Welcome to Anchors Of Truth
00:00:12.59\00:00:14.91
live from the
3ABN Worship Center.
00:00:14.94\00:00:17.61
Last Day Events
with John Lomacang.
00:00:17.64\00:00:20.98
Hello friends and welcome once
again to the 3ABN Worship Center
00:00:23.02\00:00:26.80
located in one of the
largest cities in the world;
00:00:26.81\00:00:29.29
Thompsonville, Illinois.
00:00:29.32\00:00:30.71
Can the church say amen.
00:00:30.74\00:00:32.07
It's the hub of quite a bit of
what's happening in the world.
00:00:33.02\00:00:36.38
And praise the Lord that He
has chosen this obscure village
00:00:36.39\00:00:40.18
to be a place where beams
of light are going in every
00:00:40.19\00:00:43.59
direction around the world.
00:00:43.62\00:00:44.89
And we thank you today
for tuning in and waiting for
00:00:44.92\00:00:48.14
the Lord to speak to your heart.
00:00:48.15\00:00:49.61
And whether you're joining
us via satellite, television,
00:00:49.64\00:00:53.82
internet, or radio, or however,
whatever means God is using to
00:00:53.85\00:00:57.98
reach you with this
message today, we thank you for
00:00:58.01\00:01:00.92
taking the time to sit
down and listen to what the
00:01:00.95\00:01:03.88
Spirit of God has to say to you.
00:01:03.91\00:01:05.92
We began a few days ago.
00:01:05.93\00:01:07.65
And the entire topic this week,
or for this Anchors series,
00:01:07.68\00:01:10.91
was Last Day Events.
00:01:10.92\00:01:12.83
The first sermon
was The Final Countdown,
00:01:12.86\00:01:15.27
then The Final Stage, then
The Final Coalition last night.
00:01:15.30\00:01:19.23
This morning's message is
entitled, The Final Apostasy.
00:01:19.26\00:01:23.57
And then on this afternoon
at 3:00 pm Central time,
00:01:23.60\00:01:27.41
I want to invite you to come
back, we have the last message
00:01:27.44\00:01:30.49
entitled, The Last Act.
00:01:30.52\00:01:33.61
We are living in very
critical times in the world,
00:01:34.01\00:01:36.24
and what's happening around
us is almost imperceptible.
00:01:36.27\00:01:38.82
It's like a coming tsunami.
00:01:38.85\00:01:41.14
500 miles an hour but
you can't see it because
00:01:41.17\00:01:44.09
it's under the surface.
00:01:44.10\00:01:45.46
And so we pray that the Holy
Spirit today will guide your
00:01:45.49\00:01:48.33
heart, open your ears, and
also give you the leading of the
00:01:48.36\00:01:52.95
Holy Spirit to
bring, not only information,
00:01:52.98\00:01:55.27
but to bring conviction
and to lead you to the
00:01:55.30\00:01:58.12
person of Christ Jesus.
00:01:58.15\00:02:00.65
So bow your heads with
me as we invite the Lord
00:02:00.68\00:02:03.32
to continue
with us this morning.
00:02:03.35\00:02:05.84
Our gracious Father in heaven,
we thank You, Father, that
00:02:07.16\00:02:09.54
when we open the
Word, things get brighter.
00:02:10.55\00:02:13.40
In this day and age,
Father, we pray that more will
00:02:14.47\00:02:17.06
choose to open the Word,
for there to be an extension
00:02:17.09\00:02:21.49
of light in this
field of darkness.
00:02:21.50\00:02:24.45
We now put our lives in
Your hand, heavenly Father,
00:02:25.13\00:02:27.74
and we ask that
You'll lead us and guide us.
00:02:28.36\00:02:30.02
We also pray that You'll work
on the hearts of those who are
00:02:30.05\00:02:33.03
hearing this concentrated
truth for the very first time.
00:02:33.06\00:02:36.54
Dilute it so that
they can digest it,
00:02:37.37\00:02:39.73
not that it will go away.
00:02:39.76\00:02:41.30
And I pray that, Lord, I
submit myself to You, that Your
00:02:41.33\00:02:44.21
Holy Spirit will work
through me to accomplish Your
00:02:44.24\00:02:47.59
design and Your purpose.
00:02:47.62\00:02:49.02
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
00:02:49.03\00:02:52.66
Revelation 13 verses 11 to 12 is
the scripture for this morning.
00:02:54.07\00:02:58.10
You know, I remember when my
wife and I flew to Australia.
00:02:59.27\00:03:02.48
That is, consciously.
00:03:03.19\00:03:04.80
We went with the Heritage
Singers, but I remember being
00:03:04.83\00:03:07.10
invited there again.
00:03:07.13\00:03:08.70
And we both went together.
00:03:08.73\00:03:10.73
I won't mention the airline.
00:03:10.99\00:03:12.22
But there was something very
intriguing about flying back.
00:03:12.25\00:03:15.67
On this particular occasion,
we had never done it before
00:03:15.97\00:03:19.23
and we haven't done it since,
on this particular occasion
00:03:19.60\00:03:23.35
we left Australia in the
evening when it was dark,
00:03:23.91\00:03:27.57
never knowing that we
would arrive in San Francisco
00:03:28.29\00:03:32.58
three hours before we left.
00:03:32.61\00:03:34.71
The phenomena of flying
against the time zone is this.
00:03:37.28\00:03:41.46
We left at night, as we
were in flight the sun rose,
00:03:41.49\00:03:46.32
before we landed the sun set.
00:03:46.35\00:03:48.91
We left in darkness, flew in
the light, landed in darkness.
00:03:48.94\00:03:53.89
And you know, to some degree,
that's how our world is today.
00:03:54.19\00:03:56.83
This Protestant Reformation
that I introduced last night
00:03:57.76\00:04:00.69
took off in darkness.
00:04:00.70\00:04:02.22
At its height, we
were flying in the light.
00:04:02.25\00:04:05.48
But now we're getting to
the place where the world is
00:04:05.78\00:04:08.48
descending again into darkness.
00:04:08.51\00:04:11.82
This is the critical hour where
those who understand that the
00:04:11.85\00:04:16.09
Word of God is a light
and a lamp need to embrace
00:04:16.10\00:04:19.61
the Word of God
afresh all over again.
00:04:19.64\00:04:21.88
This is a crisis hour.
00:04:22.48\00:04:24.52
And even though we live in
an age where more Bibles are
00:04:24.55\00:04:27.07
sold and read and put into
all kinds of forms of media,
00:04:27.08\00:04:30.39
we're still living in
one of the darkest hours
00:04:30.42\00:04:33.06
in earth's history.
00:04:33.09\00:04:34.40
This Bible verse
tells us what we can expect
00:04:34.60\00:04:37.52
and how the scenario is
going to unfold before us.
00:04:37.53\00:04:40.89
John the revelator,
marooned on an island at Patmos,
00:04:41.45\00:04:45.60
sequestered there by
the very power of Rome,
00:04:46.26\00:04:49.14
he begins to write
what God gave to him
00:04:49.17\00:04:52.59
as they unsuccessfully
tried to end his life
00:04:52.62\00:04:56.85
in a cauldron of boiling oil.
00:04:56.86\00:04:59.32
They could not put his light
out because God was about to
00:04:59.35\00:05:02.84
turn his light on.
00:05:02.87\00:05:04.05
And thus, this message is
communicated, from a little man
00:05:04.08\00:05:07.31
languishing on
the island of Patmos,
00:05:07.85\00:05:10.03
to people in this modern age.
00:05:10.06\00:05:12.14
Listen to what he says.
00:05:12.17\00:05:13.62
John walks us through an
unfolding scenario of how
00:05:46.31\00:05:49.48
things are going to
be in the end times.
00:05:49.58\00:05:51.44
And whether we believe
this languishing prophet or not,
00:05:51.85\00:05:55.26
his words being communicated
through him from God,
00:05:55.85\00:05:58.38
these are accurate words.
00:05:58.41\00:05:59.91
We're living in a
stage that's developing.
00:05:59.94\00:06:02.39
Truly, the issue of the last
days is going to be worship.
00:06:02.42\00:06:05.76
Everybody is
going to be worshipping.
00:06:05.79\00:06:08.14
Everybody is going
to worship something.
00:06:08.17\00:06:10.35
Someone once said, if you
want to see what people worship,
00:06:10.97\00:06:14.24
look at their bank books.
00:06:14.27\00:06:15.45
Nowadays I would say, look
at their credit card statements.
00:06:15.48\00:06:17.98
Everybody worships something.
00:06:18.01\00:06:20.23
God created within us
a vacuum that can only
00:06:20.26\00:06:24.22
be filled by worship.
00:06:24.25\00:06:25.67
Whether it's materialistic
things or whether it's
00:06:25.68\00:06:29.26
worshipping God.
00:06:29.27\00:06:30.35
But I want to say this.
00:06:30.38\00:06:31.41
Materialistic
things cannot satisfy us
00:06:32.23\00:06:35.36
like worshipping God can.
00:06:35.39\00:06:37.63
Last night I talked about
the coalition, the seven systems
00:06:38.49\00:06:41.54
through which Satan has worked
throughout the generations.
00:06:41.57\00:06:43.86
Mentioning once again that
this is not something that is
00:06:44.16\00:06:46.33
encapsulated in one
particular section of the Bible.
00:06:46.34\00:06:48.96
But as we begin to
unfold in this morning and
00:06:49.67\00:06:51.97
this afternoon's presentations
the seventh part of the
00:06:52.00\00:06:55.65
final coalition, we will
discover that the seventh
00:06:55.68\00:06:59.26
or last piece of the
final coalition has been
00:06:59.36\00:07:02.47
in development
for nearly 500 years.
