=== Four Accounts of the Second Coming (02:33) ===

[00:00:01]  You gave us the three scriptures that was your foundation.
[00:00:04]  Can we do it again one more time?
[00:00:06]  Yes.
[00:00:07]  Matthew chapter 24, verse 29 through 31.
[00:00:11]  Immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall he send his angels together his elect.
[00:00:17]  Revelation chapter number 20, verse 4 through 6.
[00:00:21]  I saw those that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus.
[00:00:24]  They did not take the mark.
[00:00:25]  They would not worship the beast.
[00:00:27]  These lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[00:00:30]  This is the first resurrection.
[00:00:35]  Now, there's many other scriptures.
[00:00:36]  Of course, there's the parable, the two harvests, the harvest of the wheat and the tares.
[00:00:41]  They're both going to be gathered at the same time.
[00:00:43]  The tares are going to be cast into the fire.
[00:00:46]  The wheat's going to be put in the barn.
[00:00:48]  There are many scriptures that teach this over and over.
[00:00:51]  One of the things that may help people, Pastor Jim, is I found out that there are four accounts of the second coming in the book of Revelation.
[00:01:00]  When I first started reading Revelation, everybody said it's in chronological order from front to back.
[00:01:06]  But I kept getting mixed up.
[00:01:07]  I thought I was reading succotash.
[00:01:09]  I mean, I had beast here and horns here and horses here and everything.
[00:01:15]  I didn't know what to make of it all.
[00:01:17]  And well, then I noticed that there was an account of the second coming in Revelation 6.
[00:01:22]  The heavens depart like a scroll.
[00:01:25]  The rich men of the world run to the rocks and the mountains and saying, hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne.
[00:01:31]  I thought, well, that sure looks like the second coming.
[00:01:34]  Then you go, it starts over in chapter number 7.
[00:01:37]  Well, then I got to chapter number 11, verse 15.
[00:01:41]  It says, the seventh trumpet, the last trumpet sounds.
[00:01:44]  And a voice said, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ.
[00:01:49]  And the day that the prophets should be given their rewards, the dead should be judged.
[00:01:52]  And I thought, well, that looks like the second coming.
[00:01:56]  Well, then I got to chapter 14, and there's two harvests there.
[00:01:59]  There's one angel that reaps the harvest of the earth in verse number 14 through 17 of chapter 14.
[00:02:06]  And then verse 18 through 20, there's another angel that reaps the vine of the earth and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of Almighty God, the Battle of Armageddon.
[00:02:17]  I said, well, that looks like the second coming.
[00:02:20]  And then I get to chapter 19, and a voice says, come hither, I'll show thee the bride, the lamb's wife, for the bride that made herself ready, and the marriage of the lamb has come.
[00:02:29]  I said, wait a minute.
[00:02:30]  We're in chapter 19.
[00:02:31]  The marriage hasn't even happened yet.
