Speaker 1 (00:32):
There will a pure a sign of the Son of
Man in heaven, and then all peoples on earth will
mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on
the clouds of heaven with power and glory. And he
will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and
(00:57):
they will gather his elect from the four winds, from
the one end of the heavens to the other. Now,
learn this lesson from the fig tree. As soon as
the twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you
(01:20):
know that summer is near. Even so, when you see
all these things, you will know that it is near
right at the door. Truly, I tell you this generation
will certainly not pass away until all things have happened.
(01:46):
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will
never pass away. Okay, In this reading there is a
huge lesson. It's not so much that we should be
(02:08):
looking for some of these signs to happen physically, because
we can go on and on about the coming of
the anti grace and the numbers and all that sort
of stuff, and there's plenty of people out there that
(02:30):
actually are talking about that, and to be totally honest
with you, a lot of it is false. Prophecy. They
are taking something some snippets, some of this, some of
that from what they've seen in scripture without digging in
(02:51):
and finding out what the people were really talking about.
And we are going to see some signs happen. We're
going to see some some some trouble things happen in
our lifetimes, and we're going to see those things. Some
(03:12):
of them pass pass away. They're going to pass on.
And yes, those things are going to pass on, but
the word of God never will pass away if we
hold tight to the word of God. That word of
(03:33):
God is that He is our shield, he is our bugler,
he is our sword. He will protect us under his wings,
he will guide us with his hands. Remember those words.
Those are the words that we need to hang on
to because that means that God is going to protect us.
(03:56):
If we follow those words. According to those words, no
harm will befall our tent. Bottom line. Bottom line is this.
You can go out there, you can go look for
the six x sixth thing. You can go out there
and you can try to figure out what the anti
(04:17):
CRISI is. Welcome to it. Go you should be looking
for these things because when we find these things, we
can help others hang on to God's word, then they
can build their tent. They can build their tent under
God's wing and be under his protection. That's what we're
(04:43):
supposed to do. We look for those signs so that
we can help others find the protection of God. Because
to be totally honest with the following God, following the
foot in the footsteps of Christ isn't an exclusive club.
(05:05):
It is very inclusive. All are welcome. Also stated in scripture,
how all are welcome stated in scripture that as Christians,
we are supposed to follow in the ways of Jesus Christ.
That means that we open our door to those who
(05:28):
are in need. That means that we are tolerant of
those who are different, and we listen to other ideas
that people have. We listen for solutions for our society,
and we try, we try even harder to find nonviolent
(05:49):
solutions and diplomatic ways of bringing everyone to the table
so that we all have a say in what is
going on in our world. That we don't try to
find solutions that are based completely on commerce. That's let's
I know how to end the war. Let's all go
(06:12):
go go do a bunch of trade together and then
we can't fight. No, let's all come together and at
the table and share God's love. I don't care how
you want to pronounce God as as the soul Creator,
(06:34):
the creator of heaven and earth, the creator who put
life on this planet, the creator who put life into
our universe, the creator of the stars. I don't care
how you want to call him, but we all need
to come together at his table and share his love,
(06:58):
share that inner of love. We're all connected through it.
It says so again, going back to his word, that
is what we're supposed to be doing. That is what
we are supposed to be looking for. That is the
word that will never pass away. If you come together
(07:26):
in love, you are following the word of God. You
are following his mandates, His things you are. You will see,
(07:46):
as we're used as a metaphor, you will see the
leaves appear on the fig tree. And that's how you
know that you're getting close to God. That's how we
will know. Things will blossom in our lives and we
(08:12):
will come together in love. We will see God in
all of his glory because of all the love that
He has for us. That's what we're looking for. That's
the path that we're supposed to follow, the one that
(08:32):
leads to God's love. Help others find that path. Help
others to find that path to God. When they when
they find their path to God, let them walk it
(08:53):
because they are walking with God also every day, and
we're going to start getting into our prayer. Every day,
I pray that I can reach up and hold God's hand,
that he will guide me through my day, that he
(09:16):
will guide me through every moment of my day, that
He will be with me. He will be my guide,
he will be my help, he will protect me if needed,
he will laugh with me through what is the good times? Well,
(09:39):
put that in big quotation marks for you. I pray
that He is with me every second of the day,
through laughed, through crying, and everything in between. That his
hand is guiding me through my day, that his spirit
(10:00):
is watching over me and protecting me, because that is
the way that Jesus told us to go to ask
for God's hand, to ask for his guidance. Lord, thank
(10:28):
you every day that you hold my hand and you
guide me through my daily life. Thank you for opening
up your heart for all of my brothers and sisters.
So did they find the same path, that same love
that you offer to all of us. Help us to
(10:54):
be the leaves on the fig tree, so that we
open up as we grow closer to your love and
your power. Help us to walk that path, that path
that only leads to you,
