An economic
earthquake is coming,
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.26
and John Carter has
the facts to prove it.
00:00:03.30\00:00:06.17
Will America's deficit
00:00:06.20\00:00:07.80
bring about the collapse
of the present world order?
00:00:07.84\00:00:11.47
What happened in the
ill-fated Weimar Republic?
00:00:11.51\00:00:14.44
And how does that affect us?
00:00:14.48\00:00:16.61
Does Bible
prophecy reveal our future?
00:00:16.64\00:00:20.18
Now, here is John
Carter with the answers.
00:00:20.22\00:00:23.95
Today, we are talking
00:00:27.99\00:00:29.32
about the coming
economic earthquake.
00:00:29.36\00:00:32.69
This is part two of the series.
00:00:32.73\00:00:34.93
If you missed the first part,
then you need to write to us.
00:00:34.96\00:00:38.67
And also, we have
a broacher on this,
00:00:38.70\00:00:43.71
and you can write to us,
00:00:43.74\00:00:45.07
and you can get
some of these facts,
00:00:45.11\00:00:46.98
not all of them by any means.
00:00:47.01\00:00:48.84
But you can get
00:00:48.88\00:00:50.21
some of these
facts in this newsletter
00:00:50.25\00:00:52.81
that is called,
00:00:52.85\00:00:54.18
"The Coming
Economic Earthquake",
00:00:54.22\00:00:56.99
which is about
the tremendous deficit
00:00:57.02\00:01:00.56
in the United States
of America basically.
00:01:00.59\00:01:03.76
Now in the last program,
00:01:03.79\00:01:05.13
after talking about
00:01:05.16\00:01:06.49
the possible
collapse of the world economy,
00:01:06.53\00:01:10.60
we ask this potent
question, what shall we do?
00:01:10.63\00:01:16.00
And the first point
was, let us have faith in God
00:01:16.04\00:01:19.07
because if we have faith in God,
00:01:19.11\00:01:21.58
we really have
got nothing to fear,
00:01:21.61\00:01:24.15
and we gave you some text.
00:01:24.18\00:01:25.75
But we're going to
coming now to the second answer
00:01:25.78\00:01:28.52
to that question,
what shall we do in light
00:01:28.55\00:01:31.62
of these
tremendous developments?
00:01:31.65\00:01:34.26
And here it is, we
should join another party.
00:01:34.29\00:01:40.86
And I'm not
talking politics today
00:01:40.90\00:01:42.66
because we're not into politics.
00:01:42.70\00:01:44.20
We're not talking,
00:01:44.23\00:01:45.57
we're not saying
anything derogatory
00:01:45.60\00:01:47.97
of the Republican
Party or the Democratic Party
00:01:48.00\00:01:51.37
or any other party.
00:01:51.41\00:01:52.81
But I have a
suggestion to make to you,
00:01:52.84\00:01:55.04
if you want to survive,
00:01:55.08\00:01:56.98
you and I need to
join another party.
00:01:57.01\00:02:01.58
And the text is
Matthew 19:28, 29.
00:02:01.62\00:02:07.19
I'm going to take my
Bible and here it is.
00:02:07.22\00:02:10.63
Matthew 28, Matthew...
00:02:10.66\00:02:14.63
No, not, Matthew 19:28.
00:02:14.66\00:02:18.37
"So Jesus said to them,
'Assuredly, I say to you,
00:02:18.40\00:02:21.84
that in the regeneration,
00:02:21.87\00:02:23.20
when the Son of Man sits
on the throne of His glory,
00:02:23.24\00:02:26.27
you who have followed Me,'"
00:02:26.31\00:02:28.54
He's talking to His disciples,
00:02:28.58\00:02:30.18
"'will also sit
on twelve thrones,
00:02:30.21\00:02:32.35
judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
00:02:32.38\00:02:36.18
And everyone
00:02:36.22\00:02:37.55
who has left houses
or brothers or sisters
00:02:37.59\00:02:40.19
or father or mother or
wife or children or lands,
00:02:40.22\00:02:43.96
for My name's sake,
shall receive a hundredfold,
00:02:43.99\00:02:49.50
and inherit eternal life.'"
00:02:49.53\00:02:52.77
Now listen to this, my friend.
00:02:52.80\00:02:55.87
The Bible says, Jesus
says, when you put God first,
00:02:55.90\00:03:01.51
you're going to be
a 100 times better.
00:03:01.54\00:03:05.25
The Bible makes
the extraordinary claim
00:03:05.28\00:03:09.15
that even if
00:03:09.18\00:03:10.52
and when the
world economy collapses,
00:03:10.55\00:03:13.92
if you've joined the
party of the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:03:13.96\00:03:18.43
you're going to be safe,
00:03:18.46\00:03:20.40
and you are going to be secure.
