1 00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:03,990 1 Thessalonians 4 at verse 16. 2 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,800 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,580 with a shout, with the voice of the 4 00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:19,680 archangel and with the trump of God, and 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,220 the dead in Christ shall rise first. 6 00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:27,560 2 Then we which are alive and remain 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,020 shall be caught up together with them in 8 00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:34,480 the clouds to meet the Lord in the 9 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:34,840 air. 10 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,140 3 And so shall we ever be with 11 00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:44,360 the Lord, the one that we have been 12 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,560 hearing about, whose person has been so magnified 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,460 before us. 14 00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:52,840 4 He is coming back. 15 00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:58,220 Brethren, we're going to see him. 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,660 We're going to be like him. 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,400 We're going to be with him forever. 18 00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:09,780 5 Drawing the meeting to a close, I 19 00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:11,360 want to talk to you about the Lord. 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,980 I want to draw your attention to certain 21 00:01:15,980 --> 00:01:20,620 wonderful things 6 that will be seen or 22 00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:22,620 take place at the rapture. 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,640 Let me enumerate them, please, will you? 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,760 For in these verses, there are probably about 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,760 a dozen things. 26 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,540 Look now again at verse 16. 27 00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:41,380 The Lord himself, the wonder of his person, 28 00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:47,280 7 shall descend from heaven, the wonder of 29 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:54,220 divine movement, with a shout, the wonder of 30 00:01:54,220 --> 00:01:55,160 divine power. 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,120 8 The dead in Christ shall rise, the 32 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,480 wonder of selective resurrection. 33 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:11,650 9 Then we which are alive and remain, 34 00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:19,490 the wonder of transformation, shall be caught up, 35 00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:22,590 the wonder of rapture. 36 00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:29,210 10 Together, the wonder of completion, the first 37 00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:32,450 time the church will seem to be complete. 38 00:02:33,610 --> 00:02:38,990 11 Again together, secondary idea, the wonder of 39 00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:39,590 reunion. 40 00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:45,510 12 To meet the Lord, the wonder of 41 00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:46,150 revelation. 42 00:02:47,310 --> 00:02:53,210 13 In the air, the wonder of assembling. 43 00:02:53,210 --> 00:03:00,180 14 So shall we ever be, the wonder 44 00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,820 of eternity. 45 00:03:03,580 --> 00:03:08,400 15 With the Lord, the wonder of his 46 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,720 companionship. 47 00:03:10,780 --> 00:03:14,920 16 What a day, glorious day this will 48 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:15,200 be! 49 00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:21,670 17 The Lord himself shall come. 50 00:03:22,610 --> 00:03:24,630 18 Listen to him in the upper room. 51 00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:28,310 Let not your heart be troubled. 52 00:03:29,610 --> 00:03:31,770 19 Ye believe in God, whom ye have 53 00:03:31,770 --> 00:03:32,410 never seen? 54 00:03:33,650 --> 00:03:36,850 Believe in me when ye can't see me. 55 00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:41,050 20 In my Father's house are many mansions. 56 00:03:41,530 --> 00:03:43,970 If it were not so, I would have 57 00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:44,590 told you. 58 00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:48,150 21 I go to prepare a place for 59 00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:54,550 you, and if I go, I will come 60 00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:55,530 again. 61 00:03:56,670 --> 00:04:02,710 22 On the precincts of Bethany, with hands 62 00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:06,590 outstretched in blessing, slowly he went. 63 00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:10,870 23 The fact of his going is the 64 00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:11,810 proof of his coming. 65 00:04:12,350 --> 00:04:14,950 I will come again. 66 00:04:16,029 --> 00:04:18,010 24 The same Jesus. 67 00:04:19,170 --> 00:04:22,310 25 Brethren, he is coming back, and he 68 00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:23,650 is coming back personally. 69 00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:26,910 26 No angel will take his place. 70 00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:30,910 Gabriel is too insignificant for this. 71 00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:34,970 27 That wondrous moment in the divine calendar. 72 00:04:35,410 --> 00:04:39,930 28 The Lord himself shall descend from heaven, 73 00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:41,770 the wonder of movement. 74 00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:47,030 29 That day he shall leave his Father's 75 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:49,010 throne and step into mid-air. 76 00:04:52,430 --> 00:04:57,510 30 The terminus is not Bethlehem this time. 77 00:04:57,510 --> 00:05:01,890 31 The terminus later on will be Jerusalem. 