Amen all right well last week I preached a sermon called lies about the new IFB
and I didn't quite get to point number five on that so I just figured this would
be probably a three-part sermon series and the reason why is because there's a
lot of lies being told about the new IFB and what is the new IFB look the new IFB
is not a denomination all right we are a church and we just we believe certain
things and so when people hear new IFB we want them to understand you know the
the doctrines that we believe and so that kind of identifies us as to what we
believe and there's certain things that we believe that the old IFB doesn't
believe the old IFB does not believe some of the things that we teach but the
problem is is that they're not dispelling and and and challenging our
doctrine with truth they're trying to challenge our doctrine by making up lies
about us by making up lies about what we believe so I wanted to start off with
Matthew chapter 5 look at verse number 10 so this is part 2 about lies about
the new IFB I think I have one at least one more sermon left to preach out of
this but Matthew 5 10 says blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven so when people are
persecuting us look and I'm not saying that people aren't gonna people are
gonna persecute us for the things that we believe why because they persecuted
Christ because they persecuted the prophets they persecuted Moses they
persecuted all the prophets that came before us and they're gonna do the same
thing with people that are holding the truth in righteousness okay so blessed
are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you
and shall say all manner of evil against you what falsely for my sake and so
there's gonna be people even in your own families even your old friends people
that you work with and there's gonna be people all the time that are gonna say
they're gonna revile you they're gonna persecute you they're gonna lie about
you and say all manner of false accusations against you why for Jesus
sake because of Jesus and so the reason why I'm preaching these is because the
sermon the sermon series is because I want people to understand you know I
want people to be able to go and say hey what do the new out what what really do
they believe and so when these lies are being spread around these churches and
it's not just the old I have to be it's other churches to lies about what we
believe lies about what our church teaches I want them to be able to click
on YouTube or something and say hey well this is what they say this is what they
believe and so I want them to be able to see the things that we're accused of and
then I can just dispel those lies about what they're saying about us and you
know what I'm gonna use it with I'm not gonna use my opinion I'm gonna go right
to this book right here the Word of God the King James Bible and I'm gonna show
from the Bible what we teach and not from my own opinion look we actually do
have a verse about the rapture and they don't they haven't for years look when
in Revelation check this what do they say in Revelation chapter 4 that they
say that when the Trump you know that when John was carried up in the spirit
and heard the voice of a trumpet whatever they say that that's the
rapture it says he was carried up in spirit that doesn't you know and they
want to talk they want to accuse us of spiritualizing the scriptures well what
about spiritualizing that one pot kettle black right so anyway look at verse 12
it says rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven for
so persecuted persecuted they the prophets which were before you see Jesus
said that that was gonna happen he said we're gonna be accused falsely he said
that people are gonna revile us and hate us why do they hate us well they hated
Jesus they nailed him to the cross so why would we think anything different
look when the people aren't being persecuted then I'm suspect of them when
people aren't seeing bad stuff about the old IFB then I'm suspect but you know
what they're what people are saying that's bad about them things that are
true like they let perverts in their churches and they send perverts to other
churches to be perverted somewhere else and just kind of sweep it under the rug
that's called a scandal they're being persecuted for that because it's true
see you don't want to be persecuted for things that you really are doing because
that's just persecution you know who's gonna bring that down God so what does
persecution mean it means hostility and ill treatment especially because of race
or political or religious beliefs I'll read that for you again persecution
means hostility and ill treatment especially especially because of race
political or religious beliefs in this case it would be religious beliefs
hostility ill treatment and that doesn't always have to be death or beatings that
can be things that people say with them what their mouth and hey things that
people say with their mouth can't hurt and words are powerful and we should be
careful the way we use our mouths but you know these people are just flat-out
lying about us and so if you have to prop up your doctrines by lying about
about about who you're disputing with what does that make you I mean it just
it's wicked like I'm not gonna sit there and lie about the old life being say
that they believe things they don't believe I was in the old IFB for years
and there's a reason why I'm out of it you know why I'm out of it because they
started teaching lies and they've let the wolves take over and they're
preaching a false gospel at most of these churches now or at least teetering
on that side of it so let's have a word of prayer and I'm gonna get into the
message all right Heavenly Father we thank you Lord so much for this
wonderful day Lord I pray that you'd help me to preach this sermon help me to
be wise and help me to say the things that you just want me to say Lord and
help me to be gracious also but at the same time just establish the facts and
show clearly from Scripture what we believe Lord and to help dispel the lies
that are being propped up against us in Jesus name afraid amen so my goal for
preaching this series is twofold I want to dispel the lies being told number one
about the new IFB movement again not a denomination all right they're just
churches there's churches that we fellowship with and we don't all agree
on every single little thing see that's my point number one last week was that
we're that they lie about us and say that we're in a cult and the pastor
Anderson's our Pope or our leader I'll tell you I and last week I said there's
things that I might not a hundred percent agree with pastor Anderson about
