IT SAYS IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6,
WHOEVER YOU OBEY, THAT'S WHOSE
00:00:14.11\00:00:16.71
SERVANT YOU ARE. SO,
YOU KNOW, TRYING TO ANALYZE
00:00:16.75\00:00:20.35
AND MELT DOWN AND BREAK DOWN
EXACTLY WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE
00:00:20.38\00:00:23.35
BEAST, IT'S NOT COMPLICATED,
IT'S WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:00:23.39\00:00:26.52
OUR STUDY, TODAY, IS
A VERY IMPORTANT ONE.
00:00:30.79\00:00:32.63
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS
WHO ARE WATCHING PROPHECY
00:00:32.66\00:00:34.40
ENCOUNTER - TALKING ABOUT A VERY
IMPORTANT AND INTENSE SUBJECT
00:00:34.46\00:00:39.57
CALLED THE MARK OF THE BEAST .
AND WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THAT, RIGHT
00:00:39.60\00:00:43.61
AWAY ALL KINDS OF
IMAGES COME INTO FOLKS' MINDS.
00:00:43.64\00:00:46.94
THEY WONDER, WHAT IS THIS?
IS THIS A COMPUTER CHIP UNDER
00:00:46.98\00:00:49.74
THE SKIN? IS IT
6-6-6 TATTOOED IN THE
00:00:49.78\00:00:52.75
FOREHEAD? IS IT A
SPECIAL SUPER CARD THAT
00:00:52.78\00:00:55.65
YOU CARRY IN YOUR PURSE OR YOUR
WALLET? AND WHAT IS THIS MARK?
00:00:55.68\00:01:01.62
IS IT SOMETHING PHYSICAL,
IS IT SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
00:01:01.66\00:01:04.66
WELL, WE'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:01:04.69\00:01:06.90
FIRST QUESTION: WHO IS PROTECTED
DURING THE SEVEN FINAL PLAGUES
00:01:06.93\00:01:11.67
THAT YOU FIND IN REVELATION?
THIS IS IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7
00:01:11.70\00:01:14.94
- IT SAYS THERE, "HURT NOT THE
EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE
00:01:14.97\00:01:18.94
TREES, TILL WE HAVE
SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
00:01:18.97\00:01:23.28
IN THEIR FOREHEADS."
THERE IS A GROUP THAT IS
00:01:23.31\00:01:25.45
PROTECTED AND THEY GET
A MARK IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
00:01:25.48\00:01:28.02
YOU MAY NOT HAVE CAUGHT THIS
EARLIER BUT, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
00:01:28.05\00:01:30.82
MARKED IN REVELATION? EVERYBODY.
00:01:30.85\00:01:35.89
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
ONE GROUP'S GOT THE MARK OF THE
00:01:35.92\00:01:39.16
BEAST AND ANOTHER
GROUP'S GOT THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:01:39.19\00:01:41.30
ONE'S GOT THE FATHER'S
NAME IN THE FOREHEAD - YOU GO TO
00:01:41.33\00:01:43.83
REVELATION 17, SHE'S GOT
A PARAGRAPH THAT CALLS HER A
00:01:43.87\00:01:46.40
HARLOT IN HER
FOREHEAD. WHAT WAS IT THAT
00:01:46.43\00:01:49.37
BROUGHT DOWN GOLIATH? A
STONE. WHERE? IN THE FOREHEAD.
00:01:49.40\00:01:56.24
THE WORD OF GOD - CHRIST IS THE
ROCK - THAT WORD OF GOD - TEN
00:01:56.28\00:02:00.35
COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN ON STONE
- IN THE FOREHEAD - BRINGS DOWN
00:02:00.38\00:02:02.95
THE DEVIL - JESUS FOUGHT THE
DEVIL IN THE WILDERNESS, 'IT IS
00:02:02.98\00:02:05.92
WRITTEN. IT IS WRITTEN.
00:02:05.95\00:02:07.06
IT IS WRITTEN.' AND
THE DEVIL FELL ON HIS FACE.
00:02:07.09\00:02:10.69
AND SO, GOLIATH, THAT
STORY IS EVEN A SYMBOL OF THAT.
00:02:10.73\00:02:13.33
WHAT IS THE SEAL THE RIGHTEOUS
RECEIVE IN THEIR FOREHEADS?
00:02:13.36\00:02:18.00
IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IN ISAIAH
8:16, "BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:02:18.03\00:02:22.60
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:02:22.64\00:02:26.14
SO THE LAW OF GOD
IS THE NEW COVENANT.
00:02:26.17\00:02:28.24
THY - 'HIS LAW HE WILL WRITE IN
OUR HEARTS.' AND IN THE HEART,
00:02:28.28\00:02:31.31
WHEN YOU SAY, 'THE HEART'
BIBLICALLY, YOU DON'T POINT
00:02:31.35\00:02:33.31
HERE. WHEN YOU SAY 'THE HEART'
00:02:33.35\00:02:35.02
BIBLICALLY, YOU POINT
HERE. 'AS A MAN THINKETH,
00:02:35.05\00:02:37.62
IN HIS HEART' - OKAY? SO
THE LAW OF GOD IS HERE IN THE
00:02:37.65\00:02:41.36
FOREHEAD, IN THE
HAND IS IN THE ACTIONS.
00:02:41.39\00:02:44.53
AND HE WANTS HIS LAW - NOW
EVERYBODY THAT HAS THE MARK OF
00:02:44.56\00:02:48.66
THE BEAST HAS WHOSE
SPIRIT? THE DEVIL'S SPIRIT.
00:02:48.70\00:02:52.80
EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE
SEAL OF GOD HAS WHOSE SPIRIT?
00:02:52.83\00:02:56.57
HAS GOD'S SPIRIT. SO WE
ALREADY KNOW THAT, AND WE
00:02:56.60\00:02:58.97
SHOWED YOU WHERE, IN
EPHESIANS, IT SAYS WE ARE SEALED
00:02:59.01\00:03:02.88
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT
THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPER IN
00:03:02.91\00:03:05.55
GOD'S LAW THAT
REVEALS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:03:05.58\00:03:08.85
NOW, LET'S REMIND YOU
WHAT HAS A BIBLICAL SEAL?
00:03:08.88\00:03:11.75
WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE AN OFFICIAL
00:03:11.79\00:03:13.79
SEAL TODAY -
THREE MAIN COMPONENTS.
00:03:13.82\00:03:16.76
IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE NAME OF
THE INDIVIDUAL, THEIR OFFICIAL
00:03:16.79\00:03:20.80
TITLE THAT GIVES THEM AUTHORITY,
AND THEN THEIR TERRITORY - YOU
00:03:20.83\00:03:24.93
KNOW, IT'S USUALLY
RESTRICTED TO SOME PLACE.
