Speaker 1: Okay, so today we uh, today we want to go
Speaker 1: back into because last week you were pretty happy. I
Speaker 1: thought I was going to get tomatoes after church. I
Speaker 1: thought I would be greeted with, you know something, some
Speaker 1: kind of but no, you were. You were actually you
Speaker 1: were actually kind of happy.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And so that was a miracle. And you came back
Speaker 1: to church. How many have you came back to church?
Speaker 1: What in the world?
Speaker 2: Of course you did, You're here? What in the world?
Speaker 1: All right, so this is good. So last week I
Speaker 1: was I spent a little bit of time. Uh, this
Speaker 1: was from this is from first service. So I'll try
Speaker 1: to explain this. Right, So last week we launched into
Speaker 1: attempting to wash religious pessimism out of our hearts. Part
Speaker 1: of this pessimism is because the majority of so many folks,
Speaker 1: I don't know who they are, but the majority they
Speaker 1: see they see a devolving kingdom. Right, but we get
Speaker 1: rescued at the end, and they also see the blessings
Speaker 1: of God actually don't really erupt with great excitement until
Speaker 1: after the rapture or the second Coming. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: got all sorts of blessings over here, but I figure
Speaker 1: we don't need them over here.
Speaker 2: Do you need blessings over here?
Speaker 1: Come on, You're gonna be transformed, You're gonna be in
Speaker 1: corrupt the ball, You're never gonna die again. All this
Speaker 1: stuff's going on. Okay, but this is after the last day.
Speaker 1: The last day is First Corinthians fifteen twenty six.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So, and what I was trying to tell you last
Speaker 1: week a little bit, and I gave you about six
Speaker 1: right scriptures as proof, but I'm gonna give you a
Speaker 1: few more today so you'll have double proof. What I
Speaker 1: was trying to tell you last week is that we
Speaker 1: are not in the last days. We are in the
Speaker 1: New days. We are in Kingdom days, we're in the
Speaker 1: days of Heaven on Earth days. We're in the new
Speaker 1: Heaven and New Earth days. That these are these amazing
Speaker 1: days that we're living in. And that means you should
Speaker 1: run around pinching yourself, like, how did you get in
Speaker 1: this generation?
Speaker 2: Yeah? How is it that God called you.
Speaker 1: In the most amazing season the planet's ever seen and
Speaker 1: you could possibly be depressed? You could allow a negative
Speaker 1: thought to exist for longer than two seconds.
Speaker 2: I mean, how in the.
Speaker 1: World you got to realize you are in God shows
Speaker 1: you to be in the most dynamic, exciting, amazing time
Speaker 1: period the Earth has ever seen. And you're somewhere out here.
Speaker 1: So you're actually out here where a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly where you are. You could be
Speaker 2: over here, but.
Speaker 1: You're over here on the timeline where a lot of
Speaker 1: the unclean realm has allready been subdued and put under
Speaker 1: our feet.
Speaker 2: You don't believe it. You just need to think for
Speaker 2: a minute. Just think. Use that in Aggan and.
Speaker 1: You'll realize what a crazy season we're living in and
Speaker 1: how much has allready been done. And not only that,
Speaker 1: we have two point eight billion Christians on the planet.
Speaker 1: I love somebody, and the rate of conversion right now
Speaker 1: is literally mind boggling everywhere, mind boggling everywhere. Indonesia, which
Speaker 1: is the largest populous nation of Muslims, is converting to
Speaker 1: Christ so fast they can't keep up with it. And
Speaker 1: there are churches there now of thirty thousand, sixty thousand,
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand member churches in Indonesia.
Speaker 2: Iran, you've heard it.
Speaker 1: I ran as turning to the Lord at thousands every
Speaker 1: single day, every single day.
Speaker 2: So what's going on? We're just living in this group.
Speaker 1: But I want you to I want you to remember
Speaker 1: that what we had here is we had the Mosaic period.
