We had our missionary, I think I shared this with you, call me Long Distance from Tokyo in Japan. And he said, Hank, he said, I’ve been watching those worship services on the Internet. And he says, they’ve just been exactly what I’ve needed to be able to use that material to use with the Japanese people to lead them to Christ. So the program has been a blessing to him and we have missionaries, we have people in the military, people all around the planet and across this country that are watching our worship services as well as listening to our radio programs and you’re welcome to try that out for yourself.

BibleLineMinistries.org. BibleLineMinistries.org. Tonight, today is 9-11 and of course we certainly feel badly for all the families that lost loved ones in a terrible tragedy that struck America. But on this special occasion we have a guest tonight, Gershan Salomon, who is the man who may build the Third Temple in Israel. And he’ll be here tonight at 7 o’clock. If you are in the area you might want to come out and hear him and you will get a chance to maybe ask some questions and shake his hand and you will be meeting the man perhaps that is actually cut the stones for the temple that Jesus Christ will return to.

After the rapture the third temple will be built and we know that the antichrist will enter it first and defile it in the middle of the tribulation period. And then we find that the end of the seven-year tribulation period, Jesus will come back, defeat the Antichrist, cleanse the temple. He establishes his worship right there in Jerusalem as he will rule over the whole earth from the temple. It’s exciting and I hope you’ll be here tonight and you’re invited to bring your friends and guests.

And that’s at seven o’clock tonight at Kelvary Community Church 4811 George Road. That’s just the block west of the Tampa International Airport. Midway between Memorial and Hillsborough highway is easy to find and if you need help give us a call or go to MapQuest and if you go to our website We’ve already got our address plugged in all you have to do this type years in it go and it’ll give you the details on how to get exactly from where you live to where the Speaker will be tonight at Calvary Community Church 4811 George Road.

We’re excited and we hope you’ll come out. We’re going to have a lot of fun and it’ll be definitely a Jewish night. As Christians, we believe God is not through with the Jew and he has a future plan and it’s about to take place because he is about ready to end the church age and snatch us up at the Rapture and then he’ll continue his earthly plan for for Israel. By the way, we’re thinking about going to Israel next February.

We have a wonderful trip planned and the brochures are available. All you have to do is call and give us your address and we’ll mail that right out to you. You can also see it on our website at BibleLineMinistries.org and click there on the Bibleline News. And you’ll find this as Israel Tour brochure. Click on that and you can see the whole brochure and print it out but if you’d like to get a nice printed copy we’ll be glad to mail it to you, call us up and get that brochure.

We’re really doing a 17 day trip but broken in two parts you can do just Israel, 10 days which we’re going to see everything in those 10 days. It’ll be marvelous. Everything from the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, the Mediterranean. We’ll see the Jordan with bad guys, people in Jordan. We’ll see the Tomb of Christ. We’ll see about Calvary. We’ll see the Garden of Gethsemane. We’ll just see it all. We’d love to have you be on board for this trip, which is number 16 for me.

You’ll have a great time. But also, before that, there’s a seven-day extension where we’ll go to Cairo and we’ll visit the pyramids in the Cairo Museum, which is filled with 100,000 artifacts. Just an incredible experience. We’ll have a hittacru on the Nile River. will be staying on an island in the center of Cairo, in the center of the Nile River, and it will be a beautiful experience I think you’ll enjoy. We’ll drive along the Exodus route where the Jewish people came out of Israel, and we’ll move our way on up to Elot on the Red Sea.

And we’ll stay there and it’s just a gorgeous spot. The Red Sea is a very clear water. come from all over the world to scuba dive, to jet ski, to water ski, to enjoy the sun and the sand and the water and the beautiful red sea. You’ll get to see that. We’re going to drive into Petra in southern Jordan and see the rock city carved out of the rock thousands of years ago, all ready to go for the Jews to hide from the antichrist in the tribulation.

So lots of good stuff and you can do the pull trip which will be 17 days or just the Israel portion. If you have any questions you can call and ask and of course you’re welcome to call and ask for a brochure to be sent to you. We also have Bibleline Music for Children on our website. It’s in several places if you click on the radio and you get that radio page just scroll down the radio page. You’ll see there’s a banner that says Bibleline music for children.

Click on that. You can sample the different CDs we have and you can sample it with your child or grandchild or nephew or nieces name on in the CD. In other words, it’ll be placed into the CD and when you buy the CD, your child will hear their name about 45 times. It’s captivating. It just opens them up to the gospel. And if you want to lead your children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces to Christ, this really does open the door.

