  • "prophecy odyssey" adventure.
  • 00:01:11.987 --> 00:01:14.590
  • Doug: where did the woman go during this terrifying period of
  • 00:01:14.590 --> 00:01:17.860
  • Persecution--and how long did it last?
  • 00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:21.697
  • Now, let me tell you what happened, and then we'll get
  • 00:01:21.697 --> 00:01:23.165
  • To the answer.
  • 00:01:23.165 --> 00:01:24.700
  • So, with the conversion of constantine and christianity
  • 00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:28.103
  • Being legalized--and suddenly it's very popular--all over rome
  • 00:01:28.103 --> 00:01:31.974
  • They had all these pagan priests.
  • 00:01:31.974 --> 00:01:34.576
  • Constantine said, "christianity is legalized."
  • 00:01:34.576 --> 00:01:36.712
  • His mother became a christian, and the pagan priest said,
  • 00:01:36.712 --> 00:01:39.848
  • "well, i'd like to stay on the government payroll, i'll be a
  • 00:01:39.848 --> 00:01:42.551
  • Christian," and all of these pagans began to join the church
  • 00:01:42.551 --> 00:01:47.256
  • Before they were converted or even taught.
  • 00:01:47.256 --> 00:01:49.758
  • In fact, when constantine was fighting the battle of
  • 00:01:49.758 --> 00:01:53.162
  • Maximilian and he came to the tiber river, he claimed to see a
  • 00:01:53.162 --> 00:01:57.032
  • Vision where he was to conquer under the sign of the cross, and
  • 00:01:57.032 --> 00:02:00.169
  • They began to paint red crosses on their shields, and he ordered
  • 00:02:00.169 --> 00:02:04.606
  • His army for good luck to march through the tiber river, and he
  • 00:02:04.606 --> 00:02:10.312
  • Says, "i'm going to baptize the whole lot of you, march through
  • 00:02:10.312 --> 00:02:13.215
  • The river."
  • 00:02:13.215 --> 00:02:14.550
  • Well, they had not been taught, and so you got all of these dry
  • 00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:19.021
  • Pagans that go through the river, and they come up wet
  • 00:02:19.021 --> 00:02:21.857
  • Pagans, but they're being told, "you're christians now."
  • 00:02:21.857 --> 00:02:24.726
  • They have no idea what that means, and they have all these
  • 00:02:24.726 --> 00:02:27.696
  • Idols all over rome.
  • 00:02:27.696 --> 00:02:29.765
  • They had more idols than tiles on the rooftop in rome, and they
  • 00:02:29.765 --> 00:02:34.369
  • Said, "what do we do with our idols?"
  • 00:02:34.369 --> 00:02:36.238
  • And they said, "well, let's change their names, give them
  • 00:02:36.238 --> 00:02:38.340
  • Christian names.
  • 00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:41.143
  • And diana, we'll call her mary; and jupiter, apollo, mercury:
  • 00:02:41.143 --> 00:02:45.681
  • Peter, james, and john."
  • 00:02:45.681 --> 00:02:47.816
  • And all of a sudden, idolatry just swept into the church.
  • 00:02:47.816 --> 00:02:53.722
  • And the priests, instead of being like the people--you know,
  • 00:02:53.722 --> 00:02:57.793
  • Jesus did not dress in special vestments, he dressed like a
  • 00:02:57.793 --> 00:03:01.230
  • Carpenter--but now they started to priest for an upper class.
  • 00:03:01.230 --> 00:03:07.102
  • And they said, "you know, we better not give the bibles to
  • 00:03:07.102 --> 00:03:09.938
  • The people, if you give the bibles to the people,
  • 00:03:09.938 --> 00:03:11.840
  • They're going to find out salvation is a gift
  • 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.077
  • And we've been selling it.
  • 00:03:15.077 --> 00:03:17.446
  • And if they want forgiveness, they've got to pay indulgences
  • 00:03:17.446 --> 00:03:20.983
  • To the church."
  • 00:03:20.983 --> 00:03:22.884
  • And all of a sudden, the priests became a special class, and they
  • 00:03:22.884 --> 00:03:27.389
  • Were living in palaces, and the people were being ground down,
  • 00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:31.827
  • And the religion became a government institution.
  • 00:03:31.827 --> 00:03:37.199
  • That's how the capital of christianity moved from
  • 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.801
  • Jerusalem to rome.
  • 00:03:39.801 --> 00:03:42.604
  • You still with me?
  • 00:03:42.604 --> 00:03:44.006
  • This is history, friends.
  • 00:03:44.006 --> 00:03:45.340
  • I mean, anybody can look this up.
  • 00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:48.243
  • And all of a sudden, there was tremendous compromise, and what
  • 00:03:48.243 --> 00:03:52.214
  • You had is there are still many sincere christians that were in
  • 00:03:52.214 --> 00:03:54.883
  • Rome, and they were fighting against the compromise, but all
  • 00:03:54.883 --> 00:03:58.287
  • Of a sudden you had the co-mingling of christianity
  • 00:03:58.287 --> 00:04:01.623
  • And paganism.
  • 00:04:01.623 --> 00:04:03.325
  • They started saying "hell burns forever" because they got that
  • 00:04:03.325 --> 00:04:05.761
  • From greek mythology with pluto, and they started saying you have
  • 00:04:05.761 --> 00:04:10.932
  • To--you can pay for your sins, salvation by works; everything
  • 00:04:10.932 --> 00:04:14.936
  • Began to change.
  • 00:04:14.936 --> 00:04:17.739
  • True christians began to get persecuted.
  • 00:04:17.739 --> 00:04:21.943
  • By the time of justinian--about 538 ad--justinian, the roman
  • 00:04:21.943 --> 00:04:26.715
  • Emperor, he said, "i'm moving the capital of constantinople.
