PAUL. 05:37 HE SAYS, "FOR THE LORD HIMSELF WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, WITH 05:41 A LOUD COMMAND, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL AND 05:45 WITH THE TRUMPET CALL OF GOD, AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST 05:48 WILL RISE FIRST." 05:50 IT'S RATHER EXTRAORDINARY, ISN'T IT? 05:53 CAN YOU THINK ABOUT IT? 05:55 THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID, "THE LORD HIMSELF 05:57 WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN." 05:58 THAT'S JESUS. 06:00 WELL, "HE'S GOING TO COME BACK TO THIS PLANET." 06:03 PAUL SAID, "HE'S GOING TO COME BACK TO THIS PLANET 06:06 WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD." 06:09 SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY, VERY LOUD. 06:13 AND PAUL SAID, "THE DEAD IN CHRIST ARE GOING TO COME FORTH." 06:18 THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IF YOU'VE TAKEN AS MANY FUNERALS AS I HAVE 06:23 BECAUSE WHEN A PERSON IS DEAD, HE'S DEAD. 06:28 BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE DEAD IN CHRIST-- 06:31 THOSE WHO DIED TRUE BELIEVERS, NOT PRETENDERS, 06:36 BUT HE SAID, "THOSE WHO DIED WITH THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST 06:40 ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO COME FORTH OUT OF THE GRAVE." 06:44 AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO COME FORTH AS THEY WENT DOWN, 06:47 SICK AND OLD WITH ALL SORTS OF INFIRMITIES, THEY'RE GOING TO 06:52 COME FORTH WITH IMMORTAL BODIES AND THEY WILL NEVER, NEVER 06:57 DIE AGAIN. 06:59 THEREFORE, I DO BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH. 07:03 I ALSO BELIEVE, AND I BETTER BELIEVE IT AND YOU BETTER 07:06 BELIEVE IT TOO, THAT THE CHRISTIAN'S ONLY AUTHORITY 07:10 IS THE TEACHINGS FOUND IN THE BIBLE. 07:13 I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLE AND TURN OVER HERE TO 07:15 ISAIAH 8:19-20. 07:18 BOOK OF ISAIAH 8:19-20. 07:24 ISAIAH 8:19-20. 07:30 HAVE YOU GOT THE TEXT? 07:31 ISAIAH 8:19-20. 07:35 THE BIBLE SAYS, "WHEN MEN TELL YOU TO CONSULT MEDIUMS 07:40 AND SPIRITISTS," DOES THAT-- HEY, BEFORE WE GO ON, 07:44 CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? 07:45 DOES THAT HAPPEN IN AMERICA? 07:48 HAVE YOU SEEN IT? 07:50 YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE SEANCE CHAMBER, 07:53 WHERE DO YOU SEE IT? 07:55 BY, BLESS YOUR HEARTS, YOU SEE IT ON TELEVISION. 07:58 YOU SEE SOME GUY AND HE SAYS, "I CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT YOUR DEAD 08:04 LOVED ONES BECAUSE I'M GOING TO INVITE THEIR SPIRITS HERE 08:07 TODAY." 08:09 AND YOU GOT FOLKS SITTING THERE WITH THEIR MOUTHS THIS WIDE 08:13 BECAUSE HE'S GIVING THEM INFORMATION THAT HE--THAT 08:16 YOU COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE. 08:19 AND SO PEOPLE GO ALONG TO THE SEANCE CHAMBER AND PEOPLE WATCH 08:24 THIS STUFF ON TELEVISION BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT 08:27 THE DEAD ARE NOT DEAD, THAT THE DEAD ARE REALLY ALIVE. 08:30 SO LOOK AT THIS TEXT. 08:33 "WHEN MEN TELL YOU TO CONSULT MEDIUMS AND SPIRITISTS, WHO 08:38 WHISPER AND MUTTER, SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE INQUIRE OF THEIR GOD?" 08:44 THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 08:46 "WHY CONSULT THE DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING? 08:51 TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY! 08:54 IF THEY DO NOT SPEAK ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, THEY HAVE 08:57 NO LIGHT OF DAWN." 09:00 SO, I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLE. 09:05 YOU GOT YOUR BIBLE? 09:06 I WANT YOU TO HOLD IT UP, JUST LIKE THIS. 09:10 I WANT YOU TO SAY THESE WORDS. 09:12 YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING? 09:14 THIS IS MY BIBLE. 09:16 >> THIS IS MY BIBLE. 09:17 >> THIS IS GOD'S WORD. 09:19 >> THIS IS GOD'S WORD. 09:20 >> GOD HAS A MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY. 09:24 >> GOD HAS A MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY. 09:26 >> HIS WORD WILL GIVE ME EVERLASTING LIFE. 09:30 >> HIS WORD WILL GIVE ME EVERLASTING LIFE. 09:32 >> AND MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON. 09:35 >> AND MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON. 09:37 >> I NOW OPEN MY HEART. 09:38 >> I NOW OPEN MY HEART. 09:40 >> TO RECEIVE GOD'S WORD. 09:41 >> TO RECEIVE GOD'S WORD. 09:42 >> SO THIS IS THE AUTHORITY. 09:46 NOW, I CAN PROMISE YOU ONE THING. 09:50 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WRITE TO ME AFTER THIS TELECAST 09:53 AND THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, "WE DON'T BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAID." 09:57 IN FACT, I DON'T WANT THEM TO BELIEVE A WORD I'M GOING 10:00 TO SAY TODAY. 10:01 I WANT THEM TO BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD. 10:05 AND SO THE BIBLE IS OUR AUTHORITY, NOT THE CHURCH. 