DOUG BATCHELOR: WHAT DO
YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR
00:00:09.20\00:00:10.74
THE NUMBER 666?
00:00:10.77\00:00:13.44
PERHAPS IT CONJURES UP OMINOUS
IMAGES OF OCCULT CEREMONIES
00:00:13.48\00:00:17.21
AND THE EVIL POWERS
MENTIONED IN BIBLE PROPHECY.
00:00:17.25\00:00:20.48
SOME PEOPLE HAVE EVEN REFUSED
PHONE NUMBERS, LICENSE PLATES,
00:00:20.52\00:00:23.45
AND CREDIT CARDS THAT
MIGHT CONTAIN THE NUMBER 666
00:00:23.49\00:00:26.99
BECAUSE OF THEIR
FEARFUL SUPERSTITIONS.
00:00:27.02\00:00:29.69
WHILE WE DON'T NEED TO
BE AFRAID OF THE NUMBER 666,
00:00:29.72\00:00:32.73
IT IS INTERESTING TO
NOTE THAT MATHEMATICALLY
00:00:32.76\00:00:35.60
666 IS A VERY UNIQUE NUMBER.
00:00:35.63\00:00:38.80
IT'S THE SUM OF THE
FIRST 36 NATURAL NUMBERS,
00:00:38.83\00:00:42.70
MEANING IF YOU ADD ONE
PLUS TWO PLUS THREE PLUS FOUR
00:00:42.74\00:00:45.91
ON UP TO 36, IT ADDS UP TO 666,
00:00:45.94\00:00:49.81
AND THAT WOULD MEAN IF
YOU ADD UP ALL THE NUMBERS
00:00:49.84\00:00:51.68
ON A ROULETTE
WHEEL, IT COMES TO 666.
00:00:51.71\00:00:55.32
IT'S ALSO THE SUM OF THE SQUARES
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.49
OF THE FIRST
SEVEN PRIME NUMBERS.
00:00:57.52\00:01:00.09
FURTHERMORE, IF YOU ADD TOGETHER
00:01:00.12\00:01:02.12
THE FIRST SIX ROMAN
NUMERALS, THE TOTAL IS,
00:01:02.16\00:01:05.79
YOU GUESSED IT, 666.
00:01:05.83\00:01:08.50
EVEN ORGANIC
MOLECULES ARE BASED ON CARBON 12
00:01:08.53\00:01:11.77
WITH SIX PROTONS, SIX
NEUTRONS IN THE NUCLEUS
00:01:11.80\00:01:15.14
SURROUNDED BY SIX ELECTRONS.
00:01:15.17\00:01:17.74
REVELATION 13
SPEAKS OF A BEAST AND A MAN
00:01:17.77\00:01:20.84
WHOSE NUMBER IS 666.
00:01:20.88\00:01:23.35
OBVIOUSLY, IT HELPS
US TO IDENTIFY A POWER
00:01:23.38\00:01:26.11
THAT IS OPPOSED TO GOD,
00:01:26.15\00:01:28.28
BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS POWER,
00:01:28.32\00:01:30.69
AND HOW CAN WE AVOID
RECEIVING ITS DEADLY MARK?
00:01:30.72\00:01:34.16
JOIN ME NOW AS WE
EXPLORE THE BIBLE FACTS
00:01:34.19\00:01:37.09
ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:01:37.13\00:01:38.93
DOUG: OUR STUDY, TODAY,
IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE.
00:01:43.30\00:01:45.13
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS
WHO ARE WATCHING PROPHECY
00:01:45.17\00:01:46.94
ENCOUNTER - TALKING ABOUT A VEY
IMPORTANT AND INTENSE SUBJECT
00:01:46.97\00:01:52.11
CALLED THE MARK OF THE BEAST .
AND WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THAT, RIGHT
00:01:52.14\00:01:56.14
AWAY ALL KINDS OF
IMAGES COME INTO FOLKS' MINDS.
00:01:56.18\00:01:59.48
THEY WONDER, WHAT IS THIS?
IS THIS A COMPUTER CHIP UNDER
00:01:59.51\00:02:02.28
THE SKIN? IS IT
6-6-6 TATTOOED IN THE
00:02:02.32\00:02:05.29
FOREHEAD? IS IT A
SPECIAL SUPER CARD THAT
00:02:05.32\00:02:08.19
YOU CARRY IN YOUR PURSE OR YOUR
WALLET? AND WHAT IS THIS MARK?
00:02:08.22\00:02:14.13
IS IT SOMETHING PHYSICAL,
IS IT SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
00:02:14.20\00:02:17.17
WELL, WE'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:02:17.20\00:02:19.40
FIRST QUESTION: WHO IS PROTECTED
DURING THE SEVEN FINAL PLAGUES
00:02:19.43\00:02:24.21
THAT YOU FIND IN REVELATION?
THIS IS IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7
00:02:24.24\00:02:27.48
- IT SAYS THERE, "HURT NOT THE
EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE
00:02:27.51\00:02:31.48
TREES, TILL WE HAVE
SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
00:02:31.51\00:02:35.82
IN THEIR FOREHEADS."
THERE IS A GROUP THAT IS
00:02:35.85\00:02:37.99
PROTECTED AND THEY GET
A MARK IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
00:02:38.02\00:02:40.56
YOU MAY NOT HAVE CAUGHT THIS
EARLIER BUT, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
00:02:40.59\00:02:43.36
MARKED IN REVELATION? EVERYBODY.
00:02:43.39\00:02:49.10
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
ONE GROUP'S GOT THE MARK OF THE
00:02:49.13\00:02:52.37
BEAST AND ANOTHER
GROUP'S GOT THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:02:52.40\00:02:54.54
ONE'S GOT THE FATHER'S
NAME IN THE FOREHEAD - YOU GO TO
00:02:54.57\00:02:57.07
REVELATION 17, SHE'S GOT
A PARAGRAPH THAT CALLS HER A
00:02:57.11\00:02:59.64
HARLOT IN HER
FOREHEAD. WHAT WAS IT THAT
00:02:59.67\00:03:02.61
BROUGHT DOWN GOLIATH? A
STONE. WHERE? IN THE FOREHEAD.
00:03:02.64\00:03:09.48
THE WORD OF GOD - CHRIST IS THE
ROCK - THAT WORD OF GOD - TEN
00:03:09.52\00:03:13.59
COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN ON STONE
- IN THE FOREHEAD - BRINGS DOWN
00:03:13.62\00:03:16.19
THE DEVIL - JESUS FOUGHT THE
DEVIL IN THE WILDERNESS, 'IT IS
00:03:16.22\00:03:19.16
WRITTEN. IT IS WRITTEN.
00:03:19.19\00:03:20.50
IT IS WRITTEN.' AND
THE DEVIL FELL ON HIS FACE.
00:03:20.53\00:03:23.90
AND SO, GOLIATH, THAT
STORY IS EVEN A SYMBOL OF THAT.
