What we're going to be looking at again is things that basically Jesus is going to be teaching his disciples. He's going to be using some illustrations, some parables about things that'll be taking place at the second coming, not the rapture of the church. So that we'll be looking at that. As a quick reminder, again, why are we in Matthew 24? We've been going through, we did about four or five lessons on the rapture of the church age saints. And then I popped into the Olivet Discourse. The reason I did that is not because the Olivet Discourse teaches about the rapture, which it does not. It teaches about things that will be taking place at the second coming when Jesus Christ comes to this earth. The rapture, of course, Jesus, does He touch down on the earth? The answer is no. How do we know that? 1 Thessalonians 4 tells us He comes in the clouds, in the air, the dead in Christ rise, the believers, alive at that time, rise up and meet Christ in the air and immediately takes him to heaven. So Jesus does not come down to this earth during the rapture. He's above it, but doesn't come down. Matthew chapter 24, we went through the first 14 verses, which are nine specific signs about when Jesus comes back and his return, not the rapture. Those signs are reiterated in what other book of the Bible? Revelations, specifically chapter six, the sealed judgments correspond with the majority of things in Matthew 24, the first 13 verses. So what we see happening today are a lot of things that have been going on for, if you will, 2,000 years. And for 2,000 years, people have been saying, well, the signs of Matthew chapter 24, the rapture must be coming because those signs, we see wars, we see rumors of wars, we see false Christ, we see this, we see that. What the Bible in Matthew 24 is talking about is not just the average everyday events that are taking place for the last 2,000 years. Matthew 24, he's talking about the specific signs that will take place during the tribulation period. So even though we have things that are similar, they are nowhere near to the depth, to the strength, to the scope, talked about in Matthew 24. Matthew 24, 14, we talked about evangelism, of the entire world. I made a strong statement a few weeks ago, there's missionaries that will come, they don't understand the passage and state that the rapture can't happen until the world is evangelized. Well folks, that has nothing to do with the rapture of the church. I'm all for the missionaries wanting to reach everybody for Christ, but it's the wrong passage to use. The evangelism that'll take place in Matthew 24, 14 when the entire world will hear the gospel is going to take place when 144,000 young male Jewish virgin evangelists, Revelation 7 and 14 go throughout the world. Revelation 11 talks about the two witnesses that will be preaching the gospel. Many folks will come to Christ during the tribulation and the gospel will go forth. So all people somehow will hear the gospel during the seven year tribulation period. After verse 14, we went into the abomination of desolation. Now folks, if Matthew 24 is talking about the rapture, we got a major problem because is there a third temple in Israel today? No. So there cannot, and again, I put that out there on purpose because when people falsely call Matthew 24 about the rapture, it just doesn't fit contextually. The abomination of desolation will take place during the tribulation, and we know specifically when it's going to happen, which is at the midpoint or halfway through the tribulation period. We went through the verses, Daniel 9.27, which talks about the seven-year peace treaty that the Antichrist will make with the Jewish people. In Daniel 9.27, it says in the midpoint of the tribulation, or the midpoint of that seven-year period, he's going to break that peace treaty with the Jewish people. Well, what's going to happen? He says he's going to make the sacrifices at the oblation end. Again, that's all in that one little verse, Daniel 9.27. We went through 2 Thessalonians 2.4, which talked about the abomination of desolation that will come. Revelation 13 talks about the temple that will be desecrated when the Antichrist has an image to himself placed in the temple. We know from Revelation 13 that happens at the midpoint of the tribulation. So again, everything in Matthew 24 cannot come true during the church age. So Matthew 24 was, again, it was specific from Jesus to the disciples at that time. The church age hadn't even started yet. When does the church age begin? Well, after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. Then we start the church age which we currently live in and have lived in for the first 2,000 years. So where are we at now? We talked about the abomination of desolation. Then we looked at last week, we looked at the specific signs that will take place the day that Jesus Christ returns to the earth to set up his millennial kingdom. The sun will be darkened, the moon will be darkened, the stars will fall from heaven and the earth will be shaken, all right? It'll be the awful, dreadful day of the Lord when Jesus Christ returns, not for the rapture of the church. When Jesus comes in the clouds, in the air, there's not gonna be any fancy signs, there's not gonna be any cosmic disturbance. He's gonna come and gonna blow the trumpet and up we go, done, over. Now I say we, if it happens in our generation, if it doesn't, whatever generation is alive at that time will experience that. All right, now we're going into Matthew 24 verse 36, and we're going to be talking