00:23 Welcome to Heavens Declare.
00:25 I'm Jim Burr and we're sharing the heavens. 00:27 Our title today is "Life on Other Planets". 00:31 And actually we're going to pick up a couple, 00:34 there was a couple of images from the previous program. 00:39 We didn't have time for that, I really want to put them here 00:41 and they're going to fit along pretty good with the, 00:44 the subject of Life on Other Planets. 00:47 Here there's a lot of talk about aliens and UFOs. 00:52 And I needed to tell you that I don't believe 00:56 there are any aliens coming here to earth. 00:59 I don't believe there is any UFOs, 01:01 I think the UFOs are a work of Satan. 01:04 I think that the all of the Star Wars 01:07 and that type of videos 01:09 that just sweep this nation are preparing people 01:13 for a deception of false Christ coming. 01:19 And I had gentleman ask me, 01:21 I was on a bus one day and he said, 01:23 he was the driver of the bus and he said, 01:24 "You know, do you believe in aliens?" 01:26 And I said, "I think 01:27 some of it may be government activities, 01:29 some would be, the rest of it is demonic activity. 01:33 And I have really had this on pretty good authority, 01:35 had a friend, a business contact. 01:37 I was so closely working with this man, in fact, 01:40 I have a key for his manufacturing facility, 01:42 we were working back and forth. 01:44 One day I got a call and he says, "We need to talk. 01:47 Can we go to lunch?" 01:49 And I said, "Yes," and we went to lunch and he, 01:51 I rode in with him and his wife in the vehicle 01:53 and he stopped at the parking lot 01:55 and he turned at me and he says, 01:57 "You have been talking about your religion 01:59 and it's causing some problems." 02:01 And I haven't been witnessing 02:04 to any of his workers and his people 02:05 "how would he know this?" 02:07 And he said, "Well, we met last night 02:08 with your spirit guys. 02:10 You have two spirit guys, you're not listening to them." 02:12 Now we know he says, "I know you're godly person, 02:16 I can see it in your life. 02:18 See it in your family, 02:20 but you're not listening to your spirit guys 02:22 and we would, your spirit guys want you to come tonight. 02:25 We're going to meet with your spirit guys tonight 02:28 and they want you to come and meet them 02:29 and we're not asking you to change, 02:31 we're just asking you to take one more step 02:33 and, and you can break this cycle of death 02:36 and reincarnation if you take one more step." 02:39 And I said disappointed once for a man to die 02:41 and after that the judgment. 02:43 And they said, "Well, yeah, Joseph said that Jim Burr 02:45 would be a hard nut to crack. 02:48 But they told me about alien abductions 02:52 and a blue light 02:53 that was circling the earth 02:55 and all this kind of fits with the concept 02:58 that at the very end of time, there's going to be deceptions. 03:01 People are going to be deceived and the Bible tells us, 03:03 "There will be false Christ and false prophets." 03:06 And so I don't believe that, 03:07 that the UFOs are really aliens, 03:12 I think it's a satanic activity that's going on. 03:16 And in fact, NASA is... 03:21 There was a meeting of NASA scientists on July 15, 2014. 03:26 And in there are the statements made that aliens 03:30 and new earths will be ours inside 20 years. 03:33 E.T., habitable planets 03:35 will soon be up with our new scopes. 03:39 A group of top NASA scientists 03:41 told the space agency chief yesterday that, 03:44 "The forthcoming generation of space telescopes 03:47 are likely to discover 03:48 habitable earths like earth like worlds, 03:52 and probably alien life perhaps within 20 years." 03:58 And if you go to The Great Controversy 04:00 and you read in page 624, 04:02 it talks about these last day events. 04:06 It says here that, 04:07 "Fearful sights of a supernatural nature 04:09 will soon be revealed in the heavens. 04:11 Fearful sights of a supernatural nature 04:14 revealed in the heavens. 