We are racing towards the
global crises at the close.
00:00:04.50\00:00:09.54
God is going to set
up His kingdom on earth.
00:00:09.57\00:00:13.94
Preparation for the tribulation
00:00:13.98\00:00:16.61
and the translation
is to develop a character
00:00:16.64\00:00:19.65
like Jesus Christ
to reach every hamlet,
00:00:19.68\00:00:22.78
every village,
every man, every child
00:00:22.82\00:00:25.85
every person in India,
every person in South America
00:00:25.89\00:00:28.62
must hear these
Three Angles' Messages.
00:00:28.66\00:00:34.53
These are
stories that illustrate
00:00:34.56\00:00:36.87
the kind of fabric of
character and perseverance
00:00:36.90\00:00:39.63
that we need to go
through the tribulation
00:00:39.67\00:00:42.27
just as certainly as they did.
00:00:42.30\00:00:44.14
The Bible makes it very clear
00:00:44.17\00:00:45.64
we are living
in an unusual hour.
00:00:45.67\00:00:47.98
The last grains of sand
00:00:48.01\00:00:49.61
are trickling
through the hourglass of time
00:00:49.64\00:00:52.25
and the door probation
is about the swing shut.
00:00:52.28\00:00:55.32
Tonight's
message in this edition
00:00:55.35\00:01:03.32
of Amazing
Prophecies is entitled
00:01:03.36\00:01:06.49
"The Mark of
the Beast, part 2.'"
00:01:06.53\00:01:09.76
You know, the Bible
says in Isaiah 43:19,
00:01:09.80\00:01:14.04
the Bible says, God says
there in verses 18 and 19,
00:01:14.07\00:01:17.21
He says, "Forget
the former things,
00:01:17.24\00:01:19.31
behold I will do a new thing."
00:01:19.34\00:01:22.24
That David said
in Psalms 40:1-3,
00:01:22.28\00:01:25.78
he says, "The Lord
picked me out of that,
00:01:25.81\00:01:28.08
pulled me out of that
mire, muddy, slippery pit
00:01:28.12\00:01:32.05
and He pulled me out
00:01:32.09\00:01:33.86
and set me on a rock
and established my goings.
00:01:33.89\00:01:36.79
He's put a new
song in my heart."
00:01:36.83\00:01:39.76
I am wondering, I
don't care how old you are,
00:01:39.79\00:01:41.66
how young you are,
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.03
how many are ready
for a new thing, amen.
00:01:43.06\00:01:45.13
Are you ready for a
new song and a new thing?
00:01:45.17\00:01:47.67
How many are willing to
make changes in your life
00:01:47.70\00:01:50.27
in order to sing that
new song, in order to--
00:01:50.31\00:01:53.48
listen to me carefully,
in order for the Lord to do
00:01:53.51\00:01:56.54
what He promised to do,
00:01:56.58\00:01:57.98
and do a new
thing in your heart?
00:01:58.01\00:02:00.72
I'm here to tell you,
it's time for a new thing.
00:02:00.75\00:02:03.59
We're going to have a review
that is going to be fast paced
00:02:03.62\00:02:09.79
and then we're going to
launch into some new territory.
00:02:09.82\00:02:12.86
But you know, I
am a firm believer
00:02:12.89\00:02:15.73
in repetition being
the key to retention.
00:02:15.76\00:02:18.93
I am not interested in
you saying at the close,
00:02:18.97\00:02:22.10
"Oh, that was good."
00:02:22.14\00:02:23.47
And then tomorrow
you forgot all about it.
00:02:23.51\00:02:26.57
This teacher, this
preacher believes that
00:02:26.61\00:02:30.15
if it's worth
saying, it's worth saying
00:02:30.18\00:02:32.75
two, three, four, five, times.
00:02:32.78\00:02:35.28
How many are you parents?
00:02:35.32\00:02:36.72
You repeat
yourself all the time,
00:02:36.75\00:02:38.45
I know that, I
know that, I know that.
00:02:38.49\00:02:41.06
So will the United States
enforce the mark of the beast?
00:02:41.09\00:02:43.69
She will be the first.
00:02:43.73\00:02:45.76
So what warning does God give
about the mark of the beast?
00:02:45.79\00:02:49.56
Revelation 14, looking
there at the center as it were,
00:02:49.60\00:02:55.20
in heart of the
Book of Revelation.
00:02:55.24\00:02:56.57
Revelation 14, this
is God's special book
00:02:56.60\00:03:01.08
for earth's final hour.
00:03:01.11\00:03:03.78
And looking here
at Revelation 14:6,
00:03:03.81\00:03:06.38
"Then I saw another angel
flying the midst of heaven,
00:03:06.41\00:03:09.22
having the everlasting gospel
00:03:09.25\00:03:10.72
to preach to those
that dwell on the earth,
00:03:10.75\00:03:12.59
to every nation, tribe, tongue,
00:03:12.62\00:03:14.39
and people saying
with a loud voice..."
00:03:14.42\00:03:17.26
What kind of voice?
00:03:17.29\00:03:18.63
"It's a clarion call
from heaven's throne room."
00:03:18.66\00:03:21.30
These are the
last messages of mercy
00:03:21.33\00:03:24.83
to a sin-stricken planet.
00:03:24.87\00:03:27.40
The Bible says here,
"Saying with a loud voice,"
00:03:27.44\00:03:30.01
a compelling voice,
and a voice that is seeking
00:03:30.04\00:03:33.68
to get the attention of
a pre-occupied generation.
00:03:33.71\00:03:38.25
And the Bible says,
"Saying with a loud voice,
00:03:38.28\00:03:40.62
fear God, and give glory to Him
00:03:40.65\00:03:42.68
for the hour of His judgment
is come, worship Him..."
00:03:42.72\00:03:46.86
Who?
00:03:46.89\00:03:48.22
"Who made the
heaven, and earth, the sea,
00:03:48.26\00:03:50.13
and the springs of waters."'
00:03:50.16\00:03:51.49
So there's a call to
earth's final generation
00:03:51.53\00:03:54.70
come back to
worshipping the Creator
00:03:54.73\00:03:58.00
according to His word,
according to the Holy Spirit,
00:03:58.03\00:04:01.50
according to the
Ten Commandments.
00:04:01.54\00:04:03.71
And so the Bible
says here, verse 9,
00:04:03.74\00:04:06.34
"Then a third
angel followed them,
00:04:06.37\00:04:07.91
saying with a loud voice."
00:04:07.94\00:04:09.28
Now see if you
can detect a contrast.
00:04:09.31\00:04:12.88
"If anyone
worships the beast..."
00:04:12.91\00:04:14.85
Do you see the
contrast? Yes or no?
00:04:14.88\00:04:17.45
"And his image,
and receives his mark
00:04:17.49\00:04:20.42
on his forehead,
or on his hand..."
00:04:20.46\00:04:22.49
What's going to happen?
00:04:22.52\00:04:23.86
What are going to
be the consequences?
00:04:23.89\00:04:26.80
"He himself shall also drink
the wine of the wrath of God,
00:04:26.83\00:04:30.10
which is poured
out full strength
00:04:30.13\00:04:32.00
into the cup of
his indignation."
00:04:32.03\00:04:33.70
These are the seven last plagues
00:04:33.74\00:04:35.07
according to Revelation
15:1-2 and Chapter 16.
00:04:35.10\00:04:40.01
So, the Bible says here,
you get the mark of the beast.
00:04:40.04\00:04:43.18
What is that going to incur?
00:04:43.21\00:04:45.68
What is that
going to precipitate?
00:04:45.71\00:04:47.05
The wrath of God.
00:04:47.08\00:04:48.42
How is that going to be
unleashed or poured out?
00:04:48.45\00:04:49.85
In seven installments.
00:04:49.88\00:04:51.52
The seven bowls,
the seven scourges,
00:04:51.55\00:04:53.66
the seven last-- what?
00:04:53.69\00:04:56.06
Seven last plagues.
00:04:56.09\00:04:57.43
So I want you to notice,
00:04:57.46\00:04:58.79
"They are going to be
poured out full strength
00:04:58.83\00:05:01.30
into the cup of his indignation
00:05:01.33\00:05:03.83
and he should be tormented
with fire and brimstone
00:05:03.87\00:05:06.63
in the presence
of all the angels
00:05:06.67\00:05:08.20
and in the
presence of the lamb."
00:05:08.24\00:05:09.74
So they're going to
get the seven last plagues
00:05:09.77\00:05:13.21
and then they're going to
be cast into the lake of fire.
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.34
And so the Bible
makes it very clear--
00:05:16.38\00:05:17.78
How many you agree?
This is serious stuff.
00:05:17.81\00:05:20.38
And so the Bible says here,
00:05:20.42\00:05:21.75
"And the smoke of their torment
ascends up for ever and ever
00:05:21.78\00:05:24.72
and they have no
rest day nor night,
00:05:24.75\00:05:26.62
who worship the
beast and his image,
00:05:26.65\00:05:29.32
and whosoever receive
the mark of his name."
00:05:29.36\00:05:31.53
And in contrast,
00:05:31.56\00:05:32.89
who is preaching these messages?
00:05:32.93\00:05:35.90
Who are sounding these trumpets
00:05:35.93\00:05:39.97
of warning in the last
days of earth's history?
00:05:40.00\00:05:43.00
Verse 12, "Here..."
00:05:43.04\00:05:45.97
You see, John the Revelator
00:05:46.01\00:05:48.81
banished on the isle of Patmos
00:05:48.84\00:05:50.88
for preaching the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:05:50.91\00:05:53.55
He is given favored by God,
00:05:53.58\00:05:55.88
these panorama sweeping visions,
00:05:55.92\00:05:58.09
these symbolic
visions and he's noticing,
00:05:58.12\00:06:01.26
there's one
angel doing a fly over,
00:06:01.29\00:06:03.39
yelling out with a loud
voice, "Worship the Creator."
00:06:03.43\00:06:06.63
Then another angel,
"Babylon is falling."
00:06:06.66\00:06:09.40
Third angel, he's
seeing that angel,
00:06:09.43\00:06:11.93
"If you worship the beast,
00:06:11.97\00:06:13.34
you're going to get
the mark of the beast
00:06:13.37\00:06:15.20
and you're going to
incur the wrath of God."
00:06:15.24\00:06:17.57
And then he sees here is
of patience of the saints.
00:06:17.61\00:06:23.95
Here are those who
keep the commandments of God
00:06:23.98\00:06:27.08
and the faith of Jesus.
00:06:27.12\00:06:28.45
In other words, there
are those who are responding
00:06:28.48\00:06:31.35
to the Three Angels' Messages
and they are the same ones
00:06:31.39\00:06:34.89
who are proclaiming them.
00:06:34.92\00:06:36.36
Can you say amen?
00:06:36.39\00:06:37.73
They proclaim
it, they received it.
00:06:37.76\00:06:39.89
I'm gonna agree,
before you proclaim it,
00:06:39.93\00:06:41.26
you must receive it?
00:06:41.30\00:06:42.63
But when you receive
it you say, you know what,
00:06:42.66\00:06:44.80
I'm going to begin to preach
and teach and live and share
00:06:44.83\00:06:48.47
with all the might and
power that God enables me
00:06:48.50\00:06:52.01
with to share
these urgent messages.
00:06:52.04\00:06:54.98
No trivial pursuit here.
00:06:55.01\00:06:57.58
And so the Bible
says here, verse 12,
00:06:57.61\00:06:59.75
here is the
patience of the saints,
00:06:59.78\00:07:01.45
the endurance, the perseverance.
00:07:01.48\00:07:03.02
"Here is the
patience of the saints,
00:07:03.05\00:07:04.72
here are those who keep
the commandments of God."
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.59
How many are there,
last time you checked?
00:07:06.62\00:07:08.72
How many fingers,
last time you checked?
00:07:08.76\00:07:10.46
You know, I was
sharing this with an individual
00:07:10.49\00:07:13.29
somewhere on the
planet, I don't know.
