Hello and welcome to
"Behold the Lamb Presents."
00:00:42.04\00:00:44.21
I'm Chris Shelton, your host
00:00:44.24\00:00:45.70
and we want to welcome
you to our program today.
00:00:45.73\00:00:48.58
Today's message
is the last message
00:00:48.61\00:00:50.82
in a five part
series that we have entitled
00:00:50.85\00:00:53.29
"The Sabbath, A Test of Faith."
00:00:53.32\00:00:57.09
This last message is
dealing with the topic
00:00:57.12\00:00:59.82
that has captured the attention
00:00:59.85\00:01:01.48
of millions of
people for many years.
00:01:01.51\00:01:04.92
We've entitled this message
00:01:04.95\00:01:06.78
"Avoiding the
Mark of the beast."
00:01:06.81\00:01:09.92
The mark of the beast
deals with the subject
00:01:09.95\00:01:11.91
that strikes fear
in the hearts of many.
00:01:11.94\00:01:14.91
We find this beast described in
00:01:14.94\00:01:17.08
the Book of
Revelation Chapter 13.
00:01:17.11\00:01:20.07
Here we read that
the dragon or the devil
00:01:20.10\00:01:22.57
gives this beast its power.
00:01:22.60\00:01:24.98
We also find that all the
world wonders after this beast
00:01:25.01\00:01:29.51
and that a time has coming
00:01:29.54\00:01:31.67
when no man may buy or sell
00:01:31.70\00:01:34.50
unless they have
the mark of the beast
00:01:34.53\00:01:37.15
in the right hand
or in their forehead.
00:01:37.18\00:01:40.03
And though this
beast is extremely popular
00:01:40.06\00:01:43.01
and well received by the world
00:01:43.04\00:01:45.19
the Bible is very clear
00:01:45.22\00:01:47.08
in Revelation 13 where it reads,
00:01:47.11\00:01:50.05
"And all that
dwell upon the earth
00:01:50.08\00:01:52.03
shall worship Him,
00:01:52.06\00:01:53.87
his names are not written
00:01:53.90\00:01:56.19
in the book of
life of the Lamb slain
00:01:56.22\00:01:58.56
from the
foundation of the world."
00:01:58.59\00:02:00.80
With this understanding
00:02:00.83\00:02:02.68
that heaven will not be the home
00:02:02.71\00:02:05.02
of those who
follow after this beast
00:02:05.05\00:02:07.88
and receive his mark.
00:02:07.91\00:02:10.03
Thousands of surface readers
00:02:10.06\00:02:12.11
speculate as to
what they believe
00:02:12.14\00:02:15.44
this mark of the beast is
00:02:15.47\00:02:17.34
without rightly
diving God's word
00:02:17.37\00:02:19.49
and comparing His prophecies
with documented history.
00:02:19.52\00:02:23.68
Therefore many
false theories have abound
00:02:23.71\00:02:26.36
and left millions
of souls in jeopardy
00:02:26.39\00:02:29.01
of receiving the
very mark they so fear.
00:02:29.04\00:02:32.83
I do believe that if
you will stay tuned today
00:02:32.86\00:02:36.04
and prayerfully consider
what Pastor Kenny Shelton
00:02:36.07\00:02:39.80
is about to teach
through this message,
00:02:39.83\00:02:42.39
you will have a correct
understanding of this beast,
00:02:42.42\00:02:46.40
his mark and how we as
God's people will avoid it.
00:02:46.43\00:02:51.30
But first we are blessed
00:02:51.33\00:02:52.36
to visit the 3ABN worship center
00:02:52.39\00:02:54.83
and listen to a song in
titled "I Am Thine, O Lord"
00:02:54.86\00:02:58.87
as played by
Sister Jill Morikone.
00:02:58.90\00:03:01.59
Thanks for
joining us once again,
00:06:02.06\00:06:03.19
Behold the Lamb.
00:06:03.22\00:06:04.31
As you heard already we
have it really exciting program.
00:06:04.34\00:06:07.49
This is a must for God's people.
00:06:07.52\00:06:10.04
If you're one of
God's people today,
00:06:10.07\00:06:12.00
regardless of where
you maybe in your walk
00:06:12.03\00:06:14.00
with Jesus this is a must.
00:06:14.03\00:06:16.22
We're gonna be talking about
avoiding the mark of the beast.
00:06:16.25\00:06:19.31
Naturally we have to define
00:06:19.34\00:06:20.57
what the mark of
the beast really is
00:06:20.60\00:06:22.97
and we're going
to do in this study.
00:06:23.00\00:06:24.76
So we need your prayers.
00:06:24.79\00:06:26.00
I'm gonna pray right now
and I want you to join with me.
00:06:26.03\00:06:28.94
We need the power
of the Holy Spirit.
00:06:28.97\00:06:30.90
We just have a
short amount of time
00:06:30.93\00:06:32.06
to present this message
00:06:32.09\00:06:33.14
we pray at the Holy
Spirit will help us.
00:06:33.17\00:06:34.62
Let's pray together, shall we?
00:06:34.65\00:06:37.33
Loving Father in heaven,
00:06:37.36\00:06:38.44
we thank You for
the privilege of prayer
00:06:38.47\00:06:40.09
now we ask at your Holy
Spirit now would take possession
00:06:40.12\00:06:42.60
of each of hearts and our lives.
00:06:42.63\00:06:44.62
Lord we need to
hear form heaven,
00:06:44.65\00:06:45.89
I pray at you'd
guide every word,
00:06:45.92\00:06:47.81
direct my heart, my life
00:06:47.84\00:06:49.16
as You forgive me if any sin,
00:06:49.19\00:06:51.59
anything my heart and
life that needs not be there,
00:06:51.62\00:06:53.58
I need to hear Your voice today.
00:06:53.61\00:06:55.60
Open the ears and the
hearts of your people today.
00:06:55.63\00:06:59.17
Lord, we're gonna
thank You in advance
00:06:59.20\00:07:00.84
for what You're going
to do in Jesus name, amen.
00:07:00.87\00:07:04.22
Well, praise the Lord,
I'm glad that you have--
00:07:04.25\00:07:06.43
you're getting
the habit of this,
00:07:06.46\00:07:07.53
getting your pencil and paper
00:07:07.56\00:07:08.60
and Bible and
get everything out.
00:07:08.63\00:07:10.28
Because we'll move rather
quickly through the study.
00:07:10.31\00:07:13.24
If you have your Bible I
want you to turn it quickly
00:07:13.27\00:07:14.83
to Revelation Chapter
13 we are going to read--
00:07:14.86\00:07:17.85
I'd love to read all,
I think what 18 verses.
00:07:17.88\00:07:20.97
Not be able to do
that because of the time,
00:07:21.00\00:07:22.71
but you need to do that
00:07:22.74\00:07:24.14
because we're gonna
be talking once again
00:07:24.17\00:07:25.57
avoiding the mark of the beast
or about the mark of the beast.
00:07:25.60\00:07:28.42
Let's read that,
00:07:28.45\00:07:29.49
shall we just as we read
this then we're gonna read
00:07:29.52\00:07:32.66
another passage that
will go along with it.
00:07:32.69\00:07:34.73
Revelation 13:1 said,
00:07:34.76\00:07:38.87
"I stood upon
the sand of the sea,
00:07:38.90\00:07:40.75
I saw a beast
rise out of the sea,
00:07:40.78\00:07:43.62
having seven heads and
ten horns, upon his horns,"
00:07:43.65\00:07:47.21
notice this were what?
00:07:47.24\00:07:48.86
Bible says, "Ten
crowns, and upon his heads
00:07:48.89\00:07:51.79
the name of blasphemy."
00:07:51.82\00:07:53.25
Verse 2 "And the beast which
I saw was like unto a leopard,
00:07:53.28\00:07:58.44
and his feet as
were the feet of a bear,
00:07:58.47\00:08:02.28
and the dragon
gave him his power seat
00:08:02.31\00:08:04.08
and his great authority.
00:08:04.11\00:08:05.83
And I saw one of his heads
as it were wounded to death,
00:08:05.86\00:08:09.36
his deadly wound was healed,
00:08:09.39\00:08:11.25
all the world
wondered after the beast.
00:08:11.28\00:08:14.65
And they worshipped the dragon
00:08:14.68\00:08:16.35
which gave
power unto the beast."
00:08:16.38\00:08:18.41
Notice with me here
what's the Bible says,
00:08:18.44\00:08:20.11
this is verse 4
00:08:20.14\00:08:21.48
"And they worshipped the beast,
00:08:21.51\00:08:23.61
saying, Who is
like unto the beast?
00:08:23.64\00:08:25.81
Who is able to
make war with him?
00:08:25.84\00:08:28.71
And there was given unto him
00:08:28.74\00:08:29.82
a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemy,
00:08:29.85\00:08:33.18
and power was given unto him
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.16
to continue
forty and two months."
00:08:35.19\00:08:38.16
Notice verse 6
00:08:38.19\00:08:39.41
"And he opened his mouth
to blasphemy against God,
00:08:39.44\00:08:43.10
to blaspheme his
name, his tabernacle,
00:08:43.13\00:08:46.77
and them that dwell in heaven.
00:08:46.80\00:08:48.74
And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints,
00:08:48.77\00:08:51.55
and to overcome them
00:08:51.58\00:08:53.05
and power was given
him over all kindreds,
00:08:53.08\00:08:55.81
and tongues, and nations."
00:08:55.84\00:08:58.20
Notice what the said here,
00:08:58.23\00:08:59.45
this is heavy
duty verse 8 and says,
00:08:59.48\00:09:01.14
"All that dwell upon
the earth shall worship him,
00:09:01.17\00:09:04.72
whose names are not written
00:09:04.75\00:09:06.38
in the book of
life of the Lamb slain
00:09:06.41\00:09:09.04
from the
foundation of the world."
00:09:09.07\00:09:11.19
We might just leave at
that finish those two verses
00:09:11.22\00:09:13.30
when you have the opportunity.
00:09:13.33\00:09:15.78
In these passage of
scripture is awesome.
00:09:15.81\00:09:19.12
I'm talking about awesome study
00:09:19.15\00:09:20.64
that every person on
the face of this earth
00:09:20.67\00:09:23.03
needs to understand.
00:09:23.06\00:09:24.66
So I'm gonna be
praying that you walk to know
00:09:24.69\00:09:26.90
what truth is today.
00:09:26.93\00:09:29.02
If you're turning
with me once again quickly
00:09:29.05\00:09:30.91
Revelation Chapter 14,
00:09:30.94\00:09:33.71
notice when you're talking
about the mark of the beast
00:09:33.74\00:09:35.96
and the warning that
God gives from His word.
00:09:35.99\00:09:39.44
Revelation 14:9,
10. Are you ready?
00:09:39.47\00:09:44.42
Revelation 14:9, 10
00:09:44.45\00:09:46.09
"And the third
angel followed them,
00:09:46.12\00:09:48.29
saying with a loud voice,
00:09:48.32\00:09:49.90
if any man worship
the beast and his image,
00:09:49.93\00:09:53.30
and receive his
mark in his forehead,
00:09:53.33\00:09:55.28
or in his hand,
00:09:55.31\00:09:56.73
the same shall drink off
the wine of the wrath of God,
00:09:56.76\00:09:59.63
which is poured
out without mixture
00:09:59.66\00:10:01.34
into the cup of his indignation,
00:10:01.37\00:10:03.16
and he shall be
tormented with fire
00:10:03.19\00:10:04.91
and brimstone
in the presence of"
00:10:04.94\00:10:07.54
notice this "of the Lamb."