  • 00:04:26.715 --> 00:04:30.886
  • I'm going to give--the bishop of rome is now going to be the head
  • 00:04:30.886 --> 00:04:33.455
  • Of the church.
  • 00:04:33.455 --> 00:04:34.823
  • We're going to call him the supreme papa, the father,
  • 00:04:34.823 --> 00:04:36.591
  • The pope.
  • 00:04:36.591 --> 00:04:38.293
  • That happened years after jesus.
  • 00:04:38.293 --> 00:04:42.297
  • Jesus never said peter was the leader of the church.
  • 00:04:42.297 --> 00:04:46.535
  • Jesus is the leader of the church.
  • 00:04:46.535 --> 00:04:49.471
  • In fact, right after jesus says, "peter--yeah, you--because of
  • 00:04:49.471 --> 00:04:54.443
  • Your declaration that i'm the messiah, on that rock of your
  • 00:04:54.443 --> 00:04:58.180
  • Declaration i'm going to build my church.
  • 00:04:58.180 --> 00:04:59.715
  • The gates of hell will not prevail against it, and i'm
  • 00:04:59.715 --> 00:05:01.983
  • Going to go to jerusalem where i'm going to die," and peter
  • 00:05:01.983 --> 00:05:04.486
  • Said, "no, no, lord, don't do that."
  • 00:05:04.486 --> 00:05:06.321
  • Jesus turned to peter and said, "get behind me, satan."
  • 00:05:06.321 --> 00:05:09.725
  • In the same passage where people say he's the first pope, jesus
  • 00:05:09.725 --> 00:05:13.161
  • Calls him satan.
  • 00:05:13.161 --> 00:05:15.263
  • Totally misunderstood.
  • 00:05:15.263 --> 00:05:18.800
  • So christians had to flee into the wilderness.
  • 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.703
  • Notice: "the woman"--now, we're still in revelation 12, you
  • 00:05:21.703 --> 00:05:25.574
  • Tracking with me?
  • 00:05:25.574 --> 00:05:27.509
  • "the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a
  • 00:05:27.509 --> 00:05:30.412
  • Place prepared by god, that they should feed her there one
  • 00:05:30.412 --> 00:05:33.515
  • Thousand two hundred and sixty days."
  • 00:05:33.515 --> 00:05:37.319
  • A time of great persecution happened because the church in
  • 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.322
  • Rome became a government institution that not only ruled
  • 00:05:40.322 --> 00:05:43.291
  • Over rome, they began to rule over all of the empires under
  • 00:05:43.291 --> 00:05:46.762
  • The roman empire.
  • 00:05:46.762 --> 00:05:48.397
  • And with the conversion of clovis, the king of the franks,
  • 00:05:48.397 --> 00:05:51.433
  • You had the holy roman empire.
  • 00:05:51.433 --> 00:05:54.136
  • And, how many of you have played chess?
  • 00:05:54.136 --> 00:05:58.306
  • You got the king and the queen, and who's on the right of the
  • 00:05:58.306 --> 00:06:00.509
  • King and the queen?
  • 00:06:00.509 --> 00:06:02.110
  • Bishop, bishop.
  • 00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:03.912
  • You look at the churches all through europe during that time
  • 00:06:03.912 --> 00:06:06.081
  • Of history, and you had the king and the queen, and then you had
  • 00:06:06.081 --> 00:06:08.417
  • The church, and they had to clear everything with the
  • 00:06:08.417 --> 00:06:11.453
  • Church, and if the king and the queen did not clear it with the
  • 00:06:11.453 --> 00:06:14.022
  • Church, then the whole nation could be excommunicated.
  • 00:06:14.022 --> 00:06:17.225
  • And the reason that you got the church of england is because
  • 00:06:17.225 --> 00:06:20.462
  • Henry kept killing his wives because they couldn't have
  • 00:06:20.462 --> 00:06:22.998
  • Children, and the church said, "look, enough is enough.
  • 00:06:22.998 --> 00:06:25.233
  • You've killed five or six wives, you know.
  • 00:06:25.233 --> 00:06:27.869
  • We can't approve your divorce."
  • 00:06:27.869 --> 00:06:29.204
  • He said, "well then, i'm just going to start my own church,"
  • 00:06:29.204 --> 00:06:33.175
  • And the church of england broke away because they're--and the
  • 00:06:33.175 --> 00:06:37.746
  • Whole nation was excommunicated at that time.
  • 00:06:37.746 --> 00:06:41.283
  • And so, the church had tremendous power over europe
  • 00:06:41.283 --> 00:06:44.986
  • During this time.
  • 00:06:44.986 --> 00:06:46.354
  • True christians that read the bible for themselves had to flee
  • 00:06:46.354 --> 00:06:49.224
  • Into the mountains.
  • 00:06:49.224 --> 00:06:50.592
  • They went into the italian and the swiss alps, and they kept
  • 00:06:50.592 --> 00:06:54.362
  • The purity of the faith, and they would copy out the
  • 00:06:54.362 --> 00:06:57.065
  • Scriptures by hand, and they'd send their merchants and their
  • 00:06:57.065 --> 00:07:00.068
  • Children into town to give little sections of scripture to
  • 00:07:00.068 --> 00:07:03.038
  • People to spread the faith and keep it alive, but the
  • 00:07:03.038 --> 00:07:06.007
  • Church--"clothed in the sackcloth" is what
  • 00:07:06.007 --> 00:07:08.977
  • Revelation says.
  • 00:07:08.977 --> 00:07:10.745
  • You know what sackcloth is?
  • 00:07:10.745 --> 00:07:12.414
  • When i was a kid, we had potato bags.