10:09 WHY IS THE CHURCH NOT OUR AUTHORITY? 10:14 WHY IS THE CHURCH--COME ON. 10:17 WHY IS THE CHURCH NOT OUR AUTHORITY? 10:20 BECAUSE THE CHURCH MAKES MISTAKES. 10:24 AND THE CHURCH--I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. 10:27 THE CHURCH HAS CHANGED ITS MIND ON THINGS OVER AND OVER 10:31 AND OVER AGAIN. 10:34 SO THE CHURCH IS NOT MY AUTHORITY, NEITHER THE POPE. 10:39 NOW IS THAT BEING DEROGATORY OF THE POPE? 10:43 NO. 10:45 I THINK THE POPE IS A SINNER WHO NEEDS THE GRACE OF GOD 10:50 THE SAME AS I DO. 10:53 I BELIEVE HE'S A POOR, FALLEN SINNER AND I BELIEVE HE'S 10:59 AS FALLIBLE AS ANY OTHER SINNER ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH. 11:05 AND THAT'S NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE POPE, 11:07 IT'S JUST TELLING YOU THE TRUTH. 11:09 SO THE POPE IS NOT MY AUTHORITY, THE CHURCH IS NOT MY AUTHORITY, 11:14 AND SOME MINISTER IS NOT MY AUTHORITY. 11:19 YOU KNOW WHY? 11:21 BECAUSE MINISTERS, LIKE THE POPE, ARE SINNERS STANDING 11:28 IN NEED OF THE GRACE OF GOD. 11:30 AND JUST BECAUSE A GUY IS AT THE FRONT AND TELLING YOU LOTS 11:34 OF FUNNY STORIES, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE'S INFALLIBLE. 11:38 NOW I KNOW TODAY THAT BIBLE PREACHING, ESPECIALLY IN 11:41 AMERICA, IS NOT VERY POPULAR. 11:45 DID YOU KNOW THAT? 11:46 SOMEBODY CAME TO US, DID I TELL YOU THIS LAST WEEK? 11:49 AND SAID, "HEY, I'VE JUST FOUND A GREAT NEW CHURCH." 11:52 "WHY IS IT GREAT?" 11:53 "OH, THE PASTOR'S A COMEDIAN. 11:57 HE HAS THE CONGREGATION ROLLING IN THE AISLES. 12:00 HE'S A FUNNY MAN." 12:04 I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE WILL BE LAUGHING, I WONDER IF HE'LL BE 12:08 LAUGHING WHEN WE GET A TSUNAMI AND AN 8.9 ON THE RICHTER SCALE. 12:14 YOU KNOW WHY A MINISTER IS PAID OUT OF THE TITHE? 12:18 HE IS PAID TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT TO PREACH HIMSELF. 12:25 SO, NOT THE PRIEST AND NOT THE RABBI. 12:32 WHY IS THE RABBI NOT THE AUTHORITY? 12:34 BECAUSE THE RABBI IS A SINNER STANDING IN NEED OF THE GRACE 12:38 OF GOD AND IN NEED OF CHRIST. 12:43 AND SO THIS BRINGS ME BACK, THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD. 12:46 NOW YOU SAY TO ME, "BUT, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. 12:50 I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE, LAY PEOPLE, 12:52 ARE TOO DUMB." 12:55 HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? 12:57 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THIS STUFF. 13:01 I TAKE IT AS AN INSULT FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD. 13:04 THEY TALK ABOUT, "WELL, WE'RE THE CLERGY 13:07 AND THEY'RE THE LAITY. 13:10 THEY PAY AND WE PRAY." 13:14 THAT IS A ROMAN CATHOLIC DISTINCTION, IT IS NOT TAUGHT 13:18 IN THE BIBLE. 13:20 THE BIBLE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT A CLERGY AND A LAITY OR 13:26 TWO CLASSES IN THE CHURCH. 13:27 WELL, IT DOES KNOW ABOUT TWO CLASSES IN THE CHURCH, 13:31 THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS. 13:35 BUT IN THE BIBLE, THE WORD FOR LAITY, THAT IS TRANSLATED 13:39 LAITY, IS SIMPLY THE WORD THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE. 13:44 AND IN THAT SENSE, I'M A PART OF THE LAITY, I AM A PART OF 13:48 THE PEOPLE OF GOD AND YOU ARE A PART OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD. 13:52 AND IF YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST AND IF YOU LET THE SPIRIT 13:56 OF GOD COME INTO YOUR LIFE, THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND 14:00 THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD SPEAKS TO EVERY PERSON. 14:03 HOW SAD IT IS THAT PEOPLE 14:09 CLOSE THEIR HEARTS AND THEIR MINDS TO THE WORD OF GOD. 14:15 WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW, TODAY, AN OLD TRIED AND TRUE FORMAT. 14:22 THEY DID THIS BACK IN THE DAYS OF SOCRATES AND PLATO. 14:27 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 14:29 WE'RE GOING TO ASK A NUMBER OF PERTINENT QUESTIONS 14:33 AND THEN WE'LL GO TO THE BIBLE FOR THE ANSWERS. 14:35 THE FIRST QUESTION IS, DOES MAN HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL? 14:39 AS VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY TELLS ME, HE DOES. 14:42 COME OVER HERE TO 1 TIMOTHY 6:14-16. 14:45 1 TIMOTHY 6:14 AND ONWARDS. 14:54 1 TIMOTHY 6:14 AND ONWARDS. 15:02 PAUL SAYS, LOOKING FOR THE TEXT, VERSE 14, "TO KEEP THIS COMMAND 15:06 WITHOUT SPOT OR BLAME UNTIL THE APPEARING OF OUR LORD 15:10 JESUS CHRIST, WHICH GOD WILL BRING ABOUT IN HIS OWN TIME." 15:14 JESUS IS GOING TO COME IN GOD'S GOOD TIME. 15:17 "GOD, THE BLESSED AND ONLY RULER, THE KING OF KINGS 15:21 AND LORD OF LORDS, WHO ALONE," SAY IT WITH ME PLEASE, "WHO," 15:25 COME ON, "WHO ALONE IS IMMORTAL, WHO ALONE IS IMMORTAL, AND WHO 15:30 LIVES IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT, WHOM NO MAN HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE. 15:34 TO HIM BE HONOR AND MIGHT FOREVER. 