I believe I'm going to have to read just a little bit, so you bear with me if you will. Please pay attention to the Word of God and what God is speaking to us. Verse 11, chapter 19, verse 11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True. And in righteousness he doth judge and make war. By the way, God is a God of war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves together into the supper of the great God. You talk about a horrible sight. You listen now, verse 18, that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and of the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sat on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beasts and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. You may be seated. You pray for us, we've not been up to 100% physically this week and our voice is not... up to poverty, I know God's able to take care of that this morning. I know you've heard me read these verses of Scripture recently. If you've marked your Bibles, it's been recent since I've preached on these verses of Scripture, and I know that. But I want to say this morning, I could not get this off my heart. There's somebody here today I believe that needs what we all do. I'll just say that. We all do. Thank you, brother. As just by the way of introduction, amen, you know, I made a comment this week that our world is rocking and a reeling. Now when I say that, Brother Keith, I mean, we hear on the news this past week of all the, what's happening in the Middle East, what's happening in France, and it's still beyond me, and I don't care what you think, I don't care how you take this, it's between you and the Lord, but amen, our president needs the man up. Now, that's all I'll say into that, other than I don't care if you're Democrat or Republican, it don't make no difference to me. But I believe we need to call what we see, call it right. But I'm gonna tell you, this is just another sign of the coming of the Lord. Oh, and by the way, if you think the United States is exempt from what happened in France, you got another thought coming. Let me tell you something, friend, you better be on guard. You better beware. And let me tell you this, you better be, first of all, ready to meet God. I'm going to tell you something, friend. I've said it many, many times. Amen. Hey, this ain't a game. Jesus is coming. Amen. He's coming. And this is just another sign of His coming. Allah's dead. Buddha's dead. But thank God I serve a risen Savior. Amen. As you know, just by introduction, just a thought this morning. Amen. How many knows what VJ Day is? V-J Day, amen, is the day of August the 15th of 1945, amen, when Japan ceased fighting in World War II. Then if you'll go on, amen, up a month, September the 12th of that same year, Japan formally surrendered. And they call that day, amen, on August the 15th, 1945, they call that V-J Day, amen, the day, amen, that Japan surrendered. Does anybody know what V-E Day is? The E-Day, amen, is the day May 8th, amen, in 1945, marking the Allied victory there in Europe in the year 1945. You say, Preacher, what has all that to do with what you're going to preach this morning? Well, it means, amen, that there was one day, amen, and other great days where the wars ended and peace reigned. In other words, there was a day that there was victory. Hallelujah. Amen. And I'm going to tell you this, there's coming a day when the entire world will be at peace. This world that we know of today is not at peace. Amen, the Bible tells us how can we know the signs, amen. The Bible teaches that we can know them by, amen. By the way, if you're just a sign looker, then you're in trouble anyway, amen. I don't have to see a sign. Amen, all I gotta have is the word of God, amen. If you want a sign, amen, then you can look at where the Bible says where there'll be wars and rumors of wars. What's this world been in in the last 100 years? Wars and rumors of wars. You said, I thought Israel became a nation in 1948. It sure did. Amen. But you know what? They still ain't ceased fighting. Well, I hope I ain't losing your attention. But there's coming a day that the entire world will be at peace. A time when men shall beat their swords into plowshares. You'll find that in the book of Micah chapter 4 and verse number 3. I'm not going to take time to read that, but I want to just challenge you to mark that down. Micah chapter 4 and verse number 3. There's coming a day, amen, when there's going to be no more war. We oughta been able to shout on that. I don't know how much I'm gonna get through this. The voice, my voice the way it is, so you pray. I'm talking about in a time when the entire world will be at peace. Mankind's vocabulary. I told you just a few minutes ago, just a few seconds ago, our vocabulary, amen, hey, for the last years, I'm talking about years upon years, has been war, but one day that's gonna change. Can I get an amen right there? Hey, there's gonna be no more wives and no more mothers. Watch their sons go off to war and receive them, hey, amen, back dead in body bags. Can I get an amen there? There's gonna be a time, I might have to slow down, amen. There's gonna be a time of no more war. But there's coming events, amen, in the word of God. War will be liberated. When I say that, Jesus Christ will rule the entire world in peace. He'll rule it in prosperity. Won't that be a blessing? I want us to notice together some