Did man come
from God or monkeys?
00:00:09.50\00:00:12.84
That's our topic
on His Voice Today.
00:00:12.87\00:00:15.91
Welcome to
another His Voice Today
00:00:15.94\00:00:18.18
with Steve Wohlberg.
00:00:18.21\00:00:19.55
'The Evolution
Delusion,' that's our topic.
00:00:26.39\00:00:29.99
I'd like to start with
00:00:30.03\00:00:31.49
the very first line of
the Bible, Genesis 1:1,
00:00:31.53\00:00:37.23
God's book says
"In the beginning,
00:00:37.27\00:00:39.87
God created the
heavens and the earth."
00:00:39.90\00:00:44.37
Going down to the
Book of Exodus Chapter 20,
00:00:44.41\00:00:47.74
it's the chapter on
the Ten Commandments,
00:00:47.78\00:00:49.44
The big ten which God wrote
with his own finger on stone,
00:00:49.48\00:00:52.75
in verse 11,
00:00:52.78\00:00:54.12
which is the conclusion
of the fourth commandment,
00:00:54.15\00:00:56.69
God says, "For in six
days the Lord made the heavens
00:00:56.72\00:01:01.06
and the earth, the sea,
and all that in them is,
00:01:01.09\00:01:04.36
and He rested the seventh day.
00:01:04.39\00:01:06.19
Wherefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day,
00:01:06.23\00:01:08.83
and hallowed it."
00:01:08.86\00:01:11.50
Going down biblical history,
00:01:11.53\00:01:13.40
all the way down to
the last book of the Bible,
00:01:13.44\00:01:15.40
the Book of
Revelation Chapter 14,
00:01:15.44\00:01:18.91
and we've been talking
about this in previous programs.
00:01:18.94\00:01:21.84
Talks about the
Three Angels Messages
00:01:21.88\00:01:24.28
which are special messages
that God has set to the world
00:01:24.31\00:01:28.18
just before the
return of Jesus Christ,
00:01:28.22\00:01:31.05
these messages are described
in the Chapter 14:6-12,
00:01:31.09\00:01:35.86
and then in verses 14,
00:01:35.89\00:01:37.69
right after these
messages are complete
00:01:37.73\00:01:41.36
and given to the world.
00:01:41.40\00:01:42.73
Verse 14 says "I looked,
and behold a white cloud,
00:01:42.76\00:01:45.37
and upon the cloud one
sat like the Son of man,
00:01:45.40\00:01:48.10
having on His
head a golden crown,
00:01:48.14\00:01:50.11
and in His hand a sharp sickle."
00:01:50.14\00:01:52.37
It's harvest time.
00:01:52.41\00:01:53.74
Jesus comes to reap
the harvest of the earth.
00:01:53.78\00:01:55.64
So right before the harvest,
before the return of Christ,
00:01:55.68\00:01:58.78
we have the
messages of the three angels,
00:01:58.81\00:02:01.38
and if you go
down to Chapter 14: 7,
00:02:01.42\00:02:06.39
we have the
conclusion of the first angel,
00:02:06.42\00:02:08.92
which is a special call
00:02:08.96\00:02:10.73
to worship the
maker of heaven and earth.
00:02:10.76\00:02:13.09
The Bible says
with the loud voice
00:02:13.13\00:02:15.36
"...worship Him that
made heaven and earth,
00:02:15.40\00:02:19.93
and the sea and the
fountains of waters."
00:02:19.97\00:02:23.74
In other words, worship
the one who made all life,
00:02:23.77\00:02:27.11
the one who made you,
and the one who made me.
00:02:27.14\00:02:31.71
This is a special call in
the last book of the Bible.
00:02:31.75\00:02:35.22
It's a special message,
00:02:35.25\00:02:37.52
which is to
sound around the world
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.35
right before
the coming of Jesus.
00:02:39.39\00:02:42.86
It is no secret,
that the majority,
00:02:42.89\00:02:46.63
at least in the
scientific community,
00:02:46.66\00:02:49.03
do not believe in
the Genesis account,
00:02:49.06\00:02:51.93
they don't believe
in the Ten Commandments,
00:02:51.97\00:02:53.60
they don't believe in
the Book of Revelation,
00:02:53.64\00:02:55.60
and they don't
believe what the Bible says
00:02:55.64\00:02:57.41
that God made the
heavens and that the earth.
00:02:57.44\00:03:00.61
They believe,
00:03:00.64\00:03:01.98
at least a lot of
them believe in a teaching,
00:03:02.01\00:03:04.78
in a doctrine
called 'Evolution.'
00:03:04.81\00:03:07.98
Evolution is taught
today in most public schools.
00:03:08.02\00:03:12.15
It's taught in textbooks
of all ages, all levels.
00:03:12.19\00:03:17.83
It's taught in
the national parks,
00:03:17.86\00:03:19.79
in museums, science centers,
on television documentaries,
00:03:19.83\00:03:23.80
cartoons, I was reading a
book recently about vitamin D,
00:03:23.83\00:03:28.24
it's a great book dealing
with our need for sunshine
00:03:28.27\00:03:32.11
and how vitamin D
affects the whole body
00:03:32.14\00:03:34.88
and how every cell
has a vitamin D receptor.
