3 00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:19.360 When it comes to the rapture and the second coming there's a great difference and a lot 4 00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:22.160 of people today are saying that there's no difference. 5 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.840 No the difference, no the difference. 6 00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:33.240 You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackkibs.com slash podcast. 7

books and so when I'm reading these great saints 14 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:07.560 of yesterday I have books that are two three four five hundred year old authors. 15 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.920 When you read guys who for example great scholars five hundred years ago when they look 16 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:18.360 at Jesus's words about the temple or when they look at Daniel chapter 9 you should hear 17 00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:19.360 what they have to say. 18 00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:21.240 It makes no sense. 19 00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:26.920 You want to know why they were so far back that they didn't see clearly up ahead. 20 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.440 Time is linear people on a line. 21 00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:31.440 Think of it. 22 00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:34.920 Time begins and time ends and you know it's cool about this we know that that's true even 23 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.040 in physics. 24 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.640 Time is a physical aspect of physics. 25 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.160 You can tamper with time. 26 00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:42.840 It's weird. 27 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:49.160 Time begins and time ends on a linear scale and somewhere along the line somebody lived 28 00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:54.520 in somebody wrote a book and for their day at their time they had a understanding from 29 00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:56.280 their perspective. 30 00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.360 Now those of us who live in the 21st century are way further down on that timeline with 31 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:01.360 Bible open. 32 00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:09.880 For example Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27 mark it down is the lock and key of understanding 33 00:02:09.880 --> 00:02:11.720 all Bible prophecy. 34 00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:14.240 Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to 27. 35 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:18.720 If you don't read Daniel 9 24 to 27 you'll never understand the book of Revelation. 36 00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:23.880 Eight no way. 37 00:02:23.880 --> 00:02:29.240 It's from those few verses of that book that it announces to us that Israel will come back 38 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.160 into their own land. 39 00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:34.440 Israel will someday in the last days have a temple again. 40 00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:42.040 That the Messiah will come but he's going to be killed but not because he did anything wrong. 41 00:02:42.040 --> 00:02:46.960 It tells us that another one will come after they reject him and they will accept an 42 00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:50.040 imposter. 43 00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:55.240 It's Daniel 9 24 to 27 that tells us in the middle of the seven year true religion period 44 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.880 he breaks the treaty he makes for Israel. 45 00:02:57.880 --> 00:03:01.080 That's all testament doctrine people. 46 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.960 We understand that now because Israel is a nation again. 47 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:14.400 The wheels are turning and we're further down on that linear scale now toward the end and 48 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.320 it's an amazing time to be alive church family. 49 00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:23.480 Daniel chapter 12 verse 4 says this Daniel 12 for listen to this says but you owe Daniel 50 00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:29.080 shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end watch this scholars because 51 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.040 here comes a qualifying statement many shall run to and fro and now that shall be increased 52 00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:38.560 translation Daniel what I just showed you just lock it up. 53 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:43.400 Just lock it up you're not going to get it people are not going to understand it. 54 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.960 People won't be able to figure it out until we get closer to the end oh by the way Daniel 55 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.000 here's one of the clues by the way for people who wind up reading this in the end. 56 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.560 In English it says men will travel to and fro. 57 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:05.240 The Hebrew word is men will travel quickly and broadly fast and far and knowledge shall 58 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:13.440 be increased exponential knowledge here then here then here and it's really cool because 59 00:04:13.440 --> 00:04:19.200 the more time goes by the greater the doubling up of knowledge gets would you get that idea 60 00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:23.640 from Bible. 61 00:04:23.640 --> 00:04:28.680 Remarkable greater understanding as we get further down the road who would have for example 62 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:33.920 who would have ever thought that it'd be a good idea to zero out all the global economies 63 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:43.360 and currencies and make it just one numerical system and make it cashless human trafficking 64 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.080 is a problem what are we going to do about that how do we stop drug and not all the what 65 00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:56.440 do we do remove remove currencies and you'll end it all it's brilliant the Bible tells 66 00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:02.480 us that's how a false Messiah is going to come on the scene and deceive the world. 