Summary
Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.
I would not have you to be ignorant
- The wrap-up of the series opens with the rapture text read entire: the Lord descends with a shout, the dead in Christ rise first, and those alive and remaining are caught up together to meet him in the air.
- Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; at the last trump the dead are raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
- As it is appointed unto men once to die, Christ was once offered and shall appear the second time without sin unto salvation to them that look for him; our conversation is in heaven, from whence also we look for the Savior.
- A crown of righteousness is laid up for all them that love his appearing; we wait for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing — and every one of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54; Hebrews 9:28; Philippians 3:20; 2 Timothy 4:8; Titus 2:13; 2 Corinthians 5:10
The marriage supper, and the wrath that follows
- The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready; blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
- The beast rises and the world wonders after him; he opens his mouth in blasphemy and makes war with the saints — while the Lord's own hold his promise: power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.
- Whoever worships the beast and his image and receives his mark drinks of the wine of the wrath of God, and is tormented with fire and brimstone.
- The man of sin works with all power and signs and lying wonders; because they received not the love of the truth, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
Scriptures: Revelation 19:7-9; Revelation 13:4-18; Luke 10:19; Revelation 14:9-11; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
Gathered to Armageddon
- Unclean spirits like frogs gather the kings of the earth to the battle of that great day of God Almighty, into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
- Ten kings give their power and strength to the beast; these make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings.
- Heaven opens, and the rider on the white horse — his name called the Word of God — judges and makes war in righteousness; out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations.
- The beast and the false prophet are taken, and both are cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Scriptures: Revelation 16:13-16; Revelation 17:12-14; Revelation 19:11-16; Revelation 19:20
A thousand years, and then a new heaven and a new earth
- Enoch prophesied: behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints to execute judgment upon all; and Zechariah's day of the Lord ends with the Lord king over all the earth — in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
- An angel binds the dragon, that old serpent, for a thousand years, that he should deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are fulfilled.
- In the reign, nations beat their swords into plowshares; the wolf dwells with the lamb, and the earth is full of the knowledge of the Lord; the voice of weeping is heard no more in Jerusalem — and the saints themselves shall judge the world.
- When the thousand years expire, Satan is loosed, gathers Gog and Magog to battle, and is cast into the lake of fire where the beast and the false prophet are.
- Then the great white throne: earth and heaven flee from his face, the dead stand before God, the books are opened, and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
- Last, the new heaven and the new earth and the holy city coming down from God — God wipes away all tears: no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.
- The service closes in an altar call and baptisms in Jesus' name that he administers; his own count at the close: twelve had received the gift of the Holy Ghost that day, and at least five had been baptized in the water.

Paul said but I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep that you saw or not even as others which have no hope or if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him for this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain and to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and with the voice of the Archangel and with the Trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord wherefore Comfort one another with these words precious God Of Heaven tonight I stand in your presence and I stand before this great body of people Lord Jesus tonight we are not here for a social Gathering God and we are just not a group of people Lord that have come to sing a few songs about the sweet Mind by God we believe that you've called us to this hour we believe Lord we have a work to do to win this city We Believe Lord that your coming is soon and for that God we want to be ready in relationship Lord with you for the next few moments anoint this servant God that I could be an oracle that I could speak God through the word and then I can bring this word to our minds in Jesus mighty name we pray amen and amen give him a hand to praise before you seated tonight I just read to you this evening the scripture from first Thessalonians where Paul is describing about the Rapture of the church the catching up the word catching up or caught up there in verse 17 is describing the event that will happen that is the next event on God's timetable prophecy table to happen that those that have died in the faith those that have died in the faith in the church that though they are their bodies are asleep in the ground to be absent from the body spiritually is to be present with the Lord if you're the church so Paul tells us that that trumpet sounding in the dead in Christ would rise first then we which are alive and notice he put the word in there and remained it's going to take more than just me being alive when the Rapture happens I've got to be alive and remain he closed it in verse 18 by saying this ought to be comforting words to the church that the coming of the Lord should be a message that