Welcome, to
"Behold the Lamb" presents.
00:00:41.65\00:00:43.77
I'm Chris Shelton, your host
00:00:43.80\00:00:45.17
and we're so glad
that you've chosen
00:00:45.20\00:00:47.46
to take sometime today
to study God's Word with us.
00:00:47.49\00:00:51.47
Today's message is the
second in a three-part series
00:00:51.50\00:00:55.83
that we have
entitled, "America in Prophecy."
00:00:55.86\00:00:59.50
America, think about it,
00:00:59.53\00:01:01.28
America, that lamb-like beast
00:01:01.31\00:01:04.06
that John saw rising above
on the earth, in Revelation 13,
00:01:04.09\00:01:08.49
rising out of the
sparsely populated area.
00:01:08.52\00:01:11.76
Yet, we are warned.
00:01:11.79\00:01:13.94
We're warned that
it spoke like a dragon.
00:01:13.97\00:01:16.53
A name given in prophecy to
the enemy and so is the devil.
00:01:16.56\00:01:21.09
I encourage you
to read Revelation 13
00:01:21.12\00:01:23.68
and to compare the
symbolism used here
00:01:23.71\00:01:25.96
with other verses in the Bible,
00:01:25.99\00:01:27.92
so that you may also ascertain
00:01:27.95\00:01:30.26
the proper
definition of these words.
00:01:30.29\00:01:32.93
And looking back at the founding
of this great nation of ours--
00:01:32.96\00:01:37.01
a land where so many people
00:01:37.04\00:01:39.50
found religious
freedom from persecution
00:01:39.53\00:01:42.44
that they had
endured for so long
00:01:42.47\00:01:44.96
in other countries of the East.
00:01:44.99\00:01:46.93
People who had
witnessed the tragic loss
00:01:46.96\00:01:49.93
of millions of lives
over centuries just because
00:01:49.96\00:01:54.56
they had believed and they
had lived out the Word of God.
00:01:54.59\00:01:59.27
It is been wrong noted that
00:01:59.30\00:02:00.95
the power and the
prosperity of this nation
00:02:00.98\00:02:03.81
with the direct
result of the fact
00:02:03.84\00:02:06.25
that it's governing
principles were founded
00:02:06.28\00:02:09.32
upon
Republicanism and Protestantism.
00:02:09.35\00:02:12.78
Two words we
rarely hear used anymore.
00:02:12.81\00:02:16.28
The reason for this is
because our choices as a nation
00:02:16.31\00:02:20.33
has moved as
further and further away
00:02:20.36\00:02:23.05
from these two
great distinctions
00:02:23.08\00:02:25.31
and closer to the
scriptures prediction
00:02:25.34\00:02:27.94
of forming an
image to the beast.
00:02:27.97\00:02:30.46
But just what is this
image and how can it be formed?
00:02:30.49\00:02:34.36
I'm sure at some point
before the close of this series,
00:02:34.39\00:02:37.97
Pastor Kenny Shelton
will address these questions
00:02:38.00\00:02:41.06
with much more clarity.
00:02:41.09\00:02:42.84
So stay tuned, won't you?
00:02:42.87\00:02:44.81
As we begin part two
of "America in Prophecy."
00:02:44.84\00:02:48.38
But, first we are so blessed
with the song that is entitled,
00:02:48.41\00:02:52.75
"What a Friend" sung
by Pastor John Lomacang
00:02:52.78\00:02:56.59
from the 3ABN Worship Center.
00:02:56.62\00:02:59.39
What a friend we have in Jesus
00:03:12.07\00:03:19.94
All our sins and griefs to bear
00:03:21.74\00:03:28.41
What a privilege to carry
00:03:31.22\00:03:38.72
Everything to God in prayer
00:03:40.35\00:03:47.55
Oh, what peace we often forfeit
00:03:50.36\00:03:58.36
And oh, what
needless pain we bear
00:03:59.92\00:04:07.03
It's all because we do not carry
00:04:09.32\00:04:17.32
Everything to God in prayer
00:04:18.87\00:04:26.87
Are we weak and heavy-laden?
00:04:33.98\00:04:41.98
Are we cumbered
with a load of care?
00:04:43.20\00:04:50.70
Precious Savior, still my refuge
00:04:53.28\00:05:01.28
Take it to the Lord in prayer
00:05:02.55\00:05:10.05
Do thy friends
despise, forsake thee?
00:05:12.85\00:05:20.35
So take it to the Lord in prayer
00:05:21.05\00:05:28.55
In His arms He'll
take and shield thee
00:05:31.73\00:05:39.73
Thou wilt find a solace there
00:05:45.70\00:05:53.70
Take it to the Lord in prayer
00:06:01.98\00:06:07.45
Thanks for joining us here
at Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:06:16.36\00:06:18.56
We do appreciate
each and every one of you.
00:06:18.59\00:06:21.48
You're tuning in.
You're sending your DVRs.
00:06:21.51\00:06:23.90
You're recording
when may you're at work,
00:06:23.93\00:06:25.88
we praise God for that.
00:06:25.91\00:06:27.35
And you're
sending in those cards
00:06:27.38\00:06:28.75
and those letters
and those questions
00:06:28.78\00:06:30.24
and certainly
you're asking for the books
00:06:30.27\00:06:32.09
and things that
we're offering Here
00:06:32.12\00:06:33.49
Praise God for that.
00:06:33.52\00:06:34.89
You know, with all these
books we need to be reading them
00:06:34.92\00:06:37.13
and distributing them for
the hour in which we live.
00:06:37.16\00:06:39.53
And we pray this program
will help to be a blessing
00:06:39.56\00:06:42.15
as we study
"America in Prophecy."
00:06:42.18\00:06:44.95
It's much more important
what many people realize,
00:06:44.98\00:06:47.75
what is soon to take
place in this country
00:06:47.78\00:06:49.84
and if wecannot see it
building into that right now,
00:06:49.87\00:06:52.96
we need to be praying that
God gives us understanding.
00:06:52.99\00:06:56.18
And speaking about prayer,
why don't we do that right now.
00:06:56.21\00:06:59.59
Why don't we pray together
00:06:59.62\00:07:00.99
the Holy Spirit want
to enlighten us to this?
00:07:01.02\00:07:02.84
It's a fantastic
study, but boy I'm telling you
00:07:02.87\00:07:05.36
as you get into
the Word of God's
00:07:05.39\00:07:07.01
many of you will
shake your heads and say
00:07:07.04\00:07:08.41
this just cannot
happen in our country.
00:07:08.44\00:07:11.54
Be assured, God's word, right,
00:07:11.57\00:07:14.26
prophecy, it says that it will.
00:07:14.29\00:07:15.92
So as we begin to study,
00:07:15.95\00:07:17.32
we need enlightenment
of the Holy Spirit.
00:07:17.35\00:07:19.07
Let's pray together, shall we?
00:07:19.10\00:07:21.69
Merciful Father,
in heaven we thank you
00:07:21.72\00:07:23.62
for the privilege of prayer.
00:07:23.65\00:07:25.02
We ask now, as your Holy Spirit
00:07:25.05\00:07:26.43
will enlighten each
and every one of us.
00:07:26.46\00:07:28.69
We pray that
heaven will speak to us
00:07:28.72\00:07:30.53
and we may see this
prophecy as it really is
00:07:30.56\00:07:34.09
and how it pertains to
each and every one of us,
00:07:34.12\00:07:36.25
not only in this
country but around the world.
00:07:36.28\00:07:39.22
May your spirit now
had your will and your way,
00:07:39.25\00:07:41.89
bless those who
view, those who listen,
00:07:41.92\00:07:43.73
we pray each heart
and mind will be open.
00:07:43.76\00:07:46.21
In Jesus name we pray, amen.
00:07:46.24\00:07:50.06
Take your Bible if you'll
and turn to Revelation 13.
00:07:50.09\00:07:52.98
Now again, we're
going to go over,
00:07:53.01\00:07:54.38
again we--this is
the second-part remember.
00:07:54.41\00:07:56.62
So the first-part lot of
information that you need
00:07:56.65\00:07:59.36
in order to make
this all come together.
00:07:59.39\00:08:01.78
Let me just
give you a few points
00:08:01.81\00:08:03.46
if you allow me to do
that, that we discussed.
00:08:03.49\00:08:06.07
And this will just
beating kind of nail,
00:08:06.10\00:08:07.95
you hammer right on
the head of that nail.
00:08:07.98\00:08:09.80
So here we go.
00:08:09.83\00:08:11.20
Few points need to be made
00:08:11.23\00:08:12.60
and this will help us
based on Bible prophecy.
00:08:12.63\00:08:14.84
Number one, we
studied last time together,
00:08:14.87\00:08:18.44
that God is going to intervene
00:08:18.47\00:08:20.72
here in United
Sates, in the world,
00:08:20.75\00:08:22.89
when we abandoned our
Protestant principles.
00:08:22.92\00:08:26.19
Do you see that happening?
00:08:26.22\00:08:27.59
I think you do. It's into what?
00:08:27.62\00:08:29.57
It's including our
religious freedom, isn't it?
00:08:29.60\00:08:31.25
We see that
happening now today too.
00:08:31.28\00:08:33.66
There are those who are
making a real surge right now,
00:08:33.69\00:08:36.65
an effort to change our
constitution and to secure laws.
00:08:36.68\00:08:41.02
Now these
change in constitutions
00:08:41.05\00:08:43.35
and changes in
some of these laws
00:08:43.38\00:08:44.86
will affect us--
our religious liberty.
00:08:44.89\00:08:47.77
So be aware, it's happening,
00:08:47.80\00:08:49.55
it's going right now before us.
00:08:49.58\00:08:51.69
Point number three,
always to secure popularity,
00:08:51.72\00:08:56.18
we have those in
office, our senate,
00:08:56.21\00:08:58.25
our legislators that they vote,
00:08:58.28\00:09:00.06
they're going to try to
vote to, what? Popular demand.
00:09:00.09\00:09:03.43
So whatever the
community, whatever the world,
00:09:03.46\00:09:06.22
whatever the areas,
the majority is doing it
00:09:06.25\00:09:08.83
then you know, in order,
00:09:08.86\00:09:10.29
to retain their office
and be reelected again.
00:09:10.32\00:09:13.16
They'll say, well
let's go along with this.
00:09:13.19\00:09:15.05
Friend, we need to
realize its contrary
00:09:15.08\00:09:18.08
when it comes to religious laws,
00:09:18.11\00:09:19.56
contrary to the law of
God, certainly, moral law.
00:09:19.59\00:09:23.37
Four, our country will
do away with every, every--
00:09:23.40\00:09:27.54
it'll side stamp,
it'll change or justify,
00:09:27.57\00:09:31.14
it'll try to change every
principle of our constitution.
00:09:31.17\00:09:34.71
Please, keep that in mind.
00:09:34.74\00:09:36.39
You say that's
impossibility in this study.
00:09:36.42\00:09:38.35
You'll see that
it's not impossibility.
00:09:38.38\00:09:40.53
So we find, we've
Republic and we have a what?
00:09:40.56\00:09:43.59
We've a Republic
government and Protestant.
00:09:43.62\00:09:45.69
These principles will be changed
00:09:45.72\00:09:48.77
as we move on closer
to the coming of Jesus.
