Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Biblical Hope In A Troubled World | March 5, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
Joseph prince: you know, we see the world
00:00:12.689 --> 00:00:14.023
Being the way it is right now, we say, "well, you know what?
00:00:14.023 --> 00:00:16.826
We just have to endure through it,"
00:00:16.826 --> 00:00:18.595
And all that.
00:00:18.595 --> 00:00:19.929
No, friend, the bible says our bodies will be transformed
00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:22.765
Like unto jesus's glorious body.
00:00:22.765 --> 00:00:25.168
Can i have a good amen?
00:00:25.168 --> 00:00:26.503
So it is a bodily redemption that we're waiting for.
00:00:26.503 --> 00:00:29.606
The scriptural attitude
00:00:29.606 --> 00:00:30.940
For the christian is not to look forward to death.
00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:33.877
The scriptural attitude, the posture of the christian
00:00:33.877 --> 00:00:37.814
Is to look forward for the blessed appearing
00:00:37.814 --> 00:00:39.849
Of our lord and savior jesus christ.
00:00:39.849 --> 00:00:41.851
Jesus says, "let not your heart be troubled,"
00:00:41.851 --> 00:00:44.220
When we see all the things happening in the world.
00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:46.156
"let not your heart be troubled.
00:00:46.156 --> 00:00:48.658
You believe in god, believe also in me," he said.
00:00:48.658 --> 00:00:51.628
"in my father's house are many mansions.
00:00:51.628 --> 00:00:54.497
I go and prepare a place for you.
00:00:54.497 --> 00:00:57.567
And if i go and prepare a place for you,
00:00:57.567 --> 00:00:59.269
I will come again and receive you unto myself."
00:00:59.269 --> 00:01:03.239
Now this is not the second coming of christ.
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:05.775
Second coming of christ, he will come back in judgment.
00:01:05.775 --> 00:01:08.912
I said he's coming back in judgment
00:01:08.912 --> 00:01:10.313
To judge this earth, amen.
00:01:10.313 --> 00:01:12.749
Yes, there is judgment, but it's not for us.
00:01:12.749 --> 00:01:16.586
We who believe in christ, that christ is our savior,
00:01:16.586 --> 00:01:19.889
He took our sins on the cross, we have passed
00:01:19.889 --> 00:01:22.225
From judgment unto life.
00:01:22.225 --> 00:01:24.194
"god so loved the world, he sent his son,"
00:01:24.194 --> 00:01:26.362
And jesus died on that cross.
00:01:26.362 --> 00:01:28.031
He hung there for you and i.
00:01:28.031 --> 00:01:29.766
He bore our judgment and all the sins
00:01:29.766 --> 00:01:31.935
That you have ever committed or that you will ever commit
00:01:31.935 --> 00:01:34.237
In your life was borne by jesus at the cross,
00:01:34.237 --> 00:01:37.207
And your sins have all, every one of them,
00:01:37.207 --> 00:01:39.475
Been punished.
00:01:39.475 --> 00:01:40.910
Male announcer: how would you spend today
00:01:40.910 --> 00:01:42.745
If you knew tomorrow was the rapture?
00:01:42.745 --> 00:01:44.647
We've seen enough movies to have an idea,
00:01:44.647 --> 00:01:46.583
But what does the bible really say?
00:01:46.583 --> 00:01:48.751
In today's message, joseph prince
00:01:48.751 --> 00:01:50.853
Unpacks this blessed hope
00:01:50.853 --> 00:01:52.755
And reveals powerful truths about the last days.
00:01:52.755 --> 00:01:55.625
When you think about the rapture, have you ever wondered,
00:01:55.625 --> 00:01:58.361
Will i be left behind?
00:01:58.361 --> 00:01:59.929
Will the end times be filled with fear?
00:01:59.929 --> 00:02:02.865
In his book, "ready for the rapture," joseph reveals
00:02:02.865 --> 00:02:05.568
Why the rapture is not a reason to fear, but a promise of peace,
00:02:05.568 --> 00:02:09.405
Security, hope, and joy in these last days.
00:02:09.405 --> 00:02:12.775
In these pages, discover how to live in hope when the world
00:02:12.775 --> 00:02:15.745
Feels hopeless, walk in confidence when things feel dark
00:02:15.745 --> 00:02:19.015
And uncertain, and shine with the light of christ in a world
00:02:19.015 --> 00:02:21.985
That seems more complex with each passing day.

Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:02:53.850 --> 00:02:56.185
With today's program.
00:02:56.185 --> 00:02:57.587
Joseph prince: you know, we are--
00:02:57.587 --> 00:02:58.921
The bible calls it perilous times.
00:02:58.921 --> 00:03:00.256
We are living in dangerous times.
00:03:00.256 --> 00:03:02.692
That's the way the word of god puts it,
00:03:02.692 --> 00:03:05.662
That in the last days, and imagine this,
00:03:05.662 --> 00:03:07.764
That in the last days perilous times shall come,
00:03:07.764 --> 00:03:12.001
Dangerous times.
00:03:12.001 --> 00:03:13.903
In the king james, perilous times.
00:03:13.903 --> 00:03:16.139
We are living in those times, amen.
00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:18.041
We are living in dangerous times.
00:03:18.041 --> 00:03:20.510
Jesus said right after he visited the temple
00:03:20.510 --> 00:03:24.380
In both the gospel of matthew, you find this,
00:03:24.380 --> 00:03:27.884
And the gospel of mark and luke, you find that jesus saw
00:03:27.884 --> 00:03:31.688
The beautiful temple structure and the disciples around him
00:03:31.688 --> 00:03:34.857
Said, "lord, look at these stones,
00:03:34.857 --> 00:03:36.759
Magnificent stones."
