>>THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.56\00:00:05.13
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.17\00:00:09.60
>>TSUNAMIS ARE AMONG THE MOST
DESTRUCTIVE NATURAL DISASTERS.
00:00:09.64\00:00:13.24
THESE SEISMIC SEA WAVES ARE
CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKES, UNDERSEA
00:00:13.27\00:00:16.91
LAND SLIDES, VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS,
OR EVEN AN OCCASIONAL ASTEROID
00:00:16.95\00:00:21.08
STRIKE THAT CAUSES SUDDEN
COASTAL MOVEMENT OF SEA WATER.
00:00:21.12\00:00:25.45
TSUNAMIS CAN TRAVEL
OVER 500 MILES AN HOUR.
00:00:25.49\00:00:28.79
THESE KILLER WAVES MAY BE ONLY A
FOOT HIGH IN THE DEEP OCEAN, BUT
00:00:28.82\00:00:32.26
THEY GROW MASSIVE AS
THEY REACH THE SHORE.
00:00:32.29\00:00:35.30
IN 1958, THE MEGA-TSUNAMI IN
LITUYA BAY, ALASKA WAS CAUSED BY
00:00:35.33\00:00:39.80
A MASSIVE LAND SLIDE AFTER
AN 8.3 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE.
00:00:39.83\00:00:44.17
WHEN A WAVE RUSHED ACROSS THE
BAY, IT RAN UP A VALLEY WALL TO
00:00:44.21\00:00:48.14
A HEIGHT OF 1,720 FEET.
JESUS SAID ONE OF THE SIGNS OF
00:00:48.18\00:00:54.38
THE END WILL BE DISTRESS OF
NATIONS WITH PERPLEXITY, THE
00:00:54.42\00:00:58.75
SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING.
INCREASING NATURAL DISASTERS ARE
00:00:58.79\00:01:03.22
SIGNALING EARTH'S GRAND FINALE,
BUT WE DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID.
00:01:03.26\00:01:07.83
IN THE WORDS OF PSALM 46, 'GOD
IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH.'
00:01:07.86\00:01:12.50
EVEN IF THE MOUNTAINS FALL
INTO THE SEA, AS LONG AS WE HAVE
00:01:12.53\00:01:16.20
JESUS, WE ARE SAFE. >>WE
ARE LIVING IN INTERESTING
00:01:16.24\00:01:23.88
TIMES. WE'RE
LIVING IN VOLATILE TIMES.
00:01:23.91\00:01:29.22
AND I WAS IMPRESSED THIS WEEK
TO TALK ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT
00:01:29.25\00:01:35.39
ACTUALLY HAS A CERTAIN AIR ABOUT
IT, EVEN WHEN YOU JUST SAY THE
00:01:35.42\00:01:39.49
WORD, 'ARMAGEDDON'.
00:01:39.53\00:01:41.53
THE WORD ONLY APPEARS ONE
TIME IN THE BIBLE AND IT DOESN'T
00:01:41.56\00:01:43.77
APPEAR ANYWHERE
ELSE IN GREEK LITERATURE.
00:01:43.80\00:01:47.07
IT'S SOMETHING OF A MYSTERIOUS
WORD, BUT IT DESCRIBES A GREAT
00:01:47.10\00:01:52.84
FINAL CONFLICT THAT THE
WORLD IS DRIFTING TOWARDS.
00:01:52.87\00:01:57.38
IT'S GOING TO REPRESENT
THE CULMINATION OF THE BATTLE
00:01:57.41\00:02:00.75
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ON
00:02:00.78\00:02:03.92
THAT SUBJECT, BUT YOU AND I
ARE VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN WHAT
00:02:03.95\00:02:06.96
HAPPENS AND WHAT LEADS UP
TO THIS BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:02:06.99\00:02:10.49
EVIL. SO THE MESSAGE TODAY, AND
THIS NEXT WEEK, IS GOING TO BE
00:02:10.53\00:02:14.73
THE BATTLE OF
ARMAGEDDON - TODAY, PART 1.
00:02:14.73\00:02:18.27
YOU KNOW, JESUS MAKES A
STATEMENT ABOUT THE WARS IN THE
00:02:18.30\00:02:22.00
WORLD WHEN HE SPOKE
ABOUT THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING.
00:02:22.04\00:02:26.21
IN MATTHEW 24, VERSE 6, JESUS
SAID, "AND YOU WILL HEAR OF WARS
00:02:26.24\00:02:31.85
AND RUMORS OF WARS....FOR NATION
WILL RISE AGAINST NATION AND
00:02:31.88\00:02:36.02
KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM."
NOW, AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II,
00:02:36.05\00:02:41.42
GENERAL DOUGLAS MAC ARTHUR SAID
- YOU KNOW, HE WAS THERE ON THAT
00:02:41.46\00:02:45.36
BATTLESHIP WHEN THEY SIGNED THE
PEACE AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN - AND
00:02:45.39\00:02:49.66
HE SAID, "IF WE DO NOT DEVISE
SOME GREATER AND MORE EQUITABLE
00:02:49.70\00:02:53.13
MEANS OF SETTLING DISPUTES AMONG
NATIONS, ARMAGEDDON WILL BE AT
00:02:53.17\00:02:58.51
OUR DOOR."
SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF
00:02:58.54\00:03:02.61
ARMAGEDDON, LIKE GENERAL MAC
ARTHUR, THEY THINK ABOUT WORLD
00:03:02.64\00:03:06.48
WAR III - THAT IT'S GOING
TO BE A MASSIVE WAR BETWEEN
00:03:06.51\00:03:10.05
CHINA AND RUSSIA AND THE
U.S. OR OTHER WORLD POWERS.
00:03:10.09\00:03:16.39
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE ANYTHING
THAT COULD BE WORSE THAN WORLD
00:03:16.42\00:03:18.43
WAR II. DO YOU
KNOW THAT IN THE LAST
00:03:18.46\00:03:21.13
CENTURY - 108 MILLION PEOPLE
WERE KILLED IN THE 20TH CENTURY?
00:03:21.16\00:03:27.20
SOMEONE ESTIMATED THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF PEOPLE KILLED IN WARS,
00:03:27.24\00:03:31.01
THAT ARE RECORDED IN HISTORY,
EASILY TOPS 1 BILLION PEOPLE
00:03:31.04\00:03:35.98
KILLED IN WAR. MAN
SEEMS TO HAVE A PROPENSITY
00:03:36.01\00:03:40.48
TOWARDS WAR. TODAY,
THE COMBINED ARMED FORCES
00:03:40.52\00:03:44.39
IN THE WORLD - THERE ARE 21.3
MILLION PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY.
00:03:44.42\00:03:49.62
CHINA'S GOT THE WORLD'S LARGEST
MILITARY WITH 2.4 MILLION.
00:03:49.66\00:03:54.23
INDIA IS SECOND - WE
WERE JUST THERE - 1.4 MILLION.
