Right here in Communist China.

00:00:16.54\00:00:18.61
Hi, I'm John Carter

00:00:26.49\00:00:29.76
Today an in-depth
study of Constantine
00:00:29.79\00:00:33.36
and the Mark of the Beast.
00:00:33.40\00:00:36.87
Welcome back.
00:00:36.90\00:00:38.23
We're talking about
when Constantine rides again,
00:00:38.27\00:00:42.57
Constantine and
the Mark of the Beast.
00:00:42.60\00:00:46.94
In the last program,
00:00:46.98\00:00:48.31
we talked about
the great falling away
00:00:48.34\00:00:49.78
that happened in
the Christian church
00:00:49.81\00:00:52.01
when Constantine
became the emperor
00:00:52.05\00:00:54.52
and set up a theocracy.
00:00:54.55\00:00:57.72
And what we're saying today
00:00:57.75\00:00:59.09
is that what
happened back in the third,
00:00:59.12\00:01:02.12
and the fourth,
and the fifth centuries
00:01:02.16\00:01:04.96
is going to be
repeated on a worldwide scale
00:01:04.99\00:01:08.60
starting right here
00:01:08.63\00:01:10.37
in the United States of America.
00:01:10.40\00:01:13.30
So we're talking about
00:01:13.34\00:01:14.74
the coming of a new Constantine.
00:01:14.77\00:01:18.87
When firmly
established the Roman Church,
00:01:18.91\00:01:23.95
instead of the old pagan Rome
00:01:23.98\00:01:27.55
became the
persecutor of heretics.
00:01:27.58\00:01:31.32
And in Europe,
you had a theocracy
00:01:31.35\00:01:33.56
that lasted for
more than 1,000 years.
00:01:33.59\00:01:36.52
It's going to happen again.
00:01:36.56\00:01:38.66
I want you to take your Bibles
00:01:38.69\00:01:40.03
and come over here
to Revelation 17:1-3,
00:01:40.06\00:01:44.60
dear hearts and gentle people,
00:01:44.63\00:01:47.14
Revelation 17:1-3
00:01:47.17\00:01:50.84
and notice it
please in the Bible.
00:01:50.87\00:01:54.34
"Then one of the seven angels
00:01:54.38\00:01:55.74
who had the seven bowls
came and talked with me,
00:01:55.78\00:01:57.85
saying to me,
'Come, I will show you
00:01:57.88\00:01:59.41
the judgment of the great harlot
00:01:59.45\00:02:01.72
who sits on many waters.'"
00:02:01.75\00:02:03.35
Listen to me,
00:02:03.39\00:02:04.72
in Bible prophecy a woman
is a symbol of the church.
00:02:04.75\00:02:09.39
A good woman is the good church,
00:02:09.42\00:02:12.39
and a bad woman or the harlot
00:02:12.43\00:02:14.73
is the symbol of the bad church,
00:02:14.76\00:02:17.33
or the Antichrist church.
00:02:17.37\00:02:19.67
And verse 2 says,
"With whom the kings
00:02:19.70\00:02:21.44
of the earth
committed fornication..."
00:02:21.47\00:02:23.51
They got married to this church.
00:02:23.54\00:02:26.24
"And the inhabitants of
the earth were made drunk
00:02:26.27\00:02:28.48
with the wine of
her fornication."
00:02:28.51\00:02:31.55
And on holy alliance.
00:02:31.58\00:02:33.85
"So he carried me away
00:02:33.88\00:02:35.32
in the Spirit
into the wilderness.
00:02:35.35\00:02:37.12
And I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast
00:02:37.15\00:02:39.99
which was full of
names of blasphemy,
00:02:40.02\00:02:42.49
having seven
heads and ten horns."
00:02:42.52\00:02:45.39
All commentators know
whether they're Roman Catholic
00:02:45.43\00:02:48.96
or Jewish or Protestant,
00:02:49.00\00:02:50.87
they all know
that in Bible prophecy,
00:02:50.90\00:02:53.37
a woman represents the church.
00:02:53.40\00:02:56.14
And this harlot woman here
00:02:56.17\00:02:57.91
represents the
great Antichrist church.
00:02:57.94\00:03:02.21
And if you notice
now in Revelation 17:4-5,
00:03:02.24\00:03:07.12
"The woman was arrayed
with purple and scarlet,
00:03:07.15\00:03:12.25
and adorned with gold and
precious stones and pearls,
00:03:12.29\00:03:16.62
"she is filthy rich,
00:03:16.66\00:03:18.79
"having in her hand
00:03:18.83\00:03:20.50
a golden cup
full of abominations
00:03:20.53\00:03:23.90
and the filthiness
of her fornication."
