WEBVTT 00:16.800 --> 00:22.400 Amen. If you find a King James Bible, turn to Revelation 21. 00:24.400 --> 00:25.600 Revelation 21. 00:28.700 --> 00:32.140 We'll read the whole chapter here. Revelation 21, the Bible reads... 00:34.800 --> 00:40.160 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away, 00:40.880 --> 00:47.520 and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out 00:47.520 --> 00:51.680 of heaven, prepared as a bride adjoined for her husband. 00:51.800 --> 00:57.160 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, 00:57.160 --> 01:03.000 and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them 01:03.000 --> 01:10.040 and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall 01:10.040 --> 01:16.520 be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, 01:16.520 --> 01:18.280 for the former things are passed away. 01:20.900 --> 01:24.580 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. 01:25.300 --> 01:29.140 And he said unto me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. 01:29.940 --> 01:35.380 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. 01:36.180 --> 01:40.100 I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 01:41.220 --> 01:46.820 He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 01:47.500 --> 01:53.820 But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers 01:53.820 --> 01:59.260 and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, 01:59.820 --> 02:05.820 which is the second death. And there came unto me one of the seven angels, which had the seven 02:05.820 --> 02:12.300 vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee 02:12.300 --> 02:13.820 the bride, the lamb's wife. 02:14.700 --> 02:19.980 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, 02:19.980 --> 02:27.420 the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. And her first light 02:27.420 --> 02:34.300 was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. And had a wall 02:34.300 --> 02:40.540 great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon. 02:41.400 --> 02:45.720 which are the names of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel. 02:45.720 --> 02:49.480 On the east three gates, on the north three gates, 02:49.480 --> 02:53.960 on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 02:53.960 --> 02:58.200 And the wall of the city had 12 foundations, and in them the names of the 02:58.200 --> 03:00.100 12 apostles of the Lamb. 03:00.600 --> 03:05.560 and he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, 03:05.560 --> 03:12.040 and the wall thereof, and the city lieth four square, and the length is as large as the breadth, 03:12.600 --> 03:16.360 and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. 03:17.640 --> 03:20.440 The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 03:21.600 --> 03:29.040 And he measured the wall thereof, nine hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 03:29.920 --> 03:36.240 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper, and the city was of pure gold, like under clear glass. 03:36.960 --> 03:41.360 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 03:42.160 --> 03:46.880 The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third 03:47.600 --> 03:56.480 Chalcedony, the fourth, an emerald. The fifth, Sardonyx, the sixth, Sardius, the seventh, 03:56.480 --> 04:04.240 Chrysolite, the eighth, Beryl. The ninth, a topaz, the tenth, a Chrysoprasis. The eleventh, 04:04.240 --> 04:11.760 adjacent, the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls. Every several gate was 04:11.760 --> 04:15.000 of was one was of one pearl. 04:15.100 --> 04:19.660 and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 04:21.100 --> 04:26.220 And I saw no temple therein, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 04:26.940 --> 04:31.660 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it, 04:31.660 --> 04:35.420 for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 04:36.220 --> 04:39.580 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it. 04:40.300 --> 04:43.740 and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. 04:44.540 --> 04:49.980 And the kings of it shall not be shut as all by day, for there shall be no night there. 04:51.500 --> 04:54.540 They shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 04:55.400 --> 05:01.160 and there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, 05:01.160 --> 05:05.480 or maketh a lie, but they which are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 05:05.480 --> 05:07.480 Brother Timmo, can you pray for the service please? 05:17.000 --> 05:24.120 Revelation 21, one last chapter after tonight and we'll be wrapping it up and moving on to another 05:25.160 --> 05:28.600 book or maybe we'll do a series of some sort or whatever but 05:29.240 --> 05:31.880 let's look down at verse number one the Bible says, 05:32.680 --> 05:37.160 and I saw a new heaven and new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away 05:37.960 --> 05:43.560 and there was no more sea. So things have definitely changed and the Lord 05:44.300 --> 05:52.740 has destroyed Satan and cast him into the lake of fire and cast all he's done. 05:52.740 --> 05:58.080 The final judgment has happened where all the dead have been judged according to their 05:58.080 --> 06:04.820 works and so there's no more people being saved after this. 06:04.820 --> 06:07.660 So everybody that's been saved is saved forever. 06:08.100 --> 06:11.100 And everybody that's lost is lost forever. 06:11.100 --> 06:14.100 There's no more people born into the earth after this. 06:14.100 --> 06:19.100 And so when those people that Satan, in his little season, 06:19.100 --> 06:24.100 who rose up with the devil from Gog and Magog in the four corners of the earth... 06:24.700 --> 06:31.440 Everybody that was just annihilated by God in that fire that last I mean it was another anticlimactic thing 06:31.440 --> 06:34.660 They're all you know raging and coming towards them and God just like okay 06:35.200 --> 06:37.200 You know just like lights them all up 06:37.640 --> 06:41.120 In the book of Ezekiel where it talks about those things happening 06:42.100 --> 06:46.540 again, the Bible gives us the commentary it gives us the interpretation of 06:47.100 --> 06:49.740 the Gog and Magog chapters in Ezekiel. 06:49.740 --> 06:53.900 And in Ezekiel, it tells us a lot of detail 06:53.900 --> 06:55.820 that it doesn't tell us in the book of Revelation, 06:55.820 --> 06:58.700 like how long it takes to bury all the bodies and all that. 06:58.700 --> 07:00.220 And so it doesn't immediately just 07:00.220 --> 07:01.420 translate right in there. 07:01.420 --> 07:03.980 So when you see that first verse that says, 07:03.980 --> 07:06.860 and I saw a new heaven and a new earth, it doesn't say, 07:06.860 --> 07:08.740 and then right after, it doesn't say, 07:08.740 --> 07:10.300 this happens immediately after that, 07:10.300 --> 07:13.140 because it does take time to bury all those bodies, 07:13.140 --> 07:14.980 because it's as the sands of the sea. 07:15.100 --> 07:19.940 Then after that, that's when this whole thing happens. 07:19.940 --> 07:22.680 I think, I'm pretty sure it takes about six months 07:22.680 --> 07:26.100 to bury all those bodies, which is pretty gruesome. 07:26.100 --> 07:29.380 And I think that's probably another reason why, 07:29.380 --> 07:31.980 you know, the tears aren't wiped away, 07:31.980 --> 07:34.860 the people, the remembrance of the dead. 07:35.400 --> 07:40.400 our minds don't get basically wiped away 07:40.500 --> 07:43.600 of all those memories until after all that stuff happens. 07:43.600 --> 07:48.420 So, and I think some people might like take offense 07:48.420 --> 07:50.940 to the fact that our minds get, 07:50.940 --> 07:53.480 we basically stop, we don't remember these things 07:53.480 --> 07:54.920 happen anymore after. 07:55.100 --> 08:00.740 this in eternity future we're not going to have bad memories. We're not going to have memories of the bad things that happen 08:01.220 --> 08:07.300 on this earth. And I think that's good because do you really want to think about your loved ones burning in hell for all eternity? 08:07.300 --> 08:10.220 I don't. I don't want to think about those things. 08:10.220 --> 08:15.180 I want to think about good things and so I think that those things are just a 08:15.540 --> 08:19.740 bygone memory and God takes those things away from us. So I mean because 08:20.400 --> 08:26.600 Heaven isn't I just think that heaven is gonna be something that is supposed to be good and supposed to be pleasant and supposed to be 08:27.400 --> 08:30.720 Just a whole new chapter in our lives a new beginning so 08:31.960 --> 08:37.600 Verse 21 says I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away 08:38.120 --> 08:40.240 And there was no more see so 08:41.900 --> 08:46.740 You know, at face value, this kind of seems like God is just recreating everything. 08:46.740 --> 08:48.980 But in reality, that's not what is happening. 08:48.980 --> 08:51.380 That's not what this is talking about. 08:51.380 --> 08:54.340 Because God made the earth to last forever. 08:54.340 --> 08:56.140 God made the moon to last forever. 08:56.140 --> 08:58.420 God made the sun to last forever. 08:58.420 --> 09:00.620 He made those things to last forever. 09:00.620 --> 09:03.180 But you're like, well, it says that he's making them new. 09:03.180 --> 09:04.260 Yeah, he is, but... 09:04.900 --> 09:07.460 It's not going to be completely from scratch. 09:07.460 --> 09:09.660 He's just going to destroy all the things. 09:09.660 --> 09:12.940 That's why everything is going to be destroyed by fire, 09:12.940 --> 09:15.860 and things are going to melt with a fervent heat. 09:15.860 --> 09:19.860 And it's kind of like when that great earthquake is going 09:19.860 --> 09:24.340 to decimate all the buildings, and all the islands are going 09:24.340 --> 09:26.060 to move to other places, and all the mountains 09:26.060 --> 09:27.200 are going to be destroyed. 