  • 00:00:35.184 --> 00:00:37.419

  • Peace, it's temporary, amen?
  • 00:00:44.226 --> 00:00:47.096
  • But there are a lot of misunderstandings and not
  • 00:00:47.096 --> 00:00:49.364
  • Knowing what the bible teaches about death can set you up for a
  • 00:00:49.364 --> 00:00:52.935
  • Major deception in the last days, and that's why our lesson
  • 00:00:52.935 --> 00:00:57.139
  • Titled "the spirits of armageddon" is a very
  • 00:00:57.139 --> 00:01:00.843
  • Important one.
  • 00:01:00.843 --> 00:01:02.177
  • Gonna start with an amazing fact.
  • 00:01:02.177 --> 00:01:03.779
  • Queen victoria of england,
  • 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.316
  • She was very close to prince albert.
  • 00:01:07.316 --> 00:01:08.717
  • They had several children, but they were always intrigued by
  • 00:01:08.717 --> 00:01:12.588
  • Psychics and mediums that could ostensibly communicate with the
  • 00:01:12.588 --> 00:01:17.459
  • Dead, and they both participated in seances in the
  • 00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:22.397
  • Royal residence.
  • 00:01:22.397 --> 00:01:24.166
  • After prince albert died, there was a young man, he was a
  • 00:01:24.166 --> 00:01:28.370
  • 13-year-old medium named robert lee--robert james lee.
  • 00:01:28.370 --> 00:01:33.175
  • He claimed that during a seance he had heard from prince albert,
  • 00:01:33.175 --> 00:01:38.180
  • And he had a message for queen victoria.
  • 00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:40.916
  • And intrigued, you know, if you're gonna get a message from
  • 00:01:40.916 --> 00:01:43.285
  • Someone you love on the other side, you'll fall for almost
  • 00:01:43.285 --> 00:01:46.188
  • Anything, they invited this young man, and during the time
  • 00:01:46.188 --> 00:01:49.291
  • Of the seance, he spoke with albert's voice, and he used a
  • 00:01:49.291 --> 00:01:52.361
  • Pet name that only victoria and he were aware of.
  • 00:01:52.361 --> 00:01:57.499
  • Was this really prince albert speaking from the other side?
  • 00:01:57.499 --> 00:02:02.938
  • Victoria continued to hold these seances with various mediums,
  • 00:02:02.938 --> 00:02:06.942
  • And she was known to seek her husband's, her dead husband's,
  • 00:02:06.942 --> 00:02:10.946
  • Advice in political matters, and i think we're not surprised
  • 00:02:10.946 --> 00:02:14.883
  • By this.
  • 00:02:14.883 --> 00:02:16.218
  • A few years ago, we remember when hillary clinton visited
  • 00:02:16.218 --> 00:02:18.654
  • With a friend who was a medium and wanted to communicate with
  • 00:02:18.654 --> 00:02:21.690
  • Eleanor roosevelt.
  • 00:02:21.690 --> 00:02:23.592
  • And in order to be fair, nancy reagan, after they attempted an
  • 00:02:23.592 --> 00:02:29.264
  • Assassination of ronald reagan, she had a friend that was
  • 00:02:29.264 --> 00:02:31.567
  • Consulting his astrological charts and tried to match it up
  • 00:02:31.567 --> 00:02:34.970
  • With his schedule.
  • 00:02:34.970 --> 00:02:37.005
  • Do you know the bible says that this is going to be something
  • 00:02:37.005 --> 00:02:39.474
  • That will happen more frequently in the last days?
  • 00:02:39.474 --> 00:02:43.312
  • Now, we've been going out on the streets of the city and getting
  • 00:02:43.312 --> 00:02:47.282
  • Some information, just what do people think about death and
  • 00:02:47.282 --> 00:02:50.886
  • Communicating with the dead and resurrection.
  • 00:02:50.886 --> 00:02:53.388
  • So let's find out what our man on the street has to say on
  • 00:02:53.388 --> 00:02:56.592
  • This subject.
  • 00:02:56.592 --> 00:02:57.960
  • Male 1: our souls, our soul deteriorates.
  • 00:02:59.394 --> 00:03:01.964
  • Once we die, our soul dies with us, that's why we rot.
  • 00:03:01.964 --> 00:03:05.701
  • Female 1: some people believe in, you know, turning into
  • 00:03:05.701 --> 00:03:08.370
  • Another being, or creature, or whatever else, but i think that
  • 00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:13.308
  • Once our soul goes back into, you know, god, we just become
  • 00:03:13.308 --> 00:03:19.147
  • Part of the earth and live eternal.
  • 00:03:19.147 --> 00:03:22.451
  • Male 2: probably nothing.
  • 00:03:22.451 --> 00:03:23.852
  • You just, you disintegrate, and that's it.
  • 00:03:23.852 --> 00:03:28.123
  • Female 2: i think that we go see the angels.
  • 00:03:28.123 --> 00:03:31.994
  • I think we, i don't know, we go see heaven.
  • 00:03:31.994 --> 00:03:36.565
  • Male 3: i think our body reverts to energy.
  • 00:03:36.632 --> 00:03:40.269
  • Male 4: ghosts, they're like, i don't know, phantom
  • 00:03:40.269 --> 00:03:44.806
  • Photoplasmic beings.
  • 00:03:44.806 --> 00:03:47.109
  • Like, they don't exist within our realm, but they're able to
  • 00:03:47.109 --> 00:03:52.014
  • Come here.
  • 00:03:52.014 --> 00:03:53.348
  • And real, i'd say, yeah, i think a little bit they're real.
  • 00:03:53.348 --> 00:03:56.018
  • Female 3: oh, i don't know what they are cause i don't think
  • 00:03:56.018 --> 00:03:57.986
  • They are real.
  • 00:03:57.986 --> 00:03:59.321
  • Female 4: again, i don't know if it's real or not, but sometimes
  • 00:03:59.321 --> 00:04:03.525
  • I feel that you can feel somebody's present.
  • 00:04:03.525 --> 00:04:07.663
  • Is that a ghost or not?
