Hitler loved him. 00:02:34.25\00:02:36.79 When he was dying Nietzsche was cared forth 00:02:36.82\00:02:38.89 by his old Christian mother and sister, 00:02:38.92\00:02:42.22 nobody else wanted him. 00:02:42.26\00:02:43.89 As he was dying, 00:02:43.93\00:02:45.26 he was quoting the Bible incessantly. 00:02:45.29\00:02:48.26 Now, just want you to think of that text God on the throne. 00:02:48.30\00:02:52.70 This is the message of Daniel. 00:02:52.73\00:02:54.40 In spite of appearances, in spite of evil men, 00:02:54.44\00:02:58.67 in spite of the antichrist of demonic forces, 00:02:58.71\00:03:02.41 God is still on His throne 00:03:02.44\00:03:05.45 and God's gonna have the final word 00:03:05.48\00:03:07.25 so don't count Him out. 00:03:07.28\00:03:08.98 God is alive. 00:03:09.02\00:03:11.29 I've got a great little granddaughter, 00:03:11.32\00:03:14.02 her name is Armaley. 00:03:14.06\00:03:15.52 And Beverley and I took 00:03:15.56\00:03:17.29 Julie and the family, little Armaley, 00:03:17.33\00:03:20.03 she was I think four on this occasion. 00:03:20.06\00:03:22.06 We were eating out at Westlake Village 00:03:22.10\00:03:23.87 here in Southern California. 00:03:23.90\00:03:25.43 And a little bee came and crawl over the table 00:03:25.47\00:03:28.44 and her mother said, Julie said to her, 00:03:28.47\00:03:30.07 "Armaley, that bee is our friend. 00:03:30.11\00:03:32.41 He helps the flowers to grow. 00:03:32.44\00:03:34.94 So you be nice to the bee." 00:03:34.98\00:03:37.71 Armaley got a knife 00:03:37.75\00:03:39.08 and pushed him off on the floor. 00:03:39.11\00:03:41.58 And when the bee fell on the floor... 00:03:41.62\00:03:43.89 This is awful story, 00:03:43.92\00:03:45.25 I'm telling you this is not to condone it. 00:03:45.29\00:03:47.76 Armaley went up to the bee and stood on it. 00:03:47.79\00:03:51.26 Then she said, "Grandpa, he did now." 00:03:51.29\00:03:56.16 Now some people think God is like the bee. 00:03:56.20\00:04:00.54 They think they can stand on Him 00:04:00.57\00:04:02.90 and they can say, "He dead now." 00:04:02.94\00:04:05.87 But I want you to know, He's not dead. 00:04:05.91\00:04:08.84 Now, you can't get rid of God by standing on it. 00:04:08.88\00:04:12.01 Now look at verse 10 Daniel 7:10, 00:04:12.05\00:04:15.08 "A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. 00:04:15.12\00:04:18.05 A thousand thousands ministered to Him, 00:04:18.09\00:04:20.49 ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. 00:04:20.52\00:04:23.83 The court was seated, and the books were opened." 00:04:23.86\00:04:28.16 Did you know this 00:04:28.20\00:04:30.07 that in the Library of Congress, 00:04:30.10\00:04:31.87 Washington D.C 00:04:31.90\00:04:33.40 have these tremendous words from Tennyson? 00:04:33.44\00:04:37.47 "One God, one law, 00:04:37.51\00:04:41.28 one element, 00:04:41.31\00:04:43.38 one far-off event 00:04:43.41\00:04:45.38 to which the whole creation moves." 00:04:45.41\00:04:50.59 The Bible tells me, history confirms it 00:04:50.62\00:04:54.06 that everything is moving towards a tremendous climax 00:04:54.09\00:04:58.69 when Christ is going to come again to planet earth. 00:04:58.73\00:05:03.23 And look at Daniel 7:11-12. 00:05:03.26\00:05:06.33 "I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words 00:05:06.37\00:05:09.44 which the horn, this king, was speaking, 00:05:09.47\00:05:11.74 I watched till the beast was slain, 00:05:11.77\00:05:13.98 and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 00:05:14.01\00:05:18.31 As for the rest of the beasts, 00:05:18.35\00:05:20.05 they had their dominion taken away, 00:05:20.08\00:05:21.98 yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time." 00:05:22.02\00:05:27.72 The Bible teaches this 00:05:27.76\00:05:30.63 that the antichrist, all evil powers in the world 00:05:30.66\00:05:35.63 will finally be destroyed. 