[00:00:11] All right, good morning, everyone.
[00:00:13] We welcome our students this morning
[00:00:14] to Fire and Gray School of Ministry.
[00:00:17] This is second semester,
[00:00:19] and we are in eschatology block here.
[00:00:23] We've already covered the trumpets, the seven trumpets.
[00:00:25] We covered the seven seals last week,
[00:00:28] and now we're gonna cover the seven vials of wrath
[00:00:31] and the millennial reign,
[00:00:32] kind of an overview of the millennial reign.
[00:00:34] Hopefully today we'll get through all of this.
[00:00:38] But anyway, let's get started.
[00:00:40] Of course, we'll just review a little bit from last week.
[00:00:43] Remember the book of Revelation we said contains seven seals,
[00:00:47] seven trumpets, and seven vials of wrath.
[00:00:51] We made it very clear last week and pointed out
[00:00:53] that each of these are their own story.
[00:00:57] It's not like the seven seals happened,
[00:00:59] then the seven trumpets happened,
[00:01:00] then the seven vials of wrath happened.
[00:01:02] These are each their own story
[00:01:05] within the story of the end times
[00:01:08] and the second coming of Jesus,
[00:01:10] and they tell different aspects of it,
[00:01:11] just like the different gospels tell,
[00:01:14] a little bit different accounts.
[00:01:16] Some give a little less, some give a little more,
[00:01:18] some give details on certain things that happen
[00:01:22] and others don't, but you take the four gospels,
[00:01:26] you put them together, you get the whole picture.
[00:01:28] It's the same way with this.
[00:01:29] You take these, these are separate stories,
[00:01:31] but you put them together and you get the whole story,
[00:01:33] but the key to it is understanding how to put them together.
[00:01:38] So we made this timeline a number of years ago
[00:01:41] to kind of give a visual of how they work together.
[00:01:45] They don't all begin at the same time,
[00:01:48] the seven seals, the seven trumpets, the seven vials,
[00:01:51] but they do all end at the same time.
[00:01:54] I'm gonna show you that today.
[00:01:56] These are the seven seals,
[00:01:57] I believe actually were opened in the first century
[00:02:01] and will culminate at the end of the second coming.
[00:02:05] I'm gonna show you again, the sixth seal
[00:02:07] is the second coming of Jesus,
[00:02:08] just like it's spelled out in Matthew chapter 24.
[00:02:13] And then I'll show you where we get
[00:02:14] to the seventh vial of wrath today
[00:02:16] and it says the same thing about the sixth seal.
[00:02:19] And the reason it's the sixth seal,
[00:02:21] not the seventh seal is the end
[00:02:22] because the seventh seal is just 30 minutes of silence
[00:02:25] because everybody's in awe at what's happening.
[00:02:27] All right, but these overlap.
[00:02:30] And as I've told you, we did the seven trumpets
[00:02:33] and I believe they started with World War I.
[00:02:36] And so really with the Azusa street revival,
[00:02:41] so we'll say from say 1906 and the great earthquake
[00:02:45] for the San Francisco earthquake of 1906
[00:02:48] and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
[00:02:49] believe that's actually detailed in Revelation.
[00:02:53] Hey there, but that's when the trumpet started,
[00:02:55] I believe you can disagree if you want to,
[00:02:57] but that's what I believe.
[00:02:58] And that the next event we're waiting for
[00:03:01] is the six trumpet war.
[00:03:03] And then of course the seventh trumpet
[00:03:05] says the mystery of God is finished.
[00:03:08] Kind of like the seventh vial says it is done.
[00:03:12] Very similar wording.
[00:03:14] So that's what we'll go here and read this.
[00:03:15] This is Revelation 10.7.
[00:03:17] At the end of the trumpets,
[00:03:19] the blowing of the seven trumpets, it says this,
[00:03:21] but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel,
[00:03:25] when he shall began to sound,
[00:03:26] the mystery of God should be finished
[00:03:30] as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
[00:03:33] Now, if these don't overlap,
[00:03:36] how could you go with the traditional teaching
[00:03:38] and say you're gonna have these seven trumpets
[00:03:40] and then you're gonna have these seven vials of wrath
[00:03:43] that are gonna be poured out three and a half more years
[00:03:47] to go, how could the mystery of God be finished,
[00:03:49] everything that he spoke to the prophets?
[00:03:51] It's impossible, they have to overlap.
[00:03:54] So that's what I'm getting at.
[00:03:56] What you see here, the seventh trumpet
[00:03:58] is the last trumpet,
[00:03:59] it's the end of the tribulation period.
[00:04:03] It is the last trump that Paul speaks of.
[00:04:05] When the mystery of God,
[00:04:07] remember Paul said, I show you a mystery.
[00:04:09] We should not all sleep, but we shall be changed
[00:04:11] in the moment, the twinkling of an eye.
[00:04:13] At the last trumpet, the trumpet shall sound
[00:04:16] and when the dead and Christ shall rise first,
[00:04:19] of course, and then he talked about the corruptible,
[00:04:21] putting on incorruption, the immortal,
[00:04:24] the mortal body putting on immortality.
[00:04:26] And so that's found in 1 Corinthians 15.
[00:04:29] So here's the last trump,
[00:04:31] but the last trump actually is happening
[00:04:35] at the same time as the seventh vial and the sixth seal.
[00:04:42] They're all the same time period,
[00:04:45] and actually I believe they're all the same day.
[00:04:48] It is the great day of God's wrath,
[00:04:50] the second coming, and in that day,
[00:04:53] how many of you know,
[00:04:54] a lot of things can happen in one day, right?
[00:04:56] In a 24 hour period, a lot can go down, right?
[00:05:01] And so within this day, the mystery of God is finished.
[00:05:06] I believe the rapture takes place
[00:05:07] just as the second coming begins.
[00:05:10] It's an instantaneous thing.
[00:05:12] We meet the Lord in the air as he's on his way down.
[00:05:17] It's all happening at the same time at the last trumpet.
[00:05:20] And it goes along with what Jesus said in John 6
[00:05:23] when he said that the dead and Christ,
[00:05:26] there are those that believe in him are the righteous.
[00:05:30] He said, I will raise him up at the last day.
[00:05:34] He says it like four times in that chapter,
[00:05:36] at the last day.
[00:05:38] So that's why I am a post tribulation rapture guy
[00:05:44] at the end, because I just believe it all makes sense.
[00:05:48] All the pieces of the puzzle come together
[00:05:50] and you don't have to do theological monkey gymnastics
[00:05:54] to make it work.
[00:05:55] It all flows together.
[00:05:56] The last trumpet, the end, the last day,
[00:06:00] Jesus said, in fact, Jesus said in Luke 17,
[00:06:03] he said, just like it was in the days of Lot,
[00:06:06] he said, the same day Lot went out of Sodom,
[00:06:09] it rained fire and brimstone and destroyed them all.
[00:06:12] Well, the same day we go up to meet the Lord in the air
[00:06:15] is when the vial of wrath pours out
[00:06:19] and destroys all the cities of the nations
[00:06:22] as we're gonna see in a moment.
[00:06:24] So remember, the Bible talks about it.
[00:06:25] It uses the phrase, the great day of God's wrath,
[00:06:29] not the great seven years,
[00:06:31] not the great, you know, three and a half years,
[00:06:34] not the, it says the great day.
[00:06:37] So, you said, well, Pastor Dean has God not poured out wrath
[00:06:41] in different times and judgments on different nations
[00:06:44] in different seasons throughout, yeah,
[00:06:46] throughout time he's done that.
[00:06:48] But we're talking about this specific in time one here.
[00:06:53] All right, so let's keep going here.
[00:06:54] And this is, just to show you, this is Revelation 16.