00:03:23.93\00:03:27.60
And verse 6 says, look at this,
00:03:27.64\00:03:29.90
"I saw the woman," the church,
00:03:29.94\00:03:33.88
"drunk with the
blood of the saints
00:03:33.91\00:03:35.98
and with a blood of
the martyrs of Jesus.
00:03:36.01\00:03:39.95
And when I saw her,
00:03:39.98\00:03:41.65
I marveled with
great amazement."
00:03:41.68\00:03:44.85
Here is a church.
00:03:44.89\00:03:47.89
Hey, are you listening?
00:03:47.92\00:03:50.99
What's going on
today in America?
00:03:51.03\00:03:53.13
Does anybody read
these prophecies anymore
00:03:53.16\00:03:56.90
or are they...
00:03:56.93\00:03:58.30
Have they become
so politically correct
00:03:58.33\00:04:00.80
that they're not
interested in the truth?
00:04:00.84\00:04:03.91
Now here you got a
woman, that's the church,
00:04:03.94\00:04:06.51
and she's riding the beast,
00:04:06.54\00:04:08.74
and the beast is the state.
00:04:08.78\00:04:13.38
That happened in the Dark Ages.
00:04:13.42\00:04:15.85
And when the church
was riding the state,
00:04:15.88\00:04:18.42
millions of people were tortured
00:04:18.45\00:04:21.26
and they were put to death.
00:04:21.29\00:04:23.49
That's the great
Antichrist of Bible prophecy
00:04:23.53\00:04:27.16
and it started in
the days of Constantine.
00:04:27.20\00:04:31.37
Now please,
will you notice 17:18
00:04:31.40\00:04:38.01
because it tells you
00:04:38.04\00:04:39.37
where you can find
this corrupt system.
00:04:39.41\00:04:42.58
"And the woman of the church,
00:04:42.61\00:04:44.88
whom you saw is that great city
00:04:44.91\00:04:49.02
which reigns over
the kings of the earth."
00:04:49.05\00:04:52.55
Now listen, my friend,
00:04:52.59\00:04:55.26
you don't have to be a minister,
00:04:55.29\00:04:57.53
you don't need
to be a theologian,
00:04:57.56\00:05:00.10
you don't need
to be a politician,
00:05:00.13\00:05:02.46
you just need to know a
little bit about history.
00:05:02.50\00:05:05.67
History tells me
that the great city
00:05:05.70\00:05:09.14
that reigned over
the kings of the earth
00:05:09.17\00:05:11.71
in the days of the New Testament
00:05:11.74\00:05:14.81
was the great city of Rome.
00:05:14.84\00:05:20.18
And so here is a church
that is joined to the state,
00:05:20.22\00:05:24.62
and the Bible says her
headquarters are in Rome.
00:05:24.65\00:05:30.29
Now I come back to the question
we asked in the first segment.
00:05:30.33\00:05:34.93
Whatever happened
to the words of Jesus,
00:05:34.96\00:05:38.23
my kingdom is not of this world.
00:05:38.27\00:05:40.94
Jesus said, "My
ministers are not going to get
00:05:40.97\00:05:45.44
involved in politics.
00:05:45.47\00:05:48.98
My church is not going
00:05:49.01\00:05:50.41
to employ
lobbyists in Washington.
00:05:50.45\00:05:56.18
My church is going to have
00:05:56.22\00:05:57.92
one great calling
and one great mission."
00:05:57.95\00:06:01.76
You know what it is?
00:06:01.79\00:06:03.12
It is to preach
the Gospel of Jesus.
00:06:03.16\00:06:06.93
My kingdom is not of this world,
00:06:06.96\00:06:09.36
but these people
got so far from God,
00:06:09.40\00:06:13.07
it was their mission to
bring the Kingdom of God
00:06:13.10\00:06:16.91
into this world
through legislation
00:06:16.94\00:06:21.81
and through force.
00:06:21.84\00:06:24.71
All this was the product
of a Christian theocracy,
00:06:24.75\00:06:29.45
the woman riding on the beast.
00:06:29.48\00:06:32.85
I want you to
look at the screen.
00:06:32.89\00:06:36.12
These are not
very nice pictures,
00:06:36.16\00:06:40.00
but these pictures illustrate
00:06:40.03\00:06:44.13
what was done
when the church joined
00:06:44.17\00:06:47.00
with the state
and persecuted people
00:06:47.04\00:06:50.11
who had
different points of view.
