>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.56\00:00:05.13
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.17\00:00:09.34
>>MANY LEGENDS AND STORIES
FROM AROUND THE WORLD TALK ABOUT
00:00:09.37\00:00:12.31
FLYING DRAGONS, AND SOME MAY
EVEN CONTAIN A KERNEL OF TRUTH.
00:00:12.34\00:00:16.81
PALEONTOLOGISTS HAVE DISCOVERED
THE FOSSILIZED BONES OF GIANT
00:00:16.85\00:00:20.98
FLYING REPTILES CALLED
PTEROSAURS, OR WINGED LIZARDS.
00:00:21.02\00:00:25.12
THEY'VE GOT LONG, THIN BEAKS,
BONEY CRESTS ON THEIR HEAD - THE
00:00:25.15\00:00:28.72
LARGEST PTEROSAURS WEIGHED OVER
500 POUNDS AND HAD A WING SPAN
00:00:28.76\00:00:32.93
OF NEARLY 40 FEET. THAT'S
LIKE A SMALL CESSNA AIRPLANE.
00:00:32.96\00:00:36.80
PTEROSAURS HAD NECKS THAT WERE
UP TO TEN FEET LONG AND THEIR
00:00:36.83\00:00:40.00
LEGS UP TO SEVEN FEET LONG.
TO SOMEONE WATCHING FROM THE
00:00:40.04\00:00:43.07
GROUND, THE LEGS TRAILING BEHIND
A FLYING PTEROSAUR MIGHT HAVE
00:00:43.10\00:00:47.18
LOOKED LIKE A FLYING
DRAGON WITH A POINTED TAIL.
00:00:47.21\00:00:49.88
SOME PTEROSAURS MAY
HAVE EVEN SURVIVED THE FLOOD.
00:00:49.91\00:00:53.21
IN THE FIFTH CENTURY B.C., THE
GREEK HISTORIAN HERODOTUS WROTE
00:00:53.25\00:00:57.02
ABOUT WINGED SERPENTS IN ARABIA.
FRIENDS, WE KNOW OF AT LEAST ONE
00:00:57.05\00:01:02.12
DRAGON THAT EXISTS
TODAY, THE DRAGON IS ALSO
00:01:02.16\00:01:05.23
KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
WHILE SOME PEOPLE THINK HE'S
00:01:05.26\00:01:08.06
JUST A RELIGIOUS LEGEND,
SCRIPTURE INSISTS THAT HE IS
00:01:08.10\00:01:11.13
VERY REAL AND DETERMINED TO
DECEIVE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.
00:01:11.17\00:01:15.64
SO JOIN ME, TODAY, AS WE TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS ENEMY, THE
00:01:15.67\00:01:19.31
ONE THE BIBLE REVEALS TO BE THE
NOTORIOUS DRAGON OF REVELATION.
00:01:19.34\00:01:28.58
>>I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER
00:01:28.62\00:01:31.05
THIS NOTORIOUS CHARACTER
FROM MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA.
00:01:31.09\00:01:34.59
I DID A SERIES OF MEETINGS IN
COLOMBIA, AND HE WAS SOMETHING
00:01:34.62\00:01:39.73
OF A HERO THERE-- PABLO ESCOBAR.
00:01:39.76\00:01:44.93
HE WAS THE LARGEST
DRUG DEALER IN HISTORY.
00:01:44.97\00:01:50.21
AND, AT ONE TIME - MATTER
OF FACT, I'VE GOT A FEW AMAZING
00:01:50.24\00:01:51.81
FACTS HERE - I DON'T WANT
TO FORGET THEM, SO I'M GOING TO
00:01:51.84\00:01:54.28
READ SOME OF
THESE THINGS TO YOU.
00:01:54.31\00:01:55.98
AT ONE TIME HE WAS BELIEVED TO
BE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
00:01:56.01\00:01:59.58
HE HAD, BACK THEN,
30 BILLION DOLLARS.
00:01:59.61\00:02:01.75
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 50 BILLION
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.12
DOLLARS. IN THE
80S, THE DEMAND WAS SO
00:02:04.15\00:02:07.72
HIGH THAT, AT ONE POINT, PABLO
ESCOBAR AND HIS MEDELLIN CARTEL,
00:02:07.76\00:02:12.59
SELLING MOSTLY COCAINE,
WAS DELIVERING 15 TONS OF
00:02:12.63\00:02:16.00
COCAINE TO THE U.S. EACH DAY.
00:02:16.03\00:02:19.33
THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF TWO
AFRICAN ELEPHANTS - OF COCAINE.
00:02:19.37\00:02:23.30
DURING THIS ZENITH OF THE DRUG
TRADE, HE WAS MAKING 60 MILLION
00:02:23.34\00:02:28.61
DOLLARS A DAY IN
COCAINE --SELLING COCAINE.
00:02:28.64\00:02:34.08
IN FACT, I WAS READING THAT HE
HAD SO MUCH CASH - HE SPENT OVER
00:02:34.12\00:02:38.75
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH ON
RUBBER BANDS TO BUNDLE THE CASH.
00:02:38.79\00:02:45.43
HE HAD SO MUCH CASH HOARDED
AWAY IN TROPICAL BARNS THAT HE
00:02:45.46\00:02:51.27
FIGURED HE LOST 2 MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR TO RATS THAT
00:02:51.30\00:02:55.37
NIBBLED AWAY - AND
MOLD - MOLDING MONEY.
00:02:55.40\00:03:00.21
HE OWNED 5,000 ACRES OF
LAND NEAR A SMALL COLOMBIAN TOWN
00:03:00.24\00:03:03.58
WHERE HE BUILT A LITTLE UTOPIA
- 20-ROOM MANSION - WHERE HE'D
00:03:03.61\00:03:06.75
INVITE - HE'D JUST PAY AND HE'D
HAVE GREAT MUSICIANS AND PEOPLE
00:03:06.78\00:03:09.05
FROM AROUND THE WORLD COMING.
HE HAD HIS OWN BULL RING - HIS
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.82
OWN ZOO WITH HIPPOS, GIRAFFES,
AND ELEPHANTS. IN ALL, IT'S SAID
00:03:11.85\00:03:17.99
THAT HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR
APPROXIMATELY 4,000 DEATHS,
00:03:18.03\00:03:21.63
INCLUDING JUDGES AND A COLOMBIAN
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
00:03:21.66\00:03:26.00
BUT HE WAS NEVER SATISFIED WITH
ALL THAT MONEY AND THAT POWER.
00:03:26.03\00:03:29.60
HE WANTED TO BE
LOVED BY THE PEOPLE.
00:03:29.64\00:03:31.31
HE WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT OF
THE COUNTRY, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE
00:03:31.34\00:03:33.51
THAT. AND HE
STARTED GIVING MONEY TO
00:03:33.54\00:03:36.78
ALL THESE POOR VILLAGES AND
FOR SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC WORKS.
00:03:36.81\00:03:40.62
HE COULDN'T SPEND
HIS MONEY FAST ENOUGH.