04:15 The spirits of devils will go forth 04:17 to the kings of the earth 04:19 and to the whole world, to fasten them in deception, 04:23 and urge them on to unite with Satan 04:27 in his last great struggle. 04:30 By these agencies, rulers 04:32 and subjects will alike be deceived. 04:35 Persons will arise pretending to be Christ Himself, 04:38 and claiming the title and worship 04:41 which belongs to the world's Redeemer. 04:44 They will perform wonderful miracles of healing 04:47 and will profess to have revelations from heaven 04:51 contradicting this testimony of Scriptures..." 04:54 Boy, I'll tell you, this is being fulfilled today. 04:58 "The shout of triumph..." 04:59 As it goes on, this is The Great Controversy 624. 05:02 "The shout of triumph rings out upon the air:" 05:05 And I like to put the word waves. 05:07 They are waves 'cause today 05:08 we have the communication, right? 05:10 "Christ has come! Christ has come! 05:12 The people prostate themselves in adoration before him, 05:15 while he lifts up his hands 05:17 and pronounces a blessing upon them, 05:20 as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon the earth." 05:24 The voice, "His voice is soft and subdued, 05:27 yet full of melody. 05:28 In gentle, compassionate tones 05:30 he presents some of the same gracious, 05:33 heavenly truths which the Savior uttered, 05:36 he heals the diseases of the people, 05:38 and then he assumes character of Christ, 05:41 and then, in his assumed character of Christ, 05:44 he claims to have changed the Sabbath to Sunday, 05:47 and commands all to hallow that day." 05:49 And so that's from The Great Controversy page 624. 05:54 And the Bible also has this warning. 05:58 And it says in Matthew 5:4, 06:01 "For many shall come in my name saying, 06:03 I am Christ and shall deceive many. 06:06 For there shall arise false Christs, 06:08 and false prophets..." 06:09 This is continuing on in Matthew 24:24. 06:12 "For there shall arise false Christs, 06:14 and false prophets 06:15 and shall show great signs, great signs and wonders, 06:19 in so much that, if it were possible, 06:22 they would deceive the very elect." 06:24 To reiterate that statement from Great Controversy, 06:28 fearful sights of a supernatural nature 06:31 will soon, soon be revealed in the heavens, 06:35 and the same thing here, if it were possible, 06:38 they should show great signs and wonders so much, 06:40 if it were possible they should deceive the very elect. 06:45 As the crowning achievement, 06:49 act in the great drama of deception, 06:52 Satan himself will personate Christ. 06:55 Now the great deceiver will make it appear 06:56 that Christ is coming in different parts of the earth. 06:59 Satan will manifest himself among man 07:02 as a majestic being of dazzling brightness 07:05 resembling the description of the Son of God 07:09 given in John, the Revelator. 07:10 "The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything 07:14 that mortal eyes have seen or yet beheld. 07:17 The shout of triumph rings upon the air, Christ has come! 07:20 Christ has come!" 07:22 Well there is a telescope 07:24 that kind of fits in with these prophecies, 07:28 and it's in Mount Graham, Arizona. 07:31 And it's the biggest infrared telescope on planet earth. 07:34 Now an infrared can see warm bodies coming, okay? 07:38 Kodak doesn't, 07:39 I mean the Hubble has Kodak photo type photographs, 07:43 does not get the images like you 07:47 would get with, with infrared. 07:50 And this is a binocular telescope. 07:51 It's the world's biggest binocular telescope 07:54 on Mount Graham, Arizona, 07:56 and it has the name of it, 07:59 is created by an acronym 08:03 of the instruments on the telescope. 08:05 But its name is the Lucifer Telescope 08:07 and that happens to be an acronym 08:09 for the Large Binocular Infrared Telescope 08:12 and so forth. 08:13 I'd like to show you that picture now 08:15 and because it is huge 08:17 and you'll see it as the little man standing there, 08:20 showing you the size of this thing 08:22 and it is, it is huge, the biggest one on earth. 