Evidence For Heaven

real life presents the Jack Kibs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth equip the saints and impact our culture you put up an embryo of a monkey put up an embryo of a giraffe put up the embryo of a human you pick it guess what they all look the same you know why cuz it came from the same mind it came from the same designer it means that he's the creator it doesn't mean that he didn't do it it means that his fingerprints are universally on everything you can get the outlines of this podcast by going to Jack Kibs dot com slash podcast today if this podcast lifts you up and

now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you here is Jack Kibs in a recent poll 121 people were asked if you died would you go to heaven 120 people said yes before one person said I think I'm going to hell so for every 120 people one of them had the honesty to say I don't think I'm gonna think I'm gonna make it by default the American interviewed on the street thinks he's going to heaven and we've we've taken heaven and we've made it almost something aboard them heaven oh yeah heaven yeah sure I'm going to heaven like it's nothing and yet from cover to cover of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation this book is a book of redemption you need to know that if you don't this book is all about getting you back into the presence of God now and forever God wrote this God provided it God made the way of salvation and it's God who extends the invitation come to heaven with me Jesus said come and follow me remarkable here's the funny thing you might feel better if I were to put up on the screens right now these are the 10 rules that you must obey to attend this church and eventually make it to heaven and people without faith will say right that down oh wait let me hold it let me take a picture of it let me copy that that's that's sick and dangerous but that's the human works mindedness of us trying to watch trying to get back to something that we know on the inside we've lost or we do not have listen doing good things people is a wonderful thing we need all of you you need me to do good things we want good citizens that's fantastic and you can't exactly fault the person holy who says I do good things so I can go to heaven their motives are wrong what they're trying to do though is a good thing and we appreciate that my argument is is not is that not a valid argument regarding heaven or not clearly it's not you can't go to heaven by being good but here's what I'm saying about the person that is driven to do good with hopefully be accepted by a God or God's to let them in is that they know down deep inside there's got to be some form of reformation some form of change in my life to do something that will maybe outweigh my bed so that I can win in the end and I'm just pointing that out as a virtue this way they are admitting by their actions that they have fallen out of friendship with heaven and they're trying to find their way back they will look to works they will look to effort they will look to good deeds because they know that there's a vacancy inside of them God turns and says regarding the reality of heaven that we all need to take notice that he has given us enough evidence this is where we're at last time where the atheist can debate the existence of God in heaven but it's futile the evidence is overwhelming I'm pretty sick and tired of people saying without any knowledge whatsoever you can't prove the existence of God I believe you actually can prove the existence of God if you just apply reason and logic what I mean by that is this that there's a natural witness that we learned about that God has created what has been created brilliant in its obvious somebody and you can listen you can use this in books of evolution and argumentation like that of a creation without God they will say oh you have to do to believe in evolution is to look at an embryo and they will put up an embryo of a monkey and I challenge here now don't do it normally I need to pay attention but do it later you put up an embryo of a monkey put up an embryo of a giraffe put up the embryo of a human put up the embryo of a rhinoceros you pick it you have to guess what they all look the same have you seen them and the evolutionals will say that's proof that evolution is true and they walk away like the one the argument oh the exact opposite is true the exact opposite is true so how do you how do you figure because the same God who claims in the Bible to be the creator of all life when you look at the embryo of a monkey or of a giraffe or a human it does look exactly the same you know why because it came from the same mind it came from the same designer why mess with a good thing apparently it works if God wants to make a giraffe this is how it goes it means that he's the creator it doesn't mean that he didn't do it it means that his fingerprints are universally on everything and when those things go and move and develop out of the stage of looking the same are they quite different or what thankfully so remarkable creation creation screams so I believe in science right on then you should bow your knee to Jesus if you do the evidence is overwhelming we looked at that last time secondly we saw last time that there's the personal witness of consciousness we had some fun with that because we talked about how you and I as humans we have obviously we have a consciousness we dream we wonder we write poems we we do you know whatever music and and letters and expression that comes from your consciousness from the spiritual side of who you are and we made mention of the fact that there's no bodily part of your physical existence that has the conscience department it's not by your right ear it's not over on the right side the middle the deep part of your brain it's not down around your thyroid it's nowhere near your pancreas it doesn't exist because you are functioning a bio machine for this world it's called your body and we focus on it we draw attention to it we put the odor on it and older you get the more deodorant you put on it the more the cologne why because you're dying you got to cover up the stink why because this body is dying but then notice the consciousness stays and the Bible tells us and by the way science tells us that at the moment of death it's interesting life the world will say that life ends the Bible says life left and when you die will heaven be your home will you be going there is the question there's a natural witness that says I'm God believing me I've made all of this there's the personal witness of consciousness where you think God thoughts and you wonder about God remarkable you and I talked about the joys and the hopes and the expressions but being human we're also able to confess the conviction and the guilt and the shame that's in us the personal witness of consciousness and this is where we left off last time here we go we're diving into this now the third one is the divine witness of revelation so what do mean divine witness of revelation God's divine testimony witness revelation of his revealed will which is called the Bible the word of God so God has given us and he's given you three witnesses I love this because the Bible says before two or three witnesses the truth shall be established doesn't it say that there's the natural witness of God's existence there is your conscience the fact that you are a body soul and spirit and thirdly there's the revelation of God's word and you might say well pastor that's where I have our time I don't believe I think the Bible's a bunch of fairy tales that's what you believe that's what you think but on what basis have you come to that conclusion who told you that a professor at school a neighbor where did you read that how do you know this on what authority