00:03:24.97\00:03:28.67
YOU CAN FIND THE SEAL OF GOD IN
THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, IN THE
00:03:28.70\00:03:32.81
COMMANDMENT THAT IS THE LONGEST,
AND THE ONE THAT BEGINS WITH THE
00:03:32.84\00:03:36.58
WORD 'REMEMBER', AND IT'S THE
ONLY COMMANDMENT WHERE YOU FIND
00:03:36.61\00:03:39.61
THE WORD 'HOLY', AND
IT'S THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:03:39.65\00:03:44.29
IT TALKS ABOUT OUR TIME - GIVING
OUR TIME - GIVING OUR WORSHIP TO
00:03:44.32\00:03:47.96
GOD. HE MADE AN
APPOINTMENT WITH US.
00:03:47.99\00:03:50.43
HE'S SO IMPORTANT TO US, WE WILL
KEEP THAT SACRED APPOINTMENT
00:03:50.46\00:03:52.83
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND WE WANT
TO NURTURE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
00:03:52.86\00:03:56.70
SO WHICH OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
HAS THAT SEAL - THE COMPONENTS
00:03:56.73\00:04:00.20
OF A SEAL IN IT?
FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:04:00.24\00:04:03.37
LET'S LOOK AT IT - EXODUS 20,
VERSE 11, "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE
00:04:03.41\00:04:07.31
LORD MADE" - THAT'S HIS NAME,
THE LORD - "MADE" - CREATOR -
00:04:07.34\00:04:11.01
HERE'S HIS TERRITORY -
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
00:04:11.05\00:04:13.21
IS ANYTHING NOT INCLUDED
IN THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH?
00:04:13.25\00:04:15.85
'CAUSE HE'S THE LORD OF ALL.
HE IS JEHOVAH, THE CREATOR AND
00:04:15.88\00:04:21.42
SUSTAINER OF THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:04:21.46\00:04:24.13
THE SEAL OF GOD IS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LAW OF GOD AND THAT LAW
00:04:24.16\00:04:27.23
SHOULD BE IN OUR
HEARTS AND IN OUR MINDS.
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.56
I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS
STUDY REAL EASY FOR YOU.
00:04:29.60\00:04:32.30
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IT
SAYS, IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6,
00:04:32.33\00:04:38.17
WHOEVER YOU OBEY,
THAT'S WHOSE SERVANT YOU ARE.
00:04:38.21\00:04:41.71
SO, TRYING TO ANALYZE AND MELT
DOWN AND BREAK DOWN EXACTLY WHAT
00:04:41.74\00:04:45.98
IS THE MARK OF THE
BEAST? IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
00:04:46.01\00:04:48.85
IT'S WHO DO YOU
WORSHIP? NOW, HOW DID THE EARLY
00:04:48.88\00:04:51.85
PROTESTANTS IDENTIFY THE
BEAST? WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
00:04:51.89\00:04:54.42
A LITTLE CHURCH HISTORY.
WHAT IS IT THAT DISTINGUISHES
00:04:54.46\00:04:56.86
PROTESTANTS FROM CATHOLICS? OF
COURSE, PROTESTANTS PROTESTED.
00:04:56.89\00:04:59.83
MARTIN LUTHER WAS THE ONE
WHO NAILED - BY THE WAY, WE'RE,
00:04:59.86\00:05:03.16
RIGHT NOW, IN THAT 500-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY FOR MARTIN LUTHER
00:05:03.20\00:05:07.00
NAILING HIS PROTESTS ON
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH IN
00:05:07.04\00:05:10.04
WITTENBERG AND ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MOST PROTESTANTS HELD IN
00:05:10.07\00:05:13.98
COMMON WAS THEY WERE ALL
UNITEDLY AGREED OF WHO THE
00:05:14.01\00:05:19.55
ANTICHRIST POWER WAS
IDENTIFIED THERE IN DANIEL 7, IN
00:05:19.58\00:05:24.05
2 THESSALONIANS, IN REVELATION
13 - AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ
00:05:24.09\00:05:27.79
SOME QUOTES NOW, SO PUT ON YOUR
SEAT BELT. BEFORE I READ THESE
00:05:27.82\00:05:30.16
TO YOU, I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY
CLEAR THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD,
00:05:30.19\00:05:35.76
LOVING, CHRISTIAN PEOPLE
IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
00:05:35.80\00:05:39.43
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY
INDIVIDUALS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:05:39.47\00:05:42.10
THE OFFICIAL POSITIONS THAT
THEY HOLD AND THE - HOW THEY
00:05:42.14\00:05:47.44
INTERPRET THE PLACE OF GOD
IN THE SCRIPTURES IN SALVATION.
00:05:47.48\00:05:51.65
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST AN
ANALYTICAL STUDY, BUT HERE'S
00:05:51.68\00:05:54.28
WHAT THEY SAID. JOHN
WYCLIFFE, HE WAS CALLED THE
00:05:54.32\00:05:57.92
STAR OF THE
REFORMATION - THE MORNING STAR.
00:05:57.95\00:06:00.76
HE'S THE ONE WHO TRANSLATED
THE BIBLE FIRST INTO ENGLISH.
00:06:00.79\00:06:03.83
I'VE BEEN TO
ENGLAND AND SEEN IT THERE.
00:06:03.86\00:06:06.06
HE SAID, "WE SUPPOSE THAT
ANTICHRIST, THE HEAD OF ALL
00:06:06.09\00:06:09.20
THESE EVIL MEN,
IS THE POPE OF ROME."
00:06:09.23\00:06:11.33
BY THE WAY, WHAT
CHURCH DID HE BELONG TO?
00:06:11.37\00:06:13.80
CATHOLIC CHURCH. SO
HERE YOU HAVE A CATHOLIC
00:06:13.84\00:06:17.84
SCHOLAR WHO IS SAYING
IT'S THE POPE OF ROME.
00:06:17.87\00:06:21.81
AGAIN, JOHN HUSS, HE SAID, "THE
POPE IS THE TRUE ANTICHRIST OF
00:06:21.84\00:06:26.88
WHOM IT IS WRITTEN THAT HE SITS
IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AMONG THE
00:06:26.92\00:06:31.42
PEOPLE WHERE
CHRIST IS WORSHIPED."
00:06:31.45\00:06:33.99
MARTIN LUTHER, "THIS TEACHING
[OF THE SUPREMACY OF THE POPE]
00:06:34.02\00:06:37.06
SHOWS FORCEFULLY THAT THE
POPE IS THE VERY ANTICHRIST."
00:06:37.09\00:06:40.23
- THEY DIDN'T
MINCE WORDS, DID THEY?