[00:06:57] We're gonna go ahead and read about the seventh vial,
[00:07:02] just so you can compare,
[00:07:03] I'm gonna show you, prove what I'm saying,
[00:07:06] the seventh vial,
[00:07:06] then we're gonna look at the sixth seal again,
[00:07:08] those verses.
[00:07:09] But here's Revelation 16, 16 through 21.
[00:07:13] And it says, he gathered them together
[00:07:15] into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
[00:07:18] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air.
[00:07:22] And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven
[00:07:25] from the throne saying, it is done.
[00:07:28] Now, if you say it is done,
[00:07:31] do you have three and a half years left?
[00:07:33] No, there's no time left.
[00:07:36] It is done, same thing.
[00:07:37] If you say the mystery of God is finished,
[00:07:39] would you say we have anything else to do?
[00:07:42] Right, no.
[00:07:44] All right, so same wording.
[00:07:47] And he says, and there were voices
[00:07:49] and thunders and lightnings
[00:07:51] and there was a great earthquake, a great earthquake,
[00:07:54] such as was not since men were upon the earth,
[00:07:57] so mighty an earthquake and so great.
[00:07:59] So a great and mighty earthquake.
[00:08:02] And the great city was divided into three parts
[00:08:05] and the cities of the nations fell.
[00:08:07] This is important.
[00:08:08] And the cities of the nations fell.
[00:08:11] The cities, doesn't say some of them,
[00:08:13] it doesn't say a few of them,
[00:08:14] doesn't say a couple of them.
[00:08:16] It says the cities, meaning all of them.
[00:08:20] All the cities of the nations fall.
[00:08:23] This earthquake will shake them down to the ground, to rubble.
[00:08:28] That's a, would you say it's a great day of wrath?
[00:08:30] Right there.
[00:08:31] All right, and it says, and great Babylon
[00:08:35] came in remembrance before God
[00:08:37] to give unto her the cup of the wine
[00:08:39] or the fiercest of her wrath.
[00:08:40] And of course, great Babylon, I believe the Bible is clear,
[00:08:43] Revelation 17 and 18, that all the clues
[00:08:47] around mystery Babylon point to the Vatican
[00:08:50] and the city of Rome.
[00:08:51] And so Rome is a city.
[00:08:53] So also comes into this falling under judgment.
[00:08:58] So this is when Babylon is judged.
[00:09:00] There's a lot of people out there
[00:09:01] teaching that the United States is mystery Babylon
[00:09:04] and that United States is gonna be destroyed
[00:09:05] and that's what's gonna throw us
[00:09:06] into the tribulation period.
[00:09:08] But where do they get that from?
[00:09:09] First of all, it's not the United States.
[00:09:11] And second of all, mystery Babylon is judged or destroyed
[00:09:14] not at the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel
[00:09:18] over the last seven years, but at the very end.
[00:09:20] And that's what the Bible teaches.
[00:09:22] At the very end, mystery Babylon is destroyed.
[00:09:26] God gives her the cup of the wine
[00:09:29] or the fiercest of his wrath.
[00:09:30] And look at verse 20.
[00:09:31] So remember that.
[00:09:32] And every island fled away
[00:09:35] and the mountains were not found.
[00:09:38] That's, this is at your seventh vial of wrath.
[00:09:41] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven,
[00:09:45] every stone about the weight of a talent
[00:09:48] and men blaspheme God because of the plague of the hail
[00:09:52] for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
[00:09:55] That's the seventh vial of wrath.
[00:09:58] And as I said, we'll get back to it in a second.
[00:10:01] But here, look at the sixth seal.
[00:10:03] This is Revelation 6, 12 through 17.
[00:10:06] Let's read about the sixth seal
[00:10:08] and see if it sounds exactly the same
[00:10:11] or at least very similar to what we read
[00:10:14] at the seventh vial of wrath at the very end.
[00:10:17] Let's just, again, this proves my point.
[00:10:19] We compare scripture with scripture.
[00:10:20] We don't put our own interpretation on it.
[00:10:23] That's why I believe these overlap
[00:10:25] is because it's clear the sixth seal
[00:10:27] and the seventh vial of wrath
[00:10:28] are talking about the same event, the same time period,
[00:10:31] the same series of event.
[00:10:34] This is Revelation 6, 12 through 17.
[00:10:37] Verse 12, and I beheld, and when he had opened
[00:10:39] the sixth seal and lo, there was a great earthquake.
[00:10:42] Can we just read about that
[00:10:43] and the seventh vial of wrath?
[00:10:44] A great earthquake, not just an earthquake,
[00:10:47] but a great earthquake.
[00:10:49] And the sun became black as sackcloth of hair
[00:10:51] and the moon became as blood and the stars of heaven
[00:10:54] or the firmament fell into the earth
[00:10:56] even as the fig tree casteth her untimely figs
[00:10:58] when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
[00:11:01] And the heaven, the firmament departed as a scroll
[00:11:03] when it is rolled together.
[00:11:05] And what does it say here?
[00:11:06] And every mountain and island were moved
[00:11:10] out of their places.
[00:11:12] Is that exactly what we read
[00:11:14] happened at the seventh vial of wrath?
[00:11:16] Yes, so these go together.
[00:11:19] And he says, and the kings of the earth
[00:11:21] and the great men and the rich men and the chief captains
[00:11:24] and the mighty men and every bond man and every free man
[00:11:27] hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains
[00:11:29] and said to the mountains and rocks,
[00:11:31] fallen us and hide us from the face
[00:11:33] of him that sitteth on the throne
[00:11:34] and from the wrath of the lamb for what?
[00:11:37] For the great day of his wrath is come.
[00:11:41] Who shall be able to stand?
[00:11:44] When preacher of rapture people talk about,
[00:11:46] the verse in 1 Thessalonians chapter five,
[00:11:50] when they talk about that,
[00:11:51] about God has not appointed us to wrath,
[00:11:54] but to obtain salvation.
[00:11:59] It's clear here, I believe, just like they believe,
[00:12:02] I agree with them, that we're gonna be taken up
[00:12:06] right before the severity of this wrath comes down.
[00:12:11] The dead in Christ will rise first,
[00:12:12] then we which are alive and remain will be caught up.
[00:12:15] I do believe in a rapture, the first resurrection.
[00:12:17] And I believe that the Bible was very clear
[00:12:19] that it's gonna happen on the same day of this great wrath,
[00:12:23] but right before this great earthquake
[00:12:27] and the cities of the nations fall
[00:12:29] and every island and mountains move.
[00:12:31] We will not be here for all that.
[00:12:34] We will meet the Lord in the air
[00:12:35] and we will be with him while that is happening, all right?
[00:12:40] So, no disagreement there.
[00:12:42] And see, again, that the scriptures can't be broken.
[00:12:46] They're not being violated at all because we do believe.
[00:12:50] I think it just comes down to a point is,
[00:12:52] when is God's wrath really poured out?
[00:12:54] And some people will say,
[00:12:55] well, what about these other vials?
[00:12:57] Aren't they wrath?
[00:12:58] Why are we here for that?
[00:12:59] Well, let me, you're gonna see.
[00:13:01] Number one, well, number one,
[00:13:03] let's go back to the plagues God poured out on Egypt.
[00:13:08] God poured out 10 plagues on Egypt
[00:13:10] and some of them very similar to what we're gonna see
[00:13:13] at these plagues of wrath,
[00:13:14] but the children of Israel,
[00:13:15] did they leave Egypt before the plagues
[00:13:18] of wrath on Egypt or after they were finished?
[00:13:23] Well, it's pretty clear after they were finished,
[00:13:24] God is able to, what?
[00:13:26] Preserve his people
[00:13:29] and not appoint his people to suffer through
[00:13:31] the same things that the wicked are suffering through,
[00:13:33] even though we may be living in the same place, okay?
