 Okay, welcome back everybody to our second session here on the End Times BC213. I see a question in the chat from Nina. What's 9 of chapter 24 talking? Is it talking about believers? Who will be delivered and killed? Many offended between one another. So what's 9? And then they will deliver you up to tribulation, kill you, be hit by all nations for my name's sake. And then many will be offendable bitter one another and hate one another. Okay, so the interesting thing I want to want to point out is this. In verse 9 and 10, he's talking about all nations hating people in the name of Jesus. Then in this passage in between 15 to 31, he's talking very specifically about Judea, Jerusalem and the elect. So there's a change in subject. Okay, in verse 9 and 10, he's talking about all believers around the world, believers, Gentile believers, Jews, everyone. But in this passage 15 to 31, he's very specifically talking about Judea. I mean, so you will find as we, even when you go through the book of Revelation and based on Daniel's prophecy, the 70th week is very specifically about Jerusalem and the people of Israel. So the tribulation, many the seven years of tribulation, especially the second half, which is referred to as a great tribulation. The seven years of tribulation is, which is Daniel's 73 is very specifically, the focus is specifically on the Jews in Israel. Of course, things will be happening all over the world. Judgments will be being poured out all over the world. But the prophecies that have been given to us are very specific. Most of them, not saying all of them, but most are very specific to the people, the Jewish people. So, you know, to answer your question, verses 9 and 10 are referring to believers all over the world. And when we get into between 15 and 31, you will find that he's talking about those who are in Judea, verse 16. Those are on the house top, you know, don't come down. That's very specific to those who are in Jerusalem in Israel at that time. And because we will see in Revelation 12 that Satan goes out with great vengeance against Israel. Revelation chapter 12 on the focus attack, Israel will face intense attack at that time. Now those who believe in Jesus at that time in Jerusalem, they'll be great suffering. And we see that in Revelation 12 and 13 on. Okay. Have a question, Prince? Yes, Pastor. Adding on to this, like in verse 9, like we know that this is before tribulation, right? This is before the 7, like from verse 1 to 9, but then what does it mean? Like they will deliver you to tribulation in verse 9. Yeah. They will deliver you up to tribulation. This word tribulation is not referring to... So the word tribulation is used, like Jesus said, in the world you will have tribulation, right? So it's not referring to tribulation as in the 7-year period we're talking about, but tribulation as in hardship, difficulty, so on and so forth. So they will deliver you up to trouble, to be mistreated, treated harshly, to kill you, to be hated by all nations. So the same word is used, but we understand when he's talking about tribulation as in trials, hardships, difficulties versus tribulation as in the 7 years of tribulation or the great tribulation, which would be the last three and a half years. This verse will be, it's viewing the 7 years. So when it comes to this end of verse, it's the end of the 7 years of tribulation. End of verse, you're talking about verse... And then this Gospel will be preached in all the nations as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come, which is the beginning of the 7 years of tribulation. Okay, so I said then the end will come, it's like this is the last 7 years. That's nothing of... No, no, 4 to 14 is just before the start of the tribulation, 7 years. 15 to 31 is the 7 years. But the focus is on certain things like the Antichrist and a lot of false prophets coming. And then the end of the tribulation when Christ himself comes, the Son of Man comes. So he's just giving us a few things, not telling us all the details. But Revelation will give us all the details. Revelation chapter 6 onwards till the end. It gives full details of the 7 years of tribulation. Yeah, so let's... Now we're highlighting things in this passage. So 15 to 31, right? So Jesus is referring to the abomination of desolation, spoken by the prophet Daniel. So again, here I just want to highlight how Jesus himself recognizes that the book of Daniel was written by the... or spoken by the prophet Daniel. Now, when we studied Daniel in the third year, that's important because there are many people who are skeptical. They doubt the book of Daniel because the book of Daniel has such amazing prophecies. How can any man give such detailed prophecy? So they will say, no, no, no, no. This book was written after everything happened, they wrote it. But no, Daniel said it before it happened. And Jesus is saying here, this was spoken by Daniel the prophet. It wasn't written by somebody in the first century who then recorded history. No, no, no, no. Daniel said it even before those things happened. Because Jesus is saying it was spoken by the prophet Daniel. Let's just want to highlight that. The other thing that we're seeing in this passage is now Jesus is saying verse 16, those who are in Judea flee to the... So now he is very specifically talking about Jerusalem, Judea, Israel. What is in the land? Those who are here, you be careful. Okay, before he was saying all nations, verse nine, you be hated by all nations. Now he's very specific, you're here in Jerusalem. Hey, you better be careful because things are going to be very difficult in Israel. Very difficult. And this is exactly what Daniel prophesied