2
\n00:00:03,300 –> 00:00:10,500
\nus on the topic, Jesus really is
\ncoming back, but when Next one. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:25,200 –> 00:00:30,400
\nAfternoon, everybody.
\nJust make this check again to <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:30,400 –> 00:00:32,400
\nmake sure you’ve not all not at
\nall. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:32,400 –> 00:00:35,800
\nYet, you’ve got time.
\nJust hang on for a while. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:36,200 –> 00:00:38,400
\nSome of you, some of you, I will
\nknow. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:38,500 –> 00:00:42,000
\nAnd some of you will know me,
\nbut I’m looking around the room <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:43,900
\nand I can recognize one or two
\nphases. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:45,500 –> 00:00:47,400
\nThat doesn’t mean I’m going to
\ntalk particularly those who I <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:47,400 –> 00:00:51,000
\ndon’t know or do those.
\nI do, but I’m just pleased to <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:53,300
\nsee some places.
\nI do recognize and if you’re not<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:53,300 –> 00:00:55,200
\nspoken to me yet, please make
\nsure you do. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:56,000 –> 00:00:58,400
\nIn case you owe me anything,
\nanything like that. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:03,200 –> 00:01:05,600
\nThis is probably the most
\nimportant subject, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:05,600 –> 00:01:07,900
\nThat we might think about today,
\nI don’t know what you thought <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:07,900 –> 00:01:10,900
\nabout today.
\nSince you woke up. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:13,900 –> 00:01:20,600
\nJesus really is coming back, but
\nwhen Is that that has that even <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:20,600 –> 00:01:25,200
\ncrossed your mind today up until
\nthis point here, we are at what <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:25,200 –> 00:01:29,000
\n2:15 in the afternoon.
\nHas it even crossed our mind <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:29,300 –> 00:01:32,300
\nanything to do with the return
\nof the Lord Jesus. <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:32,300 –> 00:01:37,900
\nWhen you woke up.
\nIn all honesty, you answer this <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:37,900 –> 00:01:42,200
\nfor yourself when you woke up.
\nDid you think for a split second<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:47,200
\nthat it could have been today?
\nYou just answer this for <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:47,200 –> 00:01:49,500
\nyourself.
\nYou know what the answer is? <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:52,500
\nDid you think that it could be
\ntoday? <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:53,900 –> 00:01:56,500
\nNow Gordon said, you know, this
\nis a subject that we know pretty<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:56,500 –> 00:02:00,500
\ngood and I suspect that if I
\nsaid to you could you just give <\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:00,500 –> 00:02:03,400
\nme a few verses.
\nCould you give me a few ideas? <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:06,800
\nCould you give me a few themes
\nabout the return of Jesus? <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:11,700
\nI am probably a hundred percent
\nsure that everybody in this room<\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:12,100 –> 00:02:17,400
\ncould could give a list.
\nWhich is strange. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:18,900 –> 00:02:21,600
\nWhen you answered that question
\nyour head. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:22,700 –> 00:02:27,000
\nI’m pretty sure not 100% of us
\nsaid, yep, I thought about that <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:27,000 –> 00:02:29,200
\nthis morning.
\nIn fact, I thought about it a <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:29,200 –> 00:02:33,200
\nfew times because I’m so
\nconvinced and certain Jesus <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:33,200 –> 00:02:36,600
\ncoming back and that it could be
\nimminent that I think about it <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:36,600 –> 00:02:38,800
\nevery day.
\nAnd usually, when I wake up, <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:38,800 –> 00:02:41,300
\nit’s one of the first things
\nthat crosses my mind another day<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:41,300 –> 00:02:43,100
\nhas gone by and Jesus isn’t
\nhere. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:44,800 –> 00:02:47,500
\nSo it might know these things at
\nan intellectual level. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:48,900 –> 00:02:51,600
\nWe might appreciate them, we
\nmight be able to quote all sorts<\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:51,600 –> 00:02:55,400
\nof verses but this isn’t
\npreparing for our exams are <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:55,400 –> 00:02:57,700
\ngrades.
\nThis isn’t this isn’t about <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:01,400
\nbeing able to demonstrate that.
\nWe know that Jesus is really <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:01,400 –> 00:03:05,700
\ncoming back.
\nThis is about do you really <\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:05,900 –> 00:03:10,300
\nreally know he’s coming back in
\nsuch a way that an emotional <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:10,300 –> 00:03:14,200
\nlevel at a personal level is
\nactually changing the sort of <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:14,200 –> 00:03:17,700
\nperson that you are and it
\nshapes what your day looks like,<\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:17,700 –> 00:03:21,300
\nwhat your life looks.
\nLike so it’s not just about <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:21,300 –> 00:03:23,500
\ndoing no it and can I give a few
\nverses? <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:31,000
\nDo you really really believe it?
\nAnd did you think it might? <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:31,000 –> 00:03:32,800
\nDo you still think it might be
\ntoday? <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:34,700 –> 00:03:37,600
\nHere we are talking about it.
\nAnd is it going to be in the <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:37,600 –> 00:03:41,000
\nnext hour that Jesus is back?
\nWould you be? <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:42,100 –> 00:03:45,700
\nYeah, you’d be surprised.
\nBut would you have expected it? <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:48,400
\nDid it cross your mind that it
\nwas possible? <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:49,500 –> 00:03:51,900
\nAnd I suspect, you know, that
\nbecause we might talk about this<\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:51,900 –> 00:03:55,700
\na lot and with our parents and
\nour grandparents, I suspect <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:55,700 –> 00:03:59,000
\neveryone in this room has had
\nlots of conversations with their<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:01,900
\nparents or their grandparents,
\nor with their Sunday school <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:01,900 –> 00:04:05,500
\nteachers or with other people in
\nthe, in the Ecclesia about the <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:05,500 –> 00:04:08,700
\nreturn of Jesus.
\nI’m sure you have. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:12,700
\nAnd therefore, you know, that
\nJesus is coming back at that <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:12,700 –> 00:04:17,899
\nlevel that intellectual level,
\nbut I’m wondering as this <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:17,899 –> 00:04:20,600
\nafternoon, just to push that a
\nlittle bit further. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:22,600 –> 00:04:25,200
\nAnd I hope that the, the time
\nthat we spend, we’ve got two, <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:29,200
\ntwo, two, two, two.
\nTwo talks to to explore this. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:29,200 –> 00:04:33,100
\nFirstly, when is he coming back?
\nAnd that’s where we are. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:33,100 –> 00:04:36,100
\nGoing to focus.
\nNow, when is he coming back? <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:36,100 –> 00:04:39,100
\nSo if I was to say to you, so
\ngive me a verse. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:40,200 –> 00:04:43,500
\nFrom scripture that is absolute
\nevidence for you. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:46,000
\nThat, you know, that Jesus must
\ncome back. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:48,700
\nJust in your head, what is it?
\nOr write it down. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:48,700 –> 00:04:50,700
\nWhat’s the verse that you would
\ngive right now? <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:51,100 –> 00:04:53,600
\nOkay, if I stopped you on the
\nstreet and said so once told me <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:53,600 –> 00:04:56,700
\nthat Jesus is coming back and it
\nsays, in the Bible, can you show<\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:56,700 –> 00:04:57,700
\nme?
\nWhere would you go? <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:57,700 –> 00:04:59,400
\nJust where is it?
\nWhere would you go? <\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:00,100 –> 00:05:03,000
\nWhat verse would you show them?
\nWe got a verse in your head or <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:04,800
\nwrite the first, the reference
\ndown. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:04,800 –> 00:05:07,200
\nWhat’s the verse that you would
\nuse that? <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:07,200 –> 00:05:09,300
\nYou would say, I know that Jesus
\nis coming back. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:09,300 –> 00:05:12,600
\nI know he’s really Coming back,
\nbecause this is what it says <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:15,400
\nhere.