is comforting that Comforts The Church again in First Corinthians chapter 15 verse 50. the church was had some kind of a debate going on about resurrection and life after death and Paul in First Corinthians 15 and 50. Paul simply says now this I say Brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God neither doth corruption inherit incorruption behold I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last Trump for the trumpet shall sound and the dead and cry the dead shall be raised incorruptable and we shall be changed for this corruptable shalt must put on incorruption and this Mortal must put on immortality so when this corruptable shall have put on incorruption and this Mortal shall put them I put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in Victory the truth of the matter is tonight all men are going to live eternally somewhere all men are going to live eternally somewhere but by the help of God and the grace of God may I use every ounce of strength with every breath that I breathe to tell people about the only exit out of hell and that is obeying the Gospel of Jesus Christ and being the bride of Christ is the only exit to us tonight churches we've gathered here we have one main thing in our mind the soon coming of Jesus Christ Roman or excuse me Hebrews chapter 9 and verse 28 see the model of the church so Christ once offered so Christ was once offered to Bear the sins of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation I can't answer for everybody but I'm looking for him tonight I'm expecting him tonight the more vile and wicked and out of control this world is getting the more it's causing me to know it's late in the hour and we need to be looking for him can you give him some praise right now unto them that look for him Philippians chapter 3 and verse 20 for our conversation our manner of Lifestyle how we live our entertainment what we find to be satisfying for our conversation is in heaven from whence also we look for the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ notice with me again the church in this last hour has her gaze her expectancy upon the church again in second Timothy chapter 4 verse 8 you're going to hear a lot of scripture tonight because it matters little what I say about the coming of the Lord but it all matters what the word says about his coming second Timothy 4 and 8 Paul says henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day and not to me only but unto all them that love his appearing I want you to know tonight if you're a believe you're in the church and you're not thinking about the Rapture you have become preoccupied with things that don't matter don't miss Heaven the Rapture over the temporal the things we're trying to keep are going to burn up one day you got to get your mind on what matters and what matters is Jesus is coming soon are you in the relationship to go again in Titus Chapter 2 and verse 13. Paul again writes and says looking for that blessed hope and the Glorious appearing of the great God In Our Savior Jesus Christ brothers and sisters tonight the next event on God's time calendar is the blowing of a trumpet and the snatching up by his mighty power the snatching up from this Earth by his mighty power first it will be those that have died in Jesus Christ they're going to come out of the grave and they're going to be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye we sow them in corruption every casket that's ever laid before this church of children of God were sown in corruption but because they had a relationship with God before they died it's going to be raised Incorruptible it's going to be raised in the Glorious in a glorious body those that are alive and remained are going to in a moment in the twinkling of an eye something is going to happen to them quickly and they're going to be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye this Mortal body is going to slip into a body that is Immortal this corruptable body is going to slip into a body that is Incorruptible gravity will lose its hold or I might just add and say the Glorious body may not be subject to the law of gravity but we're going to be caught up from this Earth to meet the Lord in the air we sing songs about that it's going to happen and again give God a hand of Praise right now if you would understand two things when Jesus comes for his church only those that look for him are going to see him only those that look for him are going to see him the vast majority of the world is not going to see him on that day because they are not looking for him but when it comes tribulation and I'll get to that just a little later in the message when it comes to tribulation the Bible says that every eye shall see him and every the every eye shall see him and they that pierced him crucified him will see him so when we are caught up into heaven what's going to happen next we're going the church you and I are going to the Judgment seat of Christ we're going to the Judgment seat of Christ of which we're going to have rewards that will be given to us we're going to have things that are given to us for our service down here upon this Earth Second Corinthians 5 and 10 Paul says for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ do not mistake the Judgment seat of Christ for the great white Throne judgment two separate things that are going to have happen the Judgment seat of Christ is only for the church his body his bride we all must appear before the Judgment seat of Christ that everyone may receive the things done in his body according to that he hath done whether good or bad don't stumble at that tonight will you say we meant good or bad exactly right there are going to be some souls in heaven that they did not put all their time and energy into heaven and the Bible even talks about 34 64 100 fold but there will be those there and I'm going to tell you something friend you're not going to covet somebody's Crown you're just going to be thankful you got there you're not going to look over and say