The topic today is,
00:00:13.81\00:00:15.54
"Dark Deeds of
Antichrist Revealed."
00:00:15.58\00:00:19.75
Now, folks, want
you to look at this
00:00:19.78\00:00:22.28
because even though
this, you know, it looks good,
00:00:22.32\00:00:24.75
it's a great opening graphic,
doesn't really tell the truth.
00:00:24.79\00:00:30.33
You got a person there
who looks a real nasty person.
00:00:30.36\00:00:35.93
But the antichrist doesn't
look like a nasty person.
00:00:35.96\00:00:39.70
He is beautiful to
behold and he is charming,
00:00:39.73\00:00:44.44
and he says lots
and lots of good things.
00:00:44.47\00:00:48.34
But today, we gonna tell you
00:00:48.38\00:00:50.48
how the antichrist in the church
00:00:50.51\00:00:53.95
has actually
challenged God old mighty
00:00:53.98\00:00:57.85
by changing the law of God.
00:00:57.89\00:01:02.72
Now, before we
talk about this one,
00:01:02.76\00:01:04.49
I want to talk about something
that's even more important.
00:01:04.53\00:01:06.36
I want to talk
about, "how can we be saved
00:01:06.39\00:01:09.93
and go at last to heaven?"
00:01:09.96\00:01:12.13
Because somebody
is going to come to me
00:01:12.17\00:01:13.50
after this meeting
today, and they're going to say,
00:01:13.54\00:01:17.01
you don't need to
keep God's law anymore
00:01:17.04\00:01:19.97
because we're
just saved by grace.
00:01:20.01\00:01:22.84
And the grace of God has
abolished the law of God.
00:01:22.88\00:01:26.65
But we're going to see today
00:01:26.68\00:01:28.15
that the antichrist has deceived
00:01:28.18\00:01:30.12
almost the whole wide world.
00:01:30.15\00:01:31.62
Come with me in the Bible
00:01:31.65\00:01:32.99
to the Book of Ephesians 2:8-10,
00:01:33.02\00:01:37.99
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:01:38.03\00:01:40.13
Ephesians Chapter 2
00:01:40.16\00:01:43.73
and verses 8-10, you got it.
00:01:43.77\00:01:49.04
The Bible says, "For by
grace you have been saved
00:01:49.07\00:01:52.84
through faith, and
that not of yourselves,
00:01:52.87\00:01:57.01
it is the gift of
God, not of works,
00:01:57.05\00:02:01.88
lest anyone should boast.
00:02:01.92\00:02:04.05
For we are His workmanship,
00:02:04.09\00:02:05.65
created in Christ
Jesus for good works,
00:02:05.69\00:02:09.96
which God prepared beforehand
that we should walk in them."
00:02:09.99\00:02:14.30
We've got three tremendously
important words here.
00:02:14.33\00:02:18.17
And the first word
is the word, grace.
00:02:18.20\00:02:21.44
The Bible says
we're saved by grace.
00:02:21.47\00:02:23.47
We're not saved
by our righteousness
00:02:23.51\00:02:26.17
or by our
goodness or by our success.
00:02:26.21\00:02:31.18
The Bible says
we're saved by grace.
00:02:31.21\00:02:33.92
Grace is another name
or another word for mercy.
00:02:33.95\00:02:39.19
Then the Bible says
you're saved by grace
00:02:39.22\00:02:41.19
but through or by faith.
00:02:41.22\00:02:44.63
Now, what is faith?
00:02:44.66\00:02:47.50
The Bible tells me grace
first, then secondly faith.
00:02:47.53\00:02:51.93
Faith is what you have
when you get on a plane
00:02:51.97\00:02:58.84
and you see the
captain get on the plane.
00:02:58.87\00:03:03.48
And people tell me
who are unbelievers,
00:03:03.51\00:03:05.41
"I can't believe in faith."
00:03:05.45\00:03:07.02
Every time you get on a plane,
00:03:07.05\00:03:09.68
you're showing
faith in the person
00:03:09.72\00:03:11.82
who is flying the plane.
00:03:11.85\00:03:13.86
Faith means trust or reliance.
00:03:13.89\00:03:16.76
We're saved by God's
grace demonstrated in Christ,
00:03:16.79\00:03:20.50
and we rely upon it
by the act of faith."
00:03:20.53\00:03:25.20
But the Bible says not by works.
00:03:25.23\00:03:28.27
You can't be
saved by your works.
