00:03 by the friends of the Amazing Facts ministry. 00:10 Doug Batchelor: It's the most-read book in the world, 00:12 selling close to 4 billion copies over the past 50 years. 00:16 The Bible is an amazing book unlike any other. 00:20 Although it was written over a period of around 1500 years by 00:24 40 different people on 3 continents, the Bible maintains 00:27 incredible harmony throughout its 66 books. 00:31 A long list of Bible predictions have come to pass that confirm 00:35 the scriptures are divinely inspired, but none are more 00:38 dramatically fulfilled than 125 prophecies about the Messiah 00:43 that were fulfilled to perfection in the life of Jesus. 00:47 Various Old Testament books predict with great precision, 00:50 the place of His birth, His trial, the manner of His 00:52 crucifixion, the timing of His resurrection, and many other 00:56 aspects of His life. 00:57 One thing is for certain: that dozens of prophecies and 01:01 predictions about His life could never have happened by 01:04 chance alone. 01:05 Jesus is the Bible's central figure, but who is He and how is 01:10 your life affected by His? 01:13 Join me now, as we take a closer look at this hero of revelation. 01:21 Doug: Little amazing fact, you know that in 70 BC with the 01:28 slave revolt of Spartacus, you've probably heard that name, 01:32 was once played by Kirk Douglas, there were--when it was put 01:37 down, 6000 insurgents were 01:42 crucified by the Romans. 01:44 If you can imagine that. 01:45 They lined the roads around Rome for miles. 01:49 But then 70 AD with the 2000-- there were 2000 Jews executed by 01:56 the Romans, and that was to discourage the rebellion of 02:00 the Jews. 02:02 The Romans used to crucify thousands of people, and 02:06 crucifixion was the most frightening thing that could 02:08 happen because it sometimes took days for a person to die. 02:13 That's why Pilate was amazed when Jesus seemed to die in 02:19 6 hours. 02:21 You know, Christ was--Jesus was on the cross 6 hours alive, 1 02:27 hour dead resting. 02:29 I'm sorry, friends. 02:31 You know, I think about that and I look at what the Lord's done 02:33 for me and in my life and it just touches my heart, and the 02:38 story of the cross that was once meant by the Romans to strike 02:41 fear into people's hearts, it brings joy now. 02:46 It was a symbol of fear and agony, and now it brings peace, 02:51 and people see the cross and they find--they find comfort. 02:56 And I just hope that you will understand the importance of 03:00 what we're studying tonight. 03:02 Okay, shake it off, Doug. 03:07 It's based on Revelation 14. 03:10 In Revelation 14, you'll see that it says there in chapter 03:13 14, verse 6: "I saw another angel flying in the midst of 03:17 heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who 03:21 dwell on the earth--to every tribe, nation, tongue, 03:26 and people." 03:27 God wants people everywhere to know this message. 03:31 So we're going to get into the questions. 03:33 Question number one: What is the central theme in Revelation 03:36 chapter 14? 03:38 Answer? 03:39 "I saw another angel flying in 03:41 the midst of heaven, having 03:43 the," what? 03:45 "Everlasting gospel." 03:46 Thanks, you did a great job. 03:48 Why is it called the everlasting gospel? 03:50 That phrase is only found here in Revelation. 03:54 You know why? 03:56 'Cause the results of the gospel are everlasting, and the 04:00 gospel has not changed from the very beginning. 04:05 Revelation talks about the gospel, the Lamb that was slain 04:08 from the foundation of the world. 04:10 It goes all the way back. 04:12 We are all saved by grace. 04:15 The second part of this is Revelation 13, verse 8: "All who 04:19 dwell on the earth will worship 04:20 Him, whose names are not written 04:23 in the Book of Life of the Lamb 04:25 slain from the foundation of 04:27 the world." 04:28 This is the Lamb that was slain all the way back at the 04:31 foundation of the world. 04:32 What's that talking about? 04:35 So, Adam and Eve were told, "Do not eat from the 04:38 forbidden fruit." 04:40 And when they ate from the forbidden fruit, what happened 04:42 to them? 04:45 All of a sudden, they felt a cool breeze. 