>>OUR STUDY, TODAY,
IS A VERY IMPORTANT ONE.
00:01:48.14\00:01:49.97
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS
WHO ARE WATCHING PROPHECY
00:01:50.01\00:01:51.77
ENCOUNTER - TALKING ABOUT A VERY
IMPORTANT AND INTENSE SUBJECT
00:01:51.81\00:01:56.95
CALLED THE MARK OF THE BEAST .
AND WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THAT, RIGHT
00:01:56.98\00:02:01.05
AWAY ALL KINDS OF
IMAGES COME INTO FOLKS' MINDS.
00:02:01.08\00:02:04.45
THEY WONDER, WHAT IS THIS?
IS THIS A COMPUTER CHIP UNDER
00:02:04.49\00:02:07.26
THE SKIN? IS IT
6-6-6 TATTOOED IN THE
00:02:07.29\00:02:10.26
FOREHEAD? IS IT A
SPECIAL SUPER CARD THAT
00:02:10.29\00:02:13.16
YOU CARRY IN YOUR PURSE OR YOUR
WALLET? AND WHAT IS THIS MARK?
00:02:13.19\00:02:19.03
IS IT SOMETHING PHYSICAL,
IS IT SOMETHING SPIRITUAL?
00:02:19.07\00:02:22.07
WELL, WE'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:02:22.10\00:02:24.31
FIRST QUESTION: WHO IS PROTECTED
DURING THE SEVEN FINAL PLAGUES
00:02:24.34\00:02:29.11
THAT YOU FIND IN REVELATION?
THIS IS IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7
00:02:29.14\00:02:32.38
- IT SAYS THERE, "HURT NOT THE
EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE
00:02:32.41\00:02:36.38
TREES, TILL WE HAVE
SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
00:02:36.42\00:02:40.72
IN THEIR FOREHEADS."
THERE IS A GROUP THAT IS
00:02:40.76\00:02:42.89
PROTECTED AND THEY GET
A MARK IN THEIR FOREHEADS.
00:02:42.92\00:02:45.46
YOU MAY NOT HAVE CAUGHT THIS
EARLIER BUT, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE
00:02:45.49\00:02:48.23
MARKED IN REVELATION? EVERYBODY.
00:02:48.26\00:02:53.30
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
ONE GROUP'S GOT THE MARK OF THE
00:02:53.34\00:02:56.57
BEAST AND ANOTHER
GROUP'S GOT THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:02:56.60\00:02:58.74
ONE'S GOT THE FATHER'S
NAME IN THE FOREHEAD - YOU GO TO
00:02:58.77\00:03:01.41
REVELATION 17, SHE'S GOT
A PARAGRAPH THAT CALLS HER A
00:03:01.44\00:03:03.98
HARLOT IN HER
FOREHEAD. WHAT WAS IT THAT
00:03:04.01\00:03:06.95
BROUGHT DOWN GOLIATH? A
STONE. WHERE? IN THE FOREHEAD.
00:03:06.98\00:03:13.82
THE WORD OF GOD - CHRIST IS THE
ROCK - THAT WORD OF GOD - TEN
00:03:13.86\00:03:17.86
COMMANDMENTS WRITTEN ON STONE
- IN THE FOREHEAD - BRINGS DOWN
00:03:17.89\00:03:20.46
THE DEVIL - JESUS FOUGHT THE
DEVIL IN THE WILDERNESS, 'IT IS
00:03:20.50\00:03:23.40
WRITTEN. IT IS WRITTEN.
00:03:23.43\00:03:24.43
IT IS WRITTEN.' AND
THE DEVIL FELL ON HIS FACE.
00:03:24.47\00:03:28.17
AND SO, GOLIATH, THAT
STORY IS EVEN A SYMBOL OF THAT.
00:03:28.20\00:03:30.81
WHAT IS THE SEAL THE RIGHTEOUS
RECEIVE IN THEIR FOREHEADS?
00:03:30.84\00:03:35.51
IT SAYS RIGHT THERE IN ISAIAH
8:16, "BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:03:35.54\00:03:40.12
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:03:40.15\00:03:43.65
SO THE LAW OF GOD
IS THE NEW COVENANT.
00:03:43.69\00:03:45.75
THY - 'HIS LAW HE WILL WRITE IN
OUR HEARTS.' AND IN THE HEART,
00:03:45.79\00:03:48.82
WHEN YOU SAY, 'THE HEART'
BIBLICALLY, YOU DON'T POINT
00:03:48.86\00:03:50.83
HERE. WHEN YOU SAY 'THE HEART'
00:03:50.86\00:03:52.53
BIBLICALLY, YOU POINT
HERE. 'AS A MAN THINKETH,
00:03:52.56\00:03:55.10
IN HIS HEART' - OKAY? SO
THE LAW OF GOD IS HERE IN THE
00:03:55.13\00:03:58.83
FOREHEAD, IN THE
HAND IS IN THE ACTIONS.
00:03:58.87\00:04:02.14
AND HE WANTS HIS LAW - NOW
EVERYBODY THAT HAS THE MARK OF
00:04:02.17\00:04:06.31
THE BEAST HAS WHOSE
SPIRIT? THE DEVIL'S SPIRIT.
00:04:06.34\00:04:10.45
EVERYBODY WHO HAS THE
SEAL OF GOD HAS WHOSE SPIRIT?
00:04:10.48\00:04:14.22
HAS GOD'S SPIRIT. SO WE
ALREADY KNOW THAT, AND WE
00:04:14.25\00:04:16.62
SHOWED YOU WHERE, IN
EPHESIANS, IT SAYS WE ARE SEALED
00:04:16.65\00:04:20.46
WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. BUT
THERE'S SOMETHING DEEPER IN
00:04:20.49\00:04:23.12
GOD'S LAW THAT
REVEALS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:04:23.16\00:04:26.43
NOW, LET'S REMIND YOU
WHAT HAS A BIBLICAL SEAL?
00:04:26.46\00:04:29.30
WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE AN OFFICIAL
00:04:29.33\00:04:31.33
SEAL TODAY -
THREE MAIN COMPONENTS.
00:04:31.37\00:04:34.30
IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE NAME OF
THE INDIVIDUAL, THEIR OFFICIAL
00:04:34.34\00:04:38.34
TITLE THAT GIVES THEM AUTHORITY,
AND THEN THEIR TERRITORY - YOU
00:04:38.37\00:04:42.51
KNOW, IT'S USUALLY
RESTRICTED TO SOME PLACE.