78 00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:05,370 32 But this time he is coming into 79 00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:10,510 mid-air, and as he comes, he shouts. 80 00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:12,830 Did you get that? 81 00:05:13,170 --> 00:05:16,250 33 The Lord himself shall descend from heaven 82 00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:17,190 with a shout. 83 00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:18,410 Now, why does he shout? 84 00:05:21,050 --> 00:05:23,070 You know, the Lord does lots of things 85 00:05:23,070 --> 00:05:24,710 that we think he doesn't need to do. 86 00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:27,570 34 But why should he shout? 87 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:37,050 Speaking is the method which divine persons have 88 00:05:37,050 --> 00:05:39,110 chosen to express their energy. 89 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:43,610 When they want to release their power, when 90 00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:46,170 they want to express their energy, they speak. 91 00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:48,050 Now, let me illustrate. 92 00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:54,060 A way back yonder in Genesis 1, the 93 00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:56,340 Lord said, Let there be light. 94 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240 Now, when he spoke, he released his energy. 95 00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:00,560 What happened? 96 00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:04,440 And there was light. 97 00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:06,580 Come to John 5. 98 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Here's a man lying at the pool. 99 00:06:10,180 --> 00:06:11,620 38 years he's been there. 100 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,580 It's a long time. 101 00:06:12,820 --> 00:06:13,920 Will thou be made whole? 102 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,420 How can I, Lord? 103 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,760 Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 104 00:06:19,370 --> 00:06:21,700 And when he spoke, he released his energy. 105 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,800 The man rose, took up his bed, and 106 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,160 walked. 107 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:25,860 Go forward. 108 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,080 Revelation 19. 109 00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:30,080 The Lord is coming to establish his kingdom, 110 00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:33,100 coming to vanquish every foe. 111 00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:34,280 How will he do it? 112 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,200 Come on, brethren. 113 00:06:35,580 --> 00:06:39,280 He'll do it by speaking, says the inspired 114 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:39,780 writer. 115 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,700 Out of his mouth went a sharp sword 116 00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:45,780 with which he will vanquish his enemies. 117 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,080 The sword is for judgment. 118 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,760 The mouth is for speaking. 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,560 When he comes in that day, he'll never 120 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,400 strike a blow. 121 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,780 By the word of his mouth, he'll defeat 122 00:06:56,780 --> 00:06:57,460 every foe. 123 00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:00,700 But before that, he's coming for us. 124 00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:04,340 What a tremendous work awaits Christ. 125 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:10,160 Yonder, for centuries, the dead in Christ have 126 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:10,500 lain. 127 00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:16,260 On that day when he comes, millions of 128 00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:18,100 Christians will be alive. 129 00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:23,440 It will be his work to raise and 130 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,660 change the dead. 131 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,800 His work that day to transform the living. 132 00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:31,740 How will he do it? 133 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,240 He'll do it by speaking. 134 00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:39,740 The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with 135 00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:40,180 a shout. 136 00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:42,540 Come with me to Bethany for a moment, 137 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:42,960 please. 138 00:07:47,660 --> 00:07:50,620 Because the dead in Christ must rise. 139 00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:52,380 Watch now. 140 00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:55,260 Roll away the stone. 141 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,160 So roll it away, Allison. 142 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:05,350 Lazarus, hither, come! 143 00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:10,350 And the voice of Christ penetrated the spirit 144 00:08:10,350 --> 00:08:12,850 world and brought Lazarus back into his body. 145 00:08:17,410 --> 00:08:18,710 Now you say, I know what happened now. 146 00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:20,650 No, you don't. 147 00:08:21,190 --> 00:08:22,270 He walked out. 148 00:08:22,470 --> 00:08:23,090 No, he didn't. 149 00:08:23,090 --> 00:08:26,510 He was bound hand and foot with grave 150 00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:26,910 clothes. 151 00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:31,510 Resurrection is peculiarly the work of Christ. 152 00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:33,710 Now, but just a minute. 153 00:08:35,049 --> 00:08:35,570 Just a minute. 154 00:08:37,309 --> 00:08:40,470 The power that can raise one man can 155 00:08:40,470 --> 00:08:42,350 raise a million men if the same power 156 00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:43,090 will operate. 157 00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:47,610 If the same voice shall speak, come again. 