The Carter Report
presents "Living Victoriously,"
00:00:01.63\00:00:06.10
Secrets of Success
00:00:06.13\00:00:07.47
from Prime Minister
Daniel of Babylon City
00:00:07.50\00:00:10.57
with your host John Carter.
00:00:10.61\00:00:12.61
Welcome back to
Living Victoriously.
00:00:25.62\00:00:27.46
This is Daniel 8.
00:00:27.49\00:00:29.62
And this is a pick up
from the previous program.
00:00:29.66\00:00:32.56
I'm going to
read you a statement.
00:00:32.59\00:00:34.63
We're talking about the
desolation of Christianity
00:00:34.66\00:00:38.80
in the days that are
called the Dark Ages.
00:00:38.83\00:00:42.40
I'm going to give you a
statement here from Mosheim.
00:00:42.44\00:00:46.57
I'm going to read it to you,
00:00:46.61\00:00:47.94
talks about what happened
in the Christian Church.
00:00:47.98\00:00:51.01
"An enormous train of
different superstitions
00:00:51.05\00:00:55.18
were gradually substituted
in the place of true religion
00:00:55.22\00:00:59.39
and genuine piety.
00:00:59.42\00:01:01.99
This odious revolution
00:01:02.02\00:01:04.69
was owing to a
variety of reasons.
00:01:04.73\00:01:08.30
A preposterous
desire of imitating..."
00:01:08.33\00:01:12.07
Listen to this.
00:01:12.10\00:01:13.44
"The Pagan rites,
and of blending them
00:01:13.47\00:01:16.17
with the Christian worship,
and that idle propensity,
00:01:16.20\00:01:20.44
which the generality of
mankind have for a gaudy
00:01:20.48\00:01:26.11
and ostentatious religion,
00:01:26.15\00:01:29.05
all contributed to establish
a reign of superstition
00:01:29.08\00:01:34.09
upon the ruins of Christianity."
00:01:34.12\00:01:37.73
And how would the
people know any difference?
00:01:37.76\00:01:41.63
How would they?
00:01:41.66\00:01:43.00
Because they
didn't have the Bible,
00:01:43.03\00:01:46.30
they were not taught the Bible,
00:01:46.33\00:01:48.94
and so they were simply
00:01:48.97\00:01:51.07
the victims of the
biggest fake news event
00:01:51.11\00:01:54.81
in the history of the world.
00:01:54.84\00:01:56.64
Now here is a statement
00:01:56.68\00:01:58.15
from the famous
Church Historian Eusebius.
00:01:58.18\00:02:01.52
Just look at
this, if you don't mind.
00:02:01.55\00:02:05.72
"In order to render Christianity
00:02:05.75\00:02:07.82
more attractive
to the Gentiles..."
00:02:07.86\00:02:10.99
Read pagans.
00:02:11.03\00:02:13.29
"The priest adopted
the exterior vestments
00:02:13.33\00:02:17.13
and ornaments used
in the pagan cult."
00:02:17.17\00:02:23.77
Now people have said to me,
00:02:23.81\00:02:25.51
"Why do these
clergymen dress in this way?
00:02:25.54\00:02:30.45
We do not say it
sarcastically or unkindly.
00:02:30.48\00:02:34.42
They got it from the pagans.
00:02:34.45\00:02:38.05
And when the pagans saw them
dressed like this, they said,
00:02:38.09\00:02:41.69
"We're gonna join too."
00:02:41.72\00:02:44.09
And that's how the church grew.
00:02:44.13\00:02:47.96
This commenced the
reign of superstition.
00:02:48.00\00:02:53.54
That's why Washington said,
00:02:53.57\00:02:55.27
"You can't govern people
without God in the Bible."
00:02:55.30\00:02:59.84
A democracy will only work
00:02:59.87\00:03:02.04
if you have an
informed populace,
00:03:02.08\00:03:06.35
intelligent people.
00:03:06.38\00:03:08.65
Else democracy is going to
lead you down the road to hell,
00:03:08.68\00:03:12.52
if nobody knows anything.
00:03:12.55\00:03:15.36
And so the Bible was taken
from the people as it is today.
00:03:15.39\00:03:21.16
Reign of superstition,
the great counterfeit,
00:03:21.20\00:03:25.47
and the watchword was,
"Keep the dumb people dumb."
00:03:25.50\00:03:30.64
Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:03:30.67\00:03:32.74
"Keep the people in ignorance,
00:03:32.77\00:03:36.68
teach them not to
question the church,
00:03:36.71\00:03:41.18
teach them to
worship authority."
00:03:41.22\00:03:46.92
That is the very antithesis
of the American dream.
00:03:46.96\00:03:53.19
"Give me liberty,
give me death," you say.
