2
\n00:00:05,100 –> 00:00:06,800
\nwe’re going to save thieving
\nlittle hope. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:08,900
\nThat’s much less experience of
\nthat. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,500 –> 00:00:16,100
\nOne of my earliest Recollections
\nof having been exposed to a <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,100 –> 00:00:19,500
\nthief was when I guess I was
\nprobably about seven or eight <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:19,500 –> 00:00:26,300
\nyears old and my grandma paid
\nfor us to go on holiday to Wales<\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:26,300 –> 00:00:29,900
\nfor a few days.
\nI say she paid for us because my<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:29,900 –> 00:00:33,700
\ndad didn’t have any money so if
\nwe got a holiday then she paid <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:33,700 –> 00:00:34,900
\nit makes you got to come with
\nus. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:35,300 –> 00:00:38,600
\nSo, my grandma paid and we
\nstayed a little hotel in Wales. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:38,600 –> 00:00:44,000
\nIt was a bit Fawlty Towers as I
\nrecall and it had a very odd Key<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:46,200
\nSystem.
\nWhen you left your room and lock<\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:46,200 –> 00:00:48,700
\nyour room, there was a board on
\nthe hallway where you would hang<\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:48,700 –> 00:00:54,300
\nyour key as you left the room.
\nI mean I’ve never came a Janelle<\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:54,300 –> 00:00:57,300
\nlooking back and more ridiculous
\nsecurity system on the planet. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:57,800 –> 00:01:02,100
\nAnyway, one evening, we all went
\ndown for dinner and my dad who <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:02,100 –> 00:01:06,000
\nwas a rule follower hung the key
\nagainst the number of the room. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:09,200
\nSo there was a big board with
\nall the rumors and you would <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:09,700 –> 00:01:12,200
\nhang your key on the way down.
\nI mean, it’s inevitable what’s <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:14,200
\ngoing to happen, right?
\nAnd we went, we went down for <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:14,200 –> 00:01:18,300
\ndinner while Evening and we seem
\nto little shops I recall as we <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:18,300 –> 00:01:20,300
\ngot back after dinner in the
\nroom, have been completely <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:20,300 –> 00:01:23,500
\nransacked and I do recall even
\nas a child, I think saying to <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:23,500 –> 00:01:29,600
\nDad we did give them the key and
\nthere’s no better way to know <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:29,600 –> 00:01:31,900
\nwhen a thief is coming.
\nThe when you hang your room of <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:31,900 –> 00:01:36,400
\nit Ki upon, as you leave the
\nroom right to say I’m not there,<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:36,500 –> 00:01:39,000
\nplease.
\nPlease go on ahead. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:39,500 –> 00:01:42,900
\nAnd anyway, the room got
\nransacked and I remember it <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:42,900 –> 00:01:45,700
\nquite vividly recollection for
\nWill be more for the Fawlty <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:45,700 –> 00:01:47,500
\nTowers asked experience that it
\nwas. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:47,500 –> 00:01:51,700
\nBut what about the other abiding
\nthing that I recall about it was<\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:51,700 –> 00:01:55,100
\nmy dad’s philosophy was and in
\nfact if anything I think he felt<\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:55,100 –> 00:01:57,400
\na bit sorry for them because
\ndespite the fact that he runs <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:57,400 –> 00:02:02,000
\nlike the room there was nothing
\nto take we had nothing of any <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:02,200 –> 00:02:08,500
\nvalue to a thief and it’s one of
\nthe things I loved about my dad <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:08,900 –> 00:02:13,400
\nbecause my dad had no desire or
\nappeal for anything of any value<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:14,300 –> 00:02:16,400
\nand so we never had any such
\nthing. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:16,400 –> 00:02:19,700
\nSo I think it was almost
\ninclined to leave a note and <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:19,700 –> 00:02:23,000
\napologize that it had been a
\nfreak with still a fruitless <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:23,000 –> 00:02:27,900
\nexperience for them and there
\nwas nothing worth taking. and <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:27,900 –> 00:02:30,500
\nthis is an important issue isn’t
\nit now for aspirin sisters, <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:30,500 –> 00:02:34,800
\nbecause When the thief comes,
\nthe question is, is there <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:34,800 –> 00:02:38,800
\nsomething for him to take, you
\nonly feel a sense of loss, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:39,700 –> 00:02:43,300
\nright?
\nIf something is taken from you, <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:43,300 –> 00:02:47,700
\nthat you regret losing, that’s
\nthe challenge for us, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:50,300
\nAnd what we just want to think
\nabout for a few moments? <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:50,300 –> 00:02:54,700
\nNow, before we finish is the
\nthief who is coming, is the Lord<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:54,700 –> 00:02:59,400
\nJesus Christ.
\nHe’s the thief only six times. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:02,700
\nThis little metaphor is used in
\nscripture and they come in three<\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:02,700 –> 00:03:04,700
\npairs.