00:03:28.30\00:03:30.57
For the simple reason,
you can't do enough works
00:03:30.61\00:03:33.94
in order to merit the
God and to merit God's favor,
00:03:33.98\00:03:38.65
therefore we're saved
by grace through faith,
00:03:38.68\00:03:42.32
not by works.
00:03:42.35\00:03:44.49
But the Bible does say,
00:03:44.52\00:03:46.99
we were created in
God to do good works,
00:03:47.02\00:03:51.39
so while we are
not saved by our works,
00:03:51.43\00:03:55.30
or our commandment keeping,
00:03:55.33\00:03:58.43
works are the fruitage
00:03:58.47\00:04:01.04
of a true relationship with God.
00:04:01.07\00:04:04.44
So by grace through
faith, not by works,
00:04:04.47\00:04:09.58
but the works are going to come.
00:04:09.61\00:04:13.08
I was reading sometime
ago about Armenian family,
00:04:13.11\00:04:16.02
lived about 100 years ago.
00:04:16.05\00:04:18.22
And this was the time
of the terrible atrocities
00:04:18.25\00:04:20.72
took place in that
part of the Middle East.
00:04:20.76\00:04:26.13
The family, father, mother,
00:04:26.16\00:04:30.53
two sons and two daughters
00:04:30.57\00:04:33.94
were taking captive.
00:04:33.97\00:04:37.11
The father and mother was
shot in front of the family,
00:04:37.14\00:04:43.18
then the two sons.
00:04:43.21\00:04:46.01
The girls were given
away to the soldiers.
00:04:46.05\00:04:49.82
The Turkish
captain kept the prettiest,
00:04:49.85\00:04:53.96
the oldest girl for himself.
00:04:53.99\00:04:57.16
Her virtue was
blasted by his lust.
00:04:57.19\00:05:01.33
She escaped and found
refuge in a British hospital,
00:05:04.87\00:05:07.64
for refugees.
00:05:07.67\00:05:09.84
They trained her
to become a nurse.
00:05:09.87\00:05:11.87
One night she was
walking down the ward,
00:05:11.91\00:05:14.74
holding up the lantern
00:05:14.78\00:05:16.68
and the light of the
lantern flashed upon her face
00:05:16.71\00:05:19.71
that was so
familiar, that terrified her.
00:05:19.75\00:05:23.32
There was the face
of the Turkish captain.
00:05:23.35\00:05:26.76
Later on she
told of the struggle
00:05:30.36\00:05:32.09
went on her soul.
00:05:32.13\00:05:34.96
She didn't have to kill
him with the bare hands.
00:05:35.00\00:05:37.40
She need only be in attentive,
he is so close to death,
00:05:37.43\00:05:42.57
but she nursed him back to life,
00:05:42.60\00:05:44.91
to strength and health
00:05:44.94\00:05:46.68
until the doctors
marveled at her devotion.
00:05:46.71\00:05:50.05
And when he was recovered,
00:05:50.08\00:05:53.42
they brought
the Turkish captain,
00:05:53.45\00:05:55.65
this young Armenian girl.
00:05:55.68\00:05:59.19
His family had been destroyed,
her virtue had been blasted
00:05:59.22\00:06:05.43
and the British doctor
said, captain but for this girl,
00:06:05.46\00:06:08.43
you would have been dead.
00:06:08.46\00:06:11.67
He went white.
00:06:11.70\00:06:14.27
When the doctor
left he hissed at her,
00:06:14.30\00:06:16.27
why didn't you kill me?
00:06:16.30\00:06:19.54
She said because I belong
to the religion of him who said
00:06:19.57\00:06:23.01
love your enemies,
00:06:23.04\00:06:25.81
because hatred
cannot be healed by hatred
00:06:25.85\00:06:30.39
and vice by vice.
00:06:30.42\00:06:34.06
He said I would like to
know more of such a religion,
00:06:34.09\00:06:39.73
because it is
not in my religion.
00:06:39.76\00:06:43.33
And what did
she show to this man
00:06:43.37\00:06:45.43
who deserved hell?
00:06:45.47\00:06:46.84
She showed him
grace, she showed him mercy.
00:06:46.87\00:06:51.81
And because of her faith,
00:06:51.84\00:06:54.21
she showed him works
of love and compassion.
00:06:54.24\00:06:59.78
So that's the first great truth,
00:06:59.81\00:07:01.28
we're not saved
by the law of God,
00:07:01.32\00:07:03.35
we are saved by
grace through faith
00:07:03.39\00:07:07.72
to do good works.
00:07:07.76\00:07:10.53
Here is the next
truth, listen to this.
