End Time Events before the Second Coming Of Christ | Mark Finley

[Music] welcome back this is the final session in our series titled three cosmic messages earth's final conflict this entire series has been based on the book of revelation and specifically revelation chapter 14 verses 6 to 12. these three messages are eternal they're urgent and they are universal they're messages that god has given to prepare a people for his soon return each of these messages focuses on the second coming of christ each message rings with hope in this presentation we'll be discussing god's final move earth a world ablaze with the glory of god it is time to lift up the trumpet jesus is coming again during this presentation i'd like you to invite you to bow your heads to pray and as we pray let us have our hearts ring with the hope of christ's soon return father in heaven we thank you that jesus is coming again we thank you for three cosmic messages three messages of eternal hope that in spite of what we see around us with famine and earthquake with pestilences with these strange viruses with the threat of nuclear war with economic disaster pending with the chaos and calamity in society and among nations no matter whatever we see around us and even the challenges in our own personal life and our families our health we have the hope of the coming of christ and so gear and to us that deeper hope that broader hope that brighter hope that greater hope as we study together in this presentation in christ's name amen one day soon the earth will be ablaze with the glory of god that is the message of the book of revelation one of the more significant events in the first world war was the sinking of the rms lusitania by german submarines that sinking brought into the war the united states and many of the other allied nations the lusitania was sunk on friday may 7 1915. it was a tragic event the vessel went down 11 miles off kinsale ireland it killed as this boat was torpedoed and sunk there were 1198 people killed and not in 761 survivors there's a fascinating story that comes out of the sinking of the lusitania in fact when the lusitania was was sunk many pamphlets were published like take up the sword of justice enlist in the fight of the war it brought many soldiers to enlist many enlistees into that war joseph duveen was an art dealer and he had bought a ticket for one of his young art experts an expert in pottery to travel on the lusitania to europe to look at and examine some very exotic very rare pieces of pottery when joseph duveen saw the warnings regarding the war he said to this young protester this young pottery expert i don't think you should go there we've had warnings this is a photograph of the actual warning that the germans put out notice travelers intending to embark on the atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between germany and our allies in great britain and her allies that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the british isles that in accordance with formal notice given by the imperial german government vessels flying the flag of great britain or if any of our allies are liable to destruction the german embassy issued a warning that the ocean liner might be torpedoed and destroyed so duvine said to this young art expert i don't think you should go i i i don't want to risk your life and the young man said look sir when i read what was happening in the atlantic i began to harden myself at first i would sit in a tub of ice cold water for 30 minutes but this morning i sat in that ice cold tub for two hours sir don't think i would leave preparation of such an important event to the last minute i am prepared i will go the young man went the lusitania was torpedoes and amazingly enough this young man survived in the chilly freezing waters for five hours and he was rescued he did not leave preparation until the last minute the book of revelation urges us the book of revelation invites us not to leave preparation for the second coming of christ at the last minute that's what the message of the three angels is all about that's the purpose of these three cosmic messages to prepare people for the coming of jesus these are messages of hope their message is of encouragement their messages that have been given to us by a god of enormous love who wants us prepared the apostle paul echoes the words of these end time messages that are heaven's last appeal to a dying planet we ignore paul's words and we ignore these messages at our own peril the apostle paul says in first thessalonians chapter 5 verse 4 and then verse 6 but you brethren and sisters are not in darkness so that this day should overtake you as a thief that's the day of the second coming of christ you're all sons of the light and sons of the day we are not of the night or of the darkness therefore let us not sleep as others do but let us watch and be sober this is a time to be fully aware of what's taking place in earth's history this is a time living at the heartbeat of eternity the knife edge of eternity this is a time to know that there's nothing between us and christ that our hearts are fully totally absolutely committed to him this is a time to understand the prophecies of this last prophetic book of the bible revelation this is a time to be sure that everything in our life not in harmony with christ is surrendered to him in the book testimonies volume 8 ellen white writes with divine prophetic insight on pages 27-28 the end is very near we who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise did paul in the book of thessalonians say that that christ was coming as a thief quickly rapidly unexpectedly for the world he did and here this statement points out that there will be to the world's inhabitants an overwhelming surprise but we need not be surprised we need not be caught unaware as one early adventist writer wrote preparing for the second coming he said the only way to be ready is to get ready and to stay ready you see putting off the second coming of christ till tomorrow putting off preparation for his coming until another