00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.320
Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth,

2
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.320
equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.480
Hear this loud and clear.

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:22.480
In fact, modern day liberal theologians hear this loud and clear.

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.320
Those of you who are embracing replacement theology, let me say this to that, heresy.

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:36.040
If God does not fulfill every promise He has made to the nation of Israel, then we Christians

7
00:00:36.040 --> 00:00:42.160
have no promises at all.

8
00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:48.600
You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast.

9
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:54.600
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ,

10
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.840
then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

11
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:04.440
To us, that's like saying, amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

12
00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:10.960
Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you, here is Jack Hibbs.

13
00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:18.160
Jesus said regarding all things, remember in John 141, let not your heart be troubled.

14
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:20.880
So when you're hearing this message, you should get excited.

15
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:22.600
So I don't know what you're going to get excited.

16
00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:28.240
Look, with what's coming, you can either get run over by it or you can understand that

17
00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:31.880
God has spoken to you about these things and you can get excited about it.

18
00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:34.480
Because by the way, it's a big difference.

19
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.560
It's a big difference on how you understand or how you view Bible prophecy.

20
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.680
With this beautiful caveat built into it, it's a verse I think I've been using in almost

21
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:51.600
every week during this series, Luke 2136, Jesus says to us, be always on the watch, pray

22
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.000
that you may escape.

23
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.080
All that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.

24
00:01:59.080 --> 00:02:01.680
That is coming, his appearing.

25
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.520
So church, I'm going to ask you to write these down.

26
00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:06.360
I'm going to give you a string of verses and we're going to get into our point.

27
00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:07.360
So you're ready.

28
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:08.360
I need to know.

29
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.280
Can you say, repeat after me, I am ready.

30
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:20.760
Number one, Titus 213, this is all a preparatory, Titus 213, looking for the blessed hope.

31
00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:25.800
Every believer within the hearing of my voice, you are to be looking, scanning, observing,

32
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.320
the horizon for what, the blessed hope.

33
00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:31.200
Let's see what it is.

34
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:37.280
And the glorious appearing, I'll argue with you today that it is not the coming of Christ,

35
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.440
but the appearing of Christ, big difference.

36
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:46.960
The appearing of our great God and Savior, it's one and the same.

37
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:48.840
He's one and the same I should say.

38
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:49.840
Who is it?

39
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.440
Jesus Christ.

40
00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:57.640
This verse keeps cult members up late at night because it screams about the fact that

41
00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:03.080
the Christian is to be watching constantly for his coming, which means there's no warning,

42
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.800
per se exactly.

43
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:09.800
And then secondly, that he is the great God and Savior because the Bible teaches there

44
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.360
is no second or third.

45
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.760
No wonder why Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.

46
00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:18.720
No man comes to the Father, but through me.

47
00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:19.720
Why?

48
00:03:19.720 --> 00:03:24.680
Because he is our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

49
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.800
That's the great, great verse that you ought to have over you.

50
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.880
Number two, listen to this, this is very, very much fun.

51
00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:40.440
I'm going to give you five references, each one from the five chapters of the book of

52
00:03:40.440 --> 00:03:43.000
Thessalonians.

53
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.880
When Paul preached in Thessalonica, by the way, one of those maps, I could have showed

54
00:03:47.880 --> 00:03:51.160
you where that is, here's the thing though.

55
00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:56.720
When Paul came preaching the gospel, he came into the region of Thessalonica and scholars

56
00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:01.320
all agree that he was there somewhere between three to four weeks, that's it.

57
00:04:01.320 --> 00:04:03.320
He preached, there were no Christians.

58
00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:10.800
He preached, pagans begin to accept Christ, he set up a church and he moved on.

59
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.640
In three to four weeks later, or some time later, he writes them a letter, I should say,

60
00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:17.480
I think it was actually close to about a year.

61
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:22.240
He writes a letter back to them because he heard that they were panicking, that they had

62
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.600
somehow missed the last days of ends.

63
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.760
Notice this with me, and I'm going to make it pretty what's the word demonstrative.

64
00:04:28.760 --> 00:04:32.920
I will really let you know.

65
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:33.920
Notice this.

66
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:34.920
Mark it down.

67
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:41.320
In chapter 1, verse 10, wait for his son from heaven, you are to be waiting, whom he

68
00:04:41.320 --> 00:04:47.880
raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

69
00:04:47.880 --> 00:04:53.000
You see the word wrath, you ought to circle that, and you ought to say this is not talking

70
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.360
about hell.

