Viewers like you.
00:00:06.689 --> 00:00:08.625
Welcome to "all in with pastor jordan easley."
00:00:08.625 --> 00:00:11.661
Today's message is about to begin, and we invite you to
00:00:11.661 --> 00:00:14.564
Prepare your heart and mind to hear an inspiring message from
00:00:14.564 --> 00:00:17.700
God's word.
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:19.069
We hope and pray for god to speak to you today as you seek
00:00:19.069 --> 00:00:21.704
To live your life all in for jesus christ.
00:00:21.704 --> 00:00:25.208
And now from first baptist church in cleveland, tennessee,
00:00:25.208 --> 00:00:28.344
Here's pastor jordan easley.
00:00:28.344 --> 00:00:31.114
Pastor jordan easley: you know, for over 2,000 years, the world
00:00:31.114 --> 00:00:33.249
Has been talking about the second coming of jesus christ,
00:00:33.249 --> 00:00:37.487
And today as we turn to the back of the book in revelation
00:00:37.487 --> 00:00:40.590
Chapter 19, god is gonna give us a glimpse of what that moment is
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:45.428
Going to be like.
00:00:45.428 --> 00:00:46.763
If you're taking notes, the very top line on your notes today
00:00:46.763 --> 00:00:49.899
Should say, "the reality of his return," because it's real that
00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:53.736
Jesus is coming back.
00:00:53.736 --> 00:00:55.572
In revelation 19:11, john said, "then i saw heaven open.
00:00:55.572 --> 00:00:59.709
And there was a white horse."
00:00:59.709 --> 00:01:02.078
Now i want you to remember that this isn't just a dream, it's
00:01:02.078 --> 00:01:04.681
Not a hallucination, that john's having on the island of patmos.
00:01:04.681 --> 00:01:08.518
This is a vision that he received from jesus through
00:01:08.518 --> 00:01:12.589
An angel, and the bible says that he saw this vision.
00:01:12.589 --> 00:01:17.193
That's what the bible says.
00:01:17.193 --> 00:01:18.561
"i saw heaven open," the lord allowed him to see what was
00:01:18.561 --> 00:01:23.366
Gonna happen in the future.
00:01:23.366 --> 00:01:25.935
Now we've already seen several things that jesus allowed john
00:01:25.935 --> 00:01:29.405
To see.
00:01:29.405 --> 00:01:30.740
If you've walked through this study with us through the book
00:01:30.740 --> 00:01:32.609
Of revelation, we've seen the rapture of the church.
00:01:32.609 --> 00:01:36.246
We've seen the seven years of tribulation, we've seen the
00:01:36.246 --> 00:01:39.816
Antichrist coming to rule and to reign, and he's given us a great
00:01:39.816 --> 00:01:44.487
Vivid picture of the details leading us up to the final
00:01:44.487 --> 00:01:47.724
Battle known as armageddon.
00:01:47.724 --> 00:01:50.126
But now we've arrived at the moment we've all been
00:01:50.126 --> 00:01:52.395
Waiting for.
00:01:52.395 --> 00:01:53.763
This is the moment in revelation chapter 19, where heaven opens
00:01:53.763 --> 00:01:58.067
Up, and king jesus comes back riding on a white horse.
00:01:58.067 --> 00:02:03.907
Now you may not realize it, yeah, you know what, get a
00:02:03.907 --> 00:02:06.309
Little bit rowdy today, y'all.
00:02:06.309 --> 00:02:09.379
Come on, you may not realize this, but the second coming of
00:02:09.379 --> 00:02:12.549
Jesus is the primary message of the book of revelation.
00:02:12.549 --> 00:02:15.885
A lot of times we read this book and we're thinking this is a
00:02:15.885 --> 00:02:18.154
Book of eschatology or a book of prophecy, but the primary
00:02:18.154 --> 00:02:21.858
Message is the second coming of jesus really from the first
00:02:21.858 --> 00:02:24.661
Chapter to the last.
00:02:24.661 --> 00:02:26.462
In fact, in revelation chapter 1, it says, "look, he is coming
00:02:26.462 --> 00:02:29.699
With the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who
00:02:29.699 --> 00:02:33.903
Pierced him."
00:02:33.903 --> 00:02:35.238
Here's the message, y'all.
00:02:35.238 --> 00:02:36.606
Jesus is coming back.
00:02:36.606 --> 00:02:38.808
He's coming back.
00:02:38.808 --> 00:02:40.543
You know, a few years ago i was standing on the mount of olives,
00:02:40.543 --> 00:02:43.546
Overlooking the beautiful city of jerusalem, and as i stood
00:02:43.546 --> 00:02:47.016
There, i realized that i was standing in the exact same spot
00:02:47.016 --> 00:02:50.253
On the exact same mount of olives, where jesus was standing
00:02:50.253 --> 00:02:54.157
With his disciples when he left this earth and ascended
00:02:54.157 --> 00:02:57.660
Into heaven.
