“THE END: How Close Are We?” Part 1 - Pastor Raymond Woodward

just a couple of days before his crucifixion Jesus sat down with his disciples on the Mount of Olives overlooking the beautiful city of Jerusalem there with his disciples he took the time to answer a very important question they had for him their question was the end how close are we jesus said as he sat on that mount and the disciples came to him and said tell us when shall these things be what shall be the sign of thy coming and the sign of the end of the world and Jesus began to speak to them and in his answer he pinpointed a particular generation of people who would witness a rapid series of astounding events and those events would culminate in his second coming those events those signs those signals are recorded in Matthew 24 many of them between verses 4 and 13 Jesus prophesized that there will be false prophets and religious leaders who will deceive hundreds and thousands and even millions of people he prophesized that there will be war and the threat of war he prophesized that there will be severe racial tension when he says nation shall rise against nation that's ethnos shall rise against ethnos and if we've ever lived in an era when we see ethnic tension it would be today he said there will be increasing rates of famine and disease and earthquakes and they will happen in many places even unexpected places but skeptics say those things have always happened throughout human history so how can those things be the sign of the end times and I would answer that question by saying this that signs are like labor pains as the time of birth gets closer for that mother her pains get more and more frequent and her pains get more and more intense and the signs of the times that Jesus talked about they're exactly like labor pains there have always been all of these things Wars false prophets there have always been different national natural disasters earthquakes and famines and disease there's always been racial tension of some kind or another but the signs of the times are like a woman in labor as her time of delivery gets closer you can make sure that those signs will be more frequent and they will get more intense Paul wrote about this in Romans he said for we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now the earth is literally convulsing we see it as natural disasters we see it as all kinds of natural phenomenon but jesus said and Paul repeats he said really what it is is the creation is groaning because it knows that it's deliverance is coming near and then Paul adds it's not just the creation that's groaning but we ourselves also which have the firstfruits of the Spirit even the Christians even the servants of God even the Apostolic Church is groaning within ourselves because we know we're not at the end of everything here the end of our life is not retirement and then a funeral the end of our existence is a life in heaven with Jesus Christ so we're groaning we're waiting for the adoption to wit the redemption of our body I've got the Holy Ghost I have eternal life in me what I don't have is a redeemed body what you don't have is a redeemed body you're getting older some of us are getting slower some of us have increasing pain and some of us have increasing disability but there's coming a day when at one moment in the twinkling of an eye everything changes and you will be forever in the image of Jesus not only spiritually but physically that's what we're groaning for it's like a travail that we're waiting we know this isn't the end the signs have always happened that's true but if you just take a look you'll notice that the signs have been increasing this is a graph of earthquakes for just one example from 1900 through to basically around our time within a year or two and if you notice the earthquakes they increase over time the frequency and the intensity increase that's just one sign that Jesus mentioned it's particularly striking if you don't look at every year but instead you average out over a decade and if you start with the decades from 1900 till nine till now you really really see the difference and we'll talk about this in a minute but I did notice looking at that little chart that ever since 1948 earthquakes have gone off the chart and they're increasing over and over again jesus said that in the last days believers would be hated persecuted even killed for their faith he said that offense and betrayal would cause many to lose their faith you say that doesn't happen in our world I beg to differ Isis puts Christians to death by crucifixion and by beheading just like they did in Bible times and they're not the only regime to do it you say I don't like that picture on the screen pastor that's the cleanest most sanitized picture I could find of one of those horrible executions that is happening we are seeing an increase in all of the signs Jesus talked about and Jesus said because there would be such open iniquity the love of many would wax cold they backslide sitting in church pews they backslide singing gospel songs they backslide talking about Jesus that's the spiritual climate that we live in and then Jesus said only those who endure to the end will be saved you can look at that in your Bible Matthew 24 third team and could I dare say it and could we dare receive it tonight with regard to your faith it's not most important that you're enjoying your faith if you go to most churches today all you'll hear is you can enjoy your faith you need to become a Christian because then you can really enjoy life you can enjoy your faith Jesus didn't talk about enjoying your faith Jesus said the most important thing is you endure this world and you endure persecution and you endure whatever comes against you so you can