>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:01:02.66\00:01:05.23
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:01:05.26\00:01:09.40
>>MANY LEGENDS AND STORIES
FROM AROUND THE WORLD TALK ABOUT
00:01:09.43\00:01:12.37
FLYING DRAGONS, AND SOME MAY
EVEN CONTAIN A KERNEL OF TRUTH.
00:01:12.40\00:01:16.87
PALEONTOLOGISTS HAVE DISCOVERED
THE FOSSILIZED BONES OF GIANT
00:01:16.91\00:01:21.04
FLYING REPTILES CALLED
PETROSAURS, OR WINGED LIZARDS.
00:01:21.08\00:01:25.18
THEY'VE GOT LONG, THIN BEAKS,
BONEY CRESTS ON THEIR HEAD - THE
00:01:25.21\00:01:28.78
LARGEST PETROSAURS WEIGHED OVER
500 POUNDS AND HAD A WING SPAN
00:01:28.82\00:01:32.99
OF NEARLY 40 FEET. THAT'S
LIKE A SMALL CESSNA AIRPLANE.
00:01:33.02\00:01:36.89
PETROSAURS HAD NECKS THAT WERE
UP TO TEN FEET LONG AND THEIR
00:01:36.93\00:01:40.10
LEGS UP TO SEVEN FEET LONG.
TO SOMEONE WATCHING FROM THE
00:01:40.13\00:01:43.13
GROUND, THE LEGS TRAILING BEHIND
A FLYING PETROSAUR MIGHT HAVE
00:01:43.16\00:01:47.24
LOOKED LIKE A FLYING
DRAGON WITH A POINTED TAIL.
00:01:47.27\00:01:49.94
SOME PETROSAURS MAY
HAVE EVEN SURVIVED THE FLOOD.
00:01:49.97\00:01:53.27
IN THE FIFTH CENTURY B.C., THE
GREEK HISTORIAN HERODOTUS WROTE
00:01:53.31\00:01:57.08
ABOUT WINGED SERPENTS IN ARABIA.
FRIENDS, WE KNOW OF AT LEAST ONE
00:01:57.11\00:02:02.25
DRAGON THAT EXISTS
TODAY, THE DRAGON IS ALSO
00:02:02.28\00:02:05.35
KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
WHILE SOME PEOPLE THINK HE'S
00:02:05.39\00:02:08.22
JUST A RELIGIOUS LEGEND,
SCRIPTURE INSISTS THAT HE IS
00:02:08.26\00:02:11.29
VERY REAL AND DETERMINED TO
DECEIVE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
00:02:11.33\00:02:15.76
SO JOIN ME, TODAY, AS WE TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS ENEMY, THE
00:02:15.80\00:02:19.43
ONE THE BIBLE REVEALS TO BE THE
NOTORIOUS DRAGON OF REVELATION.
00:02:19.47\00:02:28.71
>>I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER
00:02:28.74\00:02:31.18
THIS NOTORIOUS CHARACTER
FROM MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA.
00:02:31.21\00:02:34.72
I DID A SERIES OF MEETINGS IN
COLOMBIA, AND HE WAS SOMETHING
00:02:34.75\00:02:39.85
OF A HERO THERE - PABLO ESCOBAR.
00:02:39.89\00:02:45.09
HE WAS THE LARGEST
DRUG DEALER IN HISTORY.
00:02:45.13\00:02:50.33
AND, AT ONE TIME - MATTER
OF FACT, I'VE GOT A FEW AMAZING
00:02:50.37\00:02:51.93
FACTS HERE - I DON'T WANT
TO FORGET THEM, SO I'M GOING TO
00:02:51.97\00:02:54.40
READ SOME OF
THESE THINGS TO YOU.
00:02:54.44\00:02:56.10
AT ONE TIME HE WAS BELIEVED TO
BE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
00:02:56.14\00:02:59.71
HE HAD, BACK THEN,
30 BILLION DOLLARS.
00:02:59.74\00:03:01.94
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 50 BILLION
00:03:01.98\00:03:04.31
DOLLARS. IN THE
80S, THE DEMAND WAS SO
00:03:04.35\00:03:07.92
HIGH THAT, AT ONE POINT, PABLO
ESCOBAR AND HIS MEDELLIN CARTEL,
00:03:07.95\00:03:12.79
SELLING MOSTLY COCAINE,
WAS DELIVERING 15 TONS OF
00:03:12.82\00:03:16.22
COCAINE TO THE U.S. EACH DAY.
00:03:16.26\00:03:19.56
THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF TWO
AFRICAN ELEPHANTS - OF COCAINE.
00:03:19.59\00:03:23.50
DURING THIS ZENITH OF THE DRUG
TRADE, HE WAS MAKING 60 MILLION
00:03:23.53\00:03:28.80
DOLLARS A DAY IN
COCAINE - SELLING COCAINE.
00:03:28.84\00:03:34.28
IN FACT, I WAS READING THAT HE
HAD SO MUCH CASH - HE SPENT OVER
00:03:34.31\00:03:38.95
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH ON
RUBBER BANDS TO BUNDLE THE CASH.
00:03:38.98\00:03:45.62
HE HAD SO MUCH CASH HOARDED
AWAY IN TROPICAL BARNS THAT HE
00:03:45.65\00:03:51.49
FIGURED HE LOST 2 MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR TO RATS THAT
00:03:51.53\00:03:55.56
NIBBLED AWAY - AND
MOLD - MOLDING MONEY.
00:03:55.60\00:04:00.40
HE OWNED 5,000 ACRES OF
LAND NEAR A SMALL COLOMBIAN TOWN
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.84
WHERE HE BUILT A LITTLE UTOPIA
- 20-ROOM MANSION - WHERE HE'D
00:04:03.87\00:04:07.01
INVITE - HE'D JUST PAY AND HE'D
HAVE GREAT MUSICIANS AND PEOPLE
00:04:07.04\00:04:09.31
FROM AROUND THE WORLD COMING.
HE HAD HIS OWN BULL RING - HIS
00:04:09.34\00:04:12.08
OWN ZOO WITH HIPPOS, GIRAFFES,
AND ELEPHANTS. IN ALL, IT'S SAID
00:04:12.11\00:04:18.25
THAT HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR
APPROXIMATELY 4,000 DEATHS,
00:04:18.29\00:04:21.92
INCLUDING JUDGES AND A COLOMBIAN
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
00:04:21.96\00:04:26.29
BUT HE WAS NEVER SATISFIED WITH
ALL THAT MONEY AND THAT POWER.
00:04:26.33\00:04:29.86
HE WANTED TO BE
LOVED BY THE PEOPLE.
00:04:29.90\00:04:31.57
HE WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT OF
THE COUNTRY, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE
00:04:31.60\00:04:33.77
THAT. AND HE
STARTED GIVING MONEY TO
00:04:33.80\00:04:37.04
ALL THESE POOR VILLAGES AND
FOR SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC WORKS.
00:04:37.07\00:04:40.88
HE COULDN'T SPEND
HIS MONEY FAST ENOUGH.
