The Coming Tribulation

Waiting for the blessed hope, what is the hope of the Christian. Paul tells us he writes in Titus waiting for that blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ the wonderful Jesus said, almost in the last words of the Bible. Surely I'm coming soon he's coming back. The Lord Jesus is returning. Last week we saw that in the end times. There will be a religious, political, and natural upheavals that will also be an increase in persecution and social upheavals, and we learned that the events to Jerusalem's destruction. In A.D. 70 out a precursor to what will happen in the future during the tribulation period prior to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. John Glassman was one of my professors at Dallas seminary, and he writes the conquest of Jerusalem is theologically not chronologically but theologically attached to the end time events was the setting. Jesus has left the temple for the last time he stole the nation that you temple your house is going to be left desolate and the Lord with his disciples are sitting on the Mount of olives looking down into that magnificent temple and the disciples are in shock and they ask adversity of Matthew 24 talus when these things will be and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age is answered in part, is found in our passage, I invite you to turn to Matthew chapter 24 and were going to be locating a rather difficult passage in verses 15 through 28 paragraph as we deal with future events idolizing for some of you this is an entirely new and you're going to think are not sure if I'm following this. Others of you know about this and you're still saying I'm not sure if I'm following this, and others of you are experts on this and are just waiting for me to some say something you disagree with not at Calvin Johnson church is not here, but since I want to give a broad overview and we got a slide showing that so here is a big picture when we get some of the details but here is the big picture. The first coming of Jesus Christ. We celebrate at that Christmas and the Gospels are concerned with about the birth to death the better of the resurrection and the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. Last week we saw that in A.D. 70, that is the destruction of the Temple historical fact, as prophesied by Jesus.once someone is going to be left on top of another and we are now, and since Pentecost accepted to we had no in what is called the church age. The age of grace. We are the church. Jesus Christ is building his church in the renegades of hell will not prevail against it. He is with us. Matthew 28 verse 22 the end of the age were not yet at the end of the age. I will the end of the age and by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ what's called the rapture of the church. We waiting for that I can happen at any day. First Thessalonians 4 and the church all authentic believers in Jesus Christ. We were talking about the church were not talking about the denomination. Obviously were talking about those who are in the family of God followers of Jesus Christ. Every single one of us will be caught up incredible will be a generation that will never die will be caught up says fall to be forever with the Lord reunited with our loved ones marvelous and I look forward seeing my mom, my mother and father would forward to seeing my son look forward, above all, to sing the Lord caught up to be forever with the Lord and then on the earth that is this.

We called a tribulation. The seven year. I'm a good be thinking about that today and then there is the second advent of Christ are described in the passage Matthew 24, also described in Revelation 19 when Jesus Christ comes to the earth. He comes in power and great glory. We read then he will institute his messianic kingdom. We believe a Calvary church in a 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ, so that that is we are pre-millennial others.

The judgment of the nations described in Matthew chapter 25 there's a great white throne judgment described in Revelation 20.

When all unbelievers will appear before God as the judge that is heaven. That is how that is the eternal state that if you're a follower of Jesus Christ, you got an incredible future is our hope… I'm looking at life is hard, but is difficult yes it is but we have this tremendous hope this blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

Whether you die or whether you live, you got a great future to die is to be as we were staying at home with the Lord now that tribulation. That period of seven years. You see it.

That is, a period described in the book of Revelation. I find that some churches, some people find while Revelation is too confusing. While this may help you in Revelation from chapter 6 through 18. That is the tribulation. There are seven seals, seven from trumpets and seven bowls of judgment what's happening in the tribulation. God's judgment is being poured out on the notice seven year period is sometimes called Daniels 70th week. Matthew is going to refer to that and this divided into two halves, two halves of 3 1/2 years. By the beginning of the tribulation. A man told the antichrist is going to arise and is going to make a treaty with the nation of Israel is going to give them protection and security at the midpoint of the tribulation. The Antichrist will break the treaty with Israel.

