00:12:04.42\00:12:07.19 I don't want you to become discouraged with it. 00:12:07.22\00:12:08.92 This is not for or against the government. 00:12:08.96\00:12:12.29 It's this simple things that 00:12:12.33\00:12:13.66 we have to look at how God set it up, 00:12:13.70\00:12:16.33 and what's happening to our country that we love. 00:12:16.36\00:12:21.04 I want to read just a few things. 00:12:21.07\00:12:22.47 And I want to make sense to you. 00:12:22.50\00:12:25.34 And then, by the grace of God point out some other points, 00:12:25.37\00:12:28.44 I believe that will take us in a direction 00:12:28.48\00:12:31.01 that will help us see again and again. 00:12:31.05\00:12:34.58 Remember, when Noah preached, how long did he preach? 00:12:34.62\00:12:38.12 Hundred and twenty years. 00:12:38.15\00:12:40.06 Different messages I guess. 00:12:40.09\00:12:43.36 He stayed on the same one. 00:12:43.39\00:12:44.96 So some of you want to get on to him, 00:12:44.99\00:12:46.33 you go ahead. 00:12:46.36\00:12:47.83 I've got over 100 years to keep. 00:12:47.86\00:12:50.63 All right. Same message, you follow me? 00:12:50.67\00:12:54.00 Yeah. 00:12:54.04\00:12:55.37 Never get discouraged 00:12:55.40\00:12:56.77 when we're studying the Books of Daniel 00:12:56.81\00:12:58.44 and Revelation and prophecy. 00:12:58.47\00:13:00.51 Do not get discouraged with that. 00:13:00.54\00:13:02.34 That's where your head needs to be. 00:13:02.38\00:13:04.78 That's where my head needs to be that 00:13:04.81\00:13:07.15 things are revealed that God said, "I reveal them. 00:13:07.18\00:13:10.45 I'm giving you a revelation of Myself, 00:13:10.49\00:13:13.12 of things that are shortly to take place." 00:13:13.15\00:13:16.66 That sound like a warning to me, 00:13:16.69\00:13:18.93 one of love and one of encouragement, I like that. 00:13:18.96\00:13:22.46 As we think back, 00:13:22.50\00:13:23.83 we think about our Constitution is guaranteed, 00:13:23.87\00:13:26.13 we say, our religious freedom 00:13:26.17\00:13:28.30 is guaranteed, they say. 00:13:28.34\00:13:30.67 We can worship God 00:13:30.71\00:13:32.04 according to the dictates of our conscience, 00:13:32.07\00:13:33.98 we are told, 00:13:34.01\00:13:35.54 but yet I see some things that are happening. 00:13:35.58\00:13:39.15 And so I refer to the Great Controversy. 00:13:39.18\00:13:41.48 Now the Bible we can go through and we will do that, 00:13:41.52\00:13:44.45 we'll be studying Book of Revelation Chapter 13, 00:13:44.49\00:13:46.59 we look at the first beast, we look at second beast. 00:13:46.62\00:13:49.29 Think about this, of all the countries 00:13:49.32\00:13:52.13 that are mentioned in Scripture. 00:13:52.16\00:13:55.30 You know, you talk about Babylon, Medo-Persia, 00:13:55.33\00:13:56.67 Greece and Rome, 00:13:56.70\00:13:58.03 all the big places of the world, 00:13:58.07\00:14:00.14 surely before Jesus comes, 00:14:00.17\00:14:02.60 there's something going to happen 00:14:02.64\00:14:04.01 in the United States of America that would bring it 00:14:04.04\00:14:06.74 into the Bible and Bible prophecy. 00:14:06.78\00:14:09.88 There's no country ever been like it before. 00:14:09.91\00:14:12.08 Surely it's mentioned in here. 00:14:12.11\00:14:14.32 Surely, it's told how it would be set up. 00:14:14.35\00:14:16.72 Surely it's told how it would end up speaking. 00:14:16.75\00:14:20.49 It makes sense. 00:14:20.52\00:14:23.49 And so we want to discover that more today 00:14:23.53\00:14:25.59 The Great Controversy, 205 and 6 says this. 00:14:25.63\00:14:28.70 And I like this, it says, we must return 00:14:28.73\00:14:30.83 because we're having such problems, 00:14:30.87\00:14:32.57 and we're having problems 00:14:32.60\00:14:33.94 because we've gotten away from the Word of God. 00:14:33.97\00:14:35.80 Are you still with me? That's our problem. 