00:09:48.80\00:09:51.42
We already see it right now.
00:09:51.45\00:09:52.82
Number five, church and states
going to, what? Unite together.
00:09:52.85\00:09:56.11
Are they not
already? Absolutely they are.
00:09:56.14\00:09:58.48
Will it be, you know,
little thicker as we go along.
00:09:58.51\00:10:00.93
Absolutely, it will be.
00:10:00.96\00:10:03.11
Many are saying right
now this can't happen.
00:10:03.14\00:10:05.05
Just hold on to your seat.
00:10:05.08\00:10:06.48
In religious freedom,
our liberties are being
00:10:06.51\00:10:08.92
taken away from us
everyday here on this earth.
00:10:08.95\00:10:12.42
Everyday, a little
bit more is taken away.
00:10:12.45\00:10:15.54
Seven, I believe
this with all my heart.
00:10:15.57\00:10:17.95
Number seven, United
States is going to be
00:10:17.98\00:10:21.17
based on Bible
prophecy, humble to the dust.
00:10:21.20\00:10:25.03
What does that mean?
What do you mean humble?
00:10:25.06\00:10:27.37
That why are we
going to be humble to dust.
00:10:27.40\00:10:29.20
We're already
being humbled right now
00:10:29.23\00:10:31.43
that's because we have
asked God to leave the country.
00:10:31.46\00:10:34.51
We're taking God
out of everything,
00:10:34.54\00:10:36.36
we rebelling against God.
00:10:36.39\00:10:39.05
So, therefore, we
cannot possibly, what?
00:10:39.08\00:10:40.92
Have the blessings of God.
00:10:40.95\00:10:43.14
Now, in part two,
00:10:43.17\00:10:44.54
as we're talking
about "American Prophecy."
00:10:44.57\00:10:46.30
We need to begin with
something very, very important.
00:10:46.33\00:10:49.28
Now again you need to
jot these things down.
00:10:49.31\00:10:52.46
We're going to
identify the beast number one.
00:10:52.49\00:10:55.31
Identify the beast
coming up out of the earth,
00:10:55.34\00:10:57.75
that's very, very important.
00:10:57.78\00:10:59.15
As we begin to-- it
has two horns remember.
00:10:59.18\00:11:01.05
It came up out of the
earth and it had two horns.
00:11:01.08\00:11:03.72
So we're going to
look at this very closely.
00:11:03.75\00:11:05.88
It came up as the
first beast was going down
00:11:05.91\00:11:09.18
of Revelation
13:1-10. These are keys.
00:11:09.21\00:11:13.90
This beast we're talking about
coming up out of the earth,
00:11:13.93\00:11:17.48
it's coming up as
the first beast was what?
00:11:17.51\00:11:20.19
Good, was going down.
00:11:20.22\00:11:21.65
This helps to see
in the timeframe here.
00:11:21.68\00:11:23.72
We can read that
Revelation 13:1-10.
00:11:23.75\00:11:26.05
Now remember, this power,
00:11:26.08\00:11:27.97
this first beast
power, received what?
00:11:28.00\00:11:30.23
Good, "a deadly wound"
Revelation 13:3, notice.
00:11:30.26\00:11:34.74
So we know the timeframe.
00:11:34.77\00:11:36.56
So we're going to
talk more about that.
00:11:36.59\00:11:38.01
You say, a deadly
wound, I don't know.
00:11:38.04\00:11:40.01
Well, you remember the
deadly wound took place in 1798,
00:11:40.04\00:11:43.71
when Pope Pius VI, was taken,
00:11:43.74\00:11:46.95
remember prisoner by
the French General Berthier.
00:11:46.98\00:11:50.29
And so people have asked this,
00:11:50.32\00:11:51.69
they'll say, well, why
was the General Berthier--
00:11:51.72\00:11:54.82
but he was under what? Napoleon.
00:11:54.85\00:11:57.06
Why would Napoleon worry
about the pope at his position?
00:11:57.09\00:12:02.00
That's a good question.
00:12:02.03\00:12:04.21
You know, taking
over another country,
00:12:04.24\00:12:05.63
why would we
worry about the pope.
00:12:05.66\00:12:07.86
You know, here's
what Napoleon said.
00:12:07.89\00:12:10.66
He said, in order for me
00:12:10.69\00:12:12.27
to conquer
Europe, that was his goal.
00:12:12.30\00:12:14.87
I'm going to have to make sure,
00:12:14.90\00:12:16.50
strip the papacy of their power.
00:12:16.53\00:12:18.60
You tell me the
papacy wasn't powerful then
00:12:18.63\00:12:20.38
for Napoleon to
think that way? Absolutely.
00:12:20.41\00:12:23.61
You can never conquer
until the papacy went down.
00:12:23.64\00:12:26.25
So we realize htey are okay,
00:12:26.28\00:12:27.65
the papacy came to
power in what 538 A.D.
00:12:27.68\00:12:31.00
continued for a
1260 years until 1798.
00:12:31.03\00:12:37.72
And notice this, that's when
00:12:37.75\00:12:39.92
the papacy lost
its temporal dominion.
00:12:39.95\00:12:43.18
And then it received
its what? Deadly wound.
00:12:43.21\00:12:45.35
We have to
establish this if you don't,
00:12:45.38\00:12:47.40
we're gonna be confused
00:12:47.43\00:12:48.84
just like majority are
seeing that the world today
00:12:48.87\00:12:51.03
are confused about
these beast powers.
00:12:51.06\00:12:53.49
If we can establish
if we only shout about
00:12:53.52\00:12:55.32
go over to it few times I know,
00:12:55.35\00:12:56.94
it's going to
become clear to you.
00:12:56.97\00:12:59.11
Bible said,
receive the deadly wound.
00:12:59.14\00:13:01.51
Now what does that mean?
00:13:01.54\00:13:02.91
One simply lost this
power. But then it said what?
00:13:02.94\00:13:05.26
The deadly
wound would be healed.
00:13:05.29\00:13:07.07
History also
provides us good information.
00:13:07.10\00:13:09.68
In 1929 Mussolini,
we realize gave back
00:13:09.71\00:13:13.06
the civil as well as religious
authority to the papacy again.
00:13:13.09\00:13:17.11
Man, that's kind of
interesting, isn't it?
00:13:17.14\00:13:19.55
Daniel said, in Daniel
7:25, he said that this power
00:13:19.58\00:13:23.11
would think to change
times and law, that's good.
00:13:23.14\00:13:26.30
Keep this in the mind,
00:13:26.33\00:13:27.70
keep this in the mind
as we continue to study.
00:13:27.73\00:13:29.60
The only nation
coming up at this time
00:13:29.63\00:13:32.93
rising to
prominence would be what?
00:13:32.96\00:13:34.94
Power, as United
States of America.
00:13:34.97\00:13:38.15
So this beast
coming up out of the earth,
00:13:38.18\00:13:40.77
the only one was
doing right into path,
00:13:40.80\00:13:42.18
was United States
pinpointed on the prophecy
00:13:42.21\00:13:45.07
that we've just
been talking about.
00:13:45.10\00:13:46.94
Revelation 13:1, the Bible says,
00:13:46.97\00:13:50.45
"And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth."
00:13:50.48\00:13:54.26
Notice all these words,
00:13:54.29\00:13:55.66
we're gonna
look at them closely.
00:13:55.69\00:13:57.06
"He had two horns like a" What?
00:13:57.09\00:13:58.99
Like a lamb. Wow, "But he
spake" spoke as the "dragon."
00:13:59.02\00:14:04.21
Shouldn't that concern us?
00:14:04.24\00:14:06.49
If we're defining that this
beast coming up is United States
00:14:06.52\00:14:09.48
in Bible Prophecy prove that
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
00:14:09.51\00:14:11.81
They came up as a lamb
00:14:11.84\00:14:13.32
but eventually it
begin to speak as the dragon
00:14:13.35\00:14:15.40
or persecute or as what?
00:14:15.43\00:14:17.06
The first beast that
came up which is the papacy.
00:14:17.09\00:14:20.54
It begins to speak
just like the papacy.
00:14:20.57\00:14:22.47
We're talking about
during the Dark Ages,
00:14:22.50\00:14:24.72
during the 1260
years of persecution.
00:14:24.75\00:14:27.28
How can that
possibly be in this country?
00:14:27.31\00:14:31.28
As we consider this prophecy
00:14:31.31\00:14:33.63
and we must consider
because it'll affect your life.
00:14:33.66\00:14:37.12
It's going to affect mines,
00:14:37.15\00:14:38.52
it's going to
affect the whole world.
00:14:38.55\00:14:40.67
As we contemplate
on this for a moment.
00:14:40.70\00:14:43.27
I want you to listen,
I found little article
00:14:43.30\00:14:45.26
in Review and
Herald in January 1st 1889.
00:14:45.29\00:14:49.29
Here is what it says.
00:14:49.32\00:14:51.47
It says, "Let not
the commandment-keeping
00:14:51.50\00:14:53.35
people of God be
silent at this time
00:14:53.38\00:14:57.49
as though we gracefully
accepted the situation.
00:14:57.52\00:15:02.09
There is the prospect before
us of waging a continuous war."
00:15:02.12\00:15:08.07
What? "At the
risk of imprisonment,
00:15:08.10\00:15:11.54
at the loss of
property and even life itself,
00:15:11.57\00:15:17.34
to defend the law of God."
00:15:17.37\00:15:19.47
Before we finish that
listen, what is it saying here.
00:15:19.50\00:15:21.61
We need to be careful.
00:15:21.64\00:15:23.01
We have to wage a
continuous what? War.
00:15:23.04\00:15:25.60
Now what war we're
talking about here.
00:15:25.63\00:15:27.83
As you do against what?
00:15:27.86\00:15:29.51
The powers that be that
prophecy is talking about here
00:15:29.54\00:15:33.25
and so we have to
continue to warn the world
00:15:33.28\00:15:35.11
about the Mark of the Beast
and the image of the beast,
00:15:35.14\00:15:37.29
Third Angel's message.
00:15:37.32\00:15:38.69
First, Second,
Third Angel's message,
00:15:38.72\00:15:40.31
Revelation 14, we
have to continue do it
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.30
but it's going to
be a cost involved.
00:15:42.33\00:15:44.78
How many of us are
willing about the grace of God?
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.86
It says he might be imprisonment
or lost the property,
00:15:46.89\00:15:50.49
even life itself to
defend the law of God.
00:15:50.52\00:15:54.96
Think about that's what
been attacked is the law of God.
00:15:54.99\00:15:58.64
Very interesting as the
papacy has always done this,
00:15:58.67\00:16:01.71
thinking to change times and law
00:16:01.74\00:16:03.11
and then we find
another power coming up
00:16:03.14\00:16:04.70
saying, I'm going to-- what?
00:16:04.73\00:16:06.10
Lend power back to the
papacy. Very interesting.
00:16:06.13\00:16:10.14
Now, remember
what this article said.
00:16:10.17\00:16:12.82
Because the law of
God is being made void.
00:16:12.85\00:16:16.36
Have you ever read anything
00:16:16.39\00:16:17.76
in scripture
that indicates that--
00:16:17.79\00:16:19.46
oh, sure in Psalms
119:126, it simply says,
00:16:19.49\00:16:24.04
"It is time for
thee, Lord, to work,
00:16:24.07\00:16:27.52
for they have
made void thy law."