00:02:57.660 --> 00:02:59.028
And when that hit me in that moment, i opened my bible to
00:02:59.028 --> 00:03:02.532
Acts chapter 1 because i wanted to read the text and imagine
00:03:02.532 --> 00:03:05.635
What that scene must have been like myself.
00:03:05.635 --> 00:03:08.671
Verse 9 says: "he was taken up as they were watching, and a
00:03:08.671 --> 00:03:12.075
Cloud took him out of their sight.
00:03:12.075 --> 00:03:14.677
He was--he was going--when he was going, they were gazing into
00:03:14.677 --> 00:03:19.115
Heaven, and suddenly two men in white clothes stood by them.
00:03:19.115 --> 00:03:22.585
They said, 'men of galilee, why do you stand looking up
00:03:22.585 --> 00:03:25.822
Into heaven?
00:03:25.822 --> 00:03:27.156
This same jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will
00:03:27.156 --> 00:03:31.561
Come in the same way that you have seen him going
00:03:31.561 --> 00:03:35.298
Into heaven.'"
00:03:35.298 --> 00:03:36.699
As i read that text, here's what i realized.
00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:39.469
In the same way the disciples watched jesus ascend into
00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:43.539
Heaven, one day the entire world is gonna watch as jesus descends
00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:49.479
From heaven in that exact same spot.
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.548
You know, in revelation chapter 19, john saw that vision.
00:03:52.548 --> 00:03:57.720
He saw that scene play out in the divine vision from god, and
00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:02.058
This is what he said: "then i saw heaven open, and there was
00:04:02.058 --> 00:04:05.728
A white horse.
00:04:05.728 --> 00:04:07.230
Its rider is called faithful and true, and with justice he judges
00:04:07.230 --> 00:04:12.435
And makes war."
00:04:12.435 --> 00:04:13.770
Right away, he says when jesus comes back, it's gonna be very
00:04:13.770 --> 00:04:16.806
Evident who he is.
00:04:16.806 --> 00:04:18.308
He will be called faithful and true.
00:04:18.308 --> 00:04:21.010
Why those words?
00:04:21.010 --> 00:04:22.578
Those words both speak of the character of christ.
00:04:22.578 --> 00:04:25.214
He is faithful.
00:04:25.214 --> 00:04:26.582
Listen, he's a god who not only makes promises, he keeps
00:04:26.582 --> 00:04:29.319
His promises.
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:30.653
In fact, in 2 corinthians 1, it says: "for every one of god's
00:04:30.653 --> 00:04:33.990
Promises is 'yes,'" right?
00:04:33.990 --> 00:04:36.859
He tells the truth and he keeps his word.
00:04:36.859 --> 00:04:39.362
Jesus is faithful, but jesus is also true.
00:04:39.362 --> 00:04:43.299
In fact, when he defined himself, he defined himself as
00:04:43.299 --> 00:04:46.269
The truth.
00:04:46.269 --> 00:04:47.603
"i am the way, i am the," say it with me, "truth."
00:04:47.603 --> 00:04:50.206
He is the truth, and he will always be true.
00:04:50.206 --> 00:04:53.409
So jesus is faithful, jesus is true, but it goes on to say,
00:04:53.409 --> 00:04:57.547
"and with his justice, he judges.
00:04:57.547 --> 00:05:01.117
With his justice, he makes war."
00:05:01.117 --> 00:05:04.854
What does that mean?
00:05:04.854 --> 00:05:06.422
That means when jesus returns, he will no longer represent the
00:05:06.422 --> 00:05:10.993
Meek lamb of god.
00:05:10.993 --> 00:05:13.596
He will then represent the mighty lion of judah.
00:05:13.596 --> 00:05:17.834
You see, he came the first time to bring peace to the earth, but
00:05:17.834 --> 00:05:21.104
The bible says the second time he comes, he will come waging
00:05:21.104 --> 00:05:24.474
War on the earth.
00:05:24.474 --> 00:05:26.175
And the bible says this war will be fought with justice.
00:05:26.175 --> 00:05:30.380
This will be a war desired by the savior, but also deserved by
00:05:30.380 --> 00:05:34.717
The sinner.
00:05:34.717 --> 00:05:36.052
It'll be the final triumph of good over evil and god over
00:05:36.052 --> 00:05:40.390
The devil.
00:05:40.390 --> 00:05:41.724
In fact, when jesus comes back, he will be just in every way he
00:05:41.724 --> 00:05:46.829
Can be just.
00:05:46.829 --> 00:05:48.197
He is faithful, he is true, he is just, and he identifies
00:05:48.197 --> 00:05:52.168
Himself right off the bat.
00:05:52.168 --> 00:05:54.137
In fact, in this passage, you're gonna see the word "name" three
00:05:54.137 --> 00:05:56.873
Different times, name.
00:05:56.873 --> 00:05:58.875
And i find it interesting that as it describes jesus in talking
00:05:58.875 --> 00:06:02.445
About these names, how it gives us a little picture of who
00:06:02.445 --> 00:06:04.947
He is.