04:48 Because up to that point, you know, all the artists paint Adam 04:51 and Eve as though they're streaking around the garden of 04:53 Eden and they're naked and all the artists, you know, they 04:56 always have to put the leaves of the tree strategically, at least 04:59 if it's the G-rated versions of Adam and Eve, and the rest of 05:03 them, you can tell they have nothing on. 05:05 That's really not the way it was. 05:07 When Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration, He was 05:11 glorified and His garments began to shine. 05:15 Moses came off Mount Sinai, he was shining. 05:19 Adam and Eve holy, living in the presence of God, they shined. 05:23 After they sinned, the light went out and they felt the 05:26 breeze and they knew something was wrong. 05:29 So what did they do? 05:31 They ran from God. 05:33 Don't ever forget, God did not run from us. 05:36 God then told Adam and Eve, your fig leaves that you had sewn 05:39 together, and the Bible says they made skirts, aprons, 05:42 of leaf. 05:44 Not only was it the wrong material, it wasn't 05:45 nearly enough. 05:48 They were basically mini skirts. 05:50 And God, then it says, "He gave them tunics of skin robes." 05:54 Of what? 05:56 Skin. 05:58 Do you think God said, "Let there be skin," or did something 06:02 have to die? 06:04 The sacrificial system was established there in the garden 06:07 of Eden. 06:08 Adam and Eve saw the first death. 06:10 It was a lamb that died to cover their sin and their nakedness. 06:13 God explained to them the plan of salvation about Jesus, there 06:17 at the very beginning. 06:19 And He wanted them to know that He had a plan where they could 06:22 be forgiven, even though what was a penalty for disobeying? 06:25 "And the day you eat thereof, you will surely die." 06:28 That lamb is a symbol of Jesus. 06:31 They all knew that. 06:32 That's why when John the Baptist finally points to Jesus and he 06:35 says, "This is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the 06:38 world," it was the fulfillment of everything they had looked 06:41 for and longed for. 06:42 Question number two: Why do we need the everlasting gospel? 06:47 "The wages or the penalty for sin is," what? 06:51 It's death. 06:52 How come you're not dead? 06:54 How many have sinned? 06:55 The Bible says all have sinned. 06:57 So if you've sinned and the penalty for sin is death, 07:00 why aren't you dead? 07:01 Why are the people out there that don't believe in God 07:03 walking the streets? 07:04 Jesus's death not only provided a way for us to be forgiven and 07:07 have everlasting life, He is the one who bought time for people 07:12 to make a decision. 07:14 Everyone is living under this probationary time. 07:17 It's one life, and the devil is trying to destroy and distract 07:21 people so that they don't think about what really matters in 07:23 life is the one that lasts forever. 07:27 Does that make sense? 07:28 Question number three: Why did Jesus die? 07:33 Well, the answer is pretty clear in the Bible. 07:35 Hebrews 9:22: "According to the law almost all things are 07:40 purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there 07:43 is," what? 07:44 "No remission of sin." 07:47 You can read in 1 Corinthians 15, verse 3: "For I delivered to 07:50 you, first of all, that which I also received, that Christ 07:54 did," what? 07:55 "He died for our sins." 07:59 He did not die for His sins. 08:01 He died for our sins. 08:03 And how many of us have sinned? 08:06 So make it personal. 08:08 He died for you. 08:10 God sent His Son to suffer, not just die. 08:13 He suffered for all the sins you have ever committed or will 08:15 commit and He died for you. 08:17 Why? 08:19 Because He loves us more than we'll ever know. 08:22 Loves us desperately, wants to save us. 08:24 He doesn't want you to be lost any more than any human wants to 08:29 lose their child. 08:30 He loves you infinitely more because any affection you have 08:33 for your children, you ultimately get from 08:35 your Creator. 08:38 God loves you, and the only way He can talk about His love for 08:41 us, it says, "God the Father so loved the world, He gave His Son 08:44 that we might not perish." 08:46 He died for us. 08:47 Why did God make such a fantastic sacrifice for us? 08:51 I just gave you this verse. 