If firm a foundation,

Ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

If you've ever stood by the casket of someone you love, you felt the sting of death.

Even if that person knew the Lord Jesus, death is still an enemy to mankind.

And praise God for victory in Christ Jesus.

Welcome to Through the Bible, where our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, gives us a picture of what happens after death to those who refuse God's gift of life.

We'll be in Revelation 20 beginning at verse 14. Now this message is really tough to hear, but

gratefully Dr. McGee didn't leave us in the depths. As we make our way to Revelation

Chapter 21, we'll travel to the beautiful heights of heaven. So as you find your seat on the Bible bus, and if you're able, turn to Revelation 20,

I want to share some great letters.

But first, let's listen to Dr. McGee read this one.

Here is indeed a remarkable letter.

It comes from Hillsborough, Oregon, and it says you've commented several times lately that you haven't heard from any truckers

for a while. Well, you're hearing from one right now, and a real fan of yours at that. He drives the

west coast between Seattle and San Diego and often passes over Pasadena.

Don't you ever hear our air horn giving you a cheery greeting?

You be listening now, and at the same time he'll probably have one of your tapes going

on the cassette player in his truck. When he's home

sometimes on weekends and he's trying to get to sleep in a bed for a change from sleeping in the

truck, he'll say, put on one of McGee's tapes. I can't seem to get to sleep and he puts me to sleep every time. Now, that part of it,

I didn't quite appreciate, but I'm glad that we can even put a trucker to sleep, but I hope not at the

wheel. And so we rejoice that we are hearing from our trucker friends.
