'I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.
I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE
00:01:15.90\00:01:18.37
OTHER SIDE.' AS A CHRISTIAN
YOU OUGHT TO RUN THE OTHER
00:01:18.41\00:01:20.68
DIRECTION. IT'S
CALLED 'SPIRITISM'.

00:01:37.96\00:01:45.63
>>YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, IN THE LAST
DAYS, JESUS IS VERY CLEAR - IN
00:01:45.67\00:01:49.80
MATTHEW CHAPTER 24, VERSE 24 HE
WARNS US THAT THE DECEPTIONS ARE
00:01:49.84\00:01:55.01
GOING TO BE SO COMPELLING THAT
IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, EVEN THE
00:01:55.04\00:01:58.71
VERY ELECT WOULD BE DECEIVED.
THAT MEANS EVEN PROFESSED
00:01:58.75\00:02:01.82
CHRISTIANS WOULD BE DECEIVED.
AND SO THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS
00:02:01.85\00:02:06.29
WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE.
THE DEVIL IS A MASTER DECEIVER.
00:02:06.32\00:02:10.73
NOW THE BIBLE'S VERY CLEAR THAT
NECROMANCY - THAT'S THE PRACTICE
00:02:10.76\00:02:15.46
OR ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THE DEAD - IS SOMETHING
00:02:15.50\00:02:17.90
THAT IS FORBIDDEN.
INTERESTING - OH, SOMEONE DID A
00:02:17.93\00:02:21.57
SURVEY BACK IN 1977 AND
ABOUT 35% OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANS
00:02:21.60\00:02:28.14
BELIEVED THAT YOU COULD
COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD.
00:02:28.18\00:02:30.55
ACTUALLY, IT WAS
JUST ANY AMERICANS.
00:02:30.58\00:02:32.81
THEN, BY THE TIME YOU GOT
TO 1983 THERE WAS ANOTHER STUDY
00:02:32.85\00:02:35.85
THAT WAS DONE AND IT HAD GONE
UP ANOTHER 15% AND ABOUT 42% OF
00:02:35.88\00:02:41.89
AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT YOU
CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD.
00:02:41.92\00:02:45.33
WHAT'S REALLY SAD NOW IS, WHILE
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN FORBIDDEN IN
00:02:45.36\00:02:49.00
SCRIPTURE FOR CHRISTIANS TO TRY
TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD,
00:02:49.03\00:02:52.60
NOW THERE'S A NEW FORM
OF NECROMANCY THAT IS BEING
00:02:52.63\00:02:55.70
BAPTIZED AND EMBRACED
BY CHRISTIANS. YOU CAN SEE
00:02:55.74\00:03:00.24
THAT PEOPLE ARE SORT OF
PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PARANORMAL.
00:03:00.28\00:03:03.88
JUST TO GIVE YOU A FEW
EXAMPLES: DR. EBEN ALEXANDER, A
00:03:03.91\00:03:08.02
NEUROSURGEON WHO, IRONICALLY,
NEVER REALLY BELIEVED IN
00:03:08.05\00:03:10.79
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES UNTIL
HE FELL INTO A COMA, AND THEN HE
00:03:10.82\00:03:14.56
DETAILS, IN HIS BOOK 'PROOF
OF HEAVEN: A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE
00:03:14.59\00:03:18.99
WITH THE AFTERLIFE' ABOUT HIS
BEING TAKEN OFF TO HEAVEN AND
00:03:19.03\00:03:23.26
HAVING A CHANGE OF HEART AND
SEEING THINGS AND PEOPLE THERE.
00:03:23.30\00:03:27.14
AND THERE'S
SOMEONE NAMED DON PIPER.
00:03:27.17\00:03:29.10
HE WROTE A BOOK - DIED IN A
TRAFFIC ACCIDENT - HEAD ON -
00:03:29.14\00:03:33.01
STRUCK BY AN 18-WHEELER
- A MINISTER, I SHOULD ADD.
00:03:33.04\00:03:38.18
A PASTOR STOPPED AND PRAYED
OVER HIS BODY WHEN HE HAD BEEN
00:03:38.21\00:03:41.68
DECLARED DEAD AND HE SAYS FOR 90
MINUTES HE WAS IN HEAVEN AND HE
00:03:41.72\00:03:45.39
WROTE A BEST-SELLING - NEW YORK
TIMES BEST-SELLING BOOK ON THAT
00:03:45.42\00:03:48.29
AND TALKED ABOUT SEEING
RELATIVES UP THERE AND TALKING
00:03:48.32\00:03:51.43
WITH THEM. AND THEN HE WENT
ON AND ENDORSED THIS LATEST BOOK
00:03:51.46\00:03:56.16
THAT'S BECOME VERY
POPULAR, 'HEAVEN IS FOR REAL'.
00:03:56.20\00:03:59.17
IT'S A 2010 NEW YORK TIMES
BEST-SELLING BOOK ABOUT A LITTLE
00:03:59.20\00:04:03.64
BOY'S ASTOUNDING STORY OF
HIS TRIP TO HEAVEN AND BACK -
00:04:03.67\00:04:08.08
WRITTEN BY, AGAIN, A
PASTOR - TODD BURPO - ABOUT HIS
00:04:08.11\00:04:11.21
4-YEAR-OLD SON COLTON,
WHO EXPERIENCED ONE OF THESE
00:04:11.25\00:04:14.68
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
DURING EMERGENCY SURGERY.
00:04:14.72\00:04:18.12
HE OSTENSIBLY DIED AND HE WAS
TAKEN OFF INTO HEAVEN AND HE SAW
00:04:18.15\00:04:23.46
GRANDPA AND GRANDMA AND HE SAW A
BABY SISTER THAT WAS MISCARRIED
00:04:23.49\00:04:27.66
BY HIS MOTHER AND HE TALKED
TO JESUS AND HE DESCRIBED WHAT
00:04:27.73\00:04:31.57
HEAVEN WAS LIKE. OF COURSE,
HIS FATHER WAS A MINISTER
00:04:31.60\00:04:35.24
AND HE GREW UP WITH THIS
KNOWLEDGE OF CHRISTIAN THINGS.
00:04:35.27\00:04:39.47
AND NOW THEY'RE MAKING A
MOVIE ABOUT IT AND EVERYBODY'S
00:04:39.51\00:04:42.84
PROBABLY GOING TO
THINK THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL.
00:04:42.88\00:04:45.35
I DON'T DOUBT THE
SINCERITY OF THESE PEOPLE.
00:04:45.38\00:04:47.88
I DON'T DOUBT THAT THEY
HAD SOME KIND OF EXPERIENCE.
00:04:47.92\00:04:50.75
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE VERY
CAREFUL NOT TO SAY WE'RE GOING
00:04:50.79\00:04:53.39
TO BASE TRUTH ON WHAT SOMEBODY
EXPERIENCES WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY
00:04:53.42\00:04:57.99
DIE ON AN OPERATING TABLE OR
THEY SLIP INTO A COMA BECAUSE
00:04:58.03\00:05:02.53
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS THAT CAN AFFECT THAT.
