We are racing towards the
global crisis at the close.
00:00:04.47\00:00:09.57
God is going to set
up His kingdom on earth.
00:00:09.60\00:00:13.88
Preparation for the
tribulation and the translation
00:00:13.91\00:00:18.01
is to develop a
character like Jesus Christ.
00:00:18.05\00:00:21.15
To reach every hamlet,
every village, every man,
00:00:21.18\00:00:24.72
every child,
every person in India,
00:00:24.75\00:00:27.19
every person in South America
00:00:27.22\00:00:28.66
must hear these
Three Angels' messages.
00:00:28.69\00:00:32.36
These are
stories that illustrate
00:00:34.56\00:00:36.90
the kind of fabric of
character and perseverance
00:00:36.93\00:00:39.70
that we need to go
through the tribulation
00:00:39.73\00:00:42.34
just as certainly as they did.
00:00:42.37\00:00:44.17
The Bible makes it very clear
00:00:44.21\00:00:45.64
we are living
in an unusual hour,
00:00:45.67\00:00:48.04
the last grains of sand
00:00:48.08\00:00:49.61
are trickling
through the hourglass of time
00:00:49.64\00:00:52.21
and the door of probation
is about to swing shut.
00:00:52.25\00:00:55.25
Beware of the deadly d's,
00:01:01.12\00:01:04.63
you are trying
to have the victory,
00:01:04.66\00:01:06.13
trying to overcome
00:01:06.16\00:01:07.50
in the last days
of earth's history,
00:01:07.53\00:01:09.96
beware of the deadly d's of
distractions and deceptions.
00:01:10.00\00:01:15.14
That sets the pace and tone
00:01:15.17\00:01:17.27
for tonight's hot
topic of the antichrist.
00:01:17.31\00:01:20.51
There are so many
lethal destructive deceptions
00:01:20.54\00:01:26.51
captivating the world.
00:01:26.55\00:01:27.88
Is that true? Yes
or no. It is true.
00:01:27.92\00:01:31.09
There are so many
popular false teachings
00:01:31.12\00:01:34.82
taking people's eyes
from looking solely to Jesus
00:01:34.86\00:01:39.29
for salvation.
00:01:39.33\00:01:40.83
How many of you agree there's
only one way to salvation?
00:01:40.86\00:01:43.26
Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth and the life.
00:01:43.30\00:01:46.00
No man goes to
the Father but by me."
00:01:46.03\00:01:48.54
John 14:6.
00:01:48.57\00:01:50.44
And so the thrust
of the gospel of Jesus,
00:01:50.47\00:01:56.18
now listen, I know where
I'm going, just stay with me.
00:01:56.21\00:02:00.82
The thrust of the good
news is to look to Jesus.
00:02:00.85\00:02:05.55
I mean, that's
what it's all about,
00:02:05.59\00:02:06.92
looking to Jesus,
to trust in Jesus,
00:02:06.96\00:02:11.69
to pray in the name of
Jesus and to live for Jesus.
00:02:11.73\00:02:16.10
How many of you agree that's
what the gospel is all about?
00:02:16.13\00:02:17.90
It's about becoming like
Jesus, talking about Jesus,
00:02:17.93\00:02:22.00
living for Jesus.
00:02:22.04\00:02:23.74
And the dreadful
results of false gospels.
00:02:23.77\00:02:27.84
How many agree, there's
a lot of gospels out there
00:02:27.88\00:02:30.38
but there is
only one true gospel.
00:02:30.41\00:02:32.91
Now watch this.
00:02:32.95\00:02:35.12
The false gospels
lead us to or lead people
00:02:35.15\00:02:38.45
to not you, lead people to
take their eyes off of Jesus,
00:02:38.49\00:02:45.29
distorting the
truth about Jesus.
00:02:45.33\00:02:48.53
You see, "Jesus is
the truth." John 14:6.
00:02:48.56\00:02:54.34
And He said,
"Sanctify them in thy truth,
00:02:54.37\00:02:57.61
thy word is truth."
00:02:57.64\00:02:58.97
John 17:17.
00:02:59.01\00:03:00.68
And the Bible says in
Timothy that "God wants everyone
00:03:00.71\00:03:03.95
to come to a
knowledge of the truth."
00:03:03.98\00:03:06.51
and "The truth
shall set you free."
00:03:06.55\00:03:08.25
John 8: 32. Is
the truth important?
00:03:08.28\00:03:12.15
And so distorting
the truth about Jesus.
00:03:12.19\00:03:15.66
That is the work
of the antichrist,
00:03:15.69\00:03:17.36
taking your eyes of Jesus.
00:03:17.39\00:03:18.96
That's the work
of the antichrist.
00:03:18.99\00:03:20.33
The antichrist
has a false gospel,
00:03:20.36\00:03:23.57
that's really no gospel
00:03:23.60\00:03:26.43
and the false gospel
leads man to depend on man
00:03:26.47\00:03:33.04
instead of
depending only on Jesus.
00:03:33.07\00:03:35.14
It leads man to
try to save themselves.
00:03:35.18\00:03:39.35
But the true gospel
leads us to realize,
00:03:39.38\00:03:42.78
"Blessed are
the poor in Spirit."
00:03:42.82\00:03:44.52
We are spiritually
bankrupt without Jesus.
00:03:44.55\00:03:47.76
"Without Me you can do
nothing." Matthew 5: 3.
00:03:47.79\00:03:50.76
"Blessed are
the poor in Spirit."
00:03:50.79\00:03:52.76
Those who feel they
are in desperate need,
00:03:52.79\00:03:55.40
spiritual
bankruptcy apart from Jesus.
00:03:55.43\00:03:57.93
"Theirs is the kingdom
of heaven." Matthew 5: 3.
00:03:57.97\00:04:02.44
Can you see the contrast
between the two gospels?
00:04:02.47\00:04:06.57
One gospel, true
gospel, full gospel.
00:04:06.61\00:04:10.55
Look to Jesus, trust in Jesus,
love Jesus, become like Jesus.
00:04:10.58\00:04:15.28
False gospel, oh, it
might, profess to uplift Jesus
00:04:15.32\00:04:19.05
but, oh, look to Jesus
and look to thus and so.
00:04:19.09\00:04:24.63
Look to Jesus and,
how many of you agree
00:04:24.66\00:04:26.90
we don't need an and?
00:04:26.93\00:04:30.77
Jesus, period.
00:04:30.80\00:04:32.77
Exclamation mark,
but not a question mark.
00:04:32.80\00:04:37.21
The word of God is all about
00:04:37.24\00:04:38.94
how Jesus saves
sinners from sin.
00:04:38.97\00:04:40.81
"Thou shalt call his name Jesus,
00:04:40.84\00:04:42.58
for He will save His
people from their sins."
00:04:42.61\00:04:47.28
So the full
gospel is He saves you
00:04:47.32\00:04:50.75
from what's destroying you.
00:04:50.79\00:04:52.65
How many agree
sin will destroy you?
00:04:52.69\00:04:54.49
And that's why
He loves us too much
00:04:54.52\00:04:56.49
to leave us in our sin.
00:04:56.52\00:04:58.03
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:04:58.06\00:05:00.20
that we are to
behold Jesus as our savior
00:05:00.23\00:05:04.03
and the Bible says, God
says, the Lord Jesus says,
00:05:04.07\00:05:08.00
"Look unto Me and be ye saved."
00:05:08.04\00:05:10.37
How are you
saved? You look to Jesus.
00:05:10.41\00:05:13.31
Look to Jesus, not just once,
00:05:13.34\00:05:14.68
"He is the author and finisher."
00:05:14.71\00:05:16.31
Looking unto Jesus, author
and while He is perfecting you,
00:05:16.34\00:05:21.12
you're looking, looking,
looking because Hebrews 12: 2,
00:05:21.15\00:05:24.72
"Looking unto Jesus," He's got
you started by looking to Him
00:05:24.75\00:05:28.59
and it will keep you
going by looking to Him,
00:05:28.62\00:05:30.86
He'll perfect your
faith which is looking to Him.
00:05:30.89\00:05:33.46
It's all about looking to Jesus.
00:05:33.50\00:05:35.06
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
00:05:35.10\00:05:37.33
Look full in His wonderful face.
00:05:37.37\00:05:39.03
And the things of
Earth will grow strangely dim
00:05:39.07\00:05:41.20
in the light of
His glory and grace."
00:05:41.24\00:05:43.94
Look to Jesus.
00:05:43.97\00:05:46.54
It was Isaiah 45:22,
00:05:46.57\00:05:48.11
well, the antichrist,
the antichrist, perpetrates,
00:05:48.14\00:05:53.55
propagates false
teachings about Jesus.
00:05:53.58\00:05:59.79
So that's why we
are very interested
00:05:59.82\00:06:01.72
in this subject
because would you agree,
00:06:01.76\00:06:04.39
we cannot be
taken away from Jesus?
00:06:04.43\00:06:10.10
We must hold on to Jesus.
Amen. We must hold on to Jesus.
00:06:10.13\00:06:15.27
The antichrist is a combination
of distraction and deception.
00:06:15.30\00:06:20.21
So we will discover ten
clues that will identify
00:06:20.24\00:06:23.35
prophecies' most
wanted, the Antichrist.
00:06:23.38\00:06:25.68
So is the antichrist
is already here or near?
00:06:25.71\00:06:30.65
We will discover the
Antichrist is already here.
00:06:30.69\00:06:34.86
Antichrist is here.
00:06:34.89\00:06:36.89
That maybe a new revelation,
00:06:36.93\00:06:39.33
that maybe
shocking in the extreme,
00:06:39.36\00:06:41.93
but don't believe
it until I validate it.
00:06:41.96\00:06:44.10
But I'm just telling
you what I'm gonna tell you
00:06:44.13\00:06:46.87
and then I'll tell you and then
I'll tell you what I told you.
00:06:46.90\00:06:49.87
All right, here we go.
The Antichrist is here.
00:06:49.90\00:06:52.87
This is not
Ripley's believe it or not!
00:06:52.91\00:06:55.54
Now you understand you
have that in Branson, right.
00:06:55.58\00:06:57.88
Well, this is not
Ripley's believe it or not.
00:06:57.91\00:07:00.82
This is Daniel's
00:07:00.85\00:07:02.18
or Revelation's
believe it or not.
00:07:02.22\00:07:05.62
Daniel's smashing
truth of the antichrist
00:07:05.65\00:07:08.59
has never been more relevant.
00:07:08.62\00:07:10.89
Indeed, while many are
looking into the future
00:07:10.93\00:07:13.19
when some secular
dictator will arise
00:07:13.23\00:07:16.53
and capture the
imagination of the masses.
00:07:16.56\00:07:19.00
Could it be that meanwhile,
00:07:19.03\00:07:20.37
the antichrist is
underneath everyone's noses?
00:07:20.40\00:07:22.27
Could it be that the antichrist
is in clear view of everyone
00:07:25.31\00:07:28.94
but we are looking
in the wrong directions?
00:07:28.98\00:07:34.75
So the masses are
going to fall in line
00:07:34.78\00:07:37.35
in the following the antichrist.
00:07:37.39\00:07:39.32
The majority are
going to swept away
00:07:39.35\00:07:42.12
by his sinister lies.
00:07:42.16\00:07:44.69
The world will obey
00:07:44.73\00:07:47.00
the marching
orders of the antichrist,
00:07:47.03\00:07:50.73
with the exception of few.