time means that we often will put it off until it's too late these three cosmic messages speak to our hearts they speak to our hearts to be ready today every generation from the first coming of christ when jesus said let not your heart be troubled you believe in god believe also in me in my father's house or many mansions if it were not so i told you i go to prepare a place for you and if i go i will come again every generation for the last 2 000 years has heard those words echo in their ears and it's god's intent that every generation live in preparation for his coming live ready for his coming but in this generation the signs have coalesced the things that christ has said would take place are taking place we have more evidence today than we've ever had somebody said to me well pastor mark you as an evangelist have been preaching about the second coming of christ for 50 years and telling people it's soon i said oh yeah if we preached it 50 years ago it's a lot sooner today than it was then i would rather prepare for the coming of christ in my lifetime and have him not come but be ready for his coming than not prepare and have him come and not be ready there is no hesitation with the people of god christ calls us to be ready for his soon return and i repeat the only way to be ready is to get ready and to stay ready what are those messages again in summary the first angel flies with the everlasting gospel the gospel of god's grace to be proclaimed in the light of heaven's final judgment calling all people to obey god and worship the creator here is a message of love a message of grace a message to go to the ends of the earth leading people to be so enamored with christ so transformed by the grace of christ to live godly obedient lives here is a message of the judgment hour calling men and women to obey god but because the majority of the world turns their back on this message the second angel flies in revelation 14 verse 8. he says babylon is fallen is fallen that great city because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication as we've studied in this series babylon is a symbol of religious confusion false doctrine human traditions babylon represents a man-made system of religion and so here the second angel's message is calling us from all man-made traditions it's calling us from making self the center it's calling us from the humanism of our day it's calling us back to jesus in making jesus a priority it's going us back to the truths of god's word babylon is a system that uses images or idols to represent its saints or its revered ones but the message of the angels flying in mid heaven call us back to the supremacy of christ babylon misunderstands the state of human beings in death so it teaches the immortality of the soul it revives ancient sun worship rather than accepting the bible sabbath so the messages of these angels these three cosmic messages call us back to worshiping the creator rather than the sun worship of the pagan philosophy and cultures failing to grasp the importance of the body as the temple of god it babylon treats the body as a fun house rather than the dwelling place of the holy spirit so god has an end time message an end time message calling us back to give him glory in what we eat and what we drink glory and how we live to praise him in every area and aspect of our lives john 17 verse 17 says sanctify them by your truth your word is truth the message of the three angels these three cosmic messages call us back to the word to be set apart to be sanctified to be hallowed by the very truth of god jesus said in john 8 verse 32 you shall know the truth some people have this idea that you can never know the truth but jesus says you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free the truth frees us the truth liberates us from error and falsehood in apostasy the third angel flies revelation 14 9-11 it is a warning against receiving the mark of the beast it is a warning against accepting a church state political union to bring security and peace on earth the vehicle of that union of course is that false sign of sun worship in opposition to sabbath worship throughout the prophecies of the bible a beast of course represents a political or religious power so the mark of the beast represents the sign of authority of religious political power that attempts to bring the world together in a world unity movement the beast of revelation in 13 13 and 14 rises out of rome as we've studied as a world wide system of worship history will repeat itself in the days of the early roman empire church and state united at a time when the empire was falling apart constantine the pagan roman emperor in an attempt to unite his empire use sunday as a vehicle in which the workshops closed what was a common social day church leaders united with the roman state past decrees and church councils to sanctify sunday contrary to the very word of god this indeed will happen again great controversy page 588 says through the two great errors what are they two great errors the immortality of the soul in sunday sacredness satan will bring the people under his deceptions while the former lays the foundation of spiritualism the latter creates a bond of sympathy with rome the protestants of the united states will be the foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the roman power and under the influence of this threefold union what's the threefold union spiritualism catholicism an apostate protestantism that has left its true lover jesus to accept the counterfeit teachings of the world and the counterfeit teachings of babylon this country america will follow in the steps of rome in trampling on the rights of conscience how will that indeed take place in a time of immense crisis in a time when it appears that this world is falling apart and crumbling at a time of uncertainty at that period of time church and state will unite the devil will work false miracles to bring together under the auspices of the vehicle of sunday worship a common day of worship those that don't go along will eventually be persecuted