00:07:10.56\00:07:13.76
God's law is sacred
00:07:13.80\00:07:17.63
and eternal.
00:07:17.67\00:07:21.20
Did you get that?
00:07:21.24\00:07:22.67
God's law is sacred and eternal.
00:07:22.70\00:07:24.74
Turn in the Bible please
to Romans 3:31, my friends.
00:07:24.77\00:07:31.41
Romans 3 that talks
about grace and faith.
00:07:31.45\00:07:36.48
The great Apostle Paul,
00:07:36.52\00:07:37.85
the great exponent
of the gospel says,
00:07:37.89\00:07:40.06
"Do we then make void
the law through faith?
00:07:40.09\00:07:43.53
Certainly not!
00:07:43.56\00:07:44.89
On the contrary,
we establish the law.
00:07:44.93\00:07:48.43
Now everybody look at
me, the television audience,
00:07:48.46\00:07:52.53
we're saved by the grace of God,
00:07:52.57\00:07:55.70
but we're not saved
to break the law of God,
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.91
by the grace of God, we're
saved to keep the law of God.
00:07:57.94\00:08:01.41
And the Bible says
that the holy law of God
00:08:01.44\00:08:04.45
is established
through faith in Jesus Christ,
00:08:04.48\00:08:07.92
never forget it.
00:08:07.95\00:08:10.12
And today,
we're gonna talk about
00:08:10.15\00:08:12.02
how the great antichrist church
00:08:12.05\00:08:17.43
actually changed the law of God
00:08:17.46\00:08:21.63
and deceived
the whole wide world
00:08:21.66\00:08:24.03
and continues to do so.
00:08:24.07\00:08:26.74
Now, we're gonna have a
review of the last program
00:08:26.77\00:08:30.67
about the antichrist.
00:08:30.71\00:08:32.04
This is especially for
those who missed it last week.
00:08:32.07\00:08:35.44
Last week, we took
you to the prophecy,
00:08:35.48\00:08:37.28
and we're gonna
do this very fast.
00:08:37.31\00:08:38.81
Not trying to prove
anything at this point.
00:08:38.85\00:08:41.78
Last week, we went to Daniel 7.
00:08:41.82\00:08:44.55
And there we saw the four
great monarchies of the world.
00:08:44.59\00:08:47.36
The lion which was Babylon
00:08:47.39\00:08:52.09
and the bear
which was Medo-Persia.
00:08:52.13\00:08:55.50
And then you had the
leopard with four wings
00:08:55.53\00:08:58.43
which was Greece,
00:08:58.47\00:09:00.07
and then you had
this awful monster
00:09:00.10\00:09:03.04
that has 10 horns.
00:09:03.07\00:09:06.64
You remember this.
00:09:06.68\00:09:08.54
Now we proved it
to you last week,
00:09:08.58\00:09:10.25
this is not sectarianism,
00:09:10.28\00:09:13.75
this is not the
teaching of some cult.
00:09:13.78\00:09:17.79
This is history.
This is Bible prophecy.
00:09:17.82\00:09:22.82
Two and half thousand years ago,
00:09:22.86\00:09:24.96
the Prophet Daniel
in the city of Babylon
00:09:24.99\00:09:27.23
spoke about Babylon,
followed by Medo-Persia,
00:09:27.26\00:09:31.67
followed by
Greece, and followed by--
00:09:31.70\00:09:35.14
Yeah, tell me.
00:09:35.17\00:09:36.71
The iron monarchy of Rome,
and this power has ten horns
00:09:36.74\00:09:41.98
that are representative
of the ten kings of Europe.
00:09:42.01\00:09:46.48
This is not trying
to prove it to you,
00:09:46.51\00:09:48.15
we did this last week.
00:09:48.18\00:09:50.15
Now, I'm gonna
give you some points
00:09:50.19\00:09:52.45
to identify the antichrist
00:09:52.49\00:09:54.66
and this is simply a
review of the last meeting.
00:09:54.69\00:09:58.43
Number one, the
antichrist is a counterfeit
00:09:58.46\00:10:03.16
and the text is
2 Thessalonians 2,
00:10:03.20\00:10:05.97
please turn fast to these texts.
00:10:06.00\00:10:08.50
I've got so many good things
00:10:08.54\00:10:10.04
and amazing
things to tell you today.
00:10:10.07\00:10:12.97
2 Thessalonians Chapter
2 in the holy scriptures
00:10:13.01\00:10:18.18
and verses 3 and 4.
00:10:18.21\00:10:20.95
Have you got the
text, my friends?