00:05:02.56\00:05:04.47
FIRST WE WANT TO BASE IT ON
'WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT
00:05:04.50\00:05:08.00
COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEAD?'
ISAIAH 8:19, "AND WHEN THEY SAY
00:05:08.04\00:05:13.07
TO YOU, 'SEEK THOSE WHO ARE
MEDIUMS AND WIZARDS, WHO WHISPER
00:05:13.11\00:05:16.44
AND MUTTER,' SHOULD NOT
A PEOPLE SEEK THEIR GOD?
00:05:16.48\00:05:19.95
SHOULD THEY SEEK THE
DEAD ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING?
00:05:19.98\00:05:22.25
TO THE LAW AND THE TESTIMONY!
IF THEY DO NOT SPEAK ACCORDING
00:05:22.28\00:05:25.25
TO THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE
THERE IS NOT LIGHT IN THEM."
00:05:25.29\00:05:30.69
AND SO IF A PERSON SAYS, 'YOU
KNOW, I DIED ON THE OPERATING
00:05:30.73\00:05:34.10
TABLE AND I WAS TALKING TO
GRANDMA IN HEAVEN AND SHE GAVE
00:05:34.10\00:05:36.70
ME A MESSAGE.' I DON'T DOUBT
A PERSON CAN HAVE A DREAM, BUT
00:05:36.73\00:05:41.20
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY
A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.
00:05:41.24\00:05:43.91
DREAMS CAN COME FROM GOD.
DREAMS CAN COME FROM THE DEVIL.
00:05:43.94\00:05:47.31
AND SO WE NEED TO BE VERY
CAREFUL ABOUT THIS SORT OF
00:05:47.34\00:05:49.64
THING. LEVITICUS
19:31, "GIVE NO REGARD
00:05:49.68\00:05:53.82
TO MEDIUMS AND FAMILIAR SPIRITS;
DO NOT SEEK AFTER THEM, TO BE
00:05:53.85\00:05:58.62
DEFILED BY THEM: I
AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:05:58.65\00:06:01.02
MEDIUMS WOULD SAY, 'WE'VE GOT A
MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.' SO THIS
00:06:01.06\00:06:04.56
IS SORT OF A NEW BAPTIZED
- OR SANCTIFIED - VERSION OF
00:06:04.59\00:06:08.76
NECROMANCY, WHEN CHRISTIANS
SAY, 'I HAD AN EXPERIENCE.
00:06:08.80\00:06:12.80
I WENT TO HEAVEN AND I HAVE
A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.' YOU
00:06:12.83\00:06:15.84
KNOW, THERE'S NO EXAMPLE
ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE OF SOMEONE
00:06:15.87\00:06:18.81
GETTING A MESSAGE - A CHRISTIAN
- A BELIEVER - OF GETTING A
00:06:18.84\00:06:22.34
MESSAGE FROM
SOMEBODY WHO HAD DIED.
00:06:22.38\00:06:24.91
IT ONLY HAPPENS WITH KING
SAUL WHEN HE CONSULTS A WITCH.
00:06:24.95\00:06:28.22
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DIED THAT
COMMUNICATED WITH SOMEONE LIVING
00:06:28.25\00:06:31.55
IS WHEN MOSES AND ELIJAH
APPEARED TO JESUS ON THE MOUNT
00:06:31.59\00:06:35.09
OF TRANSFIGURATION. WE
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SAID.
00:06:35.12\00:06:38.16
IT SAYS THEY TALKED TO HIM ABOUT
HIS SACRIFICE BUT THEY DIDN'T
00:06:38.19\00:06:42.96
COMMUNICATE WITH
PETER, JAMES AND JOHN.
00:06:43.00\00:06:45.23
JESUS, WHO WAS GLORIFIED, HE
ENTERED INTO THIS STATE AND THEY
00:06:45.27\00:06:49.14
TALKED TO HIM. SO
THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE ARE
00:06:49.17\00:06:51.71
GETTING MESSAGES FROM THOSE
THAT ARE DEAD - AND WE KNOW WHY
00:06:51.74\00:06:55.11
ELIJAH WAS
THERE - HE DIDN'T DIE.
00:06:55.14\00:06:57.31
HE WENT TO HEAVEN IN A FIERY
CHARIOT. AND THE BOOK OF JUDE
00:06:57.35\00:06:59.88
SAYS MOSES WAS RESURRECTED
BY JESUS AFTER HE DIED.
00:06:59.91\00:07:04.92
DEUTERONOMY 18:10-12, "THERE
SHALL NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU
00:07:04.95\00:07:08.32
ANYONE WHO MAKES HIS SON OR HIS
DAUGHTER PASS THROUGH THE FIRE,
00:07:08.36\00:07:12.06
OR ONE WHO PRACTICES WITCHCRAFT,
OR A SOOTHSAYER, OR ONE WHO
00:07:12.09\00:07:16.50
INTERPRETS OMENS, OR A SORCERER,
OR ONE WHO CONJURES SPELLS, OR A
00:07:16.53\00:07:20.84
MEDIUM," - THAT'S NECROMANCY -
"OR A SPIRITIST," - SOMEONE WHO
00:07:20.87\00:07:25.74
CONSULTS WITH THE
SPIRITS OF THE DEAD -
00:07:25.77\00:07:28.14
"OR ONE WHO CALLS UP THE DEAD.
FOR ALL WHO DO THESE THINGS ARE
00:07:28.18\00:07:32.28
AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD, AND
BECAUSE OF THESE ABOMINATIONS
00:07:32.31\00:07:35.52
THE LORD YOUR GOD DRIVES
THEM OUT FROM BEFORE YOU."
00:07:35.55\00:07:39.05
SO, HERE'S A QUESTION: DO
THE DEAD COMMUNICATE WITH THE
00:07:39.09\00:07:42.22
LIVING, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE?
I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A FEW VERSES:
00:07:42.26\00:07:46.16
JOB 14:21, SPEAKING OF A MAN WHO
DIES IT SAYS, "HIS SONS COME TO
00:07:46.19\00:07:51.37
HONOR AND HE DOES NOT KNOW IT."
SO A MAN DIES - DOES HE GO TO
00:07:51.40\00:07:56.44
HEAVEN AND LOOK DOWN AND
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING ON EARTH?
00:07:56.47\00:07:58.81
HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HIS SONS COME
TO HONOR - "THEY ARE BROUGHT LOW
00:07:58.84\00:08:02.14
AND HE DOES NOT PERCEIVE
IT." - THINK ABOUT IT ANYWAY.
