00:02:42.36\00:02:44.69 I just don't understand what's going on." 00:02:44.73\00:02:47.26 After you hear this, you will understand, 00:02:47.30\00:02:51.23 you'll have an inside look, you'll be smart. 00:02:51.27\00:02:53.67 Listen to this. 00:02:53.70\00:02:56.27 I'm going to talk now about three great philosophers 00:02:56.30\00:03:00.01 and teachers, whose ideas have permeated 00:03:00.04\00:03:04.45 the great universities in America, Europe, 00:03:04.48\00:03:08.68 Australia, Russia, 00:03:08.72\00:03:12.62 the great universities that have indoctrinated 00:03:12.65\00:03:15.92 millions of y'all young people, 00:03:15.96\00:03:20.26 tens of millions, hundreds of millions 00:03:20.30\00:03:21.96 around the world. 00:03:22.00\00:03:23.33 These ideas have produced a state of lawlessness, 00:03:23.37\00:03:28.00 hopelessness, or anti-Christian, 00:03:28.04\00:03:32.11 and also anti-American. 00:03:32.14\00:03:36.44 Do you wonder what's going on? 00:03:36.48\00:03:37.95 You just listen, you'll find out. 00:03:37.98\00:03:41.15 This is very controversial. 00:03:41.18\00:03:42.78 That is the truth. 00:03:42.82\00:03:44.89 These philosophies are responsible 00:03:44.92\00:03:47.32 for the greatest voice 00:03:47.36\00:03:49.46 in the history of the human race 00:03:49.49\00:03:54.06 and the vast number of the suicides 00:03:54.10\00:03:57.30 in the United States of America. 00:03:57.33\00:04:00.90 Name them, you say. 00:04:00.94\00:04:02.47 Well, here it goes. 00:04:02.50\00:04:05.51 Get ready to take it. 00:04:05.54\00:04:06.91 Charles Darwin, brilliant Englishman, 00:04:06.94\00:04:11.45 a gentleman. 00:04:11.48\00:04:12.81 He once was a Christian gentleman. 00:04:12.85\00:04:15.82 He wanted to become a pastor, 00:04:15.85\00:04:18.65 he wanted to become a Church of England minister, 00:04:18.69\00:04:23.39 but what people won't tell you today is this, 00:04:23.43\00:04:26.19 he had a beautiful daughter, he had a beautiful family. 00:04:26.23\00:04:29.40 And his daughter got sick. 00:04:29.43\00:04:31.90 And he prayed to God and he said, 00:04:31.93\00:04:33.70 "Please, God, save my daughter. 00:04:33.74\00:04:36.24 Don't let her die." 00:04:36.27\00:04:37.61 And when she died he said, "And there can't be any God." 00:04:37.64\00:04:43.58 So Darwinism came out of the despair of a man 00:04:43.61\00:04:47.52 whose prayers were not answered. 00:04:47.55\00:04:50.35 I do not believe Darwinism is scientific. 00:04:50.39\00:04:57.33 Darwinism teaches us that man is the product of... 00:04:57.36\00:05:01.33 Think this through time, matter, plus chance. 00:05:01.36\00:05:06.50 That means that if you leave hydrogen gas alone by itself 00:05:06.53\00:05:11.04 long enough, it will become men and women singing and dancing. 00:05:11.07\00:05:15.91 No, you laugh, of course you do. 00:05:15.94\00:05:17.65 Time plus matter plus chance, we must differentiate. 00:05:17.68\00:05:22.18 Now listen to me, my friends, I tell you, don't mess this up. 00:05:22.22\00:05:26.76 We need to make a difference between 00:05:26.79\00:05:28.89 micro and macro evolution. 00:05:28.92\00:05:32.89 All educated people including this guy, 00:05:32.93\00:05:37.63 all educated people believe in microevolution, 00:05:37.67\00:05:41.20 not all believe in macroevolution 00:05:41.24\00:05:43.87 that teaches that man came from a simple cell 00:05:43.91\00:05:48.08 in the ocean. 