any of 50 00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:08.800 you. That's one of the things I'm grateful about this particular podcast is 51 00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:12.720 that it's really ruffled some feathers. And I don't want to ruffle your feathers 52 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.000 to be ruffling feathers. I want to, if ruffle in your feathers leads you to 53 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.200 greater Bible study, then this is awesome. Okay. So listen, we're going to jump 54 00:04:25.200 --> 00:04:29.840 in here and, and here's where we're going to start with this. Everybody get 55 00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:37.800 ready. Write it down if you would. The Cummins plural of Jesus Christ. There's 56 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.760 only two. I want you to write this down. The Cummins. Number one and number 57 00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:50.880 two are found in Daniel chapter nine. Daniel chapter nine, more specifically 58 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:59.840 Daniel nine versus 24 to 27. Okay. So watch first coming Jesus comes on 59 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:06.520 anybody know? Anybody know? Palm Sunday Palm Sunday was the first coming of 60 00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:10.720 Jesus Christ. Remember, we said this before, not the baby born in Bethlehem. 61 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.880 That's not his first coming. His first coming is when he's presented to Israel 62 00:05:15.880 --> 00:05:22.240 as king. He comes riding on the back in the first coming on the little donkey. 63 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:28.600 Zachariah nine nine. The fulfillment of that. He presents himself as king. It's 64 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.960 the only time in Jesus' earthly ministry where he allows himself to be 65 00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:39.720 acknowledged and worshiped as king. The spectators who are there on Palm 66 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:46.080 Sunday are laying down their garments and palm branches, shouting and praising 67 00:05:46.280 --> 00:05:50.640 Hosanna, Hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Now, this is 68 00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:55.320 critical friends. Listen, take a deep breath, calm down some of you, tie this 69 00:05:55.320 --> 00:06:04.080 together. Jesus said as they were rejoicing, he's weeping. Jesus says in Matthew 70 00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:09.960 23, he says, Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, if you'd only known this day, the 71 00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:15.480 peace that awaits you, but you are not willing for behold, your house is left 72 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.040 you desolate. He no doubt pointed to the temple to the left hand side as he's 73 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.800 coming down the mound of olives. Your house is left you desolate. And you won't 74 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.560 see me again until you say blessed is see who comes in the name of the Lord. 75 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.760 Class, who did he say that to? Where was he at? And what event is he 76 00:06:35.760 --> 00:06:43.520 referencing? In the middle of his first coming down the all of it or the mound 77 00:06:43.520 --> 00:06:50.360 of olives, he announces, you failed to recognize today was a day that Daniel 78 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:55.320 spoke to you about you missed it. No, not everybody missed it, but the national 79 00:06:55.320 --> 00:07:02.800 leaders, the religious leaders, they missed it. When he says you're not going to 80 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.840 see me again until you bless until you say blessed is you who comes in the name 81 00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:13.240 of the Lord. That is taken right out of the book of Psalms. And Jesus says the 82 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:18.600 ultimate fulfillment of that is going to be when you see me coming again from 83 00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:25.200 this mountain top on the back of a horse this time, I will not be coming back 84 00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:29.720 fulfilling Zechariah 9.9. I'm going to be coming back fulfilling the ladder 85 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:35.960 end of the book of Isaiah. And I'm going to be coming back mound of olives 86 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:41.880 coming out of the east toward the west, which is fascinating. That's exactly 87 00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:46.560 how it's set up in Israel. And he says, when that happens, my foot, for 88 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.640 example, is going to touch the mound of olives, it's going to split into. And 89 00:07:50.640 --> 00:07:57.200 I'm going to enter in through the triumphal gate or the eastern gate. And he 90 00:07:57.200 --> 00:08:05.320 is going to be hailed by the believing Jews in that moment. At that time, when 91 00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:08.680 they cry out and say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Here he 92 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:15.680 is. So the first coming as a physical coming of Jesus Christ on an animal 93 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.400 presented as king to Jerusalem, which is in Israel. Everybody got that? To the 94 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:32.880 Jewish people. Get out some water, please. Thank you. The second coming is very 95 00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:39.040 much the same way. Comes to the nation of Israel, comes to the city of 96 00:08:39.040 --> 00:08:45.280 Jerusalem, comes to the Jewish people, presents himself as king, establishes 97 00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:50.320 his kingdom. Why? He must sit on the throne of David for how long? Anybody 98 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.480 know? In fact, it's so important that if Jesus does not sit on the throne of 99 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.440 David, in Jerusalem is where it's at. Then we've got the wrong Jesus. Of course, 100 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.360 I'm being sarcastic. We've got the right Jesus. But this is very important. 