See, Christ is getting ready to come back and he’s gonna reign forever and ever and ever in our new heavens and our new earth. Oh, we’re close. And then he says here in verse 16, and the four and twenty elders which sat before God on their thrones fell upon their faces and worship God, saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art and was and art to come, because thou hast taken to thee thy great power and hath reigned.

So he ain’t done it yet, but it looks like it like he already has. So he kind of like jumps out into the future and he comes back and he’ll tell you some more things going to happen and he jumps back out there and he comes back and tell you some more things going to happen. And look what he says in verse 18, and the nations were angry and the wrath is coming out of the land. The wrath is coming.

See, it was the wrath of the Lamb is coming. Now the wrath has arrived. It’s arrived. You’re doing this period of time right here. It’s a short period of time, three and a half years, the devil knows he has, but a short time. See, the devil believes in prophecy, the devil believes the Bible better than most Christians do. So he’s in verse 18, the wrath is come and the time of the dead, that they should be judged and that thou should have give reward unto by servants the prophets and to the saints.

them that fear thy name small and great and should get to destroy them which destroy the earth. Are we living at a time when people are able to destroy this earth? God’s going to come back and destroy them that would destroy the earth. And he says in the book of Matthew in chapter 24, it makes a statement that the great tribulation that’s coming. And if God does not intervene. No flesh would be left alive. Well, weACTION at the state that exists in emergency.

That man can destroy man from the face of this earth. And they579 know what little nut is going to mash some little button and fire some little missile. And when these days we’re going to see some mushroom cloud over some city here in America. You say, you believe all that? Yes, I do. I’m a realist. I’m not going to take my head and put it into the sand and close my eyes like it’s not going to be possible. Yes, it is possible.

We haven’t yet suffered as a nation like some nations have suffered. And Christians, we have had it so nice and so easy and so cozy for so long. We don’t know what it would be like to have to sacrifice for what we really believe. So he says in verse 19, and the temple of God was opened in heaven. And there was seen in his temple the Ark of the Covenant. So you say, where’s that covenant? You know the Ark, the Raiders of the Lost Ark, is trying to find out.

I already found it, this right there. God says it’s in heaven. But anyway, I believe there’s another one. I believe there’s another one. And I believe there’s a good possibility. It’s under the Temple Mount. Look there in Revelation chapter 14. Revelation chapter 14. And look in verse 10. Revelation 14 and look in verse 10. He says that during this period of time in verse nine, we’re looking in verse nine. And the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, if any man worshiped the beast and his image and received his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wind of the anyora on the land, the wrath of God, the wrath of God.

Which is poured out without mixture. In other words, God’s not going to dilute his wrath with mercy. During this period of time, no mercy. God is going to unleash his fury. In other words, have you ever wondered why if God can destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, why is he not doing something about what’s going on in our nation today? Be patient. It’s coming. God is going to have enough. and judgment is going to fall. God’s wrath is coming. You and I, as a child of God, we can’t live as we plead because God says he’ll beat the Torah out of us if we do, maybe take us home before our time.

But those people who rebel against God want nothing to do with the Bible, nothing to do with Jesus Christ, hey, if there’s anybody you don’t want to make mad, be God. You don’t want to make God mad. And look what he says in verse 10. The same shall drink of the wind of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb and the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever.

That sounds like a long time to me. And they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast and his image and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. But wrath of God, see, is coming. Look there in the verse here, look in verse 19. In verse 19, it talks about this great big old bowl. And it is great big old bowl. It’s really a big old valley. It’s the plains of Jezreel in the place called Megiddo. They called it the Battle of Armageddon, but that’s another sermon I’m going to go in there.

This is a great big old bowl. And God’s going to go out there and he’s sending out his angels and cutting down all these big old grape vines and dragging these grape vines. They’re people from all over the world into this great big old valley. And then God says he’s going to jump in there with his feet and smash him. And it says the blood’s gonna run for about 200 miles. God’s gonna be angry. People can play around with God all they want to, but God is a good God.

God is a loving God. God’s a kind God. He’s a compassionate God. But don’t make him mad. And people are making God angry. God is getting upset. And God is going to judge this world. He’s gonna judge Israel because they rejected their Messiah. and you’re going to judge the world because they still rejected the Messiah. Everything deals with Jesus Christ. What do you do with Him? So He says here in verse 19, and the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, gather the vine to the earth and cast it into the great winepress.

And you’re out on the land these words, the wrath of God. The wrath of God. And the winepress was trod without the city and blood came out of the winepress. Even until the horses bridled by the space of a thousand and six hundred for a long time. Almost two hundred miles. And that’s a long ways. But this is what God’s word is saying is going to take place. Look there in chapter 16 of Revelation. And look in verse 1, and I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

And you’re on the line that were filled up. In other words, the bowl is full. And God has had enough and he’s sending forth these angels and says, I want you to take these bowls of judgment and dump them out upon the earth. So there’s seven bowls of judgment. They don’t happen exactly the same time. They happen consecutively. In other words, this one and then this one and then this one and then this one and then this one. But while this judgment is going on, this another one poured out.

