  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.319
  • Joseph prince: the big majority of christians that believe
  • 00:00:12.064 --> 00:00:13.932
  • In the rapture believe not all christians are going up,
  • 00:00:13.932 --> 00:00:18.070
  • And only the faithful ones,
  • 00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:20.205
  • Only those faithful ones, those who are watching,
  • 00:00:20.205 --> 00:00:22.708
  • Those who are overcoming.
  • 00:00:22.708 --> 00:00:24.176
  • I tell you by the word of the lord
  • 00:00:24.176 --> 00:00:25.511
  • That "we, who are alive and remain."
  • 00:00:25.511 --> 00:00:29.448
  • The only criteria: alive and remain.
  • 00:00:29.448 --> 00:00:31.416
  • We, who are faithful, no.
  • 00:00:31.416 --> 00:00:33.085
  • We, who are overcomers, no.
  • 00:00:33.085 --> 00:00:35.220
  • We, who are serving, no.
  • 00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:37.990
  • We, who are alive and remain.
  • 00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:42.794
  • Those who are christ's,
  • 00:00:42.794 --> 00:00:44.363
  • Those who belong to christ at his coming.
  • 00:00:44.363 --> 00:00:47.799
  • Jesus rose from the dead
  • 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.501
  • And we all rise with him at his coming.
  • 00:00:49.501 --> 00:00:52.771
  • We're not here to give the lord a bad name, people.
  • 00:00:52.771 --> 00:00:56.508
  • We are here to glorify his name.
  • 00:00:56.508 --> 00:00:58.443
  • Male announcer: are you ready for the rapture?
  • 00:01:00.078 --> 00:01:01.847
  • How do you even get ready for the rapture?
  • 00:01:01.847 --> 00:01:04.016
  • In today's message, joseph prince reveals
  • 00:01:04.016 --> 00:01:06.084
  • Powerful truths about the rapture
  • 00:01:06.084 --> 00:01:07.586
  • And the life that we are called to live
  • 00:01:07.586 --> 00:01:09.321
  • As we await the return of our savior.
  • 00:01:09.321 --> 00:01:12.457
  • In these perilous last days, what if the question isn't,
  • 00:01:12.457 --> 00:01:15.561
  • "will i be left behind," but "what will i leave behind"?
  • 00:01:15.561 --> 00:01:19.831
  • As we look at the world today, one thing is clear:
  • 00:01:19.831 --> 00:01:22.434
  • People need to hear the good news,
  • 00:01:22.434 --> 00:01:24.236
  • That god is not an angry god,
  • 00:01:24.236 --> 00:01:26.371
  • And that there is hope for these dark days.
  • 00:01:26.371 --> 00:01:28.941
  • But our work is far from finished.
  • 00:01:28.941 --> 00:01:30.943
  • When you support this ministry, your gift helps us share

  • Reaching as many people as possible,

  • As quickly as possible.
  • 00:01:40.586 --> 00:01:42.154

  • We'll also send you these bonus resources.
  • 00:01:56.668 --> 00:01:58.904
  • While the world looks to the future
  • 00:01:58.904 --> 00:02:00.572
  • With fear and anxiety,
  • 00:02:00.572 --> 00:02:01.974
  • In christ you can live with greater purpose.
  • 00:02:01.974 --> 00:02:05.110

  • 00:02:09.081 --> 00:02:13.018
  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:13.018 --> 00:02:15.153
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:15.153 --> 00:02:16.722
  • Joseph prince: the end times is something that there
  • 00:02:16.722 --> 00:02:21.193
  • Are varying views in the body of christ,
  • 00:02:21.193 --> 00:02:24.162
  • But the word of god only has one view, amen.
  • 00:02:24.162 --> 00:02:28.700
  • It will be interesting one day when we are in heaven
  • 00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:31.169
  • To know how the lord actually meant
  • 00:02:31.169 --> 00:02:36.875
  • The words that he spoke.
  • 00:02:36.875 --> 00:02:38.977
  • But the bible is not such that, you know,
  • 00:02:38.977 --> 00:02:42.114
  • It's so hard to understand.
  • 00:02:42.114 --> 00:02:43.448
  • It is not hard to understand.
  • 00:02:43.448 --> 00:02:45.817
  • Even the book of revelation is not hard to understand.
  • 00:02:45.817 --> 00:02:49.154
  • In fact, that book carries a special blessing
  • 00:02:49.154 --> 00:02:51.390
  • For everyone that reads.
  • 00:02:51.390 --> 00:02:53.892
  • We don't understand
  • 00:02:53.892 --> 00:02:55.227
  • Because we don't understand the symbologies.
  • 00:02:55.227 --> 00:02:57.296
  • We don't understand the typologies
  • 00:02:57.296 --> 00:02:59.464
  • Of the old testament, amen.
  • 00:02:59.464 --> 00:03:03.535
  • And especially the confusion comes
  • 00:03:03.535 --> 00:03:06.104
  • Because people don't understand the core message,
  • 00:03:06.104 --> 00:03:10.008
  • The gospel of jesus christ, the gospel of grace.
  • 00:03:10.008 --> 00:03:15.781
  • If you understand the gospel of grace,
  • 00:03:15.781 --> 00:03:17.349
  • You understand that believers
  • 00:03:17.349 --> 00:03:19.151
  • Are not going through the great tribulation.
  • 00:03:19.151 --> 00:03:22.821
  • Believers will not be around
  • 00:03:22.821 --> 00:03:24.856
  • During the time of jacob's trouble,
  • 00:03:24.856 --> 00:03:28.060
  • The time called the great tribulation,
  • 00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:31.196
  • Seven years of god's wrath being poured upon the earth.
  • 00:03:31.196 --> 00:03:36.268
  • The bible says clearly, and we shared that the last time
  • 00:03:36.268 --> 00:03:39.338
  • When i first preached on the rapture
  • 00:03:39.338 --> 00:03:41.373
  • And the end times,
  • 00:03:41.373 --> 00:03:44.543
  • If you understand romans 5, it says that much more,
  • 00:03:44.543 --> 00:03:47.779
  • Now that we are saved by his blood,
  • 00:03:47.779 --> 00:03:50.349
  • We shall be saved from wrath through him, amen?