67 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:07.980 Now we hear talk in fact I was talking to my Israeli friends just this last week and 68 00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:13.520 Israel is considering now nobody they're considering it maybe now no one coming to Israel 69 00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:19.280 without having an Israeli vaccination because they trust theirs and they don't trust ours 70 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:26.920 I get it listen what if the whole world says yeah that's right you can't come to Canada 71 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:33.080 without a vaccine and then Australia says yeah you can come down under either well what 72 00:05:33.080 --> 00:05:38.720 if the whole world says you can't come okay well ladies and gentlemen that's not the 73 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.800 mark of the beast that's preparing people for it do you understand because there could 74 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.080 be five other things that come down the road before that time ever comes I'm getting down 75 00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:55.040 a road that we shouldn't go down right now we have clear understanding number five darkness 76 00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.120 I'm talking about the moral decay and decadence and evil that is rampant in our world today so 77 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:06.080 yeah it's always been bad listen not only is it not been this bad I equate the times that we're 78 00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:11.520 living in it sounds like they're almost similar to or equal with as it was in the days of Noah 79 00:06:11.520 --> 00:06:25.280 aberrant sexuality violence the Bible says there was violence continually remember Jesus said 80 00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:33.040 it's going to get worse as we approach those times increasing darkness I'm sorry to pain you 81 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:42.080 on this beautiful morning but we won't be here long on this I am dumbfounded stupified of this 82 00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:54.560 world's unwillingness to address evil you you pick the topic and those that are supposed to be 83 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:04.160 gatekeepers of truth turn to blind eye if it's dialing 911 to the Supreme Court to apparent turn 84 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:18.560 to blind eye shocking increasing darkness where there's this absolute unified determination to 85 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:28.480 suppress good the things that the things that we're fighting just this church we're just a little 86 00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:31.840 nothing we're not even a blip on the radar you think about the things that we have to fight to 87 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:41.840 keep our messages online these days now the enemy is the social media zars why because when 88 00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:48.480 you don't have a real message of your own you're terrified by truth john adam said truth or facts 89 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:55.120 are stubborn things and when you can't cope with facts you have to make things up and listen please 90 00:07:55.120 --> 00:08:03.920 I hope all of you learned this last week and half long effect check that now we know who owns the 91 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:14.800 fact checking apps hello now oh Franklin Graham praise a prayer and the fact checkers said we fact 92 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:21.440 check his prayer it's not correct that's not what God meant when he said that can you believe this 93 00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:26.800 listen you don't know what's true unless it's in the Bible 94 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:34.480 and if you can get a good book by a dead guy then read it because if it's a good book by a living 95 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:40.880 guy I'm a little bit nervous because he's still alive he could change his mind the Bible's not 96 00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:50.080 changing I say a five verse twenty says what sorrow waits those who say that evil is good and good 97 00:08:50.080 --> 00:09:00.400 is evil that dark is light and light is dark that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter what sorrow 98 00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:07.680 awaits those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever approaching is the 99 00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:14.640 greater hope church family tightest two thirteen a verse I often quote because it's one of my life 100 00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:22.320 verses it's undeniable it says looking for the blessed hope the word looking here is in the 101 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:29.200 active present it means that we are as believers we are to be doing our jobs living our lives being 102 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.400 who we are doing what God has called us to do and the whole time we're doing it we are looking for 103 00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:39.840 the blessed hope what does that mean we're looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing 104 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:47.600 of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ is the Bible wow anytime now any moment now any moment 105 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:56.000 anytime because remember he can come for us at any time so we're going to run through some things 106 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:05.600 hang on in the doctrine of eschatology within the study of theology 107 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:16.720 people who are lazy I believe in my opinion lazy and pre formulated by others can approach the 108 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:24.800 Bible with a bias and you can come out saying that this is how I view it rather than letting the 109 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:34.800 Bible speak to you just let it talk to you you must understand church that God calls the bride of 110 00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:43.040 Christ the church in the Bible a mystery he never says that Israel is a mystery did you know that 111 00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:53.200 he calls Israel his people his nation are you with me the Bible draws a clear distinction between 112 00:10:53.200 --> 00:11:03.440 the church which is predominantly Gentile and Israel there is no national judgment or anything 113 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:10.800 like that regarding the church there's only individual judgment for the church or scrutiny of 114 00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:16.400 Christ but there is national judgment for the nation of Israel this is important to know because 115 00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:20.960 when it comes to the rapture and the second coming there's a great difference and a lot of people 116 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:27.600 today are saying that there's no difference and frankly that comes from lazy theology so we can't 117 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:32.800 fix the world in five minutes but we're going to try are you ready get ready know the difference 118 00:11:33.680 --> 00:11:38.800 know the difference number one let's look at this on the screen the greater hope is this so A 119 00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:45.120 will equal church B will equal Israel number one number one A at the rapture Jesus appears in the 120 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:52.160 atmosphere to receive his church only in the second coming Jesus returns to Israel