00:03:16.83\00:03:19.59 Did you know that? 00:03:19.63\00:03:21.00 Well, let me just give you the facts. 00:03:21.03\00:03:23.83 Dining with slow music on the average 14 minutes 00:03:23.87\00:03:29.07 you'll stay, 14 minutes longer in the restaurant 00:03:29.10\00:03:32.27 than individuals dining where fast music is playing. 00:03:32.31\00:03:35.81 So, if it's slow music you will stay in there longer 00:03:35.84\00:03:41.08 and you will actually eat slower 00:03:41.12\00:03:45.65 and less bites per minute. 00:03:45.69\00:03:49.29 So, if they are playing fast music 00:03:49.32\00:03:52.29 may be the message is please eat and leave, 00:03:52.33\00:03:54.70 so we will have room for others to serve. 00:03:54.73\00:03:58.47 Watch out for the background music too. 00:03:58.50\00:04:03.24 That's right. 00:04:03.27\00:04:04.61 Be careful if the music is too fast, 00:04:04.64\00:04:07.31 you'll eat fast, and eat more. 00:04:07.34\00:04:10.11 In other words you eat to the beat, 00:04:10.15\00:04:12.68 those are just the facts. 00:04:12.71\00:04:14.48 Well, we're not focusing on eating habits 00:04:14.52\00:04:17.15 and background music tonight. 00:04:17.19\00:04:19.35 But it is an illustration, because 00:04:19.39\00:04:22.59 it is about Worship Habits in the Christian church 00:04:22.62\00:04:26.16 and how the background of the antichrist, 00:04:26.19\00:04:30.43 so that background beat of the antichrist. 00:04:30.47\00:04:32.83 How many agree the antichrist is still pounding its drum. 00:04:32.87\00:04:36.37 And the antichrist, 00:04:36.40\00:04:40.38 how the background of the antichrist 00:04:40.41\00:04:41.84 is affecting most Christians today 00:04:41.88\00:04:43.88 without them being aware of it just as certain 00:04:43.91\00:04:46.85 as people are eating according to the beat 00:04:46.88\00:04:49.18 and are not aware of this. 00:04:49.22\00:04:50.55 So, wait a minute. 00:04:50.59\00:04:51.92 Let me ask this probing nagging question again. 00:04:51.95\00:04:54.09 Could it be that it is true 00:04:54.12\00:04:55.79 that the background of the antichrist 00:04:55.82\00:04:57.63 is affecting the worship behavior 00:04:57.66\00:04:59.69 of millions of lovely Christians 00:04:59.73\00:05:01.60 without them knowing it? 00:05:01.63\00:05:03.30 Is that a possibility? 00:05:03.33\00:05:05.53 It is true and it is outrageous in the extreme. 00:05:05.57\00:05:09.20 So do you know that you may be moving 00:05:09.24\00:05:11.84 to the beat of the antichrist while not knowing it. 00:05:11.87\00:05:16.71 I'm talking about the changes that the antichrist has made 00:05:16.75\00:05:19.61 to the Ten Commandments and how this is affecting 00:05:19.65\00:05:21.88 the worship and beliefs of love-- 00:05:21.92\00:05:25.25 of millions of lovely wonderful Christians today. 00:05:25.29\00:05:27.89 I'm talking about the changes there. 00:05:27.92\00:05:30.89 So, number one. 00:05:30.93\00:05:32.93 Has the antichrist done something to the law of God 00:05:32.96\00:05:37.03 that is affecting millions of good Christians 00:05:37.07\00:05:39.80 without them knowing it? 00:05:39.83\00:05:41.17 Has the antichrist tampered with heaven's constitution? 00:05:41.20\00:05:45.77 Has the antichrist been playing games 00:05:45.81\00:05:48.94 with the Ten Commandments? 00:05:48.98\00:05:50.85 Has the antichrist been chiseling out 00:05:50.88\00:05:54.25 the Ten Commandments? 00:05:54.28\00:05:55.88 Well, most are unaware of the background 00:05:55.92\00:05:58.99 of the antichrist and how it affects them today. 00:05:59.02\00:06:01.62 Now we will expose 00:06:01.66\00:06:02.99 the background of the antichrist. 00:06:03.02\00:06:06.29 Has the antichrist attacked the real Ark of the Covenant? 00:06:06.33\00:06:09.83 Remember, raiders of the lost ark. 00:06:09.86\00:06:12.10 How about raiders of the heavenly ark? 00:06:12.13\00:06:14.57 Has there been an attack on God's law. 00:06:14.60\00:06:17.74 Bible says in Daniel 8:12 that the antichrist dark exploits, 00:06:17.77\00:06:21.38 dark deeds would be to cast truth to the ground. 00:06:21.41\00:06:24.98 Would you agree that there is a lot of truth? 00:06:25.01\00:06:26.88 Jesus is the truth. 00:06:26.92\00:06:28.25 He is in heaven and everything you see Him 00:06:28.28\00:06:30.25 doing there in the heavenly sanctuary that's true 00:06:30.29\00:06:32.39 and it's been cast down to the ground. 00:06:32.42\00:06:34.72 So, where is the true Ark of the Covenant? 00:06:34.76\00:06:41.50 Where is the Ark? 00:06:41.53\00:06:42.86 Where is true Ark of the Covenant? 00:06:42.90\00:06:45.33 Hebrews 8:1, 2. 00:06:45.37\00:06:47.50 Let's go there and read this together 00:06:47.54\00:06:50.11 and we're gonna keep our foot on the accelerator tonight, 00:06:50.14\00:06:53.24 so fasten your seatbelts 00:06:53.27\00:06:55.34 and really stay perked up here tonight, okay? 00:06:55.38\00:06:58.61 Hebrews 8:1, 2. 00:06:58.65\00:07:01.48 "Now this is the main point of the things we're saying. 