No One Knows the Day, Part 2: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:00 Now now we’re going to take a clear look at the new testament scriptures describing the second coming of Jesus and the end of the world in the chapters of Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. So here we are Jesus is in Jerusalem and he departs from the temple. They’re leaving the temple and the disciples stop him and say hey look at all these buildings of the temple look at this beautiful temple they bring it to his attention. Jesus turns to his disciples and initiates. This subject he brought it up there will not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down. He initiated the subject that the temple is going to be destroyed he’d already talked about this before.

▶ 0:56 He brings it up again so what is the subject the temple being destroyed that is the subject and if you know your english that’s what things following are going to be about correct. If you know your grammar he’s going to follow up on this all right then the disciples asked him three questions. Matthew 24:3 tell us Jesus what shall these things when shall these things be. If I was there I would have asked how what when why I would have met you know me I I got a lot of questions. But this is ordained. They ask when shall these things be what things.

▶ 1:48 What’s the subject the temple being destroyed yes that’s the subject all right. Then they asked another question because he had been talking about his second return. And the end of the world before then they pop in this question what shall be the sign the miracle the word sign is supernatural a miracle it’s not like a a. Flood light on in the ocean so you can see uh. For ships to go through it’s a miracle it’s supernatural. What will be the miracle of your coming. What shall be the miracle of the end of the world the supernatural the sign got it supernatural. So he gives three answers.

▶ 2:41 And he starts his first answer is he’s telling them what are not signs. He answers their questions by first telling them what are not signs of the temple being destroyed the second coming or the end of the world take heed. Verses 4 through 13 that no man deceive you no man causes you to roam from the truth no man no person. What are they going to do to try to get you to roam from the truth many will come in my name saying I am the Christ the savior the anointed one I’m the one to follow I’m the one to listen to do we have a lot of those in America today. Yeah they’re telling the people I have the answer.

▶ 3:37 A good preacher will say the Bible has the answer and Jesus is the answer they’re just messengers of the Bible and Jesus Christ that’s it. And like the apostles of somebody wants to worship them and make them something they’re not they’ll turn around and rebuke them and say no we are men you got to worship God you got to follow God can I hear an amen. Wars. And rumors of wars you’re going to hear wars and rumors of wars. And these things are going to deceive many but the end is not yet don’t be troubled don’t let it perplex your mind affect your emotions your spiritual walk life the end is not yet the end is not yet this is not a sign of the end.

▶ 4:37 There will be famines pestilences plagues quakes you shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. Many false prophets will deceive many. Iniquity lawlessness will abound. Is lawlessness abounding in America right now yeah they’re taking over [unclear] you know the love of many shall wax cold. He that endures to the end shall be saved the end the second coming the end of the world the judgment what are we to endure to the end. False Christ wars and rumors of war people saying wars are a sign of the second coming pestilences famines earthquakes the persecution of Christians good people is going to happen for his name’s sake many false prophets and iniquity abounding and the love of many of God’s people waxing cold you endure that to the end.

▶ 5:44 So from Christ ascension and resurrection and ascension to when he returns these things are begun are going to be going on they are not a sign. Of the end. He answers with a second answer and he talks about the subject that he brought up the destruction of the temple Mark 24:15 when you see the abomination of desolation spoken by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place let them in judea flee to the mountains. For then shall there be a great tribulation. Okay now. Most of you know that the four gospels clarify each other for instance you really know the last 10 to 12 days of Christ by pulling all the gospels together you can tell where he was at what time of the day he was there and what happened and.

▶ 6:43 Many other truths when you get the other how the other apostles say him you get the full truth you get clarity on it and this is what happens in Luke 21:20. Mark said abomination of desolation but Luke who said at the beginning he gives an accurate account of what went on he said my account is accurate. Luke. Says when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with armies then know that the desolation. Thereof is nigh let them which are in judea flee to the mountains let them in judea flee to the mountains after the statement after the statement desolation.

