=== Revival and the 144,000 (03:14) ===

[00:00:00]  I spent a few years in prison studying the Revelation word by word by word.
[00:00:07]  And you know what?
[00:00:09]  I come out of prison and find out that Dr. Baxter believes everything I do.
[00:00:14]  I don't know who he was talking to, but he must have been talking to the same God that was talking to me in the prison.
[00:00:20]  Because it's just amazing.
[00:00:22]  And people think we're going to get raptured out here.
[00:00:26]  And the only reason I'm scared about that, because I just want you to be saved.
[00:00:32]  But the reason I'm worried about it is people are going to be so mad at their preachers when they get into this.
[00:00:41]  And they're going to say, why did you lie to us?
[00:00:45]  Do you feel that?
[00:00:46]  Well, I think some of them will.
[00:00:48]  Now, the big thing is, what should we be doing right now?
[00:00:54]  Should we be gearing up to disappear?
[00:00:57]  Or should we be gearing up for the greatest revival the world has ever known?
[00:01:01]  Now, to me, that's the right here.
[00:01:03]  Look at this is Dr. Baxter's chart.
[00:01:06]  The world's greatest revival just ahead.
[00:01:09]  That whole messy period you don't want to talk about from here, from here to eternity, from here to now.
[00:01:17]  This is the great revival.
[00:01:20]  You know, Jim, I think we ought to quote a scripture right now because it's one thing for you and me to say that.
[00:01:26]  It's another thing to be able to go to the scripture.
[00:01:28]  I was reading Revelation chapter 7 a year or so ago, and I was reading about the 144,000.
[00:01:34]  That's verse 1 through 8 of chapter 7.
[00:01:37]  But I noticed it kept going.
[00:01:39]  Now, the 144,000, 12,000 out of each tribe, and all of them will be a part of the church because the Bible says they're redeemed.
[00:01:46]  And they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
[00:01:48]  But then you get to verse 9, and it says, after this, listen close.
[00:01:52]  After this, I saw a great multitude that no man could number out of every kindred, every people, every nation, every tongue.
[00:02:02]  And the elder said to John, John, what are these?
[00:02:06]  John said, I don't have a clue.
[00:02:08]  You tell me.
[00:02:09]  And in verse number 13 and 14, the elder said, these are they that have come out of great tribulation.
[00:02:17]  They've washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
[00:02:21]  You know, growing up, I heard these people preach about these two witnesses.
[00:02:25]  I thought, okay, the two witnesses, they're just coming here to pester the Antichrist.
[00:02:29]  They're going to stick their thumb in the Antichrist's eye and just drive him crazy.
[00:02:33]  But that's foolish.
[00:02:35]  They're coming here for revival.
[00:02:36]  The two greatest preachers since Peter and Paul are going to be having great revival.
[00:02:40]  And the revival is recorded in Revelation 7, verse number 13 and 14.
[00:02:47]  This is a great multitude that no man could number out of every kindred, every people, every nation.
[00:02:52]  And why is there a Jewish revival and a Gentile revival all together there?
[00:02:58]  Because the early church, they had a Jewish and a Gentile church mixed together.
[00:03:02]  They had great Gentiles, great Jewish church.
[00:03:05]  They were all cooperating together.
[00:03:07]  So God started the church age that way.
[00:03:09]  He's going to finish the church age that way.
[00:03:11]  Amen.
[00:03:11]  Amen.
[00:03:12]  Boy, it's exciting, people.
