minutes tonight. Revelation chapter
22 and verse 4. I delight in being here. And
thank the good Lord for air conditioning. Brother Rupert called me today
and he said, I've noticed on the Weather Channel that you're
getting our heat. And I said, you could have kept Oh my goodness, the tomatoes
just go crazy. We're going to be here in the
book of Revelation, chapter 22. And this verse is directly connected
to the previous verse, verse 3, by a colon. So I'd like to
read both of those verses, even though we did a little bit on
verse 3 last time. And there shall be no more curse.
And I have to say that once the Lord saves us by His grace, we
are not under the curse anymore. Now. There is therefore now no
condemnation to them that are in Christ. The curse is over. We deal with it in our gardens,
and we deal with it in our bodies. We deal with it with people,
but we don't deal with it with Christ. That's over. The curse
is over. He was cursed for us. I really
appreciate the message that Brother Marvin brought about He became
sin for us. The more we hear about that,
the more we are thankful for His work on the cross, that the
work that He performed, that He was able to take our sin and
deal with it, and deal with it completely. and deal with it
totally, and it will never raise its head again against the elect. It is the elect that God justifies. Who shall bring any charge, any
charge to God's elect is God that justifies. So as we read
here, there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God
and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve
him. Now I like what the Lord said,
My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. My sheep hear my voice and they
follow me. That is going to be the activity
of all of God's sheep. They will follow Christ. If we don't, then we don't know
him. That's it. If they don't, The
only people that I've ever been around that have ever, ever considered
things rightly when it comes to parents, grandparents, aunts
and uncles, and children, are people who believe in God's free
and sovereign grace. They will never, ever say, just
because my dad made a profession of faith, he's in the kingdom.
My sheep hear my voice and they follow me and they will follow
grace. They will not get in a tither, bitter over grace. And the same
goes with everybody else. So my sheep hear my voice. They
will pay attention to grace. They will love grace. They will
appreciate grace. It is the only way out of the
pit. And then in verse four, and they shall see his face. Now we get a glimpse of that
today when God saves us in this gospel day. We get a glimpse
of that. Yet the Bible tells us that it is as through a glass
darkly. We have a veil over us. We have this old flesh over us.
Our spiritual eyes see perfectly. But we have this veil over us
and that veil will be taken away when we pass through the valley
of the shadow of death. And this becomes true reality,
but I want to say that everything that we found in the book of
Revelation with regard to the blessings that God has for his
church in time and for eternity is also for time. We have blessings
in time. They may not be as, well, they
are not what we shall have, but they are there. We have the down
payment. We have the Holy Spirit seal. We have all of those blessings
now. So when we read, there's no more curse, we deal with it,
but there's no more curse. Then there'll be no more curse.
We won't even deal with it. It won't be even part of our
thought processes. So everything that God has for
His church, shared with us in this book, is time and for eternity. There is a change that God makes.
in us, thou shalt see his face." Now, I was reading one of my
favorite books the other day, Deuteronomy. You know, for a
long time I thought, I'm going to get through this book. I may
have to read the Reader's Digest version, but I was reading this
the other day. In fact, I had my computer on,
and I was listening to it be read while I was reading it,
and I really enjoy that. But would you turn with me, keeping
your finger here, would you turn with me to Deuteronomy chapter
11? Now, Deuteronomy chapter 11, verses 10 and 11, have a
lot to do with this book of Revelation. It has a lot to do with the new
birth. It has a lot to do with spiritual things. And the Lord,
through Moses, is explaining this to the children of Israel. Remember that all those that
were of war age have died off. They did not, they could not,
if you please, enter into the promised land. It takes the second
birth to enter in. It takes the second group to
enter in. You're not going to enter into
the promised land on your first birth. It takes the new birth. And that's just an illustration
the Lord shows us. And even when he told them that
they're not going to enter in, they said, well, we'll just get
ready and go in ourself. And that's just rebellion in
the heart. And we hear it every day when
we visit with religious people. I'm going to do it my way anyway.
