We are racing towards the
global crisis at the close.
00:00:04.43\00:00:09.50
God is going to set
up His kingdom on earth.
00:00:09.54\00:00:13.81
Preparation for the
tribulation and the translation
00:00:13.84\00:00:17.95
is to develop a
character like Jesus Christ
00:00:17.98\00:00:21.15
to reach every hamlet,
every village, every man,
00:00:21.18\00:00:24.75
every child,
every person in India,
00:00:24.79\00:00:27.12
every person in South America
00:00:27.16\00:00:28.72
must hear these
three angles' messages.
00:00:28.76\00:00:32.29
These are
stories that illustrate
00:00:34.50\00:00:36.93
the kind of fabric of
character and perseverance
00:00:36.97\00:00:39.70
that we need to go
through the tribulation
00:00:39.73\00:00:42.30
just as certainly as they did.
00:00:42.34\00:00:44.21
The Bible makes it
very clear we are living
00:00:44.24\00:00:46.34
in an unusual hour,
the last grains of sand
00:00:46.37\00:00:49.61
are trickling
through the hourglass of time
00:00:49.64\00:00:52.08
and the door probation
is about the swing shot.
00:00:52.11\00:00:55.28
Take your Bible and
turn with me to Revelation,
00:00:59.99\00:01:03.89
Revelation 13:16, 17
00:01:03.93\00:01:09.83
"He causes all,
00:01:09.86\00:01:12.43
both small and great,
rich and poor, free and slave,
00:01:12.47\00:01:16.30
to receive a mark
on their right hand
00:01:16.34\00:01:19.57
or on their foreheads,
00:01:19.61\00:01:21.74
and that no one may buy
or sell" economic boycott,
00:01:21.78\00:01:26.58
economic sanctions
"except one who has the mark
00:01:26.61\00:01:31.05
or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name."
00:01:31.09\00:01:35.02
Is it crystal
clear that very soon
00:01:35.06\00:01:37.79
there will come a
time that governments
00:01:37.83\00:01:41.16
will enforce
worship and the net result
00:01:41.20\00:01:45.33
will be receiving
the mark of the beast
00:01:45.37\00:01:48.57
including the wrath
of God that is poured out
00:01:48.60\00:01:51.91
in seven
instalments in the last days
00:01:51.94\00:01:54.61
upon those who go along
with the mark of the beast,
00:01:54.64\00:01:57.31
the seven last
plagues will be unleashed
00:01:57.35\00:02:01.15
upon those who go
along with the masses,
00:02:01.18\00:02:03.95
go along with the majority,
cave into the pressure,
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.92
buckle under the pressure.
00:02:07.96\00:02:09.92
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:02:09.96\00:02:11.86
we must have the character
and the unswerving integrity
00:02:11.89\00:02:17.17
and the solid commitment to God,
00:02:17.20\00:02:19.37
loyalty to God like
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
00:02:19.40\00:02:23.91
who remain
standing when everyone bowed
00:02:23.94\00:02:28.08
to the cue of
the Babylonian music
00:02:28.11\00:02:30.55
to fall down and
worship that tall imposing image
00:02:30.58\00:02:34.88
that was 90 feet tall.
00:02:34.92\00:02:37.92
And that image
was an image of a man
00:02:37.95\00:02:42.12
and everyone was
to bow down to worship
00:02:42.16\00:02:46.96
that image of a man
instead of worshipping God.
00:02:47.00\00:02:53.07
And so the Bible
makes it very clear
00:02:53.10\00:02:55.60
that the stories of Daniel
00:02:55.64\00:02:58.51
illustrate the prophecies
of Daniel in Revelation.
00:02:58.54\00:03:02.44
The kind of character,
the kind of disposition,
00:03:02.48\00:03:07.45
the kind of belief system,
the kind of moral conviction
00:03:07.48\00:03:11.99
and clear conscience
that was maintained by Daniel
00:03:12.02\00:03:15.66
and by the stalwart
faith of Shadrach, Meshach
00:03:15.69\00:03:19.33
and Abednego must be mirrored
and modeled and followed
00:03:19.36\00:03:24.77
by earth's final
generation of believers.
00:03:24.80\00:03:28.94
Would you agree we
must dare to be a Daniel?
00:03:28.97\00:03:31.24
We must be
willing to be different
00:03:31.27\00:03:34.48
if it cost us our life so be it.
00:03:34.51\00:03:37.31
Now I want you to notice
this calls for heroic faith.
00:03:37.35\00:03:40.88
Notice here in Revelation 14
00:03:40.92\00:03:43.49
there is a warning that is to be
00:03:43.52\00:03:45.65
sounded to
earth's remotest bounds
00:03:45.69\00:03:48.26
and to reach every village,
every town, every mega city
00:03:48.29\00:03:53.46
and every small
little rural town
00:03:53.50\00:03:56.20
must hear the
singular call from God.
00:03:56.23\00:03:59.33
Actually it's the
three angels' messages.
00:03:59.37\00:04:02.17
Angel number one
says, worship the Creator.
00:04:02.20\00:04:05.41
Verse number 6,
"Then I saw another angel
00:04:05.44\00:04:08.11
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:04:08.14\00:04:09.64
having the everlasting
gospel to preach to those
00:04:09.68\00:04:12.21
who dwell on the
earth to every nation,tribe,
00:04:12.25\00:04:15.18
tongue, and people
saying with a loud voice,"
00:04:15.22\00:04:18.09
it's urgent, its compelling.
00:04:18.12\00:04:20.59
"Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:04:20.62\00:04:23.19
for the hour of
His judgment has come,
00:04:23.22\00:04:25.49
and worship Him who
made heaven and earth,
00:04:25.53\00:04:27.93
the sea and springs of water."
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.30
What would you call the person
00:04:29.33\00:04:31.53
who made
everything including us?
00:04:31.60\00:04:33.67
What would you
call Him? Our Creator.
00:04:33.70\00:04:35.84
And so notice here
and verse number 9,
00:04:35.87\00:04:39.94
"Then a third
angel followed them,
00:04:39.97\00:04:41.74
saying with a loud
voice," in contrast
00:04:41.78\00:04:44.35
"If anyone worships
the beast and his image,
00:04:44.38\00:04:49.75
and receives his
mark on his forehead
00:04:49.78\00:04:52.99
or on his hand, he
himself shall also drink
00:04:53.02\00:04:55.22
of the wine of
the wrath of God,"
00:04:55.26\00:04:57.36
in the form of
the seven last plagues
00:04:57.39\00:04:59.16
according to Revelation 15:1.
00:04:59.19\00:05:02.56
"Then I saw
another sign in heaven,
00:05:02.60\00:05:04.13
great and
marvelous, seven angels
00:05:04.17\00:05:05.60
having the seven last plagues,
00:05:05.63\00:05:07.10
for in them the
wrath of God is complete."
00:05:07.14\00:05:09.87
And Revelation 16 goes
through those seven last plaques
00:05:09.90\00:05:14.08
and describes them.
00:05:14.11\00:05:15.51
And so back to Revelation 14:12,
00:05:15.54\00:05:18.68
in verse 12 we see
here a description of those
00:05:18.71\00:05:23.82
who are going to be
preaching these warning messages
00:05:23.85\00:05:27.02
that group of
people that are willing
00:05:27.06\00:05:29.16
to be different,
the modern Shadrach,
00:05:29.19\00:05:31.59
Meshach and Abednego's
00:05:31.63\00:05:33.53
here are those who keep
the Commandments of God.
00:05:33.56\00:05:36.43
So by implication very soon
00:05:36.46\00:05:39.20
those who want to keep
the Commandments of God
00:05:39.23\00:05:41.47
will come under
severe attack by man
00:05:41.50\00:05:45.67
and man made governments.
00:05:45.71\00:05:48.08
I want you to notice here, here
is the patience of the saints.
00:05:48.11\00:05:50.88
Here are those who
keep the Commandments of God
00:05:50.91\00:05:53.28
and the faith of Jesus.
00:05:53.31\00:05:54.98
So we are gonna
have the faith of Jesus,
00:05:55.02\00:05:56.99
we may go through
what Jesus went through.
00:05:57.02\00:05:59.35
Didn't He say, if they
hated Me they will hate you.
00:05:59.39\00:06:03.39
If I had to carry my cross,
00:06:03.43\00:06:05.23
Jesus said if
you want to follow Me
00:06:05.26\00:06:07.20
deny yourself and take
up the cross and follow Me,
00:06:07.23\00:06:11.37
Luke 9:23 and Matthew 16:24.
00:06:11.40\00:06:14.60
So the Bible makes it very clear
00:06:14.64\00:06:16.44
you cannot serve two
masters, Matthew 6:24.
00:06:16.47\00:06:19.94
So either we will on the
one hand worship the Creator
00:06:19.97\00:06:23.01
and keep the
Creator's commandments
00:06:23.04\00:06:24.81
and worship as God
wants us to worship
00:06:24.85\00:06:27.55
or we will go
along with false worship,
00:06:27.58\00:06:30.69
worshipping man made traditions,
00:06:30.72\00:06:32.99
worshipping man's
revisions, worshipping man
00:06:33.02\00:06:36.32
who made revisions
and the law of God.
00:06:36.36\00:06:38.96
So either we are
gonna keep the law of God
00:06:38.99\00:06:40.96
in its original unchanged form,
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.33
I the Lord, I change not,
Malachi 3:6 or we will go along
00:06:43.37\00:06:48.27
with man made
alterations in the law of God.
00:06:48.30\00:06:53.24
Now watch this,
my Bible tells me
00:06:53.27\00:06:57.35
that if you go
along with violating
00:06:57.38\00:07:01.38
the commandments of
God and having a spurious
00:07:01.42\00:07:04.72
or counterfeit faith
of Jesus-- how many agree
00:07:04.75\00:07:06.92
there is a
counterfeit faith of Jesus?
00:07:06.96\00:07:09.72
Oh, I love Jesus
but on judgment day
00:07:09.76\00:07:12.09
I never knew you
would depart from me,
00:07:12.13\00:07:13.56
you who work inequity.
00:07:13.60\00:07:14.93
Would you agree that
was a counterfeit faith?
00:07:14.96\00:07:16.83
Matthew 7:21-23.
00:07:16.87\00:07:19.27
My Bible says in the
last days of earth's history
00:07:19.30\00:07:22.17
God will have a
people that are not
00:07:22.20\00:07:25.34
by necessity
different and its remnant
00:07:25.37\00:07:29.18
they are different and
I want you to notice here
00:07:29.21\00:07:31.11
they keep the
Commandments of God
00:07:31.15\00:07:32.75
that never has
been the majority.
00:07:32.78\00:07:36.22
Never has and never will.
00:07:36.25\00:07:38.35
God's people are known
00:07:38.39\00:07:41.12
for uplifting the
Commandments of God
00:07:41.16\00:07:43.46
even though
everybody is going along
00:07:43.49\00:07:45.06
with worship to the
beast and the beast is the one
00:07:45.09\00:07:49.36
who tampered
with the law of God.
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.50
So the Bible
makes it very clear,
00:07:51.53\00:07:53.40
God will have a
people that preach
00:07:53.44\00:07:56.44
and unpopular
message, worship the Creator
00:07:56.47\00:08:00.11
have genuine faith in Jesus
00:08:00.14\00:08:02.18
that leads to keeping
the Commandments of God
00:08:02.21\00:08:04.65
even when its against the
law to keep the unchanged law,
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.92
it will require endurance.
