From Arcadia, California,
the Carter Report Presents,
00:00:07.62\00:00:10.59
'The Living
Word' around the world.
00:00:10.60\00:00:17.10
Hello, I'm Dave Deno
00:00:17.11\00:00:18.16
for John Carter
in the Carter Report.
00:00:18.17\00:00:20.37
Here to encourage you to
be a part of this ministry,
00:00:20.38\00:00:23.27
to be a partner
in this ministry,
00:00:23.28\00:00:25.99
to know the joy of giving.
00:00:26.00\00:00:28.42
God's word tells us
that it is more blessed
00:00:28.43\00:00:30.77
to give than to
receive and I believe
00:00:30.78\00:00:32.70
that it is more joyful
to give than to receive.
00:00:32.71\00:00:36.71
But the only way that you will
know this is to do it yourself.
00:00:36.72\00:00:39.50
To come and join us in
this wonderful ministry
00:00:39.51\00:00:42.21
of bringing the
gospel to hundreds,
00:00:42.22\00:00:44.41
thousands, tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands of people
00:00:44.42\00:00:48.70
in areas around
the world that perhaps
00:00:48.71\00:00:51.24
you and I may never have
the opportunity to travel to.
00:00:51.25\00:00:54.57
This is a way
that you can support
00:00:54.58\00:00:57.19
the preaching of the gospel,
00:00:57.20\00:00:59.04
that you can
support new lives in Christ.
00:00:59.05\00:01:03.10
Now we're very
grateful for your participation,
00:01:03.11\00:01:05.56
and we want to show
you that appreciation
00:01:05.57\00:01:07.83
by sending
something back to you to say,
00:01:07.84\00:01:10.07
thank you for your gift.
00:01:10.08\00:01:13.18
One would be a terrific book
00:01:13.19\00:01:15.41
that is written by John Carter,
00:01:15.42\00:01:17.02
called the "The
Fate of the Heathen."
00:01:17.03\00:01:19.59
This is the great book
not only for you to read,
00:01:19.60\00:01:21.72
but also to share with
family members and with friends.
00:01:21.73\00:01:24.60
It's very direct,
very to the point.
00:01:24.61\00:01:27.73
And then another book
that John's little shy about
00:01:27.74\00:01:30.23
is the history of John
Carter and the Carter Report.
00:01:30.24\00:01:34.21
You can send your
gift to the Carter Report
00:01:34.22\00:01:36.21

Thank you so much for
being a part of this ministry.
00:02:10.18\00:02:14.61
The topic, the subject
today is "The Gathering Storm."
00:02:18.57\00:02:23.98
During the 1930s in
England, there was a man
00:02:26.53\00:02:31.65
who saw the gathering
storm, nobody else did.
00:02:31.66\00:02:36.29
You know his
name? Winston Churchill.
00:02:36.30\00:02:40.55
That man who
epitomized the English bulldog,
00:02:40.56\00:02:46.66
and his archnemesis was Hitler.
00:02:46.67\00:02:51.44
Did you know, the
people around the world
00:02:51.45\00:02:54.08
in England and
American thought that Hitler
00:02:54.09\00:02:58.66
was the answer to
the prayers of the world?
00:02:58.67\00:03:02.43
They said the
same about Mussolini.
00:03:02.44\00:03:04.15
Hey, he has got the
trains running on time
00:03:04.16\00:03:06.87
which was something in Italy.
00:03:06.88\00:03:09.57
But Hitler met his
match in Churchill.
00:03:12.11\00:03:15.86
Hitler hated Churchill,
because Churchill would say
00:03:15.87\00:03:19.45
to the British Parliament,
00:03:19.46\00:03:21.58
"The Germans are
building up strength
00:03:21.59\00:03:25.24
and we'll have to
fight them again."
00:03:25.25\00:03:27.72
You know, what parliament
did with Winston Churchill?
00:03:27.73\00:03:31.76
They scorned him, they tried
to throw him out of parliament
00:03:31.77\00:03:36.37
they ostracized
him, they mocked him.
00:03:36.38\00:03:39.11
They said, he's just a foolish,
00:03:39.12\00:03:41.68
foolish man, he is an extremist.
00:03:41.69\00:03:45.38
And when Chamberlain came
back from meeting the Fuhrer
00:03:45.39\00:03:49.33
when he got off the plane,
he said in those famous words,
00:03:49.34\00:03:53.22
"There will be peace
in our time, ha, ha, ha."
00:03:53.23\00:03:57.75
And even the American
Ambassador to London said,
00:04:01.05\00:04:06.32
"He is a good
man. He is our friend."
00:04:06.33\00:04:09.19
And his son later became
00:04:11.43\00:04:13.07
the President of
the United States.
00:04:13.08\00:04:16.88
But America and
the world stood back
00:04:16.89\00:04:20.73
and said, "The mans are fool."
00:04:20.74\00:04:23.62
But the world was wrong
and Churchill was right.
00:04:26.35\00:04:31.02
He's described as
the man, the greatest man
00:04:31.03\00:04:36.00
of the 20th century
because of his foresight.
00:04:36.01\00:04:41.47
And when they finally
made him prime minister,
00:04:41.48\00:04:45.99
because they had nobody else
and had timid compromises left
00:04:46.00\00:04:51.46
When they made him prime
minister, his cabinet said,
00:04:51.47\00:04:54.67
"Let's make peace, because
we can't fight the Nazis,
00:04:54.68\00:05:01.44
they've swept over Europe,
00:05:01.45\00:05:03.58
and we'll have to
make an accommodation.
00:05:03.59\00:05:06.66
And Churchill said,
"Never, never, never."
00:05:06.67\00:05:12.58
And of course, some
of you will remember
00:05:13.42\00:05:15.06
the speech where he said,
00:05:15.07\00:05:16.49
"We will fight on the beaches,
at on the landing fields.
00:05:16.50\00:05:21.19
We will fight in the streets.
We will never surrender."
00:05:21.20\00:05:30.06
He saw with the eye
of tremendous insight,
00:05:30.07\00:05:37.36
the gathering storm, he saw it.
00:05:37.37\00:05:43.46
My topic today is
"The Gathering Storm".
00:05:43.47\00:05:49.07
We are about to
enter a tremendous storm
00:05:49.08\00:05:54.10
and the world is not ready.
00:05:54.11\00:05:58.55
We're going to go
through great waves.
00:05:58.56\00:06:00.73
We're going to
experience these winds
00:06:00.74\00:06:03.66
blazing lightening
and roaring thunder.
00:06:03.67\00:06:07.11
Are we ready? I
want you to come over now
00:06:07.12\00:06:09.81
to Matthew 16 verses 1 to
3, which is really the theme.
00:06:09.82\00:06:15.84
Matthew 16 verses 1 down to 3,
"The Pharisees and Sadducees."
00:06:15.85\00:06:24.03
You know, who those folks were?
00:06:24.04\00:06:26.68
They were the religious leaders,
00:06:26.69\00:06:29.72
the leaders of
the people of God.
00:06:29.73\00:06:34.00
"The Pharisees and Sadducees
came to Jesus and tested him
00:06:34.01\00:06:37.90
by asking him to show
them a sign from heaven.
00:06:37.91\00:06:41.81
He replied, 'When
evening comes, you say,
00:06:41.82\00:06:44.80
it will be fair
weather, for the sky is red,
00:06:44.81\00:06:48.07
and in the morning,
today it will be stormy,
00:06:48.08\00:06:51.14
for the sky is red and overcast.
00:06:51.15\00:06:53.50
You know how to interpret
the appearance of the sky,
00:06:53.51\00:06:56.66
but you cannot interpret
the signs of the times.'"
00:06:56.67\00:07:01.26
The religious leaders were blind
00:07:01.27\00:07:07.78
just like most of the
British Parliamentarians
00:07:07.79\00:07:11.30
and the Senators
and the Congressmen
00:07:11.31\00:07:15.55
in the two great democracies,
Britain and America.
00:07:15.56\00:07:19.38
Most of them were blind.
00:07:19.39\00:07:21.92
The religious
leaders had a responsibility
00:07:21.93\00:07:25.68
to lead the
people, but Jesus said,
00:07:25.69\00:07:28.18
"Let them alone, they're
blind leaders of the blind,
00:07:28.19\00:07:31.40
and if you follow them, you
will both fall into the pit."