00:04:42.54\00:04:46.25
YOU CAN FIND THE SEAL OF GOD IN
THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, IN THE
00:04:46.28\00:04:50.39
COMMANDMENT THAT IS THE LONGEST,
AND THE ONE THAT BEGINS WITH THE
00:04:50.42\00:04:54.16
WORD 'REMEMBER', AND IT'S THE
ONLY COMMANDMENT WHERE YOU FIND
00:04:54.19\00:04:57.19
THE WORD 'HOLY', AND
IT'S THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:04:57.23\00:05:01.96
IT TALKS ABOUT OUR TIME - GIVING
OUR TIME - GIVING OUR WORSHIP TO
00:05:02.00\00:05:05.63
GOD. HE MADE AN
APPOINTMENT WITH US.
00:05:05.67\00:05:08.10
HE'S SO IMPORTANT TO US, WE WILL
KEEP THAT SACRED APPOINTMENT
00:05:08.14\00:05:10.51
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND WE WANT
TO NURTURE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
00:05:10.54\00:05:14.41
SO WHICH OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
HAS THAT SEAL - THE COMPONENTS
00:05:14.44\00:05:17.85
OF A SEAL IN IT?
FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:05:17.88\00:05:21.02
LET'S LOOK AT IT - EXODUS 20,
VERSE 11, "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE
00:05:21.05\00:05:24.95
LORD MADE" - THAT'S HIS NAME,
THE LORD - "MADE" - CREATOR -
00:05:24.99\00:05:28.66
HERE'S HIS TERRITORY -
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
00:05:28.69\00:05:30.86
IS ANYTHING NOT INCLUDED
IN THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH?
00:05:30.89\00:05:33.50
'CAUSE HE'S THE LORD OF ALL.
HE IS JEHOVAH, THE CREATOR AND
00:05:33.53\00:05:39.03
SUSTAINER OF THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:05:39.07\00:05:41.74
THE SEAL OF GOD IS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LAW OF GOD AND THAT LAW
00:05:41.77\00:05:44.87
SHOULD BE IN OUR
HEARTS AND IN OUR MINDS.
00:05:44.91\00:05:47.21
I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS
STUDY REAL EASY FOR YOU.
00:05:47.24\00:05:49.94
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IT
SAYS, IN ROMANS CHAPTER 6,
00:05:49.98\00:05:55.82
WHOEVER YOU OBEY,
THAT'S WHOSE SERVANT YOU ARE.
00:05:55.85\00:05:59.35
SO, TRYING TO ANALYZE AND MELT
DOWN AND BREAK DOWN EXACTLY WHAT
00:05:59.39\00:06:03.76
IS THE MARK OF THE
BEAST? IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
00:06:03.79\00:06:06.63
IT'S WHO DO YOU
WORSHIP? NOW, HOW DID THE EARLY
00:06:06.66\00:06:09.60
PROTESTANTS IDENTIFY THE
BEAST? WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU
00:06:09.63\00:06:12.17
A LITTLE CHURCH HISTORY.
WHAT IS IT THAT DISTINGUISHES
00:06:12.20\00:06:14.60
PROTESTANTS FROM CATHOLICS? OF
COURSE, PROTESTANTS PROTESTED.
00:06:14.64\00:06:17.57
MARTIN LUTHER WAS THE ONE
WHO NAILED - BY THE WAY, WE'RE,
00:06:17.61\00:06:20.88
RIGHT NOW, IN THAT 500-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY FOR MARTIN LUTHER
00:06:20.91\00:06:24.71
NAILING HIS PROTESTS ON
THE DOORS OF THE CHURCH IN
00:06:24.75\00:06:27.75
WITTENBERG AND ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MOST PROTESTANTS HELD IN
00:06:27.78\00:06:31.69
COMMON WAS THEY WERE ALL
UNITEDLY AGREED OF WHO THE
00:06:31.72\00:06:37.26
ANTICHRIST POWER WAS
IDENTIFIED THERE IN DANIEL 7, IN
00:06:37.29\00:06:41.73
2 THESSALONIANS, IN REVELATION
13 - AND I'M JUST GOING TO READ
00:06:41.76\00:06:45.47
SOME QUOTES NOW, SO PUT ON YOUR
SEAT BELT. BEFORE I READ THESE
00:06:45.50\00:06:47.84
TO YOU, I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY
CLEAR THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD,
00:06:47.87\00:06:53.48
LOVING, CHRISTIAN PEOPLE
IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES.
00:06:53.51\00:06:57.15
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY
INDIVIDUALS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:06:57.18\00:06:59.81
THE OFFICIAL POSITIONS THAT
THEY HOLD AND THE - HOW THEY
00:06:59.85\00:07:05.29
INTERPRET THE PLACE OF GOD
IN THE SCRIPTURES IN SALVATION.
00:07:05.32\00:07:09.49
SO THIS IS REALLY JUST AN
ANALYTICAL STUDY, BUT HERE'S
00:07:09.52\00:07:12.13
WHAT THEY SAID. JOHN
WYCLIFF, HE WAS CALLED THE
00:07:12.16\00:07:15.73
STAR OF THE
REFORMATION - THE MORNING STAR.
00:07:15.76\00:07:18.50
HE'S THE ONE WHO TRANSLATED
THE BIBLE FIRST INTO ENGLISH.
00:07:18.53\00:07:21.57
I'VE BEEN TO
ENGLAND AND SEEN IT THERE.
00:07:21.60\00:07:23.81
HE SAID, "WE SUPPOSE THAT
ANTICHRIST, THE HEAD OF ALL
00:07:23.84\00:07:26.98
THESE EVIL MEN,
IS THE POPE OF ROME."
00:07:27.01\00:07:29.11
BY THE WAY, WHAT
CHURCH DID HE BELONG TO?
00:07:29.14\00:07:31.58
CATHOLIC CHURCH. SO
HERE YOU HAVE A CATHOLIC
00:07:31.61\00:07:35.62
SCHOLAR WHO IS SAYING
IT'S THE POPE OF ROME.
00:07:35.65\00:07:39.59
AGAIN, JOHN HUSS, HE SAID, "THE
POPE IS THE TRUE ANTICHRIST OF
00:07:39.62\00:07:44.66
WHOM IT IS WRITTEN THAT HE SITS
IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AMONG THE
00:07:44.69\00:07:49.16
PEOPLE WHERE
CHRIST IS WORSHIPED."
00:07:49.20\00:07:51.73
MARTIN LUTHER, "THIS TEACHING
[OF THE SUPREMACY OF THE POPE]
00:07:51.77\00:07:54.80
SHOWS FORCEFULLY THAT THE
POPE IS THE VERY ANTICHRIST."
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.97
- THEY DIDN'T
MINCE WORDS, DID THEY?
00:07:58.01\00:07:59.81
- "WHO HAS EXALTED HIMSELF
ABOVE, AND OPPOSED HIMSELF
00:07:59.84\00:08:03.18
AGAINST CHRIST." HERE
YOU'VE GOT CALVIN, "DANIEL
00:08:03.21\00:08:06.58
AND PAUL HAD PREDICTED
THAT ANTICHRIST WOULD SIT IN THE
00:08:06.61\00:08:10.15
TEMPLE OF GOD...WE
AFFIRM HIM TO BE THE POPE."