And then now you got two of them going on. Then they poured out this one. And now three of them going on. Then you pour out the next one and now you got all four of them going on and he gets it worse and worse and worse and worse and no let up the worst period of time on The face of the earth look down in verse 7 and one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials That’s word vials.

There should really be bowls because a bile is kind of long and narrow and The bowl is more flat and wider This is something that God’s going to pour out his bowls of judgments upon the entire earth. And he says, the vials, and you ought to get this full of the wrath of God who liveeth forever and ever. Now, is there anything in the Bible talks about the love of God? Well, yes. God loves us. But whenever you reject the love of God, there’s nothing left but the wrath of God.

I would rather accept Jesus Christ today as my Savior than to have to face him down the road as my judge. You see, he is my Savior. I accepted the payment he made on the cross for my sins. I have eternal life. I’m going to heaven when I die. I can’t change it. God can’t change it. That’s the best news in all the world that a man can know where he’s going to spend eternity. But there’s people that do not want anything to do with God.

Now look in chapter 16 of the book of Revelation. In chapter 16 of the book of Revelation, you’ll notice they’re in verse one. And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. So we’ve had the seven seals, the seven trumpets. Now pour out the bowls of judgment upon the earth. And it says in verse two, and the first went, poured out his vial upon the earth.

And there was a noisomen, a grievous sur upon the men which had the mark of the beat. Did you know that we’re living in a time where they want to give everybody a number or an embedded chip in your hand, your forehead? Isn’t that something, that was in the Bible 2,000 years ago. and it has to happen during this period of time. Are we close or what? You say it’s just a coincidence. You can believe that if you want.

I take it more seriously. I say somebody back there had to know what was gonna happen. How did they know that Israel would be out of the land for 2000 years and go back to their land? And it’s the only nation in all the world that’s ever done it. But the Bible says that’s what’s gonna happen. They did just a coincidence, it’s not. No, if you want to know truth, you can know truth. Or you can take your head and put it in the sand and be done, be ignorant.

Ignor’s his bliss. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or you can open up your eyes and say, good night, look what’s going on in this world. And if you haven’t trusted Christ as your Savior, but it’d be the smartest thing you could ever do. I’m not talking about joining the church. I’m not talking about you being baptized Simon eyes or anything else. I’m talking about will you trust Jesus Christ as your only hope of going to heaven when you die Because he died on that cross for you and then you’ll notice in verse three It talks about the second angel poured out his val upon the sea who’s doing is God God is pouring out his vows upon the earth the bowls of judgment his wrath and In verse four he talks about upon the rivers the fountains of water and then you look down there in verse eight

The fourth angel poured out his valop on the sun. The power was given unto him. Distorts men with fire, but in so much heat. You talk about global warming? This is global warming. I like to see what our goal is going to do about this. Probably penalize God. No doubt, there’s got to be a he. In verse 10, the fifth angel poured out his valop on the seat of the beast, the throne. And his kingdom was full of darkness, and they’re gnawed.

They gnawed their tongue for pain and blasphemed the God of Heaven because of their pains and their source, and repented not of their evil deeds. Still didn’t change their mind. Nothing would work. And so God says it’s just leading it all down to that final climax where he’s going to judge him at the Battle of Armageddon. You see there in verse 12, and the sixth angel sounded and poured out his valop on the Great Grover Euphrates and their waters there are dried up the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Do you know they’ve done some of this in Turkey where they tried to control the water? Of course, the high rain don’t like it. And so they can close off the water, make way for the kings of the east. And the Bible says in chapter 9 of the book of Revelation about 200 million soldiers. Do you know there’s only one country in all the world that can put in honors, 200 million soldiers just happens a lot east of Israel?

little place called China. But now look there in verse 13. He says, and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of mouth of the beast, and the false prophet. That’s the devil, the anti-Christ, and the religious leader. The unholy Trinity. And you know how a frog catches his prey come. And they’re going to come on the thing and buddy they’re going to be able to just talk the people into anything.

We’re going down a slope we’re going to never get out of. And everybody just watching itensual. And in verse 14, and they are the spirits of devils, working miraclestheless which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief, bless it as he that watch it, then keep it as garments lest he walk naked and they see ashamed, and he gathered them together in a place called in the Hebrew tongue.

Armageddon. That’s when Christ comes back. and power and great glory. He’s bringing them in and he’s going to destroy every last one of them. Won’t be much of a battle. But that day is coming. Now in verse 17, in verse 17 he said, and the angels poured out his valence of the year. And there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne saying it is done. Now there’s another place where he said on the cross it is finished.

