From Arcadia, California,
the Carter Report presents
00:00:07.58\00:00:10.56
'The Living
Word' around the world.
00:00:10.57\00:00:12.91
Hello, I'm Dave Deno
00:00:17.72\00:00:18.72
for John Carter
in the Carter Report
00:00:18.73\00:00:20.87
here to encourage you to
be a part of this ministry,
00:00:20.88\00:00:23.76
to be a partner
in this ministry,
00:00:23.77\00:00:26.49
to know the joy of giving.
00:00:26.50\00:00:29.04
God's word tells us
that it is more blessed
00:00:29.05\00:00:31.28
to give than to receive
00:00:31.29\00:00:32.68
and I believe
that it is more joyful
00:00:32.69\00:00:34.99
to give than to receive.
00:00:35.00\00:00:37.17
But the only way
that you will know
00:00:37.18\00:00:38.60
this is to do
with yourself to come
00:00:38.61\00:00:40.42
and join us in
this wonderful ministry
00:00:40.43\00:00:42.90
of bringing the
gospel to hundreds,
00:00:42.91\00:00:44.98
thousands, tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands of people
00:00:44.99\00:00:49.22
in areas around the world
00:00:49.23\00:00:50.86
that perhaps you
and I may never have
00:00:50.87\00:00:52.97
the opportunity to travel to.
00:00:52.98\00:00:55.34
This is a way
that you can support
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.93
the preaching of the gospel
00:00:57.94\00:00:59.78
that you can
support new lives in Christ.
00:00:59.79\00:01:03.71
Now we're very
grateful for your participation
00:01:03.72\00:01:06.36
and we want to show
you that appreciation
00:01:06.37\00:01:08.39
by sending
something back to you to say,
00:01:08.40\00:01:10.71
thank you for your gift.
00:01:10.72\00:01:13.66
One would be a terrific book
that is written by John Carter,
00:01:13.67\00:01:17.60
called 'The
Fate of the Heathen.'
00:01:17.61\00:01:19.99
This is a great book
not only for you to read,
00:01:20.00\00:01:22.38
but also to share
00:01:22.39\00:01:23.38
with family
members and with friends.
00:01:23.39\00:01:25.23
It's very direct
very to the point.
00:01:25.24\00:01:28.30
And then another book
that John is little shy about
00:01:28.31\00:01:31.04
is 'The History of John
Carter and The Carter Report.'
00:01:31.05\00:01:34.73
You can send your gift
00:01:34.74\00:01:35.97
to the Carter
Report at P.O. Box 1900,
00:01:35.98\00:01:39.62
Thousand Oaks, California 91358.
00:01:39.63\00:01:44.31
In Australia, you
can send it to Terrigal,
00:01:44.32\00:01:47.74
New South Wales and
the box is on the screen.
00:01:47.75\00:01:51.45
I encourage you to be
a part of this ministry.
00:01:51.46\00:01:54.84

the Carter Report Box 1900,
00:01:54.85\00:01:58.72
Thousand Oaks, California 91358.
00:01:58.73\00:02:02.53
And in Australia at
Terrigal, New South Wales.
00:02:02.54\00:02:06.96
Again the Box
number is on the screen.
00:02:06.97\00:02:10.10
Thank you, thank you
00:02:10.11\00:02:11.43
so much for being a
part of this ministry.
00:02:11.44\00:02:14.63
I'm going to talk today about
00:02:19.70\00:02:21.25
'The Great
Antichrist of Bible Prophecy'.
00:02:21.26\00:02:25.84
And I'm so glad that
you've joined us today.
00:02:25.85\00:02:28.32
Are you glad to be here today?
00:02:28.33\00:02:30.02
Did you see the
snow on the mountains
00:02:30.03\00:02:33.26
at the back of our church?
Do you think it look good?
00:02:33.27\00:02:37.61
I personally
thought it looked very cold.
00:02:37.62\00:02:40.78
And it's going to
get colder tonight.
00:02:40.79\00:02:43.81
And they say the snow
level may get down to 500 feet.
00:02:43.82\00:02:48.86
So get ready for it, folks.
00:02:48.87\00:02:51.26
May I welcome today
a very beautiful lady
00:02:51.27\00:02:55.05
and a special
guest, Melissa Disney.
00:02:55.06\00:02:59.38
Melissa, welcome here today.
00:03:02.50\00:03:06.41
Now, come over here close.
00:03:06.42\00:03:07.91
She's--
00:03:07.92\00:03:08.91
she's apart of the
great Walt Disney family,
00:03:12.03\00:03:17.81
so we're really glad
00:03:17.82\00:03:18.79
that she's apart of the
great Walt Disney family.
00:03:18.80\00:03:22.97
But she's no
longer Melissa Disney.
00:03:22.98\00:03:26.90
I'm sorry, folks. Her name--
00:03:26.91\00:03:29.39
her proper name
now is Melissa James
00:03:29.40\00:03:34.68
'cause she just
herself married so yeah.
00:03:34.69\00:03:38.97
And she-- she married Ryan
00:03:38.98\00:03:43.69
so she's
00:03:43.70\00:03:44.90
Mrs. Ryan James Disney.
00:03:44.91\00:03:52.54
That's correct. We got
married October 15th of 2010.
00:03:52.55\00:03:58.57
And we've been married now
just a little over four months
00:03:58.58\00:04:03.27
and it's been
wonderful, thank you.
00:04:03.28\00:04:05.28
Bless you, and we're
glad that you're here today
00:04:05.29\00:04:08.05
and we look
forward to the music.
00:04:08.06\00:04:09.65
Thank you for coming.
00:04:09.66\00:04:10.65
Well there's a dark
and a troubled side of life
00:04:22.16\00:04:27.25
There's a bright
and a sunny side too
00:04:27.26\00:04:32.14
Though we meet with
the darkness and strife
00:04:32.15\00:04:37.36
The sunny side we also may view
00:04:37.37\00:04:42.35
So keep on the sunny
side, always on the sunny side
00:04:42.36\00:04:47.71
Keep on the sunny side of life
00:04:47.72\00:04:52.20
It will help us every day,
it will brighten all the way
00:04:52.21\00:04:57.10
If we keep on the
sunny side of life.
00:04:57.11\00:05:02.42
The storm and fury broke today
00:05:02.43\00:05:06.82
Crushing hopes
we cherish so dear
00:05:06.83\00:05:12.09
And the clouds and the
storms will in time pass away
00:05:12.10\00:05:17.23
The sun again will
shine bright and clear
00:05:17.24\00:05:21.71
If we keep on the sunny
side, always on the sunny side
00:05:21.72\00:05:27.55
Keep on the sunny side of life
00:05:27.56\00:05:31.43
It will help us every day,
it will brighten all the way
00:05:31.44\00:05:36.57
If we'll keep on
the sunny side of life
00:05:36.58\00:05:40.29
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
00:05:43.56\00:05:46.04
If we keep on, keep
on the sunny side of life
00:05:46.05\00:05:51.20
Let us greet with a
song of hope each day
00:05:51.21\00:05:55.87
Though the
moments be cloudy or fair
00:05:55.88\00:06:00.62
Let us trust in
our Savior always
00:06:00.63\00:06:06.10
Who keep us
every one, in His care
00:06:06.11\00:06:11.24
Keep on the sunny side,
always on the sunny side
00:06:11.25\00:06:16.11
Keep on the sunny side of life
00:06:16.12\00:06:20.58
It will help us every day,
it will brighten all the way
00:06:20.59\00:06:25.20
If we'll keep on
the sunny side of life
00:06:25.21\00:06:29.10
If we'll keep on
the sunny side of life
00:06:29.11\00:06:33.78
I don't believe
in just having faith.
00:06:41.54\00:06:46.65
What's faith anyhow?
Faith is simply believing.
00:06:46.66\00:06:51.64
Let's say if you're
believing the wrong stuff.
00:06:51.65\00:06:56.83
Faith is great if you've got
faith in reality in the truth.
00:06:56.84\00:07:03.44
Now, we're calling these
series of five super Saturdays.
00:07:03.45\00:07:08.26
We're calling the series
00:07:08.27\00:07:09.40
'A Close
Encounter of the First Kind'
00:07:09.41\00:07:12.30
not the third kind, of course.
00:07:12.31\00:07:13.56
But the first kind
means the most important kind.
