Hello and welcome to
"Behold The Lamb Presents,"
00:00:41.79\00:00:45.08
I'm Chris Shelton
your host and we are so
00:00:45.09\00:00:47.46
thankful and so
grateful that you have chosen
00:00:47.47\00:00:50.12
to join us today.
Today's message is the second
00:00:50.13\00:00:53.97
in a two part series
that we have entitled
00:00:53.98\00:00:56.74
"True To Our
Calling." "True To Our Calling"
00:00:56.75\00:01:01.04
to begin today's
program I'd like to
00:01:01.05\00:01:03.52
read you a quote found
in the book Testimonies
00:01:03.53\00:01:06.75
for the Church, it's
in Volume 9 and page 19
00:01:06.76\00:01:10.43
it reads, "In a
special sense God's people
00:01:10.44\00:01:14.55
have been set in
the world as watchmen
00:01:14.56\00:01:17.30
and light
bearers. Now, we know that
00:01:17.31\00:01:20.41
the word light here means truth.
00:01:20.42\00:01:22.92
Therefore God's
people are to be a people
00:01:22.93\00:01:25.32
watching for err and
proclaiming His truth,"
00:01:25.33\00:01:28.88
reading on, "To
them has been entrusted
00:01:28.89\00:01:32.18
the last warming
message for a perishing world."
00:01:32.19\00:01:35.68
The last warning message,
did you get those words?
00:01:35.69\00:01:39.46
"For a perishing
world. They have been given
00:01:39.47\00:01:42.63
a work of the most
solemn import-the proclamation
00:01:42.64\00:01:46.80
of the first, second,
and Third Angels Message.
00:01:46.81\00:01:50.96
The most solemn
truths ever entrusted
00:01:50.97\00:01:53.54
to mortals have
been given us to proclaim
00:01:53.55\00:01:56.10
to the world.
The proclamation of
00:01:56.11\00:01:58.44
these truths is to be our work.
00:01:58.45\00:02:01.35
The world is to
be warned, and God's
00:02:01.36\00:02:04.11
people are to be
true, did you see that?
00:02:04.12\00:02:07.19
True to the trust
committed to them."
00:02:07.20\00:02:10.33
As my husband
Pastor Kenny warned us
00:02:10.34\00:02:13.67
in the message of
this series, our being true
00:02:13.68\00:02:17.30
to God's calling is a
matter of eternal life
00:02:17.31\00:02:20.34
or eternal death.
Time is of the essence,
00:02:20.35\00:02:24.05
the world is drawing
to close and true workers
00:02:24.06\00:02:27.56
of God, true workers
of God need to take their
00:02:27.57\00:02:30.72
stands committed
to them of heaven and
00:02:30.73\00:02:33.47
share this light of
truth, so that other souls may
00:02:33.48\00:02:36.22
come out of
spiritual confusion and be
00:02:36.23\00:02:38.97
prepared dist
unworthy to meet the Savior.
00:02:38.98\00:02:42.53
So, hold onto your
seats as Pastor Kenny shares
00:02:42.54\00:02:46.35
with us this vital
message the Lord has laid upon
00:02:46.36\00:02:49.47
His heart, but first
we are blessed to visit to
00:02:49.48\00:02:52.94
3ABN Worship Center
and listen to a song
00:02:52.95\00:02:56.10
entitled, "God Made Our Hands."
00:02:56.11\00:02:59.97
God made our hands to give
00:03:11.40\00:03:16.61
and receive His blessings
00:03:16.62\00:03:20.79
He made His voice
for singing a happy song
00:03:20.80\00:03:29.47
God made our feet to
walk on the path of rainbow
00:03:29.48\00:03:39.20
He made a smile for
smiling the whole day long.
00:03:39.21\00:03:48.55
God gave us eyes then filled
00:03:48.56\00:03:54.04
all the world with beauty
00:03:54.05\00:03:58.00
Sunshine and
trees and stars above
00:03:58.01\00:04:06.64
Wonder of all He
gave us a gift so special
00:04:06.65\00:04:16.65
God gave us a
heart to share His love
00:04:16.66\00:04:23.91
God made our hands to give
00:04:23.92\00:04:31.62
and receive His blessings
00:04:31.63\00:04:36.99
He made His voice
for singing a happy song
00:04:37.00\00:04:45.01
God made our feet to
walk on the path of rainbow
00:04:45.02\00:04:55.05
He made a smile for
smiling the whole day long.
00:04:55.06\00:05:04.04
God gave us eyes then filled
00:05:04.05\00:05:09.71
all the world with beauty
00:05:09.72\00:05:13.70
Sunshine and
trees and stars above
00:05:13.71\00:05:22.50
Wonder of all He
gave us a gift so special
00:05:22.51\00:05:32.46
God gave us a
heart to share His love
00:05:32.47\00:05:40.29
To share His love.
00:05:40.30\00:05:48.50
Hi, glad you join
us today once again.
00:05:50.62\00:05:52.59
We're gonna be
studying God's word,
00:05:52.60\00:05:54.09
get your paper, or
pencil, get your Bible out.
00:05:54.10\00:05:56.53
We have a lot of
material to cover today.
00:05:56.54\00:05:59.05
And by God's
grace we're going to try
00:05:59.06\00:06:00.32
to cover it, but before we do
00:06:00.33\00:06:01.98
we always ask
for God's blessing.
00:06:01.99\00:06:04.25
We need the power of
the Holy Spirit, don't we?
00:06:04.26\00:06:06.21
Let's ask Him
right now. Where you can,
00:06:06.22\00:06:08.45
why don't you kneel
with me? Where you can just,
00:06:08.46\00:06:10.90
just ask God to help
us as we do this program.
00:06:10.91\00:06:14.16
Let's pray, shall we?
00:06:14.17\00:06:15.28
Merciful Father in
Heaven, we thank you
00:06:17.77\00:06:19.59
for the privilege of prayer.
00:06:19.60\00:06:21.09
We ask now for
the anointing of thy
00:06:21.10\00:06:23.00
Holy Spirit upon
every word that spoken.
00:06:23.01\00:06:25.29
As we break the
bread of life may it come
00:06:25.30\00:06:27.82
alive to us, may we
see Jesus, may we be
00:06:27.83\00:06:30.94
filled with that
Spirit, may our ears be
00:06:30.95\00:06:32.91
unstopped, and
our minds be unplugged
00:06:32.92\00:06:34.91
that we may see
and hear and understand
00:06:34.92\00:06:37.52
Your word today, in
the precious name of Jesus,
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.24
as you come near
now to each one bless,
00:06:40.25\00:06:42.67
those who watch,
those who listen and
00:06:42.68\00:06:45.16
we just pray that
there will be a word
00:06:45.17\00:06:46.86
in due season that
will lead us closer to Jesus
00:06:46.87\00:06:49.20
is my prayer, in
Jesus name, amen.
00:06:49.21\00:06:52.75
Again we're glad you joined us.
00:06:54.42\00:06:55.84
This is a second part
of two part series that
00:06:55.85\00:06:58.85
we've been doing
and we've been talking
00:06:58.86\00:07:01.23
about True To Our
Calling. What does that really
00:07:01.24\00:07:03.79
mean True To Our
Calling? God has either
00:07:03.80\00:07:07.20
called us or He
has not called us.
00:07:07.21\00:07:09.36
He has either
given us the message,
00:07:09.37\00:07:11.08
or maybe He hasn't
give us the message,
00:07:11.09\00:07:13.22
if He has it would
be clear, wouldn't it?
00:07:13.23\00:07:15.21
And so, let's just go
over since some of you say,
00:07:15.22\00:07:17.74
well I'm tune in for
the first time, you miss
00:07:17.75\00:07:20.62
the first part.
Well, that's available,
00:07:20.63\00:07:22.48
you can hear that as
my wife gives you that
00:07:22.49\00:07:24.38
instructions at beginning,
at the end of program.
00:07:24.39\00:07:26.70
Be sure you can get
that, but if not let me
00:07:26.71\00:07:28.80
just take a couple
of minutes and let's go
00:07:28.81\00:07:30.24
over some of
the material that we
00:07:30.25\00:07:32.15
covered on the first part.
00:07:32.16\00:07:34.14
We started out with
Revelation chapter 14,
00:07:34.15\00:07:36.68
6 through 12 because that is the
00:07:36.69\00:07:38.91
Three Angels Message.
Why should we be giving
00:07:38.92\00:07:41.99
the Three Angels
Message? I don't know,
00:07:42.00\00:07:43.92
if any other
Church around the world is
00:07:43.93\00:07:45.40
giving the Three
Angels Message, except
00:07:45.41\00:07:47.48
Seventh-day
Adventist to be honest.
00:07:47.49\00:07:49.10
Why are we giving it?
Here's, here's what I'm,
00:07:49.11\00:07:51.65
I'm, I'm finding
out studying God's word.
00:07:51.66\00:07:54.44
Here's what I understand is
00:07:54.45\00:07:57.10
because the, many
of the churches today
00:07:57.11\00:07:59.48
have become corrupt
in their principles.
00:07:59.49\00:08:01.99
The doctrines have
been changed and God
00:08:02.00\00:08:04.82
is calling a people
back to bring us out
00:08:04.83\00:08:07.18
of darkness into
that marvelous light.
00:08:07.19\00:08:09.55
We realize today
that false religion as
00:08:09.56\00:08:12.28
we read scriptures
going to be exalted
00:08:12.29\00:08:14.23
in the end of time.
And so, as the false
00:08:14.24\00:08:16.88
religious system is
being exalted what should
00:08:16.89\00:08:19.28
we do as God's
people? We've got to present
00:08:19.29\00:08:21.72
the truth as it is
in Jesus, we must be.
00:08:21.73\00:08:25.33
In our first part
we learned that we must
00:08:25.34\00:08:27.23
be about our Father's
business, how, what was
00:08:27.24\00:08:29.85
Jesus business? His
business was winning
00:08:29.86\00:08:32.13
souls, that's what we
need to be doing today.
00:08:32.14\00:08:35.31
We have a heavy
responsibility and an
00:08:35.32\00:08:38.03
accountability to
God for the light that
00:08:38.04\00:08:40.94
He has given us. We
spend sometime on that
00:08:40.95\00:08:44.17
because we are
accountable for the
00:08:44.18\00:08:46.40
amount of light that
we have received from God.
00:08:46.41\00:08:49.16
Think about that
today, if all the light that
00:08:49.17\00:08:52.06
God has given
you, you're accountable
00:08:52.07\00:08:54.84
for every ray of
that light and are we
00:08:54.85\00:08:56.93
distributing it out
to the world the way that
00:08:56.94\00:08:59.76
we should be. We
found out that there's no
00:08:59.77\00:09:02.62
other work as great
as importance as the
00:09:02.63\00:09:05.19
giving of the
Three Angels Message,
00:09:05.20\00:09:06.73
which is a warning
to the world that Jesus
00:09:06.74\00:09:09.23
is soon to come.
Preparation message,
00:09:09.24\00:09:11.68
and distinguish,
we learned that God's
00:09:11.69\00:09:14.88
people will be distinguished by
00:09:14.89\00:09:16.61
keeping the commandments
of God that's all ten.
00:09:16.62\00:09:19.85
And then we turned
to Exodus 31 and we say,
00:09:19.86\00:09:22.62
well here the Bible
says that there is a sign,
00:09:22.63\00:09:25.50
there is a sign
between God in His people
00:09:25.51\00:09:28.06
what was that sign?
