  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:06.823
  • Allen jackson: god is moving in the earth.
  • 00:00:06.923 --> 00:00:08.658
  • We established allen jackson ministries to strengthen
  • 00:00:08.758 --> 00:00:11.461
  • The church.
  • 00:00:11.594 --> 00:00:12.796
  • Jesus said he would build his church and hell wouldn't
  • 00:00:12.929 --> 00:00:14.597
  • Stop it.
  • 00:00:14.697 --> 00:00:14.831
  • We intend to be a part of that in this nation and beyond.
  • 00:00:15.999 --> 00:00:18.935
  • With your help, we have done a lot of things in the media with
  • 00:00:18.935 --> 00:00:21.805
  • Television and radio.
  • 00:00:21.805 --> 00:00:23.606
  • We have created small group curriculum, we've hosted a
  • 00:00:23.606 --> 00:00:26.209
  • Culture and christianity conference.
  • 00:00:26.209 --> 00:00:28.178
  • We have crisscrossed this nation in more than two dozen cities
  • 00:00:28.178 --> 00:00:31.815
  • Doing pastor's conferences with pastors and church leaders.
  • 00:00:31.815 --> 00:00:35.318
  • Now we have strategic partners in israel and the ukraine asking
  • 00:00:35.318 --> 00:00:38.655
  • For that same kind of help and resources as we look at the
  • 00:00:38.655 --> 00:00:41.724
  • Year ahead.
  • 00:00:41.724 --> 00:00:43.059
  • I wanna ask you to prayerfully consider making an investment in
  • 00:00:43.059 --> 00:00:46.129
  • This ministry as we look towards this new year.
  • 00:00:46.129 --> 00:00:48.731
  • We intend to strengthen the church in this nation and beyond
  • 00:00:48.731 --> 00:00:52.168
  • As never before.
  • 00:00:52.168 --> 00:00:53.736
  • God is moving, we wanna be a part of that.
  • 00:00:53.736 --> 00:00:55.505
  • I thank you for your partnership, for your
  • 00:00:55.505 --> 00:00:57.273
  • Generosity, and for your faithfulness
  • 00:00:57.273 --> 00:00:59.275
  • In standing with us.
  • 00:00:59.275 --> 00:01:00.610
  • Together, we'll make a difference
  • 00:01:00.610 --> 00:01:01.945
  • For the kingdom of god.
  • 00:01:01.945 --> 00:01:03.279

  • 00:01:10.553 --> 00:01:30.807
  • Allen: i wanna pick up a theme that we've been working on.
  • 00:01:30.874 --> 00:01:36.045
  • It's actually a statement i made last week in another setting and
  • 00:01:36.045 --> 00:01:39.782
  • It's kept kind of reverberating within me.
  • 00:01:39.782 --> 00:01:43.119
  • And i mentioned it over the weekend and i'd like to look at
  • 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:45.989
  • It a little bit more.
  • 00:01:45.989 --> 00:01:47.357
  • It had to do with the antichrist.
  • 00:01:47.357 --> 00:01:49.893
  • What i said after the elections a week ago was that it felt to
  • 00:01:49.893 --> 00:01:54.898
  • Me as if the shadow of--the spirit of antichrist had
  • 00:01:54.898 --> 00:01:58.168
  • Deepened across our nation.
  • 00:01:58.168 --> 00:02:01.004
  • And that's--i don't intend that to be, i don't--it is a
  • 00:02:01.004 --> 00:02:04.474
  • Political statement.
  • 00:02:04.474 --> 00:02:06.643
  • I think elections are far more indicative of the heart
  • 00:02:06.643 --> 00:02:09.779
  • Condition of the people than they are the strength of
  • 00:02:09.779 --> 00:02:11.648
  • Political parties.
  • 00:02:11.648 --> 00:02:13.416
  • I look forward to the day where we can choose between multiple
  • 00:02:13.416 --> 00:02:16.119
  • Candidates who share biblical worldviews, and have different
  • 00:02:16.119 --> 00:02:19.656
  • Opinions on how they should be implemented.
  • 00:02:19.656 --> 00:02:22.392
  • That isn't the place where we typically find ourselves
  • 00:02:22.392 --> 00:02:24.994
  • These days.
  • 00:02:24.994 --> 00:02:26.696
  • And i think what we are witnessing is a realization that
  • 00:02:26.696 --> 00:02:35.071
  • We have a heart problem.
  • 00:02:35.071 --> 00:02:36.472
  • The immorality and the ungodliness and the lawlessness,
  • 00:02:39.943 --> 00:02:42.645
  • The list of things that we're familiar with, as i've said to
  • 00:02:42.645 --> 00:02:45.415
  • You many times, i don't understand them to be
  • 00:02:45.415 --> 00:02:47.250
  • Fundamentally political issues, i think they're
  • 00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:49.953
  • Spiritual issues.
  • 00:02:49.953 --> 00:02:52.255
  • And i do believe that.
  • 00:02:52.255 --> 00:02:53.623
  • I believe the spirit of antichrist is exerting greater
  • 00:02:53.623 --> 00:02:57.660
  • Influence across our nation than any time in my lifetime i can
  • 00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:00.496
  • Speak to that with some experience and authority.
  • 00:03:00.496 --> 00:03:03.600
  • I'll give you some simple examples.
  • 00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:04.934
  • I mean, new york city elected a mayor who is muslim
  • 00:03:04.934 --> 00:03:07.870
  • And socialist.
  • 00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:10.773
  • That's different.
  • 00:03:10.773 --> 00:03:13.009
  • Muslim being--those are two--socialism and islam are two
  • 00:03:13.009 --> 00:03:17.880
  • Ideologies, two political ideologies that primarily are in
  • 00:03:17.880 --> 00:03:23.119
  • Favor of the diminishment, if not the dismantling of the
  • 00:03:23.119 --> 00:03:25.722
  • United states.
