00:01:25.231 --> 00:01:31.538
TWO DAYS AFTER ADOLF HITLER BECAME
00:01:31.538 --> 00:01:33.873
CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY IN 1933,
00:01:33.873 --> 00:01:38.077
A 26-YEAR-OLD PASTOR AND THEOLOGIAN WENT ON THE RADIO
00:01:38.077 --> 00:01:43.016
TO DENOUNCE ADOLF HITLER AND HIS POLICIES.
00:01:43.016 --> 00:01:47.120
THAT PASTOR THEOLOGIAN WAS NAMED DIETRICH BONHOEFFER.
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:53.293
BONHOEFFER WAS TROUBLED BY A NUMBER OF THINGS
00:01:53.293 --> 00:01:55.562
HE SAW HAPPENING.
00:01:55.562 --> 00:01:57.564
THE MARGINALIZATION OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
00:01:57.564 --> 00:02:00.166
LONG BEFORE THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE CREMATORIUMS.
00:02:00.166 --> 00:02:03.970
HE SAW HOW THE GERMAN CHURCH BEGAN
00:02:03.970 --> 00:02:06.372
TO SURRENDER TO THE NAZIS,
00:02:06.372 --> 00:02:09.642
EVEN BECOMING KNOWN NOW AS THE NATIONAL REICH CHURCH.
00:02:09.642 --> 00:02:14.380
THE CHURCH BEGAN TO OBEY GODLESS EDICTS FROM THE NAZIS
00:02:14.380 --> 00:02:18.351
SUCH AS "ON THE ALTARS, THERE MUST BE NOTHING
00:02:18.351 --> 00:02:23.156
BUT A COPY OF 'MEIN KAMPF,'"
00:02:23.156 --> 00:02:25.692
HITLER'S BOOK, THE BIBLE OF NAZISM.
00:02:25.692 --> 00:02:29.229
"THERE SHALL BE NOTHING BUT 'MEIN KAMPF'
00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:33.032
AND TO THE LEFT OF THE ALTAR, A SWORD."
00:02:33.032 --> 00:02:36.469
OR ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR RULES,
00:02:36.469 --> 00:02:38.504
"THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH AND THE CHRISTIAN CROSS MUST BE
00:02:38.504 --> 00:02:42.875
REMOVED FROM ALL CHURCHES, CATHEDRALS, AND CHAPELS."
00:02:42.875 --> 00:02:47.347
CAN YOU IMAGINE SUCH A THING?
00:02:47.347 --> 00:02:49.382
"THE CROSS MUST BE REMOVED FROM ALL CHURCHES,
00:02:49.382 --> 00:02:52.452
CATHEDRALS, AND CHAPELS, AND IT MUST BE SUPERSEDED
00:02:52.452 --> 00:02:56.322
BY THE ONLY UNCONQUERABLE SYMBOL, THE SWASTIKA."
00:02:56.322 --> 00:03:02.362
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER COULDN'T STAND
00:03:02.362 --> 00:03:04.163
TO SEE BIBLES BEING REPLACED WITH "MEIN KAMPF"
00:03:04.163 --> 00:03:07.433
OR CROSSES WITH SWASTIKAS,
00:03:07.433 --> 00:03:10.403
AND SO HE LEFT THE GERMAN CHURCH
00:03:10.403 --> 00:03:13.106
AND ESTABLISHED HIS OWN CHURCH,
00:03:13.106 --> 00:03:15.108
THE CONFESSING CHURCH BUILT ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SCRIPTURE
00:03:15.108 --> 00:03:18.711
AND OBEYING GOD UNCONDITIONALLY.
00:03:18.711 --> 00:03:21.581
A GROUP OF SEMINARIANS AND PASTORS FOLLOWED BONHOEFFER
00:03:21.581 --> 00:03:25.818
AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CONFESSING CHURCH.
00:03:25.818 --> 00:03:28.755
BUT SOON WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAW
00:03:28.755 --> 00:03:31.424
THAT IT WAS A THREAT TO NAZISM,
00:03:31.424 --> 00:03:34.394
ADOLF HITLER ORDERED PASTORS OF THE CONFESSING CHURCH TO BE
00:03:34.394 --> 00:03:38.931
DENIED CHAPLAINCIES AND INSTEAD BE PLACED
00:03:38.931 --> 00:03:41.801
ON THE FRONT LINES OF BATTLE IN WORLD WAR II.
00:03:41.801 --> 00:03:45.872
STARVED OF PASTORAL LEADERSHIP,
00:03:45.872 --> 00:03:47.774
THE CONFESSING CHURCH FADED AWAY.
00:03:47.774 --> 00:03:51.644
BY THIS TIME, DIETRICH BONHOEFFER DECIDED
00:03:51.644 --> 00:03:54.347
THAT HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING RADICAL
00:03:54.347 --> 00:03:56.649
TO STAND UP AGAINST EVIL.
00:03:56.649 --> 00:03:59.419
AND SO HE JOINED THE GERMAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AS A SPY,
00:03:59.419 --> 00:04:05.692
BUT ACTUALLY HE WAS WORKING AS A DOUBLE AGENT
00:04:05.692 --> 00:04:08.728
TO UNDERMINE THE COMMANDS OF THE THIRD REICH.