00:16:27.55\00:16:31.14
As the law of God
is being made void
00:16:31.17\00:16:35.05
it's time for us to work.
00:16:35.08\00:16:37.97
Work right now while we
can, speak while we can,
00:16:38.00\00:16:40.53
warn the world
while we can right now.
00:16:40.56\00:16:43.69
Because as
Revelation 13:11 says,
00:16:43.72\00:16:46.02
"I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth."
00:16:46.05\00:16:50.67
Think about this
with me, the first beast.
00:16:50.70\00:16:53.72
We talked about
Revelation 13:1-10.
00:16:53.75\00:16:56.08
It says it came up
out of the sea, good.
00:16:56.11\00:16:58.64
Come in, write these down.
00:16:58.67\00:17:00.19
Those of you
studied, you understand
00:17:00.22\00:17:01.63
but those who have not may
be hearing for the first time--
00:17:01.66\00:17:04.29
the first beast
came up out of the sea.
00:17:04.32\00:17:06.65
So we look in the Bible,
in Revelation 17:15, it says,
00:17:06.68\00:17:09.60
the sea represents
peoples and nations there are.
00:17:09.63\00:17:12.16
So the first beast, first power
right that came up the beast,
00:17:12.19\00:17:15.60
the papacy, it
came up out of what?
00:17:15.63\00:17:17.32
Heavy populated area,
00:17:17.35\00:17:18.72
at this point in time
it can only be Europe.
00:17:18.75\00:17:20.73
And so that's what
that means by water.
00:17:20.76\00:17:23.24
It says, "And beast."
00:17:23.27\00:17:24.73
In Daniel 7:23, keep
this in mind Daniel 7:23,
00:17:24.76\00:17:28.63
you say well I don't
know what a beast is.
00:17:28.66\00:17:31.01
"The beast shall be
the fourth kingdom."
00:17:31.04\00:17:33.32
Daniel 7:23
says, so a beast then
00:17:33.35\00:17:35.61
could be a kingdom or a power.
00:17:35.64\00:17:38.28
In fact in Daniel 7:17, it says,
"The beasts are four kings."
00:17:38.31\00:17:43.67
Good, so what does
the beast represent?
00:17:43.70\00:17:46.02
It represents a
kingdom or a power.
00:17:46.05\00:17:49.02
First beast, coming up
in a heavy populate area,
00:17:49.05\00:17:52.07
the second beast
coming up, Revelation 13.
00:17:52.10\00:17:54.14
It comes up-- what?
00:17:54.17\00:17:55.54
Sparsely populated area
00:17:55.57\00:17:56.94
and hardly anyone
here is just coming up
00:17:56.97\00:17:58.52
and knew hardly anybody there
00:17:58.55\00:18:00.49
but it represents
a kingdom or a power.
00:18:00.52\00:18:02.68
So it's very easy for
us to understand this.
00:18:02.71\00:18:05.17
First beast, the
kingdom, this power.
00:18:05.20\00:18:07.97
You mean, it's coming
up into being right now.
00:18:08.00\00:18:10.50
It's one that we
have to take note.
00:18:10.53\00:18:12.56
First beast and also
the second beast power.
00:18:12.59\00:18:16.18
It's very sad because
this peaceful power coming up
00:18:16.21\00:18:20.91
begins to change
its-- its attitude.
00:18:20.94\00:18:24.28
It begins to, it
beings to demand worship.
00:18:24.31\00:18:27.34
It begins to change all of
that which God had intended
00:18:27.37\00:18:31.81
for this country, this
nation to be for its people.
00:18:31.84\00:18:36.40
I think of Europe and the
things that went on in Europe
00:18:36.43\00:18:39.26
and all the
suffering and the persecution
00:18:39.29\00:18:42.21
and you know, the
time of the reformation
00:18:42.24\00:18:44.59
and the time for God to open up
a place for religious freedom.
00:18:44.62\00:18:49.60
What nation, what power
would rise to give people
00:18:49.63\00:18:53.60
a chance to worship God
again with the free conscience?
00:18:53.63\00:18:56.94
What nation would
rise at this time?
00:18:56.97\00:18:59.89
It's the only, can only
be United States of America.
00:18:59.92\00:19:02.27
God ordained
this country for us,
00:19:02.30\00:19:05.32
a freedom to worship.
00:19:05.35\00:19:07.84
Keep this in mind
and we talked about
00:19:07.87\00:19:09.33
as the French General
Berthier, captured Pope Pius VI,
00:19:09.36\00:19:14.24
remember, and
exiled him to prison.
00:19:14.27\00:19:17.34
The civil power, his
civil power was gone.
00:19:17.37\00:19:20.54
It was stripped.
00:19:20.57\00:19:21.94
And he could no longer--
00:19:21.97\00:19:23.34
not the pope did
this, the papacy did.
00:19:23.37\00:19:25.70
He could no longer rule over
00:19:25.73\00:19:27.52
the kings of the
earth, interesting.
00:19:27.55\00:19:30.39
Now remember
Revelation 3:13 the Bible said,
00:19:30.42\00:19:33.53
there was a deadly wound.
00:19:33.56\00:19:36.16
The deadly wound was healed.
00:19:36.19\00:19:38.36
Now we've talked
little bit about that,
00:19:38.39\00:19:39.78
remember 19:29,
keep that in mind,
00:19:39.81\00:19:42.10
those of you
who are new at this,
00:19:42.13\00:19:43.50
we're repeating
some things--19:29,
00:19:43.53\00:19:45.99
that deadly wound was healed.
00:19:46.02\00:19:47.76
You'll say, yeah but you
know, even the dictionary,
00:19:47.79\00:19:50.03
just take the
dictionary and go and look up
00:19:50.06\00:19:52.67
about the papacy in 1929.
00:19:52.70\00:19:55.16
Here's what it
says, it simply says this.
00:19:55.19\00:19:57.03
Vatican City, look
under Vatican City.
00:19:57.06\00:19:59.24
It says, its
independent Papal State,
00:19:59.27\00:20:02.91
constituted in 1929,
108 acres, papal government.
00:20:02.94\00:20:09.36
So it let you know, you see
00:20:09.39\00:20:10.76
right along the Bible
prophecy that we are on target.
00:20:10.79\00:20:13.74
This beast,
this lamb, with horns
00:20:13.77\00:20:17.00
were seen coming
out of the earth.
00:20:17.03\00:20:20.27
A powerful, powerful nation
was rising up at this time.
00:20:20.30\00:20:24.33
But you know, as it would rise,
00:20:24.36\00:20:26.47
it would not have to
overthrow another power.
00:20:26.50\00:20:30.51
All the others as you will know
00:20:30.54\00:20:32.67
as they came to prominent
00:20:32.70\00:20:34.07
Babylon, Medo-Persia,
Greece or Rome, pagan--
00:20:34.10\00:20:36.60
they ought to fight
their way to the top.
00:20:36.63\00:20:39.14
But this power
that would come up
00:20:39.17\00:20:41.05
out of the earth was
different than the rest.
00:20:41.08\00:20:43.38
It wouldn't have to fight.
00:20:43.41\00:20:46.45
It would be something
that it would rise up.
00:20:46.48\00:20:48.77
It was something
that would grow in a place
00:20:48.80\00:20:51.55
that had not yet been occupied.
00:20:51.58\00:20:54.41
Oh, I think they
came up out of the sea.
00:20:54.44\00:20:56.64
So we know number one,
00:20:56.67\00:20:58.04
it couldn't come
up in the old world.
00:20:58.07\00:20:59.44
So it had to come
up where we talk about
00:20:59.47\00:21:00.84
in the new world, interesting.
00:21:00.87\00:21:04.13
Remember in 1798 the
papacy lost its power,
00:21:04.16\00:21:07.23
we mentioned here as a
nation was just getting started.
00:21:07.26\00:21:12.49
It had promise, it had as
it coming up out of the earth,
00:21:12.52\00:21:15.87
it had promise, it had
the attention of the world.
00:21:15.90\00:21:18.75
Only one nation we can consider
coming up out of the earth.
00:21:18.78\00:21:21.81
Once again, it's
United States of America.
00:21:21.84\00:21:24.16
One writer described
this, United States coming up
00:21:24.19\00:21:28.11
and he said this,
notice in a book called
00:21:28.14\00:21:29.93
"A new world
compared with the old."
00:21:29.96\00:21:32.80
That's on page 462.
00:21:32.83\00:21:34.83
Here's what this
writer says is interesting.
00:21:34.86\00:21:36.92
It said, "The
mystery of her coming forth"
00:21:36.95\00:21:40.29
United States of America
"coming forth from vacancy
00:21:40.32\00:21:43.97
like a silence seed
we grow into an empire."
00:21:44.00\00:21:47.68
Please notice
those points with me.
00:21:47.71\00:21:50.17
This writer of
history wrote this.
00:21:50.20\00:21:52.35
United States is
coming up it's a mystery.
00:21:52.38\00:21:54.58
It's coming forth
from what? From vacancy.
00:21:54.61\00:21:58.30
It didn't fight
its way to the top.
00:21:58.33\00:22:00.06
It was coming forth from vacancy
00:22:00.09\00:22:02.58
from a place that had
not been previously occupied.
00:22:02.61\00:22:05.31
A silent work, no
war involved here.
00:22:05.34\00:22:08.24
And it begins to grow into what?
00:22:08.27\00:22:10.49
An empire. Powerful empire.
00:22:10.52\00:22:14.54
Another statement says this
from European journal in 1850.
00:22:14.57\00:22:18.18
It says this about
the United States emerging
00:22:18.21\00:22:21.34
amid the silence of the
earth daily abiding in its power
00:22:21.37\00:22:25.76
or adding to its
power and its pride.
00:22:25.79\00:22:28.73
United States doing what?
00:22:28.76\00:22:30.13
Coming up, emerging,
00:22:30.16\00:22:31.53
just like Bible
prophecy said right, coming up.
00:22:31.56\00:22:34.49
Clearly
represents the United States
00:22:34.52\00:22:36.71
founded upon the
principles of two things, what?
00:22:36.74\00:22:39.72
Civil and Religious Liberty.
00:22:39.75\00:22:43.02
Now let's may be go a little
bit further on this, shall we?
00:22:43.05\00:22:45.75
Because the Bible said
here that this lamb had what?
00:22:45.78\00:22:48.56
Good, it had two horns.
00:22:48.59\00:22:51.09
What it was it again?
00:22:51.12\00:22:52.49
Good, Civil and
Religious Liberty.
00:22:52.52\00:22:54.88
As we look at this we notice
the horns had no crowns on them.
00:22:54.91\00:22:59.80
Very interesting and so we
look at the characteristics
00:22:59.83\00:23:03.49
of the government
founded on the two principles.
00:23:03.52\00:23:06.34
Number one, we
talked about Civil
00:23:06.37\00:23:08.31
which would be Republicanism.
00:23:08.34\00:23:10.57
Now think about it.
What does that mean?
00:23:10.60\00:23:12.98
Country that would come up
00:23:13.01\00:23:14.38
will be founded on Republicanism
or a nation which, what?