▶ 7:36 Desolation so he is clarifying what the abomination is. And what is the abomination. Jerusalem surrounded by army. Besieged by armies it’s going to be destroyed when you see the armies besieging Jerusalem the temple’s coming down Jerusalem’s coming down. Do you see that. See if you don’t get your mind into some kind of spiritual haze. And. You know and thinking like some book tells you to think this stuff is pretty clear. Are you glad you came to church today laughs. All right so the abomination of desolation is what.

▶ 8:34 Jerusalem surrounded by armies for the destruction of it and the temple Luke makes it very plain and this happened in 70 a.d let’s continue. These be the days of vengeance. That all things written by the prophets may be fulfilled there will be great distress he doesn’t just use great tribulation he explains the tribulation he says there’ll be great distress anger upon this people what people the people in Jerusalem in the temple and in judea. Those in the city of Jerusalem if you’re in it he said you better depart and if you’re out in the country don’t go into the city why because the city is going to be destroyed the temple is going to be destroyed. They will fall by the edge of the sword they’ll be led captive to all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden down to the Gentiles into the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

▶ 9:35 Which has happened for 1900 years including the holocaust where six million were slaughtered. Now if you go back and read historians like josephus and other ones you will find that Jerusalem was under heavy tribulation they were starving because they didn’t have food from the siege and of course when famine comes sickness comes and plagues come and they had division in their own camp there were two groups fighting against one another and then finally they decided they better unite to just fight rome. And many of the people after a while gave up but they they would melt there are things that were gold and silver and they would swallow it would swallow the gold and silver and they’d go out to the Romans.

▶ 10:33 Well the Romans caught wind of it and the Romans just cut their throat cut their belly open took the gold out. You see this is great tribulation. This is in history. And uh. Then the Romans just got mad at these people they got a hatred for these people and when they conquered the city they slaughtered literally slaughtered over a million people. Kids women they didn’t care just like Jesus talked about. Slaughtered them. All right. The great desolation. The great destruction. Here is an account where Jesus had talked to about this before he went up to Jerusalem he wept over the city saying the days shall come that your enemies shall cast a trench around about you even to the ground and your children within you and they shall not leave one stone upon another because you know not the time of your visitation these things are hid from your eyes you can’t see them because I’ve come preaching the gospel of repentance.

▶ 11:45 I’ve come as the messiah as the Christ and you did not accept your visitation your time of refreshing your time of restoration so you can’t see. And the historian said when the Romans got done with Jerusalem you could not tell it had ever been a city caesar told him to take down every stone and except for the fortresses where the Romans could use it for their garrison that you couldn’t tell that Jerusalem had ever been a city just like Jesus said God at church. Now this is going to stir up a lot of people in America when this gets out because they are so confident and they’re church leaders telling them.

▶ 12:44 These things that nobody knows that they can’t face the truth. That they can be wrong. And the scriptures has got to be what we stand on. And you know why I know that because I was [unclear] Christian and they started teaching things that I had been brought up different. I didn’t go and talk to them about it I went home and studied the scriptures I was going to show them they were wrong. And almost every time they were right but at least I had this sense to keep my mouth shut until I had my proof and then I found I didn’t have any proof. I had been told fibs. Okay. Mark 13:30 and Luke 21:32 I say unto you that this generation.

▶ 13:40 A generation you’re a generation okay. One generation dies off another generation comes in. Shall not pass to all these things be fulfilled all what things in this generation. Jerusalem and the temple destroyed the great tribulation that they suffered Israel dispersed to all nations a lot of those in judea they. Migrated to other nations to get away from the Romans destruction so they dispersed and then 95 000 were taken captive by the Romans and taken to rome 15 times more than those that were carried away to Babylon captivity. All right.

▶ 14:34 And they’re going to be led into captivity for two thousand years. The abomination of desolation is the destruction of the temple and Jerusalem and the suffering it’s the subject he initiated at the beginning of the chapter and the disciples then asked the other questions about the end time and the return but he’s basically talking about the destruction of Jerusalem. Matthew 24:14. The sign of his coming. Sign of the end the gospel to the kingdom shall be preached for a witness unto all nations preach for a witness that is a big statement. The other gospel says preach to all nations or publish to all nations but this one gives us clarity it’s going to be as a witness we will hit in our next subject.

