Hello and welcome once again
to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:38.97\00:00:41.57
I'm Chris Shelton, your host.
00:00:41.60\00:00:43.00
I want to thank
you for tuning in.
00:00:43.04\00:00:45.71
Today's message is
entitled Solemn Events:
00:00:45.74\00:00:48.81
Blow the Trumpet in Zion.
00:00:48.84\00:00:50.78
Soon after the end of
00:00:50.81\00:00:52.15
what we referred to in
history as the Dark Ages,
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.98
there began a
religious awakening throughout
00:00:55.02\00:00:57.45
Europe and America.
00:00:57.49\00:00:58.99
The Lord told us that
00:00:59.02\00:01:00.36
there would be signs in
the sun, moon, and stars,
00:01:00.39\00:01:03.49
along with distress of
nations with perplexity
00:01:03.53\00:01:06.86
and the sea and
the waves warring.
00:01:06.90\00:01:09.36
And that men's hearts
will fail them for fear
00:01:09.40\00:01:12.10
as they see all of
these solemn events
00:01:12.13\00:01:15.40
coming upon the
earth, for the powers
00:01:15.44\00:01:17.84
of heaven shall be shaken.
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.21
You can read more about
00:01:20.24\00:01:21.58
this in the Book
of Luke in Chapter 21.
00:01:21.61\00:01:24.61
These signs were
foretold by our Lord and Savior,
00:01:24.65\00:01:27.92
to show that the
end would then be
00:01:27.95\00:01:29.92
very near even at the door.
00:01:29.95\00:01:32.72
"Blow ye the trumpet in Zion,
00:01:32.75\00:01:34.92
and sound the alarm
in my holy mountain:
00:01:34.96\00:01:37.59
let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble,
00:01:37.63\00:01:40.40
for the day of the Lord
cometh, for it is nigh at hand."
00:01:40.43\00:01:44.93
Look that up in Joel 2:1.
00:01:44.97\00:01:48.27
We must work
together to make a loud noise
00:01:48.30\00:01:51.81
to wake up the sleeping saints.
00:01:51.84\00:01:54.11
The judgment
hour is soon to close,
00:01:54.14\00:01:57.08
whose side will you be found on?
00:01:57.11\00:01:59.91
Join Pastor Kenny
Shelton today as he digs deeper
00:01:59.95\00:02:03.22
in today's message
again entitled Solemn Events:
00:02:03.25\00:02:07.06
Blow the Trumpet
in Zion as together
00:02:07.09\00:02:09.69
we press on toward eternity
00:02:09.72\00:02:12.09
which in fact is the title
of our song for today Press On
00:02:12.13\00:02:16.10
and sung by Pam
Lister from the 3ABN studios.
00:02:16.13\00:02:21.34
When the valley is deep
00:02:34.78\00:02:40.96
When the mountain is steep
00:02:40.99\00:02:47.53
When the body is weary
00:02:47.56\00:02:53.90
When we stumble and fall
00:02:53.94\00:03:00.34
When the choices are hard
00:03:00.38\00:03:06.92
When we're battered and scarred
00:03:06.95\00:03:13.22
When we've spent our resources
00:03:13.25\00:03:19.66
When we've given our all
00:03:19.69\00:03:26.17
In Jesus' name
00:03:26.20\00:03:31.37
We press on
00:03:31.41\00:03:33.34
In Jesus' name
00:03:39.08\00:03:44.09
We press on

00:05:07.94\00:05:10.31

To press on
00:06:06.29\00:06:09.10
Welcome to Behold
the Lamb Ministry.
00:06:16.50\00:06:17.94
We're glad that you
join us once again here,
00:06:17.97\00:06:20.08
as we're going to be studying,
00:06:20.11\00:06:21.44
we think is an exciting subject
00:06:21.48\00:06:23.31
and I believe
that you will, too,
00:06:23.35\00:06:24.78
as we get into the
Word of God today because...
00:06:24.81\00:06:27.98
We're talking about some sign,
00:06:28.02\00:06:29.42
we're talking about some
things that Jesus left for us,
00:06:29.45\00:06:32.32
that we need to be looking at
00:06:32.35\00:06:34.39
closely solemn events,
00:06:34.42\00:06:37.23
and if we believe that
there're solemn events,
00:06:37.26\00:06:39.46
we need to blow
the trumpet in Zion.
00:06:39.49\00:06:42.83
I thought about, I said,
00:06:42.86\00:06:44.20
I need to call somebody
00:06:44.23\00:06:45.70
and say if you've
got a trumpet, bring it.
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.50
And every time I say
blow the trumpet in Zion,
00:06:48.54\00:06:50.97
somebody blow until
you can't blow anymore.
00:06:51.01\00:06:54.51
I really believe
that, you know what?
00:06:54.54\00:06:56.31
Because those who are sleeping,
00:06:56.34\00:06:57.68
awake them up too
or maybe startle them,
00:06:57.71\00:06:59.65
and we need to be startled.
00:06:59.68\00:07:01.58
So anyway, we're glad
that you join us here.
00:07:01.62\00:07:04.05
There'll be many who
will listen to the message
00:07:04.09\00:07:06.15
on the CD and DVDs
00:07:06.19\00:07:08.06
and we're thankful that
we can get into the homes
00:07:08.09\00:07:10.76
and we get this
message around the world.
00:07:10.79\00:07:13.96
Right now, people,
before we have prayer,
00:07:14.00\00:07:16.40
we realize
there's a lot of people
00:07:16.43\00:07:18.03
that are asking questions
about what's happening,
00:07:18.07\00:07:21.57
what time are we
living in, in earth's history.
00:07:21.60\00:07:24.27
Because of the
things that are happening,
00:07:24.31\00:07:26.68
they're asking questions like,
where is this world headed?
00:07:26.71\00:07:30.81
What can we expect next?
00:07:30.85\00:07:33.92
You know, this COVID thing,
00:07:33.95\00:07:36.12
is it going to play a
part in the end times?
00:07:36.15\00:07:39.95
How can I really tell
that we are in the end times?
00:07:39.99\00:07:44.19
These are legitimate
questions that people ask,
00:07:44.23\00:07:46.76
and they're talking about,
00:07:46.80\00:07:48.36
and many are
calling the ministry,
00:07:48.40\00:07:49.73
should we be vaccinated or
should we not be vaccinated?
00:07:49.76\00:07:53.70
And if I get my shot...
00:07:53.74\00:07:55.70
I'm told if I don't get my shot
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.07
in certain places,
00:07:57.11\00:07:58.47
I'm going to lose my job.
00:07:58.51\00:08:00.44
They're
concerned and rightly so.
00:08:00.48\00:08:03.48
And will it come to the point?
00:08:03.51\00:08:06.58
Will it come to the point that
if we don't get our vaccine,
00:08:06.61\00:08:11.55
we would be able to
continue to go into the stores?
00:08:11.59\00:08:14.52
You know, can we get groceries,
00:08:14.56\00:08:15.89
can we go, you know?
00:08:15.92\00:08:17.26
Will there come a time that
00:08:17.29\00:08:18.63
we'll not be able
to buy or sell, say,
00:08:18.66\00:08:20.43
we have the vaccine.
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.43
Now, if you're thinking that
00:08:22.46\00:08:23.80
is the mark of
the beast, it is not.
00:08:23.83\00:08:26.13
But it could be
things that will be used
00:08:26.17\00:08:28.47
here in the last
days of earth's history
00:08:28.50\00:08:30.64
we're going to be challenged.
00:08:30.67\00:08:32.94
Jesus told the disciples,
00:08:32.97\00:08:34.31
He said, there are some things
00:08:34.34\00:08:36.51
I want to tell
you just before I come
00:08:36.54\00:08:38.45
that's going to take place.
00:08:38.48\00:08:41.15
If we pay
attention to these things,
00:08:41.18\00:08:43.59
it will not be long,
and then follow them,
00:08:43.62\00:08:45.99
won't be long
until Jesus will come.
00:08:46.02\00:08:48.39
I'm under the vast impression
00:08:48.42\00:08:51.46
that the Lord could
have come air this time,
00:08:51.49\00:08:55.20
but somehow we've
fallen little short.
00:08:55.23\00:08:59.43
And where we have
we need to go back
00:08:59.47\00:09:01.10
and cover that
ground again to say,
00:09:01.14\00:09:02.87
"Come, Lord Jesus."
00:09:02.90\00:09:04.67
Solemn Events: Blow
the Trumpet in Zion.
00:09:04.71\00:09:09.51
Remember, we are
offering a free book
00:09:09.54\00:09:13.31
called The Mark of the Beast.
00:09:13.35\00:09:15.82
If you don't know what it is,
00:09:15.85\00:09:17.79
and the majority of the world,
00:09:17.82\00:09:19.62
be careful now,
does not know what it is.
00:09:19.65\00:09:23.12
They do not know
what it is, they're true.
00:09:23.16\00:09:24.79
Everything that's
going on in the world
00:09:24.83\00:09:27.03
except the biblical
insight to Scripture
00:09:27.06\00:09:32.40
because it has to do
with who you worship.
00:09:32.43\00:09:36.20
Remember, who you worship.
00:09:36.24\00:09:37.77
And so you need this book.
00:09:37.81\00:09:39.14
It'll answer all kinds of dozens
00:09:39.17\00:09:40.51
and hundreds of questions,
00:09:40.54\00:09:42.04
and if it helped to
00:09:42.08\00:09:43.98
get on my knees
and beg, I would.
00:09:44.01\00:09:46.11
This is a free book,
00:09:46.15\00:09:47.48
you just need
to call and get it.
00:09:47.52\00:09:48.88
This may be
life eternal for you.
00:09:48.92\00:09:50.52
So I pray that you will do that
even right now because again,
00:09:50.55\00:09:53.86
it's answered many
questions for me in my life,
00:09:53.89\00:09:55.99
and I'm sure it's
going to answer many for you,
00:09:56.02\00:09:58.26
Solemn Events: Blow
the Trumpet in Zion.
00:09:58.29\00:10:00.86
Let's pray together.
00:10:00.90\00:10:02.23
I'm going to kneel up here,
00:10:02.26\00:10:03.60
kneel where you can if you will.
00:10:03.63\00:10:04.97
Loving Father in heaven,
00:10:05.00\00:10:07.34
as we come to You, we ask,
00:10:07.37\00:10:09.54
first of all, for
forgiveness of sin,
00:10:09.57\00:10:11.07
anything in our hearts and life
that need not be there at all.
00:10:11.11\00:10:13.31
Lord, we need the power
of Thy Holy Spirit right now.
00:10:13.34\00:10:17.18
Lord, come into in
our midst right now,
00:10:17.21\00:10:20.78
sweep out as it were,
sweep away those things
00:10:20.82\00:10:24.19
that need not be there,
00:10:24.22\00:10:25.55
but we need have our
full attention upon you today.
00:10:25.59\00:10:29.26
These are signs and we pray that
00:10:29.29\00:10:32.43
we will heed those signs
and that we will be ready
00:10:32.46\00:10:35.66
when you shall
come and be prepared
00:10:35.70\00:10:37.93
to be able to do the work that
00:10:37.97\00:10:39.30
You've
commissioned all of us to do.
00:10:39.33\00:10:41.04
Bless us, we pray to this
00:10:41.07\00:10:42.40
and may the
Spirit of the Living God
00:10:42.44\00:10:44.37
now just illuminate
these beautiful things
00:10:44.41\00:10:48.11
in our hearts and
our minds in our life,
00:10:48.14\00:10:49.74
that not only will we hear them,
00:10:49.78\00:10:51.28
but we're willing
to obey in Jesus' name.
00:10:51.31\00:10:53.42
Amen.
00:10:53.45\00:10:55.92
Our scripture reading
00:10:55.95\00:10:57.29
as we look in the
Word of God quickly today,
00:10:57.32\00:11:00.32
we'll go over
because of our time,
00:11:00.36\00:11:01.69
it goes so quickly
when you get up here.
00:11:01.72\00:11:03.76
Now, when you're sitting,
00:11:03.79\00:11:05.13
some time it doesn't go
quite so fast but for me,
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.40
I think sometimes
it's like 10 minutes
00:11:07.43\00:11:09.13
or so and then I
look and it's all over
00:11:09.16\00:11:11.57
and I haven't covered anything
00:11:11.60\00:11:12.93
that I really wanted
to cover it seems like,
00:11:12.97\00:11:15.20
you know, by the grace of God.
