I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:00:02.20\00:00:04.60
In Havana, Cuba.
00:00:04.63\00:00:07.27
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine...
00:00:07.30\00:00:10.54
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.57\00:00:13.51
Right here in Communist China...
00:00:13.54\00:00:16.51
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.54\00:00:18.61
Hi, I'm John Carter
in the Solomon Islands.
00:00:18.65\00:00:21.48
I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:00:21.52\00:00:23.99
From El Salvador.
00:00:24.02\00:00:26.39
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:00:26.42\00:00:29.32
In today's lesson,
John Carter guides us
00:00:29.36\00:00:31.89
through The Origin
and the End of Evil.
00:00:31.93\00:00:36.73
Welcome back.
00:00:36.77\00:00:38.10
We're talking today about
The Origin and the End of Evil.
00:00:38.13\00:00:42.27
You know what a theocracy is?
00:00:42.30\00:00:44.11
I wanna ask my
friends around the world,
00:00:44.14\00:00:45.47
especially my
great American friends,
00:00:45.51\00:00:47.88
what's a theocracy?
00:00:47.91\00:00:50.88
Well, it's something
that a lot of Christians
00:00:50.91\00:00:52.61
in this country want to set up.
00:00:52.65\00:00:55.38
They say, "We want Jesus
to be the ruler of America."
00:00:55.42\00:00:59.99
Does that sound good?
00:01:00.02\00:01:01.79
That sounds good to me.
00:01:01.82\00:01:03.89
Have you ever tried it before?
00:01:03.93\00:01:06.13
Yeah, in the Middle
Ages. What happened?
00:01:06.16\00:01:07.90
They put to death
millions of people.
00:01:07.93\00:01:10.17
That's what happened.
00:01:10.20\00:01:11.53
A theocracy is
when the government
00:01:11.57\00:01:14.57
and the church tell
you how to worship God.
00:01:14.60\00:01:19.67
You know what that's called?
00:01:19.71\00:01:23.04
Millions of my American friends,
00:01:23.08\00:01:25.18
particularly in
the religious world,
00:01:25.21\00:01:28.92
they think, "Hey, hallelujah,
this is the greatest..."
00:01:28.95\00:01:32.25
Yeah, it is the greatest thing,
right from the pit of hell.
00:01:32.29\00:01:37.33
A theocracy tells you
what you've got to do.
00:01:37.36\00:01:40.56
And it forces you to do it.
00:01:43.60\00:01:46.67
And there's no
freedom of choice.
00:01:46.70\00:01:50.91
So that's why it's Antichrist
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.34
because God gives
us the gift of freedom.
00:01:52.37\00:01:56.14
That's what America is
supposed to be all about.
00:01:56.18\00:02:00.22
Let freedom reign, you see.
00:02:00.25\00:02:03.52
I've got the
right as an American
00:02:03.55\00:02:05.85
to worship or not to worship.
00:02:05.89\00:02:07.96
In the Dark Ages,
00:02:07.99\00:02:09.72
the great
church of the Dark Ages
00:02:09.76\00:02:11.39
joined with the
state put to death
00:02:11.43\00:02:13.40
millions and millions
and tortured them too,
00:02:13.43\00:02:16.67
the people.
00:02:16.70\00:02:19.50
That's a theocracy.
00:02:19.53\00:02:21.64
But God doesn't
have any theocracies now
00:02:21.67\00:02:25.24
because God gives
us freedom of choice.
00:02:25.27\00:02:29.74
And that's what he
gave to Adam and Eve,
00:02:29.78\00:02:32.35
freedom of choice.
00:02:32.38\00:02:34.15
That's what he gave to
Lucifer, the covering cherub,
00:02:34.18\00:02:37.49
freedom of choice.
00:02:37.52\00:02:40.49
Can you love that freedom?
00:02:40.52\00:02:44.43
Can you love without a choice?
00:02:44.46\00:02:46.56
My friend, love
demands a choice.
00:02:46.59\00:02:52.77
You can't love
unless you can choose.
00:02:52.80\00:02:57.21
And because God
is a God of love,
00:02:57.24\00:03:00.01
He gave us freedom of choice.
00:03:00.04\00:03:01.81
That's why a theocracy
00:03:01.84\00:03:04.51
is the
abomination of desolation.
00:03:04.55\00:03:09.58
God permits, He warns,
00:03:09.62\00:03:13.72
He permits.
00:03:13.76\00:03:15.22
And when Adam and
Eve sinned, they chose...
00:03:15.26\00:03:18.73
We talked about this
in the first segment.
00:03:18.76\00:03:21.33
They chose the path of pain.
00:03:21.36\00:03:24.73
Don't blame God for pain.
