Hello, friends, and welcome back
00:00:38.80\00:00:40.64
to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:40.67\00:00:42.00
I'm Chris Shelton.
00:00:42.04\00:00:43.37
I want to thank you
for joining us today.
00:00:43.41\00:00:45.84
Our message for
today is entitled
00:00:45.87\00:00:47.74
Daniel's Prophecies Unsealed.
00:00:47.78\00:00:50.38
In Daniel 12:3-4, we read,
00:00:50.41\00:00:54.32
"And they that
be wise shall shine
00:00:54.35\00:00:56.58
as the
brightness of the firmament,
00:00:56.62\00:00:58.82
and they that turn
many to righteousness
00:00:58.85\00:01:01.79
as the stars for ever and ever.
00:01:01.82\00:01:04.16
But thou, O Daniel,
00:01:04.19\00:01:05.93
shut up the
words and seal the book
00:01:05.96\00:01:07.70
even to the time of the end:
00:01:07.73\00:01:09.80
many shall run to and fro
00:01:09.83\00:01:12.33
and knowledge
shall be increased."
00:01:12.37\00:01:14.74
Several thousand
years ago, Daniel,
00:01:14.77\00:01:17.71
a man of God from an
early age was favored by God
00:01:17.74\00:01:21.64
to become one of his
mouthpieces, a prophet.
00:01:21.68\00:01:25.01
Daniel was given
great prophetic visions,
00:01:25.05\00:01:27.72
some of which even
made him very, very ill.
00:01:27.75\00:01:31.75
He was shown
highlights of kingdoms
00:01:31.79\00:01:34.16
throughout all
of earth's history
00:01:34.19\00:01:35.92
all the way up to the
Second Coming of Christ
00:01:35.96\00:01:38.79
that the angel
had instructed Daniel
00:01:38.83\00:01:40.90
that some of
what he had been shown
00:01:40.93\00:01:43.47
was to be shut up and sealed
until the time of the end.
00:01:43.50\00:01:47.90
And during this time of the end,
00:01:47.94\00:01:50.54
he was also shown
00:01:50.57\00:01:51.94
that knowledge
would be increased.
00:01:51.97\00:01:54.11
Certainly, we all know
that knowledge has increased,
00:01:54.14\00:01:57.95
but what about
the time of the end?
00:01:57.98\00:02:00.65
Has this time begun?
00:02:00.68\00:02:02.48
How important are
the prophetic Books
00:02:02.52\00:02:04.72
of Daniel and of Revelation?
00:02:04.75\00:02:07.39
Has the Book of
Daniel already been unsealed?
00:02:07.42\00:02:11.16
And what effect will this have
on each and every one of us?
00:02:11.19\00:02:15.40
Please stay tuned today
00:02:15.43\00:02:17.00
and study along with
Pastor Kenny Shelton,
00:02:17.03\00:02:19.70
as he shares the
answers to these questions
00:02:19.73\00:02:22.84
during this message,
00:02:22.87\00:02:24.31
again entitled
Daniel's Prophecies Unsealed.
00:02:24.34\00:02:28.58
But first let's visit
3ABN and listen to a song
00:02:28.61\00:02:31.71
that is
entitled, You Raise Me Up,
00:02:31.75\00:02:34.68
as sung by
Scott Michael Bennett.
00:02:34.72\00:02:37.39
When I am down
00:02:54.30\00:02:57.51
And, oh my soul, so weary
00:02:57.54\00:03:02.78
When troubles come
00:03:02.81\00:03:05.68
And my heart burdened be
00:03:05.71\00:03:10.89
Then, I am still and wait here
00:03:10.92\00:03:15.86
In the silence
00:03:15.89\00:03:18.96
Until you come
00:03:18.99\00:03:22.03
And sit awhile with me
00:03:22.06\00:03:27.04
You raise me up
00:03:27.07\00:03:29.87
So I can stand on mountains
00:03:29.90\00:03:34.64
You raise me up,
00:03:34.68\00:03:37.55
To walk on stormy seas
00:03:37.58\00:03:42.32
Oh, I am strong,
00:03:42.35\00:03:45.42
when I am on your shoulders
00:03:45.45\00:03:50.13
You raise me up
00:03:50.16\00:03:52.96
To more than I can be
00:03:52.99\00:03:56.97
There is no life
00:04:01.74\00:04:04.21
No life without its hunger
00:04:04.24\00:04:09.04
Each restless heart
00:04:09.08\00:04:11.81
Beats so imperfectly
00:04:11.85\00:04:16.38
But I look up
00:04:16.42\00:04:19.29
And I am filled with wonder
00:04:19.32\00:04:23.83
Sometimes, I think
00:04:23.86\00:04:27.20
I glimpse eternity
00:04:27.23\00:04:31.93
You raise me up
00:04:31.97\00:04:34.50
So I can stand on mountains
00:04:34.54\00:04:39.04
You raise me up,
00:04:39.07\00:04:41.91
To walk on stormy seas
00:04:41.94\00:04:47.25
I am strong,
00:04:47.28\00:04:49.45
When I am on your shoulders
00:04:49.48\00:04:54.39
You raise me up
00:04:54.42\00:04:57.36
To more than I can be
00:04:57.39\00:05:03.37
You raise me up
00:05:07.80\00:05:10.64
So I can stand on mountains
00:05:10.67\00:05:15.18
You raise me up,
00:05:15.21\00:05:18.15
To walk on stormy seas
00:05:18.18\00:05:23.32
I am strong,
00:05:23.35\00:05:25.39
When I am on your shoulders
00:05:25.42\00:05:30.19
You raise me up
00:05:30.23\00:05:33.26
To more than I can be
00:05:33.29\00:05:36.26
You raise me up
00:05:40.47\00:05:44.47
To more than I can be
00:05:44.51\00:05:50.48
Hello and welcome.
00:06:10.77\00:06:12.10
We're glad you
join us today here
00:06:12.13\00:06:13.47
at Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:06:13.50\00:06:14.84
You know, we
appreciate coming into your home
00:06:14.87\00:06:16.77
wherever it might be
00:06:16.81\00:06:18.14
that we spend this time together
00:06:18.17\00:06:19.71
to study God's Word.
00:06:19.74\00:06:21.08
We do appreciate you,
we thank You, without you,
00:06:21.11\00:06:23.75
hey, where are the
ministries, you know?
00:06:23.78\00:06:25.48
Without you to help us support
00:06:25.51\00:06:27.52
and get this
message to all the world,
00:06:27.55\00:06:29.38
you know, where would it be?
00:06:29.42\00:06:30.75
We know that God is able,
00:06:30.79\00:06:32.12
but thank you
again for your cards
00:06:32.15\00:06:33.56
and your letter and
your support, your prayer.
00:06:33.59\00:06:36.06
I mean, you're praying, I
know, we receive those letters.
00:06:36.09\00:06:38.89
And that you're
praying for us every day.
00:06:38.93\00:06:41.40
And let me tell you,
I'm not offended by that,
00:06:41.43\00:06:43.47
when people say I've been
praying for you and they have.
00:06:43.50\00:06:46.00
I've been praying
for you for 30 years.
00:06:46.03\00:06:48.14
I praise God for that.
00:06:48.17\00:06:49.84
And I say to them,
"Please don't stop."
00:06:49.87\00:06:52.51
We need those prayers,
don't we, as we move along?
00:06:52.54\00:06:55.78
Our subject today, and
we think it's going to be,
00:06:55.81\00:06:57.65
you know, an exciting one.
00:06:57.68\00:06:59.11
It should be an
encouragement to us.
00:06:59.15\00:07:00.85
And there's an awful lot,
00:07:00.88\00:07:02.22
we won't be able
to hit everything.
00:07:02.25\00:07:04.12
But we're going
to be talking about
00:07:04.15\00:07:05.49
Daniel's Prophecies Unsealed.
00:07:05.52\00:07:08.19
And there's a
reason because people use,
00:07:08.22\00:07:11.19
you know, some of these things,
00:07:11.23\00:07:12.56
they read a line
or two here and there,
00:07:12.59\00:07:14.20
and they'll say,
"Well, these are seals
00:07:14.23\00:07:15.73
so we don't have
to mess with them.
00:07:15.76\00:07:17.10
They use revelation.
00:07:17.13\00:07:18.47
Well, it's not,
you know, it's not,
00:07:18.50\00:07:19.83
we can't understand it.
00:07:19.87\00:07:21.20
Also, we're not to study it."
00:07:21.24\00:07:22.57
But we're living in
a very specific time
00:07:22.60\00:07:24.47
of earth's history
00:07:24.51\00:07:26.37
when Jesus is soon to come.
00:07:26.41\00:07:28.81
But you know, until
then we have a work to do.
00:07:28.84\00:07:32.61
Let's put our work boots on.
00:07:32.65\00:07:35.82
And some of you need steel toes.
00:07:35.85\00:07:38.25
I hope somebody, I
hope you get, right?
00:07:38.29\00:07:40.39
Because we're a
little bit sensitive.
00:07:40.42\00:07:42.42
We get a little bit discouraged
when somebody says something
00:07:42.46\00:07:44.96
and they might
stomp on your toes,
00:07:44.99\00:07:46.86
just a little bit,
have those steel toes
00:07:46.90\00:07:48.70
on that the Word of God
right hid in your heart,
00:07:48.73\00:07:51.67
and that we will
do what we need to do.
00:07:51.70\00:07:54.40
There's the
importance of this study,
00:07:54.44\00:07:55.77
we'll get into it.
00:07:55.80\00:07:57.14
We're going to read a
couple passages of scripture
00:07:57.17\00:07:58.51
that we never start as
you know, until we pray.
00:07:58.54\00:08:01.11
We pray beforehand,
00:08:01.14\00:08:02.48
before we go on
the air we pray during
00:08:02.51\00:08:04.28
and we ask that you continue
to pray throughout the study
00:08:04.31\00:08:07.85
because it's very important.
00:08:07.88\00:08:09.22
I'm going to
kneel up here with you,
00:08:09.25\00:08:10.59
just pray with me please.
00:08:10.62\00:08:13.02
Merciful Father, in heaven,
00:08:13.05\00:08:14.39
we come to You because
we have need of a Savior.
00:08:14.42\00:08:16.99
We have need of the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.99
We have need of
understanding of Your Word.
00:08:19.03\00:08:20.90
Oh, how we lack
that understanding
00:08:20.93\00:08:22.86
without Your Holy Spirit.
00:08:22.90\00:08:24.30
We can't understand it.
00:08:24.33\00:08:25.67
So but now we ask
00:08:25.70\00:08:27.04
for the inviting the Holy Spirit
00:08:27.07\00:08:29.24
now to come into our hearts
and our minds, in our lives.
00:08:29.27\00:08:31.94
Put out those things
00:08:31.97\00:08:33.41
that so easily
beset us this week
00:08:33.44\00:08:35.38
that we may spend
this thoughtful time
00:08:35.41\00:08:37.11
with you right now,
00:08:37.15\00:08:38.61
as you reveal,
00:08:38.65\00:08:40.18
the time in which we
are living and we thank you
00:08:40.22\00:08:42.32
for each and every
one in Jesus' name, amen.
00:08:42.35\00:08:45.55
You have your Bible,
00:08:45.59\00:08:46.92
I want you to turn with
me to Revelation Chapter 12.
00:08:46.96\00:08:48.79
I'm going to read
several passages of Scripture.
00:08:48.82\00:08:51.66
Love to read them
all, love to try it,
00:08:51.69\00:08:53.70
try go in to them
00:08:53.73\00:08:55.86
that maybe help
us to understand.
00:08:55.90\00:08:57.23
But we want to
highlight some of the things
00:08:57.27\00:08:59.10
that I believe will
be a blessing to you,
00:08:59.13\00:09:00.84
a blessing to me as
I've studied this thing.