00:14:35.84\00:14:37.91 We've gotten away from a thus saith the Lord 00:14:37.94\00:14:40.61 and I'm hearing too much about thus saith the man. 00:14:40.64\00:14:43.68 I don't care about thus saith the man. 00:14:43.71\00:14:45.45 I'm talking about myself up here. 00:14:45.48\00:14:48.12 You check everything that said, 00:14:48.15\00:14:49.88 you see whether it be so in the Word of God. 00:14:49.92\00:14:52.92 And sometime we have to lay aside 00:14:52.95\00:14:54.46 our preconceived ideas in order to get to that point. 00:14:54.49\00:14:59.03 But the Great Controversy says this, 00:14:59.06\00:15:00.70 but it's talking about the reformation. 00:15:00.73\00:15:02.60 And I hope you know a little about the reformation. 00:15:02.63\00:15:04.23 Some of you certainly know much more about than I do. 00:15:04.27\00:15:07.00 But I praise God for the reformation. 00:15:07.04\00:15:10.41 There needed to be and there needs to be 00:15:10.44\00:15:11.77 a reformation today. 00:15:11.81\00:15:14.88 God's Church is Laodicea. 00:15:14.91\00:15:17.58 It's lukewarm. 00:15:17.61\00:15:19.75 Yeah, sleeping, song some zees. 00:15:19.78\00:15:24.02 And we don't want to be bothered the majority. 00:15:24.05\00:15:28.69 So we must return, this article says, 00:15:28.72\00:15:30.83 we must return to the Protestant principle. 00:15:30.86\00:15:35.40 Remember, Protestant means you protest Catholicism? 00:15:35.43\00:15:38.80 Is that okay to say that? 00:15:38.83\00:15:40.54 That's what a Protestant is. 00:15:40.57\00:15:42.07 So if you're... 00:15:42.10\00:15:43.44 Well, I almost said, 00:15:43.47\00:15:44.81 if you're too yellow to do that, 00:15:44.84\00:15:46.17 and I won't do that from the pulpit. 00:15:46.21\00:15:47.94 Pray for my brother, Jan, you know how. 00:15:47.98\00:15:50.95 If you don't have the spiritual backbone. 00:15:50.98\00:15:53.42 Right? 00:15:53.45\00:15:54.78 This is why the reformation came about. 00:15:54.82\00:15:58.65 Protest, about changing, right? 00:15:58.69\00:16:01.76 The Word of God, 00:16:01.79\00:16:03.39 and things that were happening back then. 00:16:03.43\00:16:05.33 And then the Protestant says this, 00:16:05.36\00:16:06.86 what we need to do is go back to the Bible 00:16:06.90\00:16:09.43 and the Bible only as our rule of faith. 00:16:09.46\00:16:13.94 Does that make sense? 00:16:13.97\00:16:15.30 Let's get back to the rule of our faith. 00:16:15.34\00:16:18.17 Satan still working through every means, 00:16:18.21\00:16:21.64 which he can to control that and destroy religious liberty. 00:16:21.68\00:16:27.42 See, part of this talk today on religious liberty, 00:16:27.45\00:16:30.52 freedom of religion, 00:16:30.55\00:16:31.99 and some people say, "Oh, let's be careful 00:16:32.02\00:16:33.36 we don't throw things out there." 00:16:33.39\00:16:34.72 Listen, I don't care what you throw out there today. 00:16:34.76\00:16:36.52 I believe this has some meaning. 00:16:36.56\00:16:38.19 Something's going on in the world, 00:16:38.23\00:16:39.63 no matter how ridiculous that it is, 00:16:39.66\00:16:42.16 that we should be able to draw from that and say, 00:16:42.20\00:16:44.27 "Look, the Bible say there's going to be 00:16:44.30\00:16:45.87 some odd things 00:16:45.90\00:16:47.24 that's going to take place before Jesus comes." 00:16:47.27\00:16:50.67 Now, when we see these odd things, 00:16:50.71\00:16:53.48 the strange things taking place, 00:16:53.51\00:16:55.41 don't tell me anybody here, don't you think, 00:16:55.44\00:16:57.11 somebody tell me there strange things 00:16:57.15\00:16:58.85 is taking place in this country. 