  • 00:03:25.722 --> 00:03:28.157
  • And they are aggressively assertively have
  • 00:03:28.157 --> 00:03:31.527
  • Been anti-christian.
  • 00:03:31.527 --> 00:03:34.731
  • So over the largest american city, we chose leadership that
  • 00:03:34.731 --> 00:03:39.302
  • Embraces those positions.
  • 00:03:39.302 --> 00:03:42.372
  • But i don't say that to pick on mamdani.
  • 00:03:42.372 --> 00:03:44.207
  • It isn't about a person.
  • 00:03:44.207 --> 00:03:45.975
  • It's about the ideologies that he very much gives voice to and
  • 00:03:45.975 --> 00:03:48.745
  • The spirit that he's embraced and that he would bring to
  • 00:03:48.745 --> 00:03:51.414
  • Leadership over that city, but i don't think new york is unique.
  • 00:03:51.414 --> 00:03:55.551
  • If you look across our country, major american cities, chicago,
  • 00:03:55.551 --> 00:03:59.255
  • Los angeles, san francisco, portland, seattle, minneapolis,
  • 00:03:59.255 --> 00:04:03.459
  • The list could go on and on.
  • 00:04:03.459 --> 00:04:06.095
  • They all reflect a refusal to cooperate with federal law,
  • 00:04:06.095 --> 00:04:11.801
  • While they demand federal dollars, while they impede
  • 00:04:11.801 --> 00:04:14.537
  • Federal law enforcement.
  • 00:04:14.537 --> 00:04:16.873
  • New york is by no means separate or isolated.
  • 00:04:16.873 --> 00:04:21.444
  • That's a very, very, very unsettling trend, and it isn't
  • 00:04:21.444 --> 00:04:28.718
  • Removed from us very far.
  • 00:04:28.718 --> 00:04:30.219
  • The trajectory of in middle tennessee of nashville is such
  • 00:04:30.219 --> 00:04:35.692
  • That if there's not a dramatic change, it will take its place
  • 00:04:35.692 --> 00:04:38.494
  • With that litany and that lineup of spirits in major
  • 00:04:38.494 --> 00:04:42.699
  • American cities.
  • 00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:44.267
  • So i think we're left to decide whether we ignore it.
  • 00:04:48.338 --> 00:04:52.342
  • And i have many, many associates and many acquaintances who are
  • 00:04:52.342 --> 00:04:56.212
  • Desperately trying not to notice.
  • 00:04:56.212 --> 00:04:59.482
  • I understand that temptation.
  • 00:04:59.482 --> 00:05:01.851
  • It's so much simpler to just, let's just do a bible study than
  • 00:05:01.851 --> 00:05:07.557
  • It is to try to engage the world we live in with biblical truth,
  • 00:05:07.557 --> 00:05:10.460
  • But i'd like to take this session and talk to you about
  • 00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:13.196
  • The overthrow of the spirit of antichrist 'cause he will
  • 00:05:13.196 --> 00:05:16.165
  • Ultimately, that spirit will ultimately be defeated in
  • 00:05:16.165 --> 00:05:18.601
  • Planet earth.
  • 00:05:18.601 --> 00:05:20.403
  • That i intend, i intend not to spend my life or take my time
  • 00:05:20.403 --> 00:05:28.745
  • Celebrating the expressions of wickedness and ungodliness.
  • 00:05:28.745 --> 00:05:32.348
  • I want to do everything in my power to lift up the name
  • 00:05:32.348 --> 00:05:34.517
  • Of jesus.
  • 00:05:34.517 --> 00:05:36.152
  • Then i will focus my attention on what the spirit of god is
  • 00:05:36.152 --> 00:05:39.555
  • Doing in the earth and invite whomever, wherever, to join me
  • 00:05:39.555 --> 00:05:44.060
  • In that enterprise, and i'm honored to be able to serve
  • 00:05:44.060 --> 00:05:46.329
  • With you.
  • 00:05:46.329 --> 00:05:47.864
  • So that is the target of this bit of a session.
  • 00:05:47.864 --> 00:05:51.534
  • We'll start with this notion of the overthrow of the antichrist
  • 00:05:51.534 --> 00:05:54.370
  • And his forces.
  • 00:05:54.370 --> 00:05:55.905
  • I think there's a lot of misunderstanding.
  • 00:05:55.905 --> 00:05:57.707
  • You know, it comes to us from the book of revelation.
  • 00:05:57.707 --> 00:06:00.743
  • And i think big picture, i get the better outcomes if i can
  • 00:06:00.743 --> 00:06:05.448
  • Maintain the bigger picture.
  • 00:06:05.448 --> 00:06:07.483
  • You know, stephen covey wrote rather famously some time ago.
  • 00:06:07.483 --> 00:06:10.319
  • Now, the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
  • 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:15.324
  • He got paid very well for that line.
  • 00:06:15.324 --> 00:06:19.562
  • And when we talk about this, the last book of the bible is this
  • 00:06:19.562 --> 00:06:22.365
  • Description of this great conflict between the lamb and
  • 00:06:22.365 --> 00:06:25.001
  • The beast.
  • 00:06:25.001 --> 00:06:26.369
  • We're going to talk about it in more detail.
  • 00:06:26.369 --> 00:06:28.905
  • And ultimately our lord is triumphant.
  • 00:06:28.905 --> 00:06:34.076
  • And you need to keep that in mind, but it is going to march
  • 00:06:34.076 --> 00:06:37.680
  • Towards this conflict.
  • 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.615
  • And you may not like that, you may think, well, i don't like to
  • 00:06:39.615 --> 00:06:42.618
  • Think about that.
  • 00:06:42.618 --> 00:06:44.487
  • Okay, but it's a description of the end of the age.
  • 00:06:44.487 --> 00:06:48.291
  • And if that conflict is going to intensify, we wanna understand
  • 00:06:48.291 --> 00:06:52.829
  • Everything we can about it.