Yeah, some of you bit;
00:09:28.07\00:09:30.28
yeah you remember it's
the Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:09:30.29\00:09:33.26
The Sabbath was given
for a sign between God
00:09:33.27\00:09:35.51
and men. So, these
are, these are, these
00:09:35.52\00:09:37.16
are my people.
And then some of you,
00:09:37.17\00:09:39.48
I know you
question you said oh! Yeah,
00:09:39.49\00:09:41.17
that's nice, but that
was for Israel, some of you
00:09:41.18\00:09:43.58
say oh! I know that
was done away with that
00:09:43.59\00:09:45.82
the Old Covenant. I
wonder who is the true
00:09:45.83\00:09:50.30
Israel today, not
going to spend a whole lot of
00:09:50.31\00:09:52.73
time on it but, but
we need to look in the
00:09:52.74\00:09:54.87
scripture and find
out these promises.
00:09:54.88\00:09:57.17
If God has given
promises in scripture to,
00:09:57.18\00:10:00.94
to Israel gave them
to the Jews and then
00:10:00.95\00:10:03.71
the New Testament
Church, where do you
00:10:03.72\00:10:05.47
stand, what's your
position? Who is the
00:10:05.48\00:10:08.28
Israel today? Now, I
want you to just examine
00:10:08.29\00:10:11.51
couple of passages
with me, contemplate
00:10:11.52\00:10:14.14
these before you
close your ears and say,
00:10:14.15\00:10:16.00
oh! I know, but that
that the Seventh-day say,
00:10:16.01\00:10:18.25
it's all back in the
Old Testament or listen to
00:10:18.26\00:10:20.34
what Jesus had to
say in the New Testament,
00:10:20.35\00:10:22.68
John had to say in
John chapter 1 verse 11
00:10:22.69\00:10:25.63
and 12. Bottom line
is simply Jesus says,
00:10:25.64\00:10:29.27
"I came unto my own and
my own received me not."
00:10:29.28\00:10:35.11
Now, I'm gonna turn
that and I want you take
00:10:35.12\00:10:36.98
your Bible and turn
too, because this is very
00:10:36.99\00:10:39.87
portent and God would
have us to understand it.
00:10:39.88\00:10:42.79
John chapter what?
John chapter 1 verses 11
00:10:42.80\00:10:46.10
and 12, John
chapter 1 verses 11 and 12.
00:10:46.11\00:10:49.31
He said, "He came
unto his own, and his own
00:10:49.32\00:10:51.67
received him
not." Now, notice 12,
00:10:51.68\00:10:54.42
"But as many as
received him, to them gave
00:10:54.43\00:10:58.30
he power to
become the sons of God."
00:10:58.31\00:11:01.59
Let's just leave
it there for a moment.
00:11:01.60\00:11:03.16
The first verse
He came unto His own,
00:11:03.17\00:11:05.95
He came unto
what? The, the Jews,
00:11:05.96\00:11:07.66
He came to His
own, but what happened?
00:11:07.67\00:11:09.31
The Jews rejected Him.
And so, Jesus said now:
00:11:09.32\00:11:12.74
But as many as received, 'cause
00:11:12.75\00:11:15.22
I hear a lot of
times people say, oh! Well,
00:11:15.23\00:11:16.69
the Jews they're,
they're still God's
00:11:16.70\00:11:18.28
chosen people and maybe
those promises belong to.
00:11:18.29\00:11:21.12
We are the New Testament Church,
00:11:21.13\00:11:23.34
Jesus said, I came unto
My own, they rejected Me
00:11:23.35\00:11:25.77
and then the
Bible simply says, those
00:11:25.78\00:11:27.98
who receive Him, to
them gave He power to
00:11:27.99\00:11:30.44
become the sons
and daughter of God.
00:11:30.45\00:11:33.54
You have to what? Receive Him.
00:11:33.55\00:11:35.22
They rejected Him,
so please contemplate on
00:11:35.23\00:11:37.68
that passage. Now,
let's look at one more,
00:11:37.69\00:11:39.97
shall we just read
right here in Acts chapter 13
00:11:39.98\00:11:42.30
verse 46. Jesus was
talking to here and Paul,
00:11:42.31\00:11:45.64
Paul was talking and
they were coming together
00:11:45.65\00:11:47.71
and they said, you're
talking about the Jews,
00:11:47.72\00:11:49.64
they said you
judge yourself unworthy
00:11:49.65\00:11:52.68
of everlasting life,
lo the Bible says we turn
00:11:52.69\00:11:56.85
to the gentiles.
What does all of this mean
00:11:56.86\00:12:00.93
when we're
talking about the Israel;
00:12:00.94\00:12:03.94
we're talking about
keeping God's Ten Commandment
00:12:03.95\00:12:06.46
law, what does this
mean? You know these,
00:12:06.47\00:12:09.17
these truths that we
have to, we, that we're
00:12:09.18\00:12:11.73
studying in God's
word we need to look
00:12:11.74\00:12:14.14
line-upon-line,
precept-upon-precept,
00:12:14.15\00:12:16.69
here a little
and there a little.
00:12:16.70\00:12:18.71
Now, this again just
a, just a, just a short,
00:12:18.72\00:12:21.13
just in a, a
nutshell here, but I want you
00:12:21.14\00:12:23.69
to take your
Bibles and turn with me to
00:12:23.70\00:12:25.36
Galatians chapter
3, Galatians chapter 3
00:12:25.37\00:12:29.26
because many
people used this as an
00:12:29.27\00:12:31.49
excuse not to obey God's word.
00:12:31.50\00:12:34.80
And we don't want
excuses, God doesn't
00:12:34.81\00:12:36.51
want excuses
today. We're going to look
00:12:36.52\00:12:38.83
and say, 'cause
those promise God said,
00:12:38.84\00:12:40.55
the Seventh-day
Sabbath is a sign between Me
00:12:40.56\00:12:43.25
and My people and
the only excuse you can
00:12:43.26\00:12:45.92
come up with this
simply say, well I am
00:12:45.93\00:12:47.17
His people, but
that was for Israel.
00:12:47.18\00:12:48.92
Who is Israel today?
Notice what the Bible says
00:12:48.93\00:12:52.22
here in Galatians
chapter 3 verse 7,
00:12:52.23\00:12:54.28
just underline it
quickly. "Know ye therefore that
00:12:54.29\00:12:57.40
they which are of
faith, the same are the
00:12:57.41\00:13:01.22
children of Abraham."
What does the Bible say?
00:13:01.23\00:13:04.49
Those of you are
faith, as a Christian
00:13:04.50\00:13:07.13
we have to be what? A
faith, the Bible says,
00:13:07.14\00:13:09.16
without faith it is
what? Good, impossible to
00:13:09.17\00:13:12.84
please God. So, the
children, if you are faith,
00:13:12.85\00:13:15.80
the same are the
children of Abraham.
00:13:15.81\00:13:18.24
Wow! The promise
was given to what?
00:13:18.25\00:13:20.10
Promise was
given to, to Abraham.
00:13:20.11\00:13:22.16
Is that promise for
you today? Is that for me
00:13:22.17\00:13:24.98
today? Is that just
for some other group?
00:13:24.99\00:13:26.76
Bible says here, if
you are a faith, spiritual
00:13:26.77\00:13:30.72
iterates us, what this,
those who rely on faith,
00:13:30.73\00:13:33.90
the saving
merits of Jesus Christ.
00:13:33.91\00:13:36.10
Now, in that
same chapters you kept
00:13:36.11\00:13:37.79
to verse 9 with
me. The Bible says,
00:13:37.80\00:13:39.83
"So then they which
be of faith are blessed
00:13:39.84\00:13:43.36
with faithful
Abraham." We are what?
00:13:43.37\00:13:46.59
Blessed with the
faithful Abraham,
00:13:46.60\00:13:48.69
if we live by faith. Are
you living by faith today?
00:13:48.70\00:13:53.16
Are you receiving
the promises of God today
00:13:53.17\00:13:55.67
or are they way
back there those promises
00:13:55.68\00:13:57.36
just for the ancients,
or not not for us today?
00:13:57.37\00:14:00.59
Something is happen
dear friend, let's go on
00:14:00.60\00:14:02.89
little farther. Verse
14, "That the blessings of
00:14:02.90\00:14:06.06
Abraham might come
to the gentiles through
00:14:06.07\00:14:09.47
Jesus Christ that
we might receive the
00:14:09.48\00:14:12.55
promise of the
spirit through faith."
00:14:12.56\00:14:15.87
What is the Bible
talking about here?
00:14:15.88\00:14:17.74
Blessings of the what?
That that the covenant,
00:14:17.75\00:14:20.63
God said their promise
to us today the blessings
00:14:20.64\00:14:23.34
of Abraham might
come to the gentiles.
00:14:23.35\00:14:26.11
Oh! Maybe you're
gentile, you're not a Jew,
00:14:26.12\00:14:28.82
you're not Israelite,
you just what? You, you,
00:14:28.83\00:14:30.62
you say, well I'm,
I'm a gentile, I've been
00:14:30.63\00:14:33.21
grafted in. The
promises are yours today,
00:14:33.22\00:14:36.34
not for somebody back
there, but for you today.
00:14:36.35\00:14:39.37
Jesus Christ said,
we might receive the
00:14:39.38\00:14:40.73
promise through the spirit.
00:14:40.74\00:14:42.23
Now, let's get a
little bit clear,
00:14:42.24\00:14:43.77
I'm moving quickly
we've lot of material
00:14:43.78\00:14:45.47
to cover today, verses
27, 28, 29 in Galatians 3.
00:14:45.48\00:14:49.90
Notice it, how clear this guess.
00:14:49.91\00:14:51.75
Let's start with 26.
It says, "For ye are all
00:14:51.76\00:14:54.90
the children of God
by faith in Jesus Christ,
00:14:54.91\00:14:57.66
notice. For as
many of you as have been
00:14:57.67\00:15:00.93
baptized into
Christ have put on Christ."
00:15:00.94\00:15:04.74
Have you been
baptized? Do you understand the
00:15:04.75\00:15:07.19
importance of baptism?
Have you been baptized,
00:15:07.20\00:15:09.64
baptized, you went
down that Watery grave and
00:15:09.65\00:15:12.15
you come back up,
the Bible says, you put
00:15:12.16\00:15:15.14
on Christ and if you
put on Christ notice this
00:15:15.15\00:15:18.08
in verse 28, "There
is neither Jew nor Greek,
00:15:18.09\00:15:21.55
the Bible says, there
is neither bond nor free,
00:15:21.56\00:15:24.58
there is
neither male nor female:
00:15:24.59\00:15:27.10
for ye are all
one in Christ Jesus."
00:15:27.11\00:15:30.38
And here is some,
we say some icing for
00:15:30.39\00:15:32.48
the cake here, so
that we need, need not
00:15:32.49\00:15:34.32
misunderstand. Verse 29 it says,
00:15:34.33\00:15:36.22
"If ye be Christ's,
then are ye Abraham's what?
00:15:36.23\00:15:41.62
Abraham seed, and
heirs according to the
00:15:41.63\00:15:45.23
promise." There we
are. We're heirs to the,
00:15:45.24\00:15:48.34
to the promise of
God. Somebody said,
00:15:48.35\00:15:50.00
well I've not quite
God, but I'm starting to
00:15:50.01\00:15:51.83
think a little bit
here because we read here
00:15:51.84\00:15:54.12
in John 1:11-12,
He came to His own,
00:15:54.13\00:15:56.36
his own rejected Him,
the disciples were going
00:15:56.37\00:15:59.81
out, preaching
Paul was preaching,
00:15:59.82\00:16:01.50
Barnabas was
preaching and they said,
00:16:01.51\00:16:03.16
you the Jews, you,
you, you, you just,
00:16:03.17\00:16:05.68
you don't want
everlasting life and low
00:16:05.69\00:16:07.77
we're turning to the
gentiles with our message.
