  • 00:00:06.955 --> 00:00:08.290
  • Welcome to "all in" with pastor jordan easley.
  • 00:00:08.390 --> 00:00:09.191
  • Today's message is about to begin, and we invite you to
  • 00:00:11.293 --> 00:00:14.263
  • Prepare your heart and mind to hear an inspiring message from
  • 00:00:14.263 --> 00:00:17.332
  • God's word.
  • 00:00:17.332 --> 00:00:18.700
  • We hope and pray for god to speak to you today as you seek
  • 00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:21.336
  • To live your life all in for jesus christ.
  • 00:00:21.336 --> 00:00:24.840
  • And now from first baptist church in cleveland, tennessee,
  • 00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:27.976
  • Here's pastor jordan easley.
  • 00:00:27.976 --> 00:00:31.046
  • Pastor jordan easley: there's coming a day on planet earth
  • 00:00:31.046 --> 00:00:32.781
  • Where people will say, "it's the end of the world as we know it."
  • 00:00:32.781 --> 00:00:37.152
  • You know, last time we were together, we opened god's word,
  • 00:00:37.152 --> 00:00:39.988
  • And we saw a chaotic scene from the future.
  • 00:00:39.988 --> 00:00:43.092
  • If you're just joining us, we're walking through the book of
  • 00:00:43.092 --> 00:00:45.094
  • Revelation, and last time we saw that god will unleash seven
  • 00:00:45.094 --> 00:00:49.865
  • Final judgments upon the earth.
  • 00:00:49.865 --> 00:00:52.367
  • So far in our study, we've seen the sky open up, we've seen the
  • 00:00:52.367 --> 00:00:55.971
  • Church raptured up, and then we were introduced to three
  • 00:00:55.971 --> 00:01:00.576
  • Characters known as the devil, the antichrist, and the
  • 00:01:00.576 --> 00:01:04.012
  • False prophet.
  • 00:01:04.012 --> 00:01:05.514
  • These three characters are going to spearhead and lead a period
  • 00:01:05.514 --> 00:01:08.650
  • Of time on our planet known as the tribulation, which will
  • 00:01:08.650 --> 00:01:12.754
  • Basically be a seven-year nightmare where god is going to
  • 00:01:12.754 --> 00:01:16.091
  • Pour out his judgment on all the people who are left behind after
  • 00:01:16.091 --> 00:01:20.429
  • The church is raptured up.
  • 00:01:20.429 --> 00:01:22.464
  • So, we've seen several judgments so far.
  • 00:01:22.464 --> 00:01:24.800
  • We started with the seven seal judgments, then we talked about
  • 00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:27.836
  • The seven trumpet judgments, and last week we talked about the
  • 00:01:27.836 --> 00:01:30.973
  • Seven bowl judgments.
  • 00:01:30.973 --> 00:01:33.642
  • You say, "why does god judge his people the way that we've read
  • 00:01:33.642 --> 00:01:37.646
  • About in the last couple of weeks?"
  • 00:01:37.646 --> 00:01:39.414
  • Why does god judge his people?
  • 00:01:39.414 --> 00:01:41.450
  • This week i read in 2 peter 3:9, a great explanation why i
  • 00:01:41.450 --> 00:01:45.320
  • Believe he does.
  • 00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:46.688
  • It says, "he's not wanting any to perish, but all to come
  • 00:01:46.688 --> 00:01:49.525
  • To repentance."
  • 00:01:49.525 --> 00:01:50.959
  • In other words, god wants everyone to be saved.
  • 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.630
  • You'll never meet a person whom god does not love.
  • 00:01:54.630 --> 00:01:57.266
  • You'll never meet a person whom jesus did not die for.
  • 00:01:57.266 --> 00:02:00.602
  • No one in this room will ever stand before god and be able to
  • 00:02:00.602 --> 00:02:03.805
  • Say, "god, i really wanted to be saved.
  • 00:02:03.805 --> 00:02:05.841
  • I wanted to be forgiven, but salvation wasn't possible
  • 00:02:05.841 --> 00:02:09.011
  • For me."
  • 00:02:09.011 --> 00:02:10.345
  • See, if you die lost without jesus, it'll be because you
  • 00:02:10.345 --> 00:02:15.050
  • Resisted and fought god all the way to hell.
  • 00:02:15.050 --> 00:02:18.020
  • God wants everyone to be saved.
  • 00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:20.289
  • I don't think that we should shy away from saying that.
  • 00:02:20.289 --> 00:02:23.091
  • He wants everyone to be saved, including you.
  • 00:02:23.091 --> 00:02:25.928
  • That's why jesus came, that's why jesus died, that's why jesus
  • 00:02:25.928 --> 00:02:29.231
  • Arose, and believe it or not, that's why god will one day send
  • 00:02:29.231 --> 00:02:33.402
  • 21 judgments upon the earth.
  • 00:02:33.402 --> 00:02:36.438
  • It'll be to move the hearts of people away from the devil and
  • 00:02:36.438 --> 00:02:40.375
  • Towards himself, and it'll be to give those who are left behind
  • 00:02:40.375 --> 00:02:43.679
  • One last chance to be saved.
  • 00:02:43.679 --> 00:02:47.482
  • Today we're opening up to revelation chapter 17, and that
  • 00:02:47.482 --> 00:02:51.486
  • Is the introduction and chapter 17 is another interlude.
  • 00:02:51.486 --> 00:02:55.090
  • It's another pause in the timeline.
  • 00:02:55.090 --> 00:02:57.793
  • God's gonna call another time out here, and he has something
  • 00:02:57.793 --> 00:03:01.129
  • Important that he wants us to be aware of.
  • 00:03:01.129 --> 00:03:03.665
  • Now i need to let you know before we even jump in today.
  • 00:03:03.665 --> 00:03:06.802
  • Now chapter 17 and chapter 18, in my opinion, are by far the
  • 00:03:06.802 --> 00:03:11.406
  • Most difficult chapters in the entire book of revelation to
  • 00:03:11.406 --> 00:03:15.177
  • Understand and to grasp.
  • 00:03:15.177 --> 00:03:16.878
  • Which also means it's the hardest to hear and understand,
  • 00:03:16.878 --> 00:03:19.915
  • And it is by far the hardest to teach.