00:07:31.41\00:07:36.07
When I was a boy of
16 in North Queensland,
00:07:36.08\00:07:40.04
driving a
bulldozer to earn my way
00:07:40.05\00:07:44.81
through Avondale
College, and was the best thing
00:07:44.82\00:07:47.92
that ever happened to
me that I was born into
00:07:47.93\00:07:51.28
what would be
called today a poor home.
00:07:51.29\00:07:56.05
Well, my parents
could not pay my fees
00:07:56.06\00:07:59.26
and there were no scholarships.
00:07:59.27\00:08:02.77
And I was not expecting
00:08:02.78\00:08:04.98
the government to
give me a discount.
00:08:04.99\00:08:09.63
What a different world?
00:08:09.64\00:08:14.59
But about 3
O'clock every afternoon
00:08:14.60\00:08:17.61
as I sat on the seat
of this great bulldozer,
00:08:17.62\00:08:21.44
I love bulldozers,
because you can move stuff.
00:08:21.45\00:08:26.96
I seem to think we need
00:08:26.97\00:08:28.28
a spiritual
bulldozer in the church.
00:08:28.29\00:08:35.33
I would look out towards
the horizon and you would see
00:08:35.34\00:08:38.36
what appeared to be
like are florescent tube.
00:08:38.37\00:08:42.01
You know how it goes?
Crackling back and forth.
00:08:42.02\00:08:44.68
And then I would hear the
soft matters of the coming storm
00:08:44.69\00:08:51.38
and then there would
be a tremendous storm,
00:08:51.50\00:08:55.87
a tropical storm. It
doesn't rain really here.
00:08:55.88\00:08:59.61
When it rains in
Southern California,
00:08:59.62\00:09:03.44
you know, you get a quarter
of an inch and it's an event.
00:09:03.45\00:09:08.71
The Super Doppler
Radar, we've got to attract.
00:09:08.72\00:09:15.50
But they had tremendous
storms and the storms would come
00:09:15.51\00:09:19.18
and the lightening would
flash and the trees would break
00:09:19.19\00:09:22.78
into with the
ferocity of the lightening.
00:09:22.79\00:09:27.21
And after the storm, it
was cool and quite, peaceful.
00:09:27.22\00:09:35.98
After the storm
if you survive it,
00:09:35.99\00:09:39.68
there'll be peace in the valley.
00:09:39.69\00:09:42.46
And today, I'm going
to give you two signs,
00:09:42.47\00:09:48.13
and I give it
to the world church
00:09:48.14\00:09:50.59
and I give it to my
friends in Australia
00:09:50.60\00:09:54.07
and I give it to my
friends in North America,
00:09:54.08\00:09:58.09
and around the world
including Great Britain,
00:09:58.10\00:10:03.97
land of hope and glory.
00:10:03.98\00:10:05.97
Two great signs, the
first one is "The Unholy Fire".
00:10:05.98\00:10:12.90
Come over here to
Revelation 13:11 to 13,
00:10:12.91\00:10:15.78
and please turn to the text.
00:10:15.79\00:10:17.72
This is a Bible reading church
bring your Bibles to church.
00:10:17.73\00:10:22.60
Revelation 13 verses 11 to
13, Revelation 11: 11 to 13.
00:10:22.61\00:10:29.14
"Then I saw another
beast, coming out of the earth.
00:10:29.15\00:10:32.52
He had two horns like a lamb,"
that represents the gospel.
00:10:32.53\00:10:37.95
"But he spoke like a dragon."
00:10:37.96\00:10:41.04
He looks like the kingdom of God
00:10:41.05\00:10:43.78
but he is the kingdom of devil.
00:10:43.79\00:10:47.22
"He exercised all the authority
00:10:47.23\00:10:49.17
of the first
beast on his behalf,
00:10:49.18\00:10:51.62
and made the earth
and its inhabitants
00:10:51.63\00:10:54.31
worship the first beast,
00:10:54.32\00:10:55.71
whose fatal
wound had been healed.
00:10:55.72\00:10:59.06
And he performed
great and miraculous signs,
00:10:59.07\00:11:02.82
even causing fire to
come down from heaven to earth
00:11:02.83\00:11:06.99
in full view of men.
00:11:07.00\00:11:09.07
"Because of the
signs he deceived the world
00:11:09.08\00:11:13.31
into getting the
mark of the beast.
00:11:13.32\00:11:17.81
This lamb like
beast is a great power
00:11:17.82\00:11:22.46
that arises in the last days
00:11:22.47\00:11:26.27
and that has the backing
of apostate Christianity.
00:11:26.28\00:11:33.84
It's a latter day power
00:11:33.85\00:11:35.00
but it is
supremely a religious power.
00:11:35.01\00:11:40.08
This bring down
fire from heaven to earth
00:11:40.09\00:11:45.41
in the sight of
man is an illusion.
00:11:45.42\00:11:51.20
It's an illusion
to Elijah the prophet.
00:11:51.21\00:11:55.59
When Elijah the prophet
confronted the priests of Baal,
00:11:55.60\00:11:59.59
the man of God was used
by God in a marvelous way
00:11:59.60\00:12:06.43
and God poured out fire.
00:12:06.44\00:12:12.04
Antichrist is going
to counterfeit the fire.
00:12:12.05\00:12:16.39
Come over here
to Malachi Chapter 4
00:12:16.40\00:12:18.38
and the world is
going to accept it,
00:12:18.39\00:12:22.63
because they
don't read their Bibles.
00:12:22.64\00:12:25.23
Malachi 4 verse 5,
00:12:25.24\00:12:27.04
"Sea, I will send
you the prophet Elijah
00:12:27.05\00:12:31.22
before that great and
dreadful day of the Lord comes."
00:12:31.23\00:12:37.00
Now listen very carefully,
00:12:37.01\00:12:40.59
If you've heard me preach,
00:12:40.60\00:12:42.53
you should
understand what this means
00:12:42.54\00:12:44.83
the return of
the prophet Elijah.
00:12:44.84\00:12:48.32
Elijah comes
back not as a person,
00:12:48.33\00:12:52.94
but as a great message from God.
00:12:52.95\00:12:57.47
Return of the prophet Elijah
is the return of the spirit
00:12:57.48\00:13:02.55
and the power and
the message of Elijah.
00:13:02.56\00:13:05.92
Don't have time to prove
it to you, but that's true.
00:13:05.93\00:13:10.65
Now God is going to
have His Elijah message,
00:13:10.66\00:13:18.01
but is going to be counterfeited
00:13:18.02\00:13:20.26
and is going to be
counterfeited with unholy fire.
00:13:20.27\00:13:26.48
Elijah you will
remember lived in a time
00:13:26.49\00:13:32.91
of national apostasy in
God's church called Israel.
00:13:32.92\00:13:39.97
Come to First Kings
Chapter 18:16 to 21.
00:13:39.98\00:13:43.77
Turn to every text,
00:13:43.78\00:13:46.40
First Kings Chapter
18 verse 16 to 21 please.
00:13:46.41\00:13:55.16
"So Obadiah went to
meet Ahab, and told him,
00:13:55.17\00:14:00.77
and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
00:14:00.78\00:14:04.85
When he saw
Elijah, he said to him,
00:14:04.86\00:14:06.76
'Is that you, you
troubler of Israel.'"
00:14:06.77\00:14:09.74
Plain preachers will
always be called troublers.
00:14:09.75\00:14:16.21
"I have not made troubled
for Israel,' Elijah replied.
00:14:16.22\00:14:19.54
'But you and your
father's family have.
00:14:19.55\00:14:22.54
You have abandoned
the Lord's commandments
00:14:22.55\00:14:25.24
and have followed the Baals.
00:14:25.25\00:14:28.34
Now summon the
people for all over Israel
00:14:28.35\00:14:30.87
to meet me on Mount Carmel.
00:14:30.88\00:14:33.55
And bring the four hundred
and fifty prophets of Baal
00:14:33.56\00:14:36.79
and the four
hundred prophets of Asherah,
00:14:36.80\00:14:39.45
who eat at Jezebel's table."
00:14:39.46\00:14:41.19
Heaps and heaps of ministers.
00:14:41.20\00:14:44.83
"So Ahab sent word
throughout all Israel
00:14:44.84\00:14:47.60
and assembled the
prophets on Mount Carmel.
00:14:47.61\00:14:50.53
Elijah went before
the people and said,
00:14:50.54\00:14:53.34
"How long will you
waver between two opinions?
00:14:53.35\00:14:58.74
If the Lord is God, follow him,
00:14:58.75\00:15:01.95
but if Baal is God, follow him."