Well, Deuteronomy chapter 11, verses 10 and 11, Moses shared
this. And this is comparing Egypt and Canaan, comparing the old
life and the new life. Now, I didn't know what it all
meant until I found out what one word meant in here. Now,
listen to this. Verse 10, for the land whither
thou goest in to possess it is not as the land of Egypt, from
which ye came out, where thou sowest thy seed and waterest
with thy foot. And I says, whoa, that's a tread
wheel. Now, I've seen pictures of those
still used in Egypt where they had to pump their own water.
They were efforts. It was their effort. And he said,
this land will not be like Egypt. You're not going to work for
the water. Because it goes on and says,
as the garden of earth, but the land whether ye go to possess
it is the land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain
of heaven. The work is over. No more treadmills. No more people sitting on a bicycle
seat pumping with their feet trying to get enough water so
they can have their herb garden. He said the land of Egypt was
like that, but this land is not like that. Now he's making a
statement here. He's making a statement that
is applied throughout the entire Bible, Book of Revelation included,
when we see, as it says there, and they shall see his face.
It's not by treadmill. It's by rain from heaven. Now rain, we all know the water
cycle. It's taught in all science classes.
Third graders know the water cycle. We see it, and we let
it happen to us, but we are not involved. Water runs down the
Columbia River, goes out in the Pacific Ocean. Heat hits it,
it evaporates, goes up in clouds, comes across in cloud form and
drops. Now how much did we have to do
with that? Just as much as we had to do with our spiritual
birth. It's an act of God, it's a miracle. You can see it happen,
you know it's coming, but you can't make it happen. All right,
now, that's Egypt. The land you're going to is not
like Egypt. You're not gonna sit on treadmills
pumping water for a garden. It's gonna fall from heaven.
Now, that's the spiritual. That's what we get, and that's
what we have here in this book, chapter 22, verse 4, as well
as the whole book. They shall see his face, and
this is not by works, but this is by revelation. And we're gonna
look at some verses that share that with us as we find the same
word in other places in the New Testament. Well, would you turn
with me on your way back to the book of Revelation to 1 Corinthians
chapter 13. 1 Corinthians chapter 13. We have limited sight, but we
do have sight. A couple years ago when I woke
up and this eye was just a blank, I knew what I was missing. When
they say that it was retina detachment, I didn't know all that meant,
but I knew I couldn't see. Now, as good a sight as I have
now in that, it beats what I had. And as good a sight as we have
of Christ beats what we had. When we are spiritually blind
and cannot see any spiritual blessings about Christ, we are
dead. We are treble-hooked dead. I
kind of appreciated what Brother Marvin had to say about floating
down the river. He's going to have to snag us,
because we can't reach for the lifeline. Throw out the lifeline,
throw out the lifeline, won't do a bit of good. It takes the
grace of God, and thank God for big treble hooks. One time I
went fishing with my father-in-law in Alaska. We went into a sporting
goods store. He's looking for hooks. I says,
what are we looking for? He says, we're looking for a
special hook. I says, what kind of hook is it? He says, I'll
find it here in just a minute. Pretty soon, he brought a hold
of treble hooks, and the whole thing was probably this big around,
three hooks. I says, how in the world are
we going to catch fish with that? He says, I'll show you. We went
out there on the river, flipped over there, swoop! Oh, got one
right in the side. Pull it in. We'll eat it. Now,
it was illegal, as all get out, but we got the fish. Those were
live fish. Thank God for big treble hook
of grace, big treble hook of gospel, big treble hook, or we'd
float down the river to eternity. And that would be death, eternal
death. All right. Now, in 1 Corinthians
13, verse 12, it shares this. For now we see through a glass. I like that, though. Now we see. That's better than what we had. Dead blindness. Now we see through
a glass, darkly, but then face to face. We see, but through
a glass darkly. What that means is when you read
the scripture, thank God you have a little idea what capital
L, capital O, capital R, capital B means. Sovereign God. Thank God you know a little bit
about that. You may not know another thing about the whole
verse, but thank God we know a little bit about that one word. I looked up this evening, capital
L, capital O, capital R, capital D, it's used about 1,300 times
in the Old Testament. It's that Jehovah, Sovereign
God. He didn't leave Israel alone. He took care of them. He was
their God. Even though they didn't trust
Him, He led them. He's just showing us what He
must do, even to them. If they're going to even get
from this point to that point, He's going to have to lead them.
