00:00Now the situation in the world is one of no peace. I guess you've probably noticed that.
00:08The reason is because we don't follow the Lord and it will not get better.
00:14There are some Christians who believe there's going to be a great revival and as a result of this great revival
00:19we're going to change the world so that everyone will start believing in Jesus and all the wars and all the troubles will stop
00:24and everyone will live in peace and safety.
00:27It's a nice idea but it's not going to happen.
00:30I can tell you that's not going to happen because it's in the Bible that there's going to be a time of great trouble before Jesus returns.
00:37We can believe there will be many people, perhaps multitudes of people who come to faith in Jesus the Messiah in the last days.
00:44In fact in Revelation chapter 7 it speaks about a great multitude that no one could number.
00:50Of all tongues, tribes, peoples and tongues standing before the throne, before the Lord,
00:55clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hand,
00:59crying out with a loud voice saying,
01:01Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.
01:05And one of the angels answered saying to me,
01:09Who are these arrayed in white robes and where did they come from?
01:13So I said to him, Sir, you know.
01:15And he said, These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
01:20So there will be many people saved in the last days, especially in the great tribulation period.
01:25It's going to be a great turning to the Lord.
01:30And there will be a group of people called the tribulation saints who are going to stand against the Antichrist in the last day period.
01:37Debate about whether they are separate from Christians today.
01:39If the rapture comes before the tribulation, that will be the case.
01:41If it comes afterwards, then they're Christians as they are today.
01:44I'm not going to get into that one at the moment, but the Bible text is very clear that there is a plan for multitudes of people to be saved in the last days.
