THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.90\00:00:05.53
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.57\00:00:07.27
IT SAYS IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6,
WHOEVER YOU OBEY, THAT'S WHOSE
00:00:14.84\00:00:17.45
SERVANT YOU ARE. SO,
YOU KNOW, TRYING TO ANALYZE
00:00:17.48\00:00:21.08
AND MELT DOWN AND BREAK DOWN
EXACTLY WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE
00:00:21.12\00:00:24.09
BEAST, IT'S NOT COMPLICATED,
IT'S WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:00:24.12\00:00:27.26
OUR STUDY, TODAY, IS
A VERY IMPORTANT ONE.
00:00:31.53\00:00:33.36
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS
WHO ARE WATCHING PROPHECY
00:00:33.40\00:00:35.13
ENCOUNTER - TALKING ABOUT A VERY
IMPORTANT AND INTENSE SUBJECT
00:00:35.16\00:00:40.30
CALLED THE MARK OF THE BEAST .
AND WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THAT, RIGHT
00:00:40.34\00:00:44.34
AWAY ALL KINDS OF
IMAGES COME INTO FOLKS' MINDS.
00:00:44.37\00:00:47.68
THEY WONDER, WHAT IS THIS?
IS THIS A COMPUTER CHIP UNDER
00:00:47.71\00:00:50.48
THE SKIN? IS IT
6-6-6 TATTOOED IN THE
00:00:50.51\00:00:53.48
FOREHEAD? IS IT A
SPECIAL SUPER CARD THAT
00:00:53.52\00:00:56.38
YOU CARRY IN YOUR PURSE OR YOUR
WALLET? AND WHAT IS THIS MARK?
00:00:56.42\00:01:02.36
IS IT SOMETHING PHYSICAL,
IS IT SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
00:01:02.39\00:01:05.39
WELL, WE'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:01:05.43\00:01:07.60
FIRST QUESTION: WHO IS PROTECTED
DURING THE SEVEN FINAL PLAGUES
00:01:07.66\00:01:12.40
THAT YOU FIND IN REVELATION?
THIS IS IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7
00:01:12.43\00:01:15.67
- IT SAYS THERE, "HURT NOT THE
EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE
00:01:15.70\00:01:19.67
TREES, TILL WE HAVE
SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
00:01:19.71\00:01:24.01
IN THEIR FOREHEADS."
THERE IS A GROUP THAT IS
00:01:24.05\00:01:26.18
PROTECTED AND THEY GET
A MARK IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
00:01:26.21\00:01:28.75
YOU MAY NOT HAVE CAUGHT THIS
EARLIER BUT, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
00:01:28.78\00:01:31.55
MARKED IN REVELATION? EVERYBODY.
00:01:31.59\00:01:37.33
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
ONE GROUP'S GOT THE MARK OF THE
00:01:37.36\00:01:40.60
BEAST AND ANOTHER
GROUP'S GOT THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:01:40.63\00:01:42.73
ONE'S GOT THE FATHER'S
NAME IN THE FOREHEAD - YOU GO TO
00:01:42.76\00:01:45.27
REVELATION 17, SHE'S GOT
A PARAGRAPH THAT CALLS HER A
00:01:45.30\00:01:47.84
HARLOT IN HER
FOREHEAD. WHAT WAS IT THAT
00:01:47.87\00:01:50.81
BROUGHT DOWN GOLIATH? A
STONE. WHERE? IN THE FOREHEAD.
00:01:50.84\00:01:57.68
THE WORD OF GOD - CHRIST IS THE
ROCK - THAT WORD OF GOD - TEN
00:01:57.71\00:02:01.78
COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN ON STONE
- IN THE FOREHEAD - BRINGS DOWN
00:02:01.82\00:02:04.39
THE DEVIL - JESUS FOUGHT THE
DEVIL IN THE WILDERNESS, 'IT IS
00:02:04.42\00:02:07.36
WRITTEN. IT IS WRITTEN.
00:02:07.39\00:02:08.69
IT IS WRITTEN.' AND
THE DEVIL FELL ON HIS FACE.
00:02:08.72\00:02:12.13
AND SO, GOLIATH, THAT
STORY IS EVEN A SYMBOL OF THAT.
00:02:12.16\00:02:14.73
WHAT IS THE SEAL THE RIGHTEOUS
RECEIVE IN THEIR FOREHEADS?
00:02:14.76\00:02:19.43
IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IN ISAIAH
8:16, "BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:02:19.47\00:02:24.04
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:02:24.07\00:02:27.58
SO THE LAW OF GOD
IS THE NEW COVENANT.
00:02:27.61\00:02:29.68
THY - 'HIS LAW HE WILL WRITE IN
OUR HEARTS.' AND IN THE HEART,
00:02:29.71\00:02:32.75
WHEN YOU SAY, 'THE HEART'
BIBLICALLY, YOU DON'T POINT
00:02:32.78\00:02:34.75
HERE. WHEN YOU SAY 'THE HEART'
00:02:34.78\00:02:36.45
BIBLICALLY, YOU POINT
HERE. 'AS A MAN THINKETH,
00:02:36.48\00:02:39.05
IN HIS HEART' - OKAY? SO
THE LAW OF GOD IS HERE IN THE
00:02:39.09\00:02:42.79
FOREHEAD, IN THE
HAND IS IN THE ACTIONS.
00:02:42.82\00:02:45.96
AND HE WANTS HIS LAW - NOW
EVERYBODY THAT HAS THE MARK OF
00:02:45.99\00:02:50.10
THE BEAST HAS WHOSE
SPIRIT? THE DEVIL'S SPIRIT.
00:02:50.13\00:02:54.24
EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE
SEAL OF GOD HAS WHOSE SPIRIT?
00:02:54.27\00:02:58.01
HAS GOD'S SPIRIT. SO WE
ALREADY KNOW THAT, AND WE
00:02:58.04\00:03:00.48
SHOWED YOU WHERE, IN
EPHESIANS, IT SAYS WE ARE SEALED
00:03:00.51\00:03:04.31
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT
THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPER IN
00:03:04.35\00:03:06.98
GOD'S LAW THAT
REVEALS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:03:07.02\00:03:10.29
NOW, LET'S REMIND YOU
WHAT HAS A BIBLICAL SEAL?
00:03:10.32\00:03:13.19
WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE AN OFFICIAL
00:03:13.22\00:03:15.22
SEAL TODAY -
THREE MAIN COMPONENTS.
00:03:15.26\00:03:18.19
IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE NAME OF
THE INDIVIDUAL, THEIR OFFICIAL
00:03:18.23\00:03:22.20
TITLE THAT GIVES THEM AUTHORITY,
AND THEN THEIR TERRITORY - YOU
00:03:22.23\00:03:26.37
KNOW, IT'S USUALLY
RESTRICTED TO SOME PLACE.
