Introduction: Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 27, 2022
This sermon talks about the Lord’s compassion. It is eternal.
Trillions of years ago, we were with the Lord in His thoughts; He did not even tell the Angels.
In Luke 16: 19 – 31, the Lord Jesus referred to the rich man and Lazarus.
Immediately after Lazarus died, he “was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom”, representing paradise.
Immediately after the rich man died, he was in hell. The “rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments”.
The Lord Jesus gave this example to show that it applies to each human being that comes upon this earth.
Each person will have to give an account of himself/herself to the Almighty God. He has already paid the price for our salvation on the cross.
Ephesians 2: 1 – 3: “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”
Before you came to true salvation, you “were” dead in trespasses and sins, you “walked” according to the course of this world, you “had” conversation in times past in the lusts of your flesh and you “were” by nature the child of wrath, even as others who are not saved.
As a result of salvation, your life has now changed.
Ephesians 2: 7: “That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
In the ages to come, throughout eternity, we will still be glowing in the eternal salvation that the Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, has given to us.
We will be in eternity with Him. What a blessing.
You will be blessed.
Summary of Sermon preached on Sunday, February 27, 2022
We listened to a sermon titled “Compassion – Eternal – Part II”, CD # 903, preached by Brother Neal Frisby on 7/25/82 (AM).
In the sermon, Brother Frisby said:
Trillions of years ago, we were with the Lord in His thoughts; He did not even tell the Angels.
If you were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and you go back to the Trinitarians, you are a hypocrite.
If you drink wine or strong drink, there is a curse that follows.
Proverbs 20: 1: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
We are to witness and to deliver those that are not saved.
The Lord was involved with the building of the great pyramid, not the other two pyramids. It is like the Bible. The great pyramid is spoken of in the Bible.
Isaiah 19: 19: “In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.”
The seed of God have eternal life.
They that love God and have His seed have eternal life.
Whoever built the great pyramid had the knowledge of the heavens. At the entrance, there is a shaft that goes downward into a pit, representing the downward course of man because of sin. It points to the north star, the polar star, representing the fall of Satan.
Satan was cast out from heaven before Adam was created.
Satan looked right at God. He was around the throne of God. He said to himself, I only have God’s word for it. He stated, I will be like the most High. Isaiah 14: 14: “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” He doubted that God is eternal.
Satan was cast as lightning from heaven. He fell into the polar region. It was not covered with ice the way it is now. Satan corrupted whatever was there. He polluted the pre-adamic civilization.
When you get to heaven, the Lord will explain His plans to you.
Demons are different from fallen angels. They are from the pre-adamic age.
The Lord showed Jeremiah the destruction of the pre-adamic age after Satan’s fall from heaven. The earth was void.
Jeremiah 4: 23 – 25: “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.”
There was never a time since Adam that there was no man. It shows a destruction took place before Adam and Eve were on the earth. It shows Jeremiah was speaking of an age before Adam was created. This period explains the fall of Lucifer; it explains the dinosaur age; it explains the ice age.
True science agrees with the Bible. The earth has been here for millions of years; man since the creation of Adam has been here for 6,000 years. The dinosaurs were not in Noah’s ark. They were of a different age – the pre-adamic age.
Adam, a son of God, was created directly from the hand of God; he was instantaneously created from God. He did not have any father or mother. He was created whole by God. He was created a little lower than the angels. He was a product from God. There was no sin. He was very tender.
After the fall, we have sons of men.
With salvation, we are now sons of God; we have eternal life.
God took the rib and tenderness from Adam and formed the woman.
After the fall, Adam was sorry. Even the animals changed; they became ferocious.
When the church gets in unity, like Adam before the fall, there will be great power among them.
The ice age got rid of the dinosaurs. God had to re-do the earth.
Jesus said I saw Satan fall like lightning. Luke 10: 18: “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven”. It shows the Lord Jesus was not just 30 years old, He is eternal.
As the Lord reveals His mysteries, it will create faith for the translation.
The Lord will send His word and He will heal His people. The flame of the Holy Spirit will move to heal His people. He is the great Physician that will heal and create what you need.
You were dead, but in salvation, you came to life; eternity is with you.
You get converted and you are an eternal creature.
The Lord’s mercies and compassion cannot change.
Lamentations 3: 22 – 23: “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
God is my portion.
The Lord is good to them that wait on Him, they that praise Him.
Habakkuk 3: 2: “O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years”.
Zechariah 10: 1: “Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.”
The Lord’s compassion is eternal; it is infinite; it is pre-determined.
You are foreknown by the Lord, the deep calls the deep.
He will not miss any of His own.
Love the Lord in your heart, love His word.
