 Praise the Lord and good morning everyone. Thank you all for joining class, Jai Masiki. All our in-person students love it when I say Jai Masiki and they're all excited. So for their sakes, just for them to make them feel more at home, okay? We'll continue looking and studying Chapter 12, Christ's Resurrection and His Exaltation. And before we do a recap and continue, we'll pause for a word of prayer. So can any one of you please lead us in prayer, please? Anyone from our in-person students who haven't prayed so far or online students, anyone who hasn't prayed can lead us in prayer, please? Anyone? Nobody wants to pray? Anyone on online students like to pray, please? Yes, sister, can I pray? Yes, please, Sister Clement. Gracious, loving Heavenly Father God, we praise and thank you, Lord God, for your wondrous works in our lives of Father God this morning time. As we are part of our Lord God, going to listen from your word of Father God, help it take root in our lives and bring forth much fruit for your glory of Father God. Bless the time, Lord, bless us. Sister Celina, Lord God, teaching us, help us as students to imbibe it in our lives, Lord God, and bring glory and honor to your name. For we ask all this in the most precious name of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, amen. Thank you, Esther. So in Chapter 11, we're basically studying Christ's Resurrection and His Exaltation. We looked at scripture references with the foretold Christ's Resurrection. We also looked at various references where Jesus Himself said He would die and be resurrected. Then we looked at references where He showed Himself alive after His Resurrection. So we looked at the proof that Jesus indeed was resurrected from the dead. We also looked at the nature of Christ's Resurrection and we were looking at and studying the doctrinal significance of His Resurrection. So in the doctrinal significance of Christ's Resurrection, we basically studied three points. The first one is Christ's Resurrection ensures our regeneration. Thank you. And Christ's Resurrection ensures our second one, justification. The third one is Christ's Resurrection ensures that we will receive perfect, resurrected bodies as well. So Christ's Resurrection ensures our regeneration. It ensures our justification and it ensures that we will receive perfect, resurrected bodies as well. And we had a good time of discussing last time that some good questions that were raised. So we see that we all suggest to kind of answer those questions, those doubts and just to clarify things. I'll just restate some of the things that I said, which are very, very important. We see several times in the New Testament where there's a connection between Jesus's Resurrection with our final body resurrection. Jesus is the first fruits of those who resurrected from the dead. But we also see in Jesus's Resurrection in the New Testament, there are various places where it connects with our final bodily resurrection. So 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 14 says, and God raised Jesus Christ and God raised the Lord and will also raise us up with power. 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 14 and 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 14 says that he who raised Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and bring us with him into his presence. So we will also be raised up from the dead just as God raised up the Lord Jesus Christ. And when we are raised up from the dead, we will have what kind of bodies? Glorious, imperishable, spiritual bodies that is raised in glory and raised in power. Just like Jesus, we also will have glorified, resurrected spiritual bodies. And we see that Jesus's body was also raised up if he had the same physical body, but it was a transformed body, which means that body will never again suffer, will never again die, will never again face any kind of illness or weakness. In the same way, we will also have our physical bodies, but we are transformed body where we will not suffer, we will have no weaknesses, we will have no illnesses and will never die. So death has put on immortality. 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 53 where Paul talks about the resurrected body in 1 Corinthians chapter 15. And then he says in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verses 42 to 44, he talks about what kind of bodies that we will be raised up in, which I just mentioned. So we see that when Jesus was raised up, he had a physical body that could be touched, that could be handled. So we read in Matthew chapter 28 verse 9, when the women came to the tomb, they found the tomb empty, but when Jesus met them and said, Greetings, what did they do? They clasped on to his feet and they worshiped him. So he showed that he had a physical body where he held on to his feet. And then he appeared to his disciples on the road to Emmaus, Luke chapter 24. Okay, just like any other traveler, he talked with them and they did not recognize him or their eyes were closed. They were not able to see that it was Jesus. And when Jesus came and stayed with them, he took bread and he broke it. Luke 24 verse 30, we also see that Jesus eats a piece of fish that is boiled, which clearly shows that he had a physical body and he was not just a spirit being. Okay, in John chapter 20 verse 20, he also shows his hands and his side that was bruised and hurt. In John chapter 20 verse 27, he asked Thomas to touch his nail pierced hands and his