00:07:13.57\00:07:17.44
The most important
kind is to find out
00:07:17.45\00:07:20.65
that there is a God who loves us
00:07:20.66\00:07:23.76
and a God who cares for us,
00:07:23.77\00:07:25.89
because in this world a
tremendous lot of people
00:07:25.90\00:07:29.01
have lost faith in God,
and thus they don't have
00:07:29.02\00:07:33.33
any purpose for their lives.
00:07:33.34\00:07:36.15
If you listen to
this meeting today
00:07:36.16\00:07:37.94
and taken this material,
I wanna say this to you,
00:07:37.95\00:07:42.28
it's almost impossible
for a person to listen
00:07:42.29\00:07:46.26
to this material
and to see the evidence
00:07:46.27\00:07:48.73
and not believe that
there is a personal God.
00:07:48.74\00:07:51.88
Today we gonna talk about
00:07:51.89\00:07:53.40
one of the greatest
prophecies in the Bible.
00:07:53.41\00:07:55.32
It's called.
We've called the topic
00:07:55.33\00:07:57.57
'The Great
Antichrist of Bible Prophecy'.
00:07:57.58\00:08:00.82
I'm talking today primarily
to an American audience
00:08:00.83\00:08:03.68
so this telecast will
be seen around the world,
00:08:03.69\00:08:07.61
but in America,
most folks are completely
00:08:07.62\00:08:10.82
oblivious to the truth
00:08:10.83\00:08:12.40
and the fact that the
pioneers of this country,
00:08:12.41\00:08:15.95
the founding
fathers of this country
00:08:15.96\00:08:18.18
believed in this great
prophecy and they taught it
00:08:18.19\00:08:21.32
as you're gonna hear it
today. You 're going to say,
00:08:21.33\00:08:24.41
"Well, no, no, nobody really
in America would believe this,
00:08:24.42\00:08:27.79
because it is so controversial.
00:08:27.80\00:08:30.44
America was founded by people
00:08:30.45\00:08:34.54
who believed what
you're gonna hear today
00:08:34.55\00:08:37.67
and it was the
understanding of this prophecy
00:08:37.68\00:08:40.52
that made America
the greatest nation
00:08:40.53\00:08:43.43
under God's blue sky.
00:08:43.44\00:08:46.79
Now the first great
truth I want you to know
00:08:46.80\00:08:48.86
after that little preamble
00:08:48.87\00:08:50.19
is this the
greatest truth in the Bible
00:08:50.20\00:08:52.33
and we're gonna
use the Bible today.
00:08:52.34\00:08:54.12
The greatest truth
in the Bible my friends,
00:08:54.13\00:08:57.21
is not the truth
about antichrist,
00:08:57.22\00:08:59.95
but the truth about Christ.
00:08:59.96\00:09:01.59
Amen! We believe in Christ.
00:09:01.60\00:09:04.72
We believed that
Christ is the way,
00:09:04.73\00:09:06.79
the truth and the life.
00:09:06.80\00:09:08.24
And we believe that a
person cannot know himself
00:09:08.25\00:09:11.60
and he cannot find happiness
00:09:11.61\00:09:13.39
and peace and satisfaction
unless he knows Christ.
00:09:13.40\00:09:17.61
And this prophecy today
will give us a realization
00:09:17.62\00:09:20.80
that there is a God
00:09:20.81\00:09:22.67
and this God sent
His Son into this world.
00:09:22.68\00:09:25.37
And the greatest truth about
00:09:25.38\00:09:26.68
this God is
that He loves people.
00:09:26.69\00:09:29.39
I want you to come over here
00:09:29.40\00:09:30.39
to Romans Chapter 5 and
verse 8 in the New Testament.
00:09:30.40\00:09:34.75
Romans Chapter 5 and we
use the Bible in this church,
00:09:34.76\00:09:39.38
because we believe it's
God's revelation of truth.
00:09:39.39\00:09:43.87
Romans Chapter 5 and verse 8.
00:09:43.88\00:09:48.39
One of the greatest people
00:09:48.40\00:09:49.80
who've ever lived in the
history of the human race,
00:09:49.81\00:09:52.32
Paul said, "But God demonstrates
00:09:52.33\00:09:55.21
His own love for us in this,
While we were still sinners,
00:09:55.22\00:09:59.78
Christ died for us."
00:09:59.79\00:10:01.57
I want you to know this
00:10:01.58\00:10:04.10
even if you can't
follow the prophecy,
00:10:04.11\00:10:07.12
even if you
can't understand about
00:10:07.13\00:10:08.83
the great beast of Daniel 7.
00:10:08.84\00:10:10.87
The lion, the bear,
the leopard and the monster
00:10:10.88\00:10:13.18
and the little
horn. Even though you say,
00:10:13.19\00:10:15.26
"I just can't understand it."
00:10:15.27\00:10:17.44
You can understand
this God loves you.
00:10:17.45\00:10:21.18
Jesus died for you.
00:10:21.19\00:10:23.35
The greatest truth in
the Bible is that there's God
00:10:23.36\00:10:26.41
and He's not a
monster but He's a person,
00:10:26.42\00:10:29.16
He's a real
person and He loves you.
00:10:29.17\00:10:32.09
He thinks about
you. He cares for you
00:10:32.10\00:10:35.08
and He has the
solution to your problems.
00:10:35.09\00:10:38.81
And so today, as we
talk about the antichrist,
00:10:38.82\00:10:41.47
let us realize it
comes from the hand of a God
00:10:41.48\00:10:44.44
who loves us.
We're going to notice
00:10:44.45\00:10:46.96
the identification marks
of the biblical antichrist.
00:10:46.97\00:10:50.67
And the first truth is that the
biblical antichrist here he is.
00:10:50.68\00:10:55.35
He is a sinister counterfeit.
00:10:55.36\00:10:59.08
I want you to take your Bibles
00:10:59.09\00:11:00.37
and turn to Second
Thessalonians Chapter 2
00:11:00.38\00:11:03.45
and verses 3 and 4 dear
hearts and gentle people.
00:11:03.46\00:11:08.74
Second Thessalonians
Chapter 2 and verse 3 and 4
00:11:08.75\00:11:14.85
and Paul here talks
about the antichrist.
00:11:14.86\00:11:18.70
Second Thessalonians
2, 3, and 4, he said,
00:11:18.71\00:11:22.51
"Don't let anyone
deceive you in any way,
00:11:22.52\00:11:30.16
for that day" that's
the day of Christ's return,
00:11:30.17\00:11:33.08
"Will not come
until the rebellion occurs
00:11:33.09\00:11:37.73
and the man of
lawlessness is revealed,
00:11:37.74\00:11:42.16
the man doomed to destruction.
00:11:42.17\00:11:44.86
He will oppose and will
exalt himself over everything
00:11:44.87\00:11:49.87
that is called
God or is worshiped,
00:11:49.88\00:11:53.73
so that he sets
himself up in God's temple,
00:11:53.74\00:11:57.80
proclaiming himself to be God."
00:11:57.81\00:12:02.48
Now, when the
communist were ruling the world,
00:12:02.49\00:12:07.09
most folks in
this part of the world
00:12:07.10\00:12:09.37
said the
antichrist was communism.
00:12:09.38\00:12:11.43
They were wrong.
00:12:11.44\00:12:14.29
Other people today have
said in this part of the world,
00:12:14.30\00:12:17.50
"Well, certainly not Russia.
00:12:17.51\00:12:20.16
We know the gossip Russia
00:12:20.17\00:12:21.67
is no longer ruling the
world as a communist nation.
00:12:21.68\00:12:24.57
But maybe it's that
great power it's China,
00:12:24.58\00:12:31.18
because China
doesn't believe in Christ.
00:12:31.19\00:12:33.11
It's an atheistic
place. But it's not China.
00:12:33.12\00:12:38.14
And other people have said,
00:12:38.15\00:12:39.51
"Well, maybe it's a
power in the Middle East,
00:12:39.52\00:12:41.87
some power that
wants to attack America."
00:12:41.88\00:12:44.18
No, it's not that at all.
00:12:44.19\00:12:47.17
The Bible says
that the antichrist.
00:12:47.18\00:12:50.13
Here is the first point,
00:12:50.14\00:12:51.35
the antichrist is
in the temple of God.
00:12:51.36\00:12:55.16
The antichrist is in the church
00:12:55.17\00:12:59.37
and therefore
antichrist is a counterfeit.
00:12:59.38\00:13:06.97
Well, he is a
counterfeit Christian power.
