♪♪♪
00:00:00.957 --> 00:00:06.696
Male announcer: from the pulpit of the first baptist church of
00:00:06.796 --> 00:00:09.065
Dallas, texas, this is "pathway to victory" with
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:10.066
Dr. robert jeffress.
00:00:12.268 --> 00:00:14.671
Dr. robert jeffress: hi, i'm robert jeffress, and welcome

Again to "pathway to victory."
00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:19.209
Throughout history, kings and queens have ruled over vast
00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:22.612
Empires, but every earthly ruler eventually surrenders
00:00:22.612 --> 00:00:27.083
Their crown.
00:00:27.083 --> 00:00:28.451
There is, however, one king whose reign will never end, and
00:00:28.451 --> 00:00:32.489
His name is jesus christ.
00:00:32.489 --> 00:00:34.824
Today we'll explore what scripture reveals about christ's
00:00:34.824 --> 00:00:37.961
Future 1000-year reign on earth and what it means for
00:00:37.961 --> 00:00:41.531
Believers today.

Announcer: jesus is the most talked about person in human
00:03:20.623 --> 00:03:23.826
History, but we can't fully grasp who jesus is until we
00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:27.664
Understand both his first and his second coming.
00:03:27.664 --> 00:03:30.566
In his powerful new book, "jesus revealed in the end times," dr.
00:03:30.566 --> 00:03:34.671
Robert jeffress unveils the glorious return of our savior.
00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:38.308

00:03:52.422 --> 00:03:59.896
Jeffress: like many of you, i was one of millions who a few
00:03:59.896 --> 00:04:05.535
Years ago was watching the funeral service for queen
00:04:05.535 --> 00:04:09.806
Elizabeth ii.
00:04:09.806 --> 00:04:12.475
As i watched that service unfold, i thought about her
00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:16.379
Longevity as queen.
00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:19.082
During her time, she had 15 different prime ministers who
00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:23.820
Served her, beginning with winston churchill.
00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:27.023
Every united states president, from harry truman to joe biden,
00:04:27.023 --> 00:04:31.361
Visited her, with the exception of lyndon johnson.
00:04:31.361 --> 00:04:36.399
She reigned for 70 years and 214 days, making her the longest
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:43.706
Monarch in britain's history.
00:04:43.706 --> 00:04:46.809
But then she eventually died and she had to relinquish her
00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:50.813
Kingdom to another.
00:04:50.813 --> 00:04:53.383
Ladies and gentlemen, you and i serve a king who also died, but
00:04:53.383 --> 00:04:58.821
Thank god, that's not the end of the story.
00:04:58.821 --> 00:05:01.391
He rose again from the dead, and one day he's returning to reign
00:05:01.391 --> 00:05:06.562
Over this world.
00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:08.164
He's bringing in a new kingdom that we will be a part of.
00:05:08.164 --> 00:05:13.202
He is the ruler, the leader that everyone has looked for and
00:05:13.202 --> 00:05:17.073
Longed for, whether they realize it or not, one who rules in
00:05:17.073 --> 00:05:21.344
Compassion, with absolute justice and with fairness, one
00:05:21.344 --> 00:05:25.815
Who's able to vanquish evil itself.
00:05:25.815 --> 00:05:29.752
Today we're going to talk about an event in the end times that
00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:33.656
Reveals perhaps more than any other jesus as king, and it's an
00:05:33.656 --> 00:05:38.561
Event called the millennium, the 1000-year reign of christ
00:05:38.561 --> 00:05:43.332
On earth.
00:05:43.332 --> 00:05:44.700
You know, i was talking to our friend david jeremiah a week or
00:05:44.700 --> 00:05:48.471
Two ago.
00:05:48.471 --> 00:05:49.806
He called to check and see how our church was doing, and we
00:05:49.806 --> 00:05:53.142
Were talking about his new book.
00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:54.644
He said, "there is such an absence of books about the
00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:58.147
Millennium that i decided to write one."
00:05:58.147 --> 00:06:01.184
He beat me to the punch on it, but he's got a book coming out
00:06:01.184 --> 00:06:04.454
About the millennium, but it's not talked about that much
00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:07.690
At all.
