Hi, and you're now with
The Forerunner Chronicles.
00:00:45.31\00:00:49.14
Alright everybody,
let's get right to it.
00:00:49.18\00:00:51.95
In the book of 2 Peter 1:12, the
Bible says, Wherefore I will not
00:00:51.98\00:00:59.05
be negligent to put you always
in remembrance of these things,
00:00:59.09\00:01:02.92
though ye know
them, and be established
00:01:02.96\00:01:07.03
in the present truth.
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.10
Now what apostle
Peter is telling us here,
00:01:09.13\00:01:12.33
under the inspiration of the
Spirit of God, is that there's
00:01:12.37\00:01:15.24
some information that God's
people are knowledgeable of.
00:01:15.27\00:01:17.97
You know they
already know it all already.
00:01:18.01\00:01:20.21
However, although they
already know this information,
00:01:20.24\00:01:23.45
although they're already very
familiar with this information,
00:01:23.48\00:01:26.58
it is absolutely imperative,
it is of the utmost importance
00:01:26.61\00:01:31.25
that this very same information
that they know is continuously
00:01:31.29\00:01:35.72
taught to them over,
and over, and over again.
00:01:35.76\00:01:39.63
Because this is the only
means by which they will be
00:01:39.66\00:01:43.43
established in
the present truth.
00:01:43.47\00:01:46.94
My question to all of you today
is this, What is present truth?
00:01:46.97\00:01:52.74
I can just imagine some of you
are at home right now scratching
00:01:52.77\00:01:56.75
your heads, saying all
types of interesting comments
00:01:56.78\00:02:00.78
to the screen right now.
00:02:00.82\00:02:02.28
Just hold on a minute.
00:02:02.32\00:02:03.72
Before we answer this
question, What is present truth?
00:02:03.75\00:02:07.06
I want us to take some time to
go through the Bible to see what
00:02:07.09\00:02:11.56
the word of God
defines as truth.
00:02:11.59\00:02:14.20
Because if we can come to a
clear understanding as to what
00:02:14.23\00:02:18.50
the Bible defines as truth, then
we will know with a certainty
00:02:18.53\00:02:22.77
what present truth is for us.
00:02:22.80\00:02:25.04
Are you ready?
Well, let's begin.
00:02:25.07\00:02:27.24
In the book of Deuteronomy 32:4,
the Bible says, He is the Rock,
00:02:27.28\00:02:33.98
his works are perfect:
for all his ways are judgment:
00:02:34.02\00:02:38.52
a God of truth and without
iniquity, just and right is he.
00:02:38.55\00:02:44.43
So 1. God is truth.
00:02:44.46\00:02:47.30
Then in the book of Psalm
119: 142, the Bible tells us:
00:02:47.36\00:02:53.84
Thy righteousness is an
everlasting righteousness,
00:02:53.87\00:02:57.24
and thy law is the truth.
00:02:57.27\00:03:00.38
So Psalm
119:142, the law is truth.
00:03:00.41\00:03:05.11
Then dropping down in that same
chapter, Psalm 119, all the way
00:03:05.15\00:03:10.49
down to verse 151, the Bible
goes on to say: Thou art near,
00:03:10.52\00:03:15.36
O Lord, and all thy
commandments are truth.
00:03:15.39\00:03:19.66
So the commandments are truth
in Psalm 119:151, the law of God
00:03:19.69\00:03:24.50
is truth in Psalm 119:142.
00:03:24.53\00:03:27.34
I'm just trying to help
you to remember the Scriptures.
00:03:27.37\00:03:30.17
Then in the book of John
14:6, the Bible goes on to say,
00:03:30.21\00:03:35.54
and Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, and the truth,
00:03:35.58\00:03:40.48
and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
00:03:40.52\00:03:45.39
So Jesus as well,
of course, is truth.
00:03:45.42\00:03:48.99
Then in John 16:13 the
Bible says, Howbeit when he,
00:03:49.02\00:03:54.40
the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth:
00:03:54.46\00:03:59.47
for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall
00:03:59.50\00:04:02.94
hear, that shall he speak: and
he will show you things to come.
00:04:02.97\00:04:07.74
The Spirit of God
as well, according
00:04:07.78\00:04:10.18
to the Bible, is truth.
