It means we need to read our Bibles more and more thoroughly and more carefully. 5 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.200 So we're going to get into some fun topics right now in this podcast. 6 00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:28.000 High probability that you've never quite put this together as you're about to hear it. 7 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.840 Get your Bibles open, take some notes because I hope it creates a really cool, awesome, 8 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.240 personal Bible study time between you and your friends. So let's get into it now. 9 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:23.000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Jack Hibbs Show, the Jack Hibbs Podcast. We're glad that you guys are with us. By the way, I want to thank all of you who literally stopped me wherever I'm at and it doesn't matter where I'm at. 10 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:38.000 I was stopped recently last week or so in Boston and in Orlando and in Denver and the overriding response by people or the statement by people is this. Hey, I watched the podcast. 11 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:46.000 That's the number one thing. I would think maybe they watched the sermons, the sermon series, the Sunday teachings. 12 00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.000 Maybe they do. I don't know, maybe they don't, but nobody comments about that. They always say, man, love the podcast. 13 00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:02.000 And so we're grateful for that. If you love the podcast, if you are learning from the podcast and almost want to get into a podcast about learning. 14 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:18.000 If you're learning from this podcast, please, please identify that you are being blessed by this. Give us a thumbs up, give us a rating, give us a comment, give us the stars, whatever the platform, please, please respond. 15 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:47.000 I have, I have learned something recently and it is this. When I was a young Christian, even though it that's back in the 70s, there was much more maturity than regarding speculation, questions, what ifs dealing with doubts, interpretation, 16 00:02:47.000 --> 00:03:01.000 what does the scripture say? Let's examine the whole Bible. I have to say, in those of you, by the way, who come out of the Jesus revolution era, not that you had to be involved in it or experienced it. 17 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:21.000 But I'd love for you to comment on on the section below or let us know how it was. Let me know if it was like this for you. But when you would hear something, we didn't have the internet. 18 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:39.000 Oh, well, we didn't have the internet like we have, obviously, we had what was the internet of the day, which was the strong concordance of the Bible. I'm not kidding. I wish I had mine here. It's about this thick. What is that? 19 00:03:39.000 --> 00:04:05.000 Three and a half inches thick. It's about that big. It's huge. It took James strong. I believe 37 years to create that work. And it is, it is a book that references and gives definition of the Greek Hebrew and Aramaic words of the original Bible. 20 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:28.000 All words, every word, even the word a or an or the amazing, amazing work. And so that said, we would have to go like this for hours. And so back in those days, we didn't watch much TV. 21 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:57.000 But we all got together. And I say we all like five, six, seven, 10 friends. We would actually make it a weekly habit. We'd get together on Friday nights after work. And we would spend till 12, 1, 2 o'clock in the morning, going through the scripture, asking questions. Hey, did you hear about this? So and so said this. I don't think that's true. Well, let's find out. Oh, my goodness. I didn't know about that verse. Those kinds of things. It was awesome. It was awesome. And by the way, when we were wrong about some, 22 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:18.000 something, it wasn't nobody hated, nobody hated anyone for being wrong. Nobody got all upset when they were corrected. I thought, gosh, I thought that's how it was. Well, why did you think that? I don't know. I was brought up that way to think that the Bible said this. 23 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:33.000 Like, for example, God helps those who help themselves. I thought that was in the Bible. That's not on the Bible, folks. In fact, God helps those who can't help themselves. Anyway, we're going to kind of do that today. 24 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:45.000 We're going to kind of do that today. And this is also fun because this is going to challenge where you stand. Hang on. 25 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:52.000 Where do you stand regarding how you understand your Bible? 26 00:05:52.000 --> 00:06:03.000 Okay. How do you understand your Bible when you read it? Do you have to go to people for you to understand the Bible? 27 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:16.000 Do you not even look at your Bible until Sunday morning and you get it spoon-fed to you by the pastor at church? I hope not. That would be a year inemic if that's the case. 28 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:30.000 I hope not. Listen, the Sunday sermon should be salt and pepper or some in California. It'd be salsa on your Bible knowledge because you should be establishing a Bible knowledge every day. 29 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:45.000 You should read something of the scriptures and then pray that through. Okay. You should just do that. So for me, personally, privately tonight, I'm going to sit down and read Jeremiah chapter six because that's where I'm at in my personal Bible reading. 