00:03:34.91\00:03:38.25
And as I was
reading this great book,
00:03:38.28\00:03:40.32
talking about getting
out in the Sun appropriately,
00:03:40.35\00:03:42.35
not too much, not to burn.
00:03:42.38\00:03:44.95
Then it also talked about
00:03:44.99\00:03:46.32
how we've been
around for millions,
00:03:46.35\00:03:47.92
and millions, and
millions of years.
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.76
And I thought to
myself, "Are you sure?
00:03:49.79\00:03:53.29
You've got a lot of
science behind your,
00:03:53.33\00:03:55.43
your book dealing
with that nutrition,
00:03:55.46\00:03:57.67
and the body, and the skin,
and the liver, and the kidneys,
00:03:57.70\00:04:01.44
but what about
dealing with that evolution?
00:04:01.47\00:04:04.14
Where is the science?"
00:04:04.17\00:04:06.94
Last December, my wife
and my two little children,
00:04:06.98\00:04:10.18
Seth and Abby,
Abby is 4 and Seth is 8,
00:04:10.21\00:04:13.01
we were in Southern
California visiting my mother,
00:04:13.05\00:04:15.88
she lives in Palm Springs,
00:04:15.92\00:04:17.25
and as we were
driving down highway 10,
00:04:17.29\00:04:19.45
we were getting
closer to my mom's house
00:04:19.49\00:04:22.12
and we look on the
left side of the highway
00:04:22.16\00:04:24.26
and we saw this
gigantic dinosaur,
00:04:24.29\00:04:26.43
I think it was a
brontosaurus, and it was huge,
00:04:26.46\00:04:29.66
advertised as the
biggest dinosaur in the world.
00:04:29.70\00:04:32.60
And my kids just
really wanted to go over there
00:04:32.63\00:04:34.60
and take a look.
00:04:34.64\00:04:35.97
So we pulled off the
highway and went over,
00:04:36.00\00:04:37.77
and I was surprised to discover
00:04:37.81\00:04:40.08
that this dinosaur
was actually hollow
00:04:40.11\00:04:42.88
and inside of it there was--
00:04:42.91\00:04:44.81
there was a bookstore.
00:04:44.85\00:04:46.18
And so we thought we'd
go upstairs and take a look.
00:04:46.21\00:04:48.65
And as we walked up the
steps, there was a big sign,
00:04:48.68\00:04:51.75
right as you're going
up, and the sign said,
00:04:51.79\00:04:56.69
"Is planet earth
really billions of years old?
00:04:56.73\00:05:00.50
And I thought, "Oh,
that's a good question."
00:05:00.53\00:05:03.37
And as I got up to the top
00:05:03.40\00:05:05.23
of the biggest
dinosaur in the world
00:05:05.27\00:05:06.94
that was advertised,
00:05:06.97\00:05:08.30
I was pleasantly surprised
00:05:08.34\00:05:10.14
to see Bible verses on the walls
00:05:10.17\00:05:12.01
all around this bookstore
talking about how in six days
00:05:12.04\00:05:15.08
the Lord made the
heavens and the earth
00:05:15.11\00:05:17.45
and how He rested
on the seventh day.
00:05:17.48\00:05:19.41
And all these verses
talking about creation
00:05:19.45\00:05:21.35
and coming to find out that
there was a bookstore in there,
00:05:21.38\00:05:23.45
there was lots of toys
that promoted creation,
00:05:23.49\00:05:27.56
and the museum was
actually put together
00:05:27.59\00:05:31.33
by a group of creationists
00:05:31.36\00:05:33.63
who were trying to
enlighten the public,
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.56
as Paul Harvey used to say,
"with the rest of the story,"
00:05:35.60\00:05:39.13
telling them about creation
in contrast to evolution.
00:05:39.17\00:05:43.41
We went in and we
browsed around for quite a while
00:05:43.44\00:05:46.34
and bought our kids a
couple little knick-knacks,
00:05:46.37\00:05:50.71
and I looked
around at the bookshelf
00:05:50.75\00:05:53.01
and I was intrigued,
00:05:53.05\00:05:54.75
especially by this book
called 'Darwin's Demise,'
00:05:54.78\00:05:58.65
'Darwin's Demise.'
00:05:58.69\00:06:00.32
'Why evolution
can't take the heat?'
00:06:00.36\00:06:02.66
And it's written by a
man named Dr. Joe White
00:06:02.69\00:06:06.29
co-authored with Dr.
Nicholas Comninellis.
00:06:06.33\00:06:10.43
And I bought this
book and I was thrilled
00:06:10.47\00:06:14.07
as I read it, I
definitely recommend it.
00:06:14.10\00:06:17.61
It's a good book,
it's very eye-opening,
00:06:17.64\00:06:20.51
it's very
scientifically substantiated,
00:06:20.54\00:06:23.75
and it's very convincing.