\nI don’t even notice that there’s<\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:04,700 –> 00:03:10,100
\none in Matthew 24, which is part
\nof the Olivet prophecy which is,<\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:10,200 –> 00:03:12,900
\nwhich is a fundamental It’s
\nreally possible in this <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:13,100 –> 00:03:15,500
\nparticular in this last couple
\nof chapters Thessalonians. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:15,700 –> 00:03:19,100
\nThere’s an almost identical
\nversion in Luke’s gospel <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:19,100 –> 00:03:21,100
\naccounts as well.
\nSo there the two occasions when <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:21,100 –> 00:03:24,800
\nit comes directly from the mouth
\nof the Lord, Jesus Peter repeats<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:24,800 –> 00:03:27,800
\nit for you.
\nRemember, in his letter, Paul <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:30,000
\nrepeats it here, in 1
\nThessalonians 5. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:30,000 –> 00:03:34,100
\nSo you’ve to in the gospels to
\nin the letters and then the last<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:34,100 –> 00:03:37,600
\ntwo of course can be revelation.
\nAnd we just read one of them <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:40,300
\nthere in the letter to Sardis
\nand by the time you get to <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:40,300 –> 00:03:44,200
\nRiver, but in the gospels in the
\nletters, it’s a little bit <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:44,200 –> 00:03:46,600
\noblique, isn’t it?
\nThe day of the Lord is coming <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:46,600 –> 00:03:49,900
\nlike a thief.
\nBy the time you get to the <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:51,500
\nrecord of Revelation, bring
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:51,500 –> 00:03:53,100
\nThere’s no question who the
\nthief is. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:53,900 –> 00:03:57,600
\nI am coming as a thief and it’s
\nJesus speaking in the first <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:57,600 –> 00:04:00,100
\nperson twice.
\nHe says it in the letter to <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:00,100 –> 00:04:04,200
\nSardis that we read in chapter
\n16 and verse 15 of Revelation. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:04,300 –> 00:04:08,000
\nI am coming as a thief and the
\nthing that’s most in fear of <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:11,800
\nbeing lost, is your garments on
\nboth occasions. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:11,900 –> 00:04:13,700
\nBlessed, is he we read in
\nSardis? <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,700
\nWho here?
\nOvercomes will walk with me in <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:16,700 –> 00:04:20,000
\nwhite garments and he revelation
\n16, if you remember it says <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:23,900
\nblessed is he who keeps his
\ngarments so that they do not see<\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:23,900 –> 00:04:27,100
\nhis shame.
\nSo, the thing we’re in most in <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:27,100 –> 00:04:30,600
\nfear of losing friends sisters,
\nas our garments, with all of <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:33,600
\nthat metaphor, that it means in
\nScripture. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:35,200 –> 00:04:36,500
\nBut it’s worth thinking for a
\ncouple of moments. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:36,500 –> 00:04:39,400
\nWhen this is about, we know a
\ncouple of Thieves in the Bible, <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:39,400 –> 00:04:42,100
\ndon’t we?
\nWe’re introduced to a couple of <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:42,100 –> 00:04:48,100
\nThieves Judas were told.
\nWas a thief. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:52,300
\nAnd it, I don’t even remember
\nthe moment when John tells us, <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:52,300 –> 00:04:55,900
\nthat Judas was a thief.
\nJapan, it was. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:57,200 –> 00:05:01,500
\nIt was in it was at that meal.
\nThe resurrection meal that we <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:01,500 –> 00:05:07,300
\nwere looking at yesterday to
\nremember Lazarus come forth And <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:07,300 –> 00:05:10,800
\nsubsequently that evening.
\nJesus sat down for a meal with a<\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:10,808 –> 00:05:15,000
\nman who been raised from the
\ndead and the following day. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:15,000 –> 00:05:18,000
\nThese two great companies would
\ncome out to meet the Lord, <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:18,100 –> 00:05:21,600
\nwaving their palm branches and
\ncrying out, Hosanna blessed, is <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:23,700
\nhe who comes in the name of the
\nLord? <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:23,700 –> 00:05:27,400
\nAnd that evening, there was a
\nwoman who broke a very expensive<\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:27,400 –> 00:05:32,300
\nbox of spite yard.
\nI never even done that. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:32,300 –> 00:05:36,000
\nWho wanted that box?
\nHe said it would have been <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:40,000
\nbetter if we’d have sold this
\nand giving the proceeds to the <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:45,900
\npoor and John said Judas said
\nthat not because he cared for <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:45,900 –> 00:05:49,400
\nthe poor.
\nBut because he was a thief. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:55,500
\nAnd that was on the day of the
\nLord the when Jesus had come and<\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:55,500 –> 00:05:59,500
\ncried Lazarus come forth.
\nAnd there was a man there brand <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:59,500 –> 00:06:02,600
\nsisters, who was a thief and you
\nknow, the result of being in <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:02,608 –> 00:06:06,100
\nthat house that night for that
\nThief was he went away <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:06,100 –> 00:06:10,400
\nempty-handed.
\nHe did not get what he wanted <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:13,900
\nthat night, because the Lord was
\nthere and remember the Lord’s <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:13,900 –> 00:06:16,200
\nanswer.
