  • "prophecy odyssey" adventure.
  • 00:01:11.988 --> 00:01:14.591
  • Doug: where did the woman go during this terrifying period of
  • 00:01:14.591 --> 00:01:17.861
  • Persecution--and how long did it last?
  • 00:01:17.861 --> 00:01:21.698
  • Now, let me tell you what happened, and then we'll get
  • 00:01:21.698 --> 00:01:23.166
  • To the answer.
  • 00:01:23.166 --> 00:01:24.701
  • So, with the conversion of constantine and christianity
  • 00:01:24.701 --> 00:01:28.104
  • Being legalized--and suddenly it's very popular--all over rome
  • 00:01:28.104 --> 00:01:31.975
  • They had all these pagan priests.
  • 00:01:31.975 --> 00:01:34.577
  • Constantine said, "christianity is legalized."
  • 00:01:34.577 --> 00:01:36.713
  • His mother became a christian, and the pagan priest said,
  • 00:01:36.713 --> 00:01:39.849
  • "well, i'd like to stay on the government payroll, i'll be a
  • 00:01:39.849 --> 00:01:42.552
  • Christian," and all of these pagans began to join the church
  • 00:01:42.552 --> 00:01:47.257
  • Before they were converted or even taught.
  • 00:01:47.257 --> 00:01:49.759
  • In fact, when constantine was fighting the battle of
  • 00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:53.163
  • Maximilian and he came to the tiber river, he claimed to see a
  • 00:01:53.163 --> 00:01:57.033
  • Vision where he was to conquer under the sign of the cross, and
  • 00:01:57.033 --> 00:02:00.170
  • They began to paint red crosses on their shields, and he ordered
  • 00:02:00.170 --> 00:02:04.607
  • His army for good luck to march through the tiber river, and he
  • 00:02:04.607 --> 00:02:10.313
  • Says, "i'm going to baptize the whole lot of you, march through
  • 00:02:10.313 --> 00:02:13.216
  • The river."
  • 00:02:13.216 --> 00:02:14.551
  • Well, they had not been taught, and so you got all of these dry
  • 00:02:14.551 --> 00:02:19.022
  • Pagans that go through the river, and they come up wet
  • 00:02:19.022 --> 00:02:21.858
  • Pagans, but they're being told, "you're christians now."
  • 00:02:21.858 --> 00:02:24.727
  • They have no idea what that means, and they have all these
  • 00:02:24.727 --> 00:02:27.697
  • Idols all over rome.
  • 00:02:27.697 --> 00:02:29.766
  • They had more idols than tiles on the rooftop in rome, and they
  • 00:02:29.766 --> 00:02:34.370
  • Said, "what do we do with our idols?"
  • 00:02:34.370 --> 00:02:36.239
  • And they said, "well, let's change their names, give them
  • 00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:38.341
  • Christian names.
  • 00:02:38.341 --> 00:02:41.144
  • And diana, we'll call her mary; and jupiter, apollo, mercury:
  • 00:02:41.144 --> 00:02:45.682
  • Peter, james, and john."
  • 00:02:45.682 --> 00:02:47.817
  • And all of a sudden, idolatry just swept into the church.
  • 00:02:47.817 --> 00:02:53.723
  • And the priests, instead of being like the people--you know,
  • 00:02:53.723 --> 00:02:57.794
  • Jesus did not dress in special vestments, he dressed like a
  • 00:02:57.794 --> 00:03:01.231
  • Carpenter--but now they started to priest for an upper class.
  • 00:03:01.231 --> 00:03:07.103
  • And they said, "you know, we better not give the bibles to
  • 00:03:07.103 --> 00:03:09.939
  • The people, if you give the bibles to the people,
  • 00:03:09.939 --> 00:03:11.841
  • They're going to find out salvation is a gift
  • 00:03:11.841 --> 00:03:15.078
  • And we've been selling it.
  • 00:03:15.078 --> 00:03:17.447
  • And if they want forgiveness, they've got to pay indulgences
  • 00:03:17.447 --> 00:03:20.984
  • To the church."
  • 00:03:20.984 --> 00:03:22.885
  • And all of a sudden, the priests became a special class, and they
  • 00:03:22.885 --> 00:03:27.390
  • Were living in palaces, and the people were being ground down,
  • 00:03:27.390 --> 00:03:31.828
  • And the religion became a government institution.
  • 00:03:31.828 --> 00:03:37.200
  • That's how the capital of christianity moved from
  • 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:39.802
  • Jerusalem to rome.
  • 00:03:39.802 --> 00:03:42.605
  • You still with me?
  • 00:03:42.605 --> 00:03:44.007
  • This is history, friends.
  • 00:03:44.007 --> 00:03:45.341
  • I mean, anybody can look this up.
  • 00:03:45.341 --> 00:03:48.244
  • And all of a sudden, there was tremendous compromise, and what
  • 00:03:48.244 --> 00:03:52.215
  • You had is there are still many sincere christians that were in
  • 00:03:52.215 --> 00:03:54.884
  • Rome, and they were fighting against the compromise, but all
  • 00:03:54.884 --> 00:03:58.288
  • Of a sudden you had the co-mingling of christianity
  • 00:03:58.288 --> 00:04:01.624
  • And paganism.
  • 00:04:01.624 --> 00:04:03.326
  • They started saying "hell burns forever" because they got that
  • 00:04:03.326 --> 00:04:05.762
  • From greek mythology with pluto, and they started saying you have
  • 00:04:05.762 --> 00:04:10.933
  • To--you can pay for your sins, salvation by works; everything
  • 00:04:10.933 --> 00:04:14.937
  • Began to change.
  • 00:04:14.937 --> 00:04:17.740
  • True christians began to get persecuted.