00:06:40.26\00:06:42.03
- "WHO HAS EXALTED HIMSELF
ABOVE, AND OPPOSED HIMSELF
00:06:42.06\00:06:45.27
AGAINST CHRIST." HERE
YOU'VE GOT CALVIN, "DANIEL
00:06:45.30\00:06:48.67
AND PAUL HAD PREDICTED
THAT ANTICHRIST WOULD SIT IN THE
00:06:48.70\00:06:52.24
TEMPLE OF GOD...WE
AFFIRM HIM TO BE THE POPE."
00:06:52.27\00:06:56.11
SO IF YOU'VE GOT ANY BAPTIST
ROOTS OR CALVINISTIC TEACHINGS -
00:06:56.14\00:06:59.78
IT'S WHAT CALVIN BELIEVED, IT'S
WHAT LUTHER BELIEVED - JOHN KNOX
00:06:59.81\00:07:03.25
- PRESBYTERIAN, "YEA, WE DOUBT
NOT TO PROVE THE KINGDOM OF THE
00:07:03.28\00:07:07.02
POPE TO BE THE KINGDOM
AND POWER OF ANTICHRIST."
00:07:07.06\00:07:10.53
ROGER WILLIAMS - IN AMERICA
WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND
00:07:10.56\00:07:14.03
STATE LARGELY BECAUSE OF ROGER
WILLIAMS. WILLIAMS HAD A VERY
00:07:14.10\00:07:17.77
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING.
HE SAID, 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:07:17.80\00:07:20.67
ARE ON TWO TABLES OF STONE.
ONE IS CIVIL IN NATURE AND ONE
00:07:20.70\00:07:26.44
IS MORE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE.'
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS DEAL
00:07:26.47\00:07:29.74
WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
NO GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA SHOULD
00:07:29.78\00:07:33.35
FORCE PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS.
00:07:33.38\00:07:36.79
YOU DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT
TELLING YOU WHAT GOD TO WORSHIP
00:07:36.82\00:07:38.62
OR WHEN TO WORSHIP HIM OR
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, RIGHT?
00:07:38.65\00:07:42.86
HE SAID, 'BUT NO GOVERNMENT
CAN NEGLECT THE LAST SIX
00:07:42.89\00:07:45.73
COMMANDMENTS: RESPECT OF
PROPERTY, RESPECT OF MARRIAGE,
00:07:45.76\00:07:49.66
RESPECT OF PARENTS - AND THAT
WAS A VERY BALANCED APPROACH.
00:07:49.70\00:07:54.70
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID: 'PASTOR
WILLIAMS SPOKE OF THE POPE AS
00:07:54.74\00:07:57.91
THE PRETENDED VICAR OF CHRIST ON
EARTH WHO SITS AS GOD OVER THE
00:07:57.94\00:08:01.78
TEMPLE OF GOD, EXALTING HIMSELF
NOT ONLY ABOVE ALL THAT IS
00:08:01.81\00:08:04.78
CALLED GOD BUT OVER ALL THE
SOULS AND CONSCIENCES OF ALL HIS
00:08:04.81\00:08:08.38
VASSALS, YEA OVER THE SPIRIT
OF CHRIST.' IT SAYS JOHN WESLEY
00:08:08.42\00:08:11.75
SAID, "HE IT IS...THAT EXALTETH
HIMSELF ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED
00:08:11.79\00:08:16.06
GOD, OR THAT IS
WORSHIPPED...CLAIMING THE
00:08:16.09\00:08:18.69
HIGHEST POWER AND
HIGHEST HONOR...CLAIMING THE
00:08:18.73\00:08:21.36
PREROGATIVES WHICH
BELONG TO GOD ALONE."
00:08:21.40\00:08:24.40
IF YOU READ THE WESTMINSTER
CONFESSION - MANY PROTESTANTS
00:08:24.43\00:08:27.97
ASCRIBE TO THIS - THERE - YOU
USED TO BE ABLE TO READ, "THERE
00:08:28.00\00:08:31.71
IS NO OTHER HEAD OF THE CHURCH
BUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOR
00:08:31.74\00:08:35.68
CAN THE POPE OF ROME IN ANY
SENSE BE HEAD THEREOF: BUT IS
00:08:35.71\00:08:39.91
THAT ANTICHRIST." (WHISTLES) I
MEAN, THIS IS - THIS IS HISTORY.
00:08:39.95\00:08:44.49
AT LEAST YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF
TO KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE -
00:08:44.52\00:08:47.49
"THAT MAN OF SIN AND SON OF
PERDITION THAT EXALTETH HIMSELF
00:08:47.52\00:08:50.13
IN THE CHURCH AGAINST CHRIST
AND ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD."
00:08:50.16\00:08:54.46
IN THE BOOK ALL ROADS LEAD
TO ROME - "A GREAT CLOUD OF
00:08:54.50\00:08:59.03
WITNESSES:" - LISTEN TO THESE
NAMES - "WYCLIFFE, TYNDALE,
00:08:59.07\00:09:03.14
LUTHER, CALVIN, CRANMER; IN
THE SEVENTH CENTURY, BUNYAN."
00:09:03.17\00:09:07.78
- YOU'VE READ PILGRIM'S
PROGRESS , THIS WAS THE VIEW OF
00:09:07.81\00:09:10.65
THE AUTHOR OF PILGRIM'S
PROGRESS - "THE TRANSLATORS OF
00:09:10.68\00:09:13.45
THE KING JAMES BIBLE" -
UNIFORMLY BELIEVED THIS -
00:09:13.48\00:09:18.99
"AND THE MEN WHO
PUBLISHED THE WESTMINSTER AND
00:09:19.02\00:09:21.32
BAPTIST CONFESSIONS OF FAITH :"
- I JUST READ YOU ONE OF THOSE -
00:09:21.36\00:09:23.99
"SIR ISAAC NEWTON" -
YOU EVER HEARD THAT NAME?
00:09:24.03\00:09:26.49
HE WAS ALSO QUITE A
BIBLE SCHOLAR - "[JOHN] WESLEY,
00:09:26.53\00:09:28.80
WHITFIELD, JONATHAN EDWARDS;
AND MORE RECENTLY, SPURGEON."
00:09:28.83\00:09:33.07
- THE PRINCE OF
PREACHERS - "BISHOP J.C.
00:09:33.10\00:09:35.37
RYLE AND DR. MARTIN LLOYD-JONES;
THESE MEN AMONG COUNTLESS
00:09:35.40\00:09:39.71
OTHERS, ALL SAW THE OFFICE OF
THE PAPACY AS THE ANTICHRIST."