Furthermore, as we will read in the minute he will desecrate the temple then that the end of the tribulation will be the glorious return of Jesus Christ with power and glory will think of that next week as we saw last week, Jesus is giving this teaching so that we not be led astray when got to be spiritually alive got to understand these things you say some individuals admit that music I understand that we have these prophecies in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation. In particular, but we just wanted tickets that buys that Jesus speaking's disciples, Mark, when will these things be the sign of your coming is looking at the temple on the cross is only a few days away, you got your Bible. Matthew chapter 24, nine verse 15 wonderful that we can. Those who happen in the future. The only one of these Christians say… Confusing. I just couldn't leave it to the Lord.

His in the work of the light. Of course, is the work of the light but is given you teaching so that you are a liar so that you're not deceived above all that you keep waiting and looking for that glorious appearing.

Verse 50.

So when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place that the temple let the reader understand, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house and let the one who's in the field not turn back to take his cloak in the last four women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulations such as not being from the beginning of the world until now know I never will be. And if those days had not been cut short. No human being would be saved but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short then if anyone says to you, look, here is the Christ or that he is, believe it. For false Christ's and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See if I told you beforehand, so if they say to you, look is in the wilderness, don't go out if they say look is and then the rooms do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the last soul will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Wherever the carcasses there the vultures will gather. Matthew 24 verses 15 through 28. I want to consider three things the abomination of desolation. The tribulation and the antichrist. First of all, the abomination of desolation. Look again at verse 15. So when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel standing in the holy place. Let the reader under that abomination of desolation does the reader understand you say I don't have a clue. Others of you know your Bible. So yes he's referring to Daniel. He tells us that so let's go back to that silly Daniel chapter 9 is you subject, and we can get into all of the details, but let's look at Daniel nine and will look at verse 26 Daniels is like the book of Revelation. In the Old Testament last latter half of Daniel is prophetic and after the 62 weeks in Hebrews. It sevens and after the 62 weeks and anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing as they anointed one, who's the Messiah or Lord Jesus. He will be cut off his crucified nothing and the people of the prince who is to come with the prince was to come with antichrist shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, its engine, the flood until the end. There shall be war desolation is our decree prophecy anointed ones, but because of this prince, verse 27 in Asia make a strong covenant with many for one week is a week of years that is seven years and for half of the week 3 1/2 years 42 months, he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate until the decree and is poured out on the desolate or Matthew answer Daniel nine from verses 24 to the end of the chapter crucial for understanding these prophetic events that abomination of desolation fires in part it certainly refers to the desecration of the temple at a faster blasphemous worship and historically the abomination of desolation first recorded first occurred rather in 167 BC man called Antiochus a vividness he enters historical fact, he enters the temple in Jerusalem. He massacres the Jews, and he sacrifices up paying in the temple on the altar to Zeus, the Greek God the Jewish temple selects a peak after blasphemy. This is the abomination of desolation. This of course is idolatry. The abomination of desolation also occurs in A.D. 70. What to the Romans do they desecrate and destroy the temple. They scatter the Jewish nation. The father and white I find it intriguing that the temple, the Jewish temple to beautiful temple was destroyed in A.D. 70. Almost 2000 years ago and it has never yet been rebuilt. When you visit Jerusalem today. Some of us of that privilege. In October, when we go to Jerusalem, one of the highlights of her visit is actually to stand on the temple by is an incredible feeling to be aware of the temple laws, for there is no temple in his unit on the temple might in fact long before you even get off to the temple, mind, there is a spectacular building on the temple bug is one of those famous buildings in the world but is not a Jewish temple.

What is it with a picture of it is the dorm of the rock you see it that dome of the rock is built on the temple might filter Solomon's Temple was built in 691 to come out to commemorate the spot from which Mohammed allegedly ascended to heaven in 621 A.D. he ascended to heaven for a tour of paradise accompanied by the angel Gabriel.

That's what they believe and so that temple is built around its an automatic that is that there is an attack on the Trinity blasphemous words regarding our Savior for almost 2000 years there has been no Jewish temple, but Scripture predicts that the Temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem knowledges rebuilt would be rebuilt in Jerusalem the very center of the world. Arguably, I would say the world's most famous city, Benjamin Disraeli, the former British Prime Minister and he said he was Jewish. He said the view of Jerusalem is the history of the world.

