00:04 We are racing towards the global crisis at the close.
00:09 God is going to set up His kingdom on earth. 00:13 Preparation for the tribulation and the translation 00:18 is to develop a character like Jesus Christ. 00:21 To reach every hamlet, every village, every man, 00:24 every child, every person in India, 00:27 every person in South America 00:28 must hear these Three Angles' Messages. 00:34 These are stories that illustrate 00:36 the kind of fabric of character and perseverance 00:39 that we need to go through the tribulation 00:42 just as certainly as they did. 00:44 The Bible makes it very clear 00:45 we are living in an unusual hour. 00:48 The last grains of sand 00:49 are trickling through the hourglass of time 00:52 and the door of probation is about to swing shot. 01:01 Tonight in this edition of Amazing Prophecies, 01:06 our topic is entitled, The Antichrist's 01:08 and History's Greatest Religious Cover-Up! 01:14 Look at Revelation 22:10. 01:16 Revelation 22:10, "And He said to me 01:19 do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book 01:22 for the time at his hand." 01:23 The Book of Revelation was never closed. 01:26 Hence, you can understand the Book of Revelation. 01:29 And how important is it 01:31 and how blessed and anointed is this book? 01:33 All of the 66 books of the Bible, 01:36 all 66 books from Genesis to Revelation 01:39 that compose the holy word of God 01:42 are inspired by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. 01:44 Amen. 01:46 But look at verse 7, the words are in red, who is speaking? 01:50 Jesus is speaking, 01:52 "Behold I am coming quickly! Blessed." 01:58 In light of the fact that His coming is imminent, 02:01 He is coming soon. 02:02 In light of that, "Blessed it is he who keeps 02:07 the words of the prophecy of this book?" 02:11 Can you say again with me? This book, this book. 02:14 Everybody say it, this book. 02:16 This book is to get us ready for the one who said, 02:21 "I am coming quickly." So this book is urgent. 02:25 This book is timely. 02:27 This book is relevant for our day 02:30 on the edge of eternity 02:32 and so the Bible makes it very clear 02:34 that in the last days, we can walk in special favor of God 02:39 during a set time called "the time of the end." 02:43 To borrow a phrase from Daniel 12:4, 02:46 "We're living in during the time called dubbed." 02:49 Daniel makes it clear the time of the end. 02:54 So, then the Antichrist's 02:56 and History's Greatest Religious Cover-Up 02:58 has everything to do with us understanding 03:02 what's going on now in the religious world. 03:07 I'm gonna go have tea, all right. 03:10 Do you know that background music affects 03:13 how many bites per minute you will take 03:15 and the total length of time 03:16 you will stay in your restaurant? 03:19 Did you know that? 03:21 Well, let me just give you the facts. 03:23 Dining with slow music on the average 14 minutes 03:29 you'll stay, 14 minutes longer in the restaurant 03:32 than individuals dining where fast music is playing. 03:35 So, if it's slow music you will stay in there longer 03:41 and you will actually eat slower 03:45 and less bites per minute. 03:49 So, if they are playing fast music 03:52 may be the message is please eat and leave, 03:54 so we will have room for others to serve. 03:58 Watch out for the background music too. 04:03 That's right. 04:04 Be careful if the music is too fast, 04:07 you'll eat fast, and eat more. 04:10 In other words you eat to the beat, 04:12 those are just the facts. 04:14 Well, we're not focusing on eating habits 04:17 and background music tonight. 04:19 But it is an illustration, because 04:22 it is about Worship Habits in the Christian church 04:26 and how the background of the antichrist, 04:30 so that background beat of the antichrist. 04:32 How many agree the antichrist is still pounding its drum. 04:36 And the antichrist, 04:40 how the background of the antichrist 04:41 is affecting most Christians today 04:43 without them being aware of it just as certain 04:46 as people are eating according to the beat 04:49 and are not aware of this. 04:50 So, wait a minute. 04:51 Let me ask this probing nagging question again. 04:54 Could it be that it is true 04:55 that the background of the antichrist 04:57 is affecting the worship behavior 04:59 of millions of lovely Christians 05:01 without them knowing it? 05:03 Is that a possibility? 05:05 It is true and it is outrageous in the extreme. 05:09 So do you know that you may be moving 05:11 to the beat of the antichrist while not knowing it. 05:16 I'm talking about the changes that the antichrist has made 05:19 to the Ten Commandments and how this is affecting 05:21 the worship and beliefs of love-- 05:25 of millions of lovely wonderful Christians today. 05:27 I'm talking about the changes there. 05:30 So, number one. 05:32 Has the antichrist done something to the law of God 05:37 that is affecting millions of good Christians 05:39 without them knowing it? 05:41 Has the antichrist tampered with heaven's constitution? 05:45 Has the antichrist been playing games 05:48 with the Ten Commandments? 05:50 Has the antichrist been chiseling out 05:54 the Ten Commandments? 05:55 Well, most are unaware of the background 05:59 of the antichrist and how it affects them today. 06:01 Now we will expose 06:03 the background of the antichrist. 06:06 Has the antichrist attacked the real Ark of the Covenant? 06:09 Remember, raiders of the lost ark. 06:12 How about raiders of the heavenly ark? 06:14 Has there been an attack on God's law. 06:17 Bible says in Daniel 8:12 that the antichrist dark exploits, 06:21 dark deeds would be to cast truth to the ground. 06:25 Would you agree that there is a lot of truth? 06:26 Jesus is the truth. 06:28 He is in heaven and everything you see Him 06:30 doing there in the heavenly sanctuary that's true 06:32 and it's been cast down to the ground. 06:34 So, where is the true Ark of the Covenant? 06:41 Where is the Ark? 06:42 Where is true Ark of the Covenant? 06:45 Hebrews 8:1, 2. 06:47 Let's go there and read this together 06:50 and we're gonna keep our foot on the accelerator tonight, 06:53 so fasten your seatbelts 06:55 and really stay perked up here tonight, okay? 06:58 Hebrews 8:1, 2. 07:01 "Now this is the main point of the things we're saying. 07:04 We have such a high Priest who is seated 07:06 at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens. 07:09 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true Tabernacle 07:14 which the Lord erected and not man." 07:17 So the Bible makes it very clear 07:19 that the earthly sanctuary was a miniature model 07:22 of the true one, the heavenly one. 07:25 So therefore, the high priest in heaven was foreshadowed. 