00:04:40.91\00:04:42.58
AND THEY ALL LOVED HIM.
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A HERO - NOT
00:04:42.61\00:04:44.65
ALL - MANY PEOPLE LOVED
HIM. HE RAN FOR CONGRESS AND
00:04:44.68\00:04:47.22
GOT ELECTED, BUT
HE WASN'T SATISFIED.
00:04:47.25\00:04:50.72
HE WANTED MORE POWER AND HE
WANTED MORE AND HE WANTED MORE
00:04:50.75\00:04:53.39
AND WHEN SOME OF THE OTHER
PEOPLE IN POLITICS STARTED TO
00:04:53.42\00:04:55.99
INVESTIGATE HIM MORE
CAREFULLY, HE HAD THEM KILLED.
00:04:56.02\00:05:02.70
AND HE HAD A SAYING, 'MONEY -
SILVER - OR DO YOU WANT BULLETS
00:05:02.73\00:05:07.57
- LEAD?' AND HE GAVE
EVERYBODY THE CHOICE.
00:05:07.60\00:05:10.87
HE SAYS, 'I'LL EITHER PAY
YOU AND YOU CAN COOPERATE AND GO
00:05:10.91\00:05:13.04
ALONG WITH ME, OR YOU'RE
DEAD.' AND WHEN JUDGES BEGAN TO
00:05:13.07\00:05:16.98
INVESTIGATE HIM OR PEOPLE WERE
GOING TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM,
00:05:17.01\00:05:20.22
SUDDENLY THEY ENDED UP DYING.
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WAS RUNNING
00:05:20.25\00:05:23.52
AGAINST HIM, THEY
WERE ASSASSINATED.
00:05:23.55\00:05:26.69
AND - 4,000 MURDERS -
WASN'T HAPPY - MORE, MORE, MORE.
00:05:26.72\00:05:32.53
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT REMINDS US
OF THE CHARACTER THAT PROBABLY
00:05:32.56\00:05:34.50
INSPIRED PEOPLE LIKE ESCOBAR
- SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS LIKE
00:05:34.56\00:05:39.30
HITLER AND STALIN THAT JUST ARE
- HAVE AN INSATIABLE DESIRE TO
00:05:39.33\00:05:43.97
BE THE GREATEST, TO HAVE
MORE POWER, TO HAVE MORE MONEY.
00:05:44.01\00:05:48.08
AND IT REMINDS US ABOUT THE
ORIGIN OF THAT ARCH FIEND THAT
00:05:48.11\00:05:53.98
WE READ ABOUT IN THE BIBLE.
DEALING WITH THE VILLAIN OF
00:05:54.02\00:05:57.45
REVELATION - IN FACT, HE'S
THE VILLAIN OF THE WHOLE BIBLE -
00:05:57.49\00:06:01.42
BETTER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
FIRST QUESTION WE'RE GOING TO
00:06:01.46\00:06:05.39
ASK TONIGHT IS, 'WITH
WHOM DID SIN ORIGINATE?
00:06:05.43\00:06:08.96
YOU KNOW, JESUS CAME
TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.
00:06:09.00\00:06:10.90
WHY IS THERE SIN IN THE
WORLD? IF GOD MADE EVERYTHING
00:06:10.93\00:06:13.40
GOOD, WHY DO WE SIN?
WHERE DID SIN COME FROM?
00:06:13.44\00:06:16.94
PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY,
'WHO HAD THE FIRST COLD?'
00:06:16.97\00:06:20.21
'WHO HAD THE
FIRST CASE OF AIDS?'
00:06:20.24\00:06:23.18
WHERE DO THESE THINGS
COME FROM? IT'S LIKE A MYSTERY.
00:06:23.21\00:06:25.38
WELL, THE BIBLE
GIVES US THESE ANSWERS.
00:06:25.41\00:06:28.22
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 12,
VERSE 9 - IT REFERS TO HIM AS
00:06:28.25\00:06:31.69
"THAT OLD SERPENT,
CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN."
00:06:31.72\00:06:35.52
AND SO, HERE HE IS CALLED
'THE SERPENT', HE'S CALLED 'THE
00:06:35.56\00:06:38.26
DEVIL,' HE CALLED 'SATAN,' AND
HE'S ALSO CALLED 'THE DRAGON.'
00:06:38.29\00:06:41.96
AND SO, SATAN ORIGINATED,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, NOT HERE ON
00:06:42.00\00:06:46.00
EARTH, BUT UP IN HEAVEN.
THE BIBLE SAYS 'THE DEVIL
00:06:46.03\00:06:50.01
SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING.'
SIN ORIGINATED WITH SATAN.
00:06:50.04\00:06:55.18
SATAN IS THAT ARCH
FIEND. HE IS VERY REAL.
00:06:55.21\00:06:58.35
I BELIEVE THAT NOT ONLY
DOES GOD SEND GOOD ANGELS TO OUR
00:06:58.38\00:07:02.72
MEETINGS, I BELIEVE THE DEVIL
TRIES TO SEND REPRESENTATIVES TO
00:07:02.75\00:07:05.59
DISTRACT AND KEEP
PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE WORD.
00:07:05.62\00:07:08.39
THERE ARE
BATTLES THAT ARE RAGING.
00:07:08.42\00:07:10.36
PAUL TALKS ABOUT US NOT
WRESTLING AGAINST FLESH AND
00:07:10.39\00:07:12.99
BLOOD, BUT AGAINST
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS,
00:07:13.03\00:07:15.40
SPIRITUAL FORCES OF
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
00:07:15.43\00:07:18.53
THERE IS A GOD.
THERE ARE GOOD ANGELS.
00:07:18.57\00:07:21.87
AND THERE IS A DEVIL - THERE
IS AN EVIL POWER IN THE WORLD.
00:07:21.90\00:07:25.17
I THINK, AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENED IN HISTORY, YOU'D HAVE
00:07:25.21\00:07:29.34
TO SAY THAT THERE IS EVIL.
00:07:29.38\00:07:31.48
YOU LOOK AT WHAT SOME TERRORISTS
DO OR THEY PUT A PERSON IN A
00:07:31.51\00:07:33.78
CAGE AND DOUSE THEM WITH
GASOLINE AND VIDEOTAPE AS THEY
00:07:33.82\00:07:37.32
SET THEM ON FIRE -
THAT IS JUST INCARNATE EVIL.
00:07:37.35\00:07:41.82
ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE
TURN TO GOD IS, THEY SAY, 'YOU
00:07:41.86\00:07:43.79
KNOW, I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT
GOD, BUT WHEN I BECAME CONVINCED
00:07:43.83\00:07:46.46
THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTE EVIL,
THEN I THOUGHT, 'THERE MUST BE
00:07:46.49\00:07:50.03
GOOD. THERE
MUST BE GOD.' >>AMEN.
00:07:50.07\00:07:52.70
>>AND WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE
EVIDENCE FOR EVIL IN THE WORLD.
00:07:52.73\00:07:55.67
SO WHAT WAS SATAN'S
NAME BEFORE HE SINNED?
