00:00:05.03\00:00:07.10
>>DO THE DEAD COMMUNICATE
WITH THE LIVING ACCORDING
00:00:14.34\00:00:16.34
TO THE BIBLE? IF
SOMEONE COMES TO YOU SAYING,
00:00:16.38\00:00:18.58
'I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.
I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE
00:00:18.61\00:00:21.08
OTHER SIDE.' AS A CHRISTIAN
YOU OUGHT TO RUN THE OTHER
00:00:21.12\00:00:23.39
DIRECTION. IT'S
CALLED 'SPIRITISM'.
00:00:23.42\00:00:26.05
>>YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, IN THE LAST
DAYS, JESUS IS VERY CLEAR - IN
00:00:29.92\00:00:34.03
MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, VERSE 24 HE
WARNS US THAT THE DECEPTIONS ARE
00:00:34.10\00:00:39.23
GOING TO BE SO COMPELLING THAT
IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, EVEN THE
00:00:39.27\00:00:42.94
VERY ELECT WOULD BE DECEIVED.
THAT MEANS EVEN PROFESSED
00:00:42.97\00:00:45.91
CHRISTIANS WOULD BE DECEIVED.
AND SO THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS
00:00:45.94\00:00:50.38
WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE.
THE DEVIL IS A MASTER DECEIVER.
00:00:50.41\00:00:54.82
NOW THE BIBLE'S VERY CLEAR THAT
NECROMANCY - THAT'S THE PRACTICE
00:00:54.85\00:00:59.59
OR ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THE DEAD - IS SOMETHING
00:00:59.62\00:01:02.09
THAT IS FORBIDDEN.
INTERESTING - OH, SOMEONE DID A
00:01:02.12\00:01:05.76
SURVEY BACK IN 1977 AND
ABOUT 35% OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
00:01:05.79\00:01:12.30
BELIEVED THAT YOU COULD
COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD.
00:01:12.33\00:01:14.70
ACTUALLY, IT WAS
JUST ANY AMERICANS.
00:01:14.74\00:01:16.97
THEN, BY THE TIME YOU GOT
TO 1983 THERE WAS ANOTHER STUDY
00:01:17.01\00:01:20.01
THAT WAS DONE AND IT HAD GONE
UP ANOTHER 15% AND ABOUT 42% OF
00:01:20.04\00:01:26.05
AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT YOU
CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD.
00:01:26.08\00:01:29.48
WHAT'S REALLY SAD NOW IS, WHILE
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FORBIDDEN IN
00:01:29.52\00:01:33.19
SCRIPTURE FOR CHRISTIANS TO TRY
TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD,
00:01:33.22\00:01:36.79
NOW THERE'S A NEW FORM
OF NECROMANCY THAT IS BEING
00:01:36.83\00:01:39.89
BAPTIZED AND EMBRACED
BY CHRISTIANS. YOU CAN SEE
00:01:39.93\00:01:44.33
THAT PEOPLE ARE SORT OF
PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PARANORMAL.
00:01:44.37\00:01:47.90
JUST TO GIVE YOU A FEW
EXAMPLES: DR. EBEN ALEXANDER, A
00:01:47.94\00:01:52.04
NEUROSURGEON WHO, IRONICALLY,
NEVER REALLY BELIEVED IN
00:01:52.07\00:01:54.81
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES UNTIL
HE FELL INTO A COMA, AND THEN HE
00:01:54.84\00:01:58.58
DETAILS, IN HIS BOOK 'PROOF
OF HEAVEN: A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE
00:01:58.61\00:02:03.08
WITH THE AFTERLIFE' ABOUT HIS
BEING TAKEN OFF TO HEAVEN AND
00:02:03.12\00:02:07.39
HAVING A CHANGE OF HEART AND
SEEING THINGS AND PEOPLE THERE.
00:02:07.42\00:02:11.26
AND THERE'S
SOMEONE NAMED DON PIPER.
00:02:11.29\00:02:13.23
HE WROTE A BOOK - DIED IN A
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT - HEAD ON -
00:02:13.26\00:02:17.10
STRUCK BY AN 18-WHEELER
- A MINISTER, I SHOULD ADD.
00:02:17.13\00:02:22.27
A PASTOR STOPPED AND PRAYED
OVER HIS BODY WHEN HE HAD BEEN
00:02:22.30\00:02:25.77
DECLARED DEAD AND HE SAYS FOR 90
MINUTES HE WAS IN HEAVEN AND HE
00:02:25.81\00:02:29.48
WROTE A BEST-SELLING - NEW YORK
TIMES BEST-SELLING BOOK ON THAT
00:02:29.51\00:02:32.38
AND TALKED ABOUT SEEING
RELATIVES UP THERE AND TALKING
00:02:32.41\00:02:35.52
WITH THEM. AND THEN HE WENT
ON AND ENDORSED THIS LATEST BOOK
00:02:35.55\00:02:40.29
THAT'S BECOME VERY
POPULAR, 'HEAVEN IS FOR REAL'.
00:02:40.32\00:02:43.29
IT'S A 2010 NEW YORK TIMES
BEST-SELLING BOOK ABOUT A LITTLE
00:02:43.32\00:02:47.60
BOY'S ASTOUNDING STORY OF
HIS TRIP TO HEAVEN AND BACK -
00:02:47.66\00:02:52.03
WRITTEN BY, AGAIN, A
PASTOR - TODD BURPO - ABOUT HIS
00:02:52.07\00:02:55.17
4-YEAR-OLD SON COLTON,
WHO EXPERIENCED ONE OF THESE
00:02:55.20\00:02:58.64
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
DURING EMERGENCY SURGERY.
00:02:58.67\00:03:02.14
HE OSTENSIBLY DIED AND HE WAS
TAKEN OFF INTO HEAVEN AND HE SAW
00:03:02.18\00:03:07.48
GRANDPA AND GRANDMA AND HE SAW A
BABY SISTER THAT WAS MISCARRIED
00:03:07.52\00:03:11.72
BY HIS MOTHER AND HE TALKED
TO JESUS AND HE DESCRIBED WHAT
00:03:11.75\00:03:15.62
HEAVEN WAS LIKE. OF COURSE,
HIS FATHER WAS A MINISTER
00:03:15.66\00:03:19.29
AND HE GREW UP WITH THIS
KNOWLEDGE OF CHRISTIAN THINGS.
00:03:19.33\00:03:23.50
AND NOW THEY'RE MAKING A
MOVIE ABOUT IT AND EVERYBODY'S
00:03:23.53\00:03:26.87
PROBABLY GOING TO
THINK THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL.
00:03:26.90\00:03:29.37
I DON'T DOUBT THE
SINCERITY OF THESE PEOPLE.
