Good evening and welcome to another Yeah. What's right, what's left? the legendary voice of the Christian Resistance on this august ninth, twenty twenty six. And tonight. Uh the title of our mess well Our producer is none other than Mighty Mike.
Hey, Mighty Mike. Hey, Pastor, how are ya? Ready to roll. Ready to roll, already. Here's the title of the message.
When you're left behind, is there still hope? when you're left behind and so That's one of the questions, Mike, that we get more than Then others says, What'll happen? Is there any hope if you get left behind after the rapture takes place?
Well, that's what we're going to look at tonight. But we start out by talking about, you know, God didn't leave us. uh in the dark to be ignored by the past, the present, or the future. He gave us The only absolutely perfectly inerrant account of creation from its beginning through eternity. There has never, no, not ever, ever been, in all of man's.
history any other account that could even begin to come close to having the historic accuracy while at the same time Predicting the future. with absolute precise observable accuracy.
So the Bible is the only source of absolute and unmatched authority. And tonight we're going to start. By what a scenario? Just imagine Waking up. to the sound of sirens Uh Commotion.
you head to the window to to see what all the commotion is about. And you're met in the hallway and by your totally A distraught teenage daughter And she's babbling. She's saying Mom is gone. And she left the stove on. Uh after cooking breakfast and And dead.
She left her clothes in a pile. on the floor. Then she cries, I can't find Jacob. Uh Her nine-year-old brother. Or Ellie.
Her five-year-old daughter. A five-year-old sister. And so Here She goes on to say that Cars are crashing into each other out there in the streets. And There's fires. Burning all through our neighborhood.
Daddy, I'm I'm so afraid. Please tell me what is happening? Where is Mom and the Kids? Then, then The reality hits you. This is what the preacher was saying.
was going to happen.
Now Now you remember. The preacher said to use A King James Bible When it becomes necessary, when this happens. It's the real Bible.
So you start looking for one. Hopefully it'll tell you. What you need to do. Oh, you think to yourself over and over, Oh, how I wished that I had listened that I had listened and paid attention. when the preacher kept talking about making your salvation sure, Over and over he mentioned that, making your salvation sure.
And I thought to myself, well, I guess. I have more good works than bad. I guess I'm. I'm okay in standing. But I was wrong I was very, very wrong.
But at least at least it looks like my wife and my My youngest apparently made it to heaven. I've got to get saved. I've got to get saved. But first I've got to to get my daughter saved. I remember hearing The pastor giving the invitation.
Please, God, don't let it be too late. Please, God. Don't let them force us into denying you. Please. Tell us what to do.
And where to go. Oh How I wished that I had listened to that preacher I remember Him reading. From Hebrews. Hebrews thirteen, verse seven. Remember them Which had the rule over you?
and have spoken unto you The word of God? whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation, Well now He's referring to that Verse seven The number seven is a number. For perfection. But then we go to verse seventeen. The verse 10 Are the number ten?
Is a number for completion. And so that they let numbers together refers to perfect completion. Then he goes on to say in verse seventeen Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves For they watch for your souls. as they must give account. that they may do it with joy and not with grief.
for it is unprofitable for you. And so Here I'm gonna start out tonight. In 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 and we're going to take a look at The beginning Yeah. On the day of Christ the rapture of the church But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep. that you sorrow not, Even as others which have no hope.
When it refers to a sleep here Death for a Christian is considered merely being asleep here. Sleep. here applies only to the body, for the soul and the spirit are are with the Lord, Second Corinthians five eight in fact. And when he says there's no hope The Christian's unique hope And that's the same word that we have for assurance. when they cannot be shared by non Christian folks.
He goes on to say For if we believe. That Jesus died and rose again Even so them which sleep in Jesus. God will bring with him. And so here He's referring to the return of the Lord back. To the first heaven, what we call the sky out there, what we call the sky.