00:09:00.87\00:09:02.74
Revelation Chapter 12,
00:09:02.77\00:09:04.31
we're going to
begin with verse 3 and 4,
00:09:04.34\00:09:06.51
and we're going to
read 3, 4, 9, 10 and 13.
00:09:06.54\00:09:10.45
Not that we're skipping any,
00:09:10.48\00:09:11.81
not that we're
trying to prioritize
00:09:11.85\00:09:13.65
some above the other.
00:09:13.68\00:09:15.08
But I believe
these will help fit
00:09:15.12\00:09:17.09
what we're going to
be talking about today.
00:09:17.12\00:09:18.95
I love to say and always say,
"This is what the Bible says."
00:09:18.99\00:09:22.89
Are we there, church?
00:09:22.92\00:09:24.26
This is what the Bible says.
00:09:24.29\00:09:26.29
This is not what
somebody else says.
00:09:26.33\00:09:28.50
This is what the Bible says.
00:09:28.53\00:09:29.86
This is what the Holy
Spirit says to us today.
00:09:29.90\00:09:32.63
Daniel 12:3,
00:09:32.67\00:09:36.44
"And they that be wise..."
00:09:36.47\00:09:38.67
Is anybody wise here?
00:09:38.71\00:09:41.78
We hope that you
are by the grace of God.
00:09:41.81\00:09:44.08
"They that be wise shall shine
00:09:44.11\00:09:45.91
as the
brightness of the firmament,
00:09:45.95\00:09:48.62
and they that turn
many to righteousness
00:09:48.65\00:09:50.99
as the stars for ever and ever."
00:09:51.02\00:09:53.49
Verse 4, "But thou, Daniel,
00:09:53.52\00:09:55.72
shut up the words and," do what?
00:09:55.76\00:09:58.46
"Seal," notice this, "the book,
even to the time of the end:
00:09:58.49\00:10:03.83
many shall run to and fro,
00:10:03.87\00:10:05.20
and knowledge
shall be increased."
00:10:05.23\00:10:06.70
Verse 9, "And he
said, go thy way, Daniel:
00:10:06.74\00:10:09.97
for the words are," what?
00:10:10.01\00:10:11.91
"They're closed up and sealed
till the time of the end."
00:10:11.94\00:10:14.78
In other words, it's more
for us than it is for Daniel.
00:10:14.81\00:10:17.35
Daniel didn't
understand all of it.
00:10:17.38\00:10:18.91
Certainly it was a big
portion for Daniel's time.
00:10:18.95\00:10:21.72
What we need to
understand is it's for our time,
00:10:21.75\00:10:25.65
the time of the end.
00:10:25.69\00:10:27.02
The Bible said,
"Many shall," verse 10,
00:10:27.06\00:10:29.26
"shall be
purified, and made," what?
00:10:29.29\00:10:31.73
"White, and tried,
00:10:31.76\00:10:33.29
but the wicked
shall do wickedly:
00:10:33.33\00:10:36.40
none of the
wicked shall understand."
00:10:36.43\00:10:39.43
Cannot be real nice about it.
00:10:39.47\00:10:40.80
Those who are wicked is not
going to be able to understand.
00:10:40.84\00:10:43.00
If you want to understand,
00:10:43.04\00:10:44.37
we need to be
righteous by the grace of God,
00:10:44.41\00:10:45.74
isn't that right?
00:10:45.77\00:10:47.11
By the power of the Holy Spirit.
00:10:47.14\00:10:48.48
"But the wise shall understand."
00:10:48.51\00:10:50.98
This just negates and
say let's not make excuses
00:10:51.01\00:10:54.22
that we'll never be
able to understand it,
00:10:54.25\00:10:55.62
because the Bible says
the wise shall understand.
00:10:55.65\00:10:58.62
Verse 13, but he tells Daniel,
00:10:58.65\00:11:00.69
"But go thy way till the end be:
00:11:00.72\00:11:04.96
for thou shalt rest,
00:11:04.99\00:11:06.96
and shall stand in thy
lot at the end of days."
00:11:07.00\00:11:12.17
Very interesting
when you look at that,
00:11:12.20\00:11:14.14
the importance of this study.
00:11:14.17\00:11:15.90
Let me just run over
some quick things here
00:11:15.94\00:11:17.84
that lay a
little bit of groundwork
00:11:17.87\00:11:19.84
as we go through this.
00:11:19.87\00:11:22.74
This is found in
Testimonies to Ministers, 115,
00:11:22.78\00:11:26.18
because we talk
about Daniel go thy way.
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.85
You know, stand in your law.
00:11:29.88\00:11:31.22
What does this all mean?
00:11:31.25\00:11:32.59
It says,
"Daniel stood in his lot
00:11:32.62\00:11:35.16
to bear his testimony."
00:11:35.19\00:11:36.52
That means he stood in
his, this was his portion.
00:11:36.56\00:11:39.69
This was his destiny.
00:11:39.73\00:11:41.43
And certainly he
will speak again,
00:11:41.46\00:11:43.53
to this generation.
00:11:43.57\00:11:45.67
Remember, God is
opening the prophecy
00:11:45.70\00:11:48.44
of the book of
Daniel to this generation.
00:11:48.47\00:11:51.87
To me, that's so important.
00:11:51.91\00:11:53.64
That makes my ears stand up.
00:11:53.68\00:11:55.88
This is for me, this is for you.
00:11:55.91\00:11:58.41
They should
tingle on it and say,
00:11:58.45\00:11:59.98
this is for me, I want to know.
00:12:00.02\00:12:02.15
But how often do we not
hear it from the pulpit?
00:12:02.18\00:12:07.56
I don't want to be a
discouragement to you.
00:12:07.59\00:12:08.92
I want to say we
go a lot of places,
00:12:08.96\00:12:10.43
we hear a lot of things.
00:12:10.46\00:12:11.93
Very few people are
talking about the end times.
00:12:11.96\00:12:15.23
They're talking about
everything but the end times.
00:12:15.26\00:12:17.47
He said, "Daniel, remember
what I'm giving you right now,
00:12:17.50\00:12:20.20
you're going to
rest for a while.
00:12:20.24\00:12:22.57
But your words that I speak,
00:12:22.60\00:12:23.94
you will come back
to this last generation.
00:12:23.97\00:12:26.51
They were sealed
until the time of the end."
00:12:26.54\00:12:29.88
Listen, anybody that
studies Bible prophecy,
00:12:29.91\00:12:32.31
in case you don't know,
and you haven't studied one,
00:12:32.35\00:12:33.85
it's not a put down at all.
00:12:33.88\00:12:36.15
We have studied the
Word of God to the point
00:12:36.18\00:12:37.92
we realize that the end
of time would be after 1798.
00:12:37.95\00:12:42.26
Did you get it?
00:12:42.29\00:12:43.63
After 1798?
00:12:43.66\00:12:45.53
And again, we'll go
through a little bit more
00:12:45.56\00:12:47.00
of that as we can.
00:12:47.03\00:12:48.36
And then if you have questions,
00:12:48.40\00:12:49.73
we can go a
little deeper into it
00:12:49.76\00:12:51.10
if we need to
in the Word of God.
00:12:51.13\00:12:52.47
That would be after the what?
00:12:52.50\00:12:54.07
Twelve hundred and
sixty years, right?
00:12:54.10\00:12:56.07
Days of the Dark Ages.
00:12:56.10\00:12:58.37
We'll go over it
again, as we go, 538,
00:12:58.41\00:13:00.31
1798 is exactly 1260
years of the papal rule.
00:13:00.34\00:13:05.28
That's the Dark Ages
period that we all know.
00:13:05.31\00:13:09.55
It's going to be
after that point.
00:13:09.58\00:13:12.65
Listen, we're after that point.
00:13:12.69\00:13:14.86
This is for us right now.
00:13:14.89\00:13:17.16
Notice this, the
prophecy is recorded by Daniel.
00:13:17.19\00:13:20.46
Notice this, demand
our special attention.
00:13:20.50\00:13:24.10
Demand what? Our
special attention.
00:13:24.13\00:13:26.00
Why?
00:13:26.03\00:13:27.37
As they relate to the very times
00:13:27.40\00:13:29.54
in which we are living.
00:13:29.57\00:13:31.41
With them
00:13:31.44\00:13:32.77
and with the teachings of Daniel
00:13:32.81\00:13:34.14
should also be
coupled with what?
00:13:34.18\00:13:35.51
The Book of...
00:13:35.54\00:13:36.88
Say Revelation,
the Book of Revelation.
00:13:36.91\00:13:38.78
We know that, that's
New Testament scripture.
00:13:38.81\00:13:41.95
Now remember, the
enemy has deceived
00:13:41.98\00:13:44.19
the majority of the world.
00:13:44.22\00:13:46.49
Think about it,
00:13:46.52\00:13:47.86
how many
churches you've attended,
00:13:47.89\00:13:49.22
or maybe you've
worked for, you did before?
00:13:49.26\00:13:50.93
God called you out of
darkness into marvelous light.
00:13:50.96\00:13:54.36
That's not in a bragging way,
but let's face reality here.
00:13:54.40\00:13:58.27
Where were you at
before for many years
00:13:58.30\00:14:00.27
that God called you
and the relationship
00:14:00.30\00:14:02.80
that you had with him increased?
00:14:02.84\00:14:05.74
And you understood
the Bible much better
00:14:05.77\00:14:07.68
and you followed Him.
00:14:07.71\00:14:09.04
You begin to walk.
00:14:09.08\00:14:10.45
You know, to say that
you understand Scripture
00:14:10.48\00:14:12.15
and not willing to walk in,
00:14:12.18\00:14:13.85
unfaithful
steward, unfaithful, right?
00:14:13.88\00:14:16.25
Witness and unfaithful person,
00:14:16.28\00:14:18.75
you know, we've got
to follow Jesus Christ.
00:14:18.79\00:14:21.36
That's what it's telling us.
00:14:21.39\00:14:23.83
And so as we
look at these things
00:14:23.86\00:14:25.43
that were going on, we
could just say quickly,
00:14:25.46\00:14:27.36
maybe to help us understand,
00:14:27.40\00:14:28.76
we could divide Daniel
00:14:28.80\00:14:30.13
and like to just two
little portions, quickly.
00:14:30.17\00:14:32.23
A lot of
different portions, but two.
00:14:32.27\00:14:34.67
We can look at the
historical aspect of Daniel,
00:14:34.70\00:14:37.67
and I believe that's in,
you know, Chapters 1 through 6,
00:14:37.71\00:14:40.61
more of the
historical setting and things
00:14:40.64\00:14:42.61
that took place right there.
00:14:42.64\00:14:44.18
Then we can
certainly look at the prophet
00:14:44.21\00:14:47.38
or prophetic section that
goes from Chapter 7 through 12.
00:14:47.42\00:14:52.42
And so there's a
lot that's there.
00:14:52.45\00:14:54.19
So, if we look at
the prophetic time,
00:14:54.22\00:14:56.26
we would think more of this
00:14:56.29\00:14:57.63
is what we're talking about,
00:14:57.66\00:14:58.99
that God is unsealing
00:14:59.03\00:15:00.36
for the last
days the prophecies,
00:15:00.40\00:15:02.00
so that we can understand them,
00:15:02.03\00:15:03.67
so that we can
know where we are at.
00:15:03.70\00:15:07.27
And Daniel Chapter 7,
just quickly, we realized
00:15:07.30\00:15:10.17
that is the
second prophetic message.
00:15:10.21\00:15:13.14
The first one was
in Daniel Chapter 2,
00:15:13.17\00:15:15.11
where it talked about,
00:15:15.14\00:15:16.48
you know, Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome
00:15:16.51\00:15:17.85
and so on and so forth.
00:15:17.88\00:15:19.21
But it talks about and
I'm not going to go into it,
00:15:19.25\00:15:20.92
four beasts, it talks
about, the little horn,
00:15:20.95\00:15:24.29
Daniel 7, and the judgment hour.
