THEM. THEY LOOK AT

>>WELL, WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO
OUR STUDY TONIGHT - I'VE GOT A
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.54
LOT THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH
YOU AND THE TITLE OF THE PROGRAM
00:01:52.54\00:01:55.44
IS 'CLOTHED WITH LIGHT'.
NOW, WOULD YOU AGREE WITH
00:01:55.44\00:01:59.11
ME THAT THERE IS ONE TRUTH?
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, IT
00:01:59.11\00:02:05.59
DOESN'T MATTER,
EVERYONE'S GOT THEIR OWN TRUTH.'
00:02:05.59\00:02:07.16
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT
WAY. THERE IS ONE TRUTH.
00:02:07.16\00:02:10.53
TRUTH DOESN'T CHANGE ACCORDING
TO YOUR OPINION AND MY OPINION.
00:02:10.53\00:02:13.36
IF YOU'VE GOT A PILOT FLYING
YOU AROUND YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO
00:02:13.36\00:02:16.06
SAY, 'WELL, MY IDEA OF
AERODYNAMIC LAW IS DIFFERENT
00:02:16.06\00:02:18.47
FROM THE OTHER PILOTS' IDEA.
OR IF YOU'VE GOT A BRAIN SURGEON
00:02:18.47\00:02:21.84
AND HE SAYS, 'WELL, SOME PEOPLE
THINK THAT THE BRAIN IS ABOVE
00:02:21.84\00:02:24.67
THE SHOULDERS BUT I
THINK IT'S BELOW THE KNEES.
00:02:24.67\00:02:26.98
THAT'S HOW I FEEL AND MY
TRUTH'S AS GOOD AS YOUR TRUTH.'
00:02:26.98\00:02:29.64
THERE ARE CERTAIN ABSOLUTE
TRUTHS, FRIENDS, AND IT DOES
00:02:29.64\00:02:32.48
MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
NOW, I BELIEVE I'VE GOT AN
00:02:32.48\00:02:35.22
INTELLIGENT GROUP THAT COMES TO
OUR SEMINARS AND SO YOU PROBABLY
00:02:35.22\00:02:39.02
HAVE ALREADY FIGURED OUT, 'WELL,
DOUG, OBVIOUSLY YOU THINK THAT
00:02:39.02\00:02:41.89
YOU BELIEVE THE TRUTH
AND THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE.'
00:02:41.89\00:02:44.86
HOW MANY OF YOU
ALREADY KNEW THAT?
00:02:44.86\00:02:47.46
WOULDN'T YOU THINK I WAS A
HYPOCRITE IF I WERE TO SAY TO
00:02:47.46\00:02:49.10
YOU, 'I REALLY THINK THAT THE
TRUTH IS ANOTHER RELIGION THAN
00:02:49.10\00:02:52.07
THE ONE I'M PART OF.'
YOU'D SAY, 'WELL, WHY ARE
00:02:52.07\00:02:54.20
YOU NOT PART OF IT THEN?' RIGHT?
00:02:54.20\00:02:56.94
WOULDN'T YOU KNOW
THAT? AND SO, HOW DO YOU FIND
00:02:56.94\00:03:00.08
OUT WHAT IS THE
TRUTH? WHERE DO YOU GO?
00:03:00.08\00:03:05.01
THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD CHURCHES
OUT THERE, SO YOU KNOW HOW MOST
00:03:05.01\00:03:07.55
PEOPLE PICK A CHURCH? LET
ME TELL YOU WHAT SOME OF THE
00:03:07.55\00:03:10.65
MAIN REASONS ARE PEOPLE PICK
- I'M ASSUMING THAT - IF IT'S A
00:03:10.65\00:03:13.32
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
THESE ARE THE REASONS.
00:03:13.32\00:03:16.19
'I LIKE THE MUSIC
SO THAT'S WHERE I GO.'
00:03:16.19\00:03:21.80
'THEY'VE GOT A
GREAT CHILDREN'S PROGRAM.'
00:03:21.80\00:03:25.50
'IT'S CLOSE TO MY
HOUSE.' - CONVENIENT -
00:03:25.50\00:03:30.47
'I LIKE THE BUILDING.
IT'S SUCH A PRETTY BUILDING.'
00:03:30.47\00:03:34.91
SOME PEOPLE ARE REALLY STRUCK
WITH ARCHITECTURE - THEY LIKE
00:03:34.91\00:03:37.95
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS AND -
SOME PEOPLE - MOST PEOPLE - SAY,
00:03:37.95\00:03:42.78
'WELL, IT'S WHERE I GREW
UP. IT'S WHERE MY FAMILY AND MY
00:03:42.78\00:03:45.19
ANCESTORS WENT AND
SO THAT'S WHERE I GO.'
00:03:45.19\00:03:47.59
'WHAT DO THEY
BELIEVE?' 'I DON'T KNOW BUT
00:03:47.59\00:03:48.72
THAT'S WHERE WE ALWAYS GO.'
'THE PREACHER'S CHARISMATIC.'
00:03:48.72\00:03:54.56
'WHAT DOES HE BELIEVE?'
'WELL, I'M NOT SURE BUT
00:03:54.56\00:03:57.40
IT'S SURE ENTERTAINING.'
'THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY.'
00:03:57.40\00:04:03.37
'WHAT DO THEY
BELIEVE?' 'WHO CARES?
00:04:03.37\00:04:05.14
THEY'RE NICE
AND I NEED FRIENDS.'
00:04:05.14\00:04:10.01
AND I COULD GO THROUGH, YOU
KNOW, JUST A NUMBER OF OTHER
00:04:10.01\00:04:14.02
REASONS LIKE THAT, THAT - YOU
KNOW, BUT NONE OF THOSE ARE BAD.
00:04:14.02\00:04:18.12
I MEAN, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO GO
TO A CHURCH THAT'S CLOSE TO THE
00:04:18.12\00:04:19.99
HOUSE? IT'D BE NICE IF
THEY'VE GOT GOOD MUSIC.
00:04:19.99\00:04:22.86
YOU'D HOPE THAT THE, YOU
KNOW, SINGING DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
00:04:22.86\00:04:25.36
FEEDING TIME AT THE ZOO.
YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A BUILDING
00:04:25.36\00:04:27.73
BETTER THAN JUST AN OLD
RENOVATED HAMBURGER STAND.
00:04:27.73\00:04:30.07
YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A PREACHER
THAT CAN KEEP YOU AWAKE.
00:04:30.07\00:04:33.50
I MEAN, ALL THOSE THINGS ARE
GOOD, BUT DID I NAME ONE SINGLE
00:04:33.50\00:04:37.94
REASON THAT SHOULD BE THE
PRIMARY REASON THAT YOU PICK A
00:04:37.94\00:04:40.24
CHURCH? READ THE INGREDIENTS.