about what are the signs that will be taking place during the tribulation period. Now again, and I encourage you to do this, and a lot of people are scared of the book of Revelation. I don't know why. It's pretty straightforward. Yes, there's a lot of what are known as apocalyptic style writings. And most of you are familiar with that term. Apocalyptic style writing is what's used in the book of Revelation. What does that mean? Apocalyptic is symbolic items that have a prophetic nexus. So again, I always, to make it as easy as possible, When the Bible talks about a dragon in Revelation and other places, are we talking about a literal dragon? Who are we talking about? We're talking about Satan. Revelation 19 says the devil, Satan, the serpent of old, all synonymous terms referring to Satan, all right? So that apocalyptic style writing are symbolic things that are used to state a literal truth, but God always defines what that truth is. All right, so now we go to Matthew chapter 24, and we're going to be talking about what is going to be happening during the days preceding Christ's literal second coming to this earth. And again, you can read this, and I've heard so many people use this for the rapture. Unfortunately, they should not use this passage for that. Again, this is dealing with the second coming, which is seven years after the rapture. Matthew 24, verse 36. We're talking about a tremendous spiritual complacency that will be taking place during that time. Well, let me ask you this question. Is there spiritual complacency today? Absolutely. Has there been spiritual complacency for the last 2,000 years? Absolutely. I mean, when you look at it from a myopic standpoint, or maybe better stated, a 30-foot overview, there's always been spiritual complacency. But God is now drilling down into what exactly is going to be taking place during that horrible tribulation time. Now the reason I said you ought to read Revelation, when you read Revelation starting at chapter 6 all the way through 16, you'll read about the massive amount of judgments, 28 specific judgments that are literally going to do all but destroy this earth and humanity. It's dreadful. It's horrible. And it's not going to be like we are today. Again, me and you will be up in heaven if you're a Christian. You'll be up in heaven during this time. We'll be rejoicing. We'll be going through the judgment seat of Christ, which is a good thing. So we're not going to deal with this. But God is saying, listen, before Christ comes, these are specifically how it's going to be here on earth. And though we can relate to a great deal of this, excuse the grammar, you ain't seen nothing yet. All right, verse 36, but of that day and hour, basically when Christ comes back, because that's what the previous verses we just discussed were, but of that day and hour when Jesus Christ returns basically to the earth, knoweth no man. No, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. All right, so God is saying the specific day when he's going to return to this earth, nobody knows. In other words, the date setters that try and set dates for the rapture and the second coming and all the, don't ever set dates. If you're listening to somebody on the internet, if you're listening to a preacher that's sending dates, turn them off. They are false. They don't know what they're speaking about. I'm not trying to be unkind, but the Bible makes it very clear. You're not gonna know. The angels don't even know, so don't try and figure it out. It's gonna be a secret and is a secret. But at that day and hour, when Christ returns to the earth, knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Now, does God know all things? Of course, omnipresent, omniscient, immutable, so many attributes of God, he knows. Verse 37, okay, now here's the sign. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Well, very interesting because we've been going through, if you come to Sunday night church, and again, we've been off for several weeks with the holidays, but we've been going through Genesis. We went through Genesis chapter three. We've been through, specifically Genesis five, six, seven, and eight. Six, seven, and eight are talking about the flood. Why did God send the flood to this earth during the days of Noah? because of violence, because of a hatred for God, because of a disbelief in God, because people were eat, drink, and be merry, and they could care less about God. When you look at the entire earth during the days of Noah, how many people did God save through the flood? Out of the entire world population, how many people did God take out of the flood? Eight people, Noah, his wife, Shem, Ham, Japheth, and their wives. That's eight total people. That's it. Now, the Bible doesn't tell us how many people were alive during that time period. We just don't know. People have speculated hundreds of thousands. That's probably minimum. Some have speculated as many as a billion people. We don't know. But the one thing we do know is only eight people were saved through the flood. So he's saying, listen, okay, so here's what it was like in the days of Noah. And I wanna, this little, picture here takes us back. On that ship were eight people. We know the waters, and we're not gonna go through the Genesis account right now, but we know the waters exceeded the highest mountain. How many people were able to survive the flood outside of those eight souls? None. God took them out. It was horrific, horrible judgment. But the issue is, and of course you can make a correlation here, which I