00:08:07.95\00:08:10.22
How many want to be
among that group of people?
00:08:10.25\00:08:13.22
And so Bible makes it very clear
00:08:13.25\00:08:14.96
that God will have
a people that do that.
00:08:14.99\00:08:18.13
Now listen carefully,
00:08:18.16\00:08:20.13
could there be
00:08:20.16\00:08:22.33
a national Sunday
law in the near future?
00:08:22.36\00:08:29.54
Now if you miss some of
our previous presentations
00:08:29.57\00:08:33.38
this may be kind of
way out there so to speak
00:08:33.41\00:08:37.68
but I want you to consider this.
00:08:37.71\00:08:40.15
Very soon it will
be against the law
00:08:40.18\00:08:43.55
to keep the unchanged law.
00:08:43.59\00:08:46.62
Now you got to think about it,
00:08:46.65\00:08:48.46
the average Christian hands down
00:08:48.49\00:08:51.09
is most Christians are
gonna be unanimous in supporting
00:08:51.13\00:08:56.40
nine out of the
ten commands hands down
00:08:56.43\00:08:59.70
and you could
just do a check list,
00:08:59.73\00:09:01.07
have no other
God's before me, check.
00:09:01.10\00:09:03.61
Don't make images
and bow down to them.
00:09:03.64\00:09:05.17
Now in the Catholic
Catechism, Lutheran Catechism
00:09:05.21\00:09:07.51
they have dropped that one.
00:09:07.54\00:09:08.88
So many Catholics and Lutherans
might have an issue with that
00:09:08.91\00:09:11.81
but the predominant
number of Christians would say,
00:09:11.85\00:09:14.42
come on, come on let's
keep going, check, check.
00:09:14.45\00:09:16.85
Have no other
God's before me, check.
00:09:16.89\00:09:19.45
You know, don't make images
and bow down to them, check.
00:09:19.49\00:09:23.02
Don't take His
name in vain, check.
00:09:23.06\00:09:24.46
Let's get the fourth
by my illustration here,
00:09:24.49\00:09:27.93
fifth, honor
father and mother, check.
00:09:27.96\00:09:29.60
And just write on down the line.
00:09:29.63\00:09:32.43
But escape on, the
fourth commandment,
00:09:32.47\00:09:34.10
the one that begins
with the word remember
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.90
most Christians have a challenge
00:09:35.94\00:09:39.11
to either keep it or
understand which day it is.
00:09:39.14\00:09:43.21
The Bible says,
00:09:43.24\00:09:44.58
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:09:44.61\00:09:46.11
Six days shalt thou
labor, and do all thy work
00:09:46.15\00:09:48.25
but the seventh day
00:09:48.28\00:09:49.62
is the Sabbath
of the Lord thy God,
00:09:49.65\00:09:51.89
in it thou
shalt not do any work,
00:09:51.92\00:09:54.46
thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy manservant,
00:09:54.49\00:09:58.69
nor thy
maidservant, nor thy cattle,
00:09:58.73\00:10:00.26
nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates,
00:10:00.30\00:10:02.26
for in six days the
Lord made heaven and earth,
00:10:02.30\00:10:04.97
the sea, and
all that in them is,
00:10:05.00\00:10:06.53
and rested the seventh day,
00:10:06.57\00:10:08.30
wherefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day,
00:10:08.34\00:10:10.61
and hallowed
it," Exodus 20:8-11.
00:10:10.64\00:10:13.48
And so you ask the
average Christian okay,
00:10:13.51\00:10:15.34
can you go and check it?
00:10:15.38\00:10:17.68
Well, guess what
according to the research here
00:10:17.71\00:10:22.65
and I'm reading a
little magazine here,
00:10:22.68\00:10:25.19
I recommend
this magazine, it's--
00:10:25.22\00:10:28.66
I can go here
to the front cover,
00:10:28.69\00:10:30.29
it's called
"Signs of the Times."
00:10:30.33\00:10:32.46
I urge you to get

00:10:40.44\00:10:41.97
I highly
recommend this powerful,
00:10:42.00\00:10:44.11
one of my
favorite magazines to get.
00:10:44.14\00:10:46.44
And it has a quotes here,
00:10:46.47\00:10:49.34
source a web based
poll by WorldNetDaily.
00:10:49.38\00:10:53.98
Listen to this,
which Day is the Sabbath?
00:10:54.02\00:10:57.75
Twenty four percent say, Sunday.
00:10:57.79\00:11:01.46
Sunday is not the
seventh day of the week
00:11:01.49\00:11:02.99
but the Bible says
in Ten Commandments,
00:11:03.02\00:11:04.89
I don't know, but
24 percent say Sunday.
00:11:04.93\00:11:07.46
Now keep in mind
God loves everyone,
00:11:07.50\00:11:09.66
that doesn't mean
that people who keep Sunday
00:11:09.70\00:11:11.50
you are gonna be lost or people,
00:11:11.53\00:11:12.87
you know, God
looks down on them.
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.24
No, no, no, if we
are following the light
00:11:14.27\00:11:16.77
that God gives to us at times
of ignorance He winks at it
00:11:16.81\00:11:20.28
but He doesn't
want us to stay there,
00:11:20.31\00:11:22.14
He wants us to know the truth
00:11:22.18\00:11:23.78
and the truth shall
set us free, John 8:32.
00:11:23.81\00:11:26.21
Now listen carefully,
which day is the Sabbath?
00:11:26.25\00:11:29.75
Twenty four percent say, Sunday.
00:11:29.78\00:11:31.69
Saturday, 17.4
percent say Sabbath is--
00:11:31.72\00:11:36.36
Saturday is the Sabbath.
00:11:36.39\00:11:38.26
Can't be sure, 8.2 percent.
Any day one chooses, 6.5.
00:11:38.29\00:11:43.77
No Christian
Sabbath, 5.92 percent.
00:11:43.80\00:11:46.97
It's irrelevant 1.4 percent.
00:11:47.00\00:11:49.64
Would you agree it's a
whole religious smorgasbord?
00:11:49.67\00:11:53.07
It's a whole
buffet of interpretations
00:11:53.11\00:11:55.91
about something that
should be a no brainier,
00:11:55.94\00:11:58.35
it's no rocket science,
it's very simple, its plain.
00:11:58.38\00:12:01.85
The bible says in Habakkuk 2:2,
it says there make it plain.
00:12:01.88\00:12:05.75
Would you agree when Jesus
was here He simplified it all.
00:12:05.79\00:12:09.82
And Jesus said the
Sabbath was made for man.
00:12:09.86\00:12:13.96
And it says
there in Mark 2:27, 28,
00:12:14.00\00:12:16.80
Mark 2:28 He continues,
00:12:16.83\00:12:18.47
He says The Son of man is
also Lord of the Sabbath."
00:12:18.50\00:12:24.24
Well, if he is
Lord of the Sabbath
00:12:24.27\00:12:26.07
then the Sabbath is whose day?
00:12:26.11\00:12:28.14
The Lord's day.
That's now Sunday.
00:12:28.18\00:12:30.21
Jesus died and rested
in the tomb on the day
00:12:30.25\00:12:33.48
before the resurrection
and it calls that day
00:12:33.52\00:12:35.85
in which He rested on the tomb
00:12:35.88\00:12:37.69
by divine
purpose, by divine will.
00:12:37.72\00:12:40.56
What happened?
Rested in the tomb.
00:12:40.59\00:12:44.03
Rested in the tomb.
00:12:44.06\00:12:45.39
So even in His death, in
His life, in His teachings,
00:12:45.43\00:12:48.33
in His death and even
and the earth made new
00:12:48.36\00:12:51.03
you got the Sabbath
uplifted by Jesus Christ,
00:12:51.07\00:12:54.47
and that's Luke 23:54,
55, Chapter 24 verse 1,
00:12:54.50\00:12:59.31
it gives us a sequence
of the crucifixion weekend.
00:12:59.34\00:13:02.01
Jesus died on the
day before the Sabbath
00:13:02.04\00:13:06.08
known as a preparation
day, the Bible calls it that
00:13:06.11\00:13:08.58
and then the Sabbath
day rested in the tomb,
00:13:08.62\00:13:11.15
on the seventh day that
Saturday, Roman calendar,
00:13:11.19\00:13:13.52
the Gregorian
calendar that we have today,
00:13:13.66\00:13:15.36
Saturday seventh day
Webster's dictionary.
00:13:15.39\00:13:17.79
Saturday seventh
day encyclopedia.
00:13:17.83\00:13:19.79
Saturday seventh day.
00:13:19.83\00:13:21.16
So there is no question Sunday
is the day of the resurrection
00:13:21.20\00:13:25.53
but it comes after the Sabbath.
00:13:25.57\00:13:27.64
God never told us, all right,
00:13:27.67\00:13:29.80
now that Jesus
has been resurrected
00:13:29.84\00:13:31.57
Jesus never said, I'm
changing this commandment.
00:13:31.61\00:13:34.84
I'm changing it.
00:13:34.88\00:13:36.34
Would you agree if
Jesus in the first place,
00:13:36.38\00:13:38.78
if the Lord Himself
in first place came down
00:13:38.81\00:13:41.45
and gave the Ten
Commandments amidst lightening
00:13:41.48\00:13:44.62
and fire on the
mountain and an earthquake
00:13:44.65\00:13:46.62
and the voice of God was so loud
00:13:46.65\00:13:48.59
and so authoritative
that the people say,
00:13:48.62\00:13:51.03
could you please tell
the Lord not to talk anymore?
00:13:51.06\00:13:54.13
Talk through you Moses,
but please don't let Him talk.
00:13:54.16\00:13:58.90
Would you agree if
one of those commandments
00:13:58.93\00:14:00.94
was gonna be changed
it would not be hinted,
00:14:00.97\00:14:05.17
it would be plain and powerful.
00:14:05.21\00:14:08.54
Wow, God has changed
one of the Ten Commandments.
00:14:08.58\00:14:11.65
Would you agree that just says,
00:14:11.68\00:14:13.11
no, no pun intended as
monumental as you can get.
00:14:13.15\00:14:19.55
And so there is
so much confusion
00:14:19.59\00:14:22.06
but God is not the
altar of confusion,
00:14:22.09\00:14:24.19
1 Corinthians 14:33,
confusion is not from God.
00:14:24.23\00:14:28.46
Man makes perplexing
well, God, makes plain.
00:14:28.50\00:14:32.80
Man makes
complicated but God makes clear.
00:14:32.83\00:14:35.20
Man ways twisted
but God makes straight.
00:14:35.24\00:14:37.54
Are you with me
tonight thus far?
00:14:37.57\00:14:38.94
The Sabbath is one
of the Ten Commandments,
00:14:38.97\00:14:42.38
ten fingers, ten toes.
00:14:42.41\00:14:43.88
So you ask the
average Christian,
00:14:43.91\00:14:45.28
hey, how many
commandments you believe in?
00:14:45.31\00:14:47.95
Oh, yeah, I believe
in the Ten Commandments.
00:14:47.98\00:14:49.75
You know, we got
them hang them up
00:14:49.78\00:14:51.39
in our bedroom of our children.