be saved with regard to the disciples question how close are we Jesus told them specifically Matthew 24:36 of that day and hour knoweth no man so to set dates in prophetic studies is useless worthless and pointless jesus said no man knows the day nor the hour and then he made another important point when he said this in verse 37 but as the days of Noah were so also shall be the coming of the Son of man don't miss what Jesus said here's what he said the day that I return will be just another normal ordinary day he said but as the days of Noah were so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be for as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark and they didn't even realize it until the flood came and took them all away so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be jesus said I will return when the signs of the times are happening more frequently and with more intensity than ever before and nobody will even notice it because they're too busy they're too happy they're too preoccupied they're too successful they're too content they're too distracted and they're too world and he was addressing those comments to disciples according to a recent study by LifeWay research only one-third of Protestant pastors even believe in the rapture anymore I never thought I'd live to see that day but it's here even fewer pastors in non Pradas ten denominations believe in the rapture anymore but Jesus talked about the rapture and the Apostles preached about the rapture and the Bible still teaches us that there's going to be a rapture and the Apostolic Church still believes that we're going to go in the rapture just because the world isn't expecting it just because the church has declared we don't believe in it that doesn't mean it's not going to happen if Jesus said it it will happen if the Bible teaches it it will happen and that's why Jesus ends what we call his Olivet discourse he ends with this plea therefore be ye also ready for in such an hour as you think not that's exactly when the Son of Man is going to come one out of every thirty verses in the New Testament one out of thirty mentions the subject of the end times and Jesus returned to earth 1 out of 30 if you were driving along a long road in the nation and you saw signs along the road and there was a sign the same sign every 30 miles and you just keep seeing it over and over again you would pretty soon determine that must be an important message somebody wants me to know well every 30 verses in the New Testament in your Bible the Bible is telling us something about this jesus is coming Jesus will return the rapture is going to happen and the church is going to be out of here Hebrews chapter 9 the writer says so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation not to them that talk about it not to them that preach about him but to those who are living their life looking for him to return those are the ones he's coming back for so pastor doesn't have any kind of stealth attack here tonight I don't have a message that's gonna sneak up on you in 30 minutes it's right out of the gate no matter what it costs you personally you must be ready for the rapture there is nothing more important for you to think about or prepare for or plan for or to expend effort on it is life's most important appointment you cannot miss the rapture what a fool you would be just sit in a Pentecostal church for months and maybe years and then not be ready to go in the rapture when the rapture is the point it's why we build buildings it's why we sing songs it's why we preach sermons it's why we teach Bible studies it's why we pray and worship and live holy and serve God it's the rapture it's everything I wish you lift up something to the Lord intercession prayer worship praise whatever your God but God wants to talk to us tonight there's no surprise in the message well I don't think we have a lot of time and if this thing's wind it up we better be ready [Applause] while Jesus did not tell his disciples the day and the hour of the rapture he did leave them with some important clues as to the season it would happen in in Scripture the nation of Israel is symbolized by the fig tree and that's why Jesus told them a parable of a fig tree in Matthew 24 when he's talking about the end times he's saying to them keep an eye on Israel because Israel is God's prophetic timepiece here's the passage now learn a parable of the fig tree when his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves you know that summer is not you can watch the tree and as you watch what the tree does you'll know what time it is you won't know the day but you will know the season so likewise gee when you see all these things what are you talking about Jesus I just gave my disciples all kinds of signs when you shall see all these things know that it is near even at the doors verily I say unto you this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled heaven and earth shall pass away but my words they don't pass away you can count on my words Jesus declared that the generation which saw the nation of Israel putting forth her leaves would be the same generation this generation one generation the same generation it would be the same generation that would witness all these accelerating intensifying signs of his coming that could not have happened in the first century because Jerusalem itself was destroyed in AD 70 and the Jews became a people without a country for nearly 1,900 years so that couldn't have happened in the first century that's not the generation he was talking about only since 1948 have the Jewish people become a nation once again so it is the generation who saw Israel put forth her leaves it's the generation that saw the fig tree bud again it's the