  • 00:03:50.349 --> 00:03:56.621
  • Then you know that we
  • 00:03:56.621 --> 00:03:57.956
  • Are not going to go through the tribulation.
  • 00:03:57.956 --> 00:04:00.926
  • Do you understand that?
  • 00:04:00.926 --> 00:04:02.427
  • And ever since our message on the rapture
  • 00:04:02.427 --> 00:04:05.530
  • Hit the youtube and all that, there were all kinds,
  • 00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:11.737
  • It's almost like one of those responses we have
  • 00:04:11.737 --> 00:04:13.638
  • When i first preached on grace.
  • 00:04:13.638 --> 00:04:16.074
  • It was the same kind of response.
  • 00:04:16.074 --> 00:04:17.843
  • There was some strong opposition
  • 00:04:17.843 --> 00:04:19.845
  • And then there was also strong opposition
  • 00:04:19.845 --> 00:04:22.347
  • Where we preached on speaking in tongues,
  • 00:04:22.347 --> 00:04:26.318
  • And again, the lord's supper.
  • 00:04:26.318 --> 00:04:28.320
  • All these are subjects
  • 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:29.654
  • That the devil would attack strongly
  • 00:04:29.654 --> 00:04:31.690
  • Because these are the subjects that strengthen the believer,
  • 00:04:31.690 --> 00:04:36.128
  • Edify him, give him the blessed hope.
  • 00:04:36.128 --> 00:04:39.765
  • And the devil does not want you to have the blessed hope.
  • 00:04:39.765 --> 00:04:41.833
  • He wants you depressed.
  • 00:04:41.833 --> 00:04:43.568
  • He wants you to keep looking
  • 00:04:43.568 --> 00:04:45.036
  • At all that's going on in the world.
  • 00:04:45.036 --> 00:04:47.973
  • He wants you to read up
  • 00:04:47.973 --> 00:04:49.307
  • On all that's going on in the world.
  • 00:04:49.307 --> 00:04:51.209
  • The devil wants you depressed.
  • 00:04:51.209 --> 00:04:53.812
  • He wants you looking around and be distressed.
  • 00:04:53.812 --> 00:04:56.548
  • He never want you to look up, be at rest, never.
  • 00:04:56.548 --> 00:05:02.220
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:05.557
  • So, when you don't understand this,
  • 00:05:05.557 --> 00:05:08.360
  • You're making the same mistake
  • 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:09.728
  • About the rapture and the end times.
  • 00:05:09.728 --> 00:05:11.096
  • They put them together, just like the jews.
  • 00:05:11.096 --> 00:05:13.865
  • They read the old testament and they don't know
  • 00:05:13.865 --> 00:05:16.134
  • There are two segments to the coming of christ.
  • 00:05:16.134 --> 00:05:18.770
  • They talk about the messiah bar david,
  • 00:05:18.770 --> 00:05:22.207
  • Messiah bar joseph, all right?
  • 00:05:22.207 --> 00:05:24.743
  • Messiah, one messiah, but two comings.
  • 00:05:24.743 --> 00:05:26.978
  • They don't understand that.
  • 00:05:26.978 --> 00:05:28.313
  • And believers are mixing the two
  • 00:05:28.313 --> 00:05:31.116
  • Just like the jews did in the old testament.
  • 00:05:31.116 --> 00:05:34.152
  • And that's why when he came,
  • 00:05:34.152 --> 00:05:35.520
  • Even the disciples were confused.
  • 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:36.955
  • They thought he would come to establish the kingdom.
  • 00:05:36.955 --> 00:05:40.692
  • But no, the kingdom cannot be established
  • 00:05:40.692 --> 00:05:43.128
  • But on the proper foundation of righteousness.
  • 00:05:43.128 --> 00:05:47.432
  • And he died for our sins.
  • 00:05:47.432 --> 00:05:50.101
  • The kingdom must begin inside us, amen.
  • 00:05:50.101 --> 00:05:54.873
  • And that's what he came to do.
  • 00:05:54.873 --> 00:05:56.374
  • So they were very disappointed.
  • 00:05:56.374 --> 00:05:58.043
  • Even when--after he rose from the dead,
  • 00:05:58.043 --> 00:05:59.411
  • They asked him, "lord,
  • 00:05:59.411 --> 00:06:00.745
  • Is it time for you to restore the kingdom?"
  • 00:06:00.745 --> 00:06:02.781
  • He says, "it's not for you
  • 00:06:02.781 --> 00:06:04.115
  • To know the times or the seasons,"
  • 00:06:04.115 --> 00:06:05.450
  • He told them just before he left.
  • 00:06:05.450 --> 00:06:08.086
  • And that's the resurrected jesus speaking to his disciples.
  • 00:06:08.086 --> 00:06:11.323
  • So again, the same confusion today.
  • 00:06:11.323 --> 00:06:13.124
  • What is the rapture?
  • 00:06:13.124 --> 00:06:14.693
  • What is the second coming?
  • 00:06:14.693 --> 00:06:16.495
  • There are two aspects
  • 00:06:16.495 --> 00:06:17.829
  • To the second coming of christ, all right?
  • 00:06:17.829 --> 00:06:19.731
  • If you're writing down,
  • 00:06:19.731 --> 00:06:21.066
  • The first one is the lord is coming for,
  • 00:06:21.066 --> 00:06:24.169
  • Underline "for," his saints.
  • 00:06:24.169 --> 00:06:27.372
  • After he does that,
  • 00:06:27.372 --> 00:06:29.107
  • The lord is coming with his saints.
  • 00:06:29.107 --> 00:06:33.778
  • One more time: the rapture is the lord coming for his saints,
  • 00:06:33.778 --> 00:06:38.316
  • Not to judge his saints.
