Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Hope Is Missing In The Last Days | March 26, 2026
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.887
- Joseph prince: 1 thessalonians, he says,
- 00:00:13.089 --> 00:00:14.290
- "your work of faith, your labor of love,
- 00:00:14.424 --> 00:00:17.360
- Your patience of hope," so faith, hope, and love.
- 00:00:17.494 --> 00:00:21.064
- But do you know something?
- 00:00:21.197 --> 00:00:22.398
- By the way, we know what's faith.
- 00:00:22.532 --> 00:00:23.733
- Faith is still being taught today.
- 00:00:23.867 --> 00:00:24.501
- We know what's love.
- 00:00:25.068 --> 00:00:26.402
- Love has been preached, thank god.
- 00:00:26.402 --> 00:00:27.737
- But hope, the blessed hope, is now forgotten.
- 00:00:27.737 --> 00:00:31.841
- Are you listening, people?
- 00:00:31.841 --> 00:00:33.510
- In other words, people are now thinking that,
- 00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:36.513
- Oh, it's not practical to preach the second coming.
- 00:00:36.513 --> 00:00:38.414
- You've got different views, that kind of thing.
- 00:00:38.414 --> 00:00:39.916
- The devil has so deceived people
- 00:00:39.916 --> 00:00:43.153
- That they are no longer preaching
- 00:00:43.153 --> 00:00:44.487
- Something that will give them hope.
- 00:00:44.487 --> 00:00:46.022
- 2 thessalonians, the first chapter, in verse 3,
- 00:00:46.022 --> 00:00:49.692
- Paul says, "your faith is growing exceedingly.
- 00:00:49.692 --> 00:00:52.562
- Your love increases," but he never mentioned hope.
- 00:00:52.562 --> 00:00:55.832
- What happened? they lost the hope.
- 00:00:55.832 --> 00:00:57.167
- The people were waiting for the rapture.
- 00:00:57.167 --> 00:00:58.501
- They did not know when it's going to happen.
- 00:00:58.501 --> 00:01:00.036
- And today we see people thinking, "when is it?
- 00:01:00.036 --> 00:01:03.673
- You know, pastor prince,
- 00:01:03.673 --> 00:01:05.108
- We've been waiting for a long time.
- 00:01:05.108 --> 00:01:06.442
- I believe that those who preach second coming and all that,
- 00:01:06.442 --> 00:01:08.278
- It's just confusion and it's not practical."
- 00:01:08.278 --> 00:01:10.380
- Who told you it's not practical?
- 00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:11.714
- The more you see the second coming of christ,
- 00:01:11.714 --> 00:01:13.049
- The more you see the money
- 00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:14.551
- And whatever god has blessed you with as tools.
- 00:01:14.551 --> 00:01:19.422
- You learn to live life in such a way
- 00:01:19.422 --> 00:01:21.457
- That you are focused on his coming, amen.
- 00:01:21.457 --> 00:01:25.328
- You have hope.
- 00:01:25.328 --> 00:01:27.397
- Announcer: how would you spend today
- 00:01:27.397 --> 00:01:28.731
- If you knew tomorrow was the rapture?
- 00:01:28.731 --> 00:01:31.134
- We've seen enough movies to have an idea,
- 00:01:31.134 --> 00:01:33.002
- But what does the bible really say?
- 00:01:33.002 --> 00:01:35.271
- In today's message, joseph prince
- 00:01:35.271 --> 00:01:36.973
- Unpacks this blessed hope
- 00:01:36.973 --> 00:01:39.008
- And reveals powerful truths about the last days.
- 00:01:39.008 --> 00:01:42.178
- When you think about the rapture,
- 00:01:42.178 --> 00:01:43.546
- Have you ever wondered, "will i be left behind,"
- 00:01:43.546 --> 00:01:46.416
- "will the end times be filled with fear"?
- 00:01:46.416 --> 00:01:49.319
- In his book, "ready for the rapture,"
- 00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.221
- Joseph reveals why the rapture
- 00:01:51.221 --> 00:01:52.722
- Is not a reason to fear, but a promise of peace,
- 00:01:52.722 --> 00:01:55.625
- Security, hope, and joy in these last days.
- 00:01:55.625 --> 00:01:59.329

- Walk in confidence when things feel dark and uncertain,
- 00:02:03.333 --> 00:02:06.302
- And shine with the light of christ
- 00:02:06.302 --> 00:02:08.004

- 00:02:08.004 --> 00:02:10.106

- Announcer: and now, here is pastor joseph prince
- 00:02:40.336 --> 00:02:42.605
- With today's program.
- 00:02:42.605 --> 00:02:44.040
- Joseph prince: we are now in the season of the rapture.
- 00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:46.609
- We know we are in the season but no one can give you
- 00:02:46.609 --> 00:02:48.578
- The date nor the day because jesus himself says,
- 00:02:48.578 --> 00:02:50.546
- "no one knows the day nor the hour."
- 00:02:50.546 --> 00:02:53.316
- But we know the season.
- 00:02:53.316 --> 00:02:54.851
- We are not children of the night.
- 00:02:54.851 --> 00:02:56.386
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:02:56.386 --> 00:02:57.720
- So we're waiting for our bridegroom.
- 00:02:57.720 --> 00:02:59.355
- So when he comes, he can come in the middle of the night
- 00:02:59.355 --> 00:03:01.891
- Like the parable of our lord said.
- 00:03:01.891 --> 00:03:04.227
- And when he shouts, the bride is ready.
- 00:03:04.227 --> 00:03:07.397
- Are you listening, people, amen?
- 00:03:07.397 --> 00:03:09.632
- And then he will take the bride
- 00:03:09.632 --> 00:03:11.234
- To his house that he has prepared
- 00:03:11.234 --> 00:03:13.336
- And she will be there, there will be a celebration
- 00:03:13.336 --> 00:03:15.405
- For one week, seven days, on earth.