07:31 His work was foreshadowed 07:33 by the earthly priest in the earthly sanctuary. 07:37 The earthly sanctuary had a holy place 07:40 and the most holy place, so it is in heaven. 07:44 There was the Ark of the Covenant 07:46 in the holy precincts of the most holy place 07:49 and so there is a Ark of the Covenant in heaven, 07:53 because the one on earth 07:55 was just a little miniature model of the one in heaven. 07:59 Are you with me thus far? 08:00 So therefore, where is Jesus now? 08:06 Revelation, Revelation 11. Let's go there very quickly. 08:10 Verse 19, "Then the temple of God was open in heaven 08:13 and the Ark of his Covenant was seen in his temple." 08:17 So therefore, where is Jesus now? 08:19 He is standing right there 08:22 in front of the Ark of the Covenant 08:25 at the right hand of God there at the throne of His grace. 08:28 The mercy seat is above the Ark of the Covenant, 08:32 the top part the lid of that, of that golden desk 08:36 with the two cherubims there 08:39 and here the presence of God is there 08:43 and Jesus is there interceding on our behalf 08:46 bleeding His blood right there at the mercy seat 08:49 that's known as the throne of grace. 08:51 Hebrews 4:14 to 16, 08:53 "We have to come boldly before his throne of grace." 08:56 Why? 08:57 Because we have a sympathizing high priest as our mediator, 09:00 our advocate, our intercessor. 09:02 And so the Bible makes it very clear 09:04 that John saw the temple of God open in heaven 09:10 and he saw this and God wants us to see what he saw. 09:14 And would you agree he was favored by these visions 09:18 and no wonder God says, "If you study these visions, 09:21 you'll be blessed just like John was 09:23 with understanding Bible prophecy." 09:26 And so, the temple of God was open in heaven 09:30 and there was seen the Ark of his what? 09:33 Of His Covenant. 09:35 Now, therefore Jesus stands at His mercy seat 09:39 to intercede for us. 09:40 Doesn't that give your heart encouragement tonight 09:43 knowing that He is right now interceding for you? 09:48 Isaiah 49:14 and 15 says, 09:51 the Lord says, "I will not forget you." 09:55 He says, "I have you on the palms of my hands." 09:59 Amen? 10:00 I am so glad, I know sometimes you're praying 10:03 and you don't seem to get answers to prayer right away 10:06 and God where are you? 10:07 And the Lord says, "I will not forget you." 10:11 Bible says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 10:15 Hebrews 13:5 and 6. 10:17 Would you agree, feelings can fool us at times. 10:20 Feeling are very misleading and deceptive. 10:22 You pray Lord forgive me and you don't feel forgiven. 10:26 Feelings have nothing to do with it. 10:28 You go by the word of God. Your feelings are like sand. 10:32 Your feelings are like a roller coaster at times. 10:35 Our faith is not dependent on your latest mood 10:38 or latest pulse of your emotions. 10:41 It's based on the rock of the word of God. 10:43 Can you say amen to that? Do you believe that? 10:45 And so listen. 10:47 Jesus stands by His Ten Commandments 10:51 in the heavenly sanctuary. 10:53 Did you hear that? 10:54 Do you recognize truth when you hear it? 10:56 We just read in the Bible that we can see in the temple 11:01 by the Ark of the Covenant, 11:02 and that's where the earthly priest went. 11:04 That's where our great high priest is. 11:06 Jesus has not changed His Ten Commandments. 11:10 He is standing by them. 11:12 Wow, the implications of that, the ramifications of that, 11:16 the truth that emanates from that. 11:18 And so if Jesus is standing by His Covenant, 11:22 has it been changed? 11:24 No, no, The Ten Commandment law has not changed, 11:29 been abrogated, or nullified, or done away with, or revised. 11:34 No, it comes down unchanged ever since it was given, 11:39 because the Ten Commandments that were placed 11:41 in that Ark of the Covenant on earth 11:44 that is the copy of the one that is in what? 11:50 In the heavenly sanctuary. 11:52 And so what is the standard in the judgment? 11:55 The Bible says that the first angel's message 11:57 or Revelation 14:6 and 7, 12:00 "That we're living in the hour of God's judgment." 12:04 "Judgment begins at the house of God." 12:06 1 Peter 4:17. 12:08 And so the Bible makes it clear before Jesus comes, 12:11 He will decide who is gonna be saved and who is gonna be lost. 12:15 And before He comes quickly, Revelation 22:11 and 12 says, 12:18 He says in verse 12, "I'm coming quickly 12:20 and I have my rewards with me." 12:22 And the verse before that says, "That before He comes, 12:25 He's gonna say, "that one's righteous 12:28 they're gonna be righteous still. 12:29 That one over there is filthy, let him be filthy still." 12:33 And then the Lord comes. 12:34 What would you call that process 12:36 in which he determines that one is safe, that one is not safe? 12:39 Judgment. 12:40 And would you agree, if it comes with his rewards 12:43 that necessitate Him judging, who gets what rewards? 12:47 Would you agree, that when He comes, 12:50 He is not gonna hang up in this, He is not gonna, 12:52 you know, be suspended in the air 12:55 and just wait there thinking, who do I come for? 12:57 Would you agree, when He comes, He knows who He is coming for? 13:01 Hence, there is a judgment before He comes. 13:03 Does this make sense? 13:04 And so the Bible makes it very clear 13:06 that there is a judgment. 13:07 This is not to be confused 13:09 with the great white throne judgment 13:11 that it's later when every knee shall bow 13:13 and every tongue confess including the devil himself. 13:16 All the righteous and unrighteous at that day 13:19 will kneel down and the sheep and the goats to be separated 13:23 and so forth, that's later. 13:25 But there is a judgment right now going on 13:29 in the church who is gonna be saved, who is gonna be lost. 13:31 In Revelation 3, it's described in this way, 13:35 the Lord says to his church, Laodicea, the term Laodicea, 13:38 the Seventh Church that is representation of God's people 13:42 in the last days of earth's history. 13:44 The term Laodicea literally means ones who are judged. 13:48 Judgment begins at the house of God, 13:49 1 Peter 4:17. 13:51 So the Bible makes it very clear, 13:53 Jesus says, "If you remain lukewarm, 13:56 I'm gonna spit you out of my mouth." 13:58 Well if He's our intercessor, 14:00 what's coming out of His mouth right now? 14:02 Our prayers. What else? 14:05 What the Bible says, "If you confess me before men, 14:09 I'll confess you before my father." 14:11 Matthew 10:32. 14:15 So the Bible makes it very clear. 14:17 If he spits you out of his mouth, 14:19 He no longer intercedes for you. 14:23 And you would be lost and bloated out of book of life. 14:25 What would you call that? Judgment. 