Whenever God said, I'm going to judge

and I'm going to bring retribution and vengeance and wrath,

the false prophets would say,

peace, there's coming peace, peace is coming,

have no fear, all as well.

Everything is fine, but there is no peace.

The same satanically inspired false prophets in the future

are going to do exactly what they did in the past.

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

What would you change today if you knew what happens tomorrow?

How about events five or ten years from now?

See why knowing what Scripture says about future events

should change the way you live today as John MacArthur

continues his series called The Rapture and the Day of the Lord.

But before the lesson, John, a lot of our listeners right now

might not realize that you are in the middle of your 55th year

as pastor of Grace Community Church in Los Angeles.

You've been here your entire pastoral ministry 55 years.

So give a little history, talk about what led you to full-time ministry

and what drew you to becoming a pastor teacher.

Well, I think it's sort of in the DNA in my family.