\nLet me show you now, if you <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:15,400 –> 00:05:18,300
\nhaven’t got a verse in your
\nhead, that’s not a bad thing. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:18,300 –> 00:05:20,900
\nBut if you haven’t got a verse
\nin your head, I wonder why you <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:25,000
\nhaven’t got a verse in yet.
\nBecause if you want this book <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:25,100 –> 00:05:28,300
\nand almighty God, to shape the
\nlife that we live and he’s <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:28,300 –> 00:05:31,900
\ncommunicated to or through this
\nbook, we should really know what<\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:31,900 –> 00:05:34,900
\nhe’s telling us about the coming
\nof his son. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:35,900 –> 00:05:41,500
\nNow, here’s a verse.
\nWas this the verse was that? <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:41,500 –> 00:05:43,400
\nGood hands up, those who came
\nwith that verse. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:44,600 –> 00:05:46,100
\nOkay, good.
\nSo, we’ve got plenty of other <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:46,100 –> 00:05:48,300
\nverses that you can share with
\nme when we have a break, but <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:48,300 –> 00:05:52,000
\nthere’s a verse men of Galilee.
\nWhy do you stand gazing up into <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:53,100
\nheaven?
\nThe same. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:53,100 –> 00:05:55,200
\nJesus, who was taken up from you
\ninto heaven? <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:55,300 –> 00:05:59,100
\nWill so come in, like manner as
\nyou have seen him go into <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:59,100 –> 00:06:04,000
\nheaven, that’s the promise.
\nThat was made by the Angels. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:08,400
\nWhen Jesus ascended into heaven,
\ncan just open your Bibles with <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:08,400 –> 00:06:18,000
\nme at that section. in Acts
\nchapter 1, And the point we want<\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:22,000
\nto bring out here is just
\nimagine if you had been with the<\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:24,900
\nLord Jesus after his
\nresurrection, you had spent the <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:27,300
\nbest part of six weeks in his
\ncompany. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:28,000 –> 00:06:31,700
\nYou would you had been with him
\nas he as he traveled and taught <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:31,700 –> 00:06:33,800
\nthe people for maybe three
\nyears. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:34,600 –> 00:06:37,200
\nHe’s now been crucified, he has
\nbeen raised back to life and <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:37,200 –> 00:06:40,100
\nyour now have had six with six
\nweeks with him. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:40,800 –> 00:06:43,900
\nWhile he’s been speaking to you
\nabout his kingdom and about <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:43,900 –> 00:06:47,000
\nGod’s master plan, for what’s
\ngoing to happen and his Part in <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:49,600
\nit.
\nSo if we look in Acts chapter 1,<\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:53,700 –> 00:06:59,100
\nthe disciples are with Jesus.
\nAnd despite all the conversation<\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:59,900 –> 00:07:04,600
\nand all the explanation.
\nThe discussion goes like this. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:06,000 –> 00:07:10,100
\nDown at verse 6.
\nTherefore, when they had come <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:10,100 –> 00:07:12,200
\ntogether, the apostles are come
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:12,700 –> 00:07:14,700
\nThey asked him, they asked
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:16,100 –> 00:07:19,600
\nLord.
\nWill you at this time restore <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:19,600 –> 00:07:24,800
\nthe kingdom to Israel?
\nSo they knew that there’s going <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:24,800 –> 00:07:26,900
\nto be a kingdom established
\nthat, and they knew that Jesus <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:26,900 –> 00:07:29,700
\nwas going to be king and was
\ngoing to establish that Kingdom.<\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:30,800 –> 00:07:34,500
\nBut when wasn’t quite clear, it
\nwasn’t quite sorted in their <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:34,500 –> 00:07:38,200
\nminds.
\nIt wasn’t absolutely understood.<\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:38,200 –> 00:07:43,000
\nAnd so Jesus says to them it’s
\nnot for you to know the times or<\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:43,000 –> 00:07:47,800
\nSeasons which the father has put
\nin his own authority but you <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:47,800 –> 00:07:51,000
\nshall receive power with the
\nHoly Spirit when he comes to you<\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:54,500
\nand you should be a witness to
\nme in Jerusalem and in all Judea<\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:54,500 –> 00:07:58,300
\nand Samaria and to the end of
\nthe world, as a job to do to go <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:58,300 –> 00:08:02,100
\nand tell the world about me and
\nabout this King. but right now, <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:02,100 –> 00:08:04,400
\nthis kind of isn’t being
\nestablished, it’s not for you to<\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:09,100
\nknow when It’s not for you to
\nknow when these are the apostles<\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:09,400 –> 00:08:14,800
\nand they didn’t know when. so
\nthe chances are if they didn’t <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:14,800 –> 00:08:19,800
\nknow when, That you and I are
\ngoing to struggle. with knowing <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:31,000
\nwhen in fact, Jesus said, of the
\nday and hour, no one knows not <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:31,000 –> 00:08:38,400
\neven the angels, but my father
\nonly When I read verses like <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:43,000
\nthat and and maybe you’re the
\nsame, you ask yourself a really <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:44,200 –> 00:08:48,800
\nfundamental question. if you
\never asked yourself this <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:55,100
\nquestion, Why hasn’t the Lord
\nrevealed to us when Jesus will <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:55,100 –> 00:08:58,500
\ncome back?
\nYou see there’s lots of <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:58,500 –> 00:09:02,200
\noccasions in scripture when we
\nare given information about <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:02,200 –> 00:09:04,600
\nevents.
\nThat would happen with some <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:10,000
\ndegree of precision and timing
\nand waited just look at an <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:10,000 –> 00:09:15,700
\nexample with me, if you go back
\nto the Book of Genesis Right. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:15,700 –> 00:09:22,100
\nBack to the time of Abraham.
\nGenesis 15. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:35,700 –> 00:09:37,900
\nHere’s God, revealing things to
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:39,000 –> 00:09:43,700
\nOkay, so we their Genesis 15.
\nWe’re going to start reading at <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:43,700 –> 00:09:47,100
\nverse 12.
\nWhen the sun was going down a <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:47,108 –> 00:09:51,000
\ndeep sleep, fell upon Abram and
\nbehold, horror and great <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:51,000 –> 00:09:55,500
\nDarkness fell upon him.
\nAnd then, he said to Abraham. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:57,000 –> 00:10:02,300
\nNo, certainly that your
\ndescendants will be strangers in<\/p>\n
150
\n00:10:02,300 –> 00:10:04,800
\na land.
\nThat is not theirs. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:10:06,400 –> 00:10:13,600
\nAnd will serve them and they
\nwill afflict them 400 use. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:10:14,500 –> 00:10:17,400
\nSo this is God saying to Abraham
\nIsrael, as a nation. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:17,600 –> 00:10:21,100
\nThe people, the sons, the family
\nof Jacob, they’re going to go <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:21,100 –> 00:10:24,700
\ndown to Egypt, they’re going to
\nbecome their of people who were <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:24,700 –> 00:10:27,100
\ngoing to dwell there for 400
\nyears. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:28,100 –> 00:10:32,200
\nAnd then at the appointed time,
\nthey will be released. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:36,300
\nAnd if you just turn over into
\nExodus, And chapter 12. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:44,200 –> 00:10:46,200
\nIt’s recorded for us at winners
\nof people. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:46,200 –> 00:10:55,800
\nThey come out of Egypt.