00:14:51.42\00:14:53.12
So but yeah, I believe
in the Ten Commandments.
00:14:53.15\00:14:54.99
All right, let's go to them.
Walk over the Ten Commandments.
00:14:55.02\00:14:57.03
All right, let's do
it. We will checklist here.
00:14:57.06\00:14:59.89
The one that begins
with the word remember
00:14:59.93\00:15:02.13
is the most
forgotten commandment
00:15:02.16\00:15:04.33
and this is the
most forgotten day.
00:15:04.37\00:15:09.17
And so no wonder there would
be a calling in the last days,
00:15:09.20\00:15:12.01
comeback to keeping
the Commandments of God,
00:15:12.04\00:15:14.38
comeback to
worshipping the Creator
00:15:14.41\00:15:16.98
because the seventh day is
a reminder who created you.
00:15:17.01\00:15:21.22
So if there is a clearing
call in the Book of Revelation
00:15:21.25\00:15:23.69
to coming back to
worshiping the Creator
00:15:23.72\00:15:26.42
as He specified
in His commandments,
00:15:26.45\00:15:28.62
would you agree
worshipping the Creator
00:15:28.66\00:15:30.16
would include
obeying your Creator
00:15:30.19\00:15:32.99
and keep His Ten Commandments.
00:15:33.03\00:15:34.36
After all when you
get before the Lord
00:15:34.40\00:15:36.63
and you say oh, Lord, bless me.
00:15:36.67\00:15:39.50
Oh, Lord, I want to follow you.
00:15:39.53\00:15:40.87
Would you agree
00:15:40.90\00:15:42.24
the Ten
Commandments are right there?
00:15:42.27\00:15:43.61
There is a reminder love of God.
00:15:43.64\00:15:45.81
Jesus said, if you love
Me, keep My commandments.
00:15:45.84\00:15:49.71
The Bible says, "He
that turneth away his ear
00:15:49.74\00:15:53.08
from hearing the law, even
his prayer is an abomination."
00:15:53.11\00:15:57.22
You know why?
00:15:57.25\00:15:58.59
Because it's not
holding up holy hands.
00:15:58.62\00:16:02.39
The Bible talks
about in Timothy,
00:16:02.42\00:16:03.93
it talks about
holding up holy hands.
00:16:03.96\00:16:06.23
That means your
heart is in the lamb,
00:16:06.26\00:16:08.63
that God will have a people
that worship Him in spirit
00:16:08.66\00:16:11.83
and in truth, John Chapter 4.
00:16:11.87\00:16:13.67
And so I want
you to notice here,
00:16:13.70\00:16:16.00
the showdown text is
coming and the context
00:16:16.04\00:16:19.54
is in regard to
obedience to the law of God
00:16:19.57\00:16:21.94
or disobedience
to the law of God.
00:16:21.98\00:16:23.75
Oh, I'm under grace.
00:16:23.78\00:16:25.11
Grace will lead you,
not the disgrace will of God
00:16:25.15\00:16:28.35
but to say Lord,
write it in my heart,
00:16:28.38\00:16:30.29
new covenant, Hebrews 8:10.
00:16:30.32\00:16:32.85
He writes the law in my heart.
00:16:32.89\00:16:34.82
Where is Jesus
standing right now?
00:16:34.86\00:16:36.83
Revelation 11:19 says,
00:16:36.86\00:16:39.09
He is standing by
the Ark of the Covenant.
00:16:39.13\00:16:41.03
What is in the
Ark of the Covenant?
00:16:41.06\00:16:42.66
The Ten Commandments.
00:16:42.70\00:16:44.03
You cannot separate Jesus
from His Ten Commandments.
00:16:44.07\00:16:46.63
Can you say amen?
While He is standing by.
00:16:46.67\00:16:49.94
And if He is standing by them
I say, let's stand for them.
00:16:49.97\00:16:53.71
Can you say amen?
00:16:53.74\00:16:55.08
But notice it's the mercy
seat is above the law of God
00:16:55.11\00:16:57.71
so we are under
the mercy of God.
00:16:57.75\00:16:59.65
But that mercy
doesn't throw out the law.
00:16:59.68\00:17:01.98
Instead the Bible
says very clearly,
00:17:02.02\00:17:04.65
if you have faith in Jesus
00:17:04.69\00:17:06.49
faith upholds
the law, Romans 3:31.
00:17:06.52\00:17:11.56
So I want you to
notice her beloved,
00:17:11.59\00:17:13.66
that a national
Sunday law would conflict
00:17:13.70\00:17:16.83
with the law of God
and it would conflict
00:17:16.87\00:17:19.43
with the seventh day
that is a sign of who made us.
00:17:19.47\00:17:23.30
And did you know in 1888,
00:17:23.34\00:17:25.24
I share this with
you our previous night.
00:17:25.27\00:17:27.94
In 1888 Senator
Blair of New Hampshire
00:17:27.98\00:17:30.51
issued a bill in
the United States Senate
00:17:30.55\00:17:32.38
for a National Sunday Law.
00:17:32.41\00:17:33.75
It did not pass this time.
00:17:33.78\00:17:35.48
And yet
fast-forward 1998 Dies Domini,
00:17:35.52\00:17:39.49
the Lord Day for
Pope John Paul II
00:17:39.52\00:17:42.52
issued this powerful,
blockbuster, hard hitting
00:17:42.56\00:17:47.60
admonition this letter is
in cyclical that he issued,
00:17:47.63\00:17:52.63
I mean, come on
now this made news.
00:17:52.67\00:17:54.87
"Christians will
naturally strive to ensure that
00:17:54.90\00:17:58.07
civil legislation
respects their duty
00:17:58.11\00:18:01.28
to keep Sunday holy."
00:18:01.31\00:18:03.14
Could it be that the
most influential spokesman,
00:18:03.18\00:18:09.25
the most
influential religious spokesman,
00:18:09.28\00:18:12.45
would you grant me that the Pope
00:18:12.49\00:18:13.82
is the most
influential religious spokesman?
00:18:13.86\00:18:17.36
Could it be that
this will continue
00:18:17.39\00:18:20.00
that the previous
Pope and this Pope
00:18:20.03\00:18:22.86
and any other future
Pope will continue to tout
00:18:22.90\00:18:26.50
the importance and the
benefits of keep Sunday holy?
00:18:26.53\00:18:30.54
Now, come now talk
about a ripple effect.
00:18:30.57\00:18:32.87
All right, now
let's rewind and play.
00:18:32.91\00:18:35.71
Are there-- have
there been in the history
00:18:35.74\00:18:38.35
of the United
States Sunday Blue Laws?
00:18:38.38\00:18:40.22
Yeah.
00:18:40.25\00:18:41.58
Are they still
on many state books?
00:18:41.62\00:18:43.72
Yeah.
00:18:43.75\00:18:45.09
But have they
become kind of antiquated
00:18:45.12\00:18:46.76
and kind of collecting
dust and kind of forgotten?
00:18:46.79\00:18:48.76
Yeah.
00:18:48.79\00:18:50.13
Could that change overnight?
00:18:50.16\00:18:51.49
Come on now, if
there is one thing
00:18:51.53\00:18:53.03
this generation knows is
that go to sleep tonight,
00:18:53.06\00:18:56.77
wake up
tomorrow, you may not know,
00:18:56.80\00:18:58.93
you may not
recognize your world.
00:18:58.97\00:19:02.57
Sunday closing laws,
00:19:02.60\00:19:03.94
are Blue Laws,
have a long history.
00:19:03.97\00:19:05.31
In the United States,
00:19:05.34\00:19:06.68
Blue Laws date back
to the Colonial times
00:19:06.71\00:19:08.41
and I shared that with you.
00:19:08.44\00:19:09.78
So are we racing
toward the mark of the beast?
00:19:09.81\00:19:11.45
What is the mark of the beast?
00:19:11.48\00:19:12.85
It's a mark of the authority
of the Roman papal power.
00:19:12.88\00:19:16.72
What is the mark
of their authority?
00:19:16.75\00:19:18.59
They tell us what it is.
00:19:18.62\00:19:20.36
The fact that they
change the law of God.
00:19:20.39\00:19:23.56
And the Bible says in 2
00:19:23.59\00:19:25.26
Thessalonians
Chapter, 2, 3 and 4,
00:19:25.29\00:19:27.46
that this papal power
would act like its God
00:19:27.50\00:19:32.10
and it would be with worship,
00:19:32.13\00:19:35.17
it would be in
combination with worship
00:19:35.20\00:19:37.24
would agreeing
changing the law of God
00:19:37.27\00:19:40.71
would be acting like you are God
00:19:40.74\00:19:43.41
who alone could change His law.
00:19:43.45\00:19:46.45
And so God does not
endorse this, He condemns it.
00:19:46.48\00:19:50.02
And to go along with it
would be to follow the beast
00:19:50.05\00:19:53.49
either knowingly or unknowingly.
00:19:53.52\00:19:57.23
Now times of
ignorance God is very patient.
00:19:57.26\00:20:00.20
But are we racing
toward the mark of the beast.
00:20:00.23\00:20:02.50
The Bible makes it very
clear, sound the alarm in Zion.
00:20:02.53\00:20:05.10
Do not worship the beast
00:20:05.13\00:20:06.53
or you will receive
the mark of the beast.
00:20:06.57\00:20:08.40
So beware of the
mark of the beast,
00:20:08.44\00:20:11.17
Revelation 13:16,
17, makes that clear.
00:20:11.21\00:20:15.01
So it will be popular,
00:20:15.04\00:20:16.81
is Sunday-- is Sunday observant,
00:20:16.85\00:20:21.68
Sunday sacredness,
Sunday worship, is it popular?
00:20:21.72\00:20:24.99
You say now, Mark,
00:20:25.02\00:20:26.35
you're starting
to make me nervous.
00:20:26.39\00:20:27.72
Starting to step on my toes
because I was raised that way
00:20:27.76\00:20:30.96
and I believe God accepts me
00:20:30.99\00:20:32.69
and so-- absolutely, absolutely,
00:20:32.73\00:20:37.23
there will be many people
who kept Sunday and then died,
00:20:37.27\00:20:42.17
resurrected and are
gonna go to be with the law.
00:20:42.20\00:20:46.24
But you know, what
they are gonna find out
00:20:46.27\00:20:47.61
in heaven, Isaiah 66:22, 23,
00:20:47.64\00:20:50.61
that everyone in
heaven keeps the Sabbath.
00:20:50.65\00:20:54.02
And if you are
gonna keep it in heaven
00:20:54.05\00:20:55.52
you may as well get
used to it down here.
00:20:55.55\00:20:59.49
Can you look to your
neighbor and just smile?
00:20:59.52\00:21:03.12
So therefore everyone
will either displease man
00:21:03.16\00:21:08.33
or displease God.
00:21:08.36\00:21:10.07
My, what you do with this issue?
00:21:10.13\00:21:11.93
If you worship the beast
you get the mark of the beast.
00:21:11.97\00:21:14.30
You get the seven last
plagues. You go to hell fire.
00:21:14.34\00:21:16.27
Mark, are you saying
00:21:16.30\00:21:17.64
that if I keep Sunday
and going to hell fire?
00:21:17.67\00:21:19.01
No, no, no, no, no.
