Hello, I'm Chris Shelton
00:00:38.80\00:00:40.20
and I want to
welcome those of you at home
00:00:40.24\00:00:42.27
and welcome those of you here
to Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:00:42.30\00:00:45.64
I am excited for what the
Lord is going to do today.
00:00:45.67\00:00:48.64
Here at Behold the Lamb,
we have some special guests.
00:00:48.68\00:00:51.75
We have a speaker
00:00:51.78\00:00:54.65
that many of you know from 3ABN,
00:00:54.68\00:00:56.89
evangelist Ryan Day.
00:00:56.92\00:00:58.42
He is a speaker and a singer.
00:00:58.45\00:01:00.42
I look forward to
what he is going to speak,
00:01:00.46\00:01:02.99
is going to be on the Daily.
00:01:03.02\00:01:05.06
The Daily people are
looking back to Daniel,
00:01:05.09\00:01:07.36
they're looking
back to Revelation.
00:01:07.40\00:01:09.36
And they're trying to figure out
00:01:09.40\00:01:10.73
where we are in
the stream of time.
00:01:10.77\00:01:12.60
And I know by God's grace
00:01:12.63\00:01:14.34
that Brother Ryan
Day is going to help us
00:01:14.37\00:01:17.27
to understand the
Daily even so much more,
00:01:17.31\00:01:20.21
and how it applies
to our time as well.
00:01:20.24\00:01:23.24
We're also going to
have a special music
00:01:23.28\00:01:26.08
and our special
music will be entitled,
00:01:26.11\00:01:28.25
"Lord prepare me" and
that is with a young man.
00:01:28.28\00:01:32.42
How old are you now, Ben?
00:01:32.45\00:01:34.39
He said 22.
00:01:34.42\00:01:35.76
He doesn't have a
mic, bless his heart.
00:01:35.79\00:01:38.23
But he is 22.
00:01:38.26\00:01:39.69
I have known
Ben all of his life.
00:01:39.73\00:01:43.20
And if I
remember correctly, Ben,
00:01:43.23\00:01:45.03
you were born
during one of our Lake,
00:01:45.07\00:01:50.11
Grassy Lake,
00:01:50.14\00:01:51.47
Grassy Lake camp
meetings, weren't you?
00:01:51.51\00:01:54.18
I'm thinking he was...
00:01:54.21\00:01:55.54
He doesn't.
00:01:55.58\00:01:56.91
For some reason
he doesn't remember,
00:01:56.95\00:01:58.55
but we were
having a camp meeting.
00:01:58.58\00:01:59.98
I think that's
when you were born.
00:02:00.02\00:02:01.88
When's your birthday,
Ben, isn't it in September?
00:02:01.92\00:02:04.75
He was born during camp meeting.
00:02:04.79\00:02:07.79
So anyway known his mom,
his dad for many, many years.
00:02:07.82\00:02:12.16
And Ben, actually, I
was his first teacher.
00:02:12.19\00:02:15.80
And he was at our
church school for many years.
00:02:15.83\00:02:18.73
And then after he left,
00:02:18.77\00:02:20.10
he went up to
Thompsonville Church School.
00:02:20.14\00:02:22.27
And there the teacher was
so gifted, bless his heart,
00:02:22.30\00:02:25.34
all he had to do was
hear me, hit, maybe hitting,
00:02:25.37\00:02:28.01
we know a key at
a time on a piano,
00:02:28.04\00:02:30.28
but he had to listen to
our voice to lead out music.
00:02:30.31\00:02:32.95
When he went there,
00:02:32.98\00:02:34.32
she was able to teach
all kinds of instruments,
00:02:34.35\00:02:37.52
and it just absolutely triggered
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.99
a God given gift
in this young man.
00:02:40.02\00:02:42.62
And so we are so thankful.
00:02:42.66\00:02:44.13
I know you'll be
seeing him more here
00:02:44.16\00:02:45.96
at Behold the Lamb Ministries,
00:02:45.99\00:02:47.56
he's going to be coming
00:02:47.60\00:02:48.93
at least every
other week to play,
00:02:48.96\00:02:51.10
and I'm sure he'll be
doing special music for us.
00:02:51.13\00:02:53.74
He has a singing group.
00:02:53.77\00:02:55.10
Hopefully they'll be coming in
00:02:55.14\00:02:56.71
and worshiping the Lord with us.
00:02:56.74\00:02:58.54
So we're excited
to hear his song.
00:02:58.57\00:03:00.48
It's going to be
entitled "Lord, prepare me."
00:03:00.51\00:03:02.88
And then right after that,
00:03:02.91\00:03:04.25
we'll be blessed
by Brother Ryan Day.
00:03:04.28\00:03:06.25
And once again, I really think,
00:03:06.28\00:03:08.95
I just got to tell
you this one quick story.
00:03:08.98\00:03:11.22
A few weeks ago,
00:03:11.25\00:03:12.95
someone was watching 3ABN
00:03:12.99\00:03:14.69
and they were listening
to the worship hour service
00:03:14.72\00:03:17.03
that they've been doing.
00:03:17.06\00:03:18.49
And Pastor Kenny had preached
00:03:18.53\00:03:20.16
and then Brother
Ryan had preached,
00:03:20.20\00:03:22.50
and someone came to
pastor during the week and said,
00:03:22.53\00:03:24.83
"Boy, you two are
the Sons of Thunder."
00:03:24.87\00:03:28.30
And then Dakota showed up.
00:03:28.34\00:03:30.81
And we were doing a
family worship program together.
00:03:30.84\00:03:33.58
And I looked, I said,
00:03:33.61\00:03:34.94
"Boy, they may be the
real Sons of Thunder."
00:03:34.98\00:03:37.81
And then the next week,
pastor came and told me,
00:03:37.85\00:03:40.82
he says, "Well,
she kicked me out."
00:03:40.85\00:03:44.39
Throw him under the bus.
00:03:44.42\00:03:45.75
He said, "Maybe we can
have three Sons of Thunder.
00:03:45.79\00:03:47.96
Can we do that?
00:03:47.99\00:03:49.32
Can we have
three rather than two?"
00:03:49.36\00:03:50.86
I'm looking forward
to what God has to do
00:03:50.89\00:03:53.36
because I know we'll
not see these people,
00:03:53.40\00:03:56.06
but we'll hear God's voice.
00:03:56.10\00:03:57.87
Praise the Lord.
00:06:00.46\00:06:01.79
Praise the Lord for music,
00:06:01.82\00:06:03.16
praise the Lord for
dedicated young men like him.
00:06:03.19\00:06:06.19
You know, I don't think
00:06:06.23\00:06:08.53
sometimes we can
really wrap our minds
00:06:08.56\00:06:09.93
around how
difficult that is to do.
00:06:09.96\00:06:12.77
I've heard many, many
guitarists in my lifetime.
00:06:12.80\00:06:15.97
But to play that
way is very advanced.
00:06:16.00\00:06:18.31
And so I know when
the Lord created Ben,
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.01
I know He decided, He said,
00:06:20.04\00:06:21.81
I know that he's
going to be a good man,
00:06:21.84\00:06:23.55
but he's going to be
a very good guitarist.
00:06:23.58\00:06:27.72
Praise the Lord for that.
00:06:27.75\00:06:29.08
Amen. Praise God.
00:06:29.12\00:06:30.45
We give God the glory, right?
00:06:30.49\00:06:31.82
We don't uplift ourselves.
00:06:31.85\00:06:33.19
We don't uplift man,
00:06:33.22\00:06:34.56
we uplift God
because He is worthy.
00:06:34.59\00:06:36.56
Amen? Praise the Lord.
00:06:36.59\00:06:38.06
I want to jump right into
this because I'm on a time,
00:06:38.09\00:06:40.96
pray for that clock.
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.00
Pray for that clock.
00:06:43.03\00:06:44.37
Pray for that clock
00:06:44.40\00:06:45.73
because I knew I was going to be
00:06:45.77\00:06:47.10
on time limit this morning.
00:06:47.14\00:06:48.47
But I have so much to say
and little time to say it in,
00:06:48.50\00:06:51.04
so let's go ahead
and have a prayer.
00:06:51.07\00:06:52.74
I'm going to get
right into this message.
00:06:52.77\00:06:54.68
Very important today.
00:06:54.71\00:06:56.04
Father in heaven, Lord,
00:06:56.08\00:06:59.75
we give this time to You.
00:06:59.78\00:07:01.78
As we have been worshipping
You this morning, Lord,
00:07:01.82\00:07:04.92
in spirit, Lord, now
we want to worship You,
00:07:04.95\00:07:07.29
as you have told us in Your Word
00:07:07.32\00:07:08.66
in spirit and in truth.
00:07:08.69\00:07:11.23
Lord, as we dive deep
into the truth of Your Word,
00:07:11.26\00:07:14.10
may this not just
be another sermon,
00:07:14.13\00:07:16.06
may it not just
be another message,
00:07:16.10\00:07:18.00
may it not just be
scriptures of texts
00:07:18.03\00:07:19.83
that we read from the Bible,
00:07:19.87\00:07:21.40
but may it penetrate
our hearts and minds.
00:07:21.44\00:07:24.07
May we walk away from today
blessed, renewed, revitalized,
00:07:24.11\00:07:28.41
restored, and may You set
us on a path of righteousness,
00:07:28.44\00:07:32.21
set us on a path of revival,
00:07:32.25\00:07:34.25
spark within us a burning
heart desire to serve You.
00:07:34.28\00:07:38.49
We thank You, Lord, and
we praise You for this Lord
00:07:38.52\00:07:40.32
and I ask again humbly
00:07:40.36\00:07:41.72
that You speak
through me this morning,
00:07:41.76\00:07:43.53
not my own words, hide me Lord,
00:07:43.56\00:07:45.29
get Ryan out of the picture,
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.43
and allow Jesus'
words to come through,
00:07:47.46\00:07:48.96
we ask in Jesus' name, amen.
00:07:49.00\00:07:52.57
I've said this many, many times,
00:07:52.60\00:07:54.54
and I'll say it again
00:07:54.57\00:07:55.90
as I preached this
message this morning.
00:07:55.94\00:07:57.87
I'm preaching this
just as much to myself
00:07:57.91\00:08:00.31
as I am to anyone else in here,
00:08:00.34\00:08:02.24
because this is a message
00:08:02.28\00:08:03.71
that each and every
one of us need to hear.
00:08:03.75\00:08:06.21
This is probably one of
the most important messages
00:08:06.25\00:08:09.18
that a person could hear
today from the Word of God.
00:08:09.22\00:08:11.55
It's kind of a...
00:08:11.59\00:08:13.36
It's a little unconventional,
I guess you could say,
00:08:13.39\00:08:16.73
it's not as, you don't
hear a lot of people do sermons
00:08:16.76\00:08:20.30
or preach sermons or
teach messages on the Daily.
00:08:20.33\00:08:23.87
It's just one of
those things you read about,
00:08:23.90\00:08:25.50
just kind of go past it, right?
00:08:25.53\00:08:27.34
Because you, we
really just don't have,
00:08:27.37\00:08:28.87
for years we haven't
really understood it.
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.41
But I'm going to
teach something today.
00:08:31.44\00:08:33.11
I'm more of a
teacher than I am a preacher.
00:08:33.14\00:08:34.94
I like to
preach, I like to teach,
00:08:34.98\00:08:36.68
but I'm more of a
teacher than I'm a preacher
00:08:36.71\00:08:38.45
and I'm going to be
doing lots of teaching.
00:08:38.48\00:08:39.98
In fact, I'm going to
be going quite fast, okay.
00:08:40.02\00:08:42.92
So get ready to
get your Bibles out.
00:08:42.95\00:08:44.85
You're going to get a
little bit of practice
00:08:44.89\00:08:46.22
this morning finding all
those Bible chapters and verses,
00:08:46.25\00:08:49.39
because we're going to
be going to many places.