00:04:40.24\00:04:45.68
WHAT ARE THE FOUNDATIONAL
TEACHINGS, BIBLICALLY, OF THAT
00:04:45.68\00:04:48.52
CHURCH? BECAUSE,
ULTIMATELY, THAT'S
00:04:48.52\00:04:50.49
WHAT YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE
FOR. WHAT ARE THE DOCTRINES?
00:04:50.49\00:04:52.89
WHAT ARE THE TEACHINGS?
THAT'S WHAT CHANGES PEOPLE.
00:04:52.89\00:04:56.56
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING
- WE'RE GOING TO GO ON A LITTLE
00:04:56.56\00:04:58.59
SEARCH NOW AND FIND OUT DOES
PROPHECY TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT
00:04:58.59\00:05:03.06
HOW TO IDENTIFY GOD'S PEOPLE AND
THIS CHURCH THAT IS SPOKEN OF
00:05:03.06\00:05:08.20
THERE IN REVELATION CHAPTER
12. HOW DO WE FIND GOD'S CHURCH?
00:05:08.20\00:05:12.14
LET'S GO TO QUESTION #1 AND I'VE
GOT A LOT TO COVER TONIGHT SO
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.71
PRAY FOR ME. BY WHAT
- #1 - BY WHAT PROPHETIC
00:05:15.71\00:05:18.98
SYMBOL DOES GOD REPRESENT
HIS TRUE CHURCH IN THE BIBLE?
00:05:18.98\00:05:22.82
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS.
IT SAYS, "I'VE LIKENED THE
00:05:22.82\00:05:25.42
DAUGHTER OF ZION TO A
COMELY AND A DELICATE WOMAN."
00:05:25.42\00:05:29.09
JEREMIAH 6:2. AND
AGAIN, ISAIAH 51:16, "AND
00:05:29.09\00:05:32.83
SAY UNTO ZION
'THOU ART MY PEOPLE.'"
00:05:32.83\00:05:37.00
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT 'HUSBANDS
LOVE YOUR WIVES EVEN AS CHRIST
00:05:37.00\00:05:40.77
LOVES THE CHURCH.'
PAUL SAYS THAT THE CHURCH
00:05:40.77\00:05:43.91
MIGHT BE PRESENTED TO
CHRIST AS A CHASTE VIRGIN.
00:05:43.91\00:05:47.28
HE COMPARES THE
CHURCH TO THIS CHASTE VIRGIN.
00:05:47.28\00:05:50.01
IT'S LIKE THAT - THE WOMAN THERE
IN REVELATION 12 - INTERESTING
00:05:50.01\00:05:53.05
THING ABOUT THAT WOMAN - SHE'S
COMPARED TO A BRIDE BUT SHE'S
00:05:53.05\00:05:56.89
ALSO COMPARED TO A VIRGIN - SOME
HAVE THOUGHT, 'DOESN'T THAT MEAN
00:05:56.89\00:05:59.79
THAT IT'S MARY?' SHE'S GOT
TWELVE STARS ABOVE HER HEAD -
00:05:59.79\00:06:03.53
STAY WITH ME. 'SAY UNTO
ZION 'THOU ART MY PEOPLE.''
00:06:03.53\00:06:07.23
#2 - IN REVELATION 12, VERSE
1 JESUS SYMBOLIZES HIS CHURCH AS
00:06:07.23\00:06:12.47
A WOMAN, "CLOTHED WITH THE SUN,
WITH THE MOON UNDER HER FEET,
00:06:12.47\00:06:18.47
AND WEARING A CROWN - OR
GARLAND - OF TWELVE STARS."
00:06:18.47\00:06:22.08
WHAT DO THESE SYMBOLS MEAN?
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, A) THE SUN
00:06:22.08\00:06:26.38
REPRESENTS THE LIGHT
OF THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH.
00:06:26.38\00:06:29.85
JESUS SAID, 'I AM
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.'
00:06:29.85\00:06:31.55
SO IT REPRESENTS THE NEW
TESTAMENT - THE LIGHT WHEN
00:06:31.55\00:06:34.06
CHRIST CAME. THE MOON, ON
WHICH THE NEW TESTAMENT STANDS -
00:06:34.06\00:06:38.36
SHE'S STANDING ON THE MOON -
REPRESENTS THE TEACHINGS OF THE
00:06:38.36\00:06:41.66
OLD TESTAMENT - YOU KNOW, THE
MOON HAS GOT SOME SHADOWS AND
00:06:41.66\00:06:44.33
CRATERS YOU CAN SEE - ALL
THE SYMBOLS AND LAWS IN THE OLD
00:06:44.33\00:06:47.34
TESTAMENT WERE SHADOWS AND TYPES
TO HELP US RECOGNIZE JESUS.
00:06:47.34\00:06:52.11
AND THE OLD TESTAMENT IS REALLY
REFLECTING THE LIGHT THAT IS
00:06:52.11\00:06:54.94
REVEALED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
THE MOON HAS NO LIGHT OF ITS OWN
00:06:54.94\00:06:58.68
EXCEPT AS IT
REFLECTS THE LIGHT OF THE SUN.
00:06:58.68\00:07:01.92
AND SO SHE'S STANDING ON THE
MOON - YOU CANNOT HAVE A - YOU
00:07:01.92\00:07:04.75
CANNOT BE A NEW TESTAMENT
CHRISTIAN UNLESS YOU'RE STANDING
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.42
ON THE OLD TESTAMENT.
THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE
00:07:06.42\00:07:08.62
FOUNDATION FOR ALL
NEW TESTAMENT TRUTH.
00:07:08.62\00:07:11.29
GOD CALLS HIS
END-TIME CHURCH 'THE REMNANT'.
00:07:11.29\00:07:14.86
WHAT DOES THE
WORD 'REMNANT' MEAN?
00:07:14.86\00:07:18.63
NOW, IT'S VERY SIMPLE - THE
WORD REMNANT MEANS 'REMAINDER'.
00:07:18.63\00:07:22.67
I JUST ALMOST HAVE TO ILLUSTRATE
THIS TO - HERE, I'LL GRAB
00:07:22.67\00:07:25.51
THIS PIECE OF
PAPER HERE AND USE IT.
00:07:25.51\00:07:28.08
YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY MAKE FABRIC
AT A MILL WHERE THEY HAVE THE
00:07:28.08\00:07:32.21
LOOMS, THEY ROLL UP ON A
CARDBOARD ROLL LIKE THIS, YOU
00:07:32.21\00:07:35.48
KNOW, JUST LIKE
CARPET OR ANYTHING.
00:07:35.48\00:07:36.82
THEY ROLL IT UP AND THEN THEY
TAKE IT AND THEY TAPE IT AND
00:07:36.82\00:07:39.29
THEY PACK IT UP AND THEY SEND
IT OFF TO THE YARDAGE STORE LIKE
00:07:39.29\00:07:41.49
THIS IN ROLLS. THEY
EVEN DID THAT IN BIBLE
00:07:41.49\00:07:43.69
TIMES - A BOLT OF CLOTH.
