The Carter Report presents
Plain Talk with John Carter.
00:00:04.37\00:00:09.10
Welcome, today, to Plain Talk.
00:00:17.05\00:00:19.78
We're so glad that
you joined us today.
00:00:19.81\00:00:22.78
Now we get hundreds of questions
00:00:22.82\00:00:25.19
that are coming from our viewers
00:00:25.22\00:00:27.36
and they are
all great questions.
00:00:27.39\00:00:29.82
What we've done today,
00:00:29.86\00:00:31.19
we've taken all
of these questions,
00:00:31.23\00:00:33.56
some of them are going
to be just as they came in
00:00:33.60\00:00:36.67
and some of them
are going to be joined
00:00:36.70\00:00:38.67
with some other questions
00:00:38.70\00:00:40.57
so we can get through them.
00:00:40.60\00:00:42.60
And the first question today
is going to be read by a person
00:00:42.64\00:00:46.31
who is going to
be the spokesperson
00:00:46.34\00:00:48.48
for the thousands of
people who've sent us questions.
00:00:48.51\00:00:51.81
Alan De Leon is
going to ask the questions.
00:00:51.85\00:00:55.48
Alan is going to be you today.
00:00:55.52\00:00:59.72
So do you believe
public evangelism is dead?
00:00:59.75\00:01:03.73
You got to be kidding.
00:01:03.76\00:01:06.33
I believe that
public evangelism is dead?
00:01:06.36\00:01:11.40
I couldn't believe that public
evangelism is dead anymore
00:01:11.43\00:01:15.37
than I believe
that marriage is dead.
00:01:15.40\00:01:18.64
Some folks tell me
that marriage is dead.
00:01:18.67\00:01:21.08
They tell me all
sorts of things are dead.
00:01:21.11\00:01:24.05
I guess it's dead to the
people who think it's dead.
00:01:24.08\00:01:27.15
But I could not believe
that public evangelism is dead
00:01:27.18\00:01:31.75
because of the
texts of the Bible.
00:01:31.79\00:01:33.79
I'm a person who
believes in the Bible
00:01:33.82\00:01:37.73
and I believe in
the words of Christ.
00:01:37.76\00:01:40.63
And Jesus, in
Matthew 24, said these words.
00:01:40.66\00:01:46.10
Matthew 24,
00:01:46.13\00:01:48.27
you good folks can
turn to the text to Matthew
00:01:48.30\00:01:51.57
24:14,
00:01:51.61\00:01:57.58
it says, "This
gospel of the kingdom
00:01:57.61\00:01:59.81
will be
preached in all the world
00:01:59.85\00:02:02.08
as a witness to all the nations,
00:02:02.12\00:02:04.45
then the end will come."
00:02:04.49\00:02:07.79
I believe in Jesus
00:02:07.82\00:02:09.92
and I believe in the
words of this great prophecy,
00:02:09.96\00:02:12.73
what Jesus said,
00:02:12.76\00:02:14.10
the Gospel is going to
be preached in all the world
00:02:14.13\00:02:16.43
as a witness to
all of the nations
00:02:16.46\00:02:18.53
and then the end
is going to come.
00:02:18.57\00:02:22.77
I've seen with my own eyes
00:02:22.80\00:02:25.74
scenes like this one here.
00:02:25.77\00:02:30.75
People tell me,
they say, John Carter,
00:02:30.78\00:02:33.72
public evangelism is dead.
00:02:33.75\00:02:36.79
Well, that's because
they're living in a little,
00:02:36.82\00:02:40.49
pardon me, a little bubble.
00:02:40.52\00:02:44.89
Maybe it's a little
bubble in a college somewhere,
00:02:44.93\00:02:48.03
some little church,
00:02:48.06\00:02:49.66
and haven't seen
the power of God.
00:02:49.70\00:02:51.80
But I've seen the power of God.
00:02:51.83\00:02:55.80
On the screen here,
00:02:55.84\00:02:57.17
we've got a crowd of
at least 150, 000 people.
00:02:57.21\00:03:03.41
That's what you can see.
00:03:03.45\00:03:05.41
And down the road,
they had started up
00:03:05.45\00:03:07.15
some other meetings
ahead, other big stadiums,
00:03:07.18\00:03:10.89
we weren't in
control all those stadiums
00:03:10.92\00:03:13.09
but there were tens
of thousands of people
00:03:13.12\00:03:15.42
in those stadiums
00:03:15.46\00:03:17.06
and they were
listening to the Word of God.
00:03:17.09\00:03:20.00
And I've seen
this around the world.
00:03:20.03\00:03:21.96
This was in Papua New Guinea,
00:03:22.00\00:03:24.17
but I've seen it in El Salvador,
00:03:24.20\00:03:27.04
where we saw the largest
crowds in the football stadium
00:03:27.07\00:03:31.77
bigger than they'd had for their
00:03:31.81\00:03:33.27
great football matches.