00:03:20.43\00:03:25.30
Listen, with
God we shall prosper
00:03:25.33\00:03:29.20
even when the banks fail,
00:03:29.24\00:03:31.74
which they shall,
and when the dollar,
00:03:31.77\00:03:34.51
the mighty dollar
is worth half a cent.
00:03:34.54\00:03:37.85
Therefore, decide now to join
00:03:37.88\00:03:41.92
the party of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:03:41.95\00:03:44.95
And you will be safe and secure.
00:03:44.99\00:03:48.56
Number three, this is picking up
00:03:48.59\00:03:50.76
from where we left
off in the first segment.
00:03:50.79\00:03:53.90
Number three, get out of debt.
00:03:53.93\00:03:58.23
See, I can't get out of
debt, it's the American way.
00:03:58.27\00:04:02.27
I say on the authority of
scripture, get out of debt.
00:04:02.30\00:04:05.87
Look at Psalm 50:12.
00:04:05.91\00:04:11.05
God says, "If I were
hungry, I wouldn't tell you.
00:04:11.08\00:04:15.55
For the world is
Mine, and all its fullness."
00:04:15.58\00:04:18.42
This means God owns everything.
00:04:18.45\00:04:21.62
And if you belong to
God, you will never go hungry,
00:04:21.66\00:04:25.63
God will take care of you.
00:04:25.66\00:04:27.60
Then Haggai 2:8,
00:04:27.63\00:04:32.20
"'The silver is Mine,' God says.
00:04:32.23\00:04:34.40
'The gold is Mine,'
says the Lord of hosts.'"
00:04:34.44\00:04:37.67
This means God owns everything.
00:04:37.71\00:04:41.24
I don't need to be afraid
00:04:41.28\00:04:43.08
and have sleepless nights
thinking about the deficit.
00:04:43.11\00:04:47.55
Remember, my friend, in 2008
00:04:47.58\00:04:52.09
what the banks did to millions
of decent good Americans.
00:04:52.12\00:04:56.89
The banks got
millions of decent Americans
00:04:56.93\00:05:00.20
into home loans, and
when the banks failed,
00:05:00.23\00:05:05.27
you know what the banks did?
00:05:05.30\00:05:06.80
They threw the
people out on the streets.
00:05:06.84\00:05:09.34
You say, "No, no, no,
no." Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:05:09.37\00:05:13.44
The banks threw the
people out on the streets.
00:05:13.48\00:05:18.28
We should be slaved to no
one, including Bank of America,
00:05:18.31\00:05:23.18
City Bank, Bank of the West,
Wells Fargo etcetera, etcetera.
00:05:23.22\00:05:29.02
You see, I belong to God,
00:05:29.06\00:05:31.23
and God wants to
me to be free of debt.
00:05:31.26\00:05:33.90
Now come over here to the Book
00:05:33.93\00:05:35.26
of Deuteronomy 28:1.
00:05:35.30\00:05:40.97
"Now it shall come to pass,
00:05:41.00\00:05:42.70
if you diligently obey the
voice of the Lord your God,
00:05:42.74\00:05:46.21
to observe
carefully all His commandments
00:05:46.24\00:05:48.74
which I command you today,
00:05:48.78\00:05:51.81
that the Lord your
God will set you high
00:05:51.85\00:05:54.38
above all nations of the earth."
00:05:54.42\00:05:57.59
The Bible says,
"If you and I obey God,
00:05:57.62\00:06:00.19
He's going to put us
00:06:00.22\00:06:01.56
over all of the
nations, of the earth,
00:06:01.59\00:06:04.49
and therefore,
00:06:04.53\00:06:05.86
I will not be a
slave to any man.
00:06:05.89\00:06:08.53
Deuteronomy 28:2, 3.
00:06:08.56\00:06:11.07
"And all these
blessings shall come upon you
00:06:11.10\00:06:13.30
and overtake you,
00:06:13.34\00:06:14.67
because you obey the
voice of the Lord your God.
00:06:14.70\00:06:18.04
Blessed shall
you be in the city,
00:06:18.07\00:06:20.01
and blessed shall
you be in the country."
00:06:20.04\00:06:22.88
If you follow God,
00:06:22.91\00:06:24.25
He's going to load
you down with blessings.
00:06:24.28\00:06:26.68
Look at Deuteronomy 28:4,
00:06:26.72\00:06:31.85
"Blessed shall be
the fruit of your body,
00:06:31.89\00:06:35.09
the produce of your ground
and the increase of your herds,
00:06:35.12\00:06:38.76
the increase of your cattle
00:06:38.79\00:06:40.70
and the
offspring of your flocks."