00:21:19.04\00:21:20.38
I'm saying that when
a national Sunday law
00:21:20.41\00:21:23.88
is in enforced
and you know better
00:21:23.91\00:21:26.78
that's a different issue.
00:21:26.82\00:21:29.08
Say well, Mark, then I wish
I never came to these meetings
00:21:29.12\00:21:31.55
and I wouldn't know.
00:21:31.59\00:21:34.89
I want you to think about that.
00:21:34.92\00:21:36.49
You say, how did you
know what I was thinking?
00:21:36.52\00:21:39.16
Because here is the thing,
00:21:39.19\00:21:41.66
would you rather know the truth
00:21:41.70\00:21:44.77
and be set free to
know what pleases God
00:21:44.80\00:21:50.47
and to know the truth
for earth's final hour
00:21:50.51\00:21:53.44
and how to get ready for
the soon return of Christ
00:21:53.48\00:21:55.74
and be able to help
others to know this truth
00:21:55.78\00:21:58.41
even though it's unpopular?
00:21:58.45\00:22:01.42
Let me tell you something,
00:22:01.45\00:22:03.02
if you have the spirit of
Christ your quest is always,
00:22:03.05\00:22:06.89
you're longing,
you're insatiable appetite
00:22:06.92\00:22:10.03
is I want truth, I want more,
I don't care what it cost me,
00:22:10.06\00:22:13.70
I don't care what
change I have to make,
00:22:13.73\00:22:15.43
I will do it just
tell me the truth, Lord.
00:22:15.46\00:22:19.33
After all if you love
Jesus, you just want Jesus to be
00:22:19.37\00:22:24.04
in control of every dimension,
every facet of your life
00:22:24.07\00:22:27.11
and you have decided
no church can save me,
00:22:27.14\00:22:29.88
no religion can save me,
only a personal relationship
00:22:29.91\00:22:33.58
with Jesus Christ
and being in harmony
00:22:33.62\00:22:36.28
with His on going
revelation of His will
00:22:36.32\00:22:40.42
as I continue to study His word.
00:22:40.46\00:22:42.36
How many agree, you
just keep learning more
00:22:42.39\00:22:44.59
which means that you
got to keep following
00:22:44.63\00:22:46.56
whatever He says.
00:22:46.59\00:22:47.93
How many agree
if He wants to call
00:22:47.96\00:22:49.30
for a change in your
life He is in charge not you?
00:22:49.33\00:22:52.83
So if you
receive the Seal of God
00:22:52.87\00:22:54.24
and refuse the
Mark of the Beast,
00:22:54.27\00:22:55.60
you cannot buy or sell
00:22:55.64\00:22:57.14
and you get
threatened with a death decree.
00:22:57.17\00:22:59.47
So who are the two primary
00:22:59.51\00:23:01.14
movers and
shakers of the end events?
00:23:01.18\00:23:03.24
All right, there are
two beasts in Revelation 13.
00:23:03.28\00:23:07.82
Protestant reformers
categorically declared
00:23:07.85\00:23:10.89
that the Roman papal
system is the antichrist beast.
00:23:10.92\00:23:16.96
We echo that
tonight. We believe that.
00:23:16.99\00:23:20.33
We believe that there
is verification for that.
00:23:20.36\00:23:22.46
We believe there is substantial
conformation of that as you,
00:23:22.50\00:23:26.53
as you review the
chief characteristics
00:23:26.57\00:23:29.70
of Revelation Chapter 13s
first beast what's stands out,
00:23:29.74\00:23:34.88
we are in world
relief are some key features,
00:23:34.91\00:23:39.71
some key marks
of this first beast,
00:23:39.75\00:23:42.68
this composite beast and
by looking at that profile
00:23:42.72\00:23:48.12
you're able to absolutely
without any doubt nail down
00:23:48.16\00:23:54.10
with precision who
is this antichrist.
00:23:54.13\00:23:56.87
How many agree He can't guess
00:23:56.90\00:23:58.23
about these life
and death issues?
00:23:58.27\00:23:59.60
This is not something you sit
00:23:59.63\00:24:00.97
around the coffee
table and sip coffee,
00:24:01.00\00:24:02.40
hey, who you think
the mark of the beast is
00:24:02.44\00:24:04.04
or what the
mark of the beast is?
00:24:04.07\00:24:05.41
Who you think is the antichrist?
00:24:05.44\00:24:06.78
I don't know. Oh,
well, didn't really matter.
00:24:06.81\00:24:09.14
Ho-hum.
00:24:09.18\00:24:11.11
You know, this is
urgent. This is urgent.
00:24:11.15\00:24:14.08
How many of senses you
would come out night by night?
00:24:14.12\00:24:16.12
There is a sense of
joy and leaning truth
00:24:16.15\00:24:18.72
but there is a
sense of solemnity.
00:24:18.75\00:24:20.99
Would you agree?
00:24:21.02\00:24:22.36
So there are two beasts
in Revelation Chapter 13.
00:24:22.39\00:24:25.19
The first the Roman papal power,
00:24:25.23\00:24:27.00
the most influential
religious system in the world.
00:24:27.03\00:24:33.34
Next to that, the
United States of America
00:24:33.37\00:24:38.07
that was the
cradle for Protestantism
00:24:38.11\00:24:43.78
and to support Protestantism
00:24:43.81\00:24:46.72
and the
principles of Protestantism.
00:24:46.75\00:24:50.32
Now what does the beast
symbolize in Bible prophecy?
00:24:50.35\00:24:53.12
Well, according to Daniel 7,
00:24:53.15\00:24:55.16
a beast equals
kingdoms or nations.
00:24:55.19\00:24:58.26
All of the
kingdoms of Daniel 7 emerged
00:24:58.29\00:25:01.23
from the tumultuous waters.
00:25:01.26\00:25:03.00
In Bible prophecy water
equals people, multitudes,
00:25:03.03\00:25:07.34
nations and
tongues, Revelation 17:15.
00:25:07.37\00:25:10.77
Put it all together
these nations would be arising
00:25:10.81\00:25:13.88
from the clashes
and the sea of people
00:25:13.91\00:25:16.31
and then one nation comes up,
00:25:16.34\00:25:18.01
Babylon,
Meta-Persia, Greece and Rome
00:25:18.05\00:25:20.25
and then the divisions
of the pagan Roman Empire
00:25:20.28\00:25:22.42
by the ten horns.
00:25:22.45\00:25:23.79
Now follow along
carefully with me.
00:25:23.82\00:25:26.35
The first beast
of Revelation 13,
00:25:26.39\00:25:28.66
it's a Roman power, the
Vatican has its capital in Rome.
00:25:28.69\00:25:32.76
It's a system of worship
00:25:32.79\00:25:34.80
the Roman papal
system is religious.
00:25:34.83\00:25:37.57
Blasphemy, and you know
that the papal system claims
00:25:37.60\00:25:41.24
you should confess to a priest.
00:25:41.27\00:25:43.14
Persecutes during the Dark Ages,
00:25:43.17\00:25:45.04
50 million
people lost their lives
00:25:45.07\00:25:46.88
because during that time
there was a rein of terror
00:25:46.91\00:25:50.81
when the mother church,
the Roman papal system ruled.
00:25:50.85\00:25:53.95
Then in addition to that
00:25:53.98\00:25:55.88
during the Dark Ages this have--
00:25:55.92\00:25:59.82
this power had a political rein,
00:25:59.85\00:26:02.62
political
supremacy for 1,260 years
00:26:02.66\00:26:05.83
before it would
have a major setback
00:26:05.86\00:26:08.46
when the Pope was
taken into captivity.
00:26:08.50\00:26:10.80
The Bible
predicted that would receive
00:26:10.83\00:26:13.03
and inflict a deadly wound.
00:26:13.07\00:26:14.97
That happened when
Napoleon dispatched
00:26:15.00\00:26:17.34
his General Berthier,
sent him down to the Vatican,
00:26:17.37\00:26:20.04
capture Pope Pius
VI, took him to exile
00:26:20.08\00:26:23.01
where that Pope died
00:26:23.04\00:26:24.55
about a year and half
later in Valence, France
00:26:24.58\00:26:27.62
and it was declared
the last Pope is rein.
00:26:27.65\00:26:31.52
The Bible went on to predict it,
00:26:31.55\00:26:32.99
Revelation 13:3 that the
deadly wound would be healed.
00:26:33.02\00:26:36.93
Now what you have today
fast-forward from that time,
00:26:36.96\00:26:39.53
what do you have today?
00:26:39.56\00:26:40.90
Watch your evening
news and would you agree
00:26:40.93\00:26:43.37
that the Roman papal
power still has power
00:26:43.40\00:26:47.67
and the power is
growing not weaning.
00:26:47.70\00:26:51.07
And so listen carefully,
all roads lead to papal Rome.
00:26:51.11\00:26:55.58
So who are the two
beasts in Revelation 13?
00:26:55.61\00:26:58.88
The first beast is the papacy,
00:26:58.91\00:27:00.55
the second beast is
United States of America
00:27:00.58\00:27:03.52
as we will see
confirmed in a moment.
00:27:03.55\00:27:05.55
So what is the
mark of the beast?
00:27:05.59\00:27:07.32
"Sunday is our
mark of authority.
00:27:07.36\00:27:09.82
The church is above the Bible
00:27:09.86\00:27:11.53
and this transference
of Sabbath observance
00:27:11.56\00:27:13.80
is proof of that of that fact.
00:27:13.83\00:27:15.26
Catholic Record,
September 1, 1923."
00:27:15.30\00:27:18.70
So those who keep
the commandments of God
00:27:18.73\00:27:20.94
do not receive
the mark of the beast.
00:27:20.97\00:27:24.11
The seal of God is in
His Ten Commandment law.
00:27:24.14\00:27:28.61
A seal has three
essential elements,
00:27:28.64\00:27:30.81
name, title, territory.
00:27:30.85\00:27:33.28
Which of the Ten Commandments
00:27:33.31\00:27:35.25
contains all three
essential elements?
00:27:35.28\00:27:37.29
The fourth commandment.
Name, "The Lord your God."
00:27:37.32\00:27:40.56
Title, "Him that made." Creator.
00:27:40.59\00:27:42.39
Territory: Heaven and earth
00:27:42.42\00:27:43.79
and the sea and
all that is in them."
00:27:43.83\00:27:45.16
Exodus 20:2-11.
00:27:45.19\00:27:46.90
The Sabbath is the
seal of the living God.
00:27:46.93\00:27:49.66
Would you agree God
is not gonna put a seal
00:27:49.70\00:27:51.93
on those who knowingly are
violating His commandments.
00:27:51.97\00:27:56.87
The Sabbath is a sign
between me and you, a sign.
00:27:56.91\00:28:01.11
Just like we have flags up here,
00:28:01.14\00:28:03.28
we have flags up here
00:28:03.31\00:28:04.81
and if I took any
one of these flags
00:28:04.85\00:28:07.22
and threw it
down and stamped on it
00:28:07.25\00:28:08.88
and say this is
just a piece of cloth.
00:28:08.92\00:28:11.29
It's true it's a piece of cloth
00:28:11.32\00:28:12.65
but that piece
of cloth is a sign.
00:28:12.69\00:28:15.92
It represents something, right.
00:28:15.96\00:28:18.63
So we have the United
States of America flag
00:28:18.66\00:28:21.90
and let me tell you something,
00:28:21.93\00:28:23.73
red, white and blue
stands for something.
