Like to welcome
you to Battles of Faith
00:00:14.80\00:00:16.39
my name is David Shin
and I'm here with Steve
00:00:16.42\00:00:18.26
Wohlberg who is the
Speaker, Director of
00:00:18.29\00:00:20.18
White Horse
Media based in Fresno,
00:00:20.21\00:00:21.64
California. He is the
author of several books
00:00:21.67\00:00:23.74
and has done
extensive research on the
00:00:23.77\00:00:25.40
Supernatural from a
Biblical perspective.
00:00:25.43\00:00:27.72
This series is
entitled Magic Ghost in the
00:00:28.14\00:00:30.43
Bible and it's been
quite a journey, I like to
00:00:30.46\00:00:32.46
shake your hand here
its becoming very familiar
00:00:32.49\00:00:35.13
and you are no stranger to 3ABN.
00:00:35.16\00:00:37.56
Now, I just like to
set this stage for our
00:00:37.95\00:00:39.51
viewing audience
that has not perhaps been
00:00:39.54\00:00:41.69
with us up to this
point. We've talked a little bit
00:00:41.72\00:00:44.19
about the main stream
nature of the occult, of
00:00:44.22\00:00:47.18
Wicca, of the
Supernatural and maybe you can
00:00:47.21\00:00:49.78
give some illustrations
on that, how prevalent
00:00:49.81\00:00:52.56
it has become and
why we are talking about
00:00:52.59\00:00:54.25
this topic here
today about Armageddon.
00:00:54.28\00:00:56.81
Sure, yes, we've been
talking about the occult,
00:00:57.28\00:00:59.84
about the growth of
witchcraft. Its modern
00:00:59.87\00:01:02.28
term is Wicca.
We've been talking about
00:01:02.31\00:01:05.51
spiritualism,
about mediums, we've been
00:01:05.54\00:01:07.43
talking
especially about Hollywood TV
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.32
programs like
Medium and Ghost Whisper;
00:01:09.35\00:01:11.58
movies like the
Harry Potter series, we've
00:01:12.65\00:01:14.54
talked about the Charm
series and just a lot of
00:01:14.57\00:01:17.64
productions that are
out there, that are being
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.07
watched by people
around the world and
00:01:20.10\00:01:22.10
how these productions
are actually desensitizing
00:01:22.13\00:01:25.43
people to the dangers
of the occult and they,
00:01:25.46\00:01:27.93
many of them
especially when it comes to
00:01:27.96\00:01:29.91
the spiritualism
programs are actually connected
00:01:29.94\00:01:32.67
to, to real mediums
who are really claiming to
00:01:32.70\00:01:37.95
communicate with the
dead. And there is just a
00:01:37.98\00:01:40.79
lot at the Supernatural
that is permeating our
00:01:40.82\00:01:44.06
society right
now around the world
00:01:44.09\00:01:45.80
especially
through, through the media.
00:01:45.83\00:01:47.50
I refer to an article
in one of the previous
00:01:47.53\00:01:50.62
programs from
People Magazine and you can
00:01:50.65\00:01:53.30
see the words here it
says "They See Dead People."
00:01:53.33\00:01:55.71
People magazine is a
widely read journal read
00:01:56.23\00:01:59.41
by all kinds of
different people and this
00:01:59.44\00:02:02.54
particular article
says what is it with the
00:02:02.57\00:02:04.75
dearly departed.
It seems like they are
00:02:04.78\00:02:07.28
everywhere lately.
Goals, I'm sorry ghosts,
00:02:07.31\00:02:11.23
ghouls and spirits
are invading prime time
00:02:11.26\00:02:14.59
and that it refers it
to medium, ghost whisper,
00:02:14.62\00:02:16.93
supernatural and popular mediums
00:02:16.96\00:02:19.78
like John Edward,
Allison DuBois, Sylvia Browne,
00:02:19.81\00:02:23.40
the list goes on and
on. And what we're trying
00:02:23.43\00:02:26.35
to do in this special
hot series is to address
00:02:26.38\00:02:30.70
these issues from a
Biblical perspective and
00:02:30.73\00:02:32.87
to expose the
menace behind the magic and
00:02:32.90\00:02:36.45
the dangers that are
hidden within the occult
00:02:36.48\00:02:40.00
world and to warn
people to watch out
00:02:40.03\00:02:43.77
and to be careful and
to stay away from these
00:02:44.07\00:02:47.69
influences which
really have supernatural evil
00:02:47.72\00:02:51.41
behind them which
are seeking even though
00:02:51.44\00:02:53.90
they may put out a
friendly face, friendly
00:02:53.93\00:02:56.42
happy face you know
actresses and actors
00:02:56.45\00:02:59.27
that are nice people.
There is menace that is
00:02:59.30\00:03:03.17
working behind the
scenes to suck people
00:03:03.20\00:03:05.20
down into the
darkness and that's what we're
00:03:05.23\00:03:08.08
doing here and we're
trying ultimately to turn
00:03:08.11\00:03:10.76
people from the darkness and to
00:03:10.79\00:03:12.04
promote the light.
To promote the love of
00:03:12.07\00:03:14.55
God and the truth of
this book and to prepare
00:03:14.58\00:03:18.08
young and old for the
soon return of Jesus Christ
00:03:19.41\00:03:22.23
which we believe,
we believe we're at the
00:03:22.51\00:03:24.33
edge of the big
day. And this whole
00:03:24.36\00:03:27.02
production is
designed to help to prepare
00:03:27.05\00:03:29.21
people to be
ready for the big one.
00:03:29.24\00:03:32.88
It's not an
earthquake in California.
00:03:32.91\00:03:35.22
The big one is the, the
end of the world and the
00:03:35.49\00:03:38.21
return of Lord.
That's what it's about.
00:03:38.24\00:03:40.12
Now, we've talked in
a previous program about
00:03:40.15\00:03:43.40
these currents
and behind the occult,
00:03:43.43\00:03:46.89
behind Wicca and
behind magic there are
00:03:46.92\00:03:48.94
certain currents
that are pulling now.