[00:13:38] Now, let's look at this
[00:13:40] because we get into the details of it here.
[00:13:43] Of course, we have the seven angels,
[00:13:45] the seven bowls or vials of wrath.
[00:13:49] And we're gonna back up now
[00:13:50] and begin to read about the vials of wrath.
[00:13:53] And we're gonna go down through them,
[00:13:55] one through seven here, okay?
[00:13:57] So this is Revelation 16, starting in verse one.
[00:14:02] And this is where the vials of wrath
[00:14:04] or the bowls of wrath began to be poured out.
[00:14:06] He said, I heard a great voice out of the temple,
[00:14:08] saying to the seven angels,
[00:14:10] go your way and pour out your vials
[00:14:12] or pour out the vials of wrath of God upon the earth.
[00:14:16] And the first went out
[00:14:17] and poured out his vial upon the earth
[00:14:19] and there fell a noisome and grievous sore
[00:14:22] upon the men which had the mark of the beast
[00:14:24] and upon them which worshiped his image.
[00:14:27] Now, let's just think about that.
[00:14:29] This right here is a timestamp as well
[00:14:32] because we know from Revelation 13,
[00:14:36] when the Antichrist and his world government beast,
[00:14:39] when they institute the mark
[00:14:42] and declare war on the saints,
[00:14:44] in that same few verses there in Revelation 13,
[00:14:48] he says that he has,
[00:14:51] the Bible says he has 42 months to continue.
[00:14:54] So somewhere around the middle of the last seven years
[00:14:59] is when the mark of the beast is gonna be instituted,
[00:15:01] all right, and is when the real persecution
[00:15:04] and the real war at the Antichrist
[00:15:07] and the world government
[00:15:08] is gonna war began against the Christians,
[00:15:11] that's really gonna kick in at the three and a half year mark
[00:15:15] when again, we're given a timestamp, Revelation 13.
[00:15:19] It says he has 42 months to continue.
[00:15:22] So if that's the case,
[00:15:24] then the first vial of wrath cannot happen
[00:15:28] until the mark of the beast has been implemented
[00:15:32] and received by the majority of the world
[00:15:35] because the sore, this first vial of wrath
[00:15:38] falls on those who have the mark.
[00:15:40] Well, what does that tell us?
[00:15:42] That this vial of wrath does not affect the Christians,
[00:15:46] the born again believers in Jesus Christ
[00:15:49] who did not take the mark of the beast.
[00:15:51] So God's gonna put a difference right there
[00:15:53] between the saved and the unsaved
[00:15:55] and those who took the mark and didn't take the mark.
[00:15:58] It's very clear.
[00:15:59] So we have a vial of wrath being poured out,
[00:16:02] the first vial of wrath
[00:16:03] and God clearly showing that the righteous,
[00:16:07] the believers, those who don't have the mark of the beast
[00:16:10] at this point, will not be affected by this.
[00:16:13] This is a vial of wrath or God's judgment
[00:16:17] strictly on those who have the mark of the beast
[00:16:22] who are worshiping Satan, the Antichrist and his image
[00:16:27] kind of like Israel and Goshen, right?
[00:16:30] All right.
[00:16:32] And of course, we'll give you a little picture there,
[00:16:35] the first bowl, painful sores,
[00:16:38] broke out on those who had the mark of the beast
[00:16:40] and worshiped its image.
[00:16:42] I don't even wanna know what kind of painful sores
[00:16:46] we're gonna be talking about.
[00:16:47] Well, let's back up here and read the vial two.
[00:16:52] The second vial of wrath here,
[00:16:55] we start reading about it in verse three,
[00:16:57] Revelation 16, three.
[00:16:58] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea
[00:17:02] and it became as the blood of a dead man
[00:17:04] or the blood of a corpse.
[00:17:06] And every living soul died in the sea.
[00:17:11] Now, this is pretty serious.
[00:17:15] But again, is this poured out upon people?
[00:17:20] No, this is a judgment on the earth itself, all right?
[00:17:28] And again, it's just like God turned the,
[00:17:32] he turned the rivers to blood in Egypt,
[00:17:34] the Nile River to blood and everything,
[00:17:36] the fish in it began to die to show them,
[00:17:39] guess what?
[00:17:40] So many of you have been getting your provision
[00:17:41] from the sea, that's over with, all right?
[00:17:46] So that was the second one.
[00:17:48] Do you think Christians, we might could survive
[00:17:51] without seawater and fish from the sea for a while?
[00:17:55] You think God might be able to take care of us
[00:17:57] in spite of that judgment?
[00:17:58] Well, absolutely, he did that with Israel
[00:18:00] and he can do it with us.
[00:18:04] So let's peek at that one here, number two there.
[00:18:08] So the second bowl or vial of wrath, the sea,
[00:18:10] the blood of a dead man, the blood of a corpse,
[00:18:13] everything in the sea dies.
[00:18:17] So severe judgment, but again, it's something
[00:18:20] that we Christians could live through
[00:18:22] and not be affected by it individually, personally,
[00:18:27] physically in any way, we wouldn't be suffering
[00:18:30] from this vial of wrath.
[00:18:34] We would see it on the news and probably cancel any trip
[00:18:37] we had to the beach, all right?
[00:18:42] Just saying, all right, let's back up here.
[00:18:46] So we go back and we read about the third vial, verse four
[00:18:51] here, the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers
[00:18:54] and the fountains of waters and they became blood.
[00:18:57] So this is a plague or a vial of wrath exactly identical
[00:19:02] to what God did in Egypt when Moses turned the waters
[00:19:06] of Egypt to blood and yet somehow the Israelite survived
[00:19:09] that period of that judgment.
[00:19:12] We don't know how long this is gonna last,
[00:19:13] may last the whole time, but again, I still believe
[00:19:19] this is something that born again believers can go through
[00:19:22] and not be, I mean, let's be real, of course,
[00:19:28] what was going on in Egypt had an effect on the Israelites
[00:19:33] when they were witnessing what was going on,
[00:19:35] but they didn't suffer God's wrath.
[00:19:38] They didn't, you know, they didn't, they survived it.
[00:19:43] They all survived and left Egypt, okay?
[00:19:47] So that's the water's turning blood.
[00:19:50] So the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers
[00:19:52] and the fountains of water and they became blood.
[00:19:54] And I heard the angel of the water say,
[00:19:56] thou art righteous, O Lord, which art and was to shalt be,
[00:19:59] because thou hast judged thus,
[00:20:02] for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets
[00:20:05] and thou has given them blood to drink
[00:20:08] for they are worthy.
[00:20:10] So they wanna drink blood and worship the devil.
[00:20:12] Lord's gonna say here, drink up, all right?
[00:20:17] And so these are the first three,
[00:20:19] the first vial of wrath, the painful sores on those
[00:20:23] who have the mark of the beast or worship his image.
[00:20:27] The second one, the vial of wrath is poured out
[00:20:30] upon the sea, the oceans, everything in them dies.
[00:20:36] And then the rivers and springs of water,
[00:20:39] the third vial of wrath, they become blood,
[00:20:42] the judgment because of them killing the saints
[00:20:46] of the Lord, prophets of the Lord.
[00:20:51] And now let's move on.
[00:20:52] Revelation 16, seven through 13.
[00:20:55] So we've dealt with one through three here.
[00:20:59] Now we go to the fourth angel.
[00:21:04] So we'll go to, well, verse seven says,
[00:21:06] and I heard another out of the altar say even so,
[00:21:09] Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
[00:21:12] And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun
[00:21:16] and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire
[00:21:20] and men were scorched with great heat
[00:21:22] and blasphemed the name of God,
[00:21:24] which hath power over these plagues
[00:21:25] and they repented not to give him glory.
