Life & Times of Jesus #15 — Jack Hibbs

Why don't you grab your Bibles this morning and turn with me in the scriptures if you would to Matthew chapter 24. Matthew chapter 24 and this morning we are continuing on in our series. This is part 15 by the way, we've got one more left.

That's next week. Well, we'll be done but part 15 of our series The life and times of Jesus Christ and this morning we're looking at Christ and the second coming. Christ and the second coming and our theme verse as you can see is Colossians chapter 2 verse 9.

Very very important verse a verse that all of you now have memorized at Calvary Chapel, haven't you? You're not you're not sick of seeing the verse. You're not tired of seeing the verse because we would never want to be or sense or feel that way of the Bible whatsoever.

But the fact of the matter is that this is a verse that we have been in for the last 15 Weeks together and listen to it and look at it closely. It's this for in Christ. That's Jesus Whose birthday we just celebrated yesterday.

This Jesus all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in bodily form. The Bible makes it very clear that yesterday's celebration of Christmas is in fact the the very First coming of God to this earth in a physical form and that is there being born in Bethlehem.

Brought into the world God come in human flesh. Now all of you who are note-takers at the top of your page where it says title. You know, you got your little notebooks they're pre-printed in front of you where it says title you can write down there Christ in the second coming and It this is regarding the end time events of our age.

It's called eschatology and Bible science. Very very big word, which simply means that God tells the future in advance. It's history in advance his Story he tells in advance the meaning of it or the definition of it.

I should say is eschatology or Prophecy this is the area of the Bible and this is the Discrepancy of the cult. They can mimic a lot of things cults can they can mimic healings they can mimic miracles.

They can do a lot of things. But what they cannot do is correctly foretell the future. The Bible does it perfectly and it's by understanding Prophecy that you will be able to discern what is right and what is wrong when it comes into your ears.

I Don't know why I do not know why but there are a lot of Christians who shy away from the topics that we've just Began to cover these last couple weeks in this closing part of the series we looked at the rapture of the church then last week we looked at the tribulation period and This morning Christ and his second coming and then next week we'll end up with a great chronological timeline and we'll use that to usher us into the understanding of The millennial reign of Jesus Christ and when that will take place.

Is it next week? We'll tell you next Sunday Very very important period of time in which you and I live in. Let's go to the scripture and look this morning shall we Concerning Christ and his second coming the first thing that we want to notice this morning is that it's compared to his first Coming the second coming must be compared to his first coming.

How so Matthew chapter 24 beginning at verse 1 then Jesus it says went out and departed from the temple and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple and Jesus said to them Do you not see all of these things assuredly?

I say to you not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down. Now as he sat on the Mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately saying listen, there's three things they ask tell us when will these things be and What will be the sign of your coming and number three and the end of the age?

And Jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no one deceives you for many will come in my name saying I am the Christ and will deceive many and You will hear of wars and rumors of wars see that you're not trouble for all these things must come to pass.

But the end is not yet. For nation listen ethnos will rise against ethnos. That's ethnic groups will rise against ethnic groups and political realms will rise against political realms. There will be famines pestilence Earthquakes and diverse places and these are all the beginning of sorrows.

Then there will then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will be hated by all ethnos nations. For my name's sake. And then many will be offended and will betray one another and will hate one another.

Then many false prophets will arise and Deceive many and because of lawlessness abounding the love of many will grow cold but he who endures into the end the same shall be saved and This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all of the world as a witness to the nations and then the end will come.

Therefore listen, here's a key. When you see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the Prophet Standing in the holy place whoever reads let him understand that means you had better read. This is so cool.

Jesus here is saying you had better read the book of Daniel. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on his housetop come down and take nothing out of his house and Let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes but woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse babies in those days and Pray that your flight may not be in winter on the Sabbath.

For then there will be great Tribulation such as not been since the beginning of the world nor until this time nor ever shall be. And unless those days are Shortened no flesh would be saved but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Jesus is talking about the events and his coming. We saw last week the horrific Predictions of the Great Tribulation period. We saw that the first three and a half years of a listen seven year Contract or peace accord peace agreement.

We saw that the one that we've labeled or the Bible calls and we call the Antichrist Will be on the global scene and he will deal with the nation Israel says the Bible and he will speak peace to the nation Israel.

He will somehow orchestrate a seven-year the Bible says contract of peace and When he signs and when they sign the seven-year peace treaty The tribulation begins. Remember this Bible students what starts the tribulation period not an earthquake not some sign in the heavens.