14:27 But the Bible says if we repent and we get our first love back 14:31 and we get fired up for Jesus Christ, 14:33 would you agree people lukewarm are not going to heaven? 14:36 You don't go to heaven liking Jesus, 14:38 you don't go to heaven, 'cause you're good person. 14:40 Even Nicodemus was told, you got to be born again. 14:45 Amen. He was a good man. 14:46 He was going to church, but he was told 14:48 you got to be born again. 14:50 You got to have the baptism of fire, 14:52 that's what Jesus said. 14:53 You got to go to heaven in love with Jesus. 14:55 How many agree when you're in love, 14:58 you know you're in love. 14:59 Now your feelings aren't always what you would wish 15:02 they would be, but you know that you know. 15:04 This is life eternal that they might know 15:06 the only true God. 15:08 That's in Jesus Christ whom he has sent, John 17:3. 15:12 So Revelation 3:14-21 makes it clear, 15:15 the Laodicean message is, "In the last days 15:18 if you remain lukewarm, I'll spit you out of my mouth." 15:21 So there is a judgment. 15:23 So the question is, 15:24 what is the standard in that judgment? 15:26 You know, if you gonna have a court, 15:28 you know in the laws of the land, 15:30 you got to have a law by which you're judged. 15:34 And so what is the standard in the judgment? 15:37 James 2:12, "So speak and so do as those 15:40 who will be judged by the law of liberty." 15:43 "We are not saved by the law, 15:45 we are saved by grace through faith." 15:47 Ephesians 2:8 and 9. 15:49 We do not earn salvation, it's a free gift." 15:52 Ephesians 2:8 makes that clear. 15:54 Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death, 15:57 but the free gift of God is eternal life 16:00 through Jesus Christ, our Lord." 16:02 So salvation is a gift. 16:04 We are saved by grace, 16:05 but faith without works is dead. 16:10 James 2:26, "By their fruits you shall know them." 16:15 And so Matthew 7:20, so listen carefully, 16:19 the Bible makes it very clear, 16:21 that we are not saved by the law, 16:24 would you agree, obedience of the law, that's the fruit. 16:28 Amen, that's the fruit. 16:31 Obedience is the fruit of faith. 16:34 Can you say amen? 16:35 And one word that sums up true obedience is love. 16:39 Amen? It's all about love. 16:42 Now listen carefully. 16:44 The law of God is the standard by which we are judged. 16:50 No one can keep that law on their own strength. 16:55 Jesus said, "Without me you can do nothing." 16:56 John 15:5. 16:58 But the Bible also says, you cannot be saved 17:01 while you knowingly, willfully, deliberately 17:05 are trampling on the law of God. 17:06 Would you agree? You don't go to heaven holding on to sin. 17:08 You go to heaven because he has saved you 17:11 from any known sin. 17:12 Would you agree? 17:14 You ought to go to bed tonight 17:15 knowing there is no sin on your heart. 17:17 Amen? 17:18 I mean if you don't know that you need to, 17:20 Paul said "I follow God with a clear conscience." 17:24 That is to say, but he never claimed to be perfect. 17:27 He claimed that he needed to confess his sins daily, 17:29 right? 17:31 Every day we confess our sins, they are forgiven, 17:33 our heart is right with God. 17:34 Amen? Does that make sense? 17:36 So remember Jesus said to the woman 17:37 caught in the act of adultery, "I don't condemn you." 17:40 It's forgiveness. 17:42 "Now go leave your life of sin." 17:43 That's obedience. Amen. 17:45 How many agree, we are saved to obey. 17:49 Trust and obey, there is no other way 17:52 to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 17:55 If you're going through a personal crisis in your life, 17:58 if you're facing financial challenges, 18:00 if you're suffering from a health problem, 18:03 if your marriage is needing a miracle, 18:05 if you have a special concern for your children, 18:07 whatever your need may be, give us a call, 18:10 and we will pray with you. 18:11 For your prayer requests, call us at 1-855-336-free. 18:16 "If the Son set you free, you're free indeed." 18:20 John 8:36. 18:28 So how is our love defined? 18:34 Listen carefully, listen carefully. 18:37 Make this very simple. 18:39 If a person says, "I love the Lord," 18:41 Jesus said, "If you love Me, obey me. 18:45 If you love Me, keep My Commandments." 18:47 John 14:50. 18:48 We don't do that in our own strength, 18:50 we need the help of the Holy Spirit. 18:52 But notice this, you cannot be saved while saying, 18:56 "I love the Lord, 18:57 but I'm knowingly breaking one those commandments." 19:00 "Thou shall call his name Jesus for He shall save his people 19:04 from their sin, from their sin." 19:08 He told the woman caught in the act of adultery, 19:10 "Now go leave your life of sin." 19:12 "Sin is the transgression of the law of God." 19:15 1 John 3:4. 19:16 So Jesus comes to save us from our sin, Mathew 12:1. 19:21 So the standard in the judgment is the Ten Commandment law, 19:26 and Jesus stands there by His Ark of the Covenant 19:31 and Ten Commandments. 19:33 We are under grace, that's the mercy, 19:36 but what's underneath that mercy? 19:38 The beautiful covenant. 19:40 Would you agree, there is nothing. 19:41 The Bible says the law of God is perfect. 19:43 You don't look out and say, "Oh, that's horrible." 19:45 It's beautiful, you just can't keep it in your own strength. 19:48 Would you agree the law of God is a mirror? 19:51 It points out anything that you need to change 19:54 in order to be in harmony with the law of God, 19:56 and Jesus is our righteousness. 19:58 So that as we're forgiven for breaking the law 20:02 and empowered to obey the law, we are in harmony with God, 20:07 amen. 20:09 And so we continue. 20:12 If the standard in the judgment is the Law of God, 20:16 has it been changed? 20:17 No. What is New Covenant? 20:19 Hebrews 8:10 says, 20:22 "I will write the law in their hearts and minds." 20:27 Amen. Amen. It's in the heart. 20:31 So which Commandment 20:33 is a reminder of God's creative power 20:37 and a sign of the loving covenant? 20:40 Would you agree we are married to Jesus 20:43 and we are involved in His covenant? 20:46 We're in covenant relationship with Him. 20:48 "Moreover I also gave them my Sabbaths 20:51 to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know 20:54 that I am the Lord who sanctifies them." 20:56 Ezekiel 20:12. It is a special sign. 20:59 It's more than a day. More than a day. 21:02 The Sabbath is a sign or reminder 21:05 of the power of Christ to sanctify us, 21:08 that is make us holy, that it deliver us from sin. 21:11 The Sabbath is a sign, look what I can do. 21:15 Look what I can do. 21:17 How many agree, God is working miracles in your life. 21:21 The Bible says, "He works in us both to will 21:25 and to do of his good pleasure." 21:26 Philippians 2:13. He's working, working. 