>>WE'RE GOING TO STUDY A LESSON
TONIGHT THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT
00:01:46.43\00:01:48.80
BECAUSE IT'S DEALING
WITH A BATTLE - THAT EVERYBODY
00:01:48.84\00:01:54.31
IS FACING -
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
00:01:54.34\00:01:57.88
THE LESSON TONIGHT IS CALLED THE
PRINCE OF PRIDE AND IT BEGINS
00:01:57.91\00:02:02.75
DEALING WITH A STORY - ONE OF
THE SONS OF DAVID, HIS NAME WAS
00:02:02.78\00:02:08.09
ABSALOM, HE WAS ACTUALLY
THE THIRD IN LINE TO BE KING.
00:02:08.12\00:02:12.16
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT HE
WAS VERY BRIGHT AND HE WAS VERY
00:02:12.19\00:02:15.86
BEAUTIFUL - HE
WAS A HANDSOME MAN.
00:02:15.90\00:02:18.20
"FROM THE CROWN OF HIS HEAD TO
THE SOLE OF HIS FOOT", THE BIBLE
00:02:18.23\00:02:21.17
SAYS, "THERE WAS
NO BLEMISH IN HIM."
00:02:21.20\00:02:23.14
AND EVENTUALLY ABSALOM DECIDED
HE DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR HIS
00:02:23.17\00:02:26.84
FATHER TO DIE, HE
WANTED TO JUST TAKE THE THRONE.
00:02:26.88\00:02:30.58
AND SO, GRADUALLY, HE BEGAN TO
EXALT HIMSELF BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
00:02:30.61\00:02:35.28
IT SAYS HE GOT A CHARIOT AND
HE'D RIDE THROUGH THE STREETS
00:02:35.32\00:02:38.75
WITH 50 MEN RUNNING BEFORE
HIM AND THEY'D SAY, 'HERE COMES
00:02:38.79\00:02:40.89
PRINCE ABSALOM!' THEY'D SEE
HIM WITH HIS LONG, FLOWING HAIR
00:02:40.92\00:02:43.19
AND HIS BEAUTIFUL GILDED
CHARIOT AND WHEN PEOPLE CAME TO
00:02:43.22\00:02:47.03
KING DAVID FOR JUDGMENT, HE
WOULD INTERCEPT THEM AND HE'D
00:02:47.10\00:02:50.77
SAY, 'SO WHAT IS IT YOU
NEED TO TALK TO THE KING ABOUT?'
00:02:50.80\00:02:53.23
'OH, I'M WITH YOU. IF I
WAS KING, I'D TAKE CARE OF
00:02:53.27\00:02:57.24
YOU.' AND HE DID THIS AND HE'D
HUG THEM AND HE JUST WON THEM
00:02:57.27\00:03:00.68
OVER THROUGH SUBTERFUGE.
AND GRADUALLY, THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:03:00.71\00:03:06.18
HE STOLE THE HEARTS
OF THE MEN OF ISRAEL.
00:03:06.21\00:03:09.38
AND THE CONSPIRACY GOT WORSE AND
WORSE UNTIL IT FINALLY BROKE OFF
00:03:09.42\00:03:13.49
INTO A BATTLE WHERE DAVID
ACTUALLY HAD TO GET HIS - HE HAD
00:03:13.52\00:03:19.69
TO FLEE JERUSALEM AND HIS FORCES
ENGAGED WITH THE FORCES OF
00:03:19.73\00:03:24.13
ABSALOM AND IN THIS TERRIBLE
BATTLE, EVENTUALLY ABSALOM FLED
00:03:24.17\00:03:27.74
AND - THROUGH THE WOODS AND HIS
SOLDIERS - RIDING ON HIS MULE HE
00:03:27.77\00:03:32.54
WENT UNDER THE BOUGH OF A
TREE AND HIS HEAD GOT STUCK
00:03:32.57\00:03:35.58
IN THE BOUGH OF THE TREE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, AT THAT POINT HE
00:03:35.61\00:03:39.68
WAS PIERCED THROUGH, HANGING
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH -
00:03:39.71\00:03:43.22
THE SON OF DAVID. NOW
LISTEN, THE SON OF DAVID
00:03:43.25\00:03:47.12
HANGING BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
IN A TREE, JOAB CAME AND PIERCED
00:03:47.16\00:03:50.49
HIS HEART AND THEY STABBED
HIM WITH THREE JAVELINS AND THEN
00:03:50.53\00:03:54.86
DAVID GOT THE TERRIBLE NEWS.
WITH ABSALOM'S REBELLION, IN
00:03:54.93\00:03:59.77
THAT PICTURE, WE FIND GLIMPSES
OF THE GOSPEL ON BOTH SIDES.
00:03:59.80\00:04:04.44
FIRST, YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS
BEAUTIFUL CREATURE THAT REBELLED
00:04:04.47\00:04:07.58
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING
INTO THIS IN OUR LESSON TONIGHT.
00:04:07.61\00:04:11.15
IT SAYS, WHAT IS THE NAME OF
THIS REBELLIOUS PRINCE IN HEAVEN
00:04:11.18\00:04:15.48
AND WHY DID HE REBEL?
ABSALOM IS A TYPE OF A REBELLION
00:04:15.52\00:04:19.55
THAT TOOK PLACE IN HEAVEN AND
YOU CAN READ THERE IN THE BIBLE
00:04:19.59\00:04:22.69
IN ISAIAH 14, VERSE 12, "HOW
YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O
00:04:22.72\00:04:27.00
LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING!"
NOW LUCIFER IS NOT A BAD NAME.
00:04:27.03\00:04:34.24
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF
SOMETHING AS LUMINESCENT -
00:04:34.27\00:04:37.91
LUCE - IT MEANS LIGHT.
YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF LUCITE
00:04:37.94\00:04:40.31
PAINT - AND HE WAS
GOOD WHEN GOD MADE HIM.
00:04:40.34\00:04:44.38
THE HIGHEST OF GOD'S CREATURES
WAS AN ANGEL BY THE NAME OF
00:04:44.41\00:04:48.08
LUCIFER. HE WAS GOOD. HE
WAS PERFECT - NOTHING WRONG
00:04:48.12\00:04:52.42
WITH HIM. WE
DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE
00:04:52.45\00:04:53.66
EXISTED, BUT IT
WAS FOR A LONG TIME.
00:04:53.69\00:04:56.46
AND THEN, SOMETHING BEGAN TO
HAPPEN IN HIS HEART, "FOR" - IT
00:04:56.49\00:05:00.73
SAYS - "THOU HAST SAID IN THINE
HEART...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
00:05:00.76\00:05:07.60
HIGH." SOMETHING
HAPPENED IN HIS HEART
00:05:07.64\00:05:11.67
WHERE HE WANTED TO HAVE THE
POSITION THAT BELONGED TO GOD.