00:10:07.57\00:10:09.93
Please keep that in mind.
00:10:09.96\00:10:11.56
Here we see the wrath of
God's going to be poured out
00:10:11.59\00:10:13.89
upon those who
receive the mark of the beast.
00:10:13.92\00:10:16.36
If you don't know
what it is, be praying,
00:10:16.39\00:10:18.46
we need to
understand this subject matter.
00:10:18.49\00:10:20.99
Remember when we're
studying this don't worry about
00:10:21.02\00:10:23.19
what you all will
it deals with this--
00:10:23.22\00:10:25.06
it deals with worship,
00:10:25.09\00:10:26.96
it deals with who
you give your legions to.
00:10:26.99\00:10:29.73
Did you notice that Bible said,
00:10:29.76\00:10:30.95
they worship the beast,
so it has to do with worship,
00:10:30.98\00:10:33.86
it has to do with
something that's religious,
00:10:33.89\00:10:35.50
please keep this in mind.
00:10:35.53\00:10:37.35
Question, what is
the mark of the beast?
00:10:37.38\00:10:41.90
You see, does any one have
00:10:41.93\00:10:43.29
the mark of the beast right now?
00:10:43.32\00:10:45.37
What is the image to the beast?
00:10:45.40\00:10:47.69
Who's going to accept this mark?
00:10:47.72\00:10:50.57
How do we avoid this mark?
00:10:50.60\00:10:53.22
You see, how do
we really avoid it?
00:10:53.25\00:10:54.67
Some people didn't realize
how important this subject is.
00:10:54.70\00:10:57.99
You see, God went
through-- you know,
00:10:58.02\00:10:59.90
I went to great
links in scripture
00:10:59.93\00:11:01.80
to make it very clear
00:11:01.83\00:11:03.13
so that we could
understand this issue.
00:11:03.16\00:11:05.20
We can make no mistake
because our eternal life,
00:11:05.23\00:11:08.39
our eternal destiny rise
upon making the right choice.
00:11:08.42\00:11:13.03
Remember the Lord
holds no man accountable
00:11:13.06\00:11:15.67
for life that he doest have.
00:11:15.70\00:11:17.75
That's clear in scripture,
00:11:17.78\00:11:19.36
the Bible said in times
of ignorance God wings at,
00:11:19.39\00:11:22.68
you remember
reading that in Acts 17:30?
00:11:22.71\00:11:26.52
Today there is no excuse for
us not to know what is truth.
00:11:26.55\00:11:31.59
You see many don't know Christ,
may don't know bible prophecy,
00:11:31.62\00:11:35.37
because they refuse
to listen, number one
00:11:35.40\00:11:37.85
they refuse to study
00:11:37.88\00:11:40.16
and they refuse
notice this to accept
00:11:40.19\00:11:44.32
"Thus saith the Lord."
00:11:44.35\00:11:45.95
They are refusing,
they don't want it.
00:11:45.98\00:11:48.17
You see,
Revelation 14 is a warning,
00:11:48.20\00:11:50.15
God sends this
warning out in love.
00:11:50.18\00:11:53.10
He concerning the
mark of the beast.
00:11:53.13\00:11:55.75
Its' very simple,
mark of the beast,
00:11:55.78\00:11:58.20
so we understand the beast,
00:11:58.23\00:11:59.56
we understand the mark
or what this beast stand for
00:11:59.59\00:12:01.94
or what it's
trying to do or you know,
00:12:01.97\00:12:04.52
to accomplish
in religious world.
00:12:04.55\00:12:06.47
Now notice, inserting
the mark of the beast,
00:12:06.50\00:12:09.73
what is it?
00:12:09.76\00:12:11.41
Is it a real message
00:12:11.44\00:12:12.48
that we really
need for this hour?
00:12:12.51\00:12:14.86
I want you to listen carefully
because if you miss this,
00:12:14.89\00:12:16.56
you may miss the whole premise
00:12:16.59\00:12:18.82
of what we're
talking about here.
00:12:18.85\00:12:21.30
There can be no
worship of the beast,
00:12:21.33\00:12:24.31
no receiving the
Mark of the beast
00:12:24.34\00:12:26.80
until it is
enforced by this lamb
00:12:26.83\00:12:29.80
like two horned beast
00:12:29.83\00:12:32.32
and then knowingly
accept it by a person.
00:12:32.35\00:12:35.55
Okay, well, so you
know, people say, oh,
00:12:35.58\00:12:37.49
mark of the
beats, mark of the beats,
00:12:37.52\00:12:38.67
the people have
the mark of the beats.
00:12:38.70\00:12:40.38
Pease keep that
in mind it's gonna be
00:12:40.41\00:12:42.21
enforced by the lamb
like beast that we realize
00:12:42.24\00:12:44.50
that United
States in Bible prophecy.
00:12:44.53\00:12:46.66
In other words a
person think about this,
00:12:46.69\00:12:48.44
when a person
must accept the power
00:12:48.47\00:12:51.19
and all the changes it makes
00:12:51.22\00:12:53.92
in opposition to
the requirements of God.
00:12:53.95\00:12:57.48
Now, wouldn't it
be nice just go back
00:12:57.51\00:12:59.17
and let's do some
review in time that we have.
00:12:59.20\00:13:02.00
Revelation 13:1 simply says,
00:13:02.03\00:13:03.82
"And I stood" John in vision
00:13:03.85\00:13:05.38
"I stood upon
the sand of the sea,
00:13:05.41\00:13:07.91
and I saw a beast
rising out of the sea."
00:13:07.94\00:13:10.99
Quickly what is sea?
00:13:11.02\00:13:12.08
Oh, you know this, you
are the sea is the symbol
00:13:12.11\00:13:14.75
in Revelation
17:15 the Bile said,
00:13:14.78\00:13:17.71
"It represents peoples,
and multitudes, and nations."
00:13:17.74\00:13:21.64
A beast in Bible prophecy
00:13:21.67\00:13:23.90
is symbol of a
nation or a great power.
00:13:23.93\00:13:26.86
Read that in Daniel 7:17, 23.
00:13:26.89\00:13:31.03
Sometimes it
represents a civil power
00:13:31.06\00:13:34.14
and sometimes it represents
an ecclesiastical power.
00:13:34.17\00:13:37.97
Now notice, what we saying,
church and state can be both.
00:13:38.00\00:13:42.62
So keep this in
mind as we study.
00:13:42.65\00:13:44.20
Now when the beast
comes out of the sea,
00:13:44.23\00:13:45.90
what is it saying?
00:13:45.93\00:13:46.98
This means, that it comes
out of a heavy populated area
00:13:47.01\00:13:50.26
so we need to
know where this beast
00:13:50.29\00:13:51.43
come form number
one, before we identify it
00:13:51.46\00:13:53.68
and what area maybe in the world
00:13:53.71\00:13:55.87
a heavy populated area.
00:13:55.90\00:13:58.36
Now Bible says,
the winds are blowing.
00:13:58.39\00:14:00.25
What does that mean?
00:14:00.28\00:14:01.33
If the winds are
blowing upon the sea
00:14:01.36\00:14:03.80
Daniel 7:2, 3 says,
00:14:03.83\00:14:07.22
it means, that there are some
political movement going on,
00:14:07.25\00:14:10.85
there is some civil strive
00:14:10.88\00:14:12.39
that's going on and
changes our indicating.
00:14:12.42\00:14:16.79
Now keep this in mind as we go,
00:14:16.82\00:14:18.36
wind is blowing,
strive things happening.
00:14:18.39\00:14:20.57
So if one studies Daniel 2:7, 8.
00:14:20.60\00:14:25.04
Now remember I'm
referring a lot to Daniel
00:14:25.07\00:14:27.01
because you must study
00:14:27.04\00:14:28.12
the Book of Daniel
and Revelation together.
00:14:28.15\00:14:30.60
It's very important
one helps the other.
00:14:30.63\00:14:32.33
So we're going to be,
00:14:32.36\00:14:33.41
we're going to be
looking in this study here
00:14:33.44\00:14:35.70
and first of all if we do,
00:14:35.73\00:14:36.79
we go back to
Revelation Chapter 12,
00:14:36.82\00:14:39.10
so we're looking
at Revelation 12,
00:14:39.13\00:14:40.32
Revelation 13, Revelation 14,
00:14:40.35\00:14:42.13
just as quickly
as we possibly can.
00:14:42.16\00:14:43.80
This is going--
00:14:43.83\00:14:44.87
you gonna have to really
do some studying on this.
00:14:44.90\00:14:46.83
Now notice,
Revelation Chapter 12
00:14:46.86\00:14:49.12
what do we see?
00:14:49.15\00:14:50.49
We-- the dragon is
introduced in this chapter.
00:14:50.52\00:14:54.80
The dragon of
Revelation Chapter 12
00:14:54.83\00:14:57.14
and then of course the
first beast is introduced here.
00:14:57.17\00:15:00.65
So what do we have?
00:15:00.68\00:15:01.77
All we have as a whole
what is, what is it really mean?
00:15:01.80\00:15:04.62
We are talking about as a whole,
00:15:04.65\00:15:05.89
we're talking
about the power of Rome
00:15:05.92\00:15:08.55
in two phases.
00:15:08.58\00:15:10.03
We are talking about paganism
00:15:10.06\00:15:11.78
and we're talking
about people power.
00:15:11.81\00:15:14.24
This is heavy duty,
you gonna have to do
00:15:14.27\00:15:15.46
some studying
history will verify,
00:15:15.49\00:15:17.09
the Bible will back it up,
we need really be studying.
00:15:17.12\00:15:19.56
So we have two symbols
here, each have seven heads,
00:15:19.59\00:15:24.82
the Bible says, and ten
horns, notice, seven heads.
00:15:24.85\00:15:28.80
Revelation 17:10 talks
about the seven mountains,
00:15:28.83\00:15:31.92
do you remember that?
00:15:31.95\00:15:33.01
The seven kings.
00:15:33.04\00:15:34.90
So ten horns and represent what?
00:15:34.93\00:15:36.99
Ten kings or ten
kingdoms, Daniel 7:24.
00:15:37.02\00:15:41.34
Now, I know you have
to jot these things down
00:15:41.37\00:15:43.03
and then you try to
put them all back together
00:15:43.06\00:15:44.54
when you have a lot more time.
00:15:44.57\00:15:46.31
John saw in Revelation 13:1,
00:15:46.34\00:15:49.15
he saw this leopard
like beast, what did it have?
00:15:49.18\00:15:52.53
Seven heads and ten horns.
00:15:52.56\00:15:54.58
Symbolizing what?
00:15:54.61\00:15:55.64
There would be a power
which exercises ecclesiastical
00:15:55.67\00:15:59.91
or we call it
religious and civil authority.
00:15:59.94\00:16:03.42
So it's a combining
of church and state,
00:16:03.45\00:16:05.18
so we are--
00:16:05.21\00:16:06.31
so we see this happening
we are not sit ideally by,
00:16:06.34\00:16:09.06
we have a message to
give and a warning to give
00:16:09.09\00:16:10.98
and we need to give that.
00:16:11.01\00:16:12.94
Keep this in mind now
this is important point.
00:16:12.97\00:16:16.14
Let's look at just
a little bit closer,
00:16:16.17\00:16:18.47
this prospect
in which the symbol
00:16:18.50\00:16:20.82
or a way this begins
in Revelation Chapter 12.