00:05:48.11\00:05:50.38 Now over there, you've got microevolution, 00:05:50.41\00:05:54.75 it is the tremendous change within the species. 00:05:54.78\00:06:00.29 Viruses, mutate, and evolution to say, 00:06:00.32\00:06:03.43 this is the proof of Darwinism, neo-Darwinism. 00:06:03.46\00:06:06.59 This is the proof of evolution. 00:06:06.63\00:06:08.86 It is the proof of microevolution. 00:06:08.90\00:06:13.30 But macroevolution, and young people, 00:06:13.34\00:06:15.84 you need to know this and your parents do too. 00:06:15.87\00:06:18.24 Macroevolution is that man has come down 00:06:18.27\00:06:22.84 through all of these animals 00:06:22.88\00:06:25.35 and finally goes back to a single cell 00:06:25.38\00:06:29.55 in a hot primordial sea. 00:06:29.58\00:06:34.36 And that is Darwinism. 00:06:34.39\00:06:35.96 Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees, 00:06:40.03\00:06:42.73 so let me just put a bit of wood up. 00:06:42.76\00:06:46.67 This is what it teaches. 00:06:46.70\00:06:48.40 Nothing produced everything, 00:06:48.44\00:06:52.51 nonlife produced life, 00:06:52.54\00:06:55.68 randomness produced fine-tuning, 00:06:55.71\00:06:59.41 the fine tuning in the universe came from randomness. 00:06:59.45\00:07:03.22 Chaos produced information, 00:07:03.25\00:07:06.35 unconsciousness produced consciousness, 00:07:06.39\00:07:09.82 non-reason produced the reason. 00:07:09.86\00:07:14.06 I say to you not to offend you, but I say to the scientists 00:07:14.10\00:07:18.63 who are watching that it's simply 00:07:18.67\00:07:21.80 the new insanity, 00:07:21.84\00:07:26.24 you see? 00:07:26.27\00:07:27.91 As the great professor John, great mathematician 00:07:27.94\00:07:33.55 from Oxford said to Professor Dawkins 00:07:33.58\00:07:36.99 that he's wrong. 00:07:37.02\00:07:38.45 You start with chaos, non-reason. 00:07:38.49\00:07:41.12 The Bible says, 00:07:41.16\00:07:42.49 "In the beginning was the Word." 00:07:42.52\00:07:45.19 You see? 00:07:45.23\00:07:46.56 We go back to a great and a mighty mind. 00:07:46.59\00:07:51.83 Atheistic evolution is the new insanity 00:07:51.87\00:07:55.04 that is destroying the world. 00:07:55.07\00:07:58.54 The survival of the fittest, get rid of that which is weak, 00:07:58.57\00:08:03.88 let nature take its course. 00:08:03.91\00:08:08.68 And that's taught in every university. 00:08:08.72\00:08:10.85 Young people are brainwashed with this 00:08:10.89\00:08:13.32 nonscientific philosophy that came from a man 00:08:13.36\00:08:17.03 who couldn't deal with the death of his daughter. 00:08:17.06\00:08:21.23 Number two, perhaps the philosopher 00:08:21.26\00:08:23.93 who has influenced America 00:08:23.97\00:08:25.50 more than any other person in the universities 00:08:25.53\00:08:28.60 is Frederick Nietzsche. 00:08:28.64\00:08:31.27 Now Christians on the whole know nothing 00:08:31.31\00:08:33.54 about these things. 00:08:33.58\00:08:35.54 And that is why they have an approach towards evangelism 00:08:35.58\00:08:39.98 which is generally completely wrong. 00:08:40.02\00:08:43.69 You're answering the wrong questions. 00:08:43.72\00:08:45.29 Frederick Nietzsche, the German philosopher 00:08:45.32\00:08:48.49 who was Hitler's inspiration. 00:08:48.52\00:08:50.59 He is the most influential philosopher 00:08:50.63\00:08:53.40 in the great universities in America 00:08:53.43\00:08:56.30 and around the world. 