00:11:15.24\00:11:16.57
Joel 2:15-17.
00:11:16.60\00:11:19.97
For the sake of time,
00:11:20.01\00:11:21.34
I want you to take
homework if you want.
00:11:21.38\00:11:23.61
Joel 2:15-17, will
notice what the Bible said.
00:11:23.65\00:11:28.48
It says, blow
the trumpet, where?
00:11:28.52\00:11:30.42
In Zion, notice, sanctify
fast, call a solemn assembly.
00:11:30.45\00:11:34.29
If there ever was a time that
00:11:34.32\00:11:35.66
somebody needs to
blow the trumpet it is now
00:11:35.69\00:11:38.99
but you know,
there are many people
00:11:39.03\00:11:40.36
who made decisions today,
00:11:40.40\00:11:41.73
they didn't feel like
they needed to come to church.
00:11:41.76\00:11:44.50
Now let's just lay
it out on the line.
00:11:44.53\00:11:45.87
Many people today,
well, we not been feeling
00:11:45.90\00:11:47.57
but they go other
places and do other things,
00:11:47.60\00:11:49.50
but somehow they can't
find their way to church.
00:11:49.54\00:11:51.97
Not trying to scold them,
00:11:52.01\00:11:53.34
I'm probably saying,
where's our priorities.
00:11:53.38\00:11:55.74
If we really believe
that Jesus is coming,
00:11:55.78\00:11:57.88
we're not going to forsake
00:11:57.91\00:11:59.25
the assembling of
ourselves together.
00:11:59.28\00:12:00.65
That's going to
be our first priority
00:12:00.68\00:12:02.88
that we study the
Word of God together
00:12:02.92\00:12:04.29
and you know,
00:12:04.32\00:12:05.65
gather up this
relationship with Christ
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.56
that we so desperately need
00:12:07.59\00:12:09.79
because it says we
need to gather the people.
00:12:09.82\00:12:13.70
Gather them, think about it,
00:12:13.73\00:12:15.06
gather them,
sanctify the congregation,
00:12:15.10\00:12:17.63
just call the elders
and call the children,
00:12:17.67\00:12:19.63
it means
everybody together and say,
00:12:19.67\00:12:22.10
this is a solemn
time and we need to be
00:12:22.14\00:12:25.17
working toward that right now.
00:12:25.21\00:12:27.78
How long has that
been since you've seen,
00:12:27.81\00:12:29.88
we call it the
ministers or the priests
00:12:29.91\00:12:31.81
as it were the pastors weep
00:12:31.85\00:12:33.25
between the porch and the altar.
00:12:33.28\00:12:35.38
Many times they're too busy
cracking jokes in the pulpit,
00:12:35.42\00:12:39.59
rather than weeping
00:12:39.62\00:12:40.96
between the porch and the altar,
00:12:40.99\00:12:42.32
because of the things
that are happening in the world
00:12:42.36\00:12:44.39
and the things that are
shortly going to happen.
00:12:44.43\00:12:48.40
We're seeing things
happen and take place right now.
00:12:48.43\00:12:51.13
That's scary.
00:12:51.17\00:12:53.00
We need the
Spirit of the Living God
00:12:53.03\00:12:56.00
to come near to
each and every one of us.
00:12:56.04\00:12:58.97
These verses have
been read so many times.
00:12:59.01\00:13:02.41
You have read them
maybe dozens of time,
00:13:02.44\00:13:04.15
maybe a lot more than that,
00:13:04.18\00:13:06.95
but they're being ignored today
00:13:06.98\00:13:08.88
and we need not
ignore these warnings.
00:13:08.92\00:13:12.89
Jesus is speaking to you,
00:13:12.92\00:13:14.46
Jesus is speaking to me
because there in the last days,
00:13:14.49\00:13:19.06
which we realize that
we're in the days of unrest.
00:13:19.09\00:13:24.30
I mean, talk about unrest,
00:13:24.33\00:13:26.00
people are just almost
like running to and fro.
00:13:26.03\00:13:28.80
They're nervous about
things with all the disbelief
00:13:28.84\00:13:32.47
that's going on
in that scripture
00:13:32.51\00:13:34.41
and the
uncertainty of the things
00:13:34.44\00:13:37.25
that are happening.
00:13:37.28\00:13:38.61
And may I say the
insanity of the world,
00:13:38.65\00:13:41.82
it so the world
has lost its mind.
00:13:41.85\00:13:45.09
Really what's happening
00:13:45.12\00:13:46.45
in the world today, in the case,
00:13:46.49\00:13:47.82
the enemy is taking over minds.
00:13:47.86\00:13:50.79
Think about what's taking place,
00:13:50.83\00:13:52.16
think about all the
shootings of drive-bys
00:13:52.19\00:13:53.53
and killing of kids
00:13:53.56\00:13:54.90
and everything that's
going on in Afghanistan.
00:13:54.93\00:13:56.26
Everything that's going on
00:13:56.30\00:13:57.63
right now tells me that
the enemy is alive and well,
00:13:57.67\00:14:01.37
and somebody needs to
blow the trumpet in Zion.
00:14:01.40\00:14:04.61
If you study the Book of Joel,
you know what a prophetic book,
00:14:04.64\00:14:07.88
what a book we
need to be studying
00:14:07.91\00:14:09.64
and reading today.
00:14:09.68\00:14:11.41
We can see the message,
00:14:11.45\00:14:12.81
how it fit so
perfectly in his day
00:14:12.85\00:14:15.55
and as I look at that,
fitting perfectly in his day,
00:14:15.58\00:14:18.42
I can also see
00:14:18.45\00:14:19.79
how it fits
perfectly in our day.
00:14:19.82\00:14:22.02
So I'm not trying to give
you something that doesn't fit.
00:14:22.06\00:14:24.29
This fits exactly in the
day that we are living in,
00:14:24.33\00:14:28.10
but you know what?
00:14:28.13\00:14:29.46
Not too many preachers
are preaching about it.
00:14:29.50\00:14:31.17
Not too many pulpits are busy
00:14:31.20\00:14:32.70
with this kind of message today.
00:14:32.73\00:14:35.00
They want the
people to go out say,
00:14:35.04\00:14:36.37
boy, I feel good.
00:14:36.40\00:14:38.07
Well, I'd like for you to go out
00:14:38.11\00:14:39.44
and feeling good
that God's in charge,
00:14:39.47\00:14:41.04
but I want
conviction to come upon you
00:14:41.08\00:14:42.58
and upon me that
00:14:42.61\00:14:43.95
there's victories we
need to gain in our life
00:14:43.98\00:14:46.18
if heaven is
going to be our home.
00:14:46.21\00:14:48.78
It's okay because we
serve a victorious God, right?
00:14:48.82\00:14:51.42
We serve one
who's on the throne,
00:14:51.45\00:14:52.95
praise God for that.
00:14:52.99\00:14:54.66
But as we study
the Book of Joel,
00:14:54.69\00:14:56.02
let me just maybe go over
just the whole Book of Joel
00:14:56.06\00:14:59.26
but just do it in
just a few lines here.
00:14:59.29\00:15:03.10
Joel talks about and
then you look and you say,
00:15:03.13\00:15:05.13
"Is this happening in the
world that we're living in?"
00:15:05.17\00:15:07.67
Joel talked about the judgments
that were falling in his day,
00:15:07.70\00:15:10.71
judgments of God.
00:15:10.74\00:15:12.07
He said, "They're
falling in the land."
00:15:12.11\00:15:13.44
Are the judgments of God
falling in the land today?
00:15:13.48\00:15:15.31
You better believe it.
00:15:15.34\00:15:16.68
See, if we
don't understand this,
00:15:16.71\00:15:18.05
or we've never heard,
it's time that we did.
00:15:18.08\00:15:21.32
These things that's
going on in the world,
00:15:21.35\00:15:23.32
God's trying to get what?
00:15:23.35\00:15:25.42
Your attention, my attention.
00:15:25.45\00:15:28.42
God is merciful and
kind to continue to keep,
00:15:28.46\00:15:31.06
you know, reminding
us of His soon coming.
00:15:31.09\00:15:34.40
The Book of Joel
calls for sinners to repent.
00:15:34.43\00:15:38.40
Do we need that
today? Absolutely.
00:15:38.43\00:15:41.34
It talks about the
coming of Jesus Christ.
00:15:41.37\00:15:43.94
Should we be talking about that?
00:15:43.97\00:15:45.31
Our blessed hope
00:15:45.34\00:15:46.88
is the coming of
Jesus, is it not?
00:15:46.91\00:15:49.21
You know, if it
isn't, it needs to be.
00:15:49.24\00:15:52.48
It needs to be
because He is coming,
00:15:52.51\00:15:54.22
whether you're ready or not.
00:15:54.25\00:15:56.75
And how wonderful
to be able to say,
00:15:56.79\00:15:58.72
you know, by the grace of
God, I'm going to be ready.
00:15:58.75\00:16:02.79
The spirit is being withdrawn.
00:16:02.82\00:16:04.63
Joel talks about
spirit's being withdrawn.
00:16:04.66\00:16:06.90
We look at today,
the Spirit of God's
00:16:06.93\00:16:08.50
being withdrawn from the earth.
00:16:08.53\00:16:09.86
That's why all this, the messes
are taking place in the world.
00:16:09.90\00:16:14.30
The effects are
falling upon man,
00:16:14.34\00:16:16.24
and they're falling upon nature,
00:16:16.27\00:16:17.97
they're falling upon the beast.
00:16:18.01\00:16:20.18
That's effects of sin.
00:16:20.21\00:16:23.48
The Book of Joel
calls for reform.
00:16:23.51\00:16:26.95
And this church,
like all other churches
00:16:26.98\00:16:29.05
need a reform in my opinion.
00:16:29.08\00:16:31.89
There's nothing
wrong with a reformation,
00:16:31.92\00:16:33.62
there's nothing
wrong with reform,
00:16:33.66\00:16:35.49
we need it to be
formed more into the what?
00:16:35.52\00:16:38.13
Image of Jesus
Christ, to be more like Him.
00:16:38.16\00:16:41.16
Listen, the reason I believe
that Christ hasn't come already
00:16:41.20\00:16:43.97
is because He's
looking for people
00:16:44.00\00:16:45.77
that their character is
00:16:45.80\00:16:47.44
perfectly fully
reproduced in Him, right?
00:16:47.47\00:16:50.41
Reproduced in us,
He will come again.
00:16:50.44\00:16:53.48
He's looking for
people that are ready.
00:16:53.51\00:16:55.74
Evidently, we're
not quite ready yet.
00:16:55.78\00:16:59.21
It makes sense
00:16:59.25\00:17:00.58
or He would already
have come, is that right?
00:17:00.62\00:17:02.35
When His character is what?
00:17:02.38\00:17:04.35
Fully perfect and
reproduced, then He will come.
00:17:04.39\00:17:09.42
And so there are
some changes or things
00:17:09.46\00:17:11.19
that maybe need to take place.
00:17:11.23\00:17:12.56
And so Joel talks
about this reformation,
00:17:12.59\00:17:15.26
it talks about reform.
00:17:15.30\00:17:16.77
They're talking
about seasons of prayer,
00:17:16.80\00:17:18.93
talking about
time of repentance.
00:17:18.97\00:17:21.34
And then I like it
because he really goes
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.07
into this thing
00:17:23.10\00:17:24.44
called the promise
of the Holy Spirit.
00:17:24.47\00:17:26.51
See, these are things
we can relate to today.
00:17:26.54\00:17:28.64
And he mentions, I love it.
00:17:28.68\00:17:30.31
He mentions the early
rain and the latter rain.
00:17:30.35\00:17:33.28
How desperately we
need that early rain,
00:17:33.31\00:17:35.82
how desperately we
need that latter rain,
00:17:35.85\00:17:38.42
the importance of it.
00:17:38.45\00:17:40.36
And you realize today,
you talked to a lot of people,
00:17:40.39\00:17:42.22
they never really
heard of the early rain
00:17:42.26\00:17:43.86
or the latter rain?
00:17:43.89\00:17:45.76
How desperately we need
that power of the Holy Spirit.
00:17:45.79\00:17:49.86
Let's put it in
a nutshell quickly,
00:17:49.90\00:17:51.83
even though we're
talking about Solemn Events:
00:17:51.87\00:17:54.07
Blow the Trumpet in Zion.
