01:05 Hi, and you're in now with The Forerunner Chronicles.
01:09 All right, everybody, I want to welcome you 01:11 to part 2 of the special Forerunner Chronicles series, 01:15 the new age agenda. 01:18 The Bible tells us in the Book of Revelation 12:17, 01:23 "And the dragon was worth with the woman, 01:26 and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, 01:29 which keep the commandments of God, 01:31 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." 01:35 Now we learn that in the Book of Revelation 01:37 there are many codes and symbols. 01:40 We are told this in the Book of Revelation 1:1, 01:44 which tells us, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, 01:47 which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants 01:51 the things that must shortly come to pass and he sent 01:55 and signified it by his angel to give unto his servant John." 02:00 That word signified in the original Greek 02:03 from which the Book of Revelation 02:05 was translated means that the Book of Revelation 02:08 was placed into codes and symbols, 02:11 so that dragon and that woman in Revelation 12:17 02:16 are symbolic of other things. 02:19 But what are they symbolic of? 02:21 The Bible always gives us the answers. 02:23 In the Book of Revelation 12:9 we are told 02:27 in reference to the dragon and the great dragon, 02:30 that old serpent called the devil in Satan 02:33 which deceiveth the whole world, 02:35 he was cast out into the earth 02:37 and his angels were cast out with him. 02:40 So the dragon primarily is a symbol of the devil. 02:45 Now let's deal with this woman. What is this symbolic of? 02:48 Well, the Bible gives us an answer 02:50 in the Book of Jeremiah 6:2 we are told there, 02:54 "I have likened the daughter of Zion 02:57 unto a comely and delicate woman." 03:00 So the daughter of Zion is a comely and delicate woman. 03:05 Now in the book of Isaiah 51:16, 03:09 the Bible goes on to tell us at the very end of that scripture 03:14 "and say unto Zion, Thou art my people." 03:18 So Zion is the people of God 03:21 and God has likened the daughter of Zion 03:24 or his people unto a comely and delicate woman. 03:29 So a woman in Bible prophecy can be 03:31 a symbol of God's people, God's church. 03:35 So in Revelation 12:17 what we're seeing here 03:39 is the devil moving with great anger 03:42 and warfare against God's people, His church, why? 03:46 Because they keep the Commandments of God 03:48 and they have within their possession 03:51 the testimony of Jesus Christ. 03:54 And one of the methods by which the devil 03:56 is carrying out this insidious warfare 03:59 against the people of God in these last days 04:02 is found within the Book of 1 Timothy 4:1. 04:07 The Bible tells us, "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, 04:11 that in the latter times" and this simply means 04:14 that the spirit of God is being very outspoken, 04:18 that in these last days "some shall depart from the faith, 04:23 giving heed or paying attention to seducing spirits, 04:28 and doctrine of devils." 04:30 It is by that means of these Satanic agencies 04:33 putting their deception out into the world 04:36 that many people will depart from the faith. 04:39 Meaning that they will give up their belief in the Word of God 04:43 and consequently their relationship with Jesus Christ. 04:47 And this whole attack is not just isolated 04:51 to the people of God, 04:52 neither is it isolated to one particular country. 04:55 The Bible tells us 04:57 in the Book of Revelation 16:13, 05:01 "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 05:05 coming out the mouth of the dragon, 05:06 and out the mouth of the beast, 05:08 and out the mouth of the false prophet. 05:11 For they are the spirits of devils working miracles, 05:15 which go forth unto the kings of the earth 05:18 and of the whole world, to gather them 05:22 to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." 05:27 Notice that they are attacking the kings of the earth as well. 05:31 This is men that have political power, 05:33 men that have financial power, 05:36 men that have control over the media, 05:38 men that have influence over the masses 05:41 so they can use their influence to redirect the masses 05:45 that we will pay homage to the devil 05:48 and not give our service to the true and living God. 05:52 The devil wants us to unite with him 05:55 in fighting against God in the battle of Armageddon. 06:00 But let's take some time to analyze something 06:02 that we didn't analyze 06:04 in part 1 of this series and that is 06:07 these unclean spirits that are like frogs. 06:10 Why do you think that the Bible uses frogs 06:14 to identify these unclean spirits? 06:17 Why not snakes, why not cockroaches? 06:20 None of us like those, 06:22 why do you think the Bible uses frogs? 06:26 Well, one thing we can do is look out into nature 06:29 and see some very peculiar characteristics about frogs. 