00:08:49.42\00:08:50.83
I want to start in
1 John 2:18 and 19.
00:08:50.86\00:08:55.56
We're going to start
here in the Book of 1 John.
00:08:55.60\00:08:57.73
So right there
toward the end of the Bible,
00:08:57.77\00:08:59.20
you have 1, 2, 3
John, the Book of Jude
00:08:59.23\00:09:01.74
and then the Book of Revelation.
00:09:01.77\00:09:03.27
We're going to 1 John Chapter 2.
00:09:03.30\00:09:05.67
And I want to just kind
of set a foundation here
00:09:05.71\00:09:08.01
as we get into
identifying and looking
00:09:08.04\00:09:11.01
at the
significance of this Daily
00:09:11.05\00:09:13.08
and why it's
important for us here
00:09:13.11\00:09:14.82
as present truth
in our time even.
00:09:14.85\00:09:17.92
The title of the
sermon one word, Daily.
00:09:17.95\00:09:21.46
Daily. If you what?
00:09:21.49\00:09:23.02
If you leave today
and you don't remember
00:09:23.06\00:09:24.46
what in the world
this sermon's about,
00:09:24.49\00:09:26.03
you just
remember the word Daily.
00:09:26.06\00:09:28.03
That's what it's about. Okay?
00:09:28.06\00:09:29.56
1 John 2:18 and 19.
00:09:29.60\00:09:32.47
Notice what the Bible says,
00:09:32.50\00:09:33.90
"Little children,
it is the last hour."
00:09:33.94\00:09:36.37
Are we living in the last hour?
00:09:36.40\00:09:38.27
We are living in the last hour.
00:09:38.31\00:09:40.18
The Bible says,
"And as you have heard,
00:09:40.21\00:09:42.14
that the Antichrist is coming,"
00:09:42.18\00:09:46.38
but he goes on to say,
"even now many antichrists,"
00:09:46.41\00:09:50.82
plural, are in the
world or "have come
00:09:50.85\00:09:55.32
by which we know
that it is the last hour."
00:09:55.36\00:09:59.59
Speaking of this
Antichrist in verse 19.
00:09:59.63\00:10:02.03
He says, they,
again, there's the plural,
00:10:02.06\00:10:05.17
went out from, from us.
00:10:05.20\00:10:08.94
Who's us?
00:10:08.97\00:10:12.81
This is it.
00:10:12.84\00:10:14.18
This is where we get deep.
00:10:14.21\00:10:16.78
They, John speaking
of the church, he says,
00:10:16.81\00:10:20.35
"They," the Antichrist,
"went out from us," the church,
00:10:20.38\00:10:24.12
but then he
clarifies, notice, he says,
00:10:24.15\00:10:26.32
"but", and I
praise God for that but.
00:10:26.35\00:10:28.62
He says, "but
they were not of us,
00:10:28.66\00:10:31.73
for if they had been of us,
00:10:31.76\00:10:33.56
they would have
continued with us,
00:10:33.60\00:10:35.56
but they went out
00:10:35.60\00:10:36.93
that they might be made manifest
00:10:36.97\00:10:39.43
that none of them were of us."
00:10:39.47\00:10:41.87
So what we're simply saying here
00:10:41.90\00:10:43.84
through these couple of verses,
00:10:43.87\00:10:45.31
to set the foundation
for what we're about to see,
00:10:45.34\00:10:47.91
as John is saying, "Look,
I'm speaking to the church.
00:10:47.94\00:10:50.91
I'm talking to you folk here."
00:10:50.95\00:10:52.61
He's saying, "Hey look,
00:10:52.65\00:10:53.98
you have heard that
an Antichrist is coming."
00:10:54.02\00:10:56.79
He says, "But I'm telling you
that many Antichrists, plural,
00:10:56.82\00:10:59.89
many of them are
already in the world,
00:10:59.92\00:11:02.69
they have come."
00:11:02.72\00:11:04.06
They were working in his
day nearly 2,000 years ago.
00:11:04.09\00:11:08.20
But you're in 1 John Chapter 2,
00:11:08.23\00:11:10.10
we just read verses 18 and 19.
00:11:10.13\00:11:11.77
I want you to
skip down to verse 26.
00:11:11.80\00:11:14.67
Still on the same theme
00:11:14.70\00:11:16.37
talking about
this Antichrist spirit.
00:11:16.40\00:11:19.14
Notice what he says here.
00:11:19.17\00:11:20.68
He says, "These
things I have written to you
00:11:20.71\00:11:23.41
concerning those
who try to," what?
00:11:23.45\00:11:26.82
"Deceive you."
00:11:26.85\00:11:28.68
Are we living in a world today
00:11:28.72\00:11:30.05
where there's lots of deception?
00:11:30.09\00:11:32.22
My friends,
probably the biggest plague,
00:11:32.25\00:11:34.79
there's going to
be lots of plagues
00:11:34.82\00:11:36.16
in the last days.
00:11:36.19\00:11:37.53
We know that we
have seven of them
00:11:37.56\00:11:38.89
mentioned in
Revelation Chapter 16.
00:11:38.93\00:11:41.46
But probably the greatest plague
00:11:41.50\00:11:43.47
behind all plagues,
00:11:43.50\00:11:45.00
okay, is definitely
a spirit of deception.
00:11:45.03\00:11:49.67
It is among us, it is
working among even God's people,
00:11:49.70\00:11:53.54
God's Church.
00:11:53.58\00:11:55.14
Now you're in 1 John,
skip over to 2 John Chapter 2.
00:11:55.18\00:11:57.85
Okay, you're
right there in 1 John,
00:11:57.88\00:11:59.45
just skip over to the
second epistle of John there.
00:11:59.48\00:12:01.92
2 John Chapter 2,
00:12:01.95\00:12:03.28
we're going to be
reading verses 7 and 8.
00:12:03.32\00:12:05.15
Again, notice the common theme.
00:12:05.19\00:12:06.89
Notice another
word that comes up here
00:12:06.92\00:12:08.72
that we just read.
00:12:08.76\00:12:10.46
2 John 2:7 and 8.
00:12:10.49\00:12:12.53
The Bible says, "For many,"
what's that next word there?
00:12:12.56\00:12:15.80
"Deceivers have
gone out into the world
00:12:15.83\00:12:18.83
who do not confess Jesus
Christ as coming in the flesh."
00:12:18.87\00:12:22.20
And then here it is, again,
00:12:22.24\00:12:23.57
"this is a deceiver
00:12:23.61\00:12:26.88
and an antichrist.
00:12:26.91\00:12:29.51
Look to yourselves,
00:12:29.54\00:12:31.81
that we do not lose those things
00:12:31.85\00:12:34.08
for which we worked," right?
00:12:34.12\00:12:36.12
"But that we may
receive a full reward."
00:12:36.15\00:12:39.49
Now we find this common theme
all the way through the Bible,
00:12:39.52\00:12:43.02
but more specifically,
the New Testament scriptures.
00:12:43.06\00:12:45.99
All the gospels that Jesus,
00:12:46.03\00:12:48.73
obviously the
story of Christ's life,
00:12:48.76\00:12:50.37
Jesus Himself
saying, "Let no man."
00:12:50.40\00:12:52.07
Matthew 24, Luke 17,
Mark 13, He's letting us know,
00:12:52.10\00:12:55.77
"Do not let any man deceive
you by any means," right?
00:12:55.80\00:12:58.74
Let no one
deceive you by any means.
00:12:58.77\00:13:00.74
We also see Paul.
00:13:00.78\00:13:02.11
In fact, I'm going to have you
00:13:02.14\00:13:03.48
to jump over to 2
Thessalonians right now.
00:13:03.51\00:13:05.18
2 Thessalonians Chapter 2.
00:13:05.21\00:13:07.22
Paul also echoes
this same message.
00:13:07.25\00:13:09.42
We see John, right before
the closing books of Scripture,
00:13:09.45\00:13:13.86
right before this
great Revelation book
00:13:13.89\00:13:16.02
that we are going to read
00:13:16.06\00:13:17.39
about the final
events of Bible prophecy.
00:13:17.43\00:13:19.23
John is warning us.
00:13:19.26\00:13:20.60
He's saying, "I'm writing to you
00:13:20.63\00:13:21.96
concerning those who
tried to deceive you.
00:13:22.00\00:13:23.83
There was a spirit of Antichrist
00:13:23.87\00:13:25.93
among the church."
00:13:25.97\00:13:27.30
See, many times when
we think of Antichrist,
00:13:27.34\00:13:29.60
we think of
Roman Catholic Church.
00:13:29.64\00:13:32.17
And we don't want to...
00:13:32.21\00:13:33.54
Let me be very
clear this morning.
00:13:33.58\00:13:35.68
The Antichrist to Bible prophecy
00:13:35.71\00:13:37.91
is indeed the Roman
papal church state system.
00:13:37.95\00:13:40.95
We don't want to
miss that at all.
00:13:40.98\00:13:42.78
And we certainly
don't want to miss the fact
00:13:42.82\00:13:44.22
that a leading Antichrist figure
00:13:44.25\00:13:46.25
which we're about to read
00:13:46.29\00:13:47.62
about in 2
Thessalonians Chapter 2
00:13:47.66\00:13:49.39
is none other than the
leader of this papal system,
00:13:49.42\00:13:52.26
the pope himself,
the office of the pope,
00:13:52.29\00:13:54.93
but there is
something in the Bible
00:13:54.96\00:13:56.53
that is called the
spirit of Antichrist.
00:13:56.56\00:13:59.37
It's a spirit of deception
00:13:59.40\00:14:01.50
and make this
very clear, my friends,
00:14:01.54\00:14:03.97
this spirit of
deception is everywhere,
00:14:04.01\00:14:09.04
even among God's
people in His church.
00:14:09.08\00:14:12.11
Notice John...
00:14:12.15\00:14:13.48
Notice 2
Thessalonians 2:3 and 4,
00:14:13.52\00:14:15.88
how we're going to
start with verse 3.
00:14:15.92\00:14:17.25
How does John, oh,
excuse me, Paul open this up?
00:14:17.29\00:14:19.65
He says, "Let no one," what?
00:14:19.69\00:14:22.02
"Let no one deceive you
by any means, for that day,"
00:14:22.06\00:14:26.09
which day?
00:14:26.13\00:14:28.20
If you read the context
00:14:28.23\00:14:30.10
and the themes of 1
and 2 Thessalonians,
00:14:30.13\00:14:32.57
you know that Paul often speaks
of the second coming of Jesus.
00:14:32.60\00:14:36.24
And when he says,
"that day will not come
00:14:36.27\00:14:39.41
unless the
falling away comes first."
00:14:39.44\00:14:41.31
He's speaking of the
second coming of Jesus.
00:14:41.34\00:14:43.51
In other words, he's
speaking prophetically here.
00:14:43.55\00:14:45.68
He's saying prior to
the second coming of Jesus
00:14:45.71\00:14:48.88
in the final days of
this earth's history.
00:14:48.92\00:14:51.52
Notice what he says here.
00:14:51.55\00:14:52.95
He says there will
be a great falling away.
00:14:52.99\00:14:57.63
Now who is Paul's audience here?
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.50
Who is he writing to here?
00:15:03.70\00:15:07.80
Now I want to be very clear,
00:15:07.84\00:15:09.17
we want to make this clear also,
00:15:09.20\00:15:10.54
though all of the
Bible is for everyone, right?
00:15:10.57\00:15:12.81
So we know these
first and second letters
00:15:12.84\00:15:15.08
of to Thessalonica,
00:15:15.11\00:15:16.81
of course, is for
everyone today, even us.
00:15:16.85\00:15:19.11
But Paul's intended audience
for this particular letters
00:15:19.15\00:15:22.48
was to the
church at Thessalonica.