My granddaughter cannot get enough of this CD with her name throughout. It is really special. And it says, as it begins, that she’s special. And you know, when I ask her, are you special, she said yes. How do you know God made me special? you The album has really just opened a great tour of communication. You may want to check that out, Bibleline Music for Children. If you have any questions call our office here and we’ll be glad to direct you.

If you don’t have a computer, we can also give you an 800 number where you can sample it without having a computer. We’re going to get into the Bible for a few minutes and then we’re going to take our callers. We’ve got people already calling in and we’re going to just say another word or two about the temple in Israel. It’s a significant place. You know, it begins all in Genesis, where Abraham was told to go to the mountain called Mariah and offer up his son Isaac.

That is the place that God had designated where he would offer the sacrifice of Jesus. And we know that later, this is the place where he said he would meet with man, and there he He had Solomon build a house or a temple for him. That temple was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in BC 600. And then after the Babylonian captivity, a second temple was built, which is the one that was existing when Jesus came 2,000 years ago. And when Jesus came to that temple, he was rejected.

In that second temple then was destroyed and Jesus predicted that because they rejected him that temple would be destroyed and it happened exactly like he said. And now there’s been no temple for two thousand years. But the Bible says that when Jesus comes back at the second coming he will come suddenly to his temple, Malachi 3-1. And there is no temple there, so how can that happen? Well obviously the temple has to be rebuilt. the fact that the Jewish people have prepared to build that temple is a sign that we are very close to the return of Christ.

And by the way, I just got back from Israel. We saw the preparations that have been made. It’s amazing how there is an excitement in Israel about the building of the Third Temple and we believe that it’s going to be soon. We don’t know when, but I know it will be right after the Rapture. And the Rapture is not a event when God snatches out all the believers, all over the earth, that are believers of this age, which is the Church Age.

And so the Church Age ends at the Rapture, and out we go, and then God will usher in Israel into the Millennium, and He will prepare them during the seven years of tribulation that will follow the Rapture. And it’s exciting. We’re living right on the edge of when things are going to happen and the Bible has predicted these things clearly in Scripture thousands of years ago. That’s why we know the Bible is the word of God. The Bible tells us plainly things that are going to happen.

But the Antichrist, he’s called the Man of Sin, he’s called the Son of Hell, the Son of the tradition, and in 2nd Cusylenians chapter 2, it tells us that he will enter that temple. It couldn’t happen right now because there is no temple there, but there will be shortly we believe. And it says in 2nd Cusylenians chapter 2 verse 4, let me read it for you. It says here, this man of sin, the son of the tradition, who opposes an exalt of himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped so that he as God siteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God.

So we know the third temple when this rebuilt will be temporarily used of the Jews, but the Antichrist then will come and present himself to the world in that temple. It says here in my Bible and in your second best learning is 2-4 so that he as God said in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. Now he is the counterfeit Christ and obviously Jesus will sit in that temple and he will rule the earth from there and so the Antichrist will try to counterfeit that and he will enter the temple there in Jerusalem.

So it’s significant, it’s going to happen, it’s a matter of time and it’s a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. It’s a proof that the Bible is the Word of God. You know God said in Isaiah that I’m going to tell you things before they come to pass so that when they come to pass you’ll know that I am the author of this book. And while there’s so many things that the Bible said would happen and we can see some just right.

He said, Looney ahead of us in the headlines, they are about to take place and tells us we’ve got to be close to when Jesus Christ is coming back. Two questions, are you saved? Are you sure of going to heaven? If you’re not, you need to trust Jesus as your Savior. There’s only one way to be saved. And that is to trust that Jesus Christ completely and fully paid your sin debt at the cross by His death and shed blood when He came the first time.

And when you trust Christ as your only hope of heaven, God saves you. Then of course the second question is, have you ever decided to serve Him and every believer ought to? But if you never served Him a minute, you’d still be saved. He would lose out on the joy, the rewards, the blessing that comes by living for God. And when you serve Lord, God will bless you and reward you for all eternity. And I remember as a brand new believer hearing that for the first time and I said, Whoa, I better get on the ball here.

I’m not doing a thing in the way of earning rewards in heaven. And so I became a disciple of Christ and said, I am going to not waste my time anymore. I am going to be serving the Lord. And it is a choice that we make at second to getting saved when we trust Christ as the Savior who died and paid for our sin. I am Dr. Engvenstrum. This is Bibleline. Again, tonight we have Gershah on Solomon at 7 o’clock here at Galvary Community Church in Tampa.

