Hello and welcome to
Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:00:39.00\00:00:41.40
I'm Chris Shelton.
00:00:41.44\00:00:42.77
And in just a few moments,
00:00:42.80\00:00:44.14
you'll hear from my
husband, Pastor Kenny Shelton.
00:00:44.17\00:00:46.78
You know, back in Scripture,
00:00:46.81\00:00:48.48
back in the beginning
in the Garden of Eden,
00:00:48.51\00:00:50.98
you know, we read the
words that Jesus spoke
00:00:51.01\00:00:53.95
as it came after Adam and
Eve had walked and turn away.
00:00:53.98\00:00:58.85
They had committed a sin
00:00:58.89\00:01:01.26
and Jesus walked
through the garden.
00:01:01.29\00:01:03.22
You've realized here, and
I hope you guys do at home
00:01:03.26\00:01:06.56
that Jesus probably
knew exactly where they were.
00:01:06.59\00:01:10.17
He knew exactly
what had happened.
00:01:10.20\00:01:12.47
And yet, as He was walking
in the cool of the garden,
00:01:12.50\00:01:15.74
He began to ask,
"Where art thou?"
00:01:15.77\00:01:18.91
He was looking for
Adam, where art thou?
00:01:18.94\00:01:22.18
You know, we're
living in unprecedented times
00:01:22.21\00:01:24.75
in this world.
00:01:24.78\00:01:26.11
And it is my heart's belief
00:01:26.15\00:01:28.75
that God is looking over
the vast millions of people
00:01:28.78\00:01:33.02
that have walked away,
that have done something
00:01:33.05\00:01:35.36
that they know was not
right in the sight of God.
00:01:35.39\00:01:38.66
And He's asking,
00:01:38.69\00:01:40.50
"Where art
thou? Where art thou?"
00:01:40.53\00:01:44.43
And I hope after
listening to this message today
00:01:44.47\00:01:48.94
that you'll be able to
answer God back and say,
00:01:48.97\00:01:51.94
"Here I am, Lord.
00:01:51.97\00:01:53.98
Here I am, cleanse me,
make me whole, make me ready.
00:01:54.01\00:01:58.35
So please, I pray
that you enjoy that
00:01:58.38\00:02:00.95
you're truly
blessed by this message
00:02:00.98\00:02:03.05
entitled Where art thou.
00:02:03.08\00:02:06.12
Praise the Lord.
00:02:06.15\00:02:07.49
It's good to spend
some time together,
00:02:07.52\00:02:08.86
again, as you heard the welcome,
00:02:08.89\00:02:10.23
we're going to be
talking about and the subject
00:02:10.26\00:02:12.33
is where art thou?
00:02:12.36\00:02:14.56
And you heard we went back
to the beginning in Genesis.
00:02:14.60\00:02:17.60
And so we find that
00:02:17.63\00:02:18.97
that also pertains to the
day that we are living in.
00:02:19.00\00:02:22.80
I've often said, if
you wanna know truth,
00:02:22.84\00:02:25.51
you've got to go
back to the beginning.
00:02:25.54\00:02:27.98
Go back to the beginning,
see how God set it up.
00:02:28.01\00:02:31.58
Then you'll find
out that what He meant
00:02:31.61\00:02:33.95
and what He wants us to do,
00:02:33.98\00:02:35.38
and He'll give us power
in which to do that thing.
00:02:35.42\00:02:37.92
Praise God for that.
00:02:37.95\00:02:39.29
So again, you have your
Bible, pencil, and paper,
00:02:39.32\00:02:41.26
keep everything,
you know, just to...
00:02:41.29\00:02:43.16
I think people need to study
00:02:43.19\00:02:44.53
to show yourself
approved unto God.
00:02:44.56\00:02:46.29
It's not just we come to church
00:02:46.33\00:02:47.70
and then we let the pastor speak
00:02:47.73\00:02:49.20
or the elder or somebody speak.
00:02:49.23\00:02:50.63
And then all of a
sudden, you know, we just go.
00:02:50.67\00:02:52.67
Study to show
yourself approved unto God.
00:02:52.70\00:02:54.60
This is very important that
we hide the Word of God where?
00:02:54.64\00:02:57.41
In our hearts and
certainly in our minds,
00:02:57.44\00:02:59.97
we need to do that.
00:03:00.01\00:03:01.34
Before we have a prayer,
00:03:01.38\00:03:02.71
as we always do
to begin the message,
00:03:02.74\00:03:05.75
as we talk about this.
00:03:05.78\00:03:07.12
To me it's a timely
message where art thou,
00:03:07.15\00:03:09.45
which is actually
goes along with the...
00:03:09.48\00:03:11.75
I guess it was this
month's or the newsletter,
00:03:11.79\00:03:14.12
where art thou.
00:03:14.16\00:03:15.49
And I thought that
was such a good question,
00:03:15.52\00:03:17.86
where art thou?
00:03:17.89\00:03:19.49
And so God asks
that of you and me today,
00:03:19.53\00:03:21.86
where are we in our
relationship with Him?
00:03:21.90\00:03:24.57
Where are we?
00:03:24.60\00:03:26.13
And will the day come
when God may say where art thou
00:03:26.17\00:03:30.57
and what has happened?
00:03:30.61\00:03:32.77
Now, I'm gonna kneel
and have prayer together
00:03:32.81\00:03:34.58
before we open the
Word of God and read it.
00:03:34.61\00:03:37.08
And I just invite
you to kneel with me
00:03:37.11\00:03:39.18
and let's seek the
Lord in prayer, shall we?
00:03:39.21\00:03:42.82
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:03:42.85\00:03:44.19
again, we thank You for
this privilege that we have
00:03:44.22\00:03:46.86
to come before Thee
00:03:46.89\00:03:48.22
and to plead for the
power of Thy Holy Spirit.
00:03:48.26\00:03:51.33
How desperately we
need to hear from heaven.
00:03:51.36\00:03:52.99
We pray in a special way
that You will anoint Your Word.
00:03:53.03\00:03:56.00
We pray that the
eyes will not be on man,
00:03:56.03\00:03:58.00
but they will listen to
the voice of Jesus Christ.
00:03:58.03\00:04:01.27
As You ask us a question,
00:04:01.30\00:04:03.61
where are we in our
relationship with You?
00:04:03.64\00:04:06.04
Bless us we pray with
the power of Thy Holy Spirit.
00:04:06.07\00:04:08.78
Ears, hearts, and minds open
00:04:08.81\00:04:10.68
that we may receive what
You have, in Jesus' name.
00:04:10.71\00:04:13.25
Amen.
00:04:13.28\00:04:14.62
Let's go back to the
Book of Genesis, shall we?
00:04:16.89\00:04:18.45
We'll just read those
verses, Genesis Chapter 3,
00:04:18.49\00:04:21.62
we're gonna read several verses.
00:04:21.66\00:04:23.53
We'll go to 8, 9 and 10.
00:04:23.56\00:04:25.19
Genesis 3:8, 9, and 10.
00:04:25.23\00:04:28.26
Now we could spend what?
00:04:28.30\00:04:30.57
All the time that we have,
00:04:30.60\00:04:31.93
and I'm trying
to watch the time,
00:04:31.97\00:04:34.57
you know, on these verses,
but we're not going to do that,
00:04:34.60\00:04:37.21
but it sure is a real foundation
00:04:37.24\00:04:38.77
as far as I'm concerned,
00:04:38.81\00:04:40.34
starting with verse
8, Genesis Chapter 3.
00:04:40.38\00:04:43.68
It says, "And they
heard the voice of," what?
00:04:43.71\00:04:47.15
"They heard the
voice of the Lord thy God."
00:04:47.18\00:04:49.25
I don't know whoever,
00:04:49.28\00:04:50.62
how many would like
to hear the voice of God?
00:04:50.65\00:04:52.45
Man, I wanna
hear the voice of God.
00:04:52.49\00:04:55.22
And then not only
hear it, but what?
00:04:55.26\00:04:56.89
To respond to the voice of God.
00:04:56.93\00:05:01.86
And I believe this,
00:05:01.90\00:05:03.70
if our ears are open
and our hearts are in tune,
00:05:03.73\00:05:05.83
we will hear that
voice speak to us.
00:05:05.87\00:05:09.60
This is the way, walk ye in it.
00:05:09.64\00:05:11.91
And then other
times we will hear,
00:05:11.94\00:05:13.27
that's not the
way don't walk in it.
00:05:13.31\00:05:16.88
They heard the
voice of the Lord of God
00:05:16.91\00:05:18.58
walking in the garden in
the cool of, what was it?
00:05:18.61\00:05:21.92
The cool of the day.
00:05:21.95\00:05:23.85
Sounds kinda inviting
being in the Garden of Eden,
00:05:23.89\00:05:27.82
which is beyond my mentality
00:05:27.86\00:05:29.46
to think about how
beautiful that it was.
00:05:29.49\00:05:31.89
Without sin,
everything going on right
00:05:31.93\00:05:34.00
before sin came in.
00:05:34.03\00:05:35.66
What a beautiful place
that was, a garden home,
00:05:35.70\00:05:38.63
Adam and Eve lacked nothing.
00:05:38.67\00:05:40.67
Everything was
there open for them.
00:05:40.70\00:05:43.67
And now they hear
the voice of the Lord
00:05:43.71\00:05:45.31
walking in the garden
in the cool of the day.
00:05:45.34\00:05:47.48
Adam and his
wife hid themselves.
00:05:47.51\00:05:49.84
Had that been
their custom before?
00:05:49.88\00:05:52.21
Before they made a choice?
00:05:52.25\00:05:53.58
No, I think they
welcomed Him, don't you?
00:05:53.62\00:05:55.75
As it was His
custom to come down
00:05:55.78\00:05:57.29
and to walk with
them and talk with them.
00:05:57.32\00:05:59.49
That encourages me to say,
00:05:59.52\00:06:00.86
that's what He wants
today in each of our lives,
00:06:00.89\00:06:03.73
He wants to walk with us.
00:06:03.76\00:06:05.09
He wants to talk with
us. He wants to lead us.
00:06:05.13\00:06:07.66
He wants to guide
us, give us strength.
00:06:07.70\00:06:09.96
But sometimes we maybe hide
00:06:10.00\00:06:12.43
like they did themselves
in the presence of the Lord,
00:06:12.47\00:06:15.47
God, among the
trees of the garden.
00:06:15.50\00:06:18.17
Just those things that they love
00:06:18.21\00:06:19.81
to walk around in and through
and admire the beauty of them.
00:06:19.84\00:06:22.64
They found that they
could try to hide from God.
00:06:22.68\00:06:25.71
Verse 9,
00:06:25.75\00:06:27.08
"And the Lord
God called unto Adam
00:06:27.12\00:06:28.45
and said unto him,"
00:06:28.48\00:06:30.32
sermon title,
00:06:30.35\00:06:31.69
"where art thou??
00:06:31.72\00:06:33.62
Wouldn't you feel
like you needed to answer?
00:06:37.33\00:06:39.16
You hear the voice of God,
00:06:40.30\00:06:41.63
they knew Him well
and say where art thou
00:06:41.66\00:06:43.97
and notice Adam said to Him,
00:06:44.00\00:06:47.30
notice that he said,
00:06:47.34\00:06:48.67
I heard thy voice
and now Adam speak,
00:06:48.70\00:06:50.27
"I heard thy
voice in the garden,
00:06:50.31\00:06:51.87
and I was," what?
00:06:51.91\00:06:53.98
He said, "I was afraid."
00:06:54.01\00:06:55.71
Interesting.
00:06:55.74\00:06:57.45
I wonder why he was afraid.
00:06:57.48\00:06:59.78
You'd say, "Well,
because he sinned,"
00:06:59.81\00:07:01.15
and naturally it was sin.
00:07:01.18\00:07:02.58
But did you think that
00:07:02.62\00:07:03.95
he remembered
Genesis, what is it?
00:07:03.99\00:07:05.32
2:17 where God said to them,
00:07:05.35\00:07:07.46
"If you eat of that
tree, you'll surely die."
00:07:07.49\00:07:12.89
He knew that he
had eaten, did he not?
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.30
So surely this must
have went through his mind,
00:07:15.33\00:07:17.97
I'm gonna die.
00:07:18.00\00:07:19.80
Maybe if I could stay away
from God and not look at Him,
00:07:19.83\00:07:21.70
maybe I won't die
or something was going,
00:07:21.74\00:07:23.20
he's making excuses,
00:07:23.24\00:07:24.61
but he knew death
was knocking at the door.
00:07:24.64\00:07:28.21
'Cause I don't know if
it was explained to him
00:07:28.24\00:07:30.35
or if we ever
found in Scripture,
00:07:30.38\00:07:31.71
somebody has studied it out
00:07:31.75\00:07:33.52
where God explained to them
00:07:33.55\00:07:35.02
that when you sin,
that moment you sin,
00:07:35.05\00:07:36.89
you're not gonna
die at that moment.