00:03:40.65\00:03:42.32
AND THEY ALL LOVED HIM.
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A HERO - NOT
00:03:42.35\00:03:44.39
ALL - MANY PEOPLE LOVED
HIM. HE RAN FOR CONGRESS AND
00:03:44.42\00:03:46.96
GOT ELECTED, BUT
HE WASN'T SATISFIED.
00:03:46.99\00:03:50.46
HE WANTED MORE POWER AND HE
WANTED MORE AND HE WANTED MORE
00:03:50.49\00:03:53.13
AND WHEN SOME OF THE OTHER
PEOPLE IN POLITICS STARTED TO
00:03:53.16\00:03:55.70
INVESTIGATE HIM MORE
CAREFULLY, HE HAD THEM KILLED.
00:03:55.73\00:04:02.37
AND HE HAD A SAYING, 'MONEY -
SILVER - OR DO YOU WANT BULLETS
00:04:02.40\00:04:07.24
- LEAD?' AND HE GAVE
EVERYBODY THE CHOICE.
00:04:07.28\00:04:10.55
HE SAYS, 'I'LL EITHER PAY
YOU AND YOU CAN COOPERATE AND GO
00:04:10.58\00:04:12.71
ALONG WITH ME, OR YOU'RE
DEAD.' AND WHEN JUDGES BEGAN TO
00:04:12.75\00:04:16.65
INVESTIGATE HIM OR PEOPLE WERE
GOING TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM,
00:04:16.69\00:04:19.89
SUDDENLY THEY ENDED UP DYING.
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WAS RUNNING
00:04:19.92\00:04:23.19
AGAINST HIM, THEY
WERE ASSASSINATED.
00:04:23.22\00:04:26.36
AND - 4,000 MURDERS -
WASN'T HAPPY - MORE, MORE, MORE.
00:04:26.39\00:04:32.17
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT REMINDS US
OF THE CHARACTER THAT PROBABLY
00:04:32.20\00:04:34.17
INSPIRED PEOPLE LIKE ESCOBAR
- SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS LIKE
00:04:34.20\00:04:38.97
HITLER AND STALIN THAT JUST ARE
- HAVE AN INSATIABLE DESIRE TO
00:04:39.01\00:04:43.65
BE THE GREATEST, TO HAVE
MORE POWER, TO HAVE MORE MONEY.
00:04:43.68\00:04:47.75
AND IT REMINDS US ABOUT THE
ORIGIN OF THAT ARCH FIEND THAT
00:04:47.78\00:04:53.66
WE READ ABOUT IN THE BIBLE.
DEALING WITH THE VILLAIN OF
00:04:53.69\00:04:57.13
REVELATION - IN FACT, HE'S
THE VILLAIN OF THE WHOLE BIBLE -
00:04:57.16\00:05:01.06
BETTER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
FIRST QUESTION WE'RE GOING TO
00:05:01.10\00:05:04.97
ASK TONIGHT IS, 'WITH
WHOM DID SIN ORIGINATE?
00:05:05.00\00:05:08.57
YOU KNOW, JESUS CAME
TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.
00:05:08.60\00:05:10.51
WHY IS THERE SIN IN THE
WORLD? IF GOD MADE EVERYTHING
00:05:10.54\00:05:13.01
GOOD, WHY DO WE SIN?
WHERE DID SIN COME FROM?
00:05:13.04\00:05:16.54
PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY,
'WHO HAD THE FIRST COLD?'
00:05:16.58\00:05:19.81
'WHO HAD THE
FIRST CASE OF AIDS?'
00:05:19.85\00:05:22.78
WHERE DO THESE THINGS
COME FROM? IT'S LIKE A MYSTERY.
00:05:22.82\00:05:24.99
WELL, THE BIBLE
GIVES US THESE ANSWERS.
00:05:25.02\00:05:27.82
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 12,
VERSE 9 - IT REFERS TO HIM AS
00:05:27.86\00:05:31.29
"THAT OLD SERPENT,
CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN."
00:05:31.33\00:05:35.10
AND SO, HERE HE IS CALLED
'THE SERPENT', HE'S CALLED 'THE
00:05:35.13\00:05:37.83
DEVIL,' HE CALLED 'SATAN,' AND
HE'S ALSO CALLED 'THE DRAGON.'
00:05:37.87\00:05:41.57
AND SO, SATAN ORIGINATED,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, NOT HERE ON
00:05:41.60\00:05:45.61
EARTH, BUT UP IN HEAVEN.
THE BIBLE SAYS 'THE DEVIL
00:05:45.64\00:05:49.61
SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING.'
SIN ORIGINATED WITH SATAN.
00:05:49.64\00:05:54.78
SATAN IS THAT ARCH
FIEND. HE IS VERY REAL.
00:05:54.82\00:05:57.95
I BELIEVE THAT NOT ONLY
DOES GOD SEND GOOD ANGELS TO OUR
00:05:57.99\00:06:02.26
MEETINGS, I BELIEVE THE DEVIL
TRIES TO SEND REPRESENTATIVES TO
00:06:02.29\00:06:05.13
DISTRACT AND KEEP
PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE WORD.
00:06:05.16\00:06:07.93
THERE ARE
BATTLES THAT ARE RAGING.
00:06:07.96\00:06:09.86
PAUL TALKS ABOUT US NOT
WRESTLING AGAINST FLESH AND
00:06:09.90\00:06:12.50
BLOOD, BUT AGAINST
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS,
00:06:12.53\00:06:14.94
SPIRITUAL FORCES OF
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
00:06:14.97\00:06:18.07
THERE IS A GOD.
THERE ARE GOOD ANGELS.
00:06:18.11\00:06:21.41
AND THERE IS A DEVIL - THERE
IS AN EVIL POWER IN THE WORLD.
00:06:21.44\00:06:24.71
I THINK, AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENED IN HISTORY, YOU'D HAVE
00:06:24.75\00:06:28.88
TO SAY THAT THERE IS EVIL.
00:06:28.92\00:06:31.02
YOU LOOK AT WHAT SOME TERRORISTS
DO OR THEY PUT A PERSON IN A
00:06:31.05\00:06:33.32
CAGE AND DOUSE THEM WITH
GASOLINE AND VIDEOTAPE AS THEY
00:06:33.36\00:06:36.86
SET THEM ON FIRE -
THAT IS JUST INCARNATE EVIL.
00:06:36.89\00:06:41.33
ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE
TURN TO GOD IS, THEY SAY, 'YOU
00:06:41.36\00:06:43.30
KNOW, I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT
GOD, BUT WHEN I BECAME CONVINCED
00:06:43.33\00:06:45.97
THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTE EVIL,
THEN I THOUGHT, 'THERE MUST BE
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.57
GOOD. THERE
MUST BE GOD.' >>AMEN.
00:06:49.60\00:06:52.24
>>AND WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE
EVIDENCE FOR EVIL IN THE WORLD.