Speaker 1: This was the time under Moses, which the Ten Commandments
Speaker 1: were only a part of that. The other part that
Speaker 1: was relevant of the time under Moses was the tabernacle
Speaker 1: and the sacrificial system. You're not familiar with that necessarily,
Speaker 1: but that was he break that was Jewish and you
Speaker 1: maybe have heard of it, you're aware of it. And
Speaker 1: that was how.
Speaker 2: They approached God.
Speaker 1: They approached God through sacrifice, and they approached God at
Speaker 1: the temple, and they approached God through the sacrificial system,
Speaker 1: and a priesthood represented the people in approaching God.
Speaker 2: So have you heard of that? Good? All right?
Speaker 1: So the end at times, everybody say in times, the
Speaker 1: end at times that the New Testament talks about is
Speaker 1: actually the closure of that period. So that period was
Speaker 1: coming into a close. Hebrews nine twenty five says that
Speaker 1: it was becoming obsolete and disappearing. And that's because Jesus,
Speaker 1: who was the priest, who was the sacrifice, who was
Speaker 1: also coming to live within a new temple, right was
Speaker 1: inaugurated as one who was starting a brand new kingdom
Speaker 1: and one who was ascending into the glory of that kingdom.
Speaker 1: Matthew Matthew sixteen twenty eight. In Matthew sixteen twenty eight,
Speaker 1: Jesus says, many of you standing here will still be
Speaker 1: alive and see the Son of Man come into his kingdom,
Speaker 1: come into glory. He was literally quoting out of Daniel
Speaker 1: Chapter two, where Daniel sees the Son of Man coming
Speaker 1: up to the ancient of days, the sovereign one, receiving
Speaker 1: a kingdom, a kingdom that's everlasting, and a king that
Speaker 1: will never fade, in a kingdom that can never be
Speaker 1: taken away. So he's actually Jesus is quoting. He does
Speaker 1: it also in Matthew twenty four. He's quoting out of Daniel.
Speaker 1: Even the abomination that causes desolation in the Holy Place.
Speaker 1: All of this Jesus is quoting out of Daniel two,
Speaker 1: Daniel seven, Daniel nine.
Speaker 2: Et cetera.
Speaker 1: But this period here ad thirty three, what happened in
Speaker 1: eighty thirty three, I may remember.
Speaker 2: Laurd was crucified, right.
Speaker 1: So eighty thirty three to eighty seventy this is called
Speaker 1: the last days, all right, So, and it's about what
Speaker 1: would that be about thirty seven years? The Last days
Speaker 1: now it's the last days of the Mosaic period. And
Speaker 1: at the end of this period eighty seventy, this is
Speaker 1: when the temple is destroyed, Jerusalem is destroyed, Israel is judge,
Speaker 1: Jerusalem is destroyed, the temple is destroyed, and the sacrificial
Speaker 1: system is no more, and never again has there been
Speaker 1: a sacrifice, and never again has there been a temple.
Speaker 1: So that was the end of that, the end of
Speaker 1: that period. That was also the beginning time of this
Speaker 1: advancing kingdom of Heaven on earth. And another way of
Speaker 1: saying that would be a new creation and a new earth.
Speaker 1: Now again, many times religion and religious school of thought,
Speaker 1: it puts the new heaven and the new Earth out here,
Speaker 1: after the second Coming, after the rapture, after.
Speaker 2: The last Day. This is the last day, at the
Speaker 2: last trump. Right.
Speaker 1: So, but the Bible says First Corinthians fifteen twenty six
Speaker 1: says that when he comes back, he's only coming to
Speaker 1: conquer one enemy. The other enemies have been put under
Speaker 1: his feet. And if they're put under his feet, who
Speaker 1: else might they be put under Usen's right, So they're
Speaker 1: put under our feet as well, because we are the
Speaker 1: body of Christ. He is the head, and we are
Speaker 1: the body. Last we check the feet are attached to
Speaker 1: the body, and so he's coming back only to conquer
Speaker 1: this enemy. That means that all the other enemies, the
Speaker 1: demonic powers, the unclean powers, will have been conquered. Which
Speaker 1: is why Isaiah sixty five sounds like it does. Look
Speaker 1: like it does. We're going to read that Isaiah sixty five.