00:08:02.18\00:08:05.28
WOULD YOUR RELATIVES, IF THEY
WENT TO HEAVEN AND THEY COULD
00:08:05.31\00:08:07.98
LOOK DOWN AND SEE WHAT WAS
HAPPENING HERE ON EARTH - A
00:08:08.02\00:08:11.59
MOTHER HAD A BUNCH OF KIDS
AND GRAND-KIDS AND SEE ALL THE
00:08:11.62\00:08:14.29
TRIALS AND THE TROUBLE AND THE
TEMPTATION AND THE FAILURES AND
00:08:14.32\00:08:17.16
THE PAIN - WOULD THEY BE
ENJOYING HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN AT
00:08:17.19\00:08:20.66
ALL OF THAT HAPPENING? NO.
00:08:20.70\00:08:24.07
THE BIBLE TELLS US
THAT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
00:08:24.10\00:08:26.63
JESUS SAID THAT NO ONE HAS
ASCENDED - NOW THIS IS THE FINAL
00:08:26.67\00:08:29.74
WORD FOR ME - NOT THAT I'M
DONE - BUT THIS IS, I THINK,
00:08:29.77\00:08:32.67
PRETTY IMPORTANT. "NO
ONE HAS ASCENDED TO HEAVEN
00:08:32.71\00:08:36.11
BUT HE WHO CAME
DOWN FROM HEAVEN."
00:08:36.14\00:08:38.18
NOBODY CAME - WENT UP TO
HEAVEN AND CAME BACK DOWN WITH A
00:08:38.21\00:08:40.42
MESSAGE EXCEPT JESUS.
JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAME
00:08:40.45\00:08:43.82
FROM THE FATHER WITH A MESSAGE
FOR EARTH. SO WHAT'S HAPPENING
00:08:43.85\00:08:47.62
WHEN PEOPLE HAVE THESE
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES?
00:08:47.66\00:08:52.13
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT BETWEEN
10% TO 25% OF HEART ATTACK
00:08:52.16\00:08:55.56
SURVIVORS, THEY REPORT
HAVING NDES - OR 'NEAR-DEATH
00:08:55.60\00:08:59.33
EXPERIENCES' -
SO IT'S VERY COMMON.
00:08:59.37\00:09:02.67
BRITISH RESEARCHER, SUSAN
BLACKMORE, AUTHOR OF 'DYING TO
00:09:02.70\00:09:05.17
LIVE: NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES'
NOTES THAT MANY OF THESE NDES
00:09:05.21\00:09:08.84
SUCH AS EUPHORIA AND THE FEELING
OF MOVING TOWARDS THE LIGHT ARE,
00:09:08.88\00:09:12.85
IN FACT, TYPICAL
SYMPTOMS OF OXYGEN DEPRIVATION.
00:09:12.88\00:09:18.05
THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY TO
PEOPLE WHO HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
00:09:18.09\00:09:22.26
IN ONE EXPERIMENT, DR. LADISLAS
MEDUNA ADMINISTERED 30% CARBON
00:09:22.29\00:09:26.90
DIOXIDE AND 70%
OXYGEN TO A SUBJECT.
00:09:26.93\00:09:29.83
AFTERWARD, THE SUBJECT STATED,
'I FELT LIKE I WAS LOOKING DOWN
00:09:29.86\00:09:33.37
AT MYSELF AS THOUGH I
WAS OUT THERE IN SPACE.
00:09:33.40\00:09:36.71
I FELT SORT OF SEPARATED.' IT'S
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE INDUCED.
00:09:36.74\00:09:40.74
AND I'M SURE IT FEELS VERY REAL
TO THEM, BUT WE DON'T BASE OUR
00:09:40.78\00:09:44.41
THEOLOGY ON THAT.
SOMEONE ELSE DID SOME STUDIES -
00:09:44.45\00:09:48.15
'ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TO THE
RIGHT TEMPORAL LOBE OF THE BRAIN
00:09:48.18\00:09:51.69
HAS BEEN SHOWN TO RELIABLY
INDUCE THE SAME DISASSOCIATION
00:09:51.72\00:09:56.06
FOUND IN NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
AND OBES - OR 'OUT OF BODY
00:09:56.09\00:10:00.30
EXPERIENCES'. OTHER
ELEMENTS OF NEAR-DEATH
00:10:00.33\00:10:02.56
EXPERIENCES CAN BE
REPRODUCED WITH ANESTHETICS.
00:10:02.60\00:10:06.37
AND SO THAT'S WHY SUCH A HIGH
PERCENTAGE OF THESE PEOPLE THAT
00:10:06.40\00:10:09.24
DIE ON THE OPERATING TABLE ARE
SAYING, 'I HAD A DREAM.' HERE'S
00:10:09.27\00:10:12.27
WHAT YOU NEED TO PAY CAREFUL
ATTENTION TO: THESE NEAR-DEATH
00:10:12.31\00:10:16.14
EXPERIENCES THAT I JUST TALKED
TO YOU ABOUT - DON PIPER AND
00:10:16.18\00:10:19.61
TODD BURPO AND COLTON AND
THE DOCTOR - THEY ALL LIVE IN
00:10:19.65\00:10:24.05
AMERICA IN A CONTEXT OF
CHRISTIANITY AND SO THEY HAVE
00:10:24.09\00:10:26.96
THESE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES
IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RELIGION
00:10:26.99\00:10:29.99
THEY'VE GROWN UP IN.
GUESS WHO THEY SEE IN INDIA WHEN
00:10:30.03\00:10:33.96
THEY HAVE A
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE. KRISHNA.
00:10:34.00\00:10:37.53
AND IF YOU GO TO A
BUDDHIST COUNTRY AND THEY HAVE A
00:10:37.57\00:10:39.30
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE,
WHO DO THEY SEE? BUDDHA.
00:10:39.33\00:10:43.24
SO ARE WE GOING TO BASE OUR
THEOLOGY ON PEOPLE'S NEAR-DEATH
00:10:43.27\00:10:46.11
EXPERIENCES FROM
WHATEVER COUNTRY THEY'RE IN?
00:10:46.14\00:10:49.48
COULD IT BE THE DEVIL CAN
EXPLOIT THESE EXPERIENCES?
00:10:49.51\00:10:53.58
FOLLOW ME. ARE
THE DEAD CONSCIOUS,
00:10:53.62\00:10:56.72
BIBLICALLY? DO
THEY KNOW ANYTHING?
00:10:56.75\00:10:58.95
PSALM 115, VERSE 17 - NOW,
LET ME MAKE IT VERY CLEAR -
00:10:58.99\00:11:02.56
I DO BELIEVE IN HEAVEN.
I WANT TO GO THERE SOMEDAY.
00:11:02.59\00:11:05.36
I THINK IT'S
REAL. I DON'T DENY THAT.