09:27.300 --> 09:31.940 God is just kind of like, it's almost like he's, it's a demolition project or something that he, 09:31.940 --> 09:35.860 you know, and then eventually he's just gonna, all that stuff is just gonna be gone. He's gonna just, 09:35.860 --> 09:39.300 he's gonna, it's kind of like getting a new skin or something. It's like, 09:40.180 --> 09:44.180 and you know, cause when we get resurrected from the dead, we're not gonna be, 09:44.180 --> 09:48.100 we're gonna be resurrected into the same bodies, but they're just gonna be changed. 09:48.100 --> 09:49.540 They're gonna be different. So. 09:50.300 --> 09:54.940 We're not going to be like have a whole different body. It's going to be the same body 09:54.940 --> 09:58.980 It's just going to be a transformed and changed body that doesn't have blood 09:58.980 --> 10:04.100 It's going to be flesh and bone so because like what do we believe about Jesus resurrection? 10:04.100 --> 10:07.660 Do we believe that he was resurrected into the same body or a different body? 10:08.300 --> 10:12.940 It's the same body. It's the same body and that body lasts forever. It's eternal life 10:13.500 --> 10:21.040 into the same what did Jehovah's Witnesses believe that it was a spirit body that it wasn't really he didn't really go into a real his 10:21.040 --> 10:22.740 real body and 10:22.740 --> 10:27.660 Unless you believe that it was his real body. You can't be saved. That's what the Bible teaches 10:28.460 --> 10:29.620 so 10:29.620 --> 10:31.620 Then we also get 10:32.400 --> 10:34.000 resurrected into our old bodies. 10:34.000 --> 10:35.920 Well, what about the ones that got blown to smithereens? 10:35.920 --> 10:38.040 What about the ones that the fish ate in the sea? 10:38.040 --> 10:40.840 And what about the ones that are just thousands of years old 10:40.840 --> 10:42.400 and they became dust? 10:42.400 --> 10:45.020 Well, God is powerful enough that when he says, 10:45.020 --> 10:50.120 rise, or whatever he says, or the trumpet blast that happens, 10:50.120 --> 10:52.120 or whatever it is that he says, 10:52.120 --> 10:52.300 you 10:52.800 --> 10:56.000 Those bodies are from whatever particles they once were 10:56.000 --> 10:58.240 are gonna come right back together again 10:58.240 --> 11:00.680 and form our bodies once again 11:00.680 --> 11:03.840 and we're gonna be reformed. 11:04.980 --> 11:06.980 But those things are not destroyed 11:06.980 --> 11:09.820 from off the face of the earth to cease to exist. 11:09.820 --> 11:11.880 People who died who are in Christ, 11:12.820 --> 11:15.320 those things still exist. 11:16.000 --> 11:18.700 It's not like, you know, something gets blown up. 11:18.700 --> 11:21.300 It's those particles still exist somewhere. 11:21.300 --> 11:24.400 They're just not together anymore, you know? 11:24.400 --> 11:29.000 So, I mean, when you get a new car, 11:29.000 --> 11:32.000 do they build you a new car out of things 11:32.000 --> 11:34.400 that are created out of nothing? 11:34.400 --> 11:36.500 Or do they get the parts from something 11:36.500 --> 11:38.500 that's mined from somewhere 11:38.500 --> 11:41.500 and created from already existing material? 11:42.000 --> 11:44.640 It's created from already existing material. 11:44.640 --> 11:48.200 If somebody redos a car, say the car is from a junkyard 11:48.200 --> 11:51.560 and you basically got the frame, you reform it from, 11:51.560 --> 11:53.720 like if you're gonna rebuild a classic car, 11:53.720 --> 11:58.720 it's not just from scratch created out of somebody's, 11:59.640 --> 12:02.520 someone just says, appear and it appears or something. 12:02.520 --> 12:03.920 You're getting those parts from things 12:03.920 --> 12:05.240 that already pre-exist. 12:05.600 --> 12:09.600 And so the earth is made to last forever. 12:09.600 --> 12:12.600 And a lot of people will take this verse and say, 12:12.600 --> 12:16.600 well, see, there's contradictions in the Bible. 12:16.600 --> 12:19.600 Well, let's look at some verses about what the Bible teaches about this. 12:19.600 --> 12:22.600 Let's look at Psalm 104 verse 5, Psalm 104 verse 5. 12:22.600 --> 12:27.600 Because the Bible very clearly does teach that the earth lasts forever 12:27.600 --> 12:29.600 and that the heavenly bodies last forever. 12:29.600 --> 12:31.600 How about Psalm 104 verse 5? 12:31.600 --> 12:32.400 says 12:32.400 --> 12:37.400 Who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be removed forever. 12:37.400 --> 12:41.400 So if the foundations are not going to be removed forever, that means it's still going to exist. 12:41.400 --> 12:46.400 So when God says that he's going to make a new heaven and a new earth, that doesn't mean it's just all completely from scratch. 12:46.400 --> 12:55.400 He's just going to change things and maybe not even to the former state of what they were, but what he wants them to be in the future. 12:55.400 --> 13:00.400 Psalm 148 verse 3, Psalm 148 verse 3. 13:00.700 --> 13:08.500 It says, Praise ye Him, sun and moon, praise Him all ye stars of light, praise Him ye heavens 13:08.500 --> 13:12.300 of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 13:12.300 --> 13:17.240 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created. 13:17.240 --> 13:23.240 He hath also established them for ever and ever, and hath made a decree which shall not 13:23.240 --> 13:23.900 pass. 13:24.400 --> 13:31.300 So it sounds like forever and ever. That's a long time, isn't it? That means exactly what it sounds like, forever and ever. 13:31.300 --> 13:37.100 Ecclesiastes 1.4, go ahead and turn to Psalm 78 verse 69. I'm going to read Ecclesiastes 1.4. 13:37.100 --> 13:38.100 Ecclesiastes 1.4 says, 13:38.100 --> 13:44.300 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh. But the earth abideth forever. 13:44.300 --> 13:50.300 So what is that teaching? Well, generations are going to come and go, but the earth is going to last forever, isn't it? 13:50.600 --> 13:53.100 Psalm 78 verse 69 where Edgerton says, 13:53.100 --> 13:56.680 and he built his sanctuary like high palaces, 13:56.680 --> 14:00.640 like the earth which he hath established forever. 14:00.640 --> 14:02.740 So I mean, there's just, I mean, 14:02.740 --> 14:04.680 I'm sure I could find many more verses 14:04.680 --> 14:06.840 to teach this same doctrine. 14:06.840 --> 14:08.840 So, but it's not contradictory, 14:08.840 --> 14:11.240 it's just you have to understand what it means by 14:11.240 --> 14:12.120 that it's gonna, you know, 14:12.120 --> 14:14.160 that he's gonna make a new heaven and a new earth. 14:14.160 --> 14:15.040 It's just like. 14:15.600 --> 14:16.940 We're going to have the same bodies, 14:16.940 --> 14:19.460 but he's going to make our bodies different and new 14:19.460 --> 14:22.980 in the sense that they can't die, they can't be hurt, 14:22.980 --> 14:26.180 we can't be killed for any reason, 14:26.180 --> 14:28.380 and they're going to be different in the way that they 14:28.380 --> 14:31.660 look, the way that they function, and so on and so forth. 14:31.660 --> 14:34.680 So now I'll turn to Romans chapter 8, verse 19. 14:34.680 --> 14:36.660 Romans chapter 8, verse 19. 14:36.660 --> 14:39.720 Because the Bible even teaches us about creation, 14:39.720 --> 14:40.580 even the animals. 14:42.100 --> 14:44.640 Because we the animals 14:45.400 --> 14:49.420 You know in the animal kingdom they understand that something's wrong with this world 14:49.420 --> 14:54.620 And I'm sure they don't like the cycle of death that they have to endure and go through all the time 14:56.700 --> 14:58.260 Every animal on earth 14:58.260 --> 15:00.980 Yeah, well you have the predators and you have the prey 15:01.760 --> 15:05.980 There's a lot of animals that just are nervous about everything and worried that they're gonna get killed anytime 15:06.020 --> 15:09.100 They're just walking. They can't just walk down the street like people 15:09.800 --> 15:13.260 When they're walking through their environment, they're looking for something that's trying 15:13.260 --> 15:16.220 to kill them at every moment. 15:16.220 --> 15:19.180 Even if they're drinking a drink of water, a crocodile is just going to come and snatch 15:19.180 --> 15:21.980 them out and kill them or whatever. 15:21.980 --> 15:27.100 Look what it says in Romans chapter 8 verse 19, it says, For the earnest expectation of 15:27.100 --> 15:31.140 the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 15:31.800 --> 15:36.760 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has 15:36.760 --> 15:42.360 subjected the same in hope. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage 15:42.360 --> 15:48.520 of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." So they're waiting for the 15:48.520 --> 15:54.120 manifestation of the sons of God. Who's that? Well, that's us. And that has that manifestation 15:54.120 --> 15:55.240 has not happened yet. 15:55.700 --> 15:59.740 So, one day we are going to be manifested like we were supposed to be when we're going 15:59.740 --> 16:03.540 to get the bodies that God promised us, when we're going to get the everlasting life, those 16:03.540 --> 16:10.500 bodies that were promised to us because, you know, the creation groans and is waiting for 16:10.500 --> 16:13.580 that manifestation to take place. 16:13.580 --> 16:17.200 Second Peter chapter 3, second Peter chapter 3, I'm going to try to rifle through these 16:17.200 --> 16:19.700 pretty quickly. 16:19.700 --> 16:21.220 Peter chapter 3 verse 5. 