From Arcadia, California,
the Carter Report presents
00:00:07.66\00:00:10.80
'The Living
Word' around the world.
00:00:10.81\00:00:13.51
Our topic today is
the Priest's Confession
00:00:17.53\00:00:22.26
later on I will
read you the actual words
00:00:22.27\00:00:26.06
of the great
Roman Catholic Church
00:00:26.07\00:00:28.49
when she tells why she did
00:00:28.50\00:00:31.25
what no one else would dare to.
00:00:31.26\00:00:33.33
There are two things
that a pastor shouldn't do.
00:00:35.61\00:00:39.32
He shouldn't tell lies
and he shouldn't retire.
00:00:39.33\00:00:44.17
That's why I plan
to keep on keeping on
00:00:44.18\00:00:47.21
while God can still use me.
00:00:47.22\00:00:49.68
While these lungs are working,
while this mouth is talking,
00:00:49.69\00:00:53.46
and while Jesus is still
alive, and I am still alive,
00:00:53.47\00:00:57.34
I plan to keep on preaching
the everlasting gospel.
00:00:57.35\00:01:00.91
Will you pray for me?
00:01:00.92\00:01:02.19
Will you support
us in this great work?
00:01:02.20\00:01:04.96
Listen, we have
received an urgent invitation
00:01:04.97\00:01:08.79
from the church in India.
00:01:08.80\00:01:10.62
They're saying
come over and help us.
00:01:10.63\00:01:13.89
What a challenge my friend.
00:01:13.90\00:01:15.78
Do you know how many people
live in the land of India?
00:01:15.79\00:01:18.81
More than a thousand
million people and the places
00:01:18.82\00:01:23.12
full of demons and evil spirits.
00:01:23.13\00:01:26.57
They don't want this
campaign those evil spirits
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.41
but I want you to know Jesus
00:01:29.42\00:01:31.78
is stronger than
the evil spirits.
00:01:31.79\00:01:34.53
Last time we went to India.
00:01:34.54\00:01:35.85
We had tremendous opposition,
our lives was threatened,
00:01:35.86\00:01:39.24
but by the grace of
God we're going to go back
00:01:39.25\00:01:42.09
because Jesus
has called us to go.
00:01:42.10\00:01:45.14
When we went there last time
00:01:45.15\00:01:46.27
we saw thousands of
people coming to Christ.
00:01:46.28\00:01:49.18
One night 30,000 people came
to Christ, Hindus and Muslims.
00:01:49.19\00:01:54.44
We're praying Jesus do it again.
00:01:54.45\00:01:57.81
Please support us.
Please write to me.

00:02:22.16\00:02:25.10
The topic today is
"The Priest's Confession."
00:02:36.45\00:02:41.05
But before we
talk about this today
00:02:41.06\00:02:42.81
and it's a very
important subject,
00:02:42.82\00:02:44.66
its sort of
tremendous significance.
00:02:44.67\00:02:47.53
We're going to
answer the question,
00:02:47.54\00:02:50.60
how can a person be saved?
00:02:50.61\00:02:53.85
Is a person
saved by his obedience
00:02:53.86\00:02:57.54
to the holy law of God?
00:02:57.55\00:02:59.65
I want you to take your Bibles
00:02:59.66\00:03:01.07
and turn with me to the
Book of Ephesians Chapter 2.
00:03:01.08\00:03:04.75
And I want to give a very
warm welcome to every person
00:03:04.76\00:03:07.74
here today, and especially
00:03:07.75\00:03:09.50
to our television
audience around the world.
00:03:09.51\00:03:13.72
We're gonna turn to
the Book of Ephesians
00:03:13.73\00:03:15.91
which is after Galatians.
00:03:15.92\00:03:17.97
Ephesians, Chapter 2
and verses 8 down to 10
00:03:17.98\00:03:23.54
these words are of
great significance.
00:03:23.55\00:03:27.86
The great apostle Paul said,
00:03:27.87\00:03:29.99
"For it is by grace you
has been saved, through faith."
00:03:30.00\00:03:35.46
Not because of your
faith but through faith.
00:03:35.47\00:03:38.35
"And this is
not from yourselves,
00:03:38.36\00:03:40.60
it is the gift of God."
00:03:40.61\00:03:42.18
So, salvation is not earned,
00:03:42.19\00:03:44.34
"it is the gift
of God--not by works,
00:03:44.35\00:03:47.84
so that no one can boast.
00:03:47.85\00:03:50.66
For we are God's workmanship,
00:03:50.67\00:03:52.60
created in Christ Jesus
00:03:52.61\00:03:55.61
to do good works,
00:03:55.62\00:03:58.63
which God prepared in
advance for us to do."
00:03:58.64\00:04:02.38
There are three big words here.
00:04:02.39\00:04:05.58
And it's important that
we understand these words.
00:04:05.59\00:04:09.16
The first word
it's a great word.
00:04:09.17\00:04:13.03
It is the word 'Grace.'
00:04:13.04\00:04:17.23
The Bible says
we're saved by grace.
00:04:17.24\00:04:20.87
This is God's sheer mercy.
00:04:20.88\00:04:24.10
We're not saved,
because we somehow
00:04:24.11\00:04:27.48
have attained to a
perfectionist state.
00:04:27.49\00:04:32.60
We're not saved, because
there is something good in us,
00:04:32.61\00:04:36.90
but we're saved by
the sheer mercy of God.
00:04:36.91\00:04:40.37
So we're saved by grace
00:04:40.38\00:04:43.34
and the means we accept
00:04:43.35\00:04:45.22
this grace is through faith.
00:04:45.23\00:04:50.33
Now sometimes people think
faith is a myriad in itself.
00:04:50.34\00:04:54.38
It is not so.
00:04:54.39\00:04:56.35
We're not saved by our faith,
we're saved through our faith.
00:04:56.36\00:05:01.46
Our faith accepts the
mercy and the grace of God.
00:05:01.47\00:05:06.06
And then the Bible adds
00:05:06.07\00:05:07.87
and this is
important not by works.
00:05:07.88\00:05:13.01
So, no one can boast.
00:05:13.02\00:05:16.36
So this makes it
very, very plain.
00:05:16.37\00:05:18.85
No body can be
saved by being good
00:05:18.86\00:05:22.54
or by doing good but the
Bible does say these good works
00:05:22.55\00:05:28.44
have been created in us to do.
00:05:28.45\00:05:32.72
If we
understand the relationship
00:05:32.73\00:05:34.56
between the three words
grace, faith, and works,
00:05:34.57\00:05:38.64
we'll
understand, how to be saved?
00:05:38.65\00:05:43.09
I am sure many of
you have heard the story
00:05:43.10\00:05:45.70
that took place
many, many years ago
00:05:45.71\00:05:49.75
when the slave trade
was such an abomination
00:05:49.76\00:05:53.33
on the face of the earth
when it was this bleeding sore,
00:05:53.34\00:05:57.84
this cancer on
the face of society.
00:05:57.85\00:06:02.00
That a black prince from Africa
00:06:02.01\00:06:04.77
was put on the stand
00:06:04.78\00:06:07.22
to be sold, can you believe it?
00:06:07.23\00:06:10.79
They did this in America,
00:06:10.80\00:06:12.93
they did this in
many parts of the world.
00:06:12.94\00:06:15.94
Black people were
put on the auction stand
00:06:15.95\00:06:20.02
and they were sold.
00:06:20.03\00:06:24.59
And there was a
man who was a prince,
00:06:24.60\00:06:27.98
strong good looking black man
00:06:27.99\00:06:31.50
from the heart of Africa.
00:06:31.51\00:06:34.77
And when people came to
prod him and look at him
00:06:34.78\00:06:37.36
to see if he was worth buying.
00:06:37.37\00:06:40.63
When they would
open his mouth to examine
00:06:40.64\00:06:42.41
the state of his
teeth as so he was a horse.
00:06:42.42\00:06:48.26
he would say, I
won't work, I won't work.
00:06:48.27\00:06:53.97
You can do what you wish
00:06:53.98\00:06:55.92
but I'll never,
never work, I won't work.
00:06:55.93\00:07:01.56
But a man came
along and purchased him.
00:07:01.57\00:07:06.05
Then he came to
this black prince
00:07:06.06\00:07:09.23
and gave him the
certificate that showed
00:07:09.24\00:07:12.14
that he had been purchased.
