Pastor Byrd: I want you to
take your Bibles and hold them
00:00:20.66\00:00:22.70
up as we did last night.
00:00:22.70\00:00:23.83
Hold them up.
00:00:23.83\00:00:24.83
Shake them.
00:00:24.83\00:00:26.76
Shake the devil
out of this place.
00:00:26.76\00:00:28.46
Come on, shake him out.
00:00:28.46\00:00:29.30
All right.
00:00:29.30\00:00:30.00
Repeat after me: Every
promise in this book is mine,
00:00:30.00\00:00:33.63
every chapter,
every verse, every line.
00:00:33.63\00:00:37.60
I am saved by his grace divine.
00:00:37.60\00:00:40.10
Every promise in
this book is mine.
00:00:40.10\00:00:46.00
Father God, bless us now.
00:00:46.00\00:00:48.00
Thank you for letting
us make it to this point.
00:00:50.00\00:00:53.80
Now, God, as we open
up your Word, we need you.
00:00:53.80\00:00:57.36
We need a word.
00:00:57.36\00:00:59.76
If we don't hear from
you, God, what will we do?
00:00:59.76\00:01:02.56
For, God, now, take us, put our
minds in the frame to receive
00:01:02.56\00:01:08.93
your Word tonight.
00:01:08.93\00:01:11.00
Now, God, like last night,
it won't be a cotton-candy
00:01:11.00\00:01:13.50
word, it's going to
be a word that cuts.
00:01:13.50\00:01:17.13
But, God, we pray that we
would receive through our hearts
00:01:17.13\00:01:21.50
tonight what you have for us.
00:01:21.50\00:01:23.23
And when we leave
here, we'll be able to say
00:01:23.23\00:01:26.13
it was good to have been here.
00:01:26.13\00:01:27.13
Hide me behind your
cross, forgive us of our sins.
00:01:27.13\00:01:29.70
In the name of Jesus, we pray.
00:01:29.70\00:01:31.53
Let everyone say Amen.
00:01:31.53\00:01:33.20
And Amen.
00:01:33.20\00:01:36.13
As we shared last night,
we've come to study the Word
00:01:36.13\00:01:38.20
of God.
00:01:38.20\00:01:39.20
Come on, say Amen.
00:01:39.20\00:01:40.20
Talk to me.
00:01:40.20\00:01:41.20
We've come to
study the Word of God.
00:01:41.20\00:01:43.20
Come on, say Amen.
00:01:43.20\00:01:44.20
Now, I told you last night,
there's a famine in the land
00:01:44.20\00:01:46.36
and it's not bread and
water, but the Word of God.
00:01:46.36\00:01:52.03
Told you last night, too many
people come to church and they
00:01:52.03\00:01:54.43
don't know the Word of God.
00:01:54.43\00:01:57.53
That is a ploy of the devil.
00:01:57.53\00:01:59.66
The devil wants us to come
to church, get excited, jump up
00:01:59.66\00:02:03.83
and down and shout, and
then when church is all over
00:02:03.83\00:02:06.36
and someone asks,
what did you shout about?
00:02:06.36\00:02:08.36
And you don't know.
00:02:08.36\00:02:10.90
I tell people all the time,
preaching is not decibel level.
00:02:10.90\00:02:16.10
If you're going to
holler, say something worth
00:02:16.10\00:02:18.13
hollering about.
00:02:18.13\00:02:19.46
Know what you believe, know
why you believe it, and know
00:02:19.46\00:02:25.96
where it's found.
00:02:25.96\00:02:27.86
Now, we discover when we study
the Word of God, people want to
00:02:27.86\00:02:31.13
pick and choose from Scripture.
00:02:31.13\00:02:34.16
They want to make the
Bible like a smorgasbord.
00:02:34.16\00:02:36.73
A buffet.
00:02:36.73\00:02:37.73
I'm going to pick and
choose what I want to follow.
00:02:37.73\00:02:40.73
But, as we said last night,
the Word of God, all of it,
00:02:40.73\00:02:44.30
is inspired by God.
00:02:44.30\00:02:46.83
And people want to pick
and choose what they study
00:02:46.83\00:02:49.03
and so some folk
say, I don't want to study
00:02:49.03\00:02:51.23
Daniel and the
Revelation, that's too hard.
00:02:51.23\00:02:54.06
Just give me grace, give me
love, and I'll be all right.
00:02:54.06\00:02:57.83
But Jesus said, if you
love me, keep my commandments.
00:02:57.83\00:03:02.80
I don't want to study
Daniel, I don't want to study
00:03:02.80\00:03:05.30
Revelation, I don't
want to study prophecy.
00:03:05.30\00:03:07.30
It's too hard.
00:03:07.30\00:03:08.30
I don't know what
the symbols represent.
00:03:08.30\00:03:11.43
Daniel and the Revelation,
those books make me scared.
00:03:11.43\00:03:14.90
But God tonight,
remember, has not given you
00:03:14.90\00:03:17.93
a spirit of fear,
but a spirit of love,
00:03:17.93\00:03:21.30
a spirt of power, a
spirit of a sound mind
00:03:21.30\00:03:24.80
and understanding,
and the devil doesn't want
00:03:24.80\00:03:27.10
you to understand Daniel
and the Revelation because
00:03:27.10\00:03:29.70
it exposes him.
00:03:29.70\00:03:32.60
But when you understand
what all these symbols
00:03:32.60\00:03:35.10
and all these beasts,
and all these animals,
00:03:35.10\00:03:38.26
what they mean,
and you will understand
00:03:38.26\00:03:41.50
that Revelation is a
book about God's love revealed
00:03:41.50\00:03:45.20
in Jesus Christ.