but I'm sure there's things that he doesn't hundred percent agree with me
about either and look they're not big things though you know if it was
salvation I would I wouldn't consider them someone to fellowship with I wouldn't
I wouldn't fellowship with them so if it's a big if it's a big doctrine there's
I just won't fellowship with people that are perpetuating like false doctrine
right so anyway and then number two I'm hoping to wake up some pastors that are
on the fence and pastor McRae sure he really does a great job of bringing
bringing these guys out and finding the guys that are probably on the fence or
maybe they're not exactly like us but they'd still fellowship with us you know
and he does a great job about bringing those guys out I think that's kind of
his gift is being a peacemaker with the old IFP and finding the ones that you
know maybe they're not so they're not so bad you know and I'm also hoping to wake
up the people in the pews that have misconceptions about new IFB churches
because of the lies that are being told about us they're just flat-out lying so
I just want to make a statement any church that has to tell lies to defeat
doctrine is the one that's false they're the ones it's false and so these lot so
there's a lot of things that people disagree with us about in the old IFB
but I'm just going after the flat-out lies that they tell because there's a
lot of stuff that we disagree with about that I could crush them from the Bible
very easily on but I'm just trying to crush their lies the lies that they tell
I'm gonna tell you what we believe and why we believe them and what Bible verses
prop that stuff up okay so Proverbs chapter 18 I read we read from that last
week he that answer if a matter in verse number 13 before he heareth it it is
folly and shame unto him so anybody that's listening to the lies that are
being told about us and they just believe them because pastor said so or
because that's what I heard some buffoon say online well you know what before you
you should not judge or answer a matter before you've actually heard what we
actually believe and so if you want to know what we believe download this
sermon download the sermon from last week download the sermon from next week
and you'll know about what we believe and we can dispel those lies and
falsehoods the folly and shame unto someone to sit there just believe
somebody because pastor said so all right and I don't expect you to believe
everything I say because pastor said so you know what's great about being in a
church when you have your Bible open with me and brother Joe we're talking
about this yesterday when you're watching sermons online most people
don't take their Bible and follow along with them some people do I'm sure they
do but a lot of times you're downloading them and listening to them while you're
working or doing something clean the kitchen or whatever you're doing and or
taking care of the babies or whatever you know whatever you're doing sometimes
you don't have a chance to hold a Bible in your hand but I'll tell you what when
you're in church you should have a Bible out in front of you you should be able
to judge what I'm saying from this from this book right here and if I say
something that's different then come up and kindly correct me and tell me I'm
wrong you know be and treat me as a father I mean don't come up and go you're
wrong pastor Thompson because then you're gonna be met with violence no I'm
just kidding not violence violence of words all right but anyway so I expect
you to check what I say and if I say sometimes you know people say stuff the
wrong sometimes and most of the time it's when you're going off your notes
when you start to delve into the to saying something that you might might
maybe you should have said but anyway it happens sometimes but anyway so let's
see Acts chapter 28 I read we finished that book last week let's turn over
there real quickly then I'll be out of the introductory introduction of the
sermon so Acts chapter number 28 let's look at verse 22 and I preached out of
this Thursday night concerning the old IFB but anyway acts 28 verse 22 says but
we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest for us concerning this sect we
know that everywhere it is spoken against and so this is what's happening
when people start believing the lies that are told about us that they say hey
we know what people we know what the old of the the new IFB is evil spoken
against we know people are speaking evil about this and it's spoken against
badly and everywhere you know and all these old IFB churches right so you know
and but it's good for them to actually see what we believe unfortunately they
don't want to hear the truth about what we believe they just believe the evil
that people speak against us without checking it for themselves that's wrong
and that's wicked and I know what the old IFB believed because I went there
for years I've only been a new IFB guy for you know you know maybe five or six
years or something but all the rest of my Christianity I've been a bat on old
IFB Baptist and I know that some of the thing they've never been able to prove
the preacher rapture ever and so anyway I'm gonna give you a quick recap of last
week so you know where we're out here in case you weren't here for the sermon
last week or you didn't hear it number one lie about the new IFB is that we're
a cult pastor Anderson's our leader I crushed that last week and lie number
two that we're one two three repeat after me that's another why that the old
IFB and others would like to say about us it's not true number three we don't
believe in repentance but that's not true we do believe in repentance we just
don't believe it like they do okay and we know lie number four is that we hate
Jews okay and we don't hate Jews we want everybody in the world to be saved we we
believe that everybody you know should be given a chance to be saved right and
we don't hate Jews we hate the religion just like we hate the Mormon religion
just like we hate the Jehovah's Witnesses just like we hate Hindu religion we
don't hate the people we hate the religion okay and lie number five is
that we believe a mid-trib rapture who's heard that before oh they believe the
mid-trib rapture which is not true you know and no matter how many times you
explain it to Andrew Andrew the moron sleuter who believes in space aliens and
Bigfoot you know the more the more they just keep continuing to perpetuate that
lie and see Andrew sleuter has respect with the old IFB or whatever they these
people you know they don't know their Bibles they don't know how to preach
they don't know they use one verse and preach a bunch of fluff and stories and
fishing stories and whatever and then they depend on the ruckmanites for their