00:03:23.93\00:03:26.53
WHAT IS THE SEAL THE RIGHTEOUS
RECEIVE IN THEIR FOREHEADS?
00:03:26.57\00:03:31.24
IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IN ISAIAH
8:16, "BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:03:31.27\00:03:35.84
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:03:35.88\00:03:39.38
SO THE LAW OF GOD
IS THE NEW COVENANT.
00:03:39.41\00:03:41.48
THY - 'HIS LAW HE WILL WRITE IN
OUR HEARTS.' AND IN THE HEART,
00:03:41.52\00:03:44.55
WHEN YOU SAY, 'THE HEART'
BIBLICALLY, YOU DON'T POINT
00:03:44.59\00:03:46.55
HERE. WHEN YOU SAY 'THE HEART'
00:03:46.59\00:03:48.26
BIBLICALLY, YOU POINT
HERE. 'AS A MAN THINKETH,
00:03:48.29\00:03:50.86
IN HIS HEART' - OKAY? SO
THE LAW OF GOD IS HERE IN THE
00:03:50.89\00:03:54.56
FOREHEAD, IN THE
HAND IS IN THE ACTIONS.
00:03:54.60\00:03:57.73
AND HE WANTS HIS LAW - NOW
EVERYBODY THAT HAS THE MARK OF
00:03:57.77\00:04:01.90
THE BEAST HAS WHOSE
SPIRIT? THE DEVIL'S SPIRIT.
00:04:01.94\00:04:06.04
EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE
SEAL OF GOD HAS WHOSE SPIRIT?
00:04:06.07\00:04:09.81
HAS GOD'S SPIRIT. SO WE
ALREADY KNOW THAT, AND WE
00:04:09.84\00:04:12.28
SHOWED YOU WHERE, IN
EPHESIANS, IT SAYS WE ARE SEALED
00:04:12.31\00:04:16.12
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT
THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPER IN
00:04:16.15\00:04:18.79
GOD'S LAW THAT
REVEALS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:04:18.82\00:04:22.09
NOW, LET'S REMIND YOU
WHAT HAS A BIBLICAL SEAL?
00:04:22.12\00:04:24.99
WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE AN OFFICIAL
00:04:25.03\00:04:27.03
SEAL TODAY -
THREE MAIN COMPONENTS.
00:04:27.03\00:04:29.96
IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE NAME OF
THE INDIVIDUAL, THEIR OFFICIAL
00:04:30.00\00:04:34.00
TITLE THAT GIVES THEM AUTHORITY,
AND THEN THEIR TERRITORY - YOU
00:04:34.04\00:04:38.17
KNOW, IT'S USUALLY
RESTRICTED TO SOME PLACE.
00:04:38.21\00:04:41.91
YOU CAN FIND THE SEAL OF GOD IN
THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, IN THE
00:04:41.94\00:04:46.05
COMMANDMENT THAT IS THE LONGEST,
AND THE ONE THAT BEGINS WITH THE
00:04:46.08\00:04:49.82
WORD 'REMEMBER', AND IT'S THE
ONLY COMMANDMENT WHERE YOU FIND
00:04:49.85\00:04:52.85
THE WORD 'HOLY', AND
IT'S THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:04:52.89\00:04:57.53
IT TALKS ABOUT OUR TIME - GIVING
OUR TIME - GIVING OUR WORSHIP TO
00:04:57.56\00:05:01.16
GOD. HE MADE AN
APPOINTMENT WITH US.
00:05:01.20\00:05:03.63
HE'S SO IMPORTANT TO US, WE WILL
KEEP THAT SACRED APPOINTMENT
00:05:03.67\00:05:06.03
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND WE WANT
TO NURTURE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
00:05:06.07\00:05:09.94
SO WHICH OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
HAS THAT SEAL - THE COMPONENTS
00:05:09.97\00:05:13.44
OF A SEAL IN IT?
FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:05:13.48\00:05:16.61
LET'S LOOK AT IT - EXODUS 20,
VERSE 11, "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE
00:05:16.64\00:05:20.55
LORD MADE" - THAT'S HIS NAME,
THE LORD - "MADE" - CREATOR -
00:05:20.58\00:05:24.25
HERE'S HIS TERRITORY -
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
00:05:24.29\00:05:26.45
IS ANYTHING NOT INCLUDED
IN THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH?
00:05:26.49\00:05:29.09
'CAUSE HE'S THE LORD OF ALL.
HE IS JEHOVAH, THE CREATOR AND
00:05:29.12\00:05:34.63
SUSTAINER OF THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:05:34.66\00:05:37.33
THE SEAL OF GOD IS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LAW OF GOD AND THAT LAW
00:05:37.37\00:05:40.47
SHOULD BE IN OUR
HEARTS AND IN OUR MINDS.
00:05:40.50\00:05:42.80
I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS
STUDY REAL EASY FOR YOU.
00:05:42.84\00:05:45.54
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IT
SAYS, IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6,
00:05:45.57\00:05:51.41
WHOEVER YOU OBEY,
THAT'S WHOSE SERVANT YOU ARE.
00:05:51.45\00:05:54.95
SO, TRYING TO ANALYZE AND MELT
DOWN AND BREAK DOWN EXACTLY WHAT
00:05:54.98\00:05:59.22
IS THE MARK OF THE
BEAST? IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
00:05:59.25\00:06:02.09
IT'S WHO DO YOU
WORSHIP? NOW, HOW DID THE EARLY
00:06:02.12\00:06:05.09
PROTESTANTS IDENTIFY THE
BEAST? WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
00:06:05.13\00:06:07.66
A LITTLE CHURCH HISTORY.
WHAT IS IT THAT DISTINGUISHES
00:06:07.66\00:06:10.07
PROTESTANTS FROM CATHOLICS? OF
COURSE, PROTESTANTS PROTESTED.
00:06:10.10\00:06:13.10
MARTIN LUTHER WAS THE ONE
WHO NAILED - BY THE WAY, WE'RE,
00:06:13.13\00:06:16.40
RIGHT NOW, IN THAT 500-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY FOR MARTIN LUTHER
00:06:16.44\00:06:20.24
NAILING HIS PROTESTS ON
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH IN
00:06:20.28\00:06:23.28
WITTENBERG AND ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MOST PROTESTANTS HELD IN
00:06:23.31\00:06:27.22
COMMON WAS THEY WERE ALL
UNITEDLY AGREED OF WHO THE
00:06:27.25\00:06:32.79
ANTICHRIST POWER WAS
IDENTIFIED THERE IN DANIEL 7, IN
00:06:32.82\00:06:37.29
2 THESSALONIANS, IN REVELATION
13 - AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ
00:06:37.33\00:06:41.00
SOME QUOTES NOW, SO PUT ON YOUR
SEAT BELT. BEFORE I READ THESE
00:06:41.03\00:06:43.37
TO YOU, I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY
CLEAR THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD,
00:06:43.40\00:06:49.00
LOVING, CHRISTIAN PEOPLE
IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
00:06:49.04\00:06:52.67
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY
INDIVIDUALS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:06:52.71\00:06:55.34
THE OFFICIAL POSITIONS THAT
THEY HOLD AND THE - HOW THEY
00:06:55.38\00:07:00.68
INTERPRET THE PLACE OF GOD
IN THE SCRIPTURES IN SALVATION.