\nDown at verse 40. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:57,700 –> 00:11:00,000
\nNow, the sergeant of the
\nchildren of Israel who lived in <\/p>\n
161
\n00:11:00,000 –> 00:11:07,600
\nEgypt was 430 years and it came
\nto pass at the end of 430 years <\/p>\n
162
\n00:11:07,600 –> 00:11:11,900
\non that very same day, it came
\nto pass that all the armies of <\/p>\n
163
\n00:11:11,908 –> 00:11:14,600
\nthe Lord went out from the land
\nof Egypt. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:11:15,300 –> 00:11:20,200
\nSo this is just an example of
\nhow God gives big pieces of <\/p>\n
165
\n00:11:20,200 –> 00:11:23,300
\ninformation about big events to
\ndo with his people. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:11:25,500 –> 00:11:28,900
\nQuite precise and it’s
\ninteresting to isn’t it. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:28,900 –> 00:11:32,400
\nThat when we come across in the
\nNew Testament, when Jesus is to <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:36,900
\nbe born, we find that there are
\nwise men who are looking for <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:36,900 –> 00:11:41,700
\nhim, we come across individuals,
\nlike Anna, who are waiting and <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:41,700 –> 00:11:44,700
\nexpecting a messiah to come into
\nthe world. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:45,800 –> 00:11:49,900
\nAnd God has given all sorts of
\nproofs of his existence and of <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:49,908 –> 00:11:53,200
\nhis power through the prophets.
\nWhen remember, they’ve declared <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:53,200 –> 00:11:56,500
\nthings will happen, and the test
\nwas, if it happened, then you <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:56,500 –> 00:11:58,200
\nwould know that it had come from
\nGod. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:59,000 –> 00:12:04,200
\nSo it’s not that God can’t tell
\nus when There are occasions when<\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:04,200 –> 00:12:07,300
\nGod does tell with some
\nPrecision when things are going <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:07,300 –> 00:12:10,100
\nto come to pass.
\nBut when it comes to the return <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:10,100 –> 00:12:15,600
\nof the Lord Jesus, we haven’t
\nbeen told so we come back to the<\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:15,600 –> 00:12:28,700
\nquestion, why are we not told
\nwhen How about this? <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:30,800 –> 00:12:35,200
\nThis is from an unusual version.
\nMen of Galilee, why do you stand<\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:35,200 –> 00:12:36,400
\ngazing up into heaven?
\nThe same. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:36,400 –> 00:12:38,200
\nJesus, who was taken up from you
\ninto heaven? <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:38,400 –> 00:12:41,200
\nShall so come in, like manner.
\nAs you have seen him go into <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:41,200 –> 00:12:43,200
\nheaven, in around 2000 years
\ntime. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:46,400 –> 00:12:50,000
\nImagine if that was what the
\ntext had said, if that’s what <\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:57,200
\nhad been said to those apostles.
\nHow would you have felt had you <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:57,200 –> 00:13:01,700
\nbeen the likes of Peter?
\nGoing out into the streets of <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:01,700 –> 00:13:05,200
\nJerusalem and telling people
\nabout the Lord Jesus. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:06,700 –> 00:13:10,000
\nCould you imagine how if we were
\ntold that? <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:10,100 –> 00:13:14,500
\nWhich clearly we’re not in
\nScripture, but if if we had been<\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:14,500 –> 00:13:17,400
\ntold, there’s going to be a
\nperiod of time before Jesus <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:17,400 –> 00:13:19,600
\ncomes back.
\nWhat do you think that would <\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:19,600 –> 00:13:22,800
\nhave done for the generations
\nthat have followed? <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:23,300 –> 00:13:26,000
\nWhere’s the incentive to be
\nready for the Lord? <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:28,800
\nJesus.
\nWhere’s the incentive to preach?<\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:28,800 –> 00:13:32,700
\nThat Jesus has come and give it
\nso distant and it seems so far <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:32,700 –> 00:13:36,200
\nremoved from my experience.
\nIt’s not in my lifetime. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:37,400 –> 00:13:41,300
\nBut what this does bite by, not
\ntelling us, when it means that <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:41,300 –> 00:13:45,600
\nfor you, and for me, Jesus could
\ncome back in our lifetime, <\/p>\n
200
\n00:13:46,200 –> 00:13:49,000
\nthat’s what it means.
\nAnd I think the way in which the<\/p>\n
201
\n00:13:49,300 –> 00:13:51,700
\nscriptures have revealed these
\nthings to us, I’ve God has <\/p>\n
202
\n00:13:51,700 –> 00:13:55,000
\nchosen to communicate with us,
\nmeans that every person has ever<\/p>\n
203
\n00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:57,800
\nlived since Jesus went to
\nheaven, could live in a way that<\/p>\n
204
\n00:13:57,800 –> 00:14:00,600
\nsays, Jesus could come back in
\nmy lifetime. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:01,800 –> 00:14:03,600
\nThat’s why we’ve not been told
\nwhen. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:05,300 –> 00:14:08,700
\nThat’s why we’ve not been told
\nwhen so right from the <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:08,708 –> 00:14:12,000
\nbeginning.
\nWe know in the, in the letters <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:13,800
\nthat were written, they were
\nexpecting the Lord. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:13,800 –> 00:14:16,000
\nJesus.
\nWe know that that will work <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:18,500
\nLeisure at thessalonica when
\nPaul writes to them in every <\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:18,500 –> 00:14:21,400
\nsingle chapter, he writes in
\nthat first letter, he talks <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:21,400 –> 00:14:25,000
\nabout Jesus coming back and
\nabout people being ready for it.<\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:32,100
\nSo, for all generations, since
\nthat time there has been the <\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:32,700 –> 00:14:40,300
\nurgency to act now, to be ready
\nnow because the Lord Jesus could<\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:40,300 –> 00:14:46,200
\ncome at any time.
\nAnd there’s a downside to this, <\/p>\n
216
\n00:14:46,200 –> 00:14:47,800
\nisn’t it?
\nThere’s a challenge and a danger<\/p>\n
217
\n00:14:47,800 –> 00:14:52,500
\nto this. that we find that is
\ncovered in one of the letters <\/p>\n
218
\n00:14:52,500 –> 00:14:57,300
\nthat Peter wrote and it’s
\ninteresting, because you’ll <\/p>\n
219
\n00:14:57,300 –> 00:15:02,100
\nnotice verse, when in this
\nletter Peter says, you know <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:02,100 –> 00:15:04,800
\nthere’s gonna come people who
\nwill be saying in the last days,<\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:04,800 –> 00:15:08,900
\nso where is he then you’ve been
\nsaying his coming, but is it <\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:08,900 –> 00:15:13,700
\nsays Where’s the promise?
\nSince the father’s fell asleep? <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:13,700 –> 00:15:18,100
\nAll things continue as they were
\nfrom the beginning of creation. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:19,300 –> 00:15:23,100
\nNothing Stanley different.
\nI’m going to suggest two things <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:23,100 –> 00:15:27,300
\nto you here. knowing this first
\nscoffers will come in the last <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:27,300 –> 00:15:30,600
\ndays walking according to their
\nown lusts, people concerned with<\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:30,600 –> 00:15:34,500
\nthemself, And saying, where is
\nthe promise of his coming? <\/p>\n
228
\n00:15:34,500 –> 00:15:37,700
\nSo these are clearly people who
\nknow that Jesus is coming. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:15:38,100 –> 00:15:40,900
\nWell, we started the beginning
\nand you said yeah, you didn’t <\/p>\n
230
\n00:15:40,900 –> 00:15:42,600
\nspeak it out loud but in your
\nhead you said, yeah. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:15:42,600 –> 00:15:44,100
\nI know Jesus coming.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:15:44,100 –> 00:15:46,100
\nI can find you a verse that says
\nJesus is coming. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:50,700
\nWell, there’s going to be people
\nwho know those same things <\/p>\n
234
\n00:15:51,300 –> 00:15:54,900
\nsaying, well, where is he?
