Just a whispered prayer, Just a whispered prayer. Lord isam in Darkness When you may walk inside shine, you find the light and the whisper. Who can turn your gladness? Who can your you sadness not travel All In darkness. When you may walk inside shine, you can find the light and Could ever plan. The behold the things I see with Reverend I, everything that that falls upon sunrise every day in evening. Here now is H m s Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker. He's subject from the Mount of the Ascension. One day Dr. George Gill was in the study of Pastor William Anderson of Dallas, Texas. Suddenly Dr. Gill asked Dr. Anderson about his attitude and the subject of our Lord's second coming. The pastor wasn't interested. He said he had been so busy preaching about the first coming. He hadn't had time to think about the second coming. Well said Dr. Gill. I just wanted to know whether you loved his appearing left alone in his study. Dr. Bill, as many of his friends called him, couldn't get the subject out of his mind. He kept asking himself over and over again, do I love his appearing? The words of scripture seemed to repeat themselves. Those words of Hebrews 9 27 As it is appointed unto man once to die. But after this, the judgment so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time unto salvation. He took up his Bible, began to read from the writings of Paul in second Timothy in other scriptures before he left his desk that day his heart burned within him. He realized he really did love the Lord's appearing on going home. He astonished his wife by saying he was going to resign. The Presbyterian hired me as a post millennialist and now I'm a pre millennialist. He thought it was the only fair thing to do so he took the matter before the board of elders. He said, I'm resigning. He told them the reason, but one of them cried out why? That's just what we've been praying for. Resign nothing. God has answered our prayers for you to preach the good news. From that day, Dr. Bill Anderson's ministry was transformed. His pastorate was so fruitful. It was spoken of throughout the whole world. This blessed hope of our Lord's return certainly does change things when it gets into a man's heart. But now let us read about something that happened on a Thursday afternoon. Here it is in St. Luke's gospel chapter 24, verses 50 to 52. Jesus had appeared again to his disciples after his resurrection. It's time for him now to return to his father in heaven to share the glory which he had before the world was and he led them out as far as to Bethany and he lifted up his hands and blessed them That came to pass. While he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven and they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. The Savior had been in this world as a man for about 33 years. He had endured its scorn, its insult, it's persecution. He had been rejected, crucified, had risen from the dead. Now he was to ascend to his throne of glory. What are his last thoughts? Thoughts of condemnation and judgment for this old world. Now his last words are words of promise and comfort and blessing. He leaves with his disciples the wonderful promise. Lo, I am with you all way. Even unto the end of the world, through the ministry of his holy spirit, which he sent, he never left the world and will never leave it as long as his people are here. The Savior leads his disciples up the mount of Olives where they'd spent so many happy hours together they look out upon the scenes filled with holy memories. He leads the way across the summit and down a little on the eastern slope toward the town of Bethany where his dear friends Lazarus and Martha and Mary lived. He pauses the disciples, gather close about him to hear his wonderful words. He lifts up his hands in blessing. He seems to be growing taller and gravitation loses its power over him. He slowly as sins from among them drawn heavenward until the cloud hides him from their sight from the same writer. Dr. Luke. Let us read another description of the same scene. We find it here in the second volume of his works, the acts of the apostles chapter one beginning with verse nine, and when he had spoken these things while they beheld, he was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight and while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel, which also said amen of Galilee. Why <unk> gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner. As you've seen him go into heaven from this testimony, we know that our savior is not done with this world. This earth has not seen the last of him. He was here once. He will be here again. The disciples saw him as he was taken up. It was a matter of their physical eyesight. They saw him, they beheld. They looked steadfastly toward heaven. Then came the question of the men in white. Why are you gazing it a heaven? The answer of course was because Jesus has just ascended. We saw him go. Then the promise comes the same. Jesus, not someone else, not a spirit being but Jesus who was human as well as divine Jesus who was real. The Savior whom they had talked to, loved, touched the Savior whose voice they heard, whose face they have just seen. This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner. As you have seen him go into heaven. How much clearer could the testimony be? So like as notice the words, he shall return in reality, Jesus is coming. That's the message of the ascension. He that ascended shall descend. He who went back to heaven shall come back to earth. The savior came to seek and say that which was lost. We read in Luke 1910, he died on Calvary cross with a crown of thorns upon his brow. The curse that came on man and on the earth itself is to be removed at last and all through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, he bought back that which had been lost through sin. Not only man but the earth itself and the whole