AN ANGEL THAT EVEN
COULD BECOME A DEVIL?
00:01:16.04\00:01:18.04
WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TAKE A
DIFFERENT PATTERN OFF THE WALL
00:01:18.07\00:01:20.34
AND SAY, 'I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE
THAT WILL NEVER BECOME A DEVIL'?

FACTS PRESENTS. >>I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER
00:01:41.26\00:01:50.14
THIS NOTORIOUS CHARACTER
FROM MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA.
00:01:50.17\00:01:53.68
I DID A SERIES OF MEETINGS IN
COLOMBIA, AND HE WAS SOMETHING
00:01:53.71\00:01:58.81
OF A HERO THERE - PABLO ESCOBAR.
00:01:58.85\00:02:04.19
HE WAS THE LARGEST
DRUG DEALER IN HISTORY.
00:02:04.22\00:02:09.46
AND, AT ONE TIME - MATTER
OF FACT, I'VE GOT A FEW AMAZING
00:02:09.49\00:02:11.06
FACTS HERE - I DON'T WANT
TO FORGET THEM, SO I'M GOING TO
00:02:11.09\00:02:13.53
READ SOME OF
THESE THINGS TO YOU.
00:02:13.56\00:02:15.20
AT ONE TIME HE WAS BELIEVED TO
BE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
00:02:15.23\00:02:18.80
HE HAD, BACK THEN,
30 BILLION DOLLARS.
00:02:18.83\00:02:20.90
BY TODAY'S STANDARDS IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 50 BILLION
00:02:20.94\00:02:23.27
DOLLARS. IN THE
80S, THE DEMAND WAS SO
00:02:23.30\00:02:26.88
HIGH THAT, AT ONE POINT, PABLO
ESCOBAR AND HIS MEDELLIN CARTEL,
00:02:26.91\00:02:31.75
SELLING MOSTLY COCAINE,
WAS DELIVERING 15 TONS OF
00:02:31.78\00:02:35.18
COCAINE TO THE U.S. EACH DAY.
00:02:35.22\00:02:38.52
THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF TWO
AFRICAN ELEPHANTS - OF COCAINE.
00:02:38.55\00:02:42.49
DURING THIS ZENITH OF THE DRUG
TRADE, HE WAS MAKING 60 MILLION
00:02:42.52\00:02:47.76
DOLLARS A DAY IN
COCAINE - SELLING COCAINE.
00:02:47.83\00:02:53.23
IN FACT, I WAS READING THAT HE
HAD SO MUCH CASH - HE SPENT OVER
00:02:53.27\00:02:57.91
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH ON
RUBBER BANDS TO BUNDLE THE CASH.
00:02:57.94\00:03:04.71
HE HAD SO MUCH CASH HOARDED
AWAY IN TROPICAL BARNS THAT HE
00:03:04.75\00:03:10.59
FIGURED HE LOST 2 MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR TO RATS THAT
00:03:10.62\00:03:14.69
NIBBLED AWAY - AND
MOLD - MOLDING MONEY.
00:03:14.72\00:03:19.46
HE OWNED 5,000 ACRES OF
LAND NEAR A SMALL COLOMBIAN TOWN
00:03:19.49\00:03:22.80
WHERE HE BUILT A LIITTLE UTOPIA
- 20-ROOM MANSION - WHERE HE'D
00:03:22.83\00:03:25.97
INVITE - HE'D JUST PAY AND HE'D
HAVE GREAT MUSICIANS AND PEOPLE
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.27
FROM AROUND THE WORLD COMING.
HE HAD HIS OWN BULL RING - HIS
00:03:28.30\00:03:31.04
OWN ZOO WITH HIPPOS, GIRAFFES,
AND ELEPHANTS. IN ALL, IT'S SAID
00:03:31.07\00:03:37.21
THAT HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR
APPROXIMATELY 4,000 DEATHS,
00:03:37.25\00:03:40.88
INCLUDING JUDGES AND A COLOMBIAN
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
00:03:40.92\00:03:45.25
BUT HE WAS NEVER SATISFIED WITH
ALL THAT MONEY AND THAT POWER.
00:03:45.29\00:03:48.86
HE WANTED TO BE
LOVED BY THE PEOPLE.
00:03:48.89\00:03:50.56
HE WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT OF
THE COUNTRY, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE
00:03:50.59\00:03:52.76
THAT. AND HE
STARTED GIVING MONEY TO
00:03:52.79\00:03:56.00
ALL THESE POOR VILLAGES AND
FOR SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC WORKS.
00:03:56.03\00:03:59.83
HE COULDN'T SPEND
HIS MONEY FAST ENOUGH.
00:03:59.87\00:04:01.67
AND THEY ALL LOVED HIM.
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A HERO - NOT
00:04:01.70\00:04:03.74
ALL - MANY PEOPLE LOVED
HIM. HE RAN FOR CONGRESS AND
00:04:03.77\00:04:06.31
GOT ELECTED, BUT
HE WASN'T SATISFIED.
00:04:06.34\00:04:09.81
HE WANTED MORE POWER AND HE
WANTED MORE AND HE WANTED MORE
00:04:09.84\00:04:12.48
AND WHEN SOME OF THE OTHER
PEOPLE IN POLITICS STARTED TO
00:04:12.51\00:04:15.08
INVESTIGATE HIM MORE
CAREFULLY, HE HAD THEM KILLED.
00:04:15.12\00:04:21.69
AND HE HAD A SAYING, 'MONEY -
SILVER - OR DO YOU WANT BULLETS
00:04:21.72\00:04:26.56
- LEAD?' AND HE GAVE
EVERYBODY THE CHOICE.
00:04:26.59\00:04:29.83
HE SAYS, 'I'LL EITHER PAY
YOU AND YOU CAN COOPERATE AND GO
00:04:29.86\00:04:32.00
ALONG WITH ME, OR YOU'RE
DEAD.' AND WHEN JUDGES BEGAN TO
00:04:32.03\00:04:35.94
INVESTIGATE HIM OR PEOPLE WERE
GOING TO TESTIFY AGAINST HIM,
00:04:35.97\00:04:39.17
SUDDENLY THEY ENDED UP DYING.
WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WAS RUNNING
00:04:39.21\00:04:42.48
AGAINST HIM, THEY
WERE ASSASSINATED.
00:04:42.51\00:04:45.65
AND - 4,000 MURDERS -
WASN'T HAPPY - MORE, MORE, MORE.
00:04:45.68\00:04:51.49
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT REMINDS US
OF THE CHARACTER THAT PROBABLY
00:04:51.52\00:04:53.49
INSPIRED PEOPLE LIKE ESCOBAR
- SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS LIKE
00:04:53.52\00:04:58.29
HITLER AND STALIN THAT JUST ARE
- HAVE AN INSATIABLE DESIRE TO
00:04:58.33\00:05:03.06
BE THE GREATEST, TO HAVE
MORE POWER, TO HAVE MORE MONEY.