00:05:35.66\00:05:38.83 There will come a day which will be the end of evil. 00:05:38.87\00:05:43.20 That's what the Bible says. 00:05:43.24\00:05:45.27 You ought to be glad about that. 00:05:45.31\00:05:47.28 Look at Daniel 7:13-14, 00:05:47.31\00:05:50.01 "I watched in the night visions, 00:05:50.05\00:05:51.98 and behold, One like the Son of Man, 00:05:52.01\00:05:54.38 coming with the clouds of heaven! 00:05:54.42\00:05:56.18 He came to the Ancient of Days," 00:05:56.22\00:05:58.19 that's God, 00:05:58.22\00:05:59.55 "And they brought Him near before Him. 00:05:59.59\00:06:01.52 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, 00:06:01.56\00:06:06.09 that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. 00:06:06.13\00:06:10.47 His dominion is an everlasting dominion, 00:06:10.50\00:06:14.54 which shall not pass away, 00:06:14.57\00:06:17.27 and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed." 00:06:17.31\00:06:21.98 It talks here about a person called the Son of Man. 00:06:22.01\00:06:26.82 That person in the scriptures is called "The Divine logos." 00:06:26.85\00:06:33.56 The Word, in the beginning was the Word. 00:06:33.59\00:06:37.43 He was there a trillion years ago. 00:06:37.46\00:06:40.80 He was the creator of the cosmos. 00:06:40.83\00:06:44.17 And the Bible tells us 00:06:44.20\00:06:45.57 that in this vision the incarnate Son of God 00:06:45.60\00:06:51.14 comes to God the Father, 00:06:51.17\00:06:54.24 and God the Father gives to Him all the kingdoms of this world 00:06:54.28\00:06:59.48 and evil is destroyed. 00:06:59.51\00:07:02.48 Remember the words 00:07:02.52\00:07:05.15 Congress... Library of Congress, 00:07:05.19\00:07:08.66 "One God, one law, 00:07:08.69\00:07:11.63 one element 00:07:11.66\00:07:13.56 and one far-off event 00:07:13.60\00:07:16.13 to which the whole creation moves." 00:07:16.16\00:07:21.94 We are moving in the stream of prophetic time. 00:07:21.97\00:07:28.44 And the next great event in the history of this world 00:07:28.48\00:07:31.91 will be the great Judgment Day. 00:07:31.95\00:07:34.65 Look at verses 15 to 18 in this chapter. 00:07:34.68\00:07:38.12 "I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, 00:07:38.15\00:07:41.66 and the visions of my head troubled me. 00:07:41.69\00:07:43.73 I came near to one of those who stood by, 00:07:43.76\00:07:46.06 and asked him the truth of all this. 00:07:46.09\00:07:48.26 So he told me and made known to me 00:07:48.30\00:07:50.83 the interpretation of these things." 00:07:50.87\00:07:53.54 Look at it in the Bible, 00:07:53.57\00:07:54.90 "These great beasts, which are four, 00:07:54.94\00:07:58.51 are four kings that shall arise out of the earth. 00:07:58.54\00:08:02.14 But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, 00:08:02.18\00:08:05.68 and possess the kingdom forever, 00:08:05.71\00:08:07.85 even forever and ever." 00:08:07.88\00:08:10.59 This means whatever happens in North Korea, 00:08:10.62\00:08:16.46 whatever happens in the Middle East, 00:08:16.49\00:08:19.46 whatever happens in Washington 00:08:19.49\00:08:22.60 there is victory ahead for the people of God. 00:08:22.63\00:08:27.40 That's what it tells us. 00:08:27.44\00:08:28.90 One great event. 00:08:28.94\00:08:31.24 One of my favorite characters in history, 00:08:31.27\00:08:33.21 of course, is Winston Churchill. 00:08:33.24\00:08:37.15 The black dark days when England was being bombed, 00:08:37.18\00:08:42.55 the great old man went around and gave this sign, victory. 