00:03:26.40\00:03:30.11
YOU CAN FIND THE SEAL OF GOD IN
THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, IN THE
00:03:30.14\00:03:34.24
COMMANDMENT THAT IS THE LONGEST,
AND THE ONE THAT BEGINS WITH THE
00:03:34.28\00:03:38.01
WORD 'REMEMBER', AND IT'S THE
ONLY COMMANDMENT WHERE YOU FIND
00:03:38.05\00:03:41.05
THE WORD 'HOLY', AND
IT'S THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:03:41.08\00:03:45.72
IT TALKS ABOUT OUR TIME - GIVING
OUR TIME - GIVING OUR WORSHIP TO
00:03:45.75\00:03:49.39
GOD. HE MADE AN
APPOINTMENT WITH US.
00:03:49.42\00:03:51.86
HE'S SO IMPORTANT TO US, WE WILL
KEEP THAT SACRED APPOINTMENT
00:03:51.89\00:03:54.23
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND WE WANT
TO NURTURE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
00:03:54.30\00:03:58.13
SO WHICH OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
HAS THAT SEAL - THE COMPONENTS
00:03:58.17\00:04:01.64
OF A SEAL IN IT?
FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:04:01.67\00:04:04.81
LET'S LOOK AT IT - EXODUS 20,
VERSE 11, "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE
00:04:04.84\00:04:08.74
LORD MADE" - THAT'S HIS NAME,
THE LORD - "MADE" - CREATOR -
00:04:08.78\00:04:12.45
HERE'S HIS TERRITORY -
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
00:04:12.48\00:04:14.65
IS ANYTHING NOT INCLUDED
IN THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH?
00:04:14.68\00:04:17.29
'CAUSE HE'S THE LORD OF ALL.
HE IS JEHOVAH, THE CREATOR AND
00:04:17.32\00:04:22.86
SUSTAINER OF THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:04:22.89\00:04:25.56
THE SEAL OF GOD IS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LAW OF GOD AND THAT LAW
00:04:25.59\00:04:28.66
SHOULD BE IN OUR
HEARTS AND IN OUR MINDS.
00:04:28.70\00:04:31.00
I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS
STUDY REAL EASY FOR YOU.
00:04:31.03\00:04:33.74
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IT
SAYS, IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6,
00:04:33.77\00:04:39.61
WHOEVER YOU OBEY,
THAT'S WHOSE SERVANT YOU ARE.
00:04:39.64\00:04:43.14
SO, TRYING TO ANALYZE AND MELT
DOWN AND BREAK DOWN EXACTLY WHAT
00:04:43.18\00:04:47.42
IS THE MARK OF THE
BEAST? IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
00:04:47.45\00:04:50.29
IT'S WHO DO YOU
WORSHIP? NOW, HOW DID THE EARLY
00:04:50.32\00:04:53.29
PROTESTANTS IDENTIFY THE
BEAST? WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
00:04:53.32\00:04:55.86
A LITTLE CHURCH HISTORY.
WHAT IS IT THAT DISTINGUISHES
00:04:55.89\00:04:58.29
PROTESTANTS FROM CATHOLICS? OF
COURSE, PROTESTANTS PROTESTED.
00:04:58.33\00:05:01.30
MARTIN LUTHER WAS THE ONE
WHO NAILED - BY THE WAY, WE'RE,
00:05:01.33\00:05:04.60
RIGHT NOW, IN THAT 500-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY FOR MARTIN LUTHER
00:05:04.63\00:05:08.44
NAILING HIS PROTESTS ON
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH IN
00:05:08.47\00:05:11.47
WITTENBERG AND ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MOST PROTESTANTS HELD IN
00:05:11.51\00:05:15.41
COMMON WAS THEY WERE ALL
UNITEDLY AGREED OF WHO THE
00:05:15.44\00:05:20.98
ANTICHRIST POWER WAS
IDENTIFIED THERE IN DANIEL 7, IN
00:05:21.02\00:05:25.49
2 THESSALONIANS, IN REVELATION
13 - AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ
00:05:25.52\00:05:29.22
SOME QUOTES NOW, SO PUT ON YOUR
SEAT BELT. BEFORE I READ THESE
00:05:29.26\00:05:31.59
TO YOU, I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY
CLEAR THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD,
00:05:31.63\00:05:37.20
LOVING, CHRISTIAN PEOPLE
IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
00:05:37.23\00:05:40.87
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY
INDIVIDUALS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:05:40.90\00:05:43.54
THE OFFICIAL POSITIONS THAT
THEY HOLD AND THE - HOW THEY
00:05:43.57\00:05:48.88
INTERPRET THE PLACE OF GOD
IN THE SCRIPTURES IN SALVATION.
00:05:48.91\00:05:53.08
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST AN
ANALYTICAL STUDY, BUT HERE'S
00:05:53.11\00:05:55.72
WHAT THEY SAID. JOHN
WYCLIFFE, HE WAS CALLED THE
00:05:55.75\00:05:59.35
STAR OF THE
REFORMATION - THE MORNING STAR.
00:05:59.39\00:06:02.19
HE'S THE ONE WHO TRANSLATED
THE BIBLE FIRST INTO ENGLISH.
00:06:02.22\00:06:05.26
I'VE BEEN TO
ENGLAND AND SEEN IT THERE.
00:06:05.29\00:06:07.50
HE SAID, "WE SUPPOSE THAT
ANTICHRIST, THE HEAD OF ALL
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.63
THESE EVIL MEN,
IS THE POPE OF ROME."
00:06:10.67\00:06:12.77
BY THE WAY, WHAT
CHURCH DID HE BELONG TO?
00:06:12.80\00:06:15.24
CATHOLIC CHURCH. SO
HERE YOU HAVE A CATHOLIC
00:06:15.27\00:06:19.27
SCHOLAR WHO IS SAYING
IT'S THE POPE OF ROME.
00:06:19.31\00:06:23.24
AGAIN, JOHN HUSS, HE SAID, "THE
POPE IS THE TRUE ANTICHRIST OF
00:06:23.28\00:06:28.32
WHOM IT IS WRITTEN THAT HE SITS
IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AMONG THE
00:06:28.35\00:06:32.85
PEOPLE WHERE
CHRIST IS WORSHIPED."
00:06:32.89\00:06:35.42
MARTIN LUTHER, "THIS TEACHING
[OF THE SUPREMACY OF THE POPE]
00:06:35.46\00:06:38.49
SHOWS FORCEFULLY THAT THE
POPE IS THE VERY ANTICHRIST."
