1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,800 I was on my way back two weeks ago from Germany. 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,240 I was in Italy, then Germany for business meetings. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,280 And then I came back and I was not, I was adjusting to the 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,680 time. I wasn't able to sleep. 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,960 And then there was 1 evening I, I was having this vision or 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,280 vision or dream and I don't know, whatever you call it. 7 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,680 And I woke up and I and I go on my knees and I started to pray 8 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,880 and I went straight to the laptop because it was such a 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,360 revelation. I have no idea whether it is 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,280 from the Holy Spirit, whatever it is, I'm not saying anything. 11 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,040 I'm just saying I'm going to share with you what I've 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:52,160 discovered because right from the start in Genesis, right from 13 00:00:52,160 --> 00:01:00,240 the start, we have you read the word in the beginning, God, but 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,720 you also read in a few chapters later the devil. 15 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,880 So there is God, there is also the devil. 16 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,520 And then later you read there is good and there is evil. 17 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,360 There is light and there is darkness. 18 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,840 It's just like in farming, There is good microbes, there's bad 19 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,920 microbes. I better be careful. 20 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,720 There are a lot of nice, good expert farmers over here. 21 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,600 There is a constant war between good and evil. 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,080 The bad wants to destroy the good and the good just wants to 23 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,560 survive. But they cannot eradicate the 24 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,840 bad. Just like you have a garden, 25 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160 just when you think you pluck out all the weeds, you left it 26 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,120 alone for a couple of weeks or couple of months, and the next 27 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,960 thing you see all the weeds coming back again. 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:02:01,480 So you cannot eradicate evil right away, and as as I was 29 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,320 told, I'm subjected to correction in farming. 30 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,560 In order to fight the bad microbes, you need to overwhelm 31 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,000 them with the good microbes, am I correct? 32 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:28,000 I better check with him. And so likewise, I think it is 33 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,440 very applicable. If you want to suppress evil 34 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,800 corruption in any country, you need to overwhelm them with the 35 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,920 godly people, especially in government. 36 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:47,440 Yeah, because these two will continue to exist side by side 37 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,640 and this war will always continue until Jesus return to 38 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,960 restore His Kingdom's authority once and for all. 39 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,440 There is no more such thing as evil for the next 1000 years. 40 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:08,080 And what happens in the unseen world, in the unseen world of 41 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,920 the microbes, is the same as our present world. 42 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,000 S Eitan wants to you know who is S Eitan, right? 43 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,080 When you put the word together, it is Satan. 44 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:35,520 So Satan is a Chinese S Eitan. He wants to destroy God's 45 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,960 people. He wants to destroy the Jews, 46 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,840 and he wants to destroy Christians. 47 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,120 Yeah. And this is what Paul wrote to 48 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,560 the efficient church. And he says, for we do not 49 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,240 wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, 50 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,680 against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this 51 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,120 age, against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly 52 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,720 places. In other words, Paul is telling 53 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,360 the church, look here, there is a war going on up there that is 54 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,560 unseen, that is invisible. That is nothing going to do with 55 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,160 physical warfare. You can't fight them with 56 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,240 weapons, OK? And Mr. SA Tan is going around 57 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,080 waging a war to win the hearts and minds of people, especially 58 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,240 the young people. And you know, what is his 59 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,240 method? His method, broadly speaking, 60 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,520 OK, is pain and gain. What is pain? 61 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Persecutions. What is gain? 62 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Temptations, lawlessness, that is his basic approach and it 63 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,480 always works. That is why he never changed 64 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,240 much. So lawlessness is pervading 65 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,520 through the world right now. What is lawlessness? 66 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,640 He offer what you want. He caters to your carnal 67 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,000 desires, your freshly desires, unlimited, uncontrolled desires. 68 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,440 That's what he offers you. This is what Paul wrote and he 69 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,920 continued in the next church and he says, so I said walk in the 70 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:35,080 Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh, for 71 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:41,200 the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the 72 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,640 Spirit what is contrary to the flesh, and they are in conflict 73 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,880 with each other so that you are not to do whatever you want and 74 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,040 love to do. There is this invisible conflict 75 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:02,160 going on between the Spirit and the flesh and that is why Paul 76 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:10,680 says the only way to fight this evil is walk by the Spirit, Be 77 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,200 guided by the Holy Spirit. Allow your spiritual GPS to be 78 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:22,000 guided by Heaven's Porter and not always be on your TikTok and 79 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,440 your Facebook. You understand what I'm talking 80 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,680 about? Yeah, I am so happy that my 81 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,280 phone, my mobile phone is very special. 