00:07:50.77\00:07:53.50
"Narrow is the way and
few there'd be to find it."
00:07:53.54\00:07:55.80
Matthew 7: 13 and 14.
00:07:55.84\00:07:58.17
So who is the antichrist?
Who is the antichrist?
00:07:58.21\00:08:02.38
Will the real
antichrist please stand up?
00:08:02.41\00:08:05.68
Don't expect it.
00:08:05.71\00:08:08.62
But we're gonna
identify the antichrist.
00:08:08.65\00:08:11.25
So who do people, experts,
think the antichrist is?
00:08:11.29\00:08:14.42
Well, are you ready?
Heading a very lengthy list.
00:08:14.46\00:08:18.56
Pope, Gorbachev,
Hitler, Ronald Wilson Reagan,
00:08:18.59\00:08:21.96
I mean, after all
six letter in Ronald,
00:08:22.00\00:08:24.27
six letters in
Wilson, six letters in Reagan,
00:08:24.30\00:08:26.80
six, six, six,
00:08:26.84\00:08:28.17
well, your name might
come out to six, six, six.
00:08:28.20\00:08:31.34
If it does, just don't
tell anybody, all right.
00:08:31.37\00:08:33.17
Lenin, Saddam Hussein,
Trotsky and Joseph Stalin,
00:08:33.21\00:08:38.28
that list goes on.
00:08:38.31\00:08:39.65
Chairman Mao, Albert
Pike, Nero, Henry Kissinger,
00:08:39.68\00:08:42.72
Barak Obama, Islamic figure.
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.69
Is it a Muslim, a
Jewish, Christian, secular?
00:08:44.72\00:08:47.99
Well, guess what?
00:08:48.02\00:08:49.36
We are not
interested in blind guesswork,
00:08:49.39\00:08:52.49
we are not
interested in idle speculation
00:08:52.53\00:08:55.16
or tabloid sensationalism
or novel fiction books
00:08:55.20\00:08:59.13
or wild spun theories.
00:08:59.17\00:09:00.57
Am I clear, am I thorough there?
00:09:00.60\00:09:02.20
We are not interested in that.
00:09:02.24\00:09:03.81
Remember, the
antichrist is extremely popular.
00:09:03.84\00:09:08.11
That's right.
00:09:08.14\00:09:09.48
So this is the
solved case tonight
00:09:09.51\00:09:11.75
of the bizarre
little talking horn.
00:09:11.78\00:09:17.29
That is truth,
stranger than fiction.
00:09:17.32\00:09:20.39
Can you imagine a talking horn?
00:09:20.42\00:09:23.69
Well, how did Daniel respond
to the vision of the antichrist
00:09:23.73\00:09:28.26
through the symbolism
of a bizarre talking horn?
00:09:28.30\00:09:31.30
How did he respond to it?
00:09:31.33\00:09:33.17
Well, he considered it
to be shocking truth so much
00:09:33.20\00:09:36.44
so that in Daniel 7:28
00:09:36.47\00:09:38.57
and we're gonna
spend a lot of time
00:09:38.61\00:09:40.24
in Daniel 7 here tonight.
00:09:40.28\00:09:42.24
"This is the end of the matter.
00:09:42.28\00:09:43.61
I, Daniel, was deeply
troubled by my thoughts,
00:09:43.65\00:09:45.45
and my face turned pale,
00:09:45.48\00:09:46.82
but I kept the
matter to myself."
00:09:46.85\00:09:48.72
Daniel 7:28.
00:09:48.75\00:09:51.15
So therefore, don't be surprised
00:09:51.19\00:09:54.52
if you find this discovery
very shocking and troubling
00:09:54.56\00:09:58.43
just like Daniel did.
00:09:58.46\00:10:01.16
So fasten your seat belt,
you still think you're ready?
00:10:01.20\00:10:04.33
You still want
to know the truth,
00:10:04.37\00:10:05.70
even if it makes
your face turn pale?
00:10:05.73\00:10:08.74
We can do it. Amen. We can
do this with God's help. Amen.
00:10:08.77\00:10:12.01
And so tonight, let us examine
the all overwhelming evidence
00:10:12.04\00:10:16.95
that exposes the antichrist.
00:10:16.98\00:10:21.48
And so therefore, what
we want to do right now
00:10:21.52\00:10:24.19
is take our Bible and
turn to the Book of Daniel.
00:10:24.22\00:10:28.12
Daniel, I'm turning there
with you to Daniel Chapter 7,
00:10:28.16\00:10:33.36
go to Daniel 7
and put it in park
00:10:33.40\00:10:36.73
'cause we're gonna zero
in on this sublime chapter
00:10:36.77\00:10:41.00
tucked away in an
ancient scrolls of Daniel.
00:10:41.04\00:10:44.74
Daniel, Daniel is more
than Daniel in the lion's den.
00:10:44.77\00:10:48.84
The stories of Daniel
00:10:48.88\00:10:50.68
illustrate the
prophecies of Daniel.
00:10:50.71\00:10:53.38
I want you to
notice this, beloved.
00:10:53.42\00:10:55.28
Daniel 7 is an
instant replay of Daniel 2.
00:10:55.32\00:11:00.56
It's like a deja vu,
00:11:00.59\00:11:01.99
it's like a repeat
performance, all right.
00:11:02.02\00:11:04.63
In Daniel Chapter 2,
00:11:04.66\00:11:06.19
how many remember opening night?
00:11:06.23\00:11:08.30
In opening night, we
focused on Daniel Chapter 2's,
00:11:08.33\00:11:13.80
multi-metallic image,
00:11:13.84\00:11:15.70
an imposing image that was
revealed to Nebuchadnezzar,
00:11:15.74\00:11:20.28
and then subsequently
to Daniel in a dream.
00:11:20.31\00:11:24.85
And this imposing awesome image
are comprised of four metals
00:11:24.88\00:11:30.12
represented a succession
of four world empires.
00:11:30.15\00:11:33.72
The head of gold
represented what, every one?
00:11:33.76\00:11:36.73
The head gold
would represent Babylon.
00:11:36.76\00:11:41.63
The chest of
silver would represent
00:11:41.66\00:11:44.87
none other than the Medes
and the Persians, two arms,
00:11:44.90\00:11:48.30
coalition of dual dynasty
00:11:48.34\00:11:50.04
until the Persians
took the ascendancy,
00:11:50.07\00:11:52.31
you can check out
in your history books,
00:11:52.34\00:11:53.94
you see, prophecy
is history in advance
00:11:53.98\00:11:57.05
so history
confirms Bible prophecies
00:11:57.08\00:12:00.32
that have
already been fulfilled.
00:12:00.35\00:12:01.95
And so yeah,
Babylon, Medo-Persia,
00:12:01.98\00:12:04.32
then comes the
bronze or brass thighs
00:12:04.35\00:12:07.06
represented
fittingly the empire of Greece,
00:12:07.09\00:12:11.33
then followed in
succession the fourth empire
00:12:11.36\00:12:15.46
was represented by
the long iron legs,
00:12:15.50\00:12:19.10
the pagan iron monarchy of Rome.
00:12:19.13\00:12:23.34
And then Rome was divided,
00:12:23.37\00:12:24.81
not succeeded by
another world empire
00:12:24.84\00:12:27.91
but it was
divided into initially,
00:12:27.94\00:12:30.58
originally into ten kingdoms.
00:12:30.61\00:12:33.21
There's more than that now.
00:12:33.25\00:12:34.98
But ten kingdoms representing
the break of the Roman Empire
00:12:35.02\00:12:38.75
or Europe and it was
part clay and part iron,
00:12:38.79\00:12:43.36
meaning, militarily,
politically, economically
00:12:43.39\00:12:47.73
that some of the
kingdoms of Europe
00:12:47.76\00:12:49.26
would be stronger than others.
00:12:49.30\00:12:52.13
And so here you see a
line up of four world empires
00:12:52.17\00:12:57.07
and then the division
of fourth World Empire
00:12:57.11\00:13:00.28
represented
there by the ten toes,
00:13:00.31\00:13:02.14
the European nations
of the pagan Roman Empire.
00:13:02.18\00:13:07.05
So Daniel 7 is an
instant replay of Daniel 2.
00:13:07.08\00:13:10.85
In Daniel Chapter 7
though, instead of metals,
00:13:10.89\00:13:14.86
you have what?
00:13:14.89\00:13:16.52
You have beasts.
Everybody say beasts.
00:13:16.56\00:13:19.36
All right. Look at Daniel 7:1.
00:13:19.39\00:13:22.90
"In the first year of
Belshazzar king of Babylon,
00:13:22.93\00:13:25.10
Daniel had a dream and visions
of his head while on his bed.
00:13:25.13\00:13:29.14
Then he wrote down the
dream, telling the main facts.
00:13:29.17\00:13:32.11
Daniel spoke, saying, 'I
saw in my vision by night,
00:13:32.14\00:13:36.14
and behold, the
four winds of heaven
00:13:36.18\00:13:38.18
were stirring
up the Great Sea.'"
00:13:38.21\00:13:40.08
In Bible prophecy,
sea represents populations
00:13:40.12\00:13:44.19
or masses of
people, a sea of people
00:13:44.22\00:13:47.96
according to the prophetic
key that unlocks the scripture.
00:13:47.99\00:13:51.99
Now remember, the
Bible interprets itself.
00:13:52.03\00:13:54.76
The Bible interprets itself.
00:13:54.80\00:13:57.17
In Revelation
17:15, water equals people
00:13:57.20\00:14:02.44
or population basis.
00:14:02.47\00:14:04.17
And then the wind
whipping up the people
00:14:04.21\00:14:08.14
or whipping up the waters.
00:14:08.18\00:14:09.94
Wind, according to
the book of Zechariah
00:14:09.98\00:14:12.31
and other scriptures represents
strife among the nations,
00:14:12.35\00:14:16.28
among the people
00:14:16.32\00:14:17.65
and out of that
would come these beasts.
00:14:17.69\00:14:20.26
What could these
beasts represent?
00:14:20.29\00:14:21.92
I'll show you here
in the moment here.
00:14:21.96\00:14:24.09
I want you to notice
here, "Daniel spoke, saying,
00:14:24.13\00:14:27.10
'I saw in my visions by night,
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.90
and behold, the
four winds of heaven
00:14:28.93\00:14:30.43
were stirring up the Great Sea.'
00:14:30.47\00:14:32.77
And four great
beasts came up from the sea,
00:14:32.80\00:14:36.87
each different from the other."
00:14:36.91\00:14:40.18
Now God's purpose
for using rich symbolism
00:14:40.21\00:14:42.88
in the books of
Daniel and Revelation
00:14:42.91\00:14:44.71
is to catch our
attention, peak our interest
00:14:44.75\00:14:47.42
and lead us to a
knowledge of Jesus.
00:14:47.45\00:14:50.95
That's the ultimate goal.
00:14:50.99\00:14:52.32
How many of you
agree, it's all about Jesus?
00:14:52.35\00:14:55.02
But God wants to tell
us, Jesus wants to tell us
00:14:55.06\00:14:58.26
that He knew
everything in advance
00:14:58.29\00:14:59.76
so that you would
trust in the power of Jesus.
00:14:59.79\00:15:03.53
How many of you agree
He knew all ahead of time?
00:15:03.57\00:15:05.70
Number one, He's all powerful,
number two, He can sustain you
00:15:05.73\00:15:09.60
'cause He knew what
you would go through.