00:07:12.15\00:07:15.11
And he said to the slave
00:07:15.12\00:07:16.63
no longer the slave be
00:07:16.64\00:07:19.02
the man who had
been sold as a slave
00:07:19.03\00:07:22.44
you don't need to work anymore,
00:07:22.45\00:07:25.59
because you are free.
00:07:25.60\00:07:29.19
The poor black prince
said I don't understand.
00:07:29.20\00:07:33.67
I've told you I won't work.
00:07:33.68\00:07:35.20
The man said you
don't have to work.
00:07:35.21\00:07:38.44
I've purchased your pardon.
00:07:38.45\00:07:41.43
I've purchased
your price, you're free.
00:07:41.44\00:07:45.88
And the prince
fell down at his feet's
00:07:45.89\00:07:48.27
and grasped him by
the ankles and said
00:07:48.28\00:07:52.46
I will serve you forever.
00:07:52.47\00:07:58.09
This of course,
prompted a little religious poem
00:07:58.10\00:08:03.91
that said I would
not work my soul to save,
00:08:03.92\00:08:08.51
for this my Lord has done.
00:08:08.52\00:08:11.19
But I would work like any slave
00:08:11.20\00:08:13.51
for the love of
God's dearest son.
00:08:13.52\00:08:17.26
This poor slave
was saved by grace
00:08:17.27\00:08:22.75
and he accepted
it through faith.
00:08:22.76\00:08:26.97
And then he said I
will serve you forever.
00:08:26.98\00:08:32.93
The mark that a man or woman
00:08:32.94\00:08:35.22
has been redeemed
00:08:35.23\00:08:38.82
is that he is willing
to work and work forever
00:08:38.83\00:08:43.44
for the redeemer.
00:08:43.45\00:08:48.07
So let the word go
forth from this pulpit today
00:08:48.08\00:08:52.01
that we're saved by grace
00:08:52.02\00:08:54.26
through the blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:08:54.27\00:08:58.24
We cannot save ourselves,
00:08:58.25\00:08:59.71
because we're
hopelessly lost in our sins,
00:08:59.72\00:09:03.87
but Christ has purchased
with his own blood our freedom,
00:09:03.88\00:09:08.58
and today we must accept
it not only intellectually
00:09:08.59\00:09:12.14
but with our--all of our souls.
00:09:12.15\00:09:15.43
And when a person
comes to a realization
00:09:15.44\00:09:18.56
that he has been redeemed
by the blood of God's own son,
00:09:18.57\00:09:24.49
he will cry up master
00:09:24.50\00:09:26.79
I will serve you forever.
00:09:26.80\00:09:31.99
And when a person
comes to know God,
00:09:32.00\00:09:35.54
he will want to obey
00:09:35.55\00:09:37.70
the commandments of
God this is important.
00:09:37.71\00:09:40.81
Come over here with me
to Romans 3 and verse 31,
00:09:40.82\00:09:44.74
Romans Chapter 3 and verse 31,
00:09:44.75\00:09:48.95
the words of the
great apostle Paul
00:09:48.96\00:09:52.21
again Romans 3 and verse 31.
00:09:52.22\00:09:55.91
He says, "Do we, then,
nullify the law by this faith?
00:09:55.92\00:10:01.08
Not at all!
Rather, we uphold the law."
00:10:01.09\00:10:04.99
Let this saying my friend,
00:10:05.00\00:10:06.36
sync down into the
molecules of our minds
00:10:06.37\00:10:10.01
that we're saved
by the blood of Christ
00:10:10.02\00:10:12.50
and we're
accepted through faith.
00:10:12.51\00:10:16.41
But this faith does not nullify
00:10:16.42\00:10:19.83
the commandments of God.
00:10:19.84\00:10:24.41
Why did God give us
His Commandments I wonder?
00:10:24.42\00:10:27.66
Why did God give
us His Commandments?
00:10:27.67\00:10:30.72
Because it's important my friend
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.77
for our safety
00:10:33.78\00:10:37.58
and our security
00:10:37.59\00:10:40.42
here in the
United States of America
00:10:40.43\00:10:42.86
we drive on the right
hand side of the road.
00:10:42.87\00:10:46.32
But in Australia
00:10:46.33\00:10:47.54
the right side
is the wrong side.
00:10:47.55\00:10:51.02
But here in America,
00:10:51.03\00:10:54.04
the right side
is the right side.
00:10:54.05\00:10:58.16
It is the law.
00:10:58.17\00:11:00.09
Faith does not
abolish the law of God.
00:11:00.10\00:11:05.49
God gave us the law
00:11:05.50\00:11:08.08
for our safety and our security
00:11:08.09\00:11:12.93
which helps us to understand
00:11:12.94\00:11:15.86
why the great antichrist
00:11:15.87\00:11:18.52
endeavored to
change the law of God,
00:11:18.53\00:11:23.73
as we shall see hopefully today.
00:11:23.74\00:11:27.99
Now we're going
to have a revision
00:11:28.00\00:11:29.89
of the identification
marks of the antichrist
00:11:29.90\00:11:33.44
of Bible prophecy.
00:11:33.45\00:11:35.38
We're gonna put
this up on the screen,
00:11:35.39\00:11:37.17
because I spend a lot
of time last week on this.
00:11:37.18\00:11:39.74
But I want you to come
now to Second Thessalonians
00:11:39.75\00:11:41.89
Chapter 2 and verse 3 and 4,
00:11:41.90\00:11:46.61
this is an illusion
00:11:46.62\00:11:48.84
or description
of the antichrist."
00:11:48.85\00:11:52.51
Don't let anyone
deceive you in any way,
00:11:52.52\00:11:55.67
for that day will not
come until the rebellion occurs
00:11:55.68\00:11:59.35
and the man of lawlessness."
00:11:59.36\00:12:01.52
He is against the law of God.
00:12:01.53\00:12:03.86
"Is revealed, the man
doomed to destruction.
00:12:03.87\00:12:07.13
He will oppose and will
exalt himself over everything
00:12:07.14\00:12:10.49
that is called
God or is worshipped,
00:12:10.50\00:12:13.06
so that he sets
himself up in God's temple,
00:12:13.07\00:12:15.83
proclaiming himself to be God."
00:12:15.84\00:12:20.95
This is a stunner.
00:12:20.96\00:12:23.59
The Bible tells me
that the man of lawlessness.
00:12:23.60\00:12:28.78
The man who
changes the law of God
00:12:28.79\00:12:33.33
is found inside the church.
00:12:33.34\00:12:39.27
This of course, does away
with a notion that communism
00:12:39.28\00:12:42.76
is the antichrist of Daniel 7.
00:12:42.77\00:12:46.16
The antichrist of Daniel 7
00:12:46.17\00:12:49.62
is the apostate church
00:12:49.63\00:12:52.83
that changes the law of God.
00:12:52.84\00:12:55.22
He is the great pretender.
00:12:55.23\00:12:58.57
In fact, he is
the great counterfeit.
00:12:58.58\00:13:04.54
Come with me over to the
Book of Daniel Chapter 7.
00:13:04.55\00:13:07.92
Now we spent an hour
on this last Sabbath.
00:13:07.93\00:13:10.69
Daniel Chapter 7 that actually
gives the identification marks
00:13:10.70\00:13:15.47
of the antichrist
power of Bible prophecy.
00:13:15.48\00:13:19.27
Daniel 7 and there you
have the four beasts the lion,
00:13:19.28\00:13:23.42
the bear, the
leopard, the monster.
00:13:23.43\00:13:25.57
Babylon,
Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome
00:13:25.58\00:13:28.11
and we talked
about this last week.
00:13:28.12\00:13:30.94
But Daniel 7 verse 8 says.
00:13:30.95\00:13:34.07
Now look at verse 7 too.
00:13:34.08\00:13:36.29
"After that, in my
vision at night I looked,
00:13:36.30\00:13:38.63
and there before me was
a fourth beast terrifying
00:13:38.64\00:13:41.57
and frightening
and very powerful..."
00:13:41.58\00:13:44.47
And we know it from our
study of this passage last week
00:13:44.48\00:13:47.79
that this text is
referring to Pagan Rome.
00:13:47.80\00:13:51.42
We're not going to
try to prove that today.
00:13:51.43\00:13:53.95
We did so last week verse 8.
00:13:53.96\00:13:55.91
"While I was
thinking about the horns."
00:13:55.92\00:13:58.53
All the kings that came
out of the Roman Empire.
00:13:58.54\00:14:02.00
"There before me was
another horn, a little one,
00:14:02.01\00:14:05.82
which came up among them;
and three of the first horns
00:14:05.83\00:14:09.54
were uprooted before it.