00:23:14.41\00:23:17.80
The supreme power would
rest upon all the citizens.
00:23:17.83\00:23:21.88
A power that what?
00:23:21.91\00:23:23.36
That yeah, exercised by elected
officials or representatives.
00:23:23.39\00:23:28.38
And then this power would be
different than all the others
00:23:28.41\00:23:30.46
because it was--we
talked about Religious Liberty.
00:23:30.49\00:23:33.93
And then we would
say, Protestantism.
00:23:33.96\00:23:36.18
But that's interesting.
00:23:36.21\00:23:37.71
You realize what a Protestant
00:23:37.74\00:23:39.11
or Protestantism is about
00:23:39.14\00:23:40.51
represented by these
horns, Religious Liberty.
00:23:40.54\00:23:43.37
We think about
it, it's any Christian
00:23:43.40\00:23:46.29
not belonging to the
Roman Catholic Church.
00:23:46.32\00:23:49.13
Interesting, or the
Orthodox Eastern Church
00:23:49.16\00:23:52.34
or we talked about a Protestant
00:23:52.37\00:23:54.30
and one who would
what? Protest Catholicism.
00:23:54.33\00:23:58.73
Wow, so what we
should be doing then right?
00:23:58.76\00:24:01.76
We should be
protesting those things
00:24:01.79\00:24:03.43
that are not true to God's word
00:24:03.46\00:24:05.35
but we're in pretty
silence, haven't we?
00:24:05.38\00:24:07.94
You see in the beginning,
this power of the United States
00:24:07.97\00:24:11.68
certainly fit
the symbol of a lamb.
00:24:11.71\00:24:14.32
Oh, it's so
harmless, so pure, so quite,
00:24:14.35\00:24:17.98
so loving but again here's
what I begin to concern on it.
00:24:18.01\00:24:21.72
Because I can see
the religious freedom,
00:24:21.75\00:24:23.33
I can see the
civil freedoms but I see,
00:24:23.36\00:24:25.46
that this is the
way it started out
00:24:25.49\00:24:26.86
but all of the
sudden it begin to change.
00:24:26.89\00:24:29.91
Can't you see
your country changing?
00:24:29.94\00:24:32.29
Is it the same that it's been?
00:24:32.32\00:24:34.48
Just in the last
ten years have you seen
00:24:34.51\00:24:36.46
tremendous changes coming about
00:24:36.49\00:24:39.05
that you thought it would
never happened in this country?
00:24:39.08\00:24:41.36
Then don't shut
this prophecy out.
00:24:41.39\00:24:43.57
Here's this lamb,
again we see the difference.
00:24:43.60\00:24:47.63
We see this-- the power--
00:24:47.66\00:24:49.31
we see these beast they were--
00:24:49.34\00:24:51.62
the previous two they
were noted for their ability
00:24:51.65\00:24:54.42
to make war and to
conquer you remember,
00:24:54.45\00:24:57.77
other nations
but not this country.
00:24:57.80\00:25:02.50
This peaceful, this
young nation spoke like a lamb.
00:25:02.53\00:25:08.00
Then that change came.
00:25:08.03\00:25:09.76
The Bible talks
about in prophecy.
00:25:09.79\00:25:11.83
It begin to speak as the dragon.
00:25:11.86\00:25:13.49
Please do not let this go.
00:25:13.52\00:25:17.92
Beyond the shadow of
doubt, Revelation 13,
00:25:17.95\00:25:20.90
right we're talking
about 11 through 18,
00:25:20.93\00:25:22.86
talking about the United States.
00:25:22.89\00:25:24.65
And if it begins to
speak as the dragon,
00:25:24.68\00:25:26.59
it concerns you
and it concerns me,
00:25:26.62\00:25:28.09
it concerns this world.
00:25:28.12\00:25:29.49
Shouldn't we pay
attention to this? Sure.
00:25:29.52\00:25:32.53
It begins to speak as
a dragon or as a devil
00:25:32.56\00:25:34.57
or a very interesting here,
00:25:34.60\00:25:36.66
it appears
different than its actions
00:25:36.69\00:25:42.35
indicating that a change in
policy would soon take place
00:25:42.38\00:25:46.81
especially in the closing
scenes of earth's history.
00:25:46.84\00:25:50.59
Why, how could it?
00:25:50.62\00:25:51.99
Could it be
because of some crisis?
00:25:52.02\00:25:54.20
Could it be possibly something
happening in our government?
00:25:54.23\00:25:59.01
Could it be
possibly be with our economy?
00:25:59.04\00:26:02.53
That could bring
about some of these changes
00:26:02.56\00:26:04.59
to restrict our
religious liberty
00:26:04.62\00:26:06.81
and may be
change the constitution
00:26:06.84\00:26:08.72
or the bill of rights and
limit some of our freedoms.
00:26:08.75\00:26:11.96
Could it be the economy?
00:26:11.99\00:26:13.52
Could it be
taxes that are so high?
00:26:13.55\00:26:15.57
Could it be health
insurance policies?
00:26:15.60\00:26:18.39
Could it be jobs, you
know, in this country?
00:26:18.42\00:26:21.70
The cost of
everything is rising.
00:26:21.73\00:26:24.67
We have gas, we
have oil in this country.
00:26:24.70\00:26:27.44
You think about
schools, school problems
00:26:27.47\00:26:30.40
from the very
beginning you know, to the end
00:26:30.43\00:26:32.06
and we're talking about
colleges every place you go.
00:26:32.09\00:26:35.54
Retirement, savings.
00:26:35.57\00:26:37.90
People have lost everything
00:26:37.93\00:26:39.30
they've worked all
their life for overnight.
00:26:39.33\00:26:41.73
Government interference
in every area of life.
00:26:41.76\00:26:44.96
We're fighting gun
control, same sex marriages,
00:26:44.99\00:26:48.76
bombings, terrorist threats,
00:26:48.79\00:26:51.26
threat of war,
nuclear war in exchange.
00:26:51.29\00:26:54.36
Friend, I'm just
naming a few things
00:26:54.39\00:26:56.11
that is battering the
United States of America.
00:26:56.14\00:27:00.27
One that was raised you see
in by the principles of God,
00:27:00.30\00:27:02.63
but she begins to
speak because of may be
00:27:02.66\00:27:04.65
some of these situations
here that's demanding it
00:27:04.68\00:27:08.33
and people are
saying we need some changes
00:27:08.36\00:27:09.95
or we're going to go down.
00:27:09.98\00:27:11.55
We're going to be like a
third world country or less.
00:27:11.58\00:27:16.54
We've become a nation,
00:27:16.57\00:27:18.67
Revelation 13 is
indicating strongly.
00:27:18.70\00:27:21.79
An indication that
wants to be regulated by law.
00:27:21.82\00:27:26.10
You say, oh, no, we
don't want to be regulate.
00:27:26.13\00:27:27.74
Ever soon as
some disaster happens
00:27:27.77\00:27:29.52
we all begin to
demand something.
00:27:29.55\00:27:31.45
We begin to
demand for the government
00:27:31.48\00:27:33.89
to step in and
make some more laws.
00:27:33.92\00:27:37.35
Remember, the lamb and
then begin to speak as a dragon.
00:27:37.38\00:27:43.78
We're asking the
government to help us
00:27:43.81\00:27:45.62
in every area of our life
00:27:45.65\00:27:48.01
and even what,
the spiritual aspect,
00:27:48.04\00:27:50.20
the religious aspect,
when they should stay out,
00:27:50.23\00:27:52.52
there should be a
separation of church and state.
00:27:52.55\00:27:55.81
They are wanting to regulate.
Some of us are not getting this.
00:27:55.84\00:27:58.75
Again I'm emphasizing these
00:27:58.78\00:28:00.90
because if you
emphasize and you can see this,
00:28:00.93\00:28:03.29
you can see how this
change can come about,
00:28:03.32\00:28:05.78
because Bible says
it will and it will.
00:28:05.81\00:28:08.17
They're wanting the pass
certain rules--about our eating.
00:28:08.20\00:28:12.53
How much we can eat?
00:28:12.56\00:28:13.93
Our drinking, our calorie intake
00:28:13.96\00:28:17.48
that is not bad within
itself I understand that.
00:28:17.51\00:28:20.17
But what role
does a government have?
00:28:20.20\00:28:22.04
About as much role as they have
00:28:22.07\00:28:23.53
to tell me that I need to
wear a seatbelt in my age.
00:28:23.56\00:28:26.96
Some of you will get
that, some of you won't.
00:28:26.99\00:28:30.44
So we already, see
we're geared in this land
00:28:30.47\00:28:33.73
for this the lamb to
begin to speak like the dragon.
00:28:33.76\00:28:38.43
Just touching on a few
things that get you to think.
00:28:38.46\00:28:40.56
We're already geared up for it.
00:28:40.59\00:28:42.59
It's begot to happen.
00:28:42.62\00:28:43.99
The devil will see, it wants to,
00:28:44.02\00:28:45.39
it's going to take place.
00:28:45.42\00:28:46.79
The Bible said it will.
00:28:46.82\00:28:48.19
And we begin to
see the United States
00:28:48.22\00:28:50.03
will have to
reverse her present policies
00:28:50.06\00:28:54.72
which will affect our worship,
00:28:54.75\00:28:57.58
which will affect
our religious freedom.
00:28:57.61\00:29:00.02
Because we study this,
00:29:00.05\00:29:01.42
you're not been able to buy
yourself say you have the mark.
00:29:01.45\00:29:04.29
Interesting, it's
even going to go so far,
00:29:04.32\00:29:07.29
as it we need and I
hear it all the time.
00:29:07.32\00:29:09.14
I've been hearing it for years.
00:29:09.17\00:29:10.54
We need a common day of worship.
00:29:10.57\00:29:12.91
God's already set the day,
00:29:12.94\00:29:14.31
He said the seventh day is
the Sabbath to the Lord thy God.
00:29:14.34\00:29:16.84
The enemy is going
to say differently.
00:29:16.87\00:29:18.80
We see these laws
coming into being,
00:29:18.83\00:29:22.13
blue law they've always been.
00:29:22.16\00:29:24.61
In our colonies there was
blue laws that were passed,
00:29:24.64\00:29:27.48
making a person worship
even if they didn't want to.
00:29:27.51\00:29:30.46
And if he
didn't want, there was,
00:29:30.49\00:29:31.86
you'd to lose your property
or may be even life itself.
00:29:31.89\00:29:34.63
Wow, Sunday,
closing, Sunday worship.
00:29:34.66\00:29:38.91
This is what Revelation 13--
and we need not pat it down.
00:29:38.94\00:29:41.84
We need not simplify and say,
oh it doesn't really matter.
00:29:41.87\00:29:45.42
I hope we have time today
if not we'd do next program.
00:29:45.45\00:29:48.19
It is the people
who should know better.
00:29:48.22\00:29:52.54
Who study this
prophecy are saying
00:29:52.57\00:29:54.34
may be we should reevaluate
Revelation 13 in prophecy.
00:29:54.37\00:30:00.00
Oh, friend, God
means what He says here.
00:30:00.03\00:30:04.00
in Revelation
13:12 the Bible said,
00:30:04.03\00:30:05.97
"He exercise all the power."
