The following program is sponsored by What's Right, What's Left Ministries, and is responsible for its content.

Portions of the following program may be pre-recorded. I am Pastor Ernie Sanders, the voice of the Christian Resistance. Stay tuned, my radio broadcast, What's Right, What's Left, is coming up right now.

Coming to you live from Independence, Ohio. We change our life for the better in many different ways. Heard around the world every Monday through Friday. Pastor Sanders is always years ahead of the rest of the media telling you exactly what they're covering up.

This is What's Right, What's Left. I tune in every chance I get to hear exactly what's going on with the voice of the Christian Resistance. Unabashedly cutting through the rhetoric by exposing the hard topics facing our society and world.

A lot of the other news media don't pick up the news items like he does. And bring into light the enemies of freedom who are out to steal your rights, your children, and enslaving you. You really get the truth out. I can tune into your show and hear the unvarnished truth.

Thank you. This is What's Right, What's Left with Pastor Ernie Sanders. Good evening and welcome to another edition of What's Right, What's Left on this second day of March 2025. And tonight, my co-host and producer, and another other than the mighty kin. Good evening, Pastor.

Good evening. Hey, do you know what? It's less than three weeks until spring. That's crazy. It's been a brutal winter, hasn't it? It really has. It's been cold, boys. It's been cold. Well, you got a little bit of warm up this past week, but I'm sure it's going to get cold once again.

Yeah, yeah. Well, it's cold out there right now. Yeah, it's only 26 degrees right now. Yeah, it was a lot colder than that this morning when I went to church.

I was like 16. Oof. Anyhow, you ready? The title of the message tonight is Will We Know Each Other When We Are In Heaven? Or Will Your Pets Be In Heaven? Those are questions that are asked by a lot of people. And, of course, the Bible doesn't specifically say, yes, you're going to know your husband, you're going to know your wife, okay?

But it does kind of explain it to you in a way that's pretty hard to miss. That, yeah, obviously we're going to know each other when we get to heaven. But we start tonight in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 8. Charity never faileth, but whether there be prophecies, they should fail. Whether there be tongues, they shall cease. Whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Now, here when it says they shall fail, whether there be prophecies, they shall fail. That word there actually, in the Greek, katergeo, means they'll become useless. They'll become useless.

Why do you think that is? Well, there would be no need for charity. Well, no, it's not charity. It's charity never faileth, but whether there be prophecies, they're going to fail. They're going to become useless. Because they'll be fulfilled?

Well, let's go on and we'll find out. Whether there be tongues, they shall cease. Again, that word there in the Greek is pao. Paolo, it means they're going to pause. They're going to stop. It means simply come to an end.

They're going to come to an end. Then it says here, whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. Actually, it says that too in chapter 8, verse 2, I think. And so here now, there's a reason for all this.

He says we know in part and we prophesize in part. So what was it that they had in part? They had something in part that we have the whole. Salvation?

No. What they had was the Old Testament. We have the completed canon of Scripture. The 66 was the inerrant word of God. And you see, remember now, in those days there were prophecies. They were foretellers, foretellers. Today we still have prophets, but they're forth tellers.

And that means you go to Hebrews chapter 1 and he tells you that the prophets of today will prophesize directly from the completed canon of Scripture from the word of God. And so then he says whether there be tongues, they shall cease. In other words, they'll be gone.

They'll come to an end. And so those are like three supernatural gifts which would eventually become useless and would therefore be withdrawn by the Spirit. He says for we know in part and we prophesize in part. So we have the Old Testament, but we didn't have the new, but now we have the complete. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part should be done away with.

Now here, that word perfect means complete, complete. And remember, it's what they had. That also applies to the law, okay? It applies to the letter of the law, and we're under what? The spirit of the law, aren't we? And so here now, so we're talking about the inerrant word of God, the inerrant word of God. When it comes to today, especially the sign gifts, remember the Jews required a sign.