00:03:45.20\00:03:46.76
And the fact is,
tonight, Jesus wants to save us.
00:03:46.76\00:03:50.00
Jesus wants to
do what, everybody?
00:03:50.00\00:03:52.13
Jesus wants to save us.
00:03:52.13\00:03:53.40
Now, I'll say this again
because I want it to sink in
00:03:53.40\00:03:56.40
to your spirit, Revelation,
Daniel, these books are all
00:03:56.40\00:04:02.06
about who we're going
to give our worship to.
00:04:02.06\00:04:05.43
Are we going to give our
worship to God or are we going
00:04:05.43\00:04:08.86
to give our
worship to the devil?
00:04:08.86\00:04:11.66
Now, let's stop and review.
00:04:11.66\00:04:13.16
Let's go to Word.
00:04:13.16\00:04:14.16
Go to the book of Revelation.
00:04:14.16\00:04:15.16
What book did I say, everybody?
00:04:15.16\00:04:16.96
And we're going to go
to Revelation, Chapter 1.
00:04:16.96\00:04:19.00
Let's review on how we got
Revelation, how it got to us.
00:04:19.00\00:04:25.76
Revelation 1:1, if you have
it let me hear you say Amen.
00:04:25.76\00:04:31.43
If you don't
have it say, hold on.
00:04:31.43\00:04:33.96
Well, hurry up.
00:04:33.96\00:04:35.83
Revelation 1:1.
00:04:35.83\00:04:37.23
The Word of God
says: "The revelation"
00:04:37.23\00:04:42.13
of whom, everybody?
00:04:42.13\00:04:44.33
Come on, the
revelation of whom, everybody?
00:04:44.33\00:04:46.33
(Aud: Jesus Christ) "Which God
gave unto him, to show unto his
00:04:46.33\00:04:49.63
servants things which
must shortly come to" what?
00:04:49.63\00:04:52.36
(Aud: Pass) "And he sent
and signified it by his" what?
00:04:52.36\00:04:55.56
(Aud: Angel) "Unto his
servant" whom, everybody?
00:04:55.56\00:04:58.03
(Aud: John) "Who bare
record of the word of the God,
00:04:58.03\00:05:00.10
and of the testimony of
Jesus Christ, and of all
00:05:00.10\00:05:02.10
things that he saw.
00:05:02.10\00:05:03.23
Blessed is he that" what?
00:05:03.23\00:05:05.43
Come on, blessed is
he that what, everybody?
00:05:05.43\00:05:07.43
(Aud: Readeth) "And they
that hear the words of this
00:05:07.43\00:05:09.43
prophecy, and keep those
things which are written therein
00:05:09.43\00:05:12.63
for the time is
at" what, everybody?
00:05:12.63\00:05:14.80
(Aud: Hand) Verse 4,
"John to the seven churches
00:05:14.80\00:05:17.80
which are in Asia:
Grace be unto you, and peace,
00:05:17.80\00:05:22.53
from him which is, and
which was, and which is to
00:05:22.53\00:05:25.33
come; and from the seven
Spirits which are before his
00:05:25.33\00:05:27.96
throne; and from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
00:05:27.96\00:05:30.83
and the first
begotten of the dead,
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.83
and the prince of
the kings of the earth.
00:05:32.83\00:05:34.83
Unto him that" what, everybody?
00:05:34.83\00:05:35.83
"Loved us, and" did what else?
00:05:35.83\00:05:36.83
"Washed us from our" what?
00:05:36.83\00:05:37.90
(Aud: Sins) "In his
own" what, everybody?
00:05:37.90\00:05:40.43
(Aud: Blood) All
right, so quickly review.
00:05:40.43\00:05:42.43
How did we get Revelation?
00:05:42.43\00:05:43.43
God gave
Revelation to whom, everybody?
00:05:43.43\00:05:45.43
Jesus.
00:05:45.43\00:05:46.43
Jesus gave it to-- (Aud:
Angel) The angel gave it to--
00:05:46.43\00:05:51.16
(Aud: John) John write it
down and gave it the seven what,
00:05:51.16\00:05:54.00
everybody?
00:05:54.00\00:05:55.00
Again, God gave
Revelation to whom?
00:05:55.00\00:05:57.00
Jesus Christ.
00:05:57.00\00:05:58.00
Jesus gave it to-- The
angel gave it to-- And John
00:05:58.00\00:06:02.13
wrote it down and
gave it to the seven what?
00:06:02.13\00:06:04.13
(Aud: Churches) The Word of God
says blessed is he that what?
00:06:04.13\00:06:07.10
Readeth and he that what?
00:06:07.10\00:06:08.33
(Aud: Hear) And he that what?
00:06:08.33\00:06:10.80
Keep the things in this book.
00:06:10.80\00:06:12.13
Which means then, Revelation
is more than just reading it.
00:06:12.13\00:06:14.93
Revelation is more
than just hearing it.
00:06:14.93\00:06:17.90
But Revelation
is also keeping it.
00:06:17.90\00:06:21.00
We must understand that God
has not called us just to be
00:06:21.00\00:06:24.40
hearers of the Word, but
we must be doers of the Word.
00:06:24.40\00:06:27.73
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:06:27.73\00:06:29.73
There are too many people that
want to live any old kind of
00:06:29.73\00:06:31.73
way.
00:06:31.73\00:06:32.73
They read the Word, they hear
the Word, but they don't want
00:06:32.73\00:06:34.73
to keep the Word.
00:06:34.73\00:06:35.73
They want to live any old kind
of way during the week and then
00:06:35.73\00:06:38.70
when they go to church they
want to pray for a crop failure.
