00:02 male announcer: This presentation is brought to you
00:03 by the friends of the Amazing Facts ministry. 00:06 Coming to you from New York City at the historic Manhattan Center 00:11 with your host Doug Batchelor. 00:13 Join this exciting journey of discovery as we learn the truth 00:17 about Bible prophecy. 00:19 Explore the timeless wisdom of God's Word and see how it 00:23 relates to our lives today. 00:25 Stay tuned, your Amazing Facts adventure begins now. 00:30 Doug Batchelor: My name is Pastor Doug Batchelor, and it's 00:33 been my privilege to be talking about my favorite theme, the 00:36 Word of God and Bible prophecy for about 45 years now. 00:41 And I'm just so thankful to be back in the town where I grew up 00:45 in New York City, and thank you so much, 00:48 each of you, for coming. 00:50 Tonight's presentation is among the most important, we're 00:53 dealing with "Signs of Christ's Return." 00:57 I use sort of a question-answer method, Jesus used that to 01:02 teach, and so we're going to go into question number one of our 01:05 study tonight on "Signs of Christ's Return." 01:09 And something happened in 1881 in Scotland, off the coast, in 01:17 the town of Eyemouth, they had endured a terrible storm and 01:22 because of that storm, nobody could go fishing for 01:25 several days. 01:27 Everybody was tied up in the shore and they were not able to 01:29 go out and to go fishing. 01:31 Well, that's their main livelihood, and so finally there 01:35 was a break in the storm October 14, and this whole harbor full 01:40 of fishing boats, all the fishermen went out and they 01:42 began to ready to go out to go catch and try to make some money 01:44 again and go out fishing. 01:46 But the harbor master, he used to watch the weather 01:49 instruments, he hoisted the storm flag and told people, "Do 01:53 not go out, the barometric pressure is dropping, it looks 01:58 like there's still a severe storm that's out there." 02:01 But the fishermen, they saw their buddies were all going, 02:03 and one of them said, "I'm going, clear day, calm weather, 02:06 I got to catch some fish." 02:08 And they said, "Well, if he's going, I'm going," and most of 02:12 the fishermen went out that day. 02:14 They ignored the warning signs of the instruments. 02:17 As a result of that, they didn't know that they were in 02:20 the eye of a hurricane and a terrible storm 02:25 swept through the North Sea at that time, and almost 190 02:30 fishermen were lost as a result of that. 02:33 They still call it Black Friday in Eyemouth, all these families, 02:38 they lost their fathers and their husbands and their 02:41 brothers because they did not listen to the warning signs. 02:46 In God's Word, the Lord gives us warning signs about what 02:50 is coming. 02:51 Jesus said that His coming would be something like as it was 02:55 in the days of Noah. 02:56 You know, God told Noah, 02:57 "There's a storm coming," and 02:59 Noah told the people, and Noah 03:01 prepared, and a lot of people 03:03 said, "You know, I think Noah's 03:04 right, the world's pretty wicked," 03:06 but they looked and they didn't 03:07 see any rain. 03:09 And even though they saw the signs, sky go black with all 03:13 these birds that came to the ark, and then the animals came, 03:16 the clean and the unclean, and they thought, "But there's 03:20 no rain." 03:22 And they waited until Noah and everybody had entered the ark, 03:25 and then the rain started after the door was shut and it was 03:29 too late. 03:30 Jesus said that's what it will be like in the day when the Son 03:33 of Man comes. 03:34 God gives us prophecy to save. 03:37 Noah was a prophet, and he wanted people 03:39 to be saved by that. 03:41 In the book of Amos, chapter 3, verse 7, it says, "Surely the 03:46 Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals His secret to His 03:51 servants the prophets." 03:53 Now, you look at Bible history, whenever God is getting ready to 03:56 do anything significant, like the flood in the days of Noah, 04:00 or when he was about to deliver them from the slavery of Egypt, 04:04 he sent a prophet, what was his name? 04:07 Moses, and before the Babylonian captivity there was Isaiah 04:12 and Jeremiah. 04:13 Before Jesus's First Coming, who was that great messenger 04:16 that came? 04:17 John the Baptist, so you, whenever you've got these 04:20 critical events in history, God says, "Surely the Lord God will 04:24 do nothing," meaning nothing of great significance, but he will 04:26 send a prophet to prepare, to warn, to woo, to win people. 04:31 Do you think that God would send prophecies to help us get ready 04:34 for the Second Coming and the end of the world? 04:37 Well, he certainly has, we're going be talking about 04:39 those tonight. 