00:06:38.53\00:06:41.63
- THEY DIDN'T
MINCE WORDS, DID THEY?
00:06:41.66\00:06:43.47
- "WHO HAS EXALTED HIMSELF
ABOVE, AND OPPOSED HIMSELF
00:06:43.50\00:06:46.70
AGAINST CHRIST." HERE
YOU'VE GOT CALVIN, "DANIEL
00:06:46.74\00:06:50.11
AND PAUL HAD PREDICTED
THAT ANTICHRIST WOULD SIT IN THE
00:06:50.14\00:06:53.68
TEMPLE OF GOD...WE
AFFIRM HIM TO BE THE POPE."
00:06:53.71\00:06:57.55
SO IF YOU'VE GOT ANY BAPTIST
ROOTS OR CALVINISTIC TEACHINGS -
00:06:57.58\00:07:01.28
IT'S WHAT CALVIN BELIEVED, IT'S
WHAT LUTHER BELIEVED - JOHN KNOX
00:07:01.32\00:07:04.69
- PRESBYTERIAN, "YEA, WE DOUBT
NOT TO PROVE THE KINGDOM OF THE
00:07:04.72\00:07:08.46
POPE TO BE THE KINGDOM
AND POWER OF ANTICHRIST."
00:07:08.49\00:07:11.96
ROGER WILLIAMS - IN AMERICA
WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND
00:07:11.99\00:07:15.46
STATE LARGELY BECAUSE OF ROGER
WILLIAMS. WILLIAMS HAD A VERY
00:07:15.50\00:07:19.20
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING.
HE SAID, 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:07:19.23\00:07:22.10
ARE ON TWO TABLES OF STONE.
ONE IS CIVIL IN NATURE AND ONE
00:07:22.14\00:07:27.88
IS MORE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE.'
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS DEAL
00:07:27.91\00:07:31.18
WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
NO GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA SHOULD
00:07:31.21\00:07:34.78
FORCE PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS.
00:07:34.82\00:07:38.22
YOU DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT
TELLING YOU WHAT GOD TO WORSHIP
00:07:38.25\00:07:40.06
OR WHEN TO WORSHIP HIM OR
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, RIGHT?
00:07:40.09\00:07:44.29
HE SAID, 'BUT NO GOVERNMENT
CAN NEGLECT THE LAST SIX
00:07:44.33\00:07:47.13
COMMANDMENTS: RESPECT OF
PROPERTY, RESPECT OF MARRIAGE,
00:07:47.20\00:07:51.10
RESPECT OF PARENTS - AND THAT
WAS A VERY BALANCED APPROACH.
00:07:51.13\00:07:56.14
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID: 'PASTOR
WILLIAMS SPOKE OF THE POPE AS
00:07:56.17\00:07:59.34
THE PRETENDED VICAR OF CHRIST ON
EARTH WHO SITS AS GOD OVER THE
00:07:59.37\00:08:03.21
TEMPLE OF GOD, EXALTING HIMSELF
NOT ONLY ABOVE ALL THAT IS
00:08:03.24\00:08:06.21
CALLED GOD BUT OVER ALL THE
SOULS AND CONSCIENCES OF ALL HIS
00:08:06.25\00:08:09.82
VASSALS, YEA OVER THE SPIRIT
OF CHRIST.' IT SAYS JOHN WESLEY
00:08:09.85\00:08:13.19
SAID, "HE IT IS...THAT EXALTETH
HIMSELF ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED
00:08:13.22\00:08:17.49
GOD, OR THAT IS
WORSHIPPED...CLAIMING THE
00:08:17.53\00:08:20.13
HIGHEST POWER AND
HIGHEST HONOR...CLAIMING THE
00:08:20.16\00:08:22.80
PREROGATIVES WHICH
BELONG TO GOD ALONE."
00:08:22.83\00:08:25.83
IF YOU READ THE WESTMINSTER
CONFESSION - MANY PROTESTANTS
00:08:25.87\00:08:29.40
ASCRIBE TO THIS - THERE - YOU
USED TO BE ABLE TO READ, "THERE
00:08:29.44\00:08:33.14
IS NO OTHER HEAD OF THE CHURCH
BUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOR
00:08:33.17\00:08:37.11
CAN THE POPE OF ROME IN ANY
SENSE BE HEAD THEREOF: BUT IS
00:08:37.15\00:08:41.35
THAT ANTICHRIST." (WHISTLES) I
MEAN, THIS IS - THIS IS HISTORY.
00:08:41.38\00:08:45.92
AT LEAST YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF
TO KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE -
00:08:45.95\00:08:48.92
"THAT MAN OF SIN AND SON OF
PERDITION THAT EXALTETH HIMSELF
00:08:48.96\00:08:51.56
IN THE CHURCH AGAINST CHRIST
AND ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD."
00:08:51.59\00:08:55.90
IN THE BOOK ALL ROADS LEAD
TO ROME - "A GREAT CLOUD OF
00:08:55.93\00:09:00.54
WITNESSES:" - LISTEN TO THESE
NAMES - "WYCLIFFE, TYNDALE,
00:09:00.57\00:09:04.57
LUTHER, CALVIN, CRANMER; IN
THE SEVENTH CENTURY, BUNYAN."
00:09:04.61\00:09:09.21
- YOU'VE READ PILGRIM'S
PROGRESS , THIS WAS THE VIEW OF
00:09:09.24\00:09:12.08
THE AUTHOR OF PILGRIM'S
PROGRESS - "THE TRANSLATORS OF
00:09:12.11\00:09:14.88
THE KING JAMES BIBLE" -
UNIFORMLY BELIEVED THIS -
00:09:14.92\00:09:20.42
"AND THE MEN WHO
PUBLISHED THE WESTMINSTER AND
00:09:20.46\00:09:22.76
BAPTIST CONFESSIONS OF FAITH :"
- I JUST READ YOU ONE OF THOSE -
00:09:22.79\00:09:25.43
"ISAAC NEWTON" - YOU
EVER HEARD THAT NAME?
00:09:25.46\00:09:27.93
HE WAS ALSO QUITE A
BIBLE SCHOLAR - "[JOHN] WESLEY,
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.23
WHITFIELD, JONATHAN EDWARDS;
AND MORE RECENTLY, SPURGEON."
00:09:30.27\00:09:34.50
- THE PRINCE OF
PREACHERS - "BISHOP J.C.
00:09:34.54\00:09:36.81
RYLE AND DR. MARTIN LLOYD-JONES;
THESE MEN AMONG COUNTLESS
00:09:36.84\00:09:41.14
OTHERS, ALL SAW THE OFFICE OF
THE PAPACY AS THE ANTICHRIST."
