ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Real Life with Jack Hibbs.
JACK: Deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons are
infiltrating your kid's theology, mind, and thought
process. You think- listen, you think that doctrines of demons
comes from rogue pulpits? That's the obvious. Satan's too smart
for that. Hasn't Satan always gone for the children first? And
he's doing it again. It's another way how we know we're in
the last days. Kids are safe nowhere The most dangerous,
dangerous place to be for a kid is in America these days.
ANNOUNCER: If the news has you scratching your head with
confusion, you're not alone. Today, hear Jack Hibbs thoughts
on the latest headlines as we await the return of Christ in
the message, How to Know You're Living in the Last Days.
ANNOUNCER: In a time when our culture is increasingly hostile
to the teachings of the Bible and the traditional values they
impart, Christians face the challenge of being labeled
intolerant, defensive, and homophobic. How can we approach
controversial topics with both reason and tact? In "Correct,
Not Politically Correct," Author Frank Turek tackles the
sensitive of same-sex marriage and transgenderism, addressing
common arguments about equal rights, discrimination,
tolerance, and being born a certain way. This powerful and
insightful book firmly yet respectfully defends Biblical
truth about sexual identity, marriage, and gender. Don't bury
your head in the sand, but learn to stand with a Biblical
worldview. You can receive, "Correct, Not Politically
Correct" when you make a gift of any amount to the ministry of
Real Life today. Visit JackHibbs.com or call

JACK: Well listen, how can you tell if we are living in the
last days? You say, well pastor, what's the last days? Well, the
last days, listen, the terminology, the last days or
the end of time or the last of the age is referred from old to
New Testament in the Bible, and God tells us how to recognize
indicators of the last days. Now, I know many people at this
moment might be thinking, I don't want to hear anything
about this, but yet we've seen an incredible shift in the idea
of people and the openness of people wanting to know what
truth is. So in a moment, we're going to dive into Luke chapter
21, which by the way, Luke 21 is Jesus speaking about future
events that are going to be fulfilled, but why would we look
at them? Because we're starting to see this setup for these
events to come to pass. How should that translate into your
life? To be absolutely ready to meet Jesus. And so listen to
this, if you pull up, you are going down a street and the
lights begin to blink and the bell begins to chime at a
railroad crossing. You don't see a train. You don't see a train.
You see red lights. you see the gate coming down, the
bells are ringing, but you could say,
I don't see a train. You would be a
fool to cross the track. There's warnings there that are
saying, you better stop and look around because something's about
to come and all of a sudden that train comes by at 80 miles an
hour, and boy, are you glad that you paid attention. I pray that
you pay attention, because listen, as it were, the Lord's
coming and there's enough indicators going off right now
that it should not catch you by surprise. Everyone should be
tuning in, believer and unbeliever alike. Let's dive
into the Bible. Let's see what happens.
JACK: In Luke 21:20 the Bible says, Jesus said, when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is
near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Notice Judea, watch everybody. Jesus is saying, when you see
Jerusalem surrounded, then let those who are in Judea. Do you
listen? Do you live in Jerusalem? No. Do you live in
Judea? No, you do not. Flee to the mountains. Let those who are
in the midst of her depart and let not those who are in the
country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance. The word
vengeance is another word for indignation or wrath. This is
the wrath of almighty God. This is the second coming stuff. This
is nearing the end of the tribulation period, people. This
is not now, you're not going to experience this, but just listen
to what's being said. That all things which are written may be
fulfilled. Verse 23, but woe to those who are pregnant and to
those who are nursing babies in those days, why you would say,
how come? That's weird. Why? For there will be great distress in
the land and wrath upon this people and unbelieving people
and unbelieving world and they will fall by the edge of the
sword and be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem
will be trampled by gentiles until the times of the Gentiles.
That's an amazing statement. It's a near and far fulfillment.
Number one, Jerusalem was surrounded in 70 A.D. The temple
was destroyed by the fifth Roman Legion, and the Jews did flee to
the uttermost parts of all the world. That did happen, but it's
going to repeat in a much fast paced scale during the
tribulation period. Israel, we're talking about. Verse 25,
and there will be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the
stars and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity. The
word perplexity means no way out of a confrontation. There's just
no way out. We're going to war. We've exhausted every possible
out and it's going to happen. There's nowhere to go. Nations
will be held in perplexity. See, Jack that, but that's in the
future, right? Yeah, it is in the future, but can you see the
stage being set? Lying, deception, cheating,
manipulation, power. When somebody says do this, and it
involves nations, and billions and billions of dollars, and
people's lives, wow. And the sea and the waves roaring, men's
hearts failing them for fear and the expectation of those things
which are coming on the earth for the powers of the heavens
will be shaken. That's what the Bible says. I pray that all of
you in this room, listen, Luke 21:36 says, pray that you'll
escape all of these things mentioned here and stand before
the son of man. You don't have to go through this stuff. Isn't
that amazing? But you need to trust in Jesus. You need to
follow Christ. Arriving now is the fact, and I'll just go
quickly on this, is interpersonal divisions between
one another. See, what do you mean about that? Matthew chapter
10 verse 21 tells us that in the time of the end, brother will
deliver up brother to death and father his child, and children
will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put
to death. You know what? Up until recent times I thought,
man, I know the Bible says it. That's true. That's going to
happen. But man, that's weird, isn't it? But you know what? You
think back to the days of Adolf Hitler and people were turning
one another in. Nazis. And you say, I'm glad we don't live in
that time. Do you realize that if somebody would've said, if
you know somebody that's not vaccinated, you better turn them
in. We were that far away from it. Unhinged, lawlessness and
violence in the world. I don't need to elaborate on that. Jesus
said in Matthew 24:12, again speaking about the future, he
said, in the future because of lawlessness abounding the love
of many will grow cold. In other words, man will not love fellow
man and there's going to be a lot of violence. Next,
systematic assault against the nature of God, one after
another. Most of everything that you and I are dealing with in
our world right now is a systematic attack against the
nature of God. Genesis 1 verse 24, then God said, let the earth
bring forth living creatures according to its kind. Kind.