08:26 We are told that they expect to find aliens 08:30 with this infrared telescope. 08:33 They say that, you know, 08:38 mortals living here on earth were sinners, you know, 08:41 and we don't really understand the Bible like we should 08:44 and they're saying, if we could see alien 08:45 and this is what the, this is what they're saying. 08:47 The people, it's run by the Vatican by the way. 08:50 And if you read the books and if you do the research, 08:52 you'll discover that it's said, 08:55 that they will be able to find aliens out there 08:58 with this infrared telescope and maybe they could, you know, 09:00 pick them up before we can pick them up with the Hubble 09:03 because they are warm objects and not visible light objects. 09:07 And so they say that these, 09:10 when we discover these aliens that they're, you know, 09:12 they're going to be closer to God 09:14 because we're sinful, we're on this world, 09:15 we're sinful 09:17 and these aliens are gonna understand 09:18 the Bible better there, 09:19 they're going to be able what they say is 09:21 they're going to be able to reveal to us 09:23 better things about the scriptures 09:25 than we can understand and I've read, it says, 09:29 that we need to listen to them, and they say those, 09:32 if you don't listen to them, you'll be considered a heretic 09:35 because we're just mortal sinners, you see, 09:36 and these, these aliens will be closer to God. 09:41 And so you put that together with the Scriptures 09:43 that we've read and the references we have read 09:48 in The Great Controversy 09:50 and I just think while fearful 09:52 sights of a supernatural nature 09:55 will soon be revealed in the heavens. 09:59 Folks, we are at the end. 10:02 I think we're at the end of time. 10:05 And we see all around us every day. 10:09 Every day it seems like, 10:12 we're closer to the Second Coming of Christ, 10:16 and you know things just seem to be getting worse. 10:19 I think how can anything get worse it seems like every day. 10:22 It gets worse, yes, Jesus is coming soon. 10:25 I really believe that 10:27 and, but our topic today goes right along with this 10:31 and this is Life on Other Planets 10:35 but first, we have SETI, 10:37 Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, 10:40 which is an organization designed. 10:42 They're looking for life, can we get signals from space, 10:46 showing us that there is life out there. 10:49 And this SETI program, 10:51 they have been searching for nine years, 10:53 they've been studying 800 stars 10:55 and in like two billion channels a day, 10:58 they have, they're scanning these stars with scanners, 11:02 they kept looking for signals of intelligent life. 11:06 Now they got a di-do-di-dot-dot dot-dit-dit-dit 11:09 that would indicate intelligence out there. 11:12 Now that's Morse code. 11:13 That happens to be the Morse code for SOS. 11:17 But we have a new program out right now it's called 11:19 the Breakthrough Listen program, 11:21 it's a 10 year initiative with a 100 million in funding. 11:27 Beginning in July of 2015 is when it began 11:29 and actively searching 11:31 for intelligent extraterrestrial communications 11:33 in the universe. 11:36 And using the resources that had not previously been 11:40 extensively used for this purpose, 11:42 it has been described as the most comprehensive search 11:45 for alien life communicated, communication to date. 11:48 And so far we have not found anything. 11:51 And there is a famous guy with a name of Drake, 11:53 and he came up with an equation for you to, 11:56 it's a little fun thing to go through exercise, 11:58 to go through it to see, 12:00 what are the chances of life on earth? 12:01 And he has this Drake Equation which, you know, 12:05 one of the numbers you put into the number of galaxies, 12:08 stars in the Milky Way galaxy, 12:10 the number of planets you think might be in there, 12:13 the number of planets capable of supporting life 12:15 and the number of planets where life evolves 12:21 and a fraction where it evolves, 12:24 that could come up with intelligent life 12:26 and then another, 12:29 one of your entries here would be, 12:30 are they able to communicate and so forth. 