Here again is the King's Heralds quartet, the offer, an old song but a new arrangement of who at my door is standing. The voice I hear sweetly the are. Open the door for me. I will with me sweetly are open. The door for Here now is HMS Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker is subject. We have some questions. Dear voice of prophecy, I've been told that when Jesus comes a second time, he will come secretly and for proof. I was told to read First Thessalonians four 16 and 17. Where does one get any idea of secrecy out of that? Well, that's my answer too. Where would it be? Let's read the verse you mentioned for the Lord himself, shall ASC descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the ark angel, with the Trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. According to the wording of this description of our Lord's return, there will be three sounds. The sound of the voice, the sound of the shall, the sound of the Trump of God. In addition, the graves will be turned open. The resurrected saints will shout, hold death. Where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? First Corinthians 1555. What a joyous time that will be for all God's people who are caught up to meet the Lord in the air, but think also the great whale of a loss addressed to the rocks and mountains fallen us in, hide us from the face of him that sit us on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb. Revelation six 16, Jesus used the word secret only once in reference to his second coming. Here it is in Matthew 24 26. Where for if they shall say unto you, behold he's in the desert, go not forth. Behold, he's in the secret chambers. Believe it not, there's certainly no comfort in these verses for any teaching of a secret return of our Lord. On the other hand, we are admonished here not to believe anyone who might say that he has come secretly Christ coming is not to be secret. For as the lightning cometh out of the east and shineth even of the west said, Jesus so shall also the coming of the Son of man be Matthew 24 27. Dear sir, don't you think the preaching of the Christian faith has now reached practically all the world answer? It has reached spots in practically all the world, but in the last minute, the world population has increased By 83 during the last hour, the population of the world has increased by about 5,000 people. Since this time yesterday, it has increased 120,000 a pretty good size city. Since this time last year, it has increased nearly 44 million have 44 million people received the Christian faith in the last 12 months. Think about it. The population of the world is growing faster than the effective preaching of Christ is being brought to them. For example, Arabia with 7 million population has fewer than 50 native Christians in the whole country. In New York City with at least 8 million people, nearly 55% are unaffiliated with any faith. Whatever time Magazine says that 27% are Catholics, a little over 10% are Jews and 7% Protestants. This leaves over half the population of that city without any religious faith, and this is a city in a so-called Christian land. The great meetings of Billy Graham in New York must have brought the gospel to the attention of millions. Jesus said, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the come Matthew 24 14 let us do our part faithfully to proclaim the gospel by life, by word, by sacrificial giving question. Do you think God really knows what we're doing all the time? Answer the Bible says, thou knowest my down sitting and my uprising. Thou understand this. My thought of far off Psalm 139, 2, in these days of rapidly advancing science, it would be ridiculous for anyone to deny that the creator does not know everything is going on. When by our modern electronic devices we can keep in touch with people, see them, hear them even count their heartbeats a thousand miles away. By the way, an ultra-high speed camera has just been invented, which can take pictures at the rate of 4 million a second, believe it or not, as many as five exposures in sequence can be made in a single plate of film with exposure time as short as 20 milliseconds, whatever that is, or less than one 50th of a millionth of a second question. Why does God not take us out of this world if he does not want us to be contaminated by it? Well, God's people are in the world, but they're not of it. Jesus said, I have given them thy word and the world have hated them because they're not of the world even as I am not of the world. John 1714, Jesus prayed that they might be kept from the evil. Verse 15, God's people are in this world for a purpose. In verse 18, we read, as thou has sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. In Matthew five 13, we read that Jesus says of his people, ye are the salt of the earth now salts are preservative. God's people are on this earth to be a blessing to others. Some scientists had written of a certain little spider in South America that has a home under the water. It has the power forming a bubble about itself in which like a diving bell, it sinks to the bottom and remains there for hours breathing the air from above which it has taken down with it. When it comes to the surface, it's perfectly dry. No moisture penetrates the atmosphere in which it lives, so it may be with Christ's true believers. While in this world we may be surrounded with heavenly atmosphere and live for him here and now and bless others with our influence and witness. Here's another question about God's all knowledge. What does this text mean? Thou God's sees me. Genesis 1613. In answer, we suggest that it means just what it says. We read also in Psalm 33 13, the Lord Lucas from heaven, he behold us all the sons of Amen. From the place of his habitation, he lucas us upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashion us their hearts alike. He considerate all their works. That's plain, isn't it? The 18th, 19th verses of the same Psalm read, behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him upon them, that hope in his mercy to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Mr. Wesley news agent arrived home late one afternoon, found his wife and children had gone to the zoo. He was just having a little snack as relaxed in the living room. As he finished his sandwich, he said to himself, I hope they got there. All right. Then he turned on his TV set to see if there was anything worth looking at. The first thing you saw was his wife and children at the zoo and was he surprised? He saw them clearly watched until they went off a screen. Then he said, I had no idea that there was to be any television at the zoo and when I turned the TV on, I never dreamed of seeing the zoo and least of all did I expect to see my wife and children. In fact, they did not know that they'd been televised until they returned home. If such televising should become general, many people would be panic stricken in fear that their every action might be open to others, yet millions going about their daily pursuits completely oblivious to the fact that God does not miss an act, an attitude, a word, or even a thought. Dear voice of prophecy, will you please say something about Isaiah 53 verse five? Gladly. Best of all, I will just read that wonderful passage of scripture. