1
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:02,602
Are you worried
2
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:04,270
about the apocalypse?
3
00:00:04,337 --> 00:00:05,772
A lot of people are.
4
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:06,740
Some even talk
5
00:00:06,806 --> 00:00:08,942
of "apocalypse anxiety,"
6
00:00:09,008 --> 00:00:10,977
that is, the feeling
7
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:12,746
that the world will end,
8
00:00:12,812 --> 00:00:13,780
by any number
9
00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:15,215
of calamities,
10
00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:16,216
and there's nothing
11
00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:17,984
we can do about it.
12
00:00:18,051 --> 00:00:20,253
Do you ever worry about the end
13
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,554
of the world?
14
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:22,622
The Bible reveals
15
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,958
hard times are coming.
16
00:00:25,024 --> 00:00:25,959
But should we
17
00:00:26,025 --> 00:00:27,427
be distressed about it?
18
00:00:27,494 --> 00:00:30,530
Is fear of the future
19
00:00:30,597 --> 00:00:32,632
irrational and unnecessary?
20
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,134
And can a clear understanding
21
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,135
of Scripture
22
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:36,169
actually give us hope
23
00:00:36,236 --> 00:00:38,071
and encouragement?
24
00:00:38,138 --> 00:00:40,206
Let's explore this subject today
25
00:00:40,273 --> 00:00:41,808
and discover the truth,
26
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:44,110
as we uncover four myths
27
00:00:44,177 --> 00:00:45,378
of the Apocalypse.
28
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:55,054
♪
29
00:00:55,121 --> 00:00:56,856
Welcome to Tomorrow's World.
30
00:00:56,923 --> 00:00:58,425
The world
31
00:00:58,491 --> 00:00:59,426
of entertainment
32
00:00:59,492 --> 00:01:00,593
is really the heartbeat
33
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:01,594
of a culture.
34
00:01:01,661 --> 00:01:03,363
It reflects society's
35
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:06,399
values, hopes and fears.
36
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:07,400
What does our
37
00:01:07,467 --> 00:01:09,702
entertainment say about us?
38
00:01:09,769 --> 00:01:11,738
I think most of us would agree,
39
00:01:11,805 --> 00:01:12,739
our entertainment says
40
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:13,873
we are obsessed with
41
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:15,508
the end of the world.
42
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:17,043
And it's not just
43
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:18,645
in recent times.
44
00:01:18,711 --> 00:01:19,746
Consider H.G. Wells' book
45
00:01:19,813 --> 00:01:21,881
The War of the Worlds,
46
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:24,617
published back in 1897.
47
00:01:24,684 --> 00:01:25,618
It was read
48
00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:26,619
on the air
49
00:01:26,686 --> 00:01:28,455
on October 30, 1938,
50
00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:30,957
in the form of a radio drama.
51
00:01:31,024 --> 00:01:32,492
Some mistakenly thought
52
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:34,093
it was the news report
53
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,662
of Martians taking over
54
00:01:35,728 --> 00:01:36,629
New York,
55
00:01:36,696 --> 00:01:37,664
and it caused panic
56
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:39,666
among some listeners.
57
00:01:39,732 --> 00:01:40,667
Since then,
58
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:42,368
countless movies have been made
59
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:44,404
about aliens, invasions,
60
00:01:44,471 --> 00:01:46,239
and the end of the world.
61
00:01:46,306 --> 00:01:47,874
Who can forget
62
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:50,276
the gripping title of 1955's
63
00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:51,377
The Invasion
64
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,079
of the Body Snatchers,
65
00:01:53,146 --> 00:01:54,681
or lesser-known movies
66
00:01:54,747 --> 00:01:56,616
like 1962's
67
00:01:56,683 --> 00:01:58,551
Panic in Year Zero?
68
00:01:58,618 --> 00:02:00,119
In more recent years,
69
00:02:00,186 --> 00:02:01,120
we've had
70
00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:02,121
Armageddon,
71
00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:03,122
Independence Day,
72
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:04,123
and of course,
73
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:05,124
the ever-popular
74
00:02:05,191 --> 00:02:06,693
Avengers movies.
75
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:08,194
If you think the number
76
00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:09,996
of apocalyptic movies is
77
00:02:10,063 --> 00:02:11,664
increasing with each year,
78
00:02:11,731 --> 00:02:13,099
you're right.
79
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:14,434
In 2016,
80
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:15,602
renowned author
81
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:18,338
and Colgate University professor
82
00:02:18,404 --> 00:02:19,906
Dr. Anthony Aveni
83
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:21,741
wrote a book entitled
84
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:24,010
Apocalyptic Anxiety:
85
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:25,778
Religion, Science,
86
00:02:25,845 --> 00:02:27,380
and America's Obsession
87
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:29,382
with the End of the World.