Now the Lord returns back with the the the s spirits and the souls of believers. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord. that we which are alive, and remain unto the coming of the Lord, should not prevent them which are asleep, first the Old Testament saints, And then the New Testament saints, those that are have uh died and have and whose bodies are resting and will come before those of us that are still alive when the rapture takes place. For the Lord himself Shall I send? From heaven with a shout and with the voice of the archangel, And the trump of God, And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
This is called the day Of the of Christ, the day of Christ. The day of Christ. Always refers to salvation, to redeem redemption to deliverance, okay. It's different than the day of the Lord, as we're we're going to see here. People often confuse the two.
Then we which are alive, and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And we shall ever be with the Lord.
Now The clouds here are not the the white powdery or puffy vapours that we see, The clouds here ref refers to Saints. the return of the Lord with the saints. In fact, If you go over For example The Hebrews chapter twelve And in Hebrews chapter twelve we read Wherefore see we are also capazed about, with so great a cloud of witnesses, Let us say Aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset us. and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. That cloud of witnesses referring to The saints, the saints.
And so here He goes on to continue. With the The day of the Lord. In the day of the Lord. always deals with judgment. But of the times And of the seasons, brethren.
You have no need that I write unto you. Here, the phrase times and seasons occurs elsewhere only in Acts 1. Verse seven, in fact Uh The Times have to do with the chronology of future periods. Of course the seasons Uh Well, you might say the characteristics of those periods is though. Of the times and the seasons, whether you have no need that I write unto you, for you are yourselves No perfectly That the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say peace and safety, Then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman. with child, and they shall not escape.
Now this is The start of the tribulation period. But you, brethren, are not in darkness. That that they should overtake you as a thief You're All the children of light And the children of the day, we are not of the night nor of darkness. Wherefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober. In other words, be awake Uh be alert.
Other times now Again, it is very, very important that you understand Here. What salvation means. Are you saved? How many times have you heard? Uh Preachers preach about making your salvation sure, making your salvation sure over and over.
For they that sleep In the night, and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith, love and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
Now this next verse is very important because It says this For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus. The wrath that he is talking about is the tribulation period. He's tellin' you here That The tribulation period is not meant for believers. We will not go through the tribulation period. And in several places that is made very, very clear in the Scripture.
Who died for us that whether we wake or asleep. We should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another even as you do. And now I want to go over to 2 Thessalonians. And before I do that, I'm gonna Yeah.
Get a little wet my whistle here. Very quickly. This is actually the fourth time today. Then I'm preaching. And we start in 2 Thessalonians 2.
Now we beseech you, brethren. By the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by our gathering together into Him. Here the Apostle is referring to his previous letter to the The Thessalonians He explained. gathering together into hymns is the rapture of the church That you be not soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit nor by word. nor by Christ is from us As this The day of crisis nor by letter as from us as this is the day of Christ is at hand.
So He's telling them, remember, this took place Uh This was written after seventy AD. In seventy AD, What had happened?
Well, They had stormed a temple.
Well Jerusalem. burnt the temple and today you have what we call preterist Prehistoric. They believe that that the rapture had taken place prior to that, And that here, that was actually the start of the tribulation period. that the Bible's referring to. But it's not because here Obviously this is after this was written after that.
Paul is talking about that because there were those that were writing letters to the church and at Thessalonia The Basil of Nica. And telling them that the rapture had already taken place.
Sorry, but you got left behind.
Okay. And so here, that's what he says that that you be not soon shaken in mind, or troubled, neither by spirit nor by word. nor by letter from us as the Day of Christ is at hand. That's the rapture of the church, the day of salvation. Let no man deceive you by any means For that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and the man of sin be revealed, The son of perdition.
No. Many places in Scripture Subjects have more than one application. And this is one of those cases where it's got more than one application. Because he's talking about this great falling away, the great apostasia, okay.
Now here Um It's commonly referred to as the great apostasy. And the great apostasy talks about falling away from The faith. Falling away from the faith, falling away from the the gospel, from the the the true cheap teaching of the Word of God. and to day it's worse than it's ever been. as far as the apostasy that's out there today.