  • 00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:21.944
  • By the time of justinian--about 538 ad--justinian, the roman
  • 00:04:21.944 --> 00:04:26.716
  • Emperor, he said, "i'm moving the capital of constantinople.
  • 00:04:26.716 --> 00:04:30.887
  • I'm going to give--the bishop of rome is now going to be the head
  • 00:04:30.887 --> 00:04:33.456
  • Of the church.
  • 00:04:33.456 --> 00:04:34.824
  • We're going to call him the supreme papa, the father,
  • 00:04:34.824 --> 00:04:36.592
  • The pope.
  • 00:04:36.592 --> 00:04:38.294
  • That happened years after jesus.
  • 00:04:38.294 --> 00:04:42.298
  • Jesus never said peter was the leader of the church.
  • 00:04:42.298 --> 00:04:46.536
  • Jesus is the leader of the church.
  • 00:04:46.536 --> 00:04:49.472
  • In fact, right after jesus says, "peter--yeah, you--because of
  • 00:04:49.472 --> 00:04:54.444
  • Your declaration that i'm the messiah, on that rock of your
  • 00:04:54.444 --> 00:04:58.181
  • Declaration i'm going to build my church.
  • 00:04:58.181 --> 00:04:59.716
  • The gates of hell will not prevail against it, and i'm
  • 00:04:59.716 --> 00:05:01.984
  • Going to go to jerusalem where i'm going to die," and peter
  • 00:05:01.984 --> 00:05:04.487
  • Said, "no, no, lord, don't do that."
  • 00:05:04.487 --> 00:05:06.322
  • Jesus turned to peter and said, "get behind me, satan."
  • 00:05:06.322 --> 00:05:09.726
  • In the same passage where people say he's the first pope, jesus
  • 00:05:09.726 --> 00:05:13.162
  • Calls him satan.
  • 00:05:13.162 --> 00:05:15.264
  • Totally misunderstood.
  • 00:05:15.264 --> 00:05:18.801
  • So christians had to flee into the wilderness.
  • 00:05:18.801 --> 00:05:21.704
  • Notice: "the woman"--now, we're still in revelation 12, you
  • 00:05:21.704 --> 00:05:25.575
  • Tracking with me?
  • 00:05:25.575 --> 00:05:27.510
  • "the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a
  • 00:05:27.510 --> 00:05:30.413
  • Place prepared by god, that they should feed her there one
  • 00:05:30.413 --> 00:05:33.516
  • Thousand two hundred and sixty days."
  • 00:05:33.516 --> 00:05:37.320
  • A time of great persecution happened because the church in
  • 00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:40.323
  • Rome became a government institution that not only ruled
  • 00:05:40.323 --> 00:05:43.292
  • Over rome, they began to rule over all of the empires under
  • 00:05:43.292 --> 00:05:46.763
  • The roman empire.
  • 00:05:46.763 --> 00:05:48.398
  • And with the conversion of clovis, the king of the franks,
  • 00:05:48.398 --> 00:05:51.434
  • You had the holy roman empire.
  • 00:05:51.434 --> 00:05:54.137
  • And, how many of you have played chess?
  • 00:05:54.137 --> 00:05:58.307
  • You got the king and the queen, and who's on the right of the
  • 00:05:58.307 --> 00:06:00.510
  • King and the queen?
  • 00:06:00.510 --> 00:06:02.111
  • Bishop, bishop.
  • 00:06:02.111 --> 00:06:03.913
  • You look at the churches all through europe during that time
  • 00:06:03.913 --> 00:06:06.082
  • Of history, and you had the king and the queen, and then you had
  • 00:06:06.082 --> 00:06:08.418
  • The church, and they had to clear everything with the
  • 00:06:08.418 --> 00:06:11.454
  • Church, and if the king and the queen did not clear it with the
  • 00:06:11.454 --> 00:06:14.023
  • Church, then the whole nation could be excommunicated.
  • 00:06:14.023 --> 00:06:17.226
  • And the reason that you got the church of england is because
  • 00:06:17.226 --> 00:06:20.463
  • Henry kept killing his wives because they couldn't have
  • 00:06:20.463 --> 00:06:22.999
  • Children, and the church said, "look, enough is enough.
  • 00:06:22.999 --> 00:06:25.234
  • You've killed five or six wives, you know.
  • 00:06:25.234 --> 00:06:27.870
  • We can't approve your divorce."
  • 00:06:27.870 --> 00:06:29.205
  • He said, "well then, i'm just going to start my own church,"
  • 00:06:29.205 --> 00:06:33.176
  • And the church of england broke away because they're--and the
  • 00:06:33.176 --> 00:06:37.747
  • Whole nation was excommunicated at that time.
  • 00:06:37.747 --> 00:06:41.284
  • And so, the church had tremendous power over europe
  • 00:06:41.284 --> 00:06:44.987
  • During this time.
  • 00:06:44.987 --> 00:06:46.355
  • True christians that read the bible for themselves had to flee
  • 00:06:46.355 --> 00:06:49.225
  • Into the mountains.
  • 00:06:49.225 --> 00:06:50.593
  • They went into the italian and the swiss alps, and they kept
  • 00:06:50.593 --> 00:06:54.363
  • The purity of the faith, and they would copy out the
  • 00:06:54.363 --> 00:06:57.066
  • Scriptures by hand, and they'd send their merchants and their
  • 00:06:57.066 --> 00:07:00.069
  • Children into town to give little sections of scripture to
  • 00:07:00.069 --> 00:07:03.039
  • People to spread the faith and keep it alive, but the
  • 00:07:03.039 --> 00:07:06.008
  • Church--"clothed in the sackcloth" is what
  • 00:07:06.008 --> 00:07:08.978
  • Revelation says.