00:11:05.39\00:11:08.06
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE PEOPLE GO
RIGHT FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN WHEN
00:11:08.10\00:11:11.10
THEY DIE - BEFORE THE
RESURRECTION AND BEFORE THE
00:11:11.13\00:11:13.20
JUDGMENT. THE
BIBLE'S VERY CLEAR ABOUT
00:11:13.23\00:11:15.87
WHEN THIS ALL TAKES PLACE
AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET.
00:11:15.90\00:11:18.84
YES, ENOCH'S IN HEAVEN, ELIJAH'S
IN HEAVEN, MOSES IS IN HEAVEN.
00:11:18.87\00:11:21.78
THERE ARE SOME WHO WENT TO
HEAVEN THAT JESUS ROSE AT THE
00:11:21.81\00:11:24.08
END OF MATTHEW 27 IN A SPECIAL
RESURRECTION, BUT THE VAST
00:11:24.11\00:11:28.55
MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE
STILL SLEEPING IN THEIR GRAVES.
00:11:28.58\00:11:31.29
'OH, BUT PASTOR DOUG, THE BIBLE
SAYS, 'TO BE ABSENT FROM THE
00:11:31.32\00:11:34.32
BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH
THE LORD.'' YES, THAT'S TRUE FOR
00:11:34.36\00:11:37.23
THEM. WHEN A PERSON DIES IN
A SAVED CONDITION, THEIR NEXT
00:11:37.26\00:11:40.83
CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IS
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
00:11:40.86\00:11:43.57
THEY HAVE NO CONSCIOUSNESS OF
TIME, BUT THEY'RE NOT THERE YET.
00:11:43.60\00:11:46.47
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT, BECAUSE IF SOMEONE COMES
00:11:46.50\00:11:49.00
TO YOU SAYING, 'I'VE
GOT A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN.
00:11:49.04\00:11:51.01
I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE
OTHER SIDE.' AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU
00:11:51.04\00:11:53.78
OUGHT TO RUN
THE OTHER DIRECTION.
00:11:53.81\00:11:55.04
IT'S CALLED 'SPIRITISM'.
LET ME GIVE YOU THOSE VERSES:
00:11:55.08\00:11:58.05
PSALM 115:17, "THE
DEAD PRAISE NOT THE LORD."
00:11:58.08\00:12:02.18
FIRST THING I'D DO IF I DIED AND
WENT RIGHT TO HEAVEN IS PRAISE
00:12:02.22\00:12:04.29
THE LORD. BUT
DAVID SAID THEY DO NOT
00:12:04.32\00:12:06.09
PRAISE THE LORD. PETER
SAID, IN ACTS CHAPTER 2,
00:12:06.12\00:12:09.36
'DAVID IS DEAD AND BURIED
AND NOT ASCENDED TO HEAVEN.' IT
00:12:09.39\00:12:12.83
CAN'T BE ANY MORE CLEAR BECAUSE,
YOU'D THINK DAVID WOULD MAKE IT.
00:12:12.86\00:12:16.83
PSALM 6:5, "FOR IN DEATH THERE
IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF THEE."
00:12:16.87\00:12:20.87
PSALM 146, VERSE 2-4, "WHILE
I LIVE I WILL PRAISE THE LORD: I
00:12:20.90\00:12:25.24
WILL SING PRAISES UNTO MY
GOD WHILE I HAVE ANY BEING."
00:12:25.27\00:12:27.81
- WHILE I'M ALIVE - "PUT NOT
YOUR TRUST IN PRINCES, NOR IN
00:12:27.84\00:12:30.85
THE SON OF MAN, IN
WHOM THERE IS NO HELP.
00:12:30.88\00:12:32.65
HIS BREATH GOETH FORTH, HE
RETURNETH TO HIS EARTH; IN THAT
00:12:32.68\00:12:36.72
VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH."
HE'S NOT UP WALKING AROUND
00:12:36.75\00:12:40.19
HEAVEN AND SENDING
MESSAGES TO YOU HERE ON EARTH.
00:12:40.22\00:12:43.79
'OH, BUT PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW,
I SENSE MY HUSBAND'S PRESENCE.
00:12:43.83\00:12:47.50
WE WERE MARRIED 50
YEARS AND HE DIED AND I -
00:12:47.56\00:12:50.20
I JUST HEARD HIM SPEAKING TO ME.
I FELT, AT THE FUNERAL, HE WAS
00:12:50.23\00:12:53.87
LOOKING DOWN ON ME.' IT'S NOT
UNUSUAL FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE THESE
00:12:53.90\00:12:57.11
EXPERIENCES. YOU'RE
MARRIED TO ANYBODY THAT
00:12:57.14\00:12:59.34
LONG - MY BROTHER DIED AND FOR
32 YEARS HE WAS ALWAYS THERE IN
00:12:59.37\00:13:07.32
MY LIFE. I HAD AUTO
DIAL - I COULD ALWAYS
00:13:07.35\00:13:09.18
TALK TO MY BROTHER.
I SENSED HIS PRESENCE.
00:13:09.22\00:13:11.22
AND WHEN HE DIED,
SOMETIMES I FELT HE WAS NEAR.
00:13:11.25\00:13:15.42
IT'S JUST BECAUSE I HAD SO
MANY MEMORIES IN MY MIND OF MY
00:13:15.46\00:13:19.29
BROTHER - THAT'S PERFECTLY
NORMAL - BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
00:13:19.33\00:13:22.16
THAT MY BROTHER'S DISEMBODIED
SPIRIT WAS FLOATING AROUND MY
00:13:22.20\00:13:24.70
HOUSE OR THAT HE'S
SPEAKING TO ME FROM HEAVEN.
00:13:24.73\00:13:27.44
I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.
AND SO, I'M NOT TRYING TO TAKE
00:13:27.47\00:13:30.77
AWAY FROM PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES,
BUT YOU DON'T BASE TRUTH UPON
00:13:30.81\00:13:33.84
THAT. ISAIAH 38:18, "...DEATH
CAN-NOT CELEBRATE THEE."
00:13:33.88\00:13:39.15
ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSES 5 AND 6,
"FOR THE LIVING KNOW THAT THEY
00:13:39.18\00:13:42.68
WILL DIE; BUT THE DEAD" - DO
YOU KNOW THE REST OF THAT VERSE?
00:13:42.72\00:13:45.99
THEY - "KNOW
NOTHING." HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW?
00:13:46.02\00:13:49.26
THE DEAD DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
SO IF YOU SAY, 'I WAS IN HEAVEN
00:13:49.29\00:13:51.39
AND I SAW GRANDMA' OR 'GRANDPA'
OR 'MY LITTLE SISTER' OR
00:13:51.43\00:13:53.90
SOMETHING, THEY
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
00:13:53.93\00:13:55.66
THEY'RE SLEEPING.
SO WHO SPOKE TO YOU?
00:13:55.70\00:13:59.03
WELL MAYBE THAT
LITTLE BOY HAD A DREAM.
00:13:59.07\00:14:02.20
'WELL, HE KNEW THINGS
HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN.