and what John also prophesied. And we go through Revelation. He says Satan is going out with full vengeance against the woman. The woman is Israel who gave birth to the man child. That is Jesus. So the second half of the tribulation, three and a half years, Revelation 12. Satan is going with full vengeance against Israel because he knows this is his last chance. So if you're in Israel, a living there, if you're in Judea, this is going to be very difficult. It is going to be so difficult. Jesus is saying don't even come from rooftop to down. In verse 17, if you're on the house top, don't even go down. If you're in the field, don't even go back to the house. Meaning your life is so risky, so much risk. In those days, during the great tribulation, it's going to be so bad. Even just going within your house, something can happen. And he says, you know, giving birth is going to be so difficult. And verse 20, pray that you don't have to run for your life during winter or on the Sabbath. Because on the Sabbath day, everything stops. Like on the Sabbath day, basically, generally, the strict Jews, they will not do anything. They won't start the car. They won't drive the car. They only walk on the Sabbath. Now imagine if you had to run for your life on the Sabbath. Everything is shut down. They're strict Jews. Even in hotels, they will not come to work. You are on your own food and all you will take. They're still very strict. That means on the Sabbath day, you don't do any work. 6 p.m. Friday till Saturday, 6 p.m. No work, Sabbath. So this is on that Sabbath, on that time, don't... If you have to run for your life, where do you go? And winter. So just pray that you don't have to run for your life during these times. By West 21, there will be great tribulation. Such has not been since the beginning of the world. That's West 21. The kind of trouble you will see here is going to be so great. And, you know, Daniel calls it the time of Jacob's trouble. I think it's in Daniel 12. Let me see. Yeah, West 1. Daniel 12. You know, as Daniel is saying, at that time, Michael shall stand up the great Prince who stands watch over the sons of your people. Daniel 12. And there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered. And there shall be everyone who is found written in the book. So Daniel 12. This is referred to as the time of Jacob's trouble, meaning... And so Gabriel already told Daniel, Daniel 12. Jesus is saying again here in Matthew 24 and verse 21, there will be such trouble. No other nation has seen it like this. You know, so much. And this is all going to be because the Antichrist is going to go against Israel. Who's the Antichrist? He's going to be a political leader. He's going to be a man empowered by the devil who came as a man of peace for seven years. In the middle of seven years, he's going to break the treaty and he's going to go against Israel. Starting by desecrating the temple. He'll set himself as God. He'll do all kinds of things. And he's going to attack the people of Israel. And Jesus said, Daniel said, Jesus said, there will be trouble like you've never seen before. No other nation has seen this kind of thing. Yeah, he'll be... When I say politically, I don't know whether he'll be a president or a prime minister or whatever, but he'll be a man who comes into power. Because Daniel explains this. He talks about... He talks about there'll be 10 leaders in what was the former European Union, former Roman Empire. There'll be 10 leaders. And from one... Daniel chapter 8, he says, from one of the four regions which the Greek Empire was broken into, the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great was broken into four parts. So big areas like Greece, Turkey, the whole region around Syria, and then Northern Africa. From one of these parts, a little horn will rise. Little horn means little leader. Now three out of the 10 leaders, the 10 horns, the 10 leaders from the former Roman Empire, three of them, this little horn will influence them, three of them, and they will push them up. So this little horn, this little leader who comes, he comes from any one of these four areas, he comes as a leader, and these 10 leaders who are part of the former Roman Empire will support him and they will push him into prominence. So Daniel uses the word horns. Horns is talking about leaders, like what we would say is, in Bible times they call them kings, but in our day we look at them as political leaders, you know, people of influence, presidents and so on. And so this little horn will then begin to speak pompous things against God. He's the Antichrist. He'll be supported by 10 of these leaders who emerge in the former Roman Empire, which is mostly part of the European Union today. They will support him. So that's how he comes into power. Okay. We will look at those things in detail in the third year. So there's going to be tribulation, verse 23, again, in the middle of the tribulation, there are going to be people who are going to be false Christs and false prophets. And they're going to show signs and wonders. Now, even the Apostle Paul said, 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2, he said, Satan will come with lying signs and we see that during the second half of the tribulation, God himself, this is Revelation chapter 11, God himself will put two prophets on the earth who will show great signs and wonders. Now, we know one of them will be Elijah because Malachi 4 God said, I've behold, I will send Elijah the prophet. He said, I will send Elijah. So Elijah will come back. Elijah did not die physically. He'll come back. There's one more prophet. Two of them will be here. They will be on the earth