00:13:06.98\00:13:14.82
He's a power that
if you were to see him
00:13:18.21\00:13:21.05
and if you didn't
understand this prophecy,
00:13:21.06\00:13:23.13
you would say,
"Halleluiah, Praise the Lord!"
00:13:23.14\00:13:26.88
This is really God's
church. So, don't forget it.
00:13:26.89\00:13:31.56
It's not me saying
this, the Bible says
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.88
that the antichrist is a power
00:13:34.89\00:13:37.87
that is found inside
the Christian church.
00:13:37.88\00:13:42.83
As you know I'd been
to Russia many times.
00:13:42.84\00:13:47.07
In fact, I've
been there 40 times
00:13:47.08\00:13:50.78
and something that has
been very common in Russia
00:13:50.79\00:13:54.38
not so much today, but
it has been counterfeiting
00:13:54.39\00:13:58.79
dollar bills and
100 dollar bills.
00:13:58.80\00:14:02.25
That is a little
more subtle than that,
00:14:05.92\00:14:09.75
'cause that's not subtle at all.
00:14:09.76\00:14:13.38
Antichrist lurks in
the garb of religion.
00:14:13.39\00:14:19.87
He does all the talk
but he doesn't do the walk.
00:14:21.49\00:14:25.80
And because people do not
understand the scriptures,
00:14:25.81\00:14:31.12
they're going to be deceived.
00:14:31.13\00:14:33.91
Let me say to my
beloved American friends
00:14:33.92\00:14:36.33
here today in our church.
00:14:36.34\00:14:37.39
Let me say this to
you, and the visitors
00:14:37.40\00:14:39.57
who maybe here
today. Listen to this.
00:14:39.58\00:14:43.79
The greatest
danger facing us today
00:14:43.80\00:14:47.58
is the dumping down of religion.
00:14:47.59\00:14:52.36
The dumping down of
religion where it's all hype,
00:14:52.37\00:14:56.68
and it's all
spin, and it's all talk,
00:14:56.69\00:14:59.86
and its' all
emotion, and it's all feeling.
00:14:59.87\00:15:04.76
And when you go into a
church or a place of worship,
00:15:04.77\00:15:08.41
the preacher in so
many words tells you
00:15:08.42\00:15:11.95
to check your
brains in at the door.
00:15:11.96\00:15:16.42
And so the
dumping down of religion
00:15:16.43\00:15:20.38
and specifically Christianity
00:15:20.39\00:15:22.92
prepares the world
for the great deception.
00:15:22.93\00:15:26.32
And so, the Bible-- and so,
00:15:29.12\00:15:30.79
that is why we want you to
be intellectually convinced
00:15:30.80\00:15:36.43
as well as spiritually convinced
00:15:36.44\00:15:39.45
and emotionally convinced.
00:15:39.46\00:15:41.14
We want you to
have emotion in this,
00:15:41.15\00:15:43.55
but first and foremost,
00:15:43.56\00:15:45.16
we want you to
get it into the mind
00:15:45.17\00:15:47.67
that the antichrist is
counterfeit Christianity.
00:15:47.68\00:15:53.44
The Bible says, "He
sits in the temple of God
00:15:53.45\00:15:58.41
and he does all the talk
but he doesn't do the walk."
00:15:58.42\00:16:03.69
And the Bible teaches
and Jesus, our Lord told us,
00:16:03.70\00:16:07.59
"If you wanna understand"
He said this in the gospels.
00:16:07.60\00:16:11.89
He said, "If
you wanna understand
00:16:11.90\00:16:13.80
the truth about the antichrist"
00:16:13.81\00:16:15.81
He said, "Go to the
prophecies of Daniel."
00:16:15.82\00:16:19.56
Jesus said that. Jesus said,
00:16:19.57\00:16:21.91
"Go to the prophecies of Daniel
and search the scriptures."
00:16:21.92\00:16:27.83
So I want you to
do what Jesus said.
00:16:27.84\00:16:30.10
I want you to come with me
00:16:30.11\00:16:31.28
to the prophecy
of Daniel Chapter 7
00:16:31.29\00:16:34.23
and verses 1 and onwards.
00:16:34.24\00:16:36.61
Daniel Chapter 7 and
verses 1 and onwards.
00:16:36.62\00:16:41.04
Daniel Chapter 7,
this book was written
00:16:41.05\00:16:45.17
about 5-600 years ago
00:16:45.18\00:16:47.96
before Christ that's two
and a half thousands years ago.
00:16:47.97\00:16:53.84
About 550 B.C.
00:16:53.85\00:16:56.77
Daniel 7 verses 1 and
onwards, have you got it?
00:16:56.78\00:17:01.79
And we've got here
with us today in our church
00:17:01.80\00:17:04.39
and we wanna give
them special welcome.
00:17:04.40\00:17:06.78
We have some folks from Iraq.
00:17:06.79\00:17:11.79
Where are they?
00:17:11.80\00:17:12.79
Can they please put up their--
00:17:12.80\00:17:14.43
can you do for
moment put up your hands?
00:17:14.44\00:17:16.36
These folks from Iraq
which is the modern name
00:17:16.37\00:17:19.81
for Mesopotamia and
that's where Babylon was.
00:17:19.82\00:17:23.53
Would you stand
up, please, please?
00:17:23.54\00:17:25.74
You folks from Iraq?
00:17:25.75\00:17:28.77
You--it's all
right to stand up here.
00:17:28.78\00:17:30.91
You're quite safe here.
00:17:30.92\00:17:33.16
We love you and
we welcome you today
00:17:33.17\00:17:36.40
all the way from Iraq.
00:17:36.41\00:17:38.85
We're glad to have you with us.
00:17:38.86\00:17:40.84
Now, this Book of
Daniel was written in Iraq.
00:17:40.85\00:17:44.48
Daniel 7, "In the first year
of Belshazzar king of Babylon,"
00:17:44.49\00:17:48.28
I've been there number of times.
00:17:48.29\00:17:50.71
"Daniel had a
dream," God gave it to him.
00:17:50.72\00:17:54.47
"and visions
passed through his mind
00:17:54.48\00:17:56.31
as he was lying on his bed.
00:17:56.32\00:17:59.94
He wrote down the
substance of his dream.
00:17:59.95\00:18:04.18
Daniel said, 'In my
vision at night I looked,
00:18:04.19\00:18:06.48
and there before me
were the four winds of heaven
00:18:06.49\00:18:09.51
churning up the great sea.
00:18:09.52\00:18:12.44
Four great beasts, each
different from the others,
00:18:12.45\00:18:16.14
came up out of the sea.'"
00:18:16.15\00:18:18.75
Now, just pause for a moment.
00:18:18.76\00:18:22.32
This is a dream that
God has given to this man.
00:18:22.33\00:18:25.30
This man is a Hebrew.
00:18:25.31\00:18:26.66
This is happening
in the city of Babylon,
00:18:29.35\00:18:31.76
one of the greatest
cities of ancient world.
00:18:31.77\00:18:34.40
And in his dream, he
sees the sea lashed into fury.
00:18:34.41\00:18:38.96
In Bible prophecy,
00:18:38.97\00:18:40.07
I don't have time
to prove it right now,
00:18:40.08\00:18:42.74
but in Revelation 17:15 it says,
00:18:42.75\00:18:45.15
"The sea represents
the peoples of the earth
00:18:45.16\00:18:49.11
and the winds are
representative of warfare,
00:18:49.12\00:18:52.83
the winds of war,
the winds of strife."
00:18:52.84\00:18:56.49
And so you have the peoples
of the earth lashed into fury
00:18:56.50\00:19:01.85
and then something
dramatic and amazing happens,
00:19:01.86\00:19:05.10
because the antichrist comes up
00:19:05.11\00:19:08.24
out of the peoples of the earth.
00:19:08.25\00:19:10.19
Verse 4. Verse 3,
"Four great beasts,
00:19:10.20\00:19:15.08
each different from the
others, came up out of the sea."
00:19:15.09\00:19:18.48
A beast in Bible prophecy
00:19:18.49\00:19:20.91
symbolizes a
kingdom or a nation.
00:19:20.92\00:19:24.09
We'll prove it to
you as we go along.
00:19:24.10\00:19:27.08
Look at verse 4, "The
first was like a lion,
00:19:27.09\00:19:31.73
and it had the
wings of an eagle."
00:19:31.74\00:19:35.38
And then you come to verse 5,
00:19:35.39\00:19:37.23
"And there before
me was a second beast,
00:19:37.24\00:19:39.56
which looked like a bear.
