> I'm glad that you're here.
Welcome to another edition of
00:00:17.50\00:00:19.80
Bible Alive. We got some
exciting things we're going to
00:00:19.83\00:00:22.25
talk about today, it's about
Revelation Chapter 14 and it's
00:00:22.28\00:00:27.41
on the Three Angels' Message.
What is this Three Angels'
00:00:27.44\00:00:31.09
Message? And by the way, what
does it mean by those angels
00:00:31.10\00:00:34.50
giving that to us? In the
context, what's an angel? We'll
00:00:34.53\00:00:37.54
find out but before we do, I
want to introduce to you a good
00:00:37.57\00:00:41.10
friend of mine, Pastor Mark
Howard. Glad you're here today.
00:00:41.13\00:00:43.41
>> Good to be back, Dwight,
as always. > It's always fun to
00:00:43.44\00:00:46.26
discuss things, isn't it?
>>Oh yeah. > Make it practical.
00:00:46.29\00:00:48.16
>> Make it... make it come
alive. > Come alive and Rudy, my
00:00:48.19\00:00:51.22
brother, glad that you're here,
Rudy. >>> Always exciting to
00:00:51.25\00:00:53.31
study God's Word. >> That's
right > And then, Mark, you
00:00:53.34\00:00:56.70
you know, all I can say is with
two brothers, you better behave
00:00:56.73\00:00:59.51
yourself today. >> Yeah, I'm
between both of you guys now.
00:00:59.54\00:01:02.03
I gotta be... watch my Ps and Qs
>That's it. >> Right. > That's
00:01:02.06\00:01:04.96
it. Well, let's get
started. Revelation Chapter 14,
00:01:04.99\00:01:09.02
tremendously one of my favorite
subjects. Before we start
00:01:09.05\00:01:12.69
reading, we'll... we'll have a
Word of prayer but if you don't
00:01:12.72\00:01:15.53
have those Bibles, go get them.
We want you to dig into the
00:01:15.56\00:01:18.81
Word, not just listen to us but
get in yourself and you can mark
00:01:18.84\00:01:22.93
some things down. It's pretty
neat. Our Bibles are marked up,
00:01:22.96\00:01:25.64
we love studying the Word.
So get... get there, Revelation
00:01:25.65\00:01:29.76
Chapter 14 >> and if you happen
to be using a Remnant Study
00:01:29.79\00:01:33.22
Bible, we're just on page 1530.
> OK, that's very good. OK,
00:01:33.25\00:01:38.37
well, let's have a Word of
prayer before we start. Father
00:01:38.40\00:01:41.32
in Heaven, what a blessing it is
to open Your Word but Father, we
00:01:41.35\00:01:46.60
don't want to misconstrue the
Word, we do not want to be on
00:01:46.63\00:01:52.38
the left side or the right
side. We want to be balanced and
00:01:52.41\00:01:56.65
you've said, "Hear a little,
there a little, line upon line,
00:01:56.68\00:01:58.64
precept upon precept. "
With Your Word, we can always be
00:01:58.67\00:02:02.40
balanced. It's not about what we
think, Father, but what You have
00:02:02.43\00:02:06.60
for us, what truth really is.
Send us Your Holy Spirit, guide
00:02:06.63\00:02:09.96
our hearts and our minds and
I just pray these things in the
00:02:09.99\00:02:12.60
precious name of Jesus. Amen.
>>> Amen. >> Amen. > OK, now
00:02:12.63\00:02:17.44
the Three Angels' Message.
What's that all about? >> Well,
00:02:17.47\00:02:24.23
you know, first of all Dwight,
for... for our viewers this is
00:02:24.26\00:02:28.04
a passage of scripture
that's fairly distinctive to
00:02:28.07\00:02:32.59
Seventh Day Adventist. Not that
it's not a Biblical thing but
00:02:32.62\00:02:36.14
it's just something that...
that we have felt has a special
00:02:36.17\00:02:39.95
application to God's Church at
the end of time > OK >> and we
00:02:39.98\00:02:42.98
find it again in Revelation
14 and the... the passage we're
00:02:43.01\00:02:46.38
going to be looking at starts
in verse 6 where John switches
00:02:46.41\00:02:49.24
scenes and he begins
by saying in verse 6,
00:02:49.27\00:02:52.05
> Yes.
00:02:54.90\00:02:55.87
>> Now > But that doesn't lead
too many people out of there
00:03:02.11\00:03:04.38
does it? No, no, no and we're
going to come right back to
00:03:04.41\00:03:06.68
that. I just want to give our
viewers the setting. If you go
00:03:06.71\00:03:09.37
to Revelation 14, verse 14, it
says, John says, right after he
00:03:09.40\00:03:13.58
sees two more angels come.