hey somebody got more than I got you're just going to be thankful that you're in that place called heaven but there are going to be the Judgment seat the Judgment seat of Christ immediately after the Judgment seat of Christ a great heavenly banquet hall will be spread it is for the marriage supper of the Lamb just like we have weddings here and after the wedding we have reception after the wedding has taken place then the reception then the meal the same thing happens in heaven Revelation 19 and verse 7 let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him for the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife that's us hath made herself ready she has made herself ready to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen clean and white for the fine linen is the righteousness of the Saints and he saith unto me right blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper the lamb and he saith unto me these are the true sayings of God I'm headed I want you to be headed to the marriage supper of the Lamb I don't want you to concentrate on enduring I want you to concentrate on relationship right now the church needs to concentrate on one thing I know you you're my child we had interaction on this Earth You prayed to me you worshiped me you made decisions I was in you and you was in me I am not I am not getting ready for endurance I'm getting ready for a relationship I want to hear him say Well done my good and thankful servant do you know him tonight do you know him tonight but wait a minute what's going on on the Earth when the church is caught up to heaven it will then click the time for the manifestation and the reign of the Antichrist simple to defer to describe the Antichrist what does that mean against Christ we are seeing a culture that is anti-christ we're seeing a culture that is anti-god anti-morals anti-word we're seeing a culture that no wonder Peter said save yourself from this uncored generation and I want to preach tonight Church save yourself from this anti-christ generation save yourself from it the Bible said in Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 4. and they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the Beast and they worshiped the Beast saying who is like unto the Beast who is able to make war with him and that was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies power was given unto him to continue 42 months three and a half years and he opened his mouth and blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name his Tabernacle and them that is in heaven and them that dwell in heaven that's Earth that's us the church them that dwell in heaven it was given unto him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them and power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and Nations wait a minute Pastor you said we weren't here and here it's talking about he made war with the Saints that's right follow it closely it was given unto him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them we are referring to the tribute relation Saints we're not going to be or at least I'm going to do all I can to get you in a relationship with him so that you you don't go through tribulation you don't go through that horrible time such has never been the tribulation Saints are going to be overcome by the Antichrist here I'm not I'm not the tribulation Saint here's where I fall I fall in Luke chapter 10 verse 19. behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you Satan cannot overcome the church the bride he may overcome tribulation Saints but he's not going to overcome the church Jesus said Upon This Rock I will build my come on praise him right now that you're in the church Hallelujah the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail let me continue on in Revelation 13 verse 7 the tribulation Saints will be overcome and power was given him over all kindreds and tongues a nation the Antichrist verse 8 and all that dwell upon the Earth shall worship Him whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world if any man happen to you or let him hear he that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity he get killed with a sword must be killed with a sword here is the patience and the faith of the Saints tribulation Saints they make it by knowing this he's ruling today but he won't be ruling tomorrow he's killing him with the sword today but the Bible is prophesied of the Doom of the Antichrist he says he says in verse 11 I beheld another Beast coming out of the earth he had two horns like a lamb and spake as a dragon he exercised of all the power the first Beast before him and causes the Earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first Beast whose deadly wound was healed and he doeth great wonders so that he maketh Fire come down from heaven on the earth and the sight of men and he deceived them that dwelt on the Earth by means of those Miracles which he had power to do and the sight of the Beast saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the Beast which have the wound by a sword and did die and he had power to give life into the image of the Beast that the image of the Beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast should be killed he calls us all both small and great rich and poor but free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads and that no man might buy or sell except save he that have the Mark or the name of the Beast or the number of his name here is wisdom let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast it is the number of a man and his number is 6063 score and six which is six six six we're up in heaven having the marriage supper of the Lamb the Antichrist is setting up his kingdom for 42 months now the entire seven years is called tribulation and God helped me not to get off on this the entire year the entire seven years are called tribulation but three and a half years are the most prosperous unified lack of war and conflict that this world has ever had news will not be breaking