  • 00:06:52.829 --> 00:06:54.564
  • And i don't think escapist theology is helpful.
  • 00:06:54.564 --> 00:06:57.033
  • If your attitude is, i'm going to be raptured out of here, it
  • 00:06:57.033 --> 00:06:59.001
  • Doesn't matter to me.
  • 00:06:59.001 --> 00:07:01.304
  • Okay, i mean, i want out of here on the first load up.
  • 00:07:01.304 --> 00:07:04.941
  • I'm not arguing for the privilege of tribulating.
  • 00:07:04.941 --> 00:07:09.612
  • Having said that, the scripture gives us a lot of information.
  • 00:07:09.612 --> 00:07:12.114
  • And if we're given the information, i think it might be
  • 00:07:12.114 --> 00:07:14.183
  • In our benefit to understand it.
  • 00:07:14.183 --> 00:07:17.053
  • So, i'm gonna walk through--i have very little imagination
  • 00:07:17.053 --> 00:07:19.589
  • That i'll finish your outline.
  • 00:07:19.589 --> 00:07:22.425
  • I'm not even gonna try.
  • 00:07:22.425 --> 00:07:24.961
  • But i wasn't exactly sure how far i would get, so i just put
  • 00:07:24.961 --> 00:07:28.164
  • Some stuff in there and if i get there, we'll call it
  • 00:07:28.164 --> 00:07:29.899
  • Bonus, okay.
  • 00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:32.101
  • God willing, i'll be back to the platform and we'll work on this
  • 00:07:32.101 --> 00:07:34.904
  • Some more.
  • 00:07:34.904 --> 00:07:36.372
  • But let's start with the spirit of antichrist,
  • 00:07:36.372 --> 00:07:38.808
  • Many antichrist and the antichrist because that's what
  • 00:07:38.808 --> 00:07:42.078
  • The bible describes.
  • 00:07:42.078 --> 00:07:44.247
  • It's a bit more complicated.
  • 00:07:44.247 --> 00:07:45.948
  • It says that the spirit of antichrist has gone into
  • 00:07:45.948 --> 00:07:48.684
  • The world.
  • 00:07:48.684 --> 00:07:50.620
  • And you can see that through the pages of scripture, and you can
  • 00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:53.422
  • See that through the pages of history.
  • 00:07:53.422 --> 00:07:56.125
  • I believe when the egyptians were murdering the babies of the
  • 00:07:56.125 --> 00:07:59.495
  • Hebrew slaves, it was an expression of the spirit
  • 00:07:59.495 --> 00:08:02.231
  • Of antichrist.
  • 00:08:02.231 --> 00:08:03.599
  • I think satan knew very well what god had intended because
  • 00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:06.869
  • That announcement was made in the garden.
  • 00:08:06.869 --> 00:08:09.605
  • When god said to satan that he would bruise the heel of adam's
  • 00:08:09.605 --> 00:08:14.710
  • Descendants, but they would crush his head, it's the
  • 00:08:14.710 --> 00:08:19.515
  • Understanding of what was going to unfold in human history
  • 00:08:19.515 --> 00:08:21.684
  • Is consistent.
  • 00:08:21.684 --> 00:08:23.686
  • I think that same spirit stalked the streets of bethlehem when
  • 00:08:23.686 --> 00:08:26.756
  • They killed all the male and babies in bethlehem after jesus
  • 00:08:26.756 --> 00:08:30.426
  • Was born.
  • 00:08:30.426 --> 00:08:32.895
  • I think there are many places in scripture where you can see the
  • 00:08:32.895 --> 00:08:35.565
  • Spirit of antichrist when they stood in the streets of
  • 00:08:35.565 --> 00:08:37.767
  • Jerusalem and screamed, "crucify him," when pontius pilate put
  • 00:08:37.767 --> 00:08:41.304
  • The option forward to release jesus or barabbas.
  • 00:08:41.304 --> 00:08:45.207
  • I think you can see it across the history of the church.
  • 00:08:45.207 --> 00:08:49.779
  • I think you can see it through human history with anti-semitism
  • 00:08:49.779 --> 00:08:53.015
  • And the hatred of the jewish people.
  • 00:08:53.015 --> 00:08:55.585
  • The spirit of antichrist is not--anti carries with it
  • 00:08:55.585 --> 00:09:00.089
  • Two meanings.
  • 00:09:00.089 --> 00:09:01.424
  • This might help a bit.
  • 00:09:01.424 --> 00:09:02.925
  • One means against, and the other would mean in place of.
  • 00:09:02.925 --> 00:09:09.131
  • So when you think about the spirit that opposes the true
  • 00:09:09.131 --> 00:09:12.001
  • Christ, first and foremost would like the place of christ.
  • 00:09:12.001 --> 00:09:16.405
  • It would like to be worshiped.
  • 00:09:16.405 --> 00:09:18.507
  • It's the bargain that satan put before jesus when he tempted him
  • 00:09:18.507 --> 00:09:21.243
  • In the wilderness after jesus's baptism.
  • 00:09:21.243 --> 00:09:23.646
  • He said, "if you'll just bow down and worship me, i'll give
  • 00:09:23.646 --> 00:09:25.681
  • You the authorities over all the kingdoms of the earth."
  • 00:09:25.681 --> 00:09:29.352
  • I believe satan lost his place in heaven.
  • 00:09:29.352 --> 00:09:31.787
  • Some of this is my opinion, some of it is built on scripture, but
  • 00:09:31.787 --> 00:09:34.457
  • I think he lost his place in heaven because he wanted the
  • 00:09:34.457 --> 00:09:37.393
  • Place jesus had.
  • 00:09:37.393 --> 00:09:40.296
  • And in his pride, he led a rebellion and he was kicked out
  • 00:09:40.296 --> 00:09:42.965
  • Of heaven.