00:15:22.52\00:15:25.95
So it's interesting
that he's warning, he said,
00:15:25.99\00:15:27.72
let no one deceive you
by any means for that day.
00:15:27.76\00:15:29.69
The second coming will not come
00:15:29.72\00:15:31.19
unless the
falling away comes first.
00:15:31.23\00:15:32.89
And it's interesting
00:15:32.93\00:15:34.26
that when you look
into the original Greek
00:15:34.30\00:15:35.90
at this term falling away,
and he's warning the church,
00:15:35.93\00:15:39.23
he says there's going
to be a great falling away.
00:15:39.27\00:15:41.60
It's the Greek word,
00:15:41.64\00:15:42.97
tell me if you've
heard this before, apostasia.
00:15:43.00\00:15:47.08
Apostasia.
00:15:47.11\00:15:49.54
Apostasy, right?
00:15:49.58\00:15:51.38
And what's interesting
00:15:51.41\00:15:52.75
is when you look up
the meaning of this word
00:15:52.78\00:15:54.52
in the original Greek
00:15:54.55\00:15:55.88
and what Paul
intended to communicate,
00:15:55.92\00:15:57.92
the word in the Greek apostasia
00:15:57.95\00:15:59.85
means to defect from truth,
00:15:59.89\00:16:04.66
or to turn away from truth.
00:16:04.69\00:16:07.66
Get this, to divorce,
00:16:07.70\00:16:13.54
to divorce.
00:16:13.57\00:16:15.74
In other words,
00:16:15.77\00:16:17.11
what he's trying to say
is he's warning the church,
00:16:17.14\00:16:19.07
he's saying, God
has already showed me
00:16:19.11\00:16:21.21
that prior to the
second coming of Jesus,
00:16:21.24\00:16:23.45
there's going to
be a certain spirit
00:16:23.48\00:16:27.22
to creep into the church
00:16:27.25\00:16:29.78
and cause people to
turn away from the truth
00:16:29.82\00:16:34.32
and cause them to divorce
themselves from Jesus Christ,
00:16:34.36\00:16:40.30
all the while
deceived into believing
00:16:40.33\00:16:43.13
that they're
still married to Him.
00:16:43.16\00:16:45.50
Now can you marry someone
00:16:45.53\00:16:47.27
whom you were not all or
could you, can you divorce.
00:16:47.30\00:16:49.87
Excuse me, let me set it,
00:16:49.90\00:16:51.24
can you divorce
yourself from someone
00:16:51.27\00:16:52.87
whom you were not married to?
00:16:52.91\00:16:55.31
In other words,
if I have, you know,
00:16:55.34\00:16:56.68
someone has a
boyfriend or a girlfriend
00:16:56.71\00:16:58.65
and they come to a
point in the relationship
00:16:58.68\00:17:00.02
where they figured out
it's not going to work,
00:17:00.05\00:17:01.52
one can't say to the
boyfriend or to the girlfriend,
00:17:01.55\00:17:03.89
I want a divorce, right?
00:17:03.92\00:17:05.75
There's not
enough, there's not already
00:17:05.79\00:17:07.26
a prior favorable
marriage there, right?
00:17:07.29\00:17:09.59
They have to be married,
00:17:09.62\00:17:10.96
there has to be a bond
and a vow of marriage there.
00:17:10.99\00:17:13.09
It's interesting
to note, my friends,
00:17:13.13\00:17:14.53
many people out there
today they believe this,
00:17:14.56\00:17:16.30
"once saved,
always saved" theology,
00:17:16.33\00:17:18.17
this concept that you know what?
00:17:18.20\00:17:19.80
We can just do
whatever we want to live,
00:17:19.83\00:17:21.17
however we want,
00:17:21.20\00:17:22.54
because somewhere
back in 19 whatever,
00:17:22.57\00:17:23.91
when I went down the
aisle is just as I am,
00:17:23.94\00:17:26.01
was playing in the background.
00:17:26.04\00:17:27.38
And I said a prayer
after another minister
00:17:27.41\00:17:29.64
led me through a prayer
and I gave my heart to Jesus,
00:17:29.68\00:17:31.58
I was forever saved.
00:17:31.61\00:17:33.08
And there's no
one that can plug me
00:17:33.11\00:17:34.45
from the hands of God.
00:17:34.48\00:17:35.82
And they continue to
believe this destructive,
00:17:35.85\00:17:38.85
horrible theology
00:17:38.89\00:17:40.49
that once they were
saved back then in one moment
00:17:40.52\00:17:43.02
means they're forever saved.
00:17:43.06\00:17:44.69
In other words, they can't
fall out of the hands of God.
00:17:44.73\00:17:46.43
But this is prime,
00:17:46.46\00:17:47.80
this is a prime
example that it is possible.
00:17:47.83\00:17:49.93
It is possible
for someone to believe
00:17:49.96\00:17:52.53
that they have a
relationship with the Lord
00:17:52.57\00:17:53.90
and you know what?
00:17:53.94\00:17:55.27
They might have a
relationship with God,
00:17:55.30\00:17:56.64
but don't think for
one moment, my friends,
00:17:56.67\00:17:58.01
that you cannot
slip or fall away.
00:17:58.04\00:18:01.61
That's what's Paul
is warning of here.
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.31
He's saying,
"Look, I'm telling you,
00:18:03.35\00:18:04.68
God has shown me prophetically,
00:18:04.71\00:18:06.35
this is going to
happen before Jesus comes.
00:18:06.38\00:18:08.08
There's going to be
people in the church,
00:18:08.12\00:18:09.72
they're going to
fall away from the truth.
00:18:09.75\00:18:11.35
They're going to divorce
themselves from the truth."
00:18:11.39\00:18:14.22
What did Jesus call Himself?
00:18:14.26\00:18:15.59
I am the way, the
truth and the life.
00:18:15.62\00:18:17.46
He says,
00:18:17.49\00:18:18.83
they're going to
divorce themselves from Jesus,
00:18:18.86\00:18:20.50
all the while completely
deceived into believing
00:18:20.53\00:18:22.90
that they're
still married to Him.
00:18:22.93\00:18:24.47
Have you ever met someone
00:18:24.50\00:18:25.83
who believes
they know the truth,
00:18:25.87\00:18:27.20
but yet when they
talk and they speak
00:18:27.24\00:18:28.57
and their lifestyle,
00:18:28.60\00:18:29.94
it does not represent
something of the truth?
00:18:29.97\00:18:32.21
Have you ever talked to someone
who believes 100% in something,
00:18:32.24\00:18:35.34
but you know they're wrong?
00:18:35.38\00:18:36.85
Because evidence,
00:18:36.88\00:18:38.21
biblical evidence
clearly shows otherwise.
00:18:38.25\00:18:40.78
That's a deceived
person and I heard,
00:18:40.82\00:18:42.18
once heard someone
say, it was a minister.
00:18:42.22\00:18:43.79
I think it might
have been David Asscherick
00:18:43.82\00:18:45.15
or someone who had said
00:18:45.19\00:18:46.62
that the very
essence of deception
00:18:46.65\00:18:49.62
is that you are
unaware that you are deceived.
00:18:49.66\00:18:52.93
But there is a
cure for deception.
00:18:52.96\00:18:56.46
Notice how he says,
00:18:56.50\00:18:57.83
"The great falling
away will come first,
00:18:57.87\00:18:59.90
and then the man
of sin is revealed,
00:18:59.93\00:19:01.60
the son of perdition."
00:19:01.64\00:19:03.57
Now he's speaking
00:19:03.61\00:19:04.94
of that leading
Antichrist figure,
00:19:04.97\00:19:07.14
"Who opposes and
exalts himself above all
00:19:07.18\00:19:09.14
that is called God
or that is worshiped,
00:19:09.18\00:19:10.88
so that he as God
sits in the temple of God,
00:19:10.91\00:19:14.48
showing himself that he is God."
00:19:14.52\00:19:17.35
Son of perdition, man of sin.
00:19:22.22\00:19:24.96
You know, it's interesting
00:19:24.99\00:19:26.33
when you do a word
search in Scripture,
00:19:26.36\00:19:28.56
there's only one other place
00:19:28.60\00:19:30.17
where that phrase or that title,
00:19:30.20\00:19:32.13
son of perdition is mentioned.
00:19:32.17\00:19:34.64
In other words, it's
only in the Bible twice.
00:19:34.67\00:19:38.27
And it's used to
describe two different people.
00:19:38.31\00:19:42.74
One we just read
about the Antichrist
00:19:42.78\00:19:45.51
of Bible prophecy,
00:19:45.55\00:19:47.18
that leading Antichrist figure
00:19:47.22\00:19:49.62
who believes that
he is equal with God.
00:19:49.65\00:19:51.55
In fact, in moments
he's even above God.
00:19:51.59\00:19:54.09
He exhausted himself
00:19:54.12\00:19:55.46
so that he has got
00:19:55.49\00:19:56.83
a
substitutionary figure for God,
00:19:56.86\00:19:59.26
sits in the
temple as if he is God.
00:19:59.29\00:20:01.86
But the other place is
found in John Chapter 17.
00:20:01.90\00:20:05.47
Jesus is praying in
the Garden of Gethsemane,
00:20:05.50\00:20:08.47
moments away
from being arrested,
00:20:08.50\00:20:10.67
taken to trial
00:20:10.71\00:20:12.07
in which He will
eventually be led away
00:20:12.11\00:20:14.51
to be nailed to a cross.
00:20:14.54\00:20:16.41
But while He's in the Garden
of Gethsemane, He's praying,
00:20:16.44\00:20:19.11
and He's given His heart,
00:20:19.15\00:20:20.48
just sharing His
heart with His Father,
00:20:20.52\00:20:22.48
and He's praying out
00:20:22.52\00:20:23.85
and He's asking the Lord
to keep His people protected,
00:20:23.89\00:20:26.42
keep His faithful few protected.
00:20:26.45\00:20:28.46
But notice what He says
here in verse 12, John 17:12,
00:20:28.49\00:20:31.49
He says, "While I was
with them in the world,"
00:20:31.53\00:20:33.63
speaking of the
disciples, He says,
00:20:33.66\00:20:35.43
"I kept them in Your name.
00:20:35.46\00:20:38.83
Those whom You
gave Me I have kept,
00:20:38.87\00:20:42.70
and none of them is lost
except the son of perdition,"
00:20:42.74\00:20:47.58
there it is,
00:20:47.61\00:20:48.94
"that the
Scriptures might be fulfilled."
00:20:48.98\00:20:50.31
Who is Jesus talking about?
00:20:50.35\00:20:51.68
Who among His 12 was...
00:20:54.65\00:20:57.32
Okay, Judas Iscariot, right?
00:20:57.35\00:20:59.09
Of all the 12 that were, one,
00:20:59.12\00:21:00.82
there was only one that
was lost, Judas Iscariot.
00:21:00.86\00:21:03.79
Now, here's what's interesting.
00:21:03.83\00:21:05.69
Son of
perdition, Judas Iscariot,
00:21:05.73\00:21:08.46
son of perdition,
Antichrist of Bible prophecy.
00:21:08.50\00:21:12.40
What do the two have in common?
00:21:12.43\00:21:13.87
What?
00:21:18.67\00:21:20.01
Did you heard
what Brother Mark said?
00:21:23.51\00:21:26.31
Was Jesus from, did
was, excuse me, was Judas,
00:21:26.35\00:21:29.92
did Judas persecute Jesus?
00:21:29.95\00:21:33.46
Did Judas betrayed Jesus
00:21:33.49\00:21:36.86
and deceive the others
from outside the inner circle
00:21:36.89\00:21:41.03
or from within the inner circle?