00:07:00.72\00:07:04.89
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST AN
ANALYTICAL STUDY, BUT HERE'S
00:07:04.92\00:07:07.52
WHAT THEY SAID. JOHN
WYCLIFFE, HE WAS CALLED THE
00:07:07.56\00:07:11.16
STAR OF THE
REFORMATION - THE MORNING STAR.
00:07:11.19\00:07:14.00
HE'S THE ONE WHO TRANSLATED
THE BIBLE FIRST INTO ENGLISH.
00:07:14.00\00:07:17.03
I'VE BEEN TO
ENGLAND AND SEEN IT THERE.
00:07:17.07\00:07:19.27
HE SAID, "WE SUPPOSE THAT
ANTICHRIST, THE HEAD OF ALL
00:07:19.30\00:07:22.44
THESE EVIL MEN,
IS THE POPE OF ROME."
00:07:22.47\00:07:24.57
BY THE WAY, WHAT
CHURCH DID HE BELONG TO?
00:07:24.61\00:07:27.04
CATHOLIC CHURCH. SO
HERE YOU HAVE A CATHOLIC
00:07:27.08\00:07:31.08
SCHOLAR WHO IS SAYING
IT'S THE POPE OF ROME.
00:07:31.11\00:07:34.38
AGAIN, JOHN HUSS, HE SAID,
"THE POPE IS THE TRUE ANTICHRIST
00:07:35.08\00:07:40.12
OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN THAT
HE SITS IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD,
00:07:40.16\00:07:43.79
AMONG THE PEOPLE
WHERE CHRIST IS WORSHIPED."
00:07:43.83\00:07:47.23
MARTIN LUTHER, "THIS TEACHING
[OF THE SUPREMACY OF THE POPE]
00:07:47.23\00:07:50.27
SHOWS FORCEFULLY THAT THE
POPE IS THE VERY ANTICHRIST."
00:07:50.30\00:07:53.44
- THEY DIDN'T
MINCE WORDS, DID THEY?
00:07:53.47\00:07:55.27
- "WHO HAS EXALTED HIMSELF
ABOVE, AND OPPOSED HIMSELF
00:07:55.30\00:07:58.51
AGAINST CHRIST." HERE
YOU'VE GOT CALVIN, "DANIEL
00:07:58.54\00:08:01.91
AND PAUL HAD PREDICTED
THAT ANTICHRIST WOULD SIT IN THE
00:08:01.94\00:08:05.48
TEMPLE OF GOD...WE
AFFIRM HIM TO BE THE POPE."
00:08:05.51\00:08:09.35
SO IF YOU'VE GOT ANY BAPTIST
ROOTS OR CALVINISTIC TEACHINGS -
00:08:09.38\00:08:13.09
IT'S WHAT CALVIN BELIEVED, IT'S
WHAT LUTHER BELIEVED - JOHN KNOX
00:08:13.12\00:08:16.49
- PRESBYTERIAN, "YEA, WE DOUBT
NOT TO PROVE THE KINGDOM OF THE
00:08:16.52\00:08:20.26
POPE TO BE THE KINGDOM
AND POWER OF ANTICHRIST."
00:08:20.30\00:08:23.73
ROGER WILLIAMS - IN AMERICA
WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND
00:08:23.77\00:08:27.27
STATE LARGELY BECAUSE OF ROGER
WILLIAMS. WILLIAMS HAD A VERY
00:08:27.30\00:08:31.01
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING.
HE SAID, 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:08:31.04\00:08:33.91
ARE ON TWO TABLES OF STONE.
ONE IS CIVIL IN NATURE AND ONE
00:08:33.94\00:08:39.68
IS MORE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE.'
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS DEAL
00:08:39.71\00:08:42.98
WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
NO GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA SHOULD
00:08:43.02\00:08:46.59
FORCE PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS.
00:08:46.62\00:08:50.03
YOU DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT
TELLING YOU WHAT GOD TO WORSHIP
00:08:50.06\00:08:51.86
OR WHEN TO WORSHIP HIM OR
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, RIGHT?
00:08:51.89\00:08:56.06
HE SAID, 'BUT NO GOVERNMENT
CAN NEGLECT THE LAST SIX
00:08:56.10\00:08:58.93
COMMANDMENTS: RESPECT OF
PROPERTY, RESPECT OF MARRIAGE,
00:08:58.97\00:09:02.97
RESPECT OF PARENTS - AND THAT
WAS A VERY BALANCED APPROACH.
00:09:03.00\00:09:08.01
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID: 'PASTOR
WILLIAMS SPOKE OF THE POPE AS
00:09:08.04\00:09:11.21
THE PRETENDED VICAR OF CHRIST ON
EARTH WHO SITS AS GOD OVER THE
00:09:11.25\00:09:15.08
TEMPLE OF GOD, EXALTING HIMSELF
NOT ONLY ABOVE ALL THAT IS
00:09:15.12\00:09:18.09
CALLED GOD BUT OVER ALL THE
SOULS AND CONSCIENCES OF ALL HIS
00:09:18.12\00:09:21.69
VASSALS, YEA OVER
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST.'
00:09:21.72\00:09:23.56
IT SAYS JOHN
WESLEY SAID, "HE IT IS...
00:09:23.96\00:09:26.49
THAT EXALTETH HIMSELF
ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD,
00:09:26.53\00:09:29.86
OR THAT IS WORSHIPPED...
CLAIMING THE HIGHEST POWER
00:09:29.90\00:09:32.70
AND HIGHEST
HONOR... CLAIMING THE
00:09:32.73\00:09:34.67
PREROGATIVES WHICH
BELONG TO GOD ALONE."
00:09:34.70\00:09:37.71
IF YOU READ THE WESTMINSTER
CONFESSION - MANY PROTESTANTS
00:09:37.74\00:09:41.28
ASCRIBE TO THIS - THERE - YOU
USED TO BE ABLE TO READ, "THERE
00:09:41.31\00:09:45.01
IS NO OTHER HEAD OF THE CHURCH
BUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOR
00:09:45.05\00:09:48.98
CAN THE POPE OF ROME IN ANY
SENSE BE HEAD THEREOF: BUT IS
00:09:49.02\00:09:53.22
THAT ANTICHRIST." (WHISTLES) I
MEAN, THIS IS - THIS IS HISTORY.
00:09:53.25\00:09:57.79
AT LEAST YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF
TO KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE -
00:09:57.83\00:10:00.73
"THAT MAN OF SIN AND SON OF
PERDITION THAT EXALTETH HIMSELF
00:10:00.76\00:10:03.33
IN THE CHURCH AGAINST CHRIST
AND ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD."