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.91
I DON'T DOUBT THAT THEY
HAD SOME KIND OF EXPERIENCE.
00:03:31.94\00:03:34.78
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO SAY WE'RE GOING
00:03:34.81\00:03:37.41
TO BASE TRUTH ON WHAT SOMEBODY
EXPERIENCES WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY
00:03:37.45\00:03:42.02
DIE ON AN OPERATING TABLE OR
THEY SLIP INTO A COMA BECAUSE
00:03:42.05\00:03:46.45
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS THAT CAN AFFECT THAT.
00:03:46.49\00:03:48.39
FIRST WE WANT TO BASE IT ON
'WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT
00:03:48.42\00:03:51.93
COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEAD?'
ISAIAH 8:19, "AND WHEN THEY SAY
00:03:51.96\00:03:56.97
TO YOU, 'SEEK THOSE WHO ARE
MEDIUMS AND WIZARDS, WHO WHISPER
00:03:57.00\00:04:00.40
AND MUTTER,' SHOULD NOT
A PEOPLE SEEK THEIR GOD?
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.91
SHOULD THEY SEEK THE
DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING?
00:04:03.94\00:04:06.21
TO THE LAW AND THE TESTIMONY!
IF THEY DO NOT SPEAK ACCORDING
00:04:06.24\00:04:09.21
TO THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE
THERE IS NOT LIGHT IN THEM."
00:04:09.24\00:04:14.65
AND SO IF A PERSON SAYS, 'YOU
KNOW, I DIED ON THE OPERATING
00:04:14.68\00:04:18.05
TABLE AND I WAS TALKING TO
GRANDMA IN HEAVEN AND SHE GAVE
00:04:18.09\00:04:20.69
ME A MESSAGE.' I DON'T DOUBT
A PERSON CAN HAVE A DREAM, BUT
00:04:20.72\00:04:25.19
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY
A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.
00:04:25.23\00:04:27.86
DREAMS CAN COME FROM GOD.
DREAMS CAN COME FROM THE DEVIL.
00:04:27.93\00:04:31.27
AND SO WE NEED TO BE VERY
CAREFUL ABOUT THIS SORT OF
00:04:31.30\00:04:33.60
THING. LEVITICUS
19:31, "GIVE NO REGARD
00:04:33.64\00:04:37.77
TO MEDIUMS AND FAMILIAR SPIRITS;
DO NOT SEEK AFTER THEM, TO BE
00:04:37.81\00:04:42.58
DEFILED BY THEM: I
AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:04:42.61\00:04:44.91
MEDIUMS WOULD SAY, 'WE'VE GOT A
MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.' SO THIS
00:04:44.95\00:04:48.38
IS SORT OF A NEW BAPTIZED
- OR SANCTIFIED - VERSION OF
00:04:48.42\00:04:52.62
NECROMANCY, WHEN CHRISTIANS
SAY, 'I HAD AN EXPERIENCE.
00:04:52.65\00:04:56.66
I WENT TO HEAVEN AND I HAVE
A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.' YOU
00:04:56.69\00:04:59.69
KNOW, THERE'S NO EXAMPLE
ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE OF SOMEONE
00:04:59.73\00:05:02.70
GETTING A MESSAGE - A CHRISTIAN
- A BELIEVER - OF GETTING A
00:05:02.73\00:05:06.23
MESSAGE FROM
SOMEBODY WHO HAD DIED.
00:05:06.27\00:05:08.80
IT ONLY HAPPENS WITH KING
SAUL WHEN HE CONSULTS A WITCH.
00:05:08.84\00:05:12.11
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DIED THAT
COMMUNICATED WITH SOMEONE LIVING
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.44
IS WHEN MOSES AND ELIJAH
APPEARED TO JESUS ON THE MOUNT
00:05:15.48\00:05:18.98
OF TRANSFIGURATION. WE
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SAID.
00:05:19.01\00:05:22.05
IT SAYS THEY TALKED TO HIM ABOUT
HIS SACRIFICE BUT THEY DIDN'T
00:05:22.08\00:05:26.89
COMMUNICATE WITH
PETER, JAMES AND JOHN.
00:05:26.92\00:05:29.16
JESUS, WHO WAS GLORIFIED, HE
ENTERED INTO THIS STATE AND THEY
00:05:29.19\00:05:33.06
TALKED TO HIM. SO
THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE ARE
00:05:33.09\00:05:35.60
GETTING MESSAGES FROM THOSE
THAT ARE DEAD - AND WE KNOW WHY
00:05:35.63\00:05:39.00
ELIJAH WAS
THERE - HE DIDN'T DIE.
00:05:39.03\00:05:41.20
HE WENT TO HEAVEN IN A FIERY
CHARIOT. AND THE BOOK OF JUDE
00:05:41.24\00:05:43.77
SAYS MOSES WAS RESURRECTED
BY JESUS AFTER HE DIED.
00:05:43.81\00:05:48.68
DEUTERONOMY 18:10-12, "THERE
SHALL NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU
00:05:48.71\00:05:52.08
ANYONE WHO MAKES HIS SON OR HIS
DAUGHTER PASS THROUGH THE FIRE,
00:05:52.11\00:05:55.82
OR ONE WHO PRACTICES WITCHCRAFT,
OR A SOOTHSAYER, OR ONE WHO
00:05:55.85\00:06:00.36
INTERPRETS OMENS, OR A SORCERER,
OR ONE WHO CONJURES SPELLS, OR A
00:06:00.39\00:06:04.69
MEDIUM," - THAT'S NECROMANCY -
"OR A SPIRITIST," - SOMEONE WHO
00:06:04.73\00:06:09.56
CONSULTS WITH THE
SPIRITS OF THE DEAD -
00:06:09.60\00:06:11.97
"OR ONE WHO CALLS UP THE DEAD.
FOR ALL WHO DO THESE THINGS ARE
00:06:12.00\00:06:16.10
AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD, AND
BECAUSE OF THESE ABOMINATIONS
00:06:16.14\00:06:19.34
THE LORD YOUR GOD DRIVES
THEM OUT FROM BEFORE YOU."
00:06:19.37\00:06:22.88
SO, HERE'S A QUESTION: DO
THE DEAD COMMUNICATE WITH THE
00:06:22.91\00:06:26.05
LIVING, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?
I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A FEW VERSES:
00:06:26.08\00:06:29.98
JOB 14:21, SPEAKING OF A MAN WHO
DIES IT SAYS, "HIS SONS COME TO
00:06:30.02\00:06:35.22
HONOR AND HE DOES NOT KNOW IT."
SO A MAN DIES - DOES HE GO TO
00:06:35.26\00:06:40.30
HEAVEN AND LOOK DOWN AND
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING ON EARTH?