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.261
And then jesus says, "behold, i say to you
00:03:38.261 --> 00:03:41.431
That not one stone will be left unturned.
00:03:41.431 --> 00:03:47.670
They will all be thrown down."
00:03:47.670 --> 00:03:49.605
So they heard what he said and then quietly,
00:03:49.605 --> 00:03:52.742
As he went down the valley of kidron,
00:03:52.742 --> 00:03:54.243
Went up the other side, the mount of olives,
00:03:54.243 --> 00:03:57.380
Jesus sat down and peter, james, john, and andrew,
00:03:57.380 --> 00:04:02.819
Four of them, came to jesus and says, "lord,
00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:04.687
These things that you talk about,
00:04:04.687 --> 00:04:06.789
When will these things be?"
00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:08.725
And jesus says, "let no one deceive you.
00:04:08.725 --> 00:04:10.927
Many will come saying, 'i am christ,'
00:04:10.927 --> 00:04:13.663
And will deceive many.
00:04:13.663 --> 00:04:15.398
For nation will rise against nation."
00:04:15.398 --> 00:04:17.200
Now that word "nation," if you look it up in the greek,
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:20.169
Is ethnos against ethnos.
00:04:20.169 --> 00:04:22.305
Ethnic groups against ethnic groups.
00:04:22.305 --> 00:04:24.707
It's almost like there's gonna be an increase
00:04:24.707 --> 00:04:26.042
Of racial tension, all right, one of the signs.
00:04:26.042 --> 00:04:30.913
Then he talk about great earthquakes.
00:04:30.913 --> 00:04:33.149
Now, great earthquakes is 6 and more on the richter scale.
00:04:33.149 --> 00:04:37.687
But even in the time of christ and following those years
00:04:37.687 --> 00:04:40.356
And all that, you hardly have great earthquakes.
00:04:40.356 --> 00:04:43.025
But in this past century alone, not only
00:04:43.025 --> 00:04:45.895
You have great earthquakes, you have every year
00:04:45.895 --> 00:04:48.998
A great earthquake happening somewhere.
00:04:48.998 --> 00:04:51.200
And then the past years, you have great earthquakes
00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:53.870
Happening every few months somewhere in the world.
00:04:53.870 --> 00:04:57.774
So everything is, like, culminating to a point.
00:04:57.774 --> 00:05:01.043
Jesus says that you will see these things increase.
00:05:01.043 --> 00:05:03.613
Jesus also said in his discourse to his disciples
00:05:03.613 --> 00:05:07.183
That it will be like the days of noah.
00:05:07.183 --> 00:05:09.585
It will be like the days of lot, all right?
00:05:09.585 --> 00:05:12.088
And you know what it's like?
00:05:12.088 --> 00:05:13.423
Everyone did that which is right
00:05:13.423 --> 00:05:14.757
In their own sight.
00:05:14.757 --> 00:05:16.092
People think they are becoming modern.
00:05:16.092 --> 00:05:17.427
They are going backwards, all right?
00:05:17.427 --> 00:05:19.295
Doing what is right in their own sight.
00:05:19.295 --> 00:05:21.731
It's no more a question of you win, i win.
00:05:21.731 --> 00:05:24.100
It's a question of you lose, i win.
00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:27.003
I'm out for myself, amen?
00:05:27.003 --> 00:05:30.506
People won't blush anymore at sin.
00:05:30.506 --> 00:05:32.942
It's okay if you are, you know-- jesus says
00:05:32.942 --> 00:05:36.112
Lawlessness will increase.
00:05:36.112 --> 00:05:37.447
It's no more that higher requirement,
00:05:37.447 --> 00:05:39.115
That moral qualification.
00:05:39.115 --> 00:05:40.550
No, not holier than thou.
00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:41.884
Jesus doesn't have the holier than thou.
00:05:41.884 --> 00:05:43.586
Jesus's holiness is such that prostitutes could come to him,
00:05:43.586 --> 00:05:47.857
Tax collectors could come to him,
00:05:47.857 --> 00:05:49.192
Lepers could come to him, children could come to him,
00:05:49.192 --> 00:05:51.327
And they were never turned off.
00:05:51.327 --> 00:05:52.895
They were not repelled.
00:05:52.895 --> 00:05:54.230
There's something about him that's approachable,
00:05:54.230 --> 00:05:55.965
Yet he's thrice holy, amen?
00:05:55.965 --> 00:05:59.035
And jesus opened the way for us in his death.
00:05:59.035 --> 00:06:01.904
When he died on the cross, the same blood
00:06:01.904 --> 00:06:04.373
That removed your sins tore the veil
00:06:04.373 --> 00:06:08.010
For you to step in, amen?
00:06:08.010 --> 00:06:09.879
So now you can be in the presence of god
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.547
Without any sense of fear or worry, amen.
00:06:11.547 --> 00:06:16.752
We don't have the spirit of bondage again to fear.
00:06:16.752 --> 00:06:19.222
We have a true, wholesome fear of the lord
00:06:19.222 --> 00:06:21.657
In the right way as his sons, amen,
00:06:21.657 --> 00:06:24.126
As his daughters, all right?
00:06:24.126 --> 00:06:25.495
So you can trust jesus when he says
00:06:25.495 --> 00:06:27.063
Something of prophecy is going to happen.
00:06:27.063 --> 00:06:29.565
I'm not talking about the crazy, crazy stuff that you see
00:06:29.565 --> 00:06:31.767
On youtube and those things and all that.
00:06:31.767 --> 00:06:33.669
There are end times here, end times there.
00:06:33.669 --> 00:06:35.471
A lot of doom and gloom teaching.
00:06:35.471 --> 00:06:37.240
I'm talking about the accurate end time teaching
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.841
Of our lord jesus christ based on the bible,
00:06:38.841 --> 00:06:41.611
Based on the scriptures, what jesus talked about it.