  • 00:04:07.663 --> 00:04:09.665
  • I don't know.
  • 00:04:09.665 --> 00:04:11.033
  • Male 5: ghosts are paranoia, but it could be real, it could not,
  • 00:04:11.033 --> 00:04:13.835
  • Depending on the person and depending on situation.
  • 00:04:13.835 --> 00:04:16.571
  • Male 6: dead people that you can't see,
  • 00:04:16.571 --> 00:04:18.273
  • And i do believe in ghosts.
  • 00:04:18.273 --> 00:04:20.609
  • Male 7: you know, i don't, i don't think the dead can
  • 00:04:20.676 --> 00:04:23.578
  • Communicate back, but i can tell you this, at my father's eulogy,
  • 00:04:23.578 --> 00:04:28.150
  • The last thing i said was, my hand on his casket, and said,
  • 00:04:28.150 --> 00:04:31.887
  • "i'll be talking to you."
  • 00:04:31.887 --> 00:04:33.255
  • Female 5: yeah, probably, it could be, you know,
  • 00:04:33.255 --> 00:04:34.923
  • A possibility.
  • 00:04:34.923 --> 00:04:36.291
  • Female 6: i'm gonna say yes 'cause i have a healthy fear
  • 00:04:36.291 --> 00:04:38.327
  • Of ghosts.
  • 00:04:38.327 --> 00:04:40.462
  • Female 7: yes, i talk to my husband every night.
  • 00:04:40.529 --> 00:04:43.665
  • Male 8: i don't know that the dead would be interested.
  • 00:04:43.732 --> 00:04:45.767
  • Male 9: yes, under certain circumstances, that it's
  • 00:04:47.602 --> 00:04:49.871
  • Possible for the living to speak with the dead because king saul
  • 00:04:49.871 --> 00:04:53.375
  • Went to the witch of endor and had the shade of the prophet
  • 00:04:53.375 --> 00:04:56.178
  • Rose in the old testament.
  • 00:04:56.178 --> 00:04:59.281
  • That's why i believe it's possible under the
  • 00:04:59.281 --> 00:05:01.750
  • Right circumstances.
  • 00:05:01.750 --> 00:05:03.118
  • Now, was he supposed to?
  • 00:05:03.118 --> 00:05:05.420
  • No.
  • 00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:06.755
  • Was it forbidden?
  • 00:05:06.755 --> 00:05:08.123
  • Yes, but it can be done.
  • 00:05:08.123 --> 00:05:11.226
  • Doug: well, the last gentleman there wasn't that far off about
  • 00:05:11.293 --> 00:05:14.563
  • Something we're gonna talk about.
  • 00:05:14.563 --> 00:05:16.164
  • I think some of the people are getting their information from
  • 00:05:16.164 --> 00:05:18.266
  • "ghostbusters" or something, but i think it's clear to everybody
  • 00:05:18.266 --> 00:05:22.871
  • There is a lot of chaos, confusion in the world out there
  • 00:05:22.871 --> 00:05:26.141
  • About what happens with that final destination.
  • 00:05:26.141 --> 00:05:29.644
  • What's going on?
  • 00:05:29.644 --> 00:05:30.979
  • Where do we get our answers?
  • 00:05:30.979 --> 00:05:33.048
  • What does the bible have to say about this?
  • 00:05:33.048 --> 00:05:35.984
  • Now, our lesson is called the "spirits of armageddon."
  • 00:05:35.984 --> 00:05:39.354
  • I want to read this to you.
  • 00:05:39.354 --> 00:05:40.722
  • If you have your bibles, go to revelation chapter 16, and if
  • 00:05:40.722 --> 00:05:45.394
  • You start with verse 12, it's talking about the sixth plague,
  • 00:05:45.394 --> 00:05:50.732
  • "and the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river
  • 00:05:50.732 --> 00:05:53.869
  • Euphrates; and its water was dried up," it is just
  • 00:05:53.869 --> 00:05:58.740
  • Interesting to me that the euphrates river is going dry,
  • 00:05:58.740 --> 00:06:02.711
  • "so the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
  • 00:06:02.711 --> 00:06:06.314
  • And i saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the
  • 00:06:06.314 --> 00:06:10.685
  • Mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
  • 00:06:10.685 --> 00:06:13.955
  • The mouth of the false prophet.
  • 00:06:13.955 --> 00:06:16.124
  • For they are the spirits of demons, performing signs,
  • 00:06:16.124 --> 00:06:20.962
  • Miracles, which go out to the kings of the earth and the whole
  • 00:06:20.962 --> 00:06:25.700
  • World, to gather them to the battle
  • 00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:28.103
  • Of the great day of god almighty."
  • 00:06:28.103 --> 00:06:30.605
  • And right after it says that, if you've got a red
  • 00:06:30.605 --> 00:06:32.574
  • Letter in your bible, the words of jesus say, "behold, i am
  • 00:06:32.574 --> 00:06:37.479
  • Coming as a thief.
  • 00:06:37.479 --> 00:06:39.247
  • Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest they
  • 00:06:39.247 --> 00:06:42.584
  • Walk naked and see his shame."
  • 00:06:42.584 --> 00:06:44.886
  • You remember when we talked about the second coming, the
  • 00:06:44.886 --> 00:06:47.155
  • First thing christ said was, "beware that no man
  • 00:06:47.155 --> 00:06:50.692
  • Deceives you."
  • 00:06:50.692 --> 00:06:52.194
  • There's gonna be massive diabolical deception just before
  • 00:06:52.194 --> 00:06:55.997
  • The lord returns.
  • 00:06:55.997 --> 00:06:58.099
  • Now to understand our study today, you need to know
  • 00:06:58.099 --> 00:07:02.304
  • Something about a story.
  • 00:07:02.304 --> 00:07:03.705
  • It happens in the first book of samuel, chapter 28.
