00:14 >>THIS TOPIC, THE DEVIL'S DUNGEON , IS REALLY TALKING 00:18 ABOUT A TIME WHEN SATAN IS BOUND. 00:22 SATAN IS BOUND ON THIS PLANET WITH NOBODY TO TEMPT AND 00:24 MANIPULATE AND HE HAS TO LOOK AT THE CONSEQUENCES 00:28 OF HIS REBELLION FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS. 00:34 >>TONIGHT OUR SUBJECT IS DEALING WITH THE TOPIC OF THE MILLENNIUM 00:41 IN THE BIBLE, SOMETIMES KNOWN AS THE THOUSAND YEARS. 00:44 YOU FIND THIS IN REVELATION 20; IT'S CALLED THE DEVIL'S DUNGEON 00:50 IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLE, I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO TURN WITH ME TO 00:53 REVELATION CHAPTER 20 AND WE'RE GOING TO READ THE FIRST FEW 00:58 VERSES HERE AND IT'LL GIVE US THE FOUNDATION FOR WHAT WE'RE 01:01 GOING TO STUDY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY 01:03 UNDERSTANDS THIS VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT. 01:06 SO IF YOU LOOK THERE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION, CHAPTER 20, VERSE 01:10 1, "THEN I SAW AN ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN, HAVING THE KEY 01:15 TO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT AND A GREAT CHAIN IN HIS HAND. 01:19 HE LAID HOLD OF THE DRAGON, THAT SERPENT OF OLD, WHO IS THE DEVIL 01:22 AND SATAN," - ANY QUESTION ABOUT WHO THE 01:24 DEVIL, SATAN, AND DRAGON ARE? - "AND BOUND HIM FOR" - HOW LONG? 01:29 - "A THOUSAND YEARS; AND HE CAST HIM INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT," - 01:35 WHAT IS THAT? - "AND SHUT HIM UP, AND SET A 01:38 SEAL ON HIM, SO THAT HE SHOULD DECEIVE THE NATIONS NO MORE TILL 01:42 THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED...NOW WHEN THE THOUSAND 01:46 YEARS HAVE EXPIRED, SATAN WILL BE RELEASED FROM HIS PRISON AND 01:49 HE'LL GO OUT TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS THAT ARE IN THE FOUR 01:53 CORNERS OF THE EARTH, GOG AND MAGOG, TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER 01:56 TO BATTLE, WHOSE NUMBER IS AS THE SAND OF THE SEA. 01:58 THEY WENT UP ON THE BREADTH OF THE EARTH AND SURROUNDED THE 02:02 CAMP OF THE SAINTS AND THE BELOVED CITY. 02:04 AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURED THEM. 02:07 THE DEVIL, WHO DECEIVED THEM, WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE 02:11 AND BRIMSTONE WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE. 02:14 AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER." 02:18 ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO PAUSE RIGHT THERE. WITH THAT AS A 02:20 BACKGROUND FOR OUR STUDY, NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO QUESTION 02:23 #1 OF THE LESSON. YOU'VE GOT THE PICTURE AND LET'S LEARN ABOUT 02:26 THIS DUNGEON THAT THE DEVIL IS CONFINED TO. 02:31 QUESTION #1 IN OUR STUDY: WHAT EVENTS MARK THE BEGINNING OF 02:35 THIS ONE THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD? SO HOW DO WE KNOW? 02:37 WHAT'S THE LANDMARKS THAT BEGIN THIS TIME PERIOD? 02:40 YOU FIND IN 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16 IT SAYS, "FOR THE LORD HIMSELF 02:47 SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT," - THE SECOND COMING OF 02:52 JESUS IS WHEN THE LORD DESCENDS AND IT SAYS - "AND THE DEAD IN 02:57 CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST." WHEREVER YOU HEAR ABOUT FIRST, 03:02 SEQUENTIALLY THAT MEANS WHAT? SOMEWHERE THERE'S A - 03:06 >>SECOND. >>A SECOND. 03:08 AND SO IT'S SAYING, 'BLESSED AND HOLY ARE THOSE THAT ARE IN THE 03:10 FIRST RESUR - YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION, FRIENDS. 