We pray unto Thee that Thou wouldst hear us, with Thine omniscience and omnipresence. And we're sorry we can't broadcast our services tonight, because Pastor Dan is gone. We pray for Jill, who's left, and Albert is with thee. We thank Thee, Lord, that departing to be with Christ is far better. But we still miss him, and Jill misses him and his wife. And so God, in direct honor of her life, is before her. We pray for all these requests that have been made. Help the people that are in need and sickness, needing help, help them if they know the Lord Jesus as their Savior, to be strengthened and put their faith and trust and confidence in Him. Help us now as we open up Thy Word in this book of 1 Corinthians. In Jesus' name we ask it. Amen. Well, I read 1 Corinthians chapter 15, and we're sorry it's not going out, but that's what happens when sometimes don't go out. Pastor Dan's the expert in this, and we're not, so. All right, 1 Corinthians 15, and we're gonna be reading 54, 55, and 56. 54 of 1 Corinthians chapter 15. If you have it there, Linda, did you find where that is? Maybe my wife can help you there. 1 Corinthians 15, 54. Let's begin together. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying which is written, death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is awe. 54, 55, 56. We'll turn on our materials here. Good, so we can at least get a recording and we'll be on thing. All right, verse 54, 1 Corinthians 15, 54. Did you find it, Linda? No, it's okay. I'll just... Honeyvine, see if you can hurry it up for her. So you can find it in her Bible. 1 Corinthians 15, 54. That's right, that's right. Does she have the same one? Right there, 54, okay. All right, so on this corruptible, what corruptible are they working with? What are they speaking of? Yeah, Bill? Pardon me? And who's the people he's talking about here? Who are the corruptible people he's talking about? I don't know, but which type of humans? Who are they? Hands on that. It says, so when this corruptible shall put on incorruption. What is he talking about? Who are the people here, Bill? All of us. Everyone. All of us? Saved and lost? Yes. Are the unsaved ever going to put on incorruption? Well, the unsaved are not going to put on incorruption. OK. It says, when the corruptible shall put on incorruption. No. What's he talking about here? All right, it says in verse 53, it says, for this corruptible must put on incorruption, this mortal must put on incorruption. Yes, Jim? Yes, Jim? Hi, is there no Bible study today? Well, there's a Bible study, but we can't get it out because Pastor Dan is working with somebody who died, and he's helping the people, the parents. But tomorrow, or next, whenever we get to it, if you go to bibleslayer.org and go to the yellow box on bibleslayer.org, you'll get the three different buttons. Click the button on the right, which is a Thursday Bible study, and you'll be able to hear everything we did tonight, okay? Bibleslayer.org, the yellow box, and the third one over. Okay, sorry for that, Jim, bye-bye. Now, you see what it says in verse 53, this corruptible is going to put an end to corruption. Who's that talking about? The unsaved Christians? How can there be unsaved Christians at the same time? Who's that talking about? Is the unsaved ever going to put an end to corruption? That who is this referring to? genuine Christians who have what? Living? Yeah, that's what they do. What is the condition of these genuine Christians? Alright, genuine Christians who have died and they're corruptible, their bodies corrupt, the dust takes them away. When they put on incorruption, when is that going to take place? Any hands on that? No, when is it going to take place? Yeah, Bill. At the rapture, what is the rapture? How would you define that? Any hands on that? Yeah, Bill? That's the first phase of the return of Jesus Christ. And where does the Lord Jesus kind of come in the rapture? He's going to be in the clouds. Clouds in the air. He's going to call up the dead in Christ first. That's right. And we which are alive will be called up with Him. Caught up with Him. Wouldn't He be judged by the living? What is it? Wouldn't He be judged by the living or the dead? No, this refers here, Barbara, Linda, okay, get him in. When this corruptible, now these, in this context, you see, it says that the last trump, the trumpets shall sound, the dead shall be raised, in verse 52, incorruptible, the dead, only the genuine Christian dead, those that have never, born again, genuine Christian, not these people who mouth say I'm a Christian, but they're not. Those that are genuinely saved by trusting Christ as their Savior and Redeemer. It says, they shall, the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Who's the we referred to in verse 52? Any answer to that? The living Christians? Yes. The ones that are living now? Genuine Christians. We genuinely, genuinely say, not just people say they're Christians, whether Catholic or Presbyterian or