  • Again, to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:00:16.406 --> 00:00:18.575
  • People enjoy hearing stories about god's love
  • 00:00:18.575 --> 00:00:21.578
  • And forgiveness.
  • 00:00:21.578 --> 00:00:22.946
  • And while it's true that he provides a means for our
  • 00:00:22.946 --> 00:00:25.415
  • Salvation, we can't fully appreciate god's mercy until we
  • 00:00:25.415 --> 00:00:30.019
  • Fully revere his holiness.
  • 00:00:30.019 --> 00:00:32.322
  • The fact is while god will forgive those who ask for
  • 00:00:32.322 --> 00:00:35.592
  • Forgiveness, he will also judge those who reject his gift
  • 00:00:35.592 --> 00:00:39.496
  • Of salvation.
  • 00:00:39.496 --> 00:00:40.897

  • 00:01:32.415 --> 00:01:39.022
  • Jeffress: warren wiersbe tells the story about a frontier town
  • 00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:43.960
  • In which, wagon being pulled along by a horse suddenly bolted
  • 00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:50.200
  • Away as the horse began to run, carrying the wagon that in turn
  • 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.637
  • Had a small boy in it.
  • 00:01:54.637 --> 00:01:56.973
  • A young man seeing the danger the young child was in suddenly
  • 00:01:56.973 --> 00:02:01.211
  • Got on a horse and put his own life at risk to rescue the
  • 00:02:01.211 --> 00:02:05.114
  • Little boy.
  • 00:02:05.114 --> 00:02:06.816
  • That little boy grew up to be a ruthless criminal.
  • 00:02:06.816 --> 00:02:10.987
  • And one day he found himself standing before a judge awaiting
  • 00:02:10.987 --> 00:02:15.225
  • Being sentenced for a murder he had committed.
  • 00:02:15.225 --> 00:02:18.895
  • And as the young criminal looked up at the judge, he recognized
  • 00:02:18.895 --> 00:02:22.332
  • The judge as the man who had saved his life many
  • 00:02:22.332 --> 00:02:26.636
  • Years earlier.
  • 00:02:26.636 --> 00:02:28.471
  • And so he made a plea for mercy to the judge based on what the
  • 00:02:28.471 --> 00:02:32.442
  • Judge had done for him many years earlier.
  • 00:02:32.442 --> 00:02:35.712
  • But the judge silenced the plea of mercy with the these words.
  • 00:02:35.712 --> 00:02:40.316
  • He looked at the young criminal and he said, "son many years
  • 00:02:40.316 --> 00:02:44.921
  • Ago, i was your savior, but today i am your judge.
  • 00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:51.194
  • And therefore, i sentence you to be hanged."
  • 00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:56.499
  • More than two thousand years ago, jesus christ came to be
  • 00:02:56.499 --> 00:03:00.536
  • Our savior.
  • 00:03:00.536 --> 00:03:02.205
  • He lived a humiliating life.
  • 00:03:02.205 --> 00:03:04.007
  • He died an excruciating death in order to provide for us the
  • 00:03:04.007 --> 00:03:08.511
  • Forgiveness of our sins.
  • 00:03:08.511 --> 00:03:10.747
  • But the bible says one day jesus christ is coming back to earth,
  • 00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:15.218
  • Not as the savior of the world, but as the judge of the world.
  • 00:03:15.218 --> 00:03:20.356
  • And it's that second coming of christ, when he comes to judge
  • 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:24.460
  • All unbelievers, that we're going to look at today.
  • 00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:28.298
  • It is a judgment that takes place at an event we often call
  • 00:03:28.298 --> 00:03:32.902
  • "the great white throne judgment."
  • 00:03:32.902 --> 00:03:35.471
  • If you have your bibles, turn to revelation, chapter 20.
  • 00:03:35.471 --> 00:03:38.941
  • Revelation, chapter 20.
  • 00:03:38.941 --> 00:03:41.344
  • Let me remind you where we are in our study of bible prophecy.
  • 00:03:41.344 --> 00:03:44.981
  • We've looked at the next great event that is to happen, that is
  • 00:03:44.981 --> 00:03:48.351
  • The rapture of the church in which christians are caught up
  • 00:03:48.351 --> 00:03:51.054
  • To meet the lord in the air, followed by the seven year time
  • 00:03:51.054 --> 00:03:54.891
  • Of tribulation in which god pours out his wrath on
  • 00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:58.061
  • Unbelievers in the earth.
  • 00:03:58.061 --> 00:03:59.796
  • And of course, the climax of that seven year tribulation is
  • 00:03:59.796 --> 00:04:03.199
  • The battle of armageddon and the second coming of jesus christ,
  • 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.003
  • When we, who to christ, return with christ to set up his
  • 00:04:07.003 --> 00:04:11.274
  • Kingdom upon the earth.
  • 00:04:11.274 --> 00:04:12.875
  • And that time when christ rules over this earth is the time we
  • 00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:17.213
  • Looked at last time called "the millennium," the thousand-year
  • 00:04:17.213 --> 00:04:20.850
  • Reign of christ on earth.
  • 00:04:20.850 --> 00:04:22.685
  • When we return with christ, remember what happens?