00:07:36.92\00:07:38.29
Yeah. You're not gonna die.
00:07:41.49\00:07:43.69
They may have
thought as soon as they ate,
00:07:43.73\00:07:45.06
they are going to die,
00:07:45.09\00:07:46.43
but they found that they hadn't
and now God's calling them
00:07:46.46\00:07:49.20
and now they're hiding.
00:07:49.23\00:07:53.17
Thou shall surely die.
00:07:53.20\00:07:54.54
And he said,
00:07:54.57\00:07:55.90
"I was hiding because I
was naked and I hid myself."
00:07:55.94\00:07:58.84
Hmm.
00:07:58.87\00:08:00.21
Very interesting.
00:08:00.24\00:08:01.58
The voice that they loved,
00:08:01.61\00:08:04.25
the voice they
loved to talk with,
00:08:04.28\00:08:06.78
a voice that they feared.
00:08:06.82\00:08:09.45
All of a sudden
things begin to change.
00:08:09.48\00:08:12.22
And it was not
because they were so modest,
00:08:12.25\00:08:16.99
it's because they know,
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.36
that they knew that
they had done wrong.
00:08:18.39\00:08:21.96
The very first words
that they heard from God
00:08:22.00\00:08:27.04
after they sinned
was, where art thou.
00:08:27.07\00:08:31.21
And I think it was brought
out very plain and clear.
00:08:31.24\00:08:34.34
Think about that question.
00:08:34.38\00:08:35.94
Do you think God
didn't know where they was at?
00:08:35.98\00:08:38.61
Surely, He knew where they are.
00:08:38.65\00:08:39.98
I mean, think
about where art thou?
00:08:40.02\00:08:41.52
God knew,
00:08:41.55\00:08:43.08
He knew before the
foundation of the world
00:08:43.12\00:08:44.99
and He knew what
would take place,
00:08:45.02\00:08:46.79
but He asked that question
00:08:46.82\00:08:48.16
and that could go in a
lot of different directions,
00:08:48.19\00:08:49.79
could it not?
00:08:49.82\00:08:51.29
Where art thou?
00:08:51.33\00:08:52.66
'Cause I think
sometimes God asks us
00:08:52.69\00:08:54.03
when we get off the
road just a little bit,
00:08:54.06\00:08:55.56
where art thou?
00:08:55.60\00:08:59.13
What are you doing over here?
00:08:59.17\00:09:01.30
Why are you over here?
00:09:01.34\00:09:02.67
Where art thou?
00:09:05.87\00:09:07.34
Counsels of the Church,
page 39, paragraph four says,
00:09:07.38\00:09:11.08
"Soon, the battle
will be waged fiercely
00:09:11.11\00:09:15.58
between those who serve God,"
00:09:15.62\00:09:17.59
notice this, "and
those who serve Him not."
00:09:17.62\00:09:21.19
Now from this
pulpit always we will hear,
00:09:21.22\00:09:23.83
I believe what God
wants is a warning message,
00:09:23.86\00:09:26.23
a wake up message.
00:09:26.26\00:09:28.86
Remember, there's a battle
that's going to be fierce,
00:09:28.90\00:09:31.73
a fierce battle.
00:09:33.67\00:09:35.40
And yet there's
like many people thinking
00:09:35.44\00:09:36.97
those that we're talking
about in the last day church
00:09:37.01\00:09:39.11
that they say,
you know, we love God.
00:09:39.14\00:09:40.64
We want to keep
His commandments.
00:09:40.68\00:09:42.08
They don't want this
message to be too tough.
00:09:42.11\00:09:46.85
But I'm reading there's
gonna be a fierce battle
00:09:46.88\00:09:50.09
that's going to go on,
and it is for eternal life.
00:09:50.12\00:09:54.32
We need to be warned
00:09:54.36\00:09:55.69
for those who serve Him
and those who serve Him not.
00:09:55.72\00:10:00.23
The article goes on to say
00:10:00.26\00:10:01.60
everything that
can be shaken, what?
00:10:01.63\00:10:04.57
Will be shaken,
00:10:04.60\00:10:06.07
and the things
that cannot be shaken
00:10:06.10\00:10:08.30
will remain.
00:10:08.34\00:10:10.74
That kind of throws
00:10:10.77\00:10:12.11
a little bit of cog in
the wheel of many people
00:10:12.14\00:10:13.78
who they write me all
the time or they give a call.
00:10:13.81\00:10:15.68
And they're worried about
if there's two in the field
00:10:15.71\00:10:17.78
and one's taken the other remain
00:10:17.81\00:10:19.28
and they're saying, well,
now this is the right one.
00:10:19.31\00:10:21.02
And the one that
stays is the right one.
00:10:21.05\00:10:22.38
The other would say the one
that goes up is the right one.
00:10:22.42\00:10:24.22
It's kind of interesting
00:10:24.25\00:10:25.59
that those things
00:10:25.62\00:10:26.96
that cannot be
shaken will remain.
00:10:26.99\00:10:30.33
So at least here I wanna remain.
00:10:30.36\00:10:34.43
Because you can't tell me that
the shaking is not going on.
00:10:34.46\00:10:37.90
We realized that
was in the 1800s,
00:10:37.93\00:10:39.60
middle 1800s,
00:10:39.63\00:10:40.97
the shaking had
already commenced.
00:10:41.00\00:10:43.00
And the shaking commences
in your life and my life
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.47
once we turn it
over to Jesus Christ,
00:10:45.51\00:10:48.14
there is a shaking going on.
00:10:48.18\00:10:52.01
Anything, the devil will use,
00:10:52.05\00:10:53.58
anything,
everything dirty, underhanded,
00:10:53.62\00:10:55.55
it doesn't matter.
00:10:55.58\00:10:56.92
He studies your life day by day.
00:10:56.95\00:10:58.59
He knows you, they say
better than you know yourself.
00:10:58.62\00:11:01.56
And he brings all
those weaker points
00:11:01.59\00:11:03.26
back to you all the time.
00:11:03.29\00:11:05.13
Hits you where it hurts.
00:11:05.16\00:11:06.49
You ever heard that?
Hit him where it hurts.
00:11:06.53\00:11:10.07
Because he's not playing games.
00:11:10.10\00:11:11.43
You may be playing games.
00:11:11.47\00:11:13.34
I'm sure you're not.
00:11:13.37\00:11:14.70
I'm not playing games.
00:11:14.74\00:11:16.77
This is serious business.
00:11:16.81\00:11:18.54
God asks us the
same question today,
00:11:22.24\00:11:26.38
where He say Kenny,
00:11:26.41\00:11:28.78
He says, where art thou?
00:11:28.82\00:11:31.72
Maybe when I choose another road
00:11:31.75\00:11:33.59
or I make a decision,
00:11:33.62\00:11:35.42
maybe I shouldn't have
made or do something, I say,
00:11:35.46\00:11:37.49
I choose to sin
like Adam and Eve
00:11:37.53\00:11:40.10
when they were
tempted, they fell short.
00:11:40.13\00:11:42.16
Even though it's interesting
00:11:44.63\00:11:46.00
when you read
Spirit of Prophecy on it,
00:11:46.03\00:11:47.54
and I'm sure you all have,
as you studied these things.
00:11:47.57\00:11:50.67
The temptation
that Adam and Eve had
00:11:50.71\00:11:52.91
was not very tough.
00:11:52.94\00:11:55.58
Is it okay to say that now?
00:11:55.61\00:11:57.45
'Cause some of the temptations
that we have as human beings,
00:11:57.48\00:11:59.55
it seems like that, man,
it's like life and death issue
00:11:59.58\00:12:01.75
and oh, wow.
00:12:01.78\00:12:03.12
Now what do I mean by that?
00:12:03.15\00:12:05.55
It's not as tough
as it could have been.
00:12:05.59\00:12:09.12
The plan of
salvation was so arranged
00:12:09.16\00:12:12.06
that it wouldn't be that tough.
00:12:12.09\00:12:15.23
Let me read something to you,
00:12:15.26\00:12:16.60
Signs of the Time,
April 4th written in 1900.
00:12:16.63\00:12:20.74
Signs of the Time,
April 4th, 1900 says this.
00:12:20.77\00:12:24.04
"The plan of
salvation was so arranged
00:12:24.07\00:12:26.07
that when Adam was tested,
00:12:26.11\00:12:28.54
temptation was removed
from him as far as possible."
00:12:28.58\00:12:33.62
It seems like
today it's just pushed,
00:12:33.65\00:12:34.98
you know, oh my.
00:12:35.02\00:12:36.99
But God does say what?
00:12:37.02\00:12:38.35
I'll not put more on you
than you're able to, right?
00:12:38.39\00:12:40.66
Bear without providing what?
00:12:40.69\00:12:42.96
Okay. What is the way of escape?
00:12:42.99\00:12:44.69
When temptation
comes against you,
00:12:44.73\00:12:46.06
boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom,
00:12:46.09\00:12:47.43
what is the way of escape?
00:12:47.46\00:12:49.36
Christ is, that's exactly it.
00:12:49.40\00:12:51.20
He is the way of escape.
00:12:51.23\00:12:53.13
He doesn't say
drop and give me 10.
00:12:53.17\00:12:56.00
Go hide in the
closet for a while.
00:12:56.04\00:12:58.47
He said, I am your,
right, I am your vehicle,
00:12:58.51\00:13:01.04
I'm gonna help you to escape.
00:13:01.08\00:13:04.18
But notice is almost like
with just such love and grace
00:13:04.21\00:13:09.65
as far as possible.
00:13:09.68\00:13:11.15
And you say, well, how
was this temptation removed
00:13:11.19\00:13:14.82
as far as possible from him.
00:13:14.86\00:13:17.99
It goes on and says
there, April 4th, 1900,
00:13:18.03\00:13:20.70
"When Adam was
tempted, he was not hungry."
00:13:20.73\00:13:24.80
Now would there be a difference?
00:13:24.83\00:13:27.54
Who was it about Esau?
00:13:27.57\00:13:29.94
Esau sold his
birthright because he was what?
00:13:29.97\00:13:33.31
Wasn't he basically hungry?
00:13:33.34\00:13:35.21
And he wanted his brother
00:13:35.24\00:13:36.58
to make some pottage
or porridge, something.
00:13:36.61\00:13:39.31
He was hungry.
00:13:42.85\00:13:44.19
Therefore the
temptation was like,
00:13:44.22\00:13:45.55
oh, I just got to get
something to eat now make me.
00:13:45.59\00:13:48.36
And so Adam and
Eve, Adam was not hungry.
00:13:48.39\00:13:53.50
'Cause to me it's more tempting
00:13:53.53\00:13:54.86
when you're
going down the street
00:13:54.90\00:13:56.23
and you're walking
in front of a bakery
00:13:56.26\00:13:58.17
in my lands.
00:13:58.20\00:13:59.83
Okay, I'll leave that.
00:13:59.87\00:14:02.44
You know, you
shouldn't be going in there,
00:14:02.47\00:14:03.91
stuff not really
good, but that smell,
00:14:03.94\00:14:06.71
whoa, and you're hungry.
00:14:06.74\00:14:09.31
And most time we
just give in and go in,
00:14:09.34\00:14:13.68
but he wasn't even hungry.
00:14:13.72\00:14:15.78
That was interesting.
00:14:15.82\00:14:19.15
Why did Adam fail the test?
00:14:19.19\00:14:22.22
Why did he fail the test?
00:14:22.26\00:14:24.36
He knew, did he
not? Eve was fooled.
00:14:24.39\00:14:26.56
Is that true or was it?
00:14:26.59\00:14:30.30
She was deceived by
the beguiled, by the enemy.
00:14:30.33\00:14:34.34
And she failed.
00:14:34.37\00:14:36.27
I think Adam knew
what was going on,
00:14:36.30\00:14:41.08
but he ate anyway.
00:14:41.11\00:14:42.44
So that just simply says,
00:14:42.48\00:14:43.81
because he loved Eve
more than he loved what?
00:14:43.85\00:14:47.42
He loved Eve his wife
more than he loved God.
00:14:47.45\00:14:50.55
See we have people,
00:14:50.59\00:14:51.92
believe it or not
in the church today,
00:14:51.95\00:14:53.36
Christians that
love their spouse
00:14:53.39\00:14:55.46
more than they love God
00:14:55.49\00:14:56.83
because they do
what the spouse wants
00:14:56.86\00:14:58.19
rather than what
God wants them to do.
00:14:58.23\00:15:00.46
Is that true?
00:15:00.50\00:15:01.83
It's true.
00:15:01.86\00:15:04.40
And they've told
me that sometime,
00:15:04.43\00:15:05.80
I can't come to church
00:15:05.83\00:15:07.37
because my wife or
my husband won't let me,
00:15:07.40\00:15:11.24
but I know
heaven will be my home.