They wanted to see it. They always asked Jesus for a sign, right? But today, you know, in the charismatic movement in the Pentecostal church, the only people that the Bible especially tells you not to speak in tongues are women, okay? But if you go to these Pentecostal churches, and I've preached a number of them, okay, they usually ask me for the pro-life message. If there's ten people speaking in tongues, eight of them will be women. So here now, you know, and the apostle Paul goes on to talk about these tongues. In fact, he tells you, here he says, when he refers to tongues, he says, in verse 34 of Corinthians, 1 Corinthians 14, he's speaking, the passages here are all about speaking in tongues, and he says if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church. But then he goes on to say, let your women keep silence in the churches, for it is not permitted unto them to speak, for they are commanded to be under obedience, as also sayeth the law. If they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. Well, he's actually talking about two things. One, women taking authority over men, we see that in 1 Timothy 6.

But he's also speaking about tongues, because that's what they're talking about here, in this passage is about tongues. And so, but, there are people today, so you know what, I'm going to adhere to the parts of the Bible that I agree with. And the parts that I disagree with, it must be somebody must have made a mistake, or they're being interpreted wrong, you know. That can't possibly be right, because I disagree with them.

Now, they may not say that in those exact words, but their actions speak much louder, don't they? Mm-hmm. So he goes on to say, When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

So here, these sign gifts were for people that needed a sign. You know, one of the things that really bothers me is every time out there, they come up with one of these geological digs, or they find, they discover an excavation of, well, maybe a coin that goes back to a certain era, or a plaque, or a plaster bust, or something that goes back like they found these wooden plaques, you know, the signs they put out talking about Herod. Mm-hmm. And also, and just in the past couple of years, I'm trying to remember Pilate, Pontius Pilate. Okay, Governor Pilate. And so people got all excited.

They got all excited about this. You see? You see? This proves the Bible. This proves the Bible.

What's wrong with that statement? Because we shouldn't be looking for something else to prove the Bible. Well, the Bible is the standard. It is the authority. In other words, these finds that they dig up, or these artifacts that they find, do not in any way, shape, or form give legitimacy to the word of God.

No. It's only as if it's in line with what's in the word of God that the artifact has legitimacy. Mm-hmm. And so they get things twisted around here, but God's word is the final word.

It is the ultimate authority. He says, now, for now we see through a glass darkly. That word glass there is the same word that we use for a mirror, okay? When you look in the mirror and, you know, you kind of see yourself, you know, your reflection darkly.

Nowadays, you know, that might be a good thing. But he says, but then face to face. Now listen carefully, listen carefully to this, okay? But then face to face, now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known. And so he's making a statement there that here we're going to be, when we get to heaven, we're going to understand things that we don't understand now. The fact of it is that there's a whole lot more of what we don't know in all of us than what we do know. Mm-hmm. And so he's telling you there right now some of these things are a little blurry, but we're going to be, but then face to face, now he says, now I know in part, but then shall I know even also as I am known.

Did you ever think that you knew somebody, you know, you thought you knew them pretty well, and then you find out they're a complete different person than you thought? Yeah, absolutely. I'm not one of those, are you?

No, not at all. But anyhow. I know you pretty well. Yeah, yeah. But you see, he's saying when we get there to heaven, we'll know the people we think we know now that we go with, but we'll know them. We'll know them a lot better. We'll really get to know them, and they're going to really know us. They're going to know the real us, and we're going to know the real them, okay?

And so here, what does that mean? That means we're going to know the people in heaven, right? Yeah. That's what I would think. I would think so, yeah.

Yeah. Why don't we go over to 1 John chapter 3, and 1 John chapter 3, verses 1 through 3. Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us.

Now let's look at here, who's he speaking to here? That we should be called the sons of God, therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for he shall see him as he is, and every man that hath this hope in him purify himself, as he is pure. Now, in these passages, the word hope is not the way that we use it.

That word is like blessed assurance there, that we have this assurance, okay? Now, here there are a lot of theologians, and of course now the Bible doesn't come out and say this, but there's implications. God is immutable. He does things the same way.

He never changes, right? And so here now it says that we shall be like him. We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Now, so when we get to heaven, we'll be in glorified bodies.

Okay, now he says, Now beloved, now we are all the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that we shall appear, we shall be like him. Now, here, as far as the appearance goes, let me ask you this. I can tell you this. I don't want to spend all eternity looking the way I do now.

I'd like to look a lot younger, right? Yeah. So. Yeah, it'd be nice to envision ourselves in our prime as opposed to the end.

