Next on life today!
00:00:06.563 --> 00:00:09.165
>> it's like taking a light
00:00:09.165 --> 00:00:11.334
And putting a lampshade over it.
00:00:11.334 --> 00:00:14.003
It veils the brightness of the light.
00:00:14.003 --> 00:00:16.473
When we see christ come back again,
00:00:16.473 --> 00:00:18.508
The lampshade is going to be removed,
00:00:18.508 --> 00:00:20.543
And we'll see jesus fully in his role of
00:00:20.543 --> 00:00:23.113
Prophet, king, messiah, lord.
00:00:23.113 --> 00:00:25.715
And that ought to be a great comfort to us.
00:00:25.715 --> 00:00:27.784
That's what we long for.
00:00:27.784 --> 00:00:29.986

A famous church to me. i went and knelt when i was 18,
00:01:12.295 --> 00:01:13.329
I went and knelt when i was 18, and i'd never preached
00:01:13.396 --> 00:01:14.631
When i was 18, and i'd never preached since god had called me
00:01:14.697 --> 00:01:15.632
And i'd never preached since god had called me to preach.
00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:16.699
Since god had called me to preach. but i knelt down
00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:17.734
To preach. but i knelt down at dr. truitt's pulpit,
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:18.801
But i knelt down at dr. truitt's pulpit, and dr. criswell's.
00:01:18.868 --> 00:01:20.303
At dr. truitt's pulpit, and dr. criswell's. i went in there at night,
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.404
And dr. criswell's. i went in there at night, the building was open.

I went in there at night, the building was open. i was the only one
00:01:23.139 --> 00:01:24.107
The building was open. i was the only one in there, of course.
00:01:24.174 --> 00:01:25.441
I was the only one in there, of course. surprised it was open.
00:01:25.508 --> 00:01:27.277
In there, of course. surprised it was open. and i prayed god, please
00:01:27.343 --> 00:01:28.811
Surprised it was open. and i prayed god, please let me preach maybe someday
00:01:28.878 --> 00:01:30.213
And i prayed god, please let me preach maybe someday in a church like this,
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:31.714
Let me preach maybe someday in a church like this, because i'd never preached.
00:01:31.781 --> 00:01:33.516
In a church like this, because i'd never preached. i remember i wept.
00:01:33.583 --> 00:01:35.618
Because i'd never preached. i remember i wept. and then i remember i stood
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:36.686
I remember i wept. and then i remember i stood in that pulpit
00:01:36.753 --> 00:01:37.921
And then i remember i stood in that pulpit and preached a lot.
00:01:37.987 --> 00:01:39.222
In that pulpit and preached a lot. you and i have come
00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:41.357
And preached a lot. you and i have come together for a reason.
00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:43.626
You and i have come together for a reason. i think that even in
00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:44.994
Together for a reason. i think that even in these days, the last days,
00:01:45.061 --> 00:01:46.663
I think that even in these days, the last days, our last days, i'm in my 80s
00:01:46.729 --> 00:01:49.265
These days, the last days, our last days, i'm in my 80s and you haven't
00:01:49.332 --> 00:01:50.400
Our last days, i'm in my 80s and you haven't even reached your 70s.
00:01:50.466 --> 00:01:51.534
And you haven't even reached your 70s. you're still just such a kid!
00:01:51.601 --> 00:01:53.369
Even reached your 70s. you're still just such a kid! anyway, the thing is that
00:01:53.436 --> 00:01:56.806
You're still just such a kid! anyway, the thing is that jesus must be revealed
00:01:56.873 --> 00:01:58.508
Anyway, the thing is that jesus must be revealed clearly these days.
00:01:58.575 --> 00:02:00.610
Jesus must be revealed clearly these days. we can have
00:02:00.677 --> 00:02:01.778
Clearly these days. we can have the greatest ingathering
00:02:01.844 --> 00:02:03.012
We can have the greatest ingathering in the history of the world.
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.447
The greatest ingathering in the history of the world. you've written a book here
00:02:04.514 --> 00:02:05.715
In the history of the world. you've written a book here that i think you could take
00:02:05.782 --> 00:02:07.116
You've written a book here that i think you could take the chapter titles
00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:10.119
That i think you could take the chapter titles and go down: "jesus,
00:02:10.186 --> 00:02:12.622
The chapter titles and go down: "jesus, the subject of prophecy,
00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:14.057
And go down: "jesus, the subject of prophecy, the messiah."
00:02:14.123 --> 00:02:15.358
The subject of prophecy, the messiah." "jesus the prophet,
00:02:15.425 --> 00:02:16.492
The messiah." "jesus the prophet, the lamb, the conqueror,
00:02:16.559 --> 00:02:17.794
"jesus the prophet, the lamb, the conqueror, or the king."
00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:18.928
The lamb, the conqueror, or the king." "jesus the judge."
00:02:18.995 --> 00:02:19.996
"jesus the lord."
00:02:20.096 --> 00:02:21.598
"jesus the lord." "jesus our friend."
00:02:21.664 --> 00:02:23.800
"jesus the lord." "jesus our friend." don't you miss that!
00:02:23.866 --> 00:02:25.368
"jesus our friend." don't you miss that! would you like to touch
00:02:25.435 --> 00:02:26.402
Don't you miss that! would you like to touch on some of those chapters?
00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:27.770
Would you like to touch on some of those chapters? dr. jeffress: for those
00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:29.005
Who may have missed
00:02:29.105 --> 00:02:30.139
Who may have missed the last program, this book
00:02:30.206 --> 00:02:31.407
Who may have missed the last program, this book jesus revealed in
00:02:31.507 --> 00:02:32.609
The last program, this book jesus revealed in the end times is something
00:02:32.709 --> 00:02:33.710
Jesus revealed in the end times is something i've never done before.
00:02:33.776 --> 00:02:34.744
Written books, and
00:02:36.813 --> 00:02:37.780
Written books, and taught seminary classes
00:02:37.847 --> 00:02:39.182
Taught seminary classes on the book of revelation
00:02:39.249 --> 00:02:40.516
On the book of revelation and end time prophecies.
00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:42.218
And end time prophecies. i don't think you can
00:02:42.285 --> 00:02:43.253
I don't think you can understand the bible
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:44.354
Understand the bible if you don't understand
00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:45.421
Because it's filled
00:02:46.756 --> 00:02:48.324
Because it's filled on every page of scripture
00:02:48.391 --> 00:02:49.726
Because it's filled on every page of scripture with the same message:
00:02:49.792 --> 00:02:51.027
On every page of scripture with the same message: jesus is coming back again.
00:02:51.094 --> 00:02:53.129
With the same message: jesus is coming back again. but i've always approached
00:02:53.196 --> 00:02:54.530
Jesus is coming back again. but i've always approached the end times by looking
00:02:54.597 --> 00:02:55.765
But i've always approached the end times by looking at the events of
00:02:55.832 --> 00:02:57.033
The end times by looking at the events of the end times: the rapture,
00:02:57.100 --> 00:02:58.568
At the events of the end times: the rapture, the tribulation,
00:02:58.635 --> 00:02:59.769
The end times: the rapture, the tribulation, the second coming,
00:02:59.836 --> 00:03:00.937
The tribulation, the second coming, the millennium,
00:03:01.004 --> 00:03:02.038
The second coming, the millennium, and all of this,
00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:03.239
The millennium, and all of this, which is all-important.
00:03:03.306 --> 00:03:04.574
And all of this, which is all-important. but really, bible prophecy
00:03:04.641 --> 00:03:06.276
Which is all-important. but really, bible prophecy is not about just what
00:03:06.342 --> 00:03:08.011
But really, bible prophecy is not about just what is coming, it's who is coming.
00:03:08.077 --> 00:03:10.913
Is not about just what is coming, it's who is coming. in the end,
00:03:10.980 --> 00:03:11.914
Is coming, it's who is coming. in the end, it's all about him.
00:03:11.981 --> 00:03:13.483
In the end, it's all about him. you look in the book
00:03:13.549 --> 00:03:14.684
It's all about him. you look in the book of revelation, it's titled
00:03:14.751 --> 00:03:15.885
You look in the book of revelation, it's titled the revelation,
00:03:15.952 --> 00:03:17.353
Of revelation, it's titled the revelation, literally the unveiling
00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:19.222
The revelation, literally the unveiling of jesus christ.
00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:21.190
Literally the unveiling of jesus christ. it's about who jesus is.
00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:23.426
Of jesus christ. it's about who jesus is. i have discovered
00:03:23.493 --> 00:03:25.128
It's about who jesus is. i have discovered in writing this book,
00:03:25.194 --> 00:03:26.462
I have discovered in writing this book, i didn't know this,
00:03:26.529 --> 00:03:27.563
In writing this book, i didn't know this, i should have known it, but
00:03:27.630 --> 00:03:29.299
I didn't know this, i should have known it, but jesus is the most portrayed
00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:31.768
I should have known it, but jesus is the most portrayed human character in literature,
00:03:31.834 --> 00:03:34.304
Jesus is the most portrayed human character in literature, in movies, and paintings,
00:03:34.370 --> 00:03:35.772
Human character in literature, in movies, and paintings, anywhere.
00:03:35.838 --> 00:03:36.973
In movies, and paintings, anywhere. he is the most portrayed
00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:38.241
Anywhere. he is the most portrayed person.
00:03:38.308 --> 00:03:39.275
He is the most portrayed person. yet, all of the portrayals
00:03:39.342 --> 00:03:40.910
Person. yet, all of the portrayals about jesus are
00:03:40.977 --> 00:03:42.478
Yet, all of the portrayals about jesus are of his first coming:
00:03:42.545 --> 00:03:44.080
About jesus are of his first coming: the baby in the manger,
00:03:44.147 --> 00:03:45.948
Of his first coming: the baby in the manger, kneeling by
00:03:46.015 --> 00:03:47.050
The baby in the manger, kneeling by the rock of gethsemane,
00:03:47.116 --> 00:03:48.551
Kneeling by the rock of gethsemane, hanging on a cross.
00:03:48.618 --> 00:03:50.153
The rock of gethsemane, hanging on a cross. very few pictures are
00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:51.421
Hanging on a cross. very few pictures are of jesus as he is
00:03:51.487 --> 00:03:53.389
Very few pictures are of jesus as he is at his second coming.
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:55.558
Of jesus as he is at his second coming. contrary to people's
00:03:55.625 --> 00:03:56.759
At his second coming. contrary to people's thoughts, jesus wasn't
00:03:56.826 --> 00:03:58.061
Contrary to people's thoughts, jesus wasn't this little wimpy rabbi who
00:03:58.127 --> 00:03:59.929
Thoughts, jesus wasn't this little wimpy rabbi who went around the countryside
00:03:59.996 --> 00:04:01.431
This little wimpy rabbi who went around the countryside saying nice things to people.
00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:03.866
Went around the countryside saying nice things to people. he was the king of kings
00:04:03.933 --> 00:04:05.335
Saying nice things to people. he was the king of kings and lord of lords.
00:04:05.401 --> 00:04:06.602
He was the king of kings and lord of lords. but in his first coming,
00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:08.137
And lord of lords. but in his first coming, many of his attributes
00:04:08.204 --> 00:04:09.806
But in his first coming, many of his attributes weren't done away with,
00:04:09.872 --> 00:04:11.240
Many of his attributes weren't done away with, they were hidden,
00:04:11.307 --> 00:04:12.408
Weren't done away with, they were hidden, they were veiled.
00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:13.743
They were hidden, they were veiled. he voluntarily hid
00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:15.378
They were veiled. he voluntarily hid some of his attributes.
00:04:15.445 --> 00:04:17.146
He voluntarily hid some of his attributes. when his disciples said,
00:04:17.213 --> 00:04:18.648
Some of his attributes. when his disciples said, "lord, when are you coming?
00:04:18.715 --> 00:04:20.516
When his disciples said, "lord, when are you coming? when will
00:04:20.583 --> 00:04:21.684
"lord, when are you coming? when will the son of man come?"
00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:22.819
When will the son of man come?" he said, "no man knows,
00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:24.053
The son of man come?" he said, "no man knows, including the son of man.
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:25.221
He said, "no man knows, including the son of man. only god the father knows."
00:04:25.288 --> 00:04:26.556
Including the son of man. only god the father knows." that's puzzled me.
00:04:26.622 --> 00:04:27.724
Only god the father knows." that's puzzled me. but jesus had his omniscience
00:04:27.790 --> 00:04:31.627
That's puzzled me. but jesus had his omniscience veiled temporarily.
00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:33.563
But jesus had his omniscience veiled temporarily. it's like taking a light
00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:35.698
Veiled temporarily. it's like taking a light and putting a lampshade
00:04:35.765 --> 00:04:36.866
It's like taking a light and putting a lampshade over it.
00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:38.501
And putting a lampshade over it. it veils the brightness
00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:40.169
Over it. it veils the brightness of the light.
00:04:40.236 --> 00:04:41.404
It veils the brightness of the light. when we see christ
00:04:41.471 --> 00:04:42.739
Of the light. when we see christ come back again,
00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:44.006
When we see christ come back again, the lampshade is going
00:04:44.073 --> 00:04:45.174
Come back again, the lampshade is going to be removed,
00:04:45.241 --> 00:04:46.275
The lampshade is going to be removed, and we'll see jesus fully
00:04:46.342 --> 00:04:47.543
To be removed, and we'll see jesus fully in his role of prophet,
00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:48.745
And we'll see jesus fully in his role of prophet, king, messiah, lord.
00:04:48.811 --> 00:04:50.613
In his role of prophet, king, messiah, lord. that ought to be
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.948
King, messiah, lord. that ought to be a great comfort to us.
00:04:52.014 --> 00:04:53.216
That ought to be a great comfort to us. that's what we long for.
00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:54.550
A great comfort to us. that's what we long for. not just events,
00:04:54.617 --> 00:04:55.651
That's what we long for. not just events, but we long for
00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:56.819
Not just events, but we long for the return of jesus.
00:04:56.886 --> 00:04:58.454
But we long for the return of jesus. as the writer of revelation
00:04:58.521 --> 00:04:59.589
The return of jesus. as the writer of revelation says, "come, lord jesus, come!
00:04:59.655 --> 00:05:01.858
As the writer of revelation says, "come, lord jesus, come! come quickly!"
00:05:01.924 --> 00:05:03.126
Says, "come, lord jesus, come! come quickly!" that's what this book
00:05:03.192 --> 00:05:04.327
Come quickly!" that's what this book is about.
00:05:04.394 --> 00:05:05.495

