Welcome to the Carter Report
at the Sir John Guise Stadium
00:00:01.40\00:00:03.74
in Port Moresby,
Papua New Guinea.
00:00:03.77\00:00:06.12
More than 100,000
souls are in attendance
00:00:06.15\00:00:09.44
and John Carter is
preaching the word of God.
00:00:09.47\00:00:11.93
The Great
congregation sits motionless.
00:00:11.96\00:00:14.42
They are spellbound, not
by the oratory of the speaker
00:00:14.45\00:00:17.74
but by the spirit of God as
He bares witness to His word.
00:00:17.77\00:00:21.94
An atmosphere
of divine solemnity
00:00:21.97\00:00:24.62
mingled with a holy
joy pervades the stadium
00:00:24.65\00:00:27.94
and spills out to the
thousands gathered outside.
00:00:27.97\00:00:31.48
Night by night, in
weather fair and foul,
00:00:31.51\00:00:34.42
the old warrior preaches on.
00:00:34.45\00:00:36.73
Tens of
thousands come to Christ.
00:00:36.76\00:00:39.18
Thousands are baptized
in the sea at Ela beach
00:00:39.21\00:00:42.40
and still more press forward
to publicly confess Christ.
00:00:42.43\00:00:46.66
Now this is your opportunity
00:00:46.69\00:00:48.99
to be a part of what many
have called a new Pentecost.
00:00:49.02\00:00:52.94
Welcome to the Carter Report
at the Sir John Guise Stadium
00:00:52.97\00:00:56.67
in Port Moresby,
Papua New Guinea.
00:00:56.70\00:01:02.27
Are you folks ready for
a great meeting tonight?
00:01:02.30\00:01:05.91
I better hear it from you.
00:01:05.94\00:01:08.03
Are you ready for
a divine encounter?
00:01:08.06\00:01:12.84
Are you ready for this?
00:01:12.87\00:01:16.59
I'm glad to hear you are
talking back to me tonight,
00:01:16.62\00:01:18.76
because you are
just a great audience.
00:01:18.79\00:01:21.11
Tonight's topic is
"Visitors from other Worlds."
00:01:21.14\00:01:27.19
And the amazing wonders
of our inhabited universe.
00:01:27.22\00:01:35.19
Now listen very, very carefully.
00:01:35.22\00:01:39.65
If you want to
be a happy person,
00:01:39.68\00:01:42.91
you've got to have the answers
00:01:42.94\00:01:44.67
to a number of very
important questions.
00:01:44.70\00:01:49.04
And here there are, if
you don't understand this,
00:01:49.07\00:01:52.08
you never going
to be a happy person.
00:01:52.11\00:01:56.19
It doesn't matter so
much where you were born?
00:01:56.22\00:02:00.62
What country you come from?
00:02:00.65\00:02:02.88
But it all
depends upon your knowing
00:02:02.91\00:02:06.17
the answers to these questions.
00:02:06.20\00:02:08.08
Number one, who am I?
00:02:08.11\00:02:11.89
The Russians for 70 years
were taught by the atheist,
00:02:11.92\00:02:15.76
that they were nothing
more than a bit of junk.
00:02:15.79\00:02:21.83
At the best an animal,
at the worst a machine.
00:02:21.86\00:02:26.56
Are you an
animal, are you a machine
00:02:26.59\00:02:29.49
or are you a child of God?
00:02:29.52\00:02:33.22
That's what we are
going to talk about tonight.
00:02:33.25\00:02:35.01
Where did I come
from is a great question.
00:02:35.04\00:02:38.86
Am I the product, listen
to this, this is not too deep.
00:02:38.89\00:02:42.97
Am I the product of time,
00:02:43.00\00:02:46.64
plus matter, plus chance?
00:02:46.67\00:02:52.05
Am I a cosmic
accident or was I created
00:02:52.08\00:02:59.33
by an Almighty God who loves me?
00:02:59.36\00:03:02.54
Many people will tell you
00:03:02.57\00:03:04.12
that there is no
purpose to your life.
00:03:04.15\00:03:07.01
Where did i come
from? Why I'm here?
00:03:10.00\00:03:14.72
And where am I going? Do
you know where you are going?
00:03:14.75\00:03:22.72
Do you know for a certainty
00:03:22.75\00:03:27.13
that you are living
according to a divine plan
00:03:27.16\00:03:31.90
and that you are
somebody important and special
00:03:31.93\00:03:36.38
even if you
don't have much money?
00:03:36.41\00:03:39.57
Because one day
you're going to be richer
00:03:39.60\00:03:43.50
than all the pharaohs of
Egypt, did you hear this?
00:03:43.53\00:03:47.90
You are going to be richer
than all the pharaohs of Egypt.
00:03:47.93\00:03:55.90
Tonight we are gonna
take you to the stars.
00:03:55.93\00:04:00.04
You are gonna
just love this tonight
00:04:00.07\00:04:03.16
as we lift you up,
take you to the stars.
00:04:03.19\00:04:06.04
Every one of those little
specks on the screen is a galaxy
00:04:06.07\00:04:11.31
composed of
billions and billions
00:04:11.34\00:04:15.49
and billions of blazing suns.
00:04:15.52\00:04:18.66
Listen to me,
when I was a small boy
00:04:18.69\00:04:22.58
growing up in
Brisbane, Queensland.
00:04:22.61\00:04:26.45
And I married a Queenslander
00:04:26.48\00:04:29.40
and her father fought right here
00:04:29.43\00:04:34.70
in this part of the
world of the Kokoda Trail.
00:04:34.73\00:04:39.91
He fought side by side
00:04:39.94\00:04:43.29
with your fathers
and your grandfathers.
00:04:43.32\00:04:46.39
So I want you to
know, that you and I
00:04:46.42\00:04:49.33
have got something in
common together tonight.
00:04:49.36\00:04:53.45
I want you to know that.
00:04:53.48\00:04:57.42
I'm not just a
foreigner, who has come in here,
00:04:57.45\00:04:59.85
but I'm your friend
and I'm your brother,
00:04:59.88\00:05:02.31
I want you to know that.
00:05:02.34\00:05:05.71
Now listen to me,
when I was little boy
00:05:05.74\00:05:07.66
growing up in Brisbane,
which is a beautiful city.
00:05:07.69\00:05:10.32
I asked my mother the question,
00:05:10.35\00:05:13.47
because I was always
interested in astronomy,
00:05:13.50\00:05:15.80
I asked her the question.
00:05:15.83\00:05:17.47
Where does the universe start?
Where does the universe end?
00:05:17.50\00:05:21.36
It's a good question,
because I had the idea
00:05:21.39\00:05:24.60
that somewhere out there in
space there was a brick wall
00:05:24.63\00:05:29.46
and on the other
side of the brick wall
00:05:29.49\00:05:32.22
it was the end of the universe.
00:05:32.25\00:05:35.77
I've asked the question,
time after time since that day.
00:05:35.80\00:05:40.61
How vast is the
universe? How big are the stars?
00:05:40.64\00:05:44.20
How many stars? How
big are the galaxies?
00:05:44.23\00:05:47.71
How many galaxies are there?
00:05:47.74\00:05:50.00
How important is this
little "Cosmic Speck of Dust"
00:05:50.03\00:05:55.29
that we call planet Earth?
00:05:55.32\00:05:58.08
You folks
listening to me tonight?
00:05:58.11\00:06:00.98
This is pretty important,
who is God? Where is God?
00:06:01.01\00:06:07.36
Within all of us there
is the consciousness of God.
00:06:07.39\00:06:10.86
I don't care whether you
are a white person in America,
00:06:10.89\00:06:14.08
a black person in America.
00:06:14.11\00:06:15.81
I don't care about
the color of your skin,
00:06:15.84\00:06:18.57
because God doesn't.
00:06:18.60\00:06:21.28
I want you to know
something God hates racism,
00:06:21.31\00:06:26.02
and God hates-- God
hates, no He loves people,
00:06:26.05\00:06:29.28
but He hates the sin of racism,
where people hate each other
00:06:29.31\00:06:35.07
because of how they look.
00:06:35.10\00:06:39.95
What is this God like?
00:06:39.98\00:06:43.57
I want you to
know, He is a good God
00:06:43.60\00:06:46.96
and within every one of us
00:06:46.99\00:06:48.67
there is the
consciousness of God.
00:06:48.70\00:06:50.79
We are born with it,
you can't get away from it.