82 00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:42,160 I ordered it from from US actually, but they came from 83 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:51,120 Hong Kong, which means China. And this is a Google Pixel 84 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,120 phone, but there is no Google insight. 85 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,680 We call it the Google phone. Yeah, nothing. 86 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,640 No Google insight. And I'm glad this phone, I don't 87 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,760 download Facebook, I don't download YouTube, I don't 88 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,120 download. I only have necessary apps 89 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,800 inside because I don't want to be distracted. 90 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,360 Too many things in this world are distracting us. 91 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,200 When you go family gathering, everybody is sticking up a 92 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,160 phone. Nobody is talking to each other 93 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,920 anymore. Am I not correct? 94 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,360 Am I telling you something strange? 95 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,960 I think it only happens in Singapore. 96 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,600 Are you Filip? You Filipinos are real great 97 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,640 people. And so and he continues, he give 98 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,800 a list of what is are the works of the flesh and what deposits 99 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,640 sexual immorality, impurity, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, 100 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,960 discord, jealousy, any name. And he says what those who 101 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,240 continue to do such a thing will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 102 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Be very careful. You may not make it if you 103 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,320 continue to live a life of the carnal way. 104 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,240 So let me explain to you. I'm a electrical guy. 105 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:14,680 I'm, I'm not when, when my son and I go to meetings and you 106 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,080 know, I will always introduce them. 107 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:25,800 My son is an engineer. I am engineer NEAR, I'm near the 108 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,520 engine. So here's the real deal. 109 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,120 So if you and I know those days, we used to have this crazy 110 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,400 fluorescent tube and to use the fluorescent tube, you need to 111 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:49,360 have a about us. And I am from the old school. 112 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:54,960 We are one of the largest importers of this from Europe to 113 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,920 Singapore and to South East Asia. 114 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,080 So this is how the fluorescent tube works. 115 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,080 Let me explain. OK, this is the secretary. 116 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,880 If you are engineer, you roughly know your AC supply, OK goes in, 117 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240 it goes through the we call it the choke. 118 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,680 Why they call it the chook? American call it the current 119 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:23,120 limiting device. Why they it's to limit the 120 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,120 current going in? Because you know why the 121 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,200 fluorescent tube without this chook will draw too much 122 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,680 current. So if it draws too much current, 123 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,920 the chook is the one that prevents this tube from drawing 124 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,360 too much. It's a very hungry thing. 125 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,720 We, you know, by our own flesh, we are the same. 126 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,320 If we are offered everything unlimited, we will consume 127 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,320 everything unlimited, and then we will go. 128 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,120 And then you know what happened. If without the choke, you know 129 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,480 what happened, this tube will light up very bright. 130 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,640 Oh, you enjoy yourself very extinguished by itself. 131 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,080 And so the choke is like the Holy Spirit. 132 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,760 It limits the current that you are supposed to draw. 133 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,080 OK. And this is where my business, 134 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,480 this is where I make a lot of money from them. 135 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,840 So, so this choke limits the current according to the 136 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,480 specification of the tube. So if you are a four feet tube, 137 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,760 this device will give you only the current that is meant for 138 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,080 the four feet tube. If you are a 2 feet tube, this 139 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,920 device will only give you and limit the current of a 2 feet 140 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,000 tube. Why? 141 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,320 So that you can have a longer life span, useful life. 142 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:50,800 And so this is like a spiritual walk. 143 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:59,600 If you are totally unbreeded and uncontrolled, yeah, I know 144 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,680 you're going to enjoy yourself very bright. 145 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:08,040 Next thing you're extinguished. We need the Holy Spirit. 146 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240 He is the current limiting device for all of us. 147 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,240 Yeah, something like that. And the same thing goes the next 148 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,400 slide. And so Christ talks about the 149 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,880 last days and he provide us with a lot of info from Matthew 24, 150 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,000 Mark chapter 13, Luke 21. And all those all the signs of 151 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,240 his second coming and Satan method continue to be the same 152 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,320 pain and gain in the last days. And here there will be a lot of 153 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,360 persecutions in the last days, but there will also be a lot of 154 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:57,640 lawlessness. So the better continues, the 155 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:03,240 unseen better continues all the way into the last days until 156 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,480 Christ return and do a regime change. 157 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,280 In the last days Jesus talks about lawlessness will increase 158 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,120 because lawlessness. Lawlessness is the same as the 159 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,800 whole list of the works of the flesh. 160 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,600 They will increase and the love of many will grow cold. 161 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,680 The Internet is one source of lawlessness. 