Hi and you're now with
The Forerunner Chronicles.
00:00:45.31\00:00:48.14
All right everybody,
I'd like to welcome you to
00:00:48.21\00:00:50.88
a special series of
The Forerunner Chronicles
00:00:50.91\00:00:54.05
entitled, "A
Formation of a New World Order"
00:00:54.08\00:00:56.79
and I assure you,
you don't want to miss
00:00:56.82\00:00:59.49
one part of this series
00:00:59.55\00:01:00.89
because currently,
this is an inquiry,
00:01:00.92\00:01:03.26
this is a question that is
at the forefront of the minds of
00:01:03.29\00:01:06.19
many people within our Society
00:01:06.23\00:01:08.06
with an
impending economic collapse
00:01:08.13\00:01:10.43
in the EU and in the
United States of America as well
00:01:10.47\00:01:14.30
and with social
unrest manifesting itself
00:01:14.34\00:01:17.67
in many different ways
like the "Occupy Movement"
00:01:17.71\00:01:20.24
which is currently
sweeping through our globe
00:01:20.28\00:01:22.71
people really want to know
whether or not a New World Order
00:01:22.74\00:01:26.82
could come into existence.
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.18
People really want to know
whether or not globalization
00:01:28.22\00:01:31.92
could be the
reality which we live in
00:01:31.95\00:01:35.19
in the very near future.
00:01:35.22\00:01:37.69
And as always... the
Bible has all of the answers.
00:01:37.73\00:01:41.86
Are you ready? Well let's begin.
00:01:41.90\00:01:43.60
In the book of 1 Thessalonians,
chapter 5 beginning at verse 1,
00:01:43.63\00:01:48.07
the Bible tells us,
00:01:48.10\00:01:49.50
"But of the times and
the seasons, brethren,
00:01:49.54\00:01:51.87
ye have no need
that I write unto you.
00:01:51.91\00:01:53.74
For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord
00:01:53.78\00:01:57.28
so cometh as a
thief in the night.
00:01:57.31\00:01:59.48
For when they shall
say, Peace and safety;
00:01:59.51\00:02:02.38
then sudden
destruction cometh upon them,
00:02:02.42\00:02:05.25
as travail upon
a woman with child;
00:02:05.29\00:02:07.52
and they shall not escape. "
00:02:07.56\00:02:10.83
According to the Apostle Paul
00:02:10.86\00:02:13.03
under the inspiration
of the Spirit of God,
00:02:13.06\00:02:15.50
in reference to the
specific time and season
00:02:15.53\00:02:17.87
dealing with the
second coming of Jesus Christ,
00:02:17.90\00:02:20.20
this information
00:02:20.24\00:02:21.57
is not something that we
need to concern ourselves with
00:02:21.60\00:02:24.87
because the Bible does
not give us this information.
00:02:24.94\00:02:28.31
However, there has
been enough revealed to us
00:02:28.34\00:02:30.91
in the Holy Scriptures to
give us the clear understanding
00:02:30.95\00:02:34.05
that we know that the
Day of the Lord will come
00:02:34.08\00:02:37.89
as a thief in the night.
00:02:37.92\00:02:40.76
However, when we should be
00:02:40.79\00:02:43.53
looking for the second
coming of Jesus Christ,
00:02:43.56\00:02:45.49
during the time in which we
should be preparing our hearts
00:02:45.53\00:02:49.06
to meet the King of
Kings, and Lord of Lords,
00:02:49.13\00:02:52.20
during the time in which
we should be turning our minds
00:02:52.23\00:02:54.77
to the Lamb of God
00:02:54.80\00:02:56.34
which taketh away
the sin of the world,
00:02:56.40\00:02:58.64
so that by faith in
His grace, in His power,
00:02:58.67\00:03:00.88
we might be
liberated from our lying,
00:03:00.91\00:03:02.64
our backbiting, our
stealing, our adultery,
00:03:02.71\00:03:04.91
our smoking, our alcoholism,
all of these shackles
00:03:04.98\00:03:08.02
that have bound us to the devil,
00:03:08.05\00:03:09.75
during this time, in
which we should be looking
00:03:09.78\00:03:12.72
to have this experience
because Jesus is coming,
00:03:12.75\00:03:15.66
there will be people in
this world that will be saying,
00:03:15.69\00:03:18.69
"No! peace and
safety... peace and safety... "
00:03:18.73\00:03:23.97
That word "peace"
in the original Greek
00:03:24.00\00:03:27.17
from whence it was
translated gives the connotation
00:03:27.20\00:03:30.01
that these
individuals are saying,
00:03:30.04\00:03:31.47
"Join together as
one, for prosperity. "
00:03:31.51\00:03:35.01
And that word
"Safety" in the original Greek
00:03:35.04\00:03:38.31
from which it was
translated means "Security"
00:03:38.35\00:03:41.18
so, in other words,
these individuals are saying,
00:03:41.22\00:03:44.32
"Join together as one
to ensure our prosperity
00:03:44.35\00:03:47.42
and our security. "
00:03:47.46\00:03:48.89
Let me make it plain
to you, during the time,
00:03:48.92\00:03:51.86
just prior to the
second coming of Jesus Christ,
00:03:51.89\00:03:54.80
in the last days of
this world's existence,
00:03:54.83\00:03:58.33
which happens to be
NOW, people in our world
00:03:58.40\00:04:01.97
will be saying, "We
need interfaith movements,
00:04:02.00\00:04:05.51
we need an ecumenical movement
00:04:05.54\00:04:07.78
to bring all
faiths together as one,
00:04:07.81\00:04:10.15
we need a
one-world economic system,
00:04:10.18\00:04:12.45
we need a one-world
Government structure
00:04:12.51\00:04:15.08
to ensure the prosperity
and the security of the Nations.