15:37 AMEN." 15:38 THE BIBLE SAYS, "GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL." 15:43 BETTER PUT THAT UP ON THE BLACKBOARD. 15:45 HERE IT IS. 15:46 THE BIBLE SAYS GOD-- WHAT DOES IT SAY? 15:50 YEAH, THAT MEANS HE'S THE ONLY ONE. 15:53 GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL. 15:57 WELL, BLESS YOUR HEART. 15:59 IF I HAD AN IMMORTAL SOUL, THAT TEXT WOULD BE WRONG. 16:06 HOW CAN IT BE SAID THAT I'VE GOT SOMEHOW INSIDE ME AN IMMORTAL 16:11 SOUL AND IT CAN'T DIE? 16:16 THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL IS BELIEVED BY 16:22 EVERY RELIGION IN THE WORLD. 16:29 IT WAS BELIEVED BY THE BABYLONIANS, THE PERSIANS, 16:34 THE GREEKS, THE ROMANS, THE EGYPTIANS, THEIR CULTURE 16:40 WAS BASED UPON THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. 16:45 WHEN SOCRATES IS ABOUT TO DRINK THE FATAL HEMLOCK, HE SAYS TO 16:51 HIS DISCIPLES, "HEY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME BECAUSE 16:56 MY BODY IS A SHELL BUT MY SOUL LIVES ON FOREVER." 17:03 SO THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL 17:06 IS BELIEVED BY EVERY RELIGION IN THE WORLD WITH ONE NOTABLE 17:11 EXCEPTION, THE RELIGION OF THE BIBLE. 17:15 BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, "GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL." 17:19 AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT MAN IS MORTAL. 17:23 COME OVER HERE TO JOB 4:17. 17:26 THIS IS, I BELIEVE, THE OLDEST BOOK IN THE BIBLE. 17:31 JOB, JUST BEFORE THE BOOK OF PSALMS, JOB 4:17. 17:39 THE BIBLE SAYS, "'CAN A MORTAL BE MORE RIGHTEOUS THAN GOD? 17:45 CAN A MAN BE MORE PURE THAN HIS MAKER?" 17:50 MORTAL MAN. 17:51 THE BIBLE SAYS, "MAN IS MORTAL, GOD ALONE HAS IMMORTALITY." 17:58 SO, START THINKING ABOUT THIS. 18:02 IF THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY 18:04 OF THE SOUL SOMEHOW IS A GREAT DECEPTION, IF THAT IS 18:10 SO, THEN WHERE ARE THE BELOVED DEAD BECAUSE THE IDEA THAT 18:18 THE DEAD ARE IN HEAVEN IS BASED ON THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL? 18:23 WHEN WILL GOD'S PEOPLE BECOME IMMORTAL? 18:27 WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE TO 1 CORINTHIANS 15. 18:29 BECAUSE ONE DAY THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE 18:32 IMMORTALITY, THEY'LL NEVER, NEVER DIE AGAIN. 18:35 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 AND ONWARDS. 18:42 1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 AND ONWARDS. 18:47 THE WORDS OF PAUL. 18:48 NOTICE THAT IN THE BIBLE, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THE RUSTLE 18:51 OF THE PAGES. 18:53 "LISTEN, I TELL YOU A MYSTERY: WE WILL NOT ALL SLEEP," 18:57 THAT MEANS WE WON'T ALL DIE, "BUT WE WILL ALL BE CHANGED-- 19:01 IN A FLASH, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET. 19:07 FOR THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND, THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED 19:10 IMPERISHABLE, AND WE WILL BE CHANGED. 19:14 FOR THE PERISHABLE MUST CLOTHE ITSELF WITH THE IMPERISHABLE, 19:18 AND THE MORTAL WITH IMMORTALITY." 19:22 SO, WE'RE MORTAL NOW BUT ONE DAY WE'RE GOING TO GET IT, 19:25 IMMORTALITY. 19:27 "WHEN THE PERISHABLE HAS BEEN CLOTHED WITH THE IMPERISHABLE, 19:31 AND THE MORTAL WITH IMMORTALITY, THEN THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN 19:36 WILL COME TRUE: 'DEATH HAS BEEN SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.'" 19:42 WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN? 19:45 THINK ABOUT IT. 19:46 WE'RE TOLD THAT JESUS IS GOING TO COME BACK. 19:51 THERE'S GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS RESURRECTION AND PEOPLE WHO DIED 20:00 WITH MORTALITY ARE GOING TO BE CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY. 20:06 THAT MEANS THEY WILL NEVER, EVER DIE AGAIN, WHEN JESUS COMES. 20:15 AND THAT IS WHY I TELL YOU, MY FRIENDS, THAT THE HOPE 20:19 OF THE CHURCH, THE HOPE OF THE BELIEVER IS NOT DEATH, 20:25 IT IS THE COMING OF CHRIST. 20:29 NOW, I'M AN ADVENTIST. 20:32 WHAT DOES THIS WORD MEAN, ADVENTIST? 20:35 I BELIEVE IN THE ADVENT. 20:37 I BELIEVE IN THE COMING OF THE LORD 20:41 BECAUSE WHEN THE LORD COMES IN GLORY, HIS CHILDREN ARE GOING 20:48 TO BE CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY AND THEY WILL NEVER, NEVER, 20:53 NEVER DIE AGAIN. 20:55 HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE GOD. 20:59 IN THAT DAY, THE APOSTLE PAUL IS GOING TO WAKE UP 21:06 AND JOHN AND JAMES AND PETER AND THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY. 21:14 SHE'S GOING TO GET IMMORTALITY. 21:16 YOU SAY, "BUT THIS IS A TERRIBLE HERESY. 