  • 00:07:12.414 --> 00:07:13.982
  • You don't have them anymore, they're plastic now.
  • 00:07:13.982 --> 00:07:16.284
  • How many remember burlap bags?
  • 00:07:16.284 --> 00:07:19.287
  • Kind of cloth, but it's cheap cloth, and light can still get
  • 00:07:19.287 --> 00:07:22.290
  • Through it, but it's obscured.
  • 00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:25.627
  • And the church, the light of the church was obscured during that
  • 00:07:25.627 --> 00:07:28.430
  • Time, had to go underground.
  • 00:07:28.430 --> 00:07:31.366
  • You know how long it lasted?
  • 00:07:31.366 --> 00:07:33.268
  • From 538 when the pope became the supreme ruler, it was given
  • 00:07:33.268 --> 00:07:37.072
  • An army, and christianity was enforced by an army--jesus never
  • 00:07:37.072 --> 00:07:42.244
  • Told us to force people to be christians--until napoleon came
  • 00:07:42.244 --> 00:07:46.515
  • Along in 1798.
  • 00:07:46.515 --> 00:07:48.617
  • The pope was arrested, they lost their universal power, and he
  • 00:07:48.617 --> 00:07:52.888
  • Died in captivity.
  • 00:07:52.888 --> 00:07:54.890
  • From 538 to 1798, you've got 1260 years.
  • 00:07:54.890 --> 00:08:01.162
  • It says "for 1260 days," 42 months, a time, a time, and the
  • 00:08:01.162 --> 00:08:06.535
  • Dividing of time; that time period is in prophecy
  • 00:08:06.535 --> 00:08:09.504
  • Many times.
  • 00:08:09.504 --> 00:08:10.872
  • By the way, what is god's number in the bible, god's number?
  • 00:08:10.872 --> 00:08:14.075
  • Seven, what is half of seven?
  • 00:08:14.075 --> 00:08:16.478
  • Three and a half.
  • 00:08:16.478 --> 00:08:17.946
  • It usually represents a time of persecution.
  • 00:08:17.946 --> 00:08:21.016
  • How long did jesus preach?
  • 00:08:21.016 --> 00:08:22.517
  • Three and a half years, and then he died.
  • 00:08:22.517 --> 00:08:26.221
  • And then the apostles preached for 3.5 years, and then stephen
  • 00:08:26.221 --> 00:08:31.927
  • Was killed exactly 3.5 years later.
  • 00:08:31.927 --> 00:08:35.196
  • And you look at the story in the old testament of elijah.
  • 00:08:35.196 --> 00:08:38.366
  • For 3.5 years, elijah preached, and the prophets had to
  • 00:08:38.366 --> 00:08:41.403
  • Go underground.
  • 00:08:41.403 --> 00:08:42.737
  • They were hidden in caves until he had his mount carmel
  • 00:08:42.737 --> 00:08:46.675
  • Experience, and even then he had great persecution.
  • 00:08:46.675 --> 00:08:49.077
  • Elijah had to run from his life from jezebel, a woman.
  • 00:08:49.077 --> 00:08:54.349
  • I'm talking about a woman representing the church.
  • 00:08:54.349 --> 00:08:56.084
  • She was a pagan woman that married a jewish king.
  • 00:08:56.084 --> 00:09:00.622
  • The combination of paganism and the truth was persecuting the
  • 00:09:00.622 --> 00:09:05.493
  • Prophets of god.
  • 00:09:05.493 --> 00:09:06.828
  • What happened in the old testament was repeated in
  • 00:09:06.828 --> 00:09:09.364
  • History, and it's going to happen again in the last days.
  • 00:09:09.364 --> 00:09:12.701
  • You--is it making sense?
  • 00:09:12.701 --> 00:09:14.903
  • All right, so she flees into the wilderness.
  • 00:09:14.903 --> 00:09:16.705
  • Number 6: what are two other identifying marks of god's
  • 00:09:16.705 --> 00:09:21.176
  • True church?
  • 00:09:21.176 --> 00:09:22.544
  • You get down to the end of chapter 12, it says, "and the
  • 00:09:22.544 --> 00:09:24.613
  • Dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war
  • 00:09:24.613 --> 00:09:29.784
  • With the rest," that means the remnant, "of her offspring," who
  • 00:09:29.784 --> 00:09:32.554
  • Do what?
  • 00:09:32.554 --> 00:09:33.922
  • "keeps the commandments of god, and has the testimony of jesus."
  • 00:09:33.922 --> 00:09:40.462
  • If you read in isaiah, chapter 8, says, "bind up the testimony,
  • 00:09:40.462 --> 00:09:46.001
  • Seal the law among my disciples," the law and
  • 00:09:46.001 --> 00:09:50.071
  • The testimony.
  • 00:09:50.071 --> 00:09:51.439
  • Read in revelation 19, verse 10.
  • 00:09:51.439 --> 00:09:54.075
  • John is talking to an angel, he falls down to worship the angel.
  • 00:09:54.075 --> 00:09:57.178
  • The angel says, "don't worship me, don't worship anyone
  • 00:09:57.178 --> 00:09:59.314
  • But god--we're not to pray to angels, we're not to pray to
  • 00:09:59.314 --> 00:10:02.017
  • Statues," say amen?
  • 00:10:02.017 --> 00:10:04.152
  • Said, "pray to god."
  • 00:10:04.152 --> 00:10:05.654
  • You don't even pray to angels.
  • 00:10:05.654 --> 00:10:08.056
  • And the angel said, "fear god, i am of your fellow servants who
  • 00:10:08.056 --> 00:10:11.960
  • Keep the testimony of god, for the testimony of god is the
  • 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.264
  • Spirit of prophecy."