00:28:23.77\00:28:25.20
Can you say, amen?
00:28:25.23\00:28:26.57
Those stars stand for something.
00:28:26.60\00:28:28.37
You and I would
not be sitting here
00:28:28.40\00:28:31.11
with the cherish
freedom that we have,
00:28:31.14\00:28:33.88
enjoying this liberty
00:28:33.91\00:28:35.38
that we have unless
there was some blood
00:28:35.41\00:28:38.61
that was shed to help
to protect our freedom
00:28:38.65\00:28:41.85
and right now they are troops
00:28:41.88\00:28:44.72
overseas seeking to
protect our freedom.
00:28:44.75\00:28:48.56
So the Sabbath is the
sign, its very special to God.
00:28:48.59\00:28:54.30
It's a sign that He made
us and that He redeems us.
00:28:54.33\00:28:58.27
The Sabbath is the
sign between me and you
00:28:58.30\00:29:01.30
that you might
know hat I'm the one
00:29:01.34\00:29:03.14
who sanctified you or saves you
00:29:03.17\00:29:04.81
or makes you
holy, Ezekiel 20:12, 20.
00:29:04.84\00:29:08.94
Now if you receive the
seal of God you will not receive
00:29:08.98\00:29:11.98
the mark of the beast.
00:29:12.01\00:29:13.42
No on has the mark of the beast
until a national Sunday law
00:29:13.45\00:29:17.49
is enforced and then
when people are warned
00:29:17.52\00:29:19.89
and they still go along with it,
00:29:19.92\00:29:21.76
that's a different issue.
00:29:21.79\00:29:23.12
So if the antichrist
beast is the Roman papal power
00:29:23.16\00:29:25.69
then the mark of the
beast must have something to do
00:29:25.73\00:29:28.56
with the Roman papal power.
00:29:28.60\00:29:31.40
God's seal versus
the papacy's mark.
00:29:31.43\00:29:35.44
Now the Sabbath is the
only one of the commandments
00:29:35.47\00:29:38.94
that relates to time.
00:29:38.97\00:29:40.61
And in Daniel 7:25
00:29:40.64\00:29:45.05
we have this amazing
prophetic utterance here.
00:29:45.08\00:29:50.89
Verse 25, about the Roman
papal power, that antichrist.
00:29:50.92\00:29:54.92
Listen to this, dark eve.
00:29:54.96\00:29:56.42
"He shall speak pompous
words against the Most High,
00:29:56.46\00:29:58.63
shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:29:58.66\00:30:00.70
and shall intend to
change times and law.
00:30:00.73\00:30:03.26
Then the saints shall
be given into his hand
00:30:03.30\00:30:04.90
for a time and
times and half a time."
00:30:04.93\00:30:07.44
Notice the part which talks
about changing times and law.
00:30:07.47\00:30:12.77
What is the only
Commandment of God
00:30:12.81\00:30:15.08
of the Most High
that relates to time?
00:30:15.11\00:30:17.65
The seventh day Sabbath.
00:30:17.68\00:30:19.01
Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:30:19.05\00:30:21.28
The Bible said
what would they do,
00:30:21.32\00:30:23.05
this bizarre talking horn?
00:30:23.08\00:30:24.62
What would they do?
They would change it.
00:30:24.65\00:30:26.86
Give me another synonym
for change in this case.
00:30:26.89\00:30:29.29
Changing the law of
God, what's another synonym?
00:30:29.32\00:30:31.96
Modify, revise,
alter, all right.
00:30:31.99\00:30:36.03
So there is a war
against the Commandments of God
00:30:36.06\00:30:39.33
specifically the
fourth commandment of God.
00:30:39.37\00:30:41.94
The Sunday observance is
based on man made tradition
00:30:41.97\00:30:45.74
and not upon God's truth.
00:30:45.77\00:30:47.81
So who changed the
Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday?
00:30:47.84\00:30:50.98
The Roman Catholic Church.
00:30:51.01\00:30:54.88
God has many of His
people in that church.
00:30:54.92\00:30:59.75
God want's everyone to know this
00:30:59.79\00:31:01.82
because whether you
are in that church or not
00:31:01.86\00:31:04.19
most Christians
are influenced by this.
00:31:04.23\00:31:06.03
Is that correct? Yes or no?
00:31:06.06\00:31:07.40
Sudden changes are about to
catch the world by surprise.
00:31:09.06\00:31:12.97
Amazing Bible
Prophecies are fast fulfilling.
00:31:13.00\00:31:16.40
Do ancient prophecies predict
the sudden economic collapse?
00:31:16.44\00:31:20.18
Will the Middle East
crisis erupt into World War III?
00:31:20.21\00:31:23.58
Are we living on
the eve of Armageddon?
00:31:23.61\00:31:26.31
How will the final moves
of the antichrist affect you?
00:31:26.35\00:31:29.38
What is the future
00:31:29.42\00:31:30.75
of the United States of America?
00:31:30.79\00:31:32.72
How will natural disasters
usher in the mark of the beast?
00:31:32.75\00:31:36.59

So change to keep the
day God did not changed.
00:32:11.89\00:32:17.77
You can go to church on Sunday,
00:32:17.80\00:32:20.47
Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
00:32:20.50\00:32:22.57
but what should be
your primary day of worship?
00:32:22.60\00:32:27.04
The seventh day of
the week, Saturday.
00:32:27.08\00:32:29.51
But I want to go a step further
and ask you the question,
00:32:29.54\00:32:33.52
do you think you can
really go to a church
00:32:33.55\00:32:37.29
that honors the
Sunday when you know it came
00:32:37.32\00:32:40.26
from the Roman Catholic
church and just sits there
00:32:40.29\00:32:43.66
as though it doesn't even matter
00:32:43.69\00:32:46.16
or as though you didn't
know what to take a stand.
00:32:46.19\00:32:50.53
And I will let
you determine that.
00:32:50.57\00:32:52.43
Make a decision to
honor the true Lord's Day,
00:32:52.47\00:32:55.70
even if it requires
a chance in your life.
00:32:55.74\00:32:59.97
"I was in the
Spirit on the Lord's Day,"
00:33:00.01\00:33:02.14
Revelation 1:10.
00:33:02.18\00:33:04.15
"The Son of Man is Lord
of also of the Sabbath."
00:33:04.18\00:33:06.41
This is New
Testament teaching Mark 2:28.
00:33:06.45\00:33:08.85
Sunday
observance is a counterfeit
00:33:08.88\00:33:11.65
of the seventh day Sabbath.
00:33:11.69\00:33:13.52
Come on now,
what did you expect?
00:33:13.56\00:33:15.12
The antichrist is
the most influential
00:33:15.16\00:33:18.09
professed Christian institution
and system in the world.
00:33:18.13\00:33:21.43
So what did you expect?
00:33:21.46\00:33:23.50
But that the day
of worship is the--
00:33:23.53\00:33:27.47
is the most influential day
of worship is the wrong day.
00:33:27.50\00:33:33.04
Don't be surprised.
00:33:33.07\00:33:34.94
You say, Mark,
how did this happen?
00:33:34.98\00:33:36.98
Because down through the Dark
Ages there was only one church.
00:33:37.01\00:33:41.08
They dominated
and they were churches
00:33:41.12\00:33:43.49
started to come out,
protest Protestantism.
00:33:43.52\00:33:47.42
They left the lot
of the false teachings
00:33:47.46\00:33:50.29
but they retained
Sunday observance.
00:33:50.33\00:33:53.73
In the last days God predicted
00:33:53.76\00:33:56.46
that there would be a
remnant would champion
00:33:56.50\00:33:58.43
all of his commandments.
00:33:58.47\00:33:59.80
Can you say, amen?
00:33:59.83\00:34:01.34
And so Sunday is the admitted
00:34:01.37\00:34:04.57
mark of authority
of the papal power.
00:34:04.61\00:34:07.61
Would the Papacy be
00:34:07.64\00:34:09.21
in favor of a
National Sunday Law in America,
00:34:09.24\00:34:11.41
what do you think?
Absolutely, hands down.
00:34:11.45\00:34:14.32
Do you think majority
would be in favor of that
00:34:14.35\00:34:16.79
given the right
situation, given the right set
00:34:16.82\00:34:19.02
of circumstances of desperation?
00:34:19.05\00:34:21.72
Desperate people
do desperate things.
00:34:21.76\00:34:23.83
Hey, listen, right
after 9/11 took place
00:34:23.86\00:34:27.13
and today its September
13 where 9/11 took place.
00:34:27.16\00:34:31.30
Ten years ago what happened?
Statistically it's a fact.
00:34:31.33\00:34:36.34
People rush to church on Sunday.
00:34:36.37\00:34:39.34
Why?
00:34:39.37\00:34:40.71
Because desperation,
oh, no we are under attack
00:34:40.74\00:34:42.91
by extreme Muslims and so forth.
00:34:42.94\00:34:47.35
You know, we are in trouble
00:34:47.38\00:34:49.12
by these radical
Muslims and so forth.
00:34:49.15\00:34:52.99
And then when we could see,
00:34:53.02\00:34:54.36
well, okay, I think will
be okay, they stop attending.
00:34:54.39\00:34:57.93
Now don't get me wrong,
00:34:57.96\00:34:59.29
many remain attending
but the attendance went
00:34:59.33\00:35:01.46
right back down to
about where it was.
00:35:01.50\00:35:04.53
What's my point?
00:35:04.57\00:35:06.57
If all of a sudden a
whole city was blown up
00:35:06.60\00:35:10.47
by a nuclear weapon,
let me tell you something,
00:35:10.51\00:35:12.41
a few people would go
rushing back to church
00:35:12.44\00:35:14.64
realizing like this is
the different ballgame.
00:35:14.68\00:35:18.11
And what do you
think would be a foot then?
00:35:18.15\00:35:20.65
What do you think,
you-- as they would be
00:35:20.68\00:35:22.35
interviewing
religious leaders and so forth,
00:35:22.38\00:35:24.15
what do you
think they would say?
00:35:24.19\00:35:25.52
We got to get
back to keep Sunday
00:35:25.55\00:35:27.52
God is being marked
and God is being displeased
00:35:27.56\00:35:31.36
and God's wrath is
coming upon us because every--
00:35:31.39\00:35:33.66
all sorts of
commerce is going on Sunday
00:35:33.70\00:35:35.90
and you are
trampling on His day,
00:35:35.93\00:35:38.40
you got to comeback to
the Commandments of God,
00:35:38.43\00:35:40.14
you got to keep Sunday.
00:35:40.17\00:35:42.70
Do you see how the
devil makes it good with evil
00:35:42.74\00:35:46.57
just like they
did in the garden,
00:35:46.61\00:35:49.24
the tree of he
knowledge of good and evil.
00:35:49.28\00:35:53.31
Have you ever
heard of trick, or tree?
00:35:53.35\00:35:57.19
You know, there is the
tree but it's also a trick.
00:35:57.22\00:36:01.22
So listen
carefully, in this matter,
00:36:01.26\00:36:04.09
my predecessor Pope Leo
XIII in his Encyclical Rerum
00:36:04.13\00:36:07.40
spoke of Sunday
rest as a worker's right
00:36:07.43\00:36:09.26
which the State must guarantee."