00:17:54.10\00:17:55.50
This is a solemn event,
00:17:55.54\00:17:57.01
the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit,
00:17:57.04\00:17:58.37
of the latter
rain experience that
00:17:58.41\00:17:59.74
we so desperately need.
00:17:59.77\00:18:02.41
The early rain,
00:18:02.44\00:18:03.78
just getting in a nutshell here,
00:18:03.81\00:18:05.88
when applying it to
the Christian Church.
00:18:05.91\00:18:08.35
You say, "Well,
we won't apply it
00:18:08.38\00:18:09.72
to the Christian Church."
00:18:09.75\00:18:11.22
The early rain then represents
00:18:11.25\00:18:12.65
the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit
00:18:12.69\00:18:14.26
on the day of what?
00:18:14.29\00:18:15.62
Of Pentecost. Do you remember?
00:18:15.66\00:18:17.89
I still get goose bumps
00:18:17.93\00:18:19.26
when I read the Book of Acts,
00:18:19.29\00:18:21.10
of things that so
happened in the church,
00:18:21.13\00:18:23.63
and the people
were so on fire for God.
00:18:23.67\00:18:28.17
Changes were taking place.
00:18:28.20\00:18:30.61
There was no like sleeping,
00:18:30.64\00:18:31.97
and oh, we got all kind of time.
00:18:32.01\00:18:35.04
There was an urgency
about it like there is today.
00:18:35.08\00:18:39.18
And we realize
this work will end
00:18:39.21\00:18:41.98
with a greater
outpouring of the Spirit.
00:18:42.02\00:18:44.22
So what we see and
we loved right was,
00:18:44.25\00:18:46.39
read Acts Chapter 2,
00:18:46.42\00:18:47.99
oh, everything is going
on the whole Book of Acts.
00:18:48.02\00:18:50.63
We can realize that God says
00:18:50.66\00:18:51.99
it's going to be greater
and we can be a part of that.
00:18:52.03\00:18:54.53
How wonderful.
00:18:54.56\00:18:56.06
And then the latter
rain comes to do what?
00:18:56.10\00:18:58.37
It's to ripen, I like that.
00:18:58.40\00:19:00.67
It ripens the
people of God for heaven.
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.64
Early rain was simply
00:19:03.67\00:19:05.01
just accepting
Jesus as Lord and Savior,
00:19:05.04\00:19:06.37
giving our life to Him.
00:19:06.41\00:19:07.74
Isn't that right?
00:19:07.78\00:19:09.11
And living the
life of sanctification.
00:19:09.14\00:19:10.48
God said, "I'm gonna
send the latter rain,
00:19:10.51\00:19:12.75
I'm going to equip the people
00:19:12.78\00:19:14.12
because there's so much ahead."
00:19:14.15\00:19:15.88
Unless the Holy Spirit's
really living in the heart
00:19:15.92\00:19:18.02
and them mind
they're not going to make it.
00:19:18.05\00:19:20.09
It ripens the
grain, you know that
00:19:20.12\00:19:21.96
we may be ready,
you know, and completed.
00:19:21.99\00:19:25.03
This is the work of grace
00:19:25.06\00:19:26.73
in the heart in the lives of us.
00:19:26.76\00:19:29.10
I'm thankful for
grace, aren't you?
00:19:29.13\00:19:31.33
I'm thankful for
the grace of God.
00:19:31.37\00:19:32.70
The reason we're here today
00:19:32.73\00:19:34.07
is because of the
grace of Jesus Christ.
00:19:34.10\00:19:37.61
Remember, it's essential
that we receive the what?
00:19:37.64\00:19:40.94
The early rain, right,
in order to receive what?
00:19:40.98\00:19:45.31
Did the latter rain.
00:19:45.35\00:19:46.68
Now remember the latter rain
00:19:46.72\00:19:48.05
will only be received by those
00:19:48.08\00:19:49.42
who have gained
victory over every besetment.
00:19:49.45\00:19:53.39
That's why in our
church, we have messages
00:19:53.42\00:19:55.42
and the Bible
presents victory over sin.
00:19:55.46\00:19:58.63
Instead to go do
the best you can,
00:19:58.66\00:20:00.16
and it'll be all right that
00:20:00.20\00:20:01.80
the Bible never talks like that.
00:20:01.83\00:20:05.60
We serve a God who's big enough
00:20:05.63\00:20:07.37
to give us that victory.
00:20:07.40\00:20:08.90
Holy Spirit will
lead us into all truth,
00:20:08.94\00:20:11.81
will empower us, you see,
00:20:11.84\00:20:14.81
that changes can
take place in our life.
00:20:14.84\00:20:17.31
Hebrews 12:1, it talks about
00:20:17.35\00:20:19.81
those sins which
does so easily beset us.
00:20:19.85\00:20:23.69
I wanna come to
a point in my life
00:20:23.72\00:20:25.05
where sin doesn't
so easily beset me.
00:20:25.09\00:20:27.32
Come on, church, do you
see what I'm talking about?
00:20:27.36\00:20:29.72
And sometimes
it's so easily, right?
00:20:29.76\00:20:31.59
Mama bought burnt the
toast and so the day is ruined.
00:20:31.63\00:20:36.30
You follow me.
00:20:36.33\00:20:37.67
Can be these little
simple things sometimes,
00:20:37.70\00:20:39.73
but it just ruins the whole day
00:20:39.77\00:20:41.10
and the kids are all
upset and they go school up,
00:20:41.14\00:20:43.04
you know what I'm talking about.
00:20:43.07\00:20:44.47
But everything that
besets us, victory over sin.
00:20:44.51\00:20:47.64
So latter rain
then simply gives power.
00:20:47.68\00:20:49.54
We're not gonna
spend much time power
00:20:49.58\00:20:51.28
to proclaim the
third angel's message.
00:20:51.31\00:20:54.48
Isn't it sad
nowadays that many people
00:20:54.52\00:20:56.58
have never heard the first,
00:20:56.62\00:20:57.95
second third angels' message,
00:20:57.99\00:20:59.32
the three angels'
message of Revelation 14.
00:20:59.35\00:21:03.39
Remember, that's
the last warning message
00:21:03.43\00:21:05.69
that goes to this
world before Jesus comes.
00:21:05.73\00:21:08.56
It's a warning against
00:21:08.60\00:21:09.93
receiving the mark
of the beast, isn't it?
00:21:09.96\00:21:12.23
It's a warning to
go back to the one
00:21:12.27\00:21:13.60
who made heaven,
earth, and the sea
00:21:13.64\00:21:14.97
and all that in the midst.
00:21:15.00\00:21:16.54
And if you do that, you
will go back to creation,
00:21:16.57\00:21:18.87
you will go back to the Sabbath,
00:21:18.91\00:21:20.24
you know that.
00:21:20.28\00:21:21.61
The judgment hour
to really realize that
00:21:21.64\00:21:23.88
you're living in
the judgment hour,
00:21:23.91\00:21:25.51
and you have for
many, many years now,
00:21:25.55\00:21:27.65
and one of these days,
God's gonna say that's it.
00:21:27.68\00:21:30.59
That's all she wrote.
00:21:30.62\00:21:32.32
No one will ever
come to him again.
00:21:32.35\00:21:34.32
That's proven in Scripture.
00:21:34.36\00:21:35.69
How about the time of the flood?
00:21:35.72\00:21:37.06
There came a time that the door
was shut, nobody else came in.
00:21:37.09\00:21:41.06
And that time is right
now, we need to be so careful.
00:21:41.10\00:21:46.17
And we need that
latter rain experience
00:21:46.20\00:21:47.80
to be praying for it
because it gives us power.
00:21:47.84\00:21:50.94
And it gives power to the
ones that God is calling out.
00:21:50.97\00:21:54.71
God has the
people in every church,
00:21:54.74\00:21:57.45
every
denomination, God has those
00:21:57.48\00:21:59.51
who are living up to
the light that they know.
00:21:59.55\00:22:02.75
And He said I'm
calling them what?
00:22:02.78\00:22:04.49
Second angel's message
to come out of Babylon,
00:22:04.52\00:22:07.36
come out of her, My people,
00:22:07.39\00:22:08.72
and be not
partakers of her sins.
00:22:08.76\00:22:12.03
And so the Lord
is going to equip
00:22:12.06\00:22:13.63
these individuals
who are coming out,
00:22:13.66\00:22:15.86
the honest hearts
who accept the truth,
00:22:15.90\00:22:18.23
so they may continue on.
00:22:18.27\00:22:22.00
The latter rain experience
00:22:22.04\00:22:23.44
is going to equip
the saints to stand
00:22:23.47\00:22:26.78
when the seven last
plagues are poured out.
00:22:26.81\00:22:29.88
A lot of people say,
"We don't worry about that."
00:22:29.91\00:22:31.25
The biggest lie.
00:22:31.28\00:22:32.61
The devil is a liar today.
00:22:32.65\00:22:35.08
Do you believe it?
00:22:35.12\00:22:36.58
He's a liar and
the truths not in him.
00:22:36.62\00:22:38.55
That give a counterfeit to say,
00:22:38.59\00:22:39.92
well, when things get
tough we won't be here.
00:22:39.95\00:22:41.86
That is a lie from the devil.
00:22:41.89\00:22:44.59
All you have to do
is go to the Word of God
00:22:44.63\00:22:45.96
and find out when everytime
00:22:45.99\00:22:47.43
something difficult happened
to His people, you know,
00:22:47.46\00:22:50.57
just took them
out of the way just,
00:22:50.60\00:22:52.50
they didn't have
to go through it.
00:22:52.53\00:22:53.87
No, that every time
they had to go through it
00:22:53.90\00:22:55.74
but He said, "I'll
be there with you."
00:22:55.77\00:22:57.84
Oh, how wonderful,
a lot of illustration
00:22:57.87\00:22:59.41
we can go into,
we had time today.
00:22:59.44\00:23:01.94
That means the time is coming
00:23:01.98\00:23:03.31
when we must live in
the sight of a holy God
00:23:03.35\00:23:05.21
without a mediator, it
means probation will close.
00:23:05.25\00:23:10.35
What if it closed today?
00:23:10.39\00:23:12.85
How do you stand with God?
00:23:12.89\00:23:14.22
How do I stand?
00:23:14.26\00:23:16.52
Joel brings out some things here
00:23:16.56\00:23:18.49
that we must look at
as time that we have.
00:23:18.53\00:23:22.40
He brings out, I like
it, some physical signs,
00:23:22.43\00:23:25.93
some physical signs that we can,
00:23:25.97\00:23:27.94
you know be looking at today
00:23:27.97\00:23:29.70
that accompanies
the day of the Lord.
00:23:29.74\00:23:32.97
I like it when it
says the day of the Lord.
00:23:33.01\00:23:36.78
Joel's not the only book,
so I find some truth here.
00:23:36.81\00:23:39.81
You may say, well,
only Joel's talking about.
00:23:39.85\00:23:41.45
No, Joel talks about
it, Amos talks about it,
00:23:41.48\00:23:44.22
Ezekiel talks about
the day of the Lord,
00:23:44.25\00:23:46.45
Zephaniah talks
about the day of the Lord,
00:23:46.49\00:23:48.52
Zachariah talks
about the day of the Lord,
00:23:48.56\00:23:50.99
Jeremiah talks
about the day of the Lord,
00:23:51.03\00:23:52.96
Isaiah talks about the
day of the Lord, right?
00:23:52.99\00:23:55.86
Peter talks about,
right, the day of the Lord.
00:23:55.90\00:23:58.43
Man, I'm talking about,
00:23:58.47\00:23:59.80
that's just the beginning of it.
00:23:59.83\00:24:01.97
How wonderful that is.
00:24:02.00\00:24:03.97
There's some consistency
here and the Word of God saying
00:24:04.01\00:24:07.38
we need to be aware
00:24:07.41\00:24:08.74
and careful about
the day of the Lord.
00:24:08.78\00:24:10.75
It's coming. It's coming.
00:24:10.78\00:24:14.58
Listen, all of this stuff
you say is kind of bad news.
00:24:14.62\00:24:16.89
I'm gonna bring you good news.
00:24:16.92\00:24:18.82
There's bad things out there,
00:24:18.85\00:24:20.19
but there's a bright
future for God's people.