00:16:07.78\00:16:10.19
We're the gentiles with
the New Testament Church.
00:16:10.20\00:16:13.17
Let's just read a
couple of more here maybe help
00:16:13.18\00:16:15.11
us to understand
little bit still confuse in
00:16:15.12\00:16:17.41
Romans. Romans
chapter 11 verses 1,
00:16:17.42\00:16:21.02
Romans what?
Romans 11 verse 1 here's
00:16:21.03\00:16:23.72
what the Bible says,
"I say then, Hath God cast
00:16:23.73\00:16:27.73
away his people? God forbid.
00:16:27.74\00:16:31.68
For I also am an
Israelite, of the seed
00:16:31.69\00:16:35.77
of Abraham, of the
tribe of Benjamin."
00:16:35.78\00:16:39.52
And then in verse 5
says, "Even so then at this
00:16:39.53\00:16:43.74
present time, notice
this, also there is a remnant
00:16:43.75\00:16:47.24
according to the
election of grace."
00:16:47.25\00:16:50.41
Friend, the New
Testament Church,
00:16:50.42\00:16:52.78
you can be heirs to
the promises of God.
00:16:52.79\00:16:56.53
Now, what
happened to Israel of old,
00:16:58.75\00:17:01.21
was Israel true
and faithful to God?
00:17:01.22\00:17:03.99
No, Israel failed
miserably, they were
00:17:04.00\00:17:06.99
rejected of God
and then God what?
00:17:07.00\00:17:09.21
He began to seek other
people, who was the next?
00:17:09.22\00:17:12.17
The Jews, the priests,
the rabies, the religious
00:17:12.18\00:17:15.54
leaders you see,
they rejected Jesus,
00:17:15.55\00:17:18.33
they nailed Him onto
the Cross, they didn't
00:17:18.34\00:17:20.78
most of them known He
believe that He is even,
00:17:20.79\00:17:22.86
He came to this
earth and Jesus you know,
00:17:22.87\00:17:25.31
the Bible is very
clear there, there was no
00:17:25.32\00:17:26.78
other name given among men,
00:17:26.79\00:17:28.57
whereby we must be save in what?
00:17:28.58\00:17:30.04
The name of, of
Jesus. And so, Jesus then had
00:17:30.05\00:17:33.64
to look elsewhere,
so where would He go?
00:17:33.65\00:17:36.12
Spiritual Israel,
the New Testament Church.
00:17:36.13\00:17:39.25
And so, that
covenant that He makes,
00:17:39.26\00:17:41.33
now has been
transferred Israel to the Jews,
00:17:41.34\00:17:43.59
to the New
Testament Church, which we are
00:17:43.60\00:17:45.59
a part of as gentiles
and so that covenant is
00:17:45.60\00:17:48.55
with God's people
today. We need to be keeping
00:17:48.56\00:17:50.82
all of God's commandments.
00:17:50.83\00:17:52.75
All ten, that's
right exactly all ten.
00:17:52.76\00:17:56.58
You know what,
what, what if a man sets
00:17:56.59\00:17:58.56
aside the law of God?
What, what if a person
00:17:58.57\00:18:01.04
just take those Ten Commandments
00:18:01.05\00:18:02.07
and just set them
aside? Men would have no
00:18:02.08\00:18:04.93
direction; we
would know what was right
00:18:04.94\00:18:07.60
and wrong? What
we should do, what
00:18:07.61\00:18:09.86
we shouldn't do?
How we can please God?
00:18:09.87\00:18:12.26
What if, if we were
you know, if, if we look
00:18:12.27\00:18:15.40
at God's law and we
say, I am trying to figure
00:18:15.41\00:18:17.13
out God? God's law
is a transcript what?
00:18:17.14\00:18:19.80
Of His
character, it reveals the,
00:18:19.81\00:18:22.43
the principles of
heaven. Do you want to know the
00:18:22.44\00:18:25.17
principles of
heaven? If you plan on being
00:18:25.18\00:18:28.14
there surely you do.
Because the principles
00:18:28.15\00:18:30.47
of heaven is what
you will be living by,
00:18:30.48\00:18:32.40
right, if by God's
grace you make it to heaven.
00:18:32.41\00:18:35.31
We need to understand that here.
00:18:35.32\00:18:36.94
If we refuse the
principles we place our
00:18:36.95\00:18:41.37
self outside of
the blessings of God.
00:18:41.38\00:18:43.97
So, God gives the
principles in His word,
00:18:43.98\00:18:46.63
if we refuse those
things then how can
00:18:46.64\00:18:48.84
we expect to
receive the blessings that
00:18:48.85\00:18:51.81
God wants to give
to us. We can't, and so
00:18:51.82\00:18:54.42
the devil has us
what? Living outside,
00:18:54.43\00:18:56.70
or they trying to
live outside like.
00:18:56.71\00:18:58.30
It's not important,
we don't have to anymore.
00:18:58.31\00:19:01.11
Oh! Friend that's
the devil's thought.
00:19:01.12\00:19:04.15
God says, if you
love me you do what?
00:19:04.16\00:19:06.35
Good, you keep His commandments.
00:19:06.36\00:19:08.27
After reading some
of these words we just
00:19:08.28\00:19:10.56
read you know it,
it's very clear to me.
00:19:10.57\00:19:12.52
And that, which we
look at God's last day
00:19:12.53\00:19:15.78
people because
we want to be what?
00:19:15.79\00:19:17.76
True, is the
second part, true to our,
00:19:17.77\00:19:20.34
our calling. Has God
called you, he's called
00:19:20.35\00:19:23.39
you, He called you
with a, with a Holy calling.
00:19:23.40\00:19:25.92
He's called you out
of darkness into that
00:19:25.93\00:19:28.03
marvelous light. God is
leading, guiding a people,
00:19:28.04\00:19:31.29
preparing the people of
this world to meet Jesus.
00:19:31.30\00:19:35.79
So, there must be a
specific message that
00:19:35.80\00:19:37.86
that has to be
given, there has to be a, a
00:19:37.87\00:19:40.52
separating, distinguishing,
different than what
00:19:40.53\00:19:43.27
other churches are
giving around the world today.
00:19:43.28\00:19:46.31
You need to be
true to your calling and
00:19:46.32\00:19:48.14
I need to be true to my
calling, it's not a time
00:19:48.15\00:19:50.73
to be lax, it's not
a, a time to be, to lazy,
00:19:50.74\00:19:53.55
is not a time not to
show up, we are in a battle,
00:19:53.56\00:19:56.71
we're in a boxing match
as it were with the enemy,
00:19:56.72\00:19:59.20
we need Jesus on
our side, we need Him
00:19:59.21\00:20:01.90
give the old devil
you see knock and knockout
00:20:01.91\00:20:03.95
punch, but we realize
as we study God's word.
00:20:03.96\00:20:07.47
Those who keep
God's Commandment,
00:20:07.48\00:20:09.52
those who are
obedient to His commands,
00:20:09.53\00:20:11.76
they are a denominated people.
00:20:11.77\00:20:14.61
What does that
mean? A denominated people
00:20:14.62\00:20:17.22
are those who, are
those who are that that,
00:20:17.23\00:20:19.33
that not
denominated mean, they're,
00:20:19.34\00:20:20.50
they're named
people, they are a, a called
00:20:20.51\00:20:24.86
people, they're
people having a, a
00:20:24.87\00:20:27.09
something very
specific message to give,
00:20:27.10\00:20:30.07
does that sound
familiar? And yet so often we as
00:20:30.08\00:20:34.81
God's last day people
we sit on the message,
00:20:34.82\00:20:38.30
we sit on like we
have they say, all the time
00:20:38.31\00:20:41.50
in the world, it's running out.
00:20:41.51\00:20:44.00
Bible says, we have to
work; well it's what day
00:20:44.01\00:20:46.66
because night come with what?
00:20:46.67\00:20:48.41
Oh! I heard somebody
say, but no man can work.
00:20:48.42\00:20:51.59
So, why is that we
keep putting it all,
00:20:51.60\00:20:53.75
when souls are
dying everyday for lack
00:20:53.76\00:20:56.05
of the truth. And
then some of you have the
00:20:56.06\00:20:58.17
truth, but you
don't love the truth.
00:20:58.18\00:21:00.46
Oh! Yeah, you know it
that does, that doesn't
00:21:00.47\00:21:02.75
matter, that's not
going to get you to heaven
00:21:02.76\00:21:04.30
because you say, I know, I know.
00:21:04.31\00:21:06.13
There is too many I
knows in the world today,
00:21:06.14\00:21:08.23
but do you love the
truth, if you love the
00:21:08.24\00:21:10.51
truth you're going to
be willing to do what?
00:21:10.52\00:21:12.48
Good to obey. You know
they, they'll talk about
00:21:12.49\00:21:16.67
God's Ten Commandment
law, it's binding us as
00:21:16.68\00:21:19.49
long as time shall
last, the Sabbath you see
00:21:19.50\00:21:23.21
has lost none of
it's meaning at all.
00:21:23.22\00:21:27.48
And I hope it hasn't to
you. How is, how are you,
00:21:27.49\00:21:33.41
how are you matching
up to, to what God is
00:21:33.42\00:21:36.58
calling you to do today.
Are you just sitting back
00:21:36.59\00:21:39.39
and say, we have a
lot of time we don't need
00:21:39.40\00:21:40.87
to worry about
it. Listen, God said,
00:21:40.88\00:21:44.75
His Sabbath is still,
still a sign between Him
00:21:44.76\00:21:47.22
and us today. And
if you are His people,
00:21:47.23\00:21:50.17
if you are one of
His children today
00:21:50.18\00:21:51.83
we need to march in
line, we need to get
00:21:51.84\00:21:54.36
in line, we need to
have our whole armor on,
00:21:54.37\00:21:56.97
and we need to
say, God here I am.
00:21:56.98\00:21:58.76
Where would you
have me to go, what would
00:21:58.77\00:22:00.18
you have me to do?
Now, remember this is
00:22:00.19\00:22:03.28
a warning; a
warning needs to be given
00:22:03.29\00:22:05.15
from time-to-time.
And there's a warning
00:22:05.16\00:22:07.08
because the lot of
pastors don't think
00:22:07.09\00:22:08.62
they're quite so
accountable as maybe
00:22:08.63\00:22:10.46
other people are,
you're much more accountable,
00:22:10.47\00:22:12.55
but some of you are
in the pulpit you're,
00:22:12.56\00:22:14.27
you're teaching
lies, you're preaching lies
00:22:14.28\00:22:16.24
and you're living a
lie. Now, God would have
00:22:16.25\00:22:19.26
us to, to come to up
to grips come in front
00:22:19.27\00:22:21.73
line and say, look
God here I, here I am.
00:22:21.74\00:22:24.10
You know, we need to
be tested and we need
00:22:24.11\00:22:25.70
to be proved. See,
our acceptance pastors,
00:22:25.71\00:22:29.80
teachers, church
members, our acceptance
00:22:29.81\00:22:32.57
with God is not
just, just outward show,
00:22:32.58\00:22:36.04
there are a lot of outward show,
00:22:36.05\00:22:37.68
that's all this world
is, it seem like with TV
00:22:37.69\00:22:39.74
and everything goes
on, they're just shows,
00:22:39.75\00:22:41.76
all make believe,
but our acceptance with
00:22:41.77\00:22:44.81
God does not,
doesn't have to do anything
00:22:44.82\00:22:46.63
with outward show,
but our faithfulness
00:22:46.64\00:22:49.37
and our
discharge of what? Of duty,
00:22:49.38\00:22:52.14
God accepts you not
because all of these
00:22:52.15\00:22:55.05
big parade and pomp
of all the big church
00:22:55.06\00:22:57.45
and lot of
followers and lot of people
00:22:57.46\00:22:59.35
maybe amazed by
certain things has
00:22:59.36\00:23:01.53
nothing to do with
that, but listen pastor
00:23:01.54\00:23:03.49
are you
faithful to your calling?