00:07:55.70\00:07:58.84
AND WHERE WAS HE
LIVING AT THAT TIME?
00:07:58.87\00:08:01.48
TWO OF THE PRINCIPLE PASSAGES IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT TELL US
00:08:01.51\00:08:04.95
ABOUT THE DEVIL - YOU CAN FIND A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM, OF COURSE,
00:08:04.98\00:08:07.45
IN GENESIS, BUT
HE'S NOT CALLED BY NAME.
00:08:07.48\00:08:10.22
YOU GO TO ISAIAH 14 AND ISAIAH
BEGINS WITH A PROPHECY ABOUT THE
00:08:10.25\00:08:15.09
KING OF BABYLON AND THEN
HE TRANSITIONS INTO THE POWER
00:08:15.12\00:08:18.39
BEHIND THAT WICKED KING.
"HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,
00:08:18.43\00:08:23.77
O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING!"
- THE WORD 'LUCIFER' - IT MEANS
00:08:23.80\00:08:26.30
'LIGHT BEARER' - IT'S REALLY A
LATIN WORD. IN HEBREW IT'S MORE
00:08:26.33\00:08:28.90
LIKE 'HELIEL' - IT MEANS 'THE
MORNING STAR' - "HOW YOU ARE CUT
00:08:28.94\00:08:32.47
DOWN TO THE GROUND, YOU
WHO WEAKENED THE NATIONS!
00:08:32.51\00:08:35.14
FOR YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART, 'I
WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL
00:08:35.18\00:08:38.85
EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS
OF GOD; I WILL ALSO SIT ON THE
00:08:38.88\00:08:42.78
MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION ON
THE FARTHEST SIDES OF THE NORTH.
00:08:42.82\00:08:45.69
I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS
OF THE CLOUDS, I WILL BE LIKE
00:08:45.72\00:08:49.22
THE MOST HIGH.' YOU CAN
TELL THAT HE HAD 'I' PROBLEMS.
00:08:49.26\00:08:53.60
(LAUGHTER) I, I, I - YOU KNOW,
I'VE HEARD THAT PEOPLE IN MENTAL
00:08:53.63\00:08:58.50
INSTITUTIONS USE THE WORDS 'I,'
'ME,' 'MY,' 'MINE,' AND 'MYSELF'
00:08:58.53\00:09:03.17
FIVE TIMES MORE THAN PEOPLE
THAT ARE REGARDED AS SANE.
00:09:03.20\00:09:07.41
SELFISHNESS WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY.
00:09:07.44\00:09:11.35
AND THE VERY IDEA THAT THE
CREATURE COULD REBEL AGAINST THE
00:09:11.38\00:09:14.85
CREATOR, TO YOU AND I IT SOUNDS
INSANE BUT, SOMEHOW, HE THOUGHT
00:09:14.88\00:09:18.25
HE COULD HAVE ENOUGH
POWER TO OVERTHROW GOD.
00:09:18.29\00:09:21.36
AND, DON'T FORGET, LUCIFER WAS
VERY POWERFUL - "YOU WERE THE
00:09:21.39\00:09:25.43
SEAL OF PERFECTION, FULL OF
WISDOM AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.
00:09:25.46\00:09:29.33
YOU WERE IN EDEN, THE GARDEN
OF GOD; EVERY PRECIOUS STONE WAS
00:09:29.36\00:09:33.87
YOUR COVERING: THE SARDIUS,
TOPAZ, AND DIAMOND, BERYL, ONYX,
00:09:33.90\00:09:37.81
AND JASPER," - HE WAS
BEAUTIFULLY ADORNED - THE
00:09:37.84\00:09:39.87
HIGHEST OF GOD'S ANGELS -
"THE SAPPHIRE, TURQUOISE, AND
00:09:39.91\00:09:43.28
EMERALD WITH GOLD. THE
WORKMANSHIP OF YOUR TIMBRELS
00:09:43.31\00:09:46.15
AND PIPES" - THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL
INSTRUMENTS - HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL
00:09:46.18\00:09:48.85
VOICE -
INCREDIBLE MUSICAL TALENT.
00:09:48.88\00:09:52.29
AND THE DEVIL DOES USE MUSIC -
"WAS PREPARED FOR YOU ON THE DAY
00:09:52.32\00:09:55.79
YOU WERE CREATED" -
NOT BORN. PEOPLE ARE BORN.
00:09:55.82\00:09:58.69
ADAM WAS CREATED. ANGELS
ARE CREATED, THEY'RE NOT BORN.
00:09:58.73\00:10:01.30
SO IT'S TALKING ABOUT A CREATED
BEING THAT WAS IN THE GARDEN OF
00:10:01.33\00:10:04.90
GOD - "YOU ARE THE ANOINTED
CHERUB" - NOW, IS THERE ANY
00:10:04.93\00:10:08.57
DOUBT WHO HE'S TALKING
ABOUT? HE WAS A CHERUB.
00:10:08.60\00:10:11.34
HE WAS A SPECIAL, CHOSEN CHERUB
- "THE ONE ABOVE ALL OTHERS, AN
00:10:11.37\00:10:14.91
ANGEL WHO COVERS;
I ESTABLISHED YOU SO.
00:10:14.94\00:10:18.88
YOU WERE ON THE
HOLY MOUNTAIN OF GOD.
00:10:18.91\00:10:20.48
YOU WALKED BACK AND FORTH
IN THE MIDST OF FIERY STONES.
00:10:20.52\00:10:23.85
YOU WERE PERFECT IN YOUR WAYS
FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED
00:10:23.89\00:10:28.42
TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN
YOU." SO, DID GOD MAKE A DEVIL?
00:10:28.46\00:10:36.97
EVERY GOOD AND
PERFECT GIFT IS FROM GOD.
00:10:37.00\00:10:39.50
DID GOD MAKE A DEVIL? >>NO.
00:10:39.53\00:10:41.10
>>OR DID GOD MAKE A BEAUTIFUL
ANGEL WHO DECIDED TO BE A DEVIL?
00:10:41.14\00:10:43.37
>>CORRECT. >>HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE KNOWN
00:10:43.41\00:10:45.27
FAMILIES - WONDERFUL FAMILY -
GOOD MOTHER, GOOD FATHER - HAVE
00:10:45.31\00:10:49.88
SEVERAL CHILDREN AND ONE
OF THEM JUST TURNS INTO A WILD
00:10:49.91\00:10:53.28
CHILD AND CAN BE EVIL?
AND YOU THINK - SAME FAMILY -
00:10:53.31\00:10:57.79
GOOD BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
BUT THIS ONE MADE CHOICES.
00:10:57.82\00:11:02.92
AND GOD IS A
GOOD FATHER. >>AMEN.
00:11:02.96\00:11:05.13
>>AND YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING,
'WELL, MAYBE THE LORD MADE A
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.00
MISTAKE, HUH?' NUMBER
3, WHAT WAS THE ORIGIN
00:11:07.03\00:11:11.23
OF LUCIFER AND WHAT WAS
HIS POSITION? WE'RE GOING TO
00:11:11.27\00:11:14.20
ELABORATE A LITTLE
MORE ON WHAT I TOUCHED ON.