00:10:03.37\00:10:07.54
IN THE BOOK ALL
ROADS LEAD TO ROME -
00:10:07.57\00:10:10.37
"A GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES:"
00:10:10.41\00:10:12.71
- LISTEN TO THESE NAMES
00:10:12.74\00:10:13.91
- "WYCLIFFE, TYNDALE,
00:10:13.94\00:10:15.54
LUTHER, CALVIN, CRANMER;

HEARD THAT NAME?

HE WAS ALSO QUITE A BIBLE

THE PAPACY AS THE ANTICHRIST."
00:10:55.32\00:10:57.35
THEY SAID, 'IF YOU'RE GOING
TO READ THE BIBLE AND STUDY
00:10:57.39\00:10:59.05
PROPHECY, IT'S INESCAPABLE.'
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS CERTAINLY
00:10:59.09\00:11:01.99
NOT POLITICALLY
CORRECT TO SAY THAT, IS IT?
00:11:02.02\00:11:06.23
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT
A POPE, NOW, WHO'S SO NICE.
00:11:06.26\00:11:08.80
HE SEEMS LIKE SUCH A NICE,
HUMBLE MAN AND HE SEEMS TO BE
00:11:08.83\00:11:13.27
JUST, YOU KNOW, HE'S PUTTING OFF
A LOT OF THE FANFARE AND WEALTH
00:11:13.30\00:11:16.71
OF PREVIOUS POPES AND HE'S
APOLOGIZING FOR PAST HISTORY AND
00:11:16.74\00:11:20.81
SO IT'S NOT VERY POLITICALLY
CORRECT, BUT AT LEAST YOU SHOULD
00:11:20.84\00:11:23.51
KNOW THIS WAS THE POSITION
OF PROTESTANTS FOR 500 YEARS--
00:11:23.55\00:11:26.85
450.
00:11:26.88\00:11:28.45

THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS

AND FEARED SUBJECTS
FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
00:11:42.23\00:11:45.40
SOME SAY IT'S A NUMBER TATTOOED
ON OUR FOREHEADS OR A COMPUTER
00:11:45.43\00:11:49.10
CHIP EMBEDDED IN OUR HANDS.
00:11:49.14\00:11:51.77
OTHERS SUGGEST THE NUMBER IS
BEING SECRETLY INTRODUCED IN THE
00:11:51.81\00:11:54.71
WORLD NOW THROUGH A
SUPER ID CREDIT CARD.
00:11:54.74\00:11:58.28

A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE ABOUT THIS
00:11:58.31\00:12:01.45
OMINOUS ISSUE, YOU

00:12:43.36\00:12:46.23
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:46.26\00:12:48.50
DOUG: SO WHAT IS THE MYSTERIOUS
00:12:50.37\00:12:51.67
NUMBER THAT
IDENTIFIES THE BEAST?
00:12:51.70\00:12:54.60
THIS NUMBER IS -
YOU ALL KNOW IT - 6-6-6.
00:12:54.64\00:13:00.38
HERE'S A PICTURE OF A FLORIDA
STATE TROOPER - 6-6-6 ON HIS
00:13:00.41\00:13:04.25
LICENSE PLATE
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:13:04.28\00:13:09.48
SEE, YOU ALL LAUGH.
EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S
00:13:09.52\00:13:11.19
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
I WAS GETTING CHANGE AT A STORE
00:13:11.22\00:13:14.59
ONE TIME AND, I FORGET WHAT I
BOUGHT, BUT IT CAME BACK AND MY
00:13:14.62\00:13:17.33
CHANGE WAS - ALL THE THINGS
I BOUGHT CAME UP TO $6.66 - AND
00:13:17.36\00:13:21.86
THE CASHIER - THE GAL - SAID,
'OOH, LOOK AT THAT, 6-6-6.' AND
00:13:21.90\00:13:26.27
I SAID, 'YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.' I
SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?'
00:13:26.30\00:13:30.11
SHE SAID, 'NO, BUT IT'S BAD.'
(LAUGHTER) AND EVERYONE KIND OF
00:13:30.14\00:13:35.18
KNOWS THAT. THEY
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
00:13:35.21\00:13:37.71
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT IS
AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:13:37.75\00:13:39.51
IF YOU READ IN THE DOCUMENT,
PROMPTA BIBLIOTHECA , ACCORDING
00:13:39.55\00:13:44.32
TO THE 1913 CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA - THIS IS A
00:13:44.35\00:13:47.32
VERITABLE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND WILL
00:13:47.36\00:13:50.86
REMAIN A PRECIOUS
MINE OF INFORMATION.
00:13:50.89\00:13:54.10
THIS BOOK IS QUOTED FREQUENTLY
AS AN AUTHORITATIVE CATHOLIC
00:13:54.13\00:13:57.47
SOURCE. HERE'S
WHAT IT SAYS: UNDER THE
00:13:57.50\00:13:59.67
HEADING 'PAPA VICARIUS FILII
DEI APPEARS AS THE TITLE FOR THE
00:13:59.70\00:14:05.67
POPE.' THAT IS ONE OF THE
OFFICIAL TITLES OF THE POPE.
00:14:05.71\00:14:09.51
NOW, I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE THOSE LATIN WORDS.
00:14:09.54\00:14:11.48
"THE LETTERS ON THE POPE'S CROWN
ARE THESE: VICARIUS FILII DEI:
00:14:11.51\00:14:15.85
WHICH IS LATIN FOR 'VICAR OF THE
SON OF GOD.'" - REPRESENTATIVE
00:14:15.88\00:14:19.79
OF THE SON OF GOD - JESUS
SAID, 'THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY
00:14:19.82\00:14:22.52
REPRESENTATIVE.' WHEN YOU ADD
THOSE WORDS UP - HOW MANY OF YOU
00:14:22.56\00:14:29.53
REMEMBER YOUR ROMAN
NUMERALS FROM SCHOOL?
00:14:29.56\00:14:32.70
AND THE V IS? FIVE.
00:14:32.73\00:14:35.04
FIVE. EVERY NOW
AND THEN YOU'LL STILL
00:14:35.07\00:14:36.37
SEE SOMETHING WHERE THEY'RE
USING THE OLD LATIN NUMERALS.
00:14:36.40\00:14:40.28
THE LETTERS HAD NUMERICAL VALUE
- NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT SOME OF
00:14:40.31\00:14:43.98
THEM HAD NUMERICAL VALUE.
THAT TITLE, WHEN YOU VERY SIMPLY
00:14:44.01\00:14:47.45
ADD UP THE VERY REAL VALUE OF
THOSE NUMBERS, VICARIUS ADDS UP
00:14:47.48\00:14:51.22
TO 112, FILII ADDS UP
TO 53, AND DEI IS 501.
00:14:51.25\00:14:58.96
AND YOU ADD THOSE UP
AND THAT COMES TO 666.
00:14:58.99\00:15:01.96
NOW, YOU KNOW, ABOVE THE HEAD
OF THE HIGH PRIEST, HE HAD A
00:15:02.00\00:15:05.63
PLACARD. THE PLACARD
SAID, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD'.