Yeah. Well, it says that we will be like him. You know, we will appear like him. Jesus left this world, went to heaven at the age of 33. So now, a lot of theologians believe based on these verses here that we will all appear at the age of 33. We'll all appear at the age of 33, those of us that are adults. In other words, man, would you run around for all of eternity looking like you're 90-something years old? No, no.

And so. We'll be in glorified bodies though. Yeah, we'll be in glorified bodies.

What does that mean? We might not appear like us at all. You know, it might be more of a mental thing as far as distinguishing each other. No, he kind of tells you that in 1 Corinthians 15 that we're going to be, you know. We still appear as ourselves?

Yeah. We'll be able to recognize each other. This is how we'll be able to recognize each other, but. I was thinking maybe that would be kind of like just a knowing thing. You know, because we'll know each other. So we'll know inside and out who that person really is.

You know, secrets in heaven. Yeah, we will know that. We will know even as we're known, okay. But physically the appearance is what he's referring to here. We won't be fat anymore. We won't be too skinny anymore. Like I told all the men in church today, you all have hair again, okay. And so we're going to be glorified, the bodies that we live in, but they're going to look a whole lot better than they do now, okay.

And so here this is what he's talking about. The main thing is where we shall see him as he is, we're going to see the Lord as he is, okay. And we're going to appear like him in these glorified bodies. But we're also going to, as he keeps saying here, therefore we should be called the sons of God, we're the sons of God, therefore the world knows us not because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be like. So he's talking to them there, and the people he's talking to, the church of Corinth, now this isn't the church of Corinth, this is John who's speaking here. He's telling them, the assembly there, that we were going to know each other.

He's referring to that, okay. And so here, now here's another thing. What about, people ask me, are there going to be babies in heaven with children? Well, God says that, well, in fact, yeah, God loves the little children, and we're going to take a look at some of that where we see, especially during the millennial kingdom, but let me ask you this.

The Bible says with God, we're going to be with God, right? With God, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. So now, what about all of these babies that were aborted? All these babies, are they going to, they'll grow to adulthood, but will they do it because now, remember, there will be no more time. Time will have ceased. So will it take them each day like a thousand years to finally become at the age of 33?

I wouldn't think. I don't know, you see, but we'll be there, okay? For all the folks out there that lost a child, I lost a son, Timothy, okay? And I know that I'll see him again. You know, it's just absolutely, in fact, I've actually had dreams about that.

And, of course, as we go through here, we'll see that King David also had, he lost a son, and we'll see what he has to say about when we get there, okay? So here, it's not going to be like you see in the movies. Do you ever notice when you see in the movies, when it shows you the people in heaven? I've noticed that all of the women are blondes. They don't have any, yeah. I haven't found any brunettes there in heaven. They're all blond. I kind of think that's just more Hollywood, right? Yeah, that's a little odd. Yeah, yeah.

But here's some. Let's go over to Luke, chapter 16. Luke, chapter 16, starting with verse 19. There was a certain rich man which was clothed with purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. Every time I hear that word, sumptuous, I think of the Reverend Ike. Do you remember the Reverend Ike?

No. Oh, man, he really, he was one of the prosperity preachers, and I was always amazed by him because one of the things he used to say is, is not everybody can live sumptuously. He said, you can't and you can't, but I will live sumptuously, not for me, for you and for you.

If I have an airplane, it'll be for me. He's the guy that used to say, when they took an offering, pull out your wallet, take out your wallet, take the money out, throw it in the air. Everything that stays up there belongs to God.

Whatever comes down is mine, okay? And so, but I used to laugh because there would be people in his congregation saying, do it for me, Rev, do it for me, Rev. I'm thinking, man, you're doing it for me, Rev. I mean, but you know what? He's no worse than some of these prosperity preachers out there today.

I mean, some of them are just as bad. I mean, but anyhow, he goes on and he says, there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid in a gate full of sores and desired to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked the sores. But it came to pass that when the beggar died and was carried up by the angels into Abraham's bosom, the rich man also died and was buried. And in hell, he lifted up his eyes being in torment and saith Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. Now, this is interesting because this is a parable, but this is different than the other parables.

How is this one different than the other parables? Do you know? No. Oh, it's a good thing you asked.