- 00:03:15.405 --> 00:03:18.541
- We'll be in heaven celebrating
- 00:03:18.541 --> 00:03:20.777
- The marriage supper of the lamb, amen.
- 00:03:20.777 --> 00:03:23.046
- We are the bride.
- 00:03:23.046 --> 00:03:24.380
- And on earth, there will be seven years of tribulation.
- 00:03:24.380 --> 00:03:28.318
- And then at the end of the seven years,
- 00:03:28.318 --> 00:03:29.652
- Christ will come back with all of us
- 00:03:29.652 --> 00:03:31.688
- And judge the earth
- 00:03:31.688 --> 00:03:33.022
- And establish a new heaven and a new earth
- 00:03:33.022 --> 00:03:35.391
- Wherein dwelleth righteousness, amen.
- 00:03:35.391 --> 00:03:37.960
- And there will be peace, hallelujah.
- 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.463
- There will be blessings.
- 00:03:40.463 --> 00:03:41.964
- There will be complete harmony. there will be no disease.
- 00:03:41.964 --> 00:03:45.468
- There will be no sicknesses, amen.
- 00:03:45.468 --> 00:03:47.537
- Praise the name of jesus
- 00:03:47.537 --> 00:03:48.871
- And all the people said amen, all right?
- 00:03:48.871 --> 00:03:52.608
- Now, that 1000-year rule, people will still die
- 00:03:52.608 --> 00:03:54.777
- But they are not people who are saved and have a new body.
- 00:03:54.777 --> 00:03:57.347
- They are people who are on earth.
- 00:03:57.347 --> 00:03:58.681
- That's another message altogether, all right?
- 00:03:58.681 --> 00:04:00.550
- But here i'm telling you, church,
- 00:04:00.550 --> 00:04:01.884
- This is the part that's not preached much,
- 00:04:01.884 --> 00:04:04.354
- The third dimension.
- 00:04:04.354 --> 00:04:06.089
- Do you know that in your bible, in the old testament,
- 00:04:06.089 --> 00:04:10.093
- 17 books, 1-7, of the old testament
- 00:04:10.093 --> 00:04:15.531
- Teaches on the second coming of the lord?
- 00:04:15.531 --> 00:04:18.234
- Do you know that your new testament,
- 00:04:18.234 --> 00:04:19.802
- You have how many books?
- 00:04:19.802 --> 00:04:21.537
- Sixty-six-- sorry, twenty-seven books
- 00:04:21.537 --> 00:04:23.473
- In the new chapter, entire-- in the new testament.
- 00:04:23.473 --> 00:04:25.908
- In the entire bible, 66 books, right?
- 00:04:25.908 --> 00:04:28.244
- New testament alone, you have 27 books.
- 00:04:28.244 --> 00:04:31.180
- Out of 27 books, 23 books talks about the second coming.
- 00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:36.786
- Do you think there's a lot of emphasis there?
- 00:04:36.786 --> 00:04:39.389
- Do you know that you have 260 chapters
- 00:04:39.389 --> 00:04:46.162
- In the entire new testament?
- 00:04:46.162 --> 00:04:48.798
- And 321 times
- 00:04:48.798 --> 00:04:52.568
- In the 260 chapters in the new testament,
- 00:04:52.568 --> 00:04:54.971
- The second coming is mentioned.
- 00:04:54.971 --> 00:04:57.573
- Is that a lot of emphasis?
- 00:04:57.573 --> 00:04:59.275
- One out of every thirty verses, 3-0,
- 00:04:59.275 --> 00:05:03.579
- Talks about the second coming of christ.
- 00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:06.215
- Hmm?
- 00:05:06.215 --> 00:05:07.550
- Do you think it's a lot of emphasis?
- 00:05:07.550 --> 00:05:08.985
- And do you know what the rapture is all about?
- 00:05:08.985 --> 00:05:11.087
- The rapture is actually us receiving our final gift
- 00:05:11.087 --> 00:05:17.226
- That was purchased for us by jesus's blood.
- 00:05:17.226 --> 00:05:20.096
- Do you know that there's one final gift
- 00:05:20.096 --> 00:05:21.431
- That you and i don't have right now?
- 00:05:21.431 --> 00:05:23.099
- You know what is it? a brand-new body.
- 00:05:23.099 --> 00:05:26.669
- Let's read this in philippians.
- 00:05:26.669 --> 00:05:28.504
- It says: "for our citizenship is in heaven,
- 00:05:28.504 --> 00:05:30.373
- From which we also eagerly wait for the savior,
- 00:05:30.373 --> 00:05:33.476
- The lord jesus christ."
- 00:05:33.476 --> 00:05:34.811
- If you're not eagerly waiting for the lord jesus christ,
- 00:05:34.811 --> 00:05:37.280
- I believe by the end of this message, you will be.
- 00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:41.117
- We are eagerly waiting.
- 00:05:41.117 --> 00:05:42.452
- And who wrote this?
- 00:05:42.452 --> 00:05:43.786
- The apostle of grace, paul himself.
- 00:05:43.786 --> 00:05:45.321
- He says, "we are eagerly waiting for the savior,
- 00:05:45.321 --> 00:05:47.323
- The lord jesus christ,
- 00:05:47.323 --> 00:05:48.658
- Who will transform our lowly body
- 00:05:48.658 --> 00:05:52.061
- That it may be conformed to his glorious body,
- 00:05:52.061 --> 00:05:55.298
- According to the working by which he is able
- 00:05:55.298 --> 00:05:57.567
- Even to subdue all things to himself."
- 00:05:57.567 --> 00:05:59.802
- So when jesus comes again in the rapture,
- 00:05:59.802 --> 00:06:02.071
- The first thing that will happen
- 00:06:02.071 --> 00:06:03.773
- Is that our bodies will be transformed
- 00:06:03.773 --> 00:06:05.975
- And he calls it our lowly bodies
- 00:06:05.975 --> 00:06:07.777
- Will be transformed like his glorious body.