00:10:20.98\00:10:23.25
Listen.
00:10:23.28\00:10:24.72
"Let no one deceive you
by any means, for that Day,
00:10:24.75\00:10:29.59
the coming of
Christ, will not come
00:10:29.62\00:10:31.49
unless the
falling away comes first,
00:10:31.53\00:10:35.66
falling from the truth,
and the man of sin is revealed,
00:10:35.70\00:10:39.27
the son of perdition who
opposes and exalts himself
00:10:39.30\00:10:42.40
above all that is called
God or that is worshipped."
00:10:42.44\00:10:45.61
So that he sits as God, where?
00:10:45.64\00:10:49.18
The Bible says in
the temple of God,
00:10:49.21\00:10:52.85
taking to himself
the prerogatives of God.
00:10:52.88\00:10:56.72
Number one,
00:10:56.75\00:10:58.09
the antichrist is a counterfeit,
00:10:58.12\00:11:00.26
and the antichrist
is found in the church.
00:11:00.29\00:11:04.33
Not in the Kremlin,
00:11:04.36\00:11:06.39
even though that has
been an antichristian power,
00:11:06.43\00:11:09.63
maybe not so today.
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.53
But in the days of the communist
00:11:11.57\00:11:13.13
it certainly was.
00:11:13.17\00:11:14.50
But the Bible says, number one,
00:11:14.54\00:11:16.27
the antichrist is a
great pseudo Christian power
00:11:16.30\00:11:21.78
and he wasn't like the
man, on the title page,
00:11:21.81\00:11:26.98
that we put up
on the screen there.
00:11:27.02\00:11:29.42
He doesn't look like a monster.
00:11:29.45\00:11:33.49
He's the copy of Jesus Christ
00:11:33.52\00:11:35.99
and says all the right
things at all the right time.
00:11:36.02\00:11:40.43
He sits in the church.
Number two, he is European.
00:11:40.46\00:11:46.43
Come back now to
the great prophecy
00:11:46.47\00:11:48.20
of Daniel 7,
00:11:48.24\00:11:49.74
and Jesus said we ought to study
00:11:49.77\00:11:51.21
and understand this prophecy.
00:11:51.24\00:11:52.84
Daniel 7:8, "I was
considering the horns,
00:11:52.87\00:11:57.35
the kings of Europe,
and there was another horn,
00:11:57.38\00:12:00.22
a little one,
coming up among them,
00:12:00.25\00:12:04.92
before whom three
of the first horns
00:12:04.95\00:12:07.36
were plucked up by the roots.
00:12:07.39\00:12:09.16
And there, in this horn,
00:12:09.19\00:12:10.53
were eyes like
the eyes of a man,
00:12:10.56\00:12:12.36
and a mouth
speaking pompous words."
00:12:12.39\00:12:15.70
Verse 24, "The ten
horns are ten kings
00:12:15.73\00:12:19.43
who shall arise
from this kingdom,
00:12:19.47\00:12:21.50
the Roman kingdom.
00:12:21.54\00:12:24.01
And another
shall rise after them,
00:12:24.04\00:12:26.27
He shall be
different from the first ones,
00:12:26.31\00:12:28.81
he shall subdue three kings."
00:12:28.84\00:12:32.18
So every commentator
who knows anything at all
00:12:32.21\00:12:38.65
has recognized the
fourth beast is the Roman beast
00:12:38.69\00:12:43.59
and the ten horns
are the kings of Europe
00:12:43.63\00:12:46.29
and antichrist comes
up out of those ten horns,
00:12:46.33\00:12:49.33
therefore the
antichrist is a European king.
00:12:49.36\00:12:55.90
The antichrist is not
found in America or in China,
00:12:55.94\00:13:01.28
but he is found in Europe,
and he comes up after 500 AD,
00:13:01.31\00:13:07.92
because the ten
horns was settled
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.79
by around the year 500 AD.
00:13:10.82\00:13:14.86
Look at Daniel 7:24.
00:13:14.89\00:13:17.33
We're repeating
some of these texts
00:13:17.36\00:13:20.00
and there's a purpose for it.
00:13:20.03\00:13:21.60
"The ten horns are ten kings
00:13:21.63\00:13:24.03
who shall arise
from this kingdom.
00:13:24.07\00:13:26.97
And another
shall rise after them,
00:13:27.00\00:13:30.27
He shall be
different from the first ones,
00:13:30.31\00:13:33.84
And he shall
subdue three kings."
00:13:33.88\00:13:37.98
The text says he
shall rise, look at it.