00:08:42.58\00:08:48.32 "Even though it looks like we're getting beaten up, 00:08:48.36\00:08:51.33 I want you to know 00:08:51.36\00:08:52.76 there is victory that is coming." 00:08:52.79\00:08:55.80 That is why we can be optimistic and hopeful. 00:08:55.83\00:08:59.40 And that's why we can have victorious living 00:08:59.43\00:09:01.44 because there is victory 00:09:01.47\00:09:03.27 that is coming for the people of God. 00:09:03.30\00:09:06.57 When I was a boy, I went into the tropics in North Australia, 00:09:06.61\00:09:10.95 I drove a tractor. 00:09:10.98\00:09:14.22 And I can remember in the tropics, 00:09:14.25\00:09:17.09 in the afternoon at 3 o'clock it get intensely hot 00:09:17.12\00:09:22.29 and then a great storm would come. 00:09:22.32\00:09:25.86 You'd hear a muttering, somebody said, 00:09:25.89\00:09:29.06 "I like the sound of God moving the furniture upstairs." 00:09:29.10\00:09:33.50 So God is moving the furniture. 00:09:33.54\00:09:36.40 The thunder is rolling, the lightning is crashing, 00:09:36.44\00:09:40.44 then there would come tremendous tropical storm. 00:09:40.48\00:09:43.95 There is a tremendous storm coming, 00:09:43.98\00:09:45.98 I want you to know this. 00:09:46.01\00:09:48.95 Don't want to be a false prophet 00:09:48.98\00:09:50.32 and tell you everything's going to be just fine. 00:09:50.35\00:09:53.76 The Bible says there's victory ahead 00:09:53.79\00:09:55.72 but firstly there is a tremendous storm. 00:09:55.76\00:09:59.89 Then after the storm, 00:09:59.93\00:10:02.86 wonderful, sky would come out blue. 00:10:02.90\00:10:06.74 No humidity, it's cool, fresh, peace. 00:10:06.77\00:10:12.17 And it's going to be like that after the storm. 00:10:15.28\00:10:19.15 Look at Daniel 7:19 and onwards, 00:10:19.18\00:10:23.12 "Then I wished to know the truth 00:10:23.15\00:10:24.49 about the fourth beast," 00:10:24.52\00:10:26.25 that's Rome, "Which was different from all the others, 00:10:26.29\00:10:28.66 exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron 00:10:28.69\00:10:31.13 and its nails of bronze, 00:10:31.16\00:10:32.59 which devoured, broke in pieces, 00:10:32.63\00:10:34.33 and trampled the residue with its feet, 00:10:34.36\00:10:36.23 and the ten horns that were on its head, 00:10:36.26\00:10:39.40 and of the other horn which came up, 00:10:39.43\00:10:41.30 before which three fell, 00:10:41.34\00:10:43.41 namely, that horn that had eyes 00:10:43.44\00:10:46.24 and a mouth which spoke pompous words, 00:10:46.27\00:10:49.78 whose appearance was greater than his fellows." 00:10:49.81\00:10:53.72 Keep reading because the Bible tells us 00:10:53.75\00:10:56.35 some amazing things about this. 00:10:56.38\00:11:00.86 Verse 21, "I was watching, 00:11:00.89\00:11:03.09 and the same horn was making war against the saints, 00:11:03.12\00:11:07.30 and prevailing against them, 00:11:07.33\00:11:09.50 until the Ancient of Days came, 00:11:09.53\00:11:12.60 and a judgment was made 00:11:12.63\00:11:14.30 in favor of the saints of the Most High, 00:11:14.34\00:11:17.67 and the time came for the saints 00:11:17.71\00:11:20.11 to possess the kingdom." 00:11:20.14\00:11:22.68 Now the text is pretty plain, 00:11:22.71\00:11:26.15 I want you to think about this. 00:11:26.18\00:11:28.15 Got the fourth beast 00:11:28.18\00:11:29.72 and the fourth beast is the great Roman Empire. 00:11:29.75\00:11:34.12 That's true, that's history. 00:11:34.16\00:11:36.19 Every commentator worth its salt knows this. 00:11:36.22\00:11:39.29 Problem is today we live in an age of superficiality 00:11:39.33\00:11:43.33 especially in the Christian church 00:11:43.37\00:11:46.84 where people want three points in a poem. 00:11:46.87\00:11:50.54 You're not gonna get that here today, 00:11:50.57\00:11:51.91 three points in a poem. 00:11:51.94\00:11:53.31 You're gonna get the ten horns. 