  • 00:04:22.685 --> 00:04:26.189
  • The beast and the false prophet, revelation nineteen says, are
  • 00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:29.559
  • Cast into the lake of fire.
  • 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:31.427
  • There are also judgments: matthew 25, in which
  • 00:04:31.427 --> 00:04:35.365
  • The lord jesus christ will judge the sheep and the goats; he will
  • 00:04:35.365 --> 00:04:38.968
  • Separate believers from unbelievers.
  • 00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:41.604
  • Many people will survive the great tribulation, both
  • 00:04:41.604 --> 00:04:44.340
  • Believers and unbelievers.
  • 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:46.242
  • Unbelievers are fled away, they are taken away into judgment.
  • 00:04:46.242 --> 00:04:50.380
  • Believers enter into this thousand-year rule of christ.
  • 00:04:50.380 --> 00:04:54.851
  • And it's during that thousand-year rule of christ
  • 00:04:54.851 --> 00:04:57.954
  • That we are with christ and we judge with christ,
  • 00:04:57.954 --> 00:05:01.424
  • The earth.
  • 00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:02.759
  • And not only are we judging, so will be the twelve apostles, and
  • 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.829
  • So will be the believing jews.
  • 00:05:06.829 --> 00:05:08.765
  • But there is another group that john sees who are present during
  • 00:05:08.765 --> 00:05:14.437
  • That millennial time, and he describes them in verses 4 to
  • 00:05:14.437 --> 00:05:18.141
  • 6 of revelation 20: "and i saw thrones, and they that sat
  • 00:05:18.141 --> 00:05:23.746
  • Upon them, and judgment was given to them.
  • 00:05:23.746 --> 00:05:26.816
  • And i saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the
  • 00:05:26.816 --> 00:05:30.787
  • Testimony of jesus and because of the word of god, and those
  • 00:05:30.787 --> 00:05:35.191
  • Who had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not
  • 00:05:35.191 --> 00:05:38.528
  • Received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand;
  • 00:05:38.528 --> 00:05:42.165
  • And they came to life and they reigned with christ for a
  • 00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:45.635
  • Thousand years.
  • 00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:47.103
  • The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand
  • 00:05:47.103 --> 00:05:51.140
  • Years were completed.
  • 00:05:51.140 --> 00:05:52.608
  • This is the first resurrection.
  • 00:05:52.608 --> 00:05:55.077
  • Blessed and holy is the one who is apart in the first
  • 00:05:55.077 --> 00:05:58.781
  • Resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but
  • 00:05:58.781 --> 00:06:03.152
  • They will be priests of god and of christ and will reign with
  • 00:06:03.152 --> 00:06:06.656
  • Him for a thousand years."
  • 00:06:06.656 --> 00:06:09.025
  • This phrase, "the first resurrection," introduces us to
  • 00:06:09.025 --> 00:06:13.463
  • A concept that we have to understand if we're going to
  • 00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:16.432
  • Understand the end times.
  • 00:06:16.432 --> 00:06:18.100
  • And it's the concept of two resurrections.
  • 00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:22.472
  • Now, that word "resurrection" comes from the greek
  • 00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:25.441
  • Word "anastasis."
  • 00:06:25.441 --> 00:06:27.043
  • It's a word that is used 40 times in the greek
  • 00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:30.012
  • New testament.
  • 00:06:30.012 --> 00:06:31.380
  • And it always refers to the raising of a person's
  • 00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:35.718
  • Physical body.
  • 00:06:35.718 --> 00:06:37.353
  • You see, the bible says when we as christians die, it doesn't
  • 00:06:37.353 --> 00:06:40.957
  • Matter when it is, our spirits, the essence of who we really
  • 00:06:40.957 --> 00:06:44.760
  • Are, goes immediately into the presence of jesus.
  • 00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:48.097
  • To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord
  • 00:06:48.097 --> 00:06:51.133
  • 2 corinthians 5:8.
  • 00:06:51.133 --> 00:06:52.835
  • Likewise, when a non-christian dies, his spirit goes to a place
  • 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:58.307
  • Called hades.
  • 00:06:58.307 --> 00:06:59.642
  • We'll look at it in a couple of weeks.
  • 00:06:59.642 --> 00:07:01.344
  • That is the waiting place of the unsaved dead; it is a place
  • 00:07:01.344 --> 00:07:04.714
  • Of torment.
  • 00:07:04.714 --> 00:07:06.082
  • When we as christians die, our spirit goes to heaven.
  • 00:07:06.082 --> 00:07:09.385
  • Our bodies are left behind in the grave.
  • 00:07:09.385 --> 00:07:11.721
  • When the non-christian dies, his spirit goes to hades.
  • 00:07:11.721 --> 00:07:14.824
  • His body is left behind in the grave.
  • 00:07:14.824 --> 00:07:17.493
  • But both the bodies of christians and non-christians
  • 00:07:17.493 --> 00:07:21.364
  • Will be raised at some future time.
  • 00:07:21.364 --> 00:07:24.033
  • The body of christians will be raised so that we can experience
  • 00:07:24.033 --> 00:07:27.837
  • Everlasting blessing.