00:13:38.01\00:13:42.15
He shall rise after them.
00:13:42.18\00:13:46.09
So he comes up
as the world power
00:13:46.12\00:13:48.22
after 500 AD.
00:13:48.26\00:13:50.33
Point number
four, the antichrist,
00:13:50.36\00:13:52.83
this religious king in
Europe overthrows three kings.
00:13:52.86\00:13:57.70
Daniel 7:8, "He
overthrows three kings."
00:13:57.73\00:14:02.30
I was considering the horns,
00:14:02.34\00:14:04.44
kings that came out
of Europe, out of Rome.
00:14:04.47\00:14:07.74
And there was
another horn, a little one,
00:14:07.78\00:14:10.55
coming up among them,
00:14:10.58\00:14:12.18
before whom three
of the first horns
00:14:12.21\00:14:15.42
were plucked up by the roots.
00:14:15.45\00:14:17.39
And there, in this horn,
00:14:17.42\00:14:18.75
were eyes like
the eyes of a man,
00:14:18.79\00:14:20.49
and a mouth
speaking pompous words."
00:14:20.52\00:14:23.49
History tells me
that when the great church
00:14:23.53\00:14:30.30
of Rome arose,
00:14:30.33\00:14:34.07
on the ruins of
the Roman Empire,
00:14:34.10\00:14:36.71
there were three
powers that withstood Him.
00:14:36.74\00:14:41.28
The Heruli, the
Vandals, and the Ostragoths,
00:14:41.31\00:14:46.48
this is history.
00:14:46.51\00:14:49.58
Now point number
five, the Bible tells me
00:14:49.62\00:14:53.05
the antichrist is greater than
any other king in the world.
00:14:53.09\00:14:58.33
Look at Daniel 7:20,
00:14:58.36\00:15:03.93
"The ten horns
that were on its head,
00:15:03.97\00:15:07.04
and the other
horn which came up,
00:15:07.07\00:15:10.17
before which three fell
namely, that horn which had eyes
00:15:10.21\00:15:14.28
and a mouth which
spoke pompous words,
00:15:14.31\00:15:17.45
whose
appearance", what does it say?
00:15:17.48\00:15:20.38
"Was greater than his fellows.
00:15:20.42\00:15:25.39
So here is a
king, a religious king
00:15:25.42\00:15:27.56
who is in the church,
who comes up after 500 AD.
00:15:27.59\00:15:32.13
He is a European king.
00:15:32.16\00:15:34.20
He starts small
but the Bible says,
00:15:34.23\00:15:36.87
he becomes the
greatest king in all the world,
00:15:36.90\00:15:40.64
he is greater than the
other kings, his fellows.
00:15:40.67\00:15:44.57
And he is, point
number six, he is different.
00:15:44.61\00:15:48.44
Look at Daniel 7:24.
00:15:48.48\00:15:51.95
Daniel 7:24, "The
ten horns are ten kings
00:15:51.98\00:15:56.69
who shall arise
from this kingdom,
00:15:56.72\00:15:58.15
the Roman kingdom.
00:15:58.19\00:15:59.55
And another
shall rise after them,
00:15:59.59\00:16:01.76
He shall be
different from the first ones,
00:16:01.79\00:16:05.33
And shall subdue three kings."
00:16:05.36\00:16:07.23
The Bible says, this
king shall be different
00:16:07.26\00:16:11.37
and the reason this king
is different, my friends,
00:16:11.40\00:16:15.47
is because he is more
than a apolitical king,
00:16:15.50\00:16:20.31
he is a religious king,
00:16:20.34\00:16:23.51
and he sits in the temple of God
00:16:23.55\00:16:26.05
and he is so beguiling,
00:16:26.08\00:16:31.29
so seductive,
00:16:31.32\00:16:34.29
that virtually the
whole world bows down to him
00:16:34.32\00:16:36.93
and follows him
in whatever he says.
00:16:36.96\00:16:39.69
And they bow
down because they are,
00:16:39.73\00:16:42.20
pardon my saying this,
00:16:42.23\00:16:43.57
they are grossly
ignorant of the Word of God.
00:16:43.60\00:16:48.67
And so we're here today
00:16:48.70\00:16:50.04
because we don't care
about what you are to say.
00:16:50.07\00:16:53.17
We don't care
about what preacher say,
00:16:53.21\00:16:55.44
we're very interested in
what the Word of God says.
00:16:55.48\00:16:58.15
Amen. You hear this.
00:16:58.18\00:17:00.08
So he is different.