with his church 121 00:11:52.400 --> 00:12:01.600 these are lifted right from passages of scripture number two at the rapture all church age believers go 122 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:08.240 up to meet Christ at the second coming all church age believers come down with Christ number three 123 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:16.720 at the rapture Christians are taken to the father's house Jesus said at the second coming Christians 124 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:24.160 return from the father's house revelation 19 number four at the rapture there is no judgment on 125 00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:32.640 earth at the second coming Christ comes to judge all the nations of the earth number five at the 126 00:12:32.640 --> 00:12:39.200 rapture only the church sees and hears Christ appearing at the second coming unbelievers will see 127 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:47.680 and hear Christ returning number six at the rapture the timing is imminent and sudden at the 128 00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:54.720 second coming the timing is chronological and sequential seven at the rapture there are no 129 00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:01.520 prerequisite events or signs required at the second coming multiple prerequisites and signs 130 00:13:01.520 --> 00:13:09.280 are required eight at the rapture the church is the focal point at the second coming Israel is the 131 00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:17.280 focal point nine at the rapture there is great joy and comfort at the second coming there is great 132 00:13:17.280 --> 00:13:25.440 weeping and sorrow ten at the rapture all believers are suddenly changed at the second coming 133 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:32.960 no believers are suddenly changed 11 at the rapture there is no mention of Satan being bound at the 134 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:44.480 second coming Satan is bound for a thousand years and all God's people said 13 oh 12 at the rapture 135 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:50.400 God's promise to deliver the church from his wrath is fulfilled at the second coming God's 136 00:13:50.400 --> 00:13:57.120 promise wrath is fulfilled 13 the church is taken up to heaven and the rapture and judged at the 137 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:03.440 beam of seat that's the Olympic seat a gold silver bronze in heaven that's the word beam that's 138 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.200 where it comes from from the Olympics of his of first century at the second coming all nations 139 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:14.080 are judged at Jerusalem the Bible says it has to happen in Jerusalem according to the book of 140 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:21.600 Jewel and Zechariah number 14 at the rapture the seven-year tribulation period begins at the 141 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:28.080 second coming the seven-year tribulation period ends 15 at the rapture there is no marriage feast 142 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:34.400 of the lamb in heaven at the second coming there is marriage feast of the lamb on earth that is 143 00:14:34.400 --> 00:14:38.960 debated by some scholars I commend you to Dr. John Woolford on that it's an amazing study 144 00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:43.920 what's the point point is that there's a difference this is the first time listen are you sitting 145 00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:50.720 down this is huge what I'm about to say since 1948 this is the first time the church and Israel 146 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.800 has co-existed for the first time in history that's how close we are because God is just about 147 00:14:56.800 --> 00:15:04.240 ready to put his eyes back on Israel that's a remarkable thing and listen we do end with this 148 00:15:04.880 --> 00:15:12.240 approaching is the one matter or the one the the most important matter of our time today 149 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:23.280 this is what matters and it is this that as God looks upon time the scriptures tell us that whenever 150 00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:29.440 we hear the gospel we are now responsible for it no matter what I've said prior to this moment 151 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:36.160 this now becomes the most important thing and the most important thing said the bible says that 152 00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:41.200 Jesus Christ according to the Old Testament scriptures came born of a virgin died on a cross for 153 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:47.520 our sins and rose again from the dead and left an empty tomb in Jerusalem having been resurrected 154 00:15:47.520 --> 00:15:57.280 from the dead by his sacrifice by his offering his past over our sins are forgiven in the bible says 155 00:15:57.280 --> 00:16:01.280 Jesus Christ said himself I am the way the truth in the life and no man can come from the father 156 00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:09.840 but through man he's the only way this is the most important thing that you cannot save yourself 157 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:14.480 you cannot be good enough the moment you find out how amazing God is you realize how wretched you are 158 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.800 that's why God gave us the 10 commandments because they're perfect and holy and pure and then when 159 00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:27.040 we wake up to the value of them we realize we broke the first one well many didn't need to break 160 00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:36.080 before you look poor Moses Moses comes down the mountain Moses is carrying the 10 commandments down 161 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:41.200 the mountain and poor Joshua he's standing there waiting do you imagine looks in the sun dial 162 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.760 forever Moses comes down and Joshua says listen the people are rejoicing Moses says they're not 163 00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:54.480 rejoicing they're having an orgy and Moses throws down the 10 commandments and then tells them you 164

00:19:57.840 --> 00:20:04.560 Christian I just confess that straight up I'm a Christian and I was at church last Sunday and the 188 00:20:04.560 --> 00:20:12.720 pastor said something about a person wears a mask so that they don't get sick that they believe 189 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:19.760 that the mask is going to stop the virus and so here's the thing Jesus Christ he came to stop 190 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:28.480 the virus of sin in our lives Jesus hung on the cross to die for our sins and then 191 00:20:29.120 --> 00:20:37.360 being resurrected to impart his righteousness to us that friend I understand the fear part of it 192 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.080 but the greater fear is where are you gonna go if you die where are you going listen you shouldn't 193 00:20:44.080 --> 00:20:54.000 be so afraid of being sick here your great fear should be sick and eternity Jesus said I am the 194 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.520 fish physician I have come to heal those that are sick