00:09:39.74\00:09:43.98
THEY SAID, 'IF YOU'RE GOING
TO READ THE BIBLE AND STUDY
00:09:44.01\00:09:45.85
PROPHECY, IT'S INESCAPABLE.'
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS CERTAINLY
00:09:45.88\00:09:48.82
NOT POLITICALLY
CORRECT TO SAY THAT, IS IT?
00:09:48.85\00:09:53.05
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT
A POPE, NOW, WHO'S SO NICE.
00:09:53.09\00:09:55.66
HE SEEMS LIKE SUCH A NICE,
HUMBLE MAN AND HE SEEMS TO BE
00:09:55.69\00:10:00.06
JUST, YOU KNOW, HE'S PUTTING OFF
A LOT OF THE FANFARE AND WEALTH
00:10:00.10\00:10:03.47
OF PREVIOUS POPES AND HE'S
APOLOGIZING FOR PAST HISTORY AND
00:10:03.50\00:10:07.57
SO IT'S NOT VERY POLITICALLY
CORRECT, BUT AT LEAST YOU SHOULD
00:10:07.60\00:10:10.27
KNOW THIS WAS THE POSITION
OF PROTESTANTS FOR FIVE HUNDRED
00:10:10.31\00:10:13.61
YEARS - FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY.
00:10:13.64\00:10:15.21
YOU DON'T HEAR MUCH ABOUT IT
IN THE LAST FIFTY YEARS OR SO.
00:10:15.24\00:10:19.18
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
IN JUST A MOMENT WE'LL RETURN
00:10:20.65\00:10:23.32
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:10:23.35\00:10:26.22
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS
PROBABLY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL
00:10:26.25\00:10:29.59
AND FEARED SUBJECTS
FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:10:29.62\00:10:32.79
SOME SAY IT'S A NUMBER TATTOOED
ON OUR FOREHEADS OR A COMPUTER
00:10:32.83\00:10:36.46
CHIP EMBEDDED IN OUR HANDS.
00:10:36.50\00:10:39.13

00:11:30.72\00:11:33.59
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:33.62\00:11:35.89
SO WHAT IS THE MYSTERIOUS
00:11:37.76\00:11:38.86
NUMBER THAT
IDENTIFIES THE BEAST?
00:11:38.89\00:11:41.96
THIS NUMBER IS -
YOU ALL KNOW IT - 6-6-6.
00:11:42.00\00:11:47.67
HERE'S A PICTURE OF A FLORIDA
STATE TROOPER - 6-6-6 ON HIS
00:11:47.70\00:11:51.61
LICENSE PLATE
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:11:51.64\00:11:56.85
SEE, YOU ALL LAUGH.
EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S
00:11:56.88\00:11:58.55
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
I WAS GETTING CHANGE AT A STORE
00:11:58.58\00:12:01.95
ONE TIME AND, I FORGET WHAT I
BOUGHT, BUT IT CAME BACK AND MY
00:12:01.98\00:12:04.69
CHANGE WAS - ALL THE THINGS
I BOUGHT CAME UP TO $6.66 - AND
00:12:04.72\00:12:09.26
THE CASHIER - THE GAL - SAID,
'OOH, LOOK AT THAT, 6-6-6.' AND
00:12:09.29\00:12:13.66
I SAID, 'YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.' I
SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?'
00:12:13.70\00:12:17.47
SHE SAID, 'NO, BUT IT'S BAD.'
(LAUGHTER) AND EVERYONE KIND OF
00:12:17.50\00:12:22.54
KNOWS THAT. THEY
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
00:12:22.57\00:12:25.07
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT IS
AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:12:25.11\00:12:26.88
IF YOU READ IN THE DOCUMENT,
PROMPTA BIBLIOTHECA , ACCORDING
00:12:26.91\00:12:31.68
TO THE 1913 CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA - THIS IS A
00:12:31.71\00:12:34.68
VERITABLE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND WILL
00:12:34.72\00:12:38.22
REMAIN A PRECIOUS
MINE OF INFORMATION.
00:12:38.25\00:12:41.49
THIS BOOK IS QUOTED FREQUENTLY
AS AN AUTHORITATIVE CATHOLIC
00:12:41.52\00:12:44.86
SOURCE. HERE'S
WHAT IT SAYS: UNDER THE
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.03
HEADING 'PAPA VICARIUS FILII
DEI APPEARS AS THE TITLE FOR THE
00:12:47.10\00:12:53.03
POPE.' THAT IS ONE OF THE
OFFICIAL TITLES OF THE POPE.
00:12:53.07\00:12:56.87
NOW, I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE THOSE LATIN WORDS.
00:12:56.91\00:12:58.84
"THE LETTERS ON THE POPE'S CROWN
ARE THESE: VICARIUS FILII DEI:
00:12:58.87\00:13:03.21
WHICH IS LATIN FOR 'VICAR OF THE
SON OF GOD.'" - REPRESENTATIVE
00:13:03.24\00:13:07.15
OF THE SON OF GOD - JESUS
SAID, 'THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY
00:13:07.18\00:13:09.88
REPRESENTATIVE.' WHEN YOU ADD
THOSE WORDS UP - HOW MANY OF YOU
00:13:09.92\00:13:16.93
REMEMBER YOUR ROMAN
NUMERALS FROM SCHOOL?
00:13:16.96\00:13:20.10
AND THE V IS? FIVE.
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.40
FIVE. EVERY NOW
AND THEN YOU'LL STILL
00:13:22.43\00:13:23.63
SEE SOMETHING WHERE THEY'RE
USING THE OLD LATIN NUMERALS.
00:13:23.67\00:13:27.50
THE LETTERS HAD NUMERICAL VALUE
- NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT SOME OF
00:13:27.54\00:13:31.21
THEM HAD NUMERICAL VALUE.
THAT TITLE, WHEN YOU VERY SIMPLY
00:13:31.24\00:13:34.68
ADD UP THE VERY REAL VALUE OF
THOSE NUMBERS, VICARIUS ADDS UP
00:13:34.71\00:13:38.45
TO 112, FILII ADDS UP
TO 53, AND DEI IS 501.
00:13:38.48\00:13:46.19
AND YOU ADD THOSE UP
AND THAT COMES TO 666.
00:13:46.22\00:13:49.22
NOW, YOU KNOW, ABOVE THE HEAD
OF THE HIGH PRIEST, HE HAD A
00:13:49.26\00:13:52.89
PLACARD. THE PLACARD
SAID, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD'.
00:13:52.93\00:13:56.87
IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU, THE
WORD 'HOLY IS IN THE SABBATH
00:13:56.90\00:13:58.53
COMMANDMENT. HOLY IS THE
SEAL OF GOD - HOLY SPIRIT.
00:13:58.57\00:14:02.27
WHEN JESUS DIED, ABOVE HIS HEAD
IT SAID, 'KING OF THE JEWS'.