00:07:02.50\00:07:07.48
Unlike spiritualism
that's been in existence
00:07:09.02\00:07:12.16
for nearly 6000 years.
00:07:12.19\00:07:14.80
Each of the portions of
these systems, each of the
00:07:14.83\00:07:17.46
components of this
seven piece final coalition,
00:07:17.49\00:07:20.36
has a life on the shelf.
00:07:20.39\00:07:23.17
This is the youngest one
with the shortest shelf life,
00:07:23.20\00:07:26.82
but the greatest impact.
00:07:26.85\00:07:28.54
And there's a paradigm
shift that's taking place
00:07:28.95\00:07:31.13
in our world.
00:07:31.16\00:07:32.21
It is a subtle but
steady transition from
00:07:32.77\00:07:35.57
light to darkness.
00:07:35.58\00:07:37.34
It is the continual
and determined acceptance
00:07:37.89\00:07:41.21
of error in place of truth.
00:07:41.24\00:07:44.09
But the danger is, when error
is embraced in place of truth,
00:07:44.49\00:07:49.19
evil will be
embraced in place of good.
00:07:49.22\00:07:53.64
Ellen White said it this
way, and I summarized it.
00:07:54.55\00:07:56.61
When we believe
right of all wrong,
00:07:57.62\00:08:01.39
eventually we will
believe evil of all good.
00:08:01.42\00:08:04.87
In this day and age where
error is accepted as though
00:08:06.91\00:08:09.89
delivered by God, which it's
not, it is hard to see light
00:08:09.92\00:08:14.23
when you have made your
mind accustomed to darkness.
00:08:14.53\00:08:17.32
When you have accepted a
lie, it is almost against your
00:08:17.70\00:08:21.82
natural mental
grain to now begin to love
00:08:21.85\00:08:24.79
and embrace the truth.
00:08:24.82\00:08:26.00
And we're living, even though
we have so many evidences,
00:08:26.03\00:08:28.76
we are living in one
of the darkest periods
00:08:28.77\00:08:31.00
in earth's history.
00:08:31.03\00:08:32.08
Categorized also by the last
church, the church of Laodicea.
00:08:32.11\00:08:36.04
Filled with goods.
00:08:36.72\00:08:38.26
Magnificent mega and giga
churches in our world today,
00:08:38.56\00:08:41.77
but oh how dark
many of them are.
00:08:42.07\00:08:44.85
That's why Paul the
apostle wrote these words in
00:08:45.31\00:08:47.49
Romans 14 and verse 6.
00:08:47.52\00:08:48.80
He said:
00:08:48.83\00:08:49.83
What he means by
that is simply this.
00:08:55.96\00:08:57.90
People, when you try
to communicate the truth
00:08:58.31\00:09:00.64
from God's word, under
some spiritual bend or some
00:09:00.65\00:09:06.16
satanic bend, they turn
what you say into something
00:09:06.19\00:09:09.97
that seems to be bad.
00:09:09.98\00:09:11.78
You communicate the
message of the Sabbath,
00:09:12.04\00:09:14.04
or the state of the dead, or
any of the tenants of the faith,
00:09:14.07\00:09:18.31
or any of the 28 fundamentals,
and people, even Christians
00:09:18.34\00:09:21.98
that receive it, almost receives
it as though it's something bad.
00:09:21.99\00:09:26.39
And then evil is spoken
of it when it really is good.
00:09:26.42\00:09:31.07
John the apostle
was also given a glimpse
00:09:31.36\00:09:34.05
of the coming religious shift.
00:09:34.25\00:09:36.51
Jude 1 and verse 3,
look at what he says.
00:09:36.87\00:09:40.30
Let me just say something.
00:09:48.08\00:09:49.08
There's a common
salvation in Christendom.
00:09:49.10\00:09:51.41
That is simply this; we believe
that we are saved by grace
00:09:51.44\00:09:54.27
through faith in
Jesus Christ alone.
00:09:54.30\00:09:56.11
Can you say amen.
00:09:56.14\00:09:57.47
That's the common salvation.
00:09:57.50\00:09:59.23
But John didn't leave it there.
00:09:59.60\00:10:02.88
He said, "But there's something
I need to talk to you about.
00:10:02.91\00:10:05.42
Although we have a common
salvation and we look to Jesus,
00:10:05.45\00:10:08.41
everyone of us,
there's something I need to
00:10:08.44\00:10:10.20
pull your coat tail about."
00:10:10.23\00:10:11.66
As he continues, he said:
00:10:12.13\00:10:13.70
When the apostles began to
die out, the truths of the cross
00:10:27.23\00:10:31.60
began to fade away with them.
00:10:31.63\00:10:33.15
When Roman persecution began to
rise up under the Roman Emperor
00:10:33.18\00:10:36.14
Diocletian from 303 to 313
AD, all those who had faithfully
00:10:36.17\00:10:40.68
embraced the message,
that was given to them by the
00:10:40.71\00:10:42.64
apostolic
church, began to die off.
00:10:42.67\00:10:44.99
And Rome sought in
strategic and very military ways
00:10:45.26\00:10:48.44
to break the church down and
turn its attention right back
00:10:48.47\00:10:52.12
to the reigning and
ruling power of Rome.
00:10:52.15\00:10:54.55
As a matter of fact,
the entire New Testament,
00:10:54.58\00:10:56.53
its entire history comes from
the time that Rome was in power.
00:10:57.71\00:11:02.90
From the very first chapter in
Matthew to the very last chapter
00:11:02.93\00:11:07.13
in the book of Revelation,
all existing, all taken from
00:11:07.16\00:11:10.51
the period under
the reign of Rome.
00:11:10.52\00:11:12.75
However, as God led men to
be faithful to what God called
00:11:13.14\00:11:17.68
them to, on October 31,
1517, repulsed by the error that
00:11:17.71\00:11:25.36
was taught by the
church of the dark ages,
00:11:25.39\00:11:28.68
Martin Luther began to contend
with the hierarchy of Rome.
00:11:28.71\00:11:34.97
He began what we now call today,
the Protestant Reformation.
00:11:35.00\00:11:40.41
Here's a picture of Martin
Luther nailing his contentions,
00:11:40.44\00:11:45.21
or his thesis, to the church
door at Wittenberg, Germany.
00:11:45.24\00:11:49.59
The other picture to the right
there is the church that is
00:11:49.62\00:11:52.46
now a part of
the Reformation tour.
00:11:52.47\00:11:54.44
You can go to Wittenberg Germany
and it would take you somewhat
00:11:54.45\00:11:57.53
like our pioneer's
tour in the northeast.
00:11:57.56\00:12:00.01
That's the church there
where people pass by and they
00:12:00.04\00:12:02.33
see that as a place where the
Protestant Reformation began.
00:12:02.36\00:12:05.57
In other words, God
began a movement to restore
00:12:05.60\00:12:09.87
the integrity of the Bible.
00:12:09.90\00:12:12.37
The Bible had been stamped out.
00:12:14.01\00:12:15.72
That's why when
you study history...
00:12:15.75\00:12:17.40
I loved history.
00:12:17.41\00:12:18.44
As a matter of
fact, that was one of my
00:12:18.45\00:12:19.45
favorite subjects in school.
00:12:19.46\00:12:20.78
Science and history and math,
one of my favorite subjects.
00:12:20.81\00:12:23.42
It was when I began to
study history in school
00:12:24.18\00:12:26.52
that I realized how much
the Bible was parallel to many
00:12:27.08\00:12:31.86
events that unfolded in history.
00:12:31.87\00:12:33.97
Namely, the dark ages.
Also called, the medieval times.
00:12:34.00\00:12:36.84
Medieval, because the times
that the Protestant Reformation
00:12:36.87\00:12:39.92
was catapulted was
during the times that evil was
00:12:39.95\00:12:42.87
in its middle stages.
00:12:42.90\00:12:44.86
People were put to
death, considered heretics.
00:12:44.89\00:12:48.63
And those who were outside of
the church, the church of Rome,
00:12:48.66\00:12:51.53
gave the job to the
civil government to inflict
00:12:51.56\00:12:54.56
the penalties, just
like it happened to Jesus.
00:12:54.59\00:12:57.67
The Jews gave the Romans the
job to inflict civil penalties
00:12:57.70\00:13:01.43
on Jesus, "for religious
infractions," they said.
00:13:01.44\00:13:04.72
And during the dark ages,
God did not forget His people.
00:13:05.07\00:13:09.53
The Word of God, though
trampled down, the Word of God
00:13:09.56\00:13:13.83
continued to shine in the hearts
of those who sought for it.
00:13:13.86\00:13:17.90
And Martin Luther, as he
went on a pilgrimage to the
00:13:18.26\00:13:22.39
Vatican City, to Rome, as he
went there and read the Bible
00:13:22.42\00:13:26.07
that was chained to the
altars, which only the bishops
00:13:26.10\00:13:28.74
and the popes had
access to, he began to read.
00:13:28.77\00:13:31.32
And the Bible says in Psalm 119
verse 130, listen to the words.
00:13:31.35\00:13:35.90
Martin Luther began to
read the Bible for himself.
00:13:44.71\00:13:47.14
And he stayed in this pilgrimage
in Rome much longer than he
00:13:47.17\00:13:50.07
intended to be there.
00:13:50.08\00:13:52.51
He stayed there to
read the Bible for himself.