00:06:04.947 --> 00:06:06.315
In fact, in this first name we see mystery.
00:06:06.315 --> 00:06:10.052
Look at the verse 12: "his eyes were like a fiery flame and many
00:06:10.052 --> 00:06:14.290
Crowns were on his head.
00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:15.725
He had a name written that no one knows except himself."
00:06:15.725 --> 00:06:20.830
That tells me that i can know a lot about jesus, but i can never
00:06:20.830 --> 00:06:25.168
Know everything about jesus.
00:06:25.168 --> 00:06:26.903
I can know many of the names of jesus, but there are some names
00:06:26.903 --> 00:06:30.273
That i don't know.
00:06:30.273 --> 00:06:31.808
It reminds me that the finite cannot fully comprehend
00:06:31.808 --> 00:06:35.545
The infinite.
00:06:35.545 --> 00:06:36.879
There is mystery with christ, but there's also in the second
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.117
Name, ministry.
00:06:41.117 --> 00:06:42.452
I want you to see that in verse 13.
00:06:42.452 --> 00:06:44.620
It says: "he wore a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called
00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:48.958
The word of god."
00:06:48.958 --> 00:06:50.660
Listen, jesus is the word and that word is a ministry to us.
00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:55.298
You see, words are a form of expression or communication and
00:06:55.298 --> 00:06:59.101
When you look at jesus as the word, he is the full expression
00:06:59.101 --> 00:07:02.505
Of god to us as mankind.
00:07:02.505 --> 00:07:05.041
He tells us everything we need to know about christ, about god,
00:07:05.041 --> 00:07:08.878
About eternity, about salvation, about forgiveness.
00:07:08.878 --> 00:07:12.248
Jesus as the word is a minister to us, and the third name right
00:07:12.248 --> 00:07:17.019
Here, i believe represents majesty.
00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:20.122
Look at verse 16.
00:07:20.122 --> 00:07:21.457
It says: "he has a name written on his robe and on his thigh:
00:07:21.457 --> 00:07:25.728
King of kings and lord of lords."
00:07:25.728 --> 00:07:28.965
When it says that it was written on his robe that speaks of
00:07:28.965 --> 00:07:31.868
His position.
00:07:31.868 --> 00:07:33.402
You put your position on your robe, but when it says that it's
00:07:33.402 --> 00:07:37.106
Written on his thigh, that was a move of power.
00:07:37.106 --> 00:07:40.309
It represented the power of almighty god, and it says that
00:07:40.309 --> 00:07:44.046
He is the king of kings and the lord of lords, the reality of
00:07:44.046 --> 00:07:48.384
His return.
00:07:48.384 --> 00:07:49.819
Hey, but now let's look at the result of his return.
00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:52.788
The result of his return.
00:07:52.788 --> 00:07:54.657
Get this picture in your mind.
00:07:54.657 --> 00:07:56.526
Imagine jesus ascending into the clouds and going to heaven in
00:07:56.526 --> 00:08:00.096
Front of the disciples.
00:08:00.096 --> 00:08:01.597
But now imagine that reverse scene many years later where
00:08:01.597 --> 00:08:04.901
Jesus descends from heaven to that same spot on the mount of
00:08:04.901 --> 00:08:08.571
Olives as the world watches.
00:08:08.571 --> 00:08:10.907
The bible lets us know that when that happens, that jesus will
00:08:10.907 --> 00:08:14.577
Fulfill the prophecy of zechariah chapter 14.
00:08:14.577 --> 00:08:18.414
Long ago this is what zechariah said will happen.
00:08:18.414 --> 00:08:21.384
It says: "on that day his feet will stand on the mount of
00:08:21.384 --> 00:08:24.186
Olives, which face jerusalem on the east.
00:08:24.186 --> 00:08:26.923
The mount of olives will be split in half from east to west,
00:08:26.923 --> 00:08:30.760
Forming a huge valley, so that half the mountain will move to
00:08:30.760 --> 00:08:34.697
The north and half to the south."
00:08:34.697 --> 00:08:38.568
Imagine this scene with me today.
00:08:38.568 --> 00:08:40.736
The heavens are gonna open up and jesus is going to arrive
00:08:40.736 --> 00:08:44.574
Riding on a white horse.
00:08:44.574 --> 00:08:46.442
And his feet will stand on the mount of olives, and then the
00:08:46.442 --> 00:08:50.146
Mountain will split as an earthquake occurs.
00:08:50.146 --> 00:08:53.849
And all of that is in preparation for king jesus to
00:08:53.849 --> 00:08:56.686
Have this one final showdown with the antichrist, with the
00:08:56.686 --> 00:09:00.356
False prophet, and with the greatest army in human history.
00:09:00.356 --> 00:09:04.427
And we're gonna see that scene play out in revelation 19,
00:09:04.427 --> 00:09:07.730
Verse 19.
00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:09.565
He says, "then i saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and
00:09:09.565 --> 00:09:13.302
Their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on
00:09:13.302 --> 00:09:18.507
The horse and against his army."
