"Many of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears walk and so he's weeping as he writes this these hard things and so today we walk into this list of hard things and then I'll tell you where we're gonna focus these these folks who are they of whom he had told them walk as enemies of the cross of Christ." [00:25:59]
"Their end is destruction their God is their belly they glory in their shame their minds are set on earthly things and then there's a break and he started talking about the contrast namely us so here are people who are utterly and totally earthly and here are people whose citizenship is heaven." [00:65:28]
"Notice he says that they're enemies of the cross we're going to spend a session on what that means but before we get there we need to find out well what is it about them that would move him to describe them as enemies of the cross so we're going to skip that for the time being come back to it maybe session after next." [00:105:78]
"They're their appetites are their absolute authority their God they are ruled by their belly their growing their their desires their appetites their hungers their passions the second thing he says is that shameful behaviors are now their glory we'll talk about that in the future session and the last thing he says is they have a mindset and it's all about the earth." [00:140:14]
"Destruction in Paul's thinking in Philippians is the opposite of eternal salvation that comes from God so let's broaden out a little bit now here's 2nd Thessalonians 1:6 God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God." [00:267:92]
"Remember in Philippians 1:28 salvation was the opposite of destruction and so saved here from Wrath confirms that we are thinking of the wrath of God when he says that their end is destruction so let's broaden out a little further now go to Jesus here's Matthew 7:13 enter by the narrow gate for the gate is wide the way is easy that leads to destruction and those who enter by tour many for the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life and those who find it are few." [00:404:21]
"Destruction is in in the afterlife and it is the Vengeance of God and the wrath of God and the opposite of salvation and the opposite of life and not surprisingly it's called hell in Matthew 5:29 if your right eye causes you to sin tear it out and throw it away for it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell." [00:457:88]
"Vengeance wrath destruction hell now let's go one step further to Revelation and find out how terrible and how long it is the Beast revelation 17:8 the Beast that you saw was and is not and is a out to rise from the bottomless pit and go to destruction I'm choosing the same Greek word in every case I'm finding these these text simply by using the concordance for the word destruction in in Greek and you do the same thing in English." [00:507:02]
"Bottomless pit and lake of fire and vengeance and destruction and wrath and hell how long is it how long will the enemies of God be there revelation 14:9 2:11 if anyone worships the Beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand he also will drink the wine of God's wrath poured full strength into the cup of his anger and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur is the lake of fire in the presence of the holy angels in the presence of the Lamb and the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever." [00:592:149]
"Perhaps we get some sense of why there might have been tears flowing Paul did not rejoice in the destruction of his adversaries he wept over it." [00:699:309]