00:06:40.33\00:06:42.63
HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HIS SONS COME
TO HONOR - "THEY ARE BROUGHT LOW
00:06:42.66\00:06:45.83
AND HE DOES NOT PERCEIVE
IT." - THINK ABOUT IT ANYWAY.
00:06:45.87\00:06:48.97
WOULD YOUR RELATIVES, IF THEY
WENT TO HEAVEN AND THEY COULD
00:06:49.00\00:06:51.67
LOOK DOWN AND SEE WHAT WAS
HAPPENING HERE ON EARTH - A
00:06:51.71\00:06:55.28
MOTHER HAD A BUNCH OF KIDS
AND GRAND-KIDS AND SEE ALL THE
00:06:55.31\00:06:57.98
TRIALS AND THE TROUBLE AND THE
TEMPTATION AND THE FAILURES AND
00:06:58.01\00:07:00.92
THE PAIN - WOULD THEY BE
ENJOYING HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN AT
00:07:00.95\00:07:04.42
ALL OF THAT HAPPENING? NO.
00:07:04.45\00:07:07.86
THE BIBLE TELLS US
THAT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
00:07:07.89\00:07:10.43
JESUS SAID THAT NO ONE HAS
ASCENDED - NOW THIS IS THE FINAL
00:07:10.46\00:07:13.53
WORD FOR ME - NOT THAT I'M
DONE - BUT THIS IS, I THINK,
00:07:13.56\00:07:16.43
PRETTY IMPORTANT. "NO
ONE HAS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN
00:07:16.46\00:07:19.87
BUT HE WHO CAME
DOWN FROM HEAVEN."
00:07:19.90\00:07:21.94
NOBODY CAME - WENT UP TO
HEAVEN AND CAME BACK DOWN WITH A
00:07:21.97\00:07:24.17
MESSAGE EXCEPT JESUS.
JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAME
00:07:24.21\00:07:27.58
FROM THE FATHER WITH A MESSAGE
FOR EARTH. SO WHAT'S HAPPENING
00:07:27.61\00:07:31.38
WHEN PEOPLE HAVE THESE
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES?
00:07:31.41\00:07:35.88
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT BETWEEN
10% TO 25% OF HEART ATTACK
00:07:35.92\00:07:39.35
SURVIVORS, THEY REPORT
HAVING NDES - OR 'NEAR-DEATH
00:07:39.39\00:07:43.12
EXPERIENCES' -
SO IT'S VERY COMMON.
00:07:43.16\00:07:46.33
BRITISH RESEARCHER, SUSAN
BLACKMORE, AUTHOR OF 'DYING TO
00:07:46.36\00:07:48.80
LIVE: NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES'
NOTES THAT MANY OF THESE NDES
00:07:48.83\00:07:52.47
SUCH AS EUPHORIA AND THE FEELING
OF MOVING TOWARDS THE LIGHT ARE,
00:07:52.50\00:07:56.47
IN FACT, TYPICAL
SYMPTOMS OF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION.
00:07:56.50\00:08:01.74
THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY TO
PEOPLE WHO HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
00:08:01.78\00:08:05.95
IN ONE EXPERIMENT, DR. LADISLAS
MEDUNA ADMINISTERED 30% CARBON
00:08:05.98\00:08:10.59
DIOXIDE AND 70%
OXYGEN TO A SUBJECT.
00:08:10.62\00:08:13.56
AFTERWARD, THE SUBJECT STATED,
'I FELT LIKE I WAS LOOKING DOWN
00:08:13.59\00:08:17.09
AT MYSELF AS THOUGH I
WAS OUT THERE IN SPACE.
00:08:17.13\00:08:20.43
I FELT SORT OF SEPARATED.' IT'S
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE INDUCED.
00:08:20.46\00:08:24.43
AND I'M SURE IT FEELS VERY REAL
TO THEM, BUT WE DON'T BASE OUR
00:08:24.47\00:08:28.10
THEOLOGY ON THAT.
SOMEONE ELSE DID SOME STUDIES -
00:08:28.14\00:08:31.84
'ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TO THE
RIGHT TEMPORAL LOBE OF THE BRAIN
00:08:31.87\00:08:35.38
HAS BEEN SHOWN TO RELIABLY
INDUCE THE SAME DISASSOCIATION
00:08:35.41\00:08:39.75
FOUND IN NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
AND OBES - OR 'OUT OF BODY
00:08:39.78\00:08:43.99
EXPERIENCES'. OTHER
ELEMENTS OF NEAR-DEATH
00:08:44.02\00:08:46.29
EXPERIENCES CAN BE
REPRODUCED WITH ANESTHETICS.
00:08:46.32\00:08:50.09
AND SO THAT'S WHY SUCH A HIGH
PERCENTAGE OF THESE PEOPLE THAT
00:08:50.13\00:08:52.96
DIE ON THE OPERATING TABLE ARE
SAYING, 'I HAD A DREAM.' HERE'S
00:08:52.99\00:08:55.96
WHAT YOU NEED TO PAY CAREFUL
ATTENTION TO: THESE NEAR-DEATH
00:08:56.00\00:08:59.83
EXPERIENCES THAT I JUST TALKED
TO YOU ABOUT - DON PIPER AND
00:08:59.87\00:09:03.37
TODD BURPO AND COLTON AND
THE DOCTOR - THEY ALL LIVE IN
00:09:03.41\00:09:07.81
AMERICA IN A CONTEXT OF
CHRISTIANITY AND SO THEY HAVE
00:09:07.84\00:09:10.71
THESE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RELIGION
00:09:10.75\00:09:13.75
THEY'VE GROWN UP IN.
GUESS WHO THEY SEE IN INDIA WHEN
00:09:13.78\00:09:17.72
THEY HAVE A
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE. KRISHNA.
00:09:17.75\00:09:21.32
AND IF YOU GO TO A
BUDDHIST COUNTRY AND THEY HAVE A
00:09:21.36\00:09:23.09
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE,
WHO DO THEY SEE? BUDDHA.
00:09:23.12\00:09:27.03
SO ARE WE GOING TO BASE OUR
THEOLOGY ON PEOPLE'S NEAR-DEATH
00:09:27.03\00:09:29.86
EXPERIENCES FROM
WHATEVER COUNTRY THEY'RE IN?
00:09:29.90\00:09:33.23
COULD IT BE THE DEVIL CAN
EXPLOIT THESE EXPERIENCES?
00:09:33.27\00:09:37.34
FOLLOW ME. ARE
THE DEAD CONSCIOUS,
00:09:37.37\00:09:40.48
BIBLICALLY? DO
THEY KNOW ANYTHING?