162 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,840 It promotes the unlimited drawing of the current. 163 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:47,120 If you're not careful, you get suck into it and you will not 164 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,960 inherit the Kingdom of God. And in the another translation 165 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,600 it says and because lawlessness shall have been multiplied and 166 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:05,480 it is multiplying right now, and the NIVNIRV and NIV both they 167 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,040 say it is evil shall increase, wickedness shall increase. 168 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,560 And the Greek word for lawlessness, alumnia, that means 169 00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:20,400 it's against the law. Basically, it's against the law. 170 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,880 And this word in Greek is not just going against the law of 171 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,240 the country. I mean, it's ridiculous. 172 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,400 Sorry. You know, in the US when you see 173 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:39,600 people going against the law enforcement officers, it's 174 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640 ridiculous. It's not just going against the 175 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,160 law of the country. It is also going against the law 176 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:53,440 of nature, the law of anything. The boy can become girl, girl 177 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,680 can become boy. And this is exactly what Paul is 178 00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:03,880 talking about in the next slide. And he says don't let anyone 179 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,440 deceive you for that day. That means the coming of Christ 180 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,720 will not happen until you see two key events. 181 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,240 And one of the key events is the man, the rebellion take place. 182 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,560 That is the apostasy of the church, which is already 183 00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:24,320 happening in US, in UK where the churches are turning to LGBT. 184 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,040 OK. And now we are watching Who is 185 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,920 this man of lawlessness promoting the flesh, promoting 186 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,320 the frozen tube without the ballast? 187 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,080 He's coming, but we don't know who yet. 188 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,800 Surely not me. I'm a good guy. 189 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,880 Of course we are seeing that in the US through the we call them 190 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,320 the Demon Crack party. Demons. 191 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:03,200 And also the Labour Party in the UK there are just crazy, like 192 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,800 what Trump called them crazy. Sorry, I don't quite like Trump, 193 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,400 but I think he's doing a great job. 194 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:19,240 He's a nightmare for the LGBTS. So you see, lawlessness means 195 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,680 there is no scarcity of sex within marriage. 196 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,680 Premarital sex is being promoted. 197 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,840 It's a free sex world and it results in so many abortions in 198 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:39,560 America. Looks like 2024 went beyond 199 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,600 1,000,000 unborn babies. And look at this girl. 200 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,320 She decided to be a she's such a lovely looking girl. 201 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,840 You look as she removed her breasts just to be a boy. 202 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,360 This is the kind of evil that is going on and it's spreading and 203 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,080 it's coming over to this part of the world. 204 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,360 That's right. And you know, when my friends in 205 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,640 Singapore are always James, why are you so concerned about what 206 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,360 goes on in America? I say, look here. 207 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,280 Whatever happens in America spreads all over the world. 208 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,720 Trust me. Look at McDonald's everywhere 209 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,480 now. Oh, isn't it true? 210 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,680 Yeah. So what are we supposed to do? 211 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,240 This is what the message is all about. 212 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,360 Be very careful. Walk by the Spirit. 213 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,880 The thing is this, it appears right now that the whole world 214 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,280 is moving towards the same direction of lawlessness, and 215 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,400 the easy way is for us to flow along that. 216 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,240 The difficult way and the harder way is to follow Jesus all the 217 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,280 way. And there is no in between, no 218 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,000 compromise. That's right, You remember this, 219 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:04,240 the story about Jesus talking about the broad gate and the 220 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,040 narrow gate. And finally towards the end of 221 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,319 his parable, he, he says that in the last days there will be a 222 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,359 lot of people who will come before me. 223 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,760 And he says, Lord, Lord, I have cast out demons. 224 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,680 How can you don't know me? I'm on YouTube. 225 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,560 I'm a mega church. You know, it cannot be. 226 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,960 You don't know me. It's impossible. 227 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,640 My name is Jacob. I shouldn't be using my own 228 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,840 name. Oh, this is oh, that's bad. 229 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,720 And Jesus says I don't know you. These are prominent guys. 230 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:54,680 And he says depart from me. You who practice lawlessness, 231 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,800 NIV calls it evildoers because lawlessness is as good as evil 232 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,760 doing. And this word lawlessness comes 233 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:14,720 from the same Greek word anomia. Outwardly these guys are calling 234 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,080 him Lord, Lord, Lord. You know, somebody was saying, 235 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,840 how do you tell you can you can tell the pretenders and the 236 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,240 genuine ones, where where can you find them? 237 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,960 They say in the church. Yeah, because many were 238 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,840 professed Lord, Lord, but they'd really never meant to make him 239 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,400 Lord. And so these other people, 240 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,320 outwardly, they call him Lord. I remember my American founding 241 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,880 pastor used to say this. If you, if he is not the Lord of 242 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,960 all, he is not the Lord at all. I think you must have heard that 243 00:18:53,960 --> 00:19:01,080 before, right? So when you call him Lord, you 244 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,160 have to mean it. But even though you don't mean 245 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,720 it, it doesn't really matter because the test will come 246 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,560 because Jesus at the end of the parable in Matthew Chapter 7, 247 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,440 there will be the storm test that is coming. 