AND THEN WHEN YOU GO SELL IT,
00:07:43.69\00:07:47.13
THEY MEASURE IT OUT AND THEY CUT
IT, MEASURE IT OUT AND CUT IT,
00:07:47.13\00:07:48.93
MEASURE IT OUT AND CUT IT - WHEN
YOU GET TO THE END OF THE BOLT
00:07:48.93\00:07:52.60
YOU'RE GETTING WHAT
WENT ON THE ROLL FIRST.
00:07:52.60\00:07:56.77
SO WHAT COMES OFF
LAST IS THE REMNANT.
00:07:56.77\00:08:00.24
GOD'S PEOPLE IN THE LAST DAYS
ARE CALLED THE REMNANT CHURCH.
00:08:00.24\00:08:04.95
WHAT YOU FIND AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE
IN THE LAST DAYS IS GOING TO
00:08:04.95\00:08:09.05
RESEMBLE IDENTICALLY THE
TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH WHEN
00:08:09.05\00:08:12.85
CHRIST ASCENDED TO HEAVEN THAT
HE GAVE THEM IN THE BEGINNING.
00:08:12.85\00:08:16.36
DID YOU GET THAT?
MATTER OF FACT, THERE'S A
00:08:16.36\00:08:18.19
SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS WE 'OUGHT TO
BE EARNESTLY CONTENDING FOR THE
00:08:18.19\00:08:21.66
FAITH THAT WAS ONCE DELIVERED TO
THE SAINTS.' JUST BEFORE JESUS
00:08:21.66\00:08:25.27
COMES IT SAYS HE'S GOING TO
POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT AGAIN - HE'S
00:08:25.27\00:08:28.54
CALLING FOR HIS PEOPLE TO RETURN
TO THE FAITH OF THE BIBLE -
00:08:28.54\00:08:32.61
THE PRIMITIVE FAITH
OF REAL CHRISTIANITY -
00:08:32.61\00:08:35.38
BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY.
AND, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:08:35.38\00:08:38.21
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY MORE
POPULAR IN THE LAST DAYS THAN IT
00:08:38.21\00:08:41.42
WAS WHEN CHRIST
FIRST GAVE IT TO THEM.
00:08:41.42\00:08:44.82
SO IF YOU'RE WAITING TO FIND A
POPULAR CHURCH THAT'S A BIBLICAL
00:08:44.82\00:08:48.39
CHURCH, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
EVER GOING TO BE SATISFIED
00:08:48.39\00:08:51.79
BECAUSE CHRIST'S TEACHINGS
ARE NOT TYPICALLY - HIS REAL
00:08:51.79\00:08:54.56
TEACHINGS - POPULAR IN A LOST
WORLD. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:08:54.56\00:08:58.97
THEY CRUCIFIED HIM
WHEN HE CAME THE FIRST TIME.
00:08:58.97\00:09:01.50
OUT OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES ONE
COMMITTED SUICIDE, THE OTHER TEN
00:09:01.50\00:09:05.77
DIED FOR THEIR FAITH.
ONLY JOHN DIED OF OLD AGE.
00:09:05.77\00:09:10.25
I'M NOT TRYING TO CHEER YOU
UP OR ANYTHING, BUT I'M JUST
00:09:10.25\00:09:12.65
LETTING YOU KNOW THAT,
HEY, JESUS SAID, 'I'VE BEEN
00:09:12.65\00:09:15.22
PERSECUTED. YOU'LL HAVE
TRIBULATION. BE OF GOOD CHEER.
00:09:15.22\00:09:18.42
I'VE OVERCOME THE WORLD.'
AND SO, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
00:09:18.42\00:09:20.22
THAT - DON'T LET
THAT DISCOURAGE YOU.
00:09:20.22\00:09:22.92
WHAT ADDITIONAL TWO POINTS DOES
JESUS GIVE US IN REVELATION 12
00:09:22.92\00:09:27.60
TO HELP US IDENTIFY HIS
END-TIME REMNANT CHURCH?
00:09:27.60\00:09:31.33
TWO VERY EASY THINGS - IT SAYS,
"AND THE DRAGON" - THIS IS THE
00:09:31.33\00:09:34.44
LAST VERSE OF REVELATION 12
- "THE DRAGON" - WHO'S THAT?
00:09:34.44\00:09:39.07
THE DEVIL - "WAS WROTH"
- WHAT DOES 'WROTH' MEAN?
00:09:39.07\00:09:42.54
ANGRY, FURIOUS -
"WITH THE WOMAN."
00:09:42.54\00:09:45.91
NOW, IS HE ANGRY WITH THE
WOMAN IN REVELATION 17 THAT'S A
00:09:45.91\00:09:48.65
HARLOT? OR IS
THE DEVIL ANGRY - THE
00:09:48.65\00:09:50.95
DEVIL GETS ALONG FINE WITH
HARLOTS - OR IS HE ANGRY WITH
00:09:50.95\00:09:54.26
THE ONE THAT'S
CLOTHED WITH LIGHT?
00:09:54.26\00:09:56.76
HE HATES GOD'S CHURCH - "AND
HE GOES TO MAKE WAR WITH HER."
00:09:56.76\00:10:01.93
- YOU'VE HEARD OF
THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON?
00:10:01.93\00:10:04.03
THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON IS
NOT A BATTLE BETWEEN CHINA AND
00:10:04.03\00:10:06.23
RUSSIA AND ISLAM AND THERE'S ALL
THESE CRAZY RUMORS OUT THERE -
00:10:06.23\00:10:09.84
YOU READ IN THE BIBLE IT'S THE
FINAL BATTLE BETWEEN THE DEVIL
00:10:09.84\00:10:14.61
AND THOSE WHO GET THE MARK OF
THE BEAST AND CHRIST AND THOSE
00:10:14.61\00:10:17.11
WHO HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD - AND
JESUS FIGHTS THAT BATTLE FOR US.
00:10:17.11\00:10:22.15
HE GOES "TO MAKE WAR WITH
THE REMNANT OF HER SEED" - THE
00:10:22.15\00:10:26.79
REMAINDER OF THE
OFFSPRING IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:10:26.79\00:10:31.53
AND WHAT ARE THE
PRIMARY CHARACTERISTICS?
00:10:31.53\00:10:34.00
"THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD" - LET ME PARK ON THAT FOR A
00:10:34.00\00:10:37.43
MINUTE. HOW MANY? 60%
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:10:37.43\00:10:44.41
EVERYBODY - EVERYBODY KEEPS SOME
OF THEM SOME OF THE TIME - YOU
00:10:44.41\00:10:47.01
KEEP THEM WHEN YOU'RE
SLEEPING - MOST OF THEM, RIGHT?
00:10:47.01\00:10:50.08
I MEAN, SO THE IDEA THAT GOD'S
JUST LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO KEEP
00:10:50.08\00:10:53.62
SOME OF THEM -
EVERYBODY DOES THAT.