doctrine and they're so screwed up in their doctrine they believe that you
can be divorced remarried multiple times and still be the pastor says the husband
of one wife what part of that don't you understand anyway so they believe they
say that we believe in a mid-trib rapture turn to Matthew chapter number
24 and this might get a little complicated for you but hopefully it
won't get too complicated for me Matthew chapter 24 so they the lie that
they say is that we believe in a mid-trib rapture and I'm gonna show you
what we believe at least what I believe I hope you all believe it too that it's
not that we believe that that Jesus comes back after the tribulation that's
not mid tribulation that's after the tribulation that's what we believe okay
look at Matthew 24 verse 15 it says when do you therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophets stand in the holy
place who so readeth let him understand now skip down so Jesus is telling the
disciples you know they ask him what shall be the sign of thy coming and the
end of the world and so Jesus starts to explain to them the doctrine of Bible
end times Bible prophecy okay they've asked him he said hey when you see the
abomination of desolation obviously I don't have time to go through the whole
chapter that's a whole sermon right but he said when you see the abomination of
desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophets stand in the holy place who so
readeth let him understand look this is Jesus saying hey when you're reading
this you need to understand it okay he wants you to understand it it's not
really that complicated so look at verse 20 21 skip down 21 says for then shall
be great tribulation so what are we talking about here the great tribulation
so it's a great tribulation before the abomination of desolation or after the
abomination of desolation what is the what is the midpoint of the seventh the
final 70th week that's when the abomination of desolation happens okay
and I'll prove that to you later on here in these in these verses but it
says for then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of
the world to this time no nor ever shall be this is it this is the worst time of
persecution for the whole history of the world against believers and verse 22
says and and except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened so what's it talking
about the Great Tribulation okay he's talking about the great tribulation and
he says except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved
it's not talking about a spiritual salvation it's talking about flesh being
saved so if your flesh is not saved then it's gonna die right but it's it's
definitely not talking about a spiritual salvation even though that's what the
rucktards will teach that you have to keep God's law and believe in Jesus so
they say well you know even though Jesus died for all of your sins even though he
put the blood on the mercy seat up in heaven even though he's a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek hey you got to go back and keep the law to be
saved and believe in Jesus it's garbage dispensationalism is a bunch of garbage
it's foolishness so skip down to verse 29 says immediately after the
tribulation of those days shall the Sun be darkened and the moon shall not give
her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens
shall be shaken so he's telling us the things that are gonna happen right and
when it when does he say this happens though immediately after the tribulation
okay so the trip the tribulation the Great Tribulation starts at the midpoint
okay this happens when after the midpoint are we mid-trib no because
we're post-trib pre-wrath okay I mean that alone just should I should be able
to just close down this point and move on right but they they will sit there
and just don't you believe in mid-trib no dummy mid-trib is when the abomination
of desolation happens we don't believe that we don't believe that we believe
it's after the tribulation that's what the Bible says in verse 29 look at verse
30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and then shall all
the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the
clouds of heaven with power and great glory this is when after the tribulation
after the midpoint but is it at the end of the final seven of the final seven
years of human history no it's somewhere between okay and I'm we're gonna do some
math today and it will I'll try not to make it too complicated because I'm not
very good at math myself so but I want you to keep your Bible in Matthew chapter
24 because we're gonna go back and forth here for a few minutes and I want to
show you how this lines up with Revelation chapter 6 perfectly okay so
hold your finger there we're gonna be going back and forth I put a I got to
follow my own notes which says hold Bible at Matthew 24 dummy so anyway
that's a reminder a pleasant reminder to myself see I call myself dummy all right
turn to Revelation chapter 6 Revelation chapter number 6 now let's look at verse
number 9 together so we just read what Jesus said the abomination of
desolation except those days should be shortened great tribulation when Jesus
coming back after the tribulation then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man
in heaven and the tribes of the earth shall mourn and they shall see the Son
of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory is that is
there any doubt that that's talking about when Jesus comes back again okay
revelation 6 9 says and when he had opened the fifth seal I saw under the
altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God and for the
testimony which they held and they cried with a loud voice saying how long o Lord
holy and true dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on
the earth and white robes were given unto every one of them and it was said
unto them that they should rest yet how long for a little season flip back to
Matthew chapter 24 look at verse number 22 just keep your finger there just flip
back so we're in verse 11 that they should rest yet for a little season and
then it says in Matthew 24 verse 22 except those days be what shortened okay
so you got a little season that's a short period of time isn't it and then
Jesus said in Matthew 24 22 except those days be shortened it's talking about the
same thing is it not okay now turn back to Revelation 6 11 it says for a little
season until their fellow servants also and their brethren that should be killed
as they were should be fulfilled so what's happening here these tribulation
Saints okay the the the old IFB wants to talk about tribulation Saints well
