I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:00:02.20\00:00:04.63
In Havana, Cuba.
00:00:04.67\00:00:07.27
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:00:07.30\00:00:10.61
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.64\00:00:13.51
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.54\00:00:16.48
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.51\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\00:00:24.09

00:00:26.45\00:00:29.72
The Coming Dictatorship.
00:00:29.76\00:00:31.83
Are you a marked man?
00:00:31.86\00:00:33.80
Welcome to the Carter Report.
00:00:33.83\00:00:35.33
Here's John Carter.
00:00:35.36\00:00:38.47
We're talking today
00:00:38.50\00:00:39.83
about the coming
world dictatorship.
00:00:39.87\00:00:43.04
We're going to
answer the question
00:00:43.07\00:00:44.84
and ask it, of course,
00:00:44.87\00:00:46.78
are you and I
marked men and women?
00:00:46.81\00:00:51.31
I must warn you,
00:00:51.35\00:00:52.68
this talk is totally
00:00:52.71\00:00:54.95
politically incorrect.
00:00:54.98\00:00:59.39
So maybe you're going
to hear some things today,
00:00:59.42\00:01:01.52
you're not going to like,
00:01:01.56\00:01:02.92
but I can promise you one thing,
00:01:02.96\00:01:04.89
by the grace of God,
you're going to hear the truth.
00:01:04.93\00:01:10.07
We're going to go to
a prophecy in the Bible
00:01:10.10\00:01:12.23
that most people totally ignore
00:01:12.27\00:01:16.47
is Revelation Chapter 13
00:01:16.50\00:01:19.61
that talks about the lamb
00:01:19.64\00:01:22.41
that becomes a dragon.
00:01:22.44\00:01:25.81
Totally politically incorrect.
00:01:25.85\00:01:30.09
But after all is said and
done, what really matters,
00:01:30.12\00:01:33.52
what really matters,
my friend, is the truth.
00:01:33.56\00:01:38.23
Now some would say
00:01:38.26\00:01:39.59
that this talk today is heresy.
00:01:39.63\00:01:44.60
They'd say, "Why didn't you let
00:01:44.63\00:01:46.23
sleeping dogs sleep on."
00:01:46.27\00:01:50.91
But I would suggest to you today
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.77
that those dogs are
well and truly awake
00:01:52.81\00:01:57.81
and they're
snarling at our heels.
00:01:57.85\00:02:02.68
And so today the question is,
00:02:02.72\00:02:05.75
are you a marked man.
00:02:05.79\00:02:09.06
Now we're going to
come in the scriptures
00:02:09.09\00:02:12.06
to Revelation Chapter 13,
00:02:12.09\00:02:16.50
and we're going
to read verse 11.
00:02:16.53\00:02:20.24
"Then I saw, I
saw another beast,"
00:02:20.27\00:02:24.57
another nation, another power.
00:02:24.61\00:02:26.44
A beast represents
a nation or a power.
00:02:26.47\00:02:29.84
"Another beast
coming up out of the earth,
00:02:29.88\00:02:33.42
he had two horns like a lamb
00:02:33.45\00:02:36.72
and spoke like a dragon."
00:02:36.75\00:02:39.45
Now he doesn't start
out by speaking as a dragon.
00:02:39.49\00:02:44.06
He starts out
speaking like a lamb
00:02:44.09\00:02:48.13
which, of course,
represents Christ,
00:02:48.16\00:02:51.50
but he ends up
speaking like the devil.
00:02:51.53\00:02:56.27
Years ago when I was working
00:02:56.30\00:02:57.97
over in the great city of Dallas
00:02:58.01\00:03:00.14
in the great state of Texas,
00:03:00.18\00:03:03.88
I would walk down
to the Trinity River.
00:03:03.91\00:03:06.78
We were doing
some television work,
00:03:06.82\00:03:08.95
and I'd go down
to the Trinity River,
00:03:08.98\00:03:11.35
and I would gaze
down into the waters.
00:03:11.39\00:03:15.76
And there I saw a little turtle,
00:03:15.79\00:03:18.96
the Texas turtle.
00:03:18.99\00:03:22.13
He was a great little Texan,
00:03:22.16\00:03:23.83
he was swimming
against the current.
00:03:23.87\00:03:26.77
And he was doing great.
00:03:26.80\00:03:28.50
He was swimming
against the current.
00:03:28.54\00:03:30.91
But the trouble is,
00:03:30.94\00:03:32.27
the current was going
faster than he was swimming,
00:03:32.31\00:03:34.98
and therefore,
00:03:35.01\00:03:36.34
he was swimming
backwards, like some of us.
