00:00:00.571 --> 00:00:09.178
Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs Podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the saints, and impact our culture.

2
00:00:09.578 --> 00:00:13.701
God is done giving prophetic revelation.

3
00:00:14.321 --> 00:00:17.844
He is not going to reveal or add to the scriptures.

4
00:00:18.504 --> 00:00:19.245
He said that.

5
00:00:20.005 --> 00:00:20.786
You know Bible prophecy?

6
00:00:20.806 --> 00:00:21.587
You will not be deceived.

7
00:00:21.887 --> 00:00:23.368
You will not be deceived.

8
00:00:26.868 --> 00:00:32.813

9
00:00:33.413 --> 00:00:42.160
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five-star ratings.

10
00:00:42.580 --> 00:00:45.643
To us, that's like saying amen or yes.

11
00:00:46.023 --> 00:00:48.465
Then that rating will encourage others to listen.

12
00:00:49.185 --> 00:00:52.088
Now open your hearts to what God's Word has to say to you.

13
00:00:52.568 --> 00:00:53.929
Here is Jack Hibbs.

14
00:00:55.250 --> 00:01:00.892
Don't let the danger of fearing biblical prophecy derail you.

15
00:01:01.052 --> 00:01:02.072
Don't let that happen.

16
00:01:04.893 --> 00:01:16.656
Just because when you open it up, for example, you'll see in the book of Daniel, we shall see later on, or maybe in the book of Revelation, and a dragon rose up out of the sea.

17
00:01:18.316 --> 00:01:20.077
And it had ten heads.

18
00:01:23.298 --> 00:01:25.100
And out of its mouth, and you go, what?

19
00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:26.381
Now, it's funny.

20
00:01:26.521 --> 00:01:31.305
We will go to a movie at the theater and pay extra for that.

21
00:01:32.226 --> 00:01:37.371
And eat popcorn while we're looking at Godzilla.

22
00:01:40.093 --> 00:01:46.860
But God says, if you keep reading, he begins to tell you the dragon that you saw.

23
00:01:47.921 --> 00:01:49.182
It explains itself.

24
00:01:50.366 --> 00:01:57.110
People see the first, a dragon, a fiery red dragon, and they stop reading.

25
00:01:58.771 --> 00:02:00.592
But if it was any other book, you'd keep reading.

26
00:02:02.273 --> 00:02:04.714
You say, well, this Bible, I mean, this Bible's true.

27
00:02:04.875 --> 00:02:05.655
Yes, it is true.

28
00:02:06.636 --> 00:02:11.639
And the Bible says that there's a devil, and God shows you what he's like.

29
00:02:13.119 --> 00:02:15.101
Satan is not a dragon.

30
00:02:15.761 --> 00:02:16.341
You understand that?

31
00:02:18.022 --> 00:02:18.823
He's not a dragon.

32
00:02:18.843 --> 00:02:19.283
He's not a dragon.

33
00:02:19.883 --> 00:02:22.224
He is like a dragon.

34
00:02:22.444 --> 00:02:24.824
The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus.

35
00:02:27.605 --> 00:02:28.645
That means he's not a dove.

36
00:02:30.826 --> 00:02:31.846
We know this immediately.

37
00:02:32.626 --> 00:02:33.986
The Holy Spirit's not a dove.

38
00:02:35.067 --> 00:02:37.867
And a dove didn't land on Jesus when he was baptized.

39
00:02:38.727 --> 00:02:45.069
The Holy Spirit came upon Jesus after being baptized by John like a dove.

40
00:02:45.189 --> 00:02:46.649
And immediately rules out a dove.

41
00:02:47.210 --> 00:02:47.870
Isn't that interesting?

42
00:02:48.530 --> 00:02:48.930
Kind of fun.

43
00:02:49.912 --> 00:02:50.452
Kind of fun.

44
00:02:51.553 --> 00:02:59.095
John chapter 13 verse 19 says, Now I tell you before it comes that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am.

45
00:02:59.115 --> 00:03:05.337
The he should be capitalized because it's been inserted by the translators.

46
00:03:07.278 --> 00:03:14.000
Now I tell you before it comes that when it does come to pass, you may believe that ego emi.