Look forward to when christ comes back again. i've got to say one thing,
00:05:11.134 --> 00:05:12.201
Christ comes back again. i've got to say one thing, james.
00:05:12.268 --> 00:05:13.269
I've got to say one thing, james. you made me think about this
00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:14.504
James. you made me think about this when you said about
00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:16.172
You made me think about this when you said about our time on earth
00:05:16.239 --> 00:05:17.306
When you said about our time on earth being limited.
00:05:17.373 --> 00:05:18.441
Our time on earth being limited. years ago, when i first
00:05:18.508 --> 00:05:19.642
Being limited. years ago, when i first started working with

He and i became great friends early on. he would have me on
00:05:33.956 --> 00:05:35.124
Great friends early on. he would have me on his show all the time.
00:05:35.191 --> 00:05:36.192
He would have me on his show all the time. a lot of times to rib me
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.360
His show all the time. a lot of times to rib me a little bit about my faith,
00:05:37.427 --> 00:05:38.661
A lot of times to rib me a little bit about my faith, but he always gave me
00:05:38.728 --> 00:05:39.962
A little bit about my faith, but he always gave me the chance to preach
00:05:40.029 --> 00:05:41.063
But he always gave me the chance to preach the gospel.
00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:42.265
The chance to preach the gospel. one night we were sitting
00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:43.366

And he said, "pastor, do you believe you're going to be alive to see jesus
00:05:47.236 --> 00:05:48.671
Do you believe you're going to be alive to see jesus come back again?"
00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:50.440
To be alive to see jesus come back again?" i said, "well, allen,

Come back again?" i said, "well, allen, i don't know, but it doesn't
00:05:51.641 --> 00:05:52.909
I said, "well, allen, i don't know, but it doesn't make any difference."
00:05:52.975 --> 00:05:54.177
I don't know, but it doesn't make any difference." he said, "what do you mean it
00:05:54.243 --> 00:05:55.311
I said, "well,
00:05:56.913 --> 00:05:58.047
I said, "well, i'm 55 years old."
00:05:58.114 --> 00:05:59.215
I'm 55 years old." i was at the time.
00:05:59.282 --> 00:06:00.316
I was at the time. i said, "i'm 55 years old
00:06:00.383 --> 00:06:01.417
I said, "i'm 55 years old and i know in the next 30
00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:02.785
And i know in the next 30 or 40 years one of
00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:04.120
Either he's coming
00:06:06.055 --> 00:06:07.623
Either he's coming or i'm going.
00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:08.958
Either he's coming or i'm going. but the end is close for me,
00:06:09.025 --> 00:06:10.860
Or i'm going. but the end is close for me, and it's close for you
00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:12.094
But the end is close for me, and it's close for you as well,