00:15:05.67\00:15:09.64
IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU, THE
WORD 'HOLY IS IN THE SABBATH
00:15:09.67\00:15:11.31
COMMANDMENT. HOLY IS THE
SEAL OF GOD - HOLY SPIRIT.
00:15:11.34\00:15:15.04
WHEN JESUS DIED, ABOVE HIS HEAD
IT SAID, 'KING OF THE JEWS'.
00:15:15.08\00:15:18.71
AND HERE, AT LEAST ON SOME
OCCASIONS, THE POPE USED TO WEAR
00:15:18.75\00:15:20.95
A CROWN THAT SAID,
'VICARIUS FILII DEI' - 'I AM THE
00:15:20.98\00:15:23.99
REPRESENTATIVE OF
GOD'. NOW, AGAIN, I WANT TO
00:15:24.02\00:15:26.05
MAKE SURE AND BE FAIR.
HERE'S JUST - THIS IS JUST
00:15:26.09\00:15:28.62
POPE BENEDICT A FEW YEARS
AGO. HE ALMOST NEVER APPEARED
00:15:28.66\00:15:31.86
WITH THE SAME CROWN ON.
HE LIKED TO CHANGE CLOTHES.
00:15:31.89\00:15:34.36
HE WAS A LITTLE MORE
FLAMBOYANT THAT POPE FRANCIS.
00:15:34.36\00:15:37.17
NOW, THE THIRD CROWN THAT YOU
SEE HIM WEARING THERE, ON THE
00:15:37.20\00:15:39.77
RIGHT, MOST OF THE PAPAL CROWNS
USED TO HAVE THREE CROWNS, AND
00:15:39.80\00:15:44.17
THAT MEANT BECAUSE HE WAS KING
OF HEAVEN, KING OF EARTH, AND
00:15:44.21\00:15:46.11
KING OF PURGATORY. THE
TRIPLE-TIERED CROWN - ONLY
00:15:46.14\00:15:49.44
THE POPE WAS
ALLOWED TO WEAR BACK THEN.
00:15:49.48\00:15:51.75
SOME OF THOSE ANCIENT CROWNS DID
HAVE THAT PLACARD ON IT THAT HAD
00:15:51.78\00:15:54.95
THE OFFICIAL TITLE. BUT,
IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE
00:15:54.98\00:15:57.22
THAT, MAYBE YOU'LL BELIEVE
THE BOOK BY JOHN PAUL II, CALLED
00:15:57.25\00:16:01.06
ON THE THRESHOLD OF HOPE .
"THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC
00:16:01.09\00:16:04.49
CHURCH" - AND THIS IS PAGE 3 -
"IS DEFINED BY THE FAITH AS THE
00:16:04.53\00:16:07.96
VICAR OF JESUS CHRIST (AND IS
ACCEPTED AS SUCH BY BELIEVERS).
00:16:08.00\00:16:12.20
THE POPE IS CONSIDERED THE MAN
ON EARTH WHO REPRESENTS THE SON
00:16:12.23\00:16:16.71
OF GOD, WHO TAKES THE PLACE
OF THE SECOND PERSON OF THE
00:16:16.74\00:16:21.48
OMNIPOTENT GOD OF THE TRINITY."
TAKES THE PLACE OF - AND HE'S
00:16:21.51\00:16:28.18
THE VICAR FOR THE SON OF
GOD. THAT'S WHAT VICARIUS
00:16:28.22\00:16:31.22
FILII DEI REPRESENTS.
SO WHAT IS THE BEAST'S
00:16:31.25\00:16:35.06
MARK OF AUTHORITY?
NOW WE'RE GETTING MORE
00:16:35.09\00:16:37.49
SPECIFICALLY INTO THE MARK.
WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE SEAL OF
00:16:37.53\00:16:39.69
GOD IS IN THE LAW -
IT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:16:39.73\00:16:43.00
AND, IN PARTICULAR, THE
SABBATH REPRESENTS THAT.
00:16:43.03\00:16:45.77
NOW I'M GOING TO READ TO
YOU FROM THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM.
00:16:45.80\00:16:48.44
CATECHISM USES
QUESTION AND ANSWER METHOD.
00:16:48.47\00:16:52.41
AND, WHEN YOU'RE - THIS IS
WRITTEN BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
00:16:52.44\00:16:54.84
WHEN YOU'RE
TEACHING. QUESTION: WHICH DAY
00:16:54.88\00:16:57.25
IS THE SABBATH DAY?
ANSWER: SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH
00:16:57.28\00:17:01.25
DAY - WHICH BEGS THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHY DO WE OBSERVE
00:17:01.28\00:17:05.42
SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?
ANSWER: WE OBSERVE SUNDAY
00:17:05.45\00:17:09.82
INSTEAD OF SATURDAY BECAUSE
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSFERRED
00:17:09.86\00:17:13.80
THE SOLEMNITY FROM
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY.
00:17:13.83\00:17:18.57
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED, IT WASN'T DONE BY
00:17:18.60\00:17:20.57
JESUS; IT WASN'T DONE BY THE
APOSTLES; IT HAPPENED HUNDREDS
00:17:20.60\00:17:23.64
OF YEARS LATER. IT
HAPPENED GRADUALLY.
00:17:23.67\00:17:26.01
PART OF THE REASON WAS BECAUSE,
WHEN THE ROMANS BEGAN TO FIGHT
00:17:26.04\00:17:30.25
AGAINST THE JEWS AND THEY
CONQUERED ISRAEL AGAIN - THEY
00:17:30.28\00:17:33.65
DESTROYED THE CITY - THE JEWS
BECAME - THEY FELL OUT OF FAVOR
00:17:33.68\00:17:37.95
IN ROME AND THEY ASSOCIATED
CHRISTIANITY WITH JUDAISM.
00:17:37.99\00:17:42.69
WELL, THE CHRISTIANS WANTED
TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE
00:17:42.72\00:17:44.89
JEWS AND, FOLLOWING THE
CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE, THEY
00:17:44.93\00:17:47.96
SAID, 'LOOK, WHY DON'T WE
JUST KEEP THE DAY THE PAGANS ARE
00:17:48.00\00:17:50.10
KEEPING? THE FIRST DAY - THE DAY
OF THE SUN' - BECAUSE THAT WAS
00:17:50.13\00:17:53.00
ALL ABOUT SUN WORSHIP - AND IT'S
THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION.
00:17:53.03\00:17:57.27
AND THE CHURCH LEADERS BEGAN
TO ARGUE IT, BUT THERE WAS NO
00:17:57.31\00:17:59.44
SCRIPTURE FOR IT. IT
WAS A MAN-MADE LAW AND JESUS
00:17:59.47\00:18:03.48
SAID, 'WHY DO YOU KEEP THE
TRADITIONS OF MEN AND PUT THE
00:18:03.51\00:18:06.01
COMMANDMENT OF GOD ASIDE?