00:09:41.18\00:09:45.41
THEY SAID, 'IF YOU'RE GOING
TO READ THE BIBLE AND STUDY
00:09:45.45\00:09:47.28
PROPHECY, IT'S INESCAPABLE.'
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS CERTAINLY
00:09:47.32\00:09:50.25
NOT POLITICALLY
CORRECT TO SAY THAT, IS IT?
00:09:50.29\00:09:54.49
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT
A POPE, NOW, WHO'S SO NICE.
00:09:54.52\00:09:57.09
HE SEEMS LIKE SUCH A NICE,
HUMBLE MAN AND HE SEEMS TO BE
00:09:57.13\00:10:01.46
JUST, YOU KNOW, HE'S PUTTING OFF
A LOT OF THE FANFARE AND WEALTH
00:10:01.50\00:10:04.90
OF PREVIOUS POPES AND HE'S
APOLOGIZING FOR PAST HISTORY AND
00:10:04.93\00:10:09.00
SO IT'S NOT VERY POLITICALLY
CORRECT, BUT AT LEAST YOU SHOULD
00:10:09.04\00:10:11.71
KNOW THIS WAS THE POSITION
OF PROTESTANTS FOR FIVE HUNDRED
00:10:11.74\00:10:15.04
YEARS - FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY.
00:10:15.08\00:10:16.64
YOU DON'T HEAR MUCH ABOUT IT
IN THE LAST FIFTY YEARS OR SO.
00:10:16.68\00:10:20.62
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
IN JUST A MOMENT WE'LL RETURN
00:10:21.42\00:10:24.09
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:10:24.12\00:10:26.99
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS
PROBABLY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL
00:10:27.02\00:10:30.36
AND FEARED SUBJECTS
FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:10:30.39\00:10:33.56
SOME SAY IT'S A NUMBER TATTOOED
ON OUR FOREHEADS OR A COMPUTER

00:11:31.49\00:11:34.36
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:34.39\00:11:36.66
SO WHAT IS THE MYSTERIOUS
00:11:38.53\00:11:39.83
NUMBER THAT
IDENTIFIES THE BEAST?
00:11:39.86\00:11:42.73
THIS NUMBER IS -
YOU ALL KNOW IT - 6-6-6.
00:11:42.76\00:11:48.44
HERE'S A PICTURE OF A FLORIDA
STATE TROOPER - 6-6-6 ON HIS
00:11:48.47\00:11:52.37
LICENSE PLATE
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:11:52.41\00:11:57.61
SEE, YOU ALL LAUGH.
EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S
00:11:57.65\00:11:59.31
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
I WAS GETTING CHANGE AT A STORE
00:11:59.35\00:12:02.72
ONE TIME AND, I FORGET WHAT I
BOUGHT, BUT IT CAME BACK AND MY
00:12:02.75\00:12:05.45
CHANGE WAS - ALL THE THINGS
I BOUGHT CAME UP TO $6.66 - AND
00:12:05.49\00:12:10.03
THE CASHIER - THE GAL - SAID,
'OOH, LOOK AT THAT, 6-6-6.' AND
00:12:10.06\00:12:14.40
I SAID, 'YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.' I
SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?'
00:12:14.46\00:12:18.23
SHE SAID, 'NO, BUT IT'S BAD.'
(LAUGHTER) AND EVERYONE KIND OF
00:12:18.27\00:12:23.30
KNOWS THAT. THEY
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
00:12:23.34\00:12:25.84
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT IS
AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:12:25.87\00:12:27.64
IF YOU READ IN THE DOCUMENT,
PROMPTA BIBLIOTHECA , ACCORDING
00:12:27.68\00:12:32.45
TO THE 1913 CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA - THIS IS A
00:12:32.48\00:12:35.45
VERITABLE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND WILL
00:12:35.48\00:12:38.99
REMAIN A PRECIOUS
MINE OF INFORMATION.
00:12:39.02\00:12:42.26
THIS BOOK IS QUOTED FREQUENTLY
AS AN AUTHORITATIVE CATHOLIC
00:12:42.29\00:12:45.63
SOURCE. HERE'S
WHAT IT SAYS: UNDER THE
00:12:45.66\00:12:47.83
HEADING 'PAPA VICARIUS FILII
DEI APPEARS AS THE TITLE FOR THE
00:12:47.86\00:12:53.80
POPE.' THAT IS ONE OF THE
OFFICIAL TITLES OF THE POPE.
00:12:53.84\00:12:57.64
NOW, I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE THOSE LATIN WORDS.
00:12:57.67\00:12:59.61
"THE LETTERS ON THE POPE'S CROWN
ARE THESE: VICARIUS FILII DEI:
00:12:59.64\00:13:03.98
WHICH IS LATIN FOR 'VICAR OF THE
SON OF GOD.'" - REPRESENTATIVE
00:13:04.01\00:13:07.92
OF THE SON OF GOD - JESUS
SAID, 'THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.65
REPRESENTATIVE.' WHEN YOU ADD
THOSE WORDS UP - HOW MANY OF YOU
00:13:10.69\00:13:17.69
REMEMBER YOUR ROMAN
NUMERALS FROM SCHOOL?
00:13:17.73\00:13:20.86
AND THE V IS? FIVE.
00:13:20.90\00:13:23.16
FIVE. EVERY NOW
AND THEN YOU'LL STILL
00:13:23.20\00:13:24.50
SEE SOMETHING WHERE THEY'RE
USING THE OLD LATIN NUMERALS.
00:13:24.53\00:13:28.40
THE LETTERS HAD NUMERICAL VALUE
- NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT SOME OF
00:13:28.44\00:13:32.11
THEM HAD NUMERICAL VALUE.
THAT TITLE, WHEN YOU VERY SIMPLY
00:13:32.14\00:13:35.58
ADD UP THE VERY REAL VALUE OF
THOSE NUMBERS, VICARIUS ADDS UP
00:13:35.61\00:13:39.35
TO 112, FILII ADDS UP
TO 53, AND DEI IS 501.
00:13:39.38\00:13:47.09
AND YOU ADD THOSE UP
AND THAT COMES TO 666.
00:13:47.12\00:13:50.13
NOW, YOU KNOW, ABOVE THE HEAD
OF THE HIGH PRIEST, HE HAD A
00:13:50.16\00:13:53.80
PLACARD. THE PLACARD
SAID, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD'.
00:13:53.83\00:13:57.77
IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU, THE
WORD 'HOLY IS IN THE SABBATH
00:13:57.80\00:13:59.43
COMMANDMENT. HOLY IS THE
SEAL OF GOD - HOLY SPIRIT.
00:13:59.47\00:14:03.17
WHEN JESUS DIED, ABOVE HIS HEAD
IT SAID, 'KING OF THE JEWS'.