00:03:54.30\00:03:58.93
AMERICA NOW HAS 1.3 MILLION,
NORTH KOREA 1.1 MILLION, RUSSIA
00:03:58.97\00:04:06.21
900,000. NOW THIS, TO
ME, WAS, I THINK, ONE OF THE
00:04:06.24\00:04:10.05
MOST INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT WAR AND MILITARIES.
00:04:10.08\00:04:13.18
DO YOU KNOW THAT THE WORLD
SPENDS OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS
00:04:13.21\00:04:17.35
AN HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES?
00:04:17.39\00:04:22.86
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO
GET THAT PAID PER HOUR?
00:04:22.89\00:04:25.43
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AN HOUR!
00:04:25.46\00:04:28.86
SO WHEN PEOPLE TALK, TODAY,
ABOUT ARMAGEDDON, IT IS A FACT
00:04:28.90\00:04:32.03
OF HISTORY THAT MAN HAS NEVER
MADE A WEAPON HE DID NOT USE.
00:04:32.07\00:04:38.21
I MEAN, EVEN AMERICA, AT
ONE POINT, USED ATOMIC WEAPONS.
00:04:38.24\00:04:41.78
AND NOW, THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE
INFINITELY MORE DEVASTATING AND
00:04:41.81\00:04:44.85
YOU THINK, 'HOW LONG WILL
IT BE BEFORE SOMEBODY, THROUGH
00:04:44.88\00:04:48.08
ACCIDENT, MADNESS, OR FOLLY,
LAUNCHES A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
00:04:48.12\00:04:53.62
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? BUT IS
THAT THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON?
00:04:53.66\00:04:57.83
WELL, IT'S NOT
WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK.
00:04:57.86\00:05:02.46
WHAT BEGINS THE
COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON?
00:05:02.50\00:05:04.73
NOW YOU GO TO - REVELATION IS
THE PLACE WHERE YOU FIND THIS,
00:05:04.77\00:05:06.74
BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO
TO REVELATION CHAPTER 7.
00:05:06.77\00:05:11.07
WE READ, "AFTER THESE THINGS I
SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT THE
00:05:11.11\00:05:15.74
FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH," -
THOSE FOUR ANGELS REPRESENT THE
00:05:15.78\00:05:19.35
NORTH, THE SOUTH,
THE EAST, AND WEST.
00:05:19.38\00:05:21.38
HE TALKS ABOUT THE
FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
00:05:21.42\00:05:23.08
THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS WILL
SEND FORTH HIS ANGELS TO GATHER
00:05:23.12\00:05:25.89
TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE EARTH, AND THOSE
00:05:25.92\00:05:29.26
ARE THE FOUR DIRECTIONS OF
THE COMPASS, SO THIS IS SOMEWHAT
00:05:29.29\00:05:32.56
SYMBOLIC.
"...FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT
00:05:32.59\00:05:34.36
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH,
HOLDING THE FOUR WINDS OF THE
00:05:34.36\00:05:37.67
EARTH, THAT THE
WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW..."
00:05:37.70\00:05:41.44
- NOW THE WINDS
REPRESENT A STORM.
00:05:41.47\00:05:44.77
IT SAYS, "...THAT THE WIND
SHOULD NOT BLOW ON THE EARTH, ON
00:05:44.81\00:05:47.91
THE SEA, OR ON ANY TREE."
WE'VE ALL SEEN WHEN WINDS BLOW
00:05:47.94\00:05:51.08
ON THE EARTH AND YOU CAN GET A
DUST STORM OR TORNADO AND WINDS
00:05:51.11\00:05:54.22
CAN BLOW ON THE SEA AND
YOU CAN GET A HURRICANE.
00:05:54.25\00:05:57.89
AND WINDS BLOW ON A TREE - YOU
CAN SEE A TYPHOON OR SOMETHING
00:05:57.92\00:06:01.92
BENDING THE TREES DOWN - AND SO
THESE STORMS AFFECT THE ELEMENTS
00:06:01.96\00:06:06.03
AND THE ENVIRONMENT. SO
THESE ANGELS ARE HOLDING BACK
00:06:06.06\00:06:09.40
THIS GREAT STORM THAT
IS ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED.
00:06:09.43\00:06:13.10
AND, IF YOU READ IN DANIEL, IT
TALKS ABOUT, 'I SAW THE WINDS OF
00:06:13.13\00:06:16.04
STRIFE ON THE WATERS.' IN
DANIEL, THERE, IT'S TALKING
00:06:16.07\00:06:18.94
ABOUT STRIFE AND STORM AND THESE
NATIONS RISING AND FALLING.
00:06:18.97\00:06:23.11
IT OFTEN HAPPENS
IN THE CONTEXT OF WAR.
00:06:23.14\00:06:26.01
NOW, BEFORE THOSE ANGELS RELEASE
THEIR GRIP ON THIS STORM, IT
00:06:26.05\00:06:30.92
SAYS SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN.
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL
00:06:30.95\00:06:33.76
ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:06:33.79\00:06:38.33
AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE
TO THE FOUR ANGELS TO WHOM IT
00:06:38.36\00:06:41.26
WAS GRANTED TO HARM THE EARTH
AND THE SEA, SAYING, 'DO NOT
00:06:41.30\00:06:44.83
HARM THE EARTH, THE SEA, OR THE
TREES TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE
00:06:44.87\00:06:49.04
SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
00:06:49.07\00:06:52.67
WE'RE, RIGHT NOW, LIVING IN THE
EYE OF A HURRICANE, YOU MIGHT
00:06:52.71\00:06:55.64
SAY. YOU KNOW,
THEY SAY THAT, YOU
00:06:55.68\00:06:58.25
KNOW, WHEN A HURRICANE GOES OVER
AND YOU'RE JUST RIGHT IN THE
00:06:58.28\00:07:00.35
MIDDLE OF IT, THAT THERE'S
A STRANGE CALM THAT HAPPENS.
00:07:00.38\00:07:04.22
SO, THERE'S A
SEALING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
00:07:04.25\00:07:06.79
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO TALK
FOR A MOMENT ABOUT 'WHAT IS THIS
00:07:06.82\00:07:08.59
SEAL?' BECAUSE
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
00:07:08.62\00:07:10.66
YOU MUST HAVE IF
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SAVED.
00:07:10.69\00:07:12.89
BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
TELL YOU THIS BUT, WHETHER YOU
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.50
LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU'RE ALL GOING
TO BE MARKED SOON - EVERYBODY
00:07:15.53\00:07:19.30
HERE - ONE WAY OR THE
OTHER. THERE ARE TWO MARKS IN
00:07:19.33\00:07:22.44
REVELATION - MUCH OF THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD IS VERY FAMILIAR
00:07:22.47\00:07:25.21
WITH THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN
THE HAND OR IN THE FOREHEAD, BUT
00:07:25.24\00:07:29.11
THE BIBLE SAYS THE
SAVED ARE MARKED TOO.