04:41 But you know, we always think it's interesting when we do a 04:43 seminar like this to take a little time and just go out on 04:46 the street and get some input from what we call the man on the 04:50 street, what do people think out there about will the world end 04:55 and how might it end? 04:56 So we're going to go to the screen and and listen to some of 04:58 these comments that came in. 05:01 male: I believe the world will end, I mean, it's a reality, if 05:05 we look at science as a cause. 05:07 I mean, eventually it will run its course as a planet. 05:11 When? 05:13 Probably significant time from now, I don't think the world is 05:15 going to end tomorrow. 05:17 female: I'm sure one day it will, I don't know exactly when 05:19 the earth will end. 05:21 I mean, it is a really random question, but I would say maybe 05:25 a couple million years. 05:27 male: Absolutely, it's coming soon, Luke 21, verse 10 to 19. 05:31 male: I don't think the world is going to end, but, I mean, I'm a 05:36 Christian, yeah, I think the world is going to end one 05:38 day, yeah. 05:39 You know, it's either we're going to go to hell or we're 05:41 going to go to heaven. 05:42 I know I'm going to heaven, so. 05:44 female: What would bring this world to an end? 05:49 The hatred. 05:51 female: Nuclear. 05:52 female: Pollution. 05:54 male: Maybe Satan, I don't know. 05:59 male: I'm going to go with climate change. 06:00 male: Probably just war, politics, something like that, 06:03 people arguing and causing like nuclear destruction. 06:08 male: He's coming back, yes, of course, ask every Christian. 06:12 male: No. 06:13 female: No. 06:14 female: Yeah, I think so, yeah. 06:16 male: No. 06:17 male: Because I believe Jesus is coming back and all that stuff, 06:20 but then there's different people with different thoughts, 06:23 you know, like there's some people that said the Rapture 06:25 already happened already. 06:26 And there's people that say there's no Rapture in the Bible, 06:29 but it's a lot. 06:31 Doug: I think you'll agree with me that the answers are sort of 06:33 all over the map, amen? 06:36 So, how do we know the truth? 06:40 Do we just take a camera on the street to learn the truth or do 06:42 we go to the Word of God? 06:44 "Heaven and earth will pass away," Jesus said, "but My Word 06:47 will not pass away." 06:48 I want to make you promise, in this seminar, what I'm going to 06:51 share with you is from the Bible. 06:53 We're going to be giving you scripture. 06:54 I don't want you to believe what I say, 06:56 I want you to believe what the Bible says, 06:58 and I'll be sharing with you what the Bible says on these 07:01 very important issues. 07:03 So you check it out, by the way, it's the best selling book in 07:05 the world, and it stood the test of time and began to be written 07:09 about 3,500 years ago by 40 authors on three continents. 07:14 Some were shepherds, kings, scribes, fishermen, all 07:18 different backgrounds, and yet it has stood the test of time. 07:22 There's a reason: it is an inspired book. 07:25 So all right, question number one in our study, how positive 07:29 was Jesus that He was going to come again? 07:33 What does the Bible say? 07:34 Christ said in John 14, I hope you've memorized this promise. 07:38 He said, "I go and prepare a place for you and I will," 07:42 what's it say? 07:44 "I will come again," He didn't say I might, He said, "I will 07:49 come again." 07:50 Now keep in mind, God told Adam and Eve, "A Savior's going to 07:54 come," and all the patriarchs knew the Messiah would come the 07:57 first time as a Lamb, He'd come the next time as a Lion. 08:03 And it took a while for Him to come as a Lamb, but He came. 08:07 And Jesus said, "I'm coming back now as a King. 08:11 I'm going to come as a conquering King, as a Lion 08:14 next time." 08:15 There are 1,800 passages in the Bible that talk about the Second 08:19 Coming of Jesus. 08:20 Some people say, "Why do you focus on prophecy?" 08:22 Well, Jesus did, the Bible does, and you can find 318 of those 08:28 passages in the New Testament. 08:30 And all the way from the time of Enoch before the flood, Enoch 08:33 said, "Behold, the Lord comes with 10,000 of His saints," and 08:37 who knows what are the last words in the Bible? 08:40 "Even so come Lord Jesus," so is the coming of Christ a 08:45 biblical theme? 08:47 Then we need to talk about what the Lord talks about, right? 08:51 All right, another verse, Matthew 16:27, "For the Son of 08:56 Man," what's it say? 08:58 "WILL COME in the glory of His Father with His angels, and He 09:03 will reward each one according to his works." 09:06 The Lord made it very clear He will come. 09:10 Next question, what can we know about the time of 09:14 Christ's return? 