20 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.880 In light of the conversation about the Lord coming back, so how do I get ready? 21 00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:21.800 Here's the second question that prevailed. 22 00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:25.240 The second question is, how do you know you're ready? 23 00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:31.080 That's a great question because if I say, and the Bible does say, by the way, you need 24 00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:35.640 to get ready, well, you just asked a great qualifying question. 25 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.600 You've asked a diagnostic question, which is brilliant. 26 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.520 The Bible says to examine yourself, not other people, examine yourself to see whether 27 00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:47.200 you are in the faith or not. 28 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:48.680 Do you know that? 29 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.200 You don't go around and look at other people and try to examine and determine if they're 30 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.760 in the faith or not. 31 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:54.760 That's something later. 32 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.640 That's called really, really fruit inspection to see if that's really a true person. 33 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.520 Number one is you to look to yourself to see, am I really ready? 34 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:06.520 So how do you know? 35 00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:07.520 Great question. 36 00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.720 Number one, read Galatians chapter five. 37 00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:15.040 Read Galatians chapter five and here's what you're gonna want to do. 38 00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:22.200 You're gonna want to look at the works of the flesh that are listed and then the fruit 39 00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:25.880 of the spirit, which are listed. 40 00:02:25.880 --> 00:02:33.800 And you wanna take Galatians five and you wanna judge your life in light of those assessments 41 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:42.440 and in light of those descriptions, ask yourself, how are you doing in that? 42 00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:48.920 You wanna ask yourself this if you want to know if you're ready or not, is does anyone 43 00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:51.280 depend upon my Christianity? 44 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.600 Does anyone depend upon me being obedient and faithful to Jesus? 45 00:02:56.600 --> 00:03:03.760 In other words, if I'm living for the Lord after I've given my heart to Christ, does my 46 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:06.200 life make a difference? 47 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:08.640 Now this is a very stinging point. 48 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:17.080 I know, well I'll just speak for the church I pastor. 49 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:23.000 If you put Sundays and Wednesdays together, over 20,000 people a week come to church anywhere 50 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.160 from 18 to 20,000 people or all of them Christians, I don't know. 51 00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:34.760 It's not for me to know, but they come. 52 00:03:34.760 --> 00:03:39.320 They are challenged and they are invited to examine their own lives. 53 00:03:39.320 --> 00:03:44.720 How many of them, listen, are still doing church on Tuesday? 54 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.120 See, I'll go to church on Sunday. 55 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.760 I'm not so much interested in that. 56 00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:52.640 Are you doing church on Thursday at 2 o'clock? 57 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:54.840 What about Friday at 6am? 58 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.560 What about Saturday night at 11pm? 59 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:58.560 Are you still doing church? 60 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.640 What do you mean doing church? 61 00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:10.240 Are you still longing to be more like Jesus at 2am on Monday morning driving to the office? 62 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.800 That's what time you have to get up here in LA area. 63 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.240 You get to your office by 7. 64 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.040 I left it to you. 65 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.760 Listen, is Christ a constant presence? 66 00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:24.440 Are you the awareness of God? 67 00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:27.360 Is it constant in your life? 68 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.360 That's how you'll know. 69 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.280 Listen, I'll sum it up by this. 70 00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:39.760 Can you just keep doing sins and not get stung by the Holy Spirit? 71 00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:43.280 If you can, then you're not only not ready. 72 00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:48.600 You're not hearing the Holy Spirit, which means Jesus is the Spirit of God will convict 73 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.600 you. 74 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.040 That means if you're not hearing Him, that means you don't belong to Him. 75 00:04:54.040 --> 00:05:00.320 You might belong to a church, and to that I would say, good luck. 76 00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:02.960 Church membership is not getting you into heaven. 77 00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:06.000 A personal interaction, you know what Charles Spurgeon said? 78 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.200 Charles Spurgeon said that true biblical faith is intercourse with God. 79 00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:14.360 Wow. 80 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:15.760 Personality to personality. 81 00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:18.160 You are a personality. 82 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.080 God is a personality, which is why you're a personality. 83 00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:23.040 You've been created in his image. 84 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.720 Do you have that relationship with him? 85 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.480 So how do you know you're ready? 86 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:32.080 You need to apply the word of God to your life as you read it. 87 00:05:32.080 --> 00:05:35.120 I'm so grateful for your question because it's deep. 88 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.120 It's so simple, right? 89 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:42.120 It's so deep because that question is going to reveal evidence. 90 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.840 You're like a detective, and now you're asking the right question. 91 00:05:44.840 --> 00:05:47.040 How do I know I'm ready? 92 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.600 Do you want Jesus to come back today? 93 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:51.920 I know. 94 00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.640 You're saying yes, but my dad's not saved. 95 00:05:54.640 --> 00:05:59.040 Oh, I don't want Jesus to come back today because my sister is still lost. 96 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.040 I know. 97 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.880 I have that too. 98 00:06:01.880 --> 00:06:03.520 I mean, my brother saved. 99 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:04.520 That's not the point. 100 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:13.120 I'm saying if he watches this podcast, my point is this is that God knows all that stuff. 101 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.120 He'll mitigate all that. 102 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.040 He knows what's happened in time. 103 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.560 Do you want Christ to come back today?