16:22.200 --> 16:28.200 The Bible says, For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens 16:28.200 --> 16:33.400 were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water, whereby the world that 16:33.400 --> 16:39.880 then was being overflowed with water perished. I mean the world was completely destroyed by a flood 16:40.440 --> 16:46.600 you know 4400 years ago or whatever, but the heavens and the earth which are now by the same 16:46.600 --> 16:49.500 The same word our Captain's store reserved him to fire. 16:49.700 --> 16:53.400 against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 16:53.400 --> 16:56.640 So that next time it's destroyed is going to be by what? 16:56.640 --> 16:58.960 By fire, by the judgment of God. 16:58.960 --> 17:02.880 It's kept in store waiting to get destroyed that way. 17:02.880 --> 17:07.640 It's not going to be global cooling. 17:07.640 --> 17:09.240 It's going to be global warming. 17:09.240 --> 17:12.120 But it's not the type of warming that they're talking about. 17:12.120 --> 17:15.960 This is going to be fireballs and fervent heat. 17:16.500 --> 17:22.920 Look at verse 10. It says but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in the which the heaven shall 17:22.920 --> 17:26.640 Pass away with a great noise see the big their big bangs different than our big bang 17:26.640 --> 17:31.280 Isn't it God's big bang is different and the element shall melt with fervent heat 17:31.760 --> 17:36.140 The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up 17:37.300 --> 17:39.940 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved 17:40.540 --> 17:44.620 What manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness? 17:45.280 --> 17:53.460 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God where wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved 17:53.460 --> 17:56.920 So the the heavens themselves also is that what it's saying 17:57.500 --> 18:02.120 Okay, so and it says and the element shall melt with fervent heat 18:03.600 --> 18:07.600 That's the building blocks of creation, right? 18:07.600 --> 18:13.600 Nevertheless, we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein 18:13.600 --> 18:14.600 dwelleth righteousness. 18:14.600 --> 18:19.940 So once all that stuff is burnt up, God's going to make everything all new again. 18:19.940 --> 18:27.520 But He has to get rid of all the other wickedness and I mean because Satan, where did he originally 18:27.520 --> 18:28.300 cinnam. 18:28.700 --> 18:30.740 His original sin took place in heaven. 18:30.740 --> 18:32.260 He fell from heaven. 18:32.260 --> 18:33.580 The angels fell from heaven. 18:33.580 --> 18:37.180 So they corrupted heaven in a sense also. 18:37.180 --> 18:41.180 So I think that sometimes people forget that because people 18:41.180 --> 18:42.220 make that argument a lot. 18:42.220 --> 18:43.980 Well, no sin can be in heaven. 18:43.980 --> 18:46.460 Well, the devil goes to heaven all the time 18:46.460 --> 18:47.580 and appears before God. 18:47.580 --> 18:50.060 What do you mean there's no sin allowed in heaven? 18:50.060 --> 18:52.180 He allows them to be in front of him. 18:52.180 --> 18:53.260 But there will come a day. 18:53.700 --> 18:57.620 And it talks about in this chapter and in the next chapter where that will not be the 18:57.620 --> 18:59.140 case anymore. 18:59.140 --> 19:03.220 And so when that day comes, there will be a time when there's no sin allowed in heaven 19:03.220 --> 19:04.720 whatsoever. 19:04.720 --> 19:10.980 So I mean, I believe that Jesus' blood cleansed, you know, cleanses us, but it also cleans 19:10.980 --> 19:11.980 the things in heaven. 19:11.980 --> 19:13.580 It cleansed the things of the tabernacle up there. 19:13.580 --> 19:15.700 It cleansed the things of the temple up there also. 19:15.700 --> 19:16.820 That's what the Bible says. 19:17.100 --> 19:21.760 So, I mean, I don't know why people get so hung up and weird about that, but they do 19:21.760 --> 19:22.760 sometimes. 19:22.760 --> 19:24.000 Turn to Colossians chapter 1. 19:24.000 --> 19:27.680 Colossians chapter 1. 19:27.680 --> 19:32.840 Because sometimes I think we just get the sense that we're the only thing that got redeemed 19:32.840 --> 19:36.620 out of this thing, but the animal kingdom, I mean, clearly the animal kingdom is going 19:36.620 --> 19:38.440 to be changed. 19:38.440 --> 19:40.720 I mean, it talks about that in Isaiah chapter 65. 19:42.400 --> 19:44.900 The animal kingdom is going to be changed. 19:44.900 --> 19:45.960 And think about this. 19:45.960 --> 19:50.440 So if nothing dies after an eternity future, 19:50.440 --> 19:52.400 that also would include, because I mean, 19:52.400 --> 19:55.740 people argue about plants or plants alive. 19:55.740 --> 19:59.400 Well, they are in the sense that they can die. 19:59.400 --> 20:00.660 I'm not saying they have a soul. 20:00.660 --> 20:03.760 I'm not going all Japanese on here or anything. 20:03.760 --> 20:06.120 And I mean by their religion. 20:06.120 --> 20:06.620 But. 20:07.000 --> 20:12.840 They can die because plants can die as far as like not be able to grow anymore. 20:12.840 --> 20:15.400 They wither and die or whatever. 20:15.400 --> 20:20.200 But during that time, no plants will be able to die. 20:20.200 --> 20:24.440 Nothing, you try to keep, you won't have to keep these houseplants alive. 20:24.440 --> 20:25.240 They'll just. 20:25.600 --> 20:26.600 They just won't die. 20:26.600 --> 20:30.280 You know, so that would be kind of nice, right? 20:30.280 --> 20:31.280 Fish won't die. 20:31.280 --> 20:34.640 You won't have to have a, it's not going to be hard to keep your goldfish alive or 20:34.640 --> 20:35.640 whatever. 20:35.640 --> 20:41.240 But Colossians 1.19 says, For it pleased the Father that in him, talking about Jesus, all 20:41.240 --> 20:47.060 fullness dwell, and having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile 20:47.060 --> 20:53.300 all things unto himself, by him I say, whether they be things in earth, or in the earth, 20:53.400 --> 21:00.400 or things in heaven. See that? So it's not just the things in earth, it's not just us, 21:00.960 --> 21:07.960 it's also the things in heaven. So in order to do that, he must change those things. He 21:08.040 --> 21:14.320 must burn up these things and destroy these things that are finite and replace them with 21:14.320 --> 21:18.040 something that's infinite. Something that can never be destroyed. Something that can 21:18.040 --> 21:20.360 never die and so therefore... 21:21.100 --> 21:25.500 once the final judgment happens and once all those things are gone away with, 21:25.500 --> 21:27.340 then all those things are going to be burnt up, 21:27.340 --> 21:31.100 all the things are going to just be completely different. 21:31.100 --> 21:35.380 Obviously, we can't fathom those things in our mind necessarily right now, 21:35.380 --> 21:36.860 but that is what the Bible is teaching. 21:36.860 --> 21:39.540 I mean, I don't see how to see it any other way. 21:39.540 --> 21:43.340 But so the earth, the sun, 21:43.340 --> 21:44.900 the moon remain forever. 21:45.000 --> 21:49.000 but they will basically essentially get these extreme makeovers. 21:49.000 --> 21:52.000 You know, so they'll be extreme makeovers, 21:52.000 --> 21:57.000 and just like when we get new bodies, they'll be something extreme. 21:57.000 --> 22:00.000 Something extreme that we've never experienced before. 22:00.000 --> 22:02.000 We won't be able to experience pain. 22:02.300 --> 22:05.900 like on the level that we can experience it now. 22:05.900 --> 22:07.580 I mean, I always talk about stubbed toes 22:07.580 --> 22:10.700 and having dandruff and BO and all that kind of stuff. 22:10.700 --> 22:13.420 But seriously, what do you, 22:13.420 --> 22:17.000 corrupt breath means you have bad breath, right? 22:17.500 --> 22:19.200 And there'll be no more dragon breath. 22:19.200 --> 22:20.900 You won't have to worry about putting some scope in your mouth 22:20.900 --> 22:22.840 before you come to church or, you know, 22:22.840 --> 22:26.240 making sure to get the gingivitis out or, you know, 22:26.240 --> 22:27.340 there won't be gingivitis. 22:27.340 --> 22:31.340 There won't be periodontal disease and all that kind of stuff 22:31.340 --> 22:31.940 to worry about. 22:31.940 --> 22:34.540 I mean, nothing will be able to be corrupted. 22:34.540 --> 22:37.340 So, I mean, that's just, that's like something that we have 22:37.340 --> 22:38.880 never experienced before. 22:38.880 --> 22:41.240 It'll just be, you know, different. 22:41.240 --> 22:43.340 Turn to John chapter 14, John chapter 14. 22:44.500 --> 22:49.500 And look, this place is going to be something that is prepared for us. 22:49.500 --> 22:53.460 And look, it doesn't say how long it takes to be prepared for us. 22:53.460 --> 23:00.000 So I don't know how this is happening, at what speed it's happening. 23:00.000 --> 23:03.380 But I know who claims to be saying it's happening. 23:03.380 --> 23:04.380 It's Jesus Christ. 23:04.380 --> 23:05.940 Look at verse 1. 23:05.940 --> 23:09.060 It says, Let not your heart be troubled. 23:09.060 --> 23:10.640 You believe in God. 23:10.640 --> 23:11.640 Believe also in me. 23:11.640 --> 23:11.900 Thank you. 23:12.200 --> 23:17.200 In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. 23:17.200 --> 23:20.200 I go to prepare a place for you. 23:20.200 --> 23:23.200 See that? He's saying he personally is doing it, right? 23:23.200 --> 23:33.200 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also. 23:33.200 --> 23:37.200 And whether I go, you know. And the way, you know. 23:38.000 --> 23:41.300 And then Thomas is like, but how are we supposed to know? 23:41.300 --> 23:45.560 Anyway, he kind of ruins this passage for me. 23:45.560 --> 23:47.580 Just shut up, Thomas. 23:47.580 --> 23:50.800 Sorry, but just be quiet, man. 23:50.800 --> 23:54.120 But Jesus, he says, I go to prepare a place for you. 23:54.120 --> 23:55.460 He says it again in verse 3. 23:55.460 --> 23:58.400 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again. 23:58.400 --> 24:00.680 So he's promising to come again. 