  • 00:07:03.705 --> 00:07:07.476
  • King saul, the first thing--first king of israel, he
  • 00:07:07.476 --> 00:07:12.314
  • Started out, god had chosen him, he's a good king, but he
  • 00:07:12.314 --> 00:07:15.617
  • Gradually became corrupted by power, and he drove away the
  • 00:07:15.617 --> 00:07:19.321
  • Holy spirit, until finally god would not answer him.
  • 00:07:19.321 --> 00:07:22.858
  • He killed the priests of god.
  • 00:07:22.858 --> 00:07:25.260
  • And then when all the philistines gathered against him
  • 00:07:25.260 --> 00:07:27.829
  • For this massive battle, he said,
  • 00:07:27.829 --> 00:07:30.432
  • "i need the priest to talk to me."
  • 00:07:30.432 --> 00:07:32.300
  • They wouldn't speak.
  • 00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:33.635
  • "i need a message from god.
  • 00:07:33.635 --> 00:07:34.970
  • Is there anything from the prophets?"
  • 00:07:34.970 --> 00:07:36.304
  • They would not speak to him.
  • 00:07:36.304 --> 00:07:37.639
  • He had grieved away the holy spirit.
  • 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:39.140
  • So he said, "well, give me a witch to call up
  • 00:07:39.140 --> 00:07:42.310
  • The spirit of samuel."
  • 00:07:42.310 --> 00:07:45.180
  • And he went to the witch of endor, and she went through her
  • 00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:48.683
  • Incantations, and this apparition appears that claims
  • 00:07:48.683 --> 00:07:52.554
  • To be samuel and gave a totally discouraging message to king
  • 00:07:52.554 --> 00:07:57.592
  • Saul, said, "why'd you wake me up?
  • 00:07:57.592 --> 00:08:00.495
  • You're gonna be with me tomorrow, and your sons are
  • 00:08:00.495 --> 00:08:02.631
  • Gonna die because you forsook the lord, and david's gonna
  • 00:08:02.631 --> 00:08:05.867
  • Be king."
  • 00:08:05.867 --> 00:08:07.202
  • The next day in battle, they were defeated by
  • 00:08:07.202 --> 00:08:09.604
  • The philistines.
  • 00:08:09.604 --> 00:08:11.039
  • Saul wounded, discouraged, fell on his sword.
  • 00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:14.442
  • You ever heard that expression?
  • 00:08:14.442 --> 00:08:16.645
  • He fe--he took his own life, grieved away the holy spirit
  • 00:08:16.645 --> 00:08:20.715
  • Like judas, who hung himself.
  • 00:08:20.715 --> 00:08:23.318
  • And you can read in the bible about ahitophel, who betrayed
  • 00:08:23.318 --> 00:08:26.454
  • David, hung himself.
  • 00:08:26.454 --> 00:08:29.291
  • People who grieve away the spirit, sometimes they lose
  • 00:08:29.291 --> 00:08:31.760
  • All hope.
  • 00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:33.161
  • Now the question is, was that samuel the prophet?
  • 00:08:33.161 --> 00:08:37.666
  • Does a witch have the power to resurrect?
  • 00:08:37.666 --> 00:08:41.970
  • Or are there evil spirits that work miracles to deceive the
  • 00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:45.974
  • Kings of the earth before the final battle?
  • 00:08:45.974 --> 00:08:49.711
  • The story of what happened there with king saul is an allegory of
  • 00:08:49.711 --> 00:08:53.181
  • What's also going to be happening in the last days.
  • 00:08:53.181 --> 00:08:56.051
  • So, let's find out what the bible says.
  • 00:08:56.051 --> 00:08:58.119
  • Go to our questions and answers, lesson number 9 in your
  • 00:08:58.119 --> 00:09:01.990
  • "prophecy odyssey" series.
  • 00:09:01.990 --> 00:09:03.992
  • Was the spirit conjured by the witch really samuel the prophet?
  • 00:09:03.992 --> 00:09:08.063
  • What does the bible say?
  • 00:09:08.063 --> 00:09:10.131
  • 1 kings 22, verse 21: "then a spirit came forward and stood
  • 00:09:10.131 --> 00:09:15.170
  • Before the lord, and said...'i will go out and be a,
  • 00:09:15.170 --> 00:09:18.206
  • A lying'"--what?
  • 00:09:18.206 --> 00:09:19.908
  • Got it on your screen?
  • 00:09:19.908 --> 00:09:21.276
  • "a lying spirit in the mouth of his prophets."
  • 00:09:21.276 --> 00:09:24.980
  • Are there lying spirits out there?
  • 00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:27.749
  • A lot of people, when they say, "i think i saw a ghost," they
  • 00:09:27.749 --> 00:09:30.518
  • Saw a fallen angel that may be impersonating the dead.
  • 00:09:30.518 --> 00:09:36.558
  • Let me ask you, we talked about queen victoria, prince albert,
  • 00:09:36.558 --> 00:09:40.495
  • Did the devil know what prince albert's pet name was
  • 00:09:40.495 --> 00:09:44.165
  • For victoria?
  • 00:09:44.165 --> 00:09:45.800
  • Sure he did, the devil's got lots of inside information
  • 00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:50.238
  • About you.
  • 00:09:50.238 --> 00:09:51.640
  • Not only does god have guardian angels, you can be sure the
  • 00:09:51.640 --> 00:09:54.142
  • Devil's got angels that know you too that are trying to tempt you
  • 00:09:54.142 --> 00:09:57.178
  • And trip you up.
  • 00:09:57.178 --> 00:09:59.414
  • Bible's pretty clear.
  • 00:09:59.414 --> 00:10:00.782
  • Read in 1 chronicles 10:13: "so saul died for his unfaithfulness
  • 00:10:00.782 --> 00:10:05.987
  • Which he had committed against the lord, because he did not
  • 00:10:05.987 --> 00:10:09.057
  • Keep the word of the lord, also because he consulted a medium
  • 00:10:09.057 --> 00:10:13.895
  • For guidance."
  • 00:10:13.895 --> 00:10:15.463
  • It says it was a medium.
