>>THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.46\00:00:05.03
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.07\00:00:09.50
>>TSUNAMIS ARE AMONG THE MOST
DESTRUCTIVE NATURAL DISASTERS.
00:00:09.54\00:00:13.14
THESE SEISMIC SEA WAVES ARE
CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKES, UNDERSEA
00:00:13.17\00:00:16.81
LAND SLIDES, VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS,
OR EVEN AN OCCASIONAL ASTEROID
00:00:16.85\00:00:20.98
STRIKE THAT CAUSES SUDDEN
COASTAL MOVEMENT OF SEA WATER.
00:00:21.02\00:00:25.35
TSUNAMIS CAN TRAVEL
OVER 500 MILES AN HOUR.
00:00:25.39\00:00:28.69
THESE KILLER WAVES MAY BE ONLY A
FOOT HIGH IN THE DEEP OCEAN, BUT
00:00:28.72\00:00:32.16
THEY GROW MASSIVE AS
THEY REACH THE SHORE.
00:00:32.19\00:00:35.20
IN 1958, THE MEGA-TSUNAMI IN
LITUYA BAY, ALASKA WAS CAUSED BY
00:00:35.23\00:00:39.70
A MASSIVE LAND SLIDE AFTER
AN 8.3 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE.
00:00:39.73\00:00:44.07
WHEN A WAVE RUSHED ACROSS THE
BAY, IT RAN UP A VALLEY WALL TO
00:00:44.11\00:00:48.04
A HEIGHT OF 1,720 FEET.
JESUS SAID ONE OF THE SIGNS OF
00:00:48.08\00:00:54.28
THE END WILL BE DISTRESS OF
NATIONS WITH PERPLEXITY, THE
00:00:54.32\00:00:58.65
SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING.
INCREASING NATURAL DISASTERS ARE
00:00:58.69\00:01:03.06
SIGNALING EARTH'S GRAND FINALE,
BUT WE DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID.
00:01:03.09\00:01:07.66
IN THE WORDS OF PSALM 46, 'GOD
IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH.'
00:01:07.66\00:01:12.33
EVEN IF THE MOUNTAINS FALL
INTO THE SEA, AS LONG AS WE HAVE
00:01:12.37\00:01:16.04
JESUS, WE ARE SAFE. >>WE
ARE LIVING IN INTERESTING
00:01:16.07\00:01:23.71
TIMES. WE'RE
LIVING IN VOLATILE TIMES.
00:01:23.75\00:01:29.05
AND I WAS IMPRESSED THIS WEEK
TO TALK ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT
00:01:29.08\00:01:35.22
ACTUALLY HAS A CERTAIN AIR ABOUT
IT, EVEN WHEN YOU JUST SAY THE
00:01:35.26\00:01:39.33
WORD, 'ARMAGEDDON'.
00:01:39.36\00:01:41.36
THE WORD ONLY APPEARS ONE
TIME IN THE BIBLE AND IT DOESN'T
00:01:41.40\00:01:43.60
APPEAR ANYWHERE
ELSE IN GREEK LITERATURE.
00:01:43.63\00:01:46.90
IT'S SOMETHING OF A MYSTERIOUS
WORD, BUT IT DESCRIBES A GREAT
00:01:46.94\00:01:52.67
FINAL CONFLICT THAT THE
WORLD IS DRIFTING TOWARDS.
00:01:52.71\00:01:57.21
IT'S GOING TO REPRESENT
THE CULMINATION OF THE BATTLE
00:01:57.25\00:02:00.58
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION ON
00:02:00.62\00:02:03.69
THAT SUBJECT, BUT YOU AND I
ARE VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN WHAT
00:02:03.72\00:02:06.72
HAPPENS AND WHAT LEADS UP
TO THIS BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:02:06.76\00:02:10.26
EVIL. SO THE MESSAGE TODAY, AND
THIS NEXT WEEK, IS GOING TO BE
00:02:10.29\00:02:14.46
THE BATTLE OF
ARMAGEDDON - TODAY, PART 1.
00:02:14.50\00:02:18.03
YOU KNOW, JESUS MAKES A
STATEMENT ABOUT THE WARS IN THE
00:02:18.07\00:02:21.77
WORLD WHEN HE SPOKE
ABOUT THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING.
00:02:21.80\00:02:25.97
IN MATTHEW 24, VERSE 6, JESUS
SAID, "AND YOU WILL HEAR OF WARS
00:02:26.01\00:02:31.61
AND RUMORS OF WARS....FOR NATION
WILL RISE AGAINST NATION AND
00:02:31.65\00:02:35.78
KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM."
NOW, AT THE END OF WORLD WAR II,
00:02:35.82\00:02:41.19
GENERAL DOUGLAS MAC ARTHUR SAID
- YOU KNOW, HE WAS THERE ON THAT
00:02:41.22\00:02:45.13
BATTLESHIP WHEN THEY SIGNED THE
PEACE AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN - AND
00:02:45.16\00:02:49.43
HE SAID, "IF WE DO NOT DEVISE
SOME GREATER AND MORE EQUITABLE
00:02:49.46\00:02:52.90
MEANS OF SETTLING DISPUTES AMONG
NATIONS, ARMAGEDDON WILL BE AT
00:02:52.93\00:02:58.27
OUR DOOR."
SOMETIMES WHEN PEOPLE THINK OF
00:02:58.31\00:03:02.31
ARMAGEDDON, LIKE GENERAL MAC
ARTHUR, THEY THINK ABOUT WORLD
00:03:02.34\00:03:06.18
WAR III - THAT IT'S GOING
TO BE A MASSIVE WAR BETWEEN
00:03:06.21\00:03:09.75
CHINA AND RUSSIA AND THE
U.S. OR OTHER WORLD POWERS.
00:03:09.78\00:03:16.09
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE ANYTHING
THAT COULD BE WORSE THAN WORLD
00:03:16.12\00:03:18.13
WAR II. DO YOU
KNOW THAT IN THE LAST
00:03:18.16\00:03:20.86
CENTURY - 108 MILLION PEOPLE
WERE KILLED IN THE 20TH CENTURY?
00:03:20.90\00:03:26.90
SOMEONE ESTIMATED THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF PEOPLE KILLED IN WARS,
00:03:26.94\00:03:30.71
THAT ARE RECORDED IN HISTORY,
EASILY TOPS 1 BILLION PEOPLE
00:03:30.74\00:03:35.68
KILLED IN WAR. MAN
SEEMS TO HAVE A PROPENSITY
00:03:35.71\00:03:40.18
TOWARDS WAR. TODAY,
THE COMBINED ARMED FORCES
00:03:40.22\00:03:44.09
IN THE WORLD - THERE ARE 21.3
MILLION PEOPLE IN THE MILITARY.
00:03:44.12\00:03:49.32
CHINA'S GOT THE WORLD'S LARGEST
MILITARY WITH 2.4 MILLION.
00:03:49.36\00:03:53.96
INDIA IS SECOND - WE
WERE JUST THERE - 1.4 MILLION.