Here. How is this different? Well, it's because Jesus here gives the names. He names Lazarus. He names Abraham. And in the other parables, they don't. They're just referred to as a rich man or the lord of the vineyard.

But here, they actually name that. And so that means that when he gives you the name, now there is another Lazarus also that the Lord Jesus raised from the dead. And here, so now, but Abraham said no. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in torment in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveth thy good things, and likewise, Lazarus, evil things, but now he is comforted in thou art tormented. Now, what do you think it was that Abraham and the rich man had in common?

I'm not sure. They were both rich. They were both very wealthy. Now, the difference was, is the way that they treated the poor. Abraham had mercy and he provided for the poor. The rich man had no mercy on the poor, did he? No.

He's a Democrat, I'll bet. Well, then he probably talked about it. Yeah. And did nothing.

Yeah. Besides all this, between us and you, there was a great gall fixed, so that they which would pass from thence to you, neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, Father, that thou would ascend him to my father's house, for I have five brethren, that they may testify unto him, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Now, so what do we see so far? We see that it's the afterlife, and even though the rich man had never met Abraham, he recognized Abraham. So, in that afterlife, we're going to have, we're going to be given the information.

We're going to know these things, like we just read over there in 1 Corinthians. Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

And he said unto him, If they hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they, if they said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded through one beat from the dead. So that was referring directly to the Lord Jesus, huh? Yeah. And so, here now, so we garner this, that the rich man recognized Abraham and he recognized Lazarus, didn't he? Yeah.

And so, I mean, you might have said, well, since he recognized Lazarus, he might have just came to the conclusion that that had to be father Abraham, right? So. Oh, maybe.

Yeah. But we don't know. So, if we go over to John, chapter 14, and we read verses 1 through, 1 through 4. Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.

In my father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you, but I go to prepare a place for you. So, who's he talking to here?

Us. No, he's talking to the disciples right here. Oh, okay. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also. So, if they're all to be there with Jesus, then they're going to be there with each other too, then aren't they? Yes. And he says, and whether I go, you know, and the way you know. Now, here we see that here, these mansions, this is an interesting thing too, because when he says many, many mansions, you know, if you go to the biblical description of the size of the New Jerusalem, and do you know that you can fit many, many, many, many times the entire land mass of the earth in the New Jerusalem? Did you know that?

Oh, wow. Yeah, it's 1,500 miles. Now, there's only two shapes where the height and the width are the same, okay? And that's a pyramid or a cube.

Some people believe that the new is going to be in the shape of a pyramid, others the cube. But 1,500, just say that stories were a mile high, were a whole mile high. You would have many, many times, because it's 15 miles square, the land mass of the earth.

And I can't imagine stories being a mile high. No. Okay?

That's pretty high. But here, and so we'll have, we're going to be living together, aren't we, for all of eternity? Yeah.

And so here it's pretty obvious that since he's taking them together, they're going to be together. Then if we go over to 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, this is a passage of Scripture that's very familiar to all of us here. But I would not have you to be ignorant. Verse 13. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep.

That means dead. That you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even to them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring him. And what is he saying there? He's telling, he's talking to the believers there in Thessalonica.

And remember what was taking place at that time, too, there were people that were saying that the rapture had already taken place and so on and so forth. But now he's telling them, listen, he says the Lord Jesus is going to bring them with him, but we go on. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. That means go before. That means to go before them. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Therefore comfort one another with these words. So let me answer this, because which way is it? He says here, one says he's coming back for us, and the other says that he's bringing us back with him. So how could that be? Well, he's coming back for us to bring back with him. Wouldn't that be?

What now? He says that he is going to bring those with him here. Even so, them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him? Well, here's the answer. We are triune beings. We have body, soul, and spirit. And so when we die, our soul and spirit go to be with the Lord. But the body goes back to the ground. So when the Lord returns, this is not the second coming, because he doesn't come back to earth at this time. He comes back to the first heaven. And we will be with him, all of those that have died, their souls and spirits will be with the Lord. Their bodies will be resurrected and be made into glorified bodies, and their body, soul, and spirit will be reunited in the air.

And as he returns to heaven with all of the saints, we'll all be in our glorified bodies, won't we? Yeah. I'll go for that.