158 00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:50,910 Lazarus is four days dead. 159 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:56,250 The process of corruption has already taken place. 160 00:08:56,730 --> 00:08:58,130 That's what concerned Martha. 161 00:08:58,490 --> 00:08:59,510 Behold, he stinketh. 162 00:09:00,330 --> 00:09:00,850 Now watch. 163 00:09:01,710 --> 00:09:03,690 The power that can raise a man four 164 00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:06,510 days dead can raise a man 4,000 165 00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:08,810 years dead if necessary. 166 00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:12,030 All that is required is that the same 167 00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:15,230 person come, that the same person speak, that 168 00:09:15,230 --> 00:09:17,010 the same person releases energy. 169 00:09:18,410 --> 00:09:19,950 Oh, the wonder. 170 00:09:20,570 --> 00:09:23,250 The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with 171 00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:23,710 a shout. 172 00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:28,410 And the dead in Christ shall rise first. 173 00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:30,830 What a moment when it takes place. 174 00:09:31,090 --> 00:09:31,910 Listen to what it says. 175 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,400 So also is the resurrection of the dead. 176 00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:43,740 It is sown in corruption. 177 00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:45,960 It is raised in incorruption. 178 00:09:46,420 --> 00:09:48,140 It is sown in dishonor. 179 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,800 It is raised in glory. 180 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,540 It is sown in weakness. 181 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,160 It is raised in power. 182 00:09:53,260 --> 00:09:55,160 It is sown a natural body. 183 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,900 It is raised a spiritual body. 184 00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:57,860 Listen again. 185 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,660 It is sown in corruption. 186 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,560 Ah, yes, that body will corrupt. 187 00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:06,980 It will disintegrate. 188 00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:08,080 It will decay. 189 00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:12,300 On that resurrection morning handled by the power 190 00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,640 of Christ, it will be raised in incorruption. 191 00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:18,760 Never will it decay, decompose anymore. 192 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:19,640 Listen. 193 00:10:20,340 --> 00:10:22,380 Raised in incorruption means this. 194 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:29,900 That it will maintain for all eternity its 195 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:31,220 original perfection. 196 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,060 Corruption is a moving away from an original 197 00:10:35,060 --> 00:10:35,660 condition. 198 00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:37,360 Now, right. 199 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,200 So that when it's raised in incorruption, it 200 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,420 means it will maintain its primitive splendor and 201 00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:47,160 perfection to all eternity. 202 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,420 Sown in dishonor, raised in glory. 203 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:58,080 Philippians 3, this vile body, this body of 204 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,680 humiliation fashioned like unto his body of glory. 205 00:11:02,540 --> 00:11:08,020 You see, this body goes down dishonored, shamed 206 00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:11,520 by the presence and practice of sin. 207 00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:14,860 How often, how often the blood is mounted 208 00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:17,160 to our cheek as we've thought of what 209 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,260 we've said and done. 210 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:28,740 It is sown in dishonor, shame, raised in 211 00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:29,380 glory. 212 00:11:30,620 --> 00:11:33,400 So that the dishonor that marked this body 213 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,960 will be absent from that body. 214 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,260 All the passions that cry for satisfaction will 215 00:11:40,260 --> 00:11:41,400 never be known again. 216 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,320 That body will be raised like unto Christ's 217 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,300 body of glory. 218 00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:50,160 There it is beautiful, resplendent, attractive. 219 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,260 There in all its symmetry and all its 220 00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:58,260 perfection, raised in glory, a body like unto 221 00:11:58,260 --> 00:11:59,360 his own body. 222 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Sown in weakness, raised in power. 223 00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:05,340 Do you read it like that? 224 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,160 Maybe you read it like this. 225 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,420 Sown in weakness, raised by power. 226 00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:12,400 Doesn't say that. 227 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,680 It says that body is sown in weakness. 228 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:22,600 You know, after all, it's only a fragile 229 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,620 tenement of clay. 230 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,000 How easily the strongest of us are cut 231 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,320 down. 232 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,600 It needs clothing to save it from the 233 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,140 elements, to shelter it. 234 00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:36,320 Hang the notice over, please, will you? 235 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,240 Fragile, handled with care. 236 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,980 But on that resurrection morning, Christ will raise 237 00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:47,220 it and he'll raise it in power, not 238 00:12:47,220 --> 00:12:48,660 by power, in power. 