00:04:15.12\00:04:19.85
Have you ever
heard anything like that?
00:04:19.89\00:04:22.59
Funny... I have...
and Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:04:22.62\00:04:25.89
when they're saying,
"Peace and safety... "
00:04:25.96\00:04:28.93
the Bible says that sudden
destruction will come upon them
00:04:28.96\00:04:34.40
as travail upon
a woman with child
00:04:34.44\00:04:37.34
and they shall not escape.
00:04:37.37\00:04:40.68
Now, I have two questions
that I would like to ask you
00:04:40.71\00:04:43.55
and I hope you find them
just as interesting as I do.
00:04:43.61\00:04:46.41
Question number one,
00:04:46.45\00:04:47.78
Is it possible for
a woman to be pregnant
00:04:47.82\00:04:51.15
and not know
that she's pregnant?
00:04:51.19\00:04:52.69
The answer to that
question is, "Yes. "
00:04:52.72\00:04:55.06
Now, Question number two,
00:04:55.09\00:04:56.93
which is quite more interesting
than the first question.
00:04:56.96\00:04:59.33
Is it possible for a
woman to go into child labor
00:04:59.36\00:05:03.87
and not know that
what she's experiencing
00:05:03.90\00:05:06.97
at that time is
actually child labor?
00:05:07.04\00:05:09.77
Now, there are
several mothers out there
00:05:09.80\00:05:12.37
that might have
several children,
00:05:12.44\00:05:13.78
and they're shaking
their head and saying,
00:05:13.81\00:05:15.24
"No, that is impossible. "
00:05:15.28\00:05:16.88
But the reality of the situation
is, "Yes, it is possible"
00:05:16.91\00:05:21.12
and let me share with
you how it could be possible
00:05:21.15\00:05:23.85
by sharing with
you this scenario.
00:05:23.89\00:05:26.72
Let's say for
instance there was a woman
00:05:26.76\00:05:29.59
that was pregnant and
she went to her doctor
00:05:29.62\00:05:31.99
and she said to her doctor,
00:05:32.03\00:05:33.36
"Doctor, I believe I'm getting
ready to go into child birth,
00:05:33.40\00:05:36.13
I believe I'm ready to have
00:05:36.16\00:05:37.57
my baby" and the
doctor looks her over
00:05:37.60\00:05:39.43
and says, "Well, what
makes you think that?"
00:05:39.47\00:05:40.94
And she says,
00:05:40.97\00:05:42.30
"Well, I felt the baby kicking
in my stomach this morning. "
00:05:42.34\00:05:45.17
What do you think the
doctor would say to her?
00:05:45.24\00:05:47.28
I hope the
doctor would say to her,
00:05:47.31\00:05:49.64
"Don't worry, you're not getting
ready to go into childbirth,
00:05:49.68\00:05:52.95
the baby is
just letting you know
00:05:52.98\00:05:54.32
that it's alive
and it's healthy,
00:05:54.35\00:05:55.68
however, when you feel
those labor contractions
00:05:55.72\00:05:59.72
about five minutes apart,
then rush to the emergency room
00:05:59.75\00:06:03.73
because you can
know at that time,
00:06:03.76\00:06:05.79
you are getting ready
to deliver your child. "
00:06:05.83\00:06:08.93
You see, the reason
why that woman did not know
00:06:08.96\00:06:12.03
whether or not she was
going into child labor or not,
00:06:12.07\00:06:15.20
was because she was
not familiar with the signs
00:06:15.24\00:06:18.54
or the indicators that
foreshadowed childbirth
00:06:18.57\00:06:21.61
or that were the
harbingers of child delivery.