00:06:50.82\00:06:55.00
The great Roman Catholic
theologian, St Augustine said,
00:06:55.03\00:06:58.57
"Our souls were made for God
00:06:58.60\00:07:01.16
and they cannot rest
until they rest in Him."
00:07:01.19\00:07:04.95
There may be a man or a
woman sitting there tonight
00:07:04.98\00:07:07.52
and you're not
happy, you know what,
00:07:07.55\00:07:11.09
you think money is
going to make you happy.
00:07:11.12\00:07:13.98
That's a foolish notion.
00:07:14.01\00:07:16.72
Maybe some of you
are sitting here tonight
00:07:16.75\00:07:18.71
and inside you there is
a vacuum and an emptiness,
00:07:18.74\00:07:24.34
only God can
fill that my friend.
00:07:24.37\00:07:27.34
And not some little
god out in the jungle,
00:07:27.37\00:07:30.31
not some little
idol, but the great God
00:07:30.34\00:07:34.85
who made the universe.
00:07:34.88\00:07:40.89
Did you know we live
in an expanding universe?
00:07:40.92\00:07:47.37
There's a great picture
that was taken many years ago
00:07:47.40\00:07:50.80
of the great Professor Einstein
00:07:50.83\00:07:53.14
talking to the
great Professor Hubble
00:07:53.17\00:07:55.74
after whom the telescope is
named, the Hubble telescope.
00:07:55.77\00:08:02.42
The great
professor is showing pictures
00:08:02.45\00:08:08.30
from the stars that showed
that the universe is expanding.
00:08:08.33\00:08:15.69
It's expanding in some places
almost at the speed of light
00:08:15.72\00:08:23.51
which is 186,000 miles a second.
00:08:23.54\00:08:29.39
And all of the galaxies
00:08:29.42\00:08:32.18
are moving away from each other.
00:08:32.21\00:08:39.26
We live in an
expanding universe.
00:08:39.29\00:08:43.95
Many, many years scientists
believed that the universe
00:08:43.98\00:08:48.86
had never had a beginning.
00:08:48.89\00:08:50.83
They believed in the Steady
State theory of the universe.
00:08:50.86\00:08:55.51
So they did not believe
in an origin of the universe,
00:08:55.54\00:08:59.39
such as the Bible teaches.
00:08:59.42\00:09:01.79
But this book I've
got in my hands tonight,
00:09:01.82\00:09:04.89
which is the Holy Bible
tells me in Genesis 1:1,
00:09:04.92\00:09:10.17
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth."
00:09:10.20\00:09:16.79
God created the
heavens and the earth.
00:09:16.82\00:09:22.06
When it said the
heavens, it meant the universe.
00:09:22.09\00:09:25.21
"In the beginning God
created heavens and the earth."
00:09:25.24\00:09:29.80
The Bible spoke about a
beginning of the universe.
00:09:29.83\00:09:34.20
Scientists and even Einstein
until he was an old man believed
00:09:34.23\00:09:39.26
that the universe
had always been there.
00:09:39.29\00:09:44.59
But Professor
Hubble brought the pictures
00:09:44.62\00:09:47.31
that showed to
Professor Einstein
00:09:47.34\00:09:50.59
that the
universe had a beginning.
00:09:50.62\00:09:53.81
And one of America's greatest
scientists Dr. Jastrow of NASA
00:09:53.84\00:10:00.32
wrote an article
recently, he said,
00:10:00.35\00:10:02.65
all of this caught
us by surprise, he said,
00:10:02.68\00:10:06.20
"we had not expected to
find an abrupt beginning
00:10:06.23\00:10:10.48
to the universe we had
always thought it was there."
00:10:10.51\00:10:14.80
He said, "Now we know,
00:10:14.83\00:10:17.97
it is true that the
Bible is correct, when it says,
00:10:18.00\00:10:23.05
'In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.'"
00:10:23.08\00:10:31.05
I want you to know this.
00:10:31.08\00:10:33.48
Now scientists
have got a name for it.
00:10:33.51\00:10:36.04
Look at these
pictures from NASA.
00:10:36.07\00:10:39.03
Look at these island universes,
look at these galaxies.
00:10:39.06\00:10:44.97
Those galaxies are composed
a billions of blazing suns.
00:10:45.00\00:10:50.96
Not millions, but
billions of blazing suns.
00:10:50.99\00:10:55.95
And the Bible says,
00:10:55.98\00:10:57.80
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth."
00:10:57.83\00:11:01.90
The Bible was right.
00:11:01.93\00:11:05.14
'Cause the Bible taught
that there was a beginning
00:11:05.17\00:11:09.56
and scientists now know
that there was a beginning
00:11:09.59\00:11:12.72
and they call it,
don't be afraid of the term,
00:11:12.75\00:11:15.64
they call it, The "Big Bang."
00:11:15.67\00:11:19.77
Listen how big is the universe?
00:11:19.80\00:11:22.73
Well, we are going to have a
just a little game here tonight.
00:11:22.76\00:11:26.77
And I'm going to go
over here to the blackboard
00:11:26.80\00:11:29.53
and I'm going to put up a little
drawing of the Milky Way system.
00:11:29.56\00:11:35.46
At the
beginning of the Milky Way
00:11:35.49\00:11:39.08
there is a black hole.
00:11:39.11\00:11:43.45
It exerts a
tremendous gravitational pull
00:11:43.48\00:11:48.41
and everything in
the Milky Way system
00:11:48.44\00:11:52.46
is revolving
around the black hole.
00:11:52.49\00:11:58.10
And 30,000 light years
from the center of our galaxy
00:11:58.13\00:12:05.06
is a tiny little planet
and it is called planet Earth.
00:12:05.09\00:12:11.15
It is in the only
place in the galaxy
00:12:11.18\00:12:17.34
where life can survive.
00:12:17.37\00:12:20.04
If our planet was up here
00:12:20.07\00:12:24.06
towards the
center of the universe,
00:12:24.09\00:12:26.79
if it was down here
00:12:26.82\00:12:28.49
we could not live,
we could not survive
00:12:28.52\00:12:32.82
and in this
great Milky Way system.
00:12:32.85\00:12:36.62
Now you wait for it
friend, in the Milky Way system
00:12:36.65\00:12:40.42
of which we are
a tiny little part
00:12:40.45\00:12:42.96
there are 200,000
million blazing suns,
00:12:42.99\00:12:50.96
and some astronomers are saying,
00:12:50.99\00:12:54.06
that is a conservative figure
00:12:54.09\00:12:56.92
may be there are 400 billion
suns in the Milky Way system.
00:12:56.95\00:13:04.86
And if you go across
the Milky Way system,
00:13:04.89\00:13:08.35
traveling at the speed of light.
00:13:08.38\00:13:10.24
And this is our
backyard, if you go across
00:13:10.27\00:13:13.38
the Milky Way
system it takes you
00:13:13.41\00:13:15.96
traveling at
186,000 miles a second
00:13:15.99\00:13:18.51
it takes you a 120,000 years.
00:13:18.54\00:13:24.89
This is our Milky Way system.
00:13:24.92\00:13:28.10
Now listen, I want to
tell you folks something,
00:13:28.13\00:13:32.39
because this is
sort of astounding.
00:13:32.42\00:13:36.66
How many stars
could be in the universe?
00:13:36.69\00:13:42.39
How many stars
up there in space?
00:13:42.42\00:13:47.86
We now know this,
now wait for this.
00:13:47.89\00:13:54.83
We now know this,
this is conservative.
00:13:54.86\00:13:58.68
The Milky Way alone
has 200 billion stars.
00:13:58.71\00:14:03.46
But there are 200 billion
galaxies like the Milky Way.
00:14:03.49\00:14:10.79
I want you to think about this.
00:14:13.85\00:14:16.07
How many stars in universe?
00:14:16.10\00:14:19.96
Well let's have
a little bit of fun
00:14:19.99\00:14:21.36
here tonight in Port Moresby.
00:14:21.39\00:14:22.96
And let's do a
little bit of mathematics.
00:14:22.99\00:14:26.22
Look at this how many stars?
00:14:26.25\00:14:28.38
Let's say the
average number of stars
00:14:28.41\00:14:30.48
for galaxy same as in
our system, 200 billion.
00:14:30.51\00:14:35.02
And we know there
are 200 billion galaxies
00:14:35.05\00:14:39.08
the total number of
stars in the universe is 40...
00:14:39.11\00:14:43.57
It is that?
00:14:46.63\00:14:50.88
It's an incredible figure.
