what are you going to do about Bible prophecy some people say I don’t want anything to do about Bible prophecy Bible prophecy scares me some people say maybe some Churches never teach it maybe you’re not aware or maybe you’re asking the question wow in light of all that’s going on in the world around us I want to know what’s next good for you listen God commends the heart that is wanting to know and to look in to the future why because the future Belongs to the Lord and so I’m often asked the

question where will we be when Christ returns uh when he returns do I believe that Believers go up in the Rapture or do they go through the tribulation who’s the Antichrist and people have a tendency to get anxious well listen Bible prophecy wasn’t given to us to scare us but to prepare us and so in the passage that we’re going to be looking at today I believe right here in Romans 8: 31-39 you should be comforted by Bible prophecy especially more than ever as we are in the official last days that the

Bible speaks about Bible prophecy should bring to you comfort and regarding the church and your life the tribulation and the Antichrist God has laid it out so that you might be sure calm comfortable and knowing what you should do as a Believer so this is an amazing time to hear a message that I hope and pray will affect you greatly so my question to you is what are you going to do about Bible prophecy a lot of people today are avoiding it a lot of people today are staying away from it friends listen that should be an indicator to you if people

would have you avoid it if your church won’t speak about it did you know the Bible says in the last days that people will be ignorant about the scriptures concerning the last days and Bible prophecy what a wonderful warning that is a prophetic warning so listen grab your Bibles get your notes out and let’s dive into the message what are you going to do about Bible [Applause] prophecy Revelation 19: 10 mark it down in your notetaking for this chapter of Romans 8 John says I felt at his feet to worship him but he said to me see that

you do not do that I am your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus this is a a vision of Heaven John is seeing Heaven he’s talking to a brother we don’t know who it is in heaven and the answer is worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy the utterance of God’s word and it also means the future telling of God’s word of what is to pass John 16:33 Jesus said in these things I have spoken unto you that in me you may have peace in the world you will have

tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world that’s a prophetic statement church family you and I need to know this now because our need for this verse is going to increase so what should you know and how does Bible prophecy apply to your life it is equipping you to embrace the promises of God listen promises are prophetic when God says I promise that means he’s going to fulfill something in your future the prophetic nature of our God Revelation 3: 7 starting there and to the angel of the

church at Philadelphia the church we all want to be like verse 8 I know your Works look I have set before you an open door and no one can shut it because you have a little strength and you’ve kept my word it’s the first criteria and number two you’ve not denied my name verse 10 says because you have kept my command to persevere watch this I also will keep you from the hour that word implies that things are going to get rougher but right when you think it can’t get any more rougher he says I’m

going to keep you from that hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world to test those who dwell on the Earth what a promise Isaiah 42:9 behold God says the former things have come to pass and new things I declare before they spring forth I tell you of them that’s the god you work you know we were singing a moment ago who were you singing to who were you worshiping the god of the Bible who says right here things have come to pass that I’ve spoken of and oh by the way things that have not yet happened I’m telling you

about them now what a great and awesome God the Bible tells us in Luke 21:34 Luke 2134 Jesus says be careful for your hearts could be weighed down with dissipation that is your faith and your commitment starts to leak out starts to grow low drunkenness and the anxieties of this life and that day come and will close in on you unexpectedly like a trap that is his return for it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth be always on the watch and pray that you may Escape all that is about to

happen oh that’s good news Can someone say Amen to that I’m all for that oh you guys just want to escape all the bad stuff uh yeah why Jesus said so Luke 21:36 that you may be able to stand before the son of man get ready now still foundational Philippians chapter 3: 20 for our citizenship is in heaven I should pause right here for a moment at that comma see the word citizenship it’s the Greek word politics yep our politics is where in heaven if the politics of heaven will someday come in Christ Jesus to this

world that’s going to be a good day the government of God is someday coming but it will not come it will not come until Christ physically returns to earth you’re not going to bring it in we’re not going to Usher it in we don’t know we know this no political person is going to usher in the kingdom of God we do our best we pray we get involved we engage why because you and I are called by God to represent the politics of Heaven here and now knowing this we ain’t home yet we are not home yet thank God because our citizenship is

in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ who will transform our vile body that it may be conformed to his glorious body the power of the word of God Matthew chapter 16 verse one by introduction announces then the Pharisees and Sadducees teamed up together and came testing Jesus asked that he would show them a sign from Heaven here you go and he answered and said to them when it is evening you say it will be fair weather for the sky is red nice sunset in the morning it will be foul

weather today because or for the sky is red and threatening Hypocrites isn’t it great how subtle Jesus is the word hypocrite means you have two faces you ever heard somebody say you’re Too Faced that’s called hypocrite that’s why ollywood and the screen actor’s guild has the hypocrite as a logo did you know that the one face smiling the one face frowning and it’s got the little strings and you tie it on the actor wore um or had the opportunity to wear one in the front and one in the back