things, amen, that's going to come to pass. We'll take it probably verse by verse and you bear with me just a minute. In verse number 11 through 14, you see the arrival of the Son of God. We read in your hearing there, and by the way, here in verse number 11 through 14, this is the second time a door has been opened in heaven. Wasn't the first time a door was opened. The first time, amen, was in Revelation chapter 4 and verse number 1. John, amen, heard a voice say out of heaven, said, come up hither. Amen. This is the second time. And we see the appearance of Christ. How many really believe that Jesus is coming? Do you really believe that? I mean, you say, preacher, what's his nature going to be? The Bible tells us, in verse number 12, it says, well, let me get there. Excuse me just a minute, I've lost my place. He said, his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns, and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself. I tell you what His nature is. It's full of glory. What do you mean, preacher? Let me tell you something. The first time He came, He came. Amen? The Bible says He was, well, Isaiah 53 and around verse number 2, He came with those. He had no form. Amen? And no comeliness about Him. Amen? Can I get a witness right there? In other words, glory to God, they esteemed Him stricken, the Bible says. I mean, in Matthew 8 and 20, it says, Hey, he said the fox have holes, the birds have nests, but he said there's nowhere for the son of man to lay his head. What are you saying preacher? He's a coming back full of glory. He ain't a babe in Bethlehem's manger, but he's a coming, amen, in full glory. Hallelujah. Amen. He's going to be faithful and true, not like modern day politics. How many lies has your president told you in the last seven years? It ain't just your president, amen. I'm talking about politics in general. So amen right there. What are you saying? I'm not talking about he'll be faithful and true. Jesus, amen, will always tell the truth. Amen. He'll always do what he says. He'll always do what, hey, by the way, if the Bible says it, hey, you can count on it happening. He said he's coming, and he's coming. He's coming in full glory. I want you to know, hey, the Bible, the Bible teaches us, I made a mention a few minutes ago, if you wanna look at it in Exodus 15, verse number three, I'm not gonna read it, but the Bible says the Lord is a man of war. You think, amen, this world's gonna get by with what it's getting by with? Amen, let me tell you something, your justice system ain't justice system no more. Amen. Hey, let me tell you something, this world, amen, ain't going to get by with what's going on. Amen. And the sin and the rejection, amen, and the rebellion, it's going on in this world as we speak. Oh, these, amen, the, hey, you know what just burned, you know what just burned my heart? Amen. It was that one in France. Amen. He finally showed the picture of the cop that had already been hit. You seen it? And then they showed him up and he was about begging for his life. And it kills him anyway. Let me tell you something. That ain't in the name of nothing but the devil. The Lord is a man of war. Some of you ain't got that. I thought God was a loving God. He sure is. But there's coming a day. There's coming a day, Brother Keith. This world, amen, is going to be in some kind of uproar like you've never seen. You better make sure that make your calling and election sure this morning. Don't wait, amen, until the night. Hey, His name in verse number 12 it says, His eyes were a flame of fire and on His head were many crowns and He had a name written that no man knew. You got that? Let me tell you something. What do you mean by that? Men would not know Jesus except by just a byword. Some people don't know Him but just by a byword. Now, amen, they cannot know Him even if they desire to. Let me tell you something, friend. Hey, they can know Him if they want to, but listen, here He says, has He got a name that no man knows. You ever thought about that? Oh, and by the way, when he comes, and I said he's a man of war, he fights in righteousness. His cause is just. You know, there's wars being fought over foolish things. Minute things. But I want you to tell you, I want to tell you, amen, that he fights justly. He fights right. Let me tell you something, this world system don't fight wars right. You know why? There's too much money involved. Let me tell you something. In the Old Testament, when they'd go in and they'd have war, they didn't go back and build them again. Amen? We've got a problem in our society today. Amen, we're trying, amen, to keep our hands in everything. Let me tell you something. I believe as long as we stand on the Word and we stand for what's right, that's all that's going to matter when we get to the end of this life, all God's people said. Brother Keith, you got to do your brother-in-law's eulogy. I call it a eulogy, whatever you want to call it. Amen. I'm trying to tell them this morning, I've been where you're at. I've just tried to help you as a pastor to comfort you. The only comfort you're going to get is from what God will give you. That's the grace of God. Listen, try not to worry so much about it. I always tell myself that before I stand before a big crowd of people. If I can learn to take my own lessons, next time I get there, I'm going to say, remember what you told Keith Turner. Just