00:06:23.78\00:06:26.38
This book deals
with all of the theories,
00:06:26.41\00:06:28.75
the evolutionary ideas,
it deals with the big-bang,
00:06:28.78\00:06:32.12
the concept that a
long, long time ago
00:06:32.15\00:06:33.96
there was just a big bang,
00:06:33.99\00:06:35.56
nobody knows
exactly how it happened,
00:06:35.59\00:06:37.33
why it happened, and apparently
after millions, and billions,
00:06:37.36\00:06:41.56
and even maybe
trillions of years,
00:06:41.60\00:06:44.70
that's how you got here,
and that's how I got here,
00:06:44.73\00:06:47.50
just mindless
forces in this universe.
00:06:47.54\00:06:51.67
This book talks about
spontaneous generation,
00:06:51.71\00:06:54.88
the idea that life
just came out of nothing,
00:06:54.91\00:06:58.18
things like positive mutations,
00:06:58.21\00:07:00.75
how apparently mutations
have taken place in life forms
00:07:00.78\00:07:05.09
and that has improved
life to eventually get to us,
00:07:05.12\00:07:09.22
natural selection,
survival of the fittest,
00:07:09.26\00:07:12.19
the geologic
column is looked at,
00:07:12.23\00:07:14.03
the different layers of sediment
00:07:14.06\00:07:15.53
that you find
at the Grand Canyon
00:07:15.56\00:07:17.30
and around the
world, the fossil record,
00:07:17.33\00:07:19.50
and the different creatures
that are entombed in these,
00:07:19.53\00:07:22.80
in the rocks and
various dating methods,
00:07:22.84\00:07:25.31
all of this was looked
at in "Darwin's Demise"
00:07:25.34\00:07:28.31
and the message of
this book is very clear,
00:07:28.34\00:07:31.28
and that is that evolution,
00:07:31.31\00:07:33.48
in spite of how
scientific it sounds,
00:07:33.52\00:07:36.35
it is really just a theory
00:07:36.38\00:07:38.49
that really has
no real scientific,
00:07:38.52\00:07:42.82
solid evidence for the idea.
00:07:42.86\00:07:47.10
You know, I know that may sound
absolutely ludicrous to you
00:07:47.13\00:07:51.23
if you are an evolutionist,
but if you are an evolutionist,
00:07:51.27\00:07:55.40
and if you have any interest,
this book "Darwin's Demise"
00:07:55.44\00:07:58.97
is extremely,
extremely compelling.
00:07:59.01\00:08:02.41
As I read the book, there
was one particular argument
00:08:02.44\00:08:05.31
that really, to me, it was,
00:08:05.35\00:08:09.15
it was just the
end of all arguments.
00:08:09.18\00:08:11.25
And it had to do--
00:08:11.29\00:08:12.92
with two words, two
words that are used in the book
00:08:12.95\00:08:16.56
and they are
'incomprehensible complexity'.
00:08:16.59\00:08:23.40
When you boil it
down and look closely
00:08:23.43\00:08:25.80
at the things of creation,
at the things of nature,
00:08:25.83\00:08:28.70
especially,
inside the human body,
00:08:28.74\00:08:30.51
and if you look
inside the human cell,
00:08:30.54\00:08:34.21
the words
'incomprehensible complexity'
00:08:34.24\00:08:38.41
definitely, definitely apply.
00:08:38.45\00:08:42.18
Modern evolution
00:08:42.22\00:08:44.95
is largely as a
result of the teaching
00:08:44.99\00:08:50.59
of one particular
individual, one man.
00:08:50.63\00:08:53.90
Now it's a conglomeration
of different people,
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.16
but I think we can
put the onus on one man,
00:08:56.20\00:08:59.93
his name is Charles Darwin.
00:08:59.97\00:09:01.70
Charles Darwin was
a British naturalist
00:09:01.74\00:09:04.44
born in 1809
and he died in 1882,
00:09:04.47\00:09:08.18
73-year-old man.
00:09:08.21\00:09:09.74
In the year 1859 his
book "Origin of Species,"
00:09:09.78\00:09:14.88
hit the press and began
to circulate around America
00:09:14.92\00:09:19.59
and around the world, at
that time, it wasn't really,
00:09:19.62\00:09:24.23
evolution was not
something that was really strong
00:09:24.26\00:09:27.50
in the scientific
community, but it was growing.
00:09:27.53\00:09:30.53
By the 1870s, Darwin's ideas
began to take more firm route.
00:09:30.57\00:09:35.77
By the 1930s to 1950s,
00:09:35.80\00:09:38.67
it was largely
accepted as just a fact of life
00:09:38.71\00:09:41.58
that yes, of course,
there was a big-bang,
00:09:41.61\00:09:43.24
yes, of course, we evolved,
00:09:43.28\00:09:44.61
yes, of course,
we came from monkeys,
00:09:44.65\00:09:46.38
and yes, of course,
the Bible is not true.
00:09:46.41\00:09:50.32
Now here's the biggest problem.
00:09:50.35\00:09:53.62
And if you read the
book "Darwin's Demise,"
00:09:53.66\00:09:55.39
it'll become very clear.
00:09:55.42\00:09:57.59
The biggest problem
is that in the 1850s
00:09:57.63\00:10:00.40
when Darwin's book was published
00:10:00.43\00:10:02.36
and when evolution
began to take a route
00:10:02.40\00:10:04.73
into the scientific community,
00:10:04.77\00:10:06.87
science was extremely
primitive in the 1800s.