00:07:01.52\00:07:04.12 We have such a high Priest who is seated 00:07:04.15\00:07:06.45 at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens. 00:07:06.49\00:07:09.19 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true Tabernacle 00:07:09.22\00:07:14.43 which the Lord erected and not man." 00:07:14.46\00:07:17.83 So the Bible makes it very clear 00:07:17.87\00:07:19.43 that the earthly sanctuary was a miniature model 00:07:19.47\00:07:22.64 of the true one, the heavenly one. 00:07:22.67\00:07:25.74 So therefore, the high priest in heaven was foreshadowed. 00:07:25.77\00:07:31.68 His work was foreshadowed 00:07:31.71\00:07:33.15 by the earthly priest in the earthly sanctuary. 00:07:33.18\00:07:36.99 The earthly sanctuary had a holy place 00:07:37.02\00:07:40.86 and the most holy place, so it is in heaven. 00:07:40.89\00:07:44.03 There was the Ark of the Covenant 00:07:44.06\00:07:46.09 in the holy precincts of the most holy place 00:07:46.13\00:07:49.66 and so there is a Ark of the Covenant in heaven, 00:07:49.70\00:07:53.74 because the one on earth 00:07:53.77\00:07:55.27 was just a little miniature model of the one in heaven. 00:07:55.30\00:07:58.97 Are you with me thus far? 00:07:59.01\00:08:00.58 So therefore, where is Jesus now? 00:08:00.61\00:08:06.11 Revelation, Revelation 11. Let's go there very quickly. 00:08:06.15\00:08:10.29 Verse 19, "Then the temple of God was open in heaven 00:08:10.32\00:08:13.49 and the Ark of his Covenant was seen in his temple." 00:08:13.52\00:08:17.76 So therefore, where is Jesus now? 00:08:17.79\00:08:19.93 He is standing right there 00:08:19.96\00:08:22.10 in front of the Ark of the Covenant 00:08:22.13\00:08:25.03 at the right hand of God there at the throne of His grace. 00:08:25.07\00:08:28.90 The mercy seat is above the Ark of the Covenant, 00:08:28.94\00:08:32.31 the top part the lid of that, of that golden desk 00:08:32.34\00:08:36.31 with the two cherubims there 00:08:36.34\00:08:39.48 and here the presence of God is there 00:08:39.51\00:08:43.82 and Jesus is there interceding on our behalf 00:08:43.85\00:08:46.45 bleeding His blood right there at the mercy seat 00:08:46.49\00:08:49.52 that's known as the throne of grace. 00:08:49.56\00:08:51.33 Hebrews 4:14 to 16, 00:08:51.36\00:08:53.50 "We have to come boldly before his throne of grace." 00:08:53.53\00:08:56.10 Why? 00:08:56.13\00:08:57.47 Because we have a sympathizing high priest as our mediator, 00:08:57.50\00:09:00.14 our advocate, our intercessor. 00:09:00.17\00:09:02.47 And so the Bible makes it very clear 00:09:02.50\00:09:04.81 that John saw the temple of God open in heaven 00:09:04.84\00:09:09.98 and he saw this and God wants us to see what he saw. 00:09:10.01\00:09:14.68 And would you agree he was favored by these visions 00:09:14.72\00:09:18.22 and no wonder God says, "If you study these visions, 00:09:18.25\00:09:21.56 you'll be blessed just like John was 00:09:21.59\00:09:23.93 with understanding Bible prophecy." 00:09:23.96\00:09:26.86 And so, the temple of God was open in heaven 00:09:26.90\00:09:30.20 and there was seen the Ark of his what? 00:09:30.23\00:09:33.90 Of His Covenant. 00:09:33.94\00:09:35.44 Now, therefore Jesus stands at His mercy seat 00:09:35.47\00:09:39.54 to intercede for us. 00:09:39.57\00:09:40.91 Doesn't that give your heart encouragement tonight 00:09:40.94\00:09:43.58 knowing that He is right now interceding for you? 00:09:43.61\00:09:48.92 Isaiah 49:14 and 15 says, 00:09:48.95\00:09:51.85 the Lord says, "I will not forget you." 00:09:51.89\00:09:55.16 He says, "I have you on the palms of my hands." 00:09:55.19\00:09:59.16 Amen? 00:09:59.19\00:10:00.53 I am so glad, I know sometimes you're praying 00:10:00.56\00:10:03.90 and you don't seem to get answers to prayer right away 00:10:03.93\00:10:05.97 and God where are you? 00:10:06.00\00:10:07.80 And the Lord says, "I will not forget you." 00:10:07.84\00:10:11.04 Bible says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 00:10:11.07\00:10:15.14 Hebrews 13:5 and 6. 00:10:15.18\00:10:17.61 Would you agree, feelings can fool us at times. 00:10:17.65\00:10:20.32 Feeling are very misleading and deceptive. 00:10:20.35\00:10:22.88 You pray Lord forgive me and you don't feel forgiven. 00:10:22.92\00:10:26.05 Feelings have nothing to do with it. 00:10:26.09\00:10:28.49 You go by the word of God. Your feelings are like sand. 00:10:28.52\00:10:32.86 Your feelings are like a roller coaster at times. 00:10:32.89\00:10:35.73 Our faith is not dependent on your latest mood 00:10:35.76\00:10:38.63 or latest pulse of your emotions. 00:10:38.67\00:10:41.34 It's based on the rock of the word of God. 00:10:41.37\00:10:43.61 Can you say amen to that? Do you believe that? 00:10:43.64\00:10:45.74 And so listen. 00:10:45.77\00:10:47.24 Jesus stands by His Ten Commandments 00:10:47.28\00:10:51.71 in the heavenly sanctuary. 00:10:51.75\00:10:53.52 Did you hear that? 00:10:53.55\00:10:54.88 Do you recognize truth when you hear it? 00:10:54.92\00:10:56.82 We just read in the Bible that we can see in the temple 00:10:56.85\00:11:01.26 by the Ark of the Covenant, 00:11:01.29\00:11:02.62 and that's where the earthly priest went. 00:11:02.66\00:11:04.69 That's where our great high priest is. 00:11:04.73\00:11:06.86 Jesus has not changed His Ten Commandments. 