Um The vast, vast majority Of churches, and the vast majority of those in the pulpit today. are apostate. They are apostate, and I mean the vast majority. are not preaching the true gospel, the true Word of God.
Now, He says here and the other Um application to that is here When he talks away that word. Uh is derived imposter. It's is derived from Uh two words. And here It's derived from two words. And you know what?
I've got I'm getting a cold. It may be. It may be an emergency call. I better probably take it, okay? Hold on, because this is from a pastor.
How you know I'm on the air. Oh, I didn't know about it.
Okay, I'm sorry. Hope you get a lot of people saved.
Alrighty, I I didn't know because I I know you left in pain today and I I didn't know this could be an emergency.
Well no.
Okay. Praise the Lord. Get him saved, Pastor.
Alrighty.
Okay. Uh Here folks uh so Here I've held had left I had to do the service for him today because he was uh in such pain for his uh his injuries on his legs, and I thought this might be an emergency. situation here but um Going back to where I was Um When we were talking about the apostasy, the falling away.
Now that word Apostasy comes from two words apo The Greek word apo meaning away from, away from, And then Stasus apostasis Okay, which means standing.
So in other words, he's saying the other application is standing away from and during the rapture of the church The saints are standing away from the earth. They're standing away from the earth. When the Lord returns. Uh He he doesn't come back to earth, he comes to the first heaven. with the souls and spirits of all the saints.
He resurrects their bodies up out of the earth, And They The bodies and the souls Uh are put together with a and the spirits in the souls are joined together with a glorified body, a new body. A glorified And so he goes to say here Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except for they come a falling away. In the day of sin be the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposes and exalted himself over above all that is called God. or that is worshipped, So that he as God said in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Remember you not that when I was yet with you I told you these things. And now you know What withholdeth That he might be revealed. in his time. Uh That the Thessalonians should have known what was restraining the man of sin. And of course the dread of it.
I must await the rapture. Of course it was the Holy Spirit that was dwelling within the believers at that time which was restraining The Antichrist. And now you know what withholdeth, that he might be revealed in this time. But the mystery of iniquity doth already work. That means the Antichrist, the Spirit of the Antichrist was already out there.
But he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way. In other words, that word is the same. Uh It was a That word actually is rev was derived from an old English Latin word lattean, Uh oh. And In other words, um I meant to. To delay, to delay Or to make late And so he's saying here heated now.
Delays makes late. Oh. ki and holds back, okay. Of course we know again. That's dealing with the Holy Spirit.
And so he says, And now we know what withholdeth, that he might be revealed in this time. For the ministry of iniquity doth already work, only he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the way. and then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy With the brightness of his coming, of course that's the Antichrist. And that would also apply to uh Satan himself. Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan.
with all power and signs And lying wonders. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth. that they might be saved. He goes on to say. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie.
that they might all be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure. in unrighteousness Now he's referring to those That We're given the gospel. heard the gospel, understood the gospel. and rejected it. And some mocked the gospel.
like those of today that are doing the same thing.
So he goes on to say But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you. Brethren, beloved brethren, Of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation. through sanctification of the Spirit, and the belief of the truth.
Well, God From the very beginning he predestined Now this is a very, very, very hard thing. It did try to rep you bring about. I mean, it's it's it's very hard, you know. We have all of these data centers that are popping up everywhere you turn. They're building data centers, data centers.
And all that data, they're c is collecting data on us. On us. Information, you know. That's what it's all about, about all All kinds of things now. The interesting thing is this.
I mean, pretty soon.
Well They're everything we're being watched continuously, listened to. This broadcast right now is being listened to. And everything that's that's in this broadcast right now is going to be put in a data center somewhere.
Okay. And so Here he goes on to say. And let me I started to say all this. God In God Is contained in God is contained all of the knowledge All of the history. From the very beginning from time past.
In other words, In God there is a record, okay? The knowledge is kept. God is has all knowledge of all events that ever existed. It's very, very Hard to try to wrap your brain around that. But God is omniscient.
