The book of Revelation predicts that some day 00:00:08.50\00:00:11.87 the Mark of the Beast will be enforced by Law around the world 00:00:11.91\00:00:16.38 get ready for the details on His Voice Today. 00:00:16.41\00:00:20.48 Welcome to another His Voice Today 00:00:20.52\00:00:26.05 with Steve Wohlberg. 00:00:26.09\00:00:30.99 The title of this power-packed message 00:00:31.03\00:00:34.03 is called: The Mark of the BEAST ENFORCED. 00:00:34.06\00:00:36.87 My goal is to share information with you 00:00:36.90\00:00:39.63 and what you do with that information... that is up to you 00:00:39.67\00:00:43.37 I don't know if you've watched my past presentations 00:00:43.41\00:00:47.64 but we've gone into detail about the beast 00:00:47.68\00:00:51.81 and about the Mark of the Beast 00:00:51.85\00:00:53.62 in other programs of His Voice Today 00:00:53.68\00:00:56.05 and if you've missed those programs, 00:00:56.08\00:00:58.39 because they have really built up and laid the foundation 00:00:58.42\00:01:01.09 for what we're going to do today... 00:01:01.12\00:01:02.46 if you've missed those programs, I encourage you to go to 00:01:02.49\00:01:07.20 YouTube. com forward slash whitehorse media and catch up 00:01:07.23\00:01:12.07 but anyway here we go... 00:01:12.13\00:01:14.07 it's time to talk about 00:01:14.10\00:01:15.97 the enforcement of the Mark of the Beast. 00:01:16.00\00:01:17.37 In Revelation chapter 13 verse 16 the Bible predicts, 00:01:17.41\00:01:23.04 "And he causes all... " "cause" implies force 00:01:23.08\00:01:27.62 "He causes all, both small and great, 00:01:27.65\00:01:29.52 rich and poor, free and bond, 00:01:29.58\00:01:30.92 to receive a mark in their right hand, 00:01:30.95\00:01:33.05 or in their foreheads: 00:01:33.12\00:01:34.69 And that no man might buy or sell, 00:01:34.72\00:01:36.89 save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, 00:01:36.93\00:01:40.43 or the number of his name. " 00:01:40.46\00:01:42.66 Now, first of all, I'll just quickly recap 00:01:42.70\00:01:46.63 what we've talked about in the past 00:01:46.67\00:01:48.17 about who the "beast" is in Bible prophecy 00:01:48.20\00:01:51.77 if you were to go back to the 1500s 00:01:51.81\00:01:53.71 and talked to the Protestant Reformers 00:01:53.74\00:01:55.54 and they were unanimous on who the beast is 00:01:55.58\00:01:58.11 I've got in my library... and here in my hand... 00:01:58.15\00:02:01.42 a copy of Fox's Book of Martyrs 00:02:01.45\00:02:04.62 this is an ancient classic 00:02:04.65\00:02:07.62 dealing with the Christian martyrs and the persecutions 00:02:07.66\00:02:10.19 and inquisition and on page 43 of this book, 00:02:10.23\00:02:14.46 it tells us who the Protestants believed that the "beast" was. 00:02:14.50\00:02:18.77 Page 43 says, "Disregarding the maxims 00:02:18.80\00:02:22.54 and the spirit of the gospel, the Papal Church 00:02:22.57\00:02:25.74 arming herself with the power of the sword 00:02:25.77\00:02:28.88 persecuted the church of God 00:02:28.91\00:02:30.98 and wasted it for several centuries 00:02:31.01\00:02:32.95 a period, most appropriately termed in history, 00:02:32.98\00:02:35.82 The Dark Ages... " 00:02:35.85\00:02:37.19 and then it says that the kings of the earth 00:02:37.22\00:02:39.49 gave their power and their strength to the beast. 00:02:39.52\00:02:43.93 So this is Fox's Book of Martyrs 00:02:43.96\00:02:46.29 it used to be next to the bedsides of 00:02:46.36\00:02:49.16 the Puritans and the Pilgrims who came across the Atlantic 00:02:49.20\00:02:52.57 from England and from Holland 00:02:52.60\00:02:55.64 coming to establish colonies to help establish America, 00:02:55.67\00:02:59.27 this book was a classic and they read it 00:02:59.31\00:03:01.44 and they knew... they knew who the beast was. 00:03:01.48\00:03:03.91 Now, the Bible also says that the beast will have a mark, 00:03:03.95\00:03:07.92 it will have a mark that will be enforced 00:03:07.95\00:03:10.79 and I mentioned this in the last program. 00:03:10.82\00:03:12.95 This is a copy of a Roman Catholic Catechism 00:03:12.99\00:03:15.82 by Pierre Geiermann published in 1946 00:03:15.86\00:03:19.56 and it comes right out openly and it says, question: 00:03:19.59\00:03:21.96 What day is the Sabbath day? 00:03:22.00\00:03:23.37 Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day. 00:03:23.40\00:03:26.10 Question: Why then do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? 