Sermon #B690 - The
Third Angel's Message
00:00:07.04\00:00:20.85
Dr. Byrd: We want to get right
in the word of God as we
culminate our three-part series
00:00:20.88\00:00:25.49
on the three angels messages of
Revelation 14. So, I am going to
invite you to take your Bibles
00:00:25.52\00:00:31.33
and turn with me to the Book of
Revelation. Let us go Chapter 14
00:00:31.36\00:00:35.86
and we are going to read verses
9, 10, 11, and 12. Revelation
00:00:35.90\00:00:49.51
Chapter 14:9-12. The word of God
is clear to us and it says, "And
the third angel followed them
00:00:49.54\00:00:57.32
saying with a loud voice, if any
man worship the beast and his
image and received his mark in
00:00:57.35\00:01:03.89
his forehead or in his hand, the
same should drink in the wine of
00:01:03.93\00:01:06.19
the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into
the cup of his indignation and
00:01:06.23\00:01:11.37
he shall be tormented with fire
and brimstone in the presence of
the holy angels and in the
00:01:11.40\00:01:17.07
presence of the lamb. And the
smoke of their torment ascended
up forever and ever
00:01:17.11\00:01:19.71
and they have no rest day nor
night who worship the beast and
00:01:19.74\00:01:26.65
his image, and whosoever
received the mark of his name."
But here is a good news,
00:01:26.68\00:01:32.02
here is the patience of the
Saints. Here are they that keep
the commandments of God
00:01:32.05\00:01:40.43
and have the faith of
Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
00:01:40.46\00:01:47.37
Father in heaven, right now come
now and speak, speak in this
00:01:47.40\00:01:53.34
sanctuary and Lord speak over
the television and the internet
airwaves and may your Holy
00:01:53.38\00:02:01.42
Spirit, Oh God, convict and
convert your people. Now God,
this is not an easy message, not
00:02:01.45\00:02:06.49
a palatable message, not a
feel-good message, but it is
your message that you have for
00:02:06.52\00:02:11.49
your people today. Speak through
these lips of clay, forgive me
of my sins, Lord. Hide me behind
00:02:11.53\00:02:16.43
your cross. May your people see
Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ
crucified and when the appeal
00:02:16.46\00:02:23.54
time comes Lord, I am asking
again that you in copious
fashion that you would move
00:02:23.57\00:02:32.91
among your people that they
might make decisions for thee
and pray this prayer.
00:02:32.95\00:02:35.95
We ask these things in the name
that is above all other names,
00:02:35.98\00:02:41.26
in the name of the one who has
made all of this possible today,
in the name of Jesus we pray,
00:02:41.29\00:02:53.94
amen. The third Angel's message
begins with the word "If". It
begins with this word "If",
00:02:53.97\00:03:07.75
If any man worship the beast and
his image and received his mark
in his forehead or in his hand.
00:03:07.78\00:03:18.09
If then the same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of
fornication, of God,
00:03:18.13\00:03:22.66
which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his
indignation and he shall be
00:03:22.70\00:03:29.94
tormented with fire and
brimstone in the presence of the
holy angels and in the presence
00:03:29.97\00:03:35.11
of the lamb, and the smoke
of their torment ascended up
00:03:35.14\00:03:40.12
forever and ever and they have
no rest day nor night who
worship the beast and his image
00:03:40.15\00:03:43.79
and whosoever receiveth the mark
of his name. This message begins
00:03:43.82\00:03:54.76
with the word "if" and the
word "if" here is significant
00:03:54.83\00:03:57.63
because "if" is a conjunction
that suggest something is based
on the condition of something
00:03:57.67\00:04:07.11
else. In other words, if you do
something then something else is
00:04:07.14\00:04:13.01
going to happen. If you do
something good then something
00:04:13.05\00:04:17.45
good will happen, if you do
something bad then something bad
00:04:17.49\00:04:22.12
will happen. This conditional
promise underscores the
principle of seed time and
00:04:22.16\00:04:29.70
harvest. In other words, you
reap what you sow and your
harvest will testify to what
00:04:29.73\00:04:38.74
your sowing has been. The Bible
makes it clear, if my people who
are called by my name.