The fact of the matter is that the tribulation period begins with the Signing of a peace treaty and the first three and a half years of that seven-year period of time will be a time of great deception.

Through do you remember two key things? Prosperity and what peace. The Antichrist the Imitator if I can put it that way of Christ will be One who offers peace and prosperity. Well after that At the close the latter three and a half years of the tribulation period the Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ will return.

If you were here last week We showed you in the closing moments of the message the valley of harm again on the that Valley of Megiddo remember in that scene as we panned the camera to the Southeasterly section we looked toward the areas of Moab.

Believe it or not. The Bible says specifically that Jesus. Did you know this that it gives us in his second coming? It gives us his approach pattern. Not only into the earth But because the Bible says every eye will see him and all those who dwell upon the earth will mourn because of his coming.

But it says that he will arrive coming out of the area of Edom from Basra. That is and Jesus said as the lightning comes what from the east and shines into the west. So shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

He meant that literally he will be coming according to Isaiah chapter 61 62 63 when Jesus comes in the great second coming the world will be watching and He comes out of the area. If you draw a line some of you can even sneak right now to the back of your Bible where it's got the Maps and if I would add time, I would have assembled a map.

The Bible gives us his second coming approach pattern. Into Israel he's going to be coming from the area of Kuwait that region Basra and the of the Old Testament time he will be coming from the east toward the west and his foot will just touch the Mount of Olives and That Mount is gonna split open he's gonna go through that Eastern Gate that we saw in that great Second coming of his and he will establish his kingdom, but his robe says the Bible will be splattered Regarding or in the from the blood of his enemies.

He will have put an end to the battle of Armageddon the second coming of Jesus Christ. My friend don't make a mistake and comparing the rapture of the church and the second coming as one event. They were they are at least seven years apart from one another.

One is very private. No one will know except the believer. The other is very public the believers at that time and The world will know of his coming. One you must be ready for because there's no signs.

There's no indicators. The other has hundreds of prophetic indicators and warnings and signs. One says to wait for Christ. The other one says that you'll see the Antichrist appear first. One says that you must live for your faith the rapture.

The other one says what you must Die for your faith by persecution. We are studying this morning The events of the second coming it is my prayer That none of us in this room Experienced the events of the second coming except of the fact that we're coming with Jesus himself.

Do you hear I'm saying? I Pray for you that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will escape the tribulation Period as God has promised Via or through what is called the rapture of the church?

But let's go back to our note-taking. The second coming is compared to his first coming how so well look in Matthew 24. Just look at the verses preceding The chapter. Why did the disciples say to him?

When will these things be what a strange thing? Why do they take Jesus out to show him the buildings of the temple? Didn't he know the buildings of the temple? Of course didn't he grow up in that area?

Sure. Why were the disciples saying Jesus? We want to show you the things of the temple. They were a little unnerved. I'll tell you why look in Matthew chapter 23 verse 37. Let's just stay on the screen regarding our notes.

But Matthew 23 37 says Oh Jerusalem Jerusalem. The one who kills the prophets and stones those who were sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.

But what does it say you were not willing and behold your house what house everybody? The temple. The temple your temple has left you desolate. For I say to you you shall see me no more till you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

That's why the disciples said hey Lord. We want to show you the temple. Have you ever seen a little child when they're Hurt or offended or busted or whatever they try to make an immediate little amends.

Have you ever seen them try to be real politically correct about some blunder that they've made? Did you do this? Hi, daddy. I love you. I know you love me sweetheart, but did you break the glass I? Brought in your paper.

Yeah, honey, that's good. That's not what we're talking about. Did you do that? I love you. You ever seen a child do that. You've done that. I've done that Jesus says I'm telling you because of the rejection of Israel as me as Messiah in my first coming your house will be left to you desolate and You will not see me again until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord?

The disciples try to respond because they thought he was going to establish all That he's going to do in the second coming that is establishes political reign. They thought they could just kind of oh look at the temple.

Isn't it wonderful and Jesus is going to go on in other passages to tell them I I say to you not one stone shall be left upon another. It is it's all gonna be torn down. They shocked them. It shocked them.

Listen the first coming and the second coming are both to the nation Israel and there are Jewish and their context how so. Mark it down by a literal physical arrival. The rapture of the church is not a physical arrival.