00:03:48.97\00:03:50.49
My question is
why do they have this
00:03:50.52\00:03:53.15
fascination with
human beings, what is their
00:03:53.18\00:03:54.98
agenda, is there a
climax point in the
00:03:55.01\00:03:57.92
future that this is
thrusting us toward and
00:03:57.95\00:04:01.07
what does the Bible
have to say about that.
00:04:01.39\00:04:02.86
Right. Where, where
are we heading? Where
00:04:02.89\00:04:05.11
are the spirits
moving humanity toward.
00:04:05.14\00:04:08.56
There is a point and
if you have a Bible I'd
00:04:08.59\00:04:10.95
invite you to turn to
the last book. The Book of
00:04:10.98\00:04:12.83
Revelation, chapter 16
points toward the final
00:04:12.86\00:04:16.86
battle and we're
going to zero in on prophecy
00:04:16.89\00:04:19.11
in this program and
just share some eye opening
00:04:19.73\00:04:22.24
passages. Revelation Chapter 16,
00:04:22.86\00:04:26.06
we're looking at the 14th verse.
00:04:26.79\00:04:28.53
Revelation chapter
16:14. The Bible says
00:04:28.56\00:04:31.79
and I'll just read
these three verses and then
00:04:31.82\00:04:33.51
we'll unpack them.
Okay. 16:14 says they are the
00:04:33.54\00:04:37.26
spirits of devils
working miracles which go forth
00:04:37.29\00:04:44.07
to the Kings of the
earth and the whole world to
00:04:44.10\00:04:47.89
gather them to the
battle of the great day of God
00:04:47.92\00:04:52.29
almighty. In verse
15, Jesus said, behold
00:04:52.32\00:04:55.47
I come as a
thief. Blessed is he who
00:04:55.50\00:04:58.04
watches and keeps his
garments, lest he walk
00:04:58.07\00:05:01.38
naked and they see
his shame and then verse
00:05:01.41\00:05:04.67
16 says he gathered
them together into a
00:05:04.70\00:05:07.67
place called in
the Hebrew tongue and
00:05:07.70\00:05:10.57
what's that
word. Its Armageddon.
00:05:10.60\00:05:12.19
That's, that's
right. The word there is
00:05:12.22\00:05:13.83
Armageddon.
Armageddon is the last
00:05:13.86\00:05:16.45
battle. It's the
apocalyptic battle,
00:05:16.48\00:05:18.41
it's the final battle
at the end of the world in
00:05:18.44\00:05:21.18
verse 14 it's called
the Battle of the Great Day
00:05:21.21\00:05:24.33
of God Almighty and
it's very significant
00:05:24.36\00:05:28.81
David and everybody
out there please listen.
00:05:28.84\00:05:31.56
It's very significant
that the build up to the final
00:05:31.59\00:05:35.97
battle of
Armageddon, the battle of God
00:05:36.00\00:05:37.85
Almighty is described
in verse 14 and it says
00:05:37.88\00:05:41.15
they are the spirits of
devils, that the spirits of
00:05:41.18\00:05:45.28
devils working behind
the scenes. It says they
00:05:45.31\00:05:49.24
work miracles, they
do wonders, signs and
00:05:49.27\00:05:51.67
wonders that people
look at and they go wow.
00:05:51.70\00:05:53.68
You know this must be
from God, but these are
00:05:53.71\00:05:56.88
deceptive forces
orchestrating things
00:05:56.91\00:05:59.24
behind the scenes and
it says that they go forth
00:05:59.27\00:06:01.68
to the Kings of the
earth and the whole world,
00:06:02.21\00:06:04.54
this was a prophecy of
a global spiritualistic
00:06:04.57\00:06:08.09
activity all over
this planet, they go out to
00:06:08.12\00:06:12.78
gather people, to
gather the world for the final
00:06:12.81\00:06:16.81
battle against God.
There are evil forces
00:06:16.84\00:06:20.19
working behind the
scenes as we talked
00:06:20.22\00:06:22.08
about in the
previous program, according to
00:06:22.11\00:06:24.74
this book, the Bible,
there is a, an individual,
00:06:24.77\00:06:27.49
a personality
called the Devil. He is the
00:06:27.52\00:06:29.95
ultimate deceiver and
he has an army of evil
00:06:29.98\00:06:33.51
angels that are
working with him behind the
00:06:33.54\00:06:35.96
scenes and they are
manifesting themselves
00:06:35.99\00:06:38.46
in many different
ways and I just think it's
00:06:38.49\00:06:40.82
extremely
significant David that when the
00:06:40.85\00:06:42.95
Book of Revelation
mentions the Battle of
00:06:42.98\00:06:44.72
Armageddon, which it
only does one time that
00:06:44.75\00:06:47.55
verse 14 tells us
that the spirits of Devils
00:06:47.58\00:06:50.44
working behind
the scenes, performing
00:06:50.95\00:06:52.73
miracles, going forth
to the whole world, this is
00:06:52.76\00:06:56.08
part of the build up,
part of the gathering of
00:06:56.11\00:06:59.97
humanity to be
ultimately on Satan's
00:07:00.00\00:07:03.03
side in the battle of the
great day of God Almighty.
00:07:03.06\00:07:07.51
And so, that's why
we're dealing with this
00:07:07.54\00:07:09.47
topic in this
series. We're talking about
00:07:09.50\00:07:11.47
witchcraft and it's
involvement with spirits.
