longer be in our world, He will no longer be in 5 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.120 our classrooms, He will no longer be in our courts, He will no longer be in our marriages, 6 00:00:31.120 -->

00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:10.360 Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you, here is Jack Kibs. 13 00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:18.180 Jesus said that there come a time of escalation of deception against truth and Matthew 24 14 00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:22.280 verse 35, and I'm going to read you this, but you ask yourself if it's true. 15 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:27.240 Now as he sat, that's Jesus sat on the mount of all of us, the disciples came to him privately, 16 00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:30.320 saying, tell us when will these things be? 17 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:33.680 What will be the sign of your coming? 18 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.200 And of the end of the age or the end of the world, a three-part question there? 19 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.640 And Jesus answered and said to them, take heed that no one deceives you. 20 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.840 For many will come in my name saying, I am the Christ and will deceive many. 21 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.480 In escalation of deception against the truth. 22 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.880 Jesus said that what's going to come. 23 00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:01.040 He said that 2,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago, Jesus said there would come an escalation of 24 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.880 the deconstruction of society. 25 00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.560 And Genesis chapter 1 verse 27, the Bible says, so God created man in his own image, mark 26 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.480 that church. 27 00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:21.640 In the image of God, he created him, male and female, he created them. 28 00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:28.760 Then God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply. 29 00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:35.400 Jesus said there's going to come a time as we get near the end of an escalation of deconstruction 30 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.560 regarding society. 31 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.400 God's pattern was, I have made human beings in my image, male and female. 32 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.720 God created them. 33 00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:50.160 Jesus said there would come an escalation of calamities on earth. 34 00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:53.680 They would increase Matthew 24 verse 7. 35 00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.680 And there will be famines, pestilence and an 8.2 magnitude earthquake in Alaska a few 36 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:01.680 days ago. 37 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.640 Earthquakes in various places and all these things, Jesus said at the beginning of sorrows, 38 00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:11.720 escalation of calamities. 39 00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:21.560 Jesus said there would come an escalation of the death of brotherly love. 40 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:29.080 Man's common general love for one another, Matthew 24 verse 10 and 12. 41 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.560 And then many will be offended and will betray one another and will hate one another. 42 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.800 Verse 12 says, and because of lawlessness abounding, the love of many will grow cold. 43 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.280 You've got to stop and ask yourself if that's happening. 44 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:49.320 Jesus said there would come a time of escalation regarding the devaluing of human life. 45 00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:56.800 And Luke 17 verse 26, Jesus said, the Bible says, and as it was in the days of Noah, so 46 00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.960 will it also be in the days of the son of man. 47 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.680 They drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage until the day Noah entered 48 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.360 the ark and the flood came and destroyed them all. 49 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:16.800 Likewise, as it was in the days of lot, they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, 50 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:24.560 they planted, they built, but on the day that lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and 51 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.320 brimmed stone from heaven and destroyed them all. 52 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:35.140 Even so, that word means in verse 30, just like that, will it be in the day when the son 53 00:04:35.140 --> 00:04:36.640 of man is revealed? 54 00:04:36.640 --> 00:04:38.720 These are the words of Jesus. 55 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:43.000 One of my words, you have a fault with these, you have a fault with God. 56 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:50.320 Jesus said there would come an escalation of disregard for law in Genesis chapter 6 verse 57 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:56.840 5, as it was in the days of Noah, remember that, then the Lord saw that the wickedness of 58 00:04:56.840 --> 00:05:04.080 man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only 59 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:06.200 evil continually. 60 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:16.040 Jesus said there would come an escalation of war and the threat of wars, Matthew 24 verse 61 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:24.320 6, you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, saber rattling, all around the world, globally. 62 00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:31.160 Jesus said there would come an escalation of racism upon the earth, Matthew 24 verse 7, 63 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.040 for nation will rise against nation. 64 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.920 The word is ethnos, don't think governments, ethnos will rise up against ethnos, they'll 65 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.040 be race wars in the earth. 66 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.380 We're seeing that right now today, right now today, for the first time on a global scale 67 00:05:49.380 --> 00:05:52.080 in all of human history at the same time. 68 00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:54.280 How do you explain that? 69 00:05:54.360 --> 00:06:03.360 Jesus said there would come an escalation of geopolitical tension, Matthew 24 verse 7, 70 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.120 Jesus says kingdom will rise up against kingdom, that's political powers will attack political 71 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.760 powers and we see that in a global scale and in fact in the last, is it safe to say 72 00:06:15.760 --> 00:06:16.760 hundred years? 