\nAnd you could even suggest that <\/p>\n
235
\n00:15:54,900 –> 00:15:58,800
\nwhen you read that it says,
\nsince the beginning of time from<\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:58,800 –> 00:16:01,800
\nthe beginning of creation, so
\nmaybe their people are even <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:04,600
\nbelieve the idea of God creating
\nthe world. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:04,600 –> 00:16:07,500
\nMaybe they even believe that
\nthere is a God, and that he has <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:07,500 –> 00:16:10,100
\na purpose and that there is
\ntruth in this book. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:11,400 –> 00:16:13,800
\nBut they still scoff, they still
\nsay? <\/p>\n
241
\n00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:17,200
\nYeah I’d I don’t know, right
\nnow, I’m not really sure whether<\/p>\n
242
\n00:16:17,200 –> 00:16:20,700
\nor not Jesus is coming back.
\nI’m not convinced. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:16:21,700 –> 00:16:25,100
\nNot really.
\nAnd there’s a danger, I suppose <\/p>\n
244
\n00:16:25,100 –> 00:16:29,200
\nthat any of us could be sucked
\ninto that. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:16:29,800 –> 00:16:37,800
\nWe could be seduced by that very
\nidea, where then is he How many <\/p>\n
246
\n00:16:37,800 –> 00:16:40,900
\ntimes do you reckon?
\nWe read about Jesus coming back <\/p>\n
247
\n00:16:41,400 –> 00:16:45,600
\nin the New Testament.
\nHow many times Give me a number <\/p>\n
248
\n00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:50,800
\nsomebody, 20 times.
\nIt’s like auction here. 20 <\/p>\n
249
\n00:16:50,800 –> 00:16:54,300
\ntimes.
\nWho’s been me 20, 50 50. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:16:54,400 –> 00:16:57,700
\nI’ve got 250 got 250 beds,
\nhundred got 100, don’t scratch <\/p>\n
251
\n00:16:57,700 –> 00:17:04,200
\nyour nose, your bidding, 100
\n150, 200. 200 of our, I got 200 <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:04,200 –> 00:17:07,200
\nthe back 200 device going once
\nat 200. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:08,000 –> 00:17:13,300
\nNow, Advance on 200.
\nAre you done 200 250 250 at the <\/p>\n
254
\n00:17:13,300 –> 00:17:19,400
\nback?
\n300 times. 300 times directly or<\/p>\n
255
\n00:17:19,400 –> 00:17:23,099
\nindirectly, there is an allusion
\nto the fact that Jesus is coming<\/p>\n
256
\n00:17:23,099 –> 00:17:25,800
\nback.
\nSo this isn’t just a little bit <\/p>\n
257
\n00:17:25,800 –> 00:17:29,100
\nthat some christadelphians
\nsomewhere of wheedle down, a <\/p>\n
258
\n00:17:29,100 –> 00:17:31,800
\ncouple of art versus and said,
\nJesus is coming back. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:17:31,800 –> 00:17:34,100
\nAnd I say that because of all
\nthe churches that there are in <\/p>\n
260
\n00:17:34,100 –> 00:17:38,000
\nthe world I’m amazed how many
\nchurches, you’ve got it in the <\/p>\n
261
\n00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:41,800
\nToronto area, but of all the
\nchurches that are in the world, <\/p>\n
262
\n00:17:41,900 –> 00:17:45,500
\nwe’ve got a book here.
\nThat says, Jesus coming back in <\/p>\n
263
\n00:17:45,500 –> 00:17:48,100
\nthe New Testament alone 300
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:52,300
\nAnd yet, I don’t know whether I
\nhear lots of people really <\/p>\n
265
\n00:17:52,300 –> 00:17:56,200
\nshouting about that. and it
\ncould be that all the other <\/p>\n
266
\n00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:59,900
\ndistractions and all the other
\nnoise that we hear in our life, <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:00,600 –> 00:18:04,800
\nfrom the moment we wake up when
\nyou reach for your iPhone or <\/p>\n
268
\n00:18:04,800 –> 00:18:09,600
\nyour dies, Or you jump onto
\nFacebook. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:18:10,900 –> 00:18:14,300
\nInstead of the faith book and
\nwhat do you do? <\/p>\n
270
\n00:18:15,000 –> 00:18:17,100
\nYou kind of get drowned out with
\nother things? <\/p>\n
271
\n00:18:18,200 –> 00:18:22,200
\nAnd the idea that Jesus is
\ncoming back, just could get lost<\/p>\n
272
\n00:18:22,600 –> 00:18:31,800
\nin all of that noise. so it’s
\nnot Jesus might be could be, <\/p>\n
273
\n00:18:32,000 –> 00:18:39,500
\nmaybe should be It’s Jesus
\nreally his coming back. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:18:40,800 –> 00:18:45,400
\nHe really is coming back.
\nAnd did you notice in the <\/p>\n
275
\n00:18:45,500 –> 00:18:48,000
\nreading that we had?
\nDo you want to just open your <\/p>\n
276
\n00:18:48,000 –> 00:18:58,700
\nBibles there in Matthew 24?
\nI’m not sure whether you are. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:04,700 –> 00:19:06,800
\nKind of people that would mix
\nwith burglars sore. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:08,500 –> 00:19:09,800
\nWhat do you call a burglar over
\nhere? <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:09,900 –> 00:19:13,300
\nYou called him a burglar.
\nWhat you calling a robber? <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:15,000 –> 00:19:18,500
\nWe had was that a Thief?
\nWhat a kind of guy that breaks <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:18,500 –> 00:19:20,100
\nin overnight when you’re asleep?
\nWhat is he? <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:20,300 –> 00:19:23,200
\nWhat would you call him?
\nA what? <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:24,800 –> 00:19:29,000
\nLouder a criminal.
\nYeah, I’d go with that. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:19:29,000 –> 00:19:32,300
\nYeah, it’s a criminal.
\nWhen we talk about cat burglars,<\/p>\n
285
\n00:19:32,300 –> 00:19:36,100
\nthey don’t steal cats, but in
\nthe UK would have a cat burglar <\/p>\n
286
\n00:19:36,100 –> 00:19:39,900
\nthat now you look like the kind
\nof people who don’t have close <\/p>\n
287
\n00:19:39,900 –> 00:19:43,700
\nassociation with criminals
\nburglars thieves or whatever. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:19:43,700 –> 00:19:48,200
\nBut if you had a kind of a
\ntrainee burglar trainee, Thief <\/p>\n
289
\n00:19:48,300 –> 00:19:52,100
\nCriminal, Who said, you know I’m
\ngoing to I’m going to do a break<\/p>\n
290
\n00:19:52,100 –> 00:19:56,300
\nin And I’m thinking this place
\nis loaded. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:19:56,300 –> 00:20:01,200
\nI’m going to break in and help
\nmyself and I’m thinking about <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:01,200 –> 00:20:07,400
\ngoing at 5:30 in the evening
\nwhen they’re having their tea or<\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:11,300
\nsupper, Yeah, you’d say that’s a
\nbad idea. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:11,500 –> 00:20:15,200
\nNo, you don’t do that.
\nYou want to go when then not <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:15,200 –> 00:20:18,500
\ngoing to be expecting you when I
\ngoing to be go prepared when <\/p>\n
296
\n00:20:18,500 –> 00:20:20,600
\nthey maybe even going to be
\nasleep. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:20:22,900 –> 00:20:26,100
\nAnd it’s interesting that on so
\nmany occasions, I think it’s <\/p>\n
298
\n00:20:26,100 –> 00:20:29,800
\naround 10.
\nWe read the idea that Jesus <\/p>\n
299
\n00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:36,800
\nconveys of him coming like a
\nthief in the night. not <\/p>\n
300
\n00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:41,900
\nexpected, perhaps, when even
\npeople are sleepy, And <\/p>\n
301
\n00:20:41,900 –> 00:20:47,300
\nill-prepared.
\nSo if we look in Matthew and 24,<\/p>\n
302
\n00:20:50,700 –> 00:20:54,400
\nVerse 42 watch.