88
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:30,650
In it he explained:
89
00:02:53,973 --> 00:02:55,909
Society is obsessed
90
00:02:55,975 --> 00:02:57,210
with the end
91
00:02:57,277 --> 00:02:58,645
of the world.
92
00:02:58,711 --> 00:03:00,213
And most of these fictions
93
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,581
present what is called
94
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:02,582
a dystopian picture
95
00:03:02,649 --> 00:03:04,117
of the world
96
00:03:04,183 --> 00:03:05,218
That is,
97
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:08,254
a future when society collapses,
98
00:03:08,321 --> 00:03:10,089
order disintegrates,
99
00:03:10,156 --> 00:03:11,624
and there is great suffering
100
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:12,926
for humanity.
101
00:03:12,992 --> 00:03:14,994
When monsters and zombies
102
00:03:15,061 --> 00:03:16,095
lurk from behind
103
00:03:16,162 --> 00:03:18,164
every burned-out, smoking
104
00:03:18,231 --> 00:03:19,499
pile of rubble,
105
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:21,134
waiting to terrorize
106
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,937
desperate human survivors.
107
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:26,039
You get the picture.
108
00:03:26,105 --> 00:03:27,473
It's only entertainment though,
109
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:28,474
right?
110
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:29,509
I mean we don't
111
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:30,877
take these movies seriously,
112
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:32,011
do we?
113
00:03:32,078 --> 00:03:33,813
We know they're fiction,
114
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,748
just a harmless two hours
115
00:03:35,815 --> 00:03:37,383
of fun.
116
00:03:37,450 --> 00:03:38,618
But stop and think:
117
00:03:38,685 --> 00:03:40,019
Is there some level
118
00:03:40,086 --> 00:03:41,287
of primal fear
119
00:03:41,354 --> 00:03:43,256
behind this growing genre
120
00:03:43,323 --> 00:03:45,024
of entertainment?
121
00:03:45,091 --> 00:03:46,025
And some
122
00:03:46,092 --> 00:03:47,060
of them don't describe
123
00:03:47,126 --> 00:03:48,628
aliens coming to earth,
124
00:03:48,695 --> 00:03:50,330
but rather global collapse
125
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:52,632
from climate change.
126
00:03:52,699 --> 00:03:53,633
They predict
127
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,168
the polar ice cap will melt,
128
00:03:55,234 --> 00:03:57,837
or CO 2 levels will increase
129
00:03:57,904 --> 00:03:59,939
to dangerous levels,
130
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:01,708
and coastal cities will
131
00:04:01,774 --> 00:04:02,842
be inundated.
132
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:03,843
Or maybe
133
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:05,878
an asteroid will crash to earth.
134
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:06,879
Regardless,
135
00:04:06,946 --> 00:04:08,481
when you look under the surface,
136
00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:09,716
though it's fiction,
137
00:04:09,782 --> 00:04:11,451
there's something behind this.
138
00:04:11,517 --> 00:04:13,019
They are playing
139
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,988
on the real fears
140
00:04:15,054 --> 00:04:17,223
of real people.
141
00:04:17,290 --> 00:04:19,225
Now, it is true that
142
00:04:19,292 --> 00:04:20,760
horrific events will happen
143
00:04:20,827 --> 00:04:22,195
in our world.
144
00:04:22,262 --> 00:04:23,496
Jesus Himself
145
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:24,631
said there will be
146
00:04:24,697 --> 00:04:26,199
great distress
147
00:04:26,265 --> 00:04:27,867
in the future.
148
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:30,103
In Luke 21, verse 25
149
00:04:30,169 --> 00:04:31,237
He said this...
150
00:04:48,221 --> 00:04:49,989
But in the same section,
151
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:51,491
we read of a different
152
00:04:51,557 --> 00:04:52,659
response from people
153
00:04:52,725 --> 00:04:54,661
who are aware of the truth,
154
00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:55,995
preparing for it,
155
00:04:56,062 --> 00:04:57,163
and ready.
156
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:59,165
This is in Luke 21:28...
157
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:11,878
How can we make sure
158
00:05:11,944 --> 00:05:13,713
we have this mind-set
159
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:15,481
when these things happen?
160
00:05:15,548 --> 00:05:16,983
That's why we're talking
161
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:18,184
about it today
162
00:05:18,251 --> 00:05:20,186
on this program.
