▶ 19:00 Goes like this. I’ve called you to be and I will set up watchmen in the midst of the only gift I like. Holy unto me and behold. And I will raise up watchmen our lives. Disciples.

▶ 20:06 All nations. Baptizing everyone. Teaching. Them. Oh. With. You. That’s the key is teaching them what God has commanded don’t we have a great accountability.

▶ 21:15 For all that we have and we’ve been taught in this church for we have a lot to give out to people that need God’s word that need to be discipled and growing to a new level of truth and walking in righteousness. Amen. Come. Down you are welcome in this. Place.

▶ 26:50 This morning thank you. Jesus God those still live on today and they will live on forever God Lord your word is so powerful and so important in our lives Jesus I pray as Christians God Lord that we would take your word seriously God that we follow your word with all our heart.

▶ 28:02 We love you Jesus. Your precious name. Amen. In your majesty’s. Is.

▶ 29:10 Oh. Why nations have the government they have with a subtitle of doctrines that take the fight out of God’s people. With a subtitle of those doctrines. Remember we showed you in Matthew 4:8. That Jesus said or Satan said to Jesus that he was in control of all the nations and we showed you that Satan was lying Jesus Christ himself is in control of all the nations of the government he decides what’s going on in this world not Satan and the people that believe Satan’s in authority don’t believe in getting involved in politics or even voting then we showed you the doctrine of turn the other cheek go the extra mile give your clothes away sell all you have and give to the poor this doctrine was brought in.

▶ 30:21 By the liberal Christians in 17 in the 1700s. And uh their doctrine is Jesus was a good man wasn’t the son of God wasn’t born of a virgin didn’t do miracles miracles were miracles were only an illustration. Not real miracles and he didn’t die on the cross he didn’t rise from the grave and he’s not coming back we are just to treat people good uh like Jesus was a good example of treating people good many even though Jesus was more than just a good man yes he was God in the flesh he is the son of God and then we showed you that once they’ve always saved. Unconditional love God’s gonna love me no matter what I do no matter what my lifestyle is I’m gonna go to heaven salvation is free I’m saved by faith by grace through faith and no works even though the Bible says.

▶ 31:20 Let men see your good works. Am I right let your light shine that they may see your good works. And these things no works I don’t have to do anything I’m not accountable for anything responsible for anything so why try to make a difference in the world and that’s why I try to fight for the underdog. And last week we showed you that uh. People believe this statement live with the sword die by the sword that isn’t even in the Bible it doesn’t say that at all it says they that draw the sword shall die by the sword okay avenge not God is the avenger so judge not and we showed you that the avenger of blood was responsible to take care of matters in the home from people that violated that home the judges in the cities and the communities we’re responsible to judge and punish criminals and protect the citizens of that city that community the net the state and the nation and so forth amen.

▶ 32:24 Yes and the Bible says to judge righteous judgment all right. Now today we’re going to talk about the imminent return. The falling away the perilous times the seven year tribulation the 666 mark of the beast and the beast himself they are a big distraction from the Christians. Fighting the fight we heard in the opening scriptures the things are given to fighters. If you don’t fight you don’t get the Bible says fight the good fight of faith. And the fight has gone out of so many American Christians we’re letting horrible things go on in our nation and we’ve lost our fight and the imminent any minute return of Jesus is one of these doctrines so let’s take a look at these doctrines.

▶ 33:24 This is the fifth of six disarming doctrines the worst one is to come the most important one is coming next week. All right we’re going to go to the famous scripture in 2nd Thessalonians 2 2 be not shaken in mind. Or trouble. By spirit if a spirit’s talking to you by word if somebody printed something and gave it to you or spoke something to you nor by as a letter from us if people say us apostle said that Jesus is coming. Right now his coming is at hand it’s already happening. He says as that day of Christ is at hand he says don’t you be troubled don’t you be shaken. Shaken there is your mind removed from your natural mental state.