00:14:02.24\00:14:06.01
DID THE DEVIL KNOW THOSE THINGS?
DID THE DEVIL KNOW WHAT HIS
00:14:06.04\00:14:08.71
GRANDPA LOOKED LIKE?
DID THE DEVIL KNOW ABOUT THE
00:14:08.74\00:14:10.91
LITTLE SISTER? DOES
THE - SURE THE DEVIL KNOWS.
00:14:10.95\00:14:14.12
THE DEVIL CAN GIVE
INFORMATION TO HIS PROPHETS.
00:14:14.15\00:14:18.12
HE CAN SPEAK THROUGH DREAMS.
AND EVEN THOSE WHO BECOME
00:14:18.15\00:14:21.66
MEDIUMS - YOU
KNOW WHAT A MEDIUM IS?
00:14:21.69\00:14:24.33
THE PERSON WHO IS IN THE
MIDDLE - THEY ARE THE GO-BETWEEN
00:14:24.36\00:14:27.20
BETWEEN THE REAL
WORLD AND THE SPIRIT WORLD.
00:14:27.23\00:14:29.63
AND EVEN IF IT'S A CUTE
LITTLE BOY WHO SAYS, 'I'VE GOT A
00:14:29.66\00:14:33.17
MESSAGE FROM BEYOND' - HE
IS THE MEDIUM FOR THE MESSAGE.
00:14:33.20\00:14:37.87
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE
SHOULD NOT GET INFORMATION ABOUT
00:14:37.91\00:14:40.41
DEATH OR HEAVEN
OR HELL FROM MEDIUMS.
00:14:40.44\00:14:44.41
WE GET IT FROM THE WORD, AMEN?
'THE LIVING KNOW THEY'LL DIE.
00:14:44.45\00:14:47.78
THE DEAD DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.'
"ALSO THEIR LOVE, THEIR HATRED,
00:14:47.82\00:14:52.39
AND THEIR ENVY HAVE NOW
PERISHED; NEVERMORE WILL THEY
00:14:52.42\00:14:55.06
HAVE A SHARE IN ANYTHING
THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN."
00:14:55.09\00:14:58.96
AND YOU CAN GO TO - YOU CAN READ
IN VERSE 10 - IT SAYS IN VERSE
00:14:58.99\00:15:03.00
10, "WHATEVER YOUR HAND FINDS TO
DO, DO IT WITH YOUR MIGHT; FOR
00:15:03.03\00:15:07.27
THERE IS NO WORK OR DEVICE OR
KNOWLEDGE OR WISDOM IN THE GRAVE
00:15:07.30\00:15:11.34
WHERE YOU ARE GOING."
SO WHERE DO THE DEAD GO?
00:15:11.37\00:15:15.38
JOB 17:3 - WHEN THEY DIE - "IF I
WAIT, THE GRAVE IS MINE HOUSE."
00:15:15.41\00:15:20.58
WHERE DO THE DEAD
WAIT? IN THE GRAVE.
00:15:20.62\00:15:23.49
YOU CAN READ JOB 21:32,
"YET SHALL HE BE BROUGHT TO THE
00:15:23.52\00:15:26.86
GRAVE, AND SHALL
REMAIN IN THE TOMB."
00:15:26.89\00:15:29.16
WHERE DO THEY STAY UNTIL
THE RESURRECTION? IN THE TOMB.
00:15:29.19\00:15:32.96
THEY'RE NOT ROAMING AROUND LIKE
EBENEZER SCROOGE GOING INTO THE
00:15:32.99\00:15:37.30
PAST AND THE
PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.
00:15:37.33\00:15:39.67
2 PETER 2:9, "THEN THE LORD
KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY
00:15:39.70\00:15:42.64
OUT OF TEMPTATIONS AND
TO RESERVE THE UNJUST UNDER
00:15:42.67\00:15:46.84
PUNISHMENT FOR THE DAY OF
JUDGMENT," - THEY DON'T GET
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.41
PUNISHED. THEY
DON'T GET REWARDED -
00:15:49.44\00:15:50.98
UNTIL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
IT'D BE KIND OF STRANGE TO JUDGE
00:15:51.01\00:15:54.12
THEM AND SAY - PULL THEM
OUT OF HEAVEN TO JUDGE THEM.
00:15:54.15\00:15:57.59
BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT STORY
IN THE BIBLE WHERE KING SAUL,
00:15:57.62\00:16:02.59
HE SAW THIS
APPARITION OF SAMUEL?
00:16:02.62\00:16:05.66
YOU'LL FIND THAT IN THE BIBLE
IN 1 SAMUEL 28, VERSES 3-20.
00:16:05.69\00:16:11.83
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ
THE WHOLE THING, BUT JUST VERY
00:16:11.87\00:16:14.80
QUICKLY - IT TELLS US THAT
KING SAUL WAS DREADFULLY AFRAID
00:16:14.84\00:16:19.94
BECAUSE THE PHILISTINES HAD
AMASSED AN INCREDIBLY LARGE ARMY
00:16:19.97\00:16:23.71
AGAINST ISRAEL AND HE TRIED TO
TALK TO THE PROPHETS AND THERE
00:16:23.75\00:16:27.32
WAS NO MESSAGE FROM THE PROPHETS
AND THE PRIESTS HAD NO MESSAGE
00:16:27.35\00:16:30.12
FROM GOD AND HE DID EVERYTHING
HE COULD TO GET SOME GUIDANCE
00:16:30.15\00:16:33.96
BUT SAUL HAD PRETTY MUCH GRIEVED
AWAY THE HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE OF
00:16:33.99\00:16:37.29
HIS REBELLION AND
PRIDE AGAINST GOD.
00:16:37.33\00:16:39.53
SO IN DESPERATION TO GET SOME
GUIDANCE HE SAID, 'FIND A WITCH
00:16:39.56\00:16:44.30
FOR ME - A MEDIUM. IF I
COULD ONLY HEAR FROM SAMUEL
00:16:44.33\00:16:47.77
THE PROPHET I'D FEEL A
LOT BETTER.' SAMUEL WAS DEAD.
00:16:47.80\00:16:52.04
AND SO THEY GOT OUT THEIR LITTLE
BLACK BOOK AND THEY FOUND A
00:16:52.07\00:16:56.04
WITCH THAT WAS STILL ALIVE IN A
PLACE CALLED ENDOR - ENDOR - THE
00:16:56.08\00:17:00.52
NAME SOUND OMINOUS IN ITSELF.
AND SO HE WENT TO THIS WITCH AND
00:17:00.55\00:17:06.25
SHE WENT THROUGH HER
INCANTATIONS AND SHE CONJURED UP
00:17:06.29\00:17:08.86
THIS APPARITION THAT CLAIMED
TO BE THE PROPHET SAMUEL.