00:03:53.23\00:03:56.97
I will be free.
00:03:57.00\00:03:59.63
Soul of man must be
free because that, of course,
00:03:59.67\00:04:02.70
is the teaching of the Bible.
00:04:02.74\00:04:04.57
Now we're going to put
up the true and the false.
00:04:04.61\00:04:07.78
I want you to bear with
me, not to get offended,
00:04:07.81\00:04:11.28
not trying to offend anybody
00:04:11.31\00:04:13.21
because God has got
His people in every church.
00:04:13.25\00:04:16.05
I want you to know this.
00:04:16.08\00:04:17.42
We're gonna have
the true and the false.
00:04:17.45\00:04:19.69
The true, the Bible
and the Bible alone.
00:04:19.72\00:04:22.72
The false, the
tradition of the church.
00:04:22.76\00:04:25.53
What the church says.
00:04:25.56\00:04:28.06
Over on this side
again, here's another one.
00:04:28.10\00:04:30.30
The true, the Bible,
the commandments of God,
00:04:30.33\00:04:34.74
the commandment of God,
or the commandments of God,
00:04:34.77\00:04:37.67
and the commandments
of the Roman Church.
00:04:37.71\00:04:43.21
The true, salvation
through faith alone, sola fide.
00:04:43.24\00:04:50.02
The false,
salvation by grace plus works.
00:04:50.05\00:04:55.76
The true, Christ
our only high priest.
00:04:55.79\00:05:00.63
The false, the
pope our high priest.
00:05:00.66\00:05:05.43
"Pontifex Maximus."
00:05:05.47\00:05:08.57
The true,
confession to Christ alone.
00:05:08.60\00:05:13.17
I don't confess
my sins to any man,
00:05:13.21\00:05:17.71
except the man Christ Jesus.
00:05:17.75\00:05:20.25
But confession to the priest...
00:05:20.28\00:05:22.45
You never read in the scriptures
00:05:22.48\00:05:24.69
in the New Testament
00:05:24.72\00:05:26.05
of a soul ever confessing
his sins to a priest, never.
00:05:26.09\00:05:29.86
But if the people
don't know the Bible,
00:05:29.89\00:05:33.93
are they going to question?
00:05:33.96\00:05:35.30
Of course, not.
00:05:35.33\00:05:36.97
The true, the one sacrifice
of the cross once for all,
00:05:37.00\00:05:40.97
the atoning sacrifice.
00:05:41.00\00:05:42.77
The false, the
sacrifice of the mass.
00:05:42.80\00:05:47.71
As was described by
the Council of Trent,
00:05:47.74\00:05:50.61
a true
sacrifice of propitiation,
00:05:50.65\00:05:54.25
Council of Trent.
00:05:54.28\00:05:56.08
The true,
Christ our only savior.
00:05:56.12\00:05:58.99
False, Mary, our
co-redeemer. Mary, pray for us.
00:05:59.02\00:06:04.13
The true, eternal security.
00:06:04.16\00:06:06.26
The false is purgatory
which is never mentioned
00:06:06.29\00:06:11.40
or taught in the Bible, it
is not taught in the Bible,
00:06:11.43\00:06:15.10
you cannot find it in the Bible.
00:06:15.14\00:06:18.04
But it is a
theological necessity,
00:06:18.07\00:06:20.24
if you do not
understand the gospel.
00:06:20.28\00:06:22.98
Because when I come
to Christ I am saved now,
00:06:23.01\00:06:26.88
and I'm ready
to go to glory now.
00:06:26.92\00:06:29.62
But the false says,
"No, you are not ready,
00:06:29.65\00:06:33.12
you must be purged
in the flames of fire
00:06:33.15\00:06:36.62
for a million years or two."
00:06:36.66\00:06:41.50
On the side of the
true, we have sola scriptura,
00:06:41.53\00:06:45.03
only scripture, sola Christus,
only Christ, sola gratia,
00:06:45.07\00:06:50.97
only grace, sola
fide on the other side.
00:06:51.01\00:06:54.44
And I say this
with Christian charity
00:06:54.48\00:06:57.18
without wishing to
offend any of my beloved friends
00:06:57.21\00:07:01.08
who may be a part of that system
00:07:01.12\00:07:03.65
because God has a multitude
of earnest sincere Christians
00:07:03.69\00:07:07.39
in that system.
00:07:07.42\00:07:09.22
But in that system
you have indulgences
00:07:09.26\00:07:11.99
not taught in the Bible,
relics, prayers for the dead.
00:07:12.03\00:07:15.80
Don't pray for the dead
because it does no good.
00:07:15.83\00:07:19.97
They are asleep
awaiting the resurrection.