  • 00:03:19.915 --> 00:03:22.851
  • And so today, i'm just gonna let you know, i'm about to hit you
  • 00:03:22.851 --> 00:03:25.854
  • In the mouth with a whole bunch, all right?
  • 00:03:25.854 --> 00:03:28.257
  • So, buckle up and lean in.
  • 00:03:28.257 --> 00:03:29.925
  • If you're not a note taker, you better be one today or you're
  • 00:03:29.925 --> 00:03:32.761
  • Gonna be lost in about ten minutes.
  • 00:03:32.761 --> 00:03:35.430
  • But i promise you i'm gonna do my best to work through the text
  • 00:03:35.430 --> 00:03:37.933
  • And explain what the word of god wants us to know about the
  • 00:03:37.933 --> 00:03:41.570
  • Coming days, okay?
  • 00:03:41.570 --> 00:03:43.238
  • So, if you're with me, say amen.
  • 00:03:43.238 --> 00:03:45.040
  • And let's read this thing together.
  • 00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.508
  • Chapter 17, verse 1 says, "then one of the seven angels who had
  • 00:03:46.508 --> 00:03:50.145
  • The seven bowls came and spoke with me, 'come, i will show you
  • 00:03:50.145 --> 00:03:55.917
  • The judgment of the notorious prostitute,"' you're like, "all
  • 00:03:55.917 --> 00:04:00.322
  • Right man, here we go.
  • 00:04:00.322 --> 00:04:01.690
  • We're talking about prostitutes in verse 1, here we go."
  • 00:04:01.690 --> 00:04:04.359
  • I'm gonna give you a simple outline to follow today.
  • 00:04:04.359 --> 00:04:07.062
  • So, if you're taking notes, first thing i want you to see is
  • 00:04:07.062 --> 00:04:09.097
  • The description of the notorious prostitute.
  • 00:04:09.097 --> 00:04:11.867
  • Remember right here, john is speaking, and he's relaying a
  • 00:04:11.867 --> 00:04:14.970
  • Vision that the lord is giving him.
  • 00:04:14.970 --> 00:04:17.172
  • He's already revealed 21 judgments, and those judgments
  • 00:04:17.172 --> 00:04:20.742
  • Have now passed.
  • 00:04:20.742 --> 00:04:22.077
  • But now he's looking at one of those angels who just poured out
  • 00:04:22.077 --> 00:04:25.647
  • That bowl of judgment upon the earth, and the angel says, "hey,
  • 00:04:25.647 --> 00:04:29.484
  • Come with me.
  • 00:04:29.484 --> 00:04:30.852
  • I need to show you how god is gonna judge this
  • 00:04:30.852 --> 00:04:33.088
  • Notorious prostitute."
  • 00:04:33.088 --> 00:04:35.791
  • You say, "jordan, who is a notorious prostitute?"
  • 00:04:35.791 --> 00:04:39.094
  • That's a good question to ask.
  • 00:04:39.094 --> 00:04:40.462
  • That's where we're gonna start today.
  • 00:04:40.462 --> 00:04:41.797
  • Who is the notorious prostitute?
  • 00:04:41.797 --> 00:04:44.099
  • When you read verse 5, it kind of gives us a pretty good clue
  • 00:04:44.099 --> 00:04:47.135
  • As to who she is because it tells us that the prostitute in
  • 00:04:47.135 --> 00:04:50.972
  • This passage is wearing a name tag.
  • 00:04:50.972 --> 00:04:53.308
  • Check it out.
  • 00:04:53.308 --> 00:04:54.643
  • "on her forehead was written a name, a mystery: 'babylon the
  • 00:04:54.643 --> 00:04:59.181
  • Great, the mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of
  • 00:04:59.181 --> 00:05:03.185
  • The earth."'
  • 00:05:03.185 --> 00:05:04.519
  • By the way, in john's time, prostitutes identified
  • 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.622
  • Themselves in the community by writing something that said
  • 00:05:07.622 --> 00:05:10.692
  • Prostitute on their head.
  • 00:05:10.692 --> 00:05:12.394
  • You're like, "man, that is crazy.
  • 00:05:12.394 --> 00:05:13.762
  • I can't imagine living in a world where that was the case."
  • 00:05:13.762 --> 00:05:17.065
  • But believe it or not, in american history, if you go back
  • 00:05:17.065 --> 00:05:20.035
  • In our own nation about 200 years ago, prostitutes did the
  • 00:05:20.035 --> 00:05:23.939
  • Same thing here.
  • 00:05:23.939 --> 00:05:25.307
  • They put something on their head to identify themselves as
  • 00:05:25.307 --> 00:05:28.276
  • A prostitute.
  • 00:05:28.276 --> 00:05:29.611
  • So, it's not totally weird that this prostitute in chapter 17
  • 00:05:29.611 --> 00:05:33.582
  • Will have something written on her forehead.
  • 00:05:33.582 --> 00:05:36.051
  • Now what will be written?
  • 00:05:36.051 --> 00:05:37.419
  • The bible says this, "babylon the great."
  • 00:05:37.419 --> 00:05:41.323
  • But the question is why?
  • 00:05:41.323 --> 00:05:43.692
  • That word babylon, i believe is a code word.
  • 00:05:43.692 --> 00:05:47.396
  • It's a word that's meant to symbolize something else.
  • 00:05:47.396 --> 00:05:50.832
  • There's a lot of words that communicate messages like a
  • 00:05:50.832 --> 00:05:53.969
  • Code word.
  • 00:05:53.969 --> 00:05:55.337
  • For instance, if i said vegas, what would you think of?
  • 00:05:55.337 --> 00:05:58.907
  • Gambling, sin city, the strip, all the grossness of the
  • 00:05:58.907 --> 00:06:02.344
  • World, right?
  • 00:06:02.344 --> 00:06:03.712
  • Vegas.
  • 00:06:03.712 --> 00:06:05.046
  • If i said destin, what do you think of?
  • 00:06:05.046 --> 00:06:07.416
  • Say it out loud.
  • 00:06:07.416 --> 00:06:08.950
  • The beach, right?
  • 00:06:08.950 --> 00:06:10.419
  • If i were to say hollywood, you most likely think of movie stars
  • 00:06:10.419 --> 00:06:15.290
  • And fame and fortune.
