The Second Coming

let's go to our bibles this is our final session on the second coming um i i know once you began down the road of talking about the rapture the second coming of the lord has anybody's was anybody here for the first coming no okay uh but we we do believe that the scripture is true correct we we studied about it over the last several weeks genesis to revelation has a purpose all right uh let me ask it this way it's it's a biblical question if you were to live your life and this was the end and this was all there was how sad would that be right because as successful as you might be here on planet earth the truth is is you'll never be the most successful agreed i found out that the last couple of weeks that one of the richest guys in the world is going through a divorce and and the the question is is is how to divide things uh i don't did i hear the numbers like dub a good jillion has to be divided by a koopa goober billion or something like that i'm talking about the microsoft guy won't use his name because nobody knows it um that's astounding to me is he the most successful yet if he's the most successful why does he still struggle to the point but you can be the most poor as grandma you say the poor's jobs turkey whatever that meant but know god and it's okay isn't it isn't it amazing how god fills in the gaps and becomes life abundant life and pure life i'm thankful for the name of jesus how about you we have discovered over the last couple of weeks as well that that not everybody's going to heaven not everyone's going to hear well done not everyone's going to hear come on in in fact hell is in a a build it's widening its its gates as we have looked at i want you to know friend that god has established from the very beginning he also established the end and it's called heaven i wish you'd turn to somebody and say heaven come on tell somebody heaven there's no amount of money there's no time to do over there's no once more let me try it again but the truth is there will come a final trump a final sound and it will be done okay the bible gives some very direct things listen this very carefully the bible gives some very direct information concerning the second coming of the lord jesus hear this the signs that we have in the scriptures they are not for those who do not believe if you don't believe in god you're definitely not in the word of god but the signs that are written about in the scripture some of them are going to look at tonight those signs are in there for a purpose because the church has to be aware of god's timing so everything that's going on in the scriptures they are not for those that are simply living life but they are for those who are watching and waiting amen know that friend when you come into the family of god and you get into the word of the lord it's not for those who don't bother to make a change in their lives and want to make heaven their home okay listen to me carefully hell is very easy to get to do nothing you'll be there now eternity is eternal so if you want to live that life that's going to lead you to destruction without being destroyed bottomless pit without hitting the bottom weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth with no relief you simply do nothing you can tell your neighbor that that's a great conversation piece hey you believe in god yeah you're going to hell how do you know well now you don't make friends that way stay with me first corinthians let's go there this is a letter written to the church first corinthians 13 and 12. for now we see through a glass look how he describes it darkly but then face to face now i know in part but then shall i know even as also i am known what is the reference here that paul gives to the church at corinth what we see is very obscure it's very dark we don't comprehend it for an example if you knew today's events were going to directly affect your trip to heaven how would you have treated today's events you don't see that though it's to you it's called life it's called getting out of bed and going about your business and the ups downs the mistakes the goods the bads and the uglies it's simply part of what you've made in your life what if you knew that smile that that handshake that pat on the back that wave across the room was literally going to take that person out of hell into heaven how would you have reacted see we don't think of it that way do we we just live life after the fact we said oh boy i shouldn't have said that but i'm gonna pay for that one lord forgive me help me because we're trying okay we're trying to you know justify how we just acted with someone you know like when you're driving and your patience wears thin you wanna know how you act while you're driving ask your kids don't do that you look through a glass darkly because you can't see what all is going on paul writes though to the church and says i know in part i know a little bit because i can see fruit of what's transpiring but what how i'm going to be known there is by how i respond and how i act here see i believe that once you make heaven your home it's not going to be a bunch of people walking around going i never met you i don't know you my name is what are you doing where you're from right there's going to be a connectivity there because what is going to be exactly the same across the board the what the spirit of god that's in you now we know according to the scripture that one of the most revealing things that we as a church have to watch for listen carefully first of all tonight i want to