  • 00:10:15.463 --> 00:10:17.265
  • They communicate with evil spirits, and those evil spirits,
  • 00:10:17.265 --> 00:10:21.369
  • Satan can appear as an angel of light.
  • 00:10:21.369 --> 00:10:23.204
  • Isn't that what the bible says?
  • 00:10:23.204 --> 00:10:25.373
  • Those evil spirits can deceive.
  • 00:10:25.373 --> 00:10:27.308
  • Question number 2: through what agency will satan gather the
  • 00:10:27.308 --> 00:10:32.280
  • Armies to the final battle of armageddon?
  • 00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:35.784
  • It tells us, "i saw three unclean spirits like," what?
  • 00:10:35.784 --> 00:10:39.921
  • "frogs."
  • 00:10:39.921 --> 00:10:41.289
  • Now, you ever been bitten by a frog?
  • 00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:45.226
  • Scratched by a frog?
  • 00:10:45.226 --> 00:10:47.362
  • What's the frog's most powerful rapid weapon?
  • 00:10:47.362 --> 00:10:51.199
  • Its tongue, and it's gonna be through these messages that go
  • 00:10:51.199 --> 00:10:55.236
  • Out, these spiritual messages, that's gonna deceive the world.
  • 00:10:55.236 --> 00:10:58.773
  • By the way, frogs were one of the plagues that fell on
  • 00:10:58.773 --> 00:11:00.875
  • Ancient egypt.
  • 00:11:00.875 --> 00:11:02.477
  • "three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of
  • 00:11:02.477 --> 00:11:05.547
  • The dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth
  • 00:11:05.547 --> 00:11:08.249
  • Of the false prophet.
  • 00:11:08.249 --> 00:11:09.984
  • For they are the spirits of," what?
  • 00:11:09.984 --> 00:11:12.487
  • "demons, performing signs, that go out to the kings of the
  • 00:11:12.487 --> 00:11:17.525
  • Earth," and they will claim to be deceased prophets, saints,
  • 00:11:17.525 --> 00:11:21.463
  • And apostles, and they're gonna be manipulating world leaders to
  • 00:11:21.463 --> 00:11:25.200
  • Make decisions that will bring about the final battle of
  • 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.069
  • Armageddon, "to gather them to the battle of that great day of
  • 00:11:28.069 --> 00:11:33.141
  • God..and they gathered them together in a place called in
  • 00:11:33.141 --> 00:11:35.810
  • The hebrew tongue, armageddon."
  • 00:11:35.810 --> 00:11:37.746
  • Now, armageddon is a word appears one time in the bible.
  • 00:11:37.746 --> 00:11:41.516
  • It's found there in genesis--i'm sorry, revelation chapter 16.
  • 00:11:41.516 --> 00:11:46.020
  • But the valley of megiddo, we believe har megiddo means the
  • 00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:49.824
  • Mount of megiddo, there's a mountain up above megiddo, and
  • 00:11:49.824 --> 00:11:55.363
  • This great valley, many pivotal battles happened there,
  • 00:11:55.363 --> 00:11:59.234
  • Including the battle where saul died, the battle where king
  • 00:11:59.234 --> 00:12:03.071
  • Josiah died, the battle where gideon--by the way, gideon
  • 00:12:03.071 --> 00:12:07.342
  • Fought against a threefold alliance in the valley of
  • 00:12:07.342 --> 00:12:11.112
  • Megiddo, it says that the midianites, and the amalekites,
  • 00:12:11.112 --> 00:12:15.683
  • And the people of the east, a three-fold enemy.
  • 00:12:15.683 --> 00:12:18.353
  • Revelation talks about the beast, the dragon, the
  • 00:12:18.353 --> 00:12:20.555
  • False prophet.
  • 00:12:20.555 --> 00:12:21.956
  • And gideon fought with the armor of god, and he won the battle.
  • 00:12:21.956 --> 00:12:26.694
  • He blew a trumpet, "lift up thy voice like a trumpet," the word
  • 00:12:26.694 --> 00:12:30.698
  • Of god.
  • 00:12:30.698 --> 00:12:32.100
  • "pull out a sword," said the sword of the lord.
  • 00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:34.536
  • "the word of god is sharper than any two-edged sword."
  • 00:12:34.536 --> 00:12:37.105
  • They broke the pitchers, and the lamp was shining, "thy word is a
  • 00:12:37.105 --> 00:12:41.109
  • Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."
  • 00:12:41.109 --> 00:12:43.678
  • How do we win the battle of armageddon?
  • 00:12:43.678 --> 00:12:46.147
  • By the word of god, "thy word i've hidden in my heart that i
  • 00:12:46.147 --> 00:12:49.017
  • Might not sin against thee."
  • 00:12:49.017 --> 00:12:50.552
  • Friends, there's a lot of distractions in the world today,
  • 00:12:50.552 --> 00:12:53.588
  • Christians need to read their bibles, amen?
  • 00:12:53.588 --> 00:12:56.624
  • The word of god has not changed, our weapon has not changed.
  • 00:12:56.624 --> 00:12:59.627
  • We need to know what the word of god says.
  • 00:12:59.627 --> 00:13:01.429
  • Number 3: do the dead come back to converse with or haunt
  • 00:13:01.429 --> 00:13:06.935
  • The living?
  • 00:13:06.935 --> 00:13:08.269
  • If you believe the people on the streets, they think, a lot of
  • 00:13:08.269 --> 00:13:10.738
  • Them think, "oh yeah."
  • 00:13:10.738 --> 00:13:12.740
  • But where we get our answer, man on the street or the bible?
  • 00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:18.046
  • The word of god is where you find truth.
  • 00:13:18.046 --> 00:13:20.782
  • Do the dead come back to haunt the living?
  • 00:13:20.782 --> 00:13:22.550
  • What does the bible say?
  • 00:13:22.550 --> 00:13:24.052
  • Job, speaking of someone who had died, "his sons come to honor,
  • 00:13:24.052 --> 00:13:28.089
  • And he does not know it; they're brought low, and he does not
  • 00:13:28.089 --> 00:13:33.528
  • Perceive it."