12:32 And we actually have people in our building 12:34 where I rent that are, they go home at night 12:38 and they turn their computers on 12:39 and their computers pour through this data 12:41 because there's so much data when you listen to, 12:44 you know, like two billion channels a day. 12:47 You need a lot of computers to sort through this 12:49 and so far they haven't found any intelligent life out there. 12:55 And we've discovered well over 12:56 3,000 planets around other stars, 12:59 but you know, if they would take your DNA, 13:03 and take it out to Alpha Centauri, 13:05 the closest star any star out there, 13:07 and modulate a laser beam with your DNA 13:10 and send it back here, 13:12 tomorrow morning world headlines, 13:14 you know, we've discovered life in space 13:16 because what they're looking for is in your DNA. 13:21 It's coded information and it will show intelligence 13:25 or maybe if they just turned those telescopes around 13:27 point them at their heads, they might, you know, 13:29 find intelligence life on, may be questionable. 13:34 But what does the Bible have to say 13:36 about life on other planets? 13:37 Most Christians think there is no life, 13:40 that we are the only life in the universe, 13:42 we're the only planet in the universe. 13:45 Well, there are some really good scriptures that I think 13:48 we can make a case 13:49 that there are other inhabited planets out there. 13:52 And we need to be clear this is the only place there's sin 13:55 and if they're inhabited, they're not coming here, 13:57 if God has got his elect on other planets 14:03 and we're gonna show you some scripture for that. 14:05 If he's got his elect on other planets, 14:06 ain't there are coming here, 14:08 you know, they're not talking to us. 14:09 They don't need radio if they 14:12 got these intelligence of a angel, 14:16 and, so let's look at some scripture Nehemiah 9:6 14:20 says that he has made the heavens 14:22 with all their hosts. 14:24 Now that could be stars, 14:26 the hosts of heaven, that be star, 14:27 but what is the rest of the verse say, 14:30 "The host of heaven worship Him." 14:32 And I wouldn't think the stars 14:34 would necessarily be worshipping him, 14:36 but that's Nehemiah 9:6, that, 14:38 "He has made the heavens with all their hosts 14:40 and the heaven of heavens 14:42 and the hosts of heaven worship Him." 14:44 We can look at Hebrews, you know, 14:46 Hebrews 1:2 and 3, 14:48 and it's talking about Jesus, it said, 14:50 "He made the universe of worlds." 14:53 And if we go to, you know, Isaiah 45:18, it says that, 14:59 "He made the, He did not create the earth in vain, 15:03 He created it to be inhabited." 15:06 Well what about these 3,000 planets 15:08 and we probably have billions of planets out there, 15:11 were they created in vain 15:12 or were they created to be inhabited? 15:14 That's kind of an interesting scripture. 15:15 But Hebrews 11:3 says, 15:20 "Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed 15:22 by the word of God." 15:25 So here is another scripture, Hebrews 1:2 and 3, 15:30 Hebrews 11 talks about that. 15:32 We could look at Matthew 24:31, 15:34 this is an interesting scripture. 15:36 It's a very end of time and the very end of time, 15:39 what does Jesus do? 15:40 "He sends his angels with a great shout of a trumpet 15:44 and they shall gather together his elect," okay? 15:47 "From the four winds 15:49 and from one end of heaven to the other." 15:51 So God's talking about 15:52 gathering His elect from the earth, 15:55 from the four winds that's talking about the earth. 15:57 And from one, God has elect apparently 16:00 from one end of heaven to the other. 16:02 The Bible says we're a spectacle of the angels. 