Hello, I am Chris Shelton,
00:00:41.58\00:00:43.48
and welcome to
Behold the Lamb presents.
00:00:43.49\00:00:46.03
We're looking
forward to spending
00:00:46.04\00:00:47.53
this next hour with you
in a special Bible study.
00:00:47.54\00:00:51.00
Today's message is a
fourth in a five parts series
00:00:51.01\00:00:54.09
that we have entitled
00:00:54.10\00:00:55.14
"The Mystery of Iniquity,
the Antichrist Revealed.
00:00:55.15\00:00:58.93
We're calling
this fourth message
00:01:00.59\00:01:02.69
"Mystery Babylon the Great."
00:01:02.70\00:01:05.19
And let's begin our
study by reading Revelation 17
00:01:05.20\00:01:08.73
and starting with verse 4.
00:01:08.74\00:01:10.68
We'll read verses 4 through 6
00:01:10.69\00:01:12.61
where the Prophet
John was in vision.
00:01:12.62\00:01:15.43
"And the woman was arrayed
in purple and scarlet colour,
00:01:15.44\00:01:19.31
and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls,
00:01:19.32\00:01:23.54
having a golden cup in
her hand full of abomination
00:01:23.55\00:01:27.38
and filthiness
of her fornication.
00:01:27.39\00:01:30.06
And upon her
forehead was a name written,
00:01:30.07\00:01:33.33
Mystery, Babylon the Great,
00:01:33.34\00:01:35.21
the Mother of Harlots
and Abomination of the Earth.
00:01:35.22\00:01:38.97
And I saw the woman drunken
with the blood of the saints,
00:01:38.98\00:01:42.45
and with the blood
of the martyrs of Jesus.
00:01:42.46\00:01:45.11
And when I saw her,
00:01:45.12\00:01:46.27
I wondered with
great admiration."
00:01:46.28\00:01:50.11
Now, some of
you maybe wondering,
00:01:50.12\00:01:52.35
just who is this
woman with so much power
00:01:52.36\00:01:55.04
and authority and
decked with all these riches
00:01:55.05\00:01:58.69
and how off wit is
that she is depicted here,
00:01:58.70\00:02:02.04
as being drunk
with the blood of saints
00:02:02.05\00:02:04.10
and martyrs for Christ.
00:02:04.11\00:02:06.15
You know, God give us
the description of this woman
00:02:06.16\00:02:09.19
in symbolisms for us to study
00:02:09.20\00:02:11.87
and to figure out
when the time is right.
00:02:11.88\00:02:14.67
And friends, the
time has been right
00:02:14.68\00:02:16.70
for many, many years now.
00:02:16.71\00:02:18.99
So for many, she is
no longer a mystery.
00:02:19.00\00:02:21.98
And after today's program,
00:02:21.99\00:02:23.45
she should no longer be
a mystery to you either.
00:02:23.46\00:02:26.98
But before we
begin today's study
00:02:26.99\00:02:28.85
with Pastor Kenny Shelton,
00:02:28.86\00:02:30.22
let's visit the
3ABN Worship Center
00:02:30.23\00:02:32.93
and listen to a song entitled
00:02:32.94\00:02:35.17
"My Peace" as
sung by Stephanie Dawn.
00:02:35.18\00:02:38.82
My peace I give unto you
00:02:57.83\00:03:06.90
It's a peace that
the world cannot give
00:03:06.91\00:03:16.49
It's a peace that the
world cannot understand
00:03:16.50\00:03:26.38
Peace to know, peace to live
00:03:26.39\00:03:34.43
My peace I give unto you
00:03:34.44\00:03:43.78
My love I give unto you
00:04:00.97\00:04:09.66
It's a love that
the world cannot give
00:04:09.67\00:04:17.22
It's a love that the
world cannot understand
00:04:17.23\00:04:27.61
Love to know, love to live
00:04:27.62\00:04:34.90
My love I give unto you
00:04:34.91\00:04:43.54
It's a love that the
world cannot understand
00:04:43.55\00:04:51.72
My love I give unto you
00:04:51.73\00:05:07.47
Thanks for
joining us once again.
00:05:15.56\00:05:17.33
This is part four
of a five parts series
00:05:17.34\00:05:19.79
that you've already heard
00:05:19.80\00:05:21.19
that there are some
interesting subject matter.
00:05:21.20\00:05:23.53
And today I'll tell
you there's no exception,
00:05:23.54\00:05:25.57
you don't want to miss this,
00:05:25.58\00:05:27.21
so I'm gonna encourage
you to stay with us today
00:05:27.22\00:05:29.28
as we study about these
"Mystery Babylon, the Great".
00:05:29.29\00:05:33.59
Now again, this is something
that if you have not studied,
00:05:33.60\00:05:36.98
you need to stay, you
need to really study this out.
00:05:36.99\00:05:39.79
And those of you who
have bless your heart,
00:05:39.80\00:05:42.10
it might be good
to hear it again,
00:05:42.11\00:05:43.76
because I
believe the Holy Spirit
00:05:43.77\00:05:45.51
will lead and guide us into--
00:05:45.52\00:05:46.95
maybe it's opening
new avenues of truth.
00:05:46.96\00:05:49.97
But as we're searching for truth
00:05:49.98\00:05:51.59
and we want to
know what truth is,
00:05:51.60\00:05:53.64
we need to pray
about it, don't we.
00:05:53.65\00:05:55.45
So as always, we're going
to go to the Lord in prayer
00:05:55.46\00:05:58.11
and ask for heavenly wisdom.
00:05:58.12\00:05:59.84
And I ask you,
maybe where you can,
00:05:59.85\00:06:01.65
would you just kneel with me,
00:06:01.66\00:06:02.86
because I'm going over
here to kneel right now
00:06:02.87\00:06:04.40
and if you'll kneel with
me, it will be wonderful.
00:06:04.41\00:06:05.90
If you can't, still
send up a prayer right now
00:06:05.91\00:06:08.18
that the Holy
Spirit will help us
00:06:08.19\00:06:10.07
as we study the word.
00:06:10.08\00:06:11.24
Most gracious heavenly Father,
00:06:13.85\00:06:15.13
we thank you for
Your love and Your mercy,
00:06:15.14\00:06:17.03
Your long suffering with us.
00:06:17.04\00:06:18.67
Grant us that peace
that passes all understanding
00:06:18.68\00:06:21.01
as the message
today is a difficult one.
00:06:21.02\00:06:24.14
It may even
offend or hurt someone,
00:06:24.15\00:06:26.28
that's not our
thought at all that
00:06:26.29\00:06:28.81
what we want to take place,
00:06:28.82\00:06:29.91
but is a message that God
has given to his last day people
00:06:29.92\00:06:33.17
and I pray they will be faithful
00:06:33.18\00:06:34.37
in giving that message.
00:06:34.38\00:06:35.97
We need the
unction of the Holy Spirit.
00:06:35.98\00:06:37.67
I pray you'll come near
00:06:37.68\00:06:38.67
and illuminate
these beautiful truths
00:06:38.68\00:06:40.48
and help my mind to be
clear and that heaven can speak
00:06:40.49\00:06:43.27
and your children can hear
00:06:43.28\00:06:45.31
every word that's spoken
will penetrate their life
00:06:45.32\00:06:47.65
and may lives will be changed,
00:06:47.66\00:06:49.75
not only for
today but for eternity.
00:06:49.76\00:06:52.01
Fill this place I pray again
00:06:52.02\00:06:53.39
with Holy Spirit power
in Jesus precious name,
00:06:53.40\00:06:55.73
as we thank you
for every viewer,
00:06:55.74\00:06:57.20
every listener,
in Jesus name, amen.
00:06:57.21\00:06:59.57
Again you've got
to get your Bible,
00:07:02.68\00:07:03.96
because if you have it handy
that way you can follow along.
00:07:03.97\00:07:06.65
Now, I always mention
this, we have to move quickly,
00:07:06.66\00:07:09.89
so there will be lot of things
00:07:09.90\00:07:11.22
that will just I
pray that you'll go,
00:07:11.23\00:07:13.30
you'll study to
show yourself approved.
00:07:13.31\00:07:15.88
It can take time
for every, every point
00:07:15.89\00:07:17.77
and go on with
it, but sometime I do
00:07:17.78\00:07:19.61
go on and on about some things,
00:07:19.62\00:07:20.84
but I pray that
Holy Spirit wants us so
00:07:20.85\00:07:23.17
because maybe
someone's asking a question
00:07:23.18\00:07:25.08
or they need to
understand some of these things.
00:07:25.09\00:07:27.67
Today we'll talk about
"Mystery Babylon the Great"
00:07:27.68\00:07:30.19
and there is a lot of coverage
before we even get into that
00:07:30.20\00:07:32.91
and lead over into
our next lesson too.
00:07:32.92\00:07:36.21
But last time part
three, I like to go,
00:07:36.22\00:07:38.12
you say you missed it,
00:07:38.13\00:07:39.37
then we go over
quickly just about,
00:07:39.38\00:07:40.64
oh, I jotted down eight points
00:07:40.65\00:07:42.39
that I'd like share with
you that we studied last time.
00:07:42.40\00:07:45.50
So we will help you to gear
00:07:45.51\00:07:46.88
as we study our
lesson for today.
00:07:46.89\00:07:49.19
First, last time
we discovered this.
00:07:49.20\00:07:51.60
Number one, that these power,
00:07:51.61\00:07:53.87
little horn
power, the antichrist,
00:07:53.88\00:07:56.02
the mystery of
iniquity need to exposed,
00:07:56.03\00:07:58.13
so that's priority
needs to be exposed.
00:07:58.14\00:07:59.95
Point number two, the
whole world is bewitched
00:07:59.96\00:08:04.11
by this
organization or this power.
00:08:04.12\00:08:07.96
Point number three,
00:08:07.97\00:08:09.79
new truth is never
independent of old.
00:08:09.80\00:08:14.03
Fourth point that we looked at
00:08:14.07\00:08:15.72
listen carefully the
devil join the church,
00:08:15.73\00:08:19.70
interesting thought isn't it.
00:08:19.71\00:08:21.36
Number five, compromise,
compromise between Paganism
00:08:21.37\00:08:25.06
and Christianity
resulted in the man of sin.
00:08:25.07\00:08:29.40
Anytime we have any kind
of compromise with paganism,
00:08:29.41\00:08:32.01
things of the
world and Christianity,
00:08:32.02\00:08:33.87
we're gonna see the
devil rear his ugly head.
00:08:33.88\00:08:36.61
Point number six,
00:08:36.62\00:08:37.99
God used the term
beast in the Bible,
00:08:38.00\00:08:40.81
we studied Daniel
two or Daniel seven
00:08:40.82\00:08:43.31
and then we'll be
studying Daniel 13 and 17
00:08:43.32\00:08:45.30
and so on to describe
the character of nations
00:08:45.31\00:08:49.09
that's not unusual,
00:08:49.10\00:08:50.11
we see that all
the time even today.
00:08:50.12\00:08:52.20
Point number 7,
00:08:52.21\00:08:53.31
the Bible history
reveals this world power
00:08:53.32\00:08:57.26
beginning with
as we study Babylon,
00:08:57.27\00:08:59.37
Medo-Persia, Greece,
Rome and of course Pagan Rome
00:08:59.38\00:09:02.81
and then were going to
discover the little horn power
00:09:02.82\00:09:05.53
and so on in
our study for today.
00:09:05.54\00:09:07.68
Okay, point number 8,
00:09:07.69\00:09:08.75
our last one, pay special
attention to this right here.
00:09:08.76\00:09:11.76
The mark to the beast,
00:09:11.77\00:09:13.37
the image to the
beast 666 man of sin,
00:09:13.38\00:09:17.51
the son of
perdition, we're looking at the,
00:09:17.52\00:09:20.15
the little horn
power, Babylon the great
00:09:20.16\00:09:22.99
and they are talking about
00:09:23.00\00:09:24.27
the harlot in
Revelation Chapter 17,
00:09:24.28\00:09:27.38
these all
represent the same power.
00:09:27.39\00:09:31.87
Wow! God want us to know about
00:09:31.88\00:09:34.32
this power then, doesn't He.