00:03:54.00\00:03:58.63
AMERICA NOW HAS 1.3 MILLION,
NORTH KOREA 1.1 MILLION, RUSSIA
00:03:58.67\00:04:05.84
900,000. NOW THIS, TO
ME, WAS, I THINK, ONE OF THE
00:04:05.87\00:04:09.68
MOST INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT WAR AND MILITARIES.
00:04:09.71\00:04:12.81
DO YOU KNOW THAT THE WORLD
SPENDS OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS
00:04:12.85\00:04:16.99
AN HOUR ON SOLDIERS,
AMMUNITION, AND WAR MACHINES?
00:04:17.02\00:04:22.49
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO
GET THAT PAID PER HOUR?
00:04:22.52\00:04:25.06
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS AN HOUR!
00:04:25.09\00:04:28.50
SO WHEN PEOPLE TALK, TODAY,
ABOUT ARMAGEDDON, IT IS A FACT
00:04:28.53\00:04:31.67
OF HISTORY THAT MAN HAS NEVER
MADE A WEAPON HE DID NOT USE.
00:04:31.70\00:04:37.84
I MEAN, EVEN AMERICA, AT
ONE POINT, USED ATOMIC WEAPONS.
00:04:37.87\00:04:41.41
AND NOW, THE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE
INFINITELY MORE DEVASTATING AND
00:04:41.44\00:04:44.48
YOU THINK, 'HOW LONG WILL
IT BE BEFORE SOMEBODY, THROUGH
00:04:44.51\00:04:47.72
ACCIDENT, MADNESS, OR FOLLY,
LAUNCHES A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
00:04:47.75\00:04:53.25
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? BUT IS
THAT THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON?
00:04:53.29\00:04:57.46
WELL, IT'S NOT
WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK.
00:04:57.49\00:05:02.03
WHAT BEGINS THE
COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDDON?
00:05:02.06\00:05:04.30
NOW YOU GO TO - REVELATION IS
THE PLACE WHERE YOU FIND THIS,
00:05:04.33\00:05:06.30
BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO
TO REVELATION CHAPTER 7.
00:05:06.33\00:05:10.64
WE READ, "AFTER THESE THINGS I
SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT THE
00:05:10.67\00:05:15.31
FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH," -
THOSE FOUR ANGELS REPRESENT THE
00:05:15.34\00:05:18.91
NORTH, THE SOUTH,
THE EAST, AND WEST.
00:05:18.95\00:05:20.95
HE TALKS ABOUT THE
FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
00:05:20.98\00:05:22.65
THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS WILL
SEND FORTH HIS ANGELS TO GATHER
00:05:22.68\00:05:25.45
TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE EARTH, AND THOSE
00:05:25.49\00:05:28.82
ARE THE FOUR DIRECTIONS OF
THE COMPASS, SO THIS IS SOMEWHAT
00:05:28.86\00:05:32.13
SYMBOLIC.
"...FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT
00:05:32.16\00:05:33.93
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH,
HOLDING THE FOUR WINDS OF THE
00:05:33.96\00:05:37.23
EARTH, THAT THE
WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW..."
00:05:37.27\00:05:41.00
- NOW THE WINDS
REPRESENT A STORM.
00:05:41.04\00:05:44.34
IT SAYS, "...THAT THE WIND
SHOULD NOT BLOW ON THE EARTH, ON
00:05:44.37\00:05:47.48
THE SEA, OR ON ANY TREE."
WE'VE ALL SEEN WHEN WINDS BLOW
00:05:47.51\00:05:50.65
ON THE EARTH AND YOU CAN GET A
DUST STORM OR TORNADO AND WINDS
00:05:50.68\00:05:53.78
CAN BLOW ON THE SEA AND
YOU CAN GET A HURRICANE.
00:05:53.82\00:05:57.45
AND WINDS BLOW ON A TREE - YOU
CAN SEE A TYPHOON OR SOMETHING
00:05:57.49\00:06:01.42
BENDING THE TREES DOWN - AND SO
THESE STORMS AFFECT THE ELEMENTS
00:06:01.46\00:06:05.53
AND THE ENVIRONMENT. SO
THESE ANGELS ARE HOLDING BACK
00:06:05.56\00:06:08.90
THIS GREAT STORM THAT
IS ABOUT TO BE UNLEASHED.
00:06:08.93\00:06:12.60
AND, IF YOU READ IN DANIEL, IT
TALKS ABOUT, 'I SAW THE WINDS OF
00:06:12.63\00:06:15.54
STRIFE ON THE WATERS.' IN
DANIEL, THERE, IT'S TALKING
00:06:15.57\00:06:18.44
ABOUT STRIFE AND STORM AND THESE
NATIONS RISING AND FALLING.
00:06:18.47\00:06:22.61
IT OFTEN HAPPENS
IN THE CONTEXT OF WAR.
00:06:22.64\00:06:25.51
NOW, BEFORE THOSE ANGELS RELEASE
THEIR GRIP ON THIS STORM, IT
00:06:25.55\00:06:30.42
SAYS SOMETHING HAS TO HAPPEN.
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL
00:06:30.45\00:06:33.25
ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:06:33.29\00:06:37.83
AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE
TO THE FOUR ANGELS TO WHOM IT
00:06:37.86\00:06:40.80
WAS GRANTED TO HARM THE EARTH
AND THE SEA, SAYING, 'DO NOT
00:06:40.83\00:06:44.33
HARM THE EARTH, THE SEA, OR THE
TREES TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE
00:06:44.37\00:06:48.54
SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
00:06:48.57\00:06:52.17
WE'RE, RIGHT NOW, LIVING IN THE
EYE OF A HURRICANE, YOU MIGHT
00:06:52.21\00:06:55.14
SAY. YOU KNOW,
THEY SAY THAT, YOU
00:06:55.18\00:06:57.75
KNOW, WHEN A HURRICANE GOES OVER
AND YOU'RE JUST RIGHT IN THE
00:06:57.78\00:06:59.78
MIDDLE OF IT, THAT THERE'S
A STRANGE CALM THAT HAPPENS.
00:06:59.81\00:07:03.65
SO, THERE'S A
SEALING THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
00:07:03.69\00:07:06.22
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO TALK
FOR A MOMENT ABOUT 'WHAT IS THIS
00:07:06.25\00:07:08.02
SEAL?' BECAUSE
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
00:07:08.06\00:07:10.09
YOU MUST HAVE IF
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SAVED.
00:07:10.13\00:07:12.33
BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO
TELL YOU THIS BUT, WHETHER YOU
00:07:12.36\00:07:14.93
LIKE IT OR NOT, YOU'RE ALL GOING
TO BE MARKED SOON - EVERYBODY
00:07:14.96\00:07:18.73
HERE - ONE WAY OR THE
OTHER. THERE ARE TWO MARKS IN
00:07:18.77\00:07:21.87
REVELATION - MUCH OF THE
CHRISTIAN WORLD IS VERY FAMILIAR
00:07:21.90\00:07:24.64
WITH THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN
THE HAND OR IN THE FOREHEAD, BUT
00:07:24.67\00:07:28.54
THE BIBLE SAYS THE
SAVED ARE MARKED TOO.