00:06:21.64\00:06:24.81
And this is the same
situation with these people
00:06:24.85\00:06:28.02
that will be living
here in these last days
00:06:28.05\00:06:31.09
saying, "Peace and safety. "
00:06:31.12\00:06:33.22
The only reason they'll
be saying, "Peace and safety"
00:06:33.25\00:06:37.13
the only reason
they'll be saying,
00:06:37.16\00:06:38.93
"We need to all
join together as one
00:06:38.99\00:06:41.23
for our
prosperity and our security"
00:06:41.26\00:06:43.50
is because, these
individuals are not familiar
00:06:43.57\00:06:47.74
with the signs that
indicate a time of deliverance
00:06:47.77\00:06:51.54
or these individuals
are willfully ignorant
00:06:51.57\00:06:55.31
or they are denying
that the signs that indicate
00:06:55.34\00:06:59.58
a time of
deliverance are now unfolding.
00:06:59.61\00:07:02.62
And what are these
signs that are the indicators
00:07:02.65\00:07:06.05
of this time of deliverance?
00:07:06.09\00:07:07.56
Well, Jesus himself
actually answered this question
00:07:07.59\00:07:11.76
in the book of
Matthew chapter 24.
00:07:11.79\00:07:14.00
In Matthew the 24th chapter,
when Jesus was answering
00:07:14.06\00:07:18.20
the inquiries of his disciples,
as to what the signs would be,
00:07:18.23\00:07:22.14
that foreshadowed the
destruction of Jerusalem,
00:07:22.17\00:07:25.01
the end of this world
and His second coming,
00:07:25.04\00:07:27.94
in verse 4, Jesus
answered and said unto them,
00:07:27.98\00:07:30.85
"Take heed that
no man deceive you.
00:07:30.88\00:07:33.55
For many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ;
00:07:33.58\00:07:36.95
and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars
00:07:36.99\00:07:40.12
and rumours of wars:
see that ye be not troubled:
00:07:40.16\00:07:43.26
for all these
things must come to pass,
00:07:43.29\00:07:45.39
but the end is not yet.
00:07:45.46\00:07:46.86
For nation shall
rise against nation,
00:07:46.90\00:07:49.36
and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines,
00:07:49.40\00:07:52.67
and pestilence, and
earthquakes, in divers places.
00:07:52.70\00:07:56.37
And all these are the
beginnings of sorrows. "
00:07:56.40\00:07:59.97
That word "sorrows"
in the original Greek,
00:08:00.01\00:08:03.51
from whence it was translated
means that all of these signs
00:08:03.55\00:08:07.58
are the
beginnings of the labor pains
00:08:07.62\00:08:10.39
or the beginnings of
the labor contractions.
00:08:10.42\00:08:13.92
Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:08:13.96\00:08:15.62
when we see nation
rise up against nation,
00:08:15.66\00:08:18.99
or races rising up to
annihilate other races,
00:08:19.03\00:08:22.20
we're talking
about genocide here,
00:08:22.23\00:08:24.13
are you seeing that
happen in our world today?
00:08:24.17\00:08:26.13
And when we see political
powers rising up to make war
00:08:26.17\00:08:29.37
with other political
powers, as well as famines,
00:08:29.40\00:08:32.64
and pestilence, and
earthquakes transpiring
00:08:32.67\00:08:35.71
all throughout our globe,
00:08:35.74\00:08:37.51
these all are the signs
of a time of deliverance.
00:08:37.55\00:08:41.52
Have you see these signs
taking place as of today?
00:08:41.55\00:08:45.45
Well, if you haven't seen them
as of yet, take a look at this.
00:08:45.49\00:08:49.29
This is recent
footage filmed in Africa
00:08:49.32\00:08:52.53
in which these
villagers thought they saw
00:08:52.56\00:08:55.73
an appearance
of the virgin Mary,
00:08:55.76\00:08:57.80
2 Corinthians 11
verse 14 tells us,
00:08:57.83\00:08:59.77
"And no marvel, for
Satan himself is transformed
00:08:59.83\00:09:02.74
into an angel of light. "
00:09:02.80\00:09:04.37
This is not special effects.
00:09:04.41\00:09:05.91
This is a fallen
angel, a demonic spirit.
00:09:05.94\00:09:09.01
Tokyo has announced plans
to dump nearly 12,000 tons of
00:09:09.04\00:09:14.38
radioactive water from
the Fukushima Power Plant.
00:09:14.42\00:09:16.95
Is this really harmless as
the Government is making out?
00:09:16.99\00:09:20.46
Absolutely not and in any
other normal circumstances
00:09:20.49\00:09:23.93
that leads to
such volumes of water
00:09:23.96\00:09:26.06
will be
described as catastrophic.
00:09:26.09\00:09:28.13
There's no concept of
how to stall the radioactive
00:09:28.16\00:09:32.77
fuel...
plutonium if it is ingested
00:09:32.80\00:09:36.30
by the human body... it
almost certainly leads to
00:09:36.34\00:09:40.61
the development of cancer.
00:09:40.64\00:09:42.08
Plutonium is a very, very
dangerous and harmful substance
00:09:42.11\00:09:46.11
which will radiate for many,
many, many thousands of years.