  • 00:06:15.290 --> 00:06:17.058
  • There are certain words and there's certain locations that
  • 00:06:17.058 --> 00:06:20.462
  • Conjure up certain thoughts or certain feelings.
  • 00:06:20.462 --> 00:06:23.231
  • So right here, when you read the word babylon, i want you to
  • 00:06:23.231 --> 00:06:26.201
  • Understand that's a code word that was meant to point them to
  • 00:06:26.201 --> 00:06:29.871
  • Something else.
  • 00:06:29.871 --> 00:06:31.206
  • That word babylon, it communicated something in
  • 00:06:31.206 --> 00:06:33.742
  • That day.
  • 00:06:33.742 --> 00:06:35.076
  • In fact, it has communicated something all the way back to
  • 00:06:35.076 --> 00:06:37.879
  • Genesis chapter 10.
  • 00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.382
  • The word babylon, in that word, you see the word babel.
  • 00:06:40.382 --> 00:06:43.885
  • That word babel literally means the gate of god.
  • 00:06:43.885 --> 00:06:47.823
  • That's what babel means.
  • 00:06:47.823 --> 00:06:49.357
  • If you remember in babylon, they tried to make their own gate
  • 00:06:49.357 --> 00:06:52.027
  • To god.
  • 00:06:52.027 --> 00:06:53.395
  • Remember the tower of babel?
  • 00:06:53.395 --> 00:06:54.729
  • That tower stood for everything that god stood against.
  • 00:06:54.729 --> 00:06:57.966
  • It was their rejection of god's way to heaven.
  • 00:06:57.966 --> 00:07:00.602
  • They're like, "no, no, no, we make our own way to heaven."
  • 00:07:00.602 --> 00:07:04.339
  • The spirit of the babylonians was one that said, "we've got to
  • 00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:07.576
  • Dethrone god, and we have to elevate man.
  • 00:07:07.576 --> 00:07:11.079
  • We've got to humanize god, and we have to deify man."
  • 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.283
  • These were people trying to make their own way to god, and that
  • 00:07:15.283 --> 00:07:18.220
  • Was the agenda of the ancient babylonians.
  • 00:07:18.220 --> 00:07:21.022
  • But right here, what we see in this notorious prostitute is
  • 00:07:21.022 --> 00:07:24.926
  • That she will also have that same agenda.
  • 00:07:24.926 --> 00:07:28.697
  • And so, in the future tribulation, this prostitute
  • 00:07:28.697 --> 00:07:31.733
  • Will offer a way to heaven without going through god.
  • 00:07:31.733 --> 00:07:36.605
  • So, the question is, who is she?
  • 00:07:36.605 --> 00:07:39.174
  • Who is this notorious prostitute?
  • 00:07:39.174 --> 00:07:41.910
  • Well, if you're jotting down notes today, i want you to
  • 00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:43.845
  • Write this.
  • 00:07:43.845 --> 00:07:45.213
  • The notorious prostitute in john's vision is none other than
  • 00:07:45.213 --> 00:07:48.283
  • The devil's church, the devil's church.
  • 00:07:48.283 --> 00:07:52.053
  • It's a church that will be led by the false prophet during the
  • 00:07:52.053 --> 00:07:55.457
  • Seven years of tribulation.
  • 00:07:55.457 --> 00:07:57.459
  • And what will this prostitute be doing?
  • 00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:59.861
  • Well, keep reading in verse one.
  • 00:07:59.861 --> 00:08:01.930
  • It says, "come, i will show you the judgment of the notorious
  • 00:08:01.930 --> 00:08:04.633
  • Prostitute who is seated on many waters."
  • 00:08:04.633 --> 00:08:09.037
  • So, you got the church, the devil's church, sitting
  • 00:08:09.037 --> 00:08:12.173
  • On waters.
  • 00:08:12.173 --> 00:08:13.508
  • What does that mean?
  • 00:08:13.508 --> 00:08:14.876
  • Well, let's go to verse 15, and it talks about the waters again.
  • 00:08:14.876 --> 00:08:17.712
  • It says, "he also said to me, 'the waters you saw, where the
  • 00:08:17.712 --> 00:08:21.082
  • Prostitute was seated, are peoples, multitudes, nations,
  • 00:08:21.082 --> 00:08:25.954
  • And languages.'"
  • 00:08:25.954 --> 00:08:27.422
  • So, let's wrap all that information together, and what
  • 00:08:27.422 --> 00:08:29.891
  • Is the picture that we see?
  • 00:08:29.891 --> 00:08:31.960
  • Right here, it tells us the devil's church will be seated on
  • 00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.530
  • Or ruling all of the people who are alive during the
  • 00:08:35.530 --> 00:08:39.000
  • Tribulation period.
  • 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.702
  • The bible says in that day, everybody and anybody that is
  • 00:08:40.702 --> 00:08:44.239
  • Somebody is going to join this one world church.
  • 00:08:44.239 --> 00:08:48.343
  • You get it?
  • 00:08:48.343 --> 00:08:49.711
  • One world church.
  • 00:08:49.711 --> 00:08:51.046
  • Every nation, every tribe, every tongue, every people group,
  • 00:08:51.046 --> 00:08:54.282
  • They're all gonna be a part of this one world religion.
  • 00:08:54.282 --> 00:08:58.119
  • That's gonna happen in the future.
  • 00:08:58.119 --> 00:09:00.055
  • Denominations will cease to exist.
  • 00:09:00.055 --> 00:09:02.824
  • Religious liberty and religious freedom will be a thing of
  • 00:09:02.824 --> 00:09:05.193
  • The past.
  • 00:09:05.193 --> 00:09:06.528
  • There will be one big old church empowered and directed by the
  • 00:09:06.528 --> 00:09:10.198
  • Devil himself, and everyone in the world will be forced to join
  • 00:09:10.198 --> 00:09:15.904
  • The church.
  • 00:09:15.904 --> 00:09:17.339
  • But when you think about it, it won't be a church at all.
  • 00:09:17.339 --> 00:09:21.443
  • Hey, the church belongs to jesus, right?
  • 00:09:21.443 --> 00:09:25.080
  • The church is his.