00:06:38.70\00:06:41.60
But God has called us to read,
hear, and keep the things that
00:06:41.60\00:06:44.53
are written in the book.
00:06:44.53\00:06:45.63
Now, let's go on
just a little bit further.
00:06:45.63\00:06:48.20
Understand with that in mind,
because we must read, hear,
00:06:48.20\00:06:50.76
and keep the
things of Revelation,
00:06:50.76\00:06:52.76
Satan does not want us to read
it, Satan does not want us to
00:06:52.76\00:06:55.30
study it, Satan does not
want us to keep it, but forget
00:06:55.30\00:07:00.26
Satan, bump Satan,
Revelation is God's Word.
00:07:00.26\00:07:03.30
Now, we discovered last
night, quickly, go with me
00:07:03.30\00:07:05.46
to Revelation 17.
00:07:05.46\00:07:06.53
Revelation what, everybody?
00:07:06.53\00:07:07.60
Got to move quickly tonight.
00:07:07.60\00:07:10.70
Revelation 17:15.
00:07:10.70\00:07:11.93
Now, we discover in Bible
prophecy there are certain
00:07:11.93\00:07:17.53
symbols that
mean certain things.
00:07:17.53\00:07:20.63
Certain symbols
mean certain things.
00:07:20.63\00:07:23.70
Revelation 17:15.
00:07:23.70\00:07:25.80
The Word of God says: "And
he saith unto me, The waters--"
00:07:25.80\00:07:30.60
The what, everybody?
00:07:30.60\00:07:32.26
"Which thou sawest, where
the whore sitteth, are" what?
00:07:32.26\00:07:35.13
(Aud: People) "And multitudes,
and nations, and" what else,
00:07:35.13\00:07:37.96
everybody?
00:07:37.96\00:07:38.96
(Aud: Tongues) Now, understand,
in Bible prophecy, water means
00:07:38.96\00:07:42.23
what?
00:07:42.23\00:07:43.36
Come on, water
means what, everybody?
00:07:43.36\00:07:45.36
When we're talking about
Bible prophecy make sure that we
00:07:45.36\00:07:48.36
understand water
represents people.
00:07:48.36\00:07:51.70
So when we read
Revelation 17:14, he saith
00:07:51.70\00:07:54.46
unto me, the water
or the people which thou
00:07:54.46\00:07:57.40
sawest, where the whore
sitteth, and we're going to
00:07:57.40\00:07:59.83
talk about what a whore means,
are people, multitudes, nations
00:07:59.83\00:08:03.43
and tongues.
00:08:03.43\00:08:04.43
Go with me to
the book of Daniel.
00:08:04.43\00:08:06.43
What book did I say, everybody?
00:08:06.43\00:08:07.43
And go with me to Daniel,
Chapter 7 and we're going
00:08:07.43\00:08:14.16
to verse 23. Daniel 7:23.
00:08:14.16\00:08:22.13
The Word of God says: "Thus he
said, The fourth beast shall be
00:08:22.13\00:08:26.26
the fourth" what?
00:08:26.26\00:08:27.26
(Aud: Kingdom) "Upon the earth,
which shall be diverse from all
00:08:27.26\00:08:29.96
kingdoms, and shall
devour the whole earth,
00:08:29.96\00:08:32.40
and shall tread it
down, and break it in"
00:08:32.40\00:08:34.40
what, everybody?
00:08:34.40\00:08:35.40
(Aud: Pieces) The fourth
beast shall be a fourth what?
00:08:35.40\00:08:39.03
Kingdom.
00:08:39.03\00:08:40.03
Which means then when we
study Bible prophecy, a beast
00:08:40.03\00:08:42.63
represents a what?
00:08:42.63\00:08:43.80
(Aud: Kingdom) Now, we
also study from the Word of God
00:08:43.80\00:08:46.93
when we look at
Ezekiel, Chapter 4, verse 6.
00:08:46.93\00:08:50.56
In Bible prophecy a
day represents a what?
00:08:50.56\00:08:53.43
(Aud: Year) So, if we're clear
on this, all of these symbols,
00:08:53.43\00:08:57.16
and you should have
received your sheet,
00:08:57.16\00:08:59.16
all of these symbols
represent a literal meaning
00:08:59.16\00:09:02.86
for something.
00:09:02.86\00:09:03.86
We recognize water
represents what? People.
00:09:03.86\00:09:06.93
We recognize then that a
beast represents a kingdom.
00:09:06.93\00:09:10.90
We recognize a
day represents a what?
00:09:10.90\00:09:13.83
(Aud: Year) God
gave Revelation to Jesus.
00:09:13.83\00:09:16.26
Jesus gave Revelation to the--
(Aud: Angel) The angel gave
00:09:16.26\00:09:20.26
Revelation to-- (Aud:
John) John gave Revelation
00:09:20.26\00:09:22.80
to the seven what?
00:09:22.80\00:09:23.80
(Aud: Churches) God
said, blessed is he that what?
00:09:23.80\00:09:26.03
Readeth.
00:09:26.03\00:09:27.03
And then what?
00:09:27.03\00:09:28.03
Heareth.
00:09:28.03\00:09:29.03
And then what?
00:09:29.03\00:09:30.03
Keepeth the things
that are in this book.
00:09:30.03\00:09:32.03
The Word of God lets us
know a day represents a--
00:09:32.03\00:09:34.13
(Aud: Year) A
beast represents a--
00:09:34.13\00:09:36.26
(Aud: Kingdom)
And water represents--
00:09:36.26\00:09:38.43
(Aud: People)
Now we go on further.