He sees > Uh huh >>these three
00:03:13.61\00:03:16.22
angels then he
says, in verse 14,
00:03:16.25\00:03:19.12
> Hmm >> And of course you
harvest with a sickle. > Right,
00:03:27.32\00:03:30.66
right. >> which you're
going to see in verse 15,
00:03:30.69\00:03:32.11
what
00:03:40.62\00:03:41.59
> Harvest
00:03:41.60\00:03:42.57
> Is ripe
00:03:42.66\00:03:43.63
>> And so this is a picture, you
know, when does Jesus come to
00:03:44.54\00:03:46.67
harvest his Saints? Well, that's
at the second > Second coming,
00:03:46.70\00:03:48.90
>> coming. >Yeah. >> and so, we
want our viewers to understand
00:03:48.93\00:03:51.68
that these messages we're
looking at right here in verses
00:03:51.71\00:03:54.96
6 through 12 have a setting just
prior to the coming of Jesus in
00:03:54.99\00:04:00.23
the clouds of glory. So,
it's right the end of time, the
00:04:00.26\00:04:02.63
message, the last message to
be given to usher in the second
00:04:02.66\00:04:06.86
coming of Jesus. >>> And it's
to everybody, I mean that's...
00:04:06.89\00:04:10.50
that's what I like > That's
right >>> about verse 6, that
00:04:10.53\00:04:12.01
you read a few are
a nation or a tribe
00:04:12.04\00:04:14.84
or a tongue or if
you live on the Earth.
00:04:14.87\00:04:17.49
> That's right. >>> Then
it's for you. > That's right.
00:04:17.52\00:04:20.15
>>> You know, in Bible
times, the Jews thought it was a
00:04:20.18\00:04:24.43
special > Yeah. >>> message for
them and different religions and
00:04:24.46\00:04:27.58
creeds think it's for them
but this is saying, you know,
00:04:27.61\00:04:30.27
nation, tribe or
those on the Earth
00:04:30.30\00:04:32.59
> That's right. >>> So,
that doesn't leave anybody out.
00:04:32.62\00:04:35.18
>> And another good point
there, Rudy, is that as you
00:04:35.21\00:04:37.67
mentioned, you know, there
are even some Christians who buy
00:04:37.70\00:04:39.58
into that and they say, "Well,
I suppose maybe back then it was
00:04:39.59\00:04:43.40
just for the Jews" but the
Bible calls it the everlasting
00:04:43.43\00:04:47.01
> Everlasting. >>> Amen.
>> Gospel which means from the
00:04:47.05\00:04:49.28
very beginning to the very
end there's only one Gospel that
00:04:49.31\00:04:51.68
saves all mankind and
that's the everlasting Gospel.
00:04:51.71\00:04:54.32
>>> And Pastor, that... where
did the gospel start? Wasn't
00:04:54.35\00:04:57.45
that Genesis 3:15? >> That's
right, we see the first gospel
00:04:57.48\00:05:00.89
promise in Genesis. >>> That's
right. > So the Alpha and Omega,
00:05:00.92\00:05:04.38
the beginning and the end.
> And... and it's all kind of
00:05:04.41\00:05:07.10
encapsulated in
these three angel's
00:05:07.13\00:05:09.86
message. Now, two
things that I just want
00:05:09.89\00:05:11.64
to, you know, you might not have
thought about, some of you have,
00:05:11.67\00:05:15.02
number one, angel. It
says, three >> Yeah > angel's
00:05:15.05\00:05:18.20
messages, they saw another angel
proclaiming His message. What
00:05:18.23\00:05:22.74
does the word angel mean? I...
I mean, in the... in the Greek
00:05:22.77\00:05:26.78
the word angel, what's...
what is the meaning of angel?
00:05:26.81\00:05:29.78
>> Angelos means messenger.
> OK. >> It literally means
00:05:29.81\00:05:32.11
messenger and while we wouldn't,
we don't want to say that they
00:05:32.14\00:05:35.93
are not angels involved
here. John sees an angel flying.
00:05:35.96\00:05:38.50
> Right. >> He says he has the
Gospel to preach. Well, who was
00:05:38.53\00:05:41.41
the gospel given to, to preach?
> It's you and I. >> It was
00:05:41.44\00:05:44.50
given to the church. > Yes.
>> Jesus said to his disciples,
00:05:44.53\00:05:46.99
"All authorities given to me in
heaven and earth, go therefore
00:05:47.02\00:05:50.02
and teach all nations. " Matthew
24:14 said, "This gospel shall
00:05:50.05\00:05:54.20
be preached in all the World for
a witness and then the end shall
00:05:54.23\00:05:56.25
come. " > That's right. >>He
was speaking to his church and
00:05:56.28\00:05:58.38
his church was to preach the
gospel. So when we see an angel
00:05:58.41\00:06:01.83
flying, it's not telling us
angels are going to preach the
00:06:01.86\00:06:04.41
angels are going to preach the
gospel but it's saying that the
00:06:04.44\00:06:06.50
work of preaching the gospel
especially this last day setting
00:06:06.53\00:06:09.24
is of such importance that it's
pictured with angels of God as
00:06:09.27\00:06:14.80
as if it were directing the work
that the church is doing on the
00:06:14.83\00:06:18.58
on the Earth. > That's
tremendous. >>> Amen. > And
00:06:18.61\00:06:20.36
something else, I don't know
if we make it. I... You can do a
00:06:20.39\00:06:22.96
whole another study but we were
talking on one of our programs
00:06:22.99\00:06:26.06
that you know, about, the
temptations of Christ. >> Yeah.
00:06:26.09\00:06:30.90
And there was how
many temptations? >> Three.
00:06:30.93\00:06:34.38
> So how... and how
many messages do we have?