- 00:06:07.777 --> 00:06:11.080
- God never designed for you to have sickness
- 00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:14.517
- Or even feel bored.
- 00:06:14.517 --> 00:06:16.185
- It's not part of god's plan.
- 00:06:16.185 --> 00:06:17.520
- God's love plan when god made man
- 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:19.489
- Is for man to live forever strong,
- 00:06:19.489 --> 00:06:21.557
- Forever healthy, forever young.
- 00:06:21.557 --> 00:06:24.327
- God never meant for man even to grow old and to die.
- 00:06:24.327 --> 00:06:27.930
- "then pastor prince, what's this we see all around us
- 00:06:27.930 --> 00:06:29.665
- And death is total and all that."
- 00:06:29.665 --> 00:06:31.868
- Well, friend, it all happened because of sin.
- 00:06:31.868 --> 00:06:35.104
- It all happened because of sin.
- 00:06:35.104 --> 00:06:36.439
- "why didn't god stop
- 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:37.773
- The first man from sinning then?"
- 00:06:37.773 --> 00:06:39.108
- Let me go back to the thing--
- 00:06:39.108 --> 00:06:40.710
- You should have been around here last week.
- 00:06:40.710 --> 00:06:43.012
- We go back to how god made man.
- 00:06:43.012 --> 00:06:44.981
- God made man with a free choice.
- 00:06:44.981 --> 00:06:46.849
- And god did not make a robot, c-3po or r2-d2, all right?
- 00:06:46.849 --> 00:06:50.887
- God made man with a free choice, amen.
- 00:06:50.887 --> 00:06:53.890
- If god uses his power, you know, to manipulate man's free choice,
- 00:06:53.890 --> 00:06:59.595
- Then god is playing around with men,
- 00:06:59.595 --> 00:07:02.031
- Giving men free choice.
- 00:07:02.031 --> 00:07:03.833
- Another thing is this, people ask the question,
- 00:07:03.833 --> 00:07:05.434
- "why did god plant that tree
- 00:07:05.434 --> 00:07:06.769
- When that tree caused all the problem and all that?"
- 00:07:06.769 --> 00:07:08.771
- Well, if god surrounds your first dad and mom
- 00:07:08.771 --> 00:07:13.643
- With everything that is good and god says,
- 00:07:13.643 --> 00:07:15.444
- "i give you free choice," but anything you choose is good.
- 00:07:15.444 --> 00:07:19.482
- It's like, you know,
- 00:07:19.482 --> 00:07:20.816
- You don't want your child to go out at all.
- 00:07:20.816 --> 00:07:23.486
- But you bring all the toys
- 00:07:23.486 --> 00:07:24.820
- And everything your child chooses is all good.
- 00:07:24.820 --> 00:07:27.290
- Everything is organic.
- 00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:29.058
- Everything is sanitized.
- 00:07:29.058 --> 00:07:31.227
- But the child will grow up, what?
- 00:07:31.227 --> 00:07:32.562
- Because the child is not able to grow
- 00:07:32.562 --> 00:07:35.097
- Because there's no exercise of free choice.
- 00:07:35.097 --> 00:07:38.367
- In order for free choice to be free, you've got to give
- 00:07:38.367 --> 00:07:41.203
- At least one choice that's not good for man.
- 00:07:41.203 --> 00:07:45.174
- Now, get that message.
- 00:07:45.174 --> 00:07:46.943
- I'm not repeating myself, okay?
- 00:07:46.943 --> 00:07:48.377
- So god cannot change--one thing he cannot change is
- 00:07:48.377 --> 00:07:51.781
- You can choose whatever you want, yes,
- 00:07:51.781 --> 00:07:53.916
- But you cannot choose the result of your choice.
- 00:07:53.916 --> 00:07:57.420
- You cannot choose to change the result.
- 00:07:57.420 --> 00:07:59.655
- If you choose fire, like i said before, fire burns.
- 00:07:59.655 --> 00:08:03.593
- You cannot choose not to be burned.
- 00:08:03.593 --> 00:08:07.630
- You choose finger in fire, you choose burn.
- 00:08:07.630 --> 00:08:12.635
- You cannot say, i choose finger in fire,
- 00:08:12.635 --> 00:08:14.503
- But i choose not burn.
- 00:08:14.503 --> 00:08:15.838
- You cannot choose the result of your choice.
- 00:08:15.838 --> 00:08:20.042
- Even god cannot change the result of man's choice.
- 00:08:20.042 --> 00:08:23.679
- If he could, he would not send his son
- 00:08:23.679 --> 00:08:25.781
- To die for our sins, amen.
- 00:08:25.781 --> 00:08:28.084
- In order to save us,
- 00:08:28.084 --> 00:08:30.052
- Jesus christ had to shed his blood.
- 00:08:30.052 --> 00:08:33.889
- So that shows that god himself cannot change
- 00:08:33.889 --> 00:08:36.626
- The consequence of sin except for a price, amen.
- 00:08:36.626 --> 00:08:41.097
- And god sent his son to die for our sins.
- 00:08:41.097 --> 00:08:42.898
- Are you listening, people?
- 00:08:42.898 --> 00:08:44.800
- Amen, for god to create, god only had to speak.
- 00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:48.471
- But for god to save and to redeem,
- 00:08:48.471 --> 00:08:51.407
- He had to bleed.
- 00:08:51.407 --> 00:08:56.646
- Are you all with me so far?
- 00:08:56.646 --> 00:09:00.316
- That's the love story.
- 00:09:00.316 --> 00:09:02.918
- And yet, the very breath god gives man,
- 00:09:02.918 --> 00:09:06.522
- He uses that to speak against god,
- 00:09:06.522 --> 00:09:10.526
- To blaspheme the name of the lord.
- 00:09:10.526 --> 00:09:13.129
- It's the very breath he gives you.