00:15:24.32\00:15:26.45
Judgment hour is
such an important message
00:15:26.49\00:15:28.46
and what we're living
today that we're living in.
00:15:28.49\00:15:31.73
The third prophetic message,
that'd be Daniel 8 and 9,
00:15:31.76\00:15:37.03
that we talk about the ram,
that we talk about the he-goat,
00:15:37.07\00:15:40.10
that we talk about the
horns and the cleansing of what?
00:15:40.14\00:15:43.84
The cleansing of the
sanctuary, you remember?
00:15:43.87\00:15:46.44
It talks about what?
00:15:46.47\00:15:47.81
Daniel 8:14,
2300 days, 2300 years,
00:15:47.84\00:15:50.58
and then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.
00:15:50.61\00:15:53.05
Remember the time
of the end after 1798,
00:15:53.08\00:15:55.82
interesting, 1844 is
after 1798, is it not?
00:15:55.85\00:16:00.62
And the message
begin to come out
00:16:00.66\00:16:02.39
earlier than that,
just a few years after 1798.
00:16:02.42\00:16:06.03
People all over
the world well began
00:16:06.06\00:16:07.93
to study the
prophecies of Daniel
00:16:07.96\00:16:10.30
and light was shining on them.
00:16:10.33\00:16:12.07
And many around
the world were saying,
00:16:12.10\00:16:14.04
"Jesus is soon to come."
00:16:14.07\00:16:16.34
Jesus, there was a reformation,
00:16:16.37\00:16:19.54
like we need to be
going through today
00:16:19.57\00:16:21.81
rather than, "Oh, I
have to go to church."
00:16:21.84\00:16:24.41
Oh, boy, I
didn't have much time,
00:16:24.45\00:16:26.08
mentioned in a store,
00:16:26.11\00:16:27.45
oh, I don't have
time to go to church,
00:16:27.48\00:16:28.82
you have time to set.
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.19
I'll leave it at that.
00:16:30.22\00:16:33.92
Sometime I have
to stop myself, well.
00:16:33.96\00:16:37.36
It'll just come out.
00:16:37.39\00:16:41.13
But you know what
we can relate to it.
00:16:41.16\00:16:43.26
We can do everything else.
00:16:43.30\00:16:46.50
But should we not be doing that
which God has asked us to do?
00:16:46.53\00:16:49.60
The fourth prophetic message
00:16:49.64\00:16:51.31
we talk about is
certainly Daniel 10 through 12.
00:16:51.34\00:16:54.74
And again, you can find
all those little verses of it
00:16:54.78\00:16:57.98
if you want to
with the chapters.
00:16:58.01\00:17:00.05
It's a vision concerning
future or historical events,
00:17:00.08\00:17:05.52
and some not yet taking place.
00:17:05.55\00:17:08.36
In the future, isn't that right?
00:17:08.39\00:17:10.16
I think that we talked about,
00:17:10.19\00:17:11.73
I think it was James White,
was Ellen White's husband.
00:17:11.76\00:17:14.20
He said, "Be careful
about some of these things.
00:17:14.23\00:17:17.03
Don't be too dogmatic about it."
00:17:17.07\00:17:19.17
My mum always told
me, "Be careful, Kenny,
00:17:19.20\00:17:20.84
you're gonna have
to eat your own words."
00:17:20.87\00:17:22.20
But we can be
positive and be sure
00:17:26.04\00:17:28.41
as the scrolling rolls,
as we see things happening.
00:17:28.44\00:17:31.91
I believe sometime we have
to put ourselves out there.
00:17:31.95\00:17:35.52
They can call it
conspiracy if they want to.
00:17:35.55\00:17:37.45
I call it truth from God's Word,
00:17:37.49\00:17:39.92
because it's
founded in the Word of God.
00:17:39.95\00:17:42.36
Prophets and Kings,
00:17:42.39\00:17:43.73
I want to just
go to that quickly,
00:17:43.76\00:17:45.09
page 547 says this,
00:17:45.13\00:17:47.40
"I think it's
important to establish
00:17:47.43\00:17:49.06
when you talk
about a certain subject."
00:17:49.10\00:17:51.47
That is something that
we should be talking about.
00:17:51.50\00:17:54.67
Is something
that, again, grips us
00:17:54.70\00:17:57.94
in the society that we live in,
00:17:57.97\00:18:00.08
that we see
these things happening,
00:18:00.11\00:18:01.74
but we can't
quite put it together.
00:18:01.78\00:18:03.21
The world sees things happening.
00:18:03.24\00:18:06.51
Tremendous things
that are happening.
00:18:06.55\00:18:09.35
Unquestionable things
that are happening yet,
00:18:09.38\00:18:11.55
but they just said,
we can't put it together.
00:18:11.59\00:18:14.69
We just don't understand it
because we need to be studying
00:18:14.72\00:18:17.79
Daniel and Revelation,
00:18:17.83\00:18:19.39
then we can see
what the enemy's plan is
00:18:19.43\00:18:21.80
and who is going to be using,
00:18:21.83\00:18:23.37
notice this, to get rid
of God's last day people.
00:18:23.40\00:18:26.70
It doesn't matter what's
going on in the world today,
00:18:26.74\00:18:28.97
you can call
anything you want to call it,
00:18:29.00\00:18:30.97
I guarantee you,
the enemy is behind it,
00:18:31.01\00:18:33.44
and the end result is he
wants to hush the people of God.
00:18:33.48\00:18:36.98
Does that make sense?
00:18:37.01\00:18:38.58
See, most of us don't
want to think that way.
00:18:38.61\00:18:40.62
It's true.
00:18:40.65\00:18:42.68
You are here today
00:18:42.72\00:18:44.32
because God
says you can be here.
00:18:44.35\00:18:48.16
If God didn't say you
could be here right now,
00:18:48.19\00:18:50.03
the enemy would snuff
you like you're nothing.
00:18:50.06\00:18:52.49
You couldn't stop him.
00:18:52.53\00:18:54.80
Only God can stop him,
00:18:54.83\00:18:56.36
only the Spirit
of the living God,
00:18:56.40\00:18:57.73
only the Holy
Spirit of living God says
00:18:57.77\00:18:59.90
that they're apple of my
eye, you can't touch them.
00:18:59.93\00:19:03.61
I mean that to me,
that's such a good news.
00:19:03.64\00:19:06.37
That's exciting news.
00:19:06.41\00:19:09.84
We shall, we must be focused in
00:19:09.88\00:19:12.95
on the events
that are taking place.
00:19:12.98\00:19:16.69
Notice it, as we near the
close of this world's history,
00:19:16.72\00:19:19.59
the prophecy is recorded,
we talked about Daniel,
00:19:19.62\00:19:22.22
demand our what?
00:19:22.26\00:19:23.63
Special attention.
00:19:23.66\00:19:24.99
Keep that in mind.
00:19:25.03\00:19:26.36
The enemy has deceived what?
00:19:26.39\00:19:27.73
The majority of the
world, most of the world
00:19:27.76\00:19:30.03
in believing as we
mentioned these two books,
00:19:30.07\00:19:32.47
Daniel and Revelation.
00:19:32.50\00:19:33.84
We just can't understand them.
00:19:33.87\00:19:36.60
Any preacher,
any elder, anybody,
00:19:36.64\00:19:39.61
I almost said with any sense,
I'm not going to say that.
00:19:39.64\00:19:44.58
Anybody that said you
can't get in the pulpit
00:19:44.61\00:19:48.28
and try to tell
the people of God
00:19:48.32\00:19:50.52
that's been put under your care
00:19:50.55\00:19:53.02
that we just don't need to
study Daniel and Revelation
00:19:53.05\00:19:56.32
should be fired, given a shovel,
00:19:56.36\00:19:58.86
go outside and dig or something.
00:19:58.89\00:20:00.96
You know what, really?
00:20:01.00\00:20:03.23
Because you know
what, when you're digging,
00:20:03.26\00:20:04.60
I'll tell you right
there, Brother Mark,
00:20:04.63\00:20:06.84
you know, if you're saying
that to your congregation,
00:20:06.87\00:20:08.67
you might as well
go dig your own grave.
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.41
Seriously.
00:20:11.44\00:20:13.81
This is the hour.
00:20:13.84\00:20:15.48
Say that you can't understand.
00:20:18.45\00:20:20.75
But it's just the opposite.
00:20:20.78\00:20:22.65
See how the devil,
always just the opposite.
00:20:22.68\00:20:24.79
She say, "Well,
I'm not really sure."
00:20:24.82\00:20:26.39
It's the opposite.
00:20:26.42\00:20:28.26
We read there in
verse 10 of Daniel 12:10,
00:20:28.29\00:20:31.76
blessings will come to those
00:20:31.79\00:20:33.50
who study and those who read,
00:20:33.53\00:20:37.23
Revelation will
tell you the same thing.
00:20:37.27\00:20:41.17
It says, "The
wise shall understand.
00:20:41.20\00:20:44.44
So you can't say we
can't understand it.
00:20:44.47\00:20:48.11
Because it just said,
the wise shall understand it.
00:20:48.14\00:20:52.38
So the vision then that was
given to Daniel over and over,
00:20:52.41\00:20:56.72
you know, the ones
that we call about unsealed,
00:20:56.75\00:20:59.89
they're going to be
unsealed in the latter times.
00:20:59.92\00:21:02.09
Keep that in mind,
we'll say it over and over,
00:21:02.12\00:21:03.69
they're going to
be unsealed where?
00:21:03.73\00:21:05.23
In the latter days.
00:21:05.26\00:21:07.80
And then we have Revelation,
it was a revealing of whom?
00:21:07.83\00:21:12.03
Of Jesus Christ
was given to John.
00:21:12.07\00:21:16.10
John wrote those things
down to guide God's people,
00:21:16.14\00:21:19.97
to show God's servants,
here in these last days,
00:21:20.01\00:21:23.21
of the things the Bible said
that must shortly come to pass.
00:21:23.24\00:21:26.75
Is that what the Bible says?
00:21:26.78\00:21:28.78
How can anyone read
those passages of Scripture
00:21:28.82\00:21:31.22
and then say it's not important?
00:21:31.25\00:21:33.42
Remember, the enemy would say,
00:21:33.46\00:21:35.29
"Oh, it says, a
revelation of Jesus Christ.
00:21:35.32\00:21:37.63
I don't want the
people to know Jesus Christ.
00:21:37.66\00:21:40.13
Let's keep them out of the book.
00:21:40.16\00:21:42.20
Oh, I don't want
them to know of the things
00:21:42.23\00:21:44.47
that shortly come to pass.
00:21:44.50\00:21:46.03
Keep them out of that book."
00:21:46.07\00:21:48.47
That's Revelation 1:1,
00:21:48.50\00:21:49.84
I mean, just opens
up with dynamite, right?
00:21:49.87\00:21:52.44
Revelation opens up
with just pure old dynamite,
00:21:52.47\00:21:55.28
hand grenades, throw
them all in there, right?
00:21:55.31\00:21:57.38
Wake up the people.
00:21:57.41\00:21:58.75
You listen, if
they don't wake you up,
00:21:58.78\00:22:00.12
they'll kill you.
00:22:00.15\00:22:01.92
Okay, we'll leave it at that.
00:22:01.95\00:22:03.28
You decide for
however you want to.
00:22:03.32\00:22:06.09
I mean, it's really,
the blessing is pronounced,
00:22:06.12\00:22:09.12
notice in Revelation,
notice on three things,
00:22:09.16\00:22:11.69
blessings upon he who reads.
00:22:11.73\00:22:14.56
Did you get it?
00:22:14.60\00:22:16.06
He that readeth,
and he that hears,
00:22:16.10\00:22:20.04
and then the ones who do what?
00:22:20.07\00:22:22.20
Keep those things
written in the book.
00:22:22.24\00:22:25.01
So you can read it all you want,
00:22:25.04\00:22:27.54
you can hear it all you want,
00:22:27.58\00:22:29.14
but until we're
willing to keep those things
00:22:29.18\00:22:31.55
written in the
book, we're falling short.
