The future of
humanity is laid out before us.
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.07
In broad, sweeping strokes,
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.80
the prophetic artists
of biblical times painted
00:00:05.83\00:00:09.00
a panorama of
present and future events.
00:00:09.04\00:00:12.17
There are scenes on the canvas
of destiny that are blood red.
00:00:12.21\00:00:16.28
Other scenes
depict mesmerized masses
00:00:16.31\00:00:19.11
listening to the Antichrist.
00:00:19.15\00:00:21.58
This is a painting of
glowing and changing intensity.
00:00:21.62\00:00:26.49
A king with his army
appears in the heavens.
00:00:26.52\00:00:30.79
Mysterious numbers
flash across the battlefield.
00:00:30.83\00:00:34.96
As we gaze at this
prophetic painting of today,
00:00:35.00\00:00:39.47
and tomorrow, we ask,
what then should we expect?
00:00:39.50\00:00:44.27
Hello, friend.
00:00:49.64\00:00:51.45
I'm John Carter in
Australia in lockdown.
00:00:51.48\00:00:54.42
I can't get out of this
place because the borders
00:00:54.45\00:00:57.39
have been sealed.
00:00:57.42\00:00:59.12
I want to give you
such a warm welcome today.
00:00:59.15\00:01:02.49
And I want to welcome
my friend Wayne Hackett,
00:01:02.52\00:01:05.53
who is the person
who gave the introduction
00:01:05.56\00:01:07.76
just a moment ago.
00:01:07.80\00:01:09.13
So glad that you're
with us today, Wayne.
00:01:09.16\00:01:12.87
Two thousand
years ago, Jesus Christ,
00:01:12.90\00:01:16.64
the master of
prophecy, spoke about
00:01:16.67\00:01:19.21
the destruction of Jerusalem.
00:01:19.24\00:01:21.68
That happened in the year 70 AD.
00:01:21.71\00:01:25.05
He then went on to
describe tremendous pandemics,
00:01:25.08\00:01:28.82
world wars, famines,
00:01:28.85\00:01:31.75
and then He spoke
about the abomination
00:01:31.79\00:01:34.26
of desolation that
would stand in the holy place.
00:01:34.29\00:01:38.03
What on earth does it mean?
00:01:38.06\00:01:40.80
I'll answer that question
00:01:40.83\00:01:42.93
and many more
questions in this program today.
00:01:42.96\00:01:46.40
Welcome to the Carter Report.
00:01:46.43\00:01:50.41
"Have there not
always been wars?
00:01:50.44\00:01:53.21
What did Jesus mean
00:01:53.24\00:01:54.74
when He spoke
about birth pains?"
00:01:54.78\00:01:59.98
I want to read you a text.
00:02:00.02\00:02:01.92
I'm going to take
it from what is called
00:02:01.95\00:02:04.25
the Little
Apocalypse, because it talks
00:02:04.29\00:02:07.36
about the last days.
00:02:07.39\00:02:09.59
I'm going to take my Bible
00:02:09.62\00:02:10.96
and I'm going to turn over
00:02:10.99\00:02:12.56
here to Matthew 24:6-8.
00:02:12.59\00:02:17.73
Now I want you,
folks, just to listen up.
00:02:17.77\00:02:20.64
Okay, Matthew 24:6-8.
00:02:20.67\00:02:23.54
Jesus said, "You will
hear wars and rumors of wars.
00:02:23.57\00:02:28.01
See that you are not
troubled, for all these things
00:02:28.04\00:02:30.61
must come to pass,
but the end is not yet."
00:02:30.65\00:02:34.52
Then he said, "For
nation will rise against nation,
00:02:34.55\00:02:38.05
and kingdom against kingdom.
00:02:38.09\00:02:40.29
And there will be
famines, pestilences,
00:02:40.32\00:02:42.76
and earthquakes
in various places.
00:02:42.79\00:02:46.33
All these are the..."
00:02:46.36\00:02:48.36
Now just wait for it, my friend.
00:02:48.40\00:02:50.63
He says, "The
beginning of sorrows."
00:02:50.67\00:02:55.50
This word, sorrows,
actually is talking about
00:02:55.54\00:02:59.64
a mother giving birth to a baby.
00:02:59.67\00:03:02.34
And as every mother knows,
and I guess the dads do, too,
00:03:02.38\00:03:06.48
that the pains get more severe,
00:03:06.51\00:03:08.52
and they come with
a greater frequency.