00:24:20.22\00:24:22.72
There's a bright future
00:24:22.76\00:24:24.19
for the people of
God that are ahead.
00:24:24.23\00:24:26.13
Now how do I know this?
00:24:26.16\00:24:27.50
Because I read something
in Joel 2:28, there's just,
00:24:27.53\00:24:31.57
there was one word there
00:24:31.60\00:24:32.93
and I got excited
about that one word.
00:24:32.97\00:24:36.77
I don't need two
or three chapters.
00:24:36.81\00:24:39.21
I don't need 100 words.
00:24:39.24\00:24:40.58
You know what I'm talking about.
00:24:40.61\00:24:41.94
One word kind of got me excited
00:24:41.98\00:24:43.31
because I looked
into it and the word was
00:24:43.35\00:24:46.11
Joel 2:28 said afterward,
00:24:46.15\00:24:51.05
afterwards,
00:24:51.09\00:24:54.06
that means all this
stuff's gonna be taken away.
00:24:54.09\00:24:55.42
We're going to be going through
00:24:55.46\00:24:56.79
some things but
he said afterwards
00:24:56.83\00:24:59.16
and you look at that word,
it just is talking about it.
00:24:59.19\00:25:01.73
It's an indefinite time period
but afterward only God knows.
00:25:01.76\00:25:07.64
You remember, God's plan
was always to bless Israel,
00:25:07.67\00:25:12.14
isn't that right?
00:25:12.17\00:25:13.51
And He made so
many promises to them.
00:25:13.54\00:25:15.44
They made a covenant together,
00:25:15.48\00:25:16.81
God said, "I'm
going to bless you,
00:25:16.85\00:25:18.18
I'm gonna cause you to ride
00:25:18.21\00:25:19.55
on the high
places of the earth."
00:25:19.58\00:25:20.92
You know, isn't that wonderful?
00:25:20.95\00:25:22.28
Today, He says
that as His people,
00:25:22.32\00:25:24.09
and you want to ride
on low places, forget it.
00:25:24.12\00:25:28.39
You know, we talk
about the head and the tail.
00:25:28.42\00:25:31.43
God never intended
you to be the tail.
00:25:31.46\00:25:33.93
He said to be the
head, are we still with it?
00:25:33.96\00:25:36.60
Because you ride
on the high places
00:25:36.63\00:25:37.97
what He says,
00:25:38.00\00:25:39.33
and you can do that if
you choose the blessings,
00:25:39.37\00:25:42.44
but then there's so people
00:25:42.47\00:25:43.81
who still can't
quite get it the head.
00:25:43.84\00:25:45.71
I encourage you to
study on these issues
00:25:45.74\00:25:48.28
because you look at the promises
00:25:48.31\00:25:49.94
that God made to
Israel in the Old Testament,
00:25:49.98\00:25:52.51
they failed miserably.
00:25:52.55\00:25:53.92
They did not keep
the covenant with God,
00:25:53.95\00:25:55.95
and God could not
keep the promises.
00:25:55.98\00:25:57.82
You see, they broke
00:25:57.85\00:25:59.19
the covenant
promises, didn't they?
00:25:59.22\00:26:00.56
So now the promises that
He made to ancient Israel,
00:26:00.59\00:26:03.39
He makes to the New
Testament Church now.
00:26:03.43\00:26:06.49
Are you part of the
New Testament Church?
00:26:06.53\00:26:07.86
You should be.
00:26:07.90\00:26:09.93
Think of all
those beautiful promises
00:26:09.96\00:26:11.30
He's talking about?
00:26:11.33\00:26:12.67
Remember, they've
been transferred over
00:26:12.70\00:26:14.30
from the ancient
Israel of Old Testament
00:26:14.34\00:26:16.54
into the New Testament Church.
00:26:16.57\00:26:19.31
Man, it's a bright future
00:26:19.34\00:26:20.88
there if we just follow
God and do the right thing.
00:26:20.91\00:26:24.41
Acts Chapter 2, we'll read
that in just a moment here.
00:26:24.45\00:26:28.58
I mean, it's just,
Peter was talking here
00:26:28.62\00:26:32.99
and he's talking
about Joel's prophecy.
00:26:33.02\00:26:35.36
So somebody said, well,
you're in the Old Testament now.
00:26:35.39\00:26:37.53
You know, some of us
need to get with the program.
00:26:37.56\00:26:41.33
We need to get with the program,
00:26:41.36\00:26:42.70
because they'll say, oh,
that's Old Testament stuff.
00:26:42.73\00:26:46.63
My Bible said all scripture
is given by inspiration of God.
00:26:46.67\00:26:51.21
Well, you know, who
took God off the throne,
00:26:51.24\00:26:53.48
and you're gonna
sit in the place of God.
00:26:53.51\00:26:55.38
Now, I want to
challenge you with that.
00:26:55.41\00:26:56.88
You see that's what happens.
00:26:56.91\00:26:58.25
We say, well,
that's Old Testament.
00:26:58.28\00:26:59.91
Well, all scripture is
given by inspiration of God.
00:26:59.95\00:27:02.15
What I do, tear this out
00:27:02.18\00:27:03.52
because I don't like it
and leave this and do that.
00:27:03.55\00:27:05.59
You see, we can't do
that, so all scripture is good.
00:27:05.62\00:27:08.82
So Joel talks
about signs of the times,
00:27:08.86\00:27:11.89
things, solemn events
that's going to take place,
00:27:11.93\00:27:14.86
things that have
already taken place,
00:27:14.90\00:27:16.26
historically that tell us that
00:27:16.30\00:27:19.70
Jesus is soon to come
if you've ever doubt it,
00:27:19.73\00:27:21.80
you won't the time we in today.
00:27:21.84\00:27:27.74
Acts 2:16-21, I said,
we read just a moment.
00:27:27.78\00:27:32.41
Remember, Acts Chapter 2
00:27:32.45\00:27:33.78
was a partial fulfillment
00:27:33.82\00:27:37.05
of the day of Pentecost.
00:27:37.09\00:27:40.72
And instead of
using the word afterward,
00:27:40.76\00:27:43.32
like Joel did, Peter
uses the phrase in Acts 2:17.
00:27:43.36\00:27:48.03
Here's what he says.
00:27:48.06\00:27:49.40
Instead of afterwards,
he says, in the last days.
00:27:49.43\00:27:52.73
In the what?
00:27:52.77\00:27:54.10
In the last days.
00:27:54.14\00:27:56.24
We have to believe
as children of God,
00:27:56.27\00:27:59.97
that we're in the last days.
00:28:00.01\00:28:01.74
All that can be proven
so easily for scripture.
00:28:01.78\00:28:04.05
You know many
churches in the world
00:28:04.08\00:28:05.41
have billions of people
00:28:05.45\00:28:06.78
that never heard of 1798,
00:28:06.82\00:28:08.95
we believe, you know,
00:28:08.98\00:28:10.32
at the end of 1260 years, right?
00:28:10.35\00:28:14.92
Of the Dark Age,
we'll talk a little more
00:28:14.96\00:28:16.29
about a little bit later on,
00:28:16.32\00:28:17.66
that began the last
days of earth's history.
00:28:17.69\00:28:21.50
And then there
are so many things
00:28:21.53\00:28:22.86
that pointed up to that.
00:28:22.90\00:28:26.17
It's going to
reach its fulfillment,
00:28:26.20\00:28:29.30
we realize here
00:28:29.34\00:28:30.67
in the closing
work of the gospel
00:28:30.71\00:28:32.51
as the Holy Spirit is pouring.
00:28:32.54\00:28:34.04
I just need to
read Acts Chapter...
00:28:34.08\00:28:35.54
I'm just going to
get excited about it.
00:28:35.58\00:28:37.08
Acts Chapter 2,
because you'll say,
00:28:37.11\00:28:39.31
well, you're
reading Old Testament,
00:28:39.35\00:28:40.95
or I'll just read New Testament
00:28:40.98\00:28:42.32
there if you want
it, you want to see,
00:28:42.35\00:28:43.69
and see how closely it resembles
00:28:43.72\00:28:45.72
what we kind of
read a while ago.
00:28:45.75\00:28:47.19
Acts 2:16-21 if
you allow me to do,
00:28:47.22\00:28:51.33
I'll do the best I can.
00:28:51.36\00:28:52.69
Acts Chapter 2 what?
00:28:52.73\00:28:54.73
Sixteen now through 21.
00:28:54.76\00:28:56.36
Notice what it says,
00:28:56.40\00:28:57.97
"But this is
that which was spoken
00:28:58.00\00:29:00.07
by the prophet," who?
00:29:00.10\00:29:01.97
"Joel."
00:29:02.00\00:29:03.34
We just been
reading from Joel, right?
00:29:03.37\00:29:04.71
People question, they say,
well, that's Old Testament.
00:29:04.74\00:29:06.74
Peter's going
back in and he said,
00:29:06.78\00:29:08.11
man, here's what Joel said.
00:29:08.14\00:29:10.58
And you know what you
can bank on what Joel said.
00:29:10.61\00:29:12.95
There's the Holy Spirit
00:29:12.98\00:29:14.32
that impressed
Joel to write it down.
00:29:14.35\00:29:16.15
And now Peter is saying
00:29:16.18\00:29:17.52
that's what the Holy
Spirit's impressed me,
00:29:17.55\00:29:18.99
and I'm going to write
it down the New Testament.
00:29:19.02\00:29:20.86
He said, "It shall come to pass
in the last days, saith God."
00:29:20.89\00:29:23.86
It's going to come pass when?
00:29:23.89\00:29:25.23
Good.
00:29:25.26\00:29:26.59
"In the last days,
00:29:26.63\00:29:27.96
I'm going to pour out
my Spirit upon," what?
00:29:28.00\00:29:29.86
"All flesh."
00:29:29.90\00:29:31.23
He's going to
pour out His Spirit
00:29:31.27\00:29:32.60
on those who want His Spirit.
00:29:32.63\00:29:33.97
Isn't that right?
00:29:34.00\00:29:35.34
He's not going
to force it on you.
00:29:35.37\00:29:36.71
If we're just lazy and
we don't want the spirit,
00:29:36.74\00:29:38.37
you're not going to get it.
00:29:38.41\00:29:39.74
If you're not seeking
for it, you won't get it.
00:29:39.77\00:29:41.44
If you're not praying
for it, you won't get it.
00:29:41.48\00:29:42.98
If you're not studying,
00:29:43.01\00:29:44.35
you're not gonna,
is that clear enough?
00:29:44.38\00:29:46.41
Okay, then I'll move on.
00:29:46.45\00:29:47.78
Notice what it
says, I want to clear.
00:29:47.82\00:29:49.55
It's got to be clear because
whenever you go this place,
00:29:49.58\00:29:51.42
say, well, I'm all confused.
00:29:51.45\00:29:53.32
You wanna be
confused right here.
00:29:53.36\00:29:54.82
I pour my Spirit on the flesh,
your sons and your daughters
00:29:54.86\00:29:57.23
will prophesy, your
young men shall see what?
00:29:57.26\00:29:59.89
Visions and your old men
shall dream dreams, notice,
00:29:59.93\00:30:02.80
and all my servant
and on my handmaidens,
00:30:02.83\00:30:04.97
I'll pour out, what?
00:30:05.00\00:30:06.33
In those days my
Spirit, and they shall what?
00:30:06.37\00:30:08.74
Prophesy.
00:30:08.77\00:30:10.11
Notice this, this
is one of the keys
00:30:10.14\00:30:11.47
we'll be talking
about more as we go.
00:30:11.51\00:30:12.87
And he said, now
I will show wonders
00:30:12.91\00:30:15.71
in the heavens above,
00:30:15.74\00:30:17.38
signs in the earth beneath,
blood, fire, vapor of smoke,
00:30:17.41\00:30:22.98
notice, and the
sun shall be what?
00:30:23.02\00:30:25.89
Turned into darkness
and the moon into blood,
00:30:25.92\00:30:29.02
notice before what?
00:30:29.06\00:30:31.19
The great and
notable day of the Lord.
00:30:31.23\00:30:33.29
What does it say?
00:30:33.33\00:30:34.66
There's going to be some signs
00:30:34.70\00:30:36.03
that people can
see that take note off.
00:30:36.06\00:30:39.63
And we must look at
these things and to see,
00:30:39.67\00:30:41.87
wow, if those
things have happened.