  • 00:09:42.965 --> 00:09:44.533
  • And so when we talk about the spirit of antichrist, one
  • 00:09:44.533 --> 00:09:47.570
  • Expression of that is it wants to be worshiped in the place
  • 00:09:47.570 --> 00:09:50.206
  • Of christ.
  • 00:09:50.206 --> 00:09:52.341
  • The other expression, and there are two sides of the same coin,
  • 00:09:52.341 --> 00:09:54.944
  • Is it is opposed to christ.
  • 00:09:54.944 --> 00:09:56.912
  • It wants to diminish, limit, eliminate.
  • 00:09:56.912 --> 00:10:00.750
  • And therefore, it'll do anything it can to stop the unfolding
  • 00:10:00.750 --> 00:10:04.020
  • Purposes of the redemptive work of jesus.
  • 00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:06.856
  • If he could stop his birth, if he could--whatever it might be,
  • 00:10:06.856 --> 00:10:10.092
  • Stop his ministry, impede it.
  • 00:10:10.092 --> 00:10:12.828
  • If you follow jesus through the gospels, there's some
  • 00:10:12.828 --> 00:10:14.530
  • Circumstances that i think can best be understood as satanic
  • 00:10:14.530 --> 00:10:18.034
  • Opposition to jesus's life and ministry.
  • 00:10:18.034 --> 00:10:21.270
  • The frequency of the storms he was caught in, the opposition he
  • 00:10:21.270 --> 00:10:24.740
  • Had, expressions of the spirit of antichrist, and that spirit
  • 00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:29.612
  • Is at work in the earth.
  • 00:10:29.612 --> 00:10:30.980
  • Why else would a nation with a judeo-christian heritage such as
  • 00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:34.283
  • We have, our legal system is built from that, our educational
  • 00:10:34.283 --> 00:10:37.853
  • System was built from that.
  • 00:10:37.853 --> 00:10:39.555
  • It brought prosperity and blessings and opportunity
  • 00:10:39.555 --> 00:10:43.459
  • Unprecedented in the history of human civilization.
  • 00:10:43.459 --> 00:10:46.195
  • There's never been a nation like ours.
  • 00:10:46.195 --> 00:10:47.763
  • It was a nation of immigrants where people have come from
  • 00:10:47.763 --> 00:10:50.399
  • Multiple nations with different languages and ethnicities and
  • 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.036
  • Appearances, and what bound us together was not our accent, it
  • 00:10:54.036 --> 00:10:58.441
  • Was a worldview.
  • 00:10:58.441 --> 00:11:00.976
  • And it brought the blessing of god.
  • 00:11:00.976 --> 00:11:02.378
  • There's never been anything like that.
  • 00:11:02.378 --> 00:11:03.746
  • And yet the people with that heritage have spent several
  • 00:11:03.746 --> 00:11:06.816
  • Decades now, four or five at least, doing everything in our
  • 00:11:06.816 --> 00:11:10.553
  • Power to deny that heritage and to strip it from our public
  • 00:11:10.553 --> 00:11:15.524
  • Education in the public square.
  • 00:11:15.524 --> 00:11:17.193
  • You can teach almost any religion you want to in our
  • 00:11:20.362 --> 00:11:22.865
  • Public schools except the christian religion.
  • 00:11:22.865 --> 00:11:25.835
  • You can talk about religions from antiquity.
  • 00:11:25.835 --> 00:11:28.504
  • I go to public schools and i walk through and they have all
  • 00:11:28.504 --> 00:11:30.639
  • Sorts of egyptian religions.
  • 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.241
  • I mean, they have world religions on the walls and
  • 00:11:32.241 --> 00:11:34.643
  • Teaching the kids and it's okay with me, but they have banished
  • 00:11:34.643 --> 00:11:37.980
  • The christian faith.
  • 00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:39.348
  • It's the spirit of antichrist.
  • 00:11:39.348 --> 00:11:43.052
  • I don't think it's accidental that in our leading seminaries
  • 00:11:43.052 --> 00:11:45.988
  • For several decades, we've been training leaders of the church
  • 00:11:45.988 --> 00:11:49.125
  • Not to believe in the authority of scripture.
  • 00:11:49.125 --> 00:11:51.794
  • It's the spirit.
  • 00:11:55.197 --> 00:11:56.565
  • There are some exceptions to that.
  • 00:11:56.565 --> 00:11:58.134
  • But typically the most celebrated, the most
  • 00:11:58.134 --> 00:12:00.836
  • Academically revered theological institutions, we have diminished
  • 00:12:00.836 --> 00:12:05.541
  • The authority of scripture.
  • 00:12:05.541 --> 00:12:06.909
  • We'll talk about myth.
  • 00:12:06.909 --> 00:12:08.878
  • We'll talk about all sorts of things, deconstructionist.
  • 00:12:08.878 --> 00:12:12.581
  • All sorts of a critical theory applied to the biblical studies
  • 00:12:12.581 --> 00:12:16.552
  • That leave us with a greatly diminished approach to
  • 00:12:16.552 --> 00:12:19.155
  • The bible.
  • 00:12:19.155 --> 00:12:21.123
  • It's not a supernatural book.
  • 00:12:21.123 --> 00:12:22.591
  • It's not an inspired book.
  • 00:12:22.591 --> 00:12:24.794
  • It's the spirit of antichrist.
  • 00:12:24.794 --> 00:12:28.264
  • We have churches that will argue cessationism that the
  • 00:12:28.264 --> 00:12:33.269
  • Supernatural aspects of our bible no longer happen.
  • 00:12:33.269 --> 00:12:36.405
  • Well, if you wanna render a church impotent, convince them
  • 00:12:36.405 --> 00:12:40.009
  • To believe in something that is inert.
  • 00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:41.777
  • There are many expressions the spirit of antichrist is
  • 00:12:44.947 --> 00:12:48.884
  • Flourishing in the earth.