00:14:02.30\00:14:06.64
AND HERE, AT LEAST ON SOME
OCCASIONS, THE POPE USED TO WEAR
00:14:06.68\00:14:08.88
A CROWN THAT SAID,
'VICARIUS FILII DEI' - 'I AM THE
00:14:08.91\00:14:11.91
REPRESENTATIVE OF
GOD'. NOW, AGAIN, I WANT TO
00:14:11.95\00:14:13.98
MAKE SURE AND BE FAIR.
HERE'S JUST - THIS IS JUST
00:14:14.02\00:14:16.55
POPE BENEDICT A FEW YEARS
AGO. HE ALMOST NEVER APPEARED
00:14:16.58\00:14:19.79
WITH THE SAME CROWN ON.
HE LIKED TO CHANGE CLOTHES.
00:14:19.82\00:14:22.29
HE WAS A LITTLE MORE
FLAMBOYANT THAT POPE FRANCIS.
00:14:22.32\00:14:25.13
NOW, THE THIRD CROWN THAT YOU
SEE HIM WEARING THERE, ON THE
00:14:25.16\00:14:27.73
RIGHT, MOST OF THE PAPAL CROWNS
USED TO HAVE THREE CROWNS, AND
00:14:27.76\00:14:32.10
THAT MEANT BECAUSE HE WAS KING
OF HEAVEN, KING OF EARTH, AND
00:14:32.13\00:14:34.04
KING OF PURGATORY. THE
TRIPLE-TIERED CROWN - ONLY
00:14:34.07\00:14:37.37
THE POPE WAS
ALLOWED TO WEAR BACK THEN.
00:14:37.41\00:14:39.67
SOME OF THOSE ANCIENT CROWNS DID
HAVE THAT PLACARD ON IT THAT HAD
00:14:39.71\00:14:42.88
THE OFFICIAL TITLE. BUT,
IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE
00:14:42.91\00:14:45.15
THAT, MAYBE YOU'LL BELIEVE
THE BOOK BY JOHN PAUL II, CALLED
00:14:45.18\00:14:48.98
ON THE THRESHOLD OF HOPE .
"THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC
00:14:49.02\00:14:52.42
CHURCH" - AND THIS IS PAGE 3 -
"IS DEFINED BY THE FAITH AS THE
00:14:52.45\00:14:55.92
VICAR OF JESUS CHRIST (AND IS
ACCEPTED AS SUCH BY BELIEVERS).
00:14:55.96\00:15:00.23
THE POPE IS CONSIDERED THE MAN
ON EARTH WHO REPRESENTS THE SON
00:15:00.26\00:15:04.63
OF GOD, WHO TAKES THE PLACE
OF THE SECOND PERSON OF THE
00:15:04.67\00:15:09.40
OMNIPOTENT GOD OF THE TRINITY."
TAKES THE PLACE OF - AND HE'S
00:15:09.44\00:15:16.11
THE VICAR FOR THE SON OF
GOD. THAT'S WHAT VICARIUS
00:15:16.14\00:15:19.15
FILII DEI REPRESENTS.
SO WHAT IS THE BEAST'S
00:15:19.18\00:15:22.98
MARK OF AUTHORITY?
NOW WE'RE GETTING MORE
00:15:23.02\00:15:25.42
SPECIFICALLY INTO THE MARK.
WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE SEAL OF
00:15:25.45\00:15:27.62
GOD IS IN THE LAW -
IT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:15:27.66\00:15:30.96
AND, IN PARTICULAR, THE
SABBATH REPRESENTS THAT.
00:15:30.99\00:15:33.73
NOW I'M GOING TO READ TO
YOU FROM THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM.
00:15:33.76\00:15:36.36
CATECHISM USES
QUESTION AND ANSWER METHOD.
00:15:36.40\00:15:40.34
AND, WHEN YOU'RE - THIS IS
WRITTEN BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
00:15:40.37\00:15:42.77
WHEN YOU'RE
TEACHING. QUESTION: WHICH DAY
00:15:42.80\00:15:45.17
IS THE SABBATH DAY?
ANSWER: SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH
00:15:45.21\00:15:49.18
DAY - WHICH BEGS THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHY DO WE OBSERVE
00:15:49.21\00:15:53.35
SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?
ANSWER: WE OBSERVE SUNDAY
00:15:53.38\00:15:57.75
INSTEAD OF SATURDAY BECAUSE
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSFERRED
00:15:57.79\00:16:01.72
THE SOLEMNITY FROM
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY.
00:16:01.76\00:16:06.53
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED, IT WASN'T DONE BY
00:16:06.56\00:16:08.50
JESUS; IT WASN'T DONE BY THE
APOSTLES; IT HAPPENED HUNDREDS
00:16:08.53\00:16:11.57
OF YEARS LATER. IT
HAPPENED GRADUALLY.
00:16:11.60\00:16:13.94
PART OF THE REASON WAS BECAUSE,
WHEN THE ROMANS BEGAN TO FIGHT
00:16:13.97\00:16:18.17
AGAINST THE JEWS AND THEY
CONQUERED ISRAEL AGAIN - THEY
00:16:18.21\00:16:21.58
DESTROYED THE CITY - THE JEWS
BECAME - THEY FELL OUT OF FAVOR
00:16:21.61\00:16:25.88
IN ROME AND THEY ASSOCIATED
CHRISTIANITY WITH JUDAISM.
00:16:25.91\00:16:30.62
WELL, THE CHRISTIANS WANTED
TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE
00:16:30.65\00:16:32.82
JEWS AND, FOLLOWING THE
CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE, THEY
00:16:32.85\00:16:35.92
SAID, 'LOOK, WHY DON'T WE
JUST KEEP THE DAY THE PAGANS ARE
00:16:35.96\00:16:38.06
KEEPING? THE FIRST DAY - THE DAY
OF THE SUN' - BECAUSE THAT WAS
00:16:38.09\00:16:40.96
ALL ABOUT SUN WORSHIP - AND IT'S
THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION.
00:16:40.96\00:16:45.20
AND THE CHURCH LEADERS BEGAN
TO ARGUE IT, BUT THERE WAS NO
00:16:45.23\00:16:47.37
SCRIPTURE FOR IT. IT
WAS A MAN-MADE LAW AND JESUS
00:16:47.40\00:16:51.41
SAID, 'WHY DO YOU KEEP THE
TRADITIONS OF MEN AND PUT THE
00:16:51.44\00:16:53.94
COMMANDMENT OF GOD ASIDE?