of War news will not be breaking a famine and hunger because this Antichrist has answered all of this in that the world has followed him and the world or is worshiping is is worshiping is worshiping him you can't buy or sell unless you've got a mark in your right hand or your forehead everybody wealth is distributed around the world there are no Wealthy on that day and there are no poor wealth is distributed it is communism on steroids wealth is distributed around the world and everybody everybody has something to eat everybody has a form of comfort can I tell you something tonight bring it back to the church there are some people now in the church that can live for God when they got a burden on their back but they can't live for God when they got prosperity in their pocket so God always has to keep people some people in a spirit of a burden in order for them to serve God can I tell you something when God gets that burden off your back would you please serve him when God gives you health would you still come to church and worship him when God gives you more money than you know what to do with will you not plan so many vacations and cruises I'll just go ahead and tell you I'll just go ahead and tell you now you might get in a crying mood when some of y'all get so blessed that you start missing Church my prayer time I ask God to take you back down because I'd rather see you saved than to have you haven't ever stayed on the bumper of your car or you haven't ever labeled on your suitcases you've been around the world come on church we got a limp of God this is the last day this is the last day we gotta get busy winning shows have you walked by that table out there and not got an invite for Easter shame on you this is our last day we gotta get busy with a soul all right God sorry I got off on that but I got to read about that tribulation I thought you know what hey some folks can't live for God and prosperity hey some folks can't live for God in prosperity you know what the beauty of this church is you know what the beauty is there's not an ounce of difference in our worship than when we were on McGinley Street as not an ounce hey no but you don't hear people testifying around here well back on McGinley Street we used to shout you know why God said I'll trust him with that bill and I'll give you another one up the hill and when he got up on the hill guess what we had the same praise and the same worship and the same dance and the same prayer and the same living but God then we head on McGinley Street and God said I'll let you move down the road in a bigger place and now we're here we got the same worship got the same praise same church we ain't lowered our standard we got the same thing going on tonight but oh something happens something happens in Revelation 14 and verse number 9. Revelation 14 9 42 months has went by in Revelation 14 and 9 the third Angels followed them same with a loud voice if any man worship the beast in His image and receive the mark in his forehead or in his right hand the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture in the cup of indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the lamb and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever and they have no rest day or night who worship the Beast and His Image and whoso receiveth the mark of his name second Thessalonians 2 and 9 talking about the Antichrist here he comes are you ready here he comes here comes the Antichrist even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish because they receive not the love of the truth that they might be saved for this cause God shall send them strong illusion because they believe a lie that they all might be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness and a Christ is not showing up it's not going to be breaking news he's not going to be showing up on Fox and CNN and saying ladies and gentlemen of the world I am the Antichrist I am sent here I've got 42 months it's going to be prosperous everybody's going to have something to eat no he's not going to come he comes just like Satan does he is a deceiver he will promise you Joy but you can't give what you don't have he will promise you peace but you can't give what you don't have he will promise you for that you can't give what you don't have he will promise and deceitfully give you until you buy in to his life 42 months 42 months and something happens 42 months and this next verse happens Revelation 16 13. Revelation 16 and 13. and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet this is truly the Unholy Trinity here for they are the spirits of devils working miracles that's why let me stop here and pause for a moment please don't make your spiritual decisions based on somebody performing a miracle get them in the word get them in the word for they are the spirits of devils working miracles which go forth unto the kings of the Earth and of the whole world to gather them to battle of that great day of God Almighty behold I come as a thief in the night blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments lest ye walk naked and they see his shame and he gathered them into gathered them together into a place in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon it is where we get it is where we get the term the battle the battle of Armageddon now at the end of the 42 months three and a half years of prosperity the vials the vials of Wrath the biles of Wrath are going to be poured out the vials of Wrath are going to be poured out upon this Earth and I share with you from my search for two search for truth chart the vials of the Wrath now get it with me 42 months of prosperity such as we've never had and then at the end of that things go Haywire the sun is given power to Scorch men with fire there becomes storms and Lightnings in Great Earthquake and the Bible tells us that hell will fall from the skies the size of 125 pounds mysteriously rivers and oceans will be turned into blood sores will break out upon humanity and it'll be sickness and famine