talk about the nation of israel how our world deals with israel god's people it is one of the clear indicators as to the status of the second coming so you need to watch those things do not ignore those things when that when that smallest country in the world if you will pops into the news you better take a moment to look at it why because the scripture gives us as people who believe in god and are following his word it gives us clear indication israel is going to go through some things in fact the world is going to try to destroy israel and they've tried that multiple times when you know back in may of 1948 all of the things that transpired to get israel back as a nation we need to understand something god knew exactly what he was doing and right now 2021 listen carefully if you'll look at the news and you'll see how countries in the world are treating the small blessed nation of israel god gave us that as an indicator people are going to rise up against the people of god now we can translate that very quickly to anybody who believes in god but hey friend israel was established because of the relationship that god made with a man those are his blessed people they've got the smartest engineers they've got the greatest scientists they are blessed financially mentally emotionally that is god's people that covenant did not break if nothing else you get out of tonight's lesson you ought to know that in all of the things that life has brought to israel god still loves them and he's still taking care of them what does that indicate to you and i as messed up as we can be god can still love us and still take care of us even in the midst of a mess amen one of the indications is the world's smallest nation literally carries the most influence and the most power of all the nations nations around the world are scratching their heads saying how can it be that this country is such a small speck on the horizon but yet they they're worried about they're contended with they're they're like why they do why do they have why does everybody go to bat for them why don't you just leave them alone the fact of the matter is here god fearing people years gone by what did they do they respected and honored the things of god agreed but again one of the indications that the church is looking for in the last days is what nation's going to rise against nation there's going to be a change in the way people love one another there's going to be an altering if you will of how people naturally should have affection also israel is going to be pointed at lied about tried to destroy but god's hand is going to be on him friend if you're looking for the second coming of the lord keep your eyes on israel keep your eyes on israel if you don't understand what i'm talking about i challenge you go to the scriptures and find out god's covenant with abraham and how that covenant carried through and how that today god is still blessing the nation of israel a second thing i want to talk about for a moment the second coming there is a clear indication the bible says in matthew 24 but as the day of noah were so shall also the coming of the son of man that's in matthew 24 37 but as in the days that were before the flood they were eating drinking marrying giving in marriage until the day that noah entered into the ark 39 and knew not until the flood came took them all away so shall the coming of the son of man be this warning is for the church now go back again do me a favor don't watch hollywood's version and take that one go back and read the account of the days of noah notice what they were doing now here's the question for you and i 2021 what is wrong with drinking and marrying and eating do what does it i eat every day i'm going back there and seeing a little too so but uh here and here to hear this the scriptures revealing here was noah was one man that found favor in the eyes of god for the saving of his family listen to this noah was not given the instruction to build the ark to save the world but for the saving of his family the indication that noah had to look for when teaching and keeping his family straight was what look what's going on around us they are worried more about their flesh about what they want about what they desire they're not caring about the things of god and the oncoming onslaught of rain that's about to happen because they have no idea what rain is do you realize that the days of noah when we bring that to the days of the second coming of the lord nobody's going to realize what's happening when that trumpet sounds unless you are in the church i mean there's a whole lot of hollywood out there again i have to use that because of all the the the glamour that's given to it but friend of mine if the trumpet sounds right now what do you think this world's going to say what are they going to say you think they're going to be worried about the cars wrecking on the road or the fires that are going to burn out or the airplanes that are going to crash or all the stuff that's going to happen now let me ask you a question this is just a this is a simple question if you have the holy ghost and you're sitting here do you realize where you go that spirit is with you on your job in your family at the store down driving down the street there is something about holy ghost filled spirit of god people you take that with you agreed there is a peace and an understanding that comes to those who are living and breathing the word of god imagine for one moment that spirit of peace and and contentment and joy and love imagine