WEBVTT 00:00:00.119 --> 00:00:02.363 All right, let's wave our bibles around and make Jesus glad. 00:00:02.363 --> 00:00:03.661 The devil, mad, say this together. 00:00:03.661 --> 00:00:04.104 Say, haven't he? 00:00:04.104 --> 00:00:06.806 Father, I'm so glad to be here today. 00:00:06.806 --> 00:00:13.426 This is where I receive revelation upon which my faith is built. 00:00:13.426 --> 00:00:30.765 My faith is built on the rock, and that rock is the reveal, knowledge of your word given to me by your spirit, and with that combination I shall not be defeated and I have the victory on every hand. 00:00:30.765 --> 00:00:39.066 In Jesus' name, amen, praise God, glory, glory, glory. 00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:45.670 Let's turn in our bibles to two places, both in the gospels, matthew 24 and Luke 21. 00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:58.350 And we will read what Jesus is saying here, the head of the church, and Matthew 24, verse one. 00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:05.867 And Jesus went out and parted from the temple and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. 00:01:05.867 --> 00:01:08.025 In other words, they were so impressed with the temple. 00:01:08.025 --> 00:01:14.549 They were very impressed with the World Trade Center, number one World Trade Center. 00:01:14.549 --> 00:01:22.009 The other trade centers are gone, but now we've got number one World Trade Center. 00:01:22.009 --> 00:01:24.787 And so they were so impressed. 00:01:24.787 --> 00:01:33.088 And Jesus said to them you see, these things Verily, I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. 00:01:33.088 --> 00:01:42.790 See, our prophet is talking, and not just a few years after this, 40 AD, the heritage temple was destroyed and one million Jews died. 00:01:42.790 --> 00:01:47.343 Now he didn't prophesy that one million Jews died, but I mean he knew it. 00:01:47.343 --> 00:01:51.930 I mean you know things can get tough. 00:01:51.930 --> 00:02:05.832 So he's letting them know, he's prophesying ahead of time, so when it happens they won't be amazed, they won't be tempted to faint. 00:02:05.832 --> 00:02:09.709 If you're gonna faint, you're gonna faint right here in your mind. 00:02:09.709 --> 00:02:14.909 And as he sat verse three on the Mount of Olives, you know, guess what? 00:02:14.909 --> 00:02:16.664 He's coming back to the Mount of Olives. 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.068 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately. 00:02:23.068 --> 00:02:29.325 So he was talking to the Jews and then suddenly they wanted a private audience because they were shook up. 00:02:29.325 --> 00:02:33.549 He's showing them what they were so impressed with. 00:02:33.549 --> 00:02:38.826 He said they're not gonna be one stone left upon each other, it's gonna be totally destroyed. 00:02:38.826 --> 00:02:59.451 And so they said came unto him privately, saying tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming, thy Perusia the Greek, thy glorious appearing? 00:02:59.451 --> 00:03:03.086 What will be the sign of thy glorious appearing? 00:03:03.086 --> 00:03:06.745 The sign and of the end of the world. 00:03:06.745 --> 00:03:10.507 Really, world is not the right word, it's age, end of the age. 00:03:10.507 --> 00:03:13.087 What are the signs? 00:03:13.087 --> 00:03:17.127 All right, and then let's turn over to Luke 21. 00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:23.145 I'm not gonna go into all of what Jesus said about the signs because we mostly know it. 00:03:23.145 --> 00:03:34.292 I'll say a few things, but we're living through one right now Luke 21, verse 25,. 00:03:34.292 --> 00:03:46.466 There will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars and upon the earth, the stress of nations with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring. 00:03:46.466 --> 00:03:47.122 How many of you know? 00:03:47.122 --> 00:03:54.050 It's not talking about the ocean, talking about people, seas and the waves roaring. 00:03:54.050 --> 00:04:00.712 Anybody see the partial eclipse yesterday, the annular eclipse? 00:04:00.712 --> 00:04:08.847 Somebody lent us their glasses, so that's when I got to see it at the peak right and it was kind of strange, you know. 00:04:08.847 --> 00:04:10.826 It went back home after that, my house. 