00:07:13.33\00:07:14.66
I probably
crisscross North America
00:07:14.70\00:07:16.70
and he said to me--
00:07:16.73\00:07:18.07
Oh, I said to
him, I said, you know,
00:07:18.10\00:07:19.53
"How many
commandments are there?"
00:07:19.57\00:07:20.90
I'm trying to
encourage him to keep all ten.
00:07:20.94\00:07:22.94
And I said, "How many
commandmentsare there."
00:07:22.97\00:07:24.57
Ten."
00:07:24.61\00:07:25.94
And I said, "Well,
think about it this way,
00:07:25.97\00:07:28.18
let me illustrate it.
00:07:28.21\00:07:29.54
How many fingers do you have?"
00:07:29.58\00:07:30.95
And he pulled them
out, he says, "Nine."
00:07:30.98\00:07:34.45
I said, "What?
What happened there?"
00:07:34.48\00:07:35.82
"Yeah, it got cut off."
00:07:35.85\00:07:37.19
I said, "Man, you just
ruined my illustration."
00:07:37.22\00:07:40.16
I'm looking for ten fingers.
00:07:40.19\00:07:41.52
How many got
ten fingers in here?
00:07:41.56\00:07:44.06
My grandfather,
that's a whole another story,
00:07:44.09\00:07:46.09
I'll share it some other time.
00:07:46.13\00:07:47.46
He had less than nine.
00:07:47.50\00:07:48.83
Anyway, I want
you to notice here,
00:07:48.86\00:07:50.33
here is the
patience of the saints,
00:07:50.37\00:07:52.10
here are those who
keep the commandments of God
00:07:52.13\00:07:54.00
and the faith of Jesus.
00:07:54.04\00:07:55.37
In other words, it will require
00:07:55.40\00:07:56.81
and it will necessitate
perseverance and endurance,
00:07:56.84\00:08:01.11
and it will
require a 'never give up'
00:08:01.14\00:08:03.68
type of faith in Jesus
if you're going to make it.
00:08:03.71\00:08:07.82
And so the Bible
makes it very clear,
00:08:07.85\00:08:09.55
our faith is going to be tested,
00:08:09.58\00:08:12.05
our love for Jesus
Christ will be tested.
00:08:12.09\00:08:15.39
The Bible makes it very clear
00:08:15.42\00:08:16.76
there is a showdown test coming.
00:08:16.79\00:08:18.26
Look at Revel--
00:08:18.29\00:08:19.63
Bible makes it very clear,
00:08:19.66\00:08:21.50
those who do not
receive the mark of the beast,
00:08:21.53\00:08:25.07
keep the commandments of God,
00:08:25.10\00:08:26.70
have the faith
of Jesus and endure.
00:08:26.74\00:08:29.60
It's going to require endurance
00:08:29.64\00:08:30.97
when everybody is
going along with it.
00:08:31.01\00:08:33.88
But then there's a remnant
who say, this is not right,
00:08:33.91\00:08:36.24
we're not going along with it.
00:08:36.28\00:08:37.75
And they will
receive scathing rebukes,
00:08:37.78\00:08:40.32
they will be
maligned, they will be taunted,
00:08:40.35\00:08:42.55
harassed, joked about,
00:08:42.58\00:08:45.25
but they are God's
people who shall prevail.
00:08:45.29\00:08:47.76
The Bible makes it very
clear in Revelation 15:1-2,
00:08:47.79\00:08:51.03
it says, God
will have His people
00:08:51.06\00:08:53.29
that have
victory over the beast,
00:08:53.33\00:08:55.26
over his image, over
his number and his name.
00:08:55.30\00:08:57.83
They get thorough victory
through the blood of Jesus
00:08:57.87\00:09:00.64
and the word of God.
00:09:00.67\00:09:02.00
And so the Bible
makes it very clear,
00:09:02.04\00:09:03.37
you can be an over-comer.
00:09:03.41\00:09:05.91
And so look at
here, Revelation 3:10.
00:09:05.94\00:09:09.14
Revelation 3:10,
00:09:09.18\00:09:11.45
"Because you have kept
My command to persevere,
00:09:11.48\00:09:14.48
I also will keep you
from the hour of trial."
00:09:14.52\00:09:16.28
In other words, you're going
to go through the tribulation
00:09:16.32\00:09:18.42
but I'll keep you
from it overcoming you,
00:09:18.45\00:09:22.06
that's what He's saying here.
00:09:22.09\00:09:23.43
Compare this with John 17.
00:09:23.46\00:09:25.79
I want you to notice here,
00:09:25.83\00:09:27.16
"Because you have kept
My command to persevere,
00:09:27.20\00:09:29.26
I also would keep you
from the hour of trial
00:09:29.30\00:09:31.17
or the tribulation which
shall come upon the whole world,
00:09:31.20\00:09:33.60
to test those who
dwell on the earth."
00:09:33.64\00:09:35.80
The Bible makes it very clear
00:09:35.84\00:09:37.57
we're going to need
perseverance and endurance,
00:09:37.61\00:09:40.28
if we're going to be victorious.
00:09:40.31\00:09:41.84
Would you agree?
00:09:41.88\00:09:43.21
Now is the time of
preparation for the tribulation.
00:09:43.24\00:09:47.82
That's why we
hold these seminars.
00:09:47.85\00:09:50.69
That's why I get out
of bed, wherever I am,
00:09:50.72\00:09:52.72
whether it's in
my R.V. or a hotel.
00:09:52.75\00:09:54.82
Sometimes I go home. Love that.
00:09:54.86\00:09:58.99
But what keeps me going?
00:09:59.03\00:10:03.13
I believe these are
life and death issues.
00:10:03.16\00:10:06.60
I believe these messages
00:10:06.63\00:10:09.07
are going to go
around the world.
00:10:09.10\00:10:11.17
If I can be involved in it,
I'd say, Lord, I am unworthy,
00:10:11.21\00:10:14.28
but this is downright exciting.
00:10:14.31\00:10:18.48
People get
excited over ball games,
00:10:18.51\00:10:20.22
I get excited over
sharing the Book of Revelation,
00:10:20.25\00:10:24.12
hearing it, nothing like it.
00:10:24.15\00:10:25.49
Can you say amen?
00:10:25.52\00:10:27.82
I want you to notice
here, Revelation 12:17,
00:10:27.86\00:10:35.36
"And he dragon was
enraged with the woman,
00:10:35.40\00:10:37.60
and went to make war,
or give her tribulation,
00:10:37.63\00:10:40.94
with the rest of her offspring."
00:10:40.97\00:10:43.17
"Enraged with the
woman, the church,
00:10:43.20\00:10:44.57
and he went to make war
with the rest of her offspring
00:10:44.61\00:10:46.98
who keep the commandments of God
00:10:47.01\00:10:48.84
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ."
00:10:48.88\00:10:50.71
So the devil, the dragon
is enraged with the woman
00:10:50.75\00:10:54.48
and he attacks the
last part of the church
00:10:54.52\00:10:57.42
known as a
remnant, a smaller group,
00:10:57.45\00:11:01.16
the ones that
remain over, remnant.
00:11:01.19\00:11:03.99
Those that remain faithful.
00:11:04.03\00:11:06.70
My Bible tells me that if
you want to be among the saint
00:11:06.73\00:11:10.53
who keep the commandments of God
00:11:10.57\00:11:12.27
and preach the
Three Angels' Messages,
00:11:12.30\00:11:14.64
don't expect to
be in the majority,
00:11:14.67\00:11:16.60
you will be among the remnant.
00:11:16.64\00:11:20.04
You must dare to be a Daniel
00:11:20.08\00:11:21.54
or Shadrach
Meshach and Abednego.
00:11:21.58\00:11:23.18
The stories of Daniel illustrate
00:11:23.21\00:11:25.15
the prophecies of Daniel.
00:11:25.18\00:11:27.45
And the writers of the
Book of Daniel and Revelation,
00:11:27.48\00:11:30.92
their character illustrates
the kind of character,
00:11:30.95\00:11:33.69
impeccable character that
we need to endure the crisis.
00:11:33.72\00:11:37.63
"And Jesus, who has
begun a good work in you,
00:11:37.66\00:11:40.60
He can finish it."
00:11:40.63\00:11:42.23
Philippians 1:6.
00:11:42.26\00:11:45.10
So the Bible
makes it very clear,
00:11:45.13\00:11:46.53
the dragon will launch his
final assault on the woman.
00:11:46.57\00:11:50.71
You know what?
That is going on now.
00:11:50.74\00:11:52.77
Then the following
verses describe two beasts
00:11:52.81\00:11:57.65
that attacked the woman.
00:11:57.68\00:11:59.38
The first beast is
the Roman papal system.
00:11:59.41\00:12:03.12
That's what the
Protestant reformers believed,
00:12:03.15\00:12:05.79
I am just echoing
00:12:05.82\00:12:07.46
what they proclaim
categorically, unequivocally
00:12:07.49\00:12:12.33
and vehemently
challenge the teachings dogmas
00:12:12.36\00:12:15.26
and creeds of an
apostate religious system
00:12:15.30\00:12:18.13
in the form of
the Roman papal power.
00:12:18.17\00:12:21.00
God ask these
people in all churches
00:12:21.04\00:12:23.30
but I'm here to
tell you the word of God
00:12:23.34\00:12:26.47
unabashedly
exposes false teaching.
00:12:26.51\00:12:30.55
And it's not to put down people
who are being influenced by it
00:12:30.58\00:12:34.38
because the truth is for
those who want to be liberated.
00:12:34.42\00:12:38.49
The truth shall set
you free if you believe it,
00:12:38.52\00:12:43.32
you receive it,
and you follow it.
00:12:43.36\00:12:45.49
And so that's John 8:32
and so I want you to notice,
00:12:45.53\00:12:48.36
there is a war.
00:12:48.40\00:12:49.73
So if you want to be among those
00:12:49.76\00:12:51.10
who keep the
commandments of God,
00:12:51.13\00:12:52.97
don't expect
everything to be smooth sailing.
00:12:53.00\00:12:57.67
Nobody's gliding into heaven.
00:12:57.71\00:12:59.87
Nobody's going to
have a smooth sail
00:12:59.91\00:13:02.28
on the other side of the lake.
00:13:02.31\00:13:06.68
I want you to notice
here, Revelation 16:15.
00:13:06.72\00:13:12.89
You say, Mark, are we really--
00:13:12.92\00:13:14.79
Are you really
sure the Bible teaches
00:13:14.82\00:13:16.73
we're going
through the tribulation?
00:13:16.76\00:13:18.36
In the context
of the sixth plague,
00:13:18.39\00:13:19.93
I shared this
with you last night,
00:13:19.96\00:13:21.66
words are in red, verse
15, jumps from the page,
00:13:21.70\00:13:25.23
"Behold I am coming as a thief."
00:13:25.27\00:13:27.34
He says this in the
context of the sixth plague.
00:13:27.37\00:13:29.90
He is not coming as a
thief until after the plagues,
00:13:29.94\00:13:33.58
after the tribulation.
00:13:33.61\00:13:35.28
You see, the church
must first be purified.
00:13:35.31\00:13:39.08
Read Ephesians 5, the
Bible says that the bride,
00:13:39.11\00:13:42.92
or I should say, "The
woman is to be cleansed."
00:13:42.95\00:13:46.39
Revelations 19:7, 9
says, "The woman, the wife,
00:13:46.42\00:13:49.99
the bride of
Christ makes herself ready
00:13:50.03\00:13:53.36
by putting on the robe
of Christ's righteousness,
00:13:53.40\00:13:55.76
putting on this character,
seeking to be like Him."
00:13:55.80\00:13:58.40
Now that's a process,
it's called sanctification.
00:13:58.43\00:14:00.97
But let me tell
you without holiness
00:14:01.00\00:14:03.24
no man shall see
the Lord, Hebrews 12:14.
00:14:03.27\00:14:06.44
That's why we must invite Jesus
00:14:06.47\00:14:09.74
to take full
control of our life,
00:14:09.78\00:14:11.91
every facet, every dimension.
00:14:11.95\00:14:14.22
It takes
everything to serve the Lord.