00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:09.058
And yet, it represents what we've all longed for--a perfect
00:06:09.058 --> 00:06:13.095
Kingdom, one on which jesus christ has complete
00:06:13.095 --> 00:06:16.766
Authority over.
00:06:16.766 --> 00:06:18.201
Let's look at the events, first of all, that happened right
00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:21.637
Before the millennium.
00:06:21.637 --> 00:06:23.072
What happens during that first 30 days after christ returned?
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:27.477
One thing that happens is the judgment of the nations.
00:06:27.477 --> 00:06:31.214
God does judge us individually, but he also judges nations.
00:06:31.214 --> 00:06:36.719
And remember, only believers can enter into the millennium.
00:06:36.719 --> 00:06:41.691
And there will be plenty of unbelievers who are left after
00:06:41.691 --> 00:06:45.094
Jesus returns, who survived the tribulation.
00:06:45.094 --> 00:06:47.897
So there has to be some kind of judgment.
00:06:47.897 --> 00:06:51.033
And matthew 25 talks about those judgments that occur when christ
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:55.738
Returns before the millennium.
00:06:55.738 --> 00:06:58.007
The judgment of nations is one of those.
00:06:58.007 --> 00:07:00.243
Next time we're going to talk about the different judgments of
00:07:00.243 --> 00:07:03.880
Jesus christ, jesus the judge, but that's not the only thing
00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:07.850
That happens during the first 30 days.
00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:10.119
In addition to the judgments, notice that the antichrist and
00:07:10.119 --> 00:07:14.957
False prophet will be thrown into the lake of fire once
00:07:14.957 --> 00:07:18.928
Jesus returns.
00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:20.296
Immediately at his second coming.
00:07:20.296 --> 00:07:22.164
The antichrist and false prophet are thrown into the lake
00:07:22.164 --> 00:07:24.901
Of fire.
00:07:24.901 --> 00:07:26.235
Look at revelation 19:20: "and the beast--" that's the
00:07:26.235 --> 00:07:29.939
Antichrist, "--was seized."
00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:31.741
This is when jesus returns.
00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:34.176
"the beast, the antichrist, was seized and with him the false
00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:37.747
Prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he
00:07:37.747 --> 00:07:41.751
Deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those
00:07:41.751 --> 00:07:45.087
Who worshiped his image; these two--" that is the antichrist
00:07:45.087 --> 00:07:49.191
And the false prophet.
00:07:49.191 --> 00:07:50.693
"--were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns
00:07:50.693 --> 00:07:56.132
With brimstone.
00:07:56.132 --> 00:07:58.367
What is the lake of fire?
00:07:58.367 --> 00:08:00.403
The lake of fire is the final destination of every unsaved
00:08:00.403 --> 00:08:05.641
Person who has ever lived.
00:08:05.641 --> 00:08:07.643
It's not hades.
00:08:07.643 --> 00:08:08.978
If an unbeliever dies today, luke 16 says he goes to hades.
00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:13.416
He's conscious.
00:08:13.416 --> 00:08:14.784
It's a place of torment, jesus said, but it's not the final
00:08:14.784 --> 00:08:18.020
Judgment place.
00:08:18.020 --> 00:08:19.789
The final judgment is the lake of fire, and notice two members
00:08:19.789 --> 00:08:24.360
Of the satanic trinity: satan, the beast, and the
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.197
False prophet.
00:08:28.197 --> 00:08:29.532
Two of those, the false prophet and the beast, are thrown into
00:08:29.532 --> 00:08:32.868
The lake of fire.
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.837
But where does satan go?
00:08:34.837 --> 00:08:38.040
What happens to him?
00:08:38.040 --> 00:08:39.475
Well, that's the second thing that happens.
00:08:39.475 --> 00:08:41.410
Satan is bound and imprisoned in the abyss.
00:08:41.410 --> 00:08:47.817
What is the abyss?
00:08:47.817 --> 00:08:49.819
There is a place right now, we don't know where it is, for some
00:08:49.819 --> 00:08:53.656
Especially horrible demons.