239 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:52,340 That is, as weakness marked this body, power 240 00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:53,500 will mark that body. 241 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,260 It will be a body instinct with energy, 242 00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:00,100 a body marked by inherent power through God's 243 00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:03,760 vast and wonderful creation will move swift as 244 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,640 the lightning's flash to serve God and Christ 245 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,440 eternally. 246 00:13:09,460 --> 00:13:11,520 Marked by inherent power. 247 00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:13,980 Never again shall we know sickness. 248 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,440 Never again shall we know breakdown. 249 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,980 Never again shall we know exhaustion. 250 00:13:20,620 --> 00:13:23,500 There in that body, a body marked by 251 00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:27,140 inherent power, we shall serve God and Christ 252 00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,700 forever and ever. 253 00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:31,900 It is sown a natural body. 254 00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:34,360 It is raised a spiritual body. 255 00:13:35,380 --> 00:13:37,560 That word natural, it is sown a soulish 256 00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:37,960 body. 257 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,320 It is raised a spiritual body. 258 00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:42,020 What does it mean? 259 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,860 It is sown a natural or soulish body. 260 00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:47,660 It means it's a body governed by the 261 00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:47,960 soul. 262 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:50,940 Isn't that right? 263 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,160 See, albeit you've got the spirit of God, 264 00:13:55,820 --> 00:13:57,320 there's been many a day when there was 265 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,780 tension. 266 00:13:58,460 --> 00:13:59,020 Isn't that right? 267 00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:02,040 And soul and spirit were in conflict. 268 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,780 The soul won the day. 269 00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:10,580 But it's a, it's a, this body governed 270 00:14:10,580 --> 00:14:15,900 by the soul is a perfect body as 271 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,260 far as the functioning of the senses are 272 00:14:18,260 --> 00:14:18,760 concerned. 273 00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:21,520 In that day it will be raised a 274 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,560 spiritual body. 275 00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:26,040 A body governed by the spirit. 276 00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:27,680 But just a minute. 277 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,320 How can you have a body and it 278 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:30,800 be spiritual? 279 00:14:33,710 --> 00:14:35,870 What does it mean when it says it's 280 00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:37,350 raised a spiritual body? 281 00:14:38,430 --> 00:14:39,810 Well, now I'll tell you what it does 282 00:14:39,810 --> 00:14:40,030 mean. 283 00:14:40,110 --> 00:14:41,170 And then I'll tell you what it does 284 00:14:41,170 --> 00:14:41,390 mean. 285 00:14:42,330 --> 00:14:44,290 When it says it is raised a spiritual 286 00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:47,330 body, it does not mean a body composed 287 00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:47,890 of spirit. 288 00:14:48,510 --> 00:14:50,130 What it does mean is it's a body 289 00:14:50,130 --> 00:14:51,330 that will express spirit. 290 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:55,090 And if you want to know something of 291 00:14:55,090 --> 00:14:58,530 that spiritual body, you read the resurrection chapters. 292 00:14:59,930 --> 00:15:02,370 For the body in which Christ was here 293 00:15:02,370 --> 00:15:04,550 for 40 days is the body in which 294 00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:05,270 he went to heaven. 295 00:15:06,410 --> 00:15:10,030 There you'll find it's a body that's not 296 00:15:10,030 --> 00:15:12,610 governed by the laws that govern this body. 297 00:15:14,690 --> 00:15:17,830 There you'll find that it's a tangible body. 298 00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:21,570 A spirit hath not flesh and bone as 299 00:15:21,570 --> 00:15:22,510 you see me have. 300 00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:31,830 It's nothing ethereal, nothing ghost-like, handle me 301 00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:32,310 and see. 302 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,880 It's a body that could appear and disappear 303 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,180 as he prepared them for the permanence of 304 00:15:41,180 --> 00:15:41,680 his going. 305 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,980 It's raised a spiritual body. 306 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,740 We which are alive and remain, so there 307 00:15:52,740 --> 00:15:57,060 are thousands of living believers to be changed. 308 00:15:57,340 --> 00:15:59,080 Listen to the inspired writer. 309 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,280 Behold, I show you a mystery. 310 00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:03,860 We shall not all sleep, but we shall 311 00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:06,040 all be changed in a moment in the 312 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,300 twinkling of an eye at the last trump. 313 00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:11,400 Behold, I show you a mystery. 314 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,720 Two questions, please. 