\nTherefore, for you do not know <\/p>\n
303
\n00:20:54,400 –> 00:20:58,600
\nwhat hour your lord is coming
\nbut know this that if the Master<\/p>\n
304
\n00:20:58,600 –> 00:21:02,300
\nof the House had known, what
\nhour, the thief would come he <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:02,300 –> 00:21:06,700
\nwould have watched And not
\nallowed his house to be broken <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:06,700 –> 00:21:09,900
\ninto.
\nTherefore, you also be ready. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:11,000 –> 00:21:18,600
\nfor the son of man is coming at
\nan hour, you do not expect Now I<\/p>\n
308
\n00:21:18,608 –> 00:21:21,600
\nsuspect I’m just telling you,
\nlots of things that you know, I <\/p>\n
309
\n00:21:21,600 –> 00:21:23,300
\ndon’t think I’ve told you
\nanything here that you don’t <\/p>\n
310
\n00:21:23,300 –> 00:21:25,500
\nknow and I don’t apologize for
\nthat. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:28,400
\nBecause when I asked you the
\nquestion, right? <\/p>\n
312
\n00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:31,500
\nThe beginning and said, so did
\nyou think Jesus might come <\/p>\n
313
\n00:21:31,500 –> 00:21:32,900
\ntoday?
\nAnd you answer the question in <\/p>\n
314
\n00:21:32,900 –> 00:21:36,900
\nyour head.
\nI suspect that some of you may <\/p>\n
315
\n00:21:36,900 –> 00:21:40,700
\nbe quite a number of you haven’t
\ngiven it much thought. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:21:41,700 –> 00:21:43,800
\nYou maybe thought what you’re
\ngoing to wear you maybe thought <\/p>\n
317
\n00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:46,500
\nwho you might see you, maybe
\nthought. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:21:47,400 –> 00:21:50,600
\nDo I need to do that homework
\nyet you maybe thought what’s for<\/p>\n
319
\n00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:53,600
\nbreakfast?
\nyou maybe thought wearing my <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:53,600 –> 00:21:59,500
\nshoes, you maybe thought are
\nthere any messages on my texts? <\/p>\n
321
\n00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:05,100
\nBut I wonder, how many of us
\nthought is this the day? <\/p>\n
322
\n00:22:05,100 –> 00:22:09,300
\nThat Jesus is coming back.
\nYou see these words aren’t Idle <\/p>\n
323
\n00:22:09,300 –> 00:22:11,400
\nWords.
\nThey’re not just words that we <\/p>\n
324
\n00:22:11,400 –> 00:22:15,000
\nread over and over and we can
\nquote and when we’re at Sunday <\/p>\n
325
\n00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:18,500
\nschool and we got to give a
\nverse that we know, When our <\/p>\n
326
\n00:22:18,500 –> 00:22:21,000
\nparents I know, you know, you
\nknow, Jesus is coming back, <\/p>\n
327
\n00:22:21,000 –> 00:22:25,400
\ndon’t you go?
\nYeah, you quote a verse that’s <\/p>\n
328
\n00:22:25,400 –> 00:22:29,200
\nthat’s not what it’s for.
\nThis is about our life and about<\/p>\n
329
\n00:22:29,200 –> 00:22:31,100
\nthe world that we live and been
\nchanged forever. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:22:31,100 –> 00:22:34,800
\nWhen Jesus comes back and we’re
\nbeing told that there was going <\/p>\n
331
\n00:22:34,800 –> 00:22:39,100
\nto be a world, not prepared and
\nindividuals, not prepared. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:22:40,100 –> 00:22:43,900
\nAnd what scares me is the is the
\nthought that in this room are <\/p>\n
333
\n00:22:43,900 –> 00:22:47,200
\nevery single one of us going to
\nbe prepared or are some of us <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:47,200 –> 00:22:51,800
\nnot going to be prepared even
\nthough we knew Even though we <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:51,800 –> 00:23:00,000
\nknew we weren’t ready.
\nEven though we knew we weren’t <\/p>\n
336
\n00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:02,700
\nready.
\nEven though you knew this <\/p>\n
337
\n00:23:02,700 –> 00:23:05,900
\nmorning, did you think that he
\nmight be coming back? <\/p>\n
338
\n00:23:06,900 –> 00:23:08,900
\nYou see that’s this is, this is
\nreality. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:23:09,900 –> 00:23:13,000
\nThis this is this is not a
\ntextbook for us to think about <\/p>\n
340
\n00:23:13,400 –> 00:23:16,400
\nthis is the book that God has
\nused to communicate with us how <\/p>\n
341
\n00:23:16,400 –> 00:23:20,700
\nhe wants us to live our life and
\nwe ready for his sons return. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:23:24,100 –> 00:23:27,600
\nHave you seen that before?
\nSome of you seen this. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:23:28,400 –> 00:23:29,800
\nI was quite interested to see
\nthis. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:23:29,800 –> 00:23:34,400
\nThis Here’s a, here’s a date
\nwhich is out there. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:23:34,400 –> 00:23:38,600
\nThere’s a, there’s a whole lot
\nof billboards right across the <\/p>\n
346
\n00:23:38,600 –> 00:23:42,200
\nparts of North America, where
\nsomebody has worked out. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:42,800 –> 00:23:46,100
\nBut Jesus coming back in May
\n2011. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:47,700 –> 00:23:52,700
\nLet’s met, is it next week?
\n20th May 21st. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:52,700 –> 00:23:54,600
\nYeah.
\nSo we’ve got a few weeks <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:54,600 –> 00:23:57,900
\naccording to this individual.
\nAnd Jesus coming back. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:58,600 –> 00:24:03,600
\nHe’s gone back and he’s taken a
\nlook at the dates. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:06,500
\nHe’s worked out.
\nGone back to the time of the <\/p>\n
353
\n00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:09,800
\nflood.
\nAnd he’s concluded from his <\/p>\n
354
\n00:24:09,800 –> 00:24:12,900
\ncalculations, that that’s when
\nJesus is coming back. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:24:15,000 –> 00:24:17,500
\nAnd that the thing is, you know,
\nthat there have been throughout <\/p>\n
356
\n00:24:17,500 –> 00:24:22,600
\nhistory, a lot of people who
\nhave in all sincerity and with <\/p>\n
357
\n00:24:22,600 –> 00:24:27,400
\ngood intent, try to warn people.
\nWhen Jesus coming back. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:24:28,400 –> 00:24:30,700
\nThere’s been people even within
\nthe christadelphians community <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:30,700 –> 00:24:33,800
\nin all sincerity.
\nAnd I guess if you when you’re <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:33,800 –> 00:24:35,800
\nlooking at scripture, and you
\nget really excited about <\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:35,800 –> 00:24:37,900
\nscripture, it’s very easy to
\nsay, you know what? <\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:37,900 –> 00:24:39,900
\nWhen I look at this, and look at
\nthis and there’s a pattern here <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:39,900 –> 00:24:42,600
\nand connection here, I think I
\ncan see that there’s a <\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:42,600 –> 00:24:45,400
\npossibility that this could be
\nthe date or the When Jesus <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:45,400 –> 00:24:48,100
\ncoming back and want to share it
\nwith people. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:49,500 –> 00:24:50,800
\nBut it’s kind of putting to one
\nside. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:53,100
\nThose verses that said no one
\nknows has Jesus. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:53,100 –> 00:24:57,200
\nNot even the angels, six weeks
\nof study with the Lord Jesus, <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:57,500 –> 00:24:59,200
\nthe apostles still couldn’t get
\nit right? <\/p>\n
370
\n00:25:00,600 –> 00:25:02,600
\nAnd the message really is that
\nnone of us are going to get it <\/p>\n
371
\n00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:04,200
\nright?