00:06:52.27\00:06:55.21
SO WHAT WAS SATAN'S
NAME BEFORE HE SINNED?
00:06:55.24\00:06:58.38
AND WHERE WAS HE
LIVING AT THAT TIME?
00:06:58.41\00:07:01.02
TWO OF THE PRINCIPLE PASSAGES IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT TELL US
00:07:01.05\00:07:04.42
ABOUT THE DEVIL - YOU CAN FIND A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM, OF COURSE,
00:07:04.45\00:07:06.92
IN GENESIS, BUT
HE'S NOT CALLED BY NAME.
00:07:06.96\00:07:09.69
YOU GO TO ISAIAH 14 AND ISAIAH
BEGINS WITH A PROPHECY ABOUT THE
00:07:09.72\00:07:14.56
KING OF BABYLON AND THEN
HE TRANSITIONS INTO THE POWER
00:07:14.56\00:07:17.83
BEHIND THAT WICKED KING.
"HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,
00:07:17.87\00:07:23.24
O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING!"
- THE WORD 'LUCIFER' - IT MEANS
00:07:23.27\00:07:25.77
'LIGHT BEARER' - IT'S REALLY A
LATIN WORD. IN HEBREW IT'S MORE
00:07:25.81\00:07:28.38
LIKE 'HELIEL' - IT MEANS 'THE
MORNING STAR' - "HOW YOU ARE CUT
00:07:28.41\00:07:31.95
DOWN TO THE GROUND, YOU
WHO WEAKENED THE NATIONS!
00:07:31.98\00:07:34.62
FOR YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART, 'I
WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL
00:07:34.65\00:07:38.32
EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS
OF GOD; I WILL ALSO SIT ON THE
00:07:38.35\00:07:42.26
MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION ON
THE FARTHEST SIDES OF THE NORTH.
00:07:42.29\00:07:45.16
I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS
OF THE CLOUDS, I WILL BE LIKE
00:07:45.19\00:07:48.66
THE MOST HIGH.' YOU CAN
TELL THAT HE HAD 'I' PROBLEMS.
00:07:48.70\00:07:53.03
(LAUGHTER) I, I, I - YOU KNOW,
I'VE HEARD THAT PEOPLE IN MENTAL
00:07:53.07\00:07:57.97
INSTITUTIONS USE THE WORDS 'I,'
'ME,' 'MY,' 'MINE,' AND 'MYSELF'
00:07:58.01\00:08:02.58
FIVE TIMES MORE THAN PEOPLE
THAT ARE REGARDED AS SANE.
00:08:02.61\00:08:06.82
SELFISHNESS WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY.
00:08:06.85\00:08:10.75
AND THE VERY IDEA THAT THE
CREATURE COULD REBEL AGAINST THE
00:08:10.79\00:08:14.26
CREATOR, TO YOU AND I IT SOUNDS
INSANE BUT, SOMEHOW, HE THOUGHT
00:08:14.29\00:08:17.66
HE COULD HAVE ENOUGH
POWER TO OVERTHROW GOD.
00:08:17.69\00:08:20.76
AND, DON'T FORGET, LUCIFER WAS
VERY POWERFUL - "YOU WERE THE
00:08:20.80\00:08:24.80
SEAL OF PERFECTION, FULL OF
WISDOM AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.
00:08:24.83\00:08:28.74
YOU WERE IN EDEN, THE GARDEN
OF GOD; EVERY PRECIOUS STONE WAS
00:08:28.77\00:08:33.27
YOUR COVERING: THE SARDIUS,
TOPAZ, AND DIAMOND, BERYL, ONYX,
00:08:33.31\00:08:37.21
AND JASPER," - HE WAS
BEAUTIFULLY ADORNED - THE
00:08:37.25\00:08:39.28
HIGHEST OF GOD'S ANGELS -
"THE SAPPHIRE, TURQUOISE, AND
00:08:39.31\00:08:42.68
EMERALD WITH GOLD. THE
WORKMANSHIP OF YOUR TIMBRELS
00:08:42.72\00:08:45.55
AND PIPES" - THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL
INSTRUMENTS - HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL
00:08:45.59\00:08:48.26
VOICE -
INCREDIBLE MUSICAL TALENT.
00:08:48.29\00:08:51.69
AND THE DEVIL DOES USE MUSIC -
"WAS PREPARED FOR YOU ON THE DAY
00:08:51.73\00:08:55.16
YOU WERE CREATED" -
NOT BORN. PEOPLE ARE BORN.
00:08:55.20\00:08:58.07
ADAM WAS CREATED. ANGELS
ARE CREATED, THEY'RE NOT BORN.
00:08:58.10\00:09:00.77
SO IT'S TALKING ABOUT A CREATED
BEING THAT WAS IN THE GARDEN OF
00:09:00.80\00:09:04.37
GOD - "YOU ARE THE ANOINTED
CHERUB" - NOW, IS THERE ANY
00:09:04.41\00:09:08.04
DOUBT WHO HE'S TALKING
ABOUT? HE WAS A CHERUB.
00:09:08.08\00:09:10.81
HE WAS A SPECIAL, CHOSEN CHERUB
- "THE ONE ABOVE ALL OTHERS, AN
00:09:10.85\00:09:14.38
ANGEL WHO COVERS;
I ESTABLISHED YOU SO.
00:09:14.42\00:09:18.35
YOU WERE ON THE
HOLY MOUNTAIN OF GOD.
00:09:18.39\00:09:19.95
YOU WALKED BACK AND FORTH
IN THE MIDST OF FIERY STONES.
00:09:19.99\00:09:23.32
YOU WERE PERFECT IN YOUR WAYS
FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED
00:09:23.36\00:09:27.86
TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN
YOU." SO, DID GOD MAKE A DEVIL?
00:09:27.93\00:09:36.44
EVERY GOOD AND
PERFECT GIFT IS FROM GOD.
00:09:36.47\00:09:38.97
DID GOD MAKE A DEVIL? >>NO.
00:09:39.01\00:09:40.58
>>OR DID GOD MAKE A BEAUTIFUL
ANGEL WHO DECIDED TO BE A DEVIL?
00:09:40.61\00:09:42.84
>>CORRECT. >>HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE KNOWN
00:09:42.88\00:09:44.75
FAMILIES - WONDERFUL FAMILY -
GOOD MOTHER, GOOD FATHER - HAVE
00:09:44.78\00:09:49.35
SEVERAL CHILDREN AND ONE
OF THEM JUST TURNS INTO A WILD
00:09:49.38\00:09:52.75
CHILD AND CAN BE EVIL?
AND YOU THINK - SAME FAMILY -
00:09:52.79\00:09:57.26
GOOD BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
BUT THIS ONE MADE CHOICES.
00:09:57.29\00:10:02.23
AND GOD IS A
GOOD FATHER. >>AMEN.