SO IN THE LAST DAYS GOD IS
00:16:53.98\00:16:57.41
CALLING PEOPLE BACK TO THE WORD
- NOT JUST ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:16:57.45\00:17:00.48
SABBATH TRUTH,
BUT A NUMBER OF AREAS.
00:17:00.52\00:17:03.08
LET ME FINISH THIS QUOTE HERE,
IT SAYS, HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY
00:17:03.12\00:17:06.96
- QUESTION - HAVE YOU ANY OTHER
WAY OF PROVING THAT THE CHURCH
00:17:06.99\00:17:09.99
HAS POWER TO
INSTITUTE FESTIVALS OF PRECEPT?
00:17:10.03\00:17:14.13
AND THE ANSWER IS, YES, HAD
SHE NOT SUCH POWER SHE COULD NOT
00:17:14.20\00:17:18.63
HAVE DONE THAT IN WHICH ALL
MODERN RELIGIONISTS AGREE WITH
00:17:18.67\00:17:22.10
HER - NOT ALL, BUT MANY - SHE
COULD NOT HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE
00:17:22.14\00:17:26.07
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY THE FIRST
DAY OF THE WEEK FOR SATURDAY THE
00:17:26.11\00:17:30.85
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK - FOR
THE OBSERVANCE OF SATURDAY THE
00:17:30.88\00:17:34.68
SEVENTH DAY, A CHANGE FOR
WHICH THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL
00:17:34.72\00:17:38.65
AUTHORITY. RIGHT IN
THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM
00:17:38.69\00:17:41.32
THEY WILL FREELY ADMIT
THIS IS NOT BIBLE-BASED.
00:17:41.36\00:17:44.59
WE DID IT BY A SENSE
OF OUR OWN AUTHORITY.
00:17:44.63\00:17:48.06
AND THEY CLAIM THAT WHAT THE
CHURCH SAYS AND WHAT THE POPE
00:17:48.10\00:17:51.43
SAYS IS MORE VALUABLE THAN WHAT
JESUS SAID - WHAT GOD SPOKE FROM
00:17:51.47\00:17:55.00
THE MOUNTAIN; WHAT THE
LORD WROTE WITH HIS FINGER -
00:17:55.04\00:17:57.21
I RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE. THIS IS AN ISSUE.
00:17:57.24\00:18:01.14
BOTTOM LINE IN THE LAST
DAYS IS WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:18:01.18\00:18:03.51
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IS THE
MARK OF THE BEAST OR THE
00:18:03.55\00:18:07.68
SEAL OF GOD A VISIBLE
MARK? NOW I THINK WE'VE
00:18:07.72\00:18:10.82
PROBABLY MADE THIS CLEAR.
WHAT DOES 'IN THE HAND' MEAN?
00:18:10.85\00:18:14.36
IN THE ACTIONS. IN
THE HEAD, IN THE THOUGHTS.
00:18:14.39\00:18:16.62
HERE ARE SOME VERSES: HEBREWS
10:16, "SAITH THE LORD, 'I WILL
00:18:16.66\00:18:20.63
PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS,
AND IN THEIR MINDS WILL I WRITE
00:18:20.66\00:18:23.33
THEM.'" IT GOES ON TO SAY,
IN ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSE 10,
00:18:23.37\00:18:28.77
"WHATEVER THY HAND FINDETH
TO DO, DO IT WITH THY MIGHT."
00:18:28.80\00:18:32.74
THAT'S SYMBOLIC. YOUR
HAND MEANS YOUR ACTIONS, RIGHT?
00:18:32.77\00:18:35.38
AND YOU CAN READ, AGAIN, IN
ISAIAH 59:6, "THEIR WORKS ARE
00:18:35.41\00:18:38.21
WORKS OF INIQUITY, AND THE ACT
OF VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR HANDS."
00:18:38.25\00:18:42.55
YOU DON'T HAVE THE WORD
'VIOLENCE' IN YOUR HANDS, IT'S
00:18:42.58\00:18:44.29
SOMETHING THAT
REPRESENTS THE ACTIONS.
00:18:44.32\00:18:46.76
SO, WHEN SOMEONE RECEIVES
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN THE
00:18:46.79\00:18:49.72
FOREHEAD, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT IN THEIR WORSHIP.
00:18:49.76\00:18:52.76
MAYBE THEY'RE SINCERE, BUT
THEY'LL BE WORSHIPING THE LAWS
00:18:52.79\00:18:55.33
OF THE BEAST
INSTEAD OF THE LAWS OF GOD.
00:18:55.36\00:18:58.47
AND MAYBE SOME WON'T
AGREE, BUT THEY'LL DO IT.
00:18:58.50\00:19:01.70
IT'S IN THEIR ACTIONS - IT'S
NOT IN THEIR HEART, BUT THEY'RE
00:19:01.74\00:19:03.91
STILL GOING TO
FOLLOW IT OUT OF FEAR.
00:19:03.94\00:19:06.37
SO, IT SAYS THE BEAST HAS A
MARK TO REPRESENT ITS POWER AND
00:19:06.41\00:19:10.58
AUTHORITY. DOES
GOD ALSO HAVE A SIGN
00:19:10.61\00:19:12.45
OF HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY? YES.
00:19:12.48\00:19:15.12
HE DOES, PRAISE THE LORD.
LOOK IN EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12.
00:19:15.15\00:19:18.85
"I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE
A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THAT
00:19:18.89\00:19:22.62
THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD THAT SANCTIFY THEM."
00:19:22.66\00:19:26.96
EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 20 - SIMILAR
VERSE - HE SAYS, "HALLOW MY
00:19:27.00\00:19:31.40
SABBATHS: AND THEY SHALL BE A
SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, THAT YE
00:19:31.43\00:19:34.70
MAY KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:19:34.74\00:19:37.44
IT'S A SIGN.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT
00:19:37.47\00:19:39.51
ABOUT THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT. GOD SAYS SO, AMEN?
00:19:39.54\00:19:42.14
IT'S A SYMBOL
OF WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:19:42.18\00:19:44.31
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S
EASIER TO GIVE A PERSON YOUR
00:19:44.35\00:19:46.35
MONEY THAN TO
GIVE THEM YOUR TIME.
00:19:46.38\00:19:49.75
GOD SAYS, 'DO YOU
REALLY WORSHIP ME?
00:19:49.78\00:19:51.85
IT'S NOT A DONATION, I WANT YOUR
LIFE, BECAUSE TIME IS THE STUFF
00:19:51.89\00:19:55.82
LIFE IS MADE OF.
I WANT YOUR LOVE.
00:19:55.86\00:19:57.66
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOVE
RELATIONSHIP UNLESS YOU SPEND
00:19:57.69\00:19:59.23
TIME WITH SOMEBODY. AMEN?
