"Zion's Call International Telecast with Shane Vaughn 01/04/2014" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QzWEexwtMM" Transcript: "(00:00) [Music] [Applause] I'd like to welcome you to another Edition this week's edition of Zion's call the message of Truth reaching around the world about the soon coming of the Lord Jesus Christ I'm Shane vaugh your host and today I I want to take you into a study of God's word on a very important subject is Jesus Christ ever coming back to Earth again it seems like that is the redundant question on everybody's Mind Time Magazine just focused on that very subject and I'll be the first to admit if you don't understand by Bible prophecy it seems (01:03) that he'll never return but thankfully those watching me right now you're interested in knowing the truth and Jesus gave his disciples a commandment Watch and Pray so that that day does not take you unaware for many people the coming of Jesus will be like a thief in the night but not for a certain group of people those that understand the prophetic timetable I'm going to teach you today in this lesson I'm going to show you emphatically you'll never doubt again exactly where we are I'm going to show you why Jesus Christ could not come (01:44) before our day and there's one scripture in Matthew that's going to make it as plain as you've ever seen it before certain things had to be in place for certain prophecies to be fulfilled and that's only happened in our day so if you're watching me and you've been waiting for the coming of Christ faithfully and yet you wonder where is the sign of his coming welcome to Zion's call that's what we're going to be talking about today and teaching you get your Bible ready you're going to need your Bible don't ever believe anything I (02:18) say or brother John haggy or Benny anybody don't believe any of us believe the word and we're going to research it today we're going to do an in-depth study of the times that we're living in and I'll show you not an exact date of course I'm not a fanatic but I will show you the season that the Lord said he would come stay tuned I'll be right back God bless you I wanted to take a moment and speak to all of my friends and supporters across the world that watch Zion's call first of all I wanted to say thank you for all (03:13) of your support I wanted to thank you for your help for the words of encouragement that you send me every day either on the Internet or by phone or by mail and I wanted to stop and just let you know what God is doing a few days ago when I received a phone call from the president of this network about starting a television broadcast I had to pray long and hard about that decision because there's a million preachers on TV and I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going on television just to be on television and then I realized that (03:49) there is a message that this ministry preaches to the world a message about going from Mount Calvary to Mount Zion a message about enduring to the end a message about overcoming addictions and sins in your life and how to do that and I didn't hear that message being preached very much and so I knew that we had a message but of course we really didn't have the means the cost is astronomical for the airwaves but God is opening so many doors right now I received a call just yesterday from the foothills of Tennessee seven stations (04:28) that want to add this program to 30 million viewers by dish and Direct TV and then we want to do more time on this station and in Mississippi we received a phone call from the cable networks there they want to air our program and what we need is God through you to help us do that we are asking you today if you've been blessed by this broadcast there's going to be an address at the bottom of this screen I have no holy water to sell no wear cloths to sell no gimmicks at all just a plea for those that would like to help this ministry go to the (05:07) next level and meet the need that the people have we invite you to support us today God bless you for anything you send or anything you do and I pray that you will be part of Zion's call again God bless you in advance for what the Lord lays on your heart to help us go across the world with the message of Zion God bless you as my prayer greetings and welcome to this Bible study today on the signs of the time and where we are the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ the Apostle Paul said that in the last days that (05:55) there would be another gospel and another Christ that was being preached and we're living in that day just turn on your television go to your local church and you will hear a Jesus that want you to have your best life right now or you will hear from the predus group that Jesus has already come back go to another church and you'll hear another gospel but there is one gospel that Jesus commanded us to preach he said go forth and preach the gospel of the kingdom of God and today we are not preaching the second coming of Jesus (06:37) we're preaching everything but what the church is supposed to be preaching and there's a reason for that we're tired 2,000 years saying the same thing over and over and over every church service they said it for a th years didn't happen said it 500 more years didn't happen so out of tiredness and out of redundancy why don't we just change the message evidently he's never coming so why don't we reinvent the will and why don't we just preach that he's already come and that now he's living his kingdom is here now and that he's (07:22) already come in the Holy Ghost the holy he came on the day of Pentecost and these false doctrines are robbing the church of the second coming of Jesus Christ so I want to show you when Jesus said he was going to return this one scripture is going to help you understand why he has not come yet find it in Matthew 24 turn with me and we'll begin reading at verse number 21 he said then shall be Great Tribulation such was not since the beginning of the world to this day nor ever shall be now a lot of the Predators Brethren say that Jesus came in (08:11) ad70 at Jerusalem when Titus destroyed Jerusalem and that that was the prophecy Jesus was talking about but the problem they run into is the very line when Jesus says nor shall there ever be greater tribulation than this period of time that he's talking about I'm sorry but since ad70 there's been much greater tribulation than Roman than Titus inflicted upon Judea World War I where 8 million Souls Were Lost World War II where 55 million people were desecrated but Jesus said I'm going to come at a time when there's going to be (08:56) such destruction that the world's never never seen anything like it before nor will there ever see anything like it so when is this going to be read the next verse verse number 22 and except