00:23:03.50\00:23:05.37
Are you
faithful? Call to, to duty.
00:23:07.82\00:23:11.07
Let me just give a
little illustration here
00:23:11.08\00:23:13.60
some people say,
what was Aaron's sin,
00:23:13.61\00:23:16.55
do you remember? Talk a
lot about, lot of thing,
00:23:16.56\00:23:19.21
but Aaron sinned;
when you talk about Aaron
00:23:19.22\00:23:20.72
sinned, oh! He, he
made the golden calf.
00:23:20.73\00:23:23.62
Aaron's sin dear
friends boils down
00:23:23.63\00:23:26.55
to the sin of
neglect, the sin of neglect.
00:23:26.56\00:23:30.81
Now, think about that
one for a moment, what?
00:23:30.82\00:23:34.35
Because he did not
stand firm for truth.
00:23:34.36\00:23:38.08
Some of you say, well
there is no wells today,
00:23:38.09\00:23:41.80
that's just a big hole
in the ground, isn't it?
00:23:41.81\00:23:43.93
But we're talking about
here that sin of neglect
00:23:43.94\00:23:46.58
and if it was not but
if he stood for truth there
00:23:46.59\00:23:49.35
would have been no
golden calf, but there
00:23:49.36\00:23:52.37
was. How many of us,
how many us have failed,
00:23:52.38\00:23:58.11
how many us we've
neglected to do that
00:23:58.12\00:24:00.56
which God has asked us to do.
00:24:00.57\00:24:02.99
See, the world's
becoming more and more
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.23
and more lawless,
there is tension between
00:24:05.24\00:24:08.05
nations now, are you sensing it?
00:24:08.06\00:24:10.44
And a little
threatenings here, and little
00:24:10.45\00:24:12.19
threatenings over
there, Jesus said,
00:24:12.20\00:24:13.41
there be wars and
rumors of war, you know
00:24:13.42\00:24:15.32
from Iran to
Iraq and South Korea,
00:24:15.33\00:24:17.49
and North Korea,
United States, you name it,
00:24:17.50\00:24:19.61
and China, just to name
a few, there is tension,
00:24:19.62\00:24:22.66
there is war, there is poverty.
00:24:22.67\00:24:25.32
The science tell us
that it's, that we need to be
00:24:25.33\00:24:28.12
giving this message of warning.
00:24:28.13\00:24:30.20
In fact, let me say
you this we should have
00:24:30.21\00:24:32.73
already been home,
we should have already
00:24:32.74\00:24:35.59
been in the Kingdom,
we've been here a long
00:24:35.60\00:24:38.02
time. Why are
we've been here so long?
00:24:38.03\00:24:40.53
What's the
problem, when we should have
00:24:40.54\00:24:42.66
already been in
home, somebody say,
00:24:42.67\00:24:44.59
well I don't know
how you come up just,
00:24:44.60\00:24:46.49
just fasten your
seat belts a little bit,
00:24:46.50\00:24:48.22
we're gonna discuss
that. It's very, very
00:24:48.23\00:24:50.77
important, see it's
not always everybody else,
00:24:50.78\00:24:53.36
I know it's in the
church, it's always
00:24:53.37\00:24:55.01
the pastor did wrong
or, some of the church
00:24:55.02\00:24:57.25
members or the
elders, somebody did something
00:24:57.26\00:24:59.50
wrong, we're always
trying to blame somebody else.
00:24:59.51\00:25:01.98
How about look
at yourself today?
00:25:01.99\00:25:03.53
We need to look
closely at our self,
00:25:03.54\00:25:06.34
the Bible is very
clear in Psalms chapter 26
00:25:06.35\00:25:09.47
verse 2 it said,
"Examine me O Lord,
00:25:09.48\00:25:13.77
and prove me."
"Examine me, O Lord
00:25:13.78\00:25:17.24
and prove me." How
many can really say
00:25:17.25\00:25:19.46
that from the bottom of
their heart today is to,
00:25:19.47\00:25:21.98
and faith look up to
God and say, God examine me,
00:25:21.99\00:25:25.30
the God that knows
everything in the mind,
00:25:25.31\00:25:27.08
God that knows
everything has been
00:25:27.09\00:25:28.45
going on in their
life, every secret thought,
00:25:28.46\00:25:30.63
everything just
going on, and say prove me.
00:25:30.64\00:25:33.23
How many of us
could really do that today
00:25:33.24\00:25:35.68
with confidence
and assurance that God
00:25:35.69\00:25:37.54
would say, well done,
thou good and faithful
00:25:37.55\00:25:40.06
servant. How many of
us could do that today?
00:25:40.07\00:25:43.38
Second Corinthians
13:5, the Bible says
00:25:43.39\00:25:48.82
we need to examine
our self to see whether
00:25:48.83\00:25:51.52
that you be where,
that you be in the faith,
00:25:51.53\00:25:53.86
or could be true to
what? To our calling.
00:25:53.87\00:25:56.98
Are you true to your
calling? Examine yourself
00:25:56.99\00:25:59.62
not somebody else. Too
many of you got this look
00:25:59.63\00:26:02.28
Roman eye, you're
looking everybody else,
00:26:02.29\00:26:03.95
you need to be
looking at yourself,
00:26:03.96\00:26:05.33
I need to be looking at myself.
00:26:05.34\00:26:07.09
Beautiful book
Education page 264 makes
00:26:07.10\00:26:10.60
this comment, listen carefully.
00:26:10.61\00:26:12.18
It said, "He has
put it in our power,
00:26:12.19\00:26:14.79
through cooperation
with Him, to bring this
00:26:14.80\00:26:18.24
scene of misery to an
end." What does that mean?
00:26:18.25\00:26:22.19
He's put it
where? In our power, the
00:26:22.20\00:26:24.67
cooperation of what?
Divinity? To bring the
00:26:24.68\00:26:28.01
scene of misery.
This is what His life is,
00:26:28.02\00:26:30.14
do you get it?
As we end the year,
00:26:30.15\00:26:33.23
begin a New Year
people say, oh! I said,
00:26:33.24\00:26:35.45
Lord we're gonna
have a good time,
00:26:35.46\00:26:36.43
everything is gonna
be great, everything
00:26:36.44\00:26:38.14
is gonna be
wonderful, we're just thinking
00:26:38.15\00:26:39.73
about a good time,
we're just thinking about
00:26:39.74\00:26:41.80
parting, we
cooperate with the Holy Spirit
00:26:41.81\00:26:45.53
and say, we bring
this scene of misery
00:26:45.54\00:26:47.41
to an end. Does it that
harmonized with scripture?
00:26:47.42\00:26:50.26
You better believe
it. Second Peter chapter 3
00:26:50.27\00:26:53.25
verse 12 the Bible
says, looking for and do what?
00:26:53.26\00:26:56.21
Good, hastening unto
the coming of the Lord.
00:26:56.22\00:27:00.04
He said, I've told
that we can hasten the
00:27:00.05\00:27:01.86
coming of the Lord.
When our characters, right?
00:27:01.87\00:27:04.64
Character, there's
character work that
00:27:04.65\00:27:06.06
needs to be done and
God is working on you
00:27:06.07\00:27:09.19
and He is working on
me, He is begun a work,
00:27:09.20\00:27:10.69
He's going to finish.
Let's read two statements
00:27:10.70\00:27:13.22
those of you be
familiar with this and those
00:27:13.23\00:27:15.27
you won't, I want
you just to think,
00:27:15.28\00:27:16.96
let the Holy Spirit
speak to your heart,
00:27:16.97\00:27:19.06
see whether to,
don't just put up that wall
00:27:19.07\00:27:21.27
everytime you hear
something that maybe
00:27:21.28\00:27:22.55
you don't understand.
And just start to say,
00:27:22.56\00:27:24.89
oh! I don't want to
hear it, let me tell you,
00:27:24.90\00:27:26.37
that's the sin of
ages; the sin today dear
00:27:26.38\00:27:29.27
friend is the sin
of neglect, the sin of
00:27:29.28\00:27:31.49
putting up a wall,
when God doesn't put up
00:27:31.50\00:27:33.21
the wall. It's when
God gives the light and
00:27:33.22\00:27:35.65
you refuse that
light and you say,
00:27:35.66\00:27:37.72
well that's not
what my church teaches,
00:27:37.73\00:27:39.42
that's not what
the pastor told me.
00:27:39.43\00:27:40.94
Listen friends, go to
the Bible and see what
00:27:40.95\00:27:42.47
God's told you?
See, how God speaking to
00:27:42.48\00:27:44.85
your heart today? It's
not was some denomination
00:27:44.86\00:27:47.12
says, not was some
preacher says, study
00:27:47.13\00:27:49.92
to show by self
approve is what, is what the
00:27:49.93\00:27:52.16
Bible says today.
I want you to sense
00:27:52.17\00:27:54.10
the urgency what I
am talking about today,
00:27:54.11\00:27:56.31
don't rely on somebody
else for your salvation.
00:27:56.32\00:27:58.65
Desire of Ages page
6:33 and 34, we read those
00:27:58.66\00:28:03.27
there. This book you
everyone want to read
00:28:03.28\00:28:05.07
about the life of Jesus Christ.
00:28:05.08\00:28:06.67
Get your hands on it,
you can't get your hands,
00:28:06.68\00:28:09.34
how about given us a
call, we can try to help you.
00:28:09.35\00:28:11.86
This is so
important. Had the church,
00:28:11.87\00:28:15.93
listen to this quote.
"Had the church of Christ
00:28:15.94\00:28:18.40
done her appointed
work as the Lord ordained,
00:28:18.41\00:28:22.16
the whole world
would before this have been
00:28:22.17\00:28:24.62
warned, and the Lord
Jesus would have come
00:28:24.63\00:28:28.12
to our earth in
power and great glory."
00:28:28.13\00:28:31.10
We have disappointed our Lord.
00:28:31.11\00:28:33.02
You have to appoint
a friend, oh! He did it
00:28:33.03\00:28:35.92
and she did, we have
disappointed our Lord
00:28:35.93\00:28:38.49
because we have sinned because
00:28:38.50\00:28:40.27
we nailed Him on the cross.
00:28:40.28\00:28:41.69
He could have come
here a long time ago;
00:28:41.70\00:28:44.57
we could have been
in heaven right now.
00:28:44.58\00:28:46.72
In other word
we'll quickly moving on
00:28:46.73\00:28:48.40
Evangelism 695 and
6. I hope you have,
00:28:48.41\00:28:51.97
that's a good book by
the way Evangelism 695
00:28:51.98\00:28:55.43
and 6 says, this
is written in 1901.
00:28:55.44\00:28:57.79
It says, "We may
have to remain here
00:28:57.80\00:28:59.64
in this world because of what?
00:28:59.65\00:29:01.83
Insubordination many more years,
00:29:01.84\00:29:04.86
as did the
children of Israel, how sad?
00:29:04.87\00:29:07.33
But for Christ's
sake, His people should not
00:29:07.34\00:29:10.72
add sin to sin by
charging God with the
00:29:10.73\00:29:14.38
consequences of their
own wrong course of action."