00:05:03.10\00:05:07.17
AND IT REMINDS US ABOUT THE
ORIGIN OF THAT ARCH FIEND THAT
00:05:07.20\00:05:13.07
WE READ ABOUT IN THE BIBLE.
DEALING WITH THE VILLAIN OF
00:05:13.11\00:05:16.54
REVELATION - IN FACT, HE'S
THE VILLAIN OF THE WHOLE BIBLE -
00:05:16.58\00:05:20.45
BETTER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
FIRST QUESTION WE'RE GOING TO
00:05:20.48\00:05:24.35
ASK TONIGHT IS, 'WITH
WHOM DID SIN ORIGINATE?
00:05:24.39\00:05:27.96
YOU KNOW, JESUS CAME
TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.
00:05:27.99\00:05:29.89
WHY IS THERE SIN IN THE
WORLD? IF GOD MADE EVERYTHING
00:05:29.92\00:05:32.39
GOOD, WHY DO WE SIN?
WHERE DID SIN COME FROM?
00:05:32.43\00:05:35.90
PEOPLE SOMETIMES SAY,
'WHO HAD THE FIRST COLD?'
00:05:35.93\00:05:39.17
'WHO HAD THE
FIRST CASE OF AIDS?'
00:05:39.20\00:05:42.14
WHERE DO THESE THINGS
COME FROM? IT'S LIKE A MYSTERY.
00:05:42.17\00:05:44.34
WELL, THE BIBLE
GIVES US THESE ANSWERS.
00:05:44.37\00:05:47.18
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 12,
VERSE 9 - IT REFERS TO HIM AS
00:05:47.21\00:05:50.65
"THAT OLD SERPENT,
CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN."
00:05:50.68\00:05:54.48
AND SO, HERE HE IS CALLED
'THE SERPENT', HE'S CALLED 'THE
00:05:54.52\00:05:57.22
DEVIL,' HE CALLED 'SATAN,' AND
HE'S ALSO CALLED 'THE DRAGON.'
00:05:57.25\00:06:01.02
AND SO, SATAN ORIGINATED,
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, NOT HERE ON
00:06:01.06\00:06:05.13
EARTH, BUT UP IN HEAVEN.
THE BIBLE SAYS 'THE DEVIL
00:06:05.16\00:06:09.10
SINNETH FROM THE BEGINNING.'
SIN ORIGINATED WITH SATAN.
00:06:09.13\00:06:14.27
SATAN IS THAT ARCH
FIEND. HE IS VERY REAL.
00:06:14.30\00:06:17.44
I BELIEVE THAT NOT ONLY
DOES GOD SEND GOOD ANGELS TO OUR
00:06:17.47\00:06:21.68
MEETINGS, I BELIEVE THE DEVIL
TRIES TO SEND REPRESENTATIVES TO
00:06:21.71\00:06:24.55
DISTRACT AND KEEP
PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE WORD.
00:06:24.58\00:06:27.35
THERE ARE
BATTLES THAT ARE RAGING.
00:06:27.38\00:06:29.32
PAUL TALKS ABOUT US NOT
WRESTLING AGAINST FLESH AND
00:06:29.35\00:06:31.95
BLOOD, BUT AGAINST
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS,
00:06:31.99\00:06:34.39
SPIRITUAL FORCES OF
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
00:06:34.42\00:06:37.53
THERE IS A GOD.
THERE ARE GOOD ANGELS.
00:06:37.56\00:06:40.86
AND THERE IS A DEVIL - THERE
IS AN EVIL POWER IN THE WORLD.
00:06:40.90\00:06:44.13
I THINK, AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENED IN HISTORY, YOU'D HAVE
00:06:44.17\00:06:48.30
TO SAY THAT THERE IS EVIL.
00:06:48.34\00:06:50.44
YOU LOOK AT WHAT SOME TERRORISTS
DO OR THEY PUT A PERSON IN A
00:06:50.47\00:06:52.74
CAGE AND DOUSE THEM WITH
GASOLINE AND VIDEOTAPE AS THEY
00:06:52.77\00:06:56.28
SET THEM ON FIRE -
THAT IS JUST INCARNATE EVIL.
00:06:56.31\00:07:00.85
ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE
TURN TO GOD IS, THEY SAY, 'YOU
00:07:00.88\00:07:02.88
KNOW, I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT
GOD, BUT WHEN I BECAME CONVINCED
00:07:02.92\00:07:05.55
THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTE EVIL,
THEN I THOUGHT, 'THERE MUST BE
00:07:05.59\00:07:09.16
GOOD. THERE
MUST BE GOD.' >>AMEN.
00:07:09.19\00:07:11.83
>>AND WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE
EVIDENCE FOR EVIL IN THE WORLD.
00:07:11.86\00:07:14.76
SO WHAT WAS SATAN'S
NAME BEFORE HE SINNED?
00:07:14.83\00:07:17.93
AND WHERE WAS HE
LIVING AT THAT TIME?
00:07:17.97\00:07:20.50
TWO OF THE PRINCIPLE PASSAGES IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT THAT TELL US
00:07:20.54\00:07:23.91
ABOUT THE DEVIL - YOU CAN FIND A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM, OF COURSE,
00:07:23.94\00:07:26.41
IN GENESIS, BUT
HE'S NOT CALLED BY NAME.
00:07:26.44\00:07:29.18
YOU GO TO ISAIAH 14 AND ISAIAH
BEGINS WITH A PROPHECY ABOUT THE
00:07:29.21\00:07:34.05
KING OF BABYLON AND THEN
HE TRANSITIONS INTO THE POWER
00:07:34.08\00:07:37.35
BEHIND THAT WICKED KING.
"HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,
00:07:37.39\00:07:42.76
O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING!"
- THE WORD 'LUCIFER' - IT MEANS
00:07:42.79\00:07:45.29
'LIGHT BEARER' - IT'S REALLY A
LATIN WORD. IN HEBREW IT'S MORE
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.86
LIKE 'HELIEL' - IT MEANS 'THE
MORNING STAR' - "HOW YOU ARE CUT
00:07:47.93\00:07:51.43
DOWN TO THE GROUND, YOU
WHO WEAKENED THE NATIONS!
00:07:51.47\00:07:54.10
FOR YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART, 'I
WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL
00:07:54.14\00:07:57.81
EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS
OF GOD; I WILL ALSO SIT ON THE
00:07:57.84\00:08:01.88
MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION ON
THE FARTHEST SIDES OF THE NORTH.
00:08:01.91\00:08:04.78
I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS
OF THE CLOUDS, I WILL BE LIKE
00:08:04.81\00:08:08.32
THE MOST HIGH.' YOU CAN
TELL THAT HE HAD 'I' PROBLEMS.
00:08:08.35\00:08:12.69
(LAUGHTER) I, I, I - YOU KNOW,
I'VE HEARD THAT PEOPLE IN MENTAL
00:08:12.72\00:08:17.63
INSTITUTIONS USE THE WORDS 'I,'
'ME,' 'MY,' 'MINE,' AND 'MYSELF'
00:08:17.66\00:08:22.13
FIVE TIMES MORE THAN PEOPLE
THAT ARE REGARDED AS SANE.