00:14:03.20\00:14:06.84
AND HERE, AT LEAST ON SOME
OCCASIONS, THE POPE USED TO WEAR
00:14:06.88\00:14:09.08
A CROWN THAT SAID,
'VICARIUS FILII DEI' - 'I AM THE
00:14:09.11\00:14:12.11
REPRESENTATIVE OF
GOD'. NOW, AGAIN, I WANT TO
00:14:12.15\00:14:14.18
MAKE SURE AND BE FAIR.
HERE'S JUST - THIS IS JUST
00:14:14.22\00:14:16.75
POPE BENEDICT A FEW YEARS
AGO. HE ALMOST NEVER APPEARED
00:14:16.79\00:14:19.99
WITH THE SAME CROWN ON.
HE LIKED TO CHANGE CLOTHES.
00:14:20.02\00:14:22.49
HE WAS A LITTLE MORE
FLAMBOYANT THAT POPE FRANCIS.
00:14:22.52\00:14:25.33
NOW, THE THIRD CROWN THAT YOU
SEE HIM WEARING THERE, ON THE
00:14:25.36\00:14:27.93
RIGHT, MOST OF THE PAPAL CROWNS
USED TO HAVE THREE CROWNS, AND
00:14:27.96\00:14:32.30
THAT MEANT BECAUSE HE WAS KING
OF HEAVEN, KING OF EARTH, AND
00:14:32.33\00:14:34.24
KING OF PURGATORY. THE
TRIPLE-TIERED CROWN - ONLY
00:14:34.27\00:14:37.57
THE POPE WAS
ALLOWED TO WEAR BACK THEN.
00:14:37.61\00:14:39.87
SOME OF THOSE ANCIENT CROWNS DID
HAVE THAT PLACARD ON IT THAT HAD
00:14:39.91\00:14:43.08
THE OFFICIAL TITLE. BUT,
IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE
00:14:43.11\00:14:45.35
THAT, MAYBE YOU'LL BELIEVE
THE BOOK BY JOHN PAUL II, CALLED
00:14:45.38\00:14:49.18
ON THE THRESHOLD OF HOPE .
"THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC
00:14:49.22\00:14:52.62
CHURCH" - AND THIS IS PAGE 3 -
"IS DEFINED BY THE FAITH AS THE
00:14:52.65\00:14:56.12
VICAR OF JESUS CHRIST (AND IS
ACCEPTED AS SUCH BY BELIEVERS).
00:14:56.16\00:15:00.43
THE POPE IS CONSIDERED THE MAN
ON EARTH WHO REPRESENTS THE SON
00:15:00.46\00:15:04.83
OF GOD, WHO TAKES THE PLACE
OF THE SECOND PERSON OF THE
00:15:04.87\00:15:09.60
OMNIPOTENT GOD OF THE TRINITY."
TAKES THE PLACE OF - AND HE'S
00:15:09.64\00:15:16.31
THE VICAR FOR THE SON OF
GOD. THAT'S WHAT VICARIUS
00:15:16.34\00:15:19.35
FILII DEI REPRESENTS.
SO WHAT IS THE BEAST'S
00:15:19.38\00:15:23.18
MARK OF AUTHORITY?
NOW WE'RE GETTING MORE
00:15:23.22\00:15:25.62
SPECIFICALLY INTO THE MARK.
WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE SEAL OF
00:15:25.65\00:15:27.82
GOD IS IN THE LAW -
IT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:15:27.86\00:15:31.16
AND, IN PARTICULAR, THE
SABBATH REPRESENTS THAT.
00:15:31.19\00:15:33.93
NOW I'M GOING TO READ TO
YOU FROM THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM.
00:15:33.96\00:15:36.56
CATECHISM USES
QUESTION AND ANSWER METHOD.
00:15:36.60\00:15:40.54
AND, WHEN YOU'RE - THIS IS
WRITTEN BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
00:15:40.57\00:15:42.97
WHEN YOU'RE
TEACHING. QUESTION: WHICH DAY
00:15:43.00\00:15:45.37
IS THE SABBATH DAY?
ANSWER: SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH
00:15:45.41\00:15:49.38
DAY - WHICH BEGS THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHY DO WE OBSERVE
00:15:49.41\00:15:53.55
SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?
ANSWER: WE OBSERVE SUNDAY
00:15:53.58\00:15:57.95
INSTEAD OF SATURDAY BECAUSE
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSFERRED
00:15:57.99\00:16:01.92
THE SOLEMNITY FROM
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY.
00:16:01.96\00:16:06.73
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED, IT WASN'T DONE BY
00:16:06.76\00:16:08.70
JESUS; IT WASN'T DONE BY THE
APOSTLES; IT HAPPENED HUNDREDS
00:16:08.73\00:16:11.77
OF YEARS LATER. IT
HAPPENED GRADUALLY.
00:16:11.80\00:16:14.14
PART OF THE REASON WAS BECAUSE,
WHEN THE ROMANS BEGAN TO FIGHT
00:16:14.17\00:16:18.37
AGAINST THE JEWS AND THEY
CONQUERED ISRAEL AGAIN - THEY
00:16:18.41\00:16:21.78
DESTROYED THE CITY - THE JEWS
BECAME - THEY FELL OUT OF FAVOR
00:16:21.81\00:16:26.08
IN ROME AND THEY ASSOCIATED
CHRISTIANITY WITH JUDAISM.
00:16:26.11\00:16:30.82
WELL, THE CHRISTIANS WANTED
TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE
00:16:30.85\00:16:33.02
JEWS AND, FOLLOWING THE
CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE, THEY
00:16:33.05\00:16:36.12
SAID, 'LOOK, WHY DON'T WE
JUST KEEP THE DAY THE PAGANS ARE
00:16:36.16\00:16:38.26
KEEPING? THE FIRST DAY - THE DAY
OF THE SUN' - BECAUSE THAT WAS
00:16:38.29\00:16:41.13
ALL ABOUT SUN WORSHIP - AND IT'S
THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION.
00:16:41.16\00:16:45.40
AND THE CHURCH LEADERS BEGAN
TO ARGUE IT, BUT THERE WAS NO
00:16:45.43\00:16:47.57
SCRIPTURE FOR IT. IT
WAS A MAN-MADE LAW AND JESUS
00:16:47.60\00:16:51.61
SAID, 'WHY DO YOU KEEP THE
TRADITIONS OF MEN AND PUT THE
00:16:51.64\00:16:54.14
COMMANDMENT OF GOD ASIDE?
SO IN THE LAST DAYS GOD IS
00:16:54.18\00:16:57.61
CALLING PEOPLE BACK TO THE WORD
- NOT JUST ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:16:57.65\00:17:00.68
SABBATH TRUTH,
BUT A NUMBER OF AREAS.