side in the shore of the Sea of Tiberias. When the disciples come back from fishing, he makes breakfast for them. Okay, so John chapter 21 and also we see in Luke chapter 24, when Jesus met them on the road to Emmaus and when he comes there and he meets the disciples and he stays with them and he breaks bread and he realized that his eyes were open and he realized that it was Jesus. Then he disappears and then they're talking about him and then he reappears to them and then he says, see my hands and my feet. Luke chapter 24 verse 39, he says, see my hands and my feet handle me for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have. Okay, so we see that Jesus, when he resurrected, he resurrected in a, he had a body. Yes, I think you're going to ask your question. Very silly question. Sorry? It's just a silly question. So I was just thinking to ask, I'm not to ask. No, no, no, no problem. So in resurrected bodies, when we are resurrected, so when we have our glorious body, do we eat? Do we eat? Jesus ate. He had a glorious, he had a glorious transformed body just like us. He ate. Yes, but in heaven, we don't have to eat because there'll be no hunger or there'll be no thirst. But yeah, we can, just like Jesus did. You love me. You love food, huh? Okay, so we see that Jesus had a body, you know, he had a body, physical body. And it's also true that Jesus, you know, was able to appear and disappear. Okay, Luke chapter 24, on the same thing that I said, the road to Emmaus, when he met them and he came, you know, broke bread and they realized it was Jesus. They, their eyes were open, they realized that it was Jesus. He suddenly disappeared, right? And again, he suddenly appears to them and then he says, what he says in Luke chapter four was 39. See my hands, my feet, they're not a spirit being, but I'm flesh. Okay, I have flesh and bones. And also we see, read in John chapter 20, that Jesus suddenly appears to his disciples and they were all very, very startled. John chapter 20 verses 19 and 26. Okay, so when Jesus is telling them, hey, touch me, see me, you know, handle me. I'm not just a, you know, spirit being a flesh and bones. Why was Jesus doing that? Why was Jesus doing that? He's resurrected in a bodily form. Yes, so he was trying to prove to them that he has been resurrected and he has a physical body and he wanted, he knew his disciples were going to record that and that their recording is so important for you and me and for believers to know that we will also have this kind of a physical body, but we are transformed body. Okay, so if Jesus, you know, so when we, when we, I think sister Getru asked this question, you know, so was Jesus spirit being or he had a physical body or, you know, sometimes was he, you know, sometimes he appeared physical, sometimes he appeared non-physical, you know, or was he, he couldn't materialize and dematerialize at the same time. So, you know, what is the whole thing about when he just appears to them in Luke chapter 24 and then he disappears. Now we cannot read too much into that and draw too many conclusions. So what can we basically conclude from Luke chapter 24 is that, you know, that the disciples no longer saw Jesus. Okay, perhaps the spirit of the Lord took him away. Okay, like we see that, you know, spirit of the Lord took away Philip after his encounter or his meeting with the Ethiopian treasurer, the spirit just took him away. Or maybe he was just hidden from their sight like on the mound of transfiguration when Jesus was hit and they couldn't see him and Moses and Elijah or that is in Matthew chapter one. Or also I remember I told you about the incidents in Acts chapter five when the apostles were all put into prison and in the night the angel came and told them, you know, go and preach in the synagogue and they all walk free from the prison and all the guards were there but nobody saw them. And the next morning when the officials sent for the soldiers to bring the apostles from the prison, they saw that the guards were standing there. The door was securely shut to the prison but the apostles were missing. So what can we infer is just that, you know, it's not that the apostles dematerialized and materialized or they became non-physical and physical. No, it's just that maybe the angels just opened the door for them and, you know, they walked through and the guards were not able to see or blind. The angels just blinded the guards' eyes. Now what can we infer from Acts chapter 12 when Peter was in prison and, you know, the angel of the Lord wakes him up in the night and his chains fall off and then, you know, he thinks he's seeing a vision except when he comes and the main gate of the city is open. Then he realized the main gate of the city just opens and then it just shuts by itself. And then he realizes, hey, this is not a dream or vision. I'm seeing this is real. So it's the angel of the Lord that did it. So in Jesus' case, we see that Jesus has had a transformed physical body, okay? And we can merely, what can we say when we read Luke chapter 24 and when we read John chapter 20 is just that the disciples could not see him any longer, okay? So if Jesus wanted his disciples to record that Jesus had a physical body, okay? Then he was, you know, he was just clearly, you know, telling it to them so that they could record it for them. Jesus, you know, had a non-physical body and then he was having this repeated physical appearance which means that he would be guilty of misleading the