What does He do for us spiritually? He leads us from this point to
that point, or we'll never get there. We see through a glass
door, see them face to face. Now I know in part. I don't feel
too bad sometimes. Lord, I just don't understand
this. You know in part. I've shown you in part. But then
shall I know even also as also I am known. Now that's going
to be the tremendous revelation to wake up in the presence of
the Lord. to wake up in glory, to be translated in that way. But now we do see, though in
part, through a glass darkly, yes, but we do get to see the
God of glory appears unto his people today. We may not understand
this, but he still does appear to his people and takes them
out of the position that they're in and places them in the kingdom
of his dear son. Turn with me, if you would, to
1 John, 1 John chapter 3, And we find here again that this
blessed figure, that though we don't understand completely,
God never said we would, through a glass darkly, we see. Yet it's through a glass darkly.
1 John 3, verse 2. 1 John 3, verse 2, beloved, now are we
the sons of God. It does not yet appear that we
shall be, but we know that when we shall appear, when he shall
appear. Now you know, I don't have it
all figured out now. But it does say, now are we the
sons of God. What a miracle. God took rebels. God took worms. I like that song
we just sang, Brother Mike. Worms, and makes them his children. What a blessing. 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 we shall see him as he is. Then face to face, what we do
see, that's the miracle. God took dead rebels and made
them alive and gave them a new heart. And this heart, This heart
loves the glory of God. This heart rejoices in Him. And though we see through a glass
darkly, we do get to see. He leads us. We press towards
the mark. We head for Christ Jesus the
Lord. He is all and in all our sustenance,
our bread of life, and our water of life. Our spiritual well-being
is in Christ. It is not in a tricycle with
a pump on it watering our herbs. It is rain falling down from
heaven, the spiritual blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now,
when we pass through the valley, the veil will be lifted. When
we pass through the valley, the veil will be lifted. It will
be taken off. And, we'll not be disappointed,
it will be grander than we thought. Because we're still thinking
with this old Adamic thought process. Our spirit is already
understanding what it is. That's the blessing. He's left
his down payment. He's left his spirit with us. He's given us something that
never was before, created us alive, and that will be taken
care of. Now this word see, I just have
to think of it. It's a miracle word. It's a miracle
word. To see is a very special word. It's like having no sight and then getting
it. It's a miracle sight according
to how it's used in the New Testament. And there are several verses
I'd like to look at. And I think we'll get through this and we'll
close. But it's just miracle sight. It's the unexplained sight. It's the unexplainable occurrences. It's the things that happen that
weren't expected. Zacharias was met at the altar
by an angel. He didn't go down to the temple
one day and say, well, I think the angel's coming today. He
went down there, and was he surprised? Because the angel of the Lord
met him. Turn with me, if you will, this
is the second one we're going to look at, but turn with me
to the book of Matthew. We'll look at Luke and Zacharias in
just a moment. But in the book of Matthew chapter
5, Matthew chapter 5, the same word see is found. It says, and
they shall see his face. This is not by treadmill. This is by rain. We don't see
Christ by reading the scriptures a hundred times. I'll never forget. It was brought to my attention
today as I was out in my study. I was asked by Nancy to watch
Nathan when he was just little. She was doing something in the
house. And I had my proud little New Testament here, and I was
watching him in the yard out there, and I said, I'm going
to read this two or three times while I'm watching him, and I'm
going to learn what's in this book. It didn't happen. I had no idea until Christ revealed
his son to me what this book was even about. It was religious
rigor. Some of you are shaking your
head. You know what I'm talking about. It's religious rigor. This is
the book of religious rigor until Christ is revealed, and then
it's the book of Christ, and freedom, and redemption, and
a Redeemer, and a Savior. It just takes on a totally new
view. We lose the rigor of it. We get
to sit down at the right hand of Christ. All right, Matthew.
Matthew 5, verse 8, this word is used here, blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see God. Now that word see is
the same word that we find over here. But these Beatitudes, they're
not just people that come along and say, well, I feel really
really down and pure and I've gone through the grind and I've
climbed 400 steps on glass and on my knees and I just feel really
good and humble before the Lord and proud of it and now I'm pure. No! This is an activity of the
Holy Spirit. The Beatitudes are explaining
the new birth. It is an attitude of God working
in us. We'll never accomplish that.