in Jerusalem and they will do great signs and wonders. But there will also be a lot of other false prophets, false prophets, false Christs during this time, trying to deceive the people. And there will be one main false prophet. Revelation 13 talks about him. He will be hand in hand with the Antichrist and he will make people worship the image of the beast. He also will be doing signs and wonders. Okay, so Jesus is warning, be careful. There will be many false Christs, many false prophets. They will deceive many. And he says, if possible, even the elect verse 24, that means even the believers, the elect here in the context is the Jews, many Jews will also turn to Christ. Even they could be deceived by these false prophets and false Christs. So be very careful. And then there will even be people who are pretending that that is Jesus. So Jesus will come. He's there. Go there. Jesus come. He's there. Go there. Then Jesus says, don't get fooled. Because he says, where the conch is, that's where the eagles will gather. That means what he's saying is, if Jesus really comes, all the believers will be gathered to him. So that means that is how he will come. So you just receive where people are being gathered. And then he begins to say verse 29, there will be all these signs happening in the heavens and atmosphere and so on. Stars will fall and sing. Then the Son of Man will appear. I mean, the Son of Man appears, the believers will be gathered together to him. That means don't get fooled. If somebody says, oh, Jesus is there or Jesus is there, because when Jesus comes, everybody will be gathered to him. He will send his angels and they will gather all his people from the four corners of the earth. So that is the proof that that is the real Jesus. The angels will gather all the elect to him. So he's giving a picture like where the Caucasus, the angels will be there and the eagles will be there. Where the Son of Man is, the angels will gather all his people to him. So you don't worry. Oh, I have to go. Jesus has come. I have to book my flight and go there. You don't worry. Angels will take you there. If the Son of Man really comes, the angels will take you there. So don't get fooled when people say, the Christ has come here, Christ has come there. No, don't worry, because if the Son of Man comes, he will bring you to himself. The angels will gather you to himself. But he will come at the end. He says here, then the Son of Man will appear. This is after the tribulation, after all these things that happened, after all the Son of Man. This is Revelation 19. And Jesus is coming in the clouds of glory. Those of us who have gone to be with them, we will come with him. Those of us who are alive on the earth, we will be gathered together to him. And he is going to execute vengeance on those who do not know God. By the word of his mouth, he will destroy them. Zechariah chapter 14, it says there, it's very sad to read it, but it says the flesh will just dry up on their body. That will just disappear. Just by the word of his mouth. Revelation 16, it says blood will flow as high as the horses hoof, about five feet high for about 230 miles, blood will flow like that at the battle of Armageddon. So this is like the end of the tribulation battle. He has not given all these details here, but we know all these details from Revelation. We know all these other passages. Okay. Now he's giving us exhortation. Okay. In view of what I have said, how do you live? What are some things you have to think about? So that is verses 32 to 51. Let's read that and then we will cover that. Two verses each, please. Now learn this parable from the victory when its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves. You know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors. Those that were assuredly I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away. But of the day and our no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only, but as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the day of the son of man be. For us in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and did not know until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the coming of the son of man be. Then two men will be in the field, one will be taken and other left. Two women will be grinding in the mill, one will be taken and other left. What's therefore for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming, but know this that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken. Therefore you also be ready for the son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Verse 48, 45, sorry. Who then is a faithful and wise servant whom his master made ruler over his household to give them food in due season. Blessed is that servant whom his master when he comes will find so doing. Verse 47, surely I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil servant says in his heart my master is delaying his coming. Can read all three verses. And begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with the drunkards. The master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of and will cut him into and appoint him his portion with the high hypocrites they shall be weeping and gnashing of tea. Thank you. All right. So verses 32 to 51 Jesus saying, okay, I've told you given you all these signs. Now how should you, what you should you be doing? Right. The main essence of verses 32 to 51 is watch and be ready. The essence of it is be watchful, live ready. Right. That's the essence of what he is saying. So let's just kind of get into some of the details. The first thing. So he says in verse 32, it says, see, you know, look at the fig tree, the