- 00:09:13.129 --> 00:09:16.232
- The bible says, god told, or rather daniel told
- 00:09:16.232 --> 00:09:20.536
- The greatest king that ever lived during that time,
- 00:09:20.536 --> 00:09:25.174
- The king of babylon, that god holds your nostrils
- 00:09:25.174 --> 00:09:29.612
- And the breath of it in his hands.
- 00:09:29.612 --> 00:09:35.818
- And yet, people use that breath that he gave to blaspheme him.
- 00:09:35.818 --> 00:09:40.423
- Yet god still loves man.
- 00:09:40.423 --> 00:09:42.558
- So friend, there are consequences to our action,
- 00:09:42.558 --> 00:09:48.164
- Amen?
- 00:09:48.164 --> 00:09:49.699
- We cannot change the consequence.
- 00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:51.167
- Even god himself cannot change.
- 00:09:51.167 --> 00:09:52.702
- God had to send his son to die for our consequence,
- 00:09:52.702 --> 00:09:55.971
- To die for our sins, so that we can be free from that liability,
- 00:09:55.971 --> 00:10:01.210
- So that we can be forgiven.
- 00:10:01.210 --> 00:10:02.545
- That's grace.
- 00:10:02.545 --> 00:10:03.979
- Can i have a good amen?
- 00:10:03.979 --> 00:10:05.381
- Are you with me so far?
- 00:10:05.381 --> 00:10:06.716
- All right, the bible says: "we shall not all sleep."
- 00:10:06.716 --> 00:10:10.419
- We shall not all sleep means
- 00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:12.421
- Not all of us are going to die when he comes.
- 00:10:12.421 --> 00:10:14.423
- Some of us are still alive when he comes.
- 00:10:14.423 --> 00:10:16.625
- "but we shall all be changed."
- 00:10:16.625 --> 00:10:19.762
- We shall all.
- 00:10:19.762 --> 00:10:23.032
- You know what's all?
- 00:10:23.032 --> 00:10:25.067
- So sit down. keep quiet.
- 00:10:25.067 --> 00:10:27.703
- The bible didn't say, only those who are obedient are going up.
- 00:10:27.703 --> 00:10:31.006
- All shall be changed.
- 00:10:31.006 --> 00:10:32.708
- Writing to believers.
- 00:10:32.708 --> 00:10:34.543
- All believers are going up. we shall be changed.
- 00:10:34.543 --> 00:10:37.913
- You see, you must understand one thing.
- 00:10:37.913 --> 00:10:39.248
- The salvation of your spirit
- 00:10:39.248 --> 00:10:40.583
- Does not depend on your obedience.
- 00:10:40.583 --> 00:10:42.084
- It does not depend on your faithfulness, all right?
- 00:10:42.084 --> 00:10:44.720
- What makes you think the salvation of your body
- 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.288
- Depends on your obedience?
- 00:10:46.288 --> 00:10:47.623
- It's all part of the package jesus gave us
- 00:10:47.623 --> 00:10:49.525
- When he died on the cross.
- 00:10:49.525 --> 00:10:50.960
- We're just receiving our final inheritance, our body.
- 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:55.531
- Are you with me so far?
- 00:10:55.531 --> 00:10:57.266
- All right, and the bible says: "the trumpet will sound,
- 00:10:57.266 --> 00:10:59.435
- The dead will be raised incorruptible," all right?
- 00:10:59.435 --> 00:11:02.238
- Rejoice if your loved one has gone on ahead.
- 00:11:02.238 --> 00:11:04.807
- Don't see your loved one in the grave
- 00:11:04.807 --> 00:11:06.509
- Or cremated or whatever somewhere.
- 00:11:06.509 --> 00:11:08.644
- Let me tell you this, god is able to get all the power
- 00:11:08.644 --> 00:11:12.181
- By which he subdue all things.
- 00:11:12.181 --> 00:11:13.516
- He can get even the cells over in the ocean.
- 00:11:13.516 --> 00:11:17.319
- He's able to get them. all atoms are not lost to god.
- 00:11:17.319 --> 00:11:20.189
- He created atoms.
- 00:11:20.189 --> 00:11:21.590
- He'll bring them all together in the glorious body.
- 00:11:21.590 --> 00:11:23.826
- This is the victory over death
- 00:11:23.826 --> 00:11:26.762
- That jesus gotten for us at the cross, amen?
- 00:11:26.762 --> 00:11:30.633
- And the bible says we shall be changed.
- 00:11:30.699 --> 00:11:34.136
- See, "the dead will be raised-- and we shall be changed.
- 00:11:34.136 --> 00:11:37.640
- For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
- 00:11:37.640 --> 00:11:39.942
- And this mortal must put on immortality."
- 00:11:39.942 --> 00:11:42.411
- You're going to put on immortality.
- 00:11:42.411 --> 00:11:45.681
- You know what's immortality? you'll never die again.
- 00:11:45.681 --> 00:11:47.349
- Next verse: "so when this corruptible
- 00:11:47.349 --> 00:11:49.485
- Has put on incorruption,
- 00:11:49.485 --> 00:11:51.420
- And this mortal has put on immortality,
- 00:11:51.420 --> 00:11:54.089
- Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:
- 00:11:54.089 --> 00:11:56.826
- 'death is swallowed up in victory,' hallelujah.
- 00:11:56.826 --> 00:12:00.095
- That's why jesus rose from the dead bodily,
- 00:12:00.095 --> 00:12:03.933
- To show us the victory over death, amen?
- 00:12:03.933 --> 00:12:06.969
- And then this is what the taunting will do
- 00:12:06.969 --> 00:12:10.573
- When we go up, amen.
- 00:12:10.573 --> 00:12:12.708
- Those who are alive, when they go up,
- 00:12:12.708 --> 00:12:14.844
- They'll say, "hey, death!
- 00:12:14.844 --> 00:12:17.012
- Where is your sting?
- 00:12:17.012 --> 00:12:18.480
- Where is your sting?"
- 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.584
- And those who are dead, they will say, "o hades."
