Hello and welcome back
to Behold the Lamb Presents.
00:00:38.73\00:00:41.30
I'm Chris Shelton your host,
00:00:41.34\00:00:42.67
I want to thank
you for joining us.
00:00:42.70\00:00:45.07
Having the Seal
of the Living God
00:00:45.11\00:00:47.74
is the title of
our message for today.
00:00:47.78\00:00:50.15
The definition of
the word seal here
00:00:50.18\00:00:53.18
is a device or a substance
00:00:53.21\00:00:55.82
that is used to
join two things together
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.35
so as to prevent
them from coming apart,
00:00:58.39\00:01:01.46
or prevent anything
from passing through them.
00:01:01.49\00:01:04.13
This definition
alone is exciting to me,
00:01:04.16\00:01:08.23
as I contemplate having
the seal of the living God.
00:01:08.26\00:01:11.97
Could it be that God
is joining Himself to us,
00:01:12.00\00:01:16.04
to prevent us by His strength,
00:01:16.07\00:01:18.74
His power, His leading, guiding,
00:01:18.77\00:01:21.28
and help to keep
us united with Him,
00:01:21.31\00:01:24.15
and to prevent
anything that would separate us
00:01:24.18\00:01:27.78
from Him from passing through?
00:01:27.82\00:01:30.19
Obtaining this
seal of the living God
00:01:30.22\00:01:32.42
is based upon our
choice to desire it,
00:01:32.45\00:01:35.19
and strive for it
through love and obedience
00:01:35.22\00:01:37.96
to the Word of God.
00:01:37.99\00:01:39.33
Revelation 9:4
00:01:39.36\00:01:41.56
speaks of this particular
sealing of God's people
00:01:41.60\00:01:44.50
in the last days.
00:01:44.53\00:01:45.87
It reads, "And it
was commanded them
00:01:45.90\00:01:49.74
that they should not
hurt the grass of the earth,
00:01:49.77\00:01:52.51
neither any green
thing, neither any tree,
00:01:52.54\00:01:56.41
but only those men
00:01:56.44\00:01:58.05
which have not the seal
of God in their foreheads."
00:01:58.08\00:02:02.28
Having the seal
of the living God.
00:02:02.32\00:02:04.62
What are the Bible requirements
00:02:04.65\00:02:06.99
for receiving this
seal in our foreheads?
00:02:07.02\00:02:09.36
How vitally
important is this seal?
00:02:09.39\00:02:12.69
Has God had other signs or seals
00:02:12.73\00:02:15.73
that He has used
in the past to signify
00:02:15.76\00:02:18.40
protection of His people?
00:02:18.43\00:02:20.27
And what about the
seven seals of Revelation?
00:02:20.30\00:02:23.34
What significance
00:02:23.37\00:02:24.74
might they have in
identifying the time
00:02:24.77\00:02:27.11
for the last
sealing of God's people?
00:02:27.14\00:02:30.35
This is a lot of information
to cover in the span of less
00:02:30.38\00:02:33.38
than one hour together today.
00:02:33.42\00:02:35.65
But by the grace of
God, these questions
00:02:35.68\00:02:38.59
and even more vital
information will be covered
00:02:38.62\00:02:41.42
as we study along with
Pastor Kenny Shelton today.
00:02:41.46\00:02:44.79
Before we begin our study,
00:02:44.83\00:02:46.70
let's visit 3ABN and listen
to a song that is entitled
00:02:46.73\00:02:50.40
If I Stand with Sandra Entermann
00:02:50.43\00:02:53.30
and friends.
00:02:53.34\00:02:54.67
There's more that
rises in the morning
00:03:04.48\00:03:07.45
Than the sun
00:03:07.48\00:03:09.38
More that shines in the night
00:03:09.42\00:03:11.85
Than just the moon
00:03:11.89\00:03:15.16
It's more than
just this fire here
00:03:15.19\00:03:17.63
That keeps me warm
00:03:17.66\00:03:20.03
In a shelter that is larger
00:03:20.06\00:03:22.33
Than this room
00:03:22.36\00:03:25.13
And there's a
loyalty that's deeper
00:03:25.17\00:03:27.54
Than mere sentiment
00:03:27.57\00:03:29.90
And a music
higher than the songs
00:03:29.94\00:03:32.67
That I can sing
00:03:32.71\00:03:36.41
Stuff of Earth competes
00:03:36.44\00:03:38.18
For the allegiance
00:03:38.21\00:03:40.65
I owe only to the Giver
00:03:40.68\00:03:43.12
Of all good things
00:03:43.15\00:03:45.72
So if I stand let
me stand on the promise
00:03:45.75\00:03:50.43
That you will pull me through
00:03:50.46\00:03:56.30
And if I can't let
me fall on the grace
00:03:56.33\00:04:00.44
That first brought me to You
00:04:00.47\00:04:06.68
And if I sing let
me sing for the joy
00:04:06.71\00:04:11.08
That has born in me these songs
00:04:11.11\00:04:17.09
And if I weep
let it be as a girl
00:04:17.12\00:04:21.19
Who is longing for her home
00:04:21.22\00:04:27.90
There's more that
dances on the prairies
00:04:27.93\00:04:30.80
Than the wind
00:04:30.83\00:04:32.57
And more that
pulses in the ocean
00:04:32.60\00:04:35.30
Than the tide
00:04:35.34\00:04:38.87
There's a love that is fiercer
00:04:38.91\00:04:40.81
Than the love between friends
00:04:40.84\00:04:43.48
More gentle than a mother's
00:04:43.51\00:04:46.08
When her baby's at her side
00:04:46.11\00:04:48.68
And there's a
loyalty that's deeper
00:04:48.72\00:04:50.99
Than mere sentiment
00:04:51.02\00:04:53.25
And a music
higher than the songs
00:04:53.29\00:04:56.06
That I can sing
00:04:56.09\00:04:59.93
The stuff of Earth competes
00:04:59.96\00:05:01.60
For the allegiance
00:05:01.63\00:05:04.07
I owe only to the Giver
00:05:04.10\00:05:06.57
Of all good things
00:05:06.60\00:05:09.20
So if I stand let
me stand on the promise
00:05:09.24\00:05:13.81
That you will pull me through
00:05:13.84\00:05:19.75
And if I can't
00:05:19.78\00:05:21.15
Let me fall on the grace
00:05:21.18\00:05:23.89
That first brought me to You
00:05:23.92\00:05:29.96
And if I sing let
me sing for the joy
00:05:29.99\00:05:34.50
That has born in me these songs
00:05:34.53\00:05:40.64
And if I weep
let it be as a girl
00:05:40.67\00:05:44.81
Who is longing for her home
00:05:44.84\00:05:51.15
And so if I stand let
me stand on the promise
00:05:51.18\00:05:56.15
That you will pull me through
00:05:56.18\00:06:02.66
And if I can't Let
me fall on the grace
00:06:02.69\00:06:07.10
That first brought me to You
00:06:07.13\00:06:13.47
And if I sing let
me sing for the joy
00:06:13.50\00:06:17.94
That has born in me these songs
00:06:17.97\00:06:24.05
And if I weep
let it be as a girl
00:06:24.08\00:06:28.32
Who is longing for her home
00:06:28.35\00:06:34.79
And if I weep
let it be as a girl
00:06:34.82\00:06:39.69
Who is longing for her home
00:06:39.73\00:06:45.70
Thank you for
joining us once again here
00:06:57.81\00:06:59.28
at Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:06:59.31\00:07:00.65
Again we want to say
how much we appreciate you.
00:07:00.68\00:07:02.85
We thank God for you every day.
00:07:02.88\00:07:04.49
We thank you for your cards,
your letters, your question,
00:07:04.52\00:07:07.09
your support of the Ministry
00:07:07.12\00:07:08.62
because we believe that
needs to go around the world.
00:07:08.66\00:07:12.19
That's exactly what Jesus said,
00:07:12.23\00:07:13.83
you don't want to keep
anything inside these walls.
00:07:13.86\00:07:16.56
So we believe in
filming them getting on 3ABN,
00:07:16.60\00:07:19.83
trying to reach as
many people as we can
00:07:19.87\00:07:22.14
with the message of
the soon coming of Jesus.
00:07:22.17\00:07:24.44
If we ever needed
to know what is truth,
00:07:24.47\00:07:27.18
if we ever needed to
know prophecy, it is now.
00:07:27.21\00:07:30.85
It's being revealed
before our very eyes, our ears,
00:07:30.88\00:07:33.85
our lives, every day we see
00:07:33.88\00:07:36.08
there're signs of
the coming of Jesus.
00:07:36.12\00:07:39.55
And those who don't want
to see and don't want to hear,
00:07:39.59\00:07:41.86
you're not going to see
and you're not going to hear.
00:07:41.89\00:07:43.49
But if you're praying,
00:07:43.53\00:07:44.86
the Holy Spirit
will enlighten you,
00:07:44.89\00:07:46.96
enlighten me of these
things before they happen
00:07:47.00\00:07:50.47
so that we're not
caught off surprise.
00:07:50.50\00:07:52.03
Today we're going
to be talking about
00:07:52.07\00:07:53.40
a subject that's very important,
00:07:53.44\00:07:54.77
having the seal
of the living God.
00:07:54.80\00:07:57.41
What does that mean?
00:07:57.44\00:07:58.77
Well, we're going to
get into the Word of God.
00:07:58.81\00:08:00.58
And after we have
prayer once again,
00:08:00.61\00:08:02.98
and we're going to
ask the Holy Spirit
00:08:03.01\00:08:04.35
to take possession
of each of our hearts
00:08:04.38\00:08:05.71
and lives.
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.08
And certainly my
mind and my heart
00:08:07.12\00:08:08.65
that I may be what Jesus
would have me to be today.
00:08:08.68\00:08:11.05
I'm going to
kneel up here and pray.
00:08:11.09\00:08:12.89
And you can kneel
00:08:12.92\00:08:14.26
or you can just pray
along with me please.
00:08:14.29\00:08:17.43
Loving Father in
heaven, once again,
00:08:17.46\00:08:18.89
I want to commit myself
into Thy care and Thy keeping.
00:08:18.93\00:08:21.86
Thank You for that promise
that You would be with us
00:08:21.90\00:08:24.50
that Your Holy
Spirit would be present,
00:08:24.53\00:08:26.57
that You'd speak words of
life and words of encouragement,
00:08:26.60\00:08:28.77
words of truth.
00:08:28.80\00:08:30.14
May we hear them today
00:08:30.17\00:08:31.51
and we thank
You that You love us
00:08:31.54\00:08:32.87
with an everlasting love.
00:08:32.91\00:08:34.24
I ask that You
forgive me of any sin,
00:08:34.28\00:08:35.91
anything in my heart and
life that needs not be there.
00:08:35.94\00:08:38.55
Oh, Lord, I need
to hear from heaven.
00:08:38.58\00:08:40.42
Your children need to
hear from heaven today.
00:08:40.45\00:08:42.72
And may we be
blessed by the truth
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.85
that You present
today in Jesus' name.
00:08:44.89\00:08:46.65
Amen.
00:08:46.69\00:08:49.36
Again, I invite
those who are home be sure
00:08:49.39\00:08:50.93
to get your pencil and paper out
00:08:50.96\00:08:52.29
and get your Bibles out
and check some of these things
00:08:52.33\00:08:54.83
that we're going to
be talking about today.
00:08:54.86\00:08:56.56
If you've never
been through the study,
00:08:56.60\00:08:58.03
you might be a
little bit shocked
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.40
and maybe you might
get some goosebumps,
00:08:59.43\00:09:00.94
maybe you might
want to throw something,
00:09:00.97\00:09:02.34
please don't do
that because it's new.
00:09:02.37\00:09:05.14
It's new to some people.
00:09:05.17\00:09:06.51
So you have to put yourself
00:09:06.54\00:09:07.88
in that maybe the shoes of those
00:09:07.91\00:09:09.24
who maybe have never heard it.
00:09:09.28\00:09:10.61
And so it might
be a little shocking,
00:09:10.65\00:09:11.98
but check it
with the Word of God.
00:09:12.01\00:09:14.12
Turn with me to
Revelation Chapter 7,
00:09:14.15\00:09:16.18
I'm going to read
verses 1 through 3.
00:09:16.22\00:09:17.92
Revelation 7:1-3.
00:09:17.95\00:09:21.06
Now, remember the
Book of Revelation,
00:09:21.09\00:09:22.99
remember, people say
stay out of the book.
00:09:23.02\00:09:25.06
They're wrong
when they say that.
00:09:25.09\00:09:26.83
Can I be that bold?