As well, and the most important thing is to be ready."
00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:15.865
And the most important thing is to be ready." james: you go through that
00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:17.133
Is to be ready." james: you go through that when you're talking about
00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:18.301
James: you go through that when you're talking about all the different aspects.
00:06:18.367 --> 00:06:19.502
I'm going to glance at
00:06:19.602 --> 00:06:21.471
I'm going to glance at a couple of these here
00:06:21.537 --> 00:06:22.705
I'm going to glance at a couple of these here and just ask you to expound
00:06:22.772 --> 00:06:24.907
A couple of these here and just ask you to expound on them because i think
00:06:24.974 --> 00:06:26.342
And just ask you to expound on them because i think people would be
00:06:26.409 --> 00:06:27.643
On them because i think people would be curious about them.
00:06:27.710 --> 00:06:28.911
People would be curious about them. you know, you talk about him
00:06:28.978 --> 00:06:30.279
Being the prophet
00:06:30.379 --> 00:06:31.314
Being the prophet and the lamb.
00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:32.782
Being the prophet and the lamb. you talk about him
00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:33.983
And the lamb. you talk about him being the conqueror
00:06:34.050 --> 00:06:35.151
You talk about him being the conqueror and the king.
00:06:35.218 --> 00:06:36.285
Being the conqueror and the king. would you touch on
00:06:36.352 --> 00:06:37.353
And the king. would you touch on some of those four?
00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:38.521
Would you touch on some of those four? dr. jeffress: well,
00:06:38.588 --> 00:06:39.622
Some of those four? dr. jeffress: well, first of all,
00:06:39.689 --> 00:06:40.790
Dr. jeffress: well, first of all, take jesus the prophet.
00:06:40.857 --> 00:06:42.959
First of all, take jesus the prophet. it's interesting.
00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:44.260
Take jesus the prophet. it's interesting. jesus was able to
00:06:44.327 --> 00:06:45.695
It's interesting. jesus was able to accurately foretell things
00:06:45.761 --> 00:06:47.163
Jesus was able to accurately foretell things about his own life
00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:48.231
Accurately foretell things about his own life and ministry, including
00:06:48.297 --> 00:06:49.398
About his own life and ministry, including that he would be crucified.
00:06:49.465 --> 00:06:51.000
And ministry, including that he would be crucified. he'd be betrayed for
00:06:51.067 --> 00:06:52.001
That he would be crucified. he'd be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:53.436
He'd be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. he made all of
00:06:53.503 --> 00:06:54.604
30 pieces of silver. he made all of those predictions.
00:06:54.670 --> 00:06:55.605
He made all of those predictions. every prediction
00:06:55.671 --> 00:06:56.672
Those predictions. every prediction jesus made came true
00:06:56.739 --> 00:06:58.741
Every prediction jesus made came true at his first coming.
00:06:58.808 --> 00:07:01.344
Jesus made came true at his first coming. the chances of any one man
00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:03.212
At his first coming. the chances of any one man in history fulfilling
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.580
The chances of any one man in history fulfilling those prophecies, the chances
00:07:04.647 --> 00:07:06.382
In history fulfilling those prophecies, the chances are infinitesimal.
00:07:06.449 --> 00:07:08.618
Those prophecies, the chances are infinitesimal. in fact, somebody said,
00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:09.852
Are infinitesimal. in fact, somebody said, that for one man in history
00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:11.420
In fact, somebody said, that for one man in history randomly to fulfill
00:07:11.487 --> 00:07:13.155
That for one man in history randomly to fulfill eight of those prophecies
00:07:13.222 --> 00:07:15.024
Randomly to fulfill eight of those prophecies is 1 in 10 to the 162nd power.
00:07:15.091 --> 00:07:18.861
Eight of those prophecies is 1 in 10 to the 162nd power. that's a ten with
00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:20.162
Is 1 in 10 to the 162nd power. that's a ten with 162 zeros behind it.
00:07:20.229 --> 00:07:23.132
That's a ten with 162 zeros behind it. one chance in that.
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.700
162 zeros behind it. one chance in that. let me tell you,
00:07:24.767 --> 00:07:25.868
One chance in that. let me tell you, the audience,
00:07:25.935 --> 00:07:27.169
Let me tell you, the audience, what that would be like.
00:07:27.236 --> 00:07:28.437
The audience, what that would be like. let's just say that
00:07:28.504 --> 00:07:29.872
What that would be like. let's just say that you live someplace else,
00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:31.374
Let's just say that you live someplace else, james.
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:32.475
You live someplace else, james. i invited you to come
00:07:32.542 --> 00:07:33.543
James. i invited you to come to texas, and i said,
00:07:33.609 --> 00:07:34.610
I invited you to come to texas, and i said, "james, i want to take you
00:07:34.677 --> 00:07:35.778
To texas, and i said, "james, i want to take you on a tour of texas.
00:07:35.845 --> 00:07:37.246
"james, i want to take you on a tour of texas. but before that,
00:07:37.313 --> 00:07:38.247
On a tour of texas. but before that, we're going to fill up
00:07:38.314 --> 00:07:39.282
But before that, we're going to fill up the state of texas with
00:07:39.348 --> 00:07:40.449
We're going to fill up the state of texas with silver dollars two feet deep.
00:07:40.516 --> 00:07:43.019
The state of texas with silver dollars two feet deep. so we fill the entire state
00:07:43.085 --> 00:07:44.787
Silver dollars two feet deep. so we fill the entire state with silver dollars
00:07:44.854 --> 00:07:45.821
So we fill the entire state with silver dollars two feet deep.
00:07:45.888 --> 00:07:47.290
With silver dollars two feet deep. i take one of those
00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:48.324
Two feet deep. i take one of those silver dollars, and i put
00:07:48.391 --> 00:07:49.425
I take one of those silver dollars, and i put a black x on it, threw it
00:07:49.492 --> 00:07:50.993
Silver dollars, and i put a black x on it, threw it in the pile, and mixed it up,
00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:52.662
A black x on it, threw it in the pile, and mixed it up, and you and i started walking.
00:07:52.728 --> 00:07:54.096
In the pile, and mixed it up, and you and i started walking. we went from amarillo
00:07:54.163 --> 00:07:55.197
And you and i started walking. we went from amarillo to brownsville.
00:07:55.264 --> 00:07:56.699
We went from amarillo to brownsville. we went from el paso
00:07:56.766 --> 00:07:58.768
To brownsville. we went from el paso to shreveport.
00:07:58.834 --> 00:08:00.202
We went from el paso to shreveport. and randomly, i said,
00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:01.304
To shreveport. and randomly, i said, "james, pick up
00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:02.471
And randomly, i said, "james, pick up one of those silver dollars."
00:08:02.538 --> 00:08:04.707
"james, pick up one of those silver dollars." the chance that it would be
00:08:04.774 --> 00:08:05.875
One of those silver dollars." the chance that it would be the one with the x on it is
00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:08.144
The chance that it would be the one with the x on it is 1 in 10 to the 162nd power;
00:08:08.210 --> 00:08:11.080
The one with the x on it is 1 in 10 to the 162nd power; the same chance
00:08:11.147 --> 00:08:12.582
1 in 10 to the 162nd power; the same chance that jesus could have
00:08:12.648 --> 00:08:13.983
The same chance that jesus could have accidentally fulfilled
00:08:14.050 --> 00:08:15.751
That jesus could have accidentally fulfilled all of those prophecies
00:08:15.818 --> 00:08:17.119
Accidentally fulfilled all of those prophecies about his life.
00:08:17.186 --> 00:08:18.487
All of those prophecies about his life. now, here's the point.
00:08:18.554 --> 00:08:20.389
About his life. now, here's the point. if jesus was correct
00:08:20.456 --> 00:08:22.658
Now, here's the point. if jesus was correct in all of the prophecies
00:08:22.725 --> 00:08:24.260
If jesus was correct in all of the prophecies he made about
00:08:24.327 --> 00:08:25.494
In all of the prophecies he made about his first coming,
00:08:25.561 --> 00:08:26.929
He made about his first coming, can't we trust him
00:08:26.996 --> 00:08:28.064
His first coming, can't we trust him to fulfill the prophecies
00:08:28.130 --> 00:08:29.231
Can't we trust him to fulfill the prophecies he's made about
00:08:29.298 --> 00:08:30.333
To fulfill the prophecies he's made about his second coming?
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:31.634
He's made about his second coming? in matthew 24 and 25,
00:08:31.701 --> 00:08:33.069
His second coming? in matthew 24 and 25, jesus told us exactly
00:08:33.135 --> 00:08:34.570
In matthew 24 and 25, jesus told us exactly what's going to happen.
00:08:34.637 --> 00:08:35.605
Jesus told us exactly what's going to happen. not when it's going
00:08:35.671 --> 00:08:36.639
What's going to happen. not when it's going to happen, but he told us.
00:08:36.706 --> 00:08:37.840
Not when it's going to happen, but he told us. he told us
00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:39.108
To happen, but he told us. he told us he's coming back again.
00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:40.509