00:03:08.55\00:03:12.85
Hey, there's always been
wars, always been earthquakes,
00:03:12.89\00:03:16.79
always been disasters.
00:03:16.83\00:03:19.03
But Jesus gave us a scenario,
00:03:19.06\00:03:21.60
He painted a picture
of a greater intensity,
00:03:21.63\00:03:25.73
an increasing intensity.
00:03:25.77\00:03:28.60
And so what we
are going to see now
00:03:28.64\00:03:31.04
we're going to
see much, much more.
00:03:31.07\00:03:36.85
"How do we rate our current age
00:03:36.88\00:03:39.08
in comparison to other times?"
00:03:39.11\00:03:43.39
I should really back
up just a little bit.
00:03:43.42\00:03:46.55
Back in the year 19th century,
in the days of Charles Darwin,
00:03:46.59\00:03:51.83
people developed the
doctrine of inevitable progress.
00:03:51.86\00:03:55.86
Just get that down in
the molecules of your mind.
00:03:55.90\00:03:59.50
The doctrine of
inevitable progress,
00:03:59.53\00:04:01.64
people will get
better and better and better,
00:04:01.67\00:04:04.84
and utopia would come.
00:04:04.87\00:04:07.98
Scientists are playing
with the same stuff today,
00:04:08.01\00:04:11.25
through the
manipulation of genes.
00:04:11.28\00:04:14.25
Some scientists believe
that we're going to produce
00:04:14.28\00:04:17.59
the superman,
00:04:17.62\00:04:19.49
and the world is just
going to become a paradise.
00:04:19.52\00:04:23.19
But Jesus said,
00:04:23.22\00:04:25.06
"The pains are going
to get much, much more.
00:04:25.09\00:04:29.20
There is going to be
a growing intensity."
00:04:29.23\00:04:32.97
Yes, of course, there
have always been wars.
00:04:33.00\00:04:38.31
But Jesus said,
"We're gonna have more wars,
00:04:38.34\00:04:40.68
and we're gonna
have more famines,
00:04:40.71\00:04:42.04
and we're gonna have more
pestilences on and on and on."
00:04:42.08\00:04:46.41
During the last 100
years, we have perfected
00:04:46.45\00:04:49.72
the art of killing each other.
00:04:49.75\00:04:53.59
The First World War
killed 40 million people.
00:04:53.62\00:04:58.23
The Second World
War was more successful.
00:04:58.26\00:05:01.46
We were able to
kill 80 million people.
00:05:01.50\00:05:04.43
And since then
we've had lots of wars,
00:05:04.47\00:05:06.23
Vietnam War, North Korea.
00:05:06.27\00:05:10.21
We've got wars, we've had
wars in Africa, in the Congo,
00:05:10.24\00:05:14.58
more than 5
million people were killed.
00:05:14.61\00:05:18.98
And it appears as
though the nations are arming
00:05:19.01\00:05:22.82
for the last great conflict.
00:05:22.85\00:05:25.25
Now just listen to this.
00:05:25.29\00:05:28.89
China has got an
army of 3 million.
00:05:28.92\00:05:33.23
Hey, 3 million.
00:05:33.26\00:05:35.06
Cuba, just tiny little country,
been there lots of times.
00:05:35.10\00:05:38.50
It's got an army of 1.2 million.
00:05:38.53\00:05:42.20
Bless your heart.
00:05:42.24\00:05:43.57
One, I don't know
where they all stand.
00:05:43.61\00:05:45.61
Iran has an army of a million.
00:05:45.64\00:05:48.11
North Korea, hey, 7.7 million,
00:05:48.14\00:05:53.25
Pakistan, a
million, Russia, 3.5 million,
00:05:53.28\00:05:57.52
South Korea, 6.7
million, Taiwan 1.8 million,
00:05:57.55\00:06:03.22
they'll need
every person, every man
00:06:03.26\00:06:05.59
and his dog because the Chinese
have got their eyes on Taiwan.
00:06:05.63\00:06:10.87
And this could be
the spark that ignites
00:06:10.90\00:06:13.90
the final conflict.
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.77
So they got an
army, 1.8 million, Taiwan.
00:06:15.80\00:06:19.04
Turkey, 900,000,
Vietnam, 5.5 million,
00:06:19.07\00:06:23.88
Israel, 650,000,
Egypt, 1.3 million,
00:06:23.91\00:06:28.88
United States, 2.2
million, Brazil, 2.1 million,
00:06:28.92\00:06:32.95
India, 5 million.
00:06:32.99\00:06:36.83
We're just talking
about the big players.