\nHe said to Judas, and the <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:16,207 –> 00:06:20,500
\ndisciples who were stood around,
\nwhat this woman has done. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:20,500 –> 00:06:25,400
\nShe did, he said for my burial,
\nAnd there was no way the Lord <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:29,300
\nwas going to allow that which
\nthat woman had prepared to be <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:29,300 –> 00:06:32,800
\ntaken by the thief.
\nAnd he left that night, <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:32,800 –> 00:06:36,800
\nprincesses empty-handed and he
\nwent and covenanted to try and <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:36,800 –> 00:06:39,500
\nget some money somewhere else as
\nyou recall. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:41,400 –> 00:06:43,400
\nBut in fact, it was only a
\ncouple of days later as Jesus <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:43,400 –> 00:06:46,100
\nmade his way into Jerusalem that
\nwe meet the next group of <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:46,100 –> 00:06:48,700
\nThieves.
\nDrummer has the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:48,700 –> 00:06:52,400
\nwalked into the temple precincts
\nthere on his last trip into <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:55,800
\nJerusalem and he’s done it.
\nYeah, a couple of years before <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:55,800 –> 00:06:58,900
\nhad me when he first arrived in
\nhis ministry and he cleared out <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:58,900 –> 00:07:02,900
\nthe Temple of those that bought
\nand sold in the temple courts <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:02,900 –> 00:07:05,900
\nthere and he arrived at the
\ntemple for one last time. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:06,200 –> 00:07:08,900
\nAnd in those three and a half
\nyears, when sisters nothing had <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:08,900 –> 00:07:14,500
\nchanged.
\nAnd he took the whips if you <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:14,500 –> 00:07:19,100
\nremember and he turned out those
\nwho were buying and selling in <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:19,100 –> 00:07:23,200
\nthe temple and he said to them
\nthis this house was supposed to <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:27,400
\nbe called by all nations are
\nHouse of Prayer and you have <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:30,500
\nturned it.
\nHe said into a den of Thieves <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:32,100 –> 00:07:35,100
\nAnd again it was in that moment
\nas he rode into Jerusalem, the <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:35,100 –> 00:07:38,900
\nday of the Lord came like a
\nthief and and there was a great <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:38,900 –> 00:07:42,600
\nIrony Brothers, sisters the
\nthieves who made a practice of <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:42,600 –> 00:07:46,000
\nthieving discovered that they
\nwere the ones who are being <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:48,200
\ntheft from.
\nI’m not even sure that’s the <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:48,200 –> 00:07:50,000
\nword.
\nThey were the ones who were <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:50,000 –> 00:07:53,600
\nbeing robbed and stolen because
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ came to <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:53,600 –> 00:07:56,700
\ntake away from them.
\nThe things that they regarded as<\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:56,700 –> 00:08:00,700
\nvaluable the Commerce and and
\ntheir, their their status, and <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:00,700 –> 00:08:03,900
\nthere, there there.
\nLively hoods that were being <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:03,900 –> 00:08:07,400
\nmade out of the practice of what
\nshould have been a Divine, and a<\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:07,407 –> 00:08:10,100
\nholy thing.
\nAnd the Lord Jesus Christ came <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:10,100 –> 00:08:12,800
\nand he took it and he stole it
\nand they came running after him.<\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:16,800
\nBy what Authority do you do
\nthese things, right? <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:18,800 –> 00:08:20,800
\nAnd that’s, that will be a great
\nchallenge for us for the <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:23,000
\nSisters, won’t it on the day.
\nWhen the Lord Jesus comes, <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:23,200 –> 00:08:26,500
\nwhether we’ve got so many things
\nin our life that so valuable to <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:26,500 –> 00:08:31,100
\nus, we don’t want to see them
\nlost or whether in actual fact, <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:31,100 –> 00:08:34,100
\nthe things that are of the most
\nvalue to us of the things that <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:34,100 –> 00:08:37,900
\nJesus will bring with him.
\nBlessed, is he who overcomes? <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:38,000 –> 00:08:41,400
\nAnd he will walk in in new white
\ngarments. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:41,799 –> 00:08:44,000
\nThey are the things that Jesus
\nwill bring with him, right. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:44,900 –> 00:08:47,300
\nAnd all those garments that
\nwe’ve been wearing for all, this<\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:47,300 –> 00:08:51,400
\ntime will be will suddenly be of
\nno value and they’ll be gone. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:55,600
\nAnd that’s the that’s the sense
\nof the loss and their risk here.<\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:56,100 –> 00:08:59,400
\nWhen you want us alone against
\nfive here, the Apostle Paul very<\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:59,400 –> 00:09:05,000
\ncarefully picks up on this.
\nParable from, from the the <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:05,000 –> 00:09:07,900
\nOlivet prophecy.
\nWe just turn week to meet with <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:07,900 –> 00:09:17,900
\nme to it’s in Matthew 24.
\nI wanted to I only had one slide<\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:17,900 –> 00:09:19,600
\nfor you.
\nI didn’t notice to get my slides<\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:19,600 –> 00:09:21,000
\nat yesterday.
\nI’m not going to manage today <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:23,300
\nbecause it’s still not working.
\nDoes that sound like how <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:23,800 –> 00:09:26,000
\ncarefully plan?