00:29:14.39\00:29:18.38
Did you get that?
Are you getting it today?
00:29:21.20\00:29:24.24
Am I really getting
this? We could have already
00:29:24.25\00:29:26.67
been there, we can
hastened the coming of God,
00:29:26.68\00:29:29.22
we could have done
that, but we're not there
00:29:29.23\00:29:30.84
because what?
We're in subordination,
00:29:30.85\00:29:32.96
we're disobeying
God. Quit blaming God for
00:29:32.97\00:29:39.04
everything dear
friend, and it's your course
00:29:39.05\00:29:41.21
of action. Now, here
that all and all the time.
00:29:41.22\00:29:43.29
Well, it somebody
did the, somebody, listen
00:29:43.30\00:29:45.45
it's always
bottom line your choice,
00:29:45.46\00:29:47.92
life is made up of,
of choices and decisions
00:29:47.93\00:29:51.65
that you have to make,
we need to be make them
00:29:51.66\00:29:55.43
and every choice,
every decision that you make,
00:29:55.44\00:29:57.97
dear friends can
count for something positive
00:29:57.98\00:29:59.86
or something negative, negative.
00:29:59.87\00:30:01.56
When the Bible speaks
as far as I'm concerned,
00:30:01.57\00:30:03.62
when the Bible
speaks it's clear.
00:30:03.63\00:30:05.87
I don't have to
understand everything about it,
00:30:05.88\00:30:08.52
but when God's word
is so clear that you can
00:30:08.53\00:30:10.62
just reach in and
there is no debate
00:30:10.63\00:30:12.59
what it says, Jesus
said, if you love me,
00:30:12.60\00:30:14.91
you keep them
and people say, yeah
00:30:14.92\00:30:16.60
but you don't have
to, what's wrong with you?
00:30:16.61\00:30:18.60
What's wrong with
me? You say, man he is
00:30:18.61\00:30:22.33
getting all to that,
you better believe it, why?
00:30:22.34\00:30:25.50
Because your life,
your soul is in jeopardy
00:30:25.51\00:30:29.20
because that want you
maybe, you've been told
00:30:29.21\00:30:31.17
because you're not
been reading for yourself.
00:30:31.18\00:30:33.51
You realize that, as
you, as you study the Bible,
00:30:33.52\00:30:37.15
as you notice that
nations there is a time
00:30:37.16\00:30:39.90
of probation ins
for nations and another
00:30:39.91\00:30:42.39
nation comes,
you remember Babylon,
00:30:42.40\00:30:44.37
Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome.
00:30:44.38\00:30:45.98
Let me read you a
couple of quotes about
00:30:45.99\00:30:47.40
these things and then
it gets very personal,
00:30:47.41\00:30:49.47
it comes down to
us. What if you knew,
00:30:49.48\00:30:52.68
what if you knew
today that you just had
00:30:52.69\00:30:54.39
a certain amount
of time? The probation
00:30:54.40\00:30:56.54
was going to close for
you. How would you act?
00:30:56.55\00:30:59.39
What would you do? What
would you do differently
00:30:59.40\00:31:01.60
that you're doing
right now. Five Testimonies
00:31:01.61\00:31:04.18
page 208, notice this,
this by here is a sobering
00:31:04.19\00:31:08.47
thought, "With
unerring accuracy the Infinite
00:31:08.48\00:31:12.13
One still keeps an
account of all nations."
00:31:12.14\00:31:15.22
There is what
makes me feel good in the
00:31:15.23\00:31:16.83
world that live, and
live in today that God is
00:31:16.84\00:31:19.01
still on the
throne, nothing happens less
00:31:19.02\00:31:21.25
God gives approval,
he is keeping accurate
00:31:21.26\00:31:24.50
account of what? Of all nations,
00:31:24.51\00:31:26.54
"While His mercy
is tendered, notice He
00:31:26.55\00:31:29.31
is tendered, right?
With the calls of repentance,
00:31:29.32\00:31:32.64
this account will remain open."
00:31:32.65\00:31:35.53
As long as there
is people responding
00:31:35.54\00:31:38.26
what to the Holy
Spirit the account will remain
00:31:38.27\00:31:41.24
open, "But when the
figures, listen, when the
00:31:41.25\00:31:45.19
figures have reach
a certain amount which
00:31:45.20\00:31:48.66
God has fixed, the
ministry of His wrath
00:31:48.67\00:31:52.60
commences." God has
given a certain time,
00:31:52.61\00:31:57.02
had you seen that in, in
prophecy? Oh! Absolutely,
00:31:57.03\00:31:59.85
and that's for us
today. When it reached,
00:31:59.86\00:32:03.69
when people you know,
no longer wanna listen
00:32:03.70\00:32:05.90
to God and we no
longer want to be obedient
00:32:05.91\00:32:07.89
to God, there is a
time here, he count,
00:32:07.90\00:32:10.53
but the figures
reach a certain amount you
00:32:10.54\00:32:12.65
notice that that God
has fixed and then what?
00:32:12.66\00:32:15.55
His wrath begins
to be poured out.
00:32:15.56\00:32:17.75
I wish to had a lot of
more time today because I,
00:32:17.76\00:32:19.71
I, you, you, you
don't, you some of you say,
00:32:19.72\00:32:21.50
well I don't
know about you know,
00:32:21.51\00:32:22.58
God loves us so much,
there's not going to be
00:32:22.59\00:32:24.50
His wrath, is not
going to be poured out.
00:32:24.51\00:32:26.59
Let me just give you
a just a few passages,
00:32:26.60\00:32:28.54
let's just use to
me looking them up,
00:32:28.55\00:32:29.96
you can do it for yourself.
00:32:29.97\00:32:31.29
You can do a little
homework, just start out,
00:32:31.30\00:32:33.36
just in a Book of
Revelation it's all over
00:32:33.37\00:32:35.00
the Bible, but
Revelation chapter 6
00:32:35.01\00:32:37.35
you can read verse 17.
You can read Revelation
00:32:37.36\00:32:40.71
chapter 15,
read the whole thing,
00:32:40.72\00:32:42.47
especially verses 1 and verses 7
00:32:42.48\00:32:44.87
because it talks
about there is a time
00:32:44.88\00:32:46.80
when of the wrath of
God is going to be poured
00:32:46.81\00:32:49.58
out and it's going
to be without mixtures,
00:32:49.59\00:32:51.76
it's gonna be no
mercy, where approaching
00:32:51.77\00:32:54.17
that time, time is
running out on this nation
00:32:54.18\00:32:57.48
that we live in
today, on this world that
00:32:57.49\00:32:59.85
we live in, and
when it runs out you see,
00:32:59.86\00:33:02.23
then what? Bible says,
disaster begins to strike,
00:33:02.24\00:33:06.08
wrath commences.
How about Revelation 16,
00:33:06.09\00:33:08.61
we're talking about
plagues being poured out,
00:33:08.62\00:33:10.41
how about
Revelation 19:15, read those
00:33:10.42\00:33:13.30
passage of scripture.
How about Revelation 19
00:33:13.31\00:33:16.11
verses 4 through
6? Read these verses
00:33:16.12\00:33:19.65
you'll be convinced
just a few it here that
00:33:19.66\00:33:22.30
God's wrath is being
poured out and it will
00:33:22.31\00:33:24.91
continue to get
worse right because we're
00:33:24.92\00:33:27.23
disobeying a direct
command that God has
00:33:27.24\00:33:29.78
given us. Prophets and
Kings another beautiful
00:33:29.79\00:33:33.20
book page 417 says,
"There is a limit, notice,
00:33:33.21\00:33:36.52
which the judgments
of Jehovah can no longer
00:33:36.53\00:33:40.56
delayed." I don't
think some of you got there.
00:33:40.57\00:33:43.52
"There is a limit
beyond which the judgments
00:33:43.53\00:33:46.38
of Jehovah can no
longer, what can no
00:33:46.39\00:33:49.87
longer delayed."
Otherwise there is a time,
00:33:49.88\00:33:51.55
there is a time span
and once that's been reached
00:33:51.56\00:33:54.29
that's it.
Prophets and Kings 276 says,
00:33:54.30\00:33:58.35
"God allows men a
period of probation;
00:33:58.36\00:34:01.21
and gets closer to
home, we've been talking
00:34:01.22\00:34:02.84
about nations. Now,
gets closer to home it says,
00:34:02.85\00:34:05.54
God allows man a
period of probation,
00:34:05.55\00:34:08.57
but there is a point
upon which the divine
00:34:08.58\00:34:11.69
patience is
exhausted, and the judgments of
00:34:11.70\00:34:15.59
God are sure to follow."
You think you're getting
00:34:15.60\00:34:18.36
away with some things today.
00:34:18.37\00:34:19.69
You think oh well,
out this happen and
00:34:19.70\00:34:21.69
I'm doing this
and nothing is happen
00:34:21.70\00:34:23.12
to six months, a
year, two years, five years,
00:34:23.13\00:34:25.37
eight years, down the
road, I'm going to get
00:34:25.38\00:34:27.01
away with it, be
sure your sins will find
00:34:27.02\00:34:29.32
you out that's
what the Bible tells us.
00:34:29.33\00:34:31.00
God's keeping
an accurate record;
00:34:31.01\00:34:34.08
there is a point
beyond which diving patience
00:34:34.09\00:34:39.57
is exhausted. Let's
do a a little closer to
00:34:39.58\00:34:42.66
home about this country maybe,
00:34:42.67\00:34:43.97
so we did United
States of America,
00:34:43.98\00:34:45.72
listen to first
one Testimony 363 says,
00:34:45.73\00:34:50.06
"The wrath of God,
which has so long slumbered."
00:34:50.07\00:34:53.51
See because this in Old
Testament times you see,
00:34:53.52\00:34:56.04
many time God
acted just like that boy
00:34:56.05\00:34:58.00
and I tell you
judgment fail, but because it's
00:34:58.01\00:35:00.20
slumbered, in other
words God's not reacting
00:35:00.21\00:35:01.81
immediately like He
did in Old Testament times.
00:35:01.82\00:35:04.49
Notice, "The wrath of
God, which has so long
00:35:04.50\00:35:07.36
slumbered will, will
awake and the land of light
00:35:07.37\00:35:11.53
will drink the cup
of His unmingled wrath."
00:35:11.54\00:35:15.51
Oh! Friend, are we
listening to that today?
00:35:15.52\00:35:18.11
The land of light
United States of America will
00:35:18.12\00:35:22.22
drink the cup of the
unmingled wrath, why?
00:35:22.23\00:35:25.65
Because we thrown
him out of everything
00:35:25.66\00:35:27.51
and trying to
throwing now what's, maybe
00:35:27.52\00:35:29.28
still and we tried
throw him out of that.
00:35:29.29\00:35:30.85
How do we think a
nation can prosper?
00:35:30.86\00:35:34.19
It only prospers as
we're obedient to God
00:35:34.20\00:35:37.41
and that we rely upon God.
00:35:37.42\00:35:39.61
Time is running
out, see we're not saved
00:35:39.62\00:35:44.28
today unless we're
waiting and watching.
00:35:44.29\00:35:46.99
Are you watching, are
you signs of the times
00:35:47.00\00:35:49.19
of the things that are going on?
00:35:49.20\00:35:51.09
May I just be bold
today; there is only
00:35:51.10\00:35:53.29
one group of
people, only one group of
00:35:53.30\00:35:55.80
people, to my
knowledge in the world,
00:35:55.81\00:35:57.41
who is lifting
up the law of God.
00:35:57.42\00:35:59.44
All Ten Commandments,
are you still there?