00:06:40.73\00:06:42.80
God is going to bless
you in every different part
00:06:42.83\00:06:46.74
of your life.
00:06:46.77\00:06:48.10
Deuteronomy 28:7.
00:06:48.14\00:06:50.37
These verses are
written for people who obey God.
00:06:50.41\00:06:54.54
"The Lord will
cause your enemies
00:06:54.58\00:06:56.61
who rise against
you to be defeated,"
00:06:56.64\00:06:58.88
that crooked
attorney going to be defeated,
00:06:58.91\00:07:02.18
"before your face,
00:07:02.22\00:07:03.55
they shall come
against you one way
00:07:03.59\00:07:05.89
and flee before you seven ways."
00:07:05.92\00:07:08.92
Either we're
going to believe in God
00:07:08.96\00:07:11.13
or else we're going
to become unbelievers.
00:07:11.16\00:07:13.60
I choose today
to believe in God.
00:07:13.63\00:07:16.40
I choose to believe.
00:07:16.43\00:07:18.83
With God's help, I tell you,
00:07:18.87\00:07:21.40
we can be debt free.
00:07:21.44\00:07:24.97
Now here is the
text in Proverbs 10:22,
00:07:25.01\00:07:30.05
"The blessing of the
Lord makes one rich."
00:07:30.08\00:07:34.22
People say, "This
must be prosperity gospel."
00:07:34.25\00:07:36.69
No, this is Bible talk, folks.
00:07:36.72\00:07:39.12
This is telling you
what the Bible says,
00:07:39.15\00:07:40.86
don't be afraid of
the great promises of God.
00:07:40.89\00:07:44.26
"The blessing of
the Lord makes one rich,
00:07:44.29\00:07:47.06
and He adds no sorrow with it."
00:07:47.10\00:07:51.23
So if you go along to the
bank, they'll give you a loan,
00:07:51.27\00:07:53.67
and they'll add sorrow to it.
00:07:53.70\00:07:56.40
But when God gives you a
blessing, it's only blessing.
00:07:56.44\00:08:01.08
I know what I'm talking about.
00:08:01.11\00:08:04.15
My parents went
00:08:04.18\00:08:05.51
through the great
depression in Australia.
00:08:05.55\00:08:07.98
I don't know if
any of you folks know
00:08:08.02\00:08:09.58
what I'm talking about.
00:08:09.62\00:08:11.62
The world
economy collapsed once.
00:08:11.65\00:08:14.16
The way it's going now is
going to be 100 times worse.
00:08:14.19\00:08:19.16
And people are sound asleep,
00:08:19.19\00:08:21.03
and the politicians
want to keep you asleep.
00:08:21.06\00:08:24.50
They want to treat us
00:08:24.53\00:08:25.87
like a bunch of dopes.
00:08:25.90\00:08:30.67
They want us just to
say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
00:08:30.71\00:08:34.48
They want to brainwash us.
00:08:34.51\00:08:37.31
But we had this
great depression.
00:08:37.35\00:08:40.68
My father in Australia
00:08:40.72\00:08:42.58
with my mother
had a little shop.
00:08:42.62\00:08:45.45
They told me the time came
00:08:45.49\00:08:46.89
when they had one thing
left in the shop in the window,
00:08:46.92\00:08:50.53
a pumpkin, nothing
left, they lost the shop.
00:08:50.56\00:08:55.36
My father got on his Harley,
00:08:55.40\00:08:57.10
drove around all the
part of Southern Queensland,
00:08:57.13\00:09:01.80
Southwest Queensland.
00:09:01.84\00:09:03.34
Went farm after
farm, "Can I have a job?"
00:09:03.37\00:09:05.17
"No, we've got
nothing, we've got nothing."
00:09:05.21\00:09:09.18
It seemed
almost everybody seemed
00:09:09.21\00:09:10.98
to be out of a job.
00:09:11.01\00:09:12.85
The government said,
"We'll put you on the dole.
00:09:12.88\00:09:15.92
I don't if Americans
know what the dole is.
00:09:15.95\00:09:19.32
It's like a
little bit of welfare.
00:09:19.35\00:09:22.66
My father had to
walk about 20 miles
00:09:22.69\00:09:24.99
to get 17 shillings and 6 pens,
00:09:25.03\00:09:28.60
$1.75 in today's currency.
00:09:28.63\00:09:31.33
But a loaf of
bread was only $0.5.
00:09:31.37\00:09:34.34
And so he had to walk 20 miles,
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.54
and he had to
walk 20 miles back.
00:09:36.57\00:09:39.37
He had a wife, two little girls,
00:09:39.41\00:09:43.78
they didn't have enough food
00:09:43.81\00:09:46.18
to feed the little babies.