00:08:56.33\00:08:58.93 He taught God is dead. 00:08:58.97\00:09:01.50 Don't misunderstand this. 00:09:01.54\00:09:03.91 I think he was meaning that God is an idea is dead, 00:09:03.94\00:09:08.54 and that is true as far as most people are concerned. 00:09:08.58\00:09:12.21 He taught might is right. 00:09:12.25\00:09:14.85 Christianity is the greatest misfortune of humanity. 00:09:14.88\00:09:21.26 Pity thwarts the law of natural selection. 00:09:21.29\00:09:25.46 So he said Christianity was the worst thing 00:09:25.49\00:09:29.23 the world had ever seen 00:09:29.26\00:09:30.73 because it keeps alive that which should die. 00:09:30.77\00:09:35.47 That's why Hitler embraced him 00:09:35.50\00:09:37.94 and slept with a copy of The Antichrist, 00:09:37.97\00:09:40.51 his book under his pillow. 00:09:40.54\00:09:44.18 He was a passionate hater of Jesus and Christianity 00:09:44.21\00:09:48.72 because Christianity defends the poor and the weak, 00:09:48.75\00:09:51.65 and we're proud of it. 00:09:51.69\00:09:54.09 His antichrist teachings have destroyed 00:09:54.12\00:09:56.83 the souls of millions. 00:09:56.86\00:09:59.36 This is why most Christians cannot talk to young people 00:09:59.39\00:10:04.60 that have come out of universities 00:10:04.63\00:10:08.30 on two different planets. 00:10:08.34\00:10:11.74 And the third great philosopher was Karl Marx. 00:10:11.77\00:10:15.64 The German Jew who gave up facing God invented communism 00:10:15.68\00:10:21.78 and became the rock 00:10:21.82\00:10:23.18 on which the Soviet Union was built. 00:10:23.22\00:10:26.86 Now I know a lot about it, 00:10:26.89\00:10:28.99 I've been there, I've seen things. 00:10:29.02\00:10:31.56 Most people today are oblivious to the facts of history 00:10:31.59\00:10:35.60 because I spend seven hours a day 00:10:35.63\00:10:37.43 watching garbage on television. 00:10:37.47\00:10:40.20 Garbage in, garbage out, 00:10:40.24\00:10:42.27 that's why you can't have an intelligent conversation 00:10:42.30\00:10:44.71 with most people. 00:10:44.74\00:10:47.24 And that's why they're so easily deceived. 00:10:47.28\00:10:52.48 In result of communism was hopelessness, 00:10:52.51\00:10:56.48 despair, poverty, the deaths of millions. 00:10:56.52\00:11:00.66 His teachings are anti-Christian 00:11:00.69\00:11:03.49 and anti-American. 00:11:03.53\00:11:05.13 These three philosophers Darwin, Nietzsche, Marx 00:11:05.16\00:11:09.26 got rid of God and the law. 00:11:09.30\00:11:11.80 Their ideas have permeated our educational system, 00:11:11.83\00:11:17.01 which is now one of the worst in the industrialized world. 00:11:17.04\00:11:20.88 And that's not true? 00:11:24.15\00:11:25.48 Yes, it is. Just go and Google. 00:11:25.51\00:11:28.58 Why are there so many suicides? 00:11:28.62\00:11:31.05 A million Americans try to suicide every year, 00:11:31.09\00:11:36.16 45,000 succeed. 00:11:36.19\00:11:37.69 Why? 00:11:37.73\00:11:39.06 Because the death of hope leads to the hope for death, 00:11:39.09\00:11:42.13 can't you see it? 00:11:42.16\00:11:44.17 Why is drug addiction out of control in America? 00:11:44.20\00:11:48.44 Why are politics not the answer? 00:11:48.47\00:11:53.54 Because as I say, in Australia, 00:11:53.58\00:11:54.94 they're barking up the wrong gum tree, 00:11:54.98\00:11:57.51 looking in the wrong place 00:11:57.55\00:11:59.91 because people are filled with hopelessness and despair. 