21:29 Some of us make Him work overtime, 21:31 but anyway He is working, amen? 21:33 So we are under construction. 21:34 So the Sabbath is a sign, 21:36 a reminder of the power of Christ to save us from sin. 21:39 The Sabbath reminds us. 21:41 After all the Sabbath word, Sabbath is all about rest. 21:45 The word Sabbath literally means rest. 21:48 Would you agree, none of us can truly find rest 21:52 except in Christ? 21:54 Jesus said, "Come to me all you who are burdened..." 21:57 Can I add stressed out? "And I will give you rest." 22:04 That's a wonderful promise 22:05 you might want to go to the heavenly banquet. 22:08 Mathew 11:20. 22:10 And so the Bible makes it very clear 22:12 that if Jesus gives us rest, 22:15 you really can't keep the Sabbath 22:16 unless you first come to Jesus, 22:19 then you can really enjoy the Sabbath, 22:21 because would you agree, the Sabbath is more than, 22:23 "oh, I don't have to work today." 22:24 How many agree, you can be off work 22:26 and still be stressed out. 22:29 You need Jesus. Amen? It's more than just a day off. 22:32 Amen. And so listen, listen. Jesus alone can make us holy. 22:40 You and I can't change our heart. 22:42 You and I can't make ourselves right with God. 22:46 Jesus is already done that and we can't make, 22:49 He says what does He say, "I will give you a new heart." 22:53 Ezekiel 36:26. 22:55 He promises to give us a new heart 22:57 and Jesus alone can make us holy 22:59 and the Sabbath is a sign that He can make us holy. 23:03 So it's a sign of what He does to save us 23:06 from sin, self and Satan. 23:08 Can you say amen? 23:10 Jesus alone can change our hearts. 23:13 That's why looking unto Jesus, 23:15 the author and finisher of our faith." 23:16 Hebrews 12:2. 23:18 The Sabbath is a sign, a drastic one, 23:23 powerful one of the covenant. 23:25 How beautiful it is, no wonder the devil hates it. 23:29 So who is the antichrist and has the antichrist 23:32 attacked the Ten Commandments and the Sabbath, 23:35 because it's all about the covenant, 23:36 it's all about the rest, it's all about joy in the Lord. 23:40 Oh, yeah. 23:42 Is there an intriguing, suspicious, 23:43 and surprising connection 23:45 between the Antichrist and the Ten Commandments? 23:49 Now let us do a background check 23:51 on the Antichrist. 23:52 The antichrist was clearly and correctly identified 23:55 by all the Protestant Reformers down through the centuries. 23:58 Mark Luther, Tindal, Huss, John Huss, 24:03 the Wesley Brothers, Knox, Tindal, even King James himself 24:08 and you know, you've heard of the King James Version, 24:11 King James himself. 24:12 They all believed categorically, 24:14 unequivocally, unabashedly, 24:16 that the antichrist was the papal power. 24:21 I will tell you this that God has loving Christians 24:25 I believe in all churches. 24:27 But that doesn't mean that everything out there 24:30 is correct. 24:32 And so this is not to judge people 24:35 that our lovely Christians, but rather talking 24:38 about some things that are being taught as truth 24:42 that are really not. 24:43 And so think about it with me. 24:47 In Daniel Chapter 2, we had a rise 24:52 and fall of four world empires, Babylon, Medo-Persia, 24:54 Greece and Rome with the four metals. 24:58 Then the break up of the Roman Empire 24:59 represented by the 10 toes and that would be Europe. 25:04 And of course now there is more than 10 divisions. 25:06 Then in Daniel 7, we had four beasts, 25:12 four beasts which represents kingdoms 25:14 according to Daniel 7:17 and 23. 25:20 The Bible says a beast represents a kingdom. 25:23 So this isn't my opinion, 25:25 that's what the Book of Daniel says. 25:27 Remember if it's in the Bible we want it, 25:28 if it's not in the Bible we don't want it. 25:31 That's our motto. 25:32 So here we have four strange beasts 25:34 arising from the tumultuous waters. 25:37 That's Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. 25:39 And then the fourth creature has 10 horns that would 25:43 represent the break up of the Roman Empire as well. 25:46 You see the correspondence between the two here 25:48 and so think about it. 25:51 In this panorama prophetic vision 25:53 we see some intriguing symbols. 25:54 We need to carefully prayerfully 25:56 decode the symbolic language. 25:58 Here we have the dramatic rise and fall 26:00 of the four successive world empires 26:03 Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome 26:05 and then the 10 divisions of Rome. 26:08 Now these 10 original tribes or kingdoms 26:12 find their modern counterparts 26:13 in the modern nations of Europe today 26:15 with the exception of three. 26:17 So you have Alamanni, Franks, Saxons, Visigoths, 26:20 Burgundians, Lombards, Suvi, Germans, French, English, 26:24 Spanish, Swiss, Italians and Portuguese 26:28 and three Heruli, Vandals and Ostrogoths 26:30 were uprooted as the antichrist was rising to prominence. 26:35 Now in Daniel 7, you remember we had an entire presentation 26:39 dealing with the antichrist, and you remember it 26:43 all the clues came from Daniel 7. 26:46 It's all right there in Daniel 7. 26:49 So, you can remember. Everybody say Daniel 7. 26:51 So you can go there and check it out. 26:53 Well, let me just go through nine prophetic clues 26:56 from Daniel 7, and let see if the Protestant Reformers 27:01 were right that the antichrist is the papacy. 27:04 All roads leading to papal, Rome. 27:08 Well, it's a fact of history, background history 27:13 that when Constantine relocated his capital seat from Rome, 27:17 prestigious Rome to Byzantium 27:20 and rename Byzantium Constantinople 27:25 who filled I should say the political vacuum 27:28 that he had left there in the capital of Rome, 27:31 the former capital. 27:33 Who filled the political vacuum? 27:35 The Bishop of Rome. 27:37 And so Rome would continue to be popular 27:41 not as a political capital but as a religious capital. 27:45 Well, number one, 27:46 this little horn power would represent the antichrist. 27:49 This little horn power arose out of the fourth beast, 27:51 pagan Rome, right? 27:53 So it's a Roman power. 27:55 We're identifying the antichrist 27:56 and seeing if indeed the papacy meets 27:59 all of the prophetic Biblical specification 28:02 of Daniel Chapter 7. 28:04 So number two, it arose among the 10 horns, 28:08 that is the ten divisions of Rome. 28:10 That is it would arise from Europe 28:13 the 10 divisions of Rome. 28:16 Number three, it would arise after the 10 horns, 28:19 after the break-up of the Rome empire 28:21 historian say 476 AD marks the collapse, 28:25 although it was gradual of the pagan Roman empire 28:28 dividing up of Rome. 28:29 So it would arise to prominence in the fifth century. 