00:06:36.86\00:06:38.63
We're not talking
about the liberal countries
00:06:38.66\00:06:41.23
like Australia, and New Zealand,
00:06:41.26\00:06:44.27
and even Canada.
00:06:44.30\00:06:47.44
But the nations are
arming for conflict.
00:06:47.47\00:06:51.77
Jesus said them,
00:06:51.81\00:06:53.71
"The birth pains
would become more intense,
00:06:53.74\00:06:57.21
and they would come
with a greater frequency."
00:06:57.25\00:07:01.12
This is what we're seeing today.
00:07:01.15\00:07:02.68
We're seeing the
greater, in greater frequency.
00:07:02.72\00:07:06.89
We're seeing more of the same.
00:07:06.92\00:07:09.69
There's a text
in the Book of Joel,
00:07:09.72\00:07:11.26
I just wanna quote it to you.
00:07:11.29\00:07:12.63
Joel 3:9-10, "Proclaim
this among the nations:
00:07:12.66\00:07:17.80
'Prepare for war!
00:07:17.83\00:07:19.30
Wake up the mighty men." Wow.
00:07:19.33\00:07:22.07
Wake up the mighty men.
00:07:22.10\00:07:24.01
Then the text goes on to say,
00:07:24.04\00:07:26.37
"Let all the men
of war draw near,
00:07:26.41\00:07:29.34
let them come up, beat
your plowshares into swords
00:07:29.38\00:07:33.11
and your pruning
hooks into spears.
00:07:33.15\00:07:35.52
Let the weak say, 'I
am strong,' multitudes,
00:07:35.55\00:07:38.75
multitudes in the
valley of decision!
00:07:38.79\00:07:41.82
For the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.'"
00:07:41.86\00:07:46.86
And so, the prophecies paint
00:07:46.90\00:07:49.50
a scenario of
world wars more and more,
00:07:49.53\00:07:55.37
more intense.
00:07:55.40\00:07:59.47
"Why is there so much war,
00:07:59.51\00:08:01.34
suspicion and
hatred among nations,
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.71
even between
neighbors and families?"
00:08:04.75\00:08:07.02
This is a very
uncomfortable word.
00:08:10.15\00:08:13.29
Psychologists and
psychiatrists have sort
00:08:13.32\00:08:15.76
of put a taboo
on using this word.
00:08:15.79\00:08:18.69
That's another reason
I'm gonna use it today.
00:08:18.73\00:08:21.56
The word is sin.
00:08:21.60\00:08:24.50
We are a race of sinners.
00:08:24.53\00:08:26.94
This is a planet in rebellion.
00:08:26.97\00:08:31.91
The big problem, my friend,
is sin in the human heart.
00:08:31.94\00:08:36.85
Let me read you out of the Book
00:08:36.88\00:08:38.78
of Romans 3:10 and 23.
00:08:38.81\00:08:43.08
"As it is written:
00:08:43.12\00:08:45.15
'There is no one
righteous, no, not one."
00:08:45.19\00:08:48.12
No person is righteous.
This is why neighbors fight.
00:08:48.16\00:08:52.19
This is why they
fight over boundary lines.
00:08:52.23\00:08:55.16
That's why the Russians
and the Chinese and you go on
00:08:55.20\00:08:57.87
and on are beating
their plowshares into swords.
00:08:57.90\00:09:03.10
It says, "There is none
righteous, no, not one, for all
00:09:03.14\00:09:05.77
have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God."
00:09:05.81\00:09:09.64
That's the problem.
00:09:09.68\00:09:11.45
The problem is sin
that resides in our hearts.
00:09:11.48\00:09:15.65
The first recorded instance
00:09:15.68\00:09:18.05
of a man who was born
00:09:18.09\00:09:20.32
of woman is a man who commits
00:09:20.36\00:09:23.79
a murder and
murders his brother.
00:09:23.83\00:09:29.06
The human races been
murdering their brothers
00:09:29.10\00:09:32.33
and their sisters ever since.
00:09:32.37\00:09:34.84
It is because of sin.
00:09:34.87\00:09:37.87
What is needed?
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.34
Not more politics.
00:09:39.37\00:09:41.34
I tell you, folks, politics
have failed the human race.
00:09:41.38\00:09:45.11
Goodness me.
00:09:45.15\00:09:46.48
We don't put our
trust in Congress anymore.
00:09:46.51\00:09:48.48
We don't put our
trust in the Senate anymore.
00:09:48.52\00:09:51.92
We put our trust in God.