  • 00:10:16.264 --> 00:10:18.333
  • The law and the testimony, the law and the prophets,
  • 00:10:18.333 --> 00:10:21.970
  • Two characteristics.
  • 00:10:21.970 --> 00:10:23.304
  • Read in isaiah chapter 8, verse 20; according to the law and the
  • 00:10:23.304 --> 00:10:27.809
  • Testimony, the word of god, "if they speak not according to this
  • 00:10:27.809 --> 00:10:31.246
  • Word, there's no light in them."
  • 00:10:31.246 --> 00:10:33.014
  • The word of god is dual in nature: ten commandments, two
  • 00:10:33.014 --> 00:10:36.117
  • Tables of stone.
  • 00:10:36.117 --> 00:10:37.485
  • You've got the bible, the new and the old testament.
  • 00:10:37.485 --> 00:10:40.522
  • These are the two witnesses in revelation 11--we'll get to that
  • 00:10:40.522 --> 00:10:43.191
  • Another time--symbolized by moses and elijah, the law and
  • 00:10:43.191 --> 00:10:46.895
  • The prophets, and god's people will have the word of god.
  • 00:10:46.895 --> 00:10:52.734
  • Now, you might say, "well, yeah, every church keeps the
  • 00:10:52.734 --> 00:10:54.736
  • Commandments, some of them."
  • 00:10:54.736 --> 00:10:57.105
  • Oh, no, no friends, god's looking for people that will
  • 00:10:57.105 --> 00:10:59.107
  • Believe in all ten.
  • 00:10:59.107 --> 00:11:00.775
  • God does not call them the ten suggestions.
  • 00:11:00.775 --> 00:11:04.979
  • They are not called the ten good ideas, they're not god's ten
  • 00:11:04.979 --> 00:11:09.651
  • Recommendations, they are the ten commandments of god, amen?
  • 00:11:09.651 --> 00:11:14.923
  • Everybody in jail keeps some of them some of the time.
  • 00:11:14.923 --> 00:11:20.395
  • You keep them when you're sleeping for a few hours each
  • 00:11:20.395 --> 00:11:22.897
  • Night, and even then you might be dubious.
  • 00:11:22.897 --> 00:11:29.337
  • God is looking for people that believe in all ten, amen?
  • 00:11:29.337 --> 00:11:33.608
  • Keeping not just the letter, but keeping the spirit of the law as
  • 00:11:33.608 --> 00:11:37.312
  • Well, amen?
  • 00:11:37.312 --> 00:11:39.581
  • So the dragon especially hates that group of people.
  • 00:11:39.581 --> 00:11:43.351
  • Number 7: how did jesus say that we're to demonstrate our love
  • 00:11:43.351 --> 00:11:46.621
  • For him?
  • 00:11:46.621 --> 00:11:48.356
  • He said what?
  • 00:11:48.356 --> 00:11:50.258
  • "if you love me, honk your horn."
  • 00:11:50.258 --> 00:11:55.163
  • I heard about a woman that--she was stuck in traffic and she
  • 00:11:55.163 --> 00:12:00.201
  • Began to honk her horn and shake her fist; didn't know that the
  • 00:12:00.201 --> 00:12:04.706
  • Policeman was behind her.
  • 00:12:04.706 --> 00:12:06.374
  • He jumped out of his car and he pulled his gun and he said, "get
  • 00:12:06.374 --> 00:12:10.979
  • Out of your car, hands up, up against the car."
  • 00:12:10.979 --> 00:12:13.515
  • He searched her, checked her id.
  • 00:12:13.515 --> 00:12:16.918
  • She said, "what's all that about?"
  • 00:12:16.918 --> 00:12:19.454
  • He said, "well, i saw the way that you were gesturing to the
  • 00:12:19.454 --> 00:12:21.990
  • Driver in front of you, and i heard you honking your horn, and
  • 00:12:21.990 --> 00:12:24.459
  • I saw your bumper sticker.
  • 00:12:24.459 --> 00:12:25.794
  • It said, 'honk if you love jesus.'
  • 00:12:25.794 --> 00:12:27.162
  • I just figured you stole the car."
  • 00:12:27.162 --> 00:12:34.002
  • We need to be living it too, amen?
  • 00:12:34.002 --> 00:12:38.773
  • Bible says, "this is the love of god, that we keep
  • 00:12:38.773 --> 00:12:42.243
  • His commandments."
  • 00:12:42.243 --> 00:12:44.512
  • Isn't it all about love, friends, amen?
  • 00:12:44.512 --> 00:12:47.415
  • Number 8: what three angelic messages will god's end-time
  • 00:12:47.415 --> 00:12:51.119
  • Church be preaching to the world?
  • 00:12:51.119 --> 00:12:53.688
  • Answer--and you read about this in revelation 14, go to your
  • 00:12:53.688 --> 00:12:56.858
  • Bible real quick.
  • 00:12:56.858 --> 00:13:00.228
  • In revelation 14, you're going to notice that something unique
  • 00:13:00.228 --> 00:13:04.165
  • Happens here.
  • 00:13:04.165 --> 00:13:05.900
  • It tells us that jesus comes in revelation 14, verse 14.
  • 00:13:05.900 --> 00:13:12.473
  • You can see here where it says, "then i looked, behold a white
  • 00:13:12.473 --> 00:13:16.277
  • Cloud, and on the cloud one sat like the son of man."
  • 00:13:16.277 --> 00:13:19.013
  • Remember, he had been caught up chapter 12, now he's
  • 00:13:19.013 --> 00:13:21.850
  • Coming back.
  • 00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:23.585
  • "on his head, a golden crown; in his hand, a sharp sickle."
