Are We Living in the Last Days? - 2 Peter 1-3 - Skip Heitzig

- When it comes to the last days or the end times or, for that matter, any Bible prophecy, there is no shortage of speculation and sensationalism. Every generation has its doomsday preachers predicting the end of everything, trying to fit current events into the predictive prophecy so prevalent in Scripture. Yet one day the world will end. So what are the last days and what are the characteristics of that time period? Let’s consider five features.
This teaching is from the series 20/20: Seeing Truth Clearly with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Church.
00:00 Introduction
08:13 Foreseen by Scripture
18:45 Focused on Christ
26:16 Filled with Apostasy
35:26 Framed by Skepticism
39:41 Faced with Hope
We are indeed!!! Be prepared that even when death happens before that, to be absent in the body is to be present with The Lord!!! Blessings and love from Penang, Malaysia!! 🌺🌿🌻🌿🦋🌸🌿🌼🌿🐞💕🙏🏽🕊🇲🇾
Amen! We should occupy and win others to Christ while we are still here.
When a preacher preach from the bible and use it through the whole preaching - this is what we get - A VERY good preaching which creates hope and knowledge about what to expect as a CHristian. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS PREACHING. God bless you..................
Amen to that!! Great word!
I’m with you on that I don’t like 1 verse and a 30 -45 min story the Bible interprets the Bible back up everything you say with the Bible
Now does that count as showing it on the screen ? I know right from wrong. Or who to listen to or who to trust. Even when I trust the rare few people. They don’t need to show talk or prove regular scripture. I trust them. I just use common sense ...... but not everything is in the Bible so we can relate to logic.....
A priest in Kautokeino ,Norway was attacked by doctors in Kautokeino in newspapers and even convinced the bishop to criticise the priest and suspend him. Just because he talks and reads from The Bible. Doctors and police have nothong against traditions of men , but reading from The Bible then you are in psychotic trance . a threat to public. Even here in a small corner of the world when a norwegian comes and is priest reads and talk out from The Bible then that exposes the false teachings what indigneous people have been victim of.
Norwegian government have misused The Bible and word of the God to steal our land.
I need help I am not a beggar I'm worried about my situation I am poor Please help me $50 food I don't want much God bless you
Yes!!! We are... Biblical prophecy unfolding before our eyes. Fig Tree Generation is upon us. Accept Jesus as your Savior while you still can and stay in his word daily. He is coming SOON. 👑🕊🙏
I think his question is whether or not we’re living in the “latter days.” There are many passages about the latter days in the Old Testament.
Moreover, there are three chapters in the Gospels the reference the latter days: Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. These passages all refer to the “beginning of sorrows.”
After carefully studying these passages, I came to the conclusion that these aren’t the latter days. However, I believe that God will use the pandemic for his Glory.
One of his uses for the pandemic is to shake the nations, but more importantly the pandemic has shaken the foundations of eve church. Ultimately, the pandemic is a call to get our priorities straight and get in alignment with His purpose so we can do his work.
Theres a lot more passages that refer to the end times. Timothy, Daniel, Revelation, Zechariah. If you think were not living in the end times you need to seriously brush up on your eschatology.
@@GhostMonkey772
I have trouble understanding the symbols that are embedded in the end times passages, due to intellectual disabilities. I would agree that we are seeing parts of Timothy’s passage on the end times being fulfilled. However, most of Revelation hasn’t occurred yet because we are still in the church age.
Moreover, the symbols of the end times that everyone will see: the great falling away, the revealing of the man of lawlessness, and the abomination of desolation also haven’t occurred yet.
In order for the abomination of desolation referenced in Daniel 9:27 to be fulfilled, a third temple has to built in Israel. Only after the temple is built can the abomination of desolation - perpetuated by the antichrist - occur. The fulfillment of this prophecy will usher in the great tribulation.