  • 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:26.581
  • In fact, in matthew chapter 16, verse 18, jesus said, "on this
  • 00:09:26.581 --> 00:09:30.418
  • Rock i will build my church."
  • 00:09:30.418 --> 00:09:33.455
  • And by the way, the rock he's referencing there, it's not the
  • 00:09:33.455 --> 00:09:36.191
  • Small pebble of peter, it is the strong foundation of jesus.
  • 00:09:36.191 --> 00:09:39.728
  • And so, the church is built on his foundation.
  • 00:09:39.728 --> 00:09:41.896
  • The church belongs to him.
  • 00:09:41.896 --> 00:09:44.132
  • And he goes on talking about his church, and this is what he
  • 00:09:44.132 --> 00:09:46.635
  • Says, he says, "and the gates of hades will not overpower
  • 00:09:46.635 --> 00:09:51.139
  • My church."
  • 00:09:51.139 --> 00:09:53.274
  • In revelation 17, when it talks about this one world church,
  • 00:09:53.274 --> 00:09:56.845
  • It's not his church.
  • 00:09:56.845 --> 00:09:58.446
  • It will be a church built on the gates of hades.
  • 00:09:58.446 --> 00:10:01.483
  • It'll be a unified worldwide congregation that will be 100%
  • 00:10:01.483 --> 00:10:06.821
  • Anti-god, anti-jesus, anti-bible.
  • 00:10:06.821 --> 00:10:10.892
  • In fact, i wanna call it the anti-church led by
  • 00:10:10.892 --> 00:10:13.662
  • The anti-christ.
  • 00:10:13.662 --> 00:10:15.530
  • So, when you see the word prostitute, don't think of a
  • 00:10:15.530 --> 00:10:18.099
  • Prostitute, think this will be the devil's church that he will
  • 00:10:18.099 --> 00:10:21.670
  • Lead, and he's leading people away from god.
  • 00:10:21.670 --> 00:10:25.774
  • Verse 2 goes on to say this--it says that, "the kings of the
  • 00:10:25.774 --> 00:10:30.145
  • Earth committed sexual immorality with her, and those
  • 00:10:30.145 --> 00:10:33.281
  • Who live on the earth become drunk on the wine of her
  • 00:10:33.281 --> 00:10:36.117
  • Sexual immorality."
  • 00:10:36.117 --> 00:10:37.719
  • The king's right here, they represent the different forms
  • 00:10:37.719 --> 00:10:40.088
  • And different heads of government.
  • 00:10:40.088 --> 00:10:41.990
  • And so, this picture he's giving us says that there will be an
  • 00:10:41.990 --> 00:10:45.093
  • Unholy union that takes place between the church and the state
  • 00:10:45.093 --> 00:10:51.032
  • Prior to the second coming of christ.
  • 00:10:51.032 --> 00:10:53.334
  • So, the heads of government, it shows them as being in bed with
  • 00:10:53.334 --> 00:10:58.106
  • The church.
  • 00:10:58.106 --> 00:10:59.474
  • Today in america, we love to talk about the separation
  • 00:10:59.474 --> 00:11:02.310
  • Between church and state as if there's a wall in america
  • 00:11:02.310 --> 00:11:05.714
  • Separating the church and the state.
  • 00:11:05.714 --> 00:11:08.149
  • Well, according to scripture, there's coming a day where that
  • 00:11:08.149 --> 00:11:11.720
  • Wall is going to collapse, and when it does, it's gonna pave
  • 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.524
  • The way for unification between the church and the state, not
  • 00:11:16.524 --> 00:11:20.662
  • Just here, but literally all over the world.
  • 00:11:20.662 --> 00:11:23.798
  • And the bible says this prostitute, the devil's church,
  • 00:11:23.798 --> 00:11:27.569
  • Is going to join herself with the beast.
  • 00:11:27.569 --> 00:11:31.940
  • So, you ask the question, "well, who exactly is the beast?"
  • 00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:36.177
  • That's what we're gonna see next in verse 3.
  • 00:11:36.177 --> 00:11:38.146
  • It says, "then he,"
  • 00:11:38.146 --> 00:11:39.481
  • Talking about this angel, "then he carried me away in the spirit
  • 00:11:39.481 --> 00:11:44.352
  • To a wilderness," and he says, "i saw a woman sitting on a
  • 00:11:44.352 --> 00:11:48.723
  • Scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names, and had
  • 00:11:48.723 --> 00:11:52.494
  • Seven heads and ten horns."
  • 00:11:52.494 --> 00:11:55.430
  • Now we've already seen the description of the
  • 00:11:55.430 --> 00:11:57.065
  • Notorious prostitute.
  • 00:11:57.065 --> 00:11:58.767
  • Next, i want you to see the definition of the beast.
  • 00:11:58.767 --> 00:12:01.970
  • We gotta know who the beast is.
  • 00:12:01.970 --> 00:12:03.872
  • The scarlet beast is what he was called, and this scarlet beast
  • 00:12:03.872 --> 00:12:07.876
  • Is obviously the same beast that we saw back in revelation
  • 00:12:07.876 --> 00:12:10.612
  • Chapter 13.
  • 00:12:10.612 --> 00:12:12.447
  • He's got the same description.
  • 00:12:12.447 --> 00:12:13.782
  • He's red in color, he has blasphemous names all over his
  • 00:12:13.782 --> 00:12:18.453
  • Body, he's got seven heads, he has ten horns.
  • 00:12:18.453 --> 00:12:21.756
  • And so, i want us to understand that this beast represents the
  • 00:12:21.756 --> 00:12:26.361
  • Coming world empire.
  • 00:12:26.361 --> 00:12:28.830
  • This government that will be led by the devil, and it will be one
  • 00:12:28.830 --> 00:12:33.301
  • That opposes god and jesus christ in every way possible.
  • 00:12:33.301 --> 00:12:37.172
  • Get this picture in your mind today.
  • 00:12:37.172 --> 00:12:39.040
  • Verse 3 just told us that this prostitute will be sitting on
  • 00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:43.011
  • Top of the scarlet beast, which is interesting, right?
  • 00:12:43.011 --> 00:12:46.948
  • That phrase, it speaks symbolically of the commitment
  • 00:12:46.948 --> 00:12:49.951
  • That will take place between the church and the government.