00:09:34.33\00:09:35.81
It's very important that we do,
00:09:35.82\00:09:37.22
because it's going
over and over in scriptures
00:09:37.23\00:09:40.27
as we study Daniel two
and Daniel 7, Revelation 13.
00:09:40.28\00:09:43.15
Revelation 17 all these powers
00:09:43.16\00:09:45.26
and God's says, I want
you to know this power,
00:09:45.27\00:09:47.51
because it's what,
working in apposition
00:09:47.52\00:09:49.45
against God and
his last day people.
00:09:49.46\00:09:52.10
Now remember, I've
mentioned in the last lesson
00:09:52.11\00:09:54.41
that we have this
beautiful book here
00:09:54.42\00:09:56.06
call the Mark of the Beast book.
00:09:56.07\00:09:57.84
Now it has so
much information in it,
00:09:57.85\00:10:00.20
and you, listen we only
have couple hundred of these
00:10:00.21\00:10:02.66
and we're going to only
give out couple of hundred
00:10:02.67\00:10:04.94
to the first people that call.
00:10:04.95\00:10:06.50
So you want to get all he
is talking on the back here,
00:10:06.51\00:10:08.89
you say over two
hundred historians
00:10:08.90\00:10:11.29
and religious
authorities are quoted.
00:10:11.30\00:10:13.45
So things we're
talking about here,
00:10:13.46\00:10:14.66
the information is tremendous,
00:10:14.67\00:10:16.82
it will light up your life
00:10:16.83\00:10:17.99
when it comes to Bible prophecy.
00:10:18.00\00:10:19.83
So you want it, be call now.
00:10:19.84\00:10:21.33
You don't wait till
the program is over,
00:10:21.34\00:10:22.46
you're gonna call now,
so you can get this book.
00:10:22.47\00:10:24.68
And also I want to bring out,
00:10:24.69\00:10:26.99
you know, people
are going to say,
00:10:27.00\00:10:28.21
why do you spend
time on this subject,
00:10:28.22\00:10:30.67
because it's kind of
offensive to some people.
00:10:30.68\00:10:34.13
Now, we've-we have
a choice here to make,
00:10:34.14\00:10:36.25
we either offend God,
00:10:36.26\00:10:37.49
or would as it were
I might offend people.
00:10:37.50\00:10:39.76
But remember truth
should never offend,
00:10:39.77\00:10:42.38
it should never offend us.
00:10:42.39\00:10:44.04
And so as I'm going
to read just a quote
00:10:44.05\00:10:46.05
for a little book
called Evangelism.
00:10:46.06\00:10:48.05
You see the importance of
what I'm talking about here.
00:10:48.06\00:10:50.62
Notice the highest
and the greatest work.
00:10:50.63\00:10:52.89
So you understand
why we feel compelled
00:10:52.90\00:10:55.41
to present this message,
00:10:55.42\00:10:56.51
because
remember we're looking at
00:10:56.52\00:10:58.20
a religious organizations
that's fooling world.
00:10:58.21\00:11:01.77
Notice what it says here.
00:11:01.78\00:11:03.43
Page 18, its
says the Lord designs
00:11:03.44\00:11:05.78
that the
presentation of this messages,
00:11:05.79\00:11:08.38
first, second and
third angles message
00:11:08.39\00:11:10.19
shall be the highest, listen
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.08
and the greatest work carried
on in the world at this time.
00:11:12.09\00:11:17.73
The greatest work, the
highest work, right now
00:11:17.74\00:11:21.08
and then just a
couple more line it says.
00:11:21.09\00:11:22.95
If they will
talking about people
00:11:22.96\00:11:24.78
who feel the calling of
God, to give this message,
00:11:24.79\00:11:27.61
if they will show the energy
00:11:27.62\00:11:30.17
that is necessary in
order to gain success,
00:11:30.18\00:11:33.80
and the faith that
goes forward unquestioningly
00:11:33.81\00:11:37.10
in obedience to God's command,
rich returns will be theirs.
00:11:37.11\00:11:42.86
They must go as far
and as fast as possible,
00:11:42.87\00:11:46.61
listen with a determination
to do the very things
00:11:46.62\00:11:50.32
that the Lord has
said should be done.
00:11:50.33\00:11:53.33
Listen, they must have push
00:11:53.34\00:11:56.90
and earnest, unwavering faith.
00:11:56.91\00:12:00.17
The world must hear
the warning message.
00:12:00.18\00:12:04.42
Oh, friends just a
couple of little small samples
00:12:04.43\00:12:06.57
of what we're
talking about here.
00:12:06.58\00:12:08.10
And the urgency
that God would have us to
00:12:08.11\00:12:10.01
as we present this message.
00:12:10.02\00:12:11.86
And so far we've done
this, we studied Daniel 7,
00:12:11.87\00:12:15.13
a little different
most people do Daniel 2,
00:12:15.14\00:12:17.04
but we did Daniel 7.
00:12:17.05\00:12:18.41
We're just going to touch
on some comparisons of Daniel 2
00:12:18.42\00:12:21.20
and show that
Daniel 2 and Daniel 7
00:12:21.21\00:12:23.20
and even 8 as we go
on in Revelation 13.
00:12:23.21\00:12:25.51
They are talking
about the same power here
00:12:25.52\00:12:27.57
and we'll do a
little comparison here.
00:12:27.58\00:12:29.08
Let's do that show
with Daniel 2 and Daniel 7.
00:12:29.09\00:12:31.84
You remember the
first world power was what?
00:12:31.85\00:12:34.34
Under I maen that was
Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar,
00:12:34.35\00:12:37.05
that's started in 605 B.C.
00:12:37.06\00:12:39.72
Interesting now
what we're studying
00:12:39.73\00:12:41.03
and then you get
this squared away
00:12:41.04\00:12:43.16
is that history or historians
recorded these things.
00:12:43.17\00:12:47.00
The Bible already said,
00:12:47.01\00:12:49.06
the God wants us to be able
to go back even look in history
00:12:49.07\00:12:51.63
and say oh, this excatly the
wrold power first world power
00:12:51.64\00:12:55.38
and that was the head
of goat, do you remember.
00:12:55.39\00:12:57.60
Well in Daniel Chapter 7
00:12:57.61\00:12:59.33
we'll see a lion
and it had wings.
00:12:59.34\00:13:02.33
The second power was
the Medes and the Persian,
00:13:02.34\00:13:04.54
the arms and chest of silver.
00:13:04.55\00:13:06.86
But you notice in
Daniel 7 it was simply the bear
00:13:06.87\00:13:10.66
with three ribs in its mouth.
00:13:10.67\00:13:13.34
The third world power
00:13:13.35\00:13:14.54
was the Grecian power
331 B.C. until 168 B.C.
00:13:14.55\00:13:20.05
So we have the dates on,
00:13:20.06\00:13:21.37
because, you know,
the Bible predicts these
00:13:21.38\00:13:23.26
and historians when they--
and they write these things in
00:13:23.27\00:13:26.33
so we can follow
without any mistake
00:13:26.34\00:13:29.09
that was the thighs of
brass you remember in Daniel 2.
00:13:29.10\00:13:31.93
Well in Daniel 7 it
was the leopard like beast
00:13:31.94\00:13:35.15
you remember, had four wings
00:13:35.16\00:13:37.13
and then it had four heads.
00:13:37.14\00:13:39.17
And so in Daniel 2
00:13:39.18\00:13:40.21
we see there it
comes the Roman Empire
00:13:40.22\00:13:42.72
168 to about 476 AD
that it was the legs of iron,
00:13:42.73\00:13:47.93
do you remember
that legs of iron.
00:13:47.94\00:13:49.52
And then you go to Daniel 7
00:13:49.53\00:13:51.47
and you see the fourth beast,
00:13:51.48\00:13:52.80
it said it was an awful beast,
00:13:52.81\00:13:54.34
it was, it had iron teeth,
00:13:54.35\00:13:56.00
and it had ten horns,
awesome looking thing.
00:13:56.01\00:14:00.18
And so we see the
comparison God's talking
00:14:00.19\00:14:02.15
about the same power here,
00:14:02.16\00:14:03.91
because He wants
us to know exactly,
00:14:03.92\00:14:06.02
so we can understand
00:14:06.03\00:14:07.06
what this little
horn power is all about
00:14:07.07\00:14:08.96
and the antichrist revealed.
00:14:08.97\00:14:11.09
Now mostly they allowed,
00:14:11.10\00:14:12.12
its interesting they
agree with everything
00:14:12.13\00:14:14.59
that we've been talking about
00:14:14.60\00:14:15.63
mostly it allowed
regardless of their--
00:14:15.64\00:14:17.42
we take their denomination,
00:14:17.43\00:14:18.68
they agree with
that what's been said
00:14:18.69\00:14:21.08
about the four
beast in Daniel 2 and 7.
00:14:21.09\00:14:23.11
But interesting point here,
00:14:23.12\00:14:24.64
but here is where a
very important point
00:14:24.65\00:14:27.66
is missed many times.
00:14:27.67\00:14:29.21
Now you're with me,
00:14:29.22\00:14:30.22
a very important is where
it is missed because they,
00:14:30.23\00:14:33.19
they missed important
point of the ten horns.
00:14:33.20\00:14:36.10
What about the ten horns?
00:14:36.11\00:14:38.05
It said, out of the fourth beast
00:14:38.06\00:14:40.08
Daniel 7:23 and verse 24,
00:14:40.09\00:14:43.35
the ten horns the
Bible said are ten kingdoms,
00:14:43.36\00:14:47.49
so there were ten, what kingdoms
00:14:47.50\00:14:49.50
at the world during that time,
00:14:49.51\00:14:51.34
the history of the world.
00:14:51.35\00:14:52.92
Now if there were ten king,
historians wrote them down,
00:14:52.93\00:14:55.80
so we can't make a mistake
represented by what, good.
00:14:55.81\00:14:58.87
The ten toes of
Daniel Chapter 2.
00:14:58.88\00:15:01.87
So as we look at
this world power.
00:15:01.88\00:15:03.46
Now remember if
there are just ten
00:15:03.47\00:15:05.15
and something would happen
00:15:05.16\00:15:06.33
to one or two or
three of those powers,
00:15:06.34\00:15:08.82
it would be recorded,
00:15:08.83\00:15:10.06
just as we have
many nations today.
00:15:10.07\00:15:11.72
But if one of them is uprooted,
00:15:11.73\00:15:13.27
or one is completely destroyed,
00:15:13.28\00:15:14.53
just one of them about
two hundred and some odd.
00:15:14.54\00:15:16.80
It will be recorded in
history for future generation
00:15:16.81\00:15:20.55
if the world should last.
00:15:20.56\00:15:22.12
The Bible said they would be,
00:15:22.13\00:15:23.79
you know, there
will be another power
00:15:23.80\00:15:25.53
that would come
up, among the ten.
00:15:25.54\00:15:28.51
Please keep
this, keep this in mind
00:15:28.52\00:15:29.90
because it's misconstrued.
00:15:29.91\00:15:31.75
People say oh,
then they became eleven,
00:15:31.76\00:15:33.87
the Bible never
said eleven horns,
00:15:33.88\00:15:35.52
it said ten which
represent what again,
00:15:35.53\00:15:37.72
ten horns, ten
powers, ten kingdoms.
00:15:37.73\00:15:40.30
But it said that so
there will be a little horn
00:15:40.31\00:15:42.15
that would come
up among the ten.
00:15:42.16\00:15:44.14
So very easy for
us all to say okay,
00:15:44.15\00:15:46.56
we know the ten toes,
00:15:46.57\00:15:47.81
we know the ten
kingdoms came as Rome,
00:15:47.82\00:15:50.89
it was divided and
conquered into ten nations.
00:15:50.90\00:15:54.17
But it said, then
this little horn power
00:15:54.18\00:15:55.64
we had to be careful about,
00:15:55.65\00:15:57.15
because it comes up
among them, interesting.
00:15:57.16\00:16:00.33
And it uproots three of the ten.
00:16:00.34\00:16:02.99
And so history records it,
so we have to be on target.