remember what she told me after her. And I said it to try to help you, amen? But hey, well, I don't even know why I had to go into all of that. But I'm gonna say, listen, just don't compromise. Just get up and just say what the Lord to help you comfort your family, amen? But you know what we got in this world today? Too many compromising people. I was down here at the auction last night. I wasn't planning on going to the auction. I went down here to the auction. You say a preacher goes to an auction? Why can't I? If you can go, I can too. Glory to God. Went to the altar down here last night, me and my family went in. Came in the office, said, I knew it. Brother, I knew it for you, daddy. I knew it for the man, the owner, even done it. You know why? Because God tapped me on the shoulder. And I thought, and I think I seen your daddy. Whisper something to him Anyway, his daddy does that he does the auction in down there try to make a long story short didn't know I'm gonna do this But anyway, the Lord told me you're gonna have to pray in front of all these people Hey, I'm fighting for first of all, yeah, he's gonna stand up for men to hear you pray I And the owner got up. I'm talking about the owner of the auction house. And he don't know me. He's seen me a few times. He made a comment. He said, I don't know you. And he said, I don't want to put you on the spot. He said, but we got Brother Duncan here from a local church. And they said, what church? And he said, we want you to stand up tonight and lead us off in a word of prayer. You said, what'd you do? I stood up. And I thought, now, Lord, before he even said it, I thought, now, Lord, if I pray, It ain't for me. You just let me pray to you. You said, what did you pray? Well, I hope I prayed an appropriate prayer. But I asked God to bless the auction for him. I asked, boy, you said, well, preacher, what did you say to the people? Well, there ain't much you can say, because I know there's a lot of lost people there. How do you know that? Well, amen, I ain't no judge, but I'm not as naive to think that ain't somebody lost in this service this morning. And I just started blessing, I said, Lord bless us, the auction, you bless everything about it. God, I said, now there's some things in there I don't think the Lord blessed. But see, I can't help that. All I can say is, Lord, your hand upon me. You said, what kind of effect did you have on the owner? I have no idea. And first of all, it don't make no difference if I had an effect or not. But I began to ask God. I said, Lord, you touch every man of God that stands behind your pulpit tomorrow. I said, God help them to stay uncompromised. Amen. He said, why did you pray at an auction? Glory to God, why couldn't I? He gave me another opportunity. Glory to God, you know what I thought when I left last night? He gives me another opportunity, they might just get a whole lot more than what they bargained for. I don't mean that bad, amen, but glory to God, it'd be my opportunity to get the name of Jesus out there. All God's people say it. So use this stand. Amen. Let the Lord lead you. Oh, by the way, that's all you can do anyway. Why did I have to say that? I don't mean it. Glory to God. Listen to me. His name. I want you to notice the mystery in His name. Hey, I want you to notice the name of His ministry, of ministry. What do you mean in verse number 13? Look down at verse 13. He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood. and His name is called the Word of God. Amen. Let me stop right there and say this. Amen. His first and final ministry. Listen, the Bible says, amen, that His garments, His vesture, amen, was dipped in blood. What a day it's going to be, amen, when the sky rips asunder and the glorious King of kings and the Lord of lords, amen, rides forth in great and awesome victory. I want to tell you something. You talk about a sight to behold. That's going to be a sight to behold, friend. Verse number 16, the Bible says, and he hath on his vesture and on his thigh. You ever wonder why it was on his thigh? A name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Why was it on his thigh? I'll tell you why. The thigh symbolizes power. You hear what I'm saying? What do you mean preacher? I symbolize his power. You remember Jacob and the angel? You remember when the angel touched Jacob's thigh and his power to resist was broken? Genesis chapter 32. Jesus ain't no more the lowly Nazarene. He's not the brunt of cruel jokes and mockery. He assumes the titles that he possesses. And that's King. King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen. And his garment is a symbol of his position. You remember Joseph's coat of many colors? That was his symbol of what he was and who he was. That's the same way. Can I get a witness right there? Jesus is the ultimate ruler. Let me go on to same verse 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. The armies of Jesus. You know who that is? All the saints of God. That's where we're gonna become. You say, I'm not no horse rider. You better get ready. If you're a son of God, you're going to ride a horse. All God's people say it. I'm scared of horses. You won't be that day. I can't ride a horse. You will be able to that day. All God's people say it. It's all the saints of God. Jude, amen, verse 14 and 15. Let me read you that right quickly. Well, I had it marked, I thought. Yes, it says this. And