think is going beyond what he's saying here, But it's like, okay, eight people were saved out of the entire world. But he's not saying the amount of people saved will be exactly the same in, if you will, during the tribulation time, but he does make this correlation. The atmosphere, the environment, the spiritual temperature of the earth is going to be exactly the same as it was in the days of Noah. And here he explains it, what was going on in the days of Noah, the exact same thing that'll be taking place during the seven year tribulation. For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark. In other words, life is good. Eat, drink, be merry, have a good family, grow up. But as far as we're concerned, God has no part in their life. For as in the days that were before the flood, they ate, they drank, they married, they gave in marriage, and that was it. No spiritual temperature, spiritual complacency, no movement towards God. Now let me ask you a question. Is our nation kind of following that metric? Is the international world following this metric? All right, so at a minimum, we could say this. It is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled. This world is not getting any better. It's getting worse. We're seeing so many things rise up. We're seeing issues again, like the terrorism is increasing. Folks, I haven't seen the amount of terrorism that's taken place in our country back since 9-11. Things are starting to pop up. I'm scared to death, quite frankly, what's going to happen over the next couple of weeks before the president's put in place. And we should be praying, asking God to preserve things while we're here. But folks, there's no jokes. It's coming out even stronger than I've ever heard it on the media. I've heard it through law enforcement channels back in the day. But they're making it very clear. We don't know how many terrorist cells we are. There are. We don't know how many terrorists are in our country. We don't know what they're planning next, and that's true. They don't know. I'm telling you, the government doesn't know. This stuff is underground. 32,000 children have been lost that have come through the borders. Now, if you can't find 32,000 children, if you're not tracking children, what do you think they're doing with the adults? Nothing, for the most part. So the stage is set for something potentially that really is going to make the last days of NOAA come to fruition here. But anyway, let's get back to the text. All right, they knew not, verse 39, they didn't know the flood came and took them all away, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Now here's where we need to start really drilling down on the context. What's the situation on earth when Noah and the flood came to fruition? Horrible violence. Horrible things were taking place. You read that in Genesis 5, Genesis 6. Things were just a wreck. They were messed up. There was violence. There was hatred. There's corruption among allegedly God's people. Nobody was following the Lord. It was terrible. In addition to that, nobody was following anything spiritual. It just didn't exist. They didn't care about God. And folks, again, all the statistics, we can talk about 30% of people in America that go to, that believe they're Christians and all the other nonsense that's put out in statistics. There's nowhere near 30% of people that understand who Christ is, unfortunately, in our society. It's a bad society and it's getting worse day by day. And Bible's making it clear. They didn't know the flood was coming. Folks, they do not, what is he saying? He's saying, during the seven-year tribulation period. People will not be focused on Christ. Who will they be focused on, by the way? They'll be focused on Satan, the Antichrist, and the false prophet, all spoken about in Revelation 13. Again, I just keep pounding and pounding and pounding Revelation 13. Why? Because it makes it clear at the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation period, there will be, it's not speculation, there will be a one world government, a one world religion, and a one world economy. All the things you read about with the world banks, with the digital currencies, it's going to happen. All the things that you're concerned about, at least should be concerned about, when it comes to a one world religion is being put in place as we speak. All the things talked about in Revelation 13, that if you do not worship the beast, you will be what? You'll be killed. That's why I've written the last couple of books about facial recognition software, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, all this stuff is happening today. It's not science fiction anymore. It's not the Jetsons cartoon anymore, it's reality. I've talked about multiple times in this group. There are multiple stadiums in America today. Big, giant football, baseball stadiums that you do not need a ticket, you don't need a Cell phone, all you need is your face, facial recognition to get you into the game. That is now becoming the new form of identification. China, two cameras for every person that walks the street. They know every single person, they know who they are, they know where they go, they know how they look, they know how they act, and they're able to track every single person. Digital currency, social currency, not science fiction. It's real in China. The people in China are starting to rebel against this, but it's happening. And basically, they don't realize the danger that they're in. Now, folks in this room that I talk to, and those of