Oh, blessed are the peacemakers. I don't know how many times that's
been given to renegades. Always a peacemaker. That's not
the kind of peace he's talking about. This is peace in the soul. A man settled with the Creator. But this is blessed. Blessed
are the meek for, excuse me, There in verse 8, blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Without the new birth,
we shall not even see the kingdom of God. It is absolutely essential. It is God given. It's rain from
heaven. It's not sitting on a treadmill.
It's not bringing water out of the Nile River and putting it
on a field. It's not carrying it. It's falling
from heaven. It's a blessing of grace. That's
what this is. All right, now let's look at
Luke chapter 1. There are a number of other places,
but I just picked out a few here that demonstrate what this word
has to say to us. In Luke chapter 1, and there
in verse 11, Zacharias, he's doing his part. He's gone down
there and he's doing his part as a priest. And it says in verse
11, and there appeared. This word appeared. This is miracle. This is not Zacharias. This is God's work. Zacharias
is going through the physical form of his religion, doing what
he knows to do, and I believe that Zacharias was a believer,
but he's still doing what he was told to do. What's it say? There appeared unto him an angel
of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense,
and when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled and fear fell upon
him. This is unexpected! This is not something that was
planned by Zacharias. This is something God planned.
God purposed. Often times when we find this
angel of the Lord in scripture, we're looking at Jesus Christ
pre-incarnate. There are times it appears that
he's even doing that when he's in his mother's womb. The angel
of the Lord appeared unto those shepherds. Now, I don't understand
all I know about it. But there's some things that
happened there that were just plain miraculous, unexpected,
out of the ordinary. We're so used to going through
this rigor that when God brings the gospel to us and we hear
it and he opens our heart and regenerates us and gives us a
new heart, it's astonishing. We weren't expecting it. It was
beyond us. In fact, we're probably backpedaling
from it. But God in his grace, as he says
here, appeared. There appeared unto him an angel
of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar in the sense.
And he is fearful of this. This is beyond his daily activity. This hasn't happened before.
But it goes on to explain what's going to happen. John the Baptist
is going to be born. All right, let's look at another
one, John 11. John 11, now if you remember this is, as we've
gone through it, Mike went through it, this is the resurrection
of Lazarus, this is the raising of Lazarus, but I've never paid
attention to this verse like I should have, like most verses,
I should have paid closer attention. But look at there, John 11 verse
40, John 11 verse 40, And it says here, Jesus saith
unto her, said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of God. You should see. Now, what is
he gonna do in just short order? He's gonna raise a man that's
been dead four days. You're gonna see the glory of
God. If you believe, you shall see
the glory of God. What a statement is made here
about the resurrection. God allows us to see the glory
of God when He gives us a new heart. We've seen the glory of
God, the mercy of God, the regenerating work of God. Though we don't
understand it, something's happened. We've been taken from deadness
to life. We've been taken from rigor to
love and mercy of God. It's inexplainable. We can't
put our hands on it. We don't have it. Kind of like
I was visiting with Marvin about Joshua. Joshua and Jennifer are
coming out next Monday. I'll tell you right now. I'll probably mention it Sunday,
next Wednesday too. But Joshua, he knows. that he's a living creature,
he's having fun, life is good, but you ask him when he was born,
he says, does it matter? So what? So what? Here I am. My goodness. It doesn't matter
when. It matters that. It matters that. That's important. Have you seen
the glory of God? That's not treadmill glory. That's
not treadmill sight. That's not working furiously
and with rigor. That's rain. Well, I don't think
I'll ever look at the rain like I will now. I've never looked
at it like that. Here I was, working. I had thighs
as big. Work, work, work, work, work.
And never, ever any rest. And now it's just a gentle rain. He'll take care of it. It's his
mercy and his grace that he sheds upon us without cause from us. We pray and thank him for it.
But we didn't promote it. We don't get it. By prayer, he
doesn't do it. He does it, and we're thanking
for it. That's what we do. So here, you shall see. There
in John chapter 11 and verse 40, as we read over there, they
shall see his face. It's a miracle to see the face
of Christ. It's not something that is normal.