00:03:24.77\00:03:29.67
The suffering today exists
for two reasons basically.
00:03:29.70\00:03:34.31
Galatians 1:6-7.
00:03:34.34\00:03:36.64
Look at Galatians 1:6-7.
00:03:36.68\00:03:40.08
"Do not be
deceived," don't be...
00:03:40.12\00:03:43.05
Don't be taken in.
00:03:43.08\00:03:45.05
"God is not mocked,
00:03:45.09\00:03:47.02
for whatever a man sows,"
00:03:47.06\00:03:49.09
what does it say?
00:03:49.12\00:03:51.53
He's gonna reap it.
00:03:51.56\00:03:53.06
We are usually
reaping what we sow.
00:03:53.09\00:03:58.53
If you get lung
cancer, generally speaking,
00:03:58.57\00:04:03.00
not always, but generally,
00:04:03.04\00:04:05.37
it's because you made
a really stupid choice
00:04:05.41\00:04:10.55
and smoked cigarettes.
00:04:10.58\00:04:12.28
Don't blame God.
00:04:12.31\00:04:15.35
Don't even blame
the cigarette company.
00:04:15.38\00:04:18.75
You made the wrong choice.
00:04:18.79\00:04:20.76
Face up to it.
00:04:20.79\00:04:22.12
Now I've had
lots of skin cancers,
00:04:22.16\00:04:25.63
one recently
taken off my nose here,
00:04:25.66\00:04:30.43
and another one taken off here.
00:04:30.47\00:04:33.50
And when I was in
Australia recently, one here,
00:04:33.54\00:04:36.50
and one here that
I will not show you.
00:04:36.54\00:04:39.71
And a few years ago,
00:04:39.74\00:04:42.44
my American
doctor found on my arm
00:04:42.48\00:04:45.91
a strange looking thing.
00:04:45.95\00:04:48.02
He said, you always get a
bit scared when the doctor says,
00:04:48.05\00:04:51.42
"How long have you had that?"
00:04:51.45\00:04:53.66
A malignant melanoma,
the worst type of cancer.
00:04:53.69\00:04:57.96
But first-aid, took it
off, got it all, it was okay.
00:04:57.99\00:05:04.03
I got that because
of the sins of my youth,
00:05:04.07\00:05:07.40
lying on the beach all day
in Australia with fair skin.
00:05:07.44\00:05:11.91
Whatever you sow,
you're going to reap.
00:05:11.94\00:05:15.64
But not all
suffering is the result
00:05:15.68\00:05:17.85
of personal choices.
00:05:17.88\00:05:20.42
We are living in
a sin-cursed world.
00:05:20.45\00:05:24.72
When Adam sinned,
00:05:24.75\00:05:27.09
he opened the floodgates of evil
00:05:27.12\00:05:30.79
and the innocents suffer.
00:05:30.83\00:05:34.40
Not all suffering
is a personal choice.
00:05:34.43\00:05:39.57
But God has promised to
abolish the reign of evil
00:05:39.60\00:05:42.30
and that's why we
teach over and over again
00:05:42.34\00:05:45.57
that Jesus is coming.
00:05:45.61\00:05:47.98
And He's going to
set up a new world.
00:05:48.01\00:05:50.28
And He's going to
get rid of cancer.
00:05:50.31\00:05:52.08
He's going to get
rid of heart disease.
00:05:52.11\00:05:53.95
He's going to get rid of death.
00:05:53.98\00:05:57.35
I want you to
notice now with me,
00:05:57.39\00:05:58.85
please, the character of Satan.
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.82
Number one, Satan
forces or coerces.
00:06:01.86\00:06:07.00
The word coerce is no
longer used much today.
00:06:07.03\00:06:11.53
Satan does not believe
in freedom of conscience.
00:06:11.57\00:06:15.07
But God never
forces us to obey Him.
00:06:15.10\00:06:18.47
We have freedom to choose.
00:06:18.51\00:06:20.44
And that is why a
theocracy is of the devil
00:06:20.48\00:06:25.15
because it's based on force,
00:06:25.18\00:06:27.88
"You'll worship
as I tell you to."
00:06:27.92\00:06:30.62
God doesn't do that.
00:06:30.65\00:06:32.65
That's the devil's religion.
00:06:32.69\00:06:34.46
So Satan's character, force.
00:06:34.49\00:06:37.33
Number two, he is
that liar of liars.
00:06:37.36\00:06:43.57
And if you read the text,
00:06:43.60\00:06:45.70
John 8:44, Jesus said,
00:06:45.73\00:06:49.24
"You are of
your father the devil
00:06:49.27\00:06:54.28
and the desires of
your father you will do.