Enoch, also the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints. Ten thousands. of His saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against them. Who is coming? Amen. The armies of Jesus, all the saints of God. And look at verse number 15. and out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it it should smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and the wrath of Almighty God. What are the armaments of Jesus? There ain't no carnal weapons. Hey, when I come back with Jesus, I ain't gonna have no bow. I'm not gonna have no shield. I'm not going to have no arrow, no car or weapons, but just His spoken word. Did you hear me? And it has the powers. Can I get an amen right there? How many believes His word's living? The Bible says it's sharper. Anybody can quote that? Than any two-edged sword. Divide and asunder. You remember, brother, Daniel Hensley, when he got up here, you remember that in Camp Maiden? One of our Camp Maidens, the one time he preached for us. Amen, glory to God, that's our sword. Let me tell you something, it's sharper than any two-edged sword. You know what it does? It cuts when it goes in. And it cuts when it comes back out. You made the comment you had to repent sometimes before you get up here to teach. Hey man, I gotta repent, amen, at times before I get up here and preach. Why? Because I get it before you do. Hey, by the way, if those swords don't never cut you, you ain't much of anybody this morning, amen? First of all, you need to get up on this altar, amen, that's God. Hey, to let you, how many say amen to that? There ain't gonna be no carnal weapons, just His spoken word. And His word is a living word. It has power to heal. It has power to give life. It has power to destroy. It has power to kill. It's His word! And that's all it's gonna have. That's all it's gonna have. Secondly, I want you to notice verses 17 and 18. The announcement of the supper of God. Here's how the Lord's gonna return. We're gonna come back with Him. Now, I want you to notice in verse 17, just follow with me a minute. And I saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried with a loud voice saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God. The fowls were called. Now first of all, you've got to get this scene, you've got to get this picture. If you're born again and you're saved, we've already been to glory. We're already coming back. We've all been in the presence of the Lord. We're coming back on white horses. Jesus is going to be a fight in this battle with those ten nations that's going to rise up against Israel. Amen. Daniel, I believe they called it ten horns, amen, but that's the ten kingdoms. I might get there in a minute, amen. But God's about to prepare a feast for the fowls of the air. He's getting ready to prepare a supper. Now you listen to me, and it's going to devour the flesh of his enemies. In verse number 18, the Bible says, that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. I heard a report, or I heard it on the news or something, don't know where I got my information, but they said Russia is already, they've been training They're military on horseback. You know why they're training their military on horseback? It's the fulfilling of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Did you know right now, amen, that if something was to happen to our satellites that's hanging up there in space, I'll say it, something was to happen to those satellites that's hanging up there in space. Did you know we'd be in trouble in the United States of America? Boy, what do you mean? Because those things that's up there controls, I don't know how many percent, but controls a very great percentage of the things that goes down here. This thing you hold in your hand, this access I got to that smartphone to the internet, is controlled by that thing up there. And if something happens to that, how's our military gonna fly? How's our jets gonna fly? Because if that's affected, it's going to affect the computerized things here on this earth. So these ten kingdoms are going to be marching toward Israel. And Matthew tells us to pray that your flight's not in the winter. Time to get into all of that. What are you getting at preacher? Here we are. Jesus fights the battle. We're with the Lord. He destroys these kingdoms. Listen. These ten kingdoms that are coming toward Israel. Oh by the way, Israel is still God's chosen people. They are still getting back to their homeland. Can I get a witness right there? And God will take care of Israel. Of course, by this time, the Antichrist will be set up in the temple. There'll be world peace. There'll only be, though, for about three and a half years, and then it's gonna break loose. All God's people say it. Amen, he's gonna think he's got it all under control. Jesus steps forth, amen, with his saints. He's gonna speak the word, the word. Amen, glory to God. I'm talking about the battle of Armageddon. Amen, the Bible says that the blood's gonna be to the horse's bridle. They'll be to their bridle. You talk about bloodshed. You ain't never seen a war. Blood to the bit of the bridle of the horse. Listen to me. The flesh, he calls the fowls of the air. In life, these people, in verse number 18, they lived in rank, by rank. They were separated by rank. But in death, they're all made equal. Amen. What a lesson. Death is a great leveler, is what death is. Amen. It