 The end of the world in Bible prophecy again We don't see some beautiful things here and again I love this I love this message and we're gonna see a number of things I'm gonna bring in our prophecy chart again and many of you have seen this chart many of you have it some haven't But this is a prophecy chart a chart of time Everything you see all of these events you see are prophecies that are leading us to an eternal state with God An eternal place with our God and again We're gonna cover this go through this chart today is gonna help you to understand where we are in prophecy But I'm a topical teacher, so I'm gonna give you four topics. We're gonna look at first We're gonna see what? The end of the world as they see it and what I'm gonna do here I'm gonna give you the end of the world as Hollywood sees it and then we're gonna gonna also look at what should be our Response as Christians to the end of the world message What how should we react and relate to the end time message then I'm gonna define what is Bible prophecy What is this message of the end times? What is it all about and then last? I'm gonna give you an overview of the end of the world in Bible prophecy I love that because what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna refresh your hearts again Prophecy one or one I'm gonna take you through and give you an overview of the end times And we're gonna see some amazing things today, but I was starting with this picture Look at this picture. This is how the world thinks of the end of the world when you think of the end of the world They think in their mind that the world is going to just be destroyed this great Another comment is going to hit us of some plan is going to crash into us Especially when you read verses like this This is 2nd Peter chapter 3 verse number 10 Peter said this he said but the day of the Lord would come as a thief in the Night in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise and the elements Shall melt with firm and heat the earth also and the works that are there in Shall be burned up now say see we just stopped at that one verse It looks pretty bad for planet earth, but thank God There are other verses in Peter where he says Peter says we look for new heavens and a new earth Where in the wells? Righteousness God is going to renovate this current world that we know there is coming a fire baptism of planet earth But when the fire is Cleanses and we step on the new earth is going to be a beautiful world And we're going to see that as we go forward this morning the end of the world is not futility It's going to be beautiful for the redeeming. We're going to see that as we go forward so let's first look at the end of the world as They see it and what I'm going to do I'm going to look at a few topics and then we're going to look at some some famous people in history and even now And we're going to look at some of their views regarding some of these topics So well look at look at heaven first. What does some of Hollywood believe about heaven? I'm going to start off with Robin Williams. We know that Robin Williams. He died tragically last year and He was asked a question if heaven exists What would you like God to say when you arrive at the pearly gates? His first answer is this they're sitting near the front The concert begins at five it'll be Mozart Elvis and then one of your choosing This is his response His second response if heaven exists to know that there's laughter just to hear God go to Jews walked into a bar Now listen, he thinks when you go to heaven that God's gonna be in heaven telling jokes. No God won't be in heaven telling jokes He believes that again concerts gonna be going on and Mozart planning and Elvis playing Elvis Elvis didn't leave the building He's gonna be there playing The world has some weird ideas about heaven Look at this next one. Look at this next one. Victor Hugo. He's a famous French poet and author This is what he says about heaven and paradise. He said sacrificing the earth for paradise is giving up substance for the shadow He calls paradise or heaven a shadow He goes on and say an intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise Man, give me give me a stupid paradise any day over an intelligent hell Again, they don't understand. This is their understanding of these places, but they don't know what the Bible says about it Let me give you another look at this one Katy Perry Katy Perry has a has a Christian heritage that is rich her parents They are godly people they are tenorate pastors and preachers and and they pray for their daughter But but this young lady listen what she says she said I don't believe in in a heaven Our hell or an old man sitting on the on a throne I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable. She said I'm not Buddhist I'm not Hindu. I'm not Christian, but I still feel I have a deep connection with God listen a deep connection with the God of this world not the God of heaven She's she's turned her back on on her Christian heritage They got some weird whenever you do that you get weird views Look at this next one. What about hell? What does Hollywood believe about hell? Now this one really shook me and really really hit my heart. So what I'm gonna do How many know president Ronald Reagan? He was a great president not on that He was a great godly man as well, but he had a son has a son His son is Ron Reagan. Ron Reagan has claimed to be a Devout atheist. He don't believe in God. Well, I want you to listen to Ron Reagan in his own words in regards to hell listen at this Hi, I'm Ron Reagan an unabashed atheist and I'm alarmed by the intrusions of religion into our secular government That's why I'm asking you to support the freedom from religion foundation the nation's largest and most effective association