00:16:20.85\00:16:24.84
We have a symbol of governments,
00:16:24.87\00:16:27.24
oh, it's interesting.
00:16:27.27\00:16:28.49
The government coming together
00:16:28.52\00:16:30.08
with the dragon
Revelation Chapter 12,
00:16:30.11\00:16:33.07
and the leopard like beast
00:16:33.10\00:16:34.62
and the two horned
beast of revelation 13,
00:16:34.65\00:16:37.53
I know it takes a lot of study,
00:16:37.56\00:16:38.73
that's why you can't really
00:16:38.76\00:16:39.82
hard to do this
study in one time,
00:16:39.85\00:16:40.88
but it's gonna--
00:16:40.91\00:16:41.94
I hope it's gonna reprove
you to get into the Word of God
00:16:41.97\00:16:44.30
and study these things out.
00:16:44.33\00:16:46.15
As we look at this prophecy,
this same line prophecy,
00:16:46.18\00:16:49.50
it continues on in
Revelation Chapter 14,
00:16:49.53\00:16:53.02
the powers all
persecute God's church.
00:16:53.05\00:16:57.24
This is a key, these powers
that we been talking about
00:16:57.27\00:17:00.08
there in Revelation Chapter 12,
Revelation 13, Revelation 14,
00:17:00.11\00:17:05.31
they all persecute
God's church or God's people.
00:17:05.34\00:17:09.78
Revelation 13:7 tells us that.
00:17:09.81\00:17:11.95
Remember this
prophecy opens with the church
00:17:11.98\00:17:15.54
under the symbol of a woman.
00:17:15.57\00:17:17.34
You remember in
Revelation Chapter 12,
00:17:17.37\00:17:18.93
saw woman on the moon.
00:17:18.96\00:17:20.01
You remember? Sure.
00:17:20.04\00:17:21.07
Yeah, ready to
give birth to what?
00:17:21.10\00:17:24.44
Child or to Jesus.
00:17:24.47\00:17:25.50
You remember
that? New Testament.
00:17:25.53\00:17:27.26
Here the dragon then
stood before right the woman
00:17:27.29\00:17:30.54
which is the church,
the dragon is the devil,
00:17:30.57\00:17:33.22
stood before the church,
00:17:33.25\00:17:34.39
right, the woman and he
tried to kill the man child
00:17:34.42\00:17:37.79
and certainly that would be,
00:17:37.82\00:17:39.13
wouldn't that be Jesus?
00:17:39.16\00:17:40.19
Absolutely in Matthew
we talk about Matthew 2:13,
00:17:40.22\00:17:44.63
and Herod tried to
kill Jesus as He was born.
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.81
You know, it didn't work,
00:17:47.84\00:17:49.80
praise God for that
because the bible said,
00:17:49.83\00:17:51.84
there in Revelation 12:5
00:17:51.87\00:17:53.43
"He was caught up
to God and His throne."
00:17:53.46\00:17:56.38
Praise God, he still in control.
00:17:56.41\00:17:58.70
Then we see the church
later on you got stay with,
00:17:58.73\00:18:01.08
we see the church a
little bit later on,
00:18:01.11\00:18:03.21
it suffers more and
more form the dragon,
00:18:03.24\00:18:06.70
the dragon again is the enemy.
00:18:06.73\00:18:09.21
In the scene John sees
00:18:09.24\00:18:11.29
the prophet
begins to see something.
00:18:11.32\00:18:13.53
He looks forward as he
begins to look forward in time,
00:18:13.56\00:18:16.23
he sees this persecution power.
00:18:16.26\00:18:18.49
He sees all the enemies of God
00:18:18.52\00:18:20.95
coming against the
church, God's people.
00:18:20.98\00:18:23.54
Keep that in mind.
00:18:23.57\00:18:24.86
So in Revelation 13:1 we
see the leopard like beast.
00:18:24.89\00:18:30.01
He works notice this,
in the place of the dragon,
00:18:30.04\00:18:34.50
the leopard like
beast in Revelation 13:1
00:18:34.53\00:18:37.30
works in the place of
the dragon or the devil.
00:18:37.33\00:18:40.73
Interesting, from the power
00:18:40.76\00:18:43.27
this church suffers persecution
the Bible says, what?
00:18:43.30\00:18:47.26
1,260 years,
00:18:47.29\00:18:49.96
the dark ages that we
are talking about, sure.
00:18:49.99\00:18:52.85
And then the church
has another conflict
00:18:52.88\00:18:55.77
with this two horned beast.
00:18:55.80\00:18:58.31
Then Jesus comes,
God's people you see,
00:18:58.34\00:19:01.77
they stand
together then on Mount Zion,
00:19:01.80\00:19:03.76
they gain a victory.
00:19:03.79\00:19:05.18
But remember we're
tracing the powers,
00:19:05.21\00:19:07.27
we're tracing 12, 13
and 14 of Book of Revelation
00:19:07.30\00:19:11.06
and we see God's people
coming forth, victorious.
00:19:11.09\00:19:14.31
But there is a persecuting power
00:19:14.34\00:19:15.84
of the devil is
against God's last day people.
00:19:15.87\00:19:19.42
Interesting in this prophecy,
00:19:19.45\00:19:20.92
it changes with different beast,
00:19:20.95\00:19:22.63
you notice that with the enemy,
00:19:22.66\00:19:24.40
but with God's people
it always remains the same.
00:19:24.43\00:19:27.67
It always appears the same
00:19:27.70\00:19:29.70
in all the vision
God's true church,
00:19:29.73\00:19:32.27
always identified
the very same way.
00:19:32.30\00:19:34.80
You know that in
Revelation 12:17,
00:19:34.83\00:19:36.65
God's true church.
00:19:36.68\00:19:38.24
You see all the
other persecutors,
00:19:38.27\00:19:39.85
all the enemies of God say
00:19:39.88\00:19:42.04
they
persecuting the true church.
00:19:42.07\00:19:44.16
What is it?
00:19:44.19\00:19:45.22
It's simply a false
or an apostate church,
00:19:45.25\00:19:48.86
it's a counterfeit.
00:19:48.89\00:19:50.85
The counterfeit always
fights against the truth.
00:19:50.88\00:19:54.84
So keep this in mind as
we go most generally you say,
00:19:54.87\00:19:57.61
well, how do you know?
00:19:57.64\00:19:58.73
Well, most generally we
can find through history
00:19:58.76\00:20:00.68
and trace it down
00:20:00.71\00:20:02.19
that the civil power
as it were on its own
00:20:02.22\00:20:05.32
does not generally
00:20:05.35\00:20:06.59
go against the
people of God or you say,
00:20:06.62\00:20:09.58
Christian individuals.
00:20:09.61\00:20:10.77
It's takes a little prompting,
form the Christian world
00:20:10.80\00:20:13.98
so unless controlled
00:20:14.01\00:20:16.38
by the
counterfeit religious system.
00:20:16.41\00:20:19.44
So usually the
state doesn't go against
00:20:19.47\00:20:21.00
as were the Christian
00:20:21.03\00:20:22.14
and the movement unless a
counterfeit or a religious
00:20:22.17\00:20:24.84
so called system put
pressure on them to do it.
00:20:24.87\00:20:28.04
Kind of interesting thought.
00:20:28.07\00:20:29.44
So why does--
00:20:29.47\00:20:30.58
what does the dragon
then really represent?
00:20:30.61\00:20:33.06
Well, simply surely
primarily it represents Satan,
00:20:33.09\00:20:36.98
Revelation 12:9, it's
very simple to find out.
00:20:37.01\00:20:39.81
And secondarily, we see
that it's a Roman empire
00:20:39.84\00:20:43.48
in it's pagan
form to begin with,
00:20:43.51\00:20:46.07
interesting, but it changes.
00:20:46.10\00:20:48.68
You see it's always changing.
The enemy is always changing.
00:20:48.71\00:20:51.46
He doesn't want
himself to identified.
00:20:51.49\00:20:53.22
Here we begin to seeing a
new element come to light.
00:20:53.25\00:20:57.28
All the other you know,
were just powers and so on.
00:20:57.31\00:20:59.58
So this now comes to light
00:20:59.61\00:21:00.89
with civil and
religious power coming together,
00:21:00.92\00:21:05.54
a counterfeit religious
system that Satan has inspired.
00:21:05.57\00:21:11.02
Interesting so the dragon,
Satan then disguises paganism
00:21:11.05\00:21:16.67
with a false system of religion.
00:21:16.70\00:21:20.03
How interesting?
00:21:20.06\00:21:21.56
Very interesting
we always said what?
00:21:21.59\00:21:23.27
The enemy is
just a counterfeiter,
00:21:23.30\00:21:25.27
isn't that right?
00:21:25.30\00:21:27.22
He counterfeits
every truth that God has,
00:21:27.25\00:21:29.76
and so God has a true
religious system as it were.
00:21:29.79\00:21:33.25
God has truth,
the devil then what?
00:21:33.28\00:21:35.26
Has a counterfeit.
00:21:35.29\00:21:36.40
So he introduces his
counterfeit system of worship,
00:21:36.43\00:21:40.79
interesting and then
we're talking about the beast
00:21:40.82\00:21:43.62
and all of these things.
00:21:43.65\00:21:44.78
So you don't want
to miss these things.
00:21:44.81\00:21:46.15
Why did the enemy
persecute the church?
00:21:46.18\00:21:49.41
Sounds like a
very simple question
00:21:49.44\00:21:51.28
but why did the enemy
really persecute the church?
00:21:51.31\00:21:54.88
Think about it,
00:21:54.91\00:21:55.97
well, number one is
because God's people
00:21:56.00\00:21:58.16
were really multiplying.
00:21:58.19\00:22:00.20
Remember when persecution came
00:22:00.23\00:22:01.85
because God's people are active,
00:22:01.88\00:22:03.66
when we're active in the church
00:22:03.69\00:22:05.22
right the devil
starts that persecuting.
00:22:05.25\00:22:07.49
So we find out that
God's people were multiplying,
00:22:07.52\00:22:10.33
they were teaching the truth
00:22:10.36\00:22:12.53
and they were exposing the
superstitions, idol worship
00:22:12.56\00:22:16.57
and manmade
doctrines and traditions.
00:22:16.60\00:22:19.41
The enemy cannot
stand to be exposed
00:22:19.44\00:22:22.67
but remember this
false religious system
00:22:22.70\00:22:24.97
is built on paganism,
00:22:25.00\00:22:26.70
it's built--
00:22:26.73\00:22:28.19
may I say the doctrine of devils
00:22:28.22\00:22:30.60
and yet the whole
world is wondering after,
00:22:30.63\00:22:32.78
they don't want
to hear anything.
00:22:32.81\00:22:34.05
God help us to see the
importance of this message.
00:22:34.08\00:22:37.26
So as we read the
Book of Revelation,
00:22:37.29\00:22:38.78
we see this leopard
like beast of Revelation 13,
00:22:38.81\00:22:42.18
it's starts out
then just simply here
00:22:42.21\00:22:44.06
so we understand
it the Roman empire,
00:22:44.09\00:22:46.00
we see that.
00:22:46.03\00:22:47.21
But again a change develops.
00:22:47.24\00:22:50.23
A religious
element is what? Is added.
00:22:50.26\00:22:53.56
The beast we look at is
only different form the dragon
00:22:53.59\00:22:57.68
and then that it
represents a religious aspect
00:22:57.71\00:23:01.03
or people think that it
has religion written on top.