It is more, it is a history of heaven and earth, heaven and earth is your number in the future was going to come down when you want some. Revelation 21 by the final fulfillment of the abomination of desolation is yet future. Verse 15 here refers to the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place was only place the temple using is the temple going to be rebuilt.

Yes, turn to second Thessalonians 2, get to bring your Bibles so you can read it on the line and market his letter on my checking social media was in.

This is far more important, far, far more important. Jesus is saying let the reader understand second Thessalonians 2 verse one letter concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul believes that he's coming back and are being gathered together to have a wonderful we are going to be gathered together with the Lord Jesus Christ, whereas brothers do not be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed by his spirit or a spoken word or letter seeming to be from us the fact that the day of the Lord's comp video Lord has income. There were some false teaching in the church at Thessalonica. Let no one deceive you in any way for that they will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness. Another name for the Antichrist is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God interesting to take his seat in the temple of God. Revelation chapter 11 last week in the Bible, Revelation 11. The booklet many of you find so confusing will read the first two verses. Then I was giving a measuring law abroad like a staff and I was told that John is writing around A.D. 90 after the distraction of the temple that he had a simple, talking about the future temple is receiving prophecy from God and a vision rise and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship there. Do not measure the court outside the temple leave that out for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months along is 42 months. 3 1/2 years member tribulation is divided into two halves of 3 1/2 years, the midpoint of the three and half years.

The antichrist is going to go into the temple that there's going to be in abomination of desolation is going to go into the temple is going to commit blasphemy at this occurs as I said in the midpoint of the seven years at the beginning of what we call the great tribulation tribulation seven 1/2 years.of course, all of us go through tribulation, but Jesus prophesied that talking about that were talking about the tribulation resort with a T and the last half of the seven years is a great tribulation so that the abomination of desolation by secondly the tribulation are important to understand that during the tribulation. Israel is the focal point why is that because the church has been enraptured prior to the tribulation and God once again puts his focus on the Jewish nation is it will why is that I thought I that we had the church or other churches replace Israel.

Absolutely no member, the promises made to Abraham and his descendents. We call in the Abraham a covenant abided in Genesis 12 and 15 and 17, God made promises he entered into a covenant with it with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and his descendents, and central to that confidence is the promise that Israel will be in the promised land over and over again is repeated in Scripture the land belongs to Israel.

Of course it's the most disputed part of really stayed in the world is so very small country. We are going there for the first time you have to say, well, is that it's particularly for your an American we live in such a large country is and was a small country but it's not yet all in the land which was promise to Abraham, it continues to be a matter of great disputes, but God does not go back on his promises. The beginning of the tribulation was going to happen. The antichrist is going to make a treaty with Israel is a powerful global ruler is going to arise, and Israel will enter into that treaty so that their borders are secure, and for a time of 3/2 years is relative peace in the midpoint of the treaty he breaks it, he is guaranteed Israel's borders, but he breaks it during that time during the 3 1/2 years. Many, many Israelis, Jewish Jews come to saving faith in Jesus Christ say John Hardy I do know that is prophesied.

Think of Revelation 712 tribes hundred and 14 for five reasons Israelis converted are going to be as it what evangelists are. The whole world and will bring the gospel to the whole world, and many people, Jew and Gentile will come to saving faith during the tribulation. But now halfway through the seven years the antichrist under the guise of protecting Israel will invade Israel he'll break his covenant and he will place himself in the temple is God's will.

Blasphemy the abomination of desolation then commences the great tribulation. And it climaxes with returning of Jesus Christ with power and glory not notice our text from verses 16 through 20. Jesus says at the sign of the abomination of desolation. That is when antichrist goes into the temple, you should immediately flee when the Roman surrounded Israel, particularly when the surrounded Jerusalem in A.D. 70. This was a sign for Israel to flee to get out flee to the mountains get out of Jerusalem within was happening in Ukraine as the Russians going in with the Ukrainians, though many of them leave the women and children in particular, they leave a get away from the danger they had away as quickly as possible because they know if they say they can be killed during the tribulation. It's the same thing. Pray that is not winter difficult is going to be for a woman who is pregnant for a woman whose nursing. Jesus says during a time is going be many false reports that Jesus Christ has come. Verses 21st 2012 versus 23 and 24.