SO IN THE LAST DAYS GOD IS
00:18:06.05\00:18:09.48
CALLING PEOPLE BACK TO THE WORD
- NOT JUST ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:18:09.52\00:18:12.55
SABBATH TRUTH,
BUT A NUMBER OF AREAS.
00:18:12.59\00:18:15.16
LET ME FINISH THIS QUOTE HERE,
IT SAYS, HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY
00:18:15.19\00:18:19.03
- QUESTION - HAVE YOU ANY OTHER
WAY OF PROVING THAT THE CHURCH
00:18:19.06\00:18:22.03
HAS POWER TO
INSTITUTE FESTIVALS OF PRECEPT?
00:18:22.06\00:18:26.20
AND THE ANSWER IS, YES, HAD
SHE NOT SUCH POWER SHE COULD NOT
00:18:26.23\00:18:30.71
HAVE DONE THAT IN WHICH ALL
MODERN RELIGIONISTS AGREE WITH
00:18:30.74\00:18:34.18
HER - NOT ALL, BUT MANY - SHE
COULD NOT HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE
00:18:34.21\00:18:38.15
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY THE FIRST
DAY OF THE WEEK FOR SATURDAY THE
00:18:38.18\00:18:42.92
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK - FOR
THE OBSERVANCE OF SATURDAY THE
00:18:42.95\00:18:46.76
SEVENTH DAY, A CHANGE FOR
WHICH THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL
00:18:46.79\00:18:50.73
AUTHORITY. RIGHT IN
THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM
00:18:50.76\00:18:53.40
THEY WILL FREELY ADMIT
THIS IS NOT BIBLE-BASED.
00:18:53.43\00:18:56.63
WE DID IT BY A SENSE
OF OUR OWN AUTHORITY.
00:18:56.67\00:19:00.20
AND THEY CLAIM THAT WHAT THE
CHURCH SAYS AND WHAT THE POPE
00:19:00.24\00:19:03.57
SAYS IS MORE VALUABLE THAN WHAT
JESUS SAID - WHAT GOD SPOKE FROM
00:19:03.61\00:19:07.14
THE MOUNTAIN; WHAT THE
LORD WROTE WITH HIS FINGER -
00:19:07.18\00:19:09.34
I RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE. THIS IS AN ISSUE.
00:19:09.38\00:19:13.28
BOTTOM LINE IN THE LAST
DAYS IS WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:19:13.31\00:19:15.65
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IS THE
MARK OF THE BEAST OR THE
00:19:15.68\00:19:19.82
SEAL OF GOD A VISIBLE
MARK? NOW I THINK WE'VE
00:19:19.85\00:19:22.96
PROBABLY MADE THIS CLEAR.
WHAT DOES 'IN THE HAND' MEAN?
00:19:22.99\00:19:26.49
IN THE ACTIONS. IN
THE HEAD, IN THE THOUGHTS.
00:19:26.53\00:19:28.73
HERE ARE SOME VERSES: HEBREWS
10:16, "SAITH THE LORD, 'I WILL
00:19:28.76\00:19:32.73
PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS,
AND IN THEIR MINDS WILL I WRITE
00:19:32.77\00:19:35.47
THEM.'" IT GOES ON TO SAY,
IN ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSE 10,
00:19:35.50\00:19:40.91
"WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS
TO DO, DO IT WITH YOUR MIGHT."
00:19:40.94\00:19:44.88
THAT'S SYMBOLIC. YOUR
HAND MEANS YOUR ACTIONS, RIGHT?
00:19:44.91\00:19:47.52
AND YOU CAN READ, AGAIN, IN
ISAIAH 59:6, "THEIR WORKS ARE
00:19:47.55\00:19:50.35
WORKS OF INIQUITY, AND THE ACT
OF VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR HANDS."
00:19:50.39\00:19:54.69
YOU DON'T HAVE THE WORD
'VIOLENCE' IN YOUR HANDS, IT'S
00:19:54.72\00:19:56.42
SOMETHING THAT
REPRESENTS THE ACTIONS.
00:19:56.46\00:19:58.89
SO, WHEN SOMEONE RECEIVES
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN THE
00:19:58.93\00:20:01.76
FOREHEAD, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT IN THEIR WORSHIP.
00:20:01.80\00:20:04.80
MAYBE THEY'RE SINCERE, BUT
THEY'LL BE WORSHIPING THE LAWS
00:20:04.83\00:20:07.40
OF THE BEAST
INSTEAD OF THE LAWS OF GOD.
00:20:07.44\00:20:10.54
AND MAYBE SOME WON'T
AGREE, BUT THEY'LL DO IT.
00:20:10.57\00:20:13.71
IT'S IN THEIR ACTIONS - IT'S
NOT IN THEIR HEART, BUT THEY'RE
00:20:13.74\00:20:15.91
STILL GOING TO
FOLLOW IT OUT OF FEAR.
00:20:15.94\00:20:18.38
SO, IT SAYS THE BEAST HAS A
MARK TO REPRESENT ITS POWER AND
00:20:18.41\00:20:22.58
AUTHORITY. DOES
GOD ALSO HAVE A SIGN
00:20:22.62\00:20:24.45
OF HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY? YES.
00:20:24.49\00:20:27.12
HE DOES, PRAISE THE LORD.
LOOK IN EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12.
00:20:27.16\00:20:30.86
"I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE
A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THAT
00:20:30.89\00:20:34.60
THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE
LORD THAT DOES SANCTIFY THEM."
00:20:34.63\00:20:38.93
EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 20 - SIMILAR
VERSE - HE SAYS, "HALLOW MY
00:20:38.97\00:20:43.41
SABBATHS: AND THEY WILL BE A
SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, THAT
00:20:43.44\00:20:46.71
YOU MAY KNOW THAT I
AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:20:46.74\00:20:49.44
IT'S A SIGN.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT
00:20:49.48\00:20:51.51
ABOUT THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT. GOD SAYS SO, AMEN?
00:20:51.55\00:20:54.15
IT'S A SYMBOL
OF WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:20:54.18\00:20:56.32
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S
EASIER TO GIVE A PERSON YOUR
00:20:56.35\00:20:58.35
MONEY THAN TO
GIVE THEM YOUR TIME.
00:20:58.39\00:21:01.76
GOD SAYS, 'DO YOU
REALLY WORSHIP ME?
00:21:01.79\00:21:03.86
IT'S NOT A DONATION, I WANT YOUR
LIFE, BECAUSE TIME IS THE STUFF
00:21:03.89\00:21:07.83
LIFE IS MADE OF.
I WANT YOUR LOVE.
00:21:07.86\00:21:09.63
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOVE
RELATIONSHIP UNLESS YOU SPEND
00:21:09.66\00:21:11.20
TIME WITH SOMEBODY. AMEN?
00:21:11.23\00:21:13.74
"VERILY MY SABBATHS YE SHALL
KEEP: FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN
00:21:13.77\00:21:16.60
ME AND YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR
GENERATIONS: THAT YE MIGHT KNOW
00:21:16.64\00:21:20.18
THAT I AM THE LORD
THAT DOTH SANCTIFY YOU."