  • 00:12:48.884 --> 00:12:50.219
  • So don't get overly heated up about new york city, but
  • 00:12:50.219 --> 00:12:54.690
  • Understand the significance of what is happening.
  • 00:12:54.690 --> 00:12:56.892
  • The major american cities are far more welcoming of ungodly
  • 00:12:56.892 --> 00:13:01.964
  • Spirits and idolatrous spirits than they are the spirit of
  • 00:13:01.964 --> 00:13:04.934
  • Almighty god.
  • 00:13:04.934 --> 00:13:06.268
  • Imagine if a 34-year-old pentecostal, born-again,
  • 00:13:06.268 --> 00:13:11.574
  • Spirit-filled, christ follower had been elected the mayor of
  • 00:13:11.574 --> 00:13:15.344
  • New york.
  • 00:13:15.344 --> 00:13:18.614
  • We would be losing our minds.
  • 00:13:18.614 --> 00:13:23.118
  • And that would be far more in keeping with our heritage as
  • 00:13:23.118 --> 00:13:25.855
  • A people.

  • Allen: then the bible says there are many antichrist.
  • 00:14:35.624 --> 00:14:37.760
  • There have been many individuals that have stepped onto the stage
  • 00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:40.195
  • Of human history that were something of an embodiment of
  • 00:14:40.195 --> 00:14:43.565
  • The spirit of antichrist.
  • 00:14:43.565 --> 00:14:44.934
  • Not the antichrist, not the individual of the book of
  • 00:14:44.934 --> 00:14:47.102
  • Revelation, but they give you just a glimpse, a sampling of
  • 00:14:47.102 --> 00:14:54.243
  • The beastly nature of that spirit.
  • 00:14:54.243 --> 00:14:58.280
  • I mean, we can take the last century if you, i mean, stalin
  • 00:14:58.280 --> 00:15:01.317
  • Or lenin or--you don't have to look very far through human
  • 00:15:01.317 --> 00:15:05.154
  • History to find leaders who when they were managed to consolidate
  • 00:15:05.154 --> 00:15:08.757
  • Power, behaved in a beastly way.
  • 00:15:08.757 --> 00:15:11.393
  • More than 100 million people died in the last century as the
  • 00:15:11.393 --> 00:15:15.130
  • Result of communism.
  • 00:15:15.130 --> 00:15:18.901
  • And i think many several of those leaders were a pretty
  • 00:15:18.901 --> 00:15:22.972
  • Profound, we wanted to limit it to that, but that's a pretty
  • 00:15:22.972 --> 00:15:25.808
  • Significant example of that spirit of antichrist in those
  • 00:15:25.808 --> 00:15:30.512
  • Positions of power and authority.
  • 00:15:30.512 --> 00:15:32.214
  • And then the bible describes at the culmination of this age, the
  • 00:15:32.214 --> 00:15:37.553
  • Individual that will take the bargain that jesus rejected.
  • 00:15:37.553 --> 00:15:42.558
  • He'll worship satan and be given the authority over the kingdoms
  • 00:15:42.558 --> 00:15:45.461
  • Of the world.
  • 00:15:45.461 --> 00:15:47.496
  • And he's gonna be a very religious character.
  • 00:15:47.496 --> 00:15:50.966
  • His sidekick, his strong right arm will be a false prophet, a
  • 00:15:50.966 --> 00:15:55.471
  • Very supernatural fellow.
  • 00:15:55.471 --> 00:15:58.307
  • There'll be miracles and attestations, and there'll be
  • 00:15:58.307 --> 00:16:00.509
  • All sorts of religious language.
  • 00:16:00.509 --> 00:16:03.045
  • There'll be all sorts of ecclesiastical ceremony.
  • 00:16:03.045 --> 00:16:07.616
  • And he will come with the solutions to the problems of
  • 00:16:07.616 --> 00:16:10.252
  • The planet.
  • 00:16:10.252 --> 00:16:12.554
  • And we'll be desperate enough that we will cede authority
  • 00:16:12.554 --> 00:16:17.359
  • To him.
  • 00:16:17.359 --> 00:16:20.162
  • And after he has gained that authority, he will prove to be
  • 00:16:20.162 --> 00:16:22.598
  • The most beastly leader our world has ever known.
  • 00:16:22.598 --> 00:16:26.535
  • There have been a lot of antichrist through history.
  • 00:16:26.535 --> 00:16:28.670
  • Different--i gave you the communist, but in 130 ad there
  • 00:16:28.670 --> 00:16:31.707
  • Was a jewish figure that claimed to be messiah, bar kokhba.
  • 00:16:31.707 --> 00:16:36.245
  • And he led the rebellion that caused the romans to finally be
  • 00:16:36.245 --> 00:16:38.981
  • Done with the jews in jerusalem, that's the whole palestinian
  • 00:16:38.981 --> 00:16:43.852
  • Debate comes from that period of time.
  • 00:16:43.852 --> 00:16:45.587
  • The romans were so frustrated with the jews and their
  • 00:16:45.587 --> 00:16:48.524
  • Rebellions that they wanted to separate the jewish people from
  • 00:16:48.524 --> 00:16:51.393
  • The land of israel.
  • 00:16:51.393 --> 00:16:53.929
  • So they relabeled it in a corruption of the philistines,
  • 00:16:53.929 --> 00:16:57.366
  • Philistia, which is the coastal area where gaza is today, and on
  • 00:16:57.366 --> 00:17:01.437
  • Their maps, they labeled the area palestine.
  • 00:17:01.437 --> 00:17:04.039
  • It was about a region.
  • 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.374
  • It wasn't about a people.
  • 00:17:05.374 --> 00:17:06.742
  • There were jews and whoever that lived there.
  • 00:17:06.742 --> 00:17:09.645
  • But it was as a result of bar kokhba.