00:03:33.31\00:03:36.64
You know, bigger
than a huge grand final.
00:03:36.68\00:03:39.71
So I believe in
the great power of God.
00:03:39.75\00:03:43.18
But this costs money.
00:03:43.22\00:03:45.55
And one reason people
don't like evangelism.
00:03:45.59\00:03:48.09
I cannot tell you
the story, is hard work.
00:03:48.12\00:03:54.93
It takes an
immense amount of work
00:03:54.96\00:03:57.07
and it takes an
immense amount of money.
00:03:57.10\00:04:02.60
I'm talking here of an
immense amount of money.
00:04:02.64\00:04:06.21
But how can you
value a human soul?
00:04:06.24\00:04:10.38
And I've seen with my own eyes,
millions of people, Russia,
00:04:10.41\00:04:15.88
Ukraine, around the world,
00:04:15.92\00:04:19.82
I've seen it in so
many different countries,
00:04:19.85\00:04:24.13
I've seen millions of people
come to a knowledge of God
00:04:24.16\00:04:28.33
and a knowledge of
Christ in the truth.
00:04:28.36\00:04:31.27
And we're told
this all the time,
00:04:31.30\00:04:32.63
it certainly may
work in such a place,
00:04:32.67\00:04:34.94
somebody might say
00:04:34.97\00:04:36.30
it's a gracious
concession to our foolishness,
00:04:36.34\00:04:39.91
they'd say, "Oh,
well, you know, yes,
00:04:39.94\00:04:41.54
it may work in Papua New Guinea,
00:04:41.58\00:04:43.55
it may work there,
00:04:43.58\00:04:44.91
but it certainly
wouldn't work in India."
00:04:44.95\00:04:48.72
And so they said to
me, won't work in India,
00:04:48.75\00:04:52.05
even the people who
invited us to come to India
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.29
and run a big
campaign, they said,
00:04:54.32\00:04:55.82
"Well, we know you're
terribly enthusiastic,
00:04:55.86\00:04:58.93
but don't expect too much
00:04:58.96\00:05:00.30
because this is
not gonna work here."
00:05:00.33\00:05:03.33
But in India, we saw crowds
like this crowd here of Hindus
00:05:03.37\00:05:09.60
and Muslims coming
to a knowledge of God
00:05:09.64\00:05:14.14
and being filled
with the Holy Spirit
00:05:14.18\00:05:16.64
as they came down the front
and broke out spontaneously
00:05:16.68\00:05:20.32
and prayed to Christ.
00:05:20.35\00:05:22.32
Do I believe
public evangelism is dead?
00:05:22.35\00:05:24.62
No, but I believe that
many in the church are.
00:05:24.65\00:05:28.69
I believe this
but I believe that
00:05:28.72\00:05:30.99
when the Spirit
of God comes upon us,
00:05:31.03\00:05:33.60
we're gonna see
the miracles of God.
00:05:33.63\00:05:35.20
Now fortunately, today we
have a president in the church,
00:05:35.23\00:05:38.63
his name is Ted
Wilson and he believes
00:05:38.67\00:05:42.24
that public
evangelism is very much alive,
00:05:42.27\00:05:46.71
and he should
believe it because Jesus said
00:05:46.74\00:05:49.48
this Gospel is going to
be preached in all the world
00:05:49.51\00:05:52.01
and then the end
is going to come.
00:05:52.05\00:05:55.32
So no, I don't believe
00:05:55.35\00:05:57.62
that public evangelism is dead.
00:05:57.65\00:06:02.96
How can you keep the
Sabbath on a round world?
00:06:02.99\00:06:07.00
Well, I've never tried
to keep it on a flat world.
00:06:07.03\00:06:11.37
How can you keep the
Sabbath on a round world?
00:06:11.40\00:06:13.84
Now that is a serious question.
00:06:13.87\00:06:18.14
Would you folks like to
turn with me to Genesis 2:1-3.
00:06:18.17\00:06:24.51
Dear hearts and gentle people,
00:06:24.55\00:06:26.31
Genesis is the
first book in the Bible.
00:06:26.35\00:06:29.08
It means the beginning.
00:06:29.12\00:06:30.99
Genesis 2:1-3,
00:06:31.02\00:06:36.02
"Thus the heavens and the earth,
00:06:36.06\00:06:38.36
all the host of
them, were finished.
00:06:38.39\00:06:40.60
And on the seventh
day God ended His work
00:06:40.63\00:06:42.76
which He had done,
00:06:42.80\00:06:44.13
and He rested on the seventh day
00:06:44.17\00:06:45.50
from all His
work which He had done
00:06:45.53\00:06:47.07
and God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it,
00:06:47.10\00:06:50.44
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:06:50.47\00:06:53.68
which God had created and made."
00:06:53.71\00:06:56.24
Now Sabbath doesn't
belong to any church,
00:06:56.28\00:07:01.68
some people say,
"Well, that's your Sabbath."