00:15:11.27\00:15:12.64
We need to rethink
that just a little bit.
00:15:12.67\00:15:15.98
Not trying to be judgmental.
00:15:16.01\00:15:17.35
I want us just to think,
00:15:17.38\00:15:18.71
because if you allow
that thought to go ahead
00:15:18.75\00:15:21.12
and transfer into the
mind of some individuals,
00:15:21.15\00:15:24.22
it's like, well, I can go ahead
and do what they want me to do,
00:15:24.25\00:15:26.49
and heaven is
going to be my home,
00:15:26.52\00:15:27.99
when Jesus says, oh my!
00:15:28.02\00:15:30.96
What are you putting before Me?
00:15:30.99\00:15:33.09
So it seems that he
loved Eve more than God,
00:15:33.13\00:15:35.66
because it comes
back to Exodus 20: 3.
00:15:35.70\00:15:38.03
Does it not?
00:15:38.07\00:15:39.63
Word of God says,
thou shalt have no what?
00:15:39.67\00:15:43.67
"Thou shalt have no
other gods before Me."
00:15:43.71\00:15:47.64
Isn't that very interesting
00:15:47.68\00:15:49.14
when you think
about what God was saying
00:15:49.18\00:15:51.75
to the people who
had been in the situation
00:15:51.78\00:15:54.32
that they had been in,
00:15:54.35\00:15:55.72
when they were
surrounded by nations
00:15:55.75\00:15:57.55
who had many gods,
00:15:57.59\00:16:00.56
God was squaring it
away with them to say,
00:16:00.59\00:16:02.92
there's only one
God, not many gods.
00:16:02.96\00:16:06.76
Polytheism,
isn't that what it is?
00:16:10.90\00:16:13.64
Poly means many gods.
00:16:13.67\00:16:16.97
God said, "No,
there's only one God."
00:16:17.01\00:16:21.24
Hmm.
00:16:21.28\00:16:22.61
And I thought, that's it.
00:16:22.64\00:16:23.98
That's kind of
interesting right there,
00:16:24.01\00:16:25.51
thou shalt not have
other gods before Me
00:16:25.55\00:16:28.68
and before Me means
00:16:28.72\00:16:30.29
there shall be no
other gods before My face.
00:16:30.32\00:16:33.49
There shall be no other
gods, notice that, besides me.
00:16:33.52\00:16:38.36
There shall be no
other gods in addition to Me.
00:16:38.39\00:16:42.93
That's pretty
plain then, isn't it?
00:16:42.96\00:16:44.83
Thou shalt have no other gods.
00:16:44.87\00:16:46.53
That means that could mean
00:16:46.57\00:16:48.07
in food and drink,
and houses and lands,
00:16:48.10\00:16:50.14
and jobs and companions,
and children and does it?
00:16:50.17\00:16:53.17
It include anything
that we put before God
00:16:53.21\00:16:55.78
or use as an excuse
for not serving God.
00:16:55.81\00:16:58.61
Christ Object Lesson,
page 299 makes a statement.
00:17:01.98\00:17:04.55
Listen carefully.
00:17:04.59\00:17:06.35
It said, "The people of
God are worshiping false gods,"
00:17:06.39\00:17:10.53
or the people of the
world are worshiping false gods.
00:17:10.56\00:17:13.70
Is that somewhat true?
00:17:13.73\00:17:15.70
People of the world,
they're worshiping false gods
00:17:15.73\00:17:17.80
on every hand, you know that.
00:17:17.83\00:17:20.44
"They are to be turned
from their false worship.
00:17:20.47\00:17:24.01
Now how are they turned
from their false worship?
00:17:24.04\00:17:26.78
If we realize that
00:17:26.81\00:17:28.14
they're putting
other things before God,
00:17:28.18\00:17:30.45
somehow they need
to turn from that.
00:17:30.48\00:17:31.91
Is that true?
00:17:31.95\00:17:33.88
Notice this, you
turn them, it says,
00:17:33.92\00:17:36.15
"Not by hearing
denunciation of their idols,
00:17:36.18\00:17:40.76
but beholding something better."
00:17:40.79\00:17:44.33
How do you
change idol worshipers?
00:17:44.36\00:17:46.90
Any person that
needs to do is what?
00:17:46.93\00:17:48.83
By giving them what?
00:17:48.86\00:17:50.30
Something better.
00:17:50.33\00:17:53.47
Now think about it.
00:17:53.50\00:17:54.84
You can condemn, you
can look at the idols
00:17:54.87\00:17:56.30
and tell them you're
not supposed to do that.
00:17:56.34\00:17:57.67
The Bible says not do that,
00:17:57.71\00:17:59.04
but most give respect
by beholding, by looking,
00:17:59.07\00:18:01.24
by they're watching
you, how is your life?
00:18:01.28\00:18:03.51
How's your
conduct? How's my conduct?
00:18:03.55\00:18:05.51
Am I offering
them something better
00:18:05.55\00:18:07.78
than the world's offering them?
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.79
I've heard
people say many times,
00:18:10.82\00:18:12.15
well, so-and-so goes
to the church down there.
00:18:12.19\00:18:13.52
I know where they go down there,
00:18:13.56\00:18:14.89
but hey, they go down there.
00:18:14.92\00:18:16.26
But you know what?
00:18:16.29\00:18:17.63
They're not any
better than I am.
00:18:17.66\00:18:20.20
They didn't say things
I did, may be even worse.
00:18:20.23\00:18:23.87
I mean, it's a
legitimate argument.
00:18:23.90\00:18:25.80
We shouldn't do
that, absolutely.
00:18:25.83\00:18:27.64
But we shouldn't what?
00:18:27.67\00:18:29.00
Behold man
either and look to him.
00:18:29.04\00:18:30.61
We look to Jesus and the author
and finisher of our faith,
00:18:30.64\00:18:35.31
because someday He's
gonna say where art thou?
00:18:35.34\00:18:40.32
So what is that something better
00:18:40.35\00:18:42.38
that we can offer them?
00:18:42.42\00:18:43.75
Would that not
be God's character?
00:18:43.79\00:18:46.15
Absolutely, God's mercy
and His long sufferings,
00:18:46.19\00:18:48.29
forgiveness of sin,
His goodness and so on,
00:18:48.32\00:18:51.36
which is to be made known.
00:18:51.39\00:18:54.43
Jesus made this
statement one time
00:18:54.46\00:18:55.80
it's true where He said,
00:18:55.83\00:18:57.17
ye are therefore My witnesses.
00:18:57.20\00:18:58.97
Ye are what?
00:18:59.00\00:19:00.34
Ye are my witnesses.
00:19:00.37\00:19:02.90
Wow.
00:19:02.94\00:19:05.34
I thought what does
that mean, witnesses?
00:19:05.37\00:19:06.81
We always say, well,
so-and-so is witnessing for.
00:19:06.84\00:19:09.71
The word translated
says they are My witnesses.
00:19:09.74\00:19:11.98
He said, you are my testimony.
00:19:12.01\00:19:16.38
Now what kind of
a testimony are we
00:19:16.42\00:19:18.92
in representing Jesus Christ?
00:19:18.95\00:19:21.79
When they look at
you, they look at me.
00:19:21.82\00:19:24.96
What kind of a testimony am I?
00:19:24.99\00:19:27.30
Am I lifting up
the Lord and Savior,
00:19:27.33\00:19:28.70
or am I doing what?
00:19:28.73\00:19:30.07
Doing the opposite?
00:19:30.10\00:19:32.60
Giving them some reasons
00:19:32.63\00:19:33.97
where they wanna
turn loose of the world
00:19:34.00\00:19:35.60
and begin to
follow after Christ.
00:19:35.64\00:19:38.94
You are my
witnesses. You are my testimony.
00:19:38.97\00:19:43.11
I like one of the words there.
00:19:43.14\00:19:44.48
It said, you are my recorder.
00:19:44.51\00:19:49.88
Come on, church.
00:19:49.92\00:19:51.25
You are my what?
00:19:51.29\00:19:52.62
Recorder.
00:19:52.65\00:19:53.99
Other words you'd
record something, right?
00:19:54.02\00:19:55.36
Everything's out there.
00:19:55.39\00:19:56.73
We are to have recorded Christ
as it were and played through.
00:20:00.03\00:20:03.50
And they see
Christ in me, in you,
00:20:03.53\00:20:06.03
the hope of glory.
00:20:06.07\00:20:08.30
I mean, that's
pretty heavy duty,
00:20:08.34\00:20:09.67
that's like
everything's going to show up.
00:20:09.70\00:20:13.27
And that work
certainly is to testify.
00:20:13.31\00:20:15.88
I've heard people
say in a lot of services
00:20:15.91\00:20:17.28
they have gone to,
00:20:17.31\00:20:18.65
we've come
tonight for testimonies.
00:20:18.68\00:20:20.95
We're gonna have
testimony. We're gonna testify.
00:20:20.98\00:20:24.35
Sometime we say
that in the church
00:20:24.39\00:20:25.72
and not a one testified.
00:20:25.75\00:20:27.99
You have to beg and
plead and crawl around and beg.
00:20:28.02\00:20:30.56
We shouldn't have to do
that. You know what I mean?
00:20:33.66\00:20:35.33
Somebody's gonna testify
00:20:35.36\00:20:36.80
'cause Jesus
said, you are my what?
00:20:36.83\00:20:38.17
You are my witnesses.
00:20:38.20\00:20:39.73
Where art thou?
00:20:43.00\00:20:46.07
Could not was God coming
down and seeing Adam and Eve,
00:20:46.11\00:20:48.14
and they hid there and so on.
00:20:48.18\00:20:49.51
And He says, "Where art they?"
He knew where they were at.
00:20:49.54\00:20:50.88
We understand that.
00:20:50.91\00:20:52.25
But then He might be
saying, you know what?
00:20:52.28\00:20:53.62
You know, what's going on?
00:20:53.65\00:20:58.22
What's happened? He knew.
00:20:58.25\00:21:00.29
Yeah, He knew all of those.
00:21:00.32\00:21:01.66
He had all the answers,
00:21:01.69\00:21:03.02
but He was still
trying to talk to them.
00:21:03.06\00:21:04.39
God knew where Adam and Eve was.
00:21:04.43\00:21:06.39
There's no doubt about it,
00:21:06.43\00:21:08.63
but it isn't the
first three words there
00:21:08.66\00:21:11.00
revealed a
separation that had just begun.
00:21:11.03\00:21:15.04
Remember there was no
separation before sin,
00:21:15.07\00:21:17.04
after sin there was separation
00:21:17.07\00:21:18.94
that tells us the day
00:21:18.97\00:21:20.31
when there's sin in the
life that we know about it,
00:21:20.34\00:21:22.54
we are separated from God.
00:21:22.58\00:21:25.15
Now what the Bible
says, we're separate.
00:21:25.18\00:21:27.18
No, we don't want to
be separate, we might say,
00:21:27.22\00:21:29.08
but yet, still yet
that sin has separated us
00:21:29.12\00:21:31.29
because what is it?
00:21:31.32\00:21:32.85
Isaiah 59:2, it says,
00:21:32.89\00:21:34.99
"Your iniquities have
separated between Me and you."
00:21:35.02\00:21:37.73
Isn't that right? Iniquities.
00:21:37.76\00:21:39.09
Our sin has
separated us from God.
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.70
We might pretend, we
might be singing praises,
00:21:41.73\00:21:44.27
we might be
preaching prayer blazes.
00:21:44.30\00:21:46.87
Somebody with me?
00:21:46.90\00:21:49.50
That doesn't mean.
00:21:49.54\00:21:52.97
Power of the Spirit of God
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.68
is what we need in
our hearts, our lives,
00:21:54.71\00:21:56.85
because we don't
want that separation.
00:21:56.88\00:21:58.78
We can't live with, you
know, being separated from God.
00:22:03.49\00:22:06.19
Because as soon as that,
00:22:06.22\00:22:07.82
we began, as soon
as the separation come,
00:22:07.86\00:22:09.66
what happened to Adam and Eve?
00:22:09.69\00:22:11.03
They began to do what?
00:22:11.06\00:22:12.59
Somebody say die.
00:22:12.63\00:22:14.76
They begin to die. Did they not?
00:22:14.80\00:22:16.67
Yes, they did.
00:22:16.70\00:22:18.03
The moment they
chose another leader,
00:22:18.07\00:22:20.44
the moment you choose a leader,
and I choose another leader,
00:22:20.47\00:22:23.07
I'm underneath that leader.
00:22:23.10\00:22:25.64
Right now I choose Jesus Christ.
00:22:25.67\00:22:27.14
You say, I choose Jesus Christ.
00:22:27.18\00:22:28.78
Okay. I'm walking with Jesus.
00:22:28.81\00:22:30.45
Well, I choose to go do this
because that's what I wanna do.