21:19 WE PRAY TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY." 21:22 MY FRIEND, THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, 21:29 WHEN JESUS RETURNS, WILL BE CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY. 21:36 JESUS IS GOING TO COME AND THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES 21:41 TELL US THAT THE CHARIOT WHEELS HAVE LEFT. 21:49 SOON HE'LL BE HERE. 21:53 WHEN HE COMES, THERE IS GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS RESURRECTION AND 21:59 THE PEOPLE OF GOD WILL BECOME IMMORTAL, THE LIVING PEOPLE OF 22:04 GOD ARE GOING TO BE TRANSLATED. 22:06 THIS LEADS TO ANOTHER QUESTION, WHAT ON EARTH IS THE SOUL? 22:10 COME OVER HERE TO GENESIS 2:7. 22:13 GENESIS 2:7. 22:17 GENESIS 2:7. 22:20 THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE LORD GOD FORMED THE MAN FROM THE DUST 22:25 OF THE GROUND," DOESN'T TEACH EVOLUTION HERE, DOES IT? 22:29 "THE LORD GOD FORMED THE MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND, 22:33 BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE, 22:37 MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING." 22:39 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD BEING IS? 22:42 IN THE HEBREW, THAT WORD IS SOUL. 22:45 THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN 22:48 OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND." 22:51 WE'RE SIMPLY MADE OF DUST. 22:54 THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE LORD GOD BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS 22:58 THE BREATH OF LIFE AND MAN," THE BIBLE SAYS, "BECAME A LIVING 23:09 BEING," OR, "A LIVING SOUL." 23:13 IF MY MEMORY IS NOT-- IF IT'S WORKING TODAY, 23:17 THE HEBREW IS NEPHESH KAYA. 23:20 HAS A NICE RING TO IT. 23:23 MAN BECAME A NEPHESH KAYA, A LIVING SOUL. 23:28 I AM MADE OF DUST PLUS BREATH. 23:30 I AM A LIVING SOUL. 23:33 YOU ARE A SOUL. 23:35 THE WORD SOUL SOMETIMES REFERS EVEN TO THE EMOTIONS 23:44 AND THE SPIRIT OF LIFE THAT IS INSIDE A PERSON, BUT IT NEVER 23:49 REFERS TO AN IMMORTAL THING THAT LIVES INSIDE A PERSON. 23:57 IT IS MORE CORRECT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE A SOUL THAN TO SAY 24:02 THAT YOU HAVE A SOUL. 24:06 CAN THE SOUL DIE? 24:10 COME OVER HERE TO EZEKIEL 18:4. 24:13 EZEKIEL 18:4. 24:20 "FOR EVERY LIVING SOUL BELONGS TO ME, THE FATHER 24:25 AS WELL AS THE SON-- BOTH ALIKE BELONG TO ME. 24:29 THE SOUL WHO SINS IS THE ONE WHO WILL DIE." 24:34 WRITE THAT DOWN IN YOUR HEART, THE SOUL CAN DIE. 24:42 THEN WHY IS IT, MY FRIEND, THAT MORE THAN A BILLION OF THOSE 24:49 WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BELIEVE IN 24:54 THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL? 24:56 WHY IS IT THAT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MY PROTESTANT 25:01 FRIENDS BELIEVE IN THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL? 25:05 THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE SOUL SHALL DIE." 25:12 THEREFORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE THE BIBLE 25:18 DOES NOT TEACH IT. 25:19 THEN WHERE DID THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY OF 25:23 THE SOUL COME FROM? 25:25 WOULD YOU COME OVER HERE TO GENESIS 3:1-5. 25:30 GENESIS 3:1-5. 25:37 GENESIS 3, "NOW THE SERPENT," THAT'S THE DEVIL, "WAS MORE 25:41 CRAFTY THAN ANY OF THE WILD ANIMALS THE LORD GOD HAD MADE. 25:45 HE SAID TO THE WOMAN, 'DID GOD REALLY SAY, YOU MUST NOT EAT 25:49 FROM ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN?' THE WOMAN SAID TO THE SERPENT, 25:53 'WE MAY EAT FRUIT FROM THE TREES IN THE GARDEN, BUT GOD DID SAY, 25:56 YOU MUST NOT EAT FRUIT FROM THE TREE THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE 26:00 OF THE GARDEN, AND YOU MUST NOT TOUCH IT, OR YOU WILL DIE.'" 26:05 LOOK AT ME. 26:08 GOD SAID, "IF YOU BREAK THE LAW OF LIBERTY, THE LAW OF LIFE, 26:17 IF YOU SIN," GOD SAID, "YOU WILL DIE." 26:26 PLAIN AND SIMPLE, GOD SAID, "IF YOU SIN, YOU WILL DIE." 26:31 NOTICE THE NEXT VERSE, VERSE 4, "'YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE,' 26:41 THE SERPENT SAID TO THE WOMAN," YOU WILL NOT DIE BECAUSE 26:48 YOU'VE GOT AN IMMORTAL SOUL. 26:51 "BUT GOD KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU EAT OF IT, YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED, 26:56 AND YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL." 27:00 I WOULD HAVE YOU BE AWARE TODAY THAT THE DOCTRINE OF 27:05 THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL IS THE DEVIL'S LIE BECAUSE IT 27:18 PREPARES THE SOUL FOR SPIRITISM. 27:23 GOD SAID YOU'LL DIE, DEVIL SAID YOU WON'T. 27:27 WHO YOU GOING TO BELIEVE? 27:30 THIS, OF COURSE, GAVE RISE TO THE DOCTRINE OF THE ETERNAL 27:35 TORMENT OF THE DAMNED, THAT GOD IS THE TORTURER IN CHIEF, 27:44 THAT HE WAS A BILLION TIMES WORSE THAN HIS CREATURES 27:47 WHO INVENTED AND PRACTICED WATER BOARDING. 27:52 GOD IS THE TORTURER IN CHIEF AND HE MUST BE, BECAUSE HE MADE 28:01 MAN WITH AN IMMORTAL SOUL AND EVEN GOD CAN'T KILL HIM. 28:08 AND THEREFORE, HE BURNS HIM-- HAVE YOU EVER PUT 28:13 YOUR FINGER IN THE FIRE FOR A MINUTE, HAVE YOU? 28:15 HAVE YOU BURNT YOUR FINGER FOR A SECOND ON THE STOVE? 