24:00.680 --> 24:03.000 This is basically like the rapture passages 24:03.000 --> 24:05.480 for the book of John, because there is no rapture passages 24:05.480 --> 24:06.000 in the book of John. 24:06.000 --> 24:11.900 except for here and we don't really get that because he is giving the book of Revelation 24:11.900 --> 24:14.720 and he gives us a lot of Bible prophecy. 24:14.720 --> 24:18.880 So the most Bible prophecy really. 24:18.880 --> 24:25.880 Revelation 21 verse 2 back in our text says, and I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, 24:25.880 --> 24:31.580 coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 24:31.580 --> 24:33.580 So Jesus has compared... 24:34.100 --> 24:41.380 In Ephesians chapter 5, we're compared to, there's a comparison between Christ and the 24:41.380 --> 24:44.140 church as the bride. 24:44.140 --> 24:48.780 And then you have where he says, I go to prepare a place for you in John chapter 14. 24:48.780 --> 24:55.000 Here in Revelation chapter 21, it says that he saw New Jerusalem coming down from God 24:55.000 --> 24:58.900 out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 24:59.400 --> 25:03.240 Now, a lot of people will take these verses and they'll be like, oh, so New Jerusalem 25:03.240 --> 25:04.720 is the bride of Christ. 25:04.720 --> 25:07.600 Well, I don't believe that. 25:07.600 --> 25:13.240 I've seen people and I kind of was following that track, that train of thought, because 25:13.240 --> 25:22.480 they use these verses to try to say that Israel is the... 25:22.480 --> 25:24.480 The 25:25.800 --> 25:27.360 that they're the great whore or whatever. 25:27.360 --> 25:30.040 And it's like, well, that still doesn't make sense to me. 25:30.040 --> 25:35.040 But look, it is kind of the bride of Christ 25:35.040 --> 25:38.560 in the sense that the people in it with God in it, 25:38.560 --> 25:42.240 that is like, you know, it's prepared 25:42.240 --> 25:44.600 as a bride for her husband because God 25:44.600 --> 25:46.400 is going to dwell with man. 25:46.400 --> 25:48.560 When it's all said and done, when everything's all said 25:48.560 --> 25:50.920 and done, God is going to live with mankind. 25:52.300 --> 25:55.900 And there will be no more temple because the temples, there's not going to be a need for 25:55.900 --> 26:00.060 a temple because God and you know, God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ will be there with us. 26:00.780 --> 26:08.140 And so there is no need for that. But, but this city, the New Jerusalem is, it's, and look, 26:08.140 --> 26:13.420 it just says prepared as a bride. It doesn't say it is the bride. You see, so people can just take 26:13.420 --> 26:17.340 things like that and twist it and make it say things that it doesn't say, but it is. 26:18.100 --> 26:20.700 coming out of heaven and it's prepared, just like Jesus said, 26:20.700 --> 26:22.300 I go to prepare a place for you. 26:22.300 --> 26:25.200 Well, then you have this passage here where it says, 26:25.200 --> 26:27.400 it was prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 26:27.400 --> 26:28.900 It's the same rider here. 26:29.200 --> 26:32.080 So, I just thought that was interesting to point out. 26:32.080 --> 26:34.200 But now I'll turn to Isaiah chapter 65. 26:34.200 --> 26:35.200 Isaiah chapter 65. 26:35.200 --> 26:38.760 So, New Jerusalem's talked about, and I'm not going to go to all the passages that kind 26:38.760 --> 26:42.720 of allude to it in the Old Testament, but Ezekiel alludes to it. 26:42.720 --> 26:45.560 Isaiah alludes to it multiple times. 26:45.560 --> 26:53.320 But here's one that's very, very obviously alluding to it even to the, and alludes to 26:53.320 --> 26:55.760 it even to this passage that we're in tonight. 26:55.760 --> 26:57.200 Isaiah chapter 65 verse 17. 26:57.200 --> 27:03.200 says, For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former shall not be remembered 27:03.200 --> 27:05.520 nor come into mind. 27:05.520 --> 27:09.240 So part of that is that we won't remember those things at some point, just like I was 27:09.240 --> 27:10.700 saying earlier. 27:10.700 --> 27:12.400 We're not going to remember that stuff. 27:12.400 --> 27:16.200 It shall not be remembered nor come to mind. 27:16.200 --> 27:20.640 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create. 27:20.640 --> 27:24.600 behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing and her people a joy." 27:25.000 --> 27:30.840 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people, and the voice of weeping shall 27:30.840 --> 27:34.520 be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying." 27:34.520 --> 27:39.600 This is not Jerusalem on the earth, this is talking about Jerusalem, the New Jerusalem, 27:39.600 --> 27:46.240 because obviously it's alluding specifically to the passage that we're in tonight. 27:46.240 --> 27:49.680 I mean, very obviously so. 27:49.680 --> 27:51.240 Turn to Hebrews chapter 11. 27:51.240 --> 27:52.240 Hebrews chapter 11. 27:52.700 --> 27:58.940 And when Abraham was so journeying in the wilderness, he was called from his hometown, 27:58.940 --> 28:05.900 Ur of the Chaldees. He went to Heron until his father died. After his father died, he went from place to place. 28:06.600 --> 28:11.800 And the Bible tells us in Hebrews that there's a reason why he was going place to place. 28:11.800 --> 28:14.760 And it says it to us right here in Hebrews 11. 28:14.760 --> 28:19.960 It says, By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after 28:19.960 --> 28:25.640 receive for an inheritance obeyed, and he went out, not knowing whether he went. 28:25.640 --> 28:30.000 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country. 28:30.500 --> 28:38.300 dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob the heirs with him of the same promise for he looked for a city which hath 28:38.700 --> 28:41.620 foundations whose builder and maker is God 28:42.300 --> 28:48.100 So he didn't know what he was looking for or where he was looking for it exactly, but he knew what he was looking for 28:48.500 --> 28:53.540 He was looking for a city that God had built he was looking for a city that God had made and 28:53.980 --> 28:55.980 Not a building made with hands 28:56.580 --> 28:57.800 so 28:58.000 --> 29:00.960 Hebrews makes that very clear. Now look at Hebrews 12 while you're there. 29:00.960 --> 29:04.400 Just flip over another page or whatever to or to the next chapter there. 29:07.300 --> 29:22.540 It says verse 22, but you come out or excuse me, but you come unto Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem and to an innumerable company of angels. 29:22.540 --> 29:23.940 So are angels going to live there? 29:24.460 --> 29:25.220 Yes, they are. 29:26.100 --> 29:29.700 And it says in an innumerable company of angels. 29:29.700 --> 29:30.940 So there's a lot of them. 29:31.700 --> 29:37.940 And it says, to the General Assembly and the Church of the Firstborn, which are written in heaven, 29:37.940 --> 29:44.100 and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. So it sounds like save 29:44.100 --> 29:51.780 people, right? And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood sprinkling that speaketh 29:51.780 --> 29:57.780 better things than that of Abel. So there will be one day this General Assembly, and it's going to be 29:58.700 --> 30:00.860 in the heavenly Jerusalem. 30:01.860 --> 30:04.620 So when we talk about going to heaven, 30:04.620 --> 30:06.140 I mean the Jehovah's Witnesses, they always say, 30:06.140 --> 30:08.140 well I'm not going to heaven, 30:08.140 --> 30:11.140 I'm going to live on paradise earth. 30:12.780 --> 30:15.940 They're kind of right in a way, 30:15.940 --> 30:17.940 because heaven and earth are going, 30:17.940 --> 30:21.720 you know, new Jerusalem is going to come down out of heaven 30:21.720 --> 30:23.500 and it will be on earth. 30:23.500 --> 30:25.900 It'll be on the new earth and the new heaven. 30:26.000 --> 30:30.400 will be this new Jerusalem that comes down to earth. 30:30.400 --> 30:34.000 But, I mean, they're still not right about salvation. 30:34.000 --> 30:35.300 They're not exactly probably right. 30:35.300 --> 30:36.600 They probably believe a lot of weird things 30:36.600 --> 30:38.300 about the new heaven and new earth, 30:38.300 --> 30:40.000 or whatever the new earth. 30:40.000 --> 30:42.400 But they're kind of right in a way. 30:42.400 --> 30:45.800 But they're also wrong in the way that nobody goes to heaven, 30:45.800 --> 30:48.200 because we all do go to heaven when we die. 30:48.200 --> 30:50.000 If we die right now and you're saved, 30:50.000 --> 30:51.000 you go straight to heaven. 30:51.700 --> 30:57.180 So, but when the new heaven and new earth are made and then that heavenly city comes 30:57.180 --> 31:03.120 down and then the tabernacle of God is with men, then yes, it will kind of technically 31:03.120 --> 31:07.820 be heaven and earth being one basically. 31:07.820 --> 31:10.580 So, and God being with his people. 31:10.580 --> 31:17.140 So I mean that's my understanding of it, but it also says that that will be, that's when 31:17.140 --> 31:18.780 the whole church will be one church. 31:19.300 --> 31:26.300 So there is no universal church, but when everybody's the first to the general assembly of the church of the firstborn, 31:26.300 --> 31:35.300 which are written in heaven, and God, and you know, when we're all in one big kumbaya, we're all in one place, 31:35.300 --> 31:42.300 that's when it'll actually be the church, you know, one church, the church of the firstborn. 31:43.200 --> 31:47.700 And so look at Galatians chapter 4. 