00:07:11.50\00:07:13.50
We're talking about
spiritualism, mediums,
00:07:13.53\00:07:16.70
popular mediums,
mediums that are on TV,
00:07:16.73\00:07:18.85
that are writing the
talk show circuit, that are
00:07:18.88\00:07:21.15
writing best selling
books, New York Times
00:07:21.18\00:07:23.20
best selling
books. We're talking about
00:07:23.23\00:07:24.93
NBC programs, CBS
programs, Hollywood
00:07:24.96\00:07:27.65
movies, we're talking
about the big productions
00:07:27.68\00:07:31.30
like Harry Potter
and the Spiritualistic
00:07:32.12\00:07:34.76
influences that
are working behind the
00:07:34.79\00:07:36.95
scenes to desensitize
an entire generation to the
00:07:36.98\00:07:40.85
dangers of the,
of the occult and my
00:07:40.88\00:07:43.14
conviction is that
what's happening is we're
00:07:43.17\00:07:45.87
witnessing David,
we're witnessing the going
00:07:45.90\00:07:49.54
forth of these spirits
in the beginnings of the
00:07:49.57\00:07:53.67
build up to the
final battle of Armageddon
00:07:53.70\00:07:56.95
and what's happening
is Satan is working in
00:07:56.98\00:07:59.64
every way that he
possibly can, especially
00:07:59.67\00:08:03.03
through spiritual
manifestations from the
00:08:03.06\00:08:05.19
other side that
don't claim to be demons,
00:08:05.22\00:08:08.01
that claim to be
either the dead or the spirits
00:08:08.04\00:08:10.17
nature or the spirits
of the force and the trees
00:08:10.20\00:08:14.19
and whatever other
things people are you know
00:08:14.22\00:08:16.87
worshiping and trying to
contact from the other side.
00:08:16.90\00:08:19.94
These spirits are
impersonators, they are
00:08:20.39\00:08:22.28
demonic impersonators
and they are moving
00:08:22.31\00:08:24.65
humanity toward the
final day and Revelation
00:08:24.68\00:08:27.39
gives us a warning
and it tells us watch out
00:08:27.42\00:08:30.29
spirits of devils,
they're gonna go out.
00:08:30.32\00:08:31.99
And they are gonna
prepare humanity to be
00:08:32.37\00:08:35.46
on the wrong side
for the final battle and
00:08:35.49\00:08:38.48
we're here to warn
you and to help to get you
00:08:38.51\00:08:42.09
on the right side
instead of on the wrong side.
00:08:42.12\00:08:45.05
That's what it's all
about. Now, it seems like
00:08:45.08\00:08:47.27
Steve that within the
last five to I would say
00:08:47.30\00:08:50.43
10 years there has
been like a resurgence of
00:08:50.46\00:08:54.64
Wicca, resurgence of
witchcraft within the
00:08:54.67\00:08:57.19
main stream media.
It's no longer on the
00:08:57.22\00:08:58.75
periphery, no longer on
the fringe. That's right.
00:08:58.78\00:09:00.53
And so my question to
you is, do you believe
00:09:00.56\00:09:03.63
with this build up of
media frenzy regarding
00:09:03.66\00:09:07.48
the occult and these
kind of things that we
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.59
are approaching
the day of Armageddon.
00:09:09.62\00:09:12.00
Yes. Yes, that's
exactly what I'm saying.
00:09:12.03\00:09:14.55
Exactly that. Let
me share another quote
00:09:14.58\00:09:17.40
from a book that I
referred to previously
00:09:17.43\00:09:18.93
a book called the
Great Controversy which was
00:09:18.96\00:09:20.74
a classic Christian
work dealing with Christian
00:09:20.77\00:09:24.02
history and the
battle between good and evil
00:09:24.05\00:09:25.93
and Bible prophecy and
the things that are going
00:09:25.96\00:09:28.04
to be happening
right before Jesus returns.
00:09:28.07\00:09:30.97
In this book, page
561, many of you are
00:09:31.00\00:09:33.88
familiar with this
book. It says here that Satan
00:09:33.91\00:09:36.51
has long been preparing
for his final effort to
00:09:36.54\00:09:40.04
deceive the world.
The foundation of his work
00:09:40.07\00:09:43.04
which we've talked
about was laid by the
00:09:43.07\00:09:45.69
assurance given to
Eve in the Garden of Eden
00:09:45.72\00:09:47.89
that you shall not surely die.
00:09:47.92\00:09:50.18
We looked at that
in Genesis 3, verse 4.
00:09:50.21\00:09:52.14
That was the first lie
of Satan that you don't die
00:09:52.17\00:09:54.86
and there is no
death. And then he continued,
00:09:54.89\00:09:57.59
the serpent continued
and said in that day that
00:09:57.62\00:09:59.58
you eat your will be
open and you will be as
00:09:59.61\00:10:02.35
God knowing good and
evil. Those two lies that
00:10:02.38\00:10:04.96
there is no death
and that we're God, those
00:10:04.99\00:10:06.99
are the foundation
lies of modern spiritualism
00:10:07.02\00:10:10.97
and of the
witchcraft movement. And then it
00:10:11.00\00:10:13.69
goes on and says
little by little Satan has
00:10:13.72\00:10:16.39
prepared the way
for his master piece of
00:10:16.42\00:10:19.41
deception in the
development of spiritualism.
00:10:19.44\00:10:23.12
He has not yet reached
the full accomplishment
00:10:23.75\00:10:26.89
of his designs and then
it says, but this will be
00:10:26.92\00:10:31.03
reached in the
last remnant of time.
00:10:31.06\00:10:35.13
And then there is a
quote from the Bible
00:10:36.01\00:10:38.35
which was
Revelation 16:14, they are the
00:10:38.38\00:10:42.31
spirits of devils going
forth to the whole world
00:10:42.34\00:10:46.04
to gather them for
the battle of Armageddon
00:10:46.07\00:10:48.27
and my point is
again that revelation 16
00:10:48.30\00:10:53.40
predicts that there will
be a global spiritualistic
00:10:53.43\00:10:57.12
manifestation of
spirits of devils working
00:10:57.82\00:11:01.14
behind the scenes as
part of the activity of
00:11:01.17\00:11:05.83
the devil in the
last remnant of time that
00:11:05.86\00:11:09.07
will gather the world
for the battle of Armageddon.
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.67
And that is
where we are right now.