parable or the illustration of the fig tree. Right. When the fig tree starts blooming, putting out the leaves and you know season is coming summer. Right. So in the same way, when you're seeing all these signs happen, know that the time is near. Some time of my return is near. That's what he's saying. Right. Just like how you see the fig tree, you know, okay, season is changing. Right. So in here in Bangalore, sometimes we see some flowers, some trees will start bearing certain kinds of flowers. Oh, okay. Now it is changing. It's becoming so like that. So you know that time is changing. Season is changing. It's time is near. But he says one very important thing. He says, I'm telling you, everything will be fulfilled from the time you see this, it will all happen in one generation. Okay. One generation. I mean, it's the people who see this, will they see the whole thing happen? Okay. So one generation again, now there's a lot of question. How many years is a generation? The way, I mean, if you go from Bible generally, it's 40 years, you know, 40 years. So if you go according to how the way be, the way things are happening in the world, meaning how sociologists are looking at things, today they look at it in blocks of 15 years. Right. Example, they say there was the baby boomers, the Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Gen Beta, every 15 years they see, this is sociologists, I'm not saying Bible, but sociologists, people are studying, you know, people. They say every 15 years, there's a change in the way people are living. So that is according to sociology, according to Bible, every 40 years generally. So some things, so we don't know exactly, you know, how many years that will be. But Jesus said, in one generation, the generation that starts seeing all of these things happen in it, you know, in that one generation will see everything fulfilled. It's going to happen so fast. Okay. Now, some Bible teachers, scholars who, especially talk about the end times, they use what Jesus mentioned here from the fig, learn this parable from the fig tree. And they kind of take it one step and say, okay, the fig tree represents Israel. Okay, now, remember Jesus didn't say it, they're just kind of stretching it, like, you know, say, okay, fig tree represents Israel. When the fig tree blossoms begins to put out at least, it's taking, showing signs of life. So this, okay, from the time Israel became a nation, just 1948, or some people say, from the time Israel recaptured Jerusalem, which is 1967, from the generation that saw that, within that generation, everything will be fulfilled. Some people say it like that. But, you know, when you read these verses, Jesus is not necessarily saying the fig tree is representing Israel. He's not specifically saying that. He's just saying, see, you know how to know that there's a change in season by looking what happens to the fig tree. So that's the illustration he's using. Some people extended to say that, okay, the fig tree represents Israel. From the time Israel came into its power on that generation, we'll see, and so on. So, what I do agree with, in that understanding is, yeah, Israel becoming a nation is a very important step towards fulfilling all the other prophecies, because only then the temple can be rebuilt. Correct. Only if they go back to their own land, the people are there, and the people take possession of Jerusalem, only then they can actually rebuild the temple. So, it is very logical, right? It is very logical. And so, 1948 is a very important part. People went back, they got it as a nation. 1967 is important because they recaptured Jerusalem. So, that is also very important, right? It is all moving in the right direction to seeing the prophecies fulfilled. Okay. Today, Jewish people are there. They own the land. They have control over East Jerusalem. The West side is still given to the Arabs because they had to have peace. On the other side is Jordan. This side is Israel, and then there's Palestinians. So, there's a lot of trouble going on, but at least they have control over East Jerusalem. So, things are fine. Things are ready in the sense that if they, I don't know how it's going to happen, but they can go in and rebuild a temple on that Temple Mount. Most likely, the Antichrist will be able to broker peace. Now, he'll come as a man of peace, and he's going to say, okay, I'm going to get permission for the Temple to be rebuilt. If he gives them permission, they will rebuild it up very fast. Maybe a few months, the Temple will be there because they've got everything ready. So, most likely, the way this man is able to come into a place of prominences, he's the only man who would be able to make peace between Jews and Arabs to the point where the Temple can be rebuilt. Now, people are trying to keep them from fighting. That is, even trying to do that is very difficult. But this man comes as a man of peace. It says he will sign a covenant of peace for seven years. He'll sign. So, he'll be able to do it. So, that is how he will come on the scene. So, anyway, so that was this, this fig tree. Okay. To some extent, yeah, that, you know, that big tree, if you want to say it represents Israel. But is that exactly what Jesus said? No. If you want to extend it a little bit, fine, but definitely it's important that Israel came back to its own land. They got to control of Jerusalem. All those things are very important. The verse 36 to 51. Another interesting thing that Jesus says this, he says, hey, as in the days of Noah, so will it be. And so there are two parts to this. One is he's talking about the way people were living in Noah's time. They didn't basically, if you