you that send me articles and other things regarding what's happening internationally and domestically, you're aware, you're cognizant, things are changing. Now, the bad of the bad doesn't happen until the midpoint of the seven-year tribulation. We'll already been in heaven three and a half years. However, Can right now, can today the stage be set for things that are coming? Not only can they be, they are. So we put these things out, we let you know about them. I'll just do one more quick illustration. So about two years ago, most of you know, every December I go to the Pre-Trib Research National Conference, which I had the privilege of speaking at this year. And I'm getting ready to go into the check line in Dallas. And I saw something I never saw before. And there's a bunch of little computers and a couple of people standing around them. And Dallas lines are long. They're not like Milwaukee, where you're in and out through the check lines. And I'm there with a couple other folks. And they're like, hey, how would you like to get through the line quicker? I'm like, hey, works for me. What do you got to do? And they said, well, just come over here. And we'll take an iris scan. and we'll put you in our system. And then every time you come in, you just come to our computer, you do your iris scan and facial recognition, and you can jump through all these lines and go straight to the security person and pop right through. And I'm like, oh man, that sounds like a great idea. Does it sound like a great idea? Yeah, no. All of a sudden it dawns on me, I'm like, and I said this to myself, I would never say it to anyone else. I'm like, you dummy. I'm like, I mean, and of course, having been in government work, they got everything you can imagine on me anyway, but I'm like, do I want to give the feds another little digital picture of whatever? And I'm like, no, I think I'll pass. So fortunately, we got out of that line and went and stood in a big line and we made our plane just the same. But OK, so that's coming. Am I making a point? I mean, folks, the world is changing. It's changing as we speak, and it's going to end up exactly like it's saying here. They had no idea that the flood is coming during the tribulation time. They have no idea because nobody's talking, nobody's preaching hardly. It's confined even though everybody's hearing the gospel, they're not accepting it. They're following the Antichrist and they don't realize that Jesus Christ is coming back. And now here's the big one. This is the one that always somebody is going down the wrong pathway on these verses. We're gonna read them carefully. Go back to the previous one. They were what? Eating, drinking, blah, blah, blah. Marry and give them marriage until the day no one entered there. And knew not until the flood came and took them all away, so shall the coming, took them what? Took them all away. Took them all away. That was bliss, right? He took them all away. They all went to heaven, they all had a great time, life was good. Is that what it's talking about? He took them away and what? It starts with a J. He took them away in judgment. Judgment. What did you say? Okay. He took them away in judgment. It was not a blessing to be taken away here. They were taken away in judgment. They were killed because they didn't follow the Lord. Now the very next verse, Let's keep it in context, let's not change it. What does he say in verse 40? Then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other left. Wait a minute, doesn't that sound like the rapture? There could be two people walking out in the field, one person's a Christian, one will be left and the other taken. Well, yeah, that could fit, but that's not contextually accurate. Verse 41, two women shall be grinding at the mill, the one shall be taken and the other left. Taken where? Taken to what? This is the big issue. This is where people confuse the rapture with the second coming. When Jesus comes back in Revelation chapter 19, let me see, he comes back, he puts his arms up and say, I love y'all. Is that what happens in Revelation 19? He comes down to this earth and the battle of what takes place? Armageddon. Everybody knows about Armageddon, contextually use it right or not, the media knows about it, the unsaved world knows about it. Is Armageddon a good thing or a bad thing? Well, it depends on which side you're on, right? Armageddon's horrible. It is the destruction of everything left on this earth that is evil and against God. Zechariah chapter 14 makes it very clear in verse four that all nations will be gathered together at the battle of Armageddon which is a little bit north of Jerusalem, right outside of, I'm missing it, Mount Carmel. There we go. Mount Carmel's overlooking the Jezreel Valley. It's overlooking the Valley of Armageddon. You can see the old city of Megiddo, which of course stands for where the Valley of Armageddon is going to be. This is not a pleasant scenario. It's a horrible scenario. Two women shall be grinding at the mill. The one shall be taken and the other left. All right, let's quickly go through our concepts here. So we look back in 2348 BC, which is the earth was created approximately 4004 BC based on the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11. 