Speaker 1: Why it sounds so amazing is because by the time
Speaker 1: we get to the last day, the kingdom has on
Speaker 1: the earth has grown significantly, and the right are living
Speaker 1: in the abundance of this growing heaven on earth kingdom. Okay,
Speaker 1: are you with me so far? Everybody with me so far?
Speaker 1: Let's go back over here. I want to give you
Speaker 1: some of these right here and talk a little bit.
Speaker 1: I've got a couple about the last day again. So again,
Speaker 1: these are the last days. These are the last days? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: One Peter four to seven. The end of all things
Speaker 1: is near. Therefore be alert and sober of a sober
Speaker 1: mind for the sake of prayer. First Peter four to seven.
Speaker 1: The end of all things is near. They understood, so
Speaker 1: they preached this in all their churches. They talked about
Speaker 1: this in all of their meetings. Now, part of why
Speaker 1: they this was so important to them is because when
Speaker 1: the Judgment happened to Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed,
Speaker 1: and it was through Roman armies, it was through Titus,
Speaker 1: and it was with fire and with armed warfare in
Speaker 1: Jerusalem when that happened, God didn't want any of the
Speaker 1: believers to fall prey to that, and so there was
Speaker 1: so much writing about this. The Jewish people had become
Speaker 1: the enemies of Christianity. Now they aren't our enemies, and
Speaker 1: we long for the Jewish people to be restored, and
Speaker 1: they will be According to Romans chapter eleven, they will
Speaker 1: be restored. And when they're restored, it says grafted back
Speaker 1: in Roman chapter eleven. When they're grafted back in, it's
Speaker 1: going to be like salvation to the entire world. So
Speaker 1: what's going to happen If you think life is good now,
Speaker 1: and if you think this is good as it increases,
Speaker 1: wait til the Jewish people are brought back in. Because
Speaker 1: when they're grafted back in, we're going to see the
Speaker 1: fulfillment of Romans chapter eight, where the suns of God
Speaker 1: begin to deliver the entire creation out of futility and
Speaker 1: out of the curse, and it's going to be like
Speaker 1: a crazy time of salvation. You can tell I'm already
Speaker 1: talking too loud. Uh so Ugo had to turn it
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Who could you turn it up
Speaker 1: a little bit? And then I'll talk quieter. This is
Speaker 1: a it's a reverse psychology thing that we go through.
Speaker 1: If I think I'm loud, I get quiet here that
Speaker 1: hear the ring? Now there's a little ring.
Speaker 2: Hear that. You didn't hear the ring? I can hear it.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm gonna calm down so hard.
Speaker 1: You want to try this sometimes, be still my soul,
Speaker 1: he's still sucking Peter Chapter three. Above all, you must
Speaker 1: understand that in the last days, scoffers will come scoffing
Speaker 1: and following their own evil desires. They will say, where
Speaker 1: is this coming? He promised? Now, there are three kinds
Speaker 1: of comings in the New Testament.
Speaker 2: Oh I like it?
Speaker 1: See how better that is?
Speaker 2: Isn't that? God? Keep it loud like that?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, maybe louder I don't know about there's three.
Speaker 1: There's three comings in the New Testament. One is a
Speaker 1: coming back. That's generally the only one we talk about
Speaker 1: in evangelical churches. We don't understand. There's other comings. There's
Speaker 1: another coming. That's the coming that Daniel talked about, and
Speaker 1: Jesus himself talked about it in Matthew sixteen twenty eight,
Speaker 1: coming into his kingdom. That's the second kind of coming,
Speaker 1: coming into his kingdom. There's a third coming that we
Speaker 1: get confused with these comings. The third coming is coming
Speaker 1: in judgment. There's a third coming. The third coming is
Speaker 1: coming in judgment. As Jesus talked in Matthew twenty four,
Speaker 1: he talked about the temple and not one stone will
Speaker 1: remain upon another, and he talked about the overthrow of
Speaker 1: the temple, and he was talking about a judgment coming.