00:21:41.06\00:21:44.73
And when you get over here
to 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2,
00:21:44.77\00:21:47.07
where we read
about this man of sin,
00:21:47.10\00:21:48.44
this son of perdition
00:21:48.47\00:21:49.80
and you do a deep
study in Scripture
00:21:49.84\00:21:51.24
on this leading Antichrist
figure of Bible prophecy,
00:21:51.27\00:21:53.98
the world is
deceived into believing
00:21:54.01\00:21:55.44
that it's going to be
some type of evil, political,
00:21:55.48\00:21:58.58
single political
individual at the end time,
00:21:58.61\00:22:00.68
who is going to rise up
00:22:00.72\00:22:02.05
take over the United
Nations and the one world order,
00:22:02.08\00:22:04.12
this one world
government and all this stuff.
00:22:04.15\00:22:05.55
And I'm not denying
00:22:05.59\00:22:06.92
that some of those
things can definitely happen.
00:22:06.96\00:22:08.29
But nonetheless,
00:22:08.32\00:22:09.66
everyone's looking
toward the White House
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.26
for the Antichrist to show up.
00:22:12.29\00:22:14.36
I remember back
when Obama was in office,
00:22:14.40\00:22:16.87
I would go out and I
would do evangelistic series.
00:22:16.90\00:22:18.70
And I hear all kinds of people,
00:22:18.73\00:22:20.34
you know, I'd give them
an opportunity to tell me
00:22:20.37\00:22:22.17
after when we were
doing our antichrist study,
00:22:22.20\00:22:24.51
I would give them an opportunity
00:22:24.54\00:22:25.87
to scream out from the crowd
00:22:25.91\00:22:28.24
to tell me who they
thought the Antichrist was,
00:22:28.28\00:22:30.31
and I'll never forget
the majority of the people,
00:22:30.35\00:22:32.18
Obama, you know.
00:22:32.21\00:22:34.32
And now there's
people that's like, Trump,
00:22:34.35\00:22:36.18
Trump's the Antichrist,
and then you got the opposite.
00:22:36.22\00:22:37.82
The others are saying,
"Oh, no he's a man of God,
00:22:37.85\00:22:40.26
he's going to save the nation."
00:22:40.29\00:22:42.46
You know, all these things.
00:22:42.49\00:22:43.83
We look to political
figures to save us, right?
00:22:43.86\00:22:47.56
But guess what?
00:22:47.60\00:22:48.93
The thing that these two
individuals have in common
00:22:48.96\00:22:50.83
Judas Iscariot
and the Antichrist
00:22:50.87\00:22:53.67
is that they will
deceive the world, right?
00:22:53.70\00:22:55.74
They're going to deceive,
00:22:55.77\00:22:57.41
but they deceive not
from outside the church,
00:22:57.44\00:23:01.21
but from within.
00:23:01.24\00:23:02.58
Acts Chapter 20.
00:23:07.98\00:23:10.79
You say, Ryan, yeah,
00:23:10.82\00:23:12.62
there's been a lot of
deception in the church,
00:23:12.65\00:23:17.53
but not in the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:23:17.56\00:23:21.50
Well, surely,
00:23:21.53\00:23:22.86
the devil has
no power to deceive
00:23:22.90\00:23:25.33
within the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:23:25.37\00:23:28.27
because we're
the remnant, right?
00:23:28.30\00:23:32.04
Acts Chapter 20.
00:23:32.07\00:23:33.41
Notice verses 28 through 31.
00:23:33.44\00:23:35.44
This is Paul speaking
to the church at Ephesus.
00:23:35.48\00:23:38.78
This was the church
00:23:38.81\00:23:40.15
that he spent
the most time with.
00:23:40.18\00:23:43.42
Notice what he said,
00:23:43.45\00:23:45.72
speaking to the leadership
of the church, he said,
00:23:45.75\00:23:48.32
"Take heed to
yourselves and to all the flock,
00:23:48.36\00:23:52.53
among which the Holy
Spirit has made you overseers,
00:23:52.56\00:23:58.47
to shepherd the church of God
00:23:58.50\00:24:00.87
which He purchased
with His own blood.
00:24:00.90\00:24:04.21
For I know this," notice this,
00:24:04.24\00:24:06.04
he's about to speak
prophetically again,
00:24:06.07\00:24:07.94
"for I know this
that after my departure
00:24:07.98\00:24:09.88
savage wolves
will come in among you,
00:24:09.91\00:24:11.68
not sparing the flock."
00:24:11.71\00:24:15.05
Also, don't get this.
00:24:15.08\00:24:16.42
Also from outside of the church,
00:24:16.45\00:24:19.32
is that what it says?
00:24:19.35\00:24:20.99
Also from outside of the church,
00:24:21.02\00:24:24.26
what does it say?
00:24:24.29\00:24:25.63
It says, "Also
from among yourselves,
00:24:25.66\00:24:29.20
men will rise up,
speaking perverse things,
00:24:29.23\00:24:31.50
to draw away the
disciples after themselves.
00:24:31.53\00:24:34.50
Therefore, watch and
remember that for three years
00:24:34.54\00:24:37.64
I did not cease to warn everyone
00:24:37.67\00:24:40.28
night and day with tears."
00:24:40.31\00:24:43.41
Cry aloud, spare
not, lift up the trumpet,
00:24:43.45\00:24:47.82
show my people their sins.
00:24:47.85\00:24:49.38
No, Brother Ryan, don't do that.
00:24:49.42\00:24:51.59
Don't tell us and preach
to us about victory over sin.
00:24:51.62\00:24:54.42
We want you to
preach something to us
00:24:54.46\00:24:55.92
that makes us feel good.
00:24:55.96\00:24:58.53
You see, I don't do
good with feel good sermons.
00:24:58.56\00:25:02.43
Now I understand, I
believe that every hope,
00:25:02.46\00:25:03.93
every sermon should have hope,
00:25:03.97\00:25:06.47
because there's
hope in the Bible.
00:25:06.50\00:25:08.24
Jesus brings hope.
00:25:08.27\00:25:09.60
The truth brings hope.
00:25:09.64\00:25:10.97
The Bible says the truth
shall make you free, okay?
00:25:11.01\00:25:14.24
That's a beautiful thing.
00:25:14.28\00:25:15.61
But I don't do good
with feel good sermons.
00:25:15.64\00:25:18.11
Because when we come to church
00:25:18.15\00:25:19.91
expecting to feel
good about ourselves,
00:25:19.95\00:25:22.88
then we are setting
ourselves up for deception.
00:25:22.92\00:25:25.45
Now, I'm not talking
00:25:25.49\00:25:26.82
about not having an
assurance of salvation,
00:25:26.86\00:25:28.46
we can have an
assurance of salvation,
00:25:28.49\00:25:30.49
we should have an assurance
00:25:30.53\00:25:31.89
that we indeed have a
relationship with Jesus,
00:25:31.93\00:25:34.23
but don't ever come to
the point my friends were,
00:25:34.26\00:25:36.23
"Oh, I don't want
to hear that truth.
00:25:36.26\00:25:37.67
That's too hard to
hear, because it pierces me,
00:25:37.70\00:25:42.54
it shows me
where I need to grow."
00:25:42.57\00:25:45.17
You see, if I come
to a person's sermon,
00:25:45.21\00:25:47.21
and I'm listening to a sermon,
and it doesn't prick my heart,
00:25:47.24\00:25:50.58
it doesn't stir within
me a spirit of revival,
00:25:50.61\00:25:55.08
then that sermon has
not served its purpose.
00:25:55.12\00:25:58.55
When Jesus preached,
He preached with love.
00:25:58.59\00:26:01.89
When He preached,
He preached with power,
00:26:01.92\00:26:04.33
with boldness.
00:26:04.36\00:26:05.89
He did give hope, He did.
00:26:05.93\00:26:08.70
He brought
hope, He brought love,
00:26:08.73\00:26:10.63
He brought joy.
00:26:10.67\00:26:12.00
But don't think for one moment
00:26:12.03\00:26:13.77
that much of the
sermons that Jesus delivered
00:26:13.80\00:26:16.34
also brought division
00:26:16.37\00:26:19.71
because men's
hearts were failing them,
00:26:19.74\00:26:23.08
and He was calling
them to repentance.
00:26:23.11\00:26:25.78
You see, I believe
that a spirit of Antichrist
00:26:31.02\00:26:35.32
has been at work
among us for many years.
00:26:35.36\00:26:39.73
And I know this,
00:26:39.76\00:26:41.10
because Jesus
hasn't come back yet.
00:26:41.13\00:26:44.77
I would like for
you to turn with me now
00:26:44.80\00:26:46.20
to Daniel Chapter 8.
00:26:46.23\00:26:47.57
And I would like to focus
in on a very important aspect
00:26:47.60\00:26:51.87
of the Christian experience
00:26:51.91\00:26:54.91
that many people
have been deceived about
00:26:54.94\00:26:58.21
or simply the
truth has been withheld.
00:26:58.25\00:27:01.58
And we do not comprehend
the importance of this
00:27:01.62\00:27:03.82
in our daily lives.
00:27:03.85\00:27:05.19
Again, what's the
title of the sermon?
00:27:05.22\00:27:07.09
Daily, say that with
me, the title of the sermon?
00:27:07.12\00:27:09.42
Daily, Daily.
00:27:09.46\00:27:10.79
We're going to talk about Daily.
00:27:10.83\00:27:12.16
What about Daily?
00:27:12.19\00:27:13.53
Daily what?
00:27:13.56\00:27:14.90
We're going to talk about that.
00:27:14.93\00:27:16.26
Daniel Chapter 8,
now, it's interesting
00:27:16.30\00:27:17.63
that I started out
talking about this,
00:27:17.67\00:27:19.33
this Antichrist power
00:27:19.37\00:27:20.70
because what we're about to read
00:27:20.74\00:27:22.07
about in Bible prophecy
00:27:22.10\00:27:23.44
is this little
horn Antichrist figure.
00:27:23.47\00:27:26.57
And we know that
in Daniel 8:10-14,
00:27:26.61\00:27:29.71
notice what the Bible says,
00:27:29.74\00:27:31.08
speaking of this
little horn power,
00:27:31.11\00:27:33.52
this Antichrist power, it says,
00:27:33.55\00:27:35.75
"And it," that little horn,
"grew up to the host of heaven,
00:27:35.78\00:27:39.89
and it cast
down some of the host
00:27:39.92\00:27:41.52
and some of the
stars to the ground,
00:27:41.56\00:27:43.19
and trampled upon them.
00:27:43.22\00:27:46.46
He even exalted himself
00:27:46.49\00:27:48.33
as high as the
Prince of the host."
00:27:48.36\00:27:51.10
Now I'm going to
continue reading through this,
00:27:51.13\00:27:52.47
you tell me,
there's a couple of words
00:27:52.50\00:27:53.94
that appear here
more than any other.
00:27:53.97\00:27:56.07
And after I read through it,
00:27:56.10\00:27:57.44
I want you to tell me
what those two words are.
00:27:57.47\00:27:59.51
"Even as high as
the Prince of the host,
00:27:59.54\00:28:01.14
and by him the daily
sacrifices were taken away,
00:28:01.18\00:28:05.55
and the place of His
sanctuary was cast down.
00:28:05.58\00:28:08.88
Because of transgression,
00:28:08.92\00:28:10.25
an army was given
over to the little horn
00:28:10.29\00:28:12.09
to oppose the daily sacrifices,
00:28:12.12\00:28:15.46
and he cast truth
down to the ground.
00:28:15.49\00:28:17.53
He did all this and prospered.
00:28:17.56\00:28:21.26
Then I heard a
holy one speaking,
00:28:21.30\00:28:22.96
and another holy one
saying to that certain one
00:28:23.00\00:28:25.13
who was speaking, 'How
long will the vision be,
00:28:25.17\00:28:28.00
concerning the daily sacrifices
00:28:28.04\00:28:30.87
and the
transgression of desolation,
00:28:30.91\00:28:33.07
the giving of both the sanctuary
00:28:33.11\00:28:35.34
and the host to be
trampled underfoot?'