00:06:50.14\00:06:53.24
Hundreds of thousands,
00:06:53.27\00:06:54.91
even millions were tortured
and they were put to death
00:06:54.94\00:07:00.28
by a Christian theocracy.
00:07:00.32\00:07:04.45
And people in America say to me,
00:07:04.49\00:07:06.55
"Oh Jesus, bring back
a Christian theocracy."
00:07:06.59\00:07:10.56
Edmund Burke, a
British philosopher
00:07:13.66\00:07:16.20
who lived 1729-1797 said,
00:07:16.23\00:07:20.04
"Those who don't know history
00:07:20.07\00:07:22.80
are destined to repeat it."
00:07:22.84\00:07:27.98
Can I tell you one of
the greatest tragedies
00:07:28.01\00:07:29.78
in America?
00:07:29.81\00:07:31.71
Many Americans have forgotten
what made America America,
00:07:31.75\00:07:37.22
because people
came to this country
00:07:37.25\00:07:39.12
because they were sick
00:07:39.15\00:07:41.46
of a Christian
system of government,
00:07:41.49\00:07:47.23
sick of this
Christian theocracy.
00:07:47.26\00:07:50.90
This lasted in Europe
for more than 1,000 years.
00:07:50.93\00:07:56.30
Millions of people,
Catholics, Protestants,
00:07:56.34\00:07:59.01
Jews, and Muslims tortured,
00:07:59.04\00:08:02.14
torn apart by Christian leaders
00:08:02.18\00:08:07.62
all in the name of Jesus
00:08:07.65\00:08:10.62
to bring in the Kingdom of God.
00:08:10.65\00:08:14.19
Finally, across
Europe that had experienced
00:08:14.22\00:08:16.69
a time of great moral
and intellectual darkness
00:08:16.73\00:08:21.16
for more than 1,000 years,
00:08:21.20\00:08:23.60
the Gospel Son arose with light,
00:08:23.63\00:08:25.93
healing, and prosperity.
00:08:25.97\00:08:28.50
After the night
always comes the morning.
00:08:28.54\00:08:31.67
Martin Luther came preaching.
00:08:31.71\00:08:34.28
People say, "Oh, no, he
must have been offended."
00:08:34.31\00:08:35.94
No, no, no, he was a hero.
00:08:35.98\00:08:38.38
John Knox came preaching.
00:08:38.41\00:08:42.55
The light of the Protestant
Reformation revolution
00:08:42.58\00:08:46.42
burst upon the world.
00:08:46.45\00:08:51.73
Darkness fled
before the rising sun.
00:08:51.76\00:08:56.90
Now finally, from
England and Europe,
00:08:56.93\00:09:02.14
brave men and women
set sail for America
00:09:02.17\00:09:07.51
where the air was
free, and men and women
00:09:07.54\00:09:11.28
did not wear chains.
00:09:11.31\00:09:15.48
What I find another
great source of consternation,
00:09:15.52\00:09:20.29
it appears to this
pilgrim that so many Americans
00:09:20.32\00:09:25.59
have forgotten what
made America America.
00:09:25.63\00:09:31.90
The Pilgrims fathers...
00:09:31.93\00:09:33.30
Hold on, who were they?
00:09:33.34\00:09:36.04
They were people
who came to America
00:09:36.07\00:09:38.87
to establish a
church without a pope
00:09:38.91\00:09:42.28
and a state without a king.
00:09:42.31\00:09:46.01
You see?
00:09:46.05\00:09:48.25
Lots of Americans don't
know this, forgotten it.
00:09:48.28\00:09:51.02
They came to America
to escape the despotism
00:09:54.56\00:09:59.23
and the persecution
of a religious theocracy.
00:09:59.26\00:10:03.80
And now many of their children
00:10:03.83\00:10:05.57
are in Washington loving
00:10:05.60\00:10:08.30
the setup of
Christian theocracy.
00:10:08.34\00:10:12.57
They will not setup
a Christian theocracy,
00:10:12.61\00:10:14.74
they will setup Antichrist.
00:10:14.78\00:10:17.28
No! Yes.
00:10:17.31\00:10:20.72
Please be informed.
00:10:20.75\00:10:24.55
Today, many have forgotten
what made America great.
00:10:24.59\00:10:27.49
And they want to take
us back to the theocracy
00:10:27.52\00:10:30.39
of the Dark Ages.