He's all knowledge.
So Every word that was ever spoken, every promise that was ever made, every Every thought that ever occurred was That is contained. God has a knowledge of that. And you say, Boy, is that hard. Hard to to again to to wrap your brain around.
Well, yeah, it is. Whereunto He called you by our gospel to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, Stand fast, hold the traditions which you have been taught. whether by word or by epistle.
Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself And God even our Father, which has loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, And good hope. through grace. Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work. No. With that, I want to go over very quickly to Revelation chapter 13.
And in Revelation chapter thirteen. Here We see And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a great beast rise up out of the sea, Having seven heads and ten horns, and upon the horns ten crowns, and upon the the heads the name of blasphemy.
Now Whenever the sea is referred to there It's not talking about water, okay? Uh he's talking about Uh The Gentile Nations. In fact, if you go over To Revelation chapter 17, for example. And we read verse 15. And he saith unto me, the waters which thou sawest, where the hoarse sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
So he's talking about here The Antichrist comes up out of the Gentile nations. And The beast which I saw was likened to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of the bear. and his mouth is the mouth of a lion. and the dragon gave him his power. and his seat and authority Well, uh this hybrid beast, part lion, part bear, part leopard, part dragon.
Um is a c composite, if you will, of the three beasts that Uh Daniel spoke on Daniel chapter seven, verses one through six. But here's the thing.
Okay. I I looked at this and I thought of Barack Obama. And as I get through here, I'll tell you why. As we go through well, let me read another verse or two. And I saw one of the heads, as it were, wounded to death.
And his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast.
Now When I said this, I I think about Barack Obama, and here's why. If you remember going back to his coronation Back in 2008. Here all along Constitution Avenue. As I walked along Constitution Avenue there, You have these vendors. And probably, you know, about every you know, fifty, sixty yards.
I mean, there were a lot of these vendors. Uh you had these vendors set up and they had these plaques. and these plaques were about fourteen inches high and about eighteen inches long. And on these plaques you have five Very slight ovals, very slight ovals. And it started, you know, if you're holding it up, looking at it in front of you.
In the left-hand corner at the bottom it started with the oval of Abraham Lincoln. And then if you you go up uh Until about ten o'clock. you would have You know, it started let's just say you're looking at a clock It would start the first one, Abraham Lincoln, would be at about eight o'clock, and then you would go up to about ten o'clock there, And that would be J of K. J of K. And then right at high noon they had Martin Luther King, And then around the two o'clock would have been Uh Robert of Kennedy And then at four o'clock it was Barack Obama.
Now The first four these first four all had something in common. They were all assassinated, and they were all shot in the head. But why was Barack Obama on here? What was the What was the what was the purpose here? Was Barack Obama sending a message out there?
Uh The Antichrist system? If Barack Obama should receive a mortal headphones, should we expect him to Oh. Be revived? Like it says here. Again.
And I saw one of his heads, as it were, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed, and all the world wondered after the beast.
Well, you say, Well, why would you you know, yeah, that that I can see what you're getting up there, but Well, there's more to it than that. Barack Obama's name is in Scripture in at at least two places. And other things that took place at that time, he The car he had built for himself was called The Beast. And His on the and the day he won the election, the winning lottery number They're in Illinois with six six six And Barack Obama's zip code for his office, the mailing zip code. with six zero six zero six.
And then Many, many times we've read out of Isaiah. And out of Uh Mark We have read the scriptures of did referred to Barack Obama. Anyhow.
So that's what uh what brought him to mind there. Getting back to the Scripture. And they worshipped the dragon, which gave power unto the beast, And they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Uh who is able to make war with him.
Now To understand the dragon he's referring to. We have to jump back. into Revelation chapter 12. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, Now that the clothing with the sun, first of all the woman is There's two applications here. One, uh is the nation of Israel the nation of Israel And two.