[00:21:29] So again, he pours out this on the sun,
[00:21:33] something happens again.
[00:21:36] I personally believe God is able to put a difference
[00:21:39] between the believers and the non-believers,
[00:21:42] between those who have the mark and don't have the mark,
[00:21:46] between those who are serving God and those who are not,
[00:21:48] even with this particular one.
[00:21:50] Give you that little illustration.
[00:21:53] Found this guy, did these illustrations,
[00:21:55] I really liked it, so I used them.
[00:21:58] But scorched men with fire.
[00:22:01] But again, I believe God is able to control
[00:22:04] who is scorched and who is not.
[00:22:06] It's obvious that the ones who were being scorched
[00:22:09] didn't repent, but I don't think he's talking
[00:22:12] about people who have repented and believed in Jesus.
[00:22:16] All right, so we go on to the fifth angel.
[00:22:20] And this particular, this fifth vial of wrath
[00:22:23] is specifically on the seat or the kingdom
[00:22:28] where the beast, the Antichrist will have his headquarters,
[00:22:31] or his, you know, basically his like White House
[00:22:34] and his throne, his, where he will be located from,
[00:22:39] all right, or he operate from his main bay.
[00:22:41] So verse 10, it says, and the fifth angel
[00:22:43] poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast
[00:22:46] and his kingdom was full of darkness,
[00:22:49] and they gnawed their tongues for pain
[00:22:51] and blasphemed the God of heaven
[00:22:53] because of their pains and their sores
[00:22:55] and repented not of their deeds.
[00:22:57] So again, he says, they're sores.
[00:23:00] So these are still people still being afflicted
[00:23:04] by the first vial, all right.
[00:23:07] And now God's poured darkness upon the kingdom
[00:23:10] of the beast, mainly again, like I said, his seat,
[00:23:13] which could possibly be Iraq,
[00:23:16] it could possibly be somewhere in Europe.
[00:23:19] I have no idea where, I've got a sneaky suspicion
[00:23:23] that the place we've built in Babylon
[00:23:26] near the Euphrates River might be it,
[00:23:28] but we'll talk about that on another day.
[00:23:31] But we go to now the sixth angel
[00:23:34] and the sixth vial of wrath.
[00:23:36] Verse 12, and the sixth angel poured out his vial of wrath
[00:23:39] upon the great river Euphrates,
[00:23:42] and the water thereof was dried up
[00:23:44] that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
[00:23:48] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
[00:23:50] come out of the mouth of the dragon
[00:23:52] and out of the mouth of the beast, the antichrist,
[00:23:54] and out of the mouth of the false prophet,
[00:23:55] I believe will be the final pope.
[00:23:59] So we saw these unclean spirits like frogs
[00:24:01] go out of their mouths,
[00:24:02] the Euphrates River is dried up,
[00:24:04] and what is the purpose of that?
[00:24:07] Here we are, Euphrates is dried up.
[00:24:09] Now it's interesting that the Turks
[00:24:12] have built massive dams upstream there in Turkey
[00:24:19] on the Euphrates River,
[00:24:20] so at any point in time,
[00:24:21] they can shut the dams off
[00:24:23] and it can be dried up instantly.
[00:24:27] And in fact, they've already done it
[00:24:28] when they were testing it
[00:24:29] to fill the reservoir in Turkey, all right?
[00:24:34] But anyway, the demons go forth,
[00:24:35] these unclean spirits look like frogs
[00:24:37] go out of the mouth of the dragon,
[00:24:39] out of the mouth of the beast,
[00:24:40] and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
[00:24:43] And they go to gather their armies
[00:24:47] to the Megiddo Valley in Israel
[00:24:51] for the Battle of Armageddon.
[00:24:52] They know Jesus is getting close to Jesus coming,
[00:24:55] and they mass their troops
[00:24:58] to go to war against the Lord Jesus Christ,
[00:25:02] because they know it's about to go down.
[00:25:06] So here we go, Revelation 16, 14 through 19
[00:25:10] and we'll read the rest of this here,
[00:25:12] because this gives us the rest of what happens.
[00:25:16] These unclean spirits that go out of the mouth of the beast,
[00:25:18] the false prophet and the dragon, the devil,
[00:25:21] these are the spirits of devils,
[00:25:23] working miracles which go forth
[00:25:25] unto the kings of the earth
[00:25:27] and of the whole world,
[00:25:28] to gather them to the battle of that great day.
[00:25:32] Again, you see the term, great day of God Almighty.
[00:25:37] And then Jesus speaks here,
[00:25:38] it is, behold, I come as a thief.
[00:25:41] Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments,
[00:25:43] lest he walk naked and they see his shame.
[00:25:46] Again, here's the warning.
[00:25:49] It's like a pause for a second in this warning.
[00:25:52] It's gonna come on you.
[00:25:53] What's Jesus saying?
[00:25:54] It's gonna come on you quicker than you think
[00:25:58] and don't be deceived.
[00:26:01] And it says that he gathered them together
[00:26:03] into the place in the Hebrew tongue called Armageddon.
[00:26:06] We know from the book of Joel, Megiddo Valley.
[00:26:10] And then it says, and the seventh angel,
[00:26:12] so we get to the seventh.
[00:26:13] So Armageddon, the gathering of the armies
[00:26:15] is the sixth vial of wrath.
[00:26:17] The Euphrates drying up.
[00:26:19] Evil spirits going forth together
[00:26:21] to do demonic miracles together,
[00:26:24] the kings of the earth to fight Jesus.
[00:26:29] So here, right before this happens,
[00:26:31] the seventh angel poured out his vow unto the air.
[00:26:36] And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven
[00:26:39] from the throne saying, it is done.
[00:26:44] You see that?
[00:26:46] Same thing we read a minute ago about the seventh trumpet.
[00:26:49] The mystery of God is finished.
[00:26:51] It is done.
[00:26:53] So this is the second coming here, all right?
[00:26:58] This voice out of heaven said, it's done.
[00:27:00] There were voices and thunders and lightnings
[00:27:03] and there was a great earthquake
[00:27:05] such was not since men were upon the earth,
[00:27:07] so mighty an earthquake and so great.
[00:27:09] And the great city that was divided into three parts
[00:27:11] and the cities of the nations fell.
[00:27:13] I know we just read this, but it's always good to repeat.
[00:27:16] And great Babylon came in remembrance before God
[00:27:19] to give unto her the cup of the wine
[00:27:21] and the fierceness of his wrath.
[00:27:24] And so the day of judgment comes
[00:27:26] and this is the seventh bowl.
[00:27:29] It is done.
[00:27:30] Great earthquake.
[00:27:31] Babylon judged.
[00:27:34] Every island and mountain no longer found, moved.
[00:27:37] And then of course, the hell stones.
[00:27:40] 100 pound hells, I believe these are pieces
[00:27:43] of the firmament.
[00:27:44] This is just my belief on this.
[00:27:47] I believe that when God begins to break up
[00:27:49] and roll back the firmament,
[00:27:51] that that's what these,
[00:27:52] it's gonna be pieces of the firmament falling down.
[00:27:55] Or maybe ice that's attached under the firmament
[00:27:58] due to the temperature differences.
[00:28:00] I don't know, but it's gonna have to do
[00:28:02] with the firmament, that aspect of solid firmament,
[00:28:06] shaking, being rolled back like a scroll.
[00:28:09] We just read this, but verse 20,
[00:28:11] every island fled away, every mountain were not found.
[00:28:14] Verse 21, the last verse in Revelation 16.
[00:28:17] And there fell upon men great hell out of heaven.
[00:28:21] Every stone about the weight of a talent.
[00:28:23] Some have said that that's about 100 pounds, right?