00:10:30.43\00:10:34.13
Let me remind you of
some of the silly laws
00:10:34.16\00:10:36.60
that came from a
theocratic type of government
00:10:36.63\00:10:40.10
that is when the state
is enforcing religious laws.
00:10:40.14\00:10:45.77
John Calvin, one of the
great Protestant scholars
00:10:45.81\00:10:48.31
and a remarkable man,
00:10:48.34\00:10:50.45
he gave to the world the
doctrine of predestination
00:10:50.48\00:10:53.45
that some of us don't like.
00:10:53.48\00:10:56.38
Activities forbidden in Geneva
"Feasting, dancing, singing,
00:10:56.42\00:11:01.12
pictures, statues,
relics, church bells, organs,
00:11:01.16\00:11:04.96
altar candles, indecent
or irreligious songs, staging
00:11:04.99\00:11:09.36
or attending
theatrical plays, wearing rouge,
00:11:09.40\00:11:12.90
that's the red stuff
ladies put on their cheeks
00:11:12.93\00:11:15.57
so used to, jewelry,
lace or immodest dress,
00:11:15.60\00:11:19.71
speaking
disrespectfully of your betters,
00:11:19.74\00:11:24.21
extravagant entertainment,

swearing, gambling,
playing cards, hunting,
00:11:26.11\00:11:29.02
drunkenness, naming
children after anyone
00:11:29.05\00:11:32.39
but figures in
the Old Testament,
00:11:32.42\00:11:34.62
reading immoral or
irreligious books."
00:11:34.66\00:11:37.83
I believe that some of
these things are wrong.
00:11:37.86\00:11:41.56
That it is not the church's
job to enforce their laws.
00:11:41.60\00:11:46.97
It took a long time even
for the Protestant reformers
00:11:47.00\00:11:49.54
to get away from a theocracy.

00:11:53.78\00:11:56.28
was jailed for four days.
00:11:56.31\00:12:00.52
In the days of John
Calvin called his boy Claude,
00:12:00.55\00:12:03.25
lock him up four days.
00:12:03.28\00:12:05.69
When religious people
00:12:05.72\00:12:07.26
use the state to
enforce religious laws,
00:12:07.29\00:12:10.36
the result is persecution.
00:12:10.39\00:12:12.66
Not Christ, but Antichrist.
00:12:12.69\00:12:15.50
You see, my friend,
00:12:15.53\00:12:18.47
God has given us
freedom of choice.
00:12:18.50\00:12:21.94
God says, "Serve Me
because you love Me,
00:12:21.97\00:12:24.11
not because you're
forced to serve Me."
00:12:24.14\00:12:27.48
Legislation
cannot change the heart.
00:12:27.51\00:12:30.58
That is why I am
appalled by ministers
00:12:30.61\00:12:35.98
and vast religious
groups that try to use
00:12:36.02\00:12:39.69
the power of
the state to enforce
00:12:39.72\00:12:43.16
the teachings of their church.
00:12:43.19\00:12:46.66
That is
un-American, unchristian,
00:12:46.70\00:12:49.23
and evil.
00:12:52.53\00:12:55.64
Christian lobbyist,
00:12:55.67\00:12:57.51
one day I was
cleaning my car on a Sunday,
00:12:57.54\00:13:00.38
person came by and said,
00:13:00.41\00:13:02.14
"We're seeking, we're
going around everybody,
00:13:02.18\00:13:04.11
we're seeking to
get votes for our pastor
00:13:04.15\00:13:07.68
who's gonna run for Congress."
00:13:07.72\00:13:09.28
I said, "What's wrong with him?"
00:13:09.32\00:13:11.85
Oh, he wants to
get through Congress.
00:13:11.89\00:13:14.42
We want to make
this a Christian nation.
00:13:14.46\00:13:18.49
Well, they talked
to the wrong person.
00:13:18.53\00:13:22.13
That is a delusion.
00:13:22.16\00:13:23.70
That is a snare.
00:13:23.73\00:13:25.73
Jesus said, "You
got to be born again."
00:13:25.77\00:13:28.10
Legislation can change
00:13:28.14\00:13:30.77
the outward action,
00:13:30.81\00:13:34.78
but it cannot change the heart,
00:13:34.81\00:13:36.81
only the Gospel of
Christ can change the heart
00:13:36.85\00:13:39.51
and society needs a new heart.
00:13:39.55\00:13:42.45
Ministers ought to
stop their politicking
00:13:42.48\00:13:46.09
and start preaching
the Gospel of Christ.