315 00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:14,880 One, what is a mystery? 316 00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:17,860 Two, what is this mystery? 317 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,200 Now, in dealing with this word mystery, it 318 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,100 will give me the opportunity to draw your 319 00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:28,540 attention to the fact that it is folly 320 00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:32,020 to try and interpret your New Testament with 321 00:16:32,020 --> 00:16:34,100 an English dictionary, for it was written in 322 00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:34,360 Greek. 323 00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:36,380 Got that? 324 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,980 What is a mystery? 325 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,760 Well, now in English, the word mystery means 326 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,480 something that's mysterious, something that's hidden. 327 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,520 In your New Testament, a mystery is something 328 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,940 that is revealed at the time that God 329 00:16:55,940 --> 00:16:57,060 chose to reveal it. 330 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,380 That which was kept secret from the world 331 00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:04,359 since the world began, but now is made 332 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:04,859 manifest. 333 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,260 A mystery is something that is revealed at 334 00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,220 the time that God chooses to reveal it. 335 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,700 Now, what is this mystery? 336 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,160 Well, now they say, well, now this is 337 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,500 the mystery of the rapture, but just a 338 00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:19,720 minute, you never leave the earth in 1 339 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,619 Corinthians 15. 340 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,839 Is that right? 341 00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:26,880 Behold, I show you a mystery. 342 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,040 We shall not all sleep, but we shall 343 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,880 all be changed in a moment in the 344 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,720 twinkling of an eye at the last trump, 345 00:17:32,980 --> 00:17:35,540 for the trumpet shall sound, the dead shall 346 00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:37,860 be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 347 00:17:38,140 --> 00:17:40,400 You never leave the ground, the earth in 348 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,560 1 Corinthians 15. 349 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,020 You see, when you read that, you read 350 00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:46,460 it in the context of 1 Thessalonians 4, 351 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,900 and you're perfectly right to do that, but 352 00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:50,380 you must put them both together. 353 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,420 The change here is the mystery of the 354 00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:55,540 change that will take place at the rapture. 355 00:17:56,220 --> 00:17:59,600 We shall not all die, sleep, but we 356 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,700 shall all be changed. 357 00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:03,940 That's the death blow to partial rapture. 358 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,700 Come again. 359 00:18:06,140 --> 00:18:07,980 We shall not all sleep, but we shall 360 00:18:07,980 --> 00:18:09,180 all be changed. 361 00:18:09,940 --> 00:18:11,900 The change will take place in a moment 362 00:18:11,900 --> 00:18:14,640 in the twinkling of an eye at the 363 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,280 last trump. 364 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,660 Let me deal with that. 365 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,260 In a moment. 366 00:18:19,460 --> 00:18:24,460 Now, a moment is the smallest possible divisible 367 00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:25,500 point of time. 368 00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:26,740 Got that? 369 00:18:27,220 --> 00:18:31,880 A moment is the smallest possible divisible point 370 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,420 of time. 371 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,620 Let me illustrate. 372 00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:42,440 A year, a month, a week, a day, 373 00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:51,520 an hour, a minute, a second, a moment. 374 00:18:52,140 --> 00:18:52,980 As quick as that. 375 00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:54,180 Got that? 376 00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:56,080 In the twinkling of an eye. 377 00:18:58,620 --> 00:19:01,600 Sometimes they say, well, now, it's just like 378 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,620 when your lid drops. 379 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:03,900 Well, that's quick enough. 380 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:10,640 The twinkling of an eye at the last 381 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,060 trump. 382 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,540 What would that mean? 383 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,060 Well, the scholars we've been hearing so much 384 00:19:19,060 --> 00:19:22,040 about tell us that it's an allusion to 385 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,760 the Roman army, well known in the Greek 386 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,120 world. 387 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080 The first trumpet, you strike calm. 388 00:19:29,860 --> 00:19:32,520 The second trumpet, you're marshaled. 389 00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:35,660 The last trump and you're off. 390 00:19:35,940 --> 00:19:36,960 Well, that's possibly right. 