disciples because why would he be guilty of misleading the disciples? Because he very clearly says in Luke chapter 24 verse 39, look at me. You know, he says, I have flesh and bones, you know, see, touch, handle for yourself. You know, I'm not a spirit being but I have flesh and bones. So Jesus is saying, hey, I have a physical body. So he was not, you know, he was, if he was actually did not have a transformed body, he had a non-physical body and he was appearing physical. That means he was misleading his disciples which is not God's nature, not to lie and not to mislead, okay? So if Jesus wanted to teach his disciples that he was non-physical and that, you know, that he was dematerializing and then he was materializing or becoming physical, then he would have clearly showed it to his disciples. He would have seen, he would have shown them walking through the wall or going out through the wall and coming through the sun. But here we don't see them seeing him go through a wall and all of those things. Just says that he appeared and he disappeared. So he would actually get them to watch him going through the wall and coming from the wall, which he did not, which means that, you know, Jesus was saying, hey, I have a physical body. It's not a non-physical body and a dematerializing body which materializes or becomes physical at times but I am flesh and blood. Okay? So that is what we can conclude from these two things when Jesus disappears and disappears. Of course it goes to MES. It very clearly states that the disciples were, eyes were shut, they were not able to recognize Jesus. But when their eyes were opened, they were able to recognize that it was Jesus. Okay? So I hope there's clarity so far. Yes, no. Yes, now you're able to understand. Yes or no? Very important. Okay, some of you are in Wonderland, La La Land, Alice in Wonderland. Do you have a question? Yes, it's to get true. In heaven, he is in physical body or spiritual body. Sorry? In heaven, he is with sitting at the right hand of his father. Is in physical body or spiritual body? It says right when the same Jesus that you see taken away will come back again. Right? In Acts chapter 1 verse 11 where it says, you know, when Jesus was taken up to heaven, you know, the angel immediately told the disciples, you know, Jesus was taken up into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him going to heaven, which just clearly is Jesus is teaching that his resurrected body was a physical body. Okay, sister. So we need to, you know, basically look from other scripture passages and find out answers. Right? Yeah. Yes, good question. Anyone else? Or we can move on. Okay, just before we move on, if there's no more questions, no more doubts, we look at the ethical significance of the resurrection. Okay. Well, we look at the doctrinal significance. We look at the nature of the resurrection. We will look at the ethical significance or the moral significance of resurrection. Okay. So Paul, when he looks at the resurrection of Jesus Christ, you know, he says it has an application to our lives, not just what we can receive, but also what we need to do. What is our ethical obligation that we have to live our lives in obedience to God. So after his long discussion about the resurrection in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, look at what he says in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 58. What does Paul write in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 58? Can somebody read that please? Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Amen. So Paul is encouraging the church at Corinth. What is he telling them? Be steadfast, immovable, okay? Abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. So when we are raised up with Christ, you know, we are dead. We spiritually identify with Christ in His death, in His burial, in His resurrection. You know, when he says we too will be raised up from the dead, you know. Paul is saying that, hey, this should give us something, some motivation. What is that motivation? That we should be steadfastly continuing in the Lord's work, okay? Which means that even as we enjoy these spiritual benefits, okay? There's something that we need to do. We need to bring other people into the kingdom of God. We need to build them up in the kingdom, principles, the kingdom values. We need to build them up in the Lord. And this is our, you know, eternal significance that it has. This is something that's eternal that we can do, you know. When we are sharing people into the kingdom of God, it has an eternal significance. Because he says that, you know, we shall be raised on that day. And when Christ returns, we shall live with Him forever, okay? So what should be our response to Christ's resurrection? It's not that, hey, you know, I'm happy that I'm resurrected. I'm happy that I have, you know, have eternal life, but we need to also, you know, be steadfast in the Lord's work in the sense that we need to preach and teach and usher in others into the kingdom of God. Because that has eternal significance, okay? The second ethical significance that Christ has resurrection, that Paul encourages us is that, you know, when we think of resurrection, is that we need to focus on our future heavenly rewards as our goal, okay? So, you know, Paul is saying that here on earth, when, you know, you know, in Paul's life, even as he did God's will, he established churches, he preached, he mentored, he raised up many leaders, you