163
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:21,187
You see,
164
00:05:21,254 --> 00:05:22,989
if we expose the erroneous myths
165
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:23,990
about the future,
166
00:05:24,057 --> 00:05:25,692
we can have greater confidence
167
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:27,994
and peace in our lives today.
168
00:05:28,061 --> 00:05:30,029
Who doesn't want that?
169
00:05:30,096 --> 00:05:32,432
So let's look at four myths
170
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:34,100
of the apocalypse,
171
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,503
to separate truth from fiction.
172
00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:38,671
Myth Number One:
173
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:44,977
To most, the word
174
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:46,979
"apocalypse" refers to
175
00:05:47,046 --> 00:05:48,281
"the end of the world."
176
00:05:48,347 --> 00:05:49,849
But does the word "apocalypse"
177
00:05:49,916 --> 00:05:51,751
really mean that?
178
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:53,286
Many of our regular viewers
179
00:05:53,352 --> 00:05:54,554
will know the answer,
180
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:56,322
but I'll explain it here.
181
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:57,323
The last book
182
00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:58,624
of the Bible is called
183
00:05:58,691 --> 00:05:59,625
"The Revelation
184
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:00,793
of Jesus Christ."
185
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:01,761
The word "revelation"
186
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,396
is just the English word
187
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:05,898
translated from a Greek word,
188
00:06:05,965 --> 00:06:07,433
apokalypsis.
189
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,702
We find apokalypsis used
190
00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:10,803
in the original Greek
191
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:12,572
in the first verse
192
00:06:12,638 --> 00:06:13,606
of the first chapter
193
00:06:13,673 --> 00:06:14,907
of Revelation.
194
00:06:14,974 --> 00:06:16,109
Notice what it says...
195
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:28,387
"Revelation" and apokalypsis
196
00:06:28,454 --> 00:06:30,056
mean the same thing:
197
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,391
an uncovering, an unveiling,
198
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:34,527
or a revealing.
199
00:06:34,594 --> 00:06:35,628
The word doesn't
200
00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:37,096
necessarily mean a meltdown
201
00:06:37,163 --> 00:06:38,297
of society.
202
00:06:38,364 --> 00:06:40,666
So why has the word apocalypse
203
00:06:40,733 --> 00:06:41,667
come to mean,
204
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:43,703
in popular usage,
205
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:45,304
the dramatic collapse
206
00:06:45,371 --> 00:06:46,873
and end of something?
207
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,307
Well, because the Book
208
00:06:48,374 --> 00:06:49,609
of Revelation,
209
00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:50,910
or The Apocalypse,
210
00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:52,912
does contain a series
211
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:54,914
of visions revealing sobering
212
00:06:54,981 --> 00:06:56,582
events to happen
213
00:06:56,649 --> 00:06:58,518
in the last days.
214
00:06:58,584 --> 00:06:59,819
But notice the focus
215
00:06:59,886 --> 00:07:00,820
and purpose
216
00:07:00,887 --> 00:07:02,388
of the book of Revelation:
217
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:05,124
to reveal.
218
00:07:05,191 --> 00:07:06,159
Your Savior,
219
00:07:06,225 --> 00:07:07,360
the Son of God,
220
00:07:07,426 --> 00:07:08,628
commissioned John
221
00:07:08,694 --> 00:07:11,030
to write down what he saw,
222
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,432
so the future would be foretold,
223
00:07:13,499 --> 00:07:14,433
what was hidden
224
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:15,902
would be uncovered.
225
00:07:15,968 --> 00:07:17,336
He wanted His people
226
00:07:17,403 --> 00:07:18,905
to not be confused
227
00:07:18,971 --> 00:07:20,406
about the future,
228
00:07:20,473 --> 00:07:21,707
but be enlightened
229
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,209
and encouraged by knowing
230
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,443
the truth.
231
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:26,345
Was the Book of Revelation
232
00:07:26,412 --> 00:07:28,581
meant to be a message of doom?
233
00:07:28,648 --> 00:07:29,982
Not at all.
234
00:07:30,049 --> 00:07:31,350
In fact, read on
235
00:07:31,417 --> 00:07:32,351
in Revelation
236
00:07:32,418 --> 00:07:34,053
chapter 1 verse 3...
237
00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:45,832
You can be blessed for
238
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,600
reading this Book.
239
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,068
It's the God of Heaven
240
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:51,103
and Earth talking to you.
241
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:52,371
You can be blessed
242
00:07:52,438 --> 00:07:53,773
for listening to His message,
243
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,274
doing what He says,
244
00:07:55,341 --> 00:07:57,109
and keeping the words
245
00:07:57,176 --> 00:07:58,544
written in it.