00:06:34.41\00:06:37.50
>> Yeah, we have three messages.
> Three messages. > I mean, God
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.94
is constantly through this whole
scriptures trying to... and...
00:06:40.97\00:06:45.75
and... and working with each one
of us to restore the image of
00:06:45.78\00:06:50.29
man, in us. You know, the...
the real Christ-like, you know,
00:06:50.32\00:06:55.13
the... the stuff like that
>> the image of unfallen man.
00:06:55.16\00:06:58.34
> Unfallen man, that' right.
>> The image of God. God's
00:06:58.37\00:07:00.04
original plan. > Exactly
and... and here's three angels'
00:07:00.07\00:07:02.91
messages that encapsulate
everything. If >> That's right.
00:07:02.94\00:07:07.41
> If you've got this three
angels' message, if... if you
00:07:07.44\00:07:09.42
understand this, it's... its
everything. You know, I think
00:07:09.45\00:07:12.57
that's pretty significant.
>> Yes, if we look at that,
00:07:12.60\00:07:14.88
verses 6 and 7,
it says that he sees,
00:07:14.91\00:07:16.87
as we said, look at verse 7,
00:07:19.73\00:07:20.99
Now, it's interesting that that
portion is in quotes. So, the
00:07:33.90\00:07:36.76
angel who has the everlasting
gospel to preach, when he begins
00:07:36.79\00:07:41.27
to speak in the context of that
everlasting gospel, he brings up
00:07:41.30\00:07:45.90
giving God glory, he brings
up God's judgment hour and he
00:07:45.93\00:07:50.49
brings up Him who
made heaven and earth,
00:07:50.52\00:07:53.46
the sea and the
springs of water. > Amen.
00:07:53.49\00:07:55.08
>> That's what the creative
power of God in that setting.
00:07:55.11\00:07:57.65
> And one... and one of the
things too I love is, number
00:07:57.68\00:08:01.45
one, he's saying it with a loud
voice >> Uh hmm > and the first
00:08:01.48\00:08:03.69
thing in quotes that he says is,
"Fear God. " >> That's right.
00:08:03.72\00:08:06.38
> Sometimes we... we talk about
fearing God is just being afraid
00:08:06.41\00:08:10.47
and we, you know, we can't think
but I would love the viewers...
00:08:10.50\00:08:14.71
viewers out there today, write
this fear down and then look
00:08:14.74\00:08:19.21
that up in a concordance. You
can get on your computers and
00:08:19.24\00:08:22.41
can get on your computers
and search fear in the Bible and
00:08:22.44\00:08:24.24
there's a lot of meanings that
that... that... that we'll talk
00:08:24.27\00:08:29.28
about fear. One, fear God means
to hate evil. >> That's right.
00:08:29.31\00:08:32.58
> You know, what's the whole
duty of man, in Ecclesiastics?
00:08:32.61\00:08:35.74
What is it 12? >> 12, 13 and
14. >13 says, >> " Fear God and
00:08:35.77\00:08:40.63
keep his commandments. " > Yes.
>> For this is the whole duty of
00:08:40.66\00:08:43.53
men. It's interesting,
Dwight, too because that text in
00:08:43.56\00:08:45.87
Ecclesiastics 12, we probably
ought to look at it because it
00:08:45.90\00:08:48.87
is a perfect parallel to what we
read in Revelation 14:6 and 7.
00:08:48.90\00:08:54.04
> OK. >> Go to the Old Testament
Book of Ecclesiastics and you
00:08:54.07\00:08:57.00
come to the Psalms, go to
Proverbs, Ecclesiastics comes
00:08:57.03\00:09:00.51
after that and at the very end
of the Book, Ecclesiastics 12:13
00:09:00.54\00:09:04.80
and 14 he says, it's page 769 in
the Remnant Study Bible, says,
00:09:04.83\00:09:13.27
Or the whole duty of man > Whole
duty of man, yeah. >> says the
00:09:21.72\00:09:23.20
King James version,
00:09:23.23\00:09:24.20
> OK.
00:09:31.79\00:09:32.76
>> Now you have in Revelation,
"Fear God and instead of keeping
00:09:32.77\00:09:34.98
his commandments," it says,
"Give him glory for the hour of
00:09:35.01\00:09:37.42
his judgment is come. "
Ecclesiastics says, "Fear God
00:09:37.45\00:09:40.32
and keep his commandments for
God will bring every work into
00:09:40.35\00:09:42.19
judgment. " So you see
the parallel? > That's right.
00:09:42.22\00:09:43.89
>> And what's interesting is in
this end time setting, we see it
00:09:43.92\00:09:46.91
again in verse 12, it says,
00:09:46.94\00:09:48.59
> Right. >> There's some >
That's right. >> Christians
00:09:52.33\00:09:53.84
today who think the commandments
of God... the importance of
00:09:53.87\00:09:56.98
keeping God's commandments, his
10 commandments has passed away
00:09:57.01\00:09:59.59
from... that was Old Testament
times but we see here that it's
00:09:59.62\00:10:04.16
those who have faith, the
faith of Jesus > Yes. >> who are
00:10:04.19\00:10:06.97
found keeping God's
commandments. > Well, what it
00:10:07.26\00:10:09.10
>> in contrast it says > it
says in the back, it gets in...