00:09:40.51\00:09:42.71
PSALM 115, VERSE 17 - NOW,
LET ME MAKE IT VERY CLEAR -
00:09:42.74\00:09:46.18
I DO BELIEVE IN HEAVEN.
I WANT TO GO THERE SOMEDAY.
00:09:46.21\00:09:48.98
I THINK IT'S
REAL. I DON'T DENY THAT.
00:09:49.02\00:09:51.72
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE PEOPLE GO
RIGHT FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN WHEN
00:09:51.75\00:09:54.76
THEY DIE - BEFORE THE
RESURRECTION AND BEFORE THE
00:09:54.79\00:09:56.86
JUDGMENT. THE
BIBLE'S VERY CLEAR ABOUT
00:09:56.89\00:09:59.53
WHEN THIS ALL TAKES PLACE
AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
00:09:59.56\00:10:02.46
YES, ENOCH'S IN HEAVEN, ELIJAH'S
IN HEAVEN, MOSES IS IN HEAVEN.
00:10:02.50\00:10:05.40
THERE ARE SOME WHO WENT TO
HEAVEN THAT JESUS ROSE AT THE
00:10:05.43\00:10:07.70
END OF MATTHEW 27 IN A SPECIAL
RESURRECTION, BUT THE VAST
00:10:07.74\00:10:12.17
MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE
STILL SLEEPING IN THEIR GRAVES.
00:10:12.21\00:10:14.91
'OH, BUT PASTOR DOUG, THE BIBLE
SAYS, 'TO BE ABSENT FROM THE
00:10:14.94\00:10:17.95
BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH
THE LORD.'' YES, THAT'S TRUE FOR
00:10:17.98\00:10:20.85
THEM. WHEN A PERSON DIES IN
A SAVED CONDITION, THEIR NEXT
00:10:20.88\00:10:24.45
CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:10:24.49\00:10:27.22
THEY HAVE NO CONSCIOUSNESS OF
TIME, BUT THEY'RE NOT THERE YET.
00:10:27.26\00:10:30.13
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE COMES
00:10:30.16\00:10:32.66
TO YOU SAYING, 'I'VE
GOT A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.
00:10:32.69\00:10:34.63
I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE
OTHER SIDE.' AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU
00:10:34.66\00:10:37.40
OUGHT TO RUN
THE OTHER DIRECTION.
00:10:37.43\00:10:38.73
IT'S CALLED 'SPIRITISM'.
LET ME GIVE YOU THOSE VERSES:
00:10:38.77\00:10:41.67
PSALM 115:17, "THE
DEAD PRAISE NOT THE LORD."
00:10:41.70\00:10:45.67
FIRST THING I'D DO IF I DIED AND
WENT RIGHT TO HEAVEN IS PRAISE
00:10:45.71\00:10:47.78
THE LORD. BUT
DAVID SAID THEY DO NOT
00:10:47.81\00:10:49.58
PRAISE THE LORD. PETER
SAID, IN ACTS CHAPTER 2,
00:10:49.61\00:10:52.85
'DAVID IS DEAD AND BURIED
AND NOT ASCENDED TO HEAVEN.' IT
00:10:52.88\00:10:56.32
CAN'T BE ANY MORE CLEAR BECAUSE,
YOU'D THINK DAVID WOULD MAKE IT.
00:10:56.35\00:11:00.42
PSALM 6:5, "FOR IN DEATH THERE
IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF THEE."
00:11:00.46\00:11:04.46
PSALM 146, VERSE 2-4, "WHILE
I LIVE I WILL PRAISE THE LORD: I
00:11:04.49\00:11:08.80
WILL SING PRAISES UNTO MY
GOD WHILE I HAVE ANY BEING."
00:11:08.83\00:11:11.37
- WHILE I'M ALIVE - "PUT NOT
YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES, NOR IN
00:11:11.40\00:11:14.40
THE SON OF MAN, IN
WHOM THERE IS NO HELP.
00:11:14.44\00:11:16.20
HIS BREATH GOETH FORTH, HE
RETURNETH TO HIS EARTH; IN THAT
00:11:16.24\00:11:20.28
VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH."
HE'S NOT UP WALKING AROUND
00:11:20.31\00:11:23.75
HEAVEN AND SENDING
MESSAGES TO YOU HERE ON EARTH.
00:11:23.78\00:11:27.35
'OH, BUT PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW,
I SENSE MY HUSBAND'S PRESENCE.
00:11:27.38\00:11:31.09
WE WERE MARRIED 50
YEARS AND HE DIED AND I -
00:11:31.12\00:11:33.79
I JUST HEARD HIM SPEAKING TO ME.
I FELT, AT THE FUNERAL, HE WAS
00:11:33.82\00:11:37.46
LOOKING DOWN ON ME.' IT'S NOT
UNUSUAL FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE THESE
00:11:37.49\00:11:40.70
EXPERIENCES. YOU'RE
MARRIED TO ANYBODY THAT
00:11:40.73\00:11:42.90
LONG - MY BROTHER DIED AND FOR
32 YEARS HE WAS ALWAYS THERE IN
00:11:42.93\00:11:50.74
MY LIFE. I HAD AUTO
DIAL - I COULD ALWAYS
00:11:50.77\00:11:52.61
TALK TO MY BROTHER.
I SENSED HIS PRESENCE.
00:11:52.64\00:11:54.64
AND WHEN HE DIED,
SOMETIMES I FELT HE WAS NEAR.
00:11:54.68\00:11:58.85
IT'S JUST BECAUSE I HAD SO
MANY MEMORIES IN MY MIND OF MY
00:11:58.88\00:12:02.78
BROTHER - THAT'S PERFECTLY
NORMAL - BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
00:12:02.82\00:12:05.69
THAT MY BROTHER'S DISEMBODIED
SPIRIT WAS FLOATING AROUND MY
00:12:05.72\00:12:08.22
HOUSE OR THAT HE'S
SPEAKING TO ME FROM HEAVEN.
00:12:08.26\00:12:10.96
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
AND SO, I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE
00:12:10.99\00:12:14.30
AWAY FROM PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES,
BUT YOU DON'T BASE TRUTH UPON
00:12:14.30\00:12:17.33
THAT. ISAIAH 38:18, "...DEATH
CAN-NOT CELEBRATE THEE."
00:12:17.37\00:12:22.64
ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSES 5 AND 6,
"FOR THE LIVING KNOW THAT THEY
00:12:22.67\00:12:26.17
WILL DIE; BUT THE DEAD" - DO
YOU KNOW THE REST OF THAT VERSE?
00:12:26.21\00:12:29.48
THEY - "KNOW
NOTHING." HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW?
