  • But there are a lot of misunderstandings and not
  • 00:00:47.097 --> 00:00:49.365
  • Knowing what the bible teaches about death can set you up for a
  • 00:00:49.365 --> 00:00:52.936
  • Major deception in the last days, and that's why our lesson
  • 00:00:52.936 --> 00:00:57.140
  • Titled "the spirits of armageddon" is a very
  • 00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:00.844
  • Important one.
  • 00:01:00.844 --> 00:01:02.178
  • Gonna start with an amazing fact.
  • 00:01:02.178 --> 00:01:03.780
  • Queen victoria of england,
  • 00:01:05.281 --> 00:01:07.317
  • She was very close to prince albert.
  • 00:01:07.317 --> 00:01:08.718
  • They had several children, but they were always intrigued by
  • 00:01:08.718 --> 00:01:12.589
  • Psychics and mediums that could ostensibly communicate with the
  • 00:01:12.589 --> 00:01:17.460
  • Dead, and they both participated in seances in the
  • 00:01:17.460 --> 00:01:22.398
  • Royal residence.
  • 00:01:22.398 --> 00:01:24.167
  • After prince albert died, there was a young man, he was a
  • 00:01:24.167 --> 00:01:28.371
  • 13-year-old medium named robert lee--robert james lee.
  • 00:01:28.371 --> 00:01:33.176
  • He claimed that during a seance he had heard from prince albert,
  • 00:01:33.176 --> 00:01:38.181
  • And he had a message for queen victoria.
  • 00:01:38.181 --> 00:01:40.917
  • And intrigued, you know, if you're gonna get a message from
  • 00:01:40.917 --> 00:01:43.286
  • Someone you love on the other side, you'll fall for almost
  • 00:01:43.286 --> 00:01:46.189
  • Anything, they invited this young man, and during the time
  • 00:01:46.189 --> 00:01:49.292
  • Of the seance, he spoke with albert's voice, and he used a
  • 00:01:49.292 --> 00:01:52.362
  • Pet name that only victoria and he were aware of.
  • 00:01:52.362 --> 00:01:57.500
  • Was this really prince albert speaking from the other side?
  • 00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:02.939
  • Victoria continued to hold these seances with various mediums,
  • 00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:06.943
  • And she was known to seek her husband's, her dead husband's,
  • 00:02:06.943 --> 00:02:10.947
  • Advice in political matters, and i think we're not surprised
  • 00:02:10.947 --> 00:02:14.884
  • By this.
  • 00:02:14.884 --> 00:02:16.219
  • A few years ago, we remember when hillary clinton visited
  • 00:02:16.219 --> 00:02:18.655
  • With a friend who was a medium and wanted to communicate with
  • 00:02:18.655 --> 00:02:21.691
  • Eleanor roosevelt.
  • 00:02:21.691 --> 00:02:23.593
  • And in order to be fair, nancy reagan, after they attempted an
  • 00:02:23.593 --> 00:02:29.265
  • Assassination of ronald reagan, she had a friend that was
  • 00:02:29.265 --> 00:02:31.568
  • Consulting his astrological charts and tried to match it up
  • 00:02:31.568 --> 00:02:34.971
  • With his schedule.
  • 00:02:34.971 --> 00:02:37.006
  • Do you know the bible says that this is going to be something
  • 00:02:37.006 --> 00:02:39.475
  • That will happen more frequently in the last days?
  • 00:02:39.475 --> 00:02:43.313
  • Now, we've been going out on the streets of the city and getting
  • 00:02:43.313 --> 00:02:47.283
  • Some information, just what do people think about death and
  • 00:02:47.283 --> 00:02:50.887
  • Communicating with the dead and resurrection.
  • 00:02:50.887 --> 00:02:53.389
  • So let's find out what our man on the street has to say on
  • 00:02:53.389 --> 00:02:56.593
  • This subject.
  • 00:02:56.593 --> 00:02:57.961
  • Male 1: our souls, our soul deteriorates.
  • 00:02:59.395 --> 00:03:01.965
  • Once we die, our soul dies with us, that's why we rot.
  • 00:03:01.965 --> 00:03:05.702
  • Female 1: some people believe in, you know, turning into
  • 00:03:05.702 --> 00:03:08.371
  • Another being, or creature, or whatever else, but i think that
  • 00:03:08.371 --> 00:03:13.309
  • Once our soul goes back into, you know, god, we just become
  • 00:03:13.309 --> 00:03:19.148
  • Part of the earth and live eternal.
  • 00:03:19.148 --> 00:03:22.452
  • Male 2: probably nothing.
  • 00:03:22.452 --> 00:03:23.853
  • You just, you disintegrate, and that's it.
  • 00:03:23.853 --> 00:03:28.124
  • Female 2: i think that we go see the angels.
  • 00:03:28.124 --> 00:03:31.995
  • I think we, i don't know, we go see heaven.
  • 00:03:31.995 --> 00:03:36.566
  • Male 3: i think our body reverts to energy.
  • 00:03:36.633 --> 00:03:40.270
  • Male 4: ghosts, they're like, i don't know, phantom
  • 00:03:40.270 --> 00:03:44.807
  • Photoplasmic beings.
  • 00:03:44.807 --> 00:03:47.110
  • Like, they don't exist within our realm, but they're able to
  • 00:03:47.110 --> 00:03:52.015
  • Come here.
  • 00:03:52.015 --> 00:03:53.349
  • And real, i'd say, yeah, i think a little bit they're real.
  • 00:03:53.349 --> 00:03:56.019
  • Female 3: oh, i don't know what they are cause i don't think
  • 00:03:56.019 --> 00:03:57.987
  • They are real.
  • 00:03:57.987 --> 00:03:59.322
  • Female 4: again, i don't know if it's real or not, but sometimes
  • 00:03:59.322 --> 00:04:03.526
  • I feel that you can feel somebody's present.
  • 00:04:03.526 --> 00:04:07.664
  • Is that a ghost or not?
  • 00:04:07.664 --> 00:04:09.666
  • I don't know.