You have your Bible it's here.
00:30:06.00\00:30:08.17
He said "he exercise
00:30:08.20\00:30:10.76
all the power of
the first beast."
00:30:10.79\00:30:13.08
Are you becoming concerned
this beast shadow of the doubt.
00:30:13.11\00:30:17.41
No, no, no doubt whatsoever
as United States of America.
00:30:17.44\00:30:21.51
I'll say it over and over
and over and over till we get
00:30:21.54\00:30:24.13
and least, least
entertain that thought
00:30:24.16\00:30:26.24
if you'd never heard it before.
00:30:26.27\00:30:27.64
Study to see he exercised
00:30:27.67\00:30:29.65
all the power
of the first beast.
00:30:29.68\00:30:31.72
If you understand what
the first beast had done
00:30:31.75\00:30:34.17
in times past and
I'm going to prove
00:30:34.20\00:30:36.05
we'll continue to do it
if put back into power again.
00:30:36.08\00:30:39.08
And friend, you need to
be, you need to be tingling,
00:30:39.11\00:30:41.74
you need to be
jumping up and down
00:30:41.77\00:30:43.14
and say Lord have mercy on us.
00:30:43.17\00:30:45.24
The Bible said, "He
will exercise." What?
00:30:45.27\00:30:47.75
Same "Power of the
first beast before him."
00:30:47.78\00:30:50.43
The first beast had
been wounded what? To death.
00:30:50.46\00:30:53.48
Revelation 13:3.
But he would be in what?
00:30:53.51\00:30:57.16
He would be revived once more.
00:30:57.19\00:31:00.32
He would be involved
in religious affairs,
00:31:00.35\00:31:02.26
he would be
involved in world affairs.
00:31:02.29\00:31:04.76
Think about it.
00:31:04.79\00:31:06.32
Involved in
religious field, interesting.
00:31:06.35\00:31:10.14
Now don't
forget the first beast,
00:31:10.17\00:31:12.54
we're talking
papal power Rome here.
00:31:12.57\00:31:15.59
They're the ones that led
out in what? In persecution.
00:31:15.62\00:31:19.34
They persecuted
everyone who did not go along
00:31:19.37\00:31:21.91
with what they
taught or believed.
00:31:21.94\00:31:24.86
The Bible--I know you will
say, oh, that's impossible.
00:31:24.89\00:31:26.83
No it's not.
00:31:26.86\00:31:28.23
God said it would speak as that
first beast that first power.
00:31:28.26\00:31:32.24
The first beast-
let's emphasize it here.
00:31:32.27\00:31:34.35
You know, I think
we've too much mercy.
00:31:34.38\00:31:37.04
We're too worried about
what other churches think
00:31:37.07\00:31:38.94
or what other people--
how they're going to view us.
00:31:38.97\00:31:41.46
Why not be concerned
to have God has given us
00:31:41.49\00:31:43.33
the message to
give to the world.
00:31:43.36\00:31:45.15
Why not be
concerned about pleasing Him?
00:31:45.18\00:31:48.40
Not trying to
hurt anyone's feelings.
00:31:48.43\00:31:50.31
We're not trying to go against.
00:31:50.34\00:31:51.71
I'm talking about
the papacy in general.
00:31:51.74\00:31:53.63
God has good people everywhere.
00:31:53.66\00:31:55.21
What we have to
look at this first beast
00:31:55.24\00:31:57.03
the papacy used a
combination of church and state.
00:31:57.06\00:32:02.45
And what? It used
the state to do what?
00:32:02.48\00:32:05.06
It would pass religious laws,
to say this is what we want.
00:32:05.09\00:32:07.82
They get the church then
to go and to enforce them.
00:32:07.85\00:32:10.98
They would pressure the people.
00:32:11.01\00:32:12.38
They would
sometime kill the people.
00:32:12.41\00:32:13.98
They would crush the
very life out of them
00:32:14.01\00:32:17.82
if you were in
opposition to their decrees.
00:32:17.85\00:32:21.70
He said, he's gonna
exercise the same things.
00:32:21.73\00:32:23.63
So it indicates
laws that would be passed
00:32:23.66\00:32:25.35
to hampers in to may be
00:32:25.38\00:32:26.87
make you go
against under pressure
00:32:26.90\00:32:29.12
against those things
that you hold so high.
00:32:29.15\00:32:32.11
Religious freedom, worship God.
00:32:32.14\00:32:33.83
According to
the-- your own conscious
00:32:33.86\00:32:35.52
and how you see
fit in the word of God.
00:32:35.55\00:32:37.54
Evidently things
become so bad in this country
00:32:37.57\00:32:40.19
that they figured, it's
better for a few to perish,
00:32:40.22\00:32:42.46
than the whole
world, you remember,
00:32:42.49\00:32:43.86
reading that about Jesus? Yes.
00:32:43.89\00:32:46.57
See, there's many people
today they say Rome has changed.
00:32:46.60\00:32:50.85
Now I need to put this in here
00:32:50.88\00:32:52.25
because it says exercise is
the power of the first beast.
00:32:52.28\00:32:54.87
United States is
going to do this,
00:32:54.90\00:32:57.25
it's so important if
you did not studied it.
00:32:57.28\00:32:59.68
They say Rome has changed,
00:32:59.71\00:33:01.08
in fact she is--
I know she is even--
00:33:01.11\00:33:02.80
I've even heard a little clip
00:33:02.83\00:33:04.20
where Rome is
somewhat apologize,
00:33:04.23\00:33:06.71
not for everything
but for some things.
00:33:06.74\00:33:08.98
But it's interesting, scripture,
00:33:09.01\00:33:11.97
history and Rome in
Rome writings tell us
00:33:12.00\00:33:15.73
she is the same and she will be
00:33:15.76\00:33:18.99
and if she is
given the power again.
00:33:19.02\00:33:22.09
Very
interesting, what do you mean?
00:33:22.12\00:33:24.23
Well, according
Pope Gregory VII,
00:33:24.26\00:33:27.71
this is very interesting.
You just think it through.
00:33:27.74\00:33:29.59
I don't want to go
into detail about it.
00:33:29.62\00:33:31.28
But in his 27 commands
00:33:31.31\00:33:34.06
and it's interesting
about 27, the number 27.
00:33:34.09\00:33:37.84
Some of you get it and
some of you won't, 27 commands.
00:33:37.87\00:33:40.89
I'm just going to read
three of those now, okay.
00:33:40.92\00:33:42.71
I'm just going to read
three of those commands.
00:33:42.74\00:33:44.11
And notice what--
notice what did he said.
00:33:44.14\00:33:47.13
He said "The Roman
church has never erred
00:33:47.16\00:33:50.51
nor will it according
to scripture ever err."
00:33:50.54\00:33:54.53
If you've never err what
do you have to apologize for.
00:33:54.56\00:33:57.22
You see my thinking there.
00:33:57.25\00:33:59.00
Number two, now I'm gonna,
00:33:59.03\00:34:00.40
I'm just
reading three of the 27.
00:34:00.43\00:34:03.08
"The pope that he can--
that he can be judged by no one.
00:34:03.11\00:34:08.47
No one can judge the pope
00:34:08.50\00:34:10.32
or the papacy
for what they did."
00:34:10.35\00:34:12.73
Number three,
"His, the pope sentence
00:34:12.76\00:34:15.56
is not to be reviewed by anyone,
00:34:15.59\00:34:18.96
while he alone can
review decisions of all others."
00:34:18.99\00:34:24.32
So in one hand we're saying
00:34:24.35\00:34:25.72
well, we're sorry
this and this that happened
00:34:25.75\00:34:27.37
and on the other hand it
said we really never have erred
00:34:27.40\00:34:29.50
and we're standing on that
00:34:29.53\00:34:30.90
and they're
still just a legitimate
00:34:30.93\00:34:32.30
today in their teachings.
00:34:32.33\00:34:34.32
So what's really being said,
00:34:34.35\00:34:35.72
the Bible said
that it would return.
00:34:35.75\00:34:37.81
And that's what
it's indicated here.
00:34:37.84\00:34:39.21
Certainly firstly
holding that position
00:34:39.24\00:34:42.43
that they claim as Pope Pius
00:34:42.46\00:34:44.49
or Pope Leo XIII
made this comment
00:34:44.52\00:34:47.61
in his encyclical
letter dated in 1894.
00:34:47.64\00:34:51.06
He said, "We hold upon the earth
the place of God almighty."
00:34:51.09\00:34:56.67
What a big statement?
What a blasphemy statement.
00:34:56.70\00:35:01.74
Friend, this is heavy duty stuff
00:35:01.77\00:35:03.59
and we don't need kid
gloves to look at Revelation 13.
00:35:03.62\00:35:07.08
We're talking about the beast
00:35:07.11\00:35:08.48
and United States
as it begins to speak.
00:35:08.51\00:35:10.27
Why are we concern?
00:35:10.30\00:35:11.79
Good question
here. Think it with me.
00:35:11.82\00:35:13.19
Why are we so
concerned about the first beast?
00:35:13.22\00:35:16.52
Somebody say,
well, I'm really not.
00:35:16.55\00:35:17.92
You need to be.
00:35:17.95\00:35:19.35
You need to be,
it's going to affect you,
00:35:19.38\00:35:21.59
it's affecting your family
00:35:21.62\00:35:22.99
and certainly
will the second beast,
00:35:23.02\00:35:24.39
the first and second
beast. Revelation 13.
00:35:24.42\00:35:27.76
First beast, first beast,
00:35:27.79\00:35:29.98
because of what
because I mentioned before
00:35:30.01\00:35:32.22
we were worried about
because the second beast
00:35:32.25\00:35:34.34
is going to speak
like the first one
00:35:34.37\00:35:36.40
or United States
will speak like the papacy
00:35:36.43\00:35:38.93
before it's over a
passing religious laws,
00:35:38.96\00:35:41.78
curbing our religious freedoms.
00:35:41.81\00:35:44.72
Please
remember, please remember,
00:35:44.75\00:35:46.12
every principle of the papacy,
00:35:46.15\00:35:49.45
every principle
that she has held
00:35:49.48\00:35:51.57
in times past exist today.
00:35:51.60\00:35:54.79
Oh, we made that clear,
00:35:54.82\00:35:56.19
I've been over
to couple of times?
00:35:56.22\00:35:57.63
Every principle of the papacy--
she has held in time past,
00:35:57.66\00:36:01.47
she still exist today.
00:36:01.50\00:36:03.40
The same
doctrines, the same teachings
00:36:03.43\00:36:06.15
held during the Dark Ages
are held in higher esteem today
00:36:06.18\00:36:09.37
because they've
not erred they say.
00:36:09.40\00:36:11.86
Wow, do you
realize the Roman church
00:36:11.89\00:36:15.77
the papacy will
never, listen carefully,
00:36:15.80\00:36:18.01
never relinquish her
claim of infallibility.
00:36:18.04\00:36:23.00
She will not do that
00:36:23.03\00:36:24.40
so again why would you
apologize if you're infallible.
00:36:24.43\00:36:26.90
Oh, interesting, listen,
00:36:26.93\00:36:32.20
if she receives, if she
attains the former power
00:36:32.23\00:36:38.66
that she has-- and
let me tell you this,
00:36:38.69\00:36:41.13
Protestants are guilty of giving
that power back to Roman church.