06:33 Number one, frogs use their tongues to catch their prey. 06:39 Notice that these frogs are coming out of the mouth 06:42 of these three different entities. 06:44 The dragon, the beast and the false prophet. 06:47 This means that by means of their false teachings 06:51 they will ensnare their prey which happens to be you and I. 06:56 But by the grace of God we will never fall to these deceptions. 07:00 But they want to trap us 07:02 with their fear, deceptive speech. 07:04 Number two, have you ever heard a frog croaking before 07:09 and you went to try and locate it 07:11 and then you quickly realized 07:13 that you couldn't tell exactly from which direction 07:16 the croaking of the frog was coming from. 07:19 This let you know that the frogs croaking 07:21 or its speech is very elusive. 07:24 You think it's coming from one direction 07:26 but it's really coming from the other. 07:28 In other words, 07:29 they may come out speaking in good words, 07:32 they may come out with their humanitarian purposes, 07:35 it may seem like peaceful agenda, 07:37 it may seem like good things, 07:39 but the underlying purpose which we cannot perceive 07:43 is actually to bring about our destruction 07:45 by making us fall to Satan's deception. 07:49 That is two reasons why frogs are used here 07:52 in Revelation 16:13. 07:55 But now let's see what the Bible has to say 07:57 about frogs in the Book of Exodus chapter 8. 08:01 In Exodus chapter 8, we are given 08:03 a portion of the historical account 08:06 in which Moses and his brother Aaron 08:08 journey within the borders of the land of Egypt 08:11 to carry out their mission, which God gave unto them. 08:15 This mission was to go before pharaoh 08:18 and to commend him to let God's people go 08:21 so that they could worship the true and living God 08:24 according to the way that he commanded 08:27 that they should worship him. 08:29 And to let pharaoh know that he was serious 08:31 about his commandment being carried out, 08:33 God worked many miracles which were plagues, 08:36 by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 08:39 One of these plagues is found within the Book of Exodus 8:6. 08:46 We're told there and Aaron stretched out his hand 08:49 over the waters of Egypt 08:51 and frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt. 08:56 Then in verse 7, we are told 08:58 and the magicians did so also with their enchantments 09:02 and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. 09:06 Now let's take one second 09:08 to quickly analyze what took place here. 09:11 By the power of God, Aaron had the ability 09:15 to bring forth frogs upon the land of Egypt. 09:18 This was to plague pharaoh and all of the inhabitants of Egypt 09:22 so that they would know 09:24 it's time to obey God's commandment. 09:26 However, pharaoh's magicians 09:29 which were the high priests of the Egyptian occult mysteries, 09:33 a belief system, a religion, in which men communicated 09:38 with demonic spirits and came under the deception 09:42 that they had the power to be like God. 09:45 These men by the means of these demonic agencies 09:49 had the ability to also bring forth frogs 09:53 upon the land of Egypt. 09:55 And the primary reason that they worked out 09:58 this black magic was to strengthen pharaoh 10:01 and all of the inhabitants of Egypt 10:04 in their rejection of God, 10:06 in their persecution of God's people, 10:09 and in their rebellion against God's commandment. 10:13 And for all of you out there that are familiar 10:16 with this biblical account, 10:18 you know that the frogs were the very last plague 10:23 that the magicians were able to counterfeit. 10:27 This is the main reason why frogs are used as a symbol 10:32 of the three unclean spirits in Revelation 16:13. 10:37 What we are looking at here in Revelation 16:13 10:41 is Satan's last great deception 10:44 to strengthen the world in their rejection of God, 10:48 in their fighting against God's people, 10:51 and in their rebellion against God's commandments. 10:55 Satan is gathering people for the battle of Armageddon. 10:59 In other words, Satan is trying to initiate people 11:03 into his ranks so that they will fight with him 11:06 against the King of kings and the Lord of lords. 11:09 And you shouldn't be shocked at anything 11:12 that I'm sharing with you here, 11:13 because the Bible clearly tells us 11:15 in the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:15 11:20 "That which hath been is now and that which is to be 11:25 hath already been and God requireth that which is past." 11:30 In other words, the things that happened in the past, 11:34 they are now taking place in our present day society. 11:38 And those things that will transpire in the future 11:42 have already taken place in the past. 11:45 Therefore, God requires of all of us 11:49 to have an accurate knowledge of historical account, 11:52 especially those historical accounts 11:55 that have impacted his people 11:57 so that we can better understand 11:59 the things that are happening in our present day society 12:03 and so that we can make some accurate projections 12:06 about those things that will happen in the near future. 