  • 00:07:27.837 --> 00:07:29.639
  • The body of non-christians will be resurrected so that they
  • 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.175
  • Can experience everlasting judgment.
  • 00:07:33.175 --> 00:07:35.912
  • These are the two resurrections.
  • 00:07:35.912 --> 00:07:38.247
  • The first resurrection is for eternal life.
  • 00:07:38.247 --> 00:07:41.551
  • The second resurrection is for eternal death.
  • 00:07:41.551 --> 00:07:45.154
  • That's why john says blessed is he who has a part in the
  • 00:07:45.154 --> 00:07:48.958
  • First resurrection?
  • 00:07:48.958 --> 00:07:50.359
  • Because over him, the second death has no power.
  • 00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:54.797
  • Now, let's look at each of these resurrections in more detail; i
  • 00:07:54.797 --> 00:07:57.867
  • Have it there, on your outline.
  • 00:07:57.867 --> 00:07:59.802
  • The first resurrection is called, very creatively, "the
  • 00:07:59.802 --> 00:08:04.807
  • First resurrection."
  • 00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:07.009
  • That makes sense, doesn't it?
  • 00:08:07.009 --> 00:08:08.377
  • The first resurrection is "the first resurrection."
  • 00:08:08.377 --> 00:08:11.347
  • It is the resurrection of all christians.
  • 00:08:11.347 --> 00:08:14.717
  • But here's the concept you need to understand: the first
  • 00:08:14.717 --> 00:08:17.887
  • Resurrection doesn't happen all at the same time.
  • 00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:21.324
  • The first resurrection happens at four different times
  • 00:08:21.324 --> 00:08:25.461
  • In history.
  • 00:08:25.461 --> 00:08:26.829
  • That is, every christian goes immediately into the presence of
  • 00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:29.799
  • Christ when he dies, but his body is raised at a particular
  • 00:08:29.799 --> 00:08:34.604
  • Time in history, and it's not the same for all believers.
  • 00:08:34.604 --> 00:08:37.840
  • The best way to understand that is through a concept you moms
  • 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:42.044
  • Understand or remember, and it's the concept of a carpool.
  • 00:08:42.044 --> 00:08:46.983
  • You know what a carpool is.
  • 00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:48.851
  • You know, you arrange with other parents if you're the designated
  • 00:08:48.851 --> 00:08:51.887
  • Carpool driver, that you go around and pick up the little
  • 00:08:51.887 --> 00:08:55.124
  • Urchins at different houses, and you know, your car, the
  • 00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:59.495
  • Population gets bigger and bigger and bigger at each pickup
  • 00:08:59.495 --> 00:09:02.732
  • Point until you deposit all of them at one location--the
  • 00:09:02.732 --> 00:09:06.235
  • Soccer field or school.
  • 00:09:06.235 --> 00:09:08.037
  • That is a carpool.
  • 00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:10.339
  • I want you to think of the first resurrection as a heavenly
  • 00:09:10.339 --> 00:09:14.276
  • Carpool, okay?
  • 00:09:14.276 --> 00:09:16.779
  • Different christians are picked up at different points
  • 00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:19.515
  • In history.
  • 00:09:19.515 --> 00:09:20.850
  • That is, their bodies are raised up and changed into
  • 00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:23.219
  • The resurrection body.
  • 00:09:23.219 --> 00:09:24.587
  • Where do we find that?
  • 00:09:24.587 --> 00:09:25.921
  • Hold your place here, and turn over to
  • 00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:28.758
  • 1 corinthians chapter 15.
  • 00:09:28.758 --> 00:09:30.493
  • Remember, this is the great resurrection chapter of the
  • 00:09:30.493 --> 00:09:33.462
  • Bible, and in the first nineteen verses, paul explains the truth
  • 00:09:33.462 --> 00:09:37.833
  • Of christ's resurrection; from history, why we know christ was
  • 00:09:37.833 --> 00:09:42.605
  • Physically raised from the dead.
  • 00:09:42.605 --> 00:09:45.341
  • Now, interestingly, some of the corinthians, they accepted the
  • 00:09:45.341 --> 00:09:49.111
  • Fact that christ was raised from the dead, but they didn't
  • 00:09:49.111 --> 00:09:52.181
  • Believe that you and i would be raised in the same way.
  • 00:09:52.181 --> 00:09:55.151
  • But paul corrects their understanding.
  • 00:09:55.151 --> 00:09:56.986
  • Look at 1 corinthians 15, verse20: "but now
  • 00:09:56.986 --> 00:10:00.022
  • Christ has been raised from the dead, he is the first fruits of
  • 00:10:00.022 --> 00:10:05.795
  • Those who are asleep."
  • 00:10:05.795 --> 00:10:08.597
  • Now, that verse is meaningless to most of us because we don't
  • 00:10:08.597 --> 00:10:12.068
  • Have a jewish background; we don't understand what the term
  • 00:10:12.068 --> 00:10:15.137
  • "first fruits" means.
  • 00:10:15.137 --> 00:10:17.773
  • But in the israeli culture, in the old testament, remember it
  • 00:10:17.773 --> 00:10:22.044
  • Was an agricultural community.