  • 00:04:09.666 --> 00:04:11.034
  • Male 5: ghosts are paranoia, but it could be real, it could not,
  • 00:04:11.034 --> 00:04:13.836
  • Depending on the person and depending on situation.
  • 00:04:13.836 --> 00:04:16.572
  • Male 6: dead people that you can't see,
  • 00:04:16.572 --> 00:04:18.274
  • And i do believe in ghosts.
  • 00:04:18.274 --> 00:04:20.610
  • Male 7: you know, i don't, i don't think the dead can
  • 00:04:20.677 --> 00:04:23.579
  • Communicate back, but i can tell you this, at my father's eulogy,
  • 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:28.151
  • The last thing i said was, my hand on his casket, and said,
  • 00:04:28.151 --> 00:04:31.888
  • "i'll be talking to you."
  • 00:04:31.888 --> 00:04:33.256
  • Female 5: yeah, probably, it could be, you know,
  • 00:04:33.256 --> 00:04:34.924
  • A possibility.
  • 00:04:34.924 --> 00:04:36.292
  • Female 6: i'm gonna say yes 'cause i have a healthy fear
  • 00:04:36.292 --> 00:04:38.328
  • Of ghosts.
  • 00:04:38.328 --> 00:04:40.463
  • Female 7: yes, i talk to my husband every night.
  • 00:04:40.530 --> 00:04:43.666
  • Male 8: i don't know that the dead would be interested.
  • 00:04:43.733 --> 00:04:45.768
  • Male 9: yes, under certain circumstances, that it's
  • 00:04:47.603 --> 00:04:49.872
  • Possible for the living to speak with the dead because king saul
  • 00:04:49.872 --> 00:04:53.376
  • Went to the witch of endor and had the shade of the prophet
  • 00:04:53.376 --> 00:04:56.179
  • Rose in the old testament.
  • 00:04:56.179 --> 00:04:59.282
  • That's why i believe it's possible under the
  • 00:04:59.282 --> 00:05:01.751
  • Right circumstances.
  • 00:05:01.751 --> 00:05:03.119
  • Now, was he supposed to?
  • 00:05:03.119 --> 00:05:05.421
  • No.
  • 00:05:05.421 --> 00:05:06.756
  • Was it forbidden?
  • 00:05:06.756 --> 00:05:08.124
  • Yes, but it can be done.
  • 00:05:08.124 --> 00:05:11.227
  • Doug: well, the last gentleman there wasn't that far off about
  • 00:05:11.294 --> 00:05:14.564
  • Something we're gonna talk about.
  • 00:05:14.564 --> 00:05:16.165
  • I think some of the people are getting their information from
  • 00:05:16.165 --> 00:05:18.267
  • "ghostbusters" or something, but i think it's clear to everybody
  • 00:05:18.267 --> 00:05:22.872
  • There is a lot of chaos, confusion in the world out there
  • 00:05:22.872 --> 00:05:26.142
  • About what happens with that final destination.
  • 00:05:26.142 --> 00:05:29.645
  • What's going on?
  • 00:05:29.645 --> 00:05:30.980
  • Where do we get our answers?
  • 00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:33.049
  • What does the bible have to say about this?
  • 00:05:33.049 --> 00:05:35.985
  • Now, our lesson is called the "spirits of armageddon."
  • 00:05:35.985 --> 00:05:39.355
  • I want to read this to you.
  • 00:05:39.355 --> 00:05:40.723
  • If you have your bibles, go to revelation chapter 16, and if
  • 00:05:40.723 --> 00:05:45.395
  • You start with verse 12, it's talking about the sixth plague,
  • 00:05:45.395 --> 00:05:50.733
  • "and the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river
  • 00:05:50.733 --> 00:05:53.870
  • Euphrates; and its water was dried up," it is just
  • 00:05:53.870 --> 00:05:58.741
  • Interesting to me that the euphrates river is going dry,
  • 00:05:58.741 --> 00:06:02.712
  • "so the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
  • 00:06:02.712 --> 00:06:06.315
  • And i saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the
  • 00:06:06.315 --> 00:06:10.686
  • Mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
  • 00:06:10.686 --> 00:06:13.956
  • The mouth of the false prophet.
  • 00:06:13.956 --> 00:06:16.125
  • For they are the spirits of demons, performing signs,
  • 00:06:16.125 --> 00:06:20.963
  • Miracles, which go out to the kings of the earth and the whole
  • 00:06:20.963 --> 00:06:25.701
  • World, to gather them to the battle
  • 00:06:25.701 --> 00:06:28.104
  • Of the great day of god almighty."
  • 00:06:28.104 --> 00:06:30.606
  • And right after it says that, if you've got a red
  • 00:06:30.606 --> 00:06:32.575
  • Letter in your bible, the words of jesus say, "behold, i am
  • 00:06:32.575 --> 00:06:37.480
  • Coming as a thief.
  • 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.248
  • Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest they
  • 00:06:39.248 --> 00:06:42.585
  • Walk naked and see his shame."
  • 00:06:42.585 --> 00:06:44.887
  • You remember when we talked about the second coming, the
  • 00:06:44.887 --> 00:06:47.156
  • First thing christ said was, "beware that no man
  • 00:06:47.156 --> 00:06:50.693
  • Deceives you."
  • 00:06:50.693 --> 00:06:52.195
  • There's gonna be massive diabolical deception just before
  • 00:06:52.195 --> 00:06:55.998
  • The lord returns.
  • 00:06:55.998 --> 00:06:58.100
  • Now to understand our study today, you need to know
  • 00:06:58.100 --> 00:07:02.305
  • Something about a story.
  • 00:07:02.305 --> 00:07:03.706
  • It happens in the first book of samuel, chapter 28.
  • 00:07:03.706 --> 00:07:07.477
  • King saul, the first thing--first king of israel, he
  • 00:07:07.477 --> 00:07:12.315
  • Started out, god had chosen him, he's a good king, but he
  • 00:07:12.315 --> 00:07:15.618
  • Gradually became corrupted by power, and he drove away the
  • 00:07:15.618 --> 00:07:19.322
  • Holy spirit, until finally god would not answer him.