▶ 15:29 Then shall the end come. As the lightning comes out of the east and shines into the west so also the coming of the son of man be everybody what. Can see it and hear it nothing secret about that so that’s two signs Matthew 24:24. And up through other scriptures Mark starting at 13:24 the third sign will be false Christ and prophet showing signs and wonders now throughout history I have not seen any account where false prophets could do signs and wonders.

▶ 16:11 And if any of you got information on that let me know but there is coming a time somewhere up up ahead where God is going to grant to these false prophets to do some supernatural things remember he did that in Egypt the wizards and the sorcerers and the wise men of Egypt was not turning rods into snakes they weren’t turning water into blood and frogs coming up as a plague they weren’t doing any of those things until Moses came down and Moses put down his rod and his rod turned to a snake they put down the rods and their rods turned to a snake and swallowed Moses’s snake swallowed their snake and Moses reached down by the tail and picked that snake up. See they turn water to blood but they didn’t need water turned to blood what did they need to do.

▶ 17:11 Turn the blood back to water but see they couldn’t do that they could only do what God gave them authority to do and somewhere in the future God is going to give these people some supernatural power but look at this statement look at this statement church but impossible it will be impossible to deceive the elect he says it if it were possible to he they would deceive the elect what he means is it’s impossible to deceive the followers of Christ with false prophets and miracles they know him they know his book and they stand firm and guess where they’re still at on earth. No secret rapture. Now that ought to encourage him out we’re going to hang in there.

▶ 18:08 Amen. Yes there’s gonna be a visitation of God we’re we’re confident people and we’re going to handle this thing number four after the tribulation of those days now those days are the last days and we know there’s tribulation in the last days after the tribulation of the last days plural not just the season of tribulation. But seasons of tribulation that we saw people hate us and persecute us but after the tribulations of those days the sun and moon shall be darkened stars fall from heaven not meteorites not asteroids stars, a star is a sun, and the suns are going to fall from heaven. Now how do we know that it’s going to get a people’s attention. Yeah this is a this is a supernatural thing.

▶ 19:05 All right not a natural thing it’s not asteroids it’s not meteorites. The powers of heaven will be shaken. Then shall appear the sign and what’s the word for sign. Miracle supernatural the supernatural miracle event of Jesus in the heavens one of the reasons it is supernatural that he comes and everywhere on earth he has seen. Everybody sees him how many know that’s supernatural because if something happens on the other side of the earth we don’t see it but when Christ comes everybody sees it the sign the miracle of his coming. And then means at that time see then at that time then all nations mourn all people mourn.

▶ 20:02 And they see Jesus coming in the clouds and this is what the angel said to the apostles why do you stand here gazing unto the clouds. This same Jesus will return as he went in the cloud so when he comes he’s going to be up there where the clouds are hallelujah in by other words it’s backed up scripture. Even with power and great glory and he will send his angels with a great sound of the trumpet and gather his elect from one end of heaven to the other see the great sound of the trumpet makes the allegory of the lightning it backs it up see you not only see lightning you hear it. So there’s nothing secret and the elect are still here on earth and we are so strong at this time that the false prophets and the miracles and all these things cannot move us from Jesus Christ now you know that’s a glorious church without spot or wrinkle that is a church that overcome the gates of hell yeah hallelujah.

▶ 21:09 Now. The scriptures always put everything in alignment and when it’s out of alignment. It’s not scripture. Different times. Of him coming and resurrection is not in alignment with the scriptures and not repenting is not in line with the scriptures Matthew 13:30 let both grow together talking about the wheat and tares the wicked and the good until the harvest in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers gather first the tares the children of the wicked one and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat the children of the kingdom into my barn so both are dealt with at the what same time. Both are dealt with what at the same time those is the scriptures.

▶ 22:02 Other scriptures stay in alignment with that that’s the key to understanding the end time. All right. John 5:28 the hour is coming when all in the graves how many all in the graves not just the saints not just the unbeliever. Shall hear the voice his voice and come forth they that have done good unto the resurrection of life and they that have done evil into the resurrection of damnation he deals with them both at the same time. Revelations 1:7 behold he is coming with clouds there’s that cloud again that aligns with the scripture and every eye will see him how many eyes every eye on earth will see him even those who pierced him how do those who pierced him see him they’ve been resurrected right.