  • 00:07:08.978 --> 00:07:10.746
  • You know what sackcloth is?
  • 00:07:10.746 --> 00:07:12.415
  • When i was a kid, we had potato bags.
  • 00:07:12.415 --> 00:07:13.983
  • You don't have them anymore, they're plastic now.
  • 00:07:13.983 --> 00:07:16.285
  • How many remember burlap bags?
  • 00:07:16.285 --> 00:07:19.288
  • Kind of cloth, but it's cheap cloth, and light can still get
  • 00:07:19.288 --> 00:07:22.291
  • Through it, but it's obscured.
  • 00:07:22.291 --> 00:07:25.628
  • And the church, the light of the church was obscured during that
  • 00:07:25.628 --> 00:07:28.431
  • Time, had to go underground.
  • 00:07:28.431 --> 00:07:31.367
  • You know how long it lasted?
  • 00:07:31.367 --> 00:07:33.269
  • From 538 when the pope became the supreme ruler, it was given
  • 00:07:33.269 --> 00:07:37.073
  • An army, and christianity was enforced by an army--jesus never
  • 00:07:37.073 --> 00:07:42.245
  • Told us to force people to be christians--until napoleon came
  • 00:07:42.245 --> 00:07:46.516
  • Along in 1798.
  • 00:07:46.516 --> 00:07:48.618
  • The pope was arrested, they lost their universal power, and he
  • 00:07:48.618 --> 00:07:52.889
  • Died in captivity.
  • 00:07:52.889 --> 00:07:54.891
  • From 538 to 1798, you've got 1260 years.
  • 00:07:54.891 --> 00:08:01.163
  • It says "for 1260 days," 42 months, a time, a time, and the
  • 00:08:01.163 --> 00:08:06.536
  • Dividing of time; that time period is in prophecy
  • 00:08:06.536 --> 00:08:09.505
  • Many times.
  • 00:08:09.505 --> 00:08:10.873
  • By the way, what is god's number in the bible, god's number?
  • 00:08:10.873 --> 00:08:14.076
  • Seven, what is half of seven?
  • 00:08:14.076 --> 00:08:16.479
  • Three and a half.
  • 00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:17.947
  • It usually represents a time of persecution.
  • 00:08:17.947 --> 00:08:21.017
  • How long did jesus preach?
  • 00:08:21.017 --> 00:08:22.518
  • Three and a half years, and then he died.
  • 00:08:22.518 --> 00:08:26.222
  • And then the apostles preached for 3.5 years, and then stephen
  • 00:08:26.222 --> 00:08:31.928
  • Was killed exactly 3.5 years later.
  • 00:08:31.928 --> 00:08:35.197
  • And you look at the story in the old testament of elijah.
  • 00:08:35.197 --> 00:08:38.367
  • For 3.5 years, elijah preached, and the prophets had to
  • 00:08:38.367 --> 00:08:41.404
  • Go underground.
  • 00:08:41.404 --> 00:08:42.738
  • They were hidden in caves until he had his mount carmel
  • 00:08:42.738 --> 00:08:46.676
  • Experience, and even then he had great persecution.
  • 00:08:46.676 --> 00:08:49.078
  • Elijah had to run from his life from jezebel, a woman.
  • 00:08:49.078 --> 00:08:54.350
  • I'm talking about a woman representing the church.
  • 00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.085
  • She was a pagan woman that married a jewish king.
  • 00:08:56.085 --> 00:09:00.623
  • The combination of paganism and the truth was persecuting the
  • 00:09:00.623 --> 00:09:05.494
  • Prophets of god.
  • 00:09:05.494 --> 00:09:06.829
  • What happened in the old testament was repeated in
  • 00:09:06.829 --> 00:09:09.365
  • History, and it's going to happen again in the last days.
  • 00:09:09.365 --> 00:09:12.702
  • You--is it making sense?
  • 00:09:12.702 --> 00:09:14.904
  • All right, so she flees into the wilderness.
  • 00:09:14.904 --> 00:09:16.706
  • Number 6: what are two other identifying marks of god's
  • 00:09:16.706 --> 00:09:21.177
  • True church?
  • 00:09:21.177 --> 00:09:22.545
  • You get down to the end of chapter 12, it says, "and the
  • 00:09:22.545 --> 00:09:24.614
  • Dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war
  • 00:09:24.614 --> 00:09:29.785
  • With the rest," that means the remnant, "of her offspring," who
  • 00:09:29.785 --> 00:09:32.555
  • Do what?
  • 00:09:32.555 --> 00:09:33.923
  • "keeps the commandments of god, and has the testimony of jesus."
  • 00:09:33.923 --> 00:09:40.463
  • If you read in isaiah, chapter 8, says, "bind up the testimony,
  • 00:09:40.463 --> 00:09:46.002
  • Seal the law among my disciples," the law and
  • 00:09:46.002 --> 00:09:50.072
  • The testimony.
  • 00:09:50.072 --> 00:09:51.440
  • Read in revelation 19, verse 10.
  • 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.076
  • John is talking to an angel, he falls down to worship the angel.
  • 00:09:54.076 --> 00:09:57.179
  • The angel says, "don't worship me, don't worship anyone
  • 00:09:57.179 --> 00:09:59.315
  • But god--we're not to pray to angels, we're not to pray to
  • 00:09:59.315 --> 00:10:02.018
  • Statues," say amen?
  • 00:10:02.018 --> 00:10:04.153
  • Said, "pray to god."
  • 00:10:04.153 --> 00:10:05.655
  • You don't even pray to angels.
  • 00:10:05.655 --> 00:10:08.057
  • And the angel said, "fear god, i am of your fellow servants who
  • 00:10:08.057 --> 00:10:11.961
  • Keep the testimony of god, for the testimony of god is the
  • 00:10:11.961 --> 00:10:16.265
  • Spirit of prophecy."