00:06:54.31\00:06:59.11
He was a murderer
from the beginning
00:06:59.15\00:07:01.82
and does not stand in the truth
00:07:01.85\00:07:04.95
because there
is no truth in him.
00:07:04.99\00:07:07.42
When he speaks a lie, he
speaks of his own resources,
00:07:07.46\00:07:11.66
for he is a liar
and the father of it."
00:07:11.69\00:07:16.46
So he is the original
and the greatest liar.
00:07:16.50\00:07:23.41
And when a person tells lies,
00:07:23.44\00:07:26.84
whoever he might be,
00:07:26.88\00:07:28.64
a politician, or a
priest, or a pastor,
00:07:28.68\00:07:32.41
he is of his father the devil
00:07:32.45\00:07:35.68
and on his way to hell.
00:07:35.72\00:07:38.12
Number three,
00:07:38.15\00:07:39.95
Satan speaks and lives hate.
00:07:39.99\00:07:45.49
When you hear hate speech,
00:07:45.53\00:07:48.63
name calling,
00:07:48.66\00:07:50.77
all the vitriol, all the...
00:07:50.80\00:07:54.27
The guy, all the
dirtiness that flows forth
00:07:54.30\00:07:58.84
out of some people's mouths.
00:07:58.87\00:08:03.71
It is the devil who
is speaking through them.
00:08:03.75\00:08:07.92
Number four,
00:08:07.95\00:08:09.58
Satan is the great
pretender and he deceives.
00:08:09.62\00:08:14.49
2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10, and 11.
00:08:14.52\00:08:19.06
It says, "The
coming of the lawless one
00:08:19.09\00:08:22.13
is according to
the working of Satan,
00:08:22.16\00:08:25.67
with all power,
signs, and lying wonders,"
00:08:25.70\00:08:29.20
and most people are so gullible,
00:08:29.24\00:08:31.97
"and with all
unrighteous deception
00:08:32.01\00:08:35.11
among those who perish
00:08:35.14\00:08:37.15
because they did not
receive the love of the truth,
00:08:37.18\00:08:41.05
that they might be saved.
00:08:41.08\00:08:42.42
And for this reason
God will send them,"
00:08:42.45\00:08:45.19
what does they say?
00:08:45.22\00:08:46.55
"Strong delusion,
00:08:46.59\00:08:48.12
that they should
believe the lie."
00:08:48.16\00:08:52.23
I shouldn't be
amazed but I still am.
00:08:52.26\00:08:54.83
I'm amazed when I
see so many people
00:08:54.86\00:08:58.37
who are sucked into the vortex
00:08:58.40\00:09:03.20
of destruction and deception.
00:09:03.24\00:09:07.08
They will
choose to believe lies.
00:09:07.11\00:09:11.65
A man said to me
recently, he said,
00:09:11.68\00:09:14.65
"You have
truth, I have my truth.
00:09:14.68\00:09:17.45
And my truth is as
good as your truth."
00:09:17.49\00:09:20.26
I said, "And what is your truth,
00:09:20.29\00:09:22.29
my friend?"
00:09:22.32\00:09:23.66
He said, "What I
choose it to be."
00:09:23.69\00:09:26.96
What I want it to
be, that is my truth.
00:09:27.00\00:09:31.00
He was speaking of
his father the devil
00:09:31.03\00:09:35.07
because God is a
God of righteousness.
00:09:35.10\00:09:38.87
But Lucifer is
the great pretender
00:09:38.91\00:09:42.61
and the great deceiver.
00:09:42.64\00:09:44.55
Look at me, my American friends,
00:09:44.58\00:09:47.22
my Australian friends,
00:09:47.25\00:09:50.39
you and I need to
walk so close to God
00:09:50.42\00:09:54.19
that we will not be
taken in by the deceptions
00:09:54.22\00:09:58.86
of the devil or his agents.
00:09:58.89\00:10:04.07
That's why I tell
people, "Read your Bible
00:10:04.10\00:10:06.90
and read your Bible every day.
00:10:06.94\00:10:09.27
Therefore, he's
the great deceiver."
00:10:09.30\00:10:12.34
And here we
come to the next one,
00:10:12.37\00:10:14.24
he perverts the good.
00:10:14.28\00:10:16.75
Remember, the
fruit in the garden,
00:10:16.78\00:10:19.25
it was so
luscious, so beautiful.
00:10:19.28\00:10:23.15
But it became a thing of death.
00:10:23.18\00:10:25.92
Number six, he hates the truth.
00:10:25.95\00:10:29.82
Number six, he hates the truth.
00:10:29.86\00:10:33.13
We live in an age of post truth.