it's gone no longer even in the atmosphere what do you think is going to transpire what's going to happen and that spirit of of joy and peace and longsuffering and patience and gentleness and meekness all those things that we know as demonstrations of how god works within peoples called fruit right we know when those things are sucked out of here the world's going to look around and they're going to feel such an evil and such a presence of the evil one they have they have no idea what they're in store for no idea whatsoever none how can they know there's not a sinner in this world walking around saying i love all this pain and suffering they don't realize what they're feeling in the pain and the suffering and all the torment and stuff they're running themselves through what they don't realize is the spirit of god is still on earth and prayers are still happening come on several years ago i'm reminded that i i was i was helpful i thought in jail ministry we'd go to the jail once a month they let us in on one night i'd go in with my little keyboard and my little amplifier and set it down and all the three chords and four chords i knew i would go after it and they're in jail so they can't complain wait wait wait that's d minor there do what i want to tell me orange suit guy and we'd have church and all the prisoners that would come in man there would be a hundred of these guys they wanted to be in there why they got out of their cell so they walk in there and they sashay in with their flip-flops and their orange and everything you know they come in and and they sit down and we'd start and i want you to know one of the messages i preached in there that you have to be careful what you say to a bunch of big guys that have killed that's just wisdom i'm just saying you know what i'm saying one of the things that i mentioned in one of those services i was in let me tell you something you're in here tonight because you deserve to be and they're sitting there going yeah but there was a grandmother or a mother that prayed for you you may be thankful there are prayers stored up with your name attached to them and here man and invariably they would start crying yeah my grandmother my mom my dad whatever so as bad and as evil as you turned out there was good still in you because somebody prayed when the second coming happens gone you won't have that his spirit's drawn gone now what see those that are gone won't have to worry about it will you you know when i say you can have the house you know feed the dog whatever and i don't know far as i'm concerned you won't even care about the dog like that's the chief concern right i'm sorry the days of noah wickedness was more of a concern the flesh of man was more of a concern than the spirit the thing that was about to happen they wallered in their sin the the the eating and drinking the marion and giving in marriage meaning they had no reference for the things that god had established and put in order what's happening in 2021 anybody care to go there what about the days of lot that's in luke 17. verse 28 likewise also as it was in the days of lot they did eat they drank they bought they sold they planted they builded but the same day that lot went out of sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven destroyed them all even thus shall it be the day the son of man is revealed in that day he which be upon the house top and his stuff in the house let him not come down to take it away and he that is in the field let him likewise not return back remember lot's wife that's that verse you memorized besides jesus wept right okay whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it i tell you in that night there shall be two men in one bed the one shall be taken the other shall be left two women shall be grinding together the one shall be taken the other left two men shall be in the field the one shall be taken the other left and they answered and said unto him where lord and he said unto them wheresoever the body is thither will the eagles be gathered together listen carefully he's giving direct direct understanding there's going to be one here and one there they will be in the same principle place the field the bed grinding whatever those happen to be the rest the work or the enjoyment it's two but when that day is revealed one's gonna go and one's gonna stay that sound well that's simple okay here's my question for you which one will you be because it doesn't say that well i'm going to be the one that goes what are you going to tell the guy who's left are you going to flip a coin no what are you going to do you're going to make sure that wherever you are in proximity location wherever you're standing or laying or doing in that particular moment that you are the one that you have made your call in your election sure you have followed the will on the plan of god therefore you can rest assured wherever you are now some people i had friends growing up they they wouldn't they they were very uncomfortable being alone with with some people because they know that if the lord that's a southern day note they knew that if the lord came that they'd be the one left and so they wouldn't hang around good people because they don't say that both go and both be left it's one in one right so they're watching who they're around you know no i can't hang around you're a good guy oh yeah you're worse than i am come here man yeah we're good i want to be the best one out of this pair right that's not the principle here oh that's not the principle here some of us