00:09:26.86\00:09:28.76
They're wrong when they
say stay out of Revelation.
00:09:28.80\00:09:31.33
The reason they say is
because the devil is behind it.
00:09:31.37\00:09:33.70
He's saying it
00:09:33.74\00:09:35.07
because
Revelation Chapter 1 it says,
00:09:35.10\00:09:36.74
Revelation is a
revealing of what?
00:09:36.77\00:09:39.67
Of Jesus Christ and those things
00:09:39.71\00:09:41.51
that are
shortly to come to pass.
00:09:41.54\00:09:43.55
So devil says, I
don't want Jesus revealed.
00:09:43.58\00:09:46.72
I don't want you to know things
00:09:46.75\00:09:48.08
are shortly
going to come to pass.
00:09:48.12\00:09:49.75
But I believe by the Word of God
00:09:49.78\00:09:51.75
and His promises
00:09:51.79\00:09:53.12
that He's made to us.
00:09:53.15\00:09:54.49
He's going to
reveal these things to us.
00:09:54.52\00:09:55.92
And we're going to...
00:09:55.96\00:09:57.29
We're going to be
talking about the man
00:09:57.33\00:09:58.66
having the seal
of the living God,
00:09:58.69\00:10:00.03
what does that mean?
00:10:00.06\00:10:01.40
Revelation Chapter 7,
00:10:01.43\00:10:02.76
we're going to
begin with verse 1,
00:10:02.80\00:10:04.50
and 1 through 3.
00:10:04.53\00:10:05.87
There are some who maybe
have never read this before,
00:10:05.90\00:10:07.84
I encourage you to read
it now, contemplate on it,
00:10:07.87\00:10:10.24
and think on it.
00:10:10.27\00:10:11.61
Bible says, "And
after these things,
00:10:11.64\00:10:13.21
I saw a four," what?
00:10:13.24\00:10:15.34
"Angels standing
on the four corners
00:10:15.38\00:10:17.45
of the earth,
00:10:17.48\00:10:18.81
holding the four
winds of the earth,
00:10:18.85\00:10:21.02
that the wind should
not blow on the earth,
00:10:21.05\00:10:23.62
nor the sea, nor on any tree."
00:10:23.65\00:10:27.09
Remember, Revelation
is a book of symbols,
00:10:27.12\00:10:29.42
isn't that right?
00:10:29.46\00:10:30.79
And we have to let
the Bible interpret itself
00:10:30.83\00:10:32.36
rather than say, I think
00:10:32.39\00:10:34.66
they're things like,
00:10:34.70\00:10:36.03
you don't have to do that
00:10:36.06\00:10:37.40
God's not what
He wants you to dig
00:10:37.43\00:10:38.77
into the Word of God here.
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.67
Verse 2, "I saw another
angel," notice another angel,
00:10:40.70\00:10:43.71
"ascending from the east,
00:10:43.74\00:10:45.24
having the seal
of the living God."
00:10:45.27\00:10:47.68
Somebody needs to pay attention.
00:10:47.71\00:10:50.35
There's an angel that's
coming from God that says,
00:10:50.38\00:10:52.68
he has the seal
of the living God.
00:10:52.71\00:10:55.32
What does that mean?
00:10:55.35\00:10:56.69
It must be important
if it's coming from God,
00:10:56.72\00:10:58.42
isn't that right?
00:10:58.45\00:11:00.12
And notice, "He
cried with a loud voice
00:11:00.16\00:11:01.92
to the four angels,
00:11:01.96\00:11:03.29
to whom was given
to hurt the earth,
00:11:03.32\00:11:05.66
and, notice, and the sea."
00:11:05.69\00:11:07.86
And he says, verse 3,
"Saying, hurt not the earth,
00:11:07.90\00:11:11.30
neither the sea, nor the
trees, till we have done," what?
00:11:11.33\00:11:14.84
"Sealed the servants of
our God in their foreheads."
00:11:14.87\00:11:19.57
Very interesting and
certainly it goes on,
00:11:19.61\00:11:21.28
it talks about the
144,000 so on so forth,
00:11:21.31\00:11:23.91
which is another
subject within itself.
00:11:23.95\00:11:27.15
We start out here with
there's the four angels
00:11:27.18\00:11:29.65
the Bible says here.
00:11:29.68\00:11:31.09
What are they doing?
00:11:31.12\00:11:32.45
They're holding
back the forces of evil
00:11:32.49\00:11:35.82
until God's people are
sealed in their foreheads.
00:11:35.86\00:11:40.10
So remember, they're
holding back right now,
00:11:40.13\00:11:42.43
that just simply says,
00:11:42.46\00:11:43.80
you look at the four
corners of the earth,
00:11:43.83\00:11:45.17
you look at the compass
00:11:45.20\00:11:46.53
in north, south, east, and west,
00:11:46.57\00:11:47.90
God's saying, the
whole world is involved here,
00:11:47.94\00:11:50.34
and He's in charge.
00:11:50.37\00:11:52.54
And He's saying, right
now, you can't hurt the earth.
00:11:52.57\00:11:54.88
You can't finish
this, you can't finish off
00:11:54.91\00:11:57.15
until God has
sealed His servants
00:11:57.18\00:11:59.45
in their foreheads,
00:11:59.48\00:12:01.58
four winds, four destructive,
00:12:01.62\00:12:03.85
notice this, destructive
forces there in verse 3,
00:12:03.89\00:12:07.19
we can see that.
00:12:07.22\00:12:08.56
Hurt not the earth
00:12:08.59\00:12:10.19
till the work is done.
00:12:10.23\00:12:14.56
What does that mean?
00:12:14.60\00:12:16.36
How deep does this really go?
00:12:16.40\00:12:18.33
Really, if you're
looking for parallels,
00:12:18.37\00:12:20.00
and many of you are,
00:12:20.04\00:12:21.37
you know, in the
Bible, you can go Daniel 7:2
00:12:21.40\00:12:24.24
and when you have time read that
00:12:24.27\00:12:25.84
because you have forces
there that are striving,
00:12:25.87\00:12:29.41
the great nations
would rise out of strife,
00:12:29.44\00:12:32.85
or the wind's
blowing upon the sea,
00:12:32.88\00:12:34.92
that'd be another
nation that would come up,
00:12:34.95\00:12:36.35
another nation.
00:12:36.38\00:12:38.22
But notice here, it says here,
Great Controversy in 614 says,
00:12:38.25\00:12:41.89
"The whole world is
going to be involved,
00:12:41.92\00:12:44.39
notice this, and there's
going to be a time of trouble,
00:12:44.43\00:12:46.80
notice this, that
comes upon the earth
00:12:46.83\00:12:49.06
that's worse than the
destruction of Jerusalem
00:12:49.10\00:12:51.10
in AD 70.
00:12:51.13\00:12:53.54
That's hard for us to imagine.
00:12:53.57\00:12:55.27
And many people have not studied
00:12:55.30\00:12:57.17
to see what took place
00:12:57.21\00:12:58.64
in the destruction
of Jerusalem in AD 70,
00:12:58.67\00:13:01.28
where it got so
bad that mothers boiled
00:13:01.31\00:13:03.11
and ate their own children.
00:13:03.14\00:13:04.58
Is somebody with me?
00:13:04.61\00:13:05.95
See, that's something we
don't want to think about.
00:13:05.98\00:13:07.52
We think it's
not going to happen.
00:13:07.55\00:13:08.95
God says it's going to happen.
00:13:08.98\00:13:10.82
So we need some
kind of experience,
00:13:10.85\00:13:12.85
maybe that we
don't have right now.
00:13:12.89\00:13:14.69
Because with what little
bit, I know, it's horrible.
00:13:14.72\00:13:17.66
Those of COVID
different things are going on.
00:13:17.69\00:13:20.26
But we're just
beginning I believe,
00:13:20.30\00:13:22.46
we're beginning that
little time of trouble
00:13:22.50\00:13:24.93
that will increase to
the big time of trouble.
00:13:24.97\00:13:28.74
Do we have a
connection with God,
00:13:28.77\00:13:31.27
that we can stand through
this by His grace and strength?
00:13:31.31\00:13:34.01
If not, we need to.
00:13:34.04\00:13:36.14
John the Revelator
said, I saw another angel.
00:13:36.18\00:13:38.75
Wow.
00:13:38.78\00:13:40.12
And this angel
came from the east,
00:13:40.15\00:13:41.55
do you notice that significance,
00:13:41.58\00:13:43.65
he having the
seal of the living God.
00:13:43.69\00:13:45.89
If there's an angel from heaven
00:13:45.92\00:13:47.26
coming and have a
seal of the living God,
00:13:47.29\00:13:48.99
I want to be first in line,
00:13:49.02\00:13:50.56
little bit selfish maybe.
00:13:50.59\00:13:52.23
I want to be in that line.
00:13:52.26\00:13:53.90
Because I'm
telling you right now,
00:13:53.93\00:13:55.26
there are only
two classes of people,
00:13:55.30\00:13:56.80
you've heard
that all of your life,
00:13:56.83\00:13:58.30
the saved and the lost, right?
00:13:58.33\00:13:59.67
Good and evil.
00:13:59.70\00:14:01.04
And here you have the
seal of the living God
00:14:01.07\00:14:04.61
against as it were
the mark of the beast.
00:14:04.64\00:14:07.18
Did you get it?
00:14:07.21\00:14:08.54
You're either, you're
going to have one or the other,
00:14:08.58\00:14:10.31
you choose what
it's going to be.
00:14:10.35\00:14:11.88
You're going to have
the mark of the beast,
00:14:11.91\00:14:13.72
and that's the
third angel's message.
00:14:13.75\00:14:15.32
That's the wrath of God
is going to fall on you,
00:14:15.35\00:14:17.22
right, without
any kind of mercy.
00:14:17.25\00:14:19.09
We don't want that,
we're going to be lost.
00:14:19.12\00:14:20.86
We don't want that.
00:14:20.89\00:14:22.22
I'm interested
in the seal of God.
00:14:22.26\00:14:24.36
I'm interested in
the approval of God.
00:14:24.39\00:14:27.23
And I'm not really interested
in the approval of men
00:14:27.26\00:14:29.36
to be honest because usually,
00:14:29.40\00:14:30.73
they give you a bad deal.
00:14:30.77\00:14:33.54
Not always, but
sometimes you get a rough deal
00:14:33.57\00:14:35.47
from even your
fellow brother and sister.
00:14:35.50\00:14:38.31
Maybe I'll just leave it
there, you've got the point.
00:14:38.34\00:14:42.11
In ancient times, you know
when you talked about direction
00:14:42.14\00:14:45.05
is very important.
00:14:45.08\00:14:46.41
When anyone gave
directions in ancient times,
00:14:46.45\00:14:48.52
you know what they did?
00:14:48.55\00:14:49.88
They always
stood facing the east
00:14:49.92\00:14:52.42
and then they went from there.
00:14:52.45\00:14:54.52
So there's something
important about that.
00:14:54.56\00:14:56.93
Maybe an example,
00:14:56.96\00:14:58.29
give you a quick
example in Ezekiel.
00:14:58.33\00:14:59.86
You remember Ezekiel?
00:14:59.89\00:15:01.80
He saw the glory of
God coming from the east.
00:15:01.83\00:15:05.10
Interesting what he saw there.
00:15:05.13\00:15:07.10
Ezekiel 43, just
read the whole chapter
00:15:07.14\00:15:09.17
when you have time.
00:15:09.20\00:15:10.54
Matthew 24, I think
it's about verse 30,
00:15:10.57\00:15:13.54
you see that the sign of
Jesus will appear in the east.
00:15:13.58\00:15:17.35
There's something
about all of this.
00:15:17.38\00:15:19.98
This angel came from the east
00:15:20.02\00:15:21.88
from the throne
of God, notice this.
00:15:21.92\00:15:25.32
And, of course, Revelation 7:1
00:15:25.35\00:15:26.76
that we read tells
of a sealing process.
00:15:26.79\00:15:30.13
Many people go
00:15:30.16\00:15:31.49
in a lot of
different directions.
00:15:31.53\00:15:32.86
But let's go in the direction
00:15:32.89\00:15:34.23
that the Bible
tells us to go in,
00:15:34.26\00:15:36.43
not what someone
else wants it to be,
00:15:36.46\00:15:39.40
but what God says that it is.
00:15:39.43\00:15:42.90
God is preparing
a people to stand
00:15:42.94\00:15:46.34
in this fearful
and stressful time.
00:15:46.37\00:15:49.98
Even right now,
it's stressful, isn't it?