00:15:01.96\00:15:06.81
I want you to know
there was no lack of religion,
00:15:06.82\00:15:13.90
they had it laid down
was ministers and priests
00:15:13.91\00:15:18.65
and religious ceremonies,
00:15:18.66\00:15:21.03
but it was not
the religion of God.
00:15:21.04\00:15:24.74
They had forsaken
the commandments of God.
00:15:24.75\00:15:28.91
And the Bible tells us
00:15:28.92\00:15:30.89
that Elijah
comes in the last days
00:15:30.90\00:15:34.26
to call an
apostate church and world
00:15:34.27\00:15:39.48
back to God and back to
the commandments of God.
00:15:39.49\00:15:46.39
And God poured out
His fire upon Elijah
00:15:46.40\00:15:50.17
as He will do
again in these last days.
00:15:50.18\00:15:57.79
Satan will counterfeit the work.
00:15:57.80\00:16:00.91
For every truth that God
has, Satan has a counterfeit.
00:16:00.92\00:16:06.38
Instead of the Bible tradition,
00:16:06.39\00:16:10.46
instead of
righteousness by faith,
00:16:10.47\00:16:12.73
righteousness by
works, instead of the Sabbath,
00:16:12.74\00:16:16.00
the first day Sunday,
instead of baptism, sprinkling,
00:16:16.01\00:16:20.10
instead of a
high priest in heaven,
00:16:20.11\00:16:22.27
a high priest in Rome,
00:16:22.28\00:16:24.56
instead of confession to
God, confession to a priest.
00:16:24.57\00:16:32.30
So he is the
great counterfeiter.
00:16:32.31\00:16:37.45
Come over here with me
00:16:37.46\00:16:38.48
to Acts Chapter 2,
verses 1 down to 3.
00:16:38.49\00:16:43.43
Acts Chapter 2 in the
Bible verses 1 down to 3,
00:16:43.44\00:16:50.27
"When the day of Pentecost came,
00:16:50.28\00:16:54.96
they were all
together in one place.
00:16:54.97\00:16:58.54
Suddenly a sound like
the blowing of a violent
00:16:58.55\00:17:01.41
wind came from heaven
and filled the whole house
00:17:01.42\00:17:04.63
where they were sitting.
00:17:04.64\00:17:07.04
They saw what seemed
to be tongues of fire
00:17:07.05\00:17:09.88
that separated and came
to rest on each of them.
00:17:09.89\00:17:12.91
"Fire came down."
00:17:12.92\00:17:15.33
All of them were
filled with the Holy Spirit
00:17:15.34\00:17:18.19
and began to speak in
other tongues, all languages,
00:17:18.20\00:17:22.70
as the Spirit enabled them."
00:17:22.71\00:17:26.36
Now if you read the story
of that original Pentecost,
00:17:26.37\00:17:35.06
there was fire.
00:17:35.07\00:17:38.87
There was the strong
preaching of the word of God.
00:17:38.88\00:17:44.61
There was the
preaching of the prophecies
00:17:44.62\00:17:49.60
and there were
tremendous conversions
00:17:49.61\00:17:53.09
and 3,000 were
baptized in that day.
00:17:53.12\00:17:59.43
All of this is
going to be counterfeited.
00:17:59.44\00:18:03.17
Miracles, signs and wonders.
00:18:03.18\00:18:07.86
Let me come to my
favorite high-tech blackboards.
00:18:07.87\00:18:13.02
Bible talks about miracles
00:18:13.03\00:18:17.41
and He does
them miracles, signs,
00:18:17.42\00:18:23.47
tremendous signs, and wonders,
00:18:23.48\00:18:29.08
and the fire
comes down from heaven
00:18:29.09\00:18:32.52
and that is the
fire of the Holy Spirit.
00:18:32.53\00:18:38.28
Satan is going
to counterfeit it.
00:18:41.56\00:18:44.79
Come over here to
Second Thessalonians
00:18:44.80\00:18:46.45
and if you don't know your Bible
00:18:46.46\00:18:48.24
my friend you're
going to be deceived,
00:18:48.25\00:18:50.11
I'm telling you today.
00:18:50.12\00:18:51.57
Come over here to
Second Thessalonians
00:18:51.58\00:18:53.83
Chapter 2 verses 9 and onwards.
00:18:53.84\00:18:56.87
Second Thessalonians 2
and verses 9 and onwards,
00:18:56.88\00:19:01.77
"The coming of the lawless one
00:19:01.78\00:19:05.26
will be in accordance
with the work of Satan
00:19:05.27\00:19:08.44
displayed in all
kinds of counterfeit
00:19:08.45\00:19:12.78
miracles, signs and wonders."
00:19:12.79\00:19:16.14
And people are
going to raise their hands
00:19:16.15\00:19:19.05
and say, hallelujah.
00:19:19.06\00:19:22.63
"And in every sort of evil
00:19:22.64\00:19:24.47
that deceives
those who are perishing.
00:19:24.48\00:19:30.03
They perish because
they refused to love
00:19:30.04\00:19:31.56
the truth and so be saved.
00:19:31.57\00:19:35.56
For this reason God
sends them a powerful delusion
00:19:35.57\00:19:41.82
so that they
will believe the lie."
00:19:41.83\00:19:48.32
I was reading recently
about a great religious meeting.
00:19:48.33\00:19:57.45
And I'm preaching
today from my heart,
00:19:57.46\00:19:59.85
because I
believe that some of you
00:19:59.86\00:20:02.05
sitting here in
this congregation
00:20:02.06\00:20:04.01
are going to be deceived
unless you change your ways.
00:20:04.02\00:20:09.81
I believe this, I
have this conviction.
00:20:09.82\00:20:15.40
And I know somebody said to me,
00:20:15.41\00:20:17.13
but of course when you preach
00:20:17.14\00:20:19.17
nobody thinks you
are talking to them.
00:20:19.18\00:20:22.93
I'm talking to you.
00:20:22.94\00:20:26.41
I'm talking to you,
00:20:26.42\00:20:30.63
and I'm talking to you.
00:20:30.64\00:20:34.44
Reading about
this religious meeting
00:20:34.45\00:20:37.29
all the folks were
talking in tongues.
00:20:37.30\00:20:41.90
And then the
preacher of the front said,
00:20:41.91\00:20:45.83
I feel the power
here, they got him a chair,
00:20:45.84\00:20:49.64
he sat down because the
sermon had gone so long.
00:20:49.65\00:20:52.30
He sat down and he
said, "I feel the power,
00:20:52.31\00:20:57.10
it's like
electricity and I can feel it
00:20:57.11\00:21:01.20
flowing through my limbs
and coming up my fingers."
00:21:01.21\00:21:07.43
Famous American preacher
of first American congregation
00:21:07.44\00:21:13.71
and he said come
forward to be touched
00:21:13.72\00:21:16.27
if you are a crippled bring
them forward, bring the sick,
00:21:16.28\00:21:19.94
and as they came
forward as he touched people
00:21:19.95\00:21:24.91
they were knocked
down by electricity.
00:21:24.92\00:21:30.65
And then the Garwas
auditorium was filled
00:21:30.66\00:21:35.01
with a mighty rushing sound,
00:21:35.02\00:21:39.64
a huge rushing sound like wind
00:21:39.65\00:21:42.75
and the preacher shouted
it out at the top of his voice
00:21:42.76\00:21:45.90
as the people were
falling down under the power.
00:21:45.91\00:21:49.35
Would you be there?
00:21:49.36\00:21:54.37
The people as they were
falling down under the power,
00:21:54.38\00:21:57.99
the preacher shouted
at the top of his voice
00:21:58.00\00:22:00.45
people, people it's
here, people its here.
00:22:00.54\00:22:08.16
He was right, it is here.
00:22:08.17\00:22:12.48
The great
counterfeit to the work of God,
00:22:12.49\00:22:19.37
people it's hear.
00:22:19.38\00:22:25.75
Listen, God in the last days
00:22:25.76\00:22:29.41
is going to have
a true awakening,
00:22:29.42\00:22:33.96
He might come soon.
00:22:33.97\00:22:35.47
Revelation 18
verses 1 down to 4.
00:22:35.48\00:22:39.42
Revelation 18, but it is not
going to be a superficial thing
00:22:39.43\00:22:43.26
based upon
religious emotionalism.
00:22:43.27\00:22:47.29
"After this I saw another
angel coming down from heaven.
00:22:47.30\00:22:51.65
He had great authority,
00:22:51.66\00:22:53.64
and the earth was
illuminated by his splendor."