these really are tribulation Saints these are people that were killed
during the Great Tribulation but there's also all the martyrs that were killed
before them and they're asking these it seems to me like these people just got
to heaven they're like how long oh Lord are you are you gonna wait to avenge us
and he says rest for a little rest yet for a little season until the fellow
servant died their fellow servants and their brethren that should be killed as
they were should be fulfilled and so that is the short season they have to
wait just a little bit of time because except those days be shortened no flesh
should be saved right and so if it was allowed to continue on as it was going
in the Great Tribulation then nobody would live through it okay but God said
hey it's just gonna be for a short time and when does the Great Tribulation
start when does it start midpoint right so that's when the midpoint is we don't
believe in the mid tribulation rapture just saying that again all right look at
verse 12 back in Revelation 6 it says and I be held when he had opened the
sixth seal and lo there was a great earthquake and the Sun became black as
sackcloth of hair and the moon became as blood now look back at Matthew chapter
24 in verse number 29 okay what what happened here as you're turning as
you're flipping back what happened here you know the sixth seal was opened and
there was a great earthquake okay and the Sun became black as sackcloth of
hair and the moon became as blood Matthew 24 verse 29 immediately after
the tribulation of those days shall the Sun be darkened and the moon shall not
give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heaven
shall be shaken does that match up you know it does that matches up perfectly
with Matthew chapter 24 verse 29 the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair but
notice when in Revelation chapter 6 so what has happened here what should we
know by reading this verse that this verse happens after the tribulation so
the tribulation in Revelation chapter 6 is already over at the breaking of the
sixth seal and look at verse 13 it says and the stars of heaven fell onto the
earth and that's what it says also in Matthew chapter 24 verse 29 it says the
star shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be shaken in
Revelation 6 verse 13 it says the stars fell onto the earth and even as a fig
tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind do you see
what I'm saying the correlation here lines up perfectly with Matthew chapter
24 okay now look at verse 14 it says and the heaven departed as a scroll when
it's rolled together and every mountain an island or moved out of their places
what happened right there a great earthquake okay what to say in Matthew
chapter 24 verse 29 it says immediately after the tribulation those days shall
the Sun be darkened the moon shall not give her light and the stars of that
shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken verse 30 and
then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven when they shall and then
shall all the tribes of the earth mourn they shall see the Son of Man coming in
the clouds of heaven with power and great glory okay so the Bible talks
about all these signs happening at the time after the tribulation revelation
chapter 6 clearly shows that these line up perfectly with Matthew chapter 24 now
turn back to Revelation 6 5 where you had your finger there you should have
says and the kings of the earth and the great men and the rich men and the chief
captains of the mighty men and every bond man and every free man hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains and said to the
mountains and rocks fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on
the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb see this is when when the rapture
happens the day of the Lord begins right after that okay so why are they afraid
because the wrath of God is coming they said to the mountains and rocks fall on
us they're so scared they would rather have rocks and mountains fall on top of
them to have to face the wrath of the Lamb and it says in verse 17 for the
great day of his wrath is come and who shall be able to stand so what do we
believe at this church we believe in a post-tribulation pre-wrath rapture so
what has happened in these verses in Revelation while the signs that it said
in Matthew chapter 24 have happened so that means it's after the tribulation
and at and then it says the wrath has come so what's happened in between this
time there's a rapture has happened okay and it wasn't at the midpoint the mid
points when the abomination of desolation takes place turn to
Revelation chapter 7 verse 13 Revelation 7 verse 13 see we're not
appointed under wrath we're not gonna go through God's wrath you know who's gonna
go through God's wrath the people that are left the ones that they said how
long so we have are we gonna have to wait till your brethren are killed to
your fellow servants and your brethren are killed like you were and then that
ends and then God's right God Jesus comes raptures everybody else up those
that are dead those that are died in Christ before are raised up and then
those are alive and remain will be caught up together with the Lord and
those will ever be with the Lord right so verse number 13 in Revelation
third Revelation 7 says and one of the elders they answered saying unto me what
are these which are arrayed in white robes and whence came they this is the
next chapter the elders are like who were all these people come from and then
he said unto him sir thou knowest he said and he said unto me these are they
which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb so revelation 6 it doesn't show the
rapture happen here but it does you know that it happens because it's between
these signs and the great wrath and then in chapter 7 all these people appear in
heaven where they come from they were raptured up there all kindreds all
nations all tongues are up there in heaven and they all have white robes and
this guy is like sir John's like sir what where'd all these people come from
he's like you know you know where they're from you know where they're
from they are the ones that were raptured they're the ones that came out
of great tribulation they've washed their robes and made them white with the
blood of the Lamb so you know look it's easy for us to explain what we believe
it really is it really that complicated it's not that complicated but see they
just have they look at they look at scriptures through these ever seen like
mr. Magoo you know mr. Magoo is he's got like the thickest glasses on ever and
that's what that's what it is it's like these people look at the Bible with mr.