30 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:54.000 And then I'm going to close it. I'm just going to pray through what God brings to my memory after reading. That's how I pray. 31 00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:08.000 But God wants to speak to you from His Word. You don't have to go to Jack Hibbs or John MacArthur or, I don't know, somebody else to see what God is saying to you. 32 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:20.000 You can go and study these guys and listen, but you better judge what I'm saying or what MacArthur is saying or has said. 33 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:36.000 I don't care who they are. I don't care how cool they are. I don't care how astute they are. I don't care how big they are. It's irrelevant. Don't be duped by that kind of stuff. What are they saying in light of what the Bible says? 34 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:50.000 And listen, there are some areas in the scripture where we can say something like this. Hey, at this time of where we're at in the 21st century, we're not exactly sure what that means yet. That's for a future generation to understand more. 35 00:07:50.000 --> 00:08:05.000 And I say that from experience because folks listen up. There were things that going back to where you could look at scholars such as 36 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:28.000 D. Martin Lloyd Jones or JC Ryle or you might go back and see what Spurgeon was saying. And they might be saying something and they had no idea that you in the 21st century would have so much more clarity about that verse that when you look back and you read what they said back then, these were brilliant scholars. 37 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:46.000 And you now know more about that verse than they did back then. Why? Because now you're living in the time and it's more clear. Paul put it this way. Right now we look through a glass that is foggy or dimly lit. 38 00:08:46.000 --> 00:09:01.000 But then we'll see with clarity. God said it to Daniel. Daniel, the prophecy I just gave you seal it up. No one's going to understand it until the end of time. Then they will know. 39 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.000 Then you get the book of Revelation. That is the book of what? 40 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:24.000 Revelation that Jesus Christ is revealed regarding the last days. Wow, think about it. The Jesus Christ of the Bible is seen in technic color in the book of Revelation in the last days. 41 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:37.000 Friends, a thousand years ago, people thought that the book of Revelation was just all mythological or allegorical or some sort of story book. 42 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:45.000 And it's not. It turns out to be the fulfillment recorded prophetically of the book of Daniel. 43 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:53.000 The book of Revelation is a commentary on the book of Daniel regarding what's going to happen in the future. 44 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:59.000 Having said all that, do you know what's going to happen in the future regarding the millennium? The millennium? 45 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:08.000 The word millennium, if you put the Latin in the Greek definitions together, it means 1,000 years. 46 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:16.000 Now, I know there are people who do not believe that Jesus is going to rule and reign for a thousand years. Those people are called wrong. 47 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:33.000 The Bible teaches that Christ must sit on the throne of David because God promised that from David's genealogy, the king would come who would be a forever king. 48 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:42.000 A descendant of David would rule on earth for a thousand years and he would be the king. 49 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:56.000 He would have a government, he would have politics called the kingdom of Christ or the kingdom of God or the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ or the kingdom age, we call it. 50 00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:03.000 It's when, oh boy, here's some great controversy, shouldn't be, but people are not so bright these days. 51 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:12.000 They just read the Bible, they get smart, is there's going to be a thousand year reign of Jesus Christ from the city of Jerusalem. 52 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:32.000 And he is going to reign over the land or the kingdom of Israel, which is extremely well documented in its parameters from up into the regions of Syria today, way over to the regions of the Euphrates River, all the way down, 53 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:52.000 all the way over past the Sinai Peninsula, over to the Nile River and back up to Jerusalem, that was the promised land that was given to Abraham, that land is going to be realized only when Jesus sits upon the throne of David. 54 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:58.000 And if you want to read more about it and read slowly, it's awesome. 55 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:05.000 But we got to dial down and we got to pick awesome because there's tons of awesome stuff about the millennium regarding the environment. 56 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:13.000 If you're an environmentalist by the way, you should become a Christian because the real environment is going to happen when Jesus comes back. 57 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:21.000 Man, is he going to fix things? The Bible tells us the deserts are going to bloom like a bouquet and he's going to put streams in the deserts. 