00:09:46.21\00:09:50.75
My mother had shown kindness
00:09:50.79\00:09:52.32
to a Chinese market gardener,
00:09:52.35\00:09:57.26
years before, and he
came to my mother and said,
00:09:57.29\00:10:00.73
"Mrs. Carter, here
are some tomato seeds."
00:10:00.76\00:10:04.37
Ponderosa tomato seeds.
00:10:04.40\00:10:07.44
My mother, a
woman of faith planted
00:10:07.47\00:10:10.14
the ponderosa tomato seeds,
00:10:10.17\00:10:14.08
and they went crazy.
00:10:14.11\00:10:16.78
People came
00:10:16.81\00:10:18.15
from all over
that part of Australia
00:10:18.18\00:10:19.98
to buy cases of
these ponderosa tomatoes.
00:10:20.02\00:10:25.55
They just bloomed,
and bloomed, and bloomed
00:10:25.59\00:10:29.19
and that's how they
bought milk for the children.
00:10:29.22\00:10:34.36
That's how they had food.
00:10:34.40\00:10:37.63
I want you to know,
00:10:37.67\00:10:40.54
even when the
economy falls to pieces,
00:10:40.57\00:10:44.34
we have faith in God,
and we will not be afraid.
00:10:44.37\00:10:49.71
God will provide our needs.
00:10:49.74\00:10:52.98
Now let me tell you why.
00:10:53.01\00:10:55.55
People wonder how we do this.
00:10:55.58\00:10:57.62
The Carter Report
ministry is not a big ministry,
00:10:57.65\00:10:59.95
we're a little
ministry, but we do big things.
00:10:59.99\00:11:02.62
I would rather
be a little ministry
00:11:02.66\00:11:03.99
that does big
things than a big ministry
00:11:04.03\00:11:06.19
that does little things.
00:11:06.23\00:11:07.86
You see, and
there are lots of people
00:11:07.90\00:11:09.86
who're talking a lot
and doing little things.
00:11:09.90\00:11:13.74
But we hire
00:11:13.77\00:11:15.10
some of the biggest
stadiums in the world.
00:11:15.14\00:11:17.57
India, this is in El Salvador,
00:11:17.61\00:11:22.24
Russia, the biggest stadium,
00:11:22.28\00:11:24.05
St. Petersburg,
00:11:24.08\00:11:25.41
the biggest
stadiums in the country.
00:11:25.45\00:11:28.95
And we do it, my
friends, starting with no money.
00:11:28.98\00:11:33.79
People say, "Well,
how do you get the money?"
00:11:33.82\00:11:35.26
"You belong to a
wealthy church," they say.
00:11:35.29\00:11:38.09
"You belong to a
wealthy denomination,
00:11:38.13\00:11:41.36
they pay for it
all, don't they?"
00:11:41.40\00:11:46.80
We get this much from
our church organization,
00:11:46.84\00:11:51.84
but God says He will
bless us if we do His will.
00:11:51.87\00:11:56.11
And He moves upon the
hearts of people in America,
00:11:56.14\00:12:00.82
and Australia, around the world,
00:12:00.85\00:12:03.59
and they send their money,
00:12:03.62\00:12:06.15
and it preaches the gospel.
00:12:06.19\00:12:10.19
So I know what
I'm talking about,
00:12:10.23\00:12:11.56
I've seen the blessing of God.
00:12:11.59\00:12:13.83
I've had people say
to me, "You can't do it.
00:12:13.86\00:12:16.23
You're going to get
yourself into trouble."
00:12:16.26\00:12:20.20
Anytime we get into
trouble is when we disobey God.
00:12:20.24\00:12:23.87
Now today, I'm talking
00:12:23.91\00:12:25.37
about the coming
financial earthquake.
00:12:25.41\00:12:28.08
And for those who've
just tuned into this program,
00:12:28.11\00:12:30.78
I want you to just
have a look at this.
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.35
Over here, you got
the Weimar Republic
00:12:33.38\00:12:36.62
that was set up
after the First World War,
00:12:36.65\00:12:39.65
there you've got the German mark
00:12:39.69\00:12:41.89
that used to be
the same as a dollar.
00:12:41.92\00:12:44.16
But after this period of time,
00:12:44.19\00:12:46.03
up here in 1923
started in 1919 at the end,
00:12:46.06\00:12:50.70
halfway through that year.
00:12:50.73\00:12:53.57
You had to take
00:12:53.60\00:12:54.94
$4,210,500,000, 000 marks
00:12:54.97\00:12:59.04
to make a dollar.
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.98
And people were
starving, people were starving.