00:07:20.00\00:07:23.91
Praying to the dead saints.
00:07:23.94\00:07:27.04
Do not pray to the dead saints,
pray to the living Christ.
00:07:27.08\00:07:31.45
Papal infallibility,
00:07:31.48\00:07:33.15
the celibacy of
priests and nuns.
00:07:33.18\00:07:36.99
With all the awful consequences
00:07:37.02\00:07:39.55
that we shall not
begin to describe here today,
00:07:39.59\00:07:44.16
but the scandal of Christendom,
00:07:44.19\00:07:46.59
masses for the dead,
images and persecution.
00:07:46.63\00:07:51.13
But on this side we
have some wonderful words.
00:07:51.17\00:07:54.54
We have liberty, life,
00:07:54.57\00:07:57.57
holiness, and prosperity.
00:07:57.61\00:08:02.14
And I can say this as a fact
00:08:02.18\00:08:04.18
and nobody can
challenge me on this.
00:08:04.21\00:08:07.02
The people who chose the true
00:08:07.05\00:08:10.19
became the freest
people in the world
00:08:10.22\00:08:13.86
with the
greatest amount of life,
00:08:13.89\00:08:16.46
and holiness, and prosperity.
00:08:16.49\00:08:19.16
That is the truth
00:08:19.19\00:08:21.26
because it is
God's Word that saves.
00:08:21.30\00:08:25.90
As the Bible was laid aside,
00:08:25.93\00:08:29.67
the church and the world
00:08:29.70\00:08:31.04
sank into the
darkness of the night,
00:08:31.07\00:08:32.77
it is called the Dark Ages.
00:08:32.81\00:08:36.44
It went from roughly
from the days of Constantine
00:08:36.48\00:08:40.15
through until that strong
Roman Catholic monk stood up
00:08:40.18\00:08:45.39
and said, "Enough is enough."
00:08:45.42\00:08:48.66
His name was Luther.
00:08:48.69\00:08:51.56
Look at verse 12, Daniel
8:12, "Because of transgression,
00:08:51.59\00:08:55.90
an army was
given over to the horn
00:08:55.93\00:08:58.20
to oppose the daily sacrifices,
00:08:58.23\00:09:02.10
and he cast truth
down to the ground.
00:09:02.14\00:09:05.67
And he did all
this and he prospered."
00:09:05.71\00:09:11.78
God's truth was on the scaffold,
00:09:11.81\00:09:14.22
error was on the throne.
00:09:14.25\00:09:16.45
This was a time
of great persecution.
00:09:16.48\00:09:19.25
You say, "I cannot
believe these things."
00:09:19.29\00:09:22.76
The problem is, today,
00:09:22.79\00:09:24.39
we are
concerned with the trivia,
00:09:24.43\00:09:27.73
and people are
addicted to cell phones.
00:09:27.76\00:09:31.40
It is an addiction,
00:09:31.43\00:09:33.23
the same as a person
can be addicted to heroin.
00:09:33.27\00:09:37.37
People come into funerals...
00:09:37.41\00:09:40.68
They can't help themselves.
00:09:40.71\00:09:44.11
And they are
losing their capacity
00:09:44.15\00:09:46.15
to think and to reason.
00:09:46.18\00:09:48.22
It is the truth.
00:09:48.25\00:09:50.89
This was a time
of great persecution,
00:09:50.92\00:09:53.46
millions perished.
00:09:53.49\00:09:57.03
Good Roman
Catholics, who said, "No."
00:09:57.06\00:10:02.56
Protestants, Jews,
Muslims persecuted.
00:10:02.60\00:10:07.67
And God had His people
in all these organizations.
00:10:07.70\00:10:12.67
So through false
teaching and evil practices,
00:10:12.71\00:10:16.44
the church in the
world were reduced to ashes.
00:10:16.48\00:10:19.45
Wylie, the great
British historian said this
00:10:19.48\00:10:22.05
and we are afraid
to say what Wylie said,
00:10:22.08\00:10:24.45
but I will say it.
00:10:24.49\00:10:26.05
He said, "The
noonday of the papacy
00:10:26.09\00:10:28.26
was the midnight of the world."
00:10:28.29\00:10:32.26
But God is in the
restoration business.
00:10:32.29\00:10:34.63
I have people who come to me,
00:10:34.66\00:10:36.33
who are members
of my own church,
00:10:36.36\00:10:37.80
and they say, "Why I
was preaching these truths."
00:10:37.83\00:10:43.41
Will you sell your
Lord, I say to them,
00:10:43.44\00:10:46.27
for 30 pieces of silver?
00:10:46.31\00:10:50.11
This is betrayal
of the Son of God.
00:10:50.15\00:10:53.68
Where is the
faith of our fathers?