00:28:35.38\00:28:38.25
And he said to me,
00:28:38.28\00:28:39.61
'For two thousand
three hundred days,
00:28:39.65\00:28:41.28
then the sanctuary
shall be cleansed.'"
00:28:41.32\00:28:46.32
What couple of
words there do you see
00:28:46.35\00:28:48.56
that appears
more than any of them?
00:28:48.59\00:28:52.39
The two words there
actually there in the original
00:28:52.43\00:28:55.30
that are there more than
any is Daily and Sanctuary.
00:28:55.33\00:28:58.17
Now some might say sacrifices,
00:28:58.20\00:28:59.93
but you'll notice in Scripture,
00:28:59.97\00:29:01.84
is the word sacrifice is
italicized in your Bible?
00:29:01.87\00:29:06.57
That indicates that it's
not in the original manuscripts
00:29:06.61\00:29:09.88
that this was pulled
from and from the Hebrew.
00:29:09.91\00:29:14.78
So when you read it,
00:29:14.82\00:29:16.18
you should read it that it says,
00:29:16.22\00:29:17.55
and by him the
Daily was taken away.
00:29:17.59\00:29:21.52
That the little horn
thought to oppose the Daily.
00:29:21.56\00:29:26.19
And it says, how
long would the vision
00:29:26.23\00:29:27.56
be concerning the Daily?
00:29:27.60\00:29:29.93
That's the way it reads
in the original, the day,
00:29:29.96\00:29:31.90
the Daily what?
00:29:31.93\00:29:35.20
Notice that this little horn,
00:29:35.24\00:29:36.97
notice this is in the context
of the 2,300 year prophecy.
00:29:37.01\00:29:40.81
And what happens at the
end of the 2,300 year prophecy?
00:29:40.84\00:29:44.85
Does anyone remember?
00:29:44.88\00:29:46.48
The sanctuary shall be,
00:29:46.51\00:29:49.02
that's the time
00:29:49.05\00:29:50.52
that marks the beginning
of the end and judgment,
00:29:50.55\00:29:55.12
the final judgment hour, right?
00:29:55.16\00:29:58.79
And the devil knows,
get this, the devil knows,
00:29:58.83\00:30:03.83
that if God's people arrive
at the end of this 2,300 years,
00:30:03.87\00:30:08.37
and they fully comprehend
the importance of this Daily,
00:30:08.40\00:30:13.41
they're going to be
prepared for what is to come
00:30:13.44\00:30:16.71
to be prepared for the
second coming of Jesus.
00:30:16.75\00:30:19.45
So he starts attacking.
00:30:19.48\00:30:20.82
Notice again, what is he doing?
00:30:20.85\00:30:22.38
He exalts himself as high
as the Prince of the host.
00:30:22.42\00:30:24.52
He thinks he's equal with Jesus.
00:30:24.55\00:30:26.45
He wants to be Jesus.
00:30:26.49\00:30:27.82
He wants to be a
substitutionary figure
00:30:27.86\00:30:30.26
for Jesus.
00:30:30.29\00:30:32.46
And it says in by Him
the Daily is taken away.
00:30:32.49\00:30:35.60
He's attacking the Daily.
00:30:35.63\00:30:37.87
It says in the place of
His sanctuary was cast down.
00:30:37.90\00:30:41.30
This is dealing with
the sanctuary message,
00:30:41.34\00:30:42.97
my friends.
00:30:43.00\00:30:44.34
It says,
"Because of transgression
00:30:44.37\00:30:45.71
an army was given over to him,
00:30:45.74\00:30:47.08
to the little horn
to oppose the Daily."
00:30:47.11\00:30:49.78
Notice how the
devil has risen up
00:30:49.81\00:30:52.28
this little
horn Antichrist power
00:30:52.31\00:30:54.62
to attack the Daily.
00:30:54.65\00:30:56.35
And I know you're
still sitting there
00:30:56.38\00:30:57.72
probably
thinking the Daily what.
00:30:57.75\00:30:59.15
What is this Daily?
00:30:59.19\00:31:00.52
What's so
important about this Daily?
00:31:00.56\00:31:02.12
That's what we're
going to talk about.
00:31:02.16\00:31:03.76
It's not going to
take us long the Daily.
00:31:03.79\00:31:05.66
Now I wanna clear something up.
00:31:05.69\00:31:07.06
There's some people out there
that believe that this Daily,
00:31:07.10\00:31:10.17
it means that it
is, that it is paganism.
00:31:10.20\00:31:14.30
Because there are some books,
00:31:14.34\00:31:16.47
there are some
writings out there
00:31:16.50\00:31:17.87
where some have suggested
that Daily means paganism.
00:31:17.91\00:31:21.18
But that wouldn't make any sense
00:31:21.21\00:31:22.54
because this little
horn power is none other than
00:31:22.58\00:31:24.65
the Roman papal
church state power,
00:31:24.68\00:31:26.35
and they're continuing
00:31:26.38\00:31:27.72
the tradition
of paganism, right?
00:31:27.75\00:31:29.68
But it says this little
horn is opposing the Daily.
00:31:29.72\00:31:33.59
So it wouldn't make any sense
for him to oppose paganism,
00:31:33.62\00:31:36.93
because He's all
about some paganism, right?
00:31:36.96\00:31:40.13
So there's
something about this Daily
00:31:40.16\00:31:42.80
that the devil doesn't
want God's people to comprehend.
00:31:42.83\00:31:46.47
Because if they
comprehend the Daily,
00:31:46.50\00:31:49.57
then they might just come
to know Jesus on a daily basis,
00:31:49.60\00:31:53.48
and he can't have that, right?
00:31:53.51\00:31:55.68
What is the Daily?
00:31:55.71\00:31:57.31
Well, it's interesting
00:31:57.35\00:31:58.68
that when you go into
the original Hebrew here,
00:31:58.71\00:32:01.22
the word for Daily is
the Hebrew word, Tamid.
00:32:01.25\00:32:07.16
Tamid.
00:32:07.19\00:32:09.59
And it means
00:32:09.62\00:32:11.53
continual perpetual.
00:32:11.56\00:32:16.36
So if you were to actually,
00:32:16.40\00:32:17.80
this actually could be
translated even better,
00:32:17.83\00:32:21.67
that by him
00:32:21.70\00:32:23.10
the continual is taken away,
00:32:23.14\00:32:29.08
that he's
opposing the perpetual,
00:32:29.11\00:32:32.48
the continual what?
00:32:32.51\00:32:34.05
The perpetual,
the continual what?
00:32:34.08\00:32:35.78
Right?
00:32:35.82\00:32:37.32
But there's
something about this Daily.
00:32:37.35\00:32:38.95
Now, if you know
anything about the sanctuary
00:32:38.99\00:32:40.86
you have to understand this,
00:32:40.89\00:32:42.22
there's two services
in the sanctuary, right?
00:32:42.26\00:32:46.39
There's the daily
00:32:46.43\00:32:50.13
and then there's
what's called the yearly
00:32:50.17\00:32:51.80
or the Day of Atonement,
which is a single day.
00:32:51.83\00:32:55.37
Now the Daily is something
00:32:55.40\00:32:57.44
that was carried out
every single day of the year
00:32:57.47\00:33:01.14
for 359 days of
the Jewish calendar.
00:33:01.18\00:33:06.35
But only on one
single day of the year
00:33:06.38\00:33:08.18
known as the Day of
Atonement, Yom Kippur is where,
00:33:08.22\00:33:12.02
that was the Day of Judgment,
00:33:12.05\00:33:13.56
that was the holiest day of all.
00:33:13.59\00:33:15.59
But understand, my friends,
00:33:15.62\00:33:16.96
this is what we're getting here.
00:33:16.99\00:33:18.33
Don't miss this.
00:33:18.36\00:33:19.76
You can't approach God
on the holiest day of all,
00:33:19.79\00:33:25.40
unless you have
first approached him
00:33:25.43\00:33:27.47
through the Daily.
00:33:27.50\00:33:30.17
All right.
00:33:30.21\00:33:31.54
Now I know I'm
throwing out some terms here
00:33:31.57\00:33:32.91
that some people like, What?
00:33:32.94\00:33:34.28
I'm still confused.
00:33:34.31\00:33:35.64
Hang with me. We're
about to nail this down.
00:33:35.68\00:33:38.21
What is the Daily?
00:33:38.25\00:33:39.58
Now I did a word search.
00:33:39.61\00:33:42.18
I have this Bible
software on my computer
00:33:42.22\00:33:43.99
where I can find
a word in Scripture,
00:33:44.02\00:33:46.05
and I can click on that word
00:33:46.09\00:33:47.49
and it will pop up
00:33:47.52\00:33:48.86
every single
reference in the Scripture
00:33:48.89\00:33:51.99
where that word is used.
00:33:52.03\00:33:55.33
And I wanted to know Lord,
00:33:55.36\00:33:56.70
what are You
trying to communicate?
00:33:56.73\00:33:58.07
What is it about this Daily
that the devil cannot have?
00:33:58.10\00:34:03.61
What is it about this Daily
00:34:03.64\00:34:05.21
that the enemy
seems to be attacking it,
00:34:05.24\00:34:08.31
distorting it,
perverting it, skewing it,
00:34:08.34\00:34:11.38
so that people can't quite
comprehend its significance?
00:34:11.41\00:34:15.92
So I did a little
bit of a word search,
00:34:15.95\00:34:17.29
and I want you
to notice something,
00:34:17.32\00:34:18.65
it's a direct
connection with the sanctuary.
00:34:18.69\00:34:20.66
And I want to show
you a little bit of a...
00:34:20.69\00:34:22.19
I'm going to go
through this fast, okay,
00:34:22.22\00:34:23.56
so you may not even be able to,
00:34:23.59\00:34:25.76
to go with me
to every scripture,
00:34:25.79\00:34:27.13
but that's okay.
00:34:27.16\00:34:28.50
Write them down.
00:34:28.53\00:34:29.86
And this is, sure, it's
going to be made available
00:34:29.90\00:34:31.23
to re-watch over
and over and over.
00:34:31.27\00:34:32.73
So you'll get to see it again,
00:34:32.77\00:34:34.10
and I'll make
the references clear.
00:34:34.14\00:34:36.14
Did you know, get this,
00:34:36.17\00:34:37.87
that the priesthood's
ministry in the holy place
00:34:37.91\00:34:42.08
was in the Bible
00:34:42.11\00:34:43.68
called a
continual ministry, right?
00:34:43.71\00:34:48.05
Notice Exodus 28:29 and 30.
00:34:48.08\00:34:51.52
Exodus 28:29 and 30.
00:34:51.55\00:34:54.22
Notice what the Bible says here.
00:34:54.26\00:34:55.86
"So Aaron shall bear the
names of the sons of Israel
00:34:55.89\00:34:58.49
on the breastplate of
judgment over his heart,
00:34:58.53\00:35:01.13
when he goes
into the holy place,
00:35:01.16\00:35:02.90
as a memorial before
the Lord continually."
00:35:02.93\00:35:07.00
Guess what word
that is in the Hebrew?
00:35:07.04\00:35:08.60
Tamid.
00:35:08.64\00:35:12.11
"And you shall put the
breastplate of the judgment
00:35:12.14\00:35:13.98
of the Urim and the Thummim,
00:35:14.01\00:35:15.34
and they shall be
over Aaron's heart
00:35:15.38\00:35:16.71
when he goes in before the Lord.
00:35:16.75\00:35:18.11
So Aaron shall bear the judgment
00:35:18.15\00:35:19.65
of the children of
Israel over his heart
00:35:19.68\00:35:21.35
before the Lord continually."
00:35:21.38\00:35:24.19
Tamid.