It is an appearance in the atmosphere. First Thessalonians chapter 4 verses 13 through 18 is and in your note-taking don't confuse it. That's the rapture but the second coming is a physical arrival to the earth just as it was at his first coming a physical arrival.

Acts chapter 1 verse 9. Now when he had spoken these things that is Jesus on the Mount of Olives. They watched him and he was taken up from them and received up into a cloud out of their sight and while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up behold two men stood by them in white apparel and Said to them men of Galilee.

Why do you stand ye here gazing up in heaven this same Jesus who was taken up into heaven? Same Jesus Who was taken up into heaven will come again in like manner as you've seen him go up into heaven. What does that mean the same Jesus that you've seen in physical form?

Physically arise from Israel from this Mount the Mount of Olives. His same second coming will be to the Mount of Olives again. Just as you've bodily seen him leave he will bodily return. This is so Jewish in my car.

I have a little yarmulke, you know, I think it's called a Coupa keepa. We should all have them on right now. I should have just thrown like frisbees out to you. Why. Because the second coming is so Jewish?

From Revelation chapter 4 verse 2 all the way to the end of Revelation chapter 19 is all Jewish in context. You'll never understand the book of Revelation until you've read all of the Old Testament. That's why a lot of people say well, I kind of stay out of that book.

You know why you stay out of that book? First of all, you're ripping yourself off it's the only book of the Bible that is the book of Revelation that says I will bless all those who read this book and bless anybody Who listens to its reading?

So get blessed read the book of Revelation. Secondly understand the Old Testament Via the book of Revelation. It's very Jewish. Jesus says you won't See me again. Until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord a true physical return of Christ.

Revelation chapter 1 verse 7. Am I yelling? I'm excited. These things excite me really a lot. So I Forgive me if I'm yelling behold Revelation 1 7 he is coming with clouds. Doesn't mean he's coming on a cloudy day.

I mean he's coming in glory and Every eye will see him. Is that true concerning the rapture? No. Even they who pierced him Israel and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Why? You see the raptures the blessed hope the second coming is an awful dreadful event.

Even so amen I am the Alpha and the Omega the beginning in the end saith the Lord who is who was who is to come? The Almighty who is the Almighty the one who's coming on that dreadful and tremendous day.

When the tribes of the earth will mourn Christian you don't need to be afraid of the events of the second coming. In fact by the end of this message, you're gonna see that you're very involved in The second coming itself, but you'll be coming out of heaven with Christ.

Now maybe those you've shared the gospel with who? Have yet to receive Jesus Christ, or maybe they'll never receive Jesus Christ. God knows. They'll see these great horrific events. I Believe these things are going to unfold in our lifetime.

I believe the world is prepared now for the advent of this Deceiver that brings peace to the world and Who ushers in these events? God does upon his head and judgment in Jude chapter 1 verse 14. The scripture says behold the Lord comes with 10 ,000 of his saints.

The word actually in Greek is thousands upon thousands of his saints in a physical arrival to the earth physically. In Jude chapter 1 verse 14 you can circle that verse or write it down and its corresponding passage is Revelation chapter 19 you can read that later.

The second thing that we see this morning. So very important is that his first coming is compared to a second by a marked physical arrival secondly at a time of great unbelief. Now listen to this. It will be a time of great unbelief.

What kind of unbelief. Well, first of all, the book the tribulation period will be in full swing and According to the Bible, there's going to be great religious activity great religious fervor more than ever around the world.

Did you know that it's going to be very very religious time? But does religion save you? He will come at a time of great unbelief in the world. The Bible speaks about it as being the great apostasy or in Greek apostasy a a Great departure from the true faith, but listen, it's a departure from the true faith.

That is they've haven't they haven't presented before them. They don't lose their salvation. They never had it. They know of it, but they don't receive it. They turn away from it and they don't go into evolutionary theory.

What they do is they go into some other religious offer and You know who at one of those offers will be the Antichrist will declare himself to be God and Matthew chapter 24 verse 15. We read it a moment ago when you see the Abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet.

What is that all about? It's when second are you writing this down? It's in 2nd Thessalonians chapters 2 3 4 when it says that the Antichrist stands in the temple in Jerusalem and declares himself to be God that corresponds with Matthew 24 15 and with Daniel's abomination of desolation very important.

Religion will be running high. But not for Jesus Christ. Religion will be popular then it will be cool to be of the world church. I don't want to get into this and I don't want to derail you but I don't know if any of you stayed up.

