OF THE CHURCH?
WHAT DO THEY TEACH?

WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK
00:00:32.93\00:00:37.43
AND ENJOY THIS EDITION
OF "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS."
00:00:37.47\00:00:44.57
TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM
00:00:44.61\00:00:46.31
"THE MILLENNIUM OF
PROPHECY" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:46.34\00:00:52.18
>> NOW, I KNOW WHAT SOME OF YOU
ARE ALREADY THINKING; I'VE LET
00:00:52.21\00:00:54.52
THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG--I'M
A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST.
00:00:54.55\00:00:57.75
AND YOU'RE THINKING, "OH, DOUG,
YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY GONNA TELL US
00:00:57.79\00:01:01.22
THAT YOU THINK YOUR CHURCH IS
THE TRUE CHURCH. OF COURSE I DO.
00:01:01.26\00:01:05.99
OTHERWISE YOU'D BE WONDERING,
"WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE OTHER
00:01:06.03\00:01:08.46
CHURCH, IF YOU DON'T
THINK THIS IS IT," RIGHT?
00:01:08.50\00:01:11.00
BUT I WANT YOU TO MAKE YOUR
DECISION THE SAME WAY I DID.
00:01:11.03\00:01:13.77
I VISITED AND STUDIED
WITH MANY DIFFERENT CHRISTIANS,
00:01:13.80\00:01:16.27
AND I STILL PREACH AND STUDY
IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
00:01:16.30\00:01:18.97
BUT IF I FIND A CHURCH
SOMEWHERE THAT'S CLOSER TO THE
00:01:19.01\00:01:22.04
BIBLE, THAT'S WHERE I'M
GOING. I HAVE NO DENOMINATIONAL
00:01:22.08\00:01:25.91
ALLEGIANCE TO A CREED. MY
ALLEGIANCE IS TO JESUS CHRIST
00:01:25.95\00:01:30.55
AND HIS WORD. IT JUST SO
HAPPENS, RIGHT NOW, I'VE NOT
00:01:30.59\00:01:33.39
FOUND A MOVEMENT THAT IS
CLOSER TO THE BIBLE IN PROPHETIC
00:01:33.42\00:01:36.93
FULFILLMENT THAN THE
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST MOVEMENT.
00:01:36.96\00:01:39.76
I DON'T EVEN LIKE TO CALL US
A CHURCH--WE'RE A MOVEMENT THAT
00:01:39.79\00:01:42.00
IS SWEEPING THE WORLD, FASTEST
GROWING PROTESTANT CHURCH
00:01:42.03\00:01:44.23
IN THE WORLD TODAY. AND
SO THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.
00:01:44.27\00:01:47.07
I THINK IT'S A FULFILLMENT
OF PROPHECY--WE'RE GETTING BACK
00:01:47.10\00:01:49.27
TO THE BIBLE. HOW
DID JESUS SAY THAT WE
00:01:49.30\00:01:51.87
DEMONSTRATE OUR LOVE FOR
HIM? THE ANSWER--JOHN 14:15.
00:01:51.91\00:01:56.58
HE SAID, "IF YOU LOVE
ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:01:56.61\00:02:00.85
AND 1 JOHN 5:3, "FOR THIS
IS THE LOVE OF GOD THAT WE KEEP
00:02:00.88\00:02:05.92
HIS COMMANDMENTS." AND HIS
COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS.
00:02:05.95\00:02:09.72
NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF
CHURCHES THAT KEEP SOME OF
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.23
THE COMMANDMENTS. MOST
CHURCHES KEEP NINE, SOME
00:02:12.26\00:02:16.43
GET UP TO EIGHT--THEY'VE
GOT A PROBLEM WITH IDOLATRY.
00:02:16.46\00:02:20.34
BUT IS GOD LOOKING FOR A
CHURCH TO KEEP SOME OF THEM SOME
00:02:20.37\00:02:23.47
OF THE TIME? YOU
KNOW, I'VE BEEN IN JAIL--
00:02:23.51\00:02:26.84
NOT JUST TO VISIT.
YOU HEARD MY TESTIMONY.
00:02:26.88\00:02:30.21
EVERYBODY I EVER MET IN JAIL
KEEPS GOD'S COMMANDMENTS SOME
00:02:30.25\00:02:34.38
OF THE TIME, SOME OF THEM.
IS THIS WHAT THE PROPHECY IS
00:02:34.42\00:02:36.69
TALKING ABOUT, THAT
KIND OF INCONSISTENCY?
00:02:36.72\00:02:39.02
OR IS THE LORD TALKING
ABOUT A CONSISTENCY LIKE
00:02:39.05\00:02:41.62
DEUTERONOMY 5:29, "O
THAT THERE WAS SUCH A HEART
00:02:41.66\00:02:44.69
IN THEM THAT THEY WOULD
FEAR ME AND KEEP ALL OF MY
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.86
COMMANDMENTS ALWAYS THAT
IT MIGHT BE WELL WITH THEM
00:02:47.93\00:02:50.90
AND THEIR CHILDREN FOREVER."
THAT'S THE REASON--THAT IT
00:02:50.93\00:02:53.84
MIGHT BE WELL WITH YOU
AND YOUR CHILDREN FOREVER.
00:02:53.87\00:02:56.40
ALL OF THEM ALWAYS A
CONSISTENCY IN WANTING TO OBEY.
00:02:56.44\00:03:00.88
THAT DOESN'T MEAN CHRISTIANS
IN THE TRUE CHURCH DON'T SIN,
00:03:00.91\00:03:03.31
BUT THEY WILL AT LEAST
ADMIT THEIR GOAL IS TO KEEP ALL
00:03:03.35\00:03:07.12
OF GOD'S WORD AND TO OBEY
HIM. AMEN? WHAT THREE ANGELIC
00:03:07.15\00:03:11.32
MESSAGES WILL GOD'S END-TIME
CHURCH BE PREACHING? NOW, WHEN
00:03:11.35\00:03:14.66
YOU READ IN REVELATION 14, THESE
THREE ANGELS FLY IN THE MIDST
00:03:14.69\00:03:18.86
OF HEAVEN WITH A LOUD VOICE,
PROCLAIMING THESE PROMINENT
00:03:18.89\00:03:21.73
MESSAGES JUST
BEFORE JESUS COMES.
00:03:21.76\00:03:25.30
AND IN REVELATION 14, AFTER
THESE THREE MESSAGES ARE GIVEN,
00:03:25.33\00:03:28.77
IT SAYS HERE ON ONE
HAND WE HAVE THOSE WHO KEEP
00:03:28.80\00:03:31.37
THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD AND THE FAITH OF JESUS.
00:03:31.41\00:03:34.04
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT HERE, THOSE
WHO HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:03:34.08\00:03:36.48
YOU KNOW WHY THIS
MESSAGE IS IMPORTANT?
00:03:36.51\00:03:38.38
EVERYBODY HERE, EVERYBODY
WATCHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE,
00:03:38.41\00:03:40.98
YOU ARE GOING TO BE MARRIED
TO ONE OF THOSE TWO WOMEN.
00:03:41.02\00:03:44.15
YOU ARE GOING TO
EITHER BE PART OF GOD'S BRIDE,
00:03:44.19\00:03:47.39
THE TRUE CHURCH, THE LIGHT
OF THE WORLD, OR YOU'RE GONNA BE
00:03:47.42\00:03:49.59
PART OF BABYLON
AND HER DAUGHTERS.