Some of these files cut price will perform signs and wonders. Don't think that every medical. This performance comes from God. Satan's got great power and is able to produce medical sink of the magicians is a word in Egypt regarding Moses member their various miracles with a snake and so on are the magicians could do the same.

Just because someone nowadays says of the I wonder don't necessarily believe them that the great tribulation is a time of unprecedented persecution.

Verse 21 for then there will be great tribulation, such as not been from the beginning of the world until now.

You know I never will be using. Will the tribulation that was in its nothing compared with what's coming is a point this affliction.

This persecution, this tribulation, which follows the abomination of desolation is unparalleled in human history and during the tribulation. The focus is not on the church.

The church is in heaven. The focus is on Israel. Did you see the references to Judea under 16. The reference of the Sabbath. Verse 20 Jewish times.

Praise God but the church's rapture prior to the tribulation. But what else is going on in the tribulation. Many things that I realize that some of you say we don't believe what you're saying we think the church will go through the tribulation of the church will go through part of the tribulation. While I asked you to consider this. Think of the uniqueness of the terms used in the Old Testament to describe the coming tribulation. Here are some of Isaiah 61 verse two the day of vengeance of our God.

Daniel 12 as for the time of trouble, such as never has been, since there was a nation is like Matthew 24,000 Zephaniah 1 verse 50 a day of wrath is that day by day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom of the clouds and thick darkness a day of trumpet blasted battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofted battlements. Jeremiah 30 verse seven that day is so great, that is none like it. It is a time of distress for Jacob. But is that is a time of distress for Jacob. Jacob being in a name for Israel is a great day. It's a terrible day. There's nothing like it and is a day of distress for Jacob, not the church, and you know is I know that no nation on the face of the earth has been so persecuted consistently done through the history for 3000 years the Jewish nation has been persecuted. Some have tried to completely on pleasuring the Jews so that not one of them is alive that have been requested into the mine. Haman goes to the king, and he wants a decree had to get the decree to do what genocides to exterminate the Jews. And that was God using Esther for such a time as this to go to the king. Benjamin is rarely that I quoted a Jewish British prime minister was attacked one day in the House of Commons for being a Jew, and they tried to sneer at him and Benjamin Disraeli was very quick on the street said this, he said yes I homage you and when when the ancestors of the right Hon. gentlemen were living as savages in a non-unknown island. Mine were priests in the temple of Solomon O'Neill of the unit ancestors savages and an unknown island probably failing to islands, I think so. Disraeli's ancestors were priests in the temple of the holy God.

But Satan hates the Jewish nation hatred consistent hatred, Satan hates the Jewish nation, God's chosen people remember World War II there was a systematic extermination of Jews. Hitler and his lieutenants try to rid the world of Jews during the Holocaust getting hers and her was Israel was Israelis Atty. Gen.

At the prosecution of out of human in Israel was a book by Neil Bascom called hunting argument that I recently read and argument was one of the top men responsible for the killing of thousands and thousands of Jews after the war, he fled and he ended up in Argentina and hiding in the Israelis, the beginning of Mossad, their intelligence service, a fine finally find out where he was and were able brilliantly to capture him and bring him back to Israel for trial in 1961 hears the Atty. Gen. as he begins his prosecution of this evil man who hated the Jews. He said when I stand before you judges of Israel delete the prosecution available argument are not standing alone with me are 6 million accusers 1.5 million of them children, but they cannot rise to their feet and pointed an accusing finger towards him who sits in the dark and cry. I choose for their ashes are piled up on the hills of Auschwitz and the fields of Treblinka and their soon in the forests of Poland, the grapes mother graces the graves are scattered throughout the length and breadth of unit.

The blood cries out, but their voice is not had therefore I will be the spokesman and Eichmann rightly was convicted so the Jewish nation knows about persecution persecution, which continues to this day.

Think of this. This tribulation is on Pablo verse 22. If it were longer, no one would survive as a terrifying time of worldwide trouble.