16:06 Now that was Matthew 24:31, 16:07 and we're gonna look at Mark 13 and it says 16:10 almost the same thing, again the very end of time. 16:13 Jesus, it says, and, 16:16 "Then shall you see the Son of Man 16:17 coming in the clouds 16:19 with power and great glory 16:20 and He shall send His angels 16:22 and shall gather together His elect from the four winds 16:26 and from the outermost part of earth 16:28 to the outermost part of heaven." 16:31 That sounds pretty inclusive, doesn't it? 16:32 The uttermost part of earth, His elect, 16:34 He's talking about His elect, the Bible seems, 16:37 you know, to talk about angels, 16:38 it talks about heavenly host, it talks about elects, 16:41 it talks about the Sons of God. 16:42 And that was in Mark 13: 26 and 27. 16:46 So we're building a case here that seems to indicate 16:49 that there's other life that is out there in space. 16:54 We can look at Luke 2:13, 16:57 as a Christmas story, and it says, 16:59 "And suddenly there was with the angel, 17:02 a multitude of Heavenly Host praising God." 17:06 That doesn't specify well, that may be angels, 17:08 it may be not angels. 17:10 We can look at Job 1:6. 17:12 And this was a space event, 17:13 this was a meeting outside of space, 17:15 outside of the earth away from the earth 17:17 and apparently is a big convocation 17:18 that happens on a regular basis. 17:21 And I can imagine that God's looking around 17:24 and everybody that's gathered there and He go, 17:25 "Oh, wait a minute! 17:27 Who are you and where are you from? 17:29 Identify yourself." And what's the response? 17:33 Satan says, "I'm Satan and I'm from earth, 17:36 going to and fro in the earth." 17:38 And this was a day when the Sons of God 17:41 came to present themselves before the Lord. 17:44 And in Job 2, it says the same thing, 17:46 again there was another day, 17:48 so this sounds like this is an event 17:50 that happens fairly regularly, 17:52 you know, maybe, we can speculate 17:55 every year, or six months, or something like this. 17:57 And so there was another day when the Sons of God 18:00 came to present themselves before the Lord, 18:01 Satan came also as a representative of earth. 18:05 He was standing, I think, if Adam had been alive, 18:08 Adam would have been there. 18:10 But Satan was, you know, the Bible tells us 18:12 he's the god of this world, 18:14 but you know that's not even capitalized, 18:16 he's not a God. 18:18 But he is the representative of this world, 18:20 and so he had gone to that meeting. 18:22 Now is a day when the Sons of God 18:24 came to represent themselves before the Lord. 18:26 There is a sense in which Adam was the Son of God 18:29 that you and I are not. 18:30 Now we can become the Sons of God. 18:32 The Bible tells us, now are we the Sons of God, 18:34 but there is a sense in which Adam was the Son of God 18:37 that you and I are not. 18:39 If you go through the genealogies of Christ, 18:41 you go back all the way back to Seth 18:43 and the Enoch and there's Adam which was the Son of God. 18:48 So there's a sense in which Adam 18:52 was the Son of God like you and I are not. 18:54 Could it be the day when the Sons of God apparently, 18:57 you know, Satan was the only one from earth. 19:00 Could it be that these Sons of God were Adams 19:03 from all other worlds out there? 19:11 In Luke 2:13, okay we already read that one. 19:14 Let's go on to the next one. 19:16 Revelation 12:12. 19:18 It kinds of deals with this because Revelation 12, 19:20 "Rejoice you heavens, 19:22 all you heavens rejoice out there." 19:23 Why? 19:25 Because Satan is cast out of heaven 19:27 and wander the earth because he's cast down to the earth. 19:31 We need to be clear, this is the only place 19:33 that there is sin 19:36 because the Bible says 19:37 and it's not going to happen again. 19:39 In Nahum 1:9, it says, 19:41 "Affliction shall not rise the second time." 19:44 The second, now that tells us, 19:45 this is the first time, doesn't it? 19:48 And so if God's got creatures out there, 19:50 they're not coming here, they're not coming, 19:52 they're not getting close to this contaminated world, 19:56 but they are able I believe to watch, 19:58 and we need to be clear. 