00:14:50.91\00:14:53.19
This would give us
00:14:53.22\00:14:54.68
the total number of
blazing suns in the universe.
00:14:54.71\00:15:01.32
And the Bible
says, "In the beginning
00:15:01.35\00:15:04.46
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:15:04.49\00:15:07.35
The total number of
stars it is 40 with 21 zeros
00:15:07.38\00:15:14.22
that means 40,000
quadrillion stars.
00:15:14.25\00:15:20.06
And they are expanding,
everything is expanding.
00:15:20.09\00:15:24.64
I've got so much
amazing stuff I can tell you.
00:15:24.67\00:15:28.19
Listen, you don't have to
remember all of this stuff,
00:15:28.22\00:15:34.13
but this is absolutely true.
00:15:34.16\00:15:38.70
What we see out there tonight,
00:15:38.73\00:15:40.32
I want you go and
see on the screens,
00:15:40.35\00:15:43.82
is less than 1%
00:15:43.85\00:15:48.23
of the universe
00:15:48.26\00:15:49.63
because 99% of the universe
00:15:49.66\00:15:52.38
is made up of listen,
00:15:52.41\00:15:56.01
dark matter.
00:15:56.04\00:15:59.74
God said in the book of Job,
00:15:59.77\00:16:02.35
do you know
where darkness dwells?
00:16:02.38\00:16:08.55
The vast
majority of the universe
00:16:08.58\00:16:12.45
is made up of stuff
that we cannot photograph.
00:16:12.48\00:16:17.34
We notice there because
it has a gravitational pull.
00:16:17.37\00:16:22.99
We notice there we
can feel the effect of it.
00:16:23.02\00:16:26.29
Now listen to this.
00:16:26.32\00:16:28.51
Not only is there dark matter,
00:16:28.54\00:16:32.57
but there's dark energy
and we don't know what it is,
00:16:32.60\00:16:37.30
but the dark energy is driving
the expansion of the universe.
00:16:37.33\00:16:44.92
And it is so finely
tuned, it is inconceivable
00:16:44.95\00:16:51.57
to the human mind that this
could have happened by itself.
00:16:51.60\00:16:58.80
Now you've all heard
of Napoleon the Great.
00:16:58.83\00:17:03.13
One day, one night he was
out on the Mediterranean Sea
00:17:03.16\00:17:07.43
on one of his warships and his
officers were standing around
00:17:07.46\00:17:12.72
and they were
talking about the question,
00:17:12.75\00:17:16.20
"Is there a God?"
00:17:16.23\00:17:17.86
They had been in
the French Revolution
00:17:17.89\00:17:19.88
and they got rid
of God they thought,
00:17:19.91\00:17:21.69
"How do you get rid of God?"
00:17:21.72\00:17:23.36
You can't vote God out,
00:17:23.39\00:17:24.76
you don't have an
election get rid of God.
00:17:24.79\00:17:28.60
And after a
while of heated debate,
00:17:28.63\00:17:30.73
they turned to
Napoleon and they said,
00:17:30.76\00:17:33.77
they said, what
you think Sir, Sire?
00:17:33.80\00:17:38.80
Is there a God and
Napoleon throw open his cloak
00:17:38.83\00:17:43.03
and he shrugged his arm
up to the skies and he said,
00:17:43.06\00:17:46.32
gentlemen, "If there is no God,
00:17:46.35\00:17:49.09
then pray tell me
who made the stars?"
00:17:49.12\00:17:53.65
That's the question
I want to ask tonight
00:17:53.68\00:17:55.55
to the
skeptics, to the atheists.
00:17:55.58\00:17:58.12
I want you to be
intellectually honest
00:17:58.15\00:18:00.00
with yourself and with
God, if there is no Creator God,
00:18:00.03\00:18:05.78
then pray tell me
who made the stars?
00:18:05.81\00:18:11.32
When you look at the stars
there was overwhelming evidence
00:18:11.35\00:18:17.66
that there is a
great and a wonderful
00:18:17.69\00:18:22.96
and a marvelous Creator.
00:18:22.99\00:18:25.79
I'm going to take my Bible
00:18:25.82\00:18:27.27
and I'm going to turn
to the Book of Isaiah 40.
00:18:27.30\00:18:30.90
And I'm going to
read some texts there
00:18:30.93\00:18:33.22
and I'm going to put
these texts up on the screen.
00:18:33.25\00:18:35.99
The men are going to put
them there now. Isaiah 40.
00:18:36.02\00:18:42.19
The Bible says,
"Surely the nations
00:18:42.22\00:18:45.18
are like a drop in a bucket;
00:18:45.21\00:18:47.25
they are regarded
as dust on the scales."
00:18:47.28\00:18:51.55
We're just like dust.
00:18:51.58\00:18:54.46
"He weighs the islands as though
00:18:54.49\00:18:56.20
they were fine
dust," the Bible says.
00:18:56.23\00:18:59.85
He is so big and keep on
going, I want to read this text.
00:18:59.88\00:19:03.65
"He sits enthroned above
the circle of the earth."
00:19:03.68\00:19:07.25
The Bible
thousands of years ago,
00:19:07.28\00:19:09.75
when people talked
the earth was flat,
00:19:09.78\00:19:11.97
it spoke about the
circle of the earth.
00:19:12.00\00:19:15.41
"And it' people
are like grasshoppers.
00:19:15.44\00:19:20.53
He stretches out the
heavens like a canopy."
00:19:20.56\00:19:24.18
That's the
expansion of the universe.
00:19:24.21\00:19:26.69
"And spreads them out
like a tent to live in."
00:19:26.72\00:19:32.06
"'To whom will you
compare me? Or who is my equal?'
00:19:32.09\00:19:35.64
says the Holy one."
Listen to these words.
00:19:35.67\00:19:39.38
"Lift your eyes and
look to the heavens:
00:19:39.41\00:19:42.17
who created all these?
00:19:42.20\00:19:44.05
He who brings out the
starry host one by one,
00:19:44.08\00:19:48.58
and calls them each by name.
00:19:48.61\00:19:50.95
Because of his great
power and mighty strength,
00:19:50.98\00:19:54.83
not one of them is
missing." He is almighty.
00:19:54.86\00:19:59.19
"Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
00:19:59.22\00:20:01.66
The Lord is the everlasting God,
00:20:01.69\00:20:06.22
the Creator of
the ends of the earth.
00:20:06.25\00:20:08.67
He will not grow tired or weary,
00:20:08.70\00:20:10.87
and his
understanding no one can fathom.
00:20:10.90\00:20:15.29
He gives strength to the weary
00:20:15.32\00:20:17.62
and increases the
power of the weak."
00:20:17.65\00:20:23.05
Then it says, even young people
00:20:23.08\00:20:26.99
will grow tired and get weary.
00:20:27.02\00:20:31.53
But those who trust in a
Lord will renew their strength.
00:20:31.56\00:20:38.66
The Bible says they will
soar on wings like eagles
00:20:38.69\00:20:43.83
they will run
and not grow weary.
00:20:43.86\00:20:46.98
They will walk and not faint.
00:20:47.01\00:20:49.16
I want you to know
this, now listen carefully.
00:20:49.19\00:20:52.79
You may say tonight, you
don't understand my situation,
00:20:52.82\00:20:58.32
maybe I don't, but God does.
00:20:58.35\00:21:00.30
You may say, I've
got a huge problem,
00:21:00.33\00:21:02.87
I've got a huge health problem,
00:21:02.90\00:21:04.64
I've got a huge
financial problem,
00:21:04.67\00:21:06.64
I've got a huge social problem.
00:21:06.67\00:21:08.50
I want you to know this tonight,
00:21:08.53\00:21:10.52
that the God who
made the universe
00:21:10.55\00:21:13.39
is bigger than your problems.
00:21:13.42\00:21:18.04
I want you to know this tonight
00:21:18.07\00:21:19.90
and I want to
hear from you tonight.
00:21:19.93\00:21:22.93
I want to hear from you tonight.
I want you to know tonight.
00:21:22.96\00:21:26.57
If you and I can learn to trust
the Creator of the universe,
00:21:26.60\00:21:33.05
He has the solution
for every human problem.
00:21:33.08\00:21:38.96
He has the
solution to my problem
00:21:38.99\00:21:42.33
and He's got the solution
for your problem tonight.
00:21:42.36\00:21:46.27
And the purpose of
this meeting is to get us
00:21:46.30\00:21:49.53
to reach out and touch the
great Creator of the universe.