00:06:41.611 --> 00:06:44.380
And then jesus tells us that all these things will happen,
00:06:44.380 --> 00:06:47.450
"but lift up your heads.
00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:48.784
Your redemption draws nigh."
00:06:48.784 --> 00:06:50.553
Now what does that mean, "your redemption draws nigh"?
00:06:50.553 --> 00:06:52.522
He's saying your bodily redemption
00:06:52.522 --> 00:06:54.290
Draws near.
00:06:54.290 --> 00:06:55.625
In other words, you're going to have your—
00:06:55.625 --> 00:06:57.326
Don't forget, we're not going to heaven, amen,
00:06:57.326 --> 00:06:59.562
Floating on a cloud, playing a harp.
00:06:59.562 --> 00:07:04.667
You float through me, pass by me,
00:07:04.667 --> 00:07:06.802
And then we float through a tree,
00:07:06.802 --> 00:07:08.504
We float through a mansion.
00:07:08.504 --> 00:07:09.906
It's not like that. we'll have a body.
00:07:09.906 --> 00:07:12.742
The bible says our bodies will be transformed
00:07:12.742 --> 00:07:15.244
Like unto jesus's glorious body.
00:07:15.244 --> 00:07:17.980
Can i have a good amen?
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:19.315
So it is a bodily redemption that we're waiting for.
00:07:19.315 --> 00:07:22.051
And that's why the bible-- the scriptural attitude
00:07:22.051 --> 00:07:24.587
For the christian is not to look forward to death.
00:07:24.587 --> 00:07:28.357
The scriptural attitude for the posture of the christian
00:07:28.357 --> 00:07:31.694
Is to look forward for the blessed appearing
00:07:31.694 --> 00:07:33.796
Of our lord and savior jesus christ.
00:07:33.796 --> 00:07:35.731
You see, in titus, it says very clearly in titus,
00:07:35.731 --> 00:07:38.167
"for the grace of god that brings salvation
00:07:38.167 --> 00:07:42.705
Has appeared to all men."
00:07:42.705 --> 00:07:44.040
People say, "pastor prince, you say grace is a person.
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.142
Where do you get that from?" from here.
00:07:46.142 --> 00:07:48.044
Grace has appeared, epiphaino, become visible.
00:07:48.044 --> 00:07:52.748
Grace is a person.
00:07:52.748 --> 00:07:54.450
So i'm going to show you grace in three dimensions real quick,
00:07:54.450 --> 00:07:56.652
All right?
00:07:56.652 --> 00:07:57.987
This is the past.
00:07:57.987 --> 00:07:59.322
The grace that brings salvation, that's jesus, has appeared.
00:07:59.322 --> 00:08:02.124
Grace has appeared, become visible.
00:08:02.124 --> 00:08:04.393
Well, that's grace in the past, all right?
00:08:04.393 --> 00:08:06.596
Now grace in the present, teaching us
00:08:06.596 --> 00:08:08.097
That denying ungodliness-- "there it is, pastor prince.
00:08:08.097 --> 00:08:10.700
You must teach people to deny ungodliness."
00:08:10.700 --> 00:08:12.435
Hey, listen.
00:08:12.435 --> 00:08:13.769
It's the grace of god that's teaching.
00:08:13.769 --> 00:08:16.105
I say it's the grace of god that is teaching.
00:08:16.105 --> 00:08:18.274
We teach grace, and grace will teach people.
00:08:18.274 --> 00:08:20.910
All the testimonies that i share with you of people,
00:08:20.910 --> 00:08:23.045
They don't want to be in this addiction.
00:08:23.045 --> 00:08:24.614
They don't want to be in this bondage, amen?
00:08:24.614 --> 00:08:27.516
So the grace of god, this is present.
00:08:27.516 --> 00:08:29.018
This is grace in the present.
00:08:29.018 --> 00:08:30.386
So we have grace in the past.
00:08:30.386 --> 00:08:31.721
Now we have grace present, "teaching us that,
00:08:31.721 --> 00:08:33.356
Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
00:08:33.356 --> 00:08:35.658
We should live soberly, righteously,
00:08:35.658 --> 00:08:37.593
And godly in the present age."
00:08:37.593 --> 00:08:40.129
All right, now grace in the future.
00:08:40.129 --> 00:08:43.099
This is a posture for all believers.
00:08:43.099 --> 00:08:44.900
"looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing
00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:48.337
Of our great god and savior jesus christ."
00:08:48.337 --> 00:08:51.440
Notice jesus is called great god here, amen?
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.943
He's not just a person.
00:08:53.943 --> 00:08:55.544
He's verily god and verily man, amen.
00:08:55.544 --> 00:08:57.813
The great god.
00:08:57.813 --> 00:08:59.148
So what is our posture? we don't look forward to death.
00:08:59.148 --> 00:09:01.117
We look forward to the appearing of our great god and savior
00:09:01.117 --> 00:09:03.486
Jesus christ.
00:09:03.486 --> 00:09:04.820
Unfortunately, there are some grace teachers
00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:07.189
Today, all right, you know, quite flippantly,
00:09:07.189 --> 00:09:11.127
They say things like, "ah, you know, there's no such thing
00:09:11.127 --> 00:09:13.629
As the rapture, all right?
00:09:13.629 --> 00:09:14.997
Rapture is someone's concoction in the 18th century."
00:09:14.997 --> 00:09:18.634
Let me tell you this, all right?
00:09:18.634 --> 00:09:20.269
Whenever you don't believe something
00:09:20.269 --> 00:09:22.605
That is in the scriptures, when you don't believe
00:09:22.605 --> 00:09:24.607
The truth, some lie is reigning in your life.