00:11:14.24\00:11:16.27
IT SAYS "YOU WERE PERFECT IN
YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:11:16.30\00:11:18.97
CREATED, TILL
INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU."
00:11:19.01\00:11:22.08
THE ANGELS ARE THE
HIGHEST ORDER OF GOD.
00:11:22.11\00:11:24.61
THEY ARE THE
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD.
00:11:24.65\00:11:26.28
THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS, 'MAN
IS MADE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS.'
00:11:26.31\00:11:29.75
LUCIFER WAS THE HIGHEST OF
THE ANGELS AND, IF THESE ARE THE
00:11:29.78\00:11:33.12
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD, THAT
MEANS LUCIFER MAY HAVE BEEN ONE
00:11:33.15\00:11:36.09
OF THE EARLIEST CREATIONS OF
GOD - THE LEADER OF THE ANGELS -
00:11:36.12\00:11:41.13
INCREDIBLY
BEAUTIFUL - BIG, POWERFUL.
00:11:41.16\00:11:44.37
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF THE DEVIL.
00:11:44.40\00:11:47.20
AT ONE POINT, GOD RELEASED HIS
PROTECTION FROM JOB AND HE TOLD
00:11:47.24\00:11:51.44
THE DEVIL, 'ALRIGHT, I'M GOING
TO LET YOU AFFLICT HIM.' THE
00:11:51.47\00:11:54.71
BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL
BROUGHT FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:11:54.74\00:11:57.78
THE DEVIL SENT A HURR - SENT
A TORNADO TO KILL HIS CHILDREN
00:11:57.81\00:12:01.65
WHEN A HOUSE COLLAPSED.
ALL THESE CALAMITIES CAME.
00:12:01.68\00:12:04.02
SATAN HAD INCREDIBLE
POWER OVER THESE FORCES.
00:12:04.05\00:12:07.39
I DON'T WANT TO GLORIFY THE
POWER OF THE DEVIL, BUT YOU NEED
00:12:07.42\00:12:09.49
TO ALSO UNDERSTAND YOUR ENEMY,
AND SO JUST TO BE AWARE OF THESE
00:12:09.52\00:12:13.56
THINGS. YOU WERE PERFECT IN
YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:12:13.60\00:12:16.87
CREATED UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND
IN YOU. YOU WERE THE ANOINTED
00:12:16.90\00:12:21.64
CHERUB WHO COVERS" -
THE COVERING CHERUB -
00:12:21.67\00:12:24.84
"I ESTABLISHED YOU."
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER THE STORY
00:12:24.87\00:12:28.68
ABOUT THE ARK OF THE COVENANT,
AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS
00:12:28.71\00:12:31.91
A SYMBOL FOR THE THRONE OF
GOD. AND, THERE ON THE ARK,
00:12:31.95\00:12:36.12
THERE WERE TWO
CREATURES. WHAT WERE THEY?
00:12:36.15\00:12:38.02
>>CHERUBS. >>ANGELS - CHERUBS -
00:12:38.05\00:12:41.42
WELL, TWO OF THEM. THERE
WERE CALLED COVERING CHERUBS.
00:12:41.46\00:12:45.53
IF YOU READ IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 6,
IT TALKS ABOUT THE THRONE OF GOD
00:12:45.56\00:12:50.13
AND, BY THE THRONE OF GOD, ARE
THESE TWO SERAPHIM - THESE TWO
00:12:50.17\00:12:52.97
ANGELS - AND THEY CRY 'HOLY,
HOLY, HOLY' AND THEY'VE GOT SIX
00:12:53.00\00:12:55.57
WINGS AND WITH TWO WINGS THEY
COVER THEIR FACE AND TWO THEY
00:12:55.60\00:12:58.57
COVER THEIR FEET, AND TWO THEY
- THEY FLY AND THEY'RE THE RIGHT
00:12:58.61\00:13:02.34
AND LEFT-HAND POSITION OF
GOD ALMIGHTY - THE MOST HIGHLY
00:13:02.38\00:13:06.01
REGARDED POSITION
ARE THESE TWO ANGELS.
00:13:06.05\00:13:08.22
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER
NOTICED, WHEN THE POPE SITS ON
00:13:08.25\00:13:12.65
HIS THRONE - HE HAS A THRONE
THERE IN ST. PETER'S AND, EVERY
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.76
NOW AND THEN, HE'LL SIT ON
HIS THRONE - THAT THERE ARE TWO
00:13:14.79\00:13:17.03
ANGELS ON THE
RIGHT AND THE LEFT.
00:13:17.06\00:13:18.63
HAVE ANY OF YOU
EVER SEEN THAT BEFORE?
00:13:18.66\00:13:20.03
THAT HARKENS FROM THAT CHAPTER
THERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT
00:13:20.06\00:13:24.67
TALKS ABOUT ISAIAH.
LUCIFER HAD THE HIGHEST POSITION
00:13:24.70\00:13:28.37
RIGHT AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF GOD AND HE FELL.
00:13:28.40\00:13:32.91
(MUSIC) >>DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, WE'RE COMING BACK IN

00:13:35.28\00:13:38.05
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED BEFORE,
'IF GOD IS LOVING, IF GOD IS
00:13:38.08\00:13:41.72
GOOD, WHY WOULD
HE MAKE A DEVIL?'

LET'S GET BACK, NOW, TO TODAY'S
00:14:17.82\00:14:20.89
PRESENTATION AND LEARN
SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM
00:14:20.92\00:14:23.49
THE WORD OF GOD. >>NOW
WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE
00:14:23.53\00:14:28.03
WAS A GOOD AND A
COOPERATIVE AND A LOVING ANGEL.
00:14:28.06\00:14:30.73
AND, IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN HIM
BACK THEN, YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED
00:14:30.77\00:14:32.30
HIM BECAUSE
EVERYTHING GOD MAKES IS GOOD.
00:14:32.33\00:14:35.47
THE BIBLE SAYS 'EVERY GOOD GIFT'
- IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD'S
00:14:35.50\00:14:38.57
INTENTIONS ARE, LOOK
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:14:38.61\00:14:41.24
WHEN GOD MADE THIS WORLD - EVERY
DAY, WHEN HE CREATES SOMETHING,
00:14:41.28\00:14:43.75
WHAT DOES HE
DECLARE? >>IT'S GOOD.
00:14:43.78\00:14:45.68
>>IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.
IT WAS GOOD. IT WAS GOOD.
00:14:45.71\00:14:48.15
IT WAS GOOD, GOOD, VERY
GOOD. IT WAS A PARADISE.
00:14:48.18\00:14:51.39
AND, DO YOU THINK HE
HAD LESS GOING ON IN HEAVEN?
00:14:51.42\00:14:53.89
EVERYTHING GOD MADE WAS
GOOD. THERE WAS PERFECT HARMONY.
