I want to start the message with a quiz. What are the four chapters in the Bible in which Satan

and his work is completely and totally absent? Four chapters. Give up? All right. The first two chapters in the book of Genesis and the last two chapters in the book of Revelation.

That is the first two chapters of the Bible and the last two chapters in the Bible. Satan raises his ugly head in Genesis chapter 3

and his harassing and creating havoc

ever since that time until Revelation 20

when he's thrown into the lake of fire.

He hates those two books more than anything else.

You know why?

Because in Genesis, his death sentence has been pronounced,

and in Revelation, his death sentence is carried out. Why on earth do you think that false preachers and false teachers that seem to be on the increase of late say that Genesis is a myth and revelation is a mystery? Because Satan, the source of all falsehood,

Satan wants us to doubt the Word of God, especially the book of Genesis and the book of Revelation.

But God's word is the absolute truth.

have written to me and said that you hate the fact that this series of message is coming to an end.

Well, it's been my ardent prayer. It has been my longing of my heart and a cry to God, that because of the study in the book of Revelation, that you would not view this life the same way ever again, that you have been awakened in your spirit to the fact that this life is but a shadow, that this life is a mere dress rehearsal, that this life is a preparation

for the one to come, that we have placed our complete hope for the real life that is in heaven,

in the new heaven, and the new earth. Amen? That's my prayer. Listen to me, when life gets you down, and it does it to all of us, think of the resurrected body, think of