00:23:01.06\00:23:05.14
That makes this power
more and more than just civil,
00:23:05.17\00:23:09.76
but it's talking about
civil and religious church
00:23:09.79\00:23:14.09
and state coming together.
00:23:14.12\00:23:16.13
Please remember when the
church and state comes together
00:23:16.16\00:23:19.02
the minority always suffers
persecution, remember that.
00:23:19.05\00:23:23.11
And sad to say in
the Book of Revelation
00:23:23.14\00:23:24.76
we see that the
Protestant movement,
00:23:24.79\00:23:26.89
is the one we're
always looking at Catholicism
00:23:26.92\00:23:28.69
or always looking
the Chaotic church,
00:23:28.72\00:23:30.02
and we're always pinpoint yeah,
00:23:30.05\00:23:31.26
they are waiting by
there is no doubt about it.
00:23:31.29\00:23:33.21
But the Protestant are the one
00:23:33.24\00:23:34.32
that makes the
image to the beast,
00:23:34.35\00:23:36.68
make these laws you see.
00:23:36.71\00:23:38.42
So we need to be very careful
but we need to be exposed,
00:23:38.45\00:23:41.31
we need not stand ideally by
when we see the time before us,
00:23:41.34\00:23:44.52
we need to lift up
our voice like a trumpet.
00:23:44.55\00:23:47.71
You see as we
look at this power,
00:23:47.74\00:23:49.48
this beast we
find this beast power
00:23:49.51\00:23:52.39
that the world
is wondering after,
00:23:52.42\00:23:53.93
listen that the dragon
00:23:53.96\00:23:55.58
gave him his power, his
seat and great authority
00:23:55.61\00:23:58.89
that's what the Bible
said, that's Revelation 13:4.
00:23:58.92\00:24:02.49
And people says, we
need to tone it down,
00:24:02.52\00:24:03.93
we need to be careful
what we are talking about.
00:24:03.96\00:24:05.77
The Bible says, that
it has to do with worship,
00:24:05.80\00:24:08.88
a false religious
system based on paganism
00:24:08.91\00:24:12.25
and the majority of the world
00:24:12.28\00:24:13.35
wondered after the
beast, they accept his teaching
00:24:13.38\00:24:15.99
and they're not written
on the Lamb's books of life,
00:24:16.02\00:24:17.95
you cannot remain silent.
00:24:17.98\00:24:19.69
You have to be
clear on these issues.
00:24:19.72\00:24:21.59
We are not trying to make
judgment pass upon the man
00:24:21.62\00:24:24.25
but religious organization.
00:24:24.28\00:24:26.67
Mark of the beast what is
it? Please stay with me on it.
00:24:26.70\00:24:31.25
Here we go, let's do
some identifying some more.
00:24:31.28\00:24:33.61
What power succeeded pagan Rome?
00:24:33.64\00:24:35.96
Well, most of you
know, its papal Rome, sure.
00:24:35.99\00:24:39.14
So Satan works through
this leopard like beast,
00:24:39.17\00:24:43.51
the beast whose
wound was healed,
00:24:43.54\00:24:46.13
do you remember Revelation 13:3?
00:24:46.16\00:24:48.50
Sure, the beast that the
whole world wondered after.
00:24:48.53\00:24:53.39
The beast which
spoke blasphemies,
00:24:53.42\00:24:56.17
the beast that
killed the saints of God,
00:24:56.20\00:24:58.92
Revelation 13:5, 7.
00:24:58.95\00:25:01.74
A power that lasted 1,260 years,
00:25:01.77\00:25:05.80
Revelation 13:5, this-- listen,
00:25:05.83\00:25:09.18
this all happened before
the two horned beast appears
00:25:09.21\00:25:14.30
you remember
coming out of the earth
00:25:14.33\00:25:16.09
or the United
States in Bible prophecy.
00:25:16.12\00:25:19.26
Please keep that in mind.
00:25:19.29\00:25:21.25
So this leopard like beast,
00:25:21.28\00:25:23.23
this little horned
00:25:23.26\00:25:24.97
of Daniel 7-- 8:20, 24, 25
00:25:25.00\00:25:31.58
symbolizes the very
same power the papacy.
00:25:31.61\00:25:35.45
You can't miss it.
00:25:35.48\00:25:36.67
You spend some time,
00:25:36.70\00:25:37.73
oh, brothers and
sisters, please spend.
00:25:37.76\00:25:38.95
Let me just give you
00:25:38.98\00:25:40.01
just quickly six
points to consider.
00:25:40.04\00:25:42.24
Please consider these points
because we're gonna talk--
00:25:42.27\00:25:43.90
we have to identify the beast,
00:25:43.93\00:25:45.48
then we have to identify what
that beast powers been up to
00:25:45.51\00:25:47.80
and how the world
would follow after it.
00:25:47.83\00:25:49.57
Notice, little horned
was a blasphemy famous power,
00:25:49.60\00:25:52.71
a blasphemed Daniel
7:25, Revelation 13:6.
00:25:52.74\00:25:57.72
This beast made
war with the saints,
00:25:57.75\00:26:00.43
Daniel 7:21, Revelation 13:7,
00:26:00.46\00:26:04.20
it had a mouth
speaking great things,
00:26:04.23\00:26:06.30
Daniel 7:8, 20, Revelation 13:5,
00:26:06.33\00:26:10.42
the little horned
arose form pagan Rome,
00:26:10.45\00:26:14.01
the beast of Revelation 13:2
arises also at the same time.
00:26:14.04\00:26:19.17
The little horned
then continued a time,
00:26:19.20\00:26:21.59
a times and a dividing of times.
00:26:21.62\00:26:24.77
That's 1,260 years,
00:26:24.80\00:26:26.87
easy to see in the
Book of Daniel 7:25,
00:26:26.90\00:26:30.17
Revelation 13:5,
00:26:30.20\00:26:32.55
42 months you see,
00:26:32.58\00:26:34.07
a time of times
of dividing of times,
00:26:34.10\00:26:35.84
please keep this in mind.
00:26:35.87\00:26:37.25
And then at the end
00:26:37.28\00:26:38.34
of the 1,260
years the Bible said,
00:26:38.37\00:26:41.70
a deadly wound would be given
to this little horned power.
00:26:41.73\00:26:45.58
Daniel 7:25 at
the end of this time,
00:26:45.61\00:26:48.02
this leopard like beast
we are talking about here
00:26:48.05\00:26:50.89
was led into captivity
and it died by the sword.
00:26:50.92\00:26:54.53
You remember Revelation 13:10?
00:26:54.56\00:26:56.48
It led into captivity
and therefore this fulfilled
00:26:56.51\00:26:59.61
the prophecy we
are talking about here
00:26:59.64\00:27:01.62
or by the Pope when he
was taking into captivity
00:27:01.65\00:27:05.72
and he was exiled and we realize
00:27:05.75\00:27:07.60
that at the end of
1,260 years where 1798.
00:27:07.63\00:27:11.62
Bible prophecy fulfilled,
00:27:11.65\00:27:13.41
you can't miss who the beast
is and what the beast is up to.
00:27:13.44\00:27:17.76
So this power does what?
00:27:17.79\00:27:19.13
It speaks blasphemies
and again people have
00:27:19.16\00:27:21.76
very little
concept of blasphemy.
00:27:21.79\00:27:24.79
Do you remember?
Let's just go over it again.
00:27:24.82\00:27:26.42
The Jews said
that Jesus spoke what?
00:27:26.45\00:27:28.83
Blasphemy. Well,
what was He doing?
00:27:28.86\00:27:31.55
They said, Jesus,
you're speaking blasphemy.
00:27:31.58\00:27:33.65
Well, the Book of John
10:33 the Bible is very clear.
00:27:33.68\00:27:37.93
Its' the talk about
Jesus "Thou being a man,
00:27:37.96\00:27:41.23
makest thyself God."
00:27:41.26\00:27:42.98
So speaking blasphemy
00:27:43.01\00:27:44.13
is a man trying to
make himself as God.
00:27:44.16\00:27:48.12
Luke 5:21,
00:27:48.15\00:27:51.17
"Who can forgive
sin, but God alone?"
00:27:51.20\00:27:54.13
So it would be what?
00:27:54.16\00:27:55.46
A blasphemer is a
man, assuming the what?
00:27:55.49\00:27:59.17
The prerogatives
of God and takes what,
00:27:59.20\00:28:02.53
the titles of deity.
00:28:02.56\00:28:05.04
Wow, and it deals with
religion not computers,
00:28:05.07\00:28:10.51
not little chips,
not little here that.
00:28:10.54\00:28:12.48
Who we worship?
00:28:12.51\00:28:14.34
Is there such a
religious movement
00:28:14.37\00:28:17.40
in the world today
00:28:17.43\00:28:18.49
and been there for long time
that claims these prerogatives?
00:28:18.52\00:28:22.72
Revelation 13:11 we
didn't read Revelation 13:11-18
00:28:22.75\00:28:26.85
you need to do that,
00:28:26.88\00:28:27.91
United States in Bible prophecy,
00:28:27.94\00:28:29.53
no time to go
into detail on that,
00:28:29.56\00:28:32.15
because this beast was
coming out of the earth
00:28:32.18\00:28:33.76
and it had two horns like a lamb
00:28:33.79\00:28:35.94
and it was speaking, what?
00:28:35.97\00:28:37.07
Like the dragon. So you
know what we need to do?
00:28:37.10\00:28:39.30
You need to call,
00:28:39.33\00:28:40.36
we did several
hours on United States
00:28:40.39\00:28:43.00
and Bible prophecy,
00:28:43.03\00:28:44.15
so you need to call in
for those DVDs and boy,
00:28:44.18\00:28:46.32
you'll see how it
really fits together.
00:28:46.35\00:28:48.17
American prophecy, we
won't have time to do that.
00:28:48.20\00:28:51.13
So now why are many today,
00:28:51.16\00:28:54.50
they're not
proclaiming this message?
00:28:54.53\00:28:57.29
This is crucial, this
is life and death issue,
00:28:57.32\00:29:00.33
and yet no-- we does--
00:29:00.36\00:29:01.65
very few people
are proclaiming it
00:29:01.68\00:29:03.50
in the world today
and warning the world.
00:29:03.53\00:29:06.77
Maybe it's possibly
because they've rejected
00:29:06.80\00:29:09.46
the clear council of God.
00:29:09.49\00:29:11.76
We find that all
over the world today.
00:29:11.79\00:29:14.55
We find it in the
church and outside the church,
00:29:14.58\00:29:16.41
we just reject
the council of God.
00:29:16.44\00:29:19.44
They have slided the prophecies,
00:29:19.47\00:29:22.40
the prophetic
portions of the Bible,
00:29:22.43\00:29:24.10
they just slided,
they done away with it,
00:29:24.13\00:29:25.94
they don't want to hear it.
00:29:25.97\00:29:27.87
And what does it do?
00:29:27.90\00:29:28.94
Prophecy reveals the conflict
between the kingdom of God
00:29:28.97\00:29:33.54
and the kingdom of Satan.
00:29:33.57\00:29:35.56
Does that make
sense? Absolutely, it does.
00:29:35.59\00:29:38.42
You see, many have lost touch,
00:29:38.45\00:29:40.85
many have lost
touch with Christ.
00:29:40.88\00:29:43.46
They've chosen another
leader, how sad that is?
00:29:43.49\00:29:48.00
And many have chosen
it without realizing it,
00:29:48.03\00:29:50.80
that's why God said,
00:29:50.83\00:29:51.89
I'll raise the people
that would expose this power,
00:29:51.92\00:29:54.30
before that day come.