00:36:09.30\00:36:11.43
Pope John Paul II, Dies
Dominl, Lord's Day 1998.
00:36:11.47\00:36:15.54
So listen to this.
00:36:15.57\00:36:17.01
What is the future
00:36:17.04\00:36:18.37
of the United States of America?
00:36:18.41\00:36:19.74
What is America's future?
00:36:19.77\00:36:21.38
We mothered
democracies, modeled freedom,
00:36:21.41\00:36:23.61
fostered
international communications,
00:36:23.65\00:36:25.51
sole remaining superpower,
00:36:25.55\00:36:27.22
the most
influential nation today.
00:36:27.25\00:36:31.19
The whole world looks
00:36:31.22\00:36:32.55
to the United
States of America today.
00:36:32.59\00:36:34.26
How will the
world-- would you agree,
00:36:34.29\00:36:36.36
the United States of America
00:36:36.39\00:36:39.16
has powerful
influence financially?
00:36:39.19\00:36:44.40
Oh, we have aroused
but we still have clout
00:36:44.43\00:36:47.70
with money and commerce
00:36:47.74\00:36:50.97
and trade and
importing and exporting.
00:36:51.01\00:36:54.94
We also have military might.
00:36:54.98\00:36:56.91
Come on now, we
have military might
00:36:56.95\00:36:59.41
influential around the world.
00:36:59.45\00:37:01.48
In addition to that we
have religious influence,
00:37:01.52\00:37:07.22
in addition to that we
have cultural influence.
00:37:07.26\00:37:11.83
So when the Untied States says
we need a national Sunday law,
00:37:11.86\00:37:16.16
I can see many
American saying, you know what,
00:37:16.20\00:37:19.30
we need that
because we need to put
00:37:19.33\00:37:21.34
these Muslims that in
America in their place.
00:37:21.37\00:37:26.41
How many can see
that happening overnight,
00:37:26.44\00:37:28.68
especially if there was another,
00:37:28.71\00:37:30.71
even if it was
extreme Muslim attack
00:37:30.75\00:37:33.52
I believe
America would just say,
00:37:33.55\00:37:35.02
forget it, we are fed up,
00:37:35.05\00:37:36.38
this is a Christian nation
we will have Sunday observance.
00:37:36.42\00:37:39.15
How many can see
that scenario happening?
00:37:39.19\00:37:40.79
Overnight sudden
change. Don't get me wrong.
00:37:40.82\00:37:47.40
If the whole world
wants to go worship on Sunday
00:37:47.43\00:37:52.77
they should have
the freedom to do it
00:37:52.80\00:37:57.11
but they should
not force me to keep.
00:37:57.14\00:38:02.31
That's a whole different issue
00:38:02.34\00:38:03.88
because as for me and my house
00:38:03.91\00:38:05.95
I read the Bible just
like a simple little child.
00:38:05.98\00:38:10.69
The way it reads
in the commandments
00:38:10.72\00:38:12.25
the Bible says don't add to
it, don't take away from it.
00:38:12.29\00:38:15.52
and Revelation 22:18, 19 says
00:38:15.56\00:38:19.39
if you add to it the
plagues will be added to you
00:38:19.43\00:38:21.76
in terms of anything
there in the Book of Revelation.
00:38:21.80\00:38:23.90
What's in the
Book of Revelation?
00:38:23.93\00:38:25.27
The Ten Commandments.
00:38:25.30\00:38:27.00
And so how will
the United States
00:38:27.04\00:38:28.90
the most
powerful nation on earth
00:38:28.94\00:38:30.71
influence the entire world?
00:38:30.74\00:38:32.61
Come on now, do
what we are doing.
00:38:32.64\00:38:34.48
We are having a
revival here in America
00:38:34.51\00:38:36.98
and that false revival
will spread around the world.
00:38:37.01\00:38:39.38
There will be miracles
that seemed to confirm it.
00:38:39.41\00:38:42.35
Will the Untied States
enforce the mark of the beast?
00:38:42.38\00:38:44.49
Will the United States
enforce a National Sunday Law?
00:38:44.52\00:38:47.99
Oh, you better believe.
00:38:48.02\00:38:49.36
The United States of America
00:38:49.39\00:38:50.73
will be the
first nation to enforce
00:38:50.76\00:38:52.09
the mark of the
beast, a national Sunday law.
00:38:52.13\00:38:53.96
Is the United States of
America in Bible prophecy?
00:38:54.00\00:38:56.50
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:38:56.53\00:38:59.20
Here it is.
00:38:59.23\00:39:00.84
"Then I saw another beast
coming up out of the earth,
00:39:00.87\00:39:03.61
and he had two horns like a lamb
00:39:03.64\00:39:05.07
and spoke like a
dragon," Revelation 13:11.
00:39:05.11\00:39:08.04
Where does it arise?
It arises from the earth.
00:39:08.08\00:39:11.75
What does the symbol of water
represent in Bible prophecy?
00:39:11.78\00:39:14.78
The waters which you
saw people's multitudes,
00:39:14.82\00:39:17.49
nations, and tongues,"
population Revelation 17:15.
00:39:17.52\00:39:21.92
So this new beast
comes up out of the earth
00:39:21.96\00:39:25.59
or out of an
un-seed or unpopulated area
00:39:25.63\00:39:29.63
or spuriously populated area.
00:39:29.66\00:39:31.83
It's true there were natives
here and we did mistreat them
00:39:31.87\00:39:34.90
but by enlarge this
was a vast open wilderness.
00:39:34.94\00:39:39.41
This new beast
comes up out of the earth
00:39:39.44\00:39:41.54
or an unpopulated area.
00:39:41.58\00:39:43.35
So that's in
real estate they say,
00:39:43.38\00:39:45.31
location, location, location.
00:39:45.35\00:39:47.15
So location is like this vast,
00:39:47.18\00:39:51.99
expense of pine trees,
00:39:52.02\00:39:55.29
and oak trees and
free for the taken.
00:39:55.32\00:39:59.03
Would you agree
God kept this place
00:39:59.06\00:40:02.53
until just the right
time to say, come on over,
00:40:02.56\00:40:05.13
you can have some
freedom over here.
00:40:05.17\00:40:08.17
So when does this power arise?
00:40:08.20\00:40:10.41
Timeframe, timing
is everything they say.
00:40:10.44\00:40:13.27
"He who leads into captivity
shall go into captivity."
00:40:13.31\00:40:16.01
That's the verse that proceeds
the debut verse of verse 11.
00:40:16.04\00:40:21.48
"He who leads into captivity"
speaking about the first beast
00:40:21.52\00:40:24.39
the Vatican,
the papacy, the Pope
00:40:24.42\00:40:26.59
who went into captivity, when?
00:40:26.62\00:40:28.29
Revelation 13:10.
00:40:28.32\00:40:29.82
When did he go into captivity?
00:40:29.86\00:40:31.89
When Napoleon sent
his General Berthier
00:40:31.93\00:40:34.70
to capture the Pope.
00:40:34.73\00:40:36.06
When did the Pope
go into captivity?
00:40:36.10\00:40:37.43
Everybody yell it out, 1798.
00:40:37.47\00:40:40.54
The church lost its power
00:40:40.57\00:40:42.20
to the French
government in 1798.
00:40:42.24\00:40:44.41
Now the Bible made it
very clear that there would be
00:40:44.44\00:40:46.54
a political
supremacy of the Pope,
00:40:46.57\00:40:48.78
of the papacy for
42 months x 30 days
00:40:48.81\00:40:53.65
in a biblical month, 1,260 days.
00:40:53.68\00:40:56.08
One days equals a
year in Bible prophecy
00:40:56.12\00:40:59.59
in the context of
symbolic Bible prophecy.
00:40:59.62\00:41:02.49
And it got power at
an order of Justinian,
00:41:02.52\00:41:05.53
Roman decree in 538 A.D.,
00:41:05.56\00:41:07.93
lost the power in 1798
temporarily, Revelation 13:5.
00:41:07.96\00:41:14.50
So the deadly
wound was inflicted
00:41:14.54\00:41:17.61
in 1798 exactly, come on,
00:41:17.64\00:41:21.18
now people mock
and scoff at the Bible.
00:41:22.34\00:41:24.28
I've got
something for every person,
00:41:24.31\00:41:27.28
it is challenge in
believing the Bible.
00:41:27.32\00:41:29.68
It's Bible prophecy.
00:41:29.72\00:41:31.45
When it comes to time prophecy
that is an exact science.
00:41:31.49\00:41:38.46
Exactly 1,260 years
from 538 A.D., it happened.
00:41:38.49\00:41:44.90
Would you agree if you
look at the whole history
00:41:44.93\00:41:47.67
of the Roman papal power
for a Pope to go into captivity
00:41:47.70\00:41:51.81
that's big prophetic news?
00:41:51.84\00:41:55.64
So was America rising
to prominence and power
00:41:55.68\00:41:58.11
at the time when the
papacy was losing power?
00:41:58.15\00:42:01.32
So one was going
down, one was coming up.
00:42:01.35\00:42:04.85
And could it be that eventually
they would both work together
00:42:04.89\00:42:08.36
to enforce a
national Sunday law.
00:42:08.39\00:42:11.99
Well, let's think
about the time of the rise.
00:42:12.03\00:42:15.50
Around 1798 clustered
around there anything happening?
00:42:15.53\00:42:19.70
Yeah, new nation
was rising gradually
00:42:19.73\00:42:23.24
but look at some
of these key events.
00:42:23.27\00:42:25.24
1775, battle for independence.
00:42:25.27\00:42:28.18
1776,
declaration of independence.
00:42:28.21\00:42:30.51
1787, constitution.
00:42:30.55\00:42:32.28
1789, first
President George Washington.
00:42:32.31\00:42:35.15
1790, Supreme Court.
1791, Bill of Rights.
00:42:35.18\00:42:38.75
Come on now, is
that not amazing.
00:42:38.79\00:42:40.66
How does this power arise?
00:42:40.69\00:42:42.26
It would arise, emerging
amid the silence of the earth,
00:42:42.29\00:42:44.63
adding daily to
its power strength.
00:42:44.66\00:42:47.03
The birth of our
nation was miraculous.
00:42:47.06\00:42:51.53
The divine
providence of God orchestrated
00:42:51.57\00:42:54.27
the rise of America.
00:42:54.30\00:42:55.87
It is an amazing story.
00:42:55.90\00:42:58.04
I been to all 48 of
the contiguous states
00:42:58.07\00:43:01.78
but I don't know, my wife
is five years younger than me
00:43:01.81\00:43:04.91
and she God got
Alaska and I didn't.
00:43:04.95\00:43:07.42
So the score is 49
to 48, how you figure?
00:43:07.45\00:43:12.52
And I was traveling a
lot more than she was,
00:43:12.55\00:43:14.92
a lot earlier than
she was but she's winning.
00:43:14.96\00:43:18.83
And I do want to
go to Alaska sometime
00:43:18.86\00:43:21.53
but I don't like the
idea flying over waterways.
00:43:21.56\00:43:26.00
The best I can
hope for is a tie.
00:43:26.03\00:43:27.54
All right, let's go on.
00:43:27.57\00:43:28.90
So listen, "Then I saw
another beast coming up
00:43:28.94\00:43:32.71
out of the earth, and he
had two horns like a lamb."
