>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.76\00:00:05.23
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.27\00:00:07.24
>> HAVE YOU EVER
SEEN A BALD EAGLE'S NEST?
00:00:09.64\00:00:12.37
EAGLES OFTEN USE THE
SAME NEST YEAR AFTER YEAR;
00:00:12.41\00:00:15.64
AND OVER TIME, SOME
NESTS GROW TO ENORMOUS SIZE,
00:00:15.68\00:00:19.21
MANY UP TO 9 FEET IN
DIAMETER AND WEIGHING 2 TONS.
00:00:19.25\00:00:23.59
BOTH PARENTS PROVIDE
WELL FOR THEIR OFFSPRING,
00:00:23.62\00:00:26.12
AND THE YOUNG BIRDS GROW
QUICKLY AS THEY EAT VORACIOUSLY,
00:00:26.15\00:00:29.82
ADDING A POUND EVERY FIVE DAYS.
00:00:29.86\00:00:32.19
BUT EVENTUALLY, THEY MUST LEARN
TO FLY AND HUNT FOR THEMSELVES.
00:00:32.23\00:00:35.60
LIFE FOR YOUNG EAGLES
IS TOUGH, AND TRAGICALLY,
00:00:35.63\00:00:38.27
ONLY 10 TO 20%
SURVIVE TO ADULTHOOD.
00:00:38.30\00:00:41.27
THEY GET ELECTROCUTED
BY LANDING ON WIRES,
00:00:41.30\00:00:43.61
THEY'RE HUNTED BY
POACHERS, HIT BY VEHICLES,
00:00:43.64\00:00:46.24
AND SOMETIMES
THEY SIMPLY STARVE.
00:00:46.27\00:00:48.48
THEY WERE ONCE
DECLARED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES,
00:00:48.51\00:00:51.41
BUT THEY'VE MADE A
SURPRISING COMEBACK.
00:00:51.45\00:00:53.65
BECAUSE OF ITS
GRACE, SPEED, STRENGTH,
00:00:53.68\00:00:56.25
AND ITS SIZE, THE BALD
EAGLE WAS CHOSEN TO SYMBOLIZE
00:00:56.28\00:00:59.92
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:00:59.95\00:01:01.96
NOT ONLY DO NATIONS TODAY
CHOOSE ANIMALS AS THEIR NATIONAL
00:01:01.99\00:01:05.66
MASCOTS OR SYMBOLS, THE BIBLE
ALSO USES DIFFERENT BEASTS TO
00:01:05.69\00:01:10.40
IDENTIFY THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
PROMINENT KINGDOMS IN PROPHECY.
00:01:10.43\00:01:15.10
SO JOIN ME NOW AS WE DISCOVER
WHAT THE BIBLE REALLY SAYS ABOUT
00:01:15.14\00:01:19.07
THE FUTURE OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:01:19.11\00:01:22.04
>>I THINK THAT WE WOULD ALL
AGREE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
00:01:26.28\00:01:29.02
THAT RESEMBLES A WAR
HAPPENING IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF
00:01:29.05\00:01:32.49
THE WORLD RIGHT NOW AND
WE'RE CALLING IT A WAR AGAINST
00:01:32.52\00:01:35.89
TERRORISM. I THINK
EVEN POPE FRANCIS WAS
00:01:35.92\00:01:39.53
QUOTED THIS LAST YEAR AS SAYING,
"IT LOOKS LIKE WORLD WAR III IS
00:01:39.56\00:01:43.37
GOING TO HAPPEN IN
PIECEMEAL ALL OVER THE PLANET."
00:01:43.40\00:01:47.14
AND EVEN THIS WEEK
ANOTHER TERRORIST INCIDENT.
00:01:47.17\00:01:51.34
JUST A FEW FACTS YOU MIGHT BE
INTERESTED IN: LARGEST RELIGION
00:01:51.37\00:01:56.21
IN THE WORLD, WHEN YOU COMBINE
PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS, IS
00:01:56.24\00:01:59.31
CHRISTIANITY.
APPROXIMATELY 2.17 BILLION
00:01:59.35\00:02:03.25
CHRISTIANS IN THE WORLD, OUT
OF - PUSHING 8 BILLION - PEOPLE.
00:02:03.28\00:02:07.49
THERE ARE 1.6
BILLION MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD.
00:02:07.52\00:02:11.79
VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER MAJOR
RELIGION IS EITHER FLAT, AS FAR
00:02:11.83\00:02:15.33
AS GROWTH, OR DECLINING.
BUDDHISM IS DECLINING.
00:02:15.36\00:02:19.47
HINDUISM IS SHOWING FLAT GROWTH.
JUDAISM - A NUMBER OF OTHER
00:02:19.50\00:02:22.80
RELIGIONS - THE TWO RELIGIONS
THAT ARE STILL SHOWING GROWTH
00:02:22.84\00:02:26.61
- CHRISTIANITY AND
ISLAM. ISLAM IS GROWING FASTER.
00:02:26.64\00:02:31.48
HISTORIANS THAT LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENING TODAY REALIZE THIS IS
00:02:31.51\00:02:34.78
NOT A POLITICAL PROBLEM,
IT'S A RELIGIOUS PROBLEM.
00:02:34.82\00:02:39.49
AND SOME HAVE WONDERED, 'DOES
PROPHECY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT
00:02:39.52\00:02:43.29
ISLAM? DOES PROPHECY SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AND
00:02:43.32\00:02:48.46
AMERICA?' AND THIS LESSON IS
GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT
00:02:48.50\00:02:52.23
AND THE ANSWER IS 'YES'.
SO LET'S GET RIGHT INTO SOME
00:02:52.27\00:02:55.77
OF THESE
PROPHECIES HERE IN REVELATION.
00:02:55.80\00:02:58.14
AND THE FIRST ONE IS REVELATION
CHAPTER 13, VERSE 15 - THERE'S A
00:02:58.17\00:03:02.11
VERSE THERE I WANT YOU TO NOTICE
- SPEAKING OF THE BEAST POWER
00:03:02.14\00:03:05.35
THAT YOU FIND IN REVELATION 13
- IT SAYS, "HE WAS GRANTED POWER
00:03:05.38\00:03:10.62
TO GIVE BREATH TO THE IMAGE OF
THE BEAST, THAT THE IMAGE OF THE
00:03:10.65\00:03:13.89
BEAST SHOULD BOTH SPEAK
AND CAUSE AS MANY AS WOULD NOT
00:03:13.92\00:03:18.06
WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF
THE BEAST TO BE KILLED."
00:03:18.09\00:03:22.00
NOW, JUST FROM THAT VERSE RIGHT
THERE, YOU CAN TELL THAT THERE
00:03:22.03\00:03:24.50
IS GOING TO BE SOME CONFLICT
CONNECTED WITH RELIGION.
00:03:24.53\00:03:29.07
IT'S A WAR
CONNECTED WITH WORSHIP.