47
00:03:15.071 --> 00:03:22.936
In Greek, ego e me is the I am that I am that Moses spoke to in the burning bush.

48
00:03:23.156 --> 00:03:24.897
Same word, same person.

49
00:03:26.218 --> 00:03:28.419
Does that kind of freak you out?

50
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:29.440
It should freak some of you out.

51
00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:30.321
Say, what?

52
00:03:31.401 --> 00:03:35.224
When Moses was talking to the burning bush, by the way, you know, we make fun of him.

53
00:03:35.244 --> 00:03:37.545
He's talking to the burning bush like he's weird.

54
00:03:39.146 --> 00:03:41.487
The burning bush, God was not the bush.

55
00:03:42.618 --> 00:03:43.779
The bush was burning.

56
00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:46.021
Moses talked to the bush.

57
00:03:46.601 --> 00:03:49.783
I don't think Moses said, what a nice bush you are.

58
00:03:51.445 --> 00:03:56.368
God, you know, God, I think God assumes we're smarter than that.

59
00:03:57.669 --> 00:04:05.875
The reason why Moses tells us why he talked to the bush, he said moments earlier, I see a bush burning.

60
00:04:06.925 --> 00:04:09.366
And it's burning and it's not being consumed.

61
00:04:10.306 --> 00:04:16.629
So Moses went to go to see what was going on with this bush that won't burn out.

62
00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:24.031
And out of that burning flame of fire, God spoke to Moses.

63
00:04:29.973 --> 00:04:33.875
And God revealed to him, you could argue, prophecy.

64
00:04:35.167 --> 00:04:37.588
Moses, this is what I'm going to do.

65
00:04:38.468 --> 00:04:39.948
Is that not a prophetic statement?

66
00:04:40.569 --> 00:04:42.109
You see how you need not be afraid?

67
00:04:42.589 --> 00:04:45.130
When God says, this is what I'm going to do for you.

68
00:04:45.210 --> 00:04:45.770
How about this?

69
00:04:45.810 --> 00:04:46.490
You guys know this.

70
00:04:46.510 --> 00:04:49.491
Jeremiah 29, 11, everybody's favorite verse.

71
00:04:49.872 --> 00:04:52.232
I know the thoughts I think toward you, sayeth the Lord.

72
00:04:52.612 --> 00:05:00.995
Thoughts of hope and thoughts of good, not of evil, but thoughts to bring your life to a full and complete end.

73
00:05:02.175 --> 00:05:04.236
Did you know that's a prophetic statement by God?

74
00:05:05.846 --> 00:05:07.287
Now put on your prophetic glasses.

75
00:05:07.527 --> 00:05:09.788
We're going to go through a little test here with the time that we have left.

76
00:05:10.368 --> 00:05:10.829
Kind of fun.

77
00:05:11.409 --> 00:05:12.429
John chapter 16.

78
00:05:12.490 --> 00:05:14.711
Let's see how you catch this.

79
00:05:15.191 --> 00:05:20.114
These things I have spoken to you that you should not be made to stumble.

80
00:05:20.794 --> 00:05:24.116
They will put you out of the synagogues.

81
00:05:24.756 --> 00:05:31.720
Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God's service.

82
00:05:32.460 --> 00:05:32.800
Wow.

83
00:05:32.941 --> 00:05:38.465
Okay, well, first of all, Jesus was telling that to the disciples who were Jewish.

84
00:05:39.266 --> 00:05:53.398
He was about ready to leave and go back to heaven, and he tells those Jewish disciples, they're going to come after you, they're going to throw you out of the houses of worship, synagogues, and they're going to try to kill you.

85
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:56.340
Is that a prophetic statement?

86
00:05:57.421 --> 00:05:57.501
Yes.

87
00:05:57.521 --> 00:05:58.082
A hundred percent.

88
00:05:58.102 --> 00:05:58.182
Yes.

89
00:05:59.289 --> 00:06:01.431
God didn't give us Bible prophecy to scare us.

90
00:06:02.072 --> 00:06:04.754
He gave us Bible prophecy to prepare us.

91
00:06:05.335 --> 00:06:06.956
See how preparatory that is?

92
00:06:06.976 --> 00:06:08.538
It's awesome.

93
00:06:09.765 --> 00:06:15.227
Verse 3, and these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor me.