2348, God destroyed the earth through the universal catastrophic flood, saved only eight people. Jesus then comes in approximately AD based on your dating, AD 3033. Then what happens? Well, after the ascension of Christ, the church age begins in which we are currently living. Been going on for some 2,000 years. Next major event is removal, the snatch away, the rapture of the church. All right, then what happens to start the seven-year tribulation period is the confirming of the peace treaty with the Jewish people, Daniel 9.27. Matthew 24 says, before the second coming of Jesus, what is going to happen? It's going to be like the days of Noah. Way back in 2348, it was violence. There was no love for God. Everybody did what was right in his own eyes. And God said, bye-bye. That's the days of Noah. Is there anything nice and sweet and loving about this? To be honest, no. I mean, this is all about judgment that the passage is talking about. 1 Corinthians 15 tells us about the rapture. This certainly doesn't match up with Matthew 24. Bible says, behold, and he's talking about the rapture, I show you a mystery. We, who's the we here? Christians. We shall not all sleep or die, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump, For the trumpet shall sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible. Does that match up with 1 Thessalonians 4? Behold, the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we which are alive in the rain shall be caught up together with them in the air, in the clouds, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I think it does. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, the trumpet will sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible. matching with the dead saints that God will resurrect and do what? Give their glorified bodies. And we shall be changed. We'll all be changed. The dead in Christ, those alive in Christ. For this corruptible must put out incorruption. This mortal must put out immortality. Does not match up with Matthew chapter 24. That's the reason I'm telling you this. The rapture is totally different scenario than the second coming. All right, so in light of that, let's go back. because I kind of skipped through it quick. All right. We're talking about judgment that happened in the days of Noah. We're talking about judgment when two people will be going, if you will, through the field. One will be taken in judgment. The other will escape. Two women shall be grinding at the mill. The one shall be taken in judgment. The other left. When we get a little bit further down into Matthew, he says, listen, Jewish people, when you see the abomination of desolation take place, that's back in Matthew 24, 15, what did he tell the Jewish people to do? One word, three letters. Run, get out of town, flee. How do we, why should they flee? Well, we gotta go back to Zechariah 13, verses eight and nine. Two thirds of all the Jewish people are gonna die at this point, two thirds. And he made it very clear, if you don't run, if you don't get out of town, you're going to face death. I mean, it's certain. Get out of town, run for your life. So we're not talking about the rapture, we're not talking about something beautiful, wonderful, and oh, everything's gonna be, no, he said, listen, get out of town. Like the days of Noah, there's gonna be horrific judgment. Like the days when Jesus is coming back. You read Revelation 19. He comes down with a sharp sword and out of it he does what? He devours the enemies. That's what he's talking about here. So contextually, we need to get it right. All right, a couple more here and then we'll have to quit. Matthew 24, 42, what is he telling? Now again, you could say, well, shouldn't we be doing this as the church? Watch therefore for you know not what hour your Lord does come. Well, does that apply to the rapture, if you will? Could we make it apply? Absolutely. Every single one of us, if we're walking with God, we're looking forward to the time when Jesus Christ is gonna come and take us out of here, and hopefully in our lifetime. That's not what Matthew 24, 42 is talking about. He's talking about the believers, the disciples, those that turned to Christ during the tribulation time. He says, I want you to watch. You've seen the most horrible, despicable things on earth for the last, seven years or three and a half years, wherever we're at at this point, you've seen the horrible things that are taking place. Don't be like the people that are just eat, drink, and being merry and avoiding everything that's going on. I don't know how you'll avoid the worst catastrophes of all time that are gonna happen on this earth during the Great Tribulation. But he said you need to watch. You need to be awake, believers. You need to walk with God during this time, believers. because you don't know the specific time when God's gonna come, just like the flood. They didn't know the flood was coming. Folks, and if you don't come to Sunday nights or you haven't read through Genesis, this may, here's maybe a little enlightenment. When Noah was building the ark in 2348 BC, how many times had it rained on the earth? Goose egg. See, wait a minute, it hadn't rained, for close to 2,000 years? Nope. The Bible makes it very clear that God watered the ground. Basically, he made the mist come up and that's how this earth was watered until the floods came. People had no clue what an ark was. What do you need an ark for out here? Where's the water gonna come from? Hey, it's gonna flood. You need to turn to Jesus. You need to turn to the Lord. And the people are like, yeah, whatever, Noah, you're nuts. They didn't buy it. Well, same thing's gonna happen during the tribulation when the Antichrist, the false Christ, if you will, is sending out his false message about basically worship Satan, the beast, and the false prophet. All right, but