generation that saw Israel become a nation in 1948 that is going to witness the coming of Jesus if I've got anything figured out about prophecy and so if you were alive in 1948 that is a thinning group of people in our church and in Christendom but let me tell you something I believe that the generation that was alive when Israel became a nation some of them are going to be alive I don't know the day I don't know the hour I can't tell you the week or the month I can't even pin it down to a specific year but I believe that there will be people that were alive when Israel became a nation that will be alive to hear the trumpet sound and be caught up with the rest of us in the rapture those that are alive and remain I can't figure that verse out in the other way well pastor Raymond what does that have to do with us how long is a generation in the Bible most scholars believe it is seventy years that's due to various calculations and a whole bunch of different scripture references but it's mostly because of verses like this Psalm 90 verse 10 the days of our years are threescore years and ten a score is 20 threescore is sixty threescore and ten is seventy and so that's the life span God said would be the average life span that was given to man so we call that a generation from the birth of one man to his death and if by reason of strength you get 80 years then you're if there's still strength labor and sorrow you've got enough strength to live but you're still gonna have labor and sorrow in other words you still have the human condition of aging and growing weaker for it is soon cut off and we fly away threescore years and ten seventy years that's a biblical generation I believe I'm not a prophecy scholar I don't pretend to be a prophecy preacher but I would be shirking my duty as an apostolic pastor to come to this pulpit weekend week out month in month out year in year out and never tell this church that Jesus is coming and this thing's going to wind up and sooner rather than later it's not going to be when your great grandkids are roaming the planet it's gonna be probably before some of us have our funeral and we're buried in the dirt probably some of us in this room are gonna live to hear the trumpet sound and Jesus is going to return with a shout now here's my point for tonight we'll talk about more in the coming weeks Israel became a nation the fig tree butted on May 14th 1948 as Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 66 verse 8 that nation was literally born in one day who had heard such a thing who has seen such things shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day or shall a nation be born at once for as soon as sian travailed she brought forth her children almost without commentary by the greater Christian community in our nation Israel marked her 70th birthday on Monday May 14th 2018 the generation that saw her birth is now beginning to pass away if a generation is indeed seventy years and if the signs Jesus talked about are indeed happening all around us then his coming cannot be very far away I don't wish to go back in history very much I have a wonderful blessed life a beautiful family an incredible church I have great friends God has been good to me I don't wish to go back in time very much but I wish the church could go back in time sometimes and capture the passion and almost the holy fear that we had about the rapture and the coming of the Lord when I was a kid growing up I received the Holy Ghost in nineteen seven before it didn't take hardly any kind of a sermon to get us to the altar to pray if somebody talked about the coming of the Lord but Jesus said it's not going to be in times like that that I return when everybody's conscious of it it's not going to be a time when everybody's all up in arms about it it's going to be in an hour when you think not it's going to be a day like every other day it's going to be days like it was before the flood in Noah's generation people just going about their business planning for a wedding buying a house mowing their lawn it's going to be people buying a new business it's going to be people planning for retirement nothing wrong with any of it but it's just going to be normal life and then out of the blue in the twinkling of an eye I'm going to intervene in human history one more time and catch my church out of there and if you're not ready you were gonna miss the only thing that's worth living for another momentous event happened on Monday as the United States opened her embassy in Jerusalem this we did hear about in a limited fashion in the media not a very popular fashion they didn't say very much Pleasant or popular or nice about it but they did begrudgingly tell us about it the United States opened her embassy in the city of Jerusalem what you would never see in the media in our country what you would never know from any of the news here is that Jerusalem is a pandemonium of celebration there are banners everywhere there are flowers there are celebrations there's singing and dancing they are overjoyed that finally somebody has recognized the true capital of the nation of Israel despite incredible opposition from the United Nations the same nation that first recognized Israel 70 years ago they declared themselves a nation and just a few hours later President Truman declared that they would recognize Israel as a nation and the same nation that was first to recognize them 70 years ago became the first nation to recognize Israel's capital this week the temple Institute in Jerusalem has commemorated this event with a very special coin pastor being a pastor and being a little bit OCD I've already bought one of these it isn't here yet or I'd show you but this coin compares Donald Trump with King Cyrus of Persia because Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple after 70 years in Babylon and president Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem after 70 years and so they've done this beautiful coin it's available in silver and gold and and these are the front and back to fulfill 70 years and the scripture and he charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem on the back there are doves flying and it's called Israel coming home like doves to their nest is that big deal yeah I thought you'd say that but if I could have given that to some of my elder pioneer preachers that I knew and passed them that point in the 1970s they had a revival that would have blown your mind because they would have preached on the coming of the Lord till the altars were filled and every eye was filled with tears let's see we've got to the generation that Jesus talked about where more signs are happening than ever before they're happening with more intensity than ever before and nobody is even noticing it [Applause] God's prophetic timepiece Israel is ticking the end times are upon us the last days are upon us Jesus is coming the rapture will happen and you've got to be ready what a criminal act it would be to have a pastor that never talks about eternal things and only tells you how to manage your money and handle your kids and build up like what a tragedy and a travesty that would be to waste your time having a nice life here for a few decades and then miss the point of the Christian Church the point is Jesus is coming and heaven is for eternity I'm grateful to TP Anna a Christian Network for their coverage of this incredible event on their online stations this week it's just been wonderful and and so I've collected this I'm not by any means anybody that can edit anything professionally but I wanted to at least try to take you there because we missed so much of this and so in the next few moments you will see David Friedman the US ambassador to Israel this is the ceremony from Monday you'll hear a video address from the US president you will hear from the wonderful Israeli president prime minister rather Benjamin Netanyahu and finally you will hear a prayer and I love this prayer I got almost crying and vibrating in my chair today listening to this prayer John Hagee a u.s. minister who is the head of a wonderful ministry called Christians United for Israel and you will hear that prayer oh my goodness if you don't feel something during that prayer I just don't know I I just don't know but I want to try to take you there because what happened on Monday happened while you were mowing your lawn and going to work and raising your children what happened on Monday happened while you were vacuuming your floor and washing your dishes what happened on Monday is a sign of the end times and I know we're living in a crippled Christian world I read one article of some empty-headed know-nothing pastor who said yeah the evangelicals thank God they don't believe this much anymore but there's still a few people that that think this is is more about prophecy than politics and in a very cynical skeptical fashion she dismissed all of us she won't be dismissing all of us when the rapture happens this is not just politics this is prophecy being unfolded but with every other sign there like this sign they happen while normal life's unfolding and we're not conscious of what is going on prophecy was fulfilled on Israel's 70th birthday Monday as their eternal capital was recognized hmm would you lift up your hands and just prepare your heart it's gonna be different for the next ten minutes or so but would you just prepare your heart to be talked to by Jesus his spirit is in here and then pastor will come back and wind up with some scriptures we're not going to be a long time tonight but God is going to speak very definitely and very directly tonight so would you lift up your hands and then somehow it with whatever you got just get your voice in the air and pray a little bit Jesus wants to talk to you not just us he wants to talk to you if you're watching online he doesn't want to just talk to the people in this room he wants to talk to you I love you Jesus and I ask that your spirit would just move and and and and touch and talk and and convict right now in Jesus name I pray it in Jesus name I pray it in Jesus name I pray it not since the recognition of Israel in 1948 by President Harry Truman has our government conducted such sweeping and significant actions in relation to the Middle East in the Bible God says he will bless those who bless Israel join us as we celebrate the historic move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to the eternal capital of Israel the city of Jerusalem English guests and their friends Tammy and I welcome you to the opening and dedication of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem Israel on this exact day 70 years ago at almost this exact time David ben-gurion declared Israel's independence just 11 minutes later President Harry Truman caused the United States to be the very first nation to recognize the reborn State of Israel he later regretted that he waited so long 70 years since that memorable event almost to the minute the United States finally takes the next step a step awaited voted upon litigated and prayed for for all these years today we opened the United States Embassy in Jerusalem Israel exactly 70 years ago the United States under President Harry Truman became the first nation to recognize the State of Israel today we officially opened the United States Embassy in Jerusalem congratulations it's been a long time coming almost immediately after declaring statehood in 1948 Israel designated the city of Jerusalem as its capital