00:03:26.13\00:03:28.80 The answer is: Because the Catholic Church 00:03:28.84\00:03:32.04 transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. 00:03:32.07\00:03:36.85 So, here's Fox's Book of Martyrs identifying the beast 00:03:36.88\00:03:39.75 which was really a System... it's not individuals... 00:03:39.78\00:03:42.62 it's a System... called the Roman Church 00:03:42.65\00:03:45.82 which has done a lot of things in history 00:03:45.85\00:03:48.99 that fulfills prophecy... 00:03:49.02\00:03:50.43 and that's what the Protestants believed, 00:03:50.46\00:03:51.79 and here is the Roman Church's Catechism 00:03:51.83\00:03:54.40 that says that they changed the Sabbath into Sunday 00:03:54.43\00:03:57.73 and they actually see Sunday Observance 00:03:57.77\00:04:01.30 as a mark of their authority as the true church. 00:04:01.34\00:04:06.47 Now, I know that's shocking but these are historical facts 00:04:06.51\00:04:11.95 and when we go back to Revelation chapter 14 00:04:12.01\00:04:15.82 verses 9 to 12... 00:04:15.85\00:04:17.19 we have a warning about the Mark of the Beast 00:04:17.22\00:04:19.19 and at the end of verse 11 00:04:19.22\00:04:22.52 we have a warning about those who receive the mark 00:04:22.56\00:04:25.39 and then verse 12 says, 00:04:25.43\00:04:26.76 "Here is the patience of the saints; 00:04:26.80\00:04:28.13 here are they that keep the commandments of God 00:04:28.16\00:04:30.80 and the faith of Jesus. " 00:04:30.83\00:04:32.73 And so, here are the Ten Commandments... 00:04:32.77\00:04:34.97 here's one of the tables of stone 00:04:35.00\00:04:37.74 and Revelation talks about the beast 00:04:37.77\00:04:40.44 and that it would have a mark and then in verse 12 it says, 00:04:40.48\00:04:43.45 "to avoid the mark is to be among the people... 00:04:43.48\00:04:46.55 the saints who keep 00:04:46.58\00:04:47.92 God's Commandments and the faith of Jesus... " 00:04:47.95\00:04:50.62 and verse 7... in the same chapter it says that 00:04:50.65\00:04:53.46 we need to worship Him that made heaven and earth 00:04:53.49\00:04:56.29 and the sea and the fountains of waters, 00:04:56.32\00:04:57.66 and the fact is... when we look at the Ten Commandments, 00:04:57.69\00:05:00.00 there's only one Commandment 00:05:00.03\00:05:01.50 that talks about the Creator of heaven and earth 00:05:01.56\00:05:04.57 one of the big ten... and it's number four... 00:05:04.60\00:05:07.60 which identifies the 7th-day Sabbath 00:05:07.64\00:05:10.44 as God's special day, and that is the Commandment 00:05:10.47\00:05:13.68 that the Roman church 00:05:13.71\00:05:15.04 which Protestants have believed for a long time... 00:05:15.08\00:05:17.25 is the beast of prophecy... 00:05:17.28\00:05:18.85 has changed and they claim it is a mark 00:05:18.88\00:05:23.39 of their authority in religious matters. 00:05:23.42\00:05:27.86 Now, if all of this is true, if this information is correct, 00:05:27.89\00:05:32.03 and I don't expect you to take my word for it... for anything 00:05:32.06\00:05:35.83 and I'm not here to condemn anybody but to share information 00:05:35.86\00:05:39.63 and you can do with it whatever you choose 00:05:39.67\00:05:42.47 but if this is all true that the beast is the Roman Church, 00:05:42.50\00:05:47.34 and that its mark is its change of God's holy day 00:05:47.38\00:05:52.05 into the first day of the week, 00:05:52.08\00:05:53.58 then when the Bible says, 00:05:53.62\00:05:54.95 "He causes all, both small and great, 00:05:54.98\00:05:56.79 rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark... " 00:05:56.85\00:05:58.75 we can expect that at some point in history 00:05:58.79\00:06:01.82 during the final crisis that Sunday observance 00:06:01.86\00:06:04.33 will be enforced by Law around the world. 00:06:04.36\00:06:08.13 Now, is this possible, is this just some crazy idea 00:06:08.16\00:06:11.97 or is it something that can actually really happen 00:06:12.00\00:06:15.80 in America and around the world? 00:06:15.84\00:06:17.87 Well, let's discuss this, it is a fact of history 00:06:17.91\00:06:21.14 that Sunday has been legislated 00:06:21.18\00:06:24.28 for hundreds of years in the past 00:06:24.31\00:06:27.35 the first Sunday Law was passed in the year 321 00:06:27.38\00:06:31.75 by the Emperor of Rome, Constantine on March... 