00:08:10.19\00:08:14.02
SO IF YOU'VE GOT ANY BAPTIST
ROOTS OR CALVINISTIC TEACHINGS -
00:08:14.06\00:08:17.69
IT'S WHAT CALVIN BELIEVED, IT'S
WHAT LUTHER BELIEVED - JOHN KNOX
00:08:17.73\00:08:21.06
- PRESBYTERIAN, "YEA, WE DOUBT
NOT TO PROVE THE KINGDOM OF THE
00:08:21.10\00:08:24.83
POPE TO BE THE KINGDOM
AND POWER OF ANTICHRIST."
00:08:24.87\00:08:28.34
ROGER WILLIAMS - IN AMERICA
WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND
00:08:28.37\00:08:31.87
STATE LARGELY BECAUSE OF ROGER
WILLIAMS. WILLIAMS HAD A VERY
00:08:31.91\00:08:35.61
IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING.
HE SAID, 'THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:08:35.64\00:08:38.51
ARE ON TWO TABLES OF STONE.
ONE IS CIVIL IN NATURE AND ONE
00:08:38.55\00:08:44.29
IS MORE SPIRITUAL IN NATURE.'
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS DEAL
00:08:44.32\00:08:47.59
WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
NO GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA SHOULD
00:08:47.62\00:08:51.19
FORCE PEOPLE HOW TO KEEP
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS.
00:08:51.23\00:08:54.60
YOU DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT
TELLING YOU WHAT GOD TO WORSHIP
00:08:54.63\00:08:56.43
OR WHEN TO WORSHIP HIM OR
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, RIGHT?
00:08:56.46\00:09:00.74
HE SAID, 'BUT NO GOVERNMENT
CAN NEGLECT THE LAST SIX
00:09:00.77\00:09:03.67
COMMANDMENTS: RESPECT OF
PROPERTY, RESPECT OF MARRIAGE,
00:09:03.71\00:09:07.64
RESPECT OF PARENTS - AND THAT
WAS A VERY BALANCED APPROACH.
00:09:07.68\00:09:12.68
HERE'S WHAT HE SAID: 'PASTOR
WILLIAMS SPOKE OF THE POPE AS
00:09:12.71\00:09:15.88
THE PRETENDED VICAR OF CHRIST ON
EARTH WHO SITS AS GOD OVER THE
00:09:15.92\00:09:19.69
TEMPLE OF GOD, EXALTING HIMSELF
NOT ONLY ABOVE ALL THAT IS
00:09:19.72\00:09:22.69
CALLED GOD BUT OVER ALL THE
SOULS AND CONSCIENCES OF ALL HIS
00:09:22.72\00:09:26.29
VASSALS, YEA OVER THE SPIRIT
OF CHRIST.' IT SAYS JOHN WESLEY
00:09:26.33\00:09:29.63
SAID, "HE IT IS...THAT EXALTETH
HIMSELF ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED
00:09:29.66\00:09:33.94
GOD, OR THAT IS
WORSHIPPED...CLAIMING THE
00:09:33.97\00:09:36.57
HIGHEST POWER AND
HIGHEST HONOR...CLAIMING THE
00:09:36.60\00:09:39.27
PREROGATIVES WHICH
BELONG TO GOD ALONE."
00:09:39.31\00:09:42.31
IF YOU READ THE WESTMINSTER
CONFESSION - MANY PROTESTANTS
00:09:42.34\00:09:45.88
ASCRIBE TO THIS - THERE - YOU
USED TO BE ABLE TO READ, "THERE
00:09:45.91\00:09:49.62
IS NO OTHER HEAD OF THE CHURCH
BUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST NOR
00:09:49.65\00:09:53.59
CAN THE POPE OF ROME IN ANY
SENSE BE HEAD THEREOF: BUT IS
00:09:53.62\00:09:57.83
THAT ANTICHRIST." (WHISTLES) I
MEAN, THIS IS - THIS IS HISTORY.
00:09:57.86\00:10:02.36
AT LEAST YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF
TO KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE -
00:10:02.40\00:10:05.37
"THAT MAN OF SIN AND SON OF
PERDITION THAT EXALTETH HIMSELF
00:10:05.40\00:10:08.00
IN THE CHURCH AGAINST CHRIST
AND ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD."
00:10:08.04\00:10:12.37
IN THE BOOK ALL ROADS LEAD
TO ROME - "A GREAT CLOUD OF
00:10:12.41\00:10:16.95
WITNESSES:" - LISTEN TO
THESE NAMES - "WYCLIFF, TYNDALE,
00:10:16.98\00:10:20.98
LUTHER, CALVIN, CRANMER; IN
THE SEVENTH CENTURY, BUNYAN."
00:10:21.02\00:10:25.62
- YOU'VE READ PILGRIM'S
PROGRESS , THIS WAS THE VIEW OF
00:10:25.65\00:10:28.49
THE AUTHOR OF PILGRIM'S
PROGRESS - "THE TRANSLATORS OF
00:10:28.52\00:10:31.29
THE KING JAMES BIBLE" -
UNIFORMLY BELIEVED THIS -
00:10:31.33\00:10:36.80
"AND THE MEN WHO
PUBLISHED THE WESTMINSTER AND
00:10:36.83\00:10:39.13
BAPTIST CONFESSIONS OF FAITH :"
- I JUST READ YOU ONE OF THOSE -
00:10:39.17\00:10:41.80
"SIR ISAAC NEWTON" -
YOU EVER HEARD THAT NAME?
00:10:41.84\00:10:44.31
HE WAS ALSO QUITE A
BIBLE SCHOLAR - "[JOHN] WESLEY,
00:10:44.34\00:10:46.64
WHITFIELD, JONATHAN EDWARDS;
AND MORE RECENTLY, SPURGEON."
00:10:46.68\00:10:50.91
- THE PRINCE OF
PREACHERS - "BISHOP J.C.
00:10:50.95\00:10:53.21
RYLE AND DR. MARTIN LLOYD-JONES;
THESE MEN AMONG COUNTLESS
00:10:53.25\00:10:57.55
OTHERS, ALL SAW THE OFFICE OF
THE PAPACY AS THE ANTICHRIST."
00:10:57.59\00:11:01.96
THEY SAID, 'IF YOU'RE GOING
TO READ THE BIBLE AND STUDY
00:11:01.99\00:11:03.83
PROPHECY, IT'S INESCAPABLE.'
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS CERTAINLY
00:11:03.86\00:11:06.80
NOT POLITICALLY
CORRECT TO SAY THAT, IS IT?