@@doraashby Well you know a lot actually. Think about humanity in the last 100 years. We have seen the re establishment of Israel as a nation. That is a 2000 year old prophecy found in Ezekiel. Many refer to this as the Figtree generation. Knowledge has increased and moves to and fro about the earth. This is a passage found in Daniel speaking on the end times. In the last 100 years we have the automobile, the plane, the internet. Prior to this we had horses. There is now nuclear power enough to destroy the entire earth 10x over. "As it was in the days of Noah so will it be in the last days" just like Sodom and Gomorrah. We see a perversion of Gods word and increase of homosexuality. Then we see Timothy's passage fulfilled beware in the final days perilous times will come. We also see climate change on a rapid scale breaking records constantly. Strange signs in the heavens. Scoffers saying where is the promise of his coming for all things continue as they have from the start. You can see the preparation for the third temple also. Also the technology leading to the mark of the beast currently exists. Were also in a worldwide plague. There are also wars and rumors of wars and rumors of ww3. Christian persecution is at an all time high worldwide. We also see the shadows of global governance and a push for unity between all religions. The signs are everywhere.
@@GhostMonkey772
I agree that the re-establishment of Israel is important for the end times, because of the importance of a temple in end times prophecy. The fact that Jews are planning to build a third temple is encouraging, however, there is currently a mosque where the temple should be. The presence of the mosque is preventing the temple from being built, but this prophecy like all others in the Bible will be fulfilled according to God’s will.
Moreover, the fact that knowledge I agree that because knowledge is available via a simple Google search the prophecy in Daniel has been fulfilled. The explosion of technology is also a sign of human ingenuity.
The increase of homosexuality is both a fulfillment of the phrase “in the days of Noah” and a result of the fallen world we live in. The fulfillment of Timothy’s prediction is a testament to the me centered world we live in today, however, the passage in Timothy could also be seen through the lens of the regeneration that happens at salvation.
Climate change is a result of our refusal to take care of the environment God has given us. In the Garden of Eden God asked Adam and Eve to be be good stewards of the things he had given them. We have failed to be good stewards of the environment and have used it for selfish gains instead of God’s glory leading to climate change.
If by signs in the heavens you mean: the sun and moon being darkened, the moon turning to blood, and falling stars I haven’t seen those yet. But if by signs in the heavens you mean planetary alignment and solar eclipses we’ve seen these recently.
I have trouble recognizing the signs of a one world government and religion, could you elaborate on those signs. Moreover, even though the technology for the mark of the beast is available, the beast/antichrist must be revealed before the mark can be distributed.
This might not be related to end times prophecy, but there is a large number of people ordering the New Testament in Israel. This is a sign that Jews are understanding that the Old Testament speaks about Jesus and the prophetic significance of Jesus’ genealogy, life, death, and resurrection.
The persecution of Christians who follow and teach the Bible shouldn’t shock us because it has always happened. A part of the reason biblical Christianity is being persecuted against is because it’s teachings aren’t what the world wants to hear. We are called to rejoice when being persecuted and love those who persecute us. Suffering persecution is a powerful way to mimic how Jesus lived.
I’m not sure of this is a sign or not, but there is a large number of people ordering the New Testament in Israel. This is a sign that Jews are understanding that the Old Testament speaks about Jesus and the prophetic significance of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
It mades me so grateful for these teachings that give me hope of seeing Jesus and my loved ones one day Amen 🙏
When Our Lord and Savior returns for us, it will be like a thief in the night. Accept Him as your Savior and be ready. These are very challenging times with many events unfolding around us.
My Grandma taught 'now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep, like the wee bird in the tree loving father care for me, glad and well may I awake this I ask for Jesus sake".
Amen! I never heard that prayer before. Very sweet, thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for that. It is a reminder how good God is. It expresses trust in God alone in Jesus name. I have experienced much so this reminds me to be thankful for who God is. He will not forsake those who trust in Him and wait for Him.
I thank you for this in Jesus name and with the prayer you wrote here.
We all must do our part and spread the good news while we still can be bold be brave be humble but be quick he is on his way
Pastor Skip Heitzig's sermon was what I needed to hear. Keep your eye on the sky and your hand to the plow. I agree with him that if Christ returns in 2021, God willing I'm ready! So ready to leave this horrific world! I will listen to Pastor Skip, again!
so where will you be going? and what are you doing in order to get there?