00:14:14.25\00:14:17.39
And so the Bible says
here, before Jesus comes
00:14:17.42\00:14:20.62
there's going to be
these seven last plagues
00:14:20.66\00:14:22.39
and He says, hold on,
hold on, hold on to your--
00:14:22.42\00:14:25.99
Notice what it says,
"Blessed is he who watches,
00:14:26.03\00:14:28.63
and keeps his
garments, lest he walk naked
00:14:28.66\00:14:30.33
and they see his shame."
00:14:30.37\00:14:31.83
So the Bible says,
look at Revelation 13:16,
00:14:31.87\00:14:36.64
"And he causes all,
both small and great,
00:14:36.67\00:14:38.37
rich and poor, free and slave,
00:14:38.41\00:14:39.84
to receive a mark
on their right hand
00:14:39.87\00:14:41.34
or on their foreheads,
and that no one may buy
00:14:41.38\00:14:43.55
or sell except
one who has the mark
00:14:43.58\00:14:45.15
or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name."
00:14:45.18\00:14:47.12
Will the mark of
the beast be enforced?
00:14:47.15\00:14:48.78
Yes or no? It will be enforced.
00:14:48.82\00:14:52.32
Is it going to go
global? Yes or no?
00:14:52.35\00:14:54.72
It will go global.
00:14:54.76\00:14:56.09
So listen, listen carefully,
who overcomes the beast,
00:14:56.12\00:15:00.53
the mark of the beast?
00:15:00.56\00:15:01.90
Those who keep the
commandments of God.
00:15:01.93\00:15:04.37
Revelation 15, 1-2,
00:15:04.40\00:15:05.93
"Then I saw
another sign in heaven,
00:15:05.97\00:15:08.30
great and
marvelous, seven angels having
00:15:08.34\00:15:10.14
the seven last plagues,
00:15:10.17\00:15:11.51
for in them the
wrath of God is complete."
00:15:11.54\00:15:13.04
What is poured out from those
00:15:13.07\00:15:14.41
who receive the
mark of the beast?
00:15:14.44\00:15:15.88
God's wrath, the
seven last plagues.
00:15:15.91\00:15:19.18
Truth or consequences?
00:15:19.21\00:15:21.28
Go along with the
mark of the beast,
00:15:21.32\00:15:22.65
you get two
things, wrath of God,
00:15:22.68\00:15:25.05
seven last plagues, hell-fire,
according to the word of God.
00:15:25.09\00:15:29.56
What happens if you say,
'no', I will not go along
00:15:29.59\00:15:33.09
with the mark of the beast?
00:15:33.13\00:15:34.66
You get the seal of God.
00:15:34.70\00:15:40.17
You don't go to hell.
00:15:40.20\00:15:42.30
But you kind of
experience the hell
00:15:42.34\00:15:44.91
before you go to heaven.
00:15:44.94\00:15:46.91
It's called the tribulation.
So you can have your pick.
00:15:46.94\00:15:50.85
As for me in my house,
I want to go up not down.
00:15:50.88\00:15:54.58
But I'm not going up
without being purified.
00:15:54.62\00:15:59.75
Preparation for the tribulation
00:15:59.79\00:16:02.99
which is
purification for our translation
00:16:03.02\00:16:06.16
which is
glorification, you can do this.
00:16:06.19\00:16:10.27
So just how popular will
the mark of the beast be?
00:16:10.30\00:16:12.97
says this,
00:16:13.00\00:16:16.30
"All who dwell on the
earth will worship him,
00:16:16.34\00:16:18.41
whose names
have not been written
00:16:18.44\00:16:19.77
in the Book of
Life of the Lamb slain
00:16:19.81\00:16:21.18
from the
foundation of the world."
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.38
The whole world.
00:16:23.41\00:16:25.61
All who dwell on the
earth will worship Him
00:16:25.65\00:16:28.72
except those who are in
the Lamb's Book of Life.
00:16:28.75\00:16:31.69
If your name is ultimately
removed from that book,
00:16:31.72\00:16:34.49
you will worship the beast.
00:16:34.52\00:16:36.29
So why would people go
along with the mark of beast
00:16:36.32\00:16:38.76
even after hearing
the strong warnings?
00:16:38.79\00:16:40.70
They've been deceived
00:16:40.73\00:16:42.10
or they just give
in to the pressure.
00:16:42.13\00:16:44.80
And so what
happens? They are deceived.
00:16:44.83\00:16:48.47
"The beast was captured,
and with him the false prophet
00:16:48.50\00:16:50.77
who worked
signs in his presence,
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.31
by which he..." what?
00:16:52.34\00:16:54.04
"Deceived those who
received the mark of the beast
00:16:54.08\00:16:56.95
and those who
worshiped his image.
00:16:56.98\00:16:59.18
These two were cast alive
and anybody who follow them
00:16:59.21\00:17:02.85
into the lake of fire
burning with brimstone."
00:17:02.88\00:17:06.52
And so the Bible
makes it very clear,
00:17:06.55\00:17:08.39
deceive, get the mark of
the beast, go to hell-fire.
00:17:08.42\00:17:12.33
I know this is not
politically correct
00:17:12.36\00:17:14.86
and I know that
there are many preachers
00:17:14.90\00:17:17.37
and teachers that will
give you diluted messages,
00:17:17.40\00:17:20.20
smooth messages and
their churches are jammed.
00:17:20.24\00:17:25.27
But I'm not in competition.
00:17:25.31\00:17:28.18
I have to sleep at night
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.75
and I don't want
your blood on my garments.
00:17:30.78\00:17:34.28
I want to know, Ezekiel 3,
00:17:34.32\00:17:37.09
that I've been a faithful
watchman on the walls of Zion,
00:17:37.12\00:17:40.36
sounding an alarm,
get on fire for Jesus
00:17:40.39\00:17:43.63
because every lukewarm person
00:17:43.66\00:17:45.83
will be spit out of
the mouth of Jesus Christ,
00:17:45.86\00:17:49.76
Revelation 3:14-21.
00:17:49.80\00:17:51.80
It's judgment in
the house of God.
00:17:51.83\00:17:54.17
Would you agree?
00:17:54.20\00:17:55.70
You gotta be on fire for Jesus
to go through that tribulation,
00:17:55.74\00:18:00.08
otherwise you going to
say like you know what,
00:18:00.11\00:18:02.31
I can't deal with this,
00:18:02.34\00:18:03.68
I got too much
on my plate already.
00:18:03.71\00:18:05.15
But when you and I are fired up,
00:18:05.18\00:18:07.55
you can say, do
whatever you want,
00:18:07.58\00:18:09.15
as for me and my
house, we will serve the Lord
00:18:09.18\00:18:11.75
and stay we're
serving the Lord."
00:18:11.79\00:18:13.12
Joshua 24:15.
00:18:13.15\00:18:15.02
Now listen carefully,
who is cast into hell-fire?
00:18:15.06\00:18:17.99
Anyone not found
written in the Book of Life
00:18:18.03\00:18:20.06
was cast into the lake of fire.
00:18:20.10\00:18:22.73
Now, how does
the Bible describes
00:18:22.76\00:18:24.10
those who worship the Creator
00:18:24.13\00:18:25.47
and avoid the mark of the beast?
00:18:25.50\00:18:26.94
"Here is of patience,
the endurance of the saints,
00:18:26.97\00:18:30.51
here are they that keep
the commandments of God,
00:18:30.54\00:18:32.67
and the faith of Jesus."
00:18:32.71\00:18:34.04
Saint Mark, you're scaring me.
00:18:34.08\00:18:37.81
Oh, maybe it's time
for a little comfort then.
00:18:37.85\00:18:40.65
Let's look at Romans.
00:18:40.68\00:18:42.02
By the way, when
the plagues fall,
00:18:42.05\00:18:46.22
we're going
through the tribulation
00:18:46.25\00:18:47.76
but read Psalms 91:10,
00:18:47.79\00:18:49.89
it says plagues
will fall all around you
00:18:49.92\00:18:52.59
but not come nigh thy dwelling.
00:18:52.63\00:18:54.80
In other words,
if you go to Jesus
00:18:54.83\00:18:57.33
and your trust in Jesus,
00:18:57.37\00:18:58.70
you're going to go
through the purification
00:18:58.73\00:19:00.60
but you have plagued insurance.
00:19:00.64\00:19:06.24
Anybody interested in Missouri?
00:19:06.27\00:19:10.15
And my Bible tells me, it
pays to follow Jesus Christ.
00:19:10.18\00:19:15.75
Here is the patience of
endurance of the saints.
00:19:15.78\00:19:17.69
Here they that keep
the commandments of God
00:19:17.72\00:19:20.12
and the faith of Jesus Christ.
00:19:20.16\00:19:22.46
You want some comfort?
00:19:22.49\00:19:23.83
I'll give you some
comfort from God's word.
00:19:23.86\00:19:26.56
The Romans 8:35,
00:19:26.59\00:19:30.57
"Who shall separate
us from the love of God?"
00:19:30.60\00:19:35.94
I stand here tonight before you,
00:19:35.97\00:19:39.04
because I believe
in the love of God.
00:19:39.07\00:19:40.88
If I did not I
would not stay in here,
00:19:40.91\00:19:43.31
because I would not
have a gospel message.
00:19:43.35\00:19:45.68
Gospel means good news.
00:19:45.71\00:19:47.45
You say, Mark, it
sounds like mark of the beast,
00:19:47.48\00:19:49.62
going through tribulation,
00:19:49.65\00:19:50.99
that does not
sound like good news.
00:19:51.02\00:19:52.95
What's the alternative?
00:19:52.99\00:19:57.29
Listen to me.
00:19:57.33\00:19:58.66
It is good news to know
what God wants to do with you,
00:19:58.69\00:20:02.23
even if it requires
a tribulation to do it.
00:20:02.26\00:20:05.87
At least you know
where you're going.
00:20:05.90\00:20:09.50
My Bible tells me,
00:20:09.54\00:20:11.41
nothing is going to separate
you from the love of God,
00:20:11.44\00:20:13.48
the very hairs of
your head are all numbered.
00:20:13.51\00:20:16.24
"Who shall separate
us from the love of God?
00:20:16.28\00:20:18.58
Shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
00:20:18.61\00:20:21.58
or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?"
00:20:21.62\00:20:23.75
In other words,
will the tribulation
00:20:23.79\00:20:25.72
separate us
from the love of God?
00:20:25.75\00:20:27.56
No, it will be more manifest
during that time more than
00:20:27.59\00:20:30.89
ever before that God
loves His people so much
00:20:30.93\00:20:35.06
that He allows them to be
purified by clinging to Him.
00:20:35.10\00:20:41.20
God will have a
people, remember?
00:20:41.24\00:20:44.24
The devil said, Job, He
doesn't really love you.
00:20:44.27\00:20:48.91
Matter of fact,
if you take away,
00:20:48.94\00:20:52.01
if you take away His
blessings, his prosperity
00:20:52.05\00:20:55.15
and you really let me mess
with him, He will curse you.
00:20:55.18\00:20:59.85
God said, all right, I'm
going to let you test him,
00:20:59.89\00:21:03.26
but only so far.
00:21:03.29\00:21:05.56
And you know the story.
00:21:05.59\00:21:09.26
And even his wife said,
just curse God and give it up.
00:21:09.30\00:21:15.30
They needed marriage counseling.
00:21:15.34\00:21:16.94
Guess which side needed it?
00:21:16.97\00:21:21.71
Usually it works the other way.
00:21:21.74\00:21:23.08
But anyway, God
will have modern Jobs
00:21:23.11\00:21:29.72
who say like him,
though He slain me,
00:21:29.75\00:21:32.79
yet will I trust Him.
00:21:32.82\00:21:34.32
Isn't that what
Jesus did on the cross?
00:21:34.36\00:21:36.73
So we got to move along.
00:21:36.76\00:21:38.26
What are three major discoveries
00:21:38.29\00:21:39.86
that we must make in
order to understand this issue?
00:21:39.89\00:21:42.40
We need to know who's the beast?
00:21:42.43\00:21:44.30
What is the seal of God?