00:35:24.22\00:35:26.29
Did you know that the
altar of burnt sacrifices
00:35:26.32\00:35:29.96
was to be a continual offering?
00:35:29.99\00:35:33.83
Exodus 29:38, 39 and 42.
00:35:33.86\00:35:37.17
Get this, love it.
00:35:37.20\00:35:38.53
It says now when
it was, excuse me,
00:35:38.57\00:35:40.34
"Now this is what you
shall offer on the altar:
00:35:40.37\00:35:43.74
two lambs of the first
year, day by day continually."
00:35:43.77\00:35:49.21
Tamid.
00:35:49.24\00:35:51.75
"One lamb you shall
offer in the morning,
00:35:51.78\00:35:53.78
and the other lamb you
shall offer at twilight."
00:35:53.82\00:35:55.45
I like that, did you get that?
00:35:55.48\00:35:57.19
You shall spend time
with the lamb in the morning
00:35:57.22\00:36:00.76
and at twilight.
00:36:00.79\00:36:02.92
Get that, don't miss that.
00:36:02.96\00:36:04.33
And then verse 42,
00:36:04.36\00:36:05.69
"This shall be a
continual burnt offering
00:36:05.73\00:36:09.50
throughout your generations
00:36:09.53\00:36:10.87
at the door of the tabernacle
of meeting before the Lord,
00:36:10.90\00:36:12.67
where I will meet
you to speak with you."
00:36:12.70\00:36:14.87
It shall be a what?
00:36:14.90\00:36:16.24
A continual, Tamid.
00:36:16.27\00:36:18.84
Same word used in
Daniel 8 to describe the Daily.
00:36:18.87\00:36:21.61
This is powerful.
00:36:21.64\00:36:22.98
Stay with me,
we're getting somewhere.
00:36:23.01\00:36:24.35
Did you know that
the fire on the altar
00:36:24.38\00:36:27.22
was to burn continually.
00:36:27.25\00:36:29.88
Get this, Leviticus 6:12 and 13.
00:36:29.92\00:36:32.92
"And the fire on the altar
shall be kept burning on it,
00:36:32.95\00:36:35.69
it shall not be put out.
00:36:35.72\00:36:37.23
And the priest shall
burn wood on it every morning,
00:36:37.26\00:36:40.00
and lay the burnt
offering in order on it,
00:36:40.03\00:36:42.16
and he shall burn on it the
fat of the peace offerings."
00:36:42.20\00:36:46.10
And notice, "A fire shall"
and it's just interesting,
00:36:46.13\00:36:48.80
the word is, "always
be burning on the altar,
00:36:48.84\00:36:52.44
it shall never go out."
00:36:52.47\00:36:53.81
That word always is Tamid.
00:36:53.84\00:36:58.48
The table of showbread.
00:36:58.51\00:37:01.88
Exodus 25:30.
00:37:01.92\00:37:03.42
"And you shall set
the showbread on the table
00:37:03.45\00:37:06.22
before Me always."
00:37:06.25\00:37:08.79
Tamid.
00:37:08.82\00:37:10.16
Continual,
perpetual, it's ongoing.
00:37:10.19\00:37:14.30
The seven-branched lampstand.
00:37:14.33\00:37:17.07
Here we go, Leviticus 24:1-4.
00:37:17.10\00:37:19.40
It says, "Then the
Lord spoke to Moses,
00:37:19.43\00:37:20.94
saying:" "Command
the children of Israel
00:37:20.97\00:37:22.64
that they burn to you pure oil
00:37:22.67\00:37:25.01
of pressed olives for the light,
00:37:25.04\00:37:27.94
to make the lamps
burn continually."
00:37:27.98\00:37:31.58
Always perpetual.
00:37:31.61\00:37:33.45
"Outside the
veil of the Testimony,
00:37:33.48\00:37:34.88
in the tabernacle of meeting,
00:37:34.92\00:37:36.25
Aaron shall be in charge of
it from evening until morning
00:37:36.28\00:37:38.35
before the Lord continually,
00:37:38.39\00:37:40.76
Tamid, it shall be a statute
forever in your generations.
00:37:40.79\00:37:44.13
He shall be in
charge of the lamps
00:37:44.16\00:37:45.59
on the pure gold lampstand
before the Lord continually."
00:37:45.63\00:37:49.60
Tamid.
00:37:49.63\00:37:51.10
The altar of incense,
00:37:51.13\00:37:53.47
all of this and
you're probably wondering,
00:37:53.50\00:37:55.94
what does it have
to do with anything?
00:37:55.97\00:37:57.31
Oh, just hang with me.
00:37:57.34\00:37:58.67
It's good stuff, man.
00:37:58.71\00:38:00.58
Exodus 30:7 and 8.
00:38:00.61\00:38:02.71
Speaking of the
altar of incense,
00:38:02.74\00:38:04.81
"Aaron shall burn on it
sweet incense every morning,
00:38:04.85\00:38:08.95
when he tends the lamps,
he shall burn incense on it.
00:38:08.98\00:38:11.82
And when Aaron lights
the lamps at twilight,
00:38:11.85\00:38:14.02
he shall burn incense on it,
00:38:14.06\00:38:15.82
a perpetual incense
00:38:15.86\00:38:19.13
before the Lord
throughout your generations."
00:38:19.16\00:38:21.26
Tamid.
00:38:21.30\00:38:22.80
Continual.
00:38:22.83\00:38:26.30
Now what does all this
have to do with the Daily
00:38:26.33\00:38:29.94
and with our lives today?
00:38:29.97\00:38:32.71
You see, the Daily
was everything done
00:38:32.74\00:38:36.51
in the courtyard
00:38:36.54\00:38:37.98
and in the holy
place of the sanctuary.
00:38:38.01\00:38:42.48
Everything that was done there
00:38:42.52\00:38:43.85
and was done on a
daily basis, continually.
00:38:43.89\00:38:48.16
So what does that
mean for us today?
00:38:52.43\00:38:55.26
Because the
sanctuary though here,
00:38:55.30\00:38:57.33
the wilderness sanctuary,
they no longer exists.
00:38:57.37\00:39:03.00
But is there still a sanctuary?
00:39:03.04\00:39:06.94
And do we still
have a high priest?
00:39:06.98\00:39:11.08
Hebrews 7:23-25, get this.
00:39:11.11\00:39:14.48
"Also, there are many priests,"
00:39:14.52\00:39:17.05
speaking of those
priests from back in the day,
00:39:17.09\00:39:19.85
but notice this,
00:39:19.89\00:39:21.22
"because they were prevented
by death from continuing."
00:39:21.26\00:39:25.46
See, they're all dead.
00:39:25.49\00:39:26.83
They can't continue
on in their ministry.
00:39:26.86\00:39:28.93
"But He," who's He?
00:39:28.96\00:39:34.14
Jesus, "because
He continues forever,
00:39:34.17\00:39:39.97
has an unchangeable priesthood.
00:39:40.01\00:39:42.61
Therefore He is also able
to save to the uttermost those
00:39:42.64\00:39:45.28
who come to God through Him,
00:39:45.31\00:39:47.12
since He always lives to
make intercession for them."
00:39:47.15\00:39:49.98
He want now,
00:39:50.02\00:39:51.39
He always lives to
make intercession for them.
00:39:51.42\00:39:55.72
My friends, get this,
00:39:55.76\00:39:57.56
all these
aspects of the sanctuary
00:39:57.59\00:40:00.73
represent different elements
00:40:00.76\00:40:02.70
of the daily saving
ministry of Jesus Christ.
00:40:02.73\00:40:08.54
When they would
sacrifice that lamb
00:40:08.57\00:40:10.47
on the burnt offering,
what did it point forward to?
00:40:10.51\00:40:13.64
It point forward to
Jesus as the Lamb of God
00:40:13.68\00:40:15.61
who takes away
the sin of the world.
00:40:15.64\00:40:17.75
Every time they
would walk past that laver
00:40:17.78\00:40:19.71
and they would dip their hands
00:40:19.75\00:40:21.08
and cleanse their feet
from the blood of that Lamb.
00:40:21.12\00:40:23.39
What did it point forward to?
00:40:23.42\00:40:25.05
It pointed forward to
the working of Jesus Christ
00:40:25.09\00:40:27.89
to cleanse us of our sins.
00:40:27.92\00:40:30.63
When they would walk up
to the table of showbread
00:40:30.66\00:40:32.39
in the holy place,
00:40:32.43\00:40:33.76
and they would
eat of that showbread
00:40:33.80\00:40:35.33
every single day,
what did it represent?
00:40:35.36\00:40:37.60
It pointed
forward to Jesus Christ
00:40:37.63\00:40:39.17
as the bread of life.
00:40:39.20\00:40:41.04
And you know what Jesus said?
00:40:41.07\00:40:42.40
Men shall not
live by bread alone,
00:40:42.44\00:40:44.41
but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God,
00:40:44.44\00:40:48.08
just as Jesus Christ
ate of the bread daily,
00:40:48.11\00:40:51.11
just as the priest
ate of the bread daily,
00:40:51.15\00:40:54.95
we too are to eat of
the bread daily, right?
00:40:54.98\00:40:59.79
Okay, though, every single
day those priests had to walk up
00:40:59.82\00:41:03.22
to that
seven-branched candlestick,
00:41:03.26\00:41:04.59
and they had to make sure
that it was filled full of oil,
00:41:04.63\00:41:08.10
because the fire was
not allowed to go out.
00:41:08.13\00:41:12.80
That represents
the work of Christ
00:41:12.83\00:41:15.50
through the
ministry of the Holy Spirit
00:41:15.54\00:41:17.61
in our lives.
00:41:17.64\00:41:18.97
When we have the
Holy Spirit in our lives,
00:41:19.01\00:41:20.94
the fire of God burns
within us, not sometimes,
00:41:20.98\00:41:24.78
not moment just
from here and there,
00:41:24.81\00:41:26.58
but it's supposed to
continually burn within us
00:41:26.61\00:41:29.55
each and every day.
00:41:29.58\00:41:30.92
And then when you walk
up to that altar of incense,
00:41:30.95\00:41:32.99
and that incense is burning,
00:41:33.02\00:41:34.36
it represents the intercessory
ministry of Jesus Christ
00:41:34.39\00:41:38.19
as our intercessor.
00:41:38.23\00:41:40.00
It represents the
aspect of our life
00:41:40.03\00:41:42.10
that when we pray, and
we ask God to forgive us,
00:41:42.13\00:41:45.20
and we ask Him to
intercede on our behalf,
00:41:45.23\00:41:47.24
He hears those prayers,
00:41:47.27\00:41:48.60
just as that incense would rise,
00:41:48.64\00:41:50.71
and it would go up to the
Lord, the Lord would hear it,
00:41:50.74\00:41:54.08
He would receive it
00:41:54.11\00:41:55.44
and He would present
them before the Father
00:41:55.48\00:41:56.81
because He is high priest.
00:41:56.85\00:41:58.55
All of this was done how often?
00:41:58.58\00:42:01.12
Daily, daily,
00:42:01.15\00:42:03.79
you cannot go into
the Most Holy Place
00:42:03.82\00:42:08.36
until you have had
a daily experience.
00:42:08.39\00:42:12.53
That's what we're
talking about here, my friends.
00:42:12.56\00:42:16.56
The Daily.
00:42:16.60\00:42:18.43
Now what's interesting,
turn with me to Daniel 12.
00:42:18.47\00:42:21.27
Turn with me to Daniel
12. You got to see this.
00:42:21.30\00:42:25.17
Many times, not just a few,
00:42:25.21\00:42:26.61
but many times the
word Daily is appearing
00:42:26.64\00:42:28.84
or does appear in
the Book of Daniel.
00:42:28.88\00:42:31.81
But one of the
most interesting ones
00:42:31.85\00:42:33.35
is found in the
latter verses of Daniel 12.