00:08:22.16\00:08:26.37
SELFISHNESS WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY.
00:08:26.40\00:08:30.31
AND THE VERY IDEA THAT THE
CREATURE COULD REBEL AGAINST THE
00:08:30.34\00:08:33.81
CREATOR, TO YOU AND I IT SOUNDS
INSANE BUT, SOMEHOW, HE THOUGHT
00:08:33.84\00:08:37.21
HE COULD HAVE ENOUGH
POWER TO OVERTHROW GOD.
00:08:37.25\00:08:40.32
AND, DON'T FORGET, LUCIFER WAS
VERY POWERFUL - "YOU WERE THE
00:08:40.35\00:08:44.39
SEAL OF PERFECTION, FULL OF
WISDOM AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.
00:08:44.42\00:08:48.32
YOU WERE IN EDEN, THE GARDEN
OF GOD; EVERY PRECIOUS STONE WAS
00:08:48.36\00:08:52.86
YOUR COVERING: THE SARDIUS,
TOPAZ, AND DIAMOND, BERYL, ONYX,
00:08:52.89\00:08:56.77
AND JASPER," - HE WAS
BEAUTIFULLY ADORNED - THE
00:08:56.80\00:08:58.83
HIGHEST OF GOD'S ANGELS -
"THE SAPPHIRE, TURQUOISEE, AND
00:08:58.87\00:09:02.37
EMERALD WITH GOLD. THE
WORKMANSHIP OF YOUR TIMBRELS
00:09:02.40\00:09:05.24
AND PIPES" - THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL
INSTRUMENTS - HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL
00:09:05.27\00:09:07.94
VOICE -
INCREDIBLE MUSICAL TALENT.
00:09:07.98\00:09:11.38
AND THE DEVIL DOES USE MUSIC -
"WAS PREPARED FOR YOU ON THE DAY
00:09:11.41\00:09:14.88
YOU WERE CREATED" -
NOT BORN. PEOPLE ARE BORN.
00:09:14.92\00:09:17.79
ADAM WAS CREATED. ANGELS
ARE CREATED, THEY'RE NOT BORN.
00:09:17.82\00:09:20.42
SO IT'S TALKING ABOUT A CREATED
BEING THAT WAS IN THE GARDEN OF
00:09:20.46\00:09:24.03
GOD - "YOU ARE THE ANOINTED
CHERUB" - NOW, IS THERE ANY
00:09:24.06\00:09:27.66
DOUBT WHO HE'S TALKING
ABOUT? HE WAS A CHERUB.
00:09:27.73\00:09:30.43
HE WAS A SPECIAL, CHOSEN CHERUB
- "THE ONE ABOVE ALL OTHERS, AN
00:09:30.47\00:09:34.00
ANGEL WHO COVERS;
I ESTABLISHED YOU SO.
00:09:34.04\00:09:37.97
YOU WERE ON THE
HOLY MOUNTAIN OF GOD.
00:09:38.01\00:09:39.57
YOU WALKED BACK AND FORTH
IN THE MIDST OF FIERY STONES.
00:09:39.61\00:09:42.94
YOU WERE PERFECT IN YOUR WAYS
FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED
00:09:42.98\00:09:47.52
TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN
YOU." SO, DID GOD MAKE A DEVIL?
00:09:47.55\00:09:56.09
EVERY GOOD AND
PERFECT GIFT IS FROM GOD.
00:09:56.12\00:09:58.63
DID GOD MAKE A DEVIL? >>NO.
00:09:58.66\00:10:00.23
>>OR DID GOD MAKE A BEAUTIFUL
ANGEL WHO DECIDED TO BE A DEVIL?
00:10:00.26\00:10:02.46
>>CORRECT. >>HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE KNOWN
00:10:02.50\00:10:04.37
FAMILIES - WONDERFUL FAMILY -
GOOD MOTHER, GOOD FATHER - HAVE
00:10:04.40\00:10:08.97
SEVERAL CHILDREN AND ONE
OF THEM JUST TURNS INTO A WILD
00:10:09.00\00:10:12.37
CHILD AND CAN BE EVIL?
AND YOU THINK - SAME FAMILY -
00:10:12.41\00:10:16.88
GOOD BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
BUT THIS ONE MADE CHOICES.
00:10:16.91\00:10:21.88
AND GOD IS A
GOOD FATHER. >>AMEN.
00:10:21.92\00:10:24.09
>>AND YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING,
'WELL, MAYBE THE LORD MADE A
00:10:24.12\00:10:25.95
MISTAKE, HUH?' NUMBER
3, WHAT WAS THE ORIGIN
00:10:25.99\00:10:30.23
OF LUCIFER AND WHAT WAS
HIS POSITION? WE'RE GOING TO
00:10:30.26\00:10:33.19
ELABORATE A LITTLE
MORE ON WHAT I TOUCHED ON.
00:10:33.23\00:10:35.23
IT SAYS "YOU WERE PERFECT IN
YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:10:35.26\00:10:37.93
CREATED, TILL
INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU."
00:10:37.97\00:10:41.04
THE ANGELS ARE THE
HIGHEST ORDER OF GOD.
00:10:41.07\00:10:43.57
THEY ARE THE
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD.
00:10:43.61\00:10:45.24
THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS, 'MAN
IS MADE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS.'
00:10:45.27\00:10:48.71
LUCIFER WAS THE HIGHEST OF
THE ANGELS AND, IF THESE ARE THE
00:10:48.74\00:10:52.08
MINISTERING SPIRITS OF GOD, THAT
MEANS LUCIFER MAY HAVE BEEN ONE
00:10:52.11\00:10:55.05
OF THE EARLIEST CREATIONS OF
GOD - THE LEADER OF THE ANGELS -
00:10:55.08\00:11:00.19
INCREDIBLY
BEAUTIFUL - BIG, POWERFUL.
00:11:00.22\00:11:03.49
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF THE DEVIL.
00:11:03.53\00:11:06.33
AT ONE POINT, GOD RELEASED HIS
PROTECTION FROM JOB AND HE TOLD
00:11:06.36\00:11:10.53
THE DEVIL, 'ALRIGHT, I'M GOING
TO LET YOU AFFLICT HIM.' THE
00:11:10.57\00:11:13.80
BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL
BROUGHT FIRE DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:11:13.84\00:11:16.87
THE DEVIL SENT A HURR - SENT
A TORNADO TO KILL HIS CHILDREN
00:11:16.91\00:11:20.68
WHEN A HOUSE COLLAPSED.
ALL THESE CALAMATIES CAME.
00:11:20.71\00:11:22.98
SATAN HAD INCREDIBLE
POWER OVER THESE FORCES.