00:11:06.90\00:11:09.96 He is standing by them. 00:11:10.00\00:11:12.17 Wow, the implications of that, the ramifications of that, 00:11:12.20\00:11:16.04 the truth that emanates from that. 00:11:16.07\00:11:18.84 And so if Jesus is standing by His Covenant, 00:11:18.87\00:11:22.41 has it been changed? 00:11:22.44\00:11:24.51 No, no, The Ten Commandment law has not changed, 00:11:24.55\00:11:29.58 been abrogated, or nullified, or done away with, or revised. 00:11:29.62\00:11:34.46 No, it comes down unchanged ever since it was given, 00:11:34.49\00:11:39.16 because the Ten Commandments that were placed 00:11:39.19\00:11:41.16 in that Ark of the Covenant on earth 00:11:41.20\00:11:44.90 that is the copy of the one that is in what? 00:11:44.93\00:11:50.11 In the heavenly sanctuary. 00:11:50.14\00:11:52.37 And so what is the standard in the judgment? 00:11:52.41\00:11:55.31 The Bible says that the first angel's message 00:11:55.34\00:11:57.31 or Revelation 14:6 and 7, 00:11:57.35\00:12:00.68 "That we're living in the hour of God's judgment." 00:12:00.72\00:12:04.35 "Judgment begins at the house of God." 00:12:04.39\00:12:06.59 1 Peter 4:17. 00:12:06.62\00:12:08.82 And so the Bible makes it clear before Jesus comes, 00:12:08.86\00:12:11.63 He will decide who is gonna be saved and who is gonna be lost. 00:12:11.66\00:12:14.96 And before He comes quickly, Revelation 22:11 and 12 says, 00:12:15.00\00:12:18.83 He says in verse 12, "I'm coming quickly 00:12:18.87\00:12:20.67 and I have my rewards with me." 00:12:20.70\00:12:22.40 And the verse before that says, "That before He comes, 00:12:22.44\00:12:25.77 He's gonna say, "that one's righteous 00:12:25.81\00:12:28.48 they're gonna be righteous still. 00:12:28.51\00:12:29.84 That one over there is filthy, let him be filthy still." 00:12:29.88\00:12:33.01 And then the Lord comes. 00:12:33.05\00:12:34.68 What would you call that process 00:12:34.72\00:12:36.05 in which he determines that one is safe, that one is not safe? 00:12:36.08\00:12:39.39 Judgment. 00:12:39.42\00:12:40.76 And would you agree, if it comes with his rewards 00:12:40.79\00:12:43.49 that necessitate Him judging, who gets what rewards? 00:12:43.53\00:12:47.83 Would you agree, that when He comes, 00:12:47.86\00:12:50.63 He is not gonna hang up in this, He is not gonna, 00:12:50.67\00:12:52.90 you know, be suspended in the air 00:12:52.93\00:12:55.17 and just wait there thinking, who do I come for? 00:12:55.20\00:12:57.74 Would you agree, when He comes, He knows who He is coming for? 00:12:57.77\00:13:01.04 Hence, there is a judgment before He comes. 00:13:01.08\00:13:03.28 Does this make sense? 00:13:03.31\00:13:04.95 And so the Bible makes it very clear 00:13:04.98\00:13:06.51 that there is a judgment. 00:13:06.55\00:13:07.88 This is not to be confused 00:13:07.92\00:13:09.38 with the great white throne judgment 00:13:09.42\00:13:11.89 that it's later when every knee shall bow 00:13:11.92\00:13:13.86 and every tongue confess including the devil himself. 00:13:13.89\00:13:16.83 All the righteous and unrighteous at that day 00:13:16.86\00:13:19.79 will kneel down and the sheep and the goats to be separated 00:13:19.83\00:13:23.77 and so forth, that's later. 00:13:23.80\00:13:25.73 But there is a judgment right now going on 00:13:25.77\00:13:29.14 in the church who is gonna be saved, who is gonna be lost. 00:13:29.17\00:13:31.87 In Revelation 3, it's described in this way, 00:13:31.91\00:13:35.08 the Lord says to his church, Laodicea, the term Laodicea, 00:13:35.11\00:13:38.35 the Seventh Church that is representation of God's people 00:13:38.38\00:13:42.22 in the last days of earth's history. 00:13:42.25\00:13:44.09 The term Laodicea literally means ones who are judged. 00:13:44.12\00:13:47.99 Judgment begins at the house of God, 00:13:48.02\00:13:49.89 1 Peter 4:17. 00:13:49.92\00:13:51.66 So the Bible makes it very clear, 00:13:51.69\00:13:53.03 Jesus says, "If you remain lukewarm, 00:13:53.06\00:13:56.23 I'm gonna spit you out of my mouth." 00:13:56.26\00:13:58.23 Well if He's our intercessor, 00:13:58.27\00:14:00.14 what's coming out of His mouth right now? 00:14:00.17\00:14:02.27 Our prayers. What else? 00:14:02.30\00:14:05.67 What the Bible says, "If you confess me before men, 00:14:05.71\00:14:09.91 I'll confess you before my father." 00:14:09.94\00:14:11.95 Matthew 10:32. 00:14:11.98\00:14:15.58 So the Bible makes it very clear. 00:14:15.62\00:14:17.15 If he spits you out of his mouth, 00:14:17.19\00:14:19.05 He no longer intercedes for you. 00:14:19.09\00:14:23.22 And you would be lost and bloated out of book of life. 00:14:23.26\00:14:25.56 What would you call that? Judgment. 00:14:25.59\00:14:27.10 But the Bible says if we repent and we get our first love back 00:14:27.13\00:14:31.20 and we get fired up for Jesus Christ, 00:14:31.23\00:14:33.54 would you agree people lukewarm are not going to heaven? 00:14:33.57\00:14:36.91 You don't go to heaven liking Jesus, 00:14:36.94\00:14:38.64 you don't go to heaven, 'cause you're good person. 00:14:38.67\00:14:40.74 Even Nicodemus was told, you got to be born again. 00:14:40.78\00:14:44.98 Amen. He was a good man. 00:14:45.01\00:14:46.51 He was going to church, but he was told 00:14:46.55\00:14:48.45 you got to be born again. 