00:17:08.89\00:17:13.40
AND THIS GHOST OR
WHATEVER IT WAS SAID,
00:17:13.43\00:17:16.10
'WHY HAVE YOU DISQUIETED
ME AND BROUGHT ME UP?' -
00:17:16.13\00:17:19.17
SAMUEL THE PROPHET COMING UP?
00:17:19.20\00:17:21.67
DOES THE DEVIL HAVE
THE POWER TO RESURRECT?
00:17:21.70\00:17:24.47
SHE WENT THROUGH EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENS AT A MODERN SÉANCE AND,
00:17:24.51\00:17:28.01
YES, SAMUEL GAVE A MESSAGE -
THIS GHOST THAT CLAIMED TO BE
00:17:28.04\00:17:31.35
SAMUEL - IT WAS NOT SAMUEL -
A TOTALLY DISCOURAGING, HOPELESS
00:17:31.38\00:17:35.15
MESSAGE THAT FORETOLD THAT SAUL
AND HIS SONS WOULD BE DEAD THE
00:17:35.18\00:17:38.55
NEXT DAY. YOU KNOW,
EVEN WEATHERMEN GET IT
00:17:38.59\00:17:42.16
RIGHT SOMETIMES. THE
DEVIL KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO
00:17:42.19\00:17:43.99
HAPPEN IN THAT
BATTLE, ESPECIALLY IF HE COULD
00:17:44.03\00:17:45.89
DISCOURAGE SAUL. SO
SOME PEOPLE WONDER IF 'WELL,
00:17:45.93\00:17:48.73
MAYBE THIS WAS REALLY
SAMUEL.' NO, IT WASN'T.
00:17:48.76\00:17:51.40
MATTER OF FACT, YOU CAN READ
- THE BIBLE TELLS US ONE OF THE
00:17:51.43\00:17:54.40
REASONS THAT SAUL GOT IN SO
MUCH TROUBLE AND WAS CURSED: 1
00:17:54.44\00:18:00.48
CHRONICLES 10:13, "SO SAUL DIED
FOR HIS UNFAITHFULNESS WHICH HE
00:18:00.51\00:18:05.28
HAD COMMITTED AGAINST THE LORD,
BECAUSE HE DID NOT KEEP THE WORD
00:18:05.31\00:18:08.58
OF THE LORD, AND ALSO BECAUSE HE
CONSULTED A MEDIUM" - THIS WITCH
00:18:08.62\00:18:12.55
OF ENDOR - "FOR GUIDANCE."
SHOULD WE GET OUR GUIDANCE FROM
00:18:12.59\00:18:16.42
A MEDIUM? SOMEONE WHO SAID,
'I'VE PASSED TO THE OTHER SIDE
00:18:16.46\00:18:19.49
AND I'VE COME BACK. I'VE
GOT A MESSAGE FOR YOU.' IN
00:18:19.53\00:18:22.86
THE LAST DAYS THE DECEPTION
WOULD BE SO PERSUASIVE THAT IF
00:18:22.90\00:18:25.97
IT WERE POSSIBLE, EVEN THE
VERY ELECT WOULD BE DECEIVED.
00:18:26.00\00:18:29.30
IT REALLY TROUBLES ME WHEN I
HEAR CHRISTIANS JUST FALLING ALL
00:18:29.34\00:18:32.21
OVER THEMSELVES TO READ THESE
BOOKS AND GET THESE MESSAGES
00:18:32.24\00:18:35.21
FROM PEOPLE WHO SUPPOSEDLY HAVE
BEEN TO HEAVEN OR HELL - SOMEONE
00:18:35.24\00:18:38.75
ELSE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT 23
MINUTES IN HELL - AND THESE
00:18:38.78\00:18:41.68
CHRISTIANS GOBBLE IT UP
AND THE INFORMATION IN THERE
00:18:41.72\00:18:43.95
HAS GOD PORTRAYED AS A TYRANT.
AND THE DEVIL USES THESE THINGS
00:18:43.99\00:18:48.69
TO TWIST THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD.
HOW DOES JESUS, IN THE BIBLE,
00:18:48.72\00:18:53.60
REFER TO DEATH? JOHN
11:11 - IT TELLS US, "OUR
00:18:53.63\00:18:59.37
FRIEND LAZARUS SLEEPS, BUT
I GO THAT I MAY WAKE HIM UP."
00:18:59.40\00:19:03.87
HIS DISCIPLES SAID, 'LORD,
IF HE'S SLEEPING HE'LL GET WELL,
00:19:03.91\00:19:06.27
BUT JESUS SPOKE OF HIS DEATH.
00:19:06.31\00:19:08.94
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT TAKING REST AND SLEEP AND
00:19:08.98\00:19:12.15
JESUS SAID TO THEM PLAINLY,
'LAZARUS IS DEAD.' SO WHAT DID
00:19:12.18\00:19:16.32
JESUS CALL DEATH?
IT'S A DREAMLESS SLEEP.
00:19:16.35\00:19:20.39
YOU KNOW, THE WORD 'SLEEP' IS
USED - OR 'REST' - TO DESCRIBE
00:19:20.42\00:19:25.56
DEATH OVER 30
TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:19:25.59\00:19:28.40
SO IT'S OKAY FOR
US TO USE THAT TERM.
00:19:28.43\00:19:30.73
YOU CAN GO THROUGH A LOT
OF GRAVEYARDS - YOU CAN TELL
00:19:30.77\00:19:32.73
THERE'S CONFUSION
EVEN IN A CHURCH CEMETERY.
00:19:32.77\00:19:35.37
ONE GRAVE WILL SAY 'OUR DEARLY
BELOVED MOTHER IS NOW RESTING IN
00:19:35.40\00:19:40.01
JESUS WAITING FOR
THE RESURRECTION TRUMP'.
00:19:40.04\00:19:42.94
YOU'LL SEE GRAVES LIKE
THAT IN A BAPTIST OR A METHODIST
00:19:42.98\00:19:44.85
GRAVEYARD. THEN
YOU'LL SEE ANOTHER ONE THAT
00:19:44.88\00:19:46.82
SAYS, 'OUR DEARLY BELOVED MOTHER
IS NOW SINGING WITH THE ANGELS
00:19:46.85\00:19:49.38
ON THE GOLDEN STREETS.' I MEAN,
THERE'S GREAT CONFUSION ON THIS.
00:19:49.42\00:19:53.36
BUT THE BIBLE'S PRETTY
CLEAR - THEY'RE NOT THERE YET.
00:19:53.39\00:19:55.32
AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW FOR
SURE, IF ANYBODY IN THE BIBLE
00:19:55.36\00:19:58.83
SHOULD HAVE HAD A NEAR-DEATH
EXPERIENCE - IF ANYBODY SHOULD
00:19:58.86\00:20:02.50
HAVE HAD AN EXPERIENCE,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LAZARUS.
00:20:02.53\00:20:06.53
HE WAS DEAD FOR FOUR DAYS.