  • 00:10:22.044 --> 00:10:24.613
  • When they would harvest crops, when the time of the harvest
  • 00:10:24.613 --> 00:10:27.817
  • Came, before farmers would harvest the entire crop, they
  • 00:10:27.817 --> 00:10:32.855
  • Would harvest a sampling of it and they would bring that sample
  • 00:10:32.855 --> 00:10:36.892
  • To the priest and offer it as an offering.
  • 00:10:36.892 --> 00:10:39.462
  • It was called the offering of the first fruits
  • 00:10:39.462 --> 00:10:43.065
  • Leviticus 23:10.
  • 00:10:43.065 --> 00:10:45.134
  • Now, this sample harvest wasn't all the harvest, it was just a
  • 00:10:45.134 --> 00:10:48.704
  • Sample of a greater harvest that was yet to come.
  • 00:10:48.704 --> 00:10:52.875
  • And what paul is saying, is as magnificent as the resurrection
  • 00:10:52.875 --> 00:10:57.346
  • Of jesus christ was, it's not the whole story.
  • 00:10:57.346 --> 00:11:01.217
  • Jesus christ was just the first of many who would be raised from
  • 00:11:01.217 --> 00:11:05.688
  • The dead.
  • 00:11:05.688 --> 00:11:07.056
  • He was the "first fruits."
  • 00:11:07.056 --> 00:11:08.390
  • He was the sample of a greater resurrection yet to come.
  • 00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:12.795
  • Look at verses 22 and 23 of
  • 00:11:12.795 --> 00:11:14.630
  • 1 corinthians 15: "for as in adam all die, so also in
  • 00:11:14.630 --> 00:11:19.969
  • Christ all shall be made alive."
  • 00:11:19.969 --> 00:11:22.705
  • It's not just christ who was raised from the dead, but every
  • 00:11:22.705 --> 00:11:26.342
  • Follower of christ will also be raised from the dead.
  • 00:11:26.342 --> 00:11:29.278
  • Verse twenty-three: "but each in his own order."
  • 00:11:29.278 --> 00:11:32.982
  • Translation: but everybody has to wait their turn.
  • 00:11:32.982 --> 00:11:36.752
  • That's what he's saying.
  • 00:11:36.752 --> 00:11:38.087
  • We're all gonna be raised, but each according to
  • 00:11:38.087 --> 00:11:40.890
  • A specific order.
  • 00:11:40.890 --> 00:11:42.691
  • Now, underline that word "order."
  • 00:11:42.691 --> 00:11:44.927
  • It's the greek word "tagma," t-a-g-m-a.
  • 00:11:44.927 --> 00:11:48.831
  • And it's a word that refers to a military parade.
  • 00:11:48.831 --> 00:11:53.035
  • How many of you have ever seen a military parade before?
  • 00:11:53.035 --> 00:11:55.638
  • Okay.
  • 00:11:55.638 --> 00:11:57.006
  • This is what he's alluding to a military parade.
  • 00:11:57.006 --> 00:11:59.408
  • Just imagine a parade that is going down a long stretch of a
  • 00:11:59.408 --> 00:12:04.246
  • Boulevard, with everybody watching, and at different
  • 00:12:04.246 --> 00:12:07.650
  • Points along the parade, different core of the military
  • 00:12:07.650 --> 00:12:11.220
  • Fall into their place in the parade.
  • 00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:13.756
  • And as the parade continues, it gets larger and larger
  • 00:12:13.756 --> 00:12:17.693
  • And larger.
  • 00:12:17.693 --> 00:12:19.061
  • Now, that is the word picture paul is painting here.
  • 00:12:19.061 --> 00:12:22.398
  • Think of the resurrection.
  • 00:12:22.398 --> 00:12:23.766
  • If you don't like the idea of a carpool, think of it as a
  • 00:12:23.766 --> 00:12:26.936
  • Heavenly resurrection parade.
  • 00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:29.438
  • Who's in that parade?
  • 00:12:29.438 --> 00:12:30.873
  • Well, he tells us in verse twenty-three.
  • 00:12:30.873 --> 00:12:33.008
  • He says, in verse twenty-three, first of all, in that order is
  • 00:12:33.008 --> 00:12:36.779
  • Christ, the "first fruits."
  • 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:39.148
  • Now, i've given you a chart on your outline to help you
  • 00:12:39.148 --> 00:12:42.184
  • Understand this.
  • 00:12:42.184 --> 00:12:43.519
  • I've helped you understand the four pickup points in that
  • 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.822
  • Military parade or heavenly carpool, which different
  • 00:12:46.822 --> 00:12:50.259
  • Christians throughout history are going to join-in with their
  • 00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:53.696
  • Resurrected bodies.
  • 00:12:53.696 --> 00:12:55.064
  • First of all, christ, the "first fruits," he's the leader of
  • 00:12:55.064 --> 00:12:58.467
  • The parade.
  • 00:12:58.467 --> 00:12:59.802
  • He's the guy out front.
  • 00:12:59.802 --> 00:13:01.170
  • He is the one leading the parade.