  • 00:06:38.316 --> 00:06:40.185
  • All judgment is finished at the cross.
  • 00:06:40.185 --> 00:06:42.954
  • He is coming for his saints, coming in love.
  • 00:06:42.954 --> 00:06:47.425
  • Go back to this.
  • 00:06:47.425 --> 00:06:48.994
  • So the thessalonians received the message from paul.
  • 00:06:48.994 --> 00:06:51.162
  • When paul preached
  • 00:06:51.162 --> 00:06:52.497
  • In this greek city called salonica,
  • 00:06:52.497 --> 00:06:54.199
  • All right, many believers-- many became believers.
  • 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.168
  • Now let's go back in time, okay?
  • 00:06:57.168 --> 00:06:58.503
  • Let's just suppose we go back in time.
  • 00:06:58.503 --> 00:07:01.339
  • Because i want to answer a very important question
  • 00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:03.174
  • During this thing.
  • 00:07:03.174 --> 00:07:04.543
  • On the other hand, there are those,
  • 00:07:04.543 --> 00:07:06.311
  • We're not going to address that anymore,
  • 00:07:06.311 --> 00:07:08.013
  • Whether the rapture exists or not.
  • 00:07:08.013 --> 00:07:09.347
  • We know it very clearly; if you read the bible,
  • 00:07:09.347 --> 00:07:10.849
  • You know that jesus talked about the rapture.
  • 00:07:10.849 --> 00:07:12.951
  • He says, "in my father's house are many mansions.
  • 00:07:12.951 --> 00:07:15.687
  • I go and prepare a place for you.
  • 00:07:15.687 --> 00:07:17.889
  • And when i come again, i'll receive you unto myself."
  • 00:07:17.889 --> 00:07:22.327
  • That is the rapture right there.
  • 00:07:22.327 --> 00:07:23.995
  • Now, in the upper room,
  • 00:07:23.995 --> 00:07:25.564
  • You will find church truths in seed form.
  • 00:07:25.564 --> 00:07:30.502
  • In matthew 24 and 25,
  • 00:07:30.502 --> 00:07:32.270
  • He's talking to the jews about the end times.
  • 00:07:32.270 --> 00:07:35.407
  • So don't see the church in matthew 24 about earthquakes.
  • 00:07:35.407 --> 00:07:38.944
  • There'll be earthquakes in various places,
  • 00:07:38.944 --> 00:07:40.779
  • Nations, ethnic groups will rise against ethnic groups.
  • 00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:44.049
  • There'll be wars, there'll be famines.
  • 00:07:44.049 --> 00:07:45.483
  • He's talking to the jewish believers
  • 00:07:45.483 --> 00:07:47.385
  • Who will be in the tribulation.
  • 00:07:47.385 --> 00:07:49.588
  • When he says the gospel of the kingdom will be preached,
  • 00:07:49.588 --> 00:07:51.923
  • All right, he's talking about the 144,000 jewish evangelists
  • 00:07:51.923 --> 00:07:54.993
  • Who will be there on earth
  • 00:07:54.993 --> 00:07:56.595
  • During the time of the antichrist
  • 00:07:56.595 --> 00:07:57.929
  • Preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
  • 00:07:57.929 --> 00:07:59.798
  • But we will be up there.
  • 00:07:59.798 --> 00:08:03.768
  • Are you listening, people?
  • 00:08:03.768 --> 00:08:05.737
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:08:05.737 --> 00:08:07.672
  • So let's imagine, okay, that we are now in the city of salonica,
  • 00:08:07.672 --> 00:08:13.044
  • The thessalonians, all right?
  • 00:08:13.044 --> 00:08:14.546
  • We are the thessalonians and we have received christ.
  • 00:08:14.546 --> 00:08:20.986
  • Now we're waiting for his son from heaven.
  • 00:08:20.986 --> 00:08:23.421
  • While waiting for his son from heaven
  • 00:08:23.421 --> 00:08:24.756
  • Because we do not know when the rapture will happen,
  • 00:08:24.756 --> 00:08:27.425
  • Right?
  • 00:08:27.425 --> 00:08:28.960
  • Some of the brothers or sisters that we love and care for,
  • 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:33.098
  • They died.
  • 00:08:33.098 --> 00:08:34.666
  • Now, don't forget, they have no teaching on the rapture yet.
  • 00:08:34.666 --> 00:08:38.136
  • Now they are concerned about them.
  • 00:08:38.136 --> 00:08:39.638
  • They didn't make it to wait for jesus to come from heaven.
  • 00:08:39.638 --> 00:08:42.874
  • What would happen to them? will they enter the kingdom?
  • 00:08:42.874 --> 00:08:44.376
  • So they have all these kind of thoughts.
  • 00:08:44.376 --> 00:08:45.710
  • Anyway, one day, there was a messenger,
  • 00:08:45.710 --> 00:08:49.581
  • A runner, who came to the believers in thessalonica
  • 00:08:49.581 --> 00:08:53.652
  • And said, "hey, hey, guys,
  • 00:08:53.652 --> 00:08:55.020
  • The latest from the apostle paul."
  • 00:08:55.020 --> 00:08:58.123
  • So the elder, one of the elders, stood up and said,
  • 00:08:58.123 --> 00:09:01.159
  • "gather the believers together in thessalonica."
  • 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.496
  • And amongst these thessalonians, there's a man,
  • 00:09:04.496 --> 00:09:06.898
  • Let's call him a young man, okay?
  • 00:09:06.898 --> 00:09:08.400
  • Let's call him demetrius.
  • 00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:10.135
  • And he's not sure whether, you know,
  • 00:09:10.135 --> 00:09:13.038
  • His security with god is there or not, all right?
  • 00:09:13.038 --> 00:09:16.441
  • He's one of those that are stumbling christians.
  • 00:09:16.441 --> 00:09:20.278
  • So one of the things i want to answer in this sermon is,
  • 00:09:20.278 --> 00:09:24.049
  • One of the biggest things is this.