- 00:12:21.584 --> 00:12:24.820
- Hades is the greek word for death--sorry, hell.
- 00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:29.625
- They will say, "o hell, what the--o hades,
- 00:12:29.625 --> 00:12:37.199
- O hell, where is your victory?"
- 00:12:37.199 --> 00:12:41.103
- As we are going up, amen?
- 00:12:41.103 --> 00:12:44.473
- Now, to the world, it will happen in an atomic second.
- 00:12:44.473 --> 00:12:47.576
- We will just disappear.
- 00:12:47.576 --> 00:12:48.911
- But for us, it's almost like we go up in slow motion.
- 00:12:48.911 --> 00:12:52.548
- Now, we know we are going up, not in slow motion,
- 00:12:52.548 --> 00:12:54.016
- But we know we are going up.
- 00:12:54.016 --> 00:12:55.351
- The challenge will come as we go up.
- 00:12:55.351 --> 00:12:57.319
- "death, where is your victory?
- 00:12:57.319 --> 00:12:58.888
- Hell--or death, where is your sting?
- 00:12:58.888 --> 00:13:00.923
- Hell, where is your victory," amen?
- 00:13:00.923 --> 00:13:03.158
- "the sting of death is sin."
- 00:13:03.158 --> 00:13:05.361
- The reason why there's death is because of sin.
- 00:13:05.361 --> 00:13:08.130
- "and the strength of sin is the law."
- 00:13:08.130 --> 00:13:11.033
- And that's why i'm strong in preaching grace.
- 00:13:11.033 --> 00:13:14.770
- Because the strength of sin is the law.
- 00:13:14.770 --> 00:13:16.605
- This verse is hardly preached.
- 00:13:16.605 --> 00:13:20.509
- Do you know something?
- 00:13:20.509 --> 00:13:21.844
- I'll tell you something right now,
- 00:13:21.844 --> 00:13:23.412
- Very interesting, is this.
- 00:13:23.412 --> 00:13:28.851
- Do you know that in the 1 thessalonians
- 00:13:28.851 --> 00:13:31.086
- We read just now, 1 thessalonians,
- 00:13:31.086 --> 00:13:32.922
- This is from 1 thessalonians, right?
- 00:13:32.922 --> 00:13:35.324
- There's a 2 thessalonians, second letter.
- 00:13:35.324 --> 00:13:37.559
- You know the 1 thessalonians, paul talks about
- 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.696
- Faith, hope, and love.
- 00:13:40.696 --> 00:13:45.134
- In verse 3 of chapter 1, 1 thessalonians,
- 00:13:45.134 --> 00:13:47.002
- He says, "your work of faith, your labor of love,
- 00:13:47.002 --> 00:13:50.706
- Your patience of hope," so faith, hope, and love.
- 00:13:50.706 --> 00:13:53.642
- But do you know something?
- 00:13:53.642 --> 00:13:54.977
- By the way, we know what's faith.
- 00:13:54.977 --> 00:13:56.312
- Faith is still being taught today.
- 00:13:56.312 --> 00:13:57.646
- We know what's love.
- 00:13:57.646 --> 00:13:58.981
- Love has been preached, thank god.
- 00:13:58.981 --> 00:14:00.416
- But hope, the blessed hope, is now forgotten.
- 00:14:00.416 --> 00:14:05.187
- Are you listening, people?
- 00:14:05.187 --> 00:14:06.922
- In other words, people are now thinking that,
- 00:14:06.922 --> 00:14:09.959
- Oh, it's not practical to preach the second coming.
- 00:14:09.959 --> 00:14:11.794
- You've got different views, that kind of thing.
- 00:14:11.794 --> 00:14:13.429
- The devil has so deceived people
- 00:14:13.429 --> 00:14:16.498
- That they are no longer preaching
- 00:14:16.498 --> 00:14:17.833
- Something that will give them hope.
- 00:14:17.833 --> 00:14:20.002
- Even christians, when they look forward,
- 00:14:20.002 --> 00:14:21.971
- They don't see the blessed hope.
- 00:14:21.971 --> 00:14:23.305
- It's called blessed hope.
- 00:14:23.305 --> 00:14:24.740
- In the greek, happy hope.
- 00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:27.042
- Hope is always future. faith is present.
- 00:14:27.042 --> 00:14:31.447
- You know what happened to 2 thessalonians?
- 00:14:31.447 --> 00:14:33.482
- 2 thessalonians, the first chapter, in verse 3,
- 00:14:33.482 --> 00:14:37.086
- Paul says, "your faith is growing exceedingly.
- 00:14:37.086 --> 00:14:39.955
- Your love increases," but he never mentioned hope.
- 00:14:39.955 --> 00:14:44.326
- What happened is they lost the hope.
- 00:14:44.326 --> 00:14:46.295
- And i'll tell you what happened.
- 00:14:46.295 --> 00:14:47.629
- The people were waiting for the rapture.
- 00:14:47.629 --> 00:14:49.064
- They did not know when it's going to happen.
- 00:14:49.064 --> 00:14:50.632
- And today we see people thinking, "when is it?
- 00:14:50.632 --> 00:14:54.136
- You know, pastor prince,
- 00:14:54.136 --> 00:14:55.671
- We've been waiting for a long time.
- 00:14:55.671 --> 00:14:57.006
- We have been hearing about this since the longest time."
- 00:14:57.006 --> 00:14:58.774
- One of the arguments they have today,
- 00:14:58.774 --> 00:15:00.275
- "well, i mean, since the longest time
- 00:15:00.275 --> 00:15:01.610
- We've been hearing the rapture,
- 00:15:01.610 --> 00:15:02.945
- It's still not-- never happened, why?"
- 00:15:02.945 --> 00:15:04.279
- I'll tell you why.
- 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:05.614
- Peter said this in the last days.
- 00:15:05.614 --> 00:15:08.183
- 2 peter: "knowing this first:
- 00:15:08.183 --> 00:15:09.518
- That scoffers will come in the last days."