00:03:49.62\00:03:51.59
WE NEED TO KNOW HOW
TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
00:03:51.63\00:03:53.50
THOSE WHO ARE IN THE WRONG ARMY
WHEN CHRIST COMES WILL BE PUT
00:03:53.53\00:03:58.07
OUT OF SERVICE--THEY'RE
GONNA BE ON THE LOSING TEAM
00:03:58.10\00:04:00.77
AND IT'LL BE THE
BIGGEST TRAGEDY OF THEIR LIVES.
00:04:00.80\00:04:03.00
SO IT DOES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU BELONG TO.
00:04:03.04\00:04:05.67
YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE
FOR WHAT YOU BELONG TO.
00:04:05.71\00:04:09.38
REVELATION 14:7, THE
FIRST MESSAGE IS A: "FEAR GOD
00:04:09.41\00:04:13.42
AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM, FOR THE
HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT IS COME."
00:04:13.45\00:04:18.85
NOW, IT SAYS THAT "THE
HOUR OF THE JUDGMENT IS COME."
00:04:18.89\00:04:20.92
WE'VE LEARNED, WE ARE LIVING
IN THE FINAL, THE FINAL DAYS
00:04:20.96\00:04:24.13
OF THE WORLD'S HISTORY,
THE FIRST PHASE OF THE JUDGMENT
00:04:24.16\00:04:27.40
THAT TAKES PLACE
BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS.
00:04:27.46\00:04:29.60
THE SECOND PART OF THAT IS
TALKING ABOUT, "AND WORSHIP HIM
00:04:29.63\00:04:34.27
THAT MADE HEAVEN AND
EARTH, AND SEA AND THE FOUNTAINS
00:04:34.30\00:04:38.21
OF WATERS." WE'VE
LEARNED AS WE'VE STUDIED
00:04:38.24\00:04:39.87
REVELATION, THE ISSUE
REVOLVES AROUND WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:04:39.91\00:04:44.68
REMEMBER, CAIN AND ABEL
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.
00:04:44.71\00:04:47.58
ONE DID IT
ACCORDING TO GOD'S DICTATES,
00:04:47.62\00:04:49.48
ACCORDING TO GOD'S
COMMAND. ONE DID HIS OWN THING--
00:04:49.52\00:04:51.95
ONE KILLED THE OTHER.
THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
00:04:51.99\00:04:54.96
IN THE LAST DAYS--WE'RE GONNA
EITHER GO BY THE WORD OF GOD
00:04:54.99\00:04:57.53
AND DO IT BIBLICALLY, OR WE'LL
DO WHAT'S POLITICALLY CORRECT
00:04:57.56\00:05:00.06
BUT UNBIBLICAL, AND THE WICKED
WILL PERSECUTE THE RIGHTEOUS.
00:05:00.10\00:05:04.00
IT SAYS, "WORSHIP HIM THAT
MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH
00:05:04.03\00:05:07.37
AND THE SEA."
IT'S CALLING US BACK
00:05:07.40\00:05:09.14
TO THE GOD WHO
CREATED, AND EVERY SABBATH
00:05:09.17\00:05:11.17
DAY IS A MEMORIAL OF HIS
CREATIVE REDEEMING POWER.
00:05:11.21\00:05:15.08
THAT'S WHY THAT
COMMANDMENT DOES MATTER.
00:05:15.11\00:05:17.71
REVELATION 14:8, "AND
THERE FOLLOWED ANOTHER ANGEL,
00:05:17.75\00:05:20.75
SAYING, BABYLON IS FALLEN,
IS FALLEN THAT GREAT CITY,
00:05:20.78\00:05:26.32
BECAUSE SHE MADE ALL NATIONS
DRINK THE WINE OF THE WRATH
00:05:26.35\00:05:29.19
OF HER FORNICATION." NOW,
WHAT IS THAT WINE OF BABYLON?
00:05:29.22\00:05:33.33
YOU KNOW, CHRIST GAVE A
CUP OF WINE, GRAPE JUICE,
00:05:33.36\00:05:35.86
UNFERMENTED, TO THE DISCIPLES
TO SEAL THE NEW COVENANT.
00:05:35.90\00:05:39.30
IT DOESN'T SAY THEY GOT DRUNK.
THE WINE THAT THIS WOMAN DRINKS
00:05:39.33\00:05:43.07
IS FERMENTED, IT IS
PUTREFIED; IT IS INTOXICATING.
00:05:43.10\00:05:48.24
IT REPRESENTS THE APPEALING
FALSE DOCTRINES OF DEVILS
00:05:48.28\00:05:51.51
THAT HAVE INTOXICATED
MUCH OF THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.
00:05:51.55\00:05:55.78
AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE GETTING
NEAR THE END OF THE SEMINAR,
00:05:55.82\00:05:57.69
SO THERE'S NO SENSE HOLDING
BACK AT THIS POINT, FRIENDS,
00:05:57.72\00:05:59.75
I NEED TO BE
VERY PLAIN WITH YOU.
00:05:59.79\00:06:01.39
IF YOU'RE PART OF A CHURCH
THAT TELLS YOU, YOU DON'T NEED
00:06:01.42\00:06:04.09
TO WORRY ABOUT
KEEPING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:06:04.13\00:06:06.09
THAT GOD DOESN'T
CARE, YOU'RE IN BABYLON--
00:06:06.13\00:06:07.96
THAT'S A DOCTRINE OF DEVILS.
IF YOU'RE PART OF A CHURCH THAT
00:06:08.00\00:06:10.87
TELLS YOU THAT WHEN YOU DIE,
YOU GO RIGHT TO HEAVEN OR HELL
00:06:10.90\00:06:13.37
BEFORE THE JUDGMENT DAY,
BEFORE THE RESURRECTION--
00:06:13.40\00:06:15.67
THAT'S PAGANISM,
THAT'S THE WINE OF BABYLON.
00:06:15.70\00:06:18.77
IF YOU'RE PART OF A CHURCH THAT
SAYS YOU CAN BAPTIZE BY POURING
00:06:18.81\00:06:22.01
OR SPRINKLING, RATHER
THAN AS CHRIST WAS BAPTIZED,
00:06:22.04\00:06:24.61
IT'S A DOCTRINE OF
DEVILS, IT'S SOME OF THE WINE.
00:06:24.65\00:06:26.85
THESE ARE SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
00:06:26.88\00:06:29.28
INTOXICATED BY THE
FALSE TEACHINGS. THE ANSWER?
00:06:29.32\00:06:33.42
OH, NOW, SOME PEOPLE THINK THIS
PROPHECY ABOUT BABYLON HERE IS
00:06:33.46\00:06:37.16
SPEAKING THAT LITERAL
BABYLON IS GOING TO BE REBUILT.
00:06:37.19\00:06:39.93
BUT WE'VE LEARNED ALREADY,
OPENING NIGHT, ISAIAH 13
00:06:39.96\00:06:43.13
TELLS US, BABYLON,
THE GLORY OF THE KINGDOMS,
00:06:43.16\00:06:45.97
THE BEAUTY OF THE
CHALDEAN EXCELLENCY,
00:06:46.00\00:06:47.80
WILL BE AS WHEN GOD
OVERTHREW SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
00:06:47.84\00:06:50.87
IT WILL NEVER BE INHABITED,
NEITHER SHALL IT BE DWELT IN
00:06:50.91\00:06:54.24
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
00:06:54.28\00:06:56.14
NEITHER SHALL THE
ARABIAN PITCH HIS TENT THERE.