  • 00:09:24.049 --> 00:09:25.650
  • Not those who deny the rapture, all right,
  • 00:09:25.650 --> 00:09:27.819
  • They are not a big majority,
  • 00:09:27.819 --> 00:09:30.088
  • But a big majority of christians that believe in the rapture
  • 00:09:30.088 --> 00:09:33.024
  • Believe not all christians are going up,
  • 00:09:33.024 --> 00:09:36.327
  • And only the faithful ones,
  • 00:09:36.327 --> 00:09:38.463
  • Only those faithful ones, those who are watching,
  • 00:09:38.463 --> 00:09:40.899
  • Those who are overcoming.
  • 00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:42.634
  • Now again, that robs
  • 00:09:42.634 --> 00:09:44.202
  • The average believer of hope, okay?
  • 00:09:44.202 --> 00:09:47.572
  • And this big, this one is big.
  • 00:09:47.572 --> 00:09:49.407
  • It's a partial theory rapture.
  • 00:09:49.407 --> 00:09:52.243
  • So let's look at the bible.
  • 00:09:52.243 --> 00:09:53.578
  • Don't let joseph prince explain, let the bible explain.
  • 00:09:53.578 --> 00:09:56.648
  • You judge for yourself.
  • 00:09:56.648 --> 00:09:58.516
  • Are all believers going up or not?
  • 00:09:58.516 --> 00:10:00.351
  • So young demetrius,
  • 00:10:00.351 --> 00:10:01.720
  • He realized ever since he became a christian,
  • 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.521
  • He has not been what you call a christian
  • 00:10:03.521 --> 00:10:06.658
  • That has been overcoming his bad habits.
  • 00:10:06.658 --> 00:10:08.993
  • In fact, he's been falling here and there.
  • 00:10:08.993 --> 00:10:10.995
  • Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses.
  • 00:10:10.995 --> 00:10:14.065
  • Sometimes he learns, all right?
  • 00:10:14.065 --> 00:10:17.569
  • So an elder with a loud voice takes paul's letter.
  • 00:10:17.569 --> 00:10:21.005
  • In those days, it's in a scroll form
  • 00:10:21.005 --> 00:10:22.941
  • And he starts reading.
  • 00:10:22.941 --> 00:10:25.744
  • Remember i told you guys, chapter 1,
  • 00:10:25.744 --> 00:10:27.879
  • That you wait for god.
  • 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.214
  • Chapter 1 again, "to wait for his son from heaven,
  • 00:10:29.214 --> 00:10:31.483
  • Whom god raised from the dead,
  • 00:10:31.483 --> 00:10:32.817
  • Even jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come."
  • 00:10:32.817 --> 00:10:36.054
  • And then, he keeps on reading
  • 00:10:36.054 --> 00:10:38.022
  • And he tells them in this letter,
  • 00:10:38.022 --> 00:10:39.657
  • Paul says, you know what is my crown of joy?
  • 00:10:39.657 --> 00:10:42.360
  • All of you, when jesus comes again.
  • 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.330
  • That's also in 1 thessalonians.
  • 00:10:45.330 --> 00:10:46.798
  • And then he comes to this in chapter 4,
  • 00:10:46.798 --> 00:10:49.934
  • Okay?
  • 00:10:49.934 --> 00:10:51.269
  • He says, "i do not want you to be ignorant, brethren,
  • 00:10:51.269 --> 00:10:55.640
  • Concerning those who have fallen asleep,"
  • 00:10:55.640 --> 00:10:57.509
  • That means those who have passed on,
  • 00:10:57.509 --> 00:11:00.645
  • "lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
  • 00:11:00.645 --> 00:11:04.015
  • For if we believe that jesus died and rose again,
  • 00:11:04.015 --> 00:11:07.886
  • Even so god will bring with him those who sleep in jesus."
  • 00:11:07.886 --> 00:11:12.891
  • Next.
  • 00:11:12.891 --> 00:11:14.292
  • "for this we say to you by the word of the lord,"
  • 00:11:14.292 --> 00:11:16.461
  • The lord is going to say something
  • 00:11:17.695 --> 00:11:19.564
  • And paul is just the delivery boy.
  • 00:11:19.564 --> 00:11:22.367
  • "that we," then he start to tremble a bit.
  • 00:11:22.367 --> 00:11:26.237
  • And the speaker paused here.
  • 00:11:26.237 --> 00:11:27.605
  • "that we," we what?
  • 00:11:27.605 --> 00:11:30.608
  • We who are faithful?
  • 00:11:30.608 --> 00:11:33.244
  • We who are overcomers?
  • 00:11:33.244 --> 00:11:35.780
  • We who are watchful?
  • 00:11:35.780 --> 00:11:38.283
  • What kind of christians are going up?
  • 00:11:38.283 --> 00:11:40.785
  • "we," come on, come on.
  • 00:11:40.785 --> 00:11:43.388
  • I tell you by the word of the lord,
  • 00:11:44.956 --> 00:11:46.291
  • "that we who are alive and remain."
  • 00:11:46.291 --> 00:11:50.261
  • The only criteria, alive and remain.
  • 00:11:50.261 --> 00:11:52.931
  • So church, ha ha,
  • 00:11:52.931 --> 00:11:56.935
  • I believe it can happen just like that, amen?
  • 00:11:56.935 --> 00:12:01.339
  • That they are straining to hear, we who are faithful, no.
  • 00:12:01.339 --> 00:12:05.243
  • We who are overcomers, no.
  • 00:12:05.243 --> 00:12:07.178
  • We who are serving, no.
  • 00:12:07.178 --> 00:12:09.881
  • We who are alive and remain.
  • 00:12:09.881 --> 00:12:14.786
  • Now, it is restricted to believers, okay?
  • 00:12:14.786 --> 00:12:19.290
  • It's for believers.