  • 00:10:16.265 --> 00:10:18.334
  • The law and the testimony, the law and the prophets,
  • 00:10:18.334 --> 00:10:21.971
  • Two characteristics.
  • 00:10:21.971 --> 00:10:23.305
  • Read in isaiah chapter 8, verse 20; according to the law and the
  • 00:10:23.305 --> 00:10:27.810
  • Testimony, the word of god, "if they speak not according to this
  • 00:10:27.810 --> 00:10:31.247
  • Word, there's no light in them."
  • 00:10:31.247 --> 00:10:33.015
  • The word of god is dual in nature: ten commandments, two
  • 00:10:33.015 --> 00:10:36.118
  • Tables of stone.
  • 00:10:36.118 --> 00:10:37.486
  • You've got the bible, the new and the old testament.
  • 00:10:37.486 --> 00:10:40.523
  • These are the two witnesses in revelation 11--we'll get to that
  • 00:10:40.523 --> 00:10:43.192
  • Another time--symbolized by moses and elijah, the law and
  • 00:10:43.192 --> 00:10:46.896
  • The prophets, and god's people will have the word of god.
  • 00:10:46.896 --> 00:10:52.735
  • Now, you might say, "well, yeah, every church keeps the
  • 00:10:52.735 --> 00:10:54.737
  • Commandments, some of them."
  • 00:10:54.737 --> 00:10:57.106
  • Oh, no, no friends, god's looking for people that will
  • 00:10:57.106 --> 00:10:59.108
  • Believe in all ten.
  • 00:10:59.108 --> 00:11:00.776
  • God does not call them the ten suggestions.
  • 00:11:00.776 --> 00:11:04.980
  • They are not called the ten good ideas, they're not god's ten
  • 00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:09.652
  • Recommendations, they are the ten commandments of god, amen?
  • 00:11:09.652 --> 00:11:14.924
  • Everybody in jail keeps some of them some of the time.
  • 00:11:14.924 --> 00:11:20.396
  • You keep them when you're sleeping for a few hours each
  • 00:11:20.396 --> 00:11:22.898
  • Night, and even then you might be dubious.
  • 00:11:22.898 --> 00:11:29.338
  • God is looking for people that believe in all ten, amen?
  • 00:11:29.338 --> 00:11:33.609
  • Keeping not just the letter, but keeping the spirit of the law as
  • 00:11:33.609 --> 00:11:37.313
  • Well, amen?
  • 00:11:37.313 --> 00:11:39.582
  • So the dragon especially hates that group of people.
  • 00:11:39.582 --> 00:11:43.352
  • Number 7: how did jesus say that we're to demonstrate our love
  • 00:11:43.352 --> 00:11:46.622
  • For him?
  • 00:11:46.622 --> 00:11:48.357
  • He said what?
  • 00:11:48.357 --> 00:11:50.259
  • "if you love me, honk your horn."
  • 00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:55.164
  • I heard about a woman that--she was stuck in traffic and she
  • 00:11:55.164 --> 00:12:00.202
  • Began to honk her horn and shake her fist; didn't know that the
  • 00:12:00.202 --> 00:12:04.707
  • Policeman was behind her.
  • 00:12:04.707 --> 00:12:06.375
  • He jumped out of his car and he pulled his gun and he said, "get
  • 00:12:06.375 --> 00:12:10.980
  • Out of your car, hands up, up against the car."
  • 00:12:10.980 --> 00:12:13.516
  • He searched her, checked her id.
  • 00:12:13.516 --> 00:12:16.919
  • She said, "what's all that about?"
  • 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.455
  • He said, "well, i saw the way that you were gesturing to the
  • 00:12:19.455 --> 00:12:21.991
  • Driver in front of you, and i heard you honking your horn, and
  • 00:12:21.991 --> 00:12:24.460
  • I saw your bumper sticker.
  • 00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:25.795
  • It said, 'honk if you love jesus.'
  • 00:12:25.795 --> 00:12:27.163
  • I just figured you stole the car."
  • 00:12:27.163 --> 00:12:34.003
  • We need to be living it too, amen?
  • 00:12:34.003 --> 00:12:38.774
  • Bible says, "this is the love of god, that we keep
  • 00:12:38.774 --> 00:12:42.244
  • His commandments."
  • 00:12:42.244 --> 00:12:44.513
  • Isn't it all about love, friends, amen?
  • 00:12:44.513 --> 00:12:47.416
  • Number 8: what three angelic messages will god's end-time
  • 00:12:47.416 --> 00:12:51.120
  • Church be preaching to the world?
  • 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.689
  • Answer--and you read about this in revelation 14, go to your
  • 00:12:53.689 --> 00:12:56.859
  • Bible real quick.
  • 00:12:56.859 --> 00:13:00.229
  • In revelation 14, you're going to notice that something unique
  • 00:13:00.229 --> 00:13:04.166
  • Happens here.
  • 00:13:04.166 --> 00:13:05.901
  • It tells us that jesus comes in revelation 14, verse 14.
  • 00:13:05.901 --> 00:13:12.474
  • You can see here where it says, "then i looked, behold a white
  • 00:13:12.474 --> 00:13:16.278
  • Cloud, and on the cloud one sat like the son of man."
  • 00:13:16.278 --> 00:13:19.014
  • Remember, he had been caught up chapter 12, now he's
  • 00:13:19.014 --> 00:13:21.851
  • Coming back.
  • 00:13:21.851 --> 00:13:23.586
  • "on his head, a golden crown; in his hand, a sharp sickle."
  • 00:13:23.586 --> 00:13:26.789
  • He's coming to harvest the earth.
  • 00:13:26.789 --> 00:13:28.123
  • It's the great judgment day.