00:09:24.607 --> 00:09:30.746
If you are believing the truth, okay,
00:09:30.746 --> 00:09:34.717
The holy spirit is called the spirit of truth.
00:09:34.717 --> 00:09:37.219
He will bear witness and there will be
00:09:37.219 --> 00:09:39.722
Certain kind of experiences in your life
00:09:39.722 --> 00:09:41.957
That will attest to that.
00:09:41.957 --> 00:09:43.793
But if you're believing a lie, the spirit of truth
00:09:43.793 --> 00:09:46.696
Cannot attest to that because it's called
00:09:46.696 --> 00:09:49.832
The spirit of truth.
00:09:49.832 --> 00:09:51.434
And that's the reason why the posture for many believers
00:09:51.434 --> 00:09:54.637
Is to look forward to death.
00:09:54.637 --> 00:09:56.238
You know, we see the world being the way it is right now.
00:09:56.238 --> 00:09:58.741
We say, "well, you know what?
00:09:58.741 --> 00:10:00.276
We just have to endure through it,"
00:10:00.276 --> 00:10:02.111
And all that.
00:10:02.111 --> 00:10:03.446
No, friend, the christian posture,
00:10:03.446 --> 00:10:05.147
Even paul--paul didn't know when the rapture would happen.
00:10:05.147 --> 00:10:07.750
And the rapture does not need israel
00:10:07.750 --> 00:10:09.118
To come back as a nation, all right?
00:10:09.118 --> 00:10:10.886
The rapture needs no signs or whatever.
00:10:10.886 --> 00:10:13.923
It can happen anytime.
00:10:13.923 --> 00:10:15.958
In fact, i believe we are that generation.
00:10:15.958 --> 00:10:17.660
It's my own personal belief, okay?
00:10:17.660 --> 00:10:19.995
The bible doesn't say that, okay?
00:10:19.995 --> 00:10:21.997
I really believe very soon we'll be out of here, amen.
00:10:21.997 --> 00:10:25.101
You see the posture? we have grace in the past.
00:10:25.101 --> 00:10:27.837
We have grace in the present.
00:10:27.837 --> 00:10:29.171
We have grace in the future.
00:10:29.171 --> 00:10:30.639
Looking for the blessed--
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:31.974
And that's the christian attitude.
00:10:31.974 --> 00:10:33.442
And sometimes, unfortunately, there are great men,
00:10:33.442 --> 00:10:35.945
There are wonderful, great men of god
00:10:35.945 --> 00:10:37.947
That will say things like, "you know,
00:10:37.947 --> 00:10:39.281
Whether there's a rapture or not,
00:10:39.281 --> 00:10:40.616
It doesn't really matter.
00:10:40.616 --> 00:10:41.951
I'm a guy who believes in pan tribulation."
00:10:41.951 --> 00:10:46.655
What's that? "oh, i'm not post, i'm not trib.
00:10:46.655 --> 00:10:49.024
It will all pan out."
00:10:49.024 --> 00:10:51.560
Yeah, very funny, okay?
00:10:51.560 --> 00:10:52.895
People laugh and they kinda think--
00:10:52.895 --> 00:10:54.230
Let me tell you this.
00:10:54.230 --> 00:10:55.564
It shows our ignorance because in the bible,
00:10:55.564 --> 00:10:57.333
Almost every book that paul wrote,
00:10:57.333 --> 00:10:58.934
Paul talked about the second coming, okay?
00:10:58.934 --> 00:11:02.171
The second coming of christ is when he returns to earth
00:11:02.171 --> 00:11:05.241
With his saints.
00:11:05.241 --> 00:11:06.575
But there is a rapture-- a rapture.
00:11:06.575 --> 00:11:08.811
Now someone said, even some grace teachers
00:11:08.811 --> 00:11:11.180
And all that will say things.
00:11:11.180 --> 00:11:12.515
"rapture is a concoction of 18th century,"
00:11:12.515 --> 00:11:14.984
All right?
00:11:14.984 --> 00:11:16.318
Some group came out and say, "okay, the rapture."
00:11:16.318 --> 00:11:18.120
"pastor prince, where do you find the word 'rapture'?"
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.722
Let me ask you, where do you find the word "trinity,"
00:11:19.722 --> 00:11:23.759
All right?
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.094
The truth is there. the word is not.
00:11:25.094 --> 00:11:27.129
The word is coined to help us understand, okay?
00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:29.698
Like triune god, trinity is not found
00:11:29.698 --> 00:11:31.700
In the bible, but father, son, holy spirit is, amen?
00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:34.837
One god.
00:11:34.837 --> 00:11:36.172
Praise god.
00:11:36.172 --> 00:11:37.506
But the word "harpazo" is to snatch away.
00:11:37.506 --> 00:11:40.843
That's in the bible, all right?
00:11:40.843 --> 00:11:42.178
He will catch us away.
00:11:42.178 --> 00:11:43.512
The catching away of the church.
00:11:43.512 --> 00:11:45.181
And someone says, "well, if that's the case,
00:11:45.181 --> 00:11:47.183
It's like a escape clause, you know?
00:11:47.183 --> 00:11:49.618
An escape where--" well, you know what?
00:11:49.618 --> 00:11:50.986
If i'm in a burning tower, i will take any escape.
00:11:50.986 --> 00:11:55.858
I got no problem saying escape, all right?
00:11:55.858 --> 00:11:58.327
"the church is just waiting to escape."
00:11:58.327 --> 00:12:00.396
Hey, look at the world as it is.
00:12:00.396 --> 00:12:02.064
I'm waiting for a way to escape, amen?
00:12:02.064 --> 00:12:04.800
And if the lord opens the door, then there are great men of god
00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:06.969
Saying things like, "it doesn't really matter,
00:12:06.969 --> 00:12:08.537
It will all pan out, you know.