@@4111JoJo Ummm Heaven is where I'm going. You do not get to Heaven by works, however, Christians are to live according to God's word. You seem rather oblivious to what I'm talking about. Are you a Christian?
sorry but I totally understood what you were saying very well. some believe all one has to do in order to get to "Heaven", is believe/ have faith. you said one "don't go to Heaven because his works. Christians are to live according to God's word." if one is living "according to God's word." then we have to believe, but also do the works! here's God's word by means of Jesus brother James ,(James 2: 21,22 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?).
scriptures doesn't lie! so are you still willing to say that ..."You do not get to Heaven by works?" again if we're living accordingly to God's word. then that means we're doing what he ask, which is the works! so... do you believe those who is NOT living according to God's word will go to Heaven? because I've heard many who live in a way NOT pleasing to God. yet believe they will go to Heaven! and yes, I am a "Christian."
But no one knows the time the hour or the date when jesus will return to the earth
@@susanrichmond5869 Jesus won't return to Earth. he was sent by his Father one time and one time ONLY. that was to teach his true followers in the ways in which to walk. as well as learning about his Father, besides dying for us so that we "MIGHT" LIVE.
when Jesus said eye will see him coming on a cloud ,(Matt. 24:30 referring
50 years ago on September 12 1972 I gave my life to Jesus, I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour. I was 18 years old. I want to thank the Lord for his amazing grace, his unconditional love and his faithfulness into my life during all these years. As Dr. David Jeremiah said in one of his sermon: "In the past I have been saved from the penalty of sin. In the present I am being saved from the power of sin. In the future I will be saved from the presence of sin. " Amen ! We are living at the end of the end time. Jesus is coming to rapture the church anytime. We born again Christians are going to be taken with Jesus before the tribulation. Amen ! Come Jesus come !
Thank you Pastor Skip for allowing me to understand that the last days could end today.... to fix my eyes to Jesus🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
At 65 years old, I have felt like I'm just waiting the end out. I haven't applied myself to the scriptures to learn who God is or what he has for me. Please pray that this little widow will receiving a calling from God. Or else, why go on? Thank you
The cool thing Kimberly, is that God already knows you, so it’s up to you to call on Him now and start inviting him to your life. In 2008, I started listening to Pastor Skip’s online sermons and would also attend on Wednesday night. I also started reading the Bible on my own and asking God to please guide me and help me to understand his word and to just use faith to apply his word. Try to search his past sermons and listen to them while you read his notes he provides as an attachment. It’s super helpful in helping you understand the Bible. Just start talking with God, it’s easier than you think! Of course, if you can attend in person it will be cool to be in a room with other people, some new and old believers, or just curious people; my point is to be around others may be helpful ... Hope this helps sister, you got this 💜🙌🏽
I know that feeling I have had these very same thoughts pray for each other ❤️
@@cayarudegal Thank you so much for reaching out to me. I have wanted to ask for prayer from Skip's team for a long time, but I think I just finally got desperate enough to do so! Thank you for specific ways I can counter my fears/discouragements such as reading God's word and stay turned in to Skip Heitzig. His sermons always get right through my delusions! Thank you for caring!
@@kimberlyglunz1383 you’re very welcome 🥰 and I’ve come to realize, for me at least, delusional seems to be the vehicle to clarity... and I’ve had many seasons of delusion haha they come and go Kimberly, but Each time I spend less time there cuz I hear Gods voice 😎🌹
@@cayarudegal What good news! So I just stay believing God. Great idea!
Eye on the sky, hand on the plow...good words to help me live in balance.
God bless you Pastor, God bless every genuine heart seeking after God, from Australia
@@beckydavid2863 n. Mmm#!!
I appreciate Any pastors who bring out Revelations and scriptures of warnings signs Jesus gives. The leaders suppose to teach and give us a warning what’s in the Bible and what’s in the world....love his preaching and bringing his flock of sheep’s to watch out for it...❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
I use to listen to Skip a lot when I was in my 20s. I don't know what happened did he go off the radio? Somehow I lost his ministry. Yesterday when I put TH-cam on a very familiar voice began to speak. I thought to myself I know that voice, Skip No Way! To my surprise it was skip!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Wow!
After all these years!! I'm 57 years old now and I'm so happy to have your ministry back in my life. God bless you!!!!!