246
00:07:58,611 --> 00:08:00,112
Maybe you've been confused
247
00:08:00,179 --> 00:08:01,113
reading the Book
248
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:02,114
of Revelation.
249
00:08:02,181 --> 00:08:03,149
Don't give up!
250
00:08:03,216 --> 00:08:04,450
You need to know what's
251
00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:05,451
in this book!
252
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:06,752
God had it recorded
253
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:08,254
so that it would open
254
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,288
our understanding,
255
00:08:09,355 --> 00:08:12,024

309
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:01,067
In the last segment
310
00:10:01,133 --> 00:10:02,068
of this program,
311
00:10:02,134 --> 00:10:03,369
we saw that the word
312
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:04,370
"apocalypse"
313
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:05,738
comes from a Greek word
314
00:10:05,805 --> 00:10:06,739
that just means
315
00:10:06,806 --> 00:10:07,740
an uncovering.
316
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:09,675
It doesn't necessarily mean
317
00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:11,911
doom for all mankind.
318
00:10:11,978 --> 00:10:13,446
And so the book of Revelation,
319
00:10:13,512 --> 00:10:14,680
or we might say,
320
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:15,748
"The Apocalypse,"
321
00:10:15,815 --> 00:10:17,984
was intended to open
322
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:19,018
our understanding
323
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:20,486
about the future.
324
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:21,587
Which brings us
325
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:22,955
to the second myth
326
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:24,890
about the apocalypse:
327
00:10:32,331 --> 00:10:33,299
The Book of Revelation
328
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:34,300
does speak
329
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:36,202
of a coming Great Tribulation,
330
00:10:36,268 --> 00:10:37,303
the worst time
331
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:39,005
of trouble ever.
332
00:10:39,071 --> 00:10:40,773
Many professing Christians
333
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:41,907
stake their hope
334
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:43,676
on being raptured
335
00:10:43,743 --> 00:10:45,945
to escape the Tribulation.
336
00:10:46,012 --> 00:10:46,946
But is that
337
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:50,049
what the Bible says will happen?
338
00:10:50,116 --> 00:10:52,018
The Book of Revelation
339
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:53,185
does describe the saints
340
00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:54,420
being protected.
341
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:55,721
This is what we find
342
00:10:55,788 --> 00:10:58,624
in Revelation 3:10...
343
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:15,141
But how will God protect
344
00:11:15,207 --> 00:11:16,575
His Church?
345
00:11:16,642 --> 00:11:17,610
We find the answer
346
00:11:17,676 --> 00:11:19,345
a few chapters later.
347
00:11:19,412 --> 00:11:20,813
Revelation chapter 12
348
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,716
describes Satan the devil's
349
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:25,251
aim to thwart God's plan
350
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:27,219
and destroy humanity.
351
00:11:27,286 --> 00:11:29,021
At the very end of the age,
352
00:11:29,088 --> 00:11:30,122
Satan is thrown down
353
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:31,123
to the earth,
354
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:32,158
and is very angry.
355
00:11:32,224 --> 00:11:33,926
He persecutes the Church,
356
00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:36,762
described in symbol as a woman.
357
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:39,065
But notice what happens next,
358
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:42,735
in Revelation 12:14...
359
00:11:57,983 --> 00:11:59,885
Bible scholars point out that
360
00:11:59,952 --> 00:12:02,521
"times" represent years.
361
00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:04,223
So three and a half "times"
362
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:06,258
equals three and a half years.
363
00:12:06,325 --> 00:12:07,359
This is speaking
364
00:12:07,426 --> 00:12:08,994
of the Tribulation.
365
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:10,763
God will take His people
366
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:11,730
into the wilderness
367
00:12:11,797 --> 00:12:14,800
for three and a half years.
368
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,902
But Satan will try to stop them.
369
00:12:16,969 --> 00:12:17,937
This is found in
370
00:12:18,003 --> 00:12:18,938
Revelation chapter
371
00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:20,906
12 verse 15...
372
00:12:40,059 --> 00:12:41,727
Does this sound like a church
373
00:12:41,794 --> 00:12:43,963
being swept up to heaven?
374
00:12:44,029 --> 00:12:45,030
Or rather,
375
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:46,265
is it describing
376
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:48,267
people right here on earth,
377
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:49,535
pursued by an army,
378
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:51,971
represented by a flood?
379
00:12:52,037 --> 00:12:54,206
God will miraculously destroy
380
00:12:54,273 --> 00:12:55,207
that army,
381
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:56,842
apparently by an earthquake,
382
00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:58,677
as the earth figuratively
383
00:12:58,744 --> 00:13:00,713
opens up its mouth.