00:19:39.57\00:19:42.53
It was raised up
on one of its sides,
00:19:42.54\00:19:45.20
and it had three
ribs in its mouth
00:19:45.21\00:19:47.35
between its teeth.
00:19:47.36\00:19:48.58
It was told, 'Get up
00:19:48.59\00:19:50.83
and eat your fill of flesh!"
00:19:50.84\00:19:53.85
And then the next verse says,
00:19:53.86\00:19:56.38
"After that, I looked,
00:19:56.39\00:19:57.63
and there before
me was another beast,
00:19:57.64\00:19:59.81
one that looked like a leopard.
00:19:59.82\00:20:02.66
And on its back
it had four wings
00:20:02.67\00:20:04.94
like those of a bird.
00:20:04.95\00:20:07.92
This beast had four heads,
00:20:07.93\00:20:09.99
and it was given
authority to rule."
00:20:10.00\00:20:14.93
Verse 7, "After that, in
my vision at night I looked
00:20:14.94\00:20:21.28
and there before
me was a fourth beast
00:20:21.29\00:20:24.09
terrifying and
frightening and very powerful.
00:20:24.10\00:20:28.31
It had large iron teeth
00:20:28.32\00:20:30.33
it crushed and
devoured its victims
00:20:30.34\00:20:32.52
and trampled
underfoot whatever was left.
00:20:32.53\00:20:34.82
It was different from
all the former beasts,
00:20:34.83\00:20:38.34
and it had ten horns."
00:20:38.35\00:20:41.51
Verse 8, "While I was
thinking about the horns,
00:20:41.52\00:20:45.67
there before me
was another horn,
00:20:45.68\00:20:48.05
a little one,
which came up among them,
00:20:48.06\00:20:50.73
and three of the first
horns were uprooted before it.
00:20:50.74\00:20:54.93
This horn had eyes
like the eyes of a man
00:20:54.94\00:21:00.27
and a mouth that
spoke boastfully."
00:21:00.28\00:21:03.81
Or it says in
another translation,
00:21:03.82\00:21:06.07
"Spoke right things,
swelling words of blasphemy."
00:21:06.08\00:21:09.81
Now, listen carefully.
00:21:09.82\00:21:12.49
Every Bible commentator
in the world believes
00:21:12.50\00:21:19.26
that the lion represents
the Kingdom of Babylon.
00:21:19.27\00:21:23.62
We gonna put him up,
there he is on the screen.
00:21:23.63\00:21:27.27
The Jewish commentators
believed that absolutely.
00:21:27.28\00:21:31.11
The Protestant commentators
believed that absolutely.
00:21:31.12\00:21:34.72
Do the Jesuits
believe that? Yes, of course.
00:21:34.73\00:21:37.97
Roman Catholics believed it.
00:21:37.98\00:21:40.96
Every commentator
who has ever studied
00:21:40.97\00:21:44.15
these prophecies
knows that in Bible prophecy
00:21:44.16\00:21:48.23
the lion symbolizes
the Kingdom of Babylon.
00:21:48.24\00:21:52.85
Just as the lion
is the king of beast,
00:21:52.86\00:21:55.60
Babylon was the
king of kingdoms.
00:21:55.61\00:21:58.85
And I could share
you in the prophecies
00:21:58.86\00:22:01.32
of the Old
Testament where Babylon
00:22:01.33\00:22:04.25
is actually described
by this symbol of the lion.
00:22:04.26\00:22:09.68
And when I went to Babylon,
00:22:09.69\00:22:11.35
I saw there on the walls
of the old city of Belshazzar
00:22:11.36\00:22:17.10
and
Nebuchadnezzar the winged lion.
00:22:17.11\00:22:22.38
And Babylon ruled
the world we know.
00:22:22.39\00:22:24.79
This is not speculation.
00:22:24.80\00:22:27.38
Listen, I'm gonna
tell you folks something
00:22:27.39\00:22:28.96
that's become so rare in America
00:22:28.97\00:22:33.85
where so much religion not all,
00:22:33.86\00:22:36.18
but so much
religion is spin and hype.
00:22:36.19\00:22:41.65
Listen very, very carefully.
I just wanna get this out.
00:22:41.66\00:22:47.68
I wanna put it upfront.
00:22:47.69\00:22:51.75
Jesus told us to
go against the grain.
00:22:51.76\00:22:57.57
He told us to swim
against the current.
00:22:57.58\00:23:01.97
And He told us to go and
study these great prophecies.
00:23:01.98\00:23:07.41
Now, if you don't
study those prophecies,
00:23:07.42\00:23:09.56
if you don't go to a church
00:23:09.57\00:23:11.57
and if you don't
hear those prophecies,
00:23:11.58\00:23:13.74
I want to tell
you folks something.
00:23:13.75\00:23:15.38
You're gonna be
deceived by the antichrist.
00:23:15.39\00:23:19.41
And the antichrist
is going to be sitting
00:23:19.42\00:23:22.19
right in the church.
00:23:22.20\00:23:26.69
Now this is a
power-- power of the lion,
00:23:26.70\00:23:29.35
Babylon that ruled the
world between 605 and 538 B.C.
00:23:29.36\00:23:36.19
And then after Babylon
there came another power.
00:23:38.12\00:23:42.95
What was it?
Gonna put him up here.
00:23:42.96\00:23:45.45
The rapacious bear
which represents the power
00:23:45.46\00:23:50.03
that came after Babylon.
00:23:50.04\00:23:52.18
And this is not the
teaching of a church.
00:23:52.19\00:23:56.68
This is the teaching of history.
00:23:56.69\00:23:59.38
This is Medo-Persia.
00:23:59.39\00:24:02.57
And this rapacious bear has got
00:24:02.58\00:24:06.08
three ribs in his mouth
00:24:06.09\00:24:08.40
and they represent three powers
00:24:08.41\00:24:10.91
that would stood
the rise of Medo-Persia,
00:24:10.92\00:24:14.32
Babylon, Libya and Egypt.
00:24:14.33\00:24:17.95
We're going to see today
that the Bible prophecies
00:24:17.96\00:24:22.01
have foretold events thousands
of years in the future.
00:24:22.02\00:24:27.59
And which can be
verified proved true
00:24:27.60\00:24:30.70
by archaeology and history.
00:24:30.71\00:24:34.47
If all this is true
then here is amazing proof
00:24:34.48\00:24:41.06
that there is a God
and He's interested in you.
00:24:41.07\00:24:46.70
After Medo-Persia, you
gonna see him, there he is.
00:24:46.71\00:24:52.95
The leopard with the four heads
00:24:52.96\00:24:55.63
that represents
the kingdom of Greece
00:24:55.64\00:24:59.20
that came upon the
world seen around 331 B.C.
00:24:59.21\00:25:03.65
He's fast as were the
armies of Alexander the Great.
00:25:06.40\00:25:12.82
And when Alexander was dying,
00:25:12.83\00:25:16.32
his generals crowded
around his bed and they said,
00:25:16.33\00:25:20.42
"Who will have the
kingdom?" and he said,
00:25:20.43\00:25:23.40
"It shall go to the strongest."
00:25:23.41\00:25:27.41
And some years after his death,
00:25:27.42\00:25:29.48
the kingdom of
Alexander was divided by--
00:25:29.49\00:25:32.80
out among his
four warring generals,
00:25:32.81\00:25:36.70
Cassander, Lysimachus,
Seleucus and Ptolemy.
00:25:36.71\00:25:41.65
And this prophecy was written
00:25:41.66\00:25:44.28
hundred of years
before it happened.
00:25:44.29\00:25:49.35
You say why is it so important
for us to see this stuff.
00:25:49.36\00:25:53.67
Number one, Jesus
said you ought to.
00:25:53.68\00:25:57.38
Number two, it's in the Bible.
00:25:57.39\00:26:01.76
And I'd say to
my American friends,
00:26:01.77\00:26:04.54
it's what the puritans believed.
00:26:04.55\00:26:08.68
It's what the people who
came to this country believed.
00:26:08.69\00:26:15.14
And was the
teaching of this great truth
00:26:15.15\00:26:18.14
that got people
to believe in God.
00:26:18.15\00:26:25.57
America's not
like any other country.
00:26:25.58\00:26:27.45
It was a country
raised up by religious people
00:26:27.46\00:26:32.57
and when America gets away
00:26:32.58\00:26:34.86
from the truth of
her founding fathers,
00:26:34.87\00:26:39.26
America will go
the way of Babylon.