00:15:09.64\00:15:11.37
Amen. And so I want you
to notice here, beloved.
00:15:11.41\00:15:15.04
Here we have four strange beasts
00:15:15.08\00:15:16.58
arising from the
tumultuous waters, all right.
00:15:16.61\00:15:19.95
We see that very,
very, very clearly here.
00:15:19.98\00:15:22.65
Now in this
panorama prophetic vision
00:15:22.68\00:15:24.89
we see some intriguing symbols.
00:15:24.92\00:15:27.26
We need to carefully prayerfully
00:15:27.29\00:15:29.46
decode the symbolic language.
00:15:29.49\00:15:31.63
We know what sea represents,
we know what wind represents.
00:15:31.66\00:15:35.20
But what does a beast
symbolize in Bible prophecy?
00:15:35.23\00:15:38.47
Let's let the Bible
answer that question.
00:15:38.50\00:15:42.04
In Daniel 7:23.
00:15:42.07\00:15:45.64
"Thus he said, 'The fourth
beast shall be a fourth, '"
00:15:45.67\00:15:48.28
what everyone?
00:15:48.31\00:15:49.64
"Kingdom on earth,
00:15:49.68\00:15:51.01
which shall be different
from all other kingdoms,
00:15:51.05\00:15:52.51
and shall
devour the whole earth,
00:15:52.55\00:15:54.58
trample it and
break it in pieces."
00:15:54.62\00:15:56.99
All right. Now
look here at verse 3.
00:15:57.02\00:16:00.49
"And four great
beasts came up from the sea,
00:16:00.52\00:16:02.79
each different from the other.
00:16:02.82\00:16:04.26
The first was like a
lion, and had eagle's wings.
00:16:04.29\00:16:07.36
I watched till its
wings were plucked off;
00:16:07.40\00:16:09.40
and it was
lifted up from the earth
00:16:09.43\00:16:11.50
and made to stand
on two feet like a man,
00:16:11.53\00:16:14.17
and a man's
heart was given to it."
00:16:14.20\00:16:16.40
So the first
beast, that is Babylon
00:16:16.44\00:16:20.14
because there's a
correspondence here.
00:16:20.18\00:16:22.34
Here we have the
dramatic rise and fall
00:16:22.38\00:16:24.68
of four
successive world empires,
00:16:24.71\00:16:27.65
the same line of empires that
we saw in Daniel 2, all right.
00:16:27.68\00:16:32.02
And so the head of gold,
00:16:32.05\00:16:34.32
Babylon was known
as the golden city
00:16:34.36\00:16:37.06
and so the
superlative of metals,
00:16:37.09\00:16:39.76
gold fittingly
represents Babylon.
00:16:39.79\00:16:42.76
And then the king of
beasts represents Babylon,
00:16:42.80\00:16:46.80
the king of beasts represents
Babylon here, its winged-lion.
00:16:46.84\00:16:49.87
And winged-lions were
actually on reliefs there
00:16:49.90\00:16:55.08
on the walls of ancient Babylon.
00:16:55.11\00:16:57.61
Now look here
at the second beast
00:16:57.65\00:16:59.68
described here in verse 5.
00:16:59.71\00:17:02.52
"Suddenly another
beast, a second, like a bear.
00:17:02.55\00:17:04.75
It was raised up on one side."
00:17:04.79\00:17:06.59
The Persians ultimately took
the ascendancy over the Medes
00:17:06.62\00:17:09.92
or originally
they worked together.
00:17:09.96\00:17:12.09
"And had three
ribs in its mouth,"
00:17:12.13\00:17:13.80
when it conquered Babylon,
00:17:13.83\00:17:15.16
it conquered two
other kingdoms as well.
00:17:15.20\00:17:18.67
"And hence you have three ribs
in its mouth between its teeth.
00:17:18.70\00:17:22.10
And they said thus to it:
'Arise, devour much flesh!'"
00:17:22.14\00:17:25.81
All right, third kingdom.
00:17:25.84\00:17:27.81
"After this I looked, and there
was another, like a leopard."
00:17:27.84\00:17:30.85
Alexander, the Great
came in like a leopard,
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.42
flying leopard
00:17:33.45\00:17:35.45
with rapidity conquered
the then world overnight.
00:17:35.48\00:17:38.85
"Which had on its
back four wings of a bird.
00:17:38.89\00:17:41.12
The beast also had four heads,
and dominion was given to it."
00:17:41.16\00:17:43.66
All right, fourth
beast now would be Rome.
00:17:43.69\00:17:46.33
"After this I saw
in the night visions,
00:17:46.36\00:17:48.16
behold, a fourth beast,
00:17:48.20\00:17:49.56
dreadful and
terrible, exceedingly strong.
00:17:49.60\00:17:51.57
It had huge iron teeth."
00:17:51.60\00:17:53.37
You don't want to see
this tonight when you dream.
00:17:53.40\00:17:55.50
This is a nightmarish creature.
00:17:55.54\00:17:57.47
"It had huge iron teeth, it was
devouring, breaking in pieces,
00:17:57.51\00:18:00.24
and trampling the
residue with its feet.
00:18:00.28\00:18:02.31
It was different
from all the beasts
00:18:02.34\00:18:04.51
that were before it,
and it had ten horns."
00:18:04.55\00:18:07.62
I mean, this is a
mean looking creature
00:18:07.65\00:18:09.15
if I ever saw one, right.
00:18:09.18\00:18:10.85
So I want you to
notice here, beloved.
00:18:10.89\00:18:13.12
What world empire is next?
00:18:13.15\00:18:16.49
Well, there wouldn't be
another next ruling empire.
00:18:16.52\00:18:20.96
Instead, what you have?
00:18:21.00\00:18:22.90
You have the
Lion-Babylon, Bear- Medo-Persia,
00:18:22.93\00:18:25.40
Leopard- Greece, then a Dragon
00:18:25.43\00:18:27.24
like ten horn
iron teeth creature
00:18:27.27\00:18:29.27
that's ferocious and killing
wherever it goes, that's Rome.
00:18:29.30\00:18:32.87
What world empire is next?
00:18:32.91\00:18:34.64
No, there would be
the ten divisions of Rome
00:18:34.68\00:18:37.01
represented by the ten,
00:18:37.05\00:18:39.31
the ten toes in Daniel 2's
image, right, the ten toes.
00:18:39.35\00:18:42.85
But in Daniel 7,
instead of ten toes,
00:18:42.88\00:18:45.15
what you have, ten?
00:18:45.19\00:18:46.82
Horns, all right.
00:18:46.86\00:18:48.56
Now those ten
divisions of Rome, originally,
00:18:48.59\00:18:52.26
these were the original tribes
that would have descendents
00:18:52.29\00:18:57.70
and make up the
kingdoms of modern counterparts
00:18:57.73\00:19:01.80
or the modern
nations of Europe today
00:19:01.84\00:19:03.57
with the exception of three.
00:19:03.61\00:19:05.47
The Alamanni, the
Germans. The Franks, the French.
00:19:05.51\00:19:07.98
The Saxons, the English.
The Visigoths, the Spanish.
00:19:08.01\00:19:10.51
Burgundians, Swiss.
00:19:10.55\00:19:12.01
Lombard, Italians
and Suvi, Portuguese.
00:19:12.05\00:19:14.25
I repeat, these ten
original tribes or kingdoms
00:19:14.28\00:19:18.55
find their modern counterparts
in the modern nations
00:19:18.59\00:19:21.59
of Europe today with
the exception of three.
00:19:21.62\00:19:24.39
Keep that in mind.
Everybody, say the number three.
00:19:24.43\00:19:27.36
It has everything to do
00:19:27.40\00:19:28.73
with the rise of the antichrist.
00:19:28.76\00:19:32.70
Now we're gonna zero
in on the next verse.
00:19:32.73\00:19:36.87
Everybody, say next verse.
00:19:36.91\00:19:38.84
All right, here
we go, next verse.
00:19:38.87\00:19:40.78
Now we need to
downshift, all right.
00:19:40.81\00:19:45.48
"I was considering the horns,
and there was another horn,
00:19:45.51\00:19:51.39
a little one, coming
up," where? "among them,"
00:19:51.42\00:19:57.16
among the horns, "before
whom three of the first horns
00:19:57.19\00:20:02.10
were plucked out by the roots.
00:20:02.13\00:20:05.60
And there, in this horn,"
00:20:05.63\00:20:07.87
it's eerie, it's surreal,
00:20:07.90\00:20:12.67
"were eyes like
the eyes of a man,
00:20:12.71\00:20:15.91
and a mouth
speaking pompous words."
00:20:15.94\00:20:17.68
Now that captures my
attention. Daniel 7:8.
00:20:17.71\00:20:22.25
So this is the
solved case of the bizarre
00:20:22.28\00:20:25.39
talking horn, the
little talking horn.
00:20:25.42\00:20:29.79
How many of you
remember Mister Ed?
00:20:29.82\00:20:31.56
I grew up with Mister Ed.
00:20:31.59\00:20:32.93
Now that was some
fascinating animation
00:20:32.96\00:20:37.23
like that animal talked.
00:20:37.27\00:20:39.23
That horse really talked
and we'll be looking at it like,
00:20:39.27\00:20:42.70
"Wow, that looks so real."
00:20:42.74\00:20:44.07
How many of you
grew up with Mister Ed?
00:20:44.11\00:20:45.91
Now with special
effects, I mean, forget it.
00:20:45.94\00:20:50.31
But you know what?
00:20:50.35\00:20:51.68
God was way ahead of everybody.
00:20:51.71\00:20:54.48
You've got a talking horn
00:20:54.52\00:20:57.99
and that was way back
in the Book of Daniel.
00:20:58.02\00:21:01.96
What I want you to notice here,
00:21:01.99\00:21:03.66
God is trying to
get our attention.
00:21:03.69\00:21:06.29
Who is this little horn?
00:21:06.33\00:21:09.53
In Daniel 7 there is a catalog

00:22:33.78\00:22:35.88
Ten prophetic
clues from Daniel 7.
00:22:38.35\00:22:42.52
First, I'm gonna read a
select few verses in Daniel 7
00:22:42.56\00:22:47.46
and then we will
look at those clues
00:22:47.50\00:22:50.17
that come from these
few handful cluster verses.
00:22:50.20\00:22:54.10
All right.
00:22:54.14\00:22:55.47
Daniel 7, we've
already read verses 7 and 8.
00:22:55.50\00:22:58.84
Now let's look
at verse number 20.
00:22:58.87\00:23:03.55
"And the ten horns
that were on its head,
00:23:03.58\00:23:05.65
and the other
horn which came up,
00:23:05.68\00:23:07.25
before which three fell,
00:23:07.28\00:23:08.68
namely, that horn
which had eyes and a mouth
00:23:08.72\00:23:11.49
which spoke pompous
words," that is great things,
00:23:11.52\00:23:14.29
"whose appearance was
greater than his fellows."
00:23:14.32\00:23:16.39
More domineering.
00:23:16.42\00:23:17.96
"I was watching;
and the same horn
00:23:17.99\00:23:19.49
was making war
against the saints,
00:23:19.53\00:23:21.96
and prevailing against them."
00:23:22.00\00:23:23.73
Verse number 24.
00:23:23.77\00:23:25.10
"The ten horns are ten kings
00:23:25.13\00:23:26.74
who shall arise
from this kingdom.
00:23:26.77\00:23:28.40
And another shall
rise," when? "After them."