00:30:41.90\00:30:44.97
That tells us how close we
are to the coming of Jesus.
00:30:45.01\00:30:49.41
Peter said
exactly what Joel said,
00:30:49.44\00:30:51.28
there's going to
be signs in the sun,
00:30:51.31\00:30:52.98
and in the moon,
and in the stars.
00:30:53.01\00:30:57.02
To me, that's just exciting
to realize that God loves us
00:30:57.05\00:30:59.65
so much that
He's pinpointing it.
00:30:59.69\00:31:01.92
He's putting it here
so we can clearly see
00:31:01.96\00:31:04.13
and put a little time frame
00:31:04.16\00:31:05.63
with it too if
you'd like to do that.
00:31:05.66\00:31:08.10
So the warning comes to
us, blow the trumpet in Zion.
00:31:08.13\00:31:13.80
Joel 2:1 says
that means is signal,
00:31:13.84\00:31:18.27
somebody signal that the
day of the Lord is at hand.
00:31:18.31\00:31:22.38
Who's going to give a signal?
00:31:22.41\00:31:23.75
You know what signal could be,
00:31:23.78\00:31:25.11
you don't have to get
up and preach a sermon.
00:31:25.15\00:31:26.48
You don't have to run
around the block 10 times.
00:31:26.51\00:31:28.58
You know, it's just
simply live the life
00:31:28.62\00:31:30.75
by the grace of God.
00:31:30.79\00:31:32.12
Let somebody see that
Jesus lives in your heart.
00:31:32.15\00:31:35.56
Now that's a
witness right there.
00:31:35.59\00:31:37.93
That's a signal
that the Holy Spirit
00:31:37.96\00:31:39.73
is working in your
heart and in your life.
00:31:39.76\00:31:42.43
He said, "Blow
that trumpet in Zion."
00:31:42.46\00:31:45.13
Zion, I want to
think about a term
00:31:45.17\00:31:46.53
that can remind me
of the people of God.
00:31:46.57\00:31:49.44
Place where Jerusalem is
located on the mount there.
00:31:49.47\00:31:54.28
The message is simple.
00:31:54.31\00:31:55.71
Listen, it never changes.
00:31:55.74\00:31:57.25
I don't want,
ever want to change
00:31:57.28\00:31:58.61
from this pulpit here.
00:31:58.65\00:31:59.98
It's simply the message
00:32:00.02\00:32:01.35
which says blow
the trumpet in Zion
00:32:01.38\00:32:02.72
is saying wake up church.
00:32:02.75\00:32:04.09
See we think that we
are awake most of the time.
00:32:04.12\00:32:07.66
Almost everybody you ask a
Christian, well, we're awake.
00:32:07.69\00:32:09.39
We're ready for Jesus to come.
00:32:09.42\00:32:10.76
Really, are we?
00:32:10.79\00:32:12.29
Do you have the mind of Christ?
00:32:12.33\00:32:13.66
Do I have the mind of Christ?
00:32:13.70\00:32:15.03
Have I gained victory
00:32:15.06\00:32:16.40
over all these things in my life
00:32:16.43\00:32:17.77
or do I still have weaknesses?
00:32:17.80\00:32:19.13
Does the devil
take the mind sometimes?
00:32:19.17\00:32:20.50
Does he take the eyes sometimes?
00:32:20.54\00:32:21.87
Does he take this sometimes?
00:32:21.90\00:32:23.30
Thoughts and so on so forth?
00:32:23.34\00:32:24.67
Are we really like Christ
00:32:24.71\00:32:26.57
who never
sinned even in thought?
00:32:26.61\00:32:28.84
Come on church, you don't.
00:32:28.88\00:32:31.18
Let's not try to criticize
00:32:31.21\00:32:32.55
or horsewhip
anybody, is simply look at it.
00:32:32.58\00:32:35.85
Are we really ready
for the coming of Jesus?
00:32:35.88\00:32:38.65
Why?
00:32:38.69\00:32:40.02
Because you know,
00:32:40.06\00:32:41.39
and John in
Revelation talk about it.
00:32:41.42\00:32:43.22
He said, there's a people
00:32:43.26\00:32:44.59
in the last days that feel rich,
00:32:44.63\00:32:46.53
increased with good and
they have need of nothing.
00:32:46.56\00:32:50.10
Yes, most church members,
I'm ready for Jesus to come.
00:32:50.13\00:32:56.00
I'm ready for Jesus
to come. That'd be nice.
00:32:56.04\00:32:59.61
We need to be careful,
take heed lest we fall.
00:32:59.64\00:33:02.38
By the grace of God,
00:33:02.41\00:33:03.75
I want to be ready
when Jesus shall come.
00:33:03.78\00:33:06.55
We need to have that assurance,
00:33:06.58\00:33:07.98
we need to know we
have that relationship.
00:33:08.02\00:33:12.09
That's why we're
careful as Adventists
00:33:12.12\00:33:13.72
that we don't say, we're saved.
00:33:13.76\00:33:15.66
We say we want to be
00:33:15.69\00:33:17.03
in a saving
relationship with Christ
00:33:17.06\00:33:19.06
because it's ongoing.
00:33:19.09\00:33:20.90
While they're still
alive, isn't that right?
00:33:20.93\00:33:22.93
That means while
they're still alive,
00:33:22.96\00:33:24.30
that means we might turn
our back on God sometime,
00:33:24.33\00:33:26.33
millions have done it.
00:33:26.37\00:33:30.91
Wow.
00:33:30.94\00:33:32.27
Are we rich and
increased with good,
00:33:32.31\00:33:33.84
we have need of nothing?
00:33:33.88\00:33:35.58
Others, I've
heard people say this,
00:33:35.61\00:33:37.25
they'll say you know what?
00:33:37.28\00:33:38.88
I do feel a need.
00:33:38.91\00:33:42.72
I feel a need but you know what?
00:33:42.75\00:33:45.25
They're too
sleepy to be bothered.
00:33:45.29\00:33:47.66
They're grouchy.
00:33:47.69\00:33:49.52
Just like a person
00:33:49.56\00:33:50.89
who's trying to
get a little cat nap
00:33:50.93\00:33:52.26
and you wake them up,
they get a little grouchy.
00:33:52.29\00:33:55.53
They might say
a little something
00:33:55.56\00:33:56.90
that's sharp if
you wake them up.
00:33:56.93\00:34:00.14
I like to think in
terms I'm gonna use this word.
00:34:00.17\00:34:01.64
I think it's in the dictionary,
00:34:01.67\00:34:03.00
if it's not, it's
too bad, stupefied.
00:34:03.04\00:34:06.41
There's people
today who are stupefied.
00:34:09.64\00:34:12.51
All that simply means is
that they're unable to think.
00:34:12.55\00:34:17.02
They're unable to think things.
00:34:17.05\00:34:18.52
There's too many other things
00:34:18.55\00:34:19.89
in their mind
that's blocking out
00:34:19.92\00:34:21.26
what should be important,
00:34:21.29\00:34:22.62
and they just
can't think anymore.
00:34:22.66\00:34:23.99
They're groggy.
00:34:24.03\00:34:27.60
I'll try to say this nicely.
00:34:27.63\00:34:28.96
If you ever tried to reason
with a person who's drunk?
00:34:29.00\00:34:32.40
Not trying to criticize
anybody what to do you do.
00:34:32.43\00:34:34.70
I'm just saying.
00:34:34.74\00:34:36.34
You can't.
00:34:36.37\00:34:37.91
The mind is groggy.
00:34:37.94\00:34:39.94
The mind just
cannot separate that
00:34:39.97\00:34:42.04
which is good and bad.
00:34:42.08\00:34:45.45
That's what happened
when we're stupefied.
00:34:45.48\00:34:49.15
And they'll say, well,
00:34:49.18\00:34:50.72
when the latter rain falls,
my needs will be supplied.
00:34:50.75\00:34:54.09
Don't you fool yourself?
00:34:54.12\00:34:55.49
That's never going to happen
00:34:55.52\00:34:56.93
when you sit back on
your laurels and do nothing.
00:34:56.96\00:35:01.33
You didn't get that
00:35:01.36\00:35:02.70
when you sat
back on your backside.
00:35:02.73\00:35:04.83
If that's not clear
enough, I could use some other.
00:35:04.87\00:35:09.44
See sometimes, I'm
thinking, Brother Will,
00:35:09.47\00:35:12.24
sometime we need
a little clearer,
00:35:12.27\00:35:13.88
sharper words so that
00:35:13.91\00:35:15.71
we can really relate
to what's going on here
00:35:15.74\00:35:18.11
because this is not a game.
00:35:18.15\00:35:20.62
This is not wasting time.
00:35:20.65\00:35:22.45
This is wasting time, you get up
00:35:22.48\00:35:23.82
and waste your time on Sabbath,
00:35:23.85\00:35:25.19
you're not preparing
for the coming of God.
00:35:25.22\00:35:26.72
You can't see in
your mind that Jesus said,
00:35:26.76\00:35:28.52
I'm coming quickly.
00:35:28.56\00:35:29.89
And there are so many
changes that need to take place
00:35:29.92\00:35:31.26
and I need to stay close to Him,
00:35:31.29\00:35:32.73
I need to be studying,
I need to be witnessing,
00:35:32.76\00:35:34.73
I need to be praying
more than ever before.
00:35:34.76\00:35:38.30
There are conditions to
receiving the latter rain.
00:35:38.33\00:35:41.07
And I say today, praise
God, grace is still offered.
00:35:41.10\00:35:44.41
Probation door is still open,
00:35:44.44\00:35:45.77
you can still get in
before it's too late.
00:35:45.81\00:35:49.18
Don't push it, right?
00:35:49.21\00:35:50.55
Don't push it.
00:35:50.58\00:35:51.91
That door's gonna shut
00:35:51.95\00:35:53.28
one of these days
and it's all over.
00:35:53.31\00:35:54.68
The work of repentance,
the work of reformation,
00:35:54.72\00:35:57.52
to cleanse the soul
from every defilement of sin.
00:35:57.55\00:36:02.72
That's why Joel said
00:36:02.76\00:36:04.09
he's calling for the priest
00:36:04.13\00:36:05.46
and the ministers of the Lord
00:36:05.49\00:36:08.06
to weep between the
porch and the altar.
00:36:08.10\00:36:11.40
Do you realize weep
00:36:11.43\00:36:12.77
between the porch
what it really means?
00:36:12.80\00:36:14.37
When you're talking
about the earthly sanctuary
00:36:14.40\00:36:16.97
weep between the
porch and the altar
00:36:17.01\00:36:18.67
is where the
sacrifice was brought in.
00:36:18.71\00:36:22.64
He said we need to go
out there with a sacrifice.
00:36:22.68\00:36:25.75
We know a sacrifice
00:36:25.78\00:36:27.12
who is Jesus
Christ, isn't that right?
00:36:27.15\00:36:28.55
We accept that
sacrifice and then what?
00:36:28.58\00:36:30.82
Then things begin to change.
00:36:30.85\00:36:32.75
It says the porch and the altar.
00:36:32.79\00:36:34.62
That means the altar
was where altar sacrifice
00:36:34.66\00:36:37.09
is where forgiveness took place.
00:36:37.13\00:36:39.13
That's the plan of salvation
00:36:39.16\00:36:40.53
there was just
clearly rolled out
00:36:40.56\00:36:43.53
for us to understand.
00:36:43.57\00:36:45.20
When that sacrifice,
00:36:45.23\00:36:46.57
that lamb came in,
they had to kill it.
00:36:46.60\00:36:48.34
Without the shedding of
blood there's no remission.
00:36:48.37\00:36:51.04
There's no remission of sin.
00:36:51.07\00:36:53.38
Jesus is the Lamb.
00:36:53.41\00:36:54.74
Praise God for that.
00:36:54.78\00:36:56.28
You know, we need to be
crying, Lord, spare thy people.
00:36:56.31\00:36:59.41
I wonder how many of them,
pastors are praying right now,
00:36:59.45\00:37:01.45
oh, God spared the flock
that You have loaned to me.
00:37:01.48\00:37:06.29
I feel a responsibility
00:37:06.32\00:37:07.66
for everybody that
comes across that threshold,
00:37:07.69\00:37:09.46
may not be able
to do anything about,
00:37:09.49\00:37:10.83
there's a responsibility,
00:37:10.86\00:37:12.23
I guess, remember
back 20 and 30 years
00:37:12.26\00:37:14.26
that people come
across the threshold.