391 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080 Don't believe anyone that tells you, please, it's 392 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,620 the last in a series, for there weren't 393 00:19:41,620 --> 00:19:42,340 any before it. 394 00:19:45,530 --> 00:19:47,710 Very simply, I believe it's the last sound 395 00:19:47,710 --> 00:19:48,570 that we'll hear on earth. 396 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:54,680 Now, you might say to me, but just 397 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,860 a minute, you're not trying to tell us 398 00:19:56,860 --> 00:19:57,980 it's a literal trumpet. 399 00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:59,720 Now, that's very good that you arrived at 400 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,600 that conclusion, but that's just what I'm saying. 401 00:20:04,020 --> 00:20:05,480 Well, now you say to me, just a 402 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,420 minute, I have heard those dealing with first 403 00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:11,760 Corinthians, first Thessalonians 4 and first Corinthians 15, 404 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,480 and they've spiritualized the trumpet. 405 00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:18,020 Well, now I'm not here to criticize my 406 00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:19,420 brethren, far be that. 407 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,200 I'm only here to tell you what the 408 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:22,840 passage means. 409 00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:28,430 What does it say? 410 00:20:29,910 --> 00:20:33,010 At the last trump, for the trumpet shall 411 00:20:33,010 --> 00:20:33,730 sound. 412 00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:36,150 So it's going to sound. 413 00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:38,390 Not such a quiet affair as we've been 414 00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:41,170 led to believe, but possibly it's like John 415 00:20:41,170 --> 00:20:42,790 12 and Acts 9. 416 00:20:43,370 --> 00:20:45,830 In John 12, the father spoke to the 417 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:49,790 son, the folks around thought it thundered, but 418 00:20:49,790 --> 00:20:52,230 he heard clearly and distinctly. 419 00:20:53,030 --> 00:20:57,350 So it says, the last trump, the trumpet 420 00:20:57,350 --> 00:21:02,050 shall sound, the dead shall be raised incorruptible 421 00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:04,390 and we shall be changed. 422 00:21:04,510 --> 00:21:06,950 Back to first Thessalonians 4 now, please, will 423 00:21:06,950 --> 00:21:07,050 you? 424 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:09,510 Then we which arrive and remain shall be 425 00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:10,150 caught up. 426 00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:12,850 Well, think of it for a moment. 427 00:21:13,390 --> 00:21:14,450 Christ has descended. 428 00:21:15,630 --> 00:21:18,850 Can you see him yonder centered in the 429 00:21:18,850 --> 00:21:23,710 aerial and astronomical heavens yonder far above earth 430 00:21:23,710 --> 00:21:24,430 for everyone? 431 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:25,050 Yes. 432 00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:32,800 And as soon as he shouts, he raises 433 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,280 the dead changed. 434 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,160 He changes the living and immediately, like steel 435 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,540 to a magnet, we make for Christ by 436 00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:47,080 an outside power. 437 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,520 We are translated. 438 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,780 It's not ascension. 439 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,200 Christ ascended in his own power. 440 00:21:57,340 --> 00:21:59,220 This is an external power. 441 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,960 We are caught up, snatched away, quickly, unexpectedly 442 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,700 glorified. 443 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,400 Gloriously. 444 00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:11,140 We shall be caught up together for the 445 00:22:11,140 --> 00:22:11,680 first time. 446 00:22:11,820 --> 00:22:13,060 The whole church shall be together. 447 00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:15,580 Oh, what that will mean to Christ. 448 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:24,320 The whole church gathered together in a very 449 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,260 secondary way. 450 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,900 It indicates that we're going to be together. 451 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,680 I know that there are some who teach 452 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,740 that when the dead are raised first, we'll 453 00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:33,920 all and we are changed. 454 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,100 We'll all there'll be reunion on earth before 455 00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:36,680 we go there. 456 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,920 That's what I call reading between the lines. 457 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:42,480 But nevertheless, nevertheless, we're all going to be 458 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:42,840 together. 459 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,580 And who could who could pass an occasion 460 00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:51,620 like this without speaking of the wonder of 461 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:52,080 reunion? 462 00:22:54,180 --> 00:22:55,600 To meet the Lord. 463 00:22:57,180 --> 00:22:59,680 Caught up together to meet the Lord. 464 00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:02,960 The revelation of his person. 465 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:08,500 You know, brothers and sisters, I wasn't reared 466 00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:09,460 in a Christian home. 467 00:23:13,780 --> 00:23:17,660 I have a deep longing to meet the 468 00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:25,180 man who not only change my destiny, but 469 00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:26,460 transform my life. 470 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 I have no idea what he looks like. 471 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,720 Don't pay too much attention to the artist's 472 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,080 impression. 