He told us he's coming back again. how do i know he's going
00:08:40.576 --> 00:08:41.677
He's coming back again. how do i know he's going to prepare a place for us
00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:43.646
How do i know he's going to prepare a place for us and that he'll come again
00:08:43.713 --> 00:08:45.081
To prepare a place for us and that he'll come again and take us into himself?
00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:46.415
And that he'll come again and take us into himself? he promised it.
00:08:46.482 --> 00:08:47.750
And take us into himself? he promised it. that promise of his
00:08:47.817 --> 00:08:48.985
He promised it. that promise of his second coming is just as sure
00:08:49.051 --> 00:08:51.520
That promise of his second coming is just as sure as the word of god is.
00:08:51.587 --> 00:08:53.889
Second coming is just as sure as the word of god is. that's why we can bank
00:08:53.956 --> 00:08:55.057
As the word of god is. that's why we can bank on everything jesus said
00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:56.692
That's why we can bank on everything jesus said as being true.
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.960
On everything jesus said as being true. james: when he says,
00:08:58.027 --> 00:09:00.496
As being true. james: when he says, when the bible says
00:09:00.563 --> 00:09:01.664
James: when he says, when the bible says he's the conqueror
00:09:01.731 --> 00:09:02.932
When the bible says he's the conqueror and he's the king,
00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:04.533
He's the conqueror and he's the king, how do you expound on those?
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.168
And he's the king, how do you expound on those? dr. jeffress: well, jesus,
00:09:06.235 --> 00:09:07.303
How do you expound on those? dr. jeffress: well, jesus, we're going to see him
00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:08.537
Dr. jeffress: well, jesus, we're going to see him as conqueror when he comes
00:09:08.604 --> 00:09:10.039
We're going to see him as conqueror when he comes to the battle of armageddon,
00:09:10.106 --> 00:09:11.540
As conqueror when he comes to the battle of armageddon, he's going to defeat
00:09:11.607 --> 00:09:12.808
To the battle of armageddon, he's going to defeat all of his foes.
00:09:12.875 --> 00:09:13.976
He's going to defeat all of his foes. and his foes are our foes.
00:09:14.043 --> 00:09:15.845
All of his foes. and his foes are our foes. he's going to destroy them
00:09:15.911 --> 00:09:17.046
And his foes are our foes. he's going to destroy them once and forever.
00:09:17.113 --> 00:09:18.848
He's going to destroy them once and forever. people missed the coming
00:09:18.914 --> 00:09:21.283
Once and forever. people missed the coming of christ the first time.
00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:22.585
People missed the coming of christ the first time. the reason the jews
00:09:22.652 --> 00:09:23.919
Of christ the first time. the reason the jews missed out on jesus
00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:25.955
The reason the jews missed out on jesus is that they thought jesus
00:09:26.022 --> 00:09:27.256
Missed out on jesus is that they thought jesus would be that conquering king
00:09:27.323 --> 00:09:28.824
Is that they thought jesus would be that conquering king at his first coming.
00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:30.192
Would be that conquering king at his first coming. they wanted to be delivered
00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:31.694
At his first coming. they wanted to be delivered from the oppression
00:09:31.761 --> 00:09:32.962
They wanted to be delivered from the oppression of the roman government.
00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:34.597
From the oppression of the roman government. and when he didn't deliver
00:09:34.664 --> 00:09:36.032
Of the roman government. and when he didn't deliver as they thought he should,
00:09:36.098 --> 00:09:37.333
And when he didn't deliver as they thought he should, they rejected him.
00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:38.868
As they thought he should, they rejected him. jesus will conquer, but
00:09:38.934 --> 00:09:40.569
They rejected him. jesus will conquer, but that wasn't his purpose
00:09:40.636 --> 00:09:41.904
Jesus will conquer, but that wasn't his purpose in his first coming.
00:09:41.971 --> 00:09:43.105
That wasn't his purpose in his first coming. it was to be the suffering
00:09:43.172 --> 00:09:44.306
In his first coming. it was to be the suffering savior, the one who would
00:09:44.373 --> 00:09:45.708
It was to be the suffering savior, the one who would take care of our sin problem.
00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:47.677
Back again, he's going
00:09:49.011 --> 00:09:50.346
Back again, he's going to conquer and defeat
00:09:50.413 --> 00:09:51.681
To conquer and defeat all evil in the world.
00:09:51.747 --> 00:09:53.816
All evil in the world. jesus said in john 16:33,
00:09:53.883 --> 00:09:56.118
Going to have tribulation.
00:09:57.653 --> 00:09:59.488
Going to have tribulation. but be of good cheer for
00:09:59.555 --> 00:10:01.157
Going to have tribulation. but be of good cheer for i have overcome the world."
00:10:01.223 --> 00:10:03.459
But be of good cheer for i have overcome the world." we may be talking to some
00:10:03.526 --> 00:10:04.794
I have overcome the world." we may be talking to some people right now who are
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:06.395
We may be talking to some people right now who are honestly disappointed
00:10:06.462 --> 00:10:07.897
People right now who are honestly disappointed in jesus.
00:10:07.963 --> 00:10:09.231
Honestly disappointed in jesus. they don't think
00:10:09.298 --> 00:10:10.399
In jesus. they don't think he's come through
00:10:10.466 --> 00:10:11.467
They don't think he's come through as they think he should.
00:10:11.534 --> 00:10:12.702
He's come through as they think he should. they're still sick.
00:10:12.768 --> 00:10:14.303
As they think he should. they're still sick. they're still suffering
00:10:14.370 --> 00:10:15.671
They're still sick. they're still suffering the breakup of a marriage.
00:10:15.738 --> 00:10:17.440
They're still suffering the breakup of a marriage. they still feel isolated.
00:10:17.506 --> 00:10:19.341
The breakup of a marriage. they still feel isolated. they may be financially
00:10:19.408 --> 00:10:20.676
They still feel isolated. they may be financially impoverished.
00:10:20.743 --> 00:10:21.711
They may be financially impoverished. and you may be thinking,
00:10:21.777 --> 00:10:23.446
Impoverished. and you may be thinking, what good is jesus if
00:10:23.512 --> 00:10:24.714
And you may be thinking, what good is jesus if he doesn't take care
00:10:24.780 --> 00:10:25.881
What good is jesus if he doesn't take care of these problems?
00:10:25.948 --> 00:10:27.383
He doesn't take care of these problems? well, the answer to that
00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:28.551
Of these problems? well, the answer to that is just wait.
00:10:28.617 --> 00:10:29.952
Well, the answer to that is just wait. jesus is coming back again,
00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:32.354
Is just wait. jesus is coming back again, and he will dispense
00:10:32.421 --> 00:10:33.622
Jesus is coming back again, and he will dispense and dispose of evil
00:10:33.689 --> 00:10:34.990
And he will dispense and dispose of evil forever and ever.
00:10:35.057 --> 00:10:36.525
James: when you say jesus,
00:10:36.625 --> 00:10:38.527
James: when you say jesus, in the last chapters,
00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:40.396
James: when you say jesus, in the last chapters, you talk about jesus
00:10:40.463 --> 00:10:41.764
In the last chapters, you talk about jesus as the king
00:10:41.831 --> 00:10:42.798
You talk about jesus as the king and jesus as the lord.
00:10:42.865 --> 00:10:44.033
As the king and jesus as the lord. expound on those
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.067
Just a little bit.
00:10:45.167 --> 00:10:46.302
Just a little bit. dr. jeffress: well, jesus
00:10:46.368 --> 00:10:47.436
Just a little bit. dr. jeffress: well, jesus as king, you know the jews
00:10:47.503 --> 00:10:48.738
Dr. jeffress: well, jesus as king, you know the jews wanted not only somebody
00:10:48.804 --> 00:10:50.372
As king, you know the jews wanted not only somebody who would conquer rome
00:10:50.439 --> 00:10:51.707
Wanted not only somebody who would conquer rome but somebody who would
00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:53.042
Who would conquer rome but somebody who would fulfill the davidic promise
00:10:53.109 --> 00:10:54.977
But somebody who would fulfill the davidic promise that he would sit
00:10:55.044 --> 00:10:56.545
Fulfill the davidic promise that he would sit on the throne of david
00:10:56.612 --> 00:10:58.380
That he would sit on the throne of david and rule the world
00:10:58.447 --> 00:10:59.749
On the throne of david and rule the world in perfect righteousness.
00:10:59.815 --> 00:11:01.851
And rule the world in perfect righteousness. isaiah looked forward
00:11:01.917 --> 00:11:03.152
In perfect righteousness. isaiah looked forward to that time when there would
00:11:03.219 --> 00:11:04.754
Isaiah looked forward to that time when there would be a renovated earth
00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:06.355
To that time when there would be a renovated earth and there wouldn't be death
00:11:06.422 --> 00:11:08.324
Be a renovated earth and there wouldn't be death and destruction
00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:09.325
And there wouldn't be death and destruction and so forth.
00:11:09.391 --> 00:11:10.626