00:14:09.55\00:14:11.02
This horn had eyes
like the eyes of a man
00:14:11.03\00:14:15.29
and a mouth that
spoke boastfully."
00:14:15.30\00:14:18.88
We noticed last
week that the antichrist
00:14:18.89\00:14:24.26
who is in the church arises
00:14:24.27\00:14:27.12
on the ruins of the Roman Empire
00:14:27.13\00:14:30.23
and he overthrows three
kingdoms or three states.
00:14:30.24\00:14:34.31
Would you please notice
verse 24 of the same chapter?
00:14:34.32\00:14:40.27
Look at verse 23, "He
gave me this explanation."
00:14:40.28\00:14:43.73
And these words are two-and
-a-half-thousand years old.
00:14:43.74\00:14:46.62
"The fourth beast
is a fourth kingdom
00:14:46.63\00:14:48.43
that will appear on earth...
00:14:48.44\00:14:50.28
"That was Roman Empire.
00:14:50.29\00:14:52.56
And verse 24 says,
00:14:52.57\00:14:54.35
"The ten horns are ten kings
00:14:54.36\00:14:56.55
who will come from this kingdom.
00:14:56.56\00:14:58.60
After them
another king will arise,
00:14:58.61\00:15:01.82
different from the earlier ones,
00:15:01.83\00:15:03.99
he will subdue three kings.'"
00:15:04.00\00:15:09.00
Please let me try to refresh
your minds from last Saturday,
00:15:09.01\00:15:14.51
the antichrist is a counterfeit.
00:15:14.52\00:15:17.64
Number 2, He comes
out of the kingdoms
00:15:17.65\00:15:21.27
and the states that
followed the Roman Empire.
00:15:21.28\00:15:25.25
Therefore, this
great pseudo church power
00:15:25.26\00:15:29.93
is a European power.
00:15:29.94\00:15:34.28
The Bible says he comes up
after the kingdoms of Europe.
00:15:34.29\00:15:38.41
We have read that after 500A.D,
00:15:38.42\00:15:41.28
says that in Daniel 7:24.
00:15:41.29\00:15:44.32
The Bible tells us we read
the text in Daniel 7 verse 8.
00:15:44.33\00:15:47.84
"He overthrows 3 kings."
00:15:47.85\00:15:50.58
On the ruins of the Roman Empire
00:15:50.59\00:15:52.86
there came a
tremendous church organization
00:15:52.87\00:15:56.66
and that great
church organization
00:15:56.67\00:15:58.72
overthrew the
Haruli, the Vandals
00:15:58.73\00:16:02.25
and the
Ostrogoths, this is history.
00:16:02.26\00:16:07.35
Daniel 7 verse
20, notice it please.
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.17
Daniel 7 verse 20, "I
also wanted to know about
00:16:10.18\00:16:14.52
the ten horns on its
head and about the other horn
00:16:14.53\00:16:18.53
that came up, the other king,
00:16:18.54\00:16:21.08
before which three
of them fell - the horn
00:16:21.09\00:16:24.24
that looked more
imposing than the others
00:16:24.25\00:16:27.15
and that had eyes and a
mouth that spoke boastfully."
00:16:27.16\00:16:32.25
The Bible tells me
that this power even though
00:16:32.26\00:16:36.42
he starts in a small way,
00:16:36.43\00:16:39.37
he becomes
greater than the others.
00:16:39.38\00:16:44.32
Now you may ask
me this question.
00:16:44.33\00:16:47.75
Where did you get
these interpretations,
00:16:47.76\00:16:51.72
because many folks,
most folks in this great land
00:16:51.73\00:16:55.00
of the United States of
America have never heard
00:16:55.01\00:16:57.80
these subjects explained,
this was taught by the puritans.
00:16:57.81\00:17:02.74
All other great
churches that were raised up
00:17:02.75\00:17:05.20
in this part of the world.
00:17:05.21\00:17:07.50
All of those churches
believed once upon a time
00:17:07.51\00:17:12.33
what I am talking about
here today, the Baptist Church,
00:17:12.34\00:17:16.15
the Methodist
Church, the Lutheran Church,
00:17:16.16\00:17:19.07
the Congressional
Church, the Presbyterian Church,
00:17:19.08\00:17:22.95
they all taught that the great
antichrist of Bible prophecy
00:17:22.96\00:17:28.15
was the church that
came out of the Roman Empire
00:17:28.16\00:17:33.28
and that is called
even today the Roman Church.
00:17:33.29\00:17:39.02
So he is greater and the
Bible says, he is different.
00:17:39.03\00:17:44.07
And the reason he is different
00:17:44.08\00:17:46.16
to the other kings of Europe,
00:17:46.17\00:17:48.41
the reason he is different
to the British monarchy
00:17:48.42\00:17:52.54
and other monarchies is because
00:17:52.55\00:17:55.23
he is a religious power.
00:17:55.24\00:17:59.79
And we shall see this today.
00:17:59.80\00:18:03.17
Bible prophecy
teaches that he would rule
00:18:03.18\00:18:05.54
the world for 1260 years.
00:18:05.55\00:18:08.90
We noticed this last week.
00:18:08.91\00:18:10.46
Daniel 7 and verse 25,
00:18:10.47\00:18:14.75
"He will speak
against the Most High
00:18:14.76\00:18:17.66
and oppress his saints."
00:18:17.67\00:18:18.82
He will persecute.
00:18:18.83\00:18:20.95
"And try to change the
set times and the laws.
00:18:20.96\00:18:25.84
The saints will be handed over
00:18:25.85\00:18:27.53
to him for a time,
times and half a time."
00:18:27.54\00:18:32.37
You will remember that last week
00:18:32.38\00:18:34.73
I showed you from
the Bible that the time,
00:18:34.74\00:18:37.88
times and half a time represent
00:18:37.89\00:18:41.46
three-and-a-half years.
00:18:41.47\00:18:44.58
There are 360 days
in a prophetic calendar.
00:18:44.59\00:18:50.35
360 multiplied
by three -and-a-half
00:18:50.36\00:18:54.07
equals 1260 days.
00:18:54.08\00:18:59.15
In the prophecy of
Revelation Chapter 12,
00:18:59.16\00:19:02.32
it actually says 1260 days.
00:19:02.33\00:19:05.85
In Revelation 13
it says 42 months,
00:19:05.86\00:19:09.22
42 months multiplied by 30
00:19:09.23\00:19:11.80
comes to 1260 days.
00:19:11.81\00:19:15.93
We also noticed last week
00:19:15.94\00:19:20.40
that all the great
commentators of the Bible,
00:19:20.41\00:19:23.30
the puritans, all
the great Bible scholars
00:19:23.31\00:19:26.69
believed that in Bible prophecy
00:19:26.70\00:19:30.69
a day represented a year.
00:19:30.70\00:19:35.32
And so this church
the Bible says would rule
00:19:35.33\00:19:38.56
the world for 1260 years.
00:19:38.57\00:19:43.31
It is a fact
that a Church of Rome
00:19:45.60\00:19:48.67
became a world power
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.77
in the year 538
00:19:50.78\00:19:55.95
and introduced to
the world the Dark Ages.
00:19:55.96\00:20:00.98
The 1260 years if
you add them on to 538
00:20:00.99\00:20:06.06
finished in 1798.
00:20:06.07\00:20:10.80
That was officially
the end of the Dark Ages.
00:20:10.81\00:20:14.39
As the great British
theologian Dr. Wally said,
00:20:14.40\00:20:18.55
the noonday of the papacy
00:20:18.56\00:20:22.82
was the midnight of the world.
00:20:22.83\00:20:27.58
And in 1798, General Berthier,
00:20:27.59\00:20:31.50
one of the generals
of Napoleon Bonaparte
00:20:31.51\00:20:34.96
marched down into Rome
00:20:34.97\00:20:37.40
and took the pope prisoner
00:20:37.41\00:20:41.50
according to Bible prophecy.
00:20:41.51\00:20:46.02
And there may be
some sitting here today
00:20:46.03\00:20:48.19
and you say how I
can believe the Bible.
00:20:48.20\00:20:53.91
After this meeting
today, you will have no reason
00:20:53.92\00:20:57.06
why you can't believe the Bible,
00:20:57.07\00:21:00.93
because here we have
the history of the world
00:21:00.94\00:21:05.96
told in advance, thousands
of years before it happened.