What is the mark of the beast?
00:21:44.33\00:21:46.80
Who is the beast?
00:21:46.84\00:21:48.64
Ten clues, very quickly
here we go, snapshot review.
00:21:48.67\00:21:51.94
All of them originating,
surfacing from Revelation 13,
00:21:51.97\00:21:57.31
a power arising from Pagan Rome,
00:21:57.35\00:21:59.08
the dragon Pagan Rome,
00:21:59.11\00:22:00.52
gave him his power
and a seat, a capital seat
00:22:00.55\00:22:03.02
and great
authority, Revelation 13:2.
00:22:03.05\00:22:04.92
The term dragon
is used synonymously
00:22:04.95\00:22:07.79
for the dragon in
the primary sense,
00:22:07.82\00:22:09.92
and in the secondary
sense Pagan Rome whom the devil,
00:22:09.96\00:22:12.73
the dragon used
to persecute Jesus
00:22:12.76\00:22:16.87
and His followers.
00:22:16.90\00:22:18.23
Who did the dragon,
00:22:18.27\00:22:19.60
Pagan Rome give
its capital seat to?
00:22:19.63\00:22:21.14
"A religious
power that is worship.
00:22:21.17\00:22:22.54
They worship the
dragon which gave power
00:22:22.57\00:22:24.14
unto the beast,
worshipped the beast."
00:22:24.17\00:22:26.24
Revelation 13:4.
00:22:26.27\00:22:27.64
What religious power?
00:22:27.68\00:22:29.01
In 300 A.D., Constantine
relocated his capital seat
00:22:29.04\00:22:32.05
from Rome to Byzantium.
00:22:32.08\00:22:34.12
The beast is not a person.
00:22:34.15\00:22:35.88
It is a
religious political system.
00:22:35.92\00:22:38.15
Who filled the political
vacuum that was left in Rome
00:22:38.19\00:22:42.06
when Constantine left?
00:22:42.09\00:22:44.56
The pope, the papa,
the Roman papal system
00:22:44.59\00:22:48.40
inherited all that
prestige, all of that power.
00:22:48.43\00:22:52.43
All right?
00:22:52.47\00:22:53.80
So all who dwell on the
earth will end up worshiping
00:22:53.84\00:22:56.04
the system in some type of way.
00:22:56.07\00:22:58.34
This power is a
universal system of worship.
00:22:58.37\00:23:00.88
Is the
antichrist, man of sin inside
00:23:00.91\00:23:03.11
or outside the Christian Church?
00:23:03.14\00:23:04.55
2 Thessalonians 2.
00:23:04.58\00:23:05.98
I know I am going fast,
00:23:06.01\00:23:07.35
I'll slow down
when I get a chance.
00:23:07.38\00:23:08.72
Anyway, 2 Thessalonians
2:3-4 makes it very clear,
00:23:08.75\00:23:12.79
"Before we're
gathered together to the Lord
00:23:12.82\00:23:14.96
the man of sin will be revealed
00:23:14.99\00:23:17.29
and do his deadly
work, his dark deeds."
00:23:17.33\00:23:20.50
The Bible makes it clear,
00:23:20.53\00:23:21.86
the man of sin is
within the temple of God.
00:23:21.90\00:23:25.57
The temple of
God is an expression
00:23:25.60\00:23:28.24
that represents
the body of Christ.
00:23:28.27\00:23:30.74
We are as believers,
we are the body of Christ.
00:23:30.77\00:23:35.58
My body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit,
00:23:35.61\00:23:38.71
was a corporate body.
00:23:38.75\00:23:40.72
This is the Christian
church and the man of sin
00:23:40.75\00:23:43.42
comes into the Christian church.
00:23:43.45\00:23:46.35
And so you've got to be careful.
00:23:46.39\00:23:48.49
A blasphemous
power, the Bible says,
00:23:48.52\00:23:50.53
"Upon his head the
name of blasphemy."
00:23:50.56\00:23:53.19
"Seek where you will,
through heaven on earth
00:23:53.23\00:23:54.93
and you will
find but one creative
00:23:54.96\00:23:56.77
being who can
forgive the sinner,
00:23:56.80\00:23:58.43
that extraordinary
being is the priest,
00:23:58.47\00:24:00.34
the Catholic priest."
00:24:00.37\00:24:02.10
I believe there will be
many Catholics in heaven
00:24:02.14\00:24:04.74
because I believe
there are many Catholics
00:24:04.77\00:24:06.51
that believe in Jesus
Christ as their savior,
00:24:06.54\00:24:09.71
but they just haven't learned
all the rest of the truth.
00:24:09.74\00:24:14.45
At times of ignorance
God's winks at, Act 17:30,
00:24:14.48\00:24:18.12
but God wants
them to know the truth
00:24:18.15\00:24:19.75
because I'm here to
tell you many Roman Catholics
00:24:19.79\00:24:21.46
will not make it to heave`
00:24:21.49\00:24:22.92
and many Protestants
will not make it to heaven.
00:24:22.96\00:24:25.56
How many agree,
we've got to seek the Lord?
00:24:25.59\00:24:27.80
And so that's taken from
the Catholic Priest 78 and 79.
00:24:27.83\00:24:31.10
"We hold upon this earth
the place of God Almighty,"
00:24:31.13\00:24:33.90
Pope Leo XIII.
00:24:33.94\00:24:35.34
Would you agree?
That's blasphemy.
00:24:35.37\00:24:37.91
So clue number four,
"It was given unto him
00:24:37.94\00:24:40.88
to make war with the saints
00:24:40.91\00:24:42.24
and to overcome
them, a persecuting power."
00:24:42.28\00:24:43.71
Fifty to one hundred
million people lost their lives
00:24:43.75\00:24:45.95
during the Dark Ages.
00:24:45.98\00:24:47.32
Clue number five,
"A worldwide power,
00:24:47.35\00:24:49.05
all the world
wondered after the beast."
00:24:49.08\00:24:50.85
Catholic means universal.
00:24:50.89\00:24:52.95
Number six, "Dominating
civil and religious power.
00:24:52.99\00:24:55.26
Power was given him, the beast,
00:24:55.29\00:24:57.36
over all kindred's,
and tongues and nations."
00:24:57.39\00:24:59.36
Revelation 13:7.
00:24:59.39\00:25:01.83
"So also it's a power
which reigns 1260 years
00:25:01.86\00:25:05.83
before its power
is temporarily broken
00:25:05.87\00:25:07.94
and he was given a mouth,
00:25:07.97\00:25:09.50
speaking great
things and blasphemies,
00:25:09.54\00:25:11.64
and it was given unto him
00:25:11.67\00:25:13.01
to continue
forty and two months."
00:25:13.04\00:25:14.51
We have a time frame here.
We have prophetic time here.
00:25:14.54\00:25:18.45
You see, God uses an
exact science called Math.
00:25:18.48\00:25:23.75
Can't argue with
math, how many of you agree?
00:25:23.79\00:25:25.62
Whether you like it or not,
two plus two is always four.
00:25:25.65\00:25:29.22
And when God gives
math to confirm something,
00:25:29.26\00:25:32.93
you can't argue.
00:25:32.96\00:25:34.56
It's
irrefutable. Revelation 13:5.
00:25:34.60\00:25:37.53
And so we need to let them know,
00:25:37.57\00:25:39.63
let the skeptics know that
the Bible is not a collection
00:25:39.67\00:25:43.14
of fairytales and
myths, rather it is proven
00:25:43.17\00:25:46.64
with the
veracity, trustworthiness,
00:25:46.68\00:25:49.74
the
dependability, the inspiration
00:25:49.78\00:25:52.15
of scripture is
verified and confirmed
00:25:52.18\00:25:55.28
over and over and over again
00:25:55.32\00:25:57.72
because of
prophecies that have been
00:25:57.75\00:26:00.09
or are being
fulfilled and will be fulfilled.
00:26:00.12\00:26:03.32
And so clue
number seven, 42 months,
00:26:03.36\00:26:05.19
30 days in a
biblical months, 1260 days.
00:26:05.23\00:26:08.26
"I have appointed
thee each day for a year."
00:26:08.30\00:26:10.10
In the context of
symbolic Bible Prophecy,
00:26:10.13\00:26:12.13
one day equals a
year, Ezekiel 4:6.
00:26:12.17\00:26:15.00
So the Roman decree went forth
00:26:15.04\00:26:17.94
to give the
papacy a reign of terror,
00:26:17.97\00:26:22.21
unprecedented power.
00:26:22.24\00:26:24.11
It received unprecedented power
00:26:24.15\00:26:25.81
at the decree of Roman Justinian
00:26:25.85\00:26:28.18
to make the papa,
the bishop of Rome,
00:26:28.22\00:26:30.52
the head of all
churches, definer of doctrine,
00:26:30.55\00:26:32.75
corrector of heretics,
went into effect in 538 A.D,
00:26:32.79\00:26:36.26
1260 years later,
it would have a setback
00:26:36.29\00:26:39.29
but then it
would have a comeback.
00:26:39.33\00:26:40.70
The pope was captured in 1798.
00:26:40.73\00:26:43.37
"A power
receives a deadly wound.
00:26:43.40\00:26:45.67
And I saw one of his heads
as it were wounded to death,"
00:26:45.70\00:26:48.10
Revelation 13:3.
00:26:48.14\00:26:49.80
"And he that
leadeth into captivity
00:26:49.84\00:26:51.47
shall go into captivity,
00:26:51.51\00:26:52.94
he that kills with the sword
must be killed with a sword."
00:26:52.97\00:26:55.48
What goes around, comes around.
00:26:55.51\00:26:58.61
Eventually I knew
you'd come around.
00:26:58.65\00:26:59.98
All right, Revelation 13:10.
00:27:00.02\00:27:01.58
So the deadly wound
was inflicted in 1798,
00:27:01.62\00:27:05.42
exactly 1260 years from 538 A D.
00:27:05.45\00:27:09.36
Coincidence? No, confirmation.
00:27:09.39\00:27:12.69
Clue number nine, a power
whose deadly wound is healed.
00:27:12.73\00:27:15.30
"His deadly wound was healed,
and all the world wondered
00:27:15.33\00:27:18.50
and followed after the beast."
00:27:18.53\00:27:20.00
What a healing? Revelation 13:3.
00:27:20.04\00:27:22.14
So what events confirm
the dramatic resurgence
00:27:22.17\00:27:25.21
and healing of the papacy?
00:27:25.24\00:27:27.08
In 1929, the Papal States
00:27:27.11\00:27:29.34
that were stripped
in 1870 was restored.
00:27:29.38\00:27:32.85
"The Papal States
which were stripped
00:27:32.88\00:27:34.35
from the papacy were
restored to them in 1929."

Heal wounds of many
years. Front page article.
00:27:40.86\00:27:44.96
And now just keep in
tune with what is going on.
00:27:44.99\00:27:51.27
Prophecy is being fulfilled
right underneath your noses
00:27:51.30\00:27:55.94
and most don't even know it
00:27:55.97\00:27:57.94
because they haven't
studied their Bible correctly
00:27:57.97\00:28:00.68
and they don't
know what to look for.
00:28:00.71\00:28:02.28
How many agree, let
these be your eye-glasses?
00:28:02.31\00:28:07.12
The "deadly
wound" is being healed.
00:28:07.15\00:28:09.75
Deadly wound is being healed.
Deadly wound is being healed.
00:28:09.78\00:28:14.26
The deadly
wound is being healed.
00:28:14.29\00:28:16.62
Another major point,
the beast has a number.
00:28:16.66\00:28:18.73
A power with a man at the
top whose official name, title,
00:28:18.76\00:28:21.16
has a numerical value of 666.
00:28:21.20\00:28:23.43
"The name of the beast,
or the number of his name."
00:28:23.47\00:28:24.97
Revelation 13:17.
00:28:25.00\00:28:27.24
A man would speak
for the beast power.
00:28:27.27\00:28:30.17
What is the
highest ranking title
00:28:30.21\00:28:32.27
that is given to every
00:28:32.31\00:28:33.91
successive pope or papa of Rome?