00:04:10.826 --> 00:04:13.846 I could tell it more at home because the house was just darker. 00:04:13.846 --> 00:04:19.906 I face south and I've got a lot of windows on the south side of the house and it was just darker in there. 00:04:19.906 --> 00:04:27.067 You know, you could really tell it, even though we only got about 84% of what they got in parts of Texas. 00:04:27.067 --> 00:04:31.625 Well, it's a sign, you know, isn't it amazing? 00:04:31.625 --> 00:04:32.862 It's happening right. 00:04:32.983 --> 00:04:39.048 This sign occurred right during this war in Israel. 00:04:39.048 --> 00:04:41.524 It's not an accident. 00:04:41.524 --> 00:04:43.603 I'll tell you something else. 00:04:43.603 --> 00:04:44.466 It's not an accident. 00:04:44.466 --> 00:04:54.427 You know, months ago we have a calendar meeting and they get together and decide and chart what we're gonna have ahead of time, six months ahead of time on the church calendar. 00:04:54.427 --> 00:04:57.949 And it gets busy and they have to decide. 00:04:57.949 --> 00:05:05.709 And they decided a long time ago that in our Bible study that last Sunday was gonna be Rise Up and Bless Israel. 00:05:05.709 --> 00:05:07.225 That was determined six months ago. 00:05:07.225 --> 00:05:07.947 How many of you know? 00:05:07.947 --> 00:05:12.584 I mean, we taught on Israel in the Bible study the day of the attack. 00:05:12.584 --> 00:05:16.413 That's a sign. 00:05:16.413 --> 00:05:18.882 Maybe you don't get it. 00:05:18.882 --> 00:05:19.425 I get it. 00:05:19.425 --> 00:05:20.168 I mean, I get it. 00:05:20.168 --> 00:05:23.709 I mean God is saying y'all are out on the course. 00:05:23.709 --> 00:05:28.831 All right, let me keep reading here. 00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:34.189 And so verse 28,. 00:05:34.189 --> 00:05:39.283 And when these things begin to come to pass, how many of you know they are? 00:05:39.283 --> 00:05:42.505 A lot of them have come to pass and a lot of them are yet to come to pass. 00:05:42.505 --> 00:05:51.245 When these things begin to come to pass, then dig a hole. 00:05:51.245 --> 00:05:54.764 No, get you a bomb shelter. 00:05:54.764 --> 00:05:58.146 Make sure it's radiation proof. 00:05:58.146 --> 00:06:00.182 No, he said. 00:06:00.182 --> 00:06:07.908 Then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh. 00:06:07.908 --> 00:06:17.550 And he spake unto them a parable behold the fig tree and all the trees. 00:06:17.550 --> 00:06:22.002 The fig tree, according to Joel 1-7, is Israel. 00:06:22.002 --> 00:06:27.346 All the trees he's talking about are the nations that pertain to the persecution of Israel. 00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:31.165 Well, where does it say that? 00:06:31.165 --> 00:06:34.045 Well, you've got to read the Bible with a New Testament understanding. 00:06:34.045 --> 00:06:35.526 He's talking to the Jews there. 00:06:35.526 --> 00:06:42.404 He's talking to spiritual, the dead people and, yeah, yeah, he's talking to his disciples, but they're spiritually dead. 00:06:42.404 --> 00:06:44.387 They can't even understand a lot of the stuff. 00:06:44.387 --> 00:06:48.507 And let me, while I'm at it, jesus never talked about the rapture of the church. 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.728 So anything Jesus said is not talking about the rapture. 00:06:51.728 --> 00:06:54.908 This is where people get so fouled up. 00:06:54.908 --> 00:06:58.286 They think the church is going through the rapture. 00:06:58.286 --> 00:07:00.105 I mean going through the tribulation. 00:07:00.105 --> 00:07:03.526 No, would Jesus go through the tribulation? 00:07:03.526 --> 00:07:05.403 Well, we're in him. 00:07:05.403 --> 00:07:10.887 I mean just that understanding alone ought to let you know that we're not going through it. 00:07:10.887 --> 00:07:16.322 But if you're just insist on tribulating, go ahead, be my guest. 00:07:16.322 --> 00:07:19.560 He said. 00:07:19.581 --> 00:07:31.165 Behold, take a look, focus on, pay attention to Israel in the context of the signs of his return, the signs of the times. 00:07:31.165 --> 00:07:33.646 He's answering this question. 00:07:33.646 --> 00:07:38.709 He's answering the question for our benefit. 