00:20:06.57\00:20:08.97
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT EVERY
NEWS AGENCY IN THE WORLD WOULD
00:20:09.00\00:20:11.41
HAVE COME TO HIM AND SHOVED
THEIR CAMERAS IN HIS FACE AND
00:20:11.44\00:20:13.51
SAID, 'SO, WHAT DID YOU SEE?'
IT WASN'T JUST 23 MINUTES IN
00:20:13.54\00:20:17.45
HELL OR 90 MINUTES IN
HEAVEN, HE HAD FOUR DAYS.
00:20:17.48\00:20:21.52
YOU KNOW WHAT HE
COMMENTED ON? NOTHING.
00:20:21.55\00:20:25.25
WOULDN'T THE BIBLE
HAVE SAID SOMETHING?
00:20:25.29\00:20:27.42
HE SAID NOTHING. WHY? BECAUSE
HE EXPERIENCED NOTHING. WHY?
00:20:27.46\00:20:30.33
BECAUSE HE WAS
DEAD AND HE WAS ASLEEP.
00:20:30.36\00:20:33.29
IF YOU'RE ALMOST DEAD YOU MIGHT
HAVE A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
00:20:33.33\00:20:36.40
BECAUSE YOU'RE
NOT COMPLETELY DEAD.
00:20:36.43\00:20:38.43
NO ONE - SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE
THEIR HEART STOP AND EVEN TAKE
00:20:38.47\00:20:41.27
THEIR HEART OUT AND A NEW
HEART PUT IN AND THEY'LL HAVE A
00:20:41.30\00:20:44.07
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE. NO
ONE HAS THEIR BRAIN REMOVED
00:20:44.11\00:20:46.04
AND HAS THAT EXPERIENCE
BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY
00:20:46.07\00:20:50.18
EXPERIENCE IN THE BRAIN.
MATTER OF FACT, THERE ARE
00:20:50.21\00:20:52.11
APPROXIMATELY TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS IN THE BIBLE.
00:20:52.15\00:20:56.92
AND OF THOSE TWELVE
RESURRECTIONS, HOW MANY OF THEM
00:20:56.95\00:20:58.95
COMMENTED ON THEIR
EXPERIENCE IN DEATH? ZERO.
00:20:58.99\00:21:03.36
SO HOW MUCH SHOULD CHRISTIANS
SPECULATE ABOUT TRUTH COMING
00:21:03.39\00:21:06.39
FROM A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
OR A DREAM OR A VISION OR WHEN
00:21:06.43\00:21:11.00
YOU'RE IN A COMA? JOHN
5:28-29, JESUS SAID, "DO
00:21:11.03\00:21:15.17
NOT MARVEL AT THIS; FOR THE HOUR
IS COMING IN WHICH ALL WHO ARE
00:21:15.20\00:21:18.31
IN THE GRAVES
WILL HEAR HIS VOICE." -
00:21:18.34\00:21:20.08
THE HOUR IS COMING - IT HASN'T
HAPPENED YET - "AND COME FORTH -
00:21:20.11\00:21:23.21
THOSE WHO HAVE DONE GOOD, TO THE
RESURRECTION OF LIFE, AND THOSE
00:21:23.24\00:21:26.58
WHO HAVE DONE EVIL, TO THE
RESURRECTION OF CONDEMNATION."
00:21:26.61\00:21:29.55
AND JESUS SAID, 'I
WILL RAISE HIM UP' - WHEN? -
00:21:29.58\00:21:31.82
'THE LAST DAY.' THAT
RESURRECTION HASN'T HAPPENED
00:21:31.85\00:21:34.86
YET. WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? 1
THESSALONIANS 4:13, "BUT I DO
00:21:34.89\00:21:40.20
NOT WANT YOU TO BE IGNORANT,
BRETHREN, CONCERNING THOSE WHO
00:21:40.23\00:21:42.66
HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP" -
WHAT'S PAUL TALKING ABOUT?
00:21:42.70\00:21:45.47
THOSE WHO ARE DEAD - "LEST
YOU SORROW AS OTHERS WHO HAVE NO
00:21:45.50\00:21:48.70
HOPE." WILL WE SEE
OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN? YES,
00:21:48.74\00:21:52.81
I BELIEVE WE WILL. IT
SAYS IN VERSE 16, "FOR THE
00:21:52.84\00:21:56.91
LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE
00:21:56.95\00:21:59.51
VOICE OF AN ARCHANGEL,
AND WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD.
00:21:59.55\00:22:02.05
AND THE DEAD IN
CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST."
00:22:02.08\00:22:05.19
THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE WILL
BE CAUGHT UP TO MEET HIM IN THE
00:22:05.22\00:22:07.32
AIR. IF YOU
REALLY WANT TO KNOW 'WHEN
00:22:07.36\00:22:09.02
DOES THIS RESURRECTION TAKE
PLACE?' YOU CAN'T MISINTERPRET
00:22:09.06\00:22:11.56
PAUL'S WORDS IN 1 CORINTHIANS
15:22-23, "FOR AS IN ADAM ALL
00:22:11.59\00:22:16.06
DIE, EVEN SO IN CHRIST
ALL SHALL BE MADE ALIVE.
00:22:16.10\00:22:20.50
BUT EACH ONE IN HIS OWN ORDER:
CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS," - HE
00:22:20.54\00:22:25.11
ROSE 2,000 YEARS AGO -
"AFTERWARD THOSE WHO ARE
00:22:25.14\00:22:28.81
CHRIST'S" - THE DEAD IN
CHRIST - "AT HIS COMING."
00:22:28.84\00:22:32.88
WHEN DO THEY RISE? AT HIS
COMING. ARE THEY RISEN YET? NO.
00:22:32.91\00:22:37.82
WHY AM I TAKING
TIME TO TALK ABOUT THIS?
00:22:37.85\00:22:40.49
BECAUSE THE DEVIL SAYS - THE
BIBLE SAYS, RATHER - THE BIBLE
00:22:40.52\00:22:44.59
SAYS, IN THE LAST DAYS, THAT
THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE
00:22:44.63\00:22:48.06
MAIN DECEPTIONS OF THE ENEMY.
2 THESSALONIANS 2:9-11, "THE
00:22:48.10\00:22:53.13
COMING OF THE LAWLESS ONE
IS ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF
00:22:53.17\00:22:55.87
SATAN, WITH ALL POWER, SIGNS,
AND LYING WONDERS, AND WITH ALL
00:22:55.90\00:22:59.71
UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION AMONG
THOSE WHO PERISH, BECAUSE THEY
00:22:59.74\00:23:04.01
DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE
TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
00:23:04.05\00:23:07.65
AND FOR THIS REASON GOD WILL
SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, THAT
00:23:07.68\00:23:11.25
THEY SHOULD BELIEVE THE LIE."