unable to buy or sell is what revelation 13 says and eventually there will be a death decree now one of the agencies that the devil uses to accomplish his ultimate goal of uniting the globe under his authority as false miracles so the spirits of demons work miracles to get this false unity movement united revelation chapter 13 discussing the mark of the beast discussing this economic boycott when no man can buy or sell in verse 13 and 14 says he that's the devil performs great signs or great miracles great wonders so that he makes fire come down from heaven on earth in the sight of man in the bible fire is a symbol of the presence of god the fiery sword there at the entrance of the garden of eden the presence of god keeping adam and eve from going back in the fiery presence leading the children of israel with the pillar of fire by night that was the representation the presence of god elijah the fire comes down the presence of god in the new testament fire represents the presence of god manifest in the holy spirit tongues of fire in the days of pentecost the fire of god's presence but this is false fire so this is a false presence of god a false holy ghost movement under the beast he performs back to the graphic he performs great signs so that he even makes fire false holy ghost movement false miracles from heaven on earth in the sight of man he deceives what does he do deceives those who dwell in the earth how by those signs he was granted to do in the sight of the beast so here are false miracles that indeed occur revelation 16 verse 14 tells the source the origin of these false miracles for they are the spirits of who demons performing signs or miracles wonders what do they do they go out to the kings of the earth and the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of god almighty so summarizing revelation chapter 13 talks about the rise of the papal power talks about its influence in the world it talks about a vehicle under the auspices of the beast's power to unite the whole world just before the coming of jesus and satan then unleashes the mighty powers of hell to work false or counterfeit miracles to convince the kings of the earth who often have this humanistic viewpoint these political leaders and the idea of seeing is believing so these false miracles convince them spiritualism protestantism catholicism the nations of the world the various religions of the world unite in an attempt to bring the world together in that unity in the book great controversy page 588 i continue to read as the spirits that's the evil spirits will profess faith in the bible and manifest respect for the institutions of the church their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power so there's this false religious revival that occurs but god is not caught off guard he is preparing for the earth to be lightened with the glory of god and a true religious revival will come at a time of global upheaval natural disasters economic collapse the devil will work with all power and lying wonders to deceive if possible the very chosen people of god but the people of god have been warned three cosmic messages three angels messages have given them the alert have opened their eyes have prepared them for the coming of the lord jesus christ the three angels messages are heaven's safeguard against the deceptions of the enemy the reformation at end time will be completed satan will not take the field alone god will move through his end time people his last day people to restore the truth of his word honest hearted men and women will have their hearts illuminated with the glory of god with the truth of god the light of god's truth will shine and as it shines ever so brightly thousands and tens of thousands will respond to that truth accepted and be prepared for the coming of jesus it will be written as is stated in revelation 14 verse 12. it will be written of them here is the patience of the saints here is the endurance of the believers here are they that keep the commandments of god and the faith of jesus christ jesus will have an end time people a people that are obedient to him a people that have the quality of christ's faith living in their hearts a people that have trust in jesus at end time through that people god will reveal his will truths long obscured by the darkness of error and tradition including the true bible sabbath will be proclaimed to the world just before the return of our lord this earth will be lightened with the glory of god the reformation that began in the 13th century and continued on through the 14th 15th 16th century that reformation that returned to the bible that returned to the centrality of christ that return to grace as the only means of salvation that return to obedience to god as our motto that reformation will be completed that reformation will come to a climax in a last day adventist people who are a movement of destiny raised up by god to proclaim his last day message to the ends of the earth there will be the birth of a movement at end time that movement has already begun that movement is already echoing god's truth around the world but there will be at end time a final movement of god a final move of god revelation 14 verse 7 says fear god give glory to him the army's judgment has come worship him who made heaven and earth the sea in the springs of waters fear god respect him obey him a message to go to every nation kindred tongue and people give glory to him in your lifestyle a message for the world for the hour of his judgment has come a message for every man woman and child on planet earth worship the creator rather than worshipping the ones who made in the works of our hands the devil has tried to undermine creation in an age of evolution but the call at end time the call in the last days the call of these three angels is a call to worship the creator and enshrined in the sabbath commandment is that call to worship the creator john in revelation chapter 18 verse 1 talks about this final move of god he talks about this last day movement and he says after these things i saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority and the earth was illuminated with his glory the devil will not enshroud this world in darkness the devil will not triumph in the end jesus will triumph in the end the devil will not be victorious in the end jesus will be victorious the earth will be lightened with the glory of god now did you notice our text revelation 18 1 after these things i saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority now this expression great authority is a is a very amazing expression the new testament is written in the greek language and the word for great authority is exusia now ecsocia means authority but it means more than authority exocera means power but it means more than power exosia is a very hard word to translate into the english language or other languages you don't really see the nuance on it but the word exousia has to do with victory and triumph in power and authority it has to do with christ's authority over the principalities and powers of hell so what revelation 18 is saying is that god will have an end time people through whom he will triumph in the most crucial time of earth's history at the greatest crisis of his history and his people will triumph by his grace and through his power over the principalities and powers of hell and the earth will be lighted with his glory now i'd like to look with you at some other ways in the new testament that this verb exist or this phrase exosya rather is described great authority here we have it in matthew 10 verse 1. when jesus he had called his twelve disciples to him he gave them power now notice the word for powers exousia over what unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease so in the last days of verse history when satan works false miracles god at end time will manifest his power unusual power from beneath calls for supernatural power from above and god will once again through his church bless it with supernatural power we will see miracles worked the sick will be healed undeniable wonders will be performed by the people of god because they are totally absolutely committed to christ they will not be performing those miracles they will be the vehicles that christ uses to perform those miracles but we are going to see the miracle working power of god at end time will there be false miracles yes will many people be deceived by those for else miracles certainly what's the difference between the false and true miracles we shared that in another presentation but to summarize it in case you missed that false miracles lead you to be content in yourself separate from obedience to god false miracles have nothing to do with obedience but genuine authentic miracles always lead us back to obedience to god's natural law god's moral law genuine miracles always lead us to heartfelt confession and repentance and so this word exousia is a word of power and triumph here it's used again in matthew 28 verse 18. jesus came and spoke to them saying now this is christ's great commission to the disciples to the first century church all authority has been given to me in heaven and earth that word authority again is exosea and in a few short years the disciples proclaimed the gospel to the then known world how did they do that in the power of christ how did they do that in the power of the holy spirit so an end time when it looks like everything in the world is falling apart when there's a union of church and state when the people of god are oppressed the latter rain power of the holy spirit is poured out upon them and the church rises as as as glorious as the sun as fair as the moon as strong as an army according to ephesians chapter 5 and the earth is lightened with the glory of god because god's church has risen to the occasion a god has a people totally absolutely committed to him and upon that people he pours out his holy spirit at in time the holy spirit will be poured out in unprecedented power the gospel will rapidly spread to the ends of the earth this gospel of the kingdom matthew 24 verse 14 shall be preached to all the world as a witness to all nations then the end will come this is christ's promise this is christ's appeal to you and me be part of something big be part of something grand be part of something glorious do not play church do not fiddle around on the peripheries of faith this is a time to share christ this is a time to share the hope of his soon coming this is the time of urgency to share the beauty of his last day message with the world this is a time to share the three angels messages these three cosmic messages in earth's final conflict with your friends and your neighbors revelation 18 1 after these things i saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority ecstasy a power with great triumph victory now notice the earth was illuminated with his glory what does it mean the earth is illuminated with the glory of god in the book of revelation there are three things that are linked god's glory god's honor in god's power when satan challenged the government of god in the great controversy between good and evil millenniums ago in heaven he challenged god's glory the lucifer wanted god's glory he challenged god's honor lucifer wanted god's honor and he challenged god's power god will raise up an end-time people who have only one interest god's glory not their own glory not self-centered egotism god's honor not their reputation god's power not their power not not on some ego trip for power now i want you to notice how these three things are linked as the ultimate solution to the great controversy in the book of revelation revelation 4 verse 11 you are worthy o lord to receive what glory and honor and power for you created all things and by your will they exist and were created so god as creator is worthy of glory honor and power that's the real issue in the great controversy that's the issue in this intergalactic struggle between christ and satan who is worthy of glory honor and power notice revelation 5 12 you have the same expression a little different order but the same worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing why is jesus worthy of our honor why is jesus worthy of our glory why is jesus worthy of being the one who has the power of the whole universe because first he created us revelation 4 11. second he redeemed us revelation 5 there and verse 12 but notice the linkage of power honor and glory notice revelation 19 verse 1 the redeemed the redeemed standing in heaven with christ when sin and suffering and sickness are no more when heartache is no more when pain is over when evil is destroyed when sin has been crushed by christ when the victory is christ we stand there with jesus and we say what salvation and glory and honor and power to the lord our god the controversy has ended one pulse of harmony and gods is beast throughout the vast creation seeing in sinners are no more and in the numberless worlds sheriff him and seraphim seeing glory and honor and power to him revelation 21 verse 26 again they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it we clothed with the glory of christ we filled with one desire to honor christ enter into that holy city satan the evil serpent the deceived eve is crushed and gone forever that evil angel the being of dazzling brightness that rebelled against god one day will be destroyed burned up consumed all of those earthly powers that wanted their glory beast rise and fall babylon rises and falls meat of persia rises and falls greece rises and falls rome rises and falls rome is broken up there is this amalgamation union of church and state dark ages end time political union of church and state but all of these powers that have risen and fallen seeking their honor seeking their glory they are now faded into insignificance here is the good news there is one thing that will last there is one thing that will endure there is one thing that will go through the ceaseless ages of eternity we'll be singing glory we'll be singing honor we'll be singing power to christ the great controversy will be ended jesus earned that right when he created us jesus earned that right on the cross of calvary when he bore our sins in guilt jesus resurrected from the dead intercedes for us and he is the one that is worthy of glory honor and power charmed by his love concerned about his honor his end time people reveal his glory his loving self-sacrificing character to a self-centered godless world and the earth is illuminated with the character of god because an end-time people who want nothing else but what he wants who desire nothing else but to please him who are concerned about his glory his honor who are concerned about his reputation in the universe that end time people go out and proclaim the message of his love the message of his grace the message of his mercy the message of his incredible power the messages of his everlasting strength and the message of his soon return in the hope of his soon return what is the glory of christ exodus 33 verse 18 and 19 moses said show me your glory and god said i will make all my goodness pass before you god's goodness is his character the earth is filled with the glory of god as god's goodness is poured out through god's people as they reveal his character the earth will be filled with the glory the goodness the grace of god as an end time people go out and proclaim that grace first john chapter 3 verse 1 and 2 says behold what manner of love the father has bestowed on us that we should be called the children of god coming to christ right now you are a child of god you are a son of god a daughter of god but you remember what the bible says beloved now we are the children of god when are we children of god right now and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be but we know we what we know that when he is revealed we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is god is doing something in your life today but god wants to do much more according to hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 and 2 jesus is the author of our faith but he's also the finisher of it christ has begun to do something in your life philippians 1 6 and verse 6 and 7 says this is the confidence i have in him that he that has begun a good work in me will finish it god wants to do much more for you however much you know christ he wants to fill you fuller with his grace however close you are to him he wants to bring you closer he wants you to know him and to know him intimately he wants to fill your heart with a sense of his presence a sense of his love a sense of his grace beloved john sis the john that wrote the book of revelation beloved now are we the sons of god yet it doth not yet appear what we shall be for when he shall appear we shall see him as he is and we shall be like him is the great desire of your heart to be like christ ellen white writing to the general conference of seventh-day adventists in a the daily bulletin of january 28 1893 says this the message of christ's righteousness is to sound from one end of the earth to the other this is the glory of god which closes the work of the third angel the message of christ's righteousness what is that that i am unworthy but he is worthy i am unrighteous but he is righteous i am filthy but he is clean i am impure but he is pure i am weak but he is strong the message of christ's righteousness is to go from one end of the earth to the other what is the message the summary of the message of the three angels it is that christ is all in all we come to christ we forsake all of our own righteousness his righteous lives in our heart the beast power focuses attention upon himself on some political religious unity to solve the problems of the world what is the righteousness of christ it's only christ can solve the problems of the world he can solve the problems of her own personal life he can solve the problems internationally of the world the christ that created us the christ that died for us the christ that intercedes for us the christ that's coming again for us this christ who is all righteous is our only savior and redeemer babylon in all false religion speaks of the