00:10:06.90\00:10:12.27
You've heard the expression,
"We've come a long way, baby."
00:10:12.31\00:10:15.08
Well, nothing is truer
than when it comes to science.
00:10:15.11\00:10:18.41
In the 1850s,
scientists, especially Darwin,
00:10:18.45\00:10:23.52
he thought that the cell
was simply a very simple matter
00:10:23.55\00:10:29.96
that originally just again,
00:10:29.99\00:10:31.43
came from came
from mindless forces.
00:10:31.46\00:10:34.13
He said it came
together by chance
00:10:34.16\00:10:36.10
from a primordial
soup, a long, long time ago.
00:10:36.13\00:10:40.74
A man name Ernst Haeckel,
00:10:40.77\00:10:42.97
who popularized
Darwin's theories in Germany,
00:10:43.00\00:10:46.84
his view of the cell
was that it was quote
00:10:46.88\00:10:50.55
"a simple lump,"
that's all it was,
00:10:50.58\00:10:52.71
that's what he thought.
00:10:52.75\00:10:54.08
Well, the reality is that today
science has advanced a long way
00:10:54.12\00:11:00.06
from the 1840s and 50s,
60s, there are disciplines now,
00:11:00.09\00:11:05.19
like biology,
microbiology, molecular biology,
00:11:05.23\00:11:08.86
biochemistry, genetics,
and it goes on and on and on.
00:11:08.90\00:11:13.20
And as a result, especially,
00:11:13.23\00:11:14.67
of the development of
high tech microscopes,
00:11:14.70\00:11:18.51
scientists have been able
to look inside the human body.
00:11:18.54\00:11:21.41
And they had been
able to look closely
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.95
at the
composition of a human cell,
00:11:23.98\00:11:26.61
and keep in mind that
they are, scientists say,
00:11:26.65\00:11:29.38
somewhere between
50 and 100 trillion
00:11:29.42\00:11:33.25
of these little
guys inside of your body
00:11:33.29\00:11:35.66
and inside of mine.
00:11:35.69\00:11:37.03
We all have these little cells.
00:11:37.06\00:11:38.83
And as they look inside of cell,
00:11:38.86\00:11:41.06
they saw amazing things.
00:11:41.10\00:11:43.50
They've seen more than they can,
00:11:43.53\00:11:45.23
that they can even
really begin to comprehend,
00:11:45.27\00:11:48.00
the nucleus, the mitochondria,
00:11:48.04\00:11:50.27
all of the different
components of a cell,
00:11:50.31\00:11:53.14
it is absolutely,
really incredible.
00:11:53.17\00:11:56.44
Especially, something
inside the cell called DNA,
00:11:56.48\00:12:02.45
and there are untold numbers
of these little DNA strands
00:12:02.48\00:12:08.52
inside of the human body.
00:12:08.56\00:12:10.63
Here's a picture
in "Darwin's Demise"
00:12:10.66\00:12:12.76
showing the cell
00:12:12.79\00:12:14.13
and the different
parts inside of the cell,
00:12:14.16\00:12:17.27
and when it talks about the DNA,
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.03
this is just
absolutely incredible.
00:12:19.07\00:12:21.37
On page 25 of Darwin's Demise,
00:12:21.40\00:12:24.71
it says 'the
quantity of information
00:12:24.74\00:12:26.81
that can be stored in
a pinhead's volume of DNA
00:12:26.84\00:12:32.28
is equivalent to the pile--
00:12:32.31\00:12:33.92
to the content of a
pile of paperback books,
00:12:33.95\00:12:37.59
spanning the distance
from the earth to the moon
00:12:37.62\00:12:40.62
five hundred times,
00:12:40.66\00:12:42.32
each book being
unique from the other.
00:12:42.36\00:12:44.56
So in other words,
there is more information
00:12:44.59\00:12:46.83
in one little DNA strand
00:12:46.86\00:12:48.43
that can go up
and down to the moon
00:12:48.46\00:12:50.67
in five hundred books
00:12:50.70\00:12:52.33
or books up and
down five hundred times.
00:12:52.37\00:12:56.04
In other words, it's
practically incomprehensible.
00:12:56.07\00:12:58.44
There is incomprehensible data
00:12:58.47\00:13:01.01
and incomprehensible complexity
inside of one strand of the DNA
00:13:01.04\00:13:06.72
which is inside of your body.
00:13:06.75\00:13:09.68
As you continue to read
about this, in this book
00:13:09.72\00:13:11.59
it talks about the incredible
complexity of the human eye,
00:13:11.62\00:13:16.32
well, I've got two eyes
00:13:16.36\00:13:17.69
and I know I'm
getting a little bit up there
00:13:17.73\00:13:19.96
that's why I need
my glasses sometimes.
00:13:20.00\00:13:23.30
But it says here
that the eye can handle
00:13:23.33\00:13:26.23
1.5 million
simultaneous messages.
00:13:26.27\00:13:30.31
Simultaneous means
that all at the same time,
00:13:30.34\00:13:33.01
there's a million
things that can be going on
00:13:33.04\00:13:35.24
inside of my eye
at the same time.