28:34 So talk about the background music 28:36 no, no, no we're talking about the background history 28:39 and has there been a cover-up? 28:44 Number four, different from the other horns. 28:47 This one would be religious and political. 28:49 Number five, a look more stout than this fellows. 28:52 It would dominate Europe. 28:53 Number six, it uproots three kingdoms, 28:55 Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths. 28:58 Number seven, spoke great words against the most high, 29:01 blasphemy. 29:03 Claims to forgive sin, claims Mother Mary is a Mediatrix 29:06 and hears prayers of the saints etcetera, etcetera. 29:11 Blasphemy being claiming the rights or purgatives 29:14 or titles that belong to God alone. 29:16 So "spoke great words against the Most High." 29:19 Has the papacy done this, I share of this in love. 29:23 They teach Penance, Purgatory, Mary as an intercessor, 29:26 Confession to Priests, Enforced Celibacy, 29:29 Image worship, Changed the Ten Commandments, 29:32 Infallibility of the Pope, Sprinkling 29:34 instead of immersion by baptism and the list can go 29:37 on and on and on of all sorts of false teaching. 29:42 Number eight, wore out the saints of the Most High. 29:45 That is it's a persecuting power. 29:47 The papacy has a wretched past of the Dark Ages 29:50 in which 50 million people, it is estimated by historians 29:55 perish during the Dark Ages because of the antichrist. 29:59 So inescapable conclusion, the undeniable evidence 30:05 all point to Papal Rome. 30:09 That's right, it's irrefutable. 30:11 The Book of Daniel depicts a strange little talking horn. 30:14 Can you imagine? Is Truth stranger than fiction? 30:19 A little talking horn that would actually talk 30:21 and say things that are false and would persecute 30:24 those who disagreed with it. 30:26 This is none other than the antichrist. 30:29 The overwhelming clinching evidence 30:31 and predominate characteristic of the antichrist 30:33 in Daniel Chapter 7, I repeat point unerringly 30:38 to the Roman Papal Power. 30:41 All right, so here is question number eight. 30:43 Are you here with me thus far? All right, you with me? 30:45 Here we go. Number eight. 30:48 What has the Roman Papal system done to the Ten Commandments? 30:53 What has it done? Number nine, clue number nine. 30:58 Thought to change times and laws. 31:01 It would modify the Ten Commandments. 31:05 It's talking here about the laws of the Most High, 31:08 the Ten Commandments. 31:09 And it would think to what? Change. 31:13 Give me another synonym here. 31:15 Now get out your thesaurus, 31:17 that's one of my favorite books 31:18 by the way is a thesaurus. 31:20 All right, think about it. 31:22 You've got changing or revising, 31:26 modifying, altering, substituting, 31:29 all right that's enough synonyms there, all right. 31:31 Think to change or alter times and laws. 31:37 So I want you to think about this. 31:40 That means that antichrist would promulgate and propagate 31:46 counterfeit version of the Ten Commandments. 31:49 And millions of Christians would subscribe 31:54 not knowing if there was anything wrong. 31:58 Beware of the background cover-up. 32:03 So then who is the antichrist acting 32:07 as if they are when they change the very Law of God? 32:12 Would you agree, some things are holy? 32:16 The Ten Commandments are holy. Word of God is holy. 32:20 The man of sin is revealed, so that he sits 32:22 in the temple of God in the Christian community, 32:25 showing him that he is God, but he is not. 32:29 But would you agree messing with the Ten Commandments. 32:31 You know, in Texas we say, "Don't mess with Texas." 32:34 Forget that, don't mess with the Ten Commandments, right? 32:37 And so that's 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and 4. 32:41 Number nine. Who changed the Sabbath? 32:45 Now I'm here to tell you 32:46 if you look in a Convert's Catechism 32:49 of Catholic Doctrine. 32:51 By the way, if you do not have one in your-- 32:53 These things are new to you. 32:55 Afterwards you just see us and we'll be glad to place 32:58 one of these copies in your hands, 33:01 so you can see it for yourself free of charge. 33:05 This is the Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine. 33:08 Keep in mind, there will be many Catholics in heaven, 33:11 there will be many Protestants in heaven. 33:13 There will be many Catholics and Protestants 33:15 that are not in heaven. 33:16 You know what? I'm not the judge, God is the judge. 33:19 But we must judge what is taught 33:21 and then we must share it and leave people with God. 33:24 Can you say amen? 33:25 And so in the Convert's Catechism, 33:27 you will discover 33:29 that they have done three things 33:31 to the Ten Commandments that are unlawful, forbidden. 33:36 Number one, they have deleted the Second Commandment 33:40 that in which God prohibits making images 33:43 and bowing down to them. 33:45 That's why you have proliferation of images 33:49 that are just laid in the churches. 33:55 To countenance that they just make people 33:57 more comfortable they have just dropped 33:59 or deleted the Second Commandment. 34:01 Well, that didn't look too good, 34:03 ten minus one equals nine. 34:06 People know you got 10 fingers, 10 toes, right? 34:09 All right, so what did they do? 34:12 They invented something else. They hatched this one. 34:17 They split the Tenth Commandment 34:19 that has to do with do not covet. 34:21 They probably thought that's a little lengthy 34:23 and conveniently compromisingly divide it, 34:27 split it. 34:29 So those are two changes, 34:30 so in another words ten minus one equals ten 34:33 according to their math. 34:36 Third change. They changed the Sabbath. 34:40 Would you agree they were on a roll? 34:43 You shouldn't be surprised if they drop one 34:45 and split another one. 34:47 Don't be surprised if they would change the one 34:49 that has to do with time. 34:51 Think to change times and laws. You don't believe me. 34:54 Come on, you can get a copy of this afterwards. 34:57 Not only that, 34:58 the Bible predicted it, follow with me. 35:00 You say, "Mark, you're blowing my mind." 35:03 All right, just hang in there. 35:04 Don't believe anything unless you see it in the Bible 35:07 and in your history books. 35:08 Don't believe anything Mark Fox says, 35:10 unless you see it substantiated. 35:12 I'll leave you with God. 35:15 So who changed the Sabbath? Who changed it? 35:19 Daniel 7:25 is the startling prediction. 35:25 "Think to change times and laws". 35:27 Now, that is a mind blower. 35:30 There's some power, some religious institution 35:34 would actually arise and have the presumption 35:37 and the audacity and the extreme 35:40 to mess with God's Ten Commandments. 