00:37:14.30\00:37:16.10
Many of them went on to say
00:37:16.13\00:37:17.47
by the grace of God
and began to work for God,
00:37:17.50\00:37:19.27
and many of them
went back to the world,
00:37:19.30\00:37:21.77
but you don't forget them.
00:37:21.80\00:37:23.97
You studied with them.
00:37:24.01\00:37:25.34
You've labored with
them. You've cried with them.
00:37:25.37\00:37:26.71
You've laughed with
them, you baptized them.
00:37:26.74\00:37:29.28
And then they,
00:37:29.31\00:37:30.65
some reason they take
their eyes off of Jesus.
00:37:30.68\00:37:32.75
Spare the people Lord.
00:37:32.78\00:37:34.85
The little book Six
Testimonies 408 says it,
00:37:34.88\00:37:37.95
see if it
doesn't relate for today.
00:37:37.99\00:37:40.46
I know I'm gonna try to
00:37:40.49\00:37:41.82
get to three very
important things that happened,
00:37:41.86\00:37:43.36
we'll do them
quickly but stay with me.
00:37:43.39\00:37:45.59
Six Testimonies 408 says this.
00:37:45.63\00:37:49.06
"The restraining Spirit of God
00:37:49.10\00:37:51.27
is even now being
withdrawn from the world."
00:37:51.30\00:37:54.57
Now, you'll say
well, how is that?
00:37:54.60\00:37:56.47
How do I know what
tells me that it's happening?
00:37:56.50\00:37:59.54
The article goes on and
says, "Hurricanes, and storms,
00:37:59.57\00:38:03.35
and tempests,
and fire and flood,
00:38:03.38\00:38:06.78
disasters by sea and land,
00:38:06.82\00:38:09.72
follow each other in what?
00:38:09.75\00:38:11.55
Quick succession,
00:38:11.59\00:38:13.96
notice what
this says right here.
00:38:13.99\00:38:15.42
Now, just stay
with me for a moment.
00:38:15.46\00:38:17.39
The article goes on and
says, science, come on church,
00:38:17.43\00:38:21.16
"Science seeks to
explain all of these signs."
00:38:21.20\00:38:26.90
Science does what?
00:38:26.94\00:38:28.90
Are you getting it?
00:38:28.94\00:38:30.27
I jotted a little something
I thought was very interesting.
00:38:30.31\00:38:32.31
Now, praise God for science,
00:38:32.34\00:38:33.88
we look at it try
to balance it all up.
00:38:33.91\00:38:35.54
I'm not, all the science there.
00:38:35.58\00:38:37.98
Sometimes I want to see about
00:38:38.01\00:38:39.35
because I hear
today things are going on.
00:38:39.38\00:38:41.48
And, well, the science involved
00:38:41.52\00:38:42.85
tells you have
to do this and that.
00:38:42.88\00:38:44.72
Well, somebody has
lied through their teeth.
00:38:44.75\00:38:47.66
There's not some science behind
00:38:47.69\00:38:49.02
some of the stuff that
they're advocating out there
00:38:49.06\00:38:50.56
that there is science.
00:38:50.59\00:38:52.96
And so when it says
science is behind this,
00:38:52.99\00:38:55.16
I want to look some things up.
00:38:55.20\00:38:56.53
So I said, I'm going
to look at one example.
00:38:56.56\00:38:58.67
You know why I
questioned science
00:38:58.70\00:39:01.14
and it didn't go very deep
00:39:01.17\00:39:02.50
but a couple of lines
here, it says right here.
00:39:02.54\00:39:04.31
And I found something on NASA.
00:39:04.34\00:39:06.88
I look up at NASA
and some of the weather
00:39:06.91\00:39:08.48
and different thing
nasa.gov comes up with this.
00:39:08.51\00:39:11.48
Notice this, it says,
00:39:11.51\00:39:12.85
talking about
earth's climate has changed.
00:39:12.88\00:39:16.25
Okay, where's the
science behind that?
00:39:16.28\00:39:19.12
Because I've heard about
the science behind the mask.
00:39:19.15\00:39:21.29
I've heard about
science behind the vaccine.
00:39:21.32\00:39:23.16
I've heard about the science.
00:39:23.19\00:39:24.53
Are you still with me?
00:39:24.56\00:39:25.89
This article here
written 150, 160 years ago,
00:39:25.93\00:39:28.50
you see what I'm
talking about here?
00:39:28.53\00:39:29.96
Science seeks to
explain the hurricanes,
00:39:30.00\00:39:32.63
and the storms, and
the tempests, and floods,
00:39:32.67\00:39:34.87
and all the disaster
by land and sea and air,
00:39:34.90\00:39:37.81
but they're
giving us something else.
00:39:37.84\00:39:39.44
So I'm saying what
does the science say here?
00:39:39.47\00:39:42.98
It started out this way I read.
00:39:43.01\00:39:44.81
I didn't count the
words but I don't know
00:39:44.85\00:39:46.35
I'll do 10 or 15
words and I'll just stop.
00:39:46.38\00:39:48.98
And I'll tell you
00:39:49.02\00:39:50.35
why because it
starts out this way here.
00:39:50.39\00:39:52.25
Science says about
the climate so and so.
00:39:52.29\00:39:55.02
It says earth's
climate has changed.
00:39:55.06\00:39:58.53
I'm gonna read on.
00:39:58.56\00:39:59.89
Okay, now here's what it says.
00:39:59.93\00:40:01.56
Throughout history,
00:40:01.60\00:40:04.20
just in the last 650,000 years,
00:40:04.23\00:40:08.54
I stopped reading.
00:40:11.57\00:40:13.24
Well, why should I read on?
00:40:13.27\00:40:15.81
The science behind
00:40:15.84\00:40:17.61
what they were
all talking about here
00:40:17.65\00:40:19.45
and kind of change.
00:40:19.48\00:40:20.82
It said they go back
00:40:20.85\00:40:22.18
and they're
covering 650,000 years.
00:40:22.22\00:40:26.52
And really you
study a little bit about
00:40:26.55\00:40:28.46
common sense based
on the Word of God.
00:40:28.49\00:40:30.99
The earth is
about 6000 years old.
00:40:31.03\00:40:33.13
Is that true? Absolutely it is.
00:40:33.16\00:40:36.00
Absolutely, it is.
00:40:36.03\00:40:37.47
Now, there may be
all kinds of stuff
00:40:37.50\00:40:38.83
that is here before the
foundation of the world.
00:40:38.87\00:40:40.74
I'm not talking about that
00:40:40.77\00:40:42.10
when God made
it for man to live.
00:40:42.14\00:40:44.87
So when I read
650,000 years ago, time,
00:40:44.91\00:40:48.24
I said, that's the science
00:40:48.28\00:40:50.81
and I'm forced to
base all of this stuff on.
00:40:50.85\00:40:54.92
Okay, maybe that's enough,
I'm just gonna put that up.
00:40:54.95\00:40:58.12
You see what I'm talking about?
00:40:58.15\00:40:59.49
I don't care if it
says science says what,
00:40:59.52\00:41:01.49
I'm going to check it
out by the Word of God.
00:41:01.52\00:41:04.36
"Science seeks to explain
00:41:04.39\00:41:07.03
all of the signs
thickening around us,
00:41:07.06\00:41:09.20
telling us the near
approach of the Son of God."
00:41:09.23\00:41:11.73
Notice what's there,
00:41:11.77\00:41:13.10
"They attributed them
00:41:13.13\00:41:14.47
to anything other
than the true cause."
00:41:14.50\00:41:17.17
They attributed anything
00:41:17.21\00:41:18.54
but what the
real cause of it is.
00:41:18.57\00:41:20.08
The cause is because God
is allowing it to happen,
00:41:20.11\00:41:23.35
to try to get your
attention and mine.
00:41:23.38\00:41:25.01
Notice this, men cannot discern
00:41:25.05\00:41:27.55
the similar angels
restraining the four winds,
00:41:27.58\00:41:30.15
remember in
Revelation 7, isn't it?
00:41:30.19\00:41:32.22
The four winds,
that they should not blow
00:41:32.25\00:41:34.99
until the servants of
God are sealed in there what?
00:41:35.02\00:41:38.39
Do you realize how many people
00:41:38.43\00:41:40.16
by the millions have
never ever read that?
00:41:40.20\00:41:42.10
They don't know about
the sealing of God's people?
00:41:42.13\00:41:44.20
They don't know about
00:41:44.23\00:41:45.57
the mark of the beast
or the mark of the enemy.
00:41:45.60\00:41:47.50
Remember if God has
a seal for His people,
00:41:47.54\00:41:49.44
the devil has a
seal for his people
00:41:49.47\00:41:51.67
because he has a
counterfeit for every truth.
00:41:51.71\00:41:53.48
Does that make sense?
00:41:53.51\00:41:54.88
If God has it, oh, God has a day
00:41:54.91\00:41:56.91
He wants you to worship on,
00:41:56.95\00:41:58.28
the devil has a day he
wants you to worship on.
00:41:58.31\00:42:02.38
It either is or it isn't.
00:42:02.42\00:42:03.85
The enemy said,
God says my people
00:42:03.89\00:42:05.39
they'll be, you know,
they're gonna be like me.
00:42:05.42\00:42:09.82
And the enemy says, my
people are gonna be like me.
00:42:09.86\00:42:13.03
You have a choice.
00:42:13.06\00:42:14.40
And that's it, you can be.
00:42:14.43\00:42:16.80
But when God shall bid
His angels loose the winds,
00:42:16.83\00:42:20.60
there will be
such a scene of strife.
00:42:20.64\00:42:23.64
No pen can picture.
00:42:23.67\00:42:26.68
You can't even write it
out how bad it's going to be.
00:42:26.71\00:42:29.41
God have mercy
00:42:29.44\00:42:30.81
on a lazy sleepy
church if that be.
00:42:30.85\00:42:34.78
Here's another warning,
Six Testimonies 408 said this.
00:42:34.82\00:42:38.72
Could the
curtains be rolled back?
00:42:38.75\00:42:40.36
I don't know if
you can stand it.
00:42:40.39\00:42:41.82
I don't know if
I could stand it.
00:42:41.86\00:42:44.33
If the curtain has rolled
back, and we just saw tomorrow,
00:42:44.36\00:42:47.26
let alone
what's going to happen.
00:42:47.30\00:42:48.73
So it'd be too
much for some of us
00:42:48.76\00:42:50.13
because there'd be maybe death
00:42:50.17\00:42:51.87
and disease and disaster
00:42:51.90\00:42:53.23
that we're just trying
to make it through today.
00:42:53.27\00:42:55.44
And that's all God says
to do, isn't that right?
00:42:55.47\00:42:57.51
Just take today,
don't worry about tomorrow.
00:42:57.54\00:42:59.51
Tomorrow takes
thought of itself,
00:42:59.54\00:43:01.98
sufficient unto
today is the evil thereof,
00:43:02.01\00:43:04.15
what the Bible says.
00:43:04.18\00:43:06.58
Could that
curtain be rolled back?
00:43:06.61\00:43:09.28
You would discern
the purposes of God.
00:43:09.32\00:43:13.02
The judgments that are about
to fall upon the doomed world.
00:43:13.05\00:43:17.36
It's going to get more already.
00:43:17.39\00:43:18.73
We're already
having them right now.
00:43:18.76\00:43:20.30
Notice, could you
see your own attitude,
00:43:20.33\00:43:25.00
you would fear and
tremble before your own souls?
00:43:25.03\00:43:29.04
If we could just really
00:43:29.07\00:43:30.41
see our own
attitude and how we're...
00:43:30.44\00:43:32.77
We think we're just going
to humble bumble jumble around
00:43:32.81\00:43:35.38
until Jesus come and fumble
around and stumble into heaven.
00:43:35.41\00:43:38.51
We need to think
again. Is that okay?
00:43:38.55\00:43:42.12
I mean, there needs to be
00:43:42.15\00:43:43.49
some humbling before
God, there needs to be
00:43:43.52\00:43:45.22
some weeping and
crying between the porch
00:43:45.25\00:43:46.79
and the altar to
get ourselves right.
00:43:46.82\00:43:49.56
And most of the
time in Adventism,
00:43:49.59\00:43:50.93
we don't even have
an altar we come to.