Skip must have been only about 12 years old when you used to listen to him. Haha 😂 he don’t seem that old
@@Amaranthian450 I thinking we are about the same age. So if I listened in my twenties he would have been in his twenties.
I've been looking for a new "internet" pastor over the last couple of years as my personal preferences have slowly declined or died off. As one who sees himself as a mature Christian and claiming truth of the Word, I think I have found him after listening to Pastor Heitzig several times. Thank you, Skip. God continues to provide we Christians not only guidance but counselors each generation.
I am very much impressed with the workings of this Church, and God willing one day will accompany them on a trip to Jordan to assist at Tall el-Hammam - the initial reason I "found" Calvary Church. Best wishes...

@@ourlifeinwashington4114- Thank you!
I find it spiritually sound from a well read pastor with a book I'm very familiar. If you can find anything wrong with the teaching, be specific and state as much. If not, I'm not interested in what you might think.
He is yet another con man.
Give it a rest and put a sock in it, troll.
Thank you for preaching this message! So many preachers seem to avoid this message these days and I believe it’s so important-especially now! People are looking for answers and Jesus Christ is the only one to navigate us through these treacherous times
I certainly need to hear it, because I’m a new Christian and I came to the faith because I could see that indeed good and evil are real, and as a recent college grad, I saw that the sick academic theories forced down our throats in public universities have thoroughly corrupted our social behavior and govt policies. That is evil, and even I as an atheist could see that. This realization pushed me to Christ.
Jesus Iam waiting for Your coming and I believe Acts 16: 31,I must stand for You Lord Jesus,,,,,glory to Your name,,,Amen,,
Amen, praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🙏🙏
Watching and praying from India 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent points how the entire bible is focused on Jesus.
Saint Skip, this teaching is SO profound and DEEPLY needed in the Body of Christ-GOD Personally Bless you, Thanks 😊👍👌😁 -gnoszco BOTH, THANK-YOU, Most HOLY Spirit!!! Glory 💕😍 to You 😜!!! 😳 Worthy of ALL Praise, Glory and HONOR due. Hallelujah-Marantha
I heard a pastor once say, "We have been in the last days since the ascension of Christ."
I have never forgotten it.
It was a great blessing. I myself am a preacher and it encourages me to do the right things and live the right way. God bless you.
There's only a handful of pastors or preachers that I listen to on TH-cam and Skip is one of them.
Do you "Skip" the others?

@@DiscoverJesus oh funny!!!
@70 A.D. pretty much every decent pastor that I know will say that the last 2000 years actually is the last days but what you're thinking about is the end of times which is different that's the time around the tribulation and I think that people are getting that confused with each other. Trust me this guy's pretty much spot on but you can't rely on a human being 100% you can only rely on God for that. Ravi Zacharias kind of showed this unfortunately.
God Bless!!!
Just finished Genesis with my Bible study group, with Skip! Awesome study. Starting Exodus this week.
Maranatha means more than just he's coming, it means " He's on the Way "...
I have been hearing about this for 69 years
Don't think that Lord Jesus Christ will be late or not come because you have been listening this for "69 years" We need him more than ever stay awake for no one will know when he comes.
Then you know time is Definitely running out!! I'm 72, time is running out for you and me. No one is Promised Tomorrow!!
We are definitely in the last days and I am looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ! Titus 2:13🙏🏻🙄🔥
Beautiful and Absolutely Powerful..!!
Eyes on the sky...and Hands on the plow.....!!.....Wow..
what meaningful and practical attitude of our hearts..... should we nurture....while awaiting Jesus's coming for His Church...His Beloved Bride....!!
I love your teachings Pastor Skip...
with crystal clear clarity..and
Excellent style..
Bless you Pastor and your team..
Thank you so much ....

Brilliant explanation and analysis with weaving of the scriptures. Thank you Pastor Skip so very much 👌🙏👏👏
Another fruitful preaching. Thank you. God bless us all 💜
Thank you Pastor Skip for a beautiful enlightened Sermon and Message. Yes as Jesus told Thomas: "Blessed are they that don't see But believe", it's all about Faith!. I can see you're Running On Faith 100%, may Our Heavenly Father keep blessing you abundantly. I think soon we'll be going home. 🕊🎚🕊

I too wait for my Lords second coming. The late teacher Harold Predicted 1994 and I fell for it.