00:12:29.51\00:12:32.75
THE DEAD DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
SO IF YOU SAY, 'I WAS IN HEAVEN
00:12:32.78\00:12:34.88
AND I SAW GRANDMA' OR 'GRANDPA'
OR 'MY LITTLE SISTER' OR
00:12:34.92\00:12:37.39
SOMETHING, THEY
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
00:12:37.42\00:12:39.19
THEY'RE SLEEPING.
SO WHO SPOKE TO YOU?

AND MOST IMPORTANT,
TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS.
00:13:12.72\00:13:15.56
>> WELL MAYBE THAT
LITTLE BOY HAD A DREAM.
00:13:17.69\00:13:20.70
'WELL, HE KNEW THINGS
HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN.
00:13:20.73\00:13:24.47
DID THE DEVIL KNOW THOSE THINGS?
DID THE DEVIL KNOW WHAT HIS
00:13:24.50\00:13:27.17
GRANDPA LOOKED LIKE?
DID THE DEVIL KNOW ABOUT THE
00:13:27.20\00:13:29.37
LITTLE SISTER? DOES
THE - SURE THE DEVIL KNOWS.
00:13:29.40\00:13:32.57
THE DEVIL CAN GIVE
INFORMATION TO HIS PROPHETS.
00:13:32.61\00:13:36.58
HE CAN SPEAK THROUGH DREAMS.
AND EVEN THOSE WHO BECOME
00:13:36.61\00:13:40.12
MEDIUMS - YOU
KNOW WHAT A MEDIUM IS?
00:13:40.15\00:13:42.78
THE PERSON WHO IS IN THE
MIDDLE - THEY ARE THE GO-BETWEEN
00:13:42.82\00:13:45.65
BETWEEN THE REAL
WORLD AND THE SPIRIT WORLD.
00:13:45.69\00:13:48.12
AND EVEN IF IT'S A CUTE
LITTLE BOY WHO SAYS, 'I'VE GOT A
00:13:48.16\00:13:51.66
MESSAGE FROM BEYOND' - HE
IS THE MEDIUM FOR THE MESSAGE.
00:13:51.69\00:13:56.33
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE
SHOULD NOT GET INFORMATION ABOUT
00:13:56.36\00:13:58.87
DEATH OR HEAVEN
OR HELL FROM MEDIUMS.
00:13:58.90\00:14:02.94
WE GET IT FROM THE WORD, AMEN?
'THE LIVING KNOW THEY'LL DIE.
00:14:02.97\00:14:06.31
THE DEAD DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.'
"ALSO THEIR LOVE, THEIR HATRED,
00:14:06.34\00:14:10.91
AND THEIR ENVY HAVE NOW
PERISHED; NEVERMORE WILL THEY
00:14:10.95\00:14:13.58
HAVE A SHARE IN ANYTHING
THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN."
00:14:13.62\00:14:17.49
AND YOU CAN GO TO - YOU CAN READ
IN VERSE 10 - IT SAYS IN VERSE
00:14:17.52\00:14:21.42
10, "WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS TO
DO, DO IT WITH YOUR MIGHT; FOR
00:14:21.46\00:14:25.69
THERE IS NO WORK OR DEVICE OR
KNOWLEDGE OR WISDOM IN THE GRAVE
00:14:25.73\00:14:29.73
WHERE YOU ARE GOING."
SO WHERE DO THE DEAD GO?
00:14:29.76\00:14:33.77
JOB 17:3 - WHEN THEY DIE - "IF I
WAIT, THE GRAVE IS MINE HOUSE."
00:14:33.80\00:14:38.97
WHERE DO THE DEAD
WAIT? IN THE GRAVE.
00:14:39.01\00:14:41.88
YOU CAN READ JOB 21:32,
"YET SHALL HE BE BROUGHT TO THE
00:14:41.91\00:14:45.25
GRAVE, AND SHALL
REMAIN IN THE TOMB."
00:14:45.28\00:14:47.55
WHERE DO THEY STAY UNTIL
THE RESURRECTION? IN THE TOMB.
00:14:47.58\00:14:51.35
THEY'RE NOT ROAMING AROUND LIKE
EBENEZER SCROOGE GOING INTO THE
00:14:51.39\00:14:55.72
PAST AND THE
PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.
00:14:55.76\00:14:58.09
2 PETER 2:9, "THEN THE LORD
KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY
00:14:58.13\00:15:01.10
OUT OF TEMPTATIONS AND
TO RESERVE THE UNJUST UNDER
00:15:01.13\00:15:05.30
PUNISHMENT FOR THE DAY OF
JUDGMENT," - THEY DON'T GET
00:15:05.33\00:15:07.87
PUNISHED. THEY
DON'T GET REWARDED -
00:15:07.90\00:15:09.44
UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
IT'D BE KIND OF STRANGE TO JUDGE
00:15:09.47\00:15:12.57
THEM AND SAY - PULL THEM
OUT OF HEAVEN TO JUDGE THEM.
00:15:12.61\00:15:16.04
BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT STORY
IN THE BIBLE WHERE KING SAUL,
00:15:16.08\00:15:20.92
HE SAW THIS
APPARITION OF SAMUEL?
00:15:20.95\00:15:23.99
YOU'LL FIND THAT IN THE BIBLE
IN 1 SAMUEL 28, VERSES 3-20.
00:15:24.02\00:15:30.19
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ
THE WHOLE THING, BUT JUST VERY
00:15:30.23\00:15:33.16
QUICKLY - IT TELLS US THAT
KING SAUL WAS DREADFULLY AFRAID
00:15:33.19\00:15:38.27
BECAUSE THE PHILISTINES HAD
AMASSED AN INCREDIBLY LARGE ARMY
00:15:38.30\00:15:42.04
AGAINST ISRAEL AND HE TRIED TO
TALK TO THE PROPHETS AND THERE
00:15:42.07\00:15:45.64
WAS NO MESSAGE FROM THE PROPHETS
AND THE PRIESTS HAD NO MESSAGE
00:15:45.67\00:15:48.44
FROM GOD AND HE DID EVERYTHING
HE COULD TO GET SOME GUIDANCE
00:15:48.48\00:15:52.28
BUT SAUL HAD PRETTY MUCH GRIEVED
AWAY THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE OF
00:15:52.31\00:15:55.62
HIS REBELLION AND
PRIDE AGAINST GOD.
00:15:55.65\00:15:57.85
SO IN DESPERATION TO GET SOME
GUIDANCE HE SAID, 'FIND A WITCH
00:15:57.89\00:16:02.72
FOR ME - A MEDIUM. IF I
COULD ONLY HEAR FROM SAMUEL
00:16:02.76\00:16:06.19
THE PROPHET I'D FEEL A
LOT BETTER.' SAMUEL WAS DEAD.