00:08:53.656 --> 00:08:55.725
You would think all demons are horrible, and they are, but some
00:08:55.725 --> 00:08:59.495
Special class of demons are so evil that are imprisoned already
00:08:59.495 --> 00:09:04.467
In the abyss.
00:09:04.467 --> 00:09:05.901
The greek word is "abyssos," and notice what happened to satan.
00:09:05.901 --> 00:09:10.006
Revelation 23: "and the angel threw satan into the abyss and
00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:15.911
Shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the
00:09:15.911 --> 00:09:19.915
Nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed;
00:09:19.915 --> 00:09:24.687
After these things he must be released for a short time."
00:09:24.687 --> 00:09:28.057
We'll get to that in a moment, but this place, the abyss, was
00:09:28.057 --> 00:09:31.694
So horrible that even demons did not want to be there.
00:09:31.694 --> 00:09:35.698
Remember the demons who were running around on the earth in
00:09:35.698 --> 00:09:38.768
Jesus's day in luke 8?
00:09:38.768 --> 00:09:40.770
Jesus was about to dispatch them into the abyss,
00:09:40.770 --> 00:09:43.873
And they pled with jesus, "please, don't send us to that
00:09:43.873 --> 00:09:47.910
Horrible place."
00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:49.478
They would rather occupy some swine or another human being
00:09:49.478 --> 00:09:53.416
Than to be into the abyss.
00:09:53.416 --> 00:09:56.385
That's where the devil is going to end up.
00:09:56.385 --> 00:09:59.121
He's going to end up in the abyss.
00:09:59.121 --> 00:10:00.856
Why?
00:10:00.856 --> 00:10:02.191
Because unlike the beast and false prophet who are finished
00:10:02.191 --> 00:10:06.262
At this point, there's more work for satan to be done at the end
00:10:06.262 --> 00:10:10.566
Of the millennium.
00:10:10.566 --> 00:10:11.934
Again, we'll get to that in a moment.
00:10:11.934 --> 00:10:13.469
There's a third thing that happens in that first 30 days of
00:10:13.469 --> 00:10:16.872
Christ's return, and that is the resurrection of the old
00:10:16.872 --> 00:10:20.976
Testament and tribulation saints.
00:10:20.976 --> 00:10:24.380
Just imagine this parade.
00:10:24.380 --> 00:10:26.215
There's a leader of the parade, and others are joining the
00:10:26.215 --> 00:10:29.385
Parade at specific points along the parade route.
00:10:29.385 --> 00:10:32.521
That's the picture of the first resurrection.
00:10:32.521 --> 00:10:35.624
Who's in that resurrection parade that's led by
00:10:35.624 --> 00:10:38.694
Jesus christ?
00:10:38.694 --> 00:10:40.262
Jesus and the first fruits, paul said in 1 corinthians 15.
00:10:40.262 --> 00:10:44.366
Following jesus is the church.
00:10:44.366 --> 00:10:47.303
That's at the rapture, the dead in christ will be raised.
00:10:47.303 --> 00:10:51.974
Not their spirits, they're already with the lord.
00:10:51.974 --> 00:10:53.943
Their bodies will be raised, and we who are alive and remain at
00:10:53.943 --> 00:10:57.680
That time, shall be transformed both the dead in christ and
00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:02.551
Those alive at the rapture.
00:11:02.551 --> 00:11:04.820
We will receive our brand new bodies.
00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:07.857
So some have already received the resurrection bodies, but
00:11:07.857 --> 00:11:10.826
There's still others who need them.
00:11:10.826 --> 00:11:13.129
And the first group that will receive their resurrection
00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:16.699
Bodies will be the old testament saints.
00:11:16.699 --> 00:11:20.069
Where do i find that?
00:11:20.069 --> 00:11:21.403
Isaiah 26:19: "your dead will live; their corpses will rise.
00:11:21.403 --> 00:11:27.376
You who lie in the dust awake and shout for joy, for your dew
00:11:27.376 --> 00:11:31.514
Is as the dew of the dawn, and the earth will give birth to the
00:11:31.514 --> 00:11:34.583
Departed spirits."