puts you on the same aspect. Hey, the Bible says there's captains, there's kings. And guess what? The fowls of the air is going to pluck their bodies. Thirdly, would you cut the piano? I want you to notice what happens in verse number 19. And I saw the beast. Now listen to me, I'm talking about here's the files. The Bible says they were filled. If I ain't mistaken, I read it somewhere here. with their flesh. He said, and I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse and against the army. Now listen to me. And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet. that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone. These armies are drawn to Armageddon. All the armies of the world, many of whom are our enemies today, will join forces and try to defeat the line of the tribe of Judah. And it'll all be under the direction of the one that's sitting in the temple. Amen, I'm not talking about Jesus. I'm talking about the Antichrist. You listen to me. Their mission will be to put an end to God. Hey, look at our nation. Look at the world, how they're trying to put an end to God. The saints of God, they're trying to put an end to the saints of God, and even the mention of the name of God. But all their plans is going to fail. Verse 20 and 21, And the remnant of verse 21 was slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth, and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. The armies are destroyed, Armageddon. The Antichrist and the false prophet are thrown alive into the lake of fire. Can anybody shout it down? Hell is going to be waiting to open wide its mouth to receive these two pretenders. before all the eyes, and before everybody there, their leaders taken. I'm talking about that false prophet, and that antichrist is gonna be cast into a lake of fire, cast into hell, and what a shock the world's gonna stand back. And I think how the world's gonna see this will be by satellite. I bet, hey, every eye And then the deceived multitudes are gonna be destroyed, amen? I'm talking about those assembled armies of the world are defeated in just a moment by the word of God. Blood to the horse's bridle, flesh consumed by the fowls of the air. And the same word that will save the repentant sinner today will be that same word that's gonna cause slaughter in that day. I want us to stand to our feet, if you will, and every head bowed, every eye closed. I don't feel like I've done a sermon of justice. I've done what I felt like the Lord wanted me to do. I'd like for your head to be bowed, your every eye closed. You say, Preacher, how can I, how can I, Preacher, miss this event that you're talking about this morning? How can I? What can I do? Not to be. Now this event I'm talking about is us coming back as the saints. I'm talking about, listen, if you're here unsaved, you're not gonna come back with those tens of thousands, amen, being numbered with the saints. But you're gonna have to go through a tribulation period of time. I ain't got time to get into all of that. But let me say this, amen, there's coming a victory day. How can I, How could I have a victory day? How could I be a part of that day when we come back with the Lord? How could I miss the tribulation of the days? How could I miss that? All you've got to do is come repenting of your sins. The Bible says if we confess our sin, He's faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrisen. I need every head to be bowed just a minute. God knows why I needed to preach this. Somebody needed it this morning. How many would like to be a part of the day that we ride back with the Lord in victory? Thank the Lord. I want to be a part of that day. If you're here and you're not sure of your salvation, now's to make your calling and election sure. Maybe you're saved and you just want to come to this altar and say, God, be merciful to me, a sinner. God, help me to live right. Help me to live holy. This altar's open. Does anybody need to pray? Christian, I need you to pray. If you're here and you're doubting your salvation, there's a pretty good chance you're not where you need to be with God. If you're here and you've never accepted Christ as your Savior, there's something pulling and a drawing and a nudging at your heart this morning. And you feel that tug. You feel that pull. I'm going to tell you something, friend. That's the Holy Spirit. That's the Holy Ghost of God pulling at you. and He's trying to draw you. Come on, would you? And if you feel that, you're the most privileged individual in the world today. Come be a part of that victory today. What's it gonna take for you to serve the Lord? What's it going to take for you to live holy, live right, do right, sell out to God? Or are you going to stand at the great white throne of judgment, begging God for mercy, and there ain't going to be no mercy? Why won't there be no mercy, Preacher? He tells us in the precious Word of God that He called and you refused. You didn't behave. He called and you refused. Then He's going to laugh at your calamity. Hey, I wasn't saying it against myself. Christians pray. I wasn't saying it against myself. There's somebody feeling the nudge this morning. You know it's your day, you know it's your time, you know you need to serve the Lord, live for Him. Maybe yours, a Christian today, you've got lost family members. You want to see them be saved. Kneeling there in deep contrition, help my unbelief.