71
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.360
This word has nothing to do with hell.

72
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.800
This word has everything to do with God's wrath that's going to be poured out upon the

73
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.920
earth for a Christ-projecting age or world.

74
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.920
You need to know that.

75
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.040
It changes everything if you understand that.

76
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.880
They were panicking and they were afraid and they thought they missed his appearing and

77
00:05:13.880 --> 00:05:17.040
that they were going to be going through the wrath and the judgment of God and Paul tells

78
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.040
them, nope.

79
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.160
Or in Hebrew, it's low, low.

80
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.160
I like that.

81
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:26.160
Low.

82
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.160
Yes, it's Ken.

83
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.160
Ken.

84
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.160
Low?

85
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.160
No.

86
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:34.160
No.

87
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.160
Paul, didn't we miss it?

88
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.160
Low.

89
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.960
Now you did miss it.

90
00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:40.960
Keep looking.

91
00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:48.160
Keep watching 1st Thessalonians 219, chapter 2, verse 19, for what is our hope, says Paul,

92
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.160
or joy or crown of rejoicing?

93
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.960
Isn't it even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming or at his appearing?

94
00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:04.640
Chapter 3, verse 13, he says, so that he may establish your heart's blameless and holiness

95
00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:11.400
before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

96
00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:15.920
How many of you know someone who died believing in Jesus, raise your hand?

97
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.000
They died believing in Jesus, they're coming back with him.

98
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.280
That's the reference with all his saints.

99
00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:27.600
That's why you'll see, in a moment, watch how this builds, it's going to explain what

100
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:28.600
that means.

101
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.600
What do you mean he's coming with all his saints?

102
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.840
I thought you'd ask.

103
00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:39.400
Chapter 4, verse 13, but I don't want you to be ignorant or uninformed, brethren, concerning

104
00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:44.240
those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrows have those who have no hope, for if we believe

105
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:50.600
that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring, hello, with him those who sleep

106
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:51.920
or died in Jesus.

107
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:58.520
By the way, please remember, sleep is referring to their bodies, not their souls.

108
00:06:58.520 --> 00:07:01.600
There is no such thing in the Bible as soul sleep.

109
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:05.560
That's a cultic view and it's unbiblical.

110
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:11.600
Verse 15, for this we say by the word of the Lord that we who are alive and remain until

111
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:17.480
the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

112
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.440
Watch what happens and this will prove the argument.

113
00:07:20.440 --> 00:07:22.000
What appears to be asleep?

114
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.600
He's going to tell us.

115
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.840
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout with a voice of the archangel

116
00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:32.560
and the trumpet of God and here you go, the dead in Christ will rise first.

117
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:37.960
Their bodies will pop up out of the grave, pop up.

118
00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:46.040
You've ever seen a, if you've ever butted, you know, by these things very often but

119
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:47.240
when you do it's kind of cool.

120
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:53.640
When you buy a new toaster, when you buy a new toaster but like twice in a lifetime, one

121
00:07:53.640 --> 00:07:57.840
of the great attributes of a toaster is that when you put the toaster in and you toast

122
00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:01.920
it for the first time, you better be ready.

123
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.160
When that thing's done, that toaster comes flying out of there.

124
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:12.240
You can even grab it and a moment and a twinkling of an eye.

125
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.520
That toaster comes shooting out of that toaster.

126
00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:18.280
According to the Bible, listen, God is going to shout the voice of the archangel and the

127
00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:21.640
trumpet of God and boom, like a toaster.

128
00:08:21.640 --> 00:08:26.040
For us lawn, think about it, rose heels, wow, look at that.

129
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.280
There's going to be all these pup tarts coming up.

130
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:33.800
Amazing.

131
00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:40.240
The Bible tells us, then we, her alive roommate, shall be caught up, the word rapture, together

132
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.160
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

133
00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:49.440
And thus we shall always be with the Lord, therefore comfort one another with these words.

134
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.960
That should be a great comfort.

135
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.280
Listen, let's be honest.

136
00:08:52.280 --> 00:08:56.600
If you're a Christian but you're sleeping with bubbles or rocky and God has been saying

137
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.080
to you, y'all not to be doing this or you're dabbling back into the old world of drugs

138
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.560
but now you believe in Christ and Jesus has said, come on, get out of that.