00:10:53.62\00:10:56.38
EVERYBODY IN JAIL KEEPS
SOME OF THEM SOME OF THE TIME.
00:10:56.38\00:11:00.46
GOD IS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE
WHO BELIEVE IN ALL OF THEM
00:11:00.46\00:11:03.12
CONSISTENTLY. "KEEPS
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:11:03.12\00:11:05.83
AND HAS THE TESTIMONY OF
JESUS." PUT SIMPLY, THEY HAVE
00:11:05.83\00:11:08.43
THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
THEY'VE GOT THE WORD OF GOD -
00:11:08.43\00:11:11.67
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD -
AND THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
00:11:11.67\00:11:15.00
IT'S - IN THE BIBLE IT'S CALLED
'ELIJAH AND MOSES' - THE LAW AND
00:11:15.00\00:11:18.87
THE PROPHETS - THE WORD OF
GOD - THE NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT.
00:11:18.87\00:11:22.04
THAT SWORD WITH TWO EDGES -
SHE'S GOT THE WORD OF GOD - BUT
00:11:22.04\00:11:25.45
IT'S MORE SPECIFIC IN THAT
'AT LEAST SHE KEEPS THE TEN
00:11:25.45\00:11:28.22
COMMANDMENTS'. WHAT
OTHER POINTS DOES PROPHECY
00:11:28.22\00:11:31.32
PROVIDE TO HELP
IDENTIFY THE REMNANT CHURCH?
00:11:31.32\00:11:36.42
WELL, IT SAYS IT WILL APPEAR
AND DO ITS VISIBLE WORK AFTER IT
00:11:36.42\00:11:40.23
EMERGES FROM THE WILDERNESS IN
1798 - WE NOTICE THAT IN 538 THE
00:11:40.23\00:11:45.73
CHURCH HAD TO GO UNDERGROUND
BECAUSE THE APOSTATE CHURCH HAD
00:11:45.73\00:11:50.41
REALLY BECOME A POLITICAL
INSTITUTION AND COMPROMISED A
00:11:50.41\00:11:53.31
GREAT DEAL FROM THE
BIBLE AND FED OF GOD -
00:11:53.31\00:11:57.71
THEY HAD THE BIBLE UP
THERE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
00:11:57.71\00:11:59.25
THEY WERE COPYING IT BY
HAND UNTIL 1798 WHERE THEY COULD
00:11:59.25\00:12:03.49
EMERGE AGAIN AND
OPERATE MORE FREELY.
00:12:03.49\00:12:07.26
IT SAYS THAT IT WOULD DO ITS
VISIBLE WORK AFTER IT EMERGES
00:12:07.26\00:12:09.99
FROM THE WILDERNESS IN 1798
- WE SHOWED YOU ABOUT AMERICAN
00:12:09.99\00:12:13.43
PROPHECY IF YOU REMEMBER - RIGHT
ABOUT THAT TIME THE NEW WORLD
00:12:13.43\00:12:17.67
WAS BEING POPULATED WITH A
NEW GOVERNMENT THAT ALLOWED
00:12:17.67\00:12:20.27
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND THE PEOPLE
WHO WERE FLOCKING TO ITS SHORES
00:12:20.27\00:12:23.74
WERE NOT COMING TO TRAP BEAVER.
THEY WERE COMING BECAUSE THEY
00:12:23.74\00:12:27.78
WERE LOOKING FOR
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
00:12:27.78\00:12:31.11
THEY WANTED TO WORSHIP GOD
ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF
00:12:31.11\00:12:33.01
THEIR CONSCIENCE AND NOT
ACCORDING TO A MANDATE FROM THE
00:12:33.01\00:12:36.15
GOVERNMENT. IT SAYS,
'IT WILL TEACH THE SAME
00:12:36.15\00:12:39.22
TRUTHS TAUGHT BY THE APOSTLES
AND ALL THE TEACHINGS WOULD
00:12:39.22\00:12:43.46
AGREE WITH THE BIBLE.
NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHY I AM A
00:12:43.46\00:12:46.29
MEMBER OF THE CHURCH I AM A
MEMBER OF? BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE
00:12:46.29\00:12:49.86
THE FEELING OF BEING EMBARRASSED
- I LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE
00:12:49.86\00:12:53.00
SOMEONE A REASON FOR WHAT I
BELIEVE, BIBLICALLY. NOW, IF YOU
00:12:53.00\00:12:57.34
DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE THEN
WE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMON GROUND.
00:12:57.34\00:13:00.78
I'LL STILL TRY AND REASON
WITH YOU FOR OTHER - FROM OTHER
00:13:00.78\00:13:03.11
PERSPECTIVES, BUT IF YOU'RE
A BIBLE CHRISTIAN I WANT TO BE
00:13:03.11\00:13:06.31
ABLE TO POINT TO THE BIBLE AND
SAY, 'HERE'S WHY I BELIEVE AND
00:13:06.31\00:13:09.42
PRACTICE WHAT I
BELIEVE AND PRACTICE.
00:13:09.42\00:13:11.49
WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OR
ASHAMED OF WHAT THOSE THINGS
00:13:11.49\00:13:14.39
ARE. IT WILL KEEP THE TEN
00:13:14.39\00:13:17.49
COMMANDMENTS AND THAT WOULD
BE INCLUDING THE BIBLE SABBATH.
00:13:17.49\00:13:20.80
REMEMBER? THAT'S
HOW IT STARTS, REMEMBER?
00:13:20.80\00:13:25.13
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE
LONGEST COMMANDMENT, THE ONLY
00:13:25.13\00:13:28.54
ONE THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORD
'REMEMBER', IN THE MIDDLE OF
00:13:28.54\00:13:32.17
GOD'S LAW, THE ONLY ONE
THAT CONTAINS THE WORD 'HOLY'
00:13:32.17\00:13:36.24
AND YET IT'S BEING
SORT OF CAST ASIDE.
00:13:36.24\00:13:38.41
THE LAST DAYS - THE BIG ARGUMENT
BETWEEN THE TWO MOVEMENTS IS -
00:13:38.41\00:13:41.75
SEAL OF GOD, WORSHIP GOD - MARK
OF THE BEAST, WORSHIP THE BEAST.
00:13:41.75\00:13:45.35
THEY BOTH HAVE
TO DO WITH WORSHIP.
00:13:45.35\00:13:47.62
THERE'S ONE COMMANDMENT THAT
DEALS WITH A TIME AND LAW AND
00:13:47.62\00:13:50.76
WORSHIP. IT'S ONE
THAT THE BEAST POWER
00:13:50.76\00:13:53.19
SAID IT WOULD TRY TO
CHANGE. IT DOES MATTER.
00:13:53.19\00:13:56.40
GIVING GOD YOUR TIME MEANS
GIVING HIM YOUR LIFE AND THE
00:13:56.40\00:13:58.40
SABBATH IS JUST A SIGN OF THAT.