would say that's what marriage is about stop saying that stop saying that don't go there stay just look up here you'll be at it you'll stay out of trouble just watch up here notice guys there are a lot of similarities between the days of noah and the days of lot agreed scripture-wise there's a lot of similarities there why because the the attitude and the desire of humanity will always lead you to destruction never forget the flesh is very powerful and the flesh has the ability to separate you from the mercy of the grace and the love of god it can drive a wedge between you flesh will do that nothing shall separate me from the love of god flesh can because you can run away from god you can desire yourself more than god and god's standing there saying i love you too much than to chase you down you don't believe it that's the rich young ruler that story has always amazed me i've done this i've done that i've done that i did that and i did that fine go sell what you got give to the poor he did what he was sorrowful he walked away and how was he described he had much goods the challenge wasn't him doing what was required of him the challenge was his flesh said i'd rather have the stuff you with me come on if heaven is still if second coming is still what you're looking for and steal what you're hungry for then friend it ought to be on your mind every day you shouldn't let a day go by that you don't look to the heavens and say lord is this the day lord is this the moment no it's not okay i'll go move the art huh that's what i mean the fields mentioned right anyway also noted notice the climate of the church this is where i'm headed to tonight matthew 24 notice the climate of the church in the last days matthew 24 verse 43 but know this this is this is interesting that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come he would have watched it would not have suffered his house to be broken up verse 44 therefore be also ready for in such an hour as you think not the son of man cometh who then is a faithful and wise servant whom his lord hath made ruler over his household to give them meat in due season this is a question he's asking blessed is that servant whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing verily i say unto you that he shall that he shall make him ruler over all his goods but and if that evil servant shall say in his heart my lord delayeth is coming and shall begin to smite his fellow servants and to eat and drink and to be dr with the drunken the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him in an hour that he is not aware of and shall cut him asunder appoint him his portion with hypocrites there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth interesting that the references here in this portion of scripture is indicating the one who's supposed to be the servant listen carefully that means the one who has taken up the responsibility of things in his owner's house but because he's not sure when the owner is going to come back and he's not watching for that return of that owner he is going to begin to let down his guard and he's going to be found doing things that the people that are not in his responsibility are doing and when the owner comes back this guy is going to have a really really really bad day friend of mine hear this you can be in church your whole life you can darken the door every service but if your heart is wrong and if you are not deliberately running and searching for the miracles and the blessings and the anointing of god in your life what do you think is going to happen i'm afraid i i know that i've not been to heaven i've not died gone to heaven and come back i'm just from the scriptures that i read i know this there's a lot of folk that's not going to be in heaven that thought they would be and there's going to be folk in heaven that nobody thought would be how can that be possible how can that be possible i'll tell you how the scripture is very very clear about this you know what he's going to wipe away all tears from your eyes that right no more pain no suffering he's gonna be the light of the whole no room for candles oil lamps none of that don't need it don't need a clock it's gonna be forever and forever are you with me you got all this peaceful stuff going on you see this tranquil that's going on the blessing of of knowing what heaven is going to be like if that's the case when there's no more tears in heaven that means once you have received that reward all of those who didn't make it you're not going to know if you knew what would that do for your wonderful pleasant time in heaven that would be the weeping and the wailing and gnashing of teeth oh god they didn't make it and i thought they would the grace of god is going to say i'm not dealing with that you stood here in front of judgment i read it now enter you won't even have a a recollection nor the ability to say but the one who he pushed to the side as the goat what happened to them where do they go if you're if you're going to make heaven you already know what's going to happen to that one you already know what's about to take place for that one when that pit is opened satan is loosed and then when he's thrown back in it and his and all his angels all of those who wouldn't follow the scripture that we have and the word and the plan of god from the beginning there's a place in that and it's called a what a lake a fire it's not a candle it's a a lake of fire and somebody described to me a lake of fire oh that's that's like a at sea world when when things