00:04:38.77\00:04:44.41
that word "if", if my people
who are called by my name would
00:04:44.45\00:04:48.92
humble themselves and pray, turn
from their wicked ways, then he
says I would hear from heaven
00:04:48.95\00:04:57.46
and heal their land. If you have
faith, that word "if" the size
of a mustard seed then God will
00:04:57.49\00:05:05.77
move mountains. If the son sets
you free, then you shall be free
indeed. if I be lifted up, I
00:05:05.80\00:05:18.21
will draw all men unto me. If
you confess with your mouth and
believe in your heart that the
00:05:18.25\00:05:26.29
Lord Jesus God raised you from
the dead you will be saved.
Notice these "if" statements are
00:05:26.32\00:05:37.00
promises from God, but they are
all conditional. If you do
something good something good
00:05:37.03\00:05:44.51
will happen, If you do something
bad something bad will happen.
The third angel gives us a
00:05:44.54\00:05:53.58
warning message and this warning
message begins with the word
"if", suggesting a condition.
00:05:53.62\00:06:01.32
But this warning is clear that
if you do something bad then
something bad is going to happen
00:06:01.36\00:06:07.66
to you. If you worship
specifically the beast and his
image, then you will receive his
00:06:07.66\00:06:14.10
mark in your forehead or his
mark in your hand. You will then
drink the wine of the wrath of
00:06:14.14\00:06:23.31
God and you are going to be
tormented with fire and
brimstone. Now, notice the first
00:06:23.35\00:06:32.62
angel's message and the third
angel's message both center
around the issue of worship. The
00:06:32.65\00:06:38.43
first angel challenges us and
urges us to worship God. The
third angel's message tells us
00:06:38.46\00:06:46.90
not to worship the beast. The
demand then to worship the beast
and receive his mark in
00:06:46.94\00:06:54.41
Revelation 13 counteracts the
command to worship the one who
made the heavens, the earth, and
00:06:54.44\00:07:02.42
the sea, and fountains of waters
in Revelation 14:7. So then, the
worship of the beast and
00:07:02.45\00:07:10.69
reception of his mark stands in
opposition to the worship of God
and the keeping of his
00:07:10.73\00:07:12.63
commandments. Now, I need to let
you know today, today I am
coming strong. There is no play
00:07:12.66\00:07:20.67
preaching today. I do not have
time for just sound bites and
nice clichés and quotes. I am
00:07:20.70\00:07:25.77
coming straight down the middle
today. Are you hearing what I am
00:07:25.81\00:07:27.38
saying everybody? Who is the
beast? Let us go to Revelation
13 and let us look at verse
00:07:27.41\00:07:33.88
number 18. In Revelation 13:18,
the Bible is clear, it says and
tells us who the beast is. Here
00:07:33.92\00:07:42.76
is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number
of the beast: for it is the
00:07:42.79\00:07:47.96
number of a man; and his number
is six hundred threescore and
00:07:47.96\00:07:54.17
six. The Bible is telling us
that the number of the beast is
six hundred threescore and six.
00:07:54.20\00:08:01.24
We know when we study Bible
prophecy that a score represents
00:08:01.28\00:08:06.55
the number twenty, so when we
say threescore we are then
saying three times twenty, which
00:08:06.58\00:08:16.83
is sixty, six hundred sixty six.
The number of the beast is the
number of a man and it is six
00:08:16.86\00:08:25.53
hundred and six six six. Now,
remember last week, when we
studied angel number two. I told
00:08:25.57\00:08:33.94
you that the mother church of
our world, the mother church
universal is the Roman Catholic
00:08:33.98\00:08:39.71
Church. Let me say that again, I
told you last week that the
mother church, the universal
00:08:39.75\00:08:47.09
mother church is the Roman
Catholic Church. It also sees
itself as the mother church and
00:08:47.12\00:08:55.66
I share with you that the Roman
Catholic Church bases this on
Matthew 16:18, where Jesus
00:08:55.70\00:09:06.98
himself speaking is saying all
upon this rock, I will build my
church. From this text, Roman
00:09:07.01\00:09:16.12
Catholics believe that Jesus was
saying he is building his church
on Peter Petrus which meant
00:09:16.15\00:09:18.72
rock. But they got it wrong
because Jesus was not saying
that he was going to build his
00:09:18.75\00:09:22.56
church on Peter but Jesus was in
essence saying I am going to
build my church on the rock,
00:09:22.59\00:09:28.16
Christ Jesus. I am building the
church upon myself, on Christ
the solid rock I stand, all
00:09:28.20\00:09:35.64
other ground is sinking sand.