00:15:50.01\00:15:53.95
Times at, oh,
it's not stressful,
00:15:53.98\00:15:56.72
somebody is lying.
00:15:56.75\00:16:00.26
Even as a Christian,
00:16:00.29\00:16:01.62
you still have to look at it
00:16:01.66\00:16:02.99
because of what's
coming in this world.
00:16:03.02\00:16:04.66
What's happening right now,
00:16:04.69\00:16:06.06
because many people
are not ready for it.
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.40
And if you love them,
00:16:08.43\00:16:09.76
you might be
stressed just a little bit
00:16:09.80\00:16:11.17
even though you
cast your cares on Him
00:16:11.20\00:16:13.80
because He cares for us.
00:16:13.84\00:16:15.40
But still, you
think in your heart
00:16:15.44\00:16:17.27
you love these individuals,
00:16:17.31\00:16:18.64
you hate to see them go through
00:16:18.67\00:16:20.01
what they're going through.
00:16:20.04\00:16:21.51
Even the people of
God, a sealing process,
00:16:21.54\00:16:26.82
standing in a stressful
time just before Jesus comes.
00:16:26.85\00:16:31.79
Now in ancient
times, we need to look at
00:16:31.82\00:16:33.72
where this was written a seal.
00:16:33.76\00:16:36.66
It was simply to
testify of ownership.
00:16:36.69\00:16:40.56
Interesting. A
seal testified of what?
00:16:40.60\00:16:43.77
Good, of ownership.
00:16:43.80\00:16:45.63
The seal of God then
placed on the forehead
00:16:45.67\00:16:48.64
of the people testified
00:16:48.67\00:16:50.67
that he
recognizes them as his own.
00:16:50.71\00:16:54.18
That makes sense.
00:16:54.21\00:16:55.54
God's gonna have to
recognize us as His own
00:16:55.58\00:16:57.05
before He opens the
gates and says come on in.
00:16:57.08\00:16:59.98
He's not going to allow
00:17:00.02\00:17:01.35
something to come
into the gates of the city
00:17:01.38\00:17:03.15
that's going to,
right, tear the city apart.
00:17:03.18\00:17:05.59
He's not going to let
sin enter there again.
00:17:05.62\00:17:09.16
So God places the
seal of His people.
00:17:09.19\00:17:12.79
2 Timothy talks about
that, 2:19, just jot that down.
00:17:12.83\00:17:16.77
2 Timothy 2:19.
00:17:16.80\00:17:18.70
I like the way it starts out.
00:17:18.73\00:17:20.07
He said the
foundation of God standeth sure.
00:17:20.10\00:17:23.81
Did you get it?
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.17
The foundation of God does what?
00:17:25.21\00:17:27.28
Stand sure.
00:17:27.31\00:17:28.64
We don't need to be blown
about by every wind of doctrine.
00:17:28.68\00:17:31.35
Some people are blown around
because that's all they do
00:17:31.38\00:17:33.55
is just blow around.
00:17:33.58\00:17:36.35
Somebody, didn't
make sense to you, did it?
00:17:36.38\00:17:39.02
We're always in everything
except the Word of God.
00:17:39.05\00:17:41.49
We're worried about
what Joe says over here
00:17:41.52\00:17:43.19
and what Sally says.
00:17:43.22\00:17:44.56
I hope there's no Joe and Sally,
00:17:44.59\00:17:45.93
but they're always worried
00:17:45.96\00:17:47.66
and they're taking
somebody off the street.
00:17:47.70\00:17:50.80
They'd rather listen to them
00:17:50.83\00:17:52.17
that they had
read the Word of God
00:17:52.20\00:17:53.54
and let the Word of
God tell them what it is.
00:17:53.57\00:17:54.90
And then what?
00:17:54.94\00:17:56.27
If they're not to
have that sure foundation,
00:17:56.30\00:17:57.94
they're going to
be all messed up.
00:17:57.97\00:18:00.78
We have to have
that sure foundation,
00:18:00.81\00:18:03.51
having the seal.
00:18:03.55\00:18:04.98
2 Timothy 2:19 says
00:18:05.01\00:18:07.08
the seal of the
Lord, notice this.
00:18:07.12\00:18:09.18
And it says He
knoweth who we belong to.
00:18:12.19\00:18:17.59
We belong to Him, hopefully.
00:18:17.63\00:18:21.03
So we look at this sign,
00:18:21.06\00:18:22.43
this seal of God's
people in the last days,
00:18:22.46\00:18:25.17
and maybe this would
teach us some things.
00:18:25.20\00:18:28.94
Because in the church sometimes
we kind of believe that,
00:18:28.97\00:18:32.71
you know, if
we're in good standing,
00:18:32.74\00:18:34.68
and we go to
church all the time,
00:18:34.71\00:18:36.68
and we do some
of the right things,
00:18:36.71\00:18:38.88
you know, we're going to receive
00:18:38.91\00:18:40.25
the seal of the living God.
00:18:40.28\00:18:42.78
That's kind of interesting.
00:18:42.82\00:18:44.62
Not everybody
that's in good standing
00:18:44.65\00:18:46.89
in an earthly church
00:18:46.92\00:18:48.26
is going to make it to heaven.
00:18:48.29\00:18:51.99
So why is this
subject so important?
00:18:52.03\00:18:54.83
Why is it life and death issue?
00:18:54.86\00:18:57.00
Remember, the Bible says
so, because it's God's approval
00:18:57.03\00:19:01.04
or if you're going to be
on God's side or the enemy?
00:19:01.07\00:19:05.81
Because
eternity depends upon it.
00:19:05.84\00:19:09.21
Eternity depends upon the choice
00:19:09.24\00:19:11.31
and decision you make,
00:19:11.35\00:19:12.68
or I make right now.
00:19:12.71\00:19:14.05
And I just want to be
just real plain and simple,
00:19:14.08\00:19:15.88
so we're not confused.
00:19:15.92\00:19:19.05
No one, no exceptions to
the rule will enter heaven
00:19:19.09\00:19:24.06
who does not
bear the sign of God.
00:19:24.09\00:19:27.80
No one, not trying to
be smart or ugly about it,
00:19:27.83\00:19:31.30
but I've
challenged your thinking.
00:19:31.33\00:19:33.20
No one will enter heaven
that does not have the sign
00:19:33.23\00:19:37.91
or seal of God.
00:19:37.94\00:19:39.94
Interesting.
00:19:39.97\00:19:41.31
As many say it's
an outward thing.
00:19:41.34\00:19:43.08
We're all going to see it
people are going to read that,
00:19:43.11\00:19:44.65
blah-blah-blah.
00:19:44.68\00:19:46.01
Is that really
what it's all about?
00:19:46.05\00:19:48.68
I found a little article
in little Review and Herald,
00:19:48.72\00:19:50.52
little magazine said this.
00:19:50.55\00:19:52.39
"The seal of the living God
will be placed upon those only
00:19:52.42\00:19:56.02
who bear the likeness
to Christ in character."
00:19:56.06\00:20:00.43
Did somebody get it?
00:20:00.46\00:20:03.43
The seal of God will be
placed upon those who what?
00:20:03.47\00:20:07.10
Bear a likeness to
Christ's character.
00:20:07.14\00:20:11.41
As I grew up all the time,
I always heard all the time.
00:20:11.44\00:20:13.48
They say, oh, he's
quite the character.
00:20:13.51\00:20:17.18
He's quite the character.
00:20:17.21\00:20:19.25
That didn't
always mean it was good.
00:20:19.28\00:20:21.48
He was quite the character.
00:20:21.52\00:20:22.85
That means that's what he did.
00:20:22.88\00:20:24.39
It was his life.
That's what he said.
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.39
That's what he did.
00:20:26.42\00:20:27.76
That's what that's who he was.
00:20:27.79\00:20:29.46
That's his character.
00:20:29.49\00:20:31.03
But our character
must be like Jesus.
00:20:31.06\00:20:33.83
Man, we can't do it on our own.
00:20:33.86\00:20:36.06
Man, we need
some help, do we not?
00:20:36.10\00:20:38.53
We're failures, the Bible said,
00:20:38.57\00:20:39.97
we've all sinned and come
short of the glory of God.
00:20:40.00\00:20:42.54
So if anybody
sitting on a high horse,
00:20:42.57\00:20:44.71
I encourage you
to get off of it.
00:20:44.74\00:20:47.74
Isn't that right?
00:20:47.78\00:20:49.11
There's no one in here
any better than anybody else,
00:20:49.14\00:20:52.31
because we've all
sinned and come short.
00:20:52.35\00:20:54.28
I don't care what
you're doing right now
00:20:54.32\00:20:55.78
or what's happening
in your life or my life,
00:20:55.82\00:20:57.85
whatever it might be.
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.22
We are a sinner, and we
are in need of a Savior.
00:20:59.25\00:21:02.56
We're in need of the
seal of the living God,
00:21:02.59\00:21:04.96
but He won't place it on us
00:21:04.99\00:21:07.13
until our character
is what it should be.
00:21:07.16\00:21:10.70
Does that make sense?
00:21:10.73\00:21:12.07
He won't place it on us.
00:21:12.10\00:21:13.44
He's not trying to
hide and cover-up sin,
00:21:13.47\00:21:15.30
He won't do it.
00:21:15.34\00:21:17.54
Seal of God, man.
00:21:17.57\00:21:20.84
My opinion and I always
say throw it out if you want to
00:21:20.88\00:21:23.61
or throw it back
or throw it around,
00:21:23.65\00:21:24.98
do whatever you want to do
00:21:25.01\00:21:26.35
but I think right here
00:21:26.38\00:21:27.72
many professing Christians today
00:21:27.75\00:21:30.19
is going to be
disappointed in the day of God.
00:21:30.22\00:21:34.59
Now, why do I say that?
00:21:34.62\00:21:37.06
Well, simply because
they do not have the seal.
00:21:37.09\00:21:39.63
They're not really
finding out searching
00:21:39.66\00:21:41.60
what the seal of God is.
00:21:41.63\00:21:43.80
They really
don't care about truth.
00:21:43.83\00:21:45.50
They simply said, oh...
00:21:45.53\00:21:46.90
Heard people
say, just only believe
00:21:46.94\00:21:48.27
that's all you got to do.
00:21:48.30\00:21:49.64
Believe is an action word.
00:21:49.67\00:21:51.81
Does that make sense?
00:21:51.84\00:21:54.54
It's more than talk.
00:21:54.58\00:21:56.68
Well, I heard God say, well,
00:21:56.71\00:21:58.65
I believe
there's a higher power.
00:21:58.68\00:22:00.08
Well, Me and Him
have good talks together.
00:22:00.12\00:22:01.78
How wonderful that is.
00:22:01.82\00:22:05.82
We all have talks together.
00:22:05.85\00:22:07.39
It takes more than that.
00:22:07.42\00:22:09.99
I've mentioned one
time before the man said
00:22:10.03\00:22:11.79
and he said honestly.
00:22:11.83\00:22:14.40
He said, God and I have.
00:22:14.43\00:22:18.40
Think about it.
00:22:18.43\00:22:19.77
He puts His understanding
what he wants right here
00:22:19.80\00:22:21.87
in His Word, doesn't He?
00:22:21.90\00:22:23.24
He was trying to say, man,
00:22:23.27\00:22:24.61
God's bickered and
talked a little bit
00:22:24.64\00:22:25.97
and we've worked out a deal.
00:22:26.01\00:22:27.48
No.
00:22:27.51\00:22:29.14
So then we look at
what the seal of God,
00:22:29.18\00:22:30.88
the mark stands for
character qualifications.
00:22:30.91\00:22:34.98
How is your character?
00:22:35.02\00:22:36.35
How's my
character? How's my life?
00:22:36.38\00:22:37.89
How am I responding to
everyday stress and things
00:22:37.92\00:22:40.22
that are going on in the world?
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.59
Am I a Christian one
moment and a non-Christian
00:22:41.62\00:22:43.83
as it were the next?
00:22:43.86\00:22:45.49
Am I like who I'm with
the crowd that I'm with
00:22:45.53\00:22:50.70
or am I consistent to be
what Jesus wants me to be?
00:22:50.73\00:22:54.74
Remember, the seal we talk about
00:22:54.77\00:22:56.97
placed upon God's faithful.
00:22:57.01\00:22:59.04
Listen carefully, we try to go
with is the pure mark of truth.
00:22:59.07\00:23:03.98
This is part of
the pure mark of truth.
00:23:04.01\00:23:08.35
So it has to do
something with truth.