It's something that is abnormal. With us, with the human race,
if God should ever show the worm the face of God, What glory,
and we get to see it now, though through a glass darkly. Don't
just think everything is then. I've read some of these old Puritans,
and I wonder, what kind of life did they really have? They write
books on how you should feel imposed upon all the time. You
should be at your altar all the time. My altar's Christ. I'm thankful
every day. He's my hope. I'm not impinged
upon by the law, because he took care of it. I love him for it. I'm thankful for it. Lord only
knows, I think more ill and do more ill than I've ever wanted
to, but it happens. But I'm thankful I can come to
Christ. Bow to him. As it says there. Said I not
unto thee, if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the
glory of God. And then they took away the stone
from the place where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted up
his eyes and said, Father, thank thee that thou hast heard me,
and I know that thou hearest me always, but because of the
people which stand by, I said it, thankful for those women. That's who he's praying. I'm
going to do this for them. I'm doing it for the elect. I'm
doing it for my disciples. I'm doing it for all that you
have given me. This is why I'm here. This is
why I'm doing this. And it said there, verse 43,
and we had spoken. He cried with a loud voice. Lazarus,
come forth. And there was never a greater
demonstration of the glory of God in the eyes of those people
than when he appeared to them in their regeneration. They saw the same glory. Now,
Acts chapter 7 verse 2. This is about Abraham down in
Ur of the Chaldees. Now this is before he had the
Muslim race and the Jewish race. He's just down there and Joshua
tells us that Abraham worshipped other gods. on the other side
of the flood. That means the other side of
the Euphrates River, where he was brought out from. He's down
there doing his religious thing. He pumped more water with his
treadmill. He was religious to the core.
He just spent most of his time on that treadmill down there.
He worshipped other gods. Now, the storm is coming. The
rain is about to fall. God's grace is about to appear.
Notice this. Now this isn't what, it doesn't
seem to be when he was regenerated. It seems to be when God began
to pull him out. Later it says, and that's what
we have quoted in the New Testament, he believed God. And that was
accounted unto him for righteousness. But it just goes to show that
God appears to his elect before they're regenerated. and does
many things with them, leads them, draws them, moves them. And I've heard people say, he
moved my job. I've heard people say he moved
the preacher. I've heard all kinds of things
happen. And that's just what it is. Now notice here in Acts
chapter seven, verse two, he said, men hearken, men, brethren,
others hearken. that God of glory, now that's
only one person, that's the Lord God Almighty, appeared. Now that's the word see that
we find in Revelation chapter 22 and verse 4. That's the same
word. The Lord of glory appeared. Now Abraham was content with
where he was. And if the Lord of glory had
not appeared unto him, he'd have stayed there. He never would
have left. He had continued in his role
of pumping water onto his herbs. He never would have got out where
the rain was. God took him out so it could
rain on him. He saw God. God gave him belief. He believed God. And that's all
that was necessary for him to ever do. God counted that as
righteousness, because he believed God. God gave him his righteousness. But the God of glory appeared
unto him. And that is essential. That is
necessary. He will never save anybody without
him appearing unto them in the gospel. So the God of glory appeared
unto him. Now this is Stephen in his defense,
but he starts right back there. Where that family started. Israel
started. Their father, Abraham. Isaac
and Jacob the patriarchs and when he was dealing with with
Israel in the book of Deuteronomy two or three or four times He
said I'm kind to you because I made a covenant with them We're
my people because I made a covenant with them It's not that you're
the best or the biggest you're really insignificant, but I made
a covenant with them and that's where all their blessings lie,
in the covenant. And that's where our blessings
lie, is in the covenant of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ. Back up,
if you would, to Acts chapter one, verse three. Acts chapter
one, verse three, and it says here, the Lord appeared. For whom also he showed himself
alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen
of them forty days." There was people, his disciples, that saw
him. And there was still a multitude
that believed the story of the guys watching the tomb. while
we slept, because it says, this is commonly believed even until
this day, the day that was written, commonly believed, while we slept,
the guard slept, which was a capital offense, while the guard slept,
while we slept, they came and stole his body. Now, here is
those, though, that being seen, that's that word, being seen
of, them forty days, and speaking the things pertaining to the
kingdom of God, he was seen." And this is brought out, if you
turn over with me to 1 Corinthians chapter 15, in this one passage
of scripture, in four verses, we have this four times, this
word is used, that shares with us the absolute essentialness
of having sight that comes from God. 1 Corinthians 15, verses
5, 6, 7, and 8. 1 Corinthians 15, verses 5, 6, 7, and 8. What a
statement is made here. Well, we have Paul saying in
verse 1, I declare unto you the gospel. And then he gives us
a real straightforward statement about what the gospel is. And
then in verse 5, he says, and that he was seen of Cephas. That word seen is the same word
that we find over there in the book of Revelation chapter 22
and verse 4. See his face. He was seen of
Cephas. The Lord revealed himself. You
know, we know. It says there in Luke, the last
chapter, he was seen by two disciples. They had no idea who he was.