  • 00:12:19.290 --> 00:12:21.125
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:12:21.125 --> 00:12:23.194
  • And these people that teach partial rapture,
  • 00:12:23.194 --> 00:12:26.531
  • Who gave them the authority to say
  • 00:12:26.531 --> 00:12:27.999
  • What level of faithfulness will cause you to be going up?
  • 00:12:27.999 --> 00:12:32.103
  • The apostle paul himself, speaking by the word of the lord
  • 00:12:32.103 --> 00:12:34.672
  • That says, "we who are alive and remain."
  • 00:12:34.672 --> 00:12:38.409
  • If you're a believer
  • 00:12:38.409 --> 00:12:39.744
  • And you are alive at the time of the rapture,
  • 00:12:39.744 --> 00:12:42.680
  • You are going up
  • 00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:47.619
  • Against the laws of gravity that he himself instituted.
  • 00:12:47.619 --> 00:12:50.955
  • "for the lord--we who are alive and remain
  • 00:12:54.359 --> 00:12:56.628
  • Until the coming of the lord
  • 00:12:56.628 --> 00:12:58.396
  • Will by no means precede those who are asleep.
  • 00:12:58.396 --> 00:13:01.099
  • For the lord himself," i love the himself.
  • 00:13:01.099 --> 00:13:04.168
  • You can say "for the lord will descend" but he says,
  • 00:13:04.168 --> 00:13:05.637
  • "the lord himself."
  • 00:13:05.637 --> 00:13:07.805
  • That is so warm.
  • 00:13:07.805 --> 00:13:09.807
  • "the lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout,"
  • 00:13:09.807 --> 00:13:13.278
  • And i believe it's a joyful shout,
  • 00:13:13.278 --> 00:13:15.780
  • After 2000 years, come on, people.
  • 00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:17.315
  • Next.
  • 00:13:17.315 --> 00:13:18.650
  • "then we who are alive and remain shall be,"
  • 00:13:18.650 --> 00:13:21.319
  • Shall be what?
  • 00:13:21.319 --> 00:13:23.054
  • Caught up. again, we who are faithful?
  • 00:13:23.054 --> 00:13:25.089
  • No. we who are alive and remain.
  • 00:13:25.089 --> 00:13:26.858
  • It's almost like he's bringing home the point.
  • 00:13:26.858 --> 00:13:28.760
  • "we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together
  • 00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:33.031
  • With them in the clouds to meet the lord in the air."
  • 00:13:33.031 --> 00:13:36.601
  • Remember, this is
  • 00:13:36.601 --> 00:13:38.503
  • The lord coming for his saints.
  • 00:13:38.503 --> 00:13:41.539
  • "and thus we shall always be with the lord.
  • 00:13:41.539 --> 00:13:43.508
  • Therefore comfort one another with these words."
  • 00:13:43.508 --> 00:13:45.276
  • Listen, this is the lord coming for his saints.
  • 00:13:45.276 --> 00:13:48.413
  • When he comes back again at the end of the tribulation
  • 00:13:48.413 --> 00:13:51.616
  • For the jewish believers in israel,
  • 00:13:51.616 --> 00:13:55.286
  • There will be a revival in israel when he comes.
  • 00:13:55.286 --> 00:13:58.856
  • All israel will be saved.
  • 00:13:58.856 --> 00:14:00.658
  • He will come to rescue israel from her enemies.
  • 00:14:00.658 --> 00:14:03.628
  • And this time, he is coming with his saints.
  • 00:14:03.628 --> 00:14:07.966
  • Notice, in order for you to come with your saints,
  • 00:14:07.966 --> 00:14:11.436
  • Enoch prophesied in the book of jude,
  • 00:14:11.436 --> 00:14:13.671
  • "behold, the lord comes with 10,000 of his saints."
  • 00:14:13.671 --> 00:14:17.408
  • A representative number of multitudes.
  • 00:14:17.408 --> 00:14:20.144
  • The lord comes with his saints to rescue israel.
  • 00:14:20.144 --> 00:14:23.848
  • We will all come with him.
  • 00:14:23.848 --> 00:14:26.150
  • Well, someone will say, "well, pastor prince,
  • 00:14:26.150 --> 00:14:27.552
  • All that is well and good, pastor prince,
  • 00:14:27.552 --> 00:14:29.787
  • But you know, thessalonian believers,
  • 00:14:29.787 --> 00:14:31.456
  • They are not carnal believers.
  • 00:14:31.456 --> 00:14:33.758
  • That's--all of them are going up.
  • 00:14:33.758 --> 00:14:36.194
  • They are bright, faithful, zealous believers."
  • 00:14:36.194 --> 00:14:40.198
  • So this again, partial theory people are arguing.
  • 00:14:40.198 --> 00:14:42.567
  • All right, let me give you a church that paul wrote to
  • 00:14:42.567 --> 00:14:46.204
  • That is very carnal.
  • 00:14:46.204 --> 00:14:48.906
  • Without a doubt, everyone will agree with me on this,
  • 00:14:48.906 --> 00:14:51.809
  • That the most carnal church that paul ever wrote to,
  • 00:14:51.809 --> 00:14:54.512
  • True believers, but most carnal church,
  • 00:14:54.512 --> 00:14:57.515
  • What church is it?
  • 00:14:57.515 --> 00:14:59.384
  • Corinthians is the most carnal.
  • 00:14:59.384 --> 00:15:01.886
  • They are born again.
  • 00:15:01.886 --> 00:15:03.221
  • In fact, chapter 6 says, "what know you not your body is
  • 00:15:03.221 --> 00:15:06.024
  • The temple of the holy spirit."
  • 00:15:06.024 --> 00:15:07.625
  • They are believers.
  • 00:15:07.625 --> 00:15:08.960
  • Their body is the temple of the holy spirit,
  • 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:10.895
  • But they were going to prostitutes.
  • 00:15:10.895 --> 00:15:13.164
  • Temple prostitutes, some of them.
  • 00:15:13.164 --> 00:15:14.766
  • Some of them were fighting against each other
  • 00:15:14.766 --> 00:15:16.768
  • And suing one another in court.