12:10 And the same way that Satan used occult practices 12:14 and spiritualism to strengthen men in rejecting God 12:19 and rebelling against God's commandments 12:21 and in fighting against God's people in times past 12:25 like we saw in ancient Egypt. 12:27 He is using these same things in our present day society. 12:32 And as you are going to find out in a moment, 12:35 the New Age Movement is behind these activities. 12:40 We are living in the midst of a supernatural warfare 12:44 and through the medium of the New Age Movement, 12:47 Satan with his cunning sophistry has reengineered 12:51 the occult worship practices of ancient times 12:55 and brought them into our modern day society. 12:59 One of the main agents of this New Age Movement 13:02 was a woman by the name of Alice A. Bailey. 13:06 Alice A. Bailey was the founder 13:09 of the occult organization known as Lucis Trust. 13:13 The original name of this organization 13:16 was Lucifer's Publishing Company. 13:19 The headquarters of this spiritualist organization 13:23 is found within the United Nations 13:26 where it operates as a non-governmental organization. 13:31 In the volumes of Alice Bailey's 13:33 writings on the occult, she spoke much of the nations 13:37 of our world developing a new world order 13:40 and the importance of an organization 13:43 known as the Freemasons 13:45 for the success of this endeavor. 13:51 In one of Alice A. Bailey's letters concerning her thoughts 13:54 on freemasonry, she wrote, "The Masonic Movement... 13:58 will meet the need of those who can, 14:00 and should wield power. 14:03 It is the custodian of the law, 14:05 it is the home of the Mysteries and the seat of Initiation. 14:11 It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, 14:15 and the way of salvation 14:17 is pictorially preserved in its works. 14:20 The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples 14:23 and under the All-seeing Eye the work can go forward. 14:28 It is a far more occult organization 14:32 then can be realized and is intended 14:35 to be the training school 14:37 for the coming advanced occultists." 14:42 Benjamin Creme, a man that is noted 14:44 as the John the Baptist of the New Age Movement, 14:48 in his book "The Reappearance of the Christ" 14:50 and "The Masters of Wisdom" 14:52 had these statements to make about freemasonry. 14:56 "Through the Masonic tradition and certain esoteric groups 15:00 will come the process of initiation. 15:03 In this coming age, millions of people 15:06 will take the first and second initiation 15:09 through these transformed and purified institutions." 15:14 "The New Religions will manifest, for instance, 15:17 through organizations like Freemasonry. 15:20 In Freemasonry is embedded the core of the secret heart 15:24 of the occult mysteries, 15:25 wrapped up in number, metaphor and symbol. 15:30 When these are purified, 15:32 these will be seen to be a true occult heritage. 15:36 Through the Orders of Masonry, the Initiatory Path 15:40 will be trodden and Initiation will be taken." 15:49 Now there's a few points that I want to highlight for you 15:52 from those statements that were made 15:53 by Alice A. Bailey and Benjamin Creme 15:56 so that you pay particular attention to this information. 16:00 Point number one, Alice A. Bailey states 16:02 that Freemasonry is a far more occult organization, 16:06 they can be realized. 16:08 Point number two, she also stated that Freemasonry 16:11 is the custodian of the occult mysteries, which simply means, 16:16 they are the guardians of that Satanic belief system. 16:20 Point number three, she stated that the symbols 16:23 which are protected by the Freemasons, 16:26 they have embedded within them the ritual of deity. 16:30 This means that those symbols that you find 16:34 within Freemasonry, they all have connected to them 16:38 the Satanic belief system 16:40 that man has the ability to be like God. 16:45 This is the very same deception which the devil promoted 16:49 at the first in the Garden of Eden in the 16:51 Book of Genesis Chapter 3. 16:54 And then point number four, 16:57 Benjamin Creme stated that millions of people, 17:00 millions of us will be initiated into the occult 17:04 when they can purify and transform 17:07 their occult symbols, numbers and metaphors. 17:13 Now if I was you, ladies and gentlemen, 17:15 I would be asking how do they propose to purify 17:20 and transform these occult symbols, 17:23 numbers and metaphors 17:25 because it is by this means that they are seeking 17:28 to initiate millions of people in our day into the occult. 17:33 This means they are trying to make millions of us 17:36 knowledgeable of the way that they think, 17:38 they are trying to indoctrinate us 17:41 into their belief system, 17:43 and they propose to do this by purifying 17:46 and transforming their symbols, metaphors and numbers. 