▶ 23:01 They’ve been resurrected. And all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him why he’s coming to judge them. Matthew 25:31 when the son of man shall come in his glory with all his holy angels he shall sit on the throne of his glory and before him all nations. Are gathered all people are gathered see it’s in alignment with the scriptures he shall separate them as a shepherd divides the sheep the sheep inherit the kingdom of God in the parable from the goats the goats inherit eternal fire prepared for Satan and his angels see it’s an alignment it sticks with the subject bring in Daniel’s 70th week over and coming through all this nonsense it’s not an alignment church.

▶ 24:02 And the scriptures are always in alignment from Genesis we know that Jesus was going to die and. Cleanse us from sin and reconcile us and put Satan under his feet we know it in Genesis 1 and then all the way through the Bible it maintains that. Focus doesn’t it so we know it’s true. And this is how you know this is true these are things you can know are true. Luke 17:28 as it was in the days of lot they ate they drank they bought they sowed and they planted does that sound like normal life. Does that sound like normal life yes. In the days of Noah they married and given in marriage and so forth this normal life. That’s why no one knows it’s day and hour life’s going on normal.

▶ 25:01 They built but the same day lot left sodom the what same day the same time fire and brimstone destroyed all the sinners in sodom and lot and his family were saved thus shall it be in the day when the son of man is revealed both are dealt with at the what same time. What is the real reason behind the conflict. Between Jesus’s opponents. Between opponents rather of Jesus and his Bible Revelation 9:4. Harm the locusts were brought out of the bottomless pit and told to harm only those with the seal of God in the forehead you know all I hear about 666 and this seven years of tribulation and and you know we’re going to have a mark put on us and we’re not going to be able to buy it and sell on all the time and no one ever talks about the fact that God’s people have a seal on their forehead.

▶ 26:03 Don’t bother me with your 666. And how do you know the Bible says he’s given us his spirit as a seal that his words are true as a guarantee that he’ll finish the good work begun in you’ve given us his spirit now we’re not talking about the baptism of the Holy Ghost we’re talking about anyone that receives God accepts Christ his spirit comes in and we become the temple of God the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a baptism of power with gifts and so forth uh but people that don’t have the baptism Holy Ghost they still got the spirit of Christ they still got the spirit of God can I hear an amen. See we have that that’s our seal don’t mess with the people. Of Jesus Christ so only the people is going to be harmed or what the others you saw the movie the others well this is the others they didn’t believe they don’t have the seal all right.

▶ 27:06 In those days men will seek death and not find it they can’t get out of this deal God’s got them cornered. Four angels kill a third part of mankind by plagues. Men not killed by these plagues men that have been harmed and and and tormented and tortured and in misery. Because they don’t have the seal of God on the forehead God comes to awaken them God comes to shake them up. They would not repent. And so what’s behind this conflict is these people don’t want to repent they don’t want to turn from their sin they don’t want to do what’s right that’s the real source of their differences. You see they don’t want to repent from the works of their hands and the Bible says you’re going to be judged by your works your fruit your actions what you do they will not that they were not worship devils or idols neither repented of their murderers their sorcerers sexual immorality nor thefts.

▶ 28:16 And see the whole issue is they don’t like Christ and they don’t like the Bible because the Bible says you’ve got to confess your sins and you’ve got to repent that’s the whole root of the conflict. And they will say and I hear it on tv all the time and on the internet well that’s your belief that’s your thing you think no this is God thinking this is God stating it’s not my beliefs it’s his truth. Amen. We’re going to be accountable. And you don’t hear sin talked on much in America right now. And repentance you know it’s here people really getting down weeping before God and repentance now you got to understand that murderers and 1 John 3:15 he that hateth his brother is a murderer and you know that eternal life does not live John said in a murderer so when you look down and you people walk through the door and you have emotional problems with you know you have a conflict with them you hate them you you don’t like them.