00:06:56.18\00:06:58.81
NEITHER SHALL THE SHEPHERDS
MAKE THEIR FOLD THERE, BUT WILD
00:06:58.85\00:07:01.58
BEASTS OF THE DESERT SHALL LIE
THERE AND THEIR HOUSES WILL BE
00:07:01.62\00:07:04.45
FULL OF DOLEFUL CREATURES,
AND OWLS SHALL DWELL THERE
00:07:04.49\00:07:07.29
AND SATYRS SHALL DANCE THERE.
IT WILL NEVER BE REBUILT."
00:07:07.32\00:07:10.26
SO IN REVELATION WHEN IT TALKS
ABOUT BABYLON BEING FALLEN,
00:07:10.29\00:07:13.50
YOU KNOW, THERE'S
CHURCHES THAT ARE WAITING
00:07:13.53\00:07:14.96
FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN
TO REBUILD BABYLON.
00:07:15.00\00:07:16.87
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S TALKING
ABOUT--BABYLON REPRESENTS
00:07:16.90\00:07:19.33
FALLEN CHRISTENDOM THAT
PERSECUTED GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:07:19.37\00:07:22.64
THIRD ANGEL SAYS, "FOLLOW THEM
SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, IF
00:07:22.67\00:07:26.27
ANY MAN WORSHIP THE BEAST AND
HIS IMAGE, THE SAME SHALL DRINK
00:07:26.31\00:07:31.08
THE WINE OR RECEIVE HIS MARK
IN HIS FOREHEAD OR IN HIS HAND.
00:07:31.11\00:07:36.48
THE SAME WILL DRINK THE WINE OF
THE WRATH OF GOD THAT IS POURED
00:07:36.52\00:07:39.35
OUT WITHOUT MIXTURE INTO
THE CUP OF HIS INDIGNATION."
00:07:39.39\00:07:42.16
THE MOST FEARFUL CURSE IN
THE BIBLE IS PRONOUNCED ON THOSE
00:07:42.19\00:07:45.59
WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND
RECEIVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:07:45.63\00:07:48.26
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO KNOW THAT
WE ARE IN THE RIGHT FELLOWSHIP.
00:07:48.30\00:07:52.33
TO WHOM WILL GOD'S
CHURCH PREACH THESE MESSAGES?
00:07:52.37\00:07:55.27
SOMETHING ELSE WE'LL LEARN
ABOUT GOD'S CHURCH, "HAVING
00:07:55.30\00:07:57.64
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL TO PREACH
TO THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH,
00:07:57.67\00:08:01.78
AND TO EVERY NATION AND
KINDRED AND TONGUE AND PEOPLE."
00:08:01.81\00:08:07.42
NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF
THE WORLD HAVE THE DOORS FOR
00:08:07.45\00:08:10.52
THE GOSPEL BEEN OPENED
WIDER THAN THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.
00:08:10.55\00:08:14.42
YOU KNOW, WHEN WE WENT
TO INDIA, PASTORS THERE WERE
00:08:14.46\00:08:17.06
RECOMMENDING WE RENT A
HALL THAT MIGHT SEAT 300
00:08:17.09\00:08:19.83
OR 500 PEOPLE, AND
"AMAZING FACTS" WENT IN
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.26
AND WE SAID, "LET'S
GET SOMETHING THAT SEATS
00:08:22.30\00:08:24.40
AT LEAST 1,000." WE
GOT A HALL THAT SEATS 1600.
00:08:24.43\00:08:28.40
AND YOU COULD SEE THAT IT
WAS PACKED AND THEY WERE SITTING
00:08:28.44\00:08:30.24
IN THE AISLES. INDIA
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
00:08:30.27\00:08:32.27
DIFFICULT PLACES IN THE
WORLD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.
00:08:32.31\00:08:34.51
ALL OF THE SUDDEN
THEIR HEARTS ARE OPEN.
00:08:34.54\00:08:36.24
THEY'RE HUNGERING,
THEY'RE TIRED OF THE EMPTINESS
00:08:36.28\00:08:39.18
OF SOME OF THEIR
REINCARNATION RELIGIONS.
00:08:39.21\00:08:44.15
THEY WANT TO HAVE HOPE,
WORSHIPPING MONKEYS AND RATS,
00:08:44.19\00:08:46.86
AND ANIMALS AND COWS,
AND SOME OF THIS STUFF.
00:08:46.89\00:08:49.56
THEY WANT TO BE
DELIVERED FROM THAT.
00:08:49.59\00:08:52.53
THIS OPENNESS IS
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:08:52.56\00:08:55.60
AND NOW, WITH THE
SATELLITES AND THE TELEVISION,
00:08:55.63\00:08:58.73
AND THE RADIO AND THE
PRINTED PAGE AND CASSETTE TAPES,
00:08:58.77\00:09:01.47
THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
IS GOING TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
00:09:01.50\00:09:03.84
GOD'S CHURCH IS GOING
TO BE A UNIVERSAL MOVEMENT.
00:09:03.87\00:09:07.21
IT'S NOT GONNA BE JUST A LOCAL
CONGREGATION--IT'S GOING TO BE
00:09:07.24\00:09:09.48
AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS GOING
TO THE WORLD WITH STRUCTURE.
00:09:09.51\00:09:13.62
TO WHOM--I'M SORRY--
WHAT SPECIFICATIONS HAS GOD
00:09:13.65\00:09:17.49
GIVEN IN HIS WORD TO
HELP US POSITIVELY IDENTIFY
00:09:17.52\00:09:20.46
HIS END-TIME CHURCH?
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA
00:09:20.49\00:09:22.46
NARROW IT DOWN. WE
USED SOME EVIDENCE WHEN WE
00:09:22.49\00:09:24.79
TRIED TO IDENTIFY THE
BEAST OF REVELATION 13.
00:09:24.83\00:09:28.43
NOW, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT A
LITTLE MORE ABOUT HOW DO YOU
00:09:28.46\00:09:31.03
IDENTIFY GOD'S CHURCH?
00:09:31.07\00:09:32.90
FIRST OF ALL, ANSWER A: IT
APPEARS AND DOES ITS VISIBLE
00:09:32.93\00:09:36.94
WORK AFTER IT
EMERGES FROM THE WILDERNESS.
00:09:36.97\00:09:39.47
THIS IS SPEAKING OF THE REMNANT
CHURCH, THE LAST DAY CHURCH.
00:09:39.51\00:09:42.48
NOW, IN 1798 IS WHEN THE
BEAST RECEIVED A DEADLY WOUND.
00:09:42.51\00:09:47.85
AMERICA'S CONSTITUTION WAS
SIGNED IN 1776, BUT YOU MAY NOT
00:09:47.88\00:09:52.02
KNOW THAT WE WERE NOT
RECOGNIZED AS AN INDEPENDENT
00:09:52.05\00:09:54.92
NATION UNTIL 1798, BECAUSE
WE HADN'T REALLY SHAKEN OFF
00:09:54.96\00:09:58.59
THE BRITISH;
BATTLES WERE STILL RAGING.
00:09:58.63\00:10:00.93
BUT THEY BECAME INDEPENDENT,
RECOGNIZED AS A SOVEREIGN
00:10:00.96\00:10:04.53
NATION IN 1798. SO
THE CHURCH IS GOING
00:10:04.57\00:10:07.74
TO SPRING OUT OF NORTH
AMERICA, THIS NEW LIFE.