00:16:58.88\00:17:00.38 If we can't say that, I'm just going to sit down, 00:17:00.42\00:17:02.05 I just might as well just sit down 00:17:02.08\00:17:03.59 if you can't see that 00:17:03.62\00:17:04.95 there're strange things taking place. 00:17:04.99\00:17:06.76 There's things that you say, 00:17:06.79\00:17:08.82 I be careful again, anybody should be able to see. 00:17:08.86\00:17:13.63 Anybody with any sense ought to be able to see 00:17:13.66\00:17:16.80 that things strange and unpredictable 00:17:16.83\00:17:19.73 are taking place, unpredictable people, 00:17:19.77\00:17:23.57 like their mind is gone, 00:17:23.61\00:17:26.01 that maybe the enemy has taken it over. 00:17:26.04\00:17:27.81 And you're trying to say a seven or eight year old 00:17:27.84\00:17:29.64 could look at it and say, "We need to go this direction." 00:17:29.68\00:17:32.35 I'm just, strange things that 00:17:32.38\00:17:34.82 we're told will take place in the Bible. 00:17:34.85\00:17:38.72 So what should I do when I see these things? 00:17:38.75\00:17:40.89 Sit down, be quiet, say nothing. 00:17:40.92\00:17:43.29 Great Controversy, again, 00:17:43.32\00:17:44.66 page 452 says this, we should do all in our power. 00:17:44.69\00:17:48.90 And I look at myself and I'd be thinking, 00:17:48.93\00:17:50.47 "Am I really doing all in my power to do 00:17:50.50\00:17:54.04 what God would have me to do right now?" 00:17:54.07\00:17:55.60 Some of us are not, 00:17:55.64\00:17:56.97 we're sitting back on a recliner, 00:17:57.01\00:17:58.34 we're doing nothing. 00:17:58.37\00:17:59.71 We agree that these things are taking place, 00:17:59.74\00:18:01.54 and we kind of believe it. 00:18:01.58\00:18:02.91 But we need to do all in our power 00:18:02.94\00:18:05.05 when we see, notice this, 00:18:05.08\00:18:06.61 that there are measures are being taken to restrict, 00:18:06.65\00:18:11.19 restrict what? 00:18:11.22\00:18:12.85 Liberty of conscience, our freedoms. 00:18:12.89\00:18:16.26 When we see these things taking place, 00:18:16.29\00:18:17.96 we need to do all that we can to, 00:18:17.99\00:18:20.90 right, fight against that. 00:18:20.93\00:18:24.83 Conscience. 00:18:24.87\00:18:26.23 I don't want somebody else to be my conscience. 00:18:26.27\00:18:30.21 If you let your conscience go, the devil is going to take it, 00:18:30.24\00:18:32.54 if you know what I mean. 00:18:32.57\00:18:33.91 Somebody is going to occupy your mind 00:18:33.94\00:18:36.14 and is today the way it always has been, 00:18:36.18\00:18:38.45 either the Holy Spirit occupies it 00:18:38.48\00:18:40.48 or the devil occupies it. 00:18:40.52\00:18:42.58 There's no two other ways around it. 00:18:42.62\00:18:43.95 If there's other way 00:18:43.99\00:18:45.32 I may try to get there, but there's not. 00:18:45.35\00:18:49.12 Jesus made it very simple 00:18:49.16\00:18:50.49 when He said He who is not with Me 00:18:50.53\00:18:53.60 is that makes you say that, 00:18:53.63\00:18:56.16 "Oh, well, these people here they're not really with this." 00:18:56.20\00:18:59.13 One way or the other, that's what the Bible said. 00:18:59.17\00:19:02.34 And so we need to follow what the Bible said, 00:19:02.37\00:19:04.21 because remember, the reformation said 00:19:04.24\00:19:05.81 we need to get back to what? 00:19:05.84\00:19:07.18 And we know this, the Bible and the Bible only or truths. 00:19:07.21\00:19:11.48 I've often said I don't care 00:19:11.51\00:19:12.85 where truth comes from as long as it's truth. 00:19:12.88\00:19:16.02 I'll try to laugh it up by the grace of God. 00:19:16.05\00:19:19.09 Truth is truth. 