00:12:08.537 --> 00:12:09.905
You know, we all know it sooner or later,"
00:12:09.905 --> 00:12:12.107
But that's a bad attitude.
00:12:12.107 --> 00:12:13.442
It's not expectant.
00:12:13.442 --> 00:12:14.844
It's not a blessed hope.
00:12:14.844 --> 00:12:17.479
And when we don't believe the bible,
00:12:17.479 --> 00:12:19.114
We all suffer and our congregation suffer,
00:12:19.114 --> 00:12:22.218
Amen, for not believing that.
00:12:22.218 --> 00:12:23.552
I'll tell you what happens when moses--
00:12:23.552 --> 00:12:25.487
A type of christ, okay?
00:12:25.487 --> 00:12:27.990
When moses delayed his coming down the mountain,
00:12:27.990 --> 00:12:30.559
What did the people say?
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.994
He delayed his coming. what was the result?
00:12:31.994 --> 00:12:34.296
A golden calf.
00:12:34.296 --> 00:12:35.731
Once the blessed hope is not brought
00:12:35.731 --> 00:12:37.800
Before the people, people become worldly.
00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:41.036
Everyone that has this hope in him
00:12:41.036 --> 00:12:42.938
Purifies himself.
00:12:42.938 --> 00:12:44.607
Pastors and leaders, you stop preaching
00:12:44.607 --> 00:12:46.208
The gospel of grace and hope, you stop preaching the grace
00:12:46.208 --> 00:12:50.679
For the future, all right,
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:52.214
Believing in his coming, your people become worldly.
00:12:52.214 --> 00:12:56.285
And the only thing they can look forward to
00:12:56.285 --> 00:12:57.620
Is death.
00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:59.221
But for the believer, we are looking forward
00:12:59.221 --> 00:13:00.556
For the rapture.
00:13:00.556 --> 00:13:02.024
And the rapture is nothing more than
00:13:02.024 --> 00:13:03.425
Our bodily redemption.
00:13:03.425 --> 00:13:05.761
Now the apostle paul says it like this.
00:13:05.761 --> 00:13:08.631
The first person that shared on rapture is jesus.
00:13:08.631 --> 00:13:11.934
Jesus says, "let not your heart be troubled,"
00:13:11.934 --> 00:13:14.637
When you see all the things happening in the world.
00:13:14.637 --> 00:13:16.272
"let not your heart be troubled.
00:13:16.272 --> 00:13:19.174
You believe in god, believe also in me," he said.
00:13:19.174 --> 00:13:21.644
"in my father's house are many mansions.
00:13:21.644 --> 00:13:24.813
I go and prepare a place for you.
00:13:24.813 --> 00:13:27.616
And if i go and prepare a place for you,
00:13:27.616 --> 00:13:29.251
I will come again and receive you unto myself."
00:13:29.251 --> 00:13:33.422
Now this is not the second coming of christ.
00:13:33.422 --> 00:13:35.958
Second coming of christ, he will come back in judgment.
00:13:35.958 --> 00:13:39.094
I said he's coming back in judgment
00:13:39.094 --> 00:13:40.496
To judge this earth, amen.
00:13:40.496 --> 00:13:42.932
Yes, there is judgment, but it's not for us.
00:13:42.932 --> 00:13:46.769
We who believe in christ, that christ is our savior,
00:13:46.769 --> 00:13:50.072
He took our sins on the cross, we have passed
00:13:50.072 --> 00:13:52.408
From judgment unto life, amen.
00:13:52.408 --> 00:13:55.377
But he's going to return to this earth.
00:13:55.377 --> 00:13:56.712
Don't forget, he made this earth,
00:13:56.712 --> 00:13:58.580
And he didn't make this earth the way it is today, amen.
00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:02.184
He made this earth to be filled with harmony, peace, joy,
00:14:02.184 --> 00:14:05.020
Happiness, celebration, amen?
00:14:05.020 --> 00:14:07.323
He didn't make this earth to be what it is.
00:14:07.323 --> 00:14:09.291
Man has destroyed this earth, but he's returning, hallelujah.
00:14:09.291 --> 00:14:12.628
And he'll set this earth right.
00:14:12.628 --> 00:14:14.129
And the bible says he's going to reign on earth
00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:16.031
For 1,000 years, amen, before we are back in heaven.
00:14:16.031 --> 00:14:19.034
And the bible tells us that he's going to come back
00:14:19.034 --> 00:14:20.769
As a judge.
00:14:20.769 --> 00:14:22.104
That's the second coming of christ.
00:14:22.104 --> 00:14:23.439
The rapture is not the second coming of christ.
00:14:23.439 --> 00:14:24.773
The rapture is the appearing of christ up in heaven,
00:14:24.773 --> 00:14:28.277
And then surely our bodies are transformed.
00:14:28.277 --> 00:14:29.778
Paul says it like this, 1 corinthians 15.
00:14:29.778 --> 00:14:32.848
"behold, i show you a mystery."
00:14:32.848 --> 00:14:34.817
Now what is a mystery?
00:14:34.817 --> 00:14:36.151
A mystery is something hidden in the past
00:14:36.151 --> 00:14:39.154
But now revealed to us, to us who are initiated.
00:14:39.154 --> 00:14:43.392
In other words, those of us that god is calling, amen,
00:14:43.392 --> 00:14:46.528
Those of us who are saved, god reveals the secret to you,
00:14:46.528 --> 00:14:49.298
The divine secret, the mystery.
00:14:49.298 --> 00:14:51.800
And paul says, "behold, i show you a mystery.
00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:53.669
We shall not all sleep."
00:14:53.669 --> 00:14:55.738
And the word "sleep" means there pass on,
00:14:55.738 --> 00:14:57.740
Die, all right?