  • 00:15:16.768 --> 00:15:19.904
  • Some of them were so proud because they were wealthy,
  • 00:15:19.904 --> 00:15:23.975
  • When they come to the lord's supper,
  • 00:15:23.975 --> 00:15:25.943
  • Instead of partaking the lord's supper,
  • 00:15:25.943 --> 00:15:27.912
  • They were showing off all their food and drink.
  • 00:15:27.912 --> 00:15:31.149
  • You never find a more carnal church
  • 00:15:31.149 --> 00:15:32.483
  • Than the corinthians, right?
  • 00:15:32.483 --> 00:15:34.552
  • So they are not going up, right?
  • 00:15:34.552 --> 00:15:38.923
  • All right, watch this, the apostle paul writes:
  • 00:15:38.923 --> 00:15:41.225
  • "but each each one in his own order."
  • 00:15:41.225 --> 00:15:44.562
  • He's talking about resurrection. he's talking about resurrection.
  • 00:15:44.562 --> 00:15:47.899
  • He says, "everyone in his own order:
  • 00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:49.300
  • Christ the firstfruits,
  • 00:15:49.300 --> 00:15:50.735
  • Afterwards those who are christ's at his coming."
  • 00:15:50.735 --> 00:15:54.205
  • Those who are christ's,
  • 00:15:54.205 --> 00:15:55.840
  • Those who belong to christ at his coming.
  • 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:59.210
  • Jesus rose from the dead
  • 00:15:59.210 --> 00:16:01.012
  • And we'll all rise with him at his coming.
  • 00:16:01.012 --> 00:16:05.083
  • Those who are christ's, not those who are faithful,
  • 00:16:05.083 --> 00:16:08.686
  • Not those who are holy.
  • 00:16:08.686 --> 00:16:10.888
  • Those who are christ's.
  • 00:16:10.888 --> 00:16:13.024
  • Like i said before, it's important that we are holy
  • 00:16:13.024 --> 00:16:16.227
  • Because we want to glorify his name, amen.
  • 00:16:16.227 --> 00:16:18.362
  • So the thing is this, we want to serve,
  • 00:16:18.362 --> 00:16:20.098
  • We want to be faithful, we want to be faithful.
  • 00:16:20.098 --> 00:16:22.733
  • I cannot entrust leadership to people who are not faithful,
  • 00:16:22.733 --> 00:16:26.104
  • Amen?
  • 00:16:26.104 --> 00:16:27.438
  • Neither can you.
  • 00:16:27.438 --> 00:16:29.006
  • But these are not the criteria.
  • 00:16:29.006 --> 00:16:31.142
  • In fact, when we have this blessed hope,
  • 00:16:31.142 --> 00:16:32.977
  • We purify ourselves in all these areas.
  • 00:16:32.977 --> 00:16:35.446
  • The bible says the blessed hope purifies.
  • 00:16:35.446 --> 00:16:37.281
  • If we don't preach the blessed hope,
  • 00:16:37.281 --> 00:16:39.117
  • People become worldly.
  • 00:16:39.117 --> 00:16:41.052
  • Their mind is tied to this earth.
  • 00:16:41.052 --> 00:16:44.388
  • They become carnal. are you with me?
  • 00:16:44.388 --> 00:16:49.393
  • So those things are important
  • 00:16:49.393 --> 00:16:50.728
  • But it is not a criteria for redemption
  • 00:16:50.728 --> 00:16:53.698
  • Because redemption of your body
  • 00:16:53.698 --> 00:16:56.067
  • Is by grace through faith,
  • 00:16:56.067 --> 00:16:57.635
  • Just like your spirit is also by grace through faith.
  • 00:16:57.635 --> 00:17:00.404
  • It is not half grace, half your merit,
  • 00:17:00.404 --> 00:17:04.375
  • Half grace, half your works,
  • 00:17:04.375 --> 00:17:07.078
  • Half grace, half your faithfulness.
  • 00:17:07.078 --> 00:17:09.580
  • No, no, no, no.
  • 00:17:09.580 --> 00:17:11.516
  • It's all grace.
  • 00:17:11.516 --> 00:17:13.184
  • And the redemption of your body is all grace.
  • 00:17:13.184 --> 00:17:15.786
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:17:15.786 --> 00:17:17.121
  • So, those who are christ's at his coming.
  • 00:17:17.121 --> 00:17:19.824
  • By the way, if you look at the context of this verse,
  • 00:17:19.824 --> 00:17:21.425
  • There's a lot of people, universalists we call them,
  • 00:17:21.425 --> 00:17:23.961
  • They teach that everybody is automatically saved,
  • 00:17:23.961 --> 00:17:26.597
  • Everybody, and they use the verse before this,
  • 00:17:26.597 --> 00:17:28.866
  • Verse 22: "as in adam all die,
  • 00:17:28.866 --> 00:17:31.068
  • Even so in christ all shall be made alive."
  • 00:17:31.068 --> 00:17:33.471
  • This easy? all shall be made alive.
  • 00:17:33.471 --> 00:17:34.939
  • But you must read things in context.
  • 00:17:34.939 --> 00:17:37.441
  • "but," there's a but there, "each one in his own order:
  • 00:17:37.441 --> 00:17:40.978
  • Christ the firstfruits,
  • 00:17:40.978 --> 00:17:42.313
  • Afterwards those who are christ's,"
  • 00:17:42.313 --> 00:17:44.515
  • So in christ all shall be made alive.
  • 00:17:44.515 --> 00:17:46.083
  • This all must be all in christ.
  • 00:17:46.083 --> 00:17:49.654
  • Context is king.
  • 00:17:49.654 --> 00:17:51.055
  • You take a verse out of context, like i've said for many years,
  • 00:17:51.055 --> 00:17:54.892
  • Take the text out of its context,
  • 00:17:54.892 --> 00:17:59.130
  • You left the word "con," okay?