- 00:15:09.518 --> 00:15:11.353
- Scoffers, and they will say what?
- 00:15:11.353 --> 00:15:13.389
- "where is the promise of his coming?"
- 00:15:13.389 --> 00:15:15.958
- Isn't that what we're hearing today?
- 00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:17.993
- Come on, "where's the promise that's coming?
- 00:15:17.993 --> 00:15:19.762
- Huh? another coming again preaching.
- 00:15:19.762 --> 00:15:22.498
- What's this?"
- 00:15:22.498 --> 00:15:23.832
- So these are scoffers.
- 00:15:23.832 --> 00:15:25.167
- And the bible says: "so since the fathers fell asleep,
- 00:15:25.167 --> 00:15:27.369
- All things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
- 00:15:27.369 --> 00:15:30.039
- That's what they say. everything is normal.
- 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.107
- You know, there's no second coming.
- 00:15:32.107 --> 00:15:34.043
- And the bible says, drop down.
- 00:15:34.043 --> 00:15:36.011
- "this they willfully forget:
- 00:15:36.011 --> 00:15:37.679
- That by the word of god the heavens were of old,
- 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.815
- And the earth standing of water and in the water,
- 00:15:39.815 --> 00:15:41.817
- By which the world then existed perished,
- 00:15:41.817 --> 00:15:44.386
- Being flooded with water.
- 00:15:44.386 --> 00:15:46.021
- But the heavens and the earth
- 00:15:46.021 --> 00:15:47.356
- Which are now preserved by the same word,
- 00:15:47.356 --> 00:15:49.191
- Are reserved for fire to the day of judgment
- 00:15:49.191 --> 00:15:51.326
- And perdition of ungodly men."
- 00:15:51.326 --> 00:15:52.661
- Next verse, "but, beloved," now he's writing to believers.
- 00:15:52.661 --> 00:15:55.964
- "do not forget this one thing,
- 00:15:55.964 --> 00:15:57.533
- That with the lord one day is a thousand years,
- 00:15:57.533 --> 00:16:00.269
- And a thousand years as one day."
- 00:16:00.269 --> 00:16:03.172
- To god, god doesn't live in time.
- 00:16:03.172 --> 00:16:04.907
- God created time. we live in time, all right?
- 00:16:04.907 --> 00:16:08.010
- God created time.
- 00:16:08.010 --> 00:16:09.545
- Jesus died 2000 years ago.
- 00:16:09.545 --> 00:16:10.913
- God says two days ago.
- 00:16:10.913 --> 00:16:12.247
- So, why does it seem that god is delaying his son's coming?
- 00:16:12.247 --> 00:16:17.186
- Okay, why?
- 00:16:17.186 --> 00:16:18.520
- "the lord is not slack concerning his promise,
- 00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:20.355
- As some count slackness, but is longsuffering towards us,
- 00:16:20.355 --> 00:16:26.028
- Not willing," oh, i love this,
- 00:16:26.028 --> 00:16:28.230
- "not willing that any should perish
- 00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:32.334
- But that all should come to repentance."
- 00:16:32.334 --> 00:16:35.003
- God is not willing that any should perish
- 00:16:35.003 --> 00:16:37.106
- But that all should come to repentance.
- 00:16:37.106 --> 00:16:40.776
- You know why he's delaying?
- 00:16:40.776 --> 00:16:42.377
- He wants as many saved as possible.
- 00:16:42.377 --> 00:16:46.014
- And we turn his delay into something like,
- 00:16:46.014 --> 00:16:48.951
- "you see, you see," you know?
- 00:16:48.951 --> 00:16:50.619
- No, all the more it confirms the love of god.
- 00:16:50.619 --> 00:16:53.722
- You know, something happens, pastors and leaders, listen.
- 00:16:53.722 --> 00:16:57.693
- In typology, moses can be a contrast with jesus
- 00:16:57.693 --> 00:17:01.730
- Like law and grace, or compare.
- 00:17:01.730 --> 00:17:05.334
- Jesus says god will raise a prophet like moses, right?
- 00:17:05.334 --> 00:17:09.438
- In the book of acts,
- 00:17:09.438 --> 00:17:10.772
- The apostles say that, that's jesus.
- 00:17:10.772 --> 00:17:12.107
- So it can be also compare.
- 00:17:12.107 --> 00:17:13.709
- Moses went up the mountain and he delayed coming down.
- 00:17:13.709 --> 00:17:16.445
- You know what people said?
- 00:17:16.445 --> 00:17:17.779
- Look at this, exodus 32: "when the people saw
- 00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:19.882
- That moses delayed coming down from the mountain,
- 00:17:19.882 --> 00:17:23.719
- The people says, 'come, let us make gods.'"
- 00:17:23.719 --> 00:17:26.188
- You know what they made? they made a golden calf.
- 00:17:26.188 --> 00:17:27.723
- Pastors and leaders, you know why
- 00:17:27.723 --> 00:17:29.057
- There's no holiness and all that?
- 00:17:29.057 --> 00:17:30.392
- It's because we're not preaching the second coming of christ.
- 00:17:30.392 --> 00:17:32.728
- People have this attitude: "no, he's not coming back,
- 00:17:32.728 --> 00:17:34.997
- Not in our day and age.
- 00:17:34.997 --> 00:17:36.331
- I believe that those who preach second coming and all that,
- 00:17:36.331 --> 00:17:38.167
- It's just confusion and it's not practical."
- 00:17:38.167 --> 00:17:40.202
- Who told you it's not practical?
- 00:17:40.202 --> 00:17:42.204
- In fact, jesus said about a servant
- 00:17:42.204 --> 00:17:43.739
- That says in his heart, "my lord delays his coming."
- 00:17:43.739 --> 00:17:46.175
- He ends up beating up menservants.
- 00:17:46.175 --> 00:17:47.976
- Instead of walking in love, the new commandment,
- 00:17:47.976 --> 00:17:49.745
- He's beating up his fellow men, why?