00:03:29.10\00:03:32.41
AND YOU'VE SEEN IT PLAY
OUT SEVERAL TIMES IN HISTORY.
00:03:32.44\00:03:35.28
LET'S GO INTO THE FIRST QUESTION
AND IT'S GOING TO SET US UP FOR,
00:03:35.31\00:03:38.85
I THINK, WHAT YOU'LL FIND
TO BE A VERY INTERESTING STUDY.
00:03:38.88\00:03:42.25
SO HOW LONG DOES A DAY
REPRESENT IN BIBLICAL TIME?
00:03:42.28\00:03:46.25
WHEN YOU'RE CALCULATING BIBLICAL
PROPHECIES, DOES IT MEAN A DAY
00:03:46.29\00:03:51.49
IS A DAY? >>NO.
00:03:51.53\00:03:53.26
>>SO WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT
THIS THREE AND A HALF YEARS - 42
00:03:53.29\00:03:57.83
MONTHS - ONE THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND SIXTY DAYS - YOU
00:03:57.87\00:04:00.57
REALIZE THAT THAT IS A TIME
PROPHECY GIVEN MORE DIFFERENT
00:04:00.60\00:04:02.47
WAYS - YOU NOT ONLY FIND IT
IN REVELATION 13, REVELATION 12,
00:04:02.50\00:04:07.61
DANIEL CHAPTER 7 - THIS IS A
TIME PERIOD FOUND SEVERAL TIMES
00:04:07.64\00:04:11.78
IN THE BIBLE. SO WHAT DOES A DAY
00:04:11.81\00:04:14.28
EQUAL IN PROPHECY?
SEVERAL VERSES SHARE WITH THAT.
00:04:14.32\00:04:17.69
IF YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
THE BOOK OF NUMBERS CHAPTER 14,
00:04:17.72\00:04:20.36
VERSE 34, YOU CAN READ THERE:
"ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF THE
00:04:20.39\00:04:24.03
DAYS IN WHICH YOU SPIED OUT THE
LAND, FORTY DAYS, FOR EACH DAY
00:04:24.06\00:04:28.26
YOU SHALL BEAR YOUR GUILT
ONE YEAR, NAMELY FORTY YEARS."
00:04:28.30\00:04:31.87
PERHAPS YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE
SPIES FIRST WENT - TWELVE SPIES
00:04:31.90\00:04:34.84
- TO LOOK AT THE PROMISED LAND,
THEY CAME BACK AND THEY GAVE A
00:04:34.87\00:04:37.47
DISCOURAGING REPORT. GOD SAID,
'WELL, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT HAVE
00:04:37.51\00:04:41.51
FAITH, FOR EVERY DAY YOU
SPIED THE LAND YOU'RE GOING
00:04:41.54\00:04:43.45
TO WANDER IN THE WILDERNESS
A YEAR' - A DAY FOR A YEAR.
00:04:43.48\00:04:46.72
AND THEN YOU CAN ALSO HEAR THAT
IN EZEKIEL 4:6 - THAT "I HAVE
00:04:46.75\00:04:51.02
LAID ON YOU A
DAY FOR EACH YEAR."
00:04:51.05\00:04:54.06
JESUS USED THIS PRINCIPLE - LUKE
CHAPTER 13 - SOMEONE CAME TO
00:04:54.09\00:04:57.56
JESUS AND THEY SAID, 'YOU KNOW,
HEROD IS GOING TO ARREST YOU,
00:04:57.59\00:05:01.46
JUST LIKE HE KILLED JOHN THE
BAPTIST.' JESUS SAID, 'GO TELL
00:05:01.50\00:05:04.63
THAT FOX THAT I TEACH AND DO
CURES AND CAST OUT DEVILS TODAY,
00:05:04.67\00:05:10.74
AND TOMORROW, AND THE THIRD DAY
I WILL BE PERFECTED.' WELL THIS
00:05:10.77\00:05:14.48
IS EARLY IN JESUS' MINISTRY.
HE DID NOT TEACH THREE MORE
00:05:14.51\00:05:16.81
DAYS, HE TAUGHT
THREE MORE YEARS.
00:05:16.85\00:05:19.91
THAT WAS A PROPHECY CHRIST MADE
AND IT WAS EXACTLY FULFILLED
00:05:19.95\00:05:24.75
THAT WAY - THREE MORE YEARS
- JESUS USED A DAY FOR A YEAR.
00:05:24.79\00:05:27.26
SO WITH THAT PRINCIPLE IN MIND,
HOW LONG DOES IT SAY THERE IN
00:05:27.29\00:05:31.59
REVELATION CHAPTER 13, WOULD
THIS BEAST POWER RULE BEFORE IT
00:05:31.63\00:05:36.70
RECEIVES A DEADLY
WOUND - BEFORE IT'S WOUNDED?
00:05:36.73\00:05:39.83
IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 13,
VERSE 5, IT SAYS, "...AND HE WAS
00:05:39.87\00:05:43.54
GIVEN AUTHORITY TO
CONTINUE FOR FORTY-TWO MONTHS."
00:05:43.57\00:05:48.78
NOW THAT NUMBER - KEEP IN MIND,
IN THE JEWISH CALENDAR - THEY
00:05:48.81\00:05:54.72
HAD A LUNAR CALENDAR, IT
WASN'T THE ROMAN CALENDAR.
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.92
THEY FIGURED
THIRTY DAYS TO THE MONTH.
00:05:57.95\00:06:01.89
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
DAYS TO THE YEAR AND THEN THEY'D
00:06:01.92\00:06:04.76
COMPENSATE BY ADDING ANOTHER
MONTH EVERY FEW YEARS SO THAT IT
00:06:04.79\00:06:07.96
WOULD EVEN OUT WITH THE SEASONS.
THAT NUMBER - FORTY-TWO MONTHS -
00:06:08.00\00:06:13.37
COMES TO THREE AND A HALF YEARS
OR 1,260 DAYS WHICH, BY THE WAY,
00:06:13.40\00:06:20.71
IS EXACTLY HALF OF SEVEN
- THREE AND A HALF YEARS IS
00:06:20.74\00:06:24.75
HALF OF SEVEN YEARS.
YOU'LL FIND THAT NUMBER SEVERAL
00:06:24.78\00:06:28.25
TIMES AND IT'S OFTEN
ASSOCIATED WITH PERSECUTION.
00:06:28.28\00:06:31.62
THREE AND A HALF YEARS - JESUS
IS CRUCIFIED - THREE AND A HALF
00:06:31.65\00:06:35.02
YEARS AFTER THAT STEPHEN
IS STONED - THE FIRST MARTYR.
00:06:35.06\00:06:38.39
AND SO, WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT
THREE AND A HALF YEARS THERE IN
00:06:38.43\00:06:40.70
REVELATION, IT IS A TIME
OF DARKNESS AND PERSECUTION.
00:06:40.73\00:06:44.60
ALRIGHT, WHEN DID THE TIME
PERIOD FOR THE BEAST RULE BEGIN?