00:09:51.95\00:09:53.42
In God will we
trust, because God
00:09:53.46\00:09:55.82
is the only hope
for the human race.
00:09:55.86\00:09:58.33
He's the only hope for you.
00:09:58.36\00:09:59.69
He's the only
hope for this sinner.
00:09:59.73\00:10:04.70
"Is the H bomb described
in the Bible prophecies?"
00:10:04.73\00:10:10.54
Well, Wayne, that's
a pretty good question.
00:10:10.57\00:10:13.94
There's a text in the
Book of Revelation that makes
00:10:13.98\00:10:16.18
me think that maybe the H bomb
00:10:16.21\00:10:19.85
or something like it is
described in our Bibles.
00:10:19.88\00:10:24.09
Now, don't give
up on me, my friend.
00:10:24.12\00:10:27.39
Listen to the text.
00:10:27.42\00:10:29.49
Revelation 11 says,
00:10:29.52\00:10:33.29
verse 18, "The
nations were angry,
00:10:33.33\00:10:36.80
and Your wrath has come,
and the time of the dead,
00:10:36.83\00:10:40.14
that they should be judged."
00:10:40.17\00:10:41.80
We're talking here, my
friend, about the end of times
00:10:41.84\00:10:44.94
when the dead are
going to be judged.
00:10:44.97\00:10:47.18
"And that You should
reward Your servants,
00:10:47.21\00:10:49.04
the prophets and the saint,
and those who fear Your name,
00:10:49.08\00:10:52.31
small and great, and
should destroy those who,"
00:10:52.35\00:10:57.69
the Bible says,
"destroy the earth."
00:10:57.72\00:11:03.19
Why bless your heart.
00:11:03.22\00:11:05.76
This book was written in
the days of bows and arrows.
00:11:05.79\00:11:10.87
You couldn't destroy the earth.
00:11:10.90\00:11:14.04
The Bible prophets predicted
the day would come when people,
00:11:14.07\00:11:18.21
the human race
would get the enormous
00:11:18.24\00:11:21.61
capacity to destroy the earth.
00:11:21.64\00:11:25.45
Now we can do it
today, not once over,
00:11:25.48\00:11:28.75
not 10 times, not
even 100 times over,
00:11:28.78\00:11:31.15
the Chinese can
wipe out the earth,
00:11:31.19\00:11:32.85
the Americans can
wipe out the earth,
00:11:32.89\00:11:35.42
the Russians can
wipe out the earth.
00:11:35.46\00:11:38.23
The Indians have got the H bomb.
00:11:38.26\00:11:40.96
The Pakistanis
have got the H bomb.
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.10
The Israelis
have got the H bomb.
00:11:43.13\00:11:45.33
And so it goes on.
00:11:45.37\00:11:48.60
So the Bible talks
about the coming of a day
00:11:48.64\00:11:51.47
when men will have the
capacity to destroy the earth.
00:11:51.51\00:11:55.21
If this is not an
evidence for the authenticity
00:11:55.24\00:11:59.01
of Bible prophecy,
I don't know what is.
00:11:59.05\00:12:02.88
This to me is
evidence that the hand of God
00:12:02.92\00:12:06.65
is in the writing of the Bible.
00:12:06.69\00:12:09.12
Now, I'm going to
read you another text.
00:12:09.16\00:12:11.99
This is just a little bit
controversial, but I want you
00:12:12.03\00:12:14.93
to listen to this.
00:12:14.96\00:12:16.80
This is found in Joel
00:12:16.83\00:12:19.47
2:30-31,
00:12:19.50\00:12:22.94
just listen to it please.
00:12:22.97\00:12:25.61
"And I will show wonders in
the heavens and in the earth:
00:12:25.64\00:12:28.68
Blood and fire
00:12:28.71\00:12:31.25
and pillars of smoke.
00:12:31.28\00:12:35.48
The sun shall be
turned into darkness,
00:12:35.52\00:12:37.89
and the moon into blood,
before the coming of the great
00:12:37.92\00:12:40.86
and awesome day of the Lord."
00:12:40.89\00:12:43.56
Prophet Joel
looked up in the heavens.
00:12:43.59\00:12:45.99
In the last days, he saw
blood and fire and pillars,
00:12:46.03\00:12:51.70
pillars of smoke.
00:12:51.73\00:12:56.64
I don't want to
be dogmatic on this.
00:12:56.67\00:12:58.34
But it's talking
about the last days
00:12:58.37\00:13:00.58
and you have these
tremendous images in the sky.