00:29:54.33\00:29:55.36
Do you remember?
00:29:55.39\00:29:58.43
I want you think
with me just for a moment.
00:29:58.46\00:30:00.45
You might and say, well,
00:30:00.48\00:30:02.03
you know, I go to
this church or that church
00:30:02.06\00:30:03.90
and you know and
they seem to be on fire.
00:30:03.93\00:30:06.07
Man, they are just you know,
00:30:06.10\00:30:07.19
that hoping and howling
heaven a wonderful time,
00:30:07.22\00:30:09.56
they've a lot of zeal.
00:30:09.59\00:30:12.31
Well, think
about it nothing wrong
00:30:12.34\00:30:13.37
with having some godly zeal,
00:30:13.40\00:30:15.29
but you know
the churches having,
00:30:15.32\00:30:16.47
they say, zeal and everything
sees to be going with Him,
00:30:16.50\00:30:19.55
you know when they are
off track with the truth,
00:30:19.58\00:30:22.93
you know, it could becomes
a very difficult to decide
00:30:22.96\00:30:25.54
what is right and what is wrong?
00:30:25.57\00:30:27.19
What do you think about it,
00:30:27.22\00:30:28.81
the track of truth
we need to be following,
00:30:28.84\00:30:32.16
but all these excitement
in some places people are
00:30:32.19\00:30:34.47
is exchanging that
excitement for what is truth?
00:30:34.50\00:30:37.24
You can't that never
work, we can't do that.
00:30:37.27\00:30:39.24
They have a form the
Bible says of Godliness
00:30:39.27\00:30:42.97
but they deny the
power they're off.
00:30:43.00\00:30:45.15
Have you read that in 2
Timothy 3:5 sure you have?
00:30:45.18\00:30:48.96
See, to me it's sad,
00:30:48.99\00:30:50.50
it's sad in the
world to look around
00:30:50.53\00:30:52.12
at the many of the
Protestant churches today,
00:30:52.15\00:30:54.20
may be all of them,
00:30:54.23\00:30:55.81
as it acts it's
part in this prophecy.
00:30:55.84\00:30:59.08
Remember it needs
to be exposed because,
00:30:59.11\00:31:00.41
there are as many
00:31:00.44\00:31:01.48
good godly people
that just don't know
00:31:01.51\00:31:04.14
because the devil
has done a good job,
00:31:04.17\00:31:08.12
counterfeiting and
calling something religious.
00:31:08.15\00:31:10.59
You-- many of you so
hoodwinked out there today,
00:31:10.62\00:31:12.86
you think because
on a sign out front
00:31:12.89\00:31:15.04
it says church or prophecy
00:31:15.07\00:31:17.12
or whatever it
might say come and join,
00:31:17.15\00:31:19.01
that is God's church.
00:31:19.04\00:31:20.44
No, it's not.
00:31:20.47\00:31:22.77
The enemy basically is
running the churches today
00:31:22.80\00:31:25.69
because we are not
following the councils of God.
00:31:25.72\00:31:27.34
If you don't
follow God's council,
00:31:27.37\00:31:28.47
you're following the
council of the enemy.
00:31:28.50\00:31:31.36
They're denying
the power of God.
00:31:31.39\00:31:33.75
We've lost real
power in the church.
00:31:33.78\00:31:36.39
Where is the power
in the church today?
00:31:36.42\00:31:39.37
If we don't follow
the council of God,
00:31:39.40\00:31:40.71
there can be no
power in the church.
00:31:40.74\00:31:43.27
There maybe movement
and excitement and shouting
00:31:43.30\00:31:45.57
and saying you
having a wonderful time,
00:31:45.60\00:31:47.41
but listen you are
changed in the body, mind, soul,
00:31:47.44\00:31:50.26
ready for heaven
when you were sanctified
00:31:50.29\00:31:52.36
by knowing what is truth.
00:31:52.39\00:31:54.52
You identify the enemy.
00:31:54.55\00:31:56.03
And when you
identifying the enemy
00:31:56.06\00:31:57.31
let me tell you,
00:31:57.34\00:31:58.37
set yourself up for
a lot of temptations,
00:31:58.40\00:31:59.86
you set yourself up
00:31:59.89\00:32:01.12
I'm telling you definitely
that the enemy will attack you.
00:32:01.15\00:32:05.73
Oh, I want you to
keep that in mind,
00:32:05.76\00:32:07.08
denying the power.
00:32:07.11\00:32:10.64
We need to see
that the church today
00:32:10.67\00:32:14.22
is turning to the state
to help supply its lack.
00:32:14.25\00:32:20.10
How many times
you've seen in the world
00:32:20.13\00:32:21.17
that we live in today?
00:32:21.20\00:32:22.25
Think about it, how many times
00:32:22.28\00:32:23.66
that the Christian
world basically Protestantism,
00:32:23.69\00:32:26.57
we go it's abortion or
whatever it might be there,
00:32:26.60\00:32:30.20
we go to the
state and we're saying,
00:32:30.23\00:32:33.13
can you tell us what's right?
00:32:33.16\00:32:34.51
Can you tell us what's right?
00:32:34.54\00:32:36.82
Let's pass the
law, let's pass the law.
00:32:36.85\00:32:39.06
It maybe right within itself
00:32:39.09\00:32:40.52
but you never
for religious things
00:32:40.55\00:32:42.20
you don't go to the state
and ask them to pass the law.
00:32:42.23\00:32:45.20
They really don't want
to, but we as Christians
00:32:45.23\00:32:47.93
keep throwing it
back to the state.
00:32:47.96\00:32:49.84
That's called church
and state uniting together.
00:32:49.87\00:32:53.11
And then when you do
00:32:53.14\00:32:54.21
that's where the
enemy can really work,
00:32:54.24\00:32:56.00
dear friends and we see
it all the time in many areas
00:32:56.03\00:32:58.06
don't have time to
mention but you know,
00:32:58.09\00:32:59.13
what I'm talking
about, church and state.
00:32:59.16\00:33:02.12
There will be a formation
to the image of the beast
00:33:02.15\00:33:04.43
there is no doubt.
00:33:04.46\00:33:07.11
And if we don't
worship that the law is past
00:33:07.14\00:33:10.66
and if we do not
worship that beast,
00:33:10.69\00:33:14.34
we should be kills
what the Bible said.
00:33:14.37\00:33:17.57
So what is that then
the mark of the beast?
00:33:17.60\00:33:20.42
What really is that
the mark of the beast?
00:33:20.45\00:33:24.44
You see, the
church is to be preparing
00:33:24.47\00:33:26.60
for the second coming of
Jesus, do you believe that?
00:33:26.63\00:33:28.61
I believe it.
00:33:28.64\00:33:30.23
And so Christ wants His people,
00:33:30.26\00:33:32.36
we must be entirely
separated from paganism
00:33:32.39\00:33:36.79
and from the papal
errors and corruption.
00:33:36.82\00:33:39.89
We've got it
totally separated them
00:33:39.92\00:33:41.64
and a reform must be made
00:33:41.67\00:33:43.89
even in this church
and all the churches
00:33:43.92\00:33:46.06
on the Sabbath issue
the Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:33:46.09\00:33:49.19
We have to have a reform.
00:33:49.22\00:33:51.62
Some of you are almost
said, sorry, Sabbath keepers.
00:33:51.65\00:33:55.20
And I must stay with it.
00:33:55.23\00:33:57.51
You see, we live
in this world today
00:33:57.54\00:33:59.00
we need the help
of the Holy Spirit.
00:33:59.03\00:34:01.02
We need to be guided.
00:34:01.05\00:34:02.43
The mark of the
beast is the change
00:34:02.46\00:34:04.92
which this beast attempts
to make in the law of God.
00:34:04.95\00:34:08.63
To concerning what?
00:34:08.66\00:34:09.71
The Ten
Commandments, the moral law,
00:34:09.74\00:34:12.23
the only law in the universe
00:34:12.26\00:34:15.20
that's immutable and
perpetual obligation,
00:34:15.23\00:34:18.03
the only one, interesting.
00:34:18.06\00:34:20.54
Because Daniel 7:25
said this beast power
00:34:20.57\00:34:22.81
would think to
change times and laws.
00:34:22.84\00:34:25.52
Oh, how God has
exposed this power in time
00:34:25.55\00:34:29.45
after time after time
00:34:29.48\00:34:30.66
and we close our
minds and our hearts to it.
00:34:30.69\00:34:33.39
Hear the facts.
00:34:33.42\00:34:34.45
Let's just go
few facts, shall we?
00:34:34.48\00:34:36.51
This is based upon
evidence of scripture,
00:34:36.54\00:34:40.33
on evidence from
the Roman catechism,
00:34:40.36\00:34:44.25
by Vatican II press?
00:34:44.28\00:34:46.17
Are you still with me?
00:34:46.20\00:34:48.18
That the Catholic
Church has changed the day
00:34:48.21\00:34:50.74
of the Sabbath
00:34:50.77\00:34:51.84
from the Seventh-day of the week
00:34:51.87\00:34:53.45
to the first day of the week.
00:34:53.48\00:34:56.96
Their testimony is clear,
the Bible testimony is clear.
00:34:56.99\00:35:03.88
So what are we doing
with this clear information,
00:35:03.91\00:35:07.74
the change of
Saturday to Sunday?
00:35:07.77\00:35:10.91
They say it very interesting
00:35:10.94\00:35:12.44
was made by the
authority of the Catholic Church
00:35:12.47\00:35:15.77
and it's based upon
the apostolic tradition.
00:35:15.80\00:35:20.14
Let me tell you dear friends,
and I'm not going to stutter,
00:35:20.17\00:35:23.22
God help me that Sunday
is a child of the papacy,
00:35:23.25\00:35:28.98
Sunday is a child of the papacy.
00:35:29.01\00:35:32.66
The Seventh-day Sabbath
and I'll say this in nice way,
00:35:32.69\00:35:35.16
hope you know what
say, is a child of what?
00:35:35.19\00:35:36.40
Of God, think about it
the Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:35:36.43\00:35:41.75
The Bible warns
what was going try to do.
00:35:41.78\00:35:45.32
Prophecy declares the
only shadow of a doubt
00:35:45.35\00:35:48.64
that this power would
think to change times and law.
00:35:48.67\00:35:51.66
You see, the
church, the Roman Church
00:35:51.69\00:35:53.58
indented to do this.
00:35:53.61\00:35:55.62
They did it by
design, they do it,
00:35:55.65\00:35:59.09
it was gonna take some
time but they had a design,
00:35:59.12\00:36:01.05
they had a plan that
they were going to what?
00:36:01.08\00:36:04.20
Try to make this
change. And then what happened?
00:36:04.23\00:36:07.75
Then the enemy the Bible
said, gave him his power,
00:36:07.78\00:36:10.62
his seat, and great authority.
00:36:10.65\00:36:12.77
Who you're gonna serve today?
00:36:12.80\00:36:14.45
So what's new to you? So
that it challenging to you?
00:36:14.48\00:36:18.43
Why not accept that challenge,
say God help us today.
00:36:18.46\00:36:21.04
This is so important.
00:36:21.07\00:36:23.65
Remember the enemy,
the devil gave this power,
00:36:23.68\00:36:26.67
this beast his
seat and his authority.
00:36:26.70\00:36:30.99
He's having what?