Baptist, name the name. for those genuine Christians that are genuinely saved, born again Christians, to be changed. And then verse 53, for this, corruptible must put on incorruptible. Who's referred to in this word corruptible in this case? Any hands on that? Bill? Bill, just raise your hand if you want, yeah, Bill? Yeah, but what corruptible is referred to in this context? Non-believers? No. Born-again Christians. Where are the born-again Christians that's corruptible? Where are these Christians? These are genuine Christians that trust in Christ their Savior. Where are they? Yeah, Bill. They're alive in the world. How can they be corruptible if they're alive? So what is the condition of these people that are corruptible? So where are they? And what happened to them? These are genuine Christians. What has happened to them? Where are these corruptible people? Well, but if they're on earth, are they corruptible? What happens? How do you get to be corruptible? The corruptible, in that sense, must mean that they are dead and in the grave. What kind of people are the corruptible? Who are dead and in the grave and corruption, dust to dust. They're genuine Christians. Those who are born, those who are unsaved. These are unsaved? Yeah. But it says in verse number 52, the dead shall be raised incorruptible. What dead is he talking about? Saved or lost. The Christians that are in the grave, we already answered that. All right, but I'm asking the same question. In verse 53, for this corruptible, are they saved or lost? In verse 53, it says the dead should be raised incorruptible. So if they're saved in verse 52, why do they get lost in 53? So what should this be referring to? All right, where are they? They're in the grave and their bodies are corrupted. But they're not unsaved, they're not non-Christians. These are genuinely saved, genuine Christians, not phony Christians who say they're Christians and they're not, not believing their head. They believe they're sinners. Lord Jesus died for their sins and they've accepted and trusted. Let's say John 3.16 together. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. Believe it, not just with the head, but with the heart, and be genuinely saved. Now when genuinely saved Christians die, their bodies do what? Decay? Decay and corrupt. And it's talking about this corruptible, that is those that are corruptible, genuine Christians, not talking about believers now, not believers, lost people, When this Christ must put on incorruption, when does that take place? Any hands on that? When this corruption, those that are genuine Christians in the grave, or the time of the rapture, and the rapture is what again? Any hands on that? When the Lord Jesus Christ comes and calls those that are genuine Christians that are corruptible Only the genuine Christians in the grave will be transformed into what, in verse 53? Into incorruptible. What does incorruptible mean? They're saved? No, well they're saved already, but they're talking about the bodies. The body will no longer decay. No longer decay. What is it called here in verse 53? What is it called? No, that's next, but what is after that? Corruptness put on what? Incorruption. So they're going to get bodies. Genuine Christians are going to get new bodies like unto Christ's body. Like unto Christ's body. That's called incorruption. Never will they corrupt anymore. And then the last part of verse 53, and this mortal. What does mortal mean? Who is that referring to? Humans. But what kind of humans in this context? The genuine Christians that have trusted Christ as their Savior, properly with the heart, not just simply the head. This mortal, what does mortal mean? Any hands on that? What does mortal mean? Able to die. Subject to death, able to die. That's right, we are mortals right now. Not just all mortals, all people are mortals. Whether saved or lost, whether bound to hell or going to heaven. But genuine Christians talking about here in this context, this mortal, those subject to death now, what must they put on in verse? And what does that mean? Their body no longer, they'll have new bodies which will never, never die. Very important. And when will that take place? No, when will that take place? According to scripture. Any hands on that? Not until then? It won't take place until then? Alright, so, alright. The time when the Lord Jesus returns in the air to take away all those genuine Christians, not the phony Christians, say they're Christians but they never trust Christ genuinely. Born again judgmental Christians. who are living now, subject to death, their bodies will instantly be changed. Just genuine Christians. When they're once changed, what are they called then? In this verse 53. What are they called once their bodies are changed? At the rapture, the Lord Jesus returns to them. Yes, what will that body be called? They'll be immortal. Their bodies will be changed and be immortal. What does immortal mean? Any hands on that? What does immortal