  • 00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:02.366
  • So i'm here to tell you people, a lot of grace people
  • 00:18:02.366 --> 00:18:05.536
  • Have gone to one ditch
  • 00:18:05.536 --> 00:18:07.438
  • Where they're teaching on universalism,
  • 00:18:07.438 --> 00:18:08.773
  • Which means what?
  • 00:18:08.773 --> 00:18:10.107
  • Whether you accept christ or not, you are saved.
  • 00:18:10.107 --> 00:18:12.476
  • Be very careful of that teaching.
  • 00:18:12.476 --> 00:18:13.811
  • It's not a new teaching, it's actually an old, old heresy
  • 00:18:13.811 --> 00:18:17.448
  • That is now being revived, okay?
  • 00:18:17.448 --> 00:18:23.854
  • We have to do it god's way.
  • 00:18:23.854 --> 00:18:25.189
  • The bible says you have to believe, amen.
  • 00:18:25.189 --> 00:18:28.492
  • You have to receive.
  • 00:18:28.492 --> 00:18:31.829
  • It's not just automatic, god says,
  • 00:18:31.829 --> 00:18:33.164
  • "whether you receive me or not, you don't receive me,
  • 00:18:33.164 --> 00:18:35.600
  • All right, salvation come to your life."
  • 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:37.034
  • No, no, bible says very clearly, "whosoever believes,
  • 00:18:37.034 --> 00:18:40.004
  • He who has the son of god has life,
  • 00:18:40.004 --> 00:18:41.839
  • He who does not have the son of god has not life."
  • 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.275
  • Very clear.
  • 00:18:44.275 --> 00:18:47.645
  • Hmm?
  • 00:18:47.645 --> 00:18:49.313
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:18:49.313 --> 00:18:50.715
  • So people say, "well, corinthian church are carnal."
  • 00:18:50.715 --> 00:18:53.017
  • All right, you say carnal christians
  • 00:18:53.017 --> 00:18:54.352
  • Are not going up, unfaithful christians
  • 00:18:54.352 --> 00:18:56.020
  • Are not going up.
  • 00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:57.355
  • Let's read the most unfaithful carnal christians
  • 00:18:57.355 --> 00:19:00.825
  • That paul ever wrote to: corinthians.
  • 00:19:00.825 --> 00:19:04.095
  • In 1 corinthians, let's drop down
  • 00:19:04.095 --> 00:19:06.197
  • To verse 51.
  • 00:19:06.197 --> 00:19:07.698
  • "behold, i tell you a mystery."
  • 00:19:07.698 --> 00:19:10.901
  • Remember mystery is what?
  • 00:19:10.901 --> 00:19:12.236
  • Hidden in the old testament, but now revealed.
  • 00:19:12.236 --> 00:19:16.641
  • So god raised paul to unveil a lot of mysteries.
  • 00:19:16.641 --> 00:19:20.778
  • Now he says, "i'll tell you a mystery."
  • 00:19:20.778 --> 00:19:24.548
  • Who is the "you" there?
  • 00:19:24.548 --> 00:19:25.883
  • He's talking to the corinthians, the carnal christians.
  • 00:19:25.883 --> 00:19:30.187
  • He didn't say, i'm talking to those of you
  • 00:19:30.187 --> 00:19:31.522
  • Who are faithful, eh?
  • 00:19:31.522 --> 00:19:33.291
  • No, he's talking to corinthian christians.
  • 00:19:33.291 --> 00:19:36.160
  • And he's telling them, "we shall not all sleep,
  • 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.696
  • But we shall," what?
  • 00:19:38.696 --> 00:19:40.564
  • "all be changed."
  • 00:19:40.564 --> 00:19:42.366
  • A-l-l.
  • 00:19:42.366 --> 00:19:45.269
  • I said a-l-l.
  • 00:19:45.269 --> 00:19:47.405
  • We shall all be changed!
  • 00:19:47.405 --> 00:19:50.875
  • Carnal christian, half-past-six christian,
  • 00:19:50.875 --> 00:19:54.312
  • Good--half-past-six, make sure you're saved, you know?
  • 00:19:54.312 --> 00:19:57.315
  • Just because you attend new creation church
  • 00:19:57.315 --> 00:19:59.016
  • Doesn't mean you are saved
  • 00:19:59.016 --> 00:20:00.618
  • Any more than going to mcdonald's
  • 00:20:00.618 --> 00:20:02.320
  • Make you a big mac,
  • 00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:03.821
  • Or going into a garage makes you a car.
  • 00:20:03.821 --> 00:20:07.158
  • Your salvation does not happen by osmosis
  • 00:20:07.158 --> 00:20:09.060
  • Because you're in new creation church, amen.
  • 00:20:09.060 --> 00:20:11.295
  • You got to accept jesus christ.
  • 00:20:11.295 --> 00:20:13.764
  • You got to receive him.
  • 00:20:13.764 --> 00:20:16.200
  • And god has no grandchildren.
  • 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:17.868
  • Don't come telling me, you know, "my grandfather was a christian,
  • 00:20:17.868 --> 00:20:20.838
  • My parents attend church all the time."
  • 00:20:20.838 --> 00:20:22.940
  • Yeah, what are you? god's grandchild?
  • 00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:24.909
  • God has no grandchildren, only children.
  • 00:20:24.909 --> 00:20:28.412
  • So make sure you are saved.
  • 00:20:28.412 --> 00:20:31.048
  • When it comes to salvation, jesus told zacchaeus,
  • 00:20:31.048 --> 00:20:33.517
  • It's the only place where jesus says, "make haste!"
  • 00:20:33.517 --> 00:20:36.187
  • Jesus is always very cool, very relaxed.
  • 00:20:36.187 --> 00:20:38.255
  • It's the only place where he says,
  • 00:20:38.255 --> 00:20:39.590
  • "make haste, zacchaeus, i must come to your house,"
  • 00:20:39.590 --> 00:20:42.727
  • Because when it comes to salvation, make haste.