00:11:34.583 --> 00:11:36.385
The other people who will have their bodies resurrected at the
00:11:36.385 --> 00:11:41.390
End of the tribulation will be the tribulation martyrs.
00:11:41.390 --> 00:11:45.961
That is those people who became christians and gave their life
00:11:45.961 --> 00:11:51.066
Because of their faith in jesus christ, the tribulation martyrs.
00:11:51.066 --> 00:11:55.237
John refers to that in revelation 20:4: "then i saw the
00:11:55.237 --> 00:11:59.708
Thrones, and they that sat upon them and judgment was given
00:11:59.708 --> 00:12:03.078
To them.
00:12:03.078 --> 00:12:04.446
And i saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of
00:12:04.446 --> 00:12:08.250
Their testimony of jesus and because of the word of god and
00:12:08.250 --> 00:12:12.054
Those who had not worshiped the beast's image and had not
00:12:12.054 --> 00:12:16.058
Received the mark on their forehead and on their hand and
00:12:16.058 --> 00:12:19.128
They came to life.
00:12:19.128 --> 00:12:20.863
That is their bodies came to life and they reigned with
00:12:20.863 --> 00:12:24.433
Christ for a thousand years."
00:12:24.433 --> 00:12:27.436
These resurrection martyrs, their spirits are right now in
00:12:27.436 --> 00:12:30.973
Heaven, revelation 6 tells us, but their bodies will be raised.
00:12:30.973 --> 00:12:34.877
They will be given new bodies at the end of the tribulation so
00:12:34.877 --> 00:12:38.848
That they can do what?
00:12:38.848 --> 00:12:40.216
They're going to be among those who reign with jesus christ
00:12:40.216 --> 00:12:44.286
During his millennial kingdom.
00:12:44.286 --> 00:12:46.288
These are all the things that happened during the first 30
00:12:46.288 --> 00:12:50.025
Days, but notice.
00:12:50.025 --> 00:12:52.228
Daniel said there's another period of time, the 45 days.
00:12:52.228 --> 00:12:56.966
Daniel 12:12.
00:12:56.966 --> 00:12:58.400
"how blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the
00:12:58.400 --> 00:13:01.937
1,335 days."
00:13:01.937 --> 00:13:04.907
We've just gone through 30 days.
00:13:04.907 --> 00:13:06.742
What happens during the next 45 days?
00:13:06.742 --> 00:13:09.812
I believe that there's great evidence that this is the time
00:13:09.812 --> 00:13:14.583
That the government, the new government under jesus christ,
00:13:14.583 --> 00:13:18.821
Is being arranged.
00:13:18.821 --> 00:13:20.456
It doesn't happen immediately.
00:13:20.456 --> 00:13:22.191
It takes time to institute this new government.
00:13:22.191 --> 00:13:25.294
This kingdom that we're talking about is a real government
00:13:25.294 --> 00:13:29.632
On earth.
00:13:29.632 --> 00:13:30.966
It's not some of the ethereal make-believe government.
00:13:30.966 --> 00:13:33.535
It's a real government.
00:13:33.535 --> 00:13:34.904
The seat of power will be jerusalem.
00:13:34.904 --> 00:13:37.306
The throne will be david's throne on which messiah will
00:13:37.306 --> 00:13:41.176
Reign, but there are others who will be reigning with him: the
00:13:41.176 --> 00:13:44.280
Apostles, the tribulation saints.
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:46.548
You may have an important responsibility.
00:13:46.548 --> 00:13:49.752
2 timothy 2:12 says, "if we endure with him, we shall
00:13:49.752 --> 00:13:53.689
Also--" what?
00:13:53.689 --> 00:13:55.057
"--reign with him."
00:13:55.057 --> 00:13:56.959
When do we reign?
00:13:56.959 --> 00:13:58.294
Well, one time is during this millennial kingdom.
00:13:58.294 --> 00:14:01.263
So i think that 45 days is a time of transition.