00:06:44.63\00:06:50.01
AND YOU FIND THE ANSWER FOR THAT
IN HISTORY BECAUSE YOU CAN LOOK
00:06:50.04\00:06:53.98
AT HISTORY AND IT'S AFTER
BIBLE TIMES WERE WRITTEN. THE
00:06:54.01\00:06:58.31
LEGALIZED - THE
LEGALLY RECOGNIZED SUPREMACY
00:06:58.35\00:07:01.18
OF THE POPE BEGAN IN 538 A.D.
WHEN THERE WENT INTO EFFECT A
00:07:01.22\00:07:06.35
DECREE OF EMPEROR JUSTINIAN
MAKING THE BISHOP OF ROME,
00:07:06.39\00:07:10.66
BETTER KNOWN AS THE POPE,
HEAD OVER THE CHURCHES AND THE
00:07:10.69\00:07:13.66
DEFINER OF DOCTRINES AND
THE CORRECTOR OF HERETICS.
00:07:13.70\00:07:17.60
AND YOU CAN ALSO READ THERE
VIGILIUS ASCENDED THE PAPAL
00:07:17.63\00:07:21.27
CHAIR 538 A.D. UNDER
THE MILITARY PROTECTION OF
00:07:21.30\00:07:24.74
BELISARIUS. NOW WHAT WAS
GOING ON IS JUSTINIAN, THE ROMAN
00:07:24.77\00:07:29.48
EMPEROR, HE MOVED THE CAPITAL
OF ROME TO CONSTANTINOPLE.
00:07:29.51\00:07:35.75
HE MADE THE POPE IN ROME THE
LEADER OF THE CHURCH AND HE GAVE
00:07:35.78\00:07:40.09
HIM A MILITARY AND CALLED
HIM THE CORRECTOR OF HERETICS SO
00:07:40.12\00:07:43.76
THAT HE COULD NOW USE CIVIL
POWER TO ENFORCE THE RELIGION.
00:07:43.79\00:07:49.20
DID JESUS EVER SAY THAT,
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE
00:07:49.23\00:07:51.83
CIVIL POWER TO
MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE?
00:07:51.87\00:07:53.87
>>NO. >>NOW THAT'S A VERY
00:07:53.90\00:07:55.50
IMPORTANT POINT. I'LL SAY
MORE ABOUT THAT A LITTLE LATER.
00:07:55.54\00:07:59.57
THIS WAS A TURNING POINT.
THAT HAPPENED IN 538, WHERE
00:07:59.61\00:08:02.28
CHRISTIANITY SUDDENLY BECAME
A POWER THAT BEGAN TO PERSECUTE,
00:08:02.31\00:08:06.25
WHERE IT USED TO BE A
POWER MOTIVATED BY LOVE.
00:08:06.28\00:08:08.55
JESUS SAID, 'FOLLOW ME' - IF
SOMEONE DIDN'T WANT TO FOLLOW
00:08:08.58\00:08:10.39
HIM, THEY TURNED
AND THEY WALKED AWAY.
00:08:10.42\00:08:13.09
AND SO, I THINK THAT Y'ALL
UNDERSTAND - THAT WAS A CHANGE.
00:08:13.12\00:08:19.13
GOD - JESUS DOESN'T WANT US TO
USE FORCE TO MAKE PEOPLE OBEY.
00:08:19.16\00:08:21.93
YOU CAN ALSO READ HERE IN
ABBOTT'S ROMAN HISTORY , "THE
00:08:21.96\00:08:24.53
TRANSFER OF THE EMPEROR'S
RESIDENCE TO CONSTANTINOPLE WAS
00:08:24.57\00:08:28.77
A SAD BLOW TO
THE PRESTIGE OF ROME.
00:08:28.80\00:08:31.61
AND, AT THE SAME TIME, ONE
MIGHT HAVE PREDICTED HER SPEEDY
00:08:31.64\00:08:35.54
DECLINE" - THE
DECLINE OF THE CITY OF ROME.
00:08:35.58\00:08:37.95
BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH AND
00:08:37.98\00:08:41.08
THE GROWING AUTHORITY OF THE
BISHOP OF ROME - OR THE POPE -
00:08:41.12\00:08:44.49
GAVE HER A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.
IT MADE HER AGAIN THE CAPITAL.
00:08:44.52\00:08:49.12
THIS TIME, NOT THE POLITICAL
OR MILITARY CAPITAL, BUT THE
00:08:49.16\00:08:52.79
RELIGIOUS CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
00:08:52.83\00:08:55.43
THERE WAS A TRANSFERENCE THAT
TOOK PLACE DURING THAT TIME.
00:08:55.46\00:08:59.37
READING ON A LITTLE MORE, "TO
THE SUCCESSION OF THE CAESARS
00:08:59.40\00:09:03.77
CAME THE SUCCESSION
OF THE PONTIFFS IN ROME.
00:09:03.81\00:09:06.61
WHEN CONSTANTINE LEFT ROME, HE
GAVE HIS SEAT TO THE PONTIFF."
00:09:06.64\00:09:10.78
NOW, THAT'S AN INTERESTING QUOTE
FROM HISTORY BECAUSE YOU CAN
00:09:10.81\00:09:14.48
ACTUALLY READ IN THE BIBLE, IN
REVELATION 13, IT SAYS THAT THE
00:09:14.52\00:09:18.92
BEAST POWER RECEIVES
ITS SEAT FROM THE DRAGON.
00:09:18.95\00:09:23.79
THE ROMAN POWER, RULED BY
THE CAESARS, LEFT TOWN AND SAID,
00:09:23.83\00:09:29.33
'WE'RE GOING TO VACATE OUR
THRONE HERE, BUT YOU CAN HAVE
00:09:29.36\00:09:32.73
OUR THRONE; WE'RE MOVING TO
ANOTHER TOWN.' AND INSTEAD OF
00:09:32.77\00:09:36.27
ROME BEING THE POWER THAT RULED
THE WORLD WITH CIVIL POWER OR
00:09:36.30\00:09:41.78
MILITARY POWER, NOW IT WAS
RULING THROUGH RELIGIOUS POWER.
00:09:41.81\00:09:45.68
538 A.D. - IT'S A VERY
EASILY WELL-ESTABLISHED DATE IN
00:09:45.71\00:09:49.55
HISTORY. HOW LONG IS 1,260 DAYS
00:09:49.58\00:09:54.39
IN BIBLICAL PROPHECY? 1,260
YEARS. IF YOU GO 1,260 YEARS,
00:09:54.42\00:10:02.40
YOU COME TO WHERE? >>1798
00:10:02.43\00:10:04.50
>>1798. I WONDER
WHAT'S GOING ON THEN.
00:10:04.53\00:10:08.07
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
BEAST AFTER 42 MONTHS?
00:10:08.10\00:10:12.24
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 13,
IT SAYS, 'I SAW ONE OF ITS HEADS
00:10:12.27\00:10:16.04
AS IT WAS WOUNDED TO DEATH AND
HIS DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED AND
00:10:16.08\00:10:19.85
ALL THE WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE
BEAST.' IT AT LEAST RECEIVES A
00:10:19.88\00:10:23.82
DEADLY WOUND. IT'S
POWER IS INTERRUPTED.