00:36:31.02\00:36:32.05
Some kind of religious
organization as it were right,
00:36:32.08\00:36:35.22
that the enemy is the head
of-- sure you don't want that?
00:36:35.25\00:36:40.48
Oh, I'd never go to
church, I never do this, really?
00:36:40.51\00:36:43.55
All you have to do
is just keep some things
00:36:43.58\00:36:44.92
they instituted
and you are part of,
00:36:44.95\00:36:47.47
accept you as part of it.
00:36:47.50\00:36:50.11
Let's just do a couple of quote,
00:36:50.14\00:36:51.20
well, dozens and dozens
but let's just do it here
00:36:51.23\00:36:53.51
just for so we
can think about it.
00:36:53.54\00:36:55.28
This is taken form
called a new catechism
00:36:55.31\00:36:59.41
of Christian
doctrines and practices.
00:36:59.44\00:37:02.22
Now notice, it's
found under the subject
00:37:02.25\00:37:04.97
of the third commandment
00:37:05.00\00:37:06.28
because we realize
that papacy did what?
00:37:06.31\00:37:08.30
Yeah, they changed
all the commandments
00:37:08.33\00:37:09.93
and got them out of the orders.
00:37:09.96\00:37:10.99
So but here we're talking
about the Seventh-day Sabbath.
00:37:11.02\00:37:13.81
And hear what it says here,
00:37:13.84\00:37:15.28
then they ask
the Catholic Church,
00:37:15.31\00:37:16.70
which day was the Sabbath?
00:37:16.73\00:37:20.12
They talk about the
seventh-day Sabbath.
00:37:20.15\00:37:22.27
They said, the
seventh-day Sabbath.
00:37:22.30\00:37:23.85
Then they, do
you keep the Sabbath?
00:37:23.88\00:37:26.79
Church said, oh, no,
we don't keep the Sabbath.
00:37:26.82\00:37:28.43
We keep the Lord's Day.
00:37:28.46\00:37:31.32
And how sad even
many of you today
00:37:31.35\00:37:33.37
you read the Bible
in Revelation 1:10,
00:37:33.40\00:37:36.01
John said, I was in the
spirit on the Lord's Day.
00:37:36.04\00:37:38.28
Let me tell you when you said,
00:37:38.31\00:37:39.43
that doesn't say
Saturday or Sunday,
00:37:39.46\00:37:41.72
it doesn't it, but you said,
oh, it's Lord's day Sunday.
00:37:41.75\00:37:44.00
That's not true at all.
00:37:44.03\00:37:46.01
I'm not trying to be difficult,
00:37:46.04\00:37:47.07
I'm not trying to be
hard but listen somebody,
00:37:47.10\00:37:49.20
there needs to
be an alarm go off.
00:37:49.23\00:37:51.58
This is kind of
study is that we are,
00:37:51.61\00:37:53.35
it doesn't say which day,
00:37:53.38\00:37:54.82
I was in the
spirit on the Lord's Day.
00:37:54.85\00:37:57.05
But when I read my Bible
in Mark 2:28 the Bible said,
00:37:57.08\00:38:01.82
"The Son of man is
Lord of the Sabbath."
00:38:01.85\00:38:05.27
The Lord's Day is
the seventh-day Sabbath.
00:38:05.30\00:38:07.30
The Lord's Day is not Sunday.
00:38:07.33\00:38:09.53
We need to use the
different passage in that,
00:38:09.56\00:38:10.88
if we are gonna have
some kind of argument
00:38:10.91\00:38:12.30
which are none in scripture.
00:38:12.33\00:38:15.12
Talking about the first
day of the week who changed it?
00:38:15.15\00:38:17.28
What's clear?
00:38:17.31\00:38:18.37
The Catholic Church
changed it in the book
00:38:18.40\00:38:21.05
called the Christian--
00:38:21.08\00:38:22.40
The Catholic
Christian Instructed.
00:38:22.43\00:38:24.53
So it's a book about
instructions we read this.
00:38:24.56\00:38:27.36
What word has you
for keeping Sunday?
00:38:27.39\00:38:30.70
Preferably the ancient
Sabbath, which was Saturday.
00:38:30.73\00:38:34.70
You know, what they
say, boldly they say,
00:38:34.73\00:38:36.35
we have for it,
00:38:36.38\00:38:37.48
the authority of
the Catholic Church,
00:38:37.51\00:38:39.77
so for the authority
of the change from Sabbath
00:38:39.80\00:38:42.00
to the first day of the week
00:38:42.03\00:38:43.32
we have the authority
of the Catholic Church
00:38:43.35\00:38:45.55
and the apostolically
traditions it said here.
00:38:45.58\00:38:49.36
Apostolic traditions?
00:38:49.39\00:38:51.62
Do we not read the
Bible bless our hearts,
00:38:51.65\00:38:54.39
Matthew 15:9 Jesus
said, "In vain" right?
00:38:54.42\00:38:59.87
"Do they worship me,
teaching for doctrines
00:38:59.90\00:39:01.89
the commandments
of men tradition."
00:39:01.92\00:39:06.16
Again we find in the abridgment
00:39:06.19\00:39:08.37
of the Christian doctrine
here little book it says--
00:39:08.40\00:39:11.08
question always ask,
same one over and over,
00:39:11.11\00:39:13.35
how prove you that
the church have power
00:39:13.38\00:39:16.41
to command theist and holydays?
00:39:16.44\00:39:19.80
The Catholic Church says,
00:39:19.83\00:39:20.86
by the very act of
changing the Sabbath,
00:39:20.89\00:39:23.04
that's Seventh-day of the
week, and to Sunday notice this,
00:39:23.07\00:39:26.23
which Protestants allow
00:39:26.26\00:39:29.26
and therefore they
finally contradict themselves,
00:39:29.29\00:39:32.73
papacy is laughing in
your face Protestants.
00:39:32.76\00:39:36.29
Did you get it? They
are laughing in your face.
00:39:36.32\00:39:39.68
We made the change
Protestants follow they formerly
00:39:39.71\00:39:43.28
contradict themselves
by keeping Sunday strictly
00:39:43.31\00:39:47.11
and breaking most
other fees commands
00:39:47.14\00:39:49.65
and it by the same church.
00:39:49.68\00:39:52.21
So we are following when
we do that we're keeping what?
00:39:52.24\00:39:54.73
The day of the beast,
interesting, it's very clear.
00:39:54.76\00:39:59.90
So Catholics plainly acknowledge
00:39:59.93\00:40:04.25
that there is no
scriptural authority
00:40:04.28\00:40:06.50
for the change that they make.
00:40:06.53\00:40:08.67
They say what?
00:40:08.70\00:40:09.97
That it rest holy upon
00:40:10.00\00:40:12.43
the authority of
the church, interesting.
00:40:12.46\00:40:16.57
No, that's rest on the
Bible, what the Bible says here,
00:40:16.60\00:40:19.47
not the authority of the church,
00:40:19.50\00:40:21.96
not of some man,
not of some tradition.
00:40:21.99\00:40:25.49
Interesting
when we study this---
00:40:25.52\00:40:27.67
when prophecy tells
us about a certain power
00:40:27.70\00:40:30.17
shall think try to
change times and laws,
00:40:30.20\00:40:33.57
and then this
power reveals itself
00:40:33.60\00:40:37.00
and it attempts to
change times and laws
00:40:37.03\00:40:39.76
openly claims
that they have done it.
00:40:39.79\00:40:43.06
What other proof do we need?
It's open, it open and shut.
00:40:43.09\00:40:49.58
And why wouldn't we listen?
Why most there because what?
00:40:49.61\00:40:52.42
Spiritual things are
spiritually discerned
00:40:52.45\00:40:54.29
and you are-- we just
not listening anymore.
00:40:54.32\00:40:57.78
We need to open our
hearts and our minds
00:40:57.81\00:40:59.31
this is life and death,
00:40:59.34\00:41:00.50
God's wrath is
going to be poured out
00:41:00.53\00:41:02.15
on those who
follow after the beast,
00:41:02.18\00:41:04.64
who said, he think
to change times and law.
00:41:04.67\00:41:07.11
He instituted Sunday.
00:41:07.14\00:41:11.19
And many honest
heart I realize are going
00:41:11.22\00:41:13.19
and have no idea but
why don't you have an idea,
00:41:13.22\00:41:15.45
don't you read the same Bible?
00:41:15.48\00:41:18.84
Don't you read
the Bible or does--
00:41:18.87\00:41:20.42
you say it
doesn't make a difference?
00:41:20.45\00:41:21.89
I keep everyday a like.
00:41:21.92\00:41:23.09
You cannot keep the
seventh-day like any other day.
00:41:23.12\00:41:25.53
It's a day set us aside
is blessed and sanctified.
00:41:25.56\00:41:28.41
The devil comes long
and said, I can't have this,
00:41:28.44\00:41:29.97
reminds him the God,
reminds him the Creator,
00:41:30.00\00:41:31.75
reminds him the Jesus
Christ, I'm gonna change it.
00:41:31.78\00:41:34.64
I'm gonna have my own day,
00:41:34.67\00:41:37.01
I know it's
difficult to swallow,
00:41:37.04\00:41:38.54
but get angry if you want,
00:41:38.57\00:41:40.12
but I don't
really have you angry
00:41:40.15\00:41:41.22
and get into the Word of God
00:41:41.25\00:41:42.56
and by the grace of God
I see you in the kingdom.
00:41:42.59\00:41:46.50
This is Bible prophecy
we need to be understanding.
00:41:46.53\00:41:49.27
Why are so many confused
about going to church on Sunday
00:41:49.30\00:41:54.01
the first day instead of
the real true worship day
00:41:54.04\00:41:57.51
of the seventh-day, why?
00:41:57.54\00:41:59.69
When I ask this question
00:41:59.72\00:42:00.88
here is the most
popular answer that we get,
00:42:00.91\00:42:02.78
most often as given.
00:42:02.81\00:42:04.57
Jesus rouse on that
day, so now we go to church
00:42:04.60\00:42:07.65
it's an honor of
the resurrection,
00:42:07.68\00:42:09.12
interesting.
00:42:09.15\00:42:11.17
Oh, yeah, it's wonderful,
00:42:11.20\00:42:12.67
praise God for the resurrection.
00:42:12.70\00:42:13.99
But you know what it baptism,
00:42:14.02\00:42:16.24
baptism is an honor
of that resurrection.
00:42:16.27\00:42:19.40
You read that in Romans 6:3, 4.
00:42:19.43\00:42:22.34
It can't be both,
Bible says, like this,
00:42:22.37\00:42:25.04
"Know ye not, that so many of us
00:42:25.07\00:42:26.44
as were baptized
into Jesus Christ
00:42:26.47\00:42:28.92
we were
baptized into his death?"
00:42:28.95\00:42:31.24
Verse 4, ah, notice,
00:42:31.27\00:42:33.44
"Therefore we are buried
with Him in baptism unto death
00:42:33.47\00:42:36.39
that is like
Christ was raised up
00:42:36.42\00:42:38.62
from the dead by
the glory of the Father,
00:42:38.65\00:42:41.09
even so we also should
walk in newness of life."
00:42:41.12\00:42:46.31
Keeping Sunday that's recon,
00:42:46.34\00:42:47.83
nothing to do keep it in Sunday.
00:42:47.86\00:42:48.91
Nothing is changed. I
have to say again, why?
00:42:48.94\00:42:52.75
Why are so many people
confused about which day
00:42:52.78\00:42:56.68
that we should be keeping?