248 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:24,560 The rain, the flood, the wind is going to come and only those who 249 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,360 built their lives upon the rock, the genuine followers of Christ, 250 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,480 they will be able to withstand it. 251 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:40,640 And Paul warning to those who continue to want to sin and they 252 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,120 make it very clear the consequences. 253 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,120 Verse 24, can you see and God gave them up. 254 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:58,720 Verse 26, God give them up, and verse 28 God give them over. 255 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:04,760 It's a very scary thing to continue to want to sin. 256 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,440 It's a very scary thing when God give us up. 257 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:20,280 If you continue to grieve the Holy Spirit, if you continue to 258 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,080 want to. Entertain lawlessness the flesh 259 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,720 God one day is going to say bye bye to you. 260 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:38,320 And not only that, the last verse 28 is even worse and God 261 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,240 will give them over. In other words, since you want 262 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,160 to continue this way, I will allow you this way. 263 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,680 I help you along and make you even worse. 264 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:57,040 Be very careful. I was 25 years old some 20 years 265 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:03,040 ago, you know, and I know. How is it like, yeah, there are 266 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,440 a lot of temptations even in my time. 267 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,320 But it is very scary when God gave us up. 268 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:21,640 We don't want that to happen. Sometimes it's good that we talk 269 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,160 about the wrath of God, not just the love of God. 270 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,600 The problem in today is we always kick off with the Gospel 271 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,160 of John 316 for God so loved the world, but we've forgotten John 272 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:39,320 313 all the way down. How this verse 16 come about. 273 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,360 That is the reason why we are doing hermeneutics with 274 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:45,280 everybody. Always take the context, the 275 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,200 passage. Why are we talking about the 276 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,000 love of God only? It is understood He loves us 277 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,400 because the love of God is not the problem. 278 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,240 We are the problem. We have the flesh to worry 279 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,600 about. We have the lawlessness to 280 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,240 tackle. We should be talking about this 281 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,160 more because the love of God is constant. 282 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:12,240 We we are not constant. And so it's about time we start 283 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,360 talking about hell, but you don't talk about anymore. 284 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,120 And Paul, make it very clear. Those who continue in the flesh 285 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,880 will not inherit the Kingdom of God means you inherit the 286 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,200 Kingdom of Satan. You end up in hell. 287 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,520 You know, in Singapore, we call it don't pray, play. 288 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,160 That means don't play around. Yeah, OK. 289 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,280 That is our colloquial way. Don't mess around. 290 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,040 Don't play. Play OK and the next slide and 291 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,640 Paul continue. He's very strong on this, you 292 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600 know, Paul continue and he says do not be deceived. 293 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,960 Don't you ever think God is mock, OK, Whatever a man sows, 294 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,640 he will also reap. But he who sows to the flesh 295 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,000 will reap corruption, but he will sow to the Spirit will of 296 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,640 the Spirit leap, leap life everlasting. 297 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,400 And he encourages us in verse 9. But let us not grow weary. 298 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,720 Let us not be tired. Let us not give up. 299 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:28,880 Oh, this one, give up on me. Let us not give up, OK? 300 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,120 For in due season there will be a time we're going to enjoy the 301 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:39,320 fruits of our labour. And there are people who thinks 302 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,880 that they can mock God, they can mock the church by living a life 303 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,520 of uncontrolled flesh kind of ways. 304 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,640 You know, some people, they are offended by the pastor. 305 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,360 Ah, I decided to leave the church. 306 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,160 I go on drinking. I go on visit all kinds of 307 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,720 institutions except the mental institutions. 308 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,320 And they continue to do whatever they want. 309 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,560 They think they are mocking God. Oh, there will be consequences. 310 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,240 Next slide. Look at this young man over here 311 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,800 just few days ago he went to court few days only. 312 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,120 This was reported last year he was charged 110. 313 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:32,920 Bright young men, future doctor living in Melbourne. 314 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,720 He have hidden cameras in the hospitals, changing rooms, 315 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,840 bathing area for all the females. 316 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,880 He was catering to the flesh and he thought he can get away with 317 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,880 it. Oh, your sin will find you out. 318 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,600 That's right, right. These are the consequences. 319 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:01,320 Whatever you reap, whatever you sow, you reap. 320 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,160 You may sow something now that you think you enjoy, but it will 321 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:14,200 come back to haunt you. OK, but while all these are 322 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,800 going on, it appears that we are in a very green environment. 