00:04:10.21\00:04:12.35
And then, in the book
of John 17:17, we are told:
00:04:12.38\00:04:19.22
Sanctify them through
thy truth: thy word is truth.
00:04:19.25\00:04:25.16
So let's summarize all of
the information now that we have
00:04:25.19\00:04:28.33
learned from the Holy Bible:
God is truth, the law is truth,
00:04:28.36\00:04:33.03
The commandments are truth,
Jesus is truth, The Spirit of
00:04:33.17\00:04:37.14
God, the Holy Spirit, is truth.
00:04:37.17\00:04:38.94
And the word of God, from
which we have gained all of this
00:04:38.97\00:04:42.71
information, is
definitely truth.
00:04:42.74\00:04:46.05
All of these together
comprise absolute truth.
00:04:46.08\00:04:50.35
Nothing can be added,
nothing can be subtracted.
00:04:50.39\00:04:53.82
This is truth in
its totality. Wow!
00:04:53.86\00:04:58.29
But the question still
stands, What is present truth?
00:04:58.33\00:05:03.30
We've found out what truth is
now, but what is present truth?
00:05:03.33\00:05:08.67
This is extremely important.
00:05:08.70\00:05:10.47
And as we go now to the book of
Revelation 14, we are going to
00:05:10.51\00:05:15.71
find some information
that will break this whole
00:05:15.74\00:05:18.61
thing open for us.
00:05:18.65\00:05:19.98
Are you ready? Well, let's go.
00:05:20.02\00:05:21.95
In the book of Revelation
14:1, the Bible tells us,
00:05:21.98\00:05:27.69
And I looked, and, lo, a
Lamb stood on the mount Zion,
00:05:27.72\00:05:32.53
and with him an hundred
forty and four thousand,
00:05:32.56\00:05:35.76
having his Father's name
written in their foreheads.
00:05:35.80\00:05:40.10
Now we see in Revelation 14:1
that there is a Lamb standing
00:05:40.14\00:05:45.27
on the mount Zion.
00:05:45.31\00:05:46.64
And we know that we're looking
at the book of Revelation.
00:05:46.68\00:05:49.41
The book of Revelation is
filled with codes and symbols.
00:05:49.44\00:05:53.62
So this Lamb must be a
symbol of something or someone.
00:05:53.65\00:05:58.25
Now what is this
Lamb a symbol of?
00:05:58.29\00:06:01.06
Well, the Bible gives us
the answer in the book of John,
00:06:01.09\00:06:04.36
John 1:29. We are told there:
The next day John seeth Jesus
00:06:04.39\00:06:12.50
coming unto him, and
saith, Behold the Lamb of God,
00:06:12.53\00:06:17.04
which taketh away
the sin of the world.
00:06:17.07\00:06:20.81
In the Bible, the Lamb
is a symbol of Jesus Christ,
00:06:20.84\00:06:24.75
as the atoning sacrifice
for the sins of all of humanity.
00:06:24.78\00:06:29.52
Jesus died that we
might be made at one
00:06:29.55\00:06:32.92
with the Father again.
00:06:32.95\00:06:34.36
So when we look in Revelation
14:1, and we see this Lamb
00:06:34.39\00:06:39.29
standing on the mount
Zion, what we're looking at is
00:06:39.33\00:06:42.23
a symbol of Jesus Christ as
the atoning sacrifice for the
00:06:42.26\00:06:46.43
sins of you and I.
00:06:46.47\00:06:48.70
But this is very interesting,
because we learned earlier
00:06:48.74\00:06:52.64
in that same book of the Bible,
the book of John, in chapter 14,
00:06:52.67\00:06:56.44
and verse 6, that Jesus
Christ is as well the truth.
00:06:56.48\00:07:00.92
Remember that Jesus
said, I am the way, the truth,
00:07:00.95\00:07:04.39
and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
00:07:04.42\00:07:07.89
But the Lamb is as
well a symbol of Jesus.
00:07:07.92\00:07:11.63
If the Lamb is a symbol of
Jesus, and Jesus is the truth,
00:07:11.66\00:07:15.90
then the Lamb
must also be truth.
00:07:15.93\00:07:18.87
Because Jesus
and the Lamb are One,
00:07:18.90\00:07:21.54
and Jesus and the
truth are One as well.
00:07:21.57\00:07:24.67
They are all interchangeable.