\nBut it won’t stop people. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:25:05,200 –> 00:25:09,700
\nThere will still be people with
\nall good intention but perhaps <\/p>\n
373
\n00:25:09,700 –> 00:25:16,400
\ndoing great damage and great
\nwrong. and it’s not surprising, <\/p>\n
374
\n00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:21,700
\nis that, that people We’ll be
\nsearching for a date because <\/p>\n
375
\n00:25:21,700 –> 00:25:26,400
\nit’s the big question is the big
\nquestion you’ll know the story <\/p>\n
376
\n00:25:26,400 –> 00:25:29,800
\nof Daniel and the image, you’ll
\nknow the prophecy. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:25:30,200 –> 00:25:33,900
\nYou will know the situation.
\nThe revealing of numbers of days<\/p>\n
378
\n00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:38,800
\nthe day for a year principle,
\nwhich is a good principle, which<\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:38,800 –> 00:25:41,200
\nhelps us understand all sorts of
\nprophecies in Scripture. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:42,800 –> 00:25:45,100
\nBut it will mean that there will
\nbe some individuals who will <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:45,100 –> 00:25:49,100
\ntake that principle and apply it
\nin a number of ways and come up <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:49,100 –> 00:25:52,000
\nwith dates when they believe
\nthat the Lord Jesus will be <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:55,900
\nhere.
\nAnd it’s, it’s, it’s been a <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:55,900 –> 00:25:58,100
\ncontinual thing over the
\ncenturies. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:58,500 –> 00:26:01,100
\nThere is one of the one of the
\nPope’s, I think, in the Middle <\/p>\n
386
\n00:26:01,100 –> 00:26:05,900
\nAges decided that if he took the
\ndate, when Islam was founded and<\/p>\n
387
\n00:26:05,900 –> 00:26:09,100
\nadded to it, what he felt
\nbecause it was not a true <\/p>\n
388
\n00:26:09,100 –> 00:26:11,500
\nreligion.
\nIf he added to it, the number of<\/p>\n
389
\n00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:15,300
\nthe Beast, 666, that that would
\ngive the Euro when Jesus would <\/p>\n
390
\n00:26:15,300 –> 00:26:18,400
\ncome back.
\nThere was a reverend Miller was <\/p>\n
391
\n00:26:18,400 –> 00:26:22,000
\na Baptist minister in the, in
\nthe 1800s, in England who had <\/p>\n
392
\n00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:24,000
\nworked it out.
\nHe’d gone back to Daniel and <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:24,008 –> 00:26:27,900
\nhe’d hit apply the line of logic
\nwhich I suppose you might say. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:31,100
\nYeah, it’s a line of logic, but
\nbecause it’s logical doesn’t <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:31,100 –> 00:26:33,900
\nmean it’s right.
\nHe applied the line of logic. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:33,900 –> 00:26:36,000
\nHe applied a principle of the
\nday for a year. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:36,100 –> 00:26:38,900
\nHe went back to when he thought
\ncertain events that happened and<\/p>\n
398
\n00:26:38,900 –> 00:26:44,200
\nadded to it, the 2,300.
\nHe came to a date. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:44,300 –> 00:26:48,800
\nTaking it from, from The Book of
\nDaniel 2300 days, 2200 Euros, <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:48,800 –> 00:26:52,400
\nadded it together.
\nAnd said, 1844, Jesus is coming <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:52,400 –> 00:26:57,900
\nback.
\nAnd most of his followers gave <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:57,900 –> 00:27:01,900
\naway all their possessions.
\nAnd we’re all ready for Jesus to<\/p>\n
403
\n00:27:01,900 –> 00:27:08,000
\ncome back and of course Jesus
\ndidn’t come back. all the <\/p>\n
404
\n00:27:08,000 –> 00:27:11,000
\nWatchtower Society who we talked
\nabout the Jehovah’s Witness <\/p>\n
405
\n00:27:11,000 –> 00:27:14,700
\ncommunity, They too had carried
\nout there. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:16,600 –> 00:27:21,900
\nDetailed exposition of the
\nprophets and they in fact <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:21,900 –> 00:27:25,800
\nconcluded that Jesus was going
\nto return visibly and physically<\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:26,300 –> 00:27:31,100
\nin 1874 he didn’t.
\nSo they went back to the drawing<\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:31,100 –> 00:27:34,900
\nboard and I worked it out again.
\nAnd I said, no, it’s now 1914. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:35,600 –> 00:27:38,100
\nAnd when Jesus didn’t come back
\nin 1914, the said what? <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:38,100 –> 00:27:40,900
\nWe got it wrong, he did really
\ncome back, but you just can’t <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:40,900 –> 00:27:48,400
\nsee him.
\nAnd I took a word that took a <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:48,408 –> 00:27:52,400
\nGreek word that took one word in
\nthe the chapter we read part of <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:52,800 –> 00:27:54,700
\nwhat will be the sign of your
\nappearing. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:54,700 –> 00:27:57,000
\nThe Greek word piracy, I think
\nit’s pronounced. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:58,300 –> 00:28:00,100
\nWhat will be the sign of his
\nappearing and his eye? <\/p>\n
417
\n00:28:00,100 –> 00:28:02,600
\nThat can mean his presence?
\nYou can’t really see Jesus. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:02,700 –> 00:28:05,100
\nHe’s just present.
\nHe’s really ruling now. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:08,200
\nWhat is it?
\nWe’ve read about lightning from <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:08,200 –> 00:28:12,500
\nthe East to the West.
\nEvery eye will see him and <\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:12,500 –> 00:28:15,700
\nnobody knows the day or the hour
\nand they said, oh yeah, yeah, it<\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:15,700 –> 00:28:17,800
\nsays they are now but it it
\ndoesn’t say, you don’t know the <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:17,800 –> 00:28:23,500
\nEur.
\nIt’s not right, it’s not right. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:24,500 –> 00:28:28,000
\nThey take the word of God and
\nthey would use it in a way that <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:28,000 –> 00:28:31,600
\nthey believe, perhaps With all
\nsincerity and all good intention<\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:31,600 –> 00:28:33,500
\nwill help them know when Jesus
\ncoming back. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:33,500 –> 00:28:35,600
\nSo they can tell their
\nfollowers, be ready, because <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:35,600 –> 00:28:40,900
\nJesus is coming back, but we are
\nnot told for a reason so that we<\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:40,900 –> 00:28:46,100
\ncan all be ready.
\nAs if it was today not for a day<\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:46,100 –> 00:28:48,800
\nthat’s set in the future that we
\ncan just work towards. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:48,800 –> 00:28:51,100
\nAnd, you know, it’s kind of put
\noff your exam revision till <\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:52,800
\nnearer.
\nThe time, we’ve got weeks, we <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:52,800 –> 00:28:54,400
\ngot yours before.
\nJesus is back. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:54,400 –> 00:28:57,200
\nJust, I just wait a bit.
\nI’ll be got yours and then we’ll<\/p>\n
435
\n00:28:57,200 –> 00:28:59,600
\nmaybe get converted get
\nbaptized, it’s fine. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:00,700 –> 00:29:04,600
\nIt could be today.
\nAnd that’s why we’re not told, <\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:05,500 –> 00:29:10,500
\nthat’s why we’re not told when
\nwe just told he is and it could <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:10,500 –> 00:29:21,500
\nbe even today.
\nSo, ignoring warnings Is Not <\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:21,600 –> 00:29:24,400
\nUnusual.
\nYou’ll know the passengers. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:24,400 –> 00:29:28,800
\nWe’ve seen here in in Matthew 24
\nof your Bible, still open in <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:28,800 –> 00:29:35,600
\nMatthew 24.
\nThere it is, in verse 36. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:40,300
\nOf that day and hour.
\nNo one knows not even the angels<\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:40,300 –> 00:29:45,800
\nof heaven but my father only but
\nas the days of Noah were so also<\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:45,800 –> 00:29:50,400
\nwill the coming of the son of
\nman be And you have read these <\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:50,400 –> 00:29:53,300
\npassages hundreds of times.
\nI’m sure. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:54,900 –> 00:29:59,200
\nAnd you might be left thinking.
\nSo what’s that got to do with <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:03,800
\nme?