00:03:36.38\00:03:39.28
Now you and I need to learn
to swim against the current,
00:03:39.31\00:03:43.25
but we need to go
faster than the current.
00:03:43.28\00:03:45.69
Now he hadn't...
00:03:45.72\00:03:47.06
Notice he had an
outboard motor strapped on,
00:03:47.09\00:03:48.96
it's only 50 horsepower.
00:03:48.99\00:03:51.49
He needed 250 horsepower,
00:03:51.53\00:03:53.53
and then he could go
faster than the current.
00:03:53.56\00:03:56.97
I want to tell you
today we're living in times
00:03:57.00\00:03:59.60
when you and I have to
swim against the current.
00:03:59.63\00:04:04.01
And there's something
that we need desperately
00:04:04.04\00:04:07.44
here in this great
United States of America
00:04:07.48\00:04:12.08
and that is knowledge,
the knowledge of the truth,
00:04:12.11\00:04:16.65
not just a lot
of raw emotionalism
00:04:16.69\00:04:20.72
and a lot of religious talk,
00:04:20.76\00:04:22.46
what you and I
need is the truth,
00:04:22.49\00:04:25.49
even though the truth
00:04:25.53\00:04:26.96
is politically incorrect.
00:04:27.00\00:04:32.63
Now, in Revelation Chapter
13, you've got two beasts.
00:04:32.67\00:04:36.71
And these beasts
represent two great powers,
00:04:36.74\00:04:40.08
and two great kingdoms,
00:04:40.11\00:04:42.04
or two great
forces in the world.
00:04:42.08\00:04:44.95
Now the first one is found
00:04:44.98\00:04:46.31
in Revelation 13:1,
00:04:46.35\00:04:51.29
notice this.
00:04:51.32\00:04:53.79
"Then I stood on
the sand of the sea,
00:04:53.82\00:04:55.76
and I saw a beast
rising up out of the sea,
00:04:55.79\00:04:58.76
having seven
heads and ten horns,"
00:04:58.79\00:05:01.13
this is the dragon, "and
on his horns ten crowns,"
00:05:01.16\00:05:04.83
representing the
kingdoms of Europe,
00:05:04.87\00:05:07.04
"and on his heads
a blasphemous name."
00:05:07.07\00:05:10.91
Now what does this represent?
00:05:10.94\00:05:13.17
Well, if you
notice, if you don't mind,
00:05:13.21\00:05:15.38
verse 5 of the same chapter.
00:05:15.41\00:05:20.38
Verse 5 of the
same chapter, it says,
00:05:20.42\00:05:25.02
"He was given a mouth speaking
great things and blasphemies.
00:05:25.05\00:05:29.32
He was given authority
00:05:29.36\00:05:30.69
to continue for
forty-two months."
00:05:30.73\00:05:32.79
And every person
knows in Bible prophecy,
00:05:32.83\00:05:35.20
the forty-two
months represent 1260 days,
00:05:35.23\00:05:38.57
which was
symbolic of the Dark Ages,
00:05:38.60\00:05:42.60
when the great Antichrist Church
00:05:42.64\00:05:46.68
ruled the world.
00:05:46.71\00:05:49.58
And may I
remind you of the words
00:05:49.61\00:05:51.98
of the great, great professor
00:05:52.01\00:05:54.62
and church historian, Dr. Wylie.
00:05:54.65\00:05:58.25
He said these words,
00:05:58.29\00:06:00.82
"The noonday of the papacy
00:06:00.86\00:06:05.06
was the midnight of the world."
00:06:05.09\00:06:11.03
This was a time of prelates,
00:06:11.07\00:06:14.10
popes, priests, paganism
00:06:14.14\00:06:17.21
and persecution
of the people of God.
00:06:17.24\00:06:21.48
And this is
symbolized by the first beast.
00:06:21.51\00:06:24.71
Who teaches these things today?
00:06:24.75\00:06:26.65
Oh, not many.
00:06:26.68\00:06:28.02
But this is
completely un-American.
00:06:28.05\00:06:29.52
No, no, no, very American,
00:06:29.55\00:06:31.62
because this is what
America was based on and found.
00:06:31.65\00:06:35.69
You say, I can't, well
you, this is just the facts.
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.06
This is what was
taught by the Pilgrim Fathers
00:06:38.09\00:06:41.50
who came to this country.
00:06:41.53\00:06:42.86
This is the truth.
00:06:42.90\00:06:44.87
The Dark Ages
turned to superstition.