00:09:38.43\00:09:45.00
The Bible prophesied
when Jesus would be born.
00:09:45.00\00:09:49.60
We read last night from Isaiah 7
00:09:49.60\00:09:51.60
where it was prophesied
that a virgin would conceive
00:09:51.60\00:09:54.26
and bear a son.
00:09:54.26\00:09:55.60
The fruition of that came in
Matthew, Chapter 1, verse 23.
00:09:55.60\00:09:58.83
We study when
Jesus would be baptized.
00:09:58.83\00:10:02.66
It was prophesied
when he would be baptized.
00:10:02.66\00:10:05.20
It was prophesied
when Jesus would die.
00:10:05.20\00:10:07.86
It was prophesied
when the Gospel message
00:10:07.86\00:10:10.03
would not just be
taken to the Jews, but to
00:10:10.03\00:10:12.03
the entire world.
00:10:12.03\00:10:13.40
We studied that last
night from Daniel, Chapter 9,
00:10:13.40\00:10:16.00
in what is known as
the 70-week prophesy.
00:10:16.00\00:10:18.90
We recognize there are
how many days in a week?
00:10:18.90\00:10:22.13
Seven.
00:10:23.36\00:10:24.36
So we're talking about 70-week
prophecy, 70 weeks, there are
00:10:24.36\00:10:27.16
seven days in a week, 70
times 7 is what, everybody?
00:10:27.16\00:10:31.20
490 days.
00:10:31.20\00:10:32.93
But because it's a day for
a year, we recognize it is 490
00:10:32.93\00:10:36.73
what, everybody?
00:10:36.73\00:10:38.00
It is 490 years.
00:10:38.00\00:10:39.86
We studied that.
00:10:39.86\00:10:40.96
The Bible also prophesied by
telling us of the signs that we
00:10:40.96\00:10:45.26
would see and experience
just before Jesus returns.
00:10:45.26\00:10:48.43
Take your Bible and go
to the book of Matthew.
00:10:48.43\00:10:50.43
What book, everybody?
00:10:50.43\00:10:51.43
Come on, we've
got to move quick.
00:10:51.43\00:10:54.06
Matthew, Chapter 24, and we
discover the signs that will
00:10:54.06\00:10:58.30
take place on this
earth just before Jesus comes.
00:10:58.30\00:11:02.30
The Word of God
says in Matthew 24:3.
00:11:02.30\00:11:05.80
If you have it, let
me hear you say Amen.
00:11:05.80\00:11:10.33
The Word says: "And as he
sat upon the mount of Olives,
00:11:10.33\00:11:13.06
the disciples
came unto him" how?
00:11:13.06\00:11:15.46
(Aud: Privately)
"Saying, Tell us, when shall
00:11:15.46\00:11:17.60
these things be?
00:11:17.60\00:11:18.60
And what shall be
the sign of thy coming,
00:11:18.60\00:11:20.60
and of the end of the world?
00:11:20.60\00:11:22.60
And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that
00:11:22.60\00:11:24.76
no man" do what, everybody?
00:11:24.76\00:11:26.76
Come on, take heed
that no man what, everybody?
00:11:26.76\00:11:28.76
(Aud: Deceive you) That's
why you come here to the revival
00:11:28.76\00:11:30.76
and everything we preach,
everything we teach must come
00:11:30.76\00:11:33.60
straight from the Word of God.
00:11:33.60\00:11:35.60
Not my opinion,
not your opinion,
00:11:35.60\00:11:37.70
but let the Word of
God speak for itself.
00:11:37.70\00:11:40.73
Going on. Verse 5:
"For many shall come
00:11:40.73\00:11:42.90
in my name, saying, I am" what?
00:11:42.90\00:11:44.80
(Aud: Christ) "And shall
deceive" what, everybody?
00:11:44.80\00:11:47.03
(Aud: Many) Understand,
if somebody's walking up
00:11:47.03\00:11:49.03
and down Huntsville,
walking up and down Madison,
00:11:49.03\00:11:51.03
talking about their Jesus
Christ, you know that's a lie
00:11:51.03\00:11:53.26
from the pits of hell.
00:11:53.26\00:11:54.53
Many will come trying to
say they are Jesus Christ.
00:11:54.53\00:11:57.30
Let me be clear, I'm not Jesus,
but I'm trying to be like him.
00:11:57.30\00:12:00.53
Come on, say Amen.
00:12:00.53\00:12:01.80
Verse 6: "And ye shall hear
of wars and rumors of" what?
00:12:01.80\00:12:04.40
(Aud: Wars) "See that ye be not
troubled: for all these things
00:12:04.40\00:12:07.36
must come to" what?
00:12:07.36\00:12:08.36
(Aud: Pass) "But
the end is not" what?
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.50
(Aud: Yet) "For nation
shall rise against" what?
00:12:10.50\00:12:12.60
(Aud: Nation)
"Kingdom against" what?
00:12:12.60\00:12:14.80
(Aud: Kingdom) "There shall
be famines, and pestilences,
00:12:14.80\00:12:16.80
and earthquakes,
in divers places.
00:12:16.80\00:12:18.80
All these are the
beginning of" what, everybody?
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.80
(Aud: Sorrows) Verse 9:
"Then shall they deliver you
00:12:20.80\00:12:22.80
up to be
afflicted, and shall kill you:
00:12:22.80\00:12:24.80
and ye shall be hated of
all nations for my name's sake."
00:12:24.80\00:12:26.80
Verse 10: "And then
shall many be" what?
00:12:26.80\00:12:29.20
(Aud: Offended) Many
shall be what, everybody?