384
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:02,882
And then God will put His shield
385
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:05,351
of protection over these people,
386
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:06,352
for the duration
387
00:13:06,418 --> 00:13:08,287
of the Tribulation.
388
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:09,622
The hope of the saints
389
00:13:09,688 --> 00:13:10,656
is not the rapture.
390
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,224
The hope of the saints
391
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:13,359
is God's protection
392
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:14,760
during the Tribulation
393
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:15,928
and then the change
394
00:13:15,995 --> 00:13:19,198
into Spirit at His coming.
395
00:13:19,265 --> 00:13:20,332
There is much more
396
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:21,367
than we can explain
397
00:13:21,433 --> 00:13:23,135
in this short program.
398
00:13:23,202 --> 00:13:24,503

The Mystery Unveiled.
402
00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:30,309
It explains how God
403
00:13:30,376 --> 00:13:32,378
will protect, nourish,
404
00:13:32,444 --> 00:13:34,813
and preserve His servants
405

430
00:14:16,855 --> 00:14:19,358
Today we're exposing four myths
431
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:21,160
of the apocalypse.
432
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:22,194
There are so many
433
00:14:22,261 --> 00:14:23,195
misunderstandings
434
00:14:23,262 --> 00:14:24,363
of what will happen
435
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,031
at the end of the age.
436
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:28,200
But God wants to reveal
437
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:30,169
the truth to you and me.
438
00:14:30,236 --> 00:14:31,704
And He wants to show us
439
00:14:31,770 --> 00:14:34,740
how we can really be protected.
440
00:14:34,807 --> 00:14:36,041
What else does He say
441
00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:37,042
in His word?
442
00:14:37,109 --> 00:14:39,345
Well let's examine another myth.
443
00:14:39,411 --> 00:14:41,146
Myth Number three:
444
00:14:48,887 --> 00:14:49,888
Think about it.
445
00:14:49,955 --> 00:14:51,957
How many books and movies
446
00:14:52,024 --> 00:14:53,158
have this general theme?
447
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:54,793
In some stories,
448
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:56,795
the humans use technology
449
00:14:56,862 --> 00:14:58,097
to win the day.
450
00:14:58,163 --> 00:15:00,099
In others, they are given
451
00:15:00,165 --> 00:15:01,900
or develop special superpowers
452
00:15:01,967 --> 00:15:03,769
to fight off their enemies.
453
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:04,770
Whatever the case,
454
00:15:04,837 --> 00:15:06,005
it's usually the humans
455
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:07,506
who figure out a way
456
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:09,642
to survive and outsmart
457
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,277
the evil invaders.
458
00:15:11,343 --> 00:15:12,278
Now I know,
459
00:15:12,344 --> 00:15:13,279
it's just fiction.
460
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:14,313
We're not supposed to
461
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:15,314
believe it.
462
00:15:15,381 --> 00:15:16,882
People watch it just for fun.
463
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:18,651
And yet, what is the message
464
00:15:18,717 --> 00:15:19,818
that is subtly
465
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:21,520
--and not so subtly--
466
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,289
drilled into our heads
467
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:25,658
over and over and over again?
468
00:15:25,724 --> 00:15:26,992
The message is,
469
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:29,995
in the end we humans win.
470
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:30,996
In the end,
471
00:15:31,063 --> 00:15:32,364
we overcome our differences,
472
00:15:32,431 --> 00:15:33,899
we work together
473
00:15:33,966 --> 00:15:35,634
against a common enemy,
474
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:36,602
we use science,
475
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:38,537
we use strange new powers
476
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:40,506
and good, old-fashioned
477
00:15:40,572 --> 00:15:41,707
ingenuity and guts.
478
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:42,708
In the end,
479
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:43,676
someone among us
480
00:15:43,742 --> 00:15:45,678
will save the day.
481
00:15:45,744 --> 00:15:46,679
That's one
482
00:15:46,745 --> 00:15:47,713
of the common storylines
483
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,948
of the apocalyptic genre.
484
00:15:50,015 --> 00:15:50,949
But is anyone
485
00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:51,984
asking the question,
486
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:53,385
is it really going to
487
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:54,953
happen this way?
488
00:15:55,020 --> 00:15:57,156
Where can we turn to find out?
489
00:15:57,222 --> 00:15:58,857
The Book of Revelation
490
00:15:58,924 --> 00:16:01,393
has the answer.