00:10:58.12\00:11:02.32
But God is in the
restoration business.
00:11:02.36\00:11:04.23
Daniel 8:13-14.
00:11:04.26\00:11:08.43
"Then I heard a
holy one speaking,
00:11:08.46\00:11:10.33
another holy one
said to that certain one
00:11:10.37\00:11:12.70
who was
speaking, these are angels,
00:11:12.73\00:11:14.37
'How long will the vision be,
concerning the daily sacrifice
00:11:14.40\00:11:17.71
and the
transgression of desolation,
00:11:17.74\00:11:19.91
the giving of both the sanctuary
00:11:19.94\00:11:21.88
and the host to be
trampled underfoot.?'
00:11:21.91\00:11:24.65
And he said to
me, 'For 2,300 days
00:11:24.68\00:11:27.65
evening, mornings,
00:11:27.68\00:11:29.08
or years then the
sanctuary shall be cleansed,"
00:11:29.12\00:11:33.09
or vindicated, or
restored to its rightful state.
00:11:33.12\00:11:38.33
The Hebrew word is
tsadaq, that means vindicate.
00:11:38.36\00:11:44.27
Listen carefully.
00:11:44.30\00:11:47.30
You may not understand
or get all the history,
00:11:47.34\00:11:50.87
but you will get this.
00:11:50.91\00:11:52.81
God is in the
cleaning up business,
00:11:52.84\00:11:55.64
He's in the
making it right business,
00:11:55.68\00:11:58.41
He's in the salvation business,
00:11:58.45\00:12:01.08
He's in the turning the
light on again business.
00:12:01.12\00:12:05.49
Here is an aside,
00:12:05.52\00:12:08.56
a parenthesis.
00:12:08.59\00:12:13.50
Some personal stories
00:12:13.53\00:12:14.86
because what God
does on a worldwide scale
00:12:14.90\00:12:17.13
for the church, He
also does for individuals.
00:12:17.17\00:12:20.74
There was an Englishman
by the name of John Newton,
00:12:20.77\00:12:25.87
he came from a Christian
home, but he sold it all.
00:12:25.91\00:12:32.05
Became the
captain of a slave ship.
00:12:32.08\00:12:35.08
In fact, he
became a slave himself
00:12:35.12\00:12:39.62
to slaves in Africa,
00:12:39.65\00:12:43.32
who was
supplying him with slaves.
00:12:43.36\00:12:47.93
His father arranged
for the British government
00:12:47.96\00:12:50.87
to send down a man of war,
00:12:50.90\00:12:52.93
they arrested him,
00:12:52.97\00:12:54.57
he came back a
lost soul to England,
00:12:54.60\00:12:57.47
and he heard a
man preach with fire.
00:12:57.51\00:13:02.18
He heard the
Wesley's, John, and Charles,
00:13:06.01\00:13:08.45
he was led to Christ.
00:13:08.48\00:13:11.52
The light came on.
00:13:11.55\00:13:13.99
God cleaned him up.
00:13:14.02\00:13:15.56
He cleans up people,
even cleans up dirty churches,
00:13:15.59\00:13:19.83
He cleans up people.
00:13:19.86\00:13:21.90
He gave him beauty for
ashes, he was restored cleansed,
00:13:21.93\00:13:26.13
he became a Church
of England minister.
00:13:26.17\00:13:28.67
He wrote these
words, John Newton.
00:13:28.70\00:13:32.74
"Amazing grace!
00:13:32.77\00:13:34.11
How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
00:13:34.14\00:13:37.45
I once was lost,
but now am found.
00:13:37.48\00:13:39.45
Was blind, but now I see.
00:13:39.48\00:13:41.98
'Twas grace that
taught my heart to fear,
00:13:42.02\00:13:44.35
and grace my fears relieved.
00:13:44.39\00:13:46.59
How precious did
that grace appear
00:13:46.62\00:13:48.79
the hour I first believed.
00:13:48.82\00:13:51.49
Through many dangers, toils,
and snares I have already come.
00:13:51.53\00:13:55.90
'Tis grace that
brought me safe thus far,
00:13:55.93\00:13:58.90
and grace will lead me home."
00:13:58.93\00:14:01.47
That's what God does.
00:14:01.50\00:14:04.01
God saves people,
00:14:04.04\00:14:07.28
if they will open
their hearts to Him,
00:14:07.31\00:14:09.11
and not harden their hearts.
00:14:09.14\00:14:12.08
God can't save a hard
heart, whether it's Protestant,
00:14:12.11\00:14:16.08
Jewish, Catholic, or atheistic.
00:14:16.12\00:14:18.85
And there was a man
by the name of Peter,
00:14:18.89\00:14:21.36
he was a follower of Jesus.