00:21:05.97\00:21:10.93
And if God has a
plan for the world,
00:21:10.94\00:21:13.08
then surely He has a
plan for you also, my friend.
00:21:13.09\00:21:18.75
We have proof
that the Bible is true.
00:21:18.76\00:21:23.30
There's no reason why
anybody here should be stumbling
00:21:23.31\00:21:26.51
in darkness when we have
the prophecies of the Bible.
00:21:26.52\00:21:31.81
Point number 8,
we noticed last week,
00:21:31.82\00:21:35.09
the antichrist is a
union of church and state
00:21:35.10\00:21:38.33
we saw that last week.
00:21:38.34\00:21:40.53
We noticed last week that in
Revelation 17 point number 9,
00:21:40.54\00:21:46.10
that the antichrist is found
00:21:46.11\00:21:48.94
in the city of Rome itself.
00:21:48.95\00:21:52.90
Goodness! Come over
here to Revelation Chapter 17
00:21:52.91\00:21:58.33
and verse 18.
00:21:58.34\00:22:02.92
Revelation 17 and
verse 18. "The woman."
00:22:02.93\00:22:05.93
And in Bible prophecy a woman
always represents the church.
00:22:05.94\00:22:11.76
A good woman
represents a good church,
00:22:11.77\00:22:14.33
a bad woman
represents a bad church.
00:22:14.34\00:22:18.14
"The woman you
saw is the great city
00:22:18.15\00:22:21.11
that rouses over
the kings of the earth."
00:22:21.12\00:22:25.29
And the city that reigned
over the kings of the earth
00:22:25.30\00:22:28.36
in the days of the Bible writers
00:22:28.37\00:22:30.95
of the New Testament
was the city of Rome.
00:22:30.96\00:22:35.67
How can people dispute this?
00:22:35.68\00:22:39.05
Even my friends in
the great Roman Church
00:22:39.06\00:22:43.29
and there are many
saints in that great church.
00:22:43.30\00:22:47.13
But virtually every
Roman Catholic theologian
00:22:47.14\00:22:51.69
says that the city
here of Revelation 17
00:22:51.70\00:22:56.42
is the city of Rome.
00:22:56.43\00:22:59.60
If you get a Roman
Catholic commentary,
00:22:59.61\00:23:01.62
it says this is 'Rome.'
00:23:01.63\00:23:07.27
And so we're looking at
a union of church and state
00:23:07.28\00:23:10.69
found in the great city that
roused during the Dark Ages,
00:23:10.70\00:23:14.65
that is different
greater than the others,
00:23:14.66\00:23:16.88
that is a counterfeit.
00:23:16.89\00:23:20.28
Let the word go out
today from this church,
00:23:20.29\00:23:24.27
that God loves all people.
00:23:24.28\00:23:28.40
And God has got His
children in every church.
00:23:28.41\00:23:32.83
He's got a multitude
of wonderful Christian
00:23:32.84\00:23:37.80
people in a
Roman Catholic Church.
00:23:37.81\00:23:42.88
There's no doubt about that.
00:23:42.89\00:23:45.76
And it is the purpose of
the word of God to lead those,
00:23:45.77\00:23:51.04
the loved souls to
the full light of gospel.
00:23:51.05\00:23:56.37
And that is why you
read in Revelation 18
00:23:56.38\00:23:59.70
where it says, "Come
out of her my people."
00:23:59.71\00:24:05.44
We shouldn't think
all of God's people
00:24:05.45\00:24:08.33
are in this church, not at all.
00:24:08.34\00:24:13.88
In the last days
God calls to the people
00:24:13.89\00:24:16.89
that are found in this
great apostate church and God
00:24:16.90\00:24:20.40
says come out of her my people.
00:24:20.41\00:24:24.33
And God's people will
come out of that church.
00:24:24.34\00:24:28.24
This is the word of the Lord.
00:24:28.25\00:24:30.77
The Bible says, in Daniel 7:25
00:24:30.78\00:24:34.37
that this great
church persecutes.
00:24:34.38\00:24:40.03
Now, I don't need to
elaborate this today.
00:24:40.04\00:24:45.43
Last week we
showed you the pictures.
00:24:45.44\00:24:50.12
It is believed by
00:24:50.13\00:24:52.04
many conservative scholars
00:24:52.05\00:24:56.55
that the great
Church of Rome put to death
00:24:56.56\00:24:59.92
during the Dark Ages
00:24:59.93\00:25:02.13
between fifty
00:25:02.14\00:25:04.10
and a hundred million souls.
00:25:04.11\00:25:08.63
If you doubt it,
go get an encyclopedia
00:25:08.64\00:25:12.27
and spend a little time
reading about the inquisition.
00:25:12.28\00:25:17.47
But I want you
folks to know this,
00:25:17.48\00:25:19.87
the religion of Jesus
00:25:19.88\00:25:23.40
never persecuted a single soul.
00:25:23.41\00:25:27.35
Jesus wants us to serve
him, because we love Him.
00:25:30.08\00:25:35.41
He never coerces a single soul.
00:25:35.42\00:25:39.70
And if we serve God,
because we're afraid of Him
00:25:39.71\00:25:43.45
it's because we don't know Him.
00:25:43.46\00:25:47.19
But this great church
00:25:47.20\00:25:50.36
symbolize here by the
woman riding the beast
00:25:50.37\00:25:55.71
was and remains a
persecuting power.
00:25:55.72\00:26:00.76
Point number 11,
00:26:00.77\00:26:02.55
this power would receive a
deadly wound, Revelation 13,
00:26:02.56\00:26:06.55
that happened in 1798.
00:26:06.56\00:26:10.03
Point number 12, the more
her wound would be healed,
00:26:10.04\00:26:13.34
she would comeback with
all the fury of the Dark Ages.
00:26:13.35\00:26:17.51
And point number 13,
she changes the law of God,
00:26:17.52\00:26:21.87
could you believe it.
00:26:21.88\00:26:24.28
And point number 14,
00:26:24.29\00:26:26.13
she lasts and
endures to the second coming.
00:26:26.14\00:26:31.87
No power my friend on
the face of this earth
00:26:31.88\00:26:35.40
is going to
bring down that power.
00:26:35.41\00:26:39.28
God will bring down that
power when Jesus returns.
00:26:39.29\00:26:43.10
Amen, amen.
00:26:43.11\00:26:44.93
But you notice,
00:26:44.94\00:26:45.93
these undeniable proofs tell us
00:26:49.15\00:26:54.33
that we're talking here about
00:26:54.34\00:26:55.72
the great
church of the Dark Ages
00:26:55.73\00:26:58.20
that lives on
and that influences
00:26:58.21\00:27:01.73
the whole world
and becomes stronger
00:27:01.74\00:27:05.90
and stronger everyday.
00:27:05.91\00:27:11.22
And the Bible
says that this power
00:27:11.23\00:27:15.58
would attempt to
change the law of God
00:27:15.59\00:27:19.75
and in so doing would
strike a tremendous blow
00:27:19.76\00:27:25.57
at the religion of the Bible
00:27:25.58\00:27:28.21
and the God of Christianity.
00:27:28.22\00:27:31.91
And come with me to
Daniel 7 and verse 25, please.
00:27:31.92\00:27:36.67
Daniel 7 and verse 25,
00:27:36.68\00:27:41.61
"He will speak
against the Most High
00:27:43.52\00:27:47.29
and oppress his saints."
00:27:47.30\00:27:48.52
Persecute them.
00:27:48.53\00:27:50.22
"And try to change the
set times and the laws..."
00:27:50.23\00:27:55.84
The Bible says
that the Church of Rome
00:27:55.85\00:28:00.01
would change the times
00:28:00.02\00:28:04.47
and the laws
00:28:04.48\00:28:07.45
and when the
Bible says the times,
00:28:07.46\00:28:10.55
it means the times of God.
00:28:10.56\00:28:16.21
And when it
talks about the laws,
00:28:16.22\00:28:18.19
it is referring
to the laws of God.
00:28:18.20\00:28:24.14
What greater act of blasphemy
00:28:24.15\00:28:28.48
could be
considered or even devised
00:28:28.49\00:28:33.15
that a power calling himself
the church of the living God,
00:28:33.16\00:28:38.95
or calling itself the
church of the living God
00:28:38.96\00:28:42.45
would make war
against the holy law of God
00:28:42.46\00:28:46.67
and the times of God.