00:23:08.38\00:23:10.29
John 17:17 says,
"Sanctify them through," what?
00:23:10.32\00:23:14.49
"Thy word, thy
truth, thy word is," what?
00:23:14.52\00:23:17.86
"Thy word is truth."
00:23:17.89\00:23:19.73
Sanctification or
preparation for heaven
00:23:19.76\00:23:22.43
comes by knowing
what is truth, not a lie.
00:23:22.46\00:23:27.07
Not it doesn't
make any difference.
00:23:27.10\00:23:28.57
Tell me, you say, oh, it
doesn't make any difference.
00:23:28.60\00:23:30.17
We're all trying to
get to the same place
00:23:30.21\00:23:31.74
where everybody is
going a different way.
00:23:31.77\00:23:34.64
There's only one way
00:23:34.68\00:23:36.01
based on the Word
of God, it's His way.
00:23:36.04\00:23:38.38
I want that to make sense.
00:23:38.41\00:23:39.78
It's not our way, we
don't negotiate with God.
00:23:39.81\00:23:42.42
God says this is the way it is.
00:23:42.45\00:23:43.92
He certainly
have made a covenant
00:23:43.95\00:23:45.75
and promises with us.
00:23:45.79\00:23:47.12
But He says it
takes two to work it out.
00:23:47.16\00:23:49.46
We just have to be
obedient to what God says.
00:23:49.49\00:23:51.63
You want to come up to heaven,
then there are some things,
00:23:51.66\00:23:54.36
right, that we need
to get squared away here.
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.97
Mark of truth.
00:23:58.00\00:23:59.70
God's seal has
three things in it, right?
00:23:59.73\00:24:03.34
Three things in his seal.
00:24:03.37\00:24:05.61
Now, think about
it just for a moment.
00:24:05.64\00:24:08.14
It's
interesting that the Sabbath
00:24:08.18\00:24:09.71
or the fourth commandment
00:24:09.74\00:24:11.21
has these three things in it.
00:24:11.25\00:24:13.95
It tells who God is.
00:24:13.98\00:24:16.28
It tells His ownership.
00:24:16.32\00:24:18.09
Just for instance, let
me give you this example.
00:24:18.12\00:24:21.62
President of the
United States seal,
00:24:21.66\00:24:23.76
what does it have?
00:24:23.79\00:24:25.13
Three things in it.
00:24:25.16\00:24:26.49
It has the name.
00:24:26.53\00:24:27.86
It has the title
and the territory.
00:24:27.90\00:24:31.40
God, Creator,
heaven, and earth, president.
00:24:31.43\00:24:36.71
All right, so it says
could President Biden,
00:24:36.74\00:24:40.24
okay, it just,
it brought silence,
00:24:40.28\00:24:42.44
but no, President Biden,
00:24:42.48\00:24:44.88
it's what it
said and what is it?
00:24:44.91\00:24:46.51
Biden, President
United States of America.
00:24:46.55\00:24:49.95
So it has to have, God's
seal has to have that in it.
00:24:49.98\00:24:53.46
You know, the kings all
did they seal it with a seal,
00:24:53.49\00:24:56.76
saying it's authentic.
00:24:56.79\00:24:59.46
Maybe we need that
too, don't you think?
00:24:59.49\00:25:02.86
Now, remember, if you
look at Ephesians Chapter 5,
00:25:02.90\00:25:05.37
just jot it down 27.
00:25:05.40\00:25:07.70
Five Testimonies 214, it
says, notice the church says,
00:25:07.74\00:25:10.87
he's coming after
church without what?
00:25:10.91\00:25:13.78
Spot or wrinkle
or any such thing.
00:25:13.81\00:25:17.25
Isn't that interesting
how people can just look it,
00:25:17.28\00:25:19.78
read that and just say,
yeah, but I know, that we know.
00:25:19.81\00:25:24.42
I just kind of go like I am.
00:25:24.45\00:25:27.42
I've often said, remember,
00:25:27.46\00:25:28.96
"Will heaven be a better
place if you go there today
00:25:28.99\00:25:32.86
or will it be a worse place?
00:25:32.89\00:25:34.23
Just like you are?"
00:25:34.26\00:25:35.86
Is that a fair question?
00:25:35.90\00:25:38.87
Sure. Will heaven be...
00:25:38.90\00:25:40.40
Listen, church, will
heaven be a better place
00:25:40.44\00:25:43.51
if you could go right now?
00:25:43.54\00:25:45.21
Boom.
00:25:45.24\00:25:46.68
Would it be a better
place or a worse place?
00:25:46.71\00:25:48.84
Most of us will say, "Oh, no,
00:25:48.88\00:25:51.28
there are some things
that need to be worked out
00:25:51.31\00:25:52.65
in my character."
00:25:52.68\00:25:54.02
Then let's get working.
00:25:54.05\00:25:55.38
By the grace of God,
00:25:55.42\00:25:56.75
let the Holy
Spirit come and say,
00:25:56.79\00:25:58.12
God, work these things out.
00:25:58.15\00:25:59.49
Give me the victory that I need.
00:25:59.52\00:26:00.86
I can't do it on
my own. I'm a failure.
00:26:00.89\00:26:02.36
I need some help.
00:26:02.39\00:26:04.96
Because after all, Bible means
what it says or it doesn't.
00:26:04.99\00:26:08.56
I'm coming after a church
00:26:08.60\00:26:09.93
that means the
people, doesn't it?
00:26:09.96\00:26:11.37
Without spot or
wrinkle or any such thing.
00:26:11.40\00:26:15.97
So the seal of
God then is not placed
00:26:16.00\00:26:18.41
on the person
with a spot or stain.
00:26:18.44\00:26:22.08
Wow!
00:26:22.11\00:26:23.48
How can that possibly be?
00:26:23.51\00:26:26.68
Let me just throw four
important things out here
00:26:26.72\00:26:28.82
for you that may be...
00:26:28.85\00:26:30.65
I don't want to confuse you
00:26:30.69\00:26:32.02
but just food for
those who have been studying
00:26:32.05\00:26:33.59
along these issues
00:26:33.62\00:26:34.99
because I'm looking for a
time kind of a time frame,
00:26:35.02\00:26:38.46
when is this
really taking place?
00:26:38.49\00:26:40.46
There's something
way down the road,
00:26:40.50\00:26:41.93
or something's already passed,
00:26:41.96\00:26:43.50
or as God's saying right now,
00:26:43.53\00:26:44.87
this is where we're at
right now in society today.
00:26:44.90\00:26:48.40
The seal of God is going
to be given during the time,
00:26:48.44\00:26:50.74
how many have heard about
the latter rain experience?
00:26:50.77\00:26:54.81
Yeah.
00:26:54.84\00:26:56.21
We're gonna have to have
a latter rain experience.
00:26:56.24\00:26:58.28
That means some real
changes, isn't that right,
00:26:58.31\00:27:00.65
that take place so
that we can receive
00:27:00.68\00:27:02.28
the seal of the living God.
00:27:02.32\00:27:04.95
Seal of God's
going to take place prior
00:27:04.99\00:27:07.06
to the close of probation.
00:27:07.09\00:27:09.02
I mean, how many times
you hear that in the pulpit,
00:27:09.06\00:27:10.59
close of probation?
00:27:10.63\00:27:11.96
Somebody told me today,
well, don't use that word
00:27:11.99\00:27:13.60
because people don't understand.
00:27:13.63\00:27:14.96
It was about time we did.
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.77
Is that okay?
00:27:16.80\00:27:18.70
I'm not trying
to be ugly about it.
00:27:18.73\00:27:20.07
It's just like, why do people
who supposedly believe like you
00:27:20.10\00:27:23.84
do make those kinds of comments?
00:27:23.87\00:27:27.18
You see, don't use that.
00:27:27.21\00:27:29.38
No, I can
understand that, Terry.
00:27:29.41\00:27:31.81
I can understand when
it says close of probation.
00:27:31.85\00:27:34.22
That means it's over with.
00:27:34.25\00:27:36.38
Your life is one like what?
00:27:36.42\00:27:38.02
No matter how long you
live is the life of probation,
00:27:38.05\00:27:40.69
to see whether
you're going to make heaven
00:27:40.72\00:27:42.32
your home or not.
00:27:42.36\00:27:43.86
Heaven or hell, you choose.
00:27:43.89\00:27:47.10
I mean, really, it's that simple
00:27:47.13\00:27:48.50
and we don't want
to think that way.
00:27:48.53\00:27:52.70
The seal of God's
going to be given to the time
00:27:52.73\00:27:55.14
when Christ is in
the heavenly sanctuary,
00:27:55.17\00:27:56.84
He's blotting out our sins.
00:27:56.87\00:27:58.51
There's a
difference in covering our sins
00:27:58.54\00:28:01.28
with the blood.
00:28:01.31\00:28:02.64
And then there's time
of blotting out our sins
00:28:02.68\00:28:04.38
where He remembers them no more.
00:28:04.41\00:28:07.22
Remember in the
earthly sanctuary
00:28:07.25\00:28:08.58
every day they killed
animals, isn't that right?
00:28:08.62\00:28:10.32
And the blood is
symbolically stored
00:28:10.35\00:28:11.89
in the earthly sanctuary, right?
00:28:11.92\00:28:13.79
And then once a
year, it was what?
00:28:13.82\00:28:15.32
Sanctuary was cleansed.
00:28:15.36\00:28:17.43
This is what it's
talking about the blotting time,
00:28:17.46\00:28:19.93
a cleansing time.
00:28:19.96\00:28:24.13
Well, Christ is working
at the close of His ministry
00:28:24.17\00:28:27.70
as our high priest.
00:28:27.74\00:28:29.07
I don't think
anybody would fight that.
00:28:29.10\00:28:31.54
Now let's go back and
discover a few things here
00:28:31.57\00:28:33.31
quickly as we can here.
00:28:33.34\00:28:35.31
A little bit of a timeframe.
00:28:35.34\00:28:37.31
The sealing process takes place,
00:28:37.35\00:28:39.41
what's involved in it,
00:28:39.45\00:28:41.42
and the necessity of it.
00:28:41.45\00:28:44.39
Turn with me if you
will in Revelation Chapter 5.
00:28:44.42\00:28:46.99
We'll go back a
couple of chapters.
00:28:47.02\00:28:48.49
I think you'll see what, I mean
you can't go through all of it.
00:28:48.52\00:28:50.86
You don't have time in one hour
00:28:50.89\00:28:52.99
unless you have two or three.
00:28:53.03\00:28:56.00
Well, I'll go
back and just go on.
00:28:56.03\00:28:58.60
I say unless you
have two or three
00:28:58.63\00:29:02.14
then we can, right,
00:29:02.17\00:29:03.51
there's more
that can be discussed.
00:29:03.54\00:29:04.87
Revelation 5:1,
what does the Bible say?
00:29:04.91\00:29:07.74
He said, "I saw in
the right hand of him
00:29:07.78\00:29:09.94
that sat on the throne,
00:29:09.98\00:29:11.38
I saw a book written
within and on the backside,
00:29:11.41\00:29:14.72
sealed with seven seals."
00:29:14.75\00:29:16.79
What do we see?
00:29:16.82\00:29:18.92
This begins to reveal
some very important information
00:29:18.95\00:29:22.69
for us to look at here.
00:29:22.72\00:29:25.53
It involves the entire universe.
00:29:25.56\00:29:29.13
And the one who wins
the great controversy
00:29:29.16\00:29:32.07
between good and evil.
00:29:32.10\00:29:33.70
This is very
important to understand this,
00:29:33.74\00:29:35.64
it's very important,
because who is worthy.
00:29:35.67\00:29:38.84
John begins to weep
when he sees the scene.
00:29:38.87\00:29:42.18
If we had time, we'd read over,
John begin to cry just, oh,
00:29:42.21\00:29:45.35
because he saw the book
00:29:45.38\00:29:46.72
and he be able to
visually be able to solve
00:29:46.75\00:29:48.18
some of the things
was written in the book.
00:29:48.22\00:29:50.15
And some of the things
were written in the book,
00:29:50.19\00:29:51.92
to me, think about
do some study on it.
00:29:51.95\00:29:54.12
He understood that mankind
would take the life of Jesus.
00:29:54.16\00:29:58.86
He's able to
reveal that, he saw in,
00:29:58.89\00:30:01.36
and then what
happened to the churches
00:30:01.40\00:30:03.43
in the Book of
Revelation are seven churches
00:30:03.47\00:30:05.43
representing seven different
periods of earth's history.
00:30:05.47\00:30:09.14
And we are in
the seventh church.