It means the payment that he may made for the sins of the world was paid for. It was done. It is finished. There’s a time coming when he’s going to say, it is finished. It is done. He’s poured on his wrath upon the earth. Israel is going to be annihilated if God doesn’t intervene when he does. And they’ll see him and the scars in his hands and say, where did you get those scars in your hand? He says, when I came in the house of my friends.

And it says, and Israel will be saved as in a day. And they’re going to believe that Jesus Christ is their Messiah and accept Him. And He will be their King, the King of the nation of Israel. And Israel one day will be the greatest nation on the face of this earth. Mark my word, no, mark His word because it’s the truth. And it says, there’s nothing ever been like this time that’s coming up on you. You’re looking for Satan.

And there were voices and thunders and lightens and there was a greater quake, such as was not since men were upon the earth. So mighty an earthquake. And you notice there’s a lot of earthquakes happening around this world world. And it’s going to get worse and worse and worse in Christ. There will be more and more and more of it. And it’s a common. We’re living in a very exciting time. I am glad, very glad to know Christ is my Savior and know that I’m going to heaven whenever I die.

Now, I want you to see this in Revelation chapter Look at verse 19, look at verse 1, Revelation 19, look at verse 1, and after these things, I heard a great voice of much people in heaven. That’s probably more than 144,000 that some people like to say. But anyway, say, Hallelujah, salvation and glory and honor and power unto the Lord our God. Get this, for true and righteous are His judgment, for He had judged the great whore. done, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication and had avenged past hits, avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

So he was going to avenge. Now it’s done. Job’s done. In chapter 20, into the millennium. See, the things in Scripture line up perfectly. People say, well, you can’t understand the book of Revelation. Evidently, they haven’t been the Calvary Community Church. Because the Bible is very simple and it’s very clear. And I want to give you one last laugh that you need to say. Look in John chapter 3, the Gospel of John in chapter 3. Look in verse 16, for God so loved the world that it gave his only begotten Son.

Now whosoever, believe it in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. Verse 17, for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world. But that the world through him might be what? Might be saved. So God loves the world and God wants the world to be saved. But the world don’t want to be saved. They don’t want to be saved from their sin. They don’t want to be saved from the penalty of their sin. of darkness because their deeds are evil.

They’d rather not have the knowledge of God. They don’t want to think about God. Just do whatever I want to do. Like God, get off my back. Verse 18, he that believeth on him is not condemned. But he that believeth not is condemned already. Why? Because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. The only reason the man is condemned. It’s not because Christ didn’t pay for all of his sin because he did that.

It’s because he doesn’t believe that Christ did it for him. That’s the only reason the man goes to hell. Christ says, go into all the world and preach the forgiveness of sins. He can’t forgive anybody of any sin unless he paid for it. So he paid for all the sins of the world and says, preach the forgiveness of sin. God can forgive you. In other words, if he forgives me, it means it’s like I never committed it. If he forgives me of 10 sins, it’s like I never committed those 10 sins.

sins. When the people forgive me of all of my sins, then it’s just like I never committed one. I go to heaven on what he did for me. Now, buddy, that’s good news. There’s no tricks to it. There’s no gimmicks to it. That’s the best news inRomney. But now, see, everybody doesn’t believe that. I can’t make people believe msec. I’m not God. I can’t reach up there and get ahold of God and bring them down here and say, Hey, there he is.

I can’t prove God to anybody. People can believe whatever they want to believe. I chose to believe this book. I chose to believe what I’m teaching. And this is what he says here. Look in verse 36, he that believe it on the sun have everlasting life. Those that do believe it, God says you have everlasting life. When? Well, when you believe it. You mean if I believe it right now? Then right now God says He gives you everlasting life.

Oh, what if I choose not to believe it? Well, look what He says in verse last part of it. He that believeth not the Son shall not see life. You shall not have eternal life. But look at the last part of that verse and And you ought to underline that verse. The wrath of God abides on Him. Alright, here you are right here. Here is the wrath of God. And every person in this world is living under the wrath of God.

Because all have sinned. Now Christ took the wrath of God for our sins. But if you don’t accept that payment, the wrath of God is still over you. And it’s only until the day of execution, and you don’t know when it’s going to be, you don’t know when you’re going to die. And one of these days, you’re going to die. And the wrath of God, you’re going to be in a literal fire burning hell for all eternity, and it didn’t have to be that way.

It’s because you would not. It’s not that you could not. You chose not to believe. You could have believed, and yet you’ll find yourself in hell for all eternity and knowing you’ll never get out and you didn’t have to be there. The horror of thinking about stuff like that. And you’ll remember back to the day you said at Calvary Community Church and you heard this preacher tell you all you had to do is trust Christ as your Savior and you refused, you refused, but you didn’t have to refuse.