00:22:53.65\00:22:57.04
This is a mighty
outpouring of the spirit of God.
00:22:57.05\00:23:04.29
"With a mighty
voice he shouted."
00:23:04.30\00:23:06.66
You know, I've been told
00:23:06.67\00:23:08.99
over and over
again even by my friends,
00:23:09.00\00:23:15.94
this is not the age
to be doing any shouting.
00:23:15.95\00:23:23.48
They say we want
pastors who talk like this,
00:23:23.49\00:23:26.88
I'll read it to you.
00:23:26.89\00:23:27.92
"With a mighty
voice", wait oh, no.
00:23:30.96\00:23:34.20
"With a mighty voice he shouted,
00:23:34.21\00:23:36.63
"Fallen! Fallen is
Babylon the Great!"
00:23:36.64\00:23:40.51
God spare us.
00:23:40.52\00:23:43.22
"Fallen! Fallen is
Babylon the Great!"
00:23:43.23\00:23:46.17
She has become a home for demons
00:23:46.18\00:23:48.78
and a haunt for
every evil spirit,
00:23:48.79\00:23:51.79
and a haunt for every
unclean and detestable bird.'"
00:23:51.80\00:23:57.27
Verse 4, this is talking
00:23:57.28\00:23:58.74
about an apostate
religious organization.
00:23:58.75\00:24:02.01
"Then I heard another
voice from heaven say,
00:24:02.02\00:24:04.14
"Come out of her, my people"
00:24:04.15\00:24:07.77
God has his people
in apostate churches
00:24:07.78\00:24:14.56
far more in those
churches than our churches.
00:24:14.57\00:24:20.71
And in the last days
when the spirit of God comes
00:24:20.72\00:24:23.88
and God has
miracles and signs and wonder
00:24:23.89\00:24:28.90
and when God has
fire a vast multitude
00:24:28.91\00:24:34.09
is going to come out
of those apostate churches
00:24:34.10\00:24:37.45
and I've got
something else to tell you.
00:24:37.46\00:24:41.64
A great number of
people who profess
00:24:41.65\00:24:46.48
to believe the truth are
going to leave the church.
00:24:46.49\00:24:52.81
They're just
going to be suck down
00:24:52.82\00:24:55.30
into the vortex of deception
and because of lukewarmness
00:24:55.31\00:25:00.28
they're going to
leave the church.
00:25:00.29\00:25:03.25
But as they leave the church,
00:25:03.26\00:25:06.05
a multitude is going to
come in and take their places.
00:25:06.06\00:25:11.55
So God is going to have
00:25:11.56\00:25:15.04
a mighty
movement in the last days.
00:25:15.05\00:25:20.36
Let me talk to you little bit
about God's message of truth.
00:25:20.37\00:25:26.43
Now, I got more
to tell you today
00:25:26.44\00:25:28.74
than I am going to get through.
00:25:28.75\00:25:30.68
I am gonna talk about the
coming financial collapse,
00:25:30.69\00:25:35.10
but I want you
to come over here,
00:25:35.11\00:25:36.57
would you
please to Revelation 14
00:25:36.58\00:25:38.88
because this identifies
00:25:38.89\00:25:43.18
the true people
in the last days.
00:25:43.19\00:25:45.83
Revelation 14
verse 6 and onwards.
00:25:45.84\00:25:48.11
"Then I saw another
angel flying in midair,
00:25:48.12\00:25:52.11
he had the eternal
gospel to proclaim to those
00:25:52.12\00:25:55.54
who live on the earth."
00:25:55.55\00:25:57.90
The last message my
friend is a proclamation
00:25:57.91\00:26:00.86
of not of a new gospel
but the eternal gospel.
00:26:00.87\00:26:04.40
"To every nation,
tribe, language and people.
00:26:04.41\00:26:07.60
He said in a loud voice."
This is loud preacher again.
00:26:07.61\00:26:12.12
"Fear God and give him glory,
00:26:12.13\00:26:15.64
because the hour of
his judgment has come..."
00:26:15.65\00:26:17.83
Judgment Ala.
00:26:17.84\00:26:20.54
I was talking to Elder Salazar,
00:26:20.55\00:26:22.52
the secretary of the
Southern California Conference,
00:26:22.53\00:26:25.55
wonderful man.
00:26:25.56\00:26:27.24
We were talking about
the state of the world
00:26:27.25\00:26:29.26
and the state of
the church, Wednesday.
00:26:29.27\00:26:32.00
He said, "What I
cannot get out my mind
00:26:32.01\00:26:37.38
is that there is a
video running all the time."
00:26:37.39\00:26:41.79
He said, "There is a
video running of every life
00:26:41.80\00:26:46.78
and one day it's
going to be shown
00:26:46.79\00:26:49.27
to the universe on
big super screens."
00:26:49.28\00:26:53.13
People there, I don't
wanna hear about that.
00:26:53.14\00:26:55.73
Whether you wanna hear
about it or not it's the truth,
00:26:55.74\00:26:58.39
there is a judgment day.
00:26:58.40\00:27:01.55
And God's church has been
00:27:01.56\00:27:03.01
called to preach
the judgment hour.
00:27:03.02\00:27:06.54
Then He says "...Worship him
00:27:06.55\00:27:08.92
who made the heavens, the earth,
00:27:08.93\00:27:10.60
the sea and the
springs of water."
00:27:10.61\00:27:13.26
I do not believe in the idea
00:27:13.27\00:27:17.93
that life on this
planet spontaneously generated.
00:27:17.94\00:27:23.42
Don't believe that.
00:27:23.43\00:27:25.55
I don't believe the idea
that over billions of years
00:27:25.56\00:27:29.53
on this planet something
which was nothing all of a,
00:27:29.54\00:27:34.13
not all of a sudden
but by tiny little steps
00:27:34.14\00:27:37.76
became a human
being, don't believe that.
00:27:37.77\00:27:41.45
I believe in a God who made us,
00:27:41.46\00:27:45.19
and because He made us
we are accountable to Him.
00:27:45.20\00:27:50.32
You and I ought to believe this.
00:27:50.33\00:27:51.92
And that's why we're going
to face God in the judgment.
00:27:51.93\00:27:55.37
People say that, that's
against the gospel, no its not.
00:27:55.38\00:27:59.73
The only thing
that can save you and me
00:27:59.74\00:28:01.90
in the judgment is
not our good works,
00:28:01.91\00:28:04.09
but the blood of Jesus.
00:28:04.10\00:28:06.85
But if you don't
have any good works
00:28:06.86\00:28:08.89
it's because you don't
have the blood of Jesus.
00:28:08.90\00:28:13.33
You get it. We're
not good to be saved,
00:28:13.34\00:28:16.28
but we're saved to be good.
00:28:16.29\00:28:19.29
We are not good to be saved,
00:28:19.30\00:28:20.66
but was saved to be good.
00:28:20.67\00:28:24.64
I wish that was original.
00:28:24.65\00:28:26.96
Verse 8, "A second
angel followed and said,
00:28:26.97\00:28:29.22
"Fallen! Fallen is
Babylon the Great."
00:28:29.23\00:28:31.90
Verse 9, "A third
angel followed them and said,
00:28:31.91\00:28:34.19
'If anyone worships
the beast and his image."
00:28:34.20\00:28:36.64
Oh, no, don't preach
that anymore Brother Carter.
00:28:36.65\00:28:39.74
"And receives his mark on
the forehead or on the hand."
00:28:39.75\00:28:42.84
Now, don't preach that anymore.
00:28:42.85\00:28:45.10
I want to preach what
God tells me to preach.
00:28:45.11\00:28:48.07
Verse 12, "This
calls for patient endurance
00:28:48.08\00:28:50.85
on the part of the saints
00:28:50.86\00:28:52.24
who obey God's commandments
and remain faithful to Jesus."
00:28:52.25\00:28:58.26
Let me tell you folks something.
00:28:58.27\00:29:01.28
Do you wanna be
filled with the spirit,
00:29:01.29\00:29:04.23
you got to be
filled with the word.
00:29:04.24\00:29:08.25
I meet all sorts
of folks they say,
00:29:08.26\00:29:10.07
"I'm filled with the Holy Ghost,
00:29:10.08\00:29:12.66
but they're not
filled with the work.
00:29:12.67\00:29:15.42
If you are filled
with the Holy Spirit,
00:29:15.43\00:29:17.92
you got be filled with the word.
00:29:17.93\00:29:21.44
There's something that
encourages me in this church
00:29:21.45\00:29:24.29
and my old heart sometimes
00:29:24.30\00:29:25.58
needs a little
bit of encouragement.