00:28:46.68\00:28:49.78
I want you to comeback
now to Exodus Chapter 31
00:28:49.79\00:28:52.36
and we have a text here
that talks about the law of God.
00:28:52.37\00:28:56.46
Exodus 31 and verse 18.
00:28:56.47\00:29:00.83
Notice it in the holy Bible.
00:29:00.84\00:29:03.78
This is not my
teaching, we're simply going
00:29:03.79\00:29:06.39
according to the
teachings of the Bible.
00:29:06.40\00:29:09.11
"When the Lord finished
00:29:09.12\00:29:10.39
speaking to
Moses on Mount Sinai,
00:29:10.40\00:29:13.68
he gave him the two
tablets of the Testimony,
00:29:13.69\00:29:17.02
the tablets of stone inscribed
00:29:17.03\00:29:19.40
inscribed by the finger of God."
00:29:19.41\00:29:22.77
Just look at me for a moment,
00:29:22.78\00:29:25.71
can you believe this?
00:29:25.72\00:29:27.88
Can you believe it?
00:29:27.89\00:29:29.55
Can you believe this?
00:29:29.56\00:29:31.52
That almighty
God, Yahweh, Elohim,
00:29:31.53\00:29:35.64
came down in fiery splendor
00:29:35.65\00:29:38.38
and came down on Mount Sinai.
00:29:38.39\00:29:41.91
And with his own mouth
00:29:41.92\00:29:44.53
he spoke the Ten Commandments.
00:29:44.54\00:29:45.60
I am the Lord your God,
00:29:48.75\00:29:50.93
you shall have no
other gods before Me.
00:29:50.94\00:29:55.83
You shall not make
yourself a graven image.
00:29:55.84\00:29:59.39
God spoke the Ten Commandments
00:29:59.40\00:30:01.93
with his own
mouth and almighty God
00:30:01.94\00:30:05.46
wrote them with His own finger.
00:30:05.47\00:30:07.46
Don't tell me
they're not important.
00:30:07.47\00:30:12.43
And the Bible says
that the great church,
00:30:12.44\00:30:17.76
the great
church of the Dark Ages
00:30:17.77\00:30:21.35
which is still around today
00:30:21.36\00:30:23.53
influencing the
lives of billions.
00:30:23.54\00:30:26.18
That great church the
Bible says would attack
00:30:26.19\00:30:29.90
the commandments of God.
00:30:29.91\00:30:33.99
This is not speculation.
00:30:34.00\00:30:35.82
I want you to come over here
at Romans Chapter 7 and verse 7.
00:30:35.83\00:30:41.47
Romans Chapter 7
00:30:41.48\00:30:44.78
and verse 7 in the holy Bible.
00:30:44.79\00:30:47.79
Look at the text,
Romans 7 and verse 7,
00:30:47.80\00:30:53.47
"What shall we say, then?
00:30:53.48\00:30:55.95
Is the law sin? Certainly not!
00:30:55.96\00:30:58.62
Indeed I would not have known
00:30:58.63\00:31:00.81
what sin was
except through the law..."
00:31:00.82\00:31:05.59
And listen to
this very carefully.
00:31:05.60\00:31:08.68
You and I would not
feel a need of a Savior,
00:31:08.69\00:31:14.47
but for the law of God.
00:31:14.48\00:31:17.62
The law points out sin,
00:31:17.63\00:31:21.55
and because of sin we
cry out for the Savior.
00:31:21.56\00:31:27.48
If you and I in someway
00:31:27.49\00:31:30.13
should get away
from the laws of God,
00:31:30.14\00:31:33.76
we would not feel
the need of a Savior.
00:31:33.77\00:31:37.65
Because the Bible tells
us you and I would not know
00:31:37.66\00:31:42.36
what sin was except
00:31:42.37\00:31:44.88
for the holy
commandments of God.
00:31:44.89\00:31:48.78
And so you and I need
the commandments of God,
00:31:48.79\00:31:52.24
the Ten Commandments.
00:31:52.25\00:31:54.00
The Ten Commandments are
the foundation of civilization
00:31:54.01\00:31:59.16
they're recognized by
all mainstream churches.
00:31:59.17\00:32:02.87
Now please, nobody
come to me after the meeting
00:32:02.88\00:32:07.42
and say don't you know the
Ten Commandments were abolished?
00:32:07.43\00:32:12.37
Don't come to me with
that foolish argument,
00:32:12.38\00:32:16.38
because you don't believe it.
00:32:16.39\00:32:19.25
The Ten Commandments are eternal
00:32:19.26\00:32:22.81
and the commandments of
God were given by almighty God
00:32:22.82\00:32:26.75
for our freedom
00:32:26.76\00:32:28.54
and our security.
00:32:28.55\00:32:32.63
Every great church has
upheld the commandments of God.
00:32:32.64\00:32:37.23
Only churches that are
based on radical heresies
00:32:37.24\00:32:42.71
reject the commandments of God.
00:32:42.72\00:32:46.20
You say, are you
absolutely certain, absolutely.
00:32:46.21\00:32:50.11
The Lutheran Church
teaches the Ten Commandments.
00:32:50.12\00:32:52.60
The Roman Catholic Church
teaches the Ten Commandments.
00:32:52.61\00:32:55.90
The Presbyterian
Church, the Methodist church,
00:32:55.91\00:33:00.23
every great mainstream church
00:33:00.24\00:33:03.71
upholds the commandments
00:33:03.72\00:33:06.02
of God, no exception.
00:33:06.03\00:33:09.94
Now my mother was a member
00:33:09.95\00:33:14.37
of the great Church of England.
00:33:14.38\00:33:20.01
And if you read the
book 'Feed My Sheep'
00:33:20.02\00:33:22.31
by that great
preacher H.M.S. Richards,
00:33:22.32\00:33:26.31
he talks about the
Church of England and says,
00:33:26.32\00:33:29.16
never criticize
that great church,
00:33:29.17\00:33:32.85
because she gave us the Bible.
00:33:32.86\00:33:38.70
And I am proud that I came
out of the Church of England.
00:33:38.71\00:33:41.81
The Church of England
gave us the King James Version
00:33:41.82\00:33:46.86
which is still the most
popular Bible in America.
00:33:46.87\00:33:51.25
And when Americans come to me
00:33:53.05\00:33:55.05
and they talk to me
about the King James Version,
00:33:55.06\00:33:58.97
I say I am so glad to
hear you talk like that,
00:33:58.98\00:34:03.13
because you're
talking about the Bible
00:34:03.14\00:34:06.31
that came from my old church.
00:34:06.32\00:34:11.00
The Church of England,
now the Church of England
00:34:11.01\00:34:13.81
also gave us a
marvelous catechism.
00:34:13.82\00:34:18.07
Follow the prayers of some of
the great saints like Latimer.
00:34:18.08\00:34:22.46
In a one part of the catechism
00:34:25.17\00:34:26.66
they have of course
the Ten Commandments.
00:34:26.67\00:34:30.73
And the priests stand
before the congregation
00:34:30.74\00:34:33.83
and he goes through
each of the Ten Commandments.
00:34:33.84\00:34:38.24
There shall have no
other gods before me.
00:34:38.25\00:34:40.96
And the congregation responds,
00:34:40.97\00:34:43.05
Lord have mercy upon us
00:34:43.06\00:34:45.13
and incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:34:45.14\00:34:48.05
That's what you
should pray today.
00:34:48.06\00:34:50.44
That's what I should pray.
00:34:50.45\00:34:52.65
When I read the
Ten Commandments,
00:34:52.66\00:34:54.41
I shouldn't try to get away
from the commandments of God.
00:34:54.42\00:34:57.57
I ought to send
up a prayer to God
00:34:57.58\00:34:59.34
and say Lord have mercy upon us.
00:34:59.35\00:35:03.12
And incline our
hearts to keep this law.
00:35:03.13\00:35:07.33
It is the holy law of God.
00:35:07.34\00:35:12.21
Has any church the authority
to change the law of God.
00:35:12.22\00:35:16.69
Come over here to
Deuteronomy 4 and verse 2,
00:35:16.70\00:35:20.53
Deuteronomy
Chapter 4, has any church
00:35:20.54\00:35:23.78
the right to
change the law of God,
00:35:23.79\00:35:27.31
I ask you.
00:35:27.32\00:35:30.29
Deuteronomy 4 and verse 2,
00:35:30.30\00:35:34.76
"Do not add to
what I command you
00:35:34.77\00:35:37.87
and do not subtract from it,
00:35:37.88\00:35:40.43
but keep the
commandments of the Lord
00:35:40.44\00:35:42.59
your God that I give you."