00:23:28.44\00:23:31.94
After the ten are established.
00:23:31.97\00:23:33.98
"And he shall be
different from the first ones,
00:23:34.01\00:23:38.41
and shall subdue three kings."
00:23:38.45\00:23:40.72
Or kingdoms, kings and kingdoms
are used interchangeably
00:23:40.75\00:23:43.79
here in Daniel 7.
00:23:43.82\00:23:45.35
Verse 25 is a
powerful verse here.
00:23:45.39\00:23:48.36
I believe the most--
00:23:48.39\00:23:49.72
one of the most
powerful verses in Daniel 7.
00:23:49.76\00:23:51.99
"He shall speak pompous
words against the Most High,
00:23:52.03\00:23:55.33
shall persecute the
saints of the Most High.
00:23:55.36\00:23:57.73
And shall intend to
change times and laws.
00:23:57.77\00:24:00.57
Then the saints shall be
given into his hand for a time
00:24:00.60\00:24:03.41
and times and half a time."
00:24:03.44\00:24:05.17
All right. Let's
unpack it. Are you ready?
00:24:05.21\00:24:07.74
Say you're
ready. Now watch this.
00:24:07.78\00:24:10.15
There are ten crystal
clear, vital, pivotal clues
00:24:10.18\00:24:14.68
that leap from
the page of Daniel 7.
00:24:14.72\00:24:17.59
All right. So
let's look at this.
00:24:17.62\00:24:19.05
Number one, it arose
out of the fourth beast,
00:24:19.09\00:24:22.22
the fourth beast was Pagan Rome,
00:24:22.26\00:24:24.19
we've established that.
00:24:24.23\00:24:25.73
All right,
that's verses 7 and 8.
00:24:25.76\00:24:27.63
Number two, it arose
proximity among the ten horns,
00:24:27.66\00:24:32.43
the ten
divisions of Rome, verse 8.
00:24:32.47\00:24:34.57
All right. Number three,
After, timing is everything.
00:24:34.60\00:24:38.67
After the ten horns
00:24:38.71\00:24:40.04
sometime after the
break of the Roman Empire,
00:24:40.08\00:24:42.04
historians customarily
used the date of 476 A.D.
00:24:42.08\00:24:46.25
Although Rome fell
gradually, they say 476 A.D.
00:24:46.28\00:24:50.69
is a pivotal watershed year
00:24:50.72\00:24:52.52
marking the
collapse of the Roman Empire.
00:24:52.55\00:24:56.89
That was Daniel 7:24.
00:24:56.93\00:24:59.36
Number four,
different from the other horns.
00:24:59.39\00:25:01.96
The others were political,
00:25:02.00\00:25:03.50
this one would be
religious, and, or political.
00:25:03.53\00:25:06.17
Daniel 7:24.
00:25:06.20\00:25:07.54
Number five, a look more
stout or pompous or powerful,
00:25:07.57\00:25:10.97
prestigious than its fellows.
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.87
It would dominate
Europe. Daniel 7: 24.
00:25:12.91\00:25:15.34
Number six,
uproots three kingdoms,
00:25:15.38\00:25:17.38
historically they were
Herull, Vandals and Ostrogoths.
00:25:17.41\00:25:20.78
That's Daniel 7: 8, 20, 24.
00:25:20.82\00:25:23.52
Number seven, spoke great
words against the Most High,
00:25:23.55\00:25:26.72
against God, that's blasphemy.
00:25:26.76\00:25:28.69
Daniel 7: 25.
00:25:28.72\00:25:30.46
Number eight, wore out
the saints of the Most High,
00:25:30.49\00:25:32.89
persecuting power.
00:25:32.93\00:25:34.30
Daniel 7: 25.
00:25:34.33\00:25:35.66
Number nine, thought
to change times and laws.
00:25:35.70\00:25:38.23
What do we call the
laws of the Most High?
00:25:38.27\00:25:40.30
The Ten Commandments.
00:25:40.34\00:25:41.67
How many fingers do you
have, last time you checked?
00:25:41.70\00:25:44.27
All right, there
we go. Daniel 7: 25.
00:25:44.31\00:25:47.58
Number ten, reined for a time,
times and the dividing of time.
00:25:47.61\00:25:53.18
Now I don't expect
you to believe this
00:25:53.21\00:25:55.62
until I validate it.
00:25:55.65\00:25:56.99
But I'm gonna tell you
that equals 1260 years.
00:25:57.02\00:25:59.89
Daniel 7:25.
00:25:59.92\00:26:02.19
Did you know
00:26:02.22\00:26:04.23
that the antichrist
may seem very Christian,
00:26:04.26\00:26:08.40
antichrist?
00:26:08.43\00:26:11.73
But some of his teachings
00:26:11.77\00:26:13.27
betray the real
light of the gospel.
00:26:13.30\00:26:16.07
Remember the
antichrist in the time of Jesus?
00:26:16.10\00:26:18.51
His name was Judas
Iscariot and he was with him,
00:26:18.54\00:26:21.84
the Christian church, wasn't he?
00:26:21.88\00:26:24.81
One of the most
influential among the disciples.
00:26:24.85\00:26:27.12
He was the church treasurer.
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.08
Now if you are
a church treasurer
00:26:29.12\00:26:30.45
please don't
take that personally.
00:26:30.49\00:26:31.89
All right, here we go.
00:26:31.92\00:26:33.25
Ten clues, ten
clues. Here we go.
00:26:33.29\00:26:37.03
By the way, you know
what the FBI stands for,
00:26:37.06\00:26:38.73
don't you?
00:26:38.76\00:26:40.10
'Cause we're--
00:26:40.13\00:26:41.46
how many of you agree,
we ought to investigate?
00:26:41.50\00:26:42.83
That's what we're doing.
00:26:42.86\00:26:44.20
We got the magnifying glass
00:26:44.23\00:26:45.57
and we're going in, doing some--
00:26:45.60\00:26:47.04
how many of you agree
we're doing some detective work
00:26:47.07\00:26:48.67
here tonight, aren't we?
00:26:48.70\00:26:50.04
We are trying to track
down prophecy's most wanted,
00:26:50.07\00:26:52.67
the antichrist, right?
00:26:52.71\00:26:54.04
Well, you know
what the FBI stands for,
00:26:54.08\00:26:55.91
Faithful Believers who
Investigate what they believe.
00:26:55.94\00:26:58.08
All right, here we go.
00:26:58.11\00:26:59.45
Number one,
00:26:59.48\00:27:00.82
it arose out of the
fourth beast, pagan Rome.
00:27:00.85\00:27:04.85
"Behold the fourth beast."
00:27:04.89\00:27:06.32
Number two, we're
gonna apply this to a power.
00:27:06.35\00:27:10.73
Arises among the ten
horns, ten divisions of Rome.
00:27:10.76\00:27:13.63
"There came up among
them another little horn."
00:27:13.66\00:27:15.66
All right, quiz time.
00:27:15.70\00:27:17.37
Quiz time, are
you ready? Here we go.
00:27:17.40\00:27:19.23
Where would the
little horn power arise?
00:27:19.27\00:27:21.20
And I want you to shout
it out. Canada? Yes or no.
00:27:21.24\00:27:24.67
India? Yes or no.
Africa? Yes or no.
00:27:24.71\00:27:28.24
South America? Yes or
no. United States? Yes or no.
00:27:28.28\00:27:33.88
Europe? Yes or no.
Now how do you know that?
00:27:33.92\00:27:37.39
Because you read
it in your Bible.
00:27:37.42\00:27:39.95
I'm not a magician
pulling stuff out of my hat
00:27:39.99\00:27:42.16
like they might do in
Branson saying "Wow, he's good.
00:27:42.19\00:27:44.66
Where did that come from?"
00:27:44.69\00:27:46.86
I'm a messenger and I
must validate everything
00:27:46.90\00:27:50.37
according to the
word of God in history
00:27:50.40\00:27:52.57
and currents
events or don't believe.
00:27:52.60\00:27:54.07
Amen. And so
beloved, hear tonight.
00:27:54.10\00:27:57.77
It's the power that
rises after the ten horns,
00:27:57.81\00:28:00.61
after the break-up
of the Roman Empire,
00:28:00.64\00:28:02.34
sometime after 476
it would be emerging.
00:28:02.38\00:28:06.25
Clue number three,
another shall rise after that.
00:28:06.28\00:28:10.42
There's only one power
00:28:10.45\00:28:11.79
that meets all ten of
these prophetic clues,
00:28:11.82\00:28:15.59
these Biblical specifications.
00:28:15.62\00:28:17.83
There's only
one, there's only one
00:28:17.86\00:28:20.13
that has a hand
that fits into glove.
00:28:20.16\00:28:23.26
All the fingers of these clues
00:28:23.30\00:28:26.90
point unerringly to one power.
00:28:26.94\00:28:32.67
Different from the other horns.
00:28:32.71\00:28:35.28
It's a religious power,
not some secular dictator.
00:28:35.31\00:28:40.72
It is a religious
power that looks Christian
00:28:40.75\00:28:46.12
because the--
00:28:46.15\00:28:47.49
watch this, "He shall
be diverse from the first."
00:28:47.52\00:28:50.93
Daniel 7:24. It would
be political and religious.
00:28:50.96\00:28:55.60
Now this may be new
00:28:55.63\00:28:56.97
and I want to
share this, thank you.
00:28:57.00\00:28:59.03
I want to share this
with all sensitivity.
00:28:59.07\00:29:02.50
God loves everyone.
00:29:02.54\00:29:05.14
This is not against any people
of a particular persuasion
00:29:05.17\00:29:10.08
that love the Lord.
00:29:10.11\00:29:11.51
It is rather
talking about an institution
00:29:11.55\00:29:14.88
that has affected a
lot of wonderful people.
00:29:14.92\00:29:17.65
Is that clear?
00:29:17.69\00:29:19.02
And so I want
you to think of this.
00:29:19.05\00:29:23.49
History books, go get
out your encyclopedias.
00:29:23.53\00:29:28.06
I'll read a quote, I'll
read a quote from history.
00:29:28.10\00:29:32.53
"The transfer,"
what was going on
00:29:32.57\00:29:34.97
around the early centuries
over there, over there,
00:29:35.00\00:29:38.94
since we're talking about--
00:29:38.97\00:29:40.31
it would arise from the
break up of the Roman Empire
00:29:40.34\00:29:43.75
in the early centuries.
00:29:43.78\00:29:45.71
We are going back in time.
00:29:45.75\00:29:47.52
"The transfer of
the emperor's residence
00:29:47.55\00:29:49.62
to Constantinople was a sad
blow to the prestige of Rome."
00:29:49.65\00:29:53.92
You see Emperor Constantine,
00:29:53.96\00:29:57.63
decided to in the
early fourth century
00:29:57.66\00:30:00.76
decided to relocate
in a political maneuver,
00:30:00.80\00:30:04.47
decided to
relocate his capital city,
00:30:04.50\00:30:07.80
would you agree,
that is, can you imagine
00:30:07.84\00:30:09.24
Washington DC
deciding to go some--
00:30:09.27\00:30:11.41
you know, the capital
is gonna go somewhere,
00:30:11.44\00:30:13.88
that would make
big news, wouldn't it?
00:30:13.91\00:30:16.75
And so Constantine
relocated, packed everything up
00:30:16.78\00:30:20.72
and they relocated
the capital to Byzantium.
