Prepare for the Really Big One! (Captioned)

WELL GOOD MORNING! HOW ARE YOU GUYS THIS MORNING? [GOOD] I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A STORY AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS STORY IS TRUE OR NOT BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE. YOU KNOW WE ONLY KNOW THAT THE THINGS IN THE BIBLE ARE TRUE. IF WE READ THINGS IN THE NEWSPAPER OR HEAR IT ON THE RADIO, WE'RE NOT SURE. BUT I READ ON THE INTERNET A VERY INTERESTING STORY THE OTHER DAY AND I'M GONNA SHARE IT WITH YOU. THIS ROMAN SOLDIER WAS GOING THROUGH MESOPOTAMIA AND EGYPT AND PALESTINE AND HE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JUDAISM ... OF COURSE CHRISTIANITY DIDN'T EVEN EXIST BECAUSE IT WAS 31 A.D. AND AS HE WAS GOING HE WROTE A MEMOIR. AND HE WROTE ABOUT A SANDSTORM HE SAW IN MESOPOTAMIA. AND HE ALSO WROTE ABOUT A GREAT TEACHER THAT HE SAW IN PALESTINE. AND HE SAID: I SAW THIS MAN AND GREAT CROWDS WERE FOLLOWING HIM AND HE WAS A HIGHLY RESPECTED TEACHER. AND HIS NAME WAS JESUS OF NAZARETH. AND HE WENT TO THE HOUSE OF ELISHEBA AND HE TOOK A STILLBORN CHILD OF THIS WOMAN AND RAISED IT TO LIFE. HE PRAYED IN ARAMAIC TO GOD AND THEN HE RAISED IT TO LIFE AND GAVE IT BACK TO HIS MOTHER, KICKING AND SCREAMING, A HEALTHY YOUNG CHILD. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT STORY'S TRUE OR NOT. IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE. BUT IT WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN NAMED MARCUS VELLEIUS PATERCULUS AND HE IS KNOWN AS AN ACCURATE WRITER OF THINGS FROM OTHER WRITINGS AND THEY JUST FOUND THIS MANUSCRIPT. IT WAS UNKNOWN AND THEY FOUND IT JUST ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO AGO IN THE VATICAN ARCHIVES. SOMEBODY WAS GOING THROUGH AND FOUND IT. ISN'T THAT AMAZING? BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT'S MORE AMAZING IS THAT EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE IS TRUE. AND WE KNOW THAT THE GREAT ONE IS COMING. THE GREAT DAY OF GOD'S JUDGMENT. NOW MAYBE YOU GUYS ARE, UM, IN THE SCHOOLS ... DO YOU PREPARE FOR 'THE BIG ONE'? THE GREAT SHAKEOUT? DID YOU DO A DRILL IN SCHOOL? OKAY, PRETEND YOU HAVE DESKS HERE, OKAY? AND WE'RE GONNA SAY: "EARTHQUAKE, EARTHQUAKE!" WHAT DO YOU DO? WHAT DO YOU DO? DO IT! DO IT! C'MON, DO IT! WHAT DO YOU DO? OKAY, YOU DROP, YOU COVER, YOU HOLD. OKAY? ALRIGHT, NOW ... IT'S THE BIG ONE! IT'S THE LAST DAY! THE LORD IS BREAKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS. WHAT DO YOU DO? [LAUGHTER AS WILLIAM THROWS HIS HEAD BACK] WHAT DO YOU DO? JESUS SAYS IN LUKE, HE SAYS: LOOK UP! WHEN THESE THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE, WHEN THE WORLD IS FALLING APART, THE STARS ARE FALLING FROM THE SKY, THE MOON'S TURNING TO BLOOD, THE EARTH IS SHAKING, AND THE SEA IS EVAPORATING, THE SKY'S FLEEING FROM GOD'S PRESENCE. THE EARTH IS JUST COMING TO A COMPLETE END AND THE LORD IS BREAKING THROUGH THE CLOUDS. WHAT ARE WE TO DO? OTHERS ARE GONNA BE FEARING. THEY'RE GONNA BE HIDING IN CAVES. THEY'RE GONNA BE RUNNING FROM THE LORD, BUT HE SAYS: LIFT UP YOUR HEADS FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR. WE LIFT UP OUR HEADS BECAUSE THE ONE WHO REDEEMED US, JESUS OUR LORD, IS COMING BACK AND HE'S OUR SAVIOR. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO FEAR THE LAST DAY, DO WE? AND THE REASON WHY WE DON'T HAVE TO FEAR IT BECAUSE JESUS IS OUR REDEEMER. HE'S THE ONE WHO BOUGHT US BACK OUT OF SLAVERY FOR SINS. HE PAID FOR THAT WITH HIS OWN BLOOD. HE RANSOMED US FROM THE DEVIL, FROM DEATH, FROM ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. AND HE MADE US HIS OWN CHILDREN. SO ... WHENEVER YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT GREAT DAY, THE GREAT SHAKEOUT, AND THE EARTHQUAKE IS A SIGN OF THE END TIMES, TOO, REMEMBER THAT THE LORD IS GONNA COME BACK ... HE'S THE GREAT ONE ON THAT GREAT DAY. THE FINAL DAY OF OUR LORD. AND WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THAT EACH DAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR SEATS AND WE'LL CONTINUE WITH THE SINGING OF THE NEXT HYMN, HYMN NUMBER: 208.