101 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:12.480 Establish this first coming physical to Israel, the Jew. Second coming, 102 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:19.520 physical return to Israel and to the Jew. You got that? Both deal with his kingship. 103 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:28.400 Both deal with his establishment of his kingdom. The grand pause is these last 2000 years. 104 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:36.480 Between those two events has been 2000 years. And what that means is what we know from 105 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.040 the Bible, from the epistles, from the book of Acts, from the entire New Testament. 106 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:47.600 In fact, Old Testament as well, is this is the church age period of time. 107 00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:55.840 This is where God has been gathering together to himself a people who, the scripture says in Isaiah, 108 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:03.600 a people who were not his people, who God says, you will become my people and I will become your 109 00:10:04.400 --> 00:10:10.720 referencing the Gentile world. And hello, say hi to you if you're if you're one who trusts in 110 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:19.120 the Lord Jesus Christ. So let's make very, very important separation to physical 111 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:26.480 comings to Israel in bodily form. The nation has got to be in existence for both of them. 112 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:34.160 There's got to be Jews in Israel for that to take place. And that's extremely, extremely 113 00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:40.960 necessary. There's no moving around that. If you start to jostle the meaning of who are what is 114 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:46.960 Israel and you begin to replace it with the church, you've got serious problems in your theology 115 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:55.600 that leads you to a post tribulation conclusion. And that's unfortunate. A little bit about this. 116 00:10:57.520 --> 00:11:05.600 Jesus says that and the apostles teach that there is something called what we would say is our 117 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:12.480 gathering together to him. Jesus introduces it first in John 14. We covered that in the first three 118 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.640 verses. Jesus says, I'm going away. I'm going to prepare a place for you. And I'm going to come 119 00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:27.200 back and I'm going to pick you up and take you where I have been. Read John 14, 1, 2, and 3. Again, 120 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.880 many of you who commented and criticized and said, there's no rapture. You didn't even mention 121 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:40.000 John 14. Of course, you're not because that that disrupts your view. Listen, we want the Bible to 122 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.800 shape our view. We don't want to have our view shape the Bible. This is very, very important. 123 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:51.280 So he's going to take us to that place that he's been preparing for us. I would simply ask you this, 124 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:59.680 when does that happen? How does it happen? Where are we going? You have to answer that. How, when, 125 00:12:00.400 --> 00:12:06.080 and where are we going? The pre-tribulation rapture views, the only view that makes that 126 00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:12.560 fit with all other views are with all other, I should say, representations of scripture. 127 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:20.160 That's why listen, even a pre-rath or mid-trib, it doesn't fit right for this reason. The seven 128 00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:29.760 years, remember this, Jesus wrote into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday at the end of the 483rd year, 129 00:12:29.760 --> 00:12:37.520 prophesied in Daniel chapter 9, verses 24 to 27. When Israel rejected Jesus as Messiah, 130 00:12:37.520 --> 00:12:43.840 I'm putting it bluntly and I'm paraphrasing it, he went away. He said he's not going to come back 131 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:55.920 to Israel until the time is for him to return to Israel. What is that? The 490 years minus 132 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:03.200 removing 483 years leaves seven years. Some of you struggled with that. You see, it can't be seven 133 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:08.720 years. It doesn't matter what you say, it's seven years. Yeah, but I might theologize this way. 134 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:14.480 I don't care what your theology says. It's seven years. The Bible says it's seven years. There's 135 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:23.120 the first half of 42 months, the second half of 42 months, or 1,260 days, and another 1,260 days. 136 00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:31.120 The Bible is so specific that in the middle of that, so think about this, on the 1,260 first 137 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.120 day, we know that that's the day that the Antichrist enters the temple in Jerusalem and declares 138 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.040 himself to be God. And that's when, so to speak, all hell breaks loose on earth. That's the second 139 00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:52.240 half of the Tribulation period, which is a horrific time that Jesus says it's a time so violent. 