00:13:35.28\00:13:37.91
It talks about the ear,
00:13:37.95\00:13:39.28
the heart, the liver, the brain.
00:13:39.31\00:13:40.98
The brain has 10
billion circuits,
00:13:41.02\00:13:45.45
any memory of, I
can't even count all these,
00:13:45.49\00:13:48.12
there's a one here
followed by 21 zeros.
00:13:48.16\00:13:52.83
21 zeros that's
how many circuits
00:13:52.86\00:13:55.63
and memory bits are
inside of the human brain.
00:13:55.66\00:13:59.40
The human brain with
its 12 billion brain cells
00:13:59.43\00:14:02.07
and 120 trillion connections
00:14:02.10\00:14:05.27
is the most complex arrangement
of matter in the universe.
00:14:05.31\00:14:10.91
This book builds a case that,
00:14:10.95\00:14:12.78
that the
incomprehensible complexity
00:14:12.81\00:14:15.25
that is inside the human body
00:14:15.28\00:14:16.62
and inside the things
that we see around us,
00:14:16.65\00:14:20.16
and there's just no way
that this could have evolved.
00:14:20.19\00:14:22.82
It's, kind of, like a tornado
passing through a junkyard
00:14:22.86\00:14:26.66
and creating a 747.
00:14:26.70\00:14:29.56
The whole idea that this--
00:14:29.60\00:14:30.93
all of this that,
just, we see around us,
00:14:30.97\00:14:33.20
all the complexity in the
sky, the heavens, the earth,
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.50
the sea, the human body,
the eye, the brain, the ears,
00:14:36.54\00:14:43.55
all of the
components that make up you,
00:14:43.58\00:14:45.95
that this is all just the result
00:14:45.98\00:14:47.78
of mindless forces
of chance and chaos,
00:14:47.82\00:14:51.89
you know, really, does that
really make any sense at all?
00:14:51.92\00:14:57.13
It doesn't make sense to
me. Now what does the Bible say?
00:14:57.16\00:15:00.00
Let's go back to what the
Bible says about our Creator.
00:15:00.03\00:15:04.10
And let's take a closer look
at who really is the Creator
00:15:04.13\00:15:07.47
according to the New Testament.
00:15:07.50\00:15:09.57
In Colossians Chapter
1 there's an amazing...
00:15:09.60\00:15:12.41
this is an amazing chapter,
gets me excited to read it.
00:15:12.44\00:15:17.05
Colossians 1:13 talks
about how God has delivered us
00:15:17.08\00:15:24.35
from the power of darkness,
and he has translated us
00:15:24.39\00:15:27.86
into the
kingdom of his dear Son.
00:15:27.89\00:15:30.73
Verse 14 talks about
how we have redemption
00:15:30.76\00:15:33.46
through his blood, even
the forgiveness of sins.
00:15:33.50\00:15:36.80
Now verse 16
00:15:36.83\00:15:39.00
is an amazing revelation
of who the son really is.
00:15:39.03\00:15:43.24
Verse 16 says, "For by
Him," referring to Jesus Christ,
00:15:43.27\00:15:47.48
"By Him were all things
created that are in heaven,
00:15:47.51\00:15:50.61
that are in the
earth, visible and invisible,
00:15:50.65\00:15:53.48
whether they be
thrones or dominions
00:15:53.52\00:15:55.35
or principalities or powers.
00:15:55.38\00:15:56.99
All things were
created by Him and for Him.
00:15:57.02\00:16:01.76
And He is before all things,
and by Him all things consist."
00:16:01.79\00:16:05.59
So verses 16 and 17
tell us that Jesus Christ,
00:16:05.63\00:16:10.30
according to the New Testament
00:16:10.33\00:16:12.33
really is the one,
a long, long time ago
00:16:12.37\00:16:15.37
in the very
beginning of the Bible,
00:16:15.40\00:16:17.07
in Genesis Chapter 1,
00:16:17.11\00:16:19.17
who made the
heavens and the earth.
00:16:19.21\00:16:21.48
And Jesus did not
originate in Bethlehem.
00:16:21.51\00:16:24.25
In Micah 5:2,
00:16:24.28\00:16:26.21
it says that the one
who was born in Bethlehem
00:16:26.25\00:16:28.15
had an origin that is of
old from the days of eternity,
00:16:28.18\00:16:32.29
from the days of everlasting.
00:16:32.32\00:16:34.36
John 1:10 tells us that,
when he came into the world,
00:16:34.39\00:16:38.16
"He was in the world, and
the world was made by Him,
00:16:38.19\00:16:41.96
but the world did not know Him."
00:16:42.00\00:16:43.37
The world had no idea
00:16:43.40\00:16:44.73
who was actually walking
the dusty shores of Galilee
00:16:44.77\00:16:48.60
and who walked across the water,
00:16:48.64\00:16:49.97
who preached in Jerusalem
00:16:50.01\00:16:51.87
and who
ultimately died on a cross.
00:16:51.91\00:16:53.58
They had no idea.
00:16:53.61\00:16:54.94
People had no idea
who they were looking at.