00:07:01.72\00:07:03.42
No, no, no, come
on, don't give me this.
00:07:03.45\00:07:05.69
It's not my Sabbath.
00:07:05.72\00:07:07.12
It's the Sabbath
of the Lord our God.
00:07:07.16\00:07:11.19
He made the Sabbath.
00:07:11.23\00:07:14.60
Have you heard of Karl Barth?
00:07:14.63\00:07:17.37
Perhaps the greatest
theologian of the 20th century.
00:07:17.40\00:07:21.27
In his book, he
quotes these words...
00:07:21.30\00:07:25.24
Better try to get the
molecules moving this morning
00:07:25.27\00:07:27.48
so I don't forget
what Karl Barth said,
00:07:27.51\00:07:29.38
but he quoted I think,
00:07:29.41\00:07:33.45
I can't think of the
man he quoted De Quervain
00:07:33.48\00:07:36.05
or something like this.
00:07:36.08\00:07:37.42
And this man said,
00:07:37.45\00:07:39.39
"When the Holy day
becomes the day of man,
00:07:39.42\00:07:45.09
society and
humanity whither away
00:07:45.13\00:07:49.86
and the demon's rule."
00:07:49.90\00:07:52.93
You want to know why the demons
are ruling in the world today,
00:07:52.97\00:07:55.67
it's because people
have gotten away from God
00:07:55.70\00:07:58.47
and they've gotten
away from the Holy Sabbath.
00:07:58.51\00:08:02.14
The Holy Sabbath was to be
00:08:02.18\00:08:03.75
God's super
antidote against liberalism
00:08:03.78\00:08:08.85
and every other ism
which is against God.
00:08:08.88\00:08:13.42
So Karl Barth said,
00:08:13.46\00:08:15.06
"When the Holy
day becomes the man,
00:08:15.09\00:08:19.26
society in humanity
whither away, the demons rule."
00:08:19.29\00:08:24.00
They are ruling
today in the world
00:08:24.03\00:08:26.30
and they're
ruling today in America.
00:08:26.33\00:08:29.84
Now how can keep the
Sabbath on a round world?
00:08:29.87\00:08:33.61
Well, the Bible doesn't tell us
to keep a seventh part of time.
00:08:33.64\00:08:40.12
I've just come
back from Australia
00:08:40.15\00:08:41.98
from taking a
funeral over there.
00:08:42.02\00:08:44.95
It's a long way to Australia.
00:08:44.99\00:08:47.32
It's fifteen
hours in the Dreamliner.
00:08:47.36\00:08:51.16
It's a long way.
00:08:51.19\00:08:53.03
And you cross
over the date line.
00:08:53.06\00:08:55.76
And so when you
leave on Sunday night
00:08:55.80\00:08:58.97
here in Los Angeles,
00:08:59.00\00:09:01.40
you miss out
Monday all together.
00:09:01.44\00:09:03.84
So if you don't like
Mondays, it's the way to go.
00:09:03.87\00:09:06.47
If you're not a Monday person,
00:09:06.51\00:09:07.84
you go to
Australia on Sunday night
00:09:07.88\00:09:09.94
and you get there
on Tuesday morning.
00:09:09.98\00:09:11.98
But if you look at the globe,
as the earth turns on its axis,
00:09:12.01\00:09:18.85
so the day
travels around the world.
00:09:18.89\00:09:22.92
Isn't that easy?
00:09:22.96\00:09:24.43
And you can find the seventh day
00:09:24.46\00:09:27.96
on any part of the
world if you want to.
00:09:28.00\00:09:31.73
And a person said
to me, this is funny.
00:09:31.77\00:09:35.24
Years ago, this
person said to me,
00:09:35.27\00:09:37.94
"You can't keep the
Sabbath on a round world."
00:09:37.97\00:09:40.38
Oh, I said, "Is that so?
00:09:40.41\00:09:42.98
I understand
that you keep Sunday."
00:09:43.01\00:09:45.81
Well, you can keep Sunday
00:09:45.85\00:09:47.62
and you can keep
Sunday on a round world,
00:09:47.65\00:09:49.32
yeah, sure can, but
you can't keep the Sabbath.
00:09:49.35\00:09:54.32
Yeah, you know, Lord have mercy.
00:09:54.36\00:09:57.33
The day travels around the world
00:09:57.36\00:10:00.46
and the seventh
day or the first day
00:10:00.50\00:10:02.63
of any day you like can
be found on a round world.
00:10:02.66\00:10:08.74
And remember, the God
who gave us the Sabbath
00:10:08.77\00:10:12.07
was the god who
made a round world.
00:10:12.11\00:10:17.38
Do you like the Pope?
00:10:17.41\00:10:20.35
Do I like the Pope?
00:10:20.38\00:10:23.18
Oh, bless your heart.
I don't know the Pope.
00:10:23.22\00:10:25.55
I've seen the Pope on television
00:10:25.59\00:10:27.92
and it seems to be,
00:10:27.96\00:10:29.52
he seems to be a
very nice person,
00:10:29.56\00:10:34.70
he drives a little tiny Fiat.