  • 00:13:01.170 --> 00:13:03.005
  • That's what ephesians 4:8 says, "when he ascended on high, he
  • 00:13:03.005 --> 00:13:06.342
  • Led captive, a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."
  • 00:13:06.342 --> 00:13:10.212
  • Christ is at the head of that military parade.
  • 00:13:10.212 --> 00:13:13.249
  • Now, i don't wanna get off into the weeds here, but did you know
  • 00:13:13.249 --> 00:13:17.319
  • Christ was not the only one who was raised at that time?
  • 00:13:17.319 --> 00:13:20.990
  • In matthew, chapter twenty-seven, verses fifty-two
  • 00:13:20.990 --> 00:13:23.559
  • And fifty-three: [when christ died, that friday afternoon,
  • 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.196
  • Some of the tombs were open and some people were actually raised
  • 00:13:27.196 --> 00:13:30.733
  • From the dead at that time, they didn't appear until after the
  • 00:13:30.733 --> 00:13:34.436
  • Resurrection, make themselves known in jerusalem].
  • 00:13:34.436 --> 00:13:37.039
  • So, christ actually had several, uh, people around him.
  • 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:41.043
  • The "first fruits," the harvest of the resurrection following
  • 00:13:41.043 --> 00:13:45.047
  • The lord jesus christ.
  • 00:13:45.047 --> 00:13:46.382
  • Notice the next group in the parade route that will receive
  • 00:13:46.382 --> 00:13:49.485
  • Their resurrection body.
  • 00:13:49.485 --> 00:13:50.953
  • After that, verse twenty-three, "those who belong to christ at
  • 00:13:50.953 --> 00:13:55.925
  • His coming."
  • 00:13:55.925 --> 00:13:57.726
  • Now we saw that word "coming," "parousia" in greek, is a word
  • 00:13:57.726 --> 00:14:00.930
  • That is used both to refer to the rapture and seven years
  • 00:14:00.930 --> 00:14:05.000
  • Later to the second coming of christ.
  • 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.736
  • So, when he says, "some will receive the resurrection bodies
  • 00:14:07.736 --> 00:14:12.141
  • At his coming," is paul talking about the rapture or the
  • 00:14:12.141 --> 00:14:14.610
  • Second coming?
  • 00:14:14.610 --> 00:14:15.945
  • Well, actually, he's talking about both.
  • 00:14:15.945 --> 00:14:17.413
  • The next group after jesus to receive their resurrection body
  • 00:14:17.413 --> 00:14:21.083
  • Will be you and i, the church, and we get our bodies at
  • 00:14:21.083 --> 00:14:24.853
  • The rapture.
  • 00:14:24.853 --> 00:14:26.188
  • 1 thessalonians 4: "and we who are alive and remain
  • 00:14:26.188 --> 00:14:29.024
  • Shall be caught up together to meet the lord in the air.
  • 00:14:29.024 --> 00:14:32.094
  • The dead in christ will rise first.
  • 00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:34.129
  • Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together to
  • 00:14:34.129 --> 00:14:36.699
  • Meet the lord in the air."
  • 00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:38.067
  • 1 corinthians15 says, "at that time, we will all be
  • 00:14:38.067 --> 00:14:41.303
  • Changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye."
  • 00:14:41.303 --> 00:14:44.139
  • We get our resurrection bodies at the rapture.
  • 00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:47.810
  • But also, it refers to another group.
  • 00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:50.212
  • Thirdly, it says one "c" on your chart there, "those who will
  • 00:14:50.212 --> 00:14:54.249
  • Receive their resurrection bodies at the second coming
  • 00:14:54.249 --> 00:14:57.186
  • Of christ."
  • 00:14:57.186 --> 00:14:58.520
  • There's a third group who receives their
  • 00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.055
  • Resurrection bodies.
  • 00:15:00.055 --> 00:15:01.423
  • It is those who belong to christ at his second coming.
  • 00:15:01.423 --> 00:15:04.526
  • Who would that be?
  • 00:15:04.526 --> 00:15:06.095
  • John just talked about it in revelation twenty-four: "it is
  • 00:15:06.095 --> 00:15:09.164
  • The souls of those who were martyred during
  • 00:15:09.164 --> 00:15:11.633
  • The tribulation."
  • 00:15:11.633 --> 00:15:12.968
  • That group of christians who were killed for their faith,
  • 00:15:12.968 --> 00:15:15.971
  • They would not receive the mark.
  • 00:15:15.971 --> 00:15:18.040
  • Of course, their soul immediately went to heaven.
  • 00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:20.409
  • But john says, "i saw them come to life at that time."
  • 00:15:20.409 --> 00:15:24.380
  • That is, they received their resurrection bodies at the
  • 00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:27.516
  • Beginning of the millennium, when christ returns.
  • 00:15:27.516 --> 00:15:30.285
  • Not only that, daniel 12:1-2 says the old testament saints
  • 00:15:30.285 --> 00:15:34.189
  • Will receive their bodies...
  • 00:15:34.189 --> 00:15:36.091
  • Adam and eve and, and, uh, jonah and esther and david--all will
  • 00:15:36.091 --> 00:15:41.797
  • Receive their resurrection bodies.