mean? Unable to die. Live forever. Unable to die. No more mortality. The new resurrected bodies of genuine Christians. How about the unsaved? What will the bodies of the unsaved people be like and what is their destiny? Hands on that? Their destiny is hell. Their destiny is hell. They'll have bodies that won't be like the genuine Christian bodies. Won't be glorified like us. Won't be glorified. But they'll be unable to die, and where will their bodies, those resurrected bodies, be sent? Heaven? Those unbelieving, non-Christian people? They'll be sent to hell. They'll be sent to hell, the lake of fire. How long does the lake of fire last? Forever. It lasts forever. It's everlasting death in the lake of fire. And so this is very serious. In verse 53, this mortal, those that are, rather, this corruptible, the corruptible bodies, he's talking about believers, genuine Christians, must put on incorruption. When the Lord Jesus returns, those in the dead will be raised first. Want to get that, Bill? Those will be raised first, then those who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. And these mortals must put on immortality, corruptible besides corruption. And then the mortal, those that are now living at the rapture of the church, must put on immortality. Hello? Nothing can be out because you didn't turn on those things, Dan. Nothing can be out? What do you mean, what things? Nobody can hear anything because the servant audio is not on, nor is Facebook, or whatever these other things. Facebook's not on, nothing's on. What about Bible for Today? Bible for Today? I don't know whether Bible for Today gets on or not. I thought we tested Bible for Today. Well maybe, I'll have to tell them, but they can't, they don't know about that. Have you ever used Bible for Today.org? No. So I don't know whether that's on or not, see? What is it? Yes. Yes. Tuesday at 11 o'clock, the funeral will be at Visitation 10. We're also doing a presentation on Monday evening from 6.30 to 6.30. 6.30. Monday night, huh? Yes. And is it a regular day? What time of the... Funeral is going to be on Tuesday. Presentation at 10 and funeral at 11, is that it? Yes, that's correct. BibleForToday.org. BibleForToday.org. Bill? Go upstairs and verify that in the upstairs. Is anybody still on there, or no? Pardon me? Anybody still on the phone? No. OK, it'll be BibleForToday.org. That's where it's streaming. If anybody calls in. BibleForToday.org, that's the main web page. Yes, well, nobody knows where that is. If anybody's listening or not, you can ask them. Just to test it out. Anybody listening on BibleForToday.org? I had Justine look at that one. OK. Please pray for Jill Severance. Yes, we've asked them to pray. The family there, this tragic death that took place this morning at 6-07. Alright, thank you. Bye-bye. Yeah, that was Joy Wallnaufer that was on the phone. And she can't get anything? Yeah, she can't get anything. BibleForTheDay.org. Pastor Dan says we'll work and see if I can call her. See if I can get this call. Call Joy Wallnaufer. We'll be right there in just a minute. It sure is, it's confusing very much so. She's not answering. She's not answering. Okay, let's go back then to our verses. I want to be very clear, verse 53, corruptible, those genuine Christians, not half-hearted, phony Christians, but genuine Christians trusted the Lord Jesus as their Savior in their heart, not just with their head, with their mouth. They're dead. And those dead ones, corruptible bodies that are back to dust, must put on incorruption. That will happen when the Lord Jesus returns in the first phase of His coming. We'll meet the Lord in the air, snatch up those people, their dead bodies that are corrupted in their grave, they'll be changed to incorruption, and they'll be snatched up with Him. And then it says, the mortal, those of us who are genuine Christians today in our bodies, subject to death, when He returns again in the rapture, It snatched some people away, but put on immortality with new bodies, glorified bodies like unto Christ, and they'll be there for eternity up in heaven, up in heaven, and that's the time that it'll happen. And then in verse number 54, which we started tonight, when this corruptible, who's the corruptible referred to? Put your hands on that. Verse 54, Vaughn. When this corruptible, what is it? Corruptible, unsaved? Also unsafe for a corruptible, in this context. Did you find out Bible for today? Even biblefortoday.org, huh? Okay, thank you. All right, Pastor Dan just didn't do it before he left and he's tied up. In verse 54, when this corruptible shall put on incorruptible, who are the corruptible people referred to here? Answer that. We'll put on incorruption. Are the NSA going to put on incorruption anytime soon? No. Will they ever? Incorruption is good, isn't it? No. Well, incorruption is good. Corruption is bad. Yes, I mean, corruption would be non-safe. Not in this context. Not in this context. Let's read verse 53 again. For this