00:10:34.73\00:10:36.93
Have you seen the
little car he drives?
00:10:36.97\00:10:39.50
Ever seen it?
00:10:39.53\00:10:40.87
Oh, you know, the previous Popes
00:10:40.90\00:10:43.20
had got into
these big limousines,
00:10:43.24\00:10:46.04
but even when the Pope
came to the United States,
00:10:46.07\00:10:49.44
he insisted on having
this tiny little Fiat.
00:10:49.48\00:10:52.91
So you know, he is a
big man, but he gets,
00:10:52.95\00:10:56.62
he gets into the little
Fiat car and off he goes.
00:10:56.65\00:10:59.42
I like those
things about the Pope.
00:10:59.45\00:11:02.06
Seems to be a man of the people,
00:11:02.09\00:11:05.56
but when we're
talking about truth,
00:11:05.59\00:11:07.43
we are not talking
about personalities.
00:11:07.46\00:11:11.53
Now this is very important.
00:11:11.57\00:11:15.90
Whatever the Pope is
or whoever the pope is,
00:11:15.94\00:11:18.17
and he seems to
be a nice person,
00:11:18.21\00:11:20.74
I don't really believe
00:11:20.78\00:11:24.71
in many of the
things that he teaches.
00:11:24.75\00:11:27.98
He talks about helping the poor,
00:11:28.02\00:11:31.02
I believe that's great.
00:11:31.05\00:11:34.56
I believe that
unbridled capitalism
00:11:34.59\00:11:36.79
can be a curse,
and so can socialism.
00:11:36.83\00:11:42.53
So I believe in some
of the things he says
00:11:42.56\00:11:44.80
but I want you to come over here
00:11:44.83\00:11:46.17
to Matthew 7:15, Matthew 7:15.
00:11:46.20\00:11:52.97
Now the Pope as
you know is a Jesuit.
00:11:53.01\00:11:55.28
And they're about
the smartest people
00:11:55.31\00:11:56.91
on the face of the earth,
00:11:56.95\00:11:58.81
the Jesuits, and
he is a super Jesuit.
00:11:58.85\00:12:01.92
Matthew 7:15 Jesus said,
00:12:01.95\00:12:07.22
"Beware of false prophets
00:12:07.26\00:12:09.96
who come to you
in sheep's clothing,
00:12:09.99\00:12:13.83
but inwardly they
are ravenous wolves."
00:12:13.86\00:12:18.97
So you don't judge a
clergy man on how he looks
00:12:19.00\00:12:25.97
or the car he drives
00:12:26.01\00:12:28.74
or his pleasing
manner of speech.
00:12:28.78\00:12:33.95
You judge a church or a pope
on what he teaches the people.
00:12:33.98\00:12:40.36
And there are some
things, many things
00:12:40.39\00:12:42.66
that the Pope teaches
00:12:42.69\00:12:44.43
that I believe are totally
opposed to the Word of God,
00:12:44.46\00:12:48.60
for instance, mass, the mass.
00:12:48.63\00:12:54.00
He believes that
the priest has the power
00:12:54.04\00:12:59.61
to take that
little piece of bread
00:12:59.64\00:13:02.24
and through the
doctrine of transubstantiation,
00:13:02.28\00:13:06.58
turn into the
actual body of Christ.
00:13:06.61\00:13:09.85
Did you know that?
00:13:09.88\00:13:11.25
That's the doctrine of
the mass transubstantiation.
00:13:11.29\00:13:14.89
Do I believe this? No.
00:13:14.92\00:13:16.99
He believes that
the mass is a sacrifice.
00:13:17.03\00:13:21.20
No, no, no.
00:13:21.23\00:13:22.56
The Church, yes, yes, yes.
00:13:22.60\00:13:24.87
The Roman church does teach
that the mass is a sacrifice,
00:13:24.90\00:13:29.70
like Calvary, but the Bible says
00:13:29.74\00:13:33.68
that Christ died for
our sins once and for all.
00:13:33.71\00:13:39.48
So I do not believe in the mass,
00:13:39.51\00:13:42.55
even though the Pope
may have a smiling face.
00:13:42.58\00:13:45.55
I believe the mass
is a terrible blasphemy
00:13:45.59\00:13:51.29
and God has opposed it.
00:13:51.33\00:13:52.76
I do not believe
in the eternal hell
00:13:52.79\00:13:55.56
that he teaches.
00:13:55.60\00:13:57.00
I do not believe that God
is going to torment sinners
00:13:57.03\00:14:01.17
for billions and
billions of years.
00:14:01.20\00:14:04.04
I do not believe in
purgatory such as he teaches.
00:14:04.07\00:14:07.78
You know what purgatory is?
00:14:07.81\00:14:09.64
You know what it is?