Yeah, sounds great. Just think about that. No more pain. No more cancer.

We have so many people out with the flu. Yeah, no more sickness. No more sickness. No more sickness. No more pain. No more glasses or hearing aids or... Boy, you're not kidding. Medications. Absolutely.

And your teeth won't be resting on the bed stand at night. Right. So, I better not say that. We had a... We had this little girl. She was a little Jewish princess. And she used to be a neighbor. And she would come over to the house and she would just walk in the front door.

She's only five years old, but she would just come over to our house and walk in the front door. And she would get lonely and bored in the summertime. And so, one day she asked me, she said, Pastor, do you and Mrs. Sanders, do you argue all the time? And I said, no.

Why would you ask me that? And she said, my mom and dad, they argue all the time. Why don't you argue all the time? I shouldn't have done it. I said, well, we didn't have false teeth. I said, Mrs. Sanders and I, we just take our teeth out at night if we have an argument and let them finish while we're sleeping. And I shouldn't have done that. But she ran home and told her parents.

But she was such a little sweetheart. I guess the Lord will forgive me for that one. Yeah. I repented. I repented of it. Okay. But, you know, the devil made me do it, I guess. Let's go over here.

Where am I? Okay, I'm over in 2 Corinthians chapter 4 now. So here, 2 Corinthians chapter 4. Now, verses 14 and 15. Knowing that he which raises up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus and shall present us with you.

Okay, let me read that again. Knowing that he which raises up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus and shall present us with you. Now, he's talking to the church in Corinth. For all things are not for your sakes that the for all things are for your sakes that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many rebound to the glory of God. And so here now, how is this?

Right? Because knowing this, that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise us up also. Well, Scripture says Jesus raised himself from the dead.

So how does this say? He that raised up Jesus, how do you say, well, wait a minute, did Jesus do it or did the Father do it, right? The Holy Ghost.

Well, remember, in the Trinity, you have a marching order there. You have God the Father giving the orders, God the Son carried them out, and the Holy Ghost always providing the power. So here, you know, always, even with the creation, the Lord Jesus was Christ the Creator. He created all that was created. The Father gave him the order to create. Christ did the creating, and the Holy Ghost provided the power.

And all of these things, too. The same thing came when giving us an option to avoid that burning lake of fire. Christ was the one. The Father gave the orders, and he was obedient unto death, unto the Father.

And the Holy Ghost provided the power. He rose again. And so, but anyhow, again, it's going back here.

What is he talking? For all these are for your sakes. For all these are for your sakes, okay?

The abundance graced might through the thanksgiving of many, rebound to the glory of God. So he's talking to the people there, and he gives you, he presents us together with others, okay? So he gives you the picture there that here we're going to be brought out together. If we go up together, that means we're kind of going to know each other, aren't we? Yeah. Do you ever, you know, when you're in a service, sometimes the first thing that you'd be handing orders and say you're shipping out, and you'd end up going someplace, and you end up, and you don't know anybody that's there.

You're looking all around, you don't know anybody that's there. Remember when you were a kid in school? Yeah. Okay. And remember when you were about 14 and going into third grade for the first time?

No, I'm kidding. Come on, I was in fourth grade at least. When you went to a new school, you go to a new school, and you end up, and you don't know anybody in that class. But see, that's not the way it's going to be, because we're going to know everybody. We're going to know each other, okay?

And so we'll even have the tendency to know people that we don't know now. And so here, if we go over to Matthew chapter 17, in Matthew chapter 17, starting with verse 1 through 8. And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter and James and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them.

And his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. Then answered Peter and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here, for thou wilt let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. Now, Peter, James, and John had never met Elijah or Moses, but yet they recognized him.

Yeah, they knew. Well, he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud which said, Now, here, this is God the Father. This is the third time this happened in the scriptures, the third time, where God the Father appeared and said, This is my beloved Son. In other words, he was making a point. He didn't appreciate them placing Moses and Elijah on the same level with the Lord Jesus, okay? And so he said, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.

Hear you Him, okay? And so when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and they were so afraid. You think they figured out they messed up?