- 00:17:49.745 --> 00:17:52.080
- Using words, using social media today
- 00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:54.416
- To whack one another and all that, why?
- 00:17:54.416 --> 00:17:56.218
- We have lost hope of the second coming of christ.
- 00:17:56.218 --> 00:17:58.353
- The more you see the second coming of christ,
- 00:17:58.353 --> 00:17:59.821
- The more you see the money
- 00:17:59.821 --> 00:18:01.356
- And whatever god has blessed you with as tools.
- 00:18:01.356 --> 00:18:06.028
- You learn to live life in such a way
- 00:18:06.028 --> 00:18:08.430
- That you are focused on his coming, amen?
- 00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:12.134
- You have hope.
- 00:18:12.134 --> 00:18:14.036
- There's such a stability about you
- 00:18:14.036 --> 00:18:15.437
- In a world that's going berserk, amen?
- 00:18:15.437 --> 00:18:19.675
- Are you listening, people?
- 00:18:19.675 --> 00:18:21.009
- Now we go to the 2 thessalonians.
- 00:18:21.009 --> 00:18:22.578
- We'll close one passage, and this is the passage.
- 00:18:22.578 --> 00:18:25.480
- 2 thessalonians, second letter.
- 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:26.882
- When paul wrote to them, he talks about faith that grows,
- 00:18:26.882 --> 00:18:30.319
- Love that's abounding, but they have lost their hope.
- 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.890
- And that's where the church is today.
- 00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:36.258
- There's faith teaching, there's love,
- 00:18:36.258 --> 00:18:38.627
- But we have lost the hope.
- 00:18:38.627 --> 00:18:40.095
- And hope here is not the positive expectation
- 00:18:40.095 --> 00:18:42.664
- Of good in your future that i preach also.
- 00:18:42.664 --> 00:18:44.466
- I'm talking about the blessed hope of the lord.
- 00:18:44.466 --> 00:18:46.401
- Many a times the word "hope" in the new testament
- 00:18:46.401 --> 00:18:48.437
- Is used of the coming of the lord, all right?
- 00:18:48.437 --> 00:18:51.607
- And he says to them, "now, brethren,
- 00:18:51.607 --> 00:18:52.975
- Concerning the coming of our lord jesus christ
- 00:18:52.975 --> 00:18:55.010
- And our gathering together to him, we ask you,
- 00:18:55.010 --> 00:18:57.646
- Not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled,
- 00:18:57.646 --> 00:19:00.282
- Either by spirit or by word or by letter,
- 00:19:00.282 --> 00:19:03.418
- As if from us, as though the day of christ had come."
- 00:19:03.418 --> 00:19:06.054
- What happened between the first letter
- 00:19:06.054 --> 00:19:07.789
- And the second letter is that the people were waiting
- 00:19:07.789 --> 00:19:10.225
- And they thought it would happen almost like the next day.
- 00:19:10.225 --> 00:19:12.995
- It didn't happen. the next two days.
- 00:19:12.995 --> 00:19:14.496
- But the truth, the rapture will happen.
- 00:19:14.496 --> 00:19:16.398
- But they thought it's the next day.
- 00:19:16.398 --> 00:19:17.733
- But jesus himself says, "no man knows the day nor the hour,"
- 00:19:17.733 --> 00:19:20.269
- But we believe it's our generation
- 00:19:20.269 --> 00:19:21.603
- Because we're coming really close to it.
- 00:19:21.603 --> 00:19:23.071
- "let no one deceive you by any means;
- 00:19:23.071 --> 00:19:24.973
- For that day will not come," the day of christ will not come.
- 00:19:24.973 --> 00:19:27.876
- "that day" is referring to when he comes to judge the earth.
- 00:19:27.876 --> 00:19:31.313
- It must happen after the rapture, right?
- 00:19:31.313 --> 00:19:34.783
- So they thought it happened already
- 00:19:34.783 --> 00:19:36.918
- And they are left behind.
- 00:19:36.918 --> 00:19:38.420
- So he's telling them, "let no one deceive you.
- 00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:40.422
- That day will not come
- 00:19:40.422 --> 00:19:41.757
- Unless the falling away comes first,
- 00:19:41.757 --> 00:19:44.826
- And the man of sin is revealed,"
- 00:19:44.826 --> 00:19:46.762
- The antichrist, "the son of perdition,
- 00:19:46.762 --> 00:19:49.264
- Who opposes and exalts himself
- 00:19:49.264 --> 00:19:50.866
- Above all that is called god or that is worshiped."
- 00:19:50.866 --> 00:19:53.068
- Now, "let no one deceive you," look at verse 3 again,
- 00:19:53.068 --> 00:19:55.470
- "by any means; for that day will not come
- 00:19:55.470 --> 00:19:56.972
- Unless the falling away comes first,
- 00:19:56.972 --> 00:19:58.540
- And the man of sin is revealed."
- 00:19:58.540 --> 00:20:00.042
- Actually, he's not very encouraging
- 00:20:00.042 --> 00:20:01.410
- Because if you read it,
- 00:20:01.410 --> 00:20:02.744
- He's trying to tell them not to be shaken in mind,
- 00:20:02.744 --> 00:20:05.213
- Not to be troubled in spirit,
- 00:20:05.213 --> 00:20:06.815
- Whether someone talks to them or send them a letter.
- 00:20:06.815 --> 00:20:09.651
- And then he tells them, "i'll tell you this,
- 00:20:09.651 --> 00:20:11.286
- That day of christ, when he comes to judge,
- 00:20:11.286 --> 00:20:12.988
- Will not happen until the falling away happens first."
- 00:20:12.988 --> 00:20:17.326
- What an ending to the church.
- 00:20:17.326 --> 00:20:18.860
- Many of them will fall away.
- 00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:20.495
- So some preachers love this verse
- 00:20:20.495 --> 00:20:21.830
- Because the falling away will happen.