20:00 This is the only place that there is sin. 20:03 In 1 Corinthians 4:9, it says, 20:05 "For we are made a spectacle to the angels 20:09 unto the world 20:10 and we are made spectacles to the worlds, 20:13 and to angels and to men." 20:17 So I believe there are inhabited worlds out there 20:22 that God has created. 20:24 You know, Isaiah 45:18 says, 20:26 "He made this earth to be inhabited. 20:28 He did not created in vain." 20:30 What about all these other planets 20:31 we're discovering out there? 20:33 All these other stars, 20:34 there're 100 billion in the Milky Way galaxy, 20:36 and a 100 billion galaxies. 20:39 We need to be clear, 20:40 this is the only place there's sin. 20:43 And but I think the Bible if we look at scripture. 20:47 There's evidence that God has other worlds out there 20:51 that are inhabited. 20:54 I'd like to share with you some prophecies of the Messiah. 20:59 And it is amazing when you look at the prophecy of the Messiah, 21:03 we have hundreds of prophecies about the Messiah. 21:06 And I was in, 21:09 attending a convention in Tucson, 21:12 and my next door neighbor goes to Tucson for a winter, 21:16 he and his wife go down there in winter 21:17 because they are, he's same age as I am. 21:20 And, but he is an atheist, a geologist. 21:24 And for years he would, he and his wife would, 21:28 kind of make fun of the Bible, make fun of the dietary laws, 21:33 the Leviticus, 21:34 now he's suffering from that right now 21:38 because he told me, he said, 21:40 he didn't know if he would see his next birthday 21:43 because his health isn't very good. 21:45 And, you know, that dietary laws of Leviticus 21:48 help you to live longer and live better 21:51 and I was in, I was in Tucson a year ago 21:55 and I had emailed him 21:56 and I said maybe we can get together 21:58 when you're down here for this convention. 21:59 And I emailed him and I tried to call him, 22:01 there was no answer and then I emailed him. 22:04 And I emailed him and I said, 22:08 "You know, this telescope convention," 22:11 I said, "if you and Marine would like to come, 22:13 I'll pay for your ticket, 22:15 and if you want be there on Sunday 22:17 and see all these telescopes, you know, 22:19 I'll pay for your ticket." 22:20 Well, he mailed me back and he said, I said, 22:23 "Oh, there's only one problem, 22:24 I know you're an atheist and this is on Church Street, 22:27 so that might be a problem." 22:29 And he emailed me back, he says, 22:30 "No, I'm not atheist, I'm an agnostic." 22:33 And I emailed him back I said, 22:34 "Well that's great because there's hope for an agnostic." 22:37 And so he emailed me back and said, 22:39 is there hope for the Christian? 22:41 And I said, "You know, 22:43 hope is when you buy the lottery ticket. 22:45 We have a more sure word of prophecy." 22:48 This was my response, you know, 22:51 I am more sure of the Bible 22:53 than I am as sure as I am in my name. 22:56 You know, we have a more sure, it's not hope, 22:58 it's whole much more than hope. 22:59 And when we look at the prophecy of the Messiah, 23:02 some people, mathematicians, 23:03 statisticians have worked on this, 23:05 and so for instance, 23:08 they say that Christ, Micah 5:2, 23:10 was born in Bethlehem 23:12 and they put the chances of any person on earth 23:15 fulfilling that prophecy 1 in 200,000. 23:18 He ended on a donkey, they put that at 1 in 100,000 23:22 and the fact he was sold for 30 pieces of silver 23:25 that was placed at 1 in 100,000. 23:28 I think it was Chuck Missler that worked this out 23:31 with some probability, mathematicians. 23:35 And what's interesting is that when you do this, 23:37 you have to multiply each product with the next one. 23:40 And as Chuck Missler use this illustration, he said, 23:42 "When people are getting on the airplane in the '70s, 23:45 we had bombings, one guy said to his friend, 23:47 he said, you know, 23:48 I've calculated the chance of bomb being on this plane 23:51 are 1 in a 1000. 23:53 And the other guy go, "Wow! Wait a minute. 23:54 That's a kind of scary. 23:56 And he said, "No, the chances of two bombs 23:59 being on the same plane are one in a million. 