the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times so important today Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government it is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli Supreme Court and Israel's prime minister and president Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital yet for many years we fail to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that Israel's capital is Jerusalem on December 6 2017 at my direction the United States finally an affair recognized jerusalem as the true capital of israel today we follow through on this recognition and open our embassy in the historic and sacred land of jerusalem and we're opening it many many years ahead of schedule as I said in December our greatest hope is for peace the United States remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement and we continue to support the status quo at Jerusalem's holy sites including at the Temple Mount also known as Haram al-sharif this city and its entire nation is a testament to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people the United States will always be a great friend of Israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace we wish ambassador Freedman good luck as he takes up his office in this beautiful Jerusalem Embassy and we extend a hand in friendship to Israel the Palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace may God bless this embassy may God bless all who serve there and may God bless the United States of America thank you on behalf of the 45th President of the United States of America we welcome you officially and for the first time to the Embassy of the United States here in Jerusalem the capital of Israel thank you dear friends what a glorious day remember this moment this is history President Trump by recognizing history you have made history in jerusalem in jerusalem abram passed the greatest test of faith and the right to be the father of our nation in jerusalem king david established our capital 3,000 years ago in jerusalem king solomon built our temple which stood for many centuries in jerusalem Jewish exile from Babylon rebuilt the temple which stood for many more centuries in Jerusalem the Maccabees rededicated that temple and restored Jewish sovereignty in this land and it was here in Jerusalem some 2,000 years later that the soldiers of Israel spoke three immortal words how a bite be a den the Temple Mount is in our hands words that lifted the spirit of the entire nation we are in Jerusalem and we are here to stay the Prophet Zechariah declared over 2,500 years ago Kamala Doudna shaft DLC on vishanti bataki who shall I'm the new Clio shall I'm ill her amid so said the Lord I will return to Zion and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth

Jacob the God who calls the Stars by name and major space with a span of his hand the God who is the king of the universe we gather here today to thank you for the joy of living and seeing this glorious and historic day we thank you for the State of Israel the lone torch of freedom in the Middle East who lives and prospers because of your everlasting love for the Jewish people it was you O Lord who gathered the exiles from the nations and brought them home again it was you who made statehood possible it was you that gave a miraculous victory in 1967 when Jerusalem was reopened to worshipers of all faiths Jerusalem is the city of God Jerusalem is the heartbeat of Israel Jerusalem is where Abraham placed his son on the altar of the Temple Mount and became the father of many nations Jerusalem is where Jeremiah and Isaiah penned principles of righteousness that became the moral foundations of Western civilization Jerusalem is where Messiah will come and establish a kingdom that will never end we thank you O Lord for President Donald Trump's courage in acknowledging to the world a truth established 3,000 years ago that Jerusalem is and always shall be the eternal capital of the Jewish people and because of that courage of our president we gather here today to consecrate the ground upon which the United States Embassy will stand reminding the dictators of the world that America and Israel offer every United we thank you for our ambassador David Friedman and pray your anointing upon him as he opens the doors of the US Embassy to receive the nations of the world that the word go forth from Jerusalem today that Israel lives shout it from the housetops that Israel lives that every Islamic terrorist hear this message Israel lives let it be heard in the halls of the United Nations Israel lives let it echo down the marble halls of the presidential palace in Iran Israel lives let it be known to all men that Israel lives because he that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps as King David prayed 3,000 years ago we pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and all its inhabitants let the name of the Lord be glorified today for the defender of Israel today tomorrow and forever is here can we all shout Alleluia amen [Applause] I wish you would actually lift up your voice and shout hallelujah prophecy was unfurled and unfolded this week in our world I thank God for it I thank you Jesus for it what unprecedented times we're living in I thank you God for what we've witnessed this I worship you Jesus some of you elders never thought you'd live to see that but we have lived to see it some of our preachers died they went into the grave and on to heaven and they preached about days like happened this week but they never got to see it but we are a blessed people we are the people upon whom the ends of the world are come and Jesus is returning very very soon he said he would return when the signs of the times were happening more frequently and with more intensity than