Magoo glasses or like coke bottle glasses or really thick glasses right
and they can't and they can't see it except for through their preconceived
notions and so if they would just look at the Bible for what it says it's super
easy to figure out it's super easy to discern I mean it's not the milk of the
word but it's still not that difficult turn to Daniel chapter 9 verse 26 and I
might only get one point in here today Daniel 9 verse 26 because this is the
one that they'll divide with us over to this is the one that this is the stuff
that people go well they're not their heretics you know what they believe they
believe that Jesus comes after the tribulation do so the Bible says and you
know what they have and then in the spirit the trumpet you know blue and I
was caught up in the spirit okay that's really clear clears mud that's not a
clear verse and you know people I'll ask people all the time where's your verse
where's your clear verse you know because John 3 16 is a pretty clear
verse about being saved and having everlasting life for God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him you got
to believe in Jesus should not perish but have everlasting life you don't have
to go to hell he had everlasting life that's pretty clear isn't it you know
what else is clear immediately after the tribulation of those days that's pretty
clear though that's not the right one Jesus comes in four phases Jesus comes
four times there's many you know there's many raptures that happen shut up he
comes back after the tribulation you don't have verses to back it up and just
shut your mouth because you don't know what you're talking about you have no
quit you have no John 3 16 that tells you when the preacher rapture happens
they have spiritualized verses that are not clear at all that means they're
twisting the scripture onto their own destruction I think you know what I
think that that the when the the timing of the Lord coming back I think it is a
big deal I think it is a big deal I think that if someone doesn't believe
that it is false doctrine it's heresy now is it ranked damnable heresy I don't
think it's damnable heresy but I still think it's wrong I still think you're
gonna get a lot of other stuff wrong when you teach this falsehood you know
why don't you just believe what the Bible says because they don't want to go
through tribulation they scared that's the truth Daniel 9 verse 26 so Daniel
70th week is a seven year time period and lap the last seven years of life as
we know it on this earth okay I just call it the last seven years because a
lot for forever I was told it's the tribulation of seven years it's not the
tribulation of seven years I just proved to you that after Revelation chapter 6
it's not the tribulation anymore it's the time of God's wrath after that so
it's the last seven years as we know it here on earth it's the time of the end
the last week okay 69 at the 69th week Messiah is cut off and then the prince
of the people that shall come you know the Roman Empire came and destroyed the
temple all right and so ever since then we've been waiting for that 70th week to
start how do I know it's on hold well because all the stuff that's in here
hasn't happened yet so that's how we know it's on hold look at verse 26 says
and after three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off but not for
himself you know he died for us he died on the cross for us not for himself it
says in the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and
the sanctuary and the end thereof shall be with the flood and unto the end of
the war desolations are determined this is where the gap happens okay verse 27
why is it a gap because that Prince it says the people of the prince that shall
come so he hasn't come yet the Antichrist hasn't come yet that's who
it's talking about here so the people of the prince is the Roman Empire so I
mean where the the Babylon I believe that that this Antichrist is cut does
come from the the Roman Empire somehow so anyway I'm not dogmatic about it but
I mean it's kind of what it says right anyway verse 27 he shall confirm a
covenant who's the he the prince that shall come shall confirm a covenant with
many for one week this is the final week this is the final week that's talking
about one week is is it how long is a week anybody seven days but it
represents seven years so that's how you do your math on that I don't have time
to go to Genesis but it explains it to you in Genesis but anyway it says let's
see where am I he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week and in
the midst of the week how long is the how long is the middle of a week three
and a half years right in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice
and oblation to cease and for the overspreading of abominations he shall
make it desolate this is where it's explaining to you what the abomination
of desolation is that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet that Jesus Christ
told us to look for okay how that went when does that happen the midst of the
week that's is that mid-trib no it's the midst of the week okay trying to
confuse you here it says even until the consummation and that determines shall
be poured upon the desolate so when does the abomination of desolation happen the
midst of the week turn to 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 2nd Thessalonians
chapter 2 is anybody confused does everybody understand if you don't that's
okay
just go back and listen to sermon later all right 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2
verse number 3 says let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not
come what day the day of the Lord's return except for the there shall be a
fallen away first and the man of sin be revealed the son of perdition when does