He’s the man that has been cutting the stones from the third temple and I think you’ll find it very interesting to hear what he has to say. And we’re going to go to the phone lines, 1-800-576-3771 and we have Angel in St. Petersburg and Angel, welcome to Bibleline your own ear. Excuse me. Hank, my question is in Webman’s Shop to Bible Report, Ken. It says, never-to-death, wane from Adam to Moses, even over done, that had not sinned after the similar to Adam’s transgression.

It was the figured and that was to come. Now, it seems to me that it was saying that there was sinned that dense sin. And I don’t know if it says here that they hadn’t sinned in the exact way that Adam sinned. And that’s the difference here. It says here, even over them that had not sinned after the similar to the Adam’s transgression, In other words, they didn’t take the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of the new evil, which is impossible for us to do any more.

That tree is not accessible to any of us. God cast them out of the garden and put a chair of them with a flaming sword to keep anybody from going back into the garden. And so that’s impossible, but we still sin. So that’s all it’s saying. You can’t commit the same sin they’re adamant in. Okay, a believer, which I mean I think I know the answer to it, but a believer can’t be demon-disessed, right? No, not at all because God the Holy Spirit comes to indwell our body, and no demon was to dwell on the same body with the Holy Spirit.

1 John 4-4 is one of my favorites on that. It says, greater is He that is in you. That’s the Holy Spirit than He that’s Satan in demons that are in the world. So he’s greater. Well, okay, now when Jesus said to Peter, get me behind me, say, and he explained that to me to some interpret that, like if Peter was even possessed, and he would say that that’s fine. Yeah, he was not possessed, but Satan was definitely there, and he can influence even you and me as Christians, even though we’re involved with the Holy Spirit.

And so he can influence us, but he cannot possess us. Okay, well good. Angel, thank you for calling in. Alright. Yeah, the devil’s out there. He’s our adversary and he’s definitely trying to lure us into temptation and to get us to just forsake the Lord and not serve him and not live for him and discourage us with all the powers that he has. And we need to be alert how Satan works. In 2 Corinthians 11, it says, I fear, thus by any means, as the servant begal to Eve through his subtlety, so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

We have to keep going back to the Bible to see whether Satan is… The most important thing to do is to make sure that the Bible is not difficult. The things that are being done, the practices are not difficult, and yet many think that they are, because so many people do them, but you have to go back to the Bible to see whether you have been seduced or not by Satan himself. We are now going to go to Levita and she is in Lake Worth, Florida and she is in Lake Worth, Florida and Levita.

Welcome to Bibleline you are on the air. Good morning, Dr. Hank. Good morning. Recently I was asked by a Jewish friend of public questions for which I needed a little help in answering. Go ahead. Number one, why does Jesus never mention either Luke or Mark, that yet wrote to the gospel? In why he did not mention them by name? Right. I have to think about that as far as a quote, but certainly you find them listing each other in the gospels.

I’ll have to look for a direct quote, but it’s interesting. Of course, the apostles definitely were named by him and are and spoken of by him. I have to take a look at that. That’s a good question. Okay, and the second question in Matthew 1, 11 and 12, it states that Jeccanias, and then pardon me if I pronounced that incorrectly, was in the bloodline of Jesus. That’s correct. However, in the book of Jeremiah 22, 28 through 30, God states that Jeccanias was cursed and that he would never have a descendant who would sit on the throne of David.

That’s correct. He’s made to believe that God said he would never have a descendant who would be a king of Israel. Can you please explain that? Well, the answer is that the curse of Konaiah really prevented Joseph from being the father of Jesus. You’ll notice he becomes the stepfather and had he actually been the biological father, Jesus Christ could not have been an assignment. If you’ll notice carefully that genealogy goes on down and tells us that so and so and so and so and so and so and so and so and finally you get to Joseph and it doesn’t say Joseph be yet Jesus.

It says Joseph the husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus. Now Mary also was related back to King David and if you read the genealogy in Luke 3 where we have Mary’s genealogy she is traced right back to King David and back to Abraham just like Joseph was. And so as far as the flesh is concerned, Jesus was related back to David through Mary’s side of the lineage. But the airship to the throne could be passed on to Jesus because the curse of Jekoniah was circumvented by the fact that Joseph is not really the father of Jesus.