00:10:09.13\00:10:11.41
well, in Hebrews, "it's
impossible to please God without
00:10:11.44\00:10:13.26
faith. " You go now back
at, Joshua lived by faith
00:10:13.29\00:10:16.43
>> That's right. > and I... and
I think too if you do a study on
00:10:16.46\00:10:19.62
glory which we won't get into,
we don't have much time for
00:10:19.65\00:10:22.18
break but it says, "Fear God and
give glory to him," which if we
00:10:22.21\00:10:25.25
give God glory we will be
doing his will. >> That's right.
00:10:25.28\00:10:28.07
> That's keeping his... Jesus
says, "If you love me, keep my
00:10:28.10\00:10:30.98
keep my" >> Commandments. >
Commandments. >> Right. > So
00:10:31.01\00:10:32.54
it's all part of this... this
first message. >>That's right
00:10:32.57\00:10:35.54
and so and the... and the other
thing is, fear God and... and
00:10:35.57\00:10:38.15
keep his commandments and help
bring every work into judgment.
00:10:38.18\00:10:40.75
> Yes. >> It's says, "Fear God
and give glory for the hour of
00:10:40.78\00:10:42.80
judgment has come. " > Come.
>> What's the basis of that
00:10:42.83\00:10:44.84
judgment? It's those
commandments. > That's right.
00:10:44.87\00:10:46.58
>> You know, God's people, if
they're not found doing his will
00:10:46.61\00:10:49.48
when he comes, then there's
judgment. > That's right.
00:10:49.51\00:10:52.96
>>> So there's a common thread
from Genesis to Revelation.
00:10:52.99\00:10:57.13
>> That's right. >>> On how God
expects his people to act, in
00:10:57.16\00:11:02.48
order to be saved. >>
Absolutely, absolutely. I
00:11:02.51\00:11:05.17
mean, it's packed. > Yeah.
>> This passage is packed > So
00:11:05.21\00:11:08.18
much. >> and one other
thing, we're not going to have
00:11:08.21\00:11:11.53
time to flesh out now before
the break but he brings up this
00:11:11.56\00:11:14.19
idea of worshipping him who made
Heaven and Earth, the sea and
00:11:14.22\00:11:18.01
springs of water. What you see
here is, really in verses 6 and
00:11:18.04\00:11:21.63
7 when the everlasting gospel
is proclaimed to all the world,
00:11:21.66\00:11:24.05
it's calling men back to
worship the Creator. > Yes.
00:11:24.08\00:11:28.71
>> You know I mean? That's
why it's in that... fear God and
00:11:28.74\00:11:30.80
give glory to him, judgment is
coming. Are you ready for that
00:11:30.83\00:11:33.23
judgment? Worship him. > Yes.
>> It's calling people back. You
00:11:33.26\00:11:36.38
have opportunity. Nobody needs
to be lost. The invitation is
00:11:36.41\00:11:39.23
open now. Worship him who's
your Maker, who created... who
00:11:39.26\00:11:42.25
created all things. > Yeah,
because it's got part of the
00:11:42.28\00:11:44.42
creation right there. >> That's
right. > You know, and it's
00:11:44.45\00:11:47.10
tremendous. Wow! Well, I
think we'll... I think we're
00:11:47.13\00:11:51.47
going to take a break right now.
We're going to get into the next
00:11:51.50\00:11:54.65
2 angels' messages. But isn't
this exciting? I mean, worship
00:11:54.68\00:11:59.09
God, give glory to him, the hour
of his judgment has come. It's
00:11:59.12\00:12:03.09
tremendous. We're going to take
this short break, don't go away
00:12:03.12\00:12:05.68
we'll be right back.
00:12:05.71\00:12:06.88

and rumors of wars, see, that
00:12:12.15\00:12:15.99
you are not troubled for all
these things must come to pass.
00:12:16.02\00:12:19.56
But the end is not yet. For
nation will rise against nation
00:12:20.08\00:12:23.98
and kingdom against kingdom
and there will be famines,
00:12:24.01\00:12:27.89
pestilence and earthquakes in
various places. All these, are
00:12:27.92\00:12:32.78
the beginning of sorrows.

are perfectly safe. "
00:12:39.39\00:12:41.43
But these buildings
were consumed as if made of
00:12:44.22\00:12:47.23
pitch. The fire engines
could do nothing to stave
00:12:47.26\00:12:50.30
the destruction. When
Protestantism shall stretch
00:12:50.33\00:12:54.90
her hand across the
gulf to grasp the hand of the
00:12:54.93\00:12:57.69
Roman power, when she
shall reach over the abyss, to
00:12:57.72\00:13:01.17
clasp hands with
spiritualism, then, we may
00:13:01.20\00:13:04.21
know that the end is near.

easy to see that God is just
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.44
about to return and Satan's

If you want to be a part of

truth, then I want to
offer you some tools to help
00:13:27.56\00:13:30.50
you do just that. These little
books from Remnant Publications
00:13:30.53\00:13:34.23
are filled with Biblical truths
like what happens when you die,
00:13:34.26\00:13:37.94
the dangers of witchcraft and
the vampire craze in the movies
00:13:37.97\00:13:41.81
and television. I urge you,
friends, to get as many of these
00:13:41.84\00:13:45.36
books as possible and share them
with the people that you know
00:13:45.39\00:13:48.26
need them. There's not much
time left, let's do all we can,
00:13:48.29\00:13:52.13
right now.