58 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.000 He's going to turn those areas into incredible blessings and beauty. 59 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:34.000 There's going to be mountains, there's going to be water, there's going to be what must be lakes and rivers and animals, the millennium. 60 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:47.000 It's going to be amazing. He is going to refurbish and restore that which is under the curse of sin and he's going to rule and reign. 61 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:53.000 And I'm not going to get into other specifics because you're going to start asking questions, how come you didn't bring this up? 62 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:59.000 I don't know the time to bring other things up because honestly, there are hundreds of topics, but this is a fun one. 63 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:04.000 And I want to give you this one just to freak you out for the weekend, just for you to like, what? 64 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:14.000 And so during the weekend, I want you to turn off whatever's going on. It's not important. It doesn't, doesn't matter if the Rams are playing the goats, turn it off. 65 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:24.000 And read Ezekiel, start reading the Ezekiel 30, maybe 32, maybe 34, all the way through to the end of Ezekiel. 66 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:32.000 So let's just make it simple. Start reading the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 30, all the way through to the end of the book and you're going to get into the millennium. 67 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:41.000 And I just want to point out a few things just to get you all excited about it and also listen, a word of advice. 68 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:47.000 Please look, you're going to do what you want to do anyway, but I'm just trying to keep you from looking like a crazy person. 69 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:54.000 When you hear something you don't know and you quickly respond, you don't look good. Don't do that. 70 00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:01.000 If you hear something which you're about to hear that you've never heard before, but it's in the Bible, it's in the Bible. 71 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:07.000 I'm not telling you something that's not in the Bible, but I'm telling you something that is rarely ever taught or rarely ever read. 72 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.000 Don't start immediately commenting, I don't believe it. That's not true. 73 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:19.000 Don't look like a goober because you need to wait and go read and find out, oh my gosh, that's amazing. I didn't know that before. 74 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:24.000 Okay, can you handle that? That's how we used to do it. Folks back in the old days. 75 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:33.000 That's how we used to do it. We used to study cross reference, read other chapters of the Bible, find out where does this word apply? 76 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:42.000 Where does this word appear? What does it mean? Who else said it? What context does it arrive in? Fascinating. 77 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:55.000 There's a lot of people today that study the Bible, they have no idea that there's actually rules to biblical interpretation that are universally applied to keep you from becoming a cult member. 78 00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:11.000 You know that? There is a way to interpret the Bible. By the way, I highly recommend that you get involved in what is known as an inductive Bible study course, inductive Bible study course or style of study. 79 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:31.000 You'll never go astray, you'll never be bamboozled, and you'll never follow some strange shepherd. If you do this, shepherd being Jesus, the chief shepherd, you'll never follow some nut because if anybody knows even a little bit of the Bible, they could start a cult. 80 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:42.000 And God doesn't want that to happen. So here we go, listen to this. I mentioned a moment ago if you started in Ezekiel chapter 30 and read all the way through, you're going to learn some interesting things about the millennium? How about this one? 81 00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:57.000 Did you know that during the millennium when Christ returns, it commences in Daniel chapter 12, you can start there and take a peek, but it commences after Christ returns in the second coming. 82 00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:14.000 He sits on the throne of David and the first job that he begins to do is that he begins to judge the nations that were existing during the tribulation period. 83 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:31.000 And he's going to separate them. It says like a shepherd separates sheep from the goats. Hear me out. When he separates the nations, nations are made up of people. 84 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:48.000 So nations being like America, Canada, Germany. There's national judgment and there's personal judgment. You can have, you'll be an individual and you'd exist in a nation. 85 00:16:48.000 --> 00:17:08.000 When Jesus Christ returns, he will judge the nations and it's clear from Matthew chapter 25. Remember this context is everything. Matthew chapter 24, chapter 25 describes the context of the tribulation period. 86 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:24.000 When he returns at the end, he's going to judge the nations and he's going to do that from his throne and the throne in his politics. Yes, Jesus will have politics, folks. Get used to it. He's the king. That's political. 