00:35:59.45\00:36:02.01
Only one group of people.
00:36:02.02\00:36:04.51
Lot of people say,
well I'm lifting up
00:36:04.52\00:36:06.64
eight of them, nine
of them, that's not good
00:36:06.65\00:36:08.89
enough all ten,
only one group of people,
00:36:08.90\00:36:11.91
there's only one
group of people in the world
00:36:11.92\00:36:14.64
that's presenting
Jesus, that spotless Lamb
00:36:14.65\00:36:17.36
of God that takes
away the sins of the world
00:36:17.37\00:36:20.46
or the preaching the
message like this victory
00:36:20.47\00:36:23.05
over sin. Victory
over sin, righteousness by
00:36:23.06\00:36:26.98
faith, health
message. Friend you realize,
00:36:26.99\00:36:30.54
there is only one
group of people in the world
00:36:30.55\00:36:32.19
that's doing presenting
the Three Angels Message
00:36:32.20\00:36:34.71
to go into all the
world and then Jesus is
00:36:34.72\00:36:37.10
going to come, it's
deals with our, our character,
00:36:37.11\00:36:40.09
a being like Jesus,
power of the Holy Spirit,
00:36:40.10\00:36:42.84
there is only
one group of people.
00:36:42.85\00:36:46.19
Listen, I'm warning
you to be true to your
00:36:46.20\00:36:48.04
calling. And some of
you know exactly what
00:36:48.05\00:36:50.59
I'm talking about,
others would be back or bind,
00:36:50.60\00:36:52.94
some will be discourage,
I don't want to do that
00:36:52.95\00:36:54.93
here, but I want
you to see the urgency
00:36:54.94\00:36:56.79
true to your calling today.
00:36:56.80\00:36:58.46
Only one group of
people who are standing
00:36:58.47\00:37:00.73
in the breach,
there is only one group of
00:37:00.74\00:37:02.54
people making up the
hedge, building up the
00:37:02.55\00:37:05.38
old waste places,
as Isaiah 58:12 and
00:37:05.39\00:37:08.84
13 talks about.
Friend, are you one of those
00:37:08.85\00:37:13.26
today? There's
only one group of people
00:37:13.27\00:37:16.46
that's doing it
in the world today,
00:37:16.47\00:37:18.47
but this is the
message of truth,
00:37:18.48\00:37:21.57
we must be
careful. Some of you are
00:37:21.58\00:37:24.00
backbiting among the movement,
00:37:24.01\00:37:26.25
some of you trying
to camouflage certain
00:37:26.26\00:37:28.73
things in the
movement today, you'll be
00:37:28.74\00:37:30.69
careful because
you're fighting against God
00:37:30.70\00:37:32.74
that you will not
win. We need to be careful.
00:37:32.75\00:37:35.57
How we deal with the
only people in the world
00:37:35.58\00:37:39.25
that's fulfilling
the description given in
00:37:39.26\00:37:41.63
the Bible found in
Revelation chapter 12
00:37:41.64\00:37:44.10
verse 17, a
remnant people who what?
00:37:44.11\00:37:47.00
Keep the
commandments of God and have the
00:37:47.01\00:37:48.87
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:37:48.88\00:37:50.36
And we fight among
ourselves shame on us,
00:37:50.37\00:37:53.85
be careful how we
treat these people?
00:37:53.86\00:37:57.77
Five Testimonies 381,
listen the Lord has made
00:37:57.78\00:38:04.68
us depositories of
His law. He's entrusted
00:38:04.69\00:38:08.71
His Ten
Commandment law to a people,
00:38:08.72\00:38:10.49
like He did Israel,
like He did the Jews,
00:38:10.50\00:38:12.50
they were unfaithful
and He passed it on the
00:38:12.51\00:38:15.89
New Testament Church.
And they're identified by
00:38:15.90\00:38:18.38
keeping all of God's command,
00:38:18.39\00:38:19.94
all ten including
the Seventh-day Sabbath,
00:38:19.95\00:38:21.98
by His grace
naturally in His strength
00:38:21.99\00:38:24.45
we can't do it on our
own, but he's entrusted
00:38:24.46\00:38:27.30
these to, things
He wrote with His own
00:38:27.31\00:38:29.33
finger, He's
committed to us sacred
00:38:29.34\00:38:33.80
and eternal truths,
which we are to give,
00:38:33.81\00:38:38.85
to give others
faithful, faithful warnings
00:38:38.86\00:38:41.71
and reproves and encouragement.
00:38:41.72\00:38:44.04
He is entrusted as
to give these and when
00:38:44.05\00:38:47.31
you give a warning,
friend you're not up
00:38:47.32\00:38:49.02
here and saying, well
I tell you I think some,
00:38:49.03\00:38:50.59
look and say, look
it's going to happen,
00:38:50.60\00:38:52.00
it's happening right
now, the bottom is about
00:38:52.01\00:38:54.91
to fall off, fall
out of thing, I tell you,
00:38:54.92\00:38:57.24
you're going to put
yourself in trouble.
00:38:57.25\00:38:59.06
It's a warning which
most people don't want
00:39:01.21\00:39:03.26
to hear because
it kind of wakes them
00:39:03.27\00:39:04.81
up a little bit, they
don't want to hear it.
00:39:04.82\00:39:06.84
You talk about the
Three Angels Message,
00:39:08.92\00:39:11.12
you realize what,
what, what encompass
00:39:11.13\00:39:13.10
you're talking about
Three Angels Message?
00:39:13.11\00:39:14.81
In Letters 17, 9,
1900, I just read part of it
00:39:14.82\00:39:18.04
right here it says,
the Angels, there is Angels
00:39:18.05\00:39:20.22
flying where? In
the midst of heaven,
00:39:20.23\00:39:21.98
there's Three
Angels flying, the Three
00:39:21.99\00:39:23.39
Messages, notice
here it says, those
00:39:23.40\00:39:25.25
Three Angels
represent those who what?
00:39:25.26\00:39:27.99
Those who receive
the true and that with
00:39:28.00\00:39:31.33
power give what?
The Gospel to the world,
00:39:31.34\00:39:35.29
it's the people the
Angels that represent what?
00:39:35.30\00:39:37.82
They're giving a
message to the world with power.
00:39:37.83\00:39:40.63
The message we have to
give today dear friends
00:39:40.64\00:39:43.68
has be a powerful
message that's given
00:39:43.69\00:39:46.05
by the Holy Spirit
of God to wake us up
00:39:46.06\00:39:49.31
because we're so sleepy.
00:39:49.32\00:39:50.79
You realize
there's the importance of
00:39:50.80\00:39:53.33
giving this
message, you're right,
00:39:53.34\00:39:54.68
message is so
important that we, we have to,
00:39:54.69\00:39:57.04
to give the world
today, if you just allow me,
00:39:57.05\00:39:59.75
just indulge me
a little bit here.
00:39:59.76\00:40:01.53
Some times I'm going
to say, this is not the
00:40:01.54\00:40:03.40
topic for today because we have
00:40:03.41\00:40:04.74
to be true to our
calling, part of true
00:40:04.75\00:40:06.99
to our calling you
simply this dear friends,
00:40:07.00\00:40:08.85
we have to give the
Three Angels Message,
00:40:08.86\00:40:11.16
we have to give them
all three, and the promises,
00:40:11.17\00:40:16.69
or the power to
accompany these message
00:40:16.70\00:40:18.44
dear friend is promise
to us, you have your Bible
00:40:18.45\00:40:21.26
you turn to
Revelation 13, give you just a
00:40:21.27\00:40:23.31
little example.
Revelation chapter 13,
00:40:23.32\00:40:26.33
now as we read verses
7 and 8, why the urgency,
00:40:26.34\00:40:29.82
why the importance?
Well, somebody said,
00:40:29.83\00:40:32.04
well I've read it
many times before,
00:40:32.05\00:40:33.81
why don't want to read it again?
00:40:33.82\00:40:35.47
Revelation 13
verses 7 and 8. Bible says,
00:40:35.48\00:40:39.90
"It was given unto
him to make war with the
00:40:39.91\00:40:41.70
saints, talking
about the beast power,
00:40:41.71\00:40:44.20
do you get it? It
was given to him to,
00:40:44.21\00:40:46.31
to make war with
the saints, to overcome
00:40:46.32\00:40:48.88
them: persecute
and to kill them,
00:40:48.89\00:40:50.73
power was given to
him over all kindreds,
00:40:50.74\00:40:53.37
and tongues, and nations."
00:40:53.38\00:40:54.99
And here's what
happened verse 8,
00:40:55.00\00:40:56.66
"And all that dwell on
the earth shall worship
00:40:56.67\00:40:59.90
him." The beast then
the Third Angels Message
00:40:59.91\00:41:02.47
had to do with
worshiping, what the
00:41:02.48\00:41:04.09
beast and Mark of
the Beast, the image to
00:41:04.10\00:41:05.80
the beast and
they shall worship Him,
00:41:05.81\00:41:07.88
to get this stuff
out of our heads about
00:41:07.89\00:41:10.54
something
implanted here, something
00:41:10.55\00:41:12.17
implanted over
here, something is gonna
00:41:12.18\00:41:14.01
identify, it has to
do with our allegiance
00:41:14.02\00:41:16.60
to God, who were going
to give our allegiance to,
00:41:16.61\00:41:18.96
is it going to be the
devil, is it going to be
00:41:18.97\00:41:20.57
God? And dear
friends you can tell us,
00:41:20.58\00:41:22.64
what is going to be?
One of them has to deal
00:41:22.65\00:41:24.46
with man made
stuff, the other head deal
00:41:24.47\00:41:26.01
with what? With God.
Who is the Creator of
00:41:26.02\00:41:28.73
heaven and earth?
All because simple
00:41:28.74\00:41:32.79
when you say, who
is gonna all the world
00:41:32.80\00:41:34.34
wanted after the beast,
notice the worshiped Him.
00:41:34.35\00:41:36.60
"Whose names are not
in the book of the life
00:41:36.61\00:41:39.62
of the Lamb slain
from thee foundation of
00:41:39.63\00:41:42.11
the world?" Majority
of the world almost all
00:41:42.12\00:41:45.79
the world and
praise God, He goes on,
00:41:45.80\00:41:47.44
He tells us to, in
the Bible that there is a
00:41:47.45\00:41:50.50
group that
doesn't follow the beast.
00:41:50.51\00:41:52.60
There are those who
keep the commandments
00:41:52.61\00:41:55.81
of God. And yet
we're, we're detesting those
00:41:55.82\00:41:59.16
things today,
we're saying, no we don't
00:41:59.17\00:42:00.49
have to, we're
repelled by some other things,
00:42:00.50\00:42:02.90
we're truth in God's
word because it might
00:42:02.91\00:42:05.16
somehow affect our lifestyle.
00:42:05.17\00:42:07.10
The Bible is
clear, if you do not know,
00:42:07.11\00:42:10.62
you have to know
who the beast is,
00:42:10.63\00:42:12.12
you have to know what
the Mark of the Beast is?
00:42:12.13\00:42:13.97
Because the world
will worship the beast
00:42:13.98\00:42:15.85
or the devil and
we realize as we study
00:42:15.86\00:42:18.86
scripture there
is no doubt about it,
00:42:18.87\00:42:20.33
the beast is a
papacy, there is no doubt
00:42:20.34\00:42:22.79
about it, we don't
have time to go into,
00:42:22.80\00:42:24.75
that's not the
study, but I want to do,
00:42:24.76\00:42:26.45
if it jars you so be
it, that is the beast power,
00:42:26.46\00:42:29.48
it's very simple.
