Now the situation in the world is one of no peace. I guess you probably noticed that. The reason is because we do not follow the Lord. And it will not get better. There are some Christians who believe there's going to be a great revival and as a result of this great revival, we are going to change the world so that everyone will start believing in Jesus and all the wars and all the troubles will stop and everyone will live in peace and safety. It is a nice idea, but it's not going to happen.
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.