323 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:28,400 But God have given us examples of hope from the Scriptures and 324 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:34,760 today I call this the Joseph generation that God is going to 325 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,360 raise up. And when I told a pastor about 326 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,160 Joseph generation, he got a shock. 327 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,040 See that was the same thing that the Lord spoke to him. 328 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:54,520 And now in my dream and my vision, whatever, somehow it 329 00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:04,720 connects in the last days, Joseph in the first book where 330 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:12,280 one young man called Joseph, one man that God has provided us as 331 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:18,520 a role model. He refused to give in to 332 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,040 lawlessness and the temptation of free sex. 333 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:27,400 But he suffered and yet he passed the test And see Mrs. 334 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:34,560 Potiphar one day. Notice this young man was well 335 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:45,640 built and handsome like me. She tames him with free sex. 336 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:49,840 Now Can you imagine if you are alone with this hardly dressed 337 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,720 woman? It's very, very difficult to 338 00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,360 resist temptation, but he decided not to. 339 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,800 He fled, and this is what he said. 340 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,240 My master has put me in charge of almost everything. 341 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,800 Now he doesn't have to worry about anything in the house. 342 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,640 He trusts me to take care of everything he owns. 343 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,160 No one in this house in higher position than I am. 344 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,520 My master hasn't held anything back from me except you. 345 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,680 You are his wife. Can you recognize that you are 346 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,640 his wife? You don't. 347 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,560 There must be some rules. There must be some limitations 348 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:43,840 to whatever you want to do. You don't get involved with 349 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,080 someone's else's wife. How could I do such an evil 350 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,080 thing like that? And how could I see it against 351 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,160 God? Now you see, you notice this one 352 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:00,160 thing that actually from here we discover 2 very important values 353 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:07,840 of integrity #1 he values earthly relationship, OK? 354 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,000 And that is very critical. You know, these are the guys 355 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,360 that we want to look for when we want to hire someone who 356 00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:20,520 recognise the boss. And he's grateful to the boss 357 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,600 for breaking him up to this level. 358 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,320 And he wants to remain faithful. And he will not do such an evil 359 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,040 thing as to try to encroach into his private relationship with 360 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,560 his wife. Husband and wife relationship is 361 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:42,280 sacred. Are you hearing me when I. 362 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,520 Oh, sorry. I don't have my ring anymore 363 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,800 because the ring is. The ring is too tight. 364 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,880 I'm surprised I put on weight. Yeah. 365 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,400 So. So my wife tell me to take it 366 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,160 up. So with her permission, I took 367 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,120 it up. I'm in the business world. 368 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:06,840 There are a lot of temptations. One Indonesian businessman, very 369 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,560 rich guy. My boss told me you better sit 370 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,720 down with him. He likes you. 371 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,160 You better have dinner with him. OK, Dinner, Ken. 372 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,120 And after dinner he insists that I go with him to those 373 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,760 nightclubs. Youngers dancing naked. 374 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,000 I said, you want me to go, boss? You go. 375 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,560 No, no, no, you go. OK, I go. 376 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,920 I swallow my saliva. So you know what I did? 377 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,000 I went to the nightclub together with this business guy. 378 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:54,200 The first I saw the stage there I sat my back facing the stage 379 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,920 and throughout the so-called entertainment time with all the 380 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,200 food I eat the food, I never turn back. 381 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,880 And then he would say to me, why are you not turning back to 382 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,760 look? You should be enjoyed. 383 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,960 I said, you know, my dear friend, I really told you I 384 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,720 enjoy your company very much. I mean, you are a good guy. 385 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,840 I like to do business with you. But you know, I don't need all 386 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,800 this. It's OK. 387 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,000 And besides, I'm married. I have a wife. 388 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,040 Please understand. You know, too. 389 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:43,160 One woman is enough trouble. A woman better forgive me. 390 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:56,560 I, I, I I don't mean it. The second very important values 391 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,080 of integrity is he values his heavenly relationship with God. 392 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,400 He do not want to offend God. He do not want to have a rupture 393 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,480 of relationship between the one that he loved, the one that had 394 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,240 brought him through trust and promotion as well. 395 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,920 He will not want to hurt God. I think many times it's very, 396 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,600 very, very important that we have these two critical values 397 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,800 of godly integrity that will see us through. 398 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:33,240 And Joseph becomes a model of uncompromising purity and one 399 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,000 that never lose hope even though he's being accused wrongly and 400 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,800 God finally fulfill his God-given dream. 