31:51.500 --> 31:58.300 Because I mean the things that were made on earth the things that God had Moses make the places that God chose to put his 31:58.300 --> 32:01.820 name at those things are pictures of what was already in heaven 32:03.420 --> 32:08.740 Including Jerusalem because there's the heavenly Jerusalem. That's ultimately the end 32:09.620 --> 32:11.700 Spot where everybody's going to be that saved 32:13.180 --> 32:15.100 but 32:15.100 --> 32:18.780 there's also going to be you know, and that's a that's a gigantic city and I'll go through the 32:19.600 --> 32:22.520 the dimensions of that here pretty soon, but 32:23.720 --> 32:29.640 There also is going to it's going to and that and that's almost the size of the United States. It's like a gigantic 32:30.800 --> 32:34.060 City, it's not just some small place, but anyway 32:34.440 --> 32:39.320 So it says in Galatians 422 says for it is written that Abraham had two sons 32:39.520 --> 32:42.060 The one by a bondmaid and the other by a free woman 32:42.700 --> 32:46.380 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh. 32:46.380 --> 32:51.660 But he of the free woman was by promise. Which things are an allegory, 32:51.660 --> 32:57.900 for these are the two covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 32:58.540 --> 33:06.060 For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, which answereth to Jerusalem, which now is, 33:06.060 --> 33:10.220 and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free. 33:10.900 --> 33:12.660 which is the mother of us all. 33:12.660 --> 33:19.820 So that Jerusalem which is above is talking about obviously the heavenly Jerusalem. 33:19.820 --> 33:24.740 And it's funny because the Jews and the people that worship the Jews, 33:24.740 --> 33:27.260 like some of the independent fundamental Baptists of our day, 33:27.260 --> 33:28.900 a lot of them, almost all of them, 33:28.900 --> 33:32.780 and a lot of the Protestant Christians of our day. 33:32.780 --> 33:33.100 you 33:33.500 --> 33:36.060 they think that that place is some sacred holy place, 33:36.060 --> 33:40.620 but in reality, that's the, that picture is the picture of bondage 33:40.620 --> 33:43.660 and the picture of the law that can't save you. 33:43.660 --> 33:50.020 And in reality, we're supposed to identify with the other child, 33:50.020 --> 33:54.700 with the child of promise and not with Mount Sinai. 33:54.700 --> 33:57.460 That's Mount Sinai gender to bondage. 33:57.460 --> 34:01.500 And we're supposed to, Agar is... 34:01.700 --> 34:04.820 Mount Sinai in Arabia and answer to Jerusalem which is now 34:04.820 --> 34:08.660 and is in bondage with her children. So that is not the one 34:08.660 --> 34:11.660 we should identify with. We should identify with the free one 34:11.660 --> 34:16.580 and that is Jerusalem, which is above. Anyway, back to Revelation 21 verse 3. 34:16.580 --> 34:20.500 It says, and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 34:20.500 --> 34:25.100 Behold the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them 34:25.100 --> 34:28.780 and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them 34:28.780 --> 34:29.620 and be there. 34:29.700 --> 34:33.700 God. I mean, I think that's pretty straightforward, right? I mean, that's exactly what I was telling 34:33.700 --> 34:38.900 you. That's exactly what the Bible says. And then this, this part's really cool. It says, 34:38.900 --> 34:46.780 and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither 34:46.780 --> 34:55.180 sorrow nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed 34:55.180 --> 34:55.500 away. 34:56.300 --> 35:02.540 So, all those things that it said in Isaiah chapter 65, those are basically repeated here 35:02.540 --> 35:05.180 in Revelation chapter 21. 35:05.180 --> 35:09.540 But that sounds pretty personal, doesn't it? 35:09.540 --> 35:12.520 God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 35:12.520 --> 35:14.060 He's not saying He's going to have an angel do it. 35:14.060 --> 35:16.700 He's going to have a saint do it for you. 35:16.700 --> 35:18.940 That sounds pretty personal. 35:18.940 --> 35:22.100 And everybody cries tears from time to time. 35:22.300 --> 35:27.300 But it seems like there's a lot of people having some tears in their eyes. 35:27.300 --> 35:33.300 And because there's some horrible things that are going to happen and some people that we probably thought were going to heaven that aren't. 35:33.300 --> 35:36.300 And or that we thought were going to heaven that aren't. 35:36.300 --> 35:40.300 And just, you know, it's going to be some sad things that happened in this world. 35:40.300 --> 35:44.300 And, you know, it'll be a time for there's a time for weeping. 35:44.300 --> 35:46.300 There's a time to put away weeping. 35:46.800 --> 35:53.040 But the Bible says God shall wipe all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death. 35:54.080 --> 35:57.440 So there'll be no more reason to weep over that because there won't be any more death. 35:58.160 --> 36:04.960 Neither sorrow. There's no reason to sorrow and be sad about things nor crying 36:05.920 --> 36:10.800 nor any more pain. So all that pain that you feel in your bodies, if you, 36:10.800 --> 36:14.160 brother Jesse, that pain is going to be gone, bro. It's history. 36:15.100 --> 36:18.040 And me and my wife have been working really hard 36:18.040 --> 36:19.420 around the house and we're both kind of 36:19.420 --> 36:22.080 in a little bit of pain today. 36:23.080 --> 36:25.900 The older you get, the more pain you have. 36:26.100 --> 36:28.760 And the more injuries you take along the way, 36:28.760 --> 36:30.500 the more arthritis you begin to get 36:30.500 --> 36:31.420 and all that kind of stuff. 36:31.420 --> 36:35.140 So take care of your bodies, kids, the best you can. 36:35.140 --> 36:38.380 Don't do too many daring things that get you hurt. 36:38.380 --> 36:43.380 So those injuries become nagging injuries when you're older 36:43.560 --> 36:45.980 and when the weather starts to change, 36:45.980 --> 36:47.820 the rain starts to hit, then you start feeling it 36:47.820 --> 36:48.820 and you're like, oh, what's that? 36:48.820 --> 36:52.460 That's your arthritis kicking in, that's what that is. 36:52.460 --> 36:53.100 But. 36:53.100 --> 36:57.260 It says, neither shall there be any more pain 36:57.260 --> 36:59.140 for the former things are passed away. 36:59.140 --> 37:02.060 So no more tears, no more sorrow, no more crying, 37:02.060 --> 37:05.300 no more death, and no more pain, amen. 37:05.300 --> 37:07.940 There's a lot of people that live with pain on a daily basis 37:07.940 --> 37:09.580 and it's really hard for them. 37:09.580 --> 37:11.380 There's a lot of people that live with a lot of sorrow 37:11.380 --> 37:15.380 every day because they're upset because people have died 37:15.380 --> 37:16.980 that are very close to them. 37:16.980 --> 37:20.560 Or people that they love are estranged for them. 37:20.800 --> 37:26.200 And there's just a lot, you know, this world is a fallen world and there's a lot of rough 37:26.200 --> 37:31.200 things that happen in it and God is going to take all that stuff away eventually. 37:31.200 --> 37:36.560 And it says, And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. 37:36.560 --> 37:37.960 And he said unto me, Write. 37:38.300 --> 37:44.380 for these words are true and faithful." So he's basically stamping approval upon what John has 37:44.380 --> 37:48.780 written for us right there because if you'll notice he was writing those things down. Those 37:48.780 --> 37:52.460 are not the words of Christ but he's just saying that these are the things that are going to happen 37:53.020 --> 37:56.800 and then Jesus is the words in red there and it says 37:56.900 --> 37:58.780 Behold, I make all things new. 37:58.780 --> 38:00.620 He's going to change all those things. 38:00.620 --> 38:04.080 And he says, write for these words are true and faithful. 38:04.080 --> 38:08.260 So when Jesus Christ says he's going to do something, he always does it. 38:08.260 --> 38:11.500 He always does it exactly how he says he's going to do it. 38:11.500 --> 38:13.380 And he's not going to just break his promise. 38:13.380 --> 38:15.140 He's not going to say, oh, well, you did this. 38:15.140 --> 38:18.940 No, he's going to do exactly what he says he's going to do. 38:18.940 --> 38:22.300 He says in verse six, 38:23.600 --> 38:29.360 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. 38:30.160 --> 38:35.040 I will give unto them that is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." 38:36.320 --> 38:43.600 And again, this is a great verse here too, because obviously this is giving heed to show the fact 38:43.600 --> 38:49.280 that Jesus Christ is God, because he's saying he's the Alpha and Omega. He's the beginning and the 38:49.280 --> 38:50.000 And. 38:50.200 --> 38:53.560 So, when you look at the beginning of the Bible, who is it talking about? 38:53.560 --> 38:56.680 Well, it's talking about in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, so obviously 38:56.680 --> 39:00.200 He's God and He's also the end of all things. 39:00.200 --> 39:05.360 So when you meet your Maker, your Maker is going to be Him. 39:05.360 --> 39:06.360 That's Jesus. 39:06.360 --> 39:09.720 It's not Brahma or any of these other false gods. 39:09.720 --> 39:10.840 It's going to be Jesus. 39:11.300 --> 39:16.140 These people that think that there's all these different roads to heaven and well, I just believe in a higher power 39:16.260 --> 39:19.760 And I'm not sure what that higher power is, but I know it's not Jesus 39:19.760 --> 39:23.340 Well, then you're a fool because this these are the words of the Living God 39:24.400 --> 39:30.320 He's the most famous god on the planet because he's the only god that there is, but obviously 39:30.320 --> 39:33.040 you know people would say, well no there's a lot more people that believe in Buddhism, 39:33.040 --> 39:35.340 there's a lot more people that believe in Hinduism. 39:35.340 --> 39:39.620 Those people are fools and they're going every day those people are dying and going into 39:39.620 --> 39:43.020 hell like a factory. 39:43.020 --> 39:46.260 But I'm just saying God is more famous. 