00:10:23.85\00:10:26.62
INSTEAD OF IT HAVING SUCH GREAT
CONTROL AND INFLUENCE AND BEING
00:10:26.65\00:10:30.66
- IT WASN'T JUST A RELIGIOUS
POWER, IT WAS A CIVIL POWER OVER
00:10:30.69\00:10:35.23
ALL OF EUROPE AND EVEN PARTS
BEYOND - IT STARTED TO REACH
00:10:35.26\00:10:39.73
INTO SOUTH AMERICA AT THAT POINT
TOO - AND CENTRAL AMERICA - IT
00:10:39.77\00:10:43.00
WOULD BE WOUNDED - IT
WOULD LOSE SOME OF THAT POWER.
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.97
WHAT DOES
HISTORY TELL US HAPPENED?
00:10:46.01\00:10:48.28
IN 1798 - ANYONE EVER
HEARD OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE?
00:10:48.31\00:10:52.35
HE WAS SWEEPING ACROSS EUROPE.
IT WAS NOT A RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT.
00:10:52.38\00:10:57.65
IT WAS A VERY SECULAR MOVEMENT.
00:10:57.69\00:11:01.79
HE SENT HIS GENERAL, BERTHIER,
INTO ROME AND THROUGH HIS
00:11:01.82\00:11:06.59
ENTRANCE IN ROME, HE ABOLISHED
THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT AND
00:11:06.63\00:11:09.96
ESTABLISHED A SECULAR ONE.
IT RECEIVED A DEADLY WOUND.
00:11:10.00\00:11:13.80
THE BIBLE SAYS IN REVELATION
13:10, 'HE THAT LEADS INTO
00:11:13.84\00:11:16.94
CAPTIVITY WILL GO INTO CAPTIVITY
AND HE THAT KILLS WITH THE SWORD
00:11:16.97\00:11:20.58
WILL BE KILLED WITH THE SWORD.'
AND THE TABLES WERE SORT OF
00:11:20.61\00:11:24.35
TURNED; INSTEAD OF THE
INQUISITION AND THEM HAVING SO
00:11:24.38\00:11:26.88
MUCH POWER TO TORTURE AND FORCE
PEOPLE TO CONVERT, AND THERE WAS
00:11:26.92\00:11:33.56
A PERSECUTION AGAINST THE
PROTESTANTS - THE POPE WAS
00:11:33.59\00:11:36.19
CARRIED OFF INTO VALANCE, FRANCE
TO A FORTRESS CITY AND HE DIED
00:11:36.22\00:11:39.36
IN PRISON THERE.
AND, FOR OVER 130 YEARS,
00:11:39.39\00:11:43.60
THEY LOST THEIR CIVIL
POWER. BUT IT SAID IT WOULD BE
00:11:43.63\00:11:46.77
TEMPORARY. IT SAID
THE DEADLY WOUND WOULD
00:11:46.80\00:11:49.74
BE HEALED AND ALL
THE WORLD WOULD WONDER.
00:11:49.77\00:11:53.54
YOU LOOK IN HISTORY AND IN 1929
THERE WAS A FELLOW NAMED BENITO
00:11:53.58\00:11:59.08
MUSSOLINI - ANYONE REMEMBER?
YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING OLD.
00:11:59.11\00:12:04.32
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER WORLD WAR
II - NOT TOO MANY LEFT ANYMORE -
00:12:04.35\00:12:09.09
MUSSOLINI, HE MADE
A DEAL WITH THE POPE.
00:12:09.12\00:12:12.43
HE SAID, 'LOOK, I NEED
YOU TO ENDORSE ME POLITICALLY.
00:12:12.46\00:12:15.26
IF YOU AGREE TO ENDORSE ME
POLITICALLY, SO THAT MY STATION
00:12:15.30\00:12:19.30
WILL GROW, WE WILL AGAIN
GIVE YOU YOUR INDEPENDENCE AS A
00:12:19.33\00:12:23.61
COUNTRY FOR THE VATICAN.
WE WILL MAKE YOU, ONCE AGAIN,
00:12:23.64\00:12:25.84
A CIVIL POWER AS WELL AS
RELIGIOUS, SO THAT YOU CAN SEND
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.61
YOUR AMBASSADORS
AROUND THE WORLD.
00:12:29.64\00:12:31.65
AND SO THEY
SIGNED THE LATERAN PACT .
00:12:31.68\00:12:34.18
AND THEY AGAIN BEGAN
TO EXERCISE THEIR POWER.
00:12:34.22\00:12:39.09
IT SAYS, "THE ROMAN QUESTION
TONIGHT WAS A THING OF THE PAST
00:12:39.12\00:12:41.86
AND THE VATICAN WAS
AT PEACE WITH ITALY."
00:12:41.89\00:12:44.29
IT SAYS, "IN AFFIXING AUTOGRAPHS
TO THE MEMORABLE DOCUMENT,
00:12:44.33\00:12:47.40
HEALING THE WOUND..." - EVEN
USING THE VERY SAME WORDING.
00:12:47.40\00:12:51.57
AND AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING
ON IN THE WORLD TODAY, WOULD YOU
00:12:51.60\00:12:54.47
SAY THAT THEY'VE RETURNED
TO, NOT JUST EUROPEAN, BUT
00:12:54.50\00:12:58.34
INTERNATIONAL
PROMINENCE AS A POWER?
00:12:58.37\00:13:01.18
>> DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:13:02.48\00:13:03.78
WE'LL BE BACK IN
JUST A MOMENT FOR THE REST
00:13:03.81\00:13:05.58

MOST POWERFUL ECONOMIC AND
MILITARY NATIONS IN HISTORY.
00:13:11.39\00:13:15.46
BUT HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED
IF THE BIBLE HAS ANYTHING
00:13:15.49\00:13:18.79
TO SAY ABOUT THE
U.S. IN BIBLE PROPHECY?
00:13:18.83\00:13:21.90

WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND
00:14:11.91\00:14:14.95
LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:14.98\00:14:17.49
WHAT POWER WILL SUPPORT
THE BEAST IN THE END TIME?
00:14:18.92\00:14:23.19
HERE'S WHERE IT GETS
INTERESTING, FRIENDS.
00:14:23.22\00:14:25.33
REVELATION 13:11 IT SAYS, "AND
I BEHELD ANOTHER BEAST COMING UP
00:14:25.36\00:14:29.00
OUT OF THE EARTH;" - NOW, THE
FIRST BEAST COMES UP OUT OF THE
00:14:29.03\00:14:32.17
SEA; THIS BEAST
COMES UP OUT OF THE EARTH.
00:14:32.20\00:14:35.64
AND HE HAS TWO
HORNS LIKE A LAMB.