140 00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:57.120 And so demonically energized and so filled with a 141 00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:03.200 Antichrist age led by the Antichrist himself, but predominantly really Satan 142 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:08.640 living out his wishes through the Antichrist and the false prophet that Jesus said, 143 00:14:08.640 --> 00:14:13.200 if he didn't return at the end of that seven years, there'd be no flesh left on earth. That's all 144 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.880 bad it's going to be. It's for that reason. Some people have said, so see, we are in the church 145 00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:27.200 isn't the first 3.5 years because it's okay. It's not okay. The first 3.5 years is a time of great 146 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:35.280 deception because the Holy Spirit would have stepped aside. Second Thessalonians 2, the Holy Spirit 147 00:14:35.280 --> 00:14:40.800 steps aside. He doesn't go anywhere by the way. He doesn't leave the earth. He steps aside. 148 00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:46.720 And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his 149 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.560 mouth and the brightness of his coming, the Antichrist? So the first 3.5 years is a time of the 150 00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:59.840 earth being judged by demonic influence via the Antichrist, a man who will arise out of what we 151 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:07.680 understand is the revised ancient Roman Empire simply because Daniel's description throughout the 152 00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:14.720 book of Daniel is this guy, the little horn is going to arise from the entity of the two 153 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:21.360 legs of Daniel's image of this great statue, the Eastern and Western empires, uh, uh, 154 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:31.280 flanks of the Roman Empire. So remember, please, the seven years in total is judgment on the earth. 155 00:15:32.160 --> 00:15:39.600 It's just a phased judgment. The upfront is deception by prosperity and peace and the second half 156 00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:46.480 is by extreme violence and plagues being poured out upon a Christ rejecting world, right? 157 00:15:47.040 --> 00:15:52.320 So let's talk about something that is very, very key. Mark it down please. It's the Olivet 158 00:15:52.320 --> 00:16:06.400 Discourse. The Olivet Discourse is found in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13, Olivet Discourse. 159 00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:14.960 Why is it important? It's super important because nowhere in the Olivet Discourse is the church 160 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:24.080 nowhere. Almost every eschatologist I have studied and looked at, even those who view it differently 161 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:30.080 in a mid or post tribulational rapture view, they struggle. They have a hard time. It's, it's books, 162 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:35.680 it's books like this one where uh, Dr. John Wolverid addresses the rapture question, when is it? 163 00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:43.920 Is it pre? Is it mid? Is it post? He gives arguments for all the views. He, he represents all the 164 00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:50.560 teams that are in question, their arguments. It's uh, by the way, it's pretty exhaustive. It's a fine 165 00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:57.200 print, but uh, it's a great work. And that's Dr. John Wolverid. By the way, you can get this at 166 00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.200 Jackibs.com. I don't get any money for it. You, you need to know that. Jackibs.com, you could order 167 00:17:03.280 --> 00:17:07.920 today the rapture question and get it out to you right away because it represents all the views 168 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:13.360 and he gives reasons, pros and cons. It's very great. It's very balanced. But the Olivet Discourse, 169 00:17:13.360 --> 00:17:23.840 you guys, uh, has to deal with, listen, Christ second coming to Israel, to Jerusalem, 170 00:17:24.800 --> 00:17:34.080 regarding the Jew and the temple. There's no mention of the church. There's no mention of the 171 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:40.720 church in that whatsoever. So listen, a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned in a sermon that I was 172 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.040 giving that what the, what you and I were seen right now in the world around us is what we would 173 00:17:45.040 --> 00:17:51.040 call is what I said was Braxton Hicks, constructions, contractions. Those of you who have been pregnant 174 00:17:51.840 --> 00:18:02.160 and your, your, your, your uterus, your physiology, your body began to go through a workout program 175 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.720 called Braxton Hicks. You're not giving birth. You're not even ready to give birth. 176 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.200 But your body starts working out the vital muscles and tissues getting ready for delivery. 