but most of all the kingdom of the Antichrist is going to be turned into darkness the Antichrist will turn his gaze toward that one strip of land in the Middle East and please pray for first lady and I Wednesday after Easter we're planning on going to the Middle East and we're going to preach a conference there in the Middle East pray that God gives us great Revival pray that God gives us great Souls pray that we baptize many in the only saving name of Jesus Jesus what I preached this morning brother young is not only for a little town in East Tennessee but it's for the world to hear about a name that is above a name that is above every name a name that is above every name you pray for us as we travel there Wednesday after Easter to preach it to preach in that conference the Antichrist will turn his gaze toward that one strip of property that one nation that would not make an alliance with him somehow the Antichrist will believe that's a way to break the spell of the sun and the lightning and the oceans and the blood and the Grievous Source will be to annihilate hasn't this been what hell has wanted to do all alone hell has wanted to annihilate the Jews never has there ever been a people that have fought such persecution and overcome like the Jewish people there's a lot of Nations that fought persecution but the persecution eradicated them but not this group of Jewish people because they have a covenant that God is going to revive it's a covenant of Abraham about the land the Antichrist will believe that if he can annihilate this nation if he can eradicate this nation this Antichrist will go in and set in a temple that has been built and Proclaim himself as God but something is going to to happen something is going to happen Revelation 17 and verse number 12 and the ten horns which thou sawster Ten Kings which have received no Kingdom as yet but received power as kings one hour with the Beast these have one mind the Antichrist gets them together gives them power these have one mind somebody say one mind these have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the Beast these shall make war with the lamb and the lamb shall overcome them for he is Lord of lords and king of kings and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters the Antichrist is going to gather the kingdoms of this world around Jerusalem and sad to say hear me now sad to say we're not going to stand with Israel any longer somewhere America is going to pull their allegiance away from Israel and Israel will stand all alone they'll Circle the valley there at megiddo they'll Circle in the battle of Armageddon and just when they're ready to pull the trigger just when they're ready to roll in and annihilate the Jews and take over Jerusalem from the Eastern Skies something will take place we see it here we see it we see it here so clearly let me let me go down to Revelation 19 and 11 and I saw heaven open and behold a white horse and he that set upon him was called and true and righteous and in righteousness death he judge and make war his eyes were as a flame of fire and his head were many crowns and he had a name written which no man knew but himself and he was clothed with a vestro dipped in Blood and his name is called the word of God and the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen white and clean out of his mouth go a sharp sword and that he should Smite the Nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron he treteth out the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of almighty God and he hath on his gesture and on his thigh a name written king of kings and Lord of lords who are with him coming out of Heaven who is with the white garments coming out of Heaven Jude 1 and 14 and 15. and Enoch also the seventh from Adam prophesied of these sayings saying behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his Saints to execute judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of their ungodly Deeds which they have ungodly committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly Sinners have spoken can I tell you at the end of seven years years while the bride of Christ you and I are in that great banqueting marriage Hall in heaven Our Savior Jesus Christ is going to turn and tell us to mount our horses because we are going back to the Earth King Jesus right on King Jesus King Jesus is going to mount a horse and he's coming back to this earth and it's a time of judgment it's a time of judgment such has never been seen and he just when it looks like trembling Israel is going to be annihilated they will turn their heads they've been looking to the mountaintops the the world is looking down on them and they are looking up on them and just in the Split Second the skies are gonna crack open and they that have gathered around are gonna twist their head and look toward the sky and Jerusalem the Jews are from the look to the sky and they're going to look upon Him whom they have pierced and they're going to see him as their Savior and as their lord could you give him a praise right now could you give him a praise oh yes the Old Testament Zechariah Zechariah 14 and 1 the Old Testament Zechariah prophesied of this and he said behold the day of the Lord cometh and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee for I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle the city shall be taken to the houses ruffled and the women ravished in half of the city shall go forth into captivity and the residue of the people shall not be cut off of the city then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those Nations as when he fought in the day of battle his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the East and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst toward clean thereof toward the East and toward the west and there and toward and and there shall be a very great valley half the mountain shall remove toward the North and half of it toward the South and ye shall flee to the Valley of the mountains for the