glory of man christ in genuine christianity genuine christianity speaks of the glory of christ babylon in all false religions speak of my reputation my honor genuine christianity speaks of christ's reputation and christ's honor babylon in all false religions speak of human works what have i done genuine christianity speaks of what christ has done babylon in all false religions speak of what i am doing for christ these false religions necessitate coming with with offerings and flagellation and coming to make myself righteous before god but genuine christianity speaks of the cross it speaks of what christ has done for me and in light of his matchless charms i am drawn to him babylon and all false religions are based on a distortion of biblical truth founded in human opinion genuine christianity is based on the truth as it is in jesus genuine christianity is anchored not man's opinion not in human ideas not in some cultural approach that shapes the bible according to my opinion but it is anchored in jesus and his word gratitude for everything christ has done for us motivates our behavior leads us to commit the entirety of our lives to him the bible says in the essence of these messages of the three angels these three cosmic messages the bible says fear god respect him give glory to him in testimonies to ministers ellen white writes to ministers page 453 what is righteousness by faith it is the work of laying the glory of man in the dust and doing for man what it is impossible for him to do for himself we come to jesus and we say jesus there is no way i can save myself jesus take my life my sinful self and jesus save me and jesus when you save me you save me not for a life of disobedience you save me for a life of obedience the angel christ mightily in revelation 18 2-4 he cries mightily with a loud voice say babylon the great is fallen has become the dwelling place of demons for all nations have drunk the wine of herb fornication babylon in false religion that depends on human opinions is deceived by demons the nations of the world drink the wine they become drunk with her false doctrine the kings of the earth unite with that false system they commit fornication with her the merchants of the earth that is the economic powers the moneyed men of the earth become rich through the abundance of her delicacy here there is a truth another threefold union apostate or false religions unite on their perceived idea of truth their human opinion of truth their human traditions political powers joined them to bring the world together the nations of the world unite governments the financial institutions our economic powers unite but in revelation 18 4 there is a clarion call i heard another voice from heaven saying come out of her my people lest you share in her sins lest you receive of her plagues god makes his final appeal that final appeal is going out to the world right now jesus is appealing to his people in a message of love come be part of my last day movement come be part of this movement this divine movement of destiny come and share the glory of my truth to the world come and reveal my honor come and reveal my glory come and be empowered by my spirit come and unite your life with me and be participant in that final movement to the world the bible says it is time to make a decision for christ babylon described in revelation 18 verse 5 her sins have reached to the heavens and god has remembered her iniquity it is time when jesus says enough enough sin in the days of noah sin reached its final point in the days of noah the cup of iniquity was setter was was filled in the days of sodom and gomorrah the cup of iniquity was filled and god said enough at end time jesus says enough in the last days of verse history god says enough enough suffering enough heartache enough sorrow enough rebellion enough sin and jesus says it is time gentlemen ladies it's closing time testimonies for the church volume 5 page 208 reads with unerring accuracy the infinite one still keeps an account with all nations while his mercy is tendered with calls to repentance this account will remain open but when the figures reach a certain amount which god is fixed probation will close when that takes place notice what it says the ministry of his wrath commences the account is closed divine patience ceases there is no more pleading of mercy in their behalf the message of christ is going out now every human being will have the opportunity to make their irrevocable decision probation does not close arbitrarily by god but it closes as a signal that everybody has already made up their mind this is decision time where are we in the stream of time god is preparing a people to proclaim the marvels of his grace the greatness of his love the goodness of his character the righteousness of his law and the beauty of his truth as paul said for me to live is christ this is the time in the light of the second coming of christ to make our final decision for christ this is the time to get off the fence some time ago lord cecil one of the royal line princes of england was in canada for a short period of time and he was on his way to a church service and as he was he looked out and saw a man whom he recognized that had been to church before but it had drifted away from christ and this man was out working splitting lumber and all cecil said was brother the lord is coming he kept walking that lumberjack began thinking the lord is coming the lord is coming the lord is coming am i ready for his return am i ready for that day that jesus will stream down the cord of the sky am i ready for that day that the earth will be a light with the glory of god have i made a full complete total to surrender to christ this world is on collision course and there is only one hope the hope of the coming of jesus i love that song we have this hope that burns within our hearts listen as charles sings we have this hope that burns within our hearts open the coming of the lord

grace and love so we can proclaim that hope to the ends of the earth in christ's name amen god bless you my friend [Music] you