  • 00:07:19.322 --> 00:07:22.859
  • He killed the priests of god.
  • 00:07:22.859 --> 00:07:25.261
  • And then when all the philistines gathered against him
  • 00:07:25.261 --> 00:07:27.830
  • For this massive battle, he said,
  • 00:07:27.830 --> 00:07:30.433
  • "i need the priest to talk to me."
  • 00:07:30.433 --> 00:07:32.301
  • They wouldn't speak.
  • 00:07:32.301 --> 00:07:33.636
  • "i need a message from god.
  • 00:07:33.636 --> 00:07:34.971
  • Is there anything from the prophets?"
  • 00:07:34.971 --> 00:07:36.305
  • They would not speak to him.
  • 00:07:36.305 --> 00:07:37.640
  • He had grieved away the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:37.640 --> 00:07:39.141
  • So he said, "well, give me a witch to call up
  • 00:07:39.141 --> 00:07:42.311
  • The spirit of samuel."
  • 00:07:42.311 --> 00:07:45.181
  • And he went to the witch of endor, and she went through her
  • 00:07:45.181 --> 00:07:48.684
  • Incantations, and this apparition appears that claims
  • 00:07:48.684 --> 00:07:52.555
  • To be samuel and gave a totally discouraging message to king
  • 00:07:52.555 --> 00:07:57.593
  • Saul, said, "why'd you wake me up?
  • 00:07:57.593 --> 00:08:00.496
  • You're gonna be with me tomorrow, and your sons are
  • 00:08:00.496 --> 00:08:02.632
  • Gonna die because you forsook the lord, and david's gonna
  • 00:08:02.632 --> 00:08:05.868
  • Be king."
  • 00:08:05.868 --> 00:08:07.203
  • The next day in battle, they were defeated by
  • 00:08:07.203 --> 00:08:09.605
  • The philistines.
  • 00:08:09.605 --> 00:08:11.040
  • Saul wounded, discouraged, fell on his sword.
  • 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.443
  • You ever heard that expression?
  • 00:08:14.443 --> 00:08:16.646
  • He fe--he took his own life, grieved away the holy spirit
  • 00:08:16.646 --> 00:08:20.716
  • Like judas, who hung himself.
  • 00:08:20.716 --> 00:08:23.319
  • And you can read in the bible about ahitophel, who betrayed
  • 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:26.455
  • David, hung himself.
  • 00:08:26.455 --> 00:08:29.292
  • People who grieve away the spirit, sometimes they lose
  • 00:08:29.292 --> 00:08:31.761
  • All hope.
  • 00:08:31.761 --> 00:08:33.162
  • Now the question is, was that samuel the prophet?
  • 00:08:33.162 --> 00:08:37.667
  • Does a witch have the power to resurrect?
  • 00:08:37.667 --> 00:08:41.971
  • Or are there evil spirits that work miracles to deceive the
  • 00:08:41.971 --> 00:08:45.975
  • Kings of the earth before the final battle?
  • 00:08:45.975 --> 00:08:49.712
  • The story of what happened there with king saul is an allegory of
  • 00:08:49.712 --> 00:08:53.182
  • What's also going to be happening in the last days.
  • 00:08:53.182 --> 00:08:56.052
  • So, let's find out what the bible says.
  • 00:08:56.052 --> 00:08:58.120
  • Go to our questions and answers, lesson number 9 in your
  • 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.991

  • 00:09:01.991 --> 00:09:03.993
  • Was the spirit conjured by the witch really samuel the prophet?
  • 00:09:03.993 --> 00:09:08.064
  • What does the bible say?
  • 00:09:08.064 --> 00:09:10.132
  • 1 kings 22, verse 21: "then a spirit came forward and stood
  • 00:09:10.132 --> 00:09:15.171
  • Before the lord, and said...'i will go out and be a,
  • 00:09:15.171 --> 00:09:18.207
  • A lying'"--what?
  • 00:09:18.207 --> 00:09:19.909
  • Got it on your screen?
  • 00:09:19.909 --> 00:09:21.277
  • "a lying spirit in the mouth of his prophets."
  • 00:09:21.277 --> 00:09:24.981
  • Are there lying spirits out there?
  • 00:09:24.981 --> 00:09:27.750
  • A lot of people, when they say, "i think i saw a ghost," they
  • 00:09:27.750 --> 00:09:30.519
  • Saw a fallen angel that may be impersonating the dead.
  • 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:36.559
  • Let me ask you, we talked about queen victoria, prince albert,
  • 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.496
  • Did the devil know what prince albert's pet name was
  • 00:09:40.496 --> 00:09:44.166
  • For victoria?
  • 00:09:44.166 --> 00:09:45.801
  • Sure he did, the devil's got lots of inside information
  • 00:09:45.801 --> 00:09:50.239
  • About you.
  • 00:09:50.239 --> 00:09:51.641
  • Not only does god have guardian angels, you can be sure the
  • 00:09:51.641 --> 00:09:54.143
  • Devil's got angels that know you too that are trying to tempt you
  • 00:09:54.143 --> 00:09:57.179
  • And trip you up.
  • 00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:59.415
  • Bible's pretty clear.
  • 00:09:59.415 --> 00:10:00.783
  • Read in 1 chronicles 10:13: "so saul died for his unfaithfulness
  • 00:10:00.783 --> 00:10:05.988
  • Which he had committed against the lord, because he did not
  • 00:10:05.988 --> 00:10:09.058
  • Keep the word of the lord, also because he consulted a medium
  • 00:10:09.058 --> 00:10:13.896
  • For guidance."
  • 00:10:13.896 --> 00:10:15.464
  • It says it was a medium.
  • 00:10:15.464 --> 00:10:17.266
  • They communicate with evil spirits, and those evil spirits,
  • 00:10:17.266 --> 00:10:21.370
  • Satan can appear as an angel of light.
  • 00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:23.205
  • Isn't that what the bible says?