00:43:50.96\00:43:52.83
We never have an
altar call people
00:43:52.86\00:43:54.30
come up and pray.
00:43:54.33\00:43:55.66
Man, you know, we need some more
00:43:55.70\00:43:57.20
of this stuff to get down
and say, you know, God help me.
00:43:57.23\00:44:02.20
He's wanting to roll
it back just a little bit
00:44:02.24\00:44:03.81
so you can see and I can see,
00:44:03.84\00:44:05.94
if we did, we'd see ourself
and I'd fear and I tremble
00:44:05.97\00:44:11.51
because I can't see that
00:44:11.55\00:44:12.88
He sees anything
good in me, but He does.
00:44:12.91\00:44:16.85
He sees something good in you.
00:44:16.89\00:44:18.92
He sees the
finished product. Praise God.
00:44:18.95\00:44:21.96
Earnest prayers of
heart-rendering anguish
00:44:21.99\00:44:25.49
would go up to heaven.
00:44:25.53\00:44:28.06
You would weep
00:44:28.10\00:44:29.43
between the porch and the altar,
00:44:29.46\00:44:31.63
confessing your
spiritual blindness
00:44:31.67\00:44:33.70
and backsliding.
00:44:33.74\00:44:36.54
Once we learn
some of these truths
00:44:36.57\00:44:38.27
that we have learned and
we studied the Bible about
00:44:38.31\00:44:40.54
with Sabbath
keeping and whatever back.
00:44:40.58\00:44:42.08
We think we're going to
00:44:42.11\00:44:43.45
get into heaven
as Sabbath breakers,
00:44:43.48\00:44:45.35
I almost say it this
way, you're out of your mind.
00:44:45.38\00:44:47.48
Can I say that?
00:44:47.52\00:44:49.35
I say those things
because I love everybody.
00:44:49.38\00:44:52.05
I want to get people
stirred up a little bit
00:44:52.09\00:44:55.22
because they actually think
that we can just, you know,
00:44:55.26\00:44:57.43
well to kind of
how we feel about it.
00:44:57.46\00:44:59.69
Well, God specifically
lays down what He says.
00:44:59.73\00:45:03.10
He said don't do
your own pleasure
00:45:03.13\00:45:04.63
on My holy day.
00:45:04.67\00:45:06.30
You call the Sabbath a delight.
00:45:06.33\00:45:07.67
Don't say oh my, and
speaking your own words
00:45:07.70\00:45:10.67
and doing your own
things on My holy day.
00:45:10.71\00:45:14.84
So you think
He's just gonna look
00:45:14.88\00:45:16.21
the other way and say,
00:45:16.24\00:45:17.58
well, you went and
did all these things.
00:45:17.61\00:45:18.95
Well, come on up anyway.
00:45:18.98\00:45:20.32
No, no, it's a
matter of being obedient.
00:45:20.35\00:45:22.22
We found that all
through scriptures, you read it,
00:45:22.25\00:45:24.79
Adam and Eve, right?
00:45:24.82\00:45:26.39
One point, what
happened? Out of the garden.
00:45:26.42\00:45:29.42
Right, Lucifer as it were,
right, wanted to be like God,
00:45:29.46\00:45:32.23
out of heaven.
00:45:32.26\00:45:33.80
I mean, just look at the things.
00:45:33.83\00:45:38.37
Moses, what a
man of God to put up
00:45:38.40\00:45:41.17
with all the whoo
stuff he put up with, right?
00:45:41.20\00:45:45.61
One instance when he
hit the rock one instead
00:45:45.64\00:45:48.41
and God said speak to it.
00:45:48.44\00:45:49.78
He hit the rock, rock
represents Jesus Christ.
00:45:49.81\00:45:51.95
And he said, you can't go
00:45:51.98\00:45:53.31
into the land of milk and honey,
00:45:53.35\00:45:55.18
you're going to die right here.
00:45:55.22\00:45:57.49
You think after all he had done
00:45:57.52\00:45:58.85
for all the 40
years of backsliding,
00:45:58.89\00:46:01.32
mumbling, griping people.
00:46:01.36\00:46:05.29
God expects us
because he has send
00:46:05.33\00:46:08.23
the Holy Spirit give you
power and give you strength,
00:46:08.26\00:46:10.93
that we can be
more than conquerors.
00:46:10.97\00:46:12.60
You know, right now in ministry.
00:46:12.63\00:46:16.54
I see eight minutes.
00:46:16.57\00:46:19.97
Oh, I'll hear about
it later, she'll tell me.
00:46:20.01\00:46:22.31
You didn't even get to
the three solemn warning.
00:46:22.34\00:46:24.38
Well, if you really look
at those solemn warnings,
00:46:31.65\00:46:33.96
the thing right there
00:46:33.99\00:46:35.32
is you'll find that
the Bible says very,
00:46:35.36\00:46:37.79
very clearly that
there's going to be
00:46:37.83\00:46:39.36
an earthquake,
you remember that?
00:46:39.39\00:46:41.10
And you look at
the Lisbon earthquake,
00:46:41.13\00:46:42.46
and so on and so
forth right there.
00:46:42.50\00:46:44.87
And then, you
know, that's in 1755.
00:46:44.90\00:46:46.80
So you can find and
then it says, you know,
00:46:46.84\00:46:48.60
the sun becomes dark.
00:46:48.64\00:46:49.97
Do you remember those?
00:46:50.01\00:46:53.41
What happened we realized
during the Reformation, right,
00:46:53.44\00:46:56.44
like many
beautiful truths came out,
00:46:56.48\00:46:58.95
but then all of a sudden people
begin to lose their vision.
00:46:58.98\00:47:02.65
The Protestant
begin to lose their faith.
00:47:02.68\00:47:05.02
And God said something's
going to have to take place
00:47:05.05\00:47:06.76
because there's going
to be religious revival
00:47:06.79\00:47:08.32
is going to break loose.
00:47:08.36\00:47:09.82
That His coming.
00:47:09.86\00:47:11.19
We have 1843, 1844
message, papal persecution,
00:47:11.23\00:47:16.43
the Dark Ages of 538 to 1798.
00:47:16.46\00:47:20.04
And despite this
reformation, what happened?
00:47:20.07\00:47:24.71
The light went out.
00:47:24.74\00:47:26.07
And God said, I'm
going to call My people back
00:47:26.11\00:47:28.01
because there's going to be
00:47:28.04\00:47:29.38
something that's
going to take place.
00:47:29.41\00:47:30.75
The judgment hour is coming.
00:47:30.78\00:47:33.95
But doctrines of
the Bible been put down
00:47:33.98\00:47:36.22
and tradition
began to take over.
00:47:36.25\00:47:38.59
And how do we
know that these things?
00:47:38.62\00:47:40.26
Because Matthew 24:29 says this,
00:47:40.29\00:47:43.83
"Immediately after the
tribulation of those days
00:47:43.86\00:47:48.03
shall the sun be darkened."
00:47:48.06\00:47:49.63
What?
00:47:49.66\00:47:51.00
Immediately after
tribulation of what?
00:47:51.03\00:47:53.44
The Dark Ages 538 to
1798, immediately after that,
00:47:53.47\00:47:57.81
and about 25 years
00:47:57.84\00:47:59.17
before that
persecution pretty much stopped.
00:47:59.21\00:48:01.88
So God was sending signs to say,
00:48:01.91\00:48:04.11
things are going to be
shaken up a little bit here,
00:48:04.15\00:48:06.72
this great earthquake.
00:48:06.75\00:48:08.32
And then he goes on said,
00:48:08.35\00:48:09.68
the moon shall
not give her light
00:48:09.72\00:48:11.05
and stars shall
fall from heaven.
00:48:11.09\00:48:13.12
The power of the
heaven shall be shaken.
00:48:13.15\00:48:16.12
What are the powers of heaven?
00:48:16.16\00:48:17.93
The sun, the
moon, and the stars.
00:48:17.96\00:48:20.40
When he says
earth, he means earth,
00:48:20.43\00:48:21.86
when he means the
heavens, he means the heavens.
00:48:21.90\00:48:24.43
But he says he's going
to shake the earth first.
00:48:24.47\00:48:26.57
When he shake the
earth that's going to be war
00:48:26.60\00:48:28.80
and rumors of war and sword
00:48:28.84\00:48:30.64
and famine and pestilence.
00:48:30.67\00:48:33.88
We're seeing
that, and I tell you,
00:48:33.91\00:48:35.64
we're going to see more of it.
00:48:35.68\00:48:37.88
Prophecy tells
us why Jesus come,
00:48:37.91\00:48:42.08
why He came in
real signs and tokens.
00:48:42.12\00:48:45.79
Jesus said in Luke 21:25
quickly note what he said,
00:48:45.82\00:48:49.22
"There shall be signs in," what?
00:48:49.26\00:48:51.16
"In the sun, and in the
moon, and in the stars."
00:48:51.19\00:48:54.56
Mark 13:24, I'm
reading them quickly.
00:48:54.60\00:48:56.80
26, "The sun shall be darkened
00:48:56.83\00:48:59.40
and the moon shall
not give her," what?
00:48:59.43\00:49:01.10
Her light, the stars
of heaven shall fall,
00:49:01.14\00:49:02.90
the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken.
00:49:02.94\00:49:05.51
And then shall
you see the Son of Man
00:49:05.54\00:49:07.28
coming in the clouds of glory."
00:49:07.31\00:49:09.31
John in
Revelation 6:12 described
00:49:09.34\00:49:11.75
the very first sign.
00:49:11.78\00:49:13.11
He said, signs will
come before Jesus return.
00:49:13.15\00:49:15.82
There will be a
great earthquake.
00:49:15.85\00:49:17.69
The sun will become
black as sackcloth of hair,
00:49:17.72\00:49:19.89
the moon shall become as blood.
00:49:19.92\00:49:21.66
Jesus talked about it.
00:49:21.69\00:49:23.02
Mark talked about it.
Matthew talked about it.
00:49:23.06\00:49:24.76
John talked about
it. Joel talked about it.
00:49:24.79\00:49:26.70
Peter talked about it
00:49:26.73\00:49:28.06
and talking to
the Old Testament.
00:49:28.10\00:49:29.43
So it's got to
be truth right here.
00:49:29.46\00:49:31.10
Solemn events, signs.
00:49:31.13\00:49:33.37
1755 was that first sign
caught in the wide world web.
00:49:33.40\00:49:37.77
You look it up
the britannica.com
00:49:37.81\00:49:40.44
states this, a magnitude,
00:49:40.48\00:49:42.24
talking about the
Lisbon earthquake.
00:49:42.28\00:49:44.55
It shook a greater part
of Europe, Africa, America,
00:49:44.58\00:49:47.62
Sweden, and Norway, so
in Great Britain and so on.
00:49:47.65\00:49:51.02
It was an 8.59 was the
most destructive earthquake
00:49:51.05\00:49:56.02
in European history.
00:49:56.06\00:49:57.89
It cut and it covered
00:49:57.93\00:49:59.26
approximately 4
million square miles.
00:49:59.29\00:50:02.46
Then encyclopedia Americana,
that's the 1831 edition,
00:50:02.50\00:50:07.50
makes a statement
and talking about Lisbon
00:50:07.54\00:50:09.90
is that a shock
of the earthquake
00:50:09.94\00:50:11.27
was so instantly followed
00:50:11.31\00:50:12.74
by the fall of
00:50:12.77\00:50:18.41
every church, and convent, yeah.
00:50:18.45\00:50:21.88
It happened on a holy day,
00:50:21.92\00:50:24.15
the church and
convent were full,
00:50:24.19\00:50:26.22
and very few escaped.
00:50:26.25\00:50:28.19
Almost all were killed.
00:50:28.22\00:50:30.83
Solemn event number two.
00:50:30.86\00:50:32.19
Now remember,
it said immediately
00:50:32.23\00:50:33.56
after the days of
persecution, we realized 1798.
00:50:33.60\00:50:35.66
So we realized 1755,
about 25 years beforehand,
00:50:35.70\00:50:38.93
you know, it's pretty calm down.
00:50:38.97\00:50:41.14
And all of sudden
God sent the sign why?
00:50:41.17\00:50:42.77
Because the
judgment hour is commencing,
00:50:42.80\00:50:44.67
the three angels' message
is getting ready to come out.