00:14:01.263 --> 00:14:05.668
We've talked about what happens immediately before
00:14:05.668 --> 00:14:07.903
The millennium.
00:14:07.903 --> 00:14:09.238
Let's talk for a few moments about the millennium itself.
00:14:09.238 --> 00:14:12.041
It's a time of the fulfillment of prophecies that have been
00:14:12.041 --> 00:14:15.577
Written for thousands of years.
00:14:15.577 --> 00:14:18.547
You know, one question people have is: "why isn't more in the
00:14:18.547 --> 00:14:21.350
New testament about the millennium?
00:14:21.350 --> 00:14:23.319
Why didn't john say more?"
00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.987
He devotes six short verses in revelation 20, revelation 21
00:14:24.987 --> 00:14:30.092
Through 6 to describe the millennium.
00:14:30.092 --> 00:14:32.761
But the most important aspect of the millennium is the king of
00:14:32.761 --> 00:14:36.398
The millennium, jesus himself.
00:14:36.398 --> 00:14:39.268
You know, from his infancy, jesus was known as the king of
00:14:39.268 --> 00:14:42.571
The jews.
00:14:42.571 --> 00:14:43.906
The wise men came searching.
00:14:43.906 --> 00:14:45.240
"where is he who's been born king of the jews?"
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.177
When he was being crucified on the cross, the romans put the
00:14:48.177 --> 00:14:51.046
Placard above his head: "behold the king of the jews."
00:14:51.046 --> 00:14:55.417
Jesus's role as king is fulfilled during the millennium.
00:14:55.417 --> 00:14:59.288
They're gonna be certain administrative blessings that
00:14:59.288 --> 00:15:02.124
Come when he reigns.
00:15:02.124 --> 00:15:04.460
He'll have a perfect government.
00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:06.428
There'll be certain effects of sin that have been removed.
00:15:06.428 --> 00:15:11.433
He will rule in perfect judgment.
00:15:11.433 --> 00:15:13.902
Verse 3 of isaiah 11 says, "he will delight in the fear of the
00:15:13.902 --> 00:15:18.340
Lord, and he will not judge by what his eye see, nor make
00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:22.411
Decision by what his ears hear.
00:15:22.411 --> 00:15:23.912
But with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with
00:15:23.912 --> 00:15:28.717
Fairness the afflicted on the earth."
00:15:28.717 --> 00:15:31.220
He's the perfect ruler, just think about it.
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:34.623
Finally, at last.
00:15:34.623 --> 00:15:37.893
A government you can be proud of, a government that doesn't
00:15:37.893 --> 00:15:41.930
Disappoint you severely.
00:15:41.930 --> 00:15:43.999
We all have that longing because we're made in the image of god.
00:15:43.999 --> 00:15:47.469
We want a government that's fair and equitable and that you
00:15:47.469 --> 00:15:50.873
Can trust.
00:15:50.873 --> 00:15:52.207
We'll have that in the millennium.
00:15:52.207 --> 00:15:54.076
As i mentioned, there'll be certain physical blessings.
00:15:54.076 --> 00:15:57.546
The curse won't be completely lifted, but with satan bound for
00:15:57.546 --> 00:16:02.184
A thousand years, much of the curse will be at least delayed.
00:16:02.184 --> 00:16:06.789
For example, no longer will we be fearful of wild animals.
00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:10.225
Isaiah 11:68 says, "the wolf will dwell with the lamb."
00:16:10.225 --> 00:16:14.663
Verse 8 says, "the nursing child will play by the hole of the
00:16:14.663 --> 00:16:18.300
Cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the
00:16:18.300 --> 00:16:22.171
Viper's den."
00:16:22.171 --> 00:16:23.539
That's hard to imagine.
00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:25.707
There'll be a longevity of life that we talked about.
00:16:25.707 --> 00:16:29.545
There'll still be death, but it won't be the kind of death that
00:16:29.545 --> 00:16:33.015
We experience now.
