Let's read from Revelation, chapter 21.
We're going to read again. The first date versus remember,
we're continuing with our series.
Of the new Moors of Heaven. Revelation 21 would read verses
1 through to eat reading of coerced from the authorized
version. Revelation 21 verse 1 and I saw
a new Heaven and a new Earth for the first Heaven.
And the first Earth were passed away, and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city. New Jerusalem coming down from
God out of Heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband
and I heard a great voice out of Heaven.
Saying behold, the Tabernacle of God is with, man And he will
dwell with them and they shall be his people.
And God himself shall be with them and be their God, and God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be
any more Pian for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, behold I make all things
you and he said unto me rate for these words are true and
faithful and he said unto me, it is done.
I am Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end I will
give unto him. That is athirst of the Fountain
of the Water of Life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit
all things and I will be his God, he shall be my son, but the
fearful and unbelieving and the Abominable and murderers and
whoremongers and Sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall
have their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death.
No, my text tonight is taken from Revelation 21:4 and I
themed art. Topic.
This evening is entitled, no more Pian.
Now, this is the fifth message in the miniseries that I've
entitled, the new mores of have them.
There's something else here that is not found in the new Heaven
and the new Earth. Not only is there no more sea
and no more death and no more sorrow and No More Tears.
There's also no more peeing. Look at Revelation, 21 verse 4
and it says, neither shall there be any more p.m.
For the former things are passed away.
Now, you're 39 references in the Bible to p.m. the first
reference is in 1st, Samuel 4 verse 19 and let's connect it to
pee in that women experience, and childbirth, and the last
references Revelation, 21. And for neither shall there be
any more pain and in between there's numerous references that
teach us about the different types of Pian, And yet, here in
Revelation 20:4 and one we read there shall not be any more
peeing. And you see, I believe that John
was inspired to study it and declare neither shall be any
more Pian. And he was using the word Pian
in the widest sense possible. He was cleaning, everything that
causes Pian regardless of its source.
And to me, at least, it's very significant that the Holy Spirit
distinguishes between death as a subject, sorrow, as a subject,
Years as a subject and then he adds this name either shall
there be any more Pian you see? When we think of peeing we think
of bodily Pian. No that's included but it's much
waiter. It goes more deeper than bodily
pain and we're being told that in the new Heaven and the new
Earth. They the whole world, the Gambit
of Pian has been completely abolished there.
We see adverts and TV Billboards, stand in Belfast and
other cities promoting a pain-free life. if you've got a
painful headache, or you've got a painful toothache or you've
got a Sleepless Nate. You can have a Pian free time.
See, nobody likes Pian Pian. Something we want to try and
avoid and anything offering a Pian.
Anyone offering a Pian free life is very appealing.
Try this cream. Take these pills talk to the
school. Counselor go and see this doctor
and of course, they're generating billions of pounds
per year for the industry that suffering this p and free life
stay. But I want to tell you sadly, I
believe it's false advertising. You see, there's no such thing,
young people, as a Pian free life, a Pian free life is an
illusion and the world. Appian free life as a patron,
the simple fact of life as this Pian is a fact of life.
If you'd learned that tonight, you would learn a lot peeing as
a fact of life. We have to live with p.m. from
the day. You're born to your day attack.
I'm not suggesting pians desirable.
I'm not suggesting it. You say well give me loads of
Pian because I wouldn't want that.
But what I'm saying is p and as distinguishable because Pian is
a fact of life, there's a wide variety of different kinds of
Pian and in there This world as we see and do it.
But John is telling us, he's acting as a fearful wetness.
He's talking to put the world to come the new Heaven and the new
Earth and once he tells us that it's Lake, neither shall there
be any more peeing, why? Think of this, the piano of sin
has been abolished forever. See.
Do you know that all kinds of Pian that I could talk about
tonight or a doctor could talk about and it professionally as
the result of sin? You see the first time there's a
hint of concept of Pian is found in Genesis chapter 3 and in the
verse 16 and in Genesis 3:16 God is speaking to Eve, the fall has
occurred the fall into a state of sin and measuring.
And he says this unto the woman, he said, I will greatly multiply
thy sorrow and thy conception in sorrow, thou, Thou shalt bring
forth children and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he
shall rule over they now, think of these worse.
Adam, and Eve had sinned against God, Amber learning hear the
true origin of Pian is connected to sin.