00:42:56.71\00:42:58.68
Think with me just for a moment,
00:42:58.71\00:43:00.27
see Paul made this statement
00:43:00.30\00:43:01.89
and he did in the
2 Thessalonians 2:3,
00:43:01.92\00:43:04.51
he said, "Let no
man deceive you,"
00:43:04.54\00:43:06.10
the devil is the deceiver.
00:43:06.13\00:43:08.81
He said, "Don't let
deceive by any means
00:43:08.84\00:43:10.71
for that day shall not
come, except there come," what?
00:43:10.74\00:43:14.38
"A falling away and the
man of sin is to be revealed,
00:43:14.41\00:43:19.14
that son of
perdition." Verse 4 says,
00:43:19.17\00:43:22.37
"Who opposes and exalt himself
above all that is called God."
00:43:22.40\00:43:27.12
So this power then right,
00:43:27.15\00:43:28.69
it says, we are gonna be
above, what did the devil say?
00:43:28.72\00:43:31.49
What did the devil say?
00:43:31.52\00:43:33.09
I am gonna be at
above God, right?
00:43:33.12\00:43:34.57
I'm gonna sit on His
thrown. So what did he do?
00:43:34.60\00:43:38.49
He used the organization,
00:43:38.52\00:43:39.81
had religion on
the outside of it
00:43:39.84\00:43:41.48
and some of we can't
get it through our head,
00:43:41.51\00:43:42.91
we look if it's in the Bible
00:43:42.94\00:43:44.94
then praise God, that's honored.
00:43:44.97\00:43:47.06
But these are all
manmade traditions
00:43:47.09\00:43:48.60
all these teachings everything,
00:43:48.63\00:43:49.93
very little of ever
humanized was scripture at all
00:43:49.96\00:43:52.22
and yet we call it religion.
00:43:52.25\00:43:54.97
"This beast power would
oppose and exalt himself
00:43:55.00\00:43:57.45
above all that is called
God, or that is worshipped,
00:43:57.48\00:44:01.47
so he as God,"
00:44:01.50\00:44:03.76
the Bible said,
"Sitteth in the temple of God,
00:44:03.79\00:44:06.24
showing himself that he is God."
00:44:06.27\00:44:10.91
So there be a
religious organization
00:44:10.94\00:44:13.37
as it were rise up with
the man at the head of it
00:44:13.40\00:44:15.80
and the man that
the head of it says,
00:44:15.83\00:44:17.61
he occupies the
place of God on this earth.
00:44:17.64\00:44:20.01
There is only one power,
it's a papacy you know that.
00:44:20.04\00:44:22.74
May I just read
you little quote here
00:44:22.77\00:44:24.77
quickly on this before
I say anymore, on this?
00:44:24.80\00:44:28.28
Pope Leo XIII, Pope
Leo XIII in 1894 said this,
00:44:28.31\00:44:33.20
we hold--
talking about the Pope,
00:44:33.23\00:44:35.33
"We hold upon this earth
the place of God Almighty."
00:44:35.36\00:44:39.93
Pretty clear, isn't it?
00:44:39.96\00:44:42.05
From the Catholic
Mirror the bible says,
00:44:42.08\00:44:44.28
in September 1983 says this,
00:44:44.31\00:44:47.99
"The Catholic Church
for over one thousand years
00:44:48.02\00:44:51.02
before the existence of
a Protestant, by virtue,"
00:44:51.05\00:44:55.73
they say, "of
her divine mission,
00:44:55.76\00:44:57.98
changed the day
from Saturday to Sunday."
00:44:58.01\00:45:01.49
The Catholic Mirror,
says this in July 1895,
00:45:01.52\00:45:05.42
it says, The Pope--
oh, somebody hang on,
00:45:05.45\00:45:07.64
"The Pope is not only
00:45:07.67\00:45:09.14
the
representative of Jesus Christ,
00:45:09.17\00:45:12.19
but he is Jesus Christ
Himself, veil of flesh."
00:45:12.22\00:45:19.52
Now you say, you
think it's not blasphemy,
00:45:19.55\00:45:20.97
you think that's not--
00:45:21.00\00:45:22.50
how sad that is not only
00:45:22.53\00:45:24.24
the
representative of Jesus Christ,
00:45:24.27\00:45:26.29
but he is Jesus Christ himself.
00:45:26.32\00:45:28.76
You see the Bible
makes us so clear,
00:45:28.79\00:45:30.46
is there any another
religious denomination
00:45:30.49\00:45:33.55
that said where
whatever in the world
00:45:33.58\00:45:35.48
that has that at their head.
00:45:35.51\00:45:37.81
No, it's easy to understand.
00:45:37.84\00:45:42.56
H.F. Thomas,
chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons
00:45:42.59\00:45:46.82
made this statement,
00:45:46.85\00:45:48.45
when he was
asked about the change,
00:45:48.48\00:45:49.83
he said, "Of
course the Catholic Church
00:45:49.86\00:45:51.63
claims the church,
this change was her act,"
00:45:51.66\00:45:55.24
notice this,
"And the act is a mark
00:45:55.27\00:46:00.19
of her ecclesiastical
authority in religious things."
00:46:00.22\00:46:03.74
We're talking about we're
avoiding the mark of the beast,
00:46:03.77\00:46:05.75
it's very simple to avoid it.
00:46:05.78\00:46:07.31
But we have to
understand what it is,
00:46:07.34\00:46:08.92
but you be able to avoid it.
00:46:08.95\00:46:11.24
Roman Catholic
Church in its own writings,
00:46:11.27\00:46:14.16
the change of the seventh-day
00:46:14.19\00:46:15.46
to the first day
of the week is the--
00:46:15.49\00:46:18.33
her act is a mark of her
ecclesiastical authority,
00:46:18.36\00:46:22.72
mark of the beast.
00:46:22.75\00:46:25.16
Pagan Sunday then is the
mark of the beast of the papacy.
00:46:25.19\00:46:32.33
Interesting in
one little article
00:46:32.36\00:46:34.21
from the
Catholic Press in Sydney,
00:46:34.24\00:46:36.66
Australia made just
little common it says,
00:46:36.69\00:46:39.31
Sunday is the
Catholic institution.
00:46:39.34\00:46:43.00
Do you remember we are
saying nothing about them
00:46:43.03\00:46:44.67
they haven't
this all in own print,
00:46:44.70\00:46:46.53
they boast of it, they say,
00:46:46.56\00:46:47.63
we have the power
to do these things.
00:46:47.66\00:46:50.86
Interesting but the
seventh-day is the Sabbath,
00:46:50.89\00:46:53.87
seventh day is
where God puts places
00:46:53.90\00:46:56.01
His seal upon His people.
00:46:56.04\00:46:58.35
They honored Him,
they keep that day.
00:46:58.38\00:47:01.35
God's gonna place a seal
00:47:01.38\00:47:02.42
on those who honor
Him and keep His day.
00:47:02.45\00:47:05.24
So I want you to
think the mark of the beast
00:47:05.27\00:47:07.54
will be applied when?
00:47:07.57\00:47:09.97
The mark of the
beast will be applied when?
00:47:10.00\00:47:12.14
When Sunday keepers
enforce notice this,
00:47:12.17\00:47:15.37
they force the
government to pass the law.
00:47:15.40\00:47:19.17
That all people must keep
00:47:19.20\00:47:20.86
the first day of
the week, or Sunday.
00:47:20.89\00:47:24.09
You realize Sunday
laws are on the book today?
00:47:24.12\00:47:25.95
Sure you do,
they're called blue laws,
00:47:25.98\00:47:27.50
they're all over the place,
its nothing so out of sort,
00:47:27.53\00:47:30.33
there is not going to happen.
00:47:30.36\00:47:32.22
But things
happening in the world today
00:47:32.25\00:47:33.59
you can see how
easily this can happen.
00:47:33.62\00:47:36.83
Saturday the seventh
day true is God's day,
00:47:36.86\00:47:40.69
the God's day for His people.
00:47:40.72\00:47:42.61
False day Sunday
belongs to the enemy
00:47:42.64\00:47:45.21
working through the papacy.
00:47:45.24\00:47:47.25
Even interesting you
can go to Funk & Wagnalls,
00:47:47.28\00:47:49.63
encyclopedia of
religious knowledge.
00:47:49.66\00:47:51.94
You know what
they say about this?
00:47:51.97\00:47:53.16
They have no acts to grind.
00:47:53.19\00:47:54.22
They say, "Sunday"
first day of the week,
00:47:54.25\00:47:56.28
"day of the sun,
00:47:56.31\00:47:58.15
adopted by the early
Christians as a day of"
00:47:58.18\00:48:00.87
word adopted did you get it?
00:48:00.90\00:48:03.38
Then it says,
00:48:03.41\00:48:04.44
"No regulations
for its observance
00:48:04.47\00:48:07.28
are laid down in
the New Testament
00:48:07.31\00:48:10.03
nor, indeed, is its
observance even enjoined."
00:48:10.06\00:48:14.09
Wow, nothing in
scripture they say,
00:48:14.12\00:48:17.44
then why are we doing it?
00:48:17.47\00:48:19.42
For those of you who say,
00:48:19.45\00:48:20.84
I guess you're
saying that everybody then
00:48:20.87\00:48:24.06
that goes to church on Sunday
has the mark of the beast?
00:48:24.09\00:48:27.45
No, listen to me
carefully, not now, no.
00:48:27.48\00:48:31.24
Sunday keeping is not
yet the mark of the beast
00:48:31.27\00:48:35.38
and it will not be
until the law is passed
00:48:35.41\00:48:38.87
causing men to worship
on the false day Sunday.
00:48:38.90\00:48:42.96
You know, they made
void the law of God,
00:48:42.99\00:48:45.23
do you remember
reading that in the Bible?
00:48:45.26\00:48:46.95
Comes the time I
make void the law of God.
00:48:46.98\00:48:49.59
They think they are going
to and then until each person
00:48:49.62\00:48:52.99
shall be convinced of the truth,
00:48:53.02\00:48:55.56
and they trample
upon the evidence the Lord
00:48:55.59\00:48:58.72
will not withdraw
His grace from them.
00:48:58.75\00:49:01.72
Why because He's
gonna make it clear,
00:49:01.75\00:49:03.79
He is gonna give
you an opportunity
00:49:03.82\00:49:04.98
to learn what truth is,
00:49:05.01\00:49:06.04
then you can trample on it
00:49:06.07\00:49:07.10
and then you do not accept
it, oh, yeah, I notice it.
00:49:07.13\00:49:10.20
The Sabbath
question will be the issue
00:49:10.23\00:49:13.37
of the great conflict
00:49:13.40\00:49:15.71
which all the
world will act apart.
00:49:15.74\00:49:18.83
When the Sunday law is
passed my dear friends,
00:49:18.86\00:49:21.89
and you have sufficient
light to make a decision
00:49:21.92\00:49:25.20
if we continue to keep
Sunday the first day of the week
00:49:25.23\00:49:30.19
the man of sin, right?
00:49:30.22\00:49:33.10
The enemy, the papacy
then the observant of that day
00:49:33.13\00:49:37.35
will calls a person to
receive the mark of the beast.
00:49:37.38\00:49:41.89
When you are enlighten to it,
00:49:41.92\00:49:43.14
when you
understand it you can say,
00:49:43.17\00:49:44.31
I'm gonna avoid it,
00:49:44.34\00:49:45.40
I'm not gonna be you
know, dealing with it,
00:49:45.43\00:49:46.95
you already accountable.