03:13 THAT'S THE RESURRECTION OF THE SAVED. 03:15 AND THEN YOU READ IN REVELATION 20, VERSES 4 AND 5, "AND THEY 03:19 LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST FOR" - HOW LONG? 03:22 >>A THOUSAND YEARS. >>"A THOUSAND YEARS. 03:24 BUT" - IT TELLS US - "THE REST OF THE DEAD DID NOT LIVE AGAIN 03:29 UNTIL THE THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED. 03:31 THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION." NOW YOU DO NOT FIND THE WORD 03:34 'MILLENNIUM IN THE BIBLE. MILLENNIUM IS A COMPOSITE OF TWO 03:39 LATIN WORDS THAT SIMPLY MEAN 'MILLI' WHICH IS A THOUSAND AND 03:43 'ANNUM' WHICH MEANS YEARS. AND SO THE BEGINNING OF THE ONE 03:47 THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD, IT STARTS WITH WHAT WE CALL THE FIRST 03:51 RESURRECTION AND THE END OF IT IS THE SECOND RESURRECTION. 03:55 THERE ARE TWO COMPLETE SEPARATE DISTINCT RESURRECTIONS. 03:59 I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS, IT KIND OF SURPRISED ME. 04:01 I THOUGHT THERE WAS ONE RESURRECTION AT THE END OF TIME. 04:02 THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR. QUESTION #2: WHAT ELSE WILL 04:07 HAPPEN IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION? 04:09 YOU READ IN 1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 15, VERSES 51 THROUGH 04:13 53, IT SAYS, "WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE 04:18 CHANGED - IN A MOMENT...AT THE LAST TRUMPET. 04:23 FOR THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND AND ALL THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED 04:26 INCORRUPTIBLE AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED. 04:30 FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE" - IT GOES ON TO SAY - "MUST PUT ON 04:33 INCORRUPTION, AND THIS MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY." 04:38 JUST THINK ABOUT THAT. SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVER DIE. 04:43 THERE'S ALREADY A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER DIED - WHO ARE THEY? 04:45 THERE'S TWO. >>ENOCH AND ELIJAH. 04:49 >>ENOCH AND ELIJAH. THE BIBLE SAYS ELIJAH - ENOCH 04:51 WALKED WITH GOD AND GOD TOOK HIM. 04:52 ELIJAH WENT TO HEAVEN IN A FIERY CHARIOT. 04:54 THERE ARE GOING TO BE OTHERS WHO ARE ALIVE WHEN JESUS COMES 04:57 WHO WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE DEATH. SO WHAT HAPPENS? 04:59 WHEN THE LORD COMES DOWN, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GO THROUGH THIS 05:03 MIRACULOUS, COMPLETE, TOTAL REVITALIZATION WHERE WE'RE 05:08 TRANSFORMED AND WE GET THESE GLORIFIED ETERNAL BODIES AND IT 05:12 JUST HAPPENS IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE. 05:15 THAT'S QUICKER THAN A BLINK. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT THIS 05:18 ANSWER - IT'S IN PHILIPPIANS 3, VERSE 21. IT SAYS, "WHO WILL 05:23 CHANGE OUR VILE BODY THAT IT MIGHT BE FASHIONED LIKE UNTO HIS 05:28 GLORIOUS BODY." WHAT KIND OF BODIES DO WE GET? 05:31 DO WE TURN INTO GHOSTS OR DO WE GET GLORIFIED BODIES? 05:35 WHAT WAS JESUS' BODY LIKE WHEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD? 05:38 DID HE TELL THE DISCIPLES TO TOUCH HIM? 05:40 IT WAS A GLORIOUS BODY. 05:42 IT WAS A SUPERNATURAL BODY BUT IT WAS REAL AT THE SAME TIME. 05:45 THEN HE SAID, 'DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT? 05:47 I'M HUNGRY.' TWICE HE ASKED THEM TO FEED HIM. ACTUALLY, ONCE, HE 05:48 DID THE COOKING - WHEN IT WAS BY THE SEASHORE. 