that happen the midst of the week who so opposeth and exalted himself above all
that is called God and that is worshiped so that he as God sitteth in the temple
of God showing himself that he is God this is what the abomination of
desolation is this man of sin the Antichrist the prince that shall come
he's gonna go into a rebuilt temple and he's gonna say I'm God I'm above
God I'm above all that's supposed to be worshiped and he's gonna sit in the
temple showing himself that he is God which is an abomination right and it
says and then Paul says remember you're not when I was with you I told you these
things so we believe at this church that at the at the midpoint the abomination
of desolation happens the Antichrist is revealed that's how we know that the
beginning of the tribulation the Great Tribulation starts then okay and that
that's not when we believe the rapture happens so when they say that about us
they're lying they're saying what that either they don't understand our
position which I really I don't believe that they don't understand our position
I don't believe that but you know the event of this man of sin being revealed
is the abomination of desolation and what people earn they think the final
seven years is the Great Tribulation and it's not the Great Tribulation is over
in Revelation 6 the wrath of God begins after the tribulation after the rapture
okay I think I proved that pretty clearly turn back to Revelation chapter
number 13 Revelation chapter number 13 look at verse number 3 I know this is a
lot of meat here but it's important that we go over this from time to time and so
that you have your understanding wrapped your your mind wrapped around all this
Revelation 13 3 says I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death his
deadly wound was healed and all the world wondered after the beast and they
worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast and they worshiped the
beast saying who is like unto the beast who is able to make war with him and
there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months how long is that
three and a half years okay and he opened his mouth and blasphemy against
God to blaspheme his name and his temp and his tabernacle and to them that
dwell in heaven and it was given unto him to make war with the Saints and
overcome them and powers given him over all kindreds tongues and nations so the
beast continues for 42 months all right when Christ comes back to destroy the
beast that is at the end of the seven years okay the coming on the white horse
that is a different coming than the coming in the clouds to rapture the
Saints okay so turn to Daniel chapter 12 verse 8
Daniel 12 verse number 8 and I'll explain to you about the time that we
believe the rapture happens all right Daniel 12 verse number 8 so we know it's
after the tribulation we know the Sun and Moon are darkened we know the stars
fall from heaven we know you know all those signs a great earthquake that
happens Daniel 12 8 says and I heard now if you're confused right now so was
Daniel so so if you're confused you know just go back and maybe take notes if you
haven't taken notes you know you can study this stuff on your own if there's
something you're missing just go back over the notes there's a lot here so I
understand if you're confused about it but Daniel was confused too all right
look at verse number 8 says and I heard but I understood not then said I oh my
Lord what shall be the end of these things and he said go thy way Daniel for
the work the words are closed up and sealed to the time of the end many shall
be purified and made white and tried but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of
the wicked shall understand but the wise shall understand and from the time that
the daily sacrifice shall be taken away and the abomination that make a desolate
set up there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days blessed is he
that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days
okay what's it talking about here well the same blessed is he that waiteth and
he's basically giving the timing of the rapture here that says but go thy way
till the end be for thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days
so what's he saying well Daniel is dead right now isn't he so when does he come
into his lot well it says but go thy way till the end be for thou shalt rest and
stand in thy lot at the end of the days what days the 1335 days that he just got
done saying from the beginning of what the 70th week from the beginning of the
week that that that you know that agreement happens 1335 days from the
beginning of the 70th week so minus 1260 it's not so you you got a mind you got
a there's 1260 and 1290 days so there's 30 day months you have to account for so
there has to be a leap month in between here so that's why one part of the final
seven years is 1260 days and one part is 1290 days 30 days of months do the
math you do that later all right approximately so this basically means
that approximately you know 75 days past the Great Tribulation is when this is
gonna take place now then this is where they say well you're making a timing
date for the rapture yeah but the thing is we don't know when that when that
time clock starts so we don't know for sure that nobody knows the day or the
hour if you try to predict it I'm not even gonna try to predict it I'm just
saying that that's what the Bible teaches it says that Daniel's gonna rest
in his lot after the 1335 days and that is when you know he that's when the
rapture happens because that's what God says in Daniel chapter 12 I mean I don't
I don't know any other way to describe besides that so is that at the midpoint
or is it after the midpoint be two to two months two full months and ten days