00:19:19.12\00:19:20.46 Truth is from God, there's no doubt about it. 00:19:20.49\00:19:23.89 When we see that our religious liberty 00:19:23.93\00:19:25.99 is being restricted, 00:19:26.03\00:19:27.60 we need to do something about it. 00:19:27.63\00:19:30.60 Many people won't understand this. 00:19:30.63\00:19:32.20 There's a book of Daniel Chapter 12, 00:19:32.23\00:19:33.67 somewhere around verse 10, somewhere around there says, 00:19:33.70\00:19:36.10 "The wicked will not understand." 00:19:36.14\00:19:38.37 No matter what you do, 00:19:38.41\00:19:39.74 no matter how you try to get this out, 00:19:39.77\00:19:41.11 the wicked is not going to understand 00:19:41.14\00:19:42.48 where you're coming from. 00:19:42.51\00:19:44.81 They don't want to understand where you're coming from. 00:19:44.85\00:19:46.61 But my Bible talks about here, 00:19:46.65\00:19:48.72 there's going to be those who will, but the wise will. 00:19:48.75\00:19:52.79 Right? The wise will. 00:19:52.82\00:19:54.16 How are you wise? 00:19:54.19\00:19:55.92 Because of the power of the Holy Spirit. 00:19:55.96\00:19:57.46 Holy Spirit is going to show 00:19:57.49\00:19:58.83 you these things that will take place. 00:19:58.86\00:20:00.53 God has promised you that 00:20:00.56\00:20:02.46 He'll bring no surprise right upon you. 00:20:02.50\00:20:04.77 He's going to warn you first of these things 00:20:04.80\00:20:06.50 that are happening. 00:20:06.53\00:20:09.34 And you say, "Well, you know, 00:20:09.37\00:20:10.71 I get tired of hearing about it." 00:20:10.74\00:20:12.07 Well, that's too bad. 00:20:12.11\00:20:15.64 Love you all. 00:20:15.68\00:20:18.35 Love and kisses, right? 00:20:18.38\00:20:19.71 Hugs. 00:20:19.75\00:20:21.82 People want to hear that, ain't that right? 00:20:21.85\00:20:24.02 If I didn't love and I didn't care, 00:20:24.05\00:20:25.65 I certainly find something else to talk about. 00:20:25.69\00:20:29.32 But I know we'll talk something we talk about, 00:20:29.36\00:20:31.69 we risk losing friends. 00:20:31.73\00:20:33.73 And people get angry 00:20:33.76\00:20:35.10 and they leave and they don't come back. 00:20:35.13\00:20:38.03 But there's something 00:20:38.07\00:20:39.40 and I believe that the Holy Spirit 00:20:39.43\00:20:40.77 impresses the mind 00:20:40.80\00:20:42.14 when you're praying about, God, what do the people need? 00:20:42.17\00:20:44.04 And what do I need? 00:20:44.07\00:20:46.07 I never pray for what does the people need 00:20:46.11\00:20:48.01 before I pray, what do I need? 00:20:48.04\00:20:50.68 I might help them 00:20:50.71\00:20:52.05 along their way in the same time 00:20:52.08\00:20:53.62 help me to find eternal life. 00:20:53.65\00:20:56.52 There's a little book 00:20:56.55\00:20:57.89 I've read a paragraph out of the light 00:20:57.92\00:20:59.32 called Mount of Blessings, page 33. 00:20:59.35\00:21:02.62 And this gives me encouragement 'cause it says 00:21:02.66\00:21:04.39 the minds of the people need to be agitated. 00:21:04.43\00:21:07.36 I've been called an agitator a lot of times, 00:21:07.40\00:21:10.30 and I'm getting where I kind of like it. 00:21:10.33\00:21:14.30 He's agitating. 00:21:14.34\00:21:16.04 You better, you know what? 00:21:16.07\00:21:17.41 You agitate somebody you're going to wake them up. 00:21:17.44\00:21:20.34 Ain't that right? 00:21:20.38\00:21:21.71 When you're just speaking smooth things 00:21:21.74\00:21:23.61 and patting them on the head and loving, 00:21:23.65\00:21:24.98 they all go to, everybody goes to sleep. 00:21:25.01\00:21:27.62 I'm not talking about in a bad way at all. 00:21:27.65\00:21:29.52 I'm talking about agitate the things 00:21:29.55\00:21:31.22 that are going on in the world. 00:21:31.25\00:21:32.82 Notice this, why? 00:21:32.85\00:21:34.56 Why do you think these things are going on like 00:21:34.59\00:21:36.16 they are in the world? 00:21:36.19\00:21:37.53 Because God's trying to get your attention and mine. 00:21:37.56\00:21:40.13 Let me finish reading this.