I got so I was so dedicated to go into bed early on Friday night. I Don't know if you were here was anybody were you here Friday night? That was one of the most awesome services. I've ever seen the music this guy tell you next year.

I don't know how they can outdo themselves. The music was awesome. The worship was fantastic and We saw so many people come to the Lord that night. Amazing Amazing. Wonderfully packed house people in the hallway people turning around going home couldn't get in amazing time.

I Went home. I was so excited. We had some friends over great great great time and I'm thinking alright, I'm gonna go to bed and I don't know why but being the news addict that I am I turned on a little bit of news just to get my fix before I go to Sleep and I went to channel 4 and they had from Rome in the Vatican.

Maybe you saw it. I stayed up to 2 o 'clock watching this thing. They had. They showed John Paul Pope John Paul opened the door the Holy Door and Get the transcripts. I am kidding you not. Cardinal Foley read and narrated the program and he said that all those Who passed through this door at the beginning of this new millennium the jubilation?

Really the jubilation who says? Jubilation that's God's talk. Jubilation that's regarding the nation. Israel doesn't have anything to do with anybody else in the world. Are you ready for this? Channel 4 NBC News all those who pass through the door during the millennium of 2000 will receive forgiveness of all their sins and eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Now listen forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ is gospel doctrine. Passing through a door that gives it is not Doctrine, oh, I'm yelling again. I'm so excited. I'm sorry. Listen, this is so important.

This is so important. You can't if that were true. Let's get our credit cards out and get to Rome now, man. Let's get through that door. I want to go to heaven. So let's get through that door. Jesus is I'm the door.

He said I'm the way I'm the truth. I'm the life no man comes to the father. But through me I have told you this for the space of three years or more. That concerning from 1998 on we've talked about how in 1998 the jubilation was for Israel on May 14th.

50 years every 50 years. There's a jubilation read your Old Testament. If you don't know what I'm talking about debts are supposed to be canceled if you were up with me at 2 o 'clock Saturday morning watching this broadcast.

Did you hear what was read by Cardinal Foley? That the Pope is calling upon the nations who have other nations that owe them money to cancel all their debts against them and to start new. Forgive them of their financial debt and Start fresh if you know anything about the book of Revelation that causes a little bit of hair to stand up on the back of your neck.

Interesting time a time of great unbelief people religious absolutely more than ever but unbelief in the personal relationship. With Jesus Christ all the pomp all the glory all of the liturgical signs, but no Jesus.

Having the power the appearance of the power but denying the power thereof from such Paul the Apostle said turn away from. Just like it was at his first coming many religious people. But they missed Jesus's coming altogether a time of great unbelief.

Thirdly his coming was required reading. Did you know that? Jesus expected them to know the day of his visitation in Luke's gospel. Jesus is to Jerusalem. Look, you did not recognize the day of your come of your visitation.

Oh Jerusalem. Jerusalem, he says in Matthew 23 37. Jesus expected Israel to know the day of his first coming. Daniel chapter 9 verses 24 to verses 24 to 27 Teaches that Israel was to know the day of the first coming of Messiah to the temple.

It was a I'll give you a little bit of a help. 173 ,000 880 days. From Daniel 9 24 to 27 from the commandment that was given to Nehemiah. Was on March 14th 445 BC if you do all the math based upon a Babylonian calendar 360 day year.

That's how all Bible prophecy is based on from Genesis to Revelation 360 day year not 65 and you take into account all of the mathematics as Sir, Isaac Newton figured it out and sir, Robert Anderson. They came to the understanding.

Which has panned out to be historical truth that the day Jesus Christ on Palm Sunday. Remember when they said Hosanna Hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord? Did you know it was a hundred and seventy three thousand eight hundred and eighty days from March 14th 445.

That Jesus entered into the city and he says Oh Jerusalem. You didn't recognize me on the day of your visitation. But Jack they said Hosanna, yeah and the same people three days later said let's kill him.

I hang on your seats here people read Daniel 9 and read Daniel chapter 12 in Daniel chapter 12 verses 10 through 12 and don't misquote me. Nobody knows the day of the hour that's true regarding the event I'm gonna tell you about in a second here.

Nobody knows the day of the hour concern in the rapture. Nobody knows the day of the hour concern in the second coming yet. No, man will ever know the day of the hour concerning the rapture but concerning the day of the second coming Daniel chapter 12 tells you and Tells Israel the day of the second coming.