00:13:46.12\00:13:49.59
How amazing?
00:13:49.62\00:13:50.96
You turn on television
00:13:50.99\00:13:52.33
and there you've
got all these ministers
00:13:52.36\00:13:54.03
and they're talking
politics, politics, politics
00:13:54.06\00:13:57.37
that's because they've
lost their souls to the devil.
00:13:57.40\00:14:02.30
Oh, that's too strong.
No, I can say it stronger.
00:14:02.34\00:14:06.24
Listen to me, a minister
is called to preach Christ
00:14:06.27\00:14:12.01
and the gospel.
00:14:12.05\00:14:13.75
The gospel saves,
not Washington, DC.
00:14:13.78\00:14:19.09
What's wrong with people?
00:14:19.12\00:14:20.89
If you don't remember the past,
00:14:20.92\00:14:22.42
you're going to
commit its errors.
00:14:22.46\00:14:23.79
Here's another one.
00:14:27.30\00:14:28.63
This is from the
Code of Connecticut.
00:14:28.66\00:14:30.00
Can you believe it?
00:14:30.03\00:14:31.37
"No one shall
run on the Sabbath."
00:14:31.40\00:14:32.73
This is the state law,
"Or walk in his garden,
00:14:32.77\00:14:35.90
or elsewhere
except reverently to
00:14:35.94\00:14:37.64
and from meeting.
00:14:37.67\00:14:39.57
No one shall travel,
cook victuals, make beds,
00:14:39.61\00:14:42.18
sweep house, cut hair,
or shave on the Sabbath.
00:14:42.21\00:14:46.15
If any man shall kiss
his wife or wife her husband
00:14:46.18\00:14:48.78
on the Lord's Day, Sunday,
00:14:48.82\00:14:50.69
the party in
fault shall be punished
00:14:50.72\00:14:53.02
at the discretion of
the court of magistrates."
00:14:53.05\00:14:58.99
That's Constantine,
that is in Connecticut.
00:14:59.03\00:15:01.03
You laugh about this,
it's going to happen again.
00:15:01.06\00:15:04.53
And it just won't
be kissing your wife.
00:15:04.57\00:15:05.90
The genius of America.
00:15:10.27\00:15:11.87
The genius of America is
seen in the Constitution.
00:15:16.44\00:15:20.22
Some people say we
hate the Constitution,
00:15:20.25\00:15:21.82
we gotta get rid of it.
00:15:21.85\00:15:26.15
They are dangerous words.
00:15:26.19\00:15:27.92
The First Amendment said,
00:15:27.96\00:15:29.29
"Congress shall
make no law respecting
00:15:29.32\00:15:32.13
an establishment of religion."
00:15:32.16\00:15:34.66
Congress has got no right
00:15:34.70\00:15:37.17
to setup a church.
00:15:37.20\00:15:42.00
Some of you look at me
and say you don't believe it.
00:15:42.04\00:15:44.47
Where were you born I ask you?
00:15:44.51\00:15:47.14
Surely not here in America.
00:15:47.18\00:15:49.71
You must have been born
in some oppressive place,
00:15:49.74\00:15:52.35
where church and
state work together."
00:15:52.38\00:15:55.18
Or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof."
00:15:55.22\00:15:58.85
I can practice
my faith in America
00:15:58.89\00:16:01.69
at present and preach
00:16:01.72\00:16:03.29
what I want to preach, you see?"
00:16:03.32\00:16:07.03
Or abridging the freedom
00:16:07.06\00:16:08.80
of speech, or of the press."
00:16:08.83\00:16:13.90
If you get rid of
freedom of expression
00:16:13.94\00:16:18.14
or the freedom of the press,
00:16:18.17\00:16:20.91
you go down the road
00:16:20.94\00:16:22.68
of the communists and the Nazis.
00:16:22.71\00:16:26.65
You may not like the
press, I may not like the press,
00:16:26.68\00:16:30.29
but a world or
country without the press
00:16:30.32\00:16:32.85
is a very, very sad,
00:16:36.46\00:16:38.09
desolate, dark,
and awful place."
00:16:38.13\00:16:42.30
Or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble,
00:16:42.33\00:16:45.53
and to petition the government
00:16:45.57\00:16:46.97
for a redress of grievances."
00:16:47.00\00:16:49.27
Thomas Jefferson, you know,
00:16:49.30\00:16:51.67
I meet people all the time
00:16:51.71\00:16:53.94
who say, we'd like to get
rid of this First Amendment
00:16:53.98\00:16:57.21
because we want to
have a Christian nation.