00:35:42.60\00:35:44.92
Almighty God says,
don't add to my law
00:35:44.93\00:35:48.66
and don't take away from it.
00:35:48.67\00:35:52.17
But the antichrist obviously
00:35:52.18\00:35:53.86
he was not going to
be obedient to that text,
00:35:53.87\00:35:56.40
because the Bible
says the great church
00:35:56.41\00:35:59.63
would change times and laws.
00:35:59.64\00:36:04.79
Now I want you come to Exodus 20
00:36:07.22\00:36:10.35
because there you've
got the Ten Commandments
00:36:10.36\00:36:12.21
and we all want to know those
Ten Commandments up by heart.
00:36:12.22\00:36:16.49
The commandments of God
written by the finger of God's
00:36:18.58\00:36:22.14
spoken by the mouth of God.
00:36:22.15\00:36:24.74
Verse 3, "You shall have
no other gods before me."
00:36:24.75\00:36:27.86
Second commandment for,
00:36:27.87\00:36:29.14
"You shall not make
for yourself an idol..."
00:36:29.15\00:36:32.33
The Bible says no idols
or statues in the church.
00:36:32.34\00:36:37.89
Verse 7, "You shall not misuse
00:36:39.59\00:36:41.73
the name of the
Lord your God..."
00:36:41.74\00:36:43.76
You know, my friend
when I hear blasphemy,
00:36:43.77\00:36:47.38
it makes my blood run cold.
00:36:47.39\00:36:51.47
When I hear
people say, oh my God!
00:36:51.48\00:36:56.59
And most people in
this part of the world
00:36:56.60\00:36:59.56
are continually
blaspheming the name of God,
00:36:59.57\00:37:04.02
but not the name of Mohammad,
00:37:04.03\00:37:08.45
but the name of Jesus, yes.
00:37:08.46\00:37:10.20
The Bible says you
shall not blaspheme.
00:37:10.21\00:37:14.79
Verse 8,
"Remember the Sabbath day
00:37:14.80\00:37:16.72
by keeping it holy.
00:37:16.73\00:37:19.13
Six days you shall
labor and do all your work,
00:37:19.14\00:37:21.89
but the seventh day is a Sabbath
00:37:21.90\00:37:23.80
to the Lord your God.
00:37:23.81\00:37:25.19
On it you shall not
do any work, neither you,
00:37:25.20\00:37:29.23
nor your son or daughter,
00:37:29.24\00:37:31.88
your manservant or maidservant,
00:37:31.89\00:37:33.79
nor any animals, nor
the alien within your gates.
00:37:33.80\00:37:37.85
For in six days the Lord
00:37:37.86\00:37:39.24
made the heavens
and the earth, the sea,
00:37:39.25\00:37:41.53
and all that is in them, and
he rested on the seventh day.
00:37:41.54\00:37:44.79
Therefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day
00:37:44.80\00:37:47.39
and made it holy."
00:37:47.40\00:37:48.73
It's the biggest commandment
00:37:48.74\00:37:49.73
only one that God says remember.
00:37:49.74\00:37:52.17
"Honor your
father and your mother...
00:37:52.18\00:37:53.93
Verse 13, "You
shall not murder."
00:37:53.94\00:37:55.92
Verse 14, "You
shall not commit adultery.
00:37:55.93\00:37:58.57
You shall not steal.
00:37:58.58\00:37:59.97
You shall not give
false testimony..."
00:37:59.98\00:38:01.90
Verse 17, "You
shall not covet..."
00:38:01.91\00:38:04.81
So, there you have
00:38:04.82\00:38:06.57
the ten awesome words
of God that are eternal.
00:38:06.58\00:38:12.22
Now, the Bible
says, that the antichrist
00:38:14.36\00:38:19.87
would change the
times and the laws.
00:38:19.88\00:38:25.38
I suggest you read
through those Ten Commandments
00:38:25.39\00:38:28.79
again and memorize them,
get them into your hearts.
00:38:28.80\00:38:32.80
And you read
through those commandments
00:38:35.11\00:38:37.45
and you will discover,
there is only one commandment
00:38:37.46\00:38:40.47
that talks
about times, only one.
00:38:40.48\00:38:45.51
Nor they shall
not commit adultery,
00:38:45.52\00:38:47.70
nor they shall not steal,
00:38:47.71\00:38:49.92
or they shall have
no other gods before me.
00:38:49.93\00:38:51.98
They don't talk about times.
00:38:51.99\00:38:53.46
There is one commandment,
only one commandment
00:38:53.47\00:38:57.26
that talks about times
and that is the holy Sabbath.
00:38:57.27\00:39:02.81
The one that
almighty God thundered for us
00:39:03.72\00:39:07.22
with the words remember.
00:39:07.23\00:39:10.74
Why should a
person keep the Sabbath?
00:39:13.31\00:39:16.81
Because it's the foundation
stone of true happiness.
00:39:16.82\00:39:22.10
It is the foundation
stone of civilization,
00:39:22.11\00:39:27.35
the truth that God made
me that I am not a product
00:39:27.36\00:39:31.34
of time plus,
matter plus chance.
00:39:31.35\00:39:33.79
What is man?
00:39:33.80\00:39:35.88
Is he a planetary eczema and
not but potential fertilizer.
00:39:35.89\00:39:40.88
I am a child of God made
by God, I am not a slave.
00:39:44.10\00:39:49.30
I am not a servant of the state.
00:39:50.93\00:39:54.16
I am a servant of God,
00:39:54.17\00:39:55.71
because I was made
by God in His own image.
00:39:55.72\00:40:00.19
The Russians played
around with this great truth
00:40:00.20\00:40:03.37
and put to death
60 million people.
00:40:03.38\00:40:08.90
Because they
said man was nothing,
00:40:08.91\00:40:12.63
man was nothing
and so they carried
00:40:12.64\00:40:15.71
a war against all people.
00:40:15.72\00:40:18.95
Man is nothing, he is a machine.
00:40:18.96\00:40:21.82
He is not even an animal.
00:40:21.83\00:40:25.49
Look at the Russian experiment
00:40:25.50\00:40:27.11
if you would know what happens,
00:40:27.12\00:40:30.10
when people forget
God as their Savior
00:40:30.11\00:40:34.60
and as their
Redeemer and their Creator.
00:40:34.61\00:40:39.77
Karl Barth
quotes some theologian
00:40:39.78\00:40:43.25
in the words when the holy day
00:40:43.26\00:40:46.22
becomes the day of man, society,
00:40:46.23\00:40:50.72
and humanity wither
away, and the demons rule.
00:40:50.73\00:40:55.17
If the demons are
starting to rule in your life,
00:40:55.18\00:40:57.34
it's because you've
given up the holy day.
00:40:57.35\00:41:01.56
What is happening to America?
00:41:01.57\00:41:03.72
I hear them cry go forth,
00:41:03.73\00:41:05.34
what is happening
to our glorious nation.
00:41:05.35\00:41:11.27
Alexander Solschenizyn,
00:41:11.28\00:41:13.64
possibly the greatest Christian
00:41:13.65\00:41:15.52
of the twentieth
century looking at the horrors
00:41:15.53\00:41:18.52
that came upon Russia
said, we've forgotten God.
00:41:18.53\00:41:23.93
And people forget God
00:41:23.94\00:41:26.81
when they forget the Sabbath.
00:41:26.82\00:41:31.33
Come over here to
Luke 23, verse 52.
00:41:34.04\00:41:38.27
Luke 23:52 and
onwards, "Going to Pilate,
00:41:38.28\00:41:43.16
he asked for Jesus' body.
00:41:43.17\00:41:44.80
Then he took it down,
wrapped it in linen cloth
00:41:44.81\00:41:47.03
and placed it in a tomb..."
00:41:47.04\00:41:49.07
Verse 54, "It was
the Preparation Day."
00:41:49.08\00:41:51.82
That day is Friday.
00:41:51.83\00:41:53.65
"And the Sabbath
is about to begin."
00:41:53.66\00:41:55.90
That's why we have
Easter Friday, Good Friday.
00:41:55.91\00:41:59.18
"The woman who
had come with Jesus
00:41:59.19\00:42:00.95
from Galilee followed
Joseph and saw the tomb
00:42:00.96\00:42:04.02
and how his body was laid in it.
00:42:04.03\00:42:06.12
Then they went home and
prepared spices and perfumes.