28:19 WHICH OF YOU WOULD HAVE THE COURAGE TO PUT HIS FINGER ON 28:24 THE TOP OF A BLAZING CANDLE FOR A MINUTE 28:29 AND SMELL THE COOKING FLESH? 28:29 THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIEVE THAT 28:37 MONSTROUS LIE, THINK ABOUT IT. 28:40 THAT A PERSON IS BURNING, HIS WHOLE BODY IS BURNING FOR 28:46 AN HOUR A DAY, A WEEK, A MONTH, AND THERE IS NO END TO IT. 28:52 AND AS ONE THEOLOGIAN SAID, "THE SUFFERING OF THE DAMNED 29:01 WILL BRING GREAT JOY TO THE REDEEMED," BECAUSE THEY'LL 29:05 BE ABLE TO LOOK OVER AND SEE THEIR--EVEN THEIR LOVED ONES, 29:11 SCREAMING IN THE FIRE OF HELL AND THEY'LL SAY, 29:15 "HALLELUJAH." 29:18 NO WONDER ONE GREAT ATHEIST, I THINK HIS NAME WAS INGERSOLL, 29:22 A SKEPTIC SAID, "IF THAT IS GOD, THEN I HATE HIM." 29:30 AND THIS, MONSTROUS DOCTRINE IS BASED ON THE DEVIL'S LIE 29:38 THAT WAS BELIEVED BY ALL THE GREAT RELIGIONS IN 29:41 THE WORLD, WITH ONE EXCEPTION, THE RELIGION OF THE BIBLE. 29:50 WHERE DO WE GO AT DEATH? 29:51 COME OVER HERE TO THE BOOK OF ACTS 2. 29:55 ACTS 2, AND YOU'LL NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS TRUTH THE DAY 30:01 THE DEVIL COMES CALLING. 30:03 ACTS 2:29, "BROTHERS, I CAN TELL YOU CONFIDENTLY 30:12 THAT THE PATRIARCH DAVID DIED AND WAS BURIED, AND HIS TOMB 30:16 IS HERE TO THIS DAY." 30:17 DAVID IS DEAD AND HE'S BURIED. 30:20 AND PEOPLE SAY, "HALLELUJAH, HE'S IN HEAVEN WITH GOD." 30:24 VERSE 34, "FOR DAVID DID NOT ASCEND TO HEAVEN." 30:29 WELL, YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE EITHER THE GREAT CHURCH AND 30:33 ALL OF THE SMART THEOLOGIANS OR ELSE YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE 30:36 THE WORD OF GOD. 30:38 AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "DAVID DIED AND DAVID IS NOT IN HEAVEN." 30:44 COME OVER HERE, JOHN 11. 30:48 TAKE IT FROM JESUS. 30:50 I BELIEVE AND I LOVE THE WORDS OF JESUS. 30:54 JOHN 11:11-14. 30:58 JOHN 11:11 AND ONWARDS. 31:03 YOU KNOW, WHENEVER JESUS WENT TO A FUNERAL, HE BROKE IT UP, 31:08 AND HE DID IT IN THIS CHAPTER. 31:11 "AFTER HE SAID THIS, HE WENT ON TO TELL THEM, 'OUR FRIEND 31:14 LAZARUS HAS FALLEN ASLEEP,'" LAZARUS DIED, "'BUT I AM 31:19 GOING THERE TO WAKE HIM UP.'" WHY WAKE HIM UP IF HE'S 31:22 IN HEAVEN? 31:23 HE WOULDN'T NEED WAKING UP. 31:27 "'LORD, IF HE SLEEPS,' HIS DISCIPLES REPLIED, 'LORD, IF 31:30 HE SLEEPS HE WILL GET BETTER.' JESUS HAD BEEN SPEAKING OF HIS 31:35 DEATH, BUT HIS DISCIPLES THOUGHT HE MEANT NATURAL SLEEP. 31:39 SO THEN HE TOLD THEM PLAINLY, 'LAZARUS IS DEAD.'" 31:46 AND SO JESUS SAYS, "LAZARUS IS SLEEPING," LAZARUS IS DEAD. 31:50 WHERE ARE THE DEAD? 31:52 THE DEAD ARE SLEEPING. 31:55 NOW MY FRIEND, IF YOU ARE BEING TORTURED IN A WHITE, HOT HELL, 32:00 YOU WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING. 32:03 AND IF YOU WERE STROLLING DOWN THE STREETS OF GLORY, 32:06 YOU WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING. 32:09 PEOPLE SAY, "NO, NO, NO, YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG." 32:11 NO, YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG, AND JESUS HAD IS RIGHT. 32:16 LAZARUS IS SLEEPING. 32:17 LAZARUS IS DEAD. 32:19 YOU SAY, "IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME." 32:21 NEXT WEEK YOU'LL SEE IT DOES WHEN THE DEVIL COMES 32:25 AND KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR. 32:29 UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THIS TRUTH, YOU WILL BE LED ASTRAY 32:36 BY THE POWER OF THE OCCULT. 32:39 AND THAT'S TRUE WITH YOU YOUNG PEOPLE TOO. 32:42 AND HOLLYWOOD IS PROMOTING THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. 32:47 THEY PUT OUT MOVIE AFTER MOVIE ON THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. 32:52 AND IT SHOWS YOU WHO IS BEHIND THEM. 32:55 WHY SUPPORT THE HOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY? 32:59 I ASK YOU. 33:00 I'M AMAZED THAT CHRISTIANS SEEM TO BE SOME OF THE STRONGEST 33:05 PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THIS INDUSTRY OF DECEPTION, FILTH, 33:10 AND EVERY OTHER TYPE OF EVIL. 33:16 AND SO HOLLYWOOD IS SUPPORTING THE DEVIL'S LIE BECAUSE IT MAKES 33:22 ME THINK THE DEVIL HAS MANY REPRESENTATIVES, NOT FAR DOWN 33:26 THE ROAD HERE IN HOLLYWOOD. 33:30 SO JESUS GOES ALONG TO THE FUNERAL. 33:33 JOHN 11. 33:35 WELL, ACTUALLY, THEY'VE HAD THE FUNERAL. 33:37 "JESUS, ONCE MORE DEEPLY MOVED, CAME TO THE TOMB. 33:40 IT WAS A CAVE WITH A STONE LAID ACROSS THE ENTRANCE. 33:43 'TAKE AWAY THE STONE,' HE SAID. 33:45 'BUT LORD,' SAID MARTHA, THE SISTER OF THE DEAD MAN, 'BY 33:47 THIS TIME THERE IS A BAD ODOR, HE'S BEEN THERE FOUR DAYS.'" 33:53 SO THAT SHOWS YOU HE WASN'T PLAYING DEAD. 33:56 "THEN JESUS SAID, 'DID NOT I TELL YOU THAT IF YOU BELIEVED, 33:59 YOU'D SEE THE GLORY OF GOD?' SO THEY TOOK AWAY THE STONE. 