00:14:21.39\00:14:23.63
Peter messed up really bad,
00:14:23.66\00:14:25.89
he cursed, and he
denied the Lord of glory
00:14:25.93\00:14:28.76
when Jesus needed a
friend, he wasn't there.
00:14:28.80\00:14:33.44
The sun went down for Peter,
00:14:33.47\00:14:35.47
he had his own
private dark ages,
00:14:35.50\00:14:37.47
he had devastation.
00:14:37.51\00:14:39.54
I want you to read Mark 16:5-7.
00:14:39.57\00:14:42.24
Great text.
00:14:42.28\00:14:44.61
"Entering the tomb,
they saw a young man
00:14:44.65\00:14:46.72
clothed in a long white
robe sitting on the right side.
00:14:46.75\00:14:51.09
They were alarmed.
00:14:51.12\00:14:52.45
But he said to
them, 'Do not be alarmed.
00:14:52.49\00:14:56.19
You seek Jesus of
Nazareth, who was crucified.
00:14:56.22\00:14:58.86
He is risen! He is not here.
00:14:58.89\00:15:01.06
See the place
where they laid Him.
00:15:01.10\00:15:03.30
But go tell his
disciples and Peter,
00:15:03.33\00:15:09.27
tell Peter that He is
going before you into Galilee
00:15:09.30\00:15:13.54
there you will see
Him, as He said to you.'"
00:15:13.58\00:15:17.98
When Peter messed up,
Jesus didn't mess up on Peter.
00:15:18.01\00:15:24.12
He said, the angel said...
00:15:24.15\00:15:26.15
Jesus had told the angel,
00:15:26.19\00:15:28.02
tell the disciples I want to sit
00:15:28.06\00:15:29.42
but say Peter.
00:15:29.46\00:15:33.46
Because God is the
God of the first chance,
00:15:33.50\00:15:36.16
the second chance,
and the third chance
00:15:36.20\00:15:38.60
but don't mess around.
00:15:38.63\00:15:41.67
Jesus restored Peter,
he became not the pope.
00:15:41.70\00:15:46.07
There's no
evidence at all in history
00:15:46.11\00:15:48.18
for Peter becoming the pope.
00:15:48.21\00:15:50.75
That is a church tradition.
00:15:50.78\00:15:52.41
It is fake news.
00:15:52.45\00:15:55.35
It is not the truth.
00:15:55.38\00:15:57.59
Peter was not the pope,
00:15:57.62\00:16:00.29
but he became one
of the greatest leaders
00:16:00.32\00:16:02.02
in the church.
00:16:02.06\00:16:03.83
So God is in the
restoration business.
00:16:03.86\00:16:05.96
Now come back
here to Daniel 8:13-14.
00:16:05.99\00:16:10.93
"Then I heard a
holy one speaking,
00:16:10.97\00:16:12.63
and another holy one
said to that certain one
00:16:12.67\00:16:14.60
who was speaking, 'How
long will be the vision,
00:16:14.64\00:16:17.67
concerning the daily sacrifice,
00:16:17.71\00:16:19.44
the transgression of desolation,
00:16:19.47\00:16:21.41
the giving of both the sanctuary
00:16:21.44\00:16:23.41
and the host to be
trampled underfoot?'"
00:16:23.45\00:16:25.05
How long until
God does something.
00:16:25.08\00:16:27.78
"And he said to
me, 'For 2,300 days
00:16:27.82\00:16:31.45
then the
sanctuary will be cleansed."
00:16:31.49\00:16:34.02
And then verses 15 down to 17.
00:16:34.06\00:16:37.76
"Then it happened, when I,
Daniel, had seen the vision
00:16:37.79\00:16:40.20
and was seeking the meaning,
00:16:40.23\00:16:41.56
that suddenly
there stood before me one
00:16:41.60\00:16:43.33
having the appearance of a man.
00:16:43.37\00:16:45.30
And I heard a man's voice
between the banks of the Ulai,
00:16:45.33\00:16:48.20
who called, and said, 'Gabriel,
00:16:48.24\00:16:49.57
make this man
understand the vision.'
00:16:49.60\00:16:51.44
So he came near where I stood,
00:16:51.47\00:16:53.31
and when he came I was
afraid and fell on my face,
00:16:53.34\00:16:56.04
and he said to me,
'Understand, son of man,
00:16:56.08\00:16:58.88
that the vision refers
to the time of the end.'"
00:16:58.91\00:17:03.15
This is a promise that
God will restore His truth,
00:17:03.18\00:17:07.59
and restore His
church at the time of the end
00:17:07.62\00:17:12.83
that He will arise in
judgment and make wrong right.