Then he was seen by them and they knew who he was. He revealed
himself to them. That's what this is, is to be
seen, to be seen miraculously, revealed miraculously, opened
hearted, miraculously, new heart. miraculously seeing God. And
in verse 6 it says, and after that he was seen of about 500
brethren at once. He was seen. He revealed himself. I am the Lord. I am the Lord
God Almighty. I'm the Messiah. I'm Jesus Christ
of Nazareth. I'm the King of the Jews. Whatever
term they wanted to look at, he was seen by them. And then
the next verse it says, and after that he was seen of James. And
then all the apostles he was seen. This is the resurrected
one. This is the resurrected glory
of God. And then finally, I love this
one. Because we get to put our names
there if we want, if we can. Last of all, he was seen of me. Last of all, he was seen of me.
Last of all, he was seen of me also. That's one born out of
due time. He was seen of me. I got to see him. Religion kept
him blind. Christ caused him to see. This is a miraculous seeing. It's just not common. Not long ago, not too long ago,
10 years or so, there were these books going around with these
pictures. If you stared at them long enough,
they just, boom, popped right out at you. And people would
look at those and look at those and say, there's nothing there.
And some people would look at it and say, oh, look at that
horse. Look at that fish. Look at that motorcycle. Look
at that. Well, we don't see Christ the same way because it isn't
by staring at him that we get to see him. It's a miracle. But there is some thought there. He is revealed to some and not
to others. They can't see a thing. That
happened during his public ministry. And there was a whole bunch of
Hittites, Hivites, Jebusites, and other people that could have
cared less about Israel being led by God. They were willing
to go to battle against them. At any time. It was interesting,
the book of Deuteronomy says, if you go up to a city, you sue
for peace first. And if they want to be your servants,
let them live. Not one city did that. We don't
want to be your servants. Well, that's just the attitude
people have towards God if they don't have a changed heart. I'm
not going to be your servant. I'm king. Well, one verse left. Would you turn with me to the
book of Hebrews? chapter nine, Hebrews chapter nine. And we
have one other verse where this word is used. They shall see
him. We shall see him. They shall
see his face. Hebrews chapter nine. And in verse 28. So Christ was once offered to
bear the sins of many. And upon them that look for him
shall he appear, that's the same word, shall he appear the second
time without sin unto salvation. Now only the church is anticipating
the coming of Christ. Only the church will anticipate
this appearance. The church is anticipating. It's
not going to be a bad deal for God's people to have Christ come
back. Not too long ago, a guy down
in California, everybody I visited with, every believer that I visited
with, said, boy, that'd be great if it really happened. The Lord
came back, be great. Nobody. But I'll tell you what,
he's never called on any preacher to predict the date. Never. In fact, when the disciples asked
him about, is it now you're going to restore the kingdom? That's not what he came for,
to restore the Israeli kingdom. He says, I'm not going to discuss
that with you, but I will discuss this. I'm coming again. I will come back. And that's
what, when we take the Lord's Supper, just do and remember
to me until he returns. So, the second time, he's coming
back. Now it's not going to be secretive.
It's going to be with a loud voice. Loud trumpet. It's not going to be a rapture.
It's going to be God taking his people and putting them on the
right-hand side and taking the rest and putting them on the
left-hand side because he can sort them out. And then he's
just gonna say what he said and eternity's gonna start. This
thing is gonna be over with. It's not gonna take him 5,000
years to judge all the people. In Christ, out of Christ. Welcome,
depart. That's not difficult. We read here, and it's so true
throughout all the scriptures, and they shall see his face. It will be like rain, God-given. It will not be like a treadmill,
man-produced.