corruptible, you see, And who is the corruptible here referred to? You see, in verse 52, when you were gone, that the last trump, the dead shall be raised incorruptible. What dead are referred to there? Saved or lost. Genuine Christians only, not these unbelieving phony Christians or Hindus, or Buddhists, or Shintoists, or any of the others, or Jews that are not Christians, genuine Christians, the trumpets will sound. That's the first phase of the Lord's return, the rapture. And the dead, those that are genuine Christians, dead, shall be raised, how? Incorrect. What does that mean? Never will die. Never will die. New bodies, completely. They never died, in no longer corruption, see? And then verse 53, for because this corruptible, who are they again? Who's a corruptible? Born-again Christians that are in the grave. Born-again genuine Christians that are in the grave, they're called corruptible, must do what in verse 53? What does that mean? What does that mean? This corruptible must put on incorruption. Who's it talking about? Genuine, genuine Christians were in the grave. Must put on incorruption. Nobody... That's right, not just nominal Christians. Yeah, Bob? If they're dead, they're corruptible. Oh yes, corruptible means dead. That's right. This is dead people, completely dead. The ones that have died who are corruptible, incorruptible, their bodies turned to dust. Genuine Christians must be changed into what? Incorruption. And that means what? Sick. Born again. No longer will their bodies be any longer subject to decay and death. And when does that happen again? At the time of the rapture. And what is the rapture? What's going to be at the rapture? Define that. Anybody recall that? What does the rapture mean? What's going to happen at the Rapture? The Lord will call those that are born again Christians, both dead and alive. And this corruptible, when will it take place? When the corruptible, those that are genuine Christians that have died in the Lord and their bodies are corrupted, when will that incorruptible take place? At the Rapture. What is the Rapture? And what will happen at the Rapture? Where will he come back? Where? From the sky. Catch him up to the sky. And those genuine Christians who have died before, like one that just died this morning at 6.02. 6.07. 6.07. Okay, 6.07. Albert, Dan just called us. Albert, who's now corrupted, and he's going to be buried on Tuesday. And when that corrupted by his genuine Christian, he loves the Lord Jesus, he accepts him as his savior, genuinely, not phony. When the rapture takes place, when is that going to take place? What does rapture mean again? Snatching away. Who's going to snatch away? What is he going to snatch away? Christ is going to snatch away his church. Okay, the Lord Jesus Christ is going to snatch away his morning of Christians. and there are going to be two different places when he snatches them away, when he comes in the air to snatch them away and change them. What two places are these genuine Christians when he comes? Some are in the grave, dead as a doornail, corrupted. That's right, some are alive today which are mortal, subject to death. And when he comes in the air, what's he going to do with those dead genuine Christians? Corrupted genuine Christians, what are you going to do with them? What are you going to do with them? No, not the dead Christians. Resurrect them. Resurrect them, then I'm going to call it incorruption. Then we which are alive are mortal. What's going to happen to these mortals as they're living right today? Genocide. You're going to call it immortality. So who's going to rise, who's going to go up to meet Him in the air first? Corruption or mortal? The dead in Christ shall rise. The dead in Christ are going to rise first. The corruptions are going to go first. Those dead genuine Christians are going to rise first. It says, we who are alive, those mortal bodies that are genuine Christians are going to be alive. And both classes of genuine Christians, those who have died, those who are living, shall meet the Lord in the air at the same time. So corruptible and the dead as Christians, and corruptions when the Lord Jesus returns, those who are still living, Subject to death, we don't even die. We'll be instantly changed from mortal subject to immortal with new bodies in both these groups, dead genuine Christians, live genuine Christians, who will rise and meet the Lord in the earth. Both will be changed for eternity. Yeah, Bill? Albert's going to rise. He'll rise first. Yes. That's right. Vaughn? One thing I missed, Dan called and didn't get to talk. Can you tell me what I missed? Well, he just missed when Albert died in 607, was it? And the service will be on Tuesday. Viewing 10 o'clock serves at 11. This is Thursday. It's going to be next week. Joy, let's see. Go ahead, Joy. Let me see. I missed the call. How do I get it back to her? Let me see. Call Joy Walnoffer. Hi, Joy. Yes. Can you turn to biblefortoday.org? Is it going on