00:13:52.54\00:13:55.11
And he began to formulate
and understand that the theory
00:13:55.51\00:13:58.81
and the source of his salvation
was not by the works that
00:13:58.82\00:14:03.01
he had formerly embraced.
00:14:03.02\00:14:04.68
But simply by the
faith; by faith in Jesus,
00:14:06.33\00:14:10.14
by faith in His word.
00:14:10.15\00:14:11.92
And so he stood
on that platform,
00:14:12.67\00:14:14.78
"The just shall live by faith."
00:14:14.81\00:14:17.47
And he turned around and
left a different man than he was
00:14:17.50\00:14:20.16
when he went to Rome.
00:14:20.19\00:14:21.43
The Protestant
Reformation began.
00:14:22.32\00:14:24.11
And the revolt was against the
teachings of the Roman church.
00:14:24.51\00:14:27.40
It was also called in history,
00:14:27.41\00:14:29.12
the European
Christian Reform Movement.
00:14:29.13\00:14:33.38
Fueled by men like
Martin Luther and John Calvin.
00:14:33.84\00:14:37.46
They were chief
among the reformers.
00:14:37.49\00:14:39.42
But they were joined by a man by
the name of Philip Melanchthon.
00:14:39.45\00:14:44.12
What they did together, as they
rejected the system of works
00:14:44.70\00:14:48.02
that was put
together by Roman Catholicism,
00:14:48.05\00:14:50.31
they began to systematically
put the Bible together.
00:14:50.32\00:14:53.65
As a matter of fact, Martin
Luther, refusing to recant
00:14:53.68\00:14:56.63
what he believed, he was
sought by the Roman government.
00:14:56.66\00:14:59.46
And they asked him to
recant what he believed,
00:14:59.96\00:15:02.40
and he refused to.
00:15:02.41\00:15:03.41
And then they said, "Well,
since you will not give it up,
00:15:03.42\00:15:05.84
we're going to take your life."
00:15:05.87\00:15:06.96
And Martin Luther was
hidden by one of his friends
00:15:06.99\00:15:14.35
in a castle in Germany.
00:15:14.38\00:15:16.18
And there, he faithfully
methodically translated the
00:15:17.69\00:15:21.86
Bible from Latin to German.
00:15:21.89\00:15:25.12
He unchained the Bible
from the altars of Rome
00:15:26.39\00:15:29.63
and began to pass it
among the common man.
00:15:29.64\00:15:33.15
What a thing to be put in jail
for; putting the Word of God
00:15:33.55\00:15:36.89
in the hand of the common man.
00:15:36.92\00:15:39.08
Not allowed by the powers
and the governments of Rome.
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.86
John Calvin was a French
theologian who also broke away
00:15:44.21\00:15:48.38
from the Roman church.
00:15:48.41\00:15:49.78
Philip Melanchthon joined
Luther and Calvin as reformers.
00:15:49.81\00:15:53.18
And when they stood up toe
to toe with the Roman hierarchy
00:15:53.21\00:15:56.39
and challenged them on
every point, they were able
00:15:56.42\00:15:59.62
by the Word of God
to defend their faith
00:15:59.65\00:16:02.37
with a, "thus saith the Lord."
00:16:02.40\00:16:04.09
That's why today, if you
don't know what the Bible says,
00:16:05.07\00:16:07.05
you are of no value
to the cause of God.
00:16:07.08\00:16:09.69
You've got to store it in
your mind, because the day is
00:16:10.21\00:16:11.84
going to come when this
book will not be with you.
00:16:11.87\00:16:14.56
And the Lord has promised
He will bring back to our minds
00:16:14.59\00:16:18.56
those very things
that we have learned.
00:16:18.59\00:16:21.28
He will fill our
hearts with those things that
00:16:21.31\00:16:23.55
we have stored there.
00:16:23.58\00:16:25.00
You can't get money
out of the bank if you
00:16:25.46\00:16:27.01
haven't put it there.
00:16:27.04\00:16:28.07
And the Word of God
can't come back unless
00:16:28.38\00:16:29.95
you've stored it there.
00:16:29.96\00:16:31.19
This is the
hour, this is the time.
00:16:31.54\00:16:33.66
The times of
peace and prosperity.
00:16:33.69\00:16:35.70
That's why Satan works
so hard to keep us busy with
00:16:35.71\00:16:38.01
things that do not
pertain to studying the Bible.
00:16:38.04\00:16:40.72
You can't cram for a
final exam in one day.
00:16:41.00\00:16:44.43
And you can't cram for
the final spiritual exam
00:16:44.46\00:16:47.65
unless we begin by
studying the Word of God now.
00:16:47.68\00:16:50.22
These three men
stood up together.
00:16:50.25\00:16:53.32
Here's a picture
of these reformers;
00:16:53.33\00:16:55.06
Martin Luther, John
Calvin, and Philip Melanchthon.
00:16:55.09\00:16:59.33
Obviously, these were
artist conceptions because they
00:16:59.81\00:17:02.99
didn't have cameras back then.
00:17:03.00\00:17:04.19
But you'll notice that
these men were dressed in the
00:17:04.21\00:17:06.99
garb of their day.
00:17:07.02\00:17:08.42
But it was less about
how they were dressed.
00:17:08.45\00:17:11.09
It was more
about what fueled them.
00:17:11.12\00:17:13.36
These men were like the
ancient reformers of Israel.
00:17:13.73\00:17:16.26
And there's a text in 1
Chronicles 12 and verse 32
00:17:16.29\00:17:19.08
that's really pertinent
to any time in which God
00:17:19.11\00:17:21.56
calls us to stand firmly.
00:17:21.59\00:17:22.89
Look at what it says.
00:17:22.92\00:17:24.18
These men were likened
unto the sons of Issachar.
00:17:25.90\00:17:29.69
Brothers and sisters, those
joining us, we have to have
00:17:36.20\00:17:38.62
an understanding of the
times to know what to do.
00:17:38.65\00:17:42.31
That's why Solomon says
that we should redeem the time,
00:17:42.53\00:17:46.73
because the days are evil.
00:17:46.76\00:17:48.45
If you look at the world around
you, everything is crumbling.
00:17:48.48\00:17:50.62
You don't try to put
your roof on when you see
00:17:52.05\00:17:54.46
the rain clouds coming.
00:17:54.47\00:17:55.98
You do it while the
sun is still shining.
00:17:56.01\00:17:58.74
God has given us days of
peace to get ready before the
00:17:58.77\00:18:01.43
days of storms come.
00:18:01.46\00:18:03.10
And the storm is
building on the horizon.
00:18:03.13\00:18:05.35
But it always
begins as a subtle breeze.
00:18:05.38\00:18:07.81
But before you know it, the
storm will be right upon us.
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.72
These are days that we
have to understand the times
00:18:10.73\00:18:14.09
and know what we ought
to do to prepare for the
00:18:14.12\00:18:17.28
trials that are ahead.
00:18:17.29\00:18:18.62
The Protestant Reformation
began to spread like a storm
00:18:18.65\00:18:21.61
in northern Europe.
00:18:21.64\00:18:22.92
Every country, with the
exception of Ireland and pockets
00:18:22.94\00:18:26.19
in Britain, to God's glory,
they began to turn Protestant.
00:18:26.20\00:18:29.46
Do you know what that means?
00:18:29.47\00:18:30.47
They began to
move back to the Bible.
00:18:30.48\00:18:32.01
Can somebody say amen.
00:18:32.04\00:18:33.19
Southern Europe
remained Catholic, though.
00:18:33.73\00:18:37.08
Italy, Spain, Greece, Serbia,
Portugal, Gibraltar, and Croatia
00:18:37.28\00:18:42.19
just to name a few.
00:18:42.20\00:18:43.47
There was a dividing line
between the north and the south.
00:18:43.50\00:18:47.59
That's why there were
constant wars in Central Europe.
00:18:47.62\00:18:53.01
Because those from the
south sought to increase their
00:18:53.04\00:18:55.56
territory to the north and
take back what Protestantism
00:18:55.59\00:18:58.50
had taken from them.
00:18:58.51\00:18:59.51
And Protestantism, pushing down,
sought to take from Catholicism
00:18:59.54\00:19:03.65
what they had stolen from God.
00:19:03.68\00:19:05.65
Constant wars in Central Europe.
00:19:05.68\00:19:08.46
Here's a map of how the
territories were divided.
00:19:08.49\00:19:11.02
You have Northern, Southern,
Western, and Eastern Europe.
00:19:11.05\00:19:14.97
The colors are
associated; blue for Northern,
00:19:15.00\00:19:17.29
green for Southern,
lighter blue for Western,
00:19:17.32\00:19:20.85
and somewhat of a pink
there for Eastern Europe.
00:19:20.88\00:19:24.56
That's how Europe was divided.
00:19:24.59\00:19:26.77
And the Bible predicted
that it would be divided.
00:19:26.80\00:19:30.59
It said, because of the
iron, it will never cleave.
00:19:32.17\00:19:36.63
The clay and the iron
could never mix together.
00:19:36.66\00:19:39.24
And boy did they try
to make Europe united.
00:19:39.27\00:19:42.19
But something you
have to keep in mind,
00:19:42.22\00:19:43.72
understanding the
times to know what to do.
00:19:43.73\00:19:45.58
Today, Europe
is somewhat united.
00:19:45.61\00:19:48.81
United economically.
00:19:48.82\00:19:50.89
Not politically.
00:19:51.17\00:19:53.24
They are united
under the Euro dollar.
00:19:53.27\00:19:56.04
They're seeking to establish
what's called, a common market.