  • 00:17:09.645 --> 00:17:12.181
  • It was the jewish final revolt against rome, and it was
  • 00:17:12.181 --> 00:17:14.817
  • Brutally suppressed.
  • 00:17:14.817 --> 00:17:16.185
  • Jesus told us it would happen.
  • 00:17:16.185 --> 00:17:17.686
  • He said, "many will come in my name, saying, i'm the messiah."
  • 00:17:17.686 --> 00:17:20.222
  • But the revelation, the book of revelation gives us this window,
  • 00:17:23.826 --> 00:17:26.695
  • This three and a half years when he'll be the most brutal
  • 00:17:26.695 --> 00:17:29.298
  • Dictator our world has ever known.
  • 00:17:29.298 --> 00:17:31.934
  • What i would--i think it's worth acknowledging, is god will
  • 00:17:31.934 --> 00:17:36.738
  • Permit this.
  • 00:17:36.738 --> 00:17:38.107
  • He has given us a choice.
  • 00:17:38.107 --> 00:17:40.409
  • It's not some takeover strategy from the kingdom of darkness.
  • 00:17:40.409 --> 00:17:45.180
  • The nature of the bargain is god will look at humanity and say,
  • 00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:48.383
  • "you have rejected me, you have rejected my son.
  • 00:17:48.383 --> 00:17:51.453
  • You may have what you ask for."
  • 00:17:51.453 --> 00:17:55.457
  • That's what's happening.
  • 00:17:55.457 --> 00:17:56.825
  • It's not some covert operation on behalf of darkness.
  • 00:17:56.825 --> 00:18:00.729
  • You see, we have to be more astute.
  • 00:18:00.729 --> 00:18:02.664
  • It's why we have to use our voices.
  • 00:18:02.664 --> 00:18:04.166
  • It's why we have to have more determination.
  • 00:18:04.166 --> 00:18:06.468
  • When we refuse to stand up, when we capitulate in the face of
  • 00:18:06.468 --> 00:18:09.538
  • Darkness and refuse to identify with jesus, we are yielding
  • 00:18:09.538 --> 00:18:13.542
  • The field.
  • 00:18:13.542 --> 00:18:15.377
  • We will either serve the true christ in righteousness and
  • 00:18:15.377 --> 00:18:18.313
  • Holiness and share in his kingdom, or we will serve the
  • 00:18:18.313 --> 00:18:21.683
  • False christ, ultimately the antichrist.
  • 00:18:21.683 --> 00:18:25.020
  • Those are the options.
  • 00:18:25.020 --> 00:18:28.557
  • It's uncomfortable and we don't like to think about it and
  • 00:18:28.557 --> 00:18:31.827
  • Couldn't we talk about what we're gonna do on the weekend?
  • 00:18:31.827 --> 00:18:37.232
  • But i put a paragraph in your notes 'cause i didn't--i knew i
  • 00:18:37.232 --> 00:18:40.502
  • Was gonna read it to you and i didn't wanna forget it, but god
  • 00:18:40.502 --> 00:18:43.505
  • Does not teach us theoretical truth.
  • 00:18:43.505 --> 00:18:47.176
  • When we have a revelation of god's truth, he gives each of us
  • 00:18:47.176 --> 00:18:50.179
  • An opportunity to live through it.
  • 00:18:50.179 --> 00:18:53.048
  • The point of the revelation is that we can give expression to
  • 00:18:53.048 --> 00:18:56.418
  • Living in the light of that truth.
  • 00:18:56.418 --> 00:18:58.120
  • Smoking is harmful for you.
  • 00:19:01.490 --> 00:19:02.925
  • Now we have a choice.
  • 00:19:02.925 --> 00:19:04.259
  • Will we live in the light of that truth or will we ignore it?
  • 00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:07.162
  • Well, god gives us revelations of his truth, and then we have
  • 00:19:07.162 --> 00:19:10.232
  • To make a decision.
  • 00:19:10.232 --> 00:19:11.567
  • Will we live through that truth, or will we catalog it?
  • 00:19:11.567 --> 00:19:14.570
  • Will we put it on the shelf?
  • 00:19:14.570 --> 00:19:16.271
  • Will we decide to set it aside?
  • 00:19:16.271 --> 00:19:18.073
  • What will we do with it?
  • 00:19:18.073 --> 00:19:21.410
  • You see, we gain trust and confidence in the faithfulness
  • 00:19:21.410 --> 00:19:24.346
  • Of god when we cooperate with his truth.
  • 00:19:24.346 --> 00:19:26.682
  • We learn to depend upon his character and his power to
  • 00:19:26.682 --> 00:19:29.585
  • Sustain us.
  • 00:19:29.585 --> 00:19:30.953
  • If you're ignoring his truth, if you're not paying attention, if
  • 00:19:30.953 --> 00:19:33.956
  • You're not implementing it, you don't gain that confidence.
  • 00:19:33.956 --> 00:19:38.594
  • We have to learn to say no to our carnal earthly self and say
  • 00:19:38.594 --> 00:19:43.665
  • Yes to godliness.
  • 00:19:43.665 --> 00:19:46.401
  • Now, that isn't typical.
  • 00:19:46.401 --> 00:19:48.170
  • The majority of your peer group probably won't do that.
  • 00:19:48.170 --> 00:19:52.908
  • I'd be surprised if your business associates, the
  • 00:19:52.908 --> 00:19:56.245
  • Majority of them are willing to do that.
  • 00:19:56.245 --> 00:19:58.447
  • It's going to make you an outlier.
  • 00:19:58.447 --> 00:20:01.817
  • At times, it will make you seem vulnerable.
  • 00:20:01.817 --> 00:20:04.519
  • It'll make it, you'll feel as if you aren't planning for the
  • 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.322
  • Future adequately.
  • 00:20:07.322 --> 00:20:09.891
  • Not because you're failing to plan, but you're basing your
  • 00:20:09.891 --> 00:20:12.327
  • Choices on a different set of principles than the secular
  • 00:20:12.327 --> 00:20:16.365
  • People around you.