00:30:20.75\00:30:27.12
Being a humble man
or not, he renamed him
00:30:27.16\00:30:30.76
after himself, Constantinople.
00:30:30.79\00:30:33.29
Now you know the
rest of the story.
00:30:33.33\00:30:35.90
But the question is well,
00:30:35.93\00:30:38.00
where did all the power
go that was there in Rome?
00:30:38.03\00:30:41.67
To the Papacy.
00:30:41.70\00:30:44.84
They got all the power
and all the prestige of Rome,
00:30:44.87\00:30:48.41
they got it all and it
remains that way today.
00:30:48.44\00:30:51.68
I want you to notice here
00:30:51.71\00:30:53.05
that "The transfer of
the emperor's residence
00:30:53.08\00:30:54.68
to Constantinople was a sad
blow to the prestige of Rome."
00:30:54.72\00:30:58.29
But listen,
00:30:58.32\00:31:01.02
"and at the time one might have
predicted her speedy decline,
00:31:01.06\00:31:03.89
but the
development of the," what?
00:31:03.93\00:31:05.53
"Of the Church
00:31:06.19\00:31:07.53
and the growing
authority of the Bishop of Rome,
00:31:07.56\00:31:09.90
or the Pope gave
her a new lease on life,
00:31:09.93\00:31:11.83
and made her again the
capital," yes, "this time
00:31:11.87\00:31:15.40
the religious capital
of the civilized world."
00:31:15.44\00:31:18.54
All roads lead to Papal Rome.
00:31:18.57\00:31:24.11
Abbot's Roman History,
page 236. Now watch this.
00:31:24.15\00:31:27.98
Down went pagan
Rome up came papal Rome.
00:31:28.02\00:31:31.29
An irrefutable fact
of your history books.
00:31:31.32\00:31:36.79
Now watch this.
00:31:36.83\00:31:38.46
How many of you
ever heard of King James?
00:31:38.49\00:31:40.96
If you would ask me, "Mark,
what Bible do you recommend?"
00:31:41.00\00:31:44.07
I recommend King James. I
like to read New King James.
00:31:44.10\00:31:47.50
It's a little bit
more fluent today.
00:31:47.54\00:31:50.01
You got to be
careful about your versions,
00:31:50.04\00:31:51.57
you can read
any version you want
00:31:51.61\00:31:52.97
but I'm just telling
you the one's I recommend.
00:31:53.01\00:31:54.78
Okay, anyway, "King James,
1566 to 1625, himself believed
00:31:54.81\00:32:00.42
that following the
removal of the Roman emperors,
00:32:00.45\00:32:02.82
the reign of Antichrist began.
00:32:02.85\00:32:04.62
This was, of course, a reference
00:32:04.65\00:32:06.15
to the rise of the
Papacy which he believed
00:32:06.19\00:32:08.36
to be the Antichrist
and Mystery of Iniquity."
00:32:08.39\00:32:10.33
Babylon Mystery
Religion, page 135. Amazing.
00:32:10.36\00:32:14.16
This is not fringe theology.
This is not fringe teaching.
00:32:14.20\00:32:18.70
This is what?
00:32:18.73\00:32:20.07
All of the
Protestant reformers believe.
00:32:20.10\00:32:23.51
And all I'm doing,
00:32:23.54\00:32:25.24
not a new vindictive teaching
that Mark Fox came up with,
00:32:25.27\00:32:28.81
rather, I'm giving an echo
of the Protestant Reformation.
00:32:28.84\00:32:33.28
The root word of
Protestant is protest.
00:32:33.31\00:32:35.85
Right now,
00:32:35.88\00:32:37.95
I'm here at this
protest about the little horn.
00:32:37.99\00:32:43.76
Clue number five, a look
more stout than his fellows,
00:32:43.79\00:32:46.19
dominate Europe, Daniel 7: 20.
00:32:46.23\00:32:47.86
"Whose look was more stout
than his fellows." We continue.
00:32:47.90\00:32:51.90
Did the Papacy dominate
Europe during the Middle Ages?
00:32:51.93\00:32:54.97
It did. Consider this.
00:32:55.00\00:32:56.91
The Pope seemed to have
absolute control of the kings.
00:32:56.94\00:32:59.97
That's right.
00:33:00.01\00:33:01.34
The kings, listen
here, "the kings seemed to be
00:33:01.38\00:33:05.65
under the
bewitching spell of the Papacy.
00:33:05.68\00:33:09.18
The kings feared the
threat of being excommunicated
00:33:09.22\00:33:11.85
by the brazen popes.
00:33:11.89\00:33:15.09
In realty the kings were
mere puppets of the popes."
00:33:15.12\00:33:18.63
Friends, this is
your history books.
00:33:18.66\00:33:21.20
How many of you
watch the History Channel?
00:33:21.23\00:33:23.37
I don't know, maybe
they've had programs on this.
00:33:23.40\00:33:26.13
Do a little Google, it's there.
00:33:26.17\00:33:28.60
Myer's General
History, page 455.
00:33:28.64\00:33:31.07
And I share this
with all sensitivity.
00:33:31.11\00:33:33.68
Please don't
believe anything I say
00:33:33.71\00:33:36.18
unless you see it in the Bible,
00:33:36.21\00:33:38.01
your history
books and current events
00:33:38.05\00:33:40.32
because I
challenge your reasoning.
00:33:40.35\00:33:45.15
Oh, we can get
emotional about this
00:33:45.19\00:33:48.06
and sometimes
emotions can cloud the issue,
00:33:48.09\00:33:50.26
isn't that true?
00:33:50.29\00:33:51.63
How many of you agree with me?
00:33:51.66\00:33:52.99
We got to just be calm
00:33:53.03\00:33:54.36
and we have to
look at the evidence
00:33:54.40\00:33:55.96
because the
evidence is clinching.
00:33:56.00\00:33:58.57
And so I want you to
notice what happened.
00:33:58.60\00:34:01.67
"Almost all the
kings and princes of Europe
00:34:01.70\00:34:03.77
Swore loyalty, fealty
to him as their overlord."
00:34:03.81\00:34:07.74
Clue number six,
uproots three kingdoms,
00:34:07.78\00:34:09.38
Heruli, Vandals, Ostrogoths.
00:34:09.41\00:34:10.91
"Before whom three fell."
00:34:10.95\00:34:12.28
Did the Papacy orchestrate
00:34:12.31\00:34:14.02
the demise of these
three opposing kingdoms?
00:34:14.05\00:34:16.48
It did. When were
these three horns uprooted?
00:34:16.52\00:34:19.65
When were they uprooted?
00:34:19.69\00:34:21.02
We got to look at
history and what do we discover?
00:34:21.06\00:34:23.96
There are the ten
divisions of the Roman Empire,
00:34:23.99\00:34:26.49
there were three uprooted.
00:34:26.53\00:34:28.10
Heruli destroyed in A.D. 493,
00:34:28.13\00:34:31.47
Vandals, from
which we get vandalism,
00:34:31.50\00:34:33.47
they were known for
that, destroyed in A.D. 534.
00:34:33.50\00:34:37.21
Then the Ostrogoths
destroyed in A.D. 538.
00:34:37.24\00:34:42.54
So therefore, all of
these three opposing kingdoms
00:34:42.58\00:34:46.31
were uprooted by the
pivotal year of 538 A.D.
00:34:46.35\00:34:50.29
Now keep that in mind.
00:34:50.32\00:34:51.65
Clue number
seven, spoke great words
00:34:51.69\00:34:53.49
against the
Most High. Blasphemy.
00:34:53.52\00:34:55.76
So the Bible
makes it very clear.
00:34:55.79\00:34:57.89
"Behold, in this horn were
eyes like the eyes of man."
00:34:57.93\00:35:00.36
Can you imagine that?
00:35:00.40\00:35:02.43
A horn, can you
imagine going to a zoo,
00:35:02.46\00:35:04.33
where is your nearest zoo?
00:35:04.37\00:35:05.70
Yeah, they have
it in Branson there?
00:35:05.73\00:35:08.07
Can you imagine
going to the zoo?
00:35:08.10\00:35:09.84
We have the big Dallas
Zoo and the Fort Worth Zoo.
00:35:09.87\00:35:12.64
I've been there and I haven't,
00:35:12.67\00:35:14.01
I've seen a lot of funny animals
00:35:14.04\00:35:17.18
but I have not seen
an animal with a horn
00:35:17.21\00:35:19.35
on the top of it that talks.
00:35:19.38\00:35:21.32
Let me know if you see one.
00:35:21.35\00:35:24.39
Based on man's wisdom
00:35:24.42\00:35:27.12
and interpretation of scripture.
00:35:27.16\00:35:29.02
That's what it means.
00:35:29.06\00:35:30.63
That's what it means, blasphemy.
00:35:30.66\00:35:32.63
What is the Bible's
definition of blasphemy?
00:35:32.66\00:35:35.63
The Bible defines
blasphemy as assuming any rights
00:35:35.66\00:35:38.13
or power or titles, prerogatives
00:35:38.17\00:35:40.84
that belong
solely exclusive to God.
00:35:40.87\00:35:44.44
Remember, the Bible says, "I
am God and there is no other."
00:35:44.47\00:35:46.61
Amen.
00:35:46.64\00:35:47.98
And so, why was Jesus
falsely accused of blasphemy?
00:35:48.01\00:35:51.78
Because He
claimed to forgive sin
00:35:51.81\00:35:53.25
and He claimed to
be equal with God.
00:35:53.28\00:35:55.35
He was, is God in the
flesh. Can you say amen?
00:35:55.38\00:35:59.92
He is fully divine and
He was fully human. Amen.
00:35:59.95\00:36:03.29
And when we see Him, He's gonna
still look like He did. Amen.
00:36:03.32\00:36:08.66
Oh, but now with full
divinity flashing through
00:36:08.70\00:36:11.63
in all of His glory.
00:36:11.67\00:36:13.00
Can you say amen?
00:36:13.03\00:36:14.37
But He's still
gonna have the scars.
00:36:14.40\00:36:15.74
Amen. It's still Jesus. Amen.
00:36:15.77\00:36:17.37
And so I want you to
notice here, beloved. Luke 5:21.
00:36:17.41\00:36:21.54
"Who is this which
speaketh blasphemies?
00:36:21.58\00:36:23.35
Who can forgive
sins but God alone?"
00:36:23.38\00:36:25.25
"But that you may
know that the Son of Man
00:36:25.28\00:36:26.75
has authority,"
that's the issue,
00:36:26.78\00:36:28.48
"authority on
earth to forgive sins.
00:36:28.52\00:36:30.82
He said to the paralyzed man,
00:36:30.85\00:36:32.39
"I tell you, get up,
take your mat, and go home."
00:36:32.42\00:36:34.66
Luke 5: 24.
00:36:34.69\00:36:36.62
Now what is a classic
example of how ready Jesus is
00:36:36.66\00:36:40.23
to forgive our sins
and to set us forever free?
00:36:40.26\00:36:45.07
Was condemned to die,
to be stoned for adultery.
00:36:45.10\00:36:49.14
And He said, I
don't condemn you,
00:36:49.17\00:36:51.14
forgive you, go and
leave your life of sin.
00:36:51.17\00:36:54.31
Amen. That's John Chapter 8.
00:36:54.34\00:36:56.01
In other words,
Jesus was saying,
00:36:56.04\00:36:57.61
I've got authority to tell
you there's no condemnation.