39:46.600 --> 39:53.920 I mean, we've been going through some pretty cool Bible studies on Thursday night and talking 39:53.920 --> 39:59.360 about all the different things like Saul and the fulfillments of the flesh that happened 39:59.360 --> 40:07.060 because of David's covenant with Jonathan and how that even the spiritual applications 40:07.060 --> 40:08.060 of those things. 40:08.400 --> 40:11.160 And we were talking about that stuff on Thursday night again. 40:11.160 --> 40:14.200 And it's like, but then people say, oh, but the Bible's not true. 40:14.200 --> 40:15.920 How can you say that? 40:15.920 --> 40:19.680 When all these things, like, there's just a surface level of interpretation, 40:19.680 --> 40:22.440 and then there's just like the deeper things of God. 40:22.440 --> 40:25.280 And like, when you figure those deeper things of God out, 40:25.280 --> 40:29.240 it's just like, if you, how can you still believe that those things are just 40:29.240 --> 40:33.400 thrown together fairy tales that some madman made up or something? 40:33.700 --> 40:35.800 It's just not possible. 40:35.800 --> 40:41.380 The Bible is a super deep book and there's just, sometimes we're just really just scratching 40:41.380 --> 40:43.420 the surface on things. 40:43.420 --> 40:48.380 And the longer you read it, the more you get into it, the more you're going to uncover 40:48.380 --> 40:51.620 and the more cool things you're going to find. 40:51.620 --> 40:56.460 And some things, obviously, God just reveals to us in His time, but sometimes He reveals. 40:56.800 --> 40:59.800 some pretty cool stuff when you're just reading your Bible, 40:59.800 --> 41:02.000 when you're just going to church, you know, 41:02.000 --> 41:04.400 and like even when you're just getting preached the sermon, 41:04.400 --> 41:07.500 somebody that's just listening will come up with something 41:07.500 --> 41:09.100 and they'll go, have you ever thought about this? 41:09.100 --> 41:10.900 It's like, yeah, that stuff's cool. 41:10.900 --> 41:11.600 I like that. 41:11.600 --> 41:13.400 I don't need to take credit for everything. 41:13.400 --> 41:15.400 You know, there's a lot of guys that come up to me after church 41:15.400 --> 41:17.700 and they come up with some pretty cool stuff too. 41:17.700 --> 41:19.200 That's just the spirit of God. 41:19.400 --> 41:25.400 It's the Spirit of God working in us as we read through the Bible and we study the Bible. 41:26.200 --> 41:32.120 And those are great things. But the Bible is not true. It's just not true, folks. It's not true. 41:32.120 --> 41:37.560 It's like, no, your fairy tales aren't true. Your demon God's fairy tales aren't true. 41:38.520 --> 41:45.160 Joseph Smith's fairy tales aren't true. That's for sure. And Charles Taze Russell's 41:46.600 --> 41:54.360 dreams weren't true. He was a false prophet. I mean, LNG White's dreams didn't come true either. 41:55.160 --> 41:59.160 And William Miller's truth didn't come true. His dreams didn't come true. 41:59.960 --> 42:06.840 Muhammad was poisoned by a Jew by some goat meat that he ate or whatever. So 42:09.800 --> 42:13.980 Poisoned by the people that he hated the most because he killed one of her uncle or something like that 42:14.600 --> 42:22.100 Killed her father killed her uncle and then he poisoned her and or she poisoned him. Excuse me by some goat meat or something. I 42:22.760 --> 42:25.300 Mean he was a weirdo. He was actually 42:26.160 --> 42:33.040 Supposedly given his message by an angel when the Apostle Paul said don't if it even if it's an angel from heaven gives you 42:33.240 --> 42:36.160 Another gospel then they're supposed to be accursed 42:37.500 --> 42:44.380 So, but there's some pretty powerful demons driving that religion straight, all those 42:44.380 --> 42:49.860 people driving straight to hell by the millions all the time. 42:49.860 --> 42:55.180 Because their religion is a warlord religion where they go and just conquer people and 42:55.180 --> 43:00.680 kill people and take people into slavery and rape and pillage people. 43:00.680 --> 43:03.140 And then that's how they've built their little empire. 43:03.140 --> 43:04.980 And then when that got stopped... 43:05.600 --> 43:09.300 by the Crusades and by Christians, you know, 43:09.300 --> 43:13.300 then when the line was drawn in the sand 43:13.300 --> 43:14.840 and they kind of had their territories 43:14.840 --> 43:17.840 and the Christian nations had theirs, 43:17.840 --> 43:21.000 now they're just breeding people out of their countries 43:21.000 --> 43:24.340 because that's the second wave that they do. 43:24.340 --> 43:26.040 You know, if they can't beat you in a war, 43:26.040 --> 43:28.580 which they can't anymore because they're just a bunch of, 43:28.580 --> 43:32.780 you know, backwards goat herders or whatever. 43:33.000 --> 43:38.200 Then they just find a way to weasel their way into your country and change and then 43:38.200 --> 43:39.520 they'll just breed you out. 43:39.520 --> 43:43.400 They'll just have a bunch more kids and all the white liberal idiots that live in our 43:43.400 --> 43:46.360 country are just, you know, they love them. 43:46.360 --> 43:47.360 Oh, really? 43:47.360 --> 43:49.040 You just throw fags off of buildings? 43:49.040 --> 43:50.920 Oh, well, I still love you anyway. 43:50.920 --> 43:51.920 Christians, you're evil. 43:51.920 --> 43:56.160 You know, it's just like we just say that this should be done, but they actually do 43:56.160 --> 43:57.160 it in these countries. 43:57.800 --> 44:01.880 I mean they're raping their way through England right now. 44:01.880 --> 44:07.320 All these different Muslims or whatever and their government is allowing it to happen. 44:07.320 --> 44:11.440 And doing nothing about it and then they're just, they're, you know, the people that live 44:11.440 --> 44:15.840 in England are trying to rise up about it and then they just smash them and throw them 44:15.840 --> 44:16.840 in jail. 44:16.840 --> 44:20.040 They'll throw them in jail for even saying something online about it. 44:20.040 --> 44:21.040 It's just wild. 44:21.040 --> 44:23.240 It's almost like they're doing it on purpose. 44:24.200 --> 44:27.000 It's almost like they're allowing it on purpose. 44:27.000 --> 44:31.800 What does a white liberal and a Muslim have to do with each other? 44:34.800 --> 44:42.680 Yeah, they hate Jesus, but I mean, but if Satan is against Satan, how can their goals 44:42.680 --> 44:43.680 be achieved? 44:43.680 --> 44:44.880 They can't be. 44:44.880 --> 44:47.680 So like that just shows you that they are on Team Satan. 44:47.680 --> 44:52.720 I mean, we should just be able to open our eyes and see those things for what they are. 44:52.720 --> 44:57.800 But when our, I mean, we just preach that people should be put to death because the 44:57.800 --> 45:00.200 death penalty and what the Bible says. 45:00.200 --> 45:02.500 We don't bury women up to their necks. 45:02.900 --> 45:05.940 and have one witness to put them to death, 45:05.940 --> 45:09.100 we're not trying to institute these things into our country 45:09.100 --> 45:11.740 because they're against the law or whatever, 45:11.740 --> 45:14.020 but they're actually trying to get those things instituted 45:14.020 --> 45:15.580 in the countries that they go to. 45:17.300 --> 45:22.020 I mean, I'm seeing videos of Muslims chasing people 45:22.020 --> 45:24.860 and beating them up and all kinds of stuff, 45:24.860 --> 45:27.700 but I mean, England is basically just taken over. 45:28.900 --> 45:32.500 and these other European nations. 45:32.500 --> 45:35.700 And then along with the whole drug culture 45:35.700 --> 45:37.820 that they're doing, where they're just 45:37.820 --> 45:39.660 allowing these druggies. 45:39.660 --> 45:42.340 I mean, Seattle is just wrecked. 45:42.340 --> 45:44.180 Seattle is just a lost cause when 45:44.180 --> 45:46.180 it comes to their culture up there. 45:46.180 --> 45:48.540 But I don't know, I'm getting off on stuff 45:48.540 --> 45:49.780 that has nothing to do with it. 45:49.780 --> 45:54.500 But I mean, it's just sad to see the world and the state 45:54.500 --> 45:55.780 that it is. 45:55.780 --> 45:56.280 But. 45:56.800 --> 46:00.720 The great thing about Jesus Christ though is that, and about Christianity is that he says, 46:00.720 --> 46:06.640 I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 46:07.680 --> 46:13.040 Christianity is about salvation that's free. Salvation doesn't cost us anything, 46:13.600 --> 46:22.240 but it costs Jesus everything. He died for us, he rose from the dead, he was mocked continuously for us. 46:23.400 --> 46:29.800 He was born in a manger for us. He was born poor. He came into this world as a servant. 46:29.800 --> 46:34.040 He served us. I mean, and then even he said, I go to prepare a place for you. 46:35.480 --> 46:41.080 I mean, he's preparing a place for us. He's coming again. And when he fights, 46:41.080 --> 46:45.000 he's going to fight them with the sword of his mouth. We just have to sit there and watch him 46:45.000 --> 46:46.500 get revenge for us. 46:46.600 --> 46:52.600 That's pretty cool. He's not like, feed me grapes and wave this palm branch on me while you guys go kill everybody. 46:52.600 --> 46:57.600 No, he's like, no, I got this, guys. This is a long time coming. 46:58.800 --> 47:02.840 So, you know, we have a different God than these other people serve. 47:02.840 --> 47:07.000 These other people serve these demon gods who demand sacrifices of their children on 47:07.000 --> 47:12.480 altars and through fires and, you know, all these other weird things that they have them 47:12.480 --> 47:13.480 do. 47:13.480 --> 47:14.480 But our God isn't like that. 47:14.480 --> 47:16.120 He sacrificed Himself for us. 47:16.120 --> 47:19.960 You know, that's why Christianity just flipped the world upside down because nobody had ever 47:19.960 --> 47:21.400 seen anything like this before. 