00:10:33.16\00:10:36.73
Look at this text John 8:44.
00:10:36.77\00:10:41.94
Jesus said, "There
is no truth in him.
00:10:41.97\00:10:46.07
When he speaks a lie,
00:10:46.11\00:10:48.28
he speaks from
his own resources,
00:10:48.31\00:10:50.68
for he is a liar
and the father of it."
00:10:50.71\00:10:53.58
Listen to me. Look at me.
00:10:53.62\00:10:57.45
I think that the
worst of all sins
00:10:57.49\00:11:02.36
is the sin of lying
00:11:02.39\00:11:04.09
that becomes a
sin of self-deception
00:11:04.13\00:11:09.36
because a person can
lie and lie and lie so much
00:11:09.40\00:11:16.00
that he comes to the place
00:11:16.04\00:11:17.67
when he thinks
the lie is the truth.
00:11:17.71\00:11:22.98
That is the unpardonable sin.
00:11:23.01\00:11:26.18
Jesus said, "God
will forgive every sin
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.35
except the sin that is committed
00:11:29.38\00:11:31.85
against the Holy Spirit."
00:11:31.89\00:11:35.02
But how can you
confess your sins to God
00:11:35.06\00:11:37.69
if you don't
believe you've got any sins?
00:11:37.73\00:11:42.76
So he is the liar of lies
00:11:42.80\00:11:46.50
and he hates the truth.
00:11:46.53\00:11:48.07
He loves power,
wealth, and authority.
00:11:48.10\00:11:54.14
Look at Isaiah 14:12-14.
00:11:54.18\00:11:58.71
"How you are fallen
from heaven, O Lucifer,
00:11:58.75\00:12:01.02
son of the morning!
00:12:01.05\00:12:02.38
How you are cut
down to the ground,
00:12:02.42\00:12:03.82
you who weakened the nations!
00:12:03.85\00:12:05.49
For you said in your heart,
'I will ascend into heaven,
00:12:05.52\00:12:09.16
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God,
00:12:09.19\00:12:12.69
I will also sit on the
mount of the congregation
00:12:12.73\00:12:16.43
on the farthest
sides of the north,
00:12:16.46\00:12:18.17
I will ascend above
the heights of the clouds,
00:12:18.20\00:12:20.84
I will be like the Most High.'"
00:12:20.87\00:12:23.17
I trouble.
00:12:23.20\00:12:24.54
This insatiable desire,
00:12:27.24\00:12:30.88
the power, wealth, and authority
00:12:30.91\00:12:34.85
doesn't come from God.
00:12:34.88\00:12:36.75
It comes from the devil.
00:12:36.79\00:12:38.89
Jesus said, "He was a murderer."
00:12:38.92\00:12:41.82
John 8:44.
00:12:41.86\00:12:44.43
He says, "He was a
murderer from the beginning."
00:12:44.46\00:12:48.46
Every great leader in history,
00:12:48.50\00:12:52.13
even though he's been forced
on occasions to go to war,
00:12:52.17\00:12:56.27
hates war.
00:12:56.30\00:13:00.41
And he who loves war
00:13:00.44\00:13:03.11
and the shedding of blood
00:13:03.14\00:13:06.41
is the servant of the devil.
00:13:06.45\00:13:09.58
He is proud.
00:13:09.62\00:13:12.45
Ezekiel 28:17 says,
00:13:12.49\00:13:15.19
"Your heart was lifted
up because of your beauty."
00:13:15.22\00:13:21.06
He uses arrogance.
00:13:21.10\00:13:24.13
The tenth point which
describes his character says,
00:13:24.17\00:13:27.57
"He is the destroyer."
00:13:27.60\00:13:29.30
And the text is Revelation 9:11,
00:13:29.34\00:13:32.94
which is an amazing text.
00:13:32.97\00:13:35.64
"And they had as
king over them the angel
00:13:35.68\00:13:38.55
of the bottomless
pit," that's Lucifer,
00:13:38.58\00:13:41.78
"whose name in
Hebrew is Abaddon,
00:13:41.82\00:13:46.02
but in Greek, he
has the name Apollyon."
00:13:46.05\00:13:49.92
It means a destroyer.
00:13:49.96\00:13:53.70
So look at me.
00:13:53.73\00:13:56.73
He destroys marriages,
00:13:56.77\00:14:01.70
and homes, and churches,
00:14:01.74\00:14:06.37
and people, and children,
00:14:06.41\00:14:09.51
and nations.
00:14:09.54\00:14:12.25
Apollyon.
00:14:12.28\00:14:15.32
God is the Creator.
00:14:15.35\00:14:18.15
He is the destroyer.