00:43:32.74\00:43:37.08
The term lamb is used 29
times in the Book of Revelation,
00:43:37.11\00:43:40.32
28 of which are
referring to who?
00:43:40.35\00:43:44.32
The lamb of God that taketh away
00:43:44.35\00:43:45.75
the sin of world, John 1:29.
00:43:45.79\00:43:47.62
The Bible interprets itself,
Jesus Christ, Revelation 13:11.
00:43:47.66\00:43:51.29
So two horns like a lamb.
00:43:51.33\00:43:54.96
It would seek to be
harmless and freedom loving.
00:43:55.00\00:43:57.70
There are no crowns
00:43:57.73\00:43:59.07
on the horns of
the second beast.
00:43:59.10\00:44:01.90
The first horns-- I'm sorry.
00:44:01.94\00:44:03.84
The first beast has crowns.
00:44:03.87\00:44:05.97
Crowns indicate
kingly authority.
00:44:06.01\00:44:09.04
The lack of crowns
indicates freedom, democracy.
00:44:09.08\00:44:14.38
Horns are a symbol of power.
00:44:14.42\00:44:15.82
They indicate
that this second beast
00:44:15.85\00:44:17.39
derives its power
00:44:17.42\00:44:18.75
from political
religious freedom.
00:44:18.79\00:44:21.12
Freedom of church and State.
00:44:21.16\00:44:24.96
Lamb-like beast.
Arising around 1798.
00:44:24.99\00:44:28.00
Arise in
relatively unpopulated area.
00:44:28.03\00:44:30.50
It would be a young nation.
00:44:30.53\00:44:32.03
It would have no crowned
head, no kingly authority.
00:44:32.07\00:44:34.57
A church without a pope,
and a state with out a king.
00:44:34.60\00:44:37.77
What is the only
description that fits--
00:44:37.81\00:44:39.91
I'm sorry, the only nation
that fits this description.
00:44:39.94\00:44:42.58
Everybody together, America.
America in Bible prophecy.
00:44:42.61\00:44:49.42
On our currency we
say, in God we trust.
00:44:49.45\00:44:56.99
But now in school you
are not even supposed to--
00:44:57.03\00:45:01.96
a teacher is not even
supposed to use the word God,
00:45:02.00\00:45:06.50
it seems to me.
00:45:06.53\00:45:08.64
Lamb like power equals
freedom and a Christian nation.
00:45:08.67\00:45:14.04
Listen to me as we proceed.
00:45:14.08\00:45:18.28
A beast is a power or nation.
Sea, people or populated area.
00:45:18.31\00:45:23.62
Earth, arises in a new
world, sparsely populated area.
00:45:23.65\00:45:27.29
Arises around 1798.
Lamb, freedom loving.
00:45:27.32\00:45:31.19
Lamb, Christian nation.
00:45:31.23\00:45:32.63
Two horns, separation of
powers, civil and religious.
00:45:32.66\00:45:35.80
No crows, equals democracy.
00:45:35.83\00:45:38.03
And dominant
force in end events.
00:45:38.07\00:45:40.87
You noticed I just
keep recapitulating,
00:45:40.90\00:45:43.41
I keep repeating.
00:45:43.44\00:45:44.87
So that you can
just, it can just
00:45:44.91\00:45:47.61
be riveted in your
mind and your thinking
00:45:47.64\00:45:49.91
so you could say wow,
the United States of America
00:45:49.94\00:45:54.05
is spotlighted in
the Book of Revelation.
00:45:54.08\00:45:56.48
Would you agree now you have
more reason to watch the news?
00:45:56.52\00:46:01.72
That's what you wanted anyway.
00:46:01.76\00:46:04.33
So listen
carefully as we move on.
00:46:04.36\00:46:08.23
The next verse to
ponder, can I hear a drum roll?
00:46:08.26\00:46:13.44
Watch this, this
is absolutely amazing.
00:46:13.47\00:46:18.24
Now for the rest of
the prophetic story.
00:46:18.27\00:46:22.74
Revelation 13:12 "He"
the United States of America,
00:46:22.78\00:46:25.98
we've already identified
that that's who it is.
00:46:26.01\00:46:28.42
"And he" the
United States of America
00:46:28.45\00:46:30.85
"exercises" employees
or uses "all the authority"
00:46:30.89\00:46:34.92
or power "of the first
beast" the Roman papal power
00:46:34.96\00:46:38.73
"in his presence,
and causes" or enforces
00:46:38.76\00:46:42.96
"the earth and those
who dwell in it to worship"
00:46:43.00\00:46:46.97
a certain way or else to
worship "the first beast."
00:46:47.00\00:46:54.01
That is, you
ought to be a guest.
00:46:54.04\00:46:58.21
What is this
Untied States of America
00:46:58.25\00:47:00.48
enforcing worship that
ends up worshipping the papacy?
00:47:00.52\00:47:06.65
"Worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed."
00:47:06.69\00:47:09.42
So there is no
doubt who that beast is.
00:47:09.46\00:47:11.09
It's the one that got a deadly
wound and then its been healed.
00:47:11.13\00:47:14.03
So there is no, there is
no conjecturing about this.
00:47:14.06\00:47:16.90
There is no doubt about this.
00:47:16.93\00:47:18.30
America enforcing worship
would result in what every one?
00:47:18.33\00:47:21.84
Religious persecution.
00:47:21.87\00:47:23.44
It enforces worship that
gives homage to the papacy.
00:47:23.47\00:47:28.64
Is there some form of worship
that is popular in America
00:47:28.68\00:47:33.08
that came right from
the bosom of the papacy?
00:47:33.11\00:47:36.18
Sunday observance.
00:47:36.22\00:47:38.55
What is the most
popular day of worship
00:47:38.59\00:47:40.59
for both the United
States and the papacy?
00:47:40.62\00:47:42.92
Sunday observance.
00:47:42.96\00:47:44.86
There is a way that
seems right to a man
00:47:44.89\00:47:46.96
but it leads to
death, Proverbs 16:25.
00:47:47.00\00:47:51.00
You and I cannot go with,
00:47:51.03\00:47:52.67
well, Sunday is the
day of the resurrection.
00:47:52.70\00:47:54.67
Seems okay to me.
00:47:54.70\00:47:56.60
I mean, the Bible says
the disciples on occasion
00:47:56.64\00:47:59.47
would meet there even on Sunday.
00:47:59.51\00:48:02.24
You know, you
need to read your Bible
00:48:02.28\00:48:03.68
a little bit more
clearly and closely.
00:48:03.71\00:48:06.01
You know why?
00:48:06.05\00:48:07.38
The Bible says, they
went to church every day
00:48:07.42\00:48:08.85
but the Bible never
called any other day
00:48:08.88\00:48:11.92
the Sabbath except the
seventh day of the week.
00:48:11.95\00:48:14.32
I rest my case.
00:48:14.36\00:48:15.69
Matter of fact, if you have
a concordance look up the word,
00:48:15.72\00:48:18.23
first day, the
two words, first day
00:48:18.26\00:48:20.20
and you will never see
it called the Lord's day.
00:48:20.23\00:48:23.33
So what is the most
popular day of worship
00:48:23.37\00:48:25.23
for both the United
States and the papacy?
00:48:25.27\00:48:27.24
Sunday observance.
00:48:27.27\00:48:28.60
"To follow the false
Sabbath would be to worship
00:48:28.64\00:48:31.91
the first beast who
gave it," Revelation 13:12.
00:48:31.94\00:48:35.58
So listen carefully, to
go along with Sunday worship
00:48:35.61\00:48:41.02
is to follow the beast
unknowingly or knowingly.
00:48:41.05\00:48:46.76
So think about it,
you "in times of ignorance
00:48:46.79\00:48:48.82
God overlooks it," Acts 17:30.
00:48:48.86\00:48:52.43
Now listen carefully,
America will legislate
00:48:52.46\00:48:55.23
and enforce a
religious law that conflicts
00:48:55.26\00:48:57.57
with the US Constitution
and heaven's constitution,
00:48:57.60\00:49:01.10
the Ten Commandments.
00:49:01.14\00:49:03.51
I mean, this is true
stranger than fiction.
00:49:03.54\00:49:07.41
You know, fiction books
are very popular these days.
00:49:07.44\00:49:09.88
Come on now put them
aside and read your Bible.
00:49:09.91\00:49:13.65
Worship to God
must be never enforced.
00:49:13.68\00:49:18.82
Must never be
enforced by the government.
00:49:18.85\00:49:20.56
Would you agree with that?
00:49:20.59\00:49:22.19
If people want to keep
Sunday and quite frankly
00:49:22.22\00:49:25.66
if Muslims want to
keep Friday let them be.
00:49:25.69\00:49:28.73
Now, when I say let
them be that doesn't mean
00:49:28.76\00:49:30.27
don't try to convert them,
00:49:30.30\00:49:32.83
absolutely to
Christianity to following God.
00:49:32.87\00:49:36.30
But when I say leave them
be, don't throw them in jail
00:49:36.34\00:49:38.57
because they
want to keep Friday.
00:49:38.61\00:49:40.81
Can I hear amen
up there, America?
00:49:40.84\00:49:42.74
Are we still
believing in religious freedom?
00:49:42.78\00:49:44.61
Amen.
00:49:44.65\00:49:46.11
And if the Jews
and many Christians
00:49:46.15\00:49:48.28
want to keep
Saturday they ought to do it.
00:49:48.32\00:49:50.32
If many Christians
want to keep Sunday
00:49:50.35\00:49:52.99
that's their business
00:49:53.02\00:49:54.36
but when it comes to
truth I want to know the truth.
00:49:54.39\00:49:59.19
Like a lamb, but he
spoke like a dragon.
00:49:59.23\00:50:02.20
Yes, religious
freedom but not much longer.
00:50:02.23\00:50:06.70
How will the
United States of American
00:50:06.74\00:50:08.64
begin to speak and
sound like a dragon?
00:50:08.67\00:50:11.17
A nation speaks
through it's laws and decrees.
00:50:11.21\00:50:14.18
The official
"speaking" of a nation
00:50:14.21\00:50:16.08
is the action of its legislative
00:50:16.11\00:50:17.95
and judicial authorities.
00:50:17.98\00:50:19.91
What dragon like law
will be enforced in America?
00:50:19.95\00:50:22.85
The mark of the
beast, Revelation 13:16.
00:50:22.88\00:50:28.29
Everyone will
worship the beast papacy
00:50:28.32\00:50:31.19
or worship the Creator.
00:50:31.23\00:50:33.23
The United States constitution
guarantees liberty and freedom.
00:50:33.26\00:50:37.17
I repeat, what is
the mark of the beast?
00:50:37.20\00:50:38.97
We know who the beast is.
The first beast is the papacy.
00:50:39.00\00:50:41.60
What is their mark?
00:50:41.64\00:50:43.24
Sunday
observance, the counterfeit.
00:50:43.27\00:50:45.47
What's God's mark is?
00:50:45.51\00:50:47.58
So Sunday would be enforced,
00:50:47.61\00:50:49.41
the United States constitution
guarantees liberty and freedom.
00:50:49.44\00:50:53.01
"We hold these truths"
penned Thomas Jefferson
00:50:53.05\00:50:56.72
"truths to be self-evident,
00:50:56.75\00:50:58.12
that all men
are" how about that?