00:11:06.83\00:11:11.00
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'VE GOT
A POPE, NOW, WHO'S SO NICE.
00:11:11.03\00:11:13.60
HE SEEMS LIKE SUCH A NICE,
HUMBLE MAN AND HE SEEMS TO BE
00:11:13.64\00:11:18.01
JUST, YOU KNOW, HE'S PUTTING OFF
A LOT OF THE FANFARE AND WEALTH
00:11:18.04\00:11:21.44
OF PREVIOUS POPES AND HE'S
APOLOGIZING FOR PAST HISTORY AND
00:11:21.48\00:11:25.55
SO IT'S NOT VERY POLITICALLY
CORRECT, BUT AT LEAST YOU SHOULD
00:11:25.58\00:11:28.25
KNOW THIS WAS THE POSITION
OF PROTESTANTS FOR FIVE HUNDRED
00:11:28.28\00:11:31.59
YEARS - FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY.
00:11:31.62\00:11:33.19
YOU DON'T HEAR MUCH ABOUT IT
IN THE LAST FIFTY YEARS OR SO.
00:11:33.22\00:11:38.26

WHAT IS THE MYSTERIOUS
00:12:25.04\00:12:28.54
NUMBER THAT
IDENTIFIES THE BEAST?
00:12:28.58\00:12:31.71
THIS NUMBER IS -
YOU ALL KNOW IT - 6-6-6.
00:12:31.75\00:12:37.42
HERE'S A PICTURE OF A FLORIDA
STATE TROOPER - 6-6-6 ON HIS
00:12:37.45\00:12:41.36
LICENSE PLATE
(LAUGHTER) WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:12:41.39\00:12:46.59
SEE, YOU ALL LAUGH.
EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S
00:12:46.63\00:12:48.26
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NUMBER.
I WAS GETTING CHANGE AT A STORE
00:12:48.30\00:12:51.60
ONE TIME AND, I FORGET WHAT I
BOUGHT, BUT IT CAME BACK AND MY
00:12:51.63\00:12:54.34
CHANGE WAS - ALL THE THINGS
I BOUGHT CAME UP TO $6.66 - AND
00:12:54.37\00:12:58.91
THE CASHIER - THE GAL - SAID,
'OOH, LOOK AT THAT, 6-6-6.' AND
00:12:58.94\00:13:03.45
I SAID, 'YEAH, LOOK AT THAT.' I
SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?'
00:13:03.48\00:13:07.28
SHE SAID, 'NO, BUT IT'S BAD.'
(LAUGHTER) AND EVERYONE KIND OF
00:13:07.32\00:13:12.35
KNOWS THAT. THEY
DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
00:13:12.39\00:13:14.89
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT IS
AN INTERESTING NUMBER.
00:13:14.92\00:13:16.69
IF YOU READ IN THE DOCUMENT,
PROMPTA BIBLIOTHECA , ACCORDING
00:13:16.73\00:13:21.46
TO THE 1913 CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA - THIS IS A
00:13:21.50\00:13:24.47
VERITABLE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF
RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND WILL
00:13:24.50\00:13:28.00
REMAIN A PRECIOUS
MINE OF INFORMATION.
00:13:28.04\00:13:31.27
THIS BOOK IS QUOTED FREQUENTLY
AS AN AUTHORITATIVE CATHOLIC
00:13:31.31\00:13:34.64
SOURCE. HERE'S
WHAT IT SAYS: UNDER THE
00:13:34.68\00:13:36.85
HEADING 'PAPA VICARIUS FILII
DEI APPEARS AS THE TITLE FOR THE
00:13:36.88\00:13:42.85
POPE.' THAT IS ONE OF THE
OFFICIAL TITLES OF THE POPE.
00:13:42.88\00:13:46.69
NOW, I WANT YOU TO
NOTICE THOSE LATIN WORDS.
00:13:46.72\00:13:48.66
"THE LETTERS ON THE POPE'S CROWN
ARE THESE: VICARIUS FILII DEI:
00:13:48.69\00:13:52.96
WHICH IS LATIN FOR 'VICAR OF THE
SON OF GOD.'" - REPRESENTATIVE
00:13:52.99\00:13:56.87
OF THE SON OF GOD - JESUS
SAID, 'THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY
00:13:56.90\00:13:59.60
REPRESENTATIVE.' WHEN YOU ADD
THOSE WORDS UP - HOW MANY OF YOU
00:13:59.63\00:14:06.78
REMEMBER YOUR ROMAN
NUMERALS FROM SCHOOL?
00:14:06.81\00:14:09.94
AND THE V IS? >>FIVE.
00:14:09.98\00:14:12.28
>>FIVE. EVERY NOW
AND THEN YOU'LL STILL
00:14:12.31\00:14:13.48
SEE SOMETHING WHERE THEY'RE
USING THE OLD LATIN NUMERALS.
00:14:13.52\00:14:17.39
THE LETTERS HAD NUMERICAL VALUE
- NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT SOME OF
00:14:17.42\00:14:21.09
THEM HAD NUMERICAL VALUE.
THAT TITLE, WHEN YOU VERY SIMPLY
00:14:21.12\00:14:24.56
ADD UP THE VERY REAL VALUE OF
THOSE NUMBERS, VICARIUS ADDS UP
00:14:24.59\00:14:28.30
TO 112, FILII ADDS UP
TO 53, AND DEI IS 501.
00:14:28.33\00:14:36.04
AND YOU ADD THOSE UP
AND THAT COMES TO 666.
00:14:36.07\00:14:39.07
NOW, YOU KNOW, ABOVE THE HEAD
OF THE HIGH PRIEST, HE HAD A
00:14:39.11\00:14:42.74
PLACARD. THE PLACARD
SAID, 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD'.
00:14:42.78\00:14:46.75
IT'S LIKE I TOLD YOU, THE
WORD 'HOLY IS IN THE SABBATH
00:14:46.78\00:14:48.42
COMMANDMENT. HOLY IS THE
SEAL OF GOD - HOLY SPIRIT.
00:14:48.45\00:14:52.09
WHEN JESUS DIED, ABOVE HIS HEAD
IT SAID, 'KING OF THE JEWS'.
00:14:52.12\00:14:56.46
AND HERE, AT LEAST ON SOME
OCCASIONS, THE POPE USED TO WEAR
00:14:56.49\00:14:58.69
A CROWN THAT SAID,
'VICARIUS FILII DEI' - 'I AM THE
00:14:58.73\00:15:01.76
REPRESENTATIVE OF
GOD'. NOW, AGAIN, I WANT TO
00:15:01.80\00:15:03.90
MAKE SURE AND BE FAIR.