00:10:02.26\00:10:04.43
>>AND YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING,
'WELL, MAYBE THE LORD MADE A
00:10:04.47\00:10:06.30
MISTAKE, HUH?' NUMBER
3, WHAT WAS THE ORIGIN
00:10:06.33\00:10:10.57
OF LUCIFER AND WHAT WAS
HIS POSITION? WE'RE GOING TO
00:10:10.61\00:10:13.54
ELABORATE A LITTLE
MORE ON WHAT I TOUCHED ON.
00:10:13.58\00:10:15.61
IT SAYS "YOU WERE PERFECT IN
YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:10:15.64\00:10:18.31
CREATED, TILL
INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU."
00:10:18.35\00:10:21.42
THE ANGELS ARE THE
HIGHEST ORDER OF GOD.
00:10:21.45\00:10:23.95
THEY ARE THE
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD.
00:10:23.99\00:10:25.62
THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS, 'MAN
IS MADE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS.'
00:10:25.65\00:10:29.09
LUCIFER WAS THE HIGHEST OF
THE ANGELS AND, IF THESE ARE THE
00:10:29.12\00:10:32.46
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD, THAT
MEANS LUCIFER MAY HAVE BEEN ONE
00:10:32.49\00:10:35.40
OF THE EARLIEST CREATIONS OF
GOD - THE LEADER OF THE ANGELS -
00:10:35.43\00:10:40.47
INCREDIBLY
BEAUTIFUL - BIG, POWERFUL.
00:10:40.50\00:10:43.71
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF THE DEVIL.
00:10:43.74\00:10:46.54
AT ONE POINT, GOD RELEASED HIS
PROTECTION FROM JOB AND HE TOLD
00:10:46.57\00:10:50.78
THE DEVIL, 'ALRIGHT, I'M GOING
TO LET YOU AFFLICT HIM.' THE
00:10:50.81\00:10:54.05
BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL
BROUGHT FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:10:54.08\00:10:57.12
THE DEVIL SENT A HURR - SENT
A TORNADO TO KILL HIS CHILDREN
00:10:57.15\00:11:00.99
WHEN A HOUSE COLLAPSED.
ALL THESE CALAMITIES CAME.
00:11:01.02\00:11:03.29
SATAN HAD INCREDIBLE
POWER OVER THESE FORCES.
00:11:03.32\00:11:06.66
I DON'T WANT TO GLORIFY THE
POWER OF THE DEVIL, BUT YOU NEED
00:11:06.70\00:11:08.73
TO ALSO UNDERSTAND YOUR ENEMY,
AND SO JUST TO BE AWARE OF THESE
00:11:08.76\00:11:12.80
THINGS. YOU WERE PERFECT IN
YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:11:12.83\00:11:16.14
CREATED UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND
IN YOU. YOU WERE THE ANOINTED
00:11:16.17\00:11:20.91
CHERUB WHO COVERS" -
THE COVERING CHERUB -
00:11:20.94\00:11:24.11
"I ESTABLISHED YOU."
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER THE STORY
00:11:24.15\00:11:27.95
ABOUT THE ARK OF THE COVENANT,
AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS
00:11:27.98\00:11:31.19
A SYMBOL FOR THE THRONE OF
GOD. AND, THERE ON THE ARK,
00:11:31.22\00:11:35.39
THERE WERE TWO
CREATURES. WHAT WERE THEY?
00:11:35.42\00:11:37.29
>>CHERUBS. >>ANGELS - CHERUBS -
00:11:37.33\00:11:40.70
WELL, TWO OF THEM. THERE
WERE CALLED COVERING CHERUBS.
00:11:40.73\00:11:44.77
IF YOU READ IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 6,
IT TALKS ABOUT THE THRONE OF GOD
00:11:44.80\00:11:49.40
AND, BY THE THRONE OF GOD, ARE
THESE TWO SERAPHIM - THESE TWO
00:11:49.44\00:11:52.24
ANGELS - AND THEY CRY 'HOLY,
HOLY, HOLY' AND THEY'VE GOT SIX
00:11:52.27\00:11:54.84
WINGS AND WITH TWO WINGS THEY
COVER THEIR FACE AND TWO THEY
00:11:54.88\00:11:57.85
COVER THEIR FEET, AND TWO THEY
- THEY FLY AND THEY'RE THE RIGHT
00:11:57.88\00:12:01.55
AND LEFT-HAND POSITION OF
GOD ALMIGHTY - THE MOST HIGHLY
00:12:01.58\00:12:05.22
REGARDED POSITION
ARE THESE TWO ANGELS.
00:12:05.25\00:12:07.42
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER
NOTICED, WHEN THE POPE SITS ON
00:12:07.46\00:12:11.86
HIS THRONE - HE HAS A THRONE
THERE IN ST. PETER'S AND, EVERY
00:12:11.89\00:12:13.96
NOW AND THEN, HE'LL SIT ON
HIS THRONE - THAT THERE ARE TWO
00:12:14.00\00:12:16.20
ANGELS ON THE
RIGHT AND THE LEFT.
00:12:16.23\00:12:17.80
HAVE ANY OF YOU
EVER SEEN THAT BEFORE?
00:12:17.83\00:12:19.20
THAT HARKENS FROM THAT CHAPTER
THERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT
00:12:19.23\00:12:23.87
TALKS ABOUT ISAIAH.
LUCIFER HAD THE HIGHEST POSITION
00:12:23.91\00:12:27.58
RIGHT AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF GOD AND HE FELL.
00:12:27.61\00:12:32.11
(MUSIC) >>DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, WE'RE COMING BACK IN

WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:13:14.06\00:13:16.76
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:16.79\00:13:18.79
>>NOW WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE
00:13:20.26\00:13:21.86
WAS A GOOD AND A
COOPERATIVE AND A LOVING ANGEL.
00:13:21.90\00:13:24.57
AND, IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN HIM
BACK THEN, YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED
00:13:24.60\00:13:27.54
HIM BECAUSE
EVERYTHING GOD MAKES IS GOOD.
00:13:27.57\00:13:30.71
THE BIBLE SAYS 'EVERY GOOD GIFT'
- IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD'S
00:13:30.74\00:13:33.81
INTENTIONS ARE, LOOK
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:13:33.84\00:13:35.21
WHEN GOD MADE THIS WORLD - EVERY
DAY, WHEN HE CREATES SOMETHING,
00:13:35.24\00:13:37.38
WHAT DOES HE
DECLARE? >>IT'S GOOD.
00:13:37.41\00:13:39.31
>>IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.
IT WAS GOOD. IT WAS GOOD.
00:13:39.35\00:13:41.78
IT WAS GOOD, GOOD, VERY
GOOD. IT WAS A PARADISE.
00:13:41.82\00:13:45.02
AND, DO YOU THINK HE
HAD LESS GOING ON IN HEAVEN?
00:13:45.05\00:13:47.52
EVERYTHING GOD MADE WAS
GOOD. THERE WAS PERFECT HARMONY.
00:13:47.56\00:13:50.53
HOW LONG DID THAT
LAST? I DON'T KNOW.