139
00:09:04.560 --> 00:09:05.560
We don't do that anymore.

140
00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:09.040
Or you're snooping around and looking in places, y'all not to be looking.

141
00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:11.920
And the Holy Spirit says, you belong to me now, stop it.

142
00:09:11.920 --> 00:09:12.920
You know what?

143
00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:14.920
Listen.

144
00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:19.040
What ought to be very comforting is when we say, Jesus could come back today.

145
00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:21.440
You always see the Christian who's not walking right with God.

146
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.680
They go like this when you say, a man I hope the Lord comes back today and they go, yeah?

147
00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:26.680
Okay.

148
00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:27.680
Right on.

149
00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:28.680
Huh?

150
00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:29.680
Really?

151
00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:32.240
They're a little nervous about it.

152
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.240
Hey man, the Lord came back today.

153
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.600
The only time I see hesitation with that is at a wedding.

154
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.960
Before I walk out here with a groom to be, he said, man, isn't it going to be great?

155
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:42.960
The Lord came back.

156
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.960
Why don't we have way down the aisle?

157
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:50.160
The Lord comes back and he goes, oh no, how about one more day?

158
00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:51.160
It's great.

159
00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:52.400
It's always fantastic.

160
00:09:52.400 --> 00:09:58.320
But the person that is the Christian not walking with God doesn't like to hear about this.

161
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.400
But it's exactly what you need to hear.

162
00:10:02.400 --> 00:10:04.280
He could come back at any time.

163
00:10:04.280 --> 00:10:06.880
He wants you to love that hope also.

164
00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:09.880
And look if you're not a Christian, you should just panic right now right where you're at.

165
00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:13.880
I mean, we've got defibrillators and nurses and doctors all over this place.

166
00:10:13.880 --> 00:10:15.000
You ought to have a heart attack.

167
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.520
You ought to just have a heart attack right now because if you knew that you're one breath

168
00:10:20.520 --> 00:10:24.040
away from eternity called hell.

169
00:10:24.040 --> 00:10:25.040
You'd shut me up.

170
00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:26.040
You'd get up here.

171
00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:27.040
You'd get on your knee.

172
00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:28.040
You'd say, get out of my way.

173
00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:29.040
Stop talking, Pastor.

174
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:32.000
I need to get saved now before something happens.

175
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.000
Think about that.

176
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.840
It's exactly.

177
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:43.320
And then first, the salonians 5.9, five chapters, five exhortations about his imminent coming.

178
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.120
For God did not appoint us to wrath, that is the wrath of Almighty God, his vengeance that's

179
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:49.920
coming upon the earth.

180
00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:54.960
But to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, that's great news.

181
00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.440
And so in our current global situation, church, we see an awakening taking place.

182
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:01.440
An awakening.

183
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.880
I don't mean just spiritually in all kinds of ways.

184
00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:07.400
This is how we know we're living in amazing days.

185
00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:15.600
When I say awakening, bear with me when I say, Iran, Persia is awakening.

186
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.600
China is awakening.

187
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:23.320
North Korea at this hour is awakening.

188
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:27.080
Russia is awakening.

189
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:33.000
And the last four years, these players have been contained by large degree.

190
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.520
You need to know that.

191
00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:38.800
So number one, we look at this.

192
00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:43.760
In light of all that's going on, and we're seeing saber-addling, we're seeing an awakening

193
00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:48.200
all of a sudden of nations, listen, right now as I speak to you.

194
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.440
What is today's date?

195
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:51.440
The 24th.

196
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.760
Mark your calendar.

197
00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:55.600
Look at Jane's defense weekly.

198
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.480
Go to those websites.

199
00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:03.000
Go to some of these websites, go to the website proceedings by the U.S. Navy.

200
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.040
Go to some of these websites and read some of the things that are going on.

201
00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:16.040
And you look around at the world and all of a sudden in the last seven days, there's

202
00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:23.720
been a bizarre global shift into players I just mentioned to you a moment ago.

203
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:31.200
They were all back, like a lion tamer puts a lion back in its corner.

204
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.200
They were like this.

205
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.200
They weren't happy.

206
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.000
They weren't going, oh, good, look at America's economy.

207
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.000
It's fantastic.

208
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.000
Oh, look at all the people going to church.

209
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.000
Isn't that great?