00:22:30.48\00:22:32.91
And I should be
able to get away with,
00:22:32.95\00:22:34.28
I should be able to,
00:22:34.32\00:22:35.65
I've just... I've
walked away from Christ
00:22:35.68\00:22:38.15
and I've chose another,
the other leader is the enemy.
00:22:38.19\00:22:41.32
There's only
two, ain't that right?
00:22:41.36\00:22:43.99
And there's no such thing
00:22:44.03\00:22:45.36
as walking hand in
hand with both of them.
00:22:45.39\00:22:48.33
Jesus is clear about
that in the Word, isn't it?
00:22:48.36\00:22:50.70
After sin came in,
00:22:53.94\00:22:55.64
now notice, I like this,
00:22:55.67\00:22:57.34
praise God for when sin came in,
00:22:57.37\00:23:00.91
who was the one
that went seeking?
00:23:00.94\00:23:03.35
Isn't that beautiful?
00:23:06.75\00:23:08.08
Even though they've sinned,
had chosen another leader,
00:23:08.12\00:23:11.95
God still came down to them
00:23:11.99\00:23:15.69
and He still want to woo them
00:23:15.72\00:23:17.33
into relationship of repentance
and to come back to Him.
00:23:17.36\00:23:21.40
He came to them,
He went to the garden.
00:23:21.43\00:23:25.20
He could have left them
there and say, I told you so.
00:23:25.23\00:23:27.54
That's what some of
us would have done maybe.
00:23:27.57\00:23:30.44
I warned you.
00:23:30.47\00:23:31.84
I told you about it.
00:23:31.87\00:23:33.27
I told you about this tree.
00:23:33.31\00:23:35.48
I told you what was
gonna be in that tree.
00:23:35.51\00:23:37.18
I told you what it was gonna do.
00:23:37.21\00:23:38.71
And I told you, Eve,
00:23:38.75\00:23:40.08
don't, you stray too
far from your husband
00:23:40.12\00:23:41.72
and you didn't look out.
00:23:41.75\00:23:43.08
And God certainly warned Adam.
00:23:48.02\00:23:49.42
He knew, Adam knew what he did.
00:23:49.46\00:23:52.89
And sometimes we
know what we're doing.
00:23:52.93\00:23:57.33
That makes it, can I
say worse when we know.
00:23:57.37\00:24:02.24
I can't say, I can't beg
and say ignorance every time.
00:24:02.27\00:24:06.61
Sometime I plead ignorance
00:24:06.64\00:24:08.81
'cause I didn't know,
00:24:08.84\00:24:10.18
there's other
times you can't plead
00:24:10.21\00:24:11.55
you know and I know.
00:24:11.58\00:24:12.91
Bible is very clear.
00:24:17.49\00:24:19.62
It says the
wages of sin is what?
00:24:19.65\00:24:21.69
Is death. Romans 6:23.
00:24:21.72\00:24:23.19
We know that and
soon as there was sin,
00:24:23.22\00:24:25.56
there was what?
00:24:25.59\00:24:26.93
There was grace.
00:24:26.96\00:24:28.66
You ever hear that a
lot of times where grace,
00:24:28.70\00:24:30.90
New Testament Christians
were under grace, all grace.
00:24:30.93\00:24:33.74
Grace was instituted
00:24:33.77\00:24:35.10
as soon as there
was sin in the garden.
00:24:35.14\00:24:38.07
Come on somebody.
00:24:38.11\00:24:39.57
That rules out that argument
00:24:39.61\00:24:40.94
people say, oh,
we're under grace now,
00:24:40.98\00:24:42.81
we can do anything we wanna do.
00:24:42.84\00:24:44.25
Grace was instituted
as soon as there was sin.
00:24:44.28\00:24:46.65
The plan of salvation
00:24:46.68\00:24:48.02
was instituted and put
into as moment there was sin.
00:24:48.05\00:24:52.09
Plan of redemption
went right into action.
00:24:52.12\00:24:54.06
Praise God.
00:24:54.09\00:24:55.66
Clearly Revelation 13:8.
00:24:55.69\00:24:57.53
The Bible is clear on it.
00:24:57.56\00:24:58.89
It says,
00:24:58.93\00:25:00.26
"Here's the Lamb
00:25:00.30\00:25:01.63
slain from the
foundation of the world."
00:25:01.66\00:25:03.67
There was the
plan that was there.
00:25:03.70\00:25:05.07
God said, I know
what's going to happen,
00:25:05.10\00:25:06.84
but what I've been
accused of being what?
00:25:06.87\00:25:08.50
I've made a bunch
of robots as it were.
00:25:08.54\00:25:10.27
And I'm giving them
free choice decisions.
00:25:10.31\00:25:13.68
They can do what they wanna do.
00:25:13.71\00:25:15.04
I'll give Adam and Eve
00:25:15.08\00:25:16.41
everything that
they need in there.
00:25:16.44\00:25:17.78
They'll lack for nothing.
00:25:17.81\00:25:19.15
If they choose to do,
because they've chosen.
00:25:19.18\00:25:21.05
Could He have stopped
them? Yes, He could have.
00:25:21.08\00:25:23.79
But the devil would want to see,
00:25:23.82\00:25:25.15
you're exactly
what I said you were.
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.16
You just made,
00:25:27.19\00:25:29.02
you know, some people
00:25:29.06\00:25:30.53
and You've
programmed their mind under You,
00:25:30.56\00:25:32.69
not because they love
You, they're gonna do it
00:25:32.73\00:25:34.13
because that's the
way they're programmed.
00:25:34.16\00:25:36.16
You know what I'm talking about.
00:25:36.20\00:25:37.53
Where art thou?
00:25:40.84\00:25:42.17
The link between
heaven and earth,
00:25:45.37\00:25:47.78
between man and God was severed.
00:25:47.81\00:25:51.58
Something had to
bring it back together.
00:25:51.61\00:25:54.48
It had to be repaired.
00:25:54.52\00:25:56.42
And it started out,
00:25:56.45\00:25:57.79
the repair work
started out immediately,
00:25:57.82\00:25:59.89
where art thou?
00:25:59.92\00:26:03.73
Today, you know,
00:26:03.76\00:26:05.09
Christ is working
in the holy of holies
00:26:05.13\00:26:08.16
in the heavenly
sanctuary in our behalf.
00:26:08.20\00:26:14.14
We have guidance
from the Word of God.
00:26:14.17\00:26:17.27
Guidance from the
prophets was inspired to write,
00:26:17.31\00:26:20.91
but they too tell us
00:26:23.91\00:26:25.41
great changes are
taking place right now
00:26:25.45\00:26:28.48
and will take place.
00:26:28.52\00:26:30.89
And so it's not
just from the garden,
00:26:30.92\00:26:32.32
but from the garden as it were,
00:26:32.35\00:26:33.69
it goes right over to
here where we're at today.
00:26:33.72\00:26:38.53
At least to the time of trouble,
00:26:38.56\00:26:39.89
as we will know,
00:26:39.93\00:26:41.26
as never before Daniel 12,
00:26:41.30\00:26:42.63
we understand that
00:26:42.66\00:26:44.00
at least we say
we understand it.
00:26:44.03\00:26:45.90
A time of trouble.
00:26:45.93\00:26:47.27
If we understand it,
00:26:47.30\00:26:48.64
would we be
preparing the best we know how?
00:26:48.67\00:26:50.97
I feel like a failure sometimes.
00:26:51.01\00:26:54.68
I know the things
that we preach and we teach
00:26:54.71\00:26:56.44
and things are
going to come to pass,
00:26:56.48\00:26:59.11
I don't doubt at all.
00:26:59.15\00:27:01.92
But then we say, we're awful
00:27:01.95\00:27:03.28
busy doing all the
things that we're doing,
00:27:03.32\00:27:04.72
and there's no more time
left to make some preparations
00:27:04.75\00:27:07.76
that we can make now.
00:27:07.79\00:27:10.86
Now think about
how many people here
00:27:10.89\00:27:12.23
really are prepared.
00:27:12.26\00:27:15.66
Let's say when
the power shut off
00:27:15.70\00:27:17.03
or can't get your groceries.
00:27:17.07\00:27:19.23
And you know what
I'm talking about?
00:27:19.27\00:27:20.70
Things that sustain life.
00:27:20.74\00:27:24.14
He just showed
us not too long ago
00:27:24.17\00:27:25.91
what's happened
00:27:25.94\00:27:27.28
when the economy
shuts down a little bit
00:27:27.31\00:27:29.38
or a health,
00:27:29.41\00:27:30.85
you know, pandemic,
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.81
oh, all this just
happens, isn't that right?
00:27:32.85\00:27:34.95
About two or three
days, the shelves were bare.
00:27:34.98\00:27:37.09
Oh, what are we going to do?
00:27:42.06\00:27:44.39
There's no paper towels.
00:27:44.43\00:27:47.46
I just doubt.
00:27:47.50\00:27:48.83
I shouted that
louder than anybody,
00:27:48.86\00:27:50.57
where's the paper towels?
00:27:50.60\00:27:54.57
Where's the tissue?
00:27:54.60\00:27:56.24
Come on somebody.
00:27:56.27\00:27:57.64
It's true.
00:27:57.67\00:28:00.11
But then it's kind of
slowly bounced back a little bit
00:28:00.14\00:28:02.51
and it's on the shelf.
00:28:02.54\00:28:03.88
And now we haven't done a thing
just like it was before this,
00:28:03.91\00:28:07.48
but God's just showing us
00:28:07.52\00:28:08.85
it can happen
and it will happen.
00:28:08.88\00:28:10.32
And how you're going to
react, how am I going to react?
00:28:10.35\00:28:14.99
God is calling a people
He wants to respond today.
00:28:15.02\00:28:17.73
He says, "Where art
thou? Where are you today?"
00:28:17.76\00:28:20.20
Are you desiring and striving
00:28:20.23\00:28:22.70
with all that's in by
the power of the Holy Spirit
00:28:22.73\00:28:26.00
to respond to the call
when He says, where are you?
00:28:26.03\00:28:30.14
Here I am Lord.
00:28:30.17\00:28:32.17
Lord you know, I'm here.
00:28:32.21\00:28:35.14
I wanna serve You.
00:28:35.18\00:28:37.61
I want that robe
of righteousness,
00:28:37.65\00:28:40.42
the robe of righteous,
00:28:40.45\00:28:41.78
which the parents, right?
00:28:41.82\00:28:43.15
Our first parents
left in the garden.
00:28:43.18\00:28:46.52
Did we get that?
00:28:46.55\00:28:48.76
What did they have on,
what was their clothes?
00:28:48.79\00:28:52.09
Yeah, notice it was
that robe of righteousness
00:28:52.13\00:28:55.96
that, yeah, the white
light, the glory of God,
00:28:56.00\00:29:00.04
they were
covered, were they not?
00:29:00.07\00:29:01.47
And when sin
come, boom, it was gone.
00:29:01.50\00:29:03.27
Where's our world headed?
00:29:06.57\00:29:07.91
Are we hiding today
00:29:11.45\00:29:14.28
as Christians, as Seventh-day
Adventist Christians,
00:29:14.32\00:29:16.45
are we hiding
00:29:16.48\00:29:17.82
from what we
should be doing today?
00:29:17.85\00:29:19.19
But doing many other
things is keeping us busy,
00:29:19.22\00:29:20.86
but maybe not what God
would have us to be doing.
00:29:20.89\00:29:24.53
We've talked about the,
00:29:24.56\00:29:25.89
you know, we've talked
about the world economic forum.
00:29:25.93\00:29:27.56
We've talked
about the great reset,
00:29:27.60\00:29:30.00
but it seems like
people still don't get it.
00:29:30.03\00:29:32.90
You could talk about
it every week just like,
00:29:32.93\00:29:34.74
you know, 120
years of the same sermon,
00:29:34.77\00:29:38.54
it's gonna flood, right?
00:29:38.57\00:29:39.91
It's gonna rain.
00:29:39.94\00:29:41.58
Very few made that transition,
00:29:41.61\00:29:45.98
the reset, we say,
we're going to start over.
00:29:46.01\00:29:47.92
If you can't see that
we're in that phase right now
00:29:47.95\00:29:51.25
that there are a group of people
00:29:51.29\00:29:52.62
who want this world
to start over as it were.
00:29:52.65\00:29:55.56
They don't want it like it was,
00:29:55.59\00:29:57.73
they don't like all the history,
00:29:57.76\00:29:59.09
don't like a lot of
different things, you know?
00:29:59.13\00:30:00.46
But, and it could be
just a small little group
00:30:00.50\00:30:02.26
is changing the world.
00:30:02.30\00:30:04.47
Why? Because we
won't do anything about it.
00:30:04.50\00:30:06.33
We won't stand up
maybe for our own,
00:30:06.37\00:30:09.14
what we believe is right.