00:10:07.77\00:10:11.57
YOU NOTICE IT SAYS
THIS SECOND BEAST COMES UP
00:10:11.61\00:10:13.44
OUT OF THE EARTH.
IT'S NOT A DENSELY
00:10:13.48\00:10:15.18
POPULATED AREA.
OUR PILGRIM FATHERS
00:10:15.21\00:10:18.38
PRINCIPALLY CAME
FLEEING RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.
00:10:18.41\00:10:22.15
THEY WERE NOT TRAPPERS
AND PIONEERS, AS WE LIKE TO
00:10:22.18\00:10:24.45
THINK--SOME OF THEM CAME LATER.
THE FIRST ONES WHO LANDED ON
00:10:24.49\00:10:27.29
THE SHORE WERE DEVOUT RELIGIOUS
PEOPLE WHO WERE LOOKING
00:10:27.32\00:10:30.69
FOR A PLACE TO
PRACTICE THE SCRIPTURES.
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.73
SECOND EVIDENCE, ANSWER B:
THE CHURCH WILL TEACH THE SAME
00:10:33.76\00:10:38.13
TRUTHS THE APOSTLES
TAUGHT, AND ALL OF ITS TEACHINGS
00:10:38.17\00:10:41.47
WILL AGREE WITH THE BIBLE.
00:10:41.50\00:10:43.17
WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED TO HEAVEN,
HE HAD TRAINED HIS CHURCH
00:10:43.20\00:10:46.51
FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, HE HAD
POURED OUT HIS HOLY SPIRIT, HE
00:10:46.54\00:10:48.94
HAD A UNITED BODY OF BELIEVERS
THAT WERE BIBLICAL AND CLEAR.
00:10:48.98\00:10:53.11
WHEN HE COMES BACK AGAIN,
HE WILL HAVE A SIMILAR BODY.
00:10:53.15\00:10:56.02
DO YOU THINK THE LORD IS
COMING BACK? AND HE SAYS,
00:10:56.05\00:10:58.02
"WELL, YEAH, I REALIZE
THAT YOU'RE ALL SCATTERED.
00:10:58.05\00:11:00.16
I SORT OF FAILED, DIDN'T
I? I WANTED YOU TO BE ONE."
00:11:00.19\00:11:02.92
CHRIST'S PRAYER,
REVELATION--I'M SORRY--JOHN 17
00:11:02.96\00:11:05.36
WAS THAT THE CHURCH WOULD BE
ONE. HE SAID, "ALL MEN WILL KNOW
00:11:05.39\00:11:08.23
YOU'RE MY DISCIPLES BY
YOUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER."
00:11:08.26\00:11:10.67
AND THE UNITY, IS THE UNITY
TO BE BASED ON JUST A MUSHY
00:11:10.70\00:11:13.30
FEELING, OR UNITY IN THE
WORD, IN THE TRUTH, IN CHRIST?
00:11:13.34\00:11:17.17
WE'RE TO BE UNITED IN
OUR FAITH, NOT JUST UNITED
00:11:17.21\00:11:19.77
IN HUGGING EACH
OTHER. SOME PEOPLE THINK YOU,
00:11:19.81\00:11:21.48
"LET'S PUT ASIDE DOCTRINE
AND JUST LOVE EACH OTHER."
00:11:21.51\00:11:24.21
YOU'RE NOT TO SACRIFICE
PRINCIPLES OF TRUTH, BECAUSE
00:11:24.25\00:11:26.48
JESUS IS THE TRUTH.
AND WHEN YOU SACRIFICE
00:11:26.51\00:11:29.25
THE TRUTH, YOU INJURE
HIM. THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE--
00:11:29.28\00:11:32.45
IT LIBERATES US.
ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC--
00:11:32.49\00:11:35.56
IT WILL KEEP THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, ALL TEN,
00:11:35.59\00:11:38.83
INCLUDING THE BIBLE SABBATH,
ON THE SEVENTH DAY, AMEN?
00:11:38.86\00:11:42.00
SOME PEOPLE THINK, "WELL,
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?"
00:11:42.03\00:11:44.63
FRIENDS, GOD HAS SHOWN US
THAT HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS.
00:11:44.67\00:11:47.94
IF YOU START SAYING
THAT YOU CAN CHANGE ONE OF
00:11:47.97\00:11:49.97
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD,
THEN NOTHING IN THE BIBLE
00:11:50.01\00:11:52.21
WILL REMAIN. EVERYTHING
BECOMES FLUID AT THAT POINT.
00:11:52.24\00:11:56.58
ANSWER D: IT WILL HAVE AND
BELIEVE THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
00:11:56.61\00:12:00.98
IT SAID THAT THE TESTIMONY
OF JESUS, REVELATION 19:10,
00:12:01.02\00:12:04.05
IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
THEY'LL NOT ONLY PREACH
00:12:04.09\00:12:06.92
AND BELIEVE THE LAW
AND THE PROPHETS, THEY'LL
00:12:06.96\00:12:08.79
NOT ONLY HAVE ALL THE GIFTS
OF THE SPIRIT--THEY'LL ALSO
00:12:08.82\00:12:11.93
HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY.
NOW, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE LORD
00:12:11.96\00:12:14.20
DOES ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT,
HE RAISES UP A PROPHET.
00:12:14.20\00:12:18.20
BEFORE THE FLOOD HE GOT A
PROPHET TO WARN THE WORLD.
00:12:18.23\00:12:20.90
BEFORE THE EXODUS, BEFORE
THE EXILE THERE WAS JEREMIAH.
00:12:20.94\00:12:24.37
BEFORE JESUS CAME THE
FIRST TIME, JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:12:24.41\00:12:26.98
GOD SPEAKS THROUGH PEOPLE.
GOD'S REMNANT CHURCH WILL
00:12:27.01\00:12:29.94
ALSO HAVE THIS GIFT OF
PROPHECY IN THEIR MIDST.
00:12:29.98\00:12:33.42
ANSWER E: IT WILL PROCLAIM
GOD'S THREE END-TIME MESSAGES
00:12:33.45\00:12:38.02
WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE
WHOLE WORLD, AND AS JESUS SAID,
00:12:38.05\00:12:41.46
FRIENDS, THIS DAY IS THIS
PROPHECY FULFILLED IN YOUR EARS.
00:12:41.49\00:12:45.06
RIGHT NOW, THE MESSAGE IS
GOING TO THE WHOLE GLOBE THROUGH
00:12:45.09\00:12:48.36
SATELLITE AND
THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.
00:12:48.40\00:12:50.03
AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY
PROGRAM THAT'S DOING IT--
00:12:50.07\00:12:52.50
THERE'S A LOT OF
OTHERS THAT ARE PREACHING AND
00:12:52.53\00:12:53.97
PROCLAIMING THE MESSAGE.
YOU WANT TO HEAR A LITTLE
00:12:54.00\00:12:55.90
TIDBIT THAT I
JUST THINK IS GREAT?
00:12:55.94\00:12:57.71
YOU KNOW, "AMAZING FACTS" HAS A
WEB SITE WHERE YOU CAN GET A LOT
00:12:57.74\00:13:00.71
OF BIBLE TRUTH IN OUR
BOOKLETS ON OUR WEB SITE.