35:45 What is the only Commandment 35:46 that has anything to do with time, 35:48 think to change times and laws. 35:51 There is only one, the fourth about the seventh day Sabbath. 35:57 "Remember the Sabbath day, time, 36:01 to keep it holy and not work on that day," God says. 36:05 As you can read that entirety of it. Exodus 20:8. 36:09 So therefore are you ready for history's background cover-up? 36:16 Antichrist and history's greatest religious cover-up? 36:20 Are you ready for history's best kept secret? 36:23 Now as Paul Harvey would say, "The rest of the story." 36:29 Three changes. 36:30 By the way Paul Harvey was also a Sabbath keeper 36:33 just to let you know that. 36:34 Three changes, he was aware of these things. 36:40 Number one, deleted the second Commandment. 36:42 Number two, made the Tenth Commandment two. 36:44 Number three, changed the Sabbath 36:45 from Saturday to Sunday. 36:47 Now, I'm just gonna blurt this out right way. 36:49 If I want to go church on Sunday I can do it. 36:53 If I want to go to church Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 36:55 hey how many times a week 36:57 are we coming to these meetings. 37:00 Going to church on a particular day 37:03 however does not make it holy. 37:08 Sudden changes are about to catch the world by surprise. 37:11 Amazing Bible prophecies are fast fulfilling. 37:15 Do ancient prophecies predict the sudden economic collapse? 37:19 Will the Middle East crisis erupt into World War III? 37:22 Are we living on the eve of Armageddon? 37:25 How will the final moves of the antichrist affect you? 37:28 What is the future of the United States of America? 37:31 How will natural disasters usher in the mark of the beast? 37:35 Now you can watch the entire Amazing Prophecy series 37:39 of 32 hope filled messages on DVD. 37:43 Don't guess about the future, know the future. 37:46 The complete set of DVDs 37:48 is available for a gift of $60 or more. 37:52 Call us at 1-855-336-FREE 37:56 or you can send a check or money order 37:58 to Forever Free Ministries, 37:59 2001 Munro Park, Corinth, Texas, 76208. 38:04 You can also visit us online at foreverfreeministries.org. 38:12 Sometimes people tell me, why keep everyday holy? 38:15 No you don't, you're God's holy people, 38:18 but the definition of keeping a day holy 38:20 in the Bible is you don't work on the day 38:23 and most of us have to work for a living. 38:27 But I understand what people are saying, 38:29 what they are saying is, "I am holy on to the Lord every day, 38:31 I seek to live for the Lord every day." 38:32 And I say amen, me too. 38:34 That doesn't make that day the holy day, 38:37 the Lord's day. 38:39 And so think about it. 38:41 Daniel predicted the change, didn't he? 38:45 The church admits the change as I'll read in a moment. 38:50 History reveals the change. Check it out. 38:55 And the Bible condemns the change, 38:58 I don't accept the change, but I expose the change. 39:04 So does the papacy, number ten, make it clear 39:06 that they changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? 39:11 Here is a candid admission, there is Convert's Catechism. 39:18 I'm reading. 39:20 "Which question, which is the Sabbath day? 39:22 Answer, Saturday is the Sabbath day. 39:26 Question, Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? 39:31 Answer, we observe Sunday instead of Saturday, 39:35 because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea." 39:39 Here's some background stuff people aren't aware of, 39:43 that's influencing people today. 39:45 "Because the Catholic Church, 39:47 in the Council of Laodicea A.D. 336, 4th century, 39:52 transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." 39:58 That's taken from the Convert's Catechism 40:00 of Catholic Doctrine, 1957 edition. 40:03 Are you ready for another admission 40:06 from the Roman Papal power? 40:09 This is the late James Cardinal Gibbons. 40:13 Listen to this one. 40:16 "You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, 40:20 you will not find a single line 40:23 authorizing the sanctification of Sunday." 40:27 He continues, "The Scriptures enforce 40:30 the religious observance of Saturday." 40:36 James Cardinal Gibbons in the book 40:38 "The Faith of our Father" page 89. Number 11. 40:42 Are majority wrong about the seventh-day Sabbath? 40:47 Well, you be the judge of that. 40:49 Nine out of ten in school, when my kids come home 40:55 and they got nine out of ten, that's an "A" 40:58 but nine out of ten of the Commandments, 41:02 because if you break one you break them all that's an "F". 41:08 Nine out of ten, 41:09 most agree with nine of the Ten Commandments. 41:12 Hands down, you say where are the Ten Commandments? 41:14 Remember, we had the pastor's daughter, 41:17 10 year old daughter, she read up here, 41:21 so graciously read the Ten Commandments 41:23 they're very, very clear a child can understand them. 41:27 We hang them up on the wall in our house. 41:30 They're plain, they're simple, they're uncomplicated 41:33 and they're not multiple choice, 41:36 they are not complicated. 41:39 And so most agree with nine of the Ten Commandments. 41:42 I mean, if I was just, 41:44 I mean I don't care who the protestor is, 41:46 who the person is with their arguments, 41:48 I say let's read the Ten Commandments 41:50 and you tell me, come on, let's do a check list here, 41:53 check which ones you agree with. 41:57 Hands down, most will go ahead and agree or check 42:02 nine out of the Ten. 42:04 Guess which one they stumble over? 42:06 Sometimes the majority are also flat wrong. 42:11 Ask Christopher Columbus. 42:15 They said the world is flat and they were flat wrong. 42:18 All right, let's go on. 42:20 And, you know, sometimes the experts are stumped 42:23 and categorically wrong. 42:27 Half of Alzheimer's cases are misdiagnosed. 42:32 February 23, 2011 news, 42:37 majority are wrong about the Ten Commandants and Worship. 42:40 They're not aware of what's been influencing them, 42:42 the background noise of the antichrist. 42:46 Survey from CNS-2007, more Americans knows 42:50 Big Mac ingredients than Ten Commandments. 42:56 That's right, may be we shouldn't laugh at that, 42:58 it's astounding. 43:00 And guess what, the two least remembered Commandments are 43:02 according to CNS in 2007, 43:04 the Sabbath and have no other gods besides God. 43:09 Friends, we should not be 43:10 illiterate about the Ten Commandments. 43:13 Number 12. 43:14 How does the Book of Revelation 43:16 picture the urgent message 43:17 of the seventh-day Sabbath in the last days? 43:20 The Book of Revelation for our day 43:23 in the heart of the book, the centre of the book, 43:26 pictures three angels doing a fly over planet earth 43:30 and they are yelling out with loud voices. 