00:29:25.59\00:29:28.84
On a Wednesday night,
during our Wednesday night
00:29:28.85\00:29:31.46
Bible study we got a bunch,
00:29:31.47\00:29:33.67
we've got young
people starting to come,
00:29:33.68\00:29:36.85
because now their
parents may not be coming,
00:29:36.86\00:29:39.36
but they're coming
00:29:39.37\00:29:40.61
because they wanted
to filled with the word.
00:29:40.62\00:29:43.14
So the Bible tells
me God has got a message
00:29:46.50\00:29:50.50
and that message
is the Elijah message.
00:29:50.51\00:29:54.70
Now what about this
tongues business people say,
00:29:54.71\00:29:57.26
I don't understand it.
00:29:57.27\00:29:59.37
They say what about,
you know, we gone along,
00:29:59.38\00:30:01.92
we've been taken
along to churches,
00:30:01.93\00:30:04.01
big congregations
where people say its here.
00:30:04.02\00:30:08.38
And people will
break out in this babbling
00:30:08.39\00:30:10.83
that nobody knows about.
00:30:10.84\00:30:12.57
I can't understand
it's an unknown utterance
00:30:12.58\00:30:15.86
and it is my
friend unknown to man
00:30:15.87\00:30:18.21
and also unknown to God.
00:30:18.22\00:30:19.97
Come over here to Acts Chapter 2
00:30:19.98\00:30:21.49
verses 4 and onwards.
00:30:21.50\00:30:23.72
Acts Chapter 2
verses 4 and onwards
00:30:23.73\00:30:26.63
Now I am not going
to give Acts of Jesus
00:30:26.64\00:30:28.70
or First Corinthians
14, we don't have time.
00:30:28.71\00:30:33.21
Acts Chapter 2.
00:30:33.22\00:30:34.41
But I will show little
bit of truth here today
00:30:34.42\00:30:38.14
on this subject, Acts
2 verses 4 and onwards.
00:30:38.15\00:30:42.48
"All of them were
filled with the Holy Spirit
00:30:42.49\00:30:44.40
and began to speak in
other tongues languages
00:30:44.41\00:30:47.44
as the Spirit enabled them.
00:30:47.45\00:30:50.39
Now there were
staying in Jerusalem
00:30:50.40\00:30:52.02
God-fearing Jews from
every nation under heaven.
00:30:52.03\00:30:54.79
When they heard this sound,
00:30:54.80\00:30:56.86
a crowd came
together in bewilderment,
00:30:56.87\00:30:59.66
because each one
heard them speaking."
00:30:59.67\00:31:02.63
What did he say?
00:31:02.64\00:31:03.93
In, come on, come
on in his own language.
00:31:03.94\00:31:07.39
Utterly amazed, they asked,
00:31:07.40\00:31:08.71
"Are not all these
men who speak Galileans?
00:31:08.72\00:31:11.10
Then how is it that
each of us hears them
00:31:11.11\00:31:13.44
in his own native language?
00:31:13.45\00:31:15.22
Parthians, Medes and Elamites,
residents of Mesopotamia,
00:31:15.23\00:31:19.02
Judea and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
00:31:19.03\00:31:22.35
Phrygia and Pamphylia,
00:31:22.36\00:31:24.10
Egypt and the parts
of Libya near Cyrene,
00:31:24.11\00:31:26.97
visitors from Rome,
00:31:26.98\00:31:28.22
both Jews and
converts to Judaism,
00:31:28.23\00:31:32.26
Cretans and Arabs--
we hear them declaring
00:31:32.27\00:31:34.39
the wonders of God
in their own tongues!"
00:31:34.40\00:31:40.24
The true gift of tongues
is the supernatural ability
00:31:40.25\00:31:47.96
to preach in a language
00:31:47.97\00:31:50.25
that you don't
normally understand,
00:31:50.26\00:31:53.60
so souls can come to Christ.
00:31:53.61\00:31:55.02
It wasn't so people will
feel good about themselves.
00:31:57.82\00:32:02.66
It wasn't so
people would say like
00:32:02.67\00:32:05.27
one of the most famous
preachers in North America,
00:32:05.28\00:32:08.65
I heard him say it.
00:32:08.66\00:32:10.95
He said, "I know that a lot
of people today are taking drugs
00:32:10.96\00:32:14.51
and they say
I've got to have it."
00:32:14.52\00:32:17.86
You know, yesterday
afternoon I went out
00:32:17.87\00:32:20.41
to my favorite
spot in Thousand Oaks
00:32:20.42\00:32:22.71
went up in the mountains.
00:32:22.72\00:32:24.46
And as I was up in the
mountains along came a ranger,
00:32:24.47\00:32:27.59
beautifully
dressed, lovely uniform
00:32:27.60\00:32:29.92
packing a big revolver.
00:32:29.93\00:32:32.67
I said to him, "Young man,
00:32:32.68\00:32:34.21
what are you doing
up here with that gun."
00:32:34.22\00:32:36.99
He said, "I am not here because
00:32:37.00\00:32:43.27
our friends," he
didn't call them friends.
00:32:43.28\00:32:47.05
But the big cartel from
down south is growing drugs
00:32:47.06\00:32:51.41
up in these
mountains of Thousand Oaks.
00:32:51.42\00:32:56.25
I say, "You're kidding,
it's so beautiful here."
00:32:56.26\00:32:59.58
He said, "No I'm
not kidding you."
00:33:01.87\00:33:04.19
And he said, "That's
why I am carrying a gun."
00:33:04.20\00:33:11.34
Now this man this
great preacher said,
00:33:11.35\00:33:14.03
he said, "I don't take drugs."
00:33:14.04\00:33:16.50
and he said, "I don't need
it, I've got something better."
00:33:16.51\00:33:20.07
And he said, "It
makes me feel wonderful."
00:33:20.08\00:33:23.12
And
00:33:23.13\00:33:25.50
he said, "I got
to have it every day,
00:33:25.51\00:33:30.53
I can't live without
it and when I get it,
00:33:30.54\00:33:33.29
he said it lifts me up
but he said I got to have it."
00:33:33.30\00:33:38.67
Did you know here
in Southern California
00:33:38.68\00:33:40.51
where everything
goes and nothing goes.
00:33:40.52\00:33:44.97
Groups get together on
beaches in Southern California
00:33:44.98\00:33:48.78
and they don't say Bible text,
00:33:48.79\00:33:51.25
they say any word and
they repeated over and over
00:33:51.26\00:33:55.77
and then they
burst out in tongues,
00:33:58.34\00:34:00.56
they're not even believers.
00:34:00.57\00:34:04.25
Not even believers.
00:34:04.26\00:34:06.10
I believe that
what is going on today
00:34:09.75\00:34:11.75
what is sweeping America
and the world is a counterfeit.
00:34:11.76\00:34:16.82
Come over here to
First Corinthians 14:22.
00:34:16.83\00:34:19.34
I am amazed that
many of our people
00:34:19.35\00:34:21.40
go along to those churches.
00:34:21.41\00:34:23.37
I am amazed because
they say those churches
00:34:23.38\00:34:26.42
can teach us how
to preach the gospel.
00:34:26.43\00:34:28.46
My friend, they're
not even preaching,
00:34:28.47\00:34:29.94
they're not
preaching the true gospel,
00:34:29.95\00:34:32.05
not preaching the
Three Angels' Messages.
00:34:32.06\00:34:34.65
First Corinthians 14,
"God has got His people there
00:34:34.66\00:34:37.30
but God wants
to bring them out."
00:34:37.31\00:34:39.77
And Paul says in
First Corinthians 14,
00:34:39.78\00:34:42.31
in one of the text.
"Tongues, then, are a sign,
00:34:42.32\00:34:45.40
not for believers
but unbelievers..."
00:34:45.41\00:34:49.72
In those great churches
00:34:49.73\00:34:50.84
they say they are
sign to believers.
00:34:50.85\00:34:54.63
I ran a great campaign
00:34:54.64\00:34:55.97
in the great city of
Melbourne in Australia.
00:34:55.98\00:34:59.47
A bunch of spiriters
came to those meetings
00:34:59.48\00:35:02.78
dressed in black
and by the grace of God
00:35:02.79\00:35:06.34
the spirit of God
so overwhelmed them
00:35:06.35\00:35:08.83
that they are all
baptized on the stage
00:35:08.84\00:35:10.80
in that great
auditorium, the Dallas Brooks.
00:35:10.81\00:35:13.28
Glory be the God.