00:05:11.71\00:05:15.51
ONE OF THE REASONS THAT LUCIFER
HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH PRIDE IS
00:05:15.54\00:05:20.68
BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON IN
HIS HEART AND HE WAS ALSO VERY
00:05:20.72\00:05:24.65
BEAUTIFUL. YOU CAN
READ IN ISAIAH - I'M
00:05:24.69\00:05:26.79
SORRY, EZEKIEL 28, VERSE 17 - IT
SAYS, "THINE HEART WAS LIFTED UP
00:05:26.82\00:05:30.99
BECAUSE OF THY BEAUTY, THOU HAS
CORRUPTED THY WISDOM BY REASON
00:05:31.03\00:05:38.27
OF THY BRIGHTNESS:" - DID
GOD MAKE A DEVIL WHEN HE CREATED
00:05:38.30\00:05:43.54
LUCIFER? NOW THIS
IS THE BIG THING THAT
00:05:43.57\00:05:45.11
CONFUSES PEOPLE. THEY
THINK, 'IF GOD IS GOOD, WHY
00:05:45.14\00:05:46.81
DID HE MAKE A
DEVIL TO TEMPT US?'
00:05:46.84\00:05:49.34
GOD DOES NOT TEMPT ANY MAN WITH
EVIL, NEITHER CAN HE BE TEMPTED.
00:05:49.38\00:05:52.91
EVERY GOOD AND
PERFECT GIFT COMES FROM GOD.
00:05:52.95\00:05:55.68
YOU CAN READ THE ANSWER IN
EZEKIEL 28, VERSE 15, IT SAYS,
00:05:55.72\00:05:59.62
"THOU WAST PERFECT IN THY
WAYS FROM THE DAY THAT THOU WAST
00:05:59.65\00:06:04.79
CREATED, TILL
INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN THEE."
00:06:04.83\00:06:09.36
GOD MADE ALL OF HIS INTELLIGENT
CREATURES WITH FREEDOM OF WILL
00:06:09.40\00:06:14.30
AND THAT MEANS THAT IF WE'RE
GOING TO LOVE GOD, WE NEED TO BE
00:06:14.34\00:06:17.84
ABLE TO LOVE HIM
FREELY. IT CANNOT BE FORCED.
00:06:17.87\00:06:20.48
LUCIFER WAS MADE
WITH THAT SAME FREEDOM.
00:06:20.51\00:06:22.98
THAT MEANS GOD DID NOT FORCE
HIM TO SAY, 'I LOVE YOU, GOD.'
00:06:23.01\00:06:27.85
HE WAS ABLE TO
DO WHAT HE WANTED.
00:06:27.88\00:06:29.42
THE ONLY WAY REAL LOVE CAN BE
GIVEN IS IF IT'S DONE FREELY BY
00:06:29.45\00:06:35.19
CHOICE. FORCED LOVE IS NOT LOVE.
00:06:35.22\00:06:39.56
MATTER OF FACT, FORCED
LOVE IS SOMETIMES CALLED RAPE.
00:06:39.59\00:06:43.23
GOD DOES NOT FORCE US TO LOVE
HIM, EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS ALL
00:06:43.26\00:06:46.57
THINGS. I KNOW,
SOMEBODY'S PROBABLY
00:06:46.60\00:06:47.70
THINKING, 'PASTOR DOUG, DOES
THAT MEAN THAT AT THE FACTORY,
00:06:47.74\00:06:51.24
OR WHEREVER GOD MAKES HIS
ANGELS, THAT HE MADE A MISTAKE
00:06:51.27\00:06:53.17
WITH LUCIFER AND THAT
THERE WAS SOME KIND OF DEFECT?
00:06:53.21\00:06:57.11
THERE WAS SOMETHING - A
VIRUS - SOMETHING WRONG IN THE
00:06:57.15\00:06:59.35
PROGRAMMING. GOD
OBVIOUSLY MADE A MISTAKE.
00:06:59.38\00:07:02.15
DIDN'T GOD KNOW
WHAT LUCIFER WOULD DO?
00:07:02.18\00:07:04.72
DOESN'T GOD KNOW ALL THINGS?
00:07:04.75\00:07:05.85
WHY DID HE STILL MAKE HIM EVEN
THOUGH HE KNEW THAT HE WOULD
00:07:05.89\00:07:09.56
SOMEDAY BECOME
SELFISH AND REBEL?'
00:07:09.59\00:07:11.56
THE GREATEST EVIDENCE THAT YOU
REALLY ARE FREE AND CAPABLE OF
00:07:11.59\00:07:16.50
LOVING, IS THAT GOD WOULD EVEN
MAKE A CREATURE THAT DOESN'T
00:07:16.53\00:07:20.20
LOVE HIM. WHAT
EVENTUALLY HAPPENED?
00:07:20.24\00:07:23.04
AND YOU FIND THE ANSWER IN
REVELATION 12 AND VERSE 7, IT
00:07:23.07\00:07:27.78
SAYS, "AND THERE
WAS WAR IN HEAVEN".
00:07:27.81\00:07:32.85
NOW IT'S HARD FOR US TO
COMPREHEND WHAT A WAR IN HEAVEN
00:07:32.88\00:07:35.52
WOULD LOOK LIKE, BUT
IT DID ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
00:07:35.55\00:07:38.42
THERE WAS SOME
KIND OF REBELLION.
00:07:38.45\00:07:40.26
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF
LESSON - WHAT KIND OF WEAPONS
00:07:40.29\00:07:42.76
THEY MAY HAVE USED. YOU
KNOW, IT PROBABLY DIDN'T
00:07:42.79\00:07:46.39
LOOK LIKE STAR WARS SWORDS OR
SOMETHING, BUT THESE ANGELS HAD
00:07:46.43\00:07:50.67
A WAR. ONE-THIRD
OF THE ANGELS DECIDED
00:07:50.70\00:07:53.20
TO FOLLOW LUCIFER.
TWO-THIRDS REMAINED LOYAL TO
00:07:53.23\00:07:56.40
GOD. IT'S AMAZING
- IT'S ALMOST MIND
00:07:56.44\00:07:59.01
BOGGLING - THAT HIS
CAMPAIGN WAS SO SUCCESSFUL.
00:07:59.04\00:08:01.34
SO DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE
ENEMY, BUT NEITHER SHOULD YOU
00:08:01.38\00:08:05.61
UNDERESTIMATE GOD. >>AMEN.
00:08:05.65\00:08:07.62
>>BUT THE LORD NEEDED TO ALLOW
LUCIFER TO REVEAL WHAT HE WAS
00:08:07.65\00:08:11.62
LIKE. SO THERE
WAS A WAR IN HEAVEN.
00:08:11.65\00:08:13.66
AND IT SAYS "MICHAEL AND
HIS ANGELS FOUGHT AGAINST THE
00:08:13.69\00:08:16.49
DRAGON; AND THE DRAGON
FOUGHT AND HIS ANGELS."
00:08:16.52\00:08:20.00
NOW THE DRAGON IS ONE OF THE
SIGNS - ONE OF THE NAMES THAT'S
00:08:20.03\00:08:23.70
USED FOR LUCIFER. AND SO THE
DEVIL IS COMPARED TO A DRAGON.