47:21.900 --> 47:24.120 And now, I mean, it's just people are just used to it. 47:24.120 --> 47:25.320 Oh, he died for us. 47:25.320 --> 47:26.080 Oh, yeah. 47:26.080 --> 47:28.420 No, just keep on saying that stupid crap all the way 47:28.420 --> 47:29.700 to hell. 47:29.700 --> 47:33.200 But while we're on this earth, we 47:33.200 --> 47:36.840 should tell people that he will give unto them. 47:36.840 --> 47:39.840 Anybody that's a thirst, anybody that wants salvation, 47:39.840 --> 47:43.960 anybody that needs salvation, you can get it for free. 47:43.960 --> 47:45.800 All you have to do is ask for it. 47:45.800 --> 47:49.400 And then somebody was like, oh, so I have to ask for it. 47:50.600 --> 47:52.680 That's not free, that's works. 47:52.680 --> 47:55.480 I'm like, dude, just shut up, bozo. 47:55.480 --> 47:58.920 How's that, like, how's that works? 47:58.920 --> 48:01.620 When you go fill out a welfare, you know, 48:01.620 --> 48:04.340 paperwork for welfare, are you working for it at that point? 48:04.340 --> 48:05.600 Or are you still just asking for it? 48:05.600 --> 48:08.000 Here's a form, you have to ask for it. 48:08.000 --> 48:10.000 Is that, did you work for that? 48:10.000 --> 48:11.400 Yeah, I filled out that paperwork, man. 48:11.400 --> 48:13.440 It was really hard work. 48:13.440 --> 48:14.900 Oh, did you have to go to school for that? 48:15.400 --> 48:19.280 I mean, because pretty much they can ask, you can have someone do that for you too. 48:19.280 --> 48:22.360 I mean if you really ask, oh I don't speak very good English. 48:22.360 --> 48:25.120 Oh okay, they'll have a translator do it for you too. 48:25.120 --> 48:26.120 I mean, it's ridiculous. 48:26.120 --> 48:31.920 But it says in verse 7, he that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his 48:31.920 --> 48:35.280 God and he shall be my son. 48:35.280 --> 48:42.040 So look, another great promise, that we will inherit all things. 48:42.040 --> 48:43.160 It's not just part of it. 48:43.500 --> 48:50.500 It's not just some of it. It's all things. And it says, He'll be, I'll be his God and He shall be my son. 48:50.500 --> 48:59.500 We're not just step kids. We're not just, uh, we're not, we're not just second-class citizens. 48:59.500 --> 49:05.500 We get the full adoption with all the bonuses that go along with it. 49:05.500 --> 49:10.500 We are actually called His sons. God's children. 49:11.700 --> 49:16.400 And a lot of people adopt children and they don't treat them the same as they do other children, but that's not the case with God. 49:16.400 --> 49:17.900 God is not like that. 49:17.900 --> 49:23.100 God gives us full inheritance rights just like anybody else. 49:23.100 --> 49:25.300 Now it says, he that overcomeeth shall inherit all things. 49:25.300 --> 49:26.100 Well, what does that mean? 49:26.100 --> 49:29.100 Well, I'm not going to have you turn there, but you can write this down if you want. 49:29.100 --> 49:33.500 First John 5, 4 says, for whatsoever is born of God overcomeeth the world. 49:33.500 --> 49:36.900 And this is the victory that overcomeeth the world, even our faith. 49:37.200 --> 49:40.320 So overcoming the world isn't some works that you have to do. 49:40.320 --> 49:43.040 Overcoming the world is just done by our faith. 49:43.040 --> 49:48.500 And it says, who is he that overcomeeth the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God. 49:48.500 --> 49:51.240 All we have to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God. 49:51.240 --> 49:53.560 We have faith in Him. We believe in Him. 49:53.560 --> 49:55.400 And that's how you overcome. 49:55.400 --> 49:57.740 So people will take verses again like this. 49:57.740 --> 49:59.740 Oh, we've got to overcome all things. 50:00.400 --> 50:02.800 And then they turn it into some song or something. 50:02.800 --> 50:05.960 We shall overcome. 50:05.960 --> 50:08.040 And they don't even know what that means. 50:08.040 --> 50:10.800 What it means is you have to believe on the Son of God. 50:10.800 --> 50:14.000 You can take that water of life freely. 50:14.000 --> 50:15.840 If you ask someone for a glass of water 50:15.840 --> 50:18.080 and they give it to you, does that works? 50:18.080 --> 50:19.600 How does that works? 50:19.600 --> 50:22.960 I mean, people just have no clue what that means. 50:22.960 --> 50:25.800 Oh, you got to ask for something so that's works. 50:25.800 --> 50:27.500 Oh, you had to do something. 50:28.500 --> 50:32.180 Yeah, it's called faith because nobody's ever seen Jesus before. 50:32.180 --> 50:35.940 So you're asking in faith from somebody that you've never seen before, who's never 50:35.940 --> 50:40.180 audibly talked to you before, and you're taking and seeing the words of this book 50:40.180 --> 50:42.980 and saying, I believe the words that are right in front of me. 50:43.600 --> 50:50.000 And the antithesis though to this idea though is the but on the next verse verse 8 it says 50:50.260 --> 50:52.260 but the fearful and 50:52.820 --> 51:00.980 unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part or 51:02.020 --> 51:04.920 Their inheritance, you know that when it says their part 51:04.920 --> 51:10.480 It's talking about what they're gonna inherit in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death 51:11.300 --> 51:14.380 So, if we overcome, we inherit all things. 51:14.380 --> 51:17.620 If we get the water of life freely, we get to inherit all things. 51:17.620 --> 51:19.520 We will be sons. 51:19.520 --> 51:24.540 But their butt is that their part is to be put in the lake of fire. 51:24.540 --> 51:27.540 I mean, how can you even choose that choice? 51:27.540 --> 51:34.020 But people do all the time, every single day, 24-7-3-6-5, they're going in like an assembly 51:34.020 --> 51:34.940 line into hell. 51:36.300 --> 51:42.780 Because you know I mean they're just so deceived and then sometimes their self then after they're deceived they're self deceived 51:42.780 --> 51:44.780 And they really truly just don't 51:45.520 --> 51:51.260 They don't understand sometimes. I think that that maybe they just don't understand what it is that they're thrown away, but then sometimes they do 51:51.940 --> 51:54.720 Sometimes they just would rather they just can't see 51:55.380 --> 52:01.740 Circumstant wisdom they can't see they don't understand what it's really gonna be like or something or they just don't care some people do 52:01.740 --> 52:03.000 Just really hate God 52:04.000 --> 52:10.000 And it's unfortunate, but I guarantee you though, when they're in hell for like three seconds, 52:10.000 --> 52:13.000 they're going to wish that they had made a different choice. 52:13.000 --> 52:15.000 I mean, just even three seconds. 52:15.000 --> 52:20.000 But then they got to all eternity to think about it and regret that decision. 52:20.000 --> 52:25.000 Verse 9, And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had seven vials, 52:25.000 --> 52:28.700 full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither. 52:28.900 --> 52:31.300 and I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." 52:31.300 --> 52:34.060 So again, people get confused over this, 52:34.060 --> 52:35.480 but it says, 52:35.480 --> 52:37.300 "'And he carried me away into the spirit 52:37.300 --> 52:38.700 to a great and high mountain 52:38.700 --> 52:40.740 and showed me that great city, 52:40.740 --> 52:44.380 the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 52:44.380 --> 52:46.940 Having the glory of God and her light 52:46.940 --> 52:49.500 was like unto stone most precious, 52:49.500 --> 52:53.060 even like a jasper stone clear as crystal.'" 52:53.400 --> 53:00.760 And so it just describes all these different, it describes the Great High Wall and the 12 53:00.760 --> 53:05.300 gates and those are representative of the 12 tribes of Israel. 53:05.300 --> 53:08.200 And then it has the 12 foundations. 53:08.700 --> 53:11.700 and the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 53:11.700 --> 53:13.940 And so it describes all these different, 53:13.940 --> 53:16.180 I'm not gonna get into the whole meat and bones 53:16.180 --> 53:18.740 of all that, but, and then it says, 53:18.740 --> 53:20.780 and he that talked with me had a golden reed 53:20.780 --> 53:22.940 to measure the city and the gates thereof 53:22.940 --> 53:23.780 and the wall thereof. 53:23.780 --> 53:25.820 So he's gonna measure the city, 53:25.820 --> 53:28.080 and the city lie of four square, 53:28.080 --> 53:31.900 and the length is as large as the breadth. 53:32.200 --> 53:36.360 and he measured the city with the reed, 12,000 furlongs. 53:37.400 --> 53:40.500 The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 53:40.500 --> 53:43.500 So everything is equal, it's like a cube. 53:43.500 --> 53:44.840 Okay? 53:44.840 --> 53:49.000 And so the height of it is just as much as the width of it 53:49.000 --> 53:50.540 and the depth of it. 53:50.540 --> 53:52.920 So it is like a cube, essentially. 53:52.920 --> 53:56.340 But 12,000 furlongs is about 1,500 miles. 53:57.380 --> 53:59.800 So a furlong is an eighth of a mile long. 53:59.900 --> 54:04.900 And so if you times that by 12,000, you're going to come up with about 1,500 miles. 54:04.900 --> 54:14.900 So it's 1,500 miles tall, it's 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles deep, which is about the size of, 54:14.900 --> 54:22.900 yeah, around the size of, I want to say India, but anyway, so yeah, it's about... 54:24.600 --> 54:30.080 So it covers about 2.25 million square miles. 54:30.080 --> 54:34.880 And it's larger than the size of India, about half the size of the United States. 54:34.880 --> 54:37.720 Okay, I didn't know that the United States is bigger than India. 54:37.720 --> 54:41.920 Okay, I guess I need to look at some geography a little bit more often. 54:41.920 --> 54:43.640 So that many people live in India? 54:43.640 --> 54:45.840 We only have 300 million people here? 54:45.840 --> 54:47.520 Wow, that's crazy. 54:47.520 --> 54:52.400 But the city is a volume of 3.375 billion cubic miles. 54:52.700 --> 54:58.540 forming a perfect cube matching, apparently matching the shape of the holiest of holies. 