WHAT WAS THE CUSTOM OF JESUS?
00:13:58.40\00:14:03.74
'AND IT CAME TO PASS AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
00:14:03.74\00:14:05.87
CHURCH - THE SYNAGOGUE - ON THE
SABBATH DAY AND STOOD UP TO READ
00:14:05.87\00:14:08.41
THE SCRIPTURES.'
JESUS WAS A SABBATH KEEPER.
00:14:08.41\00:14:11.08
SO IF YOU GIVE ME A HARD
TIME ABOUT MAKING AN ISSUE ABOUT
00:14:11.08\00:14:13.28
THIS, YOU NEED TO TAKE
THAT UP WITH JESUS, OKAY?
00:14:13.28\00:14:16.48
IT'S BETWEEN YOU AND HIM - IT'S
NOT BETWEEN YOU AND PASTOR DOUG.
00:14:16.48\00:14:19.45
AND DON'T SAY, 'WELL, PASTOR
DOUG, YOU SAY' - NO, TAKE IT UP
00:14:19.45\00:14:21.72
WITH JESUS. I DIDN'T MAKE THE
- WRITE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:21.72\00:14:25.03
THEY'RE NOT THE TEN
RECOMMENDATIONS OR THE TEN
00:14:25.03\00:14:27.76
SUGGESTIONS. DOES IT
MATTER IF ANYTHING IN
00:14:27.76\00:14:31.77
THE BIBLE - IF ANYTHING IN THE
CHRISTIAN RELIGION MATTERS, IT
00:14:31.77\00:14:34.87
WOULD START WITH THE PART
THAT GOD SPOKE AND HE WROTE.
00:14:34.87\00:14:38.27
WOULDN'T YOU THINK THAT?
IF ANY OF IT MATTERS - SOME OF
00:14:38.27\00:14:41.38
US ARE VERY DEFENSIVE
ABOUT STUFF THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:14:41.38\00:14:44.15
WE ARGUE ABOUT TRIVIA THAT
JUST REALLY ISN'T WORTH IT.
00:14:44.15\00:14:47.42
BUT THE THINGS THAT REALLY DO
MATTER - THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID,
00:14:47.42\00:14:49.78
'YOU STRAIN A GNAT' - YOU KNOW,
JEWS USED TO STRAIN THEIR WATER
00:14:49.78\00:14:52.62
BECAUSE THERE MIGHT BE A GNAT IN
THERE AND AFTER ALL, GNATS ARE
00:14:52.62\00:14:54.59
UNCLEAN INSECTS - AND THEN
THEY'D GO EAT CAMEL STEAK AT THE
00:14:54.59\00:14:58.39
RESTAURANT, WHICH WAS
UNCLEAN. AND JESUS TOLD THEM,
00:14:58.39\00:15:02.43
'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. YOU
STRAIN A GNAT - ACT LIKE
00:15:02.43\00:15:04.93
YOU'RE RELIGIOUS -
AND YOU SWALLOW A CAMEL.'
00:15:04.93\00:15:09.54
AND SOMETIMES WE MAKE A BIG
DEAL OUT OF LITTLE THINGS AND WE
00:15:09.54\00:15:12.04
MISS THE BIG THINGS LIKE THE DAY
TO WORSHIP GOD THAT HE'S BLESSED
00:15:12.04\00:15:15.38
AND COMMANDED.
THAT'S A BIG THING.
00:15:15.38\00:15:18.18
'OH, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT DAY
IT IS, DOUG, YOU PICK YOUR OWN.
00:15:18.18\00:15:20.48
DOES HE SAY THAT? OR DOES HE
SAY, 'MY DAY THAT I BLESSED'?
00:15:20.48\00:15:24.12
SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT WILL
NARROW DOWN YOUR FIELD OF SEARCH
00:15:24.12\00:15:26.99
VERY QUICKLY. IT
SAYS THAT THIS CHURCH WILL
00:15:26.99\00:15:29.82
HAVE NOT ONLY THE COMMANDMENTS
OF GOD, BUT IT HAS THE
00:15:29.82\00:15:32.09
TESTIMONY OF JESUS. WHAT
IS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS?
00:15:32.09\00:15:36.13
IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION
19, VERSE 10, THE ANGEL SAYS TO
00:15:36.13\00:15:40.24
JOHN, 'FEAR GOD FOR THE
TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT
00:15:40.24\00:15:45.04
OF PROPHECY.' YOU
KNOW, IT TELLS US IN
00:15:45.04\00:15:48.24
ISAIAH, 'BIND THE LAW,
SEAL - BIND UP THE LAW, SEAL MY
00:15:48.24\00:15:53.45
DISCIPLES - SEAL THE
LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES.'
00:15:53.45\00:15:56.12
HE TALKS ABOUT THE
LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
00:15:56.12\00:15:58.25
'ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND THE
TESTIMONY - IF THEY SPEAK NOT
00:15:58.25\00:16:00.86
ACCORDING TO THIS WORD
THERE'S NO LIGHT IN THEM.'
00:16:00.86\00:16:03.12
THOSE TWO THINGS
REPRESENT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:16:03.12\00:16:06.80
IT SAYS IT WILL PROCLAIM GOD'S
THREE TIME - THREE PART END-TIME
00:16:06.80\00:16:10.97
MESSAGES WITH A LOUD VOICE.
THE MESSAGE THAT GOD'S PEOPLE
00:16:10.97\00:16:14.50
ARE GIVING IN THE LAST DAYS
IS A MESSAGE THAT IS FOUND IN
00:16:14.50\00:16:18.84
REVELATION 14, VERSES 1
THROUGH 6 - IT'S CALLED THE
00:16:18.84\00:16:22.21
THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES.
AFTER THESE MESSAGES ARE GIVEN,
00:16:22.21\00:16:27.72
IT SAYS CHRIST
COMES IN THE CLOUDS.
00:16:27.72\00:16:30.89
ANGELS - THE WORD 'ANGEL'
MEANS MESSENGER IN THE BIBLE.
00:16:30.89\00:16:34.19
YOU READ THOSE HERE - WHAT
ARE THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGES?
00:16:34.19\00:16:36.99
FIRST ANGEL IN REVELATION 14:6,
"I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL FLYING IN
00:16:36.99\00:16:41.23
THE MIDST OF HEAVEN HAVING THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL - THE GOOD
00:16:41.23\00:16:44.70
NEWS - TO PREACH TO THOSE WHO
DWELL ON THE EARTH - TO EVERY
00:16:44.70\00:16:47.67
NATION, TRIBE, TONGUE AND PEOPLE
- SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE,
00:16:47.67\00:16:51.71
'FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM,
FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT IS
00:16:51.71\00:16:55.58
COME. '" GOD'S PEOPLE ARE TO
BE SAYING, 'WE ARE LIVING IN THE
00:16:55.58\00:16:59.45
LAST DAYS. THE
LORD IS ABOUT TO COME.'