00:16:03.00\00:16:06.48
We have to be right,
00:16:06.49\00:16:07.67
so four all the way
down, it has to be right,
00:16:07.68\00:16:09.89
because God has said.
00:16:09.90\00:16:11.16
It has to be
right because historians
00:16:11.17\00:16:13.17
had written it down
as such through the ages.
00:16:13.18\00:16:16.03
So what about
this little horn power?
00:16:16.04\00:16:17.60
Why is it we get off the track.
00:16:17.61\00:16:20.55
First, once again
as Hebrew remind us
00:16:20.56\00:16:22.50
as Rome fell what happened.
00:16:22.51\00:16:24.33
Well ten nation rose
up, ten toes of Daniel 2.
00:16:24.34\00:16:27.87
Ten horns is symbol of what?
00:16:27.88\00:16:29.80
Ten nations Daniel 7 verse 24.
00:16:29.81\00:16:33.53
History records
these ten kingdoms.
00:16:33.54\00:16:36.73
Now it actually,
it records them now,
00:16:36.74\00:16:38.65
listen seven already where,
00:16:38.66\00:16:40.54
in existence
today, isn't that awesome.
00:16:40.55\00:16:43.10
So we know that
we're still on target
00:16:43.11\00:16:45.33
and then if I
mention to you these things,
00:16:45.34\00:16:47.95
you will understand
history reveals this.
00:16:47.96\00:16:50.28
Now, we can go all through it,
00:16:50.29\00:16:51.59
I can send you a
list if you need them,
00:16:51.60\00:16:53.56
you gonna have
to do some calling.
00:16:53.57\00:16:54.59
And by the way,
00:16:54.60\00:16:55.62
we so appreciate those who call,
00:16:55.63\00:16:57.60
those who you
write in and so and so
00:16:57.61\00:16:59.29
forth with questions
or the program so on so,
00:16:59.30\00:17:01.89
you keep those things coming.
00:17:01.90\00:17:03.36
But history reveals
this fact of the ten.
00:17:03.37\00:17:07.39
It reveals the fact
that three were uprooted
00:17:07.40\00:17:10.24
and if I mention this to you,
00:17:10.25\00:17:11.49
what if I mention to
you the Anglo-Saxons,
00:17:11.50\00:17:14.24
what would you say?
What would it be today?
00:17:14.25\00:17:17.28
Good, it would be the English,
so we would understand that.
00:17:17.29\00:17:20.36
If I said to you the Franks,
00:17:20.37\00:17:22.71
what would you say for
today? Now you remember,
00:17:22.72\00:17:24.86
these are nations
with is in Europe,
00:17:24.87\00:17:26.93
seven still in existence today.
00:17:26.94\00:17:29.34
Franks would be what?
00:17:29.35\00:17:30.39
The French, good.
00:17:30.40\00:17:31.82
If I say to you, the
Alemanni, what would you say.
00:17:31.83\00:17:34.23
Oh those are the
Germans and the Lombards,
00:17:34.24\00:17:37.02
oh that's the
Italians, and so we go through
00:17:37.03\00:17:39.78
the whole list
right there with Spanish,
00:17:39.79\00:17:41.89
and Swiss and so on so forth,
00:17:41.90\00:17:43.17
so if we go down
that we see that seven
00:17:43.18\00:17:45.37
of the ten are
in existence today,
00:17:45.38\00:17:47.59
we're still on target.
00:17:47.60\00:17:48.91
So something must be going on
00:17:48.92\00:17:50.30
that we need to
really look closer at.
00:17:50.31\00:17:52.35
In order to
understand this prophecy
00:17:52.36\00:17:54.53
Daniel 7 and 8
becomes very, very important.
00:17:54.54\00:17:57.37
Now if I read that
couple of different times,
00:17:57.38\00:17:58.99
but I want you to take
note of it, if we miss this,
00:17:59.00\00:18:01.73
we begin to miss the
whole point of this prophecy
00:18:01.74\00:18:04.72
and we can start going
to all different directions,
00:18:04.73\00:18:07.47
because people do not want
00:18:07.48\00:18:08.78
to really
identify the little horn,
00:18:08.79\00:18:10.45
they want to make
excuses for Daniel 7 verse 8
00:18:10.46\00:18:13.35
says I consider the
horns, you remember the horns.
00:18:13.36\00:18:16.57
He said I look,
I saw these horns
00:18:16.58\00:18:17.90
and I begin to
consider them in vision.
00:18:17.91\00:18:20.24
He said and there come
up among them a little horn,
00:18:20.25\00:18:23.07
you have your Bible, are
you looking those up good.
00:18:23.08\00:18:25.99
Before whom three of them
were uprooted notice this.
00:18:26.00\00:18:29.29
They were plucked up
by the what, by the roots
00:18:29.30\00:18:32.41
behold this
little horn had what?
00:18:32.42\00:18:34.04
Eyes like the eyes of a man,
00:18:34.05\00:18:36.08
and it had mouth
speaking great things.
00:18:36.09\00:18:38.82
God is identifying
this power that came up
00:18:38.83\00:18:41.43
and when they would come
up, it uprooted three nations
00:18:41.44\00:18:43.47
and you would have to
know what these power is,
00:18:43.48\00:18:46.31
because God is
warning us against this power
00:18:46.32\00:18:48.12
with all these chapters
that we've been studying,
00:18:48.13\00:18:50.68
its very interesting.
00:18:50.69\00:18:52.27
Lot of people who
don't want to woo,
00:18:52.28\00:18:53.72
be careful face reality,
00:18:53.73\00:18:55.49
a lot of people who
want, who get off track
00:18:55.50\00:18:57.42
and the devils
leads them off track,
00:18:57.43\00:18:58.72
you know, what
many of them say about
00:18:58.73\00:19:00.13
the person
remember this Daniel 7:24
00:19:00.14\00:19:04.45
a horn listen is a
symbol of a kingdom,
00:19:04.46\00:19:08.56
not a, not an individual
king that's very interesting.
00:19:08.57\00:19:13.41
People study this prophecy
00:19:13.42\00:19:14.55
and they go right up to the
point we're going right now.
00:19:14.56\00:19:16.33
And then the say, yeah,
00:19:16.34\00:19:17.33
but this little
horn power many say what?
00:19:17.34\00:19:20.89
They said this
little horn power is Titus
00:19:20.90\00:19:25.82
when he destroyed
Jerusalem in AD 70.
00:19:25.83\00:19:28.54
Now remember the
little horn, the horn is what?
00:19:28.55\00:19:30.87
It's a kingdom isn't,
00:19:33.29\00:19:35.05
not an individual
king, it couldn't be Titus.
00:19:35.06\00:19:37.45
Other say that it
was Antiochus Epiphanes,
00:19:37.46\00:19:41.09
you remember him,
Antiochus you remember him.
00:19:41.10\00:19:43.76
The majority of
people who get off track
00:19:43.77\00:19:46.27
and say it's
Antiochus Epiphanes.
00:19:46.28\00:19:48.61
Now notice this
again an individual king,
00:19:48.62\00:19:52.44
not a kingdom.
00:19:52.45\00:19:53.55
We're gonna study
little more about that.
00:19:53.56\00:19:54.81
Other says its Mohammed,
00:19:54.82\00:19:57.16
they said well Mohammed
is that little horn power.
00:19:57.17\00:19:59.48
Oh, friend, they cannot
be, I say once again why,
00:19:59.49\00:20:03.13
because they were individual
kings and not a kingdom,
00:20:03.14\00:20:07.22
that's right truth
that strike against them.
00:20:07.23\00:20:09.66
Now many still are confused,
00:20:09.67\00:20:11.34
let me give you
especially Antiochus Epiphanes.
00:20:11.35\00:20:14.93
Now let me tell you this.
00:20:14.94\00:20:16.16
There is-- what
if I jott it down,
00:20:16.17\00:20:17.60
six different reasons why
he doesn't fit the bill here.
00:20:17.61\00:20:21.14
Number one is we said before
00:20:21.15\00:20:23.15
because it could
be he was a king,
00:20:23.16\00:20:25.30
an individual
king and not a kingdom.
00:20:25.31\00:20:28.35
Now we're again, we're
studying Daniel Chapter 8,
00:20:28.36\00:20:30.61
so if you take your
Bible you go to Chapter 8,
00:20:30.62\00:20:32.86
it gives some identifying
marks of this little horn power
00:20:32.87\00:20:35.30
as it came up and
things that it would do
00:20:35.31\00:20:36.79
and so on and so forth.
00:20:36.80\00:20:38.13
But notice number
two it did not appear
00:20:38.14\00:20:41.28
because this is
a little horn power
00:20:41.29\00:20:42.47
would appear at the later end
00:20:42.48\00:20:44.78
of the Seleucid
kingdom not in the middle,
00:20:44.79\00:20:47.66
so that rules
Antiochus out, doesn't it.
00:20:47.67\00:20:50.58
He couldn't possible be.
00:20:50.59\00:20:51.65
Number three, he
didn't really prosper
00:20:51.66\00:20:54.44
and grow exceedingly
great in verse 9 of Daniel 8.
00:20:54.45\00:20:57.79
See it said this little
horn power would do what,
00:20:57.80\00:20:59.95
would prosper and
would grow, he didn't.
00:20:59.96\00:21:02.62
They didn't as individuals.
00:21:02.63\00:21:05.50
His advance, people say
well, he advanced into Egypt
00:21:05.51\00:21:07.75
and when he advanced into Egypt
00:21:07.76\00:21:10.12
history says is
very short lived.
00:21:10.13\00:21:12.38
And it says here and
it ended in humiliation
00:21:12.39\00:21:15.47
and people say will yeah,
00:21:15.48\00:21:16.51
but he had success in Palestine.
00:21:16.52\00:21:18.29
Oh, friend it was so
short just he was there,
00:21:18.30\00:21:20.56
boom it was gone,
00:21:20.57\00:21:21.56
so he is not fitting the
bill Antiochus Epiphanes.
00:21:21.57\00:21:24.35
I read this, number 5 Bible says
00:21:24.36\00:21:27.02
that this power
little horn power
00:21:27.03\00:21:28.68
he would have craft and
policy and it would prosper
00:21:28.69\00:21:33.09
that's
interesting these that men
00:21:33.10\00:21:34.62
that we've just
talked about here,
00:21:34.63\00:21:36.22
his craft and policy failed
00:21:36.23\00:21:38.22
more history reveals
more than it prospered,
00:21:38.23\00:21:40.35
so it couldn't possibly be him.
00:21:40.36\00:21:42.23
Number six, it
says, that these power
00:21:42.24\00:21:45.01
would stand against the
prince of princes, you remember.
00:21:45.02\00:21:49.15
Well he didn't stand
against any of the Jewish prince
00:21:49.16\00:21:52.90
or princesses there in verse 25.
00:21:52.91\00:21:55.09
You just need to take
time and read all those things.
00:21:55.10\00:21:57.41
So as we look the
weight of evidence
00:21:57.42\00:21:59.32
says that the lack of
many of these specifications
00:21:59.33\00:22:02.69
they were not fulfilled in
prophecy of the little horn.
00:22:02.70\00:22:05.22
So it rules him
out, it rules them out.
00:22:05.23\00:22:08.28
But many I can tell you
how many different people
00:22:08.29\00:22:10.53
of different denominations
as they study this,
00:22:10.54\00:22:13.91
they use Antiochus Epiphanes
00:22:13.92\00:22:16.18
and say that's
the little horn power,
00:22:16.19\00:22:17.53
it cannot possibly be
00:22:17.54\00:22:20.22
and you just seen six
seven different reasons
00:22:20.23\00:22:22.27
why he couldn't be.
00:22:22.28\00:22:23.79
So as we go
now, we've ten horns,
00:22:23.80\00:22:25.82
ten kingdoms to deal
with, the world powers
00:22:25.83\00:22:28.90
and as we see here
to this point the Bible
00:22:28.91\00:22:31.00
and history does not disagree
at all up to this point,
00:22:31.01\00:22:36.10
we might get off track,
but as we got us not, not bible
00:22:36.11\00:22:38.78
and not history
something begins to happened
00:22:38.79\00:22:41.62
though I think we need
to pay close attention to,
00:22:41.63\00:22:43.97
as we study the scripture
so that we can identify
00:22:43.98\00:22:47.52
well this little horn
00:22:47.53\00:22:49.53
you know these
power and these kingdom.