00:09:18.507 --> 00:09:21.711
So in this moment there's a battle that's happening, and the
00:09:21.711 --> 00:09:24.480
Devil's gonna unleash everything in his arsenal, including the
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.984
Largest army ever assembled.
00:09:27.984 --> 00:09:30.019
The bible tells us that that army will consist of over 200
00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:33.222
Million soldiers that are trained and prepared to do
00:09:33.222 --> 00:09:36.492
Battle against almighty god.
00:09:36.492 --> 00:09:39.795
Every time i read that, i just think to myself, how dumb are
00:09:39.795 --> 00:09:42.698
Human beings, right?
00:09:42.698 --> 00:09:44.367
How dumb can you be to think, "oh yeah, me and all my buddies,
00:09:44.367 --> 00:09:47.269
All 200 million of us, we're gonna face off against an
00:09:47.269 --> 00:09:50.139
Omnipotent god, and we think that we're going to succeed."
00:09:50.139 --> 00:09:53.676
I'm like, that is the most ridiculous thought process i've
00:09:53.676 --> 00:09:57.079
Ever read about, but then i'm reminded that we, right now,
00:09:57.079 --> 00:10:02.318
Have that same mindset so many times.
00:10:02.318 --> 00:10:05.287
We decide in our day-to-day lives, like, we're gonna battle
00:10:05.287 --> 00:10:08.224
Against god or we're gonna fight against his will or we're gonna
00:10:08.224 --> 00:10:10.793
Wrestle with the lord about being obedient in this area or
00:10:10.793 --> 00:10:14.397
Sacrificing in that area.
00:10:14.397 --> 00:10:15.831
There's so many times we try to do battle with the lord.
00:10:15.831 --> 00:10:19.568
Hey, let me tell you something, you ready?
00:10:19.568 --> 00:10:21.671
God wins 100% of his battles.
00:10:21.671 --> 00:10:26.342
You don't stand a chance if you're doing battle against
00:10:24.273 --> 00:10:29.278
The lord.
00:10:29.278 --> 00:10:30.613
He's gonna win.
00:10:30.613 --> 00:10:31.947
In fact, not only is he gonna win the battles of our lives,
00:10:31.947 --> 00:10:34.050
He's gonna win this final battle that john speaks of here in
00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:37.953
Revelation chapter 19, a battle against the antichrist and the
00:10:37.953 --> 00:10:42.324
False prophet and all the evil people in the world.
00:10:42.324 --> 00:10:46.896
He's gonna show us in the next couple of verses how this
00:10:46.896 --> 00:10:49.532
Victory is gonna happen, and i'm gonna break this into three
00:10:49.532 --> 00:10:52.568
Different stages if you're taking notes today.
00:10:52.568 --> 00:10:55.004
The first stage is the enemy will be devoured.
00:10:55.004 --> 00:10:58.340
Be devoured.
00:10:58.340 --> 00:10:59.675
We see that in verse 17: "then i saw an angel standing in the
00:10:59.675 --> 00:11:02.912
Sun, and he called out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds
00:11:02.912 --> 00:11:08.117
Flying overhead, 'come, gather together for the great supper of
00:11:08.117 --> 00:11:13.389
God so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of
00:11:13.389 --> 00:11:17.693
Military commanders, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of
00:11:17.693 --> 00:11:21.397
Horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both
00:11:21.397 --> 00:11:25.334
Slave and free, small and great.'"
00:11:25.334 --> 00:11:28.804
The bible says there's coming a day when all the birds of the
00:11:28.804 --> 00:11:32.641
Air are going to come together circling, and they're going to
00:11:32.641 --> 00:11:36.612
Feast on the carcasses of those who are defeated by the lord.
00:11:36.612 --> 00:11:42.184
When you read that, you can't help but think about what jesus
00:11:42.184 --> 00:11:44.487
Said in matthew 24.
00:11:44.487 --> 00:11:46.589
He said, "wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will
00:11:46.589 --> 00:11:51.260
Gather," and yet here we are at the back of the book and we see
00:11:51.260 --> 00:11:56.265
The vultures devouring the enemy.
00:11:56.265 --> 00:12:00.369
So get this, in the end, the enemy will be devoured, but not
00:12:00.369 --> 00:12:05.241
Only devoured.
00:12:05.241 --> 00:12:06.609
The enemy will also be detained.
00:12:06.609 --> 00:12:08.377
He'll be detained.
00:12:08.377 --> 00:12:09.712
Check it out in verse 20.
00:12:09.712 --> 00:12:11.080
It says: "but the beast was taken prisoner, and along with
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.517
It the false prophet, who had performed the signs in
00:12:14.517 --> 00:12:18.621
Its presence.
00:12:18.621 --> 00:12:19.955
He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those
00:12:19.955 --> 00:12:22.358
Who worshiped its image with the signs.
00:12:22.358 --> 00:12:25.027
Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns
00:12:25.027 --> 00:12:29.665
With sulfur."