Pian is the byproduct of sand. There's a direct length of
correlation between p and and It's part of God's punishment
that Humanity. Was that Eve is the first
mother. And remember, she's the mother
of all living was that woman would have sorrow in childbirth,
and the Hebrew word for sorrow was used in Genesis 3:16 is
associated with Pian, physical Pia, emotional Pian, mental
Pian, that's why in the law of first reference over there.
And first Samuel and chapter 4 and verse 19.
Let Listen to these words. First Samuel 4 verse 19, and his
daughter-in-law. Phanie a house wife was with
child near to be delivered and what you heard, the tidings that
the Ark of God was taken and that are father-in-law and her
husband were dead. She by herself and revealed.
Listen to these words for her pians Came Upon her and that
word paeans is connected to the word sorrow, and Genesis 3 and
verse 16. And that's the very first
reference to the word Pian end the Bible.
The daughter-in-law of Eli, his family has his way, we don't
even know where near him and says, here's the news.
The Ark of God has been taken and your husband's dead and your
father-in-law will, he has fallen off a stew and he's dead.
You can just imagine the shock of that use and this woman went
into labor and the Bible says, her pians Came Upon her.
I'm part of that Pian and childbirth is physical
emotional, and mental, pain and physical emotional, mental pain,
as connected with childbirth. Human pee in them as the result
of sin. And no matter the kind, or the
type of peeing that we all talk about, it's all connected.
The center. We all experience Pian in all
our lives and that Pian is connected to you.
In the result of sin, you have to think of the fall into sin of
our first parents, Adam and Eve. and I know and I'm sure it's
hard to think about suffering p.m.
Acute P, chronic Pia. It's not hard to continue
working on, if you're in, chronic pain.
But in the garden, you're doing some weeding is coming up to the
spring of the year. You get a thorn in your finger.
Well, I don't work on, I commend crying.
I'm looking to row straight. I've got a thorn.
I'm a finger. You better get it out.
That's for robbing. Well, that's me.
Cousin II. Can't stand much pee.
But isn't it hard to continue working on when you're in peony
and it's hard to worship when you're in P and physically
emotionally and mentally. It's hard to engage your heart
and what you're doing. You see Pian is teaching us
about our free all day. Teaching us about our weakness,
teaching us about our dependence on God, and all kinds of pea and
regardless of what it is has to remind us if we're thinking
things biblically of the evil of sin.
So when you get a Addict. Eating too much chocolate.
Like I do I have to think of sin or you get the toothache or the
sleepless Nate. Or maybe your bother your
nerves. That p.m. has to be a remainder
of arson. It's a harbor.
It's a messenger about arson. It's a saying of God's
punishment, because of sin. And yet, the Bible tells us that
in the new Heaven and the new Earth.
That one day, there'll be no more peeing.
God will abolish it. All and Heaven and the Earth is
the only place were peeing will be abolished.
So she'll think of that, no more back pain.
No more arthritis, no more headaches, do more too thick, no
more sore legs. No, more sore hounds don't
Warsaw race. No, more.
Sure Hearts. How many people have sore Hearts
tonight, you can't see their sore heart, but their hopes were
Hearts. I can tell you that.
She physical paeans real. Physical Pian can be external
but physical Pian can be internal, and it could be linked
to our emotional state. It could be linked to our mental
state, it can be linked to our spiritual, see it gave me link
to our financial standing Good thing to notice.
That Pian All Canes, as a result of sin, as I've told you tried
to teach you here. It is connected to the Pian of
childbirth, the punishment meted out to Adam and Eve Genesis 3:16
for Samuel 4 verse 19 but If I talk to mothers and there's
mother's here and I know you're going to verify what I'm just
about to say the paean of childbirth young people as an
awful team. if you're in the Labour Ward, you'll hear the
cries of the woman and p.m. But here's a second second not
only is it awful, but I'm amazed at how quickly it passes.
And then amazingly after childbirth, which is got the
little baby in the bundle of joy.
In her arms, not leave her paeans easily forgotten.
Now, that's three facts. It's an awful pain, it quickly
passes, and it's easily forgotten and, isn't that how
human beings treat sin? You think of those tonight,
you're under conviction of sin, the brought face to face with
the consequences of send face-to-face with the curse of
sin and on there's an awful, guilt comes upon them and they
filled out in their heart. And yet the amazing thing is
that Pian that guilt that passes through quickly, it may be last
just for a few minutes, it may be last for a few hours and even
last for a few days. I'm a concerned Soul whose
Convicted of their sin remains are christless all because they
do not come unto repentance to Christ.
They do not exercise true Faith to Christ and not peeing.
That they feel in their heart, that that goes so quickly.