00:16:06.23\00:16:10.43
AND SO THEY GOT OUT THEIR LITTLE
BLACK BOOK AND THEY FOUND A
00:16:10.47\00:16:14.44
WITCH THAT WAS STILL ALIVE IN A
PLACE CALLED ENDOR - ENDOR - THE
00:16:14.47\00:16:18.84
NAME SOUND OMINOUS IN ITSELF.
AND SO HE WENT TO THIS WITCH AND
00:16:18.87\00:16:24.51
SHE WENT THROUGH HER
INCANTATIONS AND SHE CONJURED UP
00:16:24.55\00:16:27.12
THIS APPARITION THAT CLAIMED
TO BE THE PROPHET SAMUEL.
00:16:27.15\00:16:31.65
AND THIS GHOST OR
WHATEVER IT WAS SAID,
00:16:31.69\00:16:34.39
'WHY HAVE YOU DISQUIETED
ME AND BROUGHT ME UP?' -
00:16:34.42\00:16:37.46
SAMUEL THE PROPHET COMING UP?
00:16:37.49\00:16:39.96
DOES THE DEVIL HAVE
THE POWER TO RESURRECT?
00:16:40.00\00:16:42.73
SHE WENT THROUGH EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENS AT A MODERN SÉANCE AND,
00:16:42.76\00:16:46.27
YES, SAMUEL GAVE A MESSAGE -
THIS GHOST THAT CLAIMED TO BE
00:16:46.30\00:16:49.60
SAMUEL - IT WAS NOT SAMUEL -
A TOTALLY DISCOURAGING, HOPELESS
00:16:49.64\00:16:53.41
MESSAGE THAT FORETOLD THAT SAUL
AND HIS SONS WOULD BE DEAD THE
00:16:53.44\00:16:56.81
NEXT DAY. YOU KNOW,
EVEN WEATHERMEN GET IT
00:16:56.85\00:17:00.48
RIGHT SOMETIMES. THE
DEVIL KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO
00:17:00.52\00:17:02.32
HAPPEN IN THAT
BATTLE, ESPECIALLY IF HE COULD
00:17:02.35\00:17:04.22
DISCOURAGE SAUL. SO
SOME PEOPLE WONDER IF 'WELL,
00:17:04.25\00:17:07.09
MAYBE THIS WAS REALLY
SAMUEL.' NO, IT WASN'T.
00:17:07.12\00:17:09.76
MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ
- THE BIBLE TELLS US ONE OF THE
00:17:09.79\00:17:12.76
REASONS THAT SAUL GOT IN SO
MUCH TROUBLE AND WAS CURSED: 1
00:17:12.79\00:17:18.73
CHRONICLES 10:13, "SO SAUL DIED
FOR HIS UNFAITHFULNESS WHICH HE
00:17:18.77\00:17:23.47
HAD COMMITTED AGAINST THE LORD,
BECAUSE HE DID NOT KEEP THE WORD
00:17:23.51\00:17:26.78
OF THE LORD, AND ALSO BECAUSE HE
CONSULTED A MEDIUM" - THIS WITCH
00:17:26.81\00:17:30.75
OF ENDOR - "FOR GUIDANCE."
SHOULD WE GET OUR GUIDANCE FROM
00:17:30.78\00:17:34.62
A MEDIUM? SOMEONE WHO SAID,
'I'VE PASSED TO THE OTHER SIDE
00:17:34.65\00:17:37.69
AND I'VE COME BACK. I'VE
GOT A MESSAGE FOR YOU.' IN
00:17:37.72\00:17:41.09
THE LAST DAYS THE DECEPTION
WOULD BE SO PERSUASIVE THAT IF
00:17:41.12\00:17:44.19
IT WERE POSSIBLE, EVEN THE
VERY ELECT WOULD BE DECEIVED.
00:17:44.23\00:17:47.50
IT REALLY TROUBLES ME WHEN I
HEAR CHRISTIANS JUST FALLING ALL
00:17:47.56\00:17:50.40
OVER THEMSELVES TO READ THESE
BOOKS AND GET THESE MESSAGES
00:17:50.43\00:17:53.40
FROM PEOPLE WHO SUPPOSEDLY HAVE
BEEN TO HEAVEN OR HELL - SOMEONE
00:17:53.44\00:17:56.94
ELSE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT 23
MINUTES IN HELL - AND THESE
00:17:56.97\00:17:59.87
CHRISTIANS GOBBLE IT UP
AND THE INFORMATION IN THERE
00:17:59.91\00:18:02.21
HAS GOD PORTRAYED AS A TYRANT.
AND THE DEVIL USES THESE THINGS
00:18:02.24\00:18:06.95
TO TWIST THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD.
HOW DOES JESUS, IN THE BIBLE,
00:18:06.98\00:18:11.85
REFER TO DEATH? JOHN
11:11 - IT TELLS US, "OUR
00:18:11.89\00:18:17.66
FRIEND LAZARUS SLEEPS, BUT
I GO THAT I MAY WAKE HIM UP."
00:18:17.69\00:18:22.00
HIS DISCIPLES SAID, 'LORD,
IF HE'S SLEEPING HE'LL GET WELL,
00:18:22.03\00:18:24.40
BUT JESUS SPOKE OF HIS DEATH.
00:18:24.43\00:18:27.07
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT TAKING REST AND SLEEP AND
00:18:27.10\00:18:30.27
JESUS SAID TO THEM PLAINLY,
'LAZARUS IS DEAD.' SO WHAT DID
00:18:30.31\00:18:34.44
JESUS CALL DEATH?
IT'S A DREAMLESS SLEEP.
00:18:34.48\00:18:38.51
YOU KNOW, THE WORD 'SLEEP' IS
USED - OR 'REST' - TO DESCRIBE
00:18:38.55\00:18:43.69
DEATH OVER 30
TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:18:43.72\00:18:46.55
SO IT'S OKAY FOR
US TO USE THAT TERM.
00:18:46.59\00:18:48.89
YOU CAN GO THROUGH A LOT
OF GRAVEYARDS - YOU CAN TELL
00:18:48.92\00:18:50.89
THERE'S CONFUSION
EVEN IN A CHURCH CEMETERY.
00:18:50.93\00:18:53.53
ONE GRAVE WILL SAY 'OUR DEARLY
BELOVED MOTHER IS NOW RESTING IN
00:18:53.56\00:18:58.13
JESUS WAITING FOR
THE RESURRECTION TRUMP'.