of Atheists and agnostics working to keep state and church separate just like our founding fathers intended Please support the freedom from religion foundation Ron Reagan life-long atheist not afraid of burning in hell. Oh my god What a statement what I heard in my heart dropped. I said what not afraid To burn in here. This man's on my prayer list. I'm praying I'm calling his name out before heaven God give this man an encounter with you Because he don't realize I mean believe me. He doesn't he does not realize hell You know he said he's an atheist, you know the Bible says the fool have said in his heart. There is no God You know God doesn't believe in atheists Yeah, he doesn't He don't believe in atheists He doesn't you know when atheists go to hell he believes in God, but it's too late Listen, I would encourage you put Ron Reagan on your prayer list call that man's name out before God What about Mark Twain? Mark Twain said this he said go to heaven for the climate go to hell for the company I don't think so man I'm going to heaven all the way man. I'm a heaven guy Look at this next one Al Franken. He was a part of Saturday Night Live now He's one of our US senators. He said I think hell exists on earth It's a psychological state or it can be a physical state people who have severe mental illness are in hell People who have lost a loved one are in hell. I think there are all kinds of different hells It's not a place you go to after you die. Oh, yeah The Bible is quite clear about hell You know again, Hollywood have all these weird ideas and weird views about eternity Listen, let's last one in the last view on the end of the world. What does Hollywood think about the end of the world? Look at this How many how many saw the movie and read the book the Enders game? Well? This is the author Orson Scott card listen what he said he said you frighten me when you say there isn't time I don't see why Christians have to have have been expecting the imminent end of the world for millennia He said but it keeps not ending. He said so far so good See his mentality at the end of the world is doom and gloom He said why are Christians so excited about the end of the world you people frightened me? well Orson Card does not understand the end of the story and what's so beautiful sayings? God has so beautifully given us the end of the story in the scriptures It is our job as believers to proclaim truth to this world to let them know that that again God has all this thing under control and God's future for the redeemed. It's gonna be awesome You know, I like making the world jealous about where we are going I like to make the word jealous about about our eternity with him And again, we're gonna see that this morning as we go forward look at his next one The movie came out called the end is this is the end listen what they say about the end of the world They said nothing ruins a party like the end of the world and believe in the end of world will ruin your party Again this move again It was a it was a mockery against against the gospel against the word of God and again Hollywood again They don't believe in the end time they believe that they have have I have all all the time in the world But there is an incoming and again if you're not ready for that in that end will affect and change your Eternity and again, we're gonna see that this morning now What should be our response or what should our response be to the end of the world as Christians? How should we respond to the end-time message? You know, I mean some Christians that come to me brother Perkins I'm so scared. I'm so afraid. I'm so anxious I'm full of anxiety about the end-time wars and rumors of wars families Oh, you know, listen Christian the end times should not make you panic The end times should not make you anxious It should not cause that kind of fear on you if that's how you're relating to it. You're not understanding it properly For the redeem our future with God is beautiful These end times even though they may be negative events those negative events point to a positive And we're gonna see that as we go forward when we think of the end of the world the majority of time We see it as a negative But if we focus on the end times through the lens of God's prophetic word We will get a different perspective a clearer heavenly view of the last days the scriptures give us some wonderful examples of how Christians should respond to the end times and the end of the world So let me give you some of the responses that we should have to the end time this first one We know it very familiar. It's found in Romans 13 verse 11 Paul wrote this he says and that Knowing the time see we know we live in the last day how many would agree winning winning in times How many would agree? Okay, we know that we're living in the end times And that knowing the time that now it is high time to awake out of sleep For now is our salvation Nearer than when we believe listen our response should be that we're gonna wake out of sleep We're gonna wake out of the cold lethargic life, and we're gonna believe the word of God. Listen. We are living in the end times We should be the most alert of all people in the world because we realize that we've entered the end time season What should our response be look at this one? Jesus gave us this of another familiar passage the Gospel of Luke chapter 21 verse number 28 Jesus said and when these things begin to come to pass Jesus said when you begin to see the signs of the times Wars and rumors of wars famines earthquakes in many places Pestilence diseases when you begin to see these things when you begin to see these things He said then look up Christian. He said Christian lift up your head for your redemption Draweth nigh for the Christian the end time message even though there