blow up and they drive a boat through it there's a lake of fire see if that were the case there'd be water there we already know there's not because of the guy who said i just want a drop of water on my tongue i'll preach a message one day when the lord will allow me to when hell preaches to the church you go tell my brothers they don't want to come here the second coming the wise and the faithful servant knows that his master has given him a responsibility and he knows he's coming back what is he going to do then he's going to watch he's going to make sure everything's in order because he's not certain when that moment will be as we develop our relationship with jesus christ we become more familiar with the voice of the lord we've become more familiar with how the spirit of god deals with us as individuals we understand the power and the presence of god and how it works in our lives and we develop our love for god because we know him listen to me not because of what he's done for us not because of all the stuff he's given us not for all the stuff that he's brought us through but because we know him they may here know jesus do you know jesus come on don't be afraid to answer it you better you better know do you know jesus then you better get that relationship right now as much as as some of us may or may not like it or may or may not enjoy it uh i i really feel like that in the last days there's going to be some messages preached there's going to be some teaching happen there's going to be some parents and grandparents pointing their finger telling kids hell's hot hell's hot hell's hot you better not you better not go there see i i've told you all this before when i was a kid growing up i was scared to death some service after church on sunday night to go to bed scared to death i could almost smell the sulfur and the flames i could feel them because my pastor would get up there with his emphysema and he would preach about hell is hot hell hath no it is you're going to that place if you don't make your call and election if you don't have that holy spirit living in you and i'd sit there as a 10 11 12 year old i'd just go oh my lord and i'd get home at that night and i'd lay in a bed and say god i if i died right now what would happen i had no idea pastor you're just being dramatic no it's at that point did i brother roger i began to develop a respect and a reverence for god and i began to realize when you get to church you better not play you better not play every single one of us in here know somebody who played and they lost their life they lost what they had and now there's no question whatsoever you understand now is not the time to play church you can't play in the house of god lastly notice how jesus talking about the return the second coming notice how he deals how he was dealing with it with the church new testament stuff ii peter 3 verse 1 says this this second epistle beloved i now write unto you in both which i stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us the apostles of the lord and savior knowing this first that there shall come in the last days scoffers walking after their own lust and saying where is the promise of his coming for since the fathers fell asleep all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation to this day today 2021 there are folk in our world saying yeah well where is his second coming i've heard that my whole life whatever he hasn't come yet my grandma used to say that she's dead and gone my mom used to say that she's gone and yet you're still saying where is he i'll tell you what the scoffers are doing is they're not following the spirit i tell you scoffers are not going to know when the trumpet sounds they're not they're just going to see boom everything's changed spirit's gone they're going to go ah got nothing to scoff about now nobody to complain to nobody bellyache about the holiness and the living for god and the separated life and and not doing and doing and so forth and so on and they got nobody now to talk to according to what second peter the letter he wrote was know that the day's going to come when scoffers are going to look at you they're going to walk after their own lust and they're going to try to pull you down with them they have a motive they're doing this on purpose the old saying if you will is misery loves everybody they'll just take anybody misery doesn't have a a resume that you they don't have a checklist they don't have a question answers now really how miserable are you why are you no it's just misery loves company even those who have once had a relationship with god they can get to a point that they no longer consider the coming of the lord to be a joyful event in fact they'll deny it knowing they have walked with god known the voice of god but something in their flesh and in their spirit caused them to put a wall up they'll no longer be hungry and thirsty for the things of god yeah they'll desire their flesh still they'll scoff yeah i heard that all my life but it ain't never happened so live and let live let the good times roll we always listen to church we've always got to be in a position of watching every morning when you get up and you say your prayer you better pray lord if this is your day let me be attuned to the trumpet lord if this is your moment anybody here ever been caught twix and tween two things like you really wanted to do wrong but you were afraid to why y'all laughing herb your loudest laughing what's up with that oh you're the sinner saying let him be saved lord right huh