00:07:28.58\00:07:31.05
IT'S INTERESTING, I NEVER
HEAR ANYONE SAY, 'AND ALL OF THE
00:07:31.08\00:07:34.45
SAVED ARE GOING TO GET A BAR
CODE AND ALL OF THE SAVED ARE
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.79
GOING TO GET THE SALVATION RFD
CHIP.' WE NEVER EQUATE THE MARK
00:07:37.82\00:07:42.32
THE SAVED GET WITH
ANY OF THESE GOOFY THINGS.
00:07:42.36\00:07:46.26
THAT'S BECAUSE BOTH OF THE MARKS
ARE A SYMBOL FOR SOMETHING THAT
00:07:46.29\00:07:50.70
IS IN THE HAND AND IN THE HEAD.
00:07:50.73\00:07:53.57
NOW, YOU TURN WITH ME IN THE
BIBLE AND I'LL SHOW YOU THIS.
00:07:53.60\00:07:56.17
FIRST OF ALL, THE SEAL OF GOD
IN THE HEART IS THE LAW OF GOD.
00:07:56.20\00:08:01.94
THE LAW OF GOD
IS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:08:01.98\00:08:03.75
IN THE LAW OF GOD
YOU FIND THE SEAL.
00:08:03.78\00:08:05.58
YOU READ IN ISAIAH 8:16, "BIND
UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW
00:08:05.61\00:08:10.85
AMONG MY DISCIPLES." YOU
KNOW, THE BIBLE IS CALLED
00:08:10.89\00:08:12.92
'THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS'
- THE LAW AND THE TESTIMONY?
00:08:12.95\00:08:15.16
THIS MUST BE SEALED
WITHIN US - THE WORD OF GOD.
00:08:15.19\00:08:19.13
"THEN I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, A
LAMB STANDING ON MOUNT ZION, AND
00:08:19.16\00:08:22.36
WITH HIM ONE HUNDRED AND
FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND, HAVING HIS
00:08:22.40\00:08:25.57
FATHER'S NAME
WRITTEN ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
00:08:25.60\00:08:28.64
YOU GET TO REVELATION 17,
THERE'S THIS WOMAN, SHE'S GOT A
00:08:28.67\00:08:31.27
PARAGRAPH IN HER FOREHEAD -
"MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
00:08:31.31\00:08:34.51
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" - I
00:08:34.54\00:08:36.95
MEAN, DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE A LADY WALKING
00:08:36.98\00:08:39.11
AROUND WITH THAT BIG OL' TATTOO
ON HER FOREHEAD IN THE LAST
00:08:39.15\00:08:41.22
DAYS? IT COULD
HAPPEN, I GUESS, TODAY, HUH?
00:08:41.25\00:08:45.89
BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:08:45.92\00:08:48.99
WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN IT
SAYS, 'IN THE HAND AND IN THE
00:08:49.02\00:08:51.69
FOREHEAD,' BIBLICALLY?
00:08:51.73\00:08:53.50
FRIENDS, I WANT YOU TO
UNDERSTAND THIS: DEUTERONOMY -
00:08:53.53\00:08:57.20
IF YOU GO TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER
6 - THIS IS THAT VERY FAMOUS
00:08:57.23\00:09:01.07
SHEMA, WHERE YOU CAN READ
IN DEUTERONOMY 5, MOSES GOES
00:09:01.10\00:09:06.31
THROUGH AND HE
REPEATS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:09:06.34\00:09:08.38
BY THE WAY, THE WORD
'DEUTERONOMY' MEANS, 'A
00:09:08.41\00:09:10.25
REPEATING OF THE LAW'. IN
DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5 YOU'VE
00:09:10.28\00:09:14.85
GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
YOU GO TO DEUTERONOMY 6 AND HE
00:09:14.88\00:09:18.29
SAYS, "HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE
LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE!
00:09:18.32\00:09:22.46
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR
GOD" - THIS IS VERSE 4 - "WITH
00:09:22.49\00:09:25.33
ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL
YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR
00:09:25.36\00:09:27.60
STRENGTH. AND THESE
WORDS WHICH I COMMAND
00:09:27.60\00:09:30.33
YOU TODAY" - THE WORDS HE
00:09:30.37\00:09:32.10
HAD JUST COMMANDED, THERE'S
NO CHAPTER DIVISIONS - "THESE
00:09:32.13\00:09:34.44
WORDS" - TEN COMMANDMENTS
- "WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY
00:09:34.47\00:09:37.14
SHALL BE IN YOUR
HEART." THAT'S THE NEW COVENANT,
00:09:37.17\00:09:40.38
OF COURSE, RIGHT? "YOU
SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY
00:09:40.41\00:09:43.78
TO YOUR CHILDREN, AND SHALL TALK
OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR
00:09:43.81\00:09:46.01
HOUSE, WHEN YOU WALK BY
THE WAY, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN,
00:09:46.05\00:09:48.35
AND WHEN YOU RISE UP. YOU
SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON
00:09:48.38\00:09:51.49
YOUR HAND AND THEY SHALL BE
AS FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES."
00:09:51.52\00:09:57.89
NOW, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE
ANCIENT JEWS, WANTING TO MAKE
00:09:57.93\00:10:00.73
SURE THEY DIDN'T MISUNDERSTAND,
THEY LITERALLY TOOK PASSAGES OF
00:10:00.76\00:10:05.77
SCRIPTURE AND THEY WRAPPED THEM
WITH LEATHER AROUND THEIR RIGHT
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.97
HANDS OR THEY HUNG PHYLACTERIES
- LITTLE BOXES WITH A PIECE OF
00:10:08.00\00:10:11.07
SCRIPTURE - ON THEIR FOREHEAD.
SOME OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN
00:10:11.11\00:10:14.04
THE PICTURES OF THE ORTHODOX
JEWS THAT THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE
00:10:14.08\00:10:18.45
SOMETHING HANGING
IN THEIR FOREHEAD.
00:10:18.48\00:10:19.81
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE WORD
OF GOD ON THEIR FOREHEAD AND
00:10:19.85\00:10:23.45
THEY'LL HAVE ONE ON THEIR HAND
AND THEY DO THAT BECAUSE MOSES
00:10:23.49\00:10:25.99
SAID, 'IN YOUR HAND AND IN
YOUR FOREHEAD.' IT'S OBVIOUSLY A
00:10:26.02\00:10:29.22
SYMBOL BECAUSE, IN THE SAME
PASSAGE, HE SAYS IT'S TO BE IN
00:10:29.26\00:10:31.63
YOUR HEART TOO. SO
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
00:10:31.66\00:10:34.30
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO, LIKE, OPEN
UP OUR CHESTS AND STUFF PASSAGES
00:10:34.36\00:10:38.67
OF THE WORD IN LIKE YOU DO -
STICK YOUR PRAYERS IN THE CRACKS
00:10:38.70\00:10:41.30
OF THE WAILING WALL? NO,
IN YOUR HEART MEANS IN YOUR
00:10:41.34\00:10:44.97
AFFECTIONS, IN YOUR
MIND, IN YOUR ACTIONS.