00:35:13.29\00:35:14.87
But I baptized a man who
was a bouncer in a nightclub.
00:35:16.63\00:35:20.44
You know what a bouncer is.
00:35:20.45\00:35:22.20
Well you don't behave
yourself you get bounced out.
00:35:22.21\00:35:26.62
Well, he said, he
told me the story.
00:35:26.63\00:35:29.12
He said, "I was
tied up in Spiritism."
00:35:29.13\00:35:35.20
And he said, "The spirits
used to talk through me".
00:35:35.21\00:35:40.22
This is before he came
00:35:40.23\00:35:41.39
to the Great Dallas
Brooks in Melbourne.
00:35:41.40\00:35:43.22
So he said I went
along to a meeting
00:35:43.23\00:35:46.22
and they taught me
how to speak in tongues,
00:35:46.23\00:35:50.88
but then he said,
00:35:50.89\00:35:52.45
they said they will
get me away from Spiritism.
00:35:52.46\00:35:55.77
But he said, "As I
started to talk in tongues
00:35:55.78\00:36:01.17
I've been afraid before,
but I'm doubly afraid now.
00:36:01.18\00:36:04.94
I said why?
00:36:04.95\00:36:06.79
He said the voice that
came out in that meeting
00:36:06.80\00:36:09.45
was the same voice
that came out in Spiritism.
00:36:09.46\00:36:13.31
I said, "Well its
time for you to ask God
00:36:17.70\00:36:21.20
to come into your life
00:36:21.21\00:36:22.45
and take this so called
babbling out of your life
00:36:22.46\00:36:25.71
and He was baptized.
00:36:25.72\00:36:27.54
Glory be the God,
God broke the power.
00:36:27.55\00:36:32.05
Did you know there's going to be
00:36:32.06\00:36:34.16
a counterfeit second
coming, did you know this.
00:36:34.17\00:36:38.35
The Bible tells this in
Second Thessalonians Chapter 2.
00:36:38.36\00:36:42.32
There is going to be and
we've read most of that text.
00:36:42.33\00:36:46.65
It says, "The lawless one
00:36:46.66\00:36:49.06
is going to
counterfeit everything
00:36:49.07\00:36:51.30
that Jesus did
miracles, signs, and wonders."
00:36:51.31\00:36:55.25
I have a book here
that I brought 50 years ago.
00:36:55.26\00:36:58.68
I recommend it to you,
00:36:58.69\00:37:01.24
don't be like the
people around you, read.
00:37:01.25\00:37:06.83
This book written by
a little American lady,
00:37:06.84\00:37:12.90
the Great Controversy.
00:37:12.91\00:37:14.50
"As the crowning act in
the great drama of deception,
00:37:14.51\00:37:18.18
Satan himself
will personate Christ.
00:37:18.19\00:37:21.57
The church is long professed
00:37:21.58\00:37:23.32
to look for the Savior's advent
00:37:23.33\00:37:25.15
as the
consummation of her hopes.
00:37:25.16\00:37:27.74
Now the great
deceiver will make it appear
00:37:27.75\00:37:30.02
that Christ has come.
00:37:30.03\00:37:31.50
In different parts of the earth,
00:37:31.51\00:37:32.98
Satan will
manifest himself among men
00:37:32.99\00:37:35.59
as a majestic being
of dazzling brightness,
00:37:35.60\00:37:38.95
resembling the
description of glory
00:37:38.96\00:37:40.98
that is described by
John in the Revelation.
00:37:40.99\00:37:45.84
Most amazing thing
mortal eyes have ever seen.
00:37:45.85\00:37:49.79
The shout of triumph
rings out upon the air,
00:37:49.80\00:37:52.13
"Christ has
come! Christ has come!"
00:37:52.14\00:37:54.73
The people prostrate themselves
00:37:54.74\00:37:56.67
in adoration before Him,
00:37:56.68\00:37:58.50
while He lifts His hands,
His voice is soft and subdued,
00:37:58.51\00:38:02.98
it's full of melody,
heals the sick, everything else.
00:38:02.99\00:38:08.20
And maybe you're gonna
be down on your knees too.
00:38:10.32\00:38:13.90
You know why?
00:38:13.91\00:38:17.24
because you
don't read your Bible.
00:38:17.25\00:38:20.30
You don't come to Bible study.
00:38:20.31\00:38:23.26
You've heard it so
often and you know it all,
00:38:23.27\00:38:26.55
and your heart has
got as hard as a rock.
00:38:29.04\00:38:32.59
So when I preach
these things you say oh,
00:38:32.60\00:38:35.02
he's doing alright this
morning, what about you?
00:38:35.03\00:38:41.54
Satan is preparing the world,
00:38:41.55\00:38:43.25
people don't
read as they used to.
00:38:43.26\00:38:45.27
They put
emotions in place of truth
00:38:45.28\00:38:48.17
and minds are being destroyed
by the Lords of Hollywood.
00:38:48.18\00:38:55.40
Minds are being destroyed
00:38:55.41\00:38:58.01
by the
unbelieving Lords of Hollywood
00:38:58.02\00:39:05.12
who take the
name of Jesus in vain
00:39:05.13\00:39:08.08
every time they
have an opportunity.
00:39:08.09\00:39:10.73
But they won't say it
about Mohammed or Buddha,
00:39:10.74\00:39:16.14
but they blaspheme the
name of Jesus over and over
00:39:16.15\00:39:20.10
and over because they hate Him.
00:39:20.11\00:39:23.81
You're gonna
support that industry,
00:39:23.82\00:39:25.85
I wouldn't want to
support that industry.
00:39:25.86\00:39:29.71
Now the coming
economic earthquake,
00:39:29.72\00:39:32.58
get ready for a shock.
00:39:32.59\00:39:35.37
Gonna put up a little
graph here on the blackboard.
00:39:35.38\00:39:38.76
I want to see
some of these things.
00:39:38.77\00:39:41.78
America started to get in
trouble starting back 1970
00:39:41.79\00:39:48.83
she then had a debt of
00:39:48.84\00:39:52.72
I think it was 800
million not a billion.
00:39:52.73\00:39:59.86
Something
terribly has gone wrong,
00:39:59.87\00:40:02.93
because the deficit went
along like this for a while
00:40:02.94\00:40:07.92
and then in the last few years,
00:40:07.93\00:40:13.07
not just the last one year,
00:40:13.08\00:40:16.10
the debt has gone up like this
00:40:16.11\00:40:20.20
and now it is
about 14.5 trillion.
00:40:20.21\00:40:26.81
You know, what a trillion
is? It's a 1000 billion.
00:40:26.82\00:40:32.57
Now billion is a 1000 million,
00:40:32.58\00:40:38.63
and a trillion
is a 1000 billion.
00:40:38.64\00:40:45.07
Now I'm going to
share with you some stuff.
00:40:45.08\00:40:48.09
This is the Federal debt,
00:40:48.10\00:40:51.56
look up to top on
the left hand side
00:40:51.57\00:40:54.65
and you can see it
spinning. Have a look at it.
00:40:54.66\00:40:59.12
At present 14.143
trillion, 305 million.
00:40:59.13\00:41:08.78
Look at it, looming.
Look at it, changing.
00:41:08.79\00:41:14.55
Gonna live with it. I
want you to think about it.
00:41:14.56\00:41:17.79
I want you to think about it.
00:41:17.80\00:41:19.74
It is now out of control.
00:41:19.75\00:41:24.04
Let me tell you folks something.
00:41:24.05\00:41:25.92
During the 1960s, the country
that was the greatest creditor
00:41:25.93\00:41:32.91
was the United
States of America.
00:41:32.92\00:41:36.07
Now she is the greatest debtor.
00:41:36.08\00:41:40.42
Back in the mid
1990s, longtime ago now,
00:41:40.43\00:41:44.51
I preached a sermon on
the coming financial collapse.
00:41:44.52\00:41:50.37
People laughed at me.
Ministers criticized me.
00:41:50.38\00:41:53.94
I received some nasty letters.
00:41:53.95\00:41:57.80
I did it because of research,
00:41:57.81\00:41:59.86
because our nation
cannot sustain such debt.
00:41:59.87\00:42:04.72
The United States
has the greatest debt
00:42:04.73\00:42:08.24
in the history
of the human race.
00:42:08.25\00:42:13.29
And Congress, it's
got to get together
00:42:13.30\00:42:15.44
and they've got to
lay raise the debt level
00:42:15.45\00:42:19.64
so the government officials
can go to China and Russia
00:42:19.65\00:42:23.80
and other
countries and beg money.