00:04:08.728 --> 00:04:11.497
AND HE EVEN INVOLVED HIMSELF IN AN ASSASSINATION PLOT
00:04:11.497 --> 00:04:15.468
TO REMOVE ADOLF HITLER FROM OFFICE.
00:04:15.468 --> 00:04:19.505
MANY PEOPLE WERE CRITICAL OF DIETRICH BONHOEFFER.
00:04:19.505 --> 00:04:22.642
MANY CHRISTIANS WERE CRITICAL OF HIM.
00:04:22.642 --> 00:04:26.312
THEY SAID, "WHY ARE YOU SO CONCERNED WITH POLITICS
00:04:26.312 --> 00:04:29.048
AND WHO IS LEADING OUR NATION?
00:04:29.048 --> 00:04:31.651
JUST, JUST RESIGN YOURSELF TO PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
00:04:31.651 --> 00:04:38.091
THAT'S WHAT CHRISTIANS ARE TO DO, PREACH THE GOSPEL
00:04:38.091 --> 00:04:39.892
AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF."
00:04:39.892 --> 00:04:43.996
SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?
00:04:43.996 --> 00:04:47.233
BONHOEFFER UNDERSTOOD THAT LEADERS DETERMINE POLICIES
00:04:47.233 --> 00:04:53.106
AND POLICIES DETERMINE THE MORAL
00:04:53.106 --> 00:04:55.007
AND SPIRITUAL DIRECTION OF A NATION.
00:04:55.007 --> 00:04:59.112
10 YEARS LATER AFTER ADOLF HITLER BECAME
00:04:59.112 --> 00:05:03.549
CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY,
00:05:03.549 --> 00:05:05.284
ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ASSUMING
00:05:05.284 --> 00:05:07.587
THAT POSITION IN 1943,
00:05:07.587 --> 00:05:11.524
BONHOEFFER EXPLAINED WHY HE TOOK SUCH RADICAL ACTIONS
00:05:11.524 --> 00:05:16.496
IN AN ESSAY TITLED "AFTER TEN YEARS."
00:05:16.496 --> 00:05:20.400
LISTEN TO HIS WORDS.
00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:22.735
"WHO STANDS FAST?
00:05:22.735 --> 00:05:27.340
ONLY THE MAN WHOSE FINAL STANDARD IS NOT HIS REASON,
00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:31.310
HIS PRINCIPLES, HIS CONSCIENCE, HIS FREEDOM, OR HIS VIRTUE,
00:05:31.310 --> 00:05:37.517
BUT THE MAN WHO IS READY TO SACRIFICE ALL OF THIS
00:05:37.517 --> 00:05:40.286
WHEN HE IS CALLED TO OBEDIENT
00:05:40.286 --> 00:05:42.522
AND RESPONSIBLE ACTION IN FAITH
00:05:42.522 --> 00:05:45.625
AND IN EXCLUSIVE ALLEGIANCE TO GOD.
00:05:45.625 --> 00:05:49.595
THE RESPONSIBLE MAN WHO TRIES TO MAKE HIS WHOLE LIFE
00:05:49.595 --> 00:05:53.466
AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION AND THE CALL OF GOD.
00:05:53.466 --> 00:05:57.737
WHERE ARE THESE RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE?"
00:05:57.737 --> 00:06:02.275
I THOUGHT OF THOSE WORDS, "WHO STANDS FAST."
00:06:02.275 --> 00:06:08.614
I THOUGHT OF THOSE WORDS AS I PREPARED THE MESSAGE TODAY
00:06:08.614 --> 00:06:11.884
AND REMEMBERED HOW SIMILAR THOSE WORDS ARE
00:06:11.884 --> 00:06:15.421
TO THE KINGS AND COMMANDERS OF THE EARTH
00:06:15.421 --> 00:06:17.590
DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION
00:06:17.590 --> 00:06:19.592
WHO AFTER EXPERIENCING THESE HORRIFIC JUDGMENTS,
00:06:19.592 --> 00:06:22.295
REMEMBER WHAT WE SAW LAST TIME,
00:06:22.295 --> 00:06:24.230
THEY CRY OUT TO THE ROCKS AND THE MOUNTAINS
00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:26.699
AND THEY SAY, "FALL ON US
00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:28.501
AND HIDE US FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE ONE
00:06:28.501 --> 00:06:31.204
WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB
00:06:31.204 --> 00:06:35.408
FOR THE DAY OF GOD'S WRATH HAS COME
00:06:35.408 --> 00:06:38.244
AND WHO IS ABLE TO STAND?"
00:06:38.244 --> 00:06:43.149
WHO IS IT THAT STANDS FAST DURING TIMES OF PERSECUTION
00:06:43.149 --> 00:06:47.386
LIKE DIETRICH BONHOEFFER DID?
00:06:47.386 --> 00:06:49.822
WHO IS IT THAT WILL BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND
00:06:49.822 --> 00:06:53.292
THE WRATH OF THE LAMB IN THE JUDGMENT DAY OF GOD?
00:06:53.292 --> 00:06:57.463
WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION TODAY IN REVELATION 7.
00:06:57.463 --> 00:07:02.468
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES, TURN THERE
00:07:02.468 --> 00:07:04.303
AS WE LOOK AT THE GREATEST REVIVAL
00:07:04.303 --> 00:07:07.507
IN HUMAN HISTORY, REVELATION 7.