00:26:39.27\00:26:44.03
Don't think some way
that God will spare us.
00:26:44.04\00:26:50.39
Our strength is found
not in the White House
00:26:52.07\00:26:56.73
or Congress or in the army
or the navy or the air force.
00:26:56.74\00:27:03.76
Our strength is
found in God, in God.
00:27:03.77\00:27:08.90
And then there came
the power after Greece,
00:27:08.91\00:27:12.31
the monster, the
great iron teeth.
00:27:12.32\00:27:16.44
Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome.
00:27:16.45\00:27:20.13
You say you're making it up?
00:27:20.14\00:27:21.53
No, just simply go
and read in encyclopedia.
00:27:21.54\00:27:26.70
Just go and read a history book.
00:27:26.71\00:27:30.67
This is the iron
monarchy of Rome.
00:27:30.68\00:27:36.17
And this
monster has got 10 horns
00:27:36.18\00:27:41.99
and we know what this
represents, dear friends.
00:27:42.00\00:27:47.97
Look at verse 24, Daniel 7:24,
00:27:47.98\00:27:55.42
"The ten horns are ten kings
00:27:55.43\00:27:59.47
who will come from this kingdom.
00:27:59.48\00:28:03.42
After them
another king will arise,
00:28:03.43\00:28:05.86
different from the earlier ones,
00:28:05.87\00:28:07.53
he will subdue three kings."
00:28:07.54\00:28:09.26
That is the antichrist.
00:28:09.27\00:28:13.10
Now, I say this in
love but I say it strongly.
00:28:13.11\00:28:20.78
Please explain to me,
00:28:23.13\00:28:25.12
if you don't have faith in God.
00:28:25.13\00:28:28.79
If you're a young
person sitting here today
00:28:28.80\00:28:31.73
and you come here
because your mother drags you
00:28:31.74\00:28:36.48
or your father drags you.
00:28:36.49\00:28:38.97
You are now
dealing with material
00:28:38.98\00:28:41.37
that is more
important than any magazine
00:28:41.38\00:28:44.31
you're going to read
00:28:44.32\00:28:45.42
or any television program
you're going to look through,
00:28:45.43\00:28:50.82
because after the
iron monarchy of Rome
00:28:50.83\00:28:54.65
came the kingdoms of Europe
likened to the ten kingdoms,
00:28:54.66\00:28:59.14
the Heruli, the Franks,
00:28:59.15\00:29:03.00
the Anglo-Saxons as
they were called later.
00:29:03.01\00:29:07.24
Between 300 and 500
A.D the Roman Empire
00:29:07.25\00:29:10.71
was not followed by
a fifth world empire.
00:29:10.72\00:29:14.05
The Roman Empire
broke up into the kingdoms
00:29:14.06\00:29:17.00
and the states of Europe.
00:29:17.01\00:29:18.50
How did Daniel know?
Now, please be honest.
00:29:18.51\00:29:25.32
Don't say, "I'm not
going to think about this."
00:29:25.33\00:29:28.53
Don't join the know-nothings.
00:29:28.54\00:29:33.85
Whoever knows nothings,
00:29:33.86\00:29:35.55
they are that
swelling band of people
00:29:35.56\00:29:38.53
who pride
themselves on knowing nothing.
00:29:38.54\00:29:41.52
Did you know there
was a political party
00:29:44.24\00:29:46.05
in America once who were
called the know nothings.
00:29:46.06\00:29:48.77
It could be a big party today.
00:29:53.36\00:29:56.56
We are not to be
the know nothings,
00:29:56.57\00:29:58.22
we are to know truth.
00:29:58.23\00:30:00.61
Jesus said, "You know the truth
00:30:00.62\00:30:02.11
and the truth
will make you free.
00:30:02.12\00:30:03.82
If you don't know the truth,
00:30:03.83\00:30:05.75
you will be
deceived by antichrist."
00:30:05.76\00:30:09.78
People say, "So what if
I'm deceived by antichrist?"
00:30:11.29\00:30:14.17
I will tell you
the consequences.
00:30:14.18\00:30:16.50
The antichrist has got a destiny
00:30:16.51\00:30:19.70
and that is the fire of
hell and those who follow him.
00:30:19.71\00:30:25.58
People say, "Well, we
don't believe in hell."
00:30:25.59\00:30:28.09
Well, the Bible teaches hell.
00:30:28.10\00:30:31.39
The Bible does not
teach the monstrous doctrine
00:30:31.40\00:30:34.90
that God is the
torturer in chief.
00:30:34.91\00:30:38.43
Any power that
engages in torture
00:30:41.95\00:30:45.13
will suffer a moral
fall and will go down.
00:30:45.14\00:30:49.33
Torture is evil and you know
00:30:53.55\00:31:00.21
as we talk about the antichrist,
00:31:00.22\00:31:02.63
waterboarding was given to us
00:31:05.76\00:31:07.78
by the Jesuits in
Spanish Inquisition.
00:31:07.79\00:31:13.34
And some people have said,
00:31:13.35\00:31:14.73
"How could I ever believe
00:31:14.74\00:31:16.34
in a God who is
the supreme torturer
00:31:16.35\00:31:21.45
who's going to torture
people for billions of years?
00:31:21.46\00:31:24.45
I don't believe
in God like that.
00:31:24.46\00:31:27.26
I don't believe in that."
00:31:27.27\00:31:28.26
Now, let us notice
the identifications
00:31:32.79\00:31:35.50
of the antichrist, he comes up
00:31:35.51\00:31:36.96
on the ruins of
the Roman Empire,
00:31:36.97\00:31:38.91
he comes up after 500
A.D because Daniel 7:24 says,
00:31:38.92\00:31:44.40
"The ten horns are ten kings
00:31:44.41\00:31:46.12
who will come
from this kingdom."
00:31:46.13\00:31:47.16
That's Europe.
00:31:47.17\00:31:48.60
"After them
another king will arrive,"
00:31:48.61\00:31:51.95
After the kingdoms of Europe
00:31:51.96\00:31:54.22
were established around 500 A.D,
00:31:54.23\00:31:56.95
antichrist who is in the church
00:31:56.96\00:32:00.01
comes up as a world
power after 500 A.D.
00:32:00.02\00:32:04.90
He overthrows three kings.
00:32:04.91\00:32:06.58
Daniel 7 verse 8,
"While I was thinking
00:32:06.59\00:32:09.59
about the horns, the kings,
00:32:09.60\00:32:11.60
there before me
was another horn,
00:32:11.61\00:32:13.24
a little one, which came up
00:32:13.25\00:32:15.21
among them" the kings of Europe.
00:32:15.22\00:32:17.07
"and three of the first
horns were uprooted before it."
00:32:17.08\00:32:19.89
He overthrows three kings
00:32:19.90\00:32:23.31
and there was a religious power
00:32:23.32\00:32:24.65
that arose on the
ruins of the Roman Empire
00:32:24.66\00:32:27.08
who overthrew the Haruli,
00:32:27.09\00:32:29.36
the Vandals and the Ostrogoths.
00:32:29.37\00:32:33.47
And the next point
identification point
00:32:33.48\00:32:36.01
is that he would become
greater than the others.
00:32:36.02\00:32:39.90
Verse 20, "I also wanted to know
00:32:39.91\00:32:43.86
about the ten horns on its head
00:32:43.87\00:32:46.69
and about the
other horn that came up,
00:32:46.70\00:32:49.49
before which three of them fell,
00:32:49.50\00:32:52.56
the Haruli, the
Vandals and the Ostrogoths.
00:32:52.57\00:32:55.01
"The horn that looked
more imposing than the others
00:32:55.02\00:32:58.71
and that had eyes and a mouth
00:32:58.72\00:33:00.68
that spoke great
things or boastfully."
00:33:00.69\00:33:03.91
He becomes
greater. He is different.
00:33:03.92\00:33:07.16
Verse 24, "The ten
horns are ten kings
00:33:07.17\00:33:09.99
who will come from this kingdom.
00:33:10.00\00:33:11.62
After them another
king will arise, different"
00:33:11.63\00:33:14.72
Look at me.
00:33:14.73\00:33:16.64
He is different
because he is religious.
00:33:16.65\00:33:22.78
All these other kings-us,
00:33:22.79\00:33:27.78
well they're kings,
they're not religious powers.