I would appreciate it when you figure that out about Jesus not mentioning with the mark if you do that on the air. Okay. We’ll make a note of that and we’ll try to do that for you. Thank you, Levita, for listening. Thank you very much, Dr. Hank. Okay. Levita, down in Lake Worth, Florida, we now have Jim in Greenup, Kentucky, and Jim, Jim, welcome to Bibleline. You are on the earth. Okay, listen, would you explain what a sin and a gift the Holy Ghost is?

Because that’s the only sin the Bible it mentions that there’s no forgiveness. And then I got another question after that. Well, this is… Well the sin against the Holy Spirit described for example in Mark 3 is to reject Christ. The religious leaders said that Christ was imposter, fraud, and counterfeit. And so what happened was they said that the miracles that he did were done by Satan and not by the Holy Spirit, which is the sin that they committed, which was really a rejection of Christ.

They said, yes, he heals, but he does it by Satan’s power. If you notice Mark 330, it says they were in danger of eternal damnation because they said he Christ hath an unclean spirit. That’s rejection of Christ. It’s the same sin as that of unbelief or rejection of Christ, and that will take you to hell. But I believe we cannot commit that sin. Believers have already received Christ for who he is. He is the Savior. But an unbeliever, obviously, is guilty of rejecting Christ until he changes his mind hopefully before he dies.

But if he doesn’t, then he will go to hell and never be forgiven because he’s rejecting the one who is the provision for our sin. And if you reject Christ, there’s no other provision, and you will wind up in hell paying for your sin. A great murder for 30 years. It says because they said Christ had an unclean spirit. It’s rejection of Christ. Okay, my second question. I’m a teacher on the radio and he said he believed the book of Corinthians was misinterpreted in English language because it says for a woman to be solid church but you go to Titus, he speaks of it.

He speaks of it in Timothy and James. Would you kind of explain that? Well, the preacher’s wrong. He’s trying to obviously wiggle out of where we are today. Certainly women are not to preach and they’re not to be these leaders in the church, deacons and elders and pastors. And so he’s trying to, I guess, just to get rid of the Bible passages that would teach that. So he’s obviously wrong. We’re coming up on our break. I’m going to have to go if you want to hold on to him you can.

But we’re coming up on a second half hour of Bibleline and we hope that you’ll stay tuned and join us for that second half hour. Again, Bibleline is listeners supported. We need your help. If you could help us, it would be wonderful if you would call, maybe give a gift by credit card over the phone or call us for an upload to be sent in mail a gift in but we cannot be on the air unless our listeners help us pay those bills and that’s the way it works and we don’t pay any salary so we get the most for our dollar out of Bible and that’s for sure.

Going to take a break I’m not for any things from I’m going to be right back we’ll take the break and we’ll do a second half hour so stay tuned I’ll be right back after this short break. Bibleline will be back in a moment. Give us a call at 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Well, I’m Dr. Englunds from it’s great to be with you. Thanks again for tuning in to the broadcast. I wish every one of you were within driving distance to come tonight to listen to Gershan Solomon from Jerusalem about the rebuilding of the Third Temple.

We’re going to be videotaping that tonight and and we’ll also be taping the audio. And so it will be available on DVD and on CD. So if you’d like to get a copy and be able to listen to tonight’s presentation, that will be very possible. Just call and order that. Talk to our operators. But if you’re in driving business, we want you to, of course, be here. Also, we want you to know that our Resource Center is right there available to you on the internet if you go to BibleLineMinistries.org.

BibleLineMinistries.org and if you click on the online bookstore you’ll have our resource center. You’ll be able to look at everything that we’ve got and be able to shop right online. We have so many really good books. We have some that just lay it out for you. One of my favorites is Dispensational Truth. It has 160 charts drawn by Clarence Larkin about a hundred years ago. That’s right. And he was an architect who got saved and then became a minister.

And he had such insight. These charts are just as though they were drawn yesterday as they showed Israel going back to the land, becoming a nation again. of that happening many years after Mr. Larkin drew the charts, but because he believed the Bible, he believed that these things were going to happen literally like they have. What a proof that is that we need to believe the Bible because obviously he wasn’t influenced by something that had happened in the world.