00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:59.074
He used the word, "we shall not all sleep,
00:14:59.074 --> 00:15:01.377
But we shall all be changed in a moment,
00:15:01.377 --> 00:15:05.714
In the twinkling of an eye."
00:15:05.714 --> 00:15:07.182
In the greek, atomic second, which is so fast, all right,
00:15:07.182 --> 00:15:09.985
You see the twinkle, but you don't see it anymore.
00:15:09.985 --> 00:15:11.720
And that's how fast our bodies will change.
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:14.757
And the bible says the world won't see us go up.
00:15:14.757 --> 00:15:18.594
The news media won't see us go up.
00:15:18.594 --> 00:15:21.096
Your friend won't see you go up.
00:15:21.096 --> 00:15:22.765
In fact, your family members will not be able
00:15:22.765 --> 00:15:24.366
To see you go up.
00:15:24.366 --> 00:15:25.701
Or if you're in office, they won't see you go up.
00:15:25.701 --> 00:15:27.436
It will happen so fast, you are here and you're gone.
00:15:27.436 --> 00:15:30.706
They won't see jesus come for you, amen.
00:15:30.706 --> 00:15:32.941
That's why the devil is preparing the world today
00:15:32.941 --> 00:15:35.778
To believe for--to believe.
00:15:35.778 --> 00:15:38.547
In fact, they'd rather believe in ufos
00:15:38.547 --> 00:15:40.215
Than to believe in god, amen.
00:15:40.215 --> 00:15:43.352
They believe in something unidentified
00:15:43.352 --> 00:15:45.654
Than what is identified in the scriptures for us, amen?
00:15:45.654 --> 00:15:49.391
They believe in these objects, okay,
00:15:49.391 --> 00:15:51.160
That will snatch people away, so they have movies
00:15:51.160 --> 00:15:52.795
Like "the invasion of the body snatchers,"
00:15:52.795 --> 00:15:56.532
All right, "close encounters."
00:15:56.532 --> 00:15:57.866
And when we all disappear, they will say that, "yeah,
00:15:57.866 --> 00:15:59.601
This christian element is an evil element, all right?
00:15:59.601 --> 00:16:01.937
The ufos took them away to brainwash them.
00:16:01.937 --> 00:16:04.239
Maybe one day they'll bring them back."
00:16:04.239 --> 00:16:05.674
Now, the apostle paul said this in thessalonians.
00:16:05.674 --> 00:16:11.547
And the church of thessalonians, when paul wrote to them,
00:16:11.547 --> 00:16:14.917
They were just about one year, one year-plus old christian.
00:16:14.917 --> 00:16:18.554
They were very young christian.
00:16:18.554 --> 00:16:19.888
Some people say, you know, "rapture and all that,
00:16:19.888 --> 00:16:21.323
It's not for young christians to study and all that."
00:16:21.323 --> 00:16:23.158
I mean, they are one-year-old christians,
00:16:23.158 --> 00:16:25.027
And paul wrote to them, and paul said by the spirit,
00:16:25.027 --> 00:16:28.297
"for this i say to you by the word of the lord."
00:16:28.297 --> 00:16:31.400
It's not paul's opinion.
00:16:31.400 --> 00:16:33.302
"this i say to you by the word of the lord,
00:16:33.302 --> 00:16:35.904
That we who are alive and remain will not proceed,
00:16:35.904 --> 00:16:40.042
That the lord will descend from heaven
00:16:40.042 --> 00:16:41.677
With a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
00:16:41.677 --> 00:16:44.012
Then we who are alive and remain,"
00:16:44.012 --> 00:16:46.115
Not we who are faithful and obedient,
00:16:46.115 --> 00:16:49.151
Important as that is, but we who are alive,
00:16:49.151 --> 00:16:51.720
We believers who are alive, not for the world,
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.956
"we who are alive and remain, we are still alive,
00:16:53.956 --> 00:16:56.992
Shall be caught up together."
00:16:56.992 --> 00:16:58.961
That's the word "harpazo." that's the rapture.
00:16:58.961 --> 00:17:00.996
"shall be caught up together to meet the lord in the air.
00:17:00.996 --> 00:17:05.467
And the dead in christ shall rise first
00:17:05.467 --> 00:17:07.569
And then we will rise with them."
00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:08.904
All happen in a atomic second. we get new bodies.
00:17:08.904 --> 00:17:12.841
We're not floating around in heaven without a body.
00:17:12.841 --> 00:17:15.878
We have new bodies.
00:17:15.878 --> 00:17:17.212
And straight away, you are forever young,
00:17:17.212 --> 00:17:19.581
Forever healthy, forever strong,
00:17:19.581 --> 00:17:22.151
Forever never ever feeling bored,
00:17:22.151 --> 00:17:24.286
Never feel fatigued, never feel tired.
00:17:24.286 --> 00:17:26.355
You are forever in that body.
00:17:26.355 --> 00:17:27.756
Forever is a pretty long time.
00:17:27.756 --> 00:17:30.225
And sure, you are booked in this first flight, amen?
00:17:30.225 --> 00:17:36.298
I'm here to tell you, church, this is bible.
00:17:36.298 --> 00:17:39.535
Everything the bible says has come to pass, amen?
00:17:39.535 --> 00:17:43.338
"well, pastor prince, science has proven--"
00:17:43.338 --> 00:17:45.741
Science is behind the bible.
00:17:45.741 --> 00:17:48.710
Do you know science one time, science says
00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:50.245
There's no such thing as the hittites?
00:17:50.245 --> 00:17:52.314
The hittites existed long before egypt existed.
00:17:52.314 --> 00:17:55.250
And in the book of exodus about the children of israel
00:17:55.250 --> 00:17:58.720
In egypt, in slavery and moses.