00:08:23.73\00:08:27.30
HE'S COMPARED TO A SERPENT IN
THE BIBLE - WE'LL SAY MORE ABOUT
00:08:27.34\00:08:29.80
THAT IN A MINUTE. SO
THERE'S THIS BIG BATTLE AND,
00:08:29.84\00:08:32.91
ULTIMATELY, LUCIFER
WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:08:32.94\00:08:36.34
YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS NOW - WE
GO TO QUESTION #4: WHAT POWERFUL
00:08:36.38\00:08:41.08
BEINGS WORK UNDER
THE DEVIL'S COMMAND?
00:08:41.12\00:08:43.79
LUCIFER IS NOT ALONE.
YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT IN
00:08:43.82\00:08:46.55
REVELATION 12. A LOT
OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
00:08:46.59\00:08:48.26
FIND OUT ABOUT LUCIFER IS
FOUND IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12.
00:08:48.29\00:08:51.99
REVELATION 12:4, "AND HIS TAIL
DREW THE THIRD PART OF THE STARS
00:08:52.03\00:08:58.43
OF HEAVEN, AND DID
CAST THEM TO THE EARTH."
00:08:58.47\00:09:00.74
REVELATION 12, VERSE 9, IT SAYS
HE "WAS CAST OUT INTO THE EARTH,
00:09:00.77\00:09:05.27
AND HIS ANGELS" - NOT JESUS'
ANGELS, LUCIFER'S ANGELS - THE
00:09:05.31\00:09:11.65
DRAGON'S ANGELS -
"WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM."
00:09:11.68\00:09:14.25
AND IT'S THEIR STUDIED PURPOSE
TO HURT GOD - TO HURT JESUS.
00:09:14.28\00:09:18.99
THERE'S THIS CAMPAIGN GOING ON
- YOU SEE THE LORD, IF HE WANTED
00:09:19.02\00:09:22.49
TO, HE COULD HAVE SNAPPED HIS
FINGERS AND DESTROYED LUCIFER,
00:09:22.52\00:09:25.16
BUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED?
00:09:25.19\00:09:26.96
IF, AS SOON AS THIS WAR HAPPENED
- I MEAN, YOU PICTURE ANGELS
00:09:27.00\00:09:30.73
WRESTLING LIKE SUMO WRESTLERS OR
SOMETHING, TRYING TO THROW ONE
00:09:30.77\00:09:33.57
OF THEM OUT OF HEAVEN LIKE
THEY THROW EACH OTHER OUT OF THE
00:09:33.60\00:09:35.90
CIRCLE AND FINALLY THEY - DIDN'T
GOD HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO JUST
00:09:35.94\00:09:39.57
SAY, 'OUT OF
HERE!' AND THEY'RE GONE?
00:09:39.61\00:09:41.51
OF COURSE HE DID. HE MADE THEM.
00:09:41.54\00:09:43.48
HE'S THE CREATOR,
THEY'RE THE CREATION.
00:09:43.51\00:09:46.08
BUT HE ALLOWED THE NATURAL
ORDER OF THINGS TO PLAY OUT.
00:09:46.11\00:09:51.12
HIS ANGELS - HIS GOOD ANGELS
- WERE INVOLVED IN THE BATTLE.
00:09:51.15\00:09:54.02
THEY NEEDED TO BE PART OF
THE CHOICE TO EVICT SATAN.
00:09:54.06\00:09:57.86
AND SO HE THEN SET UP HIS
HEADQUARTERS DOWN HERE ON THIS
00:09:57.89\00:10:01.93
PLANET TO CONTINUE
HIS REBELLION AGAINST GOD.
00:10:01.96\00:10:05.30
THIS WORLD HAS BECOME A BEACH
HEAD FOR THE DEVIL TO FIGHT
00:10:05.33\00:10:08.44
AGAINST GOD. WHAT
METHODS DOES THE DEVIL USE
00:10:08.47\00:10:11.14
IN CONTINUING HIS WORK
OF REBELLION AGAINST GOD?
00:10:11.17\00:10:15.01
AND THE ANSWER IS FOUND
IN REVELATION 12, VERSE 9.
00:10:15.04\00:10:18.81
HE'S REFERRED TO AS "SATAN,
WHICH DECEIVETH" - SOME OF THE
00:10:18.85\00:10:23.69
WORLD? MOST OF THE WORLD
IS DECEIVED BY THE DEVIL.
00:10:23.72\00:10:27.19
THERE'S VERY FEW IN THE
WORLD THAT UNDERSTAND THIS GREAT
00:10:27.22\00:10:29.32
BATTLE THAT'S GOING
ON BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
00:10:29.36\00:10:31.79
PEOPLE ARE BLAMING GOD FOR ALL
THE SUFFERING IN THE WORLD, BUT
00:10:31.83\00:10:34.40
THE DEVIL - JESUS SAID THE DEVIL
IS THE ONE WHO CAUSES THESE
00:10:34.46\00:10:36.77
THINGS. YOU KNOW
WHAT MAKES THE DEVIL
00:10:36.80\00:10:39.10
ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS? THE DEVIL
CAN CO-MINGLE TRUTH WITH ERROR.
00:10:39.13\00:10:44.44
>>ONE OF THE MOST COMMON
QUESTIONS WE GET HERE AT AMAZING
00:10:44.47\00:10:46.84
FACTS IS REGARDING THE
MYSTERIOUS IDENTITY OF THIS
00:10:46.88\00:10:50.55
ENIGMATIC CHARACTER
CALLED THE ANTICHRIST.
00:10:50.58\00:10:54.12
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
ARE WONDERING, 'WHO IS THE
00:10:54.15\00:10:56.48
ANTICHRIST? IS IT A
POLITICAL PARTY OR IS
00:10:56.52\00:10:59.75
THIS SOME EVIL FIEND
THAT IS THE DEVIL INCARNATE?'
00:10:59.79\00:11:03.56
WELL, WE HAVE A STUDY GUIDE
THAT WILL DEFINITELY HELP YOU
00:11:03.59\00:11:05.99
UNDERSTAND THIS.
YOU MIGHT EVEN FIND
00:11:06.03\00:11:07.76
IT A LITTLE
SHOCKING. IT'S CALLED
00:11:07.76\00:11:10.10
WHO IS THE ANTICHRIST?
AND YOU'LL BE AMAZED TO LEARN
00:11:10.13\00:11:13.03
THE ANTICHRIST IS
ALIVE AND IN THE WORLD TODAY.

MESSAGE IS OUR MISSION.
00:11:30.89\00:11:35.06
DECEPTION IS MIXING THEM
TOGETHER. WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF
00:11:35.09\00:11:37.96
GO THROUGH A LITTLE ALPHABET
LIST OF WHAT SOME OF THE DEVIL'S
00:11:37.99\00:11:40.40
TACTICS ARE SO YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:11:40.43\00:11:42.50
MARK 1:13 - ANOTHER PART OF THE
ANSWER - IT SAYS THAT JESUS WAS
00:11:42.53\00:11:46.90
THERE IN THE WILDERNESS
TEMPTED - FORTY DAYS - TEMPTED
00:11:46.94\00:11:50.97
BY THE DEVIL. SO
WHAT DOES THE DEVIL DO?