HERE'S JUST - THIS IS JUST
00:15:03.93\00:15:06.47
POPE BENEDICT A FEW YEARS
AGO. HE ALMOST NEVER APPEARED
00:15:06.50\00:15:09.70
WITH THE SAME CROWN ON.
HE LIKED TO CHANGE CLOTHES.
00:15:09.74\00:15:12.21
HE WAS A LITTLE MORE
FLAMBOYANT THAT POPE FRANCIS.
00:15:12.24\00:15:15.04
NOW, THE THIRD CROWN THAT YOU
SEE HIM WEARING THERE, ON THE
00:15:15.08\00:15:17.65
RIGHT, MOST OF THE PAPAL CROWNS
USED TO HAVE THREE CROWNS, AND
00:15:17.68\00:15:22.05
THAT MEANT BECAUSE HE WAS KING
OF HEAVEN, KING OF EARTH, AND
00:15:22.08\00:15:23.99
KING OF PURGATORY. THE
TRIPLE-TIERED CROWN - ONLY
00:15:24.02\00:15:27.32
THE POPE WAS
ALLOWED TO WEAR BACK THEN.
00:15:27.36\00:15:29.62
SOME OF THOSE ANCIENT CROWNS DID
HAVE THAT PLACARD ON IT THAT HAD
00:15:29.66\00:15:32.83
THE OFFICIAL TITLE. BUT,
IF YOU STILL DON'T BELIEVE
00:15:32.86\00:15:35.06
THAT, MAYBE YOU'LL BELIEVE
THE BOOK BY JOHN PAUL II, CALLED
00:15:35.10\00:15:38.90
ON THE THRESHOLD OF HOPE .
"THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC
00:15:38.93\00:15:42.34
CHURCH" - AND THIS IS PAGE 3 -
"IS DEFINED BY THE FAITH AS THE
00:15:42.37\00:15:45.84
VICAR OF JESUS CHRIST (AND IS
ACCEPTED AS SUCH BY BELIEVERS).
00:15:45.87\00:15:50.08
THE POPE IS CONSIDERED THE MAN
ON EARTH WHO REPRESENTS THE SON
00:15:50.11\00:15:54.52
OF GOD, WHO TAKES THE PLACE
OF THE SECOND PERSON OF THE
00:15:54.55\00:15:59.29
OMNIPOTENT GOD OF THE TRINITY."
TAKES THE PLACE OF - AND HE'S
00:15:59.32\00:16:06.13
THE VICAR FOR THE SON OF
GOD. THAT'S WHAT VICARIUS
00:16:06.16\00:16:09.13
FILII DEI REPRESENTS.
SO WHAT IS THE BEAST'S
00:16:09.16\00:16:12.97
MARK OF AUTHORITY?
NOW WE'RE GETTING MORE
00:16:13.00\00:16:15.40
SPECIFICALLY INTO THE MARK.
WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT THE SEAL OF
00:16:15.44\00:16:17.61
GOD IS IN THE LAW -
IT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:16:17.64\00:16:20.94
AND, IN PARTICULAR, THE
SABBATH REPRESENTS THAT.
00:16:20.98\00:16:23.71
NOW I'M GOING TO READ TO
YOU FROM THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM.
00:16:23.75\00:16:26.38
CATECHISM USES
QUESTION AND ANSWER METHOD.
00:16:26.41\00:16:30.35
AND, WHEN YOU'RE - THIS IS
WRITTEN BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
00:16:30.39\00:16:32.79
WHEN YOU'RE
TEACHING. QUESTION: WHICH DAY
00:16:32.82\00:16:35.19
IS THE SABBATH DAY?
ANSWER: SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH
00:16:35.22\00:16:39.19
DAY - WHICH BEGS THE NEXT
QUESTION: WHY DO WE OBSERVE
00:16:39.23\00:16:43.33
SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?
ANSWER: WE OBSERVE SUNDAY
00:16:43.37\00:16:47.74
INSTEAD OF SATURDAY BECAUSE
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSFERRED
00:16:47.77\00:16:51.64
THE SOLEMNITY FROM
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY.
00:16:51.67\00:16:56.44
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED, IT WASN'T DONE BY
00:16:56.48\00:16:58.45
JESUS; IT WASN'T DONE BY THE
APOSTLES; IT HAPPENED HUNDREDS
00:16:58.48\00:17:01.58
OF YEARS LATER. IT
HAPPENED GRADUALLY.
00:17:01.62\00:17:04.02
PART OF THE REASON WAS BECAUSE,
WHEN THE ROMANS BEGAN TO FIGHT
00:17:04.05\00:17:08.26
AGAINST THE JEWS AND THEY
CONQUERED ISRAEL AGAIN - THEY
00:17:08.29\00:17:11.66
DESTROYED THE CITY - THE JEWS
BECAME - THEY FELL OUT OF FAVOR
00:17:11.69\00:17:15.93
IN ROME AND THEY ASSOCIATED
CHRISTIANITY WITH JUDAISM.
00:17:15.96\00:17:20.67
WELL, THE CHRISTIANS WANTED
TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE
00:17:20.70\00:17:22.87
JEWS AND, FOLLOWING THE
CONVERSION OF CONSTANTINE, THEY
00:17:22.90\00:17:25.97
SAID, 'LOOK, WHY DON'T WE
JUST KEEP THE DAY THE PAGANS ARE
00:17:26.01\00:17:28.11
KEEPING? THE FIRST DAY - THE DAY
OF THE SUN' - BECAUSE THAT WAS
00:17:28.14\00:17:31.01
ALL ABOUT SUN WORSHIP - AND IT'S
THE DAY OF THE RESURRECTION.
00:17:31.05\00:17:35.28
AND THE CHURCH LEADERS BEGAN
TO ARGUE IT, BUT THERE WAS NO
00:17:35.32\00:17:37.45
SCRIPTURE FOR IT. IT
WAS A MAN-MADE LAW AND JESUS
00:17:37.49\00:17:41.49
SAID, 'WHY DO YOU KEEP THE
TRADITIONS OF MEN AND PUT THE
00:17:41.52\00:17:44.03
COMMANDMENT OF GOD ASIDE?
SO IN THE LAST DAYS GOD IS
00:17:44.06\00:17:47.50
CALLING PEOPLE BACK TO THE WORD
- NOT JUST ON THE SUBJECT OF THE
00:17:47.50\00:17:50.47
SABBATH TRUTH,
BUT A NUMBER OF AREAS.
00:17:50.50\00:17:53.07
LET ME FINISH THIS QUOTE HERE,
IT SAYS, HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY
00:17:53.10\00:17:56.94
- QUESTION - HAVE YOU ANY OTHER
WAY OF PROVING THAT THE CHURCH
00:17:56.97\00:18:00.04
HAS POWER TO
INSTITUTE FESTIVALS OF PRECEPT?