00:14:53.92\00:14:56.89
HOW LONG DID THAT
LAST? I DON'T KNOW.
00:14:56.93\00:14:59.26
LUCIFER MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON
THE RIGHT TRACK FOR MILLIONS OF
00:14:59.29\00:15:02.90
YEARS - NO WAY OF
KNOWING RIGHT NOW.
00:15:02.93\00:15:04.97
BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED.
HE BECAME DISSATISFIED.
00:15:05.00\00:15:08.74
HE BEGAN TO BE JEALOUS OF
THE HONOR AND THE WORSHIP AND
00:15:08.77\00:15:12.97
ADORATION THAT JESUS RECEIVED
FROM THE OTHER CREATURES -
00:15:13.01\00:15:16.75
CHRIST, BEFORE HIS INCARNATION
- AND HE WANTED THAT POSITION.
00:15:16.78\00:15:21.42
AND HE BEGAN TO RESENT
THAT GOD WAS WORSHIPED.
00:15:21.45\00:15:25.12
HE STARTED TO RESENT
THAT GOD HAD RULES AND LAWS.
00:15:25.15\00:15:28.06
HE STARTED THINKING, 'WE
SHOULDN'T - WE'RE INTELLIGENT
00:15:28.09\00:15:30.16
ANGELS, WE DON'T NEED
GOD TELLING US WHAT TO DO.
00:15:30.19\00:15:32.36
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.
00:15:32.39\00:15:34.76
WHY CAN'T I HAVE
THE POWER TO CREATE?'
00:15:34.83\00:15:36.93
HE MAY HAVE RESENTED WHEN GOD
WAS MAKING THE WORLD BECAUSE,
00:15:36.97\00:15:39.77
YOU KNOW, HUMANS CAN
PROCREATE IN THEIR OWN IMAGE.
00:15:39.80\00:15:43.17
WE'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
GOD CREATES IN HIS OWN IMAGE; WE
00:15:43.20\00:15:46.01
CREATE, THROUGH AN ACT
OF LOVE, IN OUR OWN IMAGE.
00:15:46.04\00:15:48.71
ANGELS CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID ANGELS
00:15:48.74\00:15:50.88
DON'T MARRY AND THEY CAN'T
PROCREATE. AND SO, HE BEGAN TO
00:15:50.91\00:15:55.98
RESENT THAT HE DIDN'T
HAVE ALL THE POWER OF GOD.
00:15:56.02\00:15:59.45
AND HE STARTED TO WANT
THE POSITION OF CHRIST.
00:15:59.49\00:16:02.42
AND HE BEGAN TO START
A CAMPAIGN TO TAKE THAT.
00:16:02.46\00:16:05.99
NOW, WHILE - I WANT
YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.
00:16:06.03\00:16:10.70
JUST FOR A MOMENT I WANT YOU TO
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST PICTURE
00:16:10.73\00:16:14.64
- WHAT WOULD
THE DEVIL LOOK LIKE?
00:16:14.67\00:16:16.40
NOW, DON'T THINK
TOO LONG ABOUT THAT.
00:16:16.44\00:16:17.41
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DID YOU SEE?
00:16:17.44\00:16:22.18
HOW MANY OF YOU SAW A
CHARACTER WITH A GOATEE?
00:16:22.21\00:16:25.78
ANY OF YOU PICTURE A CHARACTER
THAT HAD RED? RED LEOTARDS?
00:16:25.81\00:16:31.59
ANYONE, WHEN - HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE SEEN IMAGES OF THE DEVIL?
00:16:31.62\00:16:34.06
HORNS? PITCHFORK? BAT WINGS?
00:16:34.09\00:16:39.13
HE'S NOT BATMAN
BUT HE'S GOT BAT WINGS.
00:16:39.16\00:16:43.10
DO THESE IMAGES
COME FROM THE BIBLE?
00:16:43.13\00:16:46.97
NOW THE DEVIL'S HAPPY - YOU
KNOW, YOU BUY A CAN OF RED DEVIL
00:16:47.00\00:16:50.21
PAINT OR YOU GET DEVIL'S FOOD
CAKE AND IT'S ALWAYS GOT THE
00:16:50.24\00:16:52.64
TYPICAL, TRADITIONAL CARTOON
CHARACTER OF WHAT THE DEVIL
00:16:52.67\00:16:55.68
LOOKS LIKE, BUT SATAN
ISN'T A JOKE, HE'S VERY REAL.
00:16:55.71\00:16:59.48
HE'S DELIGHTED TO HAVE PEOPLE
THINK THAT HE LOOKS LIKE THIS
00:16:59.51\00:17:02.28
MYTHICAL, COMICAL
CHARACTER. IN REALITY, DOES
00:17:02.32\00:17:06.39
SATAN LOOK LIKE THAT? OR DOES
THE BIBLE SAY SATAN, HIMSELF,
00:17:06.42\00:17:08.86
CAN BE TRANSFORMED FROM AN
ANGEL OF LIGHT? HE'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:17:08.89\00:17:13.33
>>INTO. >>YEAH,
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT -
00:17:13.36\00:17:16.10
THAT'S 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER
11. WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:17:16.13\00:17:19.43
SO WHAT LED HIM TO SIN?
YOU READ, AGAIN, IN EZEKIEL
00:17:19.47\00:17:23.87
28:17, "YOUR HEART WAS LIFTED
UP BECAUSE OF YOUR BEAUTY.
00:17:23.91\00:17:28.88
YOU CORRUPTED YOUR WISDOM
FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SPLENDOR.
00:17:28.91\00:17:32.21
FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR
HEART, 'I WILL ASCEND INTO
00:17:32.25\00:17:34.75
HEAVEN...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'" HIS POWER - YOU EVER
00:17:34.78\00:17:38.42
HEAR THE
EXPRESSION 'POWER CORRUPTS.
00:17:38.45\00:17:40.42
ABSOLUTE POWER
CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY'?
00:17:40.46\00:17:43.02
AND NOT ONLY DOES POWER CORRUPT,
BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE, IF THEY'RE
00:17:43.06\00:17:46.29
BLESSED WITH MONEY,
THEY CAN BE CORRUPTED BY IT.
00:17:46.33\00:17:49.76
SOME PEOPLE ARE
BLESSED WITH POPULARITY.
00:17:49.80\00:17:51.87
SOME PEOPLE ARE BLESSED WITH
HANDSOME OR BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE
00:17:51.90\00:17:56.87
AND THEY CAN BECOME PREOCCUPIED.
THE DEVIL, BECAUSE HE RECEIVED
00:17:56.91\00:18:01.11
SO MUCH PRAISE AND SO MUCH
ADORATION FROM THE OTHER ANGELS,
00:18:01.14\00:18:05.25
HE BEGAN TO WANT IT
ALL. HE STARTED TO RESENT
00:18:05.28\00:18:08.62
THAT JESUS WAS ABOVE HIM.
