00:19 >>John Bradshaw: This is It Is Written.
00:21 I'm John Bradshaw. Thanks for joining me.
00:24 In the late 1960s, the Cuyahoga River
00:27 running through Cleveland, Ohio, was...it was in a real mess.
00:33 Steel mills and oil companies and paint manufacturers and more
00:37 dotted its banks.
00:39 And the river bore the brunt of a booming industrial sector.
00:42 To say the river was polluted is an understatement.
00:46 It was an ecological disaster, and everyone knew it.
00:50 Fish couldn't survive in it.
00:53 But a dirty river equated with successful companies,
00:56 and successful companies provided a lot of jobs
00:59 and hired a lot of workers.
01:01 So when the Cuyahoga River caught fire in 1969--
01:06 caught fire, the river--
01:09 no one was surprised.
01:11 In fact, by 1969 there were real efforts being made
01:13 by the mayor of Cleveland, Carl Stokes, and others
01:16 to clean up the river.
01:18 Clevelanders were used to the perilous state of the Cuyahoga.
01:22 In fact, it caught fire many times over the years.
01:25 The 1969 fire, which burned for about 20 minutes,
01:28 didn't really get much attention at the time.
01:32 Right around that time people were starting to look
01:34 for solutions for the troubles ailing the world.
01:37 In 1957 the Natural History Museum described
01:40 the River Thames as it flowed through London, England,
01:43 as "biologically dead," unable to support life.
01:48 Around that time, a prominent newspaper in London,
01:50 the Guardian, described the river
01:52 as "a badly managed open sewer."
01:56 So there were some problems.
01:58 And there still are.
01:59 There are rivers around the world today
02:01 that are monumentally polluted,
02:03 and many people have to bathe in them,
02:04 even drink the water from them,
02:06 even though it's been fouled by industrial pollution.
02:10 And people die as a result.
02:12 The air above many cities is deadly.
02:15 According to researchers from Boston College
02:17 and the Public Health Foundation of India, nearly 1 in 5 deaths
02:22 in India in 2019 could be attributed to air pollution.
02:27 That's a staggering amount.
02:28 But here's the question:
02:30 What can we do about all this? Can we fix it?
02:34 A little over 30 miles outside Tucson, Arizona,
02:37 is something that was once known as Biosphere 2.
02:41 The idea was to build
02:43 an artificial closed ecological system,
02:46 a place that was entirely independent from the outside.
02:51 There'd be a rainforest,
02:52 an ocean, albeit a very small ocean,
02:55 mangrove wetlands, and more.
02:58 It was meant to be a model that would demonstrate
03:00 how life could be supported in outer space.
03:04 But...they weren't able to produce enough food or oxygen.
03:08 Animals and plants died off.
03:11 There were interpersonal challenges
03:13 as people were confined together in the biosphere
03:15 for many months.
03:17 It was never meant to be heaven on earth,
03:20 but it was intended to demonstrate
03:22 how people could live on earth-- or in space--while avoiding
03:26 the usual ecological problems that challenge our world.
03:30 But in spite of all the money spent,
03:32 in spite of all the science employed,
03:35 the biosphere wasn't the solution to the problems
03:39 facing our world.
03:41 So what is?
03:43 Now, let's be honest, not negative, not cynical,
03:47 but honest.
03:49 World leaders have been trying to fix our planet for...
03:53 well, to be honest, for not very long at all.
03:56 But even though most people have figured out
03:58 it's probably not best that we conduct world wars
04:01 every few decades, no one's under the illusion
04:04 that we have peace in the world,
04:06 for the simple fact that...we don't.
04:09 There have been many attempts to bring peace to the Middle East,
04:12 but peace is as elusive as it's ever been.
04:15 You don't have to be any kind of environmentalist
04:17 to realize that there are some real issues with the planet.
04:21 Something called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
04:25 floats between California and Hawaii.
04:28 It's made up of a gargantuan amount of plastic waste.
04:33 No one thinks that's not a bad thing.
04:36 But if you think that's bad,
04:38 it's said that there are five zones like it
04:41 in the world's oceans,
04:42 where plastic is accumulating in mind-boggling amounts.
04:46 We're facing problems we just don't have solutions for:
04:49 pandemics--and there have been several in recent years--
04:53 terrorism, major health problems like suicide and depression
04:57 and diabetes and cancer and heart disease.