94
00:06:15.947 --> 00:06:21.849
But these things I have told you that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.

95
00:06:22.229 --> 00:06:26.651
And these things I did not say to you at the beginning because I was with you.

96
00:06:26.791 --> 00:06:30.272
But now I go away to him who sent me.

97
00:06:30.292 --> 00:06:32.873
And none of you ask me, where are you going?

98
00:06:33.970 --> 00:06:38.473
But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

99
00:06:39.133 --> 00:06:40.934
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth.

100
00:06:41.515 --> 00:06:43.436
It is to your advantage that I go away.

101
00:06:44.557 --> 00:06:51.001
For if I do not go away, the helper, the paracletos, Holy Spirit, will not come to you.

102
00:06:51.061 --> 00:06:54.263
But if I depart, I will send him to you.

103
00:06:57.035 --> 00:07:02.798
And when he has come, he will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment.

104
00:07:02.918 --> 00:07:05.899
Of sin, because they do not believe in me.

105
00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:09.480
Of righteousness, because I go to my father and you see me no more.

106
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.181
And of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

107
00:07:13.582 --> 00:07:14.982
By the way, who's the ruler of this world?

108
00:07:15.882 --> 00:07:16.283
Satan.

109
00:07:16.583 --> 00:07:17.203
He's judged.

110
00:07:18.328 --> 00:07:22.850
Verse 12, I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

111
00:07:23.430 --> 00:07:30.992
However, when he, the spirit of truth, that is the helper, has come, he will guide you into all truth.

112
00:07:31.392 --> 00:07:35.434
For he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak.

113
00:07:35.734 --> 00:07:38.435
And he will tell you things to come.

114
00:07:39.527 --> 00:07:46.752
He will glorify me for he will take what of what is mine and declare it to you.

115
00:07:47.153 --> 00:07:49.875
All things that the father has are mine.

116
00:07:50.295 --> 00:07:53.657
Therefore, I said that he will take of mine and declare it to you.

117
00:07:54.498 --> 00:07:57.080
A little while and you will not see me.

118
00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.463
And again, a little while and you will see me because I go to my father.

119
00:08:01.483 --> 00:08:01.643
Amen.

120
00:08:02.645 --> 00:08:10.567
Then some of the disciples said among themselves, what is this that he says to us a little while and you will not see me?

121
00:08:10.967 --> 00:08:13.268
And again, a little while and you will see me.

122
00:08:13.848 --> 00:08:15.728
And because I go to the father.

123
00:08:16.268 --> 00:08:20.909
And they said, therefore, what is this that he says a little while?

124
00:08:21.049 --> 00:08:23.470
We do not know what he is saying.

125
00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:33.964
Jesus knew that they desired to ask him, and he said to them, are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said?

126
00:08:33.984 --> 00:08:36.705
A little while, and you will not see me.

127
00:08:37.185 --> 00:08:39.506
And again, a little while, and you will see me.

128
00:08:39.926 --> 00:08:45.569
Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.

129
00:08:46.789 --> 00:08:50.131
And you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

130
00:08:51.353 --> 00:08:55.520
A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come.

131
00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:05.475
But as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

132
00:09:05.616 --> 00:09:06.197
Amazing, huh?

133
00:09:06.617 --> 00:09:16.148
Therefore, you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

134
00:09:16.548 --> 00:09:18.770
And in that day, you will ask me nothing.

135
00:09:19.191 --> 00:09:24.877
Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

136
00:09:26.895 --> 00:09:29.937
Until now, you have asked nothing in my name.

137
00:09:30.317 --> 00:09:34.559
Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

138
00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:46.046
These things I have spoken to you in a figurative language, but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

139
00:09:46.386 --> 00:09:52.810
In that day, you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray,

140
00:09:53.510 --> 00:09:54.511
the Father for you.

141
00:09:54.531 --> 00:09:56.031
It's because you'll be connected.

142
00:09:56.071 --> 00:10:03.515
For the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came forth from God.

143
00:10:03.535 --> 00:10:09.879
I came forth from the Father and have come into the world again.

144
00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:11.600
I leave the world and go to the Father.

145
00:10:14.401 --> 00:10:25.687
Church, you could read that chapter over and over again, and you will see more and more of prophetic Bible statements that bring you comfort.