  • 00:20:16.365 --> 00:20:18.467
  • You'll invest your time differently.
  • 00:20:18.467 --> 00:20:20.269
  • You'll invest your energy differently.
  • 00:20:20.269 --> 00:20:22.938
  • You'll invest your dollars differently.
  • 00:20:22.938 --> 00:20:26.975
  • And i just candidly as i know how to be, what i'm submitting
  • 00:20:31.213 --> 00:20:34.516
  • To you, what i'm describing to you is not an easy class to be
  • 00:20:34.516 --> 00:20:37.719
  • Enrolled in.
  • 00:20:37.719 --> 00:20:41.290
  • It isn't.
  • 00:20:41.290 --> 00:20:42.624
  • It's worthwhile.
  • 00:20:42.624 --> 00:20:43.992
  • The benefits are otherworldly.
  • 00:20:43.992 --> 00:20:47.229
  • But i'm not telling you it's simple.
  • 00:20:47.229 --> 00:20:51.266
  • The reality that the book of revelation gives us is that all
  • 00:20:51.266 --> 00:20:54.036
  • Humanity will receive the most terrible lesson ever
  • 00:20:54.036 --> 00:20:56.438
  • Demonstrated on the earth.
  • 00:20:56.438 --> 00:20:59.941
  • It'll be the most brutal lesson humanity will ever learn.
  • 00:20:59.941 --> 00:21:04.646
  • Pontius pilate gave the jewish people a choice.
  • 00:21:04.646 --> 00:21:06.715
  • Do you remember?
  • 00:21:06.715 --> 00:21:08.717
  • They presented jesus to him.
  • 00:21:08.717 --> 00:21:10.052
  • They're asking that he be crucified.
  • 00:21:10.052 --> 00:21:11.553
  • Pilate knows he's innocent.
  • 00:21:11.553 --> 00:21:13.655
  • He's looking for a political solution.
  • 00:21:13.655 --> 00:21:16.925
  • Politics is about negotiation and compromise and
  • 00:21:16.925 --> 00:21:19.761
  • Pilate's willing.
  • 00:21:19.761 --> 00:21:21.630
  • So he takes the worst of the prisoners and he says, "you
  • 00:21:21.630 --> 00:21:24.299
  • Know, it's my habit at the time of the feast to release the
  • 00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:26.835
  • Prisoner to you."
  • 00:21:26.835 --> 00:21:28.170
  • He thinks it's a slam dunk.
  • 00:21:28.170 --> 00:21:29.538
  • The people will choose jesus, the healer, the winemaker, the
  • 00:21:29.538 --> 00:21:32.107
  • Water walker, and not the murderous insurrectionist.
  • 00:21:32.107 --> 00:21:36.945
  • "who would you like me to release, jesus or barabbas?"
  • 00:21:36.945 --> 00:21:41.950
  • And the people said, "we have no king but caesar."
  • 00:21:41.950 --> 00:21:44.853
  • What spirit is that?
  • 00:21:44.853 --> 00:21:47.856
  • The spirit of antichrist.
  • 00:21:47.856 --> 00:21:49.257
  • Give us barabbas.
  • 00:21:52.394 --> 00:21:55.464
  • And you may or may not know, but for more than 19 centuries, the
  • 00:21:55.464 --> 00:21:59.301
  • Jewish people have been ruled by the caesars.
  • 00:21:59.301 --> 00:22:03.872
  • And there has been a lengthy list of barabbases who have been
  • 00:22:03.872 --> 00:22:07.509
  • Turned loose on them.
  • 00:22:07.509 --> 00:22:11.012
  • Now, there will be a change in that, and we may get to that
  • 00:22:11.012 --> 00:22:12.881
  • In your outline, if not in this session.
  • 00:22:12.881 --> 00:22:16.184
  • But what i would submit to you is that it's something of a
  • 00:22:16.184 --> 00:22:19.154
  • Paradigm for us.
  • 00:22:19.154 --> 00:22:20.489
  • God will give all humanity that choice, except the messiah and
  • 00:22:20.489 --> 00:22:23.592
  • His kingdom or serve the antichrist.
  • 00:22:23.592 --> 00:22:27.896
  • There's a decision to be made.
  • 00:22:27.896 --> 00:22:31.767
  • The consequence of rejecting god will be horrific.
  • 00:22:31.767 --> 00:22:35.771
  • It's not god's fault.
  • 00:22:35.771 --> 00:22:39.074
  • In our rebellion and our self-absorption, we tend to
  • 00:22:39.074 --> 00:22:42.277
  • Blame god for our own choices.
  • 00:22:42.277 --> 00:22:44.346
  • Those of us who choose jesus will be under his government.
  • 00:22:47.582 --> 00:22:51.219
  • Those who reject jesus will be under the government of
  • 00:22:51.219 --> 00:22:53.555
  • The antichrist.
  • 00:22:53.555 --> 00:22:55.424
  • If you want a motivation for evangelism, that's not a
  • 00:22:55.424 --> 00:22:57.826
  • Bad one.
  • 00:22:57.826 --> 00:22:59.795
  • You want the people you know, the people you care about, the
  • 00:22:59.795 --> 00:23:02.330
  • People that you respect, the people--you want to tell them
  • 00:23:02.330 --> 00:23:06.535
  • Who jesus is so they can serve him.
  • 00:23:06.535 --> 00:23:09.404
  • Revelation 19 gives us a pretty graphic presentation of the
  • 00:23:09.404 --> 00:23:14.242
  • Defeat of antichrist.
  • 00:23:14.242 --> 00:23:17.045
  • Verse 11, "i saw heaven standing open and there before me was a
  • 00:23:17.045 --> 00:23:20.115
  • White horse, whose rider is called faithful and true.