00:13:00.74\00:13:03.51
THEY'VE GOT THESE PROGRAMS
WHERE YOU CAN SURF THE WEB SITE
00:13:03.55\00:13:06.21
FOR ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION.
00:13:06.25\00:13:08.45
THIS AVID FISHERMAN WAS WANTING
TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT BETTER
00:13:08.48\00:13:12.99
BAIT, BECAUSE HE WAS
HAVING A PROBLEM WITH HIS WORMS.
00:13:13.02\00:13:16.26
WHENEVER HE GOT THEM THEY
WERE DEAD, THEY DIDN'T LAST.
00:13:16.29\00:13:18.19
SO HE TYPED IN "WORMS"
IN THE INTERNET, "WORMS."
00:13:18.23\00:13:21.46
AND HE CAME TO A BOOK
THAT "AMAZING FACTS" HAS,
00:13:21.50\00:13:24.17
WHERE BROTHER JOE CRUZ,
ONE OF OUR FOUNDERS, HE WROTE
00:13:24.20\00:13:27.47
"THE WORM THAT DOES NOT
DIE." AND HE THOUGHT, "WELL,
00:13:27.50\00:13:30.54
THAT'S THE KIND OF
WORMS I NEED FOR MY FISHING!
00:13:30.57\00:13:33.14
I NEED SOME WORMS--MY WORMS
ALWAYS, THEY DIE RIGHT AWAY."
00:13:33.17\00:13:35.54
SO HE GOT AHOLD OF THIS BOOK
AND THE BOOK IS TALKING ABOUT
00:13:35.58\00:13:37.91
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE AND
THE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED.
00:13:37.95\00:13:40.32
AND THOUGHT, "THIS ISN'T
WHAT I EXPECTED, BUT IT'S VERY
00:13:40.35\00:13:42.15
INTERESTING."
00:13:42.18\00:13:43.45
HE READ THROUGH THAT AND READ
THROUGH A BUNCH OF THE OTHER
00:13:43.49\00:13:45.02
MATERIAL, WENT THROUGH SOME
BIBLE STUDIES AND GOT BAPTIZED.
00:13:45.05\00:13:47.66
LOOKING FOR WORMS, HE
GOT HOOKED BY THE LORD!
00:13:47.69\00:13:50.23
AMEN? THAT'S A GREAT STORY.
00:13:50.26\00:13:54.76
ANSWER F: IT'S GOING TO
BE A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT.
00:13:54.83\00:13:58.63
NOW, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
THERE ARE A LOT OF COMMUNITY
00:13:58.67\00:14:02.17
FELLOWSHIPS SPRINGING UP
AND THEIR DOCTRINES ARE VERY
00:14:02.20\00:14:04.24
NEBULOUS AND VAGUE,
YOU'RE NOT SURE EXACTLY
00:14:04.27\00:14:05.97
WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE.
THEY'VE GOT SOME PRIMARY THINGS
00:14:06.01\00:14:08.11
AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE
IS SORT OF OPEN, UP FOR GRABS.
00:14:08.14\00:14:11.28
GOD'S MOVEMENT WILL BE
A WORLDWIDE ORGANIZATION.
00:14:11.31\00:14:14.15
YOU KNOW, ANYWHERE I GO IN
THE WORLD TODAY, I THINK THERE'S
00:14:14.18\00:14:16.75
ABOUT 230 COUNTRIES IN THE
WORLD TODAY, THE SEVENTH DAY
00:14:16.79\00:14:21.49
ADVENTIST CHURCH IS NOW
OPERATING IN ABOUT 220 OF THEM.
00:14:21.52\00:14:25.86
WE ARE VIRTUALLY IN
EVERY COUNTRY, EVERY CORNER
00:14:25.89\00:14:28.40
OF THE WORLD. AND
YOU KNOW, THE WONDERFUL
00:14:28.43\00:14:29.60
THING IS, NO MATTER WHERE I GO,
THEY BELIEVE THE SAME THING--
00:14:29.63\00:14:32.90
THERE'S A UNITY OF FAITH.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:14:32.93\00:14:35.97
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT CONVINCED ME ABOUT THE
00:14:36.00\00:14:37.67
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH,
I WAS UP IN THE CAVE VISITING
00:14:37.71\00:14:41.64
MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES ON
SUNDAY, WHEN I BEGAN TO STUDY
00:14:41.68\00:14:43.61
THE THINGS I'M SHARING
WITH YOU IN THIS SEMINAR.
00:14:43.65\00:14:45.85
I SAID, "LORD, I WANT
YOU TO SHOW ME THE TRUTH.
00:14:45.88\00:14:47.82
I CAN'T TRUST PASTORS.
THEY'RE GONNA ALL DO WHAT
00:14:47.85\00:14:49.95
I'M DOING--THEY'RE
GONNA SAY, "JOIN MY CHURCH."
00:14:49.98\00:14:52.05
I SAID, "LORD, I WANT YOU
TO SHOW ME THROUGH THE BIBLE."
00:14:52.09\00:14:54.59
AND THAT'S THE RIGHT ANSWER,
THAT'S THE RIGHT QUESTION.
00:14:54.62\00:14:56.46
SO I WAS PRAYING AND I
DISCOVERED THE SABBATH TRUTH
00:14:56.49\00:14:59.49
AND ALL OF THESE THINGS I'M
SHARING WITH YOU, AND I FOUND
00:14:59.53\00:15:02.16
OUT WHAT THE SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTISTS BELIEVE.
00:15:02.20\00:15:04.27
ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AROUND,
I NOW MOVED OUT OF THE CAVE,
00:15:04.30\00:15:07.44
I HAD A JOB SELLING
SANDWICHES. AS I'M DRIVING FROM
00:15:07.47\00:15:11.91
PALM SPRINGS TO RIVERSIDE,
THERE WAS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
00:15:11.94\00:15:14.44
GENTLEMAN WALKING DOWN THE
ROAD, BLAZING HOT DESERT DAY,
00:15:14.48\00:15:17.65
HE'S GOT A BROWN PAPER BAG,
AND I STOPPED AND PICKED HIM UP.
00:15:17.68\00:15:19.95
HE HOPPED IN AND HE
GOES, "PRAISE THE LORD."
00:15:19.98\00:15:21.42
I SAID, "OH, ARE
YOU A CHRISTIAN?"
00:15:21.45\00:15:22.78
HE SAID, "YEAH."
I SAID, "SO AM I."
00:15:22.82\00:15:23.92
HE SAID, "PRAISE THE LORD."
AND SO WE DROVE ALONG, AND AS
00:15:23.95\00:15:27.12
WE PICKED UP STEAM, HE
SAYS, "DO YOU GO TO CHURCH?"
00:15:27.16\00:15:29.16
I SAID, "YEAH." HE
SAID, "WHAT DAY DO YOU GO?"
00:15:29.19\00:15:30.99
I THOUGHT, "THAT'S
INTERESTING HE'S ASKING THAT."
00:15:31.03\00:15:34.20
I SAID, "WELL, I GO SUNDAY,"
BECAUSE I WAS AT THAT TIME,
00:15:34.20\00:15:36.33
EVEN THOUGH I
LEARNED THE SABBATH TRUTH.
00:15:36.36\00:15:38.10
HE SAID, "DO YOU KNOW
WHAT DAY THE SABBATH IS?"
00:15:38.13\00:15:40.34
I SAID, "YEAH, SATURDAY."