00:13:02.01\00:13:07.95
And the German
government was borrowing.
00:13:07.98\00:13:10.69
Ever hear of that?
00:13:10.72\00:13:12.05
Oh, governments are not
so stupid, yeah, borrowing.
00:13:12.09\00:13:15.66
And you know
what they were doing,
00:13:15.69\00:13:17.03
they were just
printing the money.
00:13:17.06\00:13:19.89
And the German
people believe their leaders
00:13:19.93\00:13:23.73
and voted 90% for Hitler.
00:13:23.77\00:13:28.87
Because these huge
deficits often bring
00:13:28.90\00:13:32.51
about a collapse of society
00:13:32.54\00:13:36.31
and the coming of a dictator.
00:13:36.34\00:13:40.75
I want you to look here
at the American deficit.
00:13:40.78\00:13:45.15
Starting here, everybody
seems to be the blamed.
00:13:45.19\00:13:50.19
We're not talking parties here
00:13:50.23\00:13:52.43
because all parties
have been drunk on money.
00:13:52.46\00:13:57.73
You say, "Not my party."
00:13:57.77\00:13:59.27
Hey, come on, friend, think,
00:13:59.30\00:14:03.91
just do some thinking.
00:14:03.94\00:14:06.21
Just do some
thinking about this,
00:14:06.24\00:14:08.18
I ask you in the name of God.
00:14:08.21\00:14:09.91
Now we've got a deficit
00:14:09.94\00:14:13.01
of $20,000 billion,
00:14:13.05\00:14:16.55
the greatest debt in
the history of the world.
00:14:16.58\00:14:20.36
Not only the greatest
debt in the history of America,
00:14:20.39\00:14:22.42
the greatest debt in
the history of the world.
00:14:22.46\00:14:24.89
And they say, "This is
the tip of the iceberg."
00:14:24.93\00:14:28.50
And soon in the next few years,
00:14:28.53\00:14:31.23
it will go, if we're
blessed to $26 trillion
00:14:31.27\00:14:37.04
that is if we don't have a war.
00:14:37.07\00:14:40.71
Borrowing and printing money.
00:14:45.01\00:14:48.62
Unless the president
and the Congress act soon
00:14:48.65\00:14:52.19
to rein in this
orgy of spending,
00:14:52.22\00:14:56.49
there will be a
financial collapse,
00:14:56.52\00:15:00.73
not if, but when.
00:15:00.76\00:15:05.30
Washington and other places
00:15:05.33\00:15:08.10
are drunk on money,
00:15:08.14\00:15:11.54
and the people are
sleeping and want to sleep.
00:15:11.57\00:15:16.71
Remember the
German Weimar Republic.
00:15:16.75\00:15:19.85
Imagine spending $1
million in the morning
00:15:19.88\00:15:22.85
for a loaf of bread,
00:15:22.88\00:15:24.22
and $2 million for the same loaf
00:15:24.25\00:15:26.45
that afternoon.
00:15:26.49\00:15:28.22
And you've got to
take a wheelbarrow,
00:15:28.26\00:15:32.23
and then you got to get a truck.
00:15:32.26\00:15:37.43
I want to show you
where the events are pointing.
00:15:37.47\00:15:39.47
I want you to come over here
00:15:39.50\00:15:40.84
to the prophecy of Ezekiel 7:19.
00:15:40.87\00:15:45.44
I want you to think about this,
if this wakes you up, I'm glad.
00:15:45.47\00:15:49.81
If this wakes you up to
say, I want to trust in God
00:15:49.84\00:15:52.81
and not trust in man, I'm glad.
00:15:52.85\00:15:55.45
Ezekiel 7, "They will throw
their silver into the streets,
00:15:55.48\00:15:59.49
and their gold
will be like refuse.
00:15:59.52\00:16:02.22
Their silver and their gold
00:16:02.26\00:16:03.99
will not be able to deliver them
00:16:04.03\00:16:07.00
in the day of the
wrath of the Lord,
00:16:07.03\00:16:09.16
they will not
satisfy their souls,
00:16:09.20\00:16:11.87
nor fill their
stomachs, because it became
00:16:11.90\00:16:14.34
their stumbling
block of their iniquity."
00:16:14.37\00:16:18.21
Many years ago in Australia,
00:16:18.24\00:16:19.77
I heard a great
preacher describe this day.
00:16:19.81\00:16:24.91
He said, I imagine a young
man comes down to breakfast,
00:16:24.95\00:16:27.92
we will call him John, I
think it's such a good name.
00:16:27.95\00:16:30.65
He comes down to
breakfast, and his wife says,
00:16:30.69\00:16:33.86
"John, what's wrong
with you, you look terrible."