00:13:50.56\00:13:52.89
LUCIFER MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON
THE RIGHT TRACK FOR MILLIONS OF
00:13:52.93\00:13:56.40
YEARS - NO WAY OF
KNOWING RIGHT NOW.
00:13:56.43\00:13:58.47
BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED.
HE BECAME DISSATISFIED.
00:13:58.50\00:14:02.30
HE BEGAN TO BE JEALOUS OF
THE HONOR AND THE WORSHIP AND
00:14:02.34\00:14:06.54
ADORATION THAT JESUS RECEIVED
FROM THE OTHER CREATURES -
00:14:06.57\00:14:10.31
CHRIST, BEFORE HIS INCARNATION
- AND HE WANTED THAT POSITION.
00:14:10.35\00:14:14.98
AND HE BEGAN TO RESENT
THAT GOD WAS WORSHIPED.
00:14:15.02\00:14:18.69
HE STARTED TO RESENT
THAT GOD HAD RULES AND LAWS.
00:14:18.72\00:14:21.62
HE STARTED THINKING, 'WE
SHOULDN'T - WE'RE INTELLIGENT
00:14:21.66\00:14:23.73
ANGELS, WE DON'T NEED
GOD TELLING US WHAT TO DO.
00:14:23.76\00:14:25.93
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.
00:14:25.96\00:14:28.33
WHY CAN'T I HAVE
THE POWER TO CREATE?'
00:14:28.36\00:14:30.50
HE MAY HAVE RESENTED WHEN GOD
WAS MAKING THE WORLD BECAUSE,
00:14:30.53\00:14:33.34
YOU KNOW, HUMANS CAN
PROCREATE IN THEIR OWN IMAGE.
00:14:33.37\00:14:36.74
WE'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
GOD CREATES IN HIS OWN IMAGE; WE
00:14:36.77\00:14:39.57
CREATE, THROUGH AN ACT
OF LOVE, IN OUR OWN IMAGE.
00:14:39.61\00:14:42.28
ANGELS CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID ANGELS
00:14:42.31\00:14:44.45
DON'T MARRY AND THEY CAN'T
PROCREATE. AND SO, HE BEGAN TO
00:14:44.48\00:14:49.55
RESENT THAT HE DIDN'T
HAVE ALL THE POWER OF GOD.
00:14:49.58\00:14:53.02
AND HE STARTED TO WANT
THE POSITION OF CHRIST.
00:14:53.05\00:14:55.86
AND HE BEGAN TO START
A CAMPAIGN TO TAKE THAT.
00:14:55.89\00:14:59.43
NOW, WHILE - I WANT
YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.
00:14:59.46\00:15:05.53
JUST FOR A MOMENT I WANT YOU TO
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST PICTURE
00:15:05.57\00:15:08.47
- WHAT WOULD
THE DEVIL LOOK LIKE?
00:15:08.50\00:15:09.90
NOW, DON'T THINK
TOO LONG ABOUT THAT.
00:15:09.94\00:15:11.57
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DID YOU SEE?
00:15:11.61\00:15:15.68
HOW MANY OF YOU SAW A
CHARACTER WITH A GOATEE?
00:15:15.71\00:15:19.28
ANY OF YOU PICTURE A CHARACTER
THAT HAD RED? RED LEOTARDS?
00:15:19.31\00:15:25.09
ANYONE, WHEN - HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE SEEN IMAGES OF THE DEVIL?
00:15:25.12\00:15:27.56
HORNS? PITCHFORK? BAT WINGS?
00:15:27.59\00:15:32.63
HE'S NOT BATMAN
BUT HE'S GOT BAT WINGS.
00:15:32.66\00:15:36.60
DO THESE IMAGES
COME FROM THE BIBLE?
00:15:36.63\00:15:40.47
NOW THE DEVIL'S HAPPY - YOU
KNOW, YOU BUY A CAN OF RED DEVIL
00:15:40.50\00:15:43.71
PAINT OR YOU GET DEVIL'S FOOD
CAKE AND IT'S ALWAYS GOT THE
00:15:43.74\00:15:46.14
TYPICAL, TRADITIONAL CARTOON
CHARACTER OF WHAT THE DEVIL
00:15:46.17\00:15:49.18
LOOKS LIKE, BUT SATAN
ISN'T A JOKE, HE'S VERY REAL.
00:15:49.21\00:15:52.98
HE'S DELIGHTED TO HAVE PEOPLE
THINK THAT HE LOOKS LIKE THIS
00:15:53.01\00:15:55.65
MYTHICAL, COMICAL
CHARACTER. IN REALITY, DOES
00:15:55.68\00:15:59.75
SATAN LOOK LIKE THAT? OR DOES
THE BIBLE SAY SATAN, HIMSELF,
00:15:59.79\00:16:02.29
CAN BE TRANSFORMED FROM AN
ANGEL OF LIGHT? HE'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:16:02.32\00:16:06.76
>>INTO. >>YEAH,
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT -
00:16:06.80\00:16:09.53
THAT'S 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER
11. WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:16:09.56\00:16:12.87
SO WHAT LED HIM TO SIN?
YOU READ, AGAIN, IN EZEKIEL
00:16:12.90\00:16:17.31
28:17, "YOUR HEART WAS LIFTED
UP BECAUSE OF YOUR BEAUTY.
00:16:17.34\00:16:22.31
YOU CORRUPTED YOUR WISDOM
FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SPLENDOR.
00:16:22.34\00:16:25.65
FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR
HEART, 'I WILL ASCEND INTO
00:16:25.68\00:16:28.18
HEAVEN...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'" HIS POWER - YOU EVER
00:16:28.22\00:16:31.85
HEAR THE
EXPRESSION 'POWER CORRUPTS.
00:16:31.89\00:16:33.86
ABSOLUTE POWER
CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY'?
00:16:33.89\00:16:36.46
AND NOT ONLY DOES POWER CORRUPT,
BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE, IF THEY'RE
00:16:36.49\00:16:39.73
BLESSED WITH MONEY,
THEY CAN BE CORRUPTED BY IT.
00:16:39.76\00:16:43.20
SOME PEOPLE ARE
BLESSED WITH POPULARITY.
00:16:43.23\00:16:45.30
SOME PEOPLE ARE BLESSED WITH
HANDSOME OR BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE
00:16:45.33\00:16:50.31
AND THEY CAN BECOME PREOCCUPIED.
THE DEVIL, BECAUSE HE RECEIVED
00:16:50.34\00:16:54.48
SO MUCH PRAISE AND SO MUCH
ADORATION FROM THE OTHER ANGELS,
00:16:54.51\00:16:58.55
HE BEGAN TO WANT IT
ALL. HE STARTED TO RESENT
00:16:58.58\00:17:01.98
THAT JESUS WAS ABOVE HIM.
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
00:17:02.02\00:17:05.85
A KID WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU
TAKE THEM TO BASKIN ROBBINS 31
00:17:05.89\00:17:09.56
FLAVORS AND YOU GET THEM
A DOUBLE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM.