00:17:00.72\00:17:03.28
LET ME FINISH THIS QUOTE HERE,
IT SAYS, HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY
00:17:03.32\00:17:07.16
- QUESTION - HAVE YOU ANY OTHER
WAY OF PROVING THAT THE CHURCH
00:17:07.19\00:17:10.19
HAS POWER TO
INSTITUTE FESTIVALS OF PRECEPT?
00:17:10.23\00:17:14.36
AND THE ANSWER IS, YES, HAD
SHE NOT SUCH POWER SHE COULD NOT
00:17:14.36\00:17:18.83
HAVE DONE THAT IN WHICH ALL
MODERN RELIGIONISTS AGREE WITH
00:17:18.87\00:17:22.30
HER - NOT ALL, BUT MANY - SHE
COULD NOT HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE
00:17:22.34\00:17:26.27
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY THE FIRST
DAY OF THE WEEK FOR SATURDAY THE
00:17:26.31\00:17:31.05
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK - FOR
THE OBSERVANCE OF SATURDAY THE
00:17:31.08\00:17:34.88
SEVENTH DAY, A CHANGE FOR
WHICH THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL
00:17:34.92\00:17:38.85
AUTHORITY. RIGHT IN
THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM
00:17:38.89\00:17:41.52
THEY WILL FREELY ADMIT
THIS IS NOT BIBLE-BASED.
00:17:41.56\00:17:44.79
WE DID IT BY A SENSE
OF OUR OWN AUTHORITY.
00:17:44.83\00:17:48.26
AND THEY CLAIM THAT WHAT THE
CHURCH SAYS AND WHAT THE POPE
00:17:48.30\00:17:51.63
SAYS IS MORE VALUABLE THAN WHAT
JESUS SAID - WHAT GOD SPOKE FROM
00:17:51.67\00:17:55.20
THE MOUNTAIN; WHAT THE
LORD WROTE WITH HIS FINGER -
00:17:55.24\00:17:57.41
I RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE. THIS IS AN ISSUE.
00:17:57.44\00:18:01.34
BOTTOM LINE IN THE LAST
DAYS IS WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:18:01.38\00:18:03.71
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IS THE
MARK OF THE BEAST OR THE
00:18:03.75\00:18:07.88
SEAL OF GOD A VISIBLE
MARK? NOW I THINK WE'VE
00:18:07.92\00:18:11.02
PROBABLY MADE THIS CLEAR.
WHAT DOES 'IN THE HAND' MEAN?
00:18:11.05\00:18:14.56
IN THE ACTIONS. IN
THE HEAD, IN THE THOUGHTS.
00:18:14.59\00:18:16.83
HERE ARE SOME VERSES: HEBREWS
10:16, "SAITH THE LORD, 'I WILL
00:18:16.86\00:18:20.83
PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS,
AND IN THEIR MINDS WILL I WRITE
00:18:20.86\00:18:23.53
THEM.'" IT GOES ON TO SAY,
IN ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSE 10,
00:18:23.57\00:18:28.97
"WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS
TO DO, DO IT WITH YOUR MIGHT."
00:18:29.00\00:18:32.94
THAT'S SYMBOLIC. YOUR
HAND MEANS YOUR ACTIONS, RIGHT?
00:18:32.97\00:18:35.58
AND YOU CAN READ, AGAIN, IN
ISAIAH 59:6, "THEIR WORKS ARE
00:18:35.61\00:18:38.41
WORKS OF INIQUITY, AND THE ACT
OF VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR HANDS."
00:18:38.45\00:18:42.75
YOU DON'T HAVE THE WORD
'VIOLENCE' IN YOUR HANDS, IT'S
00:18:42.78\00:18:44.49
SOMETHING THAT
REPRESENTS THE ACTIONS.
00:18:44.52\00:18:46.96
SO, WHEN SOMEONE RECEIVES
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN THE
00:18:46.99\00:18:49.92
FOREHEAD, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT IN THEIR WORSHIP.
00:18:49.96\00:18:52.96
MAYBE THEY'RE SINCERE, BUT
THEY'LL BE WORSHIPING THE LAWS
00:18:52.99\00:18:55.53
OF THE BEAST
INSTEAD OF THE LAWS OF GOD.
00:18:55.56\00:18:58.67
AND MAYBE SOME WON'T
AGREE, BUT THEY'LL DO IT.
00:18:58.70\00:19:01.90
IT'S IN THEIR ACTIONS - IT'S
NOT IN THEIR HEART, BUT THEY'RE
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.11
STILL GOING TO
FOLLOW IT OUT OF FEAR.
00:19:04.14\00:19:06.57
SO, IT SAYS THE BEAST HAS A
MARK TO REPRESENT ITS POWER AND
00:19:06.61\00:19:10.78
AUTHORITY. DOES
GOD ALSO HAVE A SIGN
00:19:10.81\00:19:12.65
OF HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY? YES.
00:19:12.68\00:19:15.32
HE DOES, PRAISE THE LORD.
LOOK IN EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12.
00:19:15.35\00:19:19.05
"I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE
A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THAT
00:19:19.09\00:19:22.82
THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE
LORD THAT DOES SANCTIFY THEM."
00:19:22.86\00:19:27.13
EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 20 - SIMILAR
VERSE - HE SAYS, "HALLOW MY
00:19:27.20\00:19:31.60
SABBATHS: AND THEY WILL BE A
SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, THAT
00:19:31.63\00:19:34.90
YOU MAY KNOW THAT I
AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:19:34.94\00:19:37.64
IT'S A SIGN.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT
00:19:37.67\00:19:39.71
ABOUT THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT. GOD SAYS SO, AMEN?
00:19:39.74\00:19:42.34
IT'S A SYMBOL
OF WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:19:42.38\00:19:44.51
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S
EASIER TO GIVE A PERSON YOUR
00:19:44.55\00:19:46.55
MONEY THAN TO
GIVE THEM YOUR TIME.
00:19:46.58\00:19:49.95
GOD SAYS, 'DO YOU
REALLY WORSHIP ME?
00:19:49.98\00:19:52.05
IT'S NOT A DONATION, I WANT YOUR
LIFE, BECAUSE TIME IS THE STUFF
00:19:52.09\00:19:56.02
LIFE IS MADE OF.
I WANT YOUR LOVE.
00:19:56.06\00:19:57.86
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOVE
RELATIONSHIP UNLESS YOU SPEND
00:19:57.89\00:19:59.43
TIME WITH SOMEBODY. AMEN?