  • 00:15:41.797 --> 00:15:43.565
  • They're with christ now, but they receive their resurrection
  • 00:15:43.565 --> 00:15:46.402
  • Bodies at the second coming.
  • 00:15:46.402 --> 00:15:48.437
  • And then there's one final group, the fourth pick up point
  • 00:15:48.437 --> 00:15:51.540
  • In the resurrection parade.
  • 00:15:51.540 --> 00:15:53.375
  • Then comes the end when he delivers up the kingdom.
  • 00:15:53.375 --> 00:15:57.112
  • That is the end of the millennium, the thousand-year
  • 00:15:57.112 --> 00:16:00.182
  • Reign of christ, there is one final group to receive their
  • 00:16:00.182 --> 00:16:03.385
  • Resurrection bodies.
  • 00:16:03.385 --> 00:16:04.753
  • Who are these people?
  • 00:16:04.753 --> 00:16:06.255
  • It will be those christians who have gone into the thousand-year
  • 00:16:06.255 --> 00:16:10.893
  • Reign of christ in their natural bodies.
  • 00:16:10.893 --> 00:16:13.295
  • We'll talk about that more in a moment.
  • 00:16:13.295 --> 00:16:15.264
  • Not every christian will be slaughtered during the
  • 00:16:15.264 --> 00:16:17.800
  • Tribulation, some will survive.
  • 00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:20.502
  • They will enter the millennium in their natural bodies.
  • 00:16:20.502 --> 00:16:25.040
  • They will give birth to other people during the millennium.
  • 00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:28.310
  • Those children will die during the millennium.
  • 00:16:28.310 --> 00:16:30.813
  • They'll live longer than they do now, but they will die.
  • 00:16:30.813 --> 00:16:33.749
  • They receive their resurrection bodies at the end of
  • 00:16:33.749 --> 00:16:36.885
  • The millennium.
  • 00:16:36.885 --> 00:16:38.220
  • So do you get the concept?
  • 00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:39.588
  • The first resurrection doesn't happen at a single point
  • 00:16:39.588 --> 00:16:42.157
  • In time.
  • 00:16:42.157 --> 00:16:43.525
  • Instead, it's a reference to all believers who all will receive
  • 00:16:43.525 --> 00:16:47.763
  • Their resurrection bodies, but at various points in history.
  • 00:16:47.763 --> 00:16:51.400
  • John says, "blessed is the person who is a part of [this
  • 00:16:51.400 --> 00:16:55.671
  • Military parade, this heavenly carpool], the first resurrection
  • 00:16:55.671 --> 00:16:59.808
  • Over him, the second death has no power."
  • 00:16:59.808 --> 00:17:02.444
  • And then notice in revelation 25, it says, "the rest of the
  • 00:17:02.444 --> 00:17:05.581
  • Dead didn't come to life until the thousand-years
  • 00:17:05.581 --> 00:17:08.884
  • Were completed."
  • 00:17:08.884 --> 00:17:10.252
  • Who are the rest of the dead?
  • 00:17:10.252 --> 00:17:11.887
  • It is the unsaved who will be resurrected.
  • 00:17:11.887 --> 00:17:15.424
  • And that leads to what is on your chart, number two: the
  • 00:17:15.424 --> 00:17:18.460
  • Second resurrection.
  • 00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:20.696
  • It's referred to in revelation 20, verse 13: "and the sea gave
  • 00:17:20.696 --> 00:17:25.467
  • Up the dead which were in it, and death in hades gave up the
  • 00:17:25.467 --> 00:17:29.805
  • Dead which were in them."
  • 00:17:29.805 --> 00:17:32.508
  • Unlike the first resurrection that takes place over a period
  • 00:17:32.508 --> 00:17:36.111
  • Of time, the second resurrection of the unsaved occurs all at the
  • 00:17:36.111 --> 00:17:40.048
  • Same point.
  • 00:17:40.048 --> 00:17:41.383
  • It happens after the thousand-year reign of christ.
  • 00:17:41.383 --> 00:17:45.554
  • And the purpose of the second resurrection is to raise the
  • 00:17:45.554 --> 00:17:48.924
  • Bodies of all unbelievers so they can experience the final
  • 00:17:48.924 --> 00:17:52.628
  • Judgment we're talking about today, the great white
  • 00:17:52.628 --> 00:17:55.931
  • Throne judgment.
  • 00:17:55.931 --> 00:17:57.466
  • However, john says before that final judgment, one last thing
  • 00:17:57.466 --> 00:18:02.171
  • Has to occur and he describes it in verses 7 to 9. one evening, i
  • 00:18:02.171 --> 00:18:10.579
  • Was awakened in the middle of the night by the chirping sound
  • 00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:14.750
  • Of a cricket and i decided i'd try to sleep through it.
  • 00:18:14.750 --> 00:18:19.021
  • But after about twenty minutes of tossing and turning, i
  • 00:18:19.021 --> 00:18:21.557
  • Realized i could not sleep through it.
  • 00:18:21.557 --> 00:18:23.759
  • So, i threw off the covers, got out of bed.
  • 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.662
  • I could tell it was coming from the bathroom.