00:16:54.98\00:16:57.38
Going on, in
Colossians 1: 20, Paul says
00:16:57.41\00:17:03.12
that "Jesus made peace
through the blood of his cross
00:17:03.15\00:17:07.82
to reconcile all
things to Himself,
00:17:07.86\00:17:11.49
whether things
that are in heaven
00:17:11.53\00:17:13.09
or things that are on earth."
00:17:13.13\00:17:14.46
Verse 21 says, "And
you," "you that were sometimes
00:17:14.50\00:17:18.77
alienated and enemies in
your mind by wicked works,
00:17:18.80\00:17:22.80
yet now has he reconciled."
00:17:22.84\00:17:26.07
Verse 23 says,
00:17:26.11\00:17:27.44
"If you continue in the
faith grounded and settled,
00:17:27.48\00:17:31.28
and do not be moved away
from the hope of the gospel,
00:17:31.31\00:17:35.35
which you have heard,
and which was preached
00:17:35.38\00:17:37.09
to every creature
which is under heaven,
00:17:37.12\00:17:39.39
where of I, Paul,
am made a minister."
00:17:39.42\00:17:42.26
So Paul says that
Jesus is really our creator.
00:17:42.29\00:17:48.40
The one who died on
the cross to save us
00:17:48.43\00:17:51.83
is really the one who made us,
00:17:51.87\00:17:54.14
and we need to
hold on to this truth
00:17:54.17\00:17:56.47
and not let the
powers of darkness
00:17:56.50\00:17:58.87
take this truth away from us,
00:17:58.91\00:18:01.01
and we need to
remain grounded and settled
00:18:01.04\00:18:03.45
and not moved
away from the hope,
00:18:03.48\00:18:06.01
that is described in
the Bible, that tells us
00:18:06.05\00:18:08.78
really how we got
here and who our Savior is
00:18:08.82\00:18:12.45
and how to get out of this
life into a much better life
00:18:12.49\00:18:16.52
that we can't even,
we can't even comprehend.
00:18:16.56\00:18:20.13
Now going down to verse 27.
00:18:20.16\00:18:23.16
Verse 26 and 27 tells
us that this is a mystery,
00:18:23.20\00:18:27.80
"The mystery which has
been hidden from generations
00:18:27.84\00:18:30.17
and from the ages,
00:18:30.21\00:18:31.54
but is now made
manifest to the saints."
00:18:31.57\00:18:33.74
Verse 27 says, "To
whom God would make known
00:18:33.78\00:18:37.35
what is the riches of
the glory of this mystery
00:18:37.38\00:18:41.18
among the gentiles,
which is Christ in you,
00:18:41.22\00:18:45.02
the hope of glory."
00:18:45.05\00:18:46.76
So God calls this a mystery.
00:18:46.79\00:18:49.49
It's beyond human comprehension.
00:18:49.52\00:18:52.06
It's an incomprehensible mystery
00:18:52.09\00:18:54.70
and yet it's been
revealed to us in the Bible
00:18:54.73\00:18:56.93
that the one that made the earth
00:18:56.97\00:18:59.27
at the very, very beginning,
00:18:59.30\00:19:01.24
which we also find revealed
in the Ten Commandments,
00:19:01.27\00:19:04.47
is also, according
to the New Testament,
00:19:04.51\00:19:06.94
the one who came down here
and who sacrificed His life
00:19:06.98\00:19:11.71
on a cruel cross
for you and for me
00:19:11.75\00:19:14.32
so that our
sins can be forgiven,
00:19:14.35\00:19:16.12
so we could be
reunited with our Creator,
00:19:16.15\00:19:18.85
so that we can have
the gift of eternal life,
00:19:18.89\00:19:21.42
and we can be with Him forever
and ever and ever and ever.
00:19:21.46\00:19:25.26
That's what this book says.
00:19:25.29\00:19:26.70
And the Bible
calls this a mystery
00:19:26.73\00:19:28.76
that our Creator
is actually willing
00:19:28.80\00:19:31.60
to die on a cross
for us, forgive our sins
00:19:31.63\00:19:35.30
and then come into our
hearts so that Christ in you,
00:19:35.34\00:19:39.71
the hope of glory,
can be experienced,
00:19:39.74\00:19:42.68
that Jesus can
actually live inside of us
00:19:42.71\00:19:45.88
by the Holy Spirit.
00:19:45.91\00:19:47.52
Going back to the
Book of Revelation,
00:19:47.55\00:19:49.55
in chapter 10:7,
there's another amazing verse.
00:19:49.58\00:19:53.62
It talks about what God
is seeking to accomplish
00:19:53.66\00:19:55.99
in the final days of
this world's history.
00:19:56.02\00:19:58.99
Verse 7 it says,
00:19:59.03\00:20:00.50
"In the days of the
voice of the seventh angel,
00:20:00.53\00:20:02.86
when he shall begin to sound,
00:20:02.90\00:20:04.43
the mystery of God
should be finished,
00:20:04.47\00:20:07.64
as He has declared to
His servants, the prophets."
00:20:07.67\00:20:10.21
And that mystery is the
Creator in His creatures,
00:20:10.24\00:20:14.21
the Holy Spirit
bringing Jesus and His love
00:20:14.24\00:20:17.28
and His character into our heart
00:20:17.31\00:20:19.05
so that His
character and His love
00:20:19.08\00:20:20.95
and His goodness can
shine out through us.