00:19:59.46\00:20:01.86
"VERILY MY SABBATHS YE SHALL
KEEP: FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN
00:20:01.90\00:20:04.73
ME AND YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR
GENERATIONS: THAT YE MIGHT KNOW
00:20:04.77\00:20:08.30
THAT I AM THE LORD
THAT DOETH SANCTIFY YOU."
00:20:08.34\00:20:10.74
NOW, DO WE STILL NEED THE
SABBATH TO PROVE THAT HE CAN
00:20:10.77\00:20:13.31
CREATE AND RECREATE? DO
WE STILL NEED SANCTIFICATION?
00:20:13.34\00:20:17.78
AMEN. WHENEVER WE'RE PRAYING FOR
00:20:17.81\00:20:19.38
HOLINESS AND FORGIVENESS, THE
SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT GOD, IF
00:20:19.41\00:20:22.25
HE CAN SANCTIFY A
DAY, HE CAN SANCTIFY US.
00:20:22.28\00:20:24.99
WHAT DID THE ANTICHRIST
POWER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE?
00:20:25.02\00:20:28.76
DANIEL 7:25, "HE WILL
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS."
00:20:28.79\00:20:33.43
THERE'S ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT YOU CAN POINT TO THAT IS
00:20:33.46\00:20:35.53
BOTH A TIME AND A LAW.
NOW HERE - WE QUOTED THIS
00:20:35.56\00:20:40.14
TO YOU THE OTHER DAY.
"THE POPE HAS POWER TO CHANGE
00:20:40.17\00:20:42.57
TIMES TO ABROGATE LAWS, AND
TO DISPENSE WITH ALL THINGS,
00:20:42.60\00:20:46.07
EVEN THE PRECEPTS OF CHRIST."
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:20:46.11\00:20:50.91
AND THEN THEY FREELY ADMIT -
IT SAYS HERE - "OF COURSE THE
00:20:50.95\00:20:53.95
CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMS THAT THE
CHANGE WAS HER ACT...AND THE ACT
00:20:53.98\00:20:57.95
IS A MARK" - THIS IS A LETTER,
OCTOBER 28, 1895, FROM C.F.
00:20:57.99\00:21:03.22
THOMAS, WHO SERVED
UNDER CARDINAL GIBBONS.
00:21:03.26\00:21:06.86
AND THEY ADMIT, 'YEAH, WE
CHANGED THE SABBATH.' AND THEY
00:21:06.90\00:21:08.83
SAY, "THIS IS A MARK OF
HER ECCLESIASTICAL POWER AND
00:21:08.86\00:21:12.10
AUTHORITY IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS."
NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
00:21:12.13\00:21:14.94
NOTICED, ON THE RIGHT THERE'S
A COPY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:21:14.97\00:21:16.84
I TOOK IN FRONT
OF A CATHOLIC CHURCH.
00:21:16.87\00:21:18.61
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE SECOND
COMMANDMENT IS JUST NOT THERE -
00:21:18.64\00:21:21.38
AND THEY DIVIDE THE
TENTH COMMANDMENT IN TWO.
00:21:21.41\00:21:23.51
THEY TOOK OUT THE
COMMANDMENT ABOUT IDOLATRY.
00:21:23.55\00:21:26.21
THEY MAKE THE
SABBATH A THIRD COMMANDMENT.
00:21:26.25\00:21:28.55
IT SAYS, "THE HOLY SABBATH
DAY WAS CHANGED FROM SATURDAY TO
00:21:28.58\00:21:32.59
SUNDAY...NOT FROM ANY DIRECTIONS
NOTED IN THE SCRIPTURES.
00:21:32.62\00:21:36.19
BUT FROM THE CHURCH'S
SENSE OF ITS OWN POWER..."
00:21:36.22\00:21:39.56
- NOTICE THIS QUOTE - "PEOPLE
WHO THINK THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD
00:21:39.59\00:21:43.00
BE THE SOLE AUTHORITY, SHOULD
LOGICALLY BECOME SEVENTH-DAY
00:21:43.03\00:21:46.90
ADVENTISTS AND
KEEP SATURDAY HOLY."
00:21:46.94\00:21:48.74
THAT'S FROM ST. CATHERINE'S
CATHOLIC CHURCH, MAY 21, 1995 -
00:21:48.77\00:21:53.17
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THAT ENDORSEMENT.
00:21:53.21\00:21:55.11
(LAUGHTER) WE DIDN'T
WRITE THAT, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT.
00:21:55.14\00:22:00.15
THEY SAY, 'LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO GO BY THE BIBLE, YOU SHOULD
00:22:00.18\00:22:02.25
LOGICALLY BE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS.' THEY'RE KIND OF
00:22:02.28\00:22:04.15
MAKING FUN OF MOST CHRISTIANS
THAT DON'T REALLY GO BY THE TEN
00:22:04.19\00:22:07.72
COMMANDMENTS. THEY'RE
FOLLOWING A TRADITION.
00:22:07.76\00:22:10.86
PETER AND THE APOSTLES, THEY
SAID, "WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD" -
00:22:10.89\00:22:14.96
ACTS 5:29 - "RATHER
THAN MEN." THIS IS ALL ABOUT
00:22:15.00\00:22:17.57
'WHO IS YOUR GOD?'
YOU ARE THE SERVANTS
00:22:17.60\00:22:19.27
OF THE ONE YOU OBEY.
SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT WORSHIP.
00:22:19.30\00:22:21.47
THE BIG ISSUE IN THE
LAST DAYS IS WORSHIP.
00:22:21.50\00:22:23.64
THEY'RE BEING TOLD TO WORSHIP
THE BEAST OR WORSHIP JEHOVAH.
00:22:23.67\00:22:26.17
THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT
HOW HE HAS SPECIFIED WE SHOULD
00:22:26.21\00:22:28.88
WORSHIP. AND HE ILLUSTRATES THAT
00:22:28.91\00:22:31.28
IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. AMEN.
00:22:31.31\00:22:33.28
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT
JESUS AND TO FULLY FOLLOW HIM,
00:22:33.31\00:22:36.99
WHAT HAPPENS? CHRIST
SAID, "TAKE MY YOKE UPON
00:22:37.02\00:22:40.46
YOU, AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I
AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART, AND
00:22:40.49\00:22:44.93
YE SHALL FIND
REST UNTO YOUR SOULS."
00:22:44.96\00:22:47.76
THE LORD WANTS US
TO HAVE THAT REST.
00:22:47.83\00:22:49.80
WHO IS GOING TO
ENJOY THE REST IN HEAVEN?
00:22:49.83\00:22:52.70
YOU READ ABOUT IT IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 15 - WE LIKE TO START
00:22:52.73\00:22:55.70
AND END WITH REVELATION - IT
SAID, "I SAW SOMETHING LIKE A
00:22:55.74\00:22:58.71
SEA OF GLASS MINGLED WITH FIRE.