00:06:44.90\00:06:47.87
A time of man-made religion.
00:06:47.90\00:06:50.01
There's nothing worse
than man-made religion.
00:06:50.04\00:06:52.74
A time of persecution.
00:06:52.77\00:06:55.24
Many thousands, even millions
were tortured and killed
00:06:55.28\00:06:59.18
during the time of the beast.
00:06:59.21\00:07:01.95
The beast is not
a derogatory term.
00:07:01.98\00:07:04.92
It simply means a
power in Bible prophecy.
00:07:04.95\00:07:08.86
Revelation 13:7 says.
00:07:08.89\00:07:13.29
Revelation 13:7 says,
00:07:13.33\00:07:17.03
"It was granted
to him to make war
00:07:17.07\00:07:19.47
against the saints
and to overcome them.
00:07:19.50\00:07:22.47
All authority was
given him over every tribe,
00:07:22.50\00:07:25.57
tongue and nation."
00:07:25.61\00:07:27.81
And this is a correct
description of the Dark Ages
00:07:27.84\00:07:33.15
when the church ruled the world.
00:07:33.18\00:07:36.65
Thousands, tens of thousands,
00:07:36.69\00:07:40.06
millions of people
who were dissidents
00:07:40.09\00:07:43.86
who thought for themselves
00:07:43.89\00:07:45.99
were taken into
these terrible places,
00:07:46.03\00:07:49.70
the places of the
bloody inquisition
00:07:49.73\00:07:53.44
and tortured and put to death
00:07:53.47\00:07:55.70
because of their faith in Christ
00:07:55.74\00:07:57.97
and because they
believed the Holy Scriptures.
00:07:58.01\00:08:01.84
And the sad thing is this
00:08:01.88\00:08:03.41
that most folks went along
to get along as it is today.
00:08:03.45\00:08:08.48
You've got to go
along to get along,
00:08:08.52\00:08:11.15
but where you're
going to get along to.
00:08:11.19\00:08:13.72
Conformity, I would
remind you, my friend,
00:08:13.76\00:08:16.76
is the pathway to mediocrity,
00:08:16.79\00:08:19.66
also the pathway to apostasy
00:08:19.69\00:08:22.76
and the easy road
always leads down to hell.
00:08:22.80\00:08:27.80
Now here's a
statement from Newman
00:08:27.84\00:08:29.50
out of a manual
of church history.
00:08:29.54\00:08:32.34
This is a profound statement,
00:08:32.37\00:08:34.98
I will try to get through
but it has so much in it.
00:08:35.01\00:08:39.08
"The points in which
Constantine and his followers
00:08:39.11\00:08:42.12
favored Christianity
00:08:42.15\00:08:43.65
may also be
regarded as involving evils.
00:08:43.69\00:08:49.02
When he put
restrictions on idolatry,
00:08:49.06\00:08:52.99
he fostered a spirit of
intolerance in Christians,
00:08:53.03\00:08:57.07
and let them to
trust in physical power
00:08:57.10\00:09:00.17
rather than in the
power of the truth."
00:09:00.20\00:09:01.84
The same as today.
00:09:01.87\00:09:03.67
"When he enjoined
00:09:03.71\00:09:05.37
the universal
observance of Sunday,
00:09:05.41\00:09:07.84
it ceased to be a spiritual,
and became a legal festival.
00:09:07.88\00:09:13.01
When he offered
temporal inducements
00:09:13.05\00:09:15.28
to the
profession of Christianity,
00:09:15.32\00:09:18.32
he not only brought multitudes
of unregenerate people
00:09:18.35\00:09:21.86
into the churches,
00:09:21.89\00:09:23.32
but he also aided in making
it a part of public opinion
00:09:23.36\00:09:28.63
to regard the
profession of Christianity
00:09:28.66\00:09:31.47
as a mere form," as it is today.
00:09:31.50\00:09:35.64
"And to attach a
magical significance
00:09:35.67\00:09:38.74
to the
ordinances," as it is today.
00:09:38.77\00:09:41.81
"The church became
a persecuting power,
00:09:41.84\00:09:45.25
making use of
the civil authority
00:09:45.28\00:09:47.68
for the suppression of dissent."
00:09:47.72\00:09:50.82
Now Constantine lived
about 300 years after Christ.
00:09:50.85\00:09:54.29
And he was the Roman Emperor,
00:09:54.32\00:09:57.29
who became "a Christian"
00:09:57.33\00:10:01.36
but he was pagan
to his black soul.
00:10:01.40\00:10:06.07
But he joined, my
friend, with the church.