00:14:48.48\00:14:50.22 You got to have the baptism of fire, 00:14:50.25\00:14:52.35 that's what Jesus said. 00:14:52.39\00:14:53.72 You got to go to heaven in love with Jesus. 00:14:53.76\00:14:55.96 How many agree when you're in love, 00:14:55.99\00:14:57.99 you know you're in love. 00:14:58.03\00:14:59.56 Now your feelings aren't always what you would wish 00:14:59.59\00:15:02.00 they would be, but you know that you know. 00:15:02.03\00:15:04.30 This is life eternal that they might know 00:15:04.33\00:15:06.67 the only true God. 00:15:06.70\00:15:08.57 That's in Jesus Christ whom he has sent, John 17:3. 00:15:08.60\00:15:12.31 So Revelation 3:14-21 makes it clear, 00:15:12.34\00:15:15.94 the Laodicean message is, "In the last days 00:15:15.98\00:15:18.61 if you remain lukewarm, I'll spit you out of my mouth." 00:15:18.65\00:15:21.18 So there is a judgment. 00:15:21.22\00:15:22.98 So the question is, 00:15:23.02\00:15:24.35 what is the standard in that judgment? 00:15:24.39\00:15:25.99 You know, if you gonna have a court, 00:15:26.02\00:15:28.02 you know in the laws of the land, 00:15:28.06\00:15:29.99 you got to have a law by which you're judged. 00:15:30.03\00:15:34.20 And so what is the standard in the judgment? 00:15:34.23\00:15:37.40 James 2:12, "So speak and so do as those 00:15:37.43\00:15:40.57 who will be judged by the law of liberty." 00:15:40.60\00:15:43.20 "We are not saved by the law, 00:15:43.24\00:15:45.14 we are saved by grace through faith." 00:15:45.17\00:15:47.24 Ephesians 2:8 and 9. 00:15:47.28\00:15:49.94 We do not earn salvation, it's a free gift." 00:15:49.98\00:15:52.38 Ephesians 2:8 makes that clear. 00:15:52.41\00:15:54.42 Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death, 00:15:54.45\00:15:57.62 but the free gift of God is eternal life 00:15:57.65\00:16:00.42 through Jesus Christ, our Lord." 00:16:00.46\00:16:02.26 So salvation is a gift. 00:16:02.29\00:16:04.03 We are saved by grace, 00:16:04.06\00:16:05.79 but faith without works is dead. 00:16:05.83\00:16:10.07 James 2:26, "By their fruits you shall know them." 00:16:10.10\00:16:15.44 And so Matthew 7:20, so listen carefully, 00:16:15.47\00:16:19.17 the Bible makes it very clear, 00:16:19.21\00:16:21.74 that we are not saved by the law, 00:16:21.78\00:16:24.81 would you agree, obedience of the law, that's the fruit. 00:16:24.85\00:16:28.85 Amen, that's the fruit. 00:16:28.88\00:16:31.05 Obedience is the fruit of faith. 00:16:31.09\00:16:34.02 Can you say amen? 00:16:34.06\00:16:35.39 And one word that sums up true obedience is love. 00:16:35.42\00:16:39.46 Amen? It's all about love. 00:16:39.49\00:16:42.60 Now listen carefully. 00:16:42.63\00:16:44.83 The law of God is the standard by which we are judged. 00:16:44.87\00:16:50.64 No one can keep that law on their own strength. 00:16:50.67\00:16:55.08 Jesus said, "Without me you can do nothing." 00:16:55.11\00:16:56.95 John 15:5. 00:16:56.98\00:16:58.71 But the Bible also says, you cannot be saved 00:16:58.75\00:17:01.18 while you knowingly, willfully, deliberately 00:17:01.22\00:17:05.35 are trampling on the law of God. 00:17:05.39\00:17:06.92 Would you agree? You don't go to heaven holding on to sin. 00:17:06.96\00:17:08.92 You go to heaven because he has saved you 00:17:08.96\00:17:11.33 from any known sin. 00:17:11.36\00:17:12.69 Would you agree? 00:17:12.73\00:17:14.06 You ought to go to bed tonight 00:17:14.10\00:17:15.43 knowing there is no sin on your heart. 00:17:15.46\00:17:17.07 Amen? 00:17:17.10\00:17:18.43 I mean if you don't know that you need to, 00:17:18.47\00:17:20.17 Paul said "I follow God with a clear conscience." 00:17:20.20\00:17:24.74 That is to say, but he never claimed to be perfect. 00:17:24.77\00:17:27.54 He claimed that he needed to confess his sins daily, 00:17:27.58\00:17:29.78 right? 00:17:29.81\00:17:31.15 Every day we confess our sins, they are forgiven, 00:17:31.18\00:17:33.52 our heart is right with God. 00:17:33.55\00:17:34.88 Amen? Does that make sense? 00:17:34.92\00:17:36.25 So remember Jesus said to the woman 00:17:36.28\00:17:37.85 caught in the act of adultery, "I don't condemn you." 00:17:37.89\00:17:40.96 It's forgiveness. 00:17:40.99\00:17:42.32 "Now go leave your life of sin." 00:17:42.36\00:17:43.69 That's obedience. Amen. 00:17:43.73\00:17:45.83 How many agree, we are saved to obey. 00:17:45.86\00:17:49.66 Trust and obey, there is no other way 00:17:49.70\00:17:52.20 to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 00:17:52.23\00:17:54.77 If you're going through a personal crisis in your life, 00:17:55.54\00:17:58.41 if you're facing financial challenges, 00:17:58.44\00:18:00.81 if you're suffering from a health problem, 00:18:00.84\00:18:03.04 if your marriage is needing a miracle, 00:18:03.08\00:18:05.45 if you have a special concern for your children, 00:18:05.48\00:18:07.85 whatever your need may be, give us a call, 00:18:07.88\00:18:09.98 and we will pray with you. 00:18:10.02\00:18:11.35 For your prayer requests, call us at 1-855-336-free. 00:18:11.39\00:18:16.96 "If the Son set you free, you're free indeed." 00:18:16.99\00:18:20.40 John 8:36. 00:18:20.43\00:18:21.86 So how is our love defined? 