are some negative events those negative events should produce a Positive in us. It should motivate us to reach a lost world for the kingdom of God We should not be afraid of we should not shy back shy away from the end time message We need to embrace it and allow it to motivate us to reach the harvest Here's another response look at this Hebrews 10 25 the writer wrote he said not Forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but Exalting one another and so much the more as you see the day Approaching because we see the day approaching. He said don't forsake going to church. That's why you're here today You're not forsaking your assembling together But also because you see the day approaching. He said we Christians should be exalting one another We should be encouraging other Christians to come we should encourage other Christians to stay with stay with Christ You know you got friends and family members that are not near you right now You have Christian friends that used to be here that I no longer with you God lead you on them on your heart You need to go and reach out to them where you've been buddy. I haven't seen you in a while You need to go and encourage them. You need to exalt them To stay with the state with Christ and keep their hand on the plow See our response because we understand the end times should be different than the world's response The world has no hope of the future They have no hope we have a hope that God has given and our hope with him is beautiful and again, I love it I love it so much in the scriptures. Now. What is the meaning of Bible prophecy? What is this end-time message all about? I want to start with a passage here. I love this passage so much 2nd Peter chapter 1 Verse 19 through 21 Peter wrote he said we have also a more sure Word of prophecy listen this message of Bible prophecy. It's a sure word It's a sure foundation. You can stand on what God says. He's gonna do for the future Everything he says he's gonna do it will come to pass. It's a sure word He said where on to you do well that you take heed Christian You need to take heed to the end-time message. Don't let this message slip a lot of times We let it slip because we're afraid of knowing the future. God wants you to know the future Don't be afraid of it embrace it take heed to it as unto a light that shined into the dark place Until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts Peter said knowing this first that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation For the prophecies came not in old time by the will of man But holy men of God's spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost the spirit of God will come up on the prophets of old Zachariah Micah Malachi the spirit of God will come up on these prophets and they will begin to write a Panoramic view of the future We live in an amazing time because we can see their prophecies We can see what's coming to pass and we can see what's coming in the future These men wrote under the unction of the Holy Spirit Listen, it's so amazing what we have in our times today by looking at all of these end-time events in prophecy What is Bible prophecy? Bible prophecy signifies the speaking forth of the mind and Counsel of God regarding the future, you know, Bible prophecy tells us exactly What God is going to do in the end of the world, you know the psychics I was watching news watching TV the other day and now they got the California psychics commercials coming coming online again And these California psychs that they've given over a million prophecies are psychic readings $1 a minute and People are people are signing up getting their getting their getting their future read, but it's not it's not the future from the word of God Scripture warns against going to the psychic the Bible says you will defile your spirit by going to a psychic The psychic can't give you the future only God can give you the future Look what it says prophecy is not foretelling. It is the declaration of that which cannot be known by natural means It's it is the fourth telling of the will of God regarding to the future. I love that Bible prophecy is the fourth telling of the will of God, you know, God says I am God There's no other God beside me God says I am God I am God who will tell you the future at the beginning God says I'm gonna tell you exactly what I'm gonna do if you just spend time with me in my word I'll show you. I'll tell you exactly what I have in store for you Whether with reference to the past the present or the future Bible prophecy again It's the fourth telling of the will of God. What is Bible prophecy? Bible prophecy is God's master plan to restore mankind to to the former glory that he lost At Adam's fall in the garden all future events in Bible prophecy point to our future with him with God There will soon be a day when all of God's prophetic word will come will be completed And we will experience all that God has promised us the study of the end times Gives us insight into what is in store for those who choose to live for God. Listen It is best to live for God when you live for God. God has an exciting Future for the redeemed now if you choose not to live for God God also has an exciting judgment for rebels and Bible prophecy is quite clear on that You know There's a payday for sin if you choose to disobey and you choose not to accept God's love advance Jesus Christ then there's a payday coming for those who choose not to serve him now We're gonna see some amazing things here. Dr. Chuck. Mr.. His book prophecy 2020. Listen what he says about Bible prophecy I love this. He said Bible prophecy is more than a simple glimpse of what may what may lie ahead It is an overview of God's complete Plan for mankind. I love that. It's an overview of God's complete plan God