00:28:33.94\00:28:36.58
The Latin title is
Vicarius Filii Dei,
00:28:36.61\00:28:41.52
which means in English,
vicar of the Son of God,
00:28:41.55\00:28:44.02
representative
of the Son of God.
00:28:44.05\00:28:45.85
What kind of numerical
system would you use to--
00:28:45.89\00:28:49.72
the Bible says calculate
the number of the name?
00:28:49.76\00:28:52.36
What kind of
numerical system should you use
00:28:52.39\00:28:54.70
for a Roman power
in the first place?
00:28:54.73\00:28:57.17
Roman numerals. And
so there you have it.
00:28:57.20\00:28:59.97
It all adds up to 666.
00:29:00.00\00:29:03.04
And so ten clues, a Roman power,
00:29:03.07\00:29:05.97
a religious power,
a blasphemous power,
00:29:06.01\00:29:08.51
a religious power
dominating civil power,
00:29:08.54\00:29:10.58
a worldwide power.
00:29:10.61\00:29:12.58
You want more? Here's more.
00:29:12.61\00:29:13.95
Persecuting power,
00:29:13.98\00:29:15.32
a power having
supremacy for 1260 years,
00:29:15.35\00:29:17.85
a power that reins--
receives the deadly wound.
00:29:17.89\00:29:20.46
A power whose
deadly wound is healed.
00:29:20.49\00:29:22.09
A power with a
mysterious number 666.
00:29:22.12\00:29:24.49
All roads lead to
papal Rome. Irrefutable.
00:29:24.53\00:29:29.80
But one of the Protestant
reformers had it right.
00:29:29.83\00:29:33.60
The root word in
Protestant means protest.
00:29:33.64\00:29:36.84
Nowadays? Are you kidding?
00:29:36.87\00:29:42.14
We have a pop gospel.
00:29:42.18\00:29:46.88
Sudden changes are about to
catch the world by surprise.
00:29:46.92\00:29:50.69
Amazing Bible
prophecies are fast fulfilling.
00:29:50.72\00:29:54.06
Do ancient prophecies predict
the sudden economic collapse?
00:29:54.09\00:29:57.66
Will the Middle East
crisis erupt into World War III?
00:29:57.69\00:30:01.33
Are we living on
the eve of Armageddon?
00:30:01.36\00:30:03.83
How will the final moves
of the antichrist affect you?
00:30:03.87\00:30:07.20
What is the future of
the United States of America?
00:30:07.24\00:30:10.41

Does the Roman
papal system fulfill
00:30:49.41\00:30:51.18
all the ten characteristics
of the beast power?
00:30:51.21\00:30:52.91
It does.
00:30:52.95\00:30:54.28
The most
popular Christian system
00:30:54.32\00:30:55.65
in the world is antichrist.
00:30:55.68\00:30:57.02
The whole world
will follow the beast
00:30:57.05\00:30:58.39
in some kind of false worship.
00:30:58.42\00:30:59.99
In contrast, you
worship the Creator
00:31:00.02\00:31:02.29
and keep all of
His Ten Commandments.
00:31:02.32\00:31:04.03
Who will be sealed?
00:31:04.06\00:31:05.39
Those who refuse
to follow the beast
00:31:05.43\00:31:07.86
and rather keep the
commandments of God.
00:31:07.90\00:31:12.37
Now, let me expand on
this. What is the seal of God?
00:31:12.40\00:31:15.87
Where is the seal
of God? That's a clue.
00:31:15.90\00:31:18.77
Take your Bible and
turn with me to Revelation 7.
00:31:18.81\00:31:21.64
Are we learning something?
We're learning fast, aren't we?
00:31:21.68\00:31:25.11
Revelation 7:1,
00:31:25.15\00:31:29.28
"After these
things I saw four angels
00:31:29.32\00:31:31.02
standing on the four
corners of the earth,
00:31:31.05\00:31:32.89
holding the four
winds of the earth,
00:31:32.92\00:31:34.29
that the wind should
not blow on the tree,
00:31:34.32\00:31:36.36
on the sea, or on any tree.
00:31:36.39\00:31:38.79
On the earth, on
the sea, or on the tree.
00:31:38.83\00:31:41.13
Then I saw another
angel ascending from the east,
00:31:41.16\00:31:43.50
having the seal
of the living God.
00:31:43.53\00:31:45.43
And he cried with a loud voice
00:31:45.47\00:31:46.97
to the four angels
to whom it was granted
00:31:47.00\00:31:48.80
to harm the earth and the sea,
00:31:48.84\00:31:50.34
saying, 'Do not harm the
earth, the sea, or the trees
00:31:50.37\00:31:53.94
till we have sealed the
servants of our God...'"
00:31:53.98\00:31:58.18
Notice here, verse
3, "Till we have sealed
00:31:58.21\00:32:01.35
the servants of our
God on their foreheads."
00:32:01.38\00:32:06.42
Now, quickly turn
to Revelation 14:1.
00:32:06.45\00:32:13.16
Revelation 14:1, "Then I looked,
00:32:13.19\00:32:16.13
and behold, a Lamb
standing on Mount Zion,
00:32:16.16\00:32:18.33
and with Him one hundred
and forty-four thousand."
00:32:18.37\00:32:21.90
Mark, is that
literal or figurative?
00:32:21.94\00:32:23.74
That's another
night. Having on His...
00:32:23.77\00:32:26.04
Notice, "Having
his Father's name
00:32:26.07\00:32:28.51
written on their foreheads."
00:32:28.54\00:32:30.55
Can you see the connection
00:32:30.58\00:32:31.91
between the seal
of God and God's name?
00:32:31.95\00:32:34.72
How many can see
a connection there?
00:32:34.75\00:32:37.05
Seal on the forehead,
God's name on the forehead.
00:32:37.09\00:32:40.62
Look at Revelation 22.
00:32:40.66\00:32:42.89
Revelation 22:4,
"They shall see his face
00:32:42.92\00:32:47.66
and his name shall
be on their forehead."
00:32:47.70\00:32:51.47
Either you get
the mark of the beast
00:32:51.50\00:32:53.23
on the forehead or on the
hand or you get the seal of God.
00:32:53.27\00:32:56.91
Can't get it on the hand,
00:32:56.94\00:32:58.34
you can only get
it on the forehead
00:32:58.37\00:33:00.74
and it equates
with the name of God.
00:33:00.78\00:33:05.11
The name of God is what?
00:33:05.15\00:33:07.02
John 17:26, Jesus said
00:33:07.05\00:33:10.89
I have sought
to reveal your name
00:33:10.92\00:33:15.69
and I will continue
to reveal your name.
00:33:15.72\00:33:18.99
What is his name, his
character to have the name?
00:33:19.03\00:33:22.63
Remember Jacob was
changed to the name Israel, why?
00:33:22.66\00:33:27.24
Because he had
a character change
00:33:27.27\00:33:30.27
and those who
receive a character change
00:33:30.31\00:33:32.37
become true Israel.
00:33:32.41\00:33:34.88
He is the Jew
which is one inwardly
00:33:34.91\00:33:36.95
not outwardly of the
flesh, Romans 2:28-29.
00:33:36.98\00:33:40.05
If you are Christ
then, yeah, "Abraham's seed,
00:33:40.08\00:33:42.32
and heirs
according to the promise."
00:33:42.35\00:33:43.69
Galatians 3:29.
00:33:43.72\00:33:47.72
Anyway, the Bible
makes it very clear
00:33:47.76\00:33:49.76
that we are modern Israel
00:33:49.79\00:33:52.43
and we must get the seal
of God and the name of God.
00:33:52.46\00:33:55.76
And so the Bible
makes it very clear,
00:33:55.80\00:33:57.70
where is the seal of God placed?
00:33:57.73\00:33:59.27
Point, where is
it? Where's is it go?
00:33:59.30\00:34:01.67
Where is it go? On the forehead.
00:34:01.70\00:34:03.57
On the forehead.
Listen carefully.
00:34:03.61\00:34:05.07
What else does God
promise to place in the forehead
00:34:05.11\00:34:08.44
or on the heart?
00:34:08.48\00:34:10.28
"I will put my
laws in their hearts
00:34:10.31\00:34:13.88
and write them on..."
00:34:13.92\00:34:15.55
I'm sorry, I'm
sorry. Slow down, Mark.
00:34:15.58\00:34:17.59
"I will put my
laws in their minds
00:34:17.62\00:34:21.39
and write them on their hearts."
00:34:21.42\00:34:24.19
Do you see how in and on
00:34:24.23\00:34:26.29
are used interchangeably,
synonymously here.
00:34:26.33\00:34:29.13
Can you see that?
00:34:29.16\00:34:30.50
So the seal of God
actually goes in the forehead.
00:34:30.53\00:34:34.80
What is in the
forehead? Your mind.
00:34:34.84\00:34:38.64
What part of the
brain? Frontal lobes.
00:34:38.67\00:34:40.98
What's going on there?
00:34:41.01\00:34:42.91
That's where you make decision,
00:34:42.94\00:34:45.38
that's where you
make your choices.
00:34:45.41\00:34:47.25
God sent His son
Jesus to die for us
00:34:47.28\00:34:51.89
that He might say,
come let us reason,
00:34:51.92\00:34:55.89
let us reason together,
though your sins are scarlet?
00:34:55.92\00:34:58.39
Let me reason with
you. Let me have you think.
00:34:58.43\00:35:01.96
My friend, Dr. Neil
Nedley just wrote a book,
00:35:02.00\00:35:04.27
I got to get it but
it's a little expensive,
00:35:04.30\00:35:06.03
but it's worth it, called
"The Lost Art of Thinking."
00:35:06.07\00:35:11.54
Go online and get it.
Tell me what you think.
00:35:11.57\00:35:14.14
I will get it too.
00:35:14.18\00:35:17.58
God gave us a thinking book,
00:35:17.61\00:35:23.28
but we have attention
deficit disorder big time.
00:35:23.32\00:35:29.29
People have a hard time
concentrating and listening
00:35:29.32\00:35:34.73
and that's the devil's work.
00:35:34.76\00:35:37.63
You and I need to know
what it's like to sit down
00:35:37.67\00:35:40.44
and read for a few hours.
00:35:40.47\00:35:43.67
If you can do it
every day, more the better.
00:35:43.71\00:35:46.81
My Bible tells
me the seal goes in
00:35:46.84\00:35:49.61
where you really
discriminate and make decisions,
00:35:49.64\00:35:53.05
you've got to
really think and make it,
00:35:53.08\00:35:54.62
''Come let us reason together,
though your sins are scarlet,
00:35:54.65\00:35:57.59
they should be white
as snow, red like crimson,
00:35:57.62\00:35:59.35
they should be as
wool," Isaiah 1:18.
00:35:59.39\00:36:01.56
So I will put my laws,
00:36:01.59\00:36:03.09
the law of God,
the Ten Commandments.
00:36:03.12\00:36:04.73
Remember, Jesus is standing
by those Ten Commandments,
00:36:04.76\00:36:08.10
that's where He is.
00:36:08.13\00:36:09.46
How can somebody say,
"They've been done away with,
00:36:09.50\00:36:10.83
we're not under
them, we're under grace"?
00:36:10.87\00:36:12.90
Amen. Where is the mercy seat?
00:36:12.93\00:36:15.07
Right there in heaven,
at the Ark of the Covenant.
00:36:15.10\00:36:17.61
Well, what's under the
mercy? The Ten Commandments.
00:36:17.64\00:36:19.61
Oh, grace, mercy does not
throw out the Ten Commandments.
00:36:19.64\00:36:23.04
We're under the
mercy. Thank God for that.
00:36:23.08\00:36:26.25
But that doesn't
throw away the law.
00:36:26.28\00:36:28.22
Know that mercy and
grace enables him to write
00:36:28.25\00:36:30.82
that law in my heart.
00:36:30.85\00:36:33.56
How many agree, it will
take a miracle to save you?
00:36:33.59\00:36:36.93
And that's what
grace is all about.