00:11:12.08\00:11:14.03
Never in my 28 years
of ministry have I ever
00:11:14.06\00:11:17.55
seen so much
spiritualistic activity
00:11:17.58\00:11:20.42
going on through
Hollywood and through
00:11:20.45\00:11:22.73
popular mediums
that are now like I said
00:11:22.76\00:11:25.53
writing the talk
show circuit and speaking
00:11:25.56\00:11:28.74
right on TV and this
is what's happening and
00:11:28.77\00:11:32.40
we're almost there.
You know I want to go
00:11:33.19\00:11:34.85
home, I want to
raise my son in heaven,
00:11:34.88\00:11:36.23
I've got a two-year-old,
I've got a lovely wife
00:11:36.26\00:11:38.00
and I look at Seth
and I just think to myself
00:11:38.03\00:11:41.34
you know let's go home
and we're almost there.
00:11:41.95\00:11:44.76
I can hear the
foot prints of God
00:11:45.53\00:11:48.47
approaching and
that's why we're doing this
00:11:48.50\00:11:50.63
program to help you
to be aware of what's
00:11:50.66\00:11:53.23
going in our
world. So, on one hand you
00:11:53.26\00:11:57.14
have Christ, the
other hand you have Satan
00:11:57.17\00:11:59.97
and Satan the, I
just said the thing behind
00:12:00.00\00:12:03.79
the madness is that
he sees a point in the
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.21
future in which there
is going to be the last
00:12:06.24\00:12:08.63
battle, which is
what Armageddon means,
00:12:08.66\00:12:10.29
between the forces of
light and the forces of
00:12:10.32\00:12:12.18
darkness and his
agenda is to make sure that as
00:12:12.21\00:12:15.65
many individuals are
ultimately on his side of
00:12:15.68\00:12:19.23
this battle
between Christ and Satan.
00:12:19.26\00:12:21.12
He is gathering
people to be on his side.
00:12:21.15\00:12:24.28
Now, I want to zero
in David on verse 15.
00:12:24.31\00:12:27.59
A lot of people talk
today about Armageddon.
00:12:27.62\00:12:29.51
They have made movies
on this but there is very
00:12:29.54\00:12:31.57
few that really know
what the Bible really
00:12:31.60\00:12:34.18
says about this
subject and the word
00:12:34.21\00:12:37.45
Armageddon like
with mentioned is only
00:12:37.48\00:12:38.90
mentioned one time
in Revelation 16:16 and
00:12:38.93\00:12:42.28
it's in verse 15.
It's in the one verse right
00:12:42.31\00:12:45.27
before Armageddon
sandwiched in between
00:12:45.30\00:12:47.98
the spirits of devils
in verse 14, Armageddon
00:12:48.01\00:12:50.55
mentioned in verse
16, that in verse 15 Jesus
00:12:50.58\00:12:53.92
Christ inserts
special council to us.
00:12:53.95\00:12:58.28
Giving us instruction
as to how to be ready
00:12:59.66\00:13:02.54
and that's what I
want to focus on. We're not
00:13:03.10\00:13:04.59
here just to talk
about the darkness, but we
00:13:04.62\00:13:06.75
want to point
to the light. Amen.
00:13:06.78\00:13:08.14
And here is the
light. In verse 15 Jesus says
00:13:08.17\00:13:10.81
behold I come as a
thief, I'm coming soon.
00:13:10.84\00:13:13.00
When you see all
this things happening hear
00:13:13.03\00:13:15.07
the voice of
Christ saying I'm coming,
00:13:15.10\00:13:16.88
I'm coming soon as a
thief and then he says
00:13:16.91\00:13:20.03
blessed is who that
watches and when Jesus
00:13:20.06\00:13:23.38
says blessed is he
who watches, he doesn't
00:13:23.41\00:13:25.71
mean watches
prime time TV programs,
00:13:25.74\00:13:28.61
talking about ghosts
and spirits. He doesn't mean
00:13:28.64\00:13:31.82
watching movies about
a boy wizard who go to
00:13:31.85\00:13:34.87
Hogwarts school of
witchcraft and wizardry,
00:13:34.90\00:13:37.30
referring to the Harry
Potter series. Jesus is
00:13:37.33\00:13:39.83
talking about
watching out for deception and
00:13:39.86\00:13:43.53
for the subtle influences
of evil angels working
00:13:43.56\00:13:47.33
through the media
and through whatever else
00:13:47.36\00:13:49.48
they can use, to get
into our minds. Blessed is he
00:13:49.51\00:13:53.55
who watches, watches out.
Jesus said watch and pray,
00:13:53.58\00:13:57.06
lest you enter
into temptation and then
00:13:57.09\00:13:59.42
notice, verse 15.
Blessed is who watches
00:13:59.45\00:14:02.19
and then does what
else. Keeps his garments.
00:14:02.22\00:14:05.42
Right. Keeps his
garments, lest he walk
00:14:05.45\00:14:09.28
naked and they see
his shame. Now that's
00:14:09.31\00:14:13.70
amazing. And this is
a very personal verse,
00:14:13.73\00:14:16.80
its talking to individuals
and it's Christ council to
00:14:16.83\00:14:20.19
us, how to be
ready for Armageddon.
00:14:20.22\00:14:22.32
Armageddon is
mentioned verse 16.
00:14:22.35\00:14:24.24
Verse 15 Jesus tells
us to keep our garments.
00:14:24.27\00:14:26.86
We've got to have
our garments and if we
00:14:26.89\00:14:28.81
don't have those
garments on then we're
00:14:28.84\00:14:30.92
gonna end up naked and
we're gonna be ashamed.
00:14:30.95\00:14:33.89
Now here is the question.
When was the very first
00:14:33.92\00:14:37.72
time that anybody
ever walked naked in this
00:14:37.75\00:14:41.61
world and then the
next question is what are
00:14:41.64\00:14:44.92
those garments that
Jesus tells us we've got
00:14:44.95\00:14:47.41
to wear in order to be
dressed for Armageddon.
00:14:47.44\00:14:50.21
So, when did
anyone first walked naked.