00:10:45.01\00:10:49.71
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:10:49.74\00:10:51.95
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:10:51.98\00:10:54.48
>>HAVE YOU READ WHAT THE BIBLE
ACTUALLY SAYS ABOUT THE LAST-DAY
00:10:54.52\00:10:56.95

00:11:55.24\00:11:58.51
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:58.55\00:12:02.92
>>LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW
MORE VERSES THAT BEAR THIS OUT.
00:12:02.95\00:12:04.75
YOU FIND THIS PHRASE SO OFTEN IN
THE BIBLE, WE SHOULDN'T MISS IT.
00:12:04.79\00:12:08.36
SO I'M ALWAYS SURPRISED WHEN
PEOPLE COME UP WITH THESE ZANY
00:12:08.39\00:12:10.79
IDEAS ABOUT WHAT THE MARK OF THE
BEAST IS AND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN
00:12:10.83\00:12:13.60
IT SAYS, 'IN THE HAND AND IN THE
FOREHEAD.' HERE'S ANOTHER ONE:
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.70
DEUTERONOMY 11, VERSE 18,
"THEREFORE YOU SHALL LAY UP
00:12:16.73\00:12:20.57
THESE WORDS OF MINE IN YOUR
HEART AND IN YOUR SOUL, AND BIND
00:12:20.60\00:12:23.41
THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND,
AND THEY SHALL BE AS FRONTLETS
00:12:23.44\00:12:27.58
BETWEEN YOUR EYES."
THAT'S YOUR FOREHEAD.
00:12:27.61\00:12:30.45
EXODUS 13:9, "IT SHALL BE AS A
SIGN TO YOUR ON YOUR HAND AND AS
00:12:30.48\00:12:34.88
A MEMORIAL BETWEEN YOUR EYES,
THAT THE LORD'S LAW MAY BE IN
00:12:34.92\00:12:39.09
YOUR MOUTH;" - AND IT SAYS, 'OUT
OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART,
00:12:39.12\00:12:41.89
THE MOUTH SPEAKS.' IT MEANS
THE LORD'S LAW IN YOUR HEART.
00:12:41.92\00:12:44.99
- "FOR WITH A STRONG HAND THE
LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE
00:12:45.03\00:12:47.13
LAND OF EGYPT." NOW
GO TO EXODUS 13:6 - I'M
00:12:47.13\00:12:49.96
GIVING YOU FOUR - IN THE MOUTHS
OF TWO WITNESSES IT SHOULD BE
00:12:50.00\00:12:53.07
ESTABLISHED - HERE'S FOUR -
EXODUS 13, VERSE 16, "IT SHALL
00:12:53.10\00:12:57.91
BE AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND AND AS
FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES, FOR
00:12:57.94\00:13:01.78
BY STRENGTH OF HAND THE
LORD BROUGHT US OUT OF EGYPT."
00:13:01.81\00:13:05.11
IN THE HAND, IN THE FOREHEAD;
IN THE HAND, IN THE FOREHEAD -
00:13:05.15\00:13:08.18
EVERY JEW KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT.
IT MEANT THAT IT'S TO BE CLOSE
00:13:08.22\00:13:13.46
TO YOU - IN YOUR ACTIONS -
IT'S TO BE IN YOUR THOUGHTS.
00:13:13.49\00:13:16.16
NOW, VERY SIMPLY IF YOU DO
NOT HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD IN YOUR
00:13:16.19\00:13:20.06
HAND AND IN YOUR HEART AND
IN YOUR HEAD, YOU WILL HAVE THE
00:13:20.10\00:13:22.36
MARK OF THE BEAST IN YOUR
HAND AND IN YOUR HEAD, BECAUSE
00:13:22.40\00:13:24.63
EVERYONE'S GOING TO
HAVE ONE OR THE OTHER.
00:13:24.67\00:13:26.74
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR FATHER'S NAME
IN YOUR FOREHEAD - AND I'LL TALK
00:13:26.77\00:13:30.11
MORE ABOUT THE SEAL NEXT WEEK -
WHAT - SOME OF THE SPECIFICS OF
00:13:30.14\00:13:32.94
IT. SO, WHAT IS THE
SEAL? I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE
00:13:32.97\00:13:39.01
ASPECT: THERE IS A SEAL - I'LL
GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF ASPECTS -
00:13:39.05\00:13:43.32
THERE'S A SEAL IN THE LAW OF GOD
WHERE YOU FIND THE NAME OF GOD.
00:13:43.35\00:13:48.89
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THERE ARE
THREE COMPONENTS TO ANY SEAL - A
00:13:48.92\00:13:53.46
GOVERNMENT SEAL - WHEN THE
PRESIDENT GIVES A SPEECH IT'LL
00:13:53.50\00:13:57.60
HAVE THE SEAL OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:13:57.63\00:14:00.54
I WAS JUST IN NASHVILLE A FEW
WEEKS AGO AND KAREN AND I GOT TO
00:14:00.57\00:14:05.94
SHAKE HANDS WITH VICE PRESIDENT
PENCE AND HE CAME UP - THEY
00:14:05.97\00:14:08.98
BROUGHT OUT HIS OWN PODIUM -
IT'S JUST THE VICE PRESIDENT -
00:14:09.01\00:14:12.38
WHEN HE SPEAKS, THEY'VE GOT HIS
OWN PODIUM THEY BRING WITH HIM
00:14:12.41\00:14:15.52
AND THEY SET IT UP AND
THEY PUT THE SEAL THERE.
00:14:15.55\00:14:17.59
I REMEMBER ONE OF THE
ATTENDANTS, HE DID ALL THIS
00:14:17.62\00:14:19.22
FIDDLING WITH THE MICROPHONES,
MADE EVERYTHING PERFECT, AND
00:14:19.25\00:14:21.32
THEN HE TOOK OUT A CLOTH
AND HE POLISHED OFF THE SEAL.
00:14:21.36\00:14:24.86
AND SO, A GOVERNMENT SEAL
CONTAINS THREE THINGS: IT'S GOT
00:14:24.89\00:14:29.73
THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL, IT'S
GOT THE TITLE OR OFFICE THAT
00:14:29.76\00:14:34.07
THEY HOLD, AND THEN IT'S GOT THE
TERRITORY OVER WHICH THE OFFICE
00:14:34.10\00:14:37.37
HAS AUTHORITY. THE
PRESIDENTIAL SEAL WOULD SAY,
00:14:37.41\00:14:41.04
'DONALD TRUMP' - THAT'S HIS
NAME - 'PRESIDENT' - THAT'S HIS
00:14:41.08\00:14:43.95
TITLE - 'UNITED
STATES' IS THE TERRITORY.