But from this text Roman
Catholics believe that Peter was
00:09:35.67\00:09:43.04
the first pope and if you study
their history, they see
themselves as an extension of
00:09:43.08\00:09:47.08
the New Testament Church, and
that Peter true enough was the
first pope. So with that
00:09:47.12\00:09:53.15
I am not here to dog out
Catholics. I get no glory in
dogging someone else out.
00:09:53.19\00:09:59.53
I learned a long time ago, you
do not maximize yourself by
minimizing somebody else.
00:09:59.56\00:10:05.37
This sermon is not an attack
against the Pope. It is not an
attack on the Roman Catholic
00:10:05.40\00:10:13.01
Church or Christians. I want you
to know that many loving
individuals are Roman Catholic
00:10:13.04\00:10:20.52
Christian people. Today, I am
dealing with a religious system.
A religious system that the
00:10:20.55\00:10:30.23
Bible says will soon oppose God.
I am today just giving you
straight gospel truth today and
00:10:30.26\00:10:36.46
you shall know the truth and the
truth shall set you free. I
recognize that not everybody
00:10:36.50\00:10:42.04
wants to preach this because
this is not a popular subject.
When you are dealing with
00:10:42.07\00:10:48.28
attacking religious systems, but
I have got to do what the Lord
has told me to do and in the
00:10:48.31\00:10:54.75
last and evil days in which we
live, The Bible says that God
said his people perish not for
00:10:54.78\00:10:59.62
bread and water but they perish
for a lack of knowledge. So we
must teach and preach what does
00:10:59.65\00:11:06.43
said by the Lord. This sermon is
attack on Satan, for the liar
that he is. The beast is a
00:11:06.46\00:11:12.73
symbol of the papacy. The mark
of the beast will be some act
that the papacy is recognized
00:11:12.77\00:11:17.74
for. So Pastor Byrd, what is
this act? Put a little bookmark
in Revelation 13 and 14
00:11:17.77\00:11:23.61
and take your Bibles and go with
me to the Book of Daniel Chapter
00:11:23.65\00:11:27.75
7, and we want to go to Daniel
Chapter 7 and we want to go to
00:11:27.78\00:11:31.99
verse number 25. Daniel Chapter
7:25, remember Revelation is the
New Testament prophetic book.
00:11:32.02\00:11:37.66
Daniel is the Old Testament
prophetic book. Daniel Chapter
7, and we are going to verse
00:11:37.69\00:11:43.77
number 25. Now, let us review
because I believe repetition
deepens the impression. Remember
00:11:43.80\00:11:49.17
friends of mine, the Roman
Catholic Church sees itself as
00:11:49.20\00:11:53.48
the mother Church, the head of
the Roman Catholic Church is the
00:11:53.51\00:11:57.11
Pope, the Bible says that the
number of the beast will be the
00:11:57.15\00:12:01.12
number of a man, when we apply
the title for the Pope Vicar of
the Son of God, Vicarius Filii
00:12:01.15\00:12:07.19
Dei, and take those Roman
letters and apply Roman
numerals, we come up with 666.