  • 00:13:28.123 --> 00:13:30.025
  • What message goes to the world before jesus comes?
  • 00:13:30.025 --> 00:13:33.262
  • Look in chapter 14; starts with verse 6, gives three
  • 00:13:33.262 --> 00:13:36.665
  • Angel messages.
  • 00:13:36.665 --> 00:13:38.901
  • "i saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the
  • 00:13:38.901 --> 00:13:42.137
  • Everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to
  • 00:13:42.137 --> 00:13:46.375
  • Every nation."
  • 00:13:46.375 --> 00:13:47.710
  • It's going to be international: "every nation, every tongue,
  • 00:13:47.710 --> 00:13:50.646
  • Tribe, people.
  • 00:13:50.646 --> 00:13:52.081
  • With a loud voice"--it's going to go by radio and television,
  • 00:13:52.081 --> 00:13:56.986
  • By internet.
  • 00:13:56.986 --> 00:13:59.021
  • "'fear god and give glory to him, for the hour of his
  • 00:13:59.021 --> 00:14:01.757
  • Judgment has come.'"
  • 00:14:01.757 --> 00:14:03.592
  • We have a lesson on that coming tomorrow night.
  • 00:14:03.592 --> 00:14:05.928
  • "'worship him that made,'" calling us back to the creator
  • 00:14:05.928 --> 00:14:09.131
  • And the sabbath truth, "'the springs and the earth and the
  • 00:14:09.131 --> 00:14:13.068
  • Sea and the waters.'
  • 00:14:13.068 --> 00:14:14.436
  • And another angel followed, saying, 'babylon has fallen, has
  • 00:14:14.436 --> 00:14:17.339
  • Fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink the
  • 00:14:17.339 --> 00:14:21.076
  • Wine of the wrath of her fornication.'
  • 00:14:21.076 --> 00:14:23.579
  • And a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'if
  • 00:14:23.579 --> 00:14:28.550
  • Anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark
  • 00:14:28.550 --> 00:14:32.354
  • On his forehead or his hand, the same will drink the wine of the
  • 00:14:32.354 --> 00:14:35.524
  • Wrath of god that has poured out full strength into the cup of
  • 00:14:35.524 --> 00:14:38.627
  • His indignation.'"
  • 00:14:38.627 --> 00:14:40.029
  • You don't want to get the mark of the beast.
  • 00:14:40.029 --> 00:14:42.965
  • We've got a lesson coming on that, friends.
  • 00:14:42.965 --> 00:14:44.833
  • You don't want to make that mistake.
  • 00:14:44.833 --> 00:14:46.802
  • So, let's look at those three angels' messages quickly.
  • 00:14:46.802 --> 00:14:50.105
  • Number 1: "fear god," and you'll see them on the screen, say the
  • 00:14:50.105 --> 00:14:53.008
  • Answer with me.
  • 00:14:53.008 --> 00:14:54.343
  • "fear god, give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment
  • 00:14:54.343 --> 00:14:58.013
  • Has come."
  • 00:14:58.013 --> 00:14:59.381
  • Do you realize that's the end of time?
  • 00:14:59.381 --> 00:15:00.883
  • Do you know that part of god's judgment happens before he even
  • 00:15:00.883 --> 00:15:03.485
  • Gets here?
  • 00:15:03.485 --> 00:15:04.853
  • How do you know that?
  • 00:15:04.853 --> 00:15:06.188
  • Says, "behold, i come; my reward is with me to give to
  • 00:15:06.188 --> 00:15:09.191
  • Every man."
  • 00:15:09.191 --> 00:15:10.526
  • Does god know who's going up and who's not when he comes?
  • 00:15:10.526 --> 00:15:13.128
  • Some judgment happens.
  • 00:15:13.128 --> 00:15:14.563
  • "judgment must begin at the house of god.
  • 00:15:14.563 --> 00:15:16.999
  • If judgment begins at us, what will be the end of them that
  • 00:15:16.999 --> 00:15:19.368
  • Obey not the gospel?"
  • 00:15:19.368 --> 00:15:20.936
  • I'm quoting the bible.
  • 00:15:20.936 --> 00:15:23.172
  • Judgment has come.
  • 00:15:23.172 --> 00:15:24.506
  • Second angel's message: "and worship him who made the heaven
  • 00:15:24.506 --> 00:15:28.510
  • And the earth, and the sea," and that means worship him the right
  • 00:15:28.510 --> 00:15:30.646
  • Way, the right day; true worship of god.
  • 00:15:30.646 --> 00:15:33.849
  • Is there a lot of counterfeit worship today?
  • 00:15:33.849 --> 00:15:36.652
  • There's some people, bless their hearts, they go to church and
  • 00:15:36.652 --> 00:15:38.921
  • These pastors deceive them.
  • 00:15:38.921 --> 00:15:41.323
  • They say, "send me your money and god's going to get you a new
  • 00:15:41.323 --> 00:15:43.892
  • Pickup truck," right?
  • 00:15:43.892 --> 00:15:46.628
  • Just say--they take advantage of people, the counterfeit worship.
  • 00:15:46.628 --> 00:15:52.301
  • Answer the next one, and it says: "another angel followed,
  • 00:15:52.301 --> 00:15:56.739
  • Saying, 'babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because
  • 00:15:56.739 --> 00:16:01.443
  • She has made all nations drink the wine of the wrath of
  • 00:16:01.443 --> 00:16:04.480
  • Her fornication.'"
  • 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.848
  • There'll be a judgment on the people that are in babylon, but
  • 00:16:05.848 --> 00:16:09.385
  • God wants to save babylon.
  • 00:16:09.385 --> 00:16:11.520
  • He's got his people in babylon.