00:14:43.98\00:14:46.98
YOU HAVE SEVERAL
SEALS IN THE BIBLE.
00:14:47.02\00:14:48.98
THERE WAS A SEAL PLACED ON THE
TOMB OF JESUS BY PONTIUS PILATE
00:14:49.02\00:14:53.56
AND IT WOULD HAVE READ, 'PONTIUS
PILATE, GOVERNOR, JUDEA'.
00:14:53.59\00:14:58.53
THERE WAS A SEAL PLACED ON THE
STONE WHEN DANIEL WAS PUT IN THE
00:14:58.56\00:15:01.40
LION'S DEN. REMEMBER,
THE KING SEALED IT AND
00:15:01.43\00:15:03.53
IT WOULD HAVE SAID,
'DARIUS, KING, MEDO-PERSIA'.
00:15:03.57\00:15:07.74
AND SO, YOU FIND
THOSE THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:15:07.77\00:15:10.34
NOW, WHERE IN THE LAW OF GOD DO
YOU FIND THE SEAL OF GOD? IT'S
00:15:10.37\00:15:13.71
IN THE ONLY COMMANDMENT WHERE
YOU ALSO FIND THE WORD 'HOLY'.
00:15:13.74\00:15:16.81
IT SAYS, "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE
LORD" - JEHOVAH, THAT'S HIS NAME
00:15:16.85\00:15:22.15
- "CREATED" - HE IS THE CREATOR
AND THE SUSTAINER - THAT'S HIS
00:15:22.18\00:15:26.65
TITLE - "THE HEAVEN AND THE
EARTH" - THAT'S EVERYTHING ABOVE
00:15:26.69\00:15:29.56
AND EVERYTHING
BELOW. THAT'S HIS TERRITORY.
00:15:29.59\00:15:32.16
YOU'VE GOT THE NAME OF GOD,
YOU'VE GOT THE SEAL OF GOD, IN
00:15:32.19\00:15:35.33
THAT COMMANDMENT THAT
TALKS ABOUT WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:15:35.36\00:15:38.13
THAT'S WHY IT IS
AN IMPORTANT DEAL.
00:15:38.17\00:15:41.47
I KNOW SOME DON'T FEEL THAT WAY,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY SEAL.
00:15:41.50\00:15:44.71
THAT'S A SEAL IN THE
LAW. YOU KNOW WHAT THE MOST
00:15:44.74\00:15:46.54
IMPORTANT SEAL IS?
THOSE WHO HAVE THE MARK OF
00:15:46.57\00:15:50.65
THE BEAST HAVE
WHOSE SPIRIT? >>SATAN'S.
00:15:50.68\00:15:54.25
>>SATAN'S SPIRIT.
THOSE THAT HAVE THE SEAL
00:15:54.28\00:15:56.08
OF GOD HAVE
WHOSE SPIRIT? >>GOD'S.
00:15:56.12\00:15:59.12
>>SEE, YOU ALREADY KNEW
THAT. DOESN'T THAT KIND OF
00:15:59.15\00:16:01.36
GO WITHOUT SAYING?
BUT IT'S IN THE BIBLE TOO.
00:16:01.39\00:16:04.33
2 CORINTHIANS,
CHAPTER 1, VERSE 21.
00:16:04.36\00:16:08.03
"NOW HE WHO ESTABLISHES US WITH
YOU IN CHRIST AND HAS ANOINTED
00:16:08.06\00:16:12.87
US IS GOD, WHO ALSO HAS SEALED
US AND GIVEN US THE SPIRIT IN
00:16:12.90\00:16:17.94
OUR HEARTS AS A GUARANTEE."
THERE IS A SEALING THAT
00:16:17.97\00:16:21.54
HAPPENS WITH THE HOLY
SPIRIT. IF YOU SAY, 'I KEEP THE
00:16:21.58\00:16:24.28
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD' AND
YOU DON'T HAVE THE SPIRIT OF
00:16:24.31\00:16:26.11
GOD, YOU'RE NOT
SAVED BY THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:16:26.15\00:16:28.35
AND, BY THE WAY, YOU CAN'T
REALLY KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
00:16:28.38\00:16:31.05
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT. >>AMEN.
00:16:31.09\00:16:33.32
>>YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T MATTER
HOW HARD YOU MIGHT TRY, IF THE
00:16:33.36\00:16:38.99
LORD IS NOT FIRST IN YOUR LIFE,
YOU MIGHT SAY, 'WELL, I DON'T
00:16:39.03\00:16:42.60
PRAY TO STATUES,' BUT IF HE'S
NOT FIRST IN YOUR LIFE, YOU'RE -
00:16:42.63\00:16:44.77
IT'S IDOLATRY. IF THE
LORD IS NOT FIRST IN YOUR
00:16:44.80\00:16:47.54
HEART, THEN YOU'RE
WORSHIPING OTHER GODS.
00:16:47.57\00:16:50.14
IF THE LORD IS NOT FIRST IN YOUR
HEART, THEN YOU'RE REALLY NOT
00:16:50.17\00:16:53.31
WORSHIPING GOD, YOU
TAKE HIS NAME IN VAIN.
00:16:53.34\00:16:55.34
YOU SAY YOU'RE A
CHRISTIAN, BUT IT'S IN VAIN.
00:16:55.38\00:16:58.31
AND YOU CAN'T REALLY KEEP
THE SABBATH - IF YOU WERE TO SIT
00:16:58.35\00:17:00.48
DOWN AND FIDDLE YOUR THUMBS ALL
DAY LONG AND NOT DO ANYTHING AND
00:17:00.52\00:17:03.28
SAY, 'I KEPT THE SABBATH HOLY.'
IF THE LORD'S NOT FIRST IN YOUR
00:17:03.32\00:17:05.82
HEART, YOU'RE MISSING
THE WHOLE SPIRIT OF IT.
00:17:05.85\00:17:08.92
IT'S FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
THE SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:17:08.96\00:17:12.26
EPHESIANS 1:13, "IN HIM YOU ALSO
TRUSTED, AFTER YOU HEARD THE
00:17:12.29\00:17:16.60
WORD OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF
YOUR SALVATION; IN WHOM ALSO,
00:17:16.63\00:17:20.07
HAVING BELIEVED, YOU WERE
SEALED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF
00:17:20.10\00:17:23.81
PROMISE," - IF
THAT'S CLEAR, SAY, 'AMEN.'
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.84
>>AMEN. >>IF NOT,
I'VE GOT ONE MORE:
00:17:25.87\00:17:28.64
EPHESIANS 4:30, "AND DO NOT
GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
00:17:28.68\00:17:32.81
BY WHOM YOU WERE SEALED
FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."
00:17:32.85\00:17:37.19
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT EZEKIEL
20:12, WHICH SAYS, "MOREOVER I
00:17:37.22\00:17:41.66
ALSO GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS,
TO BE A SIGN" - AND THAT WORD,
00:17:41.69\00:17:44.33
'SIGN' CAN MEAN 'TOKEN' OR
'SEAL' - IT'S INTERCHANGEABLE -
00:17:44.36\00:17:48.56
"BETWEEN THEM AND ME, THAT THEY
MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD
00:17:48.60\00:17:51.20
WHO SANCTIFIES THEM."
SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT GOD IS
00:17:51.23\00:17:54.67
OUR CREATOR AND IT'S A
SIGN, ALSO, THAT HE RECREATES US
00:17:54.70\00:17:57.74
AND HE SANCTIFIES US. >>AMEN.
00:17:57.77\00:18:00.11
>>NOW, WHEN THAT WORK IS FINALLY
COMPLETE - WHEN ALL THE SERVANTS
00:18:00.14\00:18:03.31
OF GOD ARE SEALED - IS IT CLEAR
TO YOU FROM CHAPTER 7, IT SAYS,
00:18:03.35\00:18:07.55
'DON'T RELEASE THE WINDS
UNTIL I'VE SEALED MY SERVANTS'?
00:18:07.58\00:18:10.69
WOULDN'T THAT SOUND, TO YOU,
LIKE AFTER THEY ARE SEALED, THE
00:18:10.72\00:18:13.72
WINDS ARE RELEASED? SO,
WHY DOES THIS CHURCH EXIST?
00:18:13.76\00:18:22.70
WE GET TOGETHER BECAUSE WE'RE
SOCIAL CREATURES AND WE NEED TO
00:18:22.73\00:18:25.50
INTERACT WITH EACH
OTHER. THAT'S GOOD.
00:18:25.53\00:18:28.34
I LOVE COMING TO CHURCH AND YOU
SEE FRIENDS AND YOU FELLOWSHIP
00:18:28.37\00:18:30.71
AND THAT'S GREAT. BUT
WHY DO WE REALLY EXIST?
00:18:30.74\00:18:34.38
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
JESUS GAVE IT TO US: GO AND
00:18:34.41\00:18:38.88
TEACH THE GOSPEL
TO EVERY CREATURE.
00:18:38.91\00:18:41.22
WE'VE GOT A WORK TO DO. WE
NEED TO FEED THE HUNGRY WITH
00:18:41.25\00:18:46.22
FOOD, BUT WE NEED TO FEED
THEM WITH THE BREAD OF LIFE.
00:18:46.25\00:18:48.66
WE NEED TO CLOTHE THE NAKED, BUT
THEY NEED THE ROBE OF CHRIST'S
00:18:48.69\00:18:51.09
RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE
NEED TO GIVE WATER TO THE
00:18:51.13\00:18:52.79
THIRSTY, BUT THEY
NEED THE LIVING WATER.
00:18:52.83\00:18:54.86
WE'VE GOT A MISSION
TO DISPENSE THE GOSPEL.
00:18:54.93\00:18:57.53
WE'RE TO BE A
LIGHT TO THE WORLD.
00:18:57.57\00:18:59.23
AND I KNOW THIS CHURCH TAKES IT
VERY SERIOUSLY, BECAUSE WHAT YOU
00:18:59.27\00:19:04.61
DO NOW IS PREPARING PEOPLE
TO LIVE WHEN PROBATION CLOSES.
00:19:04.64\00:19:12.85
NOW THAT THOUGHT
USED TO MAKE ME SHUDDER.
00:19:12.88\00:19:15.78
IT STILL DOES MAKE
ME TREMBLE A LITTLE BIT.
00:19:15.82\00:19:17.89
RIGHT NOW WE'RE SO THANKFUL THAT
WE MESS UP THEN WE PRAY AND GOD
00:19:17.92\00:19:21.79
FORGIVES US AND
WE CAN TRY IT AGAIN.
00:19:21.82\00:19:25.03
AND WE'RE SO GLAD FOR THE GRACE
OF GOD, BUT YOU REALIZE THAT YOU
00:19:25.06\00:19:27.93
CAN REACH THE
POINT OF NO RETURN.
00:19:27.96\00:19:31.23
THERE'S A TIME - IT HAPPENS IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES - IT CAN HAPPEN
00:19:31.27\00:19:34.00
FOR A WORLD, IT CAN HAPPEN FOR A
NATION - WHEN PROBATION CLOSES.
00:19:34.04\00:19:38.87
YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN BY PROBATION?
00:19:38.91\00:19:41.01
IT'S A TRIAL PERIOD.
GOD HAS GIVEN US MERCY.
00:19:41.04\00:19:44.81
HE'S GIVEN US A PERIOD OF TIME -
IT IS A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME,
00:19:44.85\00:19:47.98
IT WILL NOT LAST FOREVER - WHEN
WE CAN CHOOSE TO COME TO HIM AND
00:19:48.02\00:19:51.39
WE CAN FIND MERCY AND
FORGIVENESS AND TRANSFORMATION.
00:19:51.42\00:19:54.29
BUT SOMEDAY, GOD IS
GOING TO SAY, 'ENOUGH!'
00:19:54.32\00:19:57.63
THE DAY IS GOING TO
COME WHEN MICHAEL STANDS UP.
00:19:57.66\00:20:01.50
THE DAY IS GOING TO COME WHEN
THE SANCTUARY IS SILENT BECAUSE
00:20:01.53\00:20:05.57
THERE'S NO MORE
INTERCESSION THERE.
00:20:05.60\00:20:07.90
IT HAPPENED IN
THE LIFE OF KING SAUL.
00:20:07.94\00:20:10.77
GOD WAS SO MERCIFUL TO HIM FOR
YEARS - HE REIGNED FORTY YEARS -
00:20:10.81\00:20:14.21
PROBABLY TEN YEARS INTO HIS
REIGN HE BEGAN TO GET REBELLIOUS
00:20:14.24\00:20:16.61
AND HE STARTED RESISTING AND NOT
LISTENING TO SAMUEL THE PROPHET
00:20:16.64\00:20:19.71
AND DOING HIS OWN
THING. HE BECAME PROUD.
00:20:19.75\00:20:21.58
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION,
'POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE
00:20:21.62\00:20:24.09
POWER CORRUPTS
ABSOLUTELY'? HE BECAME CORRUPTED
00:20:24.12\00:20:27.79
BY THE POWER. HE
BECAME PROUD AND HE BECAME
00:20:27.82\00:20:29.62
REBELLIOUS AND THE PROPHETS
WOULD TALK TO HIM AND THE
00:20:29.66\00:20:32.83
PRIESTS WOULD TALK TO HIM
AND HE KILLED THE PRIESTS.
00:20:32.86\00:20:36.00
FINALLY, GOD SAID,
'LOOK, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING.
00:20:36.03\00:20:38.13
I'M NOT TALKING ANYMORE.' AND
WHEN HE WAS BEING ATTACKED BY
00:20:38.17\00:20:41.44
THE PHILISTINES, HE
WENT TO TALK TO THE PROPHETS.
00:20:41.47\00:20:43.64
THERE WAS NO WORD.
THE PRIESTS - NO WORD.
00:20:43.67\00:20:46.11
HE PRAYED - NO ANSWER.