00:22:49.54\00:22:53.06
Again Daniel 7 as we're
reading verses 8 and 24 and 25
00:22:53.07\00:22:58.55
once again we're
reading these again
00:22:58.56\00:23:00.45
I consider the
horns now remember
00:23:00.46\00:23:02.01
you saw these
always horns I consider it,
00:23:02.02\00:23:03.54
I got to thinking about man
00:23:03.55\00:23:04.63
just doesn't look
good something is wrong
00:23:04.64\00:23:06.41
and I am very much
interested Daniel said
00:23:06.42\00:23:08.46
in that little horn
that come up among the ten.
00:23:08.47\00:23:12.07
As he came up, he
uprooted three of the kingdom,
00:23:12.08\00:23:14.33
so I can
identify that little horn.
00:23:14.34\00:23:16.50
Now think about
it, I can identify,
00:23:18.85\00:23:20.62
you can identify
that little horn power,
00:23:20.63\00:23:23.62
the Roman Empire when it failed.
00:23:23.63\00:23:25.94
So this little horn power
as we're studying about it
00:23:25.95\00:23:28.71
destroyed by the roots three
of the nations ten nations,
00:23:28.72\00:23:33.16
so far what, we
still agree with scripture,
00:23:33.17\00:23:35.76
we still agree with history.
00:23:35.77\00:23:38.18
Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece
00:23:38.19\00:23:40.01
and we have Rome
and now Pagan Rome
00:23:40.02\00:23:42.03
and now out of Pagan Rome or
out of the ten toes when Rome,
00:23:42.04\00:23:46.55
you know, broke
into ten kingdoms
00:23:46.56\00:23:48.61
out of that Pagan Rome,
00:23:48.62\00:23:49.61
the ten toes becomes
the next world power,
00:23:49.62\00:23:53.07
that God said is
a blasphemous power,
00:23:53.08\00:23:57.02
that is going to
fight against God's people.
00:23:57.03\00:23:59.82
It's a power that
needs to be identified,
00:23:59.83\00:24:01.59
because it's posing
as a religious group,
00:24:01.60\00:24:05.39
a religious organization.
00:24:05.40\00:24:07.67
How fitting for the
devil since he is what?
00:24:07.68\00:24:09.78
Last lesson, he
joined the church.
00:24:09.79\00:24:12.87
And so, well, I just
don't want to say anything,
00:24:12.88\00:24:15.88
in fact you know
the many of the books
00:24:15.89\00:24:16.92
that exposes these power
00:24:16.93\00:24:18.24
that we're talking about here,
00:24:18.25\00:24:20.00
they're trying, they
are passing laws and rules,
00:24:20.01\00:24:21.51
now they call them hate crimes.
00:24:21.52\00:24:23.16
But you're not be
able to say anything about
00:24:23.17\00:24:24.46
another
religion or anything else
00:24:24.47\00:24:26.41
that might hurt somebody else.
00:24:26.42\00:24:28.15
You don't want people just,
00:24:28.16\00:24:29.20
you know, get
with the program here
00:24:29.21\00:24:30.50
as we begin to look around
00:24:30.51\00:24:31.68
and say
interesting see the devil
00:24:31.69\00:24:33.51
doesn't want to be exposed,
00:24:33.52\00:24:34.88
so he is
encouraging to pass these books,
00:24:34.89\00:24:37.00
you know, laws or his
books can't be given out
00:24:37.01\00:24:38.93
that you really can't say
00:24:38.94\00:24:39.98
or preach the
truth to expose him.
00:24:39.99\00:24:42.28
That's interesting
politicians, they get on the TV
00:24:42.29\00:24:44.36
and they call each
other liar all the time.
00:24:44.37\00:24:46.38
They can say what these one did,
00:24:46.39\00:24:47.46
and what that
was suppose he didn't
00:24:47.47\00:24:48.46
and then other
one gets on to say
00:24:48.47\00:24:49.46
that didn't happened at all.
00:24:49.47\00:24:51.12
Hmm, the devil doesn't care
00:24:51.13\00:24:53.73
but he cares
about this prophecy.
00:24:53.74\00:24:56.46
You see about this that it comes
00:24:56.47\00:24:57.74
in the form of this little horn
00:24:57.75\00:24:59.28
that we stouter than the others.
00:24:59.29\00:25:01.25
What does it mean, he
was stouter than the other?
00:25:01.26\00:25:04.15
We almost realize he
destroyed three nations
00:25:04.16\00:25:06.30
when the little horn came up.
00:25:06.31\00:25:08.54
And as he started,
00:25:08.55\00:25:09.65
we can identify
this little horn power.
00:25:09.66\00:25:12.43
History simply tells us this
00:25:12.44\00:25:14.96
that it was a
Roman Catholic Church.
00:25:14.97\00:25:17.38
This little power that came up
00:25:17.39\00:25:18.54
that destroyed the three
00:25:18.55\00:25:19.54
and I'll spend a
little bit of time of this,
00:25:19.55\00:25:20.87
hope we enough to go.
00:25:20.88\00:25:23.46
These three nations
that where the Heruli,
00:25:23.47\00:25:26.85
and the Vandals
and the Ostrogoths.
00:25:26.86\00:25:29.44
These three were destroyed.
00:25:29.45\00:25:31.44
Now remember the Ostrogoths
was the last one to go down.
00:25:31.45\00:25:34.17
Write this down 530A.D,
00:25:34.18\00:25:36.28
because that is a
point that we need not miss.
00:25:36.29\00:25:39.30
And I'll spend some time going
over some different things,
00:25:39.31\00:25:41.34
so that you can,
00:25:41.35\00:25:42.39
we can establish
beyond a shadow of doubt,
00:25:42.40\00:25:44.30
so we know what
we're talking about here.
00:25:44.31\00:25:46.94
History reveals that
the Roman Catholic Church
00:25:46.95\00:25:48.93
was the next
power and it came up
00:25:48.94\00:25:50.60
in the form of what?
00:25:50.61\00:25:52.16
Good, the little horn power
00:25:52.17\00:25:53.66
that was stouter than the other,
00:25:53.67\00:25:54.92
so it mean a
religious power and a what?
00:25:54.93\00:25:57.65
Good, a political power.
00:25:57.66\00:25:59.81
Now we're gonna read,
oh all kind of quotes,
00:25:59.82\00:26:01.57
you remember the book
here only first 200 callers
00:26:01.58\00:26:03.64
are going to get this book free.
00:26:03.65\00:26:04.93
Mark of the
Beast, oh you got to do,
00:26:04.94\00:26:07.65
you just got to call and get it.
00:26:07.66\00:26:09.64
You know it's the
530A, why 530A remember
00:26:09.65\00:26:12.42
that starts or marks the
beginning of the middle ages
00:26:12.43\00:26:15.71
or the dark ages or the
1260 years of Papal rule.
00:26:15.72\00:26:20.82
Please do not forget that.
00:26:20.83\00:26:22.51
Now, why did these
three powers then go down.
00:26:22.52\00:26:25.57
There's got to
be a reason for it.
00:26:25.58\00:26:28.30
The little horn
came up among them,
00:26:28.31\00:26:29.69
so why did the three of
those have to be destroyed.
00:26:29.70\00:26:32.55
Friends, it's very simple.
00:26:32.56\00:26:33.83
They disagreed
with the Roman Church.
00:26:33.84\00:26:36.34
They disagreed with the
decree that was past established
00:26:36.35\00:26:39.48
by the Pope that
he'll be the head
00:26:39.49\00:26:41.35
of all Christian
churches, interesting.
00:26:41.36\00:26:44.38
The Vandals and the
Ostrogoths didn't even believed
00:26:44.39\00:26:47.05
or accept the deity of Christ,
00:26:47.06\00:26:48.75
number one, or did they accept
the authority of the Pope.
00:26:48.76\00:26:52.95
And so they
disagreed, seven were agreeing,
00:26:52.96\00:26:54.94
three weren't agreeing
with this power that came up.
00:26:54.95\00:26:58.04
And so what usually happens
00:26:58.05\00:26:59.16
when you
disagreeing with the power.
00:26:59.17\00:27:02.12
Remember 5:38 mark the beginning
00:27:02.13\00:27:04.66
of the supreme
rule of the Papacy.
00:27:04.67\00:27:08.31
And you know
what this is called?
00:27:08.32\00:27:09.58
The corrector of heretics,
00:27:09.59\00:27:11.74
simply mean if you
didn't agree with their teaching
00:27:11.75\00:27:13.84
and what they said,
dear friend you are heretic.
00:27:13.85\00:27:16.79
Then you could be fined,
00:27:16.80\00:27:17.98
you could be thrown in a
prison or you can be killed.
00:27:17.99\00:27:20.35
You had to go along with the,
00:27:20.36\00:27:21.42
what the papacy
the Catholic Church
00:27:21.43\00:27:23.28
thought or you
would be persecuted.
00:27:23.29\00:27:25.34
This is in history dear friends.
00:27:25.35\00:27:27.40
It's not bashing,
there's good people
00:27:27.41\00:27:29.29
everywhere we have
all over the place.
00:27:29.30\00:27:30.85
I'm talking about
an organization here
00:27:30.86\00:27:32.73
which the devil is using.
00:27:32.74\00:27:34.37
May I just be that
blunt with it and playing?
00:27:34.38\00:27:37.50
Not meant to upset you
to get you all discourage,
00:27:37.51\00:27:40.00
but listen the
Bible has said it,
00:27:40.01\00:27:42.61
God has said
over and over and over
00:27:42.62\00:27:44.63
and He said His last day people.
00:27:44.64\00:27:46.13
In Revelation
Chapter 14 would be giving
00:27:46.14\00:27:48.08
the Three Angels message
00:27:48.09\00:27:49.35
and that Third Angel's
message is warning against
00:27:49.36\00:27:51.15
the Mark of the Beast,
00:27:51.16\00:27:52.66
against the
antichrist as it where.
00:27:52.67\00:27:54.54
You know the
mystery of inequity,
00:27:54.55\00:27:55.97
the man of sin
that has to be exposed,
00:27:55.98\00:27:57.91
because he changed God's laws.
00:27:57.92\00:27:59.99
He ruled what a
church has set itself up.
00:28:00.00\00:28:02.19
That everything, most everything
00:28:02.20\00:28:03.54
that they
believe in is tradition,
00:28:03.55\00:28:05.17
has nothing to do with scripture
00:28:05.18\00:28:06.38
and yet we call it religious.
00:28:06.39\00:28:07.68
Have we gone so, you know,
void of thinking to say well,
00:28:09.63\00:28:13.75
that's a religious organization.
00:28:13.76\00:28:16.05
That's a-- I would base it on,
00:28:16.06\00:28:19.57
what people say you
know in the past, it doesn't,
00:28:19.58\00:28:21.44
well we believe in the
Bible and the Bible alone.
00:28:21.45\00:28:23.56
Roman church never says that
00:28:23.57\00:28:25.56
they don't believe in the Bible,
00:28:25.57\00:28:26.78
and traditional
friend think about this.
00:28:26.79\00:28:29.53
Make sure we understand
this most important point.
00:28:29.54\00:28:32.58
I don't want you just
presume I want you think,
00:28:32.59\00:28:34.78
I want you to
listen very carefully.
00:28:34.79\00:28:36.51
Look at this
statement, from history its call
00:28:36.52\00:28:39.33
from the rise of the
medieval church from A.C. Flick.
00:28:39.34\00:28:42.47
Now notice real right down
00:28:42.48\00:28:44.35
to the point
here's what he says.
00:28:44.36\00:28:46.10
Hour of the
ruins of political Rome
00:28:46.11\00:28:49.83
arose the great moral empire
00:28:49.84\00:28:52.64
in the giant form
of the Roman Church.
00:28:52.65\00:28:55.55
The Bible has
said over and over.
00:28:55.56\00:28:57.57
Historians have written
and said that's exactly right,
00:28:57.58\00:29:00.07
so why are we in denial?
00:29:00.08\00:29:01.81
What is the problem with us?