  • 00:18:26.662 --> 00:18:28.964
  • Turned on the light in the bathroom and around our bathtub,
  • 00:18:28.964 --> 00:18:31.733
  • There were these planters with these fake flowers in them.
  • 00:18:31.733 --> 00:18:36.238
  • And as i got closer and closer, the cricket sound got louder
  • 00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:39.541
  • And louder.
  • 00:18:39.541 --> 00:18:40.876
  • And finally, i saw one of those, uh, fake plants start to move.
  • 00:18:40.876 --> 00:18:45.480
  • We grow big crickets in texas, those of you who are wondering
  • 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.417
  • About that.
  • 00:18:48.417 --> 00:18:49.751
  • But it actually started to move a little bit.
  • 00:18:49.751 --> 00:18:51.486
  • So i jumped into the bathtub, i yanked that fake plant out, and
  • 00:18:51.486 --> 00:18:58.126
  • There was that cricket scrambling around for its life.
  • 00:18:58.126 --> 00:19:01.430
  • I reached down, grabbed it by its hind leg, and i took it over
  • 00:19:01.430 --> 00:19:06.134
  • And was about to deposit it into the watery grave of the commode,
  • 00:19:06.134 --> 00:19:11.640
  • When suddenly, i was overwhelmed with compassion.
  • 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.379
  • I thought, "you poor little cricket.
  • 00:19:17.379 --> 00:19:20.182
  • You can't help yourself.
  • 00:19:20.182 --> 00:19:22.017
  • I'm willing to go through the rest of the night sleepless, in
  • 00:19:22.017 --> 00:19:24.886
  • Order to allow you to chirp away."
  • 00:19:24.886 --> 00:19:26.755
  • And i let that cricket go.
  • 00:19:26.755 --> 00:19:30.025
  • Do you think i did that?
  • 00:19:30.025 --> 00:19:33.528
  • Of course not!
  • 00:19:33.528 --> 00:19:34.963
  • With great glee, i dropped it into the water below, and i
  • 00:19:34.963 --> 00:19:39.134
  • Flushed it away into all eternity.
  • 00:19:39.134 --> 00:19:44.239
  • Now, that incident is why i have such a hard time understanding
  • 00:19:44.239 --> 00:19:50.579
  • Revelation 20, verses 7 to 9, because the bible says,
  • 00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:54.983
  • At the beginning of the millennium, god grabs
  • 00:19:54.983 --> 00:19:57.519
  • Hold of satan, he bounds him for a thousand years.
  • 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.724
  • And for a thousand years, the earth experiences what god
  • 00:20:02.724 --> 00:20:06.061
  • Intended this world to be without satan's presence.
  • 00:20:06.061 --> 00:20:09.598
  • So what happens after the thousand years?
  • 00:20:09.598 --> 00:20:11.700
  • This just absolutely blows my mind...
  • 00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:14.236
  • God chooses to let satan go, instead of dropping him into the
  • 00:20:14.236 --> 00:20:19.308
  • Lake of fire.
  • 00:20:19.308 --> 00:20:20.676
  • Notice the reality of satan's being released at the end of the
  • 00:20:20.676 --> 00:20:24.079
  • Thousand years.
  • 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:25.414
  • Revelation 20, verse seven:
  • 00:20:25.414 --> 00:20:26.782
  • "and when the thousand years are
  • 00:20:26.782 --> 00:20:28.183
  • Completed, satan will be released from his prison and he
  • 00:20:28.183 --> 00:20:32.087
  • Will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four
  • 00:20:32.087 --> 00:20:37.125
  • Corners of the earth, gog and magog, to gather them together
  • 00:20:37.125 --> 00:20:39.261
  • For the war; the number of them is like the sand of the
  • 00:20:39.261 --> 00:20:42.998
  • Seashore;" that is, those who are deceived into making war
  • 00:20:42.998 --> 00:20:46.068
  • Against god.
  • 00:20:46.068 --> 00:20:47.436
  • "and they, [that is, the opponents of god, verse nine],
  • 00:20:47.436 --> 00:20:49.938
  • Came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the
  • 00:20:49.938 --> 00:20:53.008
  • Camp of the saints and of the beloved city,"
  • 00:20:53.008 --> 00:20:55.844
  • That is jerusalem,
  • 00:20:55.844 --> 00:20:57.546
  • "and fire came down from heaven and devoured them."
  • 00:20:57.546 --> 00:21:01.850
  • What is the purpose of satan's release?
  • 00:21:01.850 --> 00:21:04.086
  • Why does god choose to let him go?
  • 00:21:04.086 --> 00:21:06.188
  • What it says in the text here, in order that he might deceive
  • 00:21:06.188 --> 00:21:10.092
  • The nations.
  • 00:21:10.092 --> 00:21:11.626
  • That is, in spite of the previous thousand years of the
  • 00:21:11.626 --> 00:21:15.497
  • Perfect rule of jesus on the throne in jerusalem, some people
  • 00:21:15.497 --> 00:21:19.701
  • At the final moment, when given the chance, will choose to
  • 00:21:19.701 --> 00:21:23.472
  • Follow satan.