  • 00:13:33.528 --> 00:13:35.263
  • Now, my father's mother, grandma batchelor, was a, a dedicated
  • 00:13:35.263 --> 00:13:42.770
  • Christian, and she went to church, and i hope to see her in
  • 00:13:42.770 --> 00:13:46.908
  • The kingdom.
  • 00:13:46.908 --> 00:13:48.276
  • And if suddenly grandma batchelor should appear and say,
  • 00:13:48.276 --> 00:13:52.513
  • "doug, i've got messages for you."
  • 00:13:52.513 --> 00:13:55.683
  • Here, you get the cemetery.
  • 00:13:55.683 --> 00:13:58.086
  • Poof, there's grandma batchelor, okay?
  • 00:13:58.086 --> 00:14:01.322
  • And she said, "doug, i need to tell you that you don't need to
  • 00:14:01.322 --> 00:14:04.626
  • Worry so much about the bible because things have changed and
  • 00:14:04.626 --> 00:14:08.563
  • The bible's an old book.
  • 00:14:08.563 --> 00:14:09.931
  • It's gone from person to person, and it's been changed over time,
  • 00:14:09.931 --> 00:14:12.367
  • And you can't really trust it.
  • 00:14:12.367 --> 00:14:14.168
  • Everybody's gonna make it to heaven, just live the way you
  • 00:14:14.168 --> 00:14:16.738
  • Wanna live."
  • 00:14:16.738 --> 00:14:18.573
  • Should i believe what grandma batchelor says to me through an
  • 00:14:18.573 --> 00:14:21.075
  • Apparition or should i believe the word of god?
  • 00:14:21.075 --> 00:14:24.712
  • But it looked just like grandma batchelor, and it sounded just
  • 00:14:24.712 --> 00:14:29.984
  • Like her, and it even smelled a little bit like
  • 00:14:29.984 --> 00:14:33.488
  • Grandma batchelor.
  • 00:14:33.488 --> 00:14:35.323
  • Does the devil know all about grandma batchelor?
  • 00:14:35.323 --> 00:14:39.093
  • Don't be deceived, because the devil can create illusions.
  • 00:14:39.093 --> 00:14:41.963
  • Now someone's gonna say, "oh, pastor doug, my departed loved
  • 00:14:41.963 --> 00:14:46.000
  • Ones, i just sense their presence, and it's so powerful."
  • 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:51.139
  • That's normal.
  • 00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:52.907
  • You know, if you're married to someone for 50 years, and then
  • 00:14:52.907 --> 00:14:55.743
  • They die, and you find yourself feeling their presence, your
  • 00:14:55.743 --> 00:15:02.550
  • Mind is absolutely saturated with memories of that person,
  • 00:15:02.550 --> 00:15:06.321
  • And it's gonna be normal to think of them.
  • 00:15:06.321 --> 00:15:09.290
  • I remember years after my brother died, i always had
  • 00:15:09.290 --> 00:15:11.960
  • Falcon on auto dial, i'd just press one button, and i'd talk
  • 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.330
  • To him, and we'd visit and hang up, and, and even after he died,
  • 00:15:15.330 --> 00:15:19.033
  • I didn't have the heart to delete his messages to me.
  • 00:15:19.033 --> 00:15:24.105
  • And one day, i picked up the phone to call him and i had
  • 00:15:24.105 --> 00:15:28.042
  • Forgotten that he was dead.
  • 00:15:28.042 --> 00:15:30.778
  • I don't know if any of you have had that experience.
  • 00:15:30.778 --> 00:15:32.981
  • I know saints that are married for years, and they have a
  • 00:15:32.981 --> 00:15:36.250
  • Problem, and they call down the hall, "jack, can you come give
  • 00:15:36.250 --> 00:15:38.353
  • Me a hand?"
  • 00:15:38.353 --> 00:15:39.721
  • And they forgot jack's been dead ten years.
  • 00:15:39.721 --> 00:15:42.790
  • They, and they felt his presence.
  • 00:15:42.790 --> 00:15:44.726
  • Well, you feel their presence because your brain is filled
  • 00:15:44.726 --> 00:15:46.861
  • With the person, but what does the bible say?
  • 00:15:46.861 --> 00:15:50.498
  • The bible says they're asleep.
  • 00:15:50.498 --> 00:15:53.901
  • Ecclesiastes 9, verse 5, do we believe the wisest man who ever
  • 00:15:53.901 --> 00:15:57.572
  • Lived, solomon?
  • 00:15:57.572 --> 00:15:59.574
  • "for the living know that they will die; but the dead," how
  • 00:15:59.574 --> 00:16:04.078
  • Much do they know?
  • 00:16:04.078 --> 00:16:05.880
  • "know nothing, they have no more a reward for the me"--meaning in
  • 00:16:05.880 --> 00:16:10.718
  • This life, "they have no more a reward, for the memory of them
  • 00:16:10.718 --> 00:16:13.721
  • Is forgotten.
  • 00:16:13.721 --> 00:16:15.056
  • Also their love, their hatred."
  • 00:16:15.056 --> 00:16:16.424
  • If you've got someone that hated you and they died, you don't
  • 00:16:16.424 --> 00:16:18.860
  • Have to worry about them haunting you.
  • 00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:22.363
  • Their love, their hatred, their envy has now perished.
  • 00:16:22.363 --> 00:16:28.136
  • And you know, it is very liberating once you realize that
  • 00:16:28.136 --> 00:16:30.671
  • The dead are dead and they're not gonna bother you.
  • 00:16:30.671 --> 00:16:32.974
  • I don't worry about evil spirits.
  • 00:16:32.974 --> 00:16:35.276
  • I've got christ, "greater is he that is in you, than he."
  • 00:16:35.276 --> 00:16:37.912
  • Some people live in absolute fear of the devil, and fallen
  • 00:16:37.912 --> 00:16:40.348
  • Angels, and ghosts, and that is awful.
  • 00:16:40.348 --> 00:16:43.484
  • I can walk through a cemetery in the middle of the night and all
  • 00:16:43.484 --> 00:16:45.853
  • I have to worry about is tripping.