And destruction and so forth. that time is coming.
00:11:10.693 --> 00:11:11.894
And so forth. that time is coming. it's the millennium.
00:11:11.961 --> 00:11:13.062
That time is coming. it's the millennium. it's the thousand-year
00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:14.130
It's the millennium. it's the thousand-year reign of christ.
00:11:14.196 --> 00:11:15.397
It's the thousand-year reign of christ. that's not a subject for us
00:11:15.464 --> 00:11:16.599
Reign of christ. that's not a subject for us to argue about and debate.
00:11:16.665 --> 00:11:18.868
That's not a subject for us to argue about and debate. it's a great truth that
00:11:18.934 --> 00:11:20.236
To argue about and debate. it's a great truth that god's going to keep
00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:21.403
It's a great truth that god's going to keep his promise to israel.
00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:22.972
God's going to keep his promise to israel. that's why it's so important
00:11:23.038 --> 00:11:24.473
His promise to israel. that's why it's so important that we have the right
00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:25.741
That's why it's so important that we have the right attitude toward israel.
00:11:25.808 --> 00:11:27.610
That we have the right attitude toward israel. look, the jews in israel
00:11:27.676 --> 00:11:29.044
Attitude toward israel. look, the jews in israel need jesus christ
00:11:29.111 --> 00:11:30.212
Look, the jews in israel need jesus christ just as much as we do.
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:32.014
Need jesus christ just as much as we do. you don't go to heaven
00:11:32.081 --> 00:11:33.215
Just as much as we do. you don't go to heaven for being a jew,
00:11:33.282 --> 00:11:34.383
You don't go to heaven for being a jew, but god made a promise
00:11:34.450 --> 00:11:35.618
For being a jew, but god made a promise to believing jews that
00:11:35.684 --> 00:11:36.685
But god made a promise to believing jews that they're going to inhabit
00:11:36.752 --> 00:11:37.753
To believing jews that they're going to inhabit that land that
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:38.821
They're going to inhabit that land that they're having a war over
00:11:38.888 --> 00:11:40.156
That land that they're having a war over right now.
00:11:40.222 --> 00:11:41.223
They're having a war over right now. one day, it's going
00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:42.324
Right now. one day, it's going to belong to them.
00:11:42.391 --> 00:11:43.425
One day, it's going to belong to them. not up there someplace but
00:11:43.492 --> 00:11:44.593
To belong to them. not up there someplace but right here in jerusalem.
00:11:44.660 --> 00:11:46.162
Not up there someplace but right here in jerusalem. that is their land.
00:11:46.228 --> 00:11:48.230
Right here in jerusalem. that is their land. when jesus comes back again,
00:11:48.297 --> 00:11:49.999
That is their land. when jesus comes back again, we're going to see him
00:11:50.065 --> 00:11:51.133
When jesus comes back again, we're going to see him fulfilling all of
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.201
We're going to see him fulfilling all of his promises to israel.
00:11:52.268 --> 00:11:53.502
Fulfilling all of his promises to israel. now, people naturally say,
00:11:53.569 --> 00:11:55.204
His promises to israel. now, people naturally say, well, i'm not a jew.
00:11:55.271 --> 00:11:56.572
Now, people naturally say, well, i'm not a jew. what difference
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:57.673
Well, i'm not a jew. what difference does that make to me?
00:11:57.740 --> 00:11:58.774
What difference does that make to me? look, if jesus doesn't
00:11:58.841 --> 00:12:00.009
Does that make to me? look, if jesus doesn't keep his promise to israel,
00:12:00.075 --> 00:12:01.210
Look, if jesus doesn't keep his promise to israel, how do i know he'll keep
00:12:01.277 --> 00:12:02.311
Keep his promise to israel, how do i know he'll keep his promises to me?
00:12:02.378 --> 00:12:03.913
How do i know he'll keep his promises to me? he's promised to save me
00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:05.080
His promises to me? he's promised to save me forever.
00:12:05.147 --> 00:12:06.215
He's promised to save me forever. what if i get to heaven?
00:12:06.282 --> 00:12:07.349
Forever. what if i get to heaven? he said, you know,
00:12:07.416 --> 00:12:08.417
What if i get to heaven? he said, you know, i told you about that
00:12:08.484 --> 00:12:09.618
By grace and not by works
00:12:11.020 --> 00:12:12.354
By grace and not by works but i've changed my mind.
00:12:12.421 --> 00:12:13.856
But i've changed my mind. we're going to be
00:12:13.923 --> 00:12:15.157
We're going to be on the works system right now.
00:12:15.224 --> 00:12:16.525
On the works system right now. well, i'm in a lot
00:12:16.592 --> 00:12:17.660
Well, i'm in a lot of trouble.
00:12:17.726 --> 00:12:18.794
Of trouble. and so are you, and you,
00:12:18.861 --> 00:12:19.962
God is going to keep
00:12:21.230 --> 00:12:22.331
God is going to keep his promise to israel,
00:12:22.398 --> 00:12:23.766
God is going to keep his promise to israel, and he's going to keep
00:12:23.833 --> 00:12:24.900
His promise to israel, and he's going to keep his promise to us.
00:12:24.967 --> 00:12:26.135
And he's going to keep his promise to us. james: i find these
00:12:26.202 --> 00:12:27.269
His promise to us. james: i find these last two chapters,
00:12:27.336 --> 00:12:28.804
James: i find these last two chapters, "jesus the lord," so we can
00:12:28.871 --> 00:12:31.273
Last two chapters, "jesus the lord," so we can talk about lord of lords,
00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:32.474
"jesus the lord," so we can talk about lord of lords, king of kings.
00:12:32.541 --> 00:12:33.542
Talk about lord of lords, king of kings. you may want to hit
00:12:33.609 --> 00:12:35.010
King of kings. you may want to hit that one.
00:12:35.077 --> 00:12:36.078
You may want to hit that one. but i'm just interested
00:12:36.145 --> 00:12:37.246
That one. but i'm just interested in this last one.
00:12:37.313 --> 00:12:38.480
But i'm just interested in this last one. "jesus, our friend."
00:12:38.547 --> 00:12:39.982
In this last one. "jesus, our friend." kind of wondered why
00:12:40.049 --> 00:12:41.150
"jesus, our friend." kind of wondered why it's here when we're talking
00:12:41.217 --> 00:12:42.451
Kind of wondered why it's here when we're talking about these last days.
00:12:42.518 --> 00:12:44.053
It's here when we're talking about these last days. dr. jeffress: because
00:12:44.119 --> 00:12:45.321
About these last days. dr. jeffress: because it's the role of jesus
00:12:45.387 --> 00:12:46.555
Dr. jeffress: because it's the role of jesus that will last
00:12:46.622 --> 00:12:47.690
It's the role of jesus that will last throughout eternity.
00:12:47.756 --> 00:12:49.258
That will last throughout eternity. i mean, think about
00:12:49.325 --> 00:12:50.292
Throughout eternity. i mean, think about what it would be like
00:12:50.359 --> 00:12:51.493
I mean, think about what it would be like to have a friend who knew
00:12:51.560 --> 00:12:52.995
What it would be like to have a friend who knew everything about you
00:12:53.062 --> 00:12:55.331
To have a friend who knew everything about you and still loved you
00:12:55.397 --> 00:12:56.532
Everything about you and still loved you and accepted you.
00:12:56.599 --> 00:12:57.733
And still loved you and accepted you. and think about a friend
00:12:57.800 --> 00:12:58.934
And accepted you. and think about a friend who would always return
00:12:59.001 --> 00:13:00.069
And think about a friend who would always return your calls, a friend
00:13:00.135 --> 00:13:01.303
Who would always return your calls, a friend who would always be there
00:13:01.370 --> 00:13:02.705
Your calls, a friend who would always be there when you needed him most.
00:13:02.771 --> 00:13:03.939
Who would always be there when you needed him most. we've got that friend
00:13:04.006 --> 00:13:05.140
When you needed him most. we've got that friend in jesus christ.
00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:06.508
We've got that friend in jesus christ. he said, "i'm not going
00:13:06.575 --> 00:13:07.676
In jesus christ. he said, "i'm not going to leave you orphans
00:13:07.743 --> 00:13:08.744
He said, "i'm not going to leave you orphans in this world."
00:13:08.811 --> 00:13:10.045
To leave you orphans in this world." he's not going to abandon us
00:13:10.112 --> 00:13:11.513
In this world." he's not going to abandon us to go through eternity
00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:12.548
He's not going to abandon us to go through eternity by ourselves.
00:13:12.615 --> 00:13:13.883
To go through eternity by ourselves. he promises to be our friend.
00:13:13.949 --> 00:13:16.252
By ourselves. he promises to be our friend. i think about
00:13:16.318 --> 00:13:17.386
He promises to be our friend. i think about joseph scrivens.
00:13:17.453 --> 00:13:18.587
I think about joseph scrivens. he lived in ireland
00:13:18.654 --> 00:13:20.022
Joseph scrivens. he lived in ireland a century ago, and he had
00:13:20.089 --> 00:13:22.157
He lived in ireland a century ago, and he had a great heartbreak that
00:13:22.224 --> 00:13:23.359
A century ago, and he had a great heartbreak that caused him to flee ireland
00:13:23.425 --> 00:13:24.894
A great heartbreak that caused him to flee ireland and come to the united states.
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.662
Caused him to flee ireland and come to the united states. he felt isolated and alone,
00:13:26.729 --> 00:13:28.764
And come to the united states. he felt isolated and alone, and he got word
00:13:28.831 --> 00:13:29.932
He felt isolated and alone, and he got word that his mother was ill