43:33 Now when my wife at home raises her voice 43:37 and instead of calling me honey, 43:38 she says, Mark, "I know okay, what did I do?" 43:44 She's trying to get my attention, 43:45 I forgot to take out the garbage. 43:47 But in this case when God is trying to get her attention 43:51 and of course she does that in love I must insert. 43:55 When God pictures His last call, 43:59 His last messages of mercy 44:02 expands the globe before He comes 44:04 as He pictures them, 44:07 angels yelling out with loud voices, 44:09 you know underscore, 44:11 bold relief, exclamation mark, it's urgent. 44:15 You cannot say, ho-hum, 44:17 you can't say that's trivial pursuit 44:20 or that's extracurricular prophecy, 44:23 this is urgent, this is compelling, 44:26 God is calling man and woman 44:29 who've been imbibing evolution theory 44:31 to come back to keeping the Seventh day Sabbath 44:35 that is a poignant, beautiful remainder, 44:38 where you came from? 44:39 You better get it straight, where you came from, 44:41 so you know where you're going. Can you say amen? 44:45 So what urgent message is preached 44:47 in all the world before Jesus comes? 44:49 Go there very quickly with me. Revelation Chapter 14. 44:53 Are we learning something tonight? 44:54 Please say, amen. 44:56 Revelation 14:6, 44:58 "Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, 45:00 having the everlasting gospel." 45:02 The good news. 45:03 "To preach to those who dwell on the earth, 45:04 to every nation, tribe, tongue and people 45:06 saying with a loud voice, fear God and give glory to Him 45:10 for the hour of His judgment has come..." 45:12 All right, downshift, 45:15 "And worship him who made heaven and earth, 45:19 and the sea, and the springs of waters." 45:21 There's a clarion call from heaven's throne room 45:23 that comes down the quarters of the time 45:25 ringing louder than ever, 45:27 come back to worshiping the way the creator specified. 45:34 The way the creator commends us to worship. 45:37 Now that is multifaceted. 45:40 We come together, we sing songs to God, 45:44 we bring offerings, we come together in the name of Jesus, 45:48 we are worshiping Him. 45:50 Our whole life should be worshipping of our Creator. 45:55 Keeping of the Commandments of God 45:57 is also an expression of worship to God. 46:03 So obedience is a form of worship. 46:07 Prayer is a form of worship, 46:09 but your prayers don't get very high 46:13 if you knowingly trampling, 46:15 if you know better trampling on the law. 46:17 "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, 46:19 even his prayer is an abomination." 46:21 According to Proverbs 28:9. 46:23 Kind of makes me want to make sure, 46:24 Lord new covenant, write the law in my heart, 46:27 so I can worship you both in spirit and in truth. 46:30 Amen? John Chapter 4. 46:31 So I want you to notice your beloved. 46:33 The everlasting gospel declares, 46:35 comeback this is the Gospel, the one who died for you, 46:38 made you, worship the one who died for you and created you. 46:43 Creation and the cross that has everything to do 46:46 with the impetus behind your worship. 46:48 Can you say amen? 46:49 So number 13. Who is the creator? 46:53 Who is the creator? 46:56 God who created all things through Jesus, 47:01 through Christ Jesus, through Jesus Christ. 47:05 You know what that means? 47:06 That exalts the cross higher than ever before. 47:09 The cross is gonna be championed 47:11 and proclaimed greater, more powerfully 47:14 than ever before in the last days. 47:16 And you know what, helps it to really, really go 47:19 more powerfully than ever is when you understand creation 47:25 and you understand who your Creator is. 47:28 He who made you, creator on a tree. 47:35 He made that tree. 47:39 "God who created all things through Jesus Christ." 47:41 Ephesians 3:9. 47:43 So worship Jesus as your creator. 47:45 Guess who gave you the Sabbath? Jesus, Jesus. 47:50 Guess who gave you the Ten Commandments? 47:52 Jesus. 47:53 I wish I had time to make an excursion 47:55 or whatever the kids say, a race against the clock. 47:57 But let me tell you this, the Bible makes it very clear, 47:59 Jesus Christ gave us the Commandments. 48:03 There is a couple of things 48:04 He wrote with His finger, remember? 48:06 Woman caught in the act of adultery wrote down sins 48:09 which is breaking the law 48:11 and he was the one who gave the law. 48:18 So which, number 14, 48:19 which of the Ten Commandments is referred to in verse 7? 48:23 I believe it's hinting to, I believe it's hinting to, 48:29 I believe it's reminiscent of the fourth Commandment 48:32 that specifies worship the creator, 48:36 worship the creator. 48:37 And the seventh day is part of that. 48:39 "Worship Him who made heaven and earth, 48:41 the sea and springs of water." 48:42 Revelation 14:7. There is a call to coming back. 48:46 Could it be to a secularized, materialized, 48:50 entertainment saturated and information, 48:52 overloaded generation, 48:54 our Creator is calling us to Worship Him 48:56 more fully in the last days? 48:57 Is that possible? 48:59 Would you agree, we need this full day with our Creator 49:03 and Redeemer more than any other previous generations? 49:07 Would you agree, 49:09 we need this whole day with God? 49:16 God knew that most of mankind would forget 49:19 to keep the Sabbath day even though 49:21 it begins with the word remember. 49:24 How many have ever forgotten something important? 49:28 So what miracle 49:29 does the seventh-day Sabbath commemorate? 49:32 Genesis 2:1-3, let's go there very quickly. 49:35 Genesis 2, all right, Genesis 2. 49:39 All right, let's go there very quickly. 49:41 "Thus, the heavens and the earth 49:42 and all the host of them were finished. 49:44 And on the seventh day God ended His work 49:46 which He had done and He rested on the seventh day 49:48 from all His work which He had done. 49:50 Then God blessed the seventh day 49:52 and sanctified it, because in it He made, 49:56 He rested from all His work which God created and made." 49:59 I want you to notice. 50:01 What three things, number 16, did God do to the seventh day? 50:05 He blessed it, He rested upon it 50:07 and He made it holy. 50:08 You can't make a day holy, but God already did. 50:12 And so God told Adam and Eve to rest together 50:15 with the creator on the seventh day. 50:18 The first seven is in creation, the creation week. 50:23 Number 17, what is purpose of the weekly cycle? 50:28 Would you agree there is a divine purpose? 50:30 Why did He give us the week? 50:32 The purpose of the weekly cycle is to remind us 50:36 where we came from. 50:38 We were planted in this framework of time 50:41 by our creator as a constant reminder 50:44 in that rhythm of time, where we came from. 50:48 Now watch this. 50:50 Our weekly cycle came from the first week of creation 50:53 and God saved the best for last. 50:55 That's the way God is, He saves the best for last. 50:59 Our life revolves around the weekly cycle. 