00:50:44.71\00:50:47.08
1844 you know, in the 2300 days,
00:50:47.11\00:50:50.51
a lot of things were beginning
to happen in this country
00:50:50.55\00:50:52.31
and religious people
00:50:52.35\00:50:53.68
were awakening to
studying prophecy.
00:50:53.72\00:50:55.65
Solemn event number two happened
00:50:55.68\00:50:57.15
25 years later,
00:50:57.19\00:50:58.52
it was the darkening of
the sun and the moon, remember?
00:50:58.55\00:51:01.62
Mark 13:24 said, "In those
days after that tribulation,
00:51:01.66\00:51:05.66
the sun shall be darkened,
00:51:05.69\00:51:07.03
and the moon shall
not give her light."
00:51:07.06\00:51:08.46
Did that really happen?
00:51:08.50\00:51:10.27
Sure, after 1260
years of persecution,
00:51:10.30\00:51:13.40
May 19, 1780, this is leading us
00:51:13.44\00:51:16.34
up to you can
start relating to 1780,
00:51:16.37\00:51:18.37
isn't that right,
1755, 1780 prophecy
00:51:18.41\00:51:21.31
was fulfilled, called
the dark day in history.
00:51:21.34\00:51:24.88
Joel 2:31.
00:51:24.91\00:51:27.48
Joel prophesied
this thing happening
00:51:27.52\00:51:30.09
2500 years before it happened.
00:51:30.12\00:51:32.75
Interesting.
00:51:32.79\00:51:34.12
This took place when he said,
00:51:34.16\00:51:35.49
"The sun shall be
turned into darkness,
00:51:35.52\00:51:36.93
the moon into
blood, before the great
00:51:36.96\00:51:38.66
and terrible day of the Lord."
00:51:38.69\00:51:41.46
You can read more and
more and more and more on that.
00:51:41.50\00:51:43.03
The third solemn
event and sign that
00:51:43.06\00:51:45.47
we need to realize that
00:51:45.50\00:51:46.84
puts us where
we're at is it happened,
00:51:46.87\00:51:48.64
it said the stars...
00:51:48.67\00:51:50.94
Matthew 24:29, "The
stars shall fall from heaven."
00:51:50.97\00:51:54.11
The stars shall
fall from heaven.
00:51:54.14\00:51:55.51
Revelation 6:13.
00:51:55.54\00:51:56.88
John said in Revelation,
00:51:56.91\00:51:58.25
He saw it and said scenes that
tell of the day of the Lord.
00:51:58.28\00:52:02.02
He said the stars of
heaven fell into the earth
00:52:02.05\00:52:04.29
even as a fig
casteth her untimely figs.
00:52:04.32\00:52:07.06
These are things that
00:52:07.09\00:52:08.42
we need prophecy
filled, November 13,
00:52:08.46\00:52:10.19
1833, you
realize how close, why?
00:52:10.23\00:52:13.13
Because 1844 was just around
the corner, isn't that right?
00:52:13.16\00:52:17.50
Think about it, the
end of the 2300 days.
00:52:17.53\00:52:21.17
Remember, the giving of
the three angels' message,
00:52:21.20\00:52:24.51
the judgment hour.
00:52:24.54\00:52:25.87
Man, all kinds of
things were going.
00:52:25.91\00:52:27.24
This was just a short 10,
00:52:27.28\00:52:28.61
maybe11 years
before this took place.
00:52:28.64\00:52:30.88
Jesus is sending
signs and said this is it.
00:52:30.91\00:52:33.01
The third one that Jesus,
00:52:33.05\00:52:34.38
Jesus just mentioned three,
00:52:34.42\00:52:35.75
we're already there 1833, right?
00:52:35.78\00:52:39.19
Those times that we
can start relating to
00:52:39.22\00:52:41.26
and here's what they said,
00:52:41.29\00:52:42.62
there's the people
who wrote them down,
00:52:42.66\00:52:43.99
we got just a minute
I'll read it as fast as I can.
00:52:44.03\00:52:45.36
This is called
from a book Great Events
00:52:45.39\00:52:47.30
of the Greatest Century.
00:52:47.33\00:52:48.96
It said, "It was
the most extensive
00:52:49.00\00:52:50.37
and wonderful
display of falling stars,
00:52:50.40\00:52:52.63
which has ever been recorded."
00:52:52.67\00:52:54.30
Things I'm talking about here
00:52:54.34\00:52:55.67
you can find in
worldly newspapers
00:52:55.70\00:52:57.17
and encyclopedias and
all this kind of stuff
00:52:57.21\00:52:58.87
so it's nothing well,
00:52:58.91\00:53:00.24
you folks gonna dug all this up.
00:53:00.28\00:53:01.61
It had such an impact
on the world that people
00:53:01.64\00:53:04.31
were reading about it.
00:53:04.35\00:53:06.01
And talking about
in December 13, 1833,
00:53:06.05\00:53:08.52
an article here from
the Christian Advocate
00:53:08.55\00:53:10.45
in Journal says,
speaking of the stars,
00:53:10.49\00:53:12.42
he said they were
shooting forth, notice this,
00:53:12.45\00:53:14.92
with a velocity of lightning,
00:53:14.96\00:53:17.73
every part of the horizon
00:53:17.76\00:53:19.16
and yet where they
were not exhausted,
00:53:19.19\00:53:21.10
thousands swiftly followed
in the tracks of thousands,
00:53:21.13\00:53:24.93
as if created for the occasion.
00:53:24.97\00:53:27.70
Interesting that's the last,
00:53:27.74\00:53:29.70
the third sign that
Jesus gave to disciples.
00:53:29.74\00:53:31.47
Here's what He says
00:53:31.51\00:53:32.84
most important in Matthew 24:33.
00:53:32.87\00:53:35.34
He said, when
you see these things,
00:53:35.38\00:53:37.68
when you see these
signs, know that is near what?
00:53:37.71\00:53:41.25
Even at the door.
00:53:41.28\00:53:43.99
The time is here.
00:53:44.02\00:53:45.95
Jesus is soon to come.
00:53:45.99\00:53:47.76
He's not playing games
00:53:47.79\00:53:49.12
with any of us,
as you will know.
00:53:49.16\00:53:51.49
He's wanting to come back.
00:53:51.53\00:53:52.93
There's work that
we need to be doing.
00:53:52.96\00:53:54.50
We know that as God's people,
00:53:54.53\00:53:56.20
commitments that we need
to make to be more like Him.
00:53:56.23\00:53:59.73
And God has all
the preparation to say,
00:53:59.77\00:54:01.67
I'll give you
all kinds of signs.
00:54:01.70\00:54:03.54
They're solemn,
blow the trumpet,
00:54:03.57\00:54:04.91
warn the world that I'm coming.
00:54:04.94\00:54:06.61
Don't you see what's
happening in the world today
00:54:06.64\00:54:08.58
is telling you
that I'm coming soon.
00:54:08.61\00:54:10.68
He is our hope, He
is our encouragement.
00:54:10.71\00:54:12.81
He's going to be our strength.
00:54:12.85\00:54:14.52
Let Him be that for you today.
00:54:14.55\00:54:15.88
I encourage you those
who are at home, be sure.
00:54:15.92\00:54:18.15
Right now say, oh, Lord, I
want to be among that number.
00:54:18.19\00:54:21.22
I don't want to miss heaven.
00:54:21.26\00:54:22.72
I want heaven to be my home.
00:54:22.76\00:54:24.09
Do you feel like that
today by the grace of God?
00:54:24.13\00:54:25.83
That's right, signs tell
that Jesus is coming soon.
00:54:25.86\00:54:29.53
Let's pray, shall we
together as we close?
00:54:29.56\00:54:33.23
Merciful Father in heaven,
00:54:33.27\00:54:34.60
again we thank You for
Your grace and Your mercy,
00:54:34.64\00:54:36.57
Your long-suffering.
00:54:36.60\00:54:37.94
Lord, how wonderful that
00:54:37.97\00:54:39.31
You put all of these
things together and then even,
00:54:39.34\00:54:41.24
you know, from the Word of God
00:54:41.28\00:54:42.61
and in the
history is it's all there,
00:54:42.64\00:54:44.51
can all be backed up
it tells of Your coming.
00:54:44.55\00:54:48.15
We need not miss it,
00:54:48.18\00:54:49.52
we need not be you
know, like all mixed up.
00:54:49.55\00:54:52.32
But, Lord, some time
00:54:52.35\00:54:53.69
we're like unbelieving children.
00:54:53.72\00:54:55.42
We don't want to hear it.
00:54:55.46\00:54:57.03
We don't want to believe
what is soon to take place.
00:54:57.06\00:54:58.59
We just want things
to go on like they are.
00:54:58.63\00:55:01.50
I think the world is
going to come into the position
00:55:01.53\00:55:03.26
where everybody's gonna
say, you know, I don't want to
00:55:03.30\00:55:05.00
continue the way
it's going right now.
00:55:05.03\00:55:07.20
We need some
changes, and I see no way out.
00:55:07.24\00:55:09.37
I long for Jesus to come
and take us out of this mess.
00:55:09.40\00:55:12.64
We want to go home.
00:55:12.67\00:55:14.08
Thank you for
those who have made
00:55:14.11\00:55:15.44
that decision,
that choice right now.
00:55:15.48\00:55:17.71
And, Lord, we
are gonna thank You
00:55:17.75\00:55:19.08
in advance for
what You're going to do.
00:55:19.11\00:55:20.45
Save us, Lord, when You
come in the clouds of heaven.
00:55:20.48\00:55:22.68
We thank You for hearing,
00:55:22.72\00:55:24.05
thank You for answering
prayer in Jesus' name, amen.
00:55:24.09\00:55:27.82
Hello, and
welcome back, friends.
00:55:27.86\00:55:29.42
Our desire is that your heart
00:55:29.46\00:55:31.33
was stirred by

00:55:31.36\00:55:33.36
and that you are ready, willing,
00:55:33.40\00:55:35.26
and able to blow
your trumpet in Zion,
00:55:35.30\00:55:37.93
and wake up your
friends, your family,
00:55:37.97\00:55:40.60
your neighbors, and
help them to prepare
00:55:40.64\00:55:43.10
for the future solemn events
00:55:43.14\00:55:44.87
that are soon to
take place in this world.
00:55:44.91\00:55:47.88
We have yet to experience
00:55:47.91\00:55:49.54
the mark of the
beast to be instituted.
00:55:49.58\00:55:51.81
And therefore to help you know
00:55:51.85\00:55:53.82
and understand more
about this future event,
00:55:53.85\00:55:56.38
we will send you a
copy of this book entitled
00:55:56.42\00:56:00.26
The Mark of the Beast to anyone
00:56:00.29\00:56:02.82
who calls and simply ask for it.
00:56:02.86\00:56:05.29
If you request a copy
outside of the United States,
00:56:05.33\00:56:08.83
we may have to add
00:56:08.86\00:56:10.20
some extra shipping
costs to your total.
00:56:10.23\00:56:13.57
But that's the only
thing that we'll do,
00:56:13.60\00:56:15.44
this is your free gift
to anyone who wants to call
00:56:15.47\00:56:18.31

00:56:18.34\00:56:19.67
And as always, this
message entitled Solemn Events:

is available to you on DVD or CD
00:56:24.51\00:56:27.85
for a love gift
of just $8 or more.
00:56:27.88\00:56:31.09
Please don't forget that or more
00:56:31.12\00:56:34.39
because as many of you know,
00:56:34.42\00:56:36.52
all of our
shipping costs are rising,
00:56:36.56\00:56:38.76
our cost of
production is rising,
00:56:38.79\00:56:40.83
our cost for
equipment is rising,
00:56:40.86\00:56:43.10
but we've held the cost down
00:56:43.13\00:56:44.87
on these programs as low
and as long as we possibly can.
00:56:44.90\00:56:48.94
Because there are
many of you that say,
00:56:48.97\00:56:50.94
Lord, how much should I give?
00:56:50.97\00:56:52.67
And you always give more.
00:56:52.71\00:56:54.71
So we thank you
for those love gifts.

I just want to
thank so many of you.
00:57:34.52\00:57:36.82
In fact, I had a message today
00:57:36.85\00:57:38.75
from someone that
lives in Tennessee.
00:57:38.79\00:57:40.79

for you guys every day."

I'm telling you, your

Until next time
may our precious Lord
00:57:53.80\00:57:56.00
continue to richly
bless you and yours.