00:10:06.10\00:10:10.51
Here's another
statement from Newman.
00:10:10.54\00:10:13.31
Newman is great
church historian.
00:10:13.34\00:10:16.11
He's not a part of my church.
00:10:16.14\00:10:18.48
He says this, "The
church has persecuted Christians
00:10:18.51\00:10:23.05
far more cruelly,
00:10:23.08\00:10:24.59
and has destroyed
vastly more Christians
00:10:24.62\00:10:26.99
than pagans have done.
00:10:27.02\00:10:29.76
The Diocletian
persecution is as nothing
00:10:29.79\00:10:32.66
when compared with the
work of the 'Holy office.'"
00:10:32.69\00:10:36.03
And the holy office is talking
about the office of the papacy.
00:10:36.06\00:10:41.60
Now, we're not talking
about the present pope,
00:10:41.64\00:10:43.30
we're not talking about this.
00:10:43.34\00:10:44.67
We're talking about history.
00:10:44.71\00:10:47.54
Nobody has
persecuted more Christians
00:10:47.58\00:10:50.51
than the great
church of the Dark Ages.
00:10:50.55\00:10:55.02
So, listen, the first
church of Revelation 13
00:10:55.05\00:11:00.19
is the Church of the Dark Ages.
00:11:00.22\00:11:01.99
This is what was
taught by the Puritans,
00:11:02.02\00:11:03.93
the Pilgrim Fathers,
all the early Americans.
00:11:03.96\00:11:06.90
They don't know it today,
they're not teaching it today,
00:11:06.93\00:11:09.63
not because it's not American,
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.23
but simply because
they don't know it.
00:11:11.27\00:11:15.77
So the first
beast of Revelation 13
00:11:15.80\00:11:17.71
is the Church of the Dark Ages,
00:11:17.74\00:11:19.37
reborn, vigorous, deceptive,
00:11:19.41\00:11:22.48
active, and here now.
00:11:22.51\00:11:25.71
Hey, is this too strong for you?
00:11:25.75\00:11:28.68
Well, there's
strongest stuff to come,
00:11:28.72\00:11:30.19
so you better stay tuned.
00:11:30.22\00:11:31.65
says this.
00:11:35.32\00:11:37.76
"All who dwell on the
earth will worship him,
00:11:37.79\00:11:40.36
whose names
have not been written
00:11:40.40\00:11:41.93
in the Book of Life of the Lamb
00:11:41.96\00:11:43.77
slain from the
foundation of the world."
00:11:43.80\00:11:47.37
The Bible teaches
that the first beast
00:11:47.40\00:11:50.24
that ruled the
world in the Dark Ages
00:11:50.27\00:11:52.54
is going to come back
with tremendous power.
00:11:52.57\00:11:56.44
And the Bible says
the whole wide world
00:11:56.48\00:11:59.78
is going to fall
down and worship.
00:11:59.81\00:12:02.22
The question is, are you?
00:12:02.25\00:12:04.32
Am I?
00:12:04.35\00:12:05.69
Are you, my friend,
00:12:05.72\00:12:08.36
a marked man?
00:12:08.39\00:12:12.59
How is this going
to be accomplished?
00:12:12.63\00:12:14.86
Well, it's going to be
accomplished, my friend,
00:12:14.90\00:12:17.07
through the second beast.
00:12:17.10\00:12:20.50
Now, I know that some of
you who are listening to this,
00:12:20.54\00:12:22.77
you're absolutely
stunned and you're blown away,
00:12:22.80\00:12:24.77
you say, I just
can't believe this.
00:12:24.81\00:12:26.61
This is what was taught
by all of the great churches
00:12:26.64\00:12:29.81
in America,
00:12:29.84\00:12:31.18
by all of the great
churches in Great Britain.
00:12:31.21\00:12:34.75
In fact, when I was just a
boy growing up in Australia,
00:12:34.78\00:12:37.92
this was taught in
virtually all of the churches,
00:12:37.95\00:12:40.99
it was bread
and butter religion,
00:12:41.02\00:12:43.76
but we have come to dark times
as far as truth is concerned.
00:12:43.79\00:12:47.76
But Jesus said,
you will know the truth
00:12:47.80\00:12:50.17
and the truth
will make you free.
00:12:50.20\00:12:52.43
Are you ready for it, my friend?
00:12:52.47\00:12:54.84
Can you take this?
00:12:54.87\00:12:56.71
Am I being too
politically incorrect?
00:12:56.74\00:12:59.67
Who is
sufficient for these things?
00:12:59.71\00:13:02.64
Now we come to the
second beast of Bible prophecy.