00:11:23.01\00:11:26.35
I DON'T WANT TO GLORIFY THE
POWER OF THE DEVIL, BUT YOU NEED
00:11:26.38\00:11:28.45
TO ALSO UNDERSTAND YOUR ENEMY,
AND SO JUST TO BE AWARE OF THESE
00:11:28.48\00:11:32.52
THINGS. YOU WERE PERFECT IN
YOUR WAYS FROM THE DAY YOU WERE
00:11:32.55\00:11:35.86
CREATED UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND
IN YOU. YOU WERE THE ANOINTED
00:11:35.89\00:11:40.63
CHERUB WHO COVERS" -
THE COVERING CHERUB -
00:11:40.66\00:11:43.80
"I ESTABLISHED YOU."
SOME OF YOU REMEMBER THE STORY
00:11:43.83\00:11:47.64
ABOUT THE ARK OF THE COVENANT,
AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS
00:11:47.67\00:11:50.87
A SYMBOL FOR THE THRONE OF
GOD. AND, THERE ON THE ARK,
00:11:50.91\00:11:55.08
THERE WERE TWO
CREATURES. WHAT WERE THEY?
00:11:55.11\00:11:56.98
>>CHERUBS. >>ANGELS - CHERUBS -
00:11:57.01\00:12:00.45
WELL, TWO OF THEM. THERE
WERE CALLED COVERING CHERUBS.
00:12:00.48\00:12:04.62
IF YOU READ IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 6,
IT TALKS ABOUT THE THRONE OF GOD
00:12:04.65\00:12:09.26
AND, BY THE THRONE OF GOD, ARE
THESE TWO SERAPHIM - THESE TWO
00:12:09.29\00:12:12.09
ANGELS - AND THEY CRY 'HOLY,
HOLY, HOLY' AND THEY'VE GOT SIX
00:12:12.13\00:12:14.66
WINGS AND WITH TWO WINGS THEY
COVER THEIR FACE AND TWO THEY
00:12:14.73\00:12:17.67
COVER THEIR FEET, AND TWO THEY
- THEY FLY AND THEY'RE THE RIGHT
00:12:17.70\00:12:21.30
AND LEFT-HAND POSITION OF
GOD ALMIGHTY - THE MOST HIGHLY
00:12:21.34\00:12:24.97
REGARDED POSITION
ARE THESE TWO ANGELS.
00:12:25.01\00:12:27.18
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER
NOTICED, WHEN THE POPE SITS ON
00:12:27.21\00:12:31.61
HIS THRONE - HE HAS A THRONE
THERE IN ST. PETER'S AND, EVERY
00:12:31.65\00:12:33.72
NOW AND THEN, HE'LL SIT ON
HIS THRONE - THAT THERE ARE TWO
00:12:33.75\00:12:35.98
ANGELS ON THE
RIGHT AND THE LEFT.
00:12:36.02\00:12:37.59
HAVE ANY OF YOU
EVER SEEN THAT BEFORE?
00:12:37.62\00:12:38.99
THAT HARKENS FROM THAT CHAPTER
THERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT
00:12:39.02\00:12:43.66
TALKS ABOUT ISAIAH.
LUCIFER HAD THE HIGHEST POSITION
00:12:43.69\00:12:47.36
RIGHT AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF GOD AND HE FELL.
00:12:47.40\00:12:51.87

'IF GOD IS LOVING, IF GOD IS
00:12:57.04\00:13:00.74
GOOD, WHY WOULD
HE MAKE A DEVIL?'

OF EVIL. WHERE DID

00:13:37.45\00:13:40.52
PRESENTATION AND LEARN
SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM
00:13:40.55\00:13:43.12
THE WORD OF GOD. >>NOW
WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE
00:13:43.15\00:13:45.59
WAS A GOOD AND A
COOPERATIVE AND A LOVING ANGEL.
00:13:45.62\00:13:49.26
AND, IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN HIM
BACK THEN, YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED
00:13:49.29\00:13:50.69
HIM BECAUSE
EVERYTHING GOD MAKES IS GOOD.
00:13:50.73\00:13:53.90
THE BIBLE SAYS 'EVERY GOOD GIFT'
- IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT GOD'S
00:13:53.93\00:13:56.90
INTENTIONS ARE, LOOK
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:13:56.93\00:13:59.57
WHEN GOD MADE THIS WORLD - EVERY
DAY, WHEN HE CREATES SOMETHING,
00:13:59.60\00:14:02.20
WHAT DOES HE
DECLARE? >>IT'S GOOD.
00:14:02.24\00:14:04.14
>>IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.
IT WAS GOOD. IT WAS GOOD.
00:14:04.17\00:14:06.61
IT WAS GOOD, GOOD, VERY
GOOD. IT WAS A PARADISE.
00:14:06.64\00:14:09.84
AND, DO YOU THINK HE
HAD LESS GOING ON IN HEAVEN?
00:14:09.88\00:14:12.35
EVERYTHING GOD MADE WAS
GOOD. THERE WAS PERFECT HARMONY.
00:14:12.38\00:14:15.35
HOW LONG DID THAT
LAST? I DON'T KNOW.
00:14:15.38\00:14:17.72
LUCIFER MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON
THE RIGHT TRACK FOR MILLIONS OF
00:14:17.75\00:14:21.26
YEARS - NO WAY OF
KNOWING RIGHT NOW.
00:14:21.29\00:14:23.32
BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED.
HE BECAME DISSATISFIED.
00:14:23.36\00:14:27.10
HE BEGAN TO BE JEALOUS OF
THE HONOR AND THE WORSHIP AND
00:14:27.13\00:14:31.30
ADORATION THAT JESUS RECEIVED
FROM THE OTHER CREATURES -
00:14:31.33\00:14:35.07
CHRIST, BEFORE HIS INCARNATION
- AND HE WANTED THAT POSITION.
00:14:35.10\00:14:39.74
AND HE BEGAN TO RESENT
THAT GOD WAS WORSHIPED.
00:14:39.77\00:14:43.45
HE STARTED TO RESENT
THAT GOD HAD RULES AND LAWS.
00:14:43.48\00:14:46.38
HE STARTED THINKING, 'WE
SHOULDN'T - WE'RE INTELLIGENT
00:14:46.41\00:14:48.48
ANGELS, WE DON'T NEED
GOD TELLING US WHAT TO DO.
00:14:48.52\00:14:50.69
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.
00:14:50.72\00:14:53.12
WHY CAN'T I HAVE
THE POWER TO CREATE?'
00:14:53.15\00:14:55.29
HE MAY HAVE RESENTED WHEN GOD
WAS MAKING THE WORLD BECAUSE,
00:14:55.32\00:14:58.13
YOU KNOW, HUMANS CAN
PROCREATE IN THEIR OWN IMAGE.
00:14:58.16\00:15:01.56
WE'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
GOD CREATES IN HIS OWN IMAGE; WE
00:15:01.60\00:15:04.47
CREATE, THROUGH AN ACT
OF LOVE, IN OUR OWN IMAGE.