24:02 So I carry my own bomb." 24:04 Now we laugh at that, but it illustrates 24:06 when you have multiple prophecies 24:07 that have to be fulfilled. 24:09 We're looking at the first eight 24:11 and the, he was sold for thirty pieces, 24:13 the transaction took place in the temple, 24:17 one in 100,000, 24:19 at the time his birth was predicted, 24:22 he was innocent, he did not defend himself, 24:24 he was on death row. 24:26 What are the chances? 24:28 Anybody on death row today 24:29 gets buried in Bill Gates' mausoleum, 24:31 he was on death row. 24:33 He was buried with the rich. 24:35 He was crucified that was predicted 24:37 and that they have a 10,000 24:39 and yet crucifixion I understand 24:41 was not even practice when the prophecy was made. 24:44 And they pulled out his hair, spat in his face. 24:48 When we get down, okay, when we get down to crucified, 24:50 that is the first eight prophecies. 24:52 When you multiply that out, that's 10 to the 17th power. 24:56 The chances of any person on earth 24:58 fulfilling those eight prophecies 25:00 are the same as you filling the state of Texas 25:03 with silver dollars two feet high. 25:05 The chance of you walking through that state blindfold 25:08 and finding that silver dollar 25:10 is the same chances of any person born on earth 25:13 fulfilling those first eight prophecies. 25:15 But did you know what science says it could happen. 25:18 They say the chance is it still could happen, 25:20 there still is a possibility, 25:22 but the number that scientists 25:23 has come up with is 10 to the 50th. 25:25 If you get 10 to the 50th, 50 zeros, they say, 25:30 "Okay, we'll buy it." 25:32 It'll never happen. Well, we're 10 to the 17th. 25:36 If we take eight more prophecies 25:37 and we have I'm told sometimes, 25:39 200 to 300 prophecies about Christ 25:42 that Christ fulfilled the chances 25:45 of any person fulfilling that. 25:46 If we go to 16 prophecies, 25:49 the chances of any person fulfilling, 25:52 we are now at 10 to the 45th power. 25:55 When we get to 10 to the 50th 25:57 and that's only 16 prophecies, we get 10 to the 50th. 26:01 You know, the scientific mind would buy this. 26:03 I say, if you have a scientific mind, 26:05 if you will accept the rules that the scientists laid down, 26:08 10 to the 17th can happen, but 10 to the 50th, 26:10 they say okay, it's impossible. 26:12 And 10 to the 50th, it would maybe be like 26:14 covering the whole earth with, you know, 26:17 I don't know how thick it would be, 26:18 but covering the whole earth with silver dollars. 26:21 And so when my friend said, 26:22 "Is there hope for the believer?" 26:25 I have to say, it's more than hope. 26:28 Hope is when you buy the lottery ticket. 26:30 You hope you're going to win, 26:31 but we have a more sure word of prophecy. 26:34 We look at the prophecies, you know, 26:36 that we have in the Bible. 26:38 The prophecies of Daniel, the prophecies that, 26:41 you know, we see God knew ahead of a time 26:44 what was going to happen, and it's just not possible for 26:49 anybody on planet earth 26:51 to fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah. 26:53 So we have a more sure word and, folks, 26:56 I hope you have that same confidence. 26:58 You know, the Bible tells us that you can seek Him 27:02 and find Him if you search for Him 27:03 with all your heart. 27:05 This world folks is, is running down, 27:06 wearing out, it's deteriorating, 27:08 it's getting worse and worse and worse. 27:10 And we need to trust in the Lord. 27:12 We need to trust in Him 27:13 because He's coming back very soon 27:16 and once again, 27:18 these half hours they go so fast on 3ABN, 27:21 but I enjoy sharing the Heavens, 27:23 you probably figured that out by now. 27:25 But I want to encourage you to seek the Lord 27:28 while He may be found. 27:30 Call upon Him while He is near 27:32 and we'll be preparing the next program here on 3ABN. 27:35 We want to invite you to watch us 27:37 on Heavens Declare. 27:38 Thank you very much. |