00:17:09.59\00:17:12.16
THEY'RE HAPPY UNTIL YOU GIVE
THEIR BROTHER OR SISTER A TRIPLE
00:17:12.19\00:17:15.33
SCOOP. (LAUGHTER) ISN'T THAT
RIGHT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?
00:17:15.36\00:17:21.80
THERE'S SOMETHING - THIS
JEALOUSY - THIS RESENTMENT - AND
00:17:21.84\00:17:24.61
HE BEGAN TO COVET
THE POSITION OF GOD.
00:17:24.64\00:17:27.08
"FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN
YOUR HEART: 'I WILL ASCEND INTO
00:17:27.11\00:17:29.64
HEAVEN...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'" - 'I WANT TO BE GOD.'
00:17:29.68\00:17:34.42
AND SO, HE BEGAN A CAMPAIGN.
HE REALIZED HE HAD TO WORK
00:17:34.45\00:17:38.12
SUBTLY AND HE BEGAN TO CIRCULATE
AMONG THE OTHER UNFALLEN
00:17:38.15\00:17:40.76
ANGELS IN HEAVEN.
WELL, NONE OF THEM WERE
00:17:40.79\00:17:42.39
FALLEN AT THAT POINT.
AND HE BEGAN TO CREATE
00:17:42.42\00:17:45.26
INNUENDO AND DOUBTS ABOUT
GOD. AND, YOU KNOW, 'WE DON'T
00:17:45.29\00:17:48.93
NEED GOD TELLING US. WE
SHOULD ALL BE OUR OWN GODS.
00:17:48.96\00:17:51.77
AND HE SHOULD GIVE US
THE ABILITY TO CREATE.
00:17:51.80\00:17:53.54
AND WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO GOD, WHY
DOESN'T HE GIVE US MORE GLORY?
00:17:53.57\00:17:56.81
AND WHY DON'T WE GET WORSHIPPED
BY THE OTHER UNFALLEN WORLDS?'
00:17:56.84\00:17:59.77
AND LUCIFER BEGAN TO JUST SOW
SEEDS OF QUESTIONS AND DOUBT.
00:17:59.81\00:18:04.55
AND HE IS THE MASTER
AT IT. HE WAS BRILLIANT.
00:18:04.58\00:18:08.98
HE HAD SUPERNATURAL INTELLIGENCE
THAT YOU AND I CANNOT EVEN
00:18:09.02\00:18:12.02
COMPREHEND AND HE BEGAN TO BEND
ALL OF HIS ENERGIES TO SEE IF HE
00:18:12.05\00:18:16.12
COULD - HE THOUGHT, 'IF I COULD
GET ALL OF THE POWER OF THESE
00:18:16.16\00:18:18.63
BILLIONS OF ANGELS ON MY SIDE,
WE COULD EVEN OVERTHROW GOD.'
00:18:18.66\00:18:24.50
I KNOW, IT SOUNDS CRAZY TO
US, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE DID.
00:18:24.53\00:18:27.54
HE BEGAN A REBELLION IN HEAVEN
AND ONE-THIRD OF THE ANGELS
00:18:27.57\00:18:31.57
STARTED LISTENING TO HIM.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN READ THERE IN
00:18:31.61\00:18:34.58
PROVERBS CHAPTER 6, VERSES 16
THROUGH 19, IT SAYS, "THESE SIX
00:18:34.61\00:18:39.75
THINGS THE LORD HATES, YES,
SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION TO HIM;
00:18:39.78\00:18:44.55
A PROUD LOOK," - FIRST -
"A LYING TONGUE,' - THE DEVIL
00:18:44.59\00:18:47.72
STARTED WITH PRIDE - "A LYING
TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT
00:18:47.76\00:18:52.16
BLOOD, A HEART THAT DEVISES
WICKED PLANS, FEET THAT ARE
00:18:52.19\00:18:56.26
SWIFT IN RUNNING TO EVIL, A
FALSE WITNESS WHO SPEAKS LIES,
00:18:56.30\00:19:00.47
AND ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG
BRETHREN." NOTICE THE PART THAT
00:19:00.50\00:19:05.47
HE MENTIONS WITH - THE SEVENTH
- 'ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG
00:19:05.51\00:19:09.54
BRETHREN.' WHAT DID LUCIFER DO?
HE STARTED WITH PRIDE AND ENDED
00:19:09.58\00:19:12.98
UP SOWING DISCORD IN HEAVEN.
IT FINALLY TURNED INTO AN OPEN
00:19:13.01\00:19:16.75
REBELLION AND THEY
WERE FINALLY CAST OUT.
00:19:16.79\00:19:19.62
NOW, BEFORE I GET TO THAT PART,
SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING,
00:19:19.65\00:19:23.36
'PASTOR DOUG,' - ALRIGHT, LET'S
ASK THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION:
00:19:23.39\00:19:29.43
'IF GOD'S IN CHARGE - IF GOD IS
ALL-POWERFUL, WHY WOULD HE PUT
00:19:29.46\00:19:33.90
UP WITH THAT? IF
SOMETHING - IF LUCIFER
00:19:33.94\00:19:36.91
STARTED TO MISBEHAVE LIKE
THAT THEN, OBVIOUSLY, GOD DID
00:19:36.94\00:19:40.24
SOMETHING WRONG IN
THE PROGRAMMING - THERE
00:19:40.28\00:19:42.94
WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM.
GOD GOT THE WIRING WRONG.
00:19:42.98\00:19:47.32
THERE WAS A DEFECT
SOMEWHERE IN LUCIFER.
00:19:47.35\00:19:50.39
IF THERE WAS NO DEFECT HE
NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THAT.
00:19:50.42\00:19:53.02
WHY WOULD GOD MAKE AN ANGEL
THAT EVEN COULD BECOME A DEVIL?
00:19:53.05\00:19:56.02
WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TAKE A
DIFFERENT PATTERN OFF THE WALL
00:19:56.06\00:19:58.39
AND SAY, 'I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE
THAT WILL NEVER BECOME A DEVIL'
00:19:58.43\00:20:00.33
- AND YOU AND I WOULDN'T HAVE
ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IN
00:20:00.36\00:20:02.33
THE WORLD TODAY OR IN OUR LIVES.
LORD, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?'
00:20:02.36\00:20:06.97
DID GOD MAKE A MISTAKE? >>NO.
00:20:07.00\00:20:12.64
>>COULD GOD HAVE MADE
LUCIFER WHERE HE NEVER REBELLED?
00:20:12.67\00:20:15.78
YES. WHY DIDN'T HE?
BECAUSE GOD GIVES ALL OF
00:20:15.81\00:20:21.65
HIS CREATURES FREEDOM.
THE GREATEST PROOF THAT GOD IS
00:20:21.68\00:20:23.65
A GOD OF LOVE IS THE FACT
THAT SOME OF THE CREATURES
00:20:23.69\00:20:27.32
CHOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PARENTS?