00:29:01.82\00:29:03.78
The giant form
of the Roman Church
00:29:03.79\00:29:07.01
in a book called the Papacy
00:29:07.02\00:29:10.31
and World
Affairs, it tells us this.
00:29:10.32\00:29:13.38
The Pope at his head was
the only independent in what?
00:29:13.39\00:29:17.98
Ecclesiastical affairs or
he was the power in religious,
00:29:17.99\00:29:21.79
but also he
controlled civil affairs.
00:29:21.80\00:29:25.93
You have church,
what? State, political
00:29:25.94\00:29:29.14
and you have religion
trying to come together.
00:29:29.15\00:29:31.09
Just exactly
what the Bible said,
00:29:31.10\00:29:32.77
when it said this little
horn power he was stouter,
00:29:32.78\00:29:35.11
he had eyes like
the eyes of a man
00:29:35.12\00:29:36.30
and mouth speaking blasphemy.
00:29:36.31\00:29:37.82
He was stout, the
religion and politics.
00:29:37.83\00:29:40.19
You've this
religion and politics.
00:29:40.20\00:29:42.22
You've got to
separate those things.
00:29:42.23\00:29:44.91
And so we see that it identifies
00:29:44.92\00:29:46.30
this power beyond
a shadow of a doubt.
00:29:46.31\00:29:48.41
Remember three of the first,
00:29:48.42\00:29:50.01
they are talking about
the first of the ten horns,
00:29:50.02\00:29:52.35
those three were
uprooted by the roots.
00:29:52.36\00:29:55.08
They were plucked up,
00:29:55.09\00:29:56.89
that means they were
no more to be represents
00:29:56.90\00:30:00.31
the destroying of the three,
00:30:00.32\00:30:02.45
and we call them
this barbarian tribes.
00:30:02.46\00:30:05.41
Three of them were destroyed.
00:30:05.42\00:30:06.62
We're going over three nations,
00:30:06.63\00:30:08.72
three nations opposed
notice this, the Papacy.
00:30:08.73\00:30:12.68
They opposed the
little horn power coming up.
00:30:12.69\00:30:15.72
And because they oppose them,
00:30:15.73\00:30:17.44
all three history
says, Heruli, the Vandals
00:30:17.45\00:30:21.25
and the Ostrogoths, notice this.
00:30:21.26\00:30:24.02
These three were
supporters of Arianism.
00:30:24.03\00:30:28.15
They would think
about it which was listen
00:30:28.16\00:30:30.20
which was a
rival to Catholicism.
00:30:30.21\00:30:34.48
So if you were a
rival to Catholicism,
00:30:34.49\00:30:36.17
a little horn power came up,
00:30:36.18\00:30:37.59
then you are going to go.
00:30:37.60\00:30:39.13
A history so reveals it.
00:30:39.14\00:30:40.46
God's word said before hand
00:30:40.47\00:30:41.94
that's what is going to happen.
00:30:41.95\00:30:43.99
Now, Ostrogoths was the last
00:30:44.00\00:30:46.49
of the three
nations to be defeated.
00:30:46.50\00:30:48.02
Now I've to go over this because
00:30:48.03\00:30:49.49
some people used
different they break off
00:30:49.50\00:30:51.76
some of these points and say,
00:30:51.77\00:30:52.99
well yeah but listen
in 538 little history
00:30:53.00\00:30:56.91
that we go over here
may help us to understand,
00:30:56.92\00:30:59.60
you know, what some have done.
00:30:59.61\00:31:01.39
But lets go back and let's see
00:31:01.40\00:31:02.57
what the Bible teaches
00:31:02.58\00:31:03.66
and what history reveals to us
00:31:03.67\00:31:05.87
You remember the Ostrogoths,
00:31:05.88\00:31:07.03
they were, they were in Italy.
00:31:07.04\00:31:09.01
They were the last
power of the Arian tribes.
00:31:09.02\00:31:13.35
The only power getting
in the way of the Papacy
00:31:13.36\00:31:17.88
in the west and the effort begin
00:31:17.89\00:31:20.31
actually in 534 A.D it begin.
00:31:20.32\00:31:23.33
And it was just to
what, just to wipe them out,
00:31:23.34\00:31:26.43
very, very interesting.
00:31:26.44\00:31:28.60
History says,
now listen carefully
00:31:28.61\00:31:30.00
this where people get confused.
00:31:30.01\00:31:31.51
They said as
they begin this battle
00:31:31.52\00:31:33.44
the battle actually
lasted remember off and on,
00:31:33.45\00:31:36.03
off and on for twenty years.
00:31:36.04\00:31:37.66
Well you would say
well it began in 534,
00:31:37.67\00:31:39.91
twenty years now
that 538 couldn't be it.
00:31:39.92\00:31:42.31
And so we begin to run
in different direction.
00:31:42.32\00:31:44.10
We need not do that because
00:31:44.11\00:31:45.58
history helps us
to understand this.
00:31:45.59\00:31:48.26
See, but what
happened was the effort
00:31:48.27\00:31:50.60
lasted twenty
years to completion,
00:31:50.61\00:31:52.59
but here is the but.
00:31:52.60\00:31:54.14
The decisive
outcome occurred earlier.
00:31:54.15\00:31:58.32
Now what do you mean by that?
00:31:58.33\00:31:59.36
What do you mean
the decisive outcome
00:31:59.37\00:32:01.88
of this battle occurred earlier?
00:32:01.89\00:32:04.41
The Ostrogoths had
been driven out of Rome,
00:32:04.42\00:32:07.29
this Papacy here, that
they drove Ostrogoths out
00:32:07.30\00:32:10.44
and then earlier and now they
returned back to fight in 537.
00:32:10.45\00:32:16.12
But we notice
this battle only lasted
00:32:16.13\00:32:17.93
about one year and
they were defeated again
00:32:17.94\00:32:20.21
and thrown out in 538.
00:32:20.22\00:32:22.36
Please keep that in mind.
00:32:22.37\00:32:23.66
Who, well history records
Justinian came with His army
00:32:23.67\00:32:27.33
and he rattled
them and threw them out.
00:32:27.34\00:32:30.19
Now what happen after that,
00:32:30.20\00:32:31.81
well very interesting
because they didn't see
00:32:31.82\00:32:33.58
Ostrogoths were still had
a little life left of them
00:32:33.59\00:32:35.74
and in 540 you see,
they came back again
00:32:35.75\00:32:39.66
to try to fight again.
00:32:39.67\00:32:41.30
It was a short lived.
00:32:41.31\00:32:43.53
It was quickly
squelched and it didn't amount
00:32:43.54\00:32:45.68
to anything and they
were actually withdrew
00:32:45.69\00:32:47.91
their power in 538.
00:32:47.92\00:32:49.79
That is the important
date there we see from Rome.
00:32:49.80\00:32:53.84
That mart and reach the
end of the Ostrogoths power.
00:32:53.85\00:32:58.28
That's why we tends
to do some prophecy here.
00:32:58.29\00:33:00.94
In the beginning of the
rule of the little horn power,
00:33:00.95\00:33:04.32
538 history says
and the Bible says,
00:33:04.33\00:33:07.60
"Beyond the shadow of a doubt."
00:33:07.61\00:33:09.91
See in this
victory it was interesting,
00:33:09.92\00:33:11.67
Justinian, He
united Italy for a while
00:33:11.68\00:33:16.04
he parts of the
west and the eastern half
00:33:16.05\00:33:19.35
that what had been
Rome, Roman Empire.
00:33:19.36\00:33:22.37
But not only
uniting them together,
00:33:22.38\00:33:24.08
but notice it's interesting.
00:33:24.09\00:33:25.79
Not only he conquered them,
00:33:25.80\00:33:26.91
but he put into effect some law,
00:33:26.92\00:33:29.30
some old laws that had been
00:33:29.31\00:33:30.56
as they were on the books
00:33:30.57\00:33:31.97
and he instituted some new laws.
00:33:31.98\00:33:34.24
Listening carefully,
a new one included this.
00:33:34.25\00:33:37.96
It was an official letter.
00:33:37.97\00:33:40.02
He said here, the bishop of Rome
00:33:40.03\00:33:42.32
would be the head
of all holy churches.
00:33:42.33\00:33:47.21
Notice, and the head of all holy
00:33:47.22\00:33:49.39
priesthood of God and tells us
00:33:49.40\00:33:51.91
that the Pope has power
00:33:51.92\00:33:53.27
to do away with
heretics, interesting.
00:33:53.28\00:33:57.44
You see this
actually was done in 533.
00:33:57.45\00:33:59.82
Don't get confused.
00:33:59.83\00:34:01.10
You say, I thought you said 538,
00:34:01.11\00:34:03.06
this was done in 533.
00:34:03.07\00:34:04.73
But notice the Ostrogoths
still had power in 533
00:34:04.74\00:34:08.98
and they really couldn't
put it in effect until what?
00:34:08.99\00:34:12.83
Until they
controlled Rome again,
00:34:12.84\00:34:15.56
until they conquered
them and that was in what?
00:34:15.57\00:34:18.00
538, and then
they begin to implement
00:34:18.01\00:34:21.37
these rules that
would come in by Justinian.
00:34:21.38\00:34:24.28
Now the Papacy was in a position
00:34:24.29\00:34:26.80
to increase its power.
00:34:26.81\00:34:29.14
Stay with me, yes,
we're talking history
00:34:29.15\00:34:30.94
and Bible here is
very, very important.
00:34:30.95\00:34:32.83
Oh, Friend listen, because
this power is identified,
00:34:32.84\00:34:37.08
they were persecute and
has and killed God's people.
00:34:37.09\00:34:40.50
Thinking to
change times and laws.
00:34:40.51\00:34:41.98
We're going to get into that.
00:34:41.99\00:34:44.47
Now remember that the
time that we mark out is 538,
00:34:44.48\00:34:47.97
keep that down in your mind.
00:34:47.98\00:34:49.49
We said this power had
eyes like the eyes of what?
00:34:49.50\00:34:52.04
Good, of the man and a
mouth speaking great things.
00:34:52.05\00:34:55.17
What does it
mean this little horn?
00:34:55.18\00:34:57.05
It had eyes that
had intelligence,
00:34:57.06\00:34:59.29
we're looking
about, searching about,
00:34:59.30\00:35:02.51
it knew it had intelligence
00:35:02.52\00:35:03.96
and it would speak against
the most high, the Bible says.
00:35:03.97\00:35:07.51
It would speak
words of what? Blasphemy.
00:35:07.52\00:35:11.12
So this power then well listen
00:35:11.13\00:35:12.73
would claim
identifying mark will claim
00:35:12.74\00:35:15.25
to be equal with God, above God.
00:35:15.26\00:35:19.72
Is this true?
00:35:19.73\00:35:21.62
You see all this
points we're talking about
00:35:21.63\00:35:23.08
established in the
Bible and history so far
00:35:23.09\00:35:26.08
can't be wrong
because history so reveals
00:35:26.09\00:35:29.23
in the Bible so reveals.
00:35:29.24\00:35:31.13
Here, here's the quote,
this quote was taken from
00:35:31.14\00:35:33.23
the Ecclesiastical
dictionary on the Pope.
00:35:33.24\00:35:36.69
Now just listen to this,
00:35:36.70\00:35:37.71
it's shorten
lets get to the point.
00:35:37.72\00:35:40.03
The Pope is though
so great of dignity
00:35:40.04\00:35:42.58
and so exalted that
he is not a mere man
00:35:42.59\00:35:46.21
but as it were God.
00:35:46.22\00:35:48.49
The Vicar of God,
that's bold friend,
00:35:48.50\00:35:52.22
the Bible said
this power would, what?
00:35:52.23\00:35:53.85
Rise it would use a
religious God or organization.
00:35:53.86\00:35:58.51
Man was not
talking about people,
00:35:58.52\00:35:59.69
I'm not going to spend
all my time apologizing.
00:35:59.70\00:36:02.43
I don't apologize for the truth,
00:36:02.44\00:36:03.99
but I'll tell you this.
00:36:04.00\00:36:05.15
It's not the people
that we're talking about,
00:36:05.16\00:36:06.54
it's the organization that
the devil has chosen to use.