know, and he was an apostle. He did mighty works for the Lord, but we see that he goes through severe persecution, he goes through severe trials and problems and difficulties. He was even thrown into prison and eventually he was martyred, okay? So what does he say when he's, you know, he says, when he's even writing to Titus and Timothy, his last letters from this woman in prison, he says, you know, you know, I have fought a good fight, I have, you know, kept the faith and there is for me a reward in heaven. And he's looking up for that hope, that hope that, hey, this life, yes, I'm going to die, I'm going to be martyred, you know, I'm going to be a cruel death, but there is hope in the future. Okay, there is a goal that we can look for, there is a reward. And that is what he's encouraging young Timothy and Titus, who are, he's put in very difficult churches, Timothy and Ephesus and Titus in the island of Crete to oversee the churches. It's very challenging, very difficult, but he's encouraging them and say, don't leave your post, don't leave your assignment, what God has called you because look at the greater reward. Okay, so yes, even as we go through life, there will be struggles, there will be a lot of challenges, you will be persecuted, you can also be martyred, but then we need to focus on our resurrection, okay, our future, the heavenly reward that we will receive and what is our goal, the eternal significance of what we are living for and what we are doing. And that is what Paul says, you know, if you've been raised with Christ, what does he say? Seek the things, what does Paul say? When you're raised with Christ, seek the things that are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God and he says, set your minds on things above and not earthly things because your life is, you know, for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ. Look at Colossians chapter 3 verses 1 to 4, can somebody read that please? Colossians chapter 3 verses 1 to 4, anyone would like to read that? Colossians. Then you can read it. Go ahead, Warren. Okay, 1 to 4. If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth, for you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Amen. So here what is Paul encouraging the church at Colossians? He said, set your minds on things above. That means set your minds on things that are eternal, that are not temporary, that are not earthly because he says that you have died with Christ and your life is hidden with Christ and when Christ appears, you will also appear with him. Which means what? That will be your heavenly reward. Okay, you belong to him, belong to in your part of his kingdom, kingdom, citizens, sons and daughters and that is your reward. That you will also appear with him in glory and you will live with him in glory. Okay. So that is the second ethical significance of Christ's resurrection. The third ethical application of Christ's resurrection is what you have already looked at what Paul writes in Romans chapter 6. So read, one of you can read Romans chapter 6 verse 11, please. Where Paul is talking, the third ethical significance is that we need to stop yielding to sin or giving our lives over to sin. Romans chapter 6 verse 11. So you also must consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Amen. So it says that you also must be dead to Christ and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Deepu, is your name Deepu or do you have another name? Deepu Mascarinus. Deepu Mascarinus. Okay. Deepu, we have a lovely voice. Very soothing, very calm, nice voice. Yes. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. Okay. So it says, you know, you consider yourself dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Okay. So we looked at this verse, we studied this verse and we said, you know, the virtue of Christ's resurrection by his resurrection power that is in us, we can overcome sin and we need not yield to sin. And then he goes on to say immediately in Romans chapter 6 verse 12 to 13. Can somebody read that please? Romans 12 and 13. Let not sin, therefore, regime in your mortal body to make you obey its passions. Yes. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from dead to life and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. Amen. So here he says in Romans chapter 6 verse 12 to 13. Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal bodies and he says, do not yield your members of your body to sin. The verse means the parts of your bodies, your faculties, do not yield them to sin. So the fact that we spiritually identify with Christ's resurrection, we are a new creature in Christ. We have this new resurrection and because we are a new creature in Christ, we have this new resurrection power in us. We have the life and nature of God in us and this new resurrection power gives us, the power gives us the authority to overcome the dominion of sin in our lives and so forth is saying, hey, do not yield to sin anymore. Because not that, hey, I can't overcome temptation, I can't overcome this weakness, I can't overcome that. I have been born with this, I've been living with this but we don't have those excuses because Paul says the power of sin is broken over our bodies and Christ's resurrection power in us gives us the power to not yield to sin and not let sin reign in our mortal bodies. That is the third ethical application that we must stop yielding to sin because of our new identity because that we have been raised with Christ. We are