00:11:51.01\00:11:53.54
HE TEMPTS PEOPLE.
TEMPTS THEM TO DO WHAT?
00:11:53.58\00:11:56.54
TO DISOBEY GOD - TO
DO THINGS THAT ARE WRONG.
00:11:56.58\00:11:59.45
YOU KNOW, GOD, THROUGH HIS
SPIRIT, IS TRYING TO GUIDE US IN
00:11:59.48\00:12:02.65
LIVES OF HOLINESS BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE HAPPINESS COMES FROM.
00:12:02.68\00:12:05.65
GOD WANTS YOU TO
HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.02
SIN DOES NOT BRING HAPPINESS.
00:12:07.06\00:12:09.22
JOHN TELLS US, IN 1 JOHN CHAPTER
2, IT'S REALLY SUMMED UP IN
00:12:09.26\00:12:12.43
THREE CATEGORIES - ALL SIN -
LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF
00:12:12.46\00:12:15.96
THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE.
ANY TEMPTATION THAT YOU MIGHT
00:12:16.00\00:12:18.90
FACE WILL TYPICALLY FALL INTO
ONE OF THOSE THREE CATEGORIES.
00:12:18.93\00:12:22.24
JESUS OVERCAME ALL THREE AND
HE GAVE US AN EXAMPLE HOW WE CAN
00:12:22.27\00:12:26.57
OVERCOME. YOU CAN
DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
00:12:26.61\00:12:29.04
CHRIST, FRIENDS, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:12:29.08\00:12:30.91
>>AGAIN, THE DEVIL TOOK HIM UP
ON AN EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN.
00:12:30.95\00:12:33.65
HE SHOWED HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS
OF THE WORLD AND THEIR GLORY.
00:12:33.68\00:12:36.89
HE DIDN'T SHOW HIM THE SLUMS, HE
SHOWED HIM THE GLORIOUS PARTS OF
00:12:36.92\00:12:40.76
THE KINGDOM. HE SAID,
'JESUS, YOU'VE COME TO
00:12:40.79\00:12:42.52
THIS WORLD TO DIE - TO SAVE
THESE PEOPLE - YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:12:42.56\00:12:44.76
DIE. I'M THE
PRINCE OF THE WORLD,
00:12:44.79\00:12:46.63
FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP
ME. I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
00:12:46.66\00:12:49.66
CLEVER, INSIDIOUS - JESUS SAID,
'GET BEHIND ME, SATAN, THOU
00:12:49.70\00:12:55.67
SHALT WORSHIP THE LORD ONLY.'
EVERY TEMPTATION HE MET WITH THE
00:12:55.70\00:12:58.17
WORD OF GOD, RIGHT? HOW
IMPORTANT IS IT FOR US TO
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.94
KNOW OUR BIBLES? >>VERY.
00:13:00.98\00:13:02.88
>>ANSWER C: IT SAYS, "FOR THEY
ARE THE SPIRITS" - AND THIS IS
00:13:02.91\00:13:06.65
REVELATION 16:14 - "FOR THEY
ARE THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS" -
00:13:06.68\00:13:09.65
DOING WHAT? -
"WORKING MIRACLES."
00:13:09.68\00:13:12.22
SO CAN THE DEVIL WORK
MIRACLES THAT REALLY LOOK REAL?
00:13:12.25\00:13:16.36
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE
STORY OF WHEN MOSES CAME TO GET
00:13:16.39\00:13:19.16
THE PEOPLE OUT OF EGYPT AND GOD
TOLD HIM, 'TAKE YOUR STAFF AND
00:13:19.19\00:13:22.43
THROW IT DOWN BEFORE PHARAOH
AND I'LL REVEAL MY POWER."
00:13:22.46\00:13:25.87
AND MOSES DID THAT AND HE THREW
DOWN HIS STAFF AND IT TURNED
00:13:25.90\00:13:28.44
INTO A SERPENT. AND SO
THE PHARAOH CLAPPED HIS
00:13:28.47\00:13:30.94
HANDS AND OUT CAME HIS MAGICIANS
AND THEY THREW DOWN THEIR
00:13:30.97\00:13:34.94
STAFFS AND WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY TURNED INTO SERPENTS.
00:13:34.98\00:13:38.48
YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY,
MOSES' SERPENT GOBBLED UP THEIR
00:13:38.51\00:13:42.72
SERPENTS - >>AMEN.
00:13:42.75\00:13:43.99
>>AND THEN TURNED
BACK INTO A STAFF.
00:13:44.02\00:13:46.32
SO THE DEVIL CAN COUNTERFEIT
CERTAIN MIRACLES AND THAT'S
00:13:46.35\00:13:50.43
IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE
YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAYS THE BEAST
00:13:50.46\00:13:52.39
POWER IS GOING TO
DO IN REVELATION 13?
00:13:52.43\00:13:54.60
HE'LL DECEIVE THE WORLD BY
MIRACLES, EVEN GOING SO FAR
00:13:54.63\00:13:57.33
AS BRINGING FIRE
DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:13:57.37\00:13:59.87
TYPICALLY IT'S GOD WHO DID THAT
- WHEN FIRE CAME DOWN ON THE
00:13:59.90\00:14:03.34
ALTAR - WHEN ELIJAH
PRAYED AND FIRE CAME DOWN.
00:14:03.37\00:14:05.57
BUT THE DEVIL'S GOING TO
COUNTERFEIT THE MIRACLES OF GOD,
00:14:05.61\00:14:08.18
SO WHEN YOU SEE SOME OF THESE
BAMBOOZLING PREACHERS THAT ARE
00:14:08.21\00:14:11.05
BEGGING FOR MONEY AND THEY
SUPPOSEDLY HAVE MIRACLES, NOT
00:14:11.08\00:14:13.95
ALL OF THEM ARE REAL. I
BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, YOU KNOW
00:14:13.98\00:14:16.22
THAT, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE
BIBLE - BUT DON'T BE FOOLED JUST
00:14:16.25\00:14:18.82
BY MIRACLES, BECAUSE THE
DEVIL'S AGENTS CAN DO THAT TOO.
00:14:18.85\00:14:22.22
WE CAN SAY MORE ABOUT THAT.
REVELATION CHAPTER 13:13 - I
00:14:22.26\00:14:26.29
JUST, REALLY,
QUOTED THIS TO YOU.
00:14:26.33\00:14:27.83
IT SAYS, "HE DOES GREAT WONDERS,
SO THAT HE MAKES FIRE COME DOWN
00:14:27.86\00:14:31.53
FROM HEAVEN ON THE SIGHT - ON
THE EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF MEN."
00:14:31.57\00:14:35.57
AND THE DEVIL
HOLDS PEOPLE CAPTIVE.
00:14:35.60\00:14:39.77
HE ENSLAVES PEOPLE. HE
ENSLAVED THE WHOLE NATION OF
00:14:39.81\00:14:41.58
ISRAEL. HE DIDN'T
WANT TO LET THEM GO.