  • 00:21:23.472 --> 00:21:25.440
  • Now, of course, that brings up a number of questions: who are
  • 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:29.511
  • These people who decide, who have survived the millennium,
  • 00:21:29.511 --> 00:21:32.981
  • Who have lived under the perfect grain of christ?
  • 00:21:32.981 --> 00:21:34.716
  • Who are these people that would choose to follow after satan?
  • 00:21:34.716 --> 00:21:38.320
  • Is it possible that you and i, having trusted in christ as our
  • 00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:42.324
  • Savior, could, at the last moment, be deceived and
  • 00:21:42.324 --> 00:21:45.494
  • Lost forever?
  • 00:21:45.494 --> 00:21:47.162
  • And why does it say that god must release satan for a
  • 00:21:47.162 --> 00:21:52.000
  • Little while?
  • 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.535
  • Well, let's identify those who are deceived by satan's release.
  • 00:21:53.535 --> 00:21:57.739
  • Let's make something very, very clear.
  • 00:21:57.739 --> 00:22:00.809
  • It is impossible for somebody who is a genuine christian to
  • 00:22:00.809 --> 00:22:05.046
  • Ever be lost.
  • 00:22:05.046 --> 00:22:06.848
  • John 10:28, jesus said, "i give eternal life to them and they
  • 00:22:06.848 --> 00:22:12.220
  • Shall never perish.
  • 00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:13.688
  • No man shall snatch them out of my hands."
  • 00:22:13.688 --> 00:22:16.958
  • When god gives you eternal life, it's eternal.
  • 00:22:16.958 --> 00:22:21.296
  • If salvation can be lost, then it's not eternal.
  • 00:22:21.296 --> 00:22:25.133
  • God is the author, hebrews says, of eternal salvation.
  • 00:22:25.133 --> 00:22:29.838
  • In romans 11, verse 29, paul said, "for the gifts and the
  • 00:22:29.838 --> 00:22:33.241
  • Calling of god are irrevocable."
  • 00:22:33.241 --> 00:22:36.378
  • God does not rescind his offer of eternal life.
  • 00:22:36.378 --> 00:22:39.915
  • So, these are not genuine christians who are deceived
  • 00:22:39.915 --> 00:22:43.485
  • By satan.
  • 00:22:43.485 --> 00:22:45.821
  • Jeffress: aren't you grateful to know that god has secured our
  • 00:22:50.025 --> 00:22:52.928
  • Eternal destiny when we place our faith in jesus christ?
  • 00:22:52.928 --> 00:22:57.232
  • As christians, we don't need to fear the future.
  • 00:22:57.232 --> 00:23:00.302
  • We can live with complete confidence, knowing that god has
  • 00:23:00.302 --> 00:23:04.439
  • Prepared the way to heaven for us.
  • 00:23:04.439 --> 00:23:06.975
  • Now, before we close, let me thank those of you who support

  • Jeffress: the end-time events are going to be
  • 00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:40.035
  • Very frightening.
  • 00:24:40.035 --> 00:24:41.403
  • It's going to consist of economic turmoil.
  • 00:24:41.403 --> 00:24:43.405

  • 00:24:43.405 --> 00:24:47.375

  • 00:24:47.375 --> 00:24:50.412

  • Together we're piercing the darkness with the light of
  • 00:25:02.857 --> 00:25:05.727
  • God's word.
  • 00:25:05.727 --> 00:25:07.095
  • Jeffress: when jesus first came to earth, he came as the savior
  • 00:25:10.165 --> 00:25:13.635
  • Of the world.
  • 00:25:13.635 --> 00:25:15.003
  • But when he comes for the second time, it will be as the judge of
  • 00:25:15.003 --> 00:25:18.840
  • All the world.
  • 00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:20.175
  • And what you decide to do with jesus today will determine
  • 00:25:20.175 --> 00:25:23.812
  • Whether you experience everlasting blessing or
  • 00:25:23.812 --> 00:25:27.082
  • Everlasting judgment, eternal life or eternal death.
  • 00:25:27.082 --> 00:25:32.387
  • Well, there's much more to cover on the great white throne
  • 00:25:32.387 --> 00:25:35.090
  • Judgment, and next time we'll uncover where those individuals,
  • 00:25:35.090 --> 00:25:38.927
  • Whom satan deceives, will come from and also explore the basis
  • 00:25:38.927 --> 00:25:43.398

  • Series, "perfect ending."

  • Jeffress: see most of us, we judge ourselves according to
  • 00:25:52.073 --> 00:25:54.175
  • Other people.
  • 00:25:54.175 --> 00:25:55.510
  • We say, "well, i may not be perfect, but i pay my taxes.
  • 00:25:55.510 --> 00:25:57.445
  • I don't cheat on my mate.
  • 00:25:57.445 --> 00:25:59.047
  • I ought to make it into the kingdom."
  • 00:25:59.047 --> 00:26:00.548
  • But god says, "no!
  • 00:26:00.548 --> 00:26:02.283
  • The basis by which i judge every man is not his relative
  • 00:26:02.283 --> 00:26:06.354
  • Righteousness, but by the perfection of my son, the lord
  • 00:26:06.354 --> 00:26:08.990
  • Jesus christ."