00:16:57.25\00:17:01.85
We want to
enforce religious laws,
00:17:01.88\00:17:04.59
we want to change society.
00:17:04.62\00:17:07.52
Thomas Jefferson said this
00:17:07.56\00:17:09.96
in a letter to
Dansbury Baptists,
00:17:09.99\00:17:13.80
"Believing with you
that religion is a matter
00:17:13.83\00:17:16.36
which lies solely
between man and his God."
00:17:16.40\00:17:20.50
My religion is
between me and my God."
00:17:20.54\00:17:23.71
That he owes
account to none other
00:17:27.44\00:17:29.21
for his faith or worship,
00:17:29.24\00:17:32.31
that the legitimate powers
00:17:32.35\00:17:33.95
of government
reach actions only,
00:17:33.98\00:17:37.09
"they reach actions
only, "and not opinions.
00:17:37.12\00:17:41.92
I contemplate with
sovereign reverence
00:17:41.96\00:17:45.69
the act of the
whole American people
00:17:45.73\00:17:48.40
which declared
that their legislature
00:17:48.43\00:17:51.33
should make no law
00:17:51.37\00:17:52.70
respecting an
establishment of religion
00:17:52.73\00:17:56.20
or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof,
00:17:56.24\00:17:59.37
thus building a
wall of separation
00:17:59.41\00:18:02.04
between church and state."
00:18:02.08\00:18:03.41
I've turned on television.
00:18:03.45\00:18:05.65
I've had famous
religious preachers say,
00:18:05.68\00:18:08.48
"We are opposed
to the separation
00:18:08.52\00:18:11.62
of church and state."
00:18:11.65\00:18:15.59
They're getting to
ride with Constantine.
00:18:15.62\00:18:18.96
In fact, they may be
00:18:18.99\00:18:22.46
the new Constantine.
00:18:22.50\00:18:26.13
I say these
words kindly of people
00:18:26.17\00:18:31.01
who are ignorant of history
00:18:31.04\00:18:33.24
are condemned to
repeat the errors of history.
00:18:33.27\00:18:38.71
And that statement on
the separation of church
00:18:38.75\00:18:40.55
and state does not mean that
00:18:40.58\00:18:42.88
the state should be
antagonistic to religion
00:18:42.92\00:18:45.45
as it is often in California.
00:18:45.49\00:18:51.16
But it means
that there is no place
00:18:51.19\00:18:52.89
for a theocracy in America.
00:18:52.93\00:18:57.43
Now I'll look into the future
00:18:57.47\00:19:01.67
and Constantine rides again.
00:19:01.70\00:19:05.37
When we went to Texas,
part of the Bible Belt,
00:19:05.41\00:19:09.14
that was 30 years ago,
00:19:09.18\00:19:13.42
we had some
wonderful experiences
00:19:13.45\00:19:15.85
and met wonderful people.
00:19:15.88\00:19:17.39
I love Texas, the
old fashioned courtesy.
00:19:17.42\00:19:21.16
I miss Texas.
00:19:21.19\00:19:22.86
They respect the decency.
00:19:22.89\00:19:24.93
Some of my best
friends are Texans.
00:19:24.96\00:19:28.10
We lived in Arlington
between Dallas and Fort Worth.
00:19:28.13\00:19:31.63
I remember talking to a
beautiful Christian lady,
00:19:31.67\00:19:35.70
one Sunday
afternoon, and she said to me,
00:19:35.74\00:19:38.87
"Wouldn't it be wonderful
00:19:38.91\00:19:40.64
when Jesus is
president of America."
00:19:40.68\00:19:46.41
And America is a
Christian country,
00:19:46.45\00:19:51.52
not just Texas.
00:19:51.55\00:19:55.56
In Thousand Oaks,
00:19:55.59\00:19:56.93
where we live
after one election,
00:19:56.96\00:19:59.73
some time back, a
lady drove up and down
00:19:59.76\00:20:02.80
the street with a big
sign saying, "Hallelujah.
00:20:02.83\00:20:06.17
Jesus won." Jesus won.
00:20:06.20\00:20:11.17
Jesus has got a political party.
00:20:11.21\00:20:13.24
Yes, He's got a... Has he?
00:20:13.27\00:20:17.38
You're getting into
bed with Constantine.
00:20:17.41\00:20:21.95
Today that's the
voice of millions
00:20:21.98\00:20:23.55
of conservative
Christians in America,
00:20:23.59\00:20:27.26
and many of us are
filled with prejudice,
00:20:27.29\00:20:30.83
and we don't want
to know the truth.