[00:28:28] But imagine 100 pounds falling at the speed of sound,
[00:28:36] Mach 1 or so, down to the ground.
[00:28:39] It's gonna be bad day, right?
[00:28:42] Every day said that men blasphemed God
[00:28:44] because of the plague of the hell
[00:28:46] for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
[00:28:51] So this is this great day of God's wrath.
[00:28:53] Now, what a lot of people don't understand
[00:28:56] about the book of Revelation is Revelation 16,
[00:29:00] it takes you to the end.
[00:29:01] It takes you to the seventh vial of wrath.
[00:29:03] It takes you to the great day of God's judgment.
[00:29:05] Revelation 17 and 18 is like this pause,
[00:29:10] it's like this parenthetical statement.
[00:29:12] It's just where he goes, wait, okay.
[00:29:15] I mentioned this mystery Babylon in Revelation 16,
[00:29:18] but we gotta stop for a minute.
[00:29:20] And I gotta give you all the clues to identify her, all right?
[00:29:24] Now, we're not covering that today,
[00:29:25] but it's clearly the Roman Catholic Church.
[00:29:27] No question about Vatican and her daughters, right?
[00:29:32] So her judgment comes at the seventh vial of wrath.
[00:29:37] So if you understand that,
[00:29:38] then you can go from Revelation 16,
[00:29:42] if you wanna stay in a chronological order,
[00:29:45] Revelation 16 jumps to Revelation 19.
[00:29:50] Because remember, this is just,
[00:29:52] Revelation 17 and 18 is just giving you
[00:29:54] the story of mystery Babylon.
[00:29:57] Who she is, identifying her,
[00:29:59] and yes, her judgment and that God is angry
[00:30:01] because found in her is the blood of the saints
[00:30:04] and the martyrs and the apostles, all right?
[00:30:09] So if you realize that you can just,
[00:30:12] you can read 17 and 18 by itself.
[00:30:15] But if you wanna follow from Revelation 16,
[00:30:18] you really gotta jump to Revelation 19.
[00:30:20] That's where the story picks back up.
[00:30:23] So we got the seventh vial of wrath happening,
[00:30:25] the great day of God's wrath happening.
[00:30:27] When we jump to 19,
[00:30:29] we get the chronological what's next, all right?
[00:30:33] And what's next, we see is this marriage supper of the lamb.
[00:30:38] While this destruction is going on on the earth,
[00:30:41] we have just been caught up to heaven, the church,
[00:30:44] the saints, born again believers in Jesus Christ.
[00:30:47] We have just been raptured,
[00:30:48] the dead in Christ first, we which are alive,
[00:30:50] we've been raptured up, right, in that moment.
[00:30:53] Remember, here's the scenario, heaven's opened, right?
[00:30:58] Jesus opens heaven and sits there for a minute
[00:31:01] because it says him that sitteth upon the throne, right?
[00:31:05] So heaven's opened and Jesus is sitting.
[00:31:07] So then Jesus stands up,
[00:31:10] steps down a little bit into the clouds
[00:31:14] and calls us up there.
[00:31:18] We meet the Lord in the air,
[00:31:19] the church, the bride of Christ.
[00:31:22] Then he began, the wrath of God is poured out, all right?
[00:31:29] While that's going on, that could be ours.
[00:31:31] We don't know how long.
[00:31:32] While that's going on the same day,
[00:31:34] while that's going on, we have this wedding,
[00:31:38] this marriage supper.
[00:31:40] And we have, we picked this up in Revelation 19.
[00:31:43] So we go from 16 to 19 because this,
[00:31:45] we see what's happening between the wrath of God, right?
[00:31:52] So we got this marriage supper,
[00:31:53] we got this time, this little pause,
[00:31:55] while the cities of the nations and the mountains
[00:31:57] and the islands and everything's being destroyed,
[00:32:02] we've got this time where we're just hidden away
[00:32:04] with him for a little bit.
[00:32:06] And we have this marriage supper.
[00:32:07] So let's read Revelation 19, one through six.
[00:32:10] Remember, picking up from the seventh vial of wrath,
[00:32:14] what, one of the things happening
[00:32:15] at the seventh vial of wrath, mystery Babylon,
[00:32:18] being judged, the city of Babylon,
[00:32:21] look what it says here.
[00:32:23] And after these things,
[00:32:24] I heard a great voice of much people in heaven.
[00:32:27] Oh, what is that?
[00:32:30] After these things,
[00:32:31] I heard the voice of much people in heaven.
[00:32:33] That would be the rapture.
[00:32:34] That would be the church arriving in heaven.
[00:32:39] Saying, Hallelujah, salvation, glory and honor
[00:32:41] and power unto the Lord our God,
[00:32:44] for true and righteous are his judgments.
[00:32:46] Why?
[00:32:46] For he hath judged the great whore,
[00:32:49] which did corrupt the earth with her fornication
[00:32:53] and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
[00:32:56] So this is after the judgment of mystery Babylon.
[00:33:01] So this is what?
[00:33:04] Following, this has given us a sequence,
[00:33:06] a chronological order, later on into the day.
[00:33:11] And it says again, they said, Hallelujah or hallelujah,
[00:33:14] and her smoke rose up forever and ever.
[00:33:17] And the four and 20 elders and the four beasts
[00:33:19] fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne
[00:33:21] saying, amen, hallelujah.
[00:33:24] And a voice came out of the throne saying,
[00:33:26] praise our God, all ye his servants
[00:33:29] and ye that fear him both small and great.
[00:33:32] And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude
[00:33:34] and as the voice of many waters,
[00:33:36] as the voice of mighty thundering saying,
[00:33:38] hallelujah for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
[00:33:41] So there's a lot of praise and excitement going on.
[00:33:45] There's a whole new group of people up there
[00:33:48] praising God that he just judged the great whore,
[00:33:50] mystery Babylon finally,
[00:33:52] that had martyred and killed so many saints
[00:33:56] and deceived the world with her fornication and deception.
[00:34:00] So it goes on though, Revelation 19 seven.
[00:34:03] So we move on from verse six down to verse seven.
[00:34:06] Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor unto him
[00:34:09] for the marriage of the lamb has come
[00:34:11] and his wife, the bride of Christ, the church,
[00:34:14] hath made herself ready.
[00:34:16] And to her was granted that she should be arrayed
[00:34:19] in fine linen, clean and white,
[00:34:21] for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.
[00:34:25] And he saith right, blessed are they which are called
[00:34:27] into the marriage supper of the lamb.
[00:34:29] And he saith unto me, these are the true sayings of God.
[00:34:32] Now here's the church, let me say this.
[00:34:34] Here's the church in heaven telling you
[00:34:38] when the marriage of the supper of the lamb happens
[00:34:41] and because the church just praises God
[00:34:44] for judging mystery Babylon.
[00:34:46] Well, when did he judge mystery Babylon?
[00:34:48] At the seventh vial of wrath at the very end.
[00:34:51] So guess what, pre-trib rapture folks,
[00:34:54] you can't have a pre-trib rapture
[00:34:57] and this marriage supper of the lamb seven years
[00:35:01] before the seventh vial of wrath.
[00:35:04] Another proof that the pre-trib rapture
[00:35:08] is a false doctrine of men, of demons really.
[00:35:14] It doesn't work biblically in any form or fashion.
[00:35:18] And your little Jewish traditional wedding ceremony
[00:35:23] that you put on the same level as scripture
[00:35:26] is ridiculous, it is a Jewish fable.
[00:35:28] We don't base doctrine on Jewish fables.
[00:35:33] So the Bible tells us when mystery Babylon
[00:35:35] is judged and that the saints,
[00:35:37] the marriage supper of the lamb happens after that.