00:16:59.45\00:17:01.52
THE DAY OF THE LORD - WHEN
THE TIME OF HIS FINAL JUDGMENT -
00:17:01.52\00:17:04.92
"AND WORSHIP HIM" - NOTICE THIS
- "WORSHIP HIM WHO MADE" - NOW
00:17:04.92\00:17:11.26
THIS IS A QUOTE FROM THE FOURTH
COMMANDMENT - SABBATH - "THE
00:17:11.26\00:17:14.10
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND THE
SEA" - IT SAYS, 'FOR IN SIX DAYS
00:17:14.10\00:17:16.87
THE LORD MADE THE HEAVENS
AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA.'
00:17:16.87\00:17:19.70
IT'S CALLING PEOPLE BACK TO
WORSHIP THE GOD OF THE BIBLE -
00:17:19.70\00:17:23.47
THE CREATOR - AND IT'S EVEN
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SABBATH
00:17:23.47\00:17:26.24
COMMANDMENT - THE MESSAGE
THAT GOES IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:17:26.24\00:17:29.11
THE SECOND ANGEL SAYS, "BABYLON
IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN, THAT GREAT
00:17:29.11\00:17:35.22
CITY, BECAUSE SHE HAS MADE ALL
NATIONS DRINK OF THE WINE OF THE
00:17:35.22\00:17:38.45
WRATH OF HER FORNICATION."
IT'S A WARNING ABOUT BABYLON.
00:17:38.45\00:17:42.79
YOU SEE, NOT ONLY IS THE MESSAGE
IN THE LAST DAYS TO UPLIFT
00:17:42.79\00:17:45.99
CHRIST AND A RETURN TO
WORSHIPING GOD AND SAYING THE
00:17:45.99\00:17:48.40
LORD IS ABOUT TO COME -
IT'S SAYING, 'NOT ONLY IS IT
00:17:48.40\00:17:51.50
IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THE
TRUTH IS, YOU NEED TO AVOID WHAT
00:17:51.50\00:17:55.30
THE LIE IS. WE NOT
ONLY WANT TO GRAVITATE
00:17:55.30\00:17:58.34
TOWARDS THE TRUE WOMAN, WE
WANT TO AVOID AND RECOGNIZE THE
00:17:58.34\00:18:01.34
DANGER OF STAYING WHERE
WE ARE.' IT SAYS, 'BABYLON IS
00:18:01.34\00:18:06.88
FALLEN.' GOD IS TELLING HIS
PEOPLE TO COME OUT OF BABYLON.
00:18:06.88\00:18:10.99
"AND THE ANGEL CRIES MIGHTILY
WITH A STRONG VOICE SAYING,
00:18:10.99\00:18:13.62
'BABYLON THE GREAT IS FALLEN,
IS FALLEN AND HAS BECOME THE
00:18:13.62\00:18:16.49
HABITATION OF DEVILS AND
THE HOLD OF EVERY FOUL SPIRIT.'"
00:18:16.49\00:18:19.83
THEN THE APPEAL IS
"COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE."
00:18:19.83\00:18:26.07
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT CAN BE
AS PLAIN - IT CAN'T BE ANY MORE
00:18:26.07\00:18:29.80
PLAIN. THAT MEANS GOD HAS
HIS PEOPLE IN THESE CHURCHES.
00:18:29.80\00:18:36.88
GOD HAS GOT HIS PEOPLE
SCATTERED THROUGH MANY DIFFERENT
00:18:36.88\00:18:38.98
DENOMINATIONS. HE'S
CALLING THEM 'MY PEOPLE.'
00:18:38.98\00:18:42.82
YOU REMEMBER IN THE
BIBLE, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE
00:18:42.82\00:18:44.59
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE IN
BABYLON - THEY WERE CAPTURED
00:18:44.59\00:18:48.56
THERE. AND AFTER
70 YEARS OF BEING
00:18:48.56\00:18:52.39
THERE GOD SAYS, 'I'M
ABOUT TO DESTROY BABYLON.
00:18:52.39\00:18:55.60
I'M PROVIDING A WAY WHERE
YOU ARE FREE TO GO AND THE DOORS
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.10
WERE OPENED BY KING CYRUS OF
PERSIA FOR THE PEOPLE TO COME
00:18:58.10\00:19:01.24
OUT OF BABYLON AND GO
BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND.
00:19:01.24\00:19:03.47
BUT THEY HAD GOTTEN SO
COMFORTABLE IN BABYLON AND ALL
00:19:03.47\00:19:06.24
THEIR FRIENDS AND
FAMILY LIVED IN BABYLON.
00:19:06.24\00:19:08.11
THEY LEARNED THE BABYLONIAN
LANGUAGE AND, LET'S FACE IT,
00:19:08.11\00:19:10.31
IT'S HARD TO CHANGE, ISN'T IT?
THE OLDER YOU GET THE MORE THE
00:19:10.31\00:19:13.85
CONCRETE SETS UP - IT'S EVEN
HARDER. BUT GOD SAYS WITH HIM WE
00:19:13.85\00:19:18.52
CAN DO ALL THINGS. HE SAYS,
'COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE.'
00:19:18.52\00:19:21.32
WHY? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
IF WE DON'T COME OUT OF BABYLON?
00:19:21.32\00:19:25.33
'THAT YOU BE NOT PARTAKERS OF
HER SINS AND RECEIVE NOT OF HER
00:19:25.33\00:19:28.73
PLAGUES.' THE PLAGUES - THOSE
SEVEN TERRIBLE PLAGUES THAT YOU
00:19:28.73\00:19:32.70
READ ABOUT IN REVELATION 15
AND 16 - FALL ON BABYLON AND HER
00:19:32.70\00:19:37.31
DAUGHTERS. SO IF WE'RE PART
OF A RELIGIOUS SYSTEM THAT HAS
00:19:37.31\00:19:41.11
DRIFTED FROM THE BIBLE, GOD
IS CALLING HIS SHEEP BACK TO HIS
00:19:41.11\00:19:45.38
FOLD. IN THE LAST DAYS GOD'S
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME FROM
00:19:45.38\00:19:48.12
THE EAST AND THE WEST AND THE
NORTH AND THE SOUTH AND WE'RE
00:19:48.12\00:19:50.42
GOING TO CONSOLIDATE TOGETHER
AGAIN ON BIBLE TRUTH AND THEY'LL
00:19:50.42\00:19:55.32
BE BROUGHT TOGETHER BASED ON
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SCRIPTURE.
00:19:55.32\00:19:59.09
IF THEY SAY, 'WELL, I'M
COMFORTABLE WHERE I'M AT.'