00:19:56.07\00:19:59.23
Because according to
prophecy, they'll never
00:19:59.26\00:20:01.86
be united religiously.
00:20:01.89\00:20:04.08
And when God says
never, He means never.
00:20:04.11\00:20:06.09
What do you say?
00:20:06.12\00:20:07.16
See, Babylon came down.
00:20:07.57\00:20:08.98
God said it
would never rise again.
00:20:09.01\00:20:10.77
But now we have a spiritual
Babylon that took its place.
00:20:11.07\00:20:14.83
The Roman Catholic Church
launched what was called a
00:20:15.20\00:20:17.66
counter reformation
because the wars were so fierce.
00:20:17.69\00:20:20.95
They could not defeat
the Protestant reformers
00:20:20.98\00:20:23.64
based on the Bible because
they couldn't gainsay what the
00:20:23.65\00:20:27.67
Bible had already taught.
00:20:27.68\00:20:28.98
You cannot fight
against the sword of the Spirit
00:20:28.99\00:20:30.95
because it's two-edged.
00:20:30.96\00:20:31.99
It cuts up error no matter which
way you throw it at the Bible.
00:20:32.02\00:20:35.18
Both ways they were succeeding.
00:20:35.69\00:20:37.75
And every Christian
that was persecuted,
00:20:37.78\00:20:40.46
one drop of
blood, history says...
00:20:40.49\00:20:42.75
Read Foxe's Book Of Martyrs,
if you have a strong stomach.
00:20:42.78\00:20:45.59
But every Christian that
died, two or three sprung up
00:20:47.02\00:20:49.58
in his or her place.
00:20:49.61\00:20:50.86
They could not stamp
out the light of God.
00:20:51.16\00:20:52.80
And the blood of the
saints became seed and catalysts
00:20:52.83\00:20:56.46
for the growth
of truth in Europe.
00:20:56.49\00:20:59.51
And so, what did Rome do?
00:21:00.34\00:21:01.34
They launched a
counter reformation.
00:21:01.37\00:21:03.29
The focus became art, music,
literature, politics, science.
00:21:05.03\00:21:11.75
And then also,
religious reformation.
00:21:11.78\00:21:15.87
If you look at what's happening
today, the same paradigm shift
00:21:15.90\00:21:19.04
is taking place in
the Christian world.
00:21:19.07\00:21:20.81
We focus more on the music.
00:21:20.84\00:21:22.40
And now our big push
in religion is politics.
00:21:22.41\00:21:25.53
Why?
00:21:26.25\00:21:27.25
Because what Rome did in Europe,
they are now including us in
00:21:27.35\00:21:31.90
here in America.
00:21:31.93\00:21:33.70
And so, how did Rome
successfully catapult
00:21:34.51\00:21:36.87
the counter reformation?
00:21:36.90\00:21:39.89
From 1545 to 1563, Rome
launched a counter reformation
00:21:40.41\00:21:46.27
and they established something
called, the Council of Trent.
00:21:46.30\00:21:50.77
What did I say?
The Council of Trent.
00:21:51.17\00:21:54.09
The Council of Trent met
in the capital city of the
00:21:54.12\00:21:58.47
holy Roman Empire.
00:21:58.48\00:21:59.85
It's now simply called Italy.
00:21:59.86\00:22:02.22
Here's a picture of the Council
of Trent as it met in session
00:22:02.25\00:22:05.93
in the Santa
Maria Maggiore church.
00:22:05.94\00:22:09.74
Large contingency, all
the leaders of the Roman world
00:22:09.77\00:22:14.13
gathering together.
00:22:14.16\00:22:15.30
And the purpose of
their gathering was,
00:22:15.33\00:22:17.65
"What do we do with
these Protestant reformers?
00:22:17.68\00:22:20.06
How do we quiet them?
00:22:20.09\00:22:21.80
How can we strengthen
our efforts to block out
00:22:21.83\00:22:25.38
and stop the
progress of the Bible?"
00:22:25.39\00:22:27.31
As a matter of fact, in the
Latin, "Concilium Tridentinum"
00:22:27.61\00:22:31.52
simply means, or the "Council
of Trent" in Latin means,
00:22:31.55\00:22:34.99
an ecumenical movement.
00:22:35.02\00:22:37.70
The word
"ecumenical" is the Greek word
00:22:37.71\00:22:39.87
for the inhabited world.
00:22:39.90\00:22:41.40
And the word "catholic" is
the Greek word for "universal".
00:22:41.43\00:22:45.32
So here you have the
Catholic universal church
00:22:45.35\00:22:49.19
getting together with an
ecumenical, a worldwide agenda.
00:22:49.20\00:22:53.26
Pushing it and structuring
it through the Council of Trent.
00:22:54.04\00:22:58.23
But is this a surprise to God?
00:22:58.26\00:23:00.46
Not at all.
00:23:00.49\00:23:01.68
Look at Daniel 7 and verse 23.
00:23:01.71\00:23:03.70
The Bible predicted the
rise of the power of Rome.
00:23:03.73\00:23:07.44
Here's what the Bible says.
00:23:07.47\00:23:08.93
Daniel 7 verse 23.
00:23:09.52\00:23:11.25
The iron kingdom of Rome.
00:23:29.38\00:23:30.88
The iron kingdom.
00:23:31.51\00:23:32.57
What made it different was, it
was a religio-political system.
00:23:32.60\00:23:37.10
And today, it is still a
religio-political system.
00:23:37.13\00:23:42.24
Today, it's regaining
its strength and momentum
00:23:43.21\00:23:46.77
that it once had
during the dark ages.
00:23:46.78\00:23:49.49
The topic of the Council
of Trent was Protestantism
00:23:49.79\00:23:52.87
and the counter reformation.
00:23:52.90\00:23:54.25
You had two churches.
00:23:54.28\00:23:55.64
One pushing in the
direction of the Bible,
00:23:55.67\00:23:58.37
the other one
bolstering its strength in the
00:23:58.40\00:24:01.89
direction of tradition.
00:24:01.90\00:24:04.14
But the challenge for Rome
was; how do you attack and win
00:24:04.17\00:24:09.22
when your sword
is non-scriptural?
00:24:09.25\00:24:11.71
They couldn't do it.
00:24:12.79\00:24:13.86
They had to find a way to at
least strengthen their arsenal
00:24:13.89\00:24:17.64
against the
Protestant reformers.
00:24:17.65\00:24:19.32
But they couldn't do it
if they chose the same sword.
00:24:19.35\00:24:22.79
Let me make a point here.
00:24:23.32\00:24:24.40
I remember once preaching
and teaching when I was up in
00:24:24.43\00:24:26.98
northern California and
I had a Revelation seminar.
00:24:27.01\00:24:29.34
I talked about
that a few nights ago.
00:24:29.35\00:24:30.75
And when I began my Revelation
seminar, all of sudden,
00:24:31.26\00:24:33.98
all the other churches
in town about a week later
00:24:34.01\00:24:36.04
began to have prophecy
seminars just to counteract
00:24:36.07\00:24:38.94
my Revelation seminar.
00:24:39.34\00:24:40.75
I got a letter from a
pastor whose member was very
00:24:41.04\00:24:44.43
disgruntled that
she was learning truth.
00:24:44.46\00:24:46.82
And so he wrote me a letter.
00:24:47.03\00:24:48.51
And I still have it in my
possession to this very day.
00:24:48.54\00:24:50.97
The letter had
the following content:
00:24:51.75\00:24:54.95
"I have my
scriptures and you have yours."
00:24:57.80\00:25:01.53
I wrote him back, "I
don't have any scriptures,
00:25:04.51\00:25:07.03
and neither do you.
00:25:07.06\00:25:08.29
And the Bible does not
back up two opposing views."
00:25:08.32\00:25:12.99
But he also said something like
the Roman church would have said
00:25:13.44\00:25:16.11
during the dark ages.
00:25:16.14\00:25:17.18
He said to me, "For the sake of
your church and our community,
00:25:17.19\00:25:20.14
please
reconsider your position."
00:25:20.17\00:25:21.71
I took that as a
threat. I'm from New York City.
00:25:21.74\00:25:24.04
That sounded
like fighting words.
00:25:24.60\00:25:25.82
So I made an
appointment to meet with him.
00:25:25.85\00:25:27.47
And I waited until
he came back from his
00:25:28.25\00:25:29.85
missionary trips in Africa.
00:25:29.88\00:25:30.97
And I was there sitting in his
office when he came in that day.
00:25:31.00\00:25:33.36
And I had a very respectful
conversation with him.
00:25:33.83\00:25:36.88
I challenged him, if he
didn't like what I was teaching,
00:25:36.91\00:25:40.19
I said, "Let's
meet in your church.
00:25:40.22\00:25:41.79
Let's have a
meeting in your church.
00:25:41.82\00:25:44.17
Let them ask me questions
and let them ask you questions,
00:25:44.20\00:25:46.81
and let us both
answer from the Bible."
00:25:46.84\00:25:48.48
Well I can
guarantee you he said "no."
00:25:49.26\00:25:51.72
And then I said to him,
respectfully but very straight,
00:25:54.20\00:25:57.01
"So therefore, I'm going to
continue to preach and teach
00:25:57.90\00:26:00.64
what I'm preaching and teaching.
00:26:00.67\00:26:02.03
Don't every threaten me again."
00:26:02.06\00:26:04.19
And I walked out hoping there
was nothing pointing at my back.
00:26:04.56\00:26:08.01
Because he was a very powerful
man, the largest church in town.