Yeah, pretty quickly. And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise and be not afraid. And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no man save Jesus only. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell this vision to no man, until the Son of Man be risen again from the dead. Here, again, even though they never met Moses, they never met Elijah, but somehow they knew who they were.

And that's kind of what Paul was saying over in 1 Corinthians 13, is we're going to know, we're going to know as we're known, okay? And let's go now over to, and this is one that's a real convincing one, and that's in 2 Samuel chapter 12. And in 2 Samuel chapter 12, we read, starting with verse 15. And Nathan departed unto the house, and the Lord struck the child, that year I his wife bare unto David, and he was very sick. David therefore besought God for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all night upon the earth. And the elders of the house arose and went to him to raise him up from the earth, that he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. And it came to pass that on the seventh day that the child died, and the service of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, he spoke unto them, and he would not hearken unto our voice, how will he be then vexed himself if we tell him that the child is dead? But when David saw that the servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead, therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead?

And they said, He is dead. Then David rose from the earth, and awash, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped them. Then he came to his own house, and when he required that they set bread before him, and he did eat. Then said the servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? Thou didst fast and weep for the child while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

They're a little confused here, aren't they? You know, you should be mourning now. You should be mourning now. You were mourning before, but what's going on? And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me that the child may live? But now as he is dead, and wherefore should I fast?

Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. So David is saying, Look, I'm going to go to be with my son. Now, here, why did... So David knew that he would recognize he would be with his son. Why did God take his son?

I'm not sure. Well, first of all, he had your eye murdered. David had your eye murdered.

Okay, he killed him because he refused to come home. See, David had gotten Bathsheba, your eye's wife, pregnant. Okay, and so here now, David, you know, sat and told his commander, Make sure your eye comes home. He goes in to be with his wife because David wanted to try to keep a secret and make him think that your eye got his wife pregnant. But when your eye come back, your eye, he refused to lay with his wife.

He said, I'm not going to go in there and sleep with my wife while my fellow mighty men are out there in battle fighting. David normally would go with him, but this time he stayed back. So it was David's crime of murdering, but what about Bathsheba? Do you think that when she went out on her rooftop and took a bath out there, if she could look up and see David, do you think she didn't know that David could look down and see her? Yeah, she knew. Yeah, she knew. And so they were both punished.

Yeah. But David was very clear in the fact that he knew that he would see his son, okay, and of course he got that knowledge from God. And so David had a very close relationship with the Lord. And so now let me ask you about this. Where will there be our pets? Will there be animals in heaven? I'm not sure.

I mean, you would think. Maybe. Well, okay, have you ever read anywhere in the Bible where, you know, we read all about the creation, but did you ever read anywhere God uncreated?

No. No, it's because he never did, okay. But if we go over to Revelation chapter 19 and we start with verse 11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he that set upon him was called Faithful and True. And in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns.

And he had a name written that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Now, here the armies in heaven were made up of four categories of saints. Four categories of saints. And they were, with the very first category, the first time the saints were mentioned were angels in the Old Testament. And they had the Old Testament saints, the New Testament saints, and then the tribulation saints.

So they're all mounted on white horses, and they're leaving heaven and they're heading back to earth, and you see in Zechariah chapter 14 where they arrived back on earth in verse 5 there. Now, let me ask you this. How many do you think were riding in that posse? I mean, it would have to be thousands, wouldn't it? How about millions? Yeah.

Millions, okay. So we know that there was a whole lot of white horses in heaven, huh? Yeah.

But let me ask you this. Do you think that they were riding those white horses millions and millions and billions of miles across space back here to earth? I would think it would almost be instantaneous, like kind of like transported, you know?

Right. So there would be dimensions. There would be, because we see all through the Bible where doors opened, okay, and we see several places where we see God up on the mountain where doors open and he stepped out in the cloud with Moses. We see Jesus where doors open and Jesus appears in the upper room. We see in Jacob, we're just above Jacob, a door is opened and a ladder comes down and angels go to and fro. We see in James chapter, or Revelation chapter 4, right above John, right above John a door is opened.

John is caught up into it. So it's dimension. The door is opened and they're transported from one place to the other instantaneously, huh? Yeah. And so we all go out to battle and we'll have glorified bodies. What about our horses? Because see, when that happens, when that comes back and that takes place and that will take place, we're going to be riding horses. They're going to have tanks. We're going to be fighting the armies of the world.