Discredit the session timeout is unique is on unprecedented. Yes, it has its precursor to the fall of Jerusalem, a foretaste of it with actual time of the tribulation rated Revelation 632 so terrible it would be inconceivable unless the Scriptures describe the time of unbelievable harder suffering and turmoil in the yes against the Jewish nation but also against every single person.

Satan has always hated the Jewish nation during the tribulation. His hatred is unleashed an unmitigated hatred tribulation. Finally, quickly the antichrist abomination of desolation. The tribulation, the Antichrist, antichrist is a future world leader who will come to power during the tribulation glass. Could he be alive today as he could be alive today is not empowered today that may not over all the world, but he's going to rise and is going be the key figure during the tribulation. Here is the chaos of the tribulation. And when people are in trouble with the billing for failing for the leader is a trouble and in and in Russia you Ukraine. What do we need we need a leader here's a here's a the Ukrainian president rises and gives brilliant leadership. We look for our president. We look for NATO we look for people delete a time of economic disaster time of political turmoil. What do we look for look for leadership.

We would solution during the tribulation and all of the chaos, but will rise a very wise and very shrewd political leader someone who can bring peace to the world will become a global political leader more and more.

We have the sword global dumbly global leader is going to Abbas's tremendous power is that you make a treaty with Israel to protect his borders on the security during that time, Israel will be able to rebuild its temple. We read in second Thessalonians 2 verse four that he enters into the holy place, he enters into the temple is a man of great intellect is a powerful powerful political leader is an economic savior, a global tech dictator and he is a worldwide religious figure. He controls everything the banks politics yes and religion. He's going to make himself as God is going to go into the temple make that abomination of desolation. He takes the place of God's and is actively blasphemous, was in the Daniels prophecy. Daniel 11 verse 36 and the king antichrist will do as he wills. He will exalt himself and magnify himself above every God's I'm the greatest you look for humility and leaders guards opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble in leadership at any level of leadership we look for humility, the antichrist is the opposite is arrogant. He's proud he saw pride become its blasphemy in the Jewish Temple by declaring himself above every God shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods, and through God, he shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished for what is decreed shall be done shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers or to the one beloved by women will be reference to Christ, he shall not be attention to any other God, for he shall magnify himself above all over important side note Revelation 19 he's going to be cast into the lake of fire in the future. You say who's antichrist. What is antichrist. He is against Christ Satan substitute for the King of Kings. We sometimes call Daniel seven. The little horn is called the beast in Revelation 13 second Thessalonians to his call. The man of lawlessness.

He's the very personification of evil, and he's gone. Mark he's got number of you know that market number is 666… To that number on your Bible to Revelation 1330 divided uses this fiction does not do Hollywood's scissors of Scripture John Holland as he was is a vision from God and his part of it. Revelation 13 verse 16.

Also it causes both all, both small and great, both rich and poor slave and free, to be marked on the right hand or on the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark that is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the one who is understanding again. Think brothers and sisters will be deceived but have understanding calculate the number of the beast foot is the number of a man and his number is 666 last three and half years of the tribulation, the great tribulation, the Antichrist will reveal his true identity, he will persecute the people of God and all those who have not received his mark there at the antichrist will mandate that everyone receive the mark. You dig it on your hand or on your foreheads.

It's up a brand is that when I sent that to in this way, the antichrist has worldwide needs economic and political control. We read no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, you go to fuel your car and your unable to get it unless you have the mark of much of the sign. Unless you have the right number.

You go to Harris Teeter to get your groceries to do all your groceries in your coming on you to give you credit card will be dealing I'm pretty sure with a cashless society. It is very possible and without technology and the other person says no, your credit card is not working with the mark. The antichrist will know exactly what everyone is and many will take the mark.

Think of the economic pressure.

Think of the political pressure to take the mark of the beast.