17:51 And according to their writings, 17:53 this whole process of purifying and transforming 17:56 these symbols, numbers and metaphors 17:59 is done through what they call externalization. 18:03 What externalization simply is, 18:05 is to take an idea that is abstract, 18:08 a concept that is hard to be understood 18:11 and to break it down, make it simple, 18:14 and also make it attractive so that people will not only 18:18 understand it but they'll desire to have it 18:22 and that's what they're doing to us right now. 18:25 It's like a mother feeding her child vegetables, 18:29 they're mixing their belief system with something sweet 18:32 and they're making it slide right down our throats 18:35 and we are asking for more of it. 18:38 And by what means do you think 18:41 that they are externalizing this belief system, 18:45 this Satanic belief system to the world? 18:48 Well, in Alice A. Bailey's writings, 18:51 she developed ten stratagem by which 18:54 the nations of our world could establish a new world order 18:58 in which Lucifer would be acknowledged as sovereign. 19:02 Two of those strategies were... 19:08 strategy number 8, 19:10 "Use mass media to influence mass opinion. 19:14 Create mass opinion that is receptive to these values 19:18 by using television, film, the press et cetera." 19:27 Strategy number 9, "Debase arts in all its forms. 19:32 Corrupt music, painting, poetry, 19:35 and every expression of the heart. 19:38 Make it obscene, immoral, and occultic. 19:42 Debase the arts in every way possible." 19:45 Ladies and gentlemen, 19:47 they are using mass media to shape mass opinion. 19:52 They are using media, music, movies, video games, art, 19:59 everything that they can get their hands on, 20:02 the fashion industry, as a vehicle 20:05 to promote to us their Satanic belief system 20:09 and we're not even realizing what they're doing 20:12 because they've broken it down, they simplified it, 20:15 and they've made attractive to us. 20:18 And if you're still not understanding 20:20 how this whole concept, abusing the media 20:23 for this purpose works, here's an example. 20:26 As you sit down in the comfort of your own home 20:29 watching the television and a program comes on 20:32 in which one of these occult symbols can be found, 20:34 subliminally, the human mind will record this symbol 20:37 in the subconscious and associate it with 20:40 whatever message was being conveyed 20:41 by the program at that time. 20:43 In this case, the message is money is security. 20:46 Then turning the channel on your television, 20:48 another program comes up with this same occult symbol 20:51 but this time the message being conveyed is disobey God. 20:54 This message as well will be associated in your mind 20:58 with that same symbol and then changing the channel 21:01 once again you view another program 21:03 in which the same occult symbol can be found 21:05 but this time the message being conveyed is have sex. 21:09 This message as well will be subliminally associated to 21:12 or connected with that symbol in your mind. 21:16 So consequently whenever you see that occult symbol, 21:21 your subconscious will influence your conscious mind 21:25 to think, have sex, disobey God, money is security, 21:30 because the symbol that has been anchored in your mind 21:34 now acts as a trigger 21:37 to activate the subliminal messages 21:39 that your mind has associated it with. 21:44 And this massive assault against humanity 21:47 to invade our conscious thought patterns via our subconscious 21:51 for the purpose of molding our characters is a design 21:55 that is being carried out by men 21:58 but it has been orchestrated 22:00 and it is being supervised by Satan himself, 22:03 for Satan is simply conveying his thoughts 22:07 and his desires to the minds of his agents 22:11 which in turn use their power, their money 22:15 and their influence to push the devil's agenda 22:19 and all of this is for the purpose of leading 22:22 millions of men and women young and old 22:26 to either directly or indirectly pay homage to 22:31 or give worship to the devil. 22:38 My friend, I hope that your eyes are beginning to open 22:42 and that you are perceiving what is going on right now. 22:46 We are under the attack of this most subtle 22:49 and seductive method of indoctrinating us 22:52 with the doctrines of devil's, 22:54 and this whole conditioning process 22:57 is for the purpose of accomplishing the design 23:00 that is spoken out in the Book of Revelation 16:14 23:04 "And that is to gather us to the battle 23:07 of that great day of God Almighty." 23:10 In other words, Satan is trying to initiate us 23:13 into the ranks of his army so that we will be prepared 23:17 in heart and mind to fight against God 23:21 in the battle of Armageddon and the most disturbing thing 23:25 about this whole scenario is that the devil 23:29 has stolen this method of educating from Jesus himself. 