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:01.323
And moses wrote about the hittites.
00:18:01.323 --> 00:18:02.991
But we know, discoveries show that hittites actually existed
00:18:02.991 --> 00:18:06.461
Long after, you know, so moses must be written
00:18:06.461 --> 00:18:10.499
Way after moses's time.
00:18:10.499 --> 00:18:12.067
No, my friend. now they have discovered.
00:18:12.067 --> 00:18:13.902
So in other words, you know, archaeology is playing catch up.
00:18:13.902 --> 00:18:18.273
Its knowledge is incomplete depending on how fast
00:18:18.273 --> 00:18:20.509
You uncover, amen.
00:18:20.509 --> 00:18:23.378
Now they say, "oh, the hittites were as great
00:18:23.378 --> 00:18:26.748
Or maybe even a greater civilization
00:18:26.748 --> 00:18:28.617
Than egypt back then," why?
00:18:28.617 --> 00:18:30.852
They found hittites at the time of moses.
00:18:30.852 --> 00:18:34.990
So whenever you hear something that people say,
00:18:34.990 --> 00:18:37.492
"wait, it's not complete yet," whatever they say:
00:18:37.492 --> 00:18:39.728
"archaeologists discovered this.
00:18:39.728 --> 00:18:41.063
Oh, they found an ancient man." just hang on first.
00:18:41.063 --> 00:18:44.866
The bible says man didn't come from monkeys.
00:18:44.866 --> 00:18:47.970
God made man in his image, all right?
00:18:47.970 --> 00:18:51.273
Monkeys are still around.
00:18:51.273 --> 00:18:52.674
So if they say, "oh, we found something in between.
00:18:52.674 --> 00:18:54.476
We found something in between."
00:18:54.476 --> 00:18:55.811
All right, just wait for a while, all right?
00:18:55.811 --> 00:18:58.013
Science and archaeology is always evolving.
00:18:58.013 --> 00:19:01.483
The bible is already there, complete, amen?
00:19:01.483 --> 00:19:04.286
So the thing is this, all right?
00:19:04.286 --> 00:19:06.922
God said all these things, and then god said
00:19:06.922 --> 00:19:09.825
There will be a rapture for the church.
00:19:09.825 --> 00:19:12.561
Yes, it's an escape, praise god.
00:19:12.561 --> 00:19:15.130
Blessed escape. blissful escape.
00:19:15.130 --> 00:19:17.399
Oh yes, and hallelujah!
00:19:17.399 --> 00:19:19.401
"god so loved the world, he sent his son,"
00:19:19.401 --> 00:19:21.570
And jesus died on that cross.
00:19:21.570 --> 00:19:23.238
He hung there for you and i.
00:19:23.238 --> 00:19:24.973
He bore our judgment and all the sins
00:19:24.973 --> 00:19:27.142
That you have ever committed or that you will ever commit
00:19:27.142 --> 00:19:29.444
In your life was borne by jesus at the cross,
00:19:29.444 --> 00:19:32.414
And your sins have all, every one of them,
00:19:32.414 --> 00:19:34.683
Been punished.
00:19:34.683 --> 00:19:36.718
So today, god cannot punish you for the sins
00:19:36.718 --> 00:19:39.721
That he punished his son for.
00:19:39.721 --> 00:19:41.490
His son bore your sins.
00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:42.824
It's called the law of double jeopardy,
00:19:42.824 --> 00:19:44.960
Which means the same sin cannot be punished,
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.162
The same crime cannot be tried twice.
00:19:47.162 --> 00:19:50.732
If it's done that way, god will become unjust.
00:19:50.732 --> 00:19:53.435
So god arranged everything in such a way.
00:19:53.435 --> 00:19:55.337
God did not compromise his righteousness.
00:19:55.337 --> 00:19:57.272
God did not bend over his strictness or his justice,
00:19:57.272 --> 00:20:00.642
Amen, or requirement of holiness.
00:20:00.642 --> 00:20:02.511
God actually reconciled them in the cross of jesus christ.
00:20:02.511 --> 00:20:06.782
God's holiness has been glorified.
00:20:06.782 --> 00:20:08.917
His love heart has been expressed, amen.
00:20:08.917 --> 00:20:11.820
And today, when you come to god, god's righteousness
00:20:11.820 --> 00:20:14.189
Is on your side, amen?
00:20:14.189 --> 00:20:16.692
That's the gospel in a nutshell, people.
00:20:16.692 --> 00:20:18.760
So this rapture, the truth of rapture
00:20:18.760 --> 00:20:21.196
Is a blessed hope.
00:20:21.196 --> 00:20:23.031
It can happen anytime. it can happen tonight.
00:20:23.031 --> 00:20:25.334
It can happen next week. it can happen afterwards, amen?
00:20:25.334 --> 00:20:29.204
You ready?
00:20:29.204 --> 00:20:30.672
Whether you are ready or not, you are going up
00:20:30.672 --> 00:20:32.040
If you are born again, amen?
00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:35.610
And we'll discuss, all right, later on whether you're right
00:20:35.610 --> 00:20:38.246
Or wrong, all right, on the way up.
00:20:38.246 --> 00:20:42.217
And there are those who say, "well, rapture is a concoction,
00:20:42.217 --> 00:20:45.787
A theory, that came out in the 1800s
00:20:45.787 --> 00:20:50.325
By a group of people."
00:20:50.325 --> 00:20:52.160
You know what i found out?
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.895
Who knows who is matthew henry?
00:20:53.895 --> 00:20:56.231
The very famous bible commentator.
00:20:56.231 --> 00:20:58.233
Matthew henry lived in the 1600s.