51:02 Each day ascends closer to the seventh day, 51:07 like climbing the mountain, 51:08 the seventh day being the mountain top 51:10 and that's momentum, right? 51:13 Just the very way that God created us 51:15 with momentum of creation, so there's momentum. 51:20 God never called any other day the Sabbath 51:22 except the seventh day. 51:25 During the week, anticipation. 51:28 Everybody say anticipation. 51:32 On the Sabbath, reflection. 51:37 Oh, my good friend Dr. Neal Medley, 51:41 I planned to get the book and read it. 51:43 It's a little pricy, but I recommend it. 51:46 It's called "The Lost Art of Thinking." 51:49 What an appropriate book 51:51 for my good friend Dr. Neal Medley to write. 51:54 Get it "The Lost Art of Thinking." 51:57 Brothers and sisters, 51:59 we have attention deficit disorder generation 52:02 we're talking about here, 52:03 and we need the Sabbath for time to think. 52:10 Time to sit down 52:13 and just think and reflect. 52:20 Number 18. Who does the Sabbath belong to? 52:24 Who does the Sabbath belong to? 52:26 Listen to what Jesus says, 52:29 "Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath." 52:33 Mark 2:28. 52:34 If Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath then whose day is it? 52:36 The Lord's Day. 52:38 "The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath day." 52:40 Matthew 12:8. 52:41 Number 19. Is the Lord's day still holy? 52:44 "I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day." 52:47 Revelation 1:10. Number 20. 52:49 Did Jesus ever change the Sabbath? 52:52 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or Prophets. 52:55 I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." 52:57 Matthew 5:17. 52:59 So, therefore number 21, what did Jesus say about 53:02 just breaking one of the Ten Commandments? 53:05 The next couple of verses there, 53:07 "For assuredly, I say to you, 53:08 till heaven and earth pass away, 53:10 one jot or one title will by no means pass 53:12 from the law till all is fulfilled. 53:14 Whoever therefore breaks 53:16 one of the least of these commandments, 53:18 including the Sabbath or any of them, 53:20 and teaches men so, shall be called least 53:22 in the kingdom of heaven." 53:23 That's what Jesus said, 53:25 "So therefore whoever does and teaches them, 53:28 that what we want to do, 53:30 he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." 53:32 Matthew 5:17-19. 53:34 Number 22. 53:36 Did Jesus except the disciples to keep the Sabbath 53:39 after He was raisen again? 53:41 "Pray that your flight may not be in winter 53:44 or on the Sabbath." 53:45 Matthew 24:20. 53:46 Now Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D., 53:49 so Jesus told His followers to pray 53:52 about keeping the Sabbath after He ascended to heaven, 53:55 therefore should you also pray about keeping the Sabbath holy? 54:01 Amen. It's very clear. 54:03 Number 23. Which day is the Sabbath? 54:07 Well, there was a survey done while back. 54:09 Which day is the Sabbath? 54:11 According to a web based poll, WorldNet Daily, 54:14 24 % said, "Sabbath that's Sunday," 54:17 17% said, "No that's Saturday," 54:20 8% said, "Can't be sure," 6% said, "Any day you choose," 54:25 5 % almost 6% there "No Christian's Sabbath. 54:29 Then, 1.4% said, "It's irrelevant." 54:32 Would you agree there's a whole lot of confusion going on? 54:35 I say let's go to the Bible. 54:37 Let's go to the Bible. 54:39 Can we really be sure which day is the Seventh day? 54:43 Can we be sure? 54:44 Hasn't the calendar been changed? 54:45 Has the weekly cycle ever been changed? 54:49 No, never. 54:51 Webster's dictionary says 54:53 Saturday is the seventh day of the week. 54:56 Encyclopedia says the same thing. 54:58 Has time been lost through the centuries? 55:01 The Royal Observatory in Greenwich England 55:03 confirms the authenticity of the weekly cycle. 55:07 Time has never been lost. 55:11 No change in the continuity of the weekly cycle, 55:14 US Naval observatory says Washington D.C. 55:17 In over 140 languages of the world 55:21 they call the seventh day the Sabbath. 55:24 In Spanish Sabado which means Sabbath. 55:28 Number 24. Did Jesus keep the Sabbath? 55:31 "So He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. 55:33 And as his custom was, 55:34 he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, 55:37 and stood up to read." 55:38 Luke 4:16. 55:40 If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for us. 55:45 Jesus knew the correct day of worship. 55:47 I'm gonna say it again. 55:49 I can go to church seven days a week I want, 55:52 but the primary day of worship is the seventh day Sabbath. 55:57 Jesus knew which day was the seventh day Sabbath. 56:00 He knew and who is our example to follow? 56:04 Jesus Christ. 56:06 Now, the Jews continue to keep the same day 56:08 that Jesus kept as the Sabbath. 56:10 They are correct, but they need Jesus. 56:14 Would you agree, you can keep the Sabbath all you want, 56:17 but if you don't accept the Lord of the Sabbath, 56:19 that Sabbath is not gonna save anybody. 56:21 So the Bible makes that clear. 56:23 Now listen beloved, as our time is running out. 56:26 Would God ever ask us to keep the Sabbath holy 56:30 knowing we would not be able to figure out what day it was? 56:35 No, God wants us to know. 56:39 "You shall know the truth 56:42 and the truth shall set you free." 56:45 So what's that background historical religious cover-up. 56:51 Most people don't realize it. 56:53 It was the Roman Papal Power 56:56 who changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. 57:01 And now you know the rest of the story 57:03 and the truth sets you free. 57:06 You say, Mark, this is new to me. 57:09 This is something to pray about. 57:11 This is something to study about. 57:13 This is something you have to really pause and think, 57:18 not what do others say 57:20 but rather what have you read in your Bible, 57:23 and what do you see that happened in history? 57:26 Although sudden and alarming changes 57:28 are sweeping across the globe 57:30 you and your family can be prepared 57:32 to face the future with comforts. 57:35 The complete set of Amazing Prophecies on DVD 57:38 are available for a gift of $60 or more. 57:41 Call us at 1-855-336-FREE 57:46 or send your check or money order to 57:48 Forever Free Ministries, 57:50 2001 Munro Park, Corinth, Texas, 76208. 57:57 If you would like to have Mark Fox 57:58 hold an Amazing Prophecy seminar 58:01 or a marriage seminar weekend in your church, 58:03 contact us today, 58:05 markfox@ foreverfreeministries. org. |