00:13:00.61\00:13:04.11
Jesus said, "There
would be fearful sights
00:13:04.15\00:13:07.12
and great signs in the heavens."
00:13:07.15\00:13:10.59
It's coming, my friend.
00:13:10.62\00:13:12.59
The Word of God
is coming to pass.
00:13:12.62\00:13:14.36
What shall we then expect?
00:13:14.39\00:13:17.49
Remember the birth pains,
more and more and more until
00:13:17.53\00:13:22.66
the new creation is born.
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.37
"There have
always been pandemics.
00:13:27.37\00:13:29.57
What's so
different about COVID-19?
00:13:29.60\00:13:34.81
Well, the Black
Death in the Middle Ages
00:13:34.84\00:13:37.45
that was around, if this brain
00:13:37.48\00:13:40.08
is still working this morning.
00:13:40.12\00:13:43.55
At 1346, around that time,
00:13:43.59\00:13:47.99
it killed about 100
million people, Bubonic plague.
00:13:48.02\00:13:52.39
Some say, 200 million
00:13:52.43\00:13:55.00
people were killed
in this dreadful plague.
00:13:55.03\00:13:59.20
They've always been plagues.
00:13:59.23\00:14:02.64
COVID-19, I'm told
by government officials
00:14:02.67\00:14:05.81
has killed around the
world, about 4 million people.
00:14:05.84\00:14:09.38
So it is a pandemic.
00:14:09.41\00:14:12.31
I know it's got people
here in Australia absolutely
00:14:12.35\00:14:15.58
terrified because of
the outbreak in Sydney.
00:14:15.62\00:14:18.25
Sydney as I talk is
going into lockdown.
00:14:18.29\00:14:21.96
And most of the people
have not been vaccinated.
00:14:21.99\00:14:24.63
So it's in Australia here,
00:14:24.66\00:14:26.39
it's getting a little bit scary.
00:14:26.43\00:14:29.63
But the Economist magazine,
00:14:29.66\00:14:31.53
which is not just
a bunch of fake news,
00:14:31.57\00:14:34.34
it's a good magazine,
edited in Great Britain,
00:14:34.37\00:14:39.54
published in America.
00:14:39.57\00:14:41.01
It says the death
rate is probably five times
00:14:41.04\00:14:44.31
higher than the official figure.
00:14:44.35\00:14:47.42
If that were so,
00:14:47.45\00:14:48.85
you would have 20 million
people dead with COVID-19
00:14:48.88\00:14:52.72
around the world and
the end is still to come.
00:14:52.75\00:14:58.59
It is a sign.
00:14:58.63\00:15:00.46
It is a part of the
birth pains that usher
00:15:00.50\00:15:04.57
in the new creation.
00:15:04.60\00:15:10.07
"Are false prophets
now making prophecies?"
00:15:10.11\00:15:15.71
Yes, they sure are.
00:15:15.74\00:15:18.48
The Bible prophets paint
this great prophetic scenario
00:15:18.51\00:15:22.65
on the canvas of time.
00:15:22.68\00:15:25.92
Sitting right there in
the middle of this canvas
00:15:25.95\00:15:30.26
are false
preachers, phony pastors,
00:15:30.29\00:15:34.40
and all the rest
of the charlatans.
00:15:34.43\00:15:36.77
Now, I wanna read you a text.
00:15:36.80\00:15:38.87
Matthew 24:11, now we
started with Matthew 24.
00:15:38.90\00:15:43.27
Basically, today we're staying
most of the time in Matthew 24.
00:15:43.30\00:15:48.18
Matthew 24:11 and 24, says,
00:15:48.21\00:15:53.62
"Then many false
prophets will rise up
00:15:53.65\00:15:56.92
and deceive many.
00:15:56.95\00:16:00.59
For false Christs and
false prophets will rise
00:16:00.62\00:16:05.06
and show great signs
and wonders to deceive,
00:16:05.09\00:16:08.90
if possible, even the elect."
00:16:08.93\00:16:11.67
The elected people of God.
00:16:11.70\00:16:14.74
The Bible says
that in the last days,
00:16:14.77\00:16:17.31
there is gonna be a
bunch of false preachers
00:16:17.34\00:16:21.38
and false religious teachers.
00:16:21.41\00:16:24.55
There are going
to be false prophets,
00:16:24.58\00:16:26.61
and they're going to be
preaching with great power.
00:16:26.65\00:16:31.49
It seems to me that
we've come to that time.