the Vatican credentials of
00:14:41.71\00:14:44.06
Archbishop Antonio Mennini
as the first ever Papal Nuncio
00:14:44.09\00:14:48.12
to Russia. The event ushers
in a new era of full diplomatic
00:14:48.15\00:14:52.60
relations between the Holy
See and the Russian Federation.
00:14:52.63\00:14:56.11
Pope Benedict XVI and
President Dmitry Medvedev, had
00:14:56.14\00:15:01.10
agreed to establish full
diplomatic relations in December
00:15:01.13\00:15:04.77
of 2009 after they met at the
Vatican. "The purpose of this
00:15:04.80\00:15:09.03
diplomatic cooperation, is for
the moral growth of the people
00:15:09.06\00:15:12.86
of Russia," said Mennini.
That would certainly include
00:15:12.89\00:15:16.83
enforcement of Sunday worship
eventually. In Revelation 13:3,
00:15:16.86\00:15:21.44
the Bible says that, "all
the World wandered after the
00:15:21.47\00:15:24.85
beast. " All the nations will
support and worship the Papal
00:15:24.88\00:15:28.59
religious power that will
dominate the World in the last
00:15:28.62\00:15:31.77
days. I'm Hal Mayer
reminding you to keep the faith.
00:15:31.80\00:15:35.68
> I'm so glad that you stayed
with us. The Three Angel's
00:15:39.34\00:15:41.68
Message. We've just kind
of got through with the first
00:15:41.71\00:15:45.02
one although there's no way we
can... we could take all kinds
00:15:45.05\00:15:48.75
of time just with the first
angel's message but the one
00:15:48.78\00:15:51.69
thing, Mark, that I like to end
with this right now is, the fear
00:15:51.72\00:15:56.92
God and give glory to him
and... and part of that fear in
00:15:56.95\00:16:01.95
God is to hate evil but also it
goes into the, that worship him.
00:16:01.98\00:16:06.33
>> That's right. > who created
the Heavens and the Earth, the
00:16:06.36\00:16:09.60
sea and springs. In other words,
worship the Creator, the true
00:16:09.63\00:16:12.05
Creator and we were talking
where does that come from? I
00:16:12.08\00:16:14.54
mean, that's borrowed actually
from another, another >> Yeah,
00:16:14.57\00:16:18.16
that language comes right
from the fourth commandment.
00:16:18.19\00:16:20.92
> Yes. >> 1 to 10. That right
from the Sabbath commandment
00:16:20.95\00:16:24.03
where it tells us that in 6 days
the Lord made the Heaven and
00:16:24.06\00:16:26.99
Earth and all that is in them
> Yes. >> and... and hallowed it
00:16:27.02\00:16:29.62
and that kind of thing,
you see that in the... in the
00:16:29.65\00:16:31.98
commandment, you see that back
in Genesis and so in the context
00:16:32.01\00:16:36.91
of this message, what you're
seeing is a call, you know, fear
00:16:36.94\00:16:40.30
God and give glory to
him and worship him. > Yes.
00:16:40.33\00:16:42.59
What you have is a call to
worship God. It... it evidently,
00:16:42.62\00:16:46.36
right before Jesus comes
again, there's a time in earth's
00:16:46.39\00:16:48.98
history where... where man
is not worshipping God with his
00:16:49.01\00:16:53.00
whole heart and even those who
profess to God is calling them
00:16:53.03\00:16:57.14
back to worship and one of those
things that he's brought in
00:16:57.17\00:16:59.61
even in the context is that,
that the fourth commandment, the
00:16:59.64\00:17:04.37
Sabbath commandment which is
a sign of God's creative power
00:17:04.40\00:17:08.17
which is why it brings it up
here, worship him who made the
00:17:08.20\00:17:10.12
Heaven and Earth, the
sea and the springs of water.
00:17:10.15\00:17:13.91
>Well, and... and... and what's
to me, what's powerful about
00:17:13.94\00:17:18.74
that, is that... and I know that
many have already heard this but
00:17:18.77\00:17:21.86
I never want to forget it
and I keep reminding myself that
00:17:21.89\00:17:24.79
there's no way you can get
7 days in anything. >> Uh hmm.
00:17:24.82\00:17:30.91
> You can't get it. It doesn't
come out in a month, you know,
00:17:30.94\00:17:34.24
know, it... it... it's >>> With
the moon. >> Well, right. > With
00:17:34.27\00:17:36.66
the moon, with the way the
sun goes around or the earth
00:17:36.69\00:17:38.73
goes around the sun. You just
can't... you can't even come
00:17:38.76\00:17:42.41
close to getting it and you
know, God is powerful, is... is,
00:17:42.44\00:17:45.96
he is... he could create
the earth in one day >> Yeah.