00:19:59.26\00:20:01.66
"VERILY MY SABBATHS YE SHALL
KEEP: FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.53
ME AND YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR
GENERATIONS: THAT YE MIGHT KNOW
00:20:04.57\00:20:08.10
THAT I AM THE LORD
THAT DOETH SANCTIFY YOU."
00:20:08.14\00:20:10.54
NOW, DO WE STILL NEED THE
SABBATH TO PROVE THAT HE CAN
00:20:10.57\00:20:13.11
CREATE AND RECREATE? DO
WE STILL NEED SANCTIFICATION?
00:20:13.14\00:20:17.58
AMEN. WHENEVER WE'RE PRAYING FOR
00:20:17.61\00:20:19.18
HOLINESS AND FORGIVENESS, THE
SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT GOD, IF
00:20:19.21\00:20:22.05
HE CAN SANCTIFY A
DAY, HE CAN SANCTIFY US.
00:20:22.08\00:20:24.79
WHAT DID THE ANTICHRIST
POWER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE?
00:20:24.82\00:20:28.56
DANIEL 7:25, "HE WILL
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS."
00:20:28.59\00:20:33.23
THERE'S ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT YOU CAN POINT TO THAT IS
00:20:33.26\00:20:35.33
BOTH A TIME AND A LAW.
NOW HERE - WE QUOTED THIS
00:20:35.36\00:20:39.93
TO YOU THE OTHER DAY.
"THE POPE HAS POWER TO CHANGE
00:20:39.97\00:20:42.37
TIMES TO ABROGATE LAWS, AND
TO DISPENSE WITH ALL THINGS,
00:20:42.40\00:20:45.87
EVEN THE PRECEPTS OF CHRIST."
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:20:45.91\00:20:50.71
AND THEN THEY FREELY ADMIT -
IT SAYS HERE - "OF COURSE THE
00:20:50.75\00:20:53.75
CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMS THAT THE
CHANGE WAS HER ACT...AND THE ACT
00:20:53.78\00:20:57.75
IS A MARK" - THIS IS A LETTER,
OCTOBER 28, 1895, FROM C.F.
00:20:57.79\00:21:03.02
THOMAS, WHO SERVED
UNDER CARDINAL GIBBONS.
00:21:03.06\00:21:06.66
AND THEY ADMIT, 'YEAH, WE
CHANGED THE SABBATH.' AND THEY
00:21:06.70\00:21:08.63
SAY, "THIS IS A MARK OF
HER ECCLESIASTICAL POWER AND
00:21:08.66\00:21:11.90
AUTHORITY IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS."
NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
00:21:11.93\00:21:14.74
NOTICED, ON THE RIGHT THERE'S
A COPY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:21:14.77\00:21:16.64
I TOOK IN FRONT
OF A CATHOLIC CHURCH.
00:21:16.67\00:21:18.41
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE SECOND
COMMANDMENT IS JUST NOT THERE -
00:21:18.44\00:21:21.18
AND THEY DIVIDE THE
TENTH COMMANDMENT IN TWO.
00:21:21.21\00:21:23.31
THEY TOOK OUT THE
COMMANDMENT ABOUT IDOLATRY.
00:21:23.35\00:21:26.01
THEY MAKE THE
SABBATH A THIRD COMMANDMENT.
00:21:26.05\00:21:28.35
IT SAYS, "THE HOLY SABBATH
DAY WAS CHANGED FROM SATURDAY TO
00:21:28.38\00:21:32.39
SUNDAY...NOT FROM ANY DIRECTIONS
NOTED IN THE SCRIPTURES.
00:21:32.42\00:21:35.99
BUT FROM THE CHURCH'S
SENSE OF ITS OWN POWER..."
00:21:36.02\00:21:39.36
- NOTICE THIS QUOTE - "PEOPLE
WHO THINK THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD
00:21:39.39\00:21:42.80
BE THE SOLE AUTHORITY, SHOULD
LOGICALLY BECOME SEVENTH-DAY
00:21:42.83\00:21:46.70
ADVENTISTS AND
KEEP SATURDAY HOLY."
00:21:46.74\00:21:48.54
THAT'S FROM ST. CATHERINE'S
CATHOLIC CHURCH, MAY 21, 1995 -
00:21:48.57\00:21:52.97
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THAT ENDORSEMENT.
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.91
(LAUGHTER) WE DIDN'T
WRITE THAT, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT.
00:21:54.94\00:21:59.88
THEY SAY, 'LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO GO BY THE BIBLE, YOU SHOULD
00:21:59.91\00:22:02.05
LOGICALLY BE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS.' THEY'RE KIND OF
00:22:02.08\00:22:03.95
MAKING FUN OF MOST CHRISTIANS
THAT DON'T REALLY GO BY THE TEN
00:22:03.99\00:22:07.52
COMMANDMENTS. THEY'RE
FOLLOWING A TRADITION.
00:22:07.56\00:22:10.66
PETER AND THE APOSTLES, THEY
SAID, "WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD" -
00:22:10.69\00:22:14.76
ACTS 5:29 - "RATHER
THAN MEN." THIS IS ALL ABOUT
00:22:14.83\00:22:17.37
'WHO IS YOUR GOD?'
YOU ARE THE SERVANTS
00:22:17.40\00:22:19.07
OF THE ONE YOU OBEY.
SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT WORSHIP.
00:22:19.10\00:22:21.27
THE BIG ISSUE IN THE
LAST DAYS IS WORSHIP.
00:22:21.30\00:22:23.44
THEY'RE BEING TOLD TO WORSHIP
THE BEAST OR WORSHIP JEHOVAH.
00:22:23.47\00:22:25.97
THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT
HOW HE HAS SPECIFIED WE SHOULD
00:22:26.01\00:22:28.68
WORSHIP. AND HE ILLUSTRATES THAT
00:22:28.71\00:22:31.08
IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. AMEN.
00:22:31.11\00:22:33.08
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT
JESUS AND TO FULLY FOLLOW HIM,
00:22:33.11\00:22:36.79
WHAT HAPPENS? CHRIST
SAID, "TAKE MY YOKE UPON
00:22:36.82\00:22:40.26
YOU, AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I
AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART, AND
00:22:40.29\00:22:44.73
YE SHALL FIND
REST UNTO YOUR SOULS."
00:22:44.76\00:22:47.60
THE LORD WANTS US
TO HAVE THAT REST.
00:22:47.60\00:22:49.60
WHO IS GOING TO
ENJOY THE REST IN HEAVEN?
00:22:49.63\00:22:52.50
YOU READ ABOUT IT IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 15 - WE LIKE TO START
00:22:52.53\00:22:55.50
AND END WITH REVELATION - IT
SAID, "I SAW SOMETHING LIKE A
00:22:55.54\00:22:58.51
SEA OF GLASS MINGLED WITH FIRE.