▶ 34:23 Into a different state and troubled as a fearful being alarmed being disturbed. By the second coming of Jesus Christ he said that they will not come until there is a falling away first and that son of perdition be revealed it amazes me how the people have the son of perdition the antichrist and the false prophet all one person. And the Bible doesn’t say that at all the false prophets different than the son of perdition then antichrist and the antichrist is different than the false prophet and so forth so shaken in mind. And troubled. Even if a spirit talked to you and said the day of Christ is at hand the apostles said don’t you be troubled by that don’t you be bothered by that.

▶ 35:20 Now. We’re going to go again to first Thessalonians 5 2-4 the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night okay. How many know I I grew up in detroit. I grew up right downtown detroit where the gangs were and the thieves were. And these these guys would break into houses at night while the people are sleeping and rob them literally robbed it now they didn’t get out there during the day and say hey you in that house we’re coming in tonight we’re not going to tell you what hour it is but we’re coming in tonight. They didn’t do that or they didn’t go at night and go hey you in the house we’re coming in to rob you. Jesus said his day his coming the end time will be like a thief in the night folks.

▶ 36:17 You don’t know what hour of the night the thief is coming you don’t know the day of the week that the thief is coming in the night you don’t know the month of the year the day of the week and the hour and the night that the thief is coming and you don’t know the year of the month of the week of the night that the thief is coming. You’d be up all night for the rest of your life waiting for the thief to come. And yet so many of these prophets and they make big money prophesying this stuff and predicting this stuff they’re billionaires writing books and giving tapes out that they know when he’s coming and they say it’s happening we’re living in the last days this is it. Are you with me. Of that day and hour knows no man not even the angels but my father only.

▶ 37:17 Now the Bible’s very plain nobody knows but yet they keep writing books and selling tapes and promoting that they got some insight. To the day of the Lord. And they trouble people they disturb people they divert people from fighting that fight. The Bible says as it was in the days of Noah so shall the coming of the son of man be then it goes on to clarify and says they were eating drinking marrying giving in marriage buying and selling a normal life was going on. No great tribulation no plagues no nothing a normal what life is going on when that day comes can I hear an amen. But they get us all disturbed and hyped up about this problems and woes and this calamities in the world every time there’s an earthquake or fires in california or the pandemic oh we’re in the last days.

▶ 38:22 I have been speaking for 50 years that Jesus Christ would not come in my lifetime. Back then they laughed at me and mocked me and all that but I’m here and they’ve been wrong. They said well you’re just going to die early I’m still here. And Jesus hasn’t come why there’s some things have got to be done before he comes that’s what’s holding his coming back. Hallelujah. But the day of the Lord in second Peter 3:10 will come like a thief here Peter says it the heavens will disappear like a roar the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and its works will be laid bare folks this is not like the thief in the knife coming to get money out of your wallet while you’re sleeping or steal your silverware and so forth this is a big change in what’s going on in the earth the heavens are going to go with a roar.

▶ 39:27 A big noise. Things are happening. Totally different than a thief. Jesus is coming to steal out of this world everything that offends and everything of sin and everything bad we’re going to clean it up. In Matthew 24 Luke 12. And Luke 21. And Mark 13. They all say the same thing and I was talking to a young man a minister and a part of a big church down in san diego of thousands. And I showed him in these chapters why he’s wrong about the second coming and when I got done he looked at it and said man.

▶ 40:24 That is so clear I said yes you don’t need interpretations and stuff you just need to read the Bible as it reads amen. Hallelujah but when people program us when we read the Bible we read what they told us to read. Yeah. Instead of reading what Jesus said so Jesus said after the great tribulation. After the great tribulation not before. The sun and moon will be dark the stars will fall distress of nations with people people will be distressed with perplexity that means they can’t figure out why these things are happening it’s beyond science science has no answer everybody’s perplexed while the sea is roaring and the stars are falling and the moon and sun aren’t shining and yet there’s light in the earth.