00:14:09.68\00:14:11.01
Well, if you're not good enough,
00:14:11.05\00:14:12.38
when you die and nobody
is good enough in himself,
00:14:12.41\00:14:15.05
then you got to go
into a place and be purged.
00:14:15.08\00:14:18.75
That's why they
call it purgatory,
00:14:18.79\00:14:21.42
the purging of your sins.
00:14:21.46\00:14:23.56
And so you may have
to spend time, you know,
00:14:23.59\00:14:25.76
a million years
getting burnt and tortured
00:14:25.79\00:14:29.23
before you're good enough
to go into the presence of God.
00:14:29.26\00:14:31.23
I don't believe in purgatory.
00:14:31.27\00:14:33.80
I don't believe in the
Gospel that the Pope teaches,
00:14:33.84\00:14:36.47
'cause I don't
believe it is a Gospel.
00:14:36.50\00:14:39.17
He believes that the Gospel
is when Spirit of God comes into
00:14:39.21\00:14:45.58
and makes you like God
and makes you good enough.
00:14:45.61\00:14:49.15
And he knows that nobody in
this lifetime is good enough
00:14:49.18\00:14:52.29
to go to heaven, so therefore
he's got to go into purgatory.
00:14:52.32\00:14:55.96
So I don't believe in this.
I don't believe in that Gospel.
00:14:55.99\00:14:59.46
I don't believe
in the veneration
00:14:59.49\00:15:02.90
of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
00:15:02.93\00:15:06.27
And the Pope is a great
venerator of the Virgin Mary.
00:15:06.30\00:15:08.97
You know why I don't believe
in praying to the Virgin Mary?
00:15:09.00\00:15:13.07
Because the Bible tells me,
00:15:13.11\00:15:14.44
the Virgin Mary is
sleeping in the grave
00:15:14.48\00:15:18.48
and she is
waiting the resurrection.
00:15:18.51\00:15:20.55
I don't believe in
prayers to the saints
00:15:20.58\00:15:23.49
because I don't believe
that the saints can save us.
00:15:23.52\00:15:27.92
Don't believe in
any of that stuff.
00:15:27.96\00:15:29.59
So while I would like to believe
00:15:29.62\00:15:33.29
the Pope is a nice man
and all the rest of it,
00:15:33.33\00:15:36.30
we're not talking
about nice people,
00:15:36.33\00:15:38.17
we're talking about
what does the Bible teach.
00:15:38.20\00:15:43.04
What do you know
about Malachi Martin?
00:15:43.07\00:15:46.37
What do I know
about Malachi Martin?
00:15:46.41\00:15:48.08
I know lot.
00:15:48.11\00:15:51.68
I'll tell you what I know.
00:15:51.71\00:15:54.05
Malachi Martin was a Jesuit.
00:15:54.08\00:15:59.02
Now the Jesuits are about
00:15:59.05\00:16:00.79
the smartest
people in the world.
00:16:00.82\00:16:04.29
And the Jesuits have infiltrated
00:16:04.33\00:16:07.96
almost every organization
00:16:08.00\00:16:10.00
and almost every church
on the face of the earth.
00:16:10.03\00:16:15.54
And so if you are in a church
that seems to be going against
00:16:15.57\00:16:18.64
what the Bible teaches
and stopping the preaching
00:16:18.67\00:16:24.35
and the prophecies,
maybe you've got a mole.
00:16:24.38\00:16:30.05
So the Jesuits have infiltrated
virtually every organization.
00:16:30.09\00:16:34.26
Malachi Martin wrote the book,
the books, let me think now.
00:16:34.29\00:16:39.09
He wrote the book "The Jesuits"
00:16:39.13\00:16:41.53
that talks about
the work of the Jesuits
00:16:41.56\00:16:43.33
in the world today.
00:16:43.37\00:16:45.80
And the secret
war of the Jesuits
00:16:45.83\00:16:47.70
against the hierarchy.
00:16:47.74\00:16:49.64
And he wrote
also an amazing book
00:16:49.67\00:16:52.21
that I recommend to you,
"The Keys of this Blood."
00:16:52.24\00:16:57.45
And it's the
story of how he believes
00:16:57.48\00:17:00.65
that the great Vatican is
going to take over the world.
00:17:00.68\00:17:06.65
He's put it in writing.
00:17:06.69\00:17:08.66
A great minister by the name
of N.C. Wilson, Neal Wilson,
00:17:08.69\00:17:15.16
said to me many, many years ago,
00:17:15.20\00:17:17.90
this book is the inside story
00:17:17.93\00:17:22.30
of the working of
the mystery of inequity.
00:17:22.34\00:17:27.71
"The Keys of this Blood."
00:17:27.74\00:17:31.15
Before his
death, he also claimed.
00:17:31.18\00:17:35.18
And you can get
this on the internet,
00:17:35.22\00:17:37.82
he claimed that
there was an enthronement
00:17:37.85\00:17:41.52
in the Vatican of
the fallen archangel,
00:17:41.56\00:17:45.99
super angel, and
this was Lucifer.