know this, we'll end on this one, that if the good men of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would have not suffered his house to be broken up. All right, again, he's talking about this is not a good thing. When Jesus returns to take his home, is that like something we should be scared of? No, that's a good thing. But he's saying, listen, in judgment, when Jesus is going to return at the seven-year tribulation period, you better be watchful, folks. You better be understanding that God is coming here. And he said, you need to be prepared, just like somebody who is expecting a thief to enter into his home and is prepared. Now, I know, folks, you do what you do at your home. I do what I do at mine. Some of you, you got shotguns by the doors. You got 23 locks on the door. You got booby traps all over the place. It's kind of like home alone at your home. and I mean, you're sitting ready for anything. And he's saying, listen, that's how people, if they're prepared, if they understand that the burglars come and the robbers come and the person that's gonna cause you harm, they get prepared. And he says, know this, that the good man, you're basically saying, I'm calling you to be watchful. I'm calling you to pay attention. Now folks, there's gonna be 28 major signs during the tribulation period. billions of people that are going to die, there's gonna be catastrophic things taking place, and yet people are still gonna be blinded to the spiritual truth. I mean, it really is, it's mind-boggling how people can be so blinded. All right, can I give a nasty illustration to end here? You're like, some say yes, some say, what do you mean by nasty? Not that kind of nasty. Okay, just think about this. Most of you in this room, you're conservative Christians. Over the last four years, you and I have watched things happen and you're like, how can people buy into some of this stuff? How can they buy into the socialist agenda? How can they buy into, just like happened this week, How in the world can you be giving a medal to George Soros who hates Christianity? He hates conservatism. How in the world can that happen in our country? What in the world is wrong with us? By the way, George Soros spent, I heard, at least $500,000 against me when I ran for sheriff. Thanks, George. I don't care about George Soros from that standpoint. I do care and wish he would get saved. What in the world's wrong with our country? And you look at these things and you're saying what I just did. How in the world can we be so stupid? How in the world can so many people fall down this rabbit hole of following that which is globalism, which is totally anti-biblical? How can they fall into the abortion pit? How can they fall into that transgender surgeries and puberty blockers for children and putting sexually explicit things into the public schools? All that is great according to a great percentage of our people, and we're sitting there and going, how can you be so stupid? And I'm saying this on purpose, excuse the language, if you will. It's like, how can they be that blinded? How can they not understand where this is leading? Let's just go back. For as in the days that were before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, living things their own way, doing everything, not realizing what was coming. And all of a sudden they're all dead. Eight people saved. So when you see the nonsense that's taking place, here's my conclusion. You may have a different one, but this is my conclusion. 2 Corinthians chapter four, verse four. A verse everybody should memorize. 2 Corinthians 4.4. Who is the small g God of this world? Voila. Any more questions? You see, Satan is in control of this world. God has given him tremendous latitude. And in the last days after the rapture, before Jesus Christ returns to set up his kingdom on earth, it's going to be just like that. Horrible, horrible, and more horrible. People rejecting God, people living just like they did in the days of Noah. So again, when we're reading this, are there signs like this occurring today? Absolutely. They've been around for 2,000 years. But in that final time before the second coming happens, this is specifically written to those that will be alive during that generation. Chapter 24, verse 34, during that generation that sees these things, you better look out, you better be watchful because Jesus is absolutely positively returning and he's gonna wipe out every single thing that's opposing him. You can go through Revelation 19, 11 to 21 and read about it. Father, thank you for this. Precious Word of God. Lord, as always, we encourage all of us to exercise 2 Timothy 2, verse 15, to study, to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen, workwomen that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling, rightly dividing the word of truth. Father, we're thankful that many of these things that we just read about technically will not happen while we're still here on this earth as Christians. But Lord, all these things we see at least to some degree. We see the corruption happening. We see the turn from God. We see the small amount of Christians that exist worldwide. Father, help us to do what we can this week. Help us to stay firm with you. Help us to love you like never before. Help us to realize that we're spiritually alive. And then Father, help us to spread the gospel, to help others who don't know Jesus to find Him before their Last breath is breathe. Dismiss us with your blessing, please. We commit our day to you in Jesus name. Amen. Thanks folks.