00:22:58.74\00:23:01.54
AND THOSE WHO HAVE THE VICTORY
OVER THE BEAST, OVER HIS IMAGE,
00:23:01.58\00:23:05.61
AND OVER HIS MARK AND OVER THE
NUMBER OF HIS NAME, STANDING ON
00:23:05.65\00:23:10.25
THE SEA OF GLASS,
HAVING HARPS OF GOD."
00:23:10.29\00:23:13.15
AND THERE THEY ARE, IN
HEAVEN, THEY ARE REDEEMED.
00:23:13.19\00:23:16.12
THEY ARE SAVED. THEY'VE GOT THAT
REST AND THEY'VE GOT THAT PEACE,
00:23:16.16\00:23:19.23
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE
TRUTH. THEY HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD
00:23:19.26\00:23:22.56
AND THEY HAVE TURNED
FROM THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:23:22.60\00:23:25.17
NOW, WHEN YOU TAKE A STAND
FOR TRUTH, FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT
00:23:25.20\00:23:28.00
EXPERIENCE SOME STRUGGLES - AND
JESUS NEVER SAID, 'FOLLOW ME AND
00:23:28.04\00:23:33.68
IT'S GOING TO BE EASY.' HE SAID,
'IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU NEED TO
00:23:33.71\00:23:37.25
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW
ME.' BUT THE PROMISE IS THAT
00:23:37.28\00:23:40.72
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE PEACE AND REST.
00:23:40.75\00:23:44.05
IF YOU SEEK TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
AND LIVE FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL
00:23:44.09\00:23:48.36
LOSE IT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO FIND
YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED TO SAY 'NO'
00:23:48.39\00:23:52.49
TO SELF AND 'YES' TO JESUS AND
THEN YOU HAVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:23:52.53\00:23:55.96
HE SAID, 'I'VE COME THAT I MIGHT
GIVE YOU LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.
00:23:56.00\00:23:58.83
AND SO, WHEN YOU LEARN THINGS
LIKE THIS ABOUT THE BEAST AND
00:23:58.87\00:24:02.07
THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THE
SABBATH TRUTH, DOES IT TROUBLE
00:24:02.10\00:24:05.04
YOU? WELL, IT MAY RIGHT NOW BUT,
00:24:05.07\00:24:07.08
ULTIMATELY, WHY DOES GOD
WANT YOU TO KNOW THESE THINGS?
00:24:07.11\00:24:09.94
IS THE SABBATH
CURSED OR BLESSED?
00:24:09.98\00:24:12.18
BLESSED. HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU.
00:24:12.21\00:24:14.98
SOME OF YOU HAVE NEVER
EXPERIENCED THAT BLESSING.
00:24:15.02\00:24:17.69
THERE ARE PEOPLE I KNOW
THAT ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
00:24:17.72\00:24:19.99
YOU'VE HEARD
THESE THINGS FOR YEARS.
00:24:20.02\00:24:21.39
YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:24:21.42\00:24:23.12
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU PLAN
ON DOING IT BUT, 'OH, PASTOR
00:24:23.16\00:24:25.49
DOUG, IF I DO IT NOW, YOU
KNOW, I'LL GET KICKED OUT OF MY
00:24:25.53\00:24:28.26
CHURCH.' OR 'IF I TAKE A STAND
FOR THIS NOW, MY FAMILY - WE'VE
00:24:28.30\00:24:31.17
BEEN IN THIS - THEY'RE GOING TO
DENOUNCE ME.' I KNOW PEOPLE THAT
00:24:31.20\00:24:34.64
WHEN THEY TOOK A STAND FOR THE
TRUTH, THEIR FAMILY SAID, 'DON'T
00:24:34.67\00:24:37.34
EVER TALK TO US AGAIN.' 'I'M
GOING TO LOSE MY JOB.' SHADRACH,
00:24:37.37\00:24:44.25
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WERE
WILLING TO LOSE THEIR JOB AND
00:24:44.28\00:24:46.75
THEIR LIVES. JESUS
SAID, 'IT'S NOT ME AND
00:24:46.78\00:24:51.42
SOMETHING ELSE,' HE SAID,
'IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME, YOU
00:24:51.45\00:24:54.16
MUST LOVE ME MORE - FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBAND, WIFE, HOUSES,
00:24:54.19\00:24:58.13
LANDS, EVERYTHING.' HE
NEEDS FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:24:58.16\00:25:01.53
AMEN. AND WHEN
YOU PUT HIM FIRST,
00:25:01.56\00:25:03.40
HE GIVES YOU EVERYTHING ELSE.
JESUS GOES ON AND HE SAYS, 'NO
00:25:03.43\00:25:06.70
MAN THAT HAS FORSAKEN FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBANDS, WIVES, HOUSES,
00:25:06.74\00:25:10.21
LANDS, FOR MY SAKE AND
THE GOSPEL, HE'LL RECEIVE A
00:25:10.24\00:25:13.14
HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
IN THIS LIFE.' AMEN.
00:25:13.17\00:25:17.25
YOU MAY HAVE PERSECUTION, BUT
HE GIVES YOU A HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
00:25:17.28\00:25:20.52
- AND ETERNAL LIFE
IN THE WORLD TO COME.
00:25:20.55\00:25:22.52
THERE'S GOING TO BE TRIALS.
THERE'LL BE CROSSES - LIFE IS
00:25:22.55\00:25:25.42
TOUGH, BUT IT'S A
LOT TOUGHER TO BE LOST.
00:25:25.45\00:25:28.22
IT'S A LOT TOUGHER TO NOT HAVE
GOD WALKING WITH YOU BECAUSE
00:25:28.26\00:25:32.66
YOU'RE REJECTING HIM - TO
HAVE NO PEACE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
00:25:32.69\00:25:36.46
AND SO, WE SHARE ALL THESE
THINGS - IT'S ALL ABOUT - IT'S
00:25:36.50\00:25:39.57
NOT JUST ABOUT ONE COMMANDMENT,
IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE HEART -
00:25:39.60\00:25:42.64
SURRENDERING YOUR HEARTS TO GOD.
HAVE YOU SAID, 'LORD, I WANT
00:25:42.67\00:25:47.88
YOU TO BE FIRST IN MY LIFE.
I'M WILLING TO SAY 'YES' TO YOU
00:25:47.91\00:25:51.71
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.' JESUS
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING 50/50 -
00:25:51.75\00:25:54.95
YOU AND THE WORLD - 50 PERCENT
WORLD/50 PERCENT ME' - HE SAID,
00:25:54.98\00:25:58.89
'YOU'RE EITHER
WITH ME OR AGAINST ME.'