you you knew what you needed to do prayer time church i need to go but paying your tithe on your increase i know i need to but maybe i can get away with what i mean you think that just happens i i've heard many many times that that there's a whole lot of battles won and lost and the devil never fired a shot he just simply had to keep us from hearing the voice of god you know our pastor says every every every sunday get in the altar if i'm counseling with you talking you need to be in the altar that's the safest place you know why because it is at an altar where you're away from your phone all your distractions and you get into an altar that is a place of sacrifice that is a place of bloodletting that is a place of cleansing the altar and if you're afraid to get to the altar and you better check on yourself you better start doing some some self-evaluation lord i hear the preacher talking about second coming i just i just want to love you and i just want to serve you and and i'm not really sure why then you've missed the whole point of in the beginning god created and at the end he's going to call the church home it's interesting to me and i'm trying to bring the wheels out here we talked a week or so ago about what john saw in revelation he had no clue how to put into words what he was seeing he was doing the best he could with what understanding he had i mean i mean who else is going to talk about a a 10 horn animal and seven this and eight heads and nine this and uh i mean you know the horse this and the harlot this and the there's blood this and all that i'm gonna hear what's gonna ask me to write something like that is really ugly dot dot dot i don't know what else say that's us right because we got to be politically correct we got to be kind and gentle don't offend nobody and john's sitting there saying you know what there are vials seals that are closing up things and they're being broken when they're broke listen to this when those vials are those seals are broken it is not a pretty sight there's a weeping happening in the angelic when that happens oh something bad's about to transpire and there was nobody to stand in the gap and it happened that's in your revelation when we get to 19 and 20 21 22 of revelation it's all glorious and it's all very cool because it talks about new heaven new earth it talks about foundations and gates and gold and and jasper and all these wonderful stones and things that you don't even know what a sardine mixer is you know never seen a pearl that size i don't even know if i know how to get that imagine the clam anyway imagine digging the hole out of it the door this is the worst job i don't know i don't know imagine i am so so so very sure that god's word is true what will it be like to stand there that day in the heaven and stand upon foundations named after a bunch of guys that you and i never would have picked tax collector fishermen their names written on foundations built upon what was done tell me god's plan isn't perfect and that place no tears no pain no suffering no sorrow he's the light what does that even mean what does that even indicate no shadows no negative i don't know i don't know maybe as i draw older i i long for that answer you ever thought about what would you ask jesus if you had an opportunity would you ask those prophets of old if you had the chance i mean is that is that okay what would you ask them will it matter i mean i wonder if i have connect groups you know you can sit around and talk and drink coffee and holy coffee there's a message for you right i mean i don't know what will eternity be like well we even know that the clock is ticking because there won't be it'll be you him there i'm trying heaven has given details of mansions does anybody know what a mansion is i'm not sure that i do i visited the biltmore mansion anybody ever been there and i don't want that thing you ain't got wi-fi here what's wrong with y'all you know i'm not a downton abbey kind of guy and stay with me mansions could it be that mansions in heaven have no significance because it won't matter it's an indication of you'll have a home streets of gold what does that even mean anybody here have a street of gold i don't even i don't even know what that looks because it says it it looks like transparent glass does anybody hear anybody's spirit all of a sudden shaking just a little bit saying oh hmm to see loved ones you're known as you are to see loved ones what will they talk about what will be their response when they see you and you see them if there's no tears then how can it be is it that mean that simply you'll be like yes high five baby we made it we made it go home we're home i don't know friend of mine hear me but anything heaven is better than anything hell i hasn't even seen it ear hasn't even heard it it's never even entered into your brain or your heart what's gonna be there second coming guys it's a real event come on mom and dad you better be talking to your children about it every single day if you don't they don't know what they're looking forward to when the time comes they're gonna make some decisions to lead them down the path out the door of the church and you're gonna stand and wonder why talk about heaven and the good things talk about hell and the bad things and see what happens i'll tell you this and i'm done brother jerome come please junior high camp i'm 11 years old on a wednesday night the lord filled me with the baptism of the holy ghost monday night i prayed tuesday night i prayed i was soaking wet with sweat and