05:51 SO HE'S MAKING IT CLEAR - HE SAYS, 'I'M NOT AN ETHEREAL 05:55 GHOST.' YOUR GLORIFIED BODY IS A REAL BODY. 05:58 WHEN GOD MADE ADAM AND EVE, DID THEY HAVE REAL BODIES? 06:01 DID HE INTEND THEM TO LIVE FOREVER? 06:03 DOES THE BIBLE SAY, IN HEAVEN, WE'RE GOING TO PLANT VINEYARDS 06:06 AND EAT THE FRUIT OF THEM AND BUILD HOUSES AND INHABIT THEM? 06:09 AND WE'LL BE DOING REAL THINGS, WE'RE NOT JUST GOING TO BE 06:11 STRUMMING HARPS ON A CLOUD SOMEWHERE. 06:13 SO OUR BODIES WILL BE LIKE JESUS' GLORIFIED BODY. 06:17 AND AGAIN, 2 THESSALONIANS 2, VERSE 8, "THEN SHALL THAT WICKED 06:23 BE REVEALED, WHOM THE LORD SHALL CONSUME...WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF 06:28 HIS COMING." SO WHEN THE LORD COMES, THE DEAD 06:30 IN CHRIST THAT ARE DEAD WILL BE CAUGHT UP. 06:33 THOSE WHO ARE SAVED WILL BE TRANSFORMED AND CAUGHT UP. 06:37 AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE LEFT BEHIND? JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED 06:40 TO THE DEVIL - CONSUMED WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. 06:43 FURTHERMORE, REVELATION 16:18, "...AND THERE WAS A GREAT 06:46 EARTHQUAKE, SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE MEN WERE UPON THE EARTH, 06:50 SO MIGHTY AN EARTHQUAKE, AND SO GREAT." 06:53 THIS IS GOING TO BE A 15 ON THE RICHTER SCALE BECAUSE IT SAYS 06:56 ISLANDS ARE SWALLOWED UP AND THE MOUNTAINS ARE SHAKEN 06:59 OUT OF THEIR FOUNDATIONS. ALRIGHT, AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, 07:03 "AND EVERY ISLAND FLED AWAY, AND THE MOUNTAINS WERE NOT FOUND. 07:08 AND THERE FELL UPON MEN A GREAT" - WHAT? 07:11 - "A GREAT HAIL OUT OF HEAVEN, EVERY STONE ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF 07:15 A TALENT:" - NOW SEE THAT PICTURE, THAT'S SOMEBODY WHO'S 07:19 HOLDING WALNUT-SIDED HAIL. I DID AN AMAZING FACT ONE TIME 07:22 TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE LARGEST HAIL EVER RECORDED. 07:25 IN BANGLADESH THEY HAD SOFTBALL-SIZED HAIL. 07:29 NOW THAT CAN KILL YOU, BUT STILL, THAT'S NOT 75 POUNDS. 07:34 CAN YOU IMAGINE THE WORLD BEING PUMMELED BY THAT KIND OF HAIL? 07:39 NOW, WHEN ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING, WITH THE COMING OF 07:41 JESUS, THIS MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A PERIOD WHERE 07:45 SATAN IS BOUND. 07:46 REVELATION 20, VERSES 1 AND 2, "AND...AN ANGEL...LAID HOLD ON 07:51 THE DRAGON, THAT OLD SERPENT, WHICH IS THE DEVIL, AND SATAN, 07:55 AND BOUND HIM A THOUSAND YEARS." NOW, HOW DO YOU BIND A DEVIL? 08:01 I MEAN, SAMSON, THEY TIED HIM UP WITH ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF 08:04 ROPES AND HE JUST BROKE THE ROPES. YOU WONDER, IS SATAN 08:06 STRONGER THAN SAMSON? HOW DO YOU TIE UP A DEVIL? 08:10 IF WE KNEW HOW, WE'D ALL WANT TO DO IT, WOULDN'T WE? 08:13 SATAN IS NOT BEING BOUND BY ROPES, IT'S THE CHAIN THAT'S 08:17 BEING REFERRED TO - IT SAYS, "THE ANGEL HAD A GREAT CHAIN IN 08:20 HIS HAND." IT'S TALKING ABOUT A CHAIN OF 08:22 CIRCUMSTANCES. NOW, THAT BOTTOMLESS PIT IS A 08:26 VERY INTERESTING WORD AND THIS IS WHAT THROWS PEOPLE. 08:30 IT COMES FROM A GREEK WORD THAT YOU FIND OTHER PLACES 08:32 IN THE BIBLE. 08:34 YOU EVER HEARD THE WORD 'ABYSS'? 08:37 IT COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD 'ABUSSOS'. 08:38 IT SOUNDS SIMILAR, RIGHT? 08:42 THAT WORD 'ABUSSOS', IT MEANS THE DEVIL IS CHAINED WHERE HE 08:46 CANNOT DO ANYTHING. IT'S ISOLATION FOR HIM. 08:49 THE SAME WORD IS USED IN LUKE CHAPTER 8, VERSE 31. 