\nThis was the only have one slide<\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:26,000 –> 00:09:28,200
\nhere today, which was just to
\nshow you the number of <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:28,500 –> 00:09:31,000
\nreferences.
\nThere are between Paul’s letter <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:31,000 –> 00:09:33,600
\nto the Thessalonians and this
\nthis sort of that prophecy and <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:33,600 –> 00:09:34,700
\nthe other screen for more than
\nthree. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:34,700 –> 00:09:37,500
\nSo I’m sure you can download it
\nlater and to be honest I ain’t <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:39,300
\ngot time to take you through it
\nanyway and I we’ve only got <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:39,300 –> 00:09:42,700
\ndigressed on it, but it worth
\njust going through with your <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:46,400
\nwith your pain and making out of
\nall the Mistakable illusions <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:49,400
\nthat the Apostle Paul makes
\nthere in 1 Thessalonians 4 and <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:49,400 –> 00:09:51,200
\n5.
\nParticularly, if you accept that<\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:51,200 –> 00:09:54,300
\nthe Olivet prophecy extends
\nbeyond the end of Matthew <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:54,300 –> 00:09:58,200
\nchapter 24, and in to Matthew
\nchapter 25, and we’ll just look <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:00,200
\nat couple in a minute, but
\nyou’ll, you’ll have to do the <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:00,200 –> 00:10:02,300
\nhomework.
\nYou sell yourself on afraid to, <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:05,500
\nto pick them up.
\nBut of course, we’ve noticed <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:05,500 –> 00:10:08,500
\nbefore, ready this weekend at
\nthe the Thessalonian motifs are <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:08,500 –> 00:10:09,200
\nhere.
\nAren’t they? <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:09,200 –> 00:10:12,500
\nThe the Lord coming in?
\nThe Clouds of Steven has shared <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:12,500 –> 00:10:17,200
\nwith us with the sound of the
\nTrumpet verse 31, and sending <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:17,200 –> 00:10:21,300
\nhis angels to gather his elect
\nfrom the Four Winds, from one <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:21,300 –> 00:10:26,300
\nend of Heaven to the other.
\nAnd Jesus begins a couple of <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:26,300 –> 00:10:29,200
\nParables.
\nOne of which included here is <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:29,200 –> 00:10:31,200
\nthe thief.
\nAs you come towards the end of <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:34,000
\nthis chapter verse, 43 know
\nthis, that if the Goodman of the<\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:34,000 –> 00:10:36,900
\nhouse had known in, what watch
\nthe thief would come, he would <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:40,200
\nhave watched and not suffered
\nhis house to be broken up. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:40,200 –> 00:10:42,600
\nCan you imagine how surprised
\nthe thief would have been run <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:42,600 –> 00:10:46,100
\nsisters in my hotel in Wales?
\nHaving taken the key off the <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:46,100 –> 00:10:48,600
\nhook and walked in the room.
\nI was sat there waiting for him,<\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:51,500
\nright?
\nWouldn’t that be amazing? <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:51,500 –> 00:10:53,600
\nIf when the Lord comes because
\nthis is a matter of perspective,<\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:53,600 –> 00:10:55,700
\nisn’t it?
\nIt depends on how you see it. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:56,600 –> 00:10:58,800
\nThe Lord is not a thief for
\nthose who have nothing to take <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:58,800 –> 00:11:03,200
\naway, is he?
\nAnd if he comes and finds a sat <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:03,200 –> 00:11:06,600
\nthere as Stephen described, this
\nmorning’s at ready and waiting, <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:06,800 –> 00:11:10,700
\nI’m here, good to go, then
\nthere’s no thieving to be done, <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:10,700 –> 00:11:13,500
\nright?
\nNo loss to be enjoyed, only gain<\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:13,500 –> 00:11:16,000
\nto be had not many.
\nThe thieves come and give you <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:18,700
\ngifts, right?
\nThey normally take the Lord will<\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:18,700 –> 00:11:21,300
\ncome with dual aspect and it
\ndepends on your perspective, <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:21,300 –> 00:11:24,300
\ndoesn’t it?
\nAnd maybe even sisters for us. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:24,700 –> 00:11:27,200
\nAnd that’s the point of that the
\nApostle Paul makes there in 1 <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:30,300
\nThessalonians. 5:4 us, that he
\ndoes not come as a thief. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:30,700 –> 00:11:34,100
\nThat will not be.
\nHow you will experience as the <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:34,100 –> 00:11:39,700
\nApostle Paul the coming of the
\nLord Jesus Christ. but just look<\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:39,700 –> 00:11:44,000
\nat the next Parable, that occurs
\nhere in Matthew chapter 24, <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:52,600
\nVerse 44 BCE also ready for in
\nsuch an hour as ye think. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:52,600 –> 00:11:55,700
\nNot the son of man comes, who
\nthen is a faithful and wise <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:55,700 –> 00:11:58,300
\nservant.
\nWhom his Lord has made ruler <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:58,300 –> 00:12:01,400
\nover his household to give them
\nmeat in due season blessed, is <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:04,300
\nthat servant whom his Lord?