Speaker 1: What he talked about in Matthew twenty four and Luke
Speaker 1: twenty one as a judgment coming. He's talking about the
Speaker 1: end of the Mosaic period, and he's talking about judging
Speaker 1: the Jewish people who have killed the prophets and rejected
Speaker 1: the Messiah. That's the coming he's talking about, is a
Speaker 1: coming of judgment. That's Matthew twenty four. That's First Peter.
Speaker 1: That's Second Peter three. What we're reading right now, So
Speaker 1: you'll notice that they're asking about a coming and a
Speaker 1: coming that was promised. Why is the coming promised? Because
Speaker 1: the coming, the new believers knew that they can't be
Speaker 1: two temples. The new believers knew, by the Holy Ghost,
Speaker 1: there's only going to be one temple, and it's this one,
Speaker 1: it's not that one. That one is going to be judged,
Speaker 1: and it's going to become obsolete, and it's going to
Speaker 1: pass away. This is Hebrews eight, Hebrews nine, et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. So and Paul is teaching this. They understood
Speaker 1: this to be true. And so this second coming or
Speaker 1: this coming of the Lord is a coming in judgment.
Speaker 1: So they say, where is this coming that he promised?
Speaker 1: Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on like the
Speaker 1: beginning of creation. But they deliberately forget that long ago,
Speaker 1: by God's word, the heavens came into being, and the
Speaker 1: earth was formed out of water and by water, and
Speaker 1: by these waters also the world that at that time
Speaker 1: was deluged and destroyed. Oh so we're talking about a
Speaker 1: delusion and a destruction. We're talking about a coming of judgment.
Speaker 1: By that same word, the present heavens and earth are
Speaker 1: reserved for fire.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's a fire coming.
Speaker 1: There's a fire judgment coming, and they are kept for
Speaker 1: the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. These
Speaker 1: are those who have resisted the Gospel, and they have
Speaker 1: crucified the Messiah, and they have put to death the prophets.
Speaker 1: But do not forget this one thing, dear friends. A
Speaker 1: day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and
Speaker 1: a thousand years are.
Speaker 2: Like a day.
Speaker 1: Now he's trying to tell them be patient, be patient,
Speaker 1: be patient, be patient.
Speaker 2: This is going to happen. Now. He's trying to tell them.
Speaker 1: To be patient because there was a great movement in
Speaker 1: the spirit realm afoot to mislead believers, to draw believers away,
Speaker 1: even to draw believers to false profits, even to Christ
Speaker 1: who would appear and say, come out here, come out here, Oh, the.
Speaker 2: Christ is out there.
Speaker 1: Because if they could be drawn away at the right hour,
Speaker 1: then they would come under the They lose of judgment
Speaker 1: that God was using Titus to meet out on Jerusalem,
Speaker 1: and were told time and time again that they were
Speaker 1: warned so that they would not come under that judgment.
Speaker 1: And for Theetsalonians five says, you know the times and
Speaker 1: the seasons, you know about this wrath but you are
Speaker 1: not children in the brath. You're not destined for wrath.
Speaker 1: The believers were believers who were blessed to be led
Speaker 1: of God into a place called Pella. They all went
Speaker 1: to a place called Pella, and in that city they were.
Speaker 2: Delivered and preserved. So but this is these are scriptures.
Speaker 1: About, you know, the warnings of those things coming. The
Speaker 1: Lord is not slow about keeping his promises. Understand slowness. Instead,
Speaker 1: he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish,
Speaker 1: but everyone to come to repentance.
Speaker 2: But the day of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Now, this destruction that came upon the Temple and upon
Speaker 1: Jerusalem and the sacrificial system was called the Day of
Speaker 1: the Lord as well as it was called the Great Tribulation.