It hadn’t happened yet. The Bible predicted it and he believed it and that’s wonderful. That’s Clintus Larkin. We also have his book on Revelation. His book on Daniel. His book on Rightly Divided in Word of Truth, and his book on the Spirit World, we have all of those books by Clarence Larkin. They’re all excellent, each of them with charts. We also want you to know that you can always pray for Bibleline, and we would appreciate that. You, Prayers, I believe, are very, very important, and also your gifts to Bibleline, because we are a miracle ministry really because we don’t have any money and yet the Lord supplies every week through people just like you who care and want to see this program continue.

Would you call maybe and give a gift by credit card over the phone today? That would be so appreciated. We will join the stations now that have been on break into the second half hour of Bible hundred five seven six thirty seven seventy one now here again is dr hanklin strum all right we’re back from that break in this is uh… by the line and i’m not going to instrument work coming to you live from campbell florida from our studios here at the calvary community church where on the pastor thanks for tuning in and we appreciate you and all of our listeners and we would love to get to meet all of you and if we ever could that would be wonderful i know it’ll happen at the Rapture, but if you get a chance to come by beforehand, we’d love to have you do that.

By the way, tonight, tonight, this is 9-11. It’s September 11th today when the plane flew into the Twin Towers, and that terrible tragedy happened here in America. Well, today we have Gershawn Solomon here tonight and our services to talk about the rebuilding of the Third Temple. This fellow was there as a young Israeli soldier in 1967 in the Six Day War and he stood there with Moshelda Ann, the one-eyed soldier general of Israel that had to patch over his eye as they conquered Old Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.

And there you can see in a photograph young Gershan and from that moment on he said he believe that God wanted him to start the preparations for building the third temple. And you know, all the things are done, not just Gershan, there’s about five organizations in Israel, each one are doing separate things. One is preparing just the priestly robes. Another is actually just dealing with the practices of the priest, and there’s a mock temple where they’re training priests exactly how to do the sacrificial worship.

There’s also another one that’s vitally interested in the implements of worship, another that’s doing the temple furniture. And they’re all complete as far as I can see. I saw the menorah just a couple of months ago in Israel. It’s made of 92 pounds of gold and brought into one single seven branch candlestick the menorah that goes inside the temple. Wow, that’s got to be millions and millions of dollars worth of gold. We saw it just a few feet of it.

We stood there and saw it stands about five feet high. We are so excited about what’s going on here because it tells us the return of Christ is right around the corner. Why not come tonight? And if you’re in driving distance bring against or to or fill up your car and we’ll meet at seven o’clock tonight and if you get here a little bit late, that’s fine because You know, you’ll get to get part of it, if not all of it.

So we want you to come even though you might not be able to get here right at seven. Give it your best shot and we’ll have the door open for you. I think you’ll have a super time. I’m looking forward to it. Your son Solomon from Israel and Orthodox Jew. Your son was born in Jerusalem. His father was born in Jerusalem. His grandfather was born in Jerusalem. His great grandfather was born in Jerusalem. He’s a tenth generation Jerusalemite. So I guess you could say he’s a legitimate Jew as his ancestors, ten generations back, have been born in Jerusalem and that’s where he lives.

So you’ll, I think, be thrilled with me as we hear him speak tonight and talk about the rebuilding of the Third Temple. We are going to be videotaping that and we’ll have it available on CD and DVD for those that cannot make these meetings. So you can call and order that if you call our operators. We have next call that looks like Harold is calling and I had just a couple of people this weekend say, whatever happened to Harold in Hollywood, Florida?

Well let’s see because Harold is here. Harold welcome to the Bible and program people are asking about you who am I speaking with? this is like your famous I think people just like you I don’t know you’ve got a wonderful audience out there that just says where’s Harold I haven’t heard from me in the week see I work for don’t leave home without it okay now I’m off today and I can think of nobody more interesting than my pastor.

Thank you. Should I hold on? No, you’re on there. Go ahead. Oh, you’re speaking to Dr. Hank? You got me right now. This is… Oh, I say shalom from a Jewish atheist, Harold. Okay, shalom to you. I would like to quote you something from a Jewish professor, and I just want to read this real fast, and now hang on. Ready? Ready. To Jews. God is not a person, and therefore has no gender. First of all, he isn’t a hee-bru has only masculine and feminine genders.

There is no way to say it in Hebrew. So the masculine gender is chosen but not because God is a man, God is not a person of any gender in Judaism and that’s the difference between Christianity and Judaism. How about How about that? That’s wonderful. Obviously, so they’re saying he’s not a person at all? That’s right. Well, you know, obviously I would totally disagree because obviously the Bible expresses a God who has personality. He loves, he hates, he has all kinds of emotion and he’s volitional and makes decisions and he’s the one who decided to create this universe and create us and put us on this planet.