34:04 AND JESUS LOOKED UP AND SAID, 'FATHER, I THANK YOU 34:06 THAT YOU HAVE HEARD ME. 34:08 I KNOW THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS HEAR ME, BUT I SAID THIS FOR 34:12 THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE STANDING HERE, SO THAT THEY 34:15 MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT ME.' WHEN HE SAID THIS, JESUS CALLED 34:21 OUT IN A LOUD VOICE, 'LAZARUS, COME OUT!' 34:26 THE DEAD MAN CAME OUT." 34:29 HE DIDN'T COME DOWN, HE DIDN'T COME UP. 34:32 HE CAME OUT. 34:33 "HIS HANDS AND FEET WRAPPED WITH STRIPS OF LINEN, 34:36 AND A CLOTH AROUND HIS FACE. 34:38 JESUS SAID TO THEM, 'TAKE OFF THE GRAVE CLOTHES, LET HIM GO.'" 34:45 SO I ASK YOU, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT? 34:49 NOW I KNOW THIS FOR MANY PEOPLE IS THE MOST EMOTIONAL SUBJECT. 34:57 NO WONDER, MY FRIEND, BECAUSE IT HAS THE POWER OF 35:01 THE DEVIL BEHIND IT. 35:03 IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL. 35:05 HERE'S A MAN, HE'S BEEN DEAD FOR 4 DAYS. 35:12 AND THERE'S AN ODOR. 35:14 JESUS SAID, "TAKE AWAY THE STONE." 35:16 NO, NO, NO, DON'T TAKE AWAY THE STONE. 35:20 AND THEN JESUS SAID, "FATHER, I THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE HEARD ME." 35:26 JESUS WENT TO THE TOMB. 35:28 THERE WAS A MAN INSIDE ALL WRAPPED UP LIKE A MUMMY. 35:32 AND JESUS SAID, "LAZARUS, COME OUT." 35:37 SOME CYNICS SAID IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT, 35:42 "WHY DID JESUS SAY LAZARUS? 35:45 WHY DIDN'T HE JUST SAY, 'COME OUT'?" 35:48 AND ONE OLD CHRISTIAN SAID TO HIM, "IF HE HADN'T SAID LAZARUS, 35:52 EVERY DEAD PERSON WHO'D EVER LIVED WOULD HAVE COME OUT." 35:56 THAT'S WHY. 35:59 DID YOU KNOW DEATH COULD NOT SURVIVE HIS PRESENCE? 36:05 CAME ALONG ONCE AND THERE WAS A WIDOW ABOUT TO BURY 36:09 HER ONLY SON. 36:12 JESUS SAID, "YOUNG MAN, GET UP." 36:14 HE GOT UP. 36:15 HE WAS DEAD. 36:18 THE DAY IS GOING TO COME WHEN JESUS IS GOING TO COME 36:23 BACK IN GLORY AND IN POWER. 36:26 MAY HE HASTEN THE DAY. 36:28 LET ME TELL YOU HIS CHARIOT WHEELS ARE RUMBLING. 36:35 THE SIGNS ARE AROUND THE WORLD. 36:38 FLOODS, TORNADOES, PESTILENCES, TSUNAMIS, EARTHQUAKES, 36:45 AND THE CHURCH SLEEPS ON. 36:49 DISASTERS, TERRORISM, THE MIDDLE EAST IN THE GREATEST 36:55 REVOLT IN ITS HISTORY, AND THE WORLD SLEEPS ON. 37:01 BUT JESUS IS GOING TO COME AND HE IS GOING TO HAVE A PEOPLE, 37:10 HALLELUJAH. 37:12 AND WHEN HE COMES, HE'S GOING TO GO TO GRAVES AND HE'S GOING TO 37:15 SAY, "BILL, MARY, TOM, COME OUT." 37:26 AND HE'S GOING TO SAY, "PAUL, COME OUT. 37:32 JOHN, ST. JOHN, JAMES, MY MOTHER." 37:42 WHAT? 37:43 BUT SHE'S IN HEAVEN. 37:45 NO, SHE'S NOT. 37:46 THAT'S WHAT THE CHURCH TOLD YOU. 37:48 THE GREAT CHURCH TOLD YOU THAT BECAUSE THE CHURCH 37:51 DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL. 37:55 THEY HAVE SWALLOWED THE DEVIL'S LIE. 37:59 WHAT ABOUT YOU? 38:04 WHAT A GREAT GETTING UP MORNING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE. 38:09 I PRAY THAT YOU AND I COME UP IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION 38:12 BECAUSE THE SECOND ONE IS NOT AS PLEASANT. 38:16 IT'S THE RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION. 38:21 AND ONCE YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES IN DEATH, YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN 38:26 THE FREEWAY, YOU ARE A NOMINAL CHRISTIAN, YOU COME TO CHURCH 38:32 BECAUSE IT'S A SOCIAL CLUB, YOU COME TO CHURCH SO YOU CAN MEET 38:36 WITH FRIENDS AND GO OFF AND FILL YOUR TUMMIES. 38:40 AND THAT'S AS FAR AS YOUR RELIGION GOES. 38:42 AND YOU NEVER SERIOUSLY 38:45 STUDY THE BIBLE. 38:46 AND YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND A SEMI-TRAILER 38:51 HITS YOU AND YOU'RE GONE. 38:56 I WON'T PRAY FOR YOU BECAUSE IT'S TOO LATE. 39:03 AND THE NEXT THING YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW WILL BE THE RESURRECTION 39:08 OF THE RIGHTEOUS OR THE RESURRECTION OF THE DAMNED. 39:14 AND IF YOU DIE WITHOUT CHRIST, YOU WILL COME UP IN 39:18 THE RESURRECTION OF THE DAMNED. 39:21 AND YOU'LL SAY, "BUT SURELY THERE'LL BE ANOTHER CHANCE." 39:24 NO, THERE'LL BE NO OTHER CHANCE. 39:24 AND THERE'S A LINE THAT IS 39:31 CROSSED BY REJECTING THE LORD WHERE THE CALL OF HIS SPIRIT 39:35 IS LOST AS YOU TRAVEL ALONG WITH A PLEASURE-MAD THRONG. 39:40 HAVE YOU COUNTED, HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST? 39:45 SO BACK TO THE SECOND COMING. 39:49 WE ASK THIS QUESTION TODAY, WHERE IS MARY? 39:53 SHE'S SLEEPING. 39:55 YOU BETTER PRAY ONLY TO JESUS, MY FRIEND. 39:59 DON'T CONFESS YOUR SINS TO A SAINT BECAUSE HE'S SLEEPING TOO. 40:05 THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY CAN ONLY BE SAVED THROUGH JESUS BECAUSE 40:12 SHE WAS NOT SINLESS, IN SPITE OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMACULATE 40:17 CONCEPTION, WHICH IS SIMPLY A STORY, NOT IN THE BIBLE. 