00:42:06.13\00:42:09.54
But they rested on the Sabbath
00:42:09.55\00:42:11.43
in obedience to
the commandments."
00:42:11.44\00:42:14.18
The commandments of God,
00:42:14.19\00:42:16.22
these holy women followed Jesus
00:42:16.23\00:42:19.80
and they kept the
Sabbath, what about you?
00:42:19.81\00:42:22.74
Chapter 24, verse 1, "On
the first day of the week..."
00:42:22.75\00:42:25.75
They came to the
tomb, but hallelujah,
00:42:25.76\00:42:28.31
Jesus had been
raised from the dead.
00:42:28.32\00:42:32.00
This is absolutely proof.
00:42:32.01\00:42:34.29
Now, just look at this,
here we've got three days.
00:42:34.30\00:42:38.88
This is the day when Jesus died.
00:42:38.89\00:42:42.04
It's the sixth day.
00:42:42.05\00:42:43.75
It is called in the
Bible the Preparation Day.
00:42:43.76\00:42:47.42
We call it Friday.
00:42:47.43\00:42:48.80
Over here you have Sunday
00:42:48.81\00:42:52.24
and the Bible tells us it
is the first day of the week
00:42:52.25\00:42:56.70
and the day between Friday and
the first day is the Sabbath.
00:42:56.71\00:43:01.73
It's the Sabbath
according to the commandments,
00:43:03.18\00:43:06.66
the Sabbath that Jesus kept.
00:43:06.67\00:43:08.92
It is the seventh day.
00:43:08.93\00:43:14.36
Now people try
00:43:14.37\00:43:19.14
to tug themselves out of it.
00:43:19.15\00:43:22.14
And they say but time
has been lost, no it hasn't.
00:43:22.15\00:43:27.05
People get lost, but not time.
00:43:27.06\00:43:30.47
Blake, would you come please.
00:43:30.48\00:43:33.01
Now Blake comes from
a rich Jewish culture.
00:43:33.02\00:43:37.84
Now, we call him
our inner house rabbi.
00:43:39.08\00:43:44.16
Blake, the Jewish
people have been keeping
00:43:44.17\00:43:47.42
the Sabbath for
thousands of years.
00:43:47.43\00:43:52.47
What is the Sabbath
according to the Bible?
00:43:52.48\00:43:56.03
The Sabbath is clearly Saturday.
00:43:56.04\00:44:00.69
Do you know how
long the Jewish people
00:44:00.70\00:44:03.38
have been keeping the Sabbath?
00:44:03.39\00:44:05.48
Certainly since
the time of the Exodus,
00:44:05.49\00:44:08.84
but we believe that the
Sabbath began at creation.
00:44:08.85\00:44:12.99
But even if you
go back to the Exodus
00:44:13.00\00:44:14.71
its
three-and-a-half thousand years.
00:44:14.72\00:44:17.73
Is this day that is
between Friday and the first day
00:44:17.74\00:44:22.45
that we call Saturday, is
that the day that Jesus kept?
00:44:22.46\00:44:26.42
It is, it is
absolutely the day that Jesus
00:44:26.43\00:44:29.88
kept and it is the
great source of comfort,
00:44:29.89\00:44:33.53
but probably what
gives me the most joy
00:44:33.54\00:44:35.62
is when I read in several verses
00:44:35.63\00:44:38.32
where it says it was Sabbath.
00:44:38.33\00:44:40.26
And Jesus was in the
synagogue as was His custom.
00:44:40.27\00:44:43.62
Yes, Blake, thank you.
00:44:43.63\00:44:46.74
Thank you.
We're glad to have you
00:44:46.75\00:44:48.25
as the member of this church,
00:44:48.26\00:44:49.59
because you're a
great blessing to us.
00:44:49.60\00:44:52.92
And folks one
person on a desert island
00:44:52.93\00:44:55.49
can loose track of time, yes?
00:44:55.50\00:44:58.23
Of course he can.
00:44:58.24\00:44:59.86
But can millions of people
scattered all around the world
00:44:59.87\00:45:04.05
can they lose time.
00:45:04.06\00:45:05.94
No. the Jewish
people and scholars
00:45:05.95\00:45:09.01
of different
countries have continued
00:45:09.02\00:45:11.46
to keep the same
day that Jesus kept
00:45:11.47\00:45:15.27
and that is the Seventh day.
00:45:15.28\00:45:17.76
Starts sunset Friday, goes
through to sunset Saturday.
00:45:17.77\00:45:21.84
Who changes the day?
00:45:21.85\00:45:23.73
Was it God? No.
00:45:23.74\00:45:26.36
Was it Jesus?
People say Jesus did.
00:45:26.37\00:45:28.38
No, He didn't.
00:45:28.39\00:45:29.53
People say, well it
must have been the apostles.
00:45:29.54\00:45:32.39
No, it wasn't the apostles.
00:45:32.40\00:45:36.14
The Bible tells me and my friend
00:45:36.15\00:45:39.83
this is plain as
the nose on your face.
00:45:39.84\00:45:44.22
When I go through
this great prophecy
00:45:47.61\00:45:49.96
and everybody
agrees with every point,
00:45:49.97\00:45:53.02
but when we get to this one,
00:45:53.03\00:45:54.44
they say oops,
but oops won't do.
00:45:54.45\00:45:59.71
The antichrist changed the day.
00:46:01.35\00:46:06.51
And my friend who is
here today is going to come
00:46:06.52\00:46:10.68
and he's going to
read Mr. Vincent Morton
00:46:10.69\00:46:13.07
he's going to come and read
00:46:13.08\00:46:15.07
from the official writings
00:46:15.08\00:46:17.90
of the as they call it the
holy Roman Catholic Church.
00:46:17.91\00:46:23.68
Listen to this, these are
the unadulterated statements
00:46:23.93\00:46:29.68
from Popes and other
Roman Catholic leaders.
00:46:29.98\00:46:35.24
Our beloved Father
Pope Leo XIII said,
00:46:48.08\00:46:53.15
we hold upon this earth
the place of God almighty.
00:46:53.16\00:46:57.22
Our beloved Father Pope
Gregory the VII said, one,
00:46:59.78\00:47:04.75
that the Roman Church was
founded by the Lord alone.
00:47:04.76\00:47:10.46
Two, that the Roman pentathlon
is justly called universal.
00:47:10.47\00:47:16.08
Three that he alone can
depose bishops or restore them.
00:47:17.09\00:47:22.12
Four, that all
princesses should kiss
00:47:23.36\00:47:26.87
the feet of the Pope alone.
00:47:26.88\00:47:30.34
Five, that it is lawful
for him to depose emperors.
00:47:30.35\00:47:35.66
Six, that his sentences are
not to be reviewed by any one
00:47:36.94\00:47:42.27
and he alone can
review the decisions of all.
00:47:43.42\00:47:48.82
Seven, that he ought
to be judged by no one.
00:47:48.83\00:47:53.96
Eight, that the Roman
Church never aired nor will it
00:47:53.97\00:47:59.04
according to scripture ever air.
00:47:59.05\00:48:03.75
I have repeatedly offered $1000
00:48:03.76\00:48:07.87
to anyone who can prove
to me from the Bible alone
00:48:07.88\00:48:11.90
that I am bound
to keep Sunday holy.
00:48:11.91\00:48:16.92
There is no such
law in the Bible,
00:48:16.93\00:48:19.98
it is a law of the
holy Catholic Church alone.
00:48:19.99\00:48:24.62
The Bible says remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:48:24.63\00:48:30.26
The Catholic Church
says no by my divine power
00:48:30.27\00:48:35.93
I abolish the Sabbath day
00:48:35.94\00:48:38.11
and command you to keep
holy the first day of the week.
00:48:38.12\00:48:42.81
And lo the entire
civilized world bows down
00:48:42.82\00:48:47.74
in a reverent
obedience to the command
00:48:47.75\00:48:50.57
of the holy Catholic Church.
00:48:50.58\00:48:53.99
T.N. Wright C.S.S.R. in
an electorate Harford Kansas,
00:48:54.00\00:48:59.52
February 18th, 1884.
00:48:59.53\00:49:03.81
The Catholic Church
for over one thousand years
00:49:03.82\00:49:06.36
before the
existence of a Protestant
00:49:06.37\00:49:09.19
by virtue of her divine mission
00:49:09.20\00:49:11.93
changed the day
from Saturday to Sunday
00:49:11.94\00:49:15.84
the Catholic
Mirror Sep. 23rd, 1893.