00:14:41.61\00:14:43.91
THE PHARAOH SAID, 'I DON'T
KNOW WHO THE LORD IS AND I'M NOT
00:14:43.95\00:14:45.85
GOING TO LET ISRAEL GO.' AND
THAT'S LIKE THE DEVIL, HE SAYS
00:14:45.88\00:14:48.95
WE'RE HIS SLAVES AND HE
DOESN'T WANT TO LET US GO.
00:14:48.98\00:14:51.59
THE DEVIL'S GOT PEOPLE ENSLAVED
EVERYWHERE. IS IT - IT COULD BE
00:14:51.62\00:14:55.59
FOOD, IT COULD BE DRUGS, SOME
PEOPLE ARE ADDICTED TO THEIR
00:14:55.62\00:14:59.09
WORK. THEY ARE WORKAHOLICS
- WE KIND OF PRAISE THEM.
00:14:59.13\00:15:01.90
SOME PEOPLE GET IN
THESE ADDICTIVE RELATIONSHIPS.
00:15:01.93\00:15:04.77
IT'S SEX FOR OTHER PEOPLE.
SOME ARE ADDICTED TO SHOPPING.
00:15:04.80\00:15:09.47
I KNOW PEOPLE THAT BUY THINGS
- THEY DON'T EVEN OPEN THEM AND
00:15:09.50\00:15:12.01
THEY GO BUY
SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S TRUE.
00:15:12.04\00:15:15.24
BUT THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY BE
FREE - JESUS SAID, 'IF THE SON
00:15:15.28\00:15:18.21
WILL MAKE YOU FREE,
THEN YOU'LL BE FREE INDEED.'
00:15:18.25\00:15:21.48
ANSWER D: HE IS CALLED THE - AND
THIS IS REVELATION 12, VERSE 10
00:15:21.52\00:15:27.69
- THE DEVIL IS CALLED "THE
ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN IS CAST
00:15:27.72\00:15:31.96
DOWN, WHICH ACCUSED THEM
BEFORE OUR GOD DAY AND NIGHT."
00:15:31.99\00:15:36.93
THE DEVIL IS CONSTANTLY
ACCUSING THOSE WHO FOLLOW GOD.
00:15:36.97\00:15:39.87
HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK OF JOB?
THE BOOK OF JOB BEGINS BY THE
00:15:39.90\00:15:43.91
DEVIL COMING BEFORE THE
LORD AND HE'S ACCUSING JOB.
00:15:43.94\00:15:47.68
AND HE SAID, 'OH, THE ONLY
REASON JOB SERVES YOU IS BECAUSE
00:15:47.71\00:15:50.25
YOU HEDGE HIM AND YOU PROTECT
HIM WITH YOUR ANGELS.' YOU KNOW
00:15:50.28\00:15:52.68
GOD PROTECTS US. THE
DEVIL SAID, 'TAKE AWAY HIS
00:15:52.71\00:15:55.02
ANGELS HE'LL CURSE YOU.' NOW
WHENEVER - THE DEVIL WILL TELL
00:15:55.05\00:15:58.95
YOU TO DO SOMETHING WRONG AND
HE'LL TURN YOU IN FOR DOING IT.
00:15:58.99\00:16:01.76
HE'S PRETTY BAD. THE BIBLE SAYS
IN JOHN 8:44, FURTHERMORE IT
00:16:01.79\00:16:09.60
SAYS, "HE WAS A" - A WHAT?
"A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING."
00:16:09.63\00:16:14.30
HE WOULD HAVE PULLED GOD FROM
HIS THRONE IF HE COULD HAVE.
00:16:14.34\00:16:17.17
HE'S THE ONE WHO INSPIRED
CAIN TO KILL HIS BROTHER ABEL.
00:16:17.21\00:16:21.31
NOT ONLY IS HE A MURDERER, HE
IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT.
00:16:21.34\00:16:25.85
WHEN IS THE DEVIL
THE MOST DANGEROUS?
00:16:25.88\00:16:28.55
THE ANSWER IS IN 2 CORINTHIANS
11, VERSES 14 AND 15.
00:16:28.58\00:16:33.19
IT SAYS, "AND NO MARVEL;
FOR SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED
00:16:33.22\00:16:38.26
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT."
MOST OF PEOPLE'S CONCEPTS OF THE
00:16:38.29\00:16:43.20
DEVIL, THEY COME FROM MYTHOLOGY.
AND WE ALL SEE THESE PICTURES OF
00:16:43.23\00:16:48.04
THE RED DEVIL - IT
DOESN'T SAY HE'S RED.
00:16:48.07\00:16:49.77
HE WANTS TO LOOK LIKE A HIDEOUS
MONSTER, BUT WHEN HE CAME TO
00:16:49.80\00:16:52.94
JESUS THERE TO TEMPT HIM, DO
YOU THINK HE PLOPPED DOWN ON THE
00:16:52.97\00:16:55.28
GROUND AND HE HAD HIS POINTY
TAIL AND HIS GOAT FEET AND HIS
00:16:55.31\00:16:58.11
HORNS AND HIS BEARD? HE
OBVIOUSLY LOOKED LIKE AN
00:16:58.15\00:17:01.18
ANGEL OF LIGHT. 'I'VE
COME FROM THE FATHER AND
00:17:01.22\00:17:03.12
IF YOU'RE THE SON, TURN THESE
STONES INTO BREAD.' HE APPEARS
00:17:03.15\00:17:07.16
AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. THE
DEVIL IS MOST EFFECTIVE IN
00:17:07.19\00:17:10.26
FIGHTING AGAINST CHRISTIANITY
BY GOING IN THE CHURCH.
00:17:10.29\00:17:14.46
HE HAS HIS JUDASES JUST
LIKE JESUS DID - THAT ARE ON THE
00:17:14.46\00:17:17.70
INSIDE - THEY'RE HYPOCRITES.
ALL OF US PLAY THE PART OF THE
00:17:17.73\00:17:21.27
HYPOCRITE SOMETIMES. DO
NOT BE SURPRISED BY THAT.
00:17:21.30\00:17:25.51
AND THE DEVIL WILL OFTEN
DO SOMETHING - HE'LL POINT
00:17:25.54\00:17:27.74
EVERYWHERE ELSE AND BLAME
EVERYONE ELSE AND HE IS THE
00:17:27.78\00:17:30.25
AUTHOR OF IT. HE'S OFTEN RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE CAUSING ALL THE
00:17:30.28\00:17:33.38
PROBLEMS AND POINTING EVERYWHERE
ELSE. HE USES DIVERSIONARY
00:17:33.42\00:17:36.25
TACTICS AND HE'S THE AUTHOR
OF SO MUCH OF THAT CONFUSION.
00:17:36.28\00:17:39.69
THAT'S WHAT JUDAS SAID WHEN
MARY WAS ANOINTING HIS FEET.
00:17:39.72\00:17:43.43
JUDAS SAID, 'OH, IF THAT MONEY
HAD BEEN GIVEN TO THE POOR.
00:17:43.46\00:17:48.50
WE COULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH MORE
WITH THAT MONEY THAT MARY WASTED
00:17:48.53\00:17:50.70
ON OINTMENT FOR JESUS' FEET.'