00:12:29.20\00:12:32.13
I recognize when you preach
the Word of God and it cuts
00:12:32.13\00:12:34.73
at folks, because folks
just want to come to church
00:12:34.73\00:12:36.73
and feel good.
00:12:36.73\00:12:39.43
And I recognizing this
walk, when you have to call sin
00:12:39.43\00:12:42.43
by its right name.
00:12:42.43\00:12:43.83
When you have to
cry aloud and spare not,
00:12:43.83\00:12:46.20
folk get offended,
but that's all right.
00:12:46.20\00:12:48.40
I've been lied on,
I've been cheated on,
00:12:48.40\00:12:53.00
I've been mistreated,
I've been up, I've been down,
00:12:53.00\00:12:56.90
I've been almost to the
ground, but somebody knows,
00:12:56.90\00:13:01.23
as long as I've got King Jesus,
I don't need anybody else.
00:13:01.23\00:13:06.30
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:13:06.30\00:13:08.30
"Then shall many be offended,
and shall betray one another,
00:13:08.30\00:13:10.30
and shall hate one another.
00:13:10.30\00:13:12.80
And many false
prophets shall rise, and shall
00:13:12.80\00:13:15.56
deceive many.
00:13:15.56\00:13:16.56
And because
iniquity," which is sin,
00:13:16.56\00:13:18.56
"shall abound," sin
abound, "the love of many
00:13:18.56\00:13:21.73
shall wax cold.
00:13:21.73\00:13:22.73
But he that shall
endure unto the end,"
00:13:22.73\00:13:26.90
thank you, Jesus,
"the same shall be saved.
00:13:26.90\00:13:29.80
And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all
00:13:29.80\00:13:33.60
the world for a
witness unto all nations;
00:13:33.60\00:13:37.00
and then shall the end come."
00:13:37.00\00:13:39.56
That's why we've got to preach
what the Word of God says,
00:13:39.56\00:13:42.83
we've got to call it like
it is, and let the chips fall
00:13:42.83\00:13:46.53
where they may.
00:13:46.53\00:13:47.76
If I'm going to be
wrong, tell me I'm wrong now.
00:13:47.76\00:13:51.86
But I don't want to
get up the pearly gates
00:13:51.86\00:13:53.90
thinking I'm
right and I'm wrong.
00:13:53.90\00:13:56.20
Tell me what the
Word of God says.
00:13:56.20\00:13:58.50
Thy Word have I hid in my
heart that I might not sin
00:13:58.50\00:14:02.46
against thee.
00:14:02.46\00:14:04.66
Now, in our world today
you hear a lot about fighting
00:14:04.66\00:14:07.73
and wars.
00:14:07.73\00:14:09.16
This is clearly
signs of the end,
00:14:09.16\00:14:11.36
and it's not
going to get better.
00:14:11.36\00:14:13.40
Listen to me carefully.
00:14:13.40\00:14:14.40
It's going to get worse.
00:14:14.40\00:14:16.73
Understand that more wars
have been fought and more blood
00:14:16.73\00:14:22.60
has been shed in
the name of religion
00:14:22.60\00:14:25.26
than any other cause.
00:14:25.26\00:14:26.70
More blood shed, more
wars have been fought,
00:14:26.70\00:14:34.20
all because it's tied
into something religious.
00:14:34.20\00:14:37.26
That's why there's a difference
between being religious
00:14:37.26\00:14:39.43
and spiritual.
00:14:39.43\00:14:40.43
(Aud: Ah) There are some
people that are religious,
00:14:40.43\00:14:44.00
but they're not spiritual.
00:14:44.00\00:14:45.03
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:14:45.03\00:14:47.16
Everybody talking
about heaven, ain't going.
00:14:47.16\00:14:50.00
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:14:50.00\00:14:52.00
There's a difference
between being religious
00:14:52.00\00:14:54.00
and being spiritual.
00:14:54.00\00:14:55.00
All these wars that we
see today have been fought
00:14:55.00\00:14:58.50
with a religious foundation.
00:14:58.50\00:15:00.33
You don't believe me.
00:15:00.33\00:15:01.56
Four thousand years of fighting
have taken place between
00:15:01.56\00:15:04.83
Iran and Iraq, all
rooted in religion.
00:15:04.83\00:15:08.93
Because Abraham, the
father of many nations,
00:15:08.93\00:15:12.30
he laid with Hagar, his
handmaid, his concubine,
00:15:12.30\00:15:16.23
instead of having faith
and trust in God, he lay
00:15:16.23\00:15:19.50
with her, had a son,
Ishmael, then God did bless him,
00:15:19.50\00:15:23.03
because you've got
to understand, with God
00:15:23.03\00:15:25.03
he may not come when
you want him, but he's
00:15:25.03\00:15:27.36
right on time.
00:15:27.36\00:15:28.36
He went on and lay with
Sarah, had another child, Isaac,
00:15:28.36\00:15:32.20
and Isaac and
Ishmael have been fighting
00:15:32.20\00:15:35.50
ever since.
00:15:35.50\00:15:38.63
All rooted in religion.
00:15:38.63\00:15:40.23
But we can go a step further.
00:15:40.23\00:15:41.96
Syria.
00:15:41.96\00:15:43.96
Still fighting.
00:15:43.96\00:15:45.26
We can go a step further.
00:15:45.26\00:15:46.60
Africa.
00:15:46.60\00:15:47.60
The motherland.
00:15:47.60\00:15:48.60
In Rwanda, fighting between
the Shiites and the Sunni.
00:15:48.60\00:15:53.53
All religious.
00:15:53.53\00:15:54.56
And even now, the
threat of North Korea.