00:17:12.86\00:17:17.37
Look at verses 18 to 20.
00:17:17.40\00:17:21.34
"Now as he was speaking with me,
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.17
I was in a deep sleep
with my face to the ground,
00:17:23.20\00:17:25.64
but he touched me,
and stood me upright.
00:17:25.67\00:17:27.51
And he said, 'Look, I
am making known to you
00:17:27.54\00:17:29.64
what will happen in the
later time of the indignation,
00:17:29.68\00:17:32.58
for at the appointed
time the end shall be.
00:17:32.61\00:17:35.58
The ram which you
saw, having the two horns,
00:17:35.62\00:17:38.22
they are the kings
of Media and Persia."
00:17:38.25\00:17:41.89
' "And the male goat
is the king of Greece.
00:17:41.92\00:17:45.26
The large horn that
is between his eyes,
00:17:45.29\00:17:48.00
its eyes is the first king."
00:17:48.03\00:17:50.30
Now we're talking
here, we're going back.
00:17:50.33\00:17:52.27
The angel Gabriel is
telling us the truth.
00:17:52.30\00:17:54.87
Now we're
talking about Alexander.
00:17:54.90\00:17:57.21
And then you come to
23 to 25, or verse 22.
00:17:57.24\00:18:02.58
"As for the broken horn
00:18:02.61\00:18:05.21
and the four that
stood up in this place,
00:18:05.25\00:18:07.42
four kingdoms shall
arise out of that nation,
00:18:07.45\00:18:10.52
but not in his power."
00:18:10.55\00:18:12.72
And then you
come, verses 23 to 25.
00:18:12.75\00:18:16.26
"And in the latter
time of their kingdom,
00:18:16.29\00:18:18.73
when the transgressors
have reached their fullness,
00:18:18.76\00:18:21.36
a king shall arise.
00:18:21.40\00:18:23.16
Having fierce features,
00:18:23.20\00:18:25.60
who understands
sinister schemes,
00:18:25.63\00:18:28.07
his power shall be mighty,
but not by his own power.
00:18:28.10\00:18:31.31
He shall destroy fearfully,
he shall prosper and thrive,
00:18:31.34\00:18:36.61
he shall destroy the mighty,
and also and the holy people.
00:18:36.64\00:18:41.18
Through his cunning
he shall cause deceit
00:18:41.22\00:18:43.28
to prosper under his rule.
00:18:43.32\00:18:45.62
And he shall exalt
himself in his heart.
00:18:45.65\00:18:48.49
He shall destroy
many in their prosperity.
00:18:48.52\00:18:51.69
He shall even rise
against the Prince of princes.
00:18:51.73\00:18:57.63
But he shall be
broken without hand."
00:18:57.67\00:19:00.64
Now listen.
00:19:00.67\00:19:02.80
On the screen.
00:19:02.84\00:19:04.24
Now let me read
you another text.
00:19:04.27\00:19:05.61
Look at verse 26,
00:19:05.64\00:19:09.24
"And the vision of the
evenings and the morning
00:19:09.28\00:19:11.38
which was told is true.
00:19:11.41\00:19:14.12
Therefore seal up the vision,
00:19:14.15\00:19:15.78
for it refers many
days in the future."
00:19:15.82\00:19:19.79
Here is a summary on the screen.
00:19:19.82\00:19:22.59
Have a look at this.
00:19:22.62\00:19:23.96
We're going to put it up.
00:19:23.99\00:19:25.33
Here it is.
00:19:25.36\00:19:26.70
We've got the Ram, Medo-Persia,
we've got the goat, Greece,
00:19:26.73\00:19:29.30
we got the great
horn, Alexander the Great,
00:19:29.33\00:19:32.27
and then we have the little horn
00:19:32.30\00:19:34.30
that is Rome in both its phases,
00:19:34.34\00:19:38.41
pagan and papal.
00:19:38.44\00:19:40.01
Then we have the
cleansing, the restoration.
00:19:40.04\00:19:43.28
The cleansing of the
sanctuary, the restoration,
00:19:43.31\00:19:46.05
and the judgment.
00:19:46.08\00:19:48.92
It says that God is going
00:19:48.95\00:19:53.56
to make wrong right.
00:19:53.59\00:19:57.43
Let me tell you.
00:19:57.46\00:19:58.96
I got to go fast.
00:19:58.99\00:20:00.56
As God has been restoring
His truths to the world
00:20:00.60\00:20:03.87
and giving beauty for ashes.
00:20:03.90\00:20:07.60
Five hundred
years ago, my friend,
00:20:07.64\00:20:10.01
listen 1517,
00:20:10.04\00:20:15.28
an earnest
Roman Catholic priest,
00:20:15.31\00:20:20.18
one of God's great
saints, the tide of it all.