00:12:29.665 --> 00:12:31.000
And so, get this.
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.368
You got the birds eating all the people, and now you've got this
00:12:32.368 --> 00:12:35.171
Picture of god's justice against evil.
00:12:35.171 --> 00:12:38.474
Jesus is going to take the antichrist who we've
00:12:38.474 --> 00:12:41.577
Talked about.
00:12:41.577 --> 00:12:42.912
He's gonna take the false prophet, as we've talked about.
00:12:42.912 --> 00:12:45.347
And he's gonna take both of them as prisoners, and then these
00:12:45.347 --> 00:12:49.151
Prisoners are going to be thrown by god alive into the lake
00:12:49.151 --> 00:12:54.523
Of fire.
00:12:54.523 --> 00:12:55.858
Now, do you know what the lake of fire is?
00:12:55.858 --> 00:12:58.327
That's hell.
00:12:58.327 --> 00:12:59.662
It's hell.
00:12:59.662 --> 00:13:01.030
By the way, these are the first two beings in the bible to be
00:13:01.030 --> 00:13:04.433
Cast into hell.
00:13:04.433 --> 00:13:06.335
This verse reminds us that hell wasn't prepared for sinners,
00:13:06.335 --> 00:13:09.572
It was prepared for them.
00:13:09.572 --> 00:13:11.207
It was prepared for the devil and his demons and all of his
00:13:11.207 --> 00:13:15.010
Different minions.
00:13:15.010 --> 00:13:16.345
It wasn't prepared for us, and yet that's where we'll go if we
00:13:16.345 --> 00:13:19.849
Don't do business with the lord.
00:13:19.849 --> 00:13:22.017
The bible says that the enemy will be detained.
00:13:22.017 --> 00:13:24.620
In fact, i'll say the enemies will be detained, but the third
00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.823
Thing is the enemy will be destroyed.
00:13:27.823 --> 00:13:30.292
The enemy will be destroyed.
00:13:30.292 --> 00:13:31.660
Verse 21 says: "the rest were killed with the sword that came
00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:35.698
From the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds ate
00:13:35.698 --> 00:13:40.302
Their fill of their flesh."
00:13:40.302 --> 00:13:43.339
Let me summarize this for us today.
00:13:43.339 --> 00:13:45.674
Those who rise up against the lord will be destroyed.
00:13:45.674 --> 00:13:53.082
Normally in war, the general watches the army fight
00:13:50.079 --> 00:13:56.352
The battle.
00:13:56.352 --> 00:13:57.720
The general sits back on the hill.
00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.188
He watches the army do battle, but not this time.
00:13:59.188 --> 00:14:02.791
Listen, when jesus returns, he, as our general, will fight
00:14:02.791 --> 00:14:06.962
Against the enemies, and jesus alone will claim the victory as
00:14:06.962 --> 00:14:10.799
His army sits back on the hill and watches king jesus do what
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.670
Only king jesus can do.
00:14:14.670 --> 00:14:17.072
Get this today: when jesus returns, he will be victorious,
00:14:17.072 --> 00:14:21.110
And his victory will eliminate all depravity.
00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:25.814
Hey, i want you to use your imagination with me today.
00:14:25.814 --> 00:14:28.817
I want you to try to imagine a world where all the bad stuff
00:14:28.817 --> 00:14:31.687
Has gone.
00:14:31.687 --> 00:14:33.389
Imagine a world where there's no more murders, no more robberies,
00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:38.494
No more rape, no more crime.
00:14:38.494 --> 00:14:40.963
Imagine a world where there's no more lying or stealing.
00:14:40.963 --> 00:14:43.232
It's hard to imagine a world like that, isn't it?
00:14:43.232 --> 00:14:46.468
Because we live in this jacked-up world and we see the
00:14:46.468 --> 00:14:49.104
Garbage every single day.
00:14:49.104 --> 00:14:51.073
But imagine a world where there's no more storms, no more
00:14:51.073 --> 00:14:53.842
Floods, no more natural disasters or famines of
00:14:53.842 --> 00:14:57.313
Any kind.
00:14:57.313 --> 00:14:58.714
Imagine a world where there's no more diseases, no more cancer,
00:14:58.714 --> 00:15:01.984
No more mental illnesses, no need for doctors or nurses or
00:15:01.984 --> 00:15:06.088
Medicines of any kind because now we live in a world where
00:15:06.088 --> 00:15:09.725
Everybody is perfectly and permanently healthy.
00:15:09.725 --> 00:15:12.795
Can you just imagine that?
00:15:12.795 --> 00:15:14.496
Imagine a world where you wake up and you don't ache and you
00:15:14.496 --> 00:15:16.966
Don't have to take advil with your coffee.
00:15:16.966 --> 00:15:21.136
Imagine a world where there's no more death and no more
00:15:21.136 --> 00:15:23.238
Cemeteries, no tombstones or caskets, no funeral homes at
00:15:23.238 --> 00:15:26.976
All, no more weeping or wailing over the loss of a loved one.