00:18:58.17\00:19:01.14
YOU'LL SEE GRAVES LIKE
THAT IN A BAPTIST OR A METHODIST
00:19:01.17\00:19:03.04
GRAVEYARD. THEN
YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER ONE THAT
00:19:03.07\00:19:05.01
SAYS, 'OUR DEARLY BELOVED MOTHER
IS NOW SINGING WITH THE ANGELS
00:19:05.04\00:19:07.58
ON THE GOLDEN STREETS.' I MEAN,
THERE'S GREAT CONFUSION ON THIS.
00:19:07.61\00:19:11.55
BUT THE BIBLE'S PRETTY
CLEAR - THEY'RE NOT THERE YET.
00:19:11.58\00:19:13.52
AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW FOR
SURE, IF ANYBODY IN THE BIBLE
00:19:13.55\00:19:17.02
SHOULD HAVE HAD A NEAR-DEATH
EXPERIENCE - IF ANYBODY SHOULD
00:19:17.05\00:19:20.72
HAVE HAD AN EXPERIENCE,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LAZARUS.
00:19:20.76\00:19:24.76
HE WAS DEAD FOR FOUR DAYS.
00:19:24.79\00:19:27.20
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT EVERY
NEWS AGENCY IN THE WORLD WOULD
00:19:27.23\00:19:29.60
HAVE COME TO HIM AND SHOVED
THEIR CAMERAS IN HIS FACE AND
00:19:29.63\00:19:31.70
SAID, 'SO, WHAT DID YOU SEE?'
IT WASN'T JUST 23 MINUTES IN
00:19:31.73\00:19:35.64
HELL OR 90 MINUTES IN
HEAVEN, HE HAD FOUR DAYS.
00:19:35.67\00:19:39.71
YOU KNOW WHAT HE
COMMENTED ON? NOTHING.
00:19:39.74\00:19:43.45
WOULDN'T THE BIBLE
HAVE SAID SOMETHING?
00:19:43.48\00:19:45.61
HE SAID NOTHING. WHY? BECAUSE
HE EXPERIENCED NOTHING. WHY?
00:19:45.65\00:19:48.52
BECAUSE HE WAS
DEAD AND HE WAS ASLEEP.
00:19:48.55\00:19:51.49
IF YOU'RE ALMOST DEAD YOU MIGHT
HAVE A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
00:19:51.52\00:19:54.62
BECAUSE YOU'RE
NOT COMPLETELY DEAD.
00:19:54.66\00:19:56.66
NO ONE - SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE
THEIR HEART STOP AND EVEN TAKE
00:19:56.69\00:19:59.49
THEIR HEART OUT AND A NEW
HEART PUT IN AND THEY'LL HAVE A
00:19:59.53\00:20:02.26
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE. NO
ONE HAS THEIR BRAIN REMOVED
00:20:02.30\00:20:04.23
AND HAS THAT EXPERIENCE
BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY
00:20:04.27\00:20:08.37
EXPERIENCE IN THE BRAIN.
MATTER OF FACT, THERE ARE
00:20:08.40\00:20:10.31
APPROXIMATELY TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE.
00:20:10.34\00:20:15.11
AND OF THOSE TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS, HOW MANY OF THEM
00:20:15.14\00:20:17.15
COMMENTED ON THEIR
EXPERIENCE IN DEATH? ZERO.
00:20:17.18\00:20:21.42
SO HOW MUCH SHOULD CHRISTIANS
SPECULATE ABOUT TRUTH COMING
00:20:21.45\00:20:24.45
FROM A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
OR A DREAM OR A VISION OR WHEN
00:20:24.49\00:20:29.09
YOU'RE IN A COMA? JOHN
5:28-29, JESUS SAID, "DO
00:20:29.12\00:20:33.26
NOT MARVEL AT THIS; FOR THE HOUR
IS COMING IN WHICH ALL WHO ARE
00:20:33.29\00:20:36.36
IN THE GRAVES
WILL HEAR HIS VOICE." -
00:20:36.40\00:20:38.13
THE HOUR IS COMING - IT HASN'T
HAPPENED YET - "AND COME FORTH -
00:20:38.17\00:20:41.27
THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD, TO THE
RESURRECTION OF LIFE, AND THOSE
00:20:41.30\00:20:44.64
WHO HAVE DONE EVIL, TO THE
RESURRECTION OF CONDEMNATION."
00:20:44.67\00:20:47.61
AND JESUS SAID, 'I
WILL RAISE HIM UP' - WHEN? -
00:20:47.64\00:20:49.88
'THE LAST DAY.' THAT
RESURRECTION HASN'T HAPPENED
00:20:49.91\00:20:52.91
YET. WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? 1
THESSALONIANS 4:13, "BUT I DO
00:20:52.95\00:20:58.25
NOT WANT YOU TO BE IGNORANT,
BRETHREN, CONCERNING THOSE WHO
00:20:58.29\00:21:00.82
HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP" -
WHAT'S PAUL TALKING ABOUT?
00:21:00.86\00:21:03.63
THOSE WHO ARE DEAD - "LEST
YOU SORROW AS OTHERS WHO HAVE NO
00:21:03.66\00:21:06.86
HOPE." WILL WE SEE
OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN? YES,
00:21:06.90\00:21:10.93
I BELIEVE WE WILL. IT
SAYS IN VERSE 16, "FOR THE
00:21:10.97\00:21:15.04
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE
00:21:15.07\00:21:17.64
VOICE OF AN ARCHANGEL,
AND WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD.
00:21:17.67\00:21:20.11
AND THE DEAD IN
CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST."
00:21:20.14\00:21:23.18
THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE WILL
BE CAUGHT UP TO MEET HIM IN THE
00:21:23.21\00:21:25.31
AIR. IF YOU
REALLY WANT TO KNOW 'WHEN
00:21:25.35\00:21:27.02
DOES THIS RESURRECTION TAKE
PLACE?' YOU CAN'T MISINTERPRET
00:21:27.05\00:21:29.55
PAUL'S WORDS IN 1 CORINTHIANS
15:22-23, "FOR AS IN ADAM ALL
00:21:29.58\00:21:34.09
DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST
ALL SHALL BE MADE ALIVE.
00:21:34.12\00:21:38.53
BUT EACH ONE IN HIS OWN ORDER:
CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS," - HE
00:21:38.56\00:21:43.10
ROSE 2,000 YEARS AGO -
"AFTERWARD THOSE WHO ARE
00:21:43.13\00:21:46.80
CHRIST'S" - THE DEAD IN
CHRIST - "AT HIS COMING."
00:21:46.84\00:21:50.87
WHEN DO THEY RISE? AT HIS
COMING. ARE THEY RISEN YET? NO.
00:21:50.91\00:21:55.81
WHY AM I TAKING
TIME TO TALK ABOUT THIS?