00:09:46.15\00:09:49.88
This is done to restore the
cooling system at the Facility
00:09:49.92\00:09:53.52
in what is now the worst
atomic crisis since Chernobyl.
00:09:53.56\00:09:57.09
Plutonium... if it is
ingested by the human body
00:09:57.13\00:10:01.70
it almost certainly leads
to the development of cancer.
00:10:01.73\00:10:05.87
Reporter speaking...

00:10:41.80\00:10:47.34
speaking
00:10:47.38\00:10:55.92
Wow! so do you
think it may be possible
00:13:15.26\00:13:18.83
that men have actually
developed the technology
00:13:18.89\00:13:22.66
that can give
them the ability to
00:13:22.73\00:13:24.73
harness the elements of nature
00:13:24.77\00:13:26.74
and then use that energy
for the purpose of weaponry?
00:13:26.77\00:13:30.57
Well, that's a whole other issue
00:13:30.61\00:13:32.61
for a whole other episode...
00:13:32.67\00:13:34.61
but currently
one thing is certain
00:13:34.64\00:13:37.11
false Christ's are arising,
00:13:37.15\00:13:39.75
nations are rising up
against other nations,
00:13:39.78\00:13:42.68
the political
powers of our world
00:13:42.72\00:13:45.32
are seeking to make
war with one another,
00:13:45.35\00:13:48.12
famines, pestilence,
earthquakes taking place
00:13:48.16\00:13:50.89
in all different
parts of our globe,
00:13:50.93\00:13:52.63
all of these events
are right now unfolding
00:13:52.66\00:13:56.03
right before our very
eyes, and the Bible tells us,
00:13:56.06\00:14:00.10
that all these are
the beginnings of sorrows,
00:14:00.14\00:14:03.44
they are the
beginnings of the labor pains,
00:14:03.47\00:14:06.74
the labor contractions,
these events are the harbingers
00:14:06.78\00:14:11.31
of a time of deliverance,
00:14:11.38\00:14:13.55
and I can imagine,
00:14:13.58\00:14:15.12
that many of you that
are watching this program
00:14:15.15\00:14:17.65
right now are
saying, "Praise the Lord
00:14:17.69\00:14:19.32
because that means Jesus Christ
is coming right back to save us,
00:14:19.35\00:14:22.99
and we're going to get out
of this God-forsaken place"
00:14:23.02\00:14:25.06
and I say, "Praise
the Lord... " with you
00:14:25.09\00:14:27.50
because I await
00:14:27.56\00:14:28.90
the near-second-coming
of Jesus Christ as well,
00:14:28.93\00:14:31.77
however, the time of deliverance
00:14:31.80\00:14:34.54
that the Bible is
speaking of right here,
00:14:34.57\00:14:37.54
is not the immediate
return of Jesus Christ.
00:14:37.57\00:14:40.48
You don't believe me?
00:14:40.54\00:14:41.98
Well, the Bible tells
us in the very next verse
00:14:42.01\00:14:44.88
Matthew chapter 24 and verse 9,
00:14:44.91\00:14:47.62
"And then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted,
00:14:47.65\00:14:52.69
and shall kill you: and ye
shall be hated of all nations
00:14:52.75\00:14:57.76
for my name's sake. "
00:14:57.79\00:14:59.29
Ladies and Gentlemen,
these events that we see
00:14:59.33\00:15:03.10
taking place right
now within our world,
00:15:03.13\00:15:06.03
they are the events
that are foreshadowing
00:15:06.07\00:15:08.74
a time of
trouble such as never was
00:15:08.77\00:15:11.87
that God's people
will have to pass through.
00:15:11.91\00:15:14.88
They are the harbingers
of a time of persecution
00:15:14.91\00:15:18.85
for those who hold fast
to the name of the Lord.
00:15:18.88\00:15:22.82
And what does it
mean that God's people
00:15:22.85\00:15:25.65
would be hated of all
nations for His name's sake?
00:15:25.69\00:15:29.36
Does it mean that
people will be hated
00:15:29.42\00:15:31.13
because they are
called Christians?
00:15:31.16\00:15:33.53
I beg to differ...
and I beg to differ
00:15:33.56\00:15:35.86
because of the information
found within the Bible
00:15:35.90\00:15:38.37
in conjunction with
the name of the Lord.
00:15:38.40\00:15:41.14
You see, we are told
in the book of Exodus,
00:15:41.17\00:15:43.81
chapter 34 beginning at
verse 5 something very important
00:15:43.87\00:15:48.34
about the name of the Lord.
00:15:48.41\00:15:49.81
We are told there,
00:15:49.84\00:15:51.18
"And the Lord
descended in a cloud,
00:15:51.21\00:15:53.35
and stood with him there,
00:15:53.38\00:15:54.85
and proclaimed
the name of the Lord.