I think it's what your ministry has been about for the last 40 years.
00:15:05.361 --> 00:15:06.428
Your ministry has been about for the last 40 years. because you had a dramatic

Regardless of their theology, however right or wrong. theology is important,
00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:19.108
However right or wrong. theology is important, but anybody who believes
00:15:19.174 --> 00:15:21.210

I just feel led to say something to our audience today talking about jesus
00:15:30.819 --> 00:15:32.154
Something to our audience today talking about jesus revealed in the end times.
00:15:32.254 --> 00:15:33.956
Today talking about jesus revealed in the end times. one of the things

Revealed in the end times. one of the things we didn't talk about,

He's going to be revealed as judge. people don't understand
00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:39.728
As judge. people don't understand that about jesus.
00:15:39.795 --> 00:15:41.196
People don't understand that about jesus. right now, he offers
00:15:41.263 --> 00:15:42.331

00:15:42.398 --> 00:15:43.799
Right now, he offers to be our friend, he offers to be our savior
00:15:43.866 --> 00:15:45.634
To be our friend, he offers to be our savior if we trust in him.

He offers to be our savior if we trust in him. you can either meet him
00:15:47.569 --> 00:15:48.804
If we trust in him. you can either meet him in this life as your savior,
00:15:48.871 --> 00:15:50.472
You can either meet him in this life as your savior, or one day you're going

In this life as your savior, or one day you're going to meet him as your judge.
00:15:51.707 --> 00:15:53.542
Or one day you're going to meet him as your judge. jesus is a holy god

Jesus is a holy god and he requires absolute perfection.
00:15:57.613 --> 00:15:59.048
And he requires absolute perfection. none of us can meet
00:15:59.114 --> 00:16:00.182
Absolute perfection. none of us can meet that standard.
00:16:00.249 --> 00:16:01.283
None of us can meet that standard. that's why he came
00:16:01.350 --> 00:16:02.418
That standard. that's why he came the first time to pay
00:16:02.484 --> 00:16:03.619
That's why he came the first time to pay the price for our sins.
00:16:03.685 --> 00:16:05.287
The first time to pay the price for our sins. but next time he's coming,
00:16:05.354 --> 00:16:06.722
The price for our sins. but next time he's coming, he's coming to judge
00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:07.923
But next time he's coming, he's coming to judge the world in righteousness.
00:16:07.990 --> 00:16:10.025
He's coming to judge the world in righteousness. if our name isn't written
00:16:10.092 --> 00:16:11.393
The world in righteousness. if our name isn't written in that lamb's book of life
00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:13.028
If our name isn't written in that lamb's book of life in this world, we're going
00:16:13.095 --> 00:16:14.396
In that lamb's book of life in this world, we're going to face an eternal
00:16:14.463 --> 00:16:15.564
In this world, we're going to face an eternal separation from god.
00:16:15.631 --> 00:16:17.533