73 00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:18.520 That's about right, yeah, hundred years. 74 00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:23.840 In the last hundred years, the world for the first time in global history has hosted 75 00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:26.680 at least two world wars. 76 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:33.360 I say at least two world wars because ever since the war on terrorism many students of 77 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:40.360 war believe that the war on terrorism is a third world war, it may very well be true. 78 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:48.000 Jesus said there would come an escalation of fear and the supernatural, Luke 21 11 and 79 00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:57.080 there will be fearful sites and great signs in the heavens, the observable sky, that's 80 00:06:57.080 --> 00:07:03.040 the word heavens, not heaven where God is in the heavens. 81 00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.960 I told you guys before, some of you left, it's okay, go ahead and left. 82 00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:11.720 I don't believe in aliens, I don't believe in little green men flying around, I don't 83 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:16.920 believe in spaceships, I believe, listen, I believe in all of the stuff that's gone 84 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:22.720 on regarding aliens, don't you believe that something crashed in Roswell, I've never seen 85 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:29.720 it, but let's say it did, if something crashed in Roswell, it's a demonic origin. 86 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:34.680 But we saw this thing in the sky or I had this thing appeared and it looked just like 87 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:41.000 the thing on the x-files show with the weird eyeballs and demonic. 88 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.640 I don't believe in visitors from other planets, I believe in visitors from hell. 89 00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:51.000 They're called demons, Jesus spoke about them and they're fallen angels, Jesus spoke 90 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.000 about them. 91 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:59.800 If it takes you away from Jesus and from the security of the word of God, then it's demonic 92 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.320 and the Bible anticipated that. 93 00:08:03.320 --> 00:08:09.400 And then finally I can say this, that the Bible says there would come a great escalation 94 00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:14.240 of the divorce of man from God. 95 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:20.680 One would as it were, launch a case against God and divorce himself from God, that God 96 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:25.320 will no longer be in our thinking, God will no longer be in our world, he will no longer 97 00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:29.160 be in our classrooms, he will no longer be in our courts, he will no longer be in our 98 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:36.360 marriages, God will no longer be something to deal with, and to factor with, we will become 99 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:41.640 God's, we will call the shots, we will run the show. 100 00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:45.240 What happens to a culture when that takes place? 101 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:52.000 I will be appealing to your reason, thinking, and your logic to understand that whenever 102 00:08:52.000 --> 00:09:00.400 man is in control, by design, fallen design that is, not God's failure to do it right, 103 00:09:00.400 --> 00:09:08.720 it's our failure that whenever we have the opportunity to be as it were, God with power, 104 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:16.880 God with law, God with influence, we may start out or we may even campaign with a good 105 00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:28.080 word, but dear friends, remember the old saying, power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts 106 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:36.120 absolutely, we can't handle it, I spoke to some young pastors recently and I made mention 107 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:42.840 to them, you need to be careful, because listen, in your lives God wants to use you and 108 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:51.440 your greatest danger is not defeat, your greatest danger is not setbacks and trials, your 109 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:58.840 greatest setback is success, you want to destroy somebody, elevate them too quickly, 110 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.600 we can't handle it, there is a deconstruction that according to the Bible is underway, 111 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:14.240 and that deconstruction is of morality, morality, people don't like to hear that word morality. 112 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.280 People often say you cannot legislate morality, have you ever heard that? 113 00:10:17.280 --> 00:10:22.520 You need to mind your own business, you can be a Christian, but you stay in church, 114 00:10:22.520 --> 00:10:26.200 but when you come out of the church, you better not vote, you better not go to the public 115 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.760 square and you better not go to the school board meeting, because you can't legislate morality, 116 00:10:31.760 --> 00:10:38.280 you will heard that, but that is honestly one of the most disingenuous and false statements 117 00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:45.160 that someone could ever hear, and I will get into the reason why, if I take a car and 118 00:10:45.160 --> 00:10:53.400 I go 100 miles an hour in a school zone, is that immoral? 119 00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:58.400 It's absolutely immoral, so how do you know? 120 00:10:58.400 --> 00:11:06.080 Because the speed limit is posted in a school zone, morality, according to God's word there 121 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:11.200 is going to be a deconstruction of morality, look at verse 26 for this reason, God gave 122 00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:17.320 them up to vile passions, that there's a people group and there's conduct and there's 123 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:22.280 actions that eventually God says he gives them up. 124 00:11:22.280 --> 00:11:27.160 And the Bible that hears this for this reason, the word reason means, it means as a statement 125 00:11:27.160 --> 00:11:32.560 of fact, it's beautiful, it's sad, it's terrifying, but it's beautiful, it's pure, but it's 126 00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:34.040 terrifying. 