00:07:24.71\00:07:27.14
Hum, very interesting.
00:07:27.18\00:07:28.91
So when we go back to
the book of Revelation 14:1,
00:07:28.94\00:07:33.92
and we see this Lamb, we
know that this Lamb is a symbol
00:07:33.95\00:07:37.85
of Jesus, but we know
that this Lamb is also
00:07:37.89\00:07:41.02
a symbol of the truth.
00:07:41.06\00:07:42.59
And what I'm about to show you
is that as we follow this Lamb,
00:07:42.62\00:07:47.13
we will find out
what present truth is.
00:07:47.20\00:07:50.60
In the book of Revelation
14:2, the Bible tells us:
00:07:50.63\00:07:56.60
Pay close attention to
what information is found
00:08:22.53\00:08:26.13
within Revelation 14:4 now.
00:08:26.17\00:08:29.40
Hold on a second! These
are they that follow the Lamb
00:08:40.92\00:08:45.39
withersoever he goeth?
00:08:45.42\00:08:47.46
But that Lamb is Jesus!
00:08:47.49\00:08:49.76
So these are they which follow
Jesus withersoever he goeth.
00:08:49.79\00:08:55.06
But that Lamb that is
Jesus is also the truth,
00:08:55.10\00:08:59.67
so these are they
that follow the truth,
00:08:59.70\00:09:03.54
withersoever the truth goeth.
00:09:03.57\00:09:07.08
That means wherever the Lamb
presently is, wherever Jesus
00:09:07.11\00:09:12.41
presently is, is where
the truth presently is,
00:09:12.45\00:09:15.72
and that is present truth.
00:09:15.75\00:09:19.29
So my question to you
is this, Where is Jesus,
00:09:19.32\00:09:24.29
who is the truth, presently?
00:09:24.33\00:09:26.83
Well, we can find the
answer to this question
00:09:26.86\00:09:29.56
in the book of
Romans, Romans 8:34.
00:09:29.60\00:09:33.94
The Bible tells us there:
00:09:33.97\00:09:35.70
So Jesus Christ is presently,
or the truth is presently,
00:09:47.02\00:09:51.55
at the right hand of God,
making intercession for us.
00:09:51.59\00:09:55.62
The Bible gives us more
information on this in the book
00:09:55.66\00:09:59.13
of Hebrews, Hebrews 8:1.
00:09:59.16\00:10:02.63
The Bible goes on to say there,
Now of the things which we have
00:10:02.66\00:10:06.94
spoken this is the sum:
We have such a high priest,
00:10:06.97\00:10:11.07
who is set on the right hand
of the throne of the Majesty
00:10:11.11\00:10:14.98
in the heavens; a minister of
the sanctuary, and of the true
00:10:15.01\00:10:19.28
tabernacle, which the
Lord pitched, and not man.
00:10:19.31\00:10:22.95
So presently Jesus Christ, who
is the truth, is at the right
00:10:22.98\00:10:27.82
hand of the throne of
God, the Majesty in heaven.
00:10:27.86\00:10:31.19
He is officiating as
the high priest of humanity,
00:10:31.23\00:10:34.50
and He is
interceding for all of humanity.
00:10:34.56\00:10:37.80
But this is very interesting,
because if Jesus Christ is our
00:10:37.83\00:10:42.27
high priest, and He is
interceding, that must mean
00:10:42.30\00:10:46.51
that there is a
case pending at the bar
00:10:46.54\00:10:49.48
of God's judgment hall.
00:10:49.51\00:10:51.21
Because only one that has a case
that is pending in the court
00:10:51.25\00:10:56.02
system needs an intercessor.
00:10:56.05\00:10:58.65
Is this what the Bible teaches?
00:10:58.69\00:11:00.62
It teaches exactly this:
in the book of Daniel 7:9,
00:11:00.66\00:11:07.60
we are told there: I beheld
till the thrones were cast down,
00:11:07.66\00:11:13.03
or the thrones
were set up in place,
00:11:13.07\00:11:15.60
and the Ancient of days did sit,
whose garment was white as snow,
00:11:15.64\00:11:20.54
and the hair of his
head like the pure wool:
00:11:20.58\00:11:23.58
his throne was
like the fiery flame,
00:11:23.61\00:11:26.38
and his wheels as burning fire.