those days what days these days of trouble that he's talking about except those days be cut short there will be no flesh saved unfortunately the church has desecrated the meaning of that verse they think it's talking about salvation go back and read the original manuscript Jesus said if I don't intervene in the Affairs of (09:41) man during this time of Great Tribulation then no flesh would be left alive every human being on the planet would be destroyed if I don't step in at that moment at my second coming and intervene now I want to ask you a question the scoffer the mocker I want to ask you a question in the history of the world in your lifetime in the history of mankind has there ever been a period of time where with the push of a button in 30 minutes every human being All Flesh could be destroyed in one day has that time ever existed before now of course (10:27) the answer is no and now you know why Jesus Christ has never come back yet because he said he would return at a time when All Flesh could be destroyed if he doesn't come back that time has never existed before now may I quote to you the words of that famous President John F Kennedy he said in 1961 to the United Nation Assembly and listen to these sombering words Mankind and I quote must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind he continued every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when (11:17) this planet will no longer be habitable he said these words the mere existence of modern weapons 10 million times more powerful than any that the world has ever seen and only minutes away from any Target on Earth is a source of Great Horror and here's what he finished up saying President John F Kennedy not the Bible the president the man that had the code to the suitcase the man that was in the no said these sombering words together he said we shall save our planet it or Together We Shall Perish in her Flames oh yes presidents know world (12:10) leaders know the danger of the world that we live in Jesus prophesy that there would come a day when All Flesh would be destroyed if he did not return so we read in Matthew where he said I will come at that time what time during a period called World War 3 World War I and World War II was leading up to this great climatic battle that is about to begin we are so close to this happening the church age began in ad. (12:51) 31 that's when the church age began we've not yet been 2,000 years but during this time man has beg developing weapons that can destroy the planet and in spite of these facts the arms race still continues I was talking to someone today about Hiroshima and Nagasaki the destruction of mankind we are the only race of creatures that has created weapons to destroy ourself there's coming a day very soon to where if Jes Jesus Christ does not return at that very pivotal moment there will be no flesh saved anywhere on this planet now I want to (13:43) quote another statement from you that was made before the United Nations and this was made by a leading government official he said man's Only Hope for survival his words not mine he said these words our only hope is to get a strong hand from some place to rise up and take control of the nations of the world brother and sister I want to tell you something he was exactly right that strong hand from somewhere is coming and he's coming to take over the nations of the world let's read Isaiah [Music] 40 and verse 10 and let's see who that (14:36) strong hand is going to be Isaiah 40 and verse 10 behold the Lord God will come with a strong hand and his arm shall rule for him who is the arm of the Lord God Jesus Christ and the Bible said that the strong hand that the nations are begging for is going to come when Jesus Christ returns to this planet to take over the Throne of Satan as the governor of the earth and of his government there shall never be any end your Bible shows you that all is not lost this sacred book gives us hope the answer to your questions is in this book Jesus Christ (15:28) is coming again but the problem with people we don't understand timetable we understand promise but we don't understand season if I was to tell you Christmas is coming God forbid if I was to tell you that Easter is coming God forbid but if I was to tell you those things do you believe that they're going to come is Easter going to come in the middle of winter is Christmas going to come in the middle of July no there is a season there is an appointed time for every Prophecy in the Bible we are at the closing hours of the sixth day remember (16:17) this God is Lord of the Sabbath day Jesus said the the day of the Lord every Prophecy in the Bible from Amos Isaiah Ezekiel what is it talking about the day of the Lord one day why because the six previous days didn't belong to the Lord they were governed by man and Lucifer and what is the result of our government famine children dying in Africa all over the world today not enough food War happening all over the world nuclear weapons biological weapons the result of man's government is death and destruction and as a result six days God (17:09) has given us to prove to ourself that we cannot govern ourself we cannot judge righteously we have crime everywhere the drug epidemic we have no answer for it man is so brilliant he can go to the moon but he can't have peace with his neighbor people TI up fighting across the street brilliant but yet clueless proverb said that man doesn't know the way of Peace Jesus will bring peace to this world how many years have you been hearing about peace in the Middle East how many years have you actually seen it zero why it's impossible why did Jesus (17:53) tell us to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem why because the only time that Jerusalem will have peace is when he comes so when he says pray for the Peace of Jerusalem he's saying pray for my return you see these six days man has been able to have free rule over the Earth with Satan as our high Governor that's why the world is in chaos today but you see the Lord is the lord of the seventh day he's the lord of the Sabbath the 7,000th year these days are 1,000 years with our Lord we've gone through six of them almost we're about 30 years (18:39) outside of that time span but the Lord at the end of the sixth day must intervene or every human being on this planet will be desecrated by nuclear war biological weapons and so with that understanding I hope you begin to see Jesus Christ must be held back until the season of God is ready for the coming of Jesus now Jesus said these words he said that there would be a day of great trouble coming upon the face of the Earth diseases that we've never seen before but these prophecies were not for Generations before us now let's turn to (19:27) the book of second Peter chapter 3 and I want to read you something