00:15:26.976 --> 00:15:31.080
I mean, just imagine a world where the lion and the lamb and
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.050
The calf and the wolf are lying down peacefully together in
00:15:35.050 --> 00:15:39.221
Absolute harmony.
00:15:39.221 --> 00:15:42.091
I want you to take a second today and imagine a world
00:15:42.091 --> 00:15:45.361
Without a devil.
00:15:45.361 --> 00:15:47.162
Because the devil has been removed.
00:15:47.162 --> 00:15:49.932
Imagine a world with no more evil because the evil one has
00:15:49.932 --> 00:15:53.869
Been penned up.
00:15:53.869 --> 00:15:55.237
Imagine a world with no more temptation at all because the
00:15:55.237 --> 00:15:58.774
Tempter has been kicked to the curb.
00:15:58.774 --> 00:16:00.776
Can you imagine what that's gonna be like?
00:16:00.776 --> 00:16:03.779
You say, "jordan, what you're describing today sounds like
00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:05.881
An absolute utopia."
00:16:05.881 --> 00:16:08.183
No, it's better than that, y'all.
00:16:08.183 --> 00:16:10.285
What i'm describing today is the millennial reign of king jesus,
00:16:10.285 --> 00:16:14.156
The millennial reign of jesus christ.
00:16:14.156 --> 00:16:17.760
You see, 3000 years ago, the prophet daniel made
00:16:17.760 --> 00:16:21.563
Two predictions.
00:16:21.563 --> 00:16:23.098
The first prediction was this, that the king is coming.
00:16:23.098 --> 00:16:26.568
He told us 3000 years ago in daniel 7:13, he said, "i
00:16:26.568 --> 00:16:30.439
Continued watching in the night visions, and suddenly one like a
00:16:30.439 --> 00:16:35.010
Son of man was coming with the clouds of heaven."
00:16:35.010 --> 00:16:38.614
He said a king is coming, but he went on in the next verse to
00:16:38.614 --> 00:16:42.451
Give us a second prediction, and that was this: not only is a
00:16:42.451 --> 00:16:44.920
King coming, but a kingdom is coming.
00:16:44.920 --> 00:16:48.590
In verse 14: "he was given dominion and glory and
00:16:48.590 --> 00:16:51.627
A kingdom, so that those of every people, nation, and
00:16:51.627 --> 00:16:56.265
Language should serve him.
00:16:56.265 --> 00:16:58.033
His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass
00:16:58.033 --> 00:17:02.204
Away, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed."
00:17:02.204 --> 00:17:07.743
Now there are a lot of interpretations of what daniel
00:17:07.743 --> 00:17:10.579
Is talking about here, but i believe this speaks of a literal
00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:14.249
Kingdom with jesus christ serving as the literal king.
00:17:14.249 --> 00:17:19.521
When jesus returns, i believe this says that he will establish
00:17:19.521 --> 00:17:23.559
His millennial kingdom where he will rule and where he will
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:27.029
Reign for 1000 years.
00:17:27.029 --> 00:17:29.865
Chapter 20 gives us a vivid description and depiction of
00:17:29.865 --> 00:17:33.969
What that's gonna look like at every single stage of these
00:17:33.969 --> 00:17:37.439
1000 years.
00:17:37.439 --> 00:17:38.774
Today, i'm gonna outline it by giving you four different things
00:17:38.774 --> 00:17:41.343
From chapter 20.
00:17:41.343 --> 00:17:42.711
And the very first thing you see in chapter 20 is that satan
00:17:42.711 --> 00:17:47.616
Will be removed.
00:17:47.616 --> 00:17:48.984
But you know what, there's never gonna be a day where my soul is
00:17:48.984 --> 00:17:52.788
Removed from my god.
00:17:52.788 --> 00:17:54.723
Because of my second birth, i will never die a second time.
00:17:54.723 --> 00:17:59.828
Verse 6: "blessed and holy is the one who shares in the
00:17:59.828 --> 00:18:03.565
First resurrection!
00:18:03.565 --> 00:18:05.134
The second death has no power over them, but they will be
00:18:05.134 --> 00:18:08.504
Priests of god and of christ, and they will reign with him for
00:18:08.504 --> 00:18:13.942
A thousand years."
00:18:13.942 --> 00:18:15.944
The bible says satan will be removed, the saints will reign,
00:18:15.944 --> 00:18:20.716
And the third part of this is that satan will be released.
00:18:20.716 --> 00:18:24.887
Satan will be released.
00:18:24.887 --> 00:18:26.221
Verse 3 says: "after that," after he is thrown into the
00:18:26.221 --> 00:18:29.491
Abyss and held for 1000 years, "after that, he must be released
00:18:29.491 --> 00:18:35.464
For a short time."
00:18:35.464 --> 00:18:37.232
I don't understand it, but the bible says at the end of the
00:18:37.232 --> 00:18:40.169
Millennial reign of christ, there's gonna be this one final
00:18:40.169 --> 00:18:43.038
Confrontation between sinners and the savior, one final battle
00:18:43.038 --> 00:18:48.043
Between good and evil.