Uh Mary. The Virgin Mary. And here having Uh clothes with the sun is referring to Power and authority and majesty. And then the moon under her feet Well, the The um Sign the Islamic sign. As the crescent moon The archenemies the archenemies of Israel of the woman.
And she being with child cried in travail. In birth and pain to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven, behold a great red dragon. Having seven heads and ten horns. Seven crowns.
Uh On his head. And so here He's talking about again, this is the the dragon. Satan himself. And his tail drew The third of the stars of heaven those were the angels, fallen angels, and did cast him to the earth. and the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Well, he you saw he started back in Egypt trying to eliminate the Jews. Back in uh And that day And then remember he went after Queen Esther. And in Mordecai's day they wanted to destroy All of the Jews again there was And then of course in the the uh The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. All of the male babies Jewish babies were to be destroyed, and of course since then. There's been numerous others where They've tried to totally eliminate The nation of Israel because Messiah would come from the nation of Israel.
And so and she brought forth a man child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, and her child was caught up into God into the stroke. Of course that's the Lord Jesus Christ. And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared for her, of God in her feet. And feed her there a thousand Two hundred and three score days.
So he's talking about during the tribulation period. we see in Zachariah chapter fourteen it Uh Israel will be taken in. And kid. Yeah. And so here Uh we want to take a look at The rapture here The folks is a wake-up call.
It's a wake up for the dull of hearing. You still may have a chance. Let's just say that you wake up and you find out. That The rapture had taken place and And, um, well, And you're you're still here?
So what do you do now?
Well, first you have to realize this is The last call. This is it. Those are the ones. Um First of all, you must hold fast. to Christ crucified.
In other words, you must absolutely believe with no doubts in the Um Birth The resurrection and the birth, the death, and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. and that he is able to do all that he says he will do, And so you've got to put your your faith and your trust in him completely, completely. Um Here Then there must be now see, during this period of time It's not gonna be like like it was uh prior to that. Prior to that were saved by grace and not of works lest any man should boast.
Well, That's true. At the same time that Faith without works is dead being alone. In other words, if in fact You have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. If, in fact, the Holy Spirit dwells within you, there will be you'll have a burning desire to serve God.
Now, a lot of people out there say, well, I feel I feel confident that I'm saved. But then I say, well, where's do you have that burning desire? Do you want to serve God? Are you one of those that say, Well, you know, You know, I guess my good works outweighs my bad. I guess I'm not in too bad a shape.
Well, no. This is why we've preached over and over and over and over again. on making your salvation sure. Making your salvation sure. And so here Uh The point is Are you ready now?
Because if you're you're things are gonna get tough. You've heard the gospel. You never rejected the gospel. You never. You never reject it like those that we just read about in Second Thessalonians, where God sent him strong delusion.
Because they heard, they understood And then they rejected him.
Now with you you haven't done that. You've y you you're here? You thought you were saved? You but you've now you've woken up to a very rude awakening. You're still here.
and you're looking around there's piles of clothes laying around uh where people used to be you saw Airplanes crashing because all of a sudden they had no pilot out there. You had car wrecks because all of a sudden the drivers of the cars were gone. Uh All kinds of things. You might be Might have been settin' in the church, and all of a sudden the pastor disappeared, on you. And you're looking around.
And there's a few people that aren't aren't there Just piles of clothes. And you're realizing Wow, you know. I should have paid closer attention. And so here At first it's just going to Make sure that uh Well, the first thing you have to make sure is you do not take the number of the beast. You do not take the n number the six six six, the mark of the beast, you don't take that.
Now at this time He kills he tells you. In fact, let me go ahead and read here. Where he says Uh For here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding Count the number of the beasts, for it is the number of a man It is numbered six hundred threescore and six.
Now There will be those during that tribulation period who are You know, those that have a Technically. advanced, you know, these guys that are you know, the computer whizzes or wizards, if you will. That we're gonna try and maybe some might be successful. They're gonna counterfeit the number. The counterfeit there, the fiend.