00:14:35.67\00:14:38.01
QUESTION, IS A LAMB A GOOD THING
OR A BAD THING, IN REVELATION?
00:14:38.04\00:14:41.91
WHAT DID JOHN THE
BAPTIST SAY ABOUT JESUS?
00:14:41.94\00:14:44.28
'BEHOLD THE' - >>LAMB.
00:14:44.31\00:14:45.98
>>"LAMB OF GOD THAT TAKES
AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD."
00:14:46.01\00:14:48.35
LAMB'S GOOD - TWO HORNS LIKE A
LAMB AND HE SPOKE LIKE A DRAGON.
00:14:48.38\00:14:51.82
QUESTION, IS THE DRAGON A
GOOD THING OR A BAD THING IN
00:14:51.85\00:14:53.59
REVELATION?
00:14:53.62\00:14:54.92
>>BAD THING. SO IT
STARTS OUT SOUNDING GOOD,
00:14:54.96\00:14:58.16
LIKE A LAMB;
ENDS UP LIKE A DRAGON.
00:14:58.19\00:15:01.06
NOW WHAT IS THIS
SECOND BEAST IN REVELATION?
00:15:01.10\00:15:06.17
I BELIEVE IT
REPRESENTS NORTH AMERICA.
00:15:06.20\00:15:10.01
MORE
SPECIFICALLY, THE UNITED STATES.
00:15:10.04\00:15:12.54
YOU NOTICE, WHEN THAT TIME
PERIOD THAT WE LOOKED AT - IT
00:15:12.57\00:15:15.51
REACHED FROM 538 -
WHO REMEMBERS THAT NUMBER?
00:15:15.54\00:15:18.11
1,260 YEARS FROM
538 COMES TO 1798.
00:15:18.15\00:15:23.12
WE ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN EUROPE; WHAT WAS
00:15:23.15\00:15:25.32
HAPPENING OVER HERE IN
1798? THE UNITED STATES DECLARED
00:15:25.35\00:15:29.66
ITS INDEPENDENCE IN WHEN? 1776.
00:15:29.69\00:15:34.36
IT VOTED THE
CONSTITUTION IN 1787.
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.97
IT ADOPTED THE BILL OF RIGHTS IN
1791 AND WAS FINALLY RECOGNIZED
00:15:38.00\00:15:43.81
BY THE OTHER MAJOR EMPIRES AND
COUNTRIES, AS A SEPARATE WORLD
00:15:43.84\00:15:47.98
POWER, IN 1798.
00:15:48.01\00:15:50.08
THE REASON IT SAYS THIS SECOND
00:15:51.01\00:15:52.51
BEAST ROSE UP OUT OF THE EARTH
IS BECAUSE, COMPARED TO THE
00:15:52.55\00:15:57.39
TEEMING MULTITUDES IN EUROPE,
THIS WAS A VAST WILDERNESS.
00:15:57.42\00:16:02.02
THERE WERE STILL MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE HERE, BUT IT WAS
00:16:02.06\00:16:04.29
COMPARATIVELY VERY
SPARSELY POPULATED. AND
00:16:04.33\00:16:08.26
WITH THE MASSIVE IMMIGRATIONS
THAT CAME FROM ENGLAND, SPAIN,
00:16:08.30\00:16:14.00
AND THE NETHERLANDS TO THE NEW
WORLD - AND PORTUGAL - THINGS
00:16:14.04\00:16:18.14
CHANGED VERY QUICKLY. IT
SAYS HE SPOKE LIKE A DRAGON.
00:16:18.17\00:16:22.98
HOW DOES A COUNTRY
SPEAK? A NATION SPEAKS THROUGH
00:16:23.01\00:16:27.08
ITS LEGISLATIVE BODY.
THIS COUNTRY THAT STARTED LIKE
00:16:27.12\00:16:31.12
A LAMB, ENDS UP
SPEAKING LIKE A DRAGON.
00:16:31.15\00:16:33.22
WHAT ARE THOSE TWO
HORNS 'LIKE A LAMB'?
00:16:33.25\00:16:35.82
THE TWO THINGS THAT GAVE AMERICA
SUCCESS AND POWER IS THAT WE HAD
00:16:35.86\00:16:39.53
A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT A KING AND
WE HAD A CHURCH WITHOUT A POPE -
00:16:39.56\00:16:43.97
FREEDOM OF RELIGION;
FREEDOM OF GOVERNMENT.
00:16:44.00\00:16:49.74
HE EXERCISES ALL THE POWER OF
THE FIRST BEAST BEFORE HIM AND
00:16:49.77\00:16:54.71
HE FORCES THOSE WHO DWELL
THEREIN TO WORSHIP THE FIRST
00:16:54.74\00:16:58.38
BEAST WHO HAD THE WOUND
BY THE SWORD BUT WAS HEALED.
00:16:58.41\00:17:03.55
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU
REMEMBER THIS COVER FROM A TIME
00:17:03.59\00:17:05.85
MAGAZINE BACK IN 1982 - IT WAS
FINALLY REVEALED HOW INVOLVED
00:17:05.89\00:17:10.53
THE U.S. WAS WITH
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN
00:17:10.56\00:17:13.96
HELPING OVERTHROW
THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
00:17:14.00\00:17:17.47
IT TALKS ABOUT THIS MEETING THAT
RONALD REAGAN HAD WITH POPE JOHN
00:17:17.50\00:17:20.77
PAUL II, AND THEY
AGREED THAT THE U.S.
00:17:20.80\00:17:23.41
SENT TONS OF COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT INTO POLAND TO HELP
00:17:23.44\00:17:27.14
SOLIDARITY, WITH LECH WALESA,
OVERTHROW COMMUNISM IN THAT
00:17:27.18\00:17:30.41
COUNTRY. AND ONCE
THAT HAPPENED, THE
00:17:30.45\00:17:31.91
DOMINOS BEGAN TO FALL
AND IT JUST COLLAPSED.
00:17:31.95\00:17:34.75
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS
ORCHESTRATED AND IT'S ALL - IT
00:17:34.78\00:17:38.02
ALL CAME OUT BETWEEN - MATTER
OF FACT, YOU GO TO POLAND YOU'LL
00:17:38.05\00:17:40.19
SEE A PICTURE. RONALD
REAGAN - THERE'S A BRONZE
00:17:40.22\00:17:43.06
OF IT UP ON THE SCREEN - RONALD
REAGAN WALKING WITH JOHN PAUL II
00:17:43.09\00:17:46.59
BECAUSE THEY GIVE THEM CREDIT
FOR HELPING OVERTHROW COMMUNISM
00:17:46.63\00:17:50.80
IN THEIR COUNTRY AND
HELPING THEM TO ACHIEVE FREEDOM.
00:17:50.83\00:17:53.37
THIS IS JUST PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
YOU KNOW, I JUST CAN'T FORGET
00:17:53.40\00:17:56.44
THIS PICTURE THAT WHEN POPE JOHN
PAUL II DIED AND HERE YOU'VE GOT
00:17:56.47\00:17:59.57
SEVERAL PRESIDENTS
THAT WERE THERE KNEELING.