Hello, kind. Do you know what a kind is? It's a species. Let
things reproduce according to its species. Who said that? God
said that. Do people believe that? Can a man be pregnant?
Well, it depends on who you're- if you go to USC and UCLA, they
can. God said no. God says there's species. That's it. That
was angel Gabriel chiming in. Watch this, cattle and creeping
thing and beast of the earth according to it's kind. Notice,
cattle and creeping things according to their kind. There's
no creeping things and cattle getting together. Cattle,
cattle. Creepy, creepy, okay? And it was so, verse 25, and God
made the beast of the earth according to its kind. Each
beast, its species. So God created man in His own image. In
His image He created them male and female. God said, male,
female. God said male, female. God said. 'Well, I don't believe
that.' God said. 'I don't like that.' God said. 'I can't take
this.' God said. God said it, but if you don't believe in God,
you see then the Bible already anticipated that too, because
the Bible says, when we don't believe in God, every man does
what's right in his own eyes. It's dog eat dog world and what
you have, and if I like it, I'm going to take it from you
because I've got bigger guns or I'm bigger than you are, and
that's just the way it is. Survival of the fittest. Tough.
Norman Geisler said in the mind, when God dies in a person's
mind, man dies. That's a brilliant statement. But if
there is no God, then you can have a hundred genders, because
you can make it up. Male and female, He created them. Then
God bless them and said to them, be fruitful and multiply. I
think you know what that means, fill the earth and subdue it.
Have dominion over the fish and of the sea and the birds of the
air and over every living thing that moves on the earth. In
First Timothy chapter 4 verse 1, the Bible says, now the Spirit
expressly says that in the last days, the latter times, these
days some will depart from the faith. Are you watching that
happen? I am. Giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines
of demons. That's it. Your kids are being taught, deceiving
spirits and doctrines of demons are infiltrating your kid's
theology, mind, and thought process. You think- listen, you
think that doctrines of demons comes from rogue pulpits? That's
the obvious. Satan's too smart for that. Hasn't Satan always
gone for the children first? And he's doing it again. It's
another way how we know we're in the last days, kids are safe
nowhere. The most dangerous, dangerous place to be for a kid
is in America these days. If they survive the womb, the
system will get 'em in the class. Moral depravity. So hang
with me, people. For the wrath of God is revealed. The Greek
word is this: the wrath of God is constantly presently being
revealed. It's like rain falling. It's happening now. It
will only increase from heaven. Against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men who suppress, hold down, sequester
the truth in unrighteousness. That means they'll do anything
to hide the truth, because what may be known of God is manifest
in them. There's an internal witness that God is real, but
they hold that down for God has shown it to them. For since the
creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly
seen being understood by the things that are made even as
eternal power in Godhead so that they're without excuse. If
anybody tells you they're an atheist, they're insulting
themselves and you, because down deep inside they know better.
Because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God,
nor were they thankful, but became futile in their thoughts.
Futile, deranged in their thinking. Do we live in an age
of deranged thinking? And their foolish hearts were darkened.
People are in position of power, people are in authority, and
people are teaching our kids in places of power and their hearts
have been darkened and they've become foolish because of their
futile way of thinking, professing to be wise. Isn't
that what they say constantly? You need to listen to me, I'm
the expert. We all learn that experts, that term now means
nothing anymore. If somebody says, I'm an expert, just go
away. Seriously, I don't want to hear about it. I'm an expert on
the field of- don't want to hear it. I'm done with that word.
Professing to be wise, they became fools. Why? They changed
the glory of the incorruptible God into the image of like
corruptible man. Watch this. It's evolution in reverse. Man,
birds, four footed things, creepy things. Did you get that?
Satan just read it backwards and gave it to Chuck Darwin.
Therefore God also gave them up to unclean this in the lust of
their hearts to dishonor their bodies among themselves. Can I
remind you this is a 2000 year old document. Who exchanged the
truth of God for the lie and worship and serve the creature
rather than the creator who is blessed forever amen. For this
reason, God gave them up. He just got rid of them like lint.
