reetings, holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ. The sermon subject for today is:

WHEN SHALL JUDGMENT DAY TAKE PLACE? SOME REFER TO JUDGMENT DAY AS THE DAY OF THE LORD, OR THE LAST DAY. WHEN CHRIST RETURNS HE SHALL JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. NO MAN KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR WHEN JESUS SHALL RETURN, BUT FOR US, THE ELECT OF GOD, THE RETURN OF CHRIST SHALL NOT COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. 1THESS:5:1 BUT OF THE TIMES AND SEASONS, BRETHREN , YE HAVE NO NEED THAT I WRITE UNTO YOU. 2. FOR YOURSELVES KNOW PERFECTLY THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD SO COMETH AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. 3. FOR WHEN THEY SHALL SAY, PEACE AND SAFETY; THEN SUDDEN DESTRUCTION COMETH UPON THEM, AS TRAVAIL UPON A WOMAN WITH CHILD; AND THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE. 4. BUT YE, BRETHREN, ARE NOT IN DARKNESS, THAT THAT DAY SHOULD OVERTAKE YOU AS A THIEF. THE ANTICHRIST SHALL REIGN FORTY TWO MONTHS, JESUS CHRIST SHALL PUT AN END TO THE REIGN OF THE ANTICHRIST WHEN HE RETURNS BY KILLING THE ANTICHRIST. RV13:4 AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON WHICH GAVE POWER UNTO THE BEAST; AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE BEAST: SAYING, WHO IS LIKE UNTO THE BEAST? WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM? 5. AND THERE WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM A MOUTH SPEAKING GREAT THINGS AND BLASPHEMIES, AND POWER WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM TO CONTINUE FORTY AND TWO MONTHS. CHRIST SHALL KILL THE ANTICHRIST WHEN HE RETURNS WITH THE SPIRIT FROM HIS MOUTH, AND WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. THEREFORE IF YOU WILL MARK THE DAY THE ANTICHRIST BEGINS TO REIGN AND COUNT FORTY TWO MONTHS FROM THAT DATE; YOU SHOULD BE VERY CLOSE TO THE TIME CHRIST JESUS RETURNS FOR HIS BRIDE THE CHURCH. 2THES:2:7 FOR THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY DOTH ALREADY WORK: ONLY HE WHO NOW LETTETH WILL LET, UNTIL HE BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY. 8. AND THEN SHALL THAT WICKED BE REVEALED, WHOM THE LORD SHALL CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH, AND SHALL DESTROY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING: 9. EVEN HIM, WHOSE COMING IS AFTER THE WORKING OF SATAN WITH ALL POWER AND SIGNS AND LYING WONDERS. THE FIRST TO BE GATHERED, CONDEMNED, AND DESTROYED ARE THE TARES, THE CHILDREN OF SATAN. MT:13:29 BUT HE SAID, NAY; LEST WHILE YE GATHER UP THE TARES, YE ROOT UP ALSO THE WHEAT WITH THEM. 30. LET BOTH GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST: AND IN THE TIME OF HARVEST I WILL SAY TO THE REAPERS, GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TARES, AND BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM: BUT GATHER THE WHEAT INTO MY BARN. AFTER THE DEATH OF THE ANTICHRIST, AFTER THE GATHERING OF THE TARES, WE, THE ELECT OF GOD SHALL RISE TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR. 1THES:4:14 FOR IF WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN, EVEN SO THEM ALSO WHICH SLEEP IN JESUS WILL GOD BRING WITH HIM. 15. FOR THIS WE SAY UNTO YOU BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, THAT WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD SHALL NOT PREVENT THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP. 16. FOR THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: 17. 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. 18. WHEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS. THE LORD JESUS SHALL LEAD US TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, AND WHEN HIS FEET TOUCH DOWN ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN, SAINTS, SHALL BE WITH HIM. ZEC:14:4 AND HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, WHICH IS BEFORE JERUSALEM ON THE EAST, AND THE MOUNT OF OLIVES SHALL CLEAVE IN THE MIDST THEREOF TOWARD THE EAST AND TOWARD THE WEST, AND THERE SHALL BE A VERY GREAT VALLEY; AND HALF OF THE MOUNTAIN SHALL REMOVE TOWARD THE NORTH, AND HALF OF IT TOWARD THE SOUTH. 5. AND YE SHALL FLEE TO THE VALLEY OF MOUNTAINS; FOR THE VALLEY OF THE MOUNTAINS SHALL REACH UNTO AZAL: YEA, YE SHALL FLEE, LIKE AS YE FLED FROM BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE IN THE DAYS OF UZZIAH KING OF JUDAH: AND THE LORD MY GOD SHALL COME AND ALL THE SAINTS WITH THEE. WHERE SHALL JUDGMENT DAY TAKE PLACE? JUDGMENT DAY SHALL TAKE PLACE IN THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT. THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, AND JERUSALEM. JL:3:12 LET THE HEATHEN BE WAKENED, AND COME UP TO THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT: FOR THERE WILL I SIT TO JUDGE ALL THE HEATHEN ROUND ABOUT. 13. PUT YE IN THE SICKLE, FOR THE HARVEST IS RIPE: COME, GET YOU DOWN; FOR THE PRESS IS FULL, THE FATS OVERFLOW; FOR THEIR WICKEDNESS IS GREAT. 14. MULTITUDES, MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION: FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION. THE BLOOD SHALL BE PRESSED OUT OF THE WICKED. IF YOU COUNT THE FURLONG AS AN EIGHTH OF A MILE, BLOOD SHALL RISE IN THAT VALLEY TWO HUNDRED MILES UP TO A HORSE’S BRIDLE. RV:14:20 AND THE WINEPRESS WAS TRODDEN WITHOUT THE CITY, AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF THE WINEPRESS, EVEN UNTO THE HORSE BRIDLES, BY THE SPACE OF A THOUSAND AND SIX HUNDRED FURLONGS. BY WHAT STANDARD SHALL WE BE JUDGED? JESUS CHRIST SHALL JUDGE US BY THE GOSPEL OF THE APOSTLE PAUL. ROM:2:16 IN THE DAY WHEN GOD SHALL JUDGE THE SECRETS OF MEN BY JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL. WHEN ADAM TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD SIN CAME INTO THE WORLD, AND POLLUTED, CONTAMINATED, AND MADE UNCLEAN GOD’S CREATION. THE SPIRIT OF GOD DEPARTED FROM ADAM, AND ADAM DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH, THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL OF ADAM DIED , ALSO ALL MANKIND DIED THE SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL OF MAN DIED. FOR ALL MANKIND WAS IN ADAM, AT THE TIME HE TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, AND BECAUSE OF OUR PHYSICAL UNION WITH ADAM SIN WAS IMPUTED TO THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE. 1COR:15:22 FOR AS IN ADAM ALL DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. TO THE GOOD, THOSE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, GOD IS VERY GOOD. BUT TO THE WICKED, THOSE THAT TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, GOD IS VERY SEVER. ROM:11:22 BEHOLD THEREFORE THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD: ON THEM WHICH FELL, SEVERITY; BUT TOWARD THEE, GOODNESS, IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALT BE CUT OFF. GOD HAD GIVEN ADAM A COMMANDMENT THAT HE COULD EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN, BUT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL HE COULD NOT EAT FOR IN THE DAY THAT HE EAT OF THAT TREE HE WOULD SURELY DIE. GN:2:16 AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT: 17. BUT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE. GOD HAD GIVEN THIS COMMANDMENT TO ADAM TO SAVE HIS LIFE, BUT IT BROUGHT DEATH. ROM:7:10 AND THE COMMANDMENT, WHICH WAS ORDAINED TO LIFE, I FOUND TO BE UNTO DEATH. THE SERPENT DECEIVED EVE, BUT ADAM KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE, IT IS BECAUSE EVE WAS DECEIVED THAT WOMEN ARE FORBIDDEN, BY COMMANDMENT, TO TEACH MEN. 1TM:2:11 LET THE WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBJECTION. `12. BUT I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN, BUT TO BE IN SILENCE. 