00:14:50.71\00:14:52.55
We've read about that.
We've read about it in a
00:14:53.48\00:14:54.97
previous program.
Right. About when the first lie
00:14:55.00\00:14:58.72
in the Bible and
then after Eve and Adam
00:14:58.75\00:15:01.25
part took of the
fruit, they realized
00:15:01.28\00:15:02.88
that they were
naked. That's exactly right.
00:15:02.91\00:15:04.78
And that's the first
place that I can look at.
00:15:04.81\00:15:06.12
That's right. When
Jesus says keep your
00:15:06.15\00:15:08.06
garments lest you
walk naked what he is doing
00:15:08.09\00:15:10.58
is he is pointing us
right back to the Garden of
00:15:10.61\00:15:12.84
Eden, when Adam
and Eve yielded to the
00:15:12.87\00:15:14.83
serpent who said you
don't die and you're God.
00:15:14.86\00:15:18.11
Those two doctrines you
don't die and you're God.
00:15:18.50\00:15:20.98
Those were the
doctrines of the serpent.
00:15:21.01\00:15:22.67
Adam and Eve
believed them and they ate the
00:15:22.70\00:15:25.55
fruit and then they
lost their rope of light and
00:15:25.58\00:15:28.38
they ended up naked and ashamed.
00:15:28.41\00:15:30.74
And when Jesus tells
us keep your garments and
00:15:30.77\00:15:34.19
don't, or else
you're gonna walk naked.
00:15:34.22\00:15:36.53
He is pointing us
right back to the Garden of
00:15:36.56\00:15:38.41
Eden and he is telling
us to be aware of those
00:15:38.44\00:15:41.78
exact teachings of
the serpent and ultimately
00:15:41.81\00:15:44.84
he is warning us about
sin. He is warning us about
00:15:44.87\00:15:47.45
going our own way,
living our own life,
00:15:47.48\00:15:50.18
doing what we want to
do instead of what God
00:15:50.21\00:15:52.35
wants us to do and
when people do that,
00:15:52.38\00:15:55.07
when Adam and Eve
did that the result was
00:15:55.10\00:15:57.32
they lost their
heavenly robe of righteousness
00:15:57.35\00:16:00.37
and they ended up
naked and that's the
00:16:00.40\00:16:03.23
condition that we're
in naturally that human
00:16:03.26\00:16:05.14
beings are in, in
this world as we are
00:16:05.17\00:16:07.41
naturally naked. It
doesn't mean that we
00:16:07.44\00:16:09.45
don't have any literal
clothes on. It's talking
00:16:09.48\00:16:12.22
about spiritual
nakedness, that we're
00:16:12.25\00:16:14.42
spiritually naked in
sin, we're exposed to the
00:16:14.45\00:16:18.82
justice of God, a
dead sin and we need a
00:16:18.85\00:16:22.29
covering; we need a
covering and what is
00:16:22.32\00:16:25.73
that covering, who
is that covering, how do
00:16:25.76\00:16:28.61
we get that covering,
that is the core message
00:16:28.64\00:16:33.14
of the book of
Revelation and of our
00:16:33.17\00:16:35.58
preparation for the
Battle of Armageddon.
00:16:35.61\00:16:37.78
And that's
interesting too because in your
00:16:39.18\00:16:40.64
previous program
we also noted that God
00:16:40.78\00:16:42.63
made provision
for Adam and Eve after
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.63
they found out
they were naked, he got
00:16:44.66\00:16:46.59
skins of animals to
clothe them which was
00:16:46.62\00:16:49.32
a symbol of what I
think you're gonna be
00:16:49.35\00:16:51.30
talking about here
and again, what was that
00:16:51.33\00:16:52.95
covering, that covered.
That's right. That's right.
00:16:52.98\00:16:54.91
The garments are
mentioned many times
00:16:54.94\00:16:57.04
in the Bible. All
the way back in Genesis
00:16:57.07\00:16:59.70
God clothed Adam
and Eve we talked about
00:16:59.73\00:17:01.53
with skins of
animals in Genesis 3:21,
00:17:01.56\00:17:04.23
which represented the
perfect garment of the
00:17:04.26\00:17:07.91
righteousness of
his son, who would
00:17:07.94\00:17:10.09
eventually come down
here and die on a cross
00:17:10.12\00:17:11.94
for our sins. The
book of Revelation often
00:17:11.97\00:17:14.36
refers to these
garments in Genesis, I'm sorry
00:17:14.39\00:17:17.70
Revelation chapter 3
verse 18, Jesus says I
00:17:17.73\00:17:22.18
counsel you, talking
to the church, I counsel
00:17:22.21\00:17:24.86
you to buy of me, gold
tried in the fire that you
00:17:24.89\00:17:28.56
may be rich and white
raiment, white raiment
00:17:28.59\00:17:32.35
that you may be
clothed. There it is and that
00:17:32.38\00:17:35.48
the shame of
your nakedness do not
00:17:35.51\00:17:38.10
appear and anoint your
eyes with eye salve that
00:17:38.13\00:17:41.24
you may see, that you
may see the truth, that
00:17:41.27\00:17:44.09
you may see your
need for the robe of that
00:17:44.12\00:17:48.64
white garment white
raiment. The white robe
00:17:48.67\00:17:52.04
is mentioned many
times, here in Revelation 3:18,
00:17:52.07\00:17:54.86
Revelation chapter 7,
here is another reference.
00:17:55.54\00:17:58.03
And Jesus wants our
eyes to be opened to the
00:17:59.51\00:18:01.17
need for that, that
garment. Revelation 7 verse 9,
00:18:01.20\00:18:07.06
John looked into the
future and he said after
00:18:08.46\00:18:10.31
this I'll be held in
lower great multitude which
00:18:10.34\00:18:12.46
no man could
number, of all nations and
00:18:12.49\00:18:14.81
kindreds and people
in tongues, they stood
00:18:14.84\00:18:17.09
before the throne,
the throne of God and
00:18:17.12\00:18:19.06
before the lamb and
they were clothed and
00:18:19.09\00:18:21.65
what were they clothed
with? They were clothed with
00:18:21.68\00:18:24.28
white robes. With white robe.