00:11:26.41\00:11:28.85
A fiery stream issued and
came forth from before him:
00:11:28.88\00:11:32.59
thousand thousands
ministered unto him,
00:11:32.62\00:11:35.59
and ten thousand times
ten thousand stood before him:
00:11:35.62\00:11:39.46
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have just discovered
00:11:44.63\00:11:47.67
what the present truth is.
00:11:47.70\00:11:50.21
Presently, according to the book
of Hebrews 8:1 Jesus Christ,
00:11:50.24\00:11:56.41
who is the truth, is standing
at the right hand of the throne
00:11:56.44\00:12:01.08
of God in the heavenly
sanctuary within the precincts
00:12:01.12\00:12:04.95
of the most holy place; a place
in which there is an immense
00:12:04.99\00:12:09.06
amount of activity according
to the book of Daniel 7:10.
00:12:09.09\00:12:14.30
Ten thousand times ten thousands
of angels are going and coming
00:12:14.30\00:12:18.77
at the bidding
of God the Father.
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.87
Because they are fully immersed
in this work of judgment,
00:12:20.90\00:12:24.97
which God Himself has initiated.
00:12:25.01\00:12:27.54
And in this work of judgment
God is looking through the books
00:12:27.58\00:12:31.71
and He is reviewing the
characters of every human being
00:12:31.75\00:12:35.82
that has ever lived
since the beginning of the
00:12:35.85\00:12:39.42
existence of Planet Earth.
00:12:39.45\00:12:41.09
And when our names come
up in this work of judgment,
00:12:41.12\00:12:45.79
there will be nothing
that is hid from the all seeing
00:12:45.83\00:12:49.93
eye of God Almighty.
00:12:49.96\00:12:51.67
For the Bible tells us in
the book of Ecclesiastics 12:14,
00:12:51.70\00:12:57.44
For God shall bring
every work into judgment,
00:12:57.47\00:13:01.11
with every secret
thing, whether it be good,
00:13:01.14\00:13:04.78
or whether it be evil.
00:13:04.81\00:13:07.08
But, Praise God, that He is not
willing that any of us should
00:13:07.12\00:13:11.72
perish, but that all of
us should come to repentance,
00:13:11.75\00:13:14.69
according to 2 Peter 3:9.
00:13:14.72\00:13:17.69
This is why He provided
the Lamb of God to take away
00:13:17.73\00:13:21.63
the sin of the world.
00:13:21.66\00:13:23.03
Because in this work of judgment
God is weighing our characters
00:13:23.06\00:13:27.57
against His holy law,
against His holy commandments,
00:13:27.60\00:13:31.54
because they are
the standard of truth.
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.81
And the Bible says in
the book of 1 John 3:4,
00:13:34.84\00:13:39.01
Whosoever committeth sin
transgresseth also the law:
00:13:39.05\00:13:42.58
for sin is the
transgression of the law.
00:13:42.62\00:13:45.52
If we are found disobeying any
one of God's ten commandments,
00:13:45.55\00:13:49.96
we are found in
sin, and we will be found
00:13:49.99\00:13:53.06
wanting in the judgment.
00:13:53.09\00:13:54.46
But the Lamb of God, Jesus
Christ, gave His life to take
00:13:54.50\00:13:58.93
away our sins, and that
is why God has appointed Him,
00:13:58.97\00:14:02.80
established Him to be our high
priest in this work of judgment.
00:14:02.84\00:14:07.48
He is standing there interceding
on all of our behalf's.
00:14:07.51\00:14:12.48
He is trying to make sure that
all of us will take hold of the
00:14:12.51\00:14:16.58
power of the Spirit of Truth
so that by the instrumentality
00:14:16.62\00:14:20.46
of this, the third person of
the Godhead, working within our
00:14:20.49\00:14:24.59
hearts, we will be cleansed and
sanctified by the word of truth.
00:14:24.63\00:14:29.03
So when God looks upon our
characters, He will see the
00:14:29.06\00:14:32.97
reflection of Jesus Christ.
00:14:33.00\00:14:35.00
Because no man cometh unto
the Father but by Jesus Christ,
00:14:35.04\00:14:40.41
who is the way, the
truth, and the life.
00:14:40.44\00:14:44.08
But oh how quickly is
the time of mercy fleeing
00:14:44.11\00:14:49.52
from the presence of humanity.