that? Pastor Dan said it should be going on that one. Okay, hold on one second. It was just a picture with nobody on it. Let me refresh it. One second. I don't know. Pastor Dan, he's our master internet person. Without him, We're done. Okay. Pastor Dan said it would work, but apparently it's not working. You try again. It's just a blank screen of the pulpit with nobody on it. On my Eaton Bible for today, right there. Dot org. We tried YouTube and everyone, none of them. Pastor Dan didn't hook up those sermon audio or anything before he left, and he's got him working with these dead situations. funeral services. But Joy, remember, when we get these up, when Dan has a chance to put these up on the internet, go to biblestate.org, go to the yellow box, and the first thing you see is AM, then PM, then the third one is Thursday's class. And you click on that, you can hear the whole thing, what we discussed this afternoon, okay? Yeah, Bill? And the funeral's gonna be on Tuesday of Albert, That's severance. Thank you, Joy. See, he's got to push all those buttons, and I don't know how to push the buttons. I know how to push the button, my nose, my ears, but not those computers. Software. So I want to be sure that in this small discussion, very important discussion, that we understand what verses 53, 54, and 55 mean. Let me ask again, as I've had several times already, in this context, is it talking about lost, hell-bound Christians? Or not Christians, but unsaved, unbelieving, Or is it talking about genuine Christians who have been born again, genuinely saved, trusting Christ? Which group is it talking about? Only born again Christians. Only born again, genuine. Some are in the grave, some are alive on earth. Genuine Christians. Now in verse 52, which ones are in the grave? What are they called? Dead. No. What's the word in verse 52? They're not called dead. What's it called? In verse 52, you mean verse? 52. Well, there's 52. Well, also, well, 52, what is it called? Well, it's not, before, what was the dead, what are they called when they're raised, before or after they're raised? Incorruptible, okay. Now in verse 53, I will go ahead, John, that's good. What are the dead called in verse 53? Corruption. And who are these dead? Savior lost, genuine Christians or unbelievers lost, bound for hell? Who's it referred to here in the context? Corruptible. Genuine Christians in the grave are dead, Yvonne. So the Christians weren't uncorruptible. If they're dead, they are, yes. They're talking about their bodies. Their bodies. Not their souls. No, not souls, their bodies. Bill? Yeah, you're talking about before the resurrection. Yes, that's right. When they're in the grave, their bodies go to dust. That's where we go when we die. That's right. That's where Albert is right now. Not in the grave yet, but he will go there. And he's called corruptible. These are only genuine Christians. I talked about the others. Now it's true all the people are lost and bound for hell and non-genuine Christians, their bodies are gonna corrupt too, but in this context, these corruptible are called genuine Christians who have died and are buried or in the graves. And what is this in verse 53? Incorruption, who does that refer to in verse 53? Who does incorruption refer to? Non-believers? No. This is the context here. Okay. Okay. Corruption. These are genuine Christians. Not phonies. Genuine Christians. Where do you get this incorruption? When the corrupt, those genuine Christians have died and gone to dust, when the Lord Jesus returns, they'll be changed into what? Changed into what? What? Into what? Incorruptible. Incorruption. That's right. Corruptible. Will those bodies that are changed from the grave, corruptible, to incorruption, will those incorruptible bodies ever be changed again back to corruptible? Never. They will be genuinely transformed to maybe just like Christ's resurrection body. Transformed. And then in verse 53, there's another group of people. And this mortal, what does that mean, who do they refer to? The mortals are alive. Okay, what kind of mortals are they? Humans. All humans? No. Genuine Christians have trusted the Lord Jesus as their Savior from their heart, not simply their head. Genuine Christians are called mortal, this particular one. Now everybody's even lost and bound for hell, everyone in the world is mortal. But this context, it's talking about genuine Christians who are still in this life, subject to death. What's gonna happen to them? What will they put on? In verse 53. Immortality. And what does immortality mean? Unable to die. So genuine Christians who are subject to death in these bodies we have, genuine Christians, will put on sometime, not now, but sometime, immortality, bodies that will never, never, never die. When will that take place? When will that take place? What is it? When Jesus comes back. When Jesus comes back, where is he going to come back? place will he return? Not earth. Now at the second phase of his coming, he'll