  • 00:13:23.585 --> 00:13:26.788
  • He's coming to harvest the earth.
  • 00:13:26.788 --> 00:13:28.122
  • It's the great judgment day.
  • 00:13:28.122 --> 00:13:30.024
  • What message goes to the world before jesus comes?
  • 00:13:30.024 --> 00:13:33.261
  • Look in chapter 14; starts with verse 6, gives three
  • 00:13:33.261 --> 00:13:36.664
  • Angel messages.
  • 00:13:36.664 --> 00:13:38.900
  • "i saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the
  • 00:13:38.900 --> 00:13:42.136
  • Everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to
  • 00:13:42.136 --> 00:13:46.374
  • Every nation."
  • 00:13:46.374 --> 00:13:47.709
  • It's going to be international: "every nation, every tongue,
  • 00:13:47.709 --> 00:13:50.645
  • Tribe, people.
  • 00:13:50.645 --> 00:13:52.080
  • With a loud voice"--it's going to go by radio and television,
  • 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.985
  • By internet.
  • 00:13:56.985 --> 00:13:59.020
  • "'fear god and give glory to him, for the hour of his
  • 00:13:59.020 --> 00:14:01.756
  • Judgment has come.'"
  • 00:14:01.756 --> 00:14:03.591
  • We have a lesson on that coming tomorrow night.
  • 00:14:03.591 --> 00:14:05.927
  • "'worship him that made,'" calling us back to the creator
  • 00:14:05.927 --> 00:14:09.130
  • And the sabbath truth, "'the springs and the earth and the
  • 00:14:09.130 --> 00:14:13.067
  • Sea and the waters.'
  • 00:14:13.067 --> 00:14:14.435
  • And another angel followed, saying, 'babylon has fallen, has
  • 00:14:14.435 --> 00:14:17.338
  • Fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink the
  • 00:14:17.338 --> 00:14:21.075
  • Wine of the wrath of her fornication.'
  • 00:14:21.075 --> 00:14:23.578
  • And a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 'if
  • 00:14:23.578 --> 00:14:28.549
  • Anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark
  • 00:14:28.549 --> 00:14:32.353
  • On his forehead or his hand, the same will drink the wine of the
  • 00:14:32.353 --> 00:14:35.523
  • Wrath of god that has poured out full strength into the cup of
  • 00:14:35.523 --> 00:14:38.626
  • His indignation.'"
  • 00:14:38.626 --> 00:14:40.028
  • You don't want to get the mark of the beast.
  • 00:14:40.028 --> 00:14:42.964
  • We've got a lesson coming on that, friends.
  • 00:14:42.964 --> 00:14:44.832
  • You don't want to make that mistake.
  • 00:14:44.832 --> 00:14:46.801
  • So, let's look at those three angels' messages quickly.
  • 00:14:46.801 --> 00:14:50.104
  • Number 1: "fear god," and you'll see them on the screen, say the
  • 00:14:50.104 --> 00:14:53.007
  • Answer with me.
  • 00:14:53.007 --> 00:14:54.342
  • "fear god, give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment
  • 00:14:54.342 --> 00:14:58.012
  • Has come."
  • 00:14:58.012 --> 00:14:59.380
  • Do you realize that's the end of time?
  • 00:14:59.380 --> 00:15:00.882
  • Do you know that part of god's judgment happens before he even
  • 00:15:00.882 --> 00:15:03.484
  • Gets here?
  • 00:15:03.484 --> 00:15:04.852
  • How do you know that?
  • 00:15:04.852 --> 00:15:06.187
  • Says, "behold, i come; my reward is with me to give to
  • 00:15:06.187 --> 00:15:09.190
  • Every man."
  • 00:15:09.190 --> 00:15:10.525
  • Does god know who's going up and who's not when he comes?
  • 00:15:10.525 --> 00:15:13.127
  • Some judgment happens.
  • 00:15:13.127 --> 00:15:14.562
  • "judgment must begin at the house of god.
  • 00:15:14.562 --> 00:15:16.998
  • If judgment begins at us, what will be the end of them that
  • 00:15:16.998 --> 00:15:19.367
  • Obey not the gospel?"
  • 00:15:19.367 --> 00:15:20.935
  • I'm quoting the bible.
  • 00:15:20.935 --> 00:15:23.171
  • Judgment has come.
  • 00:15:23.171 --> 00:15:24.505
  • Second angel's message: "and worship him who made the heaven
  • 00:15:24.505 --> 00:15:28.509
  • And the earth, and the sea," and that means worship him the right
  • 00:15:28.509 --> 00:15:30.645
  • Way, the right day; true worship of god.
  • 00:15:30.645 --> 00:15:33.848
  • Is there a lot of counterfeit worship today?
  • 00:15:33.848 --> 00:15:36.651
  • There's some people, bless their hearts, they go to church and
  • 00:15:36.651 --> 00:15:38.920
  • These pastors deceive them.
  • 00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:41.322
  • They say, "send me your money and god's going to get you a new
  • 00:15:41.322 --> 00:15:43.891
  • Pickup truck," right?
  • 00:15:43.891 --> 00:15:46.627
  • Just say--they take advantage of people, the counterfeit worship.
  • 00:15:46.627 --> 00:15:52.300
  • Answer the next one, and it says: "another angel followed,
  • 00:15:52.300 --> 00:15:56.738
  • Saying, 'babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because
  • 00:15:56.738 --> 00:16:01.442
  • She has made all nations drink the wine of the wrath of
  • 00:16:01.442 --> 00:16:04.479
  • Her fornication.'"
  • 00:16:04.479 --> 00:16:05.847
  • There'll be a judgment on the people that are in babylon, but
  • 00:16:05.847 --> 00:16:09.384
  • God wants to save babylon.