00:15:54.88\00:15:57.09
And the Lord passed by
before him, and proclaimed,
00:15:57.12\00:16:00.99
The Lord, the Lord
God, merciful and gracious,
00:16:01.02\00:16:04.59
longsuffering, and
abundant in goodness and truth,
00:16:04.63\00:16:08.16
keeping mercy for
thousands, forgiving iniquity
00:16:08.20\00:16:11.70
and transgression and sin,
00:16:11.73\00:16:13.34
and that will by no
means clear the guilty;
00:16:13.40\00:16:15.87
visiting the
iniquity of the fathers
00:16:15.90\00:16:18.34
upon the children,
00:16:18.37\00:16:19.71
and upon the
children's children,
00:16:19.74\00:16:21.68
unto the third and
fourth generation. "
00:16:21.71\00:16:24.35
When God
proclaimed His name there,
00:16:24.38\00:16:27.02
in Exodus chapter 34,
00:16:27.05\00:16:28.92
verses 5, 6 and 7,
00:16:28.95\00:16:30.75
He didn't show a
bright shining light.
00:16:30.79\00:16:33.02
He didn't say, "My
name is the I am. "
00:16:33.05\00:16:35.22
He didn't say, "My
name is Joshua or Jehovah"
00:16:35.26\00:16:38.69
no, He said His name
is, "merciful, gracious,
00:16:38.73\00:16:42.16
longsuffering,
abundant in goodness and truth"
00:16:42.20\00:16:45.27
God began to
delineate the very aspects
00:16:45.30\00:16:48.40
that make up His
divine character.
00:16:48.44\00:16:51.17
This is the reason why
God's people will be hated
00:16:51.21\00:16:56.18
of all nations
in these last days.
00:16:56.21\00:16:58.88
We will be hated
because we reveal the character
00:16:58.91\00:17:02.65
of the Almighty.
00:17:02.68\00:17:04.02
But did you notice
something important
00:17:04.05\00:17:05.69
about the name of
the Lord found there
00:17:05.72\00:17:08.52
in the book of Exodus
chapter 34 verses 5 through 7?
00:17:08.56\00:17:12.66
Did you notice that God said,
"... He will visit the iniquity
00:17:12.69\00:17:16.30
of the fathers upon the children
and upon the children's children
00:17:16.33\00:17:19.90
to the third and
fourth generation?"
00:17:19.93\00:17:21.70
Did you realize that
it is actually one of the
00:17:21.74\00:17:24.51
principles that is found
within the 2nd Commandment
00:17:24.57\00:17:27.24
of the book of
Exodus chapter 20?
00:17:27.28\00:17:29.61
That's very important
for us to acknowledge,
00:17:29.64\00:17:31.91
because the Bible tells us
something very important about
00:17:31.95\00:17:35.35
the commandments in the book
of James chapter 2 and verse 10.
00:17:35.38\00:17:38.75
We are told there,
00:17:38.79\00:17:40.12
"For whosoever
keeps the whole law,
00:17:40.16\00:17:41.79
yet offends in one
point, he is guilty of all. "
00:17:41.82\00:17:44.59
The reason why, if
you keep all the law
00:17:44.63\00:17:47.90
yet you break one law,
00:17:47.93\00:17:49.26
that means you've
broken all the Commandments,
00:17:49.30\00:17:50.97
is because the Commandments
are one interlocking chain.
00:17:51.00\00:17:54.57
Nothing can be added and
nothing can be subtracted.
00:17:54.60\00:17:58.14
If you mention one Commandment,
00:17:58.17\00:17:59.97
you've mentioned
all of the Commandments,
00:18:00.01\00:18:01.51
if you break one Commandment,
00:18:01.54\00:18:02.88
you've broken all
of the Commandments.
00:18:02.91\00:18:04.35
Therefore, because God mentioned
that one of the attributes
00:18:04.38\00:18:08.38
of His character can be
found within the Commandments,
00:18:08.42\00:18:11.32
this lets us know that the
00:18:11.35\00:18:13.22
Commandments are
actually a transcript
00:18:13.25\00:18:15.62
of the character of God.
00:18:15.66\00:18:17.89
You see, God's people will
be hated in these last days
00:18:17.93\00:18:22.96
for his name's
sake, because God's people
00:18:23.00\00:18:26.27
reveal His character
00:18:26.30\00:18:27.77
because by faith
in the power of God,
00:18:27.80\00:18:30.17
with the power
of the Spirit of God
00:18:30.21\00:18:32.51
operating within their lives,
they are walking in obedience
00:18:32.54\00:18:36.68
to all of God's
ten Commandments.
00:18:36.71\00:18:39.08
The world will hate God's people
00:18:39.11\00:18:41.38
because they are
true Commandment-keepers.
00:18:41.42\00:18:43.99
They don't keep one Commandment,
00:18:44.05\00:18:45.39
the don't keep two Commandments,
not even three or five...
00:18:45.42\00:18:47.82
they keep all ten
of God's Commandments.