127 00:11:34.040 --> 00:11:40.560 God says, listen, God says, here's the reason why I have to give them up, translation, 128 00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:49.320 jack, they gave me every bit of argument to give them up, God is saying, I didn't want 129 00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:55.800 to give them up, they made me give them up, you need to remember that, God is not willing 130 00:11:55.800 --> 00:12:02.000 that anyone perish and God is reaching out and God is calling and God is crying out, 131 00:12:02.040 --> 00:12:11.040 he extends salvation and hope, but for this reason, the statement of fact, these things 132 00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:18.280 being true, the word means preconditions, it means that what has happened and what is 133 00:12:18.280 --> 00:12:23.840 about to happen, it's based on an action, but it's not God's action, he's responding 134 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:28.440 for this reason and God brings his judgment. 135 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.000 He says, he gives them up, the word up means he hands them over, oh my goodness, church, 136 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.160 this is terrifying. 137 00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:42.560 The word means that he gives them up to what they ultimately want, you know how your kids, 138 00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:48.200 you know this, we've all done it, some of us still do it, our kids do it all the time. 139 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.160 Can I have a, mommy, can I have a cookie, I want just one more cookie, mommy, please 140 00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:55.240 I want a cookie, I want a cookie, you know the kid, cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie, 141 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:59.880 and then the mom is, she's busy, she's got the phone, she's baking the cake and sealing 142 00:12:59.880 --> 00:13:07.480 the deal, she's selling things on, it's the, and she's mowing the lawn and vacuuming and 143 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:15.360 got the baby on the back and the other one's pooling, cookie, cookie, and you know what, 144 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:23.880 in a moment of desperation she just grabs the whole cookie dough thing and just, here you 145 00:13:23.880 --> 00:13:32.080 want a cookie, here's a cookie, and gives the kid the cookie to shut the kid up, mom, 146 00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:41.240 for that reason, gave him up, hate the cookie, and I want this, I want this, I want this, 147 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.040 I want this and God says it's not good for you, it's not good for you, it's not good 148 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:49.680 for you, I want it, I want it, I want it, and then it comes a point when God says you're 149 00:13:49.680 --> 00:13:54.480 never going to get off of this desire of yours and this decision of yours and this 150 00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:01.120 passion of yours, here it is, and it implies that he gives it, gives it, you want it, 151 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.480 you can have it, do you remember the children miserable, they were going around the wilderness 152 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:10.800 complaining, manna, we're sick of it, every day they'd wake up, they knit list, they'd 153 00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:15.080 never had a cook, they'd never had to do anything, they'd wake up in the morning and the 154 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:20.420 Bible says God would send manna, it would appear as a divine act of God that food would 155 00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:25.060 appear on the ground in front of, hello, listen, this would be great because it just put 156 00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:31.800 Amazon right out of business, the Bible says, the Bible says they woke up and it's right 157 00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:40.880 outside their tent door, that's good, oh honey, hang on, you guys hungry, open up the tent 158 00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:46.340 door, bring it in, manna right there, and they said you know what, we're sick of this 159 00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:52.760 stuff, we want something else, oh I wish we were back in Egypt where they had onions, 160 00:14:52.760 --> 00:15:03.760 that's what they said, we love those leaks, so they start thinking, and they wind so long 161 00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:08.120 God told Moses, hey you know what about this time tomorrow, I'm going to cause a wind 162 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:16.040 to blow, and quail are going to come flying by in the wind, and I read it, I'm not kidding, 163 00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:23.200 read it, just right, God says I'm going to send quail and they're going to be in a zone 164 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:30.080 where everybody can get one, right, and so the wind blows and all these quail come flying 165 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:34.600 through and everybody just grab and quail by the little neck and feet and boom, and the 166 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:42.640 Bible says they're eating quail, oh oh oh, and the scripture says that they ate so much 167 00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:53.560 quail, it began to come out of them, but it says, but God sent leanness into their souls, 168 00:15:53.560 --> 00:16:03.000 they became carnal, what's the moral of the teaching, what you want, if it's against 169 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:08.400 what God wants, if you keep harping on it, you'll eventually get it, and when you get 170 00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:17.320 it, it will be your demise, and you have no one to blame but you, morality, it's the essence 171 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:24.000 of it, and then vile, look at the word vile, it means uncommon use, it means wrong way, 172 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:33.920 the word vile means wrong way, shameful, repulsive, I want to show you something on the 173 00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:41.160 screens, this is coming to public school children everywhere, this is Los Angeles County 174 00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:47.720 School District, teen pregnancy prevention, what does that mean,

about 178 00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:20.280 this, we can either do nothing, which is how we got here in the first place, or we can 179 00:17:20.280 --> 00:17:28.160 start caring about things, is the Bible true, are these things not popular, of course they're 180 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:37.760 not popular, I know exactly what I'm doing, it's for you to be ready, it's for you to understand 181 00:17:37.760 --> 00:18:03.920 that God's word answers everything for us.