And they're prone to forget the awful agony.
And not only does it go so quickly and so easily forgotten.
Remember Farrell? Hi.
God used to ten plagues to bring him down.
If you turn over there to Exodus chapter name, we're not read
every reference, Exodus chapter name, It's in verse 27.
I'm Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron and said unto
them. I have sinned this time, the
Lord is righteous. I and my people are wicked and
treat the Lord. For it is enough that there be
no more Mighty thunderings, and he'll, and I will let you go.
And you shall stay no longer. Read in verse 33 and Moses went
out of the city from pharaoh and spread abroad.
His hands unto the Lord, and the Thunders, and the heel ceased.
And the reason was not poured upon the Earth.
They look at verse 34. I'm when Pharaoh saw that, the
radian and the heel and the Thunders were ceased, he send
yet born on hardened his heart, he underserved on the heart of
pharaoh, was hardened a there, would he let the children of
We'll go as the Lord had spoken, and if you read the story of
feral how he hardened his heart, he had this awful p and because
of the the plagues that come and he asked, Moses to entreat the
Lord for him and Moses. Did it tame after tame?
And yet, when he saw that the plague, whatever it was was
stayed and this occasion, it's the mighty thunderings and the
real in the heel and when he sought ceased, what does the
bible tell us? He hardened his heart and that
could be illustrated by many Souls.
You've come on their convection, convinced of their need of
Christ. Think about gettin saved, even
shed. A tear tell others, I would love
to be saved and that they Fierce that awful pale in their heart.
But I quickly passes and then is easily forgotten.
And have no more thought their desire to get.
Right with the Lord, the Pian of sin is abolish forever very
quickly. The piano of service is abolish
forever. I want you think of the Apostle
Paul tonight as a Christian from the day gets saved on the
Damascus Road? He labored for Christ for 30
years. You know, that the Bible gives
us a catalog of the things that Paul endured turned over there
to Second Corinthians. Look at chapter 11.
Look with me at verse 23. Second Corinthians 11:23.
He says this. Are they Ministers of Christ?
I speak as a fool. I am born and lieber's more
abundant in Stripes above measure and presence, more
frequent and death. Salt of the Jews five times
received. I forty Stripes see if one
Thrace was I beaten with rods? Once was I stoned Thrice, I
suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep
and Journeys often in Perils of water and Perils of robbers.
It's and perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the
Heathen, in perils in the city, in perils, in the wilderness in
perils in the sea in perils among false brethren.
In weariness, I'm painfulness in watchings often in hunger and
thirst in fastings, often in cold, and nakedness beside those
things that are recite that which cometh upon me dealing the
care of all the churches, we were singing there tonight, it
is not An easy Road were traveling to Heaven.
Paul could say yes to that. Why?
For many are the thorns in the way.
And yet through it all, even though he would acknowledge the
Christian life is not an easy road to heaven and home.
The beauty of it is that Jesus walks beside us.
That Jesus brightens the journey.
That Jesus, who cares for us? Who loves us?
He understands us. He noses laters, every heavy
Lord, there's no such thing as a Pian free, Christian Life.
There's no such thing as a pain-free life.
Those people that tell you, that At by the scream.
And take these pills and go and see that counselor, they're not
right there. Only after your money.
You better give it to the Lord and the Lord's work.
I'm telling you. Now, there's no such thing as a
Pian freely and there's no such thing as happy and free
christianly. You see, some people teach the
health and wealth, the Prosperity Gospel crowd.
They teach as a Christian, you never have a problem, you'll
never have a sorrow, you'll never have a tear, you'll never
have a Pian. It's not true.
It's not true description. It's not true to experience
God's people and European for, and for the sake of Christ,
turned over there. Jeremiah look with me at
Jeremiah chapter 4, and verse 19.
Listen to Jeremiah, he's known as the weeping prophet.
Jeremiah chapter 4 and verse 19. This is what he says, Jeremiah 4
verse 19. My balls, my balls, I am peeing
that my very heart. My heart maketh annoyed me.
I can't hold my peace because thou has heard, oh my soul, the
sound of the trumpet. The alarm of War.
If we were to read on In this passage, Jeremiah chapter 4, We
would discover, the weeping prophet has broken hearted.
Why? Because the road of God's,
chastisement is come to Jerusalem, Judah has been
overrun, the sound of the trumpet has heard.
The Babylonian Army is on the March, God's people have sinned
against the Lord that this honor Disney.
Mm. They they paid lip service to
him. They desecrated and deserted the
day of God. They have denied the law of God.