00:18:48.043 --> 00:18:49.945
1 peter 5:8 tells us: "your adversary the devil is prowling
00:18:49.945 --> 00:18:53.982
Around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he
00:18:53.982 --> 00:18:56.985
Can devour."
00:18:56.985 --> 00:18:58.353
And yet for 1000 years that lion's gonna be caged up in
00:18:58.353 --> 00:19:01.523
Solitary confinement.
00:19:01.523 --> 00:19:03.458
But then the bible says, all of a sudden, the doors to his cage
00:19:03.458 --> 00:19:07.262
Are gonna be open and the devil's gonna leap out with the
00:19:07.262 --> 00:19:10.265
Singular mission of deceiving the nations one more time.
00:19:10.265 --> 00:19:14.970
You say, "jordan, why in the world would god choose to
00:19:14.970 --> 00:19:17.506
Release the devil one more time?
00:19:17.506 --> 00:19:19.641
Why would he let him out of that cage after penning him up for
00:19:19.641 --> 00:19:23.145
1000 years?"
00:19:23.145 --> 00:19:24.479
Have you ever wondered that?
00:19:24.479 --> 00:19:25.814
Hey, let me give you the answer in five simple words.
00:19:25.814 --> 00:19:27.516
You ready? i ain't got a clue.
00:19:27.516 --> 00:19:29.885
There's the answer.
00:19:29.885 --> 00:19:31.253
I have no idea.
00:19:31.253 --> 00:19:32.588
Man, i've read this.
00:19:32.588 --> 00:19:33.922
I'm like, why in the world would god choose to release the devil
00:19:33.922 --> 00:19:37.092
One more time?
00:19:37.092 --> 00:19:39.061
And yet i'm reminded in deuteronomy 29 that the hidden
00:19:39.061 --> 00:19:41.763
Things belong to the lord our god.
00:19:41.763 --> 00:19:43.865
I just think that's one of the things that we will never know
00:19:43.865 --> 00:19:45.867
The answer to, but released he will be at the conclusion of the
00:19:45.867 --> 00:19:51.807
Millennial reign.
00:19:51.807 --> 00:19:53.175
And verse 8 tells us that "he will go out to deceive the
00:19:53.175 --> 00:19:56.878
Nations at the four corners of the earth, gog and magog, to
00:19:56.878 --> 00:20:01.049
Gather them for battle.
00:20:01.049 --> 00:20:02.851
Their number is like the sand of the sea.
00:20:02.851 --> 00:20:06.355
They came up across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the
00:20:06.355 --> 00:20:09.625
Encampment of the saints, the beloved city."
00:20:09.625 --> 00:20:13.996
It's crazy to me that, after 1000 years, the devil
00:20:13.996 --> 00:20:18.467
Immediately picks right back up where he left off.
00:20:18.467 --> 00:20:21.637
And he starts running the same plays that he's always run and
00:20:21.637 --> 00:20:25.440
The bible tells us he will deceive the nations and mankind
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:30.178
Will fall for his same tricks all over again.
00:20:30.178 --> 00:20:34.950
It says that their number, the number of people aligning with
00:20:34.950 --> 00:20:38.387
The devil will be like the sand on the beach.
00:20:38.387 --> 00:20:43.458
I don't get it.
00:20:43.458 --> 00:20:45.494
Listen, for 1000 years, everyone will obey the lord.
00:20:45.494 --> 00:20:49.298
Think about that.
00:20:49.298 --> 00:20:50.732
They will obey the lord because they have to.
00:20:50.732 --> 00:20:53.268
There won't be an evil option because all sorts of evil will
00:20:53.268 --> 00:20:57.039
Be locked up.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.507
But then what happens next?
00:20:58.507 --> 00:21:00.442
He releases the devil and now, all of a sudden, evil becomes
00:21:00.442 --> 00:21:03.979
An option for people again, and how do they respond once the
00:21:03.979 --> 00:21:07.416
Devil is released?
00:21:07.416 --> 00:21:08.784
The bible says, people choose to align with the devil.
00:21:08.784 --> 00:21:12.988
People who were born and raised in a perfect world, people that
00:21:12.988 --> 00:21:16.491
Were serving a perfect god and experiencing nothing short of
00:21:16.491 --> 00:21:20.362
Perfection, are still gonna choose to settle for less
00:21:20.362 --> 00:21:23.865
Than him.
00:21:23.865 --> 00:21:25.233
They're gonna choose to partner with people in the world,
00:21:25.233 --> 00:21:27.769
They're gonna choose to turn their backs on jesus.
00:21:27.769 --> 00:21:30.238
They're gonna choose to wage war against almighty god.
00:21:30.238 --> 00:21:35.010
And here they are, they're lining up shoulder to shoulder.
00:21:35.010 --> 00:21:38.780
Lining up with all the evil in the world, and they are waging
00:21:38.780 --> 00:21:41.783
War against him.