00:49:32.73\00:49:34.80 We're saying in this world and we take it to the courts 00:49:34.84\00:49:37.07 and those are supposed to be saying say, 00:49:37.11\00:49:38.57 "Well he felt like he was a girl today 00:49:38.61\00:49:40.34 so go on in there." 00:49:40.38\00:49:41.94 No. 00:49:41.98\00:49:46.01 Is that too much or I just leave it there, 00:49:46.05\00:49:47.38 you guys can't take it?

I'm serious about it. 00:49:50.15\00:49:53.56 How would you like it if you had 00:49:57.03\00:50:00.30 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 year old girls, 00:50:00.33\00:50:02.76 and they're in their girl PE class, 00:50:02.80\00:50:04.67 and here comes, 00:50:04.70\00:50:06.03 oh, Joe, because he feels a little feminine today. 00:50:06.07\00:50:10.24 I'll just join them. No, throw him out. 00:50:10.27\00:50:14.51 Yeah, he wouldn't even get close to the door 00:50:18.38\00:50:20.18 if I was there. 00:50:20.22\00:50:21.55 I know it's too much 00:50:24.49\00:50:25.82 you don't want to talk about it. 00:50:25.85\00:50:27.19 Still, what I'm saying 00:50:27.22\00:50:28.56 is this stuff is happening in our country. 00:50:28.59\00:50:32.83 And that's what we're totally saying would fall apart. 00:50:32.86\00:50:36.06 The men will no longer think properly anymore. 00:50:36.10\00:50:40.10 What's happened here in America, 00:50:40.14\00:50:42.20 a place that God has raised for religious freedom, 00:50:42.24\00:50:45.51 using Bible for the Word of God, 00:50:45.54\00:50:48.34 for the foundation? 00:50:48.38\00:50:52.35 Something we can find out that tells us what sin is. 00:50:52.38\00:50:56.42 Call sin by its right name without fear of retaliation. 00:50:56.45\00:51:02.29 In my own opinion, 00:51:02.32\00:51:03.66 I know when it started, it started 00:51:03.69\00:51:05.09 when they started taking the Ten Commandments 00:51:05.13\00:51:06.53 out of the schools. 00:51:06.56\00:51:07.90 I think it really started 00:51:07.93\00:51:09.26 when they begin to say you can't read 00:51:09.30\00:51:10.63 the Bible anymore in school, 00:51:10.67\00:51:12.00 you can't have any Bible studies in school. 00:51:12.03\00:51:13.47 We really don't want you even talking about Jesus at school. 00:51:13.50\00:51:15.87 And when they take prayer out of the school, 00:51:15.90\00:51:18.44 when you do all that, you've taken God out of it, 00:51:18.47\00:51:20.61 you've taken Him out of our country. 00:51:20.64\00:51:23.35 We pushed Him out, don't you think 00:51:23.38\00:51:24.71 He's going to say 00:51:24.75\00:51:26.08 one of these days, that's enough? 00:51:26.11\00:51:27.45 I mean, I really believe what, 00:51:27.48\00:51:28.82 how far can you, I don't wanna say it nice, 00:51:28.85\00:51:30.42 how far can you push God? 00:51:30.45\00:51:32.69 He allows us to push Him and push Him 00:51:32.72\00:51:35.69 because of His mercy and His grace. 00:51:35.72\00:51:37.23 But one of these days 00:51:37.26\00:51:38.59 He's going to stand up and say that's it. 00:51:38.63\00:51:40.43 He's going to say it one of these days, 00:51:40.46\00:51:41.90 and are we ready for that? 00:51:41.93\00:51:45.00 We're going to close here in a couple of minutes here. 00:51:45.03\00:51:46.57 I just want to try to read something here I wrote down 00:51:46.60\00:51:48.70 if that'll be good to think about. 