\nWhen he comes, will find. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:04,300 –> 00:12:07,700
\nSo doing verily, verily, I say
\nto you, he will make him ruler <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:07,700 –> 00:12:11,700
\nover all his Goods, so this is
\nthe jewel perception Now, isn’t <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:11,700 –> 00:12:13,200
\nit?
\nThis is what will happen to <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:17,800
\nthose who are ready and waiting.
\nWhen, when the Lord comes But <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:17,900 –> 00:12:25,300
\nverse 48, if that evil servant
\nwill say in his heart, my Lord, <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:25,500 –> 00:12:30,400
\ndelays his coming.
\nAnd I want you to notice that <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:32,600
\nphrase foreign sisters because
\nyou’ve heard it before. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:33,800 –> 00:12:37,500
\nWhere was Jesus?
\nTaking this Parable from my <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:37,500 –> 00:12:43,300
\nLord, delays his coming because
\nthere was a group of people who <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:43,300 –> 00:12:45,900
\nmade this statement brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:47,800 –> 00:12:51,900
\nAnd it’s in Exodus chapter 32,
\nwe just come back with me one <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:51,900 –> 00:12:55,800
\nlast time this weekend to these
\nevents at saini. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:55,800 –> 00:13:04,500
\nI In the record of Exodus.
\nMy Lord, delays his coming. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:07,500 –> 00:13:10,500
\nAnd I believe Jesus picked up
\nphrase, princesses right out of <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:10,500 –> 00:13:15,600
\nExodus, 32 and you’ll spot it
\nstraight away. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:16,100 –> 00:13:18,900
\nMoses being up in the mountain
\nfor 40 days and he’s going to <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:18,900 –> 00:13:23,000
\nreturn to the Wilderness floor
\nand place the golden car and <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:25,800
\njust wave a Dorito slowly.
\nHere it is in verse one, look, <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:26,200 –> 00:13:33,200
\nwhen the people saw that Moses
\ndelayed, Take him down from the <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:33,200 –> 00:13:37,000
\nmountain.
\nIf that evil servant, shall say <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:37,000 –> 00:13:41,400
\nin his heart, my Lord, delays
\nhis coming. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:41,400 –> 00:13:43,300
\nAnd this is, this is what Jesus
\nwas quoting from. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:43,700 –> 00:13:45,600
\nI believe in.
\nI’ll show you why in a second. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:48,900
\nAnd I told you this morning, you
\nhaven’t heard the shout yet, we <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:48,900 –> 00:13:52,300
\nheard the voice of the Archangel
\nand we heard the first trumpet <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:52,500 –> 00:13:54,400
\nin a moment.
\nYou’re going to hear the shouts,<\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:54,700 –> 00:13:57,600
\nwhich completes Paul’s Trilogy
\none person alone, Ian’s five. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:59,500 –> 00:14:02,500
\nAnd the thing that was going to
\nprecipitate it rinses was there <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:02,500 –> 00:14:05,100
\nwas a generation of people here
\non the Wilderness floor who <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:05,100 –> 00:14:08,500
\nheard the trumpet, they heard
\nthe voice of the Angel, speaking<\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:08,500 –> 00:14:12,300
\nout of the midst of the fire and
\nwhen they saw Moses disappear up<\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:12,300 –> 00:14:16,300
\ninto that cloud you know and you
\ncan see all the images now can’t<\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:17,900
\nyou.
\nThis is what the Lord descending<\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:17,900 –> 00:14:20,500
\nfor the first time, a Steve’s
\ntaking us through this weekend <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:20,600 –> 00:14:25,400
\nand their conclusion after six
\nweeks was my Lord, delays his <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:25,400 –> 00:14:29,000
\ncoming and the direct effect,
\nthe impact of that. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:29,200 –> 00:14:32,900
\nSeason of my Lord delays his
\ncoming was well come on. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:37,600
\nLet’s let’s check our stuff in
\nthe fire and make us Gods which <\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:37,600 –> 00:14:40,600
\nwill take us back to Egypt.
\nThat was the outcome of that <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:40,600 –> 00:14:43,600
\nbelief.
\nMy Lord delays his coming. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:43,700 –> 00:14:46,800
\nNow just come back.
\nA couple of pages to to Exodus <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:46,800 –> 00:14:51,200
\nchapter 24.
\nJust just listen to the very <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:51,200 –> 00:14:55,600
\nlast thing that Moses said to
\nthem before he was taken up from<\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:55,600 –> 00:15:00,800
\nthem into the cloud.
\nExodus chapter 24. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:00,800 –> 00:15:02,800
\nYou remember this extraordinary
\nscene? <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:02,900 –> 00:15:06,700
\nIt’s almost as if Moses conducts
\na Breaking of bread service and <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:06,700 –> 00:15:09,300
\nmemorial service here in Exodus
\n24 is here. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:09,300 –> 00:15:13,100
\nX 12 pillars around an altar
\nwith the oxygen in the bullets <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:13,100 –> 00:15:17,000
\nand he offers the the the burnt
\noffering in the peace offering <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:17,100 –> 00:15:20,100
\nand he has everybody a watching
\nand he takes the blood and he <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:20,100 –> 00:15:22,200
\nsprinkles it.