00:11:53.34\00:11:55.48 So you got the Roman beast 00:11:55.51\00:11:57.35 and then you got the ten horns 00:11:57.38\00:11:59.68 that represent the break up of the Roman Empire. 00:11:59.71\00:12:03.35 And then the Bible tells us, 00:12:03.39\00:12:05.75 "On the ruins of the Roman 00:12:05.79\00:12:08.69 Empire there arises another great world power." 00:12:08.72\00:12:15.40 And the question is, of course, did it happen? 00:12:15.43\00:12:22.30 Did it happen? 00:12:22.34\00:12:24.97 Who are the ten horns? 00:12:25.01\00:12:26.91 Well, that's Europe. 00:12:26.94\00:12:28.28 Who's the little horn? 00:12:28.31\00:12:30.05 Look at verse 23-25, 00:12:30.08\00:12:33.65 "Thus he said: 00:12:33.68\00:12:35.02 The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, 00:12:35.05\00:12:39.05 which shall be different from all the other kingdoms..." 00:12:39.09\00:12:43.86 That's the Roman power. 00:12:43.89\00:12:45.23 "And shall devour the whole earth, 00:12:45.26\00:12:47.50 trample it down and break it in pieces. 00:12:47.53\00:12:52.33 The ten horns are ten kings 00:12:52.37\00:12:55.30 who shall arise from this kingdom..." 00:12:55.34\00:12:57.91 Ten kings have come out of Pagan Rome. 00:12:57.94\00:13:02.01 "And another shall rise after them, 00:13:02.04\00:13:04.01 he shall be different from the first ones, 00:13:04.05\00:13:06.61 and shall subdue three kings. 00:13:06.65\00:13:08.92 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, 00:13:08.95\00:13:14.52 shall persecute the saints of the Most High, 00:13:14.56\00:13:17.29 and shall intend to change times and law. 00:13:17.33\00:13:20.36 And the saints shall be given into his hand 00:13:20.40\00:13:23.26 for a time and times and half a time." 00:13:23.30\00:13:30.11 Now notice, 00:13:30.14\00:13:31.67 put your thinking caps on and concentrate. 00:13:31.71\00:13:36.75 Notice the identification marks of this power that arises 00:13:36.78\00:13:42.42 on the ruins of the Roman Empire. 00:13:42.45\00:13:45.25 Number one: 00:13:45.29\00:13:48.06 It comes out of the Roman Empire. 00:13:48.09\00:13:53.73 So we're not thinking about some power in America. 00:13:53.76\00:13:58.40 Number two: 00:13:58.43\00:13:59.77 It comes from among the kingdoms of Europe. 00:13:59.80\00:14:02.77 It comes up among the ten horns. 00:14:02.80\00:14:07.98 Number three: 00:14:08.01\00:14:09.94 It comes up after the kingdoms of Europe 00:14:09.98\00:14:12.61 and they were settled by about 500 A.D. 00:14:12.65\00:14:17.02 So he comes up into world prominence after 500 A.D. 00:14:17.05\00:14:20.82 And the Bible says, and you notice the words, 00:14:20.86\00:14:25.99 "He shall be different." 00:14:26.03\00:14:29.66 This is a power 00:14:29.70\00:14:31.83 that is different to any other power. 00:14:31.87\00:14:35.44 And when we turn to 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 00:14:35.47\00:14:40.74 we are told why he is different. 00:14:40.78\00:14:43.91 "Let no one deceive you by any means, 00:14:43.95\00:14:45.71 for that Day will not come 00:14:45.75\00:14:47.08 unless the falling away comes first, 00:14:47.12\00:14:49.25 and the man of sin is revealed, 00:14:49.28\00:14:51.35 the son of perdition, 00:14:51.39\00:14:52.79 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God 00:14:52.82\00:14:56.73 or that is worshiped, 00:14:56.76\00:14:58.09 so that he sits as God in the temple of God, 00:14:58.13\00:15:02.63 showing himself that he is God." 00:15:02.66\00:15:05.03 This is not atheism. 