00:51:48.74\00:51:53.24 Again we talked about our country 00:51:53.27\00:51:54.61 is going to repudiate you know, 00:51:54.64\00:51:56.41 every principle of its Constitution, 00:51:56.44\00:51:58.71 as a Protestant and Republican government, 00:51:58.75\00:52:02.18 Five Testimonies 9 says this, notice, 00:52:02.22\00:52:03.95 "Our ministers," 00:52:03.99\00:52:05.35 I'm picking on the ministers right now, 00:52:05.39\00:52:07.12 "are not doing their whole duty. 00:52:07.16\00:52:09.22 The attention of the people should be called to 00:52:09.26\00:52:11.86 the momentous events which is so," right? 00:52:11.89\00:52:15.96 Which is so near at hand. 00:52:16.00\00:52:18.83 The signs of the time should be kept fresh before their minds. 00:52:18.87\00:52:23.27 They will say, "Well, we don't want to hear." 00:52:23.30\00:52:24.64 It should be kept fresh before everybody's mind of 00:52:24.67\00:52:27.14 what we're living, 00:52:27.18\00:52:28.51 just as a reminder, this is not normal. 00:52:28.54\00:52:30.75 The Bible has condemned 00:52:30.78\00:52:32.11 this stuff as sin, all this lying. 00:52:32.15\00:52:33.52 You get on TV right now all you hear is Joe Blow lied, 00:52:33.55\00:52:36.12 and she lied, and he lied, and they lied on top of a lie. 00:52:36.15\00:52:39.45 And what are we supposed to believe? 00:52:39.49\00:52:42.19 Isaiah 26:21, as we close this. 00:52:42.22\00:52:46.06 Don't be surprised that these great decisive things, 00:52:46.09\00:52:49.30 and the last movements 00:52:49.33\00:52:50.67 will be rapid one so quick it will make your head swim. 00:52:50.70\00:52:53.87 Jesus said, "Behold, 00:52:53.90\00:52:55.90 the Lord cometh out of his place 00:52:55.94\00:52:58.27 to punish the inhabitants of the earth 00:52:58.31\00:53:01.24 for their iniquity. 00:53:01.28\00:53:03.04 The earth also shall disclose her blood, 00:53:03.08\00:53:07.05 and shall no more cover her slain." 00:53:07.08\00:53:10.22 Probation is closing 00:53:10.25\00:53:11.62 for the United States of America, 00:53:11.65\00:53:14.12 for the land of opportunity and free. 00:53:14.16\00:53:18.39 And if you lost sight of that today, 00:53:18.43\00:53:20.00 I pray by the grace of God 00:53:20.03\00:53:21.36 that you regain the sight to say, 00:53:21.40\00:53:23.60 "God is still with us." 00:53:23.63\00:53:25.67 We are willing to be obedient to 00:53:25.70\00:53:27.24 what He has said in His Word. 00:53:27.27\00:53:29.34 He says, "I will heal your backsliding." 00:53:29.37\00:53:33.04 I want to be healed. 00:53:33.07\00:53:34.81 If I've taken a step backwards, 00:53:34.84\00:53:36.18 I want to take two steps forward. 00:53:36.21\00:53:39.45 Because rulers and statesmen, 00:53:39.48\00:53:41.65 men who occupy positions of trust and authority, 00:53:41.68\00:53:45.25 have their attention fixed 00:53:45.29\00:53:46.62 upon the events taking place in our land. 00:53:46.65\00:53:49.39 They're watching the strange, 00:53:49.42\00:53:50.89 restless relations that exist among the nations. 00:53:50.93\00:53:54.46 The world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis. 00:53:54.50\00:53:59.10 Who's watching these things? 00:53:59.13\00:54:01.17 Our leaders are stating, 00:54:01.20\00:54:02.80 they know much better than you and I, 00:54:02.84\00:54:04.44 all the stuff is going on in the world today. 00:54:04.47\00:54:05.87 Their mind is like, "Oh, what are they going to do?" 00:54:05.91\00:54:08.44 I want to pray for those of you 00:54:08.48\00:54:09.81 who are at home as we close, 00:54:09.84\00:54:11.28 I want to pray for myself too, 00:54:11.31\00:54:12.65 I need wisdom, I need courage, 00:54:12.68\00:54:15.52 I need faith and strength to be able to endure. 