00:14:49.55\00:14:51.45
For as the seconds of the clock
are collapsing into eternity,
00:14:51.49\00:14:56.36
so also is the work of judgment
moving forward with rapidity
00:14:56.39\00:15:01.40
in the courts of
God's holy temple.
00:15:01.43\00:15:04.33
And when God comes upon the
last name, and He reviews the
00:15:04.37\00:15:09.00
last character, then the
books of judgment shall be shut.
00:15:09.04\00:15:15.41
And mercy will never again plead
for the soul of the lost sinner.
00:15:15.44\00:15:21.88
It's over! And the Bible tells
us that at this time a very
00:15:21.92\00:15:27.66
magnificent scene will
take place within heaven.
00:15:27.69\00:15:31.36
In the book of Revelation 15:1
we are told: And I saw another
00:15:31.39\00:15:38.30
sign in heaven,
great and marvelous,
00:15:38.33\00:15:41.34
seven angels having
the seven last plagues;
00:15:41.37\00:15:44.64
for in them is
filled up the wrath of God.
00:15:44.67\00:15:48.78
Then in Revelation 16:1
the Bible goes on to say:
00:15:48.81\00:15:54.28
And I heard a great voice out of
the temple saying to the seven
00:15:54.32\00:15:59.55
angels, Go your ways, and
pour out the vials of the wrath
00:15:59.59\00:16:04.89
of God upon the earth.
00:16:04.93\00:16:07.23
The time is now approaching
when the decree will be given
00:16:07.23\00:16:11.37
to the seven angels to go their
ways, and wing their flight
00:16:11.40\00:16:15.67
towards Planet
Earth to carry out their
00:16:15.70\00:16:18.27
mission of destruction.
00:16:18.31\00:16:19.87
And I can just imagine there are
people that are thinking that
00:16:19.91\00:16:24.75
when they see destruction
coming upon Planet Earth,
00:16:24.78\00:16:27.65
when they see calamity
being poured out upon humanity,
00:16:27.68\00:16:32.09
and men are literally
chewing their own tongues,
00:16:32.12\00:16:36.49
because of the pain, and
the anguish that they are
00:16:36.52\00:16:40.26
experiencing, as a result of
the tormenting nature of these
00:16:40.30\00:16:44.57
plagues, then they'll fall
on their knees, then they'll cry
00:16:44.60\00:16:48.44
out to Jesus and
ask Jesus to save them.
00:16:48.47\00:16:51.31
Because isn't that the reason
why Jesus died on the cross?
00:16:51.34\00:16:54.58
to save us and have mercy on us?
00:16:54.61\00:16:57.45
My friend, I hope that
you are not allowing the Devil
00:16:57.48\00:17:02.65
to deceive you into believing,
or thinking this type of lie.
00:17:02.68\00:17:06.69
Because the Bible is very
clear that something is going
00:17:06.72\00:17:11.26
to happen in the temple at
the time when the seven angels
00:17:11.29\00:17:15.43
are pouring out the plagues.
00:17:15.46\00:17:17.17
We are told what this is in
the book of Revelation 15:8.
00:17:17.20\00:17:24.17
The Bible tells us there, And
the temple was filled with smoke
00:17:24.21\00:17:29.81
from the glory of
God, and from his power;
00:17:29.84\00:17:33.18
and no man was able
to enter into the temple,
00:17:33.21\00:17:38.55
till the seven plagues of
the seven angels were fulfilled.
00:17:38.59\00:17:43.76
This poses a huge dilemma
for the person that says,
00:17:43.79\00:17:49.03
I want to serve God.
00:17:49.06\00:17:50.60
And I'll serve God with all
of my heart, and all my soul,
00:17:50.63\00:17:53.80
and all my strength,
but I'll serve Him tomorrow.
00:17:53.84\00:17:56.77
Because today
I've got other things
00:17:56.81\00:17:59.51
I want to do with my life.
00:17:59.54\00:18:00.94
This poses a huge dilemma
for the young person that says,
00:18:00.98\00:18:06.01
God, I have my
whole life in front of me.
00:18:06.05\00:18:08.75
I haven't been able to
experience anything yet.