00:26:09.26\00:26:11.74
Matter of fact, the
lady that he was tormenting,
00:26:11.97\00:26:13.64
a lady that was up in years,
she held the purse strings
00:26:13.67\00:26:17.90
for the building of
that new church facility.
00:26:17.93\00:26:20.23
And the pastor and her
son and other church members
00:26:20.24\00:26:22.38
pressured her into
not accepting the truth.
00:26:22.41\00:26:24.39
And I said, "Lord,
she's in your hand.
00:26:24.42\00:26:26.22
I'm not
requiring anything of her."
00:26:26.23\00:26:27.90
I knew where her heart
was, and so did the Lord.
00:26:27.93\00:26:30.16
But they refused to allow her to
attend that church, our church,
00:26:30.17\00:26:32.94
because she had the money that
was going to be the catalyst
00:26:32.97\00:26:35.71
for building their new church.
00:26:35.74\00:26:37.38
Well friends, when it
comes to truth, money means
00:26:37.68\00:26:39.35
absolutely nothing.
00:26:39.38\00:26:40.46
I'd rather lose all my
money and live for the truth
00:26:40.95\00:26:44.27
and have eternal life.
00:26:44.30\00:26:45.42
What do you say?
00:26:45.45\00:26:46.59
They did not know
how to fight against
00:26:46.62\00:26:48.51
the Protestant reformers.
00:26:48.54\00:26:49.76
And so they
began to do something.
00:26:49.79\00:26:51.62
And they began to
shift from what the
00:26:51.72\00:26:53.28
Bible says to tradition.
00:26:53.29\00:26:58.08
They began to
persecute men whose sole purpose
00:26:58.88\00:27:01.60
was to put the Bible back
into the hands of common man.
00:27:01.61\00:27:05.13
And the Bible also predicted
the ruthlessness of Rome.
00:27:05.16\00:27:08.20
Daniel 7 verse 7,
notice what it says, again.
00:27:08.21\00:27:10.81
That's how God describes
the power that embraced
00:27:21.37\00:27:25.64
the world through Rome.
00:27:25.67\00:27:27.02
And when you follow history, you
find the ten nations of Europe.
00:27:44.62\00:27:47.52
The three that opposed
Rome; the Vandals, the Heruli,
00:27:47.82\00:27:50.79
and the Visigoths.
00:27:50.82\00:27:52.22
And Rome
methodically brought them down.
00:27:53.13\00:27:55.17
And when Rome brought down the
very last power that opposed it,
00:27:55.20\00:27:58.69
Rome began an
uninterrupted unobstructed reign
00:27:58.72\00:28:02.04
from 538 to 1798, when the dark
ages were officially launched.
00:28:02.07\00:28:07.49
And the Bible
predicted that also.
00:28:07.96\00:28:09.64
It said that Rome would
persecute the saints of the
00:28:09.89\00:28:12.25
Most High for a time,
times, and dividing of time.
00:28:12.28\00:28:15.12
1260 years Rome
reigned almost unchallenged.
00:28:15.46\00:28:19.27
But all of a sudden in the midst
of their reign, here comes men
00:28:19.46\00:28:22.07
that said, "Hey, it's
time to get back to the Bible."
00:28:22.08\00:28:24.27
Brothers and sisters, it's
time to get back to the Bible.
00:28:24.28\00:28:26.78
They couldn't stop the roll,
they couldn't stop the rain.
00:28:27.51\00:28:30.43
But look what they did.
00:28:30.46\00:28:31.64
The Council of
Trent was determined.
00:28:31.67\00:28:33.42
Iron kingdom.
00:28:33.45\00:28:34.61
All roads, as
history said, led to Rome.
00:28:34.97\00:28:38.24
Every king had to bow
to the authority of Rome.
00:28:38.25\00:28:40.99
But look what the
Council of Trent did.
00:28:41.29\00:28:43.26
The Council of Trent, when
they met from 1559 to 1563,
00:28:44.64\00:28:49.20
they wrote the following words.
00:28:49.23\00:28:51.04
They began to exalt
tradition up to the standard
00:29:05.92\00:29:11.41
of the Scripture.
00:29:11.42\00:29:12.92
Look at the very next
slide and you'll notice,
00:29:12.95\00:29:15.14
Roman Catholicism, how
they developed their teaching.
00:29:15.15\00:29:17.97
Roman Catholicism's
doctrinal formation was
00:29:18.00\00:29:20.82
sacred scripture
and sacred tradition.
00:29:20.85\00:29:24.32
In other words, they determined
what, in tradition, was sacred.
00:29:24.52\00:29:28.65
When you follow the
history, they began to borrow
00:29:29.08\00:29:32.56
from the history of
the kings before them,
00:29:32.59\00:29:34.93
the Roman Emperors before them;
like Roman Emperor Justinian,
00:29:34.96\00:29:38.73
Roman Emperor Constantine.
00:29:38.76\00:29:40.43
In 168 AD, the first
Sunday law was issued.
00:29:41.75\00:29:44.87
But it was not a law in
the sense that everybody had to
00:29:44.90\00:29:47.49
keep it under penalty of death.
00:29:47.50\00:29:48.89
Then in 321 AD, May 321 AD,
another Sunday law was passed.
00:29:48.92\00:29:54.64
But those were not the Sunday
laws that made it an issue
00:29:56.50\00:29:59.97
for the world in the
sense of whether or not
00:30:00.00\00:30:02.23
your life was on the line.
00:30:02.26\00:30:03.80
But Rome re-enforced
itself during the dark ages.
00:30:04.85\00:30:07.58
Here's how the Protestants
established their teachings.
00:30:07.61\00:30:10.02
The Protestants stood up and
said to the Roman government...
00:30:10.05\00:30:12.57
Look at this slide.
00:30:12.60\00:30:13.73
...sola scriptura, the
Bible and the Bible only.
00:30:15.05\00:30:23.74
The Bible and the Bible only.
00:30:23.77\00:30:25.89
How do you fight somebody with
the Bible by using the Bible?
00:30:25.92\00:30:29.93
They couldn't do it.
00:30:29.96\00:30:31.03
That's why I appreciate
what Ellen White says.
00:30:31.27\00:30:33.06
A lot of people
misunderstand her place
00:30:33.09\00:30:34.77
in the Adventist church.
00:30:34.80\00:30:35.97
But listen to what she
says about this very same
00:30:36.00\00:30:38.77
Protestant creed in the
book, The Great Controversy,
00:30:38.80\00:30:41.33
the 1888 edition, page 205.
00:30:41.36\00:30:43.61
Listen to what she says,
speaking about the Bible.
00:30:43.62\00:30:45.31
That's what we are.
00:31:10.83\00:31:11.90
If you're a Protestant,
your creed is the Bible
00:31:11.93\00:31:14.88
and the Bible only.
00:31:14.89\00:31:15.96
But you're finding today
that what's being taught in
00:31:15.99\00:31:18.06
Protestantism is not
really Protestant at all.
00:31:18.09\00:31:21.46
What's really being
taught in Protestantism
00:31:21.47\00:31:23.11
is baptized
paganism to a great degree,
00:31:23.14\00:31:25.52
and refurbished Catholicism.
00:31:25.55\00:31:27.80
The lines have been dimmed.
00:31:28.80\00:31:30.87
Rome made sure that
the Protestant reformers
00:31:30.90\00:31:34.20
did not get the Bibles in
the hands of the common man
00:31:34.23\00:31:37.19
without opposing them,
without instilling persecution.
00:31:37.22\00:31:40.47
But something happened very
significant going many years
00:31:40.94\00:31:44.77
forward in the 1900's.
00:31:44.80\00:31:46.54
Two particular popes.
00:31:46.57\00:31:48.57
Here's the
pictures of both of them.
00:31:48.60\00:31:50.38
Pope John Paul
XXIII and Pope Paul VI.
00:31:50.41\00:31:55.86
They both said:
00:31:56.53\00:31:57.60
Notice, from 1881 to
1963 and from 1897 to 1978.
00:32:09.68\00:32:14.30
These men both met
similar to each other.
00:32:14.33\00:32:17.81
One followed the other.
00:32:17.84\00:32:19.73
The first Pope that
called for the second council
00:32:20.34\00:32:25.59
died before the
council was held.
00:32:26.95\00:32:29.08
Taken up by the
Pope that followed him.
00:32:30.19\00:32:32.11
And they both said, what
the church did during the 1500's
00:32:32.64\00:32:36.56
still exists to the very day.
00:32:36.59\00:32:40.65
What actually is that?
00:32:40.68\00:32:42.16
What did the church do
that continues to exist
00:32:42.19\00:32:44.91
to the very day.
00:32:44.94\00:32:46.30
Listen to what the
Council of Trent did.
00:32:46.33\00:32:48.54
The Catechism of the
Council of Trent, page 402.
00:32:50.11\00:32:54.34
The Council of Trent did that.
00:33:06.10\00:33:07.51
So when these two
popes in our modern time
00:33:07.52\00:33:09.90
said that the Council of Trent
still exists in our modern era,
00:33:09.93\00:33:13.27
and the principles
continue to be proliferated,
00:33:13.30\00:33:15.39
they're saying,
what they did then
00:33:15.42\00:33:17.13
we still see it existing today.
00:33:17.16\00:33:18.87
But let's continue.
00:33:18.90\00:33:19.93
That's what the
Council of Trent did in 1566.
00:33:48.62\00:33:52.51
Well let's continue,
because when this came up
00:33:52.54\00:33:54.56
the challenge came to
Rome, "How could you do that?
00:33:54.59\00:33:57.87
How and where do you
get the authority from?"
00:33:57.88\00:34:00.12
And look at the question.