after okay so and I just don't think that we're gonna know somehow God's not
gonna let us know when this when this time is gonna happen because he said no
man know what the day or the hour so I don't I'm not saying I know the day or
the hour I'm just saying that that's not the midpoint so we don't believe the
midpoint with the mid trip rapture we believe the post trip pre-rath rapture
so let's turn to a couple more verses here first Thessalonians I could that's
basically a whole sermon but anyway first Thessalonians chapter 1 well hey
maybe someone watching this even from the old IFB can say hey I know they've
been saying that they believe you know in a mid-trip rapture I know Andrew
Schluter has been saying that they believe in a mid-trip rapture he just
keeps repeating it like a little parrot so everybody will believe that well I
just proved that that's not what we believe we believe something different
look at 1st Thessalonians 1 10 it says and to wait for his son from heaven
whom he raised from the dead even Jesus which delivered us from the wrath to
come and they'll say well I'm gonna be gone when all that stuff happens well so
are we that's what the pre-trip people will say well I plan on being you could
stay behind for the tribulation but I'm leaving well no you're not first of all
and we don't believe that wrath and the tribulation are the same thing so they
just get their definitions are all mixed up and messed up we don't believe that
we go through the wrath so the wrath is God's bombardment upon a wicked world
and guess what we are gonna be gone but the tribulation is when our enemies are
persecuting us that's when they're beheading people that's when they're
martyring Christians the Bible says that the beast will have power to overcome
the Saints you know who are the Saints well apparently don't believe they don't
believe it's them somebody it's the tribulation saints yeah you're right and
if you're saved you're gonna go through the tribulation if you're here during
that time here they're gonna die a martyr's death or you're gonna be caught
up together with the Lord when he returns either way we're still going to
heaven amen James chapter 5 James chapter 5 see God is waiting people
always wonder you know they say well God you know he's never gonna come back
Jesus is never gonna come back but you know Jesus loves people Jesus wants
people to be saved Jesus wants us to get as many people saved as we can and this
is why he's waiting James chapter 5 verse 7 says be patient therefore
brethren among unto the coming of the Lord behold the husband men waiteth for
the precious fruit of the earth and you know what the prep the precious fruit of
the earth is that's the people that he wants to be saved and God's waiting he's
patiently waiting for those for that fruit the last one to be saved before
all this takes place and it says and he hath long patience for it until he
receive the early and latter rain be also patient establish your hearts for
the coming of the Lord draweth nigh see the day of the Lord the day that Christ
comes back is closer today than it was yesterday and the day before that the
day before that so I mean you can't these these verses are true it's draw it
draws nigh it's near every single day that we live on this earth it's near
than before so look at Mark chapter 13 verse number 10 Bible says the gospel
I'll give you a second there to turn so apparently this became a one a one a one
point this is an important one though mark chapter 13 verse number 10 the
Bible says the gospel must first be published among all nations and when he
shall and when they shall lead you and deliver you up take no thought
beforehand what you shall speak neither do you pre meditate but whatsoever shall
be given you in that hour that speak ye for it is not yet or as excuse me it's
not ye that speak but the Holy Ghost now the brothers shall be betrayed the
brother to the death and the father the son the children shall rise up against
their parents and shall cause them to be put to death and he shall be hated of
all men for my name's sake but he that endureth unto the end the same shall be
saved and again that's not talking about enduring the commandments keeping God's
commandments till the end or you're not going to be saved it's a bunch of
hogwash that's a that's a that's heresy that's Calvinism see and they'll accuse
us of being Calvinist in our belief about the reprobate doctrine but really
they're the ones that hold the Calvinistic doctrines and I don't have
time to get to that point in my sermon because I just basically preached the
whole sermon about the preacher poster breath pre-rath rapture but I do have
time to go to lie number six so lie number six is that we don't do follow-up
by number six is that we don't do follow-up so and I saw pastor Anderson
commented online he's like yeah they're right about that one but in reality we
do do follow-up all right and different churches do different things but turn to
mark chapter 6 and I'll show you what they like to use and throw at us when
and I and I had Leroy Goodman the heretic you know talk about say the same
thing to Jason saline the pastor up in wherever he's at what's Napa vine a good
night I always think mossy rock with it's Napa vine and so last week I kind
of explained to you that I went with I went with a pastor that's who I'm
talking about we went got someone saved probably used about 40 verses at least
because the guy had questions you know when they have questions sometimes you
have to give him more stuff and you know he ended up getting saved that pastor
called Leroy Goodman who's going to split hell wide open by the way he's a
false prophet and thank God he's out of st. Helens where he used to be the pastor
there but he just recently creeped his little ugly head up again to try to