177 00:18:13.520 --> 00:18:21.600 It's not, it's not birth time. It's not technically birth pains. It's the body putting it 178 00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:28.160 itself through isn't it? Isn't God amazing that he made your body to do this? Ladies, women, females, 179 00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:39.040 okay? XX, right? X chromosome. Your body starts going into a workout to get ready to give birth. 180 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:45.760 Right now in this world today, we are seeing Braxton Hicks contractions, the formation of a 181 00:18:45.760 --> 00:18:51.920 global governance, digital currencies, borderless world being talked about, world economic 182 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:58.320 form and all the stuff that that they want to speak about. So you guys, one of the things I want 183 00:18:58.320 --> 00:19:04.320 to point out, it's very important to all of us is that and just answer this and I'm lovingly 184 00:19:04.320 --> 00:19:12.800 being sarcastic. Did Jesus go away? The answer is yes. Why did he go away? That's a great question. 185 00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:20.560 Can you answer that question? Why did Jesus go away? That's a very important question for you to 186 00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:35.360 answer. Did he say he would come back? Why is he coming back? So if this helps, I'm going to do it 187 00:19:35.360 --> 00:19:44.880 this way and if we've made mention of this before, see the umbrella, I'm holding up, it's an umbrella. 188 00:19:45.840 --> 00:19:58.560 So the first coming would be here. Okay? I'll say the rapture is in the middle. 189 00:20:00.560 --> 00:20:11.200 Okay? Second coming is at the end. John tells us that these are the last days. John, 190 00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:18.160 way back then 2000 years ago, the last days. But when we talk about the first and second coming, 191 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:25.280 we're talking about it being under an umbrella of the coming of the Lord. And so what I want you guys 192 00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:30.160 to be thinking about, because we'll pick this up next time around. I want you to go study this. 193 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:38.160 This is very, very important. In fact, let's read it. I want you to answer this question. 194 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:49.440 In the community of believers, how about this? Those, those who make it to heaven, what are they 195 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:56.160 wearing? What do they wear? And you're going to immediately shout out white robes and you are 196 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:06.160 correct to a point. Old Testament saints get white robes. There's no doubt about it. The tribulation 197 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:10.800 saints who die for their faith during the tribe, most of them are beheaded. They get white robes. 198 00:21:11.760 --> 00:21:17.360 But there is that group, the Bible mentions, they don't get robes. There's a group that gets fine 199 00:21:17.360 --> 00:21:22.720 white linen, clean and bright. Completely different word. In fact, listen up. You guys want to 200 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:33.440 look at it later? Look up Strong's number, Strong's. Strong's number G 1039. Strong's number G 1039, 201 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:42.000 which relates to the church or in fine white linen, clean and bright versus or in contrast to 202 00:21:42.800 --> 00:21:57.280 G 3588 or G 4749. That's G 3588 or G 4749 refers to robes. There's a difference. Why is there a 203 00:21:57.280 --> 00:22:04.960 difference? Because the bride of Christ doesn't wear robes. She wears a wedding gown. She wears fine 204 00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:12.800 linen, clean and bright. Those that die or are experiencing the great tribulation period 205 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:20.640 and the seven years referred to in the Olivet Discourse, they're wearing robes. The church is 206 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:26.480 nowhere to be found. That is a very, very important point to keep in mind. Listen up everybody and I 207 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.760 know we're running shorter in time. I hate the fact that these things just supposed to be 20 minutes. 208 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:38.000 Revelation 19 verse 1, after these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven 209 00:22:39.760 --> 00:22:44.320 saying, hallelujah, salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God, 210 00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:49.040 for true and righteous are his judgments. Interesting. They're in heaven and they're talking 211 00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:54.160 about God's being, God is awesome and so are his judgments. They're righteous because he has 212 00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:59.360 judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication. The false religious system 213 00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:06.320 that the Antichrist uses to gain his foothold into a spiritualized world. It's going to be a false, 214 00:23:06.320 --> 00:23:17.760 I'll just say it's a false church and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants shed by her. 215 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:28.000 So whoever's talking is not them, right? They're saying praise God. God is, he's the Lord has 216 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:32.560 stepped up right now and he's executing judgment on those who killed his servants. 