00:18:00.08\00:18:04.28
AND THE ANSWER IS, YES, HAD
SHE NOT SUCH POWER SHE COULD NOT
00:18:04.31\00:18:08.78
HAVE DONE THAT IN WHICH ALL
MODERN RELIGIONISTS AGREE WITH
00:18:08.82\00:18:12.25
HER - NOT ALL, BUT MANY - SHE
COULD NOT HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE
00:18:12.29\00:18:16.22
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY THE FIRST
DAY OF THE WEEK FOR SATURDAY THE
00:18:16.26\00:18:20.96
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK - FOR
THE OBSERVANCE OF SATURDAY THE
00:18:21.00\00:18:24.80
SEVENTH DAY, A CHANGE FOR
WHICH THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL
00:18:24.83\00:18:28.77
AUTHORITY. RIGHT IN
THE CATHOLIC CATECHISM
00:18:28.80\00:18:31.44
THEY WILL FREELY ADMIT
THIS IS NOT BIBLE-BASED.
00:18:31.47\00:18:34.71
WE DID IT BY A SENSE
OF OUR OWN AUTHORITY.
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.21
AND THEY CLAIM THAT WHAT THE
CHURCH SAYS AND WHAT THE POPE
00:18:38.25\00:18:41.58
SAYS IS MORE VALUABLE THAN WHAT
JESUS SAID - WHAT GOD SPOKE FROM
00:18:41.62\00:18:45.15
THE MOUNTAIN; WHAT THE
LORD WROTE WITH HIS FINGER -
00:18:45.19\00:18:47.36
I RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE. THIS IS AN ISSUE.
00:18:47.39\00:18:51.23
BOTTOM LINE IN THE LAST
DAYS IS WHO DO YOU WORSHIP?
00:18:51.26\00:18:53.60
WHO DO YOU OBEY? IS THE
MARK OF THE BEAST OR THE
00:18:53.63\00:18:57.73
SEAL OF GOD A VISIBLE
MARK? NOW I THINK WE'VE
00:18:57.77\00:19:00.94
PROBABLY MADE THIS CLEAR.
WHAT DOES 'IN THE HAND' MEAN?
00:19:00.97\00:19:04.54
IN THE ACTIONS. IN
THE HEAD, IN THE THOUGHTS.
00:19:04.57\00:19:06.81
HERE ARE SOME VERSES: HEBREWS
10:16, "SAITH THE LORD, 'I WILL
00:19:06.84\00:19:10.81
PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS,
AND IN THEIR MINDS WILL I WRITE
00:19:10.85\00:19:13.55
THEM.'" IT GOES ON TO SAY,
IN ECCLESIASTES 9, VERSE 10,
00:19:13.58\00:19:18.99
"WHATEVER THY HAND FINDETH
TO DO, DO IT WITH THY MIGHT."
00:19:19.02\00:19:22.96
THAT'S SYMBOLIC. YOUR
HAND MEANS YOUR ACTIONS, RIGHT?
00:19:22.99\00:19:25.59
AND YOU CAN READ, AGAIN, IN
ISAIAH 59:6, "THEIR WORKS ARE
00:19:25.63\00:19:28.40
WORKS OF INIQUITY, AND THE ACT
OF VIOLENCE IS IN THEIR HANDS."
00:19:28.43\00:19:32.73
YOU DON'T HAVE THE WORD
'VIOLENCE' IN YOUR HANDS, IT'S
00:19:32.77\00:19:34.47
SOMETHING THAT
REPRESENTS THE ACTIONS.
00:19:34.50\00:19:36.94
SO, WHEN SOMEONE RECEIVES
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN THE
00:19:36.97\00:19:39.91
FOREHEAD, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT IN THEIR WORSHIP.
00:19:39.94\00:19:42.94
MAYBE THEY'RE SINCERE, BUT
THEY'LL BE WORSHIPING THE LAWS
00:19:42.98\00:19:45.55
OF THE BEAST
INSTEAD OF THE LAWS OF GOD.
00:19:45.58\00:19:48.68
AND MAYBE SOME WON'T
AGREE, BUT THEY'LL DO IT.
00:19:48.72\00:19:51.85
IT'S IN THEIR ACTIONS - IT'S
NOT IN THEIR HEART, BUT THEY'RE
00:19:51.89\00:19:54.06
STILL GOING TO
FOLLOW IT OUT OF FEAR.
00:19:54.09\00:19:56.52
SO, IT SAYS THE BEAST HAS A
MARK TO REPRESENT ITS POWER AND
00:19:56.56\00:20:00.73
AUTHORITY. DOES
GOD ALSO HAVE A SIGN
00:20:00.76\00:20:02.56
OF HIS POWER AND
AUTHORITY? >>YES.
00:20:02.60\00:20:05.23
>>HE DOES, PRAISE THE LORD.
LOOK IN EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12.
00:20:05.27\00:20:08.97
"I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE
A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THAT
00:20:09.00\00:20:12.74
THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD THAT SANCTIFY THEM."
00:20:12.77\00:20:17.08
EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 20 - SIMILAR
VERSE - HE SAYS, "HALLOW MY
00:20:17.11\00:20:21.55
SABBATHS: AND THEY SHALL BE A
SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, THAT YE
00:20:21.58\00:20:24.85
MAY KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:20:24.89\00:20:27.59
IT'S A SIGN.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT
00:20:27.62\00:20:29.66
ABOUT THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT. GOD SAYS SO, AMEN?
00:20:29.69\00:20:32.29
IT'S A SYMBOL
OF WHO YOU WORSHIP.
00:20:32.33\00:20:34.46
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT'S
EASIER TO GIVE A PERSON YOUR
00:20:34.46\00:20:36.46
MONEY THAN TO
GIVE THEM YOUR TIME.
00:20:36.50\00:20:39.87
GOD SAYS, 'DO YOU
REALLY WORSHIP ME?
00:20:39.90\00:20:41.97
IT'S NOT A DONATION, I WANT YOUR
LIFE, BECAUSE TIME IS THE STUFF
00:20:42.00\00:20:45.94
LIFE IS MADE OF.
I WANT YOUR LOVE.
00:20:45.97\00:20:47.78
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOVE
RELATIONSHIP UNLESS YOU SPEND
00:20:47.81\00:20:49.34
TIME WITH SOMEBODY. AMEN?
00:20:49.38\00:20:51.81
"VERILY MY SABBATHS YE SHALL
KEEP: FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN
00:20:51.85\00:20:54.68
ME AND YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR
GENERATIONS: THAT YE MIGHT KNOW
00:20:54.72\00:20:58.25
THAT I AM THE LORD
THAT DOETH SANCTIFY YOU."
00:20:58.29\00:21:00.76
NOW, DO WE STILL NEED THE
SABBATH TO PROVE THAT HE CAN
00:21:00.79\00:21:03.39
CREATE AND RECREATE? DO
WE STILL NEED SANCTIFICATION?
