The 144,000: The Revelation of Jesus Christ

We have a wonderful place to look forward to, the New Jerusalem.

I just want to thank Pastor Clark and the elders and you as a church family for inviting me back again.

I was here in January and it's very good to be here at the Princess Town Seventh-day Adventist Church again.

And this time my wife is with me and as the pastor said we have a baby girl now.

Last time I was here it was about 10 days before she was born and so I was just about to go back to the United States, and I got back just in time for her birth.

So we are very thankful for her birth, and we're glad to be back here in Trinidad.

We live over in the west, Indigo Martin, right by Community Hospital, so it's good to be here.

Before we start, I would just like to offer up 1 more word of prayer and we will get into our message for this morning.

Father in heaven, we thank you for this day.

We thank you for the privilege of coming and worshiping you here in your house of worship.

And I just pray for a special blessing of the Holy Spirit as we get into your word for this morning.

How many of you believe that Jesus is coming soon?

And how many of you want to be ready to meet Him when He comes?

You know I'm really excited about this week of prophecy that we are having this week because we are going to be going through passages of Scripture from prophecy that identify the time that we are living in, the message for this time, how we can be ready and how we can share with others how to be ready for Jesus to come, amen?

And you know, as I thought about the message that we would start with for this week.

The title that came to my mind for this morning is Jesus and the Third Angel.

We have a message to give to this world, but let us make sure that as we share prophecy with others that we do not lose sight of Jesus.

Let us make sure that we lift up Jesus at the heart of our prophetic message.

And you know when I was looking at some relevant topics, I was reading from the testimonies.

How many of you have read the testimonies?

I praise the Lord for the testimonies that the Lord has given to us.

And in the very first section of Testimonies Volume 9, the very last of the testimonies written by Ellen White, is a section entitled For the Coming of the King.

And of course we know that is the coming of Jesus Christ, amen?

And in this opening was a verse that Ellen White picked to open this section and it's Hebrews chapter 10 verse 37 And here this verse says, for yet a little while, and he that shall come will come and will not tarry.

Yes, He will come and He will not tarry or He will not delay at a certain point.

Right after Ellen White quotes that passage, we read this at the very opening of Volume 9 of the Testimonies, page 11.

The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand.

The days in which we live are solemn and important.

The spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth.

Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God.

The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war are portentous.

They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude.

And how many of you paid attention to the news with the great terrible earthquake in Japan just 1 month ago?

That was a terrible earthquake and it's a reminder, yes, Jesus is coming again, amen?

And notice how she finishes the statement, The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating.

They are strengthening for the last great crisis.

Great changes are soon to take place in our world and the final movements will be rapid ones.

Do you realize that once a certain point in history takes place, it's not going to take another hundred years for Jesus to come?

Once certain things take place in the history of this world, and we are gonna look at those events as we study this week.

The final movements will then be rapid ones, and I would dare say that we are on the very edge of those final movements taking place.

And you know, that should not be scary, that should be exciting, amen?

Because that means that our best and dearest friend, Jesus, is coming soon.

So if Jesus is coming soon, do we not have a message for this time to give to the world.

In this very same section for the coming of the King in Testimonies Volume 9, we then have a section called Called to be Witnesses.

This is what Ellen White says, In a special sense, Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light bearers.

To them, or to us, has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world.

On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God.

Do you know the privilege we have with the light that has shone upon us as a people here in God's word?

We have a wonderful message to share with the world.

They have been given a work of the most solemn import.

It is the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages.

There is no other work of so great importance they are to allow nothing else to absorb their attention.

So our work for this time is to give to the world the first, second and third angels' messages which are the last warning to a perishing world.

God has given us these messages to warn the world.

And then she says, The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have been given to us to proclaim to the world.

The proclamation of these truths is to be our work, the world is to be warned, and God's people are to be true to the trust committed to them.

You know, that is a solemn yet exciting trust that God has given to us.

The most solemn message ever given to any human being.

That means that the message we have, the 3 angels' messages, are more important than the message that Noah gave before the flood came.

They're more important than even John the Baptist as he prepared for the coming of Christ.

They're more important than the Protestant Reformers.

And look, all of those messages were crucial for that time.

But the reason why our message is the most important is because our message prepares the way for Jesus Christ to come the last time, amen?

And as I have studied for this message today, I find that that message is encapsulated in our scripture reading for this morning Hebrews chapter 10 verses 35 through 39.

And again our message for this morning is Jesus and the third angel.

Hebrews chapter 10 verses 35 through 39, I'm going to read this again.

Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.

You realize that we must have confidence in the coming of Jesus Christ.

Now is not the time to cast away our confidence in the coming of Jesus Christ.

Now is not the time to cast away our confidence in the coming of Jesus in the clouds of heaven.

Because it has great recompense of reward.

And so Paul continues, the author of Hebrews in verse 36, for you have need of patience, that after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.

Verse 37, for yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

We must not cast away our confidence because Jesus is coming in yet a little while.

Verse 38 says, Now the just shall live by faith.

I want to take us through this passage and understand more completely what is Paul talking about when he says, look, after you've done the will of God, then Jesus will come.

He says after you have done the will of God, you will receive the promise, which is Jesus coming again.