00:49:46.98\00:49:50.72
Paul said this
power, this man of sin,
00:49:50.75\00:49:53.96
the papacy, would
show himself to be God,
00:49:53.99\00:49:57.11
surely its clear.
00:49:57.14\00:49:59.13
Paul said, this man of
sin would last a long time.
00:49:59.16\00:50:02.51
He would have power over
almost all the Christian world.
00:50:02.54\00:50:07.37
The power, this power,
this mystery of inequity,
00:50:07.40\00:50:10.59
the papacy, we're
gonna teach false doctrines
00:50:10.62\00:50:14.69
that they receive from paganism.
00:50:14.72\00:50:18.18
We realize they
lasted 1,260 years
00:50:18.21\00:50:20.86
talking about the dark
ages came the theology of Rome.
00:50:20.89\00:50:28.21
Papacy, paganism,
doctrine of devils,
00:50:28.24\00:50:34.53
oh, friend, God help us,
see the reformation came,
00:50:34.56\00:50:38.36
praise God for the reformation
during the dark ages.
00:50:38.39\00:50:42.23
The reformation
dispelled some false doctrines,
00:50:42.26\00:50:48.17
but not all of them.
00:50:48.20\00:50:50.52
And there remains
many more to be exposed.
00:50:50.55\00:50:53.00
God said, I'm
gonna raise up at people.
00:50:53.03\00:50:55.21
They're gonna hear My
voice, they're gonna break what?
00:50:55.24\00:50:57.99
Start digging down
and taking the dust off
00:50:58.02\00:50:59.78
this beautiful truths
00:50:59.81\00:51:00.84
and they're gonna
raises standard high.
00:51:00.87\00:51:03.48
They're gonna cry
loud and spare not.
00:51:03.51\00:51:05.36
No, the world is
not gonna love them,
00:51:05.39\00:51:06.61
most of the people in
the church won't love them.
00:51:06.64\00:51:09.19
They say they're extremist.
00:51:09.22\00:51:11.44
They're sounding alarm,
00:51:11.47\00:51:12.53
that need to sound but God
is already sounded in His word.
00:51:12.56\00:51:17.31
It's clear what's
going to take place.
00:51:17.34\00:51:20.13
Please don't sleep through
it, so many false doctrines,
00:51:20.16\00:51:24.61
so many drunk
with the wine, you see.
00:51:24.64\00:51:27.90
Why we drinking
from the cup of the enemy
00:51:27.93\00:51:30.30
when we could drink be
drinking from the fountain
00:51:30.33\00:51:32.12
of the living
waters of Jesus Christ?
00:51:32.15\00:51:34.55
Oh, how much happy you
would be in this world?
00:51:34.58\00:51:37.86
You say, yeah,
but how do I avoid,
00:51:37.89\00:51:40.69
how do I avoid
this mark of the beast?
00:51:40.72\00:51:42.38
Oh, it's just so simple,
00:51:42.41\00:51:43.44
I'm just trying to write
quick leave it to the lamb,
00:51:43.47\00:51:46.95
Bible is very clear there
is only going to be one group
00:51:46.98\00:51:50.93
that will avoid
the mark of the beast
00:51:50.96\00:51:52.65
because the Bible said,
00:51:52.68\00:51:53.71
all of the world
wondered after the beast,
00:51:53.74\00:51:55.27
and then those
whose names are what?
00:51:55.30\00:51:56.78
Not written in the
Lamb's book of life,
00:51:56.81\00:51:58.63
please keep that in mind.
00:51:58.66\00:52:00.21
But then it goes on to identify
00:52:00.24\00:52:01.69
there is only one
little small group
00:52:01.72\00:52:03.25
of little
remnant group of people
00:52:03.28\00:52:05.08
and anybody can be in there.
00:52:05.11\00:52:06.41
We are not trying to say,
well, this denomination just be,
00:52:06.44\00:52:08.21
who you can be in it.
00:52:08.24\00:52:09.54
The Bible is
very, very clear on it,
00:52:09.57\00:52:11.28
it identifies it
in Revelation 12:17,
00:52:11.31\00:52:13.66
Bible said, "The
dragon was wroth to woman,
00:52:13.69\00:52:15.97
and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed,
00:52:16.00\00:52:17.75
who keep the
commandments of God,
00:52:17.78\00:52:19.24
and have the faith or
testimony of Jesus Christ."
00:52:19.27\00:52:22.35
God identifies
His last day church,
00:52:22.38\00:52:26.07
He identifies it
and know it what?
00:52:26.10\00:52:28.22
His last day people are
doing by the grace of God
00:52:28.25\00:52:31.67
they're keeping His commandment,
00:52:31.70\00:52:33.14
they're
elevating the law of God,
00:52:33.17\00:52:35.19
a transcript of His character.
00:52:35.22\00:52:37.50
Think about this with
me where that man of sin
00:52:37.53\00:52:39.80
is trying to take out
the fourth commandment
00:52:39.83\00:52:41.62
and replace it with
the false day of worship.
00:52:41.65\00:52:44.41
God said there
will be people arise
00:52:44.44\00:52:45.89
in last day that we'll what?
00:52:45.92\00:52:47.50
Be repairer of the breach,
00:52:47.53\00:52:49.61
they'll proclaim the message
00:52:49.64\00:52:50.71
that the people will be
compelled to pail to hear
00:52:50.74\00:52:53.96
and then to respond
one way or the other.
00:52:53.99\00:52:56.95
I know the Holy Spirit
00:52:56.98\00:52:58.01
is gonna work on
your heart in your life,
00:52:58.04\00:52:59.25
its maybe the first time
00:52:59.28\00:53:00.32
you've ever heard
of it, but God knows.
00:53:00.35\00:53:02.12
He knows the honest in heart.
00:53:02.15\00:53:03.80
Most of you won't do
it, you won't respond,
00:53:03.83\00:53:05.40
you don't want to get involve
00:53:05.43\00:53:06.46
you think you gonna get out
of free and clear, you will not.
00:53:06.49\00:53:09.25
The Bible is clear,
it's there it's in written,
00:53:09.28\00:53:11.82
we need to be compile with that.
00:53:11.85\00:53:13.93
Bible is so clear
in Revelation 14:12
00:53:13.96\00:53:16.09
the Bible ends up says,
00:53:16.12\00:53:17.15
"Here is the
patience of the saints,
00:53:17.18\00:53:19.52
here are they that keep
the commandments of God,
00:53:19.55\00:53:21.88
and have the faith of Jesus."
00:53:21.91\00:53:23.97
Last chapter of the book
of the Bible, Revelation 22:14
00:53:24.00\00:53:26.85
"Blessed are they
that do his commandments,
00:53:26.88\00:53:29.04
that they may have
right to the tree of life."
00:53:29.07\00:53:31.81
Friends, you don't have a
right to the tree of life,
00:53:31.84\00:53:33.72
no way, you ever,
until by the grace of God,
00:53:33.75\00:53:36.05
you elevate those
commandments back up.
00:53:36.08\00:53:38.44
They don't save you.
00:53:38.47\00:53:39.50
They simply
point out what sin is
00:53:39.53\00:53:41.36
and drive you to the Master.
00:53:41.39\00:53:43.07
Isn't that
wonderful to know that?
00:53:43.10\00:53:44.80
We're not trying to
preach salvation by works
00:53:44.83\00:53:46.97
and if you do this and do that,
00:53:47.00\00:53:48.58
no, by the law it's
the knowledge of sin.
00:53:48.61\00:53:51.17
What we're sinners,
we need the grace of God
00:53:51.20\00:53:54.57
and we need to come
before Him and acknowledge Him
00:53:54.60\00:53:56.88
that fourth commandment what?
00:53:56.91\00:53:58.35
He is our Creator,
He is our Redeemer,
00:53:58.38\00:53:59.91
He is our Sustainer.
00:53:59.94\00:54:01.87
Friends, the mark of the beast
when the law is finally passed
00:54:01.90\00:54:04.95
in the land of
mark of the beast,
00:54:04.98\00:54:06.41
it's certainly Sunday observers,
00:54:06.44\00:54:08.32
there is no doubt about it.
00:54:08.35\00:54:10.50
There is no about it.
00:54:10.53\00:54:11.68
Would you pray
with me before we close,
00:54:11.71\00:54:13.78
that the Holy Spirit
will help us to understand,
00:54:13.81\00:54:15.48
we have much more information,
00:54:15.51\00:54:16.77
a lot of things we could
send you if you need them.
00:54:16.80\00:54:18.45
Need more information?
00:54:18.48\00:54:19.54
I want you to give us a call,
we'd be glad to talk with you.
00:54:19.57\00:54:22.11
Let's pray about
this shall we right quick?
00:54:22.14\00:54:25.27
Loving Father in heaven,

00:54:26.36\00:54:28.12

oh, it may upset some
Lord, we pray your Holy Spirit,
00:54:29.21\00:54:32.65
will clam them down help
them to get into the word
00:54:32.68\00:54:34.88

we thank You for warning
us of this apostate power,
00:54:39.13\00:54:42.69
and what Protestantism
is going to be done
00:54:42.72\00:54:44.44
or Catholicism is going to do,
00:54:44.47\00:54:46.29
and besides all of
that there is only one group
00:54:46.32\00:54:48.50
those who are willing to
obey by the grace of God,
00:54:48.53\00:54:50.93
all the commandment including
the seventh-day Sabbath.
00:54:50.96\00:54:53.23
Thank You for hearing,
00:54:53.26\00:54:54.29
thank You for answering
prayer in Jesus name, amen.
00:54:54.32\00:54:59.05

programs to continue to come,

you think they need to go
around the world which they do,
00:55:09.88\00:55:12.78

And then what?

would you pray about it today?
00:55:26.83\00:55:28.32
I'll see you next time.
00:55:28.35\00:55:32.20
Hello and welcome back.
00:55:32.23\00:55:34.15
Friends, this has been
a life changing message
00:55:34.18\00:55:36.97
that dragon has so
skillfully confounded
00:55:37.00\00:55:39.79
and utterly deceived the minds
of millions of wonderful people
00:55:39.82\00:55:43.91
all over this planet of
ours as to who God really is
00:55:43.94\00:55:47.96
and what we are to be like
00:55:47.99\00:55:50.10
if we're to be a
part of His kingdom.
00:55:50.13\00:55:53.40
Listen, as I
read just two verses
00:55:53.43\00:55:55.46
as found in Revelation 13:6, 7.
00:55:55.49\00:55:59.91
"And he opened his mouth
in blasphemy against God,
00:55:59.94\00:56:03.24
to blaspheme his
name, and his tabernacle,
00:56:03.27\00:56:06.71
and then that dwell in heaven.
00:56:06.74\00:56:08.53
And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints,
00:56:08.56\00:56:12.24
and to overcome them
and power was given him
00:56:12.27\00:56:15.72
over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations."
00:56:15.75\00:56:20.14
Friends, this is no
small spiritual warfare
00:56:20.17\00:56:23.16
that we are in the
midst of and it is past time
00:56:23.19\00:56:26.83
that we proclaim
the truth of God's word
00:56:26.86\00:56:29.33
for the saving of souls.
00:56:29.36\00:56:31.18
Therefore we pray
that you'll make the effort
00:56:31.21\00:56:34.24
to order this set
while it is still available
00:56:34.27\00:56:37.75
and use it to bring
others out of spiritual darkness
00:56:37.78\00:56:40.65
and the end to
God's marvels light.
00:56:40.68\00:56:43.21