00:22:31.58\00:22:34.05
Now that why should I read?
00:22:34.08\00:22:35.65
Why should I
study? Why should I keep?
00:22:35.68\00:22:37.59
Because John goes head and say,
00:22:37.62\00:22:39.42
"Under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
00:22:39.45\00:22:42.79
for the time is at hand."
00:22:42.82\00:22:45.86
See, you say, well,
might be several years off,
00:22:45.89\00:22:48.13
don't worry about that.
00:22:48.16\00:22:49.63
The time is at hand.
00:22:49.66\00:22:51.27
Your time may be at hand.
00:22:51.30\00:22:53.20
You may not make
it through this day.
00:22:53.23\00:22:54.67
I may not make
it through this day.
00:22:54.70\00:22:56.04
Keep it real.
00:22:56.07\00:22:57.61
See to me just keep it real
00:22:57.64\00:22:59.21
in our hearts and
our minds all the time.
00:22:59.24\00:23:01.34
Well, you know,
my grandpa said that,
00:23:01.38\00:23:03.38
but don't worry
about what grandpa said.
00:23:03.41\00:23:07.12
We love grandpa, we
love dad, it's all good,
00:23:07.15\00:23:09.78
but what they said was
maybe for their day is good.
00:23:09.82\00:23:13.32
We're in our day right now.
00:23:13.36\00:23:15.16
We're closer.
00:23:15.19\00:23:16.73
Remember, the Book
of Daniel would be what?
00:23:16.76\00:23:19.19
Unsealed and things
would come to our attention
00:23:19.23\00:23:23.13
to remind us.
00:23:23.16\00:23:24.77
We can know by
studying these books,
00:23:24.80\00:23:27.14
what has been, what will be,
00:23:27.17\00:23:30.81
what is happening
right now, it's all for us.
00:23:30.84\00:23:33.88
Think about where
else can you look?
00:23:33.91\00:23:35.98
What other book can you read
in the world besides the Bible,
00:23:36.01\00:23:38.68
to read what has been,
what is happening right now
00:23:38.71\00:23:41.82
and what's going to happen?
00:23:41.85\00:23:43.92
You get a lot of
lies, and one of the things,
00:23:43.95\00:23:45.62
but the Bible
tells you the truth.
00:23:45.65\00:23:48.19
Is for our
encouragement, it's for our,
00:23:48.22\00:23:53.36
you know, build our faith.
00:23:53.40\00:23:55.10
It's for our assurance.
00:23:55.13\00:23:58.07
It's, you know,
it's for our hope.
00:23:58.10\00:24:00.54
And I read this and I
gather hope and encouragement
00:24:00.57\00:24:04.41
of these glorious
truths concerning the days,
00:24:04.44\00:24:08.48
you know, last
days of earth's history.
00:24:08.51\00:24:10.55
If we could get that really
through our minds, we are in.
00:24:10.58\00:24:13.65
You said it so
many times in your life,
00:24:13.68\00:24:15.48
I have too,
00:24:15.52\00:24:16.85
we're in the last
days of earth's history.
00:24:16.89\00:24:18.32
But now believe it.
00:24:18.35\00:24:20.49
We must believe that we are,
and if we believe that we are,
00:24:20.52\00:24:24.19
our actions will
maybe be a little different
00:24:24.23\00:24:26.36
than they have been.
00:24:26.39\00:24:28.10
We won't worry so
much about this and that
00:24:28.13\00:24:30.53
or the remnant as
Jesus talked about, right?
00:24:30.57\00:24:34.24
He said, "I've take
note of the sparrows,
00:24:34.27\00:24:35.74
I don't know what
they have need of,
00:24:35.77\00:24:37.11
and aren't you more than these?
00:24:37.14\00:24:38.84
And so, you know, take
no thought for the morrow,
00:24:38.87\00:24:40.88
for the morrow
takes thought of itself.
00:24:40.91\00:24:42.64
Sufficient unto
today is the evil thereof.
00:24:42.68\00:24:46.82
The Bible said,
knowledge shall increase.
00:24:46.85\00:24:49.82
All we're doing is looking
back and proving to begin with
00:24:49.85\00:24:51.79
and laying a good
foundation we pray to say,
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.76
we realize the
Book of Daniel is open.
00:24:54.79\00:24:56.93
Things that were sealed for
all the other people right now
00:24:56.96\00:24:59.49
in the last days which we are in
00:24:59.53\00:25:01.36
there and sealed.
00:25:01.40\00:25:03.16
And God's people,
00:25:03.20\00:25:04.53
the wise is going to understand.
00:25:04.57\00:25:06.63
Evil ones are not going to
00:25:06.67\00:25:08.00
because they're not
going to be studying.
00:25:08.04\00:25:11.34
I'm not talking
about just reading,
00:25:11.37\00:25:12.71
I'm talking about studying.
00:25:12.74\00:25:14.08
The Bible said and
knowledge shall increase.
00:25:14.11\00:25:17.35
I read something interesting
00:25:17.38\00:25:18.71
and I want to share it with you.
00:25:18.75\00:25:20.62
George Riesman,
he writes in a book,
00:25:20.65\00:25:23.12
he's got a book out,
it's called Capitalism.
00:25:23.15\00:25:25.59
That's interesting, Capitalism.
00:25:25.62\00:25:27.29
Over 30 some years
ago, he writes this.
00:25:27.32\00:25:30.86
He's a professor of economics
00:25:30.89\00:25:34.33
at the Pepperdine
University, and author.
00:25:34.36\00:25:38.97
Now we can say, "Oh, well,
00:25:39.00\00:25:40.34
now he knows his business well."
00:25:40.37\00:25:42.07
If he harmonized with Scripture,
00:25:42.10\00:25:43.57
he knows his business.
00:25:43.61\00:25:45.17
If he doesn't, he
doesn't know his business.
00:25:45.21\00:25:47.71
Is that okay?
00:25:47.74\00:25:49.28
I'm just being truthful,
doesn't mean he's not smart,
00:25:49.31\00:25:52.08
doesn't mean he's
earned degrees, it's not that.
00:25:52.11\00:25:55.18
But he writes about the
industrial civilization.
00:25:55.22\00:25:59.65
He writes about
changes that is taking place,
00:25:59.69\00:26:02.56
and is taking place so quickly.
00:26:02.59\00:26:04.29
And in the 18th
and 19th century,
00:26:04.33\00:26:06.33
this religious awakening
and the Book of Daniel open
00:26:06.36\00:26:09.03
and people are
looking and saying
00:26:09.06\00:26:10.60
something big
is about to happen.
00:26:10.63\00:26:13.30
He writes this,
is very interesting.
00:26:13.34\00:26:15.80
He says, talking about people.
00:26:15.84\00:26:18.44
He says, "They live on a level,"
00:26:18.47\00:26:20.78
notice this,
talking about us today.
00:26:20.81\00:26:22.54
He says, "We live on
a level far exceeding
00:26:22.58\00:26:26.25
that of kings and emperors,
and all previous ages."
00:26:26.28\00:26:31.99
He said today that
people were living high.
00:26:32.02\00:26:35.19
Can I say this,
my mom, dad said,
00:26:35.22\00:26:36.76
oh, you're
living high on the hog.
00:26:36.79\00:26:39.29
I might have had a dollar or two
00:26:39.33\00:26:40.66
and I spend it like I would...
00:26:40.70\00:26:42.76
Then you're
living high on a hog boy,
00:26:42.80\00:26:44.13
but that's going to be gone
on tomorrow, then where you go?
00:26:44.17\00:26:46.47
Okay, some of you know
what I'm talking about.
00:26:46.50\00:26:48.14
We live on a level that
just a few generations ago
00:26:51.61\00:26:57.18
would have been
regarded as just impossible.
00:26:57.21\00:27:01.12
It just could not be.
00:27:01.15\00:27:03.95
We would say, to
live like we're living now
00:27:03.99\00:27:06.19
several
generations ago would be like,
00:27:06.22\00:27:09.56
live in science fiction.
00:27:09.59\00:27:12.49
Sci-fi world.
00:27:12.53\00:27:16.33
I thought that in the 1980s
00:27:16.36\00:27:17.80
I thought if we
ever get to 2000,
00:27:17.83\00:27:21.07
the cars will be flying.
00:27:21.10\00:27:22.44
They'll make cars,
and they can do that, too,
00:27:25.31\00:27:28.28
you know, they've had some.
00:27:28.31\00:27:30.81
See I knew some
of you been reading.
00:27:30.85\00:27:32.71
But it would
just been sci-fi with,
00:27:35.75\00:27:37.55
you know, cars with
their own just turn of a key.
00:27:37.59\00:27:42.22
A push, push a pedal.
00:27:42.26\00:27:45.29
Get all the
steering wheel as it were.
00:27:45.33\00:27:47.93
They drive along the highways,
00:27:47.96\00:27:49.73
you know, speeds,
high speeds right now.
00:27:49.76\00:27:53.37
It's a wonderful
machine they call the car.
00:27:53.40\00:27:57.51
He said with a flick of a switch
00:27:57.54\00:27:59.71
he's observing things.
00:27:59.74\00:28:01.08
The flick of a switch.
00:28:01.11\00:28:02.44
They go into a dark room,
00:28:02.48\00:28:03.81
it lights the whole
room up and you can see.
00:28:03.85\00:28:07.98
Just a little flick of a switch.
00:28:08.02\00:28:10.32
With a touch of
a button, he says,
00:28:10.35\00:28:12.05
they watch events
taking place 10,000 miles away
00:28:12.09\00:28:17.26
and we know around the world.
00:28:17.29\00:28:20.66
Think about how that's changed
in the last few centuries.
00:28:20.70\00:28:24.03
Oh, my, with a
touch of few other buttons
00:28:24.07\00:28:26.74
they talk to other
people on the phone
00:28:26.77\00:28:29.07
or in their neighborhood
or around the world.
00:28:29.10\00:28:33.27
They fly through
the air in aeroplanes,
00:28:33.31\00:28:36.11
600 miles he's
riding over 30 years ago.
00:28:36.14\00:28:38.11
Six hundred miles an hour,
00:28:38.15\00:28:40.75
and they've got air
condition and movies,
00:28:40.78\00:28:45.02
and peanuts...
00:28:45.05\00:28:46.39
Little snacks, okay,
00:28:50.03\00:28:53.16
yeah, and comfort.
00:28:53.19\00:28:57.87
If you live in the United States
00:28:57.90\00:28:59.23
you have most
generally have a home,
00:28:59.27\00:29:00.64
it's a spacious
home or apartment.
00:29:00.67\00:29:03.67
There's heating, and
there's air conditioning,
00:29:03.71\00:29:05.77
and there's refrigerators
and there's freezers.
00:29:05.81\00:29:09.34
Yeah.
00:29:09.38\00:29:13.25
Electric stoves, or
gas stoves and he's going,
00:29:13.28\00:29:16.52
they can have
all of this that says
00:29:16.55\00:29:18.72
as well as a long, good life.
00:29:18.75\00:29:21.76
And notice this,
00:29:21.79\00:29:23.12
and this is the result
of working 40 hours a week.
00:29:23.16\00:29:26.66
Well, not for some but,
00:29:31.00\00:29:33.90
most people work 40
hours a week, whatever.
00:29:33.94\00:29:36.17
And they can have all
of these things and they,
00:29:36.20\00:29:39.21
he said it's
unheard of the time,
00:29:39.24\00:29:41.24
which Daniel said,
00:29:41.28\00:29:42.61
you know, he talks about
knowledge would increase,
00:29:42.64\00:29:44.48
men would run what?
00:29:44.51\00:29:45.85
To and fro,
things would be opened up
00:29:45.88\00:29:47.78
and it can be a lot
more sci-fi if we had time.
00:29:47.82\00:29:51.25
We're not going to do that.