00:30:09.17\00:30:11.94
Isn't that right? Laodicea.
00:30:11.97\00:30:13.31
There's no more churches,
00:30:13.34\00:30:14.68
if you don't believe
that the Lord is coming.
00:30:14.71\00:30:16.04
Come on.
00:30:16.08\00:30:17.41
They're seven seals,
we're at the end of the sixth,
00:30:17.45\00:30:19.15
the beginning of the seventh,
00:30:19.18\00:30:20.52
Jesus comes,
what more do we want?
00:30:20.55\00:30:23.59
You see these
things are revealed to us
00:30:23.62\00:30:25.39
that we need to understand
as we study these things.
00:30:25.42\00:30:29.42
Who's the winner
in this great battle
00:30:29.46\00:30:31.26
between good and evil?
00:30:31.29\00:30:32.63
And now John says, who's
worthy to open this book?
00:30:32.66\00:30:37.00
There's no one
worthy to open this book.
00:30:37.03\00:30:39.97
Well, they're gonna do,
the records, all the events,
00:30:40.00\00:30:43.00
everything that was supposed
to transpire down the road,
00:30:43.04\00:30:46.54
we say in Bible prophecy.
00:30:46.57\00:30:50.58
There's no one to open the book,
00:30:50.61\00:30:52.45
mankind's going to be
lost, the world will be lost.
00:30:52.48\00:30:55.72
No one can open this book.
00:30:55.75\00:30:57.19
And so he began to weep over it.
00:30:57.22\00:31:01.26
Then Jesus steps up, do
you notice there in verse 1,
00:31:01.29\00:31:04.09
even it says right here.
00:31:04.13\00:31:05.99
"And I saw in
the right hand of him
00:31:06.03\00:31:08.76
that sat on the throne."
00:31:08.80\00:31:10.13
Who is that?
00:31:10.17\00:31:11.50
Somebody said God.
00:31:11.53\00:31:13.10
God, the Father
sitting on the throne,
00:31:13.13\00:31:14.84
he had this book,
00:31:14.87\00:31:16.20
and there's no
one that can open it,
00:31:16.24\00:31:19.21
history of the world.
00:31:19.24\00:31:20.64
But up steps
somebody, it says who?
00:31:20.68\00:31:22.98
Who is it? Jesus.
00:31:23.01\00:31:25.45
The Lamb steps up,
00:31:25.48\00:31:27.42
and He takes it from
the hand of the Father.
00:31:27.45\00:31:29.58
And basically, what is He doing?
00:31:29.62\00:31:30.95
Remember, He gave his life
00:31:30.99\00:31:32.35
before the
foundation of the world
00:31:32.39\00:31:35.22
that was already put
into place if man should fall,
00:31:35.26\00:31:38.29
I will be the substitute.
00:31:38.33\00:31:40.90
Isn't that wonderful to
know you have a substitute,
00:31:40.93\00:31:43.43
you have a surety
00:31:43.47\00:31:46.57
that Jesus takes your
place because we failed,
00:31:46.60\00:31:49.00
we need a Savior.
00:31:49.04\00:31:50.94
He said I'll be there.
00:31:50.97\00:31:52.31
I'll do that.
00:31:52.34\00:31:54.04
Jesus then comes
and He takes the book
00:31:54.08\00:31:56.38
out of the right hand of Him
00:31:56.41\00:31:57.75
who sat on the
throne, the Bible says here.
00:31:57.78\00:32:02.42
Revelation 5:9 says,
00:32:02.45\00:32:04.52
notice this, how
could Jesus do this?
00:32:04.55\00:32:08.32
Because verse 9 says,
Revelation 5:9, He's worthy.
00:32:08.36\00:32:12.29
Come on somebody. He's what?
00:32:12.33\00:32:14.46
He's worthy. Why is He worthy?
00:32:14.50\00:32:16.87
Because He was the Lamb slain
00:32:16.90\00:32:18.23
from the
foundation of the world.
00:32:18.27\00:32:20.10
Because of His blood,
00:32:20.14\00:32:21.60
He was worthy to take that
scroll and unroll that scroll.
00:32:21.64\00:32:26.44
Wow, that's awesome.
00:32:26.47\00:32:30.05
The death of Christ
would bring salvation to many.
00:32:30.08\00:32:35.02
And in turn,
the character of God
00:32:35.05\00:32:37.59
would be vindicated.
00:32:37.62\00:32:40.02
Isn't that what part
of the great controversy
00:32:40.06\00:32:41.49
is all about?
00:32:41.52\00:32:43.53
God needed us.
00:32:43.56\00:32:44.89
I said a couple of
weeks ago, God needed you.
00:32:44.93\00:32:47.63
He needs me.
00:32:47.66\00:32:49.10
That sounds so strange.
00:32:49.13\00:32:50.87
What do you mean He needs us?
00:32:50.90\00:32:52.67
He's looking for a people
00:32:52.70\00:32:54.04
that will
vindicate His character
00:32:54.07\00:32:55.60
because in heaven, God's
character was challenged.
00:32:55.64\00:32:58.84
The enemy
challenged, did he not?
00:32:58.87\00:33:00.51
God's character,
said He wasn't fair.
00:33:00.54\00:33:02.31
He wasn't good.
00:33:02.34\00:33:03.68
And God said
there'll be a people
00:33:03.71\00:33:06.65
that will bear My
character in the last days.
00:33:06.68\00:33:08.65
I will identify
them and I'll seal them.
00:33:08.68\00:33:12.29
Now if no one steps up, my,
my, the world would be lost.
00:33:12.32\00:33:17.23
No one would be saved.
00:33:17.26\00:33:19.29
And John recognized this
while he was crying, wow,
00:33:19.33\00:33:25.27
that's why I think in closing
00:33:25.30\00:33:26.63
we'll be singing
victory in Jesus.
00:33:26.67\00:33:29.17
Yeah.
00:33:29.20\00:33:30.74
Think about victory in
Jesus, my Savior forever.
00:33:30.77\00:33:34.68
And the Bible is clear
about this victory in Jesus.
00:33:34.71\00:33:37.45
He wants the results.
00:33:37.48\00:33:38.81
It says they, these
ones who gained the victory
00:33:38.85\00:33:41.45
they sing a new song.
00:33:41.48\00:33:42.82
Wow. They have a new what?
00:33:42.85\00:33:45.02
A new name.
00:33:45.05\00:33:47.19
They're going to
live in the New Jerusalem,
00:33:47.22\00:33:49.02
ain't that wonderful?
00:33:49.06\00:33:51.53
When all things are made new,
00:33:51.56\00:33:52.89
did you get that, Revelation 21.
00:33:52.93\00:33:54.33
Read those, Revelation 21,
Revelation 2, Revelation 3:12.
00:33:54.36\00:33:57.83
Read these things
when you have time.
00:33:57.87\00:34:00.57
Now let's go to
opening the seals
00:34:00.60\00:34:02.17
but now for time sake
00:34:02.20\00:34:05.21
because this pertains to us.
00:34:05.24\00:34:06.64
I want to go to the sixth seal.
00:34:06.68\00:34:10.78
How many seals are there?
00:34:10.81\00:34:12.78
Seven.
00:34:12.81\00:34:14.15
And if we're in the sixth,
00:34:14.18\00:34:15.52
does that say
anything about how close we are
00:34:15.55\00:34:16.95
to the end of time possibly?
00:34:16.99\00:34:18.59
I think fairly we could say,
00:34:18.62\00:34:20.06
yeah, absolutely
if there's only seven.
00:34:20.09\00:34:24.16
If we can
establish on the Word of God,
00:34:24.19\00:34:26.39
we're between
the end of the sixth
00:34:26.43\00:34:28.06
and one more left the seventh.
00:34:28.10\00:34:30.53
It tells us we need to be ready.
00:34:30.57\00:34:32.83
If you're trying to
look for some kind of a chart
00:34:32.87\00:34:34.50
and say, Oh, are we that close?
00:34:34.54\00:34:37.57
Revelation Chapter 6, quickly,
let's read verses 12 and 13.
00:34:37.61\00:34:40.74
Revelation
6:12-13, are you there?
00:34:40.78\00:34:44.58
Revelation 6:12-13.
00:34:44.61\00:34:47.25
Here's what the Bible says.
00:34:47.28\00:34:50.29
"And I beheld
00:34:50.32\00:34:51.65
when he had
opened the sixth seal,
00:34:51.69\00:34:54.89
and lo, there was
a great earthquake,
00:34:54.92\00:34:57.09
the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair,
00:34:57.13\00:34:59.63
the moon became as blood,
00:34:59.66\00:35:01.43
notice, the
stars of heaven," what?
00:35:01.46\00:35:04.13
"Fell to the earth,
00:35:04.17\00:35:05.50
even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs,
00:35:05.53\00:35:08.60
when she is
shaken by a mighty wind."
00:35:08.64\00:35:11.71
Something's going on here?
00:35:11.74\00:35:13.07
Do you notice he said,
00:35:13.11\00:35:14.44
the sixth seal then
00:35:14.48\00:35:15.81
there would be this that
would take place in the world
00:35:15.84\00:35:18.88
that we could relate
to the time frame of it?
00:35:18.91\00:35:22.02
Isn't that wonderful?
00:35:22.05\00:35:23.39
Most people don't read it.
00:35:23.42\00:35:24.75
They don't want to study it.
00:35:24.79\00:35:26.12
They're scared of it. Why?
00:35:26.15\00:35:27.49
Jesus revealed it in here.
00:35:27.52\00:35:28.92
Jesus spoke about these things.
00:35:28.96\00:35:31.16
Now notice, when we read this,
it's just, is interesting to me
00:35:31.19\00:35:35.33
when we read it.
00:35:35.36\00:35:36.73
John said he beheld as
the sixth seal was opened,
00:35:36.77\00:35:40.07
said there was a great what?
00:35:40.10\00:35:41.84
Keep in mind,
earthquake, the sun became what?
00:35:41.87\00:35:44.81
Black as sackcloth of
hair, the moon became as what?
00:35:44.84\00:35:47.18
Blood.
00:35:47.21\00:35:48.54
Verse 13, the
stars of heaven fell.
00:35:48.58\00:35:50.25
So there be things
that would happen in order
00:35:50.28\00:35:52.11
so you would know
00:35:52.15\00:35:53.48
because there were
earthquakes before,
00:35:53.52\00:35:54.85
stars fell before,
00:35:54.88\00:35:56.22
but God said it's
gonna be like this
00:35:56.25\00:35:58.09
so that you can't get confused.
00:35:58.12\00:36:00.96
Man, if you look
back, you can follow 1755,
00:36:00.99\00:36:03.86
November 1st, 1755
was the day the earthquake
00:36:03.89\00:36:08.16
that was followed by
the darkening of the sun.
00:36:08.20\00:36:11.97
No other time had been done that
00:36:12.00\00:36:13.37
so we have to
look at it closely.
00:36:13.40\00:36:14.90
The Lisbon earthquake
00:36:14.94\00:36:16.27
shook over 4
million square miles.
00:36:16.30\00:36:18.24
I mean, there's something
we have to think about here.
00:36:18.27\00:36:21.28
Jesus even spoke about this.
00:36:21.31\00:36:22.88
You remember in Matthew
24:7, He said there'd be famine
00:36:22.91\00:36:26.88
and there had to be pestilence,
and then they would be what?
00:36:26.92\00:36:29.42
Earthquakes.
00:36:29.45\00:36:32.22
Jesus talked about it
Himself as a sign of His coming
00:36:32.25\00:36:35.69
and yet we read it
and we just say, well,
00:36:35.72\00:36:37.89
well be careful, Kenny,
00:36:37.93\00:36:39.26
he didn't know what
he was talking about.
00:36:39.29\00:36:41.60
If we ignore it, that's
exactly what we're saying.
00:36:41.63\00:36:44.67
Is that okay?
00:36:44.70\00:36:46.03
If we ignore
what He says, we what?
00:36:46.07\00:36:49.00
We've thrown Him out.
00:36:49.04\00:36:50.37
We've closed the door
on the one that says Kenny,
00:36:50.41\00:36:52.84
I don't want you to miss this.
00:36:52.87\00:36:55.58
So he said those
things would take place
00:36:55.61\00:36:57.61
before but when you
see these back to back like
00:36:57.65\00:37:00.82
I'm talking about here,
00:37:00.85\00:37:02.18
then you're going to
know under the sixth seal.
00:37:02.22\00:37:06.62
So we could know His
coming is near even at the door.
00:37:06.65\00:37:09.19
Matthew 24:29, you can
read it, Great Controversy, 334.