00:13:02.68\00:13:05.48
The first beast is the
Church of the Dark Ages.
00:13:05.51\00:13:08.55
down to 13
00:13:13.15\00:13:15.96
and notice it, if you will.
00:13:15.99\00:13:18.89
"Then I saw another
beast," another nation,
00:13:18.93\00:13:22.80
"coming up out of the earth,
00:13:22.83\00:13:25.23
and he had two
horns like a lamb."
00:13:25.27\00:13:28.20
Hey, he acts like Jesus.
00:13:28.24\00:13:31.51
He talks like Jesus.
00:13:31.54\00:13:33.81
He is a Christian power.
00:13:33.84\00:13:36.51
"Two horns like a lamb
and spoke like a dragon."
00:13:36.54\00:13:42.05
Verse 12, "And he
exercises all the authority
00:13:42.08\00:13:45.39
of the first
beast in his presence."
00:13:45.42\00:13:48.42
He gets all the authority
of the Church of the Dark Ages.
00:13:48.46\00:13:52.03
"And causes the earth
00:13:52.06\00:13:53.40
and those who dwell in it
to worship the first beast,"
00:13:53.43\00:13:57.20
he leads the
world back to the church
00:13:57.23\00:13:59.77
of the Dark Ages,
it's happening today.
00:13:59.80\00:14:03.07
"The first beast, whose
deadly wound was healed."
00:14:03.10\00:14:05.27
Verse 13,
00:14:05.31\00:14:06.64
"He performs great signs,
00:14:06.68\00:14:09.31
so that he even makes
fire come down from heaven
00:14:09.34\00:14:12.18
on the earth in
the sight of men."
00:14:12.21\00:14:15.22
And so here is another power
00:14:15.25\00:14:16.89
that comes up
on the world scene.
00:14:16.92\00:14:19.75
This is a power, my friend,
that comes up like a lamb,
00:14:19.79\00:14:25.03
has two horns like a lamb,
00:14:25.06\00:14:27.76
and the lamb is
the symbol of Christ.
00:14:27.80\00:14:30.67
The lamb is the
symbol of the gospel.
00:14:30.70\00:14:35.00
And even though this
power comes up like a lamb,
00:14:35.04\00:14:37.67
this power ends up
00:14:37.71\00:14:39.47
speaking like a dragon.
00:14:39.51\00:14:43.81
And it is his work
to lead the whole world
00:14:43.85\00:14:46.82
back to the worship of
the Church of the Dark Ages.
00:14:46.85\00:14:51.32
Let me tell it to
you as plain as I can.
00:14:51.35\00:14:53.52
Are you still listening to me?
00:14:53.56\00:14:56.36
You're saying, I do not,
00:14:56.39\00:14:58.03
I just don't want to take any...
00:14:58.06\00:14:59.83
Well, I want you
to listen, my friend,
00:14:59.86\00:15:01.60
because your soul salvation
may depend upon hearing
00:15:01.63\00:15:05.13
and
understanding this truth today.
00:15:05.17\00:15:07.44
This power that
comes up like a lamb
00:15:07.47\00:15:10.74
with lamb like horns
is a fake Christian power.
00:15:10.77\00:15:15.74
The lamb is the
symbol of Christ.
00:15:15.78\00:15:18.61
He has a worldwide influence.
00:15:18.65\00:15:21.72
In fact, this power
that comes up like a lamb
00:15:21.75\00:15:26.49
becomes the
greatest power in the world.
00:15:26.52\00:15:31.79
And it is this power
00:15:31.83\00:15:33.50
all through this
false religious system
00:15:33.53\00:15:36.73
in the last days
00:15:36.77\00:15:38.17
that the whole world is forced
00:15:38.20\00:15:43.20
with the exception of
a little remnant, foster,
00:15:43.24\00:15:47.11
coerced to get
the mark of the beast.
00:15:47.14\00:15:51.18
So the question
is directed as plain,
00:15:51.21\00:15:53.75
it is powerful, it is poignant.
00:15:53.78\00:15:55.82
The question is,
are you, my friend,
00:15:55.85\00:16:00.42
a marked man?
00:16:00.46\00:16:02.69
This power not only
has a worldwide influence,
00:16:02.72\00:16:05.13
but this power does miracles.
00:16:05.16\00:16:08.20
is significant.
00:16:08.23\00:16:13.30
Revelation 19:20 says,
00:16:13.34\00:16:18.24
"Then the beast was captured."
00:16:18.27\00:16:20.61
Ah, that's the first
beast of Revelation 13.