  • 00:12:49.951 --> 00:12:54.022
  • And it shows that they will be married at this point in the
  • 00:12:54.022 --> 00:12:58.326
  • Story, but it also tells us a little bit about the
  • 00:12:58.326 --> 00:13:01.162
  • Relationship because it says the church will actually be sitting
  • 00:13:01.162 --> 00:13:04.866
  • On top of the beast.
  • 00:13:04.866 --> 00:13:07.702
  • And this beast has 7 heads and 10 horns and has blasphemous
  • 00:13:07.702 --> 00:13:11.372
  • Names tattooed all over its body.
  • 00:13:11.372 --> 00:13:14.175
  • So, what is up with the symbolism?
  • 00:13:14.175 --> 00:13:16.311
  • Let's keep reading, verse 7, "then the angel said to me, 'why
  • 00:13:16.311 --> 00:13:19.013
  • Are you astonished?
  • 00:13:19.013 --> 00:13:20.348
  • I will explain to you the mystery of this woman, and of
  • 00:13:20.348 --> 00:13:23.451
  • The beast with the seven heads and the ten horns that
  • 00:13:23.451 --> 00:13:26.454
  • Carries her.'"
  • 00:13:26.454 --> 00:13:27.789
  • So thankfully, we're going to get an explanation here.
  • 00:13:27.789 --> 00:13:31.759
  • Now we know from previous weeks that the seven heads
  • 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.796
  • Represent what?
  • 00:13:34.796 --> 00:13:36.164
  • The seven kingdoms, the seven kingdoms of the earth.
  • 00:13:36.164 --> 00:13:40.802
  • Well what else can we learn from the description?
  • 00:13:40.802 --> 00:13:43.171
  • Keep reading in verse 9, it says, "the seven heads are seven
  • 00:13:43.171 --> 00:13:46.741
  • Mountains on which the woman is seated."
  • 00:13:46.741 --> 00:13:49.711
  • And so, without making this too confusing, this says that the
  • 00:13:49.711 --> 00:13:52.280
  • Beast that has seven heads will be located where?
  • 00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:57.418
  • It'll be located at the place of seven mountains, the bible says.
  • 00:13:57.418 --> 00:14:01.389
  • Do you know where that is?
  • 00:14:01.389 --> 00:14:03.124
  • It's in the city of rome.
  • 00:14:03.124 --> 00:14:05.360
  • Rome is the city built on seven hills.
  • 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.363
  • And so, all of that to say that this one world church is going
  • 00:14:08.363 --> 00:14:12.533
  • To be headquartered in the city of rome.
  • 00:14:12.533 --> 00:14:15.803
  • And when that happens, the roman empire is going to be revived
  • 00:14:15.803 --> 00:14:19.874
  • And rebuilt.
  • 00:14:19.874 --> 00:14:21.409
  • See, in that day, there will be a one world government on the
  • 00:14:21.409 --> 00:14:23.912
  • Earth, that's the devil's government, and there will be a
  • 00:14:23.912 --> 00:14:26.915
  • One world church, that's the devil's church.
  • 00:14:26.915 --> 00:14:30.184
  • And in that day, the church will be sitting on top of the
  • 00:14:30.184 --> 00:14:33.288
  • Government, and the church will be calling the shots.
  • 00:14:33.288 --> 00:14:36.925
  • Verse 9 goes on to say, "there will also be seven kings."
  • 00:14:36.925 --> 00:14:40.395
  • Now this is where you're just like, "what?
  • 00:14:40.395 --> 00:14:42.630
  • So much symbolism."
  • 00:14:42.630 --> 00:14:44.332
  • But we know that those kings represent the seven
  • 00:14:44.332 --> 00:14:46.501
  • Kingdoms, right?
  • 00:14:46.501 --> 00:14:47.869
  • So, you have seven worldwide empires led by seven worldwide
  • 00:14:47.869 --> 00:14:51.539
  • Dictators or leaders, and those kings are who that's speaking
  • 00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:55.710
  • Of today.
  • 00:14:55.710 --> 00:14:57.045
  • So, when the apostle john wrote this book, this is interesting
  • 00:14:57.045 --> 00:14:59.480
  • To know, there had been five prominent leaders that had
  • 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.885
  • Already fallen.
  • 00:15:03.885 --> 00:15:05.219
  • Think about it.
  • 00:15:05.219 --> 00:15:06.587
  • You start with julius caesar, you've got tiberius, you have
  • 00:15:06.587 --> 00:15:09.657
  • Caligula, you have claudius, and you have nero.
  • 00:15:09.657 --> 00:15:12.794
  • Five prominent leaders had already fallen.
  • 00:15:12.794 --> 00:15:15.930
  • When john was writing this book, the emperor domitian was sitting
  • 00:15:15.930 --> 00:15:19.500
  • On the throne and he was currently in power.
  • 00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:22.170
  • And so, with that in mind, i want us to read verse 10 and
  • 00:15:22.170 --> 00:15:25.640
  • Really unpack what it's trying to say.
  • 00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:27.508
  • Verse 10 says this, "five have fallen."
  • 00:15:27.508 --> 00:15:30.478
  • What's it talking about?
  • 00:15:30.478 --> 00:15:31.813
  • It's talking about those five prominent leaders.
  • 00:15:31.813 --> 00:15:33.715
  • Julius caesar, all the way to nero, all five of them
  • 00:15:33.715 --> 00:15:37.051
  • Had fallen.
  • 00:15:37.051 --> 00:15:38.386
  • It goes on to say, "and one is."
  • 00:15:38.386 --> 00:15:40.989
  • Who's the one?
  • 00:15:40.989 --> 00:15:42.357
  • That's domitian.
  • 00:15:42.357 --> 00:15:43.691
  • Domitian is number six, but it goes on to say, "the other has
  • 00:15:43.691 --> 00:15:47.595
  • Not yet come."
  • 00:15:47.595 --> 00:15:48.930
  • It's talking about the seventh worldwide leader here.
  • 00:15:48.930 --> 00:15:51.532
  • Who will the seventh worldwide leader be?
  • 00:15:51.532 --> 00:15:54.235
  • The antichrist.