00:36:36.96\00:36:38.89
How many agree, you
wouldn't even be here tonight
00:36:38.93\00:36:40.70
if it wasn't for a
whole lot of miracles God
00:36:40.73\00:36:42.86
was doing to work for you?
00:36:42.90\00:36:45.23
You wouldn't even have
an interest in these things
00:36:45.27\00:36:47.07
if it wasn't for miracles
00:36:47.10\00:36:48.74
that God's been
working in your life.
00:36:48.77\00:36:50.14
I say hallelujah.
00:36:50.17\00:36:51.51
Come on, do you recognize
good stuff when you hear it?
00:36:51.54\00:36:54.91
So Hebrews 8:10 says,
00:36:54.94\00:36:56.64
"I will put my
laws in their minds
00:36:56.68\00:36:58.55
and write them in their heart."
00:36:58.58\00:37:00.72
On, in.
00:37:00.75\00:37:02.22
You know when I tell my wife,
00:37:02.25\00:37:03.59
'Honey I love you
with all my heart.'
00:37:03.62\00:37:05.79
Does the heart
think... literally?
00:37:05.82\00:37:10.03
No, it's use figurative.
00:37:10.06\00:37:11.93
But you really
should not go around saying,
00:37:11.96\00:37:14.36
'Honey I love you
with all my brain.'
00:37:14.40\00:37:17.67
Doesn't sound right.
00:37:17.70\00:37:19.90
I will put my laws in
their hearts, their minds.
00:37:19.93\00:37:23.41
Come on, in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
00:37:23.44\00:37:26.34
Where does the seal go?
00:37:26.37\00:37:27.71
Point. We can do this.
00:37:27.74\00:37:31.65
Where does the law of
God go in the New Covenant?
00:37:31.68\00:37:38.85
All right.
00:37:41.62\00:37:43.96
Where is the law of
God placed? Got it covered.
00:37:43.99\00:37:48.80
What's the New Covenant promise?
00:37:48.83\00:37:50.67
I'll write it in their heart,
all ten of the commandments.
00:37:50.70\00:37:54.54
"Here is the
patience of the saints,
00:37:54.57\00:37:55.90
here are they that
keep the commandments of God
00:37:55.94\00:37:57.27
and the faith of Jesus."
00:37:57.31\00:37:58.64
They are the ones
who get the seal of God.
00:37:58.67\00:38:00.21
Is there a connection between
the seal and the law of God?
00:38:00.24\00:38:04.21
Listen to this,
"Bind up the testimony,
00:38:04.25\00:38:06.92
seal the law
among my disciples."
00:38:06.95\00:38:10.59
Hallelujah.
00:38:10.62\00:38:15.79
If you decide you
don't want to keep
00:38:15.82\00:38:17.73
all of them by the grace of God.
00:38:17.76\00:38:20.33
"Without me,
you can do nothing."
00:38:20.36\00:38:21.70
John 15:5.
00:38:21.73\00:38:23.06
"But I can do all things
00:38:23.10\00:38:24.43
through Christ
who strengthens me."
00:38:24.47\00:38:25.80
Philippians 4:13.
00:38:25.83\00:38:27.17
It's all of grace,
it's all of His power.
00:38:27.20\00:38:28.80
It's all of His righteousness
that we get by faith.
00:38:28.84\00:38:31.54
This is not
righteousness by works.
00:38:31.57\00:38:33.48
It's not me trying to do good,
00:38:33.51\00:38:34.94
trying to keep the
commands to earn salvation.
00:38:34.98\00:38:36.75
No, that's
righteousness by work.
00:38:36.78\00:38:38.31
"Salvation is a gift.
00:38:38.35\00:38:40.05
But faith without works,
that's useless and dead."
00:38:40.08\00:38:42.18
James 2:26. How
many of you agree?
00:38:42.22\00:38:43.89
"If you love me
keep my commandments."
00:38:43.92\00:38:45.72
John 14:15?
00:38:45.75\00:38:47.09
And so bind up the testimony,
seal the law among my disciple.
00:38:47.12\00:38:51.36
"Those who allow the Holy Spirit
00:38:51.39\00:38:53.13
to write the whole
law in their hearts
00:38:53.16\00:38:55.26
including the commandment
that contains the seal
00:38:55.30\00:38:57.80
will be sealed
on their foreheads.
00:38:57.83\00:38:59.53
You see, listen carefully.
00:38:59.57\00:39:01.10
"The law of God and the
seal of God go together."
00:39:01.14\00:39:03.77
Can you say amen?
00:39:03.81\00:39:05.14
"Therefore if you want the seal
00:39:05.17\00:39:07.08
you must keep the Law in
which the seal is placed."
00:39:07.11\00:39:11.55
Uh, you didn't hear that.
00:39:11.58\00:39:12.91
Here we go.
00:39:12.95\00:39:14.28
Therefore, if
you want the seal--
00:39:14.32\00:39:16.58
Are you interested?
00:39:16.62\00:39:18.45
You must keep the law
00:39:18.49\00:39:20.76
through the grace of
Christ by trusting in Him
00:39:20.79\00:39:23.99
and if we fall short,
we ask for forgiveness
00:39:24.03\00:39:26.59
and His righteousness
still continues to cover us.
00:39:26.63\00:39:29.93
Because how many agree,
right up until Jesus comes,
00:39:29.96\00:39:32.47
we are still under construction.
00:39:32.50\00:39:33.84
It's called sanctification.
Work of a lifetime.
00:39:33.87\00:39:37.74
Therefore, if you want the seal,
00:39:37.77\00:39:39.17
you must keep the law
in which the seal is place.
00:39:39.21\00:39:43.04
"In ancient times
a King sealed a law,
00:39:43.08\00:39:45.08
decree with his
royal signet ring."
00:39:45.11\00:39:47.08
Didn't he? King
would have a ring with--
00:39:47.12\00:39:50.99
His royal ring
with a raised design
00:39:51.02\00:39:52.85
an image on the top of it.
00:39:52.89\00:39:54.29
And what would he do with that?
00:39:54.32\00:39:55.96
He would use it
to impress his image
00:39:55.99\00:39:58.59
or some something, his name
or whatever was on that ring
00:39:58.63\00:40:01.53
to impress it upon
pliable clay or melted wax.
00:40:01.56\00:40:06.40
Something that would
receive-- Oh, come on.
00:40:06.43\00:40:09.34
Listen to the Holy Spirit,
00:40:09.37\00:40:11.61
that would receive
the image of the king
00:40:11.64\00:40:14.91
or the name of the king.
00:40:14.94\00:40:16.44
Somebody's going
to get this tonight.
00:40:16.48\00:40:18.78
Another words, you're not
going to get the seal of God
00:40:18.81\00:40:21.28
unless your heart
is like melted wax.
00:40:21.32\00:40:23.59
You got to go to the
cross to get your heart melted
00:40:23.62\00:40:25.95
or you will never
get the seal of God.
00:40:25.99\00:40:29.02
You've got to be pliable clay.
00:40:29.06\00:40:30.49
He is the potter
wheel of the clay.
00:40:30.53\00:40:32.76
You got to be pliable saying,
00:40:32.79\00:40:34.13
Lord, "Not I but
Christ lives in me
00:40:34.16\00:40:37.13
and the life which I
now live in the flesh
00:40:37.17\00:40:38.67
I live with the
faith of the Son of God,
00:40:38.70\00:40:40.47
love me, gave himself for me."
00:40:40.50\00:40:42.00
Galatians 2:20.
00:40:42.04\00:40:43.74
"I if I've been
lifted up from the earth,
00:40:43.77\00:40:45.37
I will draw all men to me."
00:40:45.41\00:40:47.24
John 12:32. Can I
put it in another way?
00:40:47.28\00:40:49.81
What Jesus essentially is saying
00:40:49.84\00:40:51.41
is I'll melt hearts
at the foot of the cross.
00:40:51.45\00:40:54.28
That's how you get
your heart receptive
00:40:54.32\00:40:57.09
to the law of God
and to receive His image.
00:40:57.12\00:41:02.29
Listen, the
Bible says Romans 8:29,
00:41:02.32\00:41:05.83
that He wants to conform
us to the image of His son.
00:41:05.86\00:41:11.07
You see, you either
get the image of the beast
00:41:11.10\00:41:13.23
or you were in
the image of His son.
00:41:13.27\00:41:15.07
How many agree, we are to
be a spitting image of Jesus,
00:41:15.10\00:41:19.64
just like my son Caleb
is a spitting image of me?
00:41:19.67\00:41:24.05
Oh, I saw a lot of people say,
00:41:24.08\00:41:25.88
he looks a little
like your mom there too.
00:41:25.91\00:41:27.78
Come on now, please,
when you leave here tonight,
00:41:27.82\00:41:29.45
he looks like you too.
00:41:29.48\00:41:31.85
My daughter,
spitting image of me as well.
00:41:31.89\00:41:33.62
Let me tell you something.
00:41:33.66\00:41:34.99
We are to be
spitting images of God,
00:41:35.02\00:41:38.19
reflecting the
character of Christ.
00:41:38.23\00:41:41.23
Amen. Set your standard high.
00:41:41.26\00:41:46.84
"This ring usually had a
raised designer or image on it
00:41:46.87\00:41:50.37
that would be impressed upon
pliable clay or melted wax."
00:41:50.41\00:41:53.98
In the days of Esther,
00:41:54.01\00:41:55.41
"The king took his
signet ring from his hand
00:41:55.44\00:41:58.18
and in the name
of King Ahasuerus,
00:41:58.21\00:42:00.48
it was written,
00:42:00.52\00:42:01.85
and sealed with the
king's signet ring."
00:42:01.88\00:42:04.85
Esther 3:10-12.
00:42:04.89\00:42:07.19
So the King's decrees or
laws were signed or sealed
00:42:07.22\00:42:10.06
with his signature or royal law.
00:42:10.09\00:42:12.63
"The Ten
Commandments are called,
00:42:12.66\00:42:14.50
get this, the royal law."
00:42:14.53\00:42:17.63
Hallelujah, James 2:8.
00:42:17.67\00:42:20.14
The King of
Kings has a "Royal Law"
00:42:20.17\00:42:24.54
and that royal seal or signature
00:42:24.57\00:42:27.44
is that of approval.
00:42:27.48\00:42:28.88
It's the good
housekeeping seal of approval.
00:42:28.91\00:42:34.95
How many agree,
there's housecleaning
00:42:34.98\00:42:36.38
going on in the house of God?
00:42:36.42\00:42:37.75
You got to get the seal
00:42:37.79\00:42:39.12
which is God's good housekeeping
00:42:39.15\00:42:42.62
seal of approval.
00:42:42.66\00:42:45.29
See, the seal
means that God approves.
00:42:45.33\00:42:48.73
"God will approve of you
when you accept Jesus Christ,
00:42:48.76\00:42:51.60
that very moment
you put on Christ,
00:42:51.63\00:42:53.87
you put on the
robe of His righteous,
00:42:53.90\00:42:55.34
you are
accepted in the beloved."
00:42:55.37\00:42:56.74
Ephesians 1:6.
00:42:56.77\00:42:59.17
But unless you're
willing to walk with Jesus
00:42:59.21\00:43:01.51
as you have
therefore receive Christ
00:43:01.54\00:43:03.11
Jesus so walk in him.
00:43:03.14\00:43:04.61
Colossians 2:6, "If
you stand up with Jesus
00:43:04.65\00:43:07.62
but don't walk with Jesus,
you go fallen right back then."
00:43:07.65\00:43:13.02
So what are three key
elements associated with a seal?
00:43:13.05\00:43:16.46
President Barack Obama
00:43:16.49\00:43:18.29
of the United States of America.
00:43:18.33\00:43:20.33
Presidential seal
must contain three things.
00:43:20.36\00:43:24.07
Seal contains three elements,
name, title, territory.
00:43:24.10\00:43:27.50
President Barack
Obama: President, title.
00:43:27.54\00:43:31.31
Name, Barak Obama.
00:43:31.34\00:43:32.67
Territory, of the
United States of America.