08:54 Say it with me. 08:55 "For God so LOVED the world that 08:59 He gave His only begotten Son, 09:02 that whoever believes in Him 09:04 should not perish but have 09:06 everlasting life." 09:08 God so loves us. 09:10 He's pouring out His heart in that word, that He gave His Son. 09:15 Now, what's the most valuable thing that God could give? 09:18 What's the most valuable thing you have? 09:20 Your life? 09:22 Or would you say the life of your child? 09:25 What if your child's the Creator? 09:28 Think about that. 09:30 Everything that you see, all things that were made, were made 09:32 by Him. 09:34 For the Creator to die for the creation, how much bigger can 09:36 you get than that of a sacrifice? 09:40 And He does that to save you and you're going to say, "Well, I'm 09:42 busy, don't bother me"? 09:45 God loves you desperately. 09:47 What do I do to benefit from this incredible sacrifice that 09:51 Jesus has made? 09:52 How does--how do I apply that? 09:55 What does it say? 09:56 You read in Acts 16:31, what's the first word? 10:00 "BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved." 10:03 Believe on the Lord. 10:04 What does that mean, to believe? 10:08 The word "believe" is kind of self-evident. 10:10 It means "be live." 10:12 Whoever "be lives" in Him will not perish. 10:17 It's not the kind of faith where a person says, "Yeah, I believe 10:20 Jesus really lived. 10:21 I read about it in the encyclopedia. 10:23 Since I believe that Jesus really lived, I guess I'm going 10:25 to heaven." 10:26 No, that's the kind of faith the devil has. 10:29 Does the devil know Jesus lived? 10:31 Is that going to save him? 10:32 James says, "Even the devils believe and tremble." 10:35 It's not that kind of faith. 10:36 And yet a lot of churches are preaching this watered-down, 10:39 shallow grace. 10:42 To be live in Him. 10:44 If Jesus tells you something and you believe Him, do you act 10:47 upon it? 10:49 If Jesus tells you something, you say, "I believe, Lord," but 10:52 you don't do it. 10:53 He wants you to follow Him, study His Word, amen? 10:57 Number six: What happens to me when I choose to believe in the 11:02 name of Jesus? 11:05 The Bible says, "If we," what? 11:08 "If we CONFESS our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us 11:12 our sins and to cleanse us from," how much? 11:16 "All unrighteousness." 11:17 Now, who do we confess to? 11:21 Well, if I offend you, I confess to you, and they say confession 11:26 is good for the soul, but it can be bad for the reputation. 11:30 You've got to be careful about making a public confession. 11:34 Of course, if there's a public sin, it might require a public 11:37 confession, but most sins should be confessed personally to God. 11:42 Now, what else goes along with that? 11:44 Acts chapter 3, verse 19. 11:46 What's that word? 11:48 "REPENT therefore, and be converted, that your sins might 11:52 be blotted out." 11:54 Now, what does repentance mean? 11:55 Very simply, in the Hebrew mind, repentance means you're walking 11:58 this way and then you change directions. 12:02 I used to be able to do that in military school, and then you go 12:04 this way, and so repentance is a change of direction. 12:08 It's not just telling God you're sorry, it means being sorry and 12:12 willing to turn away from your sins. 12:16 Some of you, right now, you're thinking, "You know, I am sorry 12:18 but, Doug, I'm addicted. 12:21 I repent but I don't know if I can change." 12:24 Don't worry, right now, about how you will be 12:27 different tomorrow. 12:29 The devil will scare you from making a commitment to the Lord. 12:32 You come just the way you are. 12:34 You make a complete commitment. 12:36 Say, "Lord, I'm sorry. 12:37 Forgive me. 12:39 I repent of my sins. 12:40 Please change my heart. 12:42 Give me victory," and He can, friends. 12:45 Now, you can't think of a sin that God cannot save you from. 12:50 Just briefly, I used to drink, used to smoke, use drugs, curse, 12:57 I was a burglar. 12:58 I'll stop there. 13:01 Living immorally. 13:02 I said, I'd stop, I'll stop there. 13:06 And God helped me change. 