00:20:30.86\00:20:34.26
I stand for the Bible,
00:20:34.30\00:20:36.97
an old
fashioned American values.
00:20:37.00\00:20:41.77
Thank you very much.
00:20:41.80\00:20:44.57
Now look at
Revelation 13:11, 13 and 14,
00:20:44.61\00:20:50.11
"Then I saw another beast
coming up out of the earth,
00:20:50.15\00:20:52.51
had two horns like a lamb,
00:20:52.55\00:20:54.08
"that's the gospel,
"spoke like a dragon."
00:20:54.12\00:20:56.55
That's what he's going to do.
00:20:56.58\00:20:57.92
"He performs great sign,
00:20:57.95\00:20:59.45
so that he makes fire come down
00:20:59.49\00:21:01.32
from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men,
00:21:01.36\00:21:03.19
and deceives those
who dwell on the earth
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.26
by those signs
that he was given power
00:21:05.29\00:21:08.06
to do in the sight of the beast,
00:21:08.10\00:21:09.96
telling those who
dwell on the earth
00:21:10.00\00:21:11.70
to make an image to the beast,
00:21:11.73\00:21:14.14
which was wounded by
the sword and lived."
00:21:14.17\00:21:16.47
You have two beasts here.
00:21:16.50\00:21:20.21
One is the beast
of the Dark Ages,
00:21:20.24\00:21:22.98
the church and
state, the theocracy,
00:21:23.01\00:21:26.11
the image of the beast
00:21:26.15\00:21:28.22
is the copy of
the church and state.
00:21:28.25\00:21:31.79
And the Bible says
that in the last days,
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.26
a power will arise that
starts at very, very good
00:21:34.29\00:21:38.43
to protect the gospel.
00:21:38.46\00:21:41.30
But it gives its
authority to the first beast,
00:21:41.33\00:21:44.63
the church of the Dark Ages
and it sets up an organization
00:21:44.67\00:21:48.70
that is a union
of church and state.
00:21:48.74\00:21:54.94
This is fundamental
00:21:54.98\00:21:58.21
American truths
00:21:58.25\00:22:01.92
that will save our
souls, but more important than
00:22:01.95\00:22:05.75
American truth
it is Bible truth.
00:22:05.79\00:22:08.69
The image of the
beast is the copy,
00:22:08.72\00:22:10.39
the union of church and state.
00:22:10.43\00:22:12.19
Intolerant
Christians who want to enforce
00:22:12.23\00:22:14.76
their religious
laws upon others.
00:22:14.80\00:22:18.20
Look at Revelation 13:15-17,
00:22:18.23\00:22:23.24
"He was granted
power to give breath
00:22:23.27\00:22:25.27
to the image of the
beast," church and state,
00:22:25.31\00:22:27.88
"that the image of the
beast," church and state,"
00:22:27.91\00:22:29.94
should both speak
00:22:29.98\00:22:31.31
and cause as many
as would not worship
00:22:31.35\00:22:32.75
the image of the
beast to be killed.
00:22:32.78\00:22:35.08
He causes all,
both small and great,
00:22:35.12\00:22:37.02
rich and poor, free
and slave to receive
00:22:37.05\00:22:39.15
a mark on their right
hand or on their foreheads
00:22:39.19\00:22:41.62
and that no one may buy
00:22:41.66\00:22:43.43
or sell except one who
has the mark of the beast,
00:22:43.46\00:22:47.40
or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name."
00:22:47.43\00:22:53.40
I know these things are
not preached much today.
00:22:53.44\00:22:56.87
I wonder why?
00:22:56.91\00:23:00.48
The Bible says the beast
00:23:00.51\00:23:02.11
is the union of
church and state.
00:23:02.14\00:23:03.81
It was the church
that Constantine started.
00:23:03.85\00:23:07.68
Then the image of the beast
00:23:07.72\00:23:09.15
is a copy of the
church and the state
00:23:09.18\00:23:12.29
and forcing religious laws
00:23:12.32\00:23:14.92
as happened in the
early days of America,
00:23:14.96\00:23:17.39
Connecticut, other
places, and in the Dark Ages
00:23:17.43\00:23:21.20
when Pontifex
Maximus was the ruler.
00:23:21.23\00:23:26.10
Religious laws that
tell you how to worship
00:23:26.13\00:23:28.74
and when to
worship and this movement
00:23:28.77\00:23:31.01
will be led by people
all in the name of Jesus.