00:07:07.507 --> 00:07:12.612
JOHN IS GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION
00:07:12.612 --> 00:07:14.547
WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STAND THROUGH THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
00:07:14.547 --> 00:07:20.987
NOW REMEMBER WHERE WE ARE IN OUR STUDY OF REVELATION.
00:07:20.987 --> 00:07:22.922
THE CHURCH HAS ALREADY BEEN RAPTURED.
00:07:22.922 --> 00:07:25.191
IT'S IN HEAVEN, THE 24 ELDERS WITH GOD WORSHIPING.
00:07:25.191 --> 00:07:29.695
AND NOW WE SEE THE BEGINNING
00:07:29.695 --> 00:07:32.298
OF THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS OF EARTH'S HISTORY
00:07:32.298 --> 00:07:34.867
WHEN GOD POURS OUT HIS WRATH ON MANKIND
00:07:34.867 --> 00:07:37.970
IN ORDER TO SAVE THE ELECT AND CONDEMNED THE UNBELIEVERS.
00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:44.143
AND THIS IS THE FINAL SEVEN YEARS
00:07:44.143 --> 00:07:45.811
THAT BEGINS WITH THE RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST
00:07:45.811 --> 00:07:48.714
NOT BY FORCE, BUT ON A PROMISE OF PEACE AND SAFETY.
00:07:48.714 --> 00:07:53.419
AND WE SEE IN REVELATION 6
00:07:53.419 --> 00:07:56.455
SIX OF THOSE SEVEN SEAL JUDGMENTS.
00:07:56.455 --> 00:07:59.325
REMEMBER, THERE ARE THREE SERIES OF JUDGMENTS,
00:07:59.325 --> 00:08:01.227
THE SEAL JUDGMENTS, REVELATION 6,
00:08:01.227 --> 00:08:03.763
THE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS, REVELATION 8-9,
00:08:03.763 --> 00:08:06.365
AND THE BOWL JUDGMENTS IN REVELATION 16.
00:08:06.365 --> 00:08:09.302
WHEN WE GO THROUGH REVELATION 6,
00:08:09.302 --> 00:08:11.103
WE SEE SIX OF THOSE SEALS BROKEN.
00:08:11.103 --> 00:08:14.073
BUT THEN THERE IS A PAUSE BEFORE THE SEVENTH SEAL
00:08:14.073 --> 00:08:18.444
AND THE BEGINNING OF THE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS.
00:08:18.444 --> 00:08:20.680
THIS IS SO KEY TO UNDERSTAND THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.716
I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE BOOK TILL I UNDERSTOOD THIS.
00:08:23.716 --> 00:08:26.619
THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS NOT CHRONOLOGICAL ALL OF THE TIME.
00:08:26.619 --> 00:08:31.157
FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE MOVING TOWARD THE TRIBULATION,
00:08:31.157 --> 00:08:34.827
THROUGH THE TRIBULATION UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST,
00:08:34.827 --> 00:08:37.697
BUT OCCASIONALLY IN REVELATION JOHN PUTS ON THE BRAKES.
00:08:37.697 --> 00:08:41.601
HE SAYS, "NO, WAIT A MOMENT.
00:08:41.601 --> 00:08:43.069
WE'RE GOING TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT IN TIME,
00:08:43.069 --> 00:08:45.237
AND THERE'S ANOTHER ASPECT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
00:08:45.237 --> 00:08:48.007
AND EXPLAIN TO YOU."
00:08:48.007 --> 00:08:49.241
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN REVELATION 7.
00:08:49.241 --> 00:08:52.178
WE'VE ALMOST GOT THROUGH THE SEAL JUDGMENTS,
00:08:52.178 --> 00:08:54.480
BUT THEN JOHN SAYS, "I WANT TO EXPLAIN
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.449
TO YOU SOMETHING ELSE."
00:08:56.449 --> 00:08:58.017
WE'RE GOING TO BACK UP TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION
00:08:58.017 --> 00:09:01.320
BEFORE REVELATION 6, SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS HERE.
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.291
AND IT'S THE 144.000 ISRAELITES WHO WILL STAND ON EARTH
00:09:05.291 --> 00:09:11.030
DURING THE TRIBULATION.
00:09:11.030 --> 00:09:12.431
THIS IS ONE GROUP JOHN WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
00:09:12.431 --> 00:09:15.101
WHO WILL STAND FIRM ON EARTH DURING THE TRIBULATION.
00:09:15.101 --> 00:09:19.538
NOW LOOK AT VERSE ONE, THE VISION OF THE RESTRAINING
00:09:19.538 --> 00:09:22.441
AND SEALING ANGELS.
00:09:22.441 --> 00:09:24.477
"AFTER," VERSE ONE, "AFTER THIS, I SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING
00:09:24.477 --> 00:09:29.281
AT THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH HOLDING BACK
00:09:29.281 --> 00:09:32.318
THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH SO THAT NO WIND WOULD BLOW
00:09:32.318 --> 00:09:36.255
ON THE EARTH OR ON THE SEA OR ON ANY TREE."
00:09:36.255 --> 00:09:40.593
NOW CRITICS OF THE BIBLE IMMEDIATELY SEIZE ON THIS PHRASE,
00:09:40.593 --> 00:09:44.196
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
00:09:44.196 --> 00:09:46.032
THOSE WRITERS OF THE BIBLE WERE SO STUPID.