473 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,300 Isn't it amazing that you read your New 474 00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:40,180 Testament and you have no idea what Christ 475 00:23:40,180 --> 00:23:41,120 looked like physically? 476 00:23:44,490 --> 00:23:47,570 Oh, we've heard talk today about moral glory. 477 00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:53,870 We've heard phrase after phrase announcing his preeminence 478 00:23:53,870 --> 00:23:57,410 and perfection and supremacy and sovereignty. 479 00:23:58,970 --> 00:24:01,970 We've listened to the Baptist witness to the 480 00:24:01,970 --> 00:24:02,610 Christ. 481 00:24:04,750 --> 00:24:07,570 Brethren, I believe that he's far more wonderful, 482 00:24:07,830 --> 00:24:09,690 far more beautiful than ever. 483 00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:11,610 My tiny mind is conceived. 484 00:24:12,430 --> 00:24:14,430 I believe that Christ is wonderful. 485 00:24:14,790 --> 00:24:15,470 He's perfect. 486 00:24:15,690 --> 00:24:16,450 He's beautiful. 487 00:24:16,910 --> 00:24:23,030 He transcends any thought of perfection and manhood 488 00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:25,090 that we have ever known. 489 00:24:26,050 --> 00:24:27,890 We're going to meet the Lord. 490 00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:33,930 He'll stand out yonder amongst the crowds in 491 00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:41,530 the heavens, central to his gathered bride, Christ, 492 00:24:41,530 --> 00:24:44,210 to meet the Lord in the air. 493 00:24:45,070 --> 00:24:46,130 Why in the air? 494 00:24:46,330 --> 00:24:46,930 Two reasons. 495 00:24:48,170 --> 00:24:51,450 Number one, it's been there that Satan has 496 00:24:51,450 --> 00:24:53,570 operated as the prince and power of the 497 00:24:53,570 --> 00:24:53,870 air. 498 00:24:54,570 --> 00:24:55,370 Think of it. 499 00:24:55,650 --> 00:24:57,710 Think of the impotence of Satan. 500 00:24:57,890 --> 00:25:01,830 That all these ransomed beings will make for 501 00:25:01,830 --> 00:25:04,390 Christ through his domain, and he can't stop 502 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:04,670 it. 503 00:25:06,050 --> 00:25:10,370 Absolutely helpless and impotent as the redeemed throng 504 00:25:10,370 --> 00:25:11,750 make for Christ. 505 00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:14,030 Oh, what a gathering that will be. 506 00:25:14,370 --> 00:25:15,950 And Satan and his host will just need 507 00:25:15,950 --> 00:25:17,010 to stand and watch. 508 00:25:17,950 --> 00:25:18,630 Watch now. 509 00:25:19,570 --> 00:25:23,350 But in the air, in the air, because 510 00:25:23,350 --> 00:25:25,150 that's the only place that could hold us. 511 00:25:26,030 --> 00:25:29,930 Ten thousand times, ten thousand and thousands of 512 00:25:29,930 --> 00:25:33,650 thousands shall gather together, marshalled in the air. 513 00:25:34,690 --> 00:25:38,850 And everywhere you look, you'll see thousands upon 514 00:25:38,850 --> 00:25:43,090 thousands of redeemed humanity gathered around Christ. 515 00:25:43,830 --> 00:25:46,710 Oh, can you hear Christ saying, behold, I 516 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:49,130 and the children which God has given me, 517 00:25:52,170 --> 00:25:53,830 so shall we ever be. 518 00:25:54,610 --> 00:25:56,330 Eternity is dawned. 519 00:25:58,370 --> 00:26:02,550 Dawned in its fullness, in its richness, in 520 00:26:02,550 --> 00:26:03,650 its completeness. 521 00:26:04,950 --> 00:26:08,550 Eternity will have substance to our experience in 522 00:26:08,550 --> 00:26:09,110 that day. 523 00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:15,020 This is just the beginning of the ages 524 00:26:15,020 --> 00:26:15,800 of ages. 525 00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:26,910 So shall we ever be with the Lord. 526 00:26:28,390 --> 00:26:29,770 I want to talk to you about heaven. 527 00:26:31,650 --> 00:26:32,910 Now, this is not easy. 528 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,220 Listen to me for a moment. 529 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,860 Can you see that first scene in heaven 530 00:26:41,860 --> 00:26:48,300 when we're all there and suddenly Christ manifests 531 00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:53,560 his glory, displays his splendor, uncovers his excellence, 532 00:26:54,140 --> 00:26:55,280 manifests his majesty. 533 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,700 And that manifestation of Christ will prepare us 534 00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:01,360 for the next. 535 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,520 And in the next situation in heaven, he'll 536 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,100 display glory, manifest power, uncover excellence, and that 537 00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:10,520 will prepare us for the next. 538 00:27:11,260 --> 00:27:14,220 For just as he never manifested himself in 539 00:27:14,220 --> 00:27:16,440 the same way down here, so up there, 540 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,180 every manifestation of Christ will be different. 541 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,060 And that will go on and on into 542 00:27:22,060 --> 00:27:23,580 the depths of eternity. 543 00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:25,220 Think of it. 544 00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:30,160 Constantly Christ manifesting himself, moving the whole of 545 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,120 heaven at the time. 546 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,720 Every eye upon him, drinking in something of 547 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,220 the glory of his person, of the wonder 548 00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:41,180 and excellence of himself. 549 00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:44,040 And brethren and sisters, we'll never reach the 550 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,080 end of Christ. 551 00:27:46,260 --> 00:27:48,000 There'll never come a time when we'll say 552 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,140 we know it all. 553 00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:50,860 We've seen it all. 554 00:27:50,860 --> 00:27:53,560 For there are depths in Christ that we'll 555 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,340 never fathom. 