00:20:20.98\00:20:25.42
Back to chapter 14.
00:20:25.45\00:20:27.66
Revelation 14
00:20:27.69\00:20:30.63
tells us the
amazing, the amazing message,
00:20:30.66\00:20:35.73
'How to get ready
for these last days.'
00:20:35.76\00:20:39.00
Revelation chapter 14 describes
Three Angles' Messages.
00:20:39.03\00:20:44.64
Three angels that
are sent from God,
00:20:44.67\00:20:46.61
from a holy God
to prepare a people
00:20:46.64\00:20:49.88
for the return of Jesus Christ.
00:20:49.91\00:20:53.31
At the heart of these messages,
is the first angel's message
00:20:53.35\00:20:58.29
that lifts up Jesus,
the everlasting Gospel,
00:20:58.32\00:21:02.19
we've been reading about this.
00:21:02.22\00:21:03.96
says that the message
of the everlasting gospel.
00:21:06.96\00:21:10.43
"The good news of
Jesus is to be preached
00:21:10.47\00:21:12.33
to those who
dwell upon the earth
00:21:12.37\00:21:13.70
to every nation,
kinder, tongue and people."
00:21:13.74\00:21:16.44
And then verse 7 at
the end of the verse.
00:21:16.47\00:21:18.84
It says, with a loud
voice we need to hear the call.
00:21:18.87\00:21:22.18
It says, "Worship Him
that made heaven and earth,
00:21:22.21\00:21:27.35
and the sea and the
fountains of waters."
00:21:27.38\00:21:30.85
Worship the one
who made everything.
00:21:30.89\00:21:35.96
In other words,
00:21:35.99\00:21:37.33
the Book of
Revelation appeals to us,
00:21:37.36\00:21:40.20
not to be duped by
evolutionary theory.
00:21:40.23\00:21:44.07
I have done some
research in the life of--
00:21:44.10\00:21:45.93
about the life of Charles Darwin
00:21:45.97\00:21:47.44
and Darwin
propagated his theories
00:21:47.47\00:21:49.64
when he was a young man.
00:21:49.67\00:21:51.41
But as he got older
and older and older,
00:21:51.44\00:21:53.94
he began to
question his own theories.
00:21:53.98\00:21:56.38
And he was known
to read the Bible
00:21:56.41\00:22:00.22
in the last days of
his life before he died.
00:22:00.25\00:22:03.05
He also made a
comment where he was--
00:22:03.08\00:22:05.15
he saw how his
theories had taken hold
00:22:05.19\00:22:07.32
in so many people's
lives and minds and he said,
00:22:07.36\00:22:10.56
"You know, I was
just sharing my theories
00:22:10.59\00:22:13.16
what I thought was right."
00:22:13.19\00:22:14.93
But as I mentioned before he--
00:22:14.96\00:22:18.07
Before he
breathed his last breathe
00:22:18.10\00:22:20.44
he started reading
the book and he called it
00:22:20.47\00:22:22.60
the royal book, the royal book,
00:22:22.64\00:22:24.91
God's book which
teaches creation not evolution.
00:22:24.94\00:22:31.71
First angel's
message in Revelation 14,
00:22:31.75\00:22:34.75
this contains a
very special call
00:22:34.78\00:22:36.85
in verse 7, "To worship him
that made heaven and earth."
00:22:36.89\00:22:39.49
It is a direct
challenge to evolution.
00:22:39.52\00:22:43.02
God does not want us to believe
that we came from monkeys.
00:22:43.06\00:22:45.66
God made you in His image.
00:22:45.69\00:22:47.86
It didn't start
with the big bang.
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.07
It didn't go down
from primordial soup.
00:22:50.10\00:22:52.90
There aren't mindless
forces that are out there,
00:22:52.93\00:22:56.67
that eventually put all
your trillion cells together
00:22:56.71\00:22:59.74
that made your-- that
put your brain together,
00:22:59.77\00:23:01.84
your liver, your
lungs, your heart,
00:23:01.88\00:23:04.11
your eyes, your
ears, all the complexity,
00:23:04.15\00:23:06.55
the incomprehensible complexity,
00:23:06.58\00:23:09.88
even one little DNA strand--
00:23:09.92\00:23:12.29
There's as much information
on a pinhead of a DNA strain
00:23:12.32\00:23:16.99
as could fill books stacked up
to the moon and down 500 times.
00:23:17.03\00:23:23.16
There is no way that
all of this just evolved.
00:23:23.20\00:23:27.24
We are not here by chance.
00:23:27.27\00:23:29.50
We are here as the
result of a marvelous God
00:23:29.54\00:23:32.21
who has a wonderful
plan for you and for me
00:23:32.24\00:23:35.78
and who gave His life
00:23:35.81\00:23:37.28
3,000 or
approximately 2,000 years ago
00:23:37.31\00:23:40.38
on a cruel cross
outside of Jerusalem.
00:23:40.42\00:23:43.82
I have a little
girl named Abigail.
00:23:43.85\00:23:46.79
We call her Abby.