40:23 WHERE IS MARY? 40:25 WHERE IS ST. PETER? 40:26 WHERE IS KING DAVID? 40:27 WHERE ARE OUR DEAD LOVED ONES? 40:29 WHERE ARE THE SAINTS? 40:30 WHERE ARE THE DEAD POPES LIKE JOHN PAUL? 40:35 WHERE ARE THE DEPARTED ENEMIES OF GOD? 40:37 WHERE ARE THE DEAD? 40:42 BOTH GOOD AND BAD ARE SLEEPING, AWAITING THE FIRST 40:48 OR THE SECOND RESURRECTION. 40:52 THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NEVER PRAY TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF PURGATORY 40:56 FOR TWO REASONS. 40:58 THERE'S NO ONE THERE, AND NUMBER TWO, THERE'S NO SUCH PLACE. 41:07 THIS DEVIL'S LIE HAS BEEN USED TO RAISE A LOT OF MONEY. 41:16 LIKE WHEN I WAS A BOY, JUST MARRIED, RUNNING MY 41:21 FIRST MISSION IN A LITTLE TOWN BY THE NAME OF PARKS IN SOUTH 41:28 NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA. 41:32 IN THE OLD LAND, THERE WAS WALES AND THERE WAS A NICE PART OF 41:36 WALES CALLED SOUTH WALES. 41:39 WHEN THE BRITISH CAME AND FOUND AUSTRALIA, THEY SAID, 41:43 "THIS LITTLE PART LOOKS LIKE THE SOUTHERN PART OF WALES," SO 41:49 THEY CALLED IT NEW SOUTH WALES. 41:52 BUT NEW SOUTH WALES IS DIVIDED UP INTO NORTH NEW SOUTH WALES 41:57 AND SOUTH NEW SOUTH WALES. 41:59 DO YOU GET THAT? 42:02 NOW IN SOUTH NEW SOUTH WALES, THERE WAS A LITTLE TOWN 42:06 BY THE NAME OF PARKS. 42:07 EIGHT THOUSAND PEOPLE. 42:10 I TOLD MY DEAR, BELOVED FRIEND, DR. JAMES GILLEY THAT IN 42:15 AUSTRALIA THEY HAVE THIS SAYING. 42:17 "GOD MADE THE COUNTRY, MAN MADE THE CITIES, AND THE DEVIL MADE 42:22 THE SMALL COUNTRY TOWNS," BECAUSE THEY'RE SO TOUGH, 42:27 SO PAROCHIAL, SO BIASED, SO SECTARIAN. 42:31 I RAN A CAMPAIGN THERE AND GOD GREATLY BLESSED IT. 42:37 PEOPLE SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE. 42:39 THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO IT. 42:41 BUT THIS FAMILY CAME SO POOR, DIRT POOR. 42:49 AND THE OLD MAN'S NAME WAS POPS. 42:51 THEY HEARD THESE TRUTHS AND THEY ACCEPTED THESE TRUTHS. 42:55 WHEN HE DIED, THE LOVED ONES CAME AND ASKED ME TO TAKE 42:57 THE FUNERAL. 42:59 HE'D BEEN A ROMAN CATHOLIC. 43:01 AND THE FAMILY CAME ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF--IN THOSE DAYS, 43:07 THEY WERE POUND OF NOTES, NOT DOLLAR BILLS. 43:10 AUSTRALIA HADN'T GONE TO THE DECIMAL SYSTEM. 43:14 THE LOVED ONES CAME TO ME WITH A BUNCH OF POUND NOTES, 43:17 HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POUNDS. 43:18 I WAS A POOR MINISTER, GOODNESS. 43:21 THEY SAID, "THIS IS SO YOU CAN PRAY FOR POPS." 43:27 I SAID, "FIRSTLY, I DON'T ACCEPT MONEY FOR WEDDINGS OR FUNERALS. 43:34 I THINK THAT'S DISHONORABLE. 43:37 AND NUMBER TWO, POPS DOESN'T NEED IT AND HE DOESN'T NEED MY 43:43 PRAYERS BECAUSE POPS IS SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS AND HE'S 43:48 GOING HOME TO GLORY WITH JESUS WHEN JESUS COMES." 43:51 SO I WANT TO SAY TO 43:55 EVERYBODY, WE DON'T PRAY FOR THE DEAD. 43:58 WE DON'T PRAY TO THE DEAD. 44:01 WE PRAY TO GOD. 44:04 NOW WHAT ABOUT THE DYING THIEF? 44:06 YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK UP THE TEXT. 44:07 HERE'S THE DYING THIEF 44:11 DYING ON THE CROSS. 44:13 HE SAYS, "LORD, REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM." 44:20 AND JESUS SAYS, "VERILY, TRULY I SAY TO YOU, TODAY THOU 44:28 SHALT BE WITH ME IN PARADISE." 44:33 I SAY UNTO YOU, COMMA, TODAY YOU'LL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE. 44:40 OR, I SAY TO YOU TODAY, COMMA, YOU'LL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE. 44:46 IT CAN BE TRANSLATED EITHER WAY. 44:49 THIS TEXT DOES NOT TELL US, BUT THERE'S A TEXT IN JOHN 44:53 THAT DOES. 44:56 BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION--I SEE YOU'RE GOING 45:00 TO TURN TO IT EVEN IF I DON'T. 45:02 COME OVER HERE TO JOHN 20:17, JOHN 20:17. 45:11 JOHN 20:17, THIS IS JESUS TALKING TO MARY. 45:18 "JESUS SAID, 'DO NOT HOLD ON TO ME, FOR I HAVE NOT YET ASCENDED 45:21 TO THE FATHER.'" NOW, ON THAT FIRST SUNDAY 45:27 OF THE RESURRECTION, JESUS MET MARY IN THE GARDEN. 45:33 SHE THOUGHT HE WAS THE GARDENER. 45:38 AND THEN JESUS SAID THOSE WORDS, OR THE WORD, MARY, MARIA. 45:48 AND SHE RECOGNIZED HIM. 45:51 AND THEN SHE FELL AT HIS FEET, GRABBED HIM BY THE ANKLES, 45:54 AND HUNG ON TO HIM. 45:56 HE SAID, "DON'T HOLD ON TO ME. 45:57 I HAVEN'T GONE HOME TO GLORY." 46:01 SO JESUS ON THE SUNDAY HAD NOT GONE HOME TO GLORY, AND IF THAT 46:09 WAS SO, NEITHER HAD THE THIEF. 46:14 SO WHAT DID JESUS SAY? 46:16 GET THE PICTURE. 46:17 JESUS IS ON THE CROSS, ONE MAN IS CURSING HIM, THE OTHER MAN 46:22 HAS FOUND SALVATION AT ONE SECOND TO MIDNIGHT. 46:29 AND HE SAYS, "LORD, REMEMBER ME." 46:33 TALK ABOUT GRACE. 