00:36:06.55\00:36:09.55
Please keep that in
mind, the Bible has exposed it
00:36:09.56\00:36:12.09
God's last day
people must expose Him.
00:36:12.10\00:36:15.36
It's our job,
it's our commission,
00:36:15.37\00:36:17.37
because the world is
wondering after the beast,
00:36:17.38\00:36:19.10
we'll see that more as we go.
00:36:19.11\00:36:21.15
Now I don't want
you to become confused,
00:36:21.16\00:36:23.39
start to reject these truths.
00:36:23.40\00:36:25.62
But notice let's
examine several points
00:36:25.63\00:36:29.43
that will prove beyond a doubt
00:36:29.44\00:36:31.52
that this power is the papacy.
00:36:31.53\00:36:33.83
The Bible states these facts.
00:36:33.84\00:36:35.38
In fact there is nine
facts that we need to deal with
00:36:35.39\00:36:39.06
and make sure
that we deal correctly.
00:36:39.07\00:36:41.32
And think about these with me.
00:36:41.33\00:36:42.84
Point number
one, already discussed
00:36:42.85\00:36:45.68
that this little horn power
00:36:45.69\00:36:47.36
would come up among the ten.
00:36:47.37\00:36:48.92
Is that right? Yeah.
00:36:48.93\00:36:50.33
And uproot three, right.
00:36:50.34\00:36:51.86
Number two, the time of
its appearance, it began what?
00:36:51.87\00:36:55.65
As a last of the three
tribes went down its in 538.
00:36:55.66\00:36:59.02
We've already discussed
it. It would come up what?
00:36:59.03\00:37:02.07
After the ten
were already in place
00:37:02.08\00:37:03.80
and so we could, we
can put a timeframe on 538.
00:37:03.81\00:37:06.40
Number three, it will
destroy three of the kingdoms.
00:37:06.41\00:37:09.09
Already Daniel 7:24, Daniel 7:8
00:37:09.10\00:37:12.40
this power would be different,
00:37:12.41\00:37:15.08
it would be both
religious and political.
00:37:15.09\00:37:18.45
We're on target here.
00:37:18.46\00:37:19.80
It'll have eyes
like the eyes of man.
00:37:19.81\00:37:21.37
We said while ago what?
00:37:21.38\00:37:22.44
We're talking about intelligence
00:37:22.45\00:37:24.05
that be a man at the
head of this organization
00:37:24.06\00:37:27.79
to get things done.
00:37:27.80\00:37:29.26
Six, he would speak great words
00:37:29.27\00:37:31.10
against the most
high Daniel 7:25.
00:37:31.11\00:37:33.99
Here's what Pope
Leo XIII declared,
00:37:34.00\00:37:37.18
he said, "We
hold upon the earth,
00:37:37.19\00:37:40.39
the place of God almighty."
00:37:40.40\00:37:43.47
See somebody a human being
00:37:43.48\00:37:45.00
has audacity to make
those kind of statements.
00:37:45.01\00:37:48.39
Friend, we ought
to have the pomp,
00:37:48.40\00:37:50.80
we all have the
and we're talking about
00:37:50.81\00:37:52.40
here in the name of Jesus
00:37:52.41\00:37:54.88
to stand back up and say what?
00:37:54.89\00:37:56.86
Oh, no, oh, no upon there,
00:37:56.87\00:37:59.41
we hold upon the place of
God Almighty is only one God.
00:37:59.42\00:38:03.64
Yet they put
themselves in place of God.
00:38:03.65\00:38:07.67
With identifying mark he
said, "This power will come up
00:38:07.68\00:38:09.95
and wear out the saints of God."
00:38:09.96\00:38:13.26
Would persecute,
it was a killing power
00:38:13.27\00:38:16.73
and we realize
in Dark Ages in 538,
00:38:16.74\00:38:18.91
so you know 798
that's 1260 year.
00:38:18.92\00:38:22.27
We'll discuss
little more in a moment.
00:38:22.28\00:38:23.80
That at least minimum
00:38:23.81\00:38:25.07
of a 150 million
Christians were killed.
00:38:25.08\00:38:29.55
You say well now, we
can hardly believe that now.
00:38:29.56\00:38:31.49
We don't want hurt friend.
00:38:31.50\00:38:32.54
You can go to the library,
00:38:32.55\00:38:34.07
you can get the
Foxe's Book of Martyrs.
00:38:34.08\00:38:37.12
You can do the History of
the Reformation by D'Aubigne.
00:38:37.13\00:38:41.74
You can get those books
00:38:41.75\00:38:42.79
and you can read those
and you can see for yourself.
00:38:42.80\00:38:45.97
God is identifying so that
we need not make any mistake.
00:38:45.98\00:38:49.18
Eight, point
eight, it would think
00:38:49.19\00:38:51.21
to change times and laws.
00:38:51.22\00:38:53.45
Daniel 7:25, papacy even
attempted to change the times.
00:38:53.46\00:38:58.57
Remember as God
said in creation,
00:38:58.58\00:39:00.18
He said evening
and morning were what,
00:39:00.19\00:39:02.43
yeah, the first day.
00:39:02.44\00:39:03.68
Evening from
evening, sunset to sunset
00:39:03.69\00:39:06.70
did you get it?
00:39:06.71\00:39:07.70
Genesis 1:5 but
what did the papacy do?
00:39:07.71\00:39:10.75
They changed the day,
Pope Gregory changed it
00:39:10.76\00:39:13.12
from what midnight to midnight.
00:39:13.13\00:39:15.98
So well we'll say
day has been a midnight
00:39:15.99\00:39:18.40
not according to the God's word.
00:39:18.41\00:39:20.27
And we need to
get back to God's word
00:39:20.28\00:39:21.54
it does make a different.
00:39:21.55\00:39:23.30
Catholic Church thinks
the ten times and what laws.
00:39:23.31\00:39:27.29
Now we see that
the papacy attempted
00:39:27.30\00:39:30.40
to change the Laws of
God, they changed, what?
00:39:30.41\00:39:32.69
The Ten
Commandments, you say well,
00:39:32.70\00:39:34.07
I didn't know that.
00:39:34.08\00:39:35.46
Well the Ten
Commandments they changed them,
00:39:35.47\00:39:37.31
they took out
remember they took out
00:39:37.32\00:39:39.16
the second
commandment not making any,
00:39:39.17\00:39:41.50
you know, idols or bowing down
and worshipping these idols.
00:39:41.51\00:39:44.33
And they took it to the tent
00:39:44.34\00:39:45.92
and they split
into two and they moved
00:39:45.93\00:39:47.60
all the other ones
out of their place.
00:39:47.61\00:39:51.18
A man or an organization
to take the Ten Commandment
00:39:51.19\00:39:54.60
Law of God, as God wrote them
00:39:54.61\00:39:56.24
with His own finger and
put them in order He wanted to.
00:39:56.25\00:40:00.17
Friend, who are we? Who's man?
00:40:00.18\00:40:03.41
That he had the audacity
to take one out completely
00:40:03.42\00:40:05.91
and then move all
the other ones on up.
00:40:05.92\00:40:08.40
And the only one
that really expose him
00:40:08.41\00:40:10.09
was the very first one and
you understand what the first.
00:40:10.10\00:40:12.51
Thou shall have no
other gods before me.
00:40:12.52\00:40:14.72
Its interesting
how that one left
00:40:14.73\00:40:16.20
in His place and coming
back to identify this power.
00:40:16.21\00:40:20.50
Friend, I'm telling
you we live in a time
00:40:20.51\00:40:22.42
that's this power
has to be exposed,
00:40:22.43\00:40:25.05
because the papacy did what?
00:40:25.06\00:40:26.37
Changed, as they
change these things
00:40:26.38\00:40:28.08
they also change, what?
00:40:28.09\00:40:29.91
The Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:40:29.92\00:40:31.52
The Sunday the
first day of the week,
00:40:31.53\00:40:33.76
now please keep that in mind.
00:40:33.77\00:40:35.11
They substituted
what, Sunday the first day
00:40:35.12\00:40:37.87
of the week, for
the true Sabbath day,
00:40:37.88\00:40:39.87
the seventh day of the week.
00:40:39.88\00:40:41.89
I'm just going to read three
little small quotes to you,
00:40:41.90\00:40:43.71
so you get what I'm saying.
00:40:43.72\00:40:44.71
This maybe all new,
it maybe all hurtful
00:40:44.72\00:40:47.06
you say oh man,
I didn't know this.
00:40:47.07\00:40:48.92
Listen, we need to
be read using the Bible.
00:40:48.93\00:40:52.22
The Bible is what
God wants us to be
00:40:52.23\00:40:54.33
reading here in these last days.
00:40:54.34\00:40:56.71
To find out what truth is
00:40:56.72\00:40:58.49
that we can be
established on the solid rock.
00:40:58.50\00:41:01.04
Not man made
rules and traditions
00:41:01.05\00:41:03.21
oh friends, we can't do that.
00:41:03.22\00:41:05.47
God wants us to move forward
00:41:05.48\00:41:07.58
as we open the pages of prophecy
00:41:07.59\00:41:09.93
and prophecy begins
to identify the powers
00:41:09.94\00:41:11.96
that would come
and hurt God's people
00:41:11.97\00:41:13.77
and destroy
God's people and what?
00:41:13.78\00:41:16.39
Change times and laws.
00:41:16.40\00:41:18.37
Let me just read these
three quotes quickly for you
00:41:18.38\00:41:20.37
so you'll see that
the Roman Catholic Church
00:41:20.38\00:41:22.95
is the one that changed
the Seventh-day Sabbath,
00:41:22.96\00:41:25.65
thought to change it,
you can never change it.
00:41:25.66\00:41:27.82
Man can't change what God
has institute you know that.
00:41:27.83\00:41:31.00
But people say well let's
I've never heard that before.
00:41:31.01\00:41:33.60
We need to be reading don't we.
00:41:33.61\00:41:35.69
Here's what the new Catholicism
00:41:35.70\00:41:37.45
of Christian doctrines
and practices is a question.
00:41:37.46\00:41:41.00
The Catholicism, notice
this, what day is the Sabbath
00:41:41.01\00:41:44.62
that's the Catholic Church.
00:41:44.63\00:41:45.62
What day is the Sabbath?
00:41:45.63\00:41:46.67
They say well
the Seventh-day is.
00:41:46.68\00:41:48.62
Very interesting you
ask most Protestants church
00:41:48.63\00:41:50.18
that what day is the
Sabbath and they'll say,
00:41:50.19\00:41:51.18
well I don't
know I think Sunday.
00:41:51.19\00:41:53.68
Roman Catholic Church
knows because they changed it.
00:41:53.69\00:41:56.57
Think to change times and laws
00:41:56.58\00:41:59.44
and then the question.
00:41:59.45\00:42:00.49
Do you keep the Sabbath?
00:42:00.50\00:42:02.06
Answer, no we
keep the Lord's Day.
00:42:02.07\00:42:06.19
Question well,
which days is that?
00:42:06.20\00:42:08.67
Answer, well it's the
first day it's Sunday.
00:42:08.68\00:42:11.23
Question well who changed
it then from the seventh-day
00:42:11.24\00:42:13.14
as the week the Sunday?
00:42:13.15\00:42:14.14
Answer, the Catholic Church did.
00:42:14.15\00:42:17.25
Well that's
interesting second quote
00:42:17.26\00:42:19.32
from the
Catholic mirror in 1893,
00:42:19.33\00:42:22.58
the Catholic
Church listen to this
00:42:22.59\00:42:24.02
for over 1000 years before
the existence of a Protestant.
00:42:24.03\00:42:28.90
By the virtue of
her divine mission
00:42:28.91\00:42:31.24
changed the day
from Saturday to Sunday.
00:42:31.25\00:42:33.67
I'm telling you, dear friends,
00:42:33.68\00:42:35.01
if you were
protestant believer today.
00:42:35.02\00:42:37.29
If you were
believer in God's word at all
00:42:37.30\00:42:39.13
and somebody has
audacity to say that's right,
00:42:39.14\00:42:41.45
we did it for 1000 years before
00:42:41.46\00:42:43.34
there was as Protestant
existent we changed the day.