00:21:49.56\00:21:54.66
Listen to me, listen to this.
00:21:54.69\00:21:58.22
Now this is going
to get a bit heavy,
00:21:58.25\00:22:00.41
but I want to
tell you something.
00:22:00.44\00:22:02.94
When I was a boy going
to college in Australia,
00:22:02.97\00:22:06.92
I was so poor in those days.
00:22:06.95\00:22:11.26
I didn't know how I was
going to pay my school fees.
00:22:11.29\00:22:15.11
I'm sure we've got
students here tonight.
00:22:15.14\00:22:17.33
And some of you are
poor, but no poor than I was.
00:22:17.36\00:22:23.59
I was a poor student.
00:22:23.62\00:22:25.22
I didn't know how
to pay my school fees.
00:22:25.25\00:22:29.97
And one night I went out
and I looked up at the stars.
00:22:30.00\00:22:34.53
I was discouraged, I was
depressed, I was beaten up,
00:22:34.56\00:22:38.47
and I went out and I
looked up at the stars.
00:22:38.50\00:22:42.04
And as I opened my heart up
to the God who made the stars,
00:22:42.07\00:22:47.19
there came a
tremendous peace in my heart.
00:22:47.22\00:22:51.50
And I knew that God
was alive and the God
00:22:51.53\00:22:54.79
who made the stars
would take care of me.
00:22:54.82\00:22:59.05
I want you to know tonight,
00:22:59.08\00:23:00.92
if you can
learn in this meeting,
00:23:00.95\00:23:02.93
if you can learn to trust
the God who made the stars.
00:23:02.96\00:23:07.42
You are going to
have a tremendous peace
00:23:07.45\00:23:10.94
and you're going to have
00:23:10.97\00:23:12.43
a tremendous power
and a tremendous joy.
00:23:12.46\00:23:15.84
Now what I'm going to tell you,
00:23:15.87\00:23:18.85
this you got to
really think hard.
00:23:18.88\00:23:21.96
This is not just
for university students,
00:23:21.99\00:23:24.75
it is not just for professors,
00:23:24.78\00:23:27.80
it's for every
person here tonight.
00:23:27.83\00:23:29.59
But you got to concentrate.
00:23:29.62\00:23:32.62
Do you know what a dime is?
00:23:32.65\00:23:35.46
A dime, dime is like 5 cents.
00:23:35.49\00:23:41.80
You know, what 5
cents, about this big.
00:23:41.83\00:23:45.49
How big is a 5 cent piece?
00:23:45.52\00:23:49.14
Well, it's
tiny. How heavy is it?
00:23:49.17\00:23:52.34
It's very, very light.
00:23:52.37\00:23:56.02
Think of Papua New Guinea
in the mountains, is it heavy?
00:23:56.05\00:24:01.81
Tremendously heavy.
00:24:01.84\00:24:03.97
How heavy is Australia?
00:24:04.00\00:24:06.28
Very heavy.
00:24:06.31\00:24:07.68
How heavy is the world?
00:24:07.71\00:24:09.41
Tremendously heavy.
00:24:09.44\00:24:11.47
How heavy is a universe?
00:24:11.50\00:24:15.20
Incomprehensible.
00:24:15.23\00:24:18.78
If the universe were
heavier, listen, if the universe
00:24:18.81\00:24:24.33
were heavier or lighter
00:24:24.36\00:24:27.89
by the weight of a dime,
00:24:27.92\00:24:33.07
we would not be here tonight.
00:24:33.10\00:24:36.72
Earth would not be here tonight.
00:24:36.75\00:24:40.21
The world would
not be here tonight.
00:24:40.24\00:24:45.35
It's overwhelming.
00:24:45.38\00:24:49.86
Think of a dime
and people will tell me
00:24:49.89\00:24:53.18
all of this just
happened by chance,
00:24:53.21\00:24:56.38
I want to tell you none
of this happened by chance.
00:24:56.41\00:24:59.35
There is a great designer.
00:24:59.38\00:25:07.20
As we look up into the stars
we see so many amazing miracles
00:25:07.23\00:25:14.43
that we are forced to
say, they must be a God.
00:25:14.46\00:25:19.08
And here is the second
one, this is pretty heavy,
00:25:19.11\00:25:21.24
so you better just tune in there
and put your thinking cap on.
00:25:21.27\00:25:26.96
We call this one
the old radio dial.
00:25:26.99\00:25:31.88
I was brought up in the days
00:25:31.91\00:25:33.28
we didn't have
television, thank God.
00:25:33.31\00:25:35.95
But we had radios and we
would tune in the radio station.
00:25:35.98\00:25:41.15
Does anybody know
what I'm talking about?
00:25:41.18\00:25:45.51
I want you to think that
God is got a gravity meter.
00:25:45.54\00:25:51.13
That gravity keeps
us here on the planet.
00:25:51.16\00:25:55.32
And stops our earth
from going away from the sun.
00:25:55.35\00:26:01.33
I went you to the
think of gravity meter
00:26:01.36\00:26:04.00
that's not a 1,000 miles
across but it is a billion,
00:26:04.03\00:26:09.05
billion miles
across and it's got a dime.
00:26:09.08\00:26:14.54
And it's calibrated in
centimeters, this much.
00:26:14.57\00:26:19.95
How many
centimeters have you got?
00:26:19.98\00:26:21.67
You got trillions,
trillions and trillions
00:26:21.70\00:26:24.55
and trillions and trillions
and trillions of centimeters.
00:26:24.58\00:26:28.09
Now listen to this.
Listen, can you believe this?
00:26:28.12\00:26:32.23
Now this is astronomy,
this is science, this is a fact.
00:26:32.26\00:26:38.00
Gravity is so fine tuned.
00:26:38.03\00:26:43.01
That if you were
to turn the dial,
00:26:43.04\00:26:45.57
one centimeter to
the left or to the right.
00:26:45.60\00:26:48.93
If gravity was off by one
trillionth of a trillionth
00:26:48.96\00:26:54.39
of trillionth of a quadrillionth
of a quadrillionth.
00:26:54.42\00:26:58.45
We would not be here tonight,
the universe would blow off.
00:26:58.48\00:27:06.13
Now these new discoveries
from NASA and other scientists
00:27:06.16\00:27:11.17
around the world have convinced
00:27:11.20\00:27:13.54
some of the world's greatest
atheists and agnostics to say,
00:27:13.57\00:27:18.79
I'm going to come
in out of the cold,
00:27:18.82\00:27:22.19
this could not
have happened by itself.
00:27:22.22\00:27:25.88
I am forced to believe
00:27:25.91\00:27:29.87
that there is a
great Creator God.
00:27:29.90\00:27:35.43
It is
overwhelming, it is incredible.
00:27:35.46\00:27:39.90
Now I'm going to
give you another one.
00:27:39.93\00:27:41.30
Now I'm not apologizing because
I'm giving you solid stuff.
00:27:41.33\00:27:44.66
If you come to these meetings
you are going to get the truth.
00:27:44.69\00:27:47.40
Jesus said, you
will know the truth
00:27:47.43\00:27:49.19
and the truth
will make you free.
00:27:49.22\00:27:51.37
You are not going to
get stuff which is trivial.
00:27:51.40\00:27:53.93
You are not just gonna
get a bunch of funny stories.
00:27:53.96\00:27:56.87
You are not gonna get a
lot of raw emotionalism.
00:27:56.90\00:27:59.51
You are going to get the truth.
00:27:59.54\00:28:01.35
And the truth is
going to bless you
00:28:01.38\00:28:03.81
and the truth is
going to set you free.
00:28:03.84\00:28:06.95
This one, we call the
mass density of the universe.
00:28:06.98\00:28:10.47
That's the total
density of the universe.
00:28:10.50\00:28:13.09
If the mass density of
the observable universe
00:28:13.12\00:28:17.25
was increased or decreased.
I don't understand this.
00:28:17.28\00:28:23.01
But if it were
increased or decreased
00:28:23.04\00:28:25.62
by one quadrillionth
of one quadrillionth
00:28:25.65\00:28:31.74
of one quadrillionth
of one quadrillionth,
00:28:31.77\00:28:36.20
life on the planet
would be impossible.
00:28:36.23\00:28:42.90
There is one chance
00:28:42.93\00:28:44.73
in one with 59 zeros.
00:28:44.76\00:28:52.40
Now we are gonna put
that up on the screen.