00:21:55.84\00:21:58.48
BECAUSE THE DEVIL SAYS - THE
BIBLE SAYS, RATHER - THE BIBLE
00:21:58.51\00:22:02.65
SAYS, IN THE LAST DAYS, THAT
THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE
00:22:02.68\00:22:06.15
MAIN DECEPTIONS OF THE ENEMY.
2 THESSALONIANS 2:9-11, "THE
00:22:06.19\00:22:11.23
COMING OF THE LAWLESS ONE
IS ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF
00:22:11.26\00:22:13.96
SATAN, WITH ALL POWER, SIGNS,
AND LYING WONDERS, AND WITH ALL
00:22:14.00\00:22:17.77
UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION AMONG
THOSE WHO PERISH, BECAUSE THEY
00:22:17.80\00:22:21.94
DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE
TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
00:22:21.97\00:22:25.57
AND FOR THIS REASON GOD WILL
SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, THAT
00:22:25.61\00:22:29.18
THEY SHOULD BELIEVE THE LIE."
PAUL'S NOT WRITING TO THE PAGANS
00:22:29.21\00:22:32.38
THAT ARE LOST OUT IN THE WORLD,
HE'S TALKING TO THE CHURCH.
00:22:32.41\00:22:36.22
AND IF THEY DON'T RECEIVE A
LOVE OF THE WORD, THE DEVIL WILL
00:22:36.25\00:22:39.12
EXPLOIT THAT AND THEY'LL HAVE
ALL KINDS OF EXPERIENCES AND BE
00:22:39.15\00:22:41.99
VERY SINCERE AND GOD WILL ALLOW
THEM TO BELIEVE THESE DEADLY
00:22:42.02\00:22:47.93
DELUSIONS. IT
TELLS US IN REVELATION
00:22:47.96\00:22:50.53
CHAPTER 16 THAT THREE UNCLEAN
SPIRITS LIKE FROGS COME OUT OF
00:22:50.57\00:22:55.30
THE MOUTHS OF THE
BEAST, THE DRAGON, AND THE
00:22:55.34\00:22:57.47
FALSE PROPHET AND IT
SAYS, 'THEY'RE DEVILS WORKING
00:22:57.51\00:23:00.41
MIRACLES.' 2 CORINTHIANS 11,
'SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED
00:23:00.44\00:23:05.31
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.' SO WHO
ARE THESE BEINGS THAT SUPPOSEDLY
00:23:05.35\00:23:11.82
COMMUNICATE IN THE DREAMS?
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:23:11.85\00:23:15.16
SPIRITS OF
DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES.
00:23:15.19\00:23:18.26
IT SAYS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
'THEY ARE LYING SPIRITS.' THE
00:23:18.29\00:23:21.33
DEVIL DIDN'T FALL ALONE, HE
TOOK ANGELS WITH HIM AND THEY'RE
00:23:21.36\00:23:24.10
GOING AROUND DOING ALL THEY CAN
TO DECEIVE PEOPLE IN THE LAST
00:23:24.13\00:23:27.27
DAYS. WITCHCRAFT
IS ONE OF THE WORKS
00:23:27.30\00:23:30.54
OF THE FLESH LISTED IN GALATIANS
5:20 THAT IS FORBIDDEN.
00:23:30.57\00:23:34.48
PAUL SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS
00:23:34.51\00:23:37.75
OF DARKNESS, IN EPHESIANS.
AND SO THERE'S DIABOLICAL
00:23:37.78\00:23:41.65
ACTIVITY GOING ON OUT THERE, BUT
WHAT'S ESPECIALLY TROUBLING -
00:23:41.68\00:23:45.32
IT'S BEEN PUTTING ON THE
GARB OF CHRISTIANITY LATELY.
00:23:45.35\00:23:49.12
AND WHEN IT'S PORTRAYED -
ESPECIALLY THROUGH A LITTLE
00:23:49.16\00:23:52.43
CHILD, OR THROUGH 'WHY THIS
PERSON WAS CONVERTED THROUGH
00:23:52.46\00:23:56.90
THIS EXPERIENCE AND THERE WAS
PRAYER THAT WAS HAPPENING.' AND
00:23:56.93\00:24:00.67
IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE THINGS,
PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL IT MUST BE
00:24:00.70\00:24:03.71
OF GOD.' BUT IF IT DOES NOT
SPEAK ACCORDING TO THIS WORD,
00:24:03.74\00:24:07.04
THERE'S NO LIGHT IN THEM. I
BELIEVE JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.
00:24:07.08\00:24:11.68
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S
GOING TO BE A RESURRECTION.
00:24:11.71\00:24:14.68
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING
TO SEE OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN.
00:24:14.72\00:24:17.25
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD
BE TRYING TO CHANNEL AND GET
00:24:17.29\00:24:20.86
MESSAGES FROM THEM NOW BECAUSE
THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR ON THAT
00:24:20.89\00:24:24.26
SUBJECT: LET ALL WHO HONOR GOD
SHUN THE WORLD OF THE OCCULT.
00:24:24.29\00:24:30.73
SOMEONE REMINDED ME OF THE WORDS
OF RUDYARD KIPLING - HE WROTE A
00:24:30.77\00:24:34.00
POEM ON THIS: 'OH, THE ROAD TO
ENDOR IS THE OLDEST ROAD AND THE
00:24:34.04\00:24:39.41
CRAZIEST ROAD OF ALL!
STRAIGHT IT RUNS TO THE WITCH'S
00:24:39.44\00:24:42.68
ABODE, AS IT DID IN THE DAYS OF
SAUL, AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED OF
00:24:42.71\00:24:46.85
THE SORROW IN STORE FOR SUCH AS
GO DOWN ON THE ROAD TO ENDOR!"
00:24:46.88\00:24:51.89
DON'T GO DOWN THAT ROAD FRIENDS,
EVEN IF IT'S IN A BLOCKBUSTER
00:24:51.92\00:24:56.12
MOVIE OR A BEST-SELLING BOOK.
GOD WANTS US TO STAY AWAY FROM
00:24:56.16\00:24:59.89
THESE MESSAGES THAT THE DEVIL
IS TRYING TO TWEAK OUR THEOLOGY
00:24:59.93\00:25:04.03
WITH DECEIVING
SPIRITS. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.
00:25:04.07\00:25:07.64
HE SAYS, "I AM THE
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
00:25:07.67\00:25:10.14
HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THOUGH
HE MAY DIE, HE SHALL LIVE.
00:25:10.17\00:25:13.58
AND WHOEVER LIVES AND
BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE."
00:25:13.61\00:25:17.31
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
AND DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
00:25:17.35\00:25:20.55