00:17:45.99\00:17:48.90
> but he took 7 and so he's
saying, "Get back to me. I am
00:17:48.93\00:17:53.72
the Creator. I am God and follow
me " and like you said, in the
00:17:53.75\00:17:57.49
end, there'll be all kinds of
people that profess Christianity
00:17:57.52\00:18:00.99
but are they serving with their
whole heart or just... or just
00:18:01.02\00:18:04.19
or just partly? > That's right
and... and this is not, you
00:18:04.22\00:18:07.47
know, in any way to be critical
of a person who this message
00:18:07.50\00:18:13.03
comes to who isn't honoring God
whether it be on the seventh day
00:18:13.06\00:18:16.67
or some other area of
their life. > Sure. >> God isn't
00:18:16.70\00:18:19.51
trying to... to denounce our
past but simply saying now is
00:18:19.54\00:18:24.42
your opportunity to make
your life right with me. > Amen.
00:18:24.45\00:18:27.36
>> and you know, when you take
for example, the story of the
00:18:27.39\00:18:31.64
prodigal son, the son comes home
with his canned speech and he's
00:18:31.67\00:18:34.71
going to give to his father and
the father doesn't even listen
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.12
to it. He said, "Father,
I've sinned against heaven, I've
00:18:38.13\00:18:40.17
sinneth against you," but the
father doesn't even listen to
00:18:40.18\00:18:42.57
the story, he's not as concerned
with the son, where the son has
00:18:42.60\00:18:45.28
been. He's just happy that the
son has come home and so... and
00:18:45.31\00:18:49.09
we have to realize especially in
these last days all of us have
00:18:49.12\00:18:52.05
areas of our life > Right.
>> where we're not in > Right.
00:18:52.08\00:18:53.84
>> harmony with
God. >>> Exactly.
00:18:53.87\00:18:55.29
>> but we could get all bristled
about it and say, "Well, I'm not
00:18:55.32\00:18:57.57
going to let anybody point
anything wrong at my life out,"
00:18:57.60\00:18:59.79
or I can say, "You know what,
I've been wrong but I have an
00:18:59.82\00:19:02.30
opportunity to come right
with God " > That's right.
00:19:02.33\00:19:04.67
>> and it didn't matter
where I've been, what matters is
00:19:04.70\00:19:06.95
where I'm going. >> And Pastor,
also in Revelation, you know, a
00:19:06.98\00:19:11.41
lot of people believe that
it's a sealed book. > Yeah.
00:19:11.44\00:19:15.46
>>> I'm sure you've heard that
>> Yeah. >>> and I just want to
00:19:15.49\00:19:18.32
take just a minute and go
to Revelation 1 because I think
00:19:18.35\00:19:22.31
it's so important. It says,
00:19:22.34\00:19:23.39
This is
Revelation 1:1 >> Uh hmm.
00:19:26.54\00:19:28.38
>>> Us. >> Yeah.
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.01
>>> So this >> Uh hmm. >>>
was to reveal what God wanted
00:19:54.43\00:19:57.41
and to give us a blessing
>> That's right. >>> and so as
00:19:57.44\00:20:00.98
far as people saying they
don't want to read Revelation or
00:20:01.01\00:20:05.59
understand it, then they don't
want >> The blessing. >>> The
00:20:05.62\00:20:08.73
blessing. >> And >>> that's
what we're talking about today.
00:20:08.76\00:20:11.55
> Absolutely. >> And how are
you going to get a blessing out
00:20:11.58\00:20:13.12
something you can't understand?
>>> Absolutely. >> And why would
00:20:13.15\00:20:15.42
you call it Revelation > If it's
not revealing? >> if it's not
00:20:15.45\00:20:17.80
to be revealed? > That's right.
>>> Don't you think that's
00:20:17.83\00:20:19.25
important to have realized?
> Absolutely, yes. >> It is a
00:20:19.28\00:20:20.78
good point. >>> Whenever you
study Revelation, then God is
00:20:20.81\00:20:24.24
revealing this for his people
before... before he comes again
00:20:24.27\00:20:28.63
because if we understand this
after he comes, it isn't going
00:20:28.66\00:20:32.29
to make much difference, is it?
>> That's right. >>> It's going
00:20:32.32\00:20:34.05
to be too late. > In fact, it
says, in fact Rudy in verse 3,
00:20:34.09\00:20:36.26
where you were reading, it says,
00:20:36.29\00:20:37.72
and in the ending it says,
00:20:42.97\00:20:43.94
>>> Near. >> That's right. > In
other words, this is... is... is
00:20:45.86\00:20:48.90
for us and like you said,
it's... I... I believe it's past
00:20:48.93\00:20:52.03
time to get bristled up. >>
Yeah. > I mean, it's... it's
00:20:52.06\00:20:55.26
not time for us to be defensive
over what grandma thought or
00:20:55.29\00:20:58.36
what grandpa >> Yeah. > thought
or what mom >> That's right > or
00:20:58.39\00:20:59.82
dad thought, it's the Word and
the Word only, here a little,
00:20:59.85\00:21:02.18
there a little"... it's not time
to defend something that might
00:21:02.21\00:21:04.75
not be truth. I mean, it's not
about who's got bragging rights.
00:21:04.78\00:21:08.22
>> Right. >It's nothing to
do about bragging. This is, the
00:21:08.25\00:21:10.34
time is near, we can see
everything that's going on, on
00:21:10.37\00:21:12.56
the earth, we must get ready and
Jesus is calling us in the first
00:21:12.59\00:21:16.58
angel, "Fear me," >> Uh hmm.