00:28:52.43\00:28:56.01
The chance of this
happening by itself,
00:28:56.04\00:29:00.10
look at it, and
you're going to come to me
00:29:00.13\00:29:03.92
after the lecture and
say, but no there is no God.
00:29:03.95\00:29:07.82
It all just happened by itself.
00:29:07.85\00:29:09.61
I want to say it
00:29:09.64\00:29:11.01
to the university
students here tonight.
00:29:11.04\00:29:12.48
I've got a reason for
you to believe in the God,
00:29:12.51\00:29:15.25
who believes in you.
I want you to know this.
00:29:15.28\00:29:19.27
And I'm going to tell the people
of PNG something else tonight.
00:29:19.30\00:29:25.25
I've lectured to
millions of people in Russia.
00:29:25.28\00:29:28.10
I saw what atheism did.
00:29:28.13\00:29:30.45
I saw how it
destroyed their souls.
00:29:30.48\00:29:33.32
When the atheists
were ruling Russia,
00:29:33.35\00:29:35.66
they put to death
50 million people,
00:29:35.69\00:29:40.62
50 million people.
00:29:40.65\00:29:44.49
I believe in God, not because
00:29:44.52\00:29:47.25
I've got to got
emotional feeling in my stomach.
00:29:47.28\00:29:51.27
I believe in God,
because of the amazing evidence
00:29:51.30\00:29:55.16
that God is giving us
today through the telescopes.
00:29:55.19\00:30:00.92
Paul the
Evangelist says in the Bible
00:30:00.95\00:30:03.55
that "God will finish His work
00:30:03.58\00:30:05.02
and cut it short
in righteousness."
00:30:05.05\00:30:07.47
The Prophet Joel says,
00:30:07.50\00:30:08.87
"God will pour out His
spirit in the last days,
00:30:08.90\00:30:11.46
and signs and
wonders will follow."
00:30:11.49\00:30:13.50
The Carter Report believes
00:30:13.53\00:30:14.90
that we are now in the end times
00:30:14.93\00:30:17.71
and His spirit
is moving mightily.
00:30:17.74\00:30:20.25
During the Port Moresby campaign
00:30:20.28\00:30:22.33
we testified that we saw
the power of God revealed.
00:30:22.36\00:30:26.21
God-hungry souls
00:30:26.24\00:30:28.78
could not get enough
of the word of the Lord,
00:30:28.81\00:30:31.74
as at creation the spirit of God
00:30:31.77\00:30:34.30
moved upon the
face of the waters
00:30:34.33\00:30:36.74
and God brought
cosmos out of chaos.
00:30:36.77\00:30:40.24
Souls were recreated in
the image of the Creator.
00:30:40.27\00:30:44.02
Instead of hate there was love.
00:30:44.05\00:30:46.15
Instead of
despair there was hope.
00:30:46.18\00:30:48.21
Instead of sorrow there was joy.
00:30:48.24\00:30:50.61
And in the place of
death, God gave life.
00:30:50.64\00:30:54.12
One night, as John
Carter preached on the person
00:30:54.15\00:30:56.87
and work of the Holy Spirit,
00:30:56.90\00:30:58.34
the image of a white bird
was flashed on the screens.
00:30:58.37\00:31:01.98
That moment a
great white bird flew low
00:31:02.01\00:31:05.17
over the
astonished congregation.
00:31:05.20\00:31:07.42
Cries of joy filled the
air as the audience recognized
00:31:07.45\00:31:10.88
that God had visited His people.
00:31:10.91\00:31:13.19
A mighty surge
of Pentecostal power
00:31:13.22\00:31:15.55
swept the
audience of 120,000 souls
00:31:15.58\00:31:19.31
and everyone
present felt the warm
00:31:19.34\00:31:21.91
comforting presence of God.
00:31:21.94\00:31:24.45
The Carter Report team

00:31:54.77\00:32:02.36
Listen to this.
00:32:02.39\00:32:03.76
I want you to
think of all the sand
00:32:03.79\00:32:07.74
on all the beaches
in beautiful PNG, okay.
00:32:07.77\00:32:13.62
Then I want you to
think of all the sand
00:32:13.65\00:32:15.64
on the Gold Coast in Australia.
00:32:15.67\00:32:18.50
Then I want you to think of
all the sand in every beach,
00:32:18.53\00:32:24.10
all around the world.
00:32:24.13\00:32:26.77
Then I want you to
think of all the sand
00:32:26.80\00:32:29.72
on all the different planets.
00:32:29.75\00:32:33.81
Billions and
billions of planets.
00:32:33.84\00:32:35.58
I want you to think of that.
00:32:35.61\00:32:37.98
And I want you to think
that one little piece of sand
00:32:38.01\00:32:43.25
is different to all the
other billions and billions
00:32:43.28\00:32:46.71
and billions and trillions
of other specks of sand.
00:32:46.74\00:32:50.45
And one of those
little bits of sand,
00:32:50.48\00:32:53.16
it's got a mark on it.
00:32:53.19\00:32:55.66
And I come to you, and I say,
00:32:55.69\00:32:57.95
I'm gonna blindfold you.
00:32:57.98\00:33:00.86
Now I want you to go out
and on the first attempt.
00:33:00.89\00:33:04.94
I want you to travel
all through the universe,
00:33:04.97\00:33:08.74
billions and trillions of
miles and I want you to find
00:33:08.77\00:33:12.37
that little piece of sand
with the black spot on it.
00:33:12.40\00:33:17.70
You say it's utterly impossible.
00:33:17.73\00:33:21.86
The chance of that happening
my friend is inconceivable.
00:33:21.89\00:33:26.43
That is that same chance
00:33:26.46\00:33:28.92
astronomers tell us of
the universe creating itself.
00:33:28.95\00:33:36.58
The universe is proof
00:33:36.61\00:33:41.04
that there is an
Almighty God, who made you.
00:33:41.07\00:33:45.94
I want you to
think of a Boeing 747,
00:33:45.97\00:33:50.92
one of the biggest
planes in the world.
00:33:50.95\00:33:54.18
I love the old Boeing 747.
00:33:54.21\00:33:56.52
I've flown so many
miles in those things.
00:33:56.55\00:34:00.19
I want you to think
there is a great factory.
00:34:00.22\00:34:05.06
And in that factory
you've got all the parts
00:34:05.09\00:34:08.58
that make up a
Boeing 747 jumbo jet,
00:34:08.61\00:34:13.74
I want you to think about this.
00:34:13.77\00:34:15.35
There are literally
hundreds of thousands
00:34:15.38\00:34:18.02
may be millions
of different parts.
00:34:18.05\00:34:22.15
And all of the sudden there
comes a tremendous tornado,
00:34:22.18\00:34:27.60
and it picks up all the
parts out of that storehouse
00:34:27.63\00:34:31.65
and it throws them
all up into the air
00:34:31.68\00:34:35.16
and they fly
around for a few years.
00:34:35.19\00:34:39.42
And then they come
down to planet earth,
00:34:39.45\00:34:42.58
all those different parts
00:34:42.61\00:34:44.46
and they assemble
themselves into a brand new 747.
00:34:44.49\00:34:52.06
You say, that's absurd,
00:34:52.09\00:34:55.85
it's just as absurd to believe
that the universe made itself.
00:34:55.88\00:35:02.53
It is absolutely impossible.
00:35:02.56\00:35:06.35
I want you to notice
some text in the Bible.
00:35:06.38\00:35:08.77
I'm going to
come Psalm 33:6 and 9.
00:35:08.80\00:35:14.06
Now these are taken
00:35:14.09\00:35:16.72
out of the old
Bible that we love.
00:35:16.75\00:35:18.97
This is a Bible
believing country.
00:35:19.00\00:35:22.50
Listen, "By the word of
the Lord were the heavens made,
00:35:22.53\00:35:27.97
their starry host by
the breath of this mouth.
00:35:28.00\00:35:32.97
For he spoke, and it came to be
00:35:33.00\00:35:36.10
he commanded,
and it stood firm."
00:35:36.13\00:35:41.59
We now know when the
universe came into existent.
00:35:41.62\00:35:46.77
Listen carefully,
we know it is a fact,
00:35:46.80\00:35:50.92
it is a certainty,
it has been measured.
00:35:50.95\00:35:54.37
The universe came into existence
00:35:54.40\00:35:57.53
billion years ago.
00:35:57.56\00:36:05.51
There was nothing there,
00:36:05.54\00:36:08.56
scientists tell us,
there was noting there.