AND HERE JUDAS WAS STEALING THE
00:17:50.73\00:17:53.60
MONEY - AND HE'S THE TREASURER!
YOU'VE HEARD THAT HAPPEN BEFORE,
00:17:53.64\00:17:57.17
RIGHT? SO THE
DEVIL, JESUS SAID IN
00:17:57.21\00:18:01.78
MATTHEW 7:15, IS OFTEN A
WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
00:18:01.81\00:18:07.08
THERE ARE MANY LOVELY, GOOD
PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH, BUT WE ALL
00:18:07.12\00:18:09.55
KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THEY
FAIL. DON'T LOOK AT PEOPLE.
00:18:09.58\00:18:12.42
THE DEVIL HAS WOLVES IN SHEEP'S
CLOTHING AND SOME OF THEM QUOTE
00:18:12.45\00:18:15.96
THE BIBLE. THAT'S
OUR NEXT QUESTION - #7:
00:18:15.99\00:18:18.43
DOES SATAN KNOW
THE BIBLE? >>YES.
00:18:18.46\00:18:21.50
>>YEAH, YOU READ ABOUT WHEN
JESUS WAS TEMPTED AGAIN - AND
00:18:21.53\00:18:24.37
THAT'S IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 4,
VERSES 5 AND 6, "AND THE DEVIL
00:18:24.40\00:18:28.47
SAID UNTO HIM, 'IF YOU ARE THE
SON OF GOD, CAST YOURSELF DOWN:
00:18:28.50\00:18:33.51
FOR IT IS WRITTEN, HE SHALL GIVE
HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER YOU.'"
00:18:33.54\00:18:38.41
AND THE DEVIL'S NOW QUOTING FROM
PSALM 91, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE
00:18:38.45\00:18:40.38
DID? HE LEFT
PART OF IT OUT - THE
00:18:40.42\00:18:43.08
PART THAT SAYS, 'TO KEEP YOU
IN ALL YOUR WAYS.' HE LEFT THAT
00:18:43.12\00:18:45.92
OUT. HE MISQUOTED THE SCRIPTURE.
00:18:45.95\00:18:47.42
BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL JESUS, JESUS
QUOTED THE SCRIPTURE RIGHT BACK
00:18:47.46\00:18:49.59
TO THE BIBLE - RIGHT BACK TO THE
DEVIL. WHAT IS OUR BEST DEFENSE
00:18:49.62\00:18:53.33
AGAINST SATAN'S TEMPTATIONS?
EVERY TIME JESUS WAS TEMPTED
00:18:53.36\00:18:57.57
HE SAID, 'IT IS
WRITTEN. IT IS WRITTEN.
00:18:57.60\00:19:01.14
IT IS WRITTEN.' AND HE FOUGHT
THE DEVIL OFF WITH THE WORD OF
00:19:01.17\00:19:04.71
GOD. THAT IS OUR
BEST SAFETY FRIENDS.
00:19:04.74\00:19:07.41
WHOM ON EARTH DOES
THE DEVIL HATE THE MOST?
00:19:07.44\00:19:11.48
ANSWER: REVELATION CHAPTER 12,
VERSE 17, "AND THE DRAGON WAS
00:19:11.51\00:19:16.22
WROTH WITH THE" - NOW WHAT
DID WE SAY A WOMAN REPRESENTS IN
00:19:16.25\00:19:20.09
PROPHECY? A CHURCH.
00:19:20.12\00:19:21.99
HE'S ENRAGED WITH GOD'S BRIDE
- THE CHURCH - "AND WENT TO MAKE
00:19:22.02\00:19:25.89
WAR WITH THE REMNANT" -
THE REMAINDER - "OF (HER
00:19:25.93\00:19:29.53
DESCENDENTS) HER SEED" - TWO
OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS -
00:19:29.56\00:19:32.70
"WHICH KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD, AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:19:32.73\00:19:36.81
JESUS CHRIST."
THEY'VE GOT THE LAW AND THE
00:19:36.84\00:19:38.87
PROPHETS. THE
WORD OF GOD - AND THAT
00:19:38.91\00:19:42.21
SHOULD BE A
CHARACTERISTIC OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:19:42.24\00:19:44.21
THE WORD OF GOD IS IN
OUR HEARTS AND IN OUR MINDS.
00:19:44.25\00:19:47.22
QUESTION #9: WHAT TWO DEADLY
ANIMALS DOES THE BIBLE USE TO
00:19:47.25\00:19:52.12
PORTRAY SATAN? YOU CAN
FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS
00:19:52.15\00:19:55.39
IN 1 PETER CHAPTER 5, VERSE 8,
"BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE
00:19:55.42\00:20:01.96
YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL"
- IS GOING AROUND AS WHAT?
00:20:02.00\00:20:06.27
- "A ROARING LION...SEEKING WHOM
HE MAY DEVOUR:" THE DEVIL IS OUT
00:20:06.30\00:20:11.74
TO DESTROY AND TO
HARM AS MANY AS HE CAN.
00:20:11.77\00:20:15.64
AND PETER TELLS US WE NEED TO
BE SOBER, BE AWARE, BE VIGILANT.
00:20:15.68\00:20:20.15
HOW DO - HOW DO WE
BEHAVE IN A VIGILANT WAY?
00:20:20.18\00:20:23.12
JESUS SAID, 'WATCH AND PRAY
LEST YOU ENTER INTO TEMPTATION.
00:20:23.15\00:20:26.96
WE NEED TO SPEND TIME IN PRAYER
WITH GOD, GIVE OURSELVES TO GOD,
00:20:26.99\00:20:30.63
ASK FOR HIS PROTECTION EVERY DAY
AND GOD WILL DO THINGS FOR YOU
00:20:30.66\00:20:35.30
WHEN YOU PRAY THAT HE OTHERWISE
WILL NOT DO IF YOU DON'T PRAY.
00:20:35.33\00:20:38.37
PRAYER DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE,
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, 'ASK AND
00:20:38.40\00:20:41.64
YOU WILL RECEIVE.' THAT MEANS,
DON'T ASK, YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE,
00:20:41.67\00:20:46.21
RIGHT? AND SO WE
NEED TO BE PRAYING -
00:20:46.24\00:20:49.34
BE VIGILANT. LIONS
CAN BE PRETTY FEROCIOUS
00:20:49.38\00:20:54.58
AND GOD KEPT
DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN.
00:20:54.62\00:20:57.75
THE LIONS DIDN'T HURT
HIM BECAUSE GOD WAS WITH HIM.
00:20:57.79\00:20:59.59
GOD CAN KEEP YOU FROM
THE LION IF YOU TRUST IN HIM.
00:20:59.62\00:21:03.29
LIONS USE DECEPTION TOO.
REVELATION 12 - WHAT'S THE OTHER
00:21:03.32\00:21:07.10
ANIMAL THAT THE DEVIL
IS SOMETIMES COMPARED TO?
00:21:07.13\00:21:10.33
"AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS
CAST OUT, THAT OLD SERPENT,
00:21:10.37\00:21:15.20
CALLED THE DEVIL, AND SATAN."