00:17:00.12\00:17:01.45
Now number seven,
number 7, got to keep going,
00:17:01.48\00:17:04.05
Daniel 7:25, "He
shall speak pompous words
00:17:04.09\00:17:07.72
against the Most High,
00:17:07.76\00:17:09.46
Shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:17:09.49\00:17:12.23
And shall intend to
change times and law.
00:17:12.26\00:17:15.76
Then the saints will
be given into his hand
00:17:15.80\00:17:17.67
for a time and
time and half a time."
00:17:17.70\00:17:20.57
We proved you last
week that the time,
00:17:20.60\00:17:23.47
times and half a time
symbolize three and a half years
00:17:23.51\00:17:28.58
or 1260 days and
these are prophetic days,
00:17:28.61\00:17:32.98
the antichrist
rules for 1260 days
00:17:33.01\00:17:37.05
from around 538
through until 1798.
00:17:37.09\00:17:41.52
The evidence is so conclusive
00:17:45.16\00:17:50.47
that we can come
to only one verdict.
00:17:50.50\00:17:54.84
Point number eight,
00:17:54.87\00:17:56.20
the antichrist is the
union of church and state.
00:17:56.24\00:18:00.08
Now come with me over here
to Revelation 17:3, Revelation,
00:18:00.11\00:18:05.15
the last book in the Bible.
00:18:05.18\00:18:07.22
Revelation 17
00:18:07.25\00:18:10.39
and we're just giving
you a little bit today,
00:18:10.42\00:18:13.15
because we proved
this to you last week.
00:18:13.19\00:18:15.76
Revelation 17:3,
"So he carried me away
00:18:15.79\00:18:19.49
in the Spirit
into the wilderness.
00:18:19.53\00:18:22.56
And I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast
00:18:22.60\00:18:26.80
which was full of
names of blasphemy,
00:18:26.84\00:18:29.30
having seven
heads and ten horns."
00:18:29.34\00:18:33.17
Now listen carefully.
00:18:33.21\00:18:35.44
In Bible prophecy,
the woman is the church
00:18:35.48\00:18:41.15
and the beast is the state.
00:18:41.18\00:18:44.62
Every commentator knows this.
00:18:44.65\00:18:47.72
And so here is the harlot
00:18:47.76\00:18:49.42
and the harlot
represents the harlot church.
00:18:49.46\00:18:54.80
You say this is too strong.
00:18:54.83\00:18:58.57
This is God's word.
00:18:58.60\00:19:01.90
This is God's word,
it is the strong word.
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.74
In Bible prophecy, the
women, there are two women,
00:19:04.77\00:19:08.38
a pure women who
is the true church
00:19:08.41\00:19:10.55
that keeps the commandments,
00:19:10.58\00:19:12.78
and then you have
the adulterous woman
00:19:12.81\00:19:17.32
who makes the world drunk
with a wine of her fornication,
00:19:17.35\00:19:22.22
and when people
drink the doctrine
00:19:22.26\00:19:24.53
because the wine is
the symbol of doctrine.
00:19:24.56\00:19:27.26
When people drink the
doctrine of the church,
00:19:27.30\00:19:32.37
they become drunk.
00:19:32.40\00:19:34.87
And when a person is
drunk, he cannot think straight
00:19:34.90\00:19:38.11
until he is no
longer inebriated.
00:19:38.14\00:19:42.51
That is the great
problem in the world today.
00:19:42.54\00:19:44.61
The world has drunk
of the wine of this woman
00:19:44.65\00:19:48.15
and they can't think straight.
00:19:48.18\00:19:50.59
There's only one way that
you can learn to think straight
00:19:50.62\00:19:52.95
and that is through the agency
00:19:52.99\00:19:55.36
and the efficacy of
the Holy Spirit of God
00:19:55.39\00:19:58.66
working through the word.
00:19:58.69\00:20:01.46
So here is the woman who
persecutes the true church,
00:20:01.50\00:20:06.23
who is the union
of church and state.
00:20:06.27\00:20:09.64
And this woman resides
in a great European city.
00:20:09.67\00:20:14.21
Look at Revelation
17:18 would you mind.
00:20:14.24\00:20:19.48
Revelation 17:18, "And
the woman, or the church,
00:20:19.51\00:20:24.45
whom you saw is that great city
00:20:24.49\00:20:27.16
which reigns over
the kings of the earth."
00:20:27.19\00:20:30.93
Any school boy
knows, any school girl knows
00:20:30.96\00:20:34.60
that when this
prophecy was given,
00:20:34.63\00:20:36.83
when the Book of Revelation
was given 2000 years ago,
00:20:36.87\00:20:41.67
there was only one city
00:20:41.70\00:20:43.30
that reigned over
the kings of the earth.