  • 00:10:23.205 --> 00:10:25.374
  • Those evil spirits can deceive.
  • 00:10:25.374 --> 00:10:27.309
  • Question number 2: through what agency will satan gather the
  • 00:10:27.309 --> 00:10:32.281
  • Armies to the final battle of armageddon?
  • 00:10:32.281 --> 00:10:35.785
  • It tells us, "i saw three unclean spirits like," what?
  • 00:10:35.785 --> 00:10:39.922
  • "frogs."
  • 00:10:39.922 --> 00:10:41.290
  • Now, you ever been bitten by a frog?
  • 00:10:41.290 --> 00:10:45.227
  • Scratched by a frog?
  • 00:10:45.227 --> 00:10:47.363
  • What's the frog's most powerful rapid weapon?
  • 00:10:47.363 --> 00:10:51.200
  • Its tongue, and it's gonna be through these messages that go
  • 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:55.237
  • Out, these spiritual messages, that's gonna deceive the world.
  • 00:10:55.237 --> 00:10:58.774
  • By the way, frogs were one of the plagues that fell on
  • 00:10:58.774 --> 00:11:00.876
  • Ancient egypt.
  • 00:11:00.876 --> 00:11:02.478
  • "three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of
  • 00:11:02.478 --> 00:11:05.548
  • The dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth
  • 00:11:05.548 --> 00:11:08.250
  • Of the false prophet.
  • 00:11:08.250 --> 00:11:09.985
  • For they are the spirits of," what?
  • 00:11:09.985 --> 00:11:12.488
  • "demons, performing signs, that go out to the kings of the
  • 00:11:12.488 --> 00:11:17.526
  • Earth," and they will claim to be deceased prophets, saints,
  • 00:11:17.526 --> 00:11:21.464
  • And apostles, and they're gonna be manipulating world leaders to
  • 00:11:21.464 --> 00:11:25.201
  • Make decisions that will bring about the final battle of
  • 00:11:25.201 --> 00:11:28.070
  • Armageddon, "to gather them to the battle of that great day of
  • 00:11:28.070 --> 00:11:33.142
  • God..and they gathered them together in a place called in
  • 00:11:33.142 --> 00:11:35.811
  • The hebrew tongue, armageddon."
  • 00:11:35.811 --> 00:11:37.747
  • Now, armageddon is a word appears one time in the bible.
  • 00:11:37.747 --> 00:11:41.517
  • It's found there in genesis--i'm sorry, revelation chapter 16.
  • 00:11:41.517 --> 00:11:46.021
  • But the valley of megiddo, we believe har megiddo means the
  • 00:11:46.021 --> 00:11:49.825
  • Mount of megiddo, there's a mountain up above megiddo, and
  • 00:11:49.825 --> 00:11:55.364
  • This great valley, many pivotal battles happened there,
  • 00:11:55.364 --> 00:11:59.235
  • Including the battle where saul died, the battle where king
  • 00:11:59.235 --> 00:12:03.072
  • Josiah died, the battle where gideon--by the way, gideon
  • 00:12:03.072 --> 00:12:07.343
  • Fought against a threefold alliance in the valley of
  • 00:12:07.343 --> 00:12:11.113
  • Megiddo, it says that the midianites, and the amalekites,
  • 00:12:11.113 --> 00:12:15.684
  • And the people of the east, a three-fold enemy.
  • 00:12:15.684 --> 00:12:18.354
  • Revelation talks about the beast, the dragon, the
  • 00:12:18.354 --> 00:12:20.556
  • False prophet.
  • 00:12:20.556 --> 00:12:21.957
  • And gideon fought with the armor of god, and he won the battle.
  • 00:12:21.957 --> 00:12:26.695
  • He blew a trumpet, "lift up thy voice like a trumpet," the word
  • 00:12:26.695 --> 00:12:30.699
  • Of god.
  • 00:12:30.699 --> 00:12:32.101
  • "pull out a sword," said the sword of the lord.
  • 00:12:32.101 --> 00:12:34.537
  • "the word of god is sharper than any two-edged sword."
  • 00:12:34.537 --> 00:12:37.106
  • They broke the pitchers, and the lamp was shining, "thy word is a
  • 00:12:37.106 --> 00:12:41.110
  • Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."
  • 00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:43.679
  • How do we win the battle of armageddon?
  • 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.148
  • By the word of god, "thy word i've hidden in my heart that i
  • 00:12:46.148 --> 00:12:49.018
  • Might not sin against thee."
  • 00:12:49.018 --> 00:12:50.553
  • Friends, there's a lot of distractions in the world today,
  • 00:12:50.553 --> 00:12:53.589
  • Christians need to read their bibles, amen?
  • 00:12:53.589 --> 00:12:56.625
  • The word of god has not changed, our weapon has not changed.
  • 00:12:56.625 --> 00:12:59.628
  • We need to know what the word of god says.
  • 00:12:59.628 --> 00:13:01.430
  • Number 3: do the dead come back to converse with or haunt
  • 00:13:01.430 --> 00:13:06.936
  • The living?
  • 00:13:06.936 --> 00:13:08.270
  • If you believe the people on the streets, they think, a lot of
  • 00:13:08.270 --> 00:13:10.739
  • Them think, "oh yeah."
  • 00:13:10.739 --> 00:13:12.741
  • But where we get our answer, man on the street or the bible?
  • 00:13:12.741 --> 00:13:18.047
  • The word of god is where you find truth.
  • 00:13:18.047 --> 00:13:20.783
  • Do the dead come back to haunt the living?
  • 00:13:20.783 --> 00:13:22.551
  • What does the bible say?
  • 00:13:22.551 --> 00:13:24.053
  • Job, speaking of someone who had died, "his sons come to honor,
  • 00:13:24.053 --> 00:13:28.090
  • And he does not know it; they're brought low, and he does not
  • 00:13:28.090 --> 00:13:33.529
  • Perceive it."
  • 00:13:33.529 --> 00:13:35.264
  • Now, my father's mother, grandma batchelor, was a, a dedicated
  • 00:13:35.264 --> 00:13:42.771
  • Christian, and she went to church, and i hope to see her in
  • 00:13:42.771 --> 00:13:46.909
  • The kingdom.