00:43:32.71\00:43:37.45
So God seal of
authority is related to Him
00:43:37.48\00:43:40.68
being Creator and
is found in His law.
00:43:40.72\00:43:43.99
King's seal, king's law.
00:43:44.02\00:43:46.45
And so listen to me.
00:43:46.49\00:43:47.82
Is there a
commandment which establishes
00:43:47.86\00:43:50.56
God's authority
as our president?
00:43:50.59\00:43:53.73
What is it called?
00:43:53.76\00:43:55.10
Not president,
he's called creator.
00:43:55.13\00:43:56.67
How many agree
that is as high up
00:43:56.70\00:43:58.03
as you can go?
00:43:58.07\00:44:00.14
Take your Bible and turn with me
00:44:00.17\00:44:01.50
to the Ten Commandments.
00:44:01.54\00:44:03.00
Not the ten suggestions,
the Ten Commandments.
00:44:03.04\00:44:06.21
And first of all, look
here at verse number 8.
00:44:06.24\00:44:10.55
And look at the
last part of 20:6,
00:44:10.58\00:44:13.98
"But showing mercy to thousands
00:44:14.02\00:44:16.08
to those who love me
and keep my commandments."
00:44:16.12\00:44:19.95
Didn't Jesus say the same thing?
00:44:19.99\00:44:21.39
Look at verse 8,
00:44:21.42\00:44:22.76
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:44:22.79\00:44:24.73
Six days you shall
labor and do all your work
00:44:24.76\00:44:26.66
but the seventh day
00:44:26.70\00:44:28.03
is the Sabbath of
the Lord your God."
00:44:28.06\00:44:29.40
Notice there, the
Lord your God, His name.
00:44:29.43\00:44:32.70
"In it you shall do no work.
00:44:32.73\00:44:35.47
You nor your
son, nor your daughter
00:44:35.50\00:44:37.04
nor your male servant
nor your female servant
00:44:37.07\00:44:39.01
nor your cattle nor a
stranger within your gates.
00:44:39.04\00:44:42.08
For in six days
the Lord made..."
00:44:42.11\00:44:45.25
That's His
title, He's our Creator.
00:44:45.28\00:44:49.18
"The heavens and the earth,
00:44:49.22\00:44:50.72
the sea, and all
that is in them."
00:44:50.75\00:44:52.52
That's His territory.
00:44:52.55\00:44:54.56
"And rest of the seventh
day therefore the Lord blessed
00:44:54.59\00:44:56.83
the Sabbath day
and hallowed it."
00:44:56.86\00:44:58.19
This is the royal law.
00:44:58.23\00:45:00.00
So if this is the royal law,
00:45:00.03\00:45:01.56
you ought to expect the
royal sealed to be in it.
00:45:01.60\00:45:05.27
You see, the seal
authenticates the law,
00:45:05.30\00:45:08.14
otherwise doesn't
have any authority with it.
00:45:08.17\00:45:11.54
God says, this is my law.
00:45:11.57\00:45:13.88
Out of the Ten
Commandments it's the only one
00:45:13.91\00:45:15.71
that contains the
three essential elements:
00:45:15.74\00:45:17.61
name, title, territory.
00:45:17.65\00:45:19.01
It's the only
one that identifies
00:45:19.05\00:45:20.98
who gave the Ten Commandments.
00:45:21.02\00:45:22.95
And so we continue.
00:45:22.98\00:45:24.69
This Sabbath
commandment is alluded
00:45:24.72\00:45:26.19
to in the First Angel's
Message of Revelation 14.
00:45:26.22\00:45:29.19
Take a look at this,
00:45:29.22\00:45:30.56
"For in six days the
Lord made heaven and earth,
00:45:30.59\00:45:32.36
the sea and all that is in them,
00:45:32.39\00:45:33.73
and rested the seventh day."
00:45:33.76\00:45:35.40
Now look at Revelation 14:7,
00:45:35.43\00:45:37.60
"Worship Him who
made heaven and earth,
00:45:37.63\00:45:39.23
the sea and the springs of water
00:45:39.27\00:45:40.74
and they keep the
commandments of God."
00:45:40.77\00:45:43.27
It seems to be a hint
00:45:43.30\00:45:45.41
of what happened
in the Garden of Eden,
00:45:45.44\00:45:50.05
in the beginning of time.
00:45:50.08\00:45:51.41
"The Sabbath is
the only commandment
00:45:51.45\00:45:53.05
that reveals the Law Giver."
00:45:53.08\00:45:54.45
"The Sabbath is the
seal of the Living God.
00:45:54.48\00:45:56.79
What is God's special
sign of power and authority?"
00:45:56.82\00:45:59.92
"Moreover also I gave
them my Sabbath, to be a sign."
00:45:59.95\00:46:02.99
Sign and seal are used
interchangeably at times,
00:46:03.02\00:46:05.96
Romans 4:11 says so.
00:46:05.99\00:46:08.20
"Moreover also I
gave them my Sabbath,
00:46:08.23\00:46:10.23
to be a sign or
seal between me and them,
00:46:10.27\00:46:13.17
that they might
know that I am the Lord
00:46:13.20\00:46:16.84
that has the miraculous power
to change you, to save you,
00:46:16.87\00:46:21.68
to sanctify them,
to make them holy."
00:46:21.71\00:46:23.48
Would you agree
if Jesus is saying,
00:46:23.51\00:46:25.28
if God is saying
the Sabbath is my sign
00:46:25.31\00:46:28.35
that I can change your life,
00:46:28.38\00:46:29.95
then that is a
sign of His power,
00:46:29.98\00:46:32.65
the sign that He can create us.
00:46:32.69\00:46:34.52
And David said,
00:46:34.56\00:46:35.89
created me a
clean heart, oh, God.
00:46:35.92\00:46:37.66
Would you agree,
that's creative power?
00:46:37.69\00:46:40.16
Psalms 50:10, "So
the Lord tells us,
00:46:40.20\00:46:43.70
I made you but
now I can remake you."
00:46:43.73\00:46:47.64
And so the Sabbath is a
sign of not only creation
00:46:47.67\00:46:50.91
but of redemption.
00:46:50.94\00:46:52.27
Can you say amen? The
power of Jesus Christ.
00:46:52.31\00:46:54.34
That's why you can't
throw out the Sabbath, why?
00:46:54.38\00:46:56.61
It's right there in
the heart of the gospel.
00:46:56.64\00:46:59.85
Ezekiel 20:12, 20.
00:46:59.88\00:47:03.08
"And receive the
sign of circumcision,
00:47:03.12\00:47:05.05
a seal of
righteousness of the faith."
00:47:05.09\00:47:07.86
Romans 4:11.
00:47:07.89\00:47:09.22
But we are
circumcised in the heart.
00:47:09.26\00:47:11.49
Can you say amen?
00:47:11.53\00:47:12.86
So sign and seal are
used interchangeably.
00:47:12.89\00:47:15.16
So the sign of
Christ power to change us,
00:47:15.20\00:47:17.93
that's the Sabbath.
00:47:17.97\00:47:19.30
So what is
another synonymous term
00:47:19.33\00:47:21.50
used for the seal of God?
00:47:21.54\00:47:22.90
"They shall see His face,
00:47:22.94\00:47:24.27
and His name shall
be on their foreheads."
00:47:24.31\00:47:26.31
Revelation 22:4.
00:47:26.34\00:47:27.98
"Those who are victorious
at last stand on mount Zion,
00:47:28.01\00:47:30.61
having His father's name
written on their foreheads."
00:47:30.65\00:47:33.78
Revelation 14:1.
00:47:33.82\00:47:35.82
So there's four
terms used relatedly:
00:47:35.85\00:47:40.46
Law of God, name of God,
00:47:40.49\00:47:44.56
seal of God, sign of God.
00:47:44.59\00:47:48.63
Powerful.
00:47:48.66\00:47:50.00
The name of God
is found in His law.
00:47:50.03\00:47:53.07
The law all God is a transcript
00:47:53.10\00:47:55.10
of His loving character or name.
00:47:55.14\00:47:57.41
His law is holy, God is holy.
His law is just, God is just.
00:47:57.44\00:48:02.61
His law is love, God is love.
What is the mark of the beast?
00:48:02.64\00:48:10.59
Tomorrow night-- No, here we go.
00:48:10.62\00:48:13.42
What is the mark of the beast?
00:48:13.46\00:48:15.06
It must be a
counterfeit of the seal of God,
00:48:15.09\00:48:18.49
it must be a
counterfeit of the law of God,
00:48:18.53\00:48:21.33
it must be a
counterfeit of the Sabbath.
00:48:21.36\00:48:25.83
Did you hear that? All right.
00:48:25.87\00:48:27.50
I'm going to do this,
00:48:27.54\00:48:28.87
I can do it, I'm
the speaker, all right?
00:48:28.90\00:48:30.51
What is the mark of the beast?
00:48:30.54\00:48:31.87
It must be a
counterfeit of the seal of God.
00:48:31.91\00:48:33.71
It must be a
counterfeit of the law of God.
00:48:33.74\00:48:35.78
It must be a
counterfeit of the Sabbath.
00:48:35.81\00:48:39.25
Remember we're talking
about a symbolic beast, image,
00:48:39.28\00:48:41.88
name, number,
seal, mark, all symbolic.
00:48:41.92\00:48:46.19
Now listen, what is
the mark of the beast?
00:48:46.22\00:48:48.09
It's a sign of the
Roman Church's authority.
00:48:48.12\00:48:50.96
"Popular religious
power plus a popular marker
00:48:50.99\00:48:53.63
or sign of its religious power.
00:48:53.66\00:48:55.66
What does the
Roman Catholic Church
00:48:55.70\00:48:57.13
claim is a sign
of its authority?
00:48:57.17\00:48:58.97
Sunday is our mark of authority.
00:48:59.00\00:49:03.30
The church is above the Bible,
00:49:03.34\00:49:05.27
and this transference
of Sabbath observance
00:49:05.31\00:49:08.31
is proof of that fact."
00:49:08.34\00:49:09.68
Catholic Record, 1923.
00:49:09.71\00:49:12.18
"Of course the
Catholic Church claims
00:49:12.21\00:49:13.95
that the change from
Saturday to Sunday was her act.
00:49:13.98\00:49:16.38
It could not have been
otherwise as none in those days
00:49:16.42\00:49:18.89
would have dreamed of
doing anything in matters
00:49:18.92\00:49:21.39
spiritual and ecclesiastical
and religious without her.
00:49:21.42\00:49:24.86
And the act is
a..." What, everyone?
00:49:24.89\00:49:27.00
"Mark of her ecclesiastical
00:49:27.03\00:49:29.60
power and authority
in religious matters."
00:49:29.63\00:49:31.63
H.F. Thomas,
Chancellor for the Cardinal,
00:49:31.67\00:49:34.37
November 11, 1895,
I believe it is there.
00:49:34.40\00:49:37.61
Sunday is the admitted mark
00:49:37.64\00:49:41.38
of authority of the Papal power.
00:49:41.41\00:49:45.28
You say, Mark, I
didn't know this.
00:49:45.31\00:49:47.05
Most people don't.
00:49:47.08\00:49:49.58
Did the Bible actually predict
00:49:49.62\00:49:51.35
that the Roman papal
power would change the Sabbath?
00:49:51.39\00:49:54.59
Are you ready
for this blockbuster?
00:49:54.62\00:49:57.53
Look to the Book of Daniel.
00:49:57.56\00:49:59.43
Did you learn anything thus far?
00:49:59.46\00:50:02.60
You need to say yes
a little bit louder.
00:50:02.63\00:50:04.67
God is good, isn't He?
Feasting on the word of God.
00:50:07.27\00:50:11.84
Daniel 7:25, speaking
about the bizarre talking horn
00:50:11.87\00:50:18.41
that we have
categorically identified
00:50:18.45\00:50:20.98
as the Roman Papal system.
00:50:21.02\00:50:23.99
"He shall speak pompous
words against the Most High,
00:50:24.02\00:50:27.12
shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:50:27.16\00:50:29.09
and shall intend to
change times and law."