00:33:27.79\00:33:31.06
But this king is
supremely religious
00:33:33.62\00:33:38.47
and he comes up on the
ruins of the Roman empire.
00:33:38.48\00:33:42.41
He is different. Now,
listen to me, look at me.
00:33:42.42\00:33:46.26
If you really
want to find reality,
00:33:46.27\00:33:49.69
if you want to know
that there's something
00:33:49.70\00:33:52.07
you can believe in,
00:33:52.08\00:33:53.39
believe in history
and Bible prophecy.
00:33:53.40\00:33:58.06
We're not talking
about faith in faith.
00:33:58.07\00:34:01.84
Faith in faith is a counterfeit.
00:34:01.85\00:34:04.16
It is anti-intellectual.
It is antichristian.
00:34:04.17\00:34:08.21
We do not believe
in faith in faith.
00:34:08.22\00:34:10.36
We believe in
faith in the truth.
00:34:10.37\00:34:15.06
Now you maybe a
blind man and coming here
00:34:15.07\00:34:17.20
and feel this desk and
think it's an armchair.
00:34:17.21\00:34:20.49
It doesn't make it an armchair
because you think it is.
00:34:20.50\00:34:25.54
Truth is truth and
truth is objective.
00:34:25.55\00:34:29.38
The rules of
1,260 days verse 25,
00:34:32.35\00:34:36.50
"He will speak
against the Most High
00:34:36.51\00:34:39.53
and oppress his
saints and try to change
00:34:39.54\00:34:41.73
the set times and the laws.
00:34:41.74\00:34:44.17
The saints will be
handed over to him for a time,
00:34:44.18\00:34:47.08
and times and half a time."
00:34:47.09\00:34:50.20
I don't have time to
go into this in detail.
00:34:50.21\00:34:53.73
But in Bible
prophecy, a time is a year.
00:34:53.74\00:34:57.44
Times is two years.
00:34:57.45\00:34:59.10
Half a time is half a year
00:34:59.11\00:35:01.12
that gives you
300-three and a half years.
00:35:01.13\00:35:05.25
And in a prophetic calendar
not a biblical calendar.
00:35:05.26\00:35:09.51
But in a prophetic calendar,
00:35:09.52\00:35:13.83
a year is made up of 360 days,
00:35:13.84\00:35:18.63
and if you multiply
360 by three and a half,
00:35:18.64\00:35:23.51
it gives you 1,260 days.
00:35:23.52\00:35:29.29
Now, if we had
time we would take you
00:35:29.30\00:35:33.13
to Revelation Chapter
12 verse 6 and verse 14.
00:35:33.14\00:35:38.43
And that talks about the
time, times and half a time
00:35:38.44\00:35:43.54
and it also talks
about 1,260 years.
00:35:43.55\00:35:48.71
Well, maybe we
should look at it.
00:35:48.72\00:35:50.89
Come to that
chapter very fast please.
00:35:50.90\00:35:55.63
Revelation 12 a verse--
00:35:55.64\00:35:58.82
the Book of Revelation
explains the Book of Daniel.
00:35:58.83\00:36:03.50
Revelation 12. You
know why these things
00:36:03.51\00:36:05.45
are not taught in
churches, don't you?
00:36:05.46\00:36:09.81
Because the
devil doesn't want you
00:36:09.82\00:36:11.63
to understand the truth
00:36:11.64\00:36:13.39
and he doesn't want you
to be saved, that's why.
00:36:13.40\00:36:18.23
Revelation 12 verse 14.
00:36:18.24\00:36:24.84
Okay?
00:36:24.85\00:36:26.52
Verse 14, "The woman"
00:36:26.53\00:36:30.60
which represents the church
00:36:30.61\00:36:32.51
"was given the two
wings of a great eagle,
00:36:32.52\00:36:34.87
so that she
might fly to the place
00:36:34.88\00:36:36.66
prepared for her in the desert,
00:36:36.67\00:36:38.62
where she would be
taken care of for a time,
00:36:38.63\00:36:41.05
times and half a time
from the serpent's reach."
00:36:41.06\00:36:46.74
And verse 6 says,
00:36:46.75\00:36:48.27
"The woman fled into
the desert to a place
00:36:48.28\00:36:50.39
prepared for her by God,
00:36:50.40\00:36:52.12
where she might be
taken care of for 1,260 days."
00:36:52.13\00:36:58.33
So you got time,
times and half a time.
00:36:58.34\00:37:00.60
And in Revelation 13 it
talks about the antichrist
00:37:00.61\00:37:05.95
ruling for 42 months.
00:37:05.96\00:37:09.30
The 42 months
multiplied by 30 comes to 1,260.
00:37:09.31\00:37:16.68
Now, listen carefully
00:37:16.69\00:37:18.95
the people who founded America,
00:37:18.96\00:37:23.46
who came ashore at Plymouth Rock
00:37:23.47\00:37:26.61
seeking a place to worship God
00:37:26.62\00:37:30.11
where they could
breathe air that was free.
00:37:30.12\00:37:35.27
Those people believed
that freedom was more important
00:37:35.28\00:37:39.49
than anything else
in the world and it is.
00:37:39.50\00:37:44.23
I would rather be a
poor, poor man and have freedom
00:37:44.24\00:37:49.83
than be the
wealthiest person in the world
00:37:49.84\00:37:52.14
and to be a slave.
00:37:52.15\00:37:55.61
Those people,
the founding fathers
00:37:55.62\00:37:58.68
of America said
that in Bible prophecy
00:37:58.69\00:38:03.81
and they quoted
Ezekial 4:6, and Numbers 14:34.
00:38:03.82\00:38:07.56
They said that a prophetic
day represented a literal year.
00:38:07.57\00:38:14.29
And we know that this
great church organization
00:38:14.30\00:38:19.69
became a supreme
power in the year 538
00:38:19.70\00:38:23.58
and you have 1,260 under that.
00:38:23.59\00:38:26.32
And it brings you
through until 1,798.
00:38:26.33\00:38:31.82
And in 1,798,
one of the generals
00:38:31.83\00:38:35.38
of Napoleon Bonaparte,
General Bartia marched down
00:38:35.39\00:38:40.07
into Rome and took
the Pontius prisoner.
00:38:40.08\00:38:45.90
You say that we've never heard
00:38:45.91\00:38:47.52
these things before, how sad.
00:38:47.53\00:38:49.92
Because this used to be
the fundamental teaching
00:38:52.43\00:38:57.50
that was taught in
every American church
00:38:57.51\00:39:00.50
once upon a time,
00:39:00.51\00:39:01.70
but day has come are
falling away from the truth.
00:39:01.71\00:39:07.11
And this time period
of more than a 1,000 years
00:39:07.12\00:39:11.54
is called by
historians, the Dark Ages,
00:39:11.55\00:39:15.83
the great professor, Willey
00:39:15.84\00:39:18.37
the great
English historian said,
00:39:18.38\00:39:21.14
"The noon day of that church
00:39:21.15\00:39:23.55
was the midnight of the world."
00:39:25.20\00:39:29.97
Because that
church got people away
00:39:29.98\00:39:31.73
from reading Holy Scripture.
00:39:31.74\00:39:36.02
The next point is
that the antichrist
00:39:36.03\00:39:38.16
is a union of church and state.
00:39:38.17\00:39:41.06
Listen to me, my Catholic
and my Protestant friends.
00:39:41.07\00:39:45.91
Come over here to
Revelation 17 verses 1 to 6.
00:39:45.92\00:39:49.84
There are people
here in the United States
00:39:49.85\00:39:52.56
who would like America
00:39:52.57\00:39:54.10
to become a union
of church and state.
00:39:54.11\00:39:59.63
How sad that they have
forgotten the Dark Ages.
00:39:59.64\00:40:04.53
Revelation 17, 1 to 6,
"One of the seven angels
00:40:04.54\00:40:08.58
who had the seven
bowls came and said to me,
00:40:08.59\00:40:11.42
"Come, I will
show you the punishment
00:40:11.43\00:40:13.02
of the great prostitute,"
00:40:13.03\00:40:14.76
Now, the good
woman is the good church
00:40:14.77\00:40:16.61
and a bad woman is a bad church.
00:40:16.62\00:40:21.41
Verse 2, "With her
the kings of the earth
00:40:21.42\00:40:23.17
committed
adultery," They join with her,
00:40:23.18\00:40:25.94
church and state together.