00:16:20.64\00:16:24.51
"The beast was
captured," who captures him?
00:16:24.55\00:16:27.45
God does.
00:16:27.48\00:16:28.82
"And with him,
the false prophet,"
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.92
that's the
pseudo Christian power,
00:16:30.95\00:16:33.46
the one like a lamb.
00:16:33.49\00:16:34.82
"The false prophet
00:16:34.86\00:16:36.19
who worked signs
in his presence."
00:16:36.22\00:16:38.16
Oh, he's a miracle worker.
00:16:38.19\00:16:41.03
He's a miracle worker.
00:16:41.06\00:16:43.26
"By which he deceived those
00:16:43.30\00:16:44.70
who received the
mark of the beast
00:16:44.73\00:16:47.67
and those who
worshiped his image.
00:16:47.70\00:16:49.94
These two were cast alive
00:16:49.97\00:16:52.21
into the lake of fire
burning with brimstone."
00:16:52.24\00:16:56.28
Listen, this
pseudo Christian power
00:16:56.31\00:17:00.58
that arises in the last days
00:17:00.62\00:17:03.32
that has a
worldwide influence is...
00:17:03.35\00:17:08.69
Let me say it again.
It's fake man-made religion.
00:17:08.72\00:17:12.33
But this is a power, my
friend, that works miracles.
00:17:12.36\00:17:17.97
And because the
multitudes are so ignorant
00:17:18.00\00:17:21.24
of the truth of the
Bible, they will be deceived,
00:17:21.27\00:17:25.11
diluted and damned into
getting the mark of the beast.
00:17:25.14\00:17:30.21
Therefore, I ask
you the pertinent soul
00:17:30.25\00:17:33.42
searching question
today, my friend, my brother,
00:17:33.45\00:17:36.72
my sister, are you a marked man?
00:17:36.75\00:17:41.42
I would remind you of
this that religious deception,
00:17:41.46\00:17:44.49
religious deception is
the biggest game in town.
00:17:44.53\00:17:49.00
Remember, Satan was
once in God's inner circle.
00:17:49.03\00:17:53.77
Satan knows
everything about religion.
00:17:53.80\00:17:58.04
The false
prophet is a great liar.
00:17:58.07\00:18:02.58
When I was in
Russia some time back,
00:18:02.61\00:18:04.88
I've been there 49 times.
00:18:04.91\00:18:06.98
But some folks were making,
some crooks were making bogus,
00:18:07.02\00:18:12.09
counterfeit $100 bills.
00:18:12.12\00:18:15.02
It was mighty hard
to tell the difference.
00:18:15.06\00:18:18.09
You had to be an expert.
00:18:18.13\00:18:19.79
I want you to become an
expert in telling the truth,
00:18:19.83\00:18:24.33
in unmasking deception.
00:18:24.37\00:18:26.87
But this power, my friend,
is the great counterfeiter.
00:18:26.90\00:18:32.04
Satan was the first liar.
00:18:32.07\00:18:34.24
He is the master of deception.
00:18:34.28\00:18:37.08
I've told you the
story from the Kremlin.
00:18:37.11\00:18:41.25
This happened in the
days of the Soviet Union.
00:18:41.28\00:18:45.05
There was a new member
of the governing council.
00:18:45.09\00:18:48.76
And the Communist had
put up this bogus lying plan.
00:18:48.79\00:18:54.30
And this young man
said, comrade, comrade,
00:18:54.33\00:18:59.40
but it isn't the truth.
00:18:59.43\00:19:03.34
And then there
was a stunned silence.
00:19:03.37\00:19:07.58
And then they started laughing.
00:19:07.61\00:19:09.54
They laughed and they laughed.
00:19:09.58\00:19:12.51
They laughed.
00:19:12.55\00:19:13.88
They laughed
00:19:13.92\00:19:15.65
until they fell
off their chairs.
00:19:15.68\00:19:17.85
And then in the end
the chairman said, comrade.
00:19:21.22\00:19:27.00
What we say, whatever
we say, it is the truth.
00:19:27.03\00:19:31.23
And if you don't
understand that comrade,
00:19:31.27\00:19:34.04
you will be on
your way to Siberia.
00:19:34.07\00:19:37.67
You see, the
Communists were liars.
00:19:37.71\00:19:41.04
They did not
understand the truth.
00:19:41.08\00:19:44.51
But Jesus said,
"You will know the truth
00:19:44.55\00:19:49.08
and the truth
will make you free."
00:19:49.12\00:19:52.55
Look at John 8:32.