00:50:29.12\00:50:32.99
What is the law of
the Most High called?
00:50:33.03\00:50:34.63
The Ten Commandments.
00:50:34.66\00:50:36.00
Which is the only
one that refers to time?
00:50:36.03\00:50:39.50
Scan the Ten Commandments,
00:50:39.53\00:50:41.04
there's only one
that refers to time.
00:50:41.07\00:50:43.57
The Bible predicted
that the Roman papal power
00:50:43.61\00:50:46.74
would change
the very law of God.
00:50:46.78\00:50:49.14
What did they do
in their catechism?
00:50:49.18\00:50:50.68
They dropped the
second commandment
00:50:50.71\00:50:52.21
that says, don't make
images and bow down to them.
00:50:52.25\00:50:54.98
They split the Tenth Commandment
00:50:55.02\00:50:56.52
about thou shalt not covet
00:50:56.55\00:50:57.92
and conveniently, compromisingly
00:50:57.95\00:50:59.82
made it into two commandments.
00:50:59.85\00:51:01.56
But change number three,
many are not aware of this.
00:51:01.59\00:51:04.79
The Roman Papal
system changed the Sabbath
00:51:04.83\00:51:07.50
from the solemnity of it,
the day that they would honor,
00:51:07.53\00:51:11.37
from Saturday to
Sunday to make Sunday
00:51:11.40\00:51:13.94
the primary day of worship.
00:51:13.97\00:51:15.30
Can I go to church on Sunday?
00:51:15.34\00:51:16.67
Absolutely. We have a seminar.
00:51:16.71\00:51:21.68
What should be my
primary day of worship?
00:51:21.71\00:51:24.88
And the question is,
00:51:24.91\00:51:26.25
what does the
Ten Commandments say?
00:51:26.28\00:51:29.62
And if I look at
the Ten Commandments
00:51:29.65\00:51:30.99
and I hang them up on the wall
00:51:31.02\00:51:33.19
and my children look
at the Ten Commandments
00:51:33.22\00:51:35.66
and they read the
seventh day Sabbath.
00:51:35.69\00:51:37.76
And I say no, no, no,
00:51:37.79\00:51:39.13
it's not the
seventh day anymore.
00:51:39.16\00:51:41.10
And they're scratching
their head thinking why,
00:51:41.13\00:51:43.93
why do those Ten
Commandments need to be--
00:51:43.97\00:51:46.20
You mean, all the other nine--
00:51:46.23\00:51:49.30
Bible says don't add to it,
00:51:49.34\00:51:52.27
and don't take away
from it, Deuteronomy 4:2.
00:51:52.31\00:51:55.84
So the Bible--
00:51:55.88\00:51:57.21
listen, the Bible forecasts
that the Roman Papal system
00:51:57.25\00:52:00.38
would change the commandment
that has to do with times.
00:52:00.42\00:52:05.99
They changed the
seventh day Sabbath.
00:52:06.02\00:52:07.96
So what is the
mark of the beast?
00:52:07.99\00:52:09.32
No one has the mark of the beast
00:52:09.36\00:52:10.89
because there has not
been a universal Sunday law,
00:52:10.93\00:52:15.13
that's tomorrow night.
00:52:15.16\00:52:17.10
So what is the
mark of the beast?
00:52:17.13\00:52:18.63
Daniel 7's Little Horn compare
to Revelation 13's Beast.
00:52:18.67\00:52:22.00
Lion, lion, bear,
bear. Leopard, leopard.
00:52:22.04\00:52:25.67
Terrible iron
teeth creature, dragon.
00:52:25.71\00:52:27.44
Ten horns, ten horns.
00:52:27.48\00:52:28.81
Speaks great
thing, speak blasphemies.
00:52:28.84\00:52:31.01
Reigns 1260
years, reigns 42 months.
00:52:31.05\00:52:33.45
Same time period.
00:52:33.48\00:52:34.82
Change times and laws
equals mark of the beast.
00:52:34.85\00:52:38.75
You'll have a
handout about this.
00:52:38.79\00:52:41.02
Change times and laws
equals mark of the beast
00:52:41.06\00:52:45.09
when it's enforced.
00:52:45.13\00:52:47.10
You mean to tell me
that it will soon be
00:52:47.13\00:52:51.63
against the law to
keep all of the law of God?
00:52:51.67\00:52:57.94
He's coming.
00:52:57.97\00:53:00.44
Everyone will have to
make a decision between
00:53:00.48\00:53:02.74
which law will they keep.
00:53:02.78\00:53:04.35
If you go with God's law,
00:53:04.38\00:53:06.05
you get the seal
that is in his law.
00:53:06.08\00:53:08.72
If you don't go along
with His unchanged law,
00:53:08.75\00:53:11.45
ultimately you will
receive the mark of the law
00:53:11.49\00:53:14.22
that you want to long with.
00:53:14.26\00:53:16.49
So there's a counterfeit law
00:53:16.52\00:53:18.53
and it's the mark of
the beast ultimately.
00:53:18.56\00:53:20.73
when it is
enforced in the near future.
00:53:20.76\00:53:23.30
So no one receives
the mark of the beast
00:53:23.33\00:53:25.73
until it is enforced.
00:53:25.77\00:53:27.67
The most popular day of worship
came from the Church of Rome.
00:53:27.70\00:53:33.01
Why do not more
preachers teach this?
00:53:33.04\00:53:35.98
"They have hidden
their eyes for my Sabbaths."
00:53:36.01\00:53:39.48
They've done it before,
00:53:39.51\00:53:40.85
they're doing it
today, Ezekiel 22:26.
00:53:40.88\00:53:43.75
So most want to
do what is popular.
00:53:43.79\00:53:46.39
Your choice is clear:
00:53:46.42\00:53:47.76
Sabbath, keeping
the commandments of God.
00:53:47.79\00:53:49.92
Sunday:
counterfeiter or contrast.
00:53:49.96\00:53:54.46
Let me read a quote
to you, my time is up.
00:53:54.50\00:53:57.57
"Perhaps the boldest thing,
00:53:57.60\00:53:58.93
the most revolutionary
change the Church ever did,
00:53:58.97\00:54:01.74
happened in the first century.
00:54:01.77\00:54:03.10
The holy day, the Sabbath,
00:54:03.14\00:54:04.47
was changed from
Saturday to Sunday.
00:54:04.51\00:54:06.24
'The day of the
Lord' they're saying,
00:54:06.27\00:54:07.61
dies Dominica,
Dominca was chosen,
00:54:07.64\00:54:10.55
not for any directions
noted in the Scriptures,
00:54:10.58\00:54:12.75
but from the church's
sense of its own power.
00:54:12.78\00:54:15.35
The day of resurrection,
the day of Pentecost,
00:54:15.38\00:54:17.45
fifty days later, came on
the first day of the week.
00:54:17.49\00:54:19.72
So this would be the
new Sabbath, they're saying.
00:54:19.75\00:54:22.66
People who think
that the Scriptures
00:54:22.69\00:54:24.53
should be the sole authority,
should logically become..."
00:54:24.56\00:54:28.06
I'm just reading,
"Seventh day Adventists,
00:54:28.10\00:54:31.23
and keep Saturday holy."
00:54:31.27\00:54:33.90
Sentinel Pastor's page,
Saint Catherine Catholic Church
00:54:33.94\00:54:37.31
there in Michigan, May 21, 1995.
00:54:37.34\00:54:43.11
I was holding a
seminar like this
00:54:43.14\00:54:44.51
in Asheville, North Carolina.
00:54:44.55\00:54:47.75
Beautiful mountains there.
00:54:47.78\00:54:50.39
And one of their
church members comes
00:54:50.42\00:54:51.89
racing into the pastor's study.
00:54:51.92\00:54:54.92
He's out of breath, he
said, Mark, Pastor Fox,
00:54:54.96\00:54:58.79
I got to just tell you
what I saw, I went by--
00:54:58.83\00:55:02.56
Well, church and
there it is on the screen
00:55:02.60\00:55:05.30
and he said, I
notice that it had a sign
00:55:05.33\00:55:07.77
in front of it
about the Sabbath.
00:55:07.80\00:55:09.54
And he told me
about it, and I said,
00:55:09.57\00:55:11.37
could you do me a favor,
00:55:11.41\00:55:12.74
go snap some
pictures and bring them to me.
00:55:12.77\00:55:14.74
And I've been
traveling with them ever since.
00:55:14.78\00:55:17.18
Here's a picture
of the church the name
00:55:17.21\00:55:19.11
has been blocked
to protect the guilty.
00:55:19.15\00:55:23.49
And so there is the
sign out in the front,
00:55:23.52\00:55:27.66
it says, well,
let's get a close up,
00:55:27.69\00:55:30.26
Remember the
Sabbath and keep it holy.
00:55:30.29\00:55:32.99
What day do you
think that not only them
00:55:33.03\00:55:36.33
but many others
are referring to,
00:55:36.36\00:55:38.47
when they think of the day
00:55:38.50\00:55:40.14
that should be
kept as a Sabbath?
00:55:40.17\00:55:41.90
What day do you
think most of thinking of?
00:55:41.94\00:55:43.44
They are thinking about Sunday.
00:55:43.47\00:55:44.91
They're thinking about
the first day of the week.
00:55:44.94\00:55:46.57
Sometimes people say,
it really doesn't matter.
00:55:46.61\00:55:48.44
You mean to tell me
if God wrote something
00:55:48.48\00:55:50.55
in the Ten
Commandments it doesn't matter?
00:55:50.58\00:55:52.98
That's like me
telling my children
00:55:53.01\00:55:55.62
it really doesn't
matter if you obey me.
00:55:55.65\00:55:59.82
Now listen,
remember the Sabbath day
00:55:59.85\00:56:02.72
to keep it holy.
00:56:02.76\00:56:04.09
It's either the
seventh day or the first day.
00:56:04.13\00:56:06.83
I'll give you--
00:56:06.86\00:56:08.20
I'll tell you what
I'll do, I'll give you--
00:56:08.23\00:56:10.17
I don't have it
on me, I never do.
00:56:10.20\00:56:11.87
Anyway, I'll give you $5,000
00:56:11.90\00:56:17.94
if you can come up
with a text that says
00:56:17.97\00:56:21.64
that the first day of the
week is now the Lord's Day.
00:56:21.68\00:56:25.61
It's now the
chosen day that God,
00:56:25.65\00:56:28.08
and he doesn't want to keep
the seventh day God's number.
00:56:28.12\00:56:31.62
He now wants us to keep
the first day of the week.
00:56:31.65\00:56:34.12
And you can show me a
scripture that says that.
00:56:34.16\00:56:36.36
If you can materialize
that scripture I will give you--
00:56:36.39\00:56:40.53
My wife will make
out a check for $5,000.
00:56:40.56\00:56:44.27
And if you cannot come up
00:56:44.30\00:56:45.77
with a scripture
then tomorrow night
00:56:45.80\00:56:47.87
I want you to bring me
$5,000 for my ministry.
00:56:47.90\00:56:53.71
Just a thought.
00:56:53.74\00:56:57.25
I got to close.
00:56:57.28\00:56:58.98
Will the Roman Papal Power
favor a National Sunday Law?
00:56:59.01\00:57:04.32
My next slide is a quote
that will just blow you away,
00:57:04.35\00:57:08.02
that I've given you enough time.
00:57:08.06\00:57:11.09
Jesus says,
00:57:11.13\00:57:14.40
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments."
00:57:14.43\00:57:21.40
Do you love Him?
I believe you do.
00:57:21.44\00:57:25.67
I know many of
you have questions
00:57:25.71\00:57:27.84
and that's
healthy and that's good
00:57:27.88\00:57:30.38
but keep coming.
00:57:30.41\00:57:32.15
Stay tune because the
Lord is on to something.
00:57:32.18\00:57:37.19
Although sudden
and alarming changes
00:57:37.22\00:57:39.29
are sweeping across the globe,
00:57:39.32\00:57:41.39
you and your
family can be prepared
00:57:41.42\00:57:43.29
to face the
future with confidence.