  • 00:16:09.384 --> 00:16:11.519
  • He's got his people in babylon.
  • 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.088
  • Now, why does it talk about that?
  • 00:16:14.088 --> 00:16:16.524
  • During the time of jeremiah, king nebuchadnezzar, king of
  • 00:16:16.524 --> 00:16:21.929
  • Babylon, conquered jerusalem, brought the jews to babylon, and
  • 00:16:21.929 --> 00:16:26.300
  • They were there for 70 years.
  • 00:16:26.300 --> 00:16:28.036
  • How comfortable would you be for 70 years?
  • 00:16:28.036 --> 00:16:31.372
  • We're only here for three weeks in new york city, and karen and
  • 00:16:31.372 --> 00:16:33.775
  • I have gotten real comfortable in our hotel room.
  • 00:16:33.775 --> 00:16:37.311
  • We just may stay.
  • 00:16:37.311 --> 00:16:39.914
  • But after 70 years, when god said, "you're free now to go
  • 00:16:39.914 --> 00:16:44.018
  • Back," they said, "well, we kind of like it in babylon.
  • 00:16:44.018 --> 00:16:46.087
  • We've learned the language, we've learned the customs, we're
  • 00:16:46.087 --> 00:16:48.322
  • A little babylon-ish ourselves," and he couldn't get his people
  • 00:16:48.322 --> 00:16:51.859
  • Out of babylon.
  • 00:16:51.859 --> 00:16:53.461
  • He said, "but judgment's coming on babylon.
  • 00:16:53.461 --> 00:16:55.463
  • The persians are going to destroy them.
  • 00:16:55.463 --> 00:16:56.998
  • You don't want to be there, go home."
  • 00:16:56.998 --> 00:17:00.601
  • And god is telling his people in babylon, "today they're mixed up
  • 00:17:00.601 --> 00:17:03.805
  • In false religions, false churches.
  • 00:17:03.805 --> 00:17:07.375
  • Babylon is going to fall, the plagues will fall on babylon,
  • 00:17:07.375 --> 00:17:10.545
  • The seven last plagues.
  • 00:17:10.545 --> 00:17:11.913
  • Come out of her, my people."
  • 00:17:11.913 --> 00:17:15.149
  • Jesus has his people in babylon, he's calling them out.
  • 00:17:15.149 --> 00:17:19.754
  • "and a third angel followed them, saying, 'if anyone
  • 00:17:19.754 --> 00:17:22.457
  • Worships the beast in his image, and receives his mark on his
  • 00:17:22.457 --> 00:17:25.993
  • Forehead or on his hand, he will drink the wine of the wrath of
  • 00:17:25.993 --> 00:17:29.630
  • God,'" and that's that same wine--babylon has made people
  • 00:17:29.630 --> 00:17:33.734
  • Drunk with her wine.
  • 00:17:33.734 --> 00:17:35.069
  • Number 9: to whom will god's church preach these messages in
  • 00:17:35.069 --> 00:17:40.374
  • The last days?
  • 00:17:40.374 --> 00:17:42.043
  • Where does it go, the everlasting gospel?
  • 00:17:42.043 --> 00:17:45.279
  • "having the everlasting gospel to preach to," who?
  • 00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:48.583
  • "every nation."
  • 00:17:48.583 --> 00:17:50.785
  • Jesus said the gospel will be preached in all the world, then
  • 00:17:50.785 --> 00:17:53.721
  • The end will come.
  • 00:17:53.721 --> 00:17:55.089
  • Friends, you're living in the generation that will see that
  • 00:17:55.089 --> 00:17:56.958
  • Fulfillment, i believe.
  • 00:17:56.958 --> 00:17:59.160
  • Are you ready for jesus to come?
  • 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.263
  • What specifications has god given in his word to help us
  • 00:18:02.263 --> 00:18:05.566
  • Identify his end-time church?
  • 00:18:05.566 --> 00:18:08.769
  • Well, let's look at what some of the criteria are.
  • 00:18:08.769 --> 00:18:12.607
  • Answer a, let's reevaluate what we just read in our study.
  • 00:18:12.607 --> 00:18:17.245
  • "it's going to appear and do its visible work after it emerges
  • 00:18:17.245 --> 00:18:21.315
  • From the wilderness in 1798."
  • 00:18:21.315 --> 00:18:23.484
  • Now, i just got to stop here and just say something to you.
  • 00:18:23.484 --> 00:18:26.888
  • I believe that god's got a remnant.
  • 00:18:26.888 --> 00:18:29.056
  • You know what a remnant is?
  • 00:18:29.056 --> 00:18:30.958
  • It's the remainder.
  • 00:18:30.958 --> 00:18:33.194
  • How many of you ladies have ever done any sewing?
  • 00:18:33.194 --> 00:18:35.296
  • You go to the store and you buy a remnant.
  • 00:18:35.296 --> 00:18:38.933
  • When i take my wallet out, everyone gets real quiet for
  • 00:18:38.933 --> 00:18:42.603
  • Some reason.
  • 00:18:42.603 --> 00:18:43.938
  • Okay, i've got--what do i got here?
  • 00:18:43.938 --> 00:18:45.273
  • I got a $10 bill, all right.
  • 00:18:45.273 --> 00:18:48.676
  • When they make cloth at the factory on the loom, they get
  • 00:18:48.676 --> 00:18:52.713
  • The bolt--you know, the cardboard tube--and they begin
  • 00:18:52.713 --> 00:18:56.918
  • To roll the cloth onto the cardboard tube, right?
  • 00:18:56.918 --> 00:19:01.556
  • What goes on first?