00:34:00.62\00:34:01.73
The questioning
to Rome continued.
00:34:41.47\00:34:43.30
And by the way, the references
are sometimes almost as long
00:34:51.96\00:34:54.64
as the quote itself.
00:34:54.67\00:34:55.85
But I put it there just so
you know that it's not something
00:34:56.25\00:34:58.88
that was arbitrarily
put together, but it exists
00:34:58.91\00:35:01.48
in actual writing.
00:35:01.51\00:35:03.15
Have you ever played
hide and seek before?
00:35:22.44\00:35:24.02
Trying to find people
where they're not really hiding?
00:35:25.53\00:35:27.64
Many Protestant leaders
are trying to find in the Bible
00:35:29.88\00:35:32.67
what is not really there?
00:35:32.70\00:35:35.05
Trying to find foundation...
00:35:35.63\00:35:37.19
That's why I was so thankful...
00:35:37.20\00:35:38.20
I'm glad I
heard Shelley's voice.
00:35:38.21\00:35:39.47
I was so thankful that God moved
upon Shelley and Danny Shelton
00:35:39.50\00:35:41.90
to put together that book,
The Commandments Twice Removed.
00:35:41.91\00:35:44.49
Five million copies went out.
00:35:44.52\00:35:45.97
Five million copies
sowing seeds of truth,
00:35:46.00\00:35:48.54
harvesting a kingdom
for the coming of our Lord.
00:35:48.57\00:35:51.04
Because this is a
message, though hard to hear,
00:35:52.75\00:35:55.40
must be heard.
00:35:55.43\00:35:57.08
Because this is the
foundation of truth.
00:35:57.88\00:35:59.68
Listen to what
Rome continues to say.
00:36:00.50\00:36:02.69
And I'm so glad, because
the Protestant leaders that are
00:36:03.05\00:36:05.13
trying to find
it in the Bible...
00:36:05.14\00:36:06.33
There are only, by
the way, twelve references
00:36:06.36\00:36:08.35
in the New Testament to
the first day of the week.
00:36:08.38\00:36:09.82
Only twelve.
00:36:09.83\00:36:11.60
Eight of them have to
do with the resurrection.
00:36:11.63\00:36:13.43
So they only have four shots
to find the sanctity of Sunday
00:36:13.87\00:36:18.21
in the New Testament.
00:36:18.24\00:36:19.41
And listen to what Rome
says when the Protestant leaders
00:36:19.42\00:36:22.32
try to find it,
here's what Rome says.
00:36:22.35\00:36:24.22
That's what Rome says,
"We never sanctify that day."
00:36:43.76\00:36:45.58
God sanctified the Day.
00:36:46.90\00:36:48.61
By the way, you can't sanctify
what God never sanctified.
00:36:50.60\00:36:53.02
You can't make holy
what God never made holy.
00:36:53.05\00:36:55.05
Let me use another example.
00:36:55.06\00:36:56.23
Living together does not
sanctify your relationship
00:36:56.26\00:36:59.39
into a marriage in God's sight.
00:36:59.42\00:37:01.10
The churches living together.
00:37:02.32\00:37:03.64
Error,
darkness; living together.
00:37:03.74\00:37:07.28
God never
sanctified that connection.
00:37:07.31\00:37:09.16
Therefore, it is
not accepted by God.
00:37:09.19\00:37:11.71
They continue.
00:37:12.05\00:37:13.22
Look at the
next small quotation.
00:37:13.25\00:37:15.28
That's exactly how
they put the brackets there.
00:37:26.71\00:37:29.04
That's the homage they pay.
00:37:29.44\00:37:30.65
So when a Protestant leader
says he denies the authority,
00:37:30.68\00:37:35.65
or is repulsed by
what Rome teaches,
00:37:35.68\00:37:38.29
Rome says, "So where
did you get Sunday from?
00:37:38.32\00:37:40.77
So on what authority do
you honor the day we set up?
00:37:42.75\00:37:45.75
Huh, come on tell me?"
00:37:45.78\00:37:47.05
They can't find it.
00:37:49.04\00:37:50.40
I remember when I was part
of a pastoral council there in
00:37:51.90\00:37:55.66
northern California,
I remember very well.
00:37:55.69\00:37:57.45
The Catholic priest was
ostracized from attending it
00:37:57.96\00:38:01.56
because the Protestant pastors
said, "We don't want to be
00:38:01.57\00:38:04.68
associated at all
with the Catholic priest."
00:38:04.71\00:38:06.48
But he was my good friend.
00:38:06.51\00:38:07.82
Pastor John
Lawrence, the Catholic priest.
00:38:08.22\00:38:09.91
I would go visit him all
the time, he had lunch together,
00:38:09.94\00:38:11.64
we laughed together.
00:38:11.65\00:38:12.65
Matter of fact, when
the Adventist book mobile
00:38:12.66\00:38:14.15
came through, he would buy books
like the Bible commentaries
00:38:14.22\00:38:17.20
and the entire Conflict series.
00:38:17.23\00:38:18.94
And I said to this Catholic
pastor, I said, "Wait a minute.
00:38:18.97\00:38:23.09
Why are you
buying all those books?"
00:38:23.12\00:38:24.26
And here's what he said,
and I appreciate this so much,
00:38:24.29\00:38:26.37
he said, "I am reading
your books so that when anybody
00:38:26.40\00:38:30.81
ask me what you believe, I can
show them from what you write."
00:38:30.82\00:38:34.03
They never allowed him
to be a part of the council,
00:38:38.45\00:38:40.32
but we still had a friendship,
we still visited together,
00:38:40.35\00:38:42.38
we still laughed together.
00:38:42.39\00:38:43.42
And whenever he began
his Revelation seminar
00:38:44.17\00:38:47.00
to counteract mine, I
visited him and I said,
00:38:47.03\00:38:48.53
"Now what's your
position on Revelation?"
00:38:48.56\00:38:50.01
And he put his finger
on his lip and he said,
00:38:50.04\00:38:51.68
"Actually, I don't have one."
00:38:51.71\00:38:53.20
He just held the meetings
to keep people away from mine.
00:38:54.20\00:38:56.60
But the Lord said
that this would occur.
00:38:58.34\00:39:00.03
Daniel 7 verse 25.
00:39:00.06\00:39:03.88
Speaking of Rome, the Lord says:
00:39:03.91\00:39:05.89
In other words, you ever see
a kid try to hide from an adult?
00:39:23.80\00:39:27.12
They hide like this.
00:39:27.15\00:39:28.59
They figure if they cover
their eyes, you can't see them.
00:39:30.65\00:39:32.91
Like many of us when we
were growing up, you know,
00:39:33.41\00:39:35.09
we figure by
pulling the blanket over,
00:39:35.10\00:39:36.89
the boogie man can't see us.
00:39:36.90\00:39:38.75
Remember that
when you were young?
00:39:38.78\00:39:40.05
Afraid of the dark.
00:39:40.08\00:39:41.07
And so they pull
the blanket over.
00:39:41.92\00:39:43.18
And so all of a
sudden, they think the blanket
00:39:43.21\00:39:44.38
is an invisible shield.
00:39:44.41\00:39:45.83
Well, there are those
who have put their own hands
00:39:46.13\00:39:48.07
over their eyes and they
believe by blinding themselves
00:39:48.10\00:39:50.98
they have blinded God.
00:39:51.01\00:39:52.30
But God said, "Ah, you
think you've changed it."
00:39:52.33\00:39:54.71
But the things that they've
changed, they've altered the
00:39:54.74\00:39:57.18
commandments of God.
00:39:57.21\00:39:58.23
When you read the Catholic
version of the ten commandments,
00:39:58.26\00:40:01.08
they have taken out
the commandment forbidding
00:40:01.11\00:40:03.24
image worship and put
the fourth commandment
00:40:03.27\00:40:05.81
into the third spot.
00:40:05.84\00:40:07.51
And they broke the
tenth commandment into two
00:40:08.12\00:40:10.74
to make up the gap.
00:40:10.77\00:40:12.04
But they only, as far as God
is concerned, they just thought
00:40:13.78\00:40:17.19
that they
changed times and laws.
00:40:17.20\00:40:19.18
The sad reality is, men
have accepted what they did
00:40:19.21\00:40:21.98
over what God has done.
00:40:22.01\00:40:23.47
But how could they do
that unless they felt they
00:40:25.38\00:40:27.22
had some kind of authority.
00:40:27.23\00:40:28.28
Listen to what they
say they believe they have.
00:40:28.31\00:40:30.13
The next
quotation reads as follows.
00:40:31.16\00:40:33.24
In other words, he is,
as it were, God on earth.
00:40:52.77\00:40:55.69
I would say, "Nay, nay."
00:40:55.72\00:40:57.98
God is God in heaven,
and God is God on earth.
00:40:59.14\00:41:01.69
Can you say amen.
00:41:01.72\00:41:02.79
But you have to
remember that Martin Luther
00:41:03.62\00:41:05.30
ignited the
Protestant Reformation.
00:41:05.33\00:41:06.93
Martin Luther was
labeled as a Protestant heretic.
00:41:06.96\00:41:10.06
And Rome never
denounced its error.
00:41:10.09\00:41:13.32
But the first two denominations
that were formed out of the
00:41:14.26\00:41:16.50
Protestant Reformation were
the Lutherans and the Anglicans.
00:41:16.53\00:41:20.32
And Pope John Paul,
before his death, appealed to
00:41:20.93\00:41:24.64
both of these congregations,
both of these denominations,
00:41:24.67\00:41:28.22
to reunite under
the authority of Rome,
00:41:28.25\00:41:30.99
under the authority of Rome.