  • 00:16:11.520 --> 00:16:14.089
  • Now, why does it talk about that?
  • 00:16:14.089 --> 00:16:16.525
  • During the time of jeremiah, king nebuchadnezzar, king of
  • 00:16:16.525 --> 00:16:21.930
  • Babylon, conquered jerusalem, brought the jews to babylon, and
  • 00:16:21.930 --> 00:16:26.301
  • They were there for 70 years.
  • 00:16:26.301 --> 00:16:28.037
  • How comfortable would you be for 70 years?
  • 00:16:28.037 --> 00:16:31.373
  • We're only here for three weeks in new york city, and karen and
  • 00:16:31.373 --> 00:16:33.776
  • I have gotten real comfortable in our hotel room.
  • 00:16:33.776 --> 00:16:37.312
  • We just may stay.
  • 00:16:37.312 --> 00:16:39.915
  • But after 70 years, when god said, "you're free now to go
  • 00:16:39.915 --> 00:16:44.019
  • Back," they said, "well, we kind of like it in babylon.
  • 00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:46.088
  • We've learned the language, we've learned the customs, we're
  • 00:16:46.088 --> 00:16:48.323
  • A little babylon-ish ourselves," and he couldn't get his people
  • 00:16:48.323 --> 00:16:51.860
  • Out of babylon.
  • 00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:53.462
  • He said, "but judgment's coming on babylon.
  • 00:16:53.462 --> 00:16:55.464
  • The persians are going to destroy them.
  • 00:16:55.464 --> 00:16:56.999
  • You don't want to be there, go home."
  • 00:16:56.999 --> 00:17:00.602
  • And god is telling his people in babylon, "today they're mixed up
  • 00:17:00.602 --> 00:17:03.806
  • In false religions, false churches.
  • 00:17:03.806 --> 00:17:07.376
  • Babylon is going to fall, the plagues will fall on babylon,
  • 00:17:07.376 --> 00:17:10.546
  • The seven last plagues.
  • 00:17:10.546 --> 00:17:11.914
  • Come out of her, my people."
  • 00:17:11.914 --> 00:17:15.150
  • Jesus has his people in babylon, he's calling them out.
  • 00:17:15.150 --> 00:17:19.755
  • "and a third angel followed them, saying, 'if anyone
  • 00:17:19.755 --> 00:17:22.458
  • Worships the beast in his image, and receives his mark on his
  • 00:17:22.458 --> 00:17:25.994
  • Forehead or on his hand, he will drink the wine of the wrath of
  • 00:17:25.994 --> 00:17:29.631
  • God,'" and that's that same wine--babylon has made people
  • 00:17:29.631 --> 00:17:33.735
  • Drunk with her wine.
  • 00:17:33.735 --> 00:17:35.070
  • Number 9: to whom will god's church preach these messages in
  • 00:17:35.070 --> 00:17:40.375
  • The last days?
  • 00:17:40.375 --> 00:17:42.044
  • Where does it go, the everlasting gospel?
  • 00:17:42.044 --> 00:17:45.280
  • "having the everlasting gospel to preach to," who?
  • 00:17:45.280 --> 00:17:48.584
  • "every nation."
  • 00:17:48.584 --> 00:17:50.786
  • Jesus said the gospel will be preached in all the world, then
  • 00:17:50.786 --> 00:17:53.722
  • The end will come.
  • 00:17:53.722 --> 00:17:55.090
  • Friends, you're living in the generation that will see that
  • 00:17:55.090 --> 00:17:56.959
  • Fulfillment, i believe.
  • 00:17:56.959 --> 00:17:59.161
  • Are you ready for jesus to come?
  • 00:17:59.161 --> 00:18:02.264
  • What specifications has god given in his word to help us
  • 00:18:02.264 --> 00:18:05.567
  • Identify his end-time church?
  • 00:18:05.567 --> 00:18:08.770
  • Well, let's look at what some of the criteria are.
  • 00:18:08.770 --> 00:18:12.608
  • Answer a, let's reevaluate what we just read in our study.
  • 00:18:12.608 --> 00:18:17.246
  • "it's going to appear and do its visible work after it emerges
  • 00:18:17.246 --> 00:18:21.316
  • From the wilderness in 1798."
  • 00:18:21.316 --> 00:18:23.485
  • Now, i just got to stop here and just say something to you.
  • 00:18:23.485 --> 00:18:26.889
  • I believe that god's got a remnant.
  • 00:18:26.889 --> 00:18:29.057
  • You know what a remnant is?
  • 00:18:29.057 --> 00:18:30.959
  • It's the remainder.
  • 00:18:30.959 --> 00:18:33.195
  • How many of you ladies have ever done any sewing?
  • 00:18:33.195 --> 00:18:35.297
  • You go to the store and you buy a remnant.
  • 00:18:35.297 --> 00:18:38.934
  • When i take my wallet out, everyone gets real quiet for
  • 00:18:38.934 --> 00:18:42.604
  • Some reason.
  • 00:18:42.604 --> 00:18:43.939
  • Okay, i've got--what do i got here?
  • 00:18:43.939 --> 00:18:45.274
  • I got a $10 bill, all right.
  • 00:18:45.274 --> 00:18:48.677
  • When they make cloth at the factory on the loom, they get
  • 00:18:48.677 --> 00:18:52.714
  • The bolt--you know, the cardboard tube--and they begin
  • 00:18:52.714 --> 00:18:56.919
  • To roll the cloth onto the cardboard tube, right?
  • 00:18:56.919 --> 00:19:01.557
  • What goes on first?