creation travels and groans together. Until now. The apostle said, waiting for the redemption that is waiting for deliverance when man shall be redeemed at the second coming of our Lord. That's all in Romans, the chapter. It all belongs to Jesus by right of creation for he made all things and it all belongs to him. Also by right of redemption because he has redeemed all. God gave the world an all that's in it to Jesus. I will give you the the nations for that inheritance. He says in the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Psalm two verse eight. It all belongs to him and he will come back to assert his sovereignty. He himself said in the great parable of the nobleman that he would go into a far country to receive then inheritance into return. Yes, we thank him for the words and to return he is coming back. He ascended to heaven. The scriptures are plain on the subject. Here it is in Mark 1619. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. What's next in the plan of heaven? We read it in Hebrews 10 12, but this man, speaking of course of our Lord Jesus, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever sat down in the right hand of God from hence fourth expecting till his enemies be made his foot stool expecting what the son of God is awaiting the fulfillment of the divine purpose, the divine promise God sent him out to triumph over his foes. He is sitting now as at word to rest upon his throne, but by his spirit and his providence. He is at work in this world of ours, subjecting the hearts of sinners to himself, but the subjection will be fully accomplished only at his second coming. His enemies Satan and death itself whose power and strength are in sin and whose power and strength we know will be taken away and utterly destroyed. No wonder we want Jesus to come again. The cry of billions of broken hearts through the ages has been deliver us from death. Bring back those we have loved long since. Wipe away our tears that cry has answered in God's promise. We are not to sorrow concerning them which are asleep for we have a blessed hope for the Lord himself. Shall his sin from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the arch angel, with the Trump of God and that dead in Christ shall rise first, 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. Therefore, comfort one another with these words and these comfortable words are found in First Thessalonians four 16 and here's the main point of it all. Jesus is expecting to come, hence fourth expecting the scripture puts it. But are we expecting him to come? Are we? That's the question. No one knows. No man knows the hour of his return. He said so himself. God has not revealed it. Matthew 24 36 to that day, an hour north. No man, no, not the angels of heaven, but it's a glorious expectation to have that should be ever burning brightly in our hearts like a lamp. Be also ready. He said For in such an hour a ye think knot, the son of man cometh, Matthew 24 44. If the year, the day the hour of Christ's return were known, it would destroy all the spiritual impact and the blessing of this wonderful hope. We are not only to get ready but to be ready. A tourist came up on a beautiful villa on the shore of a lovely lake in Switzerland, far off the beaten track. He knocked at the garden gate, was admitted by an aged agent warden who seemed glad to see him. He showed round the flower boarded walks. How long have you been here? Ask a stranger. 24 years. How often has the owner been here during that time? Four times. When was he here last? 12 years ago. He writes often, I suppose never once. From whom do you receive your pay from the agent in mainland. Does he come often? He's never been here. Who does come then? I'm almost always alone. Only seldom is a visitor like yourself. Drop in yet you have the garden and perfect order. Everything flourishing as if you expected your master to come tomorrow as if he were coming today. Sir. Today the old man is claim radio friend. That's the spirit of the true Christian life as if Christ were coming today. Not far off in the future, but today I know not in what watch he comes, right what hour he may appear, whether at midnight or at mourn or in what season of the year. I only know that he is near the centuries have come and gone dark centuries of absence. Dreier, I dare not child the long delay nor ask when I, his voice shall hear. I only know that he is near. I do not think it can belong till in his glory he appear. And yet I dare not name the day nor fix the solemn advent year. I only know that he is an here in view of this Sure return of Christ. He said, I will come again. What should we do after that Thursday afternoon in the Mount of Ascension? Those who saw him go away and heard the promise worshiped him. They returned to Jerusalem with great joy. We're continually in the temple praising and blessing God. How can we keep from being happy? An active in his service? Let us to serve him joyfully until he comes Shall home. Jesus. Jesus. My step Jesus com Jesus. Now this is Orbi ivers of the voice of prophecy saying throughout the days ahead, let us trust God and go forward in faith And as we go forward in faith, why not take advantage of this new voice of prophecy Bible course, the light of the world, absolutely new. We're just announcing it right in for your Bible course, the light of the world. We'll be happy to send it to you. And now we say, have faith in God. Christ died for us who have offended, have faith in God. He rose again. Angel attended, have faith in God. From all of it, he has ascended, have faith. Dear friend in God, we hope our broadcast has brought blessing today. Be with us again next week for another broadcast brought to you by the Voice of prophecy Sea. The Lord bless the and keep the the Lord. Make his face to shine upon the and be gracious unto the the Lord. Lift up his countenance upon the, and give the Peace.