Speaker 1: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
Speaker 1: The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will
Speaker 1: be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done
Speaker 1: in it laid bare. And it's the focus is not
Speaker 1: the global earth that focuses the land. And if you
Speaker 1: look at the translations, especially in the Book of Revelation,
Speaker 1: you're going to find and in Matthew twenty four, when
Speaker 1: it speaks most translators translated the earth, but it's actually
Speaker 1: the land, and the tribes of the land will see
Speaker 1: him coming in judgment. It's the Jewish land, it's Israel.
Speaker 1: So the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
Speaker 1: The heavens will disappear. The heavens will disappear. This refers
Speaker 1: a lot to where in Deuteronomy thirty two we find
Speaker 1: a passage about Genesis chapter eleven. In Genesis chapter eleven,
Speaker 1: God divides the nations. Genesis nine is the flood. They
Speaker 1: come out of the arc, and then there's the table
Speaker 1: of nations. He divides the nations up and there's like
Speaker 1: seventy nations here. But in Genesis chapter eleven, they've rebelled.
Speaker 1: They've built a temple edifice, a zigarett, a temple edifice,
Speaker 1: and they're already seeking false gods in Genesis chapter eleven,
Speaker 1: and God comes in the midst of them and he
Speaker 1: divides them up because they're in rebellion, and he scatters
Speaker 1: them across the earth. And when he does this, he
Speaker 1: assigns Elohim to them.
Speaker 2: Eight and nine.
Speaker 1: There's other passages talk about these lesser gods. Sixty nine
Speaker 1: Elohim were assigned to these rebellious nations to be governors
Speaker 1: over these nations, like the Prince of Persia referred to
Speaker 1: in Daniel chapter ten, and like Daniel, and like.
Speaker 2: Paul would have referred to.
Speaker 1: Paul referred to this in Ephesians chapter six ten through eighteen.
Speaker 1: He understood that these rulers over the nations were the
Speaker 1: ones that were being judged, and they were losing their
Speaker 1: authority to hold the people. And God was delivering the
Speaker 1: people out from under these what he called principalities and powers,
Speaker 1: and Jesus was being exalted in all of the nations
Speaker 1: were being brought in to the kingdom. And that was
Speaker 1: happening even right here in the beginning, as there was
Speaker 1: this initial launch of the Kingdom of Heaven. So this
Speaker 1: judgment that was taking place here, it was simultaneous with
Speaker 1: the exaltation of Jesus the last atom into the heavens.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't do it over here, forget my hand, forget
Speaker 1: Jesus being exalted over here in the heavens. And Revelation
Speaker 1: twelve seven through eleven talk about this. Actually, Revelation twelve,
Speaker 1: verse one two, it talks about the one third of
Speaker 1: the angels, and then Revelation twelve seven through eleven talks
Speaker 1: about the war in heaven where the dragon is cast
Speaker 1: down and cast out of the heavens. So what we're
Speaker 1: seeing is these Elohim who were ruling over the nations.
Speaker 1: And it says here that only Israel or Jacob was
Speaker 1: reserved as God's nation. So God reserved And I'm going fast,
Speaker 1: come to Kingdom School of Transformation, register and we go deep.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to help you. God bless you. So
Speaker 1: if you think about this, think about this, even as
Speaker 1: you you know, all of us in our understanding of
Speaker 1: the Old Testament, what we see is Israel against the nations,
Speaker 1: and all the nations against Israel. We see Jehovah or
Speaker 1: Yahweh against all of the gods, and all of the
Speaker 1: gods against Yahweh. It's because all of the other nations,
Speaker 1: the elohem that they were turned over to, were apostate.