401 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,160 He was promoted to be #2 and just when he was about to give 402 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,760 up his dream, you remember he even called his first son. 403 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:55,200 What is his first son? Name your son. 404 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,040 No, no, Manessa. You know what's Manessa? 405 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,560 Forget. Forget. 406 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,000 I don't think you like to call your son forget. 407 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,160 You forget everything. He forget because you know why 408 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,720 He says God has made me forget about all my sufferings. 409 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,160 I don't want to remember it anymore. 410 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,360 But do you really think God may he forget? 411 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,080 No, it was the next chapter you read carefully. 412 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,440 His brothers appear again. But it is a God-given dream. 413 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,200 He will make it come to pass. And his brothers came and bowed 414 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,560 down before him. Ladies and gentlemen, when God 415 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,360 give you a dream, you will go through difficult times 416 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:49,560 sometimes, but never give up. And there are a lot of young 417 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,640 people over here today. God has granted you dreams about 418 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,840 what He's going to use you for in the future. 419 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,520 Don't give up. Don't let temptations come along 420 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:09,680 the way to get you into trouble. And I am believing that in the 421 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,440 last days God is going to raise up more Joseph. 422 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:20,080 They refuse to submit themselves to the pains, that is 423 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,360 persecution, and they refuse to submit themselves to the gains, 424 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:30,040 temptation and lawlessness. And then in my so-called vision, 425 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,120 suddenly I was led to this passage. 426 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:41,080 Revelations chapter 14 verse one to four and then John says I 427 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,480 look and there in front of me was the land. 428 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,040 He was standing at Mount Zion. That means he already had 429 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,800 returned. OK. 430 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:56,840 With him were 144,000 people. Written on the foreheads were 431 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:01,120 his name and his father's name and they had not committed 432 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,920 sexual sins with women. They had kept themselves pure, 433 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:16,239 their mouths told no life integrity again. 144,000 Jewish 434 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:25,280 young men Genesis chapter 1 you have one young man in the last 435 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:32,960 days. 144,000 Joseph. Just when we think we are going 436 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:38,520 to be overwhelmed by evil and lawlessness, God has his 437 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,800 randoms. And so these are the Jewish 438 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,760 people. Let me continue. 439 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:51,760 There is another kind of Joseph generation that are non Jewish 440 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,960 as well. And when I began to look at 441 00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:02,840 scriptures, I discovered that in Revelations Chapter 7, right 442 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:08,720 after the 144,000 are being announced in Chapter 7 and then 443 00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:12,680 jump over to chapter 14. That's why sometimes Revelation 444 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:19,120 can make you very confused. That is why I avoid studying the 445 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,720 book of Revelations that I ask your pastor to do it. 446 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,680 He's more intellectual than me. I'm very confused. 447 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:33,720 And so Chapter 7 talks about the inauguration of the 144,000. 448 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:38,840 And after the inauguration of this so-called Joseph 449 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:45,440 generation, later you discover that there is another 450 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:51,040 generation, the multitudes and multitudes that he cannot even 451 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,240 count. And he says that these are the 452 00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:56,840 ones who came out of the great tribulation. 453 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,760 They are dressed in their their in their white robes. 454 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,920 They came out from the great tribulation. 455 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,800 That means it is after the tribulation already. 456 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,560 It's after Jesus return. Who are these guys that are 457 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,680 beyond count? You can't number them and and 458 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,000 John recorded for us. They are from different tribes, 459 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,960 different countries, different tongues, so many of them 460 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,920 millions I believe. Who are these people? 461 00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:34,600 What we know is that they suffer, they go through thirst, 462 00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:38,840 they go through hunger but they survive the 3.5 years great 463 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,280 tribulation and they were rewarded. 464 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,560 They were dressed in white robe and God recognised them. 465 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:54,280 And I am of the opinion Revelations Chapter 7 verse 14, 466 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,720 this group of multitudes of Saints have to be the same group 467 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:05,120 found in Matthew chapter 24 where Jesus says those who 468 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:12,680 endure to the end. These are the multitudes and 469 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,800 multitudes and the millions of Saints around the world that God 470 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,480 is raising up. They refuse to submit to Satan's 471 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,640 pain and gains, and they endure to the end. 472 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,760 And if you read the context and I was running through again and 473 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,120 again, I was praying about it. And so towards the end, Jesus 474 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,760 says because lawlessness shall abound. 475 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,720 We read this already, but he who endures to the end shall be 476 00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:43,600 saved. Endures what I mean not just 477 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,040 your wife, but you have to endure temptation. 478 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,280 You have to endure lawlessness, you have to endure persecutions, 479 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,920 endure to the end. The end of what? 480 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:04,080 The end of the 3.5 years. So Revelations Chapter 7, verse 481 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:09,160 14 are likely to be these guys who endure to the end. 482 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,480 They are like Joseph. They refuse to budget. 