00:21:20.21\00:21:22.61
NOW, DO WE STILL NEED THE
SABBATH TO PROVE THAT HE CAN
00:21:22.64\00:21:25.18
CREATE AND RECREATE? DO
WE STILL NEED SANCTIFICATION?
00:21:25.21\00:21:29.65
AMEN. WHENEVER WE'RE PRAYING FOR
00:21:29.68\00:21:31.25
HOLINESS AND FORGIVENESS, THE
SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT GOD, IF
00:21:31.29\00:21:34.12
HE CAN SANCTIFY A
DAY, HE CAN SANCTIFY US.
00:21:34.16\00:21:36.86
WHAT DID THE ANTICHRIST
POWER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE?
00:21:36.89\00:21:40.63
DANIEL 7:25, "HE WILL
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS."
00:21:40.66\00:21:45.27
THERE'S ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT YOU CAN POINT TO THAT IS
00:21:45.30\00:21:47.40
BOTH A TIME AND A LAW.
NOW HERE - WE QUOTED THIS
00:21:47.44\00:21:52.01
TO YOU THE OTHER DAY.
"THE POPE HAS POWER TO CHANGE
00:21:52.04\00:21:54.44
TIMES TO ABROGATE LAWS, AND
TO DISPENSE WITH ALL THINGS,
00:21:54.48\00:21:57.95
EVEN THE PRECEPTS OF CHRIST."
00:21:57.98\00:22:00.48
AND THEY ADMIT, 'YEAH, WE
CHANGED THE SABBATH.' AND THEY
00:22:00.52\00:22:02.48
SAY, "THIS IS A MARK OF
HER ECCLESIASTICAL POWER AND
00:22:02.52\00:22:05.75
AUTHORITY IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS."
NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
00:22:05.79\00:22:08.59
NOTICED, ON THE RIGHT THERE'S
A COPY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:22:08.62\00:22:10.49
I TOOK IN FRONT
OF A CATHOLIC CHURCH.
00:22:10.53\00:22:12.26
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE SECOND
COMMANDMENT IS JUST NOT THERE -
00:22:12.29\00:22:15.00
AND THEY DIVIDE THE
TENTH COMMANDMENT IN TWO.
00:22:15.03\00:22:17.13
THEY TOOK OUT THE
COMMANDMENT ABOUT IDOLATRY.
00:22:17.17\00:22:19.83
THEY MAKE THE
SABBATH A THIRD COMMANDMENT.
00:22:19.87\00:22:22.17
IT SAYS, "THE HOLY SABBATH
DAY WAS CHANGED FROM SATURDAY TO
00:22:22.20\00:22:26.21
SUNDAY...NOT FROM ANY DIRECTIONS
NOTED IN THE SCRIPTURES.
00:22:26.24\00:22:29.81
BUT FROM THE CHURCH'S
SENSE OF ITS OWN POWER..."
00:22:29.84\00:22:33.18
- NOTICE THIS QUOTE - "PEOPLE
WHO THINK THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD
00:22:33.21\00:22:36.65
BE THE SOLE AUTHORITY, SHOULD
LOGICALLY BECOME SEVENTH-DAY
00:22:36.69\00:22:40.56
ADVENTISTS AND
KEEP SATURDAY HOLY."
00:22:40.59\00:22:42.32
THAT'S FROM ST. CATHERINE'S
CATHOLIC CHURCH, MAY 21, 1995 -
00:22:42.36\00:22:46.76
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THAT ENDORSEMENT.
00:22:46.80\00:22:48.66
(LAUGHTER) WE DIDN'T
WRITE THAT, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT.
00:22:48.70\00:22:53.64
THEY SAY, 'LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO GO BY THE BIBLE, YOU SHOULD
00:22:53.67\00:22:55.80
LOGICALLY BE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS.' THEY'RE KIND OF
00:22:55.84\00:22:57.71
MAKING FUN OF MOST CHRISTIANS
THAT DON'T REALLY GO BY THE TEN
00:22:57.74\00:23:01.34
COMMANDMENTS. THEY'RE
FOLLOWING A TRADITION.
00:23:01.38\00:23:04.48
PETER AND THE APOSTLES, THEY
SAID, "WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD" -
00:23:04.51\00:23:08.62
ACTS 5:29 - "RATHER
THAN MEN." THIS IS ALL ABOUT
00:23:08.65\00:23:11.22
'WHO IS YOUR GOD?'
YOU ARE THE SERVANTS
00:23:11.25\00:23:12.92
OF THE ONE YOU OBEY.
SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT WORSHIP.
00:23:12.95\00:23:15.12
THE BIG ISSUE IN THE
LAST DAYS IS WORSHIP.
00:23:15.16\00:23:17.29
THEY'RE BEING TOLD TO WORSHIP
THE BEAST OR WORSHIP JEHOVAH.
00:23:17.33\00:23:19.83
THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT
HOW HE HAS SPECIFIED WE SHOULD
00:23:19.86\00:23:22.50
WORSHIP. AND HE ILLUSTRATES THAT
00:23:22.53\00:23:24.90
IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. AMEN.
00:23:24.93\00:23:26.90
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT
JESUS AND TO FULLY FOLLOW HIM,
00:23:26.94\00:23:30.61
WHAT HAPPENS? CHRIST
SAID, "TAKE MY YOKE UPON
00:23:30.64\00:23:34.08
YOU, AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I
AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART, AND
00:23:34.11\00:23:38.55
YE SHALL FIND
REST UNTO YOUR SOULS."
00:23:38.58\00:23:41.42
THE LORD WANTS US
TO HAVE THAT REST.
00:23:41.45\00:23:43.39
WHO IS GOING TO
ENJOY THE REST IN HEAVEN?
00:23:43.42\00:23:46.29
YOU READ ABOUT IT IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 15 - WE LIKE TO START
00:23:46.32\00:23:49.29
AND END WITH REVELATION - IT
SAID, "I SAW SOMETHING LIKE A
00:23:49.32\00:23:52.29
SEA OF GLASS MINGLED WITH FIRE.
00:23:52.33\00:23:55.10
AND THOSE WHO HAVE THE VICTORY
OVER THE BEAST, OVER HIS IMAGE,
00:23:55.13\00:23:59.17
AND OVER HIS MARK AND OVER THE
NUMBER OF HIS NAME, STANDING ON
00:23:59.20\00:24:03.87
THE SEA OF GLASS,
HAVING HARPS OF GOD."
00:24:03.91\00:24:06.78
AND THERE THEY ARE, IN
HEAVEN, THEY ARE REDEEMED.