00:29:51.29\00:29:54.92
We're talking
about flying saucers
00:29:54.96\00:29:56.32
and people coming from
other places in the world.
00:29:56.36\00:29:59.39
Bible says men
shall run to and fro,
00:29:59.43\00:30:01.93
knowledge should be increased,
00:30:01.96\00:30:04.00
the wicked is going to do what?
00:30:04.03\00:30:05.47
Wickedly, they're not
going to able be understand
00:30:05.50\00:30:07.87
Daniel 12:4 and 10.
00:30:07.90\00:30:10.87
Interesting.
00:30:10.91\00:30:12.24
Matthew, Jesus
said, Matthew 24:15,
00:30:12.27\00:30:15.01
He said, "Who so
readeth, let him understand."
00:30:15.04\00:30:19.55
Here's our problem.
00:30:19.58\00:30:20.92
It's not what's
in the Word of God,
00:30:20.95\00:30:22.45
it's us getting
in the Word of God
00:30:22.48\00:30:23.99
and getting through it, right?
00:30:24.02\00:30:25.72
We need to get in,
you say, "Well, I do,
00:30:25.75\00:30:27.42
I spend five
minutes with him today."
00:30:27.46\00:30:28.79
Oh, stop.
00:30:28.82\00:30:30.16
Takes me longer
when I tie my shoes.
00:30:33.96\00:30:38.43
You know what I mean.
00:30:38.47\00:30:42.07
We've got to try
by the grace of God
00:30:42.10\00:30:44.01
to spend time.
00:30:44.04\00:30:45.37
We don't have
time, we get up earlier,
00:30:45.41\00:30:46.74
and we make time.
00:30:46.78\00:30:49.28
And when you read these things,
remember you are guaranteed
00:30:49.31\00:30:53.45
those who are
studying in the last days,
00:30:53.48\00:30:55.55
and I'm talking about
those who want to know,
00:30:55.58\00:30:58.69
those who will
study intelligently.
00:30:58.72\00:31:02.86
But by the aid
of the Holy Spirit,
00:31:02.89\00:31:04.59
the power of God will understand
00:31:04.63\00:31:06.70
God's message for this time.
00:31:06.73\00:31:10.10
That's got to make sense.
00:31:10.13\00:31:11.50
You will.
00:31:11.53\00:31:12.87
Just saying I don't understand
00:31:12.90\00:31:14.24
is because
you're not in the Word.
00:31:14.27\00:31:15.60
I don't
understand, you're not praying.
00:31:15.64\00:31:17.31
You're not
asking for the guidance
00:31:17.34\00:31:18.67
of the Holy Spirit.
00:31:18.71\00:31:20.44
Interesting.
00:31:20.48\00:31:21.81
Revelation 14:6-7,
00:31:21.84\00:31:23.78
we understand it as giving
you the first angel's message.
00:31:23.81\00:31:26.41
Is that right?
00:31:26.45\00:31:28.15
Do you realize the
majority of the world
00:31:28.18\00:31:30.05
and the churches today
have never heard a sermon
00:31:30.09\00:31:32.39
on the Three Angels' Message?
00:31:32.42\00:31:34.69
How sad, because
it is the last message
00:31:34.72\00:31:37.59
to go into the entire world,
00:31:37.63\00:31:40.00
to warn the world,
00:31:40.03\00:31:41.43
equip the world for
the coming of Jesus,
00:31:41.46\00:31:43.73
and certainly
prepare us for His coming.
00:31:43.77\00:31:46.74
If God gives such
a warning message,
00:31:46.77\00:31:48.97
should we not take it seriously?
00:31:49.00\00:31:51.67
Absolutely.
00:31:51.71\00:31:53.04
This angel with a loud
voice, telling us remember,
00:31:53.07\00:31:56.41
remember the last days,
we're talking about Daniel,
00:31:56.44\00:31:59.55
talking about men
will run to and fro,
00:31:59.58\00:32:01.28
knowledge shall increase,
00:32:01.32\00:32:02.65
things are going to be
happening in the world today.
00:32:02.68\00:32:04.19
It talks about a
religious awakening
00:32:07.52\00:32:10.59
that would take place
00:32:10.63\00:32:11.96
just prior to
the coming of Jesus.
00:32:11.99\00:32:14.36
And one of the things
that wakes up the world
00:32:14.40\00:32:16.06
is the giving of the
Three Angels' Message.
00:32:16.10\00:32:19.57
Because remember, it
puts our minds back to what?
00:32:19.60\00:32:22.94
Remember, in fact,
back to the beginning
00:32:22.97\00:32:25.01
and the keeping of
the seventh day Sabbath.
00:32:25.04\00:32:26.91
Let's just get it on, shall we?
00:32:26.94\00:32:29.18
Remember, He said,
"Go back and worship
00:32:29.21\00:32:30.91
the one who made
heaven and earth,
00:32:30.95\00:32:32.28
and the sea and
all that in the midst."
00:32:32.31\00:32:33.65
To worship the one who
made and created, right?
00:32:33.68\00:32:35.65
We go back to the very beginning
00:32:35.68\00:32:37.02
because we what?
00:32:37.05\00:32:38.39
We forgot to remember.
00:32:38.42\00:32:39.85
That what the fourth one said,
00:32:39.89\00:32:41.22
remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:32:41.26\00:32:43.16
A sign that He's our
Creator and our Redeemer.
00:32:43.19\00:32:45.73
And well, first angel's messages
00:32:45.76\00:32:47.33
go back why?
00:32:47.36\00:32:48.70
Because the world
has covered it up.
00:32:48.73\00:32:51.17
And they don't
see the importance,
00:32:51.20\00:32:52.53
they haven't
heard the importance.
00:32:52.57\00:32:53.90
The devil has covered it up.
00:32:53.94\00:32:55.60
And then the hour of
His judgment is come.
00:32:55.64\00:32:58.84
So that simply means
there would be a specific time
00:32:58.87\00:33:01.58
that the judgment would begin.
00:33:01.61\00:33:04.48
And we realize that, it says
remember, after that 1260 year,
00:33:04.51\00:33:09.48
after 1798, this
would take place.
00:33:09.52\00:33:14.02
It's given with a loud voice.
00:33:14.06\00:33:15.42
It is a warning to those
who dwell upon the earth.
00:33:15.46\00:33:19.49
Because it says it's every what?
00:33:19.53\00:33:21.23
Nation, kindred,
tongue, and people.
00:33:21.26\00:33:24.43
Listen, how far
would this message go
00:33:24.47\00:33:26.13
if it's up to you?
00:33:26.17\00:33:27.87
If it was just up to me.
00:33:27.90\00:33:31.51
See, what are we doing
00:33:31.54\00:33:32.87
as it were to
get this message out?
00:33:32.91\00:33:34.41
Are we given something else?
00:33:34.44\00:33:37.11
Nothing is to occupy the mind
00:33:37.15\00:33:38.71
but the giving of the
Three Angels' Message.
00:33:38.75\00:33:40.92
Now we realize we have to
have that commitment to Christ,
00:33:40.95\00:33:43.22
and we made that
commitment to Him.
00:33:43.25\00:33:45.02
But remember, this is the
last three warning message
00:33:45.05\00:33:47.69
given to the world
before Jesus comes.
00:33:47.72\00:33:50.83
Again, going back to
the way God set it up.
00:33:50.86\00:33:54.06
And then when
people hear, you say,
00:33:54.10\00:33:56.03
"Why are we
giving Bible studies?"
00:33:56.06\00:33:57.77
Well, why not?
00:33:57.80\00:34:00.74
We have to understand
the devil is teaching lies
00:34:00.77\00:34:03.61
on every subject.
00:34:03.64\00:34:06.07
You talk about hell,
the devil's doing what?
00:34:06.11\00:34:09.74
He's teaching lie about hell.
00:34:09.78\00:34:11.48
Talk about
heaven, he's teaching lie.
00:34:11.51\00:34:12.88
Talk about
Sabbath, he's teaching lie.
00:34:12.91\00:34:14.38
He's given you a counterfeit.
00:34:14.42\00:34:17.75
So we studied the Word of God
and understand what truth is,
00:34:17.79\00:34:21.16
truth sanctifies, prepares
us for the coming of Jesus.
00:34:21.19\00:34:25.56
This message will be given.
00:34:25.59\00:34:26.93
Once these things are studied,
00:34:26.96\00:34:29.50
then the second
angel's message is what?
00:34:29.53\00:34:31.93
Come out of her my people
00:34:31.97\00:34:33.30
is basically
what it is, isn't it?
00:34:33.34\00:34:34.67
God gives the call, then
you've heard these truths,
00:34:34.70\00:34:37.01
they have been
established in the Word of God
00:34:37.04\00:34:38.81
if people will sit long enough.
00:34:38.84\00:34:43.08
If they will
study, it's very simple.
00:34:43.11\00:34:46.85
Is it okay?
00:34:46.88\00:34:48.22
Is all right, isn't it?
00:34:48.25\00:34:49.58
It's very simple to see it
00:34:49.62\00:34:50.95
because it just overlaps
one thing after the other
00:34:50.99\00:34:53.15
and you can trace
it all through history.
00:34:53.19\00:34:54.52
It's very simple.
00:34:54.56\00:34:55.89
Study the Book of Daniel, man,
00:34:55.92\00:34:57.26
God sets up all the kingdoms
and the kingdoms fall down
00:34:57.29\00:35:00.36
and then the
other power comes up.
00:35:00.40\00:35:01.73
And we're warned about the power
00:35:01.76\00:35:03.20
or a little horn power
00:35:03.23\00:35:04.57
and the one who
speaks you know what?
00:35:04.60\00:35:06.67
Revelation 13,
the dragon, right?
00:35:06.70\00:35:08.37
It come up like a lamb
and it speaks like a dragon.
00:35:08.40\00:35:10.87
It causes the world
00:35:10.91\00:35:12.24
and all them to dwell to worship
00:35:12.27\00:35:14.18
the first beast,
that's a Sunday law.
00:35:14.21\00:35:16.04
Come on, we've got to
get with the program here.
00:35:16.08\00:35:19.41
Yeah.
00:35:19.45\00:35:21.65
See, the Book of
Daniel and Revelation
00:35:21.68\00:35:24.09
tells of a message
that encircles the glow.
00:35:24.12\00:35:26.62
The message helps us, listen,
00:35:26.65\00:35:28.82
the message itself helps
us to understand this movement
00:35:28.86\00:35:32.46
and when it's to take place.
00:35:32.49\00:35:35.36
We're right in the middle of it.
00:35:35.40\00:35:37.43
You know what it is?
00:35:37.47\00:35:38.80
It's a part of
the everlasting gospel
00:35:38.83\00:35:40.17
you ever hear.
00:35:40.20\00:35:41.54
People say everlasting
gospel people start show,
00:35:41.57\00:35:43.91
everybody got,
talk about prophecy,
00:35:43.94\00:35:46.14
and horns and beast and,
you know, mark of the beast.
00:35:46.17\00:35:51.48
You know what I'm talking about.
00:35:51.51\00:35:53.25
Say everlasting
gospel, they go, "Oh."
00:35:53.28\00:35:55.98
Well, praise
God. That's all good.
00:35:56.02\00:35:57.52
But there's other
things in there too
00:35:57.55\00:35:59.79
that God warns us about.
00:35:59.82\00:36:02.99
This we're talking about
00:36:03.02\00:36:04.36
is part of the
everlasting gospel,
00:36:04.39\00:36:07.50
is part of the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:36:07.53\00:36:11.57
And listen, the
gospel of Jesus Christ,
00:36:11.60\00:36:14.17
the everlasting gospel,
can only be given the way
00:36:14.20\00:36:17.74
it should be given
at the end of time.
00:36:17.77\00:36:20.98
That means during
the hour of the judgment,
00:36:21.01\00:36:23.75
the judgment hour.