Valley of the mountains shall reach into Azale yea ye shall flee like as you fled before the earthquakes in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and the Lord my God shall come and all the saints with thee and it shall come to pass in that day that the light shall not be clear nor dark but that that it shall be one day day which shall be known to the Lord not day nor night but it shall come to pass that in the evening time there shall be light and it shall be in that day that living water shall go forth from Jerusalem half toward the former sea and have toward the hundred sea in summer and in Winter shall it be and the Lord shall be king over all the Earth in that day there shall be one Lord and his name shall be won let me show you what's going to happen when he comes back with his church when he comes back at the end of the tribulation period of seven years let me share with you what's going to happen immediately in Revelation chapter 19 and verse 20. and the Beast was taken and with him the false prophet that wrought Miracles before him which had which he had deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshiped His image those both were cast alive those both were cast alive into the burning into the fire burning with in the lake excuse me of fire burning with Brimstone but I like I like Revelation 20 and verse number one and I saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and the great chain in his hand and he laid hold on the dragon that old serpent which is the devil and Satan and bound him notice this a thousand years and cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up set a seal upon him that he should not that he should deceive the Nations no more till the Thousand Years be fulfilled and after that he must be loosed to season at the end of The Seven Year tribulation Christ himself along with you and I are coming back to this Earth for a 1 000 year reign on this Earth it's in the book church it's in the book Isaiah 2 and 4 he shall judge among the Nations and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their Spears into pruning hooks Nation shall not lift up sword against Nation neither shall they learn War any more things are going to change things are going to change with the presence of God on this earth and the church and and one of the most glorious things is that Satan is shut up that means his influence is no longer is no longer there now you're going to notice and I'm going to go to Isaiah 11 and verse 11 in verse number 6 where Satan shut up and Jesus Christ reigning from Jerusalem the glory of God fills the Earth that you're going to see something naturally happen even in the animal kingdom Isaiah 11 and 6 the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb the leopard shall lay down with the kid that's a goat and the calf and the Young Lion and the and the fatling together a little child shall leave them the cow and the bear shall feed their young ones shall lie down together the lion shall eat straw like an ox the suckling child shall play upon the whole of the ass that's a that's a snake and the winged child should put his hand on the cockatrice den they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my Holy Mountain for the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord and though as the waters cover the sea this one thousand year reign is going to cause there to be a shift back to when there was no sin we see these animals that are now hostile toward one another but now on that time that Thousand Years these animals will lie together not only that in Isaiah chapter 65 and verse 19. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy in my people and the voice of weeping shall be heard no more in her nor the voice of crying can I tell you that the most prominent voice in the Middle East today is weeping and wailing over War weeping and wailing over War but not during this Thousand-Year Reign verse 20 there shall be no more fence and infant of days nor an old man that hath not fulfilled his days for a child shall die be a hundred years old but the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed you see not only will the animal kingdom change animals have are that are hostile toward one another right now during that Millennial during that 1 000 year reign the nature of these animals change but not only does the nature of the animals we begin to return back to a time when men would live several hundreds of years and Isaiah said that if a child would die being a hundred years old it would be viewed that he or she was just was just a child what are we doing on the earth pray tell what is the church doing Paul gives us a glimmer in our in First Corinthians chapter 6 and verse 2 Paul tells us what we will be doing he says of course now what Paul is referring to in the Corinthian Church they had church members suing one another taking one another to court against each other and Paul condemns that that the Believers would find themselves in a courtroom with uh with with with a judge that knows not God he said it's a bad testimony but as he's referred as he's laying this out he says do ye not know that the Saints shall judge the world and if the world shall be judged by you are ye unworthy to judge the smallest of matters know you not that we shall judge Angels how much more things that pertain to this life Paul shakes them real good and Paul says y'all can't get along down here y'all can't work things out down here on this Earth how in the world you think you're going to judge Angels one day for you're not just going to be sitting around Jerusalem for a thousand years fold in your hands I'm going to tell you something I've often told people that said oh I want it always always wanted to go to Jerusalem to the Middle East stay in the church all of us are going one day we're all going there one day I've already been there we got a trip planned later in this year to go there but you know something about seven days or eight days of that you've seen ever you've seen every