  • 00:13:46.909 --> 00:13:48.277
  • And if suddenly grandma batchelor should appear and say,
  • 00:13:48.277 --> 00:13:52.514
  • "doug, i've got messages for you."
  • 00:13:52.514 --> 00:13:55.684
  • Here, you get the cemetery.
  • 00:13:55.684 --> 00:13:58.087
  • Poof, there's grandma batchelor, okay?
  • 00:13:58.087 --> 00:14:01.323
  • And she said, "doug, i need to tell you that you don't need to
  • 00:14:01.323 --> 00:14:04.627
  • Worry so much about the bible because things have changed and
  • 00:14:04.627 --> 00:14:08.564
  • The bible's an old book.
  • 00:14:08.564 --> 00:14:09.932
  • It's gone from person to person, and it's been changed over time,
  • 00:14:09.932 --> 00:14:12.368
  • And you can't really trust it.
  • 00:14:12.368 --> 00:14:14.169
  • Everybody's gonna make it to heaven, just live the way you
  • 00:14:14.169 --> 00:14:16.739
  • Wanna live."
  • 00:14:16.739 --> 00:14:18.574
  • Should i believe what grandma batchelor says to me through an
  • 00:14:18.574 --> 00:14:21.076
  • Apparition or should i believe the word of god?
  • 00:14:21.076 --> 00:14:24.713
  • But it looked just like grandma batchelor, and it sounded just
  • 00:14:24.713 --> 00:14:29.985
  • Like her, and it even smelled a little bit like
  • 00:14:29.985 --> 00:14:33.489
  • Grandma batchelor.
  • 00:14:33.489 --> 00:14:35.324
  • Does the devil know all about grandma batchelor?
  • 00:14:35.324 --> 00:14:39.094
  • Don't be deceived, because the devil can create illusions.
  • 00:14:39.094 --> 00:14:41.964
  • Now someone's gonna say, "oh, pastor doug, my departed loved
  • 00:14:41.964 --> 00:14:46.001
  • Ones, i just sense their presence, and it's so powerful."
  • 00:14:46.001 --> 00:14:51.140
  • That's normal.
  • 00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:52.908
  • You know, if you're married to someone for 50 years, and then
  • 00:14:52.908 --> 00:14:55.744
  • They die, and you find yourself feeling their presence, your
  • 00:14:55.744 --> 00:15:02.551
  • Mind is absolutely saturated with memories of that person,
  • 00:15:02.551 --> 00:15:06.322
  • And it's gonna be normal to think of them.
  • 00:15:06.322 --> 00:15:09.291
  • I remember years after my brother died, i always had
  • 00:15:09.291 --> 00:15:11.961
  • Falcon on auto dial, i'd just press one button, and i'd talk
  • 00:15:11.961 --> 00:15:15.331
  • To him, and we'd visit and hang up, and, and even after he died,
  • 00:15:15.331 --> 00:15:19.034
  • I didn't have the heart to delete his messages to me.
  • 00:15:19.034 --> 00:15:24.106
  • And one day, i picked up the phone to call him and i had
  • 00:15:24.106 --> 00:15:28.043
  • Forgotten that he was dead.
  • 00:15:28.043 --> 00:15:30.779
  • I don't know if any of you have had that experience.
  • 00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:32.982
  • I know saints that are married for years, and they have a
  • 00:15:32.982 --> 00:15:36.251
  • Problem, and they call down the hall, "jack, can you come give
  • 00:15:36.251 --> 00:15:38.354
  • Me a hand?"
  • 00:15:38.354 --> 00:15:39.722
  • And they forgot jack's been dead ten years.
  • 00:15:39.722 --> 00:15:42.791
  • They, and they felt his presence.
  • 00:15:42.791 --> 00:15:44.727
  • Well, you feel their presence because your brain is filled
  • 00:15:44.727 --> 00:15:46.862
  • With the person, but what does the bible say?
  • 00:15:46.862 --> 00:15:50.499
  • The bible says they're asleep.
  • 00:15:50.499 --> 00:15:53.902
  • Ecclesiastes 9, verse 5, do we believe the wisest man who ever
  • 00:15:53.902 --> 00:15:57.573
  • Lived, solomon?
  • 00:15:57.573 --> 00:15:59.575
  • "for the living know that they will die; but the dead," how
  • 00:15:59.575 --> 00:16:04.079
  • Much do they know?
  • 00:16:04.079 --> 00:16:05.881
  • "know nothing, they have no more a reward for the me"--meaning in
  • 00:16:05.881 --> 00:16:10.719
  • This life, "they have no more a reward, for the memory of them
  • 00:16:10.719 --> 00:16:13.722
  • Is forgotten.
  • 00:16:13.722 --> 00:16:15.057
  • Also their love, their hatred."
  • 00:16:15.057 --> 00:16:16.425
  • If you've got someone that hated you and they died, you don't
  • 00:16:16.425 --> 00:16:18.861
  • Have to worry about them haunting you.
  • 00:16:18.861 --> 00:16:22.364
  • Their love, their hatred, their envy has now perished.
  • 00:16:22.364 --> 00:16:28.137
  • And you know, it is very liberating once you realize that
  • 00:16:28.137 --> 00:16:30.672
  • The dead are dead and they're not gonna bother you.
  • 00:16:30.672 --> 00:16:32.975
  • I don't worry about evil spirits.
  • 00:16:32.975 --> 00:16:35.277
  • I've got christ, "greater is he that is in you, than he."
  • 00:16:35.277 --> 00:16:37.913
  • Some people live in absolute fear of the devil, and fallen
  • 00:16:37.913 --> 00:16:40.349
  • Angels, and ghosts, and that is awful.
  • 00:16:40.349 --> 00:16:43.485
  • I can walk through a cemetery in the middle of the night and all
  • 00:16:43.485 --> 00:16:45.854
  • I have to worry about is tripping.