throw some shots at me online but this is what these kind of pastors will say
okay it says the people saw them departing and knew him and ran afoot
thither out of all the cities and out went him and came under him together
unto him and Jesus when he came out saw much people and was moved with
compassion toward them because they were a sheep not having a shepherd and he
began to teach them many things so people say well you just go get people
saved in these marathons and you go out and get people saved and they don't all
come to church and you know you leave him out as sheep having no shepherd
who's gonna disciple those people for you you know cuz Jesus you know he had
compassion well you know he also died on the cross not too long after this and
went to heaven did he leave them as a sheep having no shepherd I mean he got
them saved so and did he teach many things he left us a Bible so we can
learn new things right so we can learn things about the Bible but so the
critics will say about us they'll say you don't even do follow-up you don't
care about those people that got saved and that's a bunch of that's a lie
because here's what I teach our church to do I teach you to what what do you
what about what do I tell you to do at the end give them a Bible okay invite
them to church again after you've already invited them okay and then you
tell explain to them about baptism and how God wants you to Jesus wants them to
follow him in baptism here's our church here's the address here's your Bible I'm
gonna write your name and I'm gonna write the day you got saved and I'm
gonna invite you to church but I'll tell you what I don't have time to go back to
all these doors of the people that we get saved you guys don't have time to do
it you know if they want to come to church they're gonna come to church but
to say we don't follow up at all that's a lie that's a lie that they're
spreading about us and you know what you don't even go soul winning you clowns
how are you gonna talk to us about following up you don't even follow at
all you have no follow we follow we do a follow-up that's it and if someone
wants to do more than that they're more than welcome to do that but I'll tell
you what I'm not gonna keep going and calling people and pestering them over
and over again to come to church when if they want to come to church they're
gonna come to church does that mean they're not saved did I leave them as a
sheep having no Shepherd no I said hey I'm the Shepherd of this flock why don't
you come to our church and we'll teach you the Bible that's the follow-up
you're gonna get and look at all these people we followed up with in this room
it's a full house today pretty much and you know everybody here it you know
we're all sheep I'm the under Shepherd and God is the head Shepherd right Jesus
Christ is the Shepherd of the sheep and he gave us a book and that's how you
know we do discipleship we don't take Paul chapels book and tell them they got
to continue hey you know this person just got saved here I'm gonna give you
the the continued book and you take them and you guys disciple each other that's
not how it works that's not how it works and Jesus what did he do he taught them
he moved he was moved with compassion and he taught them to be in teaching
many things hey but if you don't go to the Shepherd if you don't go where the
Shepherd is being taught that you're not gonna you're not gonna be followed up
with see cuz they ran they outran him to the next town it wouldn't it be nice if
we get someone saved and they outrun us to the church on the on the way back
from soul winning that's good that's good but these clowns don't even go
soul winning and when they say they're going soul winning they're going bus
calling and when they say they're going soul winning they're saying hey do you
believe in Jesus okay well good I'm glad you're saved you know here's a tract
then they run they're not most of these churches I'm telling you the ones that
even say that they're so winning when people get there they're not really so
when there was a church somebody was telling me oh but at the beach it was
yeah okay brother Ryan he said they said they go so winning twice a week did they
go so many twice a week no they didn't that doesn't work it doesn't work in
their town it's a beach town it's all just a bunch of you know places where
people go for the weekend no so winning works everywhere it might not be
fruitful everywhere but it does work everywhere because otherwise the
Gospels lost its power do you think the Gospels lost its power there's still
people here in 2019 amongst all the freaks and weirdos in this world and
the atheists and the fag Gnostics and all these other people they're trying
to destroy the kingdom of God but you know what there's still 7,000 men that
haven't bent the knee to bail and you know what they can just shut their mouth
because they don't follow at all if you're not fishing you're not following
that's the end of the story so tell me that we're not doing follow-up what do
you leave and follow at all so anyway I got to be done all right I promised
myself I won't go over an hour today so we'll pick up on the next sermon we got
two lies taken care of this morning and we'll pick up on line number eight next
time we get together on a Sunday morning so anyway let's pray Heavenly Father we
thank you Lord so much for a great church and for a great turnout to this
morning really bless the food that's following and Lord I pray that you would
bless the soul winning today Lord and those that are sick amongst us I pray
that you'd lift them up and help them to feel better and pray Lord for the men
tonight as they preach and pray that you just help them to stay on point help
them to stay within their time limit I pray that you bless our night together
tonight in Jesus name Amen