00:18:28.97\00:18:34.31 Listen carefully, listen carefully. 00:18:34.34\00:18:37.18 Make this very simple. 00:18:37.21\00:18:39.15 If a person says, "I love the Lord," 00:18:39.18\00:18:41.28 Jesus said, "If you love Me, obey me. 00:18:41.32\00:18:45.22 If you love Me, keep My Commandments." 00:18:45.25\00:18:46.99 John 14:50. 00:18:47.02\00:18:48.89 We don't do that in our own strength, 00:18:48.92\00:18:50.39 we need the help of the Holy Spirit. 00:18:50.43\00:18:52.36 But notice this, you cannot be saved while saying, 00:18:52.39\00:18:56.46 "I love the Lord, 00:18:56.50\00:18:57.83 but I'm knowingly breaking one those commandments." 00:18:57.87\00:19:00.10 "Thou shall call his name Jesus for He shall save his people 00:19:00.14\00:19:04.11 from their sin, from their sin." 00:19:04.14\00:19:08.51 He told the woman caught in the act of adultery, 00:19:08.54\00:19:10.91 "Now go leave your life of sin." 00:19:10.95\00:19:12.71 "Sin is the transgression of the law of God." 00:19:12.75\00:19:15.45 1 John 3:4. 00:19:15.48\00:19:16.92 So Jesus comes to save us from our sin, Mathew 12:1. 00:19:16.95\00:19:21.49 So the standard in the judgment is the Ten Commandment law, 00:19:21.52\00:19:26.86 and Jesus stands there by His Ark of the Covenant 00:19:26.90\00:19:31.67 and Ten Commandments. 00:19:31.70\00:19:33.03 We are under grace, that's the mercy, 00:19:33.07\00:19:36.54 but what's underneath that mercy? 00:19:36.57\00:19:38.57 The beautiful covenant. 00:19:38.61\00:19:40.21 Would you agree, there is nothing. 00:19:40.24\00:19:41.58 The Bible says the law of God is perfect. 00:19:41.61\00:19:43.75 You don't look out and say, "Oh, that's horrible." 00:19:43.78\00:19:45.78 It's beautiful, you just can't keep it in your own strength. 00:19:45.81\00:19:48.55 Would you agree the law of God is a mirror? 00:19:48.58\00:19:51.05 It points out anything that you need to change 00:19:51.09\00:19:54.12 in order to be in harmony with the law of God, 00:19:54.16\00:19:56.29 and Jesus is our righteousness. 00:19:56.32\00:19:58.89 So that as we're forgiven for breaking the law 00:19:58.93\00:20:02.50 and empowered to obey the law, we are in harmony with God, 00:20:02.53\00:20:07.80 amen. 00:20:07.84\00:20:09.17 And so we continue. 00:20:09.20\00:20:12.47 If the standard in the judgment is the Law of God, 00:20:12.51\00:20:16.31 has it been changed? 00:20:16.34\00:20:17.71 No. What is New Covenant? 00:20:17.75\00:20:19.88 Hebrews 8:10 says, 00:20:19.91\00:20:21.98 "I will write the law in their hearts and minds." 00:20:22.02\00:20:27.96 Amen. Amen. It's in the heart. 00:20:27.99\00:20:31.69 So which Commandment 00:20:31.73\00:20:33.66 is a reminder of God's creative power 00:20:33.70\00:20:36.97 and a sign of the loving covenant? 00:20:37.00\00:20:40.54 Would you agree we are married to Jesus 00:20:40.57\00:20:42.97 and we are involved in His covenant? 00:20:43.00\00:20:46.14 We're in covenant relationship with Him. 00:20:46.17\00:20:48.54 "Moreover I also gave them my Sabbaths 00:20:48.58\00:20:51.55 to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know 00:20:51.58\00:20:54.38 that I am the Lord who sanctifies them." 00:20:54.42\00:20:56.42 Ezekiel 20:12. It is a special sign. 00:20:56.45\00:20:59.69 It's more than a day. More than a day. 00:20:59.72\00:21:02.56 The Sabbath is a sign or reminder 00:21:02.59\00:21:05.49 of the power of Christ to sanctify us, 00:21:05.53\00:21:08.80 that is make us holy, that it deliver us from sin. 00:21:08.83\00:21:11.50 The Sabbath is a sign, look what I can do. 00:21:11.53\00:21:15.94 Look what I can do. 00:21:15.97\00:21:17.31 How many agree, God is working miracles in your life. 00:21:17.34\00:21:21.08 The Bible says, "He works in us both to will 00:21:21.11\00:21:24.98 and to do of his good pleasure." 00:21:25.01\00:21:26.55 Philippians 2:13. He's working, working. 00:21:26.58\00:21:29.48 Some of us make Him work overtime, 00:21:29.52\00:21:31.15 but anyway He is working, amen? 00:21:31.19\00:21:33.32 So we are under construction. 00:21:33.36\00:21:34.69 So the Sabbath is a sign, 00:21:34.72\00:21:36.22 a reminder of the power of Christ to save us from sin. 00:21:36.26\00:21:39.59 The Sabbath reminds us. 00:21:39.63\00:21:41.23 After all the Sabbath word, Sabbath is all about rest. 00:21:41.26\00:21:45.20 The word Sabbath literally means rest. 00:21:45.23\00:21:48.17 Would you agree, none of us can truly find rest 00:21:48.20\00:21:52.07 except in Christ? 00:21:52.11\00:21:54.24 Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are burdened..." 00:21:54.28\00:21:57.78 Can I add stressed out? "And I will give you rest." 00:21:57.81\00:22:03.99 That's a wonderful promise 00:22:04.02\00:22:05.35 you might want to go to the heavenly banquet. 00:22:05.39\00:22:08.56 Mathew 11:20. 00:22:08.59\00:22:10.56 And so the Bible makes it very clear 00:22:10.59\00:22:12.43 that if Jesus gives us rest, 00:22:12.46\00:22:15.23 you really can't keep the Sabbath 00:22:15.26\00:22:16.73 unless you first come to Jesus, 00:22:16.77\00:22:19.10 then you can really enjoy the Sabbath, 00:22:19.13\00:22:21.74 because would you agree, the Sabbath is more than, 00:22:21.77\00:22:23.54 "oh, I don't have to work today." 