00:20:43.34\00:20:46.31
Everybody knows this.
It is the city of Rome.
00:20:46.34\00:20:51.61
So we're talking
here about a church
00:20:51.65\00:20:55.95
that ruled the world for
more than a thousand years,
00:20:55.98\00:21:00.49
that persecuted
the saints of God
00:21:00.52\00:21:03.43
and that resides
in the city of Rome.
00:21:03.46\00:21:07.86
People say you're making it
up. No, we're not making it up.
00:21:07.90\00:21:10.67
It's history. This
is what the Bible said.
00:21:10.70\00:21:14.47
Look at Daniel
7:25, the Bible says,
00:21:14.50\00:21:19.04
"This is a persecuting church."
00:21:19.07\00:21:21.88
And you know the
religion of Jesus
00:21:21.91\00:21:23.35
never persecuted to single soul.
00:21:23.38\00:21:26.08
Never forget that.
00:21:26.11\00:21:27.78
The Bible doesn't
believe in torture,
00:21:27.82\00:21:29.25
the Bible doesn't
believe in persecution.
00:21:29.28\00:21:32.69
Daniel 7:25, the Bible says,
"He shall speak pompous words
00:21:32.72\00:21:37.43
against the Most High,
00:21:37.46\00:21:38.79
Shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:21:38.83\00:21:41.30
And shall intend to
change times and law.
00:21:41.33\00:21:43.53
Then the saints shall
be given into his hand
00:21:43.57\00:21:46.07
for a time and
times and half a time.
00:21:46.10\00:21:49.94
History tells me
00:21:49.97\00:21:53.31
that there was a
period in church history
00:21:53.34\00:21:57.11
when this book was
the Bible for clerics.
00:21:57.15\00:22:01.85
You can see it there,
this is the actual book.
00:22:01.88\00:22:04.52
It is the bloody book
of the bloody inquisition.
00:22:04.55\00:22:09.82
And millions and millions
of dissenting Roman Catholics,
00:22:09.86\00:22:15.26
Protestants and Jews were
persecuted by this church,
00:22:15.30\00:22:20.94
and this went on for
more than a thousand years,
00:22:20.97\00:22:26.17
and the Bible teaches
00:22:26.21\00:22:27.54
that this power
is going to come back
00:22:27.58\00:22:29.54
with all the
ferocity of the Dark Ages.
00:22:29.58\00:22:33.52
Point number 11,
00:22:39.25\00:22:40.69
this power
changes the law of God
00:22:40.72\00:22:42.79
or at least tries to.
00:22:42.82\00:22:45.39
Look at Daniel
7:25, Daniel 7:25,
00:22:45.43\00:22:49.93
He shall speak pompous
words against the Most High,
00:22:49.96\00:22:52.83
Shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:22:52.87\00:22:55.27
And shall intend to
change times and law,
00:22:55.30\00:22:59.84
and the saints shall be
given into His hand for a time,
00:22:59.87\00:23:03.78
which means a year,
times, two years, half a time,
00:23:03.81\00:23:07.32
half a year as we
proved from Revelation 12
00:23:07.35\00:23:10.79
and Revelation 13.
00:23:10.82\00:23:13.29
Now all look at me.
00:23:13.32\00:23:16.62
Here is a power
that becomes so mighty,
00:23:16.66\00:23:21.36
and so
seductive, and so pervasive
00:23:21.40\00:23:26.47
that he
actually has the audacity
00:23:26.50\00:23:29.90
to change the
law of Almighty God.
00:23:29.94\00:23:34.81
And this is not
taking about the law of man.
00:23:34.84\00:23:38.15
Any country can change
its own petty little laws,
00:23:38.18\00:23:41.65
but this power makes war
against the Christ of God,
00:23:41.68\00:23:46.89
the saints of
God, the people of God
00:23:46.92\00:23:50.79
and the law of God
00:23:50.83\00:23:54.23
which is summed up
in the Ten Commandments,
00:23:54.26\00:23:58.23
and we shall see
how he does this today.
00:23:58.27\00:24:01.80
Point number 12,
00:24:01.84\00:24:03.17
this power endures
to the second coming,
00:24:03.20\00:24:06.37
so he's still here.
00:24:06.41\00:24:08.21
Daniel 7:25 and onwards.