00:18:47.86\00:18:50.96
And that's why the
world will hate them.
00:18:50.99\00:18:54.06
That's why the world
will hate us... I pray...
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.70
because we don't budge,
00:18:56.73\00:18:58.23
we don't give into
what man has to say.
00:18:58.27\00:19:01.54
We only pay true homage,
00:19:01.57\00:19:03.81
we only fear and reverence
the God of the universe
00:19:03.87\00:19:07.98
because He is the only one
00:19:08.01\00:19:10.11
who should be the
Government of our consciousness.
00:19:10.15\00:19:13.52
Ladies and
Gentlemen, my friends,
00:19:13.55\00:19:16.99
this war... it is
right now upon us...
00:19:17.02\00:19:20.96
and what amazes me is
that as this stupendous crisis
00:19:20.99\00:19:26.49
is rapidly stealing
upon the human family,
00:19:26.53\00:19:29.80
there are still those
within our global community
00:19:29.83\00:19:33.23
that are mocking
00:19:33.27\00:19:34.67
at the fact that these events
00:19:34.70\00:19:36.50
that we see taking
place within our world,
00:19:36.54\00:19:39.07
are in all actuality the signs
that Jesus spoke of in the Bible
00:19:39.11\00:19:44.88
they're saying,
"Since I've been alive,
00:19:44.91\00:19:47.22
there have always been wars,
there have always been famines,
00:19:47.25\00:19:49.68
there has always been
pestilence, earthquakes,
00:19:49.72\00:19:51.45
all of these
things... they're not new...
00:19:51.49\00:19:53.09
they've always taken place.
00:19:53.12\00:19:55.09
But do you know something?
00:19:55.12\00:19:57.06
The Bible has
already forewarned us
00:19:57.09\00:20:00.23
that these types of
00:20:00.26\00:20:01.66
willfully ignorant individuals
00:20:01.70\00:20:03.87
would be in existence
here in these last days.
00:20:03.90\00:20:06.74
We are told this in the book
00:20:06.80\00:20:08.60
of 2nd Peter chapter
3 beginning at verse 3,
00:20:08.64\00:20:11.67
the Bible tells us there
00:20:11.71\00:20:13.48
"Knowing this first,
00:20:13.51\00:20:15.24
that there shall come
in the last days scoffers,
00:20:15.28\00:20:19.51
walking after their
own lusts, and saying,
00:20:19.55\00:20:22.75
wherein is the sign of
the promise of his coming?
00:20:22.78\00:20:26.15
for since the
fathers fell asleep,
00:20:26.19\00:20:28.29
all things continue
00:20:28.32\00:20:29.99
as they were since the
beginning of creation. "
00:20:30.03\00:20:32.99
Do you get what they're saying?
00:20:33.03\00:20:34.73
These individuals are saying,
00:20:34.76\00:20:36.40
Since my
grandfather fell asleep,
00:20:36.43\00:20:38.27
and he told me about
Jesus Christ's coming.
00:20:38.30\00:20:40.34
Since my father fell asleep
00:20:40.37\00:20:41.97
and he told me about
Jesus Christ's coming
00:20:42.00\00:20:44.47
Jesus hasn't come yet,
00:20:44.51\00:20:46.07
people have been talking
about the coming of Jesus Christ
00:20:46.11\00:20:48.48
for hundreds of years,
and I haven't seen Jesus yet.
00:20:48.51\00:20:51.68
I haven't seen
any of these troubles,
00:20:51.71\00:20:53.98
that you're talking about
happening on this world yet.
00:20:54.02\00:20:56.85
Well, you're not going to have
to wait much longer my friend,
00:20:56.89\00:21:00.19
because these troubles are
coming... and shortly thereafter
00:21:00.22\00:21:03.56
Jesus will come to
redeem the faithful
00:21:03.59\00:21:06.36
and you want to know
something, Jesus Himself,
00:21:06.39\00:21:09.56
has actually given us an
important piece of information
00:21:09.60\00:21:13.94
that can help us
qualify as to when
00:21:13.97\00:21:17.11
we can know of a certainty
these signs are actually
00:21:17.17\00:21:20.54
the fulfillment of
the prophetic events
00:21:20.58\00:21:22.44
that are the
precursor of a time of trouble
00:21:22.48\00:21:24.98
that is the precursor for the
second coming of Jesus Christ.
00:21:25.01\00:21:28.88
That important information
00:21:28.92\00:21:30.49
is found within
the book of Matthew
00:21:30.55\00:21:32.59
chapter 24 and verse
28, there Jesus told us
00:21:32.62\00:21:36.99
"For wheresoever the carcass is,
00:21:37.03\00:21:39.89
there will the eagles
be gathered together. "
00:21:39.96\00:21:43.70
That word "eagles"
in the original Greek
00:21:43.73\00:21:46.53
from whence it was
translated, means "vultures"
00:21:46.57\00:21:49.14
that makes a lot
of sense doesn't it?