00:09:46.032 --> 00:09:48.534
THEY THOUGHT THE EARTH WAS FLAT AND HAD FOUR CORNERS TO IT.
00:09:48.534 --> 00:09:51.671
THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T TRUST THE BIBLE ON ANYTHING.
00:09:51.671 --> 00:09:54.707
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:09:54.707 --> 00:09:56.409
THE EARTH IS FLAT.
00:09:56.409 --> 00:09:57.643
THE BIBLE SAYS FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
00:09:57.643 --> 00:09:59.545
DON'T DO IT NOW, BUT SOMETIME GO ON YOUR IPHONE.
00:09:59.545 --> 00:10:02.948
TYPE IN SUNSET AND IT'LL TELL YOU
00:10:02.948 --> 00:10:06.285
THE TIME THE SUN IS GOING TO SET TODAY.
00:10:06.285 --> 00:10:08.487
IT'LL TELL YOU THE TIME OF THE SUNRISE TOMORROW MORNING.
00:10:08.487 --> 00:10:11.857
HOW IGNORANT, HOW STUPID.
00:10:11.857 --> 00:10:14.226
THE SUN DOESN'T RISE.
00:10:14.226 --> 00:10:16.062
THE SUN DOESN'T SET.
00:10:16.062 --> 00:10:17.930
IT JUST APPEARS THAT WAY TO US.
00:10:17.930 --> 00:10:20.599
THIS IS THE LANGUAGE OF APPEARANCE.
00:10:20.599 --> 00:10:22.368
IT'S THE EARTH'S ROTATION THAT MAKES THE SUN APPEAR
00:10:22.368 --> 00:10:25.438
TO RISE AND SET.
00:10:25.438 --> 00:10:26.772
IT'S THE SAME THING HERE.
00:10:26.772 --> 00:10:27.907
THIS IS JUST THE LANGUAGE OF APPEARANCE.
00:10:27.907 --> 00:10:31.010
AND JOHN SAYS HE SAW FOUR ANGELS
00:10:31.010 --> 00:10:33.679
WHO HAD BEEN SENT TO RESTRAIN THE JUDGMENT
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.416
THAT'S ABOUT TO COME UPON THE EARTH.
00:10:37.416 --> 00:10:39.685
IN VERSE TWO, "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING
00:10:39.685 --> 00:10:42.955
FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN."
00:10:42.955 --> 00:10:45.291
THAT'S FROM THE EAST.
00:10:45.291 --> 00:10:46.826
IT'S ALWAYS AN INDICATION OF SALVATION THAT'S ABOUT TO COME.
00:10:46.826 --> 00:10:49.895
"I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL RISING FROM THE EAST HAVING
00:10:49.895 --> 00:10:53.766
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD."
00:10:53.766 --> 00:10:56.235
NOW I WANT YOU TO UNDERLINE THAT,
00:10:56.235 --> 00:10:57.603
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:10:57.603 --> 00:11:00.339
"AND HE CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS
00:11:00.339 --> 00:11:03.375
TO WHOM IT WAS GRANTED TO HARM THE EARTH AND THE SEA SAYING,
00:11:03.375 --> 00:11:06.946
'DO NOT HARM THE EARTH OR THE SEA OR THE TREES
00:11:06.946 --> 00:11:11.317
UNTIL WE HAVE SEALED THE BONDSERVANTS OF OUR GOD
00:11:11.317 --> 00:11:17.356
ON THEIR FOREHEADS.'"
00:11:17.356 --> 00:11:20.025
BEFORE THE JUDGMENTS COULD COME
00:11:20.025 --> 00:11:21.827
AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION,
00:11:21.827 --> 00:11:24.330
THE ANGEL SAYS, "BEFORE YOU UNLEASH YOUR JUDGMENTS, ANGELS,
00:11:24.330 --> 00:11:28.801
WE NEED TO SEAL THE BONDSERVANTS OF GOD."
00:11:28.801 --> 00:11:33.038
NOW WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:11:33.038 --> 00:11:35.407
A SEAL, AND BY THE WAY, THIS IS EXTRA.
00:11:35.407 --> 00:11:37.676
YOU CAN WRITE IT DOWN ON YOUR OUTLINES.
00:11:37.676 --> 00:11:39.512
IN BIBLICAL TIMES, A SEAL SIGNIFIED THREE THINGS.
00:11:39.512 --> 00:11:45.351
FIRST OF ALL, IT SIGNIFIED AUTHORITY.
00:11:45.351 --> 00:11:48.687
IT WAS AN OFFICIAL COMMAND.
00:11:48.687 --> 00:11:51.323
NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE IN A MOMENT
00:11:51.323 --> 00:11:52.925
THAT THESE BONDSERVANTS OF GOD ARE GOING TO BE SEALED
00:11:52.925 --> 00:11:57.329
WITH A MARK OF ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF.
00:11:57.329 --> 00:12:00.366
THE SEAL MARKED, FIRST OF ALL, AUTHORITY.
00:12:00.366 --> 00:12:02.835
SECONDLY, IT MARKED POSSESSION.
00:12:02.835 --> 00:12:05.304
MANY TIMES IF YOU WANT TO SHOW
00:12:05.304 --> 00:12:06.772
THAT SOMETHING BELONGS TO YOU, YOU WRITE YOUR NAME ON IT.
00:12:06.772 --> 00:12:09.909
IT WAS THE SAME THING WITH A SEAL.