is telling us exactly what's gonna happen in the future Man, I love it and and what I mean what I've seen in the scriptures I mean it is going to be exciting for the redeem So what I'm gonna do here in the in the last part of this particular study What we're gonna do I'm gonna give you an overview I'm gonna bring the chart in and I'm gonna give you an overview. I'm gonna stir you I'm gonna remind you of some of the prophecies, but I'm gonna show you again Just this beautiful Overview of our future. God has a wonderful future for the redeem So we're gonna start here. We'll bring the prophecy chart in you see the first red circle there here We have Christ in prophecy our Lord and Savior. I love this Jesus went to Calvary There were over 300 prophecies that led him to Calvary of the 300 prophecies The 108 of those prophecies were specific minute detailed prophecies prophecies like he would drink vinegar They would give him vinegar to drink. They would pierce him in the side. He would ride into Jerusalem riding a donkey He would be portrayed with 30 pieces of silver. He would come out of Bethlehem Ephrata I mean minute detailed prophecies in the scripture that led him to Calvary and guess what thanks He fulfilled those prophecies going to the cross Let me tell you something those prophecies led Jesus to Calvary to give every one of us today eternal life And I'm so glad you know when Peter tried to deliver Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane Peter was getting out of divine order and Jesus said Peter put your salt away He touched the man's ear gave me his ear back and he said let's go on and do what God have called us to do Peter Peter was trying to stop prophecy, but the prophetic word said Jesus He must go to cross to redeem mankind. He fulfilled those prophecies now There are other problems we're gonna see in a few minutes that are still left on his life that he will come back to fulfill But again prophecy led Jesus to Calvary. Let's go back to the chart And we'll see the next circle here We have the church age and then we have the rapture and the judgment seat of Christ now We are currently today in the church age the dispensation of the church The church age began in the book of Acts chapters 1 through 22 and guess what saints We're still in the book of Acts today Here God is using the body of Christ to reach the world every one of us God Want to use us in some capacity in the church age to reach the world here the body of Christ is at work in the earth But guess what this church age this dispensation of the church is rapidly coming to an end The Bible tells us the next major event on God's calendar is that event of the rapture where Christ is gonna rapture the church First in us alone is chapter 4 verse 13 through 18 Christ is gonna take us up The church will be caught up the Bible says we're gonna meet Jesus in the air. I Love this rapture says I love the rapture I've taught it before here, but I love the rapture because this rapture is gonna usher me into the presence of my savior I'm gonna see Jesus face-to-face Not only that but this rapture will give me a glorified body Philippians 320 Paul wrote he says he says that Jesus he's gonna change this vile body That it might be fashioned like unto his glories, but I'm longing for a glorified body I'll be 56 my next birthday, man. I'm not as fast as I used to be I Can't run. I'm I just run like that. I can't I gotta run, you know, a little smoother now. You know what I mean It lets me know that that I'm in a world. That's that's contaminated. I'm in a world that's dying I'm longing for the day when I receive my glorified body. Oh, man That body is gonna be so beautiful the Bible says script lets us know that the glorified body Once we see that body the sin nature will no longer be a part of our being Those that are glorified at the time of the rapture You will no longer have the war in your members of the flesh The temptation will not be there ever again. We will be glorified with Christ The Bible says and so shall we ever be with the Lord But the script it goes on to tell us further that as we go to the rapture We're also going to another event called the great the judgment seat of Christ This is Romans chapter 14 verse 10 and first Corinthians 5 verse 10 and 11 Here the scripture predicts that Christians every one of us that are born again We will stand before the judgment seat of Christ the Bema seat Every believer here no matter what you are what capacity you're in every one of us We're given a count before Christ of our laborers as a believer You know if you're born again today, you are required to do works The apostle Paul said Christian He said be careful that you maintain good works if you're a Christian you should have good works that testify That you're a Christian, you know, many Christian get saved and they sit on the pew and that's all they do Brother Perkins, I'm say I'm not saved by work. That's any mention both. That's right You're not saved by works, but after you save Jesus is looking for you to do something You know, many of us we realize, you know that God saved us, but we don't realize that he saved us with a purpose Every one of us have something to do in the kingdom of God You may not be a preacher you may not be a pastor But every one of us have something to do in the kingdom and we need to ask God God What is my purpose father? Why did you save me? What what do you want to do? What how do you want to use me in my life Lord? What can I do for the kingdom of God every one of us need to ask that question to God every day? The Bible talks about Christians stand for the judgment seat. Some Christians will receive rewards Some Christians will lose rewards the script says that our works are either good works or our works will become worthless