00:12:07.22\00:12:12.46
Now, let us see what the act is
of the papacy. Daniel 7:25, the
00:12:12.49\00:12:19.97
word of God says, and he shall
speak great words against the
most high and shall wear out the
00:12:20.00\00:12:27.04
saints of the most high, and
think to change times and laws;
and they shall be given into his
00:12:27.08\00:12:35.78
hand until the time, and times,
and the dividing of time. Let me
read that again, and he shall
00:12:35.82\00:12:42.46
speak great words against the
most high and shall wear out the
saints of the most high, and
00:12:42.49\00:12:44.86
think to change times and laws;
and they shall be given into his
hand until the time, and times,
00:12:44.89\00:12:51.53
and the dividing of time. Now,
let us break this text down for
00:12:51.57\00:12:53.50
a minute. The beast of
Revelation 13 that we just read
about in Revelation 13:18 is
00:12:53.54\00:13:01.41
synonymous with the horn of
Daniel 7. Daniel was shown in
vision that a power known as a
00:13:01.44\00:13:15.06
little horn would pluck up three
other powers. Daniel is shown in
vision that this little horn,
00:13:15.09\00:13:22.80
again, is going to pluck up
three powers. These three powers
were three opposing tribes of
00:13:22.83\00:13:32.61
Roman Catholicism. They were the
Ostrogoths, the Vandals, and the
Heruli. If you study history,
00:13:32.64\00:13:39.48
you will recognize that back in
the day these three opposing
tribes Ostrogoths, Heruli, and
00:13:39.51\00:13:48.22
Vandals opposed Roman
Catholicism because they
believed in Arianism. The Bible
00:13:48.26\00:13:52.29
says that there would be a
little horn that would pluck up
or destroy these three opposing
00:13:52.33\00:13:55.23
tribes. These three opposing
tribes according to Daniel 7:8
were in actuality plucked up
00:13:55.26\00:14:02.87
and destroyed by the papacy,
that gave the papacy the
autonomy to exert its authority
00:14:02.90\00:14:09.58
and rule for a time, times, and
dividing of time. Now somebody
is saying, "well, Pastor Byrd,
00:14:09.61\00:14:15.58
what is a time, times, and
dividing of time?," I am so glad
you asked. One time represents
00:14:15.62\00:14:22.49
one year. There are twelve
months in a year, there are
thirty days in a Roman calendar
00:14:22.52\00:14:28.13
month. When you talk about
one-year you then talk about
twelve months multiplied by
00:14:28.16\00:14:34.57
thirty days in a Roman calendar
month. Twelve times thirty is
three hundred sixty. One time is
00:14:34.60\00:14:40.51
one year. One time is three
hundred sixty days. Then you say
a times, that means two years.
00:14:40.54\00:14:47.38
So if one year is three hundred
sixty then two years must be
seven hundred twenty days.
00:14:47.42\00:14:52.35
Then if you say a dividing or
half of a time, you are saying a
00:14:52.39\00:14:57.76
half of a year, one hundred
eighty is half of three hundred
sixty. So then a time is three
00:14:57.79\00:15:03.30
hundred sixty days, a times is
seven hundred twenty days, a
dividing of time is one hundred
00:15:03.33\00:15:08.94
eighty days. When you add up
360, 720, and 180, you get
twelve hundred and sixty days.
00:15:08.97\00:15:18.38
Remember in the Bible prophecy,
we apply a day for a year, so
then we are getting twelve
00:15:18.41\00:15:24.09
hundred and sixty years. The
Bible says that a horn, a beast,
a power that would oppose three
00:15:24.12\00:15:33.63
tribes Ostrogoths, Heruli, and
Vandals, would pluck them up,
but the same power would seek to
00:15:33.66\00:15:39.90
change times, and laws, and
power would be given to this
beast for twelve hundred and
00:15:39.93\00:15:46.64
sixty years. Now, if you study
history, you will discover that
the last of the three opposing
00:15:46.68\00:15:51.25
tribes that were plucked up, the
Heruli, they were destroyed in
538 A.D., when you count twelve
00:15:51.28\00:15:58.79
hundred and sixty years later in
1798, something happened in
history. In 1798 in history,
00:15:58.82\00:16:06.39
General Berthier of Napoleon,
the French generals army,
Berthier took the Pope captive.
00:16:06.43\00:16:14.20
That means then the Bible is
true, that in a time, times, and
00:16:14.24\00:16:19.34
dividing of time, in exactly
twelve hundred and sixty years
beginning when the last of those
00:16:19.37\00:16:24.98
three tribes was plucked up
until the time the papacy was
taken captive, the papacy ruled
00:16:25.01\00:16:31.49
this world twelve hundred and
sixty years beginning in 538
A.D. and ending in 1798 A.D.
