This sermon by Pastor Barry begins a description of the progress we are making towards Judgement Day. The first section today covers the broad picture of what is involved and a few definitions of terms. The later part gives several examples of how the predicted behaviours of people match what has been foretold in scripture in these days shortly before the “end times” (with particular emphasis on CHURCHES going astray and preaching doctrine contrary to scripture).
PS 1 ::::: The audio file has some moments when the recording was unclear. Efforts have been made to resolve this and the recording has been improved. There are, however, some words that are not unambiguously discernable. These points are greatly aided by (a) following the slides as you listen (one particular word in 1_Corinthians 10v11 is a very good illustration – it is no longer is present in our vocabulary) and (b) consulting the transcript.
PS 2 ::::: There is a “button” labelled “Save Video” (or “Download Video” sometimes). This is actually a text-file. It is a transcript of the sermon. At present it is at an experimental stage: it is an aid to getting the most out of the sermon audio. There is no substitute for listening to the verbal delivery of a sermon. However, searching through an audio file lasting the best part of an hour can be somewhat difficult. When you approach the search knowing that you’re sure you heard something about “redemption”, for example, then a transcript text-search can take you right there and show you the time in the reocrding where you will find it! This transcript is in 2 forms (in the one file). One half consists of bunches of 6 or 7 words beneath the TIMES at which they occur (for the whole sermon). The other is the normal text arrangement of paragraph-blocks.
This facility is in development (“experimental” as mentioned above) so any feedback on usefulness, improvement suggestions, or whatever, would be most welcome.