05:00 Now, I'm gonna tell you there is a solution.
05:03 It's the ultimate remedy.
05:06 And it isn't as far away as you might think.
05:09 Here's what Jesus said in John 14:1-3.
05:14 "Let not your heart be troubled;
05:17 "you believe in God, believe also in me.
05:21 "In my Father's house are many mansions;
05:24 "if it were not so, I would have told you.
05:27 "I go to prepare a place for you.
05:30 "And if I go and prepare a place for you,
05:33 "I will come again and receive you to myself;
05:36 that where I am, there you may be also."
05:40 Now, don't get me wrong.
05:41 I'm not suggesting nothing can be done or nothing
05:44 should be done to alleviate the problems facing the world.
05:47 Far from it.
05:49 But if you're looking for solutions,
05:51 there's no question that there's only one place
05:53 to find a solution for what ails our world,
05:56 and that's the return of Jesus.
06:01 Georgetown University reports that 65 million people die
06:06 each year in the world.
06:08 That's 178,000 every day,
06:12 7,425 each hour,
06:15 and 120 people a minute.
06:18 In the United States, 2.6 million people die a year.
06:22 That's 7,123 each day,
06:26 297 an hour,
06:28 5 people a minute,
06:30 1 every 12 seconds.
06:32 What are you going to do to end that?
06:35 Nothing.
06:36 In fact, patient safety experts at Johns Hopkins University
06:40 claim that 250,000 people die every year in the United States
06:45 due to medical errors.
06:48 That's roughly 1 every 2 minutes.
06:51 But even if people live longer, they're still gonna die.
06:55 We simply can't stop it.
06:57 Cemeteries are filling up.
07:00 But look with me; here's the fix.
07:02 Revelation 21:4 says,
07:04 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
07:09 "and there shall be no more death,
07:12 "neither sorrow, nor crying,
07:14 "neither shall there be any more pain:
07:17 for the former things are passed away."
07:20 How about that? No more death.
07:24 If it seems impossible to imagine,
07:26 that's because it's all we've ever known.
07:29 But one day, no more death, no more funerals or funeral songs,
07:35 no more burials, they simply won't happen.
07:39 And can we be sure of that?
07:41 Oh, yes, we can.
07:42 First Corinthians 15:26 says,
07:45 "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
07:49 Death will be gone one day.
07:51 Right now there are people sitting
07:53 in hospital waiting rooms hoping to hear some good news
07:56 from a physician or a nurse.
07:58 There are people getting news all the time
07:59 that a loved one is now on hospice care.
08:02 Hey, thank God for hospice workers.
08:04 They're some of the kindest, most patient people
08:06 I've ever met.
08:07 But, but one day, they're going to be out of a job.
08:11 One day, emergency room physicians, funeral directors,
08:15 ambulance drivers, paramedics, coroners,
08:19 they're all going to be out of work.
08:21 So what is it that's going to put hospitals and nursing homes
08:24 and clinics out of business?
08:27 I'll tell you in just a moment.

09:09 >>John Bradshaw: Thanks for joining me on It Is Written.
09:11 One day, every doctor alive is gonna be out of a job,
09:17 every last one.
09:19 The same is true for firefighters and nurses
09:22 and EMTs.
09:23 There'll be no military, no 911 operators, no police.
09:28 So what's going to happen to cause that?
09:31 Look with me at 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4;
09:34 we'll start in verse 15:
09:36 "For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
09:40 "that we which are alive and remain unto the coming
09:43 "of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
09:47 "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven
09:50 "with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
09:53 "and with the trump of God:
09:54 "and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
09:58 "then we which are alive and remain
10:00 "shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
10:03 "to meet the Lord in the air:
10:05 "and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
10:08 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
10:11 The great truth of the Bible is that one day
10:15 Jesus is gonna return to this world.
10:18 And it isn't gonna happen tomorrow,
10:19 but it is going to happen-- and we would say soon.
10:24 I'll tell you in a moment why we know that.
10:26 But let's consider what the return of Jesus
10:28 means to the world.
10:30 A moment ago I showed you that the Bible says
10:32 that after Jesus comes back, there'll be no more death.
10:36 It also said no more sorrow or crying or pain.
10:40 Think about that!
10:42 The things that cause you sorrow, what are they?
10:45 Well, there'll be no more loss when Jesus returns,
10:48 nothing to make you cry, no unkindness,
10:51 no, no isolation, no rejection, and there'll be no pain.