00:07:38.709 --> 00:07:48.608 Keep your eyes on Israel when they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 00:07:48.608 --> 00:07:55.329 So likewise ye, when you see these things come to pass, know that ye, that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 00:07:55.329 --> 00:07:59.684 Verily, I say unto you this generation, what generation is that? 00:07:59.684 --> 00:08:07.291 The generation that witnesses these things, especially Israel becoming a nation in 1948. 00:08:07.291 --> 00:08:14.045 Big sign, yes, that's my generation. 00:08:14.045 --> 00:08:21.387 This generation, that's my generation, shall not pass away until all be fulfilled. 00:08:21.387 --> 00:08:24.149 Whew, glory to God. 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:25.735 Heaven and earth shall pass away. 00:08:25.735 --> 00:08:29.670 Heaven and earth shall pass away. 00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:33.248 Now, he's not talking about heaven, where God is. 00:08:33.248 --> 00:08:35.928 He's talking about the heavens just above the earth. 00:08:35.928 --> 00:08:37.043 Heaven and earth here. 00:08:37.043 --> 00:08:37.245 What? 00:08:37.245 --> 00:08:44.066 Because of global warming, peter said the whole thing's gonna burn up. 00:08:44.066 --> 00:08:52.827 I mean, how foolish it is for us to think that we can somehow preserve the earth by buying electric cars. 00:08:52.827 --> 00:08:53.744 You want an electric car? 00:08:53.744 --> 00:08:54.480 Fine, I'm not. 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.205 But don't buy it because of the earth, because this is all gonna go away. 00:08:58.205 --> 00:08:59.823 There'll be no sea. 00:08:59.823 --> 00:09:06.865 Can you imagine on earth without the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, without the Gulf of Mexico, without all the sea? 00:09:06.865 --> 00:09:10.129 I mean, the earth is two thirds water, isn't it? 00:09:10.129 --> 00:09:10.984 Or something like that? 00:09:10.984 --> 00:09:13.166 I forgot what my geography taught me. 00:09:13.166 --> 00:09:15.083 Think it's two thirds. 00:09:15.083 --> 00:09:19.345 Are we gonna be overpopulated? 00:09:19.345 --> 00:09:26.667 No, so he's giving us some clues here. 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:32.889 He said heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 00:09:32.889 --> 00:09:36.769 So today I do wanna speak on signs of the times. 00:09:36.769 --> 00:09:39.427 You know our God signs of the times. 00:09:39.427 --> 00:09:42.307 It's right to, and I speak on it often. 00:09:42.307 --> 00:10:03.289 I talk about it a lot and I go back to what God has given me supernaturally, with visitations that are spectacular guidance, visions, dreams, things that he's shared with me over these years, many years, and we're living in these days. 00:10:03.289 --> 00:10:07.202 I mean he gives us this not to scare us but to prepare us. 00:10:08.727 --> 00:10:14.546 Amen, this message really is really meant to be an encouragement for you. 00:10:14.546 --> 00:10:31.163 It's meant to take some of the mystery out of what's going on and for us to see what's going on without it affecting us emotionally, to where we're just like this instead of like this. 00:10:31.163 --> 00:10:42.264 He said when you see these things start to come to pass, lift up your heads, look up, lift up your head. 00:10:42.264 --> 00:10:49.738 You know, really it means to stand up and be elated. 00:10:49.738 --> 00:10:53.163 That's the great. 00:10:53.163 --> 00:10:54.904 Stand up and be elated. 00:10:54.904 --> 00:10:59.188 That's not really talking about look up to heaven. 00:10:59.188 --> 00:11:00.864 It's really. 00:11:00.965 --> 00:11:04.826 The sense of these is that you're walking like that and this is the Jews. 00:11:04.826 --> 00:11:07.745 We got a better covenant than them. 00:11:07.745 --> 00:11:10.287 They are gonna go through the tribulation. 00:11:10.287 --> 00:11:18.125 The Jews are going through the tribulation, the Gentiles going through the tribulation, but the church is not. 00:11:18.125 --> 00:11:26.307 So if he's talking to them and telling them, hey, don't be looking like when this stuff comes to pass, don't be doing like this, do like this. 00:11:28.259 --> 00:11:29.705 Well, how much more should we do that?