\nAnd these are the words that are<\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:22,200 –> 00:15:26,000
\nused in Hebrews, aren’t they?
\nTo describe the foretaste of the<\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:27,600
\nNew Covenant.
\nThese are the words that Jesus <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:27,600 –> 00:15:30,100
\nhimself used here.
\nExodus 24. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:30,100 –> 00:15:34,100
\nThe Last Supper, this is my
\nblood of the New Covenant, which<\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:34,100 –> 00:15:37,000
\nis poured out for you.
\nAnd he picks those words right <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:37,000 –> 00:15:39,900
\nout of Exodus 24.
\nThis this memorial service that <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:39,900 –> 00:15:43,700
\nMoses holes here on the
\nWilderness floor in the sight of<\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:43,700 –> 00:15:46,500
\nall the people.
\nAnd at the end of that Moses in <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:46,500 –> 00:15:50,700
\nverse 13 Rises up on his
\nMinister Joshua and Moses went <\/p>\n
269

\nup into the Mountain of God and
\nthese were the last words, Moses<\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:57,500
\nsaid to the elders as he left
\nand are on Mount Sinai. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:57,500 –> 00:16:06,900
\nI Verse 14, Terry here for us.
\nUntil we come again unto you. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:12,200
\nAnd in verse 15 Moses went up
\ninto the mount and a cloud, <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:15,900
\ncovered them out and the glory
\nof the Lord Abode upon Mount <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:15,900 –> 00:16:18,900
\nSinai I can you see this lovely
\nimage that’s being played out <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:18,900 –> 00:16:21,100
\nhere.
\nThis is the Ascension of the <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:21,100 –> 00:16:26,300
\nLord Jesus Christ, isn’t it?
\nWait for me are the same Jesus <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:30,000
\nwhom you saw taking it from.
\nYou will so come in like manner <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:30,000 –> 00:16:34,000
\nas you saw him go and what was
\nMoses going up to receive what <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:37,800
\nwhat what Phil’s Exodus chapters
\nend of 24. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:38,000 –> 00:16:40,800
\nWay through to Exodus 31, it’s
\nthe receipt of the Tabernacle, <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:43,000
\nisn’t it?
\nI’m going to prepare a place for<\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:43,000 –> 00:16:45,700
\nyou.
\nI’m going to prepare a place in <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:45,700 –> 00:16:48,100
\nthe father’s house and that’s
\nwhy God repeatedly. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:48,100 –> 00:16:50,900
\nAnd those chapters said to
\nMoses, didn’t it make sure you <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:50,900 –> 00:16:53,800
\nmake it exactly.
\nAccording to the pattern, in my <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:53,800 –> 00:16:56,500
\nfather’s house are many mansions
\nas I will come and receive you <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:56,500 –> 00:17:00,200
\nunto myself, and they’re very
\nmethod of the Bringing Down the <\/p>\n
288
\n00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:04,900
\npattern of the Tabernacle for
\nfrom Moses, it in papal, type <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:04,900 –> 00:17:08,400
\nwas so that God could build a
\nsanctuary for him and Is people <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:08,400 –> 00:17:10,800
\nto be together there?
\nThat’s what mostly got up to <\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:10,800 –> 00:17:12,800
\nreceive.
\nAnd he came down with all of <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:12,800 –> 00:17:15,400
\nthat pattern in his head.
\nDidn’t he carrying the tables of<\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:15,400 –> 00:17:21,200
\nthe testimony?
\nAnemic chapter 32 and verse 1. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:21,200 –> 00:17:27,300
\nWhen the people saw that Moses
\ndelayed my Lord, delays his <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:27,300 –> 00:17:30,300
\ncoming during what Jesus turned
\nthat into in this, Parable, in <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:30,700 –> 00:17:34,200
\nMatthew 24, if that evil servant
\nwill say in his heart, my Lord <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:34,200 –> 00:17:37,100
\ndelays his coming and he says
\nthat they end up getting drunk <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:37,100 –> 00:17:39,900
\nand beating each other up and
\ndoing the very opposite of <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:39,900 –> 00:17:41,600
\nbuilding one.
\nAnother up, they beat one <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:41,600 –> 00:17:45,200
\nanother and as Moses climbs
\ndown, Mount Sinai here, of <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:49,000
\ncourse, he he Witnesses the
\nthings that are going on here on<\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:54,600
\nWilderness floor.
\nAnd now you need to hear the <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:54,600 –> 00:18:00,200
\nshout. and you know it, you know
\nit ever so well when Moses saw <\/p>\n
304
\n00:18:00,200 –> 00:18:04,700
\nthe dancing and the calf, it
\nsaid his anger, waxed hot, and <\/p>\n
305
\n00:18:04,700 –> 00:18:07,100
\nhe broke the tablets and he
\nstood up in the camp and he <\/p>\n
306
\n00:18:07,100 –> 00:18:13,600
\ncried So we’ve heard the sound
\nof the trumpet, the voice of the<\/p>\n
307
\n00:18:13,600 –> 00:18:15,400
\nArchangel.
\nNow you’re going to hear the <\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:15,400 –> 00:18:19,200
\nshout.