00:42:43.35\00:42:46.53
I'm gonna say what do you mean,
00:42:46.54\00:42:47.56
we changed the day,
00:42:47.57\00:42:48.56
you can't change
what God has instituted.
00:42:48.57\00:42:50.39
I'd be checked it out
rather some of you hump up
00:42:50.40\00:42:53.53
your children and
say well, oh well,
00:42:53.54\00:42:54.86
I don't know about that.
00:42:54.87\00:42:56.48
Listen your eternal
destiny depends upon
00:42:56.49\00:42:58.74
you getting into the word of God
00:42:58.75\00:43:00.31
and studying out
what the enemy has done.
00:43:00.32\00:43:02.27
He wants us to get away
from the Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:43:02.28\00:43:04.61
There what that tells
about God is our creator,
00:43:04.62\00:43:07.25
our redeemer, our sustainer.
00:43:07.26\00:43:09.76
There's the only God.
00:43:09.77\00:43:12.56
Devil would say I'm
get rid of that memorial
00:43:12.57\00:43:14.96
the creation of this world.
00:43:14.97\00:43:16.99
Friend, notice
this, this from the third
00:43:17.00\00:43:18.50
just quickly here
from the Catholic World
00:43:18.51\00:43:20.81
in 1894 page 809 says this,
00:43:20.82\00:43:23.29
she roman church
took the pagan Sunday
00:43:23.30\00:43:28.01
dedicated to
Balder, that was what?
00:43:28.02\00:43:29.86
Pagan God and became
00:43:29.87\00:43:31.71
the Christian
Sunday sacred to Jesus.
00:43:31.72\00:43:34.59
How can you take
anything this pagan?
00:43:34.60\00:43:37.01
And this is
because you say well,
00:43:37.02\00:43:38.67
we're gonna change it now
00:43:38.68\00:43:39.76
and we're gonna
make it Christian.
00:43:39.77\00:43:40.90
Now you can't make
anything Christian.
00:43:40.91\00:43:42.97
Its something is
Christian or Christ
00:43:42.98\00:43:44.35
like it because Christ is in it.
00:43:44.36\00:43:46.35
You've to be what?
The truth of God's word.
00:43:46.36\00:43:49.01
Man can't do
that, but the Bible said
00:43:49.02\00:43:50.61
the man would have the
audacity to do these things.
00:43:50.62\00:43:53.76
Point number nine, the Papacy
would rule for 1260 years.
00:43:53.77\00:43:59.01
Daniel 7:25 is that
true, well absolutely.
00:43:59.02\00:44:02.98
You say yeah, but 1260 years.
00:44:02.99\00:44:05.66
I don't, listen in the,
it's Bible we can go down
00:44:05.67\00:44:09.43
and just we've time
to just realize here
00:44:09.44\00:44:11.06
your time in the Jewish year
00:44:11.07\00:44:12.98
that 360 days was what,
360 days to the Jewish year.
00:44:12.99\00:44:19.21
So when you say
a times that's 360,
00:44:19.22\00:44:22.00
when you say a
times, please keep this mind
00:44:22.01\00:44:24.76
that would be
twice that would be 720.
00:44:24.77\00:44:27.53
And you say half a
times that would be
00:44:27.54\00:44:29.18
half of 360 is what, good 180.
00:44:29.19\00:44:32.12
And so you add those
together is 1260 years.
00:44:32.13\00:44:36.05
Just like the Bible said as
this little horn would come up.
00:44:36.06\00:44:39.10
They would
identify so last of them
00:44:39.11\00:44:40.91
a power is went
down, you remember those.
00:44:40.92\00:44:43.02
Sure 5:38 you had 1260
years you come to 17:98.
00:44:43.03\00:44:47.48
It's say that there
will be deadly wound,
00:44:47.49\00:44:48.69
so we need to
concentrate on that.
00:44:48.70\00:44:51.01
But you'll say
yeah but I'm not sure
00:44:51.02\00:44:52.03
about the day for year.
00:44:52.04\00:44:53.63
In prophecy a day what?
00:44:53.64\00:44:55.18
Good, represents a
year, you can find that
00:44:55.19\00:44:58.24
in Ezekiel 4,
verse 6. No.14 verse 34.
00:44:58.25\00:45:02.70
See the papal power
rule from 5:38 to 17:98.
00:45:02.71\00:45:07.69
The Revelation 13, 3 says this,
00:45:07.70\00:45:10.38
that a deadly wound
would be given to this power
00:45:10.39\00:45:13.18
but it would be
healed in the world
00:45:13.19\00:45:14.81
but wonder after this
beast kingdom power you get it.
00:45:14.82\00:45:18.38
Again, but it
says that for those
00:45:18.39\00:45:21.04
whose names are not written
in the Lambs Book of Life.
00:45:21.05\00:45:25.34
You see during this
time right here 17:98
00:45:25.35\00:45:27.75
the pope was
taken in the captivity.
00:45:27.76\00:45:30.28
He died in captivity he
was stripped all of his powers
00:45:30.29\00:45:33.10
for over 50
years he was in exile.
00:45:33.11\00:45:36.91
That the Bible says
that the deadly wound
00:45:36.92\00:45:38.15
would be healed
see the roman papacy
00:45:38.16\00:45:41.36
is the only
power that exactly fits
00:45:41.37\00:45:44.77
all of these nine
identifying characteristics
00:45:44.78\00:45:48.32
in the Book of
Daniel, Chapter 7.
00:45:48.33\00:45:50.98
The only power in
the world that fits
00:45:50.99\00:45:53.41
in the exactly
and in the timeframe,
00:45:53.42\00:45:55.95
it has to be because
God has said that it is.
00:45:55.96\00:45:59.48
In fact, you say, what
I need a little bit more,
00:45:59.49\00:46:01.28
I can give you six
more identifying marks
00:46:01.29\00:46:04.12
of this papal
power, and you see how
00:46:04.13\00:46:06.34
the characteristics go together
in Revelation Chapter 13.
00:46:06.35\00:46:09.79
When you read
verses 1 through 10,
00:46:09.80\00:46:11.19
let me give you those
quick take a quick look of them
00:46:11.20\00:46:13.33
in our time that we have.
00:46:13.34\00:46:14.78
Here's what the, there's what,
00:46:14.79\00:46:15.80
it said about this beast power.
00:46:15.81\00:46:17.44
And the mark of the beast,
00:46:17.45\00:46:18.49
it says here, they
would speak blasphemies.
00:46:18.50\00:46:22.47
So the power we'd
been talking about
00:46:22.48\00:46:24.30
said it would
blasphemy against God.
00:46:24.31\00:46:25.81
Revelation 13, said this power
00:46:25.82\00:46:27.59
that we need to watch
would speak blasphemy,
00:46:27.60\00:46:30.52
What is blasphemy?
00:46:30.53\00:46:33.57
Listen, blasphemy is simply this
00:46:33.58\00:46:35.34
and you can look it up
and know what is in mark 2:7.
00:46:35.35\00:46:39.52
They talked about Jesus.
00:46:39.53\00:46:40.60
Why there is this
man thus speak blasphemy,
00:46:40.61\00:46:43.69
for who can
forgive sin but God only.
00:46:43.70\00:46:46.40
So there will be a
religious as it were.
00:46:46.41\00:46:48.84
He's someone at
the head organization,
00:46:48.85\00:46:51.01
they would claim to be
able to forgive sin on earth.
00:46:51.02\00:46:55.09
No one can do that.
00:46:55.10\00:46:56.78
You can go to
confession, let us be bold,
00:46:56.79\00:46:58.50
confession oh, you
won't bless your hearts.
00:46:58.51\00:47:00.83
You maybe fool.
00:47:00.84\00:47:02.70
But there's only one mediate,
you might be praying to Mary,
00:47:02.71\00:47:05.58
she is not the
mediator, dear friend.
00:47:05.59\00:47:07.31
There is nothing in scripture
that tells us that she is.
00:47:07.32\00:47:10.65
In fact the Bible
says, there is one mediator
00:47:10.66\00:47:12.21
between God and
man and who is it?
00:47:12.22\00:47:14.72
Jesus, that's exactly
right. So we're praying to Mary.
00:47:14.73\00:47:17.86
We're praying
someone is dead in the grave.
00:47:17.87\00:47:20.71
Where God telling
our sins to individual,
00:47:20.72\00:47:22.93
they can't do anything about it.
00:47:22.94\00:47:25.43
Why? Because the Bible says so?
00:47:25.44\00:47:27.20
Now, if you're
not using the Bible,
00:47:27.21\00:47:28.27
you can believe
anything that you want.
00:47:28.28\00:47:29.75
But friend, you're going
to be in trouble and so am I.
00:47:29.76\00:47:32.64
so we need to get back
to the word of God say,
00:47:32.65\00:47:34.14
this is what God says,
00:47:34.15\00:47:35.47
this is what man has
said and expose it for such.
00:47:35.48\00:47:38.58
Not to hurt you, but
to get this thing plain.
00:47:38.59\00:47:40.98
Six important point and
what he would speak blasphemy.
00:47:40.99\00:47:44.26
That's the only
religion organization
00:47:44.27\00:47:45.56
I know that
what, they've claimed
00:47:45.57\00:47:47.04
to forgive sin on earth.
00:47:47.05\00:47:48.55
Revelation 13:5 and Daniel 7:25.
00:47:48.56\00:47:52.08
Both would be a
world power universal,
00:47:52.09\00:47:55.10
Revelation 13:7 and Daniel 7:23.
00:47:55.11\00:48:00.64
Both would be a religious power,
00:48:00.65\00:48:03.24
that mean political
power and a religious power.
00:48:03.25\00:48:06.10
Four, both would rule
what we're talking about
00:48:06.11\00:48:08.17
what we studied in
Daniel 7, Revelation 13
00:48:08.18\00:48:10.50
both the Bible
said, would rule for what?
00:48:10.51\00:48:12.12
1260 years or days for
year in Bible prophecy.
00:48:12.13\00:48:17.34
That simply means
you read and say yeah,
00:48:17.35\00:48:18.85
but I thought it said 42 months,
00:48:18.86\00:48:20.62
look at the day for a year
00:48:20.63\00:48:21.62
and you will
stay at 1260 a time,
00:48:21.63\00:48:24.29
times and dividing if times.
00:48:24.30\00:48:26.13
42 months, 1260.
They're all the same.
00:48:26.14\00:48:29.59
God is repeating
these things for us,
00:48:29.60\00:48:31.38
so that we can understand,
00:48:31.39\00:48:32.54
so that we need
not make a mistake.
00:48:32.55\00:48:34.49
Both would rule,
both would try listen,
00:48:34.50\00:48:36.95
they would try
Daniel 7, Revelation 13,
00:48:36.96\00:48:39.28
try to change times and laws.
00:48:39.29\00:48:41.65
Did the Papacy do that?
00:48:41.66\00:48:43.09
Oh, Revelation 13: 5 was
clear and 16 and 17 Daniel 7:25.
00:48:43.10\00:48:47.99
And they also, both
would persecute God's people.
00:48:48.00\00:48:51.28
Revelation 13:17
please keep that in mind.
00:48:51.29\00:48:53.91
Daniel 7:25 again, so
the Beast of Revelation 13,
00:48:53.92\00:48:58.36
is the same as the little
horn power of Daniel Chapter 7.
00:48:58.37\00:49:01.63
Oh, I know, this
lot of information.
00:49:01.64\00:49:03.54
But here's the big question.
00:49:03.55\00:49:04.59
No I'm gonna get down to,
00:49:04.60\00:49:05.68
I'm just going to leave
some explosive things with you
00:49:05.69\00:49:08.23
in last four five
minutes that we have.
00:49:08.24\00:49:11.13
This is, this is we've
got qualifier a lot of folks.
00:49:11.14\00:49:14.08
But let me tell you,
you know I would be afraid,
00:49:14.09\00:49:17.06
I would fear, what God might do
00:49:17.07\00:49:19.40
for me or you who
know what the truth is.
00:49:19.41\00:49:21.74
If we re-hold with hope because
00:49:21.75\00:49:23.76
it might hurt someone's feeling.