148 00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:06.120 In fact, I'm going to do this. 149 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:07.120 Look at it. 150 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.800 Allison and Ellie, both of you, I'm going to read both your questions because they're very 151 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.880 much the same. 152 00:08:13.880 --> 00:08:19.840 What happens to those who died during the millennium, that's the thousand-year reign of Christ, that's 153 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.400 dealing with mortals, which ties into Ellie's question. 154 00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:28.400 If Jesus is in Jerusalem for a thousand years, yes, he will be. 155 00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:37.000 What happens to the believers born during the time of the millennium who die? 156 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.000 Do they go to heaven or Jerusalem? 157 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.880 The Bible says that their spirit, right, to be absent from the bodies, to be present 158 00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:47.640 with the Lord. 159 00:08:47.640 --> 00:08:55.200 And we know that there'll be some state of them dwelling in eternity in heaven that 160 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.000 would be with the Father. 161 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.520 You see, what not with the Son? 162 00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:02.120 The Son is ruling and reigning for a thousand years on earth. 163 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:08.320 Their spirit will be in heaven and God's abode in the place where God is. 164 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.120 When will they be resurrected? 165 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:15.200 Their physical bodies will be resurrected at the end of the millennium. 166 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.800 They don't drop dead and then pop back up during the millennium. 167 00:09:19.800 --> 00:09:25.960 Those mortals who believe in Christ, Isaiah says, when a man dies at the age of a hundred 168 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:30.960 who believes a believer, dies at the age of a hundred, it will be as a baby died. 169 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.960 Why?

235 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:29.600 Well, you can text on a little bit, but if you can go a little bit more, you tell 236 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:34.280 the difference where you set the resurrection and then there's the resurrection and the 237 00:13:34.280 --> 00:13:35.280 reverb. 238 00:13:35.280 --> 00:13:36.280 Yeah. 239 00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:41.280 In fact, again, that prophecy handbook, Resurrection, if you have a good, if you have 240 00:13:41.280 --> 00:13:46.400 a good concordance in the back of your Bible, or if you have a good study Bible, I highly 241 00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:50.240 endorse, I highly recommend the Rory study Bible. 242 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:55.080 If you could get that in New King James, buy it because you can't buy it anywhere right 243 00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.040 now anyway. 244 00:13:57.040 --> 00:14:01.160 But if you find it by it, the price of those will range. 245 00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:02.160 I've bought them. 246 00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:04.040 I've got about 22 of them. 247 00:14:04.040 --> 00:14:05.040 Why do I have them? 248 00:14:05.040 --> 00:14:06.640 Because they're hard to find. 249 00:14:06.640 --> 00:14:11.680 I've paid anywhere from $30 to just under $3,000 per Bible. 250 00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:12.680 They're so rare. 251 00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:14.400 They're so excellent to have. 252 00:14:14.400 --> 00:14:19.320 New King James, Rory study Bible, published by Moody. 253 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:25.080 Look up resurrection and you will find out that resurrection, there are many resurrections 254 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.120 in the Bible. 255 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:28.680 So you're going to want to know that. 256 00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:31.040 There's all kinds of resurrections in Scripture. 257 00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:41.680 For one thing, we know that in a sense Elijah and the prophet laid on top of the sick boy 258 00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:46.120 who died and that boy was resurrected back to life in the Old Testament. 259 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:54.160 We know that when Jesus died on the cross, when Jesus said it is finished and the ground 260 00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:59.680 shook, the Bible tells us that there were those who were resurrected from the dead in Jerusalem 261 00:14:59.680 --> 00:15:01.720 and walked into the city. 262 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.080 That had to be amazing. 263 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:09.000 And then it says in Matthew 27 that when he rose from the dead, others also rose and walked 264 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.000 into the city. 265 00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:21.200 Our pre-Crucified, we would consider saints, no doubt about it, but that's why there 266 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:23.400 are numerous resurrections in Scripture. 267 00:15:23.400 --> 00:15:27.760 So to break it all down, you want to study the resurrections of the Bible and you want 268 00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:29.960 to do it from a good source. 269 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:36.080 Good sources again, Tim Lahay, Dr. Ed Heinssen. 270 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:47.560 I highly recommend Professor Gary Habermass at Liberty University on Resurrection. 271 00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:55.520 You'll get a much more fuller, much in depth, a word study through the Bible on the various 272 00:15:55.520 --> 00:16:01.200 phases and various events of resurrection that are in the Bible. 