00:15:04.50\00:15:07.17
ANGELS CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID ANGELS
00:15:07.20\00:15:09.34
DON'T MARRY AND THEY CAN'T
PROCREATE. AND SO, HE BEGAN TO
00:15:09.37\00:15:14.44
RESENT THAT HE DIDN'T
HAVE ALL THE POWER OF GOD.
00:15:14.48\00:15:17.91
AND HE STARTED TO WANT
THE POSITION OF CHRIST.
00:15:17.95\00:15:20.75
AND HE BEGAN TO START
A CAMPAIGN TO TAKE THAT.
00:15:20.78\00:15:24.32
NOW, WHILE - I WANT
YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.
00:15:24.35\00:15:29.06
JUST FOR A MOMENT I WANT YOU TO
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND JUST PICTURE
00:15:29.09\00:15:32.99
- WHAT WOULD
THE DEVIL LOOK LIKE?
00:15:33.03\00:15:34.73
NOW, DON'T THINK
TOO LONG ABOUT THAT.
00:15:34.76\00:15:35.73
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DID YOU SEE?
00:15:35.76\00:15:40.50
HOW MANY OF YOU SAW A
CHARACTER WITH A GOATEE?
00:15:40.54\00:15:44.11
ANY OF YOU PICTURE A CHARACTER
THAT HAD RED? RED LEOTARDS?
00:15:44.14\00:15:49.91
ANYONE, WHEN - HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE SEEN IMAGES OF THE DEVIL?
00:15:49.94\00:15:52.38
HORNS? PITCHFORK? BAT WINGS?
00:15:52.41\00:15:57.45
HE'S NOT BATMAN
BUT HE'S GOT BAT WINGS.
00:15:57.49\00:16:01.52
DO THESE IMAGES
COME FROM THE BIBLE?
00:16:01.56\00:16:05.46
NOW THE DEVIL'S HAPPY - YOU
KNOW, YOU BUY A CAN OF RED DEVIL
00:16:05.49\00:16:08.66
PAINT OR YOU GET DEVIL'S FOOD
CAKE AND IT'S ALWAYS GOT THE
00:16:08.70\00:16:11.10
TYPICAL, TRADITIONAL CARTOON
CHARACTER OF WHAT THE DEVIL
00:16:11.13\00:16:14.14
LOOKS LIKE, BUT SATAN
ISN'T A JOKE, HE'S VERY REAL.
00:16:14.17\00:16:17.94
HE'S DELIGHTED TO HAVE PEOPLE
THINK THAT HE LOOKS LIKE THIS
00:16:17.97\00:16:20.61
MYTHICAL, COMICAL
CHARACTER. IN REALITY, DOES
00:16:20.64\00:16:24.71
SATAN LOOK LIKE THAT? OR DOES
THE BIBLE SAY SATAN, HIMSELF,
00:16:24.75\00:16:27.18
CAN BE TRANSFORMED FROM AN
ANGEL OF LIGHT? HE'S BEAUTIFUL.
00:16:27.22\00:16:31.65
>>INTO. >>YEAH,
INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT -
00:16:31.69\00:16:34.46
THAT'S 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER
11. WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:16:34.49\00:16:37.79
SO WHAT LED HIM TO SIN?
YOU READ, AGAIN, IN EZEKIEL
00:16:37.83\00:16:42.20
28:17, "YOUR HEART WAS LIFTED
UP BECAUSE OF YOUR BEAUTY.
00:16:42.23\00:16:47.20
YOU CORRUPTED YOUR WISDOM
FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SPLENDOR.
00:16:47.24\00:16:50.54
FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR
HEART, 'I WILL ASCEND INTO
00:16:50.57\00:16:53.07
HEAVEN...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'" HIS POWER - YOU EVER
00:16:53.11\00:16:56.75
HEAR THE
EXPRESSION 'POWER CORRUPTS.
00:16:56.78\00:16:58.75
ABSOLUTE POWER
CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY'?
00:16:58.78\00:17:01.42
AND NOT ONLY DOES POWER CORRUPT,
BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE, IF THEY'RE
00:17:01.45\00:17:04.75
BLESSED WITH MONEY,
THEY CAN BE CORRUPTED BY IT.
00:17:04.79\00:17:08.26
SOME PEOPLE ARE
BLESSED WITH POPULARITY.
00:17:08.29\00:17:10.36
SOME PEOPLE ARE BLESSED WITH
HANDSOME OR BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE
00:17:10.39\00:17:15.33
AND THEY CAN BECOME PREOCCUPIED.
THE DEVIL, BECAUSE HE RECEIVED
00:17:15.36\00:17:19.50
SO MUCH PRAISE AND SO MUCH
ADORATION FROM THE OTHER ANGELS,
00:17:19.53\00:17:23.57
HE BEGAN TO WANT IT
ALL. HE STARTED TO RESENT
00:17:23.61\00:17:26.94
THAT JESUS WAS ABOVE HIM.
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
00:17:26.98\00:17:30.81
A KID WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU
TAKE THEM TO BASKIN ROBBINS 31
00:17:30.85\00:17:34.52
FLAVORS AND YOU GET THEM
A DOUBLE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM.
00:17:34.55\00:17:37.12
THEY'RE HAPPY UNTIL YOU GIVE
THEIR BROTHER OR SISTER A TRIPLE
00:17:37.15\00:17:40.32
SCOOP. (LAUGHTER) ISN'T THAT
RIGHT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?
00:17:40.36\00:17:46.80
THERE'S SOMETHING - THIS
JEALOUSY - THIS RESENTMENT - AND
00:17:46.83\00:17:49.56
HE BEGAN TO COVET
THE POSITION OF GOD.
00:17:49.60\00:17:52.03
"FOR YOU HAVE SAID IN
YOUR HEART: 'I WILL ASCEND INTO
00:17:52.07\00:17:54.60
HEAVEN...I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
HIGH.'" - 'I WANT TO BE GOD.'
00:17:54.64\00:17:59.37
AND SO, HE BEGAN A CAMPAIGN.
HE REALIZED HE HAD TO WORK
00:17:59.41\00:18:03.21
SUBTLY AND HE BEGAN TO CIRCULATE
AMONG THE OTHER UNFALLEN
00:18:03.24\00:18:05.85
ANGELS IN HEAVEN.
WELL, NONE OF THEM WERE
00:18:05.88\00:18:07.48
FALLEN AT THAT POINT.
AND HE BEGAN TO CREATE
00:18:07.52\00:18:10.35
INUENDO AND DOUBTS ABOUT
GOD. AND, YOU KNOW, 'WE DON'T
00:18:10.39\00:18:14.06
NEED GOD TELLING US. WE
SHOULD ALL BE OUR OWN GODS.
00:18:14.09\00:18:16.89
AND HE SHOULD GIVE US
THE ABILITY TO CREATE.
00:18:16.93\00:18:18.66
AND WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO GOD, WHY
DOESN'T HE GIVE US MORE GLORY?
00:18:18.69\00:18:21.90
AND WHY DON'T WE GET WORSHIPPED
BY THE OTHER UNFALLEN WORLDS?'