00:19:59.09\00:20:01.20
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW
THE WORD THEY'RE GOING TO REAP
00:20:01.20\00:20:03.20
THE AWFUL CONSEQUENCES OF BEING
IN BABYLON WHEN THE PLAGUES
00:20:03.20\00:20:06.00
FALL. IT
HAPPENED BACK IN THE DAYS
00:20:06.00\00:20:08.57
OF ANCIENT BABYLON -
ROME HAS FALLEN BEFORE.
00:20:08.57\00:20:13.24
IT HAPPENED TO PAGAN ROME.
IN THE LAST DAYS, SPIRITUAL
00:20:13.24\00:20:16.08
BABYLON AND HER DAUGHTERS
ARE GOING TO BE PUNISHED.
00:20:16.08\00:20:20.25
THIRD ANGEL SAYS - HE FOLLOWS
WITH A LOUD VOICE AND HE SAYS,
00:20:20.25\00:20:25.29
"IF ANY MAN WORSHIPS THE BEAST
AND HIS IMAGE AND RECEIVES HIS
00:20:25.29\00:20:28.22
MARK IN HIS FOREHEAD OR HIS
HAND, THE SAME WILL DRINK THE
00:20:28.22\00:20:31.76
WINE OF THE WRATH OF
GOD." IT'S VERY - IT'S THE MOST
00:20:31.76\00:20:34.46
SERIOUS CURSE IN THE BIBLE
ON THOSE WHO STAY IN BABYLON -
00:20:34.46\00:20:38.80
THAT'S POURED
OUT WITHOUT MIXTURE.
00:20:38.80\00:20:40.97
GOD'S CHURCH IN THE LAST
DAYS IS A WORLD-WIDE MOVEMENT.
00:20:40.97\00:20:44.07
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'YEAH,
I'M PART OF GOD'S CHURCH.'
00:20:44.07\00:20:45.44
'WHERE DO YOU GO?'
'I'M PART OF A COMMUNITY
00:20:45.44\00:20:46.84
CHURCH AND WE KIND OF'
- 'WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?'
00:20:46.84\00:20:49.54
'WELL, IT DEPENDS ON
WHAT PASTOR WE HAVE THIS YEAR.
00:20:49.54\00:20:52.45
WE KIND OF CHANGE PASTORS
AND OUR BELIEFS CHANGE A LITTLE
00:20:52.45\00:20:54.55
BIT.' THAT'S NOT SAFE, FRIENDS.
NOW, THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE IN
00:20:54.55\00:20:58.72
EVERY CHURCH AND THERE ARE
HYPOCRITES IN EVERY CHURCH.
00:20:58.72\00:21:03.09
AND LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY
MY CHURCH ALSO HAS SOME KOOKS -
00:21:03.09\00:21:07.20
MATTER OF FACT, WE'VE PROBABLY
GOT MORE THAN OUR SHARE - I'LL
00:21:07.20\00:21:09.56
JUST TELL YOU RIGHT
NOW - EVERY CHURCH DOES.
00:21:09.56\00:21:11.90
AND THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE.
IF YOU WERE THE DEVIL AND THERE
00:21:11.90\00:21:17.81
WAS A CHURCH OUT THERE THAT
WAS CLOSER TO THE BIBLE THAN ANY
00:21:17.81\00:21:21.34
OTHERS, WHO WOULD YOU BE
THE MOST THREATENED BY IF
00:21:21.34\00:21:24.98
YOU WERE THE DEVIL? WHO
IS THE DRAGON WROTH WITH?
00:21:24.98\00:21:28.28
WOULDN'T YOU GO AFTER THE WOMAN?
WOULDN'T YOU PLANT AS MANY
00:21:28.28\00:21:30.79
HYPOCRITES AND COUNTERFEITS
AND SPIES IN THERE TO TRY
00:21:30.79\00:21:35.39
TO DISCOURAGE OTHERS?
YOU'D BE SO THREATENED - BUT
00:21:35.39\00:21:39.03
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
IT'S NOT THE TRUE CHURCH.
00:21:39.03\00:21:40.70
DID JESUS HAVE A
JUDAS IN HIS CHURCH?
00:21:40.70\00:21:44.53
BUT WAS JESUS' TWELVE
APOSTLES - WERE THEY THE TRUTH?
00:21:44.53\00:21:47.84
AND SO THE DEVIL'S ALWAYS HAD
HIS REPRESENTATIVES - DON'T LOOK
00:21:47.84\00:21:49.94
AT THE PEOPLE.
WHAT DOES JESUS TELL US
00:21:49.94\00:21:52.61
TO DO WITH THESE
RESULTS? VERY SIMPLE:
00:21:52.61\00:21:56.18
SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND.
IF WE LOOK IN GOD'S WORD WE
00:21:56.18\00:22:01.55
DON'T HAVE TO JUST FLIP THROUGH
THE YELLOW PAGES AND FIND ONE
00:22:01.55\00:22:04.29
CLOSE TO THE HOUSE OR HAS A NICE
SOUNDING NAME - HEY, YOU KNOW, I
00:22:04.29\00:22:07.46
REALLY LIKE THE NAMES
THAT SOME CHURCHES HAVE.
00:22:07.46\00:22:11.49
I LIKE THE NAME 'CHURCH
OF GOD' - I LIKE THAT NAME.
00:22:11.49\00:22:15.63
I LIKE THE NAME 'LATTER DAY
SAINT' - THAT'S NOT A BAD NAME.
00:22:15.63\00:22:19.57
I WANT TO BE A WITNESS FOR
JEHOVAH - YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
00:22:19.57\00:22:22.40
DON'T YOU WANT TO
BE HIS WITNESS TOO?
00:22:22.40\00:22:24.41
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL WHAT
YOU SAY - SOME PEOPLE TURN ON -
00:22:24.41\00:22:26.04
THEY'RE SURFING THROUGH THE
CHANNELS AND THEY JUST CATCH
00:22:26.04\00:22:27.91
THAT ONE PART AND
THEY KEEP ON GOING BY.
00:22:27.91\00:22:31.41
I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD
NAMES IN DIFFERENT CHURCHES, BUT
00:22:31.41\00:22:36.25
IT'S NOT JUST THE LABEL.
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?
00:22:36.25\00:22:40.22
THAT'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS
IS YOU SEEK IN THE TEACHINGS AND
00:22:40.22\00:22:44.36
THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO
FIND A DISTINCTIVE DIFFERENCE.
00:22:44.36\00:22:46.96
HOW MANY CHURCHES FIT THESE SIX
SPECIFICATIONS THAT WE'VE GIVEN?
00:22:46.96\00:22:50.83
I'VE ACTUALLY
GIVEN YOU MORE THAN THAT.
00:22:50.83\00:22:52.00
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'ONE
LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM.'
00:22:52.00\00:22:57.14
THINK ABOUT THIS FRIENDS, WHEN
JESUS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN HE SAID
00:22:57.14\00:23:01.74
TO HIS DISCIPLES, 'ALL MEN WILL
KNOW YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES BY
00:23:01.74\00:23:06.38
YOUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.'