273 00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:09.520 So all right, you guys, yep, hit subscribe, stay up to date, we'll notify you when something's 274 00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:11.240 dropping you guys. 275 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.800 And it's our intent always because we don't want to goof around. 276 00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:17.560 I hope you know that. 277 00:16:17.560 --> 00:16:20.240 We like to say it's time for you to live out what you believe in. 278 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.400 It's time for real life. 279 00:16:21.400 --> 00:16:23.240 That's our little thing, you know? 280 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.360 That's our, that's our jingle. 281 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.480 It's time for you to live out what you believe in. 282 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.480 It's time for real life. 283 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.280 Why is that important to us? 284 00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:40.280 Because God's Word is true and God's Word is powerful and it transforms lives. 285 00:16:40.280 --> 00:16:47.080 And if that was not true, if I didn't have anything to live out that has completely 286 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.040 transformed my life, I absolutely would not be here right now. 287 00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:56.400 I would absolutely be back at my old job, but well, wait a minute, at my age, I would 288 00:16:56.400 --> 00:17:00.680 now have been retired since the age of 53. 289 00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:03.480 I would be vacationing. 290 00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:11.720 I would be laying in the hammock somewhere, probably nigh unto Kauai or Maui. 291 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.520 And I would just be living life because you live and you die. 292 00:17:16.520 --> 00:17:20.360 So grab all the gusto you can, Matt, go, what's the word? 293 00:17:20.360 --> 00:17:22.960 You only live once, right? 294 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.360 Yolo, if people use that anymore. 295 00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:31.920 But if Christ is risen from the dead, wow, that changes things. 296 00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.840 So none of us want to waste any time. 297 00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:37.720 We know that we're not wasting time because of this reason. 298 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:49.440 Jesus Christ was God's preordained, prophesied, Old Testament recorded promise. 299 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:55.880 Messiah, Savior, anointed one, atonement for our sins. 300 00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:01.480 The reason why I believe Jesus Christ is Messiah and Lord of Lord and King of Kings and 301 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:07.600 Lord of Lords is because he's the eternal God manifested in human flesh. 302 00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:10.360 That's Old Testament doctrine friends. 303 00:18:10.360 --> 00:18:14.640 My Jewish friends, listen, I'm not even talking about New Testament. 304 00:18:15.040 --> 00:18:22.680 Listen, David, King David said regarding the Messiah that the Lord will not allow the 305 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:32.120 anointed one, the Messiah, to see the grave nor be confined to death. 306 00:18:32.120 --> 00:18:32.960 David said that. 307 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:38.520 That means David believed that the Messiah would come, die and be resurrected. 308 00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:44.200 David said that the Messiah is going to be crucified with holes through his hands and 309 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.320 his feet, Psalm 22. 310 00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:55.200 Micah, the prophet said that Israel, you'll find the Messiah when he comes, he will be born 311 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.840 in the village of Bethlehem. 312 00:18:58.840 --> 00:19:05.600 By the way, it says, the Bible says Bethlehem at Parfatha in the book of Isaiah or a book 313 00:19:05.600 --> 00:19:08.680 of Micah, why does it say that? 314 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.520 Because there were two Bethlehem's at the birth of Christ. 315 00:19:12.520 --> 00:19:18.280 Bethlehem was closer and in the realm of Judah near Jerusalem, the other one wasn't. 316 00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:22.200 The other one did not do what the other one did. 317 00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.640 The other one where Christ was born was the Bethlehem that produced the lambs that were 318 00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.160 for temple sacrifice. 319 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:38.600 That's why the Bible so specifically says Jesus had to come from the county, so to speak 320 00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:46.320 of Apaptha from the village of Bethlehem were all of the sheep are prepared. 321 00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:54.720 McDowell Eder, McDowell Eder is where the tower of the shepherds raised sheep for temple 322 00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.600 sacrifices and that's where Jesus Christ was born. 323 00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:02.280 That's Old Testament. 324 00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:09.880 The Bible says in Isaiah chapter 7 and chapter 9 that he would be the eternal God and that 325 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:16.960 he would be born of a virgin, meaning there was no human intercourse needed for the Messiah 326 00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:24.400 to be born because the Messiah had to have human DNA, Bible says it came through Mary's 327 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:34.960 line through David, but he had to be the Son of God and the Holy Spirit engineered the DNA 328 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.960 of Jesus. 329 00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:42.640 He's the God man, it's absolutely epic, the God that we worship right now is the resurrected 330 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.280 Son of God forever man for you and I. 331 00:20:46.280 --> 00:20:47.280 Why?