\nWho is on the Lord’s Side? <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:20,100 –> 00:18:23,300
\nThat was the shout that Israel
\nheard from sisters when the Lord<\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:23,300 –> 00:18:26,800
\ncame and the Lord whom you seek
\nwill suddenly come. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:30,500
\nAnd he came and he came with
\nvengeance who is on the Lord’s <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:30,500 –> 00:18:33,400
\nSide and it wasn’t everybody
\nthat came was it runs? <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:33,400 –> 00:18:35,200
\nThis is when that shout was
\nheard. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:35,200 –> 00:18:37,500
\nIt didn’t penetrate.
\nThe years of everybody did it <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:37,508 –> 00:18:40,200
\nwho was it?
\nThat came to Moses side. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:43,900
\nCan you remember it was the
\nLevites and on that very day <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:43,900 –> 00:18:46,100
\nburn sisters.
\nWhen the Levites came to be with<\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:46,100 –> 00:18:48,000
\nMoses?
\nGod said, I will make a covenant<\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:48,000 –> 00:18:50,700
\nwith you.
\nThat will be in Lasting <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:50,700 –> 00:18:55,000
\ngovernance of priesthood and
\nthey got it burn sisters because<\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:55,000 –> 00:18:59,900
\nwhen they heard the shout of the
\ncoming Lord, they responded and <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:59,900 –> 00:19:02,700
\nthey came and they made
\nthemselves available. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:19:03,300 –> 00:19:05,100
\nAnd the next thing knows he said
\nwas good. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:05,100 –> 00:19:07,800
\nYeah.
\nEvery man, his sword by his side<\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:08,500 –> 00:19:12,200
\nand take Vengeance on your
\nbrethren and put out this evil <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:12,200 –> 00:19:15,100
\nfrom the camp.
\nI mean, you can’t miss that the <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:15,100 –> 00:19:18,500
\nmagic of the this unfolding
\ndrama. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:18,500 –> 00:19:21,000
\nCan you hear it?
\nIn This Moment. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:21,000 –> 00:19:23,100
\nWell, come with me, finding them
\nback to the New Testament, back <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:23,100 –> 00:19:25,600
\nto the Olivet prophecy in
\nMatthew 25. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:25,600 –> 00:19:29,200
\nAs I believe Matthew the Lord,
\nJesus story continues his <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:29,700 –> 00:19:34,200
\ndiscourse of them.
\nOf the Olivet prophecy into <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:34,200 –> 00:19:37,100
\nMatthew 25.
\nAnd we said this morning, we’ve <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:37,100 –> 00:19:40,400
\nheard the two of the three
\nmotifs in Matthew 24. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:40,400 –> 00:19:42,000
\nYou’ve got the sound of the
\ntrumpet. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:42,000 –> 00:19:44,700
\nYou’ve got the Angels Gathering,
\nthe elect, from the Four Winds <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:44,700 –> 00:19:47,400
\nof Heaven.
\nWhat about the shout then in the<\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:47,400 –> 00:19:49,800
\nOlivet prophecy?
\nWhere was the Apostle Paul <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:49,800 –> 00:19:52,500
\ntaking that from?
\nWell, it’s in chapter 25, I <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:52,500 –> 00:19:54,400
\nthink brothers sisters, and
\nagain, you know, whatever. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:54,400 –> 00:19:58,300
\nSo well because it’s buried in a
\nlittle, another little parable, <\/p>\n
342
\n00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:02,700
\nVerse 1 of Matthew 25.
\nThe kingdom of heaven will be <\/p>\n
343
\n00:20:02,700 –> 00:20:08,400
\nlikened unto ten virgins, which
\ntook their lamps and went forth <\/p>\n
344
\n00:20:08,800 –> 00:20:11,400
\nto meet the bridegroom.
\nIsn’t that lovely? <\/p>\n
345
\n00:20:11,600 –> 00:20:14,500
\nThat’s the words of the Apostle
\nPaul isn’t in 1 Thessalonians 4 <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:16,800
\nthat with that.
\nWhen the bridegroom comes they <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:16,800 –> 00:20:19,300
\nwill go out to meet him.
\nThat’s what we’ve been talking <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:19,300 –> 00:20:20,600
\nabout.
\nAll weekend, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:20,800 –> 00:20:23,700
\nThat’s what they were waiting
\nfor these these these virgins. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:23,700 –> 00:20:26,700
\nThey were waiting for the
\nbridegroom to arrive and he was <\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:26,700 –> 00:20:30,500
\nlate.
\nDifferent in eastern culture, <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:30,600 –> 00:20:33,900
\nnormal.
\nThe bride’s late for us. but the<\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:33,900 –> 00:20:39,300
\nLord delayed his coming or so
\nthey thought, And you notice <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:39,300 –> 00:20:40,700
\nwhat happened.
\nDo you remember what happened to<\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:40,708 –> 00:20:43,800
\nthose virgins burn sisters?