00:36:08.59\00:36:11.61
And all of a sudden,
00:36:11.64\00:36:13.21
out of that infinite
speck of cosmic power
00:36:13.24\00:36:19.88
there came a tremendous universe
00:36:19.91\00:36:23.03
of billions and
billions of galaxies.
00:36:23.06\00:36:30.18
The Bible says,
the Almighty God spoke
00:36:30.21\00:36:34.86
and it was done He
commanded and it stood fast.
00:36:34.89\00:36:38.75
This Almighty God
is a powerful God,
00:36:38.78\00:36:43.08
He's powerful enough for you.
00:36:43.11\00:36:45.14
Now we are gonna
have another text,
00:36:45.17\00:36:46.54
here it is Hebrews 1:1-3.
00:36:46.57\00:36:48.99
"In the past God
spoke to our forefathers
00:36:49.02\00:36:52.11
through the
prophets at many times
00:36:52.14\00:36:54.29
and in various ways,
but in these last days
00:36:54.32\00:36:57.19
he has spoken to us by his Son,
00:36:57.22\00:37:00.28
whom he appointed
heir of all things,
00:37:00.31\00:37:02.41
and through whom
he made the universe."
00:37:02.44\00:37:08.02
The Bible tells me
00:37:08.05\00:37:09.42
that this vast universe
of incomprehensible glory
00:37:09.45\00:37:15.22
and power was made by God
through His son Jesus Christ.
00:37:15.25\00:37:22.16
That's what the Bible says.
00:37:22.19\00:37:24.49
I want to say to
you tonight my friend,
00:37:24.52\00:37:26.53
it is time for us to turn way
from the problems of this world.
00:37:26.56\00:37:30.24
It is time for us to
turn away from our depression.
00:37:30.27\00:37:33.10
It is time for us
tonight to forget our sorrows.
00:37:33.13\00:37:36.58
It is time for us to
look up into the face of God
00:37:36.61\00:37:40.97
and to believe in God.
00:37:41.00\00:37:44.27
And to have His
power and have His peace.
00:37:44.30\00:37:49.24
I want to tell
you folks something.
00:37:49.27\00:37:53.22
I say this because I love you.
00:37:53.25\00:37:56.03
Listen, listen carefully.
00:37:56.06\00:38:01.41
The happiest people
on the face of this earth
00:38:01.44\00:38:04.71
are the people who
worship the Creator
00:38:04.74\00:38:07.13
who made the universe.
00:38:07.16\00:38:09.91
The happiest
people are not the cynics
00:38:09.94\00:38:11.81
and the atheists
and the unbelievers.
00:38:11.84\00:38:14.64
The happiest
people are the people
00:38:14.67\00:38:17.51
who believed in Christ
and who believed in the Bible.
00:38:17.54\00:38:22.90
And I want you to know tonight
if you will take a step of faith
00:38:22.93\00:38:26.92
and step out of darkness
and believe in the creator God.
00:38:26.95\00:38:33.13
You are going to
be mightily blessed.
00:38:33.16\00:38:38.44
You hear what I am
saying... and let's go back.
00:38:38.47\00:38:42.33
How many stars
are in the universe?
00:38:42.36\00:38:45.93
Well, there are 200
billion stars in our galaxy.
00:38:45.96\00:38:50.40
Let's take that as an average.
00:38:50.43\00:38:53.36
There are 200
billion known galaxies,
00:38:53.39\00:38:57.74
so the total
stars in the universe
00:38:57.77\00:39:00.93
would be this figure.
00:39:00.96\00:39:02.74
And I'm going to go
over here to the blackboard
00:39:02.77\00:39:05.41
and I'm going to
have a little bit of fun.
00:39:05.44\00:39:09.50
I'm going to put
up a calculated guess
00:39:09.53\00:39:13.11
of the number of the stars
in the whole of the universe,
00:39:13.14\00:39:18.90
not just in our
galaxy, thank you very much.
00:39:18.93\00:39:23.47
Now I'm going to
put up this figure
00:39:23.50\00:39:25.96
and I'm going to get it right.
00:39:25.99\00:39:28.52
And then somebody can say
it, if they want to say it.
00:39:28.55\00:39:32.52
Here it is, the total
number of stars in the universe.
00:39:32.55\00:39:38.21
This is a calculated guess.
00:39:55.79\00:40:00.76
The total number
that's of the planet,
00:40:00.79\00:40:06.24
that of stars in the universe.
00:40:06.27\00:40:09.50
Now we're going
take this another step,
00:40:09.53\00:40:12.59
I want you to think and
I want you to concentrate.
00:40:12.62\00:40:16.06
You're listening.
00:40:16.09\00:40:18.39
"Suppose one star in
a million has a planet."
00:40:18.42\00:40:24.50
Let me say it again
00:40:24.53\00:40:25.90
"Suppose one star in
a million has a planet."
00:40:25.93\00:40:31.01
What we're gonna do
now is divide by a million.
00:40:31.04\00:40:35.71
Say, if one star in
a million has a planet,
00:40:35.74\00:40:43.59
this figure here would be
00:40:43.62\00:40:46.60
the number of
planets in the universe.
00:40:46.63\00:40:52.36
And did you know that
thousands of years ago
00:40:52.39\00:40:56.98
the Bible spoke about
life out in the galaxies,
00:40:57.01\00:41:01.99
life in another
worlds, did you know that.
00:41:02.02\00:41:06.16
The Bible talks
about life out there
00:41:06.19\00:41:09.27
He talks about
the Father's House.
00:41:09.30\00:41:11.76
Listen to me, I'm only
starting to get warmed up.
00:41:11.79\00:41:14.53
Now I am gonna
tell you some things.
00:41:14.56\00:41:16.33
I am gonna turn in
my Bible to Nehemiah 9:6
00:41:16.36\00:41:23.28
and we're gonna put
it up on the screen,
00:41:23.31\00:41:24.99
so every person here can see it
00:41:25.02\00:41:27.43
and you can
hear the word of God.
00:41:27.46\00:41:29.70
I want to say to the
people of Port Moresby
00:41:29.73\00:41:32.04
that Bible has got power in it.
00:41:32.07\00:41:34.98
If you take the
creator God into your life,
00:41:35.01\00:41:37.50
you've got to have a new power.
00:41:37.53\00:41:39.91
Once upon a time
I was an unbeliever.
00:41:39.94\00:41:42.82
I did not always believe in God,
00:41:42.85\00:41:46.01
but then through
my study of astronomy
00:41:46.04\00:41:48.53
and archeology
and Bible prophecy,
00:41:48.56\00:41:51.00
I came to believe in
God, so here is the text.
00:41:51.03\00:41:54.25
"You alone are the Lord."
There is only one God my friend.
00:41:54.28\00:41:58.35
There is only one God
all the idols that's nothing,
00:41:58.38\00:42:01.03
that's futile,
it's foolishness."
00:42:01.06\00:42:03.17
You alone are the Lord.
00:42:03.20\00:42:05.23
You made the heavens,
even the highest heavens,
00:42:05.26\00:42:08.26
and all their starry hosts,
the earth and all that is on it,
00:42:08.29\00:42:13.02
the seas and all that is
in them." Now listen to it.
00:42:13.05\00:42:17.43
"You give life to everything
00:42:17.46\00:42:19.44
and the multitudes
of heaven worship you."
00:42:19.47\00:42:24.87
The Bible talks
about a multitude
00:42:24.90\00:42:28.08
out there in the heavens.
00:42:28.11\00:42:30.74
Can you believe this?
00:42:30.77\00:42:33.66
I want you to see the stars,
00:42:33.69\00:42:35.36
I want you to
look at the galaxies
00:42:35.39\00:42:36.83
as they come on
the screen, here it is.
00:42:36.86\00:42:39.72
The Bible says out
there among the galaxies
00:42:39.75\00:42:44.11
there is a multitude
of intelligent beings
00:42:44.14\00:42:48.26
who worship God.
00:42:48.29\00:42:49.67
This planet is a
planet in rebellion
00:42:49.70\00:42:54.62
that turned away from God
00:42:54.65\00:42:57.04
and that's why we have
such a mess in the world today.
00:42:57.07\00:43:01.31
That's why we've got death,
that's why we've got crime,
00:43:01.34\00:43:06.22
that's why we've got poverty,
that's why we've got racism,
00:43:06.25\00:43:10.25
that's why we've got cancer.