217 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:40.320 And again they said, hallelujah and her smoke rises up forever and ever and the 24 elders who 218 00:23:40.320 --> 00:23:45.520 I'll say represent the church for a reason, not for this podcast. And the four living creatures 219 00:23:45.520 --> 00:23:51.920 fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne saying, amen, hallelujah, then a voice came from 220 00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:58.080 the throne saying praise our God, all you his servants and those who fear him both small and great 221 00:23:58.080 --> 00:24:03.360 verse six. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude as the sound of many waters 222 00:24:03.360 --> 00:24:08.560 and as the sound of mighty thunderines, that's pretty awesome. Saying, hallelujah for the Lord, 223 00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:16.640 God omnipotent rains, let us be glad and rejoice and give him glory. How come? Why for the marriage 224 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:25.680 of the lamb has come and his wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be a raid 225 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:32.720 and fine linen, clean and bright for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Listen up, 226 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:40.080 saints of the Old Testament, saints of the tribulation period, and the church age believers are called 227 00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:46.560 saints, the bride of Christ, she's wearing fine linen. There are various categories of saints. 228 00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:52.640 Please remember that. Verse nine, then he said to me, right, blessed are those who are called to the 229 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:58.160 marriage supper of the lamb. I love this. Listen carefully everybody. Though blessed are those who are 230 00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:04.480 called to the marriage supper or invited to the marriage supper of the lamb. And he said to me, 231 00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:10.800 these are the true saints of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, 232 00:25:11.520 --> 00:25:16.320 see that you do not do that for I am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the 233 00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:23.600 testimony of Jesus worship God for the testimony of Jesus as the spirit of prophecy. If your church 234 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.920 doesn't teach Bible prophecy, get out of it. Go find one that does. So listen, there's a fellow 235 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:38.160 servant talking to John about what John is seeing in heaven and what's happening. John is looking 236 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:46.240 at the 24 elders. He's seen the saints that have been prepared by their righteousness, which is 237 00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:52.240 the fine linen, clean and bright. Check it out. Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage 238 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.840 supper of the lamb. I'm going to submit to you something you've never maybe never thought about 239 00:25:55.840 --> 00:26:08.480 before. Brides and grooms are never invited to their own weddings. In fact, there is no wedding 240 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:16.080 without a bride and groom. There is no wedding without Jesus and the church. So who's invited? 241 00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:21.680 You're not it. Listen, if you're a believer today, you're not invited. You are the you are the 242 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:27.040 service. You are the celebration. I am the celebration. I'm not invited to it. It can't happen 243 00:26:27.040 --> 00:26:37.280 without me. Now I saw and have now John says I saw heaven open and behold a white horse and he 244 00:26:37.280 --> 00:26:42.800 was sat on it was called faithful and true. And in righteousness, he judges and makes war. This 245 00:26:42.800 --> 00:26:47.600 is awesome. Listen to this. His eyes were like flame of fire on his head where many crowns. 246 00:26:47.600 --> 00:26:53.440 And yet a name that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood. You 247 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:58.960 want to know why? Read Isaiah. Read the last six chapters of the book of Isaiah. Jesus, 248 00:26:59.760 --> 00:27:08.000 while we're in heaven, Jesus will intermittently execute judgment and defense of the nation of Israel 249 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:15.280 while we're in heaven. Go read Isaiah 26 verses 19 to 21. And he was clothed with a robe dipped in 250 00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:23.040 blood in his name on it was the word of God. Watch verse 14 and the armies in heaven clothed in fine 251 00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:32.880 linen. That's so crystal clear. White and clean followed him on white horses. That's us. Notice 252 00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:40.000 we're in heaven. How do we get there? So cool. Are you guys getting this? Listen, right now a 253 00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:47.360 truth is slapping up against your denominational teachings. Don't come to the Bible with a preconceived 254 00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:56.560 preloaded ideology or theology. Let God's word speak to you. This is so cool. And he himself tri- oh 255 00:27:56.560 --> 00:28:02.080 sorry, I just skipped a spot. Not a good thing to do. Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword that 256 00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:06.960 with it he should strike the nations. This is the judgment of Christ in the second coming. 