00:21:15.24\00:21:17.11
NO QUESTION WHO THE SERPENT
REPRESENTS, IT TELLS YOU RIGHT
00:21:17.14\00:21:19.44
HERE IT REPRESENTS THE DRAGON,
THE SERPENT - HE IS THE DEVIL -
00:21:19.47\00:21:23.68
HE IS SATAN. THOSE ARE
THE TERMS IN THE BIBLE.
00:21:23.71\00:21:25.75
MATTER OF FACT, YOU'LL FIND SOME
PSALMS IN THE BIBLE. IT SAYS,
00:21:25.78\00:21:28.32
'GOD WILL GIVE YOU VICTORY
OVER THE LION AND THE SERPENT.
00:21:28.35\00:21:31.95
AND IT'S - THOSE ARE METAPHORS
FOR THE DEVIL IN THE BIBLE.
00:21:31.99\00:21:36.39
WHAT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT WE
CAN SUCCESSFULLY RESIST SATAN?
00:21:36.42\00:21:41.10
JAMES - AND THIS IS IN YOUR
BIBLE - JAMES CHAPTER 4, VERSES
00:21:41.13\00:21:45.33
7 AND 9 - AND I QUOTED THIS
TO YOU EARLIER - ANSWER: "SUBMIT
00:21:45.37\00:21:49.17
YOURSELVES THEREFORE TO GOD.
RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL
00:21:49.20\00:21:53.61
FLEE FROM YOU." IT GOES
ON TO SAY IN THAT VERSE,
00:21:53.64\00:21:56.38
"DRAW NIGH TO GOD, AND
HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU."
00:21:56.41\00:22:00.75
YOU KNOW, AS YOU'RE COMING TO
THESE MEETINGS, WHETHER YOU'RE
00:22:00.78\00:22:03.15
WATCHING OR YOU'RE HERE,
YOU ARE TAKING STEPS WHERE
00:22:03.18\00:22:05.75
YOU ARE DRAWING CLOSE TO GOD.
00:22:05.79\00:22:07.56
HE'S GOING TO TOUCH
YOUR HEART WITH HIS WORD.
00:22:07.59\00:22:09.72
HE WILL DRAW CLOSE TO
YOU. HE WILL BLESS YOU.
00:22:09.76\00:22:12.23
YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF THINKING
ABOUT THE THINGS YOU'RE STUDYING
00:22:12.26\00:22:14.56
DURING YOUR DAY AND
THAT'S GOD DRAWING NEAR TO YOU.
00:22:14.56\00:22:18.40
QUESTION #11: HOW DID JESUS
FIGHT THE ASSAULTS OF THE DEVIL?
00:22:18.43\00:22:22.37
ANSWER: IT'S FOUND IN MATTHEW
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 10, "THEN SAITH
00:22:22.40\00:22:27.74
JESUS UNTO HIM, 'GET THEE HENCE,
SATAN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN.'" NOW
00:22:27.78\00:22:33.52
I TOUCHED ON THIS ALREADY BUT I
CAN'T OVER STATE THE IMPORTANCE
00:22:33.55\00:22:36.95
AND THE POWER
OF THE WORD OF GOD.
00:22:36.99\00:22:40.19
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 12,
"FOR THE WORD OF GOD" - AND THIS
00:22:40.22\00:22:44.46
IS ADDITIONAL - "FOR THE WORD OF
GOD IS QUICK, AND POWERFUL, AND
00:22:44.49\00:22:47.40
SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED
SWORD." JESUS, IN REVELATION,
00:22:47.46\00:22:50.63
COMES - ONE OF THE SYMBOLS HE'S
COMING WITH A SWORD COMING OUT
00:22:50.67\00:22:54.57
OF HIS MOUTH. QUESTION
#12: HOW WILL THE FINAL
00:22:54.60\00:22:58.07
FATE OF SATAN
RESEMBLE THAT OF ABSALOM?
00:22:58.11\00:23:01.81
GOING BACK TO THE STORY WHERE WE
BEGAN, YOU REMEMBER IT SAYS THAT
00:23:01.84\00:23:05.71
AFTER ABSALOM WAS SLAIN, THEY
TOOK HIM DOWN AND THEY FOUND A
00:23:05.75\00:23:10.45
PIT IN THE WOODS AND THEY CAST
HIM IN THIS PIT - AND THAT'S IN
00:23:10.49\00:23:15.12
2 SAMUEL 18, VERSE 17, "AND THEY
TOOK ABSALOM, AND CAST HIM INTO
00:23:15.16\00:23:20.16
A GREAT PIT." NOW I'M
EMPHASIZING THAT BECAUSE
00:23:20.20\00:23:23.83
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE WHAT THE
BIBLE SAYS IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO
00:23:23.87\00:23:26.07
LUCIFER. ABSALOM IS
CAST INTO A PIT, THEY
00:23:26.10\00:23:29.50
DON'T MARK HIS GRAVE.
ABSALOM WANTED TO BE REMEMBERED.
00:23:29.54\00:23:33.07
IF YOU GO TO JERUSALEM, IN THE -
I THINK IT'S THE KIDRON VALLEY -
00:23:33.11\00:23:37.38
THERE IS THIS MONUMENT OF
ABSALOM'S - AND YOU CAN READ
00:23:37.41\00:23:39.85
ABOUT THIS IN 2 SAMUEL 18:18,
"NOW ABSALOM IN HIS LIFETIME HAD
00:23:39.88\00:23:43.95
TAKEN AND REARED UP FOR HIMSELF
A PILLAR, WHICH IS IN THE KING'S
00:23:43.99\00:23:46.92
DALE:" - HE WAS AFRAID HE'D BE
FORGOTTEN SO HE MADE A MONUMENT
00:23:46.96\00:23:49.79
TO HIMSELF AND THAT'S
SUPPOSEDLY THE MONUMENT TO
00:23:49.82\00:23:53.66
ABSALOM. WHAT
HAPPENS TO LUCIFER,
00:23:53.70\00:23:56.20
ACCORDING TO THE
BIBLE, IS VERY SIMILAR.
00:23:56.23\00:23:58.60
YOU CAN READ, IT SAYS - ISAIAH
14, VERSE 15 - "YET THOU SHALT
00:23:58.63\00:24:03.81
BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL,
TO THE SIDES OF THE PIT."
00:24:03.84\00:24:08.44
GOD IS GOING TO BRING FORTH A
FIRE FROM THE MIDST OF HIM AND
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.05
DEVOUR HIM.
QUESTION #13: WILL SATAN EVER
00:24:11.08\00:24:15.85
REAPPEAR TO TEMPT
GOD'S PEOPLE AGAIN?
00:24:15.88\00:24:20.26
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
AFTER HE'S DESTROYED, THE BIBLE
00:24:20.29\00:24:23.06
SAYS WE'LL NOT HAVE TO WORRY
THROUGH ETERNITY ABOUT THE DEVIL
00:24:23.09\00:24:26.39
COMING BACK OR ESCAPING
FROM SOMEWHERE AND GOING ON A
00:24:26.43\00:24:29.00
RAMPAGE. EZEKIEL
28:19, "...NEVER SHALT
00:24:29.03\00:24:33.20
THOU BE ANY MORE."