They haven't esteem God's word as agreed.
Treasure or more than their necessary food Danone scored by
their idolatry and by their iniquity.
And by their adult Reason by their fornication and every
other sentence imaginable, and the armies of battling her, at
the gate, and Jeremiah's brokenhearted, the people of
acted, as if they have no knowledge, And, you know, that's
United Kingdom, that we Livin at sinned against the Lord, the god
of Heaven. You know, our Westminster
Parliament has turned its back and gone and all that's good and
godly. You got to think of the steel of
the country. And are you broken for the state
of the country? Are you burdened?
What about the state of the church?
Are you peeing and Brokenhearted?
The state of the professing Christian church today.
You see were seeing and witnessing God's judgment on the
nation's. National natural disasters,
Financial woes and km have begun to start.
The weather patterns are changing, it's all a sane.
And if we were to think of the psalmist, remember he?
And Psalm 73 verse 16. He thought about the prosperity
of the wicked and he thought about how they were spreading
themselves, like a Green Bay, Tree and advancing and their
iniquity. He was peeing in his heart.
And yet when he came into the sanctuary then he understood the
end of the wicked and we've got the understand the end of the
Wicket. The ungodly will prosper.
The ungodly will advance and I'll bring P into her heart and
tears to her eyes when we see and hear what they're doing
against Christ and his cause But let's remember it'll be worth it
all. When we see Jesus, when we get
to Glory, you're going to experience peeing in the service
of Christ. Paul did Jeremiah did and if
you're true to Christ and his cause we've got to keep on
keeping on as we said this morning, thirdly think of the p
and of suffering is abolish forever.
Think of this sufferings that I have mentioned physical
suffering. What about the pain of
suffering? A terminal illness?
Cancer. No.
Medical procedure can remove it a person living daily with
unbearable to him. And you know what's hard for
them? But I want to tell you, it's
hard for their family and those that are caring for them to
watch. And you ought to that in
physical suffering. Emotional suffering.
Do you know that there's Christians today struggling with
an abusive father? Not a very loving individual.
Do you know that there's Christians today struggling with
a drunken father? Maybe even a drunken mother.
There's mothers and fathers struggling with a drunkard for a
daughter or son. What about struggling with a
drug addicted? Father are drug addicted mother
or a drug-addicted some or a drug-addicted daughter.
Kiki, that's emotional. You can't see that but that's a
real peel. What about struggling with the
paean of losing a loved one? And a dreadful accident.
I heard about the story of Five young people that were in a car
over United States of America. These two lovely young girls
were going to Bible College. I believe it was connected to
Pastor, John MacArthur's college and church over in California.
This is a number of years ago. These two young girls set off to
the airport to pick up. Two Italian boys to bring them
to John MacArthur's Church. They wanted to come there.
Pheasant America. Don't think the these two boys
were saved. Can you picture them?
And the car and they're driving? And some of those interstates
that makes the main Boggle and California because they're big
Wade roads on as they're driving.
Along out of a t-junction, comes a truck driver.
He doesn't see the car. It can't break and tame and he
smashes right into the car and kills those two girls in the
front. The two boys in the back, they
were spared because the front of the car, took the full force of
that accident. Can you imagine getting that
phone call to that home, telling Mommy and Dolly and Pastor
MacArthur rushing to their bad sight of those who are injured?
And those that are lost, loved ones TT.
The pain of losing a loved one is real.
What about the pain of having? Your feelings hurt.
What about the pain of being bullied at school?
You see, laughing with physical and mental and emotional scars
and Pian. Now, they have suffered some
sort of trauma and all this kind of Pian.
The Bible tells us the Pian of suffering will be abolished
forever. We know all this kind of Pian is
in the world today. We know, those kind of Pian is
real. That job said remember, in June,
Job 14 and verse 22. If I can turn up the reference
Job, 14 and verse 22 job said this.
But has flesh upon Him shall have Pian and his soul within
him shall mourn. There's many references to job,
having pain upon the bed, where every muscle and every bone and
every sinuate and there's nothing he could do to, he's not
peeing or alleviate that pier and isn't it?
Good to know that one day, they'll be no more pain.
You think of the accusations to job the emotional pain of those
false accusations by his three friends.
You you think of Jordan, not realizing an understanding how
Satan had got permission from God to attack him.
See it has not more powerful than God, see it and doesn't run
the show gods and control chords and chart.
But God allowed it. Why?