00:14:18.19\00:14:21.49
And one could say
00:14:21.52\00:14:22.86
he's doing a
pretty good job today
00:14:22.89\00:14:26.26
even in America.
00:14:26.29\00:14:30.10
He is the very
opposite of God in character.
00:14:30.13\00:14:34.40
The Bible tells me
that God is the God
00:14:34.44\00:14:36.10
who made the universe.
00:14:36.14\00:14:37.81
He's a God of love.
00:14:37.84\00:14:40.11
He's a God of mercy.
00:14:40.14\00:14:42.61
He's a God of
truth, never tells a lie.
00:14:42.64\00:14:46.18
He's full of grace.
00:14:46.21\00:14:47.75
He's the God of restoration.
00:14:47.78\00:14:49.65
He's the God of
fullness, of joy.
00:14:49.68\00:14:53.09
Now listen to me.
00:14:53.12\00:14:54.46
Has it ever come
into your pure mind
00:14:57.56\00:15:00.76
the question,
00:15:00.80\00:15:02.13
what is going wrong in America?
00:15:02.16\00:15:04.57
What is going
wrong in Australia?
00:15:04.60\00:15:06.53
What is going
wrong in Great Britain?
00:15:06.57\00:15:08.80
What is going
wrong everywhere we look?
00:15:08.84\00:15:14.18
I'm going to tell you today
00:15:14.21\00:15:15.91
that there's a passage
in the Book of Revelation
00:15:15.94\00:15:17.85
that most of us
did not understand
00:15:17.88\00:15:19.81
very well.
00:15:19.85\00:15:21.82
I didn't understand
this number of years ago,
00:15:21.85\00:15:24.12
but I studied it and studied it.
00:15:24.15\00:15:26.32
And with the help
of some good friends,
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.59
I was able to work it out.
00:15:28.62\00:15:30.03
I now understand it.
00:15:30.06\00:15:31.89
There is a picture in
the Book of Revelation
00:15:31.93\00:15:34.00
that says, "In the last days,
00:15:34.03\00:15:36.23
the earth is going to become
infested with evil spirits."
00:15:36.26\00:15:42.84
Lord, have mercy.
00:15:42.87\00:15:44.67
We're gonna cry out,
"Lord Jesus, I need you.
00:15:44.71\00:15:47.44
Lord Jesus, come and help me.
00:15:47.48\00:15:49.18
Lord Jesus, I'm
going to read my Bible.
00:15:49.21\00:15:51.81
Lord Jesus, I'm
gonna go to church."
00:15:51.85\00:15:55.25
Let me read you the
text. Revelation 9:1-3.
00:15:55.28\00:15:59.62
And this is the
passage that, for many years,
00:15:59.65\00:16:02.36
I did not understand.
00:16:02.39\00:16:04.06
"Then the fifth angel sounded,
00:16:04.09\00:16:05.83
'And I saw a star fallen
from heaven to the earth.'"
00:16:05.86\00:16:11.17
This is the evil one.
00:16:11.20\00:16:12.53
"To him was given the
key of the bottomless pit,"
00:16:12.57\00:16:15.97
the abyssos.
00:16:16.00\00:16:17.61
"And he opened
the bottomless pit,"
00:16:17.64\00:16:18.97
the abyssos,
00:16:19.01\00:16:20.34
"and there arose
smoke out of the pit
00:16:20.38\00:16:22.61
like the smoke
of a great furnace.
00:16:22.64\00:16:24.95
So the sun and
the air were darkened
00:16:24.98\00:16:27.28
because of the smoke of the pit.
00:16:27.32\00:16:29.18
Then out of the smoke
locusts arose upon the earth.
00:16:29.22\00:16:33.59
And to them was given power,
00:16:33.62\00:16:35.29
as the scorpions of
the earth have power."
00:16:35.32\00:16:38.89
Jesus in one occasion
said he gave to his disciples
00:16:38.93\00:16:42.06
the ability and the
power to walk on the scorpions.
00:16:42.10\00:16:47.07
These are evil spirits.
00:16:47.10\00:16:50.94
The Bible says
00:16:50.97\00:16:53.11
before Jesus comes,
00:16:53.14\00:16:56.24
this is figurative language,
the great bottomless pit,
00:16:56.28\00:16:59.55
the abyssos where Satan reigns,
00:16:59.58\00:17:02.52
is going to be opened
00:17:02.55\00:17:03.99
and up out of
this bottomless pit
00:17:04.02\00:17:07.46
like the smoke of a
furnace come the creatures,
00:17:07.49\00:17:11.26
like the
scorpions and the locusts,
00:17:11.29\00:17:13.53
which is
symbolic of evil spirits
00:17:13.56\00:17:15.93
that take over the world.