00:16:31.52\00:16:39.13
Hence, there would be no
opposition to the changing of
laws, and times as prophesized
00:16:39.16\00:16:46.97
in Daniel Chapter 7. In an
attempt to change of God's law,
worship is the central issue.
00:16:47.00\00:16:53.81
Remember, the first Angel tells
us to worship God and the third
Angel tells us not to worship
00:16:53.84\00:17:01.65
the beast and the central issue
of worship in this context,
listen to me good, is the day of
00:17:01.68\00:17:08.29
worship. God has set his day at
creation, reinforced his day in
00:17:08.32\00:17:16.16
the commandments, practiced his
day through Jesus and observed
by the disciples after Jesus'
00:17:16.20\00:17:23.14
death. The beast however
has sought to change God's law.
00:17:23.17\00:17:28.18
The changing of the sacredness
from God's seventh day Sabbath
to the first day of the week was
00:17:28.21\00:17:35.98
executed by the beast. It was
executed by the papacy. Now, the
church understand could not do
00:17:36.02\00:17:43.09
this on its own because the
church cannot make you do
anything. I can preach until I
00:17:43.12\00:17:48.80
am blue in the face, but I
cannot make you do anything, the
church cannot make you do
00:17:48.83\00:17:53.70
anything, so there must be a
blending between church, and
state or the government.
00:17:53.74\00:17:57.87
Because the government
can legislate and make you do
00:17:57.91\00:18:04.35
certain things. God sacredness
of God's Sabbath slowly began to
00:18:04.38\00:18:10.65
be changed. The Catholic Church,
the mother Church, acknowledge
this change and this act itself.
00:18:10.69\00:18:17.29
Where is my proof? I am going to
share it with you. It was a
Catholic priest by the name of
00:18:17.33\00:18:22.53
Rev. Peter Geiermann. He was
asked in converts catechism. He
was asked a question, which is
00:18:22.56\00:18:32.47
the Sabbath day, his answer
Saturday is the Sabbath day. The
question was then why do we
00:18:32.51\00:18:38.85
observe Sunday instead of
Saturday? This is his answer in
their book. We observe Sunday
00:18:38.88\00:18:43.02
instead of Saturday because of
the Catholic church in the
Council of Laodicea in 321 A.D.
00:18:43.05\00:18:49.52
and later in 336 A.D.,
transferred the solemnity from
Saturday to Sunday. Go look it
00:18:49.56\00:18:53.80
up for yourself, Peter
Geiermann's Convert Catechism.
Let us get another source the
00:18:53.83\00:18:59.53
Catholic record, on September 1,
1923, go google it look it up.
It said Sunday is our mark.
00:18:59.57\00:19:10.08
This is Catholic speaking of
authority. The church is above
00:19:10.11\00:19:14.48
the Bible and this transference
of Sabbath observance is proof
of that fact. But let us get
00:19:14.52\00:19:20.46
some more evidence. These were
early on in the 1900. Let us get
some work cited closer to the
00:19:20.49\00:19:27.13
time in which we live. St.
Catherine Catholic Church
Sentinel, on May 21, 1995, St.
00:19:27.20\00:19:35.87
Catherine Catholic Church
Sentinel, perhaps the boldest
thing, the most revolutionary
00:19:35.90\00:19:42.64
change the church ever did
happened in the first century,
the holy day, the Sabbath was
00:19:42.68\00:19:46.45
changed. She says from Saturday
to Sunday not from any
directions noted in the
00:19:46.48\00:19:52.25
scriptures, but from the
churches sense of its own power.
People who think that the
00:19:52.29\00:19:58.46
scripture should be the sole
authority should logically they
became Seventh-Day Adventist and
00:19:58.49\00:20:04.57
keeps Sabbath holy. But let us
go to our last quote, Faith of
Our Fathers, Cardinal James
00:20:04.60\00:20:12.74
Gibbons, pages 111 and 112. He
says you may read the Bible from
Genesis to Revelation
00:20:12.77\00:20:16.95
and you will not find a single
line authorizing the
sanctification of Sunday.