00:16:33.015 --> 00:16:35.217
What happens during the millennium, ladies and
00:16:35.217 --> 00:16:37.119
Gentlemen, is that the curse that came from sin in genesis 3,
00:16:37.119 --> 00:16:41.323
It is partially, not completely lifted.
00:16:41.323 --> 00:16:44.326
I've often described the millennium and contrasted it
00:16:44.326 --> 00:16:47.563
With the new heaven and earth this way.
00:16:47.563 --> 00:16:49.965
The millennium is a renovation of the current earth.
00:16:49.965 --> 00:16:54.770
The new heaven and the new earth are a recreation of the earth.
00:16:54.770 --> 00:16:59.608
There's a difference between a renovation and a recreation.
00:16:59.608 --> 00:17:03.412
Seventeen years ago, when i had the privilege of being called to
00:17:03.412 --> 00:17:07.316
Come as your pastor, we talked about what needed to be done
00:17:07.316 --> 00:17:10.452
First, and one of the priorities was we've got to do something
00:17:10.452 --> 00:17:14.089
About that children's area in the truett building.
00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:16.992
It was in complete disrepair.
00:17:16.992 --> 00:17:19.895
We couldn't attract young families with a facility like
00:17:19.895 --> 00:17:22.798
That, and so we immediately began a renovation plan.
00:17:22.798 --> 00:17:27.936
We needed to do something, not tomorrow, not next year,
00:17:27.936 --> 00:17:30.906
But now.
00:17:30.906 --> 00:17:32.274
But we also had in mind an eventual recreation of
00:17:32.274 --> 00:17:36.445
Our campus.
00:17:36.445 --> 00:17:37.913
We did the renovation first and then we blew it all up and did
00:17:37.913 --> 00:17:42.351
The recreation.
00:17:42.351 --> 00:17:44.386
There's a difference between renovation and recreation.
00:17:44.386 --> 00:17:48.490
The millennium is the renovation.
00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:51.293
There are certain spiritual blessings.
00:17:51.293 --> 00:17:53.595
The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the lord.
00:17:53.595 --> 00:17:56.532
The bible says that that day, at that time, every knee will bow.
00:17:56.532 --> 00:18:00.335
And every tongue will confess that jesus christ is lord.
00:18:00.335 --> 00:18:04.439
Now briefly, the events that followed the millennium, after
00:18:04.439 --> 00:18:07.543
The thousand years, satan is released and leads a
00:18:07.543 --> 00:18:11.079
Minor revolt.
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:12.514
Well, actually it's a major revolt that lasts only a
00:18:12.514 --> 00:18:15.417
Split second.
00:18:15.417 --> 00:18:16.785
The children of those who have been born during the millennium,
00:18:16.785 --> 00:18:21.523
Even though they're living under the rule of jesus christ, you
00:18:21.523 --> 00:18:25.861
Would think that they would follow him.
00:18:25.861 --> 00:18:28.730
But some will choose to rebel against him.
00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:32.501
You see, just being in a perfect environment is not enough to
00:18:32.501 --> 00:18:36.338
Convert you.
00:18:36.338 --> 00:18:37.673
It takes the work of the holy spirit, and there will be some
00:18:37.673 --> 00:18:41.710
Of those children who decide to follow after satan.
00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:46.014
They'll launch a rebellion against jesus on his throne, and
00:18:46.014 --> 00:18:50.118
Jesus, just by the word of his mouth, will send the fire from
00:18:50.118 --> 00:18:53.755
Heaven and destroy them completely.
00:18:53.755 --> 00:18:57.159
What happens after that?
00:18:57.159 --> 00:18:58.560
Satan is cast into the lake of fire.
00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:01.697
Look at revelation 20:10: "and the devil who deceived them was
00:19:01.697 --> 00:19:05.567
Thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and
00:19:05.567 --> 00:19:09.004
The false prophet are also--" after a thousand years, they're
00:19:09.004 --> 00:19:14.509
Still alive, and that's the horrible thing about hell.
00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:19.481
Unbelievers aren't destroyed.
00:19:19.481 --> 00:19:21.650
They suffer there day and night forever and ever.