00:42:33.38\00:42:35.55
Now we're in the
last chapter of Daniel,
00:42:35.58\00:42:37.32
the last verses of Daniel.
00:42:37.35\00:42:38.92
And I want to begin
reading in verse 11.
00:42:38.95\00:42:40.62
Because this is a prophecy,
00:42:40.66\00:42:42.36
a time prophecy by the
way, did you know that?
00:42:42.39\00:42:44.56
These are two-time prophecies
00:42:44.59\00:42:45.93
that many people
don't understand.
00:42:45.96\00:42:47.43
And I'm going to unfold
them here rather quickly,
00:42:47.46\00:42:49.66
but
significantly for this morning
00:42:49.70\00:42:51.13
because it plays
a significant role
00:42:51.17\00:42:52.50
in our understanding.
00:42:52.53\00:42:53.94
Notice what he says,
speaking of the last days.
00:42:53.97\00:42:56.60
He says, this is Daniel 12:11.
00:42:56.64\00:42:59.34
He says, "And from
the time that the daily,"
00:42:59.37\00:43:03.31
there it is, "is taken away."
00:43:03.35\00:43:04.95
More the devil really
wants to take away this daily,
00:43:04.98\00:43:07.05
doesn't he?
00:43:07.08\00:43:08.42
Why does the devil
want to take away the daily?
00:43:08.45\00:43:09.92
What is our goal as Christians?
00:43:14.62\00:43:16.73
What's our
ultimate goal as Christian?
00:43:19.76\00:43:21.36
Let's get home,
let's get close to home.
00:43:21.40\00:43:23.83
To be saved in the
kingdom, we want eternal life.
00:43:23.87\00:43:27.34
We want to be
eternally in heaven
00:43:27.37\00:43:29.84
or in the new
earth with Jesus, right?
00:43:29.87\00:43:32.14
That's the goal.
00:43:32.17\00:43:33.51
We want to be forever
with our Lord and Savior,
00:43:33.54\00:43:35.81
not separate.
00:43:35.84\00:43:37.45
So I love that
song, "Never part again.
00:43:37.48\00:43:40.48
No, never part again."
00:43:40.52\00:43:42.58
We won't have to
part again, right?
00:43:42.62\00:43:44.32
Because we'll be
with Jesus forever.
00:43:44.35\00:43:45.69
That's the
goal. That's our goal.
00:43:45.72\00:43:47.72
That's why the Book
of Hebrews says that,
00:43:47.76\00:43:49.42
that even Abraham looked
far off towards a new city
00:43:49.46\00:43:53.60
and a new earth,
a new way of life.
00:43:53.63\00:43:55.80
That's the goal.
00:43:55.83\00:43:57.17
We don't want to be
in this life anymore
00:43:57.20\00:43:58.53
with all the death, and
the pain, and the sorrow,
00:43:58.57\00:44:00.07
and the horribleness
that we're dealing with today.
00:44:00.10\00:44:02.30
The goal is to be with
Jesus forever in heaven.
00:44:02.34\00:44:04.31
But here's the thing.
00:44:04.34\00:44:05.77
We cannot be in
the presence of our God
00:44:05.81\00:44:10.01
until we have had
a daily experience.
00:44:10.05\00:44:15.08
Let's go back to the sanctuary.
00:44:15.12\00:44:17.42
What is the goal?
00:44:17.45\00:44:18.79
What is the
ultimate goal of a person
00:44:18.82\00:44:22.39
in relation to
the sanctuary message?
00:44:22.42\00:44:25.59
You start at the gate,
and you go into the courtyard,
00:44:25.63\00:44:28.46
but do you want to
remain in the courtyard?
00:44:28.50\00:44:31.13
You just want to dance around
in the courtyard all the times?
00:44:31.17\00:44:33.50
Is that's your place? No, no.
00:44:33.54\00:44:34.87
You should have a
courtyard experience, right?
00:44:34.90\00:44:37.64
But then you want to
advance into the holy place.
00:44:37.67\00:44:41.84
But do you want to
remain in the holy place?
00:44:41.88\00:44:46.15
What is your goal?
00:44:46.18\00:44:48.45
You want to go
into the Most Holy.
00:44:48.48\00:44:51.65
Why do you want to be
in the Most Holy Place?
00:44:51.69\00:44:54.09
Come on. Think clear here.
00:44:57.13\00:44:58.56
Think clear here.
00:44:58.59\00:44:59.93
Why do you want to be
in the Most Holy Place?
00:44:59.96\00:45:03.57
Because that is where
00:45:03.60\00:45:05.43
the presence of God is found.
00:45:05.47\00:45:09.87
But you can't be
in the Most Holy Place
00:45:09.90\00:45:13.88
until you have had
a daily experience.
00:45:13.91\00:45:18.08
Does the devil know that?
00:45:18.11\00:45:20.65
The devil knows
that God wants His people
00:45:20.68\00:45:23.25
to have a Most
Holy Place experience.
00:45:23.28\00:45:26.72
He wants them to be
in His very presence.
00:45:26.76\00:45:31.73
But the devil knows
that that can't happen.
00:45:31.76\00:45:34.00
So what is He attacking?
00:45:34.03\00:45:36.46
He's attacking the daily
00:45:36.50\00:45:39.67
life saving ministry of Jesus.
00:45:39.70\00:45:43.87
Now, how did this happen?
Let's continue reading here.
00:45:43.91\00:45:45.64
Daniel 12:11,
00:45:45.67\00:45:47.28
"And from the time that
the daily is taken away,
00:45:47.31\00:45:52.35
and the abomination
of desolation is set up,
00:45:52.38\00:45:56.48
there shall be one thousand
two hundred and ninety days."
00:45:56.52\00:45:59.75
Now let's just pause there.
00:45:59.79\00:46:01.12
We're going to save verse
12 for the big ending, okay?
00:46:01.16\00:46:04.56
When was the daily taken away
00:46:08.26\00:46:11.97
and when was the abomination
of desolation set up?
00:46:12.00\00:46:16.17
And notice this is
post 1st century AD.
00:46:16.20\00:46:20.41
We're talking about
the little horn doing this.
00:46:20.44\00:46:23.35
When did the little
horn take away the Daily
00:46:27.25\00:46:29.72
and what does that mean?
00:46:29.75\00:46:31.55
You see, if the Daily represents
00:46:31.59\00:46:33.96
and I'll go back and
read that one more time,
00:46:33.99\00:46:35.49
so it can be very clear.
00:46:35.52\00:46:37.13
With the Daily represents
00:46:37.16\00:46:39.69
the many different elements
of Christ's saving ministry.
00:46:39.73\00:46:44.20
In other words,
Christ is the bread of life.
00:46:44.23\00:46:46.63
Christ is the
light of the world.
00:46:46.67\00:46:48.20
Christ is the intercessor.
00:46:48.24\00:46:49.70
Christ is the cleanser
and washer away of sins,
00:46:49.74\00:46:52.64
Christ is the Lamb of God
00:46:52.67\00:46:54.28
who takes away
the sin of the world.
00:46:54.31\00:46:56.14
You see, the little horn
wants to usurp that power.
00:46:56.18\00:47:01.38
He wants to place
himself in the place of Christ.
00:47:01.42\00:47:05.75
When did that happen?
00:47:05.79\00:47:09.72
See, many people
aren't aware of this.
00:47:09.76\00:47:12.99
You see, the Catholic priesthood
00:47:13.03\00:47:16.40
was actually
formally established
00:47:16.43\00:47:20.17
in 508 AD.
00:47:20.20\00:47:23.41
When the French King
Clovis, the king of the Franks,
00:47:23.44\00:47:27.64
which is known as the French,
he converted to Catholicism.
00:47:27.68\00:47:30.75
They were the most
powerful nation at that time.
00:47:30.78\00:47:33.52
And they helped to
bring the Catholic Church
00:47:33.55\00:47:36.72
to world dominant
power by the time of 538 AD.
00:47:36.75\00:47:40.52
Notice, 508-538,
that was the time period
00:47:40.56\00:47:44.33
in which the Catholic
Church was being lifted up,
00:47:44.36\00:47:46.56
up, up, up, up,
00:47:46.59\00:47:48.10
but how were they
going to accomplish it?
00:47:48.13\00:47:50.50
They had to make sure
00:47:50.53\00:47:51.93
that they took
the attention of men
00:47:51.97\00:47:54.64
off of Jesus to put it on man.
00:47:54.67\00:47:59.14
Why do you think
00:47:59.17\00:48:00.51
the Catholic
priesthood was created?
00:48:00.54\00:48:04.61
Because the idea of
the Catholic priesthood
00:48:04.65\00:48:07.22
is that you don't pray
to Jesus, you pray to men.
00:48:07.25\00:48:10.75
That's why when men and
women in the Catholic Church
00:48:10.79\00:48:12.45
go to a priest to
confess their sins.
00:48:12.49\00:48:16.02
Only God can forgive sins.
00:48:16.06\00:48:18.93
And notice how they
go into this little box
00:48:18.96\00:48:20.70
that's divided by a veil.
00:48:20.73\00:48:23.63
A two-compartment box
that's divided by a veil.
00:48:23.67\00:48:27.67
And notice, on one
side is the priest,
00:48:27.70\00:48:30.11
and on the other side
is the repentant sinner.
00:48:30.14\00:48:34.01
You got that, there's a...
00:48:34.04\00:48:35.38
Was there another place
another thing in Scripture
00:48:35.41\00:48:37.35
where there's two
compartments divided by a veil?
00:48:37.38\00:48:39.98
The sanctuary, one
the Most Holy Place,
00:48:40.02\00:48:41.95
one the...
00:48:41.98\00:48:43.32
So where is that priest
placing himself on that veil?
00:48:43.35\00:48:46.15
In the Most Holy
Place as a usurper,
00:48:46.19\00:48:48.26
as a substitutionary figure
00:48:48.29\00:48:50.06
for the offices of Jesus Christ.
00:48:50.09\00:48:53.66
When the devil
set up the priesthood,
00:48:53.70\00:48:55.63
he completely
eclipsed the offices
00:48:55.66\00:48:59.73
and work of Jesus
Christ in men and women's lives
00:48:59.77\00:49:02.20
on a daily basis.
00:49:02.24\00:49:03.57
They begin to look to man,
00:49:03.61\00:49:04.94
they've now
stopped looking to God.
00:49:04.97\00:49:06.78
This went on and that's
why we call it the Dark Ages
00:49:06.81\00:49:09.11
because the bright
shining light of Jesus
00:49:09.14\00:49:10.81
was no longer penetrating
the church as a whole.
00:49:10.85\00:49:14.22
It was dark.
00:49:14.25\00:49:15.58
The Word of God was taken away.
00:49:15.62\00:49:16.95
The bread was taken away.
00:49:16.99\00:49:18.52
The lamp was taken away.
00:49:18.55\00:49:20.19
The incense was taken away.
00:49:20.22\00:49:21.79
The laver was taken away.
00:49:21.82\00:49:23.16
How was the laver taken away?
00:49:23.19\00:49:24.53
Full baptism, full,
fully subversive baptism.
00:49:24.56\00:49:27.80
Now what do they do?
00:49:27.83\00:49:29.16
They sprinkle and
they baptize little babies,
00:49:29.20\00:49:31.00
don't even know they exist.
00:49:31.03\00:49:34.34
And they took away the altar
of sacrifice by placing a man,
00:49:34.37\00:49:38.61
the pope in the
place of the Lamb of God.
00:49:38.64\00:49:44.58
When did this happen?
00:49:44.61\00:49:45.95
Look it up, look up
your history, 508 AD.
00:49:45.98\00:49:51.59
Now here's what's
amazing. What did it say?
00:49:51.62\00:49:53.96
When all this happens,
there shall be 1290 days.