It will be 1290 days after Matthew 24 15 it will be 1290 days after the abomination of desolation. Yeah, you heard me, right? Israel was supposed to know the day of his first coming and they missed it.

It was printed in Scripture they missed it. Israel supposed to know the day of his second coming and Let's hope and I'm certain according to Scripture some will because they'll petition him to come back at this moment on December 26 1999 no man knows the day or the hour.

That's true for the rapture and it's true for the second coming. Why the peace treaty hasn't been signed yet. Neither has the Antichrist surfaced. But read Daniel chapter 12 later if you would his coming was required reading.

The second thing that we see this morning in our studies this it will be an undeniable event the second coming of Christ acts chapter 2 verse 17. Acts 2 17 says and it shall come to pass and the last days says God that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh your sons and your daughters.

Shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams and on my maid servants. Men servants and maidservants. I will pour out my spirit in those days. Hang on everyone to this.

This is very important and they shall prophesy. Listen that Peter gave at the birth of the church. That's the sermon that Peter was giving 2 ,000 years ago that has continued on. But the final great outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the nation Israel.

It's my people not only the believers, but the context is Israel during the tribulation period. Those Jews who come to faith in Jesus Christ and the Gentiles who come to faith in Christ God will pour his spirit out upon them in a way like we've never seen before as Dynamic as it was in the day of Pentecost even greater.

Then he says I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath. Blood and fire and vapor of smoke and the Sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood. Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.

That's the second coming. Undeniable events will take place on the earth. People will physically see it. Yeah, how many people have you and I talked to and won't fit you if God would you show me a sign?

We'll give them Acts chapter 2. You want a sign. First of all, I'm gonna be here one day and the next day. I'm not gonna be here. That'd be a sign. Secondly. The earth is going to be so devastated that the sky the atmosphere is going to be somehow polluted to the point maybe through fire or through earthquake or whatever that the Moon and the Sun are gonna be darkened and appear to be as blood.

Did any of you were interview this week near any fires and see the Sun at noonday how it looked like a bloody ball. The Sun and the moon interesting undeniable events. Let's mark some of these down. Via geological events.

Yep geological events. Matthew chapter 24 we read it verses 1 On but look with me Matthew 24 look at verse Oh 22 and unless those days are short. No flesh would be saved. No flesh would no flesh would remain alive.

Matthew 24 22 it's a time of incredible upheaval. Jesus says in that earlier portion of that chapter you're gonna hear about wars and rumors of wars. Do you right now even hear about wars and rumors of wars?

We might say well Jack that's always gone on. That's true. It has but on a global scale. All this is global. He says that. Don't get upset because this is not yet the end still some things must happen.

Ethnic groups will rise against ethnic groups. Nation in your Bible in English. It's nation versus nation sounds like u .s. Versus Russia, doesn't it? That doesn't appear until kingdom versus kingdom politic versus politic ethnos versus ethnos.

Ethnic groups will become more hostile toward different ethnic groups. Is that not happening worldwide? It's increasing isn't it? Just as Jesus said man I hope you're an unbeliever in here today and you're thinking I better become a believer because I'm watching this stuff take place.

Famines pestilence. Famines. Famines most famines in the world today are political famines. Did you know that? You know one of the great problems we have right now and dropping food into the Sudan to stop the famine is That the Muslim terrorists are killing.

They let the they let the food drop and let the Christians run to the food. Then they machine gun them down and take the food. I saw this recently as maybe you did on the KCT channel 28 special on a program entitled frontline.

Where there's a duchess in England who flies right in to these hostile areas and delivers the food and maybe you've seen her she's very very very Criticized right now because you know what she's doing the only way she's been able to get through to these Muslim terrorists from killing your Christian brothers and sisters.

She's bringing tens of thousands of dollars and British pounds into the country into Sudan. Did you see this and she's buying them? She's buying the Christians. She sits down with the terrorist and she says how much for him.

20 bucks. Here's 20 bucks. How much for her. 50 bucks? No, no 35. They showed this on TV. She's buying them and taking them away and All the critics are saying well, she's only promoting the problem. Seems like Jesus came down and bought me on a cross 2 ,000 years ago.

This woman is a wonderful Christian woman and I forget her name, but she's a duchess in England. Geological effects. The earth is going to be in an upheaval. Isaiah 24 19 says the earth shall be broken up and it will split asunder.

