Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD
VERY BRIEFLY IF I COULD GET A BAPTIST AMEN –A METHODIST NOD AND A SANTIFIED CHURCH HALLELUJAH
I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS ?
MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS
WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A CATAPILLAR GOES THROUGH A METAMORPHOSE------
IT BECOMES A BUTTERFLY
I DON`T HAVE TO TELL YOU ALREADY KNOW
WHAT HAPPEN WHEN A WOMAN CARRIES A BABY FOR 9 MONTHS ------
SHE GIVE BIRTH
WE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A SEED IS SOWN
-----IT BRINGS FORTH A HARVEST
WE EVEN KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN
WE GO THROUGH IT
WE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT
JOY COMES IN THE MORNING
WE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PRAISES GOES UP …………..
BLESSING FROM THE BLESSER COMES DOWN
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT
WE KNOW HAPPENS AFTER CERTAIN THINGS TAKE PLACE IN LIFE
BUT HAVE YOU EVER SERIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH
WE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS AFTER OTHER THINGS OCCUR
BUT HAVE YOU EVER SIT DOWN AND PONDERED THE QUESTION ?
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH OCCURS
EVEN THOUGH MANY OF US HAVE DIFFICULTY AND UNCERTIANTY AS TO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH
BUT IT`S A QUESTION THAT DEMANDS OUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION
AND OUR COMPLETE CONSIDERATION
BECAUSE WE ALL NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
IN THE TEXT BEFORE US
THE HEBREW WRITER LET`S US KNOW THAT WE ARE FRAIL , FLEETING FLESH
AND IF THE LORD CONTINUE TO TARRY THAT ONE ONE DAY OUR TIME ON THIS EARTH WILL COME TO AN END
**************************************
THEREFORE HE GIVES US SOME SPIRITUAL INSIGHT ON DEATH AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS
WELL THE 1ST THING THE HEBREW WRITER REVEALS TO US IS WHAT`S CERTAIN ABOUT DEATH
FOR HE SAYS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE
FOR HE LETS US KNOW THAT IF THE LORD CONTINUE TO TARRY THAT DEATH IS NOT OPTIONAL
BUT DEATH IS ORDERED
BECAUSE DEATH IS APPOINTED TO EVERY - MAN –WOMAN –BOY OR GIRL
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THE RICH MAN HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
THE POOR MAN HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
THE EDUCATED HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
THE UNEDUCATED HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
DON`T GET IT TWISTED UP IN HERE
BECAUSE IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY WE ALL HAVE AND APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
BECAUSE IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD
DEATH IS NOT RESPECTOR OF AGE – GENDER—RACE OR SOCIAL STATUS FOR WE ALL HAVE A DATE WITH DEATH
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS THE QUESTION IS NOT IF YOU ARE GOING DIE –BUT WHEN YOU GOING TO DIE
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHEN BECAUSE GOD IS THE ONE WHO SETS THE APPOINTMENT
AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CANCEL YOUR DENTIST APPOINTMENT
YOU MAYBE ABLE TO CANCEL YOUR DR`S APPOINTMENT
BUT YOU CAN`T CANCEL NOR CAN YOU RESCHEDULE NOR CAN YOU POSTPONE YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
BECAUSE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED
YOU CAN`T OUT RUN IT YOU CAN`T OUT SMART IT AND YOU SHOW CAN`T HIDE FROM IT
BECAUSE WE ALL GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
NOTICE WHAT THE HEBREW WRITER SAYS
IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE
**************************************
BUT NOT ONLY DOES THE HEBREW WRITER TELLS US WHAT IS CERTAIN ABOUT DEATH
BUT HE ALSO REVEALS WHAT IS CONSTANT ABOUT DEATH
HE SAYS ONCE TO DIE
HE LETS US KNOW THAT THIS IS CONSTANT THING WITH DEATH
IN OTHER WORDS EVERYBODY DIES ----ONE TIME
WE DON`T HAVE 9 LIVES
WE JUST HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE
AND WHEN THAT LIFE IS OVER WE GET ONE TIME TO DIE
BECAUSE IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD
THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS RETURNS -- REFUNDS OR RAIN CHECKS
WHEN IT COMES TO DEATH
AND THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL LIFE LINES
BECAUSE YOU GET ONE TIME
THE TEXT SAYS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE
**************************************
BUT NOT ONLY------ DOES THE HEBREW WRITER TELLS US WHATS CERTAIN AND CONSTANT ABOUT DEATH
BUT HE ALSO REVEALS WHAT COMES AFTER DEATH
FOR HE SAYS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGEMENT
THE TEXT SAYS AFTER THIS SPEAKING OF DEATH ----
BUT AFTER THIS —COMES THE JUDGEMENT
AND THE WORD JUDGEMENT MEANS -- CRISIS
AND A CRISIS IS A CRUCIAL STAGE OR TURNING POINT IN THE COURSE OF SOMETHING
THE HEBREW WRITER LETS US KNOW THAT AFTER WE DIE WE COMES TO A CRUCIAL STAGE AND TURNING POINT AND IT`S CALL THE JUDGEMENT
IN PREACH BROTHER PAUL 2ND LETTER
TO THE CHURCH AT CORINTH THE 5CHP – 10TH VERSE
PAUL SAYS
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
AND THAT`S NOT WHITE-OLOGY BUT THATS-------------- THEOLOGY
BECAUSE IF YOU DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE DEATH
THE RIGHT THING WILL HAPPEN AFTER DEATH
BECAUSE WHEN YOU KNOW JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE BEFORE DEATH
YOU WILL SEE JESUS AFTER DEATH
AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE
JESUS DIED ON MOUNTAIN CALL CALVARY
HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND MINES
HE DIED FOR THE SUN BLEW A FUSE AND REFUSE TO SHINE HE DIED FOR THE EARTH ROCK AND REELED LIKE A DRUNK MAN
HE DIED FOR ROMAN SOLDIER PREACH HIS HOME GOING CELEBRATION
AND HE USED FOR A TOPIC SURELY
---OH SURELY HE WAS THE SON OF GOD
I HEARD ---- OH I HEARD
THEY PLACE HIM IN A BORROWED TOMB
BUT I`M GLAD THAT’S NOT HOW THE STORY END
BECAUSE EARLY --------EARLY--E-A-R-L-Y
SUNDAY MORNING HE GOT UP WITH
ALL POWER IN HIS HANDS
AIN~T GOD ALRIGHT
AND THE REASON I KNOW HE`S ALRIGHT
BECAUSE ON HIS WAY TO CALVARY HE KEPT ON GIVING
HE GAVE HIS HANDS FOR OUR NAILS
GAVE HIS HEAD FOR OUR CROWN OF THORNS
GAVE HIS BACK FOR OUR BEATING
GAVE HIS SIDE FOR OUR SPEAR
BUT WHEN HE GOT UP THAT 3RD DAY MORNING
HE TOOK THE STING OUT OF DEATH
AND THE VICTORY OUT OF THE GRAVE
AND SINCE HE TOOK THE STING OUT OF DEATH AND THE VICTORY OUT OF THE GRAVE
TAKE YOUR REST BROTHER/SISTER