also resurrected with Christ. So that is lesson 11 I don't know if any of you have been taking notes or any of these points but very interesting about to learn so many new facts and truths about the resurrection it has such a wide things that we could learn about and really know the truths what Christ's resurrection has accomplished for us and what it does for us. Any questions? Anyone likes to ask any questions? You have any doubts? Anything you like to say? Anything that you don't agree with? You also say that? Why are all of you so quiet? Are you bored of starting chapter 11? I hope you're not bored. I'm quite interested in excited to teach. No sister, we're just fascinated. Thank you, Warren. Okay, no questions, no doubts. Then we move on to chapter 12 which is our second last chapter his promised return. Okay, now it's basically few scripture passages in this chapter because as you look at the last line in this chapter it says we will cover in detail his return for the church and his rule on the earth in the course on the end times. So I know you'll have a lot of questions, hundreds of questions at the end times but you can hold your horse till you come to the whole course on the end times. I think you'll do that in second year in the second semester. You'll have a detailed study but we will just look at a few scripture references for this lesson and then I'm not going to run you through the entire details of it. You can wait till we study it. Okay, so chapter 12 his promised return. The same Jesus will return again Amen. Okay, so he'll not be someone with some other kind of body, some other kind of looks the same Jesus will return again. Let's read Acts chapter 1 verses 9 and 11 please. Now when he had spoken these things while they watched he was taken up and the cloud received him out of their sight and while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up behold two men stood by them in white apparel who also said men of Galilee why do you stand gazing up into heaven the same Jesus was taken up from you into heaven will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven. Yes, so he'll come in the like manner just like you saw him go he will come back so Jesus will return for his church and that is called the rapture. Okay, the rapture will take place before the seven year tribulations of all those who believe in Jesus. Okay, we'll be caught up here and we will be with him. Okay, and then we'll come back for the thousand year millennium rule. Okay, so the thousand year millennium rule some of you will be prime ministers chief ministers great officials big officials depending on how faithful sincere you have been in how you have stewarded what God has given to you here and now. Okay, so even as you're living your life now sometimes you think you know hey I'm in this workplace and I'm living a morally ethically a right life and doing what God wants me to do and because of that I'm not getting any promotion I'm not getting any pay hike I'm not you know climbing up the ladder of success and you know because I'm not doing things that are wrong you know my bosses are kind of pushing me out I'm losing jobs but you know and you want to give up you know and you want to you think you know being morally ethically living a righteous life is of no use but you know there is a future to reform okay that is a hope of resurrection you know ethical significance that we live resurrected lives okay so you're also even if you're in the ministry you're living ethical morally right life you know you just go to some place where God has called you to do this nobody knows about you nobody you know in the Bible college here we have all these great missionaries who serve all pictures and wall hangings we have and nobody knows about you you're insignificant but laboring hard for the Lord working hard and then you just die you know but there is a great reward for you you need to be faithful because we serve a God who is faithful who will reward us and you know will bless the work of our hands of course but yes in the in the million who a thousand year millenium rain you know you will receive your reports and also eternally as well John chapter 14 verse 1 to 3 can somebody read that please can I read sister yes please sister get rude let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me in my father's house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am there you may be also Amen so here you know Jesus is going to come back take us to be with him where he is he's preparing a place for us Ephesians 527 can somebody read that please that he might present her to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing but that she should be holy and without blemish Amen so he's going to present us as a glorious church without spot blemish as holy unto the Lord 1st Thessalonians 4 13 to 18 somebody else read 1st Thessalonians 4 13 to 18 please but I do not want you to be ignorant brethren concerning those who have fallen asleep lest your sorrows as others who have no hope for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus for this we say to you by the word of the Lord that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first then he who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord therefore comfort one another with these words events of Paul is writing what is going to happen the Holy Spirit is inspiring Paul is writing what is going to happen in the last days in the end time when we raptured and then