00:19:21.650 --> 00:19:26.688
A thousand years after being cast in that lake of fire, the
00:19:26.688 --> 00:19:30.492
False prophet and the beast are still there.
00:19:30.492 --> 00:19:34.496
That is the fate of all unbelievers.
00:19:34.496 --> 00:19:38.066
Following that, there's a resurrection of all the unsaved.
00:19:38.066 --> 00:19:42.404
They are judged by whether or not their name is found written
00:19:42.404 --> 00:19:45.274
In the lamb's book of life, and if any man's name was not found
00:19:45.274 --> 00:19:48.877
There, he too was cast into the lake of fire.
00:19:48.877 --> 00:19:54.149
Those who don't know the lord, those who don't love the lord
00:19:54.149 --> 00:19:57.953
Are cursed, and they certainly don't want the lord to come.
00:19:57.953 --> 00:20:01.757
But the heartfelt desire of every christian is that jesus
00:20:01.757 --> 00:20:06.161
Christ come, and come quickly.
00:20:06.161 --> 00:20:11.667
Dr. dave watson is the pastor of the calvary chapel on
00:20:11.667 --> 00:20:16.805
Staten island.
00:20:16.805 --> 00:20:18.407
He tells a story about when he was 14 years old.
00:20:18.407 --> 00:20:21.043
He was on the verge of making some very bad decisions.
00:20:21.043 --> 00:20:25.380
And as he was turning those decisions over in his mind, he
00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:28.884
Was walking through his house one day and he noticed a
00:20:28.884 --> 00:20:31.219
Magazine sent to his parents "decision magazine" by
00:20:31.219 --> 00:20:35.957
Billy graham.
00:20:35.957 --> 00:20:37.559
And on the cover was an article that caught his attention.
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.163
"are you ready for the last days?"
00:20:41.163 --> 00:20:45.400
And he sat and read that article.
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.070
He'd went to church, he had heard the gospel but never
00:20:48.070 --> 00:20:51.773
Presented against the backdrop of the end times, and he was
00:20:51.773 --> 00:20:55.844
Troubled as he read that article, and the next day he
00:20:55.844 --> 00:20:58.847
Went to school and there was a coach there who was known
00:20:58.847 --> 00:21:02.184
To be a christian.
00:21:02.184 --> 00:21:04.219
And david watson asked him about the end times and about the
00:21:04.219 --> 00:21:08.190
Events, and as a result of what that coach said, dave watson
00:21:08.190 --> 00:21:12.561
Said, "i placed my faith and trust in jesus's death and
00:21:12.561 --> 00:21:16.798
Resurrection for the forgiveness of my sins and my
00:21:16.798 --> 00:21:21.036
Eternal destiny."
00:21:21.036 --> 00:21:23.605
I'd like to ask you the same question billy graham asked in
00:21:23.605 --> 00:21:26.808
That article more than 50 years ago.
00:21:26.808 --> 00:21:30.612
Are you ready?
00:21:30.612 --> 00:21:32.848
Are you prepared for the last days?
00:21:32.848 --> 00:21:37.018
Whether we're talking about the last days of planet earth or
00:21:37.018 --> 00:21:41.223
Your last days on planet earth.
00:21:41.223 --> 00:21:44.659
Are you ready?
00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.994
Are you prepared?
00:21:45.994 --> 00:21:47.863
The best way to prepare for the last days, the best way is to
00:21:47.863 --> 00:21:54.136
Trust in christ as your savior, to receive the forgiveness of
00:21:54.136 --> 00:21:57.873
Your sins, to receive the assurance that you're going to
00:21:57.873 --> 00:22:00.742
Be in heaven one day.
00:22:00.742 --> 00:22:02.644
Why is that so important to do now?
00:22:02.644 --> 00:22:06.615
Because ladies and gentlemen, the king is coming.
00:22:06.615 --> 00:22:12.320
Maranatha, o lord, come.
00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:17.893
Jeffress: while earthly kingdoms and rulers eventually fade away,
00:22:22.130 --> 00:22:25.767

Natural disasters, and economic turmoil, but the end times
00:23:29.231 --> 00:23:33.935
