Revelation 22:13: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”
John 1:1: “In the beginning (Alpha) was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Theo).”
Our subject matter today is “Planet Earth is on Death Row.”
In Genesis chapter 3, the serpent lied about death.
Only the righteous, not the religious, will see God.
Religious people do not have a claim to heaven, but only the righteous people do.
There will be no denominations in heaven.
God endorses righteousness, not denominations.
Matthew 10:41:
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
Denominations are not anything that will get you eternal life, but righteousness is Biblical from Genesis to Revelation.
Righteousness is not a denomination, but it is the call of God, and it is what Noah preached for 120 years.
So only the righteous will see God, not the Catholics or Baptists or Assemblies of God or African Baptists, etc.
Genesis 3:1-5:
1 Now the serpent was subtler than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is during the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Planet earth is on death row. Death is now on planet earth and a mass execution date has been scheduled for the whole earth to die.
So, everybody on planet earth is on death row.
You can read about the Tribulation in Matthew’s gospel chapter 24.
No flesh would be saved if the days were not shortened.
Matthew 24:22: And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Everybody on planet earth is sitting on death row, except for a very special group of people called the elect.
You are going to die unless you are one of the elect.
Planet earth is on death row.
I have given myself this title: A Man for All Seasons
This means that I have experienced just about everything there is to experience on planet earth.
I’ve met Jesus and Elijah and I’ve picked cotton, I’ve been in prison, I’ve been rich when I was a burglar, I’ve been beaten, etc.
I must step back, the one thing that I have not experienced is that I have never sat on death row.
That must be torturous.
I’ve never had that experience, and most people that have experienced it cannot tell us what it feels like.
They have death certain.
Remember I taught you that death is a curse, and the entire planet is under the curse.
Romans 5:12:
Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
No one is exempt from death, except the elect.
Everybody is sitting on death row, except the elect.
That is according to Jesus.
Every person rich or poor, great or small, is going to die except a small group of people called the elect.
Matthew 16:28: Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Think about the majesty of that.
The devil knows who the elect is. The elect may not know for sure, but the devil sure does.
The elect sits above the kings and presidents and billionaires of the earth.
Everyone else is on death row, but the elect is exempt.
Just a small group of people reach that success.
What a joy it is to be a member of this church where such messages are being preached.
We are being inspired to believe that we are the elect, and that sits us above the White House.
The elect shall not taste of death, and we are not on death row.
If you are one of the elect, you are not sitting on death row.
What we see happening is simply the hand of God and the dismantling of an unjust society.
No matter how wealthy you are, or your position, unless you are one of the elect, you are on death row.
Jesus has plucked out a small group of people that He calls the elect that will not taste of death.
Matthew 24:1-22:
And Jesus went out and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2 And Jesus said unto them, see ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, take heed that no man deceives you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diver’s places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take anything out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
There is no getting away from the fact that almost all of 7 billion people on planet earth is going to die, all except for the elect.