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
00:18:08.65\00:18:12.49
A KID WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU
TAKE THEM TO BASKIN ROBBINS 31
00:18:12.52\00:18:16.19
FLAVORS AND YOU GET THEM
A DOUBLE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM.
00:18:16.22\00:18:18.79
THEY'RE HAPPY UNTIL YOU GIVE
THEIR BROTHER OR SISTER A TRIPLE
00:18:18.83\00:18:21.96
SCOOP. (LAUGHTER) ISN'T THAT
RIGHT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?
00:18:22.00\00:18:28.44
THERE'S SOMETHING - THIS
JEALOUSY - THIS RESENTMENT - AND
00:18:28.47\00:18:31.24
HE BEGAN TO COVET
THE POSITION OF GOD.
00:18:31.27\00:18:33.71
"FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN
YOUR HEART: 'I WILL ASCEND INTO
00:18:33.74\00:18:36.28
HEAVEN...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'" - 'I WANT TO BE GOD.'
00:18:36.31\00:18:41.05
AND SO, HE BEGAN A CAMPAIGN.
HE REALIZED HE HAD TO WORK
00:18:41.08\00:18:44.75
SUBTLY AND HE BEGAN TO CIRCULATE
AMONG THE OTHER UNFALLEN
00:18:44.79\00:18:47.39
ANGELS IN HEAVEN.
WELL, NONE OF THEM WERE
00:18:47.42\00:18:49.02
FALLEN AT THAT POINT.
AND HE BEGAN TO CREATE
00:18:49.06\00:18:51.89
INNUENDO AND DOUBTS ABOUT
GOD. AND, YOU KNOW, 'WE DON'T
00:18:51.93\00:18:55.56
NEED GOD TELLING US. WE
SHOULD ALL BE OUR OWN GODS.
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.40
AND HE SHOULD GIVE US
THE ABILITY TO CREATE.
00:18:58.43\00:19:00.24
AND WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO GOD, WHY
DOESN'T HE GIVE US MORE GLORY?
00:19:00.27\00:19:03.57
AND WHY DON'T WE GET WORSHIPPED
BY THE OTHER UNFALLEN WORLDS?'
00:19:03.61\00:19:06.54
AND LUCIFER BEGAN TO JUST SOW
SEEDS OF QUESTIONS AND DOUBT.
00:19:06.57\00:19:10.58
AND HE IS THE MASTER
AT IT. HE WAS BRILLIANT.
00:19:10.61\00:19:15.68
HE HAD SUPERNATURAL INTELLIGENCE
THAT YOU AND I CANNOT EVEN
00:19:15.72\00:19:18.72
COMPREHEND AND HE BEGAN TO BEND
ALL OF HIS ENERGIES TO SEE IF HE
00:19:18.75\00:19:22.82
COULD - HE THOUGHT, 'IF I COULD
GET ALL OF THE POWER OF THESE
00:19:22.86\00:19:25.33
BILLIONS OF ANGELS ON MY SIDE,
WE COULD EVEN OVERTHROW GOD.'
00:19:25.36\00:19:31.20
I KNOW, IT SOUNDS CRAZY TO
US, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE DID.
00:19:31.23\00:19:34.24
HE BEGAN A REBELLION IN HEAVEN
AND ONE-THIRD OF THE ANGELS
00:19:34.27\00:19:38.27
STARTED LISTENING TO HIM.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN READ THERE IN
00:19:38.31\00:19:41.28
PROVERBS CHAPTER 6, VERSES 16
THROUGH 19, IT SAYS, "THESE SIX
00:19:41.31\00:19:46.45
THINGS THE LORD HATES, YES,
SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION TO HIM;
00:19:46.48\00:19:51.25
A PROUD LOOK," - FIRST -
"A LYING TONGUE,' - THE DEVIL
00:19:51.29\00:19:54.42
STARTED WITH PRIDE - "A LYING
TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT
00:19:54.46\00:19:58.86
BLOOD, A HEART THAT DEVISES
WICKED PLANS, FEET THAT ARE
00:19:58.89\00:20:02.96
SWIFT IN RUNNING TO EVIL, A
FALSE WITNESS WHO SPEAKS LIES,
00:20:03.00\00:20:07.10
AND ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG
BRETHREN." NOTICE THE PART THAT
00:20:07.14\00:20:12.11
HE MENTIONS WITH - THE SEVENTH
- 'ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG
00:20:12.14\00:20:16.18
BRETHREN.' WHAT DID LUCIFER DO?
HE STARTED WITH PRIDE AND ENDED
00:20:16.21\00:20:19.61
UP SOWING DISCORD IN HEAVEN.
IT FINALLY TURNED INTO AN OPEN
00:20:19.65\00:20:23.39
REBELLION AND THEY
WERE FINALLY CAST OUT.
00:20:23.42\00:20:26.25
NOW, BEFORE I GET TO THAT PART,
SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING,
00:20:26.29\00:20:29.99
'PASTOR DOUG,' - ALRIGHT, LET'S
ASK THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION:
00:20:30.03\00:20:36.06
'IF GOD'S IN CHARGE - IF GOD IS
ALL-POWERFUL, WHY WOULD HE PUT
00:20:36.10\00:20:40.54
UP WITH THAT? IF
SOMETHING - IF LUCIFER
00:20:40.57\00:20:43.54
STARTED TO MISBEHAVE LIKE
THAT THEN, OBVIOUSLY, GOD DID
00:20:43.57\00:20:46.88
SOMETHING WRONG IN
THE PROGRAMMING - THERE
00:20:46.91\00:20:49.58
WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM.
GOD GOT THE WIRING WRONG.
00:20:49.61\00:20:53.95
THERE WAS A DEFECT
SOMEWHERE IN LUCIFER.
00:20:53.98\00:20:57.02
IF THERE WAS NO DEFECT HE
NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THAT.
00:20:57.05\00:20:59.65
WHY WOULD GOD MAKE AN ANGEL
THAT EVEN COULD BECOME A DEVIL?
00:20:59.69\00:21:02.79
WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TAKE A
DIFFERENT PATTERN OFF THE WALL
00:21:02.82\00:21:05.16
AND SAY, 'I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE
THAT WILL NEVER BECOME A DEVIL'
00:21:05.19\00:21:07.10
- AND YOU AND I WOULDN'T HAVE
ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IN
00:21:07.13\00:21:09.10
THE WORLD TODAY OR IN OUR LIVES.
LORD, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?'
00:21:09.13\00:21:13.74
DID GOD MAKE A MISTAKE? >>NO.
00:21:13.77\00:21:19.41
>>COULD GOD HAVE MADE
LUCIFER WHERE HE NEVER REBELLED?
00:21:19.44\00:21:22.54
YES. WHY DIDN'T HE?
BECAUSE GOD GIVES ALL OF
00:21:22.58\00:21:28.42
HIS CREATURES FREEDOM.
THE GREATEST PROOF THAT GOD IS
00:21:28.45\00:21:30.42
A GOD OF LOVE IS THE FACT
THAT SOME OF THE CREATURES
00:21:30.45\00:21:34.09
CHOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PARENTS?