[00:35:41] So the marriage supper of the lamb,
[00:35:44] the marriage of Jesus in the church
[00:35:46] happens after mystery Babylon is judged, mystery Babylon
[00:35:50] is judged at the seventh vial of wrath
[00:35:54] at the very end of the tribulation period.
[00:35:58] All right, that should be crystal clear.
[00:36:01] If you can't see that, you're blinded by the doctrines
[00:36:04] of men and traditions of men or Jewish fables
[00:36:07] and traditions or your own fear or your own pride.
[00:36:10] If you can't see this, all right, so get free.
[00:36:14] Get free today.
[00:36:17] Now let's keep reading.
[00:36:19] You know what I'm gonna do?
[00:36:20] Just for those folks that the pre-trib folks,
[00:36:22] let me back up and read it again.
[00:36:24] Revelation 19, one, two, six.
[00:36:26] We just saw mystery Babylon judged
[00:36:29] at the seventh vial of wrath.
[00:36:31] I heard a great voice of much people in heaven
[00:36:35] praising God, verse two, for true and righteous
[00:36:37] are his judgment, for he have judged the great whore,
[00:36:40] which did corrupt the earth with her fornication.
[00:36:43] So this is just after that.
[00:36:46] Everybody see that, I want you to see that again.
[00:36:48] I know I'm repeating myself,
[00:36:50] but we got some religious deception going on out there.
[00:36:54] The Bible is clear on this, gives us the timing of it.
[00:36:58] So let's go back to what we were reading a minute ago.
[00:37:00] The marriage of the lamb has come,
[00:37:02] let us be glad and rejoice.
[00:37:04] She's granted the fine linen, white and clean,
[00:37:08] the righteousness of the saints.
[00:37:11] Blessed are they, verse nine,
[00:37:12] that are called to the marriage supper of the lamb.
[00:37:15] Verse 10, and I fell at his feet to worship him
[00:37:17] and he said to me, see it thou do it not.
[00:37:19] I am thou fellow servant,
[00:37:21] and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus.
[00:37:23] Worship God for the testimony of Jesus
[00:37:25] is the spirit of prophecy.
[00:37:27] And here is when, again, the same day
[00:37:30] when the marriage supper is done,
[00:37:32] when the wedding's done,
[00:37:33] and the marriage supper, the reception is done,
[00:37:37] then Jesus comes on a white horse.
[00:37:40] He gets on a horse, we get on horses with him,
[00:37:45] we're going to finish this thing.
[00:37:47] The judgments have fallen, now he's gonna come.
[00:37:51] He's going to defeat the armies of the Antichrist.
[00:37:55] And I saw heaven open, behold a white horse,
[00:37:58] and he that set upon him was called faithful and true.
[00:38:01] And in righteousness doth he judge and make war.
[00:38:04] His eyes were as a flame of fire,
[00:38:07] and on his head were many crowns,
[00:38:08] and he had a name written that no man knew,
[00:38:11] but he himself, we'll keep reading,
[00:38:16] and he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood,
[00:38:18] and his name is called the word of God.
[00:38:21] And the armies which were in heaven
[00:38:22] followed him upon white horses,
[00:38:24] clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
[00:38:28] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
[00:38:30] that with it he should smike the nations,
[00:38:32] and he shall rule them with a rod of iron,
[00:38:35] and he treadeth the winepress
[00:38:36] of the fiercest of the wrath of almighty God,
[00:38:39] and he hath on his vesture and on his thigh
[00:38:41] name written King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
[00:38:44] And I saw an angel standing in the sun,
[00:38:46] and he cried with a loud voice saying,
[00:38:48] to all the fowls that fly the midst of heaven,
[00:38:50] come and gather yourselves together
[00:38:52] unto the supper of the great God
[00:38:54] that ye may eat the flesh of kings,
[00:38:56] and the flesh of captains,
[00:38:57] and the flesh of mighty men,
[00:38:58] and the flesh of horses,
[00:39:00] and of them that sit on them,
[00:39:01] and the flesh of all men,
[00:39:02] both free and bond, both small and great.
[00:39:04] So here's the Battle of Armageddon.
[00:39:06] Jesus and his armies come against,
[00:39:10] and fight against them.
[00:39:12] And then he says, at this point,
[00:39:13] Jesus returns, the blood of captains
[00:39:16] and the mighty men,
[00:39:18] and all of their stuff is destroyed.
[00:39:22] He's called the birds of prey
[00:39:25] to come eat them up.
[00:39:27] And I saw the beast, the antichrist,
[00:39:29] and the kings of the earth that followed him,
[00:39:33] the UN coalition.
[00:39:36] And their armies gathered to make war
[00:39:38] against him that sat on the horse
[00:39:40] and against his army.
[00:39:42] And the beast was taken, the antichrist,
[00:39:44] and with him the false prophet
[00:39:45] that wrought miracles before him,
[00:39:47] with which he had deceived them
[00:39:48] that had received the mark of the beast
[00:39:50] and them that worshiped his image.
[00:39:52] These both were cast alive
[00:39:54] into the lake of fire burning with brimstone,
[00:39:57] and the remnant were slain
[00:39:58] with the sword of him that sat upon the horse,
[00:40:00] which sword proceeded out of his mouth,
[00:40:02] and all the fowls of the birds
[00:40:04] were filled with their flesh.
[00:40:07] So this is the Battle of Armageddon.
[00:40:10] I don't know how that stupid movie Armageddon,
[00:40:12] you know, with Bruce Willis,
[00:40:14] talked about the asteroid coming
[00:40:16] to destroy the earth,
[00:40:17] that that was Armageddon.
[00:40:18] The Bible called that Armageddon.
[00:40:19] It's nonsense.
[00:40:22] Or else they were playing a little game
[00:40:25] that that was a metaphor of Jesus coming
[00:40:30] to destroy them,
[00:40:30] and they were gonna destroy him
[00:40:31] with their weapons of mass destruction, right?
[00:40:36] Their technology, NASA.
[00:40:38] NASA's gonna fight the rock from heaven.
[00:40:41] Huh, that sounds familiar, doesn't it?
[00:40:43] The vision of Daniel, the rock coming from heaven
[00:40:45] to destroy their kingdom.
[00:40:47] Maybe it was all just an allegory, right?
[00:40:51] Except they're saying NASA's gonna save us from this.
[00:40:54] The rock from heaven, who's Jesus coming?
[00:40:57] No, they're not.
[00:40:58] NASA's not gonna save or stop any of this.
[00:41:01] Now, what happens here,
[00:41:04] and I'm gonna go into reading
[00:41:06] all of Revelation 20,
[00:41:07] because I wanna do a quick overview.
[00:41:10] But following the Second Coming
[00:41:12] and the Battle of Armageddon,
[00:41:13] Jesus defeating the armies of the Antichrist
[00:41:15] in the world that has been against him,
[00:41:18] he sets up, he begins to set up his kingdom.
[00:41:20] So we have the Revelation 20
[00:41:21] talking about the first resurrection,
[00:41:24] giving a little detail of that, saying,
[00:41:26] you know, he saw those who were beheaded,
[00:41:29] who had not taken the mark of the beast
[00:41:32] or worshiped his image or his name.
[00:41:34] These were beheaded.
[00:41:35] He said these were in the first resurrection,
[00:41:37] again, destroying the pre-trib rapture,
[00:41:39] false doctrine, because those beheaded
[00:41:42] for not taking the mark of the beast
[00:41:45] were in the first resurrection.
[00:41:47] First resurrection, all right?
[00:41:49] That's Revelation 20, verse four through six there.
[00:41:53] Then he goes on down to say,
[00:41:54] Satan is bound and thrown in the bottomless pit,
[00:41:59] so he's arrested.