00:07:29.14\00:07:31.61
IT'S INTERESTING, I NEVER
HEAR ANYONE SAY, 'AND ALL OF THE
00:07:31.65\00:07:35.02
SAVED ARE GOING TO GET A BAR
CODE AND ALL OF THE SAVED ARE
00:07:35.05\00:07:38.35
GOING TO GET THE SALVATION RFD
CHIP.' WE NEVER EQUATE THE MARK
00:07:38.39\00:07:42.89
THE SAVED GET WITH
ANY OF THESE GOOFY THINGS.
00:07:42.92\00:07:46.83
THAT'S BECAUSE BOTH OF THE MARKS
ARE A SYMBOL FOR SOMETHING THAT
00:07:46.86\00:07:51.27
IS IN THE HAND AND IN THE HEAD.
00:07:51.30\00:07:54.14
NOW, YOU TURN WITH ME IN THE
BIBLE AND I'LL SHOW YOU THIS.
00:07:54.17\00:07:56.74
FIRST OF ALL, THE SEAL OF GOD
IN THE HEART IS THE LAW OF GOD.
00:07:56.77\00:08:02.58
THE LAW OF GOD
IS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:08:02.61\00:08:04.38
IN THE LAW OF GOD
YOU FIND THE SEAL.
00:08:04.41\00:08:06.21
YOU READ IN ISAIAH 8:16, "BIND
UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW
00:08:06.25\00:08:11.49
AMONG MY DISCIPLES." YOU
KNOW, THE BIBLE IS CALLED
00:08:11.52\00:08:13.56
'THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS'
- THE LAW AND THE TESTIMONY?
00:08:13.59\00:08:15.79
THIS MUST BE SEALED
WITHIN US - THE WORD OF GOD.
00:08:15.82\00:08:19.76
"THEN I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, A
LAMB STANDING ON MOUNT ZION, AND
00:08:19.79\00:08:23.00
WITH HIM ONE HUNDRED AND
FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND, HAVING HIS
00:08:23.03\00:08:26.20
FATHER'S NAME
WRITTEN ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
00:08:26.23\00:08:29.27
YOU GET TO REVELATION 17,
THERE'S THIS WOMAN, SHE'S GOT A
00:08:29.30\00:08:31.91
PARAGRAPH IN HER FOREHEAD -
"MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
00:08:31.94\00:08:35.14
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" - I
00:08:35.18\00:08:37.58
MEAN, DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE A LADY WALKING
00:08:37.61\00:08:39.75
AROUND WITH THAT BIG OL' TATTOO
ON HER FOREHEAD IN THE LAST
00:08:39.78\00:08:41.85
DAYS? IT COULD
HAPPEN, I GUESS, TODAY, HUH?
00:08:41.88\00:08:46.52
BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:08:46.55\00:08:49.62
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN IT
SAYS, 'IN THE HAND AND IN THE
00:08:49.66\00:08:52.33
FOREHEAD,' BIBLICALLY?
00:08:52.36\00:08:54.10
FRIENDS, I WANT YOU TO
UNDERSTAND THIS: DEUTERONOMY -
00:08:54.13\00:08:57.83
IF YOU GO TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER
6 - THIS IS THAT VERY FAMOUS
00:08:57.87\00:09:01.70
SHEMA, WHERE YOU CAN READ
IN DEUTERONOMY 5, MOSES GOES
00:09:01.74\00:09:06.94
THROUGH AND HE
REPEATS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:09:06.98\00:09:09.01
BY THE WAY, THE WORD
'DEUTERONOMY' MEANS, 'A
00:09:09.04\00:09:10.88
REPEATING OF THE LAW'. IN
DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5 YOU'VE
00:09:10.91\00:09:15.48
GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
YOU GO TO DEUTERONOMY 6 AND HE
00:09:15.52\00:09:18.92
SAYS, "HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE
LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE!
00:09:18.95\00:09:23.09
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR
GOD" - THIS IS VERSE 4 - "WITH
00:09:23.12\00:09:25.96
ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL
YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR
00:09:25.99\00:09:28.20
STRENGTH. AND THESE
WORDS WHICH I COMMAND
00:09:28.23\00:09:30.97
YOU TODAY" - THE WORDS HE
00:09:31.00\00:09:32.73
HAD JUST COMMANDED, THERE'S
NO CHAPTER DIVISIONS - "THESE
00:09:32.77\00:09:35.07
WORDS" - TEN COMMANDMENTS
- "WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY
00:09:35.10\00:09:37.77
SHALL BE IN YOUR
HEART." THAT'S THE NEW COVENANT,
00:09:37.81\00:09:41.01
OF COURSE, RIGHT? "YOU
SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY
00:09:41.04\00:09:44.41
TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND SHALL TALK
OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR
00:09:44.45\00:09:46.65
HOUSE, WHEN YOU WALK BY
THE WAY, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN,
00:09:46.68\00:09:48.98
AND WHEN YOU RISE UP. YOU
SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON
00:09:49.02\00:09:52.12
YOUR HAND AND THEY SHALL BE
AS FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES."
00:09:52.15\00:09:58.53
NOW, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE
ANCIENT JEWS, WANTING TO MAKE
00:09:58.56\00:10:01.33
SURE THEY DIDN'T MISUNDERSTAND,
THEY LITERALLY TOOK PASSAGES OF
00:10:01.36\00:10:06.47
SCRIPTURE AND THEY WRAPPED THEM
WITH LEATHER AROUND THEIR RIGHT
00:10:06.50\00:10:08.67
HANDS OR THEY HUNG PHYLACTERIES
- LITTLE BOXES WITH A PIECE OF
00:10:08.70\00:10:11.77
SCRIPTURE - ON THEIR FOREHEAD.
SOME OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN
00:10:11.81\00:10:14.74
THE PICTURES OF THE ORTHODOX
JEWS THAT THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE
00:10:14.78\00:10:19.15
SOMETHING HANGING
IN THEIR FOREHEAD.
00:10:19.18\00:10:20.52
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE WORD
OF GOD ON THEIR FOREHEAD AND
00:10:20.55\00:10:24.15
THEY'LL HAVE ONE ON THEIR HAND
AND THEY DO THAT BECAUSE MOSES
00:10:24.19\00:10:26.69
SAID, 'IN YOUR HAND AND IN
YOUR FOREHEAD.' IT'S OBVIOUSLY A
00:10:26.72\00:10:29.92
SYMBOL BECAUSE, IN THE SAME
PASSAGE, HE SAYS IT'S TO BE IN
00:10:29.96\00:10:32.33
YOUR HEART TOO. SO
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
00:10:32.36\00:10:35.00
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO, LIKE, OPEN
UP OUR CHESTS AND STUFF PASSAGES
00:10:35.03\00:10:39.37
OF THE WORD IN LIKE YOU DO -
STICK YOUR PRAYERS IN THE CRACKS
00:10:39.40\00:10:42.00
OF THE WAILING WALL? NO,
IN YOUR HEART MEANS IN YOUR
00:10:42.04\00:10:45.67
AFFECTIONS, IN YOUR
MIND, IN YOUR ACTIONS.