00:18:08.78\00:18:11.72
Lord, I'll serve you, but after
I get my car, and buy my house,
00:18:11.75\00:18:15.69
and get married, and
get my college degree,
00:18:15.72\00:18:18.49
and get my bank account.
00:18:18.53\00:18:19.93
Then I'll serve you, God.
00:18:19.96\00:18:21.76
But just give me more time.
00:18:21.80\00:18:23.57
Oh my young friend, I hope
you're not thinking like this.
00:18:23.60\00:18:28.94
Because the Bible says that when
the temple is filled with smoke,
00:18:28.97\00:18:33.84
no man will be able
to enter into the temple.
00:18:33.88\00:18:38.68
And the Bible tells us in
the book of 1 Timothy 2:5,
00:18:38.71\00:18:46.25
For there is one God, and one
mediator between God and men,
00:18:46.29\00:18:53.90
the man Christ Jesus.
00:18:53.93\00:18:57.80
You see, Jesus Christ is not
only standing at the right hand
00:18:57.87\00:19:03.81
of the throne of God
presently as our high priest,
00:19:03.84\00:19:07.64
you see, Jesus Christ is not
only presently standing at the
00:19:07.68\00:19:12.68
right hand of the throne of God,
in the most holy place of the
00:19:12.75\00:19:17.72
heavenly
sanctuary as our mediator,
00:19:17.75\00:19:20.66
and as our intercessor.
00:19:20.69\00:19:22.69
Jesus Christ is standing at the
right hand of the throne of God,
00:19:22.72\00:19:29.06
located in the temple
that is located in heaven
00:19:29.10\00:19:33.30
as the representative
of humanity as well.
00:19:33.34\00:19:37.41
And when the temple of God is
filled with smoke, Jesus Christ,
00:19:37.44\00:19:43.85
as the representative of
humanity, will remove Himself
00:19:43.88\00:19:49.28
from the right hand
of the throne of God.
00:19:49.32\00:19:51.82
He will step out of the holy
temple, and He will remove the
00:19:51.85\00:19:56.49
robes of the high priestly
garments, and He will remove
00:19:56.52\00:20:00.76
Himself from the work of
mediating, and interceding
00:20:00.80\00:20:04.97
for the sins of humanity.
00:20:05.00\00:20:06.84
And instead of this work,
and instead of those garments,
00:20:06.87\00:20:10.97
He will place upon
Himself the robes of vengeance,
00:20:11.01\00:20:14.28
and He will take upon Himself
now the work of judgment.
00:20:14.31\00:20:18.98
And then the proclamation of
00:20:19.01\00:20:25.29
will come to pass.
00:20:25.32\00:20:26.72
He that is unjust,
let him be unjust still:
00:20:26.76\00:20:30.26
and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still:
00:20:30.29\00:20:33.46
and he that is righteous,
let him be righteous still:
00:20:33.50\00:20:36.60
and he that is holy,
let him be holy still.
00:20:36.63\00:20:40.34
And behold, I come quickly;
and my reward is with me,
00:20:40.37\00:20:44.91
to give to every man
according as his work shall be.
00:20:44.94\00:20:49.18
It is at this point that all
of humanity are divided into two
00:20:49.21\00:20:54.15
groups: the
filthy, and the holy.
00:20:54.18\00:20:56.72
And these two groups
are developed as a result
00:20:56.75\00:21:00.12
of a choice, a choice that will
be made by every thinking person
00:21:00.16\00:21:04.89
that is alive at that time.
00:21:04.93\00:21:07.00
And the choice will be about
worship, for the Bible shows us
00:21:07.03\00:21:11.87
that the final controversy that
will ensue upon Planet Earth
00:21:11.90\00:21:16.64
just prior to the
second coming of Jesus Christ,
00:21:16.67\00:21:20.54
will be all about worship,
and the pouring out of the seven
00:21:20.58\00:21:25.65
last plagues, which is the
pouring out of the wrath of God.
00:21:25.68\00:21:29.65
This is taking place as a
manifestation of God's great
00:21:29.68\00:21:34.39
displeasure with a false
system of worship that will be
00:21:34.42\00:21:38.96
legislated and promoted
by the nations of our world.