00:36:41.16\00:36:46.12
Are you still with me?
00:36:46.15\00:36:47.52
We're trying to
give it back to her.
00:36:47.55\00:36:50.54
And I guarantee you this
based upon the word of God
00:36:50.57\00:36:53.58
there will be a revival of
persecution in this country.
00:36:53.61\00:36:58.07
The Bible so states it.
00:36:58.10\00:36:59.59
It's going to happen
and we need to be ready.
00:36:59.62\00:37:03.04
I find today that
Protestants are jut ready
00:37:03.07\00:37:05.10
and they are just or
they're just willing.
00:37:05.13\00:37:08.10
They're willing as
almost the whole world is here.
00:37:08.13\00:37:11.26
As the Bible talks about here
00:37:11.29\00:37:13.15
it's ready to
wonder after the beast
00:37:13.18\00:37:15.71
or it wonder after
what? Good, the papacy.
00:37:15.74\00:37:18.71
Ah, how can that be?
00:37:18.74\00:37:21.38
How can it be wondering at
almost in a hypnotic state?
00:37:21.41\00:37:27.59
Isn't it interesting?
00:37:27.62\00:37:29.18
Almost every movie
or very T.V. program
00:37:29.21\00:37:32.42
or you know, the papacy
00:37:32.45\00:37:34.47
whatever it's involved
the Roman Catholic Church.
00:37:34.50\00:37:37.70
You never see all the coverage
that you do about the pope.
00:37:37.73\00:37:41.82
Do you?
00:37:41.85\00:37:43.22
I don't see, I
don't see in this country
00:37:43.25\00:37:44.62
when the Protestant big
leader or some denomination
00:37:44.65\00:37:46.35
and he goes out
and other will come in
00:37:46.38\00:37:47.78
and we spend day and weeks
00:37:47.81\00:37:49.18
and hours and millions
of dollars to worry about.
00:37:49.21\00:37:52.54
There's something to
that, there's something to that.
00:37:52.57\00:37:58.07
As Protestants
we're like hypnotized
00:37:58.10\00:38:00.93
by a power that
we're supposed to be
00:38:00.96\00:38:02.33
protesting
against the same power
00:38:02.36\00:38:06.87
that ruled the
world during the Dark Ages
00:38:06.90\00:38:10.54
and the time of the
reformation, Lord, help us.
00:38:10.57\00:38:13.32
At that time when godly
men, women, children, people
00:38:13.35\00:38:16.16
who did loved Jesus with
all their heart were to be--
00:38:16.19\00:38:19.57
was exposing the sins
you see, of the Roman Church.
00:38:19.60\00:38:23.44
At the cost of their
what? Of their very lives.
00:38:23.47\00:38:26.68
At the cost of their family.
Of cost of their property.
00:38:26.71\00:38:32.54
They tried to
expose a power that,
00:38:32.57\00:38:34.90
dear friends, power that
helped kings in their hand.
00:38:34.93\00:38:40.25
You think that's not powerful.
00:38:40.28\00:38:43.39
the Bible clearly says,
00:38:43.42\00:38:45.49
"All of the world would
wander after the beast."
00:38:45.52\00:38:47.63
We're talking about the papacy.
Listen they follow after him.
00:38:47.66\00:38:51.66
But then it's goes on to say
00:38:51.69\00:38:53.06
but their names are not written
in the Lamb's Book of Life.
00:38:53.09\00:38:55.77
How it can? You say well,
I'm going to join that church.
00:38:55.80\00:38:58.58
I'm not going to-- oh,
I know I'm being burnt,
00:38:58.61\00:39:01.73
I know I'm being
clear, but God help us.
00:39:01.76\00:39:04.98
This message is clear.
00:39:05.01\00:39:07.26
Remember all the papacy
wants you to do is accept
00:39:07.29\00:39:09.63
a teaching that
they've come up with.
00:39:09.66\00:39:12.40
One doctrine you accept
00:39:12.43\00:39:13.80
and they count you as
part of the little harlots
00:39:13.83\00:39:15.94
coming into the mother church.
00:39:15.97\00:39:18.10
Yeah, interesting
thing. Think about it.
00:39:18.13\00:39:21.64
If you're not
concerned about this,
00:39:21.67\00:39:23.04
you're not willing
to take a stand now,
00:39:23.07\00:39:24.53
because it says the people,
00:39:24.56\00:39:26.15
listen, oh, listen the people
that follow after the papacy
00:39:26.18\00:39:30.28
or the beast and something
that is instituted that is made,
00:39:30.31\00:39:33.43
it says, their
names are not written
00:39:33.46\00:39:35.56
in the Lamb's Book of Life.
00:39:35.59\00:39:37.54
They're not going to
be saved in God's kingdom.
00:39:37.57\00:39:39.03
Don't you care
enough about them to talk,
00:39:39.06\00:39:41.15
at least do some talking
00:39:41.18\00:39:42.55
like we're
today. Do some history?
00:39:42.58\00:39:44.06
Reading the Bible and say,
00:39:44.09\00:39:45.46
oh, there needs to be a warning,
00:39:45.49\00:39:46.86
isn't that the Third
Angel's message warning.
00:39:46.89\00:39:48.97
Revelation 14, warning
against the mark of the beast
00:39:49.00\00:39:51.47
and the image of the beast,
we're going to be sketching
00:39:51.50\00:39:52.89
that in our third-part,
this is just the second here.
00:39:52.92\00:39:55.61
It's not going to get any easier
so if you're weak right now,
00:39:55.64\00:39:58.03
pray that God gives you
strength to continue on.
00:39:58.06\00:40:01.95
See the first
beast of Revelation 13
00:40:01.98\00:40:04.33
as we've said time and time
00:40:04.36\00:40:05.73
again I'm gonna
continue to say it,
00:40:05.76\00:40:07.13
is the papacy.
00:40:07.16\00:40:09.38
It came up, put
it up, rooted three.
00:40:09.41\00:40:11.13
Do you remember that,
the three of the ten kingdoms
00:40:11.16\00:40:13.03
represented by the
ten toes in Daniel 2?
00:40:13.06\00:40:15.91
You remember that study.
00:40:15.94\00:40:17.50
We've talked about in 5:38
00:40:17.53\00:40:19.09
it come up the
last 1260 years, 1798.
00:40:19.12\00:40:23.50
And you'll find
the same prophecy
00:40:23.53\00:40:25.38
some of you and
you study would you say
00:40:25.41\00:40:27.58
well this prophecy
over here in Revelation 13,
00:40:27.61\00:40:29.74
is different than
Revelation 12 or Revelation 11.
00:40:29.77\00:40:32.89
They'll say,
well, one says you know,
00:40:32.92\00:40:34.29
three-and-half
years, one says 42 months.
00:40:34.32\00:40:36.15
Friend, just read the 42
months of Revelation 13:5.
00:40:36.18\00:40:40.61
Read it in Revelation
12:6, read in Revelation 11:3
00:40:40.64\00:40:45.19
you'll find this timeframe here.
00:40:45.22\00:40:47.61
This is so
important to establish this,
00:40:47.64\00:40:49.40
so that we know
that we are on target.
00:40:49.43\00:40:51.68
Once again, power
coming up would grow strong.
00:40:51.71\00:40:55.90
What power was
growing strong in 1798?
00:40:55.93\00:41:00.27
What nation, what
country in this whole wide world
00:41:00.30\00:41:03.69
which one was
coming up at that time?
00:41:03.72\00:41:06.82
United States
is the only country
00:41:06.85\00:41:08.96
coming up at that time.
00:41:08.99\00:41:11.00
Exactly the way the
Bible way history said that
00:41:11.03\00:41:13.11
it would come up.
00:41:13.14\00:41:14.99
That's the second
beast of Revelation 13:11,
00:41:15.02\00:41:17.29
United States.
00:41:17.32\00:41:18.69
Oh, you remember, the
Declaration of Independence?
00:41:18.72\00:41:21.09
Do you remember when that was?
00:41:21.12\00:41:22.49
July the 4th in 1776.
00:41:22.52\00:41:26.03
Get the
timeframes together here.
00:41:26.06\00:41:29.37
It says there, you know,
Declaration of Independence,
00:41:29.40\00:41:31.80
it says here a nation
endowed by their creator
00:41:31.83\00:41:36.94
was certain in alienable
rights, and among them are what?
00:41:36.97\00:41:40.67
Good, life and liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
00:41:40.70\00:41:45.90
Came up as a lamb,
00:41:45.93\00:41:47.30
all of these
freedoms, praise God.
00:41:47.33\00:41:49.90
But Revelation
13:12 just simply says,
00:41:49.93\00:41:52.16
"And he exercised all the power
of the first beast before him."
00:41:52.19\00:41:56.73
We've got to establish this.
00:41:56.76\00:41:58.23
Let me just say a few
more things on this please.
00:41:58.26\00:42:00.97
The word exercise we
talk about in the Greek,
00:42:01.00\00:42:03.49
you know, as he exercises.
00:42:03.52\00:42:04.98
Listen, this beast
power exercises he makes,
00:42:05.01\00:42:09.88
somebody stay
with me. He performs.
00:42:09.91\00:42:15.39
He is going to make
observe. So he exercises what?
00:42:15.42\00:42:21.04
All the powers
of the first beast
00:42:21.07\00:42:23.07
so United States of
American is going to make,
00:42:23.10\00:42:25.43
going to make you perform,
its going to make you observe.
00:42:25.46\00:42:29.08
Notice this, all,
exercises all the power,
00:42:29.11\00:42:33.58
that means authority, right,
00:42:33.61\00:42:35.61
and of the first beast
which is the papacy before him
00:42:35.64\00:42:39.00
and he go and causes what?
00:42:39.03\00:42:41.30
Again the word
there in the Greek
00:42:41.33\00:42:42.83
it causes means to make.
00:42:42.86\00:42:45.48
What? Legislative action.
00:42:45.51\00:42:46.92
To make means to require,
00:42:46.95\00:42:50.46
the earth and all which
dwell there into worship.
00:42:50.49\00:42:54.41
It has to do oh,
friend don't you see
00:42:54.44\00:42:56.90
it has to do with worship.
00:42:56.93\00:42:58.65
mark of the beast,
image to the beast,
00:42:58.68\00:43:00.10
the papacy has to do with
who you give your allegiance to.
00:43:00.13\00:43:03.12
Who you're going to
worship, is it going to be God
00:43:03.15\00:43:05.70
or is it going to be
the enemy. Choice is yours.
00:43:05.73\00:43:09.53
You know, what the worship is?
00:43:09.56\00:43:10.93
Let me just kind of-
this may blow your minds
00:43:10.96\00:43:12.94
just a little bit if
you think along with me.
00:43:12.97\00:43:15.55
He is going to cause them,
he is going to write pass laws,
00:43:15.58\00:43:18.43
cause you to worship as
were even if you don't want to,
00:43:18.46\00:43:20.94
you got to do it or something
is going to happen to you.
00:43:20.97\00:43:24.00
The word worship
is very interesting.
00:43:24.03\00:43:26.18
The word worship here has to do
with one who prostrates himself.
00:43:26.21\00:43:29.81
Now prostrates himself
down. Did you get that?