00:23:06.38\00:23:08.35
HE SAID, 'FATHER' - HE PRAYED
IN JOHN 17 - 'THAT THEY MAY BE
00:23:08.35\00:23:12.29
ONE' - SPEAKING OF HIS PEOPLE
- 'EVEN AS YOU AND I ARE ONE.'
00:23:12.29\00:23:15.36
GOD IS PRAYING FOR HIS
CHURCH TO BE UNITED - TO BE ONE.
00:23:15.36\00:23:19.26
WELL, THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO
GREAT UNITIES IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:23:19.26\00:23:22.46
EVERYBODY HERE IS GOING TO
BE PART OF ONE OR THE OTHER.
00:23:22.46\00:23:24.37
YOU'RE GOING TO BE PART OF
THE GREAT UNITY THAT WILL BE
00:23:24.37\00:23:26.90
PREACHED BY THE BEAST OR YOU
WILL BE PART OF THE UNITY THAT
00:23:26.90\00:23:30.41
WILL GET THE SEAL OF
GOD - GET BACK TO THE BIBLE.
00:23:30.41\00:23:33.88
CHRIST IS GOING TO HAVE A PEOPLE
THAT ARE GOING TO UNITE ON HIS
00:23:33.88\00:23:35.91
WORD. GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO
00:23:35.91\00:23:37.91
SACRIFICE TRUTH
FOR THE SAKE OF UNITY.
00:23:37.91\00:23:41.18
HE WANTS US TO SACRIFICE
OUR PERSONAL PREFERENCES AND
00:23:41.18\00:23:44.92
CRAVINGS AND OUR CONVENIENCE FOR
THE SAKE OF UNITING ON THE WORD.
00:23:44.92\00:23:50.13
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO MAKE THE
00:23:50.13\00:23:52.76
DECISION - BASED ON - 'OH, IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CHURCH YOU
00:23:52.76\00:23:55.43
GO TO PASTOR DOUG, ALL
RIVERS LEAD TO THE OCEAN.
00:23:55.43\00:23:59.20
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE.'
00:23:59.20\00:24:00.90
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE
DEVIL WANTS PEOPLE TO THINK.
00:24:00.90\00:24:03.17
YOU BETTER
BELIEVE IT DOES MATTER.
00:24:03.17\00:24:05.77
THERE'S A LOT OF FALSE TEACHINGS
OUT THERE AND THEY - EVERYONE IS
00:24:05.77\00:24:10.15
AFFECTED IN SOME DEGREE BY THAT.
HOW DOES ONE ENTER THAT BODY?
00:24:10.15\00:24:15.08
IT SAYS THERE'S ONE LORD AND IT
SAYS, 'AND THE LORD ADDED TO THE
00:24:15.08\00:24:19.29
CHURCH DAILY SUCH AS ARE BEING
SAVED THOSE WHO GLADLY RECEIVED
00:24:19.29\00:24:24.59
HIS WORD' - WHAT'S THE
NEXT THING? THEY WERE BAPTIZED.
00:24:24.59\00:24:29.60
IT SAYS THEY RECEIVED IT,
THEY WERE BAPTIZED, AND THAT DAY
00:24:29.60\00:24:33.50
THERE WERE ABOUT
3,000 SOULS ADDED TO THEM.
00:24:33.50\00:24:37.17
THEY WERE ADDED. THEY JOINED.
00:24:37.17\00:24:39.97
YOU WANT TO BE
PART OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:24:39.97\00:24:42.98
YOU MIGHT BE
THINKING, 'OH IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:24:42.98\00:24:45.18
JUST BELIEVE AND YOU CAN KIND OF
BE A ROGUE MAVERICK CHRISTIAN -
00:24:45.18\00:24:48.68
ROAM AROUND AND
DO YOUR OWN THING.'
00:24:48.68\00:24:50.89
DOES THE BIBLE PROVIDE OTHER
EVIDENCE THAT JESUS HAS ONLY ONE
00:24:50.89\00:24:53.62
REMNANT CHURCH THAT HE'LL BE
CALLING HIS PEOPLE INTO IN THE
00:24:53.62\00:24:57.39
LAST DAYS?
CHRIST SAID, 'AS IT WAS
00:24:57.39\00:25:01.23
IN THE DAYS OF' - WHO?
NOAH - 'SO WILL IT BE IN THE
00:25:01.23\00:25:04.57
DAYS OF THE COMING
OF THE SON OF MAN.'
00:25:04.57\00:25:06.97
IN THE DAY WHEN GOD WASHED THE
WORLD WITH WATER HOW MANY WAYS
00:25:06.97\00:25:11.24
OF ESCAPE WERE
THERE? THERE WAS ONE.
00:25:11.24\00:25:14.78
A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY TOLD
NOAH, THEY SAID, 'HEY NOAH, YOU
00:25:14.78\00:25:16.75
KNOW I THINK IT PROBABLY IS
GOING TO RAIN ONE OF THESE DAYS
00:25:16.75\00:25:19.28
AND I'LL JUST START BUILDING
A BOAT WHEN THE CLOUDS GATHER.
00:25:19.28\00:25:22.18
I'LL BUILD MY OWN BOAT.'
THOSE PEOPLE THAT PLANNED ON
00:25:22.18\00:25:25.02
BUILDING THEIR OWN
BOATS, DID THEY EVER HAVE TIME?
00:25:25.02\00:25:28.26
THE DOOR OF THE ARK WAS
CLOSED BEFORE THE RAIN CAME.
00:25:28.26\00:25:31.46
YOU NEEDED TO GET ON
BOARD BEFORE YOU SAW THE CLOUDS.
00:25:31.46\00:25:35.20
FRIENDS, THOSE CLOUDS
ARE GOING TO GATHER SOON.
00:25:35.20\00:25:37.37
WE NEED TO GET ON BOARD.
00:25:37.37\00:25:43.24
>>WE SEE PEOPLE AROUND US
EVERY DAY - ON TV, THE RADIO,
00:25:43.24\00:25:46.64
THE INTERNET - ALL PROCLAIMING
THEY HAVE FOUND THE TRUTH.
00:25:46.64\00:25:50.61
EVEN IF YOU NARROW THE CHOICES
DOWN JUST TO CHRISTIANITY, THERE
00:25:50.61\00:25:54.38
ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS
OF DIFFERENT CHURCHES AND
00:25:54.38\00:25:56.72
DENOMINATIONS ALL
CLAIMING TO BE THAT SPECIAL ONE.
00:25:56.72\00:26:00.36
EACH CARRIES THEIR OWN SPIN ON
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION, FAITH,
00:26:00.36\00:26:04.16
AND PRACTICE. HOW CAN
WE FIND THE TRUE CHURCH?
00:26:04.16\00:26:07.60
SHOULD WE JUST LIST ALL THE
CHURCHES ON A BOARD AND THROW
00:26:07.60\00:26:10.20