08:54 YOU REMEMBER, THERE'S THIS MAN WHO'S POSSESSED WITH A LEGION OF 08:57 DEMONS AND THE DEMONS SAY TO JESUS, 'DO NOT CAST US OUT INTO 09:02 THE' - SAME EXACT WORD - 'ABUSSOS.' DEMONS AND THE DEVIL 09:07 DO NOT WANT TO BE CAST INTO NOTHINGNESS. 09:09 THE DEVIL WANTS TO POSSESS SOMEBODY. 09:12 HE WILL POSSESS A SERPENT. THE DEVILS IN THIS STORY 09:14 POSSESSED PIGS - WELL, POSSESSED PEOPLE - THEY WANT TO TEMPT. 09:18 THE DEVIL'S A WORKAHOLIC - WITH NOTHING TO DO IT'S TORTURE FOR 09:22 HIM. AND SO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT IS THIS PLANET. 09:26 FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS SATAN IS GOING TO BE BOUND DOWN HERE IN 09:31 DARKNESS, WITH HIS DEMONS, WITH NO HUMANS ALIVE, WHY? 09:37 BECAUSE WHEN JESUS COMES BACK, WHAT DIRECTION DO THE DEAD IN 09:40 CHRIST GO? UP. THE LIVING SAINTS ARE 09:44 TRANSFORMED AND IN WHAT DIRECTION 09:46 DO THEY GO? WE WILL BE CAUGHT UP. 09:48 REMEMBER, JESUS SAID, 'I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. 09:50 I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF THAT WHERE I AM, 09:53 YE MAY BE.' SO WE'RE ALL GOING BACK TO THE MANSIONS 09:55 HE'S PREPARED WHEN HE COMES, RIGHT? 09:58 WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WICKED WHO ARE ALIVE WHEN HE COMES? 10:01 THE DEVIL AND ALL - THE DEVIL'S GOING TO RUN FROM HIS PRESENCE. 10:05 ALL THE WICKED ARE DESTROYED BY THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. 10:07 HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ALIVE ON THE PLANET AT THAT POINT? 10:10 >>ZERO. >>NOBODY. 10:12 WHO DOES THE DEVIL HAVE TO TEMPT, HIM AND HIS DEMONS? 10:14 THEY'RE GOING TO BE CHAINED ON THIS DARK PLANET. 10:17 QUESTION #3: IN WHAT CONDITION WILL THE EARTH BE LEFT AFTER 10:23 THIS DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE AND HAILSTORM THAT BEGIN THE ONE 10:26 THOUSAND YEARS? LET'S LET THE BIBLE EXPLAIN ITSELF. 10:31 ISAIAH 24, VERSE 19, "THE LORD MAKETH THE EARTH EMPTY, 10:40 AND MAKETH IT WASTE, AND TURNETH IT UPSIDE DOWN." 10:45 THE EARTH IS UTTERLY BROKEN DOWN. 10:49 HOW MANY PEOPLE ON THE EARTH? IT'S EMPTY. 10:51 READ NOW IN JEREMIAH 4, VERSE 23, "I BEHELD THE EARTH, AND, 10:56 LO, IT WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND - >>VOID. 10:59 >>VOID. NOW, YOU READ THAT YOU MIGHT 11:01 THINK, 'OH, HE'S TALKING ABOUT CREATION.' BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME 11:03 WORDING, BUT IT'S NOT WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. KEEP READING, 11:06 "I BEHELD...AND THE HEAVENS, AND THEY HAD NO LIGHT. 11:09 I BEHELD THE MOUNTAINS, AND, LO, THEY TREMBLED, AND...THERE WAS 11:13 NO MAN, ALL THE BIRDS OF HEAVEN WERE FLED...THE FRUITFUL PLACE 11:19 WAS A WILDERNESS, AND ALL THE CITIES THEREOF WERE BROKEN DOWN 11:26 AT THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND BY HIS FIERCE ANGER." 11:29 WHAT WAS THE CONDITION OF ISRAEL AFTER NEBUCHADNEZZAR CAME 11:32 AND LEFT? DESOLATE - CITIES BROKEN DOWN. 11:35 DIDN'T WE JUST READ THAT? READ JEREMIAH 25, VERSE 33, "AND 11:41 THE SLAIN OF THE LORD SHALL BE AT THAT DAY FROM ONE END OF THE 11:48 EARTH EVEN UNTO THE OTHER END OF THE EARTH:" - IS THAT CLEAR? 11:52 - "THEY SHALL NOT BE LAMENTED, NEITHER GATHERED, NOR BURIED;" 11:58 WHY IS THERE NOBODY TO GATHER THEM OR TO BURY THEM? 12:02 BECAUSE THERE'S NOBODY ALIVE. 12:05 MALE ANNOUNCER: DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S LIFE-CHANGING 12:07 FREE RESOURCE. 12:08 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, 12:11 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER 12:13 OR MOBILE DEVICE. 