  • 00:16:45.854 --> 00:16:48.590
  • I'm not scared those people are gonna come bother me,
  • 00:16:48.590 --> 00:16:52.127
  • They're dead.
  • 00:16:52.127 --> 00:16:53.929
  • Have you ever gone through a cemetery and read some of
  • 00:16:53.929 --> 00:16:56.265
  • The tombstones?
  • 00:16:56.265 --> 00:16:58.767
  • It's very interesting some of the, the scenes you might find.
  • 00:16:58.767 --> 00:17:02.538
  • Oh, i had a little list, do i still have it here?
  • 00:17:02.538 --> 00:17:04.139
  • Yeah.
  • 00:17:04.139 --> 00:17:05.641
  • I remember one guy, he put on his tombstone, "stop, my friend,
  • 00:17:05.641 --> 00:17:11.613
  • As you go by.
  • 00:17:11.613 --> 00:17:13.849
  • As you are now, so once was i. as i am now, you soon shall be.
  • 00:17:13.849 --> 00:17:22.091
  • Prepare yourself to follow me."
  • 00:17:22.091 --> 00:17:26.528
  • Well, a young man was walking through the cemetery one day
  • 00:17:26.528 --> 00:17:29.565
  • Coming home from school and he read that, and he pulled a
  • 00:17:29.565 --> 00:17:31.834
  • Crayon out of his bag, and he wrote on the tombstone, "to
  • 00:17:31.834 --> 00:17:35.737
  • Follow you, i'm not content until i know just where
  • 00:17:35.737 --> 00:17:38.874
  • You went."
  • 00:17:38.874 --> 00:17:40.275
  • Some people have a sense of humor even on their tombstones.
  • 00:17:43.245 --> 00:17:47.783
  • I think it was dr. james dobson said that his father told his
  • 00:17:47.783 --> 00:17:52.321
  • Mother, "when i die, i want you to put on my tombstone,
  • 00:17:52.321 --> 00:17:55.290
  • 'i told her i was sick.'"
  • 00:17:55.290 --> 00:17:59.728
  • "here lies the body," this is really on a tombstone
  • 00:17:59.728 --> 00:18:02.364
  • In nantucket, massachusetts, "here lies the
  • 00:18:02.364 --> 00:18:05.000
  • Body of old man peas, buried beneath the flower and trees,
  • 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:10.239
  • But peas ain't here, just the pod.
  • 00:18:10.239 --> 00:18:13.208
  • Peas shelled out, and he went to god."
  • 00:18:13.208 --> 00:18:17.513
  • It's not theologically completely correct.
  • 00:18:17.513 --> 00:18:20.015
  • You know, a lot of them actually say rip.
  • 00:18:20.015 --> 00:18:21.817
  • What does rip stand for?
  • 00:18:21.817 --> 00:18:24.253
  • Rest in peace, that is more theologically correct.
  • 00:18:24.253 --> 00:18:26.655
  • What happens when a person dies?
  • 00:18:26.655 --> 00:18:28.423
  • They're sleeping, a dreamless sleep.
  • 00:18:28.423 --> 00:18:30.626
  • You can read in ecclesiastes 9, verse 10, "nevermore will they
  • 00:18:30.626 --> 00:18:35.564
  • Share in anything done under the sun...for there is no more work
  • 00:18:35.564 --> 00:18:41.036
  • Or device or," what?
  • 00:18:41.036 --> 00:18:43.372
  • "knowledge or wisdom in the grave," where you go.
  • 00:18:43.372 --> 00:18:47.442
  • Psalm 146, "put not your trust in princes, neither in the son
  • 00:18:47.442 --> 00:18:51.346
  • Of man, in whom there is no help.
  • 00:18:51.346 --> 00:18:52.981
  • His breath goes forth, and that very day his thoughts perish."
  • 00:18:52.981 --> 00:18:57.252
  • I could go through 50 scriptures right now, there's just no time.
  • 00:18:57.252 --> 00:19:00.389
  • Psalm 6, verse 5: "in death there is no remembrance of you."
  • 00:19:00.389 --> 00:19:04.860
  • "the dead do not praise the lord," psalm 115, verse 17.
  • 00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:08.664
  • "he shall never return to his house."
  • 00:19:08.664 --> 00:19:12.100
  • Now, friends, i know some of you are thinking, doesn't the body
  • 00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:15.270
  • Say--doesn't the bible say in 2 corinthians chapter 5, "to be
  • 00:19:15.270 --> 00:19:20.108
  • Absent from the body is to be present with the lord?"
  • 00:19:20.108 --> 00:19:23.879
  • That's true, when a believer dies, their next conscious
  • 00:19:23.879 --> 00:19:29.418
  • Thought is the resurrection and the presence of the lord.
  • 00:19:29.418 --> 00:19:34.890
  • But 1,000 years might have gone by, they're not there yet.
  • 00:19:34.890 --> 00:19:38.594
  • For them, it's like that, in a moment, in the twinkling of
  • 00:19:38.594 --> 00:19:42.030
  • An eye.
  • 00:19:42.030 --> 00:19:43.398
  • But the bible's pretty clear.
  • 00:19:43.398 --> 00:19:44.766
  • Is the resurrection past or is it future?
  • 00:19:44.766 --> 00:19:47.236
  • Read john chapter 6.
  • 00:19:47.236 --> 00:19:48.570
  • It says over and over, the resurrection,
  • 00:19:48.570 --> 00:19:50.305
  • The last day, the resurrection, the last day, it's in
  • 00:19:50.305 --> 00:19:52.574
  • The future.
  • 00:19:52.574 --> 00:19:53.942
  • That's when we get our rewards.
  • 00:19:53.942 --> 00:19:55.277
  • Can you say amen?
  • 00:19:55.277 --> 00:19:57.312
  • Number 4: according to the book of revelation, who has the keys
  • 00:19:57.312 --> 00:20:01.850
  • Of death?
  • 00:20:01.850 --> 00:20:03.685
  • Revelation 1:18: "i am he who lives, and i was dead, and
  • 00:20:03.685 --> 00:20:10.859
  • Behold, i am alive forevermore.