00:37:09.22\00:37:14.16
You can read all of these things
00:37:14.20\00:37:16.23
and know His coming is near.
00:37:16.26\00:37:19.33
Wow!
00:37:19.37\00:37:20.70
Then it says
the sun became what?
00:37:20.74\00:37:23.37
Black.
00:37:23.41\00:37:25.37
Isn't that interesting?
00:37:25.41\00:37:27.18
Do you realize that day
was recorded in history 1780,
00:37:27.21\00:37:31.55
May the 19th, 1780.
00:37:31.58\00:37:34.15
Remember, it's
following in succession.
00:37:34.18\00:37:36.85
First was 1755.
00:37:36.89\00:37:38.69
Five years later, we
had the darkening what?
00:37:38.72\00:37:41.26
Oh, the sun.
00:37:41.29\00:37:43.69
And then it said by side that
00:37:43.73\00:37:45.29
that then there we have the moon
00:37:45.33\00:37:47.10
became as blood,
interesting, verse 13.
00:37:47.13\00:37:51.10
Then it said the stars of what?
00:37:51.13\00:37:53.70
Heaven fell.
00:37:53.74\00:37:55.80
We know that
recorded in history, 1833.
00:37:55.84\00:37:58.87
So we can put it in a
time frame here like that.
00:37:58.91\00:38:01.08
Then the sixth seal, you
have, you all read in 1833.
00:38:01.11\00:38:06.11
Go into the end,
Jesus has given us time.
00:38:06.15\00:38:09.88
And notice after that
1833 Jesus says something,
00:38:09.92\00:38:14.56
remember as the scroll what?
00:38:14.59\00:38:17.46
Unrolls, Revelation 6:14,
00:38:17.49\00:38:21.03
he says that
the powers of heaven
00:38:21.06\00:38:23.70
shall be shaken.
00:38:23.73\00:38:25.30
Now, remember, when Jesus spoke
00:38:25.33\00:38:26.67
of the powers of
heaven to be shaken,
00:38:26.70\00:38:28.40
He was talking
about powers of heaven,
00:38:28.44\00:38:30.77
not the ones of earth.
00:38:30.81\00:38:32.67
But notice that
that's not happened yet.
00:38:32.71\00:38:35.61
That is yet in the future.
00:38:35.64\00:38:37.98
But right after
that, what happens?
00:38:38.01\00:38:40.38
Matthew 24:30, says what?
00:38:40.42\00:38:42.85
"Then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven,
00:38:42.88\00:38:46.72
coming in the clouds of heaven
00:38:46.76\00:38:48.42
with great power
and great glory."
00:38:48.46\00:38:50.43
You can see here
and you're saying,
00:38:50.46\00:38:51.83
well, that's a lot of
time in between those things.
00:38:51.86\00:38:53.43
Thank God for time,
who's just merciful to us.
00:38:53.46\00:38:56.77
We need it.
00:38:56.80\00:38:58.13
If God's people were
ready, He would come.
00:38:58.17\00:39:01.10
We're not ready.
00:39:01.14\00:39:02.60
If we were ready He would come.
00:39:02.64\00:39:05.34
There are other
decisions yet to be made.
00:39:05.37\00:39:07.24
Evidently, we're going to
have to be tested and tried.
00:39:07.28\00:39:11.28
This world is in a mess.
00:39:11.31\00:39:12.98
The Bible talks about
kings and the great men
00:39:13.01\00:39:15.82
and the rich men
and the mighty men
00:39:15.85\00:39:17.52
and the bond,
00:39:17.55\00:39:19.12
they begin to cry
out with this question,
00:39:19.15\00:39:21.39
why go back and talk about
00:39:21.42\00:39:22.96
a little bit of just
touching on the edges
00:39:22.99\00:39:24.39
of some of this
stuff right here.
00:39:24.43\00:39:25.76
Because in Revelation
6:17, they asked it quiet,
00:39:25.79\00:39:29.90
things that's
going on in the world,
00:39:29.93\00:39:31.30
right where we're at right now
00:39:31.33\00:39:32.67
that men are
scratching their head and say,
00:39:32.70\00:39:34.04
we don't know what in the
world is going on right now.
00:39:34.07\00:39:36.17
And they begin to cry out
because they're getting so bad,
00:39:36.20\00:39:38.61
who shall be able to stand?
00:39:38.64\00:39:40.48
Is somebody with me?
00:39:40.51\00:39:42.01
The question is asked,
who shall be able to stand,
00:39:42.04\00:39:45.08
and then God goes back
to Revelation Chapter 7,
00:39:45.11\00:39:47.38
said, here's the
people that will stand.
00:39:47.42\00:39:49.58
These are one I'm going to
get the seal of the living God,
00:39:49.62\00:39:51.65
this is how I'm gonna
put my approval upon them,
00:39:51.69\00:39:53.76
and I'll tell you about them.
00:39:53.79\00:39:55.56
So between the
sixth and the seventh,
00:39:55.59\00:39:57.86
Revelation Chapter 7 seals,
Revelation 7 is put in there.
00:39:57.89\00:40:03.53
And then Revelation 8,
the seventh seal is opened.
00:40:03.57\00:40:08.60
This is so
important that a whole chapter
00:40:08.64\00:40:10.77
is dedicated to it.
00:40:10.81\00:40:13.94
Remember, the sixth, the seals,
00:40:13.98\00:40:17.75
all, they show a different phase
00:40:17.78\00:40:19.68
of the great controversy
00:40:19.71\00:40:21.32
that's going in going on
between Christ and Satan.
00:40:21.35\00:40:25.45
Now, Chapter 7 reveals
and answers the question
00:40:25.49\00:40:30.93
who shall be able to stand?
00:40:30.96\00:40:33.03
Let's check it out, shall we?
00:40:33.06\00:40:35.56
Now remember Nine Testimonies
when you read it right there,
00:40:35.60\00:40:37.90
you know and I know,
00:40:37.93\00:40:39.27
it said great changes
are soon to take place.
00:40:39.30\00:40:42.84
Hello, great, what?
00:40:42.87\00:40:45.31
Great changes I'll say,
00:40:45.34\00:40:46.68
can't tell me in
the last year and a half
00:40:46.71\00:40:48.04
there hadn't been
some great changes.
00:40:48.08\00:40:51.15
And this is just the
beginning, what do you call,
00:40:51.18\00:40:53.38
the end of iceberg,
00:40:53.42\00:40:54.75
the beginning of
tip of the iceberg.
00:40:54.78\00:40:57.25
This is just the tip of it.
00:40:57.29\00:40:58.85
The way things are going to
get according to Bible prophecy,
00:40:58.89\00:41:01.16
Lord have mercy.
00:41:01.19\00:41:02.52
We need a Savior.
00:41:02.56\00:41:03.89
Man, we need some outside help.
00:41:03.93\00:41:05.66
We need some power.
00:41:05.69\00:41:07.03
We need some
wisdom that we don't have.
00:41:07.06\00:41:10.63
And then we continue to read
00:41:10.67\00:41:12.23
that one of the
quotes everybody knows
00:41:12.27\00:41:14.34
the last movements will be what?
00:41:14.37\00:41:16.14
Will be rapid
ones, we know that.
00:41:16.17\00:41:18.87
Little book I read
a lot about Education,
00:41:18.91\00:41:20.81
page 179, 180, just powerful.
00:41:20.84\00:41:24.61
It says, "Angels
are now," notice this,
00:41:24.65\00:41:26.85
"restraining the
winds of strife."
00:41:26.88\00:41:28.75
What did we
read in Revelation 7?
00:41:28.78\00:41:31.32
The four angels are doing what?
00:41:31.35\00:41:33.86
Yeah, they're holding
back the winds of strife,
00:41:33.89\00:41:36.96
"That the winds may not blow,"
00:41:36.99\00:41:38.46
come on now, "until the world
00:41:38.49\00:41:39.89
shall be warned
of the coming doom,
00:41:39.93\00:41:43.90
but a storm is gathering,
00:41:43.93\00:41:46.37
ready to burst upon the world,
00:41:46.40\00:41:49.67
when God should bid His
angels loose the winds,"
00:41:49.70\00:41:52.57
come on church,
listen carefully.
00:41:52.61\00:41:55.51
It says here, notice it,
00:41:55.54\00:41:56.88
"a scene of strife
that no pin can picture."
00:41:56.91\00:42:01.75
You can't even write about it.
00:42:01.78\00:42:03.28
It's too much.
00:42:03.32\00:42:04.92
So see what God is
saying hold back the winds.
00:42:04.95\00:42:08.59
Again that's
war, that's bloodshed.
00:42:08.62\00:42:10.63
That's all thing that
turmoil going on in the world.
00:42:10.66\00:42:13.13
We're seeing it now a
lot of different ways.
00:42:13.16\00:42:15.13
Nations are speaking out like
00:42:15.16\00:42:16.53
they never spoke in a long time.
00:42:16.56\00:42:18.87
Basically, they're
saying won't you try us.
00:42:18.90\00:42:21.80
If you lay hands over here,
00:42:21.84\00:42:23.17
we're going to
show you what we can do
00:42:23.20\00:42:24.57
and we're saying back
we'll show you what we can do.
00:42:24.61\00:42:27.01
That's pretty much
paraphrased, is that not true?
00:42:27.04\00:42:29.41
Wars and rumors of wars.
00:42:29.44\00:42:31.75
We don't want to see
that, what if it takes place?
00:42:31.78\00:42:34.45
Our world will be
changed in such a way you think
00:42:34.48\00:42:36.92
the trucking thing
right now is an issue.
00:42:36.95\00:42:38.99
You think the shipping
thing is an issue right now.
00:42:39.02\00:42:41.32
There'll be duck soup compared
00:42:41.36\00:42:42.69
to what we're
going to be looking at.
00:42:42.72\00:42:44.13
We'll be worried about our bread
00:42:44.16\00:42:45.49
and our water which God says
00:42:45.53\00:42:46.86
is going to be sure
if you're one of His,
00:42:46.90\00:42:48.96
if He recognizes
you and He'd say,
00:42:49.00\00:42:50.80
I know you, here's My seal.
00:42:50.83\00:42:53.80
I recognize you.
00:42:53.84\00:42:55.27
Remember what He
says to some of those?
00:42:55.30\00:42:56.97
Depart from Me you
workers of iniquity.
00:42:57.01\00:42:58.47
I don't know you.
00:42:58.51\00:42:59.84
Have we not cast out demons
00:42:59.87\00:43:01.21
and done mighty
amount of works in Thy name.
00:43:01.24\00:43:03.14
He said I don't know.
00:43:03.18\00:43:05.08
Well, what do you mean?
We've done mighty works.
00:43:05.11\00:43:06.48
We've cast out demons.
00:43:06.51\00:43:07.85
We've done all kind
of, we've helped the poor,
00:43:07.88\00:43:09.22
we spent all of our lives."
00:43:09.25\00:43:10.59
He said, "I
still don't know you."
00:43:10.62\00:43:12.35
There's more than just working.
00:43:12.39\00:43:14.09
You can't work
your way into heaven.
00:43:14.12\00:43:16.83
You can't just keep
the law of God we say
00:43:16.86\00:43:19.19
and that's going to
be make us to heaven.
00:43:19.23\00:43:20.83
No, we're saved by
grace through faith.
00:43:20.86\00:43:22.90
But God has given us 10 commands
00:43:22.93\00:43:25.13
and He expects us to be obedient
00:43:25.17\00:43:26.77
to those things.
00:43:26.80\00:43:29.04
Remember, it's
more than just talking,
00:43:29.07\00:43:30.47
oh, I love Jesus.
00:43:30.51\00:43:31.84
Really, if you love Jesus,
00:43:31.87\00:43:33.21
then you'd be
willing to do this, right?
00:43:33.24\00:43:35.44
They're saying today if
you really love your job,
00:43:35.48\00:43:37.48
you'll do this,
00:43:37.51\00:43:38.85
'cause you want
to keep it, come on.
00:43:38.88\00:43:40.32
Audrey, you know that firsthand.
00:43:40.35\00:43:42.92
Work in a hospital you get fired
00:43:42.95\00:43:44.32
because you don't
want to take the vaccine.
00:43:44.35\00:43:47.16
You think it's bad
now, hang on to your hat.
00:43:47.19\00:43:51.09
I don't like to say that.
00:43:51.13\00:43:52.46
You like smooth things
and you'll go, would say,
00:43:52.49\00:43:54.33
oh, I don't want to hear.
00:43:54.36\00:43:56.20
Somebody says oh,
here he goes again.