46:33 "LORD, REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU 46:38 COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM." 46:41 HE DID FAR MORE THAN MOST OF US CAN DO. 46:46 HE KNEW, HE SAW HE HAD A KINGDOM, AND THEREFORE 46:50 HE WAS A KING. 46:51 HE SAW JESUS AS THE KING. 46:53 AND JESUS TURNED TO HIM AND SAID, "TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO 46:58 YOU, I SAY TO YOU TODAY, I SAY TO YOU NOW AS I'M DYING 47:07 ON THE CROSS, I SAY IT TO YOU TODAY, I AM STILL THE KING. 47:11 YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE." 47:14 JESUS NEVER WENT TO PARADISE THAT DAY, NEITHER DID THE THIEF. 47:20 BUT THERE'S ONE THING THAT IS CERTAIN MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. 47:26 THAT THIEF WILL BE WITH JESUS IN THE KINGDOM WHEN JESUS RETURNS. 47:35 AND THE BEST THING THAT YOU AND I CAN DO, I BELIEVE, 47:41 IS TURN TO CHRIST IN SINCERITY AND IN PENITENCE. 47:50 AS THEY SAY IN AUSTRALIA, DINKY DIE, TRUE BLUE, FAIR 47:56 DINKUM, MY AUSTRALIAN FRIENDS. 48:00 I TURN TO CHRIST AND I SAY, "LORD, REMEMBER ME." 48:07 HE'S GOT A GOOD MEMORY. 48:11 AND IF YOU AND I WILL TURN TO GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS, 48:16 THE SAVIOR WILL CERTAINLY SAY, "TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO YOU 48:24 TODAY, YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE." 48:32 AMEN. 48:33 LET US KNEEL. 48:44 OUR FATHER, WE THANK YOU THERE WAS SALVATION 48:46 FOR THE DYING THIEF. 48:50 WE THANK YOU THERE IS SALVATION FOR LIVING THIEVES AS WELL WHEN 48:55 WE COME TO CHRIST AND WE SAY, "LORD, I'M SO SORRY. 48:59 PLEASE REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM." 49:05 AS WE'RE ON OUR KNEES TODAY IN THIS MAGNIFICENT CHURCH, 49:09 IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY, WE DESIRE TO SEND A MESSAGE HOME TO YOU. 49:16 LORD, HELP US TO BE SHAKEN OUT OF OUR COMPLACENCY. 49:23 HELP US TO SEE THAT THE KING IS COMING. 49:28 HELP US TO REALIZE IT'LL SOON ALL BE OVER. 49:33 AND TODAY WE WANT TO SAY TO YOU TODAY, LORD, REMEMBER US 49:38 WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM. 49:41 AND TODAY, OUR FATHER, WE WOULD HAVE YOU SAY UNTO US, "TRULY, 49:47 TRULY I SAY TO YOU TODAY, YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE." 49:56 THANK YOU, LORD, IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. 50:04 [MUSIC] 50:20 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY THE FLOWERS ♪ ♪ BLOOM AND THEN THEY FADE. ♪ 50:29 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHEN ♪ ♪ THE WINDS WILL CHANGE. ♪ 50:37 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY THE LOVE ♪ ♪ OF MAN IN ME WILL WAX COLD. ♪ 50:48 ♪ BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS. ♪ ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE SUN ♪ 51:01 ♪ WILL SHINE OR WHEN IT HIDES. ♪ ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHEN ♪ 51:09 ♪ THE WAKE WILL SUBSIDE. ♪ ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY IT TAKES ♪ 51:18 ♪ A STORM TO MAKE ME GROW, ♪ ♪ BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS. ♪ 51:31 ♪ AND THOUGH MY HEART MAY ♪ ♪ NEVER KNOW THE REASON FOR ♪ 51:38 ♪ THE PAIN AND MY EYES MAY ♪ ♪ ONLY SEE THE RAIN, ♪ 51:46 ♪ THE ANSWERS WHY MAY NEVER ♪ ♪ COME, BUT HOPE ♪ 51:53 ♪ STILL FLOODS MY SOUL. ♪ ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY, ♪ 51:59 ♪ BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS. ♪ 52:09 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY THE HEAVENS ♪ ♪ OPEN WIDE AND CRY. ♪ 52:17 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY THE WELL, ♪ ♪ OH, IT RUNS DRY. ♪ 52:26 ♪ I DON'T KNOW HOW HE TURNS ♪ ♪ A HEART OF STONE TO GOLD, ♪ 52:36 ♪ BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS. ♪ ♪ AND THOUGH MY HEART MAY ♪ 52:44 ♪ NEVER KNOW THE REASON ♪ ♪ FOR THE PAIN AND MY EYES, ♪ 52:51 ♪ THEY MAY ONLY SEE THE RAIN. ♪ ♪ THE ANSWERS WHY MAY ♪ 52:59 ♪ NEVER COME, BUT HOPE ♪ ♪ STILL FLOODS MY SOUL. ♪ 53:06 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY. ♪ ♪ AND THOUGH MY HEART MAY ♪ 53:14 ♪ NEVER KNOW THE REASON ♪ ♪ FOR THE PAIN AND MY EYES, ♪ 53:21 ♪ THEY MAY ONLY SEE THE RAIN, ♪ ♪ THE ANSWERS WHY ♪ 53:28 ♪ MAY NEVER COME, ♪ ♪ BUT HOPE STILL FLOODS ♪ 53:33 ♪ MY SOUL. ♪ ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY, ♪ 53:40 ♪ BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS. ♪ 53:51 ♪ I DON'T KNOW WHY MESSIAH ♪ ♪ DIED FOR ONE LIKE ME. ♪ 54:00 ♪ I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND ♪ ♪ HIS GRACE. ♪ 54:08 ♪ I'LL NEVER COMPREHEND ♪ ♪ SUCH LOVE IN HIM ALONE, ♪ 54:18 ♪ BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS. ♪♪ 54:32 >> [APPLAUDING] 54:37 >> THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT A PASTOR SHOULDN'T DO. 54:41 HE SHOULDN'T TELL LIES, AND HE SHOULDN'T RETIRE. 54:46 THAT'S WHY I PLAN TO KEEP ON KEEPING ON WHILE GOD 54:50 CAN STILL USE ME. 54:51 WHILE THESE LUNGS ARE WORKING, WHILE THIS MOUTH IS TALKING 54:55 AND WHILE JESUS IS STILL ALIVE AND I'M STILL ALIVE, 54:59 I PLAN TO KEEP ON PREACHING THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL. 55:03 WILL YOU PRAY FOR ME?