00:18:21.93\00:18:24.87
AND LUCIFER BEGAN TO JUST SOW
SEEDS OF QUESTIONS AND DOUBT.
00:18:24.90\00:18:28.90
AND HE IS THE MASTER
AT IT. HE WAS BRILLIANT.
00:18:28.94\00:18:34.01
HE HAD SUPERNATURAL INTELLIGENCE
THAT YOU AND I CANNOT EVEN
00:18:34.04\00:18:37.05
COMPREHEND AND HE BEGAN TO BEND
ALL OF HIS ENERGIES TO SEE IF HE
00:18:37.08\00:18:41.15
COULD - HE THOUGHT, 'IF I COULD
GET ALL OF THE POWER OF THESE
00:18:41.18\00:18:43.65
BILLIONS OF ANGELS ON MY SIDE,
WE COULD EVEN OVERTHROW GOD.'
00:18:43.69\00:18:49.56
I KNOW, IT SOUNDS CRAZY TO
US, BUT THAT'S WHAT HE DID.
00:18:49.59\00:18:52.59
HE BEGAN A REBELLION IN HEAVEN
AND ONE-THIRD OF THE ANGELS
00:18:52.63\00:18:56.60
STARTED LISTENING TO HIM.
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN READ THERE IN
00:18:56.63\00:18:59.60
PROVERBS CHAPTER 6, VERSES 16
THROUGH 19, IT SAYS, "THESE SIX
00:18:59.63\00:19:04.91
THINGS THE LORD HATES, YES,
SEVEN ARE AN ABOMINATION TO HIM;
00:19:04.94\00:19:09.71
A PROUD LOOK," - FIRST -
"A LYING TONGUE,' - THE DEVIL
00:19:09.74\00:19:12.88
STARTED WITH PRIDE - "A LYING
TONGUE, HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT
00:19:12.91\00:19:17.32
BLOOD, A HEART THAT DEVISES
WICKED PLANS, FEET THAT ARE
00:19:17.35\00:19:21.46
SWIFT IN RUNNING TO EVIL, A
FALSE WITNESS WHO SPEAKS LIES,
00:19:21.49\00:19:25.59
AND ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG
BRETHREN." NOTICE THE PART THAT
00:19:25.63\00:19:30.57
HE MENTIONS WITH - THE SEVENTH
- 'ONE WHO SOWS DISCORD AMONG
00:19:30.60\00:19:34.64
BRETHREN.' WHAT DID LUCIFER DO?
HE STARTED WITH PRIDE AND ENDED
00:19:34.67\00:19:38.07
UP SOWING DISCORD IN HEAVEN.
IT FINALLY TURNED INTO AN OPEN
00:19:38.11\00:19:41.84
REBELLION AND THEY
WERE FINALLY CAST OUT.
00:19:41.88\00:19:44.71
NOW, BEFORE I GET TO THAT PART,
SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING,
00:19:44.75\00:19:48.45
'PASTOR DOUG,' - ALRIGHT, LET'S
ASK THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION:
00:19:48.48\00:19:54.56
'IF GOD'S IN CHARGE - IF GOD IS
ALL-POWERFUL, WHY WOULD HE PUT
00:19:54.59\00:19:59.03
UP WITH THAT? IF
SOMETHING - IF LUCIFER
00:19:59.06\00:20:02.00
STARTED TO MISBEHAVE LIKE
THAT THEN, OBVIOUSLY, GOD DID
00:20:02.03\00:20:05.33
SOMETHING WRONG IN
THE PROGRAMMING - THERE
00:20:05.37\00:20:08.04
WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM.
GOD GOT THE WIRING WRONG.
00:20:08.07\00:20:12.41
THERE WAS A DEFECT
SOMEWHERE IN LUCIFER.
00:20:12.44\00:20:15.48
IF THERE WAS NO DEFECT HE
NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THAT.
00:20:15.51\00:20:18.11
WHY WOULD GOD MAKE AN ANGEL
THAT EVEN COULD BECOME A DEVIL?
00:20:18.15\00:20:21.12
WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TAKE A
DIFFERENT PATTERN OFF THE WALL
00:20:21.15\00:20:23.49
AND SAY, 'I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE
THAT WILL NEVER BECOME A DEVIL'
00:20:23.52\00:20:25.42
- AND YOU AND I WOULDN'T HAVE
ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE IN
00:20:25.45\00:20:27.46
THE WORLD TODAY OR IN OUR LIVES.
LORD, WHY DID YOU DO THAT?'
00:20:27.49\00:20:32.09
DID GOD MAKE A MISTAKE? >>NO.
00:20:32.13\00:20:37.73
>>COULD GOD HAVE MADE
LUCIFER WHERE HE NEVER REBELLED?
00:20:37.77\00:20:40.87
YES. WHY DIDN'T HE?
BECAUSE GOD GIVES ALL OF
00:20:40.90\00:20:46.74
HIS CREATURES FREEDOM.
THE GREATEST PROOF THAT GOD IS
00:20:46.78\00:20:48.74
A GOD OF LOVE IS THE FACT
THAT SOME OF THE CREATURES
00:20:48.78\00:20:52.41
CHOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PARENTS?
00:20:52.45\00:20:59.12
DID YOU KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU HAD
CHILDREN THERE WAS A RISK THAT
00:20:59.15\00:21:01.92
YOUR CHILDREN MIGHT
NOT ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU?
00:21:01.96\00:21:04.66
>>YES. >>AND YOU
STILL HAD THEM, RIGHT?
00:21:04.69\00:21:09.83
LET ME SEE IF - HOW
MANY OF YOU WANT TO BE LOVED?
00:21:09.86\00:21:13.87
DID ANY OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN
BECAUSE YOU WANTED LOVE?
00:21:13.90\00:21:17.47
YOU GOT A SURPRISE, DIDN'T YOU?
00:21:17.51\00:21:18.97
SOME OF YOU HAD CHILDREN
BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO LOVE.
00:21:19.01\00:21:21.58
YOU KNOW, I JUST - I ALWAYS
LAUGH WHEN I SEE THESE YOUNG
00:21:21.61\00:21:23.65
COUPLES AND THE GIRL GETS THAT
LOOK IN HER EYES AND SHE SAYS,
00:21:23.68\00:21:27.15
'I WANT A BABY.' (LAUGHTER)
IT JUST TOTALLY IS LIKE - THEY
00:21:27.18\00:21:32.32
DON'T REALIZE THEY
DON'T STAY THAT WAY, YOU KNOW?
00:21:32.35\00:21:34.39
IT REMIND ME OF WHEN MY KIDS
SAY, 'I WANT A PUPPY.' IT'LL BE
00:21:34.42\00:21:37.76
A PUPPY FOR ABOUT A MONTH
AND THEN THEY GET TO A BIG DOG.