  • 00:19:01.557 --> 00:19:03.659
  • And they roll it all up, and then they--people come to the
  • 00:19:03.659 --> 00:19:06.461
  • Store and they say, "i'd like to buy some," and they buy little
  • 00:19:06.461 --> 00:19:09.464
  • Pieces and they cut it off, and they buy what they need for
  • 00:19:09.464 --> 00:19:11.934
  • Their pillows and their curtains, they cut off the
  • 00:19:11.934 --> 00:19:13.602
  • Cloth, and finally someone will say, "well, i only need so much,
  • 00:19:13.602 --> 00:19:16.505
  • And i got this little piece left over," and what's it called?
  • 00:19:16.505 --> 00:19:19.508
  • It's a remnant.
  • 00:19:19.508 --> 00:19:20.876
  • It's what's at the end, but you know what's at the end?
  • 00:19:20.876 --> 00:19:22.844
  • It's what went on first.
  • 00:19:22.844 --> 00:19:26.515
  • What comes off at the end is what went on first.
  • 00:19:26.515 --> 00:19:30.352
  • God's church in the last days is going to be following the
  • 00:19:30.352 --> 00:19:32.955
  • Scriptures the way the church did in the beginning.
  • 00:19:32.955 --> 00:19:36.425
  • The bible says, "we are going to return to the faith that was
  • 00:19:36.425 --> 00:19:40.062
  • Once delivered to the saints."
  • 00:19:40.062 --> 00:19:43.198
  • The bible tells us that "there'll be a remnant."
  • 00:19:43.198 --> 00:19:46.468
  • God saved a remnant in the days of noah, right?
  • 00:19:46.468 --> 00:19:50.939
  • He saved a remnant called abraham from babel.
  • 00:19:50.939 --> 00:19:54.409
  • Ur of the chaldees, he saved a remnant out of babylon.
  • 00:19:54.409 --> 00:20:00.115
  • And after the persecution of 1260 years and the church went
  • 00:20:00.115 --> 00:20:05.220
  • Underground, there was a great revival movement that took place
  • 00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:08.757
  • About 150 years ago where christians from all different
  • 00:20:08.757 --> 00:20:12.294
  • Backgrounds said, "let's find out what the bible really says.
  • 00:20:12.294 --> 00:20:15.998
  • Jesus does not want us divided by our denominations.
  • 00:20:15.998 --> 00:20:21.003
  • Let's pray for the spirit and open the word, and kneel and
  • 00:20:21.003 --> 00:20:23.472
  • Spend nights in prayer and get back to the bible."
  • 00:20:23.472 --> 00:20:26.108
  • That was the birth of the movement that's bringing you
  • 00:20:26.108 --> 00:20:28.944
  • This seminar.
  • 00:20:28.944 --> 00:20:31.446
  • Now, you say, "well, what church is that?"
  • 00:20:31.446 --> 00:20:33.315
  • I don't like to call it a denomination, but we're called
  • 00:20:33.315 --> 00:20:35.851
  • Seventh day adventists.
  • 00:20:35.851 --> 00:20:37.419
  • I don't often say it because i don't like to brag about it, but
  • 00:20:37.419 --> 00:20:40.055
  • I'm a seventh day adventist christian.
  • 00:20:40.055 --> 00:20:41.623
  • It's very simple, it means we believe in keeping all the
  • 00:20:41.623 --> 00:20:45.294
  • Commandments, including the 7th, and we believe christ is
  • 00:20:45.294 --> 00:20:47.963
  • Coming back.
  • 00:20:47.963 --> 00:20:49.331
  • It's the blessed hope, and we're telling people, "get ready, get
  • 00:20:49.331 --> 00:20:50.866
  • Ready, get ready."
  • 00:20:50.866 --> 00:20:52.434
  • And we are--do you know, north america, the seventh day
  • 00:20:52.434 --> 00:20:55.871
  • Adventist church is voted as the most diverse church ethnically
  • 00:20:55.871 --> 00:21:00.175
  • In that we have people from all different backgrounds, and it is
  • 00:21:00.175 --> 00:21:04.546
  • The fastest growing protestant church in the world today, and
  • 00:21:04.546 --> 00:21:08.350
  • They have the biggest educational system, second to
  • 00:21:08.350 --> 00:21:11.953
  • The catholic church.
  • 00:21:11.953 --> 00:21:13.588
  • They have the biggest medical system, second to the catholic
  • 00:21:13.588 --> 00:21:16.958
  • Church, and they're spreading everywhere because people are
  • 00:21:16.958 --> 00:21:20.028
  • Saying, "hey, if you're going to be a bible christian, where else
  • 00:21:20.028 --> 00:21:22.497
  • Are you going to go?"
  • 00:21:22.497 --> 00:21:24.232
  • What does your church believe?
  • 00:21:24.232 --> 00:21:26.234
  • "well, my church believes like my pastor."
  • 00:21:26.234 --> 00:21:29.471
  • What does your pastor believe?
  • 00:21:29.471 --> 00:21:31.073
  • "like my church."
  • 00:21:31.073 --> 00:21:33.809
  • What does your pastor and your church believe?
  • 00:21:33.809 --> 00:21:35.610
  • "same thing i believe."
  • 00:21:35.610 --> 00:21:38.380
  • People don't know what they believe, do they?
  • 00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:41.083
  • We got to go by the bible, friends, amen?
  • 00:21:41.083 --> 00:21:45.020
  • This church began during that time period.
  • 00:21:45.020 --> 00:21:48.423
  • It's following the '798 year time period.
  • 00:21:48.423 --> 00:21:53.662
  • It says, answer b, "it'll teach the same truths the apostles
  • 00:21:53.662 --> 00:21:58.166
  • Taught," we mentioned that.
  • 00:21:58.166 --> 00:21:59.801
  • Answer c: "it will keep the ten commandments, including the
  • 00:21:59.801 --> 00:22:03.205
  • Sabbath," amen?