00:17:46.03\00:17:50.20
It is what this Jesuit said
00:17:50.23\00:17:52.50
that he was
totally opposed to it.
00:17:52.53\00:17:54.47
And said that was the reason
00:17:54.50\00:17:56.50
that some other
popes were having
00:17:56.54\00:17:58.01
such a tremendous problem
00:17:58.04\00:18:00.01
in the Vatican
controlling the pedophilia.
00:18:00.04\00:18:04.05
And he said that
after this enthronement
00:18:04.08\00:18:06.15
that took place
in the secret part
00:18:06.18\00:18:08.72
of the Vatican
led by some cardinals,
00:18:08.75\00:18:12.25
there was a
terrible wave of child abuse
00:18:12.29\00:18:16.79
that swept around the world.
00:18:16.83\00:18:19.43
So that is Malachi Martin,
00:18:19.46\00:18:21.73
a Jesuit who
gave the inside story.
00:18:21.76\00:18:26.60
Can we tell which
day is the Sabbath day?
00:18:26.63\00:18:30.11
Oh, yes, it's
pretty easy actually.
00:18:30.14\00:18:32.17
Which day is the Sabbath day?
00:18:32.21\00:18:36.18
This comes down
to another question
00:18:36.21\00:18:38.61
has time been lost.
00:18:38.65\00:18:39.98
Now would you come over here
00:18:40.02\00:18:41.35
to Exodus 16:4?
00:18:41.38\00:18:47.26
This talks about
the children of Israel
00:18:47.29\00:18:50.86
when they had just come
up out of the land of Egypt.
00:18:50.89\00:18:53.40
It's talking about the
Exodus, the coming out,
00:18:53.43\00:18:56.46
Exodus 16:4,
00:18:56.50\00:19:00.47
"Then the Lord
said to Moses, 'Behold,
00:19:00.50\00:19:02.44
I will rain bread
from heaven for you.
00:19:02.47\00:19:04.84
And the people shall go out
00:19:04.87\00:19:06.21
and gather a
certain quota every day,
00:19:06.24\00:19:09.04
that I may test them,
00:19:09.08\00:19:10.58
whether they will
walk in My law or not."
00:19:10.61\00:19:13.98
Verse 5, "And it
shall be on the sixth day
00:19:14.02\00:19:16.95
that they shall
prepare what they bring in,
00:19:16.99\00:19:19.45
and it shall be twice as
much as they gather daily."
00:19:19.49\00:19:23.59
This is the story of
the giving of the manna.
00:19:23.63\00:19:25.99
Verse 23, "Then he said to them,
00:19:26.03\00:19:29.23
'This is what the Lord has said:
00:19:29.26\00:19:31.30
Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest,
a holy Sabbath to the Lord..."
00:19:31.33\00:19:35.94
and it talks then about
the giving of the manna.
00:19:35.97\00:19:39.41
My friends, the
children of Israel
00:19:39.44\00:19:43.38
were in the wilderness
as you know for how long?
00:19:43.41\00:19:47.02
About forty years.
00:19:47.05\00:19:48.65
Forty years.
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.22
And to sustain them,
God gave them angel's food.
00:19:50.25\00:19:55.69
It wasn't that sort of
cake that you buy today
00:19:55.72\00:19:57.76
down at the super market.
00:19:57.79\00:19:59.33
But it was a special food
that God prepared for them.
00:19:59.36\00:20:03.57
Now the Bible says, it
would fall on the first day,
00:20:03.60\00:20:07.54
second day, third day,
the fourth day, the fifth day,
00:20:07.57\00:20:10.64
on the sixth day, there
would be double the portion,
00:20:10.67\00:20:14.84
double portion, but
on the seventh day, zero.
00:20:14.88\00:20:18.95
And the Bible tells the story
00:20:18.98\00:20:20.32
how the children
of Israel went out,
00:20:20.35\00:20:22.25
collected on the
first day, the second day,
00:20:22.28\00:20:24.12
the third day,
fourth day, the fifth day,
00:20:24.15\00:20:25.75
then the sixth day,
then they got some more.
00:20:25.79\00:20:29.72
And if you got
it on the first day
00:20:29.76\00:20:31.63
and if you got too much,
00:20:31.66\00:20:33.19
it went bad by the
time the second day came.
00:20:33.23\00:20:36.56
But if you
collected it on the sixth day,
00:20:36.60\00:20:39.13
even if you got a lot of it,
00:20:39.17\00:20:40.84
it was preserved on
the Holy Sabbath day.
00:20:40.87\00:20:45.34
Yeah, it was a miracle.
00:20:45.37\00:20:48.51
And there were miracles,
seven miracles, at least,
00:20:48.54\00:20:51.91
seven miracles a
week for forty years,
00:20:51.95\00:20:56.48
telling the people
which was the first day
00:20:56.52\00:20:58.79
and the second day and sixth day
00:20:58.82\00:21:00.16
and which day
was the Sabbath day.