00:10:45.71\00:10:50.41
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:10:50.45\00:10:52.65
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:10:52.68\00:10:55.18
>>HAVE YOU READ WHAT THE BIBLE
ACTUALLY SAYS ABOUT THE LAST-DAY
00:10:55.22\00:10:57.65

00:11:56.01\00:11:59.28
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:59.31\00:12:03.75
>>LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW
MORE VERSES THAT BEAR THIS OUT.
00:12:03.79\00:12:05.59
YOU FIND THIS PHRASE SO OFTEN IN
THE BIBLE, WE SHOULDN'T MISS IT.
00:12:05.62\00:12:09.19
SO I'M ALWAYS SURPRISED WHEN
PEOPLE COME UP WITH THESE ZANY
00:12:09.22\00:12:11.63
IDEAS ABOUT WHAT THE MARK OF THE
BEAST IS AND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN
00:12:11.66\00:12:14.40
IT SAYS, 'IN THE HAND AND IN THE
FOREHEAD.' HERE'S ANOTHER ONE:
00:12:14.46\00:12:17.53
DEUTERONOMY 11, VERSE 18,
"THEREFORE YOU SHALL LAY UP
00:12:17.57\00:12:21.40
THESE WORDS OF MINE IN YOUR
HEART AND IN YOUR SOUL, AND BIND
00:12:21.44\00:12:24.24
THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND,
AND THEY SHALL BE AS FRONTLETS
00:12:24.27\00:12:28.41
BETWEEN YOUR EYES."
THAT'S YOUR FOREHEAD.
00:12:28.44\00:12:31.28
EXODUS 13:9, "IT SHALL BE AS A
SIGN TO YOUR ON YOUR HAND AND AS
00:12:31.31\00:12:35.72
A MEMORIAL BETWEEN YOUR EYES,
THAT THE LORD'S LAW MAY BE IN
00:12:35.75\00:12:39.92
YOUR MOUTH;" - AND IT SAYS, 'OUT
OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART,
00:12:39.95\00:12:42.72
THE MOUTH SPEAKS.' IT MEANS
THE LORD'S LAW IN YOUR HEART.
00:12:42.76\00:12:45.83
- "FOR WITH A STRONG HAND THE
LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE
00:12:45.86\00:12:47.96
LAND OF EGYPT." NOW
GO TO EXODUS 13:6 - I'M
00:12:47.96\00:12:50.80
GIVING YOU FOUR - IN THE MOUTHS
OF TWO WITNESSES IT SHOULD BE
00:12:50.83\00:12:53.90
ESTABLISHED - HERE'S FOUR -
EXODUS 13, VERSE 16, "IT SHALL
00:12:53.94\00:12:58.74
BE AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND AND AS
FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES, FOR
00:12:58.77\00:13:02.68
BY STRENGTH OF HAND THE
LORD BROUGHT US OUT OF EGYPT."
00:13:02.71\00:13:06.01
IN THE HAND, IN THE FOREHEAD;
IN THE HAND, IN THE FOREHEAD -
00:13:06.05\00:13:09.08
EVERY JEW KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT.
IT MEANT THAT IT'S TO BE CLOSE
00:13:09.12\00:13:14.36
TO YOU - IN YOUR ACTIONS -
IT'S TO BE IN YOUR THOUGHTS.
00:13:14.39\00:13:17.06
NOW, VERY SIMPLY IF YOU DO
NOT HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD IN YOUR
00:13:17.09\00:13:20.96
HAND AND IN YOUR HEART AND
IN YOUR HEAD, YOU WILL HAVE THE
00:13:20.96\00:13:23.26
MARK OF THE BEAST IN YOUR
HAND AND IN YOUR HEAD, BECAUSE
00:13:23.30\00:13:25.53
EVERYONE'S GOING TO
HAVE ONE OR THE OTHER.
00:13:25.57\00:13:27.64
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR FATHER'S NAME
IN YOUR FOREHEAD - AND I'LL TALK
00:13:27.67\00:13:31.01
MORE ABOUT THE SEAL NEXT WEEK -
WHAT - SOME OF THE SPECIFICS OF
00:13:31.04\00:13:33.84
IT. SO, WHAT IS THE
SEAL? I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE
00:13:33.88\00:13:39.91
ASPECT: THERE IS A SEAL - I'LL
GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF ASPECTS -
00:13:39.95\00:13:44.22
THERE'S A SEAL IN THE LAW OF GOD
WHERE YOU FIND THE NAME OF GOD.
00:13:44.25\00:13:49.79
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THERE ARE
THREE COMPONENTS TO ANY SEAL - A
00:13:49.82\00:13:54.36
GOVERNMENT SEAL - WHEN THE
PRESIDENT GIVES A SPEECH IT'LL
00:13:54.36\00:13:58.50
HAVE THE SEAL OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:13:58.53\00:14:01.44
I WAS JUST IN NASHVILLE A FEW
WEEKS AGO AND KAREN AND I GOT TO
00:14:01.47\00:14:06.91
SHAKE HANDS WITH VICE PRESIDENT
PENCE AND HE CAME UP - THEY
00:14:06.94\00:14:09.94
BROUGHT OUT HIS OWN PODIUM -
IT'S JUST THE VICE PRESIDENT -
00:14:09.98\00:14:13.35
WHEN HE SPEAKS, THEY'VE GOT HIS
OWN PODIUM THEY BRING WITH HIM
00:14:13.38\00:14:16.48
AND THEY SET IT UP AND
THEY PUT THE SEAL THERE.
00:14:16.52\00:14:18.55
I REMEMBER ONE OF THE
ATTENDANTS, HE DID ALL THIS
00:14:18.59\00:14:20.19
FIDDLING WITH THE MICROPHONES,
MADE EVERYTHING PERFECT, AND
00:14:20.22\00:14:22.29
THEN HE TOOK OUT A CLOTH
AND HE POLISHED OFF THE SEAL.
00:14:22.32\00:14:25.83
AND SO, A GOVERNMENT SEAL
CONTAINS THREE THINGS: IT'S GOT
00:14:25.86\00:14:30.70
THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL, IT'S
GOT THE TITLE OR OFFICE THAT
00:14:30.73\00:14:35.04
THEY HOLD, AND THEN IT'S GOT THE
TERRITORY OVER WHICH THE OFFICE
00:14:35.07\00:14:38.34
HAS AUTHORITY. THE
PRESIDENTIAL SEAL WOULD SAY,
00:14:38.37\00:14:42.01
'DONALD TRUMP' - THAT'S HIS
NAME - 'PRESIDENT' - THAT'S HIS
00:14:42.04\00:14:44.91
TITLE - 'UNITED
STATES' IS THE TERRITORY.