second Peter chapter 3 I want to show you the sign of the end time I want to prove to you what day we're living in second Peter chapter 2 and verse 3 here's what he said he said in the last day second Peter sorry three and verse three knowing this first that there shall come in the last days mockers we are living in that day where everybody is mocking the second coming of Jesus Christ we look like a bunch of fools for preaching the coming of the (20:12) Lord but you see we've been watching somebody said well brother Von the Lord is coming like a thief in the night really what does that mean to you he followed it up with this statement but if you had known what hour the thief was coming you would have been ready for the thief the Lord doesn't want his children in the dark about his coming it's not a secret to the church it's a secret to the world he said for us a thief Is Not Invisible he's not coming invisibly a thief comes unexpectedly unless you're waiting for (20:53) him with your shotgun there's going to be a group of people that are mocked every day we're ridic ridiculed as end time Fanatics we're ridiculed as small-minded people but we will not be caught unaware why we're watching we're watching every news event we're watching Germany rise and we're watching Europe come back up we're watching the Roman empire being restored we're watching as Benjamin Netanyahu is turning from America for his help and he's turning to Angela Merkel the chancellor of Germany the very one that's going to make a (21:30) peace treaty with him to protect him from Iran the King of the South see everything is lining up only the fool doesn't recognize it but somebody watching me I want to promise you something our Lord is soon to come and he's coming at the right moment and at the exact time that he said he was coming let's go to Ezekiel CH 12 and I'll close this lesson out Ezekiel 12 let's see what the Lord says verse 23 tell them tell who tell the mockers tell the one that's watching me right now that said the Lord is never coming (22:14) back tell them something God said tell them this thus sayeth the Lord God I will make this proverb to cease what proverb he says in verse 22 that everybody's running around around saying the days are never happening and that the vision and the promise is not going to come to pass he said you tell them that they will no more say those words but say unto them the days are at hand and the vision will come to pass ladies and gentlemen I want to wake you up today and I want you to know that in the next few broadcasts I'm going to begin (22:55) teaching you on the second coming of Christ next week I'm going to get very deep into exactly when Jesus Christ said he would return not the day nor the hour but the season God doesn't want us to be ignorant of the Season don't be among the Skeptics I want to tell you prophecy has not failed not one Prophecy in the word of God has ever failed turn with me to the Book of Joel it's in the Old Testament The Book of Joel the minor prophet and let's find out in chapter 1 when these prophecies are set for chapter 1 and verse two hear this ye men (23:40) and give ear all ye inhabitants of the land hath this been in your day even in the days of your fathers tell ye your children of it and let your children tell their children and another generation the Prophecies of the day of the Lord was not for their generation he said the day of the Lord is for a future generation and the generation that shall see the coming of the Lord is the generation that will see the development of a weapon that can destroy all flesh and Only Our Generation can make that claim we're living in the closing hours (24:25) of the sixth day of God's plan for the world are you ready for that day are you making preparations for the coming of Jesus Christ he's coming very soon and he's coming to rule the Earth he's coming to set up his kingdom for a thousand years and who will be with him oh saints of God go read the book of Daniel we'll go into that next week who's going to be ruling with him and reigning with him in his kingdom over the nations of of the earth my time is gone I'm left with a very few minutes but I want to stop a moment and thank (25:05) every one of you that have been watching our program as it airs around the world we have a mission here at Zion's call and it's to encourage your faith it's to shake you from your complacency it's to call you into a more intimate Walk With Jesus Christ it's to comat the teachings of the world that says that our Lord is never coming again it's to combat the doctrine of Calvinism that says once you come to the Altar and give your life to Jesus Christ that you can live how you want to live you've already got your ticket to Heaven we're (25:41) calling men to understand this is a race and you better start running because the Bible said pray that you're counted worthy to enter in to the kingdom of God what does that mean it means Jesus Christ died for your sins but he did more than that he died to give you power over your sins God is wanting you to become more dedicated more consecrated those of you that have been playing around with God there's coming a judgment very soon our Lord is going to resurrect you from the grave your DNA will be restructured I'll teach you one (26:16) day how that's going to happen your body is going to be the very structure that created this body will create your new body it will be done instantaneously and then your mind that records all all of your memories will be replayed it will be like a computer plugged in everything will be known from your life it will be replayed why do you think you have a mind everything that you do is being stored in your mind why for the great judgment when your mind will tell on you when your mind will be the memories that (26:50) comes back have you ever in walking through the day and a memory comes out of nowhere you remember something from a time in your life that you've totally forgot for gotten about why nothing is dead in your memory Every Lie every law that you've broken against God is all stored there to be played against you but there's another point in your mind that's waiting for the Judgment the day when you believed on Jesus Christ as your lord and savior as your master the day you turned from your lifestyle of lawbreaking the day that you turned from (27:25) your rebellion and you made a choice to follow the master that will also be played at your trial on the Judgment Day and from that moment forward is all that you will be accountable for if you're watching me today and you said well I accepted the Lord is my savior is he your master have you turned have you repented have you left the lifestyle of sin that you once lived in brother V is begging you today don't believe the lie turn today God bless you is my prayer [Music]"