ever before but he said that most people wouldn't even notice it because they were too busy and too happy too preoccupied and successful to content and distracted far too worldly he addressed those comments to disciples like you and me and in the very next chapter Matthew 25 Jesus told a parable about 10 virgins it's a stern warning for every single one of us to simply be ready in Jesus parable all 10 of the prospective brides were virgins they all expected the bridegroom to come at some point but all of them fell asleep while they were waiting and even worse only five had oil in their lamps there is no other reason for Jesus to tell this parable there is no other reason for Jesus to say while the bridegroom tarried his coming they all slumbered and slept and at midnight when they didn't expect it there was a cry made behold the bridegroom cometh go ye out to meet him 100% were asleep at that moment and only 50% were ready to even wake up and go with the bridegroom only five had oil in their lamps there is no other reason for Jesus to tell that parable other than to warn us within an inch of our lives that it is possible to believe you are ready for the rapture and in reality not be ready at all it is a treacherous thing to live in the end times this close to the coming of the Lord when the awareness is so low even in the church and the stakes have never been so high sim is destroying our world and apostasy is attacking church after church many are falling away from the faith many more are discarding their dedication to God's laws it is the era of casual uncommitted Christianity that we live in it is the season of astonishing astounding signs that nobody even notices anymore it's the time just before the end how close are we past very close extremely close frightening ly close Paul wrote but of the times and the seasons brethren you have no need that I write unto you yourselves know perfectly the day of the Lord is coming like a thief in the night for when they shall say peace and safety all's good all's wonderful it's then that sudden destruction will come upon them as travail upon a woman with child and they will not escape and then he makes this plea but you brethren you're not in darkness why would you let that day overtake you like a thief you all are the children of light and you're children of the day we're not of the night we're not of that darkness so let's not go to sleep like everybody else but let's wake up and let's watch and let's be sober and let's be ready say pastor this is kind of an intense kind of negative message not at all because while many bad things are happening in prophecy apostasy everywhere many good things are happening as well because the same Bible that prophesies an endtime falling away prophesies a great and time in gathering into the kingdom of God and it shall come to pass in the last days saith god I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh yea we're living in the day of the end but we're living in the day of the greatest revival to ever hit this planet so I'm not the least bit discouraged but I am here to sound a warning let's not talk about it think about it teach about it preach about it and then miss it for God's sake and heaven sake and your sake and our sake let's not miss the entire point of being a Christian stand with me Luke chapter 21 Jesus said there shall be signs in the Sun and the moon in the stars on the earth there will be distress of nations they'll be perplexity the sea and the waves will be roaring and men's hearts will fail them for fear just by looking after those things that are coming on the earth for the powers of heaven they shall be shaken and then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory and when these things begin to come to pass don't have a panic attack don't run into hiding don't backslide don't get depressed and discouraged when you see the signs of the times accelerating and intensifying then look up and lift up your heads and get ready for your Redemption draweth nigh that means whatever disease you might have in your body in just a few days or we sir months when Jesus comes you could die with the disease but if you're ready for heaven you're gonna live forever but before you even get to your next doctor's appointment Jesus could come before you have to pay the next bill Jesus could come before you have that next thing with your banker or your lawyer Jesus could come and the trials you walk through they'll seem as nothing when Jesus returns I wish you to lift up everything you got heart and hands voice and words spirit and soul I wish it lived up worship and praise and prayer and intercession and up about hey please keep praying the sermons over the message isn't over I hope the message wants home with us the message is just this are you living this day getting ready for that day that's the only message that matters the rapture is your only appointment that matters that's all that matters so if you're not ready there's no better time than tonight to make sure you're ready there's no better time than tonight to pray back through to make that consecration to repent of those besetting hidden sins there's no better time because there's only one thing that matters and it's this Jesus is coming and he's coming soon altars are open I hope this whole great church will land in the altar tonight even if it's not your personality or it's not your preference I hope this whole incredible church will land in this altar tonight because Jesus is coming and we've got to be ready why would be these such fools to go to church for years and then miss it why would we serve God for years and then miss the whole point Jesus is coming and it's getting close [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
