2011-03-20 ncc 4th svc raw and unedited personal notes

Official title of the CD for this sermon was “God’s Glory Unveiled In The Last Days”

Summary:  Lift up your head because Jesus is coming back for us! Jesus had predicted  great earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear power, and indicated that they all signal His imminent return for us.  We are encouraged as God’s protection, glory and goodness will be unveiled to us in these last days. As believers we are called to be beacons of light in these difficult times, so that the nations of the world will come to know the true hope and salvation found in the person of Jesus Christ.

Editor: came back from Malacca in time for 4th Svc. Hallelujah !

Editor : I think this is video recording of 2nd Svc

Pst first choice for his recent holiday was Japan but he could not bring himself to think of Japan but he could only think of Hk although he is not a Hk person

When Pst saw the pix of earthquake God reminded him that this is what God had revealed to him

In turkey Pst had dreams on 3 consecutive mornings.

1. Saw himself surrounded by mice. Food shortage. But it will not come to him and to us as Pst is our rep.

2. Surrounded in water by crocodiles. Again did not touch him.

3. Surrounded by terrorists and would not touch him or us

Croc . Now he understands that this was tsunami as like crocs come by stealth to kill

Pst recalls time in cappadoccia where shield insignia appeared on his jacket. Not dusk halo as it is bright . Also got designs when magnified

“This year my people will need protection” – God told Pst

God told Pst in Turkey that would be an earthquake of unprecedented scale .

Pst prayed as he felt that as God showed him , he ought to

For magnitude of earthquake so large, deaths not so so large relatively. Although every death is precious

Ps 65:11. This goodness found in God house

Psa 65:4

God full of unmitigated goodness

God came in to prevent the disaster from being worse than devil wanted.

Devil act is very showy . In contrast to God

You can see what God is doing by reversing what devil is doing

Devil sent tsunami. God sending tsunami of salvation to japan

Those planted IN house will flourish outside ie in the courts

This year we will need God’s protection especially in our travels

Pst recounted how insane man smashed glass bootle but the glass did not touch him instead forming a straight line as if there was a shield protecting pastor where not a single piece of glass passing beyond the line

This is what God wants to do for us. Surrounded with us as a Shield for defense as well as blessing

We got to trust God for protection as there is only so much due care can prevent.

Luke 21:7 – 12

Great earthquakes, Jesus prophesied. What happened in Japan . 9.0 was one such

V 12 but before all these things happen. — Jesus telling them the Jews will suffer the things in v12 – 24 Jesus time . Not for us

V25 onwards is the prophecy for our time

“the sea and the waves roaring”

This is tsunami

Waves – Gk : Salos

Like lion roaring

V26 man heart fearing for what they expect will happen

Now folks stocking up on salt ! Fearing radiation

V 26. Uranus Gk — powers of heaven

Shaken is gk — saleuo
See Thayer

Motion caused by winds storms waves etc

Or emotional, caused to bring down from happy state

Saleuo root is Salos. Therefore the fear and shaking caused by the uranium shaken by the waves ! The japan tsunami affecting reactor

Keep on eating the lord’s supper to protect against food contamination . Elisha threw the flour (Jesus cross type ) into pot

See type of this in OT when Elisha threw flour into contaminated pot.

So he [Elisha] said, “Then bring some flour.” And he put it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot. 2 Kings 4:41 NKJV

Luke 21:27-28 look up when these things begin to happen as redemption draws near

This refers to bodily redemption as our spirits redeemed already

Look up. Not down . Don’t be discouraged

Crown in Heb in attar – a shield. For believers in his goodness

Several prophetic events in this chapter

Ps 65:7 sea and waves! Noise. Tumult of people.

God stilled it

Ps 65:8 they that dwelt in the farthest part of earth

From david perspective in writing – NZ and Japan

His signs but not he caused it

“outgoings” is Heb sunrise . — Japan !!!

Qetsev – farthest parts

Obey first understanding comes later . In Christian life

V 5 ends of earth is Qetsev . God will be confidence of NZ and japan

Far-off – rachok

Must be japan and NZ

Confidence why ? God will still the sea

V9 god will gently nurture and water us

Tsunami is not nurturing

That ‘s good that comes from the tragedy

Husband come back home early . Kids spend less time on x box and Internet Family bonding increases in Japan. With the power shortage, dinner by candle light etc

ISA 60:1-3

Arise shine . Light seen most in intense darkness

B4 we can arise and shine this must happen ISA 59:19 -22

Should be reference to Heb Kadem for east but rising sun used !

Glory of God is God presence where u can taste and feel it

When will glory be felt by japan ? When enemy come in like a flood . Banner raised

Why Sg so blessed ? Folks prayed

We are salt of earth for Sg

In 2007, leader dubbed zone sermon into japanese . Leader sponsored it. No other sermon dubbed into Jap

Holy Comm book translated into Jap

Pst sees teams for Jap. Maybe adopt a village for rebuilding

Joke: we can all cycle in Jap as aji no Moto. Pun on ajinomoto sauce

U can see how gospel can spread in jap

Our part is pray that we keep on being blessed

Ps 67:1-2 merciful is hanani

Bless etc all in imperfect tense

God wants to keep on gracing and blessing

Imperfect tense. David keep on asking God keep on giving

How will god will be known ? By blessing us ! That is how they will come to know our Yeshua

Ps 67:7 god will bless us and All The Ends of Earth will fear Him

Pst led church to pray for Japan that gospel revolution will be upon them . That protection and salvation will be upon them. That missionaries will be there . That there will be good leaders in Japan.