210
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.000
They didn't do that.

211
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.000
They were like this.

212
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.200
And they were held in place.

213
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.200
Then all of a sudden things have been shaken.

214
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.600
I'm talking about the hand of God.

215
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.960
I'm not talking politics here.

216
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.520
There's a reason for this.

217
00:12:53.520 --> 00:12:56.160
Number one, I want you to mark this down.

218
00:12:56.160 --> 00:13:00.840
What we know for sure is all eyes are on God.

219
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.840
So that's a huge statement.

220
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.440
All eyes are not on God.

221
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.560
This is what I mean by this.

222
00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:09.320
People are awakening and they're asking questions about God in the end of the world and

223
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.280
what's up next.

224
00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:12.960
They're atheists asking the question.

225
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:18.400
People are jared in a recent poll.

226
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:25.320
From 70% of Americans thought that we'd be at war within a year with Iran, Persia.

227
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:30.640
Not because we want to, but because of what they're doing.

228
00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:37.280
Isaiah chapter 45 verse 21 says, who has declared this from ancient time and who has told

229
00:13:37.280 --> 00:13:38.400
it from that time?

230
00:13:38.400 --> 00:13:43.760
Have I not either, Lord, that there is no other God beside me, a just God and a savior?

231
00:13:43.760 --> 00:13:45.240
There is none besides me.

232
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:46.240
Notice what he's saying.

233
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.240
And result of that reality, that truth, verse 22.

234
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.000
Look to me and be saved all you ends of the earth for I am God and there is no other.

235
00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.640
In the midst of all the shaking that is now beginning to formulate and the posturing,

236
00:14:01.640 --> 00:14:06.880
it's God's will right now that the world wake up to these things and understand God's

237
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:08.360
in control.

238
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.800
He knows exactly what's going on.

239
00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:15.880
It's been said that recent events both in our nation and the world have revealed to

240
00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:24.480
us that we are all living an unprecedented time that these times just might be with us

241
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:25.480
for a while.

242
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.040
Nobody wants to hear that.

243
00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:29.480
But they're starting to make comments.

244
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.520
They're starting to say things and I've got news articles that I may or may not get to

245
00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:36.360
this week, but certainly by next week.

246
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.400
People are beginning to question everything and so we should.

247
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:40.920
People are unsettled.

248
00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:47.000
People are looking for answers and that's what I mean by all eyes are upon God.

249
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:53.120
The book of Haggai, chapter 2, verse 6 and 7 says, Haggai 2, 6.

250
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.640
This is what the Lord Almighty says.

251
00:14:55.640 --> 00:15:00.840
In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry

252
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:01.840
land.

253
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:06.400
Listen, he's not, he's not poetically speaking here.

254
00:15:06.400 --> 00:15:09.320
This is not God writing a play.

255
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.600
He means it.

256
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:16.760
I will shake all nations and what is desired by all nations will come.

257
00:15:16.760 --> 00:15:19.160
That's the hope of the gospel.

258
00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:25.240
I will fill this house speaking of his temple with glory, says the Lord Almighty.

259
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:27.920
God knows what's going on in the nation's church.

260
00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:33.080
He knows what's going on and there's a healthy and a much needed, I'm going to get mail

261
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.840
for this.

262
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:41.960
There's a healthy and much needed division taking place in what is called church.

263
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.080
It needs to happen.

264
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:52.800
People groups, religions, this is necessary, it's increasing every week.

265
00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:58.080
We need to remember something that in Hebrews 12, 28, Hebrews 12, 28, the Bible says, therefore

266
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:01.640
since we've received a kingdom which cannot be shaken, isn't that great?

267
00:16:02.280 --> 00:16:04.040
Let me interrupt myself right here right now.

268
00:16:04.040 --> 00:16:05.120
The world is shaking.

269
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.120
Some people are shaking.

270
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:13.120
God says, wait a minute, let me hold you, you don't need to shake.

271
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:16.440
Your mind don't stop shaking.

272
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.440
Our little dog, she never shakes, but for some reason, you know, little dogs usually

273
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:21.440
shake.

274
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.440
She doesn't.

275
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.800
She was shaking, it's too cold for her.

276
00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:34.000
So the moment we picked her up and held her, it had to be a minute, she stopped shaking.

277
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.200
She looked scared but she was cold.