  • 00:20:42.727 --> 00:20:45.429
  • Do you understand why these partial theory people,
  • 00:20:45.429 --> 00:20:47.732
  • They like to say not everyone is going up because they are--
  • 00:20:47.732 --> 00:20:50.034
  • Many of them are sincere.
  • 00:20:50.034 --> 00:20:51.369
  • They want to put some people in fear.
  • 00:20:51.369 --> 00:20:54.638
  • But i find that fear is the worst motivator.
  • 00:20:54.638 --> 00:20:58.609
  • The bible says the love of christ constrains us, amen?
  • 00:20:58.609 --> 00:21:02.813
  • When the gulf war happened in the '90s,
  • 00:21:02.813 --> 00:21:05.216
  • Early '90s, you know, the churches reported--
  • 00:21:05.216 --> 00:21:08.185
  • I saw cnn, the churches reported
  • 00:21:08.185 --> 00:21:09.854
  • An all-time high of attendance all over america.
  • 00:21:09.854 --> 00:21:14.358
  • But it never lasted. why?
  • 00:21:14.358 --> 00:21:16.527
  • You cannot go to church out of fear.
  • 00:21:16.527 --> 00:21:19.597
  • It's the love of christ that constrains us.
  • 00:21:19.597 --> 00:21:22.366
  • Can i have a good amen?
  • 00:21:22.366 --> 00:21:23.934
  • We're not here to give the lord a bad name, people.
  • 00:21:23.934 --> 00:21:27.671
  • We are here to glorify his name.
  • 00:21:27.671 --> 00:21:30.174
  • We have only this life to live, you know, people.
  • 00:21:30.174 --> 00:21:33.010
  • Only what's done for christ will last.
  • 00:21:33.010 --> 00:21:36.213
  • Don't live to yourself.
  • 00:21:36.213 --> 00:21:37.681
  • It's a boring, boring life.
  • 00:21:37.681 --> 00:21:39.083
  • You end up with nothing.
  • 00:21:39.083 --> 00:21:40.418
  • Solomon found out he
  • 00:21:40.418 --> 00:21:41.752
  • Can have anything and everything.
  • 00:21:41.752 --> 00:21:43.921
  • You know, in ecclesiastes, it says vanity of vanities, why?
  • 00:21:43.921 --> 00:21:47.391
  • His heart is too big for this world.
  • 00:21:47.391 --> 00:21:49.260
  • God made his heart too big.
  • 00:21:49.260 --> 00:21:51.128
  • It was to contain jesus christ.
  • 00:21:51.128 --> 00:21:52.730
  • So everything in this world,
  • 00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:54.632
  • After that you get up with sand in your mouth.
  • 00:21:54.632 --> 00:21:56.634
  • It does not satisfy.
  • 00:21:56.634 --> 00:21:58.803
  • And the next book is song of songs.
  • 00:21:58.803 --> 00:22:00.604
  • Now, the object is too beautiful,
  • 00:22:00.604 --> 00:22:02.339
  • Too large for his heart.
  • 00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:05.643
  • In the french proverb, it's an embarrassment of riches.
  • 00:22:05.643 --> 00:22:09.013
  • What you see in song of songs, his beauty, his glory,
  • 00:22:09.013 --> 00:22:11.615
  • Is an embarrassment of riches, the riches of his grace.
  • 00:22:11.615 --> 00:22:16.487
  • We're still learning about his grace.
  • 00:22:16.487 --> 00:22:19.757
  • Are you all learning, people?
  • 00:22:19.757 --> 00:22:21.091
  • You see, there are two aspects of his coming.
  • 00:22:21.091 --> 00:22:24.195
  • The bright and morning star comes first for his people,
  • 00:22:24.195 --> 00:22:30.734
  • Before the day of the lord,
  • 00:22:30.734 --> 00:22:32.069
  • Which is the day of judgment, comes.
  • 00:22:32.069 --> 00:22:34.038
  • The star comes before the day.
  • 00:22:34.038 --> 00:22:36.807
  • He will come for his people, the new covenant people.
  • 00:22:36.807 --> 00:22:40.945
  • That's why it ends
  • 00:22:40.945 --> 00:22:42.279
  • With the bright and morning star.
  • 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:43.614
  • But the last chapter of the entire old testament
  • 00:22:43.614 --> 00:22:45.883
  • Is for jewish people.
  • 00:22:45.883 --> 00:22:47.218
  • He comes as the son of righteousness.
  • 00:22:47.218 --> 00:22:49.386
  • After we are raptured, he will come shining
  • 00:22:49.386 --> 00:22:52.723
  • Like the mount of transfiguration
  • 00:22:52.723 --> 00:22:54.925
  • And all israel will be saved.
  • 00:22:54.925 --> 00:22:57.361
  • You see, people, that again tells us
  • 00:22:57.361 --> 00:22:59.029
  • The two aspects of his coming.
  • 00:22:59.029 --> 00:23:00.798
  • We're not looking forward for the antichrist.
  • 00:23:00.798 --> 00:23:02.766
  • We're not looking forward for death.
  • 00:23:02.766 --> 00:23:04.835
  • We are looking forward for his son from heaven,
  • 00:23:04.835 --> 00:23:08.239
  • The one that we love who first loved us.
  • 00:23:08.239 --> 00:23:10.875
  • Let us live our lives for his glory, amen?
  • 00:23:10.875 --> 00:23:14.612
  • And it says: "and the spirit and the bride say--
  • 00:23:14.678 --> 00:23:19.250
  • And the spirit and the bride say--"
  • 00:23:19.250 --> 00:23:21.552
  • Come on, bride.
  • 00:23:21.552 --> 00:23:22.887
  • "and the spirit and the bride say--
  • 00:23:22.887 --> 00:23:24.788
  • And let him who hears say, 'come!'
  • 00:23:24.788 --> 00:23:27.091
  • And let him who thirsts come.
  • 00:23:27.091 --> 00:23:29.560
  • Whoever desires, let him take the water of life," how?
  • 00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:33.097
  • "freely," without merit, freely.