12:15 TO GET YOUR COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, 12:17 SIMPLY CALL US AND ASK FOR THE OFFER NUMBER SHOWN ON YOUR 12:20 SCREEN, OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS AND DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY 12:24 AND BE SURE TO SELECT A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION 12:27 ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 12:28 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD 12:31 WITH "AMAZING FACTS" WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT, 12:34 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 12:39 >> MANY DEAR CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT THE SECRET RAPTURE 12:45 TAKES PLACE SEVEN YEARS BEFORE JESUS 12:48 ACTUALLY TOUCHES THE EARTH. 12:50 THEY GO BACK TO HEAVEN. 12:52 GREAT TRIBULATION - PEOPLE STILL ALIVE ON EARTH DURING THE 12:55 TRIBULATION - THEN AT THE END OF THAT TIME JESUS COMES DOWN AND 12:57 THE MILLENNIAL REIGN IS HERE ON EARTH AND THEN AT THE END OF 13:01 THAT MILLENNIAL REIGN, THE WICKED ARE SLAIN AND WE JUST 13:04 OCCUPY THE EARTH. IN THAT SCENARIO, WHERE IS THE 13:07 EARTH COMPLETELY VACATED FROM ALL LIFE? 13:12 IT DOESN'T FIT. IT NEVER HAPPENS. 13:15 IT DOESN'T FIT THE SCHEME IN THE BIBLE OF WHAT IT'S DESCRIBING. 13:18 AND SO THIS IS WHAT PROTESTANTS USED TO BELIEVE FOR ABOUT 1,500 13:22 YEARS, AND IT'S GETTING ECLIPSED BY HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTIONS NOW. 13:27 IT TELLS US THAT THE SLAIN OF THE LORD COVER THE EARTH. 13:29 THERE IS NO MAN. I TURNED THE EARTH UPSIDE DOWN - 13:31 IT'S UTTERLY EMPTY - THE CITIES ARE ALL BROKEN DOWN. 13:33 THEY'VE ALL FLED FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD BY HIS 13:35 FIERCE ANGER. THERE'S NO ONE TO LAMENT OR TO BURY THEM OR MOURN. 13:39 THEY'RE ALL GONE. BUT WE'RE LIVING AND REIGNING WITH CHRIST. 13:42 SATAN IS BOUND ON THIS PLANET. YOU KNOW, IN THE GREEK OLD 13:48 TESTAMENT - IT'S THE SAME OLD TESTAMENT AS HEBREW EXCEPT IT'S 13:51 IN GREEK - CALLED THE SEPTUAGINT. 13:53 WHEN IT SAYS THE EARTH IS VOID, IT USES THE WORD 'ABUSSOS'. 13:59 IT CALLS THIS PLANET THE SAME THING AND THAT VERSE IN JEREMIAH 14:04 USES THE WORD 'ABUSSOS' - THE EARTH WAS AN ABYSS. 14:07 SATAN IS BOUND ON THIS PLANET WITH NOBODY TO TEMPT AND 14:09 MANIPULATE AND HE HAS TO LOOK AT THE CONSEQUENCES 14:13 OF HIS REBELLION FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS. 14:16 THAT'S A LONG PRISON SENTENCE. 14:20 ALRIGHT, QUESTION #4: WHERE WILL THE SAINTS BE DURING THE ONE 14:23 THOUSAND YEARS AND WHAT WILL THEY BE DOING? 14:26 ALRIGHT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO JUMP TO HEAVEN. 14:27 IT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTIER PICTURE. 14:29 JOHN 14, VERSE 3, JESUS SAID, "I WILL COME AGAIN AND RECEIVE YOU 14:35 TO MYSELF; THAT WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO." 14:42 REVELATION 20, VERSE 4 - WHAT ARE WE DOING IN HEAVEN 14:45 WHEN IT SAYS WE LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST? 14:47 IT TELLS US IN THE BIBLE. 14:48 "I SAW THRONES AND THEY SAT UPON THEM AND JUDGEMENT WAS GIVEN 14:53 UNTO THEM AND THEY LIVED AND THEY REIGNED WITH CHRIST A 14:56 THOUSAND YEARS." NOW WHAT DOES JUDGMENT MEAN? 14:59 DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE'RE UP THERE GOING 'INNOCENT. 15:01 GUILTY. INNOCENT. GUILTY.' WHO ARE WE JUDGING? 