00:21:49.17\00:21:51.01
So in other
words, Jesus was saying,
00:21:51.04\00:21:52.84
"Wheresoever the carcass is,
00:21:52.87\00:21:55.34
there will the
vultures be gathered together. "
00:21:55.38\00:21:58.21
Now, if you don't
know much about vultures,
00:21:58.25\00:22:01.05
here's a little insight.
00:22:01.08\00:22:02.58
If you see one vulture
flying about in the air,
00:22:02.62\00:22:05.42
in my opinion, all you're seeing
is a big unattractive bird.
00:22:05.45\00:22:09.26
Like I said, that's my opinion.
00:22:09.32\00:22:11.46
However, when you see
two and three, four and five,
00:22:11.49\00:22:15.83
of these huge carnivorous
birds, flying around in the air
00:22:15.86\00:22:19.77
doing a circular pattern,
you can know of a certainty
00:22:19.83\00:22:23.57
that there is a dead
body of something or someone
00:22:23.61\00:22:27.34
that is nearby, that
these birds are getting
00:22:27.38\00:22:30.08
ready to swoop down on
and make it their meal.
00:22:30.11\00:22:32.75
And Jesus Himself has given us
this Object Lesson from nature
00:22:32.78\00:22:37.89
that we might superimpose
it upon our understanding
00:22:37.92\00:22:41.66
of the events of
Matthew chapter 24
00:22:41.69\00:22:45.29
as to our understanding
as to when these events
00:22:45.33\00:22:49.46
are actually being fulfilled.
00:22:49.50\00:22:51.63
In other words,
00:22:51.67\00:22:53.10
not when we see
one famine happening
00:22:53.13\00:22:56.17
as an isolated event,
00:22:56.20\00:22:57.77
or one war happening
as an isolated event,
00:22:57.81\00:23:00.48
but when we see the
famines and the pestilence
00:23:00.51\00:23:03.14
and the
earthquakes in diverse places,
00:23:03.18\00:23:05.01
and the wars and the genocide
all happening simultaneously,
00:23:05.05\00:23:09.62
like a swarm of vultures
circling around in the air,
00:23:09.65\00:23:12.89
we can know that the
time in which God's people
00:23:12.92\00:23:16.56
will suffer persecution
00:23:16.59\00:23:18.26
because we hold fast to
the Commandments of God,
00:23:18.29\00:23:20.90
is right upon us,
00:23:20.96\00:23:22.73
and that's what's going on
right now in our world today.
00:23:22.76\00:23:27.04
The Bible tells us
00:23:27.07\00:23:29.27
in the book of Matthew
chapter 24 and verse 20,
00:23:29.30\00:23:34.21
some of the most
important information
00:23:34.28\00:23:36.48
that we need to
understand right now.
00:23:36.51\00:23:38.65
Jesus' warning to us was
this, "But pray that your flight
00:23:38.68\00:23:44.49
be not in the winter,
neither on the Sabbath day:"
00:23:44.52\00:23:48.69
Now as a person
that's from New York,
00:23:48.72\00:23:51.09
this information
makes a lot of sense to me,
00:23:51.13\00:23:53.70
because Number one,
00:23:53.73\00:23:55.06
I know what cold
winters feel like,
00:23:55.10\00:23:57.13
and I don't want to flee
any place during the winter.
00:23:57.17\00:23:59.60
And Number two,
as a Sabbath-keeper,
00:23:59.63\00:24:02.27
I know according
to the book of Exodus,
00:24:02.30\00:24:04.97
chapter 20 and verse
8, that God tells us,
00:24:05.01\00:24:07.28
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:24:07.31\00:24:09.51
Six days shalt thou
labour and do all thy work:
00:24:09.54\00:24:11.85
But the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God:
00:24:11.91\00:24:14.42
and in it thou
shalt not do any work... "
00:24:14.45\00:24:16.42
The winter is not a convenient
time to be fleeing any place,
00:24:16.45\00:24:19.62
and the Sabbath
day is not a time
00:24:19.65\00:24:21.59
in which we should
be fleeing any place.
00:24:21.62\00:24:23.93
It is a time that God
has appointed for us to rest
00:24:23.96\00:24:26.66
and spend time in
loving communion with Him.
00:24:26.70\00:24:29.26
However, when we look at
this warning from Jesus Christ,
00:24:29.30\00:24:32.57
and look closer at
these two appointed times,
00:24:32.60\00:24:35.80
these two appointed seasons...
00:24:35.87\00:24:37.51
we learn that there is
something more interesting
00:24:37.54\00:24:40.54
and much more
imperative of a nature
00:24:40.58\00:24:43.21
that Christ wants us
00:24:43.24\00:24:44.58
to understand at this time.
00:24:44.61\00:24:45.95
There was one common thread
that binds the times of winter
00:24:45.98\00:24:50.22
and the Sabbath day together,
and that is... preparation...