00:12:09.909 --> 00:12:11.877
A SEAL, KIND OF LIKE A STICKER
00:12:11.877 --> 00:12:13.679
SOMETIMES YOU PUT ON THINGS WAS A SIGN
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.081
THAT IT BELONGED TO YOU.
00:12:16.081 --> 00:12:17.716
AND THIRDLY, THE SEAL WAS A SIGN OF PROTECTION.
00:12:17.716 --> 00:12:21.620
IT MEANT PROTECTION.
00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:23.355
REMEMBER AFTER JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED
00:12:23.355 --> 00:12:25.724
AND THEY PUT HIM IN THE TOMB OF JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA,
00:12:25.724 --> 00:12:29.361
REMEMBER PONTIUS PILATE ORDERED
00:12:29.361 --> 00:12:31.564
THAT A ROMAN GUARD UNIT BE PLACED AROUND THE TOMB.
00:12:31.564 --> 00:12:34.767
AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE TOMB WAS SEALED.
00:12:34.767 --> 00:12:38.704
THAT SEAL, MAN, IT WAS REALLY
00:12:38.704 --> 00:12:40.306
A PIECE OF STRING STRUNG ACROSS THE BOULDER
00:12:40.306 --> 00:12:43.576
THAT WAS HELD ON EITHER SIDE BY A PIECE OF WAX
00:12:43.576 --> 00:12:46.779
THAT HAD THE ROMAN INSIGNIA ON IT SIGNIFYING
00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:51.283
THAT THIS TOMB WAS BEING PROTECTED
00:12:51.283 --> 00:12:53.886
BY THE POWER OF ROME ITSELF.
00:12:53.886 --> 00:12:56.856
THAT WAS THE MEANING OF A SEAL,
00:12:56.856 --> 00:12:58.691
AUTHORITY, OWNERSHIP, PROTECTION.
00:12:58.691 --> 00:13:01.393
BY THE WAY, DID YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN TODAY
00:13:01.393 --> 00:13:04.296
GOD HAS PUT HIS SEAL ON YOU,
00:13:04.296 --> 00:13:06.532
A SIGN THAT YOU BELONG TO HIM, A SIGN THAT HE OWNS YOU,
00:13:06.532 --> 00:13:11.437
A SIGN THAT HE IS GOING TO PROTECT YOU?
00:13:11.437 --> 00:13:13.439
ANYBODY WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD'S SEAL IS?
00:13:13.439 --> 00:13:17.276
EPHESIANS 1 TELLS US IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOU.
00:13:17.276 --> 00:13:21.747
IN EPHESIANS 1:13-14, PAUL SAYS,
00:13:21.747 --> 00:13:24.450
"IN HIM, CHRIST, YOU ALSO AFTER LISTENING
00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:27.519
TO THE MESSAGE OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION,
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.990
HAVING ALSO BELIEVED YOU WERE SEALED IN HIM
00:13:30.990 --> 00:13:34.260
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE
00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:37.229
WHO HAS GIVEN US A PLEDGE OF OUR INHERITANCE
00:13:37.229 --> 00:13:39.932
WITH A VIEW OF THE REDEMPTION OF GOD'S OWN POSSESSION
00:13:39.932 --> 00:13:43.235
TO THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY."
00:13:43.235 --> 00:13:45.337
IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN,
00:13:45.337 --> 00:13:46.572
YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOU
00:13:46.572 --> 00:13:49.141
TO GUIDE YOU, TO PROTECT YOU,
00:13:49.141 --> 00:13:51.543
TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU BELONG TO HIM.
00:13:51.543 --> 00:13:54.213
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE PROMISE
00:13:54.213 --> 00:13:56.181
THAT GOD WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISE TO YOU.
00:13:56.181 --> 00:13:58.918
EVEN THOUGH GOD HAS ALREADY PURCHASED YOUR PARDON FROM SIN
00:13:58.918 --> 00:14:04.556
AND YOUR POWER FROM SIN,
00:14:04.556 --> 00:14:06.158
ONE DAY WE ARE GOING TO BE DELIVERED
00:14:06.158 --> 00:14:07.860
FROM THE PRESENCE OF SIN
00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:09.595
WHEN GOD TAKES US TO LIVE WITH HIM FOREVER.
00:14:09.595 --> 00:14:12.598
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOU IS
00:14:12.598 --> 00:14:15.434
GOD'S DOWN PAYMENT THAT HE IS GOING TO FULFILL
00:14:15.434 --> 00:14:18.704
HIS ULTIMATE PROMISE TO YOU.
00:14:18.704 --> 00:14:20.873
THAT'S THE SEAL FOR A CHRISTIAN.
00:14:20.873 --> 00:14:22.908
BUT THIS WAS A DIFFERENT SEAL FOR 144.000 PEOPLE.
00:14:22.908 --> 00:14:26.812
THIS IS THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:14:26.812 --> 00:14:31.283
WHO ARE THESE 144.000 WHO ARE SEALED?
00:14:31.283 --> 00:14:35.154
THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO SURVIVE THE TRIBULATION.
00:14:35.154 --> 00:14:39.024
REMEMBER I SAID LAST TIME 1/4 OF THE WORLD WILL BE KILLED
00:14:39.024 --> 00:14:42.828
DURING THE TRIBULATION.