Well, we're not gonna Take it, but you see Uh You're getting into kind of muddy waters there. You gotta be careful because even if the appearance that you're accepting. that, okay? But The point that he's making is you do not under any circumstance Take the mark of the beast. And he goes on to say, And there was given unto him a mouth, talking about speaking great things.
Blasphemies Power was given unto him to continue a forty in two months. Three and a half years. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme him his name in the tabernacle of them that dwell in heaven.
Now when I said when I think about Barack Obama I remember Watching Barack Obama As he said with this arrogant look on his face, I don't know. I am Now I am is a name for God. And then he paused. The one Another pause. That you have been waiting for.
And I s I saw what he did there, I am. The one That you've been waiting for. And then he went on to say, I am The one that I've been waiting for.
Now he said where he talks about blaspheming here Blaspheming God. He said that The Lord Jesus was a Savior. In fact, he said. He was my Saviour. But remember.
The devil, the Antichrist, is a liar and the father of them. But he said But it's only one Of many Saviours, he's only one of many in other words He's saying that there's many other messiahs. many other ways to get to heaven other than the Lord Jesus Christ. That, my friends, is called blasphemy. That's blasphemy.
And so Here What I wanted to say also Uh he goes on to say And behold, another beast coming up out of the earth, and he that had two horns like a lamb. and he spake as a dragon, This is the false prophet. The false prophet, whenever they talk about coming up out of the earth, The earth is referred to as Israel. Those are referred to as a Jew, okay. and he ex exercised the power of the first beast before him, It causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship.
and the first piece whose deadly wound was healed, And so If And and I'm thinking maybe that whole purpose of that plaque is to send an esoteric message out there. And then Shit Obama for any reason receive that mortal head whom and then be revived well then Yeah. There wouldn't be any questions at all, would there?
Well, we go on to say now Here Uh If you find yourself there, you find yourself After still here, after the rapture of the church takes place, and you're in the middle of the tribulation period. You're not going to be alone. There's going to be a lot of people with you. But there are going to be a lot of people, a lot of people get saved during that period because it's going to be. A hundred and forty four Flaming John the Baptist There's going to be a hundred and forty four.
here and I look in Loa Lamb stood on the The moon I'm the Mount Zion. and with him a hundred and forty four thousand. having the father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven as The voice of many waters. And the voice of A great thunder When he says many waters again he's talking about it's a voice of like many, many peoples, many nations.
And I heard the voice of the harpers harping with their harps, And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders, and no man could learn the song, but he but a hundred and forty four thousand which were redeemed From the earth They are those which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whitherso he goeth. These were redeemed from the among the men being the first fruits unto God and the Lamb. and in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without fault, before the throne of God.
So these are a hundred and forty four young Jewish men who have not been defiled, never been with a woman. And so here now As we continue here. During this time During this time Uh if you if you find out you're there and especially There's going to be I had I remember a pastor talking and saying, After thirty years in the pulpit. Preaching He suddenly Realized. One day.
That he was not saved. And so there's going to be There's gonna be a lot of these preachers I lo especially those I call prissy preachers. Yeah. The Bible says the righteous are as bold as lions.
Okay. And But there's gonna be a lot of them that You know, stayed in comfort zone, didn't? Really? They they preached what gospel they could preached Uh and they could do it in the comfort zone. A little bit too afraid.
To say too much about the America's national sin, that horrible sin of abortion, because. They didn't want to cause to be controversial. Didn't want to To upset too many people in the congregation. Didn't want to offend the offering plate at all. And so they kinda just preached what gospel they could preach without causing much of a ruckus.
Well folks you know That's not exactly the kind of her. Jesus said he'd rather you be hot or cold, and not lukewarm. No. During that those preachers are gonna realize they're gonna they're gonna realize right away There, I missed it. The rapture took place.
And God help me, I missed it. But I I know what I have to do now. I know that that now salvation will come Both by Faith and works That I I know that I'm going to be pressured.