  • 00:23:20.115 --> 00:23:23.485
  • With justice he judges and makes war."
  • 00:23:23.485 --> 00:23:26.154
  • Do you have room for jesus in that role?
  • 00:23:26.154 --> 00:23:32.994
  • It's very fashionable to say jesus is all about love and
  • 00:23:32.994 --> 00:23:37.466
  • Unity and peace, and those things are true.
  • 00:23:37.466 --> 00:23:39.234
  • He is about love and he is about unity and he is about peace, but
  • 00:23:39.234 --> 00:23:42.404
  • That's not the whole story.
  • 00:23:42.404 --> 00:23:45.640
  • When he comes back to the earth, it says in the plainest of
  • 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:49.044
  • Language that with justice, he will judge and make war.
  • 00:23:49.044 --> 00:23:52.747
  • "his eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.
  • 00:23:52.747 --> 00:23:56.551
  • He has a name written on him that no one knows but
  • 00:23:56.551 --> 00:23:58.954
  • He himself.
  • 00:23:58.954 --> 00:24:00.288
  • He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is
  • 00:24:00.288 --> 00:24:02.123
  • The word of god.
  • 00:24:02.123 --> 00:24:04.125
  • And the armies of heaven were following him, riding on white
  • 00:24:04.125 --> 00:24:06.561
  • Horses and dressed in fine linen, and white and clean.
  • 00:24:06.561 --> 00:24:08.597
  • And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike
  • 00:24:08.597 --> 00:24:11.666
  • Down the nations.
  • 00:24:11.666 --> 00:24:13.001
  • He will rule them with an iron scepter.
  • 00:24:13.001 --> 00:24:15.070
  • And he treads the wine press of the fury of the wrath of
  • 00:24:15.070 --> 00:24:18.507
  • God almighty.
  • 00:24:18.507 --> 00:24:20.909
  • And on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written king of
  • 00:24:20.909 --> 00:24:24.546
  • Kings and lord of lords."
  • 00:24:24.546 --> 00:24:26.748
  • Now, i believe there's some life lessons for us in what we know
  • 00:24:30.352 --> 00:24:33.722
  • Of jesus in the book of revelation, and i'm gonna give
  • 00:24:33.722 --> 00:24:36.091
  • You the overview just for the sake of time.
  • 00:24:36.091 --> 00:24:40.529
  • We don't win ultimately the victory by violence, or by
  • 00:24:40.529 --> 00:24:45.066
  • Hatred, or by being tough and rugged.
  • 00:24:45.066 --> 00:24:49.371
  • I understand in this particular scenario, it's as if the book of
  • 00:24:49.371 --> 00:24:52.908
  • Revelation, it's a presentation.
  • 00:24:52.908 --> 00:24:56.945
  • It's like they've taped polaroids into a book.
  • 00:24:56.945 --> 00:25:00.015
  • And you see these scenes.
  • 00:25:00.015 --> 00:25:02.984
  • But it isn't written or presented to us as this one
  • 00:25:02.984 --> 00:25:05.954
  • Continuous unfolding narrative.
  • 00:25:05.954 --> 00:25:08.890
  • And there's another scene that we've seen before we see jesus
  • 00:25:08.890 --> 00:25:11.526
  • On the white horse.
  • 00:25:11.526 --> 00:25:13.094
  • We see the scene is of the throne room of god.
  • 00:25:13.094 --> 00:25:17.299
  • And john is weeping 'cause there's a scroll that contains
  • 00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:20.302
  • The end of the story which john is sharing with us by not
  • 00:25:20.302 --> 00:25:23.371
  • Revelation 19.
  • 00:25:23.371 --> 00:25:25.040
  • But the message is there's no one worthy to open the scroll
  • 00:25:25.040 --> 00:25:27.409
  • And john begins to weep.
  • 00:25:27.409 --> 00:25:30.745
  • And one of the elders says, "don't weep.
  • 00:25:30.745 --> 00:25:32.414
  • The lion of the tribe of judah has triumphed, he is worthy to
  • 00:25:32.414 --> 00:25:35.817
  • Open the scroll."
  • 00:25:35.817 --> 00:25:38.553
  • And john turns to look at the throne to see the lion of the
  • 00:25:38.553 --> 00:25:42.624
  • Tribe of judah.
  • 00:25:42.624 --> 00:25:43.992
  • Remember what it says?
  • 00:25:43.992 --> 00:25:45.327
  • He saw a lamb looking as if it had been slain.
  • 00:25:45.327 --> 00:25:50.532
  • So i believe the message for you would be the life lesson for you
  • 00:25:50.532 --> 00:25:53.702
  • And me is we win by laying our life down as jesus did.
  • 00:25:53.702 --> 00:25:59.574
  • Not by being tough.
  • 00:25:59.574 --> 00:26:02.177
  • See, i don't think you and i are gonna overcome the spirit of
  • 00:26:02.177 --> 00:26:04.245
  • Antichrist with our rugged individualism.
  • 00:26:04.245 --> 00:26:07.015

  • God doing.
  • 00:26:33.174 --> 00:26:34.542
  • We have been able to broadcast messages on television
  • 00:26:34.542 --> 00:26:37.979
  • And radio.
  • 00:26:37.979 --> 00:26:39.347
  • We have created print materials.
  • 00:26:39.347 --> 00:26:40.715
  • We published books, small group curriculum.
  • 00:26:40.715 --> 00:26:43.118
  • We're hosting a culture and christianity conference from

  • There's a tremendous opportunity.
  • 00:26:53.828 --> 00:26:56.097
  • You know, all of that is birthed out of what god put in my heart
  • 00:26:56.097 --> 00:26:58.633
  • Decades ago when jesus said, "i'll build my church and hell
  • 00:26:58.633 --> 00:27:01.903
  • Won't be able to stop it."
  • 00:27:01.903 --> 00:27:03.371
  • And then he said, "those who will gather with me, if you