00:15:54.56\00:15:57.13
It will not end.
00:15:57.13\00:15:59.90
That's why when Jesus says wars
and rumor of wars, when he says
00:15:59.90\00:16:03.73
nation against nation,
if you don't believe it,
00:16:03.73\00:16:06.80
friends of mine,
you better understand
00:16:06.80\00:16:08.80
Jesus is soon to come.
00:16:08.80\00:16:10.26
You've got to
stop playing church,
00:16:10.26\00:16:12.40
stop playing with this thing.
00:16:12.40\00:16:14.30
Make sure that you
all is on the alter
00:16:14.30\00:16:16.63
with Jesus Christ.
00:16:16.63\00:16:17.76
All of this fighting is
supposedly to rid the world
00:16:17.76\00:16:21.66
of evil men and
make room for peace.
00:16:21.66\00:16:25.56
And for some
folk, influential folk,
00:16:25.56\00:16:28.10
I might add, their
solution for peace, listen to me
00:16:28.10\00:16:33.53
carefully, is what you've
heard as a new world order.
00:16:33.53\00:16:37.06
And I tell you, I
don't preach cotton candy.
00:16:37.06\00:16:40.93
We're going to
give it to you straight.
00:16:40.93\00:16:42.93
There is a desire in this
world for a new world order.
00:16:42.93\00:16:48.33
Because with a new world
order they think that will bring
00:16:48.33\00:16:50.50
about peace.
00:16:50.50\00:16:51.63
With this new world
order they want to make
00:16:51.63\00:16:54.23
one authoritarian government,
because they think it
00:16:54.23\00:16:57.50
will be peace.
00:16:57.50\00:16:58.53
But somewhere I read
in 1 Thessalonians 5:3,
00:16:58.53\00:17:02.83
that when you hear
the world peace and safety
00:17:02.83\00:17:06.53
you better be careful
for sudden destruction.
00:17:06.53\00:17:09.40
But many people want to create
a utopia where they feel it
00:17:09.40\00:17:14.30
will bring about peace.
00:17:14.30\00:17:15.93
So you hear about all this
new world order and rumored
00:17:15.93\00:17:20.46
rumblings of this coming
into fruition with the signing
00:17:20.46\00:17:23.56
of the North
American Free Trade Agreement.
00:17:23.56\00:17:27.26
Where the United States,
Canada, Mexico, they have
00:17:27.26\00:17:32.76
lessened all of the
rhetoric relative to trade.
00:17:32.76\00:17:38.43
You hear rumored rumblings
about this new world order
00:17:38.43\00:17:43.50
when people start
talking about a unified
00:17:43.50\00:17:46.43
monetary currency.
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.83
When there in Europe you can
go now from country to country
00:17:48.83\00:17:53.06
and there's a
same or similar form
00:17:53.06\00:17:55.16
of currency known as the Euro.
00:17:55.16\00:17:57.96
But don't think we're too
far behind in North America,
00:17:57.96\00:18:00.83
because in case you didn't know,
00:18:00.83\00:18:02.83
there are rumblings
and discussions relative to
00:18:02.83\00:18:05.16
an Amero.
00:18:05.16\00:18:06.23
An Amero is a
unified form of currency
00:18:06.23\00:18:09.20
that would take place between
the United States, Canada
00:18:09.20\00:18:12.56
and Mexico.
00:18:12.56\00:18:13.73
But will there, the
question is asked, will there
00:18:13.73\00:18:17.80
ever be one kingdom?
00:18:17.80\00:18:20.00
Will there ever be one
authoritarian government
00:18:20.00\00:18:23.73
on earth?
00:18:23.73\00:18:24.73
Now, you need to understand.
00:18:24.73\00:18:26.43
History always says there's
nothing new under the sun.
00:18:26.43\00:18:30.73
So when you talk about
will there be one government
00:18:30.73\00:18:33.30
order?
00:18:33.30\00:18:34.30
Will there be one
unified, new world order?
00:18:34.30\00:18:37.03
One authoritarian government?
00:18:37.03\00:18:39.10
History has a way
of repeating itself.
00:18:39.10\00:18:41.60
The great statesman,
Winston Churchill, said,
00:18:41.60\00:18:43.80
the further backward you
can look, the further forward
00:18:43.80\00:18:47.00
you can see. Now, it
was in Daniel, Chapter 2
00:18:47.00\00:18:54.53
where the king at the time,
Nebuchadnezzar, had a dream.
00:18:54.53\00:18:59.56
He had a dream that
he couldn't understand.
00:18:59.56\00:19:03.13
And so because he couldn't
understand this dream, he said,
00:19:03.13\00:19:06.20
let me call for all of the
wise men in the land, all of the
00:19:06.20\00:19:11.03
astrologers in the land,
and let them come tell me
00:19:11.03\00:19:14.60
what this dream is about.
00:19:14.60\00:19:15.63
Now, don't forget,
we're talking about just one,
00:19:15.63\00:19:17.63
unified government.
00:19:17.63\00:19:19.00
He said, let them come tell
me what this dream is about.
00:19:19.00\00:19:23.33
So, think of all
these astrologers,
00:19:23.33\00:19:25.33
all these wise
men, all these magicians
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.76
and they cannot tell him
what this dream is all about.
00:19:27.76\00:19:33.30
He then says, if you can't
tell me what this dream is all
00:19:33.30\00:19:36.00
about, I'm going to kill you.
00:19:36.00\00:19:37.56
So they get scared.
00:19:37.56\00:19:39.30
So somebody goes and
finds the man of God.
00:19:39.30\00:19:43.93
Somebody goes and
finds brother Daniel.