00:42:23.81\00:42:28.94
And if Congress
will not pass it,
00:42:28.95\00:42:31.65
then the United States
Government will close down.
00:42:31.66\00:42:36.89
They say it can't happen.
00:42:36.90\00:42:38.40
Hey, huh, huh, yes it can.
00:42:38.41\00:42:42.77
It happened to the
Roman Empire, you know.
00:42:42.78\00:42:45.74
You know, Britain had an empire
00:42:45.75\00:42:47.85
far bigger than
anything America has got.
00:42:47.86\00:42:51.15
The sun did not sink
on the British Empire.
00:42:51.16\00:42:55.54
That was the
birthplace to the reformation,
00:42:55.55\00:42:58.48
but the great
British nation did something.
00:42:58.49\00:43:02.01
She fought too many wars
00:43:02.02\00:43:04.21
and she spent too much
money that she didn't know.
00:43:04.22\00:43:09.15
And she is no
longer Great Britain.
00:43:09.16\00:43:13.19
She is the island
that is called England.
00:43:13.20\00:43:16.69
Come over here to
Daniel 12 verse 1 to 4,
00:43:16.70\00:43:20.55
Daniel 12: 1-4,
00:43:20.56\00:43:23.98
"At that time
Michael, the great prince
00:43:23.99\00:43:25.99
who protects your
people, will arise.
00:43:26.00\00:43:28.85
There will be a time of distress
00:43:28.86\00:43:30.29
such as has not happened
00:43:30.30\00:43:32.31
from the beginning
of nations until now.
00:43:32.32\00:43:35.62
But at that time
your people--everyone
00:43:35.63\00:43:37.81
whose name is found written
in the book will be delivered.
00:43:37.82\00:43:40.95
Multitudes who sleep in the
dust of the earth will awake,
00:43:40.96\00:43:44.21
some to everlasting life
00:43:44.22\00:43:45.61
others to shame and
everlasting contempt.
00:43:45.62\00:43:48.55
Those who are wise will shine
00:43:48.56\00:43:50.50
like the
brightness of the heaven,
00:43:50.51\00:43:52.50
and those who lead
many to righteousness,
00:43:52.51\00:43:55.14
like the stars
for ever and ever.
00:43:55.15\00:43:57.87
But you, Daniel, close up
00:43:57.88\00:43:59.70
and seal the words of the scroll
00:43:59.71\00:44:01.76
until the time of the end.
00:44:01.77\00:44:03.69
Many will go here and
there to increase knowledge."
00:44:03.70\00:44:08.90
Now I tell you some folks,
tell all you folks something.
00:44:08.91\00:44:13.82
Back in the 1840s,
00:44:13.83\00:44:15.66
when the Adventist
Movement was raised up by God,
00:44:15.67\00:44:21.64
they were group of
American young people,
00:44:21.65\00:44:24.10
who got together
to study their Bibles.
00:44:24.11\00:44:27.27
They were not old
fogies with white hair.
00:44:27.28\00:44:31.33
This is a later shot
when they were getting old,
00:44:31.34\00:44:35.75
but they were
teenagers basically,
00:44:35.76\00:44:38.64
conventional wisdom
taught the Doctrine of Darwin,
00:44:38.65\00:44:42.41
the doctrine in the
church of an evitable progress,
00:44:42.42\00:44:46.31
the things would
get better and better
00:44:46.32\00:44:49.44
and when the world was
converted Christ would come.
00:44:49.45\00:44:52.70
He'll come to a wonderful world.
00:44:52.71\00:44:56.00
The early Adventist said, no,
it's not going to get better.
00:44:56.01\00:45:00.01
It is going to get worse
00:45:00.02\00:45:01.69
and we're going to
have a time in troubles
00:45:01.70\00:45:03.29
such as never was
since there was a nation,
00:45:03.30\00:45:05.92
and then Jesus is going to come.
00:45:05.93\00:45:10.79
I believe as a Christian
in fiscal responsibility.
00:45:10.80\00:45:17.81
I don't believe,
it is right to spend
00:45:17.82\00:45:21.47
when I cannot pay my debts.
00:45:21.48\00:45:24.89
I believe in the
land of the pilgrim pride,
00:45:24.90\00:45:29.89
I believe it.
00:45:29.90\00:45:31.42
I believe in the
America of the pilgrims.
00:45:31.43\00:45:36.51
I believe in
honesty and pay your bills.
00:45:36.52\00:45:42.27
I'm not getting
much applause here.
00:45:42.28\00:45:45.55
I believe in
honesty and pay your bills
00:45:45.56\00:45:49.41
and I believe it is a
Christian's responsibility
00:45:49.42\00:45:53.00
to get out of debt.
00:45:53.01\00:45:55.18
But what has
happened, my friend,
00:45:55.19\00:45:57.57
we seem to be
deluded and deceived
00:45:57.58\00:46:02.06
and the storm is coming.
00:46:02.07\00:46:07.07
And everybody
says, oh, don't worry,
00:46:07.08\00:46:09.03
it's going to be okay.
00:46:09.04\00:46:10.84
We'll be okay when Jesus comes.
00:46:10.85\00:46:13.27
Come over here to
Romans 13: 7 and 8.
00:46:13.28\00:46:15.61
Let me give you a text.
00:46:15.62\00:46:18.21
Romans 13: 7 and 8, "Give
everyone what you owe him:
00:46:18.22\00:46:23.44
if you owe taxes, pay
taxes; if revenue, then revenue;
00:46:23.45\00:46:28.41
if respect, then
respect; if honor, then honor.
00:46:28.42\00:46:33.44
Verse 8, Let no
debt remain outstanding,
00:46:33.45\00:46:37.55
except the continuing
debt to love one another,
00:46:37.56\00:46:40.89
for he who loves his fellowman
has fulfilled the law."
00:46:40.90\00:46:45.29
The King James Version
says, "Owe no man anything."
00:46:45.30\00:46:52.04
So the Bible says,
00:46:52.05\00:46:54.12
but this system is not
based upon the word of God.
00:46:54.13\00:46:59.14
This is based upon
irresponsibility and gluttony.
00:46:59.15\00:47:03.97
I believe in a return
00:47:11.25\00:47:13.00
to American old
fashion values, hard work.
00:47:13.01\00:47:17.24
I've had a Latino man
building some fences for me.
00:47:17.25\00:47:22.58
He is one of the best workers
00:47:22.59\00:47:23.95
I've seen
anywhere, honest, good.
00:47:23.96\00:47:28.20
I believe in hard
work, honesty, truthfulness,
00:47:28.21\00:47:30.80
self reliance, independence,
00:47:30.81\00:47:33.94
and generosity to help the poor.
00:47:33.95\00:47:37.58
Now come over
quickly to Ezekiel 7,
00:47:37.59\00:47:41.01
over here to Ezekiel Chapter 7,
00:47:41.02\00:47:43.35
listen up folks
because you need to hear this.
00:47:43.36\00:47:46.51
Ezekiel 7 and verse 15,
00:47:46.52\00:47:50.30
"Outside is the sword,
inside are plague and famine."
00:47:50.31\00:47:54.24
Verse 19, "They will throw
their silver into the streets,
00:47:54.25\00:47:57.47
and their gold will
be an unclean thing.
00:47:57.48\00:48:00.03
Their silver and
gold will not be able
00:48:00.04\00:48:03.62
to save them in the
day of the Lord's wrath.
00:48:03.63\00:48:07.29
They will not
satisfy their hunger
00:48:07.30\00:48:09.68
or fill their stomachs with it,
00:48:09.69\00:48:12.86
for it has made
them stumble into sin.
00:48:12.87\00:48:14.98
They were proud of
their beautiful jewelry
00:48:14.99\00:48:17.61
and so forth."
00:48:17.62\00:48:19.52
Now here is an
article, gonna give it you.
00:48:19.53\00:48:24.59
I don't say, it's
gonna happen like this.
00:48:24.60\00:48:27.81
I don't know exactly
how its going to happen.
00:48:27.82\00:48:32.23
But I want to read some
statements from a commentator.
00:48:32.24\00:48:41.78
I reference our
success and experience
00:48:41.79\00:48:43.75
with Wall Street's latest crisis
00:48:43.76\00:48:45.50
because we believe there is
an even bigger crisis lurking,
00:48:45.51\00:48:48.90
something that will shake
the very foundation of America.