00:20:27.36\00:20:34.00
DID YOU KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU HAD
CHILDREN THERE WAS A RISK THAT
00:20:34.03\00:20:36.73
YOUR CHILDREN MIGHT
NOT ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU?
00:20:36.77\00:20:39.40
>>YES. >>AND YOU
STILL HAD THEM, RIGHT?
00:20:39.43\00:20:44.61
LET ME SEE IF - HOW
MANY OF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED?
00:20:44.64\00:20:48.64
DID ANY OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN
BECAUSE YOU WANTED LOVE?
00:20:48.68\00:20:52.25
YOU GOT A SURPRISE, DIDN'T YOU?
00:20:52.28\00:20:53.75
SOME OF YOU HAD CHILDREN
BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO LOVE.
00:20:53.78\00:20:56.35
YOU KNOW, I JUST - I ALWAYS
LAUGH WHEN I SEE THESE YOUNG
00:20:56.38\00:20:58.42
COUPLES AND THE GIRL GETS THAT
LOOK IN HER EYES AND SHE SAYS,
00:20:58.45\00:21:01.99
'I WANT A BABY.' (LAUGHTER)
IT JUST TOTALLY IS LIKE - THEY
00:21:02.02\00:21:07.13
DON'T REALIZE THEY
DON'T STAY THAT WAY, YOU KNOW?
00:21:07.20\00:21:09.20
IT REMIND ME OF WHEN MY KIDS
SAY, 'I WANT A PUPPY.' IT'LL BE
00:21:09.23\00:21:12.57
A PUPPY FOR ABOUT A MONTH
AND THEN THEY GET TO A BIG DOG.
00:21:12.60\00:21:15.67
BUT WE HAVE OUR FAMILIES, WE GET
OUR PETS, WE DO THIS BECAUSE WE
00:21:15.70\00:21:19.87
WANT LOVE. WE WANT TO BE LOVED.
00:21:19.91\00:21:21.31
BUT THERE'S A RISK
WHEN YOU WANT LOVE.
00:21:21.34\00:21:23.65
NOW, I WANT LOVE, JUST LIKE YOU.
I WILL ADMIT I LIKE TO BE LIKED
00:21:23.68\00:21:27.88
MORE THAN I LIKE TO BE DISLIKED.
AND I FIGURED OUT A WAY
00:21:27.92\00:21:32.09
WHERE I CAN GET MORE LOVE.
IT CAME WITH MY SMART PHONE.
00:21:32.12\00:21:40.80
>>(PASTOR DOUG'S RECORDED VOICE)
'GOOD EVENING, PASTOR DOUG.
00:21:40.83\00:21:43.63
>>GOOD EVENING, SMART
PHONE. >>'HOW ARE YOU DOING
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.60
THIS FINE EVENING?'
>>I'M DOING FINE, HOW ARE YOU?
00:21:45.63\00:21:48.47
>>'WELL, MY BATTERIES ARE ALMOST
FULLY CHARGED, SO I GUESS YOU
00:21:48.50\00:21:51.57
COULD SAY I'M FINE.'
>>WE'RE GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
00:21:51.61\00:21:54.68
>>'PASTOR DOUG, I WANT
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.'
00:21:54.71\00:21:56.58
>>YES, SMART PHONE?
>>'I JUST HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
00:21:56.61\00:21:59.35
LATELY HOW WONDERFUL
YOU TRULY ARE. (LAUGHTER)
00:21:59.38\00:22:02.92
WOW, YOU EVEN
BORDER ON MAGNIFICENT.
00:22:02.95\00:22:05.42
MATTER OF FACT, YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL, YOU'RE HANDSOME,
00:22:05.45\00:22:09.19
YOU'RE TALL, YOU'RE
SMART. I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:22:09.22\00:22:14.73
I JUST HAVE TO TELL
YOU, I REALLY LOVE YOU.
00:22:14.73\00:22:17.87
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I
LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU.
00:22:17.90\00:22:21.77
I JUST ADORE YOU. YOU ARE
SO CUTE. I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:22:21.80\00:22:25.67
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.' (LAUGHTER)
>>I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PATENT
00:22:25.71\00:22:30.01
THAT AND MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY, RIGHT? (LAUGHTER) IT'S
00:22:30.05\00:22:32.85
JUST EVERYONE WANTS LOVE, THERE
YOU'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT A SMART
00:22:32.88\00:22:35.22
PHONE THAT SAYS IT LOVES ME. WHY
WON'T THIS WORK? IS THAT LOVE?
00:22:35.25\00:22:41.82
>>NO. >>BECAUSE I MADE IT SAY
00:22:41.86\00:22:43.49
IT LOVES ME. IT DOESN'T LOVE ME.
00:22:43.53\00:22:47.66
SO, COULD GOD PRE-PROGRAM
LUCIFER TO SAY, 'I LOVE YOU,
00:22:47.66\00:22:51.20
GOD. I LOVE YOU, GOD.
I LOVE YOU GOD.'? SURE.
00:22:51.23\00:22:53.57
WOULD IT HAVE BEEN LOVE? >>NO.
00:22:53.60\00:22:55.30
>>THE FACT THAT HE HAD TO MAKE
HIS CREATURES FREE ILLUSTRATES
00:22:55.34\00:23:00.04
THAT THERE'S A CHOICE THAT SOME
MIGHT CHOOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
00:23:00.08\00:23:05.08
AND HE DIDN'T COMPLETELY
OBLITERATE LUCIFER AS SOON AS HE
00:23:05.11\00:23:08.08
REBELLED BECAUSE THEN THE OTHER
CREATURES IN THE UNIVERSE WOULD
00:23:08.12\00:23:10.59
HAVE LISTENED TO GOD OUT OF
FEAR INSTEAD OF OUT OF LOVE.
00:23:10.62\00:23:13.92
GOD WANTS US TO OBEY HIM
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM, AMEN?
00:23:13.96\00:23:16.73
>>AMEN. >>SO WHAT HAPPENED AS A
00:23:16.76\00:23:18.66
CONSEQUENCE OF
LUCIFER'S REBELLION IN HEAVEN?
00:23:18.69\00:23:22.56
FINALLY IT BROKE OUT INTO A WAR.
00:23:22.60\00:23:24.83
AND THE WORDS 'WAR IN HEAVEN,'
THEY'RE A PARADOX, BUT THAT'S
00:23:24.87\00:23:28.74
WHAT IT SAYS IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 12, VERSE 7, "AND WAR
00:23:28.77\00:23:32.61
BROKE OUT IN HEAVEN: MICHAEL
AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT WITH THE
00:23:32.64\00:23:34.91
DRAGON:" - A DRAGON'S
A SYMBOLIC NAME FOR WHO?
00:23:34.94\00:23:37.75
THE DEVIL - "AND THE
DRAGON...FOUGHT," - AGAINST
00:23:37.78\00:23:40.95
MICHAEL - AND IT SAYS,
"BUT THEY DID NOT PREVAIL."