09:15 Now here's where a lot of people have gotten in trouble. 09:18 What does the Bible say about this? 09:20 Jesus said Matthew chapter 24, it says, "But of that day and 09:24 hour," what? 09:25 "NO ONE knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My 09:30 Father only." 09:32 Now some are saying, you mean Jesus didn't know? 09:35 Well, no, when He was on the earth, He didn't have all 09:37 knowledge swimming around in His head as a little baby and 09:40 through His earthly life, but He certainly knows now. 09:44 I can't imagine that God the Father and the Son are sitting 09:47 up there in heaven and Jesus is saying, "So when am I supposed 09:50 to come back?" 09:53 "I got the envelope here, but I can't show it to you yet." 09:55 Of course he knows now. 09:57 On earth, Christ laid aside a lot of His knowledge. 10:02 Furthermore, Matthew 24, verse 44, "Therefore, be ready, for 10:07 the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect." 10:11 Did you notice what He said? 10:13 He's coming, but it's going to surprise a lot of people. 10:16 So when someone said, I've calculated the date, how many of 10:19 you have heard of a pastor or ministry that picked a date for 10:23 the Second Coming or the Rapture? 10:25 Do you realize so far they've all been wrong? 10:28 You know why the devil does that? 10:30 Do you all know the story about the boy that called wolf? 10:34 The devil wants a lot of ministries and people out there 10:37 setting dates so when they get all excited and then Jesus 10:40 doesn't come, they jettison their faith completely. 10:45 And then when someone else says there are signs of His coming, 10:47 they say "Oh, I used to believe that," and it makes people lose 10:50 faith in the Word of God. 10:52 Jesus said, "Don't set dates. 10:54 No man knows the day or the hour." 10:56 Only God knows that, but what can we know about the 11:01 Second Coming? 11:03 Jesus said in Matthew 24, verse 33, "So you also, when you see 11:08 these things, know that it is," what? 11:12 IT'S NEAR--even at the door!" 11:14 So can we know when it's at the door and when it's near, 11:17 according to Jesus? 11:18 Yes, well, friends, I tell you it is at the door, it is near. 11:22 We're going to go through some of the reasons from the Bible 11:24 that we believe that now. 11:27 Only God knows the exact timing and date, I'd stay away from 11:30 anybody that says that they have found the date or they can 11:33 calculate it. 11:35 Question three, what signs does Jesus give us to indicate that 11:40 His coming is near? 11:41 Now first we're going to talk in this lesson--we've divided this 11:44 lesson in two parts. 11:45 We're talking about signs of the nearness of Jesus's coming, and 11:50 then we're going to be talking about how He's coming, so we're 11:53 not deceived because Satan's going to impersonate that. 11:58 What are some of the signs? 11:59 For one thing, tell you what, let's go to the Bible. 12:02 I want to just read a passage to you from the Bible, and you can 12:05 look this up, make a note if you want. 12:07 I'm going to Matthew chapter 24, where Jesus talks about the 12:10 Second Coming, and just to give you the background, the 12:15 disciples are showing Jesus the beautiful stones in the 12:18 renovated temple of Herod the Great. 12:21 He's renovated their national treasure, the sanctuary, and 12:25 Karen and I and so many of our team have been there, and we've 12:28 been down below the level and we've seen some of the stones. 12:31 They got one stone there that weighs more than a fully loaded 12:35 747, and you think, "How did they perfectly cut?" 12:40 And even back then the disciples are saying, "They marveled at 12:43 the stones," and you know Jesus shocked them, He said, "Do you 12:45 not see all these things? 12:47 I say unto you, there will not be left here one stone upon 12:50 another that will not be thrown down," and the disciples were 12:53 thunder struck. 12:55 And they said, "Lord, when will these things be? 12:59 What will be the sign of your coming 13:01 and the end of the world?" 13:02 So they asked Him several questions, all of them were 13:04 asking Him questions. 13:06 He then coalesced His answer into one discourse. 13:09 You'll find that discourse in Matthew 24, Mark 13, 13:15 Luke 17, and Luke 21, the signs that Jesus gives 13:20 so we can know when His coming is near. 13:23 So Christ told His disciples, first thing, verse 4, Matthew 13:26 24, verse 4, "Take heed that nobody deceives you." 13:32 What did Jesus warn about His Second Coming? 13:34 First thing, there'll be a lot of deception, "For many will 13:38 come in My name, saying, 'I am Christ,' and deceive many. 13:42 And you'll hear of wars and rumors of wars." 13:44 We have that today, "See that you're not troubled; for all 13:48 these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 13:51 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom 13:54 against kingdom. 