FINALLY, HE WENT TO A WITCH.
00:20:46.14\00:20:49.91
SAUL HAD GRIEVED AWAY THE HOLY
SPIRIT AND HE FELL ON HIS OWN
00:20:49.94\00:20:52.61
SWORD. JUDAS
RESISTED THE PATIENT
00:20:52.65\00:20:57.19
PLEADING OF JESUS FOR THREE
AND A HALF YEARS, WALKING WITH
00:20:57.22\00:21:00.96
CHRIST AND NEVER
FULLY SURRENDERING.
00:21:00.99\00:21:02.92
AND JESUS GOT DOWN AND HE'S
WASHING JUDAS' FEET, HOPING THAT
00:21:02.96\00:21:05.89
JUDAS'LL REPENT AND CONFESS
HE'S ABOUT TO BETRAY THE LORD.
00:21:05.93\00:21:09.63
BUT HE HARDENED HIS HEART.
HE THOUGHT, 'IF HE WAS REALLY
00:21:09.66\00:21:11.57
THE MESSIAH, HE WOULDN'T BE
DOWN THERE WASHING MY FEET.' HIS
00:21:11.60\00:21:13.87
PRIDE - HE GAVE INTO HIS
PRIDE. AND THE BIBLE SAYS 'SATAN
00:21:13.90\00:21:18.27
ENTERED HIM AND HE WENT OUT
AND IT WAS NIGHT.' AND THE BIBLE
00:21:18.31\00:21:23.61
WARNS US THAT THERE CAN
COME A TIME WHERE YOU REACH
00:21:23.65\00:21:26.08
THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
YOU KNOW, ARMY HELICOPTERS,
00:21:26.11\00:21:31.62
THEY'VE GOT A
LIGHT THAT COMES ON.
00:21:31.65\00:21:34.06
IF THEY'RE GOING OUT OVER
THE OCEAN - THE COASTGUARD
00:21:34.09\00:21:36.09
HELICOPTER - AND THEY'RE GOING
TO MAKE A RESCUE AT SEA, THEY'VE
00:21:36.12\00:21:39.19
GOT TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO THEIR FUEL BECAUSE HOWEVER
00:21:39.23\00:21:43.33
FAR OUT THEY GET, THEY CAN'T
LAND LIKE A PLANE, YOU KNOW,
00:21:43.37\00:21:47.67
JUST ANYWHERE,
THEY NEED SOLID GROUND.
00:21:47.70\00:21:51.94
AND THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY DON'T USE MORE FUEL
00:21:51.97\00:21:55.01
GOING OUT THAN
THEY HAVE TO COME BACK.
00:21:55.04\00:21:56.51
AS SOON AS THEY'RE GOING OUT ON
A RESCUE, THEY'LL SET WHAT THEIR
00:21:56.54\00:21:58.88
POINT OF NO RETURN IS AND
THEY'LL GET TO A CERTAIN POINT,
00:21:58.91\00:22:02.38
IF THAT RED LIGHT GOES OFF, EVEN
IF THEY SEE THE PERSON THEY NEED
00:22:02.42\00:22:05.32
TO RESCUE IS JUST A HALF A
MILE AWAY, THEY TURN AROUND.
00:22:05.35\00:22:09.39
THEY SAY, 'IF WE RESCUE
YOU, WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT BACK.
00:22:09.42\00:22:11.83
WE'RE ALL GOING TO GO IN THE
BRINK TOGETHER.' IT CAN HAPPEN
00:22:11.86\00:22:15.60
FOR A PERSON WHERE YOU
REACH THE POINT OF NO RETURN.
00:22:15.63\00:22:19.00
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE
PUSHING GOD'S MERCY TOO FAR?
00:22:19.03\00:22:22.47
YOU KEEP SAYING, 'OH, THANK YOU,
LORD, I'M GLAD YOU'RE A MERCIFUL
00:22:22.50\00:22:24.47
GOD. FORGIVE MY
SIN, BUT I PLAN ON
00:22:24.51\00:22:27.04
DOING IT AGAIN TOMORROW, SO
THANKS FOR YOUR MERCY TODAY.'
00:22:27.08\00:22:30.38
IS THAT REAL REPENTANCE?
YOU KEEP DOING THAT AND, IT'S
00:22:30.41\00:22:33.52
NOT THAT GOD WON'T FORGIVE YOU,
IT'S THAT YOU CAN GET WHERE YOU
00:22:33.55\00:22:36.22
LOSE YOUR CAPACITY TO REALLY
REPENT AND YOU CAN REACH THE
00:22:36.25\00:22:40.29
POINT OF NO RETURN SOMEDAY
BY PERSISTING IN YOUR SIN.
00:22:40.32\00:22:44.43
WE TAKE GOD'S MERCY FOR GRANTED
SOMETIMES AND THAT'S A VERY
00:22:44.46\00:22:49.20
DANGEROUS THING TO DO.
MATTER OF FACT, MOST PEOPLE DO.
00:22:49.23\00:22:52.50
'HE IS SO MERCIFUL, HE
IS SO PATIENT, HE IS SO LONG
00:22:52.53\00:22:55.10
SUFFERING. AFTER
ALL, HE'S OUR HEAVENLY
00:22:55.14\00:22:56.81
FATHER, HOW COULD
HE EVER SAY 'NO'?'
00:22:56.84\00:23:00.64
WELL, THE TIME COMES WHERE
HE JUST IS NOT ABLE TO SAVE YOU
00:23:00.68\00:23:04.35
BECAUSE YOU'VE
JUST GONE TOO FAR.
00:23:04.38\00:23:06.75
YOU DON'T WANT
TO GO TO THAT POINT.
00:23:06.78\00:23:09.38
IT NOT ONLY HAPPENED IN THE TIME
OF LOT AND SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:23:09.42\00:23:13.76
FINALLY, THE ANGELS CAME AND
SAID TO LOT AND HIS FAMILY, 'GET
00:23:13.79\00:23:16.76
OUT, FOR GOD IS GOING TO DESTROY
THIS PLACE.' AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN
00:23:16.79\00:23:20.13
THE SUN CAME UP IN SODOM, THEY
THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
00:23:20.16\00:23:24.00
THE FLOWERS WERE SMELLING SWEET
AND THE BIRDS WERE SINGING AND
00:23:24.03\00:23:27.37
YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW
THAT THAT WAS THEIR LAST DAY.
00:23:27.40\00:23:30.11
IT HAPPENED IN THE DAYS OF
NOAH. THE WORLD HAD REACHED
00:23:30.14\00:23:33.84
THE POINT OF NO RETURN. ARE
YOU AWARE THAT GOD TOLD NOAH
00:23:33.88\00:23:37.78
AND HIS FAMILY TO GET ON THE
ARK, AFTER IT WAS BUILT - AND
00:23:37.81\00:23:41.45
GOD SHUT THE DOOR - AND AFTER
GOD SHUT THE DOOR, LIFE WENT ON
00:23:41.48\00:23:45.19
OUTSIDE JUST LIKE EVERY
OTHER DAY, FOR SEVEN DAYS?