He’s obviously planned out the future as well as he lays it out in the Old Testament and says I’m gonna I’m the only one that can tell the future from the beginning and So I think that whoever that is is not reading carefully the Bible. Well, that’s why I’m calling Good morning. You say that the professor is wrong. He’s the…

He’s been reading comic books or something Okay, a fast question. I’m talking to Dr. Hank and I often hear you say Jesus is coming, right? That’s right. Okay, I’m sitting here talking to you. Tell me, how will I know that? I’m here at home calling you on a regular phone. How will I know that? Well, as you read through the Old Testament, it foretells that he is going to come. And in fact, if you read through the major namayana prophets, there are many referencesporary references that talk about that.

For example, let me go to the little book of, let’s see here, we’ll go to Zachariah chapter 2, this is the 14th chapter prophet, Zachariah, and he says here in Zachariah 2 that Israel was discouraged at the time he wrote. They just came out of the Babylonian captivity. They had been in exile in Iraq. They came back to Jerusalem and it wasn’t much there. The temple had been destroyed. The city had been destroyed. They were very discouraged people. We find here that Zechariah tells them that God told him to tell them that he is going to favor Jerusalem and that he is going to actually come and rule over Israel from Jerusalem.

That’s never happened yet, but that still is the come. And it says here, for example in verse 10, sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for lo I come. That’s the coming of Christ when he comes back to rule and reign on this earth. He says that I will dwell in the midst of the saith the Lord.” Just earlier than that, he says, and this is a neat verse. It says in verse 8, for the saith the Lord of Hosts, by the way, that’s a reference to God the Father, after the glory hath he sent me, that’s Jesus, the second eternal member unto the nations which spoiled you, for he that touches you, that’s the Jewish people, touches the apple of his eye.

So Christ is going to come back and judge the nations and defeat them and set up his kingdom and he says, I come and I will dwell on your midst. So there’s so many passages just like this throughout the Old Testament, it’s quite clear that he’s coming. But, Dr., I’m speaking to you now and I don’t want to read any of the verses and you’re the best at what you do. But I want to know where or how I would recognize that he’s here if I’m not reading any scripture.

I mean, is he going to be on television or a big light in the sky? How will I know that? Okay. That’s a great question. That’ll happen, Will. He’ll come back. The skies will be filled with his glory and it says he will fight against the nations which come against Jerusalem. We can see what’s happening in the Middle East right now with the oil and the nations just all focused on the oil and on the Middle East. The world is going to come to war there and Israel is obviously going to be at the center of all that.

Christ will come back and fight against those nations for Israel. Okay, not gonna ask you Micah six dash eight. Okay. Did you read that? I will go find it right now mica six eight. Hold on here All right, hold on. We’ll see you here in just a second Micah chapter six verse eight says He has showed the old man what is good and what does the word require of thee? but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.

Now wouldn’t that be a way I could recognize that? Well obviously this is instructions for the one who believes on the Lord as his Savior, but clearly we are saved by trusting in the, what happened at the first coming of the Messiah when he gave his life to pay for our sin and we find the Bible teaches that our righteousness is really in the Lord or in trusting him, that God imputes or credits the believer with righteousness and then as a believer we ought to live righteously if we want to have God’s approval and have him reward our faithfulness to him after we’re saying.

But we’re going to recognize him because he will come back and according to Zachariah, he’ll have the same nail prints in his hands and in his feet that he had when he left the first time. He was crucified and it says in Zachariah when they looked for him in chapter 12 and verse 10 it says that they will recognize him by these marks in his hands and in his feet. Isn’t there some quote? I maybe I tape your shows a lot something about Coming back on a horse or something like that less true revelation chapter 19 He comes back on a white horse and so yes, he comes out of the heavens So we’re not gonna seem come on television and we’re not gonna seem come in an airplane We’re not gonna seem you know, you know, this embark from a boat or a ship

But he’s gonna actually come back from the heavens and he will come back on a white horse Well, I appreciate my Bible lesson and you can rely on me to send you an envelope and I hope everybody out did it. Listening to this Jewish atheist does the same. Well, thank you Harold. That’s great. Okay. We could use that help. God bless you. Thank you, sir. All right. That was Harold and South Florida and Hollywood Florida and our Jewish atheist.

praying that he would realize that Jesus has already been here and is coming again. And when you trust Christ as your Savior, that you receive the wonderful gift of everlasting life. I’d love to have Harold appear tonight for our Gershon Solomon meeting. I think that would be very interesting. We now have Reginald in these in Tampa, Florida and Reginald, welcome to Bibleline New Year on the earth. Good morning, Dr. Hay. I got a question for you. Well, it’s not a question.