00:14:42.828 --> 00:14:44.163
THAT COULD BE UPWARDS TO 2 BILLION PEOPLE
00:14:44.163 --> 00:14:46.565
USING TODAY'S POPULATION STATISTICS.
00:14:46.565 --> 00:14:50.169
MANY PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED,
00:14:50.169 --> 00:14:51.837
BUT THESE 144.000 THAT GOD SEALS WITH HIS SEAL
00:14:51.837 --> 00:14:56.475
AND PROTECTS WILL NOT SUFFER DEATH.
00:14:56.475 --> 00:15:00.412
YOU KNOW ONE WAY WE KNOW THAT?
00:15:00.412 --> 00:15:01.680
WHEN WE TURN TO REVELATION 14.
00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:03.248
AT THE END OF THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION
00:15:03.248 --> 00:15:05.784
THERE IS A PICTURE IN REVELATION 14:1.3-4
00:15:05.784 --> 00:15:09.321
OF THE 144.000 WHO ARE STANDING WITH JESUS CHRIST
00:15:09.321 --> 00:15:13.625
ON MOUNT ZION IN JERUSALEM.
00:15:13.625 --> 00:15:16.028
HOW MANY ARE THERE AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION?
00:15:16.028 --> 00:15:18.530
NOT 139.999, BUT 144.000.
00:15:18.530 --> 00:15:24.269
NOT ONE HAS BEEN LOST.
00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:26.872
NOW THE NATURAL QUESTION IS WELL, WHO ARE THESE 144.000?
00:15:26.872 --> 00:15:32.711
VERSE FOUR, "AND I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THOSE
00:15:32.711 --> 00:15:35.047
WHO WERE SEALED.
00:15:35.047 --> 00:15:36.482
THEY WERE 144.000."
00:15:36.482 --> 00:15:39.084
OH, YOU CAN READ AND READ AND HEAR ALL KIND OF IDEAS
00:15:39.084 --> 00:15:41.920
OF WHO THESE 144.000 ARE.
00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:44.223
CAN I SHARE WITH YOU A SIMPLE RULE
00:15:44.223 --> 00:15:47.826
FOR INTERPRETING THE BIBLE?
00:15:47.826 --> 00:15:49.728
IT'S SO SIMPLE.
00:15:49.728 --> 00:15:52.297
WHEN THE PLAIN SENSE MAKES GOOD SENSE, SEEK NO OTHER SENSE.
00:15:52.297 --> 00:16:05.244
READ THE BIBLE AS IT'S WRITTEN.
00:15:59.438 --> 00:16:06.712
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT,
00:16:06.712 --> 00:16:07.946
IT'S VERY CLEAR WHO THESE 144.000 ARE.
00:16:07.946 --> 00:16:11.483
THESE ARE 144.000, VERSE FOUR,
00:16:11.483 --> 00:16:13.819
"SEALED FROM EVERY TRIBE OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL.
00:16:13.819 --> 00:16:18.657
FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, 12.000.
00:16:18.657 --> 00:16:21.393
FROM THE TRIBE OF REUBEN, 12.000.
00:16:21.393 --> 00:16:23.729
FROM THE TRIBE OF GAD, 12.000," AND ON AND ON.
00:16:23.729 --> 00:16:27.599
THESE ARE JEWS WHO HAVE BEEN SELECTED AND SEALED
00:16:27.599 --> 00:16:32.304
AND SAVED BY GOD AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION.
00:16:32.304 --> 00:16:38.744
NOW TODAY IT'S HARD TO KNOW IF YOU'RE A JEWISH PERSON
00:16:38.744 --> 00:16:41.246
WHAT YOUR TRIBE IS.
00:16:41.246 --> 00:16:42.714
THE RECORDS WERE LOST WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE.
00:16:42.714 --> 00:16:45.484
BUT JUST BECAUSE WE'VE LOST THE RECORDS,
00:16:45.484 --> 00:16:47.453
IT DOESN'T MEAN GOD HAS LOST THE RECORDS.
00:16:47.453 --> 00:16:49.621
HE KNOWS WHO THESE TRIBES ARE.
00:16:49.621 --> 00:16:52.424
PEOPLE SAY WELL, WAIT A MINUTE.
00:16:52.424 --> 00:16:54.259
ALL CHRISTIANS ARE RAPTURED AND IN HEAVEN.
00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:57.062
YOU'VE JUST GOT A WORLD OF UNBELIEVERS.
00:16:57.062 --> 00:16:59.364
HOW CAN THEY EVER BE SAVED?
00:16:59.364 --> 00:17:02.634
SAME WAY YOU'RE SAVED AND I'M SAVED.
00:17:02.634 --> 00:17:05.337
THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD USING THE WORD OF GOD
00:17:05.337 --> 00:17:08.774
TO BRING US TO A KNOWLEDGE OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST.
00:17:08.774 --> 00:17:12.311
YES, WE'LL BE RAPTURED, BUT THERE'LL BE BIBLES
00:17:12.311 --> 00:17:15.280
THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND, CHRISTIAN BOOKS LEFT BEHIND.
00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:19.651
PERHAPS OLD EPISODES OF "PATHWAY TO VICTORY" LEFT BEHIND.