[00:42:01] And Jesus sets up his thousand year kingdom on the earth.
[00:42:06] So let's talk a little bit about that
[00:42:08] since I haven't talked much about that.
[00:42:10] Satan's bound, the judgment of the nations happens,
[00:42:15] and then Jesus begins his thousand year,
[00:42:18] literal thousand year reign on the earth
[00:42:23] where he will be seen.
[00:42:24] The nail prints in his hands and feet will be seen.
[00:42:28] It will be known.
[00:42:29] He will have a throne.
[00:42:30] He will be in Jerusalem.
[00:42:32] He will rule from there.
[00:42:33] So here's kind of an overview.
[00:42:35] I'm gonna run through this quickly.
[00:42:36] I'm not gonna look up all these scriptures.
[00:42:39] You can look them up later.
[00:42:39] You see them here on the side.
[00:42:41] The overview, our character of the millennial reign,
[00:42:45] of course, duration is 1000 years.
[00:42:47] It tells that in Revelation 20, two through five.
[00:42:51] Theocratic rule, God will rule in the person
[00:42:54] of Jesus Christ on the throne of David.
[00:42:56] King David reigns as prince under Christ.
[00:43:00] That is in the word given.
[00:43:03] Representative rule, the 12 apostles
[00:43:05] will represent Christ ruling over the 12 tribes.
[00:43:10] The church age and the tribulation saints
[00:43:11] will represent Christ ruling over the Gentile.
[00:43:15] Remember, Jesus said to the 12 apostles,
[00:43:17] you're gonna sit on thrones
[00:43:18] judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
[00:43:22] He tells us that we will judge angels as well.
[00:43:25] So there's going to be rule, universal rule.
[00:43:29] Christ rule will extend both spiritually
[00:43:31] and literally over the entire earth.
[00:43:34] So for a millennials, they got a problem
[00:43:36] because they're trying to say
[00:43:38] that we're in the millennial reign now,
[00:43:39] a spiritual millennial reign.
[00:43:42] No, Jesus is gonna come
[00:43:44] and there's gonna be a real literal kingdom on the earth
[00:43:49] and the scriptures bear that out.
[00:43:52] Let's keep going.
[00:43:54] The seat of government, the earthly Jerusalem
[00:43:56] will be restored, blessed and greatly expanded
[00:43:58] to serve as the seat of government and worship.
[00:44:02] There's all your verses, Isaiah 62.1,
[00:44:04] Isaiah 65, Ezekiel 48, Luke 21, Revelation, so on.
[00:44:10] Global environment, the heavens and the earth
[00:44:11] will be renewed to restore the creation
[00:44:14] to Eden-like conditions and repair the damage
[00:44:17] for man's long reign of abuse
[00:44:19] and the judgments of the tribulation period.
[00:44:22] And you have that there.
[00:44:24] The populace resurrected and glorified saints
[00:44:26] will rule in the midst of Christ's brothers.
[00:44:30] The faithful Jewish remnant, they get saved at the end.
[00:44:33] And the faithful Gentiles who survived the tribulation
[00:44:37] and enter the kingdom to form its initial population.
[00:44:41] Children will be born to those
[00:44:42] who enter the kingdom in their natural bodies.
[00:44:44] So let me just say that.
[00:44:46] That's something a lot of people don't understand.
[00:44:48] There will be people who refuse
[00:44:51] to take the mark of the beast.
[00:44:53] They know about the new world order.
[00:44:55] We see a lot of this in the truth movement.
[00:44:57] There's a lot of people that understand
[00:44:59] the new world order and the coming global,
[00:45:03] worldwide, I should say, economic system
[00:45:06] that's going to be digital and something implanted
[00:45:09] in the hand of the forehead.
[00:45:11] And they know about all this.
[00:45:12] And they say, we're not doing that.
[00:45:14] We're not submitting to that.
[00:45:15] We're not giving in to that.
[00:45:17] But they're not born again believers.
[00:45:19] Now some of them may even think they are and they're not.
[00:45:22] Remember, we got a lot of people
[00:45:23] that think they're Christians and they're not.
[00:45:25] They're not born again.
[00:45:26] So if they survive everything
[00:45:29] and there are gonna be people
[00:45:30] who survive the tribulation period,
[00:45:33] who are not born again, who are not saved,
[00:45:34] but they don't, they refuse to bow to that system.
[00:45:41] And they're gonna live.
[00:45:42] Some of them are gonna live through it.
[00:45:43] And they're gonna be the ones
[00:45:45] that go into the tribulation,
[00:45:47] I mean, into the millennial reign as normal human beings.
[00:45:52] But those of us who were born again,
[00:45:54] truly born again and truly following Jesus
[00:45:56] who will be caught up to be with him,
[00:45:59] whether we're dead or alive, we're gonna be caught up.
[00:46:02] We're gonna be glorified things.
[00:46:03] We're gonna have the new bodies, the immortal bodies,
[00:46:07] the redeemed bodies like Jesus has.
[00:46:09] And we will actually be the rulers over that kingdom.
[00:46:14] And it talks about that for a thousand years,
[00:46:17] somebody a hundred years old during that millennial reign,
[00:46:20] the book of Isaiah 65 says that the person
[00:46:25] that's a hundred years old will be considered an infant,
[00:46:28] a baby, because we're gonna go back to living pre-flood,
[00:46:34] people living up to almost a thousand years old, right?
[00:46:40] But then of course, because they're gonna be natural born
[00:46:45] humans still with flesh, you know, marrying,
[00:46:49] having children, populated,
[00:46:51] repopulating the earth and the nations again
[00:46:53] through the thousand years,
[00:46:55] there's gonna be some rebels rise up.
[00:46:59] All right, we've talked about that.
[00:47:02] But before that, let's just go on down through this.
[00:47:04] There's many aspects of the curse, Genesis 3, 15 through 19
[00:47:08] that will be reversed.
[00:47:09] People will live to a great age,
[00:47:11] but death will still occur as before the flood,
[00:47:14] animals will revert to vegetarianism
[00:47:17] and will no longer fear man.
[00:47:19] Living waters will flow from beneath the sanctuary
[00:47:22] of the millennial temple,
[00:47:23] bringing life to the regions they water.
[00:47:28] It's interesting, because at the end of,
[00:47:31] is Isaiah 65 talks about that the lion will eat grass,
[00:47:36] right, like a cow, no more meat eating for the lion.
[00:47:40] Productivity, the earth will be fruitful
[00:47:42] and men will enjoy the fruit of their labors.
[00:47:45] Mount Zion, the region of Mount Zion
[00:47:47] will be lifted up from the mountain of the Lord's house.
[00:47:51] There's a lot to be said for that,
[00:47:53] but we're not going into that right now.
[00:47:55] Israel will finally inhabit the promised land permanently.
[00:47:58] She will serve as a focal point of the nations
[00:48:01] because Jesus will reign from Jerusalem.
[00:48:04] Of course, peace, all implements of war
[00:48:06] will be destroyed in favor of implements of productivity.
[00:48:10] Nations will no longer go to war or learn war.
[00:48:13] Disagreements between nations will be judged
[00:48:15] by Jesus Christ himself from Jerusalem.
[00:48:19] And there won't be any options.
[00:48:21] What he says would go, right?
[00:48:23] He's the king, it's not gonna be democracy.
[00:48:28] He's gonna have what, it's gonna be what he said.
[00:48:32] Worship the temple or stand in Jerusalem
[00:48:35] and the nations will go up to Jerusalem
[00:48:37] to the Feast of Tyranacals.
[00:48:38] So there will be a gathering where we all get together
[00:48:41] and go worship the Lord and be with him in Jerusalem.
[00:48:44] And it's, Bible talks about the nations who won't go
[00:48:47] will be judged with no reign.