00:17:15.96\00:17:18.13
The world is going to
become demon infested.
00:17:18.17\00:17:23.17
That is why you and I ought
to become serious Christians
00:17:23.20\00:17:28.18
and stop messing
around with our lives.
00:17:28.21\00:17:32.88
And why we got to
start reading the Bible?
00:17:32.91\00:17:35.22
I have been preaching
to people read your Bible.
00:17:35.25\00:17:37.75
Do you read your Bible? "No.
00:17:37.79\00:17:40.12
Too hard to read."
00:17:40.16\00:17:41.99
I've had folks say
to me in Australia,
00:17:42.02\00:17:43.86
"Oh, we just want
now funny stories.
00:17:43.89\00:17:47.90
And what's on at
the next pot luck?
00:17:47.93\00:17:50.90
Is it going to
be lots more sugar,"
00:17:50.93\00:17:52.87
so it will make us
even more brain dead?
00:17:52.90\00:17:57.57
Come on what's wrong with us?
00:17:57.61\00:17:59.31
Are we crazy?
00:17:59.34\00:18:00.81
Part of my saying
this, "Are we stupid?"
00:18:00.84\00:18:05.31
We need to realize
the times in which we live
00:18:05.35\00:18:10.35
and break out all the lethargy
00:18:10.39\00:18:15.49
that seems to be
swallowing up the church.
00:18:15.52\00:18:20.20
Look at verses 7, 8,
and 10 of Revelation.
00:18:20.23\00:18:24.30
7, 8, and 10.
00:18:24.33\00:18:25.87
"The shape of the
locusts was like horses
00:18:25.90\00:18:29.30
prepared for battle."
00:18:29.34\00:18:30.67
This is the battle.
00:18:30.71\00:18:32.41
"On their heads were
crowns of something like gold
00:18:32.44\00:18:35.74
and their faces were
like the faces of men."
00:18:35.78\00:18:38.78
Intelligent.
00:18:38.81\00:18:40.38
"They had hair
like women's hair,"
00:18:40.42\00:18:41.92
seductive, seductive,
00:18:41.95\00:18:44.35
"and their teeth
were like lions' teeth.
00:18:44.39\00:18:47.52
They had tails like scorpions,
00:18:47.56\00:18:50.23
and there were
stings in their tails.
00:18:50.26\00:18:52.79
Their power was to
hurt men for five months."
00:18:52.83\00:18:55.83
Now human faces,
00:18:55.86\00:18:59.50
beautiful gorgeous hair,
00:18:59.53\00:19:01.77
and their power...
00:19:01.80\00:19:03.14
It says in another
text, the power, it says,
00:19:03.17\00:19:05.37
was in their mouths.
00:19:05.41\00:19:07.64
So they preach false doctrine.
00:19:07.68\00:19:10.31
They preach soothing
sermons to put people to sleep.
00:19:10.35\00:19:17.19
And then the
stingers in the tail.
00:19:17.22\00:19:21.12
Now I've got a
message for you today
00:19:24.43\00:19:26.56
'cause we got to
study these seven trumpets.
00:19:26.59\00:19:30.37
These demons are
even now, as we speak,
00:19:30.40\00:19:34.24
ascending out of
the bottomless pit.
00:19:34.27\00:19:37.47
They are coming.
00:19:37.51\00:19:39.77
They are being led
by Abaddon Napoleon.
00:19:39.81\00:19:44.81
Satan and Lucifer.
00:19:44.85\00:19:48.05
What should we do?
00:19:48.08\00:19:51.29
Believe in Jesus
and read His word
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.15
and stop just being
emotional weaklings.
00:19:53.19\00:19:56.22
Some people say,
"Oh, I just feel...
00:19:56.26\00:19:57.66
Like I'm so..."
00:19:57.69\00:19:59.26
Let's get over how I feel.
00:19:59.29\00:20:00.86
Let us be people who
stand on the Word of God.
00:20:00.90\00:20:05.33
A dear friend of
mine in Australia
00:20:05.37\00:20:07.04
who's coming with us to
Manila is Dr. John Hammond.
00:20:07.07\00:20:12.41
Great guy.
00:20:12.44\00:20:14.54
He's been in heathen countries
00:20:14.58\00:20:16.78
where the spirits would
appear is I don't believe it.
00:20:16.81\00:20:19.61
Of course you don't.
00:20:19.65\00:20:22.25
Of course you don't,
but one day you will.
00:20:22.28\00:20:26.25
We went into the home of a lady
00:20:26.29\00:20:29.36
who started
coming to my meetings.
00:20:29.39\00:20:32.19
We went there
because she asked us to come.