00:14:44.95\00:14:47.95
YOU HAVE SEVERAL
SEALS IN THE BIBLE.
00:14:47.98\00:14:49.95
THERE WAS A SEAL PLACED ON THE
TOMB OF JESUS BY PONTIUS PILATE
00:14:49.98\00:14:54.52
AND IT WOULD HAVE READ, 'PONTIUS
PILATE, GOVERNOR, JUDEA'.
00:14:54.56\00:14:59.49
THERE WAS A SEAL PLACED ON THE
STONE WHEN DANIEL WAS PUT IN THE
00:14:59.53\00:15:02.43
LION'S DEN. REMEMBER,
THE KING SEALED IT AND
00:15:02.46\00:15:04.57
IT WOULD HAVE SAID,
'DARIUS, KING, MEDO-PERSIA'.
00:15:04.60\00:15:08.77
AND SO, YOU FIND
THOSE THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:15:08.80\00:15:11.37
NOW, WHERE IN THE LAW OF GOD DO
YOU FIND THE SEAL OF GOD? IT'S
00:15:11.41\00:15:14.74
IN THE ONLY COMMANDMENT WHERE
YOU ALSO FIND THE WORD 'HOLY'.
00:15:14.78\00:15:17.85
IT SAYS, "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE
LORD" - JEHOVAH, THAT'S HIS NAME
00:15:17.88\00:15:23.18
- "CREATED" - HE IS THE CREATOR
AND THE SUSTAINER - THAT'S HIS
00:15:23.22\00:15:27.69
TITLE - "THE HEAVEN AND THE
EARTH" - THAT'S EVERYTHING ABOVE
00:15:27.72\00:15:30.59
AND EVERYTHING
BELOW. THAT'S HIS TERRITORY.
00:15:30.63\00:15:33.19
YOU'VE GOT THE NAME OF GOD,
YOU'VE GOT THE SEAL OF GOD, IN
00:15:33.23\00:15:36.36
THAT COMMANDMENT THAT
TALKS ABOUT WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:15:36.40\00:15:39.17
THAT'S WHY IT IS
AN IMPORTANT DEAL.
00:15:39.20\00:15:42.50
I KNOW SOME DON'T FEEL THAT WAY,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY SEAL.
00:15:42.54\00:15:45.74
THAT'S A SEAL IN THE
LAW. YOU KNOW WHAT THE MOST
00:15:45.77\00:15:47.58
IMPORTANT SEAL IS?
THOSE WHO HAVE THE MARK OF
00:15:47.61\00:15:51.68
THE BEAST HAVE
WHOSE SPIRIT? >>SATAN'S.
00:15:51.71\00:15:55.28
>>SATAN'S SPIRIT.
THOSE THAT HAVE THE SEAL
00:15:55.32\00:15:57.12
OF GOD HAVE
WHOSE SPIRIT? >>GOD'S.
00:15:57.15\00:16:00.22
>>SEE, YOU ALREADY KNEW
THAT. DOESN'T THAT KIND OF
00:16:00.26\00:16:02.46
GO WITHOUT SAYING?
BUT IT'S IN THE BIBLE TOO.
00:16:02.49\00:16:05.43
2 CORINTHIANS,
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 21.
00:16:05.46\00:16:09.13
"NOW HE WHO ESTABLISHES US WITH
YOU IN CHRIST AND HAS ANOINTED
00:16:09.16\00:16:13.97
US IS GOD, WHO ALSO HAS SEALED
US AND GIVEN US THE SPIRIT IN
00:16:14.00\00:16:19.04
OUR HEARTS AS A GUARANTEE."
THERE IS A SEALING THAT
00:16:19.07\00:16:22.64
HAPPENS WITH THE HOLY
SPIRIT. IF YOU SAY, 'I KEEP THE
00:16:22.68\00:16:25.38
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD' AND
YOU DON'T HAVE THE SPIRIT OF
00:16:25.41\00:16:27.22
GOD, YOU'RE NOT
SAVED BY THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:16:27.25\00:16:29.45
AND, BY THE WAY, YOU CAN'T
REALLY KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
00:16:29.48\00:16:32.15
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. >>AMEN.
00:16:32.19\00:16:34.42
>>YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER
HOW HARD YOU MIGHT TRY, IF THE
00:16:34.46\00:16:40.10
LORD IS NOT FIRST IN YOUR LIFE,
YOU MIGHT SAY, 'WELL, I DON'T
00:16:40.13\00:16:43.70
PRAY TO STATUES,' BUT IF HE'S
NOT FIRST IN YOUR LIFE, YOU'RE -
00:16:43.73\00:16:45.87
IT'S IDOLATRY. IF THE
LORD IS NOT FIRST IN YOUR
00:16:45.90\00:16:48.64
HEART, THEN YOU'RE
WORSHIPING OTHER GODS.
00:16:48.67\00:16:51.24
IF THE LORD IS NOT FIRST IN YOUR
HEART, THEN YOU'RE REALLY NOT
00:16:51.27\00:16:54.41
WORSHIPING GOD, YOU
TAKE HIS NAME IN VAIN.
00:16:54.44\00:16:56.44
YOU SAY YOU'RE A
CHRISTIAN, BUT IT'S IN VAIN.
00:16:56.48\00:16:59.41
AND YOU CAN'T REALLY KEEP
THE SABBATH - IF YOU WERE TO SIT
00:16:59.45\00:17:01.58
DOWN AND FIDDLE YOUR THUMBS ALL
DAY LONG AND NOT DO ANYTHING AND
00:17:01.62\00:17:04.45
SAY, 'I KEPT THE SABBATH HOLY.'
IF THE LORD'S NOT FIRST IN YOUR
00:17:04.49\00:17:06.99
HEART, YOU'RE MISSING
THE WHOLE SPIRIT OF IT.
00:17:07.02\00:17:10.09
IT'S FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
THE SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:17:10.13\00:17:13.43
EPHESIANS 1:13, "IN HIM YOU ALSO
TRUSTED, AFTER YOU HEARD THE
00:17:13.46\00:17:17.77
WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF
YOUR SALVATION; IN WHOM ALSO,
00:17:17.80\00:17:21.24
HAVING BELIEVED, YOU WERE
SEALED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF
00:17:21.27\00:17:24.97
PROMISE," - IF
THAT'S CLEAR, SAY, 'AMEN.'
00:17:25.01\00:17:27.01
>>AMEN. >>IF NOT,
I'VE GOT ONE MORE:
00:17:27.04\00:17:29.81
EPHESIANS 4:30, "AND DO NOT
GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
00:17:29.84\00:17:33.98
BY WHOM YOU WERE SEALED
FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."
00:17:34.02\00:17:38.35
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT EZEKIEL
20:12, WHICH SAYS, "MOREOVER I
00:17:38.39\00:17:42.82
ALSO GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS,
TO BE A SIGN" - AND THAT WORD,
00:17:42.86\00:17:45.49
'SIGN' CAN MEAN 'TOKEN' OR
'SEAL' - IT'S INTERCHANGEABLE -
00:17:45.53\00:17:49.73
"BETWEEN THEM AND ME, THAT THEY
MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD
00:17:49.76\00:17:52.37
WHO SANCTIFIES THEM."
SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT GOD IS
00:17:52.40\00:17:55.84
OUR CREATOR AND IT'S A
SIGN, ALSO, THAT HE RECREATES US
00:17:55.87\00:17:58.91
AND HE SANCTIFIES US. >>AMEN.
00:17:58.94\00:18:01.28
>>NOW, WHEN THAT WORK IS FINALLY
COMPLETE - WHEN ALL THE SERVANTS
00:18:01.31\00:18:04.55
OF GOD ARE SEALED - IS IT CLEAR
TO YOU FROM CHAPTER 7, IT SAYS,
00:18:04.58\00:18:08.78
'DON'T RELEASE THE WINDS
UNTIL I'VE SEALED MY SERVANTS'?
00:18:08.82\00:18:11.92
WOULDN'T THAT SOUND, TO YOU,
LIKE AFTER THEY ARE SEALED, THE
00:18:11.95\00:18:14.96
WINDS ARE RELEASED? SO,
WHY DOES THIS CHURCH EXIST?
00:18:14.99\00:18:23.93
WE GET TOGETHER BECAUSE WE'RE
SOCIAL CREATURES AND WE NEED TO
00:18:23.97\00:18:26.74
INTERACT WITH EACH
OTHER. THAT'S GOOD.
00:18:26.77\00:18:29.57
I LOVE COMING TO CHURCH AND YOU
SEE FRIENDS AND YOU FELLOWSHIP
00:18:29.60\00:18:31.94
AND THAT'S GREAT. BUT
WHY DO WE REALLY EXIST?
00:18:31.97\00:18:35.61
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
JESUS GAVE IT TO US: GO AND
00:18:35.64\00:18:40.12
TEACH THE GOSPEL
TO EVERY CREATURE.
00:18:40.15\00:18:42.45
WE'VE GOT A WORK TO DO. WE
NEED TO FEED THE HUNGRY WITH
00:18:42.48\00:18:47.46
FOOD, BUT WE NEED TO FEED
THEM WITH THE BREAD OF LIFE.
00:18:47.49\00:18:49.89
WE NEED TO CLOTHE THE NAKED, BUT
THEY NEED THE ROBE OF CHRIST'S
00:18:49.92\00:18:52.33
RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE
NEED TO GIVE WATER TO THE
00:18:52.36\00:18:54.00
THIRSTY, BUT THEY
NEED THE LIVING WATER.
00:18:54.03\00:18:56.10
WE'VE GOT A MISSION
TO DISPENSE THE GOSPEL.
00:18:56.13\00:18:58.77
WE'RE TO BE A
LIGHT TO THE WORLD.
00:18:58.80\00:19:00.54
AND I KNOW THIS CHURCH TAKES IT
VERY SERIOUSLY, BECAUSE WHAT YOU
00:19:00.57\00:19:05.84
DO NOW IS PREPARING PEOPLE
TO LIVE WHEN PROBATION CLOSES.
00:19:05.87\00:19:14.08
NOW THAT THOUGHT
USED TO MAKE ME SHUDDER.
00:19:14.12\00:19:17.02
IT STILL DOES MAKE
ME TREMBLE A LITTLE BIT.
00:19:17.05\00:19:19.12
RIGHT NOW WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT
WE MESS UP THEN WE PRAY AND GOD
00:19:19.15\00:19:23.02
FORGIVES US AND
WE CAN TRY IT AGAIN.
00:19:23.06\00:19:26.26
AND WE'RE SO GLAD FOR THE GRACE
OF GOD, BUT YOU REALIZE THAT YOU
00:19:26.29\00:19:29.13
CAN REACH THE
POINT OF NO RETURN.
00:19:29.16\00:19:32.47
THERE'S A TIME - IT HAPPENS IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES - IT CAN HAPPEN
00:19:32.50\00:19:35.24
FOR A WORLD, IT CAN HAPPEN FOR A
NATION - WHEN PROBATION CLOSES.
00:19:35.27\00:19:40.11
YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN BY PROBATION?
00:19:40.14\00:19:42.24
IT'S A TRIAL PERIOD.
GOD HAS GIVEN US MERCY.
00:19:42.28\00:19:46.05
HE'S GIVEN US A PERIOD OF TIME -
IT IS A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME,
00:19:46.08\00:19:49.22
IT WILL NOT LAST FOREVER - WHEN
WE CAN CHOOSE TO COME TO HIM AND
00:19:49.25\00:19:52.62
WE CAN FIND MERCY AND
FORGIVENESS AND TRANSFORMATION.
00:19:52.65\00:19:55.52
BUT SOMEDAY, GOD IS
GOING TO SAY, 'ENOUGH!'
00:19:55.56\00:19:58.86
THE DAY IS GOING TO
COME WHEN MICHAEL STANDS UP.
00:19:58.89\00:20:02.80
THE DAY IS GOING TO COME WHEN
THE SANCTUARY IS SILENT BECAUSE
00:20:02.83\00:20:06.87
THERE'S NO MORE
INTERCESSION THERE.
00:20:06.90\00:20:09.20
IT HAPPENED IN
THE LIFE OF KING SAUL.
00:20:09.24\00:20:12.07
GOD WAS SO MERCIFUL TO HIM FOR
YEARS - HE REIGNED FORTY YEARS -
00:20:12.11\00:20:15.51
PROBABLY TEN YEARS INTO HIS
REIGN HE BEGAN TO GET REBELLIOUS
00:20:15.54\00:20:17.91
AND HE STARTED RESISTING AND NOT
LISTENING TO SAMUEL THE PROPHET
00:20:17.95\00:20:21.02
AND DOING HIS OWN
THING. HE BECAME PROUD.
00:20:21.05\00:20:22.88
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION,
'POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE
00:20:22.92\00:20:25.39
POWER CORRUPTS
ABSOLUTELY'? HE BECAME CORRUPTED
00:20:25.42\00:20:29.09
BY THE POWER. HE
BECAME PROUD AND HE BECAME
00:20:29.12\00:20:30.93
REBELLIOUS AND THE PROPHETS
WOULD TALK TO HIM AND THE
00:20:30.96\00:20:34.10
PRIESTS WOULD TALK TO HIM
AND HE KILLED THE PRIESTS.
00:20:34.13\00:20:37.30
FINALLY, GOD SAID,
'LOOK, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING.
00:20:37.33\00:20:39.43
I'M NOT TALKING ANYMORE.' AND
WHEN HE WAS BEING ATTACKED BY
00:20:39.47\00:20:42.74
THE PHILISTINES, HE
WENT TO TALK TO THE PROPHETS.
00:20:42.77\00:20:44.94
THERE WAS NO WORD.
THE PRIESTS - NO WORD.