00:30:09.17\00:30:12.31
Yeah.
00:30:12.34\00:30:13.68
It's a tough situation,
but we're being challenged.
00:30:13.71\00:30:16.91
And God's saying,
where are you right now?
00:30:16.95\00:30:18.78
Do you understand this message?
00:30:18.81\00:30:22.58
Or are we asleep
maybe at the wheel?
00:30:22.62\00:30:27.56
We know that the great reset,
we understand the great reset.
00:30:27.59\00:30:31.06
That's a global
political economic control.
00:30:31.09\00:30:33.90
We see it by the Marxist
00:30:36.90\00:30:38.60
totalitarian
regime or socialism.
00:30:38.63\00:30:41.27
If we don't see that it's taken
00:30:41.30\00:30:42.64
and you mention now, people say,
00:30:42.67\00:30:44.01
whoa, lest you know,
we can't talk about that.
00:30:44.04\00:30:46.34
You must because it's happening.
00:30:46.37\00:30:49.01
Is it not?
00:30:49.04\00:30:51.31
It's happening and
that makes a difference.
00:30:51.35\00:30:56.42
Bible prophecy
indicates as the man of sin
00:30:56.45\00:31:00.09
is moving forward and
doing all that he can do
00:31:00.12\00:31:04.09
is to simply get
rid of God's people.
00:31:04.13\00:31:06.13
We call it the new
world order. Do we not?
00:31:09.13\00:31:12.23
Are we ashamed
to say that anymore?
00:31:12.27\00:31:14.54
No, we should say it.
00:31:14.57\00:31:15.90
But a lot of people
they don't wanna hear
00:31:15.94\00:31:17.27
the new world order
00:31:17.31\00:31:19.21
because they say
it's a conspiracy theory,
00:31:19.24\00:31:23.71
but they've been
saying that for years.
00:31:23.75\00:31:26.65
And we see it a
lot of this stuff,
00:31:26.68\00:31:28.02
we see reading the Bible,
00:31:28.05\00:31:29.38
it's coming to pass
before our very eyes.
00:31:29.42\00:31:31.02
But sometime we just
don't wanna talk about it.
00:31:31.05\00:31:33.25
God is looking for a
people who will live out
00:31:37.96\00:31:42.46
what they understand is
truth and righteousness,
00:31:42.50\00:31:46.90
that when He and
if He should call
00:31:46.94\00:31:48.47
and say, where art thou?
00:31:48.50\00:31:49.87
What will we say?
00:31:49.90\00:31:51.24
How will we respond?
00:31:51.27\00:31:52.61
People will talk about and say,
we shouldn't be talking about,
00:31:57.31\00:32:00.42
you know, vaccines
00:32:00.45\00:32:02.75
or we shouldn't
be talking about,
00:32:02.78\00:32:04.12
you know,
verifications of vaccine
00:32:04.15\00:32:05.92
or we shouldn't be talking
about travel health visas,
00:32:05.95\00:32:09.42
or any of that kind of stuff.
00:32:09.46\00:32:11.13
But it's taking place
right now before our very eyes.
00:32:11.16\00:32:16.20
It's not just gossip.
00:32:16.23\00:32:18.53
It's real McCoy.
00:32:18.57\00:32:19.90
Before you, I mean,
we've heard it threatened
00:32:24.57\00:32:26.37
time and time again.
00:32:26.41\00:32:27.74
Have we not?
00:32:27.78\00:32:29.11
Before we can work
or before we travel,
00:32:29.14\00:32:33.05
before we get on
the bus, as it were,
00:32:33.08\00:32:35.28
before we go to school,
00:32:35.32\00:32:38.22
you have to be vaccinated.
00:32:38.25\00:32:41.26
Now say, well, it's
not mandatory at all.
00:32:41.29\00:32:43.63
That sounds
pretty mandatory to me.
00:32:43.66\00:32:47.40
It wouldn't have to be a law.
00:32:47.43\00:32:49.43
One government
officials said one time,
00:32:49.46\00:32:50.80
we don't have to make it
00:32:50.83\00:32:52.17
a law itself has
got to be vaccinated
00:32:52.20\00:32:53.90
because it will
be such a position
00:32:53.94\00:32:55.80
that every store owner,
00:32:55.84\00:32:57.17
every place of business
00:32:57.21\00:32:58.54
will make it
mandatory that you do it,
00:32:58.57\00:33:01.01
or you can't go in.
00:33:01.04\00:33:02.61
Is there some today?
00:33:02.64\00:33:05.48
I went to a store
just the other day,
00:33:05.51\00:33:07.52
I didn't get
three feet in there.
00:33:07.55\00:33:10.12
Got three feet through the door.
00:33:10.15\00:33:11.49
"Where's your mask?"
00:33:11.52\00:33:12.85
I said, "I don't have one.
I didn't brought, bring one."
00:33:12.89\00:33:15.56
They said, that's why
we got the box over there
00:33:15.59\00:33:17.09
for people like you.
00:33:17.13\00:33:20.00
So if I wanted
to go any farther,
00:33:20.03\00:33:21.36
I need to get me a
little mask and put it on.
00:33:21.40\00:33:23.13
Yeah.
00:33:26.80\00:33:28.14
It's kinda like mandatory
a little bit in it, I mean.
00:33:31.31\00:33:35.94
But I'm saying that,
00:33:35.98\00:33:37.31
yeah, there's things
here that we need to look at.
00:33:37.35\00:33:41.55
Travel.
00:33:41.58\00:33:42.92
Your travel health
visas have already begin
00:33:42.95\00:33:46.25
initiated in many
countries right now.
00:33:46.29\00:33:48.22
And it seemed
like here it's like,
00:33:48.26\00:33:49.69
we're in denial of it,
00:33:49.72\00:33:51.06
but we should not be.
00:33:51.09\00:33:53.19
That simply means that
00:33:53.23\00:33:54.56
a person must pass a COVID test.
00:33:54.60\00:33:57.07
You have to be negative
00:33:57.10\00:33:58.43
and some of you had
COVID and taking the test
00:33:58.47\00:34:00.20
and we've had it two
or three times at least
00:34:00.24\00:34:04.01
before we're allowed to
go into another country.
00:34:04.04\00:34:07.54
But this world is messed up
00:34:07.58\00:34:09.71
because we'd have to have it,
00:34:09.74\00:34:11.08
you know, the test before
we go into another country.
00:34:11.11\00:34:13.18
But yet we're letting
people in by the thousands
00:34:13.21\00:34:15.08
that have COVID.
00:34:15.12\00:34:18.55
Yeah, I'm not
trying to be judgmental
00:34:18.59\00:34:20.06
and condemn it.
00:34:20.09\00:34:21.42
And maybe I don't
understand it all,
00:34:21.46\00:34:22.89
but that doesn't sound right.
00:34:22.92\00:34:25.39
Are we really
operating as it were,
00:34:25.43\00:34:27.53
you know, with,
let's say a full deck
00:34:27.56\00:34:32.13
when you demand
it of your own people
00:34:32.17\00:34:34.47
and you can't go anyplace.
00:34:34.50\00:34:37.01
Before we went
out of the country
00:34:37.04\00:34:38.37
just about two
months ago, six weeks ago,
00:34:38.41\00:34:40.68
we had to have
the test, COVID test
00:34:40.71\00:34:42.81
to make sure we were all
right to go somewhere else.
00:34:42.84\00:34:45.08
After we got
where we were going,
00:34:45.11\00:34:46.85
five days there you went
and you took another test.
00:34:46.88\00:34:49.95
Wow.
00:34:49.98\00:34:51.32
Before you could
leave after, you know.
00:34:51.35\00:34:53.76
We're witnesses to these things.
00:34:53.79\00:34:55.39
And we even watched
00:34:58.43\00:34:59.76
while we were in
the other country,
00:34:59.79\00:35:01.13
we watched the
scroll across the news
00:35:01.16\00:35:02.50
that new laws
were being discussed.
00:35:02.53\00:35:05.63
New laws were what?
00:35:05.67\00:35:07.04
Being discussed,
00:35:07.07\00:35:08.40
requiring mandatory vaccinations
00:35:08.44\00:35:10.44
before one can leave the country
00:35:10.47\00:35:12.54
in the near future.
00:35:12.57\00:35:16.44
Some people start
holding a whole conspiracy.
00:35:16.48\00:35:17.81
Oh, that's not writ.
00:35:17.85\00:35:19.58
Have you not heard all of that?
00:35:19.61\00:35:21.65
They may just be
talking, maybe discussion.
00:35:21.68\00:35:23.79
They're throwing out there.
00:35:23.82\00:35:25.15
As the president
said, not too long ago,
00:35:25.19\00:35:27.02
he said, let's kind
of keep this all together
00:35:27.06\00:35:28.82
because I'd hate to what?
00:35:28.86\00:35:30.69
Shut things down again,
00:35:30.73\00:35:32.09
something like
that, what the words?
00:35:32.13\00:35:34.60
Yeah.
00:35:34.63\00:35:35.96
I hate kind of shut down again.
00:35:36.00\00:35:38.17
In other words he's telling us
00:35:38.20\00:35:39.53
if it don't go the
way they want it to go,
00:35:39.57\00:35:41.27
he'll shut down again.
00:35:41.30\00:35:43.17
After they said,
there'll be a first
00:35:43.20\00:35:44.54
and then there'd be a
second and a third wave.
00:35:44.57\00:35:45.97
We're seeing all these things.
00:35:46.01\00:35:47.58
So don't want you to
get excited about it.
00:35:47.61\00:35:49.14
You just say, "Hey, let's
look at this thing carefully."
00:35:49.18\00:35:51.61
The things that we discussed
six, seven, eight months ago
00:35:56.72\00:36:00.62
were said conspiracy theory.
00:36:00.66\00:36:02.26
And much of it it's
come to pass already.
00:36:02.29\00:36:04.36
Hmm.
00:36:04.39\00:36:06.73
We could go on
and on about talking,
00:36:06.76\00:36:08.56
you know, about things
that's going on right now.
00:36:08.60\00:36:10.67
We could talk about
the destruction of cities
00:36:10.70\00:36:13.17
because again, God's
going to be calling, don't He?
00:36:13.20\00:36:15.27
He's gonna be
calling, where art thou?
00:36:15.30\00:36:17.87
Destruction of the churches
and the capital buildings
00:36:17.91\00:36:20.28
and police
precincts and the monuments
00:36:20.31\00:36:23.31
and the loss of our
constitutional rights
00:36:23.35\00:36:26.82
in the name of
health lawlessness
00:36:26.85\00:36:31.42
continued speeches to take,
00:36:31.45\00:36:33.12
you know, sitting right here,
00:36:33.15\00:36:34.49
take our right to bear arms away
00:36:34.52\00:36:36.83
from its citizens.
00:36:36.86\00:36:40.80
The talk of, the
talk, we're talking about,
00:36:40.83\00:36:42.66
talk of moving
away from our currency
00:36:42.70\00:36:44.80
as we now know it.
00:36:44.83\00:36:47.74
Hmm.
00:36:47.77\00:36:50.61
To go to a total
digital currency,
00:36:50.64\00:36:53.88
will it happen only God knows,
00:36:53.91\00:36:55.61
but there's
going to be something
00:36:55.64\00:36:56.98
where a man will not
be able to buy or sell
00:36:57.01\00:36:58.51
say if he had the mark.
00:36:58.55\00:37:02.45
Why not look at these things
and just throw them out there.
00:37:02.48\00:37:04.95
If I'm up here saying
00:37:04.99\00:37:06.32
this is exactly
what's gonna happen,
00:37:06.35\00:37:07.69
blah, blah.
00:37:07.72\00:37:09.06
I'm suggesting, I'm
throwing things out to say
00:37:09.09\00:37:11.13
these are possibilities
and they can be used
00:37:11.16\00:37:13.76
and look what they
did in two weeks time.
00:37:13.80\00:37:16.06
But what was February
and March when it started.
00:37:16.10\00:37:19.07
It sounds exactly
like the WEC goals.
00:37:19.10\00:37:22.54
We're all economic
00:37:22.57\00:37:24.07
as they got together
and discussed these things
00:37:24.11\00:37:26.51
and they laid them things
out and they did it in print.
00:37:26.54\00:37:28.88
And it sounds like
it's coming to pass.
00:37:28.91\00:37:32.08
Of course, we're more
worried about the spiritual.
00:37:32.11\00:37:34.02
Are we not?
00:37:34.05\00:37:35.98
The spiritual aspect of it.
00:37:36.02\00:37:37.49
We know all of these
things are going to come about
00:37:37.52\00:37:39.55
because the devil has targeted
a small little group of people
00:37:39.59\00:37:42.59
who keep the
commandments of God,
00:37:42.62\00:37:46.36
who keep the
commandments of God.
00:37:46.39\00:37:47.96
You are targeted.