00:21:38.99\00:21:43.50
And this false system of worship
will be accepted by billions
00:21:43.53\00:21:48.97
of men and women. The
Bible tells us in the Book of
00:21:49.00\00:21:53.64
Revelation 14:9, And the
third angel followed saying,
00:21:53.68\00:21:59.65
with a loud voice, If any man
worship the beast and his image,
00:21:59.68\00:22:03.99
and receive his mark in
his forehead, or in his hand,
00:22:04.02\00:22:07.82
the same shall drink of
the wine of the wrath of God,
00:22:07.86\00:22:12.03
which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.16
indignation: and he shall
be tormented with fire and
00:22:15.20\00:22:19.23
brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels,
00:22:19.27\00:22:22.17
and in the presence of the Lamb.
00:22:22.20\00:22:24.27
Those poor souls which
will surrender their minds
00:22:24.31\00:22:28.44
to receiving this false
worship system of the beast,
00:22:28.48\00:22:32.48
that will be legislated
and enforced by the civil
00:22:32.51\00:22:36.45
governments of our world.
00:22:36.48\00:22:38.22
Those poor souls that will
choose to hold on with all of
00:22:38.25\00:22:42.72
their might to their
houses and their lands,
00:22:42.76\00:22:45.73
their cars and their jobs, their
money and their bank accounts,
00:22:45.76\00:22:49.90
and their food in
their refrigerators,
00:22:49.93\00:22:52.40
these will be the
individuals that receive
00:22:52.43\00:22:54.74
the seven last
plagues: the wrath of God.
00:22:54.77\00:22:58.57
And the most solemn thing about
this whole situation is that
00:22:58.61\00:23:03.14
they will be tormented in the
presence of the very same holy
00:23:03.18\00:23:07.62
angels that flew at the speed
of light from heaven to earth,
00:23:07.68\00:23:12.09
back and forth, every
day seeking to encourage them
00:23:12.12\00:23:16.66
to grab hold of
the gift of salvation.
00:23:16.69\00:23:19.36
And even more solemn than
that, they will be tormented
00:23:19.39\00:23:23.93
in the presence of the
very Lamb of God that was slain
00:23:23.97\00:23:28.50
to take away their sins.
00:23:28.54\00:23:30.27
But they refused His
invitation. Have mercy!
00:23:30.31\00:23:35.44
But there is yet another
group of individuals that are
00:23:35.48\00:23:39.58
in existence, a group
of individuals that refuse
00:23:39.61\00:23:42.98
to receive the false
worship system of the beast.
00:23:43.02\00:23:46.32
These individuals reject any
institution of worship that is
00:23:46.39\00:23:51.36
established upon the authority
of man, and not established
00:23:51.39\00:23:56.33
upon the authority of God's
holy word, the word of truth.
00:23:56.40\00:24:01.34
And because they stand firm upon
the word of God, and will not be
00:24:01.40\00:24:06.68
moved from God's commandments,
they do not receive the wrath
00:24:06.71\00:24:11.41
of God, for they are
hidden within the love and care
00:24:11.45\00:24:15.58
of Jesus Christ
from all harm and danger.
00:24:15.65\00:24:19.35
They have received the worship
of the true and living God;
00:24:19.39\00:24:24.03
a worship that is spoken
of in the book of Revelation.
00:24:24.06\00:24:28.63
The Bible tells us there: And
I saw another angel fly in the
00:24:32.37\00:24:37.07
midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach
00:24:37.11\00:24:41.51
unto them that dwell on
the earth, and to every nation,
00:24:41.54\00:24:45.65
and kindred, and tongue,
and people, saying with a loud
00:24:45.68\00:24:49.75
voice, Fear God, and give glory
to him; for the hour of his
00:24:49.78\00:24:54.89
judgment is come: and
worship him that made heaven,
00:24:54.92\00:24:59.43
and the earth, and the sea,
and the fountains of waters.
00:24:59.46\00:25:04.33
These individuals cannot be
swayed by bribes nor threats,
00:25:04.37\00:25:09.20
for they have made an unwavering
decision to lovingly reverence
00:25:09.24\00:25:14.01
and fear God; for they knew that
the Bible said in the book of
00:25:14.04\00:25:18.31
The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of wisdom.
00:25:20.85\00:25:24.32
These individuals
will not allow their minds,
00:25:24.35\00:25:27.92
and their
characters to be molded by the
00:25:27.96\00:25:30.56
minds of other men.