The Mark of the Beast is
00:42:29.49\00:42:32.51
simply what? The
papacy claim to change Sabbath
00:42:32.52\00:42:35.68
or seventh day of
the week, the Sunday the
00:42:35.69\00:42:37.52
first day of the
week. Let me just tell you
00:42:37.53\00:42:39.26
very clearly today,
and the anointing of the
00:42:39.27\00:42:41.90
Holy Spirit of God
that Sunday is no better,
00:42:41.91\00:42:44.07
it's a common working
day that's all that it is.
00:42:44.08\00:42:46.43
You say, wow! I don't know.
00:42:48.85\00:42:49.93
Prove it differently,
prove it differently.
00:42:49.94\00:42:56.92
The reason we're
still in this world because
00:42:58.18\00:42:59.47
you know what?
We've not been telling it,
00:42:59.48\00:43:01.57
enough to agitate
the real believer in
00:43:01.58\00:43:04.06
Jesus Christ. And
most of us are nominal,
00:43:04.07\00:43:05.80
not going to get
excited when we're there,
00:43:05.81\00:43:07.32
oh, well that's
just what somebody think.
00:43:07.33\00:43:08.81
You need to,
you'll study to show why
00:43:08.82\00:43:10.38
this is proved,
I've had it happen.
00:43:10.39\00:43:12.33
I've had people
calling it over the years
00:43:12.34\00:43:14.31
you know, videos and
different things going
00:43:14.32\00:43:16.36
out all the time,
they're calling in
00:43:16.37\00:43:17.67
and say, you
agitated me to know in,
00:43:17.68\00:43:20.52
I almost hated
this as a Christian.
00:43:20.53\00:43:22.87
We, we hated it,
but we could not resist
00:43:22.88\00:43:26.72
tuning in to see
what you had to say.
00:43:26.73\00:43:29.52
And then we wanted
to study to show how
00:43:29.53\00:43:31.38
off the wall that you
were, but we had to end
00:43:31.39\00:43:34.11
up accepting it,
there was no other way,
00:43:34.12\00:43:35.71
they were honest
heart. So, if you want to get
00:43:35.72\00:43:38.41
mad for, well go
ahead, but if you study
00:43:38.42\00:43:40.81
scripture
you're gonna get happy.
00:43:40.82\00:43:42.10
I mean it's hard
to imagine say we,
00:43:44.73\00:43:46.37
we don't understand
the, the image to the
00:43:46.38\00:43:48.43
beast because God's
wrath is going to be
00:43:48.44\00:43:50.13
poured out. The whole
world is going in that
00:43:50.14\00:43:51.62
direction, but we
don't want to know about it,
00:43:51.63\00:43:53.67
United States sets up
the image to the beast
00:43:53.68\00:43:56.06
and Sunday laws.
And yet just people who
00:43:56.07\00:44:01.30
want to hear, they
say, oh! No, why are men not
00:44:01.31\00:44:06.08
interested to
know what makes up the
00:44:06.09\00:44:08.20
Mark of the Beast or
the image to the beast?
00:44:08.21\00:44:10.57
Revelation 13:14
through 18, if I just read this
00:44:10.58\00:44:14.96
here any conviction
at all. That when the
00:44:14.97\00:44:20.29
Bible says there in
verse 15, Revelation 13
00:44:20.30\00:44:23.77
there he said, talk
about. "He had power
00:44:23.78\00:44:25.67
to give life unto
the image of the beast,
00:44:25.68\00:44:27.60
that the image of the
beast should both speak,
00:44:27.61\00:44:30.59
and cause as many
as would not worship
00:44:30.60\00:44:33.22
the image of the
beast should be killed."
00:44:33.23\00:44:35.48
You say, I don't want
to worship the image of
00:44:35.49\00:44:37.51
the beast because it
just said in the Bible there,
00:44:37.52\00:44:39.55
there in all the world
worship after the beast,
00:44:39.56\00:44:41.48
they're gonna lose
eternal life, they're not
00:44:41.49\00:44:43.14
written in the
Lambs, Book of Life, but yet
00:44:43.15\00:44:45.01
we don't want to
find out about this,
00:44:45.02\00:44:46.96
it has to do with
keeping God's commandment,
00:44:46.97\00:44:49.07
it's very simple,
the Seventh-day Sabbath
00:44:49.08\00:44:51.38
that's gonna be the great test,
00:44:51.39\00:44:53.21
some of you don't
want to hear that,
00:44:53.22\00:44:54.42
but let me just say
it, you just say, oh well,
00:44:54.43\00:44:57.88
I've never heard it
before probation closes
00:44:57.89\00:45:00.75
dear friend, before it
closes, the great tests
00:45:00.76\00:45:04.27
are still just
before the people of God.
00:45:04.28\00:45:06.52
This test must be given
Sabbath Sunday, be sure.
00:45:06.53\00:45:12.91
That you're gonna have
to decide who side that
00:45:12.92\00:45:15.36
you were on; this
test must be given before
00:45:15.37\00:45:18.47
God can seal His
people for eternity.
00:45:18.48\00:45:21.79
And it's gonna have
to what, it start to,
00:45:21.80\00:45:24.04
"He causes, verse 16,
all small, rich, poor,
00:45:24.05\00:45:27.68
bond and free to
receive a mark in their
00:45:27.69\00:45:29.52
right hand, or
in their foreheads."
00:45:29.53\00:45:30.75
Some of the books
that you see on the Mark
00:45:30.76\00:45:32.38
today, some of the
pastors on these TV shows,
00:45:32.39\00:45:34.57
I tell you they
ought to be without a job.
00:45:34.58\00:45:36.82
The horrible mess
which you're making about,
00:45:36.83\00:45:40.18
it has to do with
worship, who you're
00:45:40.19\00:45:43.03
gonna give your allegiance to.
00:45:43.04\00:45:45.16
You're gonna give to
the Creator of heaven
00:45:45.17\00:45:47.71
and earth, you're
gonna give it to men,
00:45:47.72\00:45:49.34
the 666 little horn power.
00:45:49.35\00:45:52.31
There's gonna be
a legislation image
00:45:52.32\00:45:55.71
to the beast,
you're gonna have to
00:45:55.72\00:45:57.17
decide those you to
keeping the commandments
00:45:57.18\00:45:59.36
of God, you think
it's difficult now you're
00:45:59.37\00:46:01.33
still going to have to decide.
00:46:01.34\00:46:02.97
Great test, I'm
saying right now let not the
00:46:04.26\00:46:10.24
commandment
keeping people of God be
00:46:10.25\00:46:12.84
silent at this time.
All we have to realize
00:46:12.85\00:46:17.05
what's just before
us right now is waging a
00:46:17.06\00:46:20.42
continuous war against the enemy
00:46:20.43\00:46:23.29
and it will be,
let me just say, at the
00:46:23.30\00:46:25.95
risk of imprisonment,
it will be at the risk
00:46:25.96\00:46:28.72
of paying
fines, losing property,
00:46:28.73\00:46:33.01
even life itself to
defend the law of God.
00:46:33.02\00:46:37.00
Somebody say, oh!
Somebody is off of the
00:46:37.01\00:46:39.62
deep end, oh!
Friend, get your Bible out
00:46:39.63\00:46:41.46
and ask for the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:46:41.47\00:46:42.85
to understand what
the issues of the day.
00:46:42.86\00:46:45.15
Well, there are all
with the land they can,
00:46:45.16\00:46:47.32
they can just say,
well you know, you and
00:46:47.33\00:46:49.21
now we're gonna be
worshiping on Sunday
00:46:49.22\00:46:50.78
and Seventh-day, you
can worship on anybody,
00:46:50.79\00:46:52.54
listen Psalms
talks about it, look what
00:46:52.55\00:46:55.22
Psalms 119 verse 126
said, "It is time for thee
00:46:55.23\00:47:00.47
to work, O God for
they had made void thy law."
00:47:00.48\00:47:03.69
It's time for God
to work, God will work
00:47:03.70\00:47:06.73
when they make it
void of keeping the
00:47:06.74\00:47:08.99
Seventh-day
Sabbath. Substituting it,
00:47:09.00\00:47:12.06
you see with the
first day of the week.
00:47:12.07\00:47:14.67
See God's people
are to stand firm,
00:47:14.68\00:47:18.00
we're to show that He
is God, we're to believe
00:47:18.01\00:47:21.40
and we're to trust
Him, we're to stand on the
00:47:21.41\00:47:23.52
platform of truth.
And you know what we're
00:47:23.53\00:47:25.69
to be true to our
calling. This is what
00:47:25.70\00:47:27.96
we're talking
about; true to our calling,
00:47:27.97\00:47:29.93
why you're here, what
prospect is before us,
00:47:29.94\00:47:33.20
what could happen?
The Bible is clear,
00:47:33.21\00:47:36.17
a death decree,
they should be killed
00:47:36.18\00:47:37.97
if they don't worship
the beast and his image.
00:47:37.98\00:47:40.70
You think you've got
it tough, if you think
00:47:42.59\00:47:43.98
it's bad now, most
people it's hard to
00:47:43.99\00:47:46.24
even show up, just
to show up for church,
00:47:46.25\00:47:48.01
if you don't do
anything. Friends we've got to
00:47:48.02\00:47:50.01
come out that laziness,
we've got to get serious
00:47:50.02\00:47:52.37
with God, we've got
to be praying for the
00:47:52.38\00:47:53.95
power of the Holy
Spirit, but now some
00:47:53.96\00:47:57.81
of you've never seen
or heard this and so,
00:47:57.82\00:47:59.76
it's gonna shocked
you 'cause you really
00:47:59.77\00:48:02.22
haven't done a
study and making some
00:48:02.23\00:48:03.58
big statements walk
and boy, I can back them up
00:48:03.59\00:48:06.22
with scripture. How
about those who have
00:48:06.23\00:48:10.04
not have the light on
what we've been talk about?
00:48:10.05\00:48:12.29
They never had this
subject, how is, how is
00:48:12.30\00:48:14.03
God viewing it? I read
this in Letters 7, 1895.
00:48:14.04\00:48:19.74
"So, the Lord is
working with them;
00:48:19.75\00:48:21.46
He has not left
them to their own ways,
00:48:21.47\00:48:24.90
notice there, He has
not left them to their own
00:48:24.91\00:48:27.42
ways. Until, until
they shall be convicted
00:48:27.43\00:48:31.00
of the truth, and
then, then they trample upon
00:48:31.01\00:48:34.88
it and the evidence
given to enlighten them,
00:48:34.89\00:48:37.55
the Lord will not
withdraw His grace from them."
00:48:37.56\00:48:40.04
So, He gives us the
truth and He continues
00:48:40.05\00:48:43.83
to work with us
until we begin to walk,
00:48:43.84\00:48:45.82
trample on the
truth or deny the truth,
00:48:45.83\00:48:48.60
reject the truth, we
don't need to keep the
00:48:48.61\00:48:50.80
truth what some
people are saying.
00:48:50.81\00:48:52.40
It doesn't make any
difference right now,
00:48:52.41\00:48:54.59
and then what is God
do? Oh! Dear friends,
00:48:54.60\00:48:56.58
He has to withdraw His grace.
00:48:56.59\00:48:58.88
When the warning is
given and they understand it.
00:48:58.89\00:49:02.97
Other words what, grace
until we reject the light
00:49:02.98\00:49:06.70
or the evidence
of truth. We need
00:49:06.71\00:49:09.60
evidence of
truth, but you know what?