00:17:59.61\00:18:04.88
THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT
FROM THE WAY THINGS USED TO BE.
00:18:04.91\00:18:09.12
AMERICA, PHILOSOPHICALLY, WAS IN
A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE THAN THE
00:18:09.15\00:18:14.86
PAPACY. WE'RE ALL
ABOUT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
00:18:14.89\00:18:18.79
YOU KNOW, WHEN AMERICA - WHEN
AMERICA WAS FIRST FORMED, THEY
00:18:18.83\00:18:22.46
ACTUALLY TRIED TO TELL
PEOPLE WHAT DAY TO GO TO CHURCH.
00:18:22.50\00:18:25.57
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE
SUNDAY LAWS ON OUR BOOKS.
00:18:25.60\00:18:27.37
THERE WAS A PASTOR, WHO WAS ALSO
A LEADER, NAMED ROGER WILLIAMS
00:18:27.40\00:18:31.21
AND HE SAID,
'YOU'RE MISUNDERSTANDING.
00:18:31.24\00:18:33.61
IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF WHETHER
WE FORCE PEOPLE TO KEEP THE TEN
00:18:33.64\00:18:36.24
COMMANDMENTS, BUT WHICH ONES.'
HE SAID, 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:18:36.28\00:18:39.85
ARE WRITTEN ON
TWO TABLES OF STONE.
00:18:39.88\00:18:41.82
THE FIRST FOUR ARE OUR PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, THE LAST
00:18:41.85\00:18:45.95
SIX DEAL WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH OUR FELLOW MAN.'
00:18:45.99\00:18:48.79
HE SAID, 'YOU CANNOT HAVE A
GOVERNMENT THAT TELLS PEOPLE HOW
00:18:48.82\00:18:51.63
TO KEEP THE FIRST FOUR.'
YOU MUST DECIDE HOW YOU WORSHIP
00:18:51.66\00:18:56.03
YOUR GOD, WHO YOUR GOD
IS, WHEN YOU WORSHIP HIM,
00:18:56.06\00:18:58.57
WHAT HIS NAME IS. YOU
DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE
00:18:58.60\00:19:01.20
TELLING YOU THAT, DO YOU? >>NO.
00:19:01.24\00:19:03.20
>>BUT YOU DON'T WANT A
GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT ENFORCE
00:19:03.24\00:19:06.57
'YOU DON'T STEAL, YOU DON'T
LIE, DOESN'T RESPECT PARENTAL
00:19:06.61\00:19:10.55
RIGHTS,' - THE LAST SIX
COMMANDMENTS ARE CIVIL - THEY
00:19:10.58\00:19:15.22
NEED TO BE
SUPPORTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
00:19:15.25\00:19:18.05
YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
YOU KNOW WHY EVERYTHING
00:19:18.09\00:19:20.56
COSTS SO MUCH?
BECAUSE EVERYBODY COVETS
00:19:20.59\00:19:22.39
EVERYBODY'S STUFF AND
THEY'RE SUING EVERYBODY.
00:19:22.42\00:19:25.36
AND SO ROGER
WILLIAMS UNDERSTOOD THAT.
00:19:25.39\00:19:29.20
WELL, RIGHT NOW, I'M HEARING IS
PEOPLE SAY 'COMPLETELY GET RID
00:19:29.23\00:19:31.83
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS',
WHICH IS A BAD IDEA, OR 'FORCE
00:19:31.87\00:19:34.30
EVERYBODY TO KEEP ALL OF THEM',
WHICH IS TELLING YOU WHO TO
00:19:34.34\00:19:36.44
WORSHIP. AND IF
WE'D GO BACK AND REALIZE
00:19:36.47\00:19:39.34
WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
UNDERSTOOD WAS THE BEST FORMULA
00:19:39.37\00:19:43.11
- THAT'S WHY GOD PUT
THEM ON TWO DIFFERENT TABLES.
00:19:43.14\00:19:46.48
IT SAYS HE CAUSES "THE EARTH
AND THEM THAT DWELL THEREIN TO
00:19:46.51\00:19:49.82
WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST,
WHOSE DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED."
00:19:49.85\00:19:54.72
YOU KNOW, YOU JUST CAN'T GET
OVER SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SAW
00:19:54.76\00:19:57.33
HAPPEN JUST A FEW MONTHS
AGO - THIS HISTORIC TRIP OF POPE
00:19:57.36\00:20:05.43
FRANCIS TO THE UNITED STATES
- THERE WAS NO IMPORTANT PLACE -
00:20:05.47\00:20:08.94
SIGNIFICANT
PLACE - THAT HE MISSED.
00:20:08.97\00:20:11.21
HE WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE,
SPOKE TO OUR GREATEST AUGUST
00:20:11.24\00:20:15.94
BODY - CONGRESS, THE SENATORS,
EVERYBODY - STANDING OVATION.
00:20:15.98\00:20:21.42
WOULD THEY DO THAT FOR A PASTOR?
GOES TO THE UNITED NATIONS.
00:20:21.45\00:20:28.09
GOES TO PHILADELPHIA WHERE OUR
GOVERNMENT WAS FOUNDED - IT WAS
00:20:28.12\00:20:32.16
ALL VERY - AND WENT TO THE 9/11
MEMORIAL - HAD A JOINT RELIGIOUS
00:20:32.19\00:20:35.76
SERVICE AT THE 9/11 MEMORIAL,
SHOWING SOLIDARITY WITH THE
00:20:35.80\00:20:38.30
UNITED STATES AGAINST -
WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT 9/11?
00:20:38.33\00:20:41.80
WASN'T IT SOME OF
THIS WAR ON WORSHIP?
00:20:41.84\00:20:45.27
NOBODY WANTS TO SAY THAT
BUT WE ALL KNOW IT WAS RELIGIOUS
00:20:45.31\00:20:48.54
ZEALOTS THAT DID THIS - THAT
WERE READY TO DIE FOR WHAT THEY
00:20:48.58\00:20:53.15
BELIEVED, CRAZY AS IT
WAS. AND SO, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING
00:20:53.18\00:20:59.32
HAPPENING, IS A HAND BEING
REACHED ACROSS THE ATLANTIC,
00:20:59.35\00:21:05.53
BOTH WAYS, TO BUILD SOME
SOLIDARITY. "THEY SHOULD MAKE AN
00:21:05.56\00:21:10.63
IMAGE TO THE BEAST, WHICH HAD
THE WOUND BY A SWORD, AND DID
00:21:10.67\00:21:14.14
LIVE." NOW WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS THAT WHAT THE BEAST WAS
00:21:14.17\00:21:20.01
DOING DURING THAT 1,260 YEARS
OF USING CIVIL POWER TO FORCE
00:21:20.04\00:21:26.28
RELIGION, IS
GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
00:21:26.31\00:21:29.02
THERE ARE GOING TO BE RELIGIOUS
LAWS THAT WILL GO AGAINST THE
00:21:29.05\00:21:32.12
LAW OF GOD AND EVERY CHILD OF
GOD IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A
00:21:32.15\00:21:35.56
DECISION: DO
YOU OBEY GOD OR MAN?