See, I’m not going to heaven because I’m a preacher. I’m not going to heaven because I try to do right. I’m going to heaven because God is good. He died and paid for my sins and I trusted much my Savior. But see, if you don’t trust Christ as your Savior, you’re living every day under the wrath of God. And one of these days, the wrath of God is going to fall. You see, he offers you now his love. But if you reject his love, then you’re going to get his wrath.

The wrath of God is going to fall. I pray that you’ll be smart, that you’ll be wise. The wrath of God is coming. The worst period of time in all of human history is right ahead of us. And I pray that if the rapture was to take place, I pray that you have trusted Him as your Savior, that you made sure that your wife or your husband and your kids and your loved ones, you want them to go to heaven when you die.

And tell them, you may be the only one that will reach them. It was my father-in-law that explained this to me. And the older I get, the more precious that moment becomes to me. I didn’t think about that much at the beginning, but the older I get, the more real it comes to me. I’m so thankful that that man explained the gospel to me about everything else. Best news in all the world. Look up here. Somebody got me some new sin for Christmas, and I appreciate it.

See, my sin was always black. This is got a little red and black mixed into it. A little brown. I guess it covers everybody red and yellow, black and white. But anyway, this sin represents you and me. The wallet represents sin. Now, we all have sin upon us. It means we’ve all done things wrong. God says that He loves us. Now He hates our sin, but He loves us. But see, sin has to be paid. And since we’ve all sinned, we all have to die.

We sin is dead. So since we’ve all sinned, we’re all condemned. But God loves us and wants us to have eternal life. And he showed us how much he loved us by what he did for us. He says, you can’t earn eternal life. You’ve got to be perfect. And you’re not perfect. None of us are. You can’t be good enough to get to heaven. It’s not by your works. It’s not by your good deeds. You can be sincere, but you’re sincerely wrong.

You can’t save yourself. This hand represents Jesus Christ. He’s the Lord. God and I. flash. He came into the world because he loves us, hates our sin because it separates us from him. Christ took the sin, paid for it on the cross, came back from the dead. And he said, if you’ll believe that he did it for you, he’ll put that payment to your account and you get to go to heaven on what he did. You see, for God so loved the world that he gave is only begotten Son.

The who’s the word for believing in him? You believe he did it for you, should not perish means you won’t go to hell, but have everlasting life. For God had made him Jesus Christ, who knew no sin to be sinned for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. See, I go to heaven on his righteousness, not mine. He took my sins, gives me his righteousness. If God gave me his righteousness, would that be good enough to go to heaven on?

Yeah, I go to heaven on what he did. That’s the best news in all in all the world. Let’s pray, shall we? Every head bowed and every eye closed, no one looking around. If you hear this morning and have never trusted Christ as your Savior, the wrath of God is coming upon the nation, it’s coming upon the whole world. We can’t do anything about that. But the wrath of God is also coming upon you. You can do something about that.

As you said here this morning, do you have any fear of God? Do you have a fear of dying? Do you think about it? Do you wonder where you’re going to spend eternity? Why not right now in the quietness of this moment? Just talk to the Lord and say, Lord, I don’t understand it all, but I believe Christ died andQuotes paid for my sins. I want to go to heaven when I die. I believe you did it for me.

I’m going to trust you right now as my Savior. Friend, I’m not going to have you forward to come and embarrass you or I don’t want you to sign a card or I’m not here to put you on a spot. But this is so important to me. It should be important to you. But I’m going to ask in just a moment for you to raise your hand, not to save you. But I’m going to ask you to raise your hand in just a moment if what I said made sense to you.

that made sense to me. And this morning, I trusted Christ as my Savior. If you’ve already done it, you don’t have to do it again. But this morning, this moment, if you’ll trust Christ as your Savior, would you let me know by just flipping your hand up real quick and put it right back down? And what’s all? Yes, God bless you, buddy. I appreciate that. See, trusting Christ as your Savior is to sign a good judgment. Only a fool would turn on a free gift.

Anyone else before we close? So yes, I want to trust Christ as my Savior. If you want to be certain, I’m going to heaven when I die. Anyone at all. Our Father, we thank You so much for all You’ve done for us. Especially for the one that indicated that they would trust Your Savior. By doing so, they become Your child for all eternity. You give Me eternal life and You’ll never cast them out and never lose them. And Father, we ask Your blessings upon each person here.

We do pray, Father, for wisdom for those that are in place of leadership because we suffer the consequences of their decisions. and we pray that they’ll do right. We ask your blessings upon each person here, their families, this church, and we thank you for your goodness to us. In Christ’s name we pray, amen.