483 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,360 They refuse to be part of the B system. 484 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,120 They don't want to get jacked. I'm sorry. 485 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,760 I'm not jacked because I was almost jacked. 486 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,320 You know the mRNA, but I didn't thank God. 487 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,120 My wife got a revelation. Actually, it's not revelation. 488 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,240 Actually, I show him, show her the video, but her friends show 489 00:38:33,240 --> 00:38:35,160 her the same video that she listened to her friends. 490 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:41,720 She don't listen to me. And then you read the next 491 00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:44,400 verse, NCV. Another version says those 492 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,920 people who kept their faith until the end will be safe. 493 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:55,440 But what are they kept safe for? For what there is a purpose and 494 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,640 this is where the next verse comes in and this gospel of the 495 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:07,280 Kingdom, these are the guys that God is going to use for the last 496 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,160 days massive Holy Spirit revival around the world because these 497 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,720 are the guys that refuse to budget. 498 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,320 These are the guys that are the Joseph generation, OK, 499 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,000 Persecution will not affect them. 500 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,600 Temptation will not affect them. They are the guys that choose to 501 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:28,880 walk the narrow gate and, and you know something, God will use 502 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,440 the last days persecutions and the temptations to sieve up the 503 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,280 wolves among the ship. And then when they are being 504 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,920 done away with, God unleashes those people who are ready to 505 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,120 endure to the end. And they will be the one that 506 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,920 this gospel, the Kingdom will be pitched to the whole world and 507 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,400 the God will use them for this massive evangelism. 508 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,160 And these are the Joseph generation that God is looking 509 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,160 for. The non Jews. 510 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,240 Do you see the flow? I never saw it until I further 511 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:06,720 study after that so-called dream that I have. 512 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,960 And so it is very encouraging for us to know we are not alone. 513 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,360 We are not alone. I have testimonies after 514 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,520 testimonies because we support church planters in persecuted 515 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:32,360 area in India, Indonesia, oh Pakistan. 516 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:38,200 I forget to mention tough and these are the guys that we 517 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:44,000 salute them. They endure to the end very 518 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,080 tough. We visit them, we know how is it 519 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:56,680 like and after those who endure to the end and after the gospel 520 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,400 is being preached to the whole world after this non Jews Joseph 521 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:10,120 generation rise up and begin to reach out and then the end come 522 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,960 and then later you ever discover where Jesus himself said 523 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,240 immediately after the tribulation, the Son of man 524 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,760 comes and then he gathered the elect and you look at the word 525 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,560 elect. Don't get confused, OK, The 526 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,400 Greek word it's very hard to pronounce. 527 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,040 Go mine. It's a go mine, OK. 528 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,640 Just remember it is like a selection process. 529 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:50,520 It is not as though it is an arbitrary approach in the 530 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,480 political context, election or to be chosen. 531 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,720 It's not a one way thing, it's a two way thing, OK. 532 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:04,360 There is a call and there are those who respond to this call 533 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,480 and that is what election is all about. 534 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,760 And it's like the Army, for example, in the Army we're going 535 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,880 to recruit commandos. And what happened? 536 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,600 Those who answer the call, they join in, they go through the 537 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:25,400 course and if they survive the test, the commander or the 538 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,640 defence minister, ladies and gentlemen, today I present to 539 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,760 you those chosen ones because they survive the test. 540 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,040 So there are two way, there is a call and there are those who 541 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:44,560 answer the call and it is the same as what Paul in his first 542 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:52,320 sermon in Acts chapter 2, verse 21, whoever calls on the name of 543 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,520 the Lord. You see there is this response 544 00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,600 to the core and as many as the Lord our God called verse 39. 545 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,120 So you see it's a two way process. 546 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,600 It's not a one way where God only choose. 547 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,840 It is very clear when Jesus said it. 548 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,640 That is why he says in Matthew chapter 20 verse 16 and 22 verse 549 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:22,160 14 and he says many are called, few are chosen right, some are 550 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:27,080 frozen. So now we understand you can, 551 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,840 you can answer the call, but if you don't endure to the end, you 552 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,800 are not selected, you're not part of it, you're not meant to 553 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,640 be it, or maybe you just refuse to be, to be enduring to the 554 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,680 end. And So what will occur 555 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:48,800 immediately after the tribulation, immediately after 556 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,840 the tribulation, those multitudes who have gone through 557 00:43:54,200 --> 00:44:01,080 the tribulation, these are the guys that are the one that 558 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,280 endures to the end. So now I'm going to end my my 559 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,920 presentation, my thesis, so to say. 560 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,440 OK, there are some