00:50:58.15\00:51:00.69
"Created."
00:51:00.72\00:51:02.56
Could you please
get the word out?
00:51:02.59\00:51:04.79
We've been created and
even Thomas Jefferson said so.
00:51:04.83\00:51:08.30
"Created equal,
00:51:08.33\00:51:10.30
that they are
endowed by their" here it is.
00:51:10.33\00:51:13.13
"Creator with
certain inalienable Rights,"
00:51:13.17\00:51:16.47
how many agree we
have a right to worship
00:51:16.50\00:51:18.24
the day that our
Creator said to keep?
00:51:18.27\00:51:22.48
With certain inalienable Rights,
00:51:22.51\00:51:24.31
that among these are Life,
00:51:24.35\00:51:25.68
Liberty, and the
pursuit of Happiness."
00:51:25.71\00:51:27.78
I love these words.
00:51:27.82\00:51:29.15
How many agree
these are golden words.
00:51:29.18\00:51:31.82
"Thirteen years after the
Declaration of Independence
00:51:31.85\00:51:34.36
was signed, the
Constitution was ratified.
00:51:34.39\00:51:37.53
The first" is it
ironic or coincidental
00:51:37.56\00:51:40.36
or maybe just
down right purposeful.
00:51:40.40\00:51:43.50
Intentional, "the
first ten amendments
00:51:43.53\00:51:46.30
to the Constitution are
known as the Bill of Rights."
00:51:46.33\00:51:50.81
Number one,
"Congress shall make no law
00:51:50.84\00:51:54.64
respecting an
establishment of religion,
00:51:54.68\00:51:56.58
or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof."
00:51:56.61\00:51:59.98
Will these
freedoms ever be challenged?
00:52:00.02\00:52:03.92
Will they?
00:52:03.95\00:52:06.09
I love how one
author put it in the book
00:52:06.12\00:52:08.56
"Great Controversy" page 449,
00:52:08.59\00:52:10.73
"The enforcement
of Sunday-keeping
00:52:10.76\00:52:12.49
on the part of
Protestant churches
00:52:12.53\00:52:14.40
is an enforcement of
the worship of the papacy."
00:52:14.43\00:52:18.90
Chain reaction.
00:52:18.93\00:52:20.34
How many have
ever played Dominoes?
00:52:20.37\00:52:21.97
I don't mean the flat
kind I mean the vertical kind.
00:52:22.00\00:52:25.64
How many
remember playing Dominoes
00:52:25.67\00:52:27.01
when you were a kid?
00:52:27.04\00:52:28.38
You know make a
wind around the door,
00:52:28.41\00:52:29.74
you know, go
around mom and dad's legs
00:52:29.78\00:52:32.31
and so forth and
then you just get one
00:52:32.35\00:52:34.25
and they all go down, right.
00:52:34.28\00:52:35.68
Well, listen to
this chain reaction.
00:52:35.72\00:52:37.15
Number one, the
papacy changed God's law.
00:52:37.19\00:52:40.89
The United-- and
the Bible predicted it.
00:52:40.92\00:52:43.59
History reveals it.
The church admits it.
00:52:43.63\00:52:46.53
The Bible condemns it.
The papacy changed God's law.
00:52:46.56\00:52:49.76
The United
States will make it law.
00:52:49.80\00:52:52.40
And the world will
follow their example.
00:52:52.43\00:52:54.67
That's the ripple effect.
00:52:54.70\00:52:56.71
That's right, religious
persecution is in the forecast.
00:52:56.74\00:53:02.74
Could it happen in America?
00:53:02.78\00:53:07.88
Have minorities ever
been oppressed America?
00:53:07.92\00:53:12.39
Would the minorities
of natives ever oppress?
00:53:12.42\00:53:16.09
Would the minorities of
African-American's oppress?
00:53:16.12\00:53:21.40
Well, my Bible
tells me if a minority
00:53:21.43\00:53:26.03
like a remnant,
00:53:26.07\00:53:28.80
the Bible says only
a remnant will end up
00:53:28.84\00:53:31.07
keeping the Commandments of God
00:53:31.11\00:53:32.44
especially when a
Sunday law is enforced.
00:53:32.47\00:53:35.11
That's Revelation 12:17.
00:53:35.14\00:53:36.85
Revelation
12:17, Revelation 12:17.
00:53:36.88\00:53:40.18
What's that?
00:53:40.22\00:53:43.82
You know, I went to
the Statue of Liberty
00:53:43.85\00:53:45.39
a few years ago and
had a little pocket Bible.
00:53:45.42\00:53:48.99
I was there
looking Statue of Liberty
00:53:49.02\00:53:52.29
walking up partway to
the Statue of Liberty.
00:53:52.33\00:53:57.10
I open up and I was
looking at Revelation 12:17,
00:53:57.13\00:54:01.24
"And the dragon was
wroth with the woman,
00:54:01.27\00:54:03.24
and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed,
00:54:03.27\00:54:07.24
which keep the
commandments of God,
00:54:07.28\00:54:09.28
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ."
00:54:09.31\00:54:11.21
How many want to be a
found among the remnant,
00:54:11.25\00:54:13.62
can you say amen?
00:54:13.65\00:54:15.15
Now if a minority remnant
oppose the National Sunday Law,
00:54:15.18\00:54:18.29
how would they be
treated in America?
00:54:18.32\00:54:21.66
Why did the pilgrims sacrifice
00:54:21.69\00:54:23.19
so much to come here to America?
00:54:23.22\00:54:25.89
In their quest for freedom.
00:54:25.93\00:54:27.60
They were willing to run
a risk of losing everything
00:54:27.63\00:54:33.27
including their
life because of freedom.
00:54:33.30\00:54:36.40
They desired worship
00:54:36.44\00:54:37.77
according to the
dictates of their conscience.
00:54:37.81\00:54:40.28
And I say I want worship
00:54:40.31\00:54:41.94
according to the
dictates of my conscience
00:54:41.98\00:54:44.35
and the Commandments of
God and the Word of God.
00:54:44.38\00:54:47.12
Now what is the
central end time issue
00:54:47.15\00:54:49.58
in the "War" against the saints?
00:54:49.62\00:54:51.09
Revelation 12:17.
00:54:51.12\00:54:52.55
What's that issue?
The Commandments of God.
00:54:52.59\00:54:55.16
The Commandments of God.
00:54:55.19\00:54:56.69
And so what does the
dragon stir up against those
00:54:56.73\00:54:59.53
who keep the Commandments
of God in the last days?
00:54:59.56\00:55:01.96
War.
00:55:02.00\00:55:03.67
So is there a war
against the Ten Commandments
00:55:03.70\00:55:05.63
and those who
preach and follow them?
00:55:05.67\00:55:07.00
Yes or no? Oh, yeah.
00:55:07.04\00:55:09.20
What is the next verse?
00:55:09.24\00:55:11.51
Verse 17, 12:17 talks
about war against the remnant.
00:55:11.54\00:55:16.18
And then the next
verse is telling you
00:55:16.21\00:55:18.21
how does the devil wage
that war against the remnant.
00:55:18.25\00:55:21.92
He use the papacy in the past,
will use them in the future,
00:55:21.95\00:55:25.69
and he now will
use in the future
00:55:25.72\00:55:28.12
the United States of America
00:55:28.16\00:55:29.56
as they form an alliance
with the papacy in enforcing.
00:55:29.59\00:55:33.60
What came from the papacy
00:55:33.63\00:55:34.96
and what's popular
among the second beast land?
00:55:35.00\00:55:38.83
Sunday observance.
00:55:38.87\00:55:40.44
So who would the
enemy use to wage war
00:55:40.47\00:55:42.60
against God's faithful down
00:55:42.64\00:55:43.97
through the
centuries and the end of time?
00:55:44.01\00:55:45.41
These two beasts.
00:55:45.44\00:55:46.91
These two beasts
spotlighted in Revelation 13.
00:55:46.94\00:55:49.78
The Two Beasts of Revelation 13,
00:55:49.81\00:55:51.95
namely the Papacy
00:55:51.98\00:55:53.95
and Apostate Protestant America.
00:55:53.98\00:55:58.52
Now listen the strategic methods
00:55:58.55\00:56:00.79
which the enemy
systematically uses
00:56:00.82\00:56:02.79
in the warfare against God.
00:56:02.82\00:56:04.16
And his Ten
Commandments are two fold.
00:56:04.19\00:56:06.16
Persecution and deception.
00:56:06.19\00:56:08.06
If he can't
deceive you he will just
00:56:08.10\00:56:10.07
try to persecute you
until you given anyway.
00:56:10.10\00:56:14.00
He went to make war
and that's why the devil
00:56:14.04\00:56:17.51
even though you know this truth
00:56:17.54\00:56:19.27
he will try to
fight you in keeping it.
00:56:19.31\00:56:21.44
He does not want you to keep
it because if you know the truth
00:56:21.48\00:56:26.11
that means you know it
by obedience and experience.
00:56:26.15\00:56:28.88
Just to know
that how many agree?
00:56:28.92\00:56:30.25
Just to know the
truth up in your head,
00:56:30.29\00:56:31.62
that doesn't set anybody free.
00:56:31.65\00:56:32.99
There is a lot of people
going to the bar right now
00:56:33.02\00:56:34.69
knowing the truth
that you should quit,
00:56:34.72\00:56:36.56
quit drinking and
give your heart to Jesus.
00:56:36.59\00:56:38.86
They know that
truth but how many agree?
00:56:38.89\00:56:40.26
It does not set us free
00:56:40.30\00:56:41.63
because you got to
know it by experience.
00:56:41.66\00:56:43.47
That's why says in John
17:3, who is gonna be saved.
00:56:43.50\00:56:47.10
It says "This is life eternal,
00:56:47.14\00:56:49.54
that they might know
thee the only true God,
00:56:49.57\00:56:54.38
and Jesus Christ, whom
He hast sent," John 17:3.
00:56:54.41\00:56:58.05
Do you know Him
tonight, beloved?
00:56:58.08\00:56:59.61
Do you know Him tonight?
00:56:59.65\00:57:01.25
So what is the
scope of the word war
00:57:01.28\00:57:03.99
in this most important passage?
00:57:04.02\00:57:06.29
Persecution and false teaching.
00:57:06.32\00:57:08.76
Soon it will be against
the law to keep God's law
00:57:08.79\00:57:14.16
the way He wrote it.
00:57:14.20\00:57:15.86
Remember the Sabbath
day, to keep it holy."
00:57:15.90\00:57:19.93
"Seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord."
00:57:19.97\00:57:23.87
I wondered here
tonight do you believe
00:57:23.91\00:57:27.84
that Jesus
Christ is the best man.
00:57:27.88\00:57:30.38
I want to read something to you
00:57:30.41\00:57:32.61
from Thomas
Jefferson as I close.
00:57:32.65\00:57:36.15
"I tremble for my country
00:57:36.18\00:57:39.22
when I reflect that God is just,
00:57:39.25\00:57:43.29
that his justice
cannot sleep forever."
00:57:43.32\00:57:49.46
Although sudden
and alarming changes
00:57:49.50\00:57:51.83
are sweeping across the globe
00:57:51.87\00:57:53.97
you and your family
can be prepared to face
00:57:54.00\00:57:56.34
the future with confidence.