00:21:00.19\00:21:03.06
I think the dumbest person
00:21:03.09\00:21:06.39
should have
been able to work out
00:21:06.43\00:21:07.90
which day was the Sabbath.
00:21:07.93\00:21:09.26
Don't you think?
00:21:09.30\00:21:10.90
Because when they went
out of the, out of the camp
00:21:10.93\00:21:13.80
and when they went
out on the seventh day,
00:21:13.84\00:21:16.07
there was none,
00:21:16.10\00:21:17.97
but a double
portion on the sixth day.
00:21:18.01\00:21:21.71
So people tell me,
time has been lost.
00:21:21.74\00:21:25.65
Let me tell you a little
story that goes back to the days
00:21:25.68\00:21:28.18
when I was in Australia.
00:21:28.22\00:21:29.55
I had some people
coming to one of my campaigns.
00:21:29.58\00:21:32.35
And this lady said to me,
you can't keep the Sabbath
00:21:32.39\00:21:37.66
because time has been lost.
00:21:37.69\00:21:40.70
I said, "Oh, is that so?"
00:21:40.73\00:21:42.40
So I told her about this text.
00:21:42.43\00:21:44.17
She said, "No, no, no.
00:21:44.20\00:21:45.53
Time has been lost."
00:21:45.57\00:21:47.77
So you can't tell
which is the seventh day?
00:21:47.80\00:21:49.67
She said, "No, it's
absolutely impossible."
00:21:49.70\00:21:52.27
I said that she was
a strict Sunday keeper.
00:21:52.31\00:21:56.08
This was going back a few years,
00:21:56.11\00:21:58.35
going back a few years.
00:21:58.38\00:21:59.71
I said, "Do you keep Sunday?"
00:21:59.75\00:22:02.98
She said, "Absolutely."
00:22:03.02\00:22:04.89
I said, "Why?"
00:22:04.92\00:22:06.25
She said, "Because the Lord rose
00:22:06.29\00:22:07.62
on the first day of the week."
00:22:07.66\00:22:09.89
I said, "So you can
tell which is the first day,
00:22:09.92\00:22:13.26
tell which is the first day,
00:22:13.29\00:22:14.96
but you can't tell
which is the seventh day."
00:22:15.00\00:22:16.80
"No," she said
because time has been lost.
00:22:16.83\00:22:20.44
I mean, what are you gonna say?
00:22:20.47\00:22:22.54
So when the children of
Israel come out of Egypt,
00:22:22.57\00:22:26.78
God made it very plain
which was the first day,
00:22:26.81\00:22:28.84
the second day, and all the
way through which was a Sabbath.
00:22:28.88\00:22:31.38
And when Jesus came,
00:22:31.41\00:22:33.28
we're not gonna take
time to read the text
00:22:33.31\00:22:35.12
but in Luke 23:52 and onwards,
00:22:35.15\00:22:38.79
it actually tells you
00:22:38.82\00:22:41.26
that Jesus died on
the preparation day,
00:22:41.29\00:22:44.76
that's Friday.
00:22:44.79\00:22:46.29
And He rose dead
on the first day,
00:22:46.33\00:22:49.53
which is Sunday.
00:22:49.56\00:22:51.23
And the day between Sunday
00:22:51.27\00:22:54.47
and the sixth
day in this passage,
00:22:54.50\00:22:56.74
in Luke 23, that is the Sabbath
according to the commandment.
00:22:56.77\00:23:00.81
It is the
Sabbath that Jesus kept
00:23:00.84\00:23:03.21
and all the apostles kept.
00:23:03.24\00:23:04.88
So it's as plain as
the nose on your face.
00:23:04.91\00:23:11.79
Luke 16:22, 23 say's
that the wicked rich people
00:23:11.82\00:23:17.23
will go to hell at death.
00:23:17.26\00:23:18.93
What do you think?
00:23:18.96\00:23:22.50
The question is that it
seems as though Jesus said
00:23:22.53\00:23:27.54
that wicked rich people
00:23:27.57\00:23:30.81
are going to go to
hell when they die.
00:23:30.84\00:23:33.74
This is the story of
the rich man and Lazarus.
00:23:33.78\00:23:38.88
Would you come
over here to Luke 15:3?
00:23:38.91\00:23:44.59
Matthew, Mark, Luke.
00:23:44.62\00:23:46.65
Luke 15:3,
00:23:46.69\00:23:50.96
now this is an area in the Bible
00:23:50.99\00:23:54.06
where you've got
lots and lots of parables.
00:23:54.10\00:23:57.60
"So He spoke this
parable to them..."
00:23:57.63\00:24:00.54
you see and chapter 16:1
"He also said to his disciples:
00:24:00.57\00:24:05.54
'There was a certain
rich man who had a steward..."
00:24:05.57\00:24:08.58
These are
parables or illustrations.