  • 00:16:45.853 --> 00:16:48.589
  • I'm not scared those people are gonna come bother me,
  • 00:16:48.589 --> 00:16:52.126
  • They're dead.
  • 00:16:52.126 --> 00:16:53.928
  • Have you ever gone through a cemetery and read some of
  • 00:16:53.928 --> 00:16:56.264
  • The tombstones?
  • 00:16:56.264 --> 00:16:58.766
  • It's very interesting some of the, the scenes you might find.
  • 00:16:58.766 --> 00:17:02.537
  • Oh, i had a little list, do i still have it here?
  • 00:17:02.537 --> 00:17:04.138
  • Yeah.
  • 00:17:04.138 --> 00:17:05.640
  • I remember one guy, he put on his tombstone, "stop, my friend,
  • 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:11.612
  • As you go by.
  • 00:17:11.612 --> 00:17:13.848
  • As you are now, so once was i. as i am now, you soon shall be.
  • 00:17:13.848 --> 00:17:22.090
  • Prepare yourself to follow me."
  • 00:17:22.090 --> 00:17:26.527
  • Well, a young man was walking through the cemetery one day
  • 00:17:26.527 --> 00:17:29.564
  • Coming home from school and he read that, and he pulled a
  • 00:17:29.564 --> 00:17:31.833
  • Crayon out of his bag, and he wrote on the tombstone, "to
  • 00:17:31.833 --> 00:17:35.736
  • Follow you, i'm not content until i know just where
  • 00:17:35.736 --> 00:17:38.873
  • You went."
  • 00:17:38.873 --> 00:17:40.274
  • Some people have a sense of humor even on their tombstones.
  • 00:17:43.244 --> 00:17:47.782
  • I think it was dr. james dobson said that his father told his
  • 00:17:47.782 --> 00:17:52.320
  • Mother, "when i die, i want you to put on my tombstone,
  • 00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:55.289
  • 'i told her i was sick.'"
  • 00:17:55.289 --> 00:17:59.727
  • "here lies the body," this is really on a tombstone
  • 00:17:59.727 --> 00:18:02.363
  • In nantucket, massachusetts, "here lies the
  • 00:18:02.363 --> 00:18:04.999
  • Body of old man peas, buried beneath the flower and trees,
  • 00:18:04.999 --> 00:18:10.238
  • But peas ain't here, just the pod.
  • 00:18:10.238 --> 00:18:13.207
  • Peas shelled out, and he went to god."
  • 00:18:13.207 --> 00:18:17.512
  • It's not theologically completely correct.
  • 00:18:17.512 --> 00:18:20.014
  • You know, a lot of them actually say rip.
  • 00:18:20.014 --> 00:18:21.816
  • What does rip stand for?
  • 00:18:21.816 --> 00:18:24.252
  • Rest in peace, that is more theologically correct.
  • 00:18:24.252 --> 00:18:26.654
  • What happens when a person dies?
  • 00:18:26.654 --> 00:18:28.422
  • They're sleeping, a dreamless sleep.
  • 00:18:28.422 --> 00:18:30.625
  • You can read in ecclesiastes 9, verse 10, "nevermore will they
  • 00:18:30.625 --> 00:18:35.563
  • Share in anything done under the sun...for there is no more work
  • 00:18:35.563 --> 00:18:41.035
  • Or device or," what?
  • 00:18:41.035 --> 00:18:43.371
  • "knowledge or wisdom in the grave," where you go.
  • 00:18:43.371 --> 00:18:47.441
  • Psalm 146, "put not your trust in princes, neither in the son
  • 00:18:47.441 --> 00:18:51.345
  • Of man, in whom there is no help.
  • 00:18:51.345 --> 00:18:52.980
  • His breath goes forth, and that very day his thoughts perish."
  • 00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:57.251
  • I could go through 50 scriptures right now, there's just no time.
  • 00:18:57.251 --> 00:19:00.388
  • Psalm 6, verse 5: "in death there is no remembrance of you."
  • 00:19:00.388 --> 00:19:04.859
  • "the dead do not praise the lord," psalm 115, verse 17.
  • 00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:08.663
  • "he shall never return to his house."
  • 00:19:08.663 --> 00:19:12.099
  • Now, friends, i know some of you are thinking, doesn't the body
  • 00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:15.269
  • Say--doesn't the bible say in 2 corinthians chapter 5, "to be
  • 00:19:15.269 --> 00:19:20.107
  • Absent from the body is to be present with the lord?"
  • 00:19:20.107 --> 00:19:23.878
  • That's true, when a believer dies, their next conscious
  • 00:19:23.878 --> 00:19:29.417
  • Thought is the resurrection and the presence of the lord.
  • 00:19:29.417 --> 00:19:34.889
  • But 1,000 years might have gone by, they're not there yet.
  • 00:19:34.889 --> 00:19:38.593
  • For them, it's like that, in a moment, in the twinkling of
  • 00:19:38.593 --> 00:19:42.029
  • An eye.
  • 00:19:42.029 --> 00:19:43.397
  • But the bible's pretty clear.
  • 00:19:43.397 --> 00:19:44.765
  • Is the resurrection past or is it future?
  • 00:19:44.765 --> 00:19:47.235
  • Read john chapter 6.
  • 00:19:47.235 --> 00:19:48.569
  • It says over and over, the resurrection,
  • 00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:50.304
  • The last day, the resurrection, the last day, it's in
  • 00:19:50.304 --> 00:19:52.573
  • The future.
  • 00:19:52.573 --> 00:19:53.941
  • That's when we get our rewards.
  • 00:19:53.941 --> 00:19:55.276
  • Can you say amen?
  • 00:19:55.276 --> 00:19:57.311
  • Number 4: according to the book of revelation, who has the keys
  • 00:19:57.311 --> 00:20:01.849
  • Of death?
  • 00:20:01.849 --> 00:20:03.684
  • Revelation 1:18: "i am he who lives, and i was dead, and
  • 00:20:03.684 --> 00:20:10.858
  • Behold, i am alive forevermore.