00:18:24.31\00:18:26.66
That's right and palms
in their hands and they
00:18:26.69\00:18:28.50
cried with a loud
voice saying salvation to our
00:18:28.53\00:18:31.07
God who sits upon the
throne and to the lamb.
00:18:31.10\00:18:34.34
That's a, that's a
precious picture there
00:18:35.01\00:18:36.79
on the screen of Jesus
hugging a sinner and he
00:18:36.82\00:18:40.35
is placing upon him
the white robe of his
00:18:40.38\00:18:43.60
perfect
righteousness. The covering was
00:18:43.63\00:18:46.67
predicted in Genesis
3:21, the covering of
00:18:46.70\00:18:50.19
the animal skins,
the covering is mentioned
00:18:50.22\00:18:52.68
in Revelation
3:18 as white garments.
00:18:52.71\00:18:55.14
The covering is
again mentioned in
00:18:55.17\00:18:57.48
Revelation 7, 9 and
10, that God's gonna have
00:18:57.51\00:19:00.49
people one of these
days from every nation
00:19:00.52\00:19:03.30
who are not
following the serpent, not
00:19:03.33\00:19:05.02
following the doctrines
of the devil, not following
00:19:05.05\00:19:07.29
the spiritualistic
manifestations, but are
00:19:07.32\00:19:10.36
following the Holy
Spirit, are following the
00:19:10.39\00:19:12.60
truth of the Bible and
have given their life to
00:19:12.63\00:19:15.13
Jesus Christ and he
has now put upon them his
00:19:15.16\00:19:18.62
perfect, pure, white
robe. David, that's one
00:19:18.65\00:19:22.30
reason why we call our
ministry White Horse Media,
00:19:22.33\00:19:24.59
even though I'm
wearing a black shirt
00:19:24.62\00:19:26.09
you've got the white
horse on there and the
00:19:26.12\00:19:28.41
white horse is described
in Revelation 19, where
00:19:28.44\00:19:32.75
Jesus is described as
coming on a White Horse.
00:19:32.78\00:19:34.89
White represents his
purity. It's not a reference
00:19:34.92\00:19:37.68
to the color of our
skin, it's a reference to the
00:19:37.71\00:19:40.02
purity of Jesus
Christ and the most beautiful
00:19:40.05\00:19:43.26
white thing, garment
described in the Bible is
00:19:43.97\00:19:48.77
the white robe of
his righteousness.
00:19:48.80\00:19:50.69
I remember it still,
I'll always remember the
00:19:50.72\00:19:53.55
day of my wedding
when I saw my lovely
00:19:53.58\00:19:56.88
bride to be
Kristen Wohlberg walking
00:19:56.91\00:19:59.63
down the isle at that
time she was Kirsten Demoras.
00:19:59.66\00:20:03.19
But not yet. But
not yet, not quite
00:20:03.22\00:20:04.71
yet Wohlberg. And
then when I said I do, that
00:20:04.74\00:20:06.66
was it. And I still
remember seeing her in
00:20:06.69\00:20:09.18
a beautiful white
dress and what Jesus wants to
00:20:09.21\00:20:12.69
do is he wants to
cover our sin, cover our
00:20:12.72\00:20:15.40
nakedness, cover our
past, cover our failures,
00:20:15.43\00:20:18.44
cover whatever
we've done, all of our
00:20:18.47\00:20:20.55
mistakes with his
white robe which ultimately
00:20:20.58\00:20:24.32
represents his, his
just his pure covering of
00:20:24.35\00:20:26.66
forgiveness that when
we choose to turn from
00:20:26.69\00:20:28.85
sin he'll wrap us in
his love and he'll wash
00:20:28.88\00:20:32.98
those sins away and
he'll put a perfect white
00:20:33.01\00:20:36.00
robe on us. Let me tell
a quick story. I heard a
00:20:36.03\00:20:39.70
story once about a 13
or 14-year-old boy whose
00:20:39.73\00:20:43.21
name was Tim and he
lived out in, out in the
00:20:43.24\00:20:46.26
country with his
parents, mom and dad,
00:20:46.29\00:20:48.74
and he had a temper and
one day he got in a fight
00:20:48.77\00:20:50.84
with his dad out in the
field. They were working in the
00:20:50.87\00:20:52.42
field and he said to
his dad, I'm out of here.
00:20:52.45\00:20:54.89
I'm tired of you,
I don't wanna be here
00:20:54.92\00:20:56.99
I'm gone. So he left
the house and he lived out
00:20:57.02\00:21:00.06
in the world for three
years trying to make it
00:21:00.09\00:21:02.04
on his own like
the prodigal son.
00:21:02.07\00:21:03.41
Well after three years
life wasn't going so well
00:21:03.44\00:21:05.78
for Tim and he
decided that maybe he would go
00:21:05.81\00:21:10.48
home if his dad wanted
him back. So, he made a
00:21:10.51\00:21:13.48
phone call one day
in the middle of the day
00:21:13.51\00:21:14.89
when he knew his
dad would be out in the
00:21:14.92\00:21:16.13
field and he called
up his mother and he just
00:21:16.16\00:21:18.60
quickly said mom,
it's Tim, didn't give her a
00:21:18.63\00:21:20.37
chance to talk.
He said mom it's Tim.
00:21:20.40\00:21:21.82
I've decided to buy
train ticket and I'm going to
00:21:22.50\00:21:24.52
be passing at the
bottom. They lived on a hill
00:21:24.55\00:21:26.79
and at the bottom of
their hill was a train station.
00:21:26.82\00:21:29.08
And just one house on
the hill. And he said I'll
00:21:29.70\00:21:32.06
be on a certain train
on a certain day; it was on
00:21:32.09\00:21:34.36
a Monday I think and
I'll be passing and I'll be
00:21:34.39\00:21:36.51
going to that station
and then I'm gonna look
00:21:36.54\00:21:38.48
through my window
and I'm gonna look out
00:21:38.51\00:21:39.63
and see our house.