want to summarize it, they didn't care about God. They were, you know, busy marrying and things. So you can imagine Noah was preaching. You know, God told him, Noah, you build the Ark and I'm going to send a flood on the earth. Now, till that time, they never seen a flood. So you can imagine Noah's building the Ark. He's a preacher of righteousness. He's preaching to the people. Nobody's listening to him. They are going with their own life. He's saying, hey, blood is coming. Nobody's listening. He's building the Ark. Why are you building blood is coming? Nobody's listening. So that is the first thing. So he says it's going to be like that just before the end times. Nobody will pay attention to the preaching of righteousness. You know, the preaching of who's at the great revelation, Antichrist. What do you say? A rapture. Church. What do you say? No, no, no. So they'll be busy with their own things. You know, marrying, giving in marriage, enjoying, et cetera. So that's the first part. The second thing he says is just as the people until the day that Noah entered the Ark. I think this is a great picture of God taking the church out of the way before the judgment is poured out on the earth. And we will see this, you know, in one of the upcoming chapters, we will say, why do we say that the rapture of the church will take place before the tribulation? Because Jesus used the typology of Noah. What happened? Noah's time. The righteous people were taken into the Ark. Then the judgment was poured out on the unrighteous people who never listened. Then it was over. Then they came back. So the Ark is a type. I mean, I would say like a picture here of God taking the church out of the way. Because they entered. He says, just like Noah's time. Just like Noah's time. This will be. First, nobody was paying any attention. They're all doing their own thing. Second, when it came, God took the righteous out of the way, went into the Ark. Judgment was poured out. They were kept in a place of safety. Then judgment is over. Then they were released back onto the land. Okay. So the typology of Noah is one, you know, how Jesus used it is one example of one, one of the many reasons. There are the other stronger reasons we'll see. So, and then he says, until the flood came and then everything is over at that time, you know, the whole thing will be so sudden. Two people will be together. One will take one. We left, you know, those things will come this coming of the Son of Man. The angels will go and they'll gather people to Jesus. The elect. Those who believed in him, they will gather them. Right. So the essence is he's saying, okay, see, you don't know when this is going to happen. You just do what you're supposed to do and be ready. So it's like the example of a person who's given charge of the house. Right. So your charge of the house, two things. He uses the picture of a thief. He uses the picture of the master of the house. So given charge of the house. You don't know when thief is coming. So you always be alert. Second, the masters put you in charge of the house. Master is gone. You don't know when he's coming back. So just keep doing your work. Take care of everything that is inside the house. So that anytime he comes, you will be ready. So be watchful. Be ready. That's the way we are supposed to live. Matthew 24 understood. Okay. So to summarize, you can look at it in three parts. First part is signs before the tribulation. Second part is what is happening to the tribulation. Third part is exaltation. You know how to live in the end times. Live ready. Be watchful. Be ready. Francis. Pastor, in the time of tribulation, like the trouble for Israel. So it's like Antichrist is killing Israel. Yeah. Yeah. So there will be trouble all over the words. Okay. So the tribulation affects everyone, but very specifically for the Jewish people will be much more. Okay. There will be martyrs all over the world. Everyone who believes in Jesus will suffer, but especially those from Israel. Revelation 12 ends with the fact that there will be many who will be martyred in Israel, in Jewish people. Revelation 13 all over the world. Anyone who does not receive the mark of the beast will be killed. So you can say imagine Bangalore, you know, I don't know how the influences, but the thing is you cannot buy yourself unless you receive the mark of the beast. Now, many people without they won't know they'll sign up. It's okay. Fine. But for believers, people who say, Hey, no, no, Bible says, do not receive the mark of the beast. The Bible also says Revelation 14. There will be four angels who are going around bringing a message saying, you know, one will be preaching the everlasting gospel. Another angel will say, do not receive the mark of the beast. The message is do not receive the mark of the beast. So God is giving warning. There'll also be the two witnesses, the prophets preaching. There'll be 144,000 Jews preaching. So a lot of the people are telling, don't receive the mark of the beast, but there's a problem. If you refuse the mark of the beast, you can't buy yourself and you will also be killed. So during the tribulation, many people will be killed for their faith in Jesus, for refusing to receive the mark of the beast and so on. But Revelation 20 says all those who were killed during the tribulation for the Lord Jesus, they will be raised up. They'll be resurrected. End of the tribulation, they'll be resurrected. Okay. Any other questions? Question from previous class, last class. We discussed that when tribulation comes, some believers go up and some believers will be here on earth. You're talking about the rapture of the church? In the rapture of the