00:23:45.22\00:23:49.79
BUT PROBATION HAD CLOSED
AND THEY DIDN'T REALIZE IT.
00:23:49.82\00:23:53.66
IT KIND OF - ISN'T
THAT A TROUBLING THOUGHT?
00:23:53.70\00:23:57.47
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S THE BEST TIME TO REPENT?
00:23:57.50\00:24:04.24
SOMEONE ASKED A RABBI,
'WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST TIME TO
00:24:04.27\00:24:06.51
REPENT?' HE SAID, 'THE
LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.'
00:24:06.54\00:24:09.31
HE SAID, 'OKAY, HOW DO I
KNOW WHICH DAY IS THE LAST DAY?'
00:24:09.34\00:24:13.35
AND THE RABBI SAID, 'EXACTLY.'
(LAUGHTER) SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW,
00:24:13.38\00:24:17.95
THE BEST TIME TO GIVE IT ALL TO
THE LORD AND TAKE THOSE CLASSES
00:24:17.99\00:24:20.82
ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR
GARMENTS CLEAN IS NOW.
00:24:20.86\00:24:24.96
SEE, YOU COME TO THE LORD
THROUGH JUSTIFICATION - HE
00:24:24.99\00:24:28.10
ACCEPTS YOU JUST LIKE YOU ARE.
YOU TURN TO JESUS LIKE THE THIEF
00:24:28.13\00:24:32.10
ON THE CROSS AND HE
PROMISES YOU HE'LL ACCEPT YOU,
00:24:32.13\00:24:36.04
HE'LL FORGIVE YOU.
THEN, IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE
00:24:36.07\00:24:37.87
LORD AND YOU'VE COME TO
HIM, HE SAYS, 'OKAY, PHASE 2,
00:24:37.91\00:24:41.18
SANCTIFICATION. NOW
WE WANT TO TEACH YOU HOW
00:24:41.21\00:24:43.65
TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE.' SO MANY
PEOPLE STOP AT JUSTIFICATION -
00:24:43.68\00:24:48.25
THEY ARE SO THANKFUL THAT GOD
OFFERS TO FORGIVE THEM, BUT THEY
00:24:48.28\00:24:51.15
HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING HOLY.
THAT'S KIND OF A FRIGHTENING
00:24:51.19\00:24:56.06
THING TO CONSIDER, THAT
SOME PEOPLE JUST WANT THE MERCY,
00:24:56.09\00:24:59.89
THEY DON'T WANT THE
POWER TO BE CHANGED.
00:24:59.93\00:25:03.60
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE CHANGED,
FRIENDS, BECAUSE SOME DAY THE
00:25:03.63\00:25:06.30
LAUNDROMAT'S GOING TO CLOSE.
THAT'S WHEN PROBATION CLOSES.
00:25:06.33\00:25:10.91
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THAT IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 12, VERSE 1, "AT
00:25:10.94\00:25:16.41
THAT TIME MICHAEL SHALL STAND
UP," - YOU KNOW, WHEN A JUDGE
00:25:16.44\00:25:19.75
STANDS UP IN A COURT, THAT
MEANS, 'I'M DONE LISTENING TO
00:25:19.78\00:25:21.95
EVIDENCE, I'VE ISSUED MY
VERDICT. CASES ARE CLOSED.
00:25:21.98\00:25:24.75
IT IS OVER.' - "...MICHAEL SHALL
STAND UP, THE GREAT PRINCE WHO
00:25:24.79\00:25:29.09
STANDS WATCH OVER THE SONS OF
YOUR PEOPLE; AND THERE SHALL BE
00:25:29.12\00:25:33.03
A TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER
WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION,
00:25:33.06\00:25:36.46
EVEN TO THAT TIME." WHEN
THERE'S A TIME OF TROUBLE,
00:25:36.50\00:25:42.44
SUCH AS NEVER HAS
BEEN, THAT'S HARD TO IMAGINE.
00:25:42.47\00:25:45.54
REVELATION 22 - YOU CAN READ
ABOUT THIS WHERE JESUS SAID, "HE
00:25:45.57\00:25:48.91
WHO IS UNJUST, LET HIM BE UNJUST
STILL; HE WHO IS FILTHY, LET HIM
00:25:48.94\00:25:52.95
BE FILTHY STILL; HE WHO IS
RIGHTEOUS, LET HIM BE RIGHTEOUS
00:25:52.98\00:25:56.52
STILL; HE WHO IS HOLY,
LET HIM BE HOLY STILL."
00:25:56.55\00:25:59.02
THERE'LL COME A TIME WHEN THE
SAVED ARE SAVED AND THE LOST ARE
00:25:59.05\00:26:02.42
LOST. THE SAVED
ARE SEALED - THEY'VE
00:26:02.46\00:26:04.36
GOT THEIR FATHER'S NAME
WRITTEN IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
00:26:04.39\00:26:06.80
THEY'VE GOT THEIR FATHER'S
NAME WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS AND
00:26:06.83\00:26:09.03
THEIR HANDS AND THEIR
HEADS. AND THE LOST, THEY HAVE
00:26:09.06\00:26:12.20
THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
HAVE YOU READ WHAT REVELATION
00:26:12.23\00:26:14.64
SAYS ABOUT THE
MARK OF THE BEAST?
00:26:14.67\00:26:16.50
THE MOST FEARFUL DENUNCIATIONS
AND CURSES IN THE BIBLE FALLS ON
00:26:16.54\00:26:20.71
THEM. SO WE DON'T WANT TO WAIT
00:26:20.74\00:26:23.58
UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT A TIME
00:26:23.61\00:26:28.28
IN AMOS 12, WHERE THEY'LL
"...WANDER FROM SEA TO SEA , AND
00:26:28.32\00:26:31.22
FROM NORTH TO EAST; THEY SHALL
RUN TO AND FRO, SEEKING THE WORD
00:26:31.25\00:26:34.09
OF THE LORD, BUT
SHALL NOT FIND IT."
00:26:34.12\00:26:36.42
AM I LIVING WHERE
I NEED TO BE LIVING?
00:26:36.46\00:26:39.96
AM I JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF GOD'S JUSTIFICATION, OR AM I
00:26:40.00\00:26:43.60
REALLY WANTING
HIM TO SANCTIFY ME?
00:26:43.63\00:26:46.37
AM I WANTING TO BE A CHRISTIAN
IN NAME OR DO I WANT TO BE A
00:26:46.40\00:26:49.10
CHRISTIAN IN DEED? RIGHT
NOW THE DOORS OF MERCY ARE OPEN
00:26:49.14\00:26:53.98
BUT YOU KNOW, IN EVERYBODY'S
LIFE - PROBATION CLOSES FOR
00:26:54.01\00:26:56.21
EVERYBODY, EVENTUALLY.
YOU WANT TO WALK IN THE LIGHT
00:26:56.24\00:26:59.85

LIGHT, AMEN, FRIENDS?