00:40:25.95\00:40:28.82
"Then the angel carried me away
00:40:28.83\00:40:30.60
in the Spirit into the desert.
00:40:30.61\00:40:32.58
There I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast."
00:40:32.59\00:40:36.43
So they got the
beast is the state
00:40:36.44\00:40:38.85
and the woman is the church.
00:40:38.86\00:40:41.29
Every commentator
believes that including
00:40:41.30\00:40:43.60
our dear friends in the
Roman Catholic communion.
00:40:43.61\00:40:48.01
"The woman" verse 4,
"was dressed in purple
00:40:48.02\00:40:50.92
and scarlet,"
They're her special colors.
00:40:50.93\00:40:55.10
"And was glittering with gold,
precious stones and pearls."
00:40:55.11\00:40:59.22
She was done up
with a heap of jewelry.
00:40:59.23\00:41:02.80
"She held a
golden cup in her hand,
00:41:02.81\00:41:04.96
filled with abominable things
00:41:04.97\00:41:07.28
and the filth of her adulteries.
00:41:07.29\00:41:10.28
The title was
written on her forehead,
00:41:10.29\00:41:12.17
Mystery Babylon the great,
the mother of prostitutes..."
00:41:12.18\00:41:16.79
This is a great church
that is joined to the state.
00:41:16.80\00:41:21.97
And verse 6 says,
"I saw that the woman
00:41:21.98\00:41:24.82
was drunk with the
blood of the saints,
00:41:24.83\00:41:27.26
the blood of those who
bore testimony to Jesus."
00:41:27.27\00:41:31.76
This great organization is
a union of church and state.
00:41:31.77\00:41:40.32
It amazes me. The
people in this great land
00:41:40.33\00:41:46.00
that fled the
persecutions of this power,
00:41:46.01\00:41:49.59
what if they could
get the power, bring about
00:41:49.60\00:41:52.61
the same sort of
government, that they fled.
00:41:52.62\00:42:01.36
But antichrist, the
supreme manifestation
00:42:01.37\00:42:05.82
the union of church and
state and their persecutes.
00:42:05.83\00:42:11.86
That's why
torture and persecution
00:42:11.87\00:42:14.14
is a part of
antichrist and if you uphold it
00:42:14.15\00:42:17.91
my friend, you're
joining with antichrist,
00:42:17.92\00:42:20.36
so beware because
God will not be mocked.
00:42:20.37\00:42:25.75
Revelation 17:18,
"The woman you saw"
00:42:25.76\00:42:29.29
next point "is the great city
00:42:29.30\00:42:31.63
that rules over the
kings of the earth."
00:42:31.64\00:42:34.09
Every commentator including
my Roman Catholic friends
00:42:34.10\00:42:40.15
tell me that the
city that reigned
00:42:40.16\00:42:42.90
over the kings of
the earth in the days
00:42:42.91\00:42:46.27
of the apostles was Rome.
00:42:46.28\00:42:51.69
You say, "But,
but..." No, no, but, but.
00:42:51.70\00:42:54.66
It's the truth. People say,
"We don't like this prophecy."
00:42:54.67\00:43:00.14
Well, I never wrote
them, God gave them to us.
00:43:00.15\00:43:04.13
He gave them to us so
that our eyes might be opened
00:43:04.14\00:43:08.08
and that we would see
that the Bible is true.
00:43:08.09\00:43:10.97
Here you have
the history of Europe
00:43:10.98\00:43:15.96
for more than a 1,000 years
00:43:15.97\00:43:17.85
written a 1,000
years before it happened.
00:43:17.86\00:43:21.72
So explain that to
me, my atheistic friend,
00:43:21.73\00:43:25.27
my skeptical friend.
00:43:25.28\00:43:26.70
My friend who
says there is no God.
00:43:26.71\00:43:29.12
Your problem is you'd
never studied the evidence.
00:43:29.13\00:43:34.15
But if you will open
your eyes and your mind today,
00:43:34.16\00:43:38.22
you have evidence that the Bible
00:43:38.23\00:43:40.57
is true and there's a God.
00:43:40.58\00:43:43.37
And this God must love
us or else He would not have
00:43:43.38\00:43:47.21
given us this book
and this understanding.
00:43:47.22\00:43:51.09
He loves us. And
this is how it happened.
00:43:51.10\00:43:54.85
Jesus founded a church,
but the apostles were scarcely
00:43:54.86\00:44:02.24
placed in their
graves before the church
00:44:02.25\00:44:05.44
fell away from the truth.
00:44:05.45\00:44:07.40
And all sorts of,
and this is history.
00:44:07.41\00:44:11.31
Go and read it. All
sorts of pagan ideas
00:44:11.32\00:44:15.45
came into the church
not found in the Bible
00:44:15.46\00:44:20.88
even the gods of the
Romans were baptized and became
00:44:20.89\00:44:25.64
Christian saints
and placed in churches.
00:44:25.65\00:44:29.74
The church did not conquer Rome.
00:44:29.75\00:44:33.86
Rome conquered the church.
00:44:33.87\00:44:37.31
So you have a
falling away from the truth
00:44:37.32\00:44:40.90
and then you have the Dark Ages.
00:44:40.91\00:44:46.16
And we have today in
America another Dark Ages.
00:44:46.17\00:44:52.87
You know why, the
antichrist brought about
00:44:52.88\00:44:56.88
the Dark Ages by stopping people
00:44:56.89\00:44:59.33
by force from reading the Bible.
00:44:59.34\00:45:04.72
Now, no force is needed.
00:45:04.73\00:45:06.67
People out of sheer
indolence don't read it.
00:45:06.68\00:45:13.07
And they're mesmerized
by the lords of Hollywood.
00:45:13.08\00:45:19.83
Most of them who
despise Christianity,
00:45:19.84\00:45:24.82
and Christ, and God.
00:45:24.83\00:45:28.20
And so America
is entering another
00:45:28.21\00:45:30.93
Dark Age
willfully, willingly, gladly.
00:45:30.94\00:45:35.96
The Dark Ages, the 1,260 years.
00:45:35.97\00:45:41.88
Can you not see why
I believe in the Bible?
00:45:41.89\00:45:47.40
Why I believe in God?
00:45:47.41\00:45:49.66
Here is reason to
believe that there is a God.
00:45:49.67\00:45:56.93
Let me tell you these truths.
00:45:56.94\00:45:59.77
It is right to believe
what the majority thinks.
00:45:59.78\00:46:04.17
Did you hear this?
00:46:04.18\00:46:05.85
If the majority
thinks it's wrong,
00:46:05.86\00:46:07.81
there's a good
reason to believe it
00:46:07.82\00:46:09.17
because it's probably right.
00:46:09.18\00:46:12.43
I believe the Bible protects
the right of minorities.
00:46:12.44\00:46:20.30
This nation became
the greatest nation
00:46:20.31\00:46:22.36
under heaven, because
she was built upon the Bible.
00:46:22.37\00:46:28.02
My American friends,
you gave up the Bible.
00:46:28.03\00:46:31.79
You gave up this great prophecy.
00:46:31.80\00:46:34.90
You give up this great truth.
00:46:34.91\00:46:39.45
And I would not envy your end.
00:46:39.46\00:46:41.64
Here we have-I say to
young people-young people say,
00:46:45.11\00:46:48.24
"I don't really
know what I can believe."
00:46:48.25\00:46:50.12
That's because
you're not reading.
00:46:50.13\00:46:52.72
That's because you're spending
so much time looking at Malik
00:46:52.73\00:46:57.56
who sits in throne
in the living room.
00:46:57.57\00:47:00.82
All that we might
have to return to God
00:47:00.83\00:47:03.83
and the preaching of
the Bible, the Bible.
00:47:03.84\00:47:09.60
The Bible says, Daniel 7:25
00:47:09.61\00:47:12.46
that this power would persecute.
00:47:12.47\00:47:16.31
Oh dear! Daniel 7 and verse 25,
00:47:16.32\00:47:23.41
"He will speak
against the Most High"
00:47:23.42\00:47:26.04
it says also the woman was drunk
00:47:26.05\00:47:27.63
with the blood of the saints.
00:47:27.64\00:47:30.11
"He will speak
against the Most High
00:47:30.12\00:47:31.84
and oppress his
saints and try to change
00:47:31.85\00:47:34.24
the set times and the laws."
00:47:34.25\00:47:36.59
That is next week
the priest's confession.