HE SAID, "PRAISE THE LORD!"
00:15:40.37\00:15:44.64
AND I SAID, I SAID, "YOU'RE
A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST?"
00:15:44.67\00:15:47.51
HE SAID, "A WHAT?" I SAID, "YOU
KNOW, SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST."
00:15:47.54\00:15:52.11
"NO, I HAVEN'T HEARD OF
'EM, SORRY, CAN'T HELP YOU."
00:15:52.15\00:15:55.35
HE AND I BEGAN TO STUDY,
AND WE GOT SO INVOLVED, HE WAS
00:15:55.38\00:15:59.12
BELIEVING EVERYTHING THAT I HAD
BEEN PRESENTING AT THE SEMINAR
00:15:59.15\00:16:01.49
HERE THAT I WAS LETTING MY
SANDWICHES DE-THAW OUT THERE
00:16:01.52\00:16:04.73
IN THE VAN. WE WENT
AND SAT DOWN TOGETHER
00:16:04.76\00:16:06.59
AND JUST BEGAN
TO STUDY TOGETHER.
00:16:06.63\00:16:07.73
I SAID, "WHERE DID YOU
GET ALL THIS INFORMATION?"
00:16:07.76\00:16:09.70
HE SAID, "IT'S IN THE BIBLE."
00:16:09.73\00:16:12.37
THE LORD IMPRESSED ME
WITH SOMETHING THAT DAY I NEVER
00:16:12.40\00:16:14.14
FORGOT--IS THAT IF YOU
STUDY YOUR BIBLE, YOU'LL COME
00:16:14.17\00:16:17.54
TO THESE CONCLUSIONS.
IT'S IN THE BIBLE, FRIENDS.
00:16:17.57\00:16:20.88
ALL RIGHT, SO IT'S
A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT.
00:16:20.91\00:16:23.11
ANSWER G: IT WILL
TEACH THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL,
00:16:23.14\00:16:26.41
WHICH IS SALVATION
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST ALONE.
00:16:26.45\00:16:28.62
WE ARE SAVED BY
GRACE THROUGH FAITH.
00:16:28.65\00:16:30.82
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY KEEPING
THE SABBATH OR ANY COMMANDMENT.
00:16:30.85\00:16:33.56
BUT WE KEEP THE SABBATH
THE SAME REASON WE KEEP ANY OF
00:16:33.59\00:16:35.82
THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS, AMEN?
00:16:35.86\00:16:37.36
'CAUSE WE LOVE THE
LORD, BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED.
00:16:37.39\00:16:39.96
JESUS GIVES YOU THESE SEVEN
PROPHETIC IDENTIFYING POINTS
00:16:40.00\00:16:43.00
AND THEN SAYS, "GO
AND FIND MY CHURCH."
00:16:43.03\00:16:44.87
WHAT DOES HE PROMISE
REGARDING YOUR SEARCH?
00:16:44.90\00:16:47.80
THE PROMISE IS, "IF
YOU SEEK, YOU WILL FIND."
00:16:47.84\00:16:52.44
FRIENDS, YOU'VE GOT
TO BE WILLING TO SEARCH.
00:16:52.47\00:16:54.84
AND WHERE DO WE SEARCH?
YOU SEARCH IN THE WORD OF GOD.
00:16:54.88\00:16:58.38
YOU CAN SEARCH THROUGH PRAYER.
BUT GOD'S SPIRIT IS NEVER GONNA
00:16:58.41\00:17:02.45
LEAD YOU CONTRARY OR
CONTRADICT GOD'S WORD.
00:17:02.48\00:17:06.39
HOW MANY CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS
IN THE WORLD WILL FIT THESE
00:17:06.42\00:17:09.22
SEVEN POINTS THAT WE'VE COVERED?
00:17:09.26\00:17:11.19
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE IS ONE
LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM.
00:17:11.23\00:17:16.63
NOW, SOME PEOPLE
DON'T LIKE TO HEAR THIS.
00:17:16.67\00:17:18.57
AND YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY ALL
ALONG THE WAY THAT I BELIEVE
00:17:18.60\00:17:21.57
THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIANS
IN MANY CHURCHES--HAVEN'T I
00:17:21.60\00:17:23.41
SAID THAT? I STILL BELIEVE THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, FRIENDS?
00:17:23.44\00:17:26.14
BEFORE CHRIST COMES BACK I'VE
ALSO TOLD YOU THERE'S GONNA BE
00:17:26.17\00:17:28.48
A SHAKING IN CHRISTENDOM,
AND EVERYBODY'S GONNA POLARIZE
00:17:28.51\00:17:31.71
IN ONE OF TWO CAMPS. RIGHT
NOW, GOD HAS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.
00:17:31.75\00:17:35.38
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE THINK IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CHURCH YOU
00:17:35.42\00:17:37.32
BELONG TO; ALL RIVERS RUN
TO THE OCEAN, ALL CHURCHES
00:17:37.35\00:17:40.09
ARE GONNA GET YOU TO
HEAVEN. IT'S NOT TRUE.
00:17:40.12\00:17:44.93
I REMEMBER ONE TIME I
WAS DRIVING TO TEXAS FROM
00:17:44.96\00:17:46.70
CALIFORNIA LATE AT NIGHT,
TRIED TO GO ALL NIGHT LONG.
00:17:46.73\00:17:50.00
PULLED OFF TO GET SOME GAS,
PULLED BACK ON THE INTERSTATE,
00:17:50.03\00:17:53.40
WENT FOR SEVERAL MILES FEELING
VERY SECURE, I WAS MAKING
00:17:53.44\00:17:56.24
PROGRESS, AND I NOTICED THAT
THE SCENERY LOOKED FAMILIAR.
00:17:56.27\00:18:00.31
WENT A FEW MORE MILES
AND I NOTICED IT SAID,
00:18:00.34\00:18:03.41
"INTERSTATE 10
WEST." WELL, TEXAS WAS EAST.
00:18:03.45\00:18:08.58
BUT I SAID TO MYSELF,
"HEY, I'M SINCERE, I DON'T NEED
00:18:08.62\00:18:11.92
TO TURN AROUND."
IS THAT WHAT I SAID?
00:18:11.95\00:18:15.52
NO, I'M NEVER GONNA
GET TO TEXAS GOING WEST.
00:18:15.56\00:18:18.39
I HAD TO TURN AROUND. SINCERITY
IS NOT GONNA GET YOU THERE.
00:18:18.43\00:18:21.96
I WAS SINCERE, BUT WHEN I
LEARNED I WAS GOING THE WRONG
00:18:22.00\00:18:24.27
WAY, I TURNED AROUND, BECAUSE
I WASN'T GETTING ANY CLOSER
00:18:24.30\00:18:26.74
TO MY DESTINATION, RIGHT?
00:18:26.77\00:18:28.50
AND SO MANY PEOPLE THINK AS
LONG AS YOU JUST LOVE THE LORD,
00:18:28.54\00:18:30.47
IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
00:18:30.51\00:18:31.71
IT DOES MATTER WHAT YOU
BELIEVE, FRIENDS, BECAUSE YOU
00:18:31.74\00:18:34.24
BECOME LIKE WHO
AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
00:18:34.28\00:18:36.41
YOU BECOME LIKE WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:18:36.44\00:18:39.01
MANY DENOMINATIONS
CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN.