Cast your burden upon the Lord.
Psalm 27: 13: “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”
You are predestined; destiny is on us.
The glories of the Lord will return at the end of this age.
Psalm 29: 11: “The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.”
God’s promises are all true; they may be delayed, but they are all true.
I started the sermon:
John 15: 13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
You cannot have greater love, you cannot have greater compassion, than the Almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ, coming in flesh and laying down his life for our sins.
Ephesians 1: 7 – 12: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.”
We have redemption through the blood of the Lord Jesus; we have the forgiveness of our sins.
The Lord has “made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself”.
What is the good pleasure that the Lord has purposed in Himself?
The next verse states: “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”.
The “fulness of times” means we are now in eternity; we are now where there is no more time.
The Lord will “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth”.
All those that the Lord has redeemed on this earth, all those to whom by faith the Lord has counted righteousness, will be gathered with Him. This is the good pleasure that the Lord has purposed in himself. We will be to the praise of His glory for eternity.
“The Lord’s compassion is eternal”.
1 John 3: 1 – 2: “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Behold, what manner of love (what manner of compassion) that the Lord God has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God.
The world does not know us, just like it did not know the Lord God Almighty when He was here on earth as the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1: 10: “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”
Through salvation, we are now the “sons of God”, just like Adam was a son of God before he sinned.
It does not yet appear how we will be in our eternal form. However, we know that when our eternal Lord Jesus appears at the time of translation, we shall be changed and “we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Luke 16: 19 – 31: “There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
The Lord Jesus referred to the rich man as a “certain” person. He also referred to Lazarus as a “certain” person.
It shows that the rich man and Lazarus did exist.
The Lord Jesus gave this example to show that it applies to each human being that comes upon this earth.
Each person will have to give an account of himself/herself to the Almighty God. He has already paid the price for our salvation on the cross. The Lord is aware of those that did not have the opportunity to hear about Him while they were on earth, for they will be judged by their conscience (Romans 2: 14 – 15).
Immediately after Lazarus died, he “was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom”, representing paradise.
Immediately after the rich man died, he was in hell. The “rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments”.
The rich man asked Abraham to have mercy on him. It was too late to be asking for mercy. You come to salvation while you are still alive. Also, Abraham was not the person he should be asking for mercy. You ask for mercy, while you are still alive, from the eternal God, the Lord Jesus Christ, for salvation.
The rich man did not want his five brothers joining him in hell. “For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.”
Ephesians 2: 1 – 7: “And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
Before you came to true salvation, you “were” dead in trespasses and sins, you “walked” according to the course of this world, you “had” conversation in times past in the lusts of your flesh and you “were” by nature the child of wrath, even as others who are not saved.
As a result of salvation, your life has now changed.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins,” quickened “us together” with Christ, raised “us up together” and made “us sit together” in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
It was when we were still in sins that the Lord Jesus quickened “us together”, raised “us up together” and made “us sit together” with all those that are still in sins, but who will also come to salvation.
You should feel bold to witness knowing that the Lord Jesus has provided for you what He has also provided for others who are still in sins, but who will be coming to salvation.
Psalm 103: 3: “Who forgiveth all thine iniquities”.
“That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.”
In the ages to come, throughout eternity, we will still be glowing in the eternal salvation that the Almighty God, our Lord Jesus Christ, has given to us.
I read from Scroll # 244:
BEAUTIFUL CITIES – Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars! One day beside the Holy City we will see beautiful cities and places of such wonder of thy creation! Besides the stars and heavens you have created magnificent things that we have not seen! “Beautiful colors of icy wonder like, of spiritual fires and lights of such beauty, and creatures likewise of such formation that we will be amazed and startled by such a creator of so many more things that can not be mentioned and are without number! Such glorious spiritual colors never seen or beheld by man’s eyes!” – Surely and definitely many marvelous mysteries await us that love Him! Literally more than trillions of creations will He unveil to His chosen! – After this was revealed to me I wondered how to unveil it and then I remembered God’s Word that could have to do with the millennium. (Luke 19: 16-19) But also may involve what was told. Nevertheless the elect are in for many surprises that eye hath not seen!
I continued with the Sermon:
This Scroll is like a prayer: “Jesus, you are more than this who created all the beauty around us and the awesome heavens, universes and stars!”
Besides the holy city (the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21: 2 – 3), there are beautiful cities and places of such wonder that we will see.
We will see beautiful colors of icy wonder like; we will see spiritual fires and lights of such beauty; we will see creatures of such formation that we will be amazed; we will see glorious spiritual colors. What the Lord Jesus has created is without number. We will see more than trillions of His creations.
We will be in eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ. What a blessing.