00:47:36.60\00:47:40.44
"The saints will be
handed over to him for a time,
00:47:40.45\00:47:42.99
times and half a
time." The saints.
00:47:43.00\00:47:47.15
You know what a
saint is, don't you?
00:47:47.16\00:47:48.99
He's not a person who
dies and is made into a saint.
00:47:49.00\00:47:53.71
If you're not a living saint,
you'll never be a dead saint.
00:47:53.72\00:47:58.98
A saint in the Bible is a
person who follows Christ.
00:47:58.99\00:48:04.37
A saint is a person
who follows the Bible.
00:48:04.38\00:48:09.12
And the Bible tells
me that this great power
00:48:09.13\00:48:12.54
would persecute the saints.
00:48:12.55\00:48:14.96
Millions of
Protestants and Catholics.
00:48:14.97\00:48:20.14
Saint Catholics? Yes!
00:48:20.15\00:48:23.73
Because they would
not follow their church
00:48:23.74\00:48:27.80
as far as Christ is concerned.
00:48:27.81\00:48:31.20
They said Christ is
all in all not the church.
00:48:31.21\00:48:36.89
Antichrist tortures,
antichrist persecutes.
00:48:36.90\00:48:42.34
Any person who upholds
those abominable things, I say,
00:48:42.35\00:48:47.17
"May God bring you to
Christ and may He bring you
00:48:47.18\00:48:49.92
to repentance,
because you'll never see
00:48:49.93\00:48:53.20
the gates of glory otherwise."
00:48:53.21\00:48:57.32
So here we're talking about
00:48:57.33\00:48:59.18
a great church in Revelation 13.
00:48:59.19\00:49:03.12
I should show you the text.
00:49:03.13\00:49:04.26
Come over here to Revelation 13.
00:49:04.27\00:49:09.03
It talks about this
power getting a mortal wound.
00:49:09.04\00:49:13.73
You tell me the
Bible is not interesting.
00:49:13.74\00:49:15.57
You know why
because we don't preach
00:49:15.58\00:49:17.97
these things like we used to.
00:49:17.98\00:49:22.97
Many a sermon, it's made
up of three points and a poem.
00:49:22.98\00:49:28.59
God have mercy on us.
00:49:28.60\00:49:32.88
"One of the heads of the beast
00:49:32.89\00:49:34.00
seemed to have
had a fatal wound,
00:49:34.01\00:49:36.93
but the fatal
wound had been healed."
00:49:36.94\00:49:39.18
That great organization
received a fatal wound
00:49:39.19\00:49:44.76
in the days of the reformation
00:49:44.77\00:49:48.01
through the
preaching of the Bible.
00:49:48.02\00:49:51.09
If you want to
see people break free
00:49:51.10\00:49:53.28
out of darkness
give them the Bible.
00:49:53.29\00:49:56.60
Go to those
countries that are the most
00:49:56.61\00:49:59.05
superstitious the
dirtiest countries.
00:49:59.06\00:50:02.04
Pardon, I'm saying that.
The most unhygienic countries.
00:50:02.05\00:50:05.75
The most unhealthy countries.
00:50:05.76\00:50:07.90
The most crime filled countries.
00:50:07.91\00:50:12.40
The countries where
the Bible is not taught,
00:50:12.41\00:50:16.59
but where the church rules.
00:50:16.60\00:50:20.85
That power received the
deadly wound in the 1798 also.
00:50:20.86\00:50:27.14
But the deadly wound the
Bible says will be healed
00:50:27.15\00:50:30.73
and that power will come back
00:50:30.74\00:50:33.34
with all the
force of the Dark Ages.
00:50:33.35\00:50:37.19
And it is time for every
person who values freedom
00:50:37.20\00:50:43.77
to stand up for
Christ and the Bible.
00:50:43.78\00:50:47.98
Hear what I'm
saying today? Amen.
00:50:47.99\00:50:52.76
And this is no
time for smooth things.
00:50:52.77\00:50:58.69
It is no time for
little friendliest chats.
00:50:58.70\00:51:04.63
The time has come when
the voice of the prophets
00:51:04.64\00:51:08.61
must be heard from the pulpit.
00:51:08.62\00:51:11.28
Can you say amen? Amen!
00:51:11.29\00:51:13.14
Say it again? Amen!
00:51:13.15\00:51:16.94
What lies ahead.
00:51:16.95\00:51:19.88
Another point,
I don't have time.
00:51:19.89\00:51:22.16
The Bible says the
antichrist endeavors
00:51:22.17\00:51:25.64
until the second
coming, that's what it says.
00:51:25.65\00:51:30.96
What lies ahead,
the last great conflict,
00:51:30.97\00:51:34.53
the rebirth of intolerance,
00:51:34.54\00:51:37.35
the rule of the
great state church
00:51:37.36\00:51:40.92
and many, many
religions will come together.
00:51:40.93\00:51:44.52
There's a great
story in the Bible.
00:51:48.88\00:51:51.62
It's a story of
three young Hebrews.
00:51:51.63\00:51:54.83
Three young Jews
who refused to bow down
00:51:54.84\00:52:01.01
to the image that
Nebuchadnezzar set up.
00:52:01.02\00:52:05.30
You know the story,
it's told in Daniel.
00:52:05.31\00:52:08.80
The king said--the Herod
said when he hear the sound
00:52:08.81\00:52:13.53
of the bagpipes, goodness,
00:52:13.54\00:52:16.12
and all these other instruments,
00:52:16.13\00:52:18.39
you ought to bow down.
00:52:18.40\00:52:21.45
These young men said, No, we
will not go with the majority.
00:52:21.46\00:52:27.13
And let me tell
you folks, something.
00:52:32.98\00:52:35.64
Leaving human thinking aside.
00:52:35.65\00:52:37.90
God in one person,
they're the true majority.
00:52:37.91\00:52:43.00
But these three young
men would not bow down.
00:52:43.01\00:52:47.46
So the king representing
the antichrist himself,
00:52:47.47\00:52:51.88
the spirit of antichrist
had those three young men
00:52:51.89\00:52:54.57
taken and thrown
into the fiery furnace
00:52:54.58\00:52:57.74
after it had been
heated seven times.
00:52:57.75\00:53:02.11
Then the king said, I'm
looking and what do I see,
00:53:02.12\00:53:06.08
I see a fourth person in there.
00:53:06.09\00:53:08.98
And His form is
like the Son of God.
00:53:08.99\00:53:13.95
Jesus came down.
00:53:13.96\00:53:19.02
And the only thing that
got burned were the ropes.
00:53:19.03\00:53:26.39
These were three young men
the king brought them forth,
00:53:26.40\00:53:30.30
three young men
who would not budge,
00:53:30.31\00:53:37.74
would not bow, would
not bend and would not burn.
00:53:37.75\00:53:45.28
And the people that
are going home to glory
00:53:50.17\00:53:56.06
are going to be different
than the vast majority of people
00:53:56.07\00:54:01.24
in the world who are mesmerized
00:54:01.25\00:54:04.26
with false
religion and politics.
00:54:04.27\00:54:08.23
That's all I can talk, politics
00:54:08.24\00:54:10.36
where has it got them?
00:54:10.37\00:54:14.18
There are going to be people
00:54:14.19\00:54:16.85
who're going to say,
I will follow Christ.
00:54:16.86\00:54:21.44
I will be true to Christ.
I will be true to the Bible.
00:54:21.45\00:54:27.30
They will be nonconformist.
00:54:27.31\00:54:31.30
They will be part of a remnant.
00:54:31.31\00:54:35.08
They will not
budge, they will not bow,
00:54:35.09\00:54:39.18
they will not bend.
00:54:39.19\00:54:41.43
They will not burn
when the world will.
00:54:41.44\00:54:49.86
And they will go
home with Christ to glory.
00:54:49.87\00:54:56.79
Ponder well what
you've heard today.
00:54:56.80\00:54:58.76
Jesus, our Lord
said, "If you are capable"
00:55:02.70\00:55:11.02
He said these words,
00:55:11.03\00:55:12.69
"He who has ears,
let him hear." Amen.
00:55:12.70\00:55:21.54

shepherd I shall not want

light You restore my heart

O Lord, you're my
Savior Cleansing me
00:57:06.97\00:57:15.75
You gave your own
life So that I'd be free
00:57:15.76\00:57:23.37
You restore my
mind You restore my soul
00:57:23.38\00:57:31.47
You restore my heart Beautiful
00:57:31.48\00:57:41.55