491
00:16:01,460 --> 00:16:02,394
And it reveals
492
00:16:02,461 --> 00:16:03,362
that the storyline
493
00:16:03,429 --> 00:16:04,363
of the future
494
00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:05,864
is not like Deep Impact
495
00:16:05,931 --> 00:16:07,900
or Terminator or Godzilla.
496
00:16:07,966 --> 00:16:09,468
The Bible shows
497
00:16:09,535 --> 00:16:12,004
a very different picture.
498
00:16:12,071 --> 00:16:14,139
Let's look at it together.
499
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:15,507
Read with me a passage
500
00:16:15,574 --> 00:16:19,144
from Revelation 19:11...
501
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:50,242
Who does the Bible reveal
502
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:52,010
will come down from heaven
503
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:53,545
in the last days?
504
00:16:53,612 --> 00:16:55,681
Not an alien invader,
505
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,716
but Jesus Christ.
506
00:16:57,783 --> 00:16:59,385
This passage describes
507
00:16:59,451 --> 00:17:01,754
the awe-inspiring appearance
508
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:05,023
of Jesus at His second coming.
509
00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:07,025
He won't come in secret...
510
00:17:07,092 --> 00:17:09,194
John wrote in Revelation 1:7
511
00:17:09,261 --> 00:17:12,331
that every eye will see Him.
512
00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:14,099
And Acts chapter 1 reveals
513
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:15,100
another glimpse
514
00:17:15,167 --> 00:17:17,169
of how He will return.
515
00:17:17,236 --> 00:17:18,570
When Jesus ascended
516
00:17:18,637 --> 00:17:19,938
to the Father,
517
00:17:20,005 --> 00:17:22,141
His disciples watched him go up
518
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:23,909
and disappear into the clouds.
519
00:17:23,976 --> 00:17:26,211
Then notice what an angel
520
00:17:26,278 --> 00:17:28,013
told these men,
521
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,348
in Acts 1:11...
522
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:46,398
The nations will see
523
00:17:46,465 --> 00:17:49,301
Jesus Christ visibly descending
524
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:50,302
from the clouds,
525
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:51,603
to the ground.
526
00:17:51,670 --> 00:17:53,705
How will they receive Him?
527
00:17:53,772 --> 00:17:54,706
With open arms?
528
00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:56,475
Jubilant that the Messiah
529
00:17:56,542 --> 00:17:57,476
has returned,
530
00:17:57,543 --> 00:18:00,279
to save mankind from himself?
531
00:18:00,345 --> 00:18:03,582
As Revelation 1:7 says...
532
00:18:09,455 --> 00:18:10,923
They'll be upset,
533
00:18:10,989 --> 00:18:12,024
They'll be angry,
534
00:18:12,090 --> 00:18:15,594
and they'll try to kill Him.
535
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:17,229
Now, is that surprising?
536
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:18,530
Well that's what human beings
537
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:19,565
did the first time
538
00:18:19,631 --> 00:18:21,200
the Son of God came.
539
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:23,936
And they'll try a second time.
540
00:18:24,002 --> 00:18:24,937
Let's read it
541
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:27,306
in Revelation 19:19...
542
00:18:40,385 --> 00:18:42,454
Think about those words.
543
00:18:42,521 --> 00:18:43,956
The kings of the earth
544
00:18:44,022 --> 00:18:45,657
will join together,
545
00:18:45,724 --> 00:18:47,693
in a concerted effort
546
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:49,361
--not to attack an evil
547
00:18:49,428 --> 00:18:51,163
alien invader
548
00:18:51,230 --> 00:18:52,631
but to destroy the very
549
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:55,133
Savior Himself.
550
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,435
Could it be that some
551
00:18:56,502 --> 00:18:58,437
will be deluded into thinking
552
00:18:58,504 --> 00:18:59,972
He is a hostile alien coming
553
00:19:00,038 --> 00:19:02,341
to annihilate mankind?
554
00:19:02,407 --> 00:19:03,775
And could Satan the devil
555
00:19:03,842 --> 00:19:06,612
be behind that message?
556
00:19:06,678 --> 00:19:08,413
The nations fighting Christ
557
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,082
will not prevail.
558
00:19:10,148 --> 00:19:11,517
Their leaders--the Beast
559
00:19:11,583 --> 00:19:12,851
and the False Prophet--
560
00:19:12,918 --> 00:19:14,820
will be captured and killed
561
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,122
and their armies destroyed.
562
00:19:17,189 --> 00:19:18,757
And Jesus Christ
563
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:20,993
will subdue the nations
564
00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:23,428
and set up His Kingdom on earth.