00:21:34.12\00:21:40.80
DID YOU KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU HAD
CHILDREN THERE WAS A RISK THAT
00:21:40.83\00:21:43.50
YOUR CHILDREN MIGHT
NOT ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU?
00:21:43.53\00:21:46.17
>>YES. >>AND YOU
STILL HAD THEM, RIGHT?
00:21:46.20\00:21:51.37
LET ME SEE IF - HOW
MANY OF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED?
00:21:51.41\00:21:55.41
DID ANY OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN
BECAUSE YOU WANTED LOVE?
00:21:55.44\00:21:59.01
YOU GOT A SURPRISE, DIDN'T YOU?
00:21:59.05\00:22:00.58
SOME OF YOU HAD CHILDREN
BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO LOVE.
00:22:00.62\00:22:03.25
YOU KNOW, I JUST - I ALWAYS
LAUGH WHEN I SEE THESE YOUNG
00:22:03.28\00:22:05.32
COUPLES AND THE GIRL GETS THAT
LOOK IN HER EYES AND SHE SAYS,
00:22:05.35\00:22:08.82
'I WANT A BABY.' (LAUGHTER)
IT JUST TOTALLY IS LIKE - THEY
00:22:08.86\00:22:14.00
DON'T REALIZE THEY
DON'T STAY THAT WAY, YOU KNOW?
00:22:14.00\00:22:16.03
IT REMIND ME OF WHEN MY KIDS
SAY, 'I WANT A PUPPY.' IT'LL BE
00:22:16.06\00:22:19.40
A PUPPY FOR ABOUT A MONTH
AND THEN THEY GET TO A BIG DOG.
00:22:19.43\00:22:22.50
BUT WE HAVE OUR FAMILIES, WE GET
OUR PETS, WE DO THIS BECAUSE WE
00:22:22.54\00:22:26.71
WANT LOVE. WE WANT TO BE LOVED.
00:22:26.74\00:22:28.14
BUT THERE'S A RISK
WHEN YOU WANT LOVE.
00:22:28.18\00:22:30.48
NOW, I WANT LOVE, JUST LIKE YOU.
I WILL ADMIT I LIKE TO BE LIKED
00:22:30.51\00:22:34.72
MORE THAN I LIKE TO BE DISLIKED.
AND I FIGURED OUT A WAY
00:22:34.75\00:22:38.92
WHERE I CAN GET MORE LOVE.
IT CAME WITH MY SMART PHONE.
00:22:38.95\00:22:47.60
>>(PASTOR DOUG'S RECORDED VOICE)
'GOOD EVENING, PASTOR DOUG.
00:22:47.66\00:22:50.47
>>GOOD EVENING, SMART
PHONE. >>'HOW ARE YOU DOING
00:22:50.50\00:22:52.43
THIS FINE EVENING?'
>>I'M DOING FINE, HOW ARE YOU?
00:22:52.47\00:22:55.30
>>'WELL, MY BATTERIES ARE ALMOST
FULLY CHARGED, SO I GUESS YOU
00:22:55.34\00:22:58.41
COULD SAY I'M FINE.'
>>WE'RE GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
00:22:58.44\00:23:01.58
>>'PASTOR DOUG, I WANT
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.'
00:23:01.61\00:23:03.55
>>YES, SMART PHONE?
>>'I JUST HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
00:23:03.58\00:23:06.31
LATELY HOW WONDERFUL
YOU TRULY ARE. (LAUGHTER)
00:23:06.35\00:23:09.82
WOW, YOU EVEN
BORDER ON MAGNIFICENT.
00:23:09.85\00:23:12.32
MATTER OF FACT, YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL, YOU'RE HANDSOME,
00:23:12.35\00:23:16.09
YOU'RE TALL, YOU'RE
SMART. I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:23:16.12\00:23:21.60
I JUST HAVE TO TELL
YOU, I REALLY LOVE YOU.
00:23:21.63\00:23:24.77
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I
LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU.
00:23:24.80\00:23:28.67
I JUST ADORE YOU. YOU ARE
SO CUTE. I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:23:28.70\00:23:32.57
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.' (LAUGHTER)
>>I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PATENT
00:23:32.61\00:23:36.91
THAT AND MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY, RIGHT? (LAUGHTER) IT'S
00:23:36.95\00:23:39.75
JUST EVERYONE WANTS LOVE, THERE
YOU'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT A SMART
00:23:39.78\00:23:42.12
PHONE THAT SAYS IT LOVES ME. WHY
WON'T THIS WORK? IS THAT LOVE?
00:23:42.15\00:23:47.72
>>NO. >>BECAUSE I MADE IT SAY
00:23:47.76\00:23:49.72
IT LOVES ME. IT DOESN'T LOVE ME.
00:23:49.76\00:23:54.56
SO, COULD GOD PRE-PROGRAM
LUCIFER TO SAY, 'I LOVE YOU,
00:23:54.56\00:23:58.10
GOD. I LOVE YOU, GOD.
I LOVE YOU GOD.'? SURE.
00:23:58.13\00:24:00.54
WOULD IT HAVE BEEN LOVE? >>NO.
00:24:00.57\00:24:02.27
>>THE FACT THAT HE HAD TO MAKE
HIS CREATURES FREE ILLUSTRATES
00:24:02.30\00:24:07.01
THAT THERE'S A CHOICE THAT SOME
MIGHT CHOOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
00:24:07.04\00:24:12.05
AND HE DIDN'T COMPLETELY
OBLITERATE LUCIFER AS SOON AS HE
00:24:12.08\00:24:15.05
REBELLED BECAUSE THEN THE OTHER
CREATURES IN THE UNIVERSE WOULD
00:24:15.08\00:24:17.55
HAVE LISTENED TO GOD OUT OF
FEAR INSTEAD OF OUT OF LOVE.
00:24:17.59\00:24:20.89
GOD WANTS US TO OBEY HIM
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM, AMEN?
00:24:20.92\00:24:23.69
>>AMEN. >>SO WHAT HAPPENED AS A
00:24:23.73\00:24:25.63
CONSEQUENCE OF
LUCIFER'S REBELLION IN HEAVEN?
00:24:25.66\00:24:29.53
FINALLY IT BROKE OUT INTO A WAR.
00:24:29.56\00:24:31.80
AND THE WORDS 'WAR IN HEAVEN,'
THEY'RE A PARADOX, BUT THAT'S
00:24:31.83\00:24:35.70
WHAT IT SAYS IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 12, VERSE 7, "AND WAR
00:24:35.74\00:24:39.57
BROKE OUT IN HEAVEN: MICHAEL
AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT WITH THE
00:24:39.61\00:24:41.88
DRAGON:" - A DRAGON'S
A SYMBOLIC NAME FOR WHO?
00:24:41.91\00:24:44.71
THE DEVIL - "AND THE
DRAGON...FOUGHT," - AGAINST
00:24:44.75\00:24:47.92
MICHAEL - AND IT SAYS,
"BUT THEY DID NOT PREVAIL."