00:54:15.55\00:54:19.45 Because many of these things, 00:54:19.49\00:54:20.82 we realize what they say, will come back to haunt you. 00:54:20.86\00:54:24.39 They will say, "He said, they said." 00:54:24.43\00:54:27.96 Do you see that in the news nowadays? 00:54:28.00\00:54:30.00 He said this before, two years ago he said this, 00:54:30.03\00:54:32.77 now he's saying this. 00:54:32.80\00:54:35.94 We have to believe in what 00:54:35.97\00:54:37.41 we're teaching and what we're preaching, 00:54:37.44\00:54:39.37 and back it up by the Word of God. 00:54:39.41\00:54:41.94 And I know you want to be ready for that day. 00:54:41.98\00:54:44.05 I want to be ready for that day. 00:54:44.08\00:54:47.28 Remember, we always say if you miss heaven, 00:54:47.32\00:54:48.72 you missed your reason for being here. 00:54:48.75\00:54:50.19 There's no reason to be here 00:54:50.22\00:54:51.55 if you're not going to repopulate heaven. 00:54:51.59\00:54:53.05 So make that decision for Him today. 00:54:53.09\00:54:54.46 Let's pray, shall we? 00:54:54.49\00:54:57.89 Loving Father in heaven, again, all we can do is say 00:54:57.93\00:55:01.06 thank You praise Your holy name. 00:55:01.10\00:55:03.00 Thank You that You're bringing 00:55:03.03\00:55:05.17 just little tidbits of all these things 00:55:05.20\00:55:07.34 that are happening in the world, 00:55:07.37\00:55:08.70 it's just too much. 00:55:08.74\00:55:10.07 Can't cover, take hours and hours and hours, 00:55:10.11\00:55:12.24 just to scrape through just a little bit. 00:55:12.27\00:55:14.91 Because You said the last movements 00:55:14.94\00:55:16.28 would be rapid ones 00:55:16.31\00:55:17.65 that happen so quick and so fast. 00:55:17.68\00:55:19.01 It's going to try to catch the people by surprise. 00:55:19.05\00:55:21.98 But, Lord, I pray through the power of thy Holy Spirit, 00:55:22.02\00:55:23.95 this group, and many other groups 00:55:23.99\00:55:25.89 around the world will not be caught by surprise. 00:55:25.92\00:55:28.36 They're going to be preparing based upon their study, 00:55:28.39\00:55:31.13 based upon what they're hearing, 00:55:31.16\00:55:32.49 based upon what they're seeing in the world, 00:55:32.53\00:55:35.13 that they need to be ready for the soon coming of Jesus. 00:55:35.16\00:55:39.00 We're in the judgment hour, it's soon to close. 00:55:39.03\00:55:42.74 Probation is going to close, 00:55:42.77\00:55:44.11 no one else will ever come to Jesus. 00:55:44.14\00:55:46.21 Then He's going to roar back and take His people home. 00:55:46.24\00:55:48.41 Help us to be ready for that great day in Jesus' name. 00:55:48.44\00:55:50.85 Amen. 00:55:50.88\00:55:52.85 Hello, and welcome back. 00:55:52.88\00:55:54.58 Praise God for His promises 00:55:54.62\00:55:56.52 such as one that is found in Amos 3:7, 00:55:56.55\00:56:00.49 where we can read that God will do nothing unless 00:56:00.52\00:56:03.19 He reveals it through His prophets first. 00:56:03.22\00:56:06.03 And I guarantee that most of us 00:56:06.06\00:56:08.60 are just simply not spending enough time 00:56:08.63\00:56:11.50 in the Word of God as we should. 00:56:11.53\00:56:13.47 I hope that this message will encourage you that 00:56:13.50\00:56:16.74 the indicators are proclaiming that 00:56:16.77\00:56:18.94 the time of Christ's second coming is at hand. 00:56:18.97\00:56:22.14 The pressure is increasing 00:56:22.18\00:56:24.15 upon the inhabitants of this world signaling. 00:56:24.18\00:56:27.72 It is signaling that 00:56:27.75\00:56:29.08 something major is about to happen. 00:56:29.12\00:56:31.65 So I want to encourage you 00:56:31.69\00:56:33.02 to spend more time in God's Word, 00:56:33.05\00:56:35.02 spend more time reading books such as this one,