00:21:03.43\00:21:07.86
>>AMEN.
>>WHENEVER WE'RE PRAYING FOR
00:21:07.86\00:21:09.43
HOLINESS AND FORGIVENESS, THE
SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT GOD, IF
00:21:09.46\00:21:12.30
HE CAN SANCTIFY A
DAY, HE CAN SANCTIFY US.
00:21:12.33\00:21:15.04
WHAT DID THE ANTICHRIST
POWER ATTEMPT TO CHANGE?
00:21:15.07\00:21:18.81
DANIEL 7:25, "HE WILL
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS."
00:21:18.84\00:21:23.48
THERE'S ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT YOU CAN POINT TO THAT IS
00:21:23.51\00:21:25.61
BOTH A TIME AND A LAW.
NOW HERE - WE QUOTED THIS
00:21:25.65\00:21:30.22
TO YOU THE OTHER DAY.
"THE POPE HAS POWER TO CHANGE
00:21:30.25\00:21:32.65
TIMES TO ABROGATE LAWS, AND
TO DISPENSE WITH ALL THINGS,
00:21:32.69\00:21:36.16
EVEN THE PRECEPTS OF CHRIST."
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:21:36.19\00:21:40.96
AND THEN THEY FREELY ADMIT -
IT SAYS HERE - "OF COURSE THE
00:21:41.00\00:21:44.00
CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMS THAT THE
CHANGE WAS HER ACT...AND THE ACT
00:21:44.03\00:21:48.00
IS A MARK" - THIS IS A LETTER,
OCTOBER 28, 1895, FROM C.F.
00:21:48.04\00:21:53.21
THOMAS, WHO SERVED
UNDER CARDINAL GIBBONS.
00:21:53.24\00:21:56.85
AND THEY ADMIT, 'YEAH, WE
CHANGED THE SABBATH.' AND THEY
00:21:56.88\00:21:58.85
SAY, "THIS IS A MARK OF
HER ECCLESIASTICAL POWER AND
00:21:58.88\00:22:02.18
AUTHORITY IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS."
NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
00:22:02.22\00:22:05.09
NOTICED, ON THE RIGHT THERE'S
A COPY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:22:05.12\00:22:06.99
I TOOK IN FRONT
OF A CATHOLIC CHURCH.
00:22:07.02\00:22:08.76
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE SECOND
COMMANDMENT IS JUST NOT THERE -
00:22:08.79\00:22:11.53
AND THEY DIVIDE THE
TENTH COMMANDMENT IN TWO.
00:22:11.56\00:22:13.66
THEY TOOK OUT THE
COMMANDMENT ABOUT IDOLATRY.
00:22:13.70\00:22:16.33
THEY MAKE THE
SABBATH A THIRD COMMANDMENT.
00:22:16.36\00:22:18.67
IT SAYS, "THE HOLY SABBATH
DAY WAS CHANGED FROM SATURDAY TO
00:22:18.70\00:22:22.70
SUNDAY...NOT FROM ANY DIRECTIONS
NOTED IN THE SCRIPTURES.
00:22:22.74\00:22:26.31
BUT FROM THE CHURCH'S
SENSE OF ITS OWN POWER..."
00:22:26.34\00:22:29.68
- NOTICE THIS QUOTE - "PEOPLE
WHO THINK THE SCRIPTURES SHOULD
00:22:29.71\00:22:33.15
BE THE SOLE AUTHORITY, SHOULD
LOGICALLY BECOME SEVENTH-DAY
00:22:33.18\00:22:37.05
ADVENTISTS AND
KEEP SATURDAY HOLY."
00:22:37.09\00:22:38.89
THAT'S FROM ST. CATHERINE'S
CATHOLIC CHURCH, MAY 21, 1995 -
00:22:38.92\00:22:43.32
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THAT ENDORSEMENT.
00:22:43.36\00:22:45.26
(LAUGHTER) WE DIDN'T
WRITE THAT, BUT THEY'RE RIGHT.
00:22:45.29\00:22:50.20
THEY SAY, 'LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING
TO GO BY THE BIBLE, YOU SHOULD
00:22:50.23\00:22:52.30
LOGICALLY BE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTISTS.' THEY'RE KIND OF
00:22:52.33\00:22:54.20
MAKING FUN OF MOST CHRISTIANS
THAT DON'T REALLY GO BY THE TEN
00:22:54.24\00:22:57.77
COMMANDMENTS. THEY'RE
FOLLOWING A TRADITION.
00:22:57.81\00:23:00.98
PETER AND THE APOSTLES, THEY
SAID, "WE OUGHT TO OBEY GOD" -
00:23:01.01\00:23:05.18
ACTS 5:29 - "RATHER
THAN MEN." THIS IS ALL ABOUT
00:23:05.21\00:23:07.78
'WHO IS YOUR GOD?'
YOU ARE THE SERVANTS
00:23:07.82\00:23:09.48
OF THE ONE YOU OBEY.
SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT WORSHIP.
00:23:09.52\00:23:11.69
THE BIG ISSUE IN THE
LAST DAYS IS WORSHIP.
00:23:11.72\00:23:13.86
THEY'RE BEING TOLD TO WORSHIP
THE BEAST OR WORSHIP JEHOVAH.
00:23:13.89\00:23:16.39
THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR ABOUT
HOW HE HAS SPECIFIED WE SHOULD
00:23:16.42\00:23:19.09
WORSHIP. AND HE ILLUSTRATES THAT
00:23:19.13\00:23:21.46
IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. >>AMEN.
00:23:21.50\00:23:23.47
>>WHEN YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT
JESUS AND TO FULLY FOLLOW HIM,
00:23:23.50\00:23:27.17
WHAT HAPPENS? CHRIST
SAID, "TAKE MY YOKE UPON
00:23:27.20\00:23:30.64
YOU, AND LEARN OF ME; FOR I
AM MEEK AND LOWLY IN HEART, AND
00:23:30.67\00:23:35.11
YE SHALL FIND
REST UNTO YOUR SOULS."
00:23:35.14\00:23:37.98
THE LORD WANTS US
TO HAVE THAT REST.
00:23:38.01\00:23:40.02
WHO IS GOING TO
ENJOY THE REST IN HEAVEN?
00:23:40.05\00:23:42.92
YOU READ ABOUT IT IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 15 - WE LIKE TO START
00:23:42.95\00:23:45.92
AND END WITH REVELATION - IT
SAID, "I SAW SOMETHING LIKE A
00:23:45.95\00:23:48.92
SEA OF GLASS MINGLED WITH FIRE.