13:09 So when people say, "I don't think I can change," don't tell 13:11 me that. 13:13 Yes, you can. 13:15 Unless you think your devil's bigger than your Jesus. 13:18 The Bible says, "Greater is He that is in you than he that is 13:21 in the world." 13:22 Yes, you can. 13:24 Don't underestimate God and it doesn't mean you're going to be 13:27 perfect or you may not make mistakes, but you need to keep 13:29 following on to trust the Lord. 13:33 What is this wonderful conversion experience called? 13:36 Answer? 13:38 It says: "Do not marvel that I say to you, 'You must 13:41 be,'" what? 13:42 "BORN AGAIN." 13:43 The everlasting gospel is about a new life. 13:45 How does a baby grow? 13:48 They receive the nourishment and the love and the regular 13:52 cleansing and the protection from their parents. 13:57 Do they worry? 13:59 But they naturally grow. 14:01 And as you feed on the sincere milk of God's Word, as the Bible 14:05 says, as you read the Bible, as you pray, that's like the breath 14:09 of the soul. 14:10 When a baby stops breathing, you get crib death, you got to 14:13 spend time in prayer. 14:14 And as you wiggle and start practicing and sharing your 14:17 faith, you're going to make a lot of mistakes and you're going 14:19 to learn to walk and you may stumble and fall, but you keep 14:21 getting up, amen? 14:23 You will grow. 14:24 Children usually don't worry about growing. 14:26 If they do the basics. 14:28 Got to exercise, you've got to eat, you've got to breathe. 14:31 You need to pray, you need to read the Word, and to share your 14:34 faith, and try and live it out, and you'll grow. 14:38 You'll have a new life. 14:39 You know what it says in Isaiah? 14:40 Learn to do good. 14:42 If you spend your whole life doing bad, learning to do good, 14:47 it's a process, amen? 14:49 You can read, it says, and this 14:51 is in John 14:17: "The SPIRIT of 14:54 TRUTH, whom the world cannot 14:56 receive, because it neither sees 14:58 Him nor knows Him; but you know 15:00 Him, and He dwells with you and 15:01 will be," what? 15:03 The Holy Spirit comes into your heart and your life. 15:06 See, when you come to the Lord and you repent of your sins, 15:08 you're giving God permission to activate His power in your life 15:12 and you're going to see and feel miracles. 15:14 You're going to go, "Wow, God is real." 15:17 It's amazing. 15:18 Says: "We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror 15:22 the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image 15:26 from glory to glory, just as by the," what? 15:30 "The SPIRIT of the LORD." 15:31 What is--what's happening? 15:32 You're being transformed, by what? 15:34 By beholding. 15:36 Now, I'm going to say something. 15:37 I'd like you to repeat it after me. 15:39 By beholding, we are changed. 15:42 It's a law of life. 15:44 Your soul is something like a photographic plate. 15:46 When you aim the camera at something, you press the button, 15:48 it captures an image. 15:51 You become like what you look at. 15:54 The reason that you speak or understand English or those 15:57 listening in Spanish, Spanish, is because that's what 16:00 you've heard. 16:01 The reason you're dressing the way you dress today, you look 16:04 around at what the fashions are and you dress 16:06 accordingly, right? 16:09 We are all influenced by what we take into our eyes. 16:12 Do you want to be like Christ? 16:14 Fix your eyes on Jesus, amen, friends? 16:18 Number nine: Can the gospel really save me from all of 16:22 my sins? 16:23 What does the Bible say? 16:25 God, who has promised. 16:28 He's what? 16:29 "God, who cannot lie, has PROMISED." 16:32 Can you believe the promise, "before time began." 16:36 You can read in Titus 2:14: "Who gave Himself for us that He 16:41 might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for 16:44 Himself, His own special people, zealous of good works." 16:50 He'll be zealous. 16:51 He purifies us. 16:53 As we look at Him, He transforms us. 16:55 He's promised. 16:56 Number 10: Can I be confident that my new-birth experience 17:00 will be successful and lasting? 17:02 How do we know? 17:04 Has God promised that He'll finish what He started? 17:06 You read in Philippians 1:6: "Being confident," you can have 17:10 confidence, friends, "of this very thing, that He that has 17:13 begun a good work in you will," do what? 17:16 You can write that in your lesson. 