Jesus called them you two-faced people you you know how to discern the face of the sky but you cannot discern the signs of the times a wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign and knows no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah that’s what Jesus said to their question he say Do You Believe In Jonah yes I do never met him I will someday but you know why I Believe In Jonah because not only is he in the Bible and he was a real guy but Jesus said he was and that’s enough for me Jesus said the

sign’s going to be given to you as it was with Jonah Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish so the son of man Jesus must have pointed to himself will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth so church here we go it’s our one and only argument today in our Point what are you going to do about Bible prophecy well listen the fact is your glorification is coming it’s coming have you ever checked Amazon on your number to see what time the package is coming

it should have been here by now you’re looking go did you go check the door we’re so amazing we have an app and it’s like ding it dings oh it should be there check the front door and we’re we’re we trust them let’s go see we’re following this plastic piece of junk and we and we open the door oh it’s not here call them call them find an what do we do listen on I was going to say on Scouts Honor on on the basis of the word of God the Bible announces to all of God’s children the ultimate Act of his

Redemptive work in your life is your Eternal glorification which happens at the moment of your death and or Resurrection in the coming of Christ for the church you will be transformed the Bible says and you will be glorifies oh Pastor I just want to be in heaven I don’t need all that fancy stuff you have to have the fancy stuff you want to know why you’re robbing Christ from what he purchased for you he’s going to clothe you in his own righteousness the Bible says it looks like white a white gown

beautiful clean and bright the Bible says he purchased for you absolute listen forgiveness of sins and the giving of a clear conscience and of a sound mind he’s purchased for you absolute peace with God no more Waring God’s your friend and you’re a child of God and there’s a love relationship Jesus did that are any of you enjoying that today do you think about God do you love God do you wonder and imagine and you can’t wait to get there and truly we had admitting that our politic is in heaven

why is that true Jesus did that for you and we don’t thank God enough for that your whole life is prophetic we’re not stuck here right now it happens to be today I can’t wait for today be to be over because listen tomorrow is either a brand new day to live for him yet again or we’re one day closer to meeting Christ one thing is sure even if Jesus doesn’t come back for the next 15 years I’m going to be meeting him so will you but what a tremendous thing that it’s God’s desire that you and I

experience his glorification and we go around life do we not look honestly I um new pants thank you Costco dirt cheap uh shirt is old but I ironed it this morning why did I even iron it think about it why did I iron it CU I didn’t want to look like a bum in front of you and then you know if Lisa if she would have seen me you are standing in front of those people with a shirt that’s not iron it makes me look bad why both on leisa’s part and on my part we do what we do because there’s a sense of of you

know I’m clean washed shap no it doesn’t say shave didn’t shave today but you know what I mean everything else is is in order what’s the deal imagine there’s a sense where uh can you hang my picture on the wall where’s my trophy self- glorification it’s in human nature we’re trying to accomplish by human effort what God Said can only be done through the work of Jesus Christ at the cross and his glorification is Holy our deification of ourselves is a joke but God is Holy and pure and

remarkable and so we look at it this way verse 31 is the fact that regarding the future in Bible prophecy and you and I being glorified is the fact that we will learn the truth on this we’re studying it now in our Bibles we are Christians and until we meet Jesus we’re learning the truth and it’s glorious is it not when you you pick up your Bible and you read daily you just daily I’m not saying you have to do it to go to go to heaven but people who don’t read their Bibles and and they’re they’re going to be weak

you’re not going to know what’s going on you’re easily LED astray it’s you’re real honestly we love you but in church you’re a real pain because everybody else is 10 10 miles ahead of you and we’re trying to teach you how to get the training wheels off still when you should be advancing with the rest of the team so think about that for a moment you don’t have to read the Bible exactly right to go to church but you got to know what God’s love letter says to you but when you read it it’s amazing

because the words jump off and speak to you and we learn the truth every time we open up the word of God so know this when he says What then shall we say to these things you can almost hear the jewishness of Paul he’s answering a question with a question what do we say to these things it’d go like this so what do we say to these things it’s there’s a beautiful Sanctified sarcasm in the question everything we just read we read not all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are

called according to his purposes to those he called he justified he just all based on his forign all and he’s going this incredible Crescendo of last week’s Bible study and then Paul throws his arm himself and he says what do we say to these things what is the answer and the answer is the question with questions it’s brilliant and you and I learn by them these things Scholars will tell you and they’re right they’ll say these things pertain to the first 30 verses of Romans 8 that is true then some Scholars will tell you it

