Summary: He is coming back like he said.
THE SECOND RESURRECTON
Rev.19; 5And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth
If the saved dead saints are resurrected in the first resurrection and the lost sinners raised in the second resurrection to stand before their record and the judgment, then sentenced to the lake of fire forever;it looks to me like they would be standing in line to be saved.
(1) THE RECORD OF THE PROPHECY.
Rev.20; 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
The warning in advance to the sinner
The witness of the rich man’s Hell
That the word of God is true and means what it says
(2) THE REVIEW OF THE PAST
Rev.20; 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Looking back at the times you could have been saved
Life spent for self and pleasure
Listen to the devil and friends instead of God
(3)THE REDEEMER THEY PUT OFF
Rev.21: 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Delayed unto a latter time
Desire to get saved finally left
Death came without warning
(4)THE RESISTANCE THEY PUBSUED
Hebrews 6; 8But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Preaching of the word turned down
Prayers of the people turned away
Pull of the Holy Spirit pushed away
(5)THE RECORD OF LIFE NOW PUBLISHED
1st Tim.5; 24Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
The story of your life now told
The sting of sin fully felt
The sinful life now over and ended
(6)THE RECKONING DAY OF PUNISHMENT
Rev.6; 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Face judgment without mercy
Fear the terrible consequence of sin
Fry like sausage forever
(7) THE REGRET NOW PROCLAIMED
Luke 16; 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Regret turning Christ down
Remember the many opportunities to be saved
Repent,recive Christ today –now is the time.