00:21:35.59\00:21:38.69
WHO IS GOING TO BE
FIRST IN YOUR LIFE?
00:21:38.73\00:21:40.96
AND THE DECISION SHADRACH,
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO HAD TO
00:21:40.96\00:21:43.83
MAKE, AND DANIEL HAD TO MAKE,
WHETHER HE WAS GOING TO GO TO
00:21:43.87\00:21:46.50
THE LION'S DEN OR COMPROMISE HIS
FAITH, EVERY BELIEVER IS GOING
00:21:46.53\00:21:50.47
TO HAVE TO MAKE. IF I
WAS THE DEVIL, LET ME TELL
00:21:50.51\00:21:53.27
YOU WHAT I'D DO. NOW
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND, I'M NOT.
00:21:53.31\00:21:56.14
(LAUGHTER) BUT IF I WAS - I HOPE
NOT. IF THE IDEA IS TO TRY TO
00:21:56.18\00:22:04.15
GET GOD'S PEOPLE TO BREAK THE
LAW OF GOD - DOESN'T THE DEVIL
00:22:04.19\00:22:07.69
WANT US TO SIN? >>YES.
00:22:07.72\00:22:09.49
>>BIBLE SAYS HE'S COME DOWN WITH
GREAT WRATH BECAUSE HIS TIME IS
00:22:09.52\00:22:11.29
SHORT. HE WANTS
TO GET US TO SIN.
00:22:11.33\00:22:13.43
AND, YOU KNOW, IN DANIEL CHAPTER
3 HE TRIED TO GET THEM TO BREAK
00:22:13.46\00:22:16.87
THE LAW ABOUT IDOLATRY.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONE,
00:22:16.90\00:22:20.00
BECAUSE IF YOU BREAK
ONE, YOU'RE GUILTY OF ALL.
00:22:20.04\00:22:21.80
JAMES - IN DANIEL CHAPTER
6 IT WAS THE LAW - THE FIRST
00:22:21.84\00:22:25.97
COMMANDMENT -
DON'T HAVE OTHER GODS.
00:22:26.01\00:22:28.78
AND SINCE IT'S GOING TO BE
SOMETHING THAT DEALS WITH TIMES
00:22:28.81\00:22:32.41
AND LAWS - THE BEAST POWER WOULD
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS -
00:22:32.45\00:22:35.92
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
FITS INTO ALL THOSE CATEGORIES -
00:22:35.95\00:22:39.85
RELATED TO WORSHIP, A TIME,
AND A LAW - IS THE SABBATH.
00:22:39.89\00:22:45.53
I WOULD SAY, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GOING TO TELL THEM, 'KEEP
00:22:45.56\00:22:47.86
ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS, BUT ON
THAT FOURTH COMMANDMENT THAT HAS
00:22:47.86\00:22:50.73
THE NAME OF GOD, WHERE IT SAYS
'KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY HOLY' I
00:22:50.77\00:22:54.17
DON'T WANT YOU TO
KEEP THE DAY OF GOD HOLY.
00:22:54.20\00:22:55.90
I WANT YOU TO KEEP THE DAY OF
MAN HOLY AND I'M GOING TO GIVE
00:22:55.94\00:22:58.87
YOU A NEW COMMANDMENT: INSTEAD
OF WORSHIPING ON THE SEVENTH
00:22:58.91\00:23:02.84
DAY, WORSHIP THE
FIRST DAY. WHAT DIFFERENCE
00:23:02.88\00:23:05.85
DOES ONE DAY MAKE? AND
IT IS SUCH A SUBTLE, SMALL
00:23:05.88\00:23:09.05
THING THAT MOST OF THE
WORLD'S GOING TO SAY, 'IN THE
00:23:09.08\00:23:12.35
SAKE OF UNITY, SURE. WHY NOT?
00:23:12.39\00:23:15.22
WE ALL NEED TO MAKE LITTLE
COMPROMISES FOR UNITY.'' AND
00:23:15.26\00:23:20.06
THERE'S GOING TO BE A COALITION
OF SUPPOSED CHRISTIANS THAT WILL
00:23:20.10\00:23:23.87
GATHER TOGETHER AND SAY, 'WE
ALL NEED TO COME BACK TO GOD AND
00:23:23.90\00:23:27.00
WORSHIP GOD.' AND IT'S
GOING TO SOUND WONDERFUL.
00:23:27.04\00:23:30.57
AND THEY'RE GOING TO SAY
MANY THINGS WE AGREE WITH.
00:23:30.61\00:23:32.31
THAT'S WHAT MAKES A COUNTERFEIT
SO DANGEROUS, IT'S SIMILAR TO
00:23:32.34\00:23:35.64
THE TRUE. AND
THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, 'WE
00:23:35.68\00:23:37.65
ALL NEED TO GO TO
CHURCH.' FOLKS'LL SAY, 'AMEN!
00:23:37.68\00:23:40.32
EVERY SUNDAY WE NEED TO BE
THERE.' AND THEY'RE GOING TO
00:23:40.35\00:23:44.05
MAKE LAWS THAT ARE GOING TO
PERSECUTE THOSE THAT STAND UP
00:23:44.09\00:23:46.45
FOR THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD -
NOT JUST THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT,
00:23:46.49\00:23:49.16
BUT PROBABLY THE
OTHER COMMANDMENTS AS WELL.
00:23:49.19\00:23:51.69
IDOLATRY MAY BE
INVOLVED. IT SAYS AN IMAGE TO
00:23:51.73\00:23:53.96
THE BEAST, DOESN'T IT?
AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY,
00:23:54.00\00:23:56.83
'FOR THE SAKE OF UNITY WE ALL
NEED TO MAKE LITTLE SACRIFICES
00:23:56.87\00:23:59.77
OF OUR CONVICTIONS.' AND
THERE'LL BE GREAT PERSECUTION
00:23:59.80\00:24:03.17
AGAINST THOSE WHO STAND FOR GOD.
00:24:03.20\00:24:05.21
AT ONE POINT, THEY
WON'T BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL.
00:24:05.24\00:24:08.71
AND WE ALL KNOW - HOW EASY
WOULD IT BE TODAY, IN AN ALMOST
00:24:08.74\00:24:11.55
CASHLESS
SOCIETY, TO ENFORCE THAT?
00:24:11.58\00:24:13.62
YOU'LL GO TO SWIPE YOUR CARD OR
TO USE YOUR PIN NUMBER AND IT'S
00:24:13.65\00:24:18.02
GOING TO SAY 'MALFUNCTION' - IT
WON'T WORK - 'YOU WEREN'T AT THE
00:24:18.05\00:24:24.19
UNIVERSAL CHURCH LAST WEEK
AND YOU CANNOT BUY OR SELL.' BUT
00:24:24.23\00:24:29.13
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS ARE MORE THAN
JUST WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AT THE
00:24:29.16\00:24:31.67
SUPERMARKET. DOES THE U.N.