146
00:10:26.388 --> 00:10:30.570
That was a huge test, but one that is necessary.

147
00:10:31.190 --> 00:10:34.232
There's the danger of obsessing over Bible prophecy.

148
00:10:35.132 --> 00:10:35.713
Did you know that?

149
00:10:36.153 --> 00:10:37.354
You want to be careful about that?

150
00:10:38.414 --> 00:10:39.815
Who cares about Bible prophecy?

151
00:10:39.835 --> 00:10:43.117
A lot of people don't, but some people go cuckoo crazy on it.

152
00:10:46.248 --> 00:10:48.389
They don't even go to a church.

153
00:10:49.049 --> 00:10:50.770
They just go to prophecy conferences.

154
00:10:52.210 --> 00:10:53.071
And that's not good.

155
00:10:56.072 --> 00:11:01.234
And I'm about to give you an exhortation.

156
00:11:01.254 --> 00:11:04.795
You guys know what an exhortation is?

157
00:11:05.235 --> 00:11:11.157
It's an uplifting... Spank.

158
00:11:11.237 --> 00:11:13.698
It's an uplifting smack.

159
00:11:14.719 --> 00:11:15.739
It's kind of like, you can do this.

160
00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:21.272
So I just wrote it down and you can read it if you have the notes, but I'll read it.

161
00:11:21.712 --> 00:11:27.155
I'm going to say something about the future, but not from any source of my own.

162
00:11:27.295 --> 00:11:27.976
Listen carefully.

163
00:11:28.596 --> 00:11:42.884
But from the source of scripture, I'm going to accurately say something about the future that will come to pass, not because I'm saying it, but because it is God's word given to us in advance.

164
00:11:43.998 --> 00:11:48.584
Okay, so what I'm going to give you, it's paraphrased, but watch this.

165
00:11:49.745 --> 00:11:53.189
There is going to be an increasingly weird time.

166
00:11:54.086 --> 00:11:54.706
Yeah, here it is.

167
00:11:54.906 --> 00:12:03.550
There is going to be an increasing in weird things being said and done in the name of Jesus by a lot of people.

168
00:12:04.310 --> 00:12:08.152
These people will be false prophets, false teachers and deceivers.

169
00:12:08.512 --> 00:12:15.955
They will teach false things, give false prophecies with such supernatural influence and charisma that...

170
00:12:16.515 --> 00:12:27.325
Unless someone is grounded in biblical truth about these false believers, they themselves will be powerless against these spiritual powers and will be deceived by them.

171
00:12:27.985 --> 00:12:30.567
So I just, I actually, you know what I did right there?

172
00:12:30.667 --> 00:12:34.350
I just read to you, paraphrased,

173
00:12:36.266 --> 00:12:38.747
scriptures put together right out of the Bible.

174
00:12:38.767 --> 00:12:46.232
In other words, everything that you just saw right there, I queued it up by saying, I'm going to tell you something from myself, but it's biblically based.

175
00:12:46.613 --> 00:12:50.796
And what I just shared with you is 100% true.

176
00:12:51.976 --> 00:12:53.137
But notice what I just did.

177
00:12:53.157 --> 00:13:00.122
I told you something about the future, but I told it to you from the Bible.

178
00:13:03.155 --> 00:13:08.259
Don't, as I said earlier, don't let somebody tell you that God revealed this to them in a dream.

179
00:13:10.220 --> 00:13:13.603
And I have been sent to tell you.

180
00:13:15.064 --> 00:13:18.187
Folks, the Bible is crystal clear on this.

181
00:13:19.227 --> 00:13:19.528
Run.

182
00:13:22.610 --> 00:13:26.773
God is done giving prophetic revelation.

183
00:13:27.794 --> 00:13:32.458
He is not going to reveal or add to the scriptures.

184
00:13:32.478 --> 00:13:32.958
Amen.

185
00:13:33.412 --> 00:13:34.152
He said that.

186
00:13:38.034 --> 00:13:38.774
Matthew chapter 24.

187
00:13:38.794 --> 00:13:40.555
We're going to blow through this quickly.

188
00:13:40.575 --> 00:13:43.016
Matthew 24, verse 24, 25.