23:35 Now you might be sitting on the edge of your seat 23:37 and saying what in the world is this man talking about? 23:42 Well, I'll tell you exactly what I'm talking about. 23:45 You see, when Jesus Christ walked upon 23:48 the face of this earth, He spoke many parables, 23:51 one of these parables were the sower and the seed. 23:55 The sower was a symbol of the person 23:58 that spread the Word of God, 24:00 the same way that a sower spread seed, 24:03 and the seed obviously was a symbol of 24:06 the Word of God or the gospel of the Kingdom. 24:10 Why do you think Jesus would use a sower 24:12 and a seed as symbols to present 24:15 these most important principles of salvation? 24:19 The reason why Jesus used these symbols 24:21 was because they were common sights for those people 24:25 that He was educating and He knew 24:28 that they would see these things frequently, 24:31 it was His desire that as they saw sower sowing seed 24:35 over and over and over again, 24:38 they would remember the principles of righteousness 24:41 that He taught them and that one day 24:44 these principles would transform their lives 24:47 as they will recall to their minds 24:49 over and over and over again. 24:53 And so Satan has taken this method 24:56 that Jesus used to teach principles of righteousness 25:00 and He is using this method now 25:02 to teach us the doctrines of devil's. 25:06 Has it ever once puzzled you 25:08 as to why all of a sudden these very curious symbols 25:12 have become popular in our secular society? 25:16 Like skulls and crossbones and eyes with impairments, 25:20 you can find them on business logos, on coffee mugs, 25:24 on t-shirts, on baseball caps, on children's clothing, 25:28 on undergarments, they are everywhere. 25:32 In our video games, in our favorite sitcoms, 25:35 in cartoons, they are everywhere, 25:39 and that is why now more than ever 25:42 we must separate ourselves from the things of this world. 25:47 We must give up our worldly entertainment, 25:50 we must give up our worldly fashions, 25:54 we must give up our worldly music, 25:57 and give ourselves wholly to the service of God, 26:02 for the Bible says, "All that is in the world, 26:05 the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, 26:08 and the pride of life, they are not of the Father, 26:11 they are of the world." 26:14 1 John 2:16 and that is why the Bible councils us 26:19 in the Book of 2 Corinthians 6:17,18 26:24 "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, 26:27 and touch not the unclean thing sayeth the Lord God. 26:30 And I will receive you unto myself. 26:32 And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be 26:36 my sons and daughters, sayeth the Lord of hosts." 26:39 If we want to be children of God, 26:41 if we want God to be our Father, 26:43 we must separate ourselves from these worldly things 26:48 which the devil is trying to use to contaminate us. 26:52 The Bible tells us, in the Book of 1 John 3:2 26:59 "Beloved now are we the sons of God 27:03 and it does not yet appear what we shall be but we know this 27:08 when He shall appear we shall be like Him 27:12 for we shall see Him as He is 27:15 and every man that has this hope in himself, 27:18 purify himself even as He is pure." 27:22 We are living in a age in which 27:24 we need to purify our minds, our thoughts, and our desires 27:29 and the devil is trying to contaminate them 27:31 but if we separate ourselves from the things of this world 27:35 we can become pure so that we can meet Jesus face to face. 27:39 For as the devil is purifying and transforming 27:43 his demonic system of worship to be understandable 27:47 and to be acceptable by humanity, 27:49 we need to purify our minds 27:52 so that we can be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. 27:56 The Bible tells us in the Book of Romans 12:1 28:02 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, 28:04 by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies 28:07 a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto God, 28:12 which is your reasonable service. 28:14 And be ye not conformed unto this world, 28:17 but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, 28:22 that ye might prove what is that good, 28:24 and acceptable, and perfect will of God." 28:28 God is looking for you to give yourself wholly 28:32 and completely to His service so that He can use your life 28:38 to magnify His beautiful and amazing character in this world 28:43 and the only way we can do this 28:45 is if we are not conformed to the principles 28:49 of the devil of this world. 28:52 I want to encourage you, 28:55 it is time to give up the worldly music, 28:59 the worldly videos, the worldly video games, 29:02 the worldly dressing, 29:03 it is time to separate yourselves 29:06 from the things of this world 29:08 and to unite yourself to Jesus Christ. 29:11 He loves you so much 29:13 that He wouldn't want to spend eternity without you. 29:17 This is The Forerunner and as always 29:20 whether you like it or not, the truth is the truth. |