00:19:43.93\00:19:47.83
Brother Daniel,
read it in Chapter 2,
00:19:47.83\00:19:49.83
don't have time
to read it tonight.
00:19:49.83\00:19:51.83
But in Daniel, Chapter 2,
Daniel goes to him and says,
00:19:51.83\00:19:54.80
listen, just give me some time
and I will be able to interpret
00:19:54.80\00:19:59.90
the dream that you saw,
and with that you won't have to
00:19:59.90\00:20:04.13
kill anyone.
00:20:04.13\00:20:05.36
Sure enough,
Nebuchadnezzar grants his wish.
00:20:05.36\00:20:07.70
Nebuchadnezzar says,
all right, got some time.
00:20:07.70\00:20:10.40
Next day, Daniel comes.
00:20:10.40\00:20:11.93
He comes to
brother Nebuchadnezzar
00:20:11.93\00:20:14.10
and he says, brother
Nebuchadnezzar, last night
00:20:14.10\00:20:16.56
I had a dream and in the
dream I had, God revealed to me
00:20:16.56\00:20:22.00
what he told you in your dream.
00:20:22.00\00:20:24.70
That's just like
God, always right on time.
00:20:24.70\00:20:27.76
God revealed to Daniel
to reveal to Nebuchadnezzar
00:20:27.76\00:20:30.86
what took in his dream,
which brings us here tonight.
00:20:30.86\00:20:34.73
Daniel, Chapter 2, verse 31.
00:20:34.73\00:20:36.66
Go there quickly.
00:20:36.66\00:20:38.16
The Word of God, this
is the interpretation of
00:20:38.16\00:20:40.50
the dream, Daniel
2:31: "Thou, O king,
00:20:40.50\00:20:46.70
sawest, and behold a
great" what, everybody?
00:20:46.70\00:20:50.36
Come on, a great what?
00:20:50.36\00:20:51.36
(Aud: Image) "This great image,
whose brightness was excellent,
00:20:51.36\00:20:54.10
stood before thee; and the
form thereof was terrible."
00:20:54.10\00:20:56.50
Verse 32: "The image's head was
00:20:56.50\00:20:59.50
of fine" what?
00:20:59.50\00:21:01.16
Come on, head of fine what?
00:21:01.16\00:21:02.60
(Aud: Gold) "His
breast and his arms of" what?
00:21:02.60\00:21:05.13
(Aud: Silver) "His
belly, and his thighs of" what?
00:21:05.13\00:21:07.63
(Aud: Brass) "His legs of" what?
00:21:07.63\00:21:10.16
(Aud: Iron) His feet
part of iron and part of what?
00:21:10.16\00:21:12.76
(Aud: Clay) Now, let's
visualize what we just read.
00:21:12.76\00:21:15.06
Nebuchadnezzar has a dream.
00:21:15.06\00:21:20.06
He sees an image.
00:21:20.06\00:21:22.36
The image is a grand
image and the image is the head
00:21:22.36\00:21:27.50
of what?
00:21:27.50\00:21:28.86
Come on, the head of what?
00:21:28.86\00:21:30.60
Gold.
00:21:30.60\00:21:31.60
The chest is a chest of what?
00:21:31.60\00:21:33.03
(Aud: Silver) The
hips are hips of what?
00:21:33.03\00:21:36.86
(Aud: Brass) The
legs are legs of what?
00:21:36.86\00:21:40.20
They're legs of what, everybody?
00:21:40.20\00:21:42.20
They are legs of iron.
00:21:42.20\00:21:43.76
Then we go on and
we recognize the feet.
00:21:43.76\00:21:46.66
The toes, they are a mixture
of part iron and part what,
00:21:46.66\00:21:50.00
everybody?
00:21:50.00\00:21:51.00
(Aud: Clay) Go to verse 34:
"Thou sawest till that a stone
00:21:51.00\00:21:55.50
was cut out without hands,"
which means without hands,
00:21:55.50\00:22:00.80
I wish I had time,
we're talking about
00:22:00.80\00:22:02.80
a superhuman, supernatural being
00:22:02.80\00:22:08.03
without hands.
00:22:08.03\00:22:10.83
"Which smote the image upon
his feet that were of iron and"
00:22:10.83\00:22:14.73
what?
00:22:14.73\00:22:15.73
(Aud: Clay)
"Break them to" what?
00:22:15.73\00:22:18.13
(Aud: Pieces) Then was
the iron, the clay, the brass,
00:22:18.13\00:22:20.66
the silver, and the
gold, broken to pieces
00:22:20.66\00:22:23.06
together, and became
like the chaff of the summer
00:22:23.06\00:22:25.70
threshingfloors; and the
wind carried them away, that no
00:22:25.70\00:22:29.43
place was found for
them: and the stone that smote
00:22:29.43\00:22:32.93
the image became a
great" what, everybody?
00:22:32.93\00:22:35.83
Come on, became a
great what, everybody?
00:22:35.83\00:22:37.83
(Aud: Mountain)
And filled the what?
00:22:37.83\00:22:40.73
Filled the whole earth.
00:22:40.73\00:22:41.73
Stop here.
00:22:41.73\00:22:42.73
Nebuchadnezzar has this dream.
00:22:42.73\00:22:43.73
Nobody can interpret it.
00:22:43.73\00:22:45.33
They call for Daniel.
00:22:45.33\00:22:46.86
Daniel goes to sleep that night.
00:22:46.86\00:22:49.10
God gives Daniel
what Nebuchadnezzar saw.
00:22:49.10\00:22:51.73
Daniel goes to Nebuchadnezzar.
00:22:51.73\00:22:53.23
No need to kill anybody, King.