  • 00:19:01.556 --> 00:19:03.658
  • And they roll it all up, and then they--people come to the
  • 00:19:03.658 --> 00:19:06.460
  • Store and they say, "i'd like to buy some," and they buy little
  • 00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:09.463
  • Pieces and they cut it off, and they buy what they need for
  • 00:19:09.463 --> 00:19:11.933
  • Their pillows and their curtains, they cut off the
  • 00:19:11.933 --> 00:19:13.601
  • Cloth, and finally someone will say, "well, i only need so much,
  • 00:19:13.601 --> 00:19:16.504
  • And i got this little piece left over," and what's it called?
  • 00:19:16.504 --> 00:19:19.507
  • It's a remnant.
  • 00:19:19.507 --> 00:19:20.875
  • It's what's at the end, but you know what's at the end?
  • 00:19:20.875 --> 00:19:22.843
  • It's what went on first.
  • 00:19:22.843 --> 00:19:26.514
  • What comes off at the end is what went on first.
  • 00:19:26.514 --> 00:19:30.351
  • God's church in the last days is going to be following the
  • 00:19:30.351 --> 00:19:32.954
  • Scriptures the way the church did in the beginning.
  • 00:19:32.954 --> 00:19:36.424
  • The bible says, "we are going to return to the faith that was
  • 00:19:36.424 --> 00:19:40.061
  • Once delivered to the saints."
  • 00:19:40.061 --> 00:19:43.197
  • The bible tells us that "there'll be a remnant."
  • 00:19:43.197 --> 00:19:46.467
  • God saved a remnant in the days of noah, right?
  • 00:19:46.467 --> 00:19:50.938
  • He saved a remnant called abraham from babel.
  • 00:19:50.938 --> 00:19:54.408
  • Ur of the chaldees, he saved a remnant out of babylon.
  • 00:19:54.408 --> 00:20:00.114
  • And after the persecution of 1260 years and the church went
  • 00:20:00.114 --> 00:20:05.219
  • Underground, there was a great revival movement that took place
  • 00:20:05.219 --> 00:20:08.756
  • About 150 years ago where christians from all different
  • 00:20:08.756 --> 00:20:12.293
  • Backgrounds said, "let's find out what the bible really says.
  • 00:20:12.293 --> 00:20:15.997
  • Jesus does not want us divided by our denominations.
  • 00:20:15.997 --> 00:20:21.002
  • Let's pray for the spirit and open the word, and kneel and
  • 00:20:21.002 --> 00:20:23.471
  • Spend nights in prayer and get back to the bible."
  • 00:20:23.471 --> 00:20:26.107
  • That was the birth of the movement that's bringing you
  • 00:20:26.107 --> 00:20:28.943
  • This seminar.
  • 00:20:28.943 --> 00:20:31.445
  • Now, you say, "well, what church is that?"
  • 00:20:31.445 --> 00:20:33.314
  • I don't like to call it a denomination, but we're called
  • 00:20:33.314 --> 00:20:35.850
  • Seventh day adventists.
  • 00:20:35.850 --> 00:20:37.418
  • I don't often say it because i don't like to brag about it, but
  • 00:20:37.418 --> 00:20:40.054
  • I'm a seventh day adventist christian.
  • 00:20:40.054 --> 00:20:41.622
  • It's very simple, it means we believe in keeping all the
  • 00:20:41.622 --> 00:20:45.293
  • Commandments, including the 7th, and we believe christ is
  • 00:20:45.293 --> 00:20:47.962
  • Coming back.
  • 00:20:47.962 --> 00:20:49.330
  • It's the blessed hope, and we're telling people, "get ready, get
  • 00:20:49.330 --> 00:20:50.865
  • Ready, get ready."
  • 00:20:50.865 --> 00:20:52.433
  • And we are--do you know, north america, the seventh day
  • 00:20:52.433 --> 00:20:55.870
  • Adventist church is voted as the most diverse church ethnically
  • 00:20:55.870 --> 00:21:00.174
  • In that we have people from all different backgrounds, and it is
  • 00:21:00.174 --> 00:21:04.545
  • The fastest growing protestant church in the world today, and
  • 00:21:04.545 --> 00:21:08.349
  • They have the biggest educational system, second to
  • 00:21:08.349 --> 00:21:11.952
  • The catholic church.
  • 00:21:11.952 --> 00:21:13.587
  • They have the biggest medical system, second to the catholic
  • 00:21:13.587 --> 00:21:16.957
  • Church, and they're spreading everywhere because people are
  • 00:21:16.957 --> 00:21:20.027
  • Saying, "hey, if you're going to be a bible christian, where else
  • 00:21:20.027 --> 00:21:22.496
  • Are you going to go?"
  • 00:21:22.496 --> 00:21:24.231
  • What does your church believe?
  • 00:21:24.231 --> 00:21:26.233
  • "well, my church believes like my pastor."
  • 00:21:26.233 --> 00:21:29.470
  • What does your pastor believe?
  • 00:21:29.470 --> 00:21:31.072
  • "like my church."
  • 00:21:31.072 --> 00:21:33.808
  • What does your pastor and your church believe?
  • 00:21:33.808 --> 00:21:35.609
  • "same thing i believe."
  • 00:21:35.609 --> 00:21:38.379
  • People don't know what they believe, do they?
  • 00:21:38.379 --> 00:21:41.082
  • We got to go by the bible, friends, amen?
  • 00:21:41.082 --> 00:21:45.019
  • This church began during that time period.
  • 00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:48.422
  • It's following the '798 year time period.
  • 00:21:48.422 --> 00:21:53.661
  • It says, answer b, "it'll teach the same truths the apostles
  • 00:21:53.661 --> 00:21:58.165
  • Taught," we mentioned that.