278
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.760
There are people that are shaking today, they're Christians, they love the Lord, but

279
00:16:39.760 --> 00:16:43.880
doubt and fear has gotten into them and they're shaking and God is saying, come here, come

280
00:16:43.880 --> 00:16:44.880
here, come here.

281
00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:49.520
It's funny because he's saying, come here.

282
00:16:49.520 --> 00:16:54.080
And so you need to let him pick you up.

283
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:59.000
He says, listen, I'm going to take care of you because my kingdom will never shake.

284
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:05.560
But he goes on in the passage that verse in Hebrews, he goes on and he says this, therefore

285
00:17:05.560 --> 00:17:10.320
since we have received a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace by which we may

286
00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:15.040
serve God acceptably with the reverence and godly fear.

287
00:17:15.040 --> 00:17:19.040
Oh my goodness, godly fear is an awesome thing.

288
00:17:19.040 --> 00:17:30.400
Godly fear is godly awe, it means awe, beautiful, for our God is a consuming fire.

289
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.600
It's the will of God that you come to the saving, loving and forgiving knowledge of Jesus Christ

290
00:17:36.600 --> 00:17:37.600
or Lord and Savior.

291
00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:40.800
This is the will of God.

292
00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:47.160
All eyes on God, people are getting to look and so they should.

293
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:51.560
It should be important.

294
00:17:51.560 --> 00:17:53.560
I think we have a slide under this point.

295
00:17:53.560 --> 00:17:56.920
Is it number four you guys, is that what we're looking at?

296
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:03.400
New York Times, May 15th, 1948.

297
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.320
All eyes on God, people are so out of the world about all eyes on God, we mentioned this

298
00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:14.920
before, we need to mention it again, headlines Saturday, May 15th because Saturday, May 15th

299
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.880
follows Friday, May 14th.

300
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:22.080
May 14th was the day that Bible prophecy was fulfilled.

301
00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:28.520
In the New York Times, Zionists proclaim new state of Israel, Truman recognizes it and

302
00:18:28.520 --> 00:18:32.960
hopes for peace, Tel Aviv is bombed, Egypt orders an invasion.

303
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:37.960
Did you know that Israel was attacked one day after they were born?

304
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:43.200
They had no army, but they won.

305
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.560
What has that happened?

306
00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:47.560
God has done this.

307
00:18:47.560 --> 00:18:48.560
Absolutely amazing.

308
00:18:48.560 --> 00:18:51.160
You say, how does that plan to do anything?

309
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.320
Placing to everything.

310
00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:54.480
Hear this loud and clear.

311
00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:00.480
In fact, modern day liberal theologians hear this loud and clear.

312
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:08.200
Those of you who are embracing replacement theology, let me say this to that heresy.

313
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:14.920
If God does not fulfill every promise he has made to the nation of Israel, then we Christians

314
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:20.800
have no promises at all.

315
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:25.680
He said, his covenant with Israel was everlasting.

316
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:30.880
He said, I will bring you back from the ends of the earth and place you in your own land

317
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.960
once I begin to move.

318
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.920
You saw the headline evidence of a fact.

319
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:37.920
You don't look at it.

320
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.920
That's a nice headline.

321
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.920
Are you kidding me?

322
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:40.920
That's Bible prophecy fulfilled.

323
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:41.920
We'll study it later.

324
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:46.320
Isaiah 66, but that's a fact.

325
00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:47.720
You know what's awesome about that headline is?

326
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:53.840
You can look at the New York Times on Saturday, May 15, 1948 and say, isn't God good?

327
00:19:53.840 --> 00:19:57.760
And my Bible is true.

328
00:19:57.760 --> 00:20:02.680
Because if God doesn't keep his promises to Israel, you ain't got nothing.

329
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.840
How in the world would you expect to go to heaven?

330
00:20:04.840 --> 00:20:05.840
Who Jesus promised me?

331
00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:08.000
You don't have any promises.

332
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.000
Because if the Father can't keep them to Israel, then what responsibility does Jesus

333
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.360
have to keep his promises to you?

334
00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:19.840
Thank God he keeps his promises to Israel and he shall keep them.

335
00:20:19.840 --> 00:20:25.400
Remember, we've been grafted in to what the Bible says is the commonwealth of Israel.

336
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.520
We're going to go to heaven because the gospel came to Israel first.

337
00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:30.520
We need to remember that.

338
00:20:30.520 --> 00:20:39.400