00:22:58.54\00:23:01.34
AND THOSE WHO HAVE THE VICTORY
OVER THE BEAST, OVER HIS IMAGE,
00:23:01.38\00:23:05.41
AND OVER HIS MARK AND OVER THE
NUMBER OF HIS NAME, STANDING ON
00:23:05.45\00:23:10.05
THE SEA OF GLASS,
HAVING HARPS OF GOD."
00:23:10.09\00:23:12.95
AND THERE THEY ARE, IN
HEAVEN, THEY ARE REDEEMED.
00:23:12.99\00:23:15.92
THEY ARE SAVED. THEY'VE GOT THAT
REST AND THEY'VE GOT THAT PEACE,
00:23:15.96\00:23:19.03
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE
TRUTH. THEY HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD
00:23:19.06\00:23:22.36
AND THEY HAVE TURNED
FROM THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:23:22.40\00:23:24.97
NOW, WHEN YOU TAKE A STAND
FOR TRUTH, FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT
00:23:25.00\00:23:27.80
EXPERIENCE SOME STRUGGLES - AND
JESUS NEVER SAID, 'FOLLOW ME AND
00:23:27.84\00:23:33.48
IT'S GOING TO BE EASY.' HE SAID,
'IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU NEED TO
00:23:33.51\00:23:37.05
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW
ME.' BUT THE PROMISE IS THAT
00:23:37.08\00:23:40.52
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE PEACE AND REST.
00:23:40.55\00:23:43.85
IF YOU SEEK TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
AND LIVE FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL
00:23:43.89\00:23:48.16
LOSE IT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO FIND
YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED TO SAY 'NO'
00:23:48.19\00:23:52.29
TO SELF AND 'YES' TO JESUS AND
THEN YOU HAVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:23:52.33\00:23:55.76
HE SAID, 'I'VE COME THAT I MIGHT
GIVE YOU LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.
00:23:55.80\00:23:58.63
AND SO, WHEN YOU LEARN THINGS
LIKE THIS ABOUT THE BEAST AND
00:23:58.67\00:24:01.87
THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THE
SABBATH TRUTH, DOES IT TROUBLE
00:24:01.90\00:24:04.84
YOU? WELL, IT MAY RIGHT NOW BUT,
00:24:04.87\00:24:06.88
ULTIMATELY, WHY DOES GOD
WANT YOU TO KNOW THESE THINGS?
00:24:06.91\00:24:09.74
IS THE SABBATH
CURSED OR BLESSED?
00:24:09.78\00:24:11.98
BLESSED. HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU.
00:24:12.01\00:24:14.78
SOME OF YOU HAVE NEVER
EXPERIENCED THAT BLESSING.
00:24:14.82\00:24:17.49
THERE ARE PEOPLE I KNOW
THAT ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
00:24:17.52\00:24:19.79
YOU'VE HEARD
THESE THINGS FOR YEARS.
00:24:19.82\00:24:21.19
YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:24:21.22\00:24:22.92
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU PLAN
ON DOING IT BUT, 'OH, PASTOR
00:24:22.96\00:24:25.29
DOUG, IF I DO IT NOW, YOU
KNOW, I'LL GET KICKED OUT OF MY
00:24:25.33\00:24:28.06
CHURCH.' OR 'IF I TAKE A STAND
FOR THIS NOW, MY FAMILY - WE'VE
00:24:28.10\00:24:30.97
BEEN IN THIS - THEY'RE GOING TO
DENOUNCE ME.' I KNOW PEOPLE THAT
00:24:31.00\00:24:34.44
WHEN THEY TOOK A STAND FOR THE
TRUTH, THEIR FAMILY SAID, 'DON'T
00:24:34.47\00:24:37.14
EVER TALK TO US AGAIN.' 'I'M
GOING TO LOSE MY JOB.' SHADRACH,
00:24:37.17\00:24:44.05
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WERE
WILLING TO LOSE THEIR JOB AND
00:24:44.08\00:24:46.55
THEIR LIVES. JESUS
SAID, 'IT'S NOT ME AND
00:24:46.58\00:24:51.22
SOMETHING ELSE,' HE SAID,
'IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME, YOU
00:24:51.25\00:24:53.96
MUST LOVE ME MORE - FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBAND, WIFE, HOUSES,
00:24:53.99\00:24:57.93
LANDS, EVERYTHING.' HE
NEEDS FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:24:57.96\00:25:01.33
AMEN. AND WHEN
YOU PUT HIM FIRST,
00:25:01.36\00:25:03.20
HE GIVES YOU EVERYTHING ELSE.
JESUS GOES ON AND HE SAYS, 'NO
00:25:03.23\00:25:06.50
MAN THAT HAS FORSAKEN FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBANDS, WIVES, HOUSES,
00:25:06.53\00:25:10.01
LANDS, FOR MY SAKE AND
THE GOSPEL, HE'LL RECEIVE A
00:25:10.04\00:25:12.94
HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
IN THIS LIFE.' AMEN.
00:25:12.97\00:25:17.05
YOU MAY HAVE PERSECUTION, BUT
HE GIVES YOU A HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
00:25:17.08\00:25:20.32
- AND ETERNAL LIFE
IN THE WORLD TO COME.
00:25:20.35\00:25:22.32
THERE'S GOING TO BE TRIALS.
THERE'LL BE CROSSES - LIFE IS
00:25:22.35\00:25:25.22
TOUGH, BUT IT'S A
LOT TOUGHER TO BE LOST.
00:25:25.25\00:25:28.02
IT'S A LOT TOUGHER TO NOT HAVE
GOD WALKING WITH YOU BECAUSE
00:25:28.06\00:25:32.46
YOU'RE REJECTING HIM - TO
HAVE NO PEACE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
00:25:32.49\00:25:36.26
AND SO, WE SHARE ALL THESE
THINGS - IT'S ALL ABOUT - IT'S
00:25:36.30\00:25:39.37
NOT JUST ABOUT ONE COMMANDMENT,
IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE HEART -
00:25:39.40\00:25:42.44
SURRENDERING YOUR HEARTS TO GOD.
HAVE YOU SAID, 'LORD, I WANT
00:25:42.47\00:25:47.68
YOU TO BE FIRST IN MY LIFE.
I'M WILLING TO SAY 'YES' TO YOU
00:25:47.71\00:25:51.51
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.' JESUS
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING 50/50 -
00:25:51.55\00:25:54.75
YOU AND THE WORLD - 50 PERCENT
WORLD/50 PERCENT ME' - HE SAID,
00:25:54.78\00:25:58.69
'YOU'RE EITHER
WITH ME OR AGAINST ME.'