church, all believers who are alive will be caught up. Yes. But as soon as the rapture happens, many people will become believers. Correct. After it happens, I think next one, two days, there will be lots of salivations because... So pastor rapture will be visible to the other persons who are... They won't see the Lord. They won't see the Lord. Because he's coming in the air and we are going to meet him in the air. I mean, it will happen with the twinkling of a knife. So before they get battered, you'll be there. Because the other things, you'll be there. It'll happen like that. But you and I will be missing. Can you imagine? No. All over the world. Bodies are... Believers are just disappearing. It will be chaos. You're driving the car, you're gone. Your car is going. Think of all these things will happen. Aeroplanes will fall from the sky. So many things happen. What happened? Then only thing people can say is rapture happened. Because every person who's gone is a believer in Jesus Christ. And so many people are going to... People who are hearing the gospel now, but they're not receiving. Immediately after that, they're going to believe. But they're left behind. They're on the earth. They have to go through tribulation. They're outside the ark. And many of them will be martyred. Because you see this in the book of Revelation. It's chapter 6, chapter 8, chapter 12, chapter 13. So many people will be dying, dying, dying. You're seeing them up in heaven. Coming. Also, is there any picture of this pastor that she is... During this tribulation, even if people want to die, they can't. That won't be there. Yeah, it's the revelation. I mean, many people want to die, but they won't die. I think it's Revelation 8. Let me just give you the exact verse. Read it. They will cry to the mountains, fall on us. Let me say which chapter it is. I don't remember this off-hand, but it's there. That is there during the tribulation. Yeah, yeah. That is there during the tribulation. Just that they will be so affected. Yeah. What is this? Revelation 6. Revelation 6.12 to 17. It says, you know, all these things are happening. Revelation 6.12 to 17. And the kings of the earth, rich men, mighty men, they hide themselves in the cave. And they're telling to the mountains, fall on us. I mean, they want to die. You know, then I think there's something more as well, right? And Revelation 9.6. In those days, men will seek death and will not find it. They will desire to die and death will flee from them. Meaning, you know, the pain is going to be so much, they want to die. But, you know, it's like, it's, they can't. So, yeah, I mean, they, so they may, let's say they don't take that step of committing suicide yet, but they want to die because of the, the torment that is going on. Yeah. When rapture comes, it's like the tombs will be opened and people will be resurrected. So, what, since it was like actually quoted, like, like when, when, when we are discussing the day after the class, like if, if a believer married to a gender, I mean, Hindu person and she has faith on Jesus, but she couldn't go to church or something, but she had faith on Jesus and she lived a very holy life and she died. So, what happens is according to the Hindu culture, they'll burn the body. There won't be any tomb or anything. So, when Jesus come, what will happen to these people who are burned? Who, who the bodies are burned? Yeah, same. So, how we are, how, what happens to our body after we, when a believer dies, what happens? But it doesn't matter, right? Some believers have died in the sea, sharks have eaten their body already. Some believers have died somewhere in the plain crush or something mountain. We don't know where the body is, body is burnt. So, believers have died all over the world and the bodies are gone, right? So, it really doesn't matter what has happened. The fact is that at the time of the rapture, their spirit will come and God will give them a glorified body. So, it's not dependent on anything on the natural. The fact is, natural is gone already. Whether they put you in a ground tomb, it's already gone, it's already become dust or whether it was burnt or died in the ocean or mountaintop, wherever, our body is all gone. But God will give these spirits glorified bodies. So, every believer, regardless of how they died physically, where the body doesn't matter. So, actually nowadays, whether you put in the tomb or not, doesn't matter. Because God will give them glorified bodies. So, is it not dependent on the natural? Yeah, it's figurative because basically the bodies come, arise. But is God giving them the glorified bodies? Actually, it's mentioned that when Jesus arise on the third day, the tombs are open, there is an hour. So, over there, okay, there's also one question on the chat. Chaiya's asked us how we will know about Mark of the Beast. Okay, so we'll take these two questions up next week. Mark of the Beast, how will we know it? And we will come to it Chaiya in Revelation 13. We will discuss it, but I will definitely answer it next week. Also, we will answer, what was the question? Or what happened when Jesus rose, when the tombs were open, right? So, we'll answer both these questions next week. Alright, let's just close and pray. Anyone can just pray and we'll quickly close. Heavenly Father, thank You, Lord. Thank You for the class. So, Lord, thank You for teaching. So many things, Lord. Thank You for Pastor Ashish, Lord. God help us to learn everything in deeper way and have an understanding and use for Your glory and live for Your glory, O Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen. Amen. Thank You, Rowan. We'll see you next week. Bye.