00:11:59.95\00:12:03.02 And death of God 00:12:03.05\00:12:04.52 always leads to the death of man. 00:12:04.55\00:12:07.66 Now we have the culture wars and all this stuff 00:12:07.69\00:12:10.69 is poisoning the minds of the American people 00:12:10.73\00:12:15.66 who spend seven hours or something a day 00:12:15.70\00:12:19.03 watching the dunk. 00:12:19.07\00:12:21.87 And today, a wave of hatred, anarchy, and lawlessness 00:12:21.90\00:12:25.54 is sweeping America. 00:12:25.57\00:12:27.51 There is a solution, it's Christ, 00:12:27.54\00:12:30.95 Christ and the word. 00:12:30.98\00:12:32.75 And we had a man watching one our television programs, 00:12:32.78\00:12:35.98 his name was V. 00:12:36.02\00:12:38.32 He was an American communist, an atheist. 00:12:38.35\00:12:44.33 You heard me interviewing my friend Hugh Ross. 00:12:44.36\00:12:47.63 We were talking about rational reasons to believe. 00:12:47.66\00:12:52.73 He gave his life to Christ. 00:12:52.77\00:12:55.40 We baptized him. 00:12:55.44\00:12:58.07 Today, he is a strong Christian. 00:12:58.11\00:13:00.04 He says, "The best thing I'd ever discovered 00:13:00.08\00:13:03.45 was the truth of Christ in the Bible." 00:13:03.48\00:13:06.31 But we talk to him in language that he could understand. 00:13:06.35\00:13:12.15 Sign number five, God's truth to the world. 00:13:12.19\00:13:16.36 Matthew 24:10-14, please turn to it. 00:13:16.39\00:13:19.56 Matthew 24. 00:13:19.59\00:13:21.93 "And then many will be offended, 00:13:21.96\00:13:23.47 will betray one another, and will hate one another." 00:13:23.50\00:13:25.97 That's happening today. 00:13:26.00\00:13:27.34 "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many." 00:13:27.37\00:13:30.17 That's happening today. 00:13:30.21\00:13:31.67 "And because lawlessness will abound, 00:13:31.71\00:13:34.04 the love of many or most will grow cold. 00:13:34.08\00:13:37.31 But he who endures to the end shall be saved." 00:13:37.35\00:13:40.38 You got us, hang in there. 00:13:40.42\00:13:42.88 "And this gospel of the kingdom 00:13:42.92\00:13:46.02 will be preached in all the world 00:13:46.05\00:13:47.92 as a witness to all the nations, 00:13:47.96\00:13:51.49 and then the end will come." 00:13:51.53\00:13:53.29 And nothing can stop it. 00:13:53.33\00:13:55.46 And what is the gospel? 00:13:55.50\00:13:57.97 Well, it's not good advice. 00:13:58.00\00:13:59.33 It doesn't say do, do, do, do, do, cock-a-doodle-do. 00:13:59.37\00:14:04.47 The gospel is about God, it's good news. 00:14:04.51\00:14:08.11 The God made us. 00:14:08.14\00:14:11.51 I am a child of God. 00:14:11.55\00:14:14.45 God loves us. 00:14:14.48\00:14:16.48 You are important. 00:14:16.52\00:14:18.42 I've told millions of atheists 00:14:18.45\00:14:20.56 including the leaders of the KGB. 00:14:20.59\00:14:23.49 You are not an animal, you are not a machine, 00:14:23.53\00:14:26.59 you are a child of God, you see? 00:14:26.63\00:14:31.53 And God in Christ became a man 00:14:31.57\00:14:35.24 and died in our place for our sins. 00:14:35.27\00:14:38.97 The gospel is, my sins are forgiven 00:14:39.01\00:14:42.18 and I receive eternal life 00:14:42.21\00:14:44.31 when I repent of my sins, nasty word. 00:14:44.35\00:14:47.98 Some people say, "I hate that word repentance." 00:14:48.02\00:14:50.42 Of course, you do. 00:14:50.45\00:14:52.29 Because of pride and blindness and stupidity. 