00:20:32.23\00:20:36.03
I went into the house.
00:20:39.07\00:20:40.54
My hair stood up in
the back of my neck.
00:20:40.57\00:20:44.04
I knew I was in
the presence of evil.
00:20:44.07\00:20:47.61
The curtain rods would
come out and float around
00:20:47.64\00:20:50.65
and chase the family
members around the room.
00:20:50.68\00:20:52.95
No, no, of course, not
00:20:52.98\00:20:55.45
because you haven't seen it.
00:20:55.48\00:20:57.09
It's happening.
00:20:57.12\00:20:58.45
When she'd get
into bed at night,
00:21:01.22\00:21:02.96
a being would
get into bed with her
00:21:06.29\00:21:08.03
and it wasn't her
husband 'cause he's left her.
00:21:08.06\00:21:12.27
We got her down on her knees.
00:21:12.30\00:21:13.64
We prayed off through the night.
00:21:13.67\00:21:15.44
John Hammond
continued the story.
00:21:15.47\00:21:17.61
We felt the tremendous,
overwhelming forces of evil.
00:21:17.64\00:21:22.31
We cried out in
the name of Jesus.
00:21:22.34\00:21:26.31
Jesus is Lord.
00:21:26.35\00:21:28.68
Read the Word.
00:21:28.72\00:21:31.45
My son David goes to
India quite regularly
00:21:31.49\00:21:35.72
because we have
a ministry there.
00:21:35.76\00:21:37.56
When we go to India,
00:21:37.59\00:21:39.89
we are graphing the demons.
00:21:39.93\00:21:45.37
Pastor Hammond and I
went into this big temple.
00:21:45.40\00:21:49.14
Soon as we went in,
00:21:49.17\00:21:51.91
hair on the back
of my neck went up.
00:21:51.94\00:21:55.88
The priest was there.
00:21:55.91\00:21:57.31
He was calling for
the demons to come.
00:21:57.35\00:21:59.78
He said, "Come in."
00:21:59.81\00:22:01.15
We said, "No, no,
we're not gonna come in,
00:22:01.18\00:22:02.88
gonna stand out here and cry out
00:22:02.92\00:22:04.82
in the name of the Lord."
00:22:04.85\00:22:06.19
But we wanna see
what's happening here.
00:22:06.22\00:22:07.76
He was crying out
and bringing the demons.
00:22:07.79\00:22:10.79
In this part of the world,
00:22:10.83\00:22:12.79
they have millions
and millions of demons
00:22:12.83\00:22:18.07
and they worship them.
00:22:18.10\00:22:19.90
I have felt them.
00:22:19.93\00:22:21.30
I have felt the power.
00:22:21.34\00:22:23.47
I've seen it.
00:22:23.51\00:22:24.84
When I ran the
meetings in the Dallas Brooks
00:22:24.87\00:22:26.44
in Melbourne,
00:22:26.47\00:22:27.98
the leaders of this cult,
00:22:28.01\00:22:31.61
the spirit came to the meetings
00:22:31.65\00:22:34.42
to get me to change sides.
00:22:34.45\00:22:37.75
It's true.
00:22:37.79\00:22:39.15
But I preached that night
with the power of God upon me,
00:22:39.19\00:22:42.62
God came upon me.
00:22:42.66\00:22:44.36
The Spirit of God came upon me.
00:22:44.39\00:22:46.49
These people
came down the front,
00:22:46.53\00:22:48.66
gave their lives to Christ,
00:22:48.70\00:22:50.13
and we baptized
every one of them.
00:22:50.17\00:22:52.50
So Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
is Lord over the demons.
00:22:52.53\00:22:58.27
But with most people,
00:22:58.31\00:23:00.91
the devil doesn't care
'cause he's got them already.
00:23:00.94\00:23:04.81
You know the story of Napoleon?
00:23:04.85\00:23:07.98
After he was
beaten by the British
00:23:08.02\00:23:10.75
on the fields of Waterloo,
00:23:10.79\00:23:13.96
he got his generals around him
00:23:13.99\00:23:16.32
and he pointed to
England and he said,
00:23:16.36\00:23:18.46
"But for that one red spot,
00:23:18.49\00:23:20.06
I would have
conquered the whole wide world."
00:23:20.10\00:23:22.06
That one red spot.
00:23:22.10\00:23:23.43
And after Calvary, Lucifer
00:23:26.50\00:23:30.51
got his demons around him.
00:23:30.54\00:23:34.14
And in anger, he
pointed to Calvary and he said,
00:23:34.18\00:23:38.38
"But for that one red spot,
00:23:38.41\00:23:40.12
I would have
conquered the whole world."
00:23:40.15\00:23:43.62
Jesus defeated
Satan on the cross.