Speaker 1: They turned apostate, they turned against God, they governed in unrighteousness,
Speaker 1: and they led the nations into idolatry so that they
Speaker 1: could control them. And they led them apostate, into witchcraft
Speaker 1: and into Satanism and everything that was unclean. All right
Speaker 1: with me, so far, and so even here in two Peter,
Speaker 1: where he says that this judgment that's going to take
Speaker 1: place as Christ is exalted, there's a judgment not only
Speaker 1: on Israel, but everything is being shaken. And the full
Speaker 1: consummation of the exaltation of the second atom, the last atom,
Speaker 1: as he comes into his glory, is that those elo him.
Speaker 1: And they were called in the Bible. In many places,
Speaker 1: they were called the stars, they were called the host
Speaker 1: of heaven. For instance, in Deuteronomy seventeen, they're instructed, do
Speaker 1: not bow down to the host of heaven. And so
Speaker 1: look at that. You can see that. So what we
Speaker 1: see is that in this judgment of the exaltation of Jesus,
Speaker 1: those Elohim were cast down. They were judged because of
Speaker 1: the way they led the nations. They were judged and
Speaker 1: cast down. And now Jesus begins to plunder the lost
Speaker 1: out of every nation, and he begins to bring all
Speaker 1: of them into the kingdom. And it's really a reverse
Speaker 1: of Babel. Even the day of Pentecost was a reverse.
Speaker 1: Today's the day of Pentecost by the one everybody shouts
Speaker 1: shabbat this this is the fiftieth day after Passover. Even
Speaker 1: the Day of Pentecost was I shouldn't say even. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Day of Pentecost was a reverse of Babel, reverse
Speaker 1: of Babel. And it's we're told in Acts chapter two.
Speaker 1: We're told in Acts chapter two even that there were
Speaker 1: people there from every nation under the sun. Acts chapter two,
Speaker 1: verse five. Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout
Speaker 1: men from every nation under heaven.
Speaker 2: Did you hear that? Now here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Back here in about eighty thirty two, Jesus is giving
Speaker 1: them this warning. He's telling them what's coming. It might
Speaker 1: have been eighty thirty two point five. It was someone there.
Speaker 1: He's giving them all the warnings. That's Matthew twenty three,
Speaker 1: Matthew twenty four, Luke twenty one.
Speaker 2: We're going to read it in a minute.
Speaker 1: He's giving them all these warnings over here, and he's
Speaker 1: telling them that first the Gospel has to go out
Speaker 1: to every nation, and then the end will come. We're
Speaker 1: over here waiting for the Gospel to go out to
Speaker 1: every nation and then the end will come.
Speaker 2: Thinking that's a sign of the end. It's not. It
Speaker 2: was a sign of this end.
Speaker 1: Before the Temple was destroyed, God was re enacting a
Speaker 1: very well choreographed reverse babble.
Speaker 2: And through the dispersing of.
Speaker 1: Israel earlier, through their sins in the every nation, God
Speaker 1: had seeded Jewish people in every nation on the globe.
Speaker 1: They had come together for Passover, and they had lingered
Speaker 1: with their family through Pentecost. On the day of Pentecost,
Speaker 1: which is the same exact day that God visited Moses
Speaker 1: on Mount Sinai with fire and gave him the Law.
Speaker 1: On the same exact day on Pentecost, God visits the
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty in the upper room and pours
Speaker 1: out fire and an indwelling word and a glory that
Speaker 1: they couldn't hide under a veil. This is the day
Speaker 1: of Pentecost, and he launches the church. And then he
Speaker 1: pours them out into the crowd. And in the crowd
Speaker 1: there is somebody there from every nation under the sun.
Speaker 1: And they all hear them speaking of the glories of
Speaker 1: God and the resurrection of Jesus in their own tongue.
Speaker 2: Guess what.
Speaker 1: Then they all went home. Then they all went home.
Speaker 1: They went to Africa, They went to they went to
Speaker 1: Italy existed, I'm trying to remember what it was called.