00:21:53.368 --> 00:21:55.971
Joyce: it is easier
00:22:08.450 --> 00:22:09.551
Joyce: it is easier to put ourselves
00:22:09.618 --> 00:22:10.819
Joyce: it is easier to put ourselves in god's hands
00:22:10.886 --> 00:22:12.053
To put ourselves in god's hands as long as you know
00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:13.655
In god's hands as long as you know that god is good.
00:22:13.722 --> 00:22:14.956
As long as you know that god is good. just because bad things
00:22:15.023 --> 00:22:16.358
That god is good. just because bad things happen to good people
00:22:16.425 --> 00:22:17.492
Just because bad things happen to good people that doesn't mean
00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.627
Happen to good people that doesn't mean that god is bad.
00:22:18.693 --> 00:22:19.828
That doesn't mean that god is bad. we live in a fallen world
00:22:19.895 --> 00:22:21.463
That god is bad. we live in a fallen world and sin is rampant
00:22:21.530 --> 00:22:22.931
We live in a fallen world and sin is rampant in the world today and
00:22:22.998 --> 00:22:24.633
And sin is rampant in the world today and god created everything good
00:22:24.699 --> 00:22:26.268
In the world today and god created everything good in the garden.
00:22:26.334 --> 00:22:27.769
God created everything good in the garden. even the devil
00:22:27.836 --> 00:22:28.904
In the garden. even the devil started out good,
00:22:28.970 --> 00:22:30.205
Even the devil started out good, and he was the one
00:22:30.272 --> 00:22:31.440
Started out good, and he was the one that made the choice
00:22:31.506 --> 00:22:32.641
And he was the one that made the choice to be in pride and want to
00:22:32.707 --> 00:22:35.010
That made the choice to be in pride and want to take over god's position.
00:22:35.076 --> 00:22:36.178
To be in pride and want to take over god's position. "i will... i will...
00:22:36.244 --> 00:22:37.345
Take over god's position. "i will... i will... i will..."
00:22:37.412 --> 00:22:38.513
"i will... i will... i will..." five times he said, "i will"
00:22:38.580 --> 00:22:39.748
I will..." five times he said, "i will" and god said, "here's
00:22:39.815 --> 00:22:40.916
Five times he said, "i will" and god said, "here's what's going to happen."
00:22:40.982 --> 00:22:42.083
And god said, "here's what's going to happen." james: be like god
00:22:42.150 --> 00:22:43.251
What's going to happen." james: be like god without god.
00:22:43.318 --> 00:22:44.419
James: be like god without god. joyce: i'm going to be
00:22:44.486 --> 00:22:45.587
Without god. joyce: i'm going to be like god without god.
00:22:45.654 --> 00:22:46.755
Joyce: i'm going to be like god without god. so then adam and eve
00:22:46.822 --> 00:22:48.089
Like god without god. so then adam and eve and everything was good,
00:22:48.156 --> 00:22:49.424
So then adam and eve and everything was good, the garden was good, and
00:22:49.491 --> 00:22:50.759
And everything was good, the garden was good, and they had all this good stuff
00:22:50.826 --> 00:22:52.093
The garden was good, and they had all this good stuff that they could do.
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.428
They had all this good stuff that they could do. there was only one thing --
00:22:53.495 --> 00:22:55.197
That they could do. there was only one thing -- james: heavy, heavy request!
00:22:55.263 --> 00:22:56.832
There was only one thing -- james: heavy, heavy request! joyce: "one thing
00:22:56.898 --> 00:22:57.899
James: heavy, heavy request! joyce: "one thing that i don't want you to do"
00:22:57.966 --> 00:22:59.367
Joyce: "one thing that i don't want you to do" -- and even that,
00:22:59.434 --> 00:23:00.669
That i don't want you to do" -- and even that, when god told them
00:23:00.735 --> 00:23:01.903
-- and even that, when god told them not to do that,
00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:03.071
When god told them not to do that, it was for their benefit
00:23:03.138 --> 00:23:04.372
Not to do that, it was for their benefit not necessarily for god's.
00:23:04.439 --> 00:23:05.807
It was for their benefit not necessarily for god's. so satan used that to try
00:23:05.874 --> 00:23:08.944
Not necessarily for god's. so satan used that to try to make eve feel like god
00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:11.379
So satan used that to try to make eve feel like god somehow maybe wasn't good
00:23:11.446 --> 00:23:13.315
To make eve feel like god somehow maybe wasn't good because he was
00:23:13.381 --> 00:23:14.549
Somehow maybe wasn't good because he was holding out on her
00:23:14.616 --> 00:23:15.750
So she wanted
00:23:17.118 --> 00:23:19.788
So she wanted to have that one thing.
00:23:19.855 --> 00:23:22.591
If there just wouldn't
00:23:23.992 --> 00:23:25.060
If there just wouldn't have been that apple
00:23:25.126 --> 00:23:26.761
If there just wouldn't have been that apple we would all be
00:23:26.828 --> 00:23:28.029
Have been that apple we would all be so much better off.
00:23:28.096 --> 00:23:29.264
We would all be so much better off. and that sin nature then
00:23:29.331 --> 00:23:30.465
So much better off. and that sin nature then was passed down
00:23:30.532 --> 00:23:31.666
And that sin nature then was passed down to every human being.
00:23:31.733 --> 00:23:32.968
Was passed down to every human being. of course,
00:23:33.034 --> 00:23:34.169
To every human being. of course, jesus came as the second adam,
00:23:34.236 --> 00:23:35.303
Of course, jesus came as the second adam, gave us a brand-new nature.
00:23:35.370 --> 00:23:36.605
Jesus came as the second adam, gave us a brand-new nature. but we have choices to make
00:23:36.671 --> 00:23:39.274
Gave us a brand-new nature. but we have choices to make all the time.
00:23:39.341 --> 00:23:40.542
But we have choices to make all the time. so when sin came
00:23:40.609 --> 00:23:42.444
All the time. so when sin came into the world
00:23:42.511 --> 00:23:43.879
So when sin came into the world evil came into the world.
00:23:43.945 --> 00:23:46.047
Into the world evil came into the world. but when i say that,
00:23:46.114 --> 00:23:47.916
Evil came into the world. but when i say that, it is not always
00:23:47.983 --> 00:23:49.117
But when i say that, it is not always our own personal sin
00:23:49.184 --> 00:23:50.352
It is not always our own personal sin that causes our problems.
00:23:50.418 --> 00:23:52.020
Our own personal sin that causes our problems. my father's sin
00:23:52.087 --> 00:23:54.890
That causes our problems. my father's sin caused me to suffer.
00:23:54.956 --> 00:23:56.625
My father's sin caused me to suffer. james: hurt you deeply.
00:23:56.691 --> 00:23:57.993
Caused me to suffer. james: hurt you deeply. joyce: it wasn't my own thing,
00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:59.327
James: hurt you deeply. joyce: it wasn't my own thing, it was his.
00:23:59.394 --> 00:24:00.695
Joyce: it wasn't my own thing, it was his. many times, just foolishness;
00:24:00.762 --> 00:24:01.963
It was his. many times, just foolishness; you know a fool
00:24:02.030 --> 00:24:03.265
Many times, just foolishness; you know a fool has a lot more trouble
00:24:03.331 --> 00:24:04.432
You know a fool has a lot more trouble than a wise man.
00:24:04.499 --> 00:24:05.734
Has a lot more trouble than a wise man. so we do
00:24:05.800 --> 00:24:07.035
Than a wise man. so we do a lot of foolish things.
00:24:07.102 --> 00:24:08.203
So we do a lot of foolish things. like how many people
00:24:08.270 --> 00:24:09.571
A lot of foolish things. like how many people abuse their bodies
00:24:09.638 --> 00:24:11.172
Like how many people abuse their bodies for years and years and years,
00:24:11.239 --> 00:24:13.241
Abuse their bodies for years and years and years, don't get enough sleep,
00:24:13.308 --> 00:24:14.743
For years and years and years, don't get enough sleep, live on junk food,
00:24:14.809 --> 00:24:16.578
Don't get enough sleep, live on junk food, way too much stress
00:24:16.645 --> 00:24:18.346
Live on junk food, way too much stress in their lives
00:24:18.413 --> 00:24:19.814
Way too much stress in their lives and then 25 years later
00:24:19.881 --> 00:24:21.016
In their lives and then 25 years later everything falls apart
00:24:21.082 --> 00:24:22.284
And then 25 years later everything falls apart and then they don't
00:24:22.350 --> 00:24:23.552
Everything falls apart and then they don't understand why suddenly
00:24:23.618 --> 00:24:24.719
And then they don't understand why suddenly they don't get a miracle.
00:24:24.786 --> 00:24:26.054
Understand why suddenly they don't get a miracle. i was one of those people.
00:24:26.121 --> 00:24:27.355
They don't get a miracle. i was one of those people. and i did it working for god.
00:24:27.422 --> 00:24:28.623
I was one of those people. and i did it working for god. [laughing]
00:24:28.690 --> 00:24:30.358
And i did it working for god. [laughing] and so, even if you think
00:24:30.425 --> 00:24:32.827
[laughing] and so, even if you think you're doing something
00:24:32.894 --> 00:24:34.262
And so, even if you think you're doing something in god's name
00:24:34.329 --> 00:24:35.530
You're doing something in god's name you still can't break
00:24:35.597 --> 00:24:36.865
In god's name you still can't break his laws.
00:24:36.932 --> 00:24:38.199
You still can't break his laws. so, there is healing for us,
00:24:38.266 --> 00:24:39.968
His laws. so, there is healing for us, there is deliverance for us,
00:24:40.035 --> 00:24:42.070
So, there is healing for us, there is deliverance for us, but sometimes,
00:24:42.137 --> 00:24:43.705