So-called friends that are here and relatives are gonna Tell me. just take the mark like everybody else. You know I can't believe you you're so heartless that you Uh you would Risk All of those under your roof in your household. Supp the elderly parents and that. Because of you.
They might might not get medical care. Food If you if you want to eat, you've got to take the mark. If you want medical care, you've got to take the mark. You've got to do these. And so there'll be all kinds of pressure.
And of course the liberal media are gonna be out there promoting like they did the COVID shot. To take the mark And then you're gonna see out there it's gonna be Bible burnings, Bible burnings. A lot of Bible burnings, and this is why The first thing you need to do, if you're out there, you find out well. Yeah. They're gone.
There's piles of clothes all over. Family members are gone. Half the people in the church are gone. Just piles of clothes left behind. The preacher was right.
The preacher was right, Oh, I wish I had listened Boy, do I wish I had listened Then you're gonna see. Yeah. Flock cameras Flock cameras will be everywhere. You won't be able to say anything, do anything, go anything. Everywhere, everything that you do you're gonna be on camera somewhere.
In every word that you say is going to be recorded. And then Uh here you're gonna see the National Council and the World Council of Churches, the Apostate Churches, becoming preaching The Doctrine of the Antichrist. And then Here You're gonna have. Because of the preaching of the hundred forty-four thousand. You're going to have a number of people repenting.
They're going to be repenting, those that have never received the gospel, but never rejected the gospel, but they knew of it. And maybe they've heard it. Maybe they Uh, just apathy and ignorance and Well, how do you know if you're s if you're saved? What are the fruits, pastor?
Well, number one, the Great Commission. That Mission One is the Great Commission. Mission One is the Great Commission. Are you witnessing to people? That's the question.
Are you witnessing the people? You hear uh you hear Your purpose, if you go over To the book of Romans. And the Romans Chapter twelve There's no stutter. Here's what it says. I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable unto God with your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to the world, but be as transformed by the renewing of your mind. That you may Prove What is the good? an acceptable and perfect will of God.
So, if you're truly saved, you're going to have a desire. You're going to have a desire to serve God.
Now you say, well Who are those that Who are those that, uh That are going to miss the tribulation period.
Well, Again. He talks about that right there here. In Revelation chapter three, in fact, as we go there and we see Just one verse here.
Okay. Verse 10. Because thou hast kept the word of the patience I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation, meaning The church will not go, the true church will not go through the ter tribulation period. Again the hour of temptation which shall come upon all the world to try them that dwell in the earth. And so that tribulation people will be upon all the earth.
But not the saints, not the church. The church will be taken out. And then You say, well. What do we do? What do we do now?
Tell me what what can I do? Uh Oh well Here's what we've been preaching for A very long time. And It's over. In 2 Corinthians. Chapter thirteen.
Verse 5. Examine yourselves whether you know Whether you be in the faith Prove your own selves Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ Is in you? Except you be reprobate. Whoa.
Well So here, what's he talking about?
Well, Paul here reminds the Corinthians that Uh That is quite possible. For a man or a woman to profess Christ and salvation yet still be unsaved. They may even deceive themselves into thinking that such a profession has saved them.
Now folks Remember This is what we were telling you before. If you are saved, there will be evidence. Works will be the the evidence of that salvation. And again Uh oh. It tells you in James one twenty two.
Yeah. Be you. A doer of the word Not a hero only. Deceiving your own selves. Again, let me say that again.
Be you a doer of the word. Not a hero only. Deceiving your own selves You say again. If you are You're here if you've if you've Uh deceived yourself. If you say, well, you know, I I'm just not.
You're comfortable with a great commission.
Well, you know, the Great Commission is Mission One. And I'm just not comfortable with that, but surely. Surely my good works have outweighed my bad. That's not good enough. I hate to tell you, that's not good enough.
And so if there's no evidence there. of salvation You really, really, really better be concerned. See he tells you over in Peter, First Peter. The judgment must begin in the house of God. We're out of time for it tonight.