Speaker 1: They went to Spain, they went to Italy, they went
Speaker 1: the Cappadocian, they went to cre they went everywhere. They
Speaker 1: all went back. And guess what they did when they
Speaker 1: went back. They preached the gospel. They took the gospel
Speaker 1: with them. The gospel went out to the entire world.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean we aren't supposed to evangelize. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean we're done. We aren't done till the fullness of
Speaker 1: the gentiles come in. The fullness of the gentiles haven't
Speaker 1: come in. Israel will be saved when the fullness of
Speaker 1: the Gentiles come in. This is Romans chapter eleven. Israel
Speaker 1: will be saved. This is how we know that the
Speaker 1: Lord's not coming this afternoon. Now, he might come for
Speaker 1: you this afternoon. He might even come for me this heaven.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the reason we know that he's not come
Speaker 1: this afternoon and we are on this heaven on earth
Speaker 1: trajectory is because the fullness of the Gentiles hasn't come
Speaker 1: in yet, and he has not gathered back or grafted
Speaker 1: back in the Jewish people. Before this is over, He's
Speaker 1: going to graft in the Jewish people. And he says,
Speaker 1: when he grabs in the Jewish people. It's going to
Speaker 1: be like what I did tell you, salvation for the
Speaker 1: entire globe. Now I'm going to read to you what
Speaker 1: that means in a moment, because we got a close.
Speaker 1: We're already on our first closing. I need the piano
Speaker 1: playing to remind me because we have to quit early
Speaker 1: today because we have we're launching all of our summer
Speaker 1: connected groups and house parties and all that fun stuff,
Speaker 1: and we want you to be a part of it
Speaker 1: and share in particul of our community.
Speaker 2: Amen, Where was I Did I ever finish?
Speaker 1: Second?
Speaker 2: Peter?
Speaker 1: No, I never did. Since everything will be destroyed this
Speaker 1: way Verse eleven. What kind of people you ought to be?
Speaker 1: You ought to live holy in godly lives. As you
Speaker 1: look forward to the day of the Lord or the
Speaker 1: Day of God, remember that's what the tribulation was called.
Speaker 1: And speed it's coming. That day will bring about destruction
Speaker 1: of the heavens by fire. He brings it up again.
Speaker 1: Everything's going to be rearranged. It's a new heaven and
Speaker 1: a new Earth. All these Elohim are going to be
Speaker 1: judged and cast down, and the plunder of all the
Speaker 1: nations is going to be given over to Jesus and
Speaker 1: the elements will melt in heat. But in keeping with
Speaker 1: his promise, the promise of Jesus about this coming, there's
Speaker 1: three kinds of comings. This is a coming of judgment.
Speaker 1: In keeping with his promise, we are looking forward to
Speaker 1: a new heaven and a new Earth where righteousness dwells. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go over and read in our first closing,
Speaker 1: and I got to do this fast because I'm all
Speaker 1: really in big trouble. We can't go to Matthew twenty four.
Speaker 2: You got to come back. Do you hate me yet? No?
Speaker 2: Oh good, you gotta come back then, all right. So
Speaker 2: Isaiah sixty five, I want you to see this. Isaiah
Speaker 2: sixty five.
Speaker 1: Is a figurative and a pictorial fulfillment of what we
Speaker 1: live in as New Covenant believers, because according to Galatians
Speaker 1: four twenty six and isa and Hebrews Galatians four twenty
Speaker 1: six and Hebrews twelve, we already approach Zion. We already
Speaker 1: come to the Zion above, the Jerusalem that is above.
Speaker 1: But I want you to see this real quick, for
Speaker 1: be whole, like create a new having it at new Earth,
Speaker 1: and the former things will not be remembered to come
Speaker 1: to mind, But be glad and rejoice forever in what
Speaker 1: I create. For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing. First
Speaker 1: there's a new Jerusalem. That's the Jerusalem we approach. Then
Speaker 1: there will be a fulfillment in a literal Jerusalem of
Speaker 1: all that I'm about to read.
Speaker 2: When they're grafted back in, and there will no longer
Speaker 2: be heard in her, The.