00:37:48.00\00:37:51.40
No, we don't want, I
know we don't wanna hear it.
00:37:51.43\00:37:53.54
I can't help, but say
it time and time again,
00:37:53.57\00:37:55.50
so that you know,
so that you hear it.
00:37:55.54\00:37:57.44
So you live it
and you breathe it.
00:37:57.47\00:38:01.54
I hear it in my
ears ringing all the time
00:38:01.58\00:38:05.61
you know, I lose a lot of sleep.
00:38:05.65\00:38:10.45
As soon my eyes open up
these thoughts come back in.
00:38:10.49\00:38:12.95
I want to
believe the Holy Spirit,
00:38:12.99\00:38:14.32
these are things that
need to be brought out.
00:38:14.36\00:38:15.69
These are things, what?
00:38:15.72\00:38:17.06
Continue to warn my
people, continue to warn them.
00:38:17.09\00:38:19.79
The things that's
coming upon them as what?
00:38:19.83\00:38:21.90
Almost overwhelming surprise.
00:38:21.93\00:38:24.23
And they shouldn't be,
00:38:24.27\00:38:25.70
we should not be
surprised at any of this,
00:38:25.73\00:38:28.14
but we're going to be
00:38:28.17\00:38:29.50
if the preachers, the
teachers and everybody else
00:38:29.54\00:38:30.94
doesn't bring
some of these things up
00:38:30.97\00:38:32.31
from time to time
00:38:32.34\00:38:33.68
and talk about them.
00:38:33.71\00:38:36.98
My!
00:38:37.01\00:38:38.35
If we look at the purpose of,
00:38:38.38\00:38:39.71
they're talking
now, tax increases.
00:38:39.75\00:38:41.52
Lord have mercy we
don't need any more.
00:38:41.55\00:38:44.55
Is it okay to say it?
00:38:44.59\00:38:45.92
I'm up here begging, I
guess, no, please don't.
00:38:45.95\00:38:49.92
Talking about more
00:38:49.96\00:38:52.69
and they're just printing
and printing and printing
00:38:52.73\00:38:54.80
and you know why?
00:38:54.83\00:38:56.16
They don't have the answers.
00:38:56.20\00:38:57.53
And then they said,
00:38:57.57\00:38:58.90
well, we're going to
rejoin the Paris agreement.
00:38:58.93\00:39:00.84
The green new deal
cost trillions of dollars.
00:39:00.87\00:39:05.74
And that's what
you will see in there
00:39:05.77\00:39:07.31
it will be easily
produced a Sunday law,
00:39:07.34\00:39:11.71
put it down.
00:39:11.75\00:39:13.48
It can easily where
God sees fit or whatever.
00:39:13.52\00:39:16.58
That's all in
agreement with the pope
00:39:16.62\00:39:18.65
as we well know, Laudato si'.
00:39:18.69\00:39:21.29
Very simple here,
00:39:21.32\00:39:22.79
just one day off and
it needs to be Sunday.
00:39:22.82\00:39:24.89
There's no doubt about it.
00:39:24.93\00:39:27.90
I don't mean to
just beat and bang,
00:39:27.93\00:39:29.30
but I'm telling
you, I just sense it.
00:39:29.33\00:39:31.43
And I see it, I pray you do too.
00:39:31.47\00:39:35.17
Yeah, absolutely. They want us.
00:39:35.20\00:39:36.60
Yeah,
absolutely. Who's in charge?
00:39:36.64\00:39:40.94
And after rescinding
the Keystone XL pipeline,
00:39:40.98\00:39:43.58
you remember all
the thousands of jobs,
00:39:43.61\00:39:45.61
you know,
00:39:45.65\00:39:47.12
but now we're
gonna be back to what?
00:39:47.15\00:39:49.02
Our oil,
00:39:49.05\00:39:50.39
we're not going to have
oil independence anymore.
00:39:50.42\00:39:52.15
We finally came to that point
where the gas prices were down
00:39:52.19\00:39:54.62
and they were
going to stay down.
00:39:54.66\00:39:56.12
And in 60 days
00:39:56.16\00:39:57.49
they went up like 90
cents a gallon already.
00:39:57.53\00:39:59.33
You have 20 to 30
gallons think about it,
00:40:02.63\00:40:04.43
that's a lot of money
every time you feel up.
00:40:04.47\00:40:06.53
Man.
00:40:10.77\00:40:14.21
Hmm.
00:40:14.24\00:40:16.68
I mean, this is
just some of the plan,
00:40:16.71\00:40:18.08
the larger part of it.
00:40:18.11\00:40:19.45
We talk about
the new world order.
00:40:19.48\00:40:21.45
Things are changing.
00:40:21.48\00:40:22.82
Why?
00:40:22.85\00:40:25.52
Listen to Matthew 24:32-33.
00:40:25.55\00:40:29.99
Matthew 24:32-33.
00:40:30.03\00:40:31.99
Come on church,
let's go here now.
00:40:32.03\00:40:34.10
It says, "Now learn
the parable of what?
00:40:34.13\00:40:36.06
The fig tree,
00:40:36.10\00:40:38.03
when his branch is yet
tender and putteth forth," what?
00:40:38.07\00:40:42.27
"Putteth forth leaves,"
00:40:42.30\00:40:43.64
good, "ye know
that summer is," what?
00:40:43.67\00:40:46.07
When the fig leaf does what?
00:40:46.11\00:40:47.64
When the figs, the
leaves come out on the tree,
00:40:47.68\00:40:49.54
you know what?
00:40:49.58\00:40:51.38
The summer's nigh.
00:40:51.41\00:40:52.75
When you see what's
happening in the world today,
00:40:52.78\00:40:54.28
lift up your head, your
redemption draweth nigh.
00:40:54.32\00:40:56.95
When you see what's
happening in the world today,
00:40:56.99\00:40:58.69
don't say it can't happen.
00:40:58.72\00:41:01.16
Surely we've seen
enough already to realize
00:41:01.19\00:41:03.59
that the most weird things,
00:41:03.63\00:41:06.06
difficult things
are going to happen,
00:41:06.09\00:41:08.00
which we say can't
happen in this country.
00:41:08.03\00:41:09.76
You've already seen it
happened around the world.
00:41:09.80\00:41:14.30
So just don't doubt
it, whatever it might be.
00:41:19.24\00:41:21.44
It may not be this right now.
00:41:21.48\00:41:22.81
It may not be that right now,
00:41:22.84\00:41:24.18
but there's gonna be some things
00:41:24.21\00:41:25.55
that's gonna bring
this world into upheaval
00:41:25.58\00:41:26.92
that can never be
straightened out again
00:41:26.95\00:41:28.82
till the coming of Jesus Christ.
00:41:28.85\00:41:31.59
Know that summer is
nigh, verse 33, Matthew 24.
00:41:31.62\00:41:35.66
"So likewise, when
you shall see all,"
00:41:35.69\00:41:38.73
how many?
00:41:38.76\00:41:40.20
"All of these things
know that it is near,
00:41:40.23\00:41:43.77
even at the door."
00:41:43.80\00:41:45.50
What's wrong with preaching
00:41:45.53\00:41:46.94
that it's near,
even at the door.
00:41:46.97\00:41:50.21
Do you realize that the people
who will not want to hear,
00:41:50.24\00:41:52.67
it's near even at the door.
00:41:52.71\00:41:54.81
They'll think it's too harsh.
00:41:54.84\00:41:56.71
They'll think we
should be talking about
00:41:56.75\00:41:58.11
how to make cookies.
00:41:58.15\00:41:59.51
You know what I'm talking about.
00:42:03.32\00:42:04.65
Instead the house is on fire.
00:42:08.46\00:42:10.86
Call for help or get out.
00:42:15.30\00:42:17.10
Notice all these things.
00:42:21.60\00:42:23.14
Know it's near,
even at the door.
00:42:23.17\00:42:24.84
This quote, there,
00:42:24.87\00:42:26.21
Counsels of the
Church, page 37, paragraph one.
00:42:26.24\00:42:30.08
We know this.
We've read it many times.
00:42:30.11\00:42:32.11
Let's read it again
because it makes sense.
00:42:32.15\00:42:34.68
We are living in
the time of the end.
00:42:34.72\00:42:36.89
Now remember
when this was written,
00:42:36.92\00:42:38.59
that's 150 years ago.
00:42:38.62\00:42:41.12
Are we not closer to the end now
00:42:41.16\00:42:42.49
than we were then?
00:42:42.52\00:42:43.86
Absolutely we are.
00:42:43.89\00:42:45.23
It's like, we
can't understand it.
00:42:45.26\00:42:47.96
God in His mercy is allowing it
to play out a little bit longer
00:42:48.00\00:42:52.00
because this
message has to go where?
00:42:52.03\00:42:54.57
To all the world,
00:42:54.60\00:42:55.94
and you have to go in
00:42:55.97\00:42:57.31
and you have to
expose the wine of Babylon.
00:42:57.34\00:43:00.54
You've got to
expose all of those things,
00:43:00.58\00:43:04.41
but man of sin is
going to be revealed.
00:43:04.45\00:43:06.31
Do you remember that?
That's what the Bible says.
00:43:06.35\00:43:07.85
And when you go to
reveal the man of sin,
00:43:07.88\00:43:09.48
all of a sudden, oh,
it's a little bit too hurtful.
00:43:09.52\00:43:11.55
Hmm.
00:43:11.59\00:43:14.26
Boy.
00:43:14.29\00:43:17.19
We're living at
the time of the end.
00:43:17.23\00:43:18.56
The fast
fulfilling signs of the time
00:43:18.59\00:43:20.03
declare the coming of
Christ is near at hand.
00:43:20.06\00:43:22.53
That makes sense.
00:43:22.56\00:43:24.10
We just read it in
Matthew 24. Did we not?
00:43:24.13\00:43:27.24
"The days in which we
live are solemn and important."
00:43:27.27\00:43:30.97
We don't have time
to be dallying around.
00:43:31.01\00:43:33.94
We don't have plenty of time.
00:43:33.98\00:43:35.31
It's probably just like
will we have anything else?
00:43:35.34\00:43:36.85
These are solemn
and important time.
00:43:36.88\00:43:39.11
And the enemy is trying
to get us to waste our time
00:43:39.15\00:43:42.15
on something
that doesn't matter.
00:43:42.18\00:43:43.82
It may not be bad within itself,
00:43:43.85\00:43:45.35
but it's just a waste of time.
00:43:45.39\00:43:47.89
That's why the
Bible says sometime,
00:43:47.92\00:43:49.26
remember he said,
let your yes be yes
00:43:49.29\00:43:50.63
and nays nay.
00:43:50.66\00:43:52.46
We can get in
conversation sometimes
00:43:52.49\00:43:53.83
that lasts one or
two and three hours
00:43:53.86\00:43:55.20
and we don't get
anywhere with it.
00:43:55.23\00:43:57.33
Everybody's just
dead set the way they were
00:43:57.37\00:43:59.10
when they
started the conversation,
00:43:59.13\00:44:00.54
wherein they say, yeah,
okay, well, and move on.
00:44:00.57\00:44:04.01
Because you only
have so many hours.
00:44:04.04\00:44:05.91
I only have so many hours.
00:44:05.94\00:44:08.34
Solemn and important.
00:44:08.38\00:44:09.71
Notice, we know that
00:44:09.74\00:44:11.08
the Spirit of God
has been gradually, what?
00:44:11.11\00:44:13.58
Withdrawn from the
earth, plagues and judgments
00:44:13.62\00:44:16.05
are already falling
00:44:16.08\00:44:17.49
in the despisers
of the grace of God.
00:44:17.52\00:44:20.56
And we know this over and over,
00:44:20.59\00:44:21.92
calamities by
land and sea and air,
00:44:21.96\00:44:23.66
isn't that right?
00:44:23.69\00:44:25.03
Did we see those things happen?
00:44:25.06\00:44:26.39
Notice the
unsettled state of society.
00:44:26.43\00:44:29.23
I put that in red, the
unsettled state of what?
00:44:29.26\00:44:32.57
If the society
was anymore unsettled,
00:44:32.60\00:44:33.94
I'll tell you.
00:44:33.97\00:44:35.30
I've never seen it.
00:44:35.34\00:44:36.67
It's really unsettled right now.
00:44:36.71\00:44:38.04
It's really unsettled right now.
00:44:38.07\00:44:39.77
It's really unsettled right now.
00:44:39.81\00:44:42.01
It's falling apart
00:44:42.04\00:44:44.85
and we're trying
to use band-aids.
00:44:44.88\00:44:46.21
We're trying to
print more money.
00:44:46.25\00:44:47.58
We're trying to put
everybody else in debt
00:44:47.62\00:44:48.95
and tell you you're
not going to be able to,
00:44:48.98\00:44:50.32
it's gonna demand
something happened
00:44:50.35\00:44:52.42
because we're not gonna pay
00:44:52.45\00:44:53.79
even the interest
on our national debt.