[00:48:49] So there's gonna be some rebels still, think about that.
[00:48:51] Thousand years, Jesus ruling reigning on the earth,
[00:48:54] glorified saints running around
[00:48:56] being governors and mayors of cities.
[00:48:58] And you're still gonna have rebels, sinners.
[00:49:03] Of course, during this time period,
[00:49:05] the demonic realm, Satan will be bound in the abyss
[00:49:08] and the demons will be imprisoned
[00:49:09] in the regions of Babylon and Edom, possibly the abyss.
[00:49:14] The language, of course, the curse of Babel,
[00:49:16] the introduction of varied language will be reversed
[00:49:18] and all the earth will have one language again
[00:49:20] during the millennial reign.
[00:49:22] So that just gives you a little idea.
[00:49:24] Now, of course, the Bible goes on to say
[00:49:27] that at the end of the millennial reign,
[00:49:31] that Satan will be loosed and he will go forth
[00:49:36] and deceive the nations and there's gonna be
[00:49:38] this final rebellion, but fire comes down from God
[00:49:41] and destroys them.
[00:49:42] And so after that, that's when the great
[00:49:44] white throne judgment takes place.
[00:49:47] And the great white throne judgment is in Revelation 20
[00:49:50] when it says that those who died and the dead
[00:49:56] and those in hell will be lifted out of hell,
[00:49:59] brought before the judgment seat,
[00:50:01] the great white throne judgment of God.
[00:50:04] And it says they will be judged according to their works
[00:50:07] and their names are not found written
[00:50:10] in the Lamb's Book of Life.
[00:50:11] And so they are cast into the lake of fire.
[00:50:13] So they go from hell to the lake of fire at that time.
[00:50:18] It's kind of like hell has been your holding cell.
[00:50:24] You've been holding waiting for your trial,
[00:50:29] then you face your trial,
[00:50:30] then you face your final judgment, right?
[00:50:34] So that's what's gonna happen at the end of Revelation 20.
[00:50:37] And then we go into Revelation 21 and the Lord says,
[00:50:40] from that point, I will make a new heavens
[00:50:43] and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness
[00:50:47] and there will be no more death, no more tears,
[00:50:51] no more pain, no more rebels, no more sinners.
[00:50:56] There's gonna be a whole new age, a whole new era.
[00:51:00] We don't even understand that.
[00:51:02] I think that's when the Lord spoke through Paul and said
[00:51:06] that man cannot comprehend the things
[00:51:10] that God has prepared for those that love him.
[00:51:13] I mean, you think about, well,
[00:51:15] the millennial kingdom would be the pinnacle, right?
[00:51:18] Of life, because you would be able to be on the earth,
[00:51:22] a restored and fixed earth,
[00:51:28] an earth that's had a thousand years of peace and no war.
[00:51:32] That's been fully, everyone has enough to eat.
[00:51:35] Everything is wonderful.
[00:51:36] The earth is bearing its fruit, it's productive,
[00:51:40] it's peaceful, it's joyful.
[00:51:43] You would think that would be the pinnacle
[00:51:45] that we'd be able as the resurrected saints
[00:51:47] to be able to go back and forth,
[00:51:48] up into the third heaven and go into the new city
[00:51:52] of Jerusalem and do all these things,
[00:51:55] and you'd think that would be enough.
[00:51:56] But the Lord said, no, after that thousand years,
[00:51:59] after we deal with the rebels
[00:52:01] and the final judgment of the wicked
[00:52:04] who have been in hell for a thousand years,
[00:52:06] we deal with them thoroughly,
[00:52:10] I'm gonna do something brand new.
[00:52:13] Not get rid of the earth, not get rid of it,
[00:52:15] but I'm gonna make a whole new, think about this,
[00:52:17] new heavens and new earth.
[00:52:21] I think that what we got now is probably pretty good, right?
[00:52:26] It's pretty good.
[00:52:27] It's already, he did a pretty good job.
[00:52:30] But think about that.
[00:52:32] The Lord's like, no, got something,
[00:52:34] gonna make you new.
[00:52:35] It's like, you know, somebody,
[00:52:38] you got a car, you know, a nice car,
[00:52:41] and then the Lord says, no,
[00:52:43] I'm gonna buy you a brand new one.
[00:52:44] Let's just get a whole new deal here.
[00:52:47] That's just, you know, but it's just so far beyond that.
[00:52:51] It's hard to comprehend,
[00:52:52] but it has not entered into our heart or our minds
[00:52:56] what he's going to do.
[00:52:58] I mean, this right here, we have no more,
[00:53:01] no more revelation about this.
[00:53:04] He just said, the Lord said,
[00:53:07] I wanna make a new heavens and a new earth
[00:53:09] wherein dwelleth righteousness.
[00:53:11] And there's gonna be no sinner there,
[00:53:14] no sorcerer, no homemonger, no dog, no nothing.
[00:53:19] And there's gonna be no need for the sun or the moon
[00:53:24] because Jesus will be the light of that entire creation.
[00:53:29] However, he makes it all new.
[00:53:32] Man, can you imagine?
[00:53:33] Imagine we get to sit there and watch him do it, too.
[00:53:37] That's, to me, that's pretty awesome stuff.
[00:53:41] So anyway, I'm gonna close today.
[00:53:43] This is kind of our overview,
[00:53:46] the seven vials of wrath,
[00:53:50] a little bit on the rapture and when it happens,
[00:53:53] little overview of the millennial reign.
[00:53:56] Hopefully, the days ahead, I will do a more in-depth,
[00:54:01] I know people want me to,
[00:54:02] and so I'm gonna do a more in-depth teaching
[00:54:05] on the millennial reign and all that's gonna happen there.
[00:54:07] But just wanted to give you,
[00:54:09] as our students in our class here,
[00:54:12] an overview of that since eschatology is final things.
[00:54:17] Kind of important to cover the final few chapters
[00:54:21] of the book of Revelation.
[00:54:24] But anyway, let's pray and we will be dismissed.
[00:54:28] Father in heaven, we thank you today
[00:54:30] for all your blessings.
[00:54:32] We thank you today for being with us, for your protection.
[00:54:35] We thank you for giving us your word.
[00:54:38] There's so much in it, Lord.
[00:54:39] We still have yet to learn,
[00:54:42] to fully comprehend or understand.
[00:54:44] And so we continue to pray, God,
[00:54:46] for the spirit of wisdom and revelation
[00:54:49] and the knowledge of you and knowledge of your word,
[00:54:52] that your Holy Spirit will just enlighten our minds,
[00:54:55] our hearts, our spirits as we read, as we study,
[00:54:58] as we hear the word taught and preached,
[00:54:59] that Lord, you'll truly just bring forth pure truth
[00:55:04] for your people and Lord,
[00:55:06] we are grateful to know that there is a great,
[00:55:09] great and wonderful future ahead of us
[00:55:13] after the Tribulation period,
[00:55:15] that there's an eternity
[00:55:18] that you're going to do amazing and wonderful things.
[00:55:21] And just being with you is going to be an amazing thing.
[00:55:26] Help us through all these difficulties
[00:55:29] that we go through here,
[00:55:31] the Tribulations and trials and persecution
[00:55:33] and all the stuff that we go through,
[00:55:36] the battles we face here.
[00:55:38] Help us overcome them so that we can make it there
[00:55:42] to be with you and to see all
[00:55:44] that you're going to do for your people.
[00:55:47] And I ask you to bless these students
[00:55:49] as they prepare for their exams,
[00:55:53] bless them and fill them with this truth, your word
[00:55:58] and enable them to share it with others.
[00:56:01] And we pray all this in Jesus name, Amen.
[00:56:05] All right, class dismissed.
[00:56:08] Thank you.