after this the rapture will be the end of the tribulation the 7 year tribulation period and the end of the tribulation we see that Jesus will come establishes kingdom here on earth he will rule and reign for a thousand years ok that is in Revelation chapter 20 verse 1 to 4 so get somebody to read that please then I saw an angel coming down from heaven having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand he said hold of the dragon elate hold of the dragon that serpent of old who is the devil and Satan bowed him for a thousand years and he cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal on him so that he should receive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished but after these things he must be released for a little while and I saw thrones and they sat on them and judgment was committed to them then I saw the souls of those who had been the witnesses to Jesus and for the word of God who had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years ok so here it is talking about the millenium rule you know when during the millenium rule Satan would be thrown into the bottomless pit and then he would be released and then there would be the final judgment ok but this is just very briefly you also have a chapter in doctrinal foundations ok but also the end times course where you will study in detail any questions you have sure you have lots of questions on this but anything this does rapture and the second coming are two different instances rapture is a lifting of the church and the second coming is after the tribulation so basically there is the rapture then you have the first half of the tribulation then you will have the second half of the tribulation and there are various you know what happens in the first half of the tribulation everything you can read in Revelation chapter 6 Revelation chapter 13 was 11 even even in Revelation chapter 11 ok and then you will have the second half of the tribulation again that you can read in Revelation chapter 6 Revelation chapter 13 and then we will you know the opening of the seven seals and the seven trumpet judgments you know the seven bowls of plagues and the Antichrist plans a war against God and then you know the preparations for the battle of the amygadon and then the seven bowls that you read in Revelation chapter 16 and then there will be the battle of the amygadon and the second coming of Jesus ok so that is the second coming of Jesus when the battle of amygadon which is described in Revelation chapter 19 we also read about it in Ezekiel chapter 38 the battle will start when Christ descends from heaven with his angels and with the believers and the armies of the world you know with the human weapons and there will be no match for God and all will be thoroughly defeated and killed ok and then we see that the Antichrist the false prophet who also is there during the tribulation period you know will be thrown into the fury lake of burning sulfur but Satan on the other hand will be locked up in the abyss for a thousand years and then he will be released after the thousand year period ok and all the unbelievers who participated in the battle of the amygadon will be killed and be sent to hell ok so yes that is the second coming so rapture and then second coming of Jesus because when he comes the rapture will be only in the air they can see Jesus but we will all be caught up with him it will come the second time for the battle of the amygadon and then the thousand year mayhem ok that helps Lucy yes sister thank you any other questions anyone else has ok so Sanjay's question is considering the times we are living in with global conflict increasing how far do you think we are from the rapture how far do you think you are from the rapture ok so one student did this ok I really don't know because Jesus himself says you don't know the day or the hour ok but if you look at the science study the science that is there yes we are close there is still a lot of historical things that are to be take to take place the building of the temple and desecrating of the temple and all of those things that will happen and then we know as those signs appear we know ok we are closer we are closer we are closer but yes God is patient is long suffering and there are many who do not know the truth who do not know the gospel so I think even as we think that the rapture is soon we have this ethical significance that we need to share the gospel and you know that many of them are raised up in Christ that should be our goal now ok that hey I am going to be caught up in the rapture what about my loved ones what about my neighbors what about the people that I you know ministering to teaching to working along with right God is concerned about them so we need to be concerned about that this week that helps Anjai anyone else any questions ok if not we will end class and then we look at the last chapter next Tuesday we don't have class this Friday because it's good Friday and then then you know you'll meet only on Tuesday so happy Resurrection Sunday to all of you and even as you celebrate and you all celebrate what Christ has done on the cross and his Resurrection I hope all that he studied will come back to mind will bear more significance and deeper significance and deeper reference and deeper you know obligation as well to what God has done and what we need to do ok thank you everyone have a it's Tuesday today right not best weekend yeah ok have a good week ahead thank you everyone thank you