Bible school lecturer here. 561 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:20,480 I hope you pass me. There is this link which I see 562 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,600 it's my opinion. There is this link between the 563 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:34,200 first book and the last book. The first book tells us there is 564 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:41,400 one man, a Jewish young man, that refused to give way to 565 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:48,160 lawlessness. He refused to give way to free 566 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,480 sex. He suffered, but he passed the 567 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,960 test. He endured to the end. 568 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:01,080 And he gives us a picture of consecration, purity, godliness, 569 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:07,360 sanctifications and holiness. And this link all the way to the 570 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:16,040 last book, 144,000 Jewish young men that God is raising up. 571 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:22,840 Like Joseph, they refused to have any sexual sins. 572 00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:28,920 They kept themselves pure, untainted, uncompromised, fully 573 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,000 consecrated to him. And in between, before the last 574 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:41,160 days, Jesus told us there is another group, non Jewish, 575 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:47,560 multitudes, uncountable. And these are the millions of 576 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,920 people that God is also raising up. 577 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,360 And they will be the one that will be used for the last bit, 578 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,280 last days evangelism. Wow. 579 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:05,880 And I think there is a link. So the first book reveals 1 580 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:11,520 Joseph, the last book reveals to us we are not alone. 144,000 581 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:15,280 Joseph. And in between God is going to 582 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,000 raise up more than just that millions uncountable in the last 583 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,480 days. And ladies and gentlemen, young 584 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:35,160 people, listen to me carefully. God is calling you to be the 585 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:43,160 Joseph generation, but you are going to stand the test of pain 586 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:49,160 and also gain. But I'm telling you it's worth 587 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:55,520 it. Why do I say that? 588 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,400 You look at the current world situation, it is the young 589 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,200 people that are making the impact. 590 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:06,200 In Bangladesh, they overthrew the government, in Nepal, the 591 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,720 same and now in Iran. And many of them are Christians 592 00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:13,920 who are dying at the hands of Ayatollah. 593 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,880 And then in the US you have Charlie Cook. 594 00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:22,800 God is raising up young people and I think there is a model in 595 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,280 the Philippines. Next line, you know this guy, 596 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,400 he's the vice mayor of Quezon City. 597 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:39,960 This guy, his mum is a pastor and he is totally transparent. 598 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,320 He opened up all his books on the Internet. 599 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,840 Anybody can see how much money he spent. 600 00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:48,600 Who are the the open open tenders given? 601 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,680 No such thing as closed tender phone call. 602 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,600 Hey, hello. You know you couldn't express no 603 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,480 such thing. Everything is open. 604 00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:00,080 This guy is making an impact and you do Bible studies in the 605 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,120 office. God is calling you guys. 606 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,000 Young people, don't fall for the devil's skin. 607 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:17,080 Keep yourself pure. I want to go back to election 608 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,360 again. Don't ever think that election. 609 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,320 I mean, that is what you have the Calvinist, you have the 610 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:31,080 harmonist and I believe both are correct. 611 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,920 Yeah, I believe both are correct. 612 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,640 You cannot explain just Calvinism alone. 613 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,720 You going to explain harmonism as well. 614 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:47,080 But if you just based on Calvinism, God have already 615 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,920 decided who he wants and he has and he is arbitrary selecting 616 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,880 hey, you, what are you good looking guy? 617 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,920 You're in and you what are you pretty looking? 618 00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:05,720 You're in me gone. There is there is a standard 619 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,480 process. God is an organised God. 620 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,200 Just look at the universe from the day God created the 621 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,480 universe. You don't see the moon come 622 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,600 crashing towards the earth. It stays within the orbit. 623 00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:24,880 You look at the solar system, God is an organised God. 624 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:30,640 There is a process and one of the process I believe is he who 625 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,320 endures to the end. And this is the process. 626 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,880 We are the elect if we choose to endure to the end. 627 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,480 And so ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to just wrap this up with 628 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,480 The Last Light. Just remember what Rand 629 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,640 Hartbourne cases when he was very young as a kid, he went to 630 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,840 the altar and he knelt down and this is what he prayed. 631 00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:00,440 Lord, help me to mind in the beginning what matters in the 632 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,640 end. In other words, what you start 633 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,120 now better think about what is going to end. 634 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:10,880 Don't just think about the beginning, the fun, OK, the 635 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,120 gains, think about the pain later. 636 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:20,480 So ladies and gentlemen, God wants all of us to be part of 637 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:27,720 this Joseph generation. If you want to feed the hungry, 638 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:34,840 you must first have purity before God can use us to help 639 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:39,040 the last days people. God is looking for an untainted 640 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,960 Joseph generation.