pertains to the whole book of The Book of Romans itself chapter 1 verse one that is true somebody might say it it reveals the entire word of God being these things what shall we say to these things all of the above the greatness of God and it’s absolutely spectacular and that Bible tells us of us and in John chapter 10 tells it of us that you and I are one with Christ did you know that we don’t understand it we just know the Bible teaches that we’re one with Christ when the Bible tells us that he’s called us out of this world

and made us one with this chist with his son Christ Jesus this is why somebody uh and many people have spoken you know uh one with God is a majority I mean that sounds we get it as Christians but it sounds insane to the world don’t say that to non-christians they’ll think you’re weird but Christians we get it God is never in on the numbers you know that have you noticed that by now in the Bible God has never said okay David wait right here I got to get more men so we can fight this battle against the

Hittites or whatever it is you think about the ratio of size between David and Goliath God’s never in into big numbers listen churches today this is considered a mega church I hate that term it’s label people put that label on as and a mega church is supposed to be a church that’s over 2,000 people okay so we’re listen there’s over 2,000 people just sitting here by far there’s people all over the campus sitting down there’s people in overflow rooms this is second service the exact same thing was going

on the first service and it’s going to happen again at third service God’s not impressed by that God doesn’t stand there in heaven and go oh good wow look at that’s going on down there did you know listen prophetically speaking Jesus says that in the last days the church it’s going to be get pretty dicey he said it’s going to be like a mustard seed that’s planted and it grows into a great tree now we don’t know about mustard seeds but there it’s like I mean I’m talking like the mustard seed

is like the size of a grain of pepper the grain of pepper in your Shaker not the pepper not the pepper like that’s on the trees out there the I’m talking about you know what I’m talking ground pepper that’s the word Mustard Seed is so tiny but when Jesus said it’s going to grow into a big tree every Jew went like this say what what’s he talking about mustard seed growing at it’s the best Miracle Grow perfect fertilizer never gets that big it’s like a bush what’s he talking

about Jesus was talking about a mustard seed grows into a nice healthy Bush and that’s really great but it doesn’t stop there it keeps growing to the point where it becomes odd and watch he says the birds of the air come and Lodge within its branches that’s not a good thing when God cares about something he will always address it specifically this is good stuff for you to know you guys awake you need to know this you ought to write this down it’s going to take you it would cost you a lot of money in Bible

school to get to this when God speaks generically of birds birds of the air it’s not good when he speaks specifically that’s okay your father if one Sparrow falls to the ground he knows of it and he cares but Jesus says for example in Armageddon the birds of the air will come and devour the Flesh of the Dead when Jesus says the birds of the air Lodge in the branches of what the church starts out to be and grows into this anomaly Mischief is in the ranks you don’t walk by a bush and care about covering your head for example if

we have people out here that are trying to find these people because it’s happening did you know that they’re like wolves you leave the sanctuary and there’s people following you and they look normal but they’re from Colts hey what’s what do you think about what he said about can I you want to come to my Bible study and it’s a hook into an established cult things like that you want to be careful Jesus said if you know the truth the truth will set you free and you will be protected well the question is what are

you personally going to do about Bible prophecy again Bible prophecy is God’s awesome ability to tell the future in advance he wrote it down in the Bible so that you and I could know it and the greatest thing that you and I could do is to embrace God’s promises understanding and interpreting the Bible is the key you don’t have to make stuff up God’s word speaks and let God’s word speak to you from itself it’s alive and I pray listen I pray that the Bible does come alive to you as you read it I know

it has for those who have picked it up with hearts open to receive his truth so this is so vitally important and I want to make sure right now before we let you go for today that is that you know Jesus personally friends you can know all about Bible prophecy and not know who Christ is so listen the same God that prophesied these last days is the same God who said that Christ would come that he would die on the cross that he would be resurrected from the dead and that he is the one and only Lord and Savior the

alpha the Omega the beginning the end the first and the last the one who is the one who was the one who is to come the almighty that was God God the son on the cross for you and I trust him trust no one else trust nothing else but him listen father we pray in Jesus name that right now we would give our hearts to you and Trust we’d open up the Bible and we’d get away from all the falsehood and the lies and all of the fog of the day and we would get truth from the scripture and follow you and Lord we confess faith in Jesus Christ as

resurrected Lord and Savior and we pray it in Jesus name friends to help you continue on now go to jacks.com for all of content that’s there available for you to grow God bless you until next time you are watching real life with Jack hiips America is facing unprecedented challenges and turmoil with threats from secular agendas widespread moral corruption and rampant violence everywhere understanding Bible prophecy is more crucial than ever in what you need to know about the Rapture Theologian Charles ryrie explains the