00:20:44.97\00:20:47.41
HE PRAYED - NO ANSWER.
FINALLY, HE WENT TO A WITCH.
00:20:47.44\00:20:51.21
SAUL HAD GRIEVED AWAY THE HOLY
SPIRIT AND HE FELL ON HIS OWN
00:20:51.25\00:20:53.92
SWORD. JUDAS
RESISTED THE PATIENT
00:20:53.95\00:20:58.49
PLEADING OF JESUS FOR THREE
AND A HALF YEARS, WALKING WITH
00:20:58.52\00:21:02.32
CHRIST AND NEVER
FULLY SURRENDERING.
00:21:02.36\00:21:04.29
AND JESUS GOT DOWN AND HE'S
WASHING JUDAS' FEET, HOPING THAT
00:21:04.33\00:21:07.23
JUDAS'LL REPENT AND CONFESS
HE'S ABOUT TO BETRAY THE LORD.
00:21:07.30\00:21:11.00
BUT HE HARDENED HIS HEART.
HE THOUGHT, 'IF HE WAS REALLY
00:21:11.03\00:21:12.93
THE MESSIAH, HE WOULDN'T BE
DOWN THERE WASHING MY FEET.' HIS
00:21:12.97\00:21:15.24
PRIDE - HE GAVE INTO HIS
PRIDE. AND THE BIBLE SAYS 'SATAN
00:21:15.27\00:21:19.64
ENTERED HIM AND HE WENT OUT
AND IT WAS NIGHT.' AND THE BIBLE
00:21:19.67\00:21:24.98
WARNS US THAT THERE CAN
COME A TIME WHERE YOU REACH
00:21:25.01\00:21:27.45
THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
YOU KNOW, ARMY HELICOPTERS,
00:21:27.48\00:21:32.99
THEY'VE GOT A
LIGHT THAT COMES ON.
00:21:33.02\00:21:35.42
IF THEY'RE GOING OUT OVER
THE OCEAN - THE COASTGUARD
00:21:35.46\00:21:37.46
HELICOPTER - AND THEY'RE GOING
TO MAKE A RESCUE AT SEA, THEY'VE
00:21:37.49\00:21:40.56
GOT TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO THEIR FUEL BECAUSE HOWEVER
00:21:40.60\00:21:44.70
FAR OUT THEY GET, THEY CAN'T
LAND LIKE A PLANE, YOU KNOW,
00:21:44.73\00:21:49.04
JUST ANYWHERE,
THEY NEED SOLID GROUND.
00:21:49.07\00:21:53.31
AND THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY DON'T USE MORE FUEL
00:21:53.34\00:21:56.38
GOING OUT THAN
THEY HAVE TO COME BACK.
00:21:56.41\00:21:57.88
AS SOON AS THEY'RE GOING OUT ON
A RESCUE, THEY'LL SET WHAT THEIR
00:21:57.91\00:22:00.32
POINT OF NO RETURN IS AND
THEY'LL GET TO A CERTAIN POINT,
00:22:00.35\00:22:03.82
IF THAT RED LIGHT GOES OFF, EVEN
IF THEY SEE THE PERSON THEY NEED
00:22:03.85\00:22:06.76
TO RESCUE IS JUST A HALF A
MILE AWAY, THEY TURN AROUND.
00:22:06.79\00:22:10.83
THEY SAY, 'IF WE RESCUE
YOU, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT BACK.
00:22:10.86\00:22:13.26
WE'RE ALL GOING TO GO IN THE
BRINK TOGETHER.' IT CAN HAPPEN
00:22:13.29\00:22:17.03
FOR A PERSON WHERE YOU
REACH THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
00:22:17.07\00:22:20.44
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE
PUSHING GOD'S MERCY TOO FAR?
00:22:20.47\00:22:23.91
YOU KEEP SAYING, 'OH, THANK YOU,
LORD, I'M GLAD YOU'RE A MERCIFUL
00:22:23.94\00:22:25.91
GOD. FORGIVE MY
SIN, BUT I PLAN ON
00:22:25.94\00:22:28.48
DOING IT AGAIN TOMORROW, SO
THANKS FOR YOUR MERCY TODAY.'
00:22:28.51\00:22:31.81
IS THAT REAL REPENTANCE?
YOU KEEP DOING THAT AND, IT'S
00:22:31.85\00:22:34.95
NOT THAT GOD WON'T FORGIVE YOU,
IT'S THAT YOU CAN GET WHERE YOU
00:22:34.98\00:22:37.65
LOSE YOUR CAPACITY TO REALLY
REPENT AND YOU CAN REACH THE
00:22:37.69\00:22:41.72
POINT OF NO RETURN SOMEDAY
BY PERSISTING IN YOUR SIN.
00:22:41.76\00:22:45.86
WE TAKE GOD'S MERCY FOR GRANTED
SOMETIMES AND THAT'S A VERY
00:22:45.89\00:22:50.63
DANGEROUS THING TO DO.
MATTER OF FACT, MOST PEOPLE DO.
00:22:50.67\00:22:53.94
'HE IS SO MERCIFUL, HE
IS SO PATIENT, HE IS SO LONG
00:22:53.97\00:22:56.54
SUFFERING. AFTER
ALL, HE'S OUR HEAVENLY
00:22:56.57\00:22:58.24
FATHER, HOW COULD
HE EVER SAY 'NO'?'
00:22:58.27\00:23:02.08
WELL, THE TIME COMES WHERE
HE JUST IS NOT ABLE TO SAVE YOU
00:23:02.11\00:23:05.85
BECAUSE YOU'VE
JUST GONE TOO FAR.
00:23:05.88\00:23:08.25
YOU DON'T WANT
TO GO TO THAT POINT.
00:23:08.28\00:23:10.89
IT NOT ONLY HAPPENED IN THE TIME
OF LOT AND SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:23:10.92\00:23:15.26
FINALLY, THE ANGELS CAME AND
SAID TO LOT AND HIS FAMILY, 'GET
00:23:15.29\00:23:18.26
OUT, FOR GOD IS GOING TO DESTROY
THIS PLACE.' AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN
00:23:18.29\00:23:21.60
THE SUN CAME UP IN SODOM, THEY
THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
00:23:21.63\00:23:25.50
THE FLOWERS WERE SMELLING SWEET
AND THE BIRDS WERE SINGING AND
00:23:25.53\00:23:28.87
YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW
THAT THAT WAS THEIR LAST DAY.
00:23:28.90\00:23:31.61
IT HAPPENED IN THE DAYS OF
NOAH. THE WORLD HAD REACHED
00:23:31.64\00:23:35.34
THE POINT OF NO RETURN. ARE
YOU AWARE THAT GOD TOLD NOAH
00:23:35.38\00:23:39.28
AND HIS FAMILY TO GET ON THE
ARK, AFTER IT WAS BUILT - AND
00:23:39.31\00:23:42.95
GOD SHUT THE DOOR - AND AFTER
GOD SHUT THE DOOR, LIFE WENT ON
00:23:42.98\00:23:46.69
OUTSIDE JUST LIKE EVERY
OTHER DAY, FOR SEVEN DAYS?