  • 00:15:54.235 --> 00:15:55.870
  • The antichrist will be number seven.
  • 00:15:55.870 --> 00:15:58.172
  • "and when he comes," the bible says, "he must remain for only a
  • 00:15:58.172 --> 00:16:03.344
  • Little while."
  • 00:16:03.344 --> 00:16:04.679
  • See, the antichrist will be the last emperor of this revived
  • 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.549
  • Roman empire, and you ask the question, "well, how?
  • 00:16:08.549 --> 00:16:11.452
  • How will all this happen?
  • 00:16:11.452 --> 00:16:13.154
  • How will he come into power?
  • 00:16:13.154 --> 00:16:14.589
  • Why will people choose to follow him?
  • 00:16:14.589 --> 00:16:16.257
  • How will he become a worldwide dictator?"
  • 00:16:16.257 --> 00:16:18.893
  • And if you're asking that question, guess what?
  • 00:16:18.893 --> 00:16:20.895
  • Verse 8 is going to answer it.
  • 00:16:20.895 --> 00:16:23.231
  • It says, "the beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to
  • 00:16:23.231 --> 00:16:28.002
  • Come up from the abyss and go to destruction.
  • 00:16:28.002 --> 00:16:31.472
  • Those who live on the earth whose names have not been
  • 00:16:31.472 --> 00:16:34.008
  • Written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will
  • 00:16:34.008 --> 00:16:37.111
  • Be astonished when they see the beast that was and is not and is
  • 00:16:37.111 --> 00:16:43.484
  • To come."
  • 00:16:43.484 --> 00:16:44.852
  • And we're gonna unpack that together, okay?
  • 00:16:44.852 --> 00:16:46.821
  • But we just talked about this a couple of weeks ago in
  • 00:16:46.821 --> 00:16:49.390
  • Chapter 13.
  • 00:16:49.390 --> 00:16:50.725
  • Remember?
  • 00:16:50.725 --> 00:16:52.093
  • We saw that the beast, he will come as a worldwide dictator and
  • 00:16:52.093 --> 00:16:56.631
  • He's gonna reign for a short period of time, but then what's
  • 00:16:56.631 --> 00:17:00.168
  • Gonna happen?
  • 00:17:00.168 --> 00:17:01.502
  • He's gonna be killed.
  • 00:17:01.502 --> 00:17:03.704
  • The bible says he will be mortally wounded in one of his
  • 00:17:03.704 --> 00:17:06.607
  • Heads, but then he will what?
  • 00:17:06.607 --> 00:17:08.843
  • He will replicate the resurrection of jesus, and he
  • 00:17:08.843 --> 00:17:11.679
  • Will miraculously appear to rise from the dead.
  • 00:17:11.679 --> 00:17:15.316
  • And scripture tells us that this so-called miracle is going to
  • 00:17:15.316 --> 00:17:19.053
  • Deceive the entire world, and they will follow him because
  • 00:17:19.053 --> 00:17:23.091
  • They're blown away by what has happened.
  • 00:17:23.091 --> 00:17:25.626
  • Now, that in turn explains what you read in verse 11.
  • 00:17:25.626 --> 00:17:30.431
  • Let's read this slowly.
  • 00:17:30.431 --> 00:17:31.799
  • It says, "the beast that was and is not, is itself an eighth king
  • 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:39.140
  • But it belongs to the seven, and is going to destruction."
  • 00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:44.645
  • Well, i want to submit to you today that the true great
  • 00:17:44.645 --> 00:17:47.014
  • Depression hasn't happened yet, but it's still yet to come.
  • 00:17:47.014 --> 00:17:52.220
  • In fact, the first great depression, we saw the collapse
  • 00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:54.622
  • Of one nation's economy, but in the second great depression, the
  • 00:17:54.622 --> 00:17:58.359
  • Bible tells us the entire world economy is gonna come to a
  • 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.496
  • Collapse and everything is gonna fall apart.
  • 00:18:01.496 --> 00:18:04.599
  • Hey, john tells us in this book about three groups of people who
  • 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:08.369
  • Will be directly affected by this.
  • 00:18:08.369 --> 00:18:09.971
  • And it says their sorrows and their cries are gonna be heard
  • 00:18:09.971 --> 00:18:12.673
  • From one side of the earth to the other.
  • 00:18:12.673 --> 00:18:15.910
  • You say, "who are those three groups of people?"
  • 00:18:15.910 --> 00:18:18.212
  • I want you to jot these down.
  • 00:18:18.212 --> 00:18:19.580
  • The first one is the monarchs.
  • 00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:21.182
  • The monarchs and the kings and the world leaders of that day.
  • 00:18:21.182 --> 00:18:24.485
  • It says, "they will one day see everything that they worked hard
  • 00:18:24.485 --> 00:18:27.121
  • To build, everything that they have put their hopes and dreams
  • 00:18:27.121 --> 00:18:29.690
  • In, all of those things will go up in smoke."
  • 00:18:29.690 --> 00:18:32.927
  • And the bible says, "when that happens, they will weep and they
  • 00:18:32.927 --> 00:18:35.796
  • Will mourn and their cries will be heard all over the world."
  • 00:18:35.796 --> 00:18:39.534
  • "the kings of the earth," verse 9 says, "who have committed
  • 00:18:39.534 --> 00:18:42.069
  • Sexual immorality and shared her sensual and excessive ways, will
  • 00:18:42.069 --> 00:18:46.073
  • Weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke from
  • 00:18:46.073 --> 00:18:49.510
  • Her burning.
  • 00:18:49.510 --> 00:18:50.845
  • They will stand far off in fear of her torment, saying, 'whoa,
  • 00:18:50.845 --> 00:18:54.382
  • Whoa, the great city, babylon!
  • 00:18:54.382 --> 00:18:57.218
  • The mighty city.
  • 00:18:57.218 --> 00:18:58.853
  • For in a single hour your judgment has come.'"
  • 00:18:58.853 --> 00:19:02.256
  • Everything they worked for, everything they sold their soul
  • 00:19:02.256 --> 00:19:04.792
  • For will go up in smoke.
  • 00:19:04.792 --> 00:19:06.894
  • That's the monarchs.
  • 00:19:06.894 --> 00:19:08.262
  • The second group will be the merchants.