  • 00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:13.161
  • Amen.
  • 00:20:13.161 --> 00:20:14.529
  • And i've got the keys of hades," that means the grave,
  • 00:20:14.529 --> 00:20:16.898
  • "and death."
  • 00:20:16.898 --> 00:20:18.267
  • The last enemy to be cast in the lake of fire is the grave
  • 00:20:18.267 --> 00:20:21.403
  • And death.
  • 00:20:21.403 --> 00:20:22.771
  • There will be no more death, but the dead are not haunting,
  • 00:20:22.771 --> 00:20:27.809
  • They're sleeping.
  • 00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:29.177
  • And the reason we emphasize this in a prophecy seminar is because
  • 00:20:29.177 --> 00:20:32.381
  • The devil and his demons are going to use this
  • 00:20:32.381 --> 00:20:35.384
  • Misunderstanding to manipulate the world in the last days with
  • 00:20:35.384 --> 00:20:39.921
  • The great masterpiece of deception, because they don't
  • 00:20:39.921 --> 00:20:43.625
  • Know that the dead are dead, and a lot of people try to
  • 00:20:43.625 --> 00:20:45.527
  • Communicate with the dead.
  • 00:20:45.527 --> 00:20:46.895
  • Do you know the bible very explicitly forbids that.
  • 00:20:46.895 --> 00:20:50.832
  • We'll get to those verses in just a minute.
  • 00:20:50.832 --> 00:20:52.834
  • If you wanna know something about what happens when you die
  • 00:20:52.834 --> 00:20:55.604
  • In life, look at how god made us in the beginning.
  • 00:20:55.604 --> 00:20:59.775
  • Question number 5: how did god make man in the beginning?
  • 00:20:59.775 --> 00:21:03.779
  • It says, "and the lord god formed man from the," the what?
  • 00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:08.517
  • "the dust of the ground, and he breathed into his nostrils the
  • 00:21:08.517 --> 00:21:13.722
  • Breath of life," that word life there, that breath is "ruach" in
  • 00:21:13.722 --> 00:21:18.527
  • Hebrew, "the breath of life; and man became a living being."
  • 00:21:18.527 --> 00:21:23.265
  • So you get the elements of earth, god puts him in the right
  • 00:21:23.265 --> 00:21:26.401
  • Position, he inspires man with this power, this energy, this
  • 00:21:26.401 --> 00:21:31.673
  • Breath of life, and they became a living being.
  • 00:21:31.673 --> 00:21:34.943
  • They're conscious, they're alert, they're thinking.
  • 00:21:34.943 --> 00:21:37.412
  • Adam was different from most babies born in that adam, when
  • 00:21:37.412 --> 00:21:40.182
  • He was made, he came factory preinstalled with the ability to
  • 00:21:40.182 --> 00:21:45.120
  • Walk, and talk, and think, right?
  • 00:21:45.120 --> 00:21:47.222
  • He had a certain amount of knowledge that he was made with.
  • 00:21:47.222 --> 00:21:50.625
  • He was not made a baby, he was made a full-grown man, and he
  • 00:21:50.625 --> 00:21:54.096
  • Was made in the image of god.
  • 00:21:54.096 --> 00:21:56.598
  • And when a person dies, you've got creation in reverse.
  • 00:21:56.598 --> 00:22:01.436
  • What happens at death?
  • 00:22:01.436 --> 00:22:02.771
  • Question number 6.
  • 00:22:02.771 --> 00:22:04.873
  • "then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
  • 00:22:04.873 --> 00:22:09.044
  • And the spirit," that's the same word as breath, it's
  • 00:22:09.044 --> 00:22:12.647
  • The word ruach, "and the breath will return to god who gave it."
  • 00:22:12.647 --> 00:22:17.953
  • By the way, ecclesiastes said not just the breath of people,
  • 00:22:17.953 --> 00:22:21.490
  • Not just the breath of the saved, the breath of the saved,
  • 00:22:21.490 --> 00:22:24.459
  • The breath of the lost, the breath of animals, the breath of
  • 00:22:24.459 --> 00:22:27.062
  • Life, of all creatures returns to god.
  • 00:22:27.062 --> 00:22:31.166
  • It is not saying that word "spirit" is a little conscious
  • 00:22:31.166 --> 00:22:34.403
  • Ghost that flies out of a person when they die and goes off
  • 00:22:34.403 --> 00:22:37.873
  • Roaming around looking for a place until the resurrection.
  • 00:22:37.873 --> 00:22:40.909
  • It simply means the power of life.
  • 00:22:40.909 --> 00:22:44.112
  • Right now, this building, this studio is illuminated with all
  • 00:22:44.112 --> 00:22:47.582
  • These lights, and apparatus, and devices through the energy
  • 00:22:47.582 --> 00:22:51.620
  • Of electricity.
  • 00:22:51.620 --> 00:22:53.188
  • If heaven forbid someone should kill the switch and everything
  • 00:22:53.188 --> 00:22:56.825
  • Went dark, i would say, he might not hear me without the pa, but
  • 00:22:56.825 --> 00:23:01.029
  • I'd say, "where did the light go?
  • 00:23:01.029 --> 00:23:03.965
  • Where'd the power go?"
  • 00:23:03.965 --> 00:23:05.300
  • It's back at the power plant where it came from.
  • 00:23:05.300 --> 00:23:07.335
  • That one power operates many devices.
  • 00:23:07.335 --> 00:23:10.639
  • It gives life to these things.
  • 00:23:10.639 --> 00:23:13.642
  • Well, that's the breath of life that you find in the bible.
  • 00:23:13.642 --> 00:23:16.044
  • Let me give you more proof.
  • 00:23:16.044 --> 00:23:17.746
  • Job says, "all the while that god is with me and the breath,
  • 00:23:17.746 --> 00:23:23.118
  • The spirit of life is in my nostrils."
  • 00:23:23.118 --> 00:23:27.689
  • The spirit, it's the same word.