565
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:25,831
So what's the value
566
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:27,499
in studying the Book
567
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:28,834
of Revelation?
568
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:31,336
It reveals our future.
569
00:19:31,403 --> 00:19:32,437
And our study guide,
570
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:33,438
Revelation:
571
00:19:33,505 --> 00:19:35,107
The Mystery Unveiled
572
00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:36,742
can help you walk through
573
00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:38,877
this vital book.
574
00:19:38,944 --> 00:19:40,979
Chapters 4, 5, and 6
575
00:19:41,046 --> 00:19:42,614
explain who these people are
576
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:44,116
who fight Christ
577
00:19:44,182 --> 00:19:45,751
when He returns.
578
00:19:45,817 --> 00:19:47,653
They explain why human armies
579
00:19:47,719 --> 00:19:49,821
will attempt to stop Him,
580
00:19:49,888 --> 00:19:53,358
and why they'll be unsuccessful.
581
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:54,660
In a time when many
582
00:19:54,726 --> 00:19:55,961
are throwing out the Bible,
583
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,130
we all need to ask God
584
00:19:58,196 --> 00:20:01,233
to help us understand the Bible
585
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,534
so we can be ready
586
00:20:02,601 --> 00:20:04,202
for the chaotic times ahead.
587
00:20:04,269 --> 00:20:06,338
Read your Bible,
588
00:20:06,405 --> 00:20:08,707

In today's program,
619
00:21:15,574 --> 00:21:16,842
we've considered some
620
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:17,876
of the myths
621
00:21:17,943 --> 00:21:19,411
of the apocalypse.
622
00:21:19,478 --> 00:21:20,412
What we've found
623
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:21,580
is that apocalypse
624
00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:23,348
is not just about disaster
625
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:24,916
and calamity,
626
00:21:24,983 --> 00:21:26,018
but about God
627
00:21:26,084 --> 00:21:27,285
revealing the future.
628
00:21:27,352 --> 00:21:28,987
We've seen that the hope
629
00:21:29,054 --> 00:21:31,723
of Christians is being protected
630
00:21:31,790 --> 00:21:33,725
by God right here
631
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:35,460
during the Tribulation
632
00:21:35,527 --> 00:21:36,595
and being glorified
633
00:21:36,662 --> 00:21:38,597
at Christ's return.
634
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,098
And we've also shown that
635
00:21:40,165 --> 00:21:42,668
human armies will band together
636
00:21:42,734 --> 00:21:43,735
to actually fight
637
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:46,038
the Son of God, Himself.
638
00:21:46,104 --> 00:21:47,406
In the time remaining,
639
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:48,440
let's expose
640
00:21:48,507 --> 00:21:49,775
just one more myth:
641
00:21:58,884 --> 00:22:01,820
What is the common theme
642
00:22:01,887 --> 00:22:03,522
of so many dystopic,
643
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:05,724
post-apocalyptic books
644
00:22:05,791 --> 00:22:07,426
and movies today?
645
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:08,827
The battle of earth ends
646
00:22:08,894 --> 00:22:10,762
in crumbling buildings,
647
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:12,397
burned out vehicles,
648
00:22:12,464 --> 00:22:14,833
and shell-shocked survivors
649
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:16,735
fighting for their lives...
650
00:22:16,802 --> 00:22:18,370
with no hope for the future.
651
00:22:18,437 --> 00:22:19,571
They struggle to live
652
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:20,872
in a hopeless world
653
00:22:20,939 --> 00:22:22,941
where cruel enemies prey
654
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:25,077
on their helpless victims.
655
00:22:25,143 --> 00:22:26,678
Or they find themselves
656
00:22:26,745 --> 00:22:27,746
in an environment
657
00:22:27,813 --> 00:22:29,781
so damaged by calamity
658
00:22:29,848 --> 00:22:31,116
and disaster,
659
00:22:31,183 --> 00:22:32,818
it's no longer fit
660
00:22:32,884 --> 00:22:33,985
for human life.
661
00:22:34,052 --> 00:22:35,420
It's a grim
662
00:22:35,487 --> 00:22:37,556
and disturbing story.
663
00:22:37,622 --> 00:22:39,391
But what is the truth?
664
00:22:39,458 --> 00:22:42,227
Actually just the opposite.
665
00:22:42,294 --> 00:22:44,129
Again, the book of Revelation
666
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,264
lives up to its name.
667
00:22:46,331 --> 00:22:48,667
It reveals the truth.
668
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:49,668
Let's listen
669
00:22:49,735 --> 00:22:51,603
to what God has to say.