00:06:31.79\00:06:35.82 I've got the date right... March 21... 321 A.D. 00:06:35.86\00:06:39.53 it's a historical event, it's in the history books 00:06:39.56\00:06:43.13 and that was basically the first time 00:06:43.16\00:06:45.87 that Sunday had ever been enforced by legislation, 00:06:45.90\00:06:48.60 if we go down European history, if we go into British history, 00:06:48.67\00:06:53.21 and into Colonial American history, 00:06:53.24\00:06:55.84 you'll find that Sunday has been enforced in various degrees, 00:06:55.88\00:06:59.28 those Laws used to be called, "Blue Laws" 00:06:59.31\00:07:02.08 I've got a book right here called, 00:07:02.12\00:07:04.45 "Dateline: Sunday, U.S.A." written by an Attorney, 00:07:04.49\00:07:06.72 Warren Johns and the subtitle says, 00:07:06.76\00:07:09.49 "This is the story of three and half centuries 00:07:09.52\00:07:12.39 of Sunday Law Battles in America 00:07:12.43\00:07:14.43 and this talks about the Court records and the struggles 00:07:14.46\00:07:16.97 between... whether Sunday should be enforced by Law 00:07:17.00\00:07:19.43 or whether this was constitutional or not... 00:07:19.47\00:07:21.40 it talks about the Blair Sunday Bill 00:07:21.44\00:07:24.74 that was introduced into Congress in the year 1888 00:07:24.77\00:07:27.38 seeking National Sunday Legislation 00:07:27.41\00:07:29.31 and how it was defeated, the facts of history are here. 00:07:29.34\00:07:33.21 Did you know that George Washington 00:07:33.25\00:07:35.02 was almost thrown in jail 00:07:35.05\00:07:36.75 because he kissed his wife on a Sunday, 00:07:36.79\00:07:38.89 the Blue Laws were very strict 00:07:38.95\00:07:41.22 back in the days of early Colonial America 00:07:41.26\00:07:44.19 but they've be loosened now 00:07:44.23\00:07:46.80 and so now we don't have those kinds of laws 00:07:46.86\00:07:48.96 but there are... there are many, 00:07:49.00\00:07:51.63 there are forces, there are churches, 00:07:51.67\00:07:53.17 that are Organizations that are very active at this very moment 00:07:53.20\00:07:57.74 that would like to see those old Blue Laws kick back in 00:07:57.77\00:08:01.61 so that Sunday could be once again legislated by Law, 00:08:01.64\00:08:05.48 here I have a copy of the 00:08:05.51\00:08:07.52 large official catechism of the Roman Church 00:08:07.55\00:08:10.19 published in 1994, 00:08:10.22\00:08:11.55 this is their big book of their doctrines, 00:08:11.59\00:08:13.15 and on page 538, this book comes out very, very clearly 00:08:13.19\00:08:18.39 in support of Sunday legislation they believe in it, 00:08:18.43\00:08:23.63 they encourage their members to seek it, 00:08:23.67\00:08:27.20 actually, I'm sorry, it's 528... it says that public authorities 00:08:27.24\00:08:32.14 should ensure citizens a time intended for rest 00:08:32.17\00:08:35.28 and divine worship, 00:08:35.31\00:08:36.64 Christians should seek recognition of Sundays 00:08:36.68\00:08:39.91 as legal holiday... so the church... 00:08:39.95\00:08:42.55 the Catholic Church has gone on record of wanting this 00:08:42.58\00:08:45.85 many Popes have gone on record wanting this, 00:08:45.89\00:08:49.19 there's a whole Organization... an Alliance in Europe 00:08:49.22\00:08:51.73 called the, "European Sunday Alliance" 00:08:51.76\00:08:54.10 that seeking for Sunday Legislation 00:08:54.13\00:08:56.36 but at this point... it's never happened on a national 00:08:56.40\00:09:00.37 or specially not on a global scale. 00:09:00.44\00:09:02.94 Is something like this actually possible? 00:09:02.97\00:09:06.71 Let me share with you some very volatile and serious information 00:09:06.74\00:09:16.25 let's go back a few years 00:09:16.28\00:09:19.19 to the day that the towers came down, 00:09:19.22\00:09:21.19 September 11, 2001, 00:09:21.22\00:09:24.49 I remember where I was when that time hit, 00:09:24.53\00:09:26.90 I was in Texas... my phone rang, it was a friend of mine, 00:09:26.96\00:09:29.23 and he said, "Steve, you've got to turn on your TV... " 00:09:29.26\00:09:31.53 and I did... and I was shocked to see 00:09:31.57\00:09:33.97 one of the twin towers burning 00:09:34.00\00:09:35.50 right in front of my eyes on live television 00:09:35.54\00:09:37.41 and then I was shocked to see 00:09:37.44\00:09:38.84 another plane hit the second tower 00:09:38.87\00:09:40.71 and then the second tower was burning... 00:09