And Tim said mom talk to
00:21:39.66\00:21:42.12
dad and if he is
willing to take me back
00:21:42.15\00:21:44.51
have him just hang
something white on the porch.
00:21:44.84\00:21:46.70
And if when I get to
that station, I look up
00:21:46.73\00:21:49.32
and I see something
white then I'll know dad
00:21:49.35\00:21:51.53
wants me back. But if I
don't see anything white
00:21:51.56\00:21:53.94
I'll just keep
going and then he hung up.
00:21:53.97\00:21:55.60
Didn't even give his
dad a chance to talk.
00:21:55.63\00:21:57.64
Well, the day came and
he bought his ticket and
00:21:57.67\00:22:00.59
he got on the train.
And he happened to sit next
00:22:00.62\00:22:02.57
to a pastor. And Tim
sat down and he was really
00:22:02.60\00:22:05.10
nervous biting his nails
and the pastor noticed that.
00:22:05.13\00:22:07.21
And he said young
man what's going on.
00:22:07.55\00:22:09.10
And then Tim
explained to him all about what
00:22:09.13\00:22:11.37
had happened. And as
they continued to talk
00:22:11.40\00:22:13.70
the train was
winding around the bends,
00:22:13.73\00:22:15.57
finally they were
getting close to that final,
00:22:15.60\00:22:17.54
final bend and Tim
said to the pastor.
00:22:17.57\00:22:20.68
He said Mr. Minister,
he said I'm so nervous
00:22:20.71\00:22:23.40
when we go around that
final bend I'm going to
00:22:24.60\00:22:26.51
close my eyes. He can't look.
00:22:26.54\00:22:27.74
I can't look and he
said I want you to just look
00:22:27.77\00:22:29.51
through the window and
you'll see our house up
00:22:29.54\00:22:30.82
on the hill you can't
miss, that's right up there.
00:22:30.85\00:22:32.47
And he said if you see
anything white you tell me.
00:22:32.50\00:22:34.56
And if you don't
then just don't say a word
00:22:35.09\00:22:37.05
and when the train stops
it will just go on and I'll
00:22:37.08\00:22:40.16
just go with it and
that will be it. So the train
00:22:40.19\00:22:43.64
started going over
that final bend and Tim
00:22:43.67\00:22:45.50
closed his eyes and the
Pastor said a prayer and
00:22:45.53\00:22:48.41
they went around
that bend and the pastor
00:22:48.44\00:22:50.45
looked through
the window and he was
00:22:50.48\00:22:52.09
totally shocked at
what he saw. What he saw
00:22:52.12\00:22:54.59
cost him to lose all
of his ministerial dignity
00:22:54.62\00:22:56.93
and the train
stopped and he jumped up and
00:22:57.53\00:22:59.21
he grabbed the boy and
he said Tim, he said look.
00:22:59.24\00:23:02.37
And Tim opened
his eyes and he looked
00:23:02.87\00:23:04.12
through that
window and he was totally
00:23:04.15\00:23:05.73
shocked to see his
little house on the hill
00:23:05.76\00:23:07.50
completely covered
in white. Those parents
00:23:07.53\00:23:11.81
had taken every
white blanket, every white
00:23:11.84\00:23:13.74
sheet, every white bed
spread, every white towel,
00:23:13.77\00:23:16.05
every white napkin,
all the white toilet paper
00:23:16.08\00:23:20.00
everything white that
those parents could find
00:23:20.83\00:23:23.39
and they draped the
house totally and the
00:23:23.42\00:23:26.49
last thing the Pastor
remembers as he looked
00:23:26.52\00:23:29.18
through the window
was seeing the back of
00:23:29.21\00:23:30.92
the legs of that young
man running up the hill
00:23:30.95\00:23:33.92
as fast as he could,
running up through the
00:23:33.95\00:23:35.39
steps, through the
white sheets, through the
00:23:35.42\00:23:38.14
porch, through the
front door and then the Pastor
00:23:38.17\00:23:41.79
couldn't see it. But
the boy had run into the
00:23:41.82\00:23:44.54
arms of two
parents, lonely parents who
00:23:44.57\00:23:48.69
would do anything to
let their son know that
00:23:48.72\00:23:52.40
they loved him and they
wanted him to come home.
00:23:52.43\00:23:54.95
Amen. And you know
what, I mean that story is
00:23:54.98\00:23:57.91
sometimes I breakdown
when I tell that story
00:23:57.94\00:23:59.93
'cause I'm a Dad
myself and that story reveals
00:23:59.96\00:24:04.11
God's love for you
and it reveals the message
00:24:04.14\00:24:06.75
of the book of
Revelation and it reveals the
00:24:06.78\00:24:08.97
preparation that we
need, in order to be
00:24:09.00\00:24:11.89
ready for Armageddon.
Jesus loves us and he's
00:24:11.92\00:24:14.38
got a white robe for
us, just like all that white
00:24:14.41\00:24:16.35
all around that house.
And there is nothing he
00:24:16.38\00:24:18.36
wants more than to
put that white garment
00:24:18.39\00:24:20.57
around us to forgive
our sins and to help us to
00:24:20.60\00:24:23.28
stand, so that we're
not naked on his side
00:24:23.31\00:24:26.70
following his book
and his Holy Spirit, as we
00:24:26.73\00:24:31.55
prepare for the battle
of Armageddon and that's
00:24:31.58\00:24:34.86
the message of Revelation
David, when Jesus Christ
00:24:34.89\00:24:37.99
says and maybe I'll
just finish up with this and
00:24:38.02\00:24:40.42
then I'll let you
wind this up. Sure.
00:24:40.45\00:24:42.96
Revelation 16:14
warns us that they are the
00:24:43.54\00:24:48.90
spirits of devils and
they're working through
00:24:48.93\00:24:51.51
Hollywood, they
are working through
00:24:51.54\00:24:52.67
mediums and witchcraft
and all of the things that
00:24:52.70\00:24:54.63
we've been talking
about in this series.