00:16:31.52\00:16:35.89
When I was in the
States, just a little while ago,
00:16:35.92\00:16:38.39
I was watching a
television program.
00:16:38.43\00:16:42.23
There I saw some preachers,
00:16:42.26\00:16:44.17
great church, I
was sort of astounded.
00:16:44.20\00:16:47.40
I shouldn't have been,
00:16:47.44\00:16:48.77
I should have been
expecting these things.
00:16:48.80\00:16:50.14
What was wrong with me?
00:16:50.17\00:16:53.64
Well, there are
all these preachers,
00:16:53.68\00:16:55.84
lady preachers, men preachers,
all sorts of preachers.
00:16:55.88\00:17:00.72
And they were making all
of these prophecies saying
00:17:00.75\00:17:02.98
the Lord has shown me.
00:17:03.02\00:17:05.52
We declare this to you
in the name of the Lord,
00:17:05.55\00:17:08.62
they said.
00:17:08.66\00:17:12.49
Well, few weeks went
by and it was discovered
00:17:12.53\00:17:15.03
that all their
prophecies were simply phony.
00:17:15.06\00:17:19.03
Their prophecies were as phony
as those preachers were phony.
00:17:19.07\00:17:24.44
Then as I was
watching these phony preachers,
00:17:24.47\00:17:27.84
these phony prophets,
they started to laugh.
00:17:27.88\00:17:33.75
The most hideous laughter
came out of their mouths.
00:17:33.78\00:17:37.85
I heard the demons laughing.
00:17:37.89\00:17:41.76
Then the congregation
in this great church
00:17:41.79\00:17:44.13
in the United States,
00:17:44.16\00:17:45.49
they started to
laugh, laugh, laugh.
00:17:45.53\00:17:48.40
The amazing thing is that
00:17:51.87\00:17:53.20
when their
prophecies came false,
00:17:53.23\00:17:55.27
nobody said they
were false prophets,
00:17:55.30\00:17:57.17
they still went
along, believing them.
00:17:57.21\00:18:00.41
None of those false
prophets got up and said, hey,
00:18:00.44\00:18:03.28
we deceived you, our
prophecies were wrong.
00:18:03.31\00:18:06.82
We got it wrong.
00:18:06.85\00:18:08.18
No, they said.
00:18:08.22\00:18:10.42
Jesus told us what to say.
00:18:10.45\00:18:12.69
We're preaching what
Jesus told us to say.
00:18:12.72\00:18:16.09
Then they had a few
more little bits of laughter.
00:18:16.12\00:18:20.76
And millions of people
still believing these people.
00:18:20.80\00:18:26.30
Now this is a wake-up call
to America and every person
00:18:26.33\00:18:29.90
who calls himself a Christian,
don't believe the phonies.
00:18:29.94\00:18:35.48
You're listening to
me, believe in Jesus,
00:18:35.51\00:18:38.85
and read your Bibles,
become intelligently informed.
00:18:38.88\00:18:42.88
"Then what should we expect?"
00:18:45.92\00:18:47.59
What should we expect, Wayne?
00:18:50.63\00:18:52.99
We should expect
more of the same.
00:18:53.03\00:18:58.37
More and more, more intense.
00:18:58.40\00:19:01.34
Jesus said, these
are the birth pains,
00:19:01.37\00:19:05.54
wars, famines,
pestilences, phony preachers,
00:19:05.57\00:19:10.48
false prophets, persecution,
00:19:10.51\00:19:13.28
more and more of the same.
00:19:13.31\00:19:16.95
But remember, the
good news is this,
00:19:16.99\00:19:19.02
Christ is going to come.
00:19:19.05\00:19:23.12
"Do you see persecution
happening in America?"
00:19:23.16\00:19:25.93
You know what Dr.
Billy Graham said, don't you?
00:19:29.10\00:19:32.23
Dr. Billy Graham
said a few years ago.
00:19:32.27\00:19:34.90
He said, "Christians can be,
00:19:34.94\00:19:37.61
can expect to be persecuted
by their own government here
00:19:37.64\00:19:42.11
in the United
States of America."
00:19:42.14\00:19:46.61
That's what he said.
00:19:46.65\00:19:48.45
Dr. Billy Graham said,
00:19:48.48\00:19:49.92
"Christians can
expect to be persecuted
00:19:49.95\00:19:53.52
by their own government here
00:19:53.56\00:19:55.39
in the United
States of America."
00:19:55.42\00:19:57.43
America was founded by people
00:19:57.46\00:19:59.63
who believed in
religious liberty.