00:22:53.23\00:22:55.50
I can tell you what you saw.
00:22:55.50\00:22:57.43
You saw an image,
the head was of what?
00:22:57.43\00:23:02.30
Come on, the head was of what?
00:23:02.30\00:23:03.50
(Aud: Gold) The
chest was of what?
00:23:03.50\00:23:05.50
(Aud: Silver) The
waist was of what?
00:23:05.50\00:23:08.56
(Aud: Brass) The
legs were of what?
00:23:08.56\00:23:10.76
(Aud: Iron) The
feet were part what?
00:23:10.76\00:23:12.93
(Aud: Iron) And part what?
00:23:12.93\00:23:14.46
(Aud: Clay) A stone came, hit
this image, and when the stone
00:23:14.46\00:23:21.40
hits this image, the
entire image crumbles away.
00:23:21.40\00:23:27.10
Let's read some more.
00:23:27.10\00:23:28.20
Verse 36. "This is the
dream; and we will tell
00:23:28.20\00:23:33.76
the interpretation thereof
before the king." Verse 37:
00:23:33.76\00:23:37.70
"Thou, O king,
are a king of" what?
00:23:37.70\00:23:40.53
(Aud: Kings) "For the
God of heaven hath given thee
00:23:40.53\00:23:42.53
a" what?
00:23:42.53\00:23:43.53
(Aud: Kingdom) Power and what?
00:23:43.53\00:23:44.90
And what else, everybody?
00:23:44.90\00:23:45.93
(Strength and glory) Now
here's Nebuchadnezzar, you know,
00:23:45.93\00:23:48.30
he's the king and so
Daniel is going to tell him
00:23:48.30\00:23:51.20
the interpretation,
but he has to soften him up
00:23:51.20\00:23:53.70
and tell him how great he is.
00:23:53.70\00:23:55.66
Verse 38: "And wheresoever
the children of men swell,
00:23:55.66\00:23:58.00
the beasts of the field
and the fowls of the heaven
00:23:58.00\00:24:00.06
hath he given into thine
hand, and hath made thee ruler
00:24:00.06\00:24:03.46
over them all."
00:24:03.46\00:24:05.83
He says, "Thou art this
head of" what, everybody?
00:24:05.83\00:24:09.03
(Aud: Gold) "And after
thee shall arise another" what?
00:24:09.03\00:24:13.36
(Aud: Kingdom) So he's telling
Nebuchadnezzar, you're the head
00:24:13.36\00:24:16.03
of gold.
00:24:16.03\00:24:17.43
After you there will
arise another kingdom.
00:24:17.43\00:24:20.46
But the Word says this kingdom
will be inferior to thee.
00:24:20.46\00:24:24.10
And then another third kingdom
of brass, which shall bear rule
00:24:24.10\00:24:30.46
over all the earth.
00:24:30.46\00:24:31.46
So, here,
understand what's going on.
00:24:31.46\00:24:33.46
He's telling him this first
kingdom, head of gold, is you.
00:24:33.46\00:24:37.56
Then there will come another
kingdom after you that is
00:24:37.56\00:24:40.86
inferior to you, which makes
sense now because it's saying
00:24:40.86\00:24:43.73
head and we're moving to chest
and we're now talking about
00:24:43.73\00:24:46.33
a chest of silver, and
silver is inferior to gold.
00:24:46.33\00:24:50.23
Are you staying with me?
00:24:50.23\00:24:51.23
Then he says, a third kingdom
which is inferior which is
00:24:51.23\00:24:56.40
of brass, which makes
sense now because we had first
00:24:56.40\00:24:59.13
said head of what?
00:24:59.13\00:25:00.20
Gold.
00:25:00.20\00:25:01.20
We said chest of what?
00:25:01.20\00:25:02.20
Silver.
00:25:02.20\00:25:03.20
And then we said now a what?
00:25:03.20\00:25:04.26
Waist of what?
00:25:04.26\00:25:05.26
(Aud: Brass) Which
means there's another kingdom.
00:25:05.26\00:25:07.26
So we're
recognizing there are kingdoms
00:25:07.26\00:25:09.26
that represent
these different metals.
00:25:09.26\00:25:12.10
The Word goes on, which
shall bear and rule over
00:25:12.10\00:25:14.26
all the earth.
00:25:14.26\00:25:15.26
And the fourth kingdom
shall be as strong as iron,
00:25:15.26\00:25:18.53
representing those legs.
00:25:18.53\00:25:19.86
"Forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth
00:25:19.86\00:25:21.96
all things: and
as iron that breaketh
00:25:21.96\00:25:23.96
all these, shall it
break in pieces and bruise.
00:25:23.96\00:25:26.80
And whereas thou
sawest the feet and toes,
00:25:26.80\00:25:29.23
part of potters' clay,
and part of iron, the kingdom
00:25:29.23\00:25:31.66
shall be divided;
but there shall be
00:25:31.66\00:25:33.66
in it of the strength
of the iron, forasmuch, as
00:25:33.66\00:25:36.13
thou sawest the iron
mixed with miry" what?
00:25:36.13\00:25:40.30
(Aud: Clay) "And as the toes
of the feet were part of iron,
00:25:40.30\00:25:43.23
and part of clay, so
the kingdom shall be partly
00:25:43.23\00:25:46.10
strong, and partly" what?
00:25:46.10\00:25:49.50
(Aud: Broken) Which
means part strong, part weak.
00:25:49.50\00:25:52.16

Adam and Eve were surprised.
00:27:03.56\00:27:05.13
The deceitful
serpent and the Pharisees
00:27:05.13\00:27:07.16