  • 00:23:27.689 --> 00:23:29.791
  • Do you have a ghost in your nose?
  • 00:23:29.791 --> 00:23:32.761
  • We hope not.
  • 00:23:32.761 --> 00:23:35.764
  • The very fact he says the spirit of god is in my nostrils, he's
  • 00:23:35.764 --> 00:23:40.135
  • In the breath of god.
  • 00:23:40.135 --> 00:23:41.970
  • In hebrew, the word is "ruach."
  • 00:23:41.970 --> 00:23:45.507
  • In greek, it's the word "pneuma."
  • 00:23:45.507 --> 00:23:49.077
  • When someone has trouble breathing, they call
  • 00:23:49.077 --> 00:23:50.779
  • It pneumonia.
  • 00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:52.948
  • And you men, if you've ever used those air-powered tools, they're
  • 00:23:52.948 --> 00:23:56.985
  • Called pneumatic.
  • 00:23:56.985 --> 00:23:59.154
  • It's because it's wind, pneuma, comes from that greek word.
  • 00:23:59.154 --> 00:24:02.290
  • And so, often in the bible, when it uses the word spirit, people
  • 00:24:02.290 --> 00:24:05.627
  • Think it's talking about a ghost, and it's talking about
  • 00:24:05.627 --> 00:24:08.096
  • The breath of life, that the wind.
  • 00:24:08.096 --> 00:24:11.766
  • The bible teaches that the "spirit" that returns to god is
  • 00:24:11.766 --> 00:24:14.903
  • Simply the breath of life, that god breathed into man at
  • 00:24:14.903 --> 00:24:17.939
  • The beginning.
  • 00:24:17.939 --> 00:24:19.274
  • You can look in james 2:26, job 27, verse 3, and others.
  • 00:24:19.274 --> 00:24:24.179
  • "take away their breath, and they die and return to
  • 00:24:24.179 --> 00:24:26.982
  • Their dust.
  • 00:24:26.982 --> 00:24:28.350
  • You send forth your spirit [your breath], and they are created."
  • 00:24:28.350 --> 00:24:32.320
  • This is what it's talking about.
  • 00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:33.655
  • Number 7: where do the dead go when they die?
  • 00:24:33.655 --> 00:24:38.059
  • Don't we go somewhere?
  • 00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:39.794
  • Yeah, you know where they go?
  • 00:24:39.794 --> 00:24:42.497
  • You've probably seen it before.
  • 00:24:42.497 --> 00:24:44.165
  • They go to the tombstones.
  • 00:24:44.165 --> 00:24:46.401
  • They go to the cemetery.
  • 00:24:46.401 --> 00:24:48.003
  • It says, "yet he will be brought to the," what?
  • 00:24:48.003 --> 00:24:51.940
  • "the grave, and a vigil kept over the tomb."
  • 00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:56.778
  • Listen to the words of jesus in john chapter 5:28-29: "all who
  • 00:24:56.778 --> 00:25:01.750
  • Are," where?
  • 00:25:01.750 --> 00:25:03.351
  • "in their graves will hear his voice."
  • 00:25:03.351 --> 00:25:06.454
  • Where are they now?
  • 00:25:06.454 --> 00:25:08.056
  • Where did jesus say they are?
  • 00:25:08.056 --> 00:25:10.091
  • Did he say they're in abraham's bosom?
  • 00:25:10.091 --> 00:25:11.960
  • Did he say they're in limbo?
  • 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:13.328
  • Did he say they're in purgatory?
  • 00:25:13.328 --> 00:25:15.630
  • When he comes again, he said, "when i come, all that are in
  • 00:25:15.630 --> 00:25:19.267
  • Their graves will hear his voice," that's when they hear
  • 00:25:19.267 --> 00:25:21.570
  • His voice.
  • 00:25:21.570 --> 00:25:22.938
  • He says, "come forth."
  • 00:25:22.938 --> 00:25:24.306
  • Now, how long does it feel for them?
  • 00:25:24.306 --> 00:25:27.108
  • Instant!
  • 00:25:27.108 --> 00:25:28.443
  • To be absent from the body, no consciousness of time, present
  • 00:25:28.443 --> 00:25:32.714
  • With the lord.
  • 00:25:32.714 --> 00:25:34.316
  • But the bible says that the lord descends from heaven and then
  • 00:25:34.316 --> 00:25:37.452
  • The dead in christ rise, amen?
  • 00:25:37.452 --> 00:25:40.121
  • And we're caught up to meet him in the air.
  • 00:25:40.121 --> 00:25:42.390
  • Doug: friends, i hope you've been blessed by today's message,
  • 00:25:42.457 --> 00:25:44.859
  • But really the reason we do this is so that people might
  • 00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:47.662
  • Know christ.
  • 00:25:47.662 --> 00:25:49.030
  • You know, information is not gonna save us.
  • 00:25:49.030 --> 00:25:51.099
  • It's a relationship with jesus, the one who died on the cross
  • 00:25:51.099 --> 00:25:54.169
  • For your sins.
  • 00:25:54.169 --> 00:25:55.503
  • You must personally accept him, and that's the most important
  • 00:25:55.503 --> 00:25:58.473
  • Thing and why we do these programs.
  • 00:25:58.473 --> 00:26:00.609
  • If you've not asked him into your heart before, then i'd
  • 00:26:00.609 --> 00:26:03.278
  • Encourage you to do it right now.
  • 00:26:03.278 --> 00:26:04.946
  • His arms are open wide.
  • 00:26:04.946 --> 00:26:06.748
  • Just come to him as you are and ask him.
  • 00:26:06.748 --> 00:26:09.951
  • Doug: hi, friends, i trust you're being blessed by what
  • 00:26:10.018 --> 00:26:12.153
  • You're watching.
  • 00:26:12.153 --> 00:26:13.488

  • Doug: today we've learned what the bible really
  • 00:26:39.748 --> 00:26:41.916
  • Says about the subject of death to help you avoid the devil's
  • 00:26:41.916 --> 00:26:45.687
  • Deceptions, but there's much more to discover, so i hope that