00:24:54.66\00:24:56.14
And they're working
miracles and they're
00:24:56.17\00:24:57.77
going forth right now
to the Kings of the earth
00:24:57.80\00:25:00.33
and the whole world to
gather them to the battle
00:25:00.36\00:25:02.42
of the great
day of God Almighty.
00:25:02.45\00:25:03.76
Behold I come as a
thief Jesus tells us.
00:25:04.18\00:25:06.50
Blessed is he who
watches. Not watches those
00:25:07.14\00:25:09.62
programs but who
watches out for the
00:25:09.65\00:25:11.86
deceptions of the
devil and keeps his garments,
00:25:11.89\00:25:14.26
the garments, the white
robe, the perfect robe of
00:25:14.66\00:25:17.44
Christ righteousness
that is our key, that is
00:25:17.47\00:25:22.32
the key to our
preparation for Armageddon.
00:25:22.35\00:25:25.43
We can't stand on our
own. If we just try to
00:25:25.46\00:25:28.07
think we're good
enough and that you know
00:25:28.10\00:25:29.48
we can do it on our
own, we're gonna end
00:25:29.51\00:25:32.53
up naked, we're
gonna end up ashamed.
00:25:32.56\00:25:34.46
We need a white
robe of covering,
00:25:34.49\00:25:36.25
Jesus Christ perfect
covering, that's how we
00:25:36.66\00:25:38.94
stand at Armageddon
and the way to have it
00:25:38.97\00:25:42.94
is to realize that we
don't have it and that
00:25:43.61\00:25:46.12
we need it and then to
trust in Christ to give it
00:25:46.15\00:25:49.12
to us, to rely on
him entirely to turn from
00:25:49.15\00:25:52.39
the darkness to
trusting him, so he can put upon
00:25:52.42\00:25:55.97
us the perfect white
robe of righteousness.
00:25:56.00\00:25:59.72
Amen. That's the
message of Revelation.
00:25:59.75\00:26:01.93
Amen. Amen. Warns us you know.
00:26:01.96\00:26:04.24
Stay away from the
occult, stay away from
00:26:04.27\00:26:06.65
the spirits of devils
and come to the white robe
00:26:06.68\00:26:10.09
of your savior.
Amen. Praise God.
00:26:10.12\00:26:13.13
Praise God. Well,
Steve we've covered a lot of
00:26:13.16\00:26:15.54
topics here and
we've just about one minute
00:26:15.57\00:26:18.65
left and I'm thinking
about this, there is a
00:26:18.68\00:26:22.51
battle going to
take place between Christ
00:26:22.54\00:26:24.73
and Satan, between the
forces of light and the
00:26:24.76\00:26:27.06
forces of darkness and
that robe I'm seeing is
00:26:27.09\00:26:30.13
essential as far as
protection to making
00:26:30.16\00:26:32.70
sure that you make it
out of this battle, which
00:26:32.73\00:26:35.43
we're all coming to and
just in a nutshell, in the
00:26:35.46\00:26:38.56
last minute or so,
could you just give an appeal,
00:26:38.59\00:26:42.91
or appeal to the
person to accept that robe of
00:26:42.94\00:26:45.97
Christ's righteousness
or what can they do,
00:26:46.00\00:26:48.09
maybe they have been
dabbling in the occult,
00:26:48.12\00:26:50.64
in witchcraft, or maybe
they, they haven't given
00:26:50.67\00:26:52.37
their life to Christ.
What is the compelling
00:26:52.40\00:26:54.76
motivation that drives
us to accept that robe?
00:26:54.79\00:26:57.03
Yes, we have a
whole program coming still
00:26:57.06\00:26:59.41
yet in this series
about defense against the dark
00:26:59.44\00:27:01.65
arts, but the
motivation right now is the
00:27:01.68\00:27:04.16
motivation of God's
love. Here's a quote from
00:27:04.19\00:27:06.23
Napoleon Bonaparte,
great French military
00:27:06.26\00:27:09.71
General. He said
Alexander, Caesar,
00:27:09.74\00:27:11.78
Charlemagne and
myself founded empires,
00:27:11.81\00:27:14.90
but what foundation
did we rest the creation
00:27:14.93\00:27:17.35
of our genius. He said
upon force. Jesus Christ
00:27:17.38\00:27:20.79
founded an empire
upon love and at this hour
00:27:20.82\00:27:24.03
millions of men
would die for him.
00:27:24.06\00:27:26.83
The foundation, the
message is about Jesus
00:27:27.87\00:27:30.14
died for you, he wants
you to get your life to
00:27:30.17\00:27:32.28
him and he'll clothe
you with that perfect robe
00:27:32.31\00:27:34.78
and prepare you for
heaven. Don't miss it,
00:27:34.81\00:27:37.18
don't miss it or
you're missing everything.
00:27:37.21\00:27:39.34
Amen. Amen. Thank
you so much Steve.
00:27:39.37\00:27:42.43
Well, we're
quickly winding down here.
00:27:42.46\00:27:45.17
We've talked
about Armageddon and the
00:27:45.20\00:27:46.73
protection against Armageddon.
00:27:46.76\00:27:48.65
The protection
against being deceived in the
00:27:48.97\00:27:51.06
last days is
having that robe of Christ
00:27:51.09\00:27:54.52
righteousness and
it's my appeal is to appeal
00:27:54.55\00:27:57.89
to you to accept that
robe of Christ righteous.
00:27:57.92\00:28:00.33
Whatever it is in your
life that you're dealing
00:28:00.36\00:28:01.91
with, Jesus is the
answer and he will give you
00:28:01.94\00:28:05.30
that sense of peace.
My name is David Shin
00:28:05.33\00:28:07.46
and I'm here
with Steve Wohlberg.
00:28:07.49\00:28:08.83
Join us again next time.
00:28:08.86\00:28:10.19