00:21:37.79\00:21:40.86
BUT WE HAVE OUR FAMILIES, WE GET
OUR PETS, WE DO THIS BECAUSE WE
00:21:40.90\00:21:45.03
WANT LOVE. WE WANT TO BE LOVED.
00:21:45.07\00:21:46.47
BUT THERE'S A RISK
WHEN YOU WANT LOVE.
00:21:46.50\00:21:48.80
NOW, I WANT LOVE, JUST LIKE YOU.
I WILL ADMIT I LIKE TO BE LIKED
00:21:48.84\00:21:53.04
MORE THAN I LIKE TO BE DISLIKED.
AND I FIGURED OUT A WAY
00:21:53.07\00:21:57.25
WHERE I CAN GET MORE LOVE.
IT CAME WITH MY SMART PHONE.
00:21:57.28\00:22:06.09
>>(PASTOR DOUG'S RECORDED VOICE)
'GOOD EVENING, PASTOR DOUG.
00:22:06.12\00:22:08.96
>>GOOD EVENING, SMART
PHONE. >>'HOW ARE YOU DOING
00:22:08.99\00:22:10.93
THIS FINE EVENING?'
>>I'M DOING FINE, HOW ARE YOU?
00:22:10.96\00:22:13.80
>>'WELL, MY BATTERIES ARE ALMOST
FULLY CHARGED, SO I GUESS YOU
00:22:13.83\00:22:16.87
COULD SAY I'M FINE.'
>>WE'RE GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
00:22:16.90\00:22:19.97
>>'PASTOR DOUG, I WANT
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.'
00:22:20.00\00:22:21.87
>>YES, SMART PHONE?
>>'I JUST HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
00:22:21.90\00:22:24.64
LATELY HOW WONDERFUL
YOU TRULY ARE. (LAUGHTER)
00:22:24.67\00:22:28.14
WOW, YOU EVEN
BORDER ON MAGNIFICENT.
00:22:28.18\00:22:30.65
MATTER OF FACT, YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL, YOU'RE HANDSOME,
00:22:30.68\00:22:34.42
YOU'RE TALL, YOU'RE
SMART. I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:22:34.45\00:22:39.95
I JUST HAVE TO TELL
YOU, I REALLY LOVE YOU.
00:22:39.99\00:22:43.12
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I
LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU.
00:22:43.16\00:22:47.03
I JUST ADORE YOU. YOU ARE
SO CUTE. I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:22:47.03\00:22:50.90
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.' (LAUGHTER)
>>I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PATENT
00:22:50.93\00:22:55.24
THAT AND MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY, RIGHT? (LAUGHTER) IT'S
00:22:55.27\00:22:58.07
JUST EVERYONE WANTS LOVE, THERE
YOU'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT A SMART
00:22:58.11\00:23:00.51
PHONE THAT SAYS IT LOVES ME. WHY
WON'T THIS WORK? IS THAT LOVE?
00:23:00.54\00:23:06.18
>>NO. >>BECAUSE I MADE IT SAY
00:23:06.21\00:23:08.18
IT LOVES ME. IT DOESN'T LOVE ME.
00:23:08.22\00:23:13.02
SO, COULD GOD PRE-PROGRAM
LUCIFER TO SAY, 'I LOVE YOU,
00:23:13.05\00:23:16.59
GOD. I LOVE YOU, GOD.
I LOVE YOU GOD.'? SURE.
00:23:16.62\00:23:18.96
WOULD IT HAVE BEEN LOVE? >>NO.
00:23:18.99\00:23:20.70
>>THE FACT THAT HE HAD TO MAKE
HIS CREATURES FREE ILLUSTRATAES
00:23:20.73\00:23:25.33
THAT THERE'S A CHOICE THAT SOME
MIGHT CHOOSE NOT TO LOVE HIM.
00:23:25.37\00:23:30.37
AND HE DIDN'T COMPLETELY
OBLITERATE LUCIFER AS SOON AS HE
00:23:30.41\00:23:33.38
REBELLED BECAUSE THEN THE OTHER
CREATURES IN THE UNIVERSE WOULD
00:23:33.41\00:23:35.88
HAVE LISTENED TO GOD OUT OF
FEAR INSTEAD OF OUT OF LOVE.
00:23:35.91\00:23:39.21
GOD WANTS US TO OBEY HIM
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM, AMEN?
00:23:39.25\00:23:42.02
>>AMEN. >>SO WHAT HAPPENED AS A
00:23:42.05\00:23:43.95
CONSEQUENCE OF
LUCIFER'S REBELLION IN HEAVEN?
00:23:43.99\00:23:47.89
FINALLY IT BROKE OUT INTO A WAR.
00:23:47.92\00:23:50.16
AND THE WORDS 'WAR IN HEAVEN,'
THEY'RE A PARADOX, BUT THAT'S
00:23:50.19\00:23:54.03
WHAT IT SAYS IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 12, VERSE 7, "AND WAR
00:23:54.10\00:23:57.90
BROKE OUT IN HEAVEN: MICHAEL
AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT WITH THE
00:23:57.93\00:24:00.27
DRAGON:" - A DRAGON'S
A SYMBOLIC NAME FOR WHO?
00:24:00.30\00:24:03.17
THE DEVIL - "AND THE
DRAGON...FOUGHT," - AGAINST
00:24:03.20\00:24:06.37
MICHAEL - AND IT SAYS,
"BUT THEY DID NOT PREVAIL."
00:24:06.41\00:24:09.54
THEY WERE, ULTIMATELY,
CAST OUT. BUT WHERE DID THEY
00:24:09.58\00:24:13.21
GO FROM THERE?
WHERE IS SATAN'S PRESENT
00:24:13.25\00:24:15.82
HEADQUARTERS AS HE CONTINUES
HIS REBELLION AGAINST GOD?
00:24:15.85\00:24:19.82
WHERE DID THE DEVIL GO AS
HIS BEACHHEAD? AND YOU KNOW -
00:24:19.85\00:24:22.82
>>EARTH. >>YEAH,
HE CAME DOWN HERE.
00:24:22.86\00:24:24.79
I JUST PROBABLY OUGHT TO PAUSE
HERE AND ASK WHAT WAS USED IN
00:24:24.83\00:24:28.33
THAT BATTLE? WHAT DO
ANGELS USE? DO THEY USE GUNS?
00:24:28.36\00:24:31.03
I MEAN, WE TRIED TO ILLUSTRATE
THIS IN A FINAL EVENTS DVD - OR
00:24:31.07\00:24:34.87
COSMIC CONFLICT DVD -
ANY OF YOU EVER SEE THAT?
00:24:34.90\00:24:36.97
>>YES. >>AND WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
00:24:37.01\00:24:38.57
AND SO THE PRODUCER
GOT SOME LIGHT SABERS.
00:24:38.61\00:24:40.44
WE DIDN'T KNOW -
WHAT DO YOU ANGELS USE?