00:14:52.32\00:14:57.46 When I repent and accept Jesus Christ 00:14:57.49\00:15:00.63 as my Lord and my Savior, I am saved. 00:15:00.66\00:15:05.57 That's the good news. 00:15:05.60\00:15:07.44 The good news is Christ is coming again. 00:15:07.47\00:15:11.37 And this gospel fire cannot be extinguished. 00:15:11.41\00:15:15.78 It is spreading around the world. 00:15:15.81\00:15:20.38 This gospel fire is burning in China. 00:15:20.42\00:15:25.65 It is burning in Cuba. 00:15:25.69\00:15:31.19 It is burning in South America, 00:15:31.23\00:15:35.00 and in the United States 00:15:35.03\00:15:36.53 in spite of the unbelief 00:15:36.56\00:15:41.94 in the church. 00:15:41.97\00:15:45.21 In Africa, I've seen it in Africa. 00:15:45.24\00:15:48.28 I've seen it burning, 00:15:48.31\00:15:50.61 over there in Russia 00:15:50.65\00:15:52.61 just a few weeks running meetings, 00:15:52.65\00:15:56.89 and on television, Russia, Australia, Ukraine, 00:15:56.92\00:16:00.69 and the islands of the sea. 00:16:00.72\00:16:03.86 You can't put it out. 00:16:03.89\00:16:06.33 You can try to destroy it, you can try to get rid of God, 00:16:06.36\00:16:11.47 you can curse Him to his face, 00:16:11.50\00:16:14.74 try your hardest, 00:16:14.77\00:16:16.91 you cannot extinguish the mighty fire of God. 00:16:16.94\00:16:23.81 I have preached in the biggest auditorium 00:16:23.85\00:16:26.51 in Kiev where Khrushchev stood. 00:16:26.55\00:16:32.92 I stood at the same lectern where he said, 00:16:32.95\00:16:36.22 within a generation, 00:16:36.26\00:16:38.86 the name of Christ will be blotted 00:16:38.89\00:16:41.56 from the face of the earth 00:16:41.60\00:16:45.27 because we have Nietzsche and Marx 00:16:45.30\00:16:47.97 and all of these people, 00:16:48.00\00:16:49.34 he said, the name of Christ will be obliterated. 00:16:49.37\00:16:54.88 Well, I preached on that very spot 00:16:54.91\00:16:57.41 to a bigger crowd than he had. 00:16:57.45\00:16:59.65 I want you to know Khrushchev is gone. 00:16:59.68\00:17:04.55 Khrushchev is dead, 00:17:04.59\00:17:06.86 Khrushchev is kaput, but Christ lives forever. 00:17:06.89\00:17:10.79 Amen. You see? 00:17:10.83\00:17:13.70 So that's one of the greatest signs. 00:17:13.73\00:17:15.83 I've seen it. 00:17:15.86\00:17:17.20 I'm not an armchair theologian, I'm not a philosopher, 00:17:17.23\00:17:20.90 I'm not just a talker, I'm not just a do-gooder, 00:17:20.94\00:17:24.24 I have seen the glory of the Lord. 00:17:24.27\00:17:29.24 And the biggest tragedies is that 00:17:29.28\00:17:32.61 many of us are being brainwashed by the media... 00:17:32.65\00:17:37.69 and we're getting ready for the great deception. 00:17:41.62\00:17:44.36 Sign number six, the Great Tribulation 00:17:44.39\00:17:47.46 and we're gonna get to these balls of fire. 00:17:47.50\00:17:49.86 Matthew 24:15 and onwards. 00:17:49.90\00:17:52.23 "'Therefore 00:17:55.40\00:17:58.34 when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' 00:17:58.37\00:18:00.41 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, 00:18:00.44\00:18:03.24 standing in the holy place' whoever reads, 00:18:03.28\00:18:05.75 let him understand." 00:18:05.78\00:18:07.22 Have you ever read the Book of Daniel? 00:18:07.25\00:18:08.78 And tell, "Oh, you can't understand it." 00:18:08.82\00:18:11.15 That's because people have had their minds 00:18:11.19\00:18:13.66 destroyed by television. 