00:19:52.59\00:19:55.49
Jesus said, "You
will know the truth
00:19:55.52\00:19:58.73
and the truth
will set you free."
00:19:58.76\00:20:01.66
If you want to be free,
then you got to know the truth.
00:20:01.70\00:20:04.50
People say, what I
believe is the truth.
00:20:04.53\00:20:08.30
No, it's not, my friend.
00:20:08.34\00:20:10.47
The Word of God is the truth.
00:20:10.51\00:20:14.01
You will know the truth
00:20:14.04\00:20:15.78
and the truth will set you free.
00:20:15.81\00:20:19.38
Facts and
opinions are different.
00:20:19.41\00:20:21.48
You can have your
opinion, I can have my opinion.
00:20:21.52\00:20:24.29
We can all have
different opinions,
00:20:24.32\00:20:25.85
but we, but we all
can have different truths.
00:20:25.89\00:20:28.46
You can't say,
hey, I've got my truth
00:20:28.49\00:20:30.39
and you got your truth.
00:20:30.43\00:20:31.76
No, my friend,
there's only one truth.
00:20:31.79\00:20:33.93
And I need to bring my
opinion into humble conformity
00:20:33.96\00:20:38.07
to the truth of God.
00:20:38.10\00:20:39.93
Now today in the
world, in America,
00:20:39.97\00:20:42.54
millions of people
are being deceived.
00:20:42.57\00:20:46.17
Look at John 17:17.
00:20:46.21\00:20:50.08
And notice John 17:17,
00:20:50.11\00:20:54.02
"Sanctify them by Your truth.
00:20:54.05\00:20:56.82
Your word is truth."
00:20:56.85\00:20:58.92
Ultimate truth is found
in the Holy Word of God.
00:20:58.95\00:21:03.63
The truth that
you need to be saved,
00:21:03.66\00:21:06.29
the truth that
you need to get home
00:21:06.33\00:21:08.16
to the kingdom of God.
00:21:08.20\00:21:09.76
That truth, my friend,
is found in the Word of God.
00:21:09.80\00:21:13.37
Now look at John 8:43-48.
00:21:13.40\00:21:16.30
These are the words
of our blessed Lord.
00:21:16.34\00:21:20.28
"Why don't you
understand My speech?
00:21:20.31\00:21:24.01
Because you are not
able to listen to My word."
00:21:24.05\00:21:27.32
Same as today.
00:21:27.35\00:21:29.18
"You are of your
father the devil,
00:21:29.22\00:21:32.05
and the desires of
your father you want to do.
00:21:32.09\00:21:35.39
He was a murderer
from the beginning,
00:21:35.42\00:21:37.36
and does not stand in the truth,
00:21:37.39\00:21:39.76
because there
is no truth in him.
00:21:39.79\00:21:42.40
When he speaks a lie, he
speaks from his own resources,
00:21:42.43\00:21:47.04
for he is a liar
and the father of it."
00:21:47.07\00:21:51.97
Lying comes from the devil.
00:21:52.01\00:21:56.18
If you and I tell lies,
00:21:56.21\00:21:58.01
it's because we are
not children of God,
00:21:58.05\00:22:00.25
it's because we
are sons of the devil.
00:22:00.28\00:22:04.95
And this power, my
friend, that comes up is a liar.
00:22:04.99\00:22:09.42
So the second beast
we're talking about today
00:22:09.46\00:22:12.79
is a religious power
00:22:12.83\00:22:14.16
that is filled with lies
while talking about Jesus.
00:22:14.20\00:22:17.83
It is fake Christianity.
00:22:17.87\00:22:20.50
But it is not the same
00:22:20.54\00:22:21.87
as the Church
of the Inquisition,
00:22:21.90\00:22:24.57
the old church from Europe
that followed the Roman Empire.
00:22:24.61\00:22:27.94
No, it is found in the new world
00:22:27.98\00:22:31.21
that starts out
good like a lamb,
00:22:31.25\00:22:33.52
but it ends up
speaking as a dragon.
00:22:33.55\00:22:36.42
And some would say,
00:22:36.45\00:22:38.25
it is happening
today in America.
00:22:38.29\00:22:43.16
And Satan is
winning a great victory.
00:22:43.19\00:22:46.16
I asked you the
question, are you a marked man?
00:22:46.19\00:22:50.63
He has stopped the people
from reading the Holy Bible.
00:22:50.67\00:22:53.13
Most people today
are completely ignorant
00:22:53.17\00:22:55.44
of the truths of the Bible.