00:19:59.66\00:20:04.70
Freedom, that freedom ring.
00:20:04.73\00:20:08.74
But not everybody
has the same spirit,
00:20:08.77\00:20:12.07
as was in the
hearts of the people
00:20:12.11\00:20:14.98
who gave us the Bill of
Rights and the Constitution.
00:20:15.01\00:20:18.25
There's a spirit of
intolerance in the land.
00:20:21.48\00:20:24.75
There are some people
00:20:24.79\00:20:26.12
who believe in
religious liberty,
00:20:26.15\00:20:27.96
and freedom of speech,
00:20:27.99\00:20:29.32
and they say it over
and over and over again,
00:20:29.36\00:20:31.89
they believe in
it for themselves,
00:20:31.93\00:20:35.03
but not for you, not for me.
00:20:35.06\00:20:39.93
Remember the baker in Colorado,
00:20:39.97\00:20:44.67
inoffensive,
decent, Christian man.
00:20:44.71\00:20:48.64
People from the far left
00:20:48.68\00:20:52.55
with a certain sexual
agenda came to him and said,
00:20:52.58\00:20:57.12
"You got to bake a cake.
00:20:57.15\00:21:00.82
And on top of that cake,
00:21:00.86\00:21:02.19
I want you to have
something that acclaims
00:21:02.22\00:21:05.09
and applauds same sex marriage."
00:21:05.13\00:21:09.40
He said, "I can't do it.
00:21:09.43\00:21:11.67
It goes against my religion."
00:21:11.70\00:21:13.44
They said,
"You're going to do it."
00:21:13.47\00:21:15.94
He said, "Don't you
believe in freedom?"
00:21:15.97\00:21:17.61
"Yeah, we believe
in freedom, all right."
00:21:17.64\00:21:20.88
But freedom only for themselves.
00:21:20.91\00:21:24.65
And later on, it
took a long, long time
00:21:24.68\00:21:26.45
and a lot of money
and a lot of persecution
00:21:26.48\00:21:28.25
because this man, a Christian,
00:21:28.28\00:21:30.69
was being persecuted
by his own government
00:21:30.72\00:21:33.69
in the United States of America.
00:21:33.72\00:21:36.76
But the Supreme
Court weighed in.
00:21:36.79\00:21:40.56
And so the government in
Colorado backed off a bit,
00:21:40.60\00:21:44.13
but they come on again,
and they continue to come on.
00:21:44.17\00:21:48.07
Because there is a tremendous
spirit of intolerance today
00:21:48.10\00:21:51.57
from people who
believe in freedom,
00:21:51.61\00:21:54.51
but only for themselves.
00:21:54.54\00:21:56.61
Jesus said, "You
will be persecuted."
00:21:56.64\00:22:00.12
And Billy Graham said,
00:22:00.15\00:22:01.48
"Christians in America
can expect to be persecuted
00:22:01.52\00:22:04.85
by their own government."
00:22:04.89\00:22:06.22
We've already seen it.
00:22:06.25\00:22:09.72
"So why does this
persecution take place?"
00:22:09.76\00:22:13.46
Why does persecution take place?
00:22:16.46\00:22:19.07
Because of the intolerance
of the sinful human heart.
00:22:19.10\00:22:24.31
I want to tell
you, folks, something.
00:22:24.34\00:22:26.17
There's only one solution
to the problem facing America
00:22:26.21\00:22:29.74
and around the world.
00:22:29.78\00:22:32.11
And that is not
more legislation.
00:22:32.15\00:22:34.48
No, no, no.
00:22:34.52\00:22:36.55
I don't think we
need more legislation.
00:22:36.58\00:22:38.72
What is needed is
a spiritual rebirth.
00:22:38.75\00:22:42.99
Jesus said, "You
got to be born again."
00:22:43.02\00:22:45.86
Now let me read
you another text here.
00:22:45.89\00:22:48.13
Matthew 24:9, New
King James Version,
00:22:48.16\00:22:53.03
Jesus said, "Then
they will deliver you up
00:22:53.07\00:22:56.67
to tribulation and kill you."
00:22:56.71\00:23:01.78
The hatred is going
to become so intense
00:23:01.81\00:23:04.31
against the law of
God and the people of God,
00:23:04.35\00:23:07.18
that in the end
they're going to kill you.
00:23:07.22\00:23:11.35
We're seeing a
tremendous cultural change today
00:23:11.39\00:23:14.12
in America and around the world.