PAUL'S NOT WRITING TO THE PAGANS
00:23:11.29\00:23:14.46
THAT ARE LOST OUT IN THE WORLD,
HE'S TALKING TO THE CHURCH.
00:23:14.49\00:23:18.29
AND IF THEY DON'T RECEIVE A
LOVE OF THE WORD, THE DEVIL WILL
00:23:18.33\00:23:21.16
EXPLOIT THAT AND THEY'LL HAVE
ALL KINDS OF EXPERIENCES AND BE
00:23:21.20\00:23:24.03
VERY SINCERE AND GOD WILL ALLOW
THEM TO BELIEVE THESE DEADLY
00:23:24.07\00:23:29.97
DELUSIONS. IT
TELLS US IN REVELATION
00:23:30.01\00:23:32.61
CHAPTER 16 THAT THREE UNCLEAN
SPIRITS LIKE FROGS COME OUT OF
00:23:32.64\00:23:37.38
THE MOUTHS OF THE
BEAST, THE DRAGON, AND THE
00:23:37.41\00:23:39.55
FALSE PROPHET AND IT
SAYS, 'THEY'RE DEVILS WORKING
00:23:39.58\00:23:42.42
MIRACLES.' 2 CORINTHIANS 11,
'SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED
00:23:42.45\00:23:47.32
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.' SO WHO
ARE THESE BEINGS THAT SUPPOSEDLY
00:23:47.36\00:23:53.83
COMMUNICATE IN THE DREAMS?
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:23:53.86\00:23:57.13
SPIRITS OF
DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES.
00:23:57.17\00:24:00.30
IT SAYS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
'THEY ARE LYING SPIRITS.' THE
00:24:00.34\00:24:03.47
DEVIL DIDN'T FALL ALONE, HE
TOOK ANGELS WITH HIM AND THEY'RE
00:24:03.51\00:24:06.24
GOING AROUND DOING ALL THEY CAN
TO DECEIVE PEOPLE IN THE LAST
00:24:06.27\00:24:09.41
DAYS. WITCHCRAFT
IS ONE OF THE WORKS
00:24:09.44\00:24:12.68
OF THE FLESH LISTED IN GALATIANS
5:20 THAT IS FORBIDDEN.
00:24:12.71\00:24:16.62
PAUL SAYS WE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE UNFRUITFUL WORKS
00:24:16.65\00:24:19.89
OF DARKNESS, IN EPHESIANS.
AND SO THERE'S DIABOLICAL
00:24:19.92\00:24:23.79
ACTIVITY GOING ON OUT THERE, BUT
WHAT'S ESPECIALLY TROUBLING -
00:24:23.83\00:24:27.46
IT'S BEEN PUTTING ON THE
GARB OF CHRISTIANITY LATELY.
00:24:27.50\00:24:31.23
AND WHEN IT'S PORTRAYED -
ESPECIALLY THROUGH A LITTLE
00:24:31.27\00:24:34.54
CHILD, OR THROUGH 'WHY THIS
PERSON WAS CONVERTED THROUGH
00:24:34.57\00:24:39.04
THIS EXPERIENCE AND THERE WAS
PRAYER THAT WAS HAPPENING.' AND
00:24:39.07\00:24:42.74
IN THE CONTEXT OF THESE THINGS,
PEOPLE THINK, 'WELL IT MUST BE
00:24:42.78\00:24:45.78
OF GOD.' BUT IF IT DOES NOT
SPEAK ACCORDING TO THIS WORD,
00:24:45.81\00:24:49.12
THERE'S NO LIGHT IN THEM. I
BELIEVE JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.
00:24:49.15\00:24:53.76
I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S
GOING TO BE A RESURRECTION.
00:24:53.79\00:24:56.76
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING
TO SEE OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN.
00:24:56.79\00:24:59.33
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD
BE TRYING TO CHANNEL AND GET
00:24:59.36\00:25:03.03
MESSAGES FROM THEM NOW BECAUSE
THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR ON THAT
00:25:03.06\00:25:06.43
SUBJECT: LET ALL WHO HONOR GOD
SHUN THE WORLD OF THE OCCULT.
00:25:06.47\00:25:12.94
SOMEONE REMINDED ME OF THE WORDS
OF RUDYARD KIPLING - HE WROTE A
00:25:12.97\00:25:16.21
POEM ON THIS: 'OH, THE ROAD TO
ENDOR IS THE OLDEST ROAD AND THE
00:25:16.24\00:25:21.62
CRAZIEST ROAD OF ALL!
STRAIGHT IT RUNS TO THE WITCH'S
00:25:21.65\00:25:24.89
ABODE, AS IT DID IN THE DAYS OF
SAUL, AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED OF
00:25:24.92\00:25:29.06
THE SORROW IN STORE FOR SUCH AS
GO DOWN ON THE ROAD TO ENDOR!"
00:25:29.09\00:25:34.10
DON'T GO DOWN THAT ROAD FRIENDS,
EVEN IF IT'S IN A BLOCKBUSTER
00:25:34.10\00:25:38.30
MOVIE OR A BEST-SELLING BOOK.
GOD WANTS US TO STAY AWAY FROM
00:25:38.33\00:25:42.07
THESE MESSAGES THAT THE DEVIL
IS TRYING TO TWEAK OUR THEOLOGY
00:25:42.10\00:25:46.17
WITH DECEIVING
SPIRITS. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.
00:25:46.21\00:25:49.78
HE SAYS, "I AM THE
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.
00:25:49.81\00:25:52.28
HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, THOUGH
HE MAY DIE, HE SHALL LIVE.
00:25:52.31\00:25:55.72
AND WHOEVER LIVES AND
BELIEVES IN ME SHALL NEVER DIE."
00:25:55.75\00:25:59.45
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
AND DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
00:25:59.49\00:26:02.82
THAT'S TO BE OUR
SOURCE OF TRUTH, AMEN?
00:26:02.86\00:26:10.33
>>PERHAPS YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID
THAT IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH
00:26:10.37\00:26:13.37
YOU'LL DIE, BUT NO ONE REALLY
WANTS TO TALK ABOUT DEATH.
00:26:13.40\00:26:17.84
DEATH IS THAT
PROVERBIAL ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
00:26:17.87\00:26:20.94
SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT WHEN
YOU DIE, WELL, YOU TAKE ON SOME
00:26:20.98\00:26:24.25
NEW ESSENCE OR
YOU ENTER A NEW FORM.
00:26:24.28\00:26:26.65
PERHAPS YOU'RE
REINCARNATED AS ANOTHER PERSON.
00:26:26.68\00:26:29.65
OTHERS BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU
DIE, YOU TURN INTO FERTILIZER
00:26:29.68\00:26:32.55
AND YOU'RE DEAD.
WHAT'S THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS
00:26:32.59\00:26:34.99

EVERYBODY WILL FACE SOMEDAY?