\nGot a lot to do with you and a <\/p>\n
448
\n00:30:03,800 –> 00:30:07,600
\nlot to do with me.
\nBecause it’s part of the warning<\/p>\n
449
\n00:30:08,200 –> 00:30:10,900
\nand it’s telling us, Jesus is
\ntelling us that when there’s <\/p>\n
450
\n00:30:10,900 –> 00:30:15,100
\nbeen warnings before, people
\nhave ignored them, we’re told <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:15,100 –> 00:30:16,600
\nthat Noah didn’t just build the
\nark. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:16,600 –> 00:30:18,900
\nImagine if there was just the
\nart being built, that’s enough <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:18,900 –> 00:30:24,000
\nof a witness, but he preached
\nrighteousness, There was also to<\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:24,000 –> 00:30:27,000
\na bit of a sign in the name of
\none of the people who are alive <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:27,000 –> 00:30:32,700
\nat the time, who when he died
\nwas a signal, a sign that <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:32,700 –> 00:30:38,500
\nsomething big would happen.
\nBut people ignored what was <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:42,400
\nbeing said?
\nAnd Jesus said that’s what it <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:42,400 –> 00:30:46,300
\nwill be like.
\nPeople will ignore what’s going <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:46,300 –> 00:30:47,900
\non.
\nThey’ll ignore the signs. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:47,900 –> 00:30:51,800
\nAnd in fact, this idea of people
\nmarrying and giving in marriage <\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:51,800 –> 00:30:56,000
\nand eating and drinking.
\nIn fact, if you link it to, with<\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:56,000 –> 00:31:00,300
\nthe passage in Luke, where we
\nread about the time when they <\/p>\n
463
\n00:31:00,300 –> 00:31:05,200
\nwere all taken unaware, as when
\nthere was destruction, People <\/p>\n
464
\n00:31:05,200 –> 00:31:08,000
\nwere eating and drinking, but
\nthey were buying. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:31:08,400 –> 00:31:10,900
\nThey were trading, they were
\nbuilding, they were planting. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:10,900 –> 00:31:13,500
\nIn other words, if you build a
\nnew plans, it’s because you <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:13,500 –> 00:31:16,800
\nthink there’s a future, you’re
\nkind of doing things for the <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:16,800 –> 00:31:18,300
\nfuture.
\nYou don’t plant. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:18,400 –> 00:31:22,100
\nNow, expecting a crop.
\nNow, you plant now because of a <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:22,100 –> 00:31:25,600
\nreturn in the future, you build
\nnow for somewhere to live in the<\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:25,600 –> 00:31:28,200
\nfuture and Jesus said, that’s
\nhow people were, they were <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:30,800
\nconcerned with preparing
\nthemselves for their future. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:31,900 –> 00:31:35,400
\nThey saw no intervention
\nwhatsoever from God. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:35,800 –> 00:31:39,000
\nThey had no idea that the Lord
\nGod was going to intervene and <\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:39,000 –> 00:31:41,800
\njudge the way he did.
\nThey ignored, they were <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:41,800 –> 00:31:45,600
\nwillfully ignorant.
\nThey didn’t want to know, they <\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:45,600 –> 00:31:47,400
\nclose their ears, their shut
\ntheir eyes. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:47,400 –> 00:31:52,800
\nThey just pushed it to one side
\nand when it came, it says, they <\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:52,800 –> 00:31:55,900
\nwere taken unawares.
\nAnd Jesus said that’s how it’s <\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:55,900 –> 00:31:58,600
\ngoing to be.
\nThat’s how it’s going to be. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:01,100 –> 00:32:04,900
\nImagine if that was you.
\nWhen Jesus comes back. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:06,100 –> 00:32:11,500
\nAnd you are too busy wondering.
\nIs there enough food in the <\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:11,508 –> 00:32:15,900
\nfridge?
\nWhen you woke up this morning, <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:15,900 –> 00:32:17,600
\nyou know, you who’s had the
\nmilk. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:18,600 –> 00:32:20,600
\nThere may have been something
\nyou were so concerned about this<\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:20,600 –> 00:32:22,400
\nmore, you were more concerned
\nabout that. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:23,400 –> 00:32:25,700
\nThan thinking whether Jesus was
\ngoing to come back today, <\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:26,600 –> 00:32:31,600
\nperhaps but that’s the world
\nthat Jesus said existed, when <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:31,600 –> 00:32:34,800
\npeople got their priorities all
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:40,700
\nOne of the big things that’s
\nhappening. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:42,000 –> 00:32:43,600
\nThat we need to just be aware
\nof. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:32:45,000 –> 00:32:48,000
\nI have fast, things happen.
\nEither, what you saw this <\/p>\n
493
\n00:32:48,000 –> 00:32:51,700
\npicture, whether you’ve seen it
\nin the, any of the magazines of <\/p>\n
494
\n00:32:52,200 –> 00:32:56,000
\nthe news programs, but just a
\nfew weeks ago, it is literally <\/p>\n
495
\n00:32:56,000 –> 00:33:02,000
\n18 weeks ago.
\nThere is a man because of unrest<\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:02,000 –> 00:33:07,500
\nin Tunisia.
\nThere was outrage at poverty and<\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:08,400 –> 00:33:11,900
\ninequality and if they were
\ntaking their protest to the <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:11,900 –> 00:33:17,400
\nstreet, I miss mom decided that
\nhe was a mark of protest, would <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:17,400 –> 00:33:22,600
\nset himself on fire, set himself
\nalight in the Market Square and <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:22,700 –> 00:33:26,000
\nkill himself.
\nTook his life, and it resulted <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:26,000 –> 00:33:31,200
\nin various other people sort of
\ncopying, and a whole, upheaval <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:31,500 –> 00:33:36,200
\nof unrest, followed.
\nAnd he’s being visited thinks, <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:39,300
\nhe’s in hospital in a dreadful
\nState and he died. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:33:41,000 –> 00:33:43,300
\nBut it kind of was a spark
\nthat’s going across the Middle <\/p>\n
505
\n00:33:43,300 –> 00:33:49,500
\nEast. 18 weeks ago, people were
\nkind of out there was something <\/p>\n
506
\n00:33:49,500 –> 00:33:51,900
\nbeing talked about a happening
\nin the Middle East in Tunisia. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:33:51,900 –> 00:33:54,900
\nOr, you know, could you even put
\nTunisia on the map? <\/p>\n
508
\n00:33:54,900 –> 00:33:56,900
\nWhere is it in relation to the
\nMiddle East? <\/p>\n
509
\n00:33:56,900 –> 00:33:58,800
\nWhere is it in relationship to
\nIsrael? <\/p>\n
510
\n00:33:59,500 –> 00:34:02,000
\nAnd before we know where we are,
\nthere’s a kind of a chain <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:02,000 –> 00:34:04,500
\nreaction in other countries.
\nSome of them all have heard of <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:04,500 –> 00:34:06,400
\nthat one.
\nI’ve heard of Egypt. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:06,400 –> 00:34:10,699
\nYeah, And certainly in Egypt,
\nthere is an overthrow of a man <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:12,400
\nwho’s been in charge for 30
\nyears. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:13,500 –> 00:34:16,400
\nAnd suddenly, we’ve got Colonel
\nGaddafi was a great friend of <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:16,400 –> 00:34:20,100
\nthe West an ally in as much as
\nhe was allowing all sorts of <\/p>\n
517
\n00:34:20,100 –> 00:34:25,100
\nthings to happen.
\nAnd suddenly he is now. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:34:26,500 –> 00:34:28,900
\nWell, I guess, depending on what
\ntime it is, is he still in <\/p>\n
519
\n00:34:28,900 –> 00:34:30,199
\npower?