traditional siding that you've seen you've seen every traditional trezakius climbed up UCL reports the Harlot set on and God's sake you see all that but I'm gonna tell you for a thousand years we're going to reign as kings and Priests the world is going to be flowing to Jerusalem asking for wisdom and asking for knowledge and there we're going to be we're going to be judging we're going to be giving advice I'm going to tell you something church people have a lot of good advice to give a world but then something happens at the end of the Thousand Years Revelation 20 and verse 7. and when the Thousand Years are expired Satan shall be loosed out of his prison and shall go out to deceive the Nations which are in the four corners of the earth Gog and Magog to gather them together to battle this is not the battle of Armageddon the Battle of armaged it's already been fought to gather them to battle the number of whom is as the sand of the sea and they went up on the breath of the earth and can pass the camp of the Saints Jerusalem roundabout and the Beloved City fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them and the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the Beast of the false prophet are and shall be tormented day and night day and night day and night forever and ever Satan you're going to visit the pit for a thousand years now I can't understand this right here I can't understand how a world could believe Satan after you've had a thousand years of such a prosperous people are living longer animal kingdom is right the glory of God's filled the Earth but Satan is loose a little season notice where he goes and I got another message for this he goes to the four corners of the earth that's another way brother Nolan of saying he got as far away from Jerusalem that he could to do his work that's why if you want to know where the devil is prowling in this church he's not prowling down here in the altar he's not prowling in the prayer room he's not prowling with people working for God he goes to the edges of the church he goes to the outer perimeters of the church that people that have chose to live with a little warm of God on this side and a little cool of the world on that side and he goes out and he begins to deceive them again I don't want to live like that I don't want to live like that put me in the fire put me in the flame I'm gonna be burned up with him I want to be I want to be absolutely consumed Jesus witnessing prayer Bible studies reaching the laws getting your silly house is going to burn up your silly cars and your silly bank accounts is going to burn out and then he takes Satan and he puts him in Hell forever eternity and then he sets up the Great white Throne judgment Revelation 20 and 11. and I saw a great white throne in him that said on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was found no place for them and I saw the dead small and great stand before God in the books plural were opened and another book was open which is The Book of Life the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works I wish these people that have OD'd on it's not my works well understand when you stand before God on this Judgment Day books are going to be open plural you see that final Resurrection is the resurrection of all who have ever lived the first resurrection is only for the church the bride final Resurrection Adam and Eve will be resurrected on that day every person that's ever lived will be Resurrected it will stand before God and the books plural are opened and whatever time period of History you lived in you're going to be judged out of them whatever period of History that's why you better know the word of God we are in the grace dispensation you better get you a Bible and you better read it from cover to cover and find out what's expected of you because you want to make it in the Rapture I'm not I'm not giving I'm not listen I'm not giving anybody any hope that misses the rapture because I think you're a little crazy to be honest with you I'm sorry but I think you're a little crazy I think you'd be a little crazy to sit here tonight and think well it seems like to me if I miss the rapture that I can that I can make it through the tribulation really you can't even make it with a choir handbook really and I'm gonna tell you something I believe that one of the tricks the devil's going to pull before the rapture is this trick on the church easily offended some people are going to serve God about all their life and right at the last they gonna get offended about some little silly thing somebody didn't shake my hand while he broke up with her well I think there's favoritism go I didn't mean now oh yes come on now this is heaven and hell you hear me you come on Church you really think you're gonna make it in Tribulation when you can't even buy a loaf of bread unless you got a mark on your hand or your forehead you really think you're gonna sit in that room with that little baby crying and your wife saying go out there and get some bread you know and the only way I can buy a bridge I gotta take a mark you really think you're going to endure that as a matter of fact as a matter of fact it's gonna take something let me say something you ain't gonna make it well I'm going to show you okay you know what how about it Hoss put your thinking cap on right now you better realize right now is the time to get a relationship with him because I don't want to be endurance honey if we could just stay if we could not eat another year or two if we just go out here and eat some grass in the front yard we're gonna now you ain't gonna do that and you know you ain't gonna do that I'm not working on endurance I'm working on relationship right now God I love you Lord you God to save a world I want to live my life utterly consume with getting everybody saved that I can get saved preach preach witness word pray talk about it be concerned come on Church come on stop getting easily offended he he didn't mention my name in prayer let me ask you something you