00:43:10.28\00:43:11.99
And look at this my
friend, just look at this
00:43:12.02\00:43:14.44
an island universe going back
millions, even billions of years
00:43:14.47\00:43:21.15
made up of billions and
billions of blazing suns
00:43:21.18\00:43:26.36
and the Bible
says, the Bible says
00:43:26.39\00:43:29.19
"The host of heaven
worships God the Creator."
00:43:29.22\00:43:33.73
We are not alone.
00:43:33.76\00:43:36.29
Now I am going
to turn to Job 26:7.
00:43:36.32\00:43:41.97
then there is another
text in Job I think 38:47.
00:43:42.00\00:43:45.59
but firstly Job 26.
00:43:45.62\00:43:47.78
This book is
about 3,500 years old.
00:43:47.81\00:43:53.76
"He spreads out the
northern skies over empty space,
00:43:53.79\00:44:00.50
he suspends the
earth over nothing."
00:44:00.53\00:44:07.35
Bless your heart.
00:44:07.38\00:44:09.60
"Where were you when I
laid the earth's foundation?
00:44:09.63\00:44:14.11
Tell me, if you understand.
00:44:14.14\00:44:19.15
Who marked off its dimensions?
00:44:19.18\00:44:21.32
Surely you know!
00:44:21.35\00:44:23.34
Who stretched out a
measuring line across it?"
00:44:23.37\00:44:28.02
Or what were you doing?
00:44:28.05\00:44:31.91
"What were you
doing when it was made,
00:44:31.94\00:44:33.70
when it's set in place,
or who laid its cornerstone.
00:44:33.73\00:44:38.47
While the morning stars
sang together and all the angels
00:44:38.50\00:44:43.39
all the sons of
God shouted for joy."
00:44:43.42\00:44:47.54
The Bible talks-- I am
gonna show you pictures.
00:44:47.57\00:44:52.04
It talks, this is
thousands of years ago.
00:44:52.07\00:44:56.91
The Bible talked
about a 'round world'
00:44:56.94\00:44:59.96
and it talked about a
round world, hanging in space.
00:44:59.99\00:45:06.90
We hold this on the screen.
00:45:06.93\00:45:09.19
We're gonna show you picture
00:45:09.22\00:45:11.23
taken years ago,
oh, what a picture.
00:45:11.26\00:45:16.28
The Bible says, He
hangs the earth upon nothing.
00:45:16.31\00:45:22.78
Once upon a time people
thought the earth was flat.
00:45:22.81\00:45:26.31
The Bible talks
about a round world.
00:45:26.34\00:45:29.47
And it talks
about this 'round world'
00:45:29.50\00:45:33.34
hanging out there in space.
00:45:33.37\00:45:37.02
It talks about our
universe that had a beginning.
00:45:37.05\00:45:41.03
Even Professor
Einstein for many years
00:45:41.06\00:45:43.45
believed the
universe had no beginning.
00:45:43.48\00:45:46.18
Then they
discovered their reality
00:45:46.21\00:45:48.28
and the truth of the big bang,
it's just the scientific term,
00:45:48.31\00:45:53.53
you don't need
to even use the word
00:45:53.56\00:45:55.85
but as the terms that means
00:45:55.88\00:45:57.84
when God brought
things out of nothing
00:45:57.87\00:46:01.59
and He made a universe,
it is a scientific fact.
00:46:01.62\00:46:07.43
The Bible asks the
rhetorical question,
00:46:07.46\00:46:10.55
if you think you're
smart where were you?
00:46:10.58\00:46:13.54
Where were you, when God
made the heavens and the earth?
00:46:13.57\00:46:16.68
Where were you when
God made the universe?
00:46:16.71\00:46:19.59
Who are you to
argue to the Creator God?
00:46:19.62\00:46:23.40
What an amazing concept,
00:46:23.43\00:46:25.33
we're talking
about here tonight.
00:46:25.36\00:46:28.33
Now listen my friend,
00:46:28.36\00:46:29.73
I am gonna come over now to
the Book of Revelation 12:12.
00:46:29.76\00:46:34.93
that indicates
00:46:34.96\00:46:38.10
that we are not
alone in the universe.
00:46:38.13\00:46:41.53
"Therefore
rejoice, you heavens."
00:46:41.56\00:46:44.80
Can you read it?
00:46:44.83\00:46:46.88
Rejoice, you
heavens," what does it say.
00:46:46.91\00:46:49.80
"And you who dwell in them!
00:46:49.83\00:46:52.86
But woe to the
earth and the sea."
00:46:52.89\00:46:54.85
It goes on talks
about the devil coming down.
00:46:54.88\00:46:57.26
But the Bible talks, it
makes it very, very plain.
00:46:57.29\00:47:01.08
It says rejoice you heavens.
00:47:01.11\00:47:03.97
It's talking about the galaxies
and it says "Rejoice you heavens
00:47:04.00\00:47:09.10
and you who dwell in them!"
00:47:09.13\00:47:14.30
Listen I am not
speculating here tonight"
00:47:14.33\00:47:19.92
The universe had a beginning.
00:47:19.95\00:47:23.15
In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:47:23.18\00:47:27.57
Scientists said for many years,
00:47:27.60\00:47:29.28
"No it's absurd, the
universe has always been here."
00:47:29.31\00:47:32.69
Pagan religion still say,
00:47:32.72\00:47:34.46
the universe has
always been here.
00:47:34.49\00:47:36.99
No the Bible said, a beginning.
00:47:37.02\00:47:40.39
We now know that we are
in an expanding universe.
00:47:40.42\00:47:45.55
Everything is moving out
because it had a beginning.
00:47:45.58\00:47:52.05
And the Bible says,
look at this amazing pictures
00:47:52.08\00:47:56.31
from NASA of the
galaxies, the island universes.
00:47:56.34\00:48:01.36
The Bible tells
us that out there
00:48:01.39\00:48:04.77
somewhere there
are inhabited planets.
00:48:04.80\00:48:09.81
Jesus said, I am gonna
go to my Father's House
00:48:09.84\00:48:13.19
and where Jesus went--
00:48:13.22\00:48:17.95
there was a world
of intelligent beings
00:48:17.98\00:48:22.41
and the Bible says one day
00:48:22.44\00:48:24.81
this earth is going to
have a space age invasion.
00:48:24.84\00:48:30.40
It already has had an invasion,
from beings from other worlds.
00:48:30.43\00:48:35.45
Matthew 28:1-4, you
know, I am reading my Bible
00:48:35.48\00:48:40.66
because I believe
the Bible is correct.
00:48:40.69\00:48:44.26
I am reading my Bible
00:48:44.29\00:48:45.73
because I
believe it is proved true
00:48:45.76\00:48:49.04
by astronomy and
archeology and Bible prophecy.
00:48:49.07\00:48:52.83
Well, bless your
heart, tomorrow night
00:48:52.86\00:48:55.03
I am gonna talk about
the next world dictator.
00:48:55.06\00:48:58.03
The coming world ruler,
00:48:58.06\00:49:00.02
I am gonna talk
about the Great middleman
00:49:00.05\00:49:03.26
and the Great Stone of Destiny.
00:49:03.29\00:49:05.37
We're gonna have it on
the screen, look at this.
00:49:05.40\00:49:09.21
"After the Sabbath, at dawn
on the first day of the week,
00:49:09.24\00:49:12.75
Mary Magdalene
and the other Mary
00:49:12.78\00:49:14.63
went to look at the tomb."
00:49:14.66\00:49:17.03
There was a violent earthquake,
00:49:17.06\00:49:18.74
for an angel of the
Lord came down from heaven
00:49:18.77\00:49:22.63
and, going to the
tomb, rolled back the stone
00:49:22.66\00:49:27.36
and sat on it."
He was in charge.
00:49:27.39\00:49:30.36
"His appearance
was like lightning,
00:49:30.39\00:49:32.70
and his clothes
were white as snow."
00:49:32.73\00:49:35.92
Listen to me.
00:49:35.95\00:49:39.08
We're not alone.
00:49:39.11\00:49:41.95
I am gonna talk in a few nights
on the world of the occult.
00:49:41.98\00:49:48.53
I am going to
talk about the spirits,
00:49:48.56\00:49:51.54
but I want you to know
00:49:51.57\00:49:54.11
that the Bible
talks about beings,
00:49:54.14\00:49:57.25
we call them angels
00:49:57.28\00:49:59.99
which is the
Greek word "angelos"
00:50:00.02\00:50:03.47
that means messenger.
00:50:03.50\00:50:08.04
When Jesus was raised
from the dead and He was.