  • 00:20:10.858 --> 00:20:13.160
  • Amen.
  • 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:14.528
  • And i've got the keys of hades," that means the grave,
  • 00:20:14.528 --> 00:20:16.897
  • "and death."
  • 00:20:16.897 --> 00:20:18.266
  • The last enemy to be cast in the lake of fire is the grave
  • 00:20:18.266 --> 00:20:21.402
  • And death.
  • 00:20:21.402 --> 00:20:22.770
  • There will be no more death, but the dead are not haunting,
  • 00:20:22.770 --> 00:20:27.808
  • They're sleeping.
  • 00:20:27.808 --> 00:20:29.176
  • And the reason we emphasize this in a prophecy seminar is because
  • 00:20:29.176 --> 00:20:32.380
  • The devil and his demons are going to use this
  • 00:20:32.380 --> 00:20:35.383
  • Misunderstanding to manipulate the world in the last days with
  • 00:20:35.383 --> 00:20:39.920
  • The great masterpiece of deception, because they don't
  • 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.624
  • Know that the dead are dead, and a lot of people try to
  • 00:20:43.624 --> 00:20:45.526
  • Communicate with the dead.
  • 00:20:45.526 --> 00:20:46.894
  • Do you know the bible very explicitly forbids that.
  • 00:20:46.894 --> 00:20:50.831
  • We'll get to those verses in just a minute.
  • 00:20:50.831 --> 00:20:52.833
  • If you wanna know something about what happens when you die
  • 00:20:52.833 --> 00:20:55.603
  • In life, look at how god made us in the beginning.
  • 00:20:55.603 --> 00:20:59.774
  • Question number 5: how did god make man in the beginning?
  • 00:20:59.774 --> 00:21:03.778
  • It says, "and the lord god formed man from the," the what?
  • 00:21:03.778 --> 00:21:08.516
  • "the dust of the ground, and he breathed into his nostrils the
  • 00:21:08.516 --> 00:21:13.721
  • Breath of life," that word life there, that breath is "ruach" in
  • 00:21:13.721 --> 00:21:18.526
  • Hebrew, "the breath of life; and man became a living being."
  • 00:21:18.526 --> 00:21:23.264
  • So you get the elements of earth, god puts him in the right
  • 00:21:23.264 --> 00:21:26.400
  • Position, he inspires man with this power, this energy, this
  • 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:31.672
  • Breath of life, and they became a living being.
  • 00:21:31.672 --> 00:21:34.942
  • They're conscious, they're alert, they're thinking.
  • 00:21:34.942 --> 00:21:37.411
  • Adam was different from most babies born in that adam, when
  • 00:21:37.411 --> 00:21:40.181
  • He was made, he came factory preinstalled with the ability to
  • 00:21:40.181 --> 00:21:45.119
  • Walk, and talk, and think, right?
  • 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.221
  • He had a certain amount of knowledge that he was made with.
  • 00:21:47.221 --> 00:21:50.624
  • He was not made a baby, he was made a full-grown man, and he
  • 00:21:50.624 --> 00:21:54.095
  • Was made in the image of god.
  • 00:21:54.095 --> 00:21:56.597
  • And when a person dies, you've got creation in reverse.
  • 00:21:56.597 --> 00:22:01.435
  • What happens at death?
  • 00:22:01.435 --> 00:22:02.770
  • Question number 6.
  • 00:22:02.770 --> 00:22:04.872
  • "then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
  • 00:22:04.872 --> 00:22:09.043
  • And the spirit," that's the same word as breath, it's
  • 00:22:09.043 --> 00:22:12.646
  • The word ruach, "and the breath will return to god who gave it."
  • 00:22:12.646 --> 00:22:17.952
  • By the way, ecclesiastes said not just the breath of people,
  • 00:22:17.952 --> 00:22:21.489
  • Not just the breath of the saved, the breath of the saved,
  • 00:22:21.489 --> 00:22:24.458
  • The breath of the lost, the breath of animals, the breath of
  • 00:22:24.458 --> 00:22:27.061
  • Life, of all creatures returns to god.
  • 00:22:27.061 --> 00:22:31.165
  • It is not saying that word "spirit" is a little conscious
  • 00:22:31.165 --> 00:22:34.402
  • Ghost that flies out of a person when they die and goes off
  • 00:22:34.402 --> 00:22:37.872
  • Roaming around looking for a place until the resurrection.
  • 00:22:37.872 --> 00:22:40.908
  • It simply means the power of life.
  • 00:22:40.908 --> 00:22:44.111
  • Right now, this building, this studio is illuminated with all
  • 00:22:44.111 --> 00:22:47.581
  • These lights, and apparatus, and devices through the energy
  • 00:22:47.581 --> 00:22:51.619
  • Of electricity.
  • 00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:53.187
  • If heaven forbid someone should kill the switch and everything
  • 00:22:53.187 --> 00:22:56.824
  • Went dark, i would say, he might not hear me without the pa, but
  • 00:22:56.824 --> 00:23:01.028
  • I'd say, "where did the light go?
  • 00:23:01.028 --> 00:23:03.964
  • Where'd the power go?"
  • 00:23:03.964 --> 00:23:05.299
  • It's back at the power plant where it came from.
  • 00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:07.334
  • That one power operates many devices.
  • 00:23:07.334 --> 00:23:10.638
  • It gives life to these things.
  • 00:23:10.638 --> 00:23:13.641
  • Well, that's the breath of life that you find in the bible.
  • 00:23:13.641 --> 00:23:16.043
  • Let me give you more proof.
  • 00:23:16.043 --> 00:23:17.745
  • Job says, "all the while that god is with me and the breath,
  • 00:23:17.745 --> 00:23:23.117
  • The spirit of life is in my nostrils."
  • 00:23:23.117 --> 00:23:27.688
  • The spirit, it's the same word.
  • 00:23:27.688 --> 00:23:29.790
  • Do you have a ghost in your nose?
  • 00:23:29.790 --> 00:23:32.760
  • We hope not.