00:48:48.91\00:48:53.14
In short, I want to
talk about a specific event
00:48:53.15\00:48:56.09
that will take place in
America's very near future,
00:48:56.10\00:48:59.14
which could
actually bring our country
00:48:59.15\00:49:00.77
and our way of
life to a grinding halt.
00:49:00.78\00:49:03.96
The looming crisis is related
00:49:03.97\00:49:05.69
to the financial crisis of 2008,
00:49:05.70\00:49:08.40
but it is
infinitely more dangerous,
00:49:08.41\00:49:10.82
as I'll explain in this letter.
00:49:10.83\00:49:12.98
As this problem comes to a head,
00:49:12.99\00:49:14.89
I expect there will
be riots in the streets,
00:49:14.90\00:49:17.99
arrests on an
unprecedented scale,
00:49:18.00\00:49:20.69
martial law,
enforced by the U.S. military.
00:49:20.70\00:49:24.74
No one believed
me three years ago
00:49:24.75\00:49:26.57
when I said the world's
largest mortgage bankers
00:49:26.58\00:49:29.94
Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac would soon go bankrupt.
00:49:29.95\00:49:33.04
No one believed me
00:49:33.05\00:49:34.04
when I said GM would
soon be bankrupt as well.
00:49:34.05\00:49:38.10
The next phase in this crisis
00:49:38.11\00:49:40.21
will threaten
our very way of life.
00:49:40.22\00:49:43.68
The savings of
millions will be wiped out.
00:49:43.69\00:49:46.87
This disaster will change
your business and your work.
00:49:46.88\00:49:50.13
It will dramatically
affect your savings account,
00:49:50.14\00:49:53.17
investment, and retirement.
00:49:53.18\00:49:56.21
As for me, I'm more certain
about this looming crisis
00:49:56.22\00:50:00.40
than I've been about
anything else in my life.
00:50:00.41\00:50:03.77
You see, I can tell you
with 100 percent certainty
00:50:03.78\00:50:07.58
that most
Americans will not know
00:50:07.59\00:50:09.44
what to do when
commodity prices,
00:50:09.45\00:50:11.64
things like milk,
bread, and gasoline soar.
00:50:11.65\00:50:14.82
They won't know what
to do when banks close
00:50:14.83\00:50:17.52
and their credit
cards stop working,
00:50:17.53\00:50:19.94
or when they're
not allowed to buy gold
00:50:19.95\00:50:21.86
or foreign currencies,
or when food stamps fail.
00:50:21.87\00:50:25.44
In short, our way of life
in America is about to change.
00:50:25.45\00:50:31.88
Even if all U.S.
citizens were taxed
00:50:31.89\00:50:35.87
100 percent of their income,
00:50:35.88\00:50:38.01
it would still not be enough
to balance the Federal budget.
00:50:38.02\00:50:43.05
We'd still have to borrow money,
00:50:43.06\00:50:45.02
just to maintain the status quo.
00:50:45.03\00:50:48.87
Now, I don't know when
this is going to happen?
00:50:48.88\00:50:55.32
But I do know
00:50:58.32\00:50:59.67
we are about to
enter the time of trouble
00:51:03.03\00:51:07.41
such as never was
since it was a nation.
00:51:07.42\00:51:12.81
Now you can leave this sermon
00:51:12.82\00:51:14.03
and rush out just to have a meal
00:51:14.04\00:51:16.24
and say, oh, wasn't it
interesting this morning?
00:51:16.25\00:51:18.89
Boy, he was in fine federal.
00:51:18.90\00:51:21.48
Oh, I enjoyed
Pam and Jimmy Rhodes,
00:51:21.49\00:51:25.56
pass me the salt.
00:51:25.57\00:51:30.19
Give me another
burger. Listen folks.
00:51:30.20\00:51:35.80
The clock is ticking.
00:51:35.81\00:51:39.02
The pioneers were right.
00:51:39.03\00:51:42.96
The storm is approaching.
00:51:50.59\00:51:55.01
I like that boy
sitting on the tractor seat,
00:51:55.02\00:51:58.54
I look out and I can see
the lightening, flickering,
00:51:58.55\00:52:04.00
and I can listen and I
hear the muttering thunder.
00:52:04.01\00:52:09.42
And I'm aware that most in
the world in the government,
00:52:09.43\00:52:14.59
in the church, in the state,
00:52:14.60\00:52:18.91
do not want to hear a strong
message from the word of God.
00:52:18.92\00:52:25.24
They don't want a person
like Winston Churchill saying,
00:52:25.25\00:52:30.66
we're about to have a storm
00:52:30.67\00:52:34.52
that will wipe everything away,
00:52:34.53\00:52:37.97
except one thing,
00:52:37.98\00:52:39.30
our relationship with Christ
00:52:43.09\00:52:44.95
that you get through your daily
devotions, our prayer life,
00:52:48.12\00:52:54.79
and the serious
reading of scripture.
00:52:54.80\00:52:57.26
Therefore, I say to you,
00:53:03.50\00:53:08.36
today on the
authority of the word of God,
00:53:08.37\00:53:13.18
it is later than you think.
00:53:13.19\00:53:17.70
Now it's the
time to seek the Lord
00:53:17.71\00:53:22.73
while we have opportunity,
00:53:22.74\00:53:27.65
amen. Let us kneel.
00:53:27.66\00:53:30.81
Our Father, we come on
our knees to seek your faith.
00:53:40.21\00:53:45.04
We thank you, then
in the holy scriptures,
00:53:49.40\00:53:52.10
You've given us
the signs of the times.
00:53:52.11\00:53:56.58
The world is not ready for it.
00:53:56.59\00:53:59.30
Many of the
churches not ready for it.
00:53:59.31\00:54:03.92
Whether we're ready for it
or not, it's going to happen.
00:54:03.93\00:54:09.04
We pray that you
will come into our hearts
00:54:09.05\00:54:12.50
and help us to change
our pattern of living.
00:54:12.51\00:54:19.39
Help us to
change these old habits,
00:54:19.40\00:54:22.76
and help us to get new habits.
00:54:22.77\00:54:25.72
Whereby we will be
unable to sleep at night
00:54:25.73\00:54:28.14
if we've not read
Your word during that day.
00:54:28.15\00:54:33.82
Help us to realize today
00:54:33.83\00:54:35.21
this is not a
Hollywood television show.
00:54:35.22\00:54:40.92
And the last thing I
want as Your spokesman today
00:54:40.93\00:54:43.77
is compliments from
people coming to me and saying,
00:54:43.78\00:54:46.25
that was nice,
because it's not nice.
00:54:46.26\00:54:50.92
It is the word of the Lord.
00:54:50.93\00:54:54.69
Help us to know that
00:54:54.70\00:54:57.63
while the world will
soon be filled with despair.
00:54:57.64\00:55:01.12
God's people will
be filled with joy,
00:55:01.13\00:55:03.05
unspeakable and full of glory.
00:55:03.06\00:55:05.66
Because I know
that after the storm,
00:55:05.67\00:55:10.23
there will be a beautiful peace,
00:55:10.24\00:55:11.90
because Jesus will come.
00:55:11.91\00:55:15.44
Bless this congregation today.
00:55:15.45\00:55:18.31
Thank you for the young
people who are here today.
00:55:18.32\00:55:20.65
Take sin out of our hearts,
washes in the blood of Christ.
00:55:24.70\00:55:32.63
Reach down from
heaven and change the gears.
00:55:32.64\00:55:36.67
So bless everybody today
00:55:39.86\00:55:43.04
that may this sermon
never get out of our minds.
00:55:43.05\00:55:49.07
May we know that
the Lord is coming?
00:55:49.08\00:55:54.15
We worship you, we
bless you, we praise you,
00:55:54.16\00:55:57.01
we thank you, we give you
glory in Jesus name, amen.
00:55:57.02\00:56:04.09
After you've been
there ten thousand years
00:56:04.10\00:56:10.72
A million,
maybe two, look for me
00:56:10.73\00:56:19.64
for I will be there too
00:56:19.65\00:56:28.46
When we've been
there ten thousand years
00:56:28.47\00:56:40.49
Bright shining as the sun
00:56:40.50\00:56:52.57
We've no less days
to sing God's praise
00:56:52.58\00:57:04.81
Than when we first begun
00:57:04.82\00:57:16.98
After you've been
there ten thousand years
00:57:16.99\00:57:23.50
A million,
maybe two, look for me
00:57:23.51\00:57:32.56
for I will be there too
00:57:32.57\00:57:41.95
I will be there too
00:57:41.96\00:57:54.57