00:21:41.783 --> 00:21:44.686
But you know what the bible says?
00:21:44.686 --> 00:21:46.655
The war is gonna be over before the first shot is shot.
00:21:46.655 --> 00:21:51.093
And you know what's gonna happen next?
00:21:51.093 --> 00:21:52.527
The savior is gonna get his revenge.
00:21:52.527 --> 00:21:55.364
How's this gonna play out?
00:21:55.364 --> 00:21:57.399
Two different things i want you to see in these final texts.
00:21:57.399 --> 00:22:00.469
The devil's army will finally be defeated.
00:22:00.469 --> 00:22:03.338
After all that, the devil's army will be defeated.
00:22:03.338 --> 00:22:06.308
Verse 9 says: "then fire came down from heaven and
00:22:06.308 --> 00:22:09.778
Consumed them."
00:22:09.778 --> 00:22:11.146
Hey, not a single shot, but in an instant, the judgment of god
00:22:11.146 --> 00:22:15.817
Will be experienced by every member of the devil's demonic
00:22:15.817 --> 00:22:19.354
Army, and they will be incinerated by the blowtorch of
00:22:19.354 --> 00:22:23.892
God's breath.
00:22:23.892 --> 00:22:25.260
Did you see it?
00:22:25.260 --> 00:22:26.595
He said it will completely consume every evil person that
00:22:26.595 --> 00:22:30.298
Aligns with the devil.
00:22:30.298 --> 00:22:32.367
But not only will the devil's army be defeated, here's the
00:22:32.367 --> 00:22:35.604
Best part of the message, y'all, the devil will finally be
00:22:35.604 --> 00:22:38.607
Destroyed, hallelujah.
00:22:38.607 --> 00:22:40.108
Somebody scream, right?
00:22:40.108 --> 00:22:41.443
Come on.
00:22:41.443 --> 00:22:43.044
That's the biggest part of the whole thing.
00:22:43.044 --> 00:22:45.147
Verse 9 or verse 10: "the devil who deceived them was thrown
00:22:45.147 --> 00:22:48.850
Into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false
00:22:48.850 --> 00:22:52.454
Prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night forever
00:22:52.454 --> 00:22:56.825
And ever."
00:22:56.825 --> 00:22:58.193
I'm like, finally, finally, this is the moment we've all been
00:22:58.193 --> 00:23:02.731
Waiting for where once and for all the devil gets his due.
00:23:02.731 --> 00:23:07.369
And that lake of fire and that burning hell that was prepared
00:23:07.369 --> 00:23:11.273
By god for the devil and his angels will finally become his
00:23:11.273 --> 00:23:15.844
Eternal home, where he will be tormented alongside the beast
00:23:15.844 --> 00:23:20.081
And the false prophet, and they will be tormented day and night
00:23:20.081 --> 00:23:23.785
Forever and ever.
00:23:23.785 --> 00:23:26.588
Hey, the verdict was rendered for the devil 2000 years ago on
00:23:26.588 --> 00:23:30.826
The cross at calvary.
00:23:30.826 --> 00:23:32.694
But the sentence is yet to be executed.
00:23:32.694 --> 00:23:35.630
But you know what the bible says?
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:37.466
The bible says that day is coming.
00:23:37.466 --> 00:23:39.734
And the devil will finally be destroyed.
00:23:39.734 --> 00:23:43.839
Let me just tell you something.
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:45.674
The same jesus that had victory over sin and the grave, the same
00:23:45.674 --> 00:23:50.145
Jesus that we just read about, that's waving the flag of
00:23:50.145 --> 00:23:54.082
Victory at the end of the day, is the same jesus who makes
00:23:54.082 --> 00:23:58.753
Himself available to you so that you can experience
00:23:58.753 --> 00:24:02.157
Victory today.
00:24:02.157 --> 00:24:04.359
You can know him and be a part of that first resurrection.
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.796
You can surrender your life to him and be saved and forgiven.
00:24:07.796 --> 00:24:11.333
Jesus can change your life today.
00:24:11.333 --> 00:24:15.370
The question is, will you let him?
00:24:15.370 --> 00:24:18.807
Would you bow your heads and close your eyes?
00:24:18.807 --> 00:24:20.408
Listen, you may be here today saying, "pastor, i don't want to
00:24:20.408 --> 00:24:22.511
Be a part of the second death.
00:24:22.511 --> 00:24:25.280
I want to be born a second time so i only have to die once.
00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:27.916
I don't want my soul to be removed from god.
00:24:27.916 --> 00:24:29.885
I want to live with him forever."
00:24:29.885 --> 00:24:32.587
If that's you today, would you just pray a prayer of salvation
00:24:32.587 --> 00:24:36.458
And ask jesus to do what only he can do?
00:24:36.458 --> 00:24:38.994
Say, "jesus, i know that i need you to be saved.
00:24:38.994 --> 00:24:41.997
I can't save myself.
00:24:41.997 --> 00:24:44.165

00:24:44.165 --> 00:24:48.036