▶ 41:29 Now tell me you heard that statement. Before. Men’s hearts failing then for fear of those things coming on the earth the powers of heaven are shaken then shall they see the sign of the son of man coming. And then they will see the son of man coming. First the sign then the coming can I hear an amen hallelujah. With power and great glory there’s no imminent return. He’s coming. When he has done everything he said he would do before he comes. Hallelujah so he can’t come any minute he’s got to wait until everything is fulfilled first things have to be fulfilled the reason he didn’t come yesterday and the day before and the month before is all things aren’t fulfilled yet so they he can’t be coming any minute I don’t care what your argument is.

▶ 42:40 That is a fact. When everything is done he’s coming. One thing for sure he’s coming. Now look at this one Daniel 11 35 some of the wise. Shall stumble and be refined purified and made spotless until the time of the end for it shall come at the what any minute time. Or the what appointed time when you’re waiting for a bus and it’s supposed to be there at 8 15. You better get there a little early because that bus is going to be right around 8 15. And if you’re late you’re going to miss the bus. There’s an appointed time. Can I hear an amen. But look at this.

▶ 43:33 Check this out. How many you know. The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. When we accept Christ get born again and start following him. That is the beginning of our wisdom isn’t it hallelujah we fear the Lord. All right and we stop sinning and we work on getting better and better more righteous now look with that context. Some of the wise will stumble how many have stumbled after you came to Christ yes all right some these people some of the wise not all the wise some of the wives are grown up they’re not stumbling. Anymore but there’s others who are wise by fearing God that make mistakes and they stumble but look what he says they’re going to be refined they’re going to be purified and made spotless.

▶ 44:35 Until the second coming of Christ now what does he say in Ephesians he’s going to present to himself a glorious church without spot or wrinkle or any such thing amen. Daniel prophesied what Paul said in Ephesians that there’s a generation he’s raising up in the earth yes they make mistakes but I keep refining them I keep purifying I keep changing their life hallelujah and I’m coming back for a glorious church in the end without spot or wrinkle or any such thing and Satan can’t stop it. Hallelujah. Amen isn’t that powerful. Now. Going back to 2nd Thessalonians 2 2 be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled that the day of the Lord is at hand.

▶ 45:37 In 1844 we had what we call the great disappointment. A baptist preacher by the name of William Miller a farmer. A brethren preacher by the name of John darby came up with this idea of pre-tribulation rapture a secret rapture the church is going to be caught up before seven years of tribulation and anyone left in that seven year period is going to suffer horribly. And then at the end of that seven year tribulation Jesus is going to come back. A second time a third time actually a second time. This thing caught on someone and he had his graphs. Ah the pictures the graphs this thing caught on so much that thousands of believers and every denomination started following it and he come up by numerology.

▶ 46:35 That on a certain day in 1844. Jesus was coming and rapturing his church those that are ready. And so people in that day. Sold their business sold their property gave everything away to the poor. Some of them even bought rapture robes. White robes so I can be taken up in rapture road man they were can you see them out there sell in here get your robe get your rapture road and go to the mountain dot get up in the highest place you can get so that you’re the first one that will see and experience the rapture. Well that day come and went and know Jesus.

▶ 47:30 Thousands of people got disappointed. You don’t need to be shaking your head like that okay. Some of them committed suicide. Some of them went off the deep end and went. Crazy a great tragedy that happened back there. Great tragedy. There were two things in the 1800s. That birthed many churches illegally. The two things were slavery. And the second coming. The southern baptist southern methodist southern presbyterian the southern catholics and on and on said that slavery.

▶ 48:25 Was okay it was approved in the Bible and they broke away from their northern counterparts. Folks slavery is not approved by the Bible and I’ve showed you for decades why okay. If these churches could be started on false grounds how do you know they’re not on false grounds today. The second one is the second coming of Christ. The second coming of Christ many churches were started during this time. Wesley by the way. Predicted the second coming. All right russell. Of Jehovah witnesses predicted the second coming Joseph smith of the mormons predicted the second coming white ellen white of the seventh-day adventist church predicted the seventh second coming.