00:41:31.67\00:41:32.67
Look at this slide
right here very quickly.
00:41:32.70\00:41:34.14
This is a slide, I
got this back in 1980.
00:41:34.95\00:41:38.16
I'm going to try to read that.
00:41:41.55\00:41:42.57
In that particular
article, Pope John Paul II
00:41:55.10\00:41:57.98
calls Martin Luther a
"German rebel theologian."
00:41:58.01\00:42:02.46
A rebel? What did he do?
00:42:02.49\00:42:04.10
He just simply brought the Bible
back to the hand of the people.
00:42:04.13\00:42:06.29
A rebel?
00:42:06.32\00:42:07.33
Because it
unveiled Rome's intent.
00:42:07.36\00:42:09.89
But he comes
now as the spiritual
00:42:09.92\00:42:12.70
inheritant of Martin Luther.
00:42:12.73\00:42:13.85
In other words, you know,
"I'm coming in his place now.
00:42:13.88\00:42:16.59
So since I'm coming
in his place, accept me
00:42:16.62\00:42:20.45
and let's unify
ourselves together again."
00:42:20.46\00:42:22.83
But that's not all.
Look at the next slide.
00:42:23.34\00:42:25.27
The New York Post.
00:42:25.85\00:42:27.06
The next article points
out very clearly what they mean
00:42:49.06\00:42:52.14
by "new relationship."
00:42:52.17\00:42:53.44
How did the
Anglicans respond to that?
00:42:53.47\00:42:55.48
What exactly does that mean?
00:43:04.12\00:43:05.39
Look at the next article.
00:43:05.42\00:43:06.76
That was the year 2007.
00:43:55.06\00:43:56.73
And they got their 42
page document together.
00:43:56.76\00:43:59.64
And friends, would you know it,
they signed on the dotted line.
00:44:00.42\00:44:05.02
"Let's get back together.
00:44:05.05\00:44:06.79
Not on the basis of the
fact that we now embrace
00:44:07.21\00:44:09.70
the Bible together.
00:44:09.73\00:44:10.79
But now tradition seems
more convenient to me now that
00:44:11.25\00:44:14.86
our reforming leaders have
now passed away and are asleep."
00:44:14.89\00:44:19.21
But what does Ellen
White say about this?
00:44:20.03\00:44:21.36
Where is it all headed?
00:44:21.37\00:44:22.37
Look at The Great Controversy,
page 542, the 1888 edition.
00:44:22.38\00:44:29.98
She says:
00:44:31.37\00:44:32.39
So the question is, what is
Rome urging Americans to do?
00:45:00.60\00:45:04.83
And by the way,
let me just say this.
00:45:06.69\00:45:07.99
I stand here today like
Martin Luther, like John Calvin,
00:45:08.02\00:45:12.33
like Philip Melanchthon; a
Protestant who still believes
00:45:14.59\00:45:18.98
that the only rule
of faith in practice is
00:45:19.01\00:45:21.10
God's word, not tradition.
00:45:21.13\00:45:22.71
I stand here as
a reformer in 2011
00:45:24.72\00:45:27.89
carrying the torch of truth.
00:45:28.37\00:45:30.08
Not my truth, but God's truth.
00:45:30.95\00:45:33.35
And I humbly deal with
it because there are souls
00:45:34.20\00:45:36.49
watching and listening
that are yet to be snatched out
00:45:36.52\00:45:39.97
of the jaws of
error and darkness.
00:45:40.00\00:45:42.04
There is space in the kingdom
for those who want to follow
00:45:42.07\00:45:45.22
the Lord and accept His truths.
00:45:45.23\00:45:47.67
The more recent
pope, Pope Benedict,
00:45:47.70\00:45:49.93
made a powerful move.
00:45:49.96\00:45:51.85
Look at this next slide.
00:45:51.86\00:45:53.50
Look at the actual
article as it reads.
00:46:00.53\00:46:02.58
That's what is happening today.
00:47:21.69\00:47:22.87
And American leaders in the
midst of this fragile economy
00:47:23.27\00:47:25.88
are listening to
the voice of Rome.
00:47:25.91\00:47:27.59
I'll show you this afternoon,
Rome says there's a need
00:47:27.62\00:47:30.57
for a leadership in
America and in the world
00:47:30.60\00:47:33.97
that have real teeth.
00:47:34.00\00:47:36.44
Could he mean iron teeth?
00:47:36.47\00:47:38.57
And he's asking the
United States government
00:47:40.41\00:47:43.17
and the leaders of the G8 Summit
and the G20 to give him that
00:47:43.20\00:47:46.69
power so that he can reign in
all the problems of our world;
00:47:46.70\00:47:50.25
financial, economic, global,
whether it's ozone, co2 levels,
00:47:50.28\00:47:56.29
global warming, you name it.
00:47:56.32\00:47:57.36
He says, "I can fix it, but you
have got to give me the power
00:47:57.39\00:48:00.01
to make the
decisions for the world."
00:48:00.53\00:48:02.19
It's coming together
very quickly, because Rome is
00:48:02.79\00:48:05.34
urging Sunday as a
national day in America.
00:48:05.35\00:48:08.89
All you've got
to do is look around
00:48:09.29\00:48:10.77
and you begin to see
a lot of stores closing.
00:48:10.80\00:48:12.80
And they list the
reasons on their store windows
00:48:13.85\00:48:16.43
as to why the close.
00:48:16.46\00:48:17.71
"Because we honor
Sunday as the holy day."
00:48:17.74\00:48:20.01
You can't make holy
what God never made holy.
00:48:21.41\00:48:23.70
You can stay home on Sunday,
like many of us, and rest.
00:48:23.73\00:48:28.26
But it's not a day
that God sanctified.
00:48:28.29\00:48:30.76
You may see that the
final apostasy also answers the
00:48:31.40\00:48:33.94
question, what is the seventh
system of the final coalition.
00:48:33.97\00:48:37.39
The answer to both is
apostate Protestantism.
00:48:37.42\00:48:43.36
Why apostate?
00:48:44.66\00:48:45.91
Protestantism is already
in an apostate condition.
00:48:45.94\00:48:48.81
But right now, there are
many sincere Christians that
00:48:48.84\00:48:51.67
go to church in
every denomination.
00:48:51.68\00:48:53.71
Somebody ought to say amen.
00:48:53.74\00:48:54.89
Some of you are here.
00:48:55.46\00:48:56.62
Some of you came here because
you heard God calling you out
00:48:56.65\00:48:59.41
and you responded to
the truth of God's word,
00:48:59.44\00:49:01.80
to the voice of God's word.
00:49:01.83\00:49:02.97
You responded knowing that
we are living in the last days.
00:49:02.98\00:49:06.16
And when you begin to see
this, as I get to the message on
00:49:06.19\00:49:08.56
the final act, or the last
act, I will show the progress
00:49:08.59\00:49:11.85
already made in America
to create a bond between
00:49:11.86\00:49:14.09
Rome and the
Protestant Americans.
00:49:14.12\00:49:15.51
The leaders in the
churches of America,
00:49:16.17\00:49:18.28
these mega and giga
churches, they do it through
00:49:18.38\00:49:20.41
all these coalitions.
00:49:20.44\00:49:21.76
First was the
Christian coalition.
00:49:21.79\00:49:24.88
Before that, one led
out by Jerry Falwell.
00:49:24.91\00:49:28.66
When he passed away, they
took on a different leadership,
00:49:28.69\00:49:31.67
a different name.
00:49:31.68\00:49:32.68
And all these mega movements,
all these firm strong political
00:49:32.69\00:49:36.06
movements, even
under Pat Robertson.
00:49:36.09\00:49:38.13
Matter of fact, a few years
ago the IRS yanked away his
00:49:38.16\00:49:40.84
501c3 status because they
said, in 1996 Pat Robertson,
00:49:40.87\00:49:45.29
with his organizations
in 49 different states,
00:49:45.32\00:49:48.38
sent out 40 million
flyers to churches telling them
00:49:49.74\00:49:53.11
who to vote for in the election.
00:49:53.14\00:49:54.52
And they said,
"That's a violation.
00:49:55.01\00:49:56.46
You cannot tell the
state, you cannot tell its
00:49:56.49\00:49:58.53
citizens how to vote.
00:49:58.54\00:49:59.54
That's a
violation of your status."
00:49:59.55\00:50:01.02
It took them a
year to get that back.
00:50:01.05\00:50:02.63
But that's what is
happening in America.
00:50:04.84\00:50:06.49
And what are they saying?
00:50:06.52\00:50:07.56
If they can create
the largest voting bloc,
00:50:07.59\00:50:09.46
they can control America.
00:50:09.49\00:50:10.80
And thus control the
destiny of the world.
00:50:10.83\00:50:13.24
Because when America
sneezes, the rest of the world
00:50:13.27\00:50:15.71
catches a cold.
00:50:15.74\00:50:16.95
That's why when President
Reagan sent an ambassador to the
00:50:19.18\00:50:22.77
Vatican, TIME
magazine had the article,
00:50:22.80\00:50:25.42
"Unholy Alliance."
00:50:25.45\00:50:27.67
Against the constitution
of the United States,
00:50:28.40\00:50:30.66
against our Bill Of Rights;
00:50:30.69\00:50:32.18
establishing a political
leader to a holy organization
00:50:32.21\00:50:36.84
when our Constitution strictly
says, our Bill Of Rights
00:50:36.87\00:50:39.23
strictly says, "We
shall make no laws in respect
00:50:39.26\00:50:42.01
to religious or the
free exercise thereof."