We don't know what I do now, you know, not he's our new
hereafter. And we know that all things work
together for good to them, that love God to them, who are the
called, according to his purpose, things happen that we
don't know why. But the pain of suffering is
abolish forever. What about the pain of Shadows
being abolished forever. The psalmist said, my heart is
sore p. And within me, the Terrors of
death or Fallen upon me. Chalmers, Craig, because of his
p and in Psalm 25 and 18 for God to forgive us our sin.
Have you good peeing in your main tonight?
Physical emotional mental. See it's more than back penis
more than to think it's more than a headache.
You can go to sleep with certain kinds of Pian and you wake up
with it. You can't see it but it's real
and is crushing you. You've got nothing but numbers.
You feel nothing, but Darkness. My heart is sore, pain with
them. You feeling nobody cares, nobody
understands nobody sees. And you know, when you feel like
that when The Pianist Shadows, come and those Terrors get hold
upon you. There's a tendency to forget
God, there's a tendency to forget your need of him, and
your dependents on them, attendant T to think of tame and
the slave not Ian. This is my lot.
You forget about eternity, Are you living with mental peeing?
Right now that you're so depressed that you're maybe even
contemplating ending life. Your so fed up with all that has
happened. And how many people suffer
mental Pian so much so that our heart is pained within them.
That they would choose death rather than life.
You suffering the loss of a wayward child, a rebellious
teenager, the loss of a child, the loss of a father, you're
broken hearted. Like I'm going to tell you
there's a better day coming. You keep on, looking to the Lord
keep on trusting because the Pian of shadows will be
abolished forever one. Final thing, the Pian of
sentence is abolished forever. If you turn over there to the
last few references in the Book of Revelation, look with me at
Revelation chapter 16, it says in verse 10 and the fifth, angel
poured out, his vial upon the seat of the Beast and his
kingdom was full of darkness and they gnawed, their tongues for
Pian. Look at verse 11.
Oh and blasphemed the god of Heaven, because of their pains
and their sores and repented not of their dates, could you get
the picture? This is going to happen at the
end of the world, just before the Lord, Jesus comes back and
power and Glory. This fifth angel poured out his
vial upon the seat of the beast. That's the Antichrist.
And his kingdom. And they know other tongues and
Tia. Cursing God.
Because of new repentance. Think of these words and
repented not of their dates? The peel of Santa's, you see,
there's two kinds of death, there's the first death and
there's the second death, Revelation 21 verse, it tells us
and I've read it deliberately again tonight.
But the fearful and unbelieving and the Abominable and murderers
and whoremongers and Sorcerers and idolaters and all liars
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death, you see, here's a
glorious truth. and Christ, the paean of the sentence of the
second death, as of bali's forever because you're with
Christ in heaven But this glorious truth is not for
everyone. It's only reserved for those are
penitent. Those who have exercised faith
in Christ. This is only reserved for those
in the holy city, the New Jerusalem.
There wasn't have washed their robes and made them white in the
blood of the lamb. But the unbelieving, The crash
rejector, those who have denied and denounced, gospel, late, and
gospel truth. They did not know what it is to
have this promise. Because they will be cast into
the Lake of Fire. They'll experience all the
paeans and sufferings and woes of the second death and the
Harvard for all eternity. The Bible tells us that in the
world to come the new Heaven and the new Earth.
And there shall be no more Pian Pian of Sinners, abolish
forever, the pain of service, the pain of suffering, the Pian
of the Shadows, but the pain of the sentence of death is abolish
fair, but it's only for those in Christ.
So I asked you tonight, are you see?
Ifft, are you among the parent? Are you among the believing?
But the fearful, the unbelieving is not amazing that the fearful
person who knows, he needs to be see if Dad wants to receive, but
the fear of Mom brings a snare. I'm doesn't come and repent and
receive Christ. And the unbelieving, I'm a good
person, but I don't believe in Jesus Christ, and not a
murderer. I'm not a liar and not an
adulterer, and a whoremonger and not an idolater.
And yet, they're all in together, the fearful and the
unbelieving lumped in with all the rest.
Why? Because they're independent.
And Jesus said they close with us.
If you die in your sins, he said it three times.
James Johnny at 2224 three times if you die in your sins, Where I
am. There you cannot be blessed are
the dead which die in the Lord. If you die in Christ, This
Promise will hold true. The paean of the sentence of the
second death will be abolished forever.
Never experienced it, never kissed it, but as your table 3
Crest your experience, the second death of all the piano
and suffering, inhale that comes with it.
May the Lord have mercy and give you wisdom as you've heard God's
word today.