- 00:20:21.830 --> 00:20:23.465
- They prophesy it. the falling away will happen.
- 00:20:23.465 --> 00:20:25.500
- The falling--i always read this and i felt something is out.
- 00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:30.439
- Let me show you, okay?
- 00:20:30.439 --> 00:20:31.907
- That falling away is one word in greek, "apostasia."
- 00:20:31.907 --> 00:20:35.644
- Apostasia in greek.
- 00:20:35.644 --> 00:20:37.346
- Do you know the word "apostasia"
- 00:20:37.346 --> 00:20:38.914
- Where we can get our english word?
- 00:20:38.914 --> 00:20:40.315
- If somebody comes to church regularly
- 00:20:40.315 --> 00:20:42.384
- And one day he doesn't come anymore,
- 00:20:42.384 --> 00:20:43.785
- People call him an apostate.
- 00:20:43.785 --> 00:20:45.454
- Apostate means someone who departs,
- 00:20:45.454 --> 00:20:47.489
- Someone who left the faith.
- 00:20:47.489 --> 00:20:49.791
- Apostasy.
- 00:20:49.791 --> 00:20:51.426
- And here, apostasia is a greek noun.
- 00:20:51.426 --> 00:20:54.296
- And the greek noun "apostasia"
- 00:20:54.296 --> 00:20:56.164
- Is only used twice in the new testament.
- 00:20:56.164 --> 00:20:58.700
- One of them is used here in acts 21.
- 00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:02.204
- They are talking to paul saying,
- 00:21:02.204 --> 00:21:03.538
- "they have been informed about you
- 00:21:03.538 --> 00:21:06.341
- That you teach all the jews who are among the gentiles."
- 00:21:06.341 --> 00:21:08.910
- James is talking to paul and saying,
- 00:21:08.910 --> 00:21:10.245
- "you teach the jews among the gentiles to forsake moses,
- 00:21:10.245 --> 00:21:14.449
- Saying that they ought not to circumcise your children--"
- 00:21:14.449 --> 00:21:16.885
- And the word "forsake moses" is the word "apostasia."
- 00:21:16.885 --> 00:21:20.589
- It's made of two greek words.
- 00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:21.957
- Look up here. apo, a-p-o, means from.
- 00:21:21.957 --> 00:21:25.927
- Histamine, histamine, your antihistamines.
- 00:21:25.927 --> 00:21:28.930
- Histamine is a greek word means stand.
- 00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:32.334
- So antihistamine to anti the stand of that infection
- 00:21:32.334 --> 00:21:35.437
- Or whatever it is.
- 00:21:35.437 --> 00:21:36.772
- Now the thing is that, apo means--histamine means stand,
- 00:21:36.772 --> 00:21:40.642
- That means depart, all right, depart from.
- 00:21:40.642 --> 00:21:44.212
- So many of us, we think that falling away from the faith
- 00:21:44.212 --> 00:21:46.948
- Will happen first, but let's look
- 00:21:46.948 --> 00:21:48.650
- At the word "departure."
- 00:21:48.650 --> 00:21:50.685
- Greek scholars says the word "apostate"
- 00:21:50.685 --> 00:21:52.320
- Can also be departure, departing.
- 00:21:52.320 --> 00:21:55.257
- What is that? the rapture.
- 00:21:55.257 --> 00:21:57.793
- Now, let's put the rapture here.
- 00:21:57.793 --> 00:21:59.127
- Go back to the verse:
- 00:21:59.127 --> 00:22:00.462
- "let no one deceive you by any means."
- 00:22:00.462 --> 00:22:01.830
- Don't forget, paul is trying to encourage them
- 00:22:01.830 --> 00:22:03.732
- Not to be shaken in their mind,
- 00:22:03.732 --> 00:22:05.066
- Their spirit, their hearts, right, right?
- 00:22:05.066 --> 00:22:07.869
- He's not going to crush them further.
- 00:22:07.869 --> 00:22:09.771
- So let's say, he says, "let no one deceive you;
- 00:22:09.771 --> 00:22:11.706
- For that day," of christ when he comes to judge,
- 00:22:11.706 --> 00:22:13.775
- "will not come unless the departure happens first,"
- 00:22:13.775 --> 00:22:17.879
- The departing happens first,
- 00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:19.981
- "then the antichrist is revealed."
- 00:22:19.981 --> 00:22:21.850
- We won't see the antichrist.
- 00:22:21.850 --> 00:22:24.119
- He won't show his head until we are out of here.
- 00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.888
- He cannot because we have the authority in heaven
- 00:22:26.888 --> 00:22:28.824
- To do some things.
- 00:22:28.824 --> 00:22:30.158
- Let me close with this, people.
- 00:22:30.158 --> 00:22:32.160
- In the last upper room, jesus said--told his disciples this:
- 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.197
- "let not your heart be troubled;
- 00:22:36.164 --> 00:22:38.366
- You believe in god, believe also in me."
- 00:22:38.366 --> 00:22:40.769
- You may have loved ones that have gone on and all that.
- 00:22:40.769 --> 00:22:42.804
- Listen, jesus said this: "let not your heart be troubled.
- 00:22:42.804 --> 00:22:46.274
- In my father's house are many mansions."
- 00:22:46.274 --> 00:22:48.944
- I'm glad he mentioned mansion, not huts.
- 00:22:48.944 --> 00:22:54.049
- "if it were not so, i would have told you.
- 00:22:54.049 --> 00:22:55.684
- I go to prepare a place for you.
- 00:22:55.684 --> 00:22:58.320
- And if i go and prepare a place for you,"
- 00:22:58.320 --> 00:22:59.955
- What did he say?
- 00:22:59.955 --> 00:23:01.289
- "i will come again and receive you to myself."
- 00:23:01.289 --> 00:23:04.960
- Now, this is not the coming to judge the earth.
- 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.662
- This is the rapture.
- 00:23:07.662 --> 00:23:09.064
- "i'll come again and receive you to myself that where i am,
