   lord help us love people enough around us to pray for them and to tell them the truth sinners and backsliders will be lost forever to love the world is to be an enemy of god to love the lust of the world and the things that are in the world we have got to break up with the world you guys and let jesus be number one amen i've said it many times but i'll say it again when you break up with the devil you give him back his stuff amen jesus is not going to have cheaters amen he's looking for a bride without spot or blemish and you are either part of the bride or you're part of the adulteress can't be in both camps at the same time amen praise god you may be seated this morning glory praise the lord i tell you what i feel the spirit of the lord here this morning amen i didn't plan on turning to this scripture you can go ahead and put the first slide up but i want you to everybody to turn first to jeremiah jeremiah chapter 32 and there's a reason i want to say this because uh jeremiah says something here this for somebody this morning that you need to understand and just so you know the context of this in jeremiah 31 the prophet gets this revelation from god that he is going to have a new covenant and that he's going to make a new covenant with the house of israel so this is about the new covenant that we live under that he's talking about in 31 and 32. but in jeremiah 32 he says something about the fear of the lord and i want to say this this morning about the fear of god i want you to know that it's possible for you to both fear god and love god at the same time amen my children know that daddy loves them they know i love them and they love me but they also know daddy will not put up with any foolishness amen even the one and a half year old knows already that daddy will spank and that fits aren't good we know amen and she knows

   it's not pleasant but i compare that only because we understand that a little bit but the fear of god the respect of god that we should have needs to go much further but here's what god said about his fear about fearing the lord in jeremiah 32 let's read down go down to verse 38 he says and they shall be my people and i will give and i will be their god rather and i will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me forever for the good of them and of their children after them and i will make an everlasting covenant with them that i will not turn away from them to do them good but i will put my fear in their hearts that they shall not depart from me let me just say this if you have cast aside the fear of god and are living any way you think you want to live you are in great danger because i can turn all the way over to the book of revelation turn over to the book of revelation real quick that's where we're going to spend most of our time but that's if if you think well that's old testament pastor all the way over to the book of revelation chapter 14. the end of the book god's judgments are falling upon the earth we're going to talk about that this morning god's terrible wrath and judgments are falling upon wicked sinners and i'm going to tell you it's coming folks actually it's already been happening but it's going to come worse something we don't have any concept does god love the lost does he love the unsaved and the wicked and those rebelling against him yes he loved them enough to send his own son to die on the cross for their sins and to be raised from the dead but if you reject that and continue to live the way you want to live you will be the object of his wrath that is the fact and preachers do not preach it anymore but all the way over in the book of revelation when god's judgments i mean when millions are dying under the judgment and wrath of god and yes i said the judgment and wrath of god an angel flies in heaven look at chapter 14 and this is the message of the angel he says he has the everlasting gospel to preach are you there verse 6 and i saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kindred and tongue and people saying with a loud voice fear god and give glory to him

   for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him that made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the fountains of waters and there followed another angel saying babylon has fallen is fallen that great city because she has made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication and then he goes on to talk about the angel that followed to bring a curse upon those who take the mark of the beast in the last three and a half years but i wanted you to see that the everlasting gospel says fear god worship him give him glory and i want to tell you the man or the woman that truly fears god will depart from evil i'm going to give you a verse just write this one down if you don't believe that statement proverbs 16 verse 6 by the fear of the lord men depart from evil it's not by good goose bump feelings whether people like it or not christian people like it or not or the world likes it or not god is in charge he is the king what he says goes and the way he says it's going to be that's the way he says it's going to be and if you want to be a rebel then you paddled your own canoe into god's judgment there's been old saying preachers you say if anybody goes to hell they paddled their own canoe there because god in his love and mercy has been doing everything to keep us from there you got to be pretty stubborn to keep going down a road of loving the world amen this is the message what i'm telling you right now is the message of the book of revelation and that's what we're going to look at this morning i'm going to help you understand the book of revelation probably like you've never understood it because some of the traditional teachings we've been taught about this book are wrong they don't make sense they don't jive with the scriptures or what's going on in history but we need to look at it and i'm going to show you this morning beyond any shadow of a doubt that we are over halfway through the seals we are already into the third trumpet pat and waiting moving quickly to the fourth the judgments of god have been in the earth especially in the 20th century and what's coming is far worse than anything we've seen yet you think the earthquake in the japanese tsunami was bad or the 2004 tsunami you think those things were bad what is coming is going to make those things pale in comparison and god is looking he the bible says when god's judgments are in the earth

   people learn righteousness he will do what is necessary to get you to turn and if you won't turn then it's on you amen let's go back to revelation chapter one this morning i want to break it down i'm going to give you just a quick overview of revelation let's go to the number two here a lot of symbolism in revelation but let me break it down a lot of people stay away from the book of revelation because they say oh it's got all these things in it that i can't understand you know the bearer and the and the lion with the eagles wings and the woman clothed with the sun and the moon at her feet and the dragon and all this stuff and they go uh stay away from the book of revelation but the book of revelation is not just full of symbolism matter of fact god put just enough in there to keep people away people that really didn't want him to keep them away because the book of revelation actually breaks down like this and i'm gonna break it down real quick for you chapter one is an introduction we're going to read some of that in a second it's just an introduction john's telling you what's going on but the book of revelation did you know this is the only book in the bible that promises a blessing to those who read it and understand it and as a matter of fact john said that this book even daniel when daniel wrote daniel god said seal the book so that it basically it won't be understood till the time of the end but 700 800 years later when john wrote the book of revelation god said don't seal that up because the time is at hand see the last days began when jesus died on that cross and rose from the dead that's why paul said in the first century about the antichrist spirit he said the mystery of iniquity is already working so john goes up to heaven and sees this this vision and sees these things unfold in heaven they really happened he saw both things that were happening and that would happen okay but the book here first chapter one is an introduction then god gives a prophetic word to john for seven churches in asia i i've had there recently there was a very well known popular ministry in america i'm talking about known nationally internationally ministry that said prophecy or the the prophetic ministry was not about being focused on the sins of the world i said my god what book are they reading have they read revelation have they read the new testament it's all god's focusing on through the whole thing and god focuses on dealing with the church first and that's why he deals with the there were problems big problems sin and false teaching and false prophets and all these things going on lukewarmness and sexual immorality and all these things going on in these churches and jesus pinpoints them and corrects them and says you better repent you better get this stuff out of your life or else i'm going to do this and some of the judgments where i'm going to spit you out of my mouth i'm going to kill