He gave them up, gave them up to their vile passions. Think about
that statement for a moment. When somebody goes erotic, if
they don't control themselves, ask Ted Bundy. Well, you can't
now, but Ted Bundy said he started out, he started out
looking at his mom's underwear catalog and he went through
every form of pornography then every form of prostitution and
then every form of sexuality and none of it eventually could get
him excited until he was murdering somebody during the
act. Ted Bundy. You should watch the interview with Dr. James
Dobson and Ted Bundy. For this reason, God gave them up to vile
passions for even their women exchanged the natural use for
what is against nature. In other words, women exchange the use of
a man and went after women. Likewise, also men leaving the
natural use of a woman burned in their lust for one another, men
with men committing what is shameful. Watch this, and
receiving in themselves the penalty of the error which was
due. That's an amazing statement. Inside of themselves,
which is fascinating. The female doesn't receive female protein
in the lesbian act, but the male receives male protein. And that
male protein within the male, immediately the receiver's
immune system goes on high alert. I mean it just goes into
full battle array, foreign protein, attack, attack! That's
why people who practice homosexuality have such short
lifespans is because on the male side is because they
predominantly die of colds and flus eventually, because they
have no more immune system. Because their body fought their
whole time together other male proteins. By the way, Dr. C.
Everett Koop wrote in his findings when he was Surgeon
General of the United States, I believe, help me out, under
Reagan, maybe. Dr. C. Everett Koop said, ladies, listen up,
girls, if you receive protein from a male, it stays in your
metabolism, in your body for seven years. One sex partner,
one night stand, seven year deposit inside of you working
through your immune system. What if it happens twice a year, two
different people? You're killing yourself. You'll die. For even
as they did not like to retain God and their knowledge, God
gave them over to today debased mind. That's an amazing
statement. I don't want to think about God! So God says, okay,
then you won't think about me anymore. I want to remind you
and encourage you that the remnant of true believers will
make it until Christ returns. He will see to it that you and I
make it through. So I want to leave you with this, people.
Now, when you see these things begin to happen, look up and
lift up your heads for your redemption draws near, wait for
His Son from heaven whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus
who delivers us from the wrath to come. For our citizenship is
in heaven from which we eagerly wait for the savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ, but concerning the times and the seasons brethren,
you'll have no need that I should write unto you, for you
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as
a thief in the night. Let not your heart be troubled, you
believe in God, believe also in me for in my Father's house or
many mansions and if it were not so I would've told you, I go to
prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again and receive you to myself that where I am
there you may be also. I do not want you to be ignorant brethren
concerning those who have died lest you sorrows those who have
no hope, for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even
so God will bring with him those who died in Jesus. For this, we
say to you by the word of the Lord that we who are alive and
remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede
those who have died, for the Lord Himself will descend from
heaven with a shout, with a voice of the archangel and the
trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we
who are alive and remain shall be caught up. That's the word
rapture in Latin. Together with them in the clouds to meet the
Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore, comfort one another with these words, and as we have
borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly man. Now this say brethren that flesh and
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption
inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery, we shall not
all sleep, but we shall be changed in a moment, in a
twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet, for the trumpet will
sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible and we shall be
changed. For this corruption must put on incorruption and
this mortal must put on immortality, looking for the
blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and
Savior Jesus Christ, and all God's people said, amen.
JACK: So listen, a very dear friend of mine who's now in
glory, Dr. Ed Hindson of Liberty University, if you can buy or
read anything by Dr. Ed Hindson, do it. Dr. Hindson used to say,
God did not give us Bible prophecy to scare us, he gave us
Bible prophecy to prepare us. And I want to encourage you
right now, you may be a little bit shaken by world events.
Well, I want you to know something, because God has told
us these things in advance. It's to bring comfort to us. It's to
prepare us. Listen, I live in southern California and this
program is coming to you from southern California. Nobody
living in Southern California is ever far off from thanking about
earthquakes. There's just a tendency where we live that you
expect the ground to move on somewhat of a regular basis.
It's not always epic, but it's constantly shifting about. Most
often you don't even notice it. But then there's times when
things get a little active and, and your, your antenna, as it
were, perks up. That's how it ought to be for the believer.
Things have always been kind of shifting and changing and moving
about, but lately there's been quite a bit of tremors, that
shouldn't freak you out. It should mean that you translate
that reality into, as it were, buckling things down, checking
the windows, making sure the water heater is bolted down,
making sure that we've got water, uh, that we'll be able
to, to take care of, of ourselves for a while in the
event of an earthquake. Well listen, God is sending us
tremors in the world around us, and you and I are to be ready.
So be encouraged. God has not abandoned you at times like
this. The exact opposite is true. God has given us
everything needed to be prepared in the Word of God. It's an
exciting time. You should be looking for Jesus' return and
living your life in a way that affects other people until he
does return for you. So listen, for more, you can go to
jackhibbs.com. There's a whole lot more teaching there.