come to earth. But in this first phase, the rapture, he'll only come in the clouds. And those corruptions, Christians are generally corrupted, they'll be snatched away, they'll be instantly changed to incorruptible bodies and be snatched up unto the Lord. And those who are genuine Christians, mortal, will be instantly changed to immortality and their bodies will be also snatched up by the Lord Jesus Christ when he comes in the clouds of heaven. That's called the rapture. Now the second phase of his coming. That's right. That's right. That's right. Hello? Hello? Well, Joy Walnoffer, Joy Walnoffer went to BibleFray.org dead. All they see is the pulpit, Dan. They see nothing of sound, nothing of me, just the pulpit, only the pulpit. So that's dead too. What did you see when you were up in your office? Just the pulpit, because I was in the pulpit then. Just sat in the pulpit with the light and that's it. May I talk to him? Yeah. Why don't you turn off the video? Let John talk to you. John Watkins is here. Yes, go ahead. Linda. All right. Now, here's this. It's too late. What is on off? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you'll have to show me how the software works. Okay. At least I'll know. Bring the phone back. We'll go from there. So Dan, you're the only one who knows, and it's not working. Bye-bye. Now the question that Linda had. Repeat it, please, Linda. Okay, now. Okay, let me ask the question here now. After the rapture, when the Lord Jesus snatches up the corruptible genuine Christians, not these unbelievers people. And then the corruption that is dead and dust will change to incorruption. And those that are alive and remain, still living, will be changed to immortality. That will be taking a snatch away of those people in the clouds of heaven. The dead in Christ who are buried will go up there. The genuine Christians here will go up there. After the rapture, what takes place? Any hands on that? Tribulation period. All right, that's a tribulation period. How long will that last? Seven years. Seven years. And what will happen in the tribulation period? It goes around the world? No. Wars? There will be wars? Wars and wars. The Antichrist will rule and reign. Right. I don't know whether that's going to be Obama or some other Antichrist, but some will reign. The first three and a half years of that tribulation, what will it be like versus the last three and a half years? False peace. This guy will think he's the greatest guy that ever was born. He's a liar, he's a falsifier, this Antichrist, and he looks like peace. The last Strenandius, what's going to take place then? The wrath of God. The wrath of God, and it'd be horrible. This guy will turn and just kill people, kill, kill, kill. So that's the seventh year tribulation. Then after that time, what's going to happen then? We have the Battle of Armageddon at the end. At the end of the Battle of Armageddon. That's the second phase of his coming. And where will he come then? On the Mount of Olives. That's in Jerusalem. That's the question that Linda asked. Where will he come? The Mount of Olives. What will happen to the Mount of Olives at that time? North and South or East and West? East and West. No, north and south. Because it's going to be the river, the Mediterranean River, will flow all the way across. See, it's going to be dividing, and the desert will blossom as the rose. There'll be fruit and so on, because that whole thing will be changed. East and west, Zechariah 14.4, and his feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem, on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west. Well, I guess that's what it says. Half the mountains we moved to the north, half to the south. See, because you have to have this big river go east to west, right straight through. From the Redditor and right through. Yeah, Linda? I forgot what I was going to ask. Yes. Is that towards the end of the world? Is that coming with what we're talking about tonight? Alright, when will Armageddon take place? You mentioned it, John. At the end of the tribulation period. At the end of the seven years of tribulation, when the Antichrist reigns for seven years, it'll be so evil, so wicked, the whole group of people will rise up and fight against all of Jerusalem and wars and murmurs of wars. And the battle will be put down by whom? After that, there will be a thousand years of peace called what? A millennium. A thousand years of peace. But the Lord Jesus has to come back because these battles, these killings going on by the Antichrist, they say murder this, murder that. They gather around Jerusalem, put all these Jews and everybody to death. And the Lord will come back and smash them all, kill them all, and justify everything and do righteously to murder them, kill them off. Yes, Linda. The Antichrist? The Antichrist. Is he here now? He may be here now. He may be. We're not knowing. We don't know. With ISIS, Egypt and Israel always had beginning of time. Right. And