00:43:56.23\00:43:58.13
Yes, that's right.
00:43:58.17\00:43:59.83
Now I'm gonna keep going again.
00:43:59.87\00:44:01.24
Right.
00:44:01.27\00:44:02.60
The winds are
blowing on this country
00:44:02.64\00:44:04.87
on this world right now.
00:44:04.91\00:44:06.61
Strife, we need to be ready.
00:44:06.64\00:44:09.81
Angels of God, remember those
00:44:09.84\00:44:14.18
who receive the
seal of the living God
00:44:14.22\00:44:16.58
will have their passport
00:44:16.62\00:44:18.85
through the gates
of the city of God.
00:44:18.89\00:44:21.36
Do you know how
wonderful that is?
00:44:21.39\00:44:24.06
Let's quickly go.
00:44:24.09\00:44:25.43
You remember, you say,
well, I don't know about that?
00:44:25.46\00:44:28.63
You know the Israelites, right?
00:44:28.66\00:44:30.03
You know, right?
00:44:30.07\00:44:31.40
God said let the people go
the Israelites the firstborn,
00:44:31.43\00:44:34.04
you remember that?
00:44:34.07\00:44:35.90
How were they saved?
00:44:35.94\00:44:37.57
They went through
where angel went, right?
00:44:37.61\00:44:39.47
God went first, they
put blood over the doorpost,
00:44:39.51\00:44:42.04
you remember that?
00:44:42.08\00:44:44.45
They seal the house
00:44:44.48\00:44:46.68
with the blood of
Jesus, isn't that right?
00:44:46.72\00:44:49.28
Your house should be
sealed with the blood of Jesus.
00:44:49.32\00:44:52.19
And when the death
angel comes as it were,
00:44:52.22\00:44:54.59
and problems in the world today,
00:44:54.62\00:44:56.52
that wicked angel that
wants to come and destroy
00:44:56.56\00:44:58.53
you can't do it.
00:44:58.56\00:45:00.23
He can't do it.
00:45:00.26\00:45:01.60
The blood of Christ
00:45:01.63\00:45:03.13
but we've got to be able
to by faith put that there,
00:45:03.16\00:45:05.90
and certainly hope.
00:45:05.93\00:45:07.27
But you know what?
00:45:07.30\00:45:08.64
Nowadays we must do it
according to God's way,
00:45:08.67\00:45:12.41
God's time.
00:45:12.44\00:45:15.54
Israelites place
that over the doors.
00:45:15.58\00:45:17.68
Do you know what it was?
00:45:17.71\00:45:19.05
It was a signature.
00:45:19.08\00:45:20.65
God owns His home.
00:45:20.68\00:45:22.85
Do you think the enemy dares?
00:45:22.88\00:45:24.22
No.
00:45:24.25\00:45:26.22
He was thrown out once,
he'd be thrown out again.
00:45:26.25\00:45:29.36
He'd been thrown out many times.
00:45:29.39\00:45:30.73
Isn't that right?
00:45:30.76\00:45:32.89
Somebody should
jump over a pew almost,
00:45:32.93\00:45:34.70
that's so exciting, right?
00:45:34.73\00:45:36.56
He's been thrown out of
your life many times too,
00:45:36.60\00:45:38.47
isn't that right?
00:45:38.50\00:45:39.83
We owe God,
because the signature
00:45:39.87\00:45:41.80
God has signed His
name on you and on me.
00:45:41.84\00:45:45.77
We're God's property is so good.
00:45:45.81\00:45:49.21
Today's the same.
00:45:49.24\00:45:50.58
Remember, we have to
have the signature of God
00:45:50.61\00:45:53.05
in His appointed way.
00:45:53.08\00:45:54.85
And you know what it is?
00:45:54.88\00:45:56.22
He said, "If you
place yourself in harmony
00:45:56.25\00:45:59.32
with My laws and My ways,
00:45:59.35\00:46:02.19
I'll be able to seal you."
00:46:02.22\00:46:04.36
Seal for eternity or to be lost,
00:46:04.39\00:46:06.39
you have to choose, I'll choose.
00:46:06.43\00:46:08.56
A mark is going to be placed
on every one of His people,
00:46:08.60\00:46:12.00
just as the mark was placed
00:46:12.03\00:46:13.77
over the doors
of the Hebrews home.
00:46:13.80\00:46:18.61
That mark would
preserve the people
00:46:18.64\00:46:20.41
from the general ruin at
that time and for us today
00:46:20.44\00:46:23.88
as the destroying angel went by.
00:46:23.91\00:46:25.68
Remember God goes by and marks,
He marks His people first.
00:46:25.71\00:46:31.12
And then the
destroying angel comes
00:46:31.15\00:46:33.15
after just like
it did in Israel.
00:46:33.19\00:46:35.69
And they see the
blood, they have to go on.
00:46:35.72\00:46:38.43
There's nothing
else they can do.
00:46:38.46\00:46:39.83
Do you have that
blood over the doorposts
00:46:39.86\00:46:41.20
of your home?
00:46:41.23\00:46:42.56
Do I have?
00:46:42.60\00:46:43.93
And notice how God
says here's how he's doing.
00:46:43.97\00:46:45.30
He said I've got a
sign and seal on My people.
00:46:45.33\00:46:47.14
You can either buy
it, you can accept it,
00:46:47.17\00:46:48.87
you can reject it,
you can throw it out.
00:46:48.90\00:46:50.51
This is what
the Word of God says
00:46:50.54\00:46:51.87
in Exodus 31:12-13.
00:46:51.91\00:46:53.88
Do you know what God says?
00:46:53.91\00:46:55.24
The sign right now
for the Christian world
00:46:55.28\00:46:56.71
when He looked at it,
00:46:56.75\00:46:58.08
He said, I gave them My Sabbath
00:46:58.11\00:47:00.48
to be a sign between me and them
00:47:00.52\00:47:02.52
that they might
know that I am the Lord
00:47:02.55\00:47:04.02
that sanctifies them.
00:47:04.05\00:47:06.09
There's nothing wrong with that.
00:47:06.12\00:47:08.52
There's only one
that can sanctify us,
00:47:08.56\00:47:10.09
isn't that right?
00:47:10.13\00:47:11.46
That's Jesus Christ
our Lord and our Savior.
00:47:11.49\00:47:13.19
He says the sign, I
gave them My Sabbath,
00:47:13.23\00:47:15.93
which is Sabbath
is a sign of what?
00:47:15.96\00:47:18.03
He is our creator.
00:47:18.07\00:47:20.30
Isn't that wonderful?
00:47:20.34\00:47:21.67
Creator,
Redeemer, and Sustainer,
00:47:21.70\00:47:24.74
it's a beautiful thing
00:47:24.77\00:47:26.11
when you look
in the Word of God.
00:47:26.14\00:47:28.38
We have the
audacity we think that
00:47:28.41\00:47:30.08
we can look at
God's Ten Commandments
00:47:30.11\00:47:31.85
and we can all of sudden
00:47:31.88\00:47:33.21
just take out one
if we don't like it
00:47:33.25\00:47:34.98
and add another
if we like it, No.
00:47:35.02\00:47:38.82
The seal of God is not
anything that we can hear,
00:47:38.85\00:47:43.56
but listen
carefully not anything
00:47:43.59\00:47:45.26
that can be seen
with the human eye
00:47:45.29\00:47:47.46
but it's settling into the truth
00:47:47.50\00:47:50.43
both
intellectually and spiritually.
00:47:50.47\00:47:53.74
Settling into what? The truth.
00:47:53.77\00:47:56.24
Notice, and just as soon
00:47:56.27\00:47:57.61
as God's people are
still in the forehead,
00:47:57.64\00:47:59.64
notice this, there's
going to be a shaking.
00:47:59.67\00:48:02.11
There's a shaking
going on right now.
00:48:02.14\00:48:04.08
The churches need to be
going through shaking right now.
00:48:04.11\00:48:06.72
The churches need to
be shook up right now.
00:48:06.75\00:48:09.92
The world's calling about
woke up, I'm tired of that.
00:48:09.95\00:48:12.42
Okay.
00:48:12.45\00:48:13.79
I better leave it
there, I get in trouble.
00:48:13.82\00:48:17.46
Something needs to be
going on in the churches today.
00:48:17.49\00:48:20.73
It's coming in
and just you know,
00:48:20.76\00:48:22.30
just blah-blah, you
know, something's going on.
00:48:22.33\00:48:24.50
Jesus is telling you
something's going on.
00:48:24.53\00:48:27.44
The judgments of God
are falling in the land
00:48:27.47\00:48:29.84
everything that you see,
00:48:29.87\00:48:31.34
the enemy says hey,
I'm the ruler of this,
00:48:31.37\00:48:33.41
the prince of this
world and blah-blah.
00:48:33.44\00:48:36.24
Insurance company says blow away
00:48:36.28\00:48:38.31
100 people and
billions of dollars there,
00:48:38.35\00:48:40.75
well, it's God, act of God.
00:48:40.78\00:48:43.22
No, that's a lie of the devil.
00:48:43.25\00:48:44.79
It's...
00:48:44.82\00:48:46.15
Is it okay to get into there?
00:48:46.19\00:48:47.76
It's a devil.
00:48:47.79\00:48:49.52
It's the enemy.
00:48:49.56\00:48:50.89
God would not do that.
00:48:50.93\00:48:52.26
He allows it to happen.
00:48:52.29\00:48:53.96
These judgments that are falling
00:48:54.00\00:48:55.86
in the land today
are just wake-up signs,
00:48:55.90\00:48:58.50
warning signs to us
today of the coming of Jesus.
00:48:58.53\00:49:03.27
New Testament in Ephesians 1:13.
00:49:03.30\00:49:05.71
Let's go quickly.
00:49:05.74\00:49:07.08
Ephesians 1:13 says
this, "In whom ye also trusted,
00:49:07.11\00:49:10.88
after ye heard
the word of truth,
00:49:10.91\00:49:14.08
the gospel of your salvation,"
00:49:14.12\00:49:16.22
notice, "in whom also after that
00:49:16.25\00:49:18.55
ye believed you
were sealed," what?
00:49:18.59\00:49:21.59
"With the Holy
Spirit of promise."
00:49:21.62\00:49:23.22
Did you notice how it went here?
00:49:23.26\00:49:25.49
You trusted to Him, you
heard the word of truth,
00:49:25.53\00:49:28.66
you hear the
truth or the gospel,
00:49:28.70\00:49:31.37
you hear salvation
that God offers to us,
00:49:31.40\00:49:34.04
and then you believed it,
and after you believed it,
00:49:34.07\00:49:37.37
then you're
sealed by the Holy Ghost.
00:49:37.41\00:49:40.04
Isn't that wonderful?
00:49:40.08\00:49:41.51
But believing
and receiving means
00:49:41.54\00:49:43.38
you act it out in your life
00:49:43.41\00:49:44.78
by the grace and power of God.
00:49:44.81\00:49:48.72
Man, do you remember
this in Ezekiel 9:2-5?
00:49:48.75\00:49:52.02
I'm not gonna read all that.
00:49:52.05\00:49:53.39
But the man with
the writers' inkhorn.
00:49:53.42\00:49:56.69
Do you remember
that on his side?
00:49:56.73\00:49:58.43
He was clothed in linen,
00:49:58.46\00:49:59.79
the man was called
to go you remember that?
00:49:59.83\00:50:02.56
To the midst of the city,
00:50:02.60\00:50:03.97
and to set a mark on
the foreheads of those
00:50:04.00\00:50:06.07
who sigh and cry
for the abominations
00:50:06.10\00:50:07.97
that be done, you remember that?
00:50:08.00\00:50:09.44
Think of that with me.
00:50:12.57\00:50:14.88
And he said, destroy
those who do not have the mark,
00:50:14.91\00:50:18.71
sign, and seal of God's people.
00:50:18.75\00:50:20.78
And it said slay
utterly young and old.
00:50:20.82\00:50:24.39
Man, we realize
that applied to Jerusalem
00:50:24.42\00:50:29.06
destruction in AD 70,
00:50:29.09\00:50:30.59
but more so even
in our time right now.
00:50:30.63\00:50:33.09
God's telling us right now.
00:50:33.13\00:50:34.46
God gave Moses now stay with me.
00:50:34.50\00:50:36.23
God gave Moses on
Sinai, two tables of testimony,
00:50:36.26\00:50:39.63
you remember that?
00:50:39.67\00:50:41.00
Yeah, tables of stone,
written with the finger of God.
00:50:41.04\00:50:45.34
Two tables of what?