00:23:43.65\00:23:49.96
Satan is a defeated foe.
00:23:49.99\00:23:53.53
But if you don't
believe in Jesus,
00:23:53.56\00:23:56.06
that devil's got
you by the throat.
00:23:56.10\00:23:59.97
Therefore, I
say to the audience,
00:24:00.00\00:24:03.91
believe in Jesus,
00:24:03.94\00:24:05.97
read the Bible.
00:24:06.01\00:24:07.64
Don't take this lightly.
00:24:07.68\00:24:09.04
Believe in the God
who believes in you.
00:24:09.08\00:24:11.75
Look at Revelation 19:11-13.
00:24:15.88\00:24:18.72
Revelation 19:11-13.
00:24:18.75\00:24:22.26
"Now I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse.
00:24:22.29\00:24:25.03
And He who sat on him
was called Faithful and True.
00:24:25.06\00:24:27.93
And in righteousness,
He judges and makes war.
00:24:27.96\00:24:30.67
His eyes were
like a flame of fire,
00:24:30.70\00:24:33.50
and on His heads
were many crowns.
00:24:33.54\00:24:35.70
He had a name written that
no one knew except Himself.
00:24:35.74\00:24:39.24
He was clothed with
a robe dipped in blood,
00:24:39.27\00:24:42.24
and His name is
called The Word of God."
00:24:42.28\00:24:44.25
The Bible says He comes back.
00:24:44.28\00:24:47.68
A mighty conqueror doesn't
come back as a little baby.
00:24:47.72\00:24:51.45
He comes back as the
lion of the tribe of Judah.
00:24:51.49\00:24:54.69
And the Bible tells us
00:24:54.72\00:24:56.56
that Satan and his evil angels
00:24:56.59\00:25:00.63
and all who follow him
are going to be destroyed.
00:25:00.66\00:25:05.73
And then the Bible tells us,
00:25:09.24\00:25:12.34
God is going to
make a new heaven
00:25:12.37\00:25:17.75
and a new earth.
00:25:17.78\00:25:20.62
So listen, Jesus wins.
00:25:20.65\00:25:26.12
And if you are with Jesus,
00:25:26.15\00:25:29.32
you'll win too.
00:25:29.36\00:25:32.56
And therefore, I
asked you to do this today.
00:25:32.59\00:25:34.76
Listen carefully.
00:25:34.80\00:25:37.23
Believe in the God
who believed in you.
00:25:37.27\00:25:39.43
Don't go by your emotions.
00:25:39.47\00:25:42.44
Believe in the script.
00:25:42.47\00:25:43.81
It is written, "Man
shall not live by bread alone
00:25:43.84\00:25:46.01
but by every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God."
00:25:46.04\00:25:48.94
Read your Bible every day.
00:25:48.98\00:25:53.38
You don't need to
be afraid of the devil
00:25:53.42\00:25:57.29
because Jesus
defeated him at the cross.
00:25:57.32\00:26:02.56
And Jesus is Lord over all.
00:26:02.59\00:26:07.16
Amen and Amen.
00:26:07.20\00:26:09.60
The Word began in a village.
00:26:14.84\00:26:18.17
Churches and schools
sprang up and multiplied,
00:26:18.21\00:26:22.84
reaching into the city.
00:26:22.88\00:26:26.28
Great truths revealed
00:26:26.31\00:26:27.95
to the people of
Papua New Guinea,
00:26:27.98\00:26:30.72
changing thousands of lives.
00:26:30.75\00:26:33.86
Our eyes are going to
be opened to the discovery
00:26:33.89\00:26:38.59
of amazing truths,
00:26:38.63\00:26:40.86
the greatest truth in the Bible.
00:26:40.90\00:26:42.66
It is the truth
that God loves you.
00:26:42.70\00:26:46.43
It has
completely changed my life,
00:26:46.47\00:26:48.34
and I'm going to be
baptized this Sabbath.
00:26:48.37\00:26:50.61
Pastor Carter has
put something in my heart
00:26:50.64\00:26:53.07
that I will never forget.
00:26:53.11\00:26:54.44
Thank you, Pastor
Carter, for your program.
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.54
It has changed
my life completely.

Greater Manila is
more than 20 million souls.
00:27:16.33\00:27:19.77
Almost all these
beautiful people are ignorant
00:27:19.80\00:27:22.40
of the true gospel of Christ.
00:27:22.44\00:27:24.57
Manila needs Jesus.
00:27:24.61\00:27:26.54

Don't water down the message.
00:27:37.95\00:27:39.89
Make it plain, make it clear,
00:27:39.92\00:27:42.16
make it Christ-centered.