15:06 KEEP READING, IT TELLS US. 1 CORINTHIANS - THIS IS PAUL - 15:10 CHAPTER 6, VERSE 2, "DO YE NOT KNOW" - AND VERSE 3 - "DO YE NOT 15:15 KNOW THAT THE SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD?" 15:20 YOU KNOW, WE'RE, AS CHRISTIANS, GOING TO BE PERSECUTED 15:22 BY THE WORLD. WE'RE GOING TO BE JUDGED. 15:24 THERE'LL BE A DEATH DECREE ON US - BUT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, JESUS 15:27 IS GOING TO COME AND RESCUE US AND THE TABLES ARE GOING 15:30 TO TURN. THAT MEANS PAUL WILL SOMEDAY BE 15:35 SITTING IN JUDGMENT OF NERO, WHO DECLARED THAT PAUL SHOULD BE 15:39 BEHEADED. WON'T THAT BE INTERESTING? 15:42 SO GOD IS JUST. ALRIGHT, QUESTION #5: WHAT WILL 15:46 HAPPEN AT THE CLOSE OF THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS? SEVERAL THINGS: 15:50 "BEHOLD" - IT SAYS - AND NOW I'M IN ZECHARIAH 14, VERSES 1, 4, 5, 15:55 AND 9 - "BEHOLD, THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH...AND HIS FEET SHALL 16:00 STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WHICH IS BEFORE 16:06 JERUSALEM ON THE EAST, AND" - IT SAYS - "THE MOUNT OF OLIVES 16:10 SHALL CLEAVE IN THE MIDST THEREOF." 16:14 THE NIGHT WE STUDIED THE SECOND COMING - IF ANYBODY COMES ALONG 16:16 AND THEY SAY, 'I'M JESUS' - IF HIS FEET ARE TOUCHING THE 16:20 GROUND, HE'S NOT JESUS, BECAUSE WHEN JESUS' FEET TOUCH THE 16:23 GROUND, HE'S COMING TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND IT'S GOING TO 16:25 SPLIT AND FORM A GREAT VALLEY. NOW WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN? 16:29 REVELATION 21, VERSE 2 - IT'S IN YOUR LESSON - "AND I JOHN SAW 16:34 THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF 16:39 HEAVEN, PREPARED AS A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND." 16:43 THIS IS A GREAT MARRIAGE SUPPER WHERE FINALLY THE END OF THAT 16:46 SEVEN THOUSAND-YEAR PERIOD TAKES PLACE. THIS ALL HAPPENS AT THE 16:50 END OF THAT ONE THOUSAND YEARS - THE NEW JERUSALEM COMES DOWN. 16:54 THAT IS THE GOOD JERUSALEM - CITY OF PEACE. 16:58 ALRIGHT, SO WHEN THAT HAPPENS, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TO NOW FREE 17:02 SATAN FROM HIS PRISON? YOU READ IN REVELATION CHAPTER 17:08 20, VERSE 5 - WE ALREADY TOUCHED ON THIS BUT WE'RE GOING TO READ 17:11 IT AGAIN: "BUT THE REST OF THE DEAD LIVED NOT AGAIN UNTIL THE 17:15 THOUSAND YEARS WERE FINISHED." WHAT DOES THAT IMPLY? 17:18 AFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE FINISHED, WHAT HAPPENS? 17:21 THEY LIVE AGAIN. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WE READ? 17:24 AFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE FINISHED, SATAN IS LOOSED FROM 17:26 HIS PRISON. WHAT IS IT THAT LOOSES SATAN FROM HIS PRISON? 17:30 ALL THE WICKED DEAD WHO HAVE EVER LIVED ARE GOING TO COME 17:34 BACK TO LIFE. HE'S NOW GOT THIS VAST ARMY 17:37 AGAIN THAT'S ALWAYS LISTENED TO HIM BEFORE. 17:40 THEY'RE READY AND ABLE TO LISTEN TO HIM AGAIN. 17:43 SO, WHAT WILL SATAN DO WHEN THE WICKED ARE RAISED? 17:46 REVELATION 20, VERSES 8 AND 9 - IT SAYS HE "SHALL GO OUT TO 17:52 DECEIVE THE NATIONS WHICH ARE IN THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH, 17:56 GOG AND MAGOG, TO GATHER THEM TOGETHER TO BATTLE: THE NUMBER 18:02 OF WHOM IS AS THE SAND OF THE SEA." 18:06 - AND IT GOES ON TO SAY - "AND THEY WENT UP ON THE BREADTH OF 18:09 THE EARTH, AND COMPASSED THE CAMP OF THE SAINTS ABOUT, AND 18:13 THE BELOVED CITY." EZEKIEL TALKS ABOUT GOG AND 18:17 MAGOG COMING AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF GOD. 18:20 GOG AND MAGOG, YOU READ IN GENESIS, THEY ARE SOME OF THE 18:23 ANCESTORS OF THE TRIBES THAT FOUGHT AGAINST ISRAEL. 