00:22:23.57\00:22:24.91 How many agree, you can be off work 00:22:24.94\00:22:26.44 and still be stressed out. 00:22:26.47\00:22:29.21 You need Jesus. Amen? It's more than just a day off. 00:22:29.24\00:22:32.95 Amen. And so listen, listen. Jesus alone can make us holy. 00:22:32.98\00:22:40.06 You and I can't change our heart. 00:22:40.09\00:22:42.56 You and I can't make ourselves right with God. 00:22:42.59\00:22:46.09 Jesus is already done that and we can't make, 00:22:46.13\00:22:49.16 He says what does He say, "I will give you a new heart." 00:22:49.20\00:22:53.40 Ezekiel 36:26. 00:22:53.44\00:22:55.30 He promises to give us a new heart 00:22:55.34\00:22:57.67 and Jesus alone can make us holy 00:22:57.71\00:22:59.74 and the Sabbath is a sign that He can make us holy. 00:22:59.77\00:23:03.08 So it's a sign of what He does to save us 00:23:03.11\00:23:06.41 from sin, self and Satan. 00:23:06.45\00:23:08.08 Can you say amen? 00:23:08.12\00:23:10.49 Jesus alone can change our hearts. 00:23:10.52\00:23:12.99 That's why looking unto Jesus, 00:23:13.02\00:23:15.02 the author and finisher of our faith." 00:23:15.06\00:23:16.39 Hebrews 12:2. 00:23:16.42\00:23:18.16 The Sabbath is a sign, a drastic one, 00:23:18.19\00:23:22.96 powerful one of the covenant. 00:23:23.00\00:23:25.87 How beautiful it is, no wonder the devil hates it. 00:23:25.90\00:23:29.04 So who is the antichrist and has the antichrist 00:23:29.07\00:23:32.11 attacked the Ten Commandments and the Sabbath, 00:23:32.14\00:23:34.98 because it's all about the covenant, 00:23:35.01\00:23:36.58 it's all about the rest, it's all about joy in the Lord. 00:23:36.61\00:23:40.78 Oh, yeah. 00:23:40.82\00:23:42.15 Is there an intriguing, suspicious, 00:23:42.18\00:23:43.92 and surprising connection 00:23:43.95\00:23:45.29 between the Antichrist and the Ten Commandments? 00:23:45.32\00:23:49.02 Now let us do a background check 00:23:49.06\00:23:51.36 on the Antichrist. 00:23:51.39\00:23:52.73 The antichrist was clearly and correctly identified 00:23:52.76\00:23:55.10 by all the Protestant Reformers down through the centuries. 00:23:55.13\00:23:58.47 Mark Luther, Tindal, Huss, John Huss, 00:23:58.50\00:24:03.71 the Wesley Brothers, Knox, Tindal, even King James himself 00:24:03.74\00:24:08.78 and you know, you've heard of the King James Version, 00:24:08.81\00:24:11.15 King James himself. 00:24:11.18\00:24:12.51 They all believed categorically, 00:24:12.55\00:24:14.32 unequivocally, unabashedly, 00:24:14.35\00:24:16.58 that the antichrist was the papal power. 00:24:16.62\00:24:21.72 I will tell you this that God has loving Christians 00:24:21.76\00:24:25.26 I believe in all churches. 00:24:25.29\00:24:27.93 But that doesn't mean that everything out there 00:24:27.96\00:24:30.53 is correct. 00:24:30.57\00:24:32.07 And so this is not to judge people 00:24:32.10\00:24:35.64 that our lovely Christians, but rather talking 00:24:35.67\00:24:38.84 about some things that are being taught as truth 00:24:38.87\00:24:42.58 that are really not. 00:24:42.61\00:24:43.95 And so think about it with me. 00:24:43.98\00:24:47.88 In Daniel Chapter 2, we had a rise 00:24:47.92\00:24:52.29 and fall of four world empires, Babylon, Medo-Persia, 00:24:52.32\00:24:54.92 Greece and Rome with the four metals. 00:24:54.96\00:24:58.06 Then the break up of the Roman Empire 00:24:58.09\00:24:59.59 represented by the 10 toes and that would be Europe. 00:24:59.63\00:25:04.10 And of course now there is more than 10 divisions. 00:25:04.13\00:25:06.90 Then in Daniel 7, we had four beasts, 00:25:06.94\00:25:12.01 four beasts which represents kingdoms 00:25:12.04\00:25:14.84 according to Daniel 7:17 and 23. 00:25:14.88\00:25:20.08 The Bible says a beast represents a kingdom. 00:25:20.12\00:25:23.39 So this isn't my opinion, 00:25:23.42\00:25:25.02 that's what the Book of Daniel says. 00:25:25.05\00:25:27.06 Remember if it's in the Bible we want it, 00:25:27.09\00:25:28.89 if it's not in the Bible we don't want it. 00:25:28.92\00:25:31.06 That's our motto. 00:25:31.09\00:25:32.43 So here we have four strange beasts 00:25:32.46\00:25:34.60 arising from the tumultuous waters. 00:25:34.63\00:25:37.07 That's Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. 00:25:37.10\00:25:39.43 And then the fourth creature has 10 horns that would 00:25:39.47\00:25:43.74 represent the break up of the Roman Empire as well. 00:25:43.77\00:25:46.37 You see the correspondence between the two here 00:25:46.41\00:25:48.94 and so think about it. 00:25:48.98\00:25:51.11 In this panorama prophetic vision 00:25:51.15\00:25:52.98 we see some intriguing symbols. 00:25:53.01\00:25:54.95 We need to carefully prayerfully 00:25:54.98\00:25:56.32 decode the symbolic language. 00:25:56.35\00:25:58.35 Here we have the dramatic rise and fall 00:25:58.39\00:26:00.79 of the four successive world empires 00:26:00.82\00:26:02.99 Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome 00:26:03.02\00:26:05.96 and then the 10 divisions of Rome. 00:26:05.99\00:26:08.50 Now these 10 original tribes or kingdoms 00:26:08.53\00:26:12.23 find their modern counterparts 00:26:12.27\00:26:13.87 in the modern nations of Europe today 00:26:13.90\00:26:15.84 with the exception of three. 