▶ 49:29 Then you got. The Moon of the Moonies Armstrong of the worldwide church of God. Jerry Falwell predicted the second coming in the 90s 1990s casey. Isaac newton. How many have ever heard of Isaac newton yeah he predicted that Christ would come and the world would end in the year 2000. Guess what it’s 2020. Nobody knows folks why do we keep trying to predict something that nobody knows because we make money and we we we sound real spiritual we got a depth of spirituality that nobody else has I got a connection with God that nobody else has. Ridiculous.

▶ 50:24 [unclear] Camping, [unclear] Dixon, Jeane Dixon ever heard of her she missed horribly. Chuck Smith have you heard of Chuck Smith all right David wilkerson. Yeah. How lindsey ever heard of him he’s changed his uh his date I don’t know how many times I got tired of counting. Okay late gary planet earth after it didn’t happen in the 80s like he said he just kept changing it and he’s still changing it today I can’t believe people even watch him but they make millions off of gullible people. Heggy heggie just wrote a book a few years ago about the blood moons I laughed I just I as an accident and I told the congregation this is ridiculous.

▶ 51:18 When the moon turns to blood it’s going to be supernaturally done not naturally done and so Hagee’s prophecy came and went but he. Made a million dollars off of the books and the tapes people listening to him are you there and I could go on with copeland or roberts I can just there’s just no end to the people that predicted Jesus would come in their lifetime he’s coming quickly and he hasn’t come. It’s a big distraction just troubling the people. The y2k in the year 2000 I told you before I had elders in the church can you preach on the y2k problem I said I sure can no problem. I preached on it and they come up all the elders come up at the end I hope you’re right.

▶ 52:14 Why because they believe the lies in the newspapers and everything that because the computers weren’t programmed right that dams are going to break and the lights were going to be blinking on and off nobody knew when to stop starting all this stuff and crashing and they went and bought out. The sports companies and and the department stores of camping stuff and and lanterns and whatever. But see I had training in computers. Number one I know and a computer only knows to do what you tell it to do. I was trained in computers and number two I knew my Bible I was trained in the Bible so I knew this was a hoax are you there. But people believed it. People got panicky and believed it.

▶ 53:07 And then lo and behold if Pope Francis didn’t predict. Even the catholics get in on this. Are you there and it just troubles the people and shakes their mind and gets them distracted that we are to be a light to the world that people see our good works and bring glory to the father that we are out there speaking up for the oppressed and the deprived in this world amen. Now let’s look at some other scriptures about the second coming. So shall it be at the end of the world the son of man shall send his angels together out of his kingdom all things that offend and them that do iniquity and will cast them into a furnace of fire that is the purpose. Okay.

▶ 53:59 So shall it be at the end of the world angels shall come separate the wicked from among the just and who in the parable of the tares that he’s addressing here were taken first. The tares. Not the good seat. Not God’s people the wicked were taken first are you there. The pre-tribulation and post-tribulation rapture people who do they have taken first. The saints. Just letting it sink. In and and we hear it over and over and over we just believe it we don’t check it out. And Jesus plainly said the wicked from among the just so the just or where where are the just when he does this right here on earth.

▶ 54:52 Amen. And the wicked are taken first in this parable. And cast into a furnace of fire the lake of fire. His gospel Jesus’s gospel to the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony. As a testimony say it with me as a testimony. To all people and then the end will come now folks we have taken the gospel to the ends of the world but not with a testimony. Not with signs following like it says in Matthew and mark. The apostles went with signs falling God the Bible says backed up their word with signs following they raised the dead they healed the sick Peter’s shadow would cure people.