  • 00:19:08.262 --> 00:19:10.231
  • Verse 11 says, "the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn
  • 00:19:10.231 --> 00:19:13.334
  • Over her, because no one buys their cargo any longer."
  • 00:19:13.334 --> 00:19:17.371
  • Get that picture, warehouses full of stuff that they
  • 00:19:17.371 --> 00:19:20.141
  • Can't sell.
  • 00:19:20.141 --> 00:19:21.475
  • And this says, "when those warehouses are full, there will
  • 00:19:21.475 --> 00:19:23.711
  • Be weeping and there will be mourning."
  • 00:19:23.711 --> 00:19:26.180
  • Verse 14 says, "the fruit you craved has left you, and your
  • 00:19:26.180 --> 00:19:30.251
  • Splendid and glamorous things are gone."
  • 00:19:30.251 --> 00:19:32.620
  • They will never find them again.
  • 00:19:32.620 --> 00:19:35.156
  • I mean, he explained it perfectly.
  • 00:19:35.156 --> 00:19:37.592
  • He said, "everything from the fruit stand that you visit to
  • 00:19:37.592 --> 00:19:40.795
  • The louis vuitton stores in the mall, they're all gonna be
  • 00:19:40.795 --> 00:19:45.166
  • Empty, and it's gonna affect the merchants."
  • 00:19:45.166 --> 00:19:47.235
  • He goes on to give one more group, and that's the mariners.
  • 00:19:47.235 --> 00:19:50.004
  • The mariners will be affected.
  • 00:19:50.004 --> 00:19:51.339
  • Verse 17, "for in a single hour such fabulous wealth
  • 00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:55.476
  • Was destroyed.
  • 00:19:55.476 --> 00:19:56.844
  • And every ship master, seafarer, the sailors and all who do
  • 00:19:56.844 --> 00:20:00.414
  • Business by sea, stood far off as they watched the smoke from
  • 00:20:00.414 --> 00:20:04.318
  • Her burning and kept crying out, 'who was like the great city?'
  • 00:20:04.318 --> 00:20:08.522
  • They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping
  • 00:20:08.522 --> 00:20:11.392
  • And mourning.
  • 00:20:11.392 --> 00:20:12.760
  • 'whoa, whoa, the great city where all those who have ships
  • 00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:15.763
  • On the sea became rich from her wealth!
  • 00:20:15.763 --> 00:20:18.332
  • For in a single hour she was destroyed.'"
  • 00:20:18.332 --> 00:20:21.002
  • Get that.
  • 00:20:21.002 --> 00:20:22.370
  • All business at this point comes to a standstill, and the flags
  • 00:20:22.370 --> 00:20:26.907
  • On every single ship will fly at half mast.
  • 00:20:26.907 --> 00:20:29.710
  • Why?
  • 00:20:29.710 --> 00:20:31.078
  • Because babylon will officially be dead.
  • 00:20:31.078 --> 00:20:34.115
  • There won't be a need for ships anymore because there's no more
  • 00:20:34.115 --> 00:20:36.684
  • Cargo to load or unload.
  • 00:20:36.684 --> 00:20:38.519
  • The world's economy has completely collapsed and there's
  • 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.756
  • No one left to buy or sell.
  • 00:20:41.756 --> 00:20:44.158
  • And don't forget, this is all a part of the build up to god's
  • 00:20:44.158 --> 00:20:48.195
  • Great victory.
  • 00:20:48.195 --> 00:20:49.530
  • Verse 20 it says, "rejoice over her heaven, and you saints,
  • 00:20:49.530 --> 00:20:53.868
  • Apostles, and prophets, because god has pronounced on her the
  • 00:20:53.868 --> 00:20:58.039
  • Judgment she passed on you.
  • 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.408
  • And then a mighty angel picked up a stone like a large
  • 00:21:00.408 --> 00:21:03.577
  • Millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 'in this way,
  • 00:21:03.577 --> 00:21:07.682
  • Babylon the great city will be thrown down violently and never
  • 00:21:07.682 --> 00:21:12.219
  • Be found again.'"
  • 00:21:12.219 --> 00:21:14.555
  • The bible goes on to say, "there will be no more music."
  • 00:21:14.555 --> 00:21:17.224
  • Verse 22 says, "the sound of harpists, musicians, flutists,
  • 00:21:17.224 --> 00:21:20.695
  • And trumpeters will never be heard in you again."
  • 00:21:20.695 --> 00:21:23.931
  • You say, "man, that's random."
  • 00:21:23.931 --> 00:21:25.299
  • It is.
  • 00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:26.634
  • But at this point, i think god is just sick of listening to all
  • 00:21:26.634 --> 00:21:28.936
  • The vulgar music that this world has to offer that dishonors him.
  • 00:21:28.936 --> 00:21:32.940
  • And so, what's he gonna do in the future?
  • 00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:34.842
  • The bible says he's gonna put a permanent muzzle on the music of
  • 00:21:34.842 --> 00:21:37.978
  • The world.
  • 00:21:37.978 --> 00:21:39.347
  • Not only that, there will be no more manufacturing.
  • 00:21:39.347 --> 00:21:41.615
  • Keep reading in verse 22, "no craftsmen of any trade will ever
  • 00:21:41.615 --> 00:21:45.086
  • Be found in you again.
  • 00:21:45.086 --> 00:21:46.420
  • The sound of a mill will never be heard in you again."
  • 00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:49.357
  • Once again, we see industries shut down and machines no longer
  • 00:21:49.357 --> 00:21:52.693
  • In operation, and factories will be silent.
  • 00:21:52.693 --> 00:21:55.796
  • But let me give you one more random statement.
  • 00:21:55.796 --> 00:21:57.465
  • You ready?
  • 00:21:57.465 --> 00:21:58.833
  • The next one says, "there will also be no more marriage."
  • 00:21:58.833 --> 00:22:00.868
  • No more marriage.
  • 00:22:00.868 --> 00:22:02.236
  • Verse 23, "the light of a lamp will never shine in you again,
  • 00:22:02.236 --> 00:22:05.272
  • And the voice of a groom and bride will never be heard in
  • 00:22:05.272 --> 00:22:09.210
  • You again."