189
00:13:44.116 --> 00:13:48.958
Now this certainly applies during the tribulation period, but it applies to today.

190
00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:56.021
For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible.

191
00:13:56.861 --> 00:13:57.762
Thank God for that if.

192
00:13:59.027 --> 00:14:03.650
Even the elect see or behold, I have told you beforehand.

193
00:14:04.091 --> 00:14:08.153
By the way, everybody, it's like a freshman course in logic.

194
00:14:08.754 --> 00:14:09.735
Let me read it again.

195
00:14:09.895 --> 00:14:10.635
Do I have your attention?

196
00:14:11.996 --> 00:14:12.797
This is very important.

197
00:14:13.117 --> 00:14:16.800
Watch, I'm going to change it, but not the truth of it.

198
00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:17.220
Watch.

199
00:14:18.281 --> 00:14:23.164
For false Christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive others.

200
00:14:24.792 --> 00:14:30.494
if possible, even the elect, which makes it impossible for the elect to be deceived.

201
00:14:31.734 --> 00:14:32.454
Did you all get that?

202
00:14:34.615 --> 00:14:36.095
That's exactly what it is saying.

203
00:14:36.435 --> 00:14:39.736
You should take a deep breath and relax.

204
00:14:41.617 --> 00:14:45.938
Because none of God's kids are going to be deceived.

205
00:14:47.318 --> 00:14:53.540
Well, I had a friend, he was a Christian, and some cult knocked on the door, and he went away with the cult, and he's gone.

206
00:14:55.030 --> 00:14:56.572
If that's true, he was never a Christian.

207
00:14:57.793 --> 00:14:58.914
He might have been your friend.

208
00:15:00.856 --> 00:15:04.200
But none of God's kids will be deceived.

209
00:15:05.501 --> 00:15:06.102
Let's keep going.

210
00:15:06.542 --> 00:15:07.583
Matthew 24, 11.

211
00:15:07.863 --> 00:15:10.786
Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

212
00:15:11.047 --> 00:15:12.168
That's a prophetic promise.

213
00:15:12.188 --> 00:15:12.468
Next verse.

214
00:15:12.488 --> 00:15:12.788
Next verse.

215
00:15:13.636 --> 00:15:20.862
Matthew 7, verse 15, Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

216
00:15:21.542 --> 00:15:26.847
Wow, listen, if you don't have the word of God rooted and grounded and understand Bible prophecy, they're going to eat you up.

217
00:15:29.431 --> 00:15:31.814
2 Thessalonians 2, verse 9.

218
00:15:32.255 --> 00:15:39.184
The coming of the lawless one, that's the Antichrist, is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders.

219
00:15:39.324 --> 00:15:39.865
Miracles.

220
00:15:40.386 --> 00:15:44.711
Super duper amazing, off the chart people, miracles.

221
00:15:47.150 --> 00:15:50.271
And with all unrighteous deception among those who perish.

222
00:15:50.331 --> 00:15:50.631
Why?

223
00:15:50.751 --> 00:15:54.453
Because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.

224
00:15:54.513 --> 00:15:56.514
Friend, here's the love of the truth.

225
00:15:56.974 --> 00:15:57.574
You're a sinner.

226
00:15:57.914 --> 00:15:59.095
God is the Savior.

227
00:15:59.575 --> 00:16:02.276
You can't, if you die without Jesus, you go to hell.

228
00:16:02.636 --> 00:16:04.417
If you die with Jesus, you go to heaven.

229
00:16:04.717 --> 00:16:07.858
He died on the cross for your sins to pay your sin debt.

230
00:16:07.978 --> 00:16:11.159
If you put your trust in him, he applies that work to you.

231
00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:14.181
You are saved and you...

232
00:16:15.201 --> 00:16:18.204
are secure in Christ and you become a Christ follower.

233
00:16:18.645 --> 00:16:18.885
Okay?

234
00:16:19.225 --> 00:16:31.377
Listen, if you reject that, if you don't receive that love of the truth, that you might be saved, there's nothing left for you.

235
00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:34.620
Right there.

236
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.321
I didn't say it.

237
00:16:35.541 --> 00:16:36.282
It says it right here.