87 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:39.000 He has a throne, a seat of power and he has a dominion and he has a rule and a reign and he has his justice. That's all politics. Jesus will finally show the world how politics is supposed to be. 88 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:51.000 And when he does that, he's going to execute judgment with perfect, perfect justice. And that said, there's some things that you're going to see in the reading of Ezekiel. 89 00:17:51.000 --> 00:18:09.000 One of them is in Ezekiel chapter 34 verses 23 and 24. Please mark it down. Ezekiel 34 verses 23 and 24. Did you know that David is coming back? King David will be coming back, but he will not be king. 90 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:21.000 In the resurrection, David's going to be resurrected prior to the commencement of the millennium. When Jesus Christ returns, check this out. 91 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:32.000 David, at the commencement of the millennium, you see, you never read this before, have you? That's why you need to read Ezekiel starting in verse chapter 30. 92 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:53.000 David in Ezekiel 34, 23 and 24 is no longer the king of Israel or the king of Jerusalem. He's the prince. He's known as Prince David and he serves King Jesus. 93 00:18:53.000 --> 00:19:15.000 He presides over Jerusalem and Israel as the prince. In fact, the scripture tells you that David will be the prince and the Lord God will be the king. Have you ever heard that before? Read it. It's awesome. How about this? 94 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:34.000 Ezekiel chapter 40 to 43 reads this, that there's going to be a future temple that is going to be erected somehow miraculously by Christ himself. Don't confuse that temple. Listen, there's the millennial temple and then there's the tribulation temple. There's a big difference. 95 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:47.000 Now there's no temple, but we know that after the church is raptured that the antichrist is going to stand in the temple in Jerusalem and declare himself to be God. 96 00:19:47.000 --> 00:20:02.000 Read 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. Read Matthew chapter 24 around verse 15. Wow, because when the Jews see that it's at the midpoint apparently of the tribulation period they're going to flee. 97 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:27.000 And the antichrist is going to declare himself to be God in the temple in Jerusalem. That temple is going to be destroyed and Christ will establish his temple for the millennium. And the Bible tells us that not only will there be a temple, but in Ezekiel 43 verses 18 to 27, that's Ezekiel 43 verses 18 to 27. 98 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:49.000 That God there gives the instructions for the burnt offerings and for the sin offerings to be offered up on the altar. And this is where people's minds are like blown. Wait a minute. What? I thought Jesus was the offering. He is. I thought all of that was done. It was done. Watch this. Watch my hands. 99 00:20:49.000 --> 00:21:16.000 Before Christ came to the cross, the offerings were expected to be offered up. God gave that to Moses. But you do know right that God said those offerings cannot take away sin. They cover sin. They cover it, but they don't take it away. It's a covering until the promise comes. Jesus is the promise. 100 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:30.000 You have the Old Testament. I guess I should do it on this side of the I think I'm thinking you're viewing it on the on the different side of for reversed Old Testament to the coming of Jesus Christ, animal sacrifices. 101 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:40.000 For what reason pointing to the promise that was given to Abraham and the Old Testament prophets that the Messiah would someday come. 102 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:59.000 I just read it the other day that as Jesus, excuse me, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, Jesus said, so the son of man must be lifted up. That's a perfect statement. 103 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:09.000 Just as there was the symbol of the serpent on the pole for judgment, Jesus Christ will be raised up on the cross for judgment. 104 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:21.000 All of that leading up spoke about the coming of the Messiah. Now watch this. Here's the Messiah. Christ born, Christ lives, Christ dies, Christ is resurrected right here. 105 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:29.000 After that, there's been the age of grace, the church age is what we're living in right now. That's about ready to come to an end. 106 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:42.000 That's when the church is raptured up and out of here. Then there's the dispensation where God brings back online, Daniel chapter 9, for example. 107 00:22:42.000 --> 00:23:01.000 God goes to work with the Jewish people, much of the book of Isaiah. He begins to deal with the nations of the world and begins to fulfill the 144,000 Hebrew-speaking male virgin Jews that are evangelists throughout all the world. 108 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:10.000 John says that he sees a number saved. That is so great. Nobody can number them, but they will have to die for their faith during the tribulation period. 109 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:28.000 At the end of the seven-year period of time, when Christ returns, listen, he establishes his thousand-year reign, and during that time, there will be those who will enter into the kingdom of God, into the joy of the Lord. 110 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:36.000 When Jesus separates the sheep from the goats, notice where he does it and why he does it. Where he does it is in Jerusalem. 