When it comes my hope has never left me. Thankfully our Lord knows our hearts. Thank you for your powerful sermon.
Brilliant Presentation... thank you Pastor Skip..🙏
I LOVE this. The focus of the last days is not the anti-Christ, but Jesus Christ!
Solid sound practical preaching. Thks so much. God bless!
Live as if each day is the last day cause we'll never know when is our appointed time. That is why we cannot boast about tomorrow.
Exactly Right !!
Love this teaching, word for word from the bible!
We are in the last, of the last of the LAST DAYS. As in the clock, we are 5 min. before midnight.
Yes. We are. Very last days Antichrist coming soon
My mom taught me that prayer also... But she replaced ' if I should die...' etc. with 'the angels guard me through the night, and wake me to the morning light'.... Cuz you're right, the former is way too heavy for a little kid.

ThiS does not seem to be a post from Pastor Skip. This is a scam.
I had the original as a little kid. I survived just fine.
truthful Biblical teaching ...thank you so much ...
79 yearsold waiting for Jesus listen to the word as much as you can .it is a lamp to your feet. Be not comformed to this world but .be not conformed to this world .JESUS IS LORD OF ALL
It’s here for sure . Let’s Make Ourselves Ready To Meet Our Lord Jesus Christ
Amazing message!!!!!
Hi Ebony. Yes, great teaching
So glad you brought these things back to my mind. I've been guilty of the internet bickering. Great reminder to put me back on track. Thank you
We are in the last hour
Great teaching 🙏💕
thank for sharing and good video
Yes 😅 (!) I did enjoy the message! Thank you so much!! 🌹
Thanks for the vid !! The end times are so much clearer to me !!! Amen 🙏❤️
You explain things so well! Thank you
Thank you so much for this words of encouragement 🙏🏼❤️
Love your neighbor as you love yourself. That is the most important commandment. I believe God will judge your heart and deeds on 🌍
It's actually not the most important commandment lol
True but we are challenged snd encouraged and warned to make sure we are in the faith and not deceive ourselves.
reading your comment again, God has already judged us as sinners, its whether we believe in Jesus that saves us, every one of us deserves hell.
we will be judged according to Paul's gospel
Romans 2:16 KJV
Pauls Gospel is
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
@@Nick-Kcin Yes but we will be judged by our works says the Word of God God's judgement in the Bible, I perceived from many verses is to do us righteousness, and to acquit us from guilt.
Yes but? see there is no but, you can not be good enough to save yourself
Jesus did the work for you, it is a free gift,
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
you are painfully deceived my friend
you are relying on boasting your works to save you when you are judged, I'm afraid you will be turned away. Our only boast is Jesus and his finished work. He deserves all the glory, no man will be able to boast.
If you have more questions i will be glad to answer them and point you to Jesus and not anything of yourself.
Thank you for the enlightenment
I feel that we are in end times
Thank you Pastor Heitzig. Your message helped me overcome my fear of the end times. I know there is no need for me to fear these things because I have placed my faith and hope in Christ.
I came to faith in Christ on January 6th 2019, and haven’t looked back since. I plan to serving my Lord and Savior in accordance to scriptures regarding the limits to the service of women in the church.
Your message has prepared me to stand up for my faith during these complicated times in hopes of showing others what Jesus has done in my life. If skeptics are willing to hear my salvation story. I hope that by hearing my testimony skeptics would realize: their need for Jesus, the power of repentance, and the forgiveness of God. I hope that these realizations will help skeptics come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
I agree with your statement that the end times began at the ascension of Jesus Christ. However, I don’t believe that we’re in the final days of history, because the “fullness of the gentiles” hasn’t come in yet.
The apostasy you described in this teaching is foreshadowing of the great apostasy described in the New Testament. I agree that our focus should be on Jesus while we “occupy until he comes.”
Your teaching helped me connect the Old Testament teachings about the “Day of the Lord,” and the New Testament teachings of Jesus and John in Matthew, Mark, Luke and Revelation. Thank you for explaining this in a away that alleviates my fears.
However, I have a question regarding praying for the salvation of others. Should I continue to pray for the salvation of others or is it too late for them to accept Jesus as their savior?