17:18 "COMPLETE it until the day of Jesus Christ." 17:21 You can read in Hebrews chapter 12, verse 2: "Looking unto 17:25 Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." 17:28 If you keep your eyes on Jesus, He will finish what He started 17:31 in your life. 17:33 Can you trust Him? 17:34 You know you can, friends. 17:36 He won't let you down. 17:37 Now, when you look at yourself, you might get disappointed. 17:41 When I look at my life, I realize I'm not what I ought to 17:44 be, but I praise God I'm not what I used to be. 17:48 And when I look at Jesus, I realize I've got a long way 17:51 to go. 17:52 But I believe that He will finish what He started in 17:54 my life. 17:55 You keep Him before you as your goal. 17:58 Number 11: Why do some people fail in their 18:01 Christian experience? 18:03 Answer? 18:05 It says: "All we like sheep," what does Isaiah 53:6 say? 18:09 "All we like sheep have turned, every one, to his OWN WAY." 18:14 We really only have two choices: His will or our will. 18:19 The Bible says that Jesus even struggled in the garden and 18:22 said, "Not my will, Lord. 18:23 Your will be done." 18:25 And we all have that battle between our will and His will. 18:29 But as you surrender to the Lord, so, "Lord, help me be 18:32 willing to do Your will," He will transform you and give you 18:36 that desire. 18:37 You know how a cow is always looking for grass on the other 18:40 side of the fence? 18:41 The devil always wants to embed us with this dissatisfaction. 18:44 We're always thinking it's got to be somewhere else. 18:48 And I asked a rancher one time, "How is it that a cow 18:51 gets lost?" 18:53 Says: "He nibbles his way into being lost. 18:56 He just goes from one tuft of grass to another and stops 18:59 paying attention to where he's at. 19:00 Always looking at what's directly in front of him, going 19:02 his own way." 19:04 And that's how we do it. 19:05 We kind of nibble our way into being lost. 19:07 People backslide. 19:09 You've got to keep fixing your eyes on Jesus. 19:13 Number 12: If I sin after I've 19:16 been born again, am I lost? 19:19 That'd be kind of hopeless, wouldn't it? 19:22 The Bible tells us in Proverbs 24:16: "For a righteous man may 19:27 fall," what? 19:28 "Seven times and," do what? 19:30 "Rise again." 19:33 You can read in the Bible about Mary Magdalene, out of whom 19:35 Jesus cast seven devils. 19:38 And there are people like Peter who followed the Lord and he 19:42 fell, and David fell and Solomon fell, and they were all redeemed 19:48 in the end. 19:49 Do not be discouraged. 19:50 So many people get discouraged, they fall. 19:52 Keep getting back up. 19:54 You need to make constant course corrections. 19:56 You know, I--I'm a pilot and I don't have a plane anymore, but 20:01 I used to fly. 20:02 Think I--was it this year? 20:03 I flew once this year. 20:05 That was kind of cool. 20:06 And I also go out in the woods and I hike and so I've got 20:09 a GPS. 20:10 Now, this is different from the GPS you have in your car. 20:13 GPS in your car will say, "Turn here, turn there," and you're 20:16 going down the road, you know? 20:18 Unless you're doing a lot of off-roading with your rabbit. 20:23 These are telling you where you want to get to and it's got a 20:27 fixed point and it'll show you a straight line, but the terrain 20:31 does not always accommodate a straight line. 20:34 Or you might do a little sightseeing along the way and 20:36 you kind of get off. 20:38 But what you've got to do is just keep saying, "I'm off 20:40 the line." 20:42 So when I'm flying, you can't see this here. 20:45 But when I'm flying it says you got point A, point B. 20:48 Well, you want to go in a straight line, save fuel, save 20:51 time, but I'm what you call a wandering willie pilot. 20:57 If you don't have an autopilot, then you're looking out the 20:59 window and as you look out the window, you start turning a 21:02 little bit, and I look back at the GPS, straighten out and then 21:05 turn a little bit. 21:06 And so sometimes you're doing this but you keep--I keep 21:09 fixing back and I keep doing course correction. 21:14 In the Christian life, there's 1000 million distractions. 