They're going to have rocket launchers and tanks. Yeah, I would think the horses would have to have glorified bodies as well. Yeah, I would think so too. Okay. And so, but we know how that battle is going to end because when you go to war, the goal is to kill more of the enemy than they kill of you, right? Absolutely, yeah.

And if you're in glorified bodies, you can't die. Yeah. So that gives us one big advantage, doesn't it?

Huge advantage, yes. Yeah. I'm glad to be on that team.

Yeah, no kidding. So we established there's going to be a whole lot of horses in heaven. Let's go over to 148th Psalm. I don't think we're going to be able to finish this tonight. We've got a little over six minutes left. So if we go over to 148th Psalm, and I passed it up.

Okay. Praise ye the Lord, praise ye the Lord from the heaven, praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all the angels, praise ye him, all the hosts. Praise ye him, sun and moon, praise ye him, stars of light. Praise ye him, you heavens and heavens and you waters, and that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded that they were created. Now, this next verse is a key verse here. He had also established them forever and ever, forever and ever.

Okay. He hath made a decree that shall not pass. Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons in ye deeps, fire and hail and snow and vapors stormy and fulfilling his word.

Mountains and all the hills, fruitful trees and the cedars, beasts and all the cattle, all the creeping things and flying fowl, kings of the earth and all the people, the princes and all the judges of the earth, both young men and the maidens of old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, and his name alone is excellent and his glory is above the earth and heaven. And he also exalted the horn of his people, praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him, praise you the Lord. So now, he's making a point there, and we know that God is the same today, tomorrow, forever, and we don't see any place where he has decided to uncreate where he created. And so now, if we go over to Job 12, and in Job chapter 12, verses 7-10, But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee, or speak to the earth, and they shall teach thee, and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee, who knoweth not all these things, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this, in whose hand is the soul of every living thing that breatheth of all men, of all mankind. So he's making a pretty clear statement there, and he's talking about, both in the millennial kingdom, and both in heaven, God has not uncreated anything. And so, here we're gonna, now, here's something too that I believe, and since I can find no evidence of God ever uncreating any of his creation, and since there's absolute proof of some animals in heaven, like what we just read about all those horses, it's reasonable to assume that all of God's creatures will be present, but like the saints, their behavior will be different.

Of course, we left out one passage where it was referring to the animals where the wolf would lay down with the lamb. Now, here's what I believe. This is my belief, okay, and this is just based on my opinion. I also believe that like Jesus that spoke the universe into existence, we will be able, by memory, to speak our own, our past pets into existence. You say, whoa, boy, that's getting out there, stepping out.

Let me ask you this. It says we will be like Jesus, and what did Jesus do? He did those things, okay? He was a creator, and I believe that we will be able to speak them back, you know, because I don't believe that our expectations can ever even come close to exceeding heaven's abilities, do you?

Yeah, no, not at all. We can't even fathom what would be possible. Right, and God has, well, again, like he said, all things are possible with God.

All things, okay, and so that's my personal opinion. I believe that we will be seeing, first of all, we're going to know our loved ones that have gone before us. We're going to know them, and I believe we'll be able to have our pets back with us, too, and so anyhow, but in order to do that, you've got to get to heaven, and the only way you can get to heaven, you must be born again. So if you're listening to me out there, and you cannot say, Pastor, I know if I died today, I'd go home to be with the Lord, you're in more trouble than you can imagine, because you could die in the next five minutes, and boy, I'm going to tell you to die in your sin apart from Christ.

It don't get any worse than that. It really don't, and so tonight, what you need to do is what we tell you all the time. Pray to the Father, ask for forgiveness of your sins, call the name Jesus, ask Him to be the Lord of your life all of your life, and you will become a new creature, you will become a born-again believer, you will become an heir of the kingdom, just like God promises you. In fact, I would go to the Gospel of John, chapter 3, and read it again tonight. We're out of time, like we do every night at this time.

It was good being here with you. And so, here's what we say, my great co-host here, and myself, we would say, good night, God bless, and always, always, always, remember we did it before Trump, keep fighting the fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