13. FOR ADAM WAS FIRST FORMED, THEN EVE. 14. AND ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, BUT THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED WAS IN THE TRANSGRESSION. 15. NOTWITHSTANDING SHE SHALL BE SAVED IN CHILDBEARING, IF THEY CONTINUE IN FAITH AND CHARITY AND HOLINESS WITH SOBRIETY. JUDGMENT DAY CAME FOR ADAM AFTER HIS TRANSGRESSION. TO KNOW SOMETHING IS A SIN, AND TO TRANSGRESS THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD PRESUMPTUOUSLY, IMPERTIENTLY BOLD, IS VERY SERIOUS. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, IF A PERSON SINNED IN IGNORANCE HE COULD BRING A SHE GOAT TO THE PRIEST, AND THE PRIEST WOULD OFFER THE GOAT UP AS A SACRIFICE, AND THE SIN WOULD BE FORGIVEN. BUT IF A MAN KNEW SOMETHING TO BE A SIN, AND TRANSGRESSED THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD PRESUMPTUOUSLY THERE WAS NO SACRIFICE COULD BE OFFERED UP FOR THAT SIN, THE SIN WOULD REMAIN. NM:15:27 AND IF ANY SOUL SIN THROUGH IGNORANCE, THEN HE SHALL BRING A SHE GOAT OF THE FIRST YEAR FOR A SIN OFFERING. 28. AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL THAT SINNETH IGNORANTLY, WHEN HE SINNETH BY IGNORANCE BEFORE THE LORD, TO MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM; AND IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM. 30. BUT THE SOUL THAT DOETH OUGHT PRESUMPTUOUSLY, WHETHER HE BE BORN IN THE LAND, OR A STRANGER, THE SAME REPROACHETH THE LORD; AND THAT SOUL SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM AMONG HIS PEOPLE. 31. BECAUSE HE HATH DESPISED THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND HATH BROKEN HIS COMMANDMENT, THAT SOUL SHALL UTTERLY BE CUT OFF; HIS INIQUITY SHALL BE UPON HIM. A SIMILAR LAW IS RECORDED IN THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, CONCERNING THE WILLFUL SIN. IF AFTER A MAN HAS RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, AFTER HE HAS COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, HE KNOWS ABOUT REPENTANCE FROM DEAD WORKS, AND FAITH TOWARD GOD. HE KNOWS ABOUT BAPTISM, AND THE AND LAYING ON OF HANDS, AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, AND THE ETERNAL JUDGMENT. IF HE SINS WILFULLY THERE IS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. THE SIN WILL REMAIN. HEB:10:26 FOR IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN, 27. BUT A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING FOR OF JUDGMENT AND FIERY INDIGNATION, WHICH SHALL DEVOUR THE ADVERSARIES. WE, THE ELECT OF GOD, AFTER WE RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST AND COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH MUST BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT WE SAY, FOR BY OUR WORDS WE SHALL BE SAVED, AND BY OUR WORDS WE SHALL BE CONDEMNED. MT:12:36 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. 37. FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO, RV:20:11 AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM. 12. AND I SAW THE DEAD, SMALL AND GREAT, STAND BEFORE GOD; AND THE BOOKS WERE OPENED: AND ANOTHER BOOK WAS OPENED, WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE: AND THE DEAD WERE JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. FILL YOUR LIFE WITH GOOD WORKS, FOR FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. IF A BROTHER OR SISTER IS DESTITUTE OF FOOD, AND CLOTHES; FEED THEM, AND CLOTH THEM. MT:25:34 THEN SHALL THE KING SAY UNTO THEM ON HIS RIGHT HAND, COME YE BLESSED OF MY FATHER, INHERIT THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD: 35. FOR I WAS AN HUNGRED, AND YE GAVE ME MEAT: I WAS THIRSTY, AND YE GAVE ME DRINK: I WAS A STRANGER, AND YE TOOK ME IN: 36. NAKED, AND YE CLOTHED ME: I WAS SICK, AND YE VISITED ME: I WAS IN PRISON, AND YE CAME UNTO ME. MT:25:40. AND THE KING SHALL ANSWER AND SAY UNTO THEM, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU INASMUCH AS YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE MY BRETHREN, YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ME. THE JUDGMENT OF ADAM AND EVE, WILL GIVE YOU SOME IDEA AS HOW THE LORD JESUS SHALL JUDGE ON JUDGMENT DAY. IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE ADAM AND EVE ARE ON TRIAL TO SEE WHERE THEY WILL SPEND ETERNITY. WHEN WE STAND BEFORE GOD ON JUDGMENT DAY WAITING FOR THE DECISION OF JESUS WILL BE THE MOST FEARFUL TIME OF OUR LIVES. GN:3:9 AND THE LORD GOD CALLED UNTO ADAM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHERE ART THOU? 10. AND HE SAID, I HEARD THY VOICE IN THE GARDEN, AND I WAS AFRAID, BECAUSE I WAS NAKED; AND I HID MYSELF. 11. AND HE SAID, WHO TOLD THEE THAT THOU WAST NAKED? HAST THOU EATEN OF THE TREE WHEREOF I COMMANDED THEE THAT THOU SHOULDEST NOT EAT? 12. AND THE MAN SAID, THE WOMAN WHOM THOU GAVEST TO BE WITH ME, SHE GAVE ME OF THE TREE, AND I DID EAT. ADAM’S DEFENSE WAS NOT VALID. GN:3:13 AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, WHAT IS THIS THAT THOU HAST DONE? AND THE WOMAN SAID, THE SERPENT BEGUILED ME, AND I DID EAT. EVE’S DEFENSE WAS NOT VALID. GN:3:14 AND THE LORD GOD SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, BECAUSE THOU HAST DONE THIS, THOU ART CURSED ABOVE ALL CATTLE, AND ABOVE EVERY BEAST OF THE FIELD; UPON THY BELLY SHALT THOU GO, AND DUST SHALT THOU EAT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE: 15. AND I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED; IT SHALL BRUISE THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL. 16. UNTO THE WOMAN HE SAID, I WILL GREATLY MULTIPLY THY SORROW AND THY CONCEPTION; IN SORROW THOU SHALT BRING FORTH CHILDREN; AND THY DESIRE SHALL BE TO THY HUSBAND, AND HE SHALL RULE OVER THEE. 17. AND UNTO ADAM HE SAID, BECAUSE THOU HAST HEARKENED UNTO THE VOICE OF THY WIFE, AND HAST EATEN OF THE TREE, OF WHICH I COMMANDED THEE, SAYING, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: CURSED IS THE GROUND FOR THY SAKE; IN SORROW SHALT THOU EAT OF IT ALL THE DAYS OF THY LIFE; FIRST COMES TEMPTATION, IF A PERSON YIELDS TO TEMPTATION THEN COMES THE CURSE, AND THEN COMES DESTRUCTION. WAS ADAM A SON OF GOD? YES, HE WAS LK:3:38 WHICH WAS THE SON OF ENOS, WHICH WAS THE SON OF SETH, WHICH WAS THE SON OF ADAM, WHICH WAS THE SON OF GOD. GOD DROVE ADAM AND EVE FROM THE TREE OF LIFE, AND PLACED CHERUBIMS, AND A FLAMING SWORD BETWEEN ADAM AND THE TREE OF LIFE SO ADAM COULD NOT EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE. GN:3:22 AND THE LORD GOD SAID, BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US, TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL: AND NOW, LEST HE PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND TAKE ALSO OF THE TREE OF LIFE, AND EAT, AND LIVE FOR EVER: 23. THEREFORE THE LORD GOD SENT HIM FORTH FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN, TO TILL THE GROUND FROM WHENCE HE WAS TAKEN. 24. SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; AND HE PLACED AT THE EAST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIMS, AND A FLAMING SWORD WHICH TURNED EVERY WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE.