18:28 THEY REPRESENT THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL. 18:30 GOG - MAGOG MEANS 'FROM THE MATRIX, OR THE CHILDREN OF GOG.' 18:35 GOG WAS A WARLIKE NATION THAT FOUGHT AGAINST ISRAEL; MAGOG 18:39 MEANT 'AND THE CHILDREN OF GOG.' SO - I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, 18:44 IT'S RUSSIA AND CHINA.' AND REVELATION IS NOT TALKING 18:49 ABOUT THOSE KIND OF BATTLES OF NATIONS. 18:51 IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, CHRIST 18:53 AND SATAN, THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM AND THOSE WHO DON'T. 18:56 IN REVELATION IT TALKS ABOUT BABYLON, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, 19:01 AND HER DAUGHTERS. GOG AND MAGOG. 19:05 YOU'VE GOT THE WICKED AND THEIR CHILDREN IT TALKS ABOUT AND 19:07 THAT'S ALL THAT IT'S SAYING. 19:09 IT SAYS, 'THEY COVER THE EARTH LIKE A CLOUD.' CAN YOU IMAGINE 19:13 JUST THE SWARMS OF HUMANITY ALL OVER THE PLANET. 19:17 AND THOSE IN THE CITY - IT'S GOING TO LOOK PRETTY OMINOUS 19:20 FOR US. QUESTION #6: AT THIS CRUCIAL 19:24 MOMENT, WHAT WILL STOP EVERYTHING? 19:28 REVELATION 20, VERSES 11 AND 12, "AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, 19:34 AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT...AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE 19:39 THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR 19:42 WORKS." WHO ARE THE DEAD THAT ARE BEING 19:45 JUDGED AT THIS JUDGMENT? THAT'S THE WICKED. 19:48 THEY'RE DEAD SPIRITUALLY. 19:50 JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU HAVE THE SON YOU HAVE LIFE. 19:51 IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SON, YOU DO NOT HAVE LIFE.' AND SO, 19:54 DURING THAT TIME, WHEN THEY PREPARED TO LAUNCH THIS ASSAULT 19:58 ON THE CITY OF GOD, JESUS IS EXALTED ABOVE THE CITY, THIS 20:02 BATTLE IS PAUSED, THE LORD WILL MAKE EVERY PERSON'S LIFE TO PASS 20:08 BEFORE THEM IN THE HEAVENS, WHERE ALL CAN SEE. 20:11 ABOVE THE NEW JERUSALEM THEY'LL SEE JESUS COMING INTO THE WORLD. 20:15 THEY'LL SEE HIS PERFECT LIFE. THEY'LL SEE THAT HE TAUGHT 20:19 EVERYBODY WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO BE SAVED. 20:21 THEY'LL SEE JESUS' SUFFERINGS AT THE HANDS OF LUCIFER AND THE WAY 20:25 THAT THE DEVIL WAS SO FILLED WITH THIS LOVE FOR POWER AND 20:28 JESUS WAS SO FILLED WITH THE POWER OF LOVE. 20:31 WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? 20:33 AFTER GOD SHOWS THE ISSUES - SHOWS PEOPLE THEIR SINS - SHOWS 20:37 HIS GOODNESS, EVERYONE BOWS DOWN AND THEY SAY, 'JESUS IS LORD.' - 20:42 EVEN THE DEVIL WILL FINALLY BE CONSTRAINED BY THE JUSTICE OF 20:45 GOD TO BOW DOWN AND DECLARE THAT JESUS IS LORD. 20:48 IT'LL BE HARDER FOR HIM THAN ANYONE. 20:50 AND, AT THAT POINT, THE DEVIL JUMPS BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE 20:53 SAID, 'IT'S OUR LAST CHANCE. TAKE THE CITY.' 20:57 THEY COME AGAINST THE CITY OF GOD. IT TELLS US IN REVELATION 21:00 20, VERSE 9, AT THAT POINT GOD HAS NO ALTERNATIVE, DOES HE? 21:05 FIRE COMES DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN AND DEVOURS THEM. 21:09 AGAIN, REVELATION 20, VERSE 15 - AND IT TELLS US "WHOSOEVER WAS 21:14 NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF 21:20 FIRE." AS THAT FIRE RAINS DOWN AROUND 21:22 THE NEW JERUSALEM - THE NEW JERUSALEM'S GOT BIG WALLS, IT'S 21:25 SAFE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S MOLTEN OUTSIDE THE CITY, EVERYONE 21:28 INSIDE IS SAFE. AND ALL THE WICKED ARE GOING TO 21:33 BE PUNISHED ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY DESERVE AND ANYONE NOT 21:36 FOUND IN THE BOOK OF LIFE IS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. 