556 00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:57,520 There's a fullness and perfection in Christ, and 557 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,280 we'll never reach the end of him. 558 00:27:59,660 --> 00:28:01,880 And up yonder in the glory, as he 559 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,380 uncovers excellence, as he manifests splendor, as he 560 00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:09,880 displays glory, maybe, maybe just for a moment, 561 00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:15,540 our eyes shall go back to Vancouver and 562 00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:23,240 Liverpool and we'll look at Christ and we'll 563 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,680 wonder, brethren, why it was we never learned 564 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,800 to trust him more. 565 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,180 When we can see in eternity the glory 566 00:28:32,180 --> 00:28:35,500 and wonder of Christ, as he fills all 567 00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:38,060 heaven and all eternity. 568 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,420 Oh, brethren, what a wonderful person. 569 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,940 What a day, glorious day that will be. 570 00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:48,090 Tell me, tell me. 571 00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:50,710 Have you ever tried to visualize it? 572 00:28:52,270 --> 00:28:54,310 Have you ever tried to think of stepping 573 00:28:54,310 --> 00:28:56,750 onto a shore and finding it to be 574 00:28:56,750 --> 00:28:56,990 heaven? 575 00:29:01,710 --> 00:29:06,370 Ever thought of breathing in air and finding 576 00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:07,230 it to be celestial? 577 00:29:09,810 --> 00:29:12,690 Ever thought of feeling the throbbings of life 578 00:29:12,690 --> 00:29:15,010 and finding it to be the life that 579 00:29:15,010 --> 00:29:15,670 is eternal? 580 00:29:17,570 --> 00:29:21,850 Ever thought of grasping a hand and finding 581 00:29:21,850 --> 00:29:23,150 it to be the hand of Christ? 582 00:29:24,170 --> 00:29:28,110 Ever thought of looking into a face to 583 00:29:28,110 --> 00:29:29,930 find it to be the face of Christ? 584 00:29:30,590 --> 00:29:33,710 Oh, what a day, glorious day that will 585 00:29:33,710 --> 00:29:34,090 be. 586 00:29:34,410 --> 00:29:37,150 When we look upon his face, him who 587 00:29:37,150 --> 00:29:38,690 saved us by his grace. 588 00:29:38,990 --> 00:29:41,410 When he takes us by the hand, leads 589 00:29:41,410 --> 00:29:43,110 us through the promised land. 590 00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:46,790 What a day, glorious day that will be. 591 00:29:47,130 --> 00:29:49,110 I tell you, earth has nothing on this. 592 00:29:49,970 --> 00:29:51,550 It's bonnie spots. 593 00:29:51,730 --> 00:29:52,930 Do you understand the word bonnie? 594 00:29:52,970 --> 00:29:54,070 It's a good old Scots word. 595 00:29:54,570 --> 00:29:59,670 Yes, all earth's beautiful beauty shall be gone 596 00:29:59,670 --> 00:30:03,570 completely by reason of a glory that excels 597 00:30:03,570 --> 00:30:06,790 us and central to all heaven, central to 598 00:30:06,790 --> 00:30:09,970 the Father's house, central to the administration that 599 00:30:09,970 --> 00:30:10,790 is eternal. 600 00:30:10,790 --> 00:30:16,270 There Christ shall be, filling it all and 601 00:30:16,270 --> 00:30:19,150 each one of us taking in something of 602 00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,810 his wonder and perfection and glory. 603 00:30:22,170 --> 00:30:23,910 Oh, I want to make Christ big. 604 00:30:25,550 --> 00:30:27,650 I want you to recognize how great he 605 00:30:27,650 --> 00:30:28,170 is. 606 00:30:28,850 --> 00:30:31,250 For this one that fills eternity can fill 607 00:30:31,250 --> 00:30:33,150 our hearts and our lives. 608 00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:45,570 Say, say, up yonder 609 00:30:45,570 --> 00:30:50,250 when we look at Christ, oh, you've heard 610 00:30:50,250 --> 00:30:55,650 this before, as we look at Christ, we'll 611 00:30:55,650 --> 00:31:00,830 begin to realize that what we sang down 612 00:31:00,830 --> 00:31:02,870 here was only too true. 613 00:31:09,540 --> 00:31:15,020 Brethren, tell me, deep down, now be honest, 614 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,760 deep down, do you not feel a lack? 615 00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:23,520 Do you not feel at times you're not 616 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,820 responding as you should? 617 00:31:29,330 --> 00:31:32,990 Do you ever feel that despite all your 618 00:31:32,990 --> 00:31:36,470 activity, it's not being done the way it 619 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:37,050 should be done? 620 00:31:40,130 --> 00:31:43,490 By and by, when I look on his 621 00:31:43,490 --> 00:31:51,330 face, beautiful face, thorn-shadowed face, by and 622 00:31:51,330 --> 00:31:55,030 by, when I look on his face, I'll 623 00:31:55,030 --> 00:32:01,230 wish I had given him more, more, so 624 00:32:01,230 --> 00:32:06,210 much more, more of my life than I've 625 00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:07,270 ever given before. 626 00:32:08,690 --> 00:32:11,430 By and by, when I look on his 627 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:16,050 face, I'll wish I had given him more. 628 00:32:16,370 --> 00:32:19,230 Oh, Christ, oh, Christ, we love thee. 629 00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:26,860 Oh, Lord, we've never been what we ought 630 00:32:26,860 --> 00:32:27,380 to be. 631 00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:31,380 But oh, in our heart of hearts, we 632 00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:31,860 love thee. 633 00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:35,660 We want to be bigger and better. 634 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,940 By and by, when we kneel at thy 635 00:32:40,940 --> 00:32:48,100 feet, beautiful feet, nail-pierced feet, by and 636 00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:52,680 by, when we kneel at thy feet, we'll 637 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,320 wish we had given thee more, more, so 638 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:03,000 much more, more of my life than I've 639 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,160 ever given before. 640 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,500 By and by, when I kneel at his 641 00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:12,900 feet, I'll wish I had given him.