It’s more of a statement and a question. But, you know, all these politicals have been calling in, you know, asking you questions about being in all that. I don’t think these people really realize that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. I mean, God’s going to come and everything’s going to be fulfilled the way it is. I mean, in order for us to move out of Iraq, my leaders are going to move us out of there. That’s what I want to call an agal, mega, or a conversion that have you come down to take us to foil.

And then that’s what I really want to get to because of the guys’ situation. Okay, that’s Ezekiel chapter 38 and we have there an incredible description of Russia coming down into the Middle East in the last days to take a spoil and obviously the spoil in the Middle East is the oil and you can see Russia already into Georgia because of the oil pipeline and wanting to control Europe or blackmail Europe with the transmission natural gas and other products from the oil layer and China is involved and everybody is involved in meeting oil today.

And so it’s what’s going to draw the nations in and the Bible describes exactly what will happen. That really will trigger off a world war and Christ will come back and he’ll shake the earth. who who who was part of that if that uh… israelis that uh… england No, I don’t really see the one. A lot of people believe that is talking about Turkey. Uh-huh. But we’ll have to wait and find out. I’m not sure. Let’s think about Tarsus and her young lions.

I’m thinking about Britain because great Britain, the sum of the lion and her young lions. You got Canada, America, New Zealand, all those guys, okay? And from what, and the power that’s going to be needed to know how to kick out of the area again, it seems like it’s going to come from us instead of out of Europe. to get that tonight you might have something there and this thing about uh… people think that obama’s the promise one of all this and they keep missing the point that satan has his rulers and all principalities i mean both of these leaders that were voting for a complete absolutely you’re right and it’s amusing what you know all this happened and seen it for i mean dot comia no it’s really waterproof all this this is almost like being a part of the slide by channel you know that

and we’re all distracted because the big picture if you have a bible in hand you know that god is going to be the winner ultimately he’s in control yeah total control everything’s happening right now is is really just marching according to the structure always happening at a quick taste now too absolutely i mean it’s it’s it’s incredible you know it’s only thing to keep me worrying about the things of the world a man a but i have a great data about a regional in Tampa florida we now have george in palm beach florida and uh…

george welcome to buy blind you’re welcome to the program hello a george and i don’t get i got two questions for you uh… but what you can come to the political revelation one thing i love them uh… you believe that that’s also an Elijah. Exactly. Another question is that we both know that Elijah and Moses never died, one took a woman from one’s. Well, they would miss a dead die. Right, he died there in the mouth. Right. But my question comes from Ephraim also that they will be also overtaken again by the dragon.

The Antichrist will kill them in Jerusalem exactly. And what is fascinating is that the Bible says that the people of the world which will hate these two prophets which come back and smite the earth with the plagues, turn the water to blood and Elijah prays again and shuts the heavens so it doesn’t rain and so they are really glad they be rid of them. So they want to enjoy the fact that they’re dead and the Bible says that people all over the world will watch their dead bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem.

They will not allow them to be buried. What is interesting is that the technology today allows exactly for that to happen where people all over the world can see the bodies lying in the streets of Jerusalem by way of satellite television. My other question comes from from chapter 14, verse 13 also they said something about when I looked in the world the white cloud and one like the son of man. man was sitting on the cloud with a cold crown on his head and a sharp stick line.

I put first that I would describe what Demi says on verse 19, he showed the angel so he thick also. I know that he described and I didn’t just saw that cannot be him. Well yeah, this is the time of the harvest of the earth at the end of the tribulation period. period. And if you read the Gospels in Matthew in particular, it says he sends out his angels to gather up the unsaved and they’re cast into the winepress of the wrath of Almighty God and Christ will come back and destroy them.