00:25:30.59\00:25:32.13
Because they know that
it is important for them to
00:25:32.16\00:25:35.13
give glory to God; for to
give glory to God is to reveal
00:25:35.16\00:25:39.07
the character of God.
00:25:39.10\00:25:40.47
And this is the reason for which
every human being was created.
00:25:40.50\00:25:44.81
The Bible tells us
this in Isaiah 43:7.
00:25:44.84\00:25:49.21
We are told there: even every
one that is called by my name:
00:25:49.24\00:25:54.35
for I have created him for
my glory, I have formed him;
00:25:54.38\00:25:58.72
yea, I have made him.
00:25:58.75\00:26:01.26
And because these
individuals choose to fear God,
00:26:01.29\00:26:05.33
and give glory to God, and
God alone, they are prepared
00:26:05.36\00:26:09.86
to stand in the hour
of judgment, which is now.
00:26:09.90\00:26:13.54
For it is now that Jesus Christ
is standing at the right hand
00:26:13.57\00:26:17.77
of the throne of God.
00:26:17.81\00:26:19.14
It is now that the Father
has the books open reviewing the
00:26:19.17\00:26:23.35
characters of humanity.
00:26:23.38\00:26:24.71
It is now that all of heaven
is in activity, seeking to draw
00:26:24.75\00:26:29.35
humanity to the throne of
God, that we might obtain mercy,
00:26:29.38\00:26:33.46
and grace to help in
this, our time of need.
00:26:33.49\00:26:36.89
And they realize that the
present truth was to surrender
00:26:36.93\00:26:40.86
their hearts to Jesus Christ
so that His nail pierced hands
00:26:40.90\00:26:44.73
could reach into their hearts,
and cleanse them from every
00:26:44.77\00:26:49.07
hereditary and cultivated sin
that would keep them from being
00:26:49.10\00:26:53.38
found hidden in
the love of the Savior.
00:26:53.44\00:26:56.68
They stood in the judgment
hour because they worshipped
00:26:56.71\00:27:00.95
the ever living God who made the
heavens, and the earth, the sea,
00:27:00.98\00:27:06.55
and the fountains of waters.
00:27:06.59\00:27:08.22
And according to the book of
Exodus 20 starting at verse 8,
00:27:08.26\00:27:13.13
this God is the
Lord of the Sabbath day.
00:27:13.19\00:27:17.23
For we are told in Exodus 20:11:
00:27:17.27\00:27:21.14
In these last days, God will
have a people that in the face
00:27:35.82\00:27:41.62
of peril, hunger, and
death, will stand firm for God,
00:27:41.66\00:27:47.23
and love Him with all of their
heart, with all of their soul,
00:27:47.30\00:27:51.67
with all of their
strength; for they will keep all
00:27:51.70\00:27:55.70
of His commandments.
00:27:55.74\00:27:57.07
For the Bible tells us in 1
John 5:3, For this is the love
00:27:57.11\00:28:03.24
of God, that we
keep his commandments:
00:28:03.28\00:28:06.05
and his
commandments are not grievous.
00:28:06.08\00:28:08.75
And this is why John the
Revelator, under the inspiration
00:28:08.78\00:28:13.66
of the Spirit of God, makes this
final proclamation over this
00:28:13.69\00:28:18.49
special group in
Revelation 14:12.
00:28:18.53\00:28:23.37
We are told there: Here is
the patience of the saints:
00:28:23.40\00:28:27.60
here are they that keep
the commandments of God,
00:28:27.64\00:28:31.54
and the faith of Jesus.
00:28:31.57\00:28:34.68
My friends, I pray that each
and every one of you will be
00:28:34.71\00:28:39.81
in that number that will
stand fast and true to God's
00:28:39.85\00:28:44.92
commandments, though
the heavens may fall,
00:28:44.95\00:28:47.32
and all of earth will be against
you, Jesus will never leave
00:28:47.36\00:28:52.89
one of His beloved children.
00:28:52.93\00:28:55.36
May you be
established forever in this,
00:28:55.40\00:28:59.60
which is the present
truth. God bless you!
00:28:59.63\00:29:02.70
This is The Forerunner.
00:29:02.74\00:29:04.27
And as always,
whether you like it or not,
00:29:04.31\00:29:07.28
the truth is the truth.
00:29:07.31\00:29:10.51