00:36:23.78\00:36:25.68
Remember, Daniel
was told to what?
00:36:25.71\00:36:27.55
Close up.
00:36:27.58\00:36:29.08
He was told to what?
00:36:29.12\00:36:30.45
Just seal part of
what God had given him,
00:36:30.49\00:36:36.06
remember, relating to
the last days until the,
00:36:36.09\00:36:40.70
what is it, Daniel 12:4
until the time of the end.
00:36:40.73\00:36:45.23
We are here now.
00:36:45.27\00:36:47.54
Listen, that shouldn't surprise,
00:36:47.57\00:36:49.04
you say, "Well I'm
not sure about that."
00:36:49.07\00:36:51.11
You remember what Paul said?
00:36:51.14\00:36:53.07
What did Paul preach?
00:36:53.11\00:36:54.58
Did he preach that
Jesus was coming in his day?
00:36:54.61\00:36:57.28
Somebody say no. No.
00:36:57.31\00:36:58.85
No, he did not.
00:36:58.88\00:37:00.22
But he wanted us
to live our life,
00:37:00.25\00:37:01.58
he wanted to get it all right.
00:37:01.62\00:37:02.95
And what a wonderful
man of God, absolutely.
00:37:02.98\00:37:04.92
Paul told the church,
00:37:04.95\00:37:07.06
don't expect Jesus to
come, you see, in his day.
00:37:07.09\00:37:12.36
Don't expect him
to come in his day.
00:37:12.39\00:37:13.73
He say,"Well, I
don't know that."
00:37:13.76\00:37:15.63
2 Thessalonians 2:3
makes it very, very clear.
00:37:15.66\00:37:20.97
Paul says, notice
this, you know this passage,
00:37:21.00\00:37:25.17
"Except there comes
a falling away first."
00:37:25.21\00:37:29.51
Did you get it?
00:37:29.54\00:37:30.88
And there's going to
be a falling away first
00:37:30.91\00:37:32.55
and the man of sin will be what?
00:37:32.58\00:37:35.65
He's going to be revealed.
00:37:35.68\00:37:37.39
Let's break that down.
00:37:37.42\00:37:38.75
The man of sin,
00:37:38.79\00:37:40.39
that means there's going
to come at a certain time
00:37:40.42\00:37:44.19
that the man of sin
is going to be revealed.
00:37:44.23\00:37:46.66
That means he's
going to be uncovered.
00:37:46.70\00:37:49.03
That means the man of
sin is going to be exposed.
00:37:49.06\00:37:52.53
That means he's
going to be made known
00:37:52.57\00:37:54.27
and how's he
going to be made known
00:37:54.30\00:37:55.94
if you don't do your
job, if I don't do my job,
00:37:55.97\00:37:58.07
which I know that
I'm supposed to do
00:37:58.11\00:37:59.61
is warning about the beast,
00:37:59.64\00:38:01.28
that little horn power, right?
00:38:01.31\00:38:02.88
That what Daniel said.
00:38:02.91\00:38:04.25
Be careful, watch that
little horn, watch out.
00:38:04.28\00:38:07.55
Is that kind of what he said?
00:38:07.58\00:38:08.92
Of those 10
kingdoms, you remember?
00:38:12.35\00:38:14.36
He said that little horn
would come up among them.
00:38:14.39\00:38:16.56
It wasn't one of the 10,
but it came up among them,
00:38:16.59\00:38:18.73
and when it came up
among them and uprooted three.
00:38:18.76\00:38:21.23
If there were only 10
kingdoms in the world,
00:38:21.26\00:38:23.73
at that point in
time and written,
00:38:23.77\00:38:25.10
everybody would
know there's just 10.
00:38:25.13\00:38:27.27
Now we have so
many different power
00:38:27.30\00:38:28.70
and kingdom in world, whatever,
it is so many, it's hard, 10.
00:38:28.74\00:38:32.27
And so when the
little horn came up,
00:38:32.31\00:38:33.68
and three of them were gone,
00:38:33.71\00:38:35.78
you would know that
power that uprooted them,
00:38:35.81\00:38:37.65
would you not?
00:38:37.68\00:38:39.01
He had eyes like
the eyes of a man,
00:38:39.05\00:38:40.38
he speak blasphemies.
00:38:40.42\00:38:41.75
Isn't that right?
00:38:41.78\00:38:44.29
Man, we talk about power here
00:38:44.32\00:38:45.92
that we have to
warn the world against
00:38:45.95\00:38:47.52
because this power has
taken the world captive.
00:38:47.56\00:38:51.43
And the time will come,
I'm going to say it nicely,
00:38:51.46\00:38:54.63
where will you be horse swept.
00:38:54.66\00:38:57.50
A little different now nowadays.
00:38:57.53\00:38:58.87
That's what I heard
when I was growing up.
00:38:58.90\00:39:01.10
That you won't be able to
say what I'm saying right now
00:39:01.14\00:39:03.27
without paying.
00:39:03.30\00:39:05.24
And what's being said
right now that it will come back
00:39:05.27\00:39:07.71
and there's still
going to be a price to pay.
00:39:07.74\00:39:09.24
Ain't that true?
00:39:12.31\00:39:15.58
So we have to say it.
00:39:15.62\00:39:16.99
Now we have to, you
know, the man of sin
00:39:17.02\00:39:21.66
is going to be uncovered,
is going to be make known.
00:39:21.69\00:39:23.46
The man of sin is
going to be exposed.
00:39:23.49\00:39:24.86
Who's going to
expose the man of sin?
00:39:24.89\00:39:26.33
Let's talk a
little bit about that.
00:39:26.36\00:39:29.06
Remember, it's not until
after this great apostasy
00:39:29.10\00:39:33.87
of this man of sin,
00:39:33.90\00:39:36.57
that long period
reign of the man of sin,
00:39:36.60\00:39:39.44
we talked about 1260
years, ain't that right?
00:39:39.47\00:39:43.04
A papal supremacy, 538,
1798 and going a lot different.
00:39:43.08\00:39:48.18
But you know, at
one point in scripture
00:39:48.22\00:39:50.99
it says 42 months.
00:39:51.02\00:39:53.32
Herb, would I get
that when I read that
00:39:53.36\00:39:54.69
the same period
of time, is it not?
00:39:54.72\00:39:57.23
You take 42 months a day a time,
00:39:57.26\00:39:58.73
that's still 1260 days.
00:39:58.76\00:40:01.06
That's what the Bible
said there in Revelation 13:5.
00:40:01.10\00:40:04.00
And then when I read
in the Bible, he said,
00:40:04.03\00:40:06.47
"This power is going
to be ruling for a time
00:40:06.50\00:40:08.24
and a times and
dividing of times,
00:40:08.27\00:40:10.24
I still look at that,
360, 720 and half a time,
00:40:10.27\00:40:13.74
180, I still come up 1260.
00:40:13.78\00:40:16.54
Do you?
00:40:16.58\00:40:17.91
I still come up
with that same time,
00:40:17.95\00:40:19.41
Revelation 12:14.
00:40:19.45\00:40:22.08
And then it comes
out just plain and says
00:40:22.12\00:40:24.12
this power is going
to rule for 1260 years,
00:40:24.15\00:40:28.22
Revelation 12:6.
00:40:28.26\00:40:30.06
If you're not
jotting these down,
00:40:30.09\00:40:31.43
you don't go
back, you're not going,
00:40:31.46\00:40:32.79
you cannot and I
cannot follow what the...
00:40:32.83\00:40:35.36
We're talking about the Romanism
00:40:35.40\00:40:36.80
or the papacy
and their teachings,
00:40:36.83\00:40:38.77
which are not in the Word of God
00:40:38.80\00:40:40.20
and plan on
heaven being our home.
00:40:40.24\00:40:41.97
Or tell me today that
it makes no difference.
00:40:42.00\00:40:44.57
Should I sit down
a minute and rest?
00:40:44.61\00:40:45.94
No.
00:40:45.97\00:40:47.31
I'm not tired.
00:40:47.34\00:40:48.68
Can I say this nicely, but
I'm getting tired of people
00:40:51.31\00:40:53.18
just saying it's not important.
00:40:53.21\00:40:56.62
Is it okay to say that?
00:40:56.65\00:40:57.99
Well, I don't know that,
don't you upset some time,
00:40:58.02\00:40:59.92
you know what I mean?
00:40:59.95\00:41:01.29
We want people to hear
it, and people to accept it.
00:41:01.32\00:41:05.96
Why?
00:41:05.99\00:41:07.33
Because you see over
and over in Scripture,
00:41:07.36\00:41:08.70
it says the same things.
00:41:08.73\00:41:11.47
And so we know that
it's established as truth,
00:41:11.50\00:41:14.24
but the world
just doesn't hear it
00:41:14.27\00:41:16.07
because they
don't want to hear it.
00:41:16.10\00:41:19.57
So it's tough.
00:41:19.61\00:41:20.94
I hear that we look
for the coming of Jesus.
00:41:20.98\00:41:24.58
We're looking for the coming
of Jesus right now but we can.
00:41:24.61\00:41:27.98
If you still have doubt,
00:41:28.02\00:41:31.29
and I know we
covered an awful lot,
00:41:31.32\00:41:32.89
if you still have doubt
here at what's being said,
00:41:32.92\00:41:37.66
let me just make it
a little bit clearer,
00:41:37.69\00:41:41.33
the meaning, remember, the
meaning of this man of sin,
00:41:41.36\00:41:46.13
his distinguishing
characteristics, notice this,
00:41:46.17\00:41:51.41
of the man of sin.
00:41:51.44\00:41:53.41
Now notice, when you say, man,
you look in the Bible, it says,
00:41:53.44\00:41:56.44
man, it's pointing out
someone here, a definite man.
00:41:56.48\00:42:01.58
When you look up script,
00:42:01.62\00:42:02.95
it's pointing out
there's a definite man,
00:42:02.98\00:42:06.55
a definite power,
00:42:06.59\00:42:09.32
and he's lawless.
00:42:09.36\00:42:13.06
You don't want to follow that.
00:42:13.09\00:42:14.43
I don't want to follow that.
00:42:14.46\00:42:15.80
It's not
talking about individual
00:42:15.83\00:42:17.17
in their relationship.
00:42:17.20\00:42:18.53
It's talking about here.
00:42:18.57\00:42:19.90
The Bible says this, I know,
00:42:19.93\00:42:21.27
I'm reading what the Bible says.
00:42:21.30\00:42:24.17
Yeah. They call him the...
00:42:24.21\00:42:25.87
Remember the Bible said
he's the mystery of iniquity,
00:42:25.91\00:42:29.48
the son of perdition
that calls him wicked.
00:42:29.51\00:42:34.05
And I've said 100
times, and I'll say it 100,
00:42:34.08\00:42:36.65
God gives me strength to do it.
00:42:36.69\00:42:38.09
That represents the papacy,
there's no doubt about it.
00:42:38.12\00:42:42.62
You can see that power.
00:42:42.66\00:42:44.99
You say, "Well, I
haven't really studied."
00:42:45.03\00:42:46.36
Well, bless your heart.
00:42:46.39\00:42:47.73
If you study Daniel Chapter 2
00:42:47.76\00:42:49.10
and are you
going to get Babylon,
00:42:49.13\00:42:50.47
and then you're
going to get what power?
00:42:50.50\00:42:51.83
Medo-Persia, Greece, right?
00:42:51.87\00:42:53.50
Isn't that right?
00:42:53.54\00:42:54.87
Rome, and then what?
00:42:54.90\00:42:56.30
Be a pagan Rome naturally,
00:42:56.34\00:42:57.67
and what comes up
among those 10 nations,
00:42:57.71\00:42:59.74
little horn, the
papal power is next.
00:42:59.77\00:43:02.34
There's no doubt about it.
00:43:02.38\00:43:03.71
God calls this power right here,
00:43:03.75\00:43:05.45
is the man of sin,
the one who's lawless,
00:43:05.48\00:43:08.05
the one who's going to
try to change everything
00:43:08.08\00:43:09.88
that God stands for.