00:18:13.69\00:18:17.99 "For then there will be great tribulation, 00:18:18.03\00:18:20.00 such as has not been 00:18:20.03\00:18:21.73 since the beginning of the world 00:18:21.76\00:18:23.26 until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 00:18:23.30\00:18:26.53 Unless those days were shortened, 00:18:26.57\00:18:29.17 no flesh would be saved, but for the elect's sake." 00:18:29.20\00:18:34.78 The elect's sake. 00:18:34.81\00:18:37.81 But I'm told the elector in heaven. 00:18:37.85\00:18:40.15 I'm told they've been rafted home to glory. 00:18:40.18\00:18:43.55 How far can you get from the Bible? 00:18:49.72\00:18:52.69 The elector rafted home to glory. 00:18:52.73\00:18:55.60 Hallelujah Jesus! 00:18:55.63\00:18:57.33 No. 00:18:57.37\00:18:58.83 The elector here on the earth 00:18:58.87\00:19:00.54 and, "for the elect's sake those days will be shortened," 00:19:00.57\00:19:04.71 as we're living here. 00:19:04.74\00:19:06.27 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days 00:19:06.31\00:19:09.21 the sun will be darkened, 00:19:09.24\00:19:10.85 and the moon will not give its light, 00:19:10.88\00:19:12.68 the stars will fall from the heavens, 00:19:12.71\00:19:15.02 and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 00:19:15.05\00:19:18.39 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, 00:19:18.42\00:19:21.96 and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, 00:19:21.99\00:19:25.69 and they will see this Son of Man 00:19:25.73\00:19:28.56 coming on the clouds of heaven 00:19:28.60\00:19:30.13 with power and great glory." 00:19:30.17\00:19:34.37 So this great sign is the great tribulation 00:19:34.40\00:19:40.91 that involves the whole world 00:19:40.94\00:19:44.18 and the elect. 00:19:44.21\00:19:48.05 Goodness me! 00:19:48.08\00:19:51.05 And part of the great tribulation, 00:19:51.09\00:19:53.86 dear hearts and gentle people, 00:19:53.89\00:19:56.86 will be balls of fire. 00:19:56.89\00:20:01.00 Would you notice Joel in the Bible? 00:20:04.33\00:20:07.34 Joel means, "Yahweh is God." 00:20:07.37\00:20:10.87 Joel 2:30 and 31, 00:20:10.91\00:20:16.85 "And I will show wonders in the heavens 00:20:16.88\00:20:20.05 and in the earth, 00:20:20.08\00:20:22.25 blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 00:20:22.28\00:20:28.86 The sun shall be turned into darkness, 00:20:28.89\00:20:31.36 and the moon into blood, 00:20:31.39\00:20:33.23 before the coming 00:20:33.26\00:20:34.60 of the great and awesome day of the Lord." 00:20:34.63\00:20:37.53 Here is tremendous evidence why you can believe in God. 00:20:37.57\00:20:44.31 God does not want us to have a blind faith. 00:20:44.34\00:20:48.74 People say, "Oh, I don't believe. 00:20:48.78\00:20:50.61 I just believe." 00:20:50.65\00:20:52.75 That's craziness. 00:20:52.78\00:20:54.62 I believe on the basis of evidence. 00:20:54.65\00:20:57.49 And thousands of years ago, 00:20:57.52\00:21:00.26 the prophets are in the heavens, 00:21:00.29\00:21:02.62 blood and fire and pillars. 00:21:02.66\00:21:08.40 A pillar, pillars of smoke. 00:21:08.43\00:21:14.84 The Bible predicted the very conditions 00:21:14.87\00:21:18.14 that we're seeing in the world today 00:21:18.17\00:21:21.41 because I want you to know this Christ is coming. 00:21:21.44\00:21:26.82 And are you ready, my friend?