00:24:08.24\00:24:10.58
"He shall speak pompous
words against the Most High,
00:24:10.61\00:24:13.42
Shall persecute the
saints of the Most High,
00:24:13.45\00:24:15.75
And shall intend to
change times and law.
00:24:15.78\00:24:18.55
Then the saints shall
be given into his hands
00:24:18.59\00:24:20.62
for a time and
times and half a time.
00:24:20.66\00:24:22.99
But the court shall be seated,
00:24:23.02\00:24:24.79
And they shall
take away his dominion,
00:24:24.83\00:24:26.76
To consume and
destroy it forever.
00:24:26.80\00:24:30.20
Then the kingdom and dominion
00:24:30.23\00:24:31.70
and the
greatness of the kingdoms
00:24:31.73\00:24:33.20
under the whole heaven,
00:24:33.23\00:24:34.57
Shall be given to the people
of the saints of the Most High.
00:24:34.60\00:24:37.41
His kingdom is an
everlasting kingdom,
00:24:37.44\00:24:40.48
And all dominions
shall serve and obey Him."
00:24:40.51\00:24:46.82
The God of heaven.
00:24:46.85\00:24:49.12
Now my dear American friends,
00:24:49.15\00:24:52.75
and those
watching around the world.
00:24:52.79\00:24:57.16
There's only one power
on the face of this earth
00:24:57.19\00:25:00.83
that fulfils all
of the specifications
00:25:00.86\00:25:05.57
of this divinely
inspired prophecy.
00:25:05.60\00:25:10.47
It is the state
church of the Dark Ages
00:25:10.51\00:25:17.45
that continues to live on.
00:25:17.48\00:25:23.89
And the Bible prophecy tells us
00:25:23.92\00:25:26.05
that this power
would do some dark deeds.
00:25:26.09\00:25:32.39
The Bible says that this
power would consider himself
00:25:32.43\00:25:37.73
with so much authority
00:25:37.77\00:25:39.77
that he could
even reach into heaven
00:25:39.80\00:25:42.77
and he could
change the law of God
00:25:42.80\00:25:47.28
which is blasphemy against God.
00:25:47.31\00:25:51.81
We shall deal with
this in our next program
00:25:51.85\00:25:55.85
when the antichrist
changed the law of God
00:25:55.88\00:26:01.22
and duped the whole world.
00:26:01.26\00:26:04.06
Hello, friend.
00:26:16.24\00:26:17.67
I'm John Carter in Havana, Cuba.
00:26:17.71\00:26:21.04
I'm standing here in
Revolutionary Square.
00:26:21.08\00:26:25.38
This great square is
dedicated to the great communist
00:26:25.41\00:26:28.72
revolution under Fidel
00:26:28.75\00:26:30.92
that came to this
country back 50, 60 years ago.
00:26:30.95\00:26:35.12
This place is still
undergoing a revolution.
00:26:35.16\00:26:39.16
We've come to check out
the reality of the situation.
00:26:39.19\00:26:43.70
Freedom of speech is
not allowed here still.
00:26:43.73\00:26:47.24
Preaching the
gospel out of doors
00:26:47.27\00:26:49.60
is not allowed here,
00:26:49.64\00:26:51.24
still whatever you
hear about reconciliation,
00:26:51.27\00:26:54.58
nothing has really changed.
00:26:54.61\00:26:57.55
We've been told, we cannot
run public campaigns in Cuba
00:26:57.58\00:27:03.28
in any part of this world.
00:27:03.32\00:27:06.15
We can run meetings in
churches, that's allowed.
00:27:06.19\00:27:09.69
So what are we going to do?
00:27:09.72\00:27:11.43
We're going to
support the people of God
00:27:11.46\00:27:12.99
in this part of the world.
00:27:13.03\00:27:14.36
We're going to
step through those doors
00:27:14.40\00:27:16.77
as God opens those doors.
00:27:16.80\00:27:19.40
We're not going to
come and cause a commotion
00:27:19.43\00:27:23.87
and cause trouble
to the people of God.
00:27:23.91\00:27:26.98
We will work diligently
and as wise as serpents
00:27:27.01\00:27:32.95
and as harmless as doves.
00:27:32.98\00:27:35.78
Stand with us in the
preaching of the gospel,
00:27:35.82\00:27:38.85
wherever it is, stand with us.

00:27:51.93\00:27:53.70
for a mighty
spiritual revolution,
00:27:53.74\00:27:57.11
as we take the Gospel of Christ
to the lost around the world
00:27:57.14\00:28:02.51
as God opens the doors.
00:28:02.54\00:28:04.41