00:20:58.233 --> 00:21:00.836
And when he wrote his bible commentary,
00:21:00.836 --> 00:21:03.105
Matthew henry probably was the first person
00:21:03.105 --> 00:21:04.906
To say the word, "rapture."
00:21:04.906 --> 00:21:07.542
And that was the 1600s, not 1800s, amen?
00:21:07.542 --> 00:21:12.647
The truth of the rapture
00:21:12.647 --> 00:21:14.249
Is throughout the entire old testament.
00:21:14.249 --> 00:21:16.084
Enoch walked with god.
00:21:16.084 --> 00:21:17.719
Enoch was not because god took him.
00:21:17.719 --> 00:21:20.822
Elijah, he looked up, and all of a sudden
00:21:20.822 --> 00:21:23.525
He crossed the river jordan and the chariots of god
00:21:23.525 --> 00:21:26.128
And the horsemen thereof and all the angels
00:21:26.128 --> 00:21:27.662
Came to receive him.
00:21:27.662 --> 00:21:28.997
He wasn't dead.
00:21:28.997 --> 00:21:30.332
Elisha saw him go up and yell, "avi, avi, my father,
00:21:30.332 --> 00:21:33.335
My father!"
00:21:33.335 --> 00:21:34.669
And the mantle of elijah fell on elisha,
00:21:34.669 --> 00:21:37.939
And he went up in the rapture.
00:21:37.939 --> 00:21:39.574
He did not die.
00:21:39.574 --> 00:21:41.576
And then when jesus rose from the dead,
00:21:41.576 --> 00:21:43.345
The bible says the bodies of all the dead saints
00:21:43.345 --> 00:21:45.280
In jerusalem and in all israel rose up with him.
00:21:45.280 --> 00:21:48.650
They're the first fruits rapture,
00:21:48.650 --> 00:21:50.619
Which means many others are coming.
00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:52.621
They were the tithes, so to speak.
00:21:52.621 --> 00:21:54.122
When jesus rose from the dead, the bible says
00:21:54.122 --> 00:21:56.024
When he showed himself, all of them showed themselves
00:21:56.024 --> 00:21:58.326
To other people who are alive in jerusalem.
00:21:58.326 --> 00:22:00.896
Rapture, the truth of rapture,
00:22:00.896 --> 00:22:02.664
Is throughout the entire bible, amen.
00:22:02.664 --> 00:22:05.100
It's not the first time god raptured people, amen.
00:22:05.100 --> 00:22:07.602
It's going to happen again.
00:22:07.602 --> 00:22:09.604
We'll be raptured. get ready.
00:22:09.604 --> 00:22:13.074
That's our blessed hope.
00:22:13.074 --> 00:22:14.709
And everyone that has this hope purifies himself.
00:22:14.709 --> 00:22:19.181
The bible says comfort one another
00:22:19.181 --> 00:22:20.515
With these words.
00:22:20.515 --> 00:22:23.118
Mothers, you who have lost a child,
00:22:23.118 --> 00:22:27.923
You'll see your child again.
00:22:27.923 --> 00:22:31.092
You've lost a grandfather.
00:22:31.092 --> 00:22:32.427
Every time you hear that song, it reminds you of your granddad.
00:22:32.427 --> 00:22:35.730
You're going to see him again.
00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:37.232
Except that he's going to be young, amen.
00:22:37.232 --> 00:22:41.169
All the loved ones that you kind of wish
00:22:41.169 --> 00:22:44.573
You had said something better to them
00:22:44.573 --> 00:22:46.341
Or you spend time with them, well, you will get to, amen.
00:22:46.341 --> 00:22:53.648
That's the truth of scripture.
00:22:53.648 --> 00:22:55.817
The problem is that don't listen to this man's opinion,
00:22:55.817 --> 00:22:58.553
That man's opinion.
00:22:58.553 --> 00:22:59.888
Today, you listen to end times.
00:22:59.888 --> 00:23:01.223
Man, there are so many teachings on end times,
00:23:01.223 --> 00:23:02.691
They just produce doom and gloom.
00:23:02.691 --> 00:23:04.626
Go to the bible.
00:23:04.626 --> 00:23:06.661
See what the bible says about end times and the rapture.
00:23:06.661 --> 00:23:09.164
And how often in paul's letters, almost every letter of paul,
00:23:09.164 --> 00:23:12.200
Except galatians, all right?
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:14.069
Every other letter, he touched on the coming of christ,
00:23:14.069 --> 00:23:17.372
The appearing of christ as the blessed hope.
00:23:17.372 --> 00:23:20.342
Go to your scriptures. ask yourself.
00:23:20.342 --> 00:23:22.878
Don't believe a denomination.
00:23:22.878 --> 00:23:24.646
Don't even believe pastor prince.
00:23:24.646 --> 00:23:26.381
See what is in scriptures, amen?
00:23:26.381 --> 00:23:30.819

And the blessings of deuteronomy 28.
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.423
The lord has given you all things

The lord himself keep you and your loved ones

Male: we get people asking us, you know,
00:25:35.310 --> 00:25:36.678
How in the world do you do an online church?
00:25:36.678 --> 00:25:39.114
And we gather in our living room and we sing and we praise
00:25:39.114 --> 00:25:42.684
And then we sit there and we take in the word
00:25:42.684 --> 00:25:44.953
And then afterward you can talk about it.
00:25:44.953 --> 00:25:46.821

00:25:46.821 --> 00:25:49.024

You know, doing the online church.
00:25:55.930 --> 00:25:57.465

00:26:13.748 --> 00:26:15.684
Announcer: because church is not where you meet,
00:26:15.684 --> 00:26:18.119

It helps us to make that connection,
00:26:26.661 --> 00:26:28.997
That i can't see god
00:26:28.997 --> 00:26:30.331
And i'm not in the same room as him, but he loves me.