00:20:20.22\00:20:25.55
And he nailed up 99 thesis
00:20:25.59\00:20:28.79
to the door of the
church in Wittenberg.
00:20:28.82\00:20:32.59
He started the
Reformation, he started it,
00:20:32.63\00:20:37.17
but he didn't finish it.
00:20:37.20\00:20:39.30
What did he teach?
00:20:39.33\00:20:41.10
Sola Christus, that's
what I teach, only Christ.
00:20:41.14\00:20:44.37
Sola scriptura, only scripture,
no high priest but Christ,
00:20:44.41\00:20:49.41
no holy book but the Bible.
00:20:49.44\00:20:54.45
And, in spite of
intense opposition, persecution,
00:20:54.48\00:20:57.49
the moment grew
and it flourished,
00:20:57.52\00:21:01.62
and it spread,
started in Germany,
00:21:01.66\00:21:07.06
Holland, Scandinavia.
00:21:07.10\00:21:09.13
Wherever it went, the
people were lifted up.
00:21:09.16\00:21:13.47
It brought liberty,
hope, life, prosperity.
00:21:13.50\00:21:18.31
The Spanish Armada
came against little Britain
00:21:18.34\00:21:23.51
in the bosom of
those Spanish ships
00:21:23.55\00:21:26.08
were the
instruments of the inquisition,
00:21:26.11\00:21:30.85
but God sent a
storm and destroyed them.
00:21:30.89\00:21:36.52
It was the work
of God and read it.
00:21:36.56\00:21:42.43
The Reformation came to
America with the pilgrims.
00:21:42.46\00:21:45.93
They brought this
book, not this identical one.
00:21:45.97\00:21:49.90
But here is a copy
of the Geneva Bible
00:21:49.94\00:21:53.48
that teaches the same things
00:21:53.51\00:21:55.64
that I've been
teaching here today.
00:21:55.68\00:21:59.25
This was the foundation
00:21:59.28\00:22:01.82
of America.
00:22:01.85\00:22:07.12
The secret of America's success
00:22:07.16\00:22:11.16
"Liberty," which you
don't get from the church,
00:22:11.19\00:22:16.80
you get it from
God, from Christ.
00:22:16.83\00:22:20.97
There is something I'm
going to show you here.
00:22:21.00\00:22:22.57
We're riding a
wave, riding a wave.
00:22:22.60\00:22:27.18
The wave started off big
00:22:27.21\00:22:28.68
but the wave has
been getting smaller,
00:22:28.71\00:22:30.61
and smaller, and
smaller, and smaller.
00:22:30.65\00:22:32.55
We're down here today.
00:22:32.58\00:22:36.05
Some would say, "It's finished."
00:22:36.08\00:22:40.12
The Bible prophecy says,
00:22:40.16\00:22:42.12
"That the greatest
days are still to come."
00:22:42.16\00:22:47.60
Now I'm going
to give you a fact,
00:22:47.63\00:22:49.46
gonna find this
hard to take some of you.
00:22:49.50\00:22:52.23
You can argue with me, you say,
00:22:52.27\00:22:53.60
"I don't like
what you're saying."
00:22:53.64\00:22:55.70
But you can't
fight with the truth.
00:22:55.74\00:22:59.97
Got on my computer this week
00:23:00.01\00:23:01.38
and I looked up
the corruption index.
00:23:01.41\00:23:04.15
I wanted to find out
00:23:04.18\00:23:06.25
the best countries in the world,
00:23:06.28\00:23:08.35
the most honest countries.
00:23:08.38\00:23:10.25
Why?
00:23:10.29\00:23:12.82
I discovered the best countries
as far as honesty, freedom,
00:23:12.85\00:23:17.76
prosperity are
concerned are the countries
00:23:17.79\00:23:22.30
that embraced the
truths of the Bible
00:23:22.33\00:23:24.97
and embraced the faith of Luther
00:23:25.00\00:23:27.17
and the Pilgrim Fathers,
they became 10 times better.
00:23:27.20\00:23:33.78
I want you to look at this.
00:23:33.81\00:23:35.14
You see the dark countries
that's where they rejected it.
00:23:35.18\00:23:39.61
Red is bad, black is even worse,
00:23:39.65\00:23:42.92
the green countries accepted
00:23:42.95\00:23:45.29
the truths of the Reformation.
00:23:45.32\00:23:50.13
The atheist countries,
the communist countries, red,
00:23:50.16\00:23:54.20
and black, and darkness.
00:23:54.23\00:23:57.03
But there you've got,
00:23:57.07\00:23:59.40
the green
countries are the countries
00:23:59.43\00:24:02.57
that became the
leaders of the world.