00:24:06.81\00:24:09.74
THEY ARE SAVED. THEY'VE GOT THAT
REST AND THEY'VE GOT THAT PEACE,
00:24:09.78\00:24:12.85
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE
TRUTH. THEY HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD
00:24:12.88\00:24:16.22
AND THEY HAVE TURNED
FROM THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:24:16.25\00:24:18.82
NOW, WHEN YOU TAKE A STAND
FOR TRUTH, FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT
00:24:18.85\00:24:21.66
EXPERIENCE SOME STRUGGLES - AND
JESUS NEVER SAID, 'FOLLOW ME AND
00:24:21.69\00:24:27.30
IT'S GOING TO BE EASY.' HE SAID,
'IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU NEED TO
00:24:27.36\00:24:30.87
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW
ME.' BUT THE PROMISE IS THAT
00:24:30.90\00:24:34.34
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE PEACE AND REST.
00:24:34.37\00:24:37.67
IF YOU SEEK TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
AND LIVE FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL
00:24:37.71\00:24:41.98
LOSE IT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO FIND
YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED TO SAY 'NO'
00:24:42.01\00:24:46.05
TO SELF AND 'YES' TO JESUS AND
THEN YOU HAVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:24:46.08\00:24:49.55
HE SAID, 'I'VE COME THAT I MIGHT
GIVE YOU LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.
00:24:49.58\00:24:52.42
AND SO, WHEN YOU LEARN THINGS
LIKE THIS ABOUT THE BEAST AND
00:24:52.45\00:24:55.66
THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THE
SABBATH TRUTH, DOES IT TROUBLE
00:24:55.69\00:24:58.63
YOU? WELL, IT MAY RIGHT NOW BUT,
00:24:58.66\00:25:00.73
ULTIMATELY, WHY DOES GOD
WANT YOU TO KNOW THESE THINGS?
00:25:00.76\00:25:03.57
IS THE SABBATH
CURSED OR BLESSED?
00:25:03.60\00:25:05.80
BLESSED. HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU.
00:25:05.83\00:25:08.60
SOME OF YOU HAVE NEVER
EXPERIENCED THAT BLESSING.
00:25:08.64\00:25:11.31
THERE ARE PEOPLE I KNOW
THAT ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
00:25:11.34\00:25:13.61
YOU'VE HEARD
THESE THINGS FOR YEARS.
00:25:13.64\00:25:15.01
YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:25:15.04\00:25:16.75
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU PLAN
ON DOING IT BUT, 'OH, PASTOR
00:25:16.78\00:25:19.11
DOUG, IF I DO IT NOW, YOU
KNOW, I'LL GET KICKED OUT OF MY
00:25:19.15\00:25:21.92
CHURCH.' OR 'IF I TAKE A STAND
FOR THIS NOW, MY FAMILY - WE'VE
00:25:21.95\00:25:24.82
BEEN IN THIS - THEY'RE GOING TO
DENOUNCE ME.' I KNOW PEOPLE THAT
00:25:24.85\00:25:28.29
WHEN THEY TOOK A STAND FOR THE
TRUTH, THEIR FAMILY SAID, 'DON'T
00:25:28.32\00:25:30.99
EVER TALK TO US AGAIN.' 'I'M
GOING TO LOSE MY JOB.' SHADRACH,
00:25:31.03\00:25:37.87
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WERE
WILLING TO LOSE THEIR JOB AND
00:25:37.90\00:25:40.37
THEIR LIVES. JESUS
SAID, 'IT'S NOT ME AND
00:25:40.40\00:25:44.97
SOMETHING ELSE,' HE SAID,
'IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME, YOU
00:25:45.01\00:25:47.71
MUST LOVE ME MORE - FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBAND, WIFE, HOUSES,
00:25:47.74\00:25:51.68
LANDS, EVERYTHING.' HE
NEEDS FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:25:51.71\00:25:55.12
AMEN. AND WHEN
YOU PUT HIM FIRST,
00:25:55.15\00:25:56.99
HE GIVES YOU EVERYTHING ELSE.
JESUS GOES ON AND HE SAYS, 'NO
00:25:57.02\00:26:00.36
MAN THAT HAS FORSAKEN FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBANDS, WIVES, HOUSES,
00:26:00.39\00:26:03.86
LANDS, FOR MY SAKE AND
THE GOSPEL, HE'LL RECEIVE A
00:26:03.89\00:26:06.80
HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
IN THIS LIFE.' AMEN.
00:26:06.83\00:26:10.87
YOU MAY HAVE PERSECUTION, BUT
HE GIVES YOU A HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
00:26:10.90\00:26:14.14
- AND ETERNAL LIFE
IN THE WORLD TO COME.
00:26:14.17\00:26:16.14
THERE'S GOING TO BE TRIALS.
THERE'LL BE CROSSES - LIFE IS
00:26:16.17\00:26:19.04
TOUGH, BUT IT'S A
LOT TOUGHER TO BE LOST.
00:26:19.07\00:26:21.84
IT'S A LOT TOUGHER TO NOT HAVE
GOD WALKING WITH YOU BECAUSE
00:26:21.88\00:26:26.28
YOU'RE REJECTING HIM - TO
HAVE NO PEACE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
00:26:26.31\00:26:30.12
AND SO, WE SHARE ALL THESE
THINGS - IT'S ALL ABOUT - IT'S
00:26:30.15\00:26:33.22
NOT JUST ABOUT ONE COMMANDMENT,
IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE HEART -
00:26:33.25\00:26:36.29
SURRENDERING YOUR HEARTS TO GOD.
HAVE YOU SAID, 'LORD, I WANT
00:26:36.32\00:26:41.50
YOU TO BE FIRST IN MY LIFE.
I'M WILLING TO SAY 'YES' TO YOU
00:26:41.53\00:26:45.27
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.' JESUS
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING 50/50 -
00:26:45.30\00:26:48.50
YOU AND THE WORLD - 50 PERCENT
WORLD/50 PERCENT ME' - HE SAID,
00:26:48.54\00:26:52.44
'YOU'RE EITHER
WITH ME OR AGAINST ME.'
00:26:52.47\00:26:54.48
DOUG: BEASTS, PLAGUES,
AND THE CRYPTIC NUMBER 666.
00:26:59.11\00:27:03.85
FOR MANY, THE BOOK OF
REVELATION IS BOTH FRIGHTENING
00:27:03.89\00:27:06.82
AND CONFUSING.
00:27:06.86\00:27:08.16
DOES THIS LAST BOOK OF THE
BIBLE REALLY PROVIDE INSIGHT FOR
00:27:08.19\00:27:11.63
THE FINAL DAYS?
00:27:11.66\00:27:12.96
OR IS IT NOTHING MORE THAN AN
OMINOUS BOOK OF DOOM AND GLOOM?
00:27:12.99\00:27:16.33
ON THE CONTRARY, REVELATION
IS, AS THE TITLE SUGGESTS,
00:27:16.36\00:27:20.47
A REVEALING, A POWERFUL,
PROPHETIC BOOK FILLED WITH HOPE,
00:27:20.50\00:27:24.64
ENCOURAGEMENT, AND YES,
URGENT MESSAGES OR FINAL WARNING
00:27:24.67\00:27:28.84
FOR OUR WORLD.