00:23:46.82\00:23:48.16
Abigail Rose
Wohlberg, She is almost of five.
00:23:48.19\00:23:52.96
On her forth birthday party,
00:23:52.99\00:23:54.50
we got together
with some church friends,
00:23:54.53\00:23:56.06
and a few of her little friends,
00:23:56.10\00:23:58.53
and grandma and
grandpa were there,
00:23:58.57\00:24:00.34
we live in North
Idaho in our home.
00:24:00.37\00:24:02.30
And grandma and grandpa
got Abby a gigantic present
00:24:02.34\00:24:06.04
which was in a big box.
00:24:06.07\00:24:07.68
And she had no idea what it was,
00:24:07.71\00:24:09.18
it was the
biggest box in our house.
00:24:09.21\00:24:11.01
And when the time came finally
for her to open her presents,
00:24:11.05\00:24:13.55
she just couldn't wait
to get this big box open.
00:24:13.58\00:24:16.55
And so she started
ripping off the wrapping paper
00:24:16.58\00:24:21.02
and finally she looked
at the side of this box
00:24:21.06\00:24:24.89
and she saw what it was.
00:24:24.93\00:24:26.29
She saw a picture on the outside
00:24:26.33\00:24:28.30
of a big dollhouse.
00:24:28.33\00:24:29.73
My little girl
she just loves dolls.
00:24:29.76\00:24:32.43
And all confessed
that I Steve Wohlberg,
00:24:32.47\00:24:35.04
that I play with dolls too.
00:24:35.07\00:24:37.77
And the reason why I do
is because my little girl
00:24:37.81\00:24:39.37
grabs my hand and says,
00:24:39.41\00:24:40.74
"Daddy, will you play
with me and my dollhouse?"
00:24:40.78\00:24:42.64
I just can't resist,
I just can't resist her.
00:24:42.68\00:24:45.48
Well, anyway, she
looked at this package
00:24:45.51\00:24:47.68
and she saw this big dollhouse
and she was so excited,
00:24:47.72\00:24:50.39
she couldn't
believe it and then,
00:24:50.42\00:24:52.32
and then she looked
at grandma and grandpa
00:24:52.35\00:24:54.52
and we got this on--
00:24:54.56\00:24:55.99
We took a picture of
her face, it was amazing.
00:24:56.02\00:24:58.49
It was so touching.
00:24:58.53\00:24:59.86
She looked at
grandma and grandpa
00:24:59.89\00:25:01.23
with this stun look
on her face and she said,
00:25:01.26\00:25:04.43
"Grandma, grandpa."
00:25:04.47\00:25:06.47
She looked down, she
looked up, and she said,
00:25:06.50\00:25:09.40
"Is this really for me?"
00:25:09.44\00:25:12.31
"Is this really for me?"
00:25:12.34\00:25:14.44
And of course, they
looked at her and said,
00:25:14.48\00:25:15.81
"Yes, dear, of
course, it is for you.
00:25:15.84\00:25:18.08
It's all for you."
00:25:18.11\00:25:21.48
I think about that
little story and I can't help
00:25:21.52\00:25:23.85
but think about
my God becoming man
00:25:23.89\00:25:28.12
and giving His life on a cross,
00:25:28.16\00:25:29.92
the one that made me,
dying on a cross to save me.
00:25:29.96\00:25:34.30
And if you look at the
cross and think about the cross
00:25:34.33\00:25:36.87
and really understand
what the cross is all about,
00:25:36.90\00:25:39.27
that it's your
Creator who made you,
00:25:39.30\00:25:40.97
who made your brain,
your cells, your body,
00:25:41.00\00:25:43.54
who made everything
in this whole universe,
00:25:43.57\00:25:46.41
that He's the one that
gave His life on the cross
00:25:46.44\00:25:48.21
to pay the price for your
sins and to rise from the dead.
00:25:48.24\00:25:51.61
It's appropriate to say,
is all of this really for me?
00:25:51.65\00:25:56.79
And the answer is
'yes, it's for you.'
00:25:56.82\00:25:59.22
God so loved the
world, He so loved you
00:25:59.25\00:26:01.52
that He gave his
only begotten son
00:26:01.56\00:26:03.36
that whoever
would believe in Him
00:26:03.39\00:26:04.96
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
00:26:04.99\00:26:08.36
The Book of
Revelation chapter 14
00:26:08.40\00:26:10.43
has a special call to the world
00:26:10.47\00:26:11.97
before the
return of Jesus Christ.
00:26:12.00\00:26:14.07
In chapter 14:7,
00:26:14.10\00:26:16.04
the conclusion of what's called
the first angel's message says,
00:26:16.07\00:26:19.44
"Worship him that
made heaven and earth,
00:26:19.47\00:26:23.01
and the sea and the
fountains of waters."
00:26:23.04\00:26:26.05
Don't be duped by evolution.
You didn't come from a monkey.
00:26:26.08\00:26:29.28
You came from God, He loves you,
00:26:29.32\00:26:31.19
He died for you,
He's coming back for you.
00:26:31.22\00:26:33.32
That's what the Bible says,
00:26:33.36\00:26:35.02
you have just
heard His voice today.