00:50:45.37\00:50:46.71
Testimony, tables of stone,
written with the finger of God,
00:50:46.74\00:50:50.31
Exodus 31:18.
00:50:50.35\00:50:51.75
And the tables, now notice this,
00:50:51.78\00:50:53.15
and the tables
were the Word of God,
00:50:53.18\00:50:54.82
who's going to fight that?
00:50:54.85\00:50:57.52
Anybody wants to
fight it stand up.
00:50:57.55\00:51:01.16
You don't want to fight.
00:51:01.19\00:51:02.52
The Bible says and the
tables were the Word of God.
00:51:02.56\00:51:05.59
And the writing
was the writing of God,
00:51:05.63\00:51:08.03
well, it can't be bad then.
00:51:08.06\00:51:09.70
It was graven upon
tables of stone, you like that?
00:51:09.73\00:51:13.27
Exodus 32:16 and
what does God say on that?
00:51:13.30\00:51:16.64
He said, "Verily My
Sabbath you shall keep."
00:51:16.67\00:51:20.88
And then He goes on
and says Exodus 31:14,
00:51:20.91\00:51:23.18
"Everyone that defileth
00:51:23.21\00:51:24.85
it shall surely
be put to death."
00:51:24.88\00:51:27.15
Man, we've got
to put it together.
00:51:27.18\00:51:28.62
Time's running out.
00:51:28.65\00:51:29.98
You'll say well, but
sin, sin, what are they?
00:51:30.02\00:51:32.22
1 John 3:4,
00:51:32.25\00:51:33.59
"Sin is the
transgression of God's," what?
00:51:33.62\00:51:36.22
Put it together.
00:51:36.26\00:51:37.59
"Sin is the
transgression of God's law."
00:51:37.63\00:51:39.56
The wages of sin,
Romans what is it, 6:23,
00:51:39.59\00:51:42.33
"Wages of sin is," what?
00:51:42.36\00:51:43.73
"Death."
00:51:43.77\00:51:45.10
You might say,
oh, yes, praise God.
00:51:45.13\00:51:46.47
That's good but you
know, we're under grace.
00:51:46.50\00:51:48.24
Well, praise God for grace.
00:51:48.27\00:51:51.21
But grace is not
a license to sin.
00:51:51.24\00:51:53.81
God said no, so
what shall we say?
00:51:53.84\00:51:56.51
The Bible says that.
00:51:56.54\00:51:57.88
Romans 6:1-2,
"What shall we say then?
00:51:57.91\00:52:00.35
Shall we continue in
sin that grace may abound?"
00:52:00.38\00:52:03.69
Verse 2, "God forbid."
00:52:03.72\00:52:05.39
Did you get it?
00:52:05.42\00:52:07.59
God makes it very clear to us.
00:52:07.62\00:52:09.82
Remember, if there is no law,
00:52:09.86\00:52:11.39
and you say the law
has been done away with,
00:52:11.43\00:52:13.19
then there's no transgression,
00:52:13.23\00:52:14.76
go out and party
friend, go out and party.
00:52:14.80\00:52:18.03
You know, I don't
want you to do that.
00:52:18.07\00:52:20.17
I'm just saying,
if there's no law,
00:52:20.20\00:52:21.87
there's no transgression.
00:52:21.90\00:52:23.37
Read that in Romans 4:15.
00:52:23.41\00:52:25.67
It says, "By the
law is the," what?
00:52:25.71\00:52:28.24
"The knowledge of sin."
00:52:28.28\00:52:29.61
The law doesn't save you,
00:52:29.64\00:52:30.98
but it points out what sin is,
and points you to the Savior,
00:52:31.01\00:52:33.35
isn't that wonderful?
00:52:33.38\00:52:34.72
Romans 3:20, just read it.
00:52:34.75\00:52:37.65
No person can be
justified by keeping the law,
00:52:37.69\00:52:41.29
or by the deeds of the
law for Romans 3:24 said,
00:52:41.32\00:52:44.66
"Being justified," what?
00:52:44.69\00:52:46.23
"Freely by his grace
through the redemption
00:52:46.26\00:52:49.30
that is in Jesus Christ."
00:52:49.33\00:52:50.87
Remember this, the
Lord does not save sinners
00:52:50.90\00:52:54.00
by abolishing His law,
00:52:54.04\00:52:56.30
which is the
foundation of His government
00:52:56.34\00:52:58.57
in heaven and earth,
00:52:58.61\00:53:01.11
for the punishment has been met.
00:53:01.14\00:53:03.48
It's been endured
by our substitute.
00:53:03.51\00:53:06.51
Praise God for that,
Jesus Christ, our atonement.
00:53:06.55\00:53:10.25
That's called
justification by faith,
00:53:10.29\00:53:12.05
isn't that
wonderful to have that?
00:53:12.09\00:53:14.42
God gave His people
a mark of distinction.
00:53:14.46\00:53:19.56
A signature of God.
00:53:19.59\00:53:21.73
Let's make this
clear, Manuscript 27, 1899.
00:53:21.76\00:53:25.00
Those who would
have the seal of God,
00:53:25.03\00:53:28.57
let's just get down to it.
00:53:28.60\00:53:31.51
Is that okay?
00:53:31.54\00:53:32.87
Let's put it down in
case somebody said now,
00:53:32.91\00:53:34.61
wait a minute here.
00:53:34.64\00:53:35.98
That's okay, you can say,
listen here, here it says,
00:53:36.01\00:53:37.98
"If we would have the
seal of God in our foreheads,
00:53:38.01\00:53:40.85
we must keep the Sabbath
of the fourth commandment.
00:53:40.88\00:53:43.92
This is what distinguishes
his people from the disloyal,
00:53:43.95\00:53:47.66
who accept a
man-made institution
00:53:47.69\00:53:50.23
in the place of
the true Sabbath.
00:53:50.26\00:53:52.36
The observance of God's rest day
00:53:52.39\00:53:54.03
is the mark of distinction
00:53:54.06\00:53:55.53
between him that serve God
and him that serveth Him not."
00:53:55.56\00:53:59.77
Signs of Times,
May 6, 1897 said,
00:53:59.80\00:54:02.27
"Satan's plan is
to make of no account
00:54:02.30\00:54:04.44
the day that God instituted."
00:54:04.47\00:54:05.81
Does that make sense?
00:54:05.84\00:54:07.18
"And given to the world
as a memorial to creation."
00:54:07.21\00:54:10.21
He created the
world in six days,
00:54:10.25\00:54:11.98
He set aside the seventh day
00:54:12.01\00:54:13.65
so that we
remember who the creator is.
00:54:13.68\00:54:15.82
If we do not honor
the seventh day Sabbath,
00:54:15.85\00:54:17.69
we forget that
He is the creator,
00:54:17.72\00:54:19.92
though you could be
serving any kind of God.
00:54:19.95\00:54:22.16
Well, be careful now.
00:54:22.19\00:54:23.86
Historical Sketches, 217,
00:54:23.89\00:54:25.59
there is a mark
placed upon God's people.
00:54:25.63\00:54:28.56
That mark is keeping
the Sabbath day holy.
00:54:28.60\00:54:32.50
The Bible said
in Revelation 14:12,
00:54:32.53\00:54:34.37
come on, let's end up with this.
00:54:34.40\00:54:35.74
We've got a minute or so,
00:54:35.77\00:54:37.11
somebody should stand and shout.
00:54:37.14\00:54:38.47
The Bible said,
Here is the patience.
00:54:38.51\00:54:41.18
Here's the
patience of the saints.
00:54:41.21\00:54:43.75
Here are they that
keep the commandments of God
00:54:43.78\00:54:47.48
and have the what?
00:54:47.52\00:54:48.85
Faith of Jesus Christ.
00:54:48.88\00:54:50.22
That's what the Bible said.
00:54:50.25\00:54:51.59
Don't try to change it,
00:54:51.62\00:54:53.32
because it
doesn't fit your lifestyle
00:54:53.36\00:54:54.89
and it didn't fit my life.
00:54:54.92\00:54:56.26
Don't try to change it.
00:54:56.29\00:54:57.63
He said here it is.
00:54:57.66\00:54:58.99
His member interrupted things
that are going on in the seals
00:54:59.03\00:55:00.90
and he said right
now there is a people
00:55:00.93\00:55:03.20
that I had seal
of the living God,
00:55:03.23\00:55:04.63
but they must be obedient
to all 10 of the commandments
00:55:04.67\00:55:07.30
by My grace and by My strength.
00:55:07.34\00:55:10.11
You can't just say oh, no,
00:55:10.14\00:55:12.57
we don't have to keep the
fourth one, is that really?
00:55:12.61\00:55:15.11
Is it okay to kill?
00:55:15.14\00:55:16.48
Is it okay to commit
adultery? Is it okay?
00:55:16.51\00:55:18.08
You say, oh, we can't do that.
00:55:18.11\00:55:19.45
It's against
the law. What's law?
00:55:19.48\00:55:20.82
God's law.
00:55:20.85\00:55:22.65
James 2:10, "If you
offend in one point,
00:55:22.68\00:55:24.12
you're guilty of all."
00:55:24.15\00:55:25.49
It's time, now
the dust goes away
00:55:25.52\00:55:27.56
and the dirt goes away.
00:55:27.59\00:55:29.89
And we come out
and say God has a sign
00:55:29.92\00:55:31.53
and seal of His
people in the last days.
00:55:31.56\00:55:33.19
It is the seventh day
Sabbath. Shall we pray?
00:55:33.23\00:55:35.20
I'm gonna pray
right now with you.
00:55:35.23\00:55:36.56
Let's pray.
00:55:36.60\00:55:37.93
Loving Father in heaven,
00:55:37.97\00:55:39.30
we really thank
You for Your love.
00:55:39.33\00:55:40.67
We thank You for Your Word.
00:55:40.70\00:55:42.04
Sometimes as painful
00:55:42.07\00:55:43.41
as it might be a little stomping
00:55:43.44\00:55:44.77
on the toes sometimes
00:55:44.81\00:55:46.14
or something that's new,
00:55:46.17\00:55:47.51
we can't quite put it
together I pray Your Holy Spirit
00:55:47.54\00:55:48.88
will take the
mess that I've made
00:55:48.91\00:55:50.25
and put it
straighten in their hearts
00:55:50.28\00:55:51.61
and their minds to
say, in order to please God.
00:55:51.65\00:55:55.32
Jesus said, "If you love
Me, keep My commandments."
00:55:55.35\00:55:59.45
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:55:59.49\00:56:02.72
Hello, and
welcome back, friends.
00:56:02.76\00:56:04.63
Signs given in Scripture
00:56:04.66\00:56:06.16
certainly point to the fact that
00:56:06.19\00:56:07.70
we are living
in the last moments
00:56:07.73\00:56:09.50
of this earth's history.
00:56:09.53\00:56:10.93
Right before the
seventh seal is open
00:56:10.97\00:56:13.17
and Christ
pierces the eastern sky,
00:56:13.20\00:56:15.60
with a vast
array of angelic hosts,
00:56:15.64\00:56:18.24
and with the
voice of the archangel,
00:56:18.27\00:56:20.34
along with the trump of God,
00:56:20.38\00:56:21.91
that will pierce even the
ears of the dead in Christ
00:56:21.94\00:56:25.45
who shall rise first,
00:56:25.48\00:56:27.15
then those of us who
remain with the seal of God
00:56:27.18\00:56:30.62
in their foreheads shall be
caught up together with them
00:56:30.65\00:56:33.76
to meet the Lord in the air,
00:56:33.79\00:56:35.96
and so shall we ever be together
00:56:35.99\00:56:38.43
with our Lord and Savior.
00:56:38.46\00:56:39.79
You can read more about this
00:56:39.83\00:56:41.16
in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.
00:56:41.20\00:56:46.47
So having the
seal of the living God
00:56:46.50\00:56:49.07
should be the
desire of our hearts.
00:56:49.10\00:56:51.87
This should be a matter
of diligent prayer and study
00:56:51.91\00:56:55.08
in order to
receive the latter rain
00:56:55.11\00:56:57.31
and be in this
number who are alive
00:56:57.35\00:57:00.75
and remain at the time
of Christ's second coming,
00:57:00.78\00:57:03.89
or regardless of when we
may take our last breath.
00:57:03.92\00:57:09.06
We strive to be ready.
00:57:09.09\00:57:10.73
We strive to
reflect the image of God
00:57:10.76\00:57:13.26
each and every day
and we pray sincerely,
00:57:13.29\00:57:17.30
that you are
doing the same as well.
00:57:17.33\00:57:19.30
So should you