00:24:08.61\00:24:13.11
And then if you
come to chapter 16:19,
00:24:13.15\00:24:18.75
"There was a certain rich
man who was clothed in purple
00:24:18.79\00:24:21.96
and fine linen and
fared sumptuously every day.
00:24:21.99\00:24:25.69
And there was certain beggar
named Lazarus, full of sores,
00:24:25.73\00:24:29.16
who was laid at his gate,
00:24:29.20\00:24:31.00
desiring to be
fed with the crumbs
00:24:31.03\00:24:32.83
which fell from
the rich man's table."
00:24:32.87\00:24:35.04
And verse 22, "And so it
was that the beggar died,
00:24:35.07\00:24:38.24
and was carried by the
angels to Abraham's bosom.
00:24:38.27\00:24:40.94
The rich man also
died and was buried
00:24:40.98\00:24:43.45
and being in torments in Hades,
00:24:43.48\00:24:46.18
he lifted up his eyes
and saw Abraham afar off,
00:24:46.21\00:24:49.62
and Lazarus in his bosom."
00:24:49.65\00:24:51.92
And listen very carefully,
00:24:51.95\00:24:54.76
listen, this is a parable,
00:24:54.79\00:25:01.26
and the details of the
parable should not be pressed.
00:25:01.30\00:25:07.30
A parable
teaches one great truth
00:25:07.34\00:25:10.64
and this parable teaches this
00:25:10.67\00:25:13.48
that you better turn
to God while you're living
00:25:13.51\00:25:15.98
because there's
coming a time, if you don't,
00:25:16.01\00:25:18.01
there's going to
be a judgment day.
00:25:18.05\00:25:20.65
So this is a parable.
00:25:20.68\00:25:23.39
And parables teach
one great central truth,
00:25:23.42\00:25:27.72
but the Bible teaches...
00:25:27.76\00:25:29.09
And I can give you a
bunch of texts on this,
00:25:29.12\00:25:32.06
bunch of texts.
00:25:32.09\00:25:33.43
The Bible teaches
00:25:33.46\00:25:35.60
that people do not go
to hell when they die.
00:25:35.63\00:25:39.80
They don't go to
heaven when they die,
00:25:39.83\00:25:42.90
but the Bible teaches
the people sleep in the grave
00:25:42.94\00:25:48.04
until the resurrection.
00:25:48.08\00:25:51.21
But the Bible
teaches when Jesus comes,
00:25:51.25\00:25:54.28
there is a judgment day.
00:25:54.32\00:25:56.28
And on that day, the
righteous will go to glory
00:25:56.32\00:26:01.32
and the wicked will
be destroyed by fire.
00:26:01.36\00:26:06.13
Much more in our next
segment of Plain Talk.
00:26:06.16\00:26:12.00
Hello, friend.
00:26:24.55\00:26:26.05
I'm John Carter in Havana, Cuba.
00:26:26.08\00:26:29.45
I'm standing here in
Revolutionary Square.
00:26:29.48\00:26:33.82
This straight
square is dedicated
00:26:33.86\00:26:35.99
to the great
communist revolution under Fidel
00:26:36.02\00:26:39.23
that came to this
country back 50, 60 years ago.
00:26:39.26\00:26:43.43
This place is still
undergoing a revolution.
00:26:43.47\00:26:47.54
We've come to check out
the reality of the situation.
00:26:47.57\00:26:52.17
Freedom of speech is
not allowed here still,
00:26:52.21\00:26:55.68
preaching the
Gospel out of doors
00:26:55.71\00:26:58.01
is not allowed here still,
00:26:58.05\00:27:00.15
whatever you hear
about reconciliation,
00:27:00.18\00:27:02.88
nothing has really changed.
00:27:02.92\00:27:05.92
We've been told we
cannot run public campaigns
00:27:05.95\00:27:10.59
in Cuba in any
part of this world.
00:27:10.63\00:27:14.46
We can run meetings in churches.
00:27:14.50\00:27:16.97
That's allowed.
00:27:17.00\00:27:18.33
So what are we gonna do?
00:27:18.37\00:27:19.83
We're going to
support the people of God
00:27:19.87\00:27:21.40
in this part of the world.
00:27:21.44\00:27:22.80
We're going to
step through those doors
00:27:22.84\00:27:25.17
as God opens those doors.
00:27:25.21\00:27:27.84
We're not going to
come and cause a commotion
00:27:27.88\00:27:32.31
and cause trouble
to the people of God.
00:27:32.35\00:27:35.32
We will work diligently
and as wise as serpents
00:27:35.35\00:27:41.36
and as harmless as doves.
00:27:41.39\00:27:44.23
Stand with us in the
preaching of the Gospel,
00:27:44.26\00:27:47.13
wherever it is, stand with us.

for a mighty
spiritual revolution
00:28:02.08\00:28:05.38
as we take the Gospel of Christ
to the lost around the world
00:28:05.41\00:28:10.82
as God opens the doors.
00:28:10.85\00:28:13.02