00:24:50.25\00:24:54.62
You see, you must make
the necessary preparations
00:24:54.66\00:24:57.49
for the winter,
00:24:57.53\00:24:58.86
you make sure you have
your warm winter clothes,
00:24:58.89\00:25:00.86
you make sure that
there is oil in the tank
00:25:00.90\00:25:02.90
so that your family can be
warm during the cold months,
00:25:02.93\00:25:05.93
and if you live
in certain regions,
00:25:05.97\00:25:07.50
you make sure you have
enough food to supply your needs
00:25:07.54\00:25:10.44
just in case the
snow keeps you inside.
00:25:10.47\00:25:14.21
And as Sabbath
keepers we know that you are
00:25:14.24\00:25:17.88
supposed to make preparations
00:25:17.91\00:25:19.41
for the Sabbath
day, because once again,
00:25:19.45\00:25:21.58
"Six days shalt thou
labor and do all they work:
00:25:21.62\00:25:24.09
But the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God:
00:25:24.12\00:25:26.52
and in it thou
shalt not do any work... "
00:25:26.55\00:25:28.86
Why? Because
you were supposed to
00:25:28.89\00:25:30.79
make the necessary preparations
on the previous six days.
00:25:30.83\00:25:34.60
Jesus' warning to us is this,
00:25:34.63\00:25:36.83
"Pray that you do not try to
make the necessary preparations
00:25:36.87\00:25:42.50
before it is too
late to prepare. "
00:25:42.54\00:25:45.67
Why? Verse 21 of
Matthew chapter 24
00:25:45.74\00:25:48.84
tells us... we are told there,
00:25:48.88\00:25:50.58
"For then shall
be great tribulation,
00:25:50.61\00:25:52.81
such as was not since
the beginning of the world
00:25:52.85\00:25:55.82
to this time, no,
nor ever shall be. "
00:25:55.88\00:25:58.35
Ladies and Gentlemen,
00:25:58.39\00:26:00.09
when this time of
tribulation comes,
00:26:00.16\00:26:02.06
when this crisis comes,
00:26:02.12\00:26:03.89
there will be no
more time to prepare,
00:26:03.93\00:26:06.36
the time to prepare is now,
because in a crisis situation,
00:26:06.39\00:26:11.07
"character is not formed"
00:26:11.13\00:26:13.10
the character
that you have formed
00:26:13.13\00:26:15.54
is revealed in the crisis.
00:26:15.60\00:26:17.67
What will your character be?
00:26:17.71\00:26:19.74
Are you preparing by
having a loving relationship
00:26:19.77\00:26:23.95
with Jesus Christ every day?
00:26:23.98\00:26:25.71
By searching the Scriptures
00:26:25.75\00:26:27.38
and spending time
with Him in prayer.
00:26:27.42\00:26:29.12
Are you yielding your heart
00:26:29.18\00:26:30.92
to the leading
of the Holy Spirit,
00:26:30.95\00:26:33.02
as He guides you into all truth,
00:26:33.05\00:26:35.06
as He leads you to
put away your sins,
00:26:35.09\00:26:37.13
and take upon yourself
the love, the joy, the peace,
00:26:37.19\00:26:39.63
the longsuffering, the
gentleness, the goodness,
00:26:39.66\00:26:42.06
the faith, the
meekness and temperance,
00:26:42.10\00:26:44.00
which are all the
fruit of the Spirit
00:26:44.03\00:26:46.13
according to
Galatians 5 and verse 22.
00:26:46.17\00:26:48.20
Is this your daily experience?
00:26:48.27\00:26:50.34
If it is not, today is the
time to begin your preparation.
00:26:50.37\00:26:54.38
I thank God that we're told
00:26:54.41\00:26:56.11
in the book of 1 John
chapter 1 and verse 9,
00:26:56.14\00:26:58.88
"If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just
00:26:58.91\00:27:01.62
to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us
00:27:01.65\00:27:04.35
from all unrighteousness. "
00:27:04.39\00:27:06.09
I need this cleansing,
you need this cleansing,
00:27:06.12\00:27:09.89
the world needs to
experience this cleansing,
00:27:09.92\00:27:13.63
before the crisis touches down.
00:27:13.66\00:27:16.46
And as the Bible tells us,
in 1 Peter chapter 4 and verse 7
00:27:16.50\00:27:22.47
"But the end of
all things is at hand:
00:27:22.50\00:27:24.97
be ye therefore sober,
and watch unto prayer. "
00:27:25.04\00:27:29.38
I pray that you take
this information to heart
00:27:29.41\00:27:33.75
because the crisis
is right before us.
00:27:33.78\00:27:37.32
As always... this
is The Forerunner...
00:27:37.35\00:27:40.86
and whether you like it or not,
00:27:40.89\00:27:43.19
the truth is the truth.
00:27:43.22\00:27:45.93