00:43:29.84\00:43:32.95
In homage to someone.
00:43:32.98\00:43:35.83
It means to do
reverence, to adore someone.
00:43:35.86\00:43:40.19
I don't know any other
religion in the world, do you?
00:43:40.22\00:43:43.64
Sometimes the Protestant pastor
00:43:43.67\00:43:45.04
I don't know if you can
get a handshake sometime.
00:43:45.07\00:43:47.55
Look what they do--
when the papacy is present.
00:43:47.58\00:43:50.34
Listen, here--has worship
has a-is a form of worship here,
00:43:50.37\00:43:56.05
a form of worship
and it means like this.
00:43:56.08\00:43:58.80
Some of you will get
it, some of you won't.
00:43:58.83\00:44:00.91
It says this means, to
form of worship is like a kiss,
00:44:00.94\00:44:08.17
like a dog
licking the master's hand.
00:44:08.20\00:44:15.50
Does that ring
any kind of a bell?
00:44:15.53\00:44:20.18
If you go meet with a
pope what are you going to do?
00:44:20.21\00:44:24.85
Yeah, that's right,
you're going to kneel down
00:44:24.88\00:44:26.56
and you're going
to kiss his hand.
00:44:26.59\00:44:29.24
Interesting here
as you look at this,
00:44:29.27\00:44:31.13
God is telling us
what we need to know.
00:44:31.16\00:44:34.48
Now, let me make this clear.
00:44:34.51\00:44:36.44
The
fulfillment-- now this prophecy
00:44:36.47\00:44:38.51
I'm talking about is yet future.
We're right on the edges of it.
00:44:38.54\00:44:41.63
Now you can see the
things that are happening.
00:44:41.66\00:44:44.79
This first beast
exercise power, what?
00:44:44.82\00:44:47.86
Both religious
and political matters.
00:44:47.89\00:44:51.86
So the second
beast, United States
00:44:51.89\00:44:53.82
right will do the same.
00:44:53.85\00:44:56.07
Friend, I can't do anymore
than just beg and implore--
00:44:56.10\00:44:58.81
you'll say look our religious
freedom is in jeopardy.
00:44:58.84\00:45:03.22
Our religious
freedom is in jeopardy.
00:45:03.25\00:45:05.57
Please keep that in mind.
00:45:05.60\00:45:07.54
Any attempt to pass
laws regarding the rights
00:45:07.57\00:45:11.06
or the freedoms to worship.
00:45:11.09\00:45:13.74
Oh, friend, it's a
violation of religious liberty.
00:45:13.77\00:45:17.39
Did you know that?
00:45:17.42\00:45:19.41
For the
government any one to pass
00:45:19.44\00:45:20.81
any kind of rules to make you,
00:45:20.84\00:45:22.21
to dictate to you is a
violation of religious liberty.
00:45:22.24\00:45:25.85
But the Bible says the
prophecy that it will happen.
00:45:25.88\00:45:29.69
Friend I see it now.
00:45:29.72\00:45:31.12
I sense it now, I see
the way things are going.
00:45:31.15\00:45:34.34
The Bible said he exercises
00:45:34.37\00:45:36.26
the power of the
first beast before him.
00:45:36.29\00:45:38.64
What does that mean?
00:45:38.67\00:45:40.04
He says in the presence--
working together in the presence
00:45:40.07\00:45:43.39
what that mean?
00:45:43.42\00:45:45.77
The first beast that was, what?
00:45:45.80\00:45:47.17
Good, wounded,
revived back to life.
00:45:47.20\00:45:50.15
He becomes active in our
civil but religious things
00:45:50.18\00:45:54.09
and then United States
will support that first beast
00:45:54.12\00:45:58.41
or the papacy and
something that they have made up
00:45:58.44\00:46:01.22
and something to
do with religion,
00:46:01.25\00:46:02.62
something to do with worship
that we're going to get close
00:46:02.65\00:46:04.62
and we're going to hit right on.
00:46:04.65\00:46:07.28
Wow, because he causes,
the Bible said, the earth
00:46:07.31\00:46:10.18
and all the
earth that worship him.
00:46:10.21\00:46:11.87
That means no
part of this earth,
00:46:11.90\00:46:13.92
no part of this
earth is going to be, what?
00:46:13.95\00:46:16.43
Left, without so
coming to that point
00:46:16.46\00:46:19.14
that decision, all the earth.
00:46:19.17\00:46:21.97
They cause it all the world,
no one is going to be left out.
00:46:22.00\00:46:27.03
Prophecy points to a religious
observance, it doesn't.
00:46:27.06\00:46:30.31
You see it's something to
do with worship observance.
00:46:30.34\00:46:32.66
An active worship possibly here
00:46:32.69\00:46:34.48
and that what he
is talking about here?
00:46:34.51\00:46:36.87
That the world that acknowledges
00:46:36.90\00:46:39.59
of the first
beast in Daniel 7:25,
00:46:39.62\00:46:41.80
he would think to change what?
00:46:41.83\00:46:43.20
Good times and laws.
00:46:43.23\00:46:45.91
And all we have to do
is just trace history.
00:46:45.94\00:46:48.08
It's so simple. It can be found.
00:46:48.11\00:46:50.94
That they attempt to
change the Ten Commandments,
00:46:50.97\00:46:53.34
the Fourth Commandment,
all the commandments
00:46:53.37\00:46:54.98
put them all out of
order. The divine law was what?
00:46:55.01\00:46:59.06
The Sabbath day to what,
the first day of the week.
00:46:59.09\00:47:02.87
Oh, very interesting here.
00:47:02.90\00:47:05.85
And may I add
this, God has blessed
00:47:05.88\00:47:08.10
and sanctified and set apart
the seventh day of the week.
00:47:08.13\00:47:10.58
The papacy come by and said no.
00:47:10.61\00:47:14.60
I want to say
something here and I tell you,
00:47:14.63\00:47:16.00
I want you to pay attention.
00:47:16.03\00:47:17.40
Do you remember
00:47:17.43\00:47:18.80
and we were talking
about that first, first beast.
00:47:18.83\00:47:22.37
The dragon gave
him his power his seat
00:47:22.40\00:47:26.15
and his great authority.
00:47:26.18\00:47:28.69
Very interesting, isn't it.
00:47:28.72\00:47:31.19
And so the enemy says, no
I'm going to have another day.
00:47:31.22\00:47:33.89
Yet, to realize the first day
of the week as you read is good.
00:47:33.92\00:47:38.17
Nowhere in Bible is
there a biblical change,
00:47:38.20\00:47:41.33
from the seventh to the first.
00:47:41.36\00:47:43.98
There is not all evidence,
00:47:44.01\00:47:45.38
whatsoever it's not
one scripture in the Bible.
00:47:45.41\00:47:48.45
Some of you, I know you twist
00:47:48.48\00:47:49.87
and you turn and you
all you do everything
00:47:49.90\00:47:51.97
possible try to
make it say something.
00:47:52.00\00:47:53.86
God said he blessed sanctified
the seventh day of the week.
00:47:53.89\00:47:56.00
Papacy come by and
say, hey, we can change it
00:47:56.03\00:47:57.96
and the world
will follow after us.
00:47:57.99\00:47:59.40
Have they, had
they not. Yes they have.
00:47:59.43\00:48:03.12
Doesn't it become clear to us
today a change will take place.
00:48:03.15\00:48:06.70
Doesn't it be clear
to us in this prophecy
00:48:06.73\00:48:09.16
that laws are going to be passed
00:48:09.19\00:48:10.62
and requiring to
Sunday as the day of rest?
00:48:10.65\00:48:15.15
I sense a force here.
00:48:15.18\00:48:18.58
That the government
by law would force men
00:48:18.61\00:48:21.62
to recognize
something from the papacy
00:48:21.65\00:48:25.35
that came from the
papacy and then we would be led
00:48:25.38\00:48:29.75
to worship the
beast and his image.
00:48:29.78\00:48:32.88
Wow, please remember this
00:48:32.91\00:48:35.68
and there is
Supreme Court in 1961,
00:48:35.71\00:48:39.59
the chief
justice Warren said this,
00:48:39.62\00:48:41.26
it's just done it quick here
and well, hope we have time,
00:48:41.29\00:48:43.52
we'll get into it and hopeful
00:48:43.55\00:48:44.92
but right now, I
did it in the first part
00:48:44.95\00:48:46.58
but it's interesting.
00:48:46.61\00:48:47.98
It talks about Sunday
laws and Sunday closings
00:48:48.01\00:48:50.18
and the national day of rest.
It said here, about Sunday law.
00:48:50.21\00:48:54.32
It says, it's present purpose
and effect is not to a religion
00:48:54.35\00:49:00.71
but it set aside as a
day of rest and recreation.
00:49:00.74\00:49:06.40
So already Supreme Court
00:49:06.43\00:49:07.80
has worked its way
around the division,
00:49:07.83\00:49:10.07
you know, separation of church
00:49:10.10\00:49:11.47
and sate say it's
not really religious.
00:49:11.50\00:49:13.18
It has to do we
need a day of rest.
00:49:13.21\00:49:15.04
Why is it Sunday
00:49:15.07\00:49:16.44
because the majority of
the world honor that day.
00:49:16.47\00:49:18.46
What is going to
happen the other people
00:49:18.49\00:49:19.86
who prefer another day?
00:49:19.89\00:49:22.14
Friend, we need to be thinking
about what's going on here.
00:49:22.17\00:49:24.75
With that in mind and I could
read 6 Testimonies page 18,
00:49:24.78\00:49:28.65
this is very interesting.
00:49:28.68\00:49:30.05
It says "God's sanctified
memorial has been torn down.
00:49:30.08\00:49:35.30
In its place a false
sabbath, bearing no sanctity,
00:49:35.33\00:49:39.02
stands before the world.
00:49:39.05\00:49:41.43
As America, the land
of religious liberty,
00:49:41.46\00:49:45.00
shall unite with the
papacy" and formed what?
00:49:45.03\00:49:47.98
"Forcing the conscience
00:49:48.01\00:49:49.76
and compelling man to
honor the false sabbath,
00:49:49.79\00:49:53.47
the people of every
country on the globe
00:49:53.50\00:49:56.43
will be led to
follow her example."
00:49:56.46\00:50:00.17
Wherein the Bible it's
clear a test is coming.
00:50:00.20\00:50:03.74
Some of you would say
well we won't be here.
00:50:03.77\00:50:05.14
Yes you will.
00:50:05.17\00:50:06.54
You don't pass
away, you'll be here.
00:50:06.57\00:50:08.12
This is something
that's going to come,
00:50:08.15\00:50:09.52
it's going to test every man.
00:50:09.55\00:50:10.92
6 Testimonies 352
said, "The Sabbath question
00:50:10.95\00:50:14.29
is to be the issue in
the great final conflict
00:50:14.32\00:50:17.67
in which all the
world will be act a part.
00:50:17.70\00:50:21.65
Men have honored
Satan's principles
00:50:21.68\00:50:24.04
above the principles."
00:50:24.07\00:50:26.19
Did you get that?
"That rule in the heavens.
00:50:26.22\00:50:28.99
They have accepted a
spurious a false sabbath,
00:50:29.02\00:50:32.36
which Satan has
exalted." Did you get it?