00:49:09.61\00:49:11.21
It is so difficult to
get anyway somebody to say,
00:49:11.22\00:49:16.55
I want to study the
Bible. We have people show up
00:49:16.56\00:49:21.13
at church one week
and, wow! We're on fire
00:49:21.14\00:49:23.56
everyone, study the
word of God, you don't
00:49:23.57\00:49:25.67
see them for six
months, you don't know where
00:49:25.68\00:49:27.47
they're at? What's happened?
00:49:27.48\00:49:28.66
The devil make sure
you don't see them anymore,
00:49:28.67\00:49:31.03
they get occupied
with things of the world,
00:49:31.04\00:49:33.62
people don't want to
study the word anymore.
00:49:33.63\00:49:36.35
Friend, how we need some
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:49:36.36\00:49:40.69
Truth is truth is what
I'm reading in the Bible
00:49:40.70\00:49:44.16
here, whether we
say, we're convict,
00:49:44.17\00:49:46.22
I heard people say,
well until I'm convinced
00:49:46.23\00:49:49.07
about this thing, I'm
not going to even though
00:49:49.08\00:49:51.70
it's a very plain
thus saith the Lord.
00:49:51.71\00:49:54.30
See, some people
will say, Bible says,
00:49:54.31\00:49:56.29
Thou shalt not steal;
some people look and say,
00:49:56.30\00:49:58.53
well until I'm
convinced of it, I'm not going
00:49:58.54\00:50:00.64
to do it.
Whether you're convinced
00:50:00.65\00:50:02.36
or whether you're
not convinced of it,
00:50:02.37\00:50:03.88
it's still the truth
of God's word, God said,
00:50:03.89\00:50:06.26
Thou shalt not steal,
it's gonna take faith,
00:50:06.27\00:50:08.52
you're gonna have
to really understood,
00:50:08.53\00:50:09.66
we're gonna have to
just take Him at His,
00:50:09.67\00:50:11.41
His word. He expects
us to obey His word even
00:50:11.42\00:50:15.51
if we're not really
convinced that it is.
00:50:15.52\00:50:18.00
Holy Spirit brings
conviction absolutely.
00:50:18.01\00:50:20.50
And they'll say,
well sometime well when
00:50:20.51\00:50:23.43
I feel well, sometime
maybe I'll, I'll, I'll,
00:50:23.44\00:50:26.01
I'll feel it
and then I'll do it.
00:50:26.02\00:50:27.59
Your faith has
nothing do with your feelings.
00:50:27.60\00:50:30.06
Too many people in
life that's what it is all
00:50:30.07\00:50:32.49
about feeling and
all about me and I
00:50:32.50\00:50:34.23
and circumstances
and so on so forth.
00:50:34.24\00:50:36.55
Our salvation
depends dear friend of us
00:50:39.29\00:50:42.01
from acting from
what? Good, from principle.
00:50:42.02\00:50:44.77
Serving God from
principle, not from feeling,
00:50:44.78\00:50:48.28
not from impulse,
have you ever done that?
00:50:48.29\00:50:50.69
Do you ever like
feelings, do I think
00:50:50.70\00:50:52.43
ever since time people
we let feelings do the,
00:50:52.44\00:50:54.96
oh! Yeah, well I
say. God says, no.
00:50:54.97\00:50:58.30
Once real clear, see
we need to study the Bible
00:50:58.31\00:51:02.65
and we need to, to,
to believe it and we need
00:51:02.66\00:51:04.47
to, to obey it, the
instructions is given
00:51:04.48\00:51:07.72
in scripture
whether and always say,
00:51:07.73\00:51:10.34
you know, it
doesn't. Well you know,
00:51:10.35\00:51:12.04
we're not just friends
and what the Bible says
00:51:12.05\00:51:13.58
you know, in fact,
all scriptures given by
00:51:13.59\00:51:15.89
inspiration of God.
Then the Bible says what?
00:51:15.90\00:51:19.65
How much? All, all
scripture is given by
00:51:19.66\00:51:24.52
inspiration, then
some people Christians have
00:51:24.53\00:51:27.11
the audacity to say
that doesn't mean all.
00:51:27.12\00:51:29.71
I hope you, I want
you be little a agitated,
00:51:32.77\00:51:34.97
I want you get your
Bible out, what does,
00:51:34.98\00:51:36.47
what does all
mean? All scripture,
00:51:36.48\00:51:39.18
but we use those
things as excuses not
00:51:41.79\00:51:44.05
to be obedient to God,
friend, it's gonna cost
00:51:44.06\00:51:46.32
us at the end.
Rather than say, okay Lord,
00:51:46.33\00:51:48.86
that what it says
by your grace, by your
00:51:48.87\00:51:51.09
strength, help
me, I'll be obedient.
00:51:51.10\00:51:53.68
Our faith has to
be based on evidences
00:51:53.69\00:51:59.40
of God's word. What is
it? Our faith has to be
00:51:59.41\00:52:03.19
based upon what?
Evidences of God's word.
00:52:03.20\00:52:06.97
Oh! Let me, I think
that's good, evidence
00:52:06.98\00:52:08.88
of God's word and
that would be what?
00:52:08.89\00:52:10.56
Isaiah 20 line-upon-line,
precept-up-precept,
00:52:10.57\00:52:13.93
here a little, and
there a little for the truth.
00:52:13.94\00:52:15.90
We have so many
people come up and give
00:52:15.91\00:52:17.36
you one line; you
give them 35 texts on this,
00:52:17.37\00:52:20.87
on a given
subject. And what happens?
00:52:20.88\00:52:25.89
They try to give
you one that's not even
00:52:25.90\00:52:29.12
talking about
the subject in hand.
00:52:29.13\00:52:31.40
And they will go
with that one and,
00:52:31.41\00:52:33.47
and rule out the other
35 that are very clear,
00:52:33.48\00:52:35.77
Friend, there
is something wrong,
00:52:35.78\00:52:37.04
is the spiritual things
are spiritually discern,
00:52:37.05\00:52:38.75
what's going on?
It's our privilege;
00:52:38.76\00:52:42.15
it's our duty as
men and women of God,
00:52:42.16\00:52:43.95
to take God at
His word, to believe
00:52:43.96\00:52:47.90
Jesus as our,
our personal Savior,
00:52:47.91\00:52:50.21
to respond
immediately to His calling and
00:52:50.22\00:52:53.11
His promises. See,
God's promised over-and-over
00:52:53.12\00:52:57.01
power to those who obey Him.
00:52:57.02\00:52:59.09
We need to act faith,
we need to talk faith,
00:52:59.10\00:53:02.58
we need to, we
need to pray faith,
00:53:02.59\00:53:04.40
we need to respond
to faith, we need to
00:53:04.41\00:53:07.74
respond to, to God's
word. May I just say this,
00:53:07.75\00:53:11.78
there is no, no encouragement
00:53:11.79\00:53:15.63
in scripture for
unbelief and doubt or distrust.
00:53:15.64\00:53:21.58
Not one word in
scripture, that all
00:53:21.59\00:53:24.94
comes from what? The enemy.
00:53:24.95\00:53:26.33
We need to be
true to our calling.
00:53:26.34\00:53:28.50
We need to know that we've been,
00:53:28.51\00:53:30.14
we've been, we've
been called by God to do a,
00:53:30.15\00:53:32.43
a tremendous work
here in the last days,
00:53:32.44\00:53:34.73
His power will do it,
but you need to show up
00:53:34.74\00:53:36.79
and I need to show
up. Friend you know I,
00:53:36.80\00:53:39.90
I mentioned
this at the beginning
00:53:39.91\00:53:41.04
I'm gonna do it
right now before we have
00:53:41.05\00:53:42.18
our closing prayer in
last couple of minutes.
00:53:42.19\00:53:44.30
The sin of the age,
Oh I can hear some of
00:53:44.31\00:53:47.87
you going into
detail, all the sin, it's this
00:53:47.88\00:53:50.12
and it's this and
right here, Three Testimonies
00:53:50.13\00:53:52.16
483 says this, see
if doesn't really make
00:53:52.17\00:53:54.58
sense a lot, principle here.
00:53:54.59\00:53:56.46
"The sin of the
age is to disregard,
00:53:56.47\00:54:01.05
disregarding of
God's express commands."
00:54:01.06\00:54:04.23
The sin of the age
is what? To disregard,
00:54:04.24\00:54:07.25
disregarding
God's expressed will,
00:54:07.26\00:54:09.84
when He makes it
clear and we understand,
00:54:09.85\00:54:12.77
that's the sin of the age.
00:54:12.78\00:54:14.58
Once, one selected
messages 142 and 3 says
00:54:17.48\00:54:21.05
the sin for which
Christ disapproves,
00:54:21.06\00:54:23.71
notice this, is the
sin of rejecting evidence,
00:54:23.72\00:54:27.13
they would have
convinced them of the truth.
00:54:27.14\00:54:30.58
The sin of the age,
the one that Christ says,
00:54:30.59\00:54:33.86
all I've to, I disapprove
this, I've no, I can't
00:54:33.87\00:54:36.97
approve of it is
when I give them all this
00:54:36.98\00:54:38.94
evidence that will
convince them what truth is
00:54:38.95\00:54:41.24
and they're
throwing it out, be true to
00:54:41.25\00:54:42.95
your calling. God
says that many are called,
00:54:42.96\00:54:47.75
but few are
chosen in Matthew 22.
00:54:47.76\00:54:50.43
Have you been called
by God? Is God giving you
00:54:50.44\00:54:54.36
that specific
message here in these last
00:54:54.37\00:54:56.20
days to, to warn
the world of His,
00:54:56.21\00:54:58.02
His soon coming, to
warn about the beast
00:54:58.03\00:55:01.63
and His image and
the first and second
00:55:01.64\00:55:03.16
and Third Angel,
fear God go back,
00:55:03.17\00:55:04.94
go back to the
Sabbath, go back to keeping
00:55:04.95\00:55:06.53
all the God's
commandments having
00:55:06.54\00:55:08.06
that that character
like Jesus and when His
00:55:08.07\00:55:10.62
character is fully
reproduced in us what?
00:55:10.63\00:55:12.53
He will come back,
we need some character
00:55:12.54\00:55:14.76
adjustment I
know, but God help us.
00:55:14.77\00:55:16.73
You want to pray about
being true to your calling?
00:55:16.74\00:55:18.83
I do, I want to pray
with you before the program
00:55:18.84\00:55:20.60
closes 'cause
some of you are shocked
00:55:20.61\00:55:23.09
and we need to go the
throne of God and say,
00:55:23.10\00:55:24.85
God help us if this
be true, help me to,
00:55:24.86\00:55:27.57
help me to understand.
00:55:27.58\00:55:28.90
Let's pray about
this, shall be together?
00:55:28.91\00:55:30.58
Kind loving
Heavenly Father, we thank you
00:55:32.25\00:55:34.24
for Your word today, we
pray to your Holy Spirit,
00:55:34.25\00:55:37.10
now will encourage
those who have heard
00:55:37.11\00:55:39.16
and those who
respond to truth and majority
00:55:39.17\00:55:41.09
of the people will
won't care, but they'll be
00:55:41.10\00:55:43.02
those who are
searching the truth,
00:55:43.03\00:55:44.03
help them to find it, we pray in
00:55:44.04\00:55:45.39
the lovely name of Jesus, amen.
00:55:45.40\00:55:47.59
Friend, my
challenge today is that you be
00:55:49.07\00:55:50.69
true to your, to your calling.
00:55:50.70\00:55:52.52
And while you're at it
you know, you can call us,
00:55:52.53\00:55:55.25
if you would like
and write us and my wife
00:55:55.26\00:55:56.98
gives that
information I'm sure at the end