00:17:19.651 --> 00:17:23.155
(CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
00:17:23.155 --> 00:17:24.556
PLUS PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER OUR WORDS
00:17:24.556 --> 00:17:26.758
WHICH, BY THE WAY, WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
00:17:26.758 --> 00:17:28.594
THE WITNESS, THE WORDS WE'VE SPOKEN
00:17:28.594 --> 00:17:30.529
FOR CHRIST WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
00:17:30.529 --> 00:17:32.297
THEY WILL HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD OF GOD.
00:17:32.297 --> 00:17:34.833
AND ALTHOUGH PEOPLE WON'T BE INDWELT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:17:34.833 --> 00:17:37.803
DURING THE TRIBULATION DOESN'T MEAN
00:17:37.803 --> 00:17:39.538
THE HOLY SPIRIT DOESN'T COME UPON PEOPLE AND CONVICT PEOPLE
00:17:39.538 --> 00:17:42.574
LIKE HE DID IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TIME.
00:17:42.574 --> 00:17:45.611
THESE ARE THE 144.000.
00:17:45.611 --> 00:17:47.546
WHAT IS THEIR MINISTRY?
00:17:47.546 --> 00:17:49.248
THEIR MINISTRY IS TO SHARE THE GOSPEL.
00:17:49.248 --> 00:17:52.351
J. DWIGHT PENTECOST WROTE, "THEY LIKE SAUL WILL BE SET APART
00:17:52.351 --> 00:17:58.790
TO BE GOD'S WITNESSES TO THE GENTILES."
00:17:58.790 --> 00:18:03.061
REMEMBER, GOD HASN'T FINISHED HIS PLAN WITH ISRAEL YET.
00:18:03.061 --> 00:18:06.598
GOD HAS TEMPORARILY STOPPED HIS DEALINGS WITH ISRAEL
00:18:06.598 --> 00:18:11.336
BUT HE ISN'T FINISHED WITH THEM.
00:18:11.336 --> 00:18:13.071
HE'S GOING TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSE FOR ISRAEL.
00:18:13.071 --> 00:18:15.841
NOW IN ROMANS 11:1, HAS GOD REJECTED HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL?
00:18:15.841 --> 00:18:19.178
NO, MAY IT NEVER BE.
00:18:19.178 --> 00:18:22.014
AND PART OF GOD'S PLAN FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY BE USED
00:18:22.014 --> 00:18:25.484
TO BRING A WORLDWIDE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
00:18:25.484 --> 00:18:30.222
THAT'S THE REASON GOD SET ISRAEL APART.
00:18:30.222 --> 00:18:33.392
HE CHOSE ISRAEL TO BE A WITNESS TO THE WORLD OF HIM.
00:18:33.392 --> 00:18:38.030
I REMEMBER WHEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO
00:18:38.030 --> 00:18:40.666
WHEN I WAS INVITED TO GIVE THE OPENING PRAYER
00:18:40.666 --> 00:18:43.202
FOR THE OPENING OF OUR EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM.
00:18:43.202 --> 00:18:47.372
IN THAT PRAYER, NETANYAHU AND ALL THE JEWISH OFFICIALS WERE
00:18:47.372 --> 00:18:51.410
SEATED BEFORE ME AND I THANK GOD
00:18:51.410 --> 00:18:54.246
FOR CHOOSING THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
00:18:54.246 --> 00:18:57.115
SAYING THAT IT IS FROM THE JEWISH PEOPLE
00:18:57.115 --> 00:19:00.152
THAT WE RECEIVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ONE TRUE GOD.
00:19:00.152 --> 00:19:03.455
IT IS THROUGH ISRAEL THAT WE RECEIVE THE PROPHETS.
00:19:03.455 --> 00:19:06.525
IT'S FROM ISRAEL THAT CAME THE WORD OF GOD.
00:19:06.525 --> 00:19:09.828
AND IT IS THROUGH ISRAEL THE MESSIAH OF THE WORLD HAS COME.
00:19:09.828 --> 00:19:13.832
GOD'S PLAN WAS FOR ISRAEL TO DELIVER TO THE WORLD
00:19:13.832 --> 00:19:17.970
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ONE TRUE GOD
00:19:17.970 --> 00:19:19.771
AND THEY WILL ULTIMATELY FULFILL THAT PROMISE
00:19:19.771 --> 00:19:22.641
DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
00:19:22.641 --> 00:19:24.176
YOU KNOW, MATTHEW 24:14 SAYS, "BEFORE THE SECOND COMING,"
00:19:24.176 --> 00:19:29.014
JESUS SAID, "THE GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED TO ALL NATIONS."
00:19:29.014 --> 00:19:35.387
NOW REMEMBER, THAT'S BEFORE THE SECOND COMING.
00:19:35.387 --> 00:19:36.588
THERE'S NO CONDITION FOR THE RAPTURE.
00:19:36.588 --> 00:19:38.724
THE RAPTURE COULD HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT AT ANY TIME.
00:19:38.724 --> 00:19:41.627
BUT BEFORE THE FINAL RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST TO EARTH,
00:19:41.627 --> 00:19:45.230
THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING TO HEAR THE GOSPEL.
00:19:45.230 --> 00:19:47.499
AND ONE WAY THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR IS
00:19:47.499 --> 00:19:49.434
THROUGH THIS WITNESS OF THE 144.000 JEWISH EVANGELISTS.
00:19:49.434 --> 00:19:54.306
WHO WILL STAND IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION?