00:16:33.89\00:16:36.96
He says, "I don't
know what's wrong with me,
00:16:36.99\00:16:39.39
I just feel the
doom of the damned.
00:16:39.43\00:16:42.56
I heard a preacher
talk about it once,
00:16:42.60\00:16:44.80
and I close my ears."
00:16:44.83\00:16:49.44
Then he thinks to
himself, "I know what it is.
00:16:49.47\00:16:52.77
It's because I put my money
00:16:52.81\00:16:54.44
before God," like most of us.
00:16:54.48\00:16:58.95
He thinks, "If I can
get rid off of my money,
00:16:58.98\00:17:00.85
I will feel okay."
00:17:00.88\00:17:02.22
So he runs upstairs,
and he goes to a safe
00:17:02.25\00:17:05.19
where he's got his
sliver, and his gold,
00:17:05.22\00:17:07.72
and his jewelry, he gets it all.
00:17:07.76\00:17:10.86
He runs out in the street.
00:17:10.89\00:17:14.50
And in the street,
00:17:14.53\00:17:15.90
there are people running
everywhere in the street.
00:17:15.93\00:17:19.57
Vast lost crowd,
people running everywhere.
00:17:22.67\00:17:25.51
And John takes the
silver and the gold,
00:17:25.54\00:17:27.91
and he throws
them into the street,
00:17:27.94\00:17:29.41
into the midst of the crowd.
00:17:29.44\00:17:31.71
And nobody stops to pick it up.
00:17:31.75\00:17:35.38
It's a stumbling
block of their inequity.
00:17:35.42\00:17:38.79
One day, we're
going to get smart,
00:17:38.82\00:17:43.83
and we're going to realize
00:17:43.86\00:17:45.19
that the most important thing
00:17:45.23\00:17:46.56
is not money, it's God.
00:17:46.59\00:17:51.53
Our relationship with God.
00:17:51.57\00:17:55.84
Many years ago, I'm
told there was a woman
00:17:55.87\00:17:57.74
who was given a
job in a big silk mill.
00:17:57.77\00:18:01.74
And the
supervisor said, "Young lady,
00:18:01.78\00:18:03.65
this silk is hard to
tangle, don't mess with it.
00:18:03.68\00:18:06.75
If it starts to tangle,
00:18:06.78\00:18:09.12
don't try to straighten it out."
00:18:09.15\00:18:10.85
Just like us,
00:18:10.89\00:18:12.39
we let it get
tangled and gets worse.
00:18:12.42\00:18:16.02
He said, "Don't try
to straighten it out.
00:18:16.06\00:18:18.03
There is a button,
push me, I will come.
00:18:18.06\00:18:20.90
Remember, don't try
to straighten it out."
00:18:20.93\00:18:25.43
He was gone for a
minute, started to tangle.
00:18:25.47\00:18:29.27
She thought,
00:18:29.30\00:18:30.64
"I can't call him now,
he'll think I'm a fool."
00:18:30.67\00:18:35.14
So like us she tried to
straighten out the mess.
00:18:35.18\00:18:39.61
The more she tried to
straighten out the mess,
00:18:39.65\00:18:44.49
the worse it got.
00:18:44.52\00:18:46.42
And finally, I know it's just
00:18:46.45\00:18:50.06
a hopeless mess and mess
00:18:50.09\00:18:54.16
of tangled threads.
00:18:54.20\00:18:59.77
She pressed the button,
00:18:59.80\00:19:03.54
and the man came
running, and he said to her.
00:19:03.57\00:19:05.97
He said, "Why
didn't you call me?"
00:19:06.01\00:19:10.25
She said,
00:19:10.28\00:19:11.61
"Sir, I did my best."
00:19:11.65\00:19:16.42
He said, "Young
lady, the best thing
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.59
you could have done
was to call for me."
00:19:18.62\00:19:23.06
You know the
best thing we can do?
00:19:23.09\00:19:25.49
Hey, best thing for
you and for me to do
00:19:25.53\00:19:28.56
is to get off for a
little while off the cell phone.
00:19:28.60\00:19:32.90
You know, people are addicted.
00:19:32.93\00:19:35.60
Cell phone addicts,
they can't go anywhere.
00:19:35.64\00:19:39.41
They can't go out
to eat. You see them.
00:19:39.44\00:19:43.75
Recently I saw a lady
00:19:43.78\00:19:45.75
with her little
boy having breakfast,
00:19:45.78\00:19:47.98
he'd earphones,
watching a violent video,
00:19:48.02\00:19:53.02
oh, bang, bang, bang.
00:19:53.05\00:19:55.32
Here is the mother
sitting there, yeah.