21:40 THE BIBLE SAYS THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH. 21:43 SO, QUICKLY, AND THAT'S, BY THE WAY, REVELATION 20, VERSE 14. 21:46 LET'S REVIEW WHAT HAPPENS NOW - TO MARK OUT THE MILLENNIUM. 21:50 WE'LL JUST PUT A LITTLE CHART UP ON THE SCREEN TO GIVE YOU THE 21:52 QUICK PICTURE OF HOW DO YOU SEPARATE THIS PERIOD OF TIME. 21:56 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS YOU HAVE THE 21:58 FIRST RESURRECTION AND THE SECOND COMING, RIGHT? 22:01 AND THEN, AT THE END, IT'S THE SECOND RESURRECTION 22:04 AND THE HOLY CITY COMES DOWN. DURING THE ONE THOUSAND YEARS, 22:08 THE RIGHTEOUS ARE IN HEAVEN, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BOOKS, 22:10 WE'RE ASKING QUESTIONS, WE'RE JUDGING - SO THAT WHEN THE 22:13 JUDGMENT HAPPENS, WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT SAYING, 'TRUE AND 22:16 RIGHTEOUS ARE HIS JUDGMENTS.' AND THEN, AFTER THE ONE THOUSAND 22:20 YEARS, FIRE COMES DOWN, THERE - IT'S CALLED 'THE EXECUTIVE PART' 22:24 OF THE JUDGEMENT - WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVE THEIR PENALTIES. 22:28 AFTER THE FIRE GOES OUT, WHAT WILL GOD DO FOR HIS PEOPLE AT 22:33 THAT TIME? DO WE CONTINUE TREADING ON ASHES 22:36 OR DOES THE BIBLE SAY - ISAIAH 65:17 - "BEHOLD, I CREATE A NEW 22:43 HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH" WHEREIN DWELLS RIGHTEOUSNESS. 22:48 WE WILL GET TO SEE HIM MAKING THIS NEW HEAVEN AND THIS NEW 22:51 EARTH, AMEN? WON'T THAT BE EXCITING? AND THEN READ ALSO, 22:54 REVELATION 21, VERSE 1, "AND I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A 22:59 NEW EARTH: FOR THE FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH WERE PASSED 23:02 AWAY." AND THE LORD WANTS YOU IN THAT CITY, FRIENDS. 23:06 2 PETER 3, VERSE 13, "BUT WE, ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE, LOOK 23:11 FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, WHEREIN DWELLS RIGHTEOUSNESS." 23:16 BLESSED ARE THE MEEK, THEY WILL INHERIT THE EARTH - WE WILL GET 23:20 TO WATCH JESUS MAKING THE WORLD ALL OVER AGAIN, EVEN MORE 23:24 BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE, BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO GIVE US AN 23:26 UPGRADE. GOD, HIMSELF, WILL DWELL WITH US, AMEN? WHERE WILL 23:30 GOD AND THE RIGHTEOUS FINALLY LIVE? REVELATION 21, VERSE 3, 23:35 "BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, AND HE WILL DWELL 23:42 WITH THEM." GOD IS GOING TO LIVE WITH US. 23:46 INSTEAD OF THIS JUST BEING ANOTHER WORLD, THE LORD IS 23:49 MOVING THE CAPITAL OF THE UNIVERSE TO THIS PLANET AND 23:52 THAT'S WHY WE WILL REIGN WITH CHRIST. 23:54 WON'T THAT BE WONDERFUL, FRIENDS? 23:56 >>AMEN. >>AT THIS POINT, ALL OF THIS IS 23:59 BEHIND US. THE MEEK WILL INHERIT THE EARTH. 24:02 THE QUESTION IS WHERE WILL WE BE? 24:06 THE LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU TO THESE MEETINGS - YOU'RE WATCHING 24:08 NOW - YOU'RE HERE NOW BECAUSE HE WANTS YOU TO ACCEPT HIS GIFT OF 24:12 EVERLASTING LIFE THAT HE'S OFFERING. 24:14 HE HAS A SPECIAL PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE THAT HE CAN ONLY MOBILIZE 24:17 AND ACTIVATE WHEN HE RETURNS AND WHEN YOU SURRENDER 24:22 YOUR LIFE TO HIM. IT BEGINS NOW. 24:24 WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THAT DECISION TONIGHT, FRIENDS? 24:28 YOU CAN HAVE THAT. WE DON'T HAVE TO FEAR ALL THE 24:30 PAIN AND THE DARKNESS IN THIS WORLD IF WE GIVE OUR LIVES TO 24:33 JESUS.