00:18:39.05\00:18:42.55
DOES THAT MAKE GOD'S--DOES THAT
MAKE THEM GOD'S TRUE CHURCH?
00:18:42.58\00:18:45.65
THERE'S A PROPHECY HERE
IN ISAIAH 4 THAT WE WOULD DO
00:18:45.69\00:18:47.79
WELL TO CONSIDER.
"AND THAT DAY," SPEAKING OF
00:18:47.82\00:18:50.19
THE LAST DAYS, "SEVEN WOMEN,"
WHAT DOES A WOMAN REPRESENT?
00:18:50.23\00:18:53.96
"SEVEN WOMEN WILL TAKE
HOLD OF ONE MAN," WHO IS THAT
00:18:54.00\00:18:56.46
ONE SON OF MAN? THAT'S JESUS.
00:18:56.50\00:18:59.00
"SAYING, WE'LL
EAT OUR OWN BREAD."
00:18:59.03\00:19:01.84
WHAT'S BREAD
REPRESENT? WORD OF GOD.
00:19:01.87\00:19:04.17
"AND WE'LL WEAR
OUR OWN APPAREL."
00:19:04.21\00:19:05.77
CLOTHING
REPRESENTS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:19:05.81\00:19:08.58
"ONLY LET US BE CALLED
BY THY NAME, TO TAKE AWAY
00:19:08.61\00:19:12.28
OUR REPROACH."
WHAT A FITTING PICTURE.
00:19:12.31\00:19:14.98
WE'VE GOT ALL THESE CHURCHES IN
THE LAST DAYS WHO SAY, "WE WANT
00:19:15.02\00:19:18.05
YOUR NAME, 'CAUSE THERE'S
NO OTHER NAME GIVEN AMONG MEN
00:19:18.09\00:19:21.12
WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR OWN
00:19:21.16\00:19:23.66
PRIVATE INTERPRETATION OF
THE BIBLE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR
00:19:23.69\00:19:25.99
OWN CONCEPT OF WHAT CONSTITUTES
RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT WE'RE GONNA
00:19:26.03\00:19:28.50
CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIAN."
BOY, IF EVER A PROPHECY HAD
00:19:28.53\00:19:31.17
COME TRUE, THAT
PROPHECY IS TRUE TODAY, AMEN?
00:19:31.20\00:19:33.97
THERE ARE A PROLIFERATION
OF CHURCHES THAT SAY THEY'RE
00:19:34.00\00:19:35.87
CHRISTIAN, BUT
THEY'RE DOING THEIR OWN THING.
00:19:35.90\00:19:37.97
GOD HAS A MOVEMENT WHERE
HE'S CALLING PEOPLE BACK TO THE
00:19:38.01\00:19:40.54
FOUNDATION MADE ON THE
ROCK, THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:19:40.58\00:19:44.51
AND SO YOU'VE GOT ALL
THESE CLONE CHURCHES THAT
00:19:44.55\00:19:47.88
INCIDENTALLY YOU CAN ALL
BE PART OF ONE CHURCH WITHOUT
00:19:47.92\00:19:50.95
BEING EXACTLY
THE SAME, CAN'T WE?
00:19:50.99\00:19:53.25
DOES GOD GIVE US
ROOM FOR DIVERSITY?
00:19:53.29\00:19:55.62
YES, YOU CAN BE YOURSELF.
DID JESUS HAVE 12 APOSTLES
00:19:55.66\00:19:58.63
THAT FOLLOWED HIM?
WERE THEY ALL THE SAME?
00:19:58.66\00:20:01.46
NO, THEY HAD GREAT DIVERSITY
AND INDIVIDUALITY AMONG THEM.
00:20:01.50\00:20:05.20
ONCE A PERSON DISCOVERS GOD'S
TRUE END-TIME CHURCH, IS IT
00:20:05.23\00:20:08.47
NECESSARY TO BECOME
A MEMBER? I THINK SO.
00:20:08.50\00:20:12.97
THE BIBLE SAYS, "AND THE
LORD ADDED TO THE CHURCH DAILY,
00:20:13.01\00:20:17.15
SUCH AS SHOULD BE SAVED."
NOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE
00:20:17.18\00:20:20.52
CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST,
AND WE EACH ONE ARE MEMBERS
00:20:20.55\00:20:24.29
INDIVIDUALLY.
NOW, TURN TO THE PERSON
00:20:24.32\00:20:26.72
NEXT TO YOU. GO
AHEAD, TURN TO THE PERSON--
00:20:26.76\00:20:28.96
YOU AT HOME, TURN IF
THERE'S ANYONE NEAR--DO THEY
00:20:28.99\00:20:30.73
HAVE A NOSE?
DOES THAT SCARE YOU?
00:20:30.76\00:20:34.93
IF I WERE TO POINT TO SOMEONE
AND SAY, "OH, LOOK, A NOSE!"
00:20:34.96\00:20:38.23
THAT DOESN'T
BOTHER YOU, DOES IT?
00:20:38.27\00:20:39.83
BUT WHAT IF I SAID,
"LOOK, ON THE FLOOR, A NOSE!"
00:20:39.87\00:20:42.97
NOW, IF I SAID I SAW A NOSE OR
A FINGER, AN ARM, ON THE FLOOR,
00:20:43.00\00:20:46.88
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD BE
A LITTLE DISTRACTED BY THAT?
00:20:46.91\00:20:49.84
IF I SAID, "DON'T PAY ANY
ATTENTION TO THE NOSE THAT'S
00:20:49.88\00:20:51.81
SITTING ON THE FLOOR HERE, JUST
WE'RE GONNA KEEP ON PREACHING,"
00:20:51.85\00:20:54.15
YOU'D BE, "OH, OH,
A NOSE ON THE FLOOR!"
00:20:54.18\00:20:57.02
YOU KNOW THAT IT NEEDS
TO BE ON A FACE, RIGHT?
00:20:57.05\00:20:59.65
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN
BE PART OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
00:20:59.69\00:21:02.22
AND BE AMPUTATED FROM THE
CHURCH. NO, YOU DON'T LIVE LONG.
00:21:02.26\00:21:06.09
A FINGER, NOSE, ONE OF THESE
EXTREMITIES, DOESN'T LIVE LONG
00:21:06.13\00:21:09.06
WHEN IT'S TAKEN
AWAY FROM THE LIFE.
00:21:09.10\00:21:11.10
IF YOU WANT TO BE ALIVE, YOU
NEED TO BE PART OF GOD'S LIVING
00:21:11.13\00:21:13.80
CHURCH, THE LIVING BODY, AMEN?
A BABY THAT'S BORN AND PLACED
00:21:13.84\00:21:18.11
OUT IN THE WOODS
GETS EATEN BY THE WOLVES.
00:21:18.14\00:21:20.98
LITTLE LAMBS NEED TO BE IN
THE FOLD; YOU NEED TO BE IN
00:21:21.01\00:21:23.08
A FAMILY, SO WE NEED
TO BE PART OF A CHURCH.
00:21:23.11\00:21:26.68
HOW MANY WAYS OF ESCAPE WERE
THERE BACK IN THE DAYS OF NOAH?