now with other countries, Turkey and all these other countries. Yeah, all different ones. I mean, they're all at war with each other. That's right. Now, there's anti-Christian spirit even in the Bible mentions those people that deny the Lord Jesus Christ is perfect God, they're anti-Christ. In other words, they're against the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, the spirit of the whole time, that's right. But then the man called anti-Christ. Now, anti in the Greek means two things. What are the two things that anti means for anti-Christ? Two things. What is it? instead of Christ. And what's the other meaning? Opposed. So in place of Christ. In other words, a phony. Ante means instead of, in place of, false Christ. And then ante means really against. He pretends to be just instead of and trying to be like Christ. Ante in that sense. But he's really ante against the Lord Jesus Christ in the real sense. So he's a phony and a phony and a phony. And he may be here now. We don't know. When does the rapture take place? The Lord Jesus snatches away his own. Corruption, dead Christians put on incorruption. Mortal Christians put on immortality. When will that take place? We don't have any clue. Is any prophecy have to be fulfilled before it takes place? No. Could happen tonight. Could happen tonight. Well, we're talking about the snatching away the rapture of the Lord Jesus, the first phase of his coming, where he catches those Christians off into the air. That's the rapture, see. And things are happening very seriously in the earth, but the tribulation hasn't started until the genuine Christians are snatched away. When you don't see any genuine Christians in our church here, the genuine Christians, when they're gone, then you know the tribulation started. And those that are not genuine Christians will be still right here. They won't see them because they were caught up instantly. They'll say, oh, where did they all go? I haven't seen them for several weeks. Where did these people go? They don't know what happened to them. The Lord Jesus snatched them away. Gone. And all these unbelievers will be right here on earth. And will there be any genuine Christians that will not be caught up by the Lord Jesus Christ? Born-again ones. Every genuine born-again Christian. What about those that we call carnal genuine Christians who are walking after the flesh? Will they be left behind? No, they will go up to. See, carnal and spiritual, no matter what. See, a lot of people, that's called a partial rapture. If some are left here and some are taken. A lot of people believe that, partial rapture. But if they're genuinely saved, genuinely born again, genuine Christians, they'll be snatched away, no matter how they live, live after the flesh or whatever. So we're born again, we'll be taken up. That's right. And some people believe that the genuine Christian will go through half the tribulation, the first three and a half years. Is that true? No. And some people believe the genuine Christian will go through the entire seven years of tribulation. Is that true? When will every genuine Christian be taken out of this world and be called to be with the Lord? Before, during, or after the tribulation? Before the tribulation, any part of it. Some believe that as a place of, some other place in that tribulation of God. But these are false views. So this is very important. The corruption, verse 54, corruptible, put in corruption at the rapture, mortal, put in immortality. Then in verse 54, when this corruptible shall be put on incorruption, and when does that take place? Seven years? No, when this takes place. When will that take place? Rapture, and what is that referring to, this corruptible? What kind of people? Dead, those are genuine Christians, born-again Christians, born in incorruption. And this mortal, who's that referred to? In this context, who's the mortal referred to? Currently living, genuine Christians. Now everybody's mortal, subject to death, but this particular class, in this context, refers only to those who are genuine, born again, saved, Christian, trust in Christ is saved. When this memorial is put on immortality, and that's going to happen when again? When the Lord returns where? In the air or to this earth? In the air. After He returns in the air in the rapture, what's going to take place after that? After the rapture, He takes these dead Christians and live Christians with Him in the air. What's going to happen after that? No. What's going to happen after that? Bill? And after that? But after it takes us home, what's going to happen after we go? How long? Seven years of tribulation. Who's going to rule and reign at that time? Antichrist. What will happen during the first three and a half years of the tribulation? And at the last half of the Tribulation, the Antichrist will go wild, killing everybody he can kill. Then the Antichrist will go to Jerusalem and all the people there and try to have war. That's called the