00:19:55.36\00:20:00.16
He's not eating
00:20:00.20\00:20:01.53
so she pushes him
a few scrambled egg.
00:20:01.56\00:20:05.47
Don't laugh about it,
00:20:05.50\00:20:07.80
it's an
addiction as bad as heroin.
00:20:07.84\00:20:12.24
It destroys mind.
00:20:12.27\00:20:15.94
People can't think.
00:20:15.98\00:20:17.91
Can only think in
one or two sentences.
00:20:17.95\00:20:20.52
You know, what's
happening to them?
00:20:20.55\00:20:21.98
They're getting
ready to be deceived
00:20:22.02\00:20:24.65
by the antichrist.
00:20:24.69\00:20:27.09
Ninety percent of the Germans,
00:20:27.12\00:20:29.12
"Yeah, he is our guy."
00:20:29.16\00:20:32.03
It is a stumbling
block of their inequity.
00:20:35.16\00:20:39.77
The best thing you and
I can do is to call God.
00:20:39.80\00:20:43.71
Repent of our sins,
00:20:43.74\00:20:45.47
and ask Christ to
come into our hearts,
00:20:45.51\00:20:49.11
that's the best thing we can do.
00:20:49.14\00:20:51.21
Repent of our sins.
00:20:51.25\00:20:55.08
Now come with me
to Matthew 24:21, 22.
00:20:55.12\00:20:58.29
Matthew 24,
00:20:58.32\00:20:59.75
"For then there will
be great tribulation,
00:20:59.79\00:21:01.99
such as has not been
00:21:02.02\00:21:03.83
since the beginning of the world
00:21:03.86\00:21:06.03
until this time,
no, nor ever shall be.
00:21:06.06\00:21:09.46
And unless those
days were shortened,
00:21:09.50\00:21:11.93
no flesh would be saved,
00:21:11.97\00:21:13.64
but for the elect's sake
those days will be shortened."
00:21:13.67\00:21:18.11
So there comes a time of trouble
00:21:18.14\00:21:20.11
when the elect are on the earth.
00:21:20.14\00:21:21.91
Matthew 24:29-31,
00:21:21.94\00:21:26.05
"Immediately after the
tribulation of those days
00:21:26.08\00:21:28.68
the sun will be darkened,
00:21:28.72\00:21:30.32
and the moon will
not give its light,
00:21:30.35\00:21:31.99
the stars will fall from heaven,
00:21:32.02\00:21:33.92
and the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.
00:21:33.96\00:21:36.86
Then the sign of the Son of
Man will appear in the heavens,
00:21:36.89\00:21:39.73
and then all the tribes
of the earth will mourn,
00:21:39.76\00:21:42.06
and they will see the Son of Man
00:21:42.10\00:21:44.10
coming on the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
00:21:44.13\00:21:48.00
And He will send His
angels with a great shout,
00:21:48.04\00:21:50.61
the sound of a trumpet,
00:21:50.64\00:21:51.97
and they will gather together
His elect from the four winds,
00:21:52.01\00:21:56.61
from one end of
heaven to the other."
00:21:56.64\00:21:59.88
My friend, I'm just
a plain simple person,
00:21:59.91\00:22:05.55
I don't like being brainwashed
by preachers or politicians.
00:22:05.59\00:22:09.66
This verse tells me
00:22:09.69\00:22:11.83
that after the great
tribulation Christ comes.
00:22:11.86\00:22:16.36
Now with an apology to
my evangelical friends,
00:22:16.40\00:22:20.80
my Pentecostal friends
00:22:20.84\00:22:23.17
who believe that the elect
have raptured home to glory,
00:22:23.20\00:22:28.01
and they don't
see the tribulation,
00:22:28.04\00:22:29.98
I don't buy it.
00:22:30.01\00:22:33.25
Because the Bible says
00:22:33.28\00:22:35.15
the elect are on the earth
during the great tribulation,
00:22:35.18\00:22:40.89
and after the
tribulation Christ comes
00:22:40.92\00:22:44.23
and saves them.
00:22:44.26\00:22:47.60
That's not to
offend, my friends,
00:22:47.63\00:22:50.43
but I have to tell
you what I believe,
00:22:50.47\00:22:53.57
and I hope we're still friends.
00:22:53.60\00:22:56.07
The coming of Christ
is after the tribulation,
00:22:56.10\00:22:58.81
the elect are on the earth.
00:22:58.84\00:23:03.01
Many years ago,
00:23:03.04\00:23:05.18
when I was 19 years of
age with my wife Beverley,
00:23:05.21\00:23:09.88
who was then my girlfriend.