13:55 And there will be FAMINES, and pestilences," that's plagues, 14:00 "and EARTHQUAKES in various places. 14:03 All these are the beginning of labor pains. 14:06 Then they'll deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and 14:09 you'll be hated of all nations for My name's sake. 14:12 And many will be offended, and betray one another, many will 14:15 hate one another. 14:17 Many false prophets will rise and deceive many." 14:20 That's why we do these seminars so people can read the Bible for 14:23 themselves and not be deceived. 14:25 'Cause let's face it, there's a lot of religious voices out 14:27 there, they're not all telling the truth. 14:30 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will 14:33 grow cold, but he that endures to the end, the same will be 14:38 saved," is the promise. 14:39 So that's just the beginning of what Jesus said, and we're going 14:41 to go into that in some detail now. 14:44 Nation will rise against nation, famines, pestilences, 14:46 earthquakes, well, let's talk a little bit about earthquakes. 14:51 National Geophysics Data Center, the earthquakes between 1940 and 14:57 2020 have gone up 4.9 times. 15:01 And that's even accounting for better equipment, it's not just 15:04 cause they've got better seismic equipment. 15:06 There are more problems, more earthquakes that are taking 15:09 place, greater magnitude. 15:11 You realize the tsunami that they had that affected Indonesia 15:16 was an earthquake. 15:17 The earthquake in Haiti, thousands have died in the last 15:22 few years, it seems like they're mounting. 15:24 Natural disasters, He tells us that, that will increase. 15:30 Here's actually a report according to BBC, the number of 15:33 weather-related disasters has increased by a factor of five 15:37 over 50 years. 15:39 Now this is not a religious report, this is a report of an 15:42 insurance company based in Munich, and they want to know 15:46 how to insure, and they look at the natural disasters because 15:49 the more disasters, the more money they lose and they see a 15:52 trend, it's not a religious organization. 15:55 Have you noticed the trend is going up for both geophysical, 15:59 meteorological, hydrological, and climatological catastrophes 16:05 are increasing. 16:06 And with more people, more people in the world are affected 16:09 by those. 16:10 Jesus said, "there'll be plagues, pestilence," same word. 16:13 Does anyone remember something that happened between like 2019 16:17 and 2023? 16:20 A global plague, and it wasn't the most deadly, you go back to 16:24 1918, somewhere between 30 and 50 million people died from the 16:29 Spanish flu. 16:31 And so, you know, of course, the leaders in that field are saying 16:36 there could be something worse on the horizon. 16:39 Jesus said these things will accelerate in the last days. 16:43 And thousands of people died from the Ebola outbreak in 2011, 16:48 and we know COVID kind of paralyzed the world for a while. 16:52 Jesus gives us another sign of the last days, he said it will 16:55 be as it was in the days of Noah, that because of the 16:59 hardness of people's hearts, their love will grow cold and 17:03 there's more violence. 17:05 Now, I know you are good people, but not everybody in New York 17:09 City is as good as you are. 17:12 And Karen and I were just watching the news last night and 17:14 some of you saw, where just some random man went up and clobbered 17:19 an old woman that he didn't know knocked her to the street and 17:22 walked away. 17:23 That's called crazy violence. 17:27 Jesus said that would be one of the signs 17:28 as it was in the days of Noah. 17:29 What does it say about the days of Noah? 17:32 You can read there in Genesis, "The earth was corrupt before 17:35 God and violence. 17:38 Now, let me tell you something, just it's kind of a personal pet 17:41 peeve of mine. 17:43 Everybody's trying to figure out, why is there so 17:45 much violence? 17:47 And I'm not saying that the multiplication of guns and more 17:51 deadly guns is not a factor, but I think it's something 17:53 even bigger. 17:55 If you have a society that is entertained by violence, if you 17:59 have a generation of young people that grow up playing 18:01 games that involve shooting digital characters, they soon 18:05 lose the separation between fiction and reality. 18:09 The value of human life is diminished if we're all being 18:13 entertained by watching bloodshed that gets worse and 18:16 worse with every new program in order to keep the audience, and 18:19 we wonder, why is violence increasing? 