00:43:09.92\00:43:12.09
And you'll find as
we look at these things,
00:43:12.12\00:43:13.92
and we've studied over
and over for weeks in the past
00:43:13.96\00:43:17.03
about different subjects,
00:43:17.06\00:43:18.63
and where they came
from, from the Roman church.
00:43:18.66\00:43:21.16
They're the counterfeit,
not talking about people,
00:43:21.20\00:43:24.13
not trying to
make a judgement on it.
00:43:24.17\00:43:25.93
But we have to come to the point
00:43:25.97\00:43:27.30
where we say by
the grace of God.
00:43:27.34\00:43:30.57
Listen, the Bible
predicts it and Daniel,
00:43:30.61\00:43:33.91
somebody help me,
is it Daniel 8:12?
00:43:33.94\00:43:36.68
Daniel 8:12, it said this power,
00:43:36.71\00:43:40.25
lo, "This power cast the
truth down to the earth,"
00:43:40.28\00:43:45.15
and then what did on it?
00:43:45.19\00:43:48.02
What other religious
power has cast the truth
00:43:48.06\00:43:50.76
down and stomped on it?
00:43:50.79\00:43:53.96
Okay, nobody wants to
say it, I'm all right.
00:43:54.00\00:43:56.06
There'll be
somebody that will listen.
00:43:56.10\00:43:58.03
They're going to be
somebody that's going to say,
00:43:58.07\00:43:59.73
the Bible said this
power cast the truth
00:43:59.77\00:44:02.87
of God down to the ground.
00:44:02.90\00:44:05.64
You say, "Well, I
need a little more."
00:44:05.67\00:44:07.01
Let me give you
a little bit more.
00:44:07.04\00:44:09.04
The Great
Controversy, page 65, right?
00:44:09.08\00:44:12.71
Now what? What did he cast down?
00:44:12.75\00:44:14.35
"The law of God was
trampled to the ground,
00:44:14.38\00:44:20.32
and tradition and customs
00:44:20.36\00:44:24.06
of men exalted."
00:44:24.09\00:44:27.50
Remember, the Roman
Church simply says it,
00:44:27.53\00:44:29.13
how do we want to go along
00:44:29.16\00:44:30.50
with what they've been teaching?
00:44:30.53\00:44:31.87
It says what?
00:44:31.90\00:44:33.23
We hold that
tradition is above the Bible
00:44:33.27\00:44:35.64
in their own right, why?
00:44:35.67\00:44:37.01
You see what I mean?
00:44:40.71\00:44:42.08
I thought we Bible
belt people in Christians.
00:44:42.11\00:44:45.65
We say it must be
in the Word of God.
00:44:45.68\00:44:47.22
We're not going to go for it.
00:44:47.25\00:44:50.02
And yet you look at
all of these things,
00:44:50.05\00:44:51.59
I'm gonna say it, God has said.
00:44:51.62\00:44:54.22
When you look at Sunday,
Sabbath and Sunday issue,
00:44:54.26\00:44:57.39
remember, they said within
their writings over and over,
00:44:57.43\00:44:59.63
and I can give
you thousands of them.
00:44:59.66\00:45:01.00
We the Catholic
Church changed Saturday,
00:45:01.03\00:45:02.36
the seventh day of
the week to Sunday,
00:45:02.40\00:45:03.73
the first day of the week,
00:45:03.77\00:45:05.10
because we have the
power and authority to do so
00:45:05.13\00:45:06.70
the world pays homage to us,
00:45:06.74\00:45:08.40
in spite of themselves
by going to church on a day
00:45:08.44\00:45:10.61
that we made.
00:45:10.64\00:45:11.97
I'm not trying to be ugly,
00:45:14.98\00:45:18.11
I'm just trying to say
there is a truth or it's not?
00:45:18.15\00:45:20.25
If it's not important,
00:45:20.28\00:45:21.62
then I'll just keep my
mouth shut and sit down.
00:45:21.65\00:45:24.02
But I just feel like I
can't, because they say this.
00:45:24.05\00:45:29.49
Remember Daniel 7:25,
Herb, what does it say?
00:45:29.52\00:45:32.03
And he shall think to do what?
00:45:32.06\00:45:34.16
He shall think to change what?
00:45:34.20\00:45:35.93
Times and laws.
00:45:35.96\00:45:37.93
And remember, he thinks
00:45:37.97\00:45:39.87
the world has
based and remember,
00:45:39.90\00:45:41.50
and they follow what?
00:45:41.54\00:45:42.97
The world
follows after this power.
00:45:43.00\00:45:45.94
Remember, they follow
after him after 1260 years.
00:45:45.97\00:45:49.41
Daniel talks about then
and Revelation says what?
00:45:49.44\00:45:51.78
Then he receives a deadly
root wound in Revelation 13,
00:45:51.81\00:45:55.58
isn't it deadly wound?
00:45:55.62\00:45:56.95
Remember before that
00:45:56.99\00:45:58.32
all the world
wonders after the beast.
00:45:58.35\00:45:59.69
That means they're simply,
00:45:59.72\00:46:01.06
that means they
don't join the church.
00:46:01.09\00:46:02.42
That's simply saying
they're doing something
00:46:02.46\00:46:03.79
that he has held
up that he's changed.
00:46:03.83\00:46:05.36
He said, we've changed it
because we have the power to do
00:46:05.39\00:46:07.50
so because we are God on earth.
00:46:07.53\00:46:10.83
That's blasphemy.
00:46:10.87\00:46:12.20
I can give you those quotes.
00:46:12.23\00:46:13.57
I'm telling you,
00:46:13.60\00:46:14.94
why is it that we
listen to this kind of stuff.
00:46:14.97\00:46:17.24
Listen to the Word of God.
00:46:17.27\00:46:18.91
God says, remember, He says,
00:46:18.94\00:46:21.31
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy,
00:46:21.34\00:46:22.91
six days shall thou
labor and do all thy work,
00:46:22.94\00:46:24.98
but the seventh day is a Sabbath
00:46:25.01\00:46:26.35
of the Lord thy God."
00:46:26.38\00:46:27.72
It ends there.
00:46:27.75\00:46:29.08
For me, it ends there, I
don't need a lot of others.
00:46:29.12\00:46:32.65
It's the Sabbath
of the Lord thy God.
00:46:32.69\00:46:37.33
To me that just, it's God's day.
00:46:37.36\00:46:40.40
It doesn't belong to Adventist,
00:46:40.43\00:46:41.93
it doesn't belong
to Seventh-day Baptist,
00:46:41.96\00:46:43.90
it doesn't belong the
Seventh-day Church of God,
00:46:43.93\00:46:45.87
there are such a
thing as you know.
00:46:45.90\00:46:48.64
But the remnant church
is identified in two marks,
00:46:48.67\00:46:51.21
they keep the commandments
God and have the faith of Jesus
00:46:51.24\00:46:54.08
or the testimony of Jesus,
00:46:54.11\00:46:55.61
or the Spirit of Prophecy
operating in the church,
00:46:55.64\00:46:58.31
until Jesus will come.
00:46:58.35\00:46:59.68
It's a gift in the
New Testament Church.
00:46:59.71\00:47:01.75
It's going to
operate till Jesus comes.
00:47:01.78\00:47:03.72
We need that help.
00:47:03.75\00:47:05.52
We need that help right now.
00:47:05.55\00:47:07.26
Lord, have mercy on
me, I need that help.
00:47:07.29\00:47:09.59
I need that understanding
00:47:09.62\00:47:11.09
that God said I'm going to give.
00:47:11.13\00:47:12.46
I've given it
all through the ages,
00:47:12.49\00:47:13.90
from the beginning of time,
00:47:13.93\00:47:15.26
I've had My
children, I've had my servant,
00:47:15.30\00:47:16.80
I've revealed
them things to them
00:47:16.83\00:47:19.03
so that they can
reveal them to you and me
00:47:19.07\00:47:20.97
so that we can follow.
00:47:21.00\00:47:22.34
Paul says, a time is coming
00:47:25.71\00:47:29.11
when men would turn into fables.
00:47:29.14\00:47:30.68
See, it's what
people doing, majority,
00:47:34.22\00:47:36.72
the people, they
come in here in this place
00:47:36.75\00:47:38.09
with jam packed and food
and we cut another line out,
00:47:38.12\00:47:40.06
you know what they say?
00:47:40.09\00:47:41.42
Give us a fable.
00:47:41.46\00:47:42.79
I could get up here and preach,
00:47:42.82\00:47:45.49
I almost said damnable heresies.
00:47:45.53\00:47:47.36
Can I say that?
00:47:47.40\00:47:48.73
Could preach
heresies and untruth,
00:47:51.70\00:47:54.74
and people would love it.
00:47:54.77\00:47:56.50
Are you still with me?
00:47:56.54\00:47:58.07
And they want to
come back for more.
00:47:58.11\00:47:59.54
But when they hear things
like this they are saying,
00:47:59.57\00:48:01.21
"Oh, this it can't possibly be."
00:48:01.24\00:48:03.08
Even though the word
just says it's so plain.
00:48:03.11\00:48:06.15
It's traced to history.
00:48:06.18\00:48:09.62
I mean, you can
trace it so simple
00:48:09.65\00:48:11.82
what we're talking about here.
00:48:11.85\00:48:13.36
It can't go.
00:48:13.39\00:48:15.06
Who changed the time?
00:48:15.09\00:48:18.19
There are just a
few minutes left.
00:48:18.23\00:48:20.40
I'm nowhere even near half done.
00:48:20.43\00:48:24.17
Sorry for you.
00:48:24.20\00:48:25.53
Paul says what?
00:48:28.67\00:48:30.01
They're going to love fables.
00:48:30.04\00:48:31.37
They're not going
to love the truth.
00:48:31.41\00:48:32.77
Majority is not
going to accept it.
00:48:32.81\00:48:34.51
They're not
going to listen to you.
00:48:34.54\00:48:35.88
They're going to throw you out.
00:48:35.91\00:48:37.25
They don't want to hear it.
00:48:37.28\00:48:38.61
Their ear is tingle,
00:48:38.65\00:48:39.98
but they don't
tingle because of truth.
00:48:40.02\00:48:41.35
They tingling
because that hurts them
00:48:41.38\00:48:42.72
and they don't
want and they know
00:48:42.75\00:48:44.09
they're not going to change.
00:48:44.12\00:48:45.45
And the best thing is,
we're going to get out of here.
00:48:45.49\00:48:48.26
Read that 1 Timothy 4,
00:48:48.29\00:48:49.79
just read the whole
chapter verses 1 through 3
00:48:49.82\00:48:51.59
and 2 Timothy
4:3-4, just read those.
00:48:51.63\00:48:54.30
John even says in 1 John 2:18.
00:48:54.33\00:48:57.37
He said at that time,
00:48:57.40\00:48:59.07
he said there's going to be
an awful lot of false prophets.
00:48:59.10\00:49:01.40
You remember that, Antichrist?
00:49:01.44\00:49:03.51
They said they're operating now.
00:49:03.54\00:49:04.87
Do you remember that?
00:49:04.91\00:49:07.08
Jesus said false prophets.
00:49:07.11\00:49:10.68
Matthew 7:15, 24, 24.
00:49:10.71\00:49:13.78
We have the spirit of rebellion
00:49:13.82\00:49:16.35
that's working
rampant in our world today.
00:49:16.38\00:49:19.09
There's a falling away.
00:49:19.12\00:49:21.19
And let me say the falling away
00:49:21.22\00:49:22.76
when Paul was
talking about there,
00:49:22.79\00:49:24.33
you know, was
partially fulfilled
00:49:24.36\00:49:26.43
in Paul's day.