00:19:54.306 --> 00:19:56.808
THE 144.000 WILL STAND ON EARTH DURING THE TRIBULATION.
00:19:56.808 --> 00:20:02.981
BUT THERE'S A SECOND GROUP THAT WILL STAND
00:20:02.981 --> 00:20:04.516
IN THE TRIBULATION AND WE SEE THEM BEGINNING IN VERSE NINE.
00:20:04.516 --> 00:20:08.353
THE TRIBULATION SAINTS WILL STAND IN HEAVEN
00:20:08.353 --> 00:20:12.457
DURING THE TRIBULATION.
00:20:12.457 --> 00:20:15.661
NOW THERE IS NO VERSE THAT SAYS THIS,
00:20:15.661 --> 00:20:18.263
BUT IT IS VERY OBVIOUS.
00:20:18.263 --> 00:20:20.499
BEGINNING IN VERSE NINE,
00:20:20.499 --> 00:20:22.167
WE SEE THE RESULT OF THE WITNESS OF THE 144.000 EVANGELISTS.
00:20:22.167 --> 00:20:28.674
REMEMBER, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION,
00:20:28.674 --> 00:20:30.409
THERE ARE NO CHRISTIANS ON EARTH.
00:20:30.409 --> 00:20:32.411
THE 144.000 ARE SEALED AND SAVED
00:20:32.411 --> 00:20:36.982
AND SELECTED TO BE A WITNESS.
00:20:36.982 --> 00:20:38.517
NOW NOTICE WHAT JOHN SEES BEGINNING IN VERSE NINE.
00:20:38.517 --> 00:20:41.520
HIS VISION SHIFTS FROM LOOKING AT EARTH,
00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:44.523
AND NOW HE'S LOOKING INTO HEAVEN.
00:20:44.523 --> 00:20:46.692
"AFTER THESE THINGS, AFTER THE 144.000, I LOOKED,
00:20:46.692 --> 00:20:50.762
AND BEHOLD, A GREAT MULTITUDE WHICH NO ONE COULD COUNT
00:20:50.762 --> 00:20:55.133
FROM EVERY NATION AND ALL TRIBES AND PEOPLES
00:20:55.133 --> 00:20:58.103
AND TONGUES STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE AND BEFORE THE LAMB
00:20:58.103 --> 00:21:01.740
CLOTHED IN WHITE ROBES AND PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS."
00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:06.311
SUDDENLY HE SEES A WHOLE MASS OF PEOPLE
00:21:06.311 --> 00:21:09.081
THAT CAN'T BE COUNTED, JEWS AND GENTILES ALIKE
00:21:09.081 --> 00:21:13.285
WHO ARE STANDING BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD
00:21:13.285 --> 00:21:17.089
MEANING THEY ARE SAVED.
00:21:17.089 --> 00:21:18.890
AND NOT ONLY THAT, THEY'RE IN WHITE ROBES
00:21:18.890 --> 00:21:20.826
MEANING THEY'VE BEEN FORGIVEN,
00:21:20.826 --> 00:21:22.928
AND PALM BRANCHES, A SIGN OF VICTORY.
00:21:22.928 --> 00:21:25.297
"AND THEY CRY OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE SAYING,
00:21:25.297 --> 00:21:28.800
'SALVATION TO OUR GOD WHO SITS ON THE THRONE
00:21:28.800 --> 00:21:31.970
AND TO THE LAMB.'
00:21:31.970 --> 00:21:33.472
AND ALL THE ANGELS WERE STANDING AROUND THE THRONE
00:21:33.472 --> 00:21:35.841
AND THE ELDERS AND THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES,
00:21:35.841 --> 00:21:37.709
AND THEY FELL ON THEIR FACES BEFORE THE THRONE
00:21:37.709 --> 00:21:39.978
AND WORSHIPED GOD SAYING, 'AMEN, BLESSING AND GLORY
00:21:39.978 --> 00:21:43.582
AND WISDOM AND THANKSGIVING AND HONOR
00:21:43.582 --> 00:21:45.250
AND POWER AND MIGHT BE TO OUR GOD FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN.'"
00:21:45.250 --> 00:21:51.456
WHO ARE THESE MULTITUDES THAT COME FROM EVERY TRIBE,
00:21:51.456 --> 00:21:56.361
EVERY NATION UNDER EARTH?

00:22:00.198 --> 00:22:02.734
THESE ARE THOSE WHO ARE SAVED DURING THE TRIBULATION
00:22:02.734 --> 00:22:06.938
THROUGH THE WITNESS OF THE 144.000.
00:22:06.938 --> 00:22:10.375
IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING
00:22:10.375 --> 00:22:11.576
LIKE THE WORLD HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.
00:22:11.576 --> 00:22:14.312
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE OFTEN ASK WILL PEOPLE BE SAVED
00:22:14.312 --> 00:22:17.282
DURING THE TRIBULATION?
00:22:17.282 --> 00:22:18.717
YES, AND IT WON'T BE JUST A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE.
00:22:18.717 --> 00:22:21.420
IT WILL BE A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE SAVED.

[ANNOUNCER] OUR WORLD IS GROWING DARKER AND DARKER,

IN THE MIDST OF PERSECUTION."
00:24:30.815 --> 00:24:32.450

AND YET HE STILL INVITES PEOPLE TO RECEIVE HIS FORGIVENESS.
00:25:12.390 --> 00:25:18.863