  • 00:21:58.165 --> 00:21:59.800
  • Answer c: "it will keep the ten commandments, including the
  • 00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:03.204
  • Sabbath," amen?
  • 00:22:03.204 --> 00:22:05.606
  • Answer d: "it will have the spirit of prophecy."
  • 00:22:05.606 --> 00:22:07.675
  • It goes by the law and the prophets, and believes in all
  • 00:22:07.675 --> 00:22:09.744
  • The gifts of the spirit, friends, amen?
  • 00:22:09.744 --> 00:22:12.046
  • I believe the power of god is still alive today.
  • 00:22:12.046 --> 00:22:15.082
  • "it'll proclaim god's three-time end-time message with a
  • 00:22:15.082 --> 00:22:18.252
  • Loud voice."
  • 00:22:18.252 --> 00:22:19.587
  • It'll be a global international church.
  • 00:22:19.587 --> 00:22:21.088
  • It's not a local corner fellowship, it is an
  • 00:22:21.088 --> 00:22:23.924
  • International movement.
  • 00:22:23.924 --> 00:22:25.693
  • We meet that criteria.
  • 00:22:25.693 --> 00:22:27.628
  • "it'll teach the everlasting gospel, which is salvation
  • 00:22:27.628 --> 00:22:31.399
  • Through christ alone," which is what we teach and believe.
  • 00:22:31.399 --> 00:22:35.403
  • Now jesus, number 11: he gives us these seven prophetic
  • 00:22:35.403 --> 00:22:38.906
  • Identifying points.
  • 00:22:38.906 --> 00:22:40.241
  • He said, "go find my church."
  • 00:22:40.241 --> 00:22:42.143
  • What is the promise of jesus if we seek?
  • 00:22:42.143 --> 00:22:45.479
  • "seek, and you will find."
  • 00:22:45.479 --> 00:22:47.815
  • Where do we search?
  • 00:22:47.815 --> 00:22:49.583
  • In the word, you run to and fro through the word of god.
  • 00:22:49.583 --> 00:22:53.721
  • How many church organizations in the world will fit these
  • 00:22:53.721 --> 00:22:56.524
  • Seven points?
  • 00:22:56.524 --> 00:22:58.926
  • The bible says, there is "one lord, one faith," how many?
  • 00:22:58.926 --> 00:23:05.332
  • One faith; god wants his people united on truth, "one baptism."
  • 00:23:05.332 --> 00:23:11.872
  • Since there's so many different churches in the world today and
  • 00:23:11.872 --> 00:23:14.809
  • So many different denominations call themselves the truth, does
  • 00:23:14.809 --> 00:23:19.480
  • That make them god's true church?
  • 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.383
  • No, read isaiah chapter 4, verse 1: "and in that day seven
  • 00:23:22.383 --> 00:23:28.989
  • Women," what's a woman represent?
  • 00:23:28.989 --> 00:23:30.324
  • Congregation: the church.
  • 00:23:30.324 --> 00:23:31.692
  • Doug: "will take hold of one man," jesus, the son of man,
  • 00:23:31.692 --> 00:23:34.528
  • "saying, 'we'll eat our own bread," our own word of god.
  • 00:23:34.528 --> 00:23:38.632
  • "we'll wear our own apparel," our own righteousness.
  • 00:23:38.632 --> 00:23:41.969
  • "only let us call ourselves by your name," we're going to call
  • 00:23:41.969 --> 00:23:45.105
  • Ourselves christian, "to take away our reproach."
  • 00:23:45.105 --> 00:23:48.576
  • There are more different churches that call themselves
  • 00:23:48.576 --> 00:23:51.812
  • Christians that don't follow the bible than any other religion.
  • 00:23:51.812 --> 00:23:55.449
  • Christianity is the most divided because it's the genuine and the
  • 00:23:55.449 --> 00:23:58.385
  • Devil is fighting it; but there is a truth, friends, based on
  • 00:23:58.385 --> 00:24:04.124
  • God's word.
  • 00:24:04.124 --> 00:24:05.493
  • Jesus said in the last days, wolves would come in not sparing
  • 00:24:05.493 --> 00:24:08.329
  • The flock.
  • 00:24:08.329 --> 00:24:09.763
  • So once a person discovers god's true end-time church, is it
  • 00:24:09.763 --> 00:24:14.101
  • Necessary to become a member?
  • 00:24:14.101 --> 00:24:16.370
  • "and the lord added to the"--who added to the church?
  • 00:24:16.370 --> 00:24:21.108
  • "the lord added to the church," his body, "daily those who were
  • 00:24:21.108 --> 00:24:26.213
  • Being saved."
  • 00:24:26.213 --> 00:24:27.581
  • Jesus had the 12 apostles, and then later he numbered 70
  • 00:24:27.581 --> 00:24:30.150
  • Disciples, and then they went, and the counts when they joined:
  • 00:24:30.150 --> 00:24:33.020
  • 3000, then 5000.
  • 00:24:33.020 --> 00:24:35.556
  • God has his people.
  • 00:24:35.556 --> 00:24:37.525
  • Number 15: how many ways of escape were there in noah's day?
  • 00:24:37.525 --> 00:24:43.264
  • Jesus said it'll be like it was in the days of noah.
  • 00:24:43.264 --> 00:24:46.200
  • "by faith, noah built a fleet of arks."
  • 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:50.204
  • No: "he prepared an ark," one.
  • 00:24:50.204 --> 00:24:54.775
  • One lord, one faith, "for the saving of his household."
  • 00:24:54.775 --> 00:24:58.412
  • Christ has an ark in the last days, friends.
  • 00:24:58.412 --> 00:25:01.015

  • You know, information is not going to save us.

  • For your sins.