so we just asked these questions and why is this important because we're talking about the topic of heaven and hell ladies and gentlemen we need a bit we need to build a foundation as to why you should depart from your life that is taking you on the path of hell in destruction and you need to understand why you should get on the road and get the straight and narrow way Jesus said by the way that's not the that's not the boring and in tedious way the straight and narrow is the way that is what he calls it to be I got to argue with you it's the most exciting fulfilling way of all but you need to know and I understand this you have to understand me when I tell you this that the message you hear today you may not ever come back to this church again and I want you to know I'm doing this intentionally not to drive you away but to have this last opportunity to make sure that you know the truth okay that's some that's the great if I if I am called to show you love I'm loving you right now because I'm giving you the truth that you'll have to talk to God about even though you may hate me forever that's fine with me if you know the truth the number one thing out of the four I'm gonna give you four things right now the historicity of the Bible can you trust the Bible the historicity or the historical record of the Bible should I put my faith in what God has said in the Bible well let's look at the history and I'll give you a few because time doesn't allow me to go through much history history the Bible says let's talk about history the Bible says for example there was a king by the name of Nibbiannazer well forget about the Bible do museums and other forms of literature and evidence say that there was a king named Nibbiannazer yeah what about the Persian Empire the Bible says there's a Persian Empire is there evidence to substantiate the historicity of the Bible of course museums are filled with Persian artifacts from its governing Empire what about King David you ever heard about heard that guy before King David there used to be a program some years ago called the naked archaeologist he claimed to tell you the naked truth about all things that he wouldn't lie to you and he didn't lie but he had an atheistic background he's Jewish you some of you know whom I'm talking about and he does he's not fond of the Bible when he did a show on it he would make fun of the Bible and that's fine until when one time he did a program and he said there was no David if there was a David he was a little boy guys who created a myth and then he became a legend it's all trumped up stuff until archaeology which will touch on in a moment brought forth evidence that revealed not only David and met in writings of David but you can get on airplane right now fly 15 hours L.A. to Tel Aviv get out and we could drive to Jerusalem's about 45 minute drive up the mountain and before we get to the main city we'll stop at the old city of David it's been completely unearthed and you can walk through his rooms so then why are you not a believer there's also the archaeological evidence of God's revelation archaeology is a science you know and so you read an area in the Bible this is kind of fun all of us have heard of the Valley of Armageddon but you may not be aware of how incredibly beautiful it is it looks so much like almost identical to a giant version of you know where Monterey is Monterey here California Monterey you know Salinas you know where the grapes of wrath John Steinbeck remember that you don't talk about up there isn't it beautiful there's artichokes there's lettuce this side of the street this side of the street tomato that side of the street broccoli this side of the street asparagus it's amazing Miguel Armageddon where the last battle will be on earth beautiful did you know that there are archaeological places where we go to on our trips hits are for one or Miguel why because there's massive stables that have been on earth that are 3,000 years old tons of them to hold hundreds and hundreds of horses and garages this is all underground garages that held hundreds and hundreds of chariots you know who own them good Solomon own them what did God say to Solomon Solomon I love you you're amazing and for you asking for nothing for yourself in your prayer I'm gonna give you all that stuff and I'm gonna give you wisdom and I'm gonna bless you no one's gonna be able to rival you I'm gonna be good to you Solomon right on it's awesome and you know Solomon is the wisest man that's ever lived and yet God told him I'm gonna bless your life as long as you don't add to yourself horses because you're gonna trust in those weapons of war and not me so I'll take care of the nation don't trust in your craft carriers and in your submarines I got you oh and you know what your chariots don't trust in your tanks I got you because when you put your trust in those things you'll forget me oh and one of the things Solomon I'll give you a wife one don't add to yourself women so what do you do when you go to McGuetto or our hits or and you dig you find stables and you find out that the Bible warned us that so how many I'm lost count how many wives did he have 700 was it over 700 and then that's not to mention two or three hundred concubines you have 700 women that are designated to be your wife and then you have 300 sex toys women that's all they're for you realize you do the math I don't know you can do the math I can't but you figure out man if you're gonna go in a date with Solomon if you're in that harem you might go out with him like once every eight years is that weird God said don't do that what did he do he did it he did it and when you dig archaeological evidence shows you so why aren't you not a believer eschatological arguments not gonna be labor this God writes the future down in advance it's called Bible prophecy and today one of the greatest growing superpowers in the world is Israel since 1948 a nation born twice exactly as the Bible said fourthly is what's known as the ontological argument this is the it's a big word but it means a reasonable things that are reasonably obvious things that are reasonably obvious an ontological argument is that it's reasonably obvious that these chairs were built for you to sit in you see this ridiculous why is it ridiculous it's so simple and obvious that it's ridiculous right so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to Sacramento how are you gonna go there I'm gonna walk why would you walk when you can take a plane because you get there faster if you take a plane that's an obvious reality you'll get there faster if you take a plane there are things that are so obvious that they're there in front of you and it's crystal clear I shared this with you guys last week I think I get so confused because I teach differently it almost each service it depends on how much food I haven't have and by third service I start to lose my mind but this is obvious to me this is obvious that there's a god god the father god the son god the Holy Spirit we don't worship three gods we worship one god who reveals himself in three personalities three persons he's one god so don't get it yes you do yes you do because when I man is this what I said last week yeah remember when a man connects with a female in there's I saw some young faces some do my best I can right now when I'm when when daddy and mommy are gonna wrestle for a for a moment at at what's happening you've got the creation taking place and and in a sense you have three pregnancy you have three and one you have three and one you've got one inside the other inside the other it's amazing to me that's crystal clear it's not a problem god has revealed these truths to us that we should no struggle with this jack hips podcast as well as all the broadcasts out reach opportunities are