00:23:48.96\00:23:51.69
AND THOSE WHO HAVE THE VICTORY
OVER THE BEAST, OVER HIS IMAGE,
00:23:51.73\00:23:55.73
AND OVER HIS MARK AND OVER THE
NUMBER OF HIS NAME, STANDING ON
00:23:55.76\00:24:00.44
THE SEA OF GLASS,
HAVING HARPS OF GOD."
00:24:00.47\00:24:03.41
AND THERE THEY ARE, IN
HEAVEN, THEY ARE REDEEMED.
00:24:03.44\00:24:06.37
THEY ARE SAVED. THEY'VE GOT THAT
REST AND THEY'VE GOT THAT PEACE,
00:24:06.41\00:24:09.48
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE
TRUTH. THEY HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD
00:24:09.51\00:24:12.85
AND THEY HAVE TURNED
FROM THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:24:12.88\00:24:15.45
NOW, WHEN YOU TAKE A STAND
FOR TRUTH, FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT
00:24:15.48\00:24:18.29
EXPERIENCE SOME STRUGGLES - AND
JESUS NEVER SAID, 'FOLLOW ME AND
00:24:18.32\00:24:23.96
IT'S GOING TO BE EASY.' HE SAID,
'IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU NEED TO
00:24:23.99\00:24:27.50
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW
ME.' BUT THE PROMISE IS THAT
00:24:27.56\00:24:30.97
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE PEACE AND REST.
00:24:31.00\00:24:34.30
IF YOU SEEK TO SAVE YOUR LIFE
AND LIVE FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL
00:24:34.34\00:24:38.61
LOSE IT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO FIND
YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED TO SAY 'NO'
00:24:38.64\00:24:42.74
TO SELF AND 'YES' TO JESUS AND
THEN YOU HAVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:24:42.78\00:24:46.25
HE SAID, 'I'VE COME THAT I MIGHT
GIVE YOU LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.
00:24:46.28\00:24:49.12
AND SO, WHEN YOU LEARN THINGS
LIKE THIS ABOUT THE BEAST AND
00:24:49.15\00:24:52.29
THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THE
SABBATH TRUTH, DOES IT TROUBLE
00:24:52.32\00:24:55.26
YOU? WELL, IT MAY RIGHT NOW BUT,
00:24:55.29\00:24:57.29
ULTIMATELY, WHY DOES GOD
WANT YOU TO KNOW THESE THINGS?
00:24:57.33\00:25:00.23
IS THE SABBATH
CURSED OR BLESSED?
00:25:00.26\00:25:02.50
>>BLESSED. >>HE
WANTS TO BLESS YOU.
00:25:02.53\00:25:05.30
SOME OF YOU HAVE NEVER
EXPERIENCED THAT BLESSING.
00:25:05.33\00:25:08.00
THERE ARE PEOPLE I KNOW
THAT ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.
00:25:08.04\00:25:10.31
YOU'VE HEARD
THESE THINGS FOR YEARS.
00:25:10.34\00:25:11.71
YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:25:11.74\00:25:13.44
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU PLAN
ON DOING IT BUT, 'OH, PASTOR
00:25:13.48\00:25:15.81
DOUG, IF I DO IT NOW, YOU
KNOW, I'LL GET KICKED OUT OF MY
00:25:15.84\00:25:18.61
CHURCH.' OR 'IF I TAKE A STAND
FOR THIS NOW, MY FAMILY - WE'VE
00:25:18.65\00:25:21.52
BEEN IN THIS - THEY'RE GOING TO
DENOUNCE ME.' I KNOW PEOPLE THAT
00:25:21.55\00:25:24.99
WHEN THEY TOOK A STAND FOR THE
TRUTH, THEIR FAMILY SAID, 'DON'T
00:25:25.02\00:25:27.69
EVER TALK TO US AGAIN.' 'I'M
GOING TO LOSE MY JOB.' SHADRACH,
00:25:27.72\00:25:34.56
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WERE
WILLING TO LOSE THEIR JOB AND
00:25:34.60\00:25:37.07
THEIR LIVES. JESUS
SAID, 'IT'S NOT ME AND
00:25:37.10\00:25:41.74
SOMETHING ELSE,' HE SAID,
'IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE ME, YOU
00:25:41.77\00:25:44.47
MUST LOVE ME MORE - FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBAND, WIFE, HOUSES,
00:25:44.51\00:25:48.44
LANDS, EVERYTHING.' HE
NEEDS FIRST PLACE IN YOUR LIFE.
00:25:48.48\00:25:51.81
>>AMEN. >>AND
WHEN YOU PUT HIM FIRST,
00:25:51.85\00:25:53.68
HE GIVES YOU EVERYTHING ELSE.
JESUS GOES ON AND HE SAYS, 'NO
00:25:53.72\00:25:56.99
MAN THAT HAS FORSAKEN FATHER,
MOTHER, HUSBANDS, WIVES, HOUSES,
00:25:57.02\00:26:00.56
LANDS, FOR MY SAKE AND
THE GOSPEL, HE'LL RECEIVE A
00:26:00.59\00:26:03.56
HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
IN THIS LIFE.' >>AMEN.
00:26:03.59\00:26:07.66
>>YOU MAY HAVE PERSECUTION, BUT
HE GIVES YOU A HUNDRED-FOLD MORE
00:26:07.66\00:26:10.90
- AND ETERNAL LIFE
IN THE WORLD TO COME.
00:26:10.93\00:26:12.90
THERE'S GOING TO BE TRIALS.
THERE'LL BE CROSSES - LIFE IS
00:26:12.93\00:26:15.80
TOUGH, BUT IT'S A
LOT TOUGHER TO BE LOST.
00:26:15.84\00:26:18.61
IT'S A LOT TOUGHER TO NOT HAVE
GOD WALKING WITH YOU BECAUSE
00:26:18.64\00:26:23.04
YOU'RE REJECTING HIM - TO
HAVE NO PEACE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
00:26:23.08\00:26:26.88
AND SO, WE SHARE ALL THESE
THINGS - IT'S ALL ABOUT - IT'S
00:26:26.92\00:26:29.98
NOT JUST ABOUT ONE COMMANDMENT,
IT'S ALL ABOUT ONE HEART -
00:26:30.02\00:26:33.05
SURRENDERING YOUR HEARTS TO GOD.
HAVE YOU SAID, 'LORD, I WANT
00:26:33.09\00:26:38.29
YOU TO BE FIRST IN MY LIFE.
I'M WILLING TO SAY 'YES' TO YOU
00:26:38.33\00:26:42.10
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.' JESUS
SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING 50/50 -
00:26:42.13\00:26:45.33
YOU AND THE WORLD - 50 PERCENT
WORLD/50 PERCENT ME' - HE SAID,
00:26:45.37\00:26:49.27
'YOU'RE EITHER
WITH ME OR AGAINST ME.'