▶ 55:50 Tremendous sign how many know God can do these things. Now maybe you know even the two witnesses in Revelations. They’re doing signs. Before Christ comes aren’t they. Well they are. Amen. The world is not going to end until Jesus demonstrates his power through his preachers throughout the whole earth with signs follow these signs shall follow them that believe mark says and the Lord work with the word confirming the word with what signs following that’s the witness that’s the proof that the gospel is true. So.

▶ 56:45 As the musicians come. In those days after the great tribulation in Revelation 7:14. An innumerable. Company of people that came out of great tribulation is in heaven can’t be numbered. Okay can’t be numbered. In those days there’s some events going to happen over a period of time not one instant but over a period of time the sun and moon will be dark the stars will fall powers in heaven shaken men mourn in distress men perplexed because they can’t figure out in the human mind how this could happen. Their hearts are fell on them and he says lift up your heads where are we at right here are we perplexed no man we’re going hey I got it he’s getting ready to come we’re looking we’re lifting up our heads we’re not depressed we’re not mourning we’re not cast down.

▶ 57:51 We’re excited. Amen. Even with the moon and sun dark and all the stars falling the God’s people have their head looking to God the heavenlies amen. We’re not like the other people. Ah. Oh yeah where am I at then every eye shall see the sign. Then every eye shall see the sun of God coming in the clouds with power and glory then at that time shall he send his angels and gather his elect from the uttermost parts of the earth and heaven. We are his elect and where are we at right here on earth with our heads and looking to the sky saying come Lord Jesus come on amen.

▶ 58:51 Hallelujah. Now. Jeremiah 22:3. Execute judgment. And righteousness. Rescue people from the oppressor. And the robber this is what the second coming distracts us from. Homosexuals. And same-sex people are approved today and the church is just silent. Okay. Fifty percent of Americans have a sexually transmitted disease. Because of the sexual permission have gone on in America okay they’ve had or have had are have now 30 000 people a year die from sexually transmitted diseases and the church is silent.

▶ 59:54 We allow people in our congregation to live together and everything else 450 000 die from tobacco 85 000 from alcohol and drugs another 80 000 drug related deaths a year and the church is silent. Our politicians are making laws to have to give them the freedom to smoke marijuana and take drugs and everything else and the church is silent why we’re expecting Jesus to come and get us out of this mess oh this is this is the pearless times that he’s talking about these are the last days and all these bad things are going to happen oh come Lord Jesus he’s going to come he’s going to come no he isn’t coming till everything is fulfilled and we are to be people that deliver and rescue those oppressed and those being robbed from their calamities and the tyrannies of the people over him can I hear an amen we’ve got to fight the fight of faith.

▶ 1:00:50 Kid abuse 5 million physically every year are physically abused starving beaten or whatever 460 000 children. Are sexually abused every year and the church is silent. 100 1825 were murdered in the year that I did this and the church is silent children innocent you can’t get any more innocent than children and God said I will not forgive the shedding of innocent blood and the church is silent why the fight’s been taken out of us by these doctrines we’re just not fighters anymore in the 50s the church was fighters I lived in the 50s they fought for righteousness they fought for. Justice. Over a million are aborted every year unwed mothers birth 41 percent of babies 50 live with one real parent 4.5 million abused youth run away from parents or foster care every year there’s over a million on the streets every day in America.

▶ 1:02:01 Foster care is funded by tax money it has become a big business in America just like welfare women can have babies and get enough money from the government our tax money to live. Fairly comfortable. They don’t need to marry in fact they can have a man but they don’t let anybody know because taxpayer money is funding them taxpayer money is funding foster care they give them the homosexuals they give them to any parent without any standard. It’s become a money-making racket in America just like the welfare program and the church is silent. The fight has been taken out of us. Today we need to get the fight back can I hear an amen.

▶ 1:02:53 Hallelujah. If you believe with me we need to get the fight back and God can put the fight back in us and that we need to stand up and speak up for those who can’t defend himself like the Bible said will you stand with me and let’s pray this prayer in closing. Change. My may I be.