00:36:57.65\00:37:02.55
Paul said, "There
is no condemnation
00:37:02.58\00:37:04.55
to those who are in Christ Jesus
00:37:04.59\00:37:05.95
who walk not after the
flesh but after the Spirit."
00:37:05.99\00:37:08.52
Romans 8: 1.
00:37:08.56\00:37:09.89
How many of you agree
you do not have to walk
00:37:09.92\00:37:11.49
in your life under a
cloud of condemnation,
00:37:11.53\00:37:14.43
I don't care,
maybe there's something,
00:37:14.46\00:37:15.80
you know what the devil does?
00:37:15.83\00:37:17.17
He tries to keep
reminding you of your past.
00:37:17.20\00:37:19.57
You know, some dark
thing in your closet
00:37:19.60\00:37:21.97
or what you did in
the past and the devil
00:37:22.00\00:37:24.14
keep trying to bring that
up so that you get discouraged.
00:37:24.17\00:37:29.74
But remember Jesus Christ,
00:37:29.78\00:37:31.48
"Him that cometh to me,
I will no wise cast out."
00:37:31.51\00:37:34.72
My wife's
favorite verse, John 6: 37.
00:37:34.75\00:37:37.52
Christ says, "you
come to me as you are
00:37:37.55\00:37:41.32
and I will forgive you."
00:37:41.36\00:37:43.32
The Bible says in
Nehemiah Chapter 9
00:37:43.36\00:37:45.99
that He is "ready to pardon."
00:37:46.03\00:37:48.43
Psalms 86 says, "He
is ready to forgive."
00:37:48.46\00:37:52.63
How many agree, you
don't have to talk Him into it.
00:37:52.67\00:37:55.20
You just have to confess
and ask Him for forgiveness.
00:37:55.24\00:37:58.21
Amen.
00:37:58.24\00:37:59.57
And so listen, listen
very, very, very clearly.
00:37:59.61\00:38:02.41
When the devil
reminds you of your past,
00:38:02.44\00:38:06.68
remind him of his future.
00:38:06.72\00:38:09.62
Amen.
00:38:09.65\00:38:13.19
"'We are not stoning
you for any of these,'
00:38:13.22\00:38:15.02
replied the Jews,
'but for blasphemy,
00:38:15.06\00:38:16.83
because you, a mere
man, claim to be God.'"
00:38:16.86\00:38:19.39
But He was "God in
the flesh." John 10:33.
00:38:19.43\00:38:22.86
But does the
Papacy claim the titles
00:38:22.90\00:38:25.07
and prerogatives
which belong to God alone?
00:38:25.10\00:38:28.00
Does the Papacy make
the presumptuous claim
00:38:28.04\00:38:30.14
to forgive sins?
00:38:30.17\00:38:32.21
The Catholic
Priest, pages 78, 79.
00:38:32.24\00:38:34.54
I repeat, God
loves Roman Catholics,
00:38:34.58\00:38:37.38
He loves people of Pentecostals,
00:38:37.41\00:38:39.58
Assembly of Gods,
Seventh-day Adventists.
00:38:39.61\00:38:41.85
He loves people of
all different faiths
00:38:41.88\00:38:44.35
or no faith.
00:38:44.39\00:38:45.72
But I'm here to tell you
00:38:45.75\00:38:47.96
this is not about
judging precious people
00:38:47.99\00:38:52.76
that are children of God
00:38:52.79\00:38:54.13
but rather an
institution being exposed
00:38:54.16\00:38:56.73
so that precious people
can get a heads up of truth.
00:38:56.77\00:39:00.24
Can you say amen?
00:39:00.27\00:39:01.60
How many of you agree truth
is to set the captives free.
00:39:01.64\00:39:03.94
Amen.
00:39:03.97\00:39:05.31
And so "Seek where you
will, through heaven and earth,
00:39:05.34\00:39:07.78
and you will find
but one created being
00:39:07.81\00:39:09.64
who can forgive the sinner,
00:39:09.68\00:39:11.01
that extraordinary
being is the priest,
00:39:11.05\00:39:12.38
the Roman Catholic priest."
00:39:12.41\00:39:14.08
Confess to a priest?
00:39:14.12\00:39:16.82
"There is one
God and one mediator
00:39:16.85\00:39:18.72
between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus,
00:39:18.75\00:39:21.02
who gave himself
a ransom for all."
00:39:21.06\00:39:23.32
There is one
mediator, all you need is Jesus.
00:39:23.36\00:39:26.96
That's the true
gospel, false gospel,
00:39:27.00\00:39:29.43
you need Jesus
and a Pope and Mary
00:39:29.46\00:39:32.57
and the saints and
penance and purgatory.
00:39:32.60\00:39:35.67
I'm here to tell you,
all you need is Jesus.
00:39:35.70\00:39:39.81
Jesus and salvation is for kids.
00:39:39.84\00:39:42.98
Make it simple. Keep it simple.
00:39:43.01\00:39:45.08
1 Timothy 2: 5 and 6.
00:39:45.11\00:39:46.85
And yet in the catechism,
it's a voluminous catechism.
00:39:46.88\00:39:50.82
We read, "One who
desires to obtain reconciliation
00:39:50.85\00:39:53.69
with God and with the
Church, must confess to a priest
00:39:53.72\00:39:56.29
all the unconfessed
grave sins he remembers
00:39:56.32\00:39:58.33
after having carefully
examined his conscience."
00:39:58.36\00:40:01.40
And so pages 374.
00:40:01.43\00:40:03.43
Page 365, "According
to the Church's command,
00:40:03.47\00:40:06.03
'after having
attained the age of discretion,
00:40:06.07\00:40:08.90
each of the faithful is bound
by an obligation faithfully
00:40:08.94\00:40:12.14
to confess serious
sins at least once a year.'
00:40:12.17\00:40:14.44
" I don't know where
they come up with that
00:40:14.48\00:40:15.81
but they're, that's
what they are saying.
00:40:15.84\00:40:17.18
1 John 1: 9.
00:40:17.21\00:40:18.55
Read it together with me
and let's preach this together.
00:40:18.58\00:40:21.38
"If we confess our
sins, He is faithful
00:40:21.42\00:40:24.02
and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us
00:40:24.05\00:40:26.55
from all unrighteousness."
00:40:26.59\00:40:28.46
I believe that. How about you?
00:40:28.49\00:40:30.46
And so 1 John 1:7.
Let's read this together.
00:40:30.49\00:40:33.66
"But if we walk in the
light as He is in the light,
00:40:33.70\00:40:36.97
we have
fellowship with one another,
00:40:37.00\00:40:38.93
and the blood of
Jesus Christ His Son
00:40:38.97\00:40:41.44
cleanses us from all sin."
00:40:41.47\00:40:44.34
Clean.
00:40:44.37\00:40:45.71
I tell my
children, I tell my children,
00:40:45.74\00:40:48.58
when you make a mistake
you ask Jesus to forgive you
00:40:48.61\00:40:51.88
and He gives you a clean slate.
00:40:51.91\00:40:53.98
And my son in particular,
my ten year old son, Caleb,
00:40:54.02\00:40:57.62
he likes that idea
00:40:57.65\00:40:59.72
because he's like, that he
makes mistakes occasionally
00:40:59.75\00:41:02.26
and he's like he loves
the idea of a clean slate.
00:41:02.29\00:41:04.79
How many still like
the idea of a clean slate?
00:41:04.83\00:41:08.66
If you are going through a
personal crisis in your life,
00:41:09.93\00:41:12.83
if you are facing
financial challenges,
00:41:12.87\00:41:15.30
if you are
suffering from health problem,
00:41:15.34\00:41:17.41
if your marriage
is needing a miracle,
00:41:17.44\00:41:19.84
if you have a special
concern for your children,
00:41:19.87\00:41:22.21
whatever you need
maybe give us a call
00:41:22.24\00:41:24.48
and we will pray with you.
00:41:24.51\00:41:25.85

"If the Son sets you
free, you are free indeed,"
00:41:31.39\00:41:34.82
John 8:36.
00:41:34.86\00:41:37.56
Aren't you glad, "His
mercies are new every morning?"
00:41:37.59\00:41:40.10
"Great is Thy faithfulness."
Lamentations 3: 22 and 25.
00:41:40.13\00:41:44.87
Every morning is a new start.
00:41:44.90\00:41:47.54
How many of you
agree you do not have to
00:41:47.57\00:41:49.04
drag around the
ball and chain of guilt?
00:41:49.07\00:41:52.17
Let it go at the
foot of the cross.
00:41:52.21\00:41:53.68
Can you say amen?
00:41:53.71\00:41:55.08
And so beloved,
Jesus blood alone
00:41:55.11\00:41:58.08
is sufficient to save you and I.
00:41:58.11\00:42:00.18
You can believe in the blood.
00:42:00.22\00:42:02.85
You say, "But
Mark, I'm unworthy."
00:42:02.88\00:42:04.52
Then you need the blood.
00:42:04.55\00:42:05.89
"I failed." you need the blood.
00:42:05.92\00:42:07.76
"Ah, you don't
know where I've been."
00:42:07.79\00:42:09.12
You need the blood.
00:42:09.16\00:42:10.79
"I'm weak." You need the blood.
00:42:10.83\00:42:12.56
"Unworthy." You need the blood.
00:42:12.59\00:42:16.20
The word antichrist,
00:42:16.23\00:42:17.63
the word anti can
have several meanings.
00:42:17.67\00:42:19.63
Did you know that?
00:42:19.67\00:42:21.60
The word antichrist, it
can mean "Against Christ"
00:42:21.64\00:42:25.01
and it can mean also
"In place of Christ."
00:42:25.04\00:42:28.61
And the pontiff claims to
be in the place of Christ,
00:42:28.64\00:42:31.91
"Vicar of the Son of God."
00:42:31.95\00:42:34.45
And so "Thou art
a priest forever,
00:42:34.48\00:42:36.58
says the ordaining Bishop.
00:42:36.62\00:42:38.25
He is not longer a
man, a sinful child of Adam,
00:42:38.29\00:42:41.26
but an 'Alter
Christus'" What does that mean?
00:42:41.29\00:42:45.96
"Another Christ.
00:42:45.99\00:42:49.33
Forever a priest
of the Most High,
00:42:49.36\00:42:50.73
with power over the Almighty."
00:42:50.77\00:42:52.10
I don't even like reading it.
00:42:52.13\00:42:53.64
But there it is,
Eucharistic Meditations.
00:42:53.67\00:42:57.57
Ferraris Ecclesiastical
dictionary, Inflated claims.
00:42:57.61\00:43:01.24
"The Pope is of
so great dignity,
00:43:01.28\00:43:02.98
and so exalted that
he is not a mere man,
00:43:03.01\00:43:05.15
but as it were God,
and the vicar of God."
00:43:05.18\00:43:09.08
This is
blasphemy. What did Paul say?
00:43:09.12\00:43:11.72
Paul forecast
what was gonna happen
00:43:11.75\00:43:13.79
in the temple, in the church.
00:43:13.82\00:43:16.29
"Who opposeth
and exalteth himself
00:43:16.32\00:43:18.29
above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped,
00:43:18.33\00:43:20.43
so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God,
00:43:20.46\00:43:23.37
shewing himself that he is God."
00:43:23.40\00:43:24.73
Is he God? No. But is
he acting like he is God?
00:43:24.77\00:43:27.80
Now keep in mind I
cannot judge the personal Pope
00:43:27.84\00:43:34.04
in terms of his person.