  • 00:22:03.205 --> 00:22:05.607
  • Answer d: "it will have the spirit of prophecy."
  • 00:22:05.607 --> 00:22:07.676
  • It goes by the law and the prophets, and believes in all
  • 00:22:07.676 --> 00:22:09.745
  • The gifts of the spirit, friends, amen?
  • 00:22:09.745 --> 00:22:12.047
  • I believe the power of god is still alive today.
  • 00:22:12.047 --> 00:22:15.083
  • "it'll proclaim god's three-time end-time message with a
  • 00:22:15.083 --> 00:22:18.253
  • Loud voice."
  • 00:22:18.253 --> 00:22:19.588
  • It'll be a global international church.
  • 00:22:19.588 --> 00:22:21.089
  • It's not a local corner fellowship, it is an
  • 00:22:21.089 --> 00:22:23.925
  • International movement.
  • 00:22:23.925 --> 00:22:25.694
  • We meet that criteria.
  • 00:22:25.694 --> 00:22:27.629
  • "it'll teach the everlasting gospel, which is salvation
  • 00:22:27.629 --> 00:22:31.400
  • Through christ alone," which is what we teach and believe.
  • 00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:35.404
  • Now jesus, number 11: he gives us these seven prophetic
  • 00:22:35.404 --> 00:22:38.907
  • Identifying points.
  • 00:22:38.907 --> 00:22:40.242
  • He said, "go find my church."
  • 00:22:40.242 --> 00:22:42.144
  • What is the promise of jesus if we seek?
  • 00:22:42.144 --> 00:22:45.480
  • "seek, and you will find."
  • 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:47.816
  • Where do we search?
  • 00:22:47.816 --> 00:22:49.584
  • In the word, you run to and fro through the word of god.
  • 00:22:49.584 --> 00:22:53.722
  • How many church organizations in the world will fit these
  • 00:22:53.722 --> 00:22:56.525
  • Seven points?
  • 00:22:56.525 --> 00:22:58.927
  • The bible says, there is "one lord, one faith," how many?
  • 00:22:58.927 --> 00:23:05.333
  • One faith; god wants his people united on truth, "one baptism."
  • 00:23:05.333 --> 00:23:11.873
  • Since there's so many different churches in the world today and
  • 00:23:11.873 --> 00:23:14.810
  • So many different denominations call themselves the truth, does
  • 00:23:14.810 --> 00:23:19.481
  • That make them god's true church?
  • 00:23:19.481 --> 00:23:22.384
  • No, read isaiah chapter 4, verse 1: "and in that day seven
  • 00:23:22.384 --> 00:23:28.990
  • Women," what's a woman represent?
  • 00:23:28.990 --> 00:23:30.325
  • Congregation: the church.
  • 00:23:30.325 --> 00:23:31.693
  • Doug: "will take hold of one man," jesus, the son of man,
  • 00:23:31.693 --> 00:23:34.529
  • "saying, 'we'll eat our own bread," our own word of god.
  • 00:23:34.529 --> 00:23:38.633
  • "we'll wear our own apparel," our own righteousness.
  • 00:23:38.633 --> 00:23:41.970
  • "only let us call ourselves by your name," we're going to call
  • 00:23:41.970 --> 00:23:45.106
  • Ourselves christian, "to take away our reproach."
  • 00:23:45.106 --> 00:23:48.577
  • There are more different churches that call themselves
  • 00:23:48.577 --> 00:23:51.813
  • Christians that don't follow the bible than any other religion.
  • 00:23:51.813 --> 00:23:55.450
  • Christianity is the most divided because it's the genuine and the
  • 00:23:55.450 --> 00:23:58.386
  • Devil is fighting it; but there is a truth, friends, based on
  • 00:23:58.386 --> 00:24:04.125
  • God's word.
  • 00:24:04.125 --> 00:24:05.494
  • Jesus said in the last days, wolves would come in not sparing
  • 00:24:05.494 --> 00:24:08.330
  • The flock.
  • 00:24:08.330 --> 00:24:09.764
  • So once a person discovers god's true end-time church, is it
  • 00:24:09.764 --> 00:24:14.102
  • Necessary to become a member?
  • 00:24:14.102 --> 00:24:16.371
  • "and the lord added to the"--who added to the church?
  • 00:24:16.371 --> 00:24:21.109
  • "the lord added to the church," his body, "daily those who were
  • 00:24:21.109 --> 00:24:26.214
  • Being saved."
  • 00:24:26.214 --> 00:24:27.582
  • Jesus had the 12 apostles, and then later he numbered 70
  • 00:24:27.582 --> 00:24:30.151
  • Disciples, and then they went, and the counts when they joined:
  • 00:24:30.151 --> 00:24:33.021
  • 3000, then 5000.
  • 00:24:33.021 --> 00:24:35.557
  • God has his people.
  • 00:24:35.557 --> 00:24:37.526
  • Number 15: how many ways of escape were there in noah's day?
  • 00:24:37.526 --> 00:24:43.265
  • Jesus said it'll be like it was in the days of noah.
  • 00:24:43.265 --> 00:24:46.201
  • "by faith, noah built a fleet of arks."
  • 00:24:46.201 --> 00:24:50.205
  • No: "he prepared an ark," one.
  • 00:24:50.205 --> 00:24:54.776
  • One lord, one faith, "for the saving of his household."
  • 00:24:54.776 --> 00:24:58.413
  • Christ has an ark in the last days, friends.
  • 00:24:58.413 --> 00:25:01.016

  • You know, information is not going to save us.
  • 00:25:08.056 --> 00:25:10.125
  • It's a relationship with jesus, the one who died on the cross
  • 00:25:10.125 --> 00:25:13.161
  • For your sins.
  • 00:25:13.161 --> 00:25:14.529