  • 00:23:32.760 --> 00:23:35.763
  • The very fact he says the spirit of god is in my nostrils, he's
  • 00:23:35.763 --> 00:23:40.134
  • In the breath of god.
  • 00:23:40.134 --> 00:23:41.969
  • In hebrew, the word is "ruach."
  • 00:23:41.969 --> 00:23:45.506
  • In greek, it's the word "pneuma."
  • 00:23:45.506 --> 00:23:49.076
  • When someone has trouble breathing, they call
  • 00:23:49.076 --> 00:23:50.778
  • It pneumonia.
  • 00:23:50.778 --> 00:23:52.947
  • And you men, if you've ever used those air-powered tools, they're
  • 00:23:52.947 --> 00:23:56.984
  • Called pneumatic.
  • 00:23:56.984 --> 00:23:59.153
  • It's because it's wind, pneuma, comes from that greek word.
  • 00:23:59.153 --> 00:24:02.289
  • And so, often in the bible, when it uses the word spirit, people
  • 00:24:02.289 --> 00:24:05.626
  • Think it's talking about a ghost, and it's talking about
  • 00:24:05.626 --> 00:24:08.095
  • The breath of life, that the wind.
  • 00:24:08.095 --> 00:24:11.765
  • The bible teaches that the "spirit" that returns to god is
  • 00:24:11.765 --> 00:24:14.902
  • Simply the breath of life, that god breathed into man at
  • 00:24:14.902 --> 00:24:17.938
  • The beginning.
  • 00:24:17.938 --> 00:24:19.273
  • You can look in james 2:26, job 27, verse 3, and others.
  • 00:24:19.273 --> 00:24:24.178
  • "take away their breath, and they die and return to
  • 00:24:24.178 --> 00:24:26.981
  • Their dust.
  • 00:24:26.981 --> 00:24:28.349
  • You send forth your spirit [your breath], and they are created."
  • 00:24:28.349 --> 00:24:32.319
  • This is what it's talking about.
  • 00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:33.654
  • Number 7: where do the dead go when they die?
  • 00:24:33.654 --> 00:24:38.058
  • Don't we go somewhere?
  • 00:24:38.058 --> 00:24:39.793
  • Yeah, you know where they go?
  • 00:24:39.793 --> 00:24:42.496
  • You've probably seen it before.
  • 00:24:42.496 --> 00:24:44.164
  • They go to the tombstones.
  • 00:24:44.164 --> 00:24:46.400
  • They go to the cemetery.
  • 00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.002
  • It says, "yet he will be brought to the," what?
  • 00:24:48.002 --> 00:24:51.939
  • "the grave, and a vigil kept over the tomb."
  • 00:24:51.939 --> 00:24:56.777
  • Listen to the words of jesus in john chapter 5:28-29: "all who
  • 00:24:56.777 --> 00:25:01.749
  • Are," where?
  • 00:25:01.749 --> 00:25:03.350
  • "in their graves will hear his voice."
  • 00:25:03.350 --> 00:25:06.453
  • Where are they now?
  • 00:25:06.453 --> 00:25:08.055
  • Where did jesus say they are?
  • 00:25:08.055 --> 00:25:10.090
  • Did he say they're in abraham's bosom?
  • 00:25:10.090 --> 00:25:11.959
  • Did he say they're in limbo?
  • 00:25:11.959 --> 00:25:13.327
  • Did he say they're in purgatory?
  • 00:25:13.327 --> 00:25:15.629
  • When he comes again, he said, "when i come, all that are in
  • 00:25:15.629 --> 00:25:19.266
  • Their graves will hear his voice," that's when they hear
  • 00:25:19.266 --> 00:25:21.569
  • His voice.
  • 00:25:21.569 --> 00:25:22.937
  • He says, "come forth."
  • 00:25:22.937 --> 00:25:24.305
  • Now, how long does it feel for them?
  • 00:25:24.305 --> 00:25:27.107
  • Instant!
  • 00:25:27.107 --> 00:25:28.442
  • To be absent from the body, no consciousness of time, present
  • 00:25:28.442 --> 00:25:32.713
  • With the lord.
  • 00:25:32.713 --> 00:25:34.315
  • But the bible says that the lord descends from heaven and then
  • 00:25:34.315 --> 00:25:37.451
  • The dead in christ rise, amen?
  • 00:25:37.451 --> 00:25:40.120
  • And we're caught up to meet him in the air.
  • 00:25:40.120 --> 00:25:42.389
  • Doug: friends, i hope you've been blessed by today's message,
  • 00:25:42.456 --> 00:25:44.858
  • But really the reason we do this is so that people might
  • 00:25:44.858 --> 00:25:47.661
  • Know christ.
  • 00:25:47.661 --> 00:25:49.029
  • You know, information is not gonna save us.
  • 00:25:49.029 --> 00:25:51.098
  • It's a relationship with jesus, the one who died on the cross
  • 00:25:51.098 --> 00:25:54.168
  • For your sins.
  • 00:25:54.168 --> 00:25:55.502
  • You must personally accept him, and that's the most important
  • 00:25:55.502 --> 00:25:58.472
  • Thing and why we do these programs.
  • 00:25:58.472 --> 00:26:00.608
  • If you've not asked him into your heart before, then i'd
  • 00:26:00.608 --> 00:26:03.277
  • Encourage you to do it right now.
  • 00:26:03.277 --> 00:26:04.945
  • His arms are open wide.
  • 00:26:04.945 --> 00:26:06.747
  • Just come to him as you are and ask him.
  • 00:26:06.747 --> 00:26:09.950
  • Doug: hi, friends, i trust you're being blessed by what
  • 00:26:10.017 --> 00:26:12.152
  • You're watching.
  • 00:26:12.152 --> 00:26:13.487

  • Doug: today we've learned what the bible really
  • 00:26:39.747 --> 00:26:41.915
  • Says about the subject of death to help you avoid the devil's
  • 00:26:41.915 --> 00:26:45.686
  • Deceptions, but there's much more to discover, so i hope that