111 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:43.000 Why does he do it? He says, as much as you've did it under the least of these, my brother, and you've done it unto me. 112 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:54.000 I believe that it is a clear reference in the context. Context, context, context. Jesus is referring to my brother in the Jews. 113 00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:05.000 How did the nations of the earth choose to treat the Jews during the tribulation period as individuals as well? 114 00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:14.000 Those nations, which are made up of people, Gentiles will be judged. The criteria will be Matthew chapter 25. Go read it later. 115 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:22.000 Notice this, that those who pass that test, by the way, nowhere does it say they're born again. It just doesn't say. 116 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:31.000 It doesn't say that they're saved. It doesn't say. It just says that they enter into the kingdom and they repopulate the earth. 117 00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:42.000 They plow fields. They work the soil. There's life. There's living. As Christ is king and David's the prince. 118 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:53.000 And there'll be these places. And then we, us, the believer, having returned the bride of Christ, the scripture tells us that we will rule and reign with him as well. 119 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.000 So this is amazing. Watch this. So then what's the sacrifices for? 120 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:09.000 If Jesus was the sacrifice, why are those people offering up a sacrifice? And why is it that on Passover, they're going to offer up a lamb every year for a thousand years? 121 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:14.000 I thought Jesus was the lamb. He is the lamb. 122 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:22.000 Those sacrifices are to remind those mortals that live at that time, what he did for them. 123 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:32.000 There's going to be incredible, expositional constancy of scripture, Old Testament moving this way. 124 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:39.000 New Testament prophetic era included moving this way. And there's a handshake in Christ is right in the middle. 125 00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:47.000 Old Testament pointed to him. New Testament era in the millennial millennium pointing back to him. 126 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:56.000 And those living in the world at that time will at some point in time have to make a decision to worship Christ to believe in Christ or not. 127 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:02.000 See, man, that's weird, isn't it? It is. I mean, it's different. I shouldn't say it's weird. It's different to us. 128 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:09.000 But you know, it's wild is that the Bible says that you'll be able to see Christ. The scripture says this and this. 129 00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:22.000 The Bible tells us in the Old Testament that if a nation does not come to worship the Lord annually in Jerusalem, he will withhold rain from that country. 130 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.000 Wow. That's amazing. 131 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:36.000 So the nations will have an ability to choose to worship him or not to be thankful to his government or not. 132 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:48.000 The Bible tells us in Isaiah that when a man dies at the age of 100, people are going to mourn for a man at the age of 100 for his death as though a child had died. 133 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:53.000 Long jeopardy is going to increase because the environment is going to be so wonderful. 134 00:26:53.000 --> 00:27:06.000 But remember this, folks, the sacrifices that will happen during the millennium point to what Jesus did to all those who dwell on earth, it will be a reminder. 135 00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:25.000 Just as the sacrifices in the past were foretelling what Christ would be about, the sacrifices in the future will be looking back to what Christ has done for them. 136 00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:37.000 And then the Bible tells us if you read the book of Revelation chapter 21 and 22, you will read there that Satan will be released at the end. 137 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:48.000 And he will go about the world deceiving people, trying to get them to overturn the government of Christ. 138 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:53.000 And that's not going to succeed. But he's going to draw people after him, which means what? 139 00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:58.000 People will choose, always choice. God built us to always exercise choice. 140 00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:08.000 Until you and I are completely either dead, resurrected, raptured, until we're in glory, we have the ability to choose. 141 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:13.000 Thank God that after that our sin nature will be gone from us. 142 00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:22.000 Man, can I hear an amen? Can you imagine, friend, living your life without a sin nature? I can't even begin to imagine what that must be like. 143 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:40.000 But once you and I are redeemed and glorified, you can read Romans chapter 8 beginning at about verse 26, out to about verse 30, 30 something. It's amazing. 