00:24:31.70\00:24:34.10
AND THE UNITED STATES NOW
ENFORCE ECONOMIC SANCTIONS,
00:24:34.14\00:24:37.54
TELLING COUNTRIES THAT IF YOU
DON'T COOPERATE YOU CANNOT BUY
00:24:37.57\00:24:39.84
OR SELL? IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING.
00:24:39.87\00:24:43.68
IT'S AN
INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY NOW.
00:24:43.71\00:24:46.01
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE WAVES -
AMERICA SNEEZES AND THE WHOLE
00:24:46.05\00:24:47.92
WORLD GET RIPPLES, FINANCIALLY.
EVERYONE - EVERYTHING'S
00:24:47.95\00:24:52.52
INTERCONNECTED NOW.
WHAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT IS
00:24:52.55\00:24:55.62
GOING TO PREVENT GOD'S END-TIME
PEOPLE FROM BEING DECEIVED?
00:24:55.66\00:24:59.16
TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY,
IF THEY DO NOT SPEAK ACCORDING
00:24:59.19\00:25:02.90
TO THIS WORD IT'S BECAUSE
THERE'S NO LIGHT IN THEM.
00:25:02.93\00:25:06.40
IT SAYS, IN ACTS CHAPTER 17,
VERSE 11, SPEAKING OF THE PEOPLE
00:25:06.43\00:25:09.80
IN BEREA, "THESE WERE MORE NOBLE
THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA, IN
00:25:09.84\00:25:13.61
THAT THEY RECEIVED THE WORD
WITH ALL READINESS OF MIND, AND
00:25:13.64\00:25:16.44
SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY,
WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO."
00:25:16.48\00:25:21.18
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, IT'S
NOT GOING TO GO ON LIKE THIS
00:25:21.22\00:25:24.29
FOREVER. JESUS IS GOING TO COME.
00:25:24.32\00:25:26.62
>>AMEN! >>THAT'S
THE ONLY SOLUTION.
00:25:26.65\00:25:28.86
AND I'M NOT TELLING YOU THESE
THINGS TO TROUBLE YOU BECAUSE,
00:25:28.89\00:25:32.03
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO
PAUSE RIGHT HERE AND REMIND YOU.
00:25:32.06\00:25:35.70
EVEN IF I COULD TELL YOU THE DAY
AND HOUR OF JESUS' COMING, THAT
00:25:35.73\00:25:38.10
WOULD NOT SAVE YOU. >>NOPE.
00:25:38.13\00:25:39.77
>>AND I CAN'T TELL
YOU BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS.
00:25:39.80\00:25:41.67
THE PURPOSE OF
PROPHECY IS REDEMPTIVE.
00:25:41.70\00:25:44.94
JESUS SAID, 'WHEN THESE THINGS
BEGIN TO COME TO PASS LIFT UP
00:25:44.97\00:25:49.11
YOUR HEADS.' HE SAID, 'THEN YOU
WILL KNOW - AFTER THESE THINGS
00:25:49.14\00:25:53.72
HAVE HAPPENED, THEN YOU
WILL KNOW THAT I WAS TELLING THE
00:25:53.75\00:25:55.55
TRUTH.' AS YOU'RE LOOKING BACK
AND SEEING HOW JESUS OUTLINED
00:25:55.58\00:25:58.52
THE HISTORY OF THE BEAST AND
THE SECOND BEAST AND ALL THAT'S
00:25:58.55\00:26:01.76
HAPPENED, YOU SAY, 'WOW, IT'S
ALL UNFOLDING JUST LIKE HE SAID.
00:26:01.79\00:26:05.36
WHY DOES HE
WANT US TO KNOW THAT?
00:26:05.39\00:26:06.83
THAT MUST MEAN WHAT HE SAYS IN
THE BIBLE ABOUT SAVING ME FROM
00:26:06.86\00:26:09.90
SIN IS TRUE.' >>AMEN.
00:26:09.93\00:26:12.30
>>SEE, THAT'S THE
REASON FOR PROPHECY.
00:26:12.33\00:26:14.17
IT'S NOT TO JUST TANTALIZE YOU
WITH THE FUTURE, I MEAN, THAT'S
00:26:14.20\00:26:17.61
WHAT ASTROLOGERS DO.
THE REASON GOD SHOWS YOU HE
00:26:17.64\00:26:20.61
KNOWS ABOUT PROPHECY IS SO
YOU'LL TRUST HIS WORD THAT IT IS
00:26:20.64\00:26:23.48
A SUPERNATURAL BOOK AND WHAT HE
SAYS ABOUT SALVATION IS TRUE AND
00:26:23.51\00:26:27.62
THAT HE HAS - IF HE KNOWS
THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD DOES
00:26:27.65\00:26:29.72
HE HAVE A
HISTORY FOR YOU? >>YES.
00:26:29.75\00:26:31.49
>>HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR
LIFE. AND NOTHING HAPPENS
00:26:31.52\00:26:33.99
BY ACCIDENT WITH GOD. >>AMEN.
00:26:34.02\00:26:36.19
>>HE SEES
EVERYTHING THAT'S COMING.
00:26:36.22\00:26:37.89
>>AMEN. >>I'D
LIKE TO ENCOURAGE THOSE
00:26:37.93\00:26:40.66

SOME WHO MAY BE WATCHING ON
00:26:40.70\00:26:43.37

MISSED - AND PREPARE
FOR WHAT'S COMING UPON THE
00:26:50.37\00:26:53.04
WORLD AS WE
SPEAK. THESE ARE VERY
00:26:53.07\00:26:56.41
INTERESTING TIMES. THE
BIBLE TELLS US A TIME OF
00:26:56.44\00:26:58.51
TROUBLE IS COMING SUCH
AS THERE NEVER HAS BEEN.
00:26:58.55\00:27:01.35
BUT I'M NOT
AFRAID. YOU KNOW WHY?
00:27:01.38\00:27:03.82
BECAUSE I KNOW JESUS HAS A PLAN
FOR MY LIFE AND IF CHRIST IS
00:27:03.85\00:27:06.65
WITH YOU, DO YOU NEED TO BE
AFRAID OF THE FIERY FURNACE?
00:27:06.69\00:27:09.76
IF CHRIST IS WITH YOU, DO YOU
NEED TO BE AFRAID OF THE LION'S
00:27:09.79\00:27:12.43
DEN? IF JESUS
IS WITH YOU, DO YOU
00:27:12.46\00:27:15.00
NEED TO BE AFRAID
OF THE TIME OF TROUBLE?
00:27:15.03\00:27:17.60
HE WILL GO THROUGH IT ALL
WITH YOU, FRIENDS, BUT YOU MUST
00:27:17.63\00:27:20.44
INVITE HIM TO BE IN YOUR
HEART. HAVE YOU DONE THAT YET?