Battle of Armageddon in the Valley of Megiddo. It's a place in Jerusalem, the Valley of Megiddo. We've got harmonism as a hill of Megiddo. They're going to fight and fight. A real war, a solid war. Who's going to stop that war? The Lord Jesus Christ. He'll come back in the air at that time. Where will he come back at that time? Right to earth, right in Jerusalem. Mount of Olives. He'll come back and that Mount of Olives will split. north and south, and east and west the rivers will flow. The opening will be east and west, but the area will split north and south. That's what that verse said in Zechariah. And so the waters come in and the desert will blossom as the rose, as it says in the book of Isaiah. And then there will be the millennial reign of Christ after it comes back. How long will the millennial reign of Christ last? 1,000 years. What will happen then? What will happen during that 1,000 years? During or after? During. During? Yeah. What kind of rain would we have? A lot of perfect, no water, no anything. All peaceful. Peace. Yeah, peace. Madeline, did you have something? Would we be baptized again if Jesus comes back? Who's the we? Wait, all of us. Well, all of us. Lost people will not be anything but Well, the death of a distressed Christian, but genuine Christians, saved Christians, born-again Christians, biblical Christians, that follow John 3.16. Let's say it again. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Now, what kind of belief is this? Just a thought, the mind, phony belief? What kind of belief must it be? What can you believe? Heartfelt, genuine faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. A lot of people say, oh, I believe, I believe. They don't believe any more than a snake. It's got to be genuine. He said he lived, or he was a good prophet. Exactly. But this is believing the heart shall not perish. What does that mean? Shall not perish. Never die? No. Shall not perish. What's the perishing part? Live forever. No, perishing. What does that mean? Either believe in Him, or shall not perish. What does perish mean? Well, yes, but what else? What is it, perishing, that a lot of people don't even believe exists? Shall not perish. Where will those that do not trust genuinely in the Lord Jesus Christ, do not believe in Him, where will they go? Yeah, Bill? They will end up in the lake of fire. Lake of fire and hell, that's the perishing. Trust in Christ genuinely is the only way to escape the eternal fires of hell, the lake of fire. Shall not perish, but have what? Everlasting life. Genuine faith equals everlasting life. When does that everlasting life begin to those that genuinely trust the Lord Jesus Christ? Yeah, Bill? When you die. When you die? No. As soon as they accept genuinely the Lord Jesus Christ, they have right now, when that happens, everlasting life. Not tell them when they die, but right now they have it. And when they die, they go to heaven, but when they have everlasting life, they have it right the instant they trust, genuinely trust, the Lord Jesus as their Savior. Well, those are several verses, interesting verses, got off on different things, but we covered them pretty well. May the Lord bless us, we'll stop right here. Do you have any other questions before we close tonight? We've been shut up to the outside audience, nobody ever heard about us, but we're gonna tape this, we have it already taped now, and when Pastor Dan gets back, he's gonna put it up on the internet, and people, click on biblefortoday.org, Go down to, not the brown box, but the yellow box. Click on that. The AM service is first this past week. The PM afternoon Sunday service is next. And this Thursday service here will be the third one, or one, two, three. Click on that. You'll be able to hear everything we talked about, even though it didn't go out live. Any other questions you might have? If not, let's close in a word of prayer. We thank the Heavenly Father for these clear verses. On genuine Christians in the graves, like our friend Albert, corruption takes place. It turns to dust. When the Lord Jesus returns in the air, the corruption and death of genuine Christians will put on incorruption. Those of us who are still living, the mortal, subject to death, genuine Christians, put on instantly immortality, immortal bodies, like unto His, and we will be changed and caught up to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. We thank Thee for these truths. We thank Thee for John 3.16, what it really means. He loved us, so loved, that He gave His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, from heaven to come down here and then to die on the cross for our sins, that we by genuine faith and trust in him with our hearts, not just the heads, will never perish, never go to hell, never go to the lake of fire, but have right now, as soon as we trust him, everlasting life. And we thank thee for this. Help us, Lord, in all the understanding of our verses of scripture. In Jesus' name we ask this.