00:26:15.87\00:26:17.21 So you have Alamanni, Franks, Saxons, Visigoths, 00:26:17.24\00:26:19.97 Burgundians, Lombards, Suvi, Germans, French, English, 00:26:20.01\00:26:24.91 Spanish, Swiss, Italians and Portuguese 00:26:24.95\00:26:27.98 and three Heruli, Vandals and Ostrogoths 00:26:28.02\00:26:30.95 were uprooted as the antichrist was rising to prominence. 00:26:30.99\00:26:35.32 Now in Daniel 7, you remember we had an entire presentation 00:26:35.36\00:26:39.59 dealing with the antichrist, and you remember it 00:26:39.63\00:26:43.30 all the clues came from Daniel 7. 00:26:43.33\00:26:46.77 It's all right there in Daniel 7. 00:26:46.80\00:26:49.04 So, you can remember. Everybody say Daniel 7. 00:26:49.07\00:26:51.61 So you can go there and check it out. 00:26:51.64\00:26:53.84 Well, let me just go through nine prophetic clues 00:26:53.88\00:26:56.34 from Daniel 7, and let see if the Protestant Reformers 00:26:56.38\00:27:01.55 were right that the antichrist is the papacy. 00:27:01.58\00:27:04.95 All roads leading to papal, Rome. 00:27:04.99\00:27:08.82 Well, it's a fact of history, background history 00:27:08.86\00:27:13.66 that when Constantine relocated his capital seat from Rome, 00:27:13.70\00:27:17.80 prestigious Rome to Byzantium 00:27:17.83\00:27:20.70 and rename Byzantium Constantinople 00:27:20.74\00:27:25.51 who filled I should say the political vacuum 00:27:25.54\00:27:28.94 that he had left there in the capital of Rome, 00:27:28.98\00:27:31.88 the former capital. 00:27:31.91\00:27:33.58 Who filled the political vacuum? 00:27:33.62\00:27:35.88 The Bishop of Rome. 00:27:35.92\00:27:37.79 And so Rome would continue to be popular 00:27:37.82\00:27:41.59 not as a political capital but as a religious capital. 00:27:41.62\00:27:45.16 Well, number one, 00:27:45.19\00:27:46.53 this little horn power would represent the antichrist. 00:27:46.56\00:27:48.96 This little horn power arose out of the fourth beast, 00:27:49.00\00:27:51.87 pagan Rome, right? 00:27:51.90\00:27:53.50 So it's a Roman power. 00:27:53.54\00:27:55.00 We're identifying the antichrist 00:27:55.04\00:27:56.57 and seeing if indeed the papacy meets 00:27:56.60\00:27:59.81 all of the prophetic Biblical specification 00:27:59.84\00:28:02.88 of Daniel Chapter 7. 00:28:02.91\00:28:04.88 So number two, it arose among the 10 horns, 00:28:04.91\00:28:08.35 that is the ten divisions of Rome. 00:28:08.38\00:28:10.45 That is it would arise from Europe 00:28:10.49\00:28:13.15 the 10 divisions of Rome. 00:28:13.19\00:28:16.32 Number three, it would arise after the 10 horns, 00:28:16.36\00:28:19.06 after the break-up of the Rome empire 00:28:19.09\00:28:21.23 historian say 476 AD marks the collapse, 00:28:21.26\00:28:25.13 although it was gradual of the pagan Roman empire 00:28:25.17\00:28:28.20 dividing up of Rome. 00:28:28.24\00:28:29.94 So it would arise to prominence in the fifth century. 00:28:29.97\00:28:34.64 So talk about the background music 00:28:34.68\00:28:36.91 no, no, no we're talking about the background history 00:28:36.95\00:28:39.65 and has there been a cover-up? 00:28:39.68\00:28:44.79 Number four, different from the other horns. 00:28:44.82\00:28:47.16 This one would be religious and political. 00:28:47.19\00:28:49.66 Number five, a look more stout than this fellows. 00:28:49.69\00:28:52.03 It would dominate Europe. 00:28:52.06\00:28:53.60 Number six, it uproots three kingdoms, 00:28:53.63\00:28:55.70 Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths. 00:28:55.73\00:28:58.33 Number seven, spoke great words against the most high, 00:28:58.37\00:29:01.84 blasphemy. 00:29:01.87\00:29:03.20 Claims to forgive sin, claims Mother Mary is a Mediatrix 00:29:03.24\00:29:06.94 and hears prayers of the saints etcetera, etcetera. 00:29:06.98\00:29:11.21 Blasphemy being claiming the rights or purgatives 00:29:11.25\00:29:14.45 or titles that belong to God alone. 00:29:14.48\00:29:16.65 So "spoke great words against the Most High." 00:29:16.69\00:29:19.45 Has the papacy done this, I share of this in love. 00:29:19.49\00:29:23.09 They teach Penance, Purgatory, Mary as an intercessor, 00:29:23.12\00:29:26.59 Confession to Priests, Enforced Celibacy, 00:29:26.63\00:29:29.73 Image worship, Changed the Ten Commandments, 00:29:29.76\00:29:32.10 Infallibility of the Pope, Sprinkling 00:29:32.13\00:29:34.54 instead of immersion by baptism and the list can go 00:29:34.57\00:29:37.61 on and on and on of all sorts of false teaching. 00:29:37.64\00:29:42.01 Number eight, wore out the saints of the Most High. 00:29:42.04\00:29:45.15 That is it's a persecuting power. 00:29:45.18\00:29:47.05 The papacy has a wretched past of the Dark Ages 00:29:47.08\00:29:50.19 in which 50 million people, it is estimated by historians 00:29:50.22\00:29:55.19 perish during the Dark Ages because of the antichrist. 00:29:55.22\00:29:59.63 So inescapable conclusion, the undeniable evidence 00:29:59.66\00:30:05.67 all point to Papal Rome. 00:30:05.70\00:30:09.74 That's right, it's irrefutable. 