00:44:53.82\00:44:56.83
Something has to be
done. Come on, church.
00:44:56.86\00:44:58.19
You see what I'm saying?
00:44:58.23\00:44:59.56
I'm not trying to say,
well now there's not much.
00:44:59.59\00:45:00.93
No something's big
is about to happen.
00:45:00.96\00:45:03.77
That's how you
and I should be living
00:45:03.80\00:45:05.73
in these last
hours of earth history.
00:45:05.77\00:45:07.50
Something big is
about to break loose.
00:45:07.54\00:45:10.34
And where are you going to fit?
00:45:10.37\00:45:11.71
Where am I going to fit,
00:45:11.74\00:45:13.07
where God would have me to fit
00:45:13.11\00:45:14.48
the unsettled state of what?
00:45:14.51\00:45:16.24
Society.
00:45:16.28\00:45:17.91
Notice it and the alarm of war,
00:45:17.95\00:45:19.61
people are still
talking about wars,
00:45:19.65\00:45:20.98
still waging,
who's going to do what,
00:45:21.02\00:45:22.52
if somebody happened to attack
00:45:22.55\00:45:24.12
much more than you and I,
00:45:24.15\00:45:25.49
much more than
they're letting out right now.
00:45:25.52\00:45:28.36
There's heavy duty talk.
00:45:28.39\00:45:31.13
The Bible said
there would be wars
00:45:31.16\00:45:32.56
and rumors of war,
00:45:32.59\00:45:33.93
there's wars going on right now,
00:45:33.96\00:45:35.30
as we well know,
00:45:35.33\00:45:36.67
there has been
for umpteen years.
00:45:36.70\00:45:38.03
The forecast, it
says of approaching events
00:45:41.50\00:45:44.77
of the greatest magnitude.
00:45:44.81\00:45:47.08
Now, what if you
don't talk about them?
00:45:47.11\00:45:49.11
What if I don't talk about them?
00:45:49.14\00:45:53.11
At least say these
things are going to happen
00:45:53.15\00:45:54.98
that we may put
our house in order.
00:45:55.02\00:45:59.65
Church, that we
might put our what?
00:45:59.69\00:46:02.49
Our house in order.
00:46:02.52\00:46:03.96
You say, "Well, I don't
know if I need to do that,"
00:46:03.99\00:46:05.33
you know.
00:46:05.36\00:46:06.70
We need to put
our house in order.
00:46:06.73\00:46:09.40
We need to find out
00:46:09.43\00:46:11.57
why, because,
Brother Mark, I believe
00:46:11.60\00:46:13.44
we've been warned
over and over and over.
00:46:13.47\00:46:15.40
And I've said it a thousand,
00:46:15.44\00:46:16.81
it seemed like thousands of time
00:46:16.84\00:46:18.57
over and over and over.
00:46:18.61\00:46:19.94
But yet what is it
really driven me to do?
00:46:19.97\00:46:22.14
It's just words.
00:46:26.35\00:46:27.68
If we don't do
something about it,
00:46:27.72\00:46:29.22
is that true?
00:46:29.25\00:46:30.59
It's just talk.
00:46:30.62\00:46:32.65
We're praying about it.
00:46:32.69\00:46:34.02
We say well,
maybe that's an excuse.
00:46:34.06\00:46:36.16
Well, we've been praying about,
00:46:36.19\00:46:37.53
it's been on the
altar for a long time.
00:46:37.56\00:46:38.89
Well, we really mean it.
00:46:38.93\00:46:40.26
A lot of people
may be really mean it,
00:46:40.30\00:46:41.63
but they're no closer
00:46:41.66\00:46:44.17
than they were a long time ago,
00:46:44.20\00:46:45.53
but we need to prepare
00:46:45.57\00:46:50.17
for what's happening
now, what's taking place.
00:46:50.21\00:46:53.07
Counsel for the
Church, 37, paragraph two,
00:46:53.11\00:46:55.14
"The agency of evil
are combining their forces
00:46:55.18\00:46:57.68
and consolidating."
00:46:57.71\00:47:00.15
What's the enemy doing?
00:47:00.18\00:47:02.28
Thank you.
00:47:02.32\00:47:03.65
They're combining their forces.
00:47:03.69\00:47:05.02
Even the enemy knows
he can do more damage
00:47:05.05\00:47:07.69
as they consolidate and
work shoulder to shoulder.
00:47:07.72\00:47:10.19
We as a church
hasn't figured that out yet.
00:47:10.23\00:47:13.46
Think about it.
00:47:13.50\00:47:14.83
We haven't really
figured it out yet
00:47:14.86\00:47:17.30
that we need to be unified
00:47:17.33\00:47:19.93
in the truth of God's Word
00:47:19.97\00:47:21.30
and stand shoulder to shoulder.
00:47:21.34\00:47:23.51
And don't let a small
little group of people say,
00:47:23.54\00:47:25.14
well, this is not right.
00:47:25.17\00:47:26.51
Or we don't want to hear that.
00:47:26.54\00:47:27.88
You realize,
00:47:27.91\00:47:29.24
I said, just the
other day on the program,
00:47:29.28\00:47:30.61
we are a minority.
00:47:30.65\00:47:32.78
You'll say, well,
your skin doesn't show.
00:47:32.81\00:47:34.22
You are a minority.
00:47:34.25\00:47:35.95
I have been a minority
00:47:35.98\00:47:37.32
ever since I can
remember at this age.
00:47:37.35\00:47:39.82
And why?
00:47:39.85\00:47:41.19
Because I belong
00:47:41.22\00:47:42.56
to the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:47:42.59\00:47:43.93
that is a minority.
00:47:43.96\00:47:45.66
Thirty million Seventh-day
Adventist around the world
00:47:45.69\00:47:48.03
compared to about
7 billion that's not.
00:47:48.06\00:47:51.43
Have I made a point?
00:47:51.47\00:47:52.80
Maybe I actually
have made the point.
00:47:52.83\00:47:55.84
It's a minority.
00:47:55.87\00:47:57.21
History proves what
happens to minorities
00:48:00.78\00:48:03.95
in a lot of cases,
00:48:03.98\00:48:05.31
as we well know,
especially at the end of time.
00:48:05.35\00:48:08.32
For Jesus they looked at Him
00:48:08.35\00:48:09.68
and said, man,
00:48:09.72\00:48:11.05
He's really preaching a message.
00:48:11.09\00:48:12.42
He's gathering
a group of people,
00:48:12.45\00:48:13.79
they're following Him.
00:48:13.82\00:48:15.16
And the high priest said what?
00:48:15.19\00:48:16.52
Notice, the church said,
00:48:16.56\00:48:20.20
I, maybe I should get
panel, but just sit down.
00:48:20.23\00:48:21.96
The high priest, see,
it's not trying to be ugly.
00:48:25.47\00:48:27.34
It's just said the high priest
00:48:27.37\00:48:28.70
was he not, as he say,
speaking for the church
00:48:28.74\00:48:30.87
as it were back then, yes.
00:48:30.91\00:48:34.28
He said, we need to basically
get rid of Him, don't we?
00:48:34.31\00:48:37.15
He said, it's better
for one to perish, right?
00:48:37.18\00:48:41.22
Than the whole.
00:48:41.25\00:48:42.58
So other words,
get rid of the...
00:48:42.62\00:48:43.95
If it's just a small group here
00:48:43.99\00:48:45.32
and they're causing problem,
00:48:45.35\00:48:46.69
better to get rid
of a little group,
00:48:46.72\00:48:48.06
than for all of us to suffer.
00:48:48.09\00:48:49.42
That's coming.
00:48:49.46\00:48:50.79
It happened before
it's gonna happen again.
00:48:50.83\00:48:52.16
They're strengthening
for the last great crisis.
00:48:55.50\00:48:58.70
Great changes are
soon to take place.
00:48:58.73\00:49:00.30
And we know the final
movements will be what?
00:49:00.34\00:49:02.74
Rapid ones.
00:49:02.77\00:49:04.11
I want you to
hear that so many times
00:49:04.14\00:49:05.47
that you hear in your sleep,
00:49:05.51\00:49:07.01
when you wake up,
00:49:07.04\00:49:08.38
I'm gonna be praying
when you wake up at night,
00:49:08.41\00:49:09.74
you hear these last moments
that are gonna be rapid ones,
00:49:09.78\00:49:11.88
these movements will be so rapid
00:49:11.91\00:49:13.75
and they're happening so quick,
00:49:13.78\00:49:15.18
things that we
see everyday happen.
00:49:15.22\00:49:16.75
That's prophecy being
fulfilled before our very eyes.
00:49:16.79\00:49:20.62
It seems like to me,
how much time do we have?
00:49:20.66\00:49:22.49
I forgot to look when I started.
00:49:22.52\00:49:23.99
Oh my.
00:49:24.03\00:49:26.63
That's what I
thought just got started.
00:49:26.66\00:49:30.07
I really forgot
to look at the clock.
00:49:30.10\00:49:31.50
If I didn't, my mind fail
me, but somebody helped me.
00:49:31.53\00:49:35.17
Tell me it's not,
it's not offensive,
00:49:35.20\00:49:36.54
but just don't want
to wear the same shawl.
00:49:36.57\00:49:37.94
But it seems like the
world that we live in,
00:49:41.01\00:49:44.61
we've talked about it
before, but more and more
00:49:44.65\00:49:46.92
people seem like
they're demon possessed.
00:49:46.95\00:49:49.75
Is it okay to say that?
00:49:49.78\00:49:51.72
No, really.
00:49:51.75\00:49:54.22
Remember the demons here
we're talking about here.
00:49:54.26\00:49:56.66
Agencies of evil are
combining their forces.
00:49:56.69\00:49:59.79
And they're
looking at Brother Will
00:49:59.83\00:50:01.16
and say, we don't want Him.
00:50:01.20\00:50:03.16
We got to get rid of Him.
00:50:03.20\00:50:04.73
He's inviting people to church.
00:50:04.77\00:50:06.53
He's getting them by the arm.
00:50:06.57\00:50:07.90
He's almost carrying them.
00:50:07.94\00:50:09.27
He'll goes by and picks them
up and puts him in his vehicle.
00:50:09.30\00:50:11.77
I don't think he ties
them in, but they come.
00:50:11.81\00:50:15.01
The enemy said,
I can't stand it.
00:50:15.04\00:50:18.81
You put your name there just.
00:50:18.85\00:50:21.02
The enemy said...
00:50:21.05\00:50:22.85
When the enemy looks at
you, he doesn't see you,
00:50:22.88\00:50:25.75
he sees Jesus in
you and he hates Jesus.
00:50:25.79\00:50:28.62
Does he not?
00:50:28.66\00:50:31.76
Think about it?
00:50:31.79\00:50:33.86
You know his side down,
00:50:33.90\00:50:35.50
I don't want him,
I want to do what?
00:50:35.53\00:50:38.80
Demon possessed.
00:50:38.83\00:50:40.34
The Bible says Isaiah 59:14,
maybe 5 or 10 more minutes.
00:50:40.37\00:50:43.41
Come on now church.
00:50:43.44\00:50:44.77
Isaiah 59:14.
00:50:44.81\00:50:47.24
The Bible said
"Justice standeth." what?
00:50:47.28\00:50:50.38
"Afar off."
00:50:50.41\00:50:51.85
Are we living in that time
00:50:51.88\00:50:53.52
where you look around, you said,
00:50:53.55\00:50:54.92
surely people can
see how simple this is.
00:50:54.95\00:50:56.52
There's no justice here.
00:50:56.55\00:50:58.55
In the last days,
justice standeth what?
00:50:58.59\00:51:01.56
Justice here is
translated righteousness.
00:51:01.59\00:51:04.79
Righteousness standeth afar
off for truth is fallen where?
00:51:04.83\00:51:09.63
It's fallen in the street.
00:51:09.66\00:51:11.97
Equity has been what?
00:51:12.00\00:51:13.44
Or cannot enter.
00:51:13.47\00:51:15.24
Think it's what it says.
00:51:15.27\00:51:16.94
Yeah.
00:51:16.97\00:51:18.37
You know what it
says about the truth
00:51:18.41\00:51:19.74
that we're talking about
truth is falling in the street.
00:51:19.77\00:51:22.04
Notice what it says,
00:51:22.08\00:51:23.41
translation is that
truth has been attacked.
00:51:23.45\00:51:27.95
Truth has been
attacked, Brother Jan.
00:51:27.98\00:51:29.65
Truth has been attacked
00:51:29.68\00:51:32.55
and God's people need
to rise to the occasion.
00:51:32.59\00:51:36.49
We need to rise to the occasion
and stand for Jesus Christ.
00:51:36.52\00:51:40.80
We are His witnesses.
00:51:40.83\00:51:42.56
We're His recorder.
