will be dead too everybody has a time  I don&#39;t care what science is coming up  with  in fact I&#39;m a firm believer that if the  world keeps going the way it&#39;s going  some of the Fulfillment of the Book of  Revelation sang a third of the earth  Earth&#39;s population has to die maybe even  started already I don&#39;t know if that&#39;s  part of it or not I can&#39;t say I don&#39;t  want to speculate  just saying  so somebody who doesn&#39;t want to talk  about death  and I&#39;ve met people like oh God I can&#39;t  talk about that  it means  the resurrected life and understanding  of the resurrected life has not  penetrated into your soul  what do you mean  I&#39;m saying exactly what I mean  here go back to the disciples  their beloved master  who foretold of his death multiple times  over and of course while he was alive no  no no be it far from me no no this can&#39;t  happen right they didn&#39;t understand  but how is it that after he died Rose  and ascended they were able to go out  and talk about his death  they talked about his death in light of  the Resurrection the Ascension and his  return  and the scriptures abundantly clear  Jesus was the first goer  the first of his kind which means anyone  who calls himself a Christian following  Christ will follow in his footsteps  which means when we read death has no  more sting over the believer  that&#39;s what it means it doesn&#39;t mean  that losing a loved one is not going to  hurt  it will  that&#39;s the flesh part  and trust me I know there are a lot of  widowers in the sound of my voice  it does not take away the sting it does  not take away the absence or the void it  does not  but what it does do is it lets you look  at  the reality  that person devoted to Christ Christ is  not a liar if Christ said basically I am  the first goer  and you&#39;re following him you too shall  follow as he did that means you too will  enjoy the resurrected life  now somebody who has not got the mindset  I don&#39;t care what you think  there isn&#39;t some playing tiddlywinks  when the end comes let me show you  something I know I haven&#39;t opened up the  scripture very much but let me show you  something that has an impact for me  in Luke 16 the passage about the rich  man and Lazarus  and and if you read this with the eyes  I&#39;m speaking about it&#39;ll really make  sense to you a certain rich man clothed  in purple fine linen fared sumptuously  every day and there was a certain beggar  named Lazarus which was laid at his gate  full of sores  Desiring to be fed with the crumbs which  fell from the rich man&#39;s table moreover  the dogs came and licked his sores it  came to pass that the beggar died and  was carried by the Angels into Abraham&#39;s  bosom the rich man also died and was  buried  and in hell he lifted up his eyes being  in torments and seeth Abraham afar off  and Lazarus in his bosom  cried saying Father Abraham have mercy  on me send Lazarus that he may dip the  tip of his finger in water and cool my  tongue frame and torment in this flame  but Abraham said Son remember that thou  in thy lifetime receiveth thy good  things and likewise Lazarus evil things  just  for a little footnote Lazarus received  evil things  what does that mean it means probably  that he suffered  he probably didn&#39;t have money he  probably grappled with a lot of things  that we grapple with that&#39;s evil things  whatever that is  but now he is comforted and thou art  tormented in other words you spent your  time here on Earth pleasuring yourself  with the pleasures of this Good Earth  but not paying attention to God and what  comes next is what I want you to focus  on and besides all this between us and  you there is a great Gulf fixed  so they so that they which would pass  from hence you cannot neither can they  pass from us basically if you understand  this and all the other things that are  said about heaven and hell  there is a Great Divide there is a chasm  the resurrected mindset  fixed on Christ understanding we too  shall rise  that there are sometimes we&#39;ll call them  mild or light afflictions which Paul  talked about which are only for a Time  don&#39;t think because Something&#39;s Happened  to you that God isn&#39;t with you actually  it usually might be a sign that God is  with you that he&#39;s letting certain  things buff at you just like he did to  many of the people in the book  but it drives home the point  there is a Great Divide between those  who have a changed mindset towards death  dying in the resurrection versus those  who may have heard it but are  indifferent don&#39;t care couldn&#39;t be  bothered by it Great Gulf fix so you  know you might say well  that&#39;s pretty terrible but if you think  about it and if you believe the proofs  Jesus is the tangible proof  and so many times in the book it says to  him that overcometh  death  so you know I&#39;m thinking to myself there  is something to be said there in our  understanding you are either fearful of  that it brings about fear it brings  about the shiverings  that&#39;s the flesh  the spirit says  when is my time  I&#39;m going to go be with the Lord  I don&#39;t exactly know 100 what exactly  that&#39;s going to look like but that&#39;s  what I&#39;m told  multiple times over that makes for good  doctrine that makes me stand on that  rock to say that&#39;s that  [Music]  [Music]  said goodbye  coming to this house<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QjwScK8G3VU\" target=\"_blank\"