00:49:53.99\00:49:57.39
You know what's interesting.
00:49:57.43\00:49:58.76
When you count 1290 years
00:49:58.79\00:50:01.06
because we're talking about
a day for a year principle.
00:50:01.10\00:50:03.93
When you count
1290 years from 508 AD,
00:50:03.97\00:50:06.84
guess what year you come to?
00:50:06.87\00:50:08.20
1798.
00:50:11.11\00:50:14.94
What happened in 1798?
00:50:14.98\00:50:18.91
The power that was set up
was momentarily taken down,
00:50:18.95\00:50:22.78
he was given as Revelation
13 says, a deadly wound.
00:50:22.82\00:50:26.45
But notice, I love
verse 12, verse 12.
00:50:26.49\00:50:29.69
Hey, you know,
I'm not Pentecostal,
00:50:29.72\00:50:31.53
but this makes me
about, want to shout.
00:50:31.56\00:50:33.19
I'm just telling you.
00:50:33.23\00:50:34.80
Revelation,
excuse me, Daniel 12:12.
00:50:34.83\00:50:38.10
He says,
"Blessed is he who waits."
00:50:38.13\00:50:41.57
Lord, what are we waiting on?
00:50:41.60\00:50:43.17
1798, okay, the Catholic Church
is taken down momentarily.
00:50:43.20\00:50:47.24
They're the ones
that usurped themselves
00:50:47.28\00:50:48.74
in the place of Christ.
00:50:48.78\00:50:50.11
Okay, but he says,
"Blessed are those who wait,
00:50:50.15\00:50:52.71
and comes to the 1,335 days."
00:50:52.75\00:50:57.15
Now, the 1,335 days begins
00:50:57.19\00:51:00.79
at the same time
of the 1290 days,
00:51:00.82\00:51:03.53
508 AD when Jesus
Christ was eclipsed.
00:51:03.56\00:51:08.23
But when you count
1,335 years forward,
00:51:08.26\00:51:12.20
you come to the time of 1843,
00:51:12.23\00:51:16.24
1844 when God was
rising up a people
00:51:16.27\00:51:21.48
who would begin
to put back together
00:51:21.51\00:51:24.95
all of God's sanctuary message.
00:51:24.98\00:51:28.78
You see, the devil can't have us
00:51:28.82\00:51:30.15
having a daily experience.
00:51:30.19\00:51:31.52
Because if you begin to
have a daily experience,
00:51:31.55\00:51:33.92
where you begin to
place yourself humbly
00:51:33.96\00:51:36.26
at the altar of sacrifice
00:51:36.29\00:51:37.66
and at the foot of
the cross of the Lamb,
00:51:37.69\00:51:39.76
what's going to happen?
00:51:39.79\00:51:41.13
You're going to
have a heart change.
00:51:41.16\00:51:43.50
You're going to
start experiencing
00:51:43.53\00:51:44.87
as my brother Ivor
Myers would say heartburn,
00:51:44.90\00:51:47.64
because you
can't behold the Lamb.
00:51:47.67\00:51:51.04
You can't behold the Lamb
without feeling something.
00:51:51.07\00:51:55.04
You just got to,
you can't help it.
00:51:55.08\00:51:57.08
When you behold Jesus
00:51:57.11\00:51:58.45
hanging on a
cross for your sins,
00:51:58.48\00:52:00.48
you can't help but
feel something there.
00:52:00.52\00:52:04.02
You want to be cleansed.
00:52:04.05\00:52:07.62
And so Jesus says,
"My death wasn't in vain.
00:52:07.66\00:52:10.43
Let me lead you over here
to another daily experience.
00:52:10.46\00:52:12.96
I want to cleanse
you every single day
00:52:12.99\00:52:15.76
of your dirty sins.
00:52:15.80\00:52:17.53
I'm gonna sanctify you
from every one of those sins."
00:52:17.57\00:52:20.47
That's what we lead to the laver
00:52:20.50\00:52:22.20
where those priests every
day would cleanse themselves
00:52:22.24\00:52:25.07
their hands and their feet
before entering the most...
00:52:25.11\00:52:26.74
Excuse me,
entering the holy place.
00:52:26.78\00:52:29.98
And when you find out
that Christ has died for you
00:52:30.01\00:52:31.95
and that you have been cleansed.
00:52:31.98\00:52:33.45
Jesus says, "Come
with me to the next level.
00:52:40.06\00:52:44.33
I want to take you
00:52:44.36\00:52:46.16
to eat some fresh bread."
00:52:46.19\00:52:50.83
Not that, now understand me.
00:52:50.87\00:52:52.43
Not that like
processed and refined junk.
00:52:52.47\00:52:56.30
We're talking about that like
00:52:56.34\00:52:57.67
non hybridized
whole wheat bread, right?
00:52:57.71\00:53:01.14
It's got the grains
and the seeds and the nuts,
00:53:01.18\00:53:03.38
and all that good stuff
in it that some people go,
00:53:03.41\00:53:06.21
you know about.
00:53:06.25\00:53:07.58
I love it. I've come to love it.
00:53:07.62\00:53:08.95
Hey Dave's healthy
bread Dave's Killer bread,
00:53:08.98\00:53:10.32
I like Dave's Killer bread.
00:53:10.35\00:53:11.69
I like their bread.
That's my bread, right?
00:53:11.72\00:53:14.39
But not just any kind of
bread, it's the bread of life.
00:53:14.42\00:53:17.86
God says you know what?
00:53:17.89\00:53:19.23
Spend time with me
every day in My Word.
00:53:19.26\00:53:22.06
You see, if you're
not spending daily time
00:53:22.10\00:53:23.93
in God's Word,
00:53:23.97\00:53:26.20
you become
spiritually malnourished.
00:53:26.23\00:53:30.17
Oh, would the devil
00:53:30.21\00:53:31.54
love to have you
spiritually malnourished.
00:53:31.57\00:53:34.64
And the devil doesn't want
you to walk around in light.
00:53:37.75\00:53:43.75
He wants you to
walk around in darkness.
00:53:43.79\00:53:45.75
So what does he do?
00:53:45.79\00:53:47.12
He wants to go over to
that seven-branched lampstand
00:53:47.16\00:53:49.42
and he wants to,
hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.
00:53:49.46\00:53:53.60
But Jesus says, "I'm
the light of the world.
00:53:58.00\00:54:02.90
Because I'm the
light of the world,
00:54:02.94\00:54:06.11
when I abide in you,
00:54:06.14\00:54:08.74
you become a light of the world.
00:54:08.78\00:54:11.41
A bright shining
light burns in you,
00:54:11.45\00:54:14.32
because I am in you."
00:54:14.35\00:54:17.79
And it causes us
to fall on our knees
00:54:17.82\00:54:22.42
every single day.
00:54:22.46\00:54:24.59
God, I'm not worthy.
00:54:24.63\00:54:28.86
I'm not worthy to
be called Your servant.
00:54:28.90\00:54:31.40
I'm not worthy to be Your child.
00:54:31.43\00:54:35.74
It humbles you and
brings humility in your life.
00:54:35.77\00:54:39.54
See, the devil
can't have you humble,
00:54:39.57\00:54:42.24
because you know what
2 Chronicles 7:14 says?
00:54:42.28\00:54:46.65
"If my people who
are called by my name
00:54:46.68\00:54:48.92
will humble themselves
and pray and seek My face,
00:54:48.95\00:54:53.62
then I will forgive their
sins and heal their land."
00:54:53.66\00:54:55.99
He can't have you humble.
00:54:56.02\00:54:57.53
See when you're
having a daily experience
00:55:01.60\00:55:03.16
with the Lord,
00:55:03.20\00:55:07.44
He takes you
through a cleansing process.
00:55:07.47\00:55:10.34
Malachi Chapter 3, this
is our verse of the day.
00:55:10.37\00:55:15.44
Malachi 3:2 and 3,
00:55:15.48\00:55:19.68
"But who can endure,"
00:55:19.71\00:55:21.05
this is verse 2 and
3 of Malachi Chapter 3,
00:55:21.08\00:55:23.62
"But who can endure
the day of His coming?
00:55:23.65\00:55:27.19
And who can
stand when He appears?
00:55:27.22\00:55:29.62
For He is like a refiner's fire,
00:55:29.66\00:55:31.96
like launderers' soap."
00:55:31.99\00:55:33.56
And it's so good to be cleaned.
00:55:33.60\00:55:36.03
Me and my brother has been doing
00:55:36.06\00:55:37.40
a lot of fishing lately.
00:55:37.43\00:55:39.37
When you handle
worms and slimy fish,
00:55:39.40\00:55:43.10
and you've been sweating
in the hot sun all day long.
00:55:43.14\00:55:45.97
You wants to come
home and just be clean.
00:55:46.01\00:55:48.71
Feels good.
00:55:48.74\00:55:50.08
Verse 3 says,
00:55:52.75\00:55:54.08
"He will sit as a refiner
and a purifier of silver,
00:55:54.12\00:55:59.42
He will purify the sons of Levi,
00:55:59.45\00:56:01.19
he will purge them
as gold and silver,
00:56:01.22\00:56:03.19
That they may offer to the Lord
an offering in righteousness."
00:56:03.22\00:56:07.23
What's the purpose of the Daily?
00:56:10.37\00:56:13.34
The purpose of
the Daily, my friends,
00:56:13.37\00:56:17.81
is a
sanctifying, cleansing process
00:56:17.84\00:56:21.51
that must occur every
single day in one's life.
00:56:21.54\00:56:26.11
And the devil can't have that.
00:56:26.15\00:56:27.92
So why is he opposing the Daily?
00:56:27.95\00:56:29.98
Why is he attacking the Daily?
00:56:30.02\00:56:31.72
Why is it seem that he's
eclipsing the daily ministerial
00:56:31.75\00:56:35.32
and intercessory work of Christ?
00:56:35.36\00:56:39.13
Because he's trying to eclipse
00:56:39.16\00:56:41.73
the light of Jesus in your life.
00:56:41.76\00:56:44.43
Don't allow that to happen.
00:56:44.47\00:56:47.40
Have a courtyard experience,
00:56:47.44\00:56:49.74
have a holy place experience
00:56:49.77\00:56:51.94
because when you go through
a proper courtyard experience,
00:56:51.97\00:56:55.11
and it leads you to a
proper holy place experience,
00:56:55.14\00:56:57.85
there's going to come a day
00:56:57.88\00:57:01.48
when Jesus is going
to pull back that veil,
00:57:01.52\00:57:03.89
and He's going to
say, "Come on in."
00:57:03.92\00:57:07.19
Because you'll be
able to stand flawless
00:57:07.22\00:57:11.23
in His presence.
00:57:11.26\00:57:12.59
Isn't that awesome?
00:57:12.63\00:57:13.96
Not because of a
work you've done,
00:57:14.00\00:57:15.46
but because of a
work that He has done.
00:57:15.50\00:57:18.43
Let's have a prayer.
Father, we praise You, God.
00:57:18.47\00:57:22.60
We thank You so much
for all that You have done.
00:57:22.64\00:57:27.44
We thank You so
much for the cleansing,
00:57:27.48\00:57:31.75
launderers' soap,
00:57:31.78\00:57:33.11
the refining fires in our life
00:57:33.15\00:57:35.28
that You allow to occur to
cleanse us every single day
00:57:35.32\00:57:38.65
to prepare us for heaven.
00:57:38.69\00:57:40.19
Father, let us have a
daily experience with You.
00:57:40.22\00:57:45.66
Let us Behold the Lamb of God
00:57:45.69\00:57:48.43
who takes away
the sin of the world.
00:57:48.46\00:57:51.43
Cleanse us, oh, God, I pray.
00:57:51.47\00:57:53.84
In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
00:57:53.87\00:57:56.60
Amen. Amen.
00:57:56.64\00:57:57.97