works But one thing about the judgment seat, even though Christians may lose rewards Christians will still be saved at the judgment seat of Christ Now this is a wonderful event for the believers only only Christians will be at the judgment seat of Christ Now let's go back to the chart and I'm gonna take it back down to earth See the next circle here. We have the great Tribulation this is the time the Bible talks about Jesus said the tribulation will be a time this world has never seen Nor never ever will see again We find the tribulation beginning in the book of Revelation chapter 6 through chapters 19 21 judgments will enter the great tribulation I must admit the tribulation will be a rough ride for those that are part of it But the church will be delivered from this event the main purpose of the tribulation the the end result of the great tribulation Is that salvation will come to the house of Israel? But the tribulation will affect the whole world 21 judgments seven seal judgments seven trumpet judgments and seven vile judgments will enter the earth God is gonna judge man. God father. God's gonna judge rebels Not only 21 judgments, but mankind will also have to deal with the antichrist the man of sin Daniel level 11 36 to 45 tells us that the antichrist will be a self-will king The Bible says he will not honor the God of his fathers He will only honor the God of munitions or the God of war the Bible says that the antichrist He will wear out the saints any person who was born again in the tribulation The Bible says the antichrist will wear you out Anybody who saved in the tribulation they may become a martyr in the tribulation It's a whole different dispensation whole different world for those who find themselves in the tribulation Not only to have 21 judgments not only to have the antichrist But they also have to deal with the antichrist economy his system this mark of the beast system Men will not be able to buy or sell during the tribulation unless they have the identifier Mark in the right hand or in the forehead or if they worship antichrist listen It's gonna be a different Dispensation different time, but the Bible gives it to us But I'm so grateful saying because God father God puts a time limit on it it's gonna only last for seven years and God's gonna judge this time of Rebels men who have come against God He's gonna judge them the antichrist will be judged at the end of this thing It's gonna be amazing. Now, let's go back up to the chart again And what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take you back up to the heavens and I'm gonna show you another event that would transpire We'll see the marriage supper of the lamb We'll see the second coming of Christ and then we'll come down and see the battle of Armageddon now again I love this I mentioned before that when we are in heaven after we attend the Judgment seat of Christ the Bible lets us know that we will be a part of a great Banquet spread in heaven The Bible says blessed are those who are part of the marriage supper of the lamb Revelation 19 verses 7 through 10 here. This would be a banquet Spread in heaven only for the redeem You know no sinners will appear at the judge at the at the marriage supper And have you heard me say I mentioned before that I was real excited when I found out there be food in heaven I'm I just that just thrilled me. You know something about that just made me happy I've said many times as well. I don't care where I am as long as I'm at that table, but it's only For the redeem if you're born again, you'll be invited to that great banquet spread in heaven Man, what a banquet to be there with our Lord. I'm looking forward to that But the Bible goes on to tell us that after this event that the Bible talks about our Savior Jesus Christ He will come back in the second coming This is Christ coming back to planet earth to fulfill more prophecy But he's coming back to to deal with the antichrist. He's coming back to bring an end to the time of the seven-year Tribulation. He's coming back to judge the antichrist. He's coming back to bind Satan at this time He's coming back the Bible says as a man of war But not only is Christ coming, but he's coming back with the saints That's gonna be us riding those white horses coming with Christ Not only us, but also the angels of heaven We are coming back with Christ because Jesus in the second coming He's coming back at that time to take authority in the earth. He's coming to take authority He's coming to to take rule over planet earth. It's gonna be a Theocratic government meaning it would be a government ruled by God It's gonna be awesome says this world will finally experience a peaceful government Christ will be ruling at the him But he's gonna come back first to take authority and I'm telling you say it's gonna be a time The Bible says at the second coming of Christ revelation 1 verse 7 that when Christ come back that the world is Gonna mourn at this return reason why because Jesus is coming back with fire in his eyes The world never saw him like that. He's coming back as a judge to judge those rebels Who formed an alliance with antichrist? He's coming back to get them As a result of a second coming the Bible tells us revelation 19 verse 17 through 21 The Bible talks about a great event called the battle of Armageddon This battle will be a battle like none others I must say though this battle will be a one-sided battle because we already know saints that Jesus is gonna win this battle But what's gonna happen in the second coming of Christ? Give a clap. That's so good Jesus already won this battle In the second coming the second coming will will produce the battle of Armageddon The Bible says that blood will come up to the horses bridle God's gonna judge antichrist Jesus will judge