238
00:16:38.463 --> 00:16:40.225
1 John 2, verse 18.

239
00:16:40.265 --> 00:16:41.306
1 John 2, verse 18.

240
00:16:41.326 --> 00:16:43.388
Little children, it is the last hour.

241
00:16:43.528 --> 00:16:44.089
I love John.

242
00:16:44.109 --> 00:16:44.890
He's not messing around.

243
00:16:45.410 --> 00:16:46.251
It's the last hour.

244
00:16:47.452 --> 00:16:52.497
And as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrists have come.

245
00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:56.501
By which we know that it is the last hour.

246
00:16:57.162 --> 00:17:00.145
They went out from us, but they were not of us.

247
00:17:00.285 --> 00:17:00.786
Next verse.

248
00:17:00.986 --> 00:17:01.947
We're going to go quickly now.

249
00:17:03.018 --> 00:17:05.239
Acts chapter 20, verse 26 to 31.

250
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.299
This is Paul the Apostle speaking.

251
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.662
Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men, for I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

252
00:17:14.702 --> 00:17:25.465
Therefore, take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

253
00:17:26.065 --> 00:17:32.527
For I know this, that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

254
00:17:32.688 --> 00:17:40.451
Also, from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

255
00:17:40.871 --> 00:17:49.834
Therefore, watch and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone, night and day with tears, said the Apostle Paul.

256
00:17:50.314 --> 00:17:51.695
Regarding deception.

257
00:17:52.919 --> 00:17:56.281
You know Bible prophecy, you will not be deceived.

258
00:17:56.881 --> 00:18:00.223
Watch out for people who name names like this.

259
00:18:01.183 --> 00:18:04.905
Oh, you know, God showed me that that guy's the Antichrist.

260
00:18:06.206 --> 00:18:07.867
There's books on this.

261
00:18:08.247 --> 00:18:09.368
There's books people have written.

262
00:18:10.587 --> 00:18:15.711
How to do the math to find out who's the Antichrist.

263
00:18:15.751 --> 00:18:16.232
Did you know?

264
00:18:16.252 --> 00:18:18.053
Listen, I'm so old.

265
00:18:18.734 --> 00:18:22.377
I remember where people were talking about JFK was the Antichrist.

266
00:18:22.857 --> 00:18:25.259
And then Henry Kissinger was the Antichrist.

267
00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:26.600
Did you remember that one?

268
00:18:27.781 --> 00:18:32.365
But listen, watch out for people who say, that guy's the Antichrist.

269
00:18:33.426 --> 00:18:37.329
There was a book written, 88 Reasons Jesus is Coming in 1988.

270
00:18:40.392 --> 00:18:43.734
You can get that book on Amazon now for like a nickel.

271
00:18:44.774 --> 00:18:50.558
Therefore, watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

272
00:18:50.798 --> 00:18:51.778
So watch, everybody.

273
00:18:51.878 --> 00:18:52.198
Watch.

274
00:18:52.959 --> 00:18:53.659
Read it this way.

275
00:18:54.040 --> 00:18:58.502
Because you don't know the day or the hour in which the Son of Man is coming, what are you supposed to do?

276
00:18:59.623 --> 00:19:00.103
Next verse.

277
00:19:01.850 --> 00:19:07.095
Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

278
00:19:07.835 --> 00:19:19.485
In other words, be busy, occupy till he comes, be doing the work of God, feed your family, get your degree, plan your vacation, live your life.

279
00:19:20.602 --> 00:19:22.903
All the while, by the way, telling others about Jesus.

280
00:19:23.343 --> 00:19:24.204
And just know this.

281
00:19:24.644 --> 00:19:29.326
When God comes back, let him catch you being busy about his father's business.

282
00:19:29.386 --> 00:19:29.646
Okay?

283
00:19:30.026 --> 00:19:30.526
Next verse.

284
00:19:31.246 --> 00:19:31.687
Looking.

285
00:19:32.007 --> 00:19:32.727
Active verb.

286
00:19:33.307 --> 00:19:33.607
Now.

287
00:19:34.088 --> 00:19:34.788
Continuous.

288
00:19:35.308 --> 00:19:43.912
Looking, looking, looking, looking, looking for the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

289
00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:46.553
And all God's people said, amen.