00:49:26.46\00:49:28.66
Partially
fulfilled in the Dark Ages,
00:49:28.70\00:49:31.77
the 1260 years of prophecy,
00:49:31.80\00:49:34.27
but the complete fulfillment
00:49:34.30\00:49:35.74
will be just before Jesus comes.
00:49:35.77\00:49:38.61
This is excitement for us today
00:49:38.64\00:49:41.01
which we don't
have much time left.
00:49:41.04\00:49:43.45
Deceptions and
schemes in the world.
00:49:43.48\00:49:48.48
The enemy is trying to
get rid of the people of God
00:49:48.52\00:49:51.19
because the Bible said,
these make war with the Lamb.
00:49:51.22\00:49:55.16
There's a group
right that the world,
00:49:55.19\00:49:57.19
Revelation 17:14, they
make war with the Lamb.
00:49:57.23\00:50:00.73
You make war with
the Lamb all you want,
00:50:00.76\00:50:02.50
you're not going to win.
00:50:02.53\00:50:04.10
You can't make war
with the Lamb and win.
00:50:04.13\00:50:06.67
You might think you
can, you cannot, I cannot.
00:50:06.70\00:50:11.27
And what is he going to use?
00:50:11.31\00:50:12.64
Revelation 16:13-14, he
uses the spirit of devils,
00:50:12.67\00:50:16.34
he uses
spiritualism in the world today.
00:50:16.38\00:50:18.85
These three evil spirits
00:50:18.88\00:50:20.45
that cause the world
to all come together.
00:50:20.48\00:50:22.32
When you see the world
uniting and coming together,
00:50:22.35\00:50:24.15
and they will eventually, right?
00:50:24.19\00:50:26.45
For one hour in Revelation 17
with the beast, the short time,
00:50:26.49\00:50:32.06
that will be and that may be
debatable to a lot of people,
00:50:32.09\00:50:34.43
but that will be after probation
00:50:34.46\00:50:35.86
has already closed.
00:50:35.90\00:50:37.23
But there will be
a coming together,
00:50:37.27\00:50:38.80
not another world power,
00:50:38.83\00:50:40.17
but while
probation is still open.
00:50:40.20\00:50:41.60
But afterwards the
world will unite together.
00:50:41.64\00:50:43.81
You have Revelation
16:13-14, evil spirit.
00:50:43.84\00:50:47.34
Let me tell you, spiritualism
00:50:47.38\00:50:49.51
is going to be
involved in the last day.
00:50:49.54\00:50:50.91
Demons, did you get it?
00:50:50.95\00:50:52.45
The beast is
going to be involved.
00:50:52.48\00:50:54.12
and Revelation 17,
00:50:54.15\00:50:56.55
that's the papacy is involved.
00:50:56.58\00:50:58.39
And the United States of America
00:50:58.42\00:51:00.36
is going to be involved.
00:51:00.39\00:51:02.79
The United States of
America supports the first beast
00:51:02.82\00:51:05.93
which is the
papacy, and they make what?
00:51:05.96\00:51:08.50
Make an image to the beast.
00:51:08.53\00:51:09.96
It's just too much
here just take time
00:51:10.00\00:51:11.53
to prove and go
through everything.
00:51:11.57\00:51:13.64
But listen, when
you talk about today,
00:51:13.67\00:51:15.00
you think spiritualism is
not rampant in the world today.
00:51:15.04\00:51:19.01
Spiritualism is
rampant in the world.
00:51:19.04\00:51:20.44
This started when I
was just a child growing up
00:51:20.48\00:51:22.91
when they had things on
TV like Casper the Ghost.
00:51:22.94\00:51:25.21
Some of you are
not going to get it.
00:51:28.78\00:51:30.85
Yeah, ain't that right?
00:51:30.89\00:51:33.22
When they had things on there,
like, you know, Bewitched.
00:51:33.25\00:51:37.59
You see what I'm talking about?
00:51:42.36\00:51:44.87
This was setting us up.
00:51:44.90\00:51:48.04
We laughed at it,
00:51:48.07\00:51:49.40
and we probably
got tickled about it,
00:51:49.44\00:51:50.81
but we realized that the
enemy was setting all this up,
00:51:50.84\00:51:53.27
that the dead can
still speak to us,
00:51:53.31\00:51:55.11
that the dead can come back,
00:51:55.14\00:51:56.48
because we don't know the truth
of what happens when you die.
00:51:56.51\00:51:59.65
When you're dead, you're dead,
00:51:59.68\00:52:01.02
you don't come
back to this life.
00:52:01.05\00:52:03.15
The enemy can make it appear.
00:52:03.18\00:52:04.62
When you think about, listen,
just around us all the time,
00:52:08.16\00:52:11.59
contemplative
prayer, spiritual formation,
00:52:11.63\00:52:15.93
centering down,
centering prayer,
00:52:15.96\00:52:18.17
hypnotism, mind
emptying, all this stuff,
00:52:18.20\00:52:21.74
in time don't sit
down empty your mind
00:52:21.77\00:52:23.34
because the
devil will fill it up.
00:52:23.37\00:52:25.97
That mind God give you
to put thought to His Word
00:52:26.01\00:52:29.11
that we will not be deceived.
00:52:29.14\00:52:32.25
We live in a world
today, the enemy continues to,
00:52:32.28\00:52:37.32
I'm telling you,
where are we headed?
00:52:37.35\00:52:38.79
Maybe this is it,
we ended up here today.
00:52:38.82\00:52:40.49
Where are we really heading?
00:52:40.52\00:52:42.46
We hardly got into it at all.
00:52:42.49\00:52:43.83
But already we're seeing
00:52:43.86\00:52:45.29
what's taking place in the world
00:52:45.33\00:52:46.70
is transforming our society.
00:52:46.73\00:52:49.23
We are a changed country.
00:52:49.26\00:52:51.37
Things are being
tightened around us.
00:52:51.40\00:52:53.47
It's like a boa constrictor.
00:52:53.50\00:52:55.24
We take a little
breath and suck in
00:52:55.27\00:52:56.81
and he tightens around us again.
00:52:56.84\00:52:58.54
That's what the
enemy is doing right now.
00:52:58.57\00:53:00.34
Censorship is wild.
00:53:00.38\00:53:02.11
Our religious
liberties are being taken
00:53:02.14\00:53:03.95
from us right now.
00:53:03.98\00:53:05.71
It's spreading
intolerance for one another.
00:53:05.75\00:53:09.55
If anybody has different
views than what you have men
00:53:09.58\00:53:11.65
they say get rid of them.
00:53:11.69\00:53:13.02
We don't want to hear
anybody's different idea.
00:53:13.05\00:53:14.92
There's severe
punishment for those of us
00:53:14.96\00:53:16.93
who stand for what is truth.
00:53:16.96\00:53:18.29
You stand for
truth, dear friend,
00:53:18.33\00:53:19.66
you're on the line right now.
00:53:19.69\00:53:22.33
Somebody thinks,
00:53:22.36\00:53:23.70
you went too far on
a speech right quit,
00:53:23.73\00:53:25.13
they start calling for
severe action right now.
00:53:25.17\00:53:27.67
They called you to resign.
00:53:27.70\00:53:29.04
I don't care what office
you are in, in this country,
00:53:29.07\00:53:31.54
more troubling our country,
00:53:31.57\00:53:32.91
our companies and
businesses and leaders
00:53:32.94\00:53:35.91
who panic when something
said about their company
00:53:35.94\00:53:38.25
or something else in the world
00:53:38.28\00:53:39.61
where they can't make any sales.
00:53:39.65\00:53:41.25
Right?
00:53:41.28\00:53:42.62
They threaten them
and they wanna say,
00:53:42.65\00:53:43.99
"Oh, we want something
quick to happen to these people.
00:53:44.02\00:53:48.49
Let's put them
out of their misery.
00:53:48.52\00:53:49.86
Let's punish them."
00:53:49.89\00:53:51.23
And many times the
punishment doesn't fit
00:53:51.26\00:53:52.99
the so-called crime.
00:53:53.03\00:53:55.13
How bad is it gotten over?
00:53:55.16\00:53:58.13
Editors are fired for writing
about controversial subjects.
00:53:58.17\00:54:01.90
How bad has it gotten?
00:54:01.94\00:54:03.27
Books are rejected
because someone says
00:54:03.30\00:54:05.11
it's not authoritative.
00:54:05.14\00:54:06.81
Journalists are told not
to write on certain topics.
00:54:06.84\00:54:09.78
Professors are
called to the carpet
00:54:09.81\00:54:11.81
for quoting works of literature,
00:54:11.85\00:54:13.82
been there for a years.
00:54:13.85\00:54:15.18
Heads of organizations are fired
00:54:15.22\00:54:17.45
for a simple, honest mistake.
00:54:17.49\00:54:20.02
You know, can we
see the boundaries
00:54:20.06\00:54:21.39
of what's happening right here?
00:54:21.42\00:54:22.76
Free speech.
00:54:22.79\00:54:24.29
We're living in an
intolerant society.
00:54:24.33\00:54:27.56
We live in fear.
00:54:27.60\00:54:29.80
We're afraid to tell the truth.
00:54:29.83\00:54:33.70
We can't be
afraid these last hours
00:54:33.74\00:54:35.54
of earth's history to tell
what we understand is truth.
00:54:35.57\00:54:39.27
Any violation of the
fundamental principles
00:54:39.31\00:54:42.78
of religious liberty,
00:54:42.81\00:54:44.41
we have to stand
for what is right.
00:54:44.45\00:54:46.72
United States are
going to be taking steps
00:54:46.75\00:54:48.48
and we're seeing
taking steps right now.
00:54:48.52\00:54:51.82
To where every
part of our Constitution
00:54:51.85\00:54:53.69
is repudiated is
gone, we know that.
00:54:53.72\00:54:56.39
It's our duty to do all
that we can by the grace of God
00:54:56.42\00:54:59.46
as we close out this session.
00:54:59.49\00:55:00.83
We're going to have
prayer here in just a moment.
00:55:00.86\00:55:02.26
Our time has run out.
00:55:02.30\00:55:03.63
Thank you for joining us today.
00:55:03.67\00:55:05.83
Hello and welcome back.
00:55:05.87\00:55:07.47
It is our sincere prayer
00:55:07.50\00:55:09.27
that during this
message you've heard
00:55:09.30\00:55:11.21
or felt the Holy
Spirit tugging at your heart.
00:55:11.24\00:55:14.91
Daniel's Prophecies Unsealed
00:55:14.94\00:55:17.58
was the title
of today's message.
00:55:17.61\00:55:19.51
And by now, I'm
sure that you realize
00:55:19.55\00:55:22.15
how we must be diligent students
00:55:22.18\00:55:24.32
of the Word of God in
order to not be deceived
00:55:24.35\00:55:28.16
by the enemy of souls.
00:55:28.19\00:55:29.79
Our faith must be based
upon the truth of God's Word,
00:55:29.82\00:55:33.53
and not mere fables of men.
00:55:33.56\00:55:36.20
The enemy desires your soul.
00:55:36.23\00:55:40.04
You must make a decided
effort to daily place your mind,
00:55:40.07\00:55:44.27
your heart, your soul,
00:55:44.31\00:55:45.81
in the palm of
the Savior's hand,
00:55:45.84\00:55:48.21
so that He may stand with you
and fight your battles for you.
00:55:48.24\00:55:53.98
There is true
victory in Jesus, praise God.
00:55:54.02\00:55:57.02
And knowing His Word
00:55:57.05\00:55:58.39
and hiding His
truths in your heart
00:55:58.42\00:56:01.12
is how He will enable you
to win this battle with evil.
00:56:01.16\00:56:05.06
Daniel's Prophecies Unsealed
00:56:05.09\00:56:07.26

I'm sure you guys realize,
00:56:39.59\00:56:41.43
we all realize that
prices are going up everywhere.
00:56:41.46\00:56:45.53
We haven't raised
these in all the years
00:56:45.57\00:56:47.64
we've been offering them,
00:56:47.67\00:56:49.00