00:23:14.16\00:23:18.43
"And you will be
hated by all nations
00:23:18.46\00:23:20.83
for My name's sake."
00:23:20.86\00:23:24.10
Christians today are
the most persecuted group
00:23:24.13\00:23:29.70
on the face of the earth.
00:23:29.74\00:23:32.54
You say, "No, that's not true."
00:23:32.57\00:23:33.91
Yes, it is so.
00:23:33.94\00:23:36.44
Think of Saudi Arabia.
00:23:36.48\00:23:39.81
If you're found to be a
Christian in Saudi Arabia,
00:23:39.85\00:23:42.28
you'll be put to death.
00:23:42.32\00:23:44.55
Bibles are not
allowed in Saudi Arabia.
00:23:44.59\00:23:48.89
You go right
throughout the Middle East.
00:23:48.92\00:23:51.86
Muslim countries do not
believe in freedom of religion,
00:23:51.89\00:23:56.56
except for themselves.
00:23:56.60\00:23:59.03
You can't go to those
countries and preach the gospel.
00:23:59.07\00:24:03.64
If you do, you'll go to prison,
or else you'll be put to death.
00:24:03.67\00:24:08.41
In Africa,
00:24:08.44\00:24:10.75
90% of the African countries
00:24:10.78\00:24:14.18
are dictatorships.
00:24:14.22\00:24:17.12
You say, "I never knew that."
00:24:17.15\00:24:18.49
Well, know it now.
00:24:18.52\00:24:20.56
Ninety percent of
the African countries
00:24:20.59\00:24:23.43
are
dictatorships and many of them
00:24:23.46\00:24:26.23
persecute their own people.
00:24:26.26\00:24:28.90
Egypt persecutes Christians,
all of the Muslim countries.
00:24:28.93\00:24:34.00
China.
00:24:34.04\00:24:35.37
China is the great
persecutor of Christ.
00:24:35.40\00:24:39.01
In China today, there are more
than 100 million Christians,
00:24:39.04\00:24:43.95
did you hear this?
00:24:43.98\00:24:45.31
You can't kill Christ and
you can't kill His church.
00:24:45.35\00:24:49.72
A hundred million Christians,
00:24:49.75\00:24:52.59
but most
Christians meet in secret,
00:24:52.62\00:24:56.49
and those who tried
to build churches often
00:24:56.52\00:24:58.29
have their
churches with their crosses,
00:24:58.33\00:25:01.20
bulldoze down by
the communist officials.
00:25:01.23\00:25:05.27
Atheism and communism
00:25:05.30\00:25:09.04
are totalitarian powers
00:25:09.07\00:25:11.54
and they are
against Christ and God.
00:25:11.57\00:25:15.11
Atheism is intolerant.
00:25:15.14\00:25:16.68
Think of Russia
during the 70 years
00:25:16.71\00:25:20.58
when the communists and
the atheist ruled Russia.
00:25:20.62\00:25:26.39
Seventy million
innocent people were murdered,
00:25:26.42\00:25:30.49
and many of them
00:25:30.53\00:25:31.86
because of
their Christian faith.
00:25:31.89\00:25:35.26
But I've got news for you good
folks listening to me today.
00:25:35.30\00:25:39.00
You can't kill Christ,
and you can't kill the church,
00:25:39.03\00:25:43.67
and the truth is marching on
00:25:43.71\00:25:45.64
and the truth
is going to thrive,
00:25:45.67\00:25:48.21
so help us God.
00:25:48.24\00:25:49.94
Amen. Amen.
00:25:49.98\00:25:51.58
Jesus said, "All
authority has been given to Me
00:26:05.49\00:26:08.76
in heaven and on earth.
00:26:08.80\00:26:11.03
Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations,
00:26:11.07\00:26:15.50
baptizing them in
the name of the Father
00:26:15.54\00:26:18.01
and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit."
00:26:18.04\00:26:23.28
John Carter reports,
"We have seen God's power
00:26:23.31\00:26:26.72
as the Gospel of Christ
has been proclaimed in Africa,
00:26:26.75\00:26:32.09
India, Russia,
00:26:32.12\00:26:37.19
Ukraine, Cuba,
00:26:37.23\00:26:43.00
El Salvador, and
many other places.
00:26:43.03\00:26:46.74
We invite you to partner with us
00:26:46.77\00:26:49.77
in proclaiming Jesus Christ."
00:26:49.80\00:26:51.84
To God be the glory,
00:26:55.48\00:26:58.55
great things He has done.