10:56 So there'll be no more backache or arthritis pain
10:58 or sore throats or headaches,
11:00 for the simple fact that Jesus is going to return to this world
11:05 and eradicate sin and everything sin causes.
11:09 It'll cease to exist.
11:12 And when Jesus returns,
11:13 there's going to be a reunion like you've never imagined.
11:16 Think about it: seeing family again--
11:18 a spouse, parents, grandparents, children,
11:22 siblings, friends.
11:25 What a day!
11:27 Writing to the church in Corinth, Paul wrote,
11:30 "Behold, I shew you a mystery;
11:33 "we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
11:36 "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
11:40 "for the trumpet shall sound,
11:42 "and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
11:45 "and we shall be changed.
11:47 "For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
11:49 "and this mortal must put on immortality.
11:53 "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
11:55 "and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
11:58 "then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
12:02 "'Death is swallowed up in victory.'
12:04 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?'"
12:10 That's 1 Corinthians 15:51-55.
12:13 Paul knew how encouraging this was.
12:16 One day the pain of this world will be behind us.
12:20 The discouragements and the injustices and the challenges
12:24 that have plagued us will one day have come to an end.
12:28 Jesus is coming back.
12:30 He's gonna make the wrongs right.
12:32 He's going to heal our hurts.
12:34 In fact, He's gonna take us out of here and take us home
12:39 to be with Him forever.
12:41 And this gives us hope.
12:43 It's why Paul wrote to the Thessalonians and said,
12:46 "Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
12:50 Paul knew this subject would bring you comfort,
12:53 and it should.
12:54 There's coming a time
12:55 when you'll be clothed with eternal youth.
12:58 Mortality will be replaced with immortality.
13:01 As far back as the book of Job, this subject was offering hope.
13:05 And we think that Job was the first book of the Bible
13:07 to be written.
13:08 In the midst of his anguish and suffering,
13:10 as he struggled with an incurable illness
13:12 that wracked his body,
13:14 as he contended with the discouragement heaped upon him
13:17 by his so-called friends, Job said,
13:20 "For I know that my Redeemer lives,
13:23 "and He shall stand at last on the earth;
13:26 "and after my skin is destroyed, this I know,
13:30 that in my flesh I shall see God."
13:33 That's Job 19, verses 25 and 26.
13:37 Now, think of what this means to you and me.
13:40 We're on this earth a little less than 80 years on average.
13:44 Can the road seem difficult at times?
13:47 Well, yes, it can.
13:48 Do people experience trials and disappointments?
13:52 They sure do.
13:53 What about that young man who died in an accident
13:55 in his early 20s?
13:57 The young woman who died from cancer in her early 30s?
14:01 How do you make sense of that?
14:03 You really can't, except that Jesus said in Matthew 13
14:07 that "an enemy has done this,"
14:10 and except as you remember that there's, there's better ahead.
14:14 This world simply isn't all that there is.
14:17 Imagine if it was?
14:19 Imagine if a person genuinely believed
14:22 that all they had was this world.
14:24 Anyone who truly believed that
14:26 would have to be supremely committed to altruism--
14:29 or supremely committed to selfishness.
14:32 If you really believe that this world is all that you have,
14:35 it makes no sense to be half-hearted.
14:38 Every minute you sit still is a minute less
14:41 that you have to squeeze all you can out of life.
14:44 But the believer in the Bible knows that this world
14:47 is not all you have.
14:48 There's a world to come.
14:51 Beyond this life is a life that stretches into eternity.
14:55 If you don't believe that, try to make sense of life.
14:59 Without a worldview that encompasses a resurrection
15:02 at the return of Jesus,
15:04 you've got a life on earth that expires with your final breath.
15:09 You might try to tell me that that life isn't futile.
15:13 Well, I'm gonna have a hard time believing ya.
15:17 David said--and these are profound words--he said,
15:21 "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
15:25 "that I would see the goodness of the Lord
15:28 in the land of the living."
15:30 Psalm 27, verse 13.
15:32 He's saying, "There's something that got me through
15:35 my difficult time."
15:36 If you read Psalm 27,
15:38 you'll see that David is talking about some real challenges:
15:42 adversaries and violence and trouble.
15:44 He faced a lot of that.
15:46 And he said that what got him through
15:48 was the hope that there was a better day ahead.