Why would you think it is too late for others to accept Christ as their Savior? Jesus may not return for another 2,000 years. As long as you're in this world, witness to others about being Saved by Jesus Christ. I am hoping for Christ's return soon though. Blessings to you
@@swimmygo
Thank you for your help regarding praying for the salvation of others. I probably should have phrased the question differently. I understand that it’s not to late for people to accept Jesus as their savior.
I pray for Christ’s return every night. However, I understand that God has a plan and only he knows when Jesus will return.
Moreover, Jesus tells us the signs of his return in the first three Gospels. When we begin to see these signs we have no need to be afraid because we’re one step closer to eternity with Jesus in the New Heavens and New Earth.
As Christians we are instructed to “get our houses in order” and prepare for His return. This preparation is spiritual and not material.
Thank you for your comment and kind words. You, along with many other Christians, have encouraged me to witness to others. Do you have any advice for witnessing during COVID-19?
@@doraashby Prayer walking in your community is important even if you are under tight restrictions for Covid and you could offer to do a Bible study with a friend ? How about choosing 7 people in your life who don't yet know Jesus and setting an alarm on your phone to remind you to pray for one each day and out of that seek opportunities to serve them and speak to them about your faith. You don't need to know all the Answers to be effective in evangelism because it is chiefly a work of God which He does as we tell the truth about Jesus. X
Excellent teaching
Thank you for teaching
Powerful message
My dad’s business was called Maranatha!
God bless your Dad
Thank You 🙏.
Thank you for looking out of the Eyes of Christ, as far as possible for us, at this case. I also do not place my trust in a human being. Not about hurt or any such thing, just because we can all fall face first in a muddy pool. Repent, praise our Good, Good God and pray not to stumble and IF we do, to know the Faithfulness of our God to take us through and out of this. God bless you and yours sir.
I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......yes indeed i enjoy listening to this dear man of God and I much pray God's peace and comfort on him and his family each and everyday and that God uses him and his ministry mightily to much glorify and lift high the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!! to God Be All The Glory!!!!! Great Things He Hath Done!!!!!! and all hail king Jesus!!!!! the king of kings and the lord of lords!!!!!! however folks these days are getting darker and Christ is coming soon and if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
Shalom
Peace and Grace be to you all.
Thank you for this upload.
If i may:
Hosea 6:2 (KJV)
2 After *two days* will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.
(Talking about the Jewish nation of Israel and His people)
2 Peter 3:8 (KJV)
8 But, beloved, *be not ignorant of this one thing,* that *one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,* and a thousand years as one day.
God bless. Amen.

Peter also says “since all things will come undone what kind of people should we be ? You ought to live holy and godly lives And Hebrews talks about being holy without which No one will see the lord”
Im blessed. Amen
Wow! This preach opened my eyes to many things. In everyday life, living among unbelievers, I end up asking myself "Is the problem with me?"
That is, people give me their version of how they look at life and they think I am abnormal and I end up asking myself such a question, when in fact the Bible speaks of the fact that in the last days the truth will be perverted. Congratulations on the sermon was and it is very constructive for my life. GBY ( sorry for my bad english)
AMEN AND AMEN PASTOR
yes i really believe we are in the last days as well, you are right, thank you.
I just finished one of Skip’s older series on Spiritual Warfare. Relevant and needed today.
It definitely feels like we are! I’ve been back and forth between prayer and Sin. I struggled with alcohol very bad. I’ve hurt myself very badly due to alcoholism. I broke my leg in two places in May,30 202. I got blacked out drunk and slipped down the stairs with my 5 month baby in my hand. Thank goodness she was ok!!🙏 I’ve been out of work for 4 months, lost all my money that we were saving to buy a house. I feel like it was a calling because now more focused than ever. My wife and I have been learning about our father in heaven and he has healed me from drinking. My body does not crave it anymore, which felt impossible Alcoholic ruled my life. I’m trying very hard because I want to be up there with him. It gives me great joy, that if he came today, my two baby girls will be ok. I guess that’s what really matters to me. I’m terrified to have them grow up in this evil world.
Holidays are very questionable now.
While he is still be found keep seeking Himand call to Him Jesus still hears you...