257 00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:13.520 And he himself will rule them with a rod of iron. So do we. That's also mentioned of us. 258 00:28:13.520 --> 00:28:19.440 He himself treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. And he has on his 259 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:26.000 robe and on his thigh a name written King of kings and Lord of lords. Verse 17, then I saw an angel 260 00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:32.160 standing in the sun and he carried with a loud he cried out with a loud voice saying to all the birds 261 00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.480 that fly in the midst of heaven. So all the birds in the atmosphere in the air come and gather 262 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:41.120 together for the supper of the great God that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of 263 00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:46.160 captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of 264 00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:51.840 all people. That's nations free and slave, both small and great. This is the judgment at the 265 00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:59.040 second coming. And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth and the armies gathered together to 266 00:28:59.040 --> 00:29:07.920 make war against him who sat on the horse and against his army. That's us. When's that second coming? 267 00:29:10.320 --> 00:29:15.840 Then the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence by 268 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:20.400 which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped the image. 269 00:29:21.280 --> 00:29:25.440 And those were cast into the lake of fire burning with brimstone and the rest of 270 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:30.640 were not killed. I'm sorry, the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of 271 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:36.880 him. Jesus who sat in the horse and all the birds were filled with their flesh. Read the old 272 00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:42.080 a New Testament accounts of what happens when Christ the Messiah returns. He gathers the nations 273 00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:51.120 together in the valley of Jehosephat and those that are condemned are consumed by the flesh-eating 274 00:29:51.120 --> 00:29:59.760 birds. Revelation 20, you can keep reading going on there where we get into the deeper things of 275 00:29:59.760 --> 00:30:06.800 the judgment of Christ, the millennial age and the final doom of Satan. That's Revelation 19. It's 276 00:30:06.800 --> 00:30:15.040 very, very critical. Your homework right now is to figure out who's in heaven with Jesus while 277 00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:23.440 the earth is being slammed by the seal judgments, the trumpet judgments and the bowl judgments. 278 00:30:25.760 --> 00:30:30.960 And at the end of the bowl judgments comes the 279 00:30:31.520 --> 00:30:38.400 awesome and terrifying day of the Lord. And we're going to end on this because we've got 280 00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:42.400 way too long. We'll pick this up next time. Somebody needs to mark that down. 281 00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:51.280 If you read 2nd Thessalonians 2, people get confused and they freak out. But number one, Paul 282 00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:56.560 wrote 2nd Thessalonians 2 because people were freaking out in Thessalonica because they thought 283 00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:00.960 they had missed the rapture and that they were in the tribulation period. Paul wrote them a 284 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:08.000 second letter explaining and saying this, the day of the day of Jesus Christ is going to happen 285 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:14.160 first, the day of Christ and the day of the Lord begins. This is what he's talking about 2nd 286 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:20.320 Thessalonians 2. Watch. We don't know when the rapture takes place, but when it happens, 287 00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:24.320 when the day of Christ takes place, the day of Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ, 288 00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:32.720 that's the rapture. In the next millisecond, the day of the Lord begins. It's the rapture, 289 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:41.440 the day of Jesus for the church, fulfilling John 14. When that happens, it starts the clock ticking 290 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:47.440 called the day of the Lord and it goes all the way out for the 7 years in total and all the way 291 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:54.000 out through the end of the millennium, the thousand years. We're at a time. Man, I hope you guys 292 00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:59.360 join us next time, gather people together. Let's just go for this. Let's just let's keep going until 293 00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:06.560 until we're done on this. But I apologize for the lack of time. You guys remember, let people know, 294 00:32:06.560 --> 00:32:12.880 get this podcast bumped up there. We need to let people know at the woke media world that people 295 00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:18.000 care about this time. So if you like it, please like it. And if you share it, please do share it 296 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:23.280 as many people as possible. But we believe strongly that it's time, it's time to live out your life, 297 00:32:23.280 --> 00:32:29.840 it's time to live what you believe in. And thus we say it's time for real life. Okay, 298 00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:31.280 God bless you guys. Until next time. 299 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:40.320 This Jack Kemp's podcast, as well as all the broadcast outreach opportunities are 300 00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:48.000 listener supported.