So it involves I think many of God’s angels in doing that Yeah, you’re right Okay, thank you for going Georgian Palm Beach, Florida. We’re not gonna go to Carl in Tampa, Florida Carl welcome to Bibleline you’re on here yesterday was in the classroom and Just to show I think how We’re being bombarded from every every direction stuff that you got was for the Bible But yesterday I was reading the new…

Wow. I was like, this is what the reading, this is what the teaching will know, written by the original, but nevertheless it’s called the New West of Dictionary. Yeah, it’s a con game. I’ll tell you, we’re getting our histories being rewritten and the books that we’ve always trusted in are being replaced and we’re getting everything redefined and it’s a tricky world. We need to keep close to our Bibles, I think. Absolutely. It’s a constant battle in the coastal area redirection from everywhere.

So anyway, just thought I’d mention that. Well, I think we’re sharing that with me. I didn’t know that about the new Webster’s Dictionary. That’s incredible. Well, if you’d like to call us, it’s 1-800-576-3771. Wipe that down and tonight, September 11th, tonight, at 7 o’clock, We have Gershan Salah in here just for the one evening, and he will be sharing about the building of the Third Temple. He is the head of the Temple Mount Faithful, an organization he has headquartered in Jerusalem with cutting the stones for the Third Temple.

Several times here he has attempted to lay the cornerstone on the Temple Mount. He’s always turned away, but he’s raising a great awareness of the need to build that temple again. It’s obviously worked because there’s a lot of awareness in Israel today. Many people are talking about building their temple again, and I think that tells us that we’ve got to be close to the Lord’s return. I’m excited about it, and who knows? It could be this year, but I’m at a date center.

We’re just watching for Christ to return, but we do know He’s coming. In the meantime, we just need to reach as many people as we can, and Bibleized is attempting to do that through our radio broadcasts, through our website, and through all the outreach ministries we have. We’re trusting that God will bless us in reaching a lot of folks for Christ wherever we might be able to preach it. We have Dave and Plant City, and Dave, welcome to Bibleline.

You’re on the air. Good morning, Dr. Hank. I just wanted to tell him that if you read more than Zachariah, he’ll see that Christ’s feet is going to touch on the mountain and there’ll be an earthquake and that’s what he should look for, not nothing else. And the part he said about the white horse, if he reads more in Revelation, he’ll see about his name written on his leg and all and the anti-Christ won’t have none of that. But I just wanted to pass it on.

Thank you. He gave David plant city and that’s for sure. When Jesus comes, there’ll be no mistaking. The Mount of Olives will split in half when his feet touchdown on it. We have Paul in Clearwater. Paul, welcome to Bibleline You’re On The Earth. Yes, Dr. Lister. I just have a real quick question about the Our Father Prayer when it comes to give us a stay or daily bread. He’s talking about the word and that food. Isn’t that correct? I think he’s talking about our daily bread, the food that we eat every day.

Everything we have really comes from God. There’s nothing that you or I ever experienced in this lifetime that really hasn’t come from God himself. And I think we need to acknowledge that. And there’s never quite a number of verses where it talks about giving thanks for our food and even Jesus, that the Lord’s Supper, when he took the bread he gave thanks and then he break it and said, take eat, this is my body which is broken for you.

But also it has that application of the written word that we obviously need to eat that as as our necessary food to sustain our spiritual growth in life. But physical food is what I think is in my life. Okay, all right, because I thought I heard things in the Bible I read where Jesus referred to the bread as the word in some scriptures, but I’ll have to go back and reread it. Thank you very much. Thank you and I appreciate that call.

We now have, let’s see here, we have Gregory in Miami, Florida. And Gregory, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Yes, sir. Dr. Hal, how’s that going? Good. Yes, I’m right here. Yeah. Do you know from Tom Ford to how many years in father leaders in a second Timothy, do you believe those two fellows were saved? Because they commented that they did not do the resurrection of Jesus Christ and they had shipped right to the faith of many. Do you believe they were truly ever won again?

No, I don’t believe they were, I believe they were. Unbelievers who kind of mingled among the believers there and Paul is warning them to stay on track with the Bible. Be careful not to be deceived by men like that. We’re at the end of the hour. I’m Dr. Hank Lindstrom. We’re going to have to run. We’ll be having Gushan Sarman tonight here at 7. I hope you can come if you’re in the area. Also, by the way, I could use your financial support if you would call and give a gift to Bibleline.

that would be one or four. Call and ask for an envelope to be sent with our dress and you can mail that gift in. But keep looking up, Jesus is coming. We believe we’re getting closer and I don’t know when but I know that we ought to keep looking because Christ is coming soon. God bless you. I’m Dr. Agnes and thank you bye for today. We’ll be back tomorrow and I hope you’ll join me then. Until then, God bless.