00:24:47.95\00:24:51.09
THEY WERE, ULTIMATELY,
CAST OUT. BUT WHERE DID THEY
00:24:51.12\00:24:54.76
GO FROM THERE?
WHERE IS SATAN'S PRESENT
00:24:54.79\00:24:57.36
HEADQUARTERS AS HE CONTINUES
HIS REBELLION AGAINST GOD?
00:24:57.39\00:25:01.40
WHERE DID THE DEVIL GO AS
HIS BEACHHEAD? AND YOU KNOW -
00:25:01.43\00:25:04.47
>>EARTH. >>YEAH,
HE CAME DOWN HERE.
00:25:04.50\00:25:06.43
I JUST PROBABLY OUGHT TO PAUSE
HERE AND ASK WHAT WAS USED IN
00:25:06.47\00:25:10.01
THAT BATTLE? WHAT DO
ANGELS USE? DO THEY USE GUNS?
00:25:10.04\00:25:12.71
I MEAN, WE TRIED TO ILLUSTRATE
THIS IN A FINAL EVENTS DVD - OR
00:25:12.74\00:25:16.54
COSMIC CONFLICT DVD -
ANY OF YOU EVER SEE THAT?
00:25:16.58\00:25:18.65
>>YES. >>AND WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
00:25:18.68\00:25:20.25
AND SO THE PRODUCER
GOT SOME LIGHT SABERS.
00:25:20.28\00:25:22.12
WE DIDN'T KNOW -
WHAT DO YOU ANGELS USE?
00:25:22.15\00:25:23.65
(LAUGHTER) THERE WAS, ACTUALLY,
A VERSE IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT
00:25:23.69\00:25:25.95
TALKS ABOUT AN ANGEL OVER
JERUSALEM WITH A SWORD AND SO WE
00:25:25.99\00:25:28.26
SAID THE ONLY WEAPONS WE
EVER SEE THESE ANGELS WITH ARE
00:25:28.29\00:25:30.26
SWORDS. SO WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:25:30.29\00:25:32.33
BUT I DOUBT THEY USED WEAPONS
LIKE WE DO HERE, BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:25:32.36\00:25:35.70
SPIRITUAL
CREATURES. BUT THERE WAS SOME
00:25:35.73\00:25:37.20
TREMENDOUS CONFLICT. AND,
FINALLY, THEY WERE EVICTED
00:25:37.23\00:25:40.77
- EXPELLED - FROM
HEAVEN. SO, WHERE DID HE GO?
00:25:40.80\00:25:45.27
HE WENT ALL THROUGH THE
UNIVERSE, PROBABLY, TRYING TO
00:25:45.31\00:25:47.41
FIND OTHERS HE COULD RECRUIT TO
JOIN HIM, UNTIL HE CAME TO THIS
00:25:47.44\00:25:50.91
WORLD AND HE
FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE.
00:25:50.95\00:25:53.11
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
12:4, "HIS TAIL DREW A THIRD OF
00:25:53.15\00:25:56.92
THE STARS" - WHO DO
THOSE STARS REPRESENT?
00:25:56.95\00:25:59.72
>>ANGELS. >>THE
ANGELS THAT JOINED
00:25:59.75\00:26:01.52
HIM IN HIS REBELLION.
OUT OF ALL THE ANGELS, WHAT
00:26:01.56\00:26:03.73
PERCENT JOINED
LUCIFER? >>ONE-THIRD.
00:26:03.76\00:26:06.29
>>ONE-THIRD. THAT'S A
LOT. IF GOD'S GOT GOOD
00:26:06.33\00:26:10.30
ANGELS THAT GUARD US.
THE DEVIL PROBABLY HAS
00:26:10.33\00:26:12.80
DEMONS THAT TEMPT US.
SOME OF YOU MAYBE READ C.S.
00:26:12.83\00:26:16.04
LEWIS' BOOK THE SCREWTAPE
LETTERS WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:26:16.07\00:26:19.04
WAY THAT THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS
TRYING TO WORK AND CONNIVE TO
00:26:19.07\00:26:21.81
BRING ABOUT PEOPLE'S DOWNFALL
AND HOW GOD INTERVENES TO SAVE.
00:26:21.84\00:26:25.85
HE CAST THEM TO THE
EARTH. SO HE CAME DOWN HERE.
00:26:25.88\00:26:29.02
AND, AGAIN, YOU CAN READ IN
REVELATION 12, VERSE 9, "SO THAT
00:26:29.05\00:26:32.45
GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT
SERPENT OF OLD, CALLED THE DEVIL
00:26:32.49\00:26:35.79
AND SATAN, WHO
DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD."
00:26:35.82\00:26:38.49
SATAN CLAIMS THIS WORLD IS HIS.
"HE WAS CAST TO THE EARTH AND
00:26:38.53\00:26:41.90
HIS ANGELS WERE
CAST OUT WITH HIM."
00:26:41.93\00:26:43.97
THERE'S NO QUESTION - SATAN
- AND HE'S NOT DOWN UNDER THE
00:26:44.00\00:26:46.63
EARTH SOMEWHERE.
REMEMBER, WHEN THE DEVIL CAME
00:26:46.67\00:26:49.30
BEFORE THIS HEAVENLY ASSEMBLY,
IN THE BOOK OF JOB, GOD SAYS
00:26:49.34\00:26:53.58
TO SATAN, 'WHERE
DID YOU COME FROM?'
00:26:53.61\00:26:54.98
- GOD KNEW, BUT HE'S ASKING
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHER
00:26:55.01\00:26:56.68
ATTENDEES AT THIS CONVENTION.
AND HE SAYS, 'I'VE COME FROM THE
00:26:56.71\00:27:00.68
EARTH, FROM WALKING UP AND DOWN
AND BACK AND FORTH IN THE EARTH.
00:27:00.72\00:27:04.05
IT'S MY DOMAIN.' HE'S SAYING,
00:27:04.09\00:27:05.92
'I SURVEY IT.' SO SATAN HAS
SET UP HIS HEADQUARTERS HERE.
00:27:05.95\00:27:10.06
CHRIST REFERS TO HIM AS
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
00:27:10.09\00:27:12.29
EVEN THE - JESUS - AND SATAN
ONCE CLAIMED HE COULD OFFER THE
00:27:12.33\00:27:15.30
WORLD TO JESUS
BECAUSE HE CLAIMS IT AS HIS.
00:27:15.33\00:27:17.23
HE DECEIVES THE WHOLE
WORLD. MOST OF THE WORLD
00:27:17.27\00:27:19.30
DOESN'T ACCEPT
CHRIST. BROAD IS THE WAY THAT
00:27:19.33\00:27:22.14
LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.
STRAIGHT IS THE GATE AND NARROW
00:27:22.17\00:27:25.61
IS THE WAY THAT LEADS
TO LIFE - FEW FIND IT.
00:27:25.64\00:27:28.51
THE DEVIL HAS DECEIVED MOST
OF THE PEOPLE AND IT'S VERY SAD.
00:27:28.54\00:27:35.72