Now can I say I don't live very… My ticket so we will agree to disagree with me but we need to think about the covert vaccine is not the mark of the beast. Please some of your laughing, but I receive. I received emails I receive questions faster is the covert vaccine. The mark of the beast know it's not the mark of the beast. Absolutely not. Think of it visible when on the tribulation yet, but the mark of the beast is not something you accidentally receive now that you let your doctor and you get the flu vaccine with a markedly since admitted so that you get the shingles shot at the mark of the beast is presented another's conspiracies theories put out by those who are anti-vaccine that this is the mark of the beast. Total total nonsense. The mark of the beast. According to Scripture, is an intentional sign which people deliberately take declaring that allegiance to the antichrist at the point of it is nonslip to you make up your mind, are you on the side of the antichrist or are you not if you're on the side of the antichrist to deliberately go and you intentionally get the mark of the beast is not something slipped into you accidentally know whether you take the covert vaccine are not is another issue for health reasons or other reasons you may choose to get it or you may choose not to get it. Personally, I've got it. I continue to get it and I don't have the mark of the beast on the ice. Don't be led astray that with the antichrist breaks the peace treaty with Israel after 3 1/2 years.

The terrible events of the great tribulation will follow as possible as prophesied by Jesus. If you diffuser be persecuted for refusing market-based unit tribulation, you may well be killed. It's called the time of Jacob's trouble or Jacob's distress. Praise God that we, the church will be there will be at home with the Lord, let me finish with this. As followers of Jesus, we picture were not looking for the tribulation were not looking for the antichrist will not alert were watching was going on in society were watching was going on in the church community and economic community where lies were looking, but above all, we are looking for our Lord Jesus Christ. That's a blessed hope. Make sure you're spending more time looking for Christ than hunting for conspiracy theories.

Make sure your eyes out on that blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. We will not go through the tribulation.

No, first Thessalonians 1 verse 10 first Thessalonians 5 verse nine, Paul explicitly says that our Lord Jesus delivers us from the room to come God's wrath is coming on this for those who don't believe. No, not waiting for that were waiting for his son from heaven is a Jesus is saying that Roth is coming saying to the disciples using a beautiful temple is going to be.

I gently destroyed in the future. Those who reject Christ will experience his Roth where is the only place of safety. Listen to Paul Romans five verse six for God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Any sinners soon Christ died for you while you are still sin. Since therefore, we've now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the above God's wrath is coming on those who refuse above to the Lord Jesus Christ. Her unsaved. The only place of safety is in Jesus Christ to be sheltered as the client were singing to be sheltered because the blood has been applied will belong to Christ's will in Christ would say were eternally safe from the judgment of the wrath of God. Praise God during the tribulation. People will be faced with a stark choice. Think of, will you take the mark of the beast. The antichrist or will you know you take kids on the limits arrive you can't buy or sell your business is going time you get foods but my going to survive. Would you do would be your choice and ask you what is your choice today is your choice today, choose you this day whom you will serve as for me and my house were to serve the Lord with those who say no.

We would never ever ever deny our Lord. Religions are top allegiance and thank him before that testimony for you said it very clearly that your trust was in Christ you're going to send for him irrespective of the opposition made all of us have such cottage that whatever we honor whoever surrounds us that we would never ever ever deny our Lord Jesus Christ that our allegiance is to him or about you in the kingdom of God or the kingdom of Satan are you in the kingdom of light or the kingdom of darkness.

The kingdom of God's order on tiny little kingdom in time for those of us who are saved will be troubled. Let not your heart be troubled, says Jesus you believe in God believe also in me. In my father's house are many mansions were not so I would've told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also wonderful Lord Jesus Christ is gone.

He's prepared my salvation. The work is done. You've never done this by at his feet.

Confess your sins and receive Christ and pass on the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God, a kingdom which will never end kingdom which is greater than Satan greater than the antichrist greater than the forces of darkness that kingdom will never end.

In meantime we say. Even so, Lord Jesus, we stand witnessing and as we stand. May we prepare our hearts, whose side are you on darkness or light. Satan or Christ's be strong. Draw that line set belong to Christ were of your son strong in your business son strong at school stand strong in the bank stand strong in the neighborhood for Jesus Christ and shyness are bright light result in the darkness as we say. Even so, Lord Jesus we pray the father as we stand before you make that response me that they come that blessed hope, the glory of the appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ our Lord