> "I'm the one that created, I
00:21:16.61\00:21:19.78
know what's best for you.
I own >> That's right. > your
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.17
manual. " OK? >> That's right.
>>> Absolutely. > And if... and
00:21:21.20\00:21:24.05
if we continue on here, what we
see is, that these are warning
00:21:24.08\00:21:29.02
messages > Yes. >> and they
get louder just like > A child.
00:21:29.05\00:21:32.48
when a... if a... if... if my
child is running out to the road
00:21:32.51\00:21:35.10
and I say to my young daughter,
"Annie, I want you to"... you
00:21:35.13\00:21:38.11
know, "come back here, you're
getting too far," if she doesn't
00:21:38.14\00:21:40.86
turn around and she keeps going
into the busy traffic, I'm going
00:21:40.89\00:21:43.51
to get louder and if she
goes further, I'm going to be
00:21:43.54\00:21:46.20
shouting and running for her,
right? And this is what we're
00:21:46.21\00:21:49.15
going to see here in... in these
message is, you know, the Bible
00:21:49.18\00:21:52.76
says in verse 8,
00:21:52.79\00:21:53.76
> Yeah.
00:21:55.27\00:21:56.24
>> Now that word in Greek
and it's also used for the third
00:21:56.25\00:21:57.63
angel, that it says in verse 9,
00:21:57.66\00:21:59.76
That word means to follow along
with. In other words, they're
00:22:01.33\00:22:03.69
not unrelated messages. They
happen together one in... in
00:22:03.72\00:22:07.83
step with the other so that,
that the second message we're
00:22:07.86\00:22:11.40
about to read here, happens in,
almost in... in a response to
00:22:11.43\00:22:15.64
that first one being given,
I'll tell you what I mean here.
00:22:15.67\00:22:17.33
It says,
00:22:17.36\00:22:18.33
Now, we don't have time to get
into all the details there but
00:22:28.35\00:22:30.61
Babylon is a word. Rudy, you
had had mentioned >>> Confusion.
00:22:30.64\00:22:34.27
>> Yeah. >>> I mean >> it
comes from back in Genesis 11.
00:22:34.30\00:22:37.74
>>> That's right, that's right
and it means confusion and it
00:22:37.77\00:22:42.58
says that it is fallen. >>
Yeah, that's right and so you've
00:22:42.61\00:22:45.40
got... you've got, of course
the old city of Babylon and
00:22:45.43\00:22:49.88
this >Right. >> This is called
that great city but the real
00:22:50.09\00:22:51.97
city has long been... long since
been destroyed but then it says,
00:22:52.00\00:22:55.75
So, speaking in terms of a woman
and how she's fornicated or
00:23:01.04\00:23:05.73
she's basically
committed adultery > Yeah.
00:23:05.76\00:23:07.64
>> in this case. You know,
when a woman commits fornication
00:23:07.67\00:23:10.26
against her husband, she's...
she's sleeping with and giving
00:23:10.29\00:23:13.41
her affection to somebody
besides her husband and what
00:23:13.44\00:23:15.74
this is pointing out is,
honestly, where... where God's
00:23:15.77\00:23:21.49
people have given their
affections to another besides
00:23:21.52\00:23:24.20
Christ and... and because of
their desire to be one with the
00:23:24.23\00:23:28.77
things of the world, they've
actually compromised their faith
00:23:28.80\00:23:32.31
and God's contrasting this.
See the first, that message
00:23:32.34\00:23:35.50
says, basically, return to the
worship of the true God and then
00:23:35.53\00:23:39.40
the next message that we're
reading here, basically says,
00:23:39.43\00:23:41.56
you know, for the people that
say, "No, you know, I'm fine
00:23:41.59\00:23:43.75
where I am. " No, no, no, you're
mingling worldly philosophy
00:23:43.78\00:23:47.46
> That's right, yeah >>
with truth and it's not going to
00:23:47.49\00:23:49.88
stand. It's fallen. So,
it's a little bit louder shout.
00:23:49.91\00:23:52.61
> What... what does James say?
In James it says, "Friendship
00:23:52.64\00:23:56.17
with the world is enmity
with God. " >> Right. > I mean
00:23:56.20\00:23:58.43
>> and... and he likens it
to adultery. > He likens it the
00:23:58.46\00:24:01.27
same way to... to adultery
because we... we either... we
00:24:01.30\00:24:05.12
cannot serve two masters
and so it's saying that here...
00:24:05.15\00:24:07.93
and the other thing that you
said that was intertwined that
00:24:07.96\00:24:09.93
I think it's good, is that it's
pretty hard to be a messenger
00:24:09.96\00:24:14.87
talking of Babylon is falling
if I'm in the fallen state.
00:24:14.90\00:24:17.76
>> That's right. > In other
words, the first message is we
00:24:17.79\00:24:20.21
have to know our Creator,
to what he's asked us to do, to
00:24:20.24\00:24:23.20
follow him no matter what, no
matter what the consequence is.