18:23 Well, maybe it's because people are feeding on it and it's 18:26 affecting our natures. 18:28 I appreciate more than one amen on that because I just told you 18:30 the truth. 18:32 If we spend all of our times--you become like what 18:34 you behold. 18:35 If you have a culture around the world--and whatever we produce 18:37 in America is imported internationally, and if we are 18:41 importing violence internationally, wonder why is 18:44 violence increasing? 18:46 Men's hearts are growing cold. 18:49 We need the gospel, friends. 18:51 Immorality increasing, not only in the breakdown of marriage, 18:57 but even the definition of marriage, friends, I told you 18:59 I'm going to tell you what the Bible says. 19:01 You want me to do that? 19:03 I'm going to tell you what the Bible says, 19:05 Jesus said, "Likewise as it was also 19:07 in the days of Lot... Even so will 19:09 it be in the day when the Son of Man 19:12 has appeared." 19:13 Do you know that there are about 200,000 Americans that are 19:17 classified as porn addicts. 19:21 Here, I've got some statistics here, I can't 19:22 remember them all, but I have some notes I jotted down in the 19:26 front of my Bible to share with you on these statistics. 19:32 Forty million American people-- there's only 340 million total-- 19:36 40 million American people regularly visit porn sites. 19:40 The pornography industry earns $97 billion worldwide every 19:45 year, that's more than Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and 19:48 the top ten tech companies combined. 19:52 Thirty-five percent of all internet downloads, when you 19:54 wonder why your internet is slow, 35% of all internet 19:59 downloads are related to pornography, think about the 20:02 bandwidth that would increase. 20:05 Thirty-four percent of internet users have experienced unwanted 20:08 exposure, and the earliest happens at 8 years of age, so 20:14 8 to 11 is when it's first exposed. 20:18 One third of porn viewers are women, and it plays a 20:22 significant role in all divorces. 20:25 I'm a pastor and unfortunately we have to do marriage 20:27 counseling and I can testify that that's true. 20:30 It is an epidemic and Jesus said, you know, the problems in 20:34 Sodom and Gomorrah were sexual immorality on all scales. 20:40 But I think that we agree, Jesus said, "From the beginning, God 20:44 'made them male and female.'" 20:46 He didn't give us 20 options. 20:49 I still believe Jesus, I'm sorry. 20:51 You have to take that up with him, don't get mad at me. 20:55 Mushrooming population around the world, by the year 2050, the 21:00 Earth's population is going to be 9.5 billion. 21:04 I've got another note that I want to read you, this is just 21:06 fantastic when you think about it, because this is another 21:09 reason I think it just cannot go on forever. 21:11 Listen to this, it took all of human history, until about 1800, 21:18 to get the first billion people. 21:22 That's, you know, roughly 5,000 years of Bible history to get 21:25 the first billion people. 21:27 Then it only took 130 years, back in 1930, to get the 21:32 second billion. 21:33 The third billion took 30 years, the forth billion took 15 years, 21:39 the fifth billion, 13 years. 21:41 Now there are over eight billion people in the world, and during 21:48 that same time that humanity is developing and sprawling across 21:52 the world and using incredible amounts of resources, and I want 21:57 to remind you, friends, I've traveled all over the world. 21:59 Just this year, Karen and I've been India, Pakistan, Dubai, 22:04 Indonesia, China is, I 22:09 actually had the privilege of preaching in China. 22:10 We were in Panama, Guatemala, Russia, just, Australia, we've 22:15 been in Fiji, New Guinea, we've been all over the world and I 22:19 see what's happening. 22:20 I'm also a pilot, so I fly over the country and I see places I 22:23 used to fly that were forests, it's sprawl now, and you wonder 22:28 how long can that go on? 22:31 During this same time, humanity has wiped out, since 1970, 60% 22:37 of the animal population in the world. 22:42 Now there's more cows than there ever have been and there's 22:46 probably more pigs and chickens than there ever have been, 22:48 because what would we do without McDonald's and Kentucky Fried 22:52 Chicken, right? 22:54 But the other wildlife, you know, I read history books when 22:59 Lewis and Clark crossed North America, took a day and a half. 23:02 They had to wait for a buffalo herd to cross a river, they had 23:04 to wait a day and a half, millions of them. 23:07 Now if you see a buffalo, you go, "Oh look, a buffalo." 23:13 The sky used to be black with carrier pigeons, they're 23:16 all gone. 23:18 The world cannot go on. You know what Jesus said? 23:21 Except those days be shortened, speaking of the last days, no 23:25 flesh would be saved. 