00:50:08.07\00:50:12.48
A mighty messenger
came from another world
00:50:12.51\00:50:16.66
and he was dressed in glory
00:50:16.69\00:50:19.80
and he had just
glory all over him,
00:50:19.83\00:50:23.51
he was shining like the sun
00:50:23.54\00:50:26.49
and he went and he
just rolled back the stone
00:50:26.52\00:50:30.87
and he sat on the stone.
00:50:30.90\00:50:32.74
He was the visitor from
another world, my friend.
00:50:36.70\00:50:42.14
We're not alone.
00:50:42.17\00:50:45.52
And the Bible teaches one day
00:50:45.55\00:50:47.59
that this earth is
going to be invaded,
00:50:47.62\00:50:50.47
somebody says 'I
can't believe it'
00:50:50.50\00:50:52.03
well, you better
start to believe it,
00:50:52.06\00:50:53.95
because may be you gonna see it.
00:50:53.98\00:50:56.25
Come over I am gonna turn
in my Bible to Matthew 25:31
00:50:56.28\00:51:00.98
and what a
gorgeous night it is here
00:51:01.01\00:51:03.88
in Port Moresby with
this beautiful breeze,
00:51:03.91\00:51:06.75
with this fantastic
and wonderful audience.
00:51:06.78\00:51:09.66
Matthew 25:31 look at this text.
00:51:09.69\00:51:13.74
Now my friend, hear the word
of the Lord, He's got power.
00:51:13.77\00:51:17.37
This is the word
not of John Carter,
00:51:17.40\00:51:19.49
this is the word of the
Creator of the universe,
00:51:19.52\00:51:23.04
don't mess with Him.
00:51:23.07\00:51:25.51
He knows all
about you, He loves you
00:51:25.54\00:51:28.41
and He wants to come
into your life and bless you.
00:51:28.44\00:51:32.35
"When the Son of
Man comes in his glory
00:51:32.38\00:51:37.30
and all the angels with him,
00:51:37.33\00:51:39.94
he will sit on his
throne in heavenly glory"
00:51:39.97\00:51:43.77
that's a prophecy.
00:51:43.80\00:51:46.13
It was given to
us by Jesus Christ.
00:51:46.16\00:51:48.40
He said that He is going
to come back to this planet.
00:51:48.43\00:51:52.77
And when He comes
back to this planet,
00:51:52.80\00:51:55.56
are you listening to me.
00:51:55.59\00:51:56.96
When He comes
back to this planet,
00:51:56.99\00:51:59.12
He's going to come back
with all of these visitors.
00:51:59.15\00:52:03.85
All of these messengers,
all of these mighty beings
00:52:03.88\00:52:08.88
and this world is
going to be invaded.
00:52:08.91\00:52:13.80
To say it's a bit hard
to believe, no it's not.
00:52:17.23\00:52:22.23
Great God who made the
stars and do few things
00:52:22.26\00:52:25.70
that you and I can't
understand my friend.
00:52:25.73\00:52:30.11
Another great
prophecies John 14:1-3.
00:52:30.14\00:52:35.60
And I am going
to read it to you.
00:52:35.63\00:52:37.37
You can read it off the screens.
00:52:37.40\00:52:38.82
That's why we have
these giant screens.
00:52:38.85\00:52:41.35
Jesus said "Do not let
your hearts be troubled."
00:52:41.38\00:52:44.00
Jesus said don't worry.
00:52:44.03\00:52:46.89
You know, why we worry?
00:52:46.92\00:52:48.96
Do you know why you worry?
00:52:48.99\00:52:50.40
It's because you
don't trust in Him.
00:52:50.43\00:52:53.49
When I worry it's because
I am not trusting in Him.
00:52:53.52\00:52:56.99
I am trusting in
people, I am trusting in myself.
00:52:57.02\00:53:00.89
Jesus said "Do not let
your hearts be troubled.
00:53:00.92\00:53:04.33
Trust in God, trust also in me.
00:53:04.36\00:53:09.17
In my Father's house
are many rooms." Wow.
00:53:09.20\00:53:14.93
I believe there are
universes beside our universe.
00:53:14.96\00:53:18.64
Come back to the text
00:53:18.67\00:53:20.52
"In my Father's
house are many rooms,
00:53:20.55\00:53:23.45
if it were not so, I
would have told you."
00:53:23.48\00:53:26.48
He's got house
up there in glory.
00:53:26.51\00:53:29.37
"I am going there to
prepare a place for you.
00:53:29.40\00:53:31.66
And if I go and
prepare a place for you,
00:53:31.69\00:53:34.46
I will come back
00:53:34.49\00:53:37.67
and take you to be with me,
00:53:37.70\00:53:39.86
that you also
may be where I am."
00:53:39.89\00:53:43.00
You know, the way to
the place where I am going,
00:53:43.03\00:53:46.68
Jesus, the Son of God,
00:53:46.71\00:53:50.51
He was the
Creator of the universe.
00:53:50.54\00:53:52.80
Jesus is not
like any other person.
00:53:52.83\00:53:57.62
You say, oh yes,
He was a great man,
00:53:57.65\00:53:59.48
He was a great guy.
00:53:59.51\00:54:00.88
No, He was not just a great man,
00:54:00.91\00:54:02.89
He was not just a great
guy, He was the Son of God.
00:54:02.92\00:54:07.98
He was the
Creator of the universe.
00:54:08.01\00:54:10.86
Look at the
picture on the screen.
00:54:10.89\00:54:13.86
He holds the stars in His hands
00:54:13.89\00:54:17.52
if He holds the
stars in His hands,
00:54:17.55\00:54:20.44
I ask you can't He hold you.
00:54:20.47\00:54:24.49
Can't He help you?
00:54:24.52\00:54:26.32
Don't you think the Lord
who made the stars can help you?
00:54:26.35\00:54:30.78
Don't you know that
He wants to help you?
00:54:30.81\00:54:33.66
Why are so many
people today shutting Him out
00:54:33.69\00:54:37.21
and making their lives a mess?
00:54:37.24\00:54:43.10
He said, I am gonna come
back to my Father's house.
00:54:43.13\00:54:47.50
You know, I
could talk about this
00:54:47.53\00:54:49.52
I don't have time now.
00:54:49.55\00:54:52.49
But here is our say,
here is our universe,
00:54:52.52\00:54:58.28
150 billion light years across.
00:54:58.31\00:55:05.47
God was outside our
universe the Father's house
00:55:05.50\00:55:11.58
and He made
this and He made lots
00:55:11.61\00:55:16.98
and lots and lots of
other planets and galaxies.
00:55:17.01\00:55:22.74
And He said, I am
going to come back.
00:55:22.77\00:55:27.84
I want you to know the
Bible is full of prophecies.
00:55:31.42\00:55:33.97
Tomorrow night I am gonna deal
00:55:34.00\00:55:35.80
with one of the
greatest of all prophecies.
00:55:35.83\00:55:39.67
I am, I am gonna talk about
things that will astound you,
00:55:39.70\00:55:43.75
amaze you, fascinate you,
thrill you, encourage you,
00:55:43.78\00:55:48.72
lift you up,
make you feel better.
00:55:48.75\00:55:52.45
The Great Prophet
Daniel written 2,500 years ago
00:55:52.48\00:55:57.06
in the City of Babylon.
00:55:57.09\00:55:59.34
He had a dream
about a great metal man,
00:55:59.37\00:56:02.37
head of gold, chest of sliver,
belly and thighs of bronze,
00:56:02.40\00:56:08.45
legs part of iron, part of clay.
00:56:08.48\00:56:12.66
He told the history
of the world from Babylon
00:56:12.69\00:56:15.81
right down to our own day
00:56:15.84\00:56:18.84
and when you get
down to our own day
00:56:18.87\00:56:21.31
down to the feet and the toes
and we are living there tonight,
00:56:21.34\00:56:26.83
there came a stone...
00:56:26.86\00:56:32.06
and it struck the image.
00:56:32.09\00:56:35.19
Listen, the next we're
gonna put around on the screens
00:56:35.22\00:56:38.97
so that you can see the glory.
00:56:39.00\00:56:41.07
The next great event in
the history of the planet
00:56:41.10\00:56:46.81
will be the coming
of the stone of destiny
00:56:46.84\00:56:52.02
and the setting up
of the kingdom of God.
00:56:52.05\00:56:58.31
Christ with the angels
00:56:58.34\00:57:01.32
coming in power
and coming in glory.
00:57:01.35\00:57:08.58