00:24:02.60\00:24:06.37
You say, "I can't believe it.
00:24:06.41\00:24:08.31
I can't believe it."
00:24:08.34\00:24:09.68
Why was America blessed?
00:24:09.71\00:24:12.25
Did America get lucky?
00:24:12.28\00:24:15.52
No.
00:24:15.55\00:24:19.25
America accepted
the truths of the Bible.
00:24:19.29\00:24:23.63
Good people in every country.
00:24:27.56\00:24:30.13
That's why they're all
trying to get to America.
00:24:30.17\00:24:33.60
Those who follow
Christ and His Word
00:24:33.64\00:24:36.27
are 10 times better.
00:24:36.30\00:24:40.04
The Reformation is not finished.
00:24:40.08\00:24:43.98
God is restoring, and cleansing,
00:24:44.01\00:24:46.31
and preparing a people.
00:24:46.35\00:24:49.42
Look at the last
verse, Daniel 8:27,
00:24:49.45\00:24:54.96
"And I Daniel
fainted, I was sick for days,
00:24:54.99\00:24:59.09
afterward I arose and
went about the king's business.
00:24:59.13\00:25:01.90
I was astonished by the vision."
00:25:01.93\00:25:03.87
No one
understood it in those days.
00:25:03.90\00:25:06.97
We understand it
now. We understand it now.
00:25:07.00\00:25:11.64
History has shown us the truth.
00:25:11.67\00:25:14.61
You are
privileged to hear the truth.
00:25:14.64\00:25:17.88
The greatest
battle that will go in,
00:25:17.91\00:25:20.05
go on in your heart is
not a battle against truth,
00:25:20.08\00:25:24.49
it is a battle for superstition.
00:25:24.52\00:25:27.49
But Christ will save you.
00:25:30.69\00:25:35.20
There was a man
in the Old Testament,
00:25:35.23\00:25:36.73
he said, when he considered
the great issues of his time,
00:25:36.77\00:25:43.51
he said, Joshua said,
00:25:43.54\00:25:45.51
"As for me and my
house, we will serve the Lord."
00:25:45.54\00:25:50.71
Now I'm going to
tell you something.
00:25:50.75\00:25:52.21
This is not fake news.
00:25:52.25\00:25:53.58
This is just the truth.
00:25:53.62\00:25:55.15
He who has
ears, let him hear it,
00:25:55.18\00:25:57.39
the people who follow the truth,
00:25:57.42\00:26:01.82
the gospel, and
the commandments of God
00:26:01.86\00:26:05.09
are 10 times better,
so are their countries.
00:26:05.13\00:26:09.13
And those people eventually
will be promoted to glory
00:26:09.16\00:26:16.14
and the audience
said, "Amen and amen."
00:26:16.17\00:26:20.88
Today we're starting
the Washington DC Project.
00:26:24.11\00:26:28.88
We are going by the grace of God
00:26:28.92\00:26:31.45
to buy time on
Washington television.
00:26:31.49\00:26:35.16
And we're going to
have messages for our people
00:26:35.19\00:26:38.03
in the White House
and on Capitol Hill.
00:26:38.06\00:26:42.26
There's a reason
we're doing this.
00:26:42.30\00:26:44.53
And Time Magazine
has been the reason
00:26:44.57\00:26:47.37
that we thought of doing this.
00:26:47.40\00:26:49.44
Notice this Time Magazine,
00:26:49.47\00:26:52.07
it says, "Is Truth dead?"
00:26:52.11\00:26:57.11
Apparently, many people
in Washington would say,
00:26:57.15\00:26:59.85
"Yes, truth is dead."
00:26:59.88\00:27:02.48
And we can say anything we
like because truth is dead.
00:27:02.52\00:27:08.42
That's why we
have so much fake news
00:27:08.46\00:27:12.09
today in Washington.
00:27:12.13\00:27:14.56
We're going to be
talking truth to power.
00:27:14.60\00:27:17.53
We're going to be
talking about the great truths
00:27:17.57\00:27:19.93
that founded this great country.
00:27:19.97\00:27:22.17
We're going to be talking about
00:27:22.20\00:27:23.54
the great undergirding realities
00:27:23.57\00:27:27.41
that were the foundation stones
of the great American Republic.
00:27:27.44\00:27:32.61
And we want you to
support this project.
00:27:32.65\00:27:34.98
If you believe that
we should bring a message
00:27:35.02\00:27:37.12
to the leadership in Washington,
00:27:37.15\00:27:39.45
please support us.
00:27:39.49\00:27:41.12
We have no money to
do this at this moment.
00:27:41.16\00:27:44.46
We're asking you
to send your offerings
00:27:44.49\00:27:47.86
and your money to
the Washington Project.