  • 00:22:09.210 --> 00:22:10.544
  • When i read that, i was like, "what is that all about?"
  • 00:22:10.544 --> 00:22:13.180
  • But you know what?
  • 00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:14.548
  • Weddings are known as a day of happiness, a day of glee, but
  • 00:22:14.548 --> 00:22:18.586
  • When you read about this particular time, this won't be a
  • 00:22:18.586 --> 00:22:22.022
  • Time of glee.
  • 00:22:22.022 --> 00:22:23.391
  • This is gonna be a day of grief, a day of gloom.
  • 00:22:23.391 --> 00:22:26.060
  • And the world's gonna weep throughout the night, and the
  • 00:22:26.060 --> 00:22:28.329
  • Bible says there won't be any joy in the morning, right?
  • 00:22:28.329 --> 00:22:32.600
  • Why is that?
  • 00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:34.568
  • Because this world as we know it will be no more.
  • 00:22:34.568 --> 00:22:38.406
  • See, for the longest time, planet earth has been the
  • 00:22:38.406 --> 00:22:40.641
  • Devil's domain.
  • 00:22:40.641 --> 00:22:42.309
  • There are many places in your bible where jesus calls the
  • 00:22:42.309 --> 00:22:44.445
  • Devil the ruler of this world.
  • 00:22:44.445 --> 00:22:47.181
  • But don't forget what we read jesus say in john chapter 12.
  • 00:22:47.181 --> 00:22:50.050
  • What does he say?
  • 00:22:50.050 --> 00:22:51.419
  • "now is the judgment of this world, and now the ruler of this
  • 00:22:51.419 --> 00:22:55.322
  • World will be cast out."
  • 00:22:55.322 --> 00:22:58.426
  • Hey, get this today.
  • 00:22:58.426 --> 00:22:59.794
  • He's done, and jesus is gonna win, and he will reign as king
  • 00:22:59.794 --> 00:23:05.099
  • Forever and ever and ever and ever.
  • 00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:09.069
  • Hey, in this existence we call life, there are two worlds.
  • 00:23:09.069 --> 00:23:14.041
  • You have the--a world called heaven and a world called earth.
  • 00:23:14.041 --> 00:23:17.812
  • May i ask you a question?
  • 00:23:17.812 --> 00:23:19.713
  • To which world do you belong?
  • 00:23:19.713 --> 00:23:22.149
  • Hey, in this existence, there are two cities.
  • 00:23:22.149 --> 00:23:25.252
  • There's a city called the old babylon, and there's a city
  • 00:23:25.252 --> 00:23:27.621
  • Called the new jerusalem.
  • 00:23:27.621 --> 00:23:28.989
  • May i just ask you, to which city do you belong?
  • 00:23:28.989 --> 00:23:32.393
  • As i read this text, there are two families that i see.
  • 00:23:32.393 --> 00:23:35.863
  • You've got the family of god and you have the family of satan.
  • 00:23:35.863 --> 00:23:38.933
  • May i ask you, to which family do you belong?
  • 00:23:38.933 --> 00:23:42.837
  • There's an old saying that says, "don't put all your eggs in
  • 00:23:42.837 --> 00:23:45.239
  • One basket."
  • 00:23:45.239 --> 00:23:46.774
  • I think that's bad advice.
  • 00:23:46.774 --> 00:23:49.009
  • I think you should put all your eggs in one basket, but you
  • 00:23:49.009 --> 00:23:52.213
  • Know what?
  • 00:23:52.213 --> 00:23:53.581
  • You better make sure it's the right basket.
  • 00:23:53.581 --> 00:23:56.484
  • Hey, put all your eggs in the basket of god's grace, and just
  • 00:23:56.484 --> 00:24:00.254
  • See how it turns out.
  • 00:24:00.254 --> 00:24:01.589
  • Put all your eggs in the basket of faith.
  • 00:24:01.589 --> 00:24:04.225
  • Put them in a basket that elevates the things of god and
  • 00:24:04.225 --> 00:24:07.495
  • De-escalates the things of the earth.
  • 00:24:07.495 --> 00:24:09.997
  • Put your eggs in the basket of god's mercy and forgiveness and
  • 00:24:09.997 --> 00:24:13.534
  • Grace and love and hope and joy and peace, and just see if being
  • 00:24:13.534 --> 00:24:18.339
  • A child of the king isn't worth it.
  • 00:24:18.339 --> 00:24:19.874
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:24:19.874 --> 00:24:21.242
  • In the end, there's only one victor, and his name is
  • 00:24:21.242 --> 00:24:23.777
  • Jesus christ, and we get the pleasure of knowing him
  • 00:24:23.777 --> 00:24:26.013
  • Today, amen?
  • 00:24:26.013 --> 00:24:30.818
  • Lord, today i thank you for loving us.
  • 00:24:30.818 --> 00:24:32.486
  • I thank you for giving us hope.
  • 00:24:32.486 --> 00:24:34.655
  • God thank you that we get to see what's coming.
  • 00:24:34.655 --> 00:24:37.558
  • Thank you that this world as we know it is coming to an end, and
  • 00:24:37.558 --> 00:24:40.928
  • The devil is finally gonna be cast out and put in his place.
  • 00:24:40.928 --> 00:24:44.832
  • Lord, i pray for those who don't have hope today, and i pray that
  • 00:24:44.832 --> 00:24:48.102
  • Today would be the day of salvation.
  • 00:24:48.102 --> 00:24:50.271
  • In fact, if you don't know jesus today and you wanna know him,
  • 00:24:50.271 --> 00:24:52.940
  • Would you just say, "lord, come into my heart, save me, change
  • 00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:57.811
  • Me, give me hope.
  • 00:24:57.811 --> 00:25:00.347
  • Lord, i'm asking you to forgive me of my sins.
  • 00:25:00.347 --> 00:25:02.383
  • As i turn my back on sin, i turn to you, and i point your
  • 00:25:02.383 --> 00:25:07.588
  • Direction because you are my hope for eternity.
  • 00:25:07.588 --> 00:25:11.225
  • God, make me the person you created me to be, save my soul,
  • 00:25:11.225 --> 00:25:15.195
  • And allow me to be free.
  • 00:25:15.195 --> 00:25:16.964
  • It's in jesus's name i pray, amen."