00:23:40.98\00:23:44.12
THEY WERE, ULTIMATELY,
CAST OUT. BUT WHERE DID THEY
00:23:44.15\00:23:47.79
GO FROM THERE?
WHERE IS SATAN'S PRESENT
00:23:47.82\00:23:50.39
HEADQUARTERS AS HE CONTINUES
HIS REBELLION AGAINST GOD?
00:23:50.43\00:23:54.36
WHERE DID THE DEVIL GO AS
HIS BEACHHEAD? AND YOU KNOW -
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.37
>>EARTH. >>YEAH,
HE CAME DOWN HERE.
00:23:57.40\00:23:59.33
I JUST PROBABLY OUGHT TO PAUSE
HERE AND ASK WHAT WAS USED IN
00:23:59.37\00:24:02.97
THAT BATTLE? WHAT DO
ANGELS USE? DO THEY USE GUNS?
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.67
I MEAN, WE TRIED TO ILLUSTRATE
THIS IN A FINAL EVENTS DVD - OR
00:24:05.71\00:24:09.51
COSMIC CONFLICT DVD -
ANY OF YOU EVER SEE THAT?
00:24:09.54\00:24:11.61
>>YES. >>AND WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
00:24:11.65\00:24:13.21
AND SO THE PRODUCER
GOT SOME LIGHT SABERS.
00:24:13.25\00:24:15.08
WE DIDN'T KNOW -
WHAT DO YOU ANGELS USE?
00:24:15.12\00:24:16.62
(LAUGHTER) THERE WAS, ACTUALLY,
A VERSE IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT
00:24:16.65\00:24:18.92
TALKS ABOUT AN ANGEL OVER
JERUSALEM WITH A SWORD AND SO WE
00:24:18.95\00:24:21.22
SAID THE ONLY WEAPONS WE
EVER SEE THESE ANGELS WITH ARE
00:24:21.26\00:24:23.22
SWORDS. SO WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.29
BUT I DOUBT THEY USED WEAPONS
LIKE WE DO HERE, BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:24:25.33\00:24:28.66
SPIRITUAL
CREATURES. BUT THERE WAS SOME
00:24:28.70\00:24:30.17
TREMENDOUS CONFLICT. AND,
FINALLY, THEY WERE EVICTED
00:24:30.20\00:24:33.74
- EXPELLED - FROM
HEAVEN. SO, WHERE DID HE GO?
00:24:33.77\00:24:38.24
HE WENT ALL THROUGH THE
UNIVERSE, PROBABLY, TRYING TO
00:24:38.27\00:24:40.38
FIND OTHERS HE COULD RECRUIT TO
JOIN HIM, UNTIL HE CAME TO THIS
00:24:40.41\00:24:43.88
WORLD AND HE
FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE.
00:24:43.91\00:24:46.08
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
12:4, "HIS TAIL DREW A THIRD OF
00:24:46.11\00:24:49.88
THE STARS" - WHO DO
THOSE STARS REPRESENT?
00:24:49.92\00:24:52.69
>>ANGELS. >>THE
ANGELS THAT JOINED
00:24:52.72\00:24:54.42
HIM IN HIS REBELLION.
OUT OF ALL THE ANGELS, WHAT
00:24:54.46\00:24:56.56
PERCENT JOINED
LUCIFER? >>ONE-THIRD.
00:24:56.59\00:24:59.13
>>ONE-THIRD. THAT'S A
LOT. IF GOD'S GOT GOOD
00:24:59.16\00:25:03.20
ANGELS THAT GUARD US.
THE DEVIL PROBABLY HAS
00:25:03.23\00:25:05.70
DEMONS THAT TEMPT US.
SOME OF YOU MAYBE READ C.S.
00:25:05.73\00:25:08.94
LEWIS' BOOK THE SCREWTAPE
LETTERS WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:25:08.97\00:25:11.94
WAY THAT THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS
TRYING TO WORK AND CONNIVE TO
00:25:11.97\00:25:14.71
BRING ABOUT PEOPLE'S DOWNFALL
AND HOW GOD INTERVENES TO SAVE.
00:25:14.74\00:25:18.75
HE CAST THEM TO THE
EARTH. SO HE CAME DOWN HERE.
00:25:18.78\00:25:21.92
AND, AGAIN, YOU CAN READ IN
REVELATION 12, VERSE 9, "SO THAT
00:25:21.95\00:25:25.35
GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT
SERPENT OF OLD, CALLED THE DEVIL
00:25:25.39\00:25:28.69
AND SATAN, WHO
DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD."
00:25:28.72\00:25:31.39
SATAN CLAIMS THIS WORLD IS HIS.
"HE WAS CAST TO THE EARTH AND
00:25:31.43\00:25:34.83
HIS ANGELS WERE
CAST OUT WITH HIM."
00:25:34.83\00:25:36.87
THERE'S NO QUESTION - SATAN
- AND HE'S NOT DOWN UNDER THE
00:25:36.90\00:25:39.53
EARTH SOMEWHERE.
REMEMBER, WHEN THE DEVIL CAME
00:25:39.57\00:25:42.20
BEFORE THIS HEAVENLY ASSEMBLY,
IN THE BOOK OF JOB, GOD SAYS
00:25:42.24\00:25:46.47
TO SATAN, 'WHERE
DID YOU COME FROM?'
00:25:46.51\00:25:47.88
- GOD KNEW, BUT HE'S ASKING
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHER
00:25:47.91\00:25:49.58
ATTENDEES AT THIS CONVENTION.
AND HE SAYS, 'I'VE COME FROM THE
00:25:49.61\00:25:53.52
EARTH, FROM WALKING UP AND DOWN
AND BACK AND FORTH IN THE EARTH.
00:25:53.55\00:25:56.82
IT'S MY DOMAIN.' HE'S SAYING,
00:25:56.85\00:25:58.69
'I SURVEY IT.' SO SATAN HAS
SET UP HIS HEADQUARTERS HERE.
00:25:58.72\00:26:02.89
CHRIST REFERS TO HIM AS
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
00:26:02.92\00:26:05.13
EVEN THE - JESUS - AND SATAN
ONCE CLAIMED HE COULD OFFER THE
00:26:05.16\00:26:08.13
WORLD TO JESUS
BECAUSE HE CLAIMS IT AS HIS.
00:26:08.16\00:26:10.07
HE DECEIVES THE WHOLE
WORLD. MOST OF THE WORLD
00:26:10.10\00:26:12.13
DOESN'T ACCEPT
CHRIST. BROAD IS THE WAY THAT
00:26:12.17\00:26:14.97
LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.
STRAIGHT IS THE GATE AND NARROW
00:26:15.00\00:26:18.44
IS THE WAY THAT LEADS
TO LIFE - FEW FIND IT.
00:26:18.47\00:26:21.34
THE DEVIL HAS DECEIVED MOST
OF THE PEOPLE AND IT'S VERY SAD.