55:00.800 --> 55:08.320 So apparently the height reaching would be past the Earth's atmosphere as we know it right now. 55:09.280 --> 55:14.560 So maybe the atmosphere is going to be changed. I don't know. But he measured the wall thereof 55:14.560 --> 55:21.040 in hundred and forty and four cubits according to the measure of a man that is of the angel. 55:21.040 --> 55:23.200 So and then the wall. 55:26.200 --> 55:32.200 is 144 cubits thick, and that translates to about 216 feet thick. 55:32.200 --> 55:39.200 Verse 18, In the building of the wall of it was of Jasper, and the city of pure gold, 55:39.200 --> 55:41.200 like under clear glass. 55:41.200 --> 55:46.200 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. 55:46.200 --> 55:50.200 The first foundation was Jasper, and the second, Sapphire, and third, 55:50.700 --> 55:55.980 Chalcedony and the fourth an emerald. So then it goes on to list all these different stones. 55:56.700 --> 56:01.580 And what this reminds me of is what the high priest wore. They had to wear that 56:02.540 --> 56:07.340 that breastplate and it had all the different stones that represented each tribe of the children 56:07.340 --> 56:13.980 of Israel. And then the Umin and Thurman were on that outfit also. 56:14.800 --> 56:22.800 But then it says, the twelve gates were twelve pearls, every several gate was of one pearl, 56:22.800 --> 56:27.840 and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 56:27.840 --> 56:31.920 And I saw no temple therein for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb are the temple of it. 56:32.500 --> 56:38.180 So there's no temple, and the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine 56:38.180 --> 56:39.180 in it. 56:39.180 --> 56:42.700 For the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof." 56:42.700 --> 56:47.480 Now, it doesn't say that there's no sun and no moon, it just says that there's no need 56:47.480 --> 56:49.080 of the sun and the moon. 56:49.080 --> 56:53.100 So don't get confused about that either, because I think that the sun and the moon are still 56:53.100 --> 56:59.100 going to be there, but there's no need of them to shine on because 56:59.600 --> 57:03.560 There is going to be no night either. 57:03.560 --> 57:08.400 And then the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it. 57:08.400 --> 57:11.820 And the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. 57:11.820 --> 57:17.520 So there will apparently still be kings and there will still be nations. 57:17.520 --> 57:22.080 And it says, and the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there shall be 57:22.080 --> 57:23.280 no night there. 57:24.100 --> 57:29.700 So, there'll be no reason to shut the gate, there'll be no night, it's always gonna be daylight, 57:29.700 --> 57:33.700 which I kinda like. So, apparently there won't be a reason to sleep either. 57:33.700 --> 57:37.900 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 57:37.900 --> 57:40.300 So, I don't think that's gonna be the only city in the world. 57:40.300 --> 57:48.200 No unsaved people, no reprobates, no weirdos, no wickedness of any kind, no sin. 57:48.200 --> 57:51.300 So that means we'll be incapable of committing sin. 57:51.700 --> 57:59.700 And there will be, I mean, there's just no chance that no devil, no devils, nothing evil is going to be able to enter in there. 57:59.700 --> 58:04.700 And so that's, I mean, that sounds like heaven, doesn't it? Sounds like paradise. 58:04.700 --> 58:13.700 It seems like something that just is unattainable to us, because we live in this world in a different kind of grind right now, in a different setting. 58:13.700 --> 58:15.700 And so it's probably hard for us to imagine. 58:16.200 --> 58:22.120 World like that and it kind of seems like well is that really real could that really happen it is gonna happen 58:22.120 --> 58:26.520 I I 100% believe it, but sometimes it does seem like it's a far-off 58:27.160 --> 58:30.080 But really we're just like one heartbeat away 58:30.840 --> 58:32.840 from that being our 58:33.140 --> 58:40.100 Eternal destiny tomorrow. I mean we could just wake up in heaven tomorrow. I mean with 58:40.700 --> 58:45.700 Tim it could have been that they could have been five minutes for him. He would have woke up in heaven 58:46.740 --> 58:52.980 You know we don't know when our day is gonna come. I was talking to someone this morning. They said that they had 58:53.860 --> 58:59.960 News about their heart and that they were living with some kind of heart issues that they didn't know that they had 59:00.460 --> 59:03.040 Said he's probably had it for 20 years, and he didn't even know it 59:03.140 --> 59:08.120 But he you know works out and stays healthy and fit and he said the doctor said that 59:09.900 --> 59:13.380 He's probably you know the reason why he probably is still alive is because 59:14.340 --> 59:17.440 He's been you know stayed fit and everything for a long time and 59:18.580 --> 59:21.720 That's probably why he's still alive, but he's like I 59:22.740 --> 59:24.740 told the doctor he's like a 59:25.700 --> 59:29.440 I'm not worried about it at all because some people will get a news like that and they're felt 59:29.440 --> 59:31.820 They'll fret themselves to death from just hearing that information 59:32.620 --> 59:35.420 You know the Bible says men's heart failed him for fear 59:36.400 --> 59:37.940 you know, in the end times. 59:37.940 --> 59:39.780 Because they're so worried about all these things 59:39.780 --> 59:41.620 that are coming upon them, but you know what? 59:41.620 --> 59:44.020 If you're saved, you don't really have anything 59:44.020 --> 59:44.860 to worry about. 59:44.860 --> 59:48.080 Your worries in this life are over once you pass. 59:48.080 --> 59:49.860 I'm not trying to get you to go kill yourself or anything. 59:49.860 --> 59:52.300 Don't get me wrong here, I'm just saying that 59:52.300 --> 59:54.080 when we pass from this life to the next life, 59:54.080 --> 59:55.940 all those worries are over. 59:55.940 --> 59:58.020 And you know, all we have to do is look forward 59:58.020 --> 01:00:01.220 to the great things that God has in store for us later on. 01:00:01.220 --> 01:00:03.400 So this life is just... 01:00:03.500 --> 01:00:05.100 part of our journey. 01:00:05.100 --> 01:00:08.300 And it's the hard part. 01:00:08.300 --> 01:00:12.500 But the easy part is when we enter into his rest. 01:00:12.500 --> 01:00:15.500 So obviously we should do the best that we can in this life 01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:17.200 now and enjoy the things that we have, 01:00:17.200 --> 01:00:19.400 the blessings that we have now. 01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:21.700 And this life is a short life. 01:00:21.700 --> 01:00:26.300 You know, I'm 51 years old and I'm on the downward slope, 01:00:26.300 --> 01:00:28.300 according to like statistics. 01:00:28.300 --> 01:00:29.200 You know, you're... 01:00:29.300 --> 01:00:33.380 Moses said you got three score and ten and anything after that is like the cherry on 01:00:33.380 --> 01:00:34.860 top. 01:00:34.860 --> 01:00:42.980 So enjoy your life, live a blessed life, keep God's commandments and obviously there are 01:00:42.980 --> 01:00:44.740 people out there that are dying and going to hell. 01:00:44.740 --> 01:00:47.100 We need to tell people about that. 01:00:47.500 --> 01:00:51.660 Let's pray. Lord, we thank you so much for the book of Revelation, for all the promises that we 01:00:51.660 --> 01:00:56.700 are given. Lord, the no pain, the no death, all these things sound like the ultimate health plan, 01:00:56.700 --> 01:01:03.820 Lord. And we're so happy that we have those that are saved amongst us, our family members, 01:01:03.820 --> 01:01:08.460 our friends. Lord, help us to love other people. Help us to shine the light of the gospel to them. 01:01:09.020 --> 01:01:14.460 Help us to appreciate the things that we have in this life and to love them as we have time with 01:01:14.460 --> 01:01:15.100 them. 01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:20.800 And to, Lord, to appreciate the things that you give us here on this earth. 01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:23.100 Appreciate the church that we have. 01:01:23.100 --> 01:01:27.800 Appreciate the family members that we have and the spouses and the children that we have 01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:29.600 and the time that we have with them on this earth. 01:01:29.600 --> 01:01:31.600 Pray that you just... 01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:36.160 Bless us now as we go our separate ways and bring us back to church on Thursday. 01:01:36.160 --> 01:01:44.520 Pray that you'd help those that are sick and pray that you watch over Timothy as he goes through surgery tomorrow and the doctors as they work on him. 01:01:44.520 --> 01:01:57.700 Pray that you guide your hands, the hands of the doctors upon him and pray that you'd help Brother Sean and Miss Jessica to deal with it and just help the kids to be helpful for them and help us to pray for them. 01:01:57.700 --> 01:01:58.760 Remember to pray for them. 01:01:59.200 --> 01:02:02.240 And we pray that you just bless our church down. 01:02:02.240 --> 01:02:03.520 Jesus name we pray, amen. 01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:15.980 To 307 for closing him 307 in the blue 01:02:22.500 --> 01:02:27.540 My faith looks up to thee, 307 in the blue. 01:02:35.500 --> 01:02:37.500 first. 01:02:37.500 --> 01:02:39.500 My faith looks 01:02:39.500 --> 01:02:41.500 up to thee. 01:02:41.500 --> 01:02:43.500 Thou 01:02:43.500 --> 01:02:45.500 the 01:02:45.500 --> 01:02:46.400 most kind. 01:02:48.600 --> 01:02:49.300 See tem 01:02:56.900 --> 01:02:57.700 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 01:05:17.600 --> 01:05:19.600 And Brother Alex, can you close us with a burp please?