00:20:16.98\00:20:24.42
But third Angel says, if any man
worship the beast and his image
and receive his mark on his
00:20:24.45\00:20:31.76
forehead or in his hand, the
same shall drink of the wine of
the wrath of God and should be
00:20:31.79\00:20:36.23
tormented with fire and
brimstone. Let us talk for a
minute about this mark in one's
00:20:36.26\00:20:43.24
forehead or one's hand because
someone wants to know are we
going to be walking around
00:20:43.27\00:20:47.08
people with marks in their head
or in their hands? Remember now,
we are talking about Bible
00:20:47.11\00:20:51.51
prophecy and in Prophecy, we are
dealing with symbols. So let me
set the record straight, no one
00:20:51.55\00:20:55.18
will have a literal mark, no one
will have a literal mark on
their forehead or in their hand,
00:20:55.22\00:20:58.89
or no one will have as we hear
these conspiracy theories today
a computer chip inserted in
00:20:58.92\00:21:05.26
them. But rather the hand is a
symbol of work. The forehead is
the symbol of a mind with which
00:21:05.29\00:21:13.50
we serve God. Those who work on
God's Sabbath are marked in the
00:21:13.54\00:21:17.27
hand, those who accept Sunday
observance are marked in their
00:21:17.31\00:21:21.24
forehead. But let us go back to
Revelation 13 and let us go back
to Revelation 13 and let us go
00:21:21.28\00:21:26.55
to verses 16 and 17 for a
minute. Revelation 13:16-17, the
word of God says, "and he causes
00:21:26.58\00:21:38.09
all both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to
receive a mark in their right
00:21:38.13\00:21:42.53
hand or in their foreheads. And
that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark or the
00:21:42.56\00:21:47.77
name of the beast or the number
of his name." What is this text
telling us? The day is coming,
00:21:47.80\00:21:55.04
the day is coming where
individuals will not be able to
buy or sell unless they have the
00:21:55.08\00:22:01.95
mark of the beast. The ability
then for the government to
identify individuals through the
00:22:01.98\00:22:05.12
use of cards and numbers gives
them immediate access to your
personal records, bank accounts,
00:22:05.15\00:22:09.62
and also your location, which
means they can stop any desire
you might have for freedom or
00:22:09.66\00:22:17.23
purchase. When the religious
issues, friends, become clear
people are forced to either
00:22:17.27\00:22:22.47
receive the mark of the beast as
opposed to God seventh day
Sabbath. Then those who choose
00:22:22.50\00:22:27.58
God seventh day Sabbath will not
be able to buy or sell and those
who choose the mark of the beast
00:22:27.61\00:22:37.19
will be worshiping the beast.
Verse 10 says, "So drink of the
wine of the wrath of God,
00:22:37.22\00:22:42.22
which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his
00:22:42.26\00:22:44.69
indignation and he shall be
tormented with fire and
brimstone in the presence of the
00:22:44.73\00:22:47.93
holy angels, and in the presence
of the lamb; And the smoke of
their torment ascended up
00:22:47.96\00:22:50.97
forever and ever and they have
no rest day nor night who
worship the beast and his image
00:22:51.00\00:22:54.30
and whosoever receiveth the mark
of his name. Friends of mine,
all of those who drink from
00:22:54.34\00:23:00.68
Babylon seductive wine of
fornication, which are Satan's
false teachings will become the
00:23:00.71\00:23:09.15
objects of divine wrath,
God wants everybody to pass
00:23:09.18\00:23:12.42
God wants to save everybody, but
everybody does not want to be
00:23:12.45\00:23:18.73
saved and unless God in his
final wrath finally purges the
world of all evil and rebellion,
00:23:18.76\00:23:26.50
then God's kingdom cannot
come. The third Angel's warns,
00:23:26.53\00:23:32.01
worshippers of the beasts that
in addition to drinking the wine
from the wrath of God they will
00:23:32.04\00:23:37.85
also be tormented with fire and
brimstone. The text says, and
the smoke of their torment
00:23:37.88\00:23:49.96
ascended up forever and ever The
Bible is very clear that forever
means as long as one shall live
00:23:49.99\00:23:56.53
which means the burning fire
continues long enough to
complete its purpose and leaves
00:23:56.56\00:24:02.74
nothing to be burned. The third
angel then announces that those
who worship the beast
00:24:02.77\00:24:05.31
and received the mark of his
name have no rest day or night.