▶ 29:28 You need to repent of that. You may not be a murderer but if you’re hating and the homosexuals hate Jesus they hate the Bible and they hate Christians that keep telling them that they are wrong because God says they’re wrong they hate us and they turn it around and say we are preachers of hate see they reverse it. But it’s them that hate us the liberals hate us the humanists hate us. It despises us and it’s all about repentance. And if we make one little mistake they put it on the headline. I mean you know David made a mistake he corrected and mistaken didn’t do it again I mean we can correct our mistakes you don’t change the scriptures because you make a mistake and you sin you why you’re getting liberated from your sin you stick with the scriptures they just change the scriptures and say it’s okay.

▶ 30:34 To commit sexual immorality it’s okay to get drunk it’s okay to lie and steal. Sorcerers. And idols and you’re stealing the Bible says if you don’t work you don’t eat. You guys got that. Let every man work with his own hands provide for his own self so you got to get a job skill you gotta work. And if you’re not you’re robbing from other people they got to support you. Now a lot of Christians don’t like me saying that I mean they they really. I lose people with preaching like this. And that’s when they want to say that’s your opinion well that was the apostles opinion.

▶ 31:29 That’s God’s opinion. All right let’s look at sorcerers and idolatry 1 Samuel 15:23 rebellion is that’s the sin of witchcraft rebellion is a mutiny. A conflict against morals and truth in this aspect. Stubbornness unreasonable determination you have an unreasonable you aren’t thinking out. Your resistance against morality if you did you would see that alcohol is destroying thousands of people every year cigarettes are killing over four hundred thousand in America every year and over a million throughout the world [unclear] it’s unreasonable determination to reject immorality.

▶ 32:28 Americans fifty percent of Americans have a sexually transmitted disease and there are over 30. Sexually transmitted diseases in America down after the sexual revolution and they won’t reasonably look at the statistics. It’s either stubborn. An unreasonably stubborn. That. Idolatry. Well I don’t worship idols well you’re stubborn your rebellious. Jesus came with the baptism of repentance for the remission of confessed sins isn’t that what the Bible says is that was that his message was his forerunner John the baptist did he have the same message yes so what is the priority message.

▶ 33:25 Repent. Turn from your sin feel sorry for your sin feel bad about being a sinner turn from those sin get water baptized and follow on to know the Lord grow in God that’s the message we get distracted with future end time events oh let’s teach on finances let’s teach on family faith false prophets tell us about the mormons and Jehovah witnesses and uh grace oh tell us how we’re just God’s little golden spoon kids just yeah he just he just loves us with an unconditional love no matter what I do. He’s gonna bless me. Prosperity tell me I’m going to be prosperous purpose driven positive thinking possibility thinking prophecy God’s got a word for you you’re going to be a great evangelist you’re going to be a great [unclear].

▶ 34:25 Predestination are the P’s and the F’s you got to watch. The P’s, that’s what, the P’s and this. We get distracted from the basic gospel of Christ what was Christ’s first message repent and believe the gospel for the kingdom of God is at hand it’s here it’s not coming it’s here. And you are part of my kingdom. And I got laws in my kingdom that will protect you bless you and make your life great I got laws for my kingdom if I lay them. So we need to repent.

▶ 35:25 Jesus final words on the issue Matthew 24:44 therefore be ready that’s his final word. After all of this he says be ready be prepared. Okay. And he goes on to say if the Lord if the servant says the Lord delays his coming and he starts hurting mistreating his fellow servants. He starts drinking with the drunkards. He starts yielding to lust of the eyes lust of the flesh the pride of life the cares of this life the day of the Lord would come upon him. Unaware. He is not ready. And God’s saying to us in America are we ready.

▶ 36:19 After all this teaching Jesus focused on be ready admit you’re wrong. Feel bad about being wrong when God convicts you you will feel bad about it that’s part of it when he is involved in this and turn he will urge you to turn from that don’t do that sexual immorality, [unclear], stealing and lying anymore and he will finish the good work line upon line, precept upon precept in your life you won’t start out a mature Christian but he will get you there that’s his promise and that’s his final word I submit to you that Bible morality may be unpopular but the results are indisputable.