00:22:55.47\00:22:56.81
He's got the
people so bamboozled,
00:22:59.87\00:23:02.48
they've stopped
thinking for themselves,
00:23:02.51\00:23:04.65
and they get all of their
information from television.
00:23:04.68\00:23:10.49
And thus they're deceived
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.25
like the Dallas turtle
00:23:12.29\00:23:16.52
out of the Trinity River,
00:23:16.56\00:23:18.36
who thought he was doing great
00:23:18.39\00:23:20.53
and he was doing great
swimming against the current.
00:23:20.56\00:23:24.40
But the current was going faster
00:23:24.43\00:23:25.93
than he could swim.
00:23:25.97\00:23:28.70
I want you to
notice now, I mean,
00:23:28.74\00:23:30.37
this is pretty heavy
stuff I know, but this is,
00:23:30.41\00:23:32.81
this is the stuff
that America was based on.
00:23:32.84\00:23:35.11
This is what made America great.
00:23:35.14\00:23:38.01
I want you to
notice, my dear friends,
00:23:38.05\00:23:39.88
the amazing work of the Lamb.
00:23:39.91\00:23:43.05
This pseudo Christian power
00:23:43.08\00:23:45.35
that ends up
talking like a dragon.
00:23:45.39\00:23:48.39
Revelation 13:14,
00:23:48.42\00:23:52.73
here is the text.
00:23:52.76\00:23:55.03
"And he deceives those
that dwell on the earth
00:23:55.06\00:24:00.54
by the signs
which he was granted
00:24:00.57\00:24:02.70
to do in the
sight of the beast,"
00:24:02.74\00:24:05.34
that's the
Church of the Dark Ages,
00:24:05.37\00:24:07.34
"telling those
who dwell on the earth
00:24:07.38\00:24:09.04
to make an image to the beast
00:24:09.08\00:24:10.85
which was wounded by
the sword and lived."
00:24:10.88\00:24:14.05
And so, the
pseudo Christian power
00:24:14.08\00:24:17.89
makes an image to the
Church of the Dark Ages.
00:24:17.92\00:24:23.63
When I was a boy
going through college,
00:24:23.66\00:24:25.36
I used to raise my fees
00:24:25.39\00:24:27.50
by selling Christian
books from door-to-door.
00:24:27.53\00:24:31.30
Sometimes, young
mother would come out
00:24:31.33\00:24:33.74
with a little girl.
00:24:33.77\00:24:35.80
I'd learned by then a
few psychology tricks.
00:24:35.84\00:24:40.58
And so, I would say to
the mother, if I could say,
00:24:40.61\00:24:43.88
truthfully, your little girl
00:24:43.91\00:24:46.82
is the spit image of you.
00:24:46.85\00:24:51.02
That's how I sold so many books.
00:24:51.05\00:24:53.19
What am I talking about?
00:24:53.22\00:24:54.56
I'm saying the little
girl looks like her mommy.
00:24:54.59\00:24:59.36
The image of the beast
00:24:59.39\00:25:01.96
that is set up by
the lamb like beast
00:25:02.00\00:25:05.33
is a copy of the Church
00:25:05.37\00:25:09.27
of the Dark Ages
00:25:09.30\00:25:12.04
which was a union of church
00:25:12.07\00:25:14.64
and state which is
called a theocracy.
00:25:14.68\00:25:18.95
Are you still listening to me?
00:25:18.98\00:25:23.02
Let me say it again.
What was the first beast?
00:25:23.05\00:25:24.89
The union of church and
state persecuting dissidents.
00:25:24.92\00:25:29.26
Revelation Chapter 17.
00:25:29.29\00:25:31.49
Oh, I think I'll deal with that
00:25:31.53\00:25:33.83
in the second
part of the program.
00:25:33.86\00:25:36.63
But Revelation 17
talks about a woman
00:25:36.67\00:25:42.40
seated on a beast.
00:25:42.44\00:25:44.94
She's dressed
down in gorgeous robes,
00:25:44.97\00:25:48.74
and she's got a
big cup in her hand
00:25:48.78\00:25:51.45
and is filled with wine.
00:25:51.48\00:25:55.82
And she's
persecuting the people of God.
00:25:55.85\00:26:00.46
That's the
Church of the Dark Ages.
00:26:00.49\00:26:02.62
And the Bible
says, listen to me.
00:26:02.66\00:26:06.36
It's going to
happen again in America.
00:26:06.39\00:26:10.47
More amazing truths,
don't go away, we'll be back.
00:26:10.50\00:26:14.47
We're talking about
the mark of the beast.
00:26:14.50\00:26:16.97