00:15:05.07\00:15:09.40 This is a power 00:15:09.44\00:15:12.01 that lives inside the church. 00:15:12.04\00:15:18.85 So this is a pseudo religious power. 00:15:18.88\00:15:22.82 Point number five: 00:15:22.85\00:15:25.52 The Bible says, he subdues three kings, 00:15:25.55\00:15:29.19 the Heruli, the Vandals and the Ostrogoths. 00:15:29.22\00:15:31.73 He speaks pompous words 00:15:31.76\00:15:33.83 and makes extraordinary claims. 00:15:33.86\00:15:37.97 He persecutes. 00:15:38.00\00:15:40.70 He is the power that believes 00:15:40.74\00:15:42.27 in the union of church and state 00:15:42.30\00:15:43.97 and believes in the efficacy of persecution 00:15:44.01\00:15:49.58 and torture. 00:15:49.61\00:15:50.98 And that is why every true American 00:15:51.01\00:15:55.15 is opposed to torture 00:15:55.18\00:15:59.25 because it comes from the antichrist. 00:15:59.29\00:16:03.16 Point number eight: 00:16:03.19\00:16:04.53 He tries to change God's law. 00:16:04.56\00:16:06.83 That's another talk. 00:16:06.86\00:16:09.40 And he rules for three and a half years. 00:16:09.43\00:16:12.40 The Bible says, "Time times and half a time." 00:16:12.43\00:16:15.97 And that means three and a half years 00:16:16.00\00:16:18.64 as proven by Revelation 12:6 and 13:5. 00:16:18.67\00:16:24.45 Revelation 12, "Then the woman, or the church, 00:16:24.48\00:16:27.18 fled into the wilderness, 00:16:27.22\00:16:28.55 where she has a place prepared by God, 00:16:28.58\00:16:30.19 that they should feed her there 00:16:30.22\00:16:31.55 one thousand two hundred and sixty days." 00:16:31.59\00:16:34.42 And so the true church is persecuted for 1260 days, 00:16:34.46\00:16:39.06 and in Bible prophecy a day symbolizes a year. 00:16:39.09\00:16:45.07 In the thinking of the Hebrews, 00:16:45.10\00:16:48.00 a day symbolized a year. 00:16:48.04\00:16:52.71 Revelation 13 says, 00:16:52.74\00:16:54.24 "And he was given a mouth speaking great things 00:16:54.28\00:16:56.85 and blasphemies, 00:16:56.88\00:16:58.31 and he was given authority 00:16:58.35\00:16:59.91 to continue for forty-two months." 00:16:59.95\00:17:02.35 And 30 days in a biblical month, 00:17:02.38\00:17:04.82 30 by 42 equals to 1260 days 00:17:04.85\00:17:08.62 or 1260 years. 00:17:08.66\00:17:11.99 Now you say, "I've never heard the like." 00:17:12.03\00:17:16.06 Well, my friend, this is what the founding fathers of America 00:17:16.10\00:17:20.40 taught and believed. 00:17:20.44\00:17:23.67 Let me tell you how it happened. 00:17:23.71\00:17:26.04 And point number 10: 00:17:26.07\00:17:28.71 The Bible says, "He endures to the end." 00:17:28.74\00:17:32.01 He'd last right through history and last to the very end. 00:17:32.05\00:17:36.69 How did it happen? 00:17:36.72\00:17:39.05 The Bible tells me 00:17:39.09\00:17:42.39 and we're going to put up some of it, 00:17:42.42\00:17:43.76 here, here it is, it's great. 00:17:43.79\00:17:45.13 I've got a really super team. 00:17:45.16\00:17:48.50 1260 years that is called by Bible scholars, 00:17:48.53\00:17:52.53 by Catholics and Protestants and Jews and Muslims, 00:17:52.57\00:17:56.50 "The dark ages". 00:17:56.54\00:17:57.91 1260 days, church and state joined together. 00:18:00.91\00:18:04.65 That is why I am so opposed 00:18:04.68\00:18:07.48 to the church getting involved in politics 00:18:07.52\00:18:10.59 and politics getting involved in the church. 00:18:10.62\00:18:14.86 That's the essence in the heart of antichrist. 00:18:14.89\00:18:18.16 May be popular in Washington but it's not popular with God. 00:18:18.19\00:18:24.93 1260 days, this was a time of bloodshed 00:18:24.97\00:18:28.90 and darkness. 00:18:28.94\00:18:31.37 When vast numbers of earnest Catholics and Protestants 00:18:31.41\00:18:36.44 and Jews were butchered 00:18:36.48\00:18:39.35 by a great religious system. 