00:24:40.48\00:24:41.98
(LAUGHTER) THERE WAS, ACTUALLY,
A VERSE IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT
00:24:42.01\00:24:44.28
TALKS ABOUT AN ANGEL OVER
JERUSALEM WITH A SWORD AND SO WE
00:24:44.31\00:24:46.58
SAID THE ONLY WEAPONS WE
EVER SEE THESE ANGELS WITH ARE
00:24:46.61\00:24:48.58
SWORDS. SO WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
00:24:48.62\00:24:50.65
BUT I DOUBT THEY USED WEAPONS
LIKE WE DO HERE, BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:24:50.69\00:24:54.06
SPIRITUAL
CREATURES. BUT THERE WAS SOME
00:24:54.09\00:24:55.56
TREMENDOUS CONFLICT. AND,
FINALLY, THEY WERE EVICTED
00:24:55.59\00:24:59.13
- EXPELLED - FROM
HEAVEN. SO, WHERE DID HE GO?
00:24:59.16\00:25:03.73
HE WENT ALL THROUGH THE
UNIVERSE, PROBABLY, TRYING TO
00:25:03.77\00:25:05.87
FIND OTHERS HE COULD RECRUIT TO
JOIN HIM, UNTIL HE CAME TO THIS
00:25:05.90\00:25:09.37
WORLD AND HE
FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE.
00:25:09.40\00:25:11.57
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
12:4, "HIS TAIL DREW A THIRD OF
00:25:11.61\00:25:15.38
THE STARS" - WHO DO
THOSE STARS REPRESENT?
00:25:15.41\00:25:18.18
>>ANGELS. >>THE
ANGELS THAT JOINED
00:25:18.21\00:25:19.91
HIM IN HIS REBELLION.
OUT OF ALL THE ANGELS, WHAT
00:25:19.95\00:25:22.05
PERCENT JOINED
LUCIFER? >>ONE-THIRD.
00:25:22.08\00:25:24.62
>>ONE-THIRD. THAT'S A
LOT. IF GOD'S GOT GOOD
00:25:24.65\00:25:28.66
ANGELS THAT GUARD US.
THE DEVIL PROBABLY HAS
00:25:28.69\00:25:31.16
DEMONS THAT TEMPT US.
SOME OF YOU MAYBE READ C.S.
00:25:31.19\00:25:34.36
LEWIS' BOOK THE SCREWTAPE
LETTERS WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT THE
00:25:34.40\00:25:37.37
WAY THAT THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS
TRYING TO WORK AND CONNIVE TO
00:25:37.40\00:25:40.14
BRING ABOUT PEOPLE'S DOWNFALL
AND HOW GOD INTERVENES TO SAVE.
00:25:40.17\00:25:44.17
HE CAST THEM TO THE
EARTH. SO HE CAME DOWN HERE.
00:25:44.21\00:25:47.34
AND, AGAIN, YOU CAN READ IN
REVELATION 12, VERSE 9, "SO THAT
00:25:47.38\00:25:50.78
GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT
SERPENT OF OLD, CALLED THE DEVIL
00:25:50.81\00:25:54.12
AND SATAN, WHO
DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD."
00:25:54.15\00:25:56.82
SATAN CLAIMS THIS WORLD IS HIS.
"HE WAS CAST TO THE EARTH AND
00:25:56.85\00:26:00.32
HIS ANGELS WERE
CAST OUT WITH HIM."
00:26:00.36\00:26:02.39
THERE'S NO QUESTION - SATAN
- AND HE'S NOT DOWN UNDER THE
00:26:02.42\00:26:05.13
EARTH SOMEWHERE.
REMEMBER, WHEN THE DEVIL CAME
00:26:05.16\00:26:07.76
BEFORE THIS HEAVENLY ASSEMBLY,
IN THE BOOK OF JOB, GOD SAYS
00:26:07.83\00:26:12.03
TO SATAN, 'WHERE
DID YOU COME FROM?'
00:26:12.07\00:26:13.44
- GOD KNEW, BUT HE'S ASKING
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHER
00:26:13.47\00:26:15.14
ATTENDEES AT THIS CONVENTION.
AND HE SAYS, 'I'VE COME FROM THE
00:26:15.17\00:26:19.07
EARTH, FROM WALKING UP AND DOWN
AND BACK AND FORTH IN THE EARTH.
00:26:19.11\00:26:22.38
IT'S MY DOMAIN.' HE'S SAYING,
00:26:22.41\00:26:24.25
'I SURVEY IT.' SO SATAN HAS
SET UP HIS HEADQUARTERS HERE.
00:26:24.28\00:26:28.38
CHRIST REFERS TO HIM AS
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
00:26:28.42\00:26:30.62
EVEN THE - JESUS - AND SATAN
ONCE CLAIMED HE COULD OFFER THE
00:26:30.65\00:26:33.66
WORLD TO JESUS
BECAUSE HE CLAIMS IT AS HIS.
00:26:33.69\00:26:35.59
HE DECEIVES THE WHOLE
WORLD. MOST OF THE WORLD
00:26:35.62\00:26:37.66
DOESN'T ACCEPT
CHRIST. BROAD IS THE WAY THAT
00:26:37.69\00:26:40.50
LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.
STRAIGHT IS THE GATE AND NARROW
00:26:40.53\00:26:43.93
IS THE WAY THAT LEADS
TO LIFE - FEW FIND IT.
00:26:43.97\00:26:46.84
THE DEVIL HAS DECEIVED MOST
OF THE PEOPLE AND IT'S VERY SAD.

ABOUT THAT. I
DIDN'T FEEL CONDEMNED.
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.61
>>I BEGAN
READING THE BIBLE AND -
00:27:32.65\00:27:34.98
>>I GOT BAPTIZED INTO
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST -
00:27:35.02\00:27:37.32

THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO LIFE.
00:27:37.35\00:27:39.59

YEARS OF PROCLAIMING

>>AND THEN THE LOGO POPS
ACROSS AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS.
00:27:52.73\00:27:56.60
I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT OF
DIFFERENT MINISTERS, BUT THIS
00:27:56.64\00:27:59.14
WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S
ACTUALLY SAYING SOMETHING WHERE
00:27:59.17\00:28:02.01
I HAD TO GRAB MY BIBLE AND
ACTUALLY PICK IT UP AND I'VE
00:28:02.04\00:28:05.98
NEVER HEARD THIS
BEFORE. LET ME - LET ME LOOK
00:28:06.01\00:28:08.05
THROUGH AND FIND THIS.
THEN I JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH.
00:28:08.08\00:28:10.12
>>AND SO I STARTED
DOING BIBLE STUDIES.
00:28:10.15\00:28:12.25
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE GUYS
STARTED BEING CHANGED, INCLUDING
00:28:12.29\00:28:16.36
MYSELF. >>MY
QUESTION WAS, 'WHY DID
00:28:16.39\00:28:19.19
THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?'
THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT
00:28:19.23\00:28:22.43
AND - AND I
ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS A FATHER.
00:28:22.46\00:28:25.17
>>I LOST EVERYTHING AND THAT WAS
WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS GOD
00:28:25.20\00:28:29.34