00:43:34.08\00:43:35.78
You know, I
don't know everything
00:43:39.15\00:43:40.72
that goes on in his mind.
00:43:40.75\00:43:42.08
The Bible says "Judge not that
ye be not judged." Matthew 7:1.
00:43:42.12\00:43:45.45
But shouldn't I
judge what he is teaching
00:43:45.49\00:43:48.56
and his position and
what his beliefs are?
00:43:48.59\00:43:51.13
Shouldn't you judge
everything that is being taught?
00:43:51.16\00:43:54.36
Yes or no. Absolutely.
00:43:54.40\00:43:57.23
And that's 2
Thessalonians 2:2 and 3.
00:43:57.27\00:44:00.34
Alphonsus
Liguori says in Dignity
00:44:00.37\00:44:02.57
and Duties of the
priests, "To pardon a single sin
00:44:02.60\00:44:05.87
requires all the
omnipotence of God.
00:44:05.91\00:44:08.04
But what only God can
do by his omnipotence,
00:44:08.08\00:44:10.45
the priest can also do."
00:44:10.48\00:44:12.31
No wonder Pope Leo XII
said, "We hold upon this earth
00:44:12.35\00:44:17.42
the place of God Almighty."
00:44:17.45\00:44:20.69
Pope Leo. Wow. Amazing, amazing.
00:44:20.72\00:44:25.23
In the catechism,
about Mary, it says,
00:44:25.26\00:44:27.50
"Taken up to heaven
she, Mary, did not lay aside
00:44:27.53\00:44:30.07
this saving office but
by her manifold intercession
00:44:30.10\00:44:33.17
continues to bring us the
gifts of eternal salvation."
00:44:33.20\00:44:36.20
Wow.
00:44:36.24\00:44:37.57
Here's another
quote from catechism
00:44:37.61\00:44:38.94
"Therefore the Blessed
Virgin is invoked in the Church
00:44:38.97\00:44:41.51
under the titles of
Advocate, Helper, Benefactress,
00:44:41.54\00:44:44.31
and Mediatrix."
00:44:44.35\00:44:47.22
Now I've got a question.
00:44:47.25\00:44:48.82
Didn't we just read
there's only one mediator
00:44:48.85\00:44:50.89
between God and man?
00:44:50.92\00:44:52.25
And the man is Jesus Christ.
00:44:52.29\00:44:55.29
John Paul II
devoted his pontificate,
00:44:55.32\00:44:57.99
not to God, not to
Jesus, not to the Holy Spirit
00:44:58.03\00:45:01.26
but to Mother Mary.
00:45:01.30\00:45:02.96
There you see it on his regalia.
00:45:03.00\00:45:05.93
Pope John Paul II,
00:45:05.97\00:45:08.20
same year that I went
to the Vatican on a tour,
00:45:08.24\00:45:12.74
1981, it didn't
happen while I was there
00:45:12.77\00:45:16.31
but it did happen in
1981, there was an attempt--
00:45:16.34\00:45:20.95
assassination attempt.
00:45:20.98\00:45:22.32
How many of you remember that?
00:45:22.35\00:45:24.05
And the location of
the shooting is marked here
00:45:24.09\00:45:28.39
by the tablet in
St. Peter's Square.
00:45:28.42\00:45:31.43
Here is a close up
of it, a picture of it.
00:45:31.46\00:45:34.93
Do you see this?
00:45:34.96\00:45:36.30
The site at the
shooting is marked
00:45:36.33\00:45:37.77
by a small marble tablet
00:45:37.80\00:45:39.17
bearing John
Paul's papal coat of arms
00:45:39.20\00:45:41.77
and date in Roman numerals.
00:45:41.80\00:45:43.81
Notice the M for
Mary. Wow, amazing.
00:45:43.84\00:45:48.44
Shouldn't that
tell you something
00:45:48.48\00:45:49.91
that something is wrong?
00:45:49.94\00:45:51.65
When you
dedicate your religious,
00:45:51.68\00:45:53.62
he is the most
influential religious spokesman
00:45:53.65\00:45:56.52
in the world and he dedicated
his religious pontificate,
00:45:56.55\00:46:00.72
not to God, not to
Jesus, not the Holy Spirit,
00:46:00.76\00:46:02.99
but to Mary.
00:46:03.02\00:46:04.93
Shouldn't that concern you?
00:46:04.96\00:46:06.36
No wonder, people
have taken pictures
00:46:06.39\00:46:09.46
of the Pope actually
bowing before shrines of Mary.
00:46:09.50\00:46:14.80
So beloved, listen to this.
00:46:14.84\00:46:17.01
What does the Roman Papal
power enforce upon its bishops
00:46:17.04\00:46:19.87
and is it Biblical?
00:46:19.91\00:46:21.24
Celibacy is a sign of
this new life to service
00:46:21.28\00:46:23.45
of which the Church's
minister is consecrated.
00:46:23.48\00:46:25.85
But what does the Bible say?
00:46:25.88\00:46:27.22
"A bishop then
must be blameless,
00:46:27.25\00:46:28.65
the husband of one wife."
00:46:28.68\00:46:30.09
It's okay for the
priest to get married.
00:46:30.12\00:46:32.22
Tell them that, liberate
them. All right, anyway.
00:46:32.25\00:46:35.79
What does the Roman
Papal power teach and practice
00:46:35.82\00:46:38.29
about Baptism?
00:46:38.33\00:46:40.13
Does it teach a
sprinkling or pouring water
00:46:40.16\00:46:42.43
over a baby in the Bible?
00:46:42.46\00:46:43.80
It's not there. It's not
there, beloved, it's nowhere.
00:46:43.83\00:46:47.04
And if it's not in the
Bible, we don't want it.
00:46:47.07\00:46:49.67
Isn't that true?
00:46:49.70\00:46:51.04
So "full well ye
reject the commandment of God,
00:46:51.07\00:46:53.14
that ye may keep
your own tradition."
00:46:53.17\00:46:55.58
Mark 7: 9.
00:46:55.61\00:46:56.95
"Blind guides
leading the blind."
00:46:56.98\00:46:58.65
Matthew 15:14.
00:46:58.68\00:47:00.98
Now how could so many
false teachings be accepted
00:47:01.02\00:47:03.59
by millions of
Christians during the Dark Ages?
00:47:03.62\00:47:06.29
During the
centuries of the Dark Ages
00:47:06.32\00:47:07.96
the average person
didn't have a Bible.
00:47:07.99\00:47:11.39
All right, I got
a little quiz here.
00:47:11.43\00:47:12.76
How many have one
Bible? How many have two?
00:47:12.79\00:47:16.60
How many have
three? How many have four?
00:47:16.63\00:47:20.34
How many have
five? How many have six?
00:47:20.37\00:47:25.04
How many have seven?
00:47:25.07\00:47:28.44
I don't even know how
many I have, or eight.
00:47:28.48\00:47:30.68
All right, we are
stopping right there.
00:47:30.71\00:47:32.88
They didn't have one.
00:47:32.91\00:47:34.58
Most of these pour peasants
didn't even own the scriptures
00:47:34.62\00:47:39.69
like we have today.
00:47:39.72\00:47:41.62
And so would you agree they
got away with a lot in the dark?
00:47:41.66\00:47:45.03
And so listen.
00:47:45.06\00:47:46.80
There was "a famine of hearing
00:47:46.83\00:47:48.16
the words of the
Lord" at this time.
00:47:48.20\00:47:49.53
Amos 8:11.
00:47:49.56\00:47:50.90
"Truth was thrown to
the ground." Daniel 8: 12.
00:47:50.93\00:47:53.94
"My people are destroyed
from the lack of knowledge."
00:47:53.97\00:47:57.21
Hosea 4: 6.
00:47:57.24\00:47:59.01
Number eight,
00:47:59.04\00:48:00.38
"it would wear out the
saints of the Most High."
00:48:00.41\00:48:02.34
Daniel 7:25.
00:48:02.38\00:48:03.88
Fifty million
people lost their lives
00:48:03.91\00:48:06.61
during the Dark Ages.
00:48:06.65\00:48:07.98
Can you imagine?
00:48:08.02\00:48:09.58
In the Holocaust,
there were six million
00:48:09.62\00:48:12.35
Jews that lost their life.
00:48:12.39\00:48:13.72
Beloved, this is the
overlooked holocaust.
00:48:13.76\00:48:18.09
How many agree
we must not forget
00:48:18.13\00:48:19.79
about the Jewish
holocaust and we must not forget
00:48:19.83\00:48:22.56
the holocaust of the Dark
Ages, would you agree with me?
00:48:22.60\00:48:27.34
There were so
many unfair trials.
00:48:27.37\00:48:30.97
Persecution of the heretics,
torn from limb to limb.
00:48:31.01\00:48:35.51
I think about John Hus,
00:48:35.54\00:48:38.98
a lecturer at the
University of Prague
00:48:39.01\00:48:43.65
and he was being
tried for his faith,
00:48:43.69\00:48:45.95
he was being told to recant
00:48:45.99\00:48:47.56
because he wanted to
have reform in the church
00:48:47.59\00:48:50.59
and he protested some
things that were going on.
00:48:50.63\00:48:54.06
And they told him,
"Recant or you will die".
00:48:54.10\00:48:57.37
And he wouldn't change his mind.
00:48:57.40\00:48:58.73
He said, "Show
me where I'm wrong.
00:48:58.77\00:49:00.74
Show me where I'm wrong."
00:49:00.77\00:49:02.57
And they would burn him
at the stake because he said,
00:49:02.60\00:49:05.24
"the Bible is the
only rule of faith.
00:49:05.27\00:49:08.34
"I would not, for a
chapel full of gold,
00:49:08.38\00:49:10.51
recede from the truth."
00:49:10.55\00:49:11.88
John Hus, rector of
Prague's Bethlehem Chapel.
00:49:11.91\00:49:14.85
So John Hus in 1415
was burned to the stake.
00:49:14.88\00:49:19.15
"God is my witness
00:49:19.19\00:49:21.29
that the evidence
against me is false.
00:49:21.32\00:49:24.39
I have never
thought nor preached
00:49:24.43\00:49:25.76
except with the one
intention of winning men,
00:49:25.79\00:49:27.73
if possible, from their sins."
00:49:27.76\00:49:29.46
"Today I will
gladly die" July 6, 1415.
00:49:29.50\00:49:34.57
Talk about heroic faith.
00:49:34.60\00:49:36.74
Oh, read the book, Foxe's Book
of Martyrs or many other books
00:49:36.77\00:49:40.98
and so forth. Number nine,
00:49:41.11\00:49:42.44
"Thought to
change times and laws,"
00:49:42.48\00:49:43.81
change in the ten commandments,
00:49:43.85\00:49:45.18
"think to change time and laws."
00:49:45.21\00:49:46.82
Could you-- would you agree?
00:49:46.85\00:49:48.25
If this power, the Pope says
00:49:48.28\00:49:50.39
they can change
the very law of God,
00:49:50.42\00:49:52.12
that's acting like
God, who wrote the law.
00:49:52.15\00:49:54.06
In Austin, capital of Texas,
00:49:57.63\00:50:03.30
you have a monument
of the Ten Commandments,
00:50:03.33\00:50:06.57
and this is the correct
version that is in the Bible,
00:50:06.60\00:50:09.57
Exodus 20.