\nIt says in verse 5, while the <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:43,800 –> 00:20:49,000
\nbridegroom tarried, they all
\nslumbered and slept and this is <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:49,008 –> 00:20:51,200
\nthe metaphor now of 1
\nThessalonians 4, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:58,100
\nBut at a very specific time at
\nmidnight, there was a cry and it<\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:58,100 –> 00:21:00,300
\nwoke every single one of those
\nvirgins. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:21:01,200 –> 00:21:05,100
\nNobody, nobody missed the cry.
\nThey didn’t all of oil in their <\/p>\n
361
\n00:21:05,100 –> 00:21:09,200
\nlamps but none of them, none of
\nthem missed the sound of the <\/p>\n
362
\n00:21:09,200 –> 00:21:14,400
\nshout at midnight verse 6.
\nThere was a cry made and here he<\/p>\n
363
\n00:21:14,400 –> 00:21:15,700
\ncomes.
\nThis was the cry. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:21:15,700 –> 00:21:18,100
\nThis was the shout that the
\nApostle Paul I think was <\/p>\n
365
\n00:21:18,100 –> 00:21:22,900
\nreferring to and here it comes.
\nBehold the bridegroom cometh. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:21:24,100 –> 00:21:27,700
\nGo ye out to meet him.
\nThat’s 1 Thessalonians 4, isn’t <\/p>\n
367
\n00:21:27,700 –> 00:21:31,800
\nit Go ye out to meet him and
\nonly half of them brothers <\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:31,800 –> 00:21:35,400
\nsisters made it into that
\nmarriage Feast. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:35,400 –> 00:21:43,200
\nWhen the bridegroom came Well,
\nour weekend reaches, its end <\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:43,200 –> 00:21:46,500
\nthen will you just end with me
\nand Luke’s account of this same <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:46,500 –> 00:21:50,700
\naccount just in Luke’s gospel?
\nBecause as we leave this weekend<\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:50,700 –> 00:21:55,700
\nrun sisters, we just have to get
\nour perspectives in check, don’t<\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:55,700 –> 00:21:57,300
\nwe?
\nAs we leave this place and as <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:57,300 –> 00:22:01,400
\nyou face your life and I face
\nmind tomorrow, it’s about our <\/p>\n
375
\n00:22:01,400 –> 00:22:04,300
\nperspective isn’t it as to how
\nwe see the Lord coming. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:22:04,600 –> 00:22:07,400
\nWhether we see him coming to
\ngive us salvation and <\/p>\n
377
\n00:22:07,400 –> 00:22:09,700
\nRedemption.
\nYou know, whether we hear the <\/p>\n
378
\n00:22:09,700 –> 00:22:14,000
\njoyful sound of the trumpet call
\nor whether we see a thief coming<\/p>\n
379
\n00:22:14,500 –> 00:22:17,100
\nand we’re fearful of those
\nthings, he will take from us <\/p>\n
380
\n00:22:17,100 –> 00:22:19,100
\nwhen he comes and we hear the
\nAir Raids. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:22:19,300 –> 00:22:21,300
\nByron, you know, that’s the
\nchoice. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:22:21,300 –> 00:22:25,300
\nWe’ve got to make and only we
\ncan make that choice. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:22:25,300 –> 00:22:25,900
\nCome with.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:25,900 –> 00:22:29,300
\nOnly.
\nWe can know that the priorities <\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:29,300 –> 00:22:32,500
\nthat we’ve made in our lives and
\nthe dedication of our hearts and<\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:32,500 –> 00:22:36,600
\nMinds is sufficient to a degree
\nthat we can rely enough on the <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:36,600 –> 00:22:38,600
\ngrace of God.
\nThat when we hear that shouts <\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:38,800 –> 00:22:41,700
\nand where we hear that trumpet,
\nit will fill us with joy. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:41,700 –> 00:22:44,100
\nAnd I want you to notice the
\npronouns that Luke uses, Luke <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:44,100 –> 00:22:49,800
\nchapter 21 and verse 25.
\nAnd I think I used to To panic <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:49,800 –> 00:22:51,800
\nas a child.
\nAgain, this was a common Sunday <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:51,800 –> 00:22:55,500
\nevening lecture chapter when I
\nwas a kid about men’s Hearts, <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:55,500 –> 00:22:58,500
\nfailing them for fear.
\nAnd I remember thinking, oh boy,<\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:58,700 –> 00:23:01,500
\nI maybe I need to be maybe I
\nneed to be in that boat, you <\/p>\n
395
\n00:23:01,500 –> 00:23:04,600
\nknow, when the Lord comes, I
\nneed to be absolutely trembling <\/p>\n
396
\n00:23:04,600 –> 00:23:07,600
\nin my boots.
\nThat’s that’s how it ought to <\/p>\n
397
\n00:23:07,600 –> 00:23:10,600
\nbe.
\nBut when you read carefully, the<\/p>\n
398
\n00:23:10,600 –> 00:23:12,100
\npronouns he ever anticipate
\ncourse. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:23:12,100 –> 00:23:18,000
\nThat’s not how it ought to be.
\nThere will be signs verse 25 in <\/p>\n
400
\n00:23:18,000 –> 00:23:20,600
\nthe Sun, and in the moon, and in
\nthe stars and upon the Earth <\/p>\n
401
\n00:23:20,600 –> 00:23:23,500
\ndistress of nations with