Speaker 1: Voice of weeping or the sound of crying, no longer
Speaker 1: will be there be in it an infant who only
Speaker 1: lives a few days, or an old person who does
Speaker 1: not live out his days. For the youth will die
Speaker 1: at the age of one hundred, and the one who
Speaker 1: does not reach the age of one hundred will be
Speaker 1: thought to be cursed. So this is before the last Day.
Speaker 1: People are still dying. This is like the last Hour. Right,
Speaker 1: people are still dying. But Israel's been grafted back in,
Speaker 1: and the blessings of righteousness are now covering the entire earth.
Speaker 1: The knowledge of the glory of God is covering the
Speaker 1: earth like the waters cover the sea. For the youth
Speaker 1: will diet one hundred. The one who does not reach
Speaker 1: a hundred will be thought to be a curse. They
Speaker 1: will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards
Speaker 1: and eat their fruit. They will not build in another
Speaker 1: inhabit They will not plant and another eat. For as
Speaker 1: the life of a tree, the lifetime of the tree,
Speaker 1: so will be the days of my people. And my
Speaker 1: chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
Speaker 1: An under translation says, they'll wear out the.
Speaker 2: Work of their hands.
Speaker 1: They will not labor in vain or give birth to
Speaker 1: children a disaster. For they are descendants of these that
Speaker 1: are blessed by the Lord, and their descendants with them.
Speaker 1: And they will come to pass that. Before they call,
Speaker 1: I will answer. While they are still speaking, I will
Speaker 1: listen the wolf in the lamb. That's why I'm a pastor.
Speaker 1: The wolf and the lamb will graze together. Now listen,
Speaker 1: listen the shaloma. During this period, the shalom of the
Speaker 1: Lord covers the earth so power that violence is extracted
Speaker 1: out of nature. This is before the last day, before
Speaker 1: the last day, while people are still dying.
Speaker 2: The shaloma the Lord.
Speaker 1: Because the Kingdom is righteousness, shaloam, righteousness, peace and joy.
Speaker 1: The Kingdom is righteousness, peace, shalom, and joy. That's what
Speaker 1: the kingdom is. Well as it grows, it advances, and
Speaker 1: we become glorious, and he puts every enemy under our feet.
Speaker 1: Even before he comes back, the wolf and the lamb
Speaker 1: will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like
Speaker 1: the aux.
Speaker 2: Oh, the lion won't.
Speaker 1: Eat meat anymore. Oh, there's going to be a shift
Speaker 1: in the earth. The earth is going to be coming
Speaker 1: under restoration because of the suns of God, delivering the
Speaker 1: earth out of futility and out of the curse, even
Speaker 1: before he comes back. When he comes back, he comes
Speaker 1: back to put death under his feet and to consummate
Speaker 1: that which he's already begune through us the Church as sin.
Speaker 1: This is why, in so many ways it's called the
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven. Why it's called the Kingdom of Heaven
Speaker 1: on earth. This is why so much of our focus
Speaker 1: is supposed to be on Thy Kingdom. Come Thy will
Speaker 1: be done on earth as it is in heaven, because
Speaker 1: this is the season for that. It's actually possible. This
Speaker 1: is not something we've made up. It's not make believe.
Speaker 1: It's not a hope to or maybe this is a truth.
Speaker 1: I need all the connect leaders to go to your tables,
Speaker 1: get your goodies ready. We've got goodies at all the tables,
Speaker 1: blessings and refreshments we're distributing this morning. And as we close,
Speaker 1: we're gonna close rejoicing, right, we're gonna close rejoicing that
Speaker 1: we participate in so much victory that we've been born
Speaker 1: in this crazy generation and we're a family together.
Speaker 2: So uh, this is all about you.
Speaker 1: Know, the summer is short, like summer short, Well, we
Speaker 1: get four weeks of sunshine something that I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you know, summer is short. But we've got these
Speaker 1: groups where we can connect. And it's not like you
Speaker 1: got to it's not like anything is overdone. We're not