00:50:32.39\00:50:35.43
"As a sign of his authority."
Stay with me, notice.
00:50:35.46\00:50:38.56
"It is our work to lead
the people to understand this.
00:50:38.59\00:50:43.44
We're to show them that
it is of vital consequences
00:50:43.47\00:50:46.93
whether they bear
the mark of God's kingdom
00:50:46.96\00:50:50.55
or the mark of the kingdom
of rebellion or the enemy."
00:50:50.58\00:50:54.37
It's a job.
00:50:54.40\00:50:55.77
Is it pleasant to
present some of these?
00:50:55.80\00:50:57.27
No, it's our job to
do it, to warn the world.
00:50:57.30\00:51:03.29
I would say the U.S
causes the earth to worship.
00:51:03.32\00:51:07.24
United States
causes by law passing to.
00:51:07.27\00:51:10.52
You'd say oh, that's
listen and even as far as 1888,
00:51:10.55\00:51:14.25
there's this
Lord's Day Alliance,
00:51:14.28\00:51:15.65
still in operation
today. You know what?
00:51:15.68\00:51:17.05
They say, right in the
front page you opened up,
00:51:17.08\00:51:18.69
you read I used to receive
them amid time and time again.
00:51:18.72\00:51:21.11
It said our-- our
focus isn't why we exist,
00:51:21.14\00:51:24.70
it's so that we
can pass a Sunday law.
00:51:24.73\00:51:27.86
There needs to be a day of rest.
00:51:27.89\00:51:29.41
They've been
laboring, laboring, laboring
00:51:29.44\00:51:30.81
since our righteous by
faith message went forward,
00:51:30.84\00:51:33.34
told that in.
00:51:33.37\00:51:35.58
How
interesting, various churches
00:51:35.61\00:51:38.82
start putting pressure
on the civil government
00:51:38.85\00:51:43.01
to pass a law in this country
and eventually around the world.
00:51:43.04\00:51:47.18
Remember, they
want to pass a law
00:51:47.21\00:51:49.20
that has no
scriptural Sunday worship.
00:51:49.23\00:51:51.28
No scriptural authority at all.
00:51:51.31\00:51:54.82
But they're going to be
following after the papacy
00:51:54.85\00:51:56.57
who instituted this.
00:51:56.60\00:51:57.97
Oh, friend, we need to keep
all this stuff focused as we go
00:51:58.00\00:52:01.02
because we're running
down and we're gonna--
00:52:01.05\00:52:02.63
because you know, what it says.
00:52:02.66\00:52:04.03
Remember I quoted this,
00:52:04.06\00:52:05.43
it talked about the
dragon gave him his power,
00:52:05.46\00:52:07.08
his seat and
his great authority.
00:52:07.11\00:52:09.12
Isaiah 14:14, the enemy says,
00:52:09.15\00:52:11.03
"I'll be, I'll be
like the most high."
00:52:11.06\00:52:14.14
Wow, interesting.
00:52:14.17\00:52:16.65
Let's just read quick statement
here from the papacy and others
00:52:16.68\00:52:20.27
about the change of
the seventh to the first
00:52:20.30\00:52:21.94
as we've talked about
in last couple of minutes.
00:52:21.97\00:52:23.63
Albert Smith, Chancellor of
the Archdiocese of Baltimore
00:52:23.66\00:52:27.06
in 1920 he wrote this.
00:52:27.09\00:52:28.46
"If Protestants
would follow the Bible
00:52:28.49\00:52:30.39
they would worship God on
the seventh day, the Sabbath.
00:52:30.42\00:52:32.91
In keeping Sunday
00:52:32.94\00:52:34.31
they're following a law
of the Catholic Church."
00:52:34.34\00:52:36.83
Some of you have
never heard that before
00:52:36.86\00:52:38.45
but you realize you're
following after the papacy.
00:52:38.48\00:52:40.47
There's not a
change in the Bible.
00:52:40.50\00:52:42.16
There's not a word in here
that says we're to keep Sunday.
00:52:42.19\00:52:44.97
Not after the
resurrection-- no any time.
00:52:45.00\00:52:47.54
God has blessed and sanctified
the seventh day of the week.
00:52:47.57\00:52:50.61
In a book called, Plain Talk
00:52:50.64\00:52:52.01
about the
Protestantism of Today page 213.
00:52:52.04\00:52:54.86
Notice what this says.
00:52:54.89\00:52:56.26
"The observance of
Sunday by the Protestants."
00:52:56.29\00:52:58.61
Are you Protestant?
00:52:58.64\00:53:00.97
"Is an homage they
pay, in spite of themselves
00:53:01.00\00:53:03.78
to the authority of
the Catholic church."
00:53:03.81\00:53:06.24
You don't even realize may
be you've never heard it before.
00:53:06.27\00:53:08.68
What because they made
that day holy they say.
00:53:08.71\00:53:11.71
One more from the Doctrinal
Catechism 1957, edition
00:53:11.74\00:53:14.90
here's what they
say about themselves.
00:53:14.93\00:53:16.38
Where it says, "We observe
Sunday instead of Saturday
00:53:16.41\00:53:18.68
because the Catholic
Church transferred the solemnity
00:53:18.71\00:53:21.77
from Saturday to Sunday."
00:53:21.80\00:53:23.50
Here's the big
issue, do you see it.
00:53:23.53\00:53:26.21
Do you see the big
issue what is coming down to.
00:53:26.24\00:53:28.99
I will say this,
I will say this that
00:53:29.02\00:53:30.77
Protestants are fool
in so many different ways,
00:53:30.80\00:53:32.99
but let me tell you at
least the Roman Catholic Church
00:53:33.02\00:53:35.88
is honest enough
to say we changed it.
00:53:35.91\00:53:39.23
We did it and
the Protestant world
00:53:39.26\00:53:41.17
is following in our footsteps.
00:53:41.20\00:53:42.57
I applaud them for at
least being honest about,
00:53:42.60\00:53:44.89
how about you.
00:53:44.92\00:53:47.20
We hear we don't
protest we don't do anything.
00:53:47.23\00:53:49.42
Whatever Rome says, we do it.
00:53:49.45\00:53:50.82
God help us to see. I want
to pray with you right now.
00:53:50.85\00:53:53.14
Remember part
three is coming up,
00:53:53.17\00:53:54.54
you don't want
to miss that at all.
00:53:54.57\00:53:55.98
But we need to
pray, God will help us
00:53:56.01\00:53:57.60
in our endeavors to understand
00:53:57.63\00:54:00.02
material that we
have to cover so quickly.
00:54:00.05\00:54:02.51
May the Holy Spirit help us
together, let's pray. Shall we?
00:54:02.54\00:54:05.12
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:54:05.15\00:54:06.52
we thank you for
your precious word.
00:54:06.55\00:54:07.92
Oh, it's
difficult as it might be.
00:54:07.95\00:54:09.32
We pray, your people,
00:54:09.35\00:54:10.72
who are wanting to
know what truth is.
00:54:10.75\00:54:12.12
Your Holy Spirit
will inspire them
00:54:12.15\00:54:13.52
and encourage them
to accept this message.
00:54:13.55\00:54:15.69
We pray, help them to act on it.
00:54:15.72\00:54:17.74
It's not just to know
00:54:17.77\00:54:19.14
but they must
act on this message.
00:54:19.17\00:54:20.92
Help them to study to show
00:54:20.95\00:54:22.32
they're self
approved in Jesus name
00:54:22.35\00:54:23.72
we pray and for his sake. Amen.
00:54:23.75\00:54:27.09
My friend, you see the message
00:54:27.12\00:54:28.70
that we're talking about
how important that it really is
00:54:28.73\00:54:31.46
and how this country
is all set up just ready,
00:54:31.49\00:54:35.12
just ready, a few more natural,
00:54:35.15\00:54:37.23
you know, disasters
00:54:37.26\00:54:38.63
a few more big things
is hitting this country.
00:54:38.66\00:54:40.38
You watch your freedom
00:54:40.41\00:54:41.78
because they're
already gone away.
00:54:41.81\00:54:43.18
You don't have them anymore.
00:54:43.21\00:54:44.58
But watch it begin to
interfere with what? Religious.
00:54:44.61\00:54:46.32
Protestants are
going to jump up.
00:54:46.35\00:54:47.72
Protestants are going to what,
00:54:47.75\00:54:49.12
give the power
back to the papacy.
00:54:49.15\00:54:50.52
You know, may God
help us to open our eyes
00:54:50.55\00:54:52.63
that we may see you know,
we appreciate, we love you,
00:54:52.66\00:54:55.11
thank you for your
love and your support
00:54:55.14\00:54:56.51
and we'll see you next time.
00:54:56.54\00:55:00.62
Hello and welcome back.
00:55:00.65\00:55:02.61
Our world has changed
00:55:02.64\00:55:04.04
so very much
from its beginnings.
00:55:04.07\00:55:06.74
We have often boasted of
our freedoms in this nation.
00:55:06.77\00:55:10.77
Perhaps, freedoms that
we have taken for granted
00:55:10.80\00:55:13.88
because we've
lacked the understanding
00:55:13.91\00:55:15.61
that for centuries people
have lived without such freedoms
00:55:15.64\00:55:19.01
that many of us have
grown up with all of our lives.
00:55:19.04\00:55:22.56
Yet ever so slowly our freedoms
are being withdrawn from us.
00:55:22.59\00:55:28.66
There seems to
be no other choice
00:55:28.69\00:55:30.51
when we
experience the many senseless
00:55:30.54\00:55:33.28
acts of violence that
are occurring more and more
00:55:33.31\00:55:36.85
frequently in this country.
00:55:36.88\00:55:38.89
Terrorism, terrorism has
washed up upon our shores.
00:55:38.92\00:55:43.74
At the time of this recording
00:55:43.77\00:55:45.53
our nation is
really with the heartache
00:55:45.56\00:55:48.91
over the Boston
Marathon bombings.
00:55:48.94\00:55:51.46
Innocent lives were shattered.
00:55:51.49\00:55:54.52
Many will forever live
with the ruthless results
00:55:54.55\00:55:57.70
of these short moments
for the rest of their lives.
00:55:57.73\00:56:01.47
And of course, this is
just one of so many incidences
00:56:01.50\00:56:07.29
that are playing
a tremendous role
00:56:07.32\00:56:09.26
in bringing about a spirit.
00:56:09.29\00:56:11.03
Now listen, a
spirit of intolerance
00:56:11.06\00:56:14.21
and finally persecution
just as we're told in scripture.
00:56:14.24\00:56:19.37
Our only hope brothers
and sisters is in Christ.
00:56:19.40\00:56:23.75
We must anchor
into that solid rock
00:56:23.78\00:56:27.02
if we're to weather
this approaching storm.
00:56:27.05\00:56:29.64
There will be no
room for undecidedness.
00:56:29.67\00:56:32.49
To be undecided
is to be a lukewarm
00:56:32.52\00:56:35.43
and to be
lukewarm is to be lost.
00:56:35.46\00:56:38.75
Decisions for Christ
in a truth of His word
00:56:38.78\00:56:41.55
are needed to be made
and it is our prayer for you

the Lamb Ministries.

by His grace
and by His strength.