There is deliverance for us, but sometimes, if we've taken 30 years
00:24:43.772 --> 00:24:44.973
But sometimes, if we've taken 30 years to make a mess,
00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:46.308
If we've taken 30 years to make a mess, god doesn't fix it
00:24:46.374 --> 00:24:47.576
To make a mess, god doesn't fix it in two weeks.
00:24:47.642 --> 00:24:48.977
God doesn't fix it in two weeks. i'll never forget the woman
00:24:49.044 --> 00:24:50.378
In two weeks. i'll never forget the woman who came to the altar --
00:24:50.445 --> 00:24:51.780
I'll never forget the woman who came to the altar -- and this is actually funny
00:24:51.846 --> 00:24:52.881
Who came to the altar -- and this is actually funny but sad --
00:24:52.948 --> 00:24:54.249
And this is actually funny but sad -- and she put her hands
00:24:54.316 --> 00:24:55.383
But sad -- and she put her hands on her hips
00:24:55.450 --> 00:24:56.751
And she put her hands on her hips and she looked at me
00:24:56.818 --> 00:24:58.253
On her hips and she looked at me and she said,
00:24:58.320 --> 00:24:59.621
And she looked at me and she said, "i want my money back."
00:24:59.688 --> 00:25:02.023
And she said, "i want my money back." i thought what?
00:25:02.090 --> 00:25:03.358
"i want my money back." i thought what? she had given some offerings
00:25:03.425 --> 00:25:04.659
I thought what? she had given some offerings and i thought,
00:25:04.726 --> 00:25:05.860
She had given some offerings and i thought, what are you talking about?
00:25:05.927 --> 00:25:07.162
And i thought, what are you talking about? she said, "i've been doing
00:25:07.228 --> 00:25:08.430
What are you talking about? she said, "i've been doing what you said to do
00:25:08.496 --> 00:25:09.664
She said, "i've been doing what you said to do for two weeks and
00:25:09.731 --> 00:25:10.966
What you said to do for two weeks and not one thing has changed."
00:25:11.032 --> 00:25:12.200
For two weeks and not one thing has changed." [laughter]
00:25:12.267 --> 00:25:13.468
Not one thing has changed." [laughter] i tell you what.
00:25:13.535 --> 00:25:14.736
[laughter] i tell you what. i mean it was hard for me
00:25:14.803 --> 00:25:15.971
I tell you what. i mean it was hard for me not to laugh
00:25:16.037 --> 00:25:17.138
I mean it was hard for me not to laugh right in the woman's face
00:25:17.205 --> 00:25:18.273
Not to laugh right in the woman's face because i thought you just
00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:19.541
Right in the woman's face because i thought you just don't even have a clue.
00:25:19.608 --> 00:25:20.675
Because i thought you just don't even have a clue. surely,
00:25:20.742 --> 00:25:21.943
Don't even have a clue. surely, we could give equal time
00:25:22.010 --> 00:25:23.144
Surely, we could give equal time that we gave the devil.
00:25:23.211 --> 00:25:24.379
We could give equal time that we gave the devil. [laughter]
00:25:24.446 --> 00:25:25.647
That we gave the devil. [laughter] if it took me 30 years
00:25:25.714 --> 00:25:26.815
[laughter] if it took me 30 years to almost kill myself,
00:25:26.881 --> 00:25:28.049
If it took me 30 years to almost kill myself, why can't i at least give god
00:25:28.116 --> 00:25:29.884
To almost kill myself, why can't i at least give god a year or two to work with me
00:25:29.951 --> 00:25:32.654
Why can't i at least give god a year or two to work with me to get things back?
00:25:32.721 --> 00:25:34.089
A year or two to work with me to get things back? so our problems
00:25:34.155 --> 00:25:35.523
To get things back? so our problems are not god's fault.
00:25:35.590 --> 00:25:38.526
So our problems are not god's fault. it may be
00:25:38.593 --> 00:25:40.128
Are not god's fault. it may be that we've opened a door.
00:25:40.195 --> 00:25:41.396
It may be that we've opened a door. it's smart to just say,
00:25:41.463 --> 00:25:42.731
That we've opened a door. it's smart to just say, "god, if there's a door
00:25:42.797 --> 00:25:43.832
It's smart to just say, "god, if there's a door that i've opened here,
00:25:43.898 --> 00:25:44.899
"god, if there's a door that i've opened here, something i need to see..."
00:25:44.966 --> 00:25:46.167
That i've opened here, something i need to see..." let's just take unforgiveness
00:25:46.234 --> 00:25:47.469
Something i need to see..." let's just take unforgiveness for example.
00:25:47.535 --> 00:25:48.737
Let's just take unforgiveness for example. do you know
00:25:48.803 --> 00:25:49.904
For example. do you know that there are probably
00:25:49.971 --> 00:25:51.172
Do you know that there are probably more angry christians
00:25:51.239 --> 00:25:52.474
That there are probably more angry christians in the church
00:25:52.540 --> 00:25:53.675
More angry christians in the church than there are ones
00:25:53.742 --> 00:25:55.010
In the church than there are ones that can actually say,
00:25:55.076 --> 00:25:56.911
Than there are ones that can actually say, "i'm not holding anything
00:25:56.978 --> 00:25:58.313
That can actually say, "i'm not holding anything against anyone.
00:25:58.380 --> 00:26:00.715
"i'm not holding anything against anyone. i have no unforgiveness
00:26:00.782 --> 00:26:02.250
Against anyone. i have no unforgiveness in my heart."
00:26:02.317 --> 00:26:03.518
I have no unforgiveness in my heart." the bible tells us plainly
00:26:03.585 --> 00:26:06.321
In my heart." the bible tells us plainly that if we won't
00:26:06.388 --> 00:26:07.589
The bible tells us plainly that if we won't forgive other people
00:26:07.656 --> 00:26:08.823
That if we won't forgive other people that god can't forgive us
00:26:08.890 --> 00:26:10.558
Forgive other people that god can't forgive us and that we give satan
00:26:10.625 --> 00:26:12.494
That god can't forgive us and that we give satan an advantage over us
00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:15.096
And that we give satan an advantage over us if we stay in unforgiveness.
00:26:15.163 --> 00:26:17.265
An advantage over us if we stay in unforgiveness. james: we're actually
00:26:17.332 --> 00:26:18.500
If we stay in unforgiveness. james: we're actually turned over to tormenters.
00:26:18.566 --> 00:26:19.601
James: we're actually turned over to tormenters. they have access to torment.
00:26:19.668 --> 00:26:20.735
Turned over to tormenters. they have access to torment. joyce: people are mad at god
00:26:20.802 --> 00:26:21.803
They have access to torment. joyce: people are mad at god because he hasn't given them
00:26:21.870 --> 00:26:22.937
Joyce: people are mad at god because he hasn't given them what they want.
00:26:23.004 --> 00:26:24.005
Because he hasn't given them what they want. they're mad at the people
00:26:24.072 --> 00:26:25.073
What they want. they're mad at the people who hurt them
00:26:25.140 --> 00:26:26.174
They're mad at themselves.
00:26:27.308 --> 00:26:28.410
They're mad at themselves. so there can be reasons
00:26:28.476 --> 00:26:29.577
So there can be reasons where we have things
00:26:29.644 --> 00:26:30.712
Where we have things come into our life.
00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:31.880
Come into our life. but when i have a problem
00:26:31.946 --> 00:26:32.981
But when i have a problem i don't go
00:26:33.048 --> 00:26:34.082
I don't start trying
00:26:35.283 --> 00:26:36.284
I don't start trying to find out
00:26:36.351 --> 00:26:37.385
I don't start trying to find out what my latest sin was.
00:26:37.452 --> 00:26:38.486
To find out what my latest sin was. i just say to god,
00:26:38.553 --> 00:26:39.587
What my latest sin was. i just say to god, "if i did something
00:26:39.654 --> 00:26:40.689
I just say to god, "if i did something that opened a door for this,
00:26:40.755 --> 00:26:41.790
"if i did something that opened a door for this, please show me.
00:26:41.856 --> 00:26:42.891
That opened a door for this, please show me. i want to repent
00:26:42.957 --> 00:26:43.992
Please show me. i want to repent and correct it."
00:26:44.059 --> 00:26:45.093
I want to repent and correct it." and that's the end of it.
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:46.194
And correct it." and that's the end of it. if god doesn't
00:26:46.261 --> 00:26:47.295
And that's the end of it. if god doesn't show me anything
00:26:47.362 --> 00:26:48.396
If god doesn't show me anything then i say, "but either way,
00:26:48.463 --> 00:26:49.497
Show me anything then i say, "but either way, i trust you to take this thing
00:26:49.564 --> 00:26:50.799
Then i say, "but either way, i trust you to take this thing and work good out of it,
00:26:50.865 --> 00:26:52.133
I trust you to take this thing and work good out of it, make me a stronger person,
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:53.435
And work good out of it, make me a stronger person, and a better person,
00:26:53.501 --> 00:26:54.703
Make me a stronger person, and a better person, and give me compassion
00:26:54.769 --> 00:26:55.870
And a better person, and give me compassion for hurting people while
00:26:55.937 --> 00:26:57.238
And give me compassion for hurting people while i'm going through this."
00:26:57.305 --> 00:26:58.339
For hurting people while i'm going through this." james: do y'all
00:26:58.406 --> 00:26:59.441
I'm going through this." james: do y'all appreciate this?
00:26:59.507 --> 00:27:00.442
James: do y'all appreciate this? this is insight.
00:27:00.508 --> 00:27:01.476
>> and so i ultimately was able to get on a path
00:27:02.544 --> 00:27:05.013
To natural healing but it took me a long time
00:27:05.013 --> 00:27:07.115
To find the answer.
00:27:07.115 --> 00:27:09.184
And thank god it was found in him.
00:27:09.184 --> 00:27:12.620