670
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:52,904
We can read it together
671
00:22:52,971 --> 00:22:55,841
Revelation 20:1...
672
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:13,825
Keep reading,
673
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:16,261
in Revelation 20:4
674
00:23:37,415 --> 00:23:38,884
What we're reading is
675
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:40,452
a true description
676
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:42,854
of the post-apocalyptic world
677
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:44,356
--"tomorrow's world,"
678
00:23:44,422 --> 00:23:45,590
as we call it--
679
00:23:45,657 --> 00:23:46,625
and it will be
680
00:23:46,691 --> 00:23:49,694
a brand new civilization.
681
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:50,695
The devil
682
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:51,897
will be taken away,
683
00:23:51,963 --> 00:23:53,632
and the righteous saints
684
00:23:53,698 --> 00:23:55,667
will rule in government.
685
00:23:55,734 --> 00:23:57,469
They will occupy positions
686
00:23:57,536 --> 00:23:58,570
of responsibility
687
00:23:58,637 --> 00:23:59,571
in Christ's Kingdom
688
00:23:59,638 --> 00:24:01,173
and rule with Him
689
00:24:01,239 --> 00:24:03,441
for a thousand years.
690
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:04,442
The Bible
691
00:24:04,509 --> 00:24:05,544
is filled with descriptions
692
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:06,545
of that time
693
00:24:06,611 --> 00:24:08,680
of peace and safety and harmony.
694
00:24:08,747 --> 00:24:10,148
It will be a time
695
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:11,583
of rebuilding cities,
696
00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:13,285
restoring life,
697
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:15,153
and teaching humanity
698
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:16,555
how to live.
699
00:24:16,621 --> 00:24:18,356
It will be a time of renewal
700
00:24:18,423 --> 00:24:20,292
and hope and faith.
701
00:24:20,358 --> 00:24:22,160
The Old Testament prophet Micah
702
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:25,630
prophesied of that time as well.
703
00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:28,133
In Micah chapter 4 verse 1,
704
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,201
it says this...
705
00:24:38,343 --> 00:24:40,245
That means God will establish
706
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:41,613
His Kingdom on earth
707
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,881
--through Christ--
708
00:24:42,948 --> 00:24:44,883
and that government will subdue
709
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:47,252
all other governments.
710
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,087
Micah chapter 4 verse 3...
711
00:25:08,607 --> 00:25:10,909
This is a prophecy of God,
712
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:11,910
of what happens
713
00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:13,378
after the Tribulation
714
00:25:13,445 --> 00:25:14,980
and the Day of the Lord.
715
00:25:15,046 --> 00:25:16,248
Can you imagine
716
00:25:16,314 --> 00:25:19,184
no more war between nations?
717
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:20,986
It seems too good to be true,
718
00:25:21,052 --> 00:25:21,987
doesn't it?
719
00:25:22,053 --> 00:25:23,889
But that's the real
720
00:25:23,955 --> 00:25:26,524
post-apocalyptic world!
721
00:25:26,591 --> 00:25:29,628
Going on, in Micah 4:4...
722
00:25:40,972 --> 00:25:42,707
He's describing a world
723
00:25:42,774 --> 00:25:44,042
of peace.
724
00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:45,343
And think about what this
725
00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:46,478
is portraying.
726
00:25:46,544 --> 00:25:48,046
Imagine a man with his wife
727
00:25:48,113 --> 00:25:49,047
and children,
728
00:25:49,114 --> 00:25:50,849
sitting in the shade of a tree
729
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:51,850
in their backyard,
730
00:25:51,917 --> 00:25:52,817
having a picnic.
731
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:54,786
Picture the smaller ones running
732
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:56,187
and playing games,
733
00:25:56,254 --> 00:25:57,989
enjoying life.
734
00:25:58,056 --> 00:25:59,891
That is a snapshot of life
735
00:25:59,958 --> 00:26:02,928
in the post-apocalyptic world.
736
00:26:02,994 --> 00:26:04,029
Again, it will be
737
00:26:04,095 --> 00:26:07,766
a brand-new civilization,
738
00:26:07,832 --> 00:26:09,901
not what you find in the movies.
739
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:11,603
But who will you believe?
740
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:12,637
Hollywood?
741
00:26:12,704 --> 00:26:13,972
Or the ever-living God?
742
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:15,273
Do you want to be
743
00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:18,176
in that number
744
00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:20,211
of saints who are protected
745
00:26:20,278 --> 00:26:21,980
and then glorified
746
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:24,983
and rule with Christ on earth?
747

of the future,
766
00:26:53,311 --> 00:26:55,613