00:50:09.60\00:50:11.54
But the incorrect version
is in the Roman catechism.
00:50:11.57\00:50:18.01
And has God changed
His Ten Commandments?
00:50:18.05\00:50:21.05
He has not.
00:50:21.08\00:50:23.49
The reason why you have
a change in the catechism
00:50:23.52\00:50:26.52
is to allow images
to come into the church
00:50:26.55\00:50:29.39
without making people feel
00:50:29.42\00:50:31.29
like they're
violating a commandment.
00:50:31.33\00:50:34.00
And so, what do they do?
00:50:34.03\00:50:35.86
This is the Roman papal version.
00:50:35.90\00:50:39.37
You'll notice that they
have deleted the commandment
00:50:39.40\00:50:41.60
that says "Don't make
images and bow down to them."
00:50:41.64\00:50:44.71
And so they have
deleted that one.
00:50:44.74\00:50:47.84
Well, that doesn't look
good. Ten minus one equals nine.
00:50:47.88\00:50:51.05
That doesn't look
good. So what do they do?
00:50:51.08\00:50:53.38
They took the tenth commandment
00:50:53.42\00:50:54.75
and said, well,
that's rather lengthy.
00:50:54.78\00:50:56.45
Uh, about "Thou shalt not covet"
00:50:56.48\00:50:57.85
and goes into detail,
let's just split that in two.
00:50:57.89\00:51:00.49
So they deleted
the second commandant
00:51:00.52\00:51:03.06
and split into two
the tenth commandment
00:51:03.09\00:51:06.49
and there you have the changes.
00:51:06.53\00:51:10.27
Now, isn't that amazing?
00:51:10.30\00:51:13.20
And most people, either
they are not aware of it
00:51:13.23\00:51:18.17
or they don't think it matters.
00:51:18.21\00:51:19.54
"For laying aside
the commandment of God,
00:51:22.74\00:51:26.05
ye hold to the
tradition of men."
00:51:26.08\00:51:29.35
Eyes like the eyes of a man,
00:51:29.38\00:51:31.75
Mouth of a man
speaking great things."
00:51:31.79\00:51:34.66
Mark 7:8.
00:51:34.69\00:51:36.22
Number 10, "Reigned for a time,
times and dividing of time"
00:51:36.26\00:51:40.16
What is that all about?
00:51:40.20\00:51:41.53
Time, that's one
year of 360 days.
00:51:41.56\00:51:43.87
Two years, 720
days, that's times.
00:51:43.90\00:51:47.27
Half a time, half
a year of 180 days.
00:51:47.30\00:51:49.80
1260 days.
00:51:49.84\00:51:51.37
One day equals a Biblical year.
00:51:51.41\00:51:53.11
"I have appointed
thee each day for a year."
00:51:53.14\00:51:54.74
Ezekiel 4:6.
00:51:54.78\00:51:56.31
So therefore, we are talking
about a whopping 1260 years.
00:51:56.34\00:52:01.08
When does this
time prophecy begin?
00:52:01.12\00:52:03.69
When Emperor
00:52:03.72\00:52:05.35
Roman Justinian
issued a legal decree.
00:52:05.39\00:52:08.26
You see, it must begin with
an event or series of events
00:52:08.29\00:52:11.53
which gave incredible
power to this Roman system.
00:52:11.56\00:52:15.90
Listen, "Vigilius...ascended
the papal chair,"
00:52:15.93\00:52:20.37
Pope Vigilius,
00:52:20.40\00:52:21.90
"538 AD under the military
protection of Belisarius."
00:52:21.94\00:52:26.07
All right?
00:52:26.11\00:52:27.44
So therefore, in 538 AD,
there was a Roman legal decree.
00:52:27.48\00:52:31.45
The Bishop would now
be head of all churches.
00:52:31.48\00:52:34.48
Bishop, definer
of all the doctrines.
00:52:34.52\00:52:36.62
The Bishop or Pope,
corrector of all heretics,
00:52:36.65\00:52:39.45
ushering in the Dark Ages.
00:52:39.49\00:52:41.59
You know what
corrector means? Persecutor.
00:52:41.62\00:52:44.39
So, three horns were
uprooted by this year.
00:52:44.43\00:52:48.46
538 AD.
00:52:48.50\00:52:49.83
Well, let's plug it in
and we are dealing here
00:52:49.86\00:52:52.17
with the time prophecy,
let's plug in a 1260 years.
00:52:52.20\00:52:56.50
The Bible makes it very clear
00:52:56.54\00:52:57.87
that it would have
this temple sovereignty,
00:52:57.91\00:52:59.71
this reign of
terror for 1260 years.
00:52:59.74\00:53:03.78
From 538 AD when it got power.
00:53:03.81\00:53:07.38
Go 1260 years down the timeline,
00:53:07.42\00:53:10.02
down the quarters of time,
passing, spanning the centuries
00:53:10.05\00:53:13.29
and it culminates in the year
1798, that's when it runs out.
00:53:13.32\00:53:17.69
That's when it
lost power, temporarily.
00:53:17.73\00:53:20.76
So it got power 538
AD and lost power 1798.
00:53:20.80\00:53:25.13
You see in the
encyclopedia Americana.
00:53:25.17\00:53:28.54
"In 1798, he, General Berthier,
00:53:28.57\00:53:30.67
made his entrance into Rome,
abolished the Papal government
00:53:30.71\00:53:33.81
and established
the secular one."
00:53:33.84\00:53:35.48
Here's the picture of
Pope Pius VI and Berthier,
00:53:35.51\00:53:41.22
just passed by
Napoleon to capture the Pope,
00:53:41.25\00:53:44.62
they went down to the Vatican
and captured Pope Pius VI,
00:53:44.65\00:53:48.79
pulled him away from
the mass, the altar of mass
00:53:48.82\00:53:54.53
pulled off his pontifical
ring and you know what happened?
00:53:54.56\00:53:57.73
See the deadly
wound was inflicted
00:53:57.77\00:53:59.57
as the Bible said
in Revelation, in 1798,
00:53:59.60\00:54:02.87
exactly 1260 years from 538 AD.
00:54:02.90\00:54:06.84
Pope Pius VI died in
exile a year and a half later
00:54:06.88\00:54:09.78
in Valence, France.
00:54:09.81\00:54:11.15
And now you know
the rest of the story.
00:54:11.18\00:54:13.48
But it would have a
comeback, wouldn't it?
00:54:13.52\00:54:15.52
Now how can we
know for sure, beloved,
00:54:15.55\00:54:17.49
that the antichrist is
not future but is present?
00:54:17.52\00:54:21.19
The Papacy has its
roots in the distant past,
00:54:21.22\00:54:24.09
it reigned for 1260
years, and it keeps on going.
00:54:24.13\00:54:29.60
Is this a new theory?
00:54:29.63\00:54:31.73
"Martin Luther was
the first to identify
00:54:31.77\00:54:33.50
that the papacy as
such with the Antichrist."
00:54:33.54\00:54:35.44
"A view that was dogma
for all Protestant churches."
00:54:35.47\00:54:38.87
Newsweek
magazine, November 1, 1999.
00:54:38.91\00:54:42.51
I feel much freer now
00:54:42.54\00:54:43.88
that I am certain the
pope is the Antichrist.
00:54:43.91\00:54:45.31
Martin Luther.
00:54:45.35\00:54:46.68
Here I can stand,
you know, they told him,
00:54:46.72\00:54:48.58
"Martin Luther, give it
up, give it up, give it up."
00:54:48.62\00:54:50.82
He said, "The just shall
live by faith and faith alone."
00:54:50.85\00:54:55.79
They said "You
better change your mind."
00:54:55.82\00:54:57.76
"Here I stand, I
can do none other.
00:54:57.79\00:55:00.16
May God help me."
00:55:00.20\00:55:01.53
And God did help him.
00:55:01.56\00:55:03.23
So why do we not hear this more?
00:55:03.26\00:55:05.93
Now let's bring it right
down here today as we close.
00:55:05.97\00:55:11.01
Why do we not
hear this more now?
00:55:11.04\00:55:13.78
Because the
Vatican is so powerful.
00:55:13.81\00:55:17.18
Every night on the news,
if you are looking for it,
00:55:20.55\00:55:24.55
you can find it, go online,
00:55:24.59\00:55:25.92
there's something
going on with the Vatican.
00:55:25.95\00:55:29.52
Time magazine,
John Paul, superstar.
00:55:29.56\00:55:34.96
Time magazine
talking about this Pope.
00:55:35.00\00:55:37.57
Why the Pope loves America.
00:55:37.60\00:55:40.07
You can miss some of
my upcoming presentations
00:55:40.10\00:55:42.40
when I show you
what's gonna happen
00:55:42.44\00:55:45.14
between the Vatican and America.
00:55:45.17\00:55:48.24
A sudden change is
just around the corner.
00:55:48.28\00:55:53.25
I said a sudden,
stupendous change.
00:55:53.28\00:55:57.52
Is this a
fulfillment of Bible prophecy?
00:55:57.55\00:56:00.76
It is.
00:56:00.79\00:56:02.39
Here is a world map indicating
where John Paul II visited.
00:56:02.42\00:56:06.39
Here's the political
leaders from around the world
00:56:06.43\00:56:08.46
giving homage and
recognition to the Pope.
00:56:08.50\00:56:11.93
And here's the who's who
00:56:11.97\00:56:13.30
of the political
leaders right there.
00:56:13.34\00:56:15.67
Millions around the world
viewed the funeral and then,
00:56:15.70\00:56:20.44
his successor
received an unprecedented
00:56:20.48\00:56:27.08
glorious
grandeurs impressive welcome
00:56:27.12\00:56:33.39
from the President
of the United States.
00:56:33.42\00:56:35.39
The most
influential political figure
00:56:35.42\00:56:38.29
and the most
influential religious figure,
00:56:38.33\00:56:40.63
are they ever gonna
work together in the future?
00:56:40.66\00:56:43.67
Not necessarily that
particular president.
00:56:43.70\00:56:46.77
Deadly wound is healed,
and all the world marveled
00:56:46.80\00:56:49.77
and followed the beast
00:56:49.80\00:56:51.17
who is the also
bizarre talking horn.
00:56:51.21\00:56:54.01
We are not talking
about the loving Christians
00:56:54.04\00:56:56.38
but the institution
00:56:56.41\00:56:57.91
that is misleading
so many sincere people.
00:56:57.95\00:56:59.85
The Little Horn is
not a person but a power,
00:56:59.88\00:57:01.95
not an individual,
but an institution,
00:57:01.98\00:57:03.59
not a specific
personality, but a system.
00:57:03.62\00:57:06.35
Besides, nobody
has lived 1260 years,
00:57:06.39\00:57:08.62
not even Methuselah.
00:57:08.66\00:57:09.99
You see, Mark, how
does this all apply
00:57:13.70\00:57:15.16
to my daily walk for Jesus?
00:57:15.20\00:57:18.43
The most dangerous
element about the little horn is
00:57:18.47\00:57:20.67
that it obscures the
light of truth about Jesus.
00:57:20.70\00:57:25.81
And this is a poignant reminder.
00:57:25.84\00:57:29.11
Look only to Jesus.
00:57:29.14\00:57:32.81
All those sudden
and the alarming changes
00:57:34.15\00:57:36.35
are sweeping across the globe.
00:57:36.38\00:57:38.45
You and your
family can be prepared
00:57:38.49\00:57:40.22
to face the
future with confidence.