00:49:23.77\00:49:25.42
All better to have our
feelings hurt now as it were.
00:49:25.43\00:49:28.35
We wounded a little a
bit, what, and make it change.
00:49:28.36\00:49:31.52
And be saved in God's kingdom.
00:49:31.53\00:49:33.94
So this is very interesting,
00:49:33.95\00:49:35.07
so the devil then
joined the church,
00:49:35.08\00:49:36.42
so he's a power in a kingdom
00:49:36.43\00:49:38.86
and he is setting
himself up to rule,
00:49:38.87\00:49:41.98
but he can't do it
outside the church,
00:49:41.99\00:49:43.91
so he has in religious
organization now so call.
00:49:43.92\00:49:47.47
But notice his so
called religious organization,
00:49:47.48\00:49:49.60
doesn't really
believe in the Bible.
00:49:49.61\00:49:51.57
And most of the all their
beliefs in is traditions of men.
00:49:51.58\00:49:56.28
Can that really be religion?
Can that really be a faith?
00:49:56.29\00:49:59.85
Wow, this is how
the devil is ruling,
00:49:59.86\00:50:02.62
so the big question
is where did the beast,
00:50:02.63\00:50:05.20
and the little
horn or the antichrist,
00:50:05.21\00:50:08.97
mystery in it, where
did he get this power?
00:50:08.98\00:50:11.47
Where did he get this power?
00:50:11.48\00:50:12.67
How can it come go
through all the channel?
00:50:12.68\00:50:14.82
And all of a sudden
it's in complete control.
00:50:14.83\00:50:17.78
The world wondered after,
yeah in this Revelation 13:2.
00:50:17.79\00:50:22.54
Listen this,
Revelation 13:2 says,
00:50:22.55\00:50:25.79
"The dragon gave him his power,
00:50:25.80\00:50:29.19
his seat and his
authority," did you get that.?
00:50:29.20\00:50:32.80
The dragon is
identified in Revelation 12,
00:50:32.81\00:50:35.00
you can read verses 7 through 9.
00:50:35.01\00:50:37.20
So the dragon there or
the devil gave this power
00:50:37.21\00:50:39.57
its seat and its authority,
let just be real bold.
00:50:39.58\00:50:43.98
You know what
Martin Luther said?
00:50:43.99\00:50:45.49
See somebody will
say all right I can't,
00:50:45.50\00:50:47.03
I'm not going to
go along with that.
00:50:47.04\00:50:48.48
Listen you're just fighting God
00:50:48.49\00:50:49.92
and you're fighting the word.
00:50:49.93\00:50:51.74
I just want to be plain, I
want you to feel conviction.
00:50:51.75\00:50:54.91
You know what this there's
something about this here.
00:50:54.92\00:50:57.34
It's part of the man and
if you're a commandment keeper
00:50:57.35\00:51:01.03
and you shine away from
this today, shame on you.
00:51:01.04\00:51:04.97
God has commissioned
you to give the first,
00:51:04.98\00:51:06.85
second and third angel's message
00:51:06.86\00:51:08.45
which is warning
against the beast power.
00:51:08.46\00:51:10.37
Nothing is to occupy the mind
00:51:10.38\00:51:11.95
but the giving of the
three angels' messages.
00:51:11.96\00:51:14.88
Not worrying about
whether you're going to be
00:51:14.89\00:51:15.91
accepted by
other religions or not
00:51:15.92\00:51:17.66
or others denominations
rather people or not.
00:51:17.67\00:51:19.94
Mind are you gonna
be accepted of God.
00:51:19.95\00:51:22.07
Are you going to do
what God has asked you to do,
00:51:22.08\00:51:23.89
it's hard to understand.
00:51:23.90\00:51:26.97
Martin Luther said this,
00:51:26.98\00:51:28.02
listen in the book by
D'Aubigne in Chapter 9,
00:51:28.03\00:51:30.88
you know what he said.
00:51:30.89\00:51:32.14
Martin Luther
quoted he said this,
00:51:32.15\00:51:34.05
for at last I know that
the pope is the antichrist.
00:51:34.06\00:51:40.08
Ah and that his throne
is that of Satan himself.
00:51:40.09\00:51:44.58
Ooh man heavy duty,
it takes your breath.
00:51:44.59\00:51:48.94
Martin Luther said that.
00:51:48.95\00:51:54.89
And the Bible has
said that he gave him,
00:51:54.90\00:51:56.90
the devil gave him his power,
00:51:56.91\00:51:58.73
his seat and he
has a great authority.
00:51:58.74\00:52:00.58
He would think to rule.
00:52:00.59\00:52:01.60
He be like the most high,
00:52:01.61\00:52:02.92
he would and all
these identifying marks
00:52:02.93\00:52:05.21
point to the papers,
you know, they are about it.
00:52:05.22\00:52:07.99
So man, what
would you say today?
00:52:08.00\00:52:12.72
May I go just a step further,
00:52:12.73\00:52:13.97
I may already try to
buried myself already to some.
00:52:13.98\00:52:18.44
So I can say today,
and I'm not going to blink
00:52:18.45\00:52:21.44
when I say it that the Vatican
today is where Satan sits.
00:52:21.45\00:52:27.93
Not talking about
men, not talking about,
00:52:27.94\00:52:29.92
you know, talking
about an organization
00:52:29.93\00:52:32.77
who's ruling in
the affairs of men.
00:52:32.78\00:52:35.74
That's what the Bible says,
00:52:35.75\00:52:36.81
that's what the history records,
00:52:36.82\00:52:38.58
that's what we're
commissioned to give
00:52:38.59\00:52:39.86
and to warn the world
here in these last days.
00:52:39.87\00:52:42.09
No, not very tasteful, is it?
00:52:42.10\00:52:46.20
Little horn Daniel 7:25,
00:52:46.21\00:52:48.13
the little Catholic Church
is that little horn power.
00:52:48.14\00:52:50.99
It's the beast
of Revelation 13:1.
00:52:51.00\00:52:53.56
It's the mother of
harlots in Revelation 17:5.
00:52:53.57\00:52:56.59
This and now I'm going to go
00:52:56.60\00:52:57.65
this right before we have prayer
00:52:57.66\00:52:58.92
and before we quit today.
00:52:58.93\00:53:01.23
This includes did you get
it, this includes all churches.
00:53:01.24\00:53:05.76
You might call yourself a
Protestant Church or whatever.
00:53:05.77\00:53:08.58
I'm gonna throw this out to you.
00:53:08.59\00:53:10.66
All churches include, we said,
00:53:10.67\00:53:12.37
what it's the
beast of Revelation 13,
00:53:12.38\00:53:14.63
it's the mother of harlots.
00:53:14.64\00:53:16.09
The world has become drunk
00:53:16.10\00:53:17.39
right my wife had
read that in the beginning.
00:53:17.40\00:53:19.70
We're talking about
mysterious Babylon the great.
00:53:19.71\00:53:25.18
This includes all
churches that unite with her
00:53:25.19\00:53:31.33
and teach her false doctrines.
00:53:31.34\00:53:33.65
You don't have to
belong to Roman Church,
00:53:33.66\00:53:35.67
but if you accept her teachings
00:53:35.68\00:53:37.11
and her doctrines as truth
00:53:37.12\00:53:39.03
and you accept those things,
00:53:39.04\00:53:40.03
dear friends, you're in trouble.
00:53:40.04\00:53:42.10
Her doom is
foretold in Revelation 18.
00:53:42.11\00:53:45.71
Mystery Babylon the
great the mother of harlots
00:53:45.72\00:53:49.01
the Bible says, the
abomination of the earth.
00:53:49.02\00:53:51.43
She has a
golden cup in her hand.
00:53:51.44\00:53:53.45
She's sitting on
scarlet colored beast,
00:53:53.46\00:53:55.13
Revelation 13 to 17 and 3
verses 4 read 5 through 18.
00:53:55.14\00:54:00.09
Read all these not
here in fact in 18:25
00:54:00.10\00:54:03.53
Pope Leo XII, you
know, what he did?
00:54:03.54\00:54:05.22
He printed a coin on one
side of coin he had his image.
00:54:05.23\00:54:08.81
On the other side of
the coin he had a woman
00:54:08.82\00:54:10.96
with a cup in her hand
sitting on the top of the world.
00:54:10.97\00:54:15.07
May God help us today.
00:54:15.08\00:54:16.28

00:54:25.74\00:54:26.91

00:54:28.21\00:54:29.23
and God needs to
help us understand.
00:54:29.24\00:54:30.84

those who have heard
00:54:33.32\00:54:35.27

and hearts will be open
00:54:35.28\00:54:36.57
to receive what
you have for them
00:54:36.58\00:54:37.94

00:54:37.95\00:54:41.10
Thank you for joining us.
00:54:41.11\00:54:42.13

difficult for you today,
00:54:42.14\00:54:44.31
but, you know what?
00:54:44.32\00:54:45.31
Study to show yourself approved.
00:54:45.32\00:54:47.03
You come up with
different information
00:54:47.04\00:54:48.59

00:54:48.60\00:54:50.47
And you realize that we continue
00:54:50.48\00:54:51.59

00:54:51.60\00:54:53.56
but they're the
truth of God's word
00:54:53.57\00:54:55.03
and what we
introduce God's people
00:54:55.04\00:54:56.37
and the only support
that we've coming in us
00:54:56.38\00:54:58.68

offering of God's people.
00:54:58.69\00:55:00.88
And so please

00:55:02.52\00:55:03.93
See you next time.
00:55:03.94\00:55:05.24
Hello again, God has left us
00:55:06.68\00:55:09.39
with so much
information in His holy word.
00:55:09.40\00:55:13.12
It's always amazing to see
00:55:13.13\00:55:15.09
how well He
describes nations and events
00:55:15.10\00:55:17.97
and prophecy for us to pray over
00:55:17.98\00:55:20.40
and to search out
while we're fitting
00:55:20.41\00:55:22.37
the pieces together
with recorded history.
00:55:22.38\00:55:25.98
In summary of today's message,
00:55:25.99\00:55:27.92
Mystery Babylon the Great,
00:55:27.93\00:55:29.99
allow me to reiterate our study
00:55:30.00\00:55:32.12
by reading just a
portion of a paragraph
00:55:32.13\00:55:35.07
found in the book
the Great Controversy
00:55:35.08\00:55:37.65
on page 382 we read.
00:55:37.66\00:55:40.73
The power that
for so many centuries
00:55:40.74\00:55:43.52
maintained despotic
sway over the monarchs
00:55:43.53\00:55:47.26
of Christendom is Rome.
00:55:47.27\00:55:50.57
The purple and scarlet color,
00:55:50.58\00:55:52.56
the gold and
precious stones and pearls,
00:55:52.57\00:55:55.13
vividly picture the magnificence
00:55:55.14\00:55:57.75
and more than
kingly pomp affected
00:55:57.76\00:56:00.58
by the haughty see of Rome.
00:56:00.59\00:56:02.96
And no other power
could be so truly declared"
00:56:02.97\00:56:06.98
drunken with the
blood of the saints"
00:56:06.99\00:56:09.65
as that church which
has so cruelly persecuted
00:56:09.66\00:56:13.43
the followers of Christ.
00:56:13.44\00:56:15.36
Friends, this marvelous book,
00:56:15.37\00:56:17.92
this marvelous book
would be a wonderful thing
00:56:17.93\00:56:20.46
to add to your home library
00:56:20.47\00:56:22.08
for further study if you
haven't it done so already.
00:56:22.09\00:56:25.50
And we certainly
hope that you'll continue
00:56:25.51\00:56:27.66
to study out all these things
00:56:27.67\00:56:30.17
that we've gone through today.
00:56:30.18\00:56:32.43
And in doing so we
would be following instruction
00:56:32.44\00:56:35.12
as we find in the
Book Second Timothy
00:56:35.13\00:56:37.79
Chapter 2 and
verse 15 where we read,
00:56:37.80\00:56:41.40
"Study to show
thyself approved unto God,
00:56:41.41\00:56:44.49
a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed,
00:56:44.50\00:56:47.59
rightly dividing
the Word of Truth."