15:52 A crew member fell overboard as a cargo ship made a supply run
15:56 to Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific recently.
16:00 It seems that he fainted.
16:02 Fifty-two-year-old Vidam Perevertilov
16:04 went into the water at about 4:00 a.m.
16:07 And he struggled to stay afloat.
16:09 When the sun came up
16:10 and he saw an old fishing buoy floating in the distance,
16:14 he swam to it and grabbed hold of it.
16:17 He waited in the hot summer sun for help to arrive.
16:20 It took the ship's crew six hours to even realize
16:24 someone was missing.
16:26 And when they did, they turned back to try to find him.
16:29 Miraculously, they spotted him.
16:31 They came alongside and plucked him from the water.
16:35 What kept him going was grabbing hold of something
16:38 that he knew was his only hope of survival.
16:41 He held on and trusted that he'd be saved.
16:45 Sometimes when things look rough,
16:47 you've got to just grab hold of God
16:50 and trust that He'll save you,
16:52 trust that He'll come alongside you
16:54 and pluck you out of the difficulties that you're facing.
16:57 That's what God will do one day soon,
17:02 because Jesus is coming back soon.
17:06 But how can you know that it's gonna be a good day for you
17:09 when Jesus returns?
17:10 In a moment, I'll introduce you to a group of people
17:14 for whom the return of Jesus is very bad news.
17:18 And I'll tell you how you can sleep at night
17:21 knowing the return of Jesus will be good news for you.

19:04 >>John Bradshaw: The Bible describes the return of Jesus
19:06 to this world as "the blessed hope."
19:09 Paul used those very words when he wrote to Titus,
19:12 a young church leader on what's now the Greek island of Crete
19:16 in the Mediterranean Sea.
19:18 Paul wrote these words in Titus, chapter 2:
19:21 "For the grace of God that brings salvation
19:24 "has appeared to all men, teaching us that,
19:27 "denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
19:31 "we should live soberly, righteously, and godly
19:34 "in the present age,
19:36 "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing
19:39 "of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
19:43 "who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us
19:46 "from every lawless deed and purify for Himself
19:49 His own special people, zealous [of] good works."
19:53 Now, notice what Paul wrote:
19:56 God's grace has appeared to all, and God's grace teaches us
20:00 to deny "ungodliness and worldly lusts,"
20:04 and it teaches us to "live soberly, righteously, and godly"
20:08 as we look for "the blessed hope," the return of Jesus.
20:14 "The blessed hope."
20:15 But notice that Paul emphasizes preparation for Jesus' return.
20:20 It's a thing you see all throughout the Bible.
20:23 It's sobering to realize there'll be an immense group
20:25 of people who are not ready for the return of Jesus.
20:30 John describes them in Revelation, chapter 6,
20:32 as saying to the mountains and rocks,
20:35 "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him
20:39 "who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
20:43 "For the great day of His wrath has come,
20:45 and who is able to stand?"
20:49 Now, there's a question.
20:51 The answer is...
20:53 you are able to stand.
20:56 I'll tell you how.
20:57 In Matthew 24 we read the signs of the return of Jesus.
21:03 The disciples asked Him,
21:04 "What will be the sign of Your coming,
21:07 and of the end of the age?"
21:08 That's Matthew 24:3.
21:10 Now, in response, Jesus mentioned false christs.
21:14 He said "nation [would] rise [up] against nation,
21:16 and kingdom against kingdom."
21:18 He spoke of famines, pestilences, earthquakes,
21:21 persecution, false prophets, people being deceived.
21:26 He said that even the very elect might be deceived.
21:30 Jesus stated that people on the earth
21:32 "shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven
21:36 with power and great glory."
21:38 Matthew 24:30.
21:39 He said the elect will be gathered "from the four winds,"
21:42 and then He segued to mention of the flood in Noah's day,
21:47 referring to how some people in that day were saved
21:50 and some were lost.
21:52 People with the same opportunities,
21:54 some saved, some lost.
21:57 In verse 44 of Matthew 24, Jesus said,
22:01 "Therefore you also be ready,
22:04 for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
22:09 This question of being ready for the return of Jesus
22:12 is a big question in the Bible.
22:15 God wants you to be ready.
22:18 The next chapter, Matthew 25,
22:20 opens with the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.
22:24 Even though all of the young women slept,
22:26 which is an interesting commentary
22:28 on the state of the church in earth's last days,
22:31 it was the young women with oil in their lamps
22:34 that were able to go in to the wedding feast.