00:24:05.34\00:24:07.88
This is in direct contrast to
the statement which follows the
Three Angels Messages of
00:24:07.91\00:24:14.58
Revelation 14:6-12 because
Revelation 14:13 says that the
followers of Christ are promised
00:24:14.62\00:24:21.52
rest from their labors. The
worshipers of the beast however
will never experience that
00:24:21.56\00:24:27.23
heavenly rest. The rest that
God's people enter is eternal
and the impending judgment for
00:24:27.23\00:24:36.74
the unbelievers is also eternal.
because of his desire to be
saved when Jesus comes. I will
00:24:36.77\00:24:39.44
not be able to go into Walmart,
I will not be able to go into
public's, I would not be able to
00:24:39.47\00:24:46.58
go into Walgreens. I will not be
able go to sell, and I will try
to pay for my food. I will try
00:24:46.61\00:24:56.12
to pay for my grocery. I am
gonna try to pay for my gas with
a card. But because I would not
00:24:56.16\00:25:01.60
have the mark of the beast,
because I have not followed the
crowd, because I have not
00:25:01.63\00:25:08.80
followed what is popular, but
because I have decided to follow
Jesus. I will not be able to buy
00:25:08.84\00:25:17.98
or sell but all the good news
that God gives me says, Byrd, do
not worry about that
00:25:18.01\00:25:22.98
because he closes out the three
Angels messages by saying here
is the patience of the saints.
00:25:23.02\00:25:28.69
Here are they that keep the
commandments of God and have the
faith of Jesus Christ.
00:25:28.72\00:25:34.40
And so when they haul me off
to jail, when I am persecuted, I
00:25:34.46\00:25:41.40
will be all right because
serving the Lord will pay off
after a while. I will be all
00:25:41.44\00:25:47.18
right because I will be able to
quote Revelation 15:2-3, and I
00:25:47.21\00:25:52.55
saw as it were, a glass mingled
with fire and them that had
gotten the victory over the
00:25:52.58\00:25:58.02
beast, and over his
image, and over his mark,
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.72
and over the number of his name
stand on the sea of glass having
00:25:59.75\00:26:04.79
the harps of God and they sing
the song of Moses the servant of
God, and the song of the lamb
00:26:04.83\00:26:10.93
saying great and marvelous are
thy works. Lord God Almighty,
just and true are thy ways thou
00:26:10.97\00:26:18.64
king of saints. And then I will
Echo the words of the great
American patriot, Patrick Henry,
00:26:18.67\00:26:24.71
in the cause of American
Freedom. Give me liberty or give
00:26:24.75\00:26:31.39
me death. Give me religious
freedom or give me death. Give
me the Bible or give me death.
00:26:31.42\00:26:39.19
Give me the commandments or give
me death. Give me the Sabbath or
00:26:39.23\00:26:46.47
give me death. Give me the truth
or give me death. Give me the
spirit of prophecy or give me
00:26:46.50\00:26:53.78
death. Give me what is rights or
give me death. Give me Jesus or
00:26:53.81\00:27:01.18
give me death. Give me the cross
or give me death because he was
wounded for my transgressions,
00:27:01.22\00:27:07.12
bruised for my iniquities. The
chastisement of our peace was
upon him but by his stripes.
00:27:07.16\00:27:14.86
I am healed today. So today, I
cannot worry about what
everybody else is doing.
00:27:14.93\00:27:20.07
I cannot worry about what
everybody else is saying. Give
me Jesus or give me death.
00:27:20.10\00:27:27.51
In the name of Jesus, fear God,
glorify God, worship God.
Babylon is falling,
00:27:27.54\00:27:35.15
get out and do not receive the
mark of the beast. So today, who
are you going to give your
00:27:35.18\00:27:42.96
worship too? God or Satan? You
better hear this preacher today.
Jesus is coming. I do not know
00:27:42.99\00:27:53.30
when he is coming, but
I know he is coming soon.