\nIs he not in power? <\/p>\n
520
\n00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:33,500
\nWe’ve literally got things
\nhappening but literally a few <\/p>\n
521
\n00:34:33,500 –> 00:34:38,500
\nweeks ago, we’ve gone from a new
\nstory that may have just been on<\/p>\n
522
\n00:34:38,500 –> 00:34:40,400
\nthe end that there’s been
\nsomeone taking their life in <\/p>\n
523
\n00:34:40,400 –> 00:34:42,100
\nTunisia.
\nAnd suddenly, they’ve been <\/p>\n
524
\n00:34:42,100 –> 00:34:44,800
\nUprising and Uprising.
\nAnd the reason I’m making these <\/p>\n
525
\n00:34:44,800 –> 00:34:48,699
\npoints is because there is
\nsomething about speed and the <\/p>\n
526
\n00:34:48,699 –> 00:34:51,900
\nspeed of communication, we live
\nin a generation where we know <\/p>\n
527
\n00:34:51,900 –> 00:34:55,199
\nabout these things faster than
\nthan any other of Our <\/p>\n
528
\n00:34:55,199 –> 00:34:58,700
\nGenerations have gone before.
\nFor if we were to put that a <\/p>\n
529
\n00:34:58,700 –> 00:35:02,700
\nhistory of the world over the
\nlast, what if we took the last <\/p>\n
530
\n00:35:03,000 –> 00:35:08,000
\n2,000 years across the stage
\nhere, where the far end was 2000<\/p>\n
531
\n00:35:08,000 –> 00:35:11,000
\nwhen Jesus was alive and I’m
\nstanding here at the present day<\/p>\n
532
\n00:35:11,300 –> 00:35:14,300
\nand we think right?
\nSo where have all of the changes<\/p>\n
533
\n00:35:14,300 –> 00:35:18,200
\nhappen which have enabled mass
\nand fast communication? <\/p>\n
534
\n00:35:19,200 –> 00:35:21,000
\nWe haven’t got to go back very
\nfar. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:35:21,900 –> 00:35:27,200
\nWhere are, you know, 100 years?
\nAnd you well not much not much <\/p>\n
536
\n00:35:27,200 –> 00:35:28,900
\naround here.
\nWe probably had your mail was <\/p>\n
537
\n00:35:28,900 –> 00:35:35,900
\ndelivered by a guy on a horse.
\nI’m back here. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:35:36,400 –> 00:35:38,300
\nYou probably wouldn’t even know
\nwhat was happening. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:35:38,300 –> 00:35:43,300
\nThe other side of the world?
\nAnd now we live in a generation.<\/p>\n
540
\n00:35:45,700 –> 00:35:48,500
\nWhere you almost know in real
\ntime. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:35:48,500 –> 00:35:49,800
\nWhat’s happening around the
\nworld? <\/p>\n
542
\n00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:55,400
\nEvery eye shall see him.
\nMen’s Hearts, failing them for <\/p>\n
543
\n00:35:55,400 –> 00:35:56,900
\nfear because of what’s
\nhappening. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:35:56,900 –> 00:36:00,500
\nIf I live back here when I have
\nknown about what happened in <\/p>\n
545
\n00:36:00,500 –> 00:36:03,900
\nFukushima It would have just
\nbeen. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:36:05,000 –> 00:36:07,200
\nCompletely out of my sphere of
\nknowledge, wouldn’t it? <\/p>\n
547
\n00:36:07,600 –> 00:36:10,900
\nBut here where I live now, where
\nyou live now, in the age that we<\/p>\n
548
\n00:36:10,900 –> 00:36:15,000
\nlive, we know so much.
\nAnd it’s fueling and feeding all<\/p>\n
549
\n00:36:15,000 –> 00:36:17,200
\nsorts of instability around the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:36:17,400 –> 00:36:20,200
\nPeople are fearful for what is
\nhappening. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:36:21,200 –> 00:36:26,900
\nThe knock-on effect, the mass
\ncommunication, which is driving <\/p>\n
552
\n00:36:26,900 –> 00:36:32,400
\npeople to want more.
\nTo take power into their own <\/p>\n
553
\n00:36:32,400 –> 00:36:36,000
\nhands.
\nBut the keyword and what’s <\/p>\n
554
\n00:36:36,000 –> 00:36:41,100
\nhappening is it’s creating
\ninstability things, aren’t <\/p>\n
555
\n00:36:41,100 –> 00:36:46,500
\ncertain things aren’t sure in
\nthe world that we live in It’s <\/p>\n
556
\n00:36:46,500 –> 00:36:54,200
\nprecarious, it’s dangerous
\nthings, happen fast real fast. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:36:55,200 –> 00:36:59,400
\nThat’s why when we read like a
\nthief in the night, why we read <\/p>\n
558
\n00:36:59,400 –> 00:37:03,300
\nJesus saying, watch because you
\ndon’t know, we can’t. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:37:03,300 –> 00:37:06,000
\nSo say, yeah, we’ll watch our
\nwatch. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:37:06,200 –> 00:37:08,900
\nI’ve kind of on a Sunday, I’ll
\ngo to the meeting and I’ll watch<\/p>\n
561
\n00:37:09,700 –> 00:37:13,200
\nI’ve kind of do the readings,
\nevery now and again and watch <\/p>\n
562
\n00:37:13,200 –> 00:37:18,500
\nwhat the word tells me.
\nThis is about watching like <\/p>\n
563
\n00:37:18,500 –> 00:37:23,900
\nwe’ve never watched before,
\nbecause Jesus really is coming <\/p>\n
564
\n00:37:23,900 –> 00:37:26,800
\nback.
\nIt’s not a story. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:37:26,900 –> 00:37:30,000
\nYou know, your folks may have
\ntold you about Santa and about <\/p>\n
566
\n00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:33,200
\nthe tooth fairy and you kind of
\nthought that’s pretty cool. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:37:34,300 –> 00:37:36,800
\nBut they also told me about
\nJesus coming back and if we’re <\/p>\n
568
\n00:37:36,800 –> 00:37:39,200
\nnot careful, we put it in the
\nsame camp. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:37:40,500 –> 00:37:43,800
\nThis is real.
\nThis is real. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:47,800
\nIt’s so real.
\nThat Jesus is coming back that <\/p>\n
571
\n00:37:47,800 –> 00:37:59,000
\nwe can’t just push it to one
\nside. when I’ve tried to do, Is <\/p>\n
572
\n00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:04,800
\nthis to start you?
\nThinking a bit more about when I<\/p>\n
573
\n00:38:04,800 –> 00:38:08,300
\ncan’t tell you when we’ve seen,
\nI can’t tell you when. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:38:09,000 –> 00:38:11,500
\nBut you, I’ve also tried to
\noffer you a reason why I can’t <\/p>\n
575
\n00:38:11,500 –> 00:38:16,000
\nand why nobody can tell you
\nwhen, but it shouldn’t stop us <\/p>\n
576
\n00:38:16,000 –> 00:38:21,000
\nbeing curious.
\nI’m being anticipate, tree being<\/p>\n
577
\n00:38:21,000 –> 00:38:26,800
\nexcited and being watchful.
\nBeing watchful. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:38:27,800 –> 00:38:30,900
\nBecause that’s what Jesus told
\nus to do to watch. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:38:31,500 –> 00:38:36,100
\nYou can’t be ready if you’re not
\nwatching. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:38:39,100 –> 00:38:45,000
\nSo when we’ve had a short break,
\nthe question is Are you <\/p>\n
581
\n00:38:45,000 –> 00:38:47,600
\nwatching?
\nAnd we’ll look at one or two <\/p>\n
582
\n00:38:47,600 –> 00:38:51,700
\nthings that may be worth a watch
\na few themes for us to think <\/p>\n
583
\n00:38:51,700 –> 00:38:56,300
\nabout and also how we’re going
\nto watch so that we are ready <\/p>\n
584
\n00:38:56,300 –> 00:38:57,100
\nwhen the Lord returns.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