Are we in the last days? Just before the election on October 30th there was an earthquake in Turkey. It wasn’t a 6.9 or a 7.1 but a perfect 7.0 right in the midst of the seven churches mentioned in Revelation. The earthquake was closet to Ephesus that very church which Jesus said left their first love. It seems the “shaking” is still going on.
Jesus Christ and Him crucified
You look like you're about to roll out the newest Apple tech. Love ya brother.
Howdy cowboy
@@texas7123 howdy Tex. I love Texas its the last hope for our country for freedom.

Have a nice weekend my friend
"Therefore comfort one another with these words." (1Thessalonians 4:18).
I LIKE YOUR SHIRT Pastor...thnx
apostate means those who fell away. they were in, they heard the truth, and they departed. so apostates are from within.
Yep. Exactly right. Can’t be an apostate if you never believed.
We are in the last days. God gave me one word for 2022! Intense! This means everything we have seen in 2021 will be just intensified. More natural disasters, chaos, sickness and diseases. Calamity and division and these things will happen in a shorter period of time! Things will not go back to normal they will only proceed to get more intense until his coming. Prepare yourself for inflation and shortage of food and water.
I also asked myself when will I stop believing in pretribulation. After the first seal is open, the last seal! God helps them who helps themselves! God will always do his part and we will have ours! Signs are there for a reason!
🤘🏼❤️ this!!! you.
with all the sick and twisted ways people live today and treat each other, I couldnt imagine that there would be that many years left as I could quess that God is not pleased at the world as of today
The bible has been changed. Supernaturally.
So true amen
Thank you for this 🙂
This is why my friend didn't believe in God for but i try to get him to believe but all this crazy stuff happens but God never come back. I just say God will.
Remind your friends that they may Die Anytime!! That would show that They are Actually Living in Their Last Days !!
He is coming soon!
Though I am most definitely NOT a Dispensationalist as Calvary church is. This was a very good balanced message. In particular it was refreshing to hear from Dispensationalist church that the last days are from the first and second coming which is biblical and NOT from 1948. Also good to hear him point out false prophecies of Hal Lyndsay who is Dispensational. I am from the UK but lived in Albuquerque 1998-99 and used to attend a small OPC church just down the road from Calvary with 3-4 services on Sunday.
@@beckydavid2863 Thank you Skip for your reply. I am wondering if you meant this above reply to go to someone else (as it does seem related to my initial comment)? The Lord bless you and keep you.
I meant to say 'does not seem related to my initial comment'.
I feel so much hate in this world. Everytime I drive people are tailgating me. As I scan the radio dial there's so much rap music full of hate/killing/sex, etc. When I'm at the mall I see people with blue hair & ear disc, tattoos etc. It's all very ugly to me. I just wanna be gone from this place.
I want gone. Ive sufferred for 44 years. Abuse, bullying, fear, anxiety, failure, anger. I want jesus to come tonight. If i live till my fathers age then i have 46 years of despair left.
@@pauleng883 ...I just read your comment & will be praying for you...Jesus changed my life around & I managed to cope with many many problems...I can't really discuss here.
I got out of the church because they are lying & the Holy sprit is no longer there.
looking good, steve jobs!
Hallelujah!!! I’m in the 30% and not of works, lest any man should boast.
🙏 for me
Great lecture Pastor Skip. What do you think of Dr Don Stewarts "25 signs that we are in the last time"....and what do you think of the drastic increases in knowledge and travel ? I think the world has been fast-tracked since 1945, then 1948, current mid-east geopolitics
You have read about me I have taken political asylum in this country I've been worried for five years No one has helped me yet I need help so much brother I am not a beggar
I'm worried about my situation I have no one in this country I'm alone Help me for god's sake I'm very worried Can I leave this country? Because I am very worried in this country Here again you do me a favor Brother, I really need four things
No food + I have no clothes + I don't have a house to live in Need some cooking utensils You can't even think
How can I survive in such a situation?
I have nothing help me brother god bless you
In my prayers brother keep growing in Jesus Christ and trust him pray to him with all heart he will surely save you and take you out of every bad place and thing in the Precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord God Amen Hallelujah✝️🕊✨🙌🙌