00:51:42.60\00:51:46.33
We're to stand for truth.
00:51:46.37\00:51:48.10
Well, they want to hear
it if I tell them the truth,
00:51:48.14\00:51:49.64
they believe this.
00:51:49.67\00:51:51.01
And they say,
well, they don't mind
00:51:51.04\00:51:52.37
to tell you their lies.
00:51:52.41\00:51:54.31
They may not know
it, but they don't mind
00:51:54.34\00:51:55.68
to tell you what they believe.
00:51:55.71\00:51:57.05
And we should be
glad to tell them
00:51:57.08\00:51:58.41
what the Word of God says.
00:51:58.45\00:52:00.58
Truth fallen in the street.
00:52:00.62\00:52:01.95
Notice this, this is
the result what's happened.
00:52:01.98\00:52:04.35
Truth is fall in the street.
00:52:04.39\00:52:05.72
Even in this
country, we well know.
00:52:05.75\00:52:08.22
And the reason it's
fallen in the streets
00:52:08.26\00:52:09.96
is a nation
turns its back on God.
00:52:09.99\00:52:13.40
When a nation turns what?
00:52:13.43\00:52:14.90
When a people
turn their back on God
00:52:14.93\00:52:16.97
and His divine law,
00:52:17.00\00:52:19.57
even the
righteous are in danger.
00:52:19.60\00:52:22.00
Somebody listen,
00:52:22.04\00:52:23.81
oh, we're not gonna be.
00:52:23.84\00:52:25.17
I hear this all the time.
00:52:25.21\00:52:27.34
We know we're a child of God.
00:52:27.38\00:52:28.71
We haven't got
anything to worry about.
00:52:28.74\00:52:30.55
Well, we are a child of
God and we are in His hand
00:52:30.58\00:52:32.81
and He is there
and He's our protector
00:52:32.85\00:52:34.18
and so on so forth.
00:52:34.22\00:52:35.55
But we better wake up.
00:52:35.58\00:52:38.29
Look at all the
righteous as it were
00:52:38.32\00:52:39.82
through all the Old Testament
and all the times that suffered
00:52:39.85\00:52:42.42
and burn at the stake,
00:52:42.46\00:52:44.49
tortured and tore
apart and crucified,
00:52:44.53\00:52:47.23
Jesus Christ, the righteous
00:52:47.26\00:52:50.07
nailed to the cross.
00:52:50.10\00:52:53.60
So just standing back
and say, well God's going to.
00:52:53.64\00:52:57.34
Certainly claim those
promises, they're good.
00:52:57.37\00:53:00.68
But also realize too,
00:53:00.71\00:53:02.04
you know, sometime
00:53:02.08\00:53:03.41
the just
suffers with the unjust.
00:53:03.45\00:53:05.61
God knows what's best.
00:53:05.65\00:53:08.62
Nine testimonies 11 says this,
00:53:08.65\00:53:09.98
"Daily the papers
are full of indication
00:53:10.02\00:53:12.25
of a terrible
conflict in the near future."
00:53:12.29\00:53:15.82
Notice.
00:53:15.86\00:53:17.19
See if it's not.
00:53:17.23\00:53:18.56
"Bold robberies
00:53:18.59\00:53:19.93
are of frequent
occurrences strikes,"
00:53:19.96\00:53:22.66
hmm, like the
school, "are common."
00:53:22.70\00:53:25.63
I mean what's keeping the
kids from going back to school.
00:53:28.60\00:53:32.34
They need to be in school.
00:53:32.37\00:53:33.81
Can I say that it's
not political? Is it?
00:53:33.84\00:53:36.68
Not trying to
be political about,
00:53:36.71\00:53:38.05
they need to be in school.
00:53:38.08\00:53:39.91
It's proven they
can be in school.
00:53:39.95\00:53:42.42
But the union said
no for a long time,
00:53:42.45\00:53:44.92
until they
started working out a lot,
00:53:44.95\00:53:46.29
the union said no,
Ellen White says what?
00:53:46.32\00:53:48.82
Spirit of Prophecy said,
00:53:48.86\00:53:50.19
"The union would
cause a time of trouble
00:53:50.23\00:53:51.76
that the world has not
seen before Jesus comes."
00:53:51.79\00:53:55.20
They're strengthening.
00:53:55.23\00:53:57.53
They shut the world down.
00:53:57.57\00:54:00.24
Oh, nobody wants
to talk about them
00:54:00.27\00:54:01.60
'cause they might get hurt
if you talk about the unions.
00:54:01.64\00:54:05.27
Bold robberies are
of frequent occurrences
00:54:05.31\00:54:06.98
strikes are common."
00:54:07.01\00:54:08.34
Notice this,
00:54:08.38\00:54:09.71
"Thefts and murders
00:54:09.74\00:54:11.08
are committed on every hand."
00:54:11.11\00:54:15.38
Does that sound
like maybe today's paper?
00:54:15.42\00:54:19.52
Counsels of Church,
37 just quickly bring on
00:54:19.55\00:54:21.79
with the same kind
of same thought here.
00:54:21.82\00:54:23.79
It said,
00:54:23.83\00:54:25.16
"The condition of
things in the world shows that
00:54:25.19\00:54:26.90
troublous times
are right upon us.
00:54:26.93\00:54:29.16
Men possessed of demons
00:54:29.20\00:54:30.53
are taking the lives of
men, women and little children.
00:54:30.57\00:54:33.23
Is that not true?
00:54:33.27\00:54:34.60
Still drive by
shootings as it were.
00:54:34.64\00:54:36.67
Still going into
places we see this week here
00:54:36.71\00:54:38.47
and shooting people here
00:54:38.51\00:54:39.84
and go to another
place, shooting them here
00:54:39.87\00:54:41.21
because they didn't
like the place or what.
00:54:41.24\00:54:42.58
If you don't like the
place, stay out of it.
00:54:42.61\00:54:43.95
You know what I'm talking about?
00:54:47.12\00:54:49.48
And I'm gonna
encourage anybody on there.
00:54:49.52\00:54:50.85
If we can't get it right,
00:54:50.89\00:54:52.22
and you have this
demon speaking to you,
00:54:52.25\00:54:54.62
don't go out and
be killing people.
00:54:54.66\00:54:56.06
If you need to
get rid of something,
00:54:56.09\00:54:57.49
think about yourself.
00:54:57.53\00:54:59.09
I went ahead and said it.
00:54:59.13\00:55:01.33
Not that you should.
00:55:01.36\00:55:02.73
We say you all know
what I'm talking about,
00:55:02.76\00:55:05.07
but the enemy always said what?
00:55:05.10\00:55:06.53
Take as many as you
can, and then take yourself.
00:55:06.57\00:55:10.07
That's the way it always works.
00:55:10.11\00:55:14.01
That's heavy duty.
00:55:14.04\00:55:17.05
Some won't like it.
00:55:17.08\00:55:18.81
Troublous times, men
possessed with demons.
00:55:18.85\00:55:21.52
Notice it, they
become infatuated.
00:55:21.55\00:55:23.75
Notice this last guy here
00:55:23.79\00:55:25.19
this week that
done some shooting.
00:55:25.22\00:55:27.92
"They'd been
infatuated with vice,
00:55:27.96\00:55:30.59
and every species
of evil prevails."
00:55:30.63\00:55:34.13
Vice, evil conduct.
00:55:34.16\00:55:37.60
Men's mind are on evil what?
00:55:37.63\00:55:40.07
Continually like,
00:55:40.10\00:55:41.44
remember God said, he
gonna destroy the world
00:55:41.47\00:55:42.84
because their mind evil
00:55:42.87\00:55:44.87
because the enemy has
turned over to the enemy
00:55:44.91\00:55:47.18
and that's all he does is
evil things as you well know.
00:55:47.21\00:55:50.25
Corruption is what it
means and certainly moral.
00:55:50.28\00:55:54.78
Now, I don't like to read this
00:55:54.82\00:55:56.15
and I'm gonna read it
anyway before I close.
00:55:56.18\00:56:00.02
It says the enemy,
00:56:00.06\00:56:01.69
come on church, are you with me?
00:56:01.72\00:56:03.29
Who are we
talking about? The enemy.
00:56:03.32\00:56:05.49
It says,
00:56:05.53\00:56:06.86
"The enemy has succeeded.
00:56:06.90\00:56:09.53
The enemy has
succeeded in perverting justice
00:56:09.56\00:56:14.30
in the filling men's heart
00:56:14.34\00:56:15.87
with the desire
for selfish gain."
00:56:15.90\00:56:18.24
The enemy has succeeded
00:56:18.27\00:56:20.71
perverting justice for judgment.
00:56:20.74\00:56:22.88
Can't you see it today?
00:56:22.91\00:56:24.61
People look at something,
00:56:24.65\00:56:25.98
this is white as it can
be and they call it black
00:56:26.01\00:56:27.35
and they look up something black
00:56:27.38\00:56:28.72
as they can be and
they call it white.
00:56:28.75\00:56:31.92
You follow what
I'm talking about?
00:56:31.95\00:56:34.16
It's like, it's so
obvious what it is.
00:56:34.19\00:56:35.66
And people are looking at
it and say it's different.
00:56:35.69\00:56:38.36
Wow. Hmm.
00:56:38.39\00:56:42.30
People in authority
are looking for answers.
00:56:42.33\00:56:44.83
People in authority
are looking for answers.
00:56:48.30\00:56:50.34
They just can't
find what's going on.
00:56:50.37\00:56:53.58
But there's
answers to every situation,
00:56:53.61\00:56:54.94
can I ask this
question before we close.
00:56:54.98\00:56:57.68
But if we're looking for answers
00:56:57.71\00:56:59.05
to what's happening in the world
00:56:59.08\00:57:00.42
and God can certainly
overrule anything, can He not?
00:57:00.45\00:57:02.48
He can change anything
that He wants to change,
00:57:02.52\00:57:04.62
but He's looking for a
people who's willing to change
00:57:04.65\00:57:06.62
or people who's
willing to say what?
00:57:06.65\00:57:08.72
When He looks at you
and says, where art thou?
00:57:08.76\00:57:12.33
Here am I? That's it?
00:57:12.36\00:57:14.20
Because He
knows where you're at.
00:57:14.23\00:57:15.56
He knows what's
going through your mind.
00:57:15.60\00:57:17.53
He knows your
willingness or unwillingness.
00:57:17.57\00:57:19.73
Counsels for Church,
38 paragraph three says,
00:57:23.17\00:57:25.14
"There are not many
00:57:25.17\00:57:27.21
even among
educators and statesmen,
00:57:27.24\00:57:30.45
who comprehend the causes
00:57:30.48\00:57:32.08
that underlie the
present state of society."
00:57:32.11\00:57:35.38
What?
00:57:35.42\00:57:36.75
Does that make sense?
00:57:36.79\00:57:38.25
There's not too many
people that you see as it were
00:57:38.29\00:57:40.29
and the new different
people getting on there,
00:57:40.32\00:57:41.92
that's running our country
00:57:41.96\00:57:43.29
that really know what
to do with this going on.
00:57:43.32\00:57:46.03
They can't comprehend the cause
00:57:46.06\00:57:48.26
that underlies the
present state of things.
00:57:48.30\00:57:51.40
"Those who hold the
reigns of the government,"
00:57:51.43\00:57:53.97
come on, church.
00:57:54.00\00:57:55.50
"Those who hold the
reins of the government
00:57:55.54\00:57:57.21
are not able to
solve the problems
00:57:57.24\00:57:59.07
of the moral corruption,
00:57:59.11\00:58:00.71
poverty, pauperism
and increasing crime.
00:58:00.74\00:58:04.01
They are struggling in vain
to place business operations,"
00:58:04.05\00:58:07.68
did you get it, "on
a more secure line?"
00:58:07.72\00:58:09.88
Are they doing that?
Oh, absolutely basis.
00:58:09.92\00:58:12.55
"If men would give more
heed," here is the answer.
00:58:12.59\00:58:14.99
"If men would give more heed
to the teaching of God's Word,
00:58:15.02\00:58:18.49
they would find a solution
00:58:18.53\00:58:20.63
to the problems
that perplex them."
00:58:20.66\00:58:23.67
It's simply, the
answer is always the same.
00:58:23.70\00:58:26.03
Somebody comes up
with different answers,
00:58:26.07\00:58:27.40
don't believe them.
00:58:27.44\00:58:28.77
The answers go
back to God, right?
00:58:28.80\00:58:30.24
Go back to His Word.
00:58:30.27\00:58:33.84
The enemy has taken us
so far from the Word of God.
00:58:33.88\00:58:38.11
Men can't find answers anymore.
00:58:38.15\00:58:41.02
We need it.
00:58:41.05\00:58:43.32
The end of the world is
on us, we've gone astray.
00:58:43.35\00:58:47.96
Today is the day the
Lord is going to call.
00:58:47.99\00:58:51.06