22:36 That oil represents the Holy Spirit,
22:40 without whom we simply cannot be saved.
22:43 So we want to have, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit.
22:49 And how do you receive the Holy Spirit?
22:51 This is Luke 11 in verse 13:
22:53 "If you then, being evil,
22:55 "know how to give good gifts to your children,
22:57 "how much more will your heavenly Father
23:02 give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
23:05 You ask, and God pours the Holy Spirit into you,
23:10 bringing the presence of Jesus into your life.
23:13 Now, the second parable in Matthew 25,
23:16 that shows us how to be ready for the return of Jesus,
23:20 it's the parable of the talents--where God asks,
23:24 what are you doing with the talents God has given you?
23:28 Your time, your abilities, your spiritual gifts,
23:32 your money, your mental faculties,
23:35 your speech, your influence, and more--
23:39 what are you doing with those?
23:42 Have you consecrated them to God?
23:44 Or are you simply using them for your own benefit?
23:48 People who are serious about honoring God
23:50 will lay it all on the altar.
23:52 They'll recognize that what they have was loaned to them by God
23:56 and that they're only managers,
23:58 stewards of the blessings that God has given.
24:01 It's important to remember that.
24:04 And there's a third parable in Matthew 25,
24:06 the one where Jesus tells people that they fed Him,
24:10 clothed Him, gave Him something to drink,
24:13 took Him into their homes,
24:14 visited Him while He was in prison.
24:17 Jesus calls them the sheep, and He says,
24:21 "Come, you blessed of my Father,
24:23 "inherit the kingdom prepared for you
24:26 from the foundation of the world."
24:28 Matthew 25:34.
24:30 Those who refused to do those things,
24:33 Jesus says they are goats.
24:36 They're not ready to enter His eternal kingdom,
24:38 and they gave evidence that they weren't converted
24:42 by the way they treated others.
24:45 When you receive the Holy Spirit into your life,
24:48 when your lamp is filled with oil,
24:50 God's presence fills your life, and this will impact you.
24:55 Your talents will be consecrated to God.
24:58 You'll have a heart that sees Jesus in others
25:01 and ministers to them and to Him.
25:05 God wants to transform your life.
25:07 He does that through the presence of Jesus in your life.
25:11 This is why Paul described the mystery of the gospel
25:14 as "Christ in you, the hope of glory"
25:17 in Colossians 1:27.
25:19 When you're born again, when you accept Jesus as your Savior,
25:24 when you surrender your life to Him,
25:27 you can have the confidence that the blessed hope
25:31 is going to be blessed for you.
25:33 Jesus is coming back soon.
25:36 We don't have time to waste.
25:38 You want to be ready.
25:40 God wants you to be ready.
25:42 Surrender your heart to Him now,
25:45 and you've got everything to look forward to.

26:21 >>John Bradshaw: Let's pray together now.
26:22 Our Father in heaven, we want to tell You right now
26:25 that we want to be ready for the return of Jesus.
26:28 We want to live in the hope of His soon return
26:32 and know that when Jesus comes back,
26:34 we are gonna be with Him and with You forever.
26:38 Now, friend, you know the way to readiness.
26:40 It's faith in Jesus, accepting Him into your heart,
26:43 allowing Jesus to live His life in you
26:47 so that not our will but His will is done.
26:50 Friend, can you make that surrender right now?
26:52 If you can, would you lift your heart up to God?
26:55 Would you pray, "Heavenly Father,
26:56 take my life and make it Yours. Jesus, live in my heart"?
27:01 Friend, if you can pray that prayer right now,
27:03 then you can face the future
27:04 knowing that when Jesus comes back,
27:06 eternity stretches before you,
27:09 and that you'll be with Jesus forever and ever and ever.
27:13 So, Father, we're gonna alter that prayer a little bit.
27:16 We started by saying we want to be ready,
27:18 and now we say thank You
27:20 for the reality of readiness for heaven.
27:24 We look forward to Jesus coming back.
27:25 Let that day come soon.
27:27 We pray with John, who wrote the book of Revelation and said,
27:30 "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!"
27:34 And we pray in Jesus' name, amen.
27:38 Thank you so much for joining me.
27:39 I'm looking forward to seeing you again next time.
27:41 Until then, remember:
27:43 "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone,
27:48 but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'"