WON'T THAT BE NICE TO BE IN
00:24:33.23\00:24:35.87
HEAVEN AND NEVER
WORRY ABOUT THAT AGAIN?
00:24:35.90\00:24:38.14
WILL WE HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT SIN EVER HAPPENING AGAIN?
00:24:38.17\00:24:40.78
NO, NO ONE WILL EVER DOUBT
GOD'S LOVE AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS
00:24:40.81\00:24:43.24
TERRIBLE EXPERIMENT THAT
WAS INSTIGATED BY THE DEVIL.
00:24:43.28\00:24:46.41
THE BOOK OF NAHUM CHAPTER 1,
VERSE 9, "AFFLICTION SHALL NOT
00:24:46.45\00:24:50.22
RISE UP THE SECOND TIME."
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
00:24:50.25\00:24:55.29
QUESTION #14: HOW DOES GOD FEEL
ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
00:24:55.32\00:24:59.36
WICKED? YOU KNOW,
GOD IS LOVE, AND EVEN
00:24:59.39\00:25:03.13
THOUGH HE MUST DEAL WITH SATAN
AND SINNERS, IT'S NOT SOMETHING
00:25:03.16\00:25:06.43
HE ENJOYS. HE DOESN'T
WANT ANYONE TO PERISH.
00:25:06.47\00:25:09.44
YOU READ IN EZEKIEL 33, VERSE
11, "SAY UNTO THEM, 'AS I LIVE,
00:25:09.47\00:25:14.38
SAITH THE LORD GOD, I HAVE
NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF THE
00:25:14.41\00:25:19.08
WICKED.'" GOD DOESN'T WANT US TO
00:25:19.11\00:25:20.82
DIE. HE DOESN'T
WANT US TO BE LOST.
00:25:20.85\00:25:23.28
JESUS CAME TO SAVE US FROM SATAN
AND FROM SIN - THEY GO TOGETHER.
00:25:23.32\00:25:28.32
BUT HE SAYS THAT THE WICKED
TURN FROM HIS WAY AND LIVE.
00:25:28.36\00:25:33.90
'TURN YE, TURN YE FROM YOUR
EVIL WAYS. WHY WILL YOU DIE?'
00:25:33.93\00:25:39.27
JESUS WANTS TO GIVE US POWER
AGAINST EVIL. HE WANTS TO SET AN
00:25:39.30\00:25:43.27
ANGEL HEDGE ABOUT YOU TO
PROTECT YOU. NOW SOME OF YOU ARE
00:25:43.30\00:25:47.44
THINKING, 'OH,
PASTOR DOUG, YOU DON'T KNOW.
00:25:47.48\00:25:50.18
I AM SO BOUND BY HABITS AND
TEMPTATION AND MY LIFE HAS BEEN
00:25:50.21\00:25:53.05
SO OUT OF CONTROL AND SUCH A
MESS.' IT'S NO PROBLEM FOR GOD.
00:25:53.08\00:25:57.12
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS 'ALL
THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.'
00:25:57.15\00:26:00.76
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HOW THE LORD
CAN GIVE YOU A NEW BIRTH AND
00:26:00.79\00:26:04.26
MAKE YOU A NEW CREATURE.
YES HE CAN. DON'T GIVE THE DEVIL
00:26:04.29\00:26:07.66
MORE CREDIT - DON'T MAKE YOUR
DEVIL STRONGER THAN YOUR GOD.
00:26:07.66\00:26:11.03
THE BIBLE TELLS US 'GREATER IS
HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT
00:26:11.07\00:26:14.47
IS IN THE WORLD.'
YES, HE CAN SAVE YOU.
00:26:14.50\00:26:16.87
WHEN ABSALOM DIED, HOW
DID KING DAVID RESPOND?
00:26:16.91\00:26:21.48
WHEN DAVID GOT THE NEWS, EVEN
THOUGH HIS SON WAS TRYING TO
00:26:21.51\00:26:24.25
KILL HIM, WHEN HE GOT THE
NEWS THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL SON HAD
00:26:24.28\00:26:27.02
DIED, YOU CAN READ IN 2 SAMUEL
18:33, "AND THE KING WAS MUCH
00:26:27.05\00:26:32.12
MOVED, AND WENT UP TO THE
CHAMBER OVER THE GATE, AND WEPT:
00:26:32.15\00:26:38.23
AND AS HE WENT, THUS HE SAID, 'O
MY SON ABSALOM, MY SON, MY SON
00:26:38.26\00:26:43.87
ABSALOM! WOULD GOD
I HAD DIED FOR THEE, O
00:26:43.90\00:26:48.14
ABSALOM, MY SON, MY
SON!'" LOOK AT THE LOVE OF THIS
00:26:48.17\00:26:53.34
ERRING EARTHLY FATHER FOR HIS
REBELLIOUS SON - HOW HIS HEART
00:26:53.38\00:26:57.91
WAS BROKEN. HOW
MUCH MUST GOD LOVE YOU IN
00:26:57.95\00:27:00.82
THAT HE WILLINGLY GAVE HIS SON?
THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS DOESN'T
00:27:00.85\00:27:05.75
WANT ANY OF US TO
PERISH, FRIENDS, AMEN?
00:27:05.79\00:27:08.49
>>AMEN. >>HE
WANTS US ALL TO HAVE
00:27:08.52\00:27:10.13
ETERNAL LIFE. THE
DEVIL WANTS TO DESTROY US.
00:27:10.16\00:27:13.19
HE IS A THIEF. HE IS A VILLAIN.
HE HAS NO HEART. HE WANTS TO
00:27:13.23\00:27:17.13
BRING SUFFERING, BUT JESUS CAME
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SAVE US.
00:27:17.17\00:27:23.10

ABOUT THAT. I
DIDN'T FEEL CONDEMNED.
00:27:32.95\00:27:34.35
>>I BEGAN
READING THE BIBLE AND -
00:27:34.38\00:27:36.99
>>I GOT BAPTIZED INTO
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST -
00:27:37.02\00:27:39.09

>>AND THEN THE LOGO POPS
ACROSS AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS.
00:27:54.50\00:27:58.27
I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT OF
DIFFERENT MINISTERS, BUT THIS
00:27:58.31\00:28:00.78
WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S
ACTUALLY SAYING SOMETHING WHERE
00:28:00.81\00:28:03.75
I HAD TO GRAB MY BIBLE AND
ACTUALLY PICK IT UP AND I'VE
00:28:03.78\00:28:07.82
NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE. LET ME
- LET ME LOOK THROUGH AND FIND
00:28:07.85\00:28:10.52

>>AND SO I STARTED
DOING BIBLE STUDIES.
00:28:12.02\00:28:13.89
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE GUYS
STARTED BEING CHANGED, INCLUDING

MYSELF. >>MY
QUESTION WAS, 'WHY DID
00:28:18.09\00:28:21.00
THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?'
THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT
00:28:21.03\00:28:23.97
AND - AND I
ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS A FATHER.
00:28:24.00\00:28:26.74