00:23:09.92\00:23:12.99
We traveled from
Avondale College down
00:23:13.02\00:23:15.32
to Sydney to hear
an American preacher
00:23:15.36\00:23:20.20
whose hair was
blowing in the wind,
00:23:20.23\00:23:22.76
who had a crowd of 200,000.
00:23:22.80\00:23:25.70
They told him, it
could never happen.
00:23:25.73\00:23:28.17
And he had a Bible,
00:23:28.20\00:23:29.54
and he was
saying the Bible says,
00:23:29.57\00:23:32.07
the Bible says.
00:23:32.11\00:23:34.68
He preached on the
second coming of Christ.
00:23:34.71\00:23:38.41
Then he told the
story of Napoleon Bonaparte
00:23:38.45\00:23:41.28
after the Battle of Waterloo.
00:23:41.32\00:23:44.79
After the Battle of Waterloo
00:23:44.82\00:23:46.86
when he was
defeated by the British,
00:23:46.89\00:23:49.02
Napoleon with
some of his generals
00:23:49.06\00:23:51.43
got a map of Europe,
00:23:51.46\00:23:53.29
and he looked at
the map of Europe,
00:23:53.33\00:23:55.46
and he pointed to England
which was the one red spot.
00:23:55.50\00:23:58.47
And he said, "But
for that one red spot,
00:23:58.50\00:24:01.90
I would have
conquered the whole world."
00:24:01.94\00:24:04.91
And Billy Graham went onto say,
00:24:04.94\00:24:08.11
"After Calvary when Satan
was defeated at the cross,
00:24:08.14\00:24:14.05
Satan got all
the host set of hell.
00:24:14.08\00:24:18.32
And they stood around,
and they looked at this world.
00:24:18.35\00:24:23.69
And Satan pointed to Calvary
00:24:23.73\00:24:28.16
and he said, you know it,
00:24:28.20\00:24:32.23
"But for that one red spot,
00:24:32.27\00:24:34.97
I would have
conquered the whole world."
00:24:35.00\00:24:38.41
I may not have even decided
00:24:38.44\00:24:41.08
to be a preacher, an evangelist,
00:24:41.11\00:24:44.31
even had not been for
the ministry of this man,
00:24:44.35\00:24:49.68
but for that one red spot,
00:24:49.72\00:24:53.89
I would have
conquered the whole world.
00:24:53.92\00:24:58.13
I say to you what he
said to me in 200,000,
00:24:58.16\00:25:03.77
you and I need
to come to Christ.
00:25:03.80\00:25:07.20
And we need to do
it with our souls,
00:25:07.24\00:25:11.67
and we need to
repent of our sins
00:25:11.71\00:25:15.44
because none of us
are going to be saved
00:25:15.48\00:25:17.48
as we hold on to our sins.
00:25:17.51\00:25:19.85
If we come to Christ,
and if we repent of our sins,
00:25:19.88\00:25:25.89
and if we are born again,
00:25:25.92\00:25:30.19
the Bible says,
00:25:30.23\00:25:32.39
the Bible says if we do this,
00:25:32.43\00:25:36.87
there is glory
ahead for the elect.
00:25:36.90\00:25:42.07
There is glory ahead for those
00:25:42.10\00:25:45.91
who trust in Christ.
00:25:45.94\00:25:49.48
Listen to me.
00:25:49.51\00:25:52.38
The clock is
ticking, the churches
00:25:52.41\00:25:57.39
and the politicians
seemed to be asleep,
00:25:57.42\00:26:00.66
but God has given us a message.
00:26:00.69\00:26:03.96
And today, we
accept that message
00:26:03.99\00:26:07.20
and we accept that Christ,
00:26:07.23\00:26:10.17
and we do so in Jesus' name,
00:26:10.20\00:26:14.40
amen.
00:26:14.44\00:26:16.87
Amen.
00:26:16.91\00:26:18.87
Amen.
00:26:18.91\00:26:22.64

Carter will provide the answers
00:26:22.68\00:26:25.45
to life's most
interesting questions.
00:26:25.48\00:26:27.62
Seven great signs
of the apocalypse.
00:26:27.65\00:26:31.29
If the dead are unconscious,
00:26:31.32\00:26:33.52
who are the beings
that pretend to be the dead?
00:26:33.56\00:26:38.39
Is there such a
person as the devil?
00:26:38.43\00:26:41.46
What is the
essence of antichrist?
00:26:44.70\00:26:46.77
What is the root cause
of this deadly malaise?
00:26:51.91\00:26:57.38
America was founded by people
00:26:57.41\00:26:59.81
who were opposed
00:26:59.85\00:27:01.52
to the union of
church and state.
00:27:01.55\00:27:05.05
But if there's a
God who loves us,
00:27:05.09\00:27:07.12
then the future is
bright was promised.