00:49:15.85\00:49:19.73
Question, which
is the Sabbath day?
00:49:22.75\00:49:26.34
Answer, Saturday
is the Sabbath day.
00:49:26.35\00:49:31.33
Question, why do we observe
Sunday instead of Saturday?
00:49:31.34\00:49:36.69
Answer, we observe
Sunday instead of Saturday,
00:49:36.70\00:49:40.68
because the Catholic Church
00:49:40.69\00:49:42.51
in the Council
of Laodicea 336A.D.
00:49:42.52\00:49:48.03
transferred the solemnity
from Saturday to Sunday.
00:49:48.04\00:49:52.37
Peter Giermand that converts
00:49:52.38\00:49:54.76
catechism of the
catholic doctrine,
00:49:54.77\00:49:57.30
second edition 1910, page 50.
00:49:57.31\00:50:01.91
Question, have you any other way
00:50:01.92\00:50:04.25
of proving that
the church has power
00:50:04.26\00:50:06.81
to institute
festivals of precept?
00:50:06.82\00:50:10.74
Answer, has she not such power
00:50:10.75\00:50:14.15
she could not have done
00:50:14.16\00:50:15.16
that in which all modern
religionists agree with her.
00:50:15.17\00:50:19.05
She could not have substituted
the observance of Sunday
00:50:19.06\00:50:22.21
the first day of the week
00:50:22.22\00:50:23.93
for the observance of
Saturday the seventh day.
00:50:23.94\00:50:27.68
The change for which there
is no scriptural authority.
00:50:27.69\00:50:32.31
Stephen Keenan, 'A
Doctrinal Catechism' page 174,
00:50:32.32\00:50:37.22
"There is but one
church on the face of the earth
00:50:38.95\00:50:42.12
which has the
power, or claims power,
00:50:42.13\00:50:45.31
to make laws
binding on the conscience,
00:50:45.32\00:50:48.17
binding before God, binding
under penalty of hell-fire.
00:50:48.18\00:50:54.09
For instance, the
institution of Sunday.
00:50:54.10\00:50:58.05
What right has any
other church to keep this day?
00:50:58.06\00:51:02.50
You answer by virtue
of the third commandment
00:51:02.51\00:51:05.12
the Papacy changed
the fourth commandment
00:51:05.13\00:51:08.00
and called it the
third, which says,
00:51:08.01\00:51:11.62
Remember that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day.'
00:51:11.63\00:51:16.53
But Sunday is not the Sabbath.
00:51:16.54\00:51:19.97
Any school- boy
knows that Sunday
00:51:19.98\00:51:23.26
is the first Day of the week.
00:51:23.27\00:51:25.96
I have repeatedly
offered one thousand dollars
00:51:25.97\00:51:29.06
to anyone who will prove
by the Bible alone that Sunday
00:51:29.07\00:51:33.31
IS the day we are bound to keep,
00:51:33.32\00:51:36.03
and no one has
called for the money.
00:51:36.04\00:51:39.06
It was the holy Catholic Church
00:51:39.07\00:51:41.62
that changed the day
of rest from Saturday,
00:51:41.63\00:51:44.38
the seventh day, to Sunday,
00:51:44.39\00:51:46.85
the first day of the week,
00:51:46.86\00:51:48.94
T. Enright, C. S. S. R.,
00:51:48.95\00:51:51.87
in a lecture delivered in 1893.
00:51:51.88\00:51:52.87
Thank you bishop.
00:52:00.59\00:52:03.44
I want you folks
to look at something.
00:52:03.45\00:52:05.17
I am talking to
an American audience.
00:52:11.48\00:52:15.23
How important is the flag?
00:52:15.24\00:52:18.64
It is. Would you die for it?
00:52:18.65\00:52:22.77
You would?
00:52:24.90\00:52:28.94
But it's only made out of cloth.
00:52:28.95\00:52:32.22
It's a bit of cloth
red, white and blue.
00:52:32.23\00:52:34.62
So, why would you die for it?
00:52:38.55\00:52:42.12
Because it is a symbol
00:52:42.13\00:52:45.00
of the United States
00:52:45.01\00:52:48.36
and the United
States constitution
00:52:48.37\00:52:50.83
that is symbolized by the flag
00:52:50.84\00:52:53.33
stands for freedom and liberty,
00:52:53.34\00:52:57.00
stands for good things.
00:52:57.01\00:53:00.13
But there's no
virtue in the flag itself.
00:53:00.14\00:53:03.60
It's what it stands for.
00:53:03.61\00:53:06.48
Now we have some
patriots sitting here today.
00:53:06.49\00:53:10.28
What so if we put
the flag down here
00:53:10.29\00:53:12.42
and we take a little
time all of us coming up
00:53:12.43\00:53:15.33
and wiping our feet on.
00:53:15.34\00:53:20.39
Then why have
you so many of you,
00:53:20.40\00:53:24.05
why have so many of us
00:53:24.06\00:53:25.96
been wiping our
feet on God's flag?
00:53:25.97\00:53:27.08
Is God's flag more
important than this?
00:53:31.22\00:53:34.95
Much more. Yes.
00:53:34.96\00:53:36.54
A million times
this is a human thing.
00:53:36.55\00:53:40.18
We're talking about the
symbol that God is our Creator,
00:53:40.19\00:53:45.83
that He made us free,
00:53:45.84\00:53:48.45
that He sent His
Son to die for us.
00:53:48.46\00:53:52.36
It is not the flag
00:53:52.37\00:53:55.27
it's what its stands for
00:53:55.28\00:53:58.80
and the seventh day Sabbath
00:53:58.81\00:54:02.16
when you know the truth.
00:54:02.17\00:54:07.33
If you didn't
note, you note it now
00:54:07.34\00:54:10.84
that the seventh day Sabbath
00:54:10.85\00:54:13.81
we're told in this
scriptures is the sign of God.
00:54:13.82\00:54:19.38
Ezekiel 20,
verse 12 and verse 20,
00:54:19.39\00:54:21.76
"It is the sign of God."
00:54:21.77\00:54:23.62
Jesus said, "If you love
me keep my commandments."
00:54:23.63\00:54:28.42
That's what He said
00:54:28.43\00:54:33.29
and you and I ought to come
00:54:33.30\00:54:36.20
and stand beside God's flag.
00:54:36.21\00:54:41.44
It is the test of loyalty
00:54:41.45\00:54:46.59
and you and I
ought to say in the words
00:54:46.60\00:54:50.14
of the famous man in the Bible.
00:54:50.15\00:54:53.15
He said as for me
00:54:53.16\00:54:57.15
and my house,
00:54:57.16\00:55:00.47
we will serve the Lord.
00:55:00.48\00:55:03.85
Amen. Amen.
00:55:03.86\00:55:07.06
Hello, I am John Carter.
00:55:08.99\00:55:10.63
I first came here in 1971
00:55:10.64\00:55:13.26
that's a long time ago.
00:55:13.27\00:55:14.92
I've been back 39
times more recently in 1991
00:55:14.93\00:55:20.57
when we had the privilege
under God of conducting
00:55:20.58\00:55:23.60
the first ever
evangelistic campaign
00:55:23.61\00:55:26.76
in the old Soviet Union.
00:55:26.77\00:55:28.93
Since, then we've preaching
00:55:28.94\00:55:30.88
right around this great
country St. Petersburg, Moscow
00:55:30.89\00:55:35.89
as they call it Moskva,
Nizhny Novgorod, Dzerzhinsk,
00:55:35.90\00:55:40.73
I can just go on and on.
00:55:40.74\00:55:42.94
And we have seen
thousands and thousands of souls
00:55:42.95\00:55:47.26
come to our knowledge
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:55:47.27\00:55:50.84
I want to thank you today
for your magnificent support
00:55:50.85\00:55:55.28
for standing with us in
tough times and in good times
00:55:55.29\00:55:59.98
in the preaching of
Christ to the Russian people.
00:55:59.99\00:56:03.30
My friend, it's not over yet.
00:56:03.31\00:56:06.32
We're not giving up on Russia,
00:56:06.33\00:56:08.49
because the needs
here are tremendous.
00:56:08.50\00:56:12.32
Please pray for
the Russian people
00:56:12.33\00:56:14.88
and please in the name of Jesus,
00:56:14.89\00:56:18.18

as the sun goes down
in the land of Russia.
00:56:46.49\00:56:51.25

soon be a thing of past.