The earth shall thoroughly be shaken at its core. The earth will reel to and fro like a drunk man. It sways like a hut in the wind. So heavy is it of its guilt and of its rebellion that it will fall never to be risen again in that great day of the Lord when he punishes the powers of the heavens above and on the kings of the earth beneath.

Isaiah 24 19 to 21. Ezekiel 38 verse 20. The fish of the sea the birds of the air and the beast of the field. Every creature that moves along the ground and all the people upon the face of the earth Will tremble at my presence.

The mountains will be overturned and the cliffs will crumble and Every wall will fall to the ground. And in the book of Revelation It says during the tribulation period near its end. God will send a great earthquake.

That will be felt in all of the earth. It ain't gonna be Our normal 7 .0 s that we like just oh, well, we had a 7 .0. Who knows what it's gonna be, but the whole earth's gonna feel it. Is this scaring you?

I Hope it doesn't scare you to scare you, but I hope it scares the hell out of you and Causes you to run and grab the feet of Jesus and say it's heaven. I want Jesus it's you I want. Because without Jesus It's even hell before you get there in the world today.

Secondly, not only Geological events, but also celestial events. Luke 21 25 and there will be signs in the Sun this is going to be weird. And in the moon and in the stars and On earth the distress of nations.

The word distress of nations in the Greek means Having no way out of a dilemma. They have no way out. The sea and the waves will roar. Isn't that interesting. 1999 it's not even over yet. And the ocean and the storms that have come from the ocean have been the worst recorded in human history in 1999.

The only other year that came close was 1998. Men's hearts shall fail them for fear. Because of the expectations of the things that are coming to the earth. Wow. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken and they will see then the Son of God coming with clouds.

With power and great glory not gray glory, even though gray glory will be there but great glory. We're coming with them. Isaiah 24 verse 23 Says the moon will be ashamed and abashed for the Lord Almighty will reign in Zion and from Jerusalem in Glory the moon will have to shy away.

I love that. I Intentionally put that verse in you didn't want to know why. Remember we just had the brightest moon in 133 years. He's up there in his glory this past week. Did you see him shining? The brightest moon in 133 years was Wednesday night.

Yeah Wednesday night. And the moon's gonna be ashamed at his coming. Oh boy. I'm nothing compared to his glory. I Love that. Celestial events. The Bible says that the stars are going to flee or appear to the earth dwellers to be fleeing from his presence.

Geological events celestial events. There'll be undeniable events even in the spiritual realm both for good and bad. There'll be great great spiritual activity on the earth. John says there'll be so many people saved during the tribulation period that no man can even count them.

The Holy Spirit's gonna be poured out on the earth not taken away. I don't know why some people think I don't know where they Got this idea. That when the rapture takes place the Holy Spirit leaves Bibles to say that the Bible says he who hinders will do so until he is taken what out of the way.

Then shall that Antichrist be revealed the Holy Spirit is right now playing the position of a big defensive tackle. He's there. I Should say offensive tackle he's holding back the onslaught of the front line.

When the church is raptured, let's let's in our little minds here my little mind. I have to see it this way. Let's say the quarterback runs back and the line is doing all the work and the quarterback jumps into the grandstands.

The line turns around and sees that he's not there any longer turns sideways turns those five and a half foot wide shoulders sideways and Let's evil run through. Let's that Attacking army run through the Holy Spirit is holding down evil.

The church is in the earth when the church gets raptured the Holy Spirit steps aside and let and there you have The unveiling of the Antichrist and all the evils of the tribulation period. But also in the negative side.

There'll be great demonic activity great demonic events demons. Invisible, maybe some visible don't know. But they will deceive people and trick them. They'll be preachers and they'll be teachers and they'll be evangelists and they'll be demonized and Jesus says they'll perform such great powers that if are you with me?

Are you listening if it were possible? It would deceive even the very elect. That is those that are those that have gotten saved during the tribulation period. But it's not possible. He says if it were possible that means it's impossible.

Spiritual events. And Thirdly finally final point his second coming is because for many reasons His throne must be established. Did you know that yesterday? We if Jesus doesn't come back and set up a stone in Jerusalem.

We have Absolutely done nothing yesterday, but got a bunch of gifts for each other and spent money. There is no meaning to Christmas if Jesus doesn't come back and sit on the throne of David. He has to to be God to be Messiah.