00:50:42.02\00:50:45.27
But Rome says
they have the answer.
00:50:45.82\00:50:47.38
And Protestant America
will be the system to unite us
00:50:48.23\00:50:53.31
under the tyranny of Rome.
00:50:53.34\00:50:55.28
The question is, is
Protestant America protesting
00:50:56.23\00:50:58.68
anything anymore?
00:50:58.69\00:50:59.68
Absolutely not.
00:50:59.71\00:51:01.52
Listen to this quotation from
the book, Signs Of The Times,
00:51:01.55\00:51:06.49
to answer the question,
what is the final apostasy?
00:51:07.75\00:51:12.26
Where are we today?
00:52:01.44\00:52:02.68
We are on the brink
of national apostasy,
00:52:03.01\00:52:06.05
to be followed closely on
the heals by national ruin.
00:52:06.08\00:52:11.11
I know what I've said
here today has probably rattled
00:52:11.89\00:52:13.81
some people's cages.
00:52:13.82\00:52:14.82
And they're probably swallowing
right now and drinking water
00:52:14.83\00:52:17.37
and trying to
get their composure.
00:52:17.40\00:52:19.22
But let me just say this.
00:52:19.25\00:52:20.66
I said it not with the
intent of hurting anybody.
00:52:20.69\00:52:23.53
But with the intent just like
I would, I'd bang your door down
00:52:23.54\00:52:26.82
if your house was on fire.
00:52:26.85\00:52:28.32
There are sincere
Christians watching this program
00:52:29.14\00:52:31.53
that will get up
tomorrow morning and go to the
00:52:34.01\00:52:35.91
church of their choice.
00:52:35.94\00:52:37.24
I have no
problem with that at all.
00:52:37.27\00:52:39.70
But this is the day and
age where God is saying,
00:52:41.79\00:52:44.34
if this book is your map, it's
time to get back to the Bible.
00:52:46.39\00:52:52.35
If your destination is
important, it's time to
00:52:53.46\00:52:56.76
get back to the
instructions in the road map
00:52:56.79\00:53:00.20
from this world to the
world that the Lord is preparing
00:53:00.23\00:53:04.59
for everyone of us.
00:53:04.62\00:53:05.98
We're living in a crisis hour.
00:53:06.36\00:53:08.07
Everything that we have trusted
in is crumbling around us.
00:53:08.10\00:53:11.22
You can't trust politicians.
00:53:11.25\00:53:13.01
That's why every time
I see a debate going on,
00:53:13.02\00:53:14.82
I say, just another debate.
00:53:14.85\00:53:16.46
Because the answers
are not in Washington.
00:53:16.47\00:53:18.85
The answers are in
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:53:18.88\00:53:21.17
If we're looking for a secure
foundation, the Lord says it,
00:53:22.32\00:53:25.21
there is no other
foundation that anyone can lay
00:53:25.24\00:53:29.21
than that which is
laid, which is Christ Jesus.
00:53:29.24\00:53:32.49
My other appeal is this.
00:53:33.30\00:53:34.56
Those of you that know the
truth, one of the things that
00:53:34.59\00:53:36.97
we need to do that we can
do better is love those that
00:53:37.00\00:53:40.38
don't understand this
truth as well as we do.
00:53:40.41\00:53:42.53
Our church should be so warm
that when people of other faith
00:53:45.09\00:53:48.17
walk in here, they are
so caught off guard by the
00:53:48.20\00:53:50.99
contagion of love that they say,
"They don't only have the truth,
00:53:51.02\00:53:55.95
but they have the love
of Jesus in their hearts."
00:53:55.98\00:53:58.06
You see, to know the message
without having the love of
00:53:58.77\00:54:00.76
Christ in your heart is just as
bad as not knowing the message.
00:54:00.77\00:54:03.08
So God's people ought to
learn how to love one another.
00:54:04.34\00:54:06.28
Because one of the
signs of the last days,
00:54:06.31\00:54:07.80
Jesus says, "Because iniquity
will abound, the love of
00:54:07.83\00:54:11.98
many will wax cold."
00:54:12.01\00:54:14.47
So what does Satan do?
00:54:15.07\00:54:16.10
He goes to the place
where the truth is found
00:54:16.11\00:54:17.72
to make it one of the
coldest places on earth.
00:54:17.75\00:54:19.76
That why, brothers and sisters,
I'm so glad that when people
00:54:19.79\00:54:21.89
come in here, your faces are
smiling, your hearts are warm,
00:54:21.92\00:54:24.66
and you embrace
those that come in here.
00:54:24.69\00:54:26.23
May it be our constant testimony
that whoever walks through
00:54:26.26\00:54:29.13
those doors is a
candidate for the kingdom.
00:54:29.16\00:54:31.00
The thing I also want to say
is that we do not by any means
00:54:33.03\00:54:36.31
believe that
Seventy-day Adventists
00:54:36.34\00:54:37.77
are the only ones saved.
00:54:37.80\00:54:38.80
Can somebody say amen.
00:54:38.83\00:54:40.07
We do not label
other churches as lost.
00:54:40.66\00:54:43.22
We don't label
other Christians as lost.
00:54:43.25\00:54:45.57
We're simply saying,
there's some problems in
00:54:46.09\00:54:48.64
some of your directions.
00:54:48.67\00:54:49.87
Fix it before it's too late.
00:54:49.88\00:54:52.66
And if somebody were
driving with me, following me to
00:54:54.23\00:54:57.50
my destination, going
with me to the airport,
00:54:57.53\00:55:00.31
and they had the
wrong directions,
00:55:00.34\00:55:01.35
I'd pull off the road
and wait for them and say,
00:55:01.38\00:55:03.57
"Where are your directions?
Let me look at those."
00:55:03.58\00:55:05.73
And they would
praise me and thank me
00:55:05.76\00:55:08.51
for fixing their directions.
00:55:08.54\00:55:10.85
But the devil has so done a
job today that people get angry
00:55:11.39\00:55:15.31
when you try to
fix their directions.
00:55:15.34\00:55:18.19
This book is the only book
that is reliable in a world
00:55:18.54\00:55:24.96
where error is being embraced.
00:55:24.99\00:55:27.62
And so today I appeal
to you, on the basis of
00:55:27.63\00:55:31.14
your love for the Lord.
00:55:31.17\00:55:32.17
Jesus didn't say,
"Keep my commandments
00:55:32.20\00:55:35.14
and you'll love me."
00:55:35.17\00:55:36.32
Look at the
scripture, it's so beautiful.
00:55:36.81\00:55:38.33
Put there by Jesus, the
One who established this truth.
00:55:38.73\00:55:42.20
The One who wants to
save everyone who comes
00:55:42.23\00:55:44.47
to a knowledge
of His saving grace.
00:55:44.50\00:55:46.09
He says in John
14:15, our final text.
00:55:46.12\00:55:49.33
And I'd like you to
read that with me, church,
00:55:49.68\00:55:51.49
our local congregation.
00:55:51.52\00:55:53.00
Are you ready? Here we go.
00:55:53.01\00:55:54.44
Jesus says what?
00:55:54.47\00:55:56.12
Simple, but oh so profound.
00:56:02.06\00:56:05.30
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments."
00:56:05.70\00:56:08.88
My wife and I enjoy
having breakfast together.
00:56:08.91\00:56:11.17
As a matter of fact,
she buys all those cereals
00:56:11.20\00:56:12.93
with fiber in it.
00:56:12.96\00:56:14.17
And I like Post
Super Sugar Crisps.
00:56:15.35\00:56:17.34
And she pulled my
coat tail the other day.
00:56:19.39\00:56:21.43
She said, "Let me
see the side of that box.
00:56:21.46\00:56:23.25
What's the ingredients?
00:56:23.73\00:56:24.92
How much fiber?
00:56:24.93\00:56:26.07
How much iron?"
00:56:27.15\00:56:28.38
She had eight
grams of fiber in hers.
00:56:29.04\00:56:31.06
I had one gram of fiber in mine.
00:56:32.78\00:56:34.91
And she said, "It tastes good,
but it's not good for you."
00:56:37.15\00:56:39.72
My point is,
friends, error may taste good,
00:56:40.60\00:56:43.20
but it's not good for you.
00:56:43.95\00:56:45.64
Today God is saying,
"Don't go by how it tastes."
00:56:46.26\00:56:49.09
It may fit your life style,
it may fit into your schedule,
00:56:49.12\00:56:52.08
it may be perfectly convenient
with all the things you want to
00:56:52.11\00:56:54.51
do on the weekend.
00:56:54.52\00:56:55.60
But if it tastes good, and that
is the only thing that it brings
00:56:55.63\00:56:58.19
to your table is
taste, check out its content,
00:56:58.22\00:57:01.67
check out its ingredient.
00:57:01.70\00:57:02.98
It may not be good for you.
00:57:03.01\00:57:05.62
It didn't taste
good to go to the cross.
00:57:07.29\00:57:08.98
But it's the best
thing that Jesus did for us.
00:57:09.88\00:57:12.51
And because Jesus was
obedient even unto death,
00:57:13.01\00:57:16.22
He's calling those who
love the Lord to be obedient,
00:57:16.25\00:57:19.18
that you may not lose your life.
00:57:19.93\00:57:22.81
And I appeal to you today, it's
time to get back to the Bible.
00:57:22.84\00:57:26.03
May the Lord bless you
as we look forward to the
00:57:26.43\00:57:28.79
final
presentation this afternoon.
00:57:28.80\00:57:31.20