23:26 The word flesh there means that nothing's going to survive 23:28 unless he comes, 'cause there'll be nothing to come for. 23:32 Eventually man will self destruct, so we've got the 23:36 diminishing resources. 23:38 The UN released its global resource 23:40 outlook for 2024, "We are consuming 23:44 resources much faster than the Earth can 23:46 sustainably provide them." 23:47 Some things can't be re-provided, 23:49 we're not making new oil. 23:52 "By 2050, it will require 3 Earths 23:55 to meet the world's demand." 23:58 Political instability and nuclear weapons is something 24:02 just to think about. 24:04 You realize that man has never made a weapon he did not use. 24:09 And instead of decommissioning all the nuclear weapons, the US 24:14 and Russia principally have the largest number, but of course, 24:16 India, Pakistan, Israel, Europe, they're all over the world. 24:20 North Korea has got them, China's got them, they haven't 24:23 stopped making them because they say it's a deterrent, but 24:26 knowing human nature, and some people get extreme, and some 24:30 people out of vengeance, eventually through accident, 24:33 folly, or madness, somebody is going to set something off if 24:39 Jesus doesn't come. 24:41 Now, I'm not trying to fright--yeah, I am a little bit, 24:43 I guess, just because I want you to know Jesus has to come or 24:46 we're going to destroy ourselves eventually. 24:49 The other thing I think is very interesting, is thinking 24:53 successful people around the world, how do they view 24:56 the future? 24:58 I just read this, this year, 25:00 Mark Zuckerberg, of course, 25:02 who's the founder and principal 25:04 owner of Facebook and Meta, he's 25:07 bought a huge ranch in Kauai, a 25:09 beautiful island in Hawaii and 25:11 he's building a 5,000 square 25:13 foot bunker under his ranch on 25:15 an island. 25:16 Why would you build a bunker under a ranch on a volcano? 25:22 But they're, and they're, you know, of course they're 25:24 supplying it with everything, so it's self-sufficient, it's 25:27 independent, off the grid. 25:29 But he's not alone, you can go down the line and look at 25:32 millionaires like Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel and the others, they 25:35 are buying property in New Zealand and remote places, and 25:38 they're building Doomsday bunkers. 25:42 Now, this is not something Pastor Doug is making up, here's 25:45 a headline we just captured the screen from CNN. 25:48 "Super-rich Building Doomsday Bunkers," and this is a picture 25:51 of decommissioned missile silos, I think it's North Dakota. 25:55 And they've got, you know, the bedrooms and all the food and 25:57 generators, and it's amazing the money, now why would 26:01 billionaires do that? 26:02 Doug: You know, Jesus came into our world for three reasons. 26:06 First of all, He came as our example, to live a life that we 26:09 might follow His steps. 26:11 He came to show us the Father. 26:13 He said, "If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father." 26:16 And then He came as our sacrifice, He died on the cross 26:19 as a substitute for all our sins, but we must come to Him. 26:23 We repent of our sins, we confess, He'll receive us with 26:26 loving arms, why don't you ask Him now? 26:30 Doug: Hi friends, I trust you're being blessed by what 26:32 you're watching. 26:33 If you want to be doubly blessed, then you're going to 26:35 want to get the "Prophecy Odyssey" study guides that go 26:38 along with these presentations. 26:40 There's 15 study guides, they're beautifully illustrated, and 26:43 they will greatly enhance your Bible comprehension. 26:47 So if you'd like to get them, simply follow the instructions 26:49 that you see on the screen, you will be glad you did. 27:00 Doug: Hi friends, if you'd like to learn more about the signs of 27:03 the end times, then you're going to want to get "The Day of the 27:06 Lord," Amazing Facts' 52 page full-color magazine that'll give 27:11 you an in-depth look at what the Bible really says about Christ's 27:15 soon return. 27:17 To get your copy, simply follow 27:18 the instructions on your screen, 27:20 and we're going to send it to you 27:22 absolutely free of charge, 27:24 no cost. 27:26 ♪♪♪ 27:36 ♪♪♪ 27:46 ♪♪♪ 27:56 ♪♪♪ 28:02 Doug: What you've seen just now is only part one in 28:06 this presentation. 28:07 Make sure and join us for part two in our next broadcast for 28:11 some of the most important points on this topic and to 28:14 complete the corresponding study guides. 28:17 Until then, God bless. 28:22 male announcer: This presentation was brought to you 28:23 by the friends of the Amazing Facts ministry. |