antichrist at this time the antichrist and false prophet Will be taken from the Armageddon theater and they will be cast the Bible says alive Into the lake of fire, you know the Bible says that the valley of Megiddo It's gonna be like a big old wine vat and Jesus will tread the grapes of the unredeemed the evil Those wicked men that have formed the lines with antichrist They're gonna be gathered in the valley of Megiddo and Jesus gonna smash him like smashing grapes He's gonna judge rebels, but he's coming back to take authority in the earth He's coming back with purpose and that purpose is to set up his government and I love it man I love it so much because we the saints will be a part of that government. It's gonna be beautiful Let's go back to the chart. I'm gonna take a little bit further here And now you see this next circle this circle is the is the is the millennial kingdom of Christ or the thousand year reign of Jesus Revelation chapter 20 verses one on down one through verse verse nine verse ten and also Isaiah chapter nine verses six and seven Isaiah nine says that the government's will be on his shoulders Jesus our Savior is coming back to be the true Lord the Bible says the Zachariah that he would be king of the earth and Guess what the the Bible says the nations will come before him and they will honor and worship him as king The scripture says that we the saints that are glorified. We will reign with Christ We will be all over the world to help Christ govern the world. I'm looking forward to that You know this millennial kingdom will be a precursor or a foretaste of what he turned is gonna look like Man, I love this this it's gonna be beautiful peace The prince of peace will be on planet earth and the earth will experience peace like none other The Bible says the weapons of war shall be made Instruments of digging and and farming those plow those instruments of war will become plowshares There'll be no killing he said in this holy mountain Another thing about this millennium. I love so much. Look at this next one. I love this one God's gonna change the nature of the beast The Bible says a little child will leave these animals and won't be harmed The scripture says and I said that a little child He will put his hand on the most poisonous snakes den and the snake would not harm him The Bible says a child will leave them the scripture says the lion Leo the lion will eat straw like the ox You know, it amazed me today. I meet people who believe we're in the millennium. I said, man, let me take it to San Diego So I'm gonna see about that Get you some hay and throw that hay in that lion's den and see what he's gonna do. He's gonna lay on it as a bed The Bible says that the that the wolf and the lamb will lie together. You do it today. You got lamb chops We're not in the millennium yet, but I'm telling you say what's coming what God what the word of God has predicted What the word of God has given us in the future. It's gonna be awesome God's gonna take the the beast the nature of the beast out of the beast The lion will not even want flesh in the millennial kingdom This just a foretaste of what eternity will look like God's gonna allow a man to have dominion again over all of the animals Yeah, man, our future is awesome. You know, it's it's it's beautiful to stay with God You know the Bible says that the present sufferings of this world are not even worthy to be compared to the glory That's gonna be revealed Listen man, our future with God is gonna be awesome and it's best to stay with God You know nothing about the millennium. I love the Bible says that that men will live as long as a tree Some some people live the entire Thousand years without dying in the millennium. They would live as long as a tree. This is gonna be awesome It's a it's a pre it's a foretaste of eternity. This millennia ran and another thing too Satan would be bound during this time So Satan will not be able to tempt men in the millennial kingdom. I mean our future is going to be awesome Now let's go a little bit further. I'm gonna take you back up to the heavens And then I bring you down to the lower part of the chart But we're going to see the great white throne and the reality of hell Now the great white throne revolution 20 verse 11 through 15 This is one of those messages to me that stirs my heart up for the harvest Again here god is showing mankind that it's coming a day that he's going to judge those people who have rejected him There's coming a day when men will give an account for their rejection of god Men will give an account. I pray for ron reagan ron reagan is on my prayer list He's on he's on my talking list. I'm calling his name out before heaven lord save ron reagan You know ron reagan reminds me of apostle paul. He was on assignment You know to kill christians until he bumped into jesus I'm praying that ron reagan have a Damascus experience Yeah, I'm gonna pray for ron reagan. I believe let's call them a ron reagan save ron reagan or make bumper stickers save ron reagan man I'm serious man. I I'm believing god for this man's soul Because let me tell you something saints If ron reagan don't come to christ He's gonna stand for the white throne judgment and give an account for his rejection of god And guess what everyone that's here at the white throne? They will be eternally damned not a one of them will be saved every one of them will be assigned forever into the lake of fire There's coming a day. He's gonna wish That he accepted christ Because those that uh a judge that every one of them would go to the lake of fire the bible says Revolution 2010 talks about saving being cast there and and in 21 8 talks about it gives a list of people who goes to hell But everyone who has rejected christ Everyone who has not accepted god as their god.