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chaman of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed. That's calvary. That's the cross. I think. I'll tell you an old story, a story we've told before on this broadcast, but I'm sure you'd like to hear it again. In a country school in the mountains of West Virginia, a new teacher came to take over. No teacher had ever finished a term there because of trouble made by a group of rowdy boys. In Monto, my new teacher came young man just out of college. He was frail, stoop, shouldered, low chested, not a single physical factor to indicate his ability to cope with the situation. On the day's school opened, he stood and faced this group of bullies and calmly said to the a hundred or more pupils, boys and girls we're going to continue this school through the term. Of course, we're going to have ordered all the time before. We cannot do our work without it. There was an open snare, contemptuous ridicule on many faces. Then the young teacher continued, but do not misunderstand me. I realize I cannot cope with any of you larger boys. I can't make you do anything if you don't wish to do. I don't intend to make a single law enforce it. You will make the rules for yourselves. I propose then that we write on the board such laws as you think we ought to have to govern our school more in the light of bravado than otherwise. One big fellow said, I move sir, that we have a law against stealing. Another says I move. We have a law against lying, so one after another. They made their own rules until 10 had been written on the board stops of the teacher. 10 laws are enough to govern even a nation. They will certainly be sufficient to govern us here at school, but law must be maintained, you know, and if it's violated, the offender must be punished. What penalty do you suggest? Someone then proposed that whoever violated one of these laws should be whipped by the teacher with a black gum whip and that no quote be worn by the culprit During the punishment days passed, weeks passed. The school term was about a fourth over when one of the larger boys came to the teacher one day and complained that his lunch bucket had been stolen, investigation was made, wasn't long before the crime was fixed in a little fellow conspicuous because of his pinched face, thin body, sal complexion. His coat and trousers were much too big for him as they had been cut down from an old suit of his father's. He always kept his coat buttoned up around his neck. Teacher called him up to the front. The boy soon made his confession. Yes, I took it and I must bear my punishment, but please let me keep my coat on. Teacher said the rules say the coat has to be taken off. Take it off. The lad pleaded last, losing patience. The teacher demanded the court be removed. When the boy obeyed, he stood before the school with nothing on saves trousers. He had no shirt, no under clothes. He stood there humiliated, expecting the blows. The teacher's face went white. He hesitated, yet the law must be enforced. The penalty paid. Then he said to the boy, why did you do such a thing? Little fellow answered between his sobs. My father died in August. His last wish was that I should be educated. Mother said she would take in washing and do scrubbing to earn our living so I could go to school. She's been sick now for two weeks. There's nothing at home to eat for two days. We've had only little soup and a crust of bread and yesterday, nothing. I'm so hungry. That's what made me eat. Willie's lunch. Teacher hesitated. Then a big boy from the back of the room cried out. Wait a minute, Mr. Teacher, I'll take Jim's whipping for him though I didn't break the law. Teacher put it to a vote and the school agreed. John walked to the front, took off his coat. Benny's shoulders bore the punishment. When the teacher had finished, you looked at the little culprit and said, nah, Jim, come and take your punishment. School's up in arms. No, no, you can't do that. You can't punish two boys for the same thing. You agreed to let John take Jim's punishments. You can't punish Jim for what John's already suffered. The teacher smiled and said, that's right. I just wanted to prove to you that the law has been vindicated and while the law is just, it's also merciful. Jim does go free from any further punishment. Little Jim ran over to John through his arms around his knees and with tears trickling down his cheeks, said, John, I'll I love you all my life. What do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you want me to do. I'm yours from now on. Well, that illustrates Isaiah 53, doesn't it? The son of God, our Lord Jesus bore the penalty, which was our due for having transgressed the holy law of God. Can we not say to him, Lord Jesus, I'll love you all my life for doing what you did for me. Whatever you wish me to do, I'll do. I'm yours from now on forever. You see, he bore our punishment, which we couldn't bear. He took the death, which if we'd taken we'd had no resurrection. When we really believe in him, you see we commit ourselves to him. He was nailed the cross for us. There was one who was willing to die in my the of my life. Forgive cross laws. Jesus went with me while he cleanses. My heart of its, but there's no condemnation. I know Im free for my sins are on Jesus went. Listen again next week for another broadcast presented by the voice of prophecy. The power of God knows no equal, so let us keep looking up, going forward in faith. Have faith in God. Each puzzled heart and mind. Have faith in God and his true answer. Find, have faith in God, the merciful and kind have faith. Dear friend in God.