00:23:46.72\00:23:51.29
BUT PROBATION HAD CLOSED
AND THEY DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
00:23:51.33\00:23:55.13
IT KIND OF - ISN'T
THAT A TROUBLING THOUGHT?
00:23:55.16\00:23:58.97
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S THE BEST TIME TO REPENT?
00:23:59.00\00:24:05.81
SOMEONE ASKED A RABBI,
'WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO
00:24:05.84\00:24:08.08
REPENT?' HE SAID, 'THE
LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.'
00:24:08.11\00:24:10.88
HE SAID, 'OKAY, HOW DO I
KNOW WHICH DAY IS THE LAST DAY?'
00:24:10.91\00:24:14.92
AND THE RABBI SAID, 'EXACTLY.'
(LAUGHTER) SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW,
00:24:14.95\00:24:19.52
THE BEST TIME TO GIVE IT ALL TO
THE LORD AND TAKE THOSE CLASSES
00:24:19.55\00:24:22.39
ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR
GARMENTS CLEAN IS NOW.
00:24:22.42\00:24:26.53
SEE, YOU COME TO THE LORD
THROUGH JUSTIFICATION - HE
00:24:26.56\00:24:29.66
ACCEPTS YOU JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
YOU TURN TO JESUS LIKE THE THIEF
00:24:29.70\00:24:33.67
ON THE CROSS AND HE
PROMISES YOU HE'LL ACCEPT YOU,
00:24:33.70\00:24:37.61
HE'LL FORGIVE YOU.
THEN, IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE
00:24:37.64\00:24:39.44
LORD AND YOU'VE COME TO
HIM, HE SAYS, 'OKAY, PHASE 2,
00:24:39.47\00:24:42.74
SANCTIFICATION. NOW
WE WANT TO TEACH YOU HOW
00:24:42.78\00:24:45.21
TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE.' SO MANY
PEOPLE STOP AT JUSTIFICATION -
00:24:45.25\00:24:49.82
THEY ARE SO THANKFUL THAT GOD
OFFERS TO FORGIVE THEM, BUT THEY
00:24:49.85\00:24:52.72
HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING HOLY.
THAT'S KIND OF A FRIGHTENING
00:24:52.75\00:24:57.63
THING TO CONSIDER, THAT
SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT THE MERCY,
00:24:57.66\00:25:01.50
THEY DON'T WANT THE
POWER TO BE CHANGED.
00:25:01.53\00:25:05.23
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE CHANGED,
FRIENDS, BECAUSE SOME DAY THE
00:25:05.27\00:25:07.94
LAUNDROMAT'S GOING TO CLOSE.
THAT'S WHEN PROBATION CLOSES.
00:25:07.97\00:25:12.54
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THAT IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSE 1, "AT
00:25:12.57\00:25:18.05
THAT TIME MICHAEL SHALL STAND
UP," - YOU KNOW, WHEN A JUDGE
00:25:18.08\00:25:21.38
STANDS UP IN A COURT, THAT
MEANS, 'I'M DONE LISTENING TO
00:25:21.42\00:25:23.59
EVIDENCE, I'VE ISSUED MY
VERDICT. CASES ARE CLOSED.
00:25:23.62\00:25:26.39
IT IS OVER.' - "...MICHAEL SHALL
STAND UP, THE GREAT PRINCE WHO
00:25:26.42\00:25:30.73
STANDS WATCH OVER THE SONS OF
YOUR PEOPLE; AND THERE SHALL BE
00:25:30.76\00:25:34.63
A TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER
WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION,
00:25:34.66\00:25:38.10
EVEN TO THAT TIME." WHEN
THERE'S A TIME OF TROUBLE,
00:25:38.13\00:25:44.07
SUCH AS NEVER HAS
BEEN, THAT'S HARD TO IMAGINE.
00:25:44.11\00:25:47.18
REVELATION 22 - YOU CAN READ
ABOUT THIS WHERE JESUS SAID, "HE
00:25:47.21\00:25:50.55
WHO IS UNJUST, LET HIM BE UNJUST
STILL; HE WHO IS FILTHY, LET HIM
00:25:50.58\00:25:54.58
BE FILTHY STILL; HE WHO IS
RIGHTEOUS, LET HIM BE RIGHTEOUS
00:25:54.62\00:25:58.15
STILL; HE WHO IS HOLY,
LET HIM BE HOLY STILL."
00:25:58.19\00:26:00.72
THERE'LL COME A TIME WHEN THE
SAVED ARE SAVED AND THE LOST ARE
00:26:00.76\00:26:04.13
LOST. THE SAVED
ARE SEALED - THEY'VE
00:26:04.16\00:26:06.06
GOT THEIR FATHER'S NAME
WRITTEN IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
00:26:06.09\00:26:08.46
THEY'VE GOT THEIR FATHER'S
NAME WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS AND
00:26:08.50\00:26:10.73
THEIR HANDS AND THEIR
HEADS. AND THE LOST, THEY HAVE
00:26:10.77\00:26:13.90
THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
HAVE YOU READ WHAT REVELATION
00:26:13.94\00:26:16.34
SAYS ABOUT THE
MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:26:16.37\00:26:18.21
THE MOST FEARFUL DENUNCIATIONS
AND CURSES IN THE BIBLE FALLS ON
00:26:18.24\00:26:22.41
THEM. SO WE DON'T WANT TO WAIT
00:26:22.44\00:26:25.28
UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT A TIME
00:26:25.31\00:26:29.98
IN AMOS 12, WHERE THEY'LL
"...WANDER FROM SEA TO SEA , AND
00:26:30.02\00:26:32.92
FROM NORTH TO EAST; THEY SHALL
RUN TO AND FRO, SEEKING THE WORD
00:26:32.95\00:26:35.79
OF THE LORD, BUT
SHALL NOT FIND IT."
00:26:35.82\00:26:38.13
AM I LIVING WHERE
I NEED TO BE LIVING?
00:26:38.16\00:26:41.63
AM I JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF GOD'S JUSTIFICATION, OR AM I
00:26:41.66\00:26:45.30
REALLY WANTING
HIM TO SANCTIFY ME?
00:26:45.33\00:26:48.07
AM I WANTING TO BE A CHRISTIAN
IN NAME OR DO I WANT TO BE A
00:26:48.10\00:26:50.81
CHRISTIAN IN DEED? RIGHT
NOW THE DOORS OF MERCY ARE OPEN
00:26:50.84\00:26:55.68
BUT YOU KNOW, IN EVERYBODY'S
LIFE - PROBATION CLOSES FOR
00:26:55.71\00:26:57.91
EVERYBODY, EVENTUALLY.
YOU WANT TO WALK IN THE LIGHT
00:26:57.95\00:27:01.62

LIGHT, AMEN, FRIENDS?