00:24:23.23\00:24:25.68
The next one is, once we're
doing that, now we can share
00:24:25.71\00:24:29.28
this Babylon is falling. There's
confusion in the land >> That's
00:24:29.31\00:24:31.35
right > and you need to
get back to the scriptures and
00:24:31.38\00:24:33.02
study. So, the second... the
second angel's message has to
00:24:33.05\00:24:36.76
come out of the first. >>Yeah.
It has to and... and for those
00:24:36.79\00:24:40.53
who have rejected the first,
it's a... it's a louder cry to
00:24:40.56\00:24:43.46
them to say >Yeah. >> you don't
have anything else that you can
00:24:43.49\00:24:45.62
> Right. >> you can trust and
you think you can trust in, you
00:24:45.65\00:24:47.39
think you can trust in it but
it's fallen. > Exactly. >> You
00:24:47.42\00:24:49.72
come to the
third message, this is,
00:24:49.75\00:24:51.06
In verse 9
00:24:52.33\00:24:53.30
Now, we don't have time
to get into the > Not the
00:25:14.35\00:25:16.29
whole stuff there, the
whole thing there >> but
00:25:16.32\00:25:17.29
what we do pick up is this.
This mark of the beast, some
00:25:17.30\00:25:20.52
people think is going to be...
it's something that's going to
00:25:20.55\00:25:22.95
be forced on people independent
of their own will but what the
00:25:22.98\00:25:26.09
Bible is telling us is, the
first call or the first angel
00:25:26.12\00:25:28.73
calls people to be faithful
to the return and worship God
00:25:28.76\00:25:31.34
according to the
truth of his Word. > Right.
00:25:31.37\00:25:33.73
>> Those who refused that, God
shouts a little louder and he
00:25:33.76\00:25:36.40
says, "Listen, all other systems
are mingling worldly philosophy
00:25:36.43\00:25:40.68
with truth. You've got to come
out of them, you've got to take
00:25:40.71\00:25:42.87
your stand on my Word.
Those who refused to do that are
00:25:42.90\00:25:45.62
actually paving the way
for themselves accepting
00:25:45.65\00:25:49.59
the mark of the
beast > Yes >> in their
00:25:49.62\00:25:50.77
forehead, in their
thinking or in the hand, in
00:25:50.80\00:25:54.19
their doing because some people
even when they know what's right
00:25:54.22\00:25:57.57
to do or what's wrong not to
do, they do it not because they
00:25:57.60\00:26:01.64
think it's OK but because
they... they do it with their
00:26:01.67\00:26:05.03
hand because they want > Right.
>> to avoid any kind of pressure
00:26:05.06\00:26:07.05
> Exactly, yeah >> that
comes from being faithful to the
00:26:07.08\00:26:08.84
truth >> That's right. >> and
so you've got to shout, a louder
00:26:08.87\00:26:11.22
shout and then the loudest shout
against receiving the mark and
00:26:11.25\00:26:15.44
it's a mark that people
will receive by continuing to be
00:26:15.47\00:26:18.13
persistent in not obeying the
truth of God and then >>> But
00:26:18.16\00:26:20.81
verse 12 > Go Rudy. >>> but...
but there's two... there's two
00:26:20.85\00:26:23.19
marks that the people of God
have >> That's right. >>> and
00:26:23.22\00:26:26.64
it's not in their... their
forehead or their hand. It's...
00:26:26.67\00:26:29.65
it's those who keep the
commandments > Yeah >>> of God
00:26:29.68\00:26:32.01
and have the faith of Jesus
>> Uh hmm >>> so it's saying
00:26:32.04\00:26:34.42
that, you know, those that
are going to be saved, is gonna
00:26:34.45\00:26:37.19
have two traits.
They're going to be keeping the
00:26:37.22\00:26:39.98
commandments of God and they're
going to have the faith of
00:26:40.01\00:26:41.77
Jesus. >> That's right.
>>> Those are the traits that
00:26:41.80\00:26:44.13
the people will have,
nothing else will really matter.
00:26:44.16\00:26:45.99
>> And those traits go
hand in hand. > That's right.
00:26:46.02\00:26:48.37
> It goes hand in hand and I
just... I just can say, again
00:26:48.40\00:26:53.93
before we end this show and
we probably had to do another
00:26:53.96\00:26:56.68
segment on this because there's
so much into it >> Uh hmm > but
00:26:56.71\00:26:59.32
I just want to have the
faith of Jesus. >> That's right.
00:26:59.35\00:27:03.12
>>> Amen. > You know, I... I...
I want to keep his commandments
00:27:03.15\00:27:05.19
not to merit salvation but
because of my love for him.
00:27:05.22\00:27:07.81
>> That's right >Jesus said
that, "If you love me, keep my
00:27:07.84\00:27:09.16
commandments. " That is third
angel of faith and the patience
00:27:09.19\00:27:13.77
of the Saints who keep
his commandments. >>> Amen.
00:27:13.80\00:27:15.85
> Well, again time is up. It
goes so quickly and I just have
00:27:15.88\00:27:21.86
such a burden. I know we all
do, that you will get into your
00:27:21.89\00:27:24.99
Bible, you will read it, make it
practical in your life. Jesus is
00:27:25.02\00:27:28.30
coming so soon and you know,
what, you can have a better way
00:27:28.33\00:27:32.13
of life. You don't have to put
it off. You can have it today.
00:27:32.16\00:27:35.47
So, don't, put it off.