144 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:54.000 But here's what I want you to think about. Jesus is going to be the king sitting on the throne of David because that was promised to David that upon his throne the Messiah would come. 145 00:28:54.000 --> 00:29:02.000 So the prophecies will be fulfilled because Jesus Christ must sit on the throne of David or else he's not Jesus. 146 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:08.000 But David will not be king. David will be prince, the prince. 147 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:14.000 There will be sacrifices during the millennium that remind people of what Jesus did for them. 148 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:20.000 Just like Old Testament sacrifices promised what the Messiah would do for them. 149 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:26.000 You and I will be as church, the church age, we will be the bride of Christ. 150 00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.000 We're different than the tribulation saints. Folks listen, we're almost done. 151 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:42.000 There's the Old Testament saints that technically ended with John the Baptist. Go do your research on that. 152 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:53.000 Then there are from the Old Testament saints, then there's the church age saints or what is known as the bride of Christ that's us. 153 00:29:53.000 --> 00:30:08.000 And then there's the tribulation saints or the end time saints from the tribulation period onward saints who come to believe. 154 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:17.000 What's interesting and I got to wrap this up. Old Testament saints, it's spoken of them in the Bible as wearing white robes. 155 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:30.000 Tribulation saints, saints beyond the tribulation from the tribulation period on until the end of the millennium speaks about them wearing white robes. 156 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:39.000 In the middle there is that bride of Christ, she's called the bride of Christ. John says, I will show you. 157 00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:45.000 Ephesians tells us that we are the bride of Christ, Ephesians 5, other places of the Bible. 158 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:53.000 That said, never does it say that the bride of Christ is given white robes to wear. 159 00:30:53.000 --> 00:31:05.000 The Bible tells us she is given fine white linen. It's a different word, clean and bright, which are the righteous acts of the saints. 160 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:24.000 The context is tribulation saints. I'm sorry, church age saints, robes leading up, robes on the other end in the middle, the bride of Christ wears white robes of linen, marriage, wedding, gown, garments. 161 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:29.000 Not just robes, beyond all that, something special, quite amazing. 162 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:46.000 So here's your homework. Get a group together, listen to this podcast, get all upset about it, and then start reading Ezekiel 30 all the way through to the end of the book and you're going to be quite blessed. 163 00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:51.000 Tell you what, that'll keep you guys probably busy for some weekends. 164 00:31:51.000 --> 00:32:05.000 Because you're going to do cross referencing, man, you're going to get into Jeremiah, you're going to get into Ezekiel, you're going to get into Revelation, you're going to get into Peter, it's going to take you into the gospels, it's going to take you into the book of Joel. 165 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:18.000 Amazing stuff. So listen, please wrapping this up, be in the Bible, stay in the Bible, and I can't stress enough. 166 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:28.000 Yes, God has given in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of an evangelist, the gift of a teacher, the gift of a pastor teacher. 167 00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:38.000 Yes, but listen, all of these ministries that are verbal, you've got to judge what you hear against the Bible. 168 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:49.000 So the question goes like this, I've never heard about David ever being a future prince, what you just did, true or false, check it out, take a look and see. 169 00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:56.000 I've never heard about Jesus ruling for a thousand years, what you did today, go check it out, see if the Bible says it. 170 00:32:56.000 --> 00:33:06.000 And don't do AI or don't do Google this or whatever, find out for yourself, find out for yourself, go go look and see. 171 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:18.000 And then maybe after all of your research, right, and cross reference of scripture reading, then find out what others say, but judge what they say against the Bible. 172 00:33:18.000 --> 00:33:27.000 Will you do that? If you do that, you'll never stumble, you'll never fail, you'll, you'll never falter, and you'll never be led astray. 173 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:40.000 I don't care how, how charismatic somebody is, I don't care what color their suit is or how long their beard is or how, I don't care, I do not care. 174 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:45.000 Friends, Bible, Bible. 175 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:55.000 And when the Bible reads for itself, let it stand for itself, don't try to read stuff into it, let it talk to you, God is able. 176 00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.000 But bless you guys until next time. 177 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:07.000 This Jack Hibbs podcast as well as all the broadcast outreach opportunities are listener supported. 178 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:16.000 Will you consider partnering with us through a special gift?