00:30:09.77\00:30:11.61 The Book of Daniel depicts a strange little talking horn. 00:30:11.64\00:30:14.91 Can you imagine? Is Truth stranger than fiction? 00:30:14.94\00:30:18.98 A little talking horn that would actually talk 00:30:19.01\00:30:21.62 and say things that are false and would persecute 00:30:21.65\00:30:24.35 those who disagreed with it. 00:30:24.39\00:30:26.52 This is none other than the antichrist. 00:30:26.55\00:30:29.52 The overwhelming clinching evidence 00:30:29.56\00:30:31.46 and predominate characteristic of the antichrist 00:30:31.49\00:30:33.86 in Daniel Chapter 7, I repeat point unerringly 00:30:33.90\00:30:38.47 to the Roman Papal Power. 00:30:38.50\00:30:41.30 All right, so here is question number eight. 00:30:41.34\00:30:43.67 Are you here with me thus far? All right, you with me? 00:30:43.71\00:30:45.91 Here we go. Number eight. 00:30:45.94\00:30:48.08 What has the Roman Papal system done to the Ten Commandments? 00:30:48.11\00:30:53.01 What has it done? Number nine, clue number nine. 00:30:53.05\00:30:58.39 Thought to change times and laws. 00:30:58.42\00:31:01.79 It would modify the Ten Commandments. 00:31:01.82\00:31:05.29 It's talking here about the laws of the Most High, 00:31:05.33\00:31:08.36 the Ten Commandments. 00:31:08.40\00:31:09.73 And it would think to what? Change. 00:31:09.76\00:31:13.67 Give me another synonym here. 00:31:13.70\00:31:15.77 Now get out your thesaurus, 00:31:15.80\00:31:17.51 that's one of my favorite books 00:31:17.54\00:31:18.87 by the way is a thesaurus. 00:31:18.91\00:31:20.34 All right, think about it. 00:31:20.38\00:31:22.41 You've got changing or revising, 00:31:22.44\00:31:26.01 modifying, altering, substituting, 00:31:26.05\00:31:29.78 all right that's enough synonyms there, all right. 00:31:29.82\00:31:31.85 Think to change or alter times and laws. 00:31:31.89\00:31:37.76 So I want you to think about this. 00:31:37.79\00:31:40.13 That means that antichrist would promulgate and propagate 00:31:40.16\00:31:46.07 counterfeit version of the Ten Commandments. 00:31:46.10\00:31:49.77 And millions of Christians would subscribe 00:31:49.80\00:31:54.38 not knowing if there was anything wrong. 00:31:54.41\00:31:58.41 Beware of the background cover-up. 00:31:58.45\00:32:03.35 So then who is the antichrist acting 00:32:03.39\00:32:07.66 as if they are when they change the very Law of God? 00:32:07.69\00:32:12.49 Would you agree, some things are holy? 00:32:12.53\00:32:16.16 The Ten Commandments are holy. Word of God is holy. 00:32:16.20\00:32:19.97 The man of sin is revealed, so that he sits 00:32:20.00\00:32:22.07 in the temple of God in the Christian community, 00:32:22.10\00:32:25.67 showing him that he is God, but he is not. 00:32:25.71\00:32:29.24 But would you agree messing with the Ten Commandments. 00:32:29.28\00:32:31.68 You know, in Texas we say, "Don't mess with Texas." 00:32:31.71\00:32:34.12 Forget that, don't mess with the Ten Commandments, right? 00:32:34.15\00:32:37.95 And so that's 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and 4. 00:32:37.99\00:32:41.62 Number nine. Who changed the Sabbath? 00:32:41.66\00:32:45.36 Now I'm here to tell you 00:32:45.39\00:32:46.73 if you look in a Convert's Catechism 00:32:46.76\00:32:49.80 of Catholic Doctrine. 00:32:49.83\00:32:51.17 By the way, if you do not have one in your-- 00:32:51.20\00:32:53.37 These things are new to you. 00:32:53.40\00:32:55.50 Afterwards you just see us and we'll be glad to place 00:32:55.54\00:32:58.41 one of these copies in your hands, 00:32:58.44\00:33:01.11 so you can see it for yourself free of charge. 00:33:01.14\00:33:05.31 This is the Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine. 00:33:05.35\00:33:08.15 Keep in mind, there will be many Catholics in heaven, 00:33:08.18\00:33:11.35 there will be many Protestants in heaven. 00:33:11.39\00:33:13.52 There will be many Catholics and Protestants 00:33:13.56\00:33:15.16 that are not in heaven. 00:33:15.19\00:33:16.52 You know what? I'm not the judge, God is the judge. 00:33:16.56\00:33:19.13 But we must judge what is taught 00:33:19.16\00:33:21.40 and then we must share it and leave people with God. 00:33:21.43\00:33:24.47 Can you say amen? 00:33:24.50\00:33:25.83 And so in the Convert's Catechism, 00:33:25.87\00:33:27.84 you will discover 00:33:27.87\00:33:29.34 that they have done three things 00:33:29.37\00:33:31.57 to the Ten Commandments that are unlawful, forbidden. 00:33:31.61\00:33:36.61 Number one, they have deleted the Second Commandment 00:33:36.64\00:33:40.32 that in which God prohibits making images 00:33:40.35\00:33:43.62 and bowing down to them. 00:33:43.65\00:33:45.39 That's why you have proliferation of images 00:33:45.42\00:33:49.79 that are just laid in the churches. 00:33:49.82\00:33:55.26 To countenance that they just make people 00:33:55.30\00:33:57.30 more comfortable they have just dropped 00:33:57.33\00:33:59.37 or deleted the Second Commandment. 00:33:59.40\00:34:01.80 Well, that didn't look too good, 00:34:01.84\00:34:03.17 ten minus one equals nine. 00:34:03.20\00:34:06.37 People know you got 10 fingers, 10 toes, right? 00:34:06.41\00:34:09.24 All right, so what did they do? 00:34:09.28\00:34:12.61 They invented something else.