21:18 Every day, you keep your eyes on Jesus and His Word. 21:21 As you continue to read His Word, as you fix your eyes on 21:24 Jesus, you keep making course corrections. 21:26 You know, as long as I did that, I always found my destination. 21:31 If you keep making the course corrections, He will get you to 21:34 your destination, amen? 21:36 "If anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone 21:40 TURNS him back," you know what that tells us? 21:42 There are sometimes people that wander from the truth. 21:45 Do not be discouraged. 21:47 Not only should you turn back, but you should be used by God to 21:50 turn other back. 21:52 "Let him know that he that TURNS a sinner from the error of his 21:55 ways will save a soul from," what? 21:58 There's only two choices, friends. 22:00 The Bible says: Believe, everlasting life; do not 22:04 believe, perish. 22:06 Moses said, "I set before you this day, life and good, death 22:11 and cursing." 22:12 Only two choices. 22:14 Hebrews 10:26: "If we continue to sin willfully after we've 22:18 received the knowledge of the truth, there NO LONGER remains a 22:22 sacrifice for sin." 22:24 Now, don't be discouraged. 22:26 It's not saying if after you know the truth, you willfully 22:28 sin, you're lost. 22:29 It means if you continue to live a life of sin. 22:31 What else can God do? 22:33 He needs to save you from your sin. 22:35 The angel told Mary they'll call his name Jesus for He will save 22:38 His people not in their sin; from their sin. 22:43 Now, would God say He's going to do something and not be able to 22:45 do it? 22:46 He can do it for you. 22:48 What other wonderful promises come with receiving the gift of 22:52 the everlasting gospel? 22:55 I can do how many things through Jesus? 22:57 Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ Jesus." 23:01 You and God are a majority, friends. 23:04 It goes on to say, Philippians 4:19, "And my God will," 23:08 do what? 23:09 "He will SUPPLY all of your needs." 23:11 Everything you need to be saved. 23:13 Don't think that God's going to leave you out or forget 23:14 about you. 23:16 You may have challenges, you'll have temptations, you might have 23:18 periods of discouragement, but God will never ask you to do 23:22 something without giving you the ability to do it, amen? 23:26 He will supply your needs. 23:29 "These things I've spoken to you, that your joy might remain 23:32 in you and that your," what? 23:34 "Your JOY might be full." 23:37 The Lord wants you to have a fullness of joy in your life. 23:41 It's one of Karen's favorite scriptures. 23:43 Psalm 16:11: "In your presence is fullness of joy. 23:47 At your right hand are pleasures forevermore." 23:51 Jesus said, "The thief does not 23:52 come," John 10:10, "except to 23:55 steal, and kill, and destroy. 23:57 I've come that they might have life." 23:59 What kind of life? 24:01 "An abundant life." 24:03 Friends, you know, after I decided to follow Jesus, at 24:05 first I thought, "Well, Lord, I'm committed to follow You, but 24:09 I guess Christians don't have any fun." 24:11 Oh, was I ever wrong? 24:14 I have so much fun being a Christian, and we've been 24:17 traveling the world. 24:19 Just this year, we've been to Egypt and Europe and seen so 24:22 many incredible things. 24:24 Been able to share the gospel and being a Christian is really 24:27 an abundant life. 24:28 Don't believe the lie of the devil, that sin is the 24:32 abundant life. 24:33 It's the miserable life. 24:35 You'll find no peace or happiness. 24:39 "For He Himself has said, 'I will never LEAVE you 24:42 nor,'" what? 24:43 "'I'll never FORSAKE you.'" 24:44 You'll always have a friend with you. 24:46 He says, "I'm with you to the end of the world. 24:48 So we might boldly say: 'The Lord is my helper; I will 24:52 NOT FEAR.'" 24:53 You've got a wonderful friend that will never forget you. 24:56 Peace, He said, He gives us. 24:58 "My peace I give you; not as the world gives do I give you. 25:01 Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." 25:06 You know, friends, God makes all these wonderful promises for us, 25:09 but the big question is, will you decide now to accept Jesus 25:15 and that everlasting gospel?