00:21:26.72\00:21:31.09
JESUS SAID, "AS IT WAS IN
THE DAYS OF NOAH, SO ALSO SHALL
00:21:31.12\00:21:34.16
IT BE IN THE DAYS OF
THE SON OF MAN." IT SAYS,
00:21:34.19\00:21:37.16
"BY FAITH NOAH PREPARED 26
ARKS." IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:21:37.19\00:21:44.07
NO, IT SAYS, "PREPARED AN
ARK," ONE, "TO THE SAVING OF HIS
00:21:44.10\00:21:47.77
HOUSE." YOU KNOW THE STORY
OF NOAH? HE SAID, "THE END IS
00:21:47.80\00:21:51.84
COMING AND THERE'S ONE WAY
OF ESCAPE, GOD HAS WARNED ME."
00:21:51.87\00:21:55.41
AND HE PLEAD WITH THE
PEOPLE, BUT THEY MOCKED HIM.
00:21:55.44\00:21:57.38
THEY SAID, "ALL THINGS CONTINUE
AS THEY WERE FROM THE BEGINNING.
00:21:57.41\00:22:00.32
THE END ISN'T COMING; WE
HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT."
00:22:00.35\00:22:02.32
BUT GOD GAVE THEM ABUNDANT
EVIDENCE THAT NOAH WAS TELLING
00:22:02.35\00:22:05.09
THE TRUTH. THE SKY TURNED
DARK WITH CLOUDS OF BIRDS THAT
00:22:05.12\00:22:09.02
SUDDENLY CAME TO THE ARK,
AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THERE WAS
00:22:09.06\00:22:10.96
A RUSTLING IN THE WOODS.
AND ALL THESE GREAT BEASTS
00:22:10.99\00:22:13.13
AND SMALL CAME, AND BEGAN TO
GO, LED BY ANGELS INTO THE ARK.
00:22:13.16\00:22:17.27
AND THEN FINALLY, AFTER
THEY ALL GOT ONTO THE ARK, NOAH
00:22:17.30\00:22:19.37
PLEAD FOR THE
PEOPLE TO COME INSIDE.
00:22:19.40\00:22:22.30
THEY SAID, "WELL, YOU
KNOW, IT'S NOT RAINING YET."
00:22:22.34\00:22:24.97
THEY WANTED TO WAIT
UNTIL THEY SAW THE STORM.
00:22:25.01\00:22:27.84
BUT THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
GOD CALLED NOAH AND HIS FAMILY
00:22:27.88\00:22:30.78
INTO THE ARK, AND
THEN HE SHUT THE DOOR.
00:22:30.81\00:22:33.25
AND LIFE WENT ON AS NORMAL
FOR SEVEN MORE DAYS AFTER NOAH
00:22:33.28\00:22:37.25
AND HIS FAMILY WERE
SAFE AND SECURE IN THE ARK.
00:22:37.29\00:22:39.65
THEN THE RAIN CAME,
THEN THE FLOODS DESCENDED.
00:22:39.69\00:22:43.39
THEN THEY ALL BEGAN TO
KNOCK ON THE ARK AND SAY, "NOAH,
00:22:43.43\00:22:45.99
WE'D LIKE TO TALK.
THIS IS AVON, OPEN UP."
00:22:46.03\00:22:49.56
ANYTHING THEY COULD DO TO TRY
AND GET HIM TO OPEN THE DOOR.
00:22:49.60\00:22:51.87
BUT IT WAS TOO LATE,
THE DOOR HAD BEEN SHUT THEN.
00:22:51.90\00:22:54.17
SOME PEOPLE ARE GONNA WAIT
UNTIL THEY SEE JESUS COMING
00:22:54.20\00:22:56.34
BEFORE THEY REPENT.
00:22:56.37\00:22:57.71
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A SIGN
OUT IN FRONT OF A BAPTIST CHURCH
00:22:57.74\00:22:59.81
THAT SAID, "REPENT
NOW AND AVOID THE RUSH."
00:22:59.84\00:23:03.24
BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
00:23:03.28\00:23:06.41
BUT BECAUSE NOAH BELIEVED,
HE AND HIS FAMILY, THOSE THAT
00:23:06.45\00:23:09.45
LISTENED TO GOD AND
TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS ARK
00:23:09.48\00:23:12.59
OF SAFETY, WERE SAVED.
AND THEY HAD A NEW LIFE AS
00:23:12.62\00:23:16.36
A RESULT OF THAT,
BECAUSE THEY TRUSTED THE LORD.
00:23:16.39\00:23:18.73
FRIENDS, GOD HAS AN ARK OF
SAFETY AND IT'S HIS CHURCH.
00:23:18.76\00:23:21.80
IT'S A PLACE WHERE WE COME
TOGETHER, WE LEARN HIS WORD,
00:23:21.83\00:23:23.83
WE LEARN TO LOVE EACH
OTHER, AND WE'RE PREPARING TO BE
00:23:23.87\00:23:26.43
CAUGHT UP WHEN
THE LORD COMES. AMEN?
00:23:26.47\00:23:28.80
I AM NOT SAYING MEMBERSHIP
OF A CHURCH IS CRITERIA FOR
00:23:28.84\00:23:33.44
SALVATION--IN OTHER WORDS, I
AM NOT SAYING, I DO THINK IT'S
00:23:33.48\00:23:35.61
IMPORTANT TO BE PART OF A
CHURCH THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:23:35.64\00:23:38.98
A MEMBER ON THE EARTH BELOW
THAT YOUR NAME AUTOMATICALLY IS
00:23:39.01\00:23:43.05
WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.
BUT IT CERTAINLY IS IMPORTANT
00:23:43.08\00:23:46.29
TO CAST YOUR
VOTE ON CHRIST'S SIDE.
00:23:46.32\00:23:49.19
IF JESUS WALKED THE EARTH
TODAY, WOULD YOU WANT TO BE
00:23:49.22\00:23:51.19
PART OF HIS FAMILY?
SINCE THERE ARE MANY FAITHFUL
00:23:51.23\00:23:54.46
CHRISTIANS IN OTHER CHURCHES
AND SINCE GOD ONLY HAS ONE TRUE
00:23:54.46\00:23:58.50
REMNANT CHURCH, WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THESE SINCERE
00:23:58.53\00:24:01.17
CHRISTIANS IN OTHER
FELLOWSHIPS? JOHN 10:16,
00:24:01.20\00:24:06.07
"OTHER SHEEP I HAVE
WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD.
00:24:06.11\00:24:10.08
THEM ALSO I MUST BRING,
AND THEY WILL HEAR MY VOICE--"
00:24:10.11\00:24:15.88
AND THERE SHALL BE 72,
530? NO, NO, NO, "ONE FOLD."
00:24:15.92\00:24:23.09
YOU SEE WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
WHEN CHRIST COMES BACK, FRIENDS?
00:24:23.12\00:24:25.09
THERE'S GONNA BE ONE WOMAN,
ONE TRUE FOLD, ONE SHEPHERD.
00:24:25.13\00:24:29.66
REVELATION 18:2 AND 4, "BABYLON
THE GREAT IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN.
00:24:29.70\00:24:34.07
COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE,
THAT YOU BE NOT PARTAKERS OF
00:24:34.10\00:24:40.78
HER SINS AND THAT YOU
RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES."
00:24:40.81\00:24:44.61
NOW, FRIENDS, IN THE LAST
DAYS GOD IS CALLING US TO COME
00:24:44.65\00:24:48.72
TOGETHER BASED ON HIS WORD,
NOT BASED ON A DENOMINATION
00:24:48.75\00:24:52.22
OR A CLUB, OR
SOME SOCIAL STRUCTURE.
00:24:52.25\00:24:55.46