00:18:39.38\00:18:43.72 Man-made religion is generally a very bad thing. 00:18:43.75\00:18:47.46 And then you had at the end of this period, 00:18:47.49\00:18:50.59 The Protestant Reformation, 00:18:50.63\00:18:52.36 and remember they are all Roman Catholics 00:18:52.39\00:18:54.46 as Protestant Reformers. 00:18:54.50\00:18:57.00 You had Great Britain defeating the Spanish Armada 00:18:57.03\00:19:00.94 that was coming to England to set up the inquisition. 00:19:00.97\00:19:04.21 And then you had as a direct result of this, 00:19:04.24\00:19:07.64 my American friends, 00:19:07.68\00:19:09.58 you had the rise 00:19:09.61\00:19:13.25 of the United States of America. 00:19:13.28\00:19:20.26 Now, the boastful pompous king who persecutes represent... 00:19:20.29\00:19:26.16 and we're not talking about people today, 00:19:26.19\00:19:29.50 can you get that? 00:19:29.53\00:19:31.03 We're not criticizing people today, 00:19:31.07\00:19:34.54 we're talking history. 00:19:34.57\00:19:37.01 Man-made religion based on man-made traditions 00:19:37.04\00:19:40.74 that originated on the Roman Empire 00:19:40.78\00:19:45.85 that brought about the Dark Ages. 00:19:45.88\00:19:48.72 That's why the pilgrims, 00:19:48.75\00:19:50.72 God blessed them came to America. 00:19:50.75\00:19:54.46 Most Americans have forgotten their holy roots. 00:19:54.49\00:20:01.36 They think America ought to be like any other country, 00:20:01.40\00:20:06.60 you see. 00:20:06.63\00:20:07.97 They came to escape 00:20:11.04\00:20:12.37 the religious intolerance of the old world. 00:20:12.41\00:20:15.21 They wanted a state without a king. 00:20:15.24\00:20:18.58 They almost got that. 00:20:18.61\00:20:21.38 A state without a king and a church without a pope. 00:20:21.42\00:20:26.22 America became great 00:20:26.25\00:20:27.89 because of her faith in God and the Bible. 00:20:27.92\00:20:32.26 Not her faith in man-made religion. 00:20:32.29\00:20:36.36 With man-made religious laws 00:20:36.40\00:20:39.67 that stifle the spirit of liberty. 00:20:39.70\00:20:43.71 Every true American believes in liberty and freedom for all. 00:20:43.74\00:20:50.38 Now I have here 00:20:50.41\00:20:52.85 which we're going to make available to our partners. 00:20:52.88\00:20:56.62 I'll tell you some time later how we're going to do this. 00:20:56.65\00:20:59.15 This is the Geneva Bible. 00:20:59.19\00:21:02.12 That is America's Bible. 00:21:02.16\00:21:06.76 It came with the Pilgrim Fathers 00:21:06.80\00:21:10.27 on those little boats. 00:21:10.30\00:21:14.17 This, not this exact one... 00:21:14.20\00:21:18.31 That's the Geneva Bible that goes back to 1599, 00:21:18.34\00:21:24.21 America's Bible. 00:21:24.25\00:21:28.35 And that made America great 00:21:28.38\00:21:30.55 with all the seculars telling us today, 00:21:30.59\00:21:32.95 "Get rid of God, get rid of the Bible." 00:21:32.99\00:21:35.82 What they're going to do 00:21:35.86\00:21:37.29 if they succeed 00:21:37.33\00:21:38.69 is take us back to the Dark Ages, 00:21:38.73\00:21:45.00 and a time of hate and persecution. 00:21:45.03\00:21:51.37 Did you know people are ten times better 00:21:51.41\00:21:53.61 when they follow Christ and the Bible? 00:21:53.64\00:21:56.71 I have proof for this. 00:21:56.75\00:21:58.68 It's very controversial, the trouble is, it's true. 00:21:58.71\00:22:03.59 You can go and look this up, look up the corruption index. 00:22:03.62\00:22:06.86 Go and Google it. 00:22:06.89\00:22:09.02 The best countries for honesty, 00:22:09.06\00:22:12.39 the least corrupt countries for honesty 00:22:12.43\00:22:15.13 are those countries 00:22:15.16\00:22:18.30 that embraced the teachings of the Bible 00:22:18.33\00:22:22.90 and the Geneva Bible and the King James Version. 