asked me to pray for you I'm going to pray for you now whether I'm going to say it public in this Pulpit or not I don't know but which do you want to get healed you want to get healed or do you want your name mentioned well brother Carlton just don't have time for me you don't have to I went down the front and all he's got time for is these new people coming in and that's all I want to tell I I got to tell about my toenails got fungus on it and he's just over there with folks trying to get them on drugs or something he's just over there with with them folks trying to get them you better believe I'm over there with them because they need me the most and you know what if you'd stop worrying about your toenail and get your mind on the laws maybe God would heal your toenail come on we are the church the books were open the books were open the dead were judged out of them and everybody's name everybody's name that was not written was cast into the Lake of Fire sure there's going to be people here going to heaven there's going to be people here in this white Throne judgment that is that that whatever dispensation they lived under they did their best and God's gonna bring them in there's going to be those that lived under those dispensations that are cast into the Lake of Fire God is a just God he judges by the dispensation that you were that you were given the Bible said verse 15 into verse chapter 20. and whosoever was not found written in the book you better find out what you better find out the book was cast in the Lake of Fire and then verse chapter 21 verse number one and I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth you just look around this one's getting burnt up this one's getting burnt up everything you see and everything you're trying to protect is going up in flames he promised that he would not destroy the Earth again with water but he didn't say nothing about fire the Bible says that this Earth is going to be consumed with fire John said I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away and there was no more seed and I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband and I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying behold the Tabernacle of God is with men that Tabernacle of god notice this behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them wait a minute behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and the Tabernacle is a he you better believe the Tabernacle of God is a he because God chose the Tabernacle in a fleshly body through the man Christ Jesus behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them and be their God and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away and he that set up on the throne said behold I make all things new and he said unto me right for these words are true and faithful church tonight I have done my feeble attempt to give you the timeline of Prophecy that is marching toward us next the Rapture of the church are you ready to go in the Rapture let me tell you what it's going to take according to the books you've got to be a bride that takes on his name you have got to take on the name of the bridegroom and that name is Jesus and how do you take that name on you don't take it on through confession you take it on when you are baptized in the name of Jesus the Bible says know you not as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ when I was baptized in Jesus name my name is Kenneth Ray Carpenter all of those names were given to me by my parents Kenneth Ray was given to me by my parents my last name is the name my father gave me but when I got baptized in Jesus name I am no longer Kenneth Ray Carpenter I am Kenneth Ray Carpenter Jesus I am Kenneth Ray Carpenter Jesus I got engaged to him he God on a cross and propose marriage to me and I said I do I do I do and I took his name oh my God come on stand right now almighty God Mighty God staying with me right now these two things you need to be ready for the Rapture you need water baptism in Jesus name and you need the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues if you're going to go in the Rapture that's what the book says you hear me that's what the book says you hear me that's what the book says that's what the book says that's what the book says that's what the book says well do I have to be baptized you really you really want to say that tonight because you are almost accusing God of not keeping his word hey ask the Fallen Angels if God means his word he cast them out of heaven down to the Earth hey hey hey some of you think God's Gonna curb the grave ask Sodom and Gomorrah God means business as Sodom and Gomorrah does God mean business hey some of you think we're going to change everything ask the Generation all but eight Souls that drowned in the flood if God doesn't mean his word God says don't God said in the Old Testament God said don't work on the Sabbath day but you know that was a fella there in the group and he just thought I just wonder if God really means that so he went out on the Sabbath day and started picking up sticks and they found him and they brought him to Moses and he said Moses we found this man we found him picking up sticks working on Sabbath day and Moses knew that he shouldn't be doing it but Moses didn't know what Moses didn't know what to do he said well I know you shouldn't do it and the Bible records the first jail in the first jail in human history Moses constructed the first jail in human history called a ward award most said build a place a war to jail a cell put the man in it till we may know the mind of the Lord and when they got the mind of the Lord the Lord said I said no work on the Sabbath stoning Stoney the Bible says that he's coming again with flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and Obey not the gospel of Jesus Christ folks I know we live in a day that we don't like getting serious you know it's real heavy it's your head you better believe it's real heavy you better believe it's real heavy because it's Eternal it's it's