00:23:31.04\00:23:36.98
The laws of the church
instead of the laws of God,
00:23:37.01\00:23:41.12
and they will be forced
conformity either you do it
00:23:41.15\00:23:45.99
or else we won't buy from
you, we won't sell to you.
00:23:46.02\00:23:49.36
We will boycott you,
we will put you to death.
00:23:49.39\00:23:52.79
It's the voice of the dragon.
00:23:52.83\00:23:56.03
And there will also be
another type of conformity.
00:23:56.06\00:23:59.83
It will be willing conformity,
00:23:59.87\00:24:01.94
where heaps and heaps of people
00:24:01.97\00:24:04.87
who think they are Christians
get up in a big queue,
00:24:04.91\00:24:08.88
get in a big line
and they will say me too.
00:24:08.91\00:24:13.65
Don't miss me out.
00:24:13.68\00:24:15.68
I wanted so much.
00:24:15.72\00:24:17.82
Give it to me.
00:24:17.85\00:24:19.42
I want a mark of beast.
00:24:19.45\00:24:20.96
Listen to me.
00:24:25.33\00:24:29.36
The stage work is
being set as I speak.
00:24:29.40\00:24:33.57
Let me tell you the great need.
00:24:33.60\00:24:37.74
The great need for
Christians, non-Christians,
00:24:37.77\00:24:40.38
everybody
00:24:40.41\00:24:44.31
is courage to stand alone
00:24:44.35\00:24:47.18
against the majority
for the sake of conscience.
00:24:47.22\00:24:51.52
Remember,
remember, Martin Luther,
00:24:51.55\00:24:56.42
here I stand I
can do none other.
00:24:56.46\00:25:01.16
Remember, Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
00:25:01.20\00:25:05.10
a Lutheran pastor in Germany.
00:25:05.13\00:25:08.24
Do you know how
many went with the Nazis?
00:25:08.27\00:25:12.27
Almost all.
00:25:12.31\00:25:15.78
Not this man.
00:25:15.81\00:25:17.71
In the end they strung
him up with piano wire.
00:25:17.75\00:25:21.75
Probably 99% of the
Christians said me too.
00:25:21.78\00:25:27.66
If you conform now,
you're going to conform then.
00:25:27.69\00:25:33.80
So I say to you,
God will at the end
00:25:33.83\00:25:38.87
He will have His remnant,
His Daniels, His Elijahs,
00:25:38.90\00:25:44.87
His Pauls, His Noahs.
00:25:44.91\00:25:48.74
God will have His heroes.
00:25:48.78\00:25:54.68
Let me tell you something.
00:25:54.72\00:25:57.05
Listen, if you're
not God's hero now,
00:25:57.09\00:26:01.92
you won't be God's hero then.
00:26:01.96\00:26:06.46
But you and I
should say with Luther,
00:26:06.49\00:26:11.37
here I stand,
00:26:11.40\00:26:14.77
I can do none other.
00:26:14.80\00:26:18.44
God help me.
00:26:18.47\00:26:20.98
Amen.
00:26:21.01\00:26:23.18
Hello, friend. I'm John Carter.
00:26:30.39\00:26:32.85
Behind me is the
great city of Manila,
00:26:32.89\00:26:37.03
the capital of the Philippines.
00:26:37.06\00:26:39.26
Did you know,
this is quite amazing.
00:26:39.29\00:26:41.13
There are more
people living in this area
00:26:41.16\00:26:43.40
than in New York City.
00:26:43.43\00:26:45.43
And Christ died
for these people.
00:26:45.47\00:26:48.17
We came here, oh,
long time ago back in 1984.
00:26:48.20\00:26:54.08
What's that, 34, 35 years ago,
00:26:54.11\00:26:57.18
and we came here with
a team of young people
00:26:57.21\00:26:59.45
and we came to the PICC.
00:26:59.48\00:27:02.58
It is our intent to come here,
00:27:02.62\00:27:04.99
hire the biggest
hall that's available,
00:27:05.02\00:27:07.12
the greatest outdoor
stadium, whatever it takes.
00:27:07.16\00:27:11.53
You've got more than
20 million souls out here.
00:27:11.56\00:27:16.46
And I say it again.
00:27:16.50\00:27:17.83
These are people
for whom Christ died.
00:27:17.87\00:27:20.50
I'm asking you to pray
00:27:20.54\00:27:21.87
for the people
of the Philippines.
00:27:21.90\00:27:24.17
Please pray for the
people here in Metro Manila.