00:22:22.94\00:22:27.38 Got to talk about that more next week. 00:22:27.41\00:22:29.01 You say, "I can't believe that." 00:22:29.04\00:22:31.21 Well, just go and Google it, the corruption index. 00:22:31.25\00:22:35.48 The countries that accepted Christ, the Bible, 00:22:35.52\00:22:41.02 you know the book of freedom, it's the Bible. 00:22:41.06\00:22:44.99 "You shall know the truth 00:22:45.03\00:22:47.30 and the truth shall make you free," 00:22:47.33\00:22:48.96 said our blessed Lord. 00:22:49.00\00:22:50.50 Look at the verse 26, 00:22:50.53\00:22:53.84 "When all this is finished but the court shall be seated, 00:22:53.87\00:22:57.24 they shall take away his dominion, to consume 00:22:57.27\00:23:00.48 and destroy it forever." 00:23:00.51\00:23:03.14 It's going to come to an end, 00:23:03.18\00:23:05.25 a system of apostasy and a system of oppression 00:23:05.28\00:23:08.98 and a system of man-made religion 00:23:09.02\00:23:11.32 and a system of man-made rules 00:23:11.35\00:23:13.96 that take liberty from people. 00:23:13.99\00:23:16.09 I'm for freedom. 00:23:16.12\00:23:18.63 Verse 27, "Then the kingdom and dominion, 00:23:18.66\00:23:24.90 and the greatness of the kingdoms 00:23:24.93\00:23:27.30 under the whole heaven, 00:23:27.34\00:23:29.67 shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. 00:23:29.70\00:23:34.11 His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, 00:23:34.14\00:23:38.21 and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." 00:23:38.25\00:23:43.15 So it ends up good. 00:23:43.18\00:23:45.52 God's people will be promoted to glory. 00:23:45.55\00:23:49.99 And if you believe that, 00:23:50.03\00:23:51.89 you can have a spring in your step, 00:23:51.93\00:23:55.43 you can be optimistic, you can be hopeful. 00:23:55.46\00:23:59.17 Did you know that the German soldiers 00:23:59.20\00:24:01.80 on the eastern front who received dreadful wounds 00:24:01.84\00:24:06.47 recovered far better than those who received little wounds. 00:24:06.51\00:24:10.71 You know why? 00:24:10.75\00:24:12.08 Because if you got a dreadful wound, 00:24:12.11\00:24:15.58 it was a ticket to home. 00:24:15.62\00:24:18.02 And they said, "Yeah my legs been blown off 00:24:18.05\00:24:20.76 but I'm going home." 00:24:20.79\00:24:23.49 And those who got little wound, they said, "I'm stuck here." 00:24:23.53\00:24:28.03 Hope saves. 00:24:28.06\00:24:32.13 The death of hope 00:24:32.17\00:24:34.14 always leads to the hope for death. 00:24:34.17\00:24:36.81 But if you believe this great prophecy, 00:24:40.11\00:24:42.21 you know what it tells you, 00:24:42.24\00:24:44.21 it tells you there is a God in heaven. 00:24:44.25\00:24:46.75 This is the evidence. 00:24:46.78\00:24:49.48 This is overwhelming evidence. 00:24:49.52\00:24:51.22 We don't say, "Oh, just believe, just trust." 00:24:51.25\00:24:54.82 No, no, no. 00:24:54.86\00:24:56.19 We say, "Believe in the truth and you've seen the truth." 00:24:56.22\00:25:02.26 You can argue with me, 00:25:02.30\00:25:04.07 but you can't argue with Babylon, 00:25:04.10\00:25:05.57 Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome. 00:25:05.60\00:25:07.40 The break up of the Roman Empire, 00:25:07.44\00:25:09.14 the arise of a great system of church state. 00:25:09.17\00:25:13.68 You can't, and the rise of freedom, 00:25:13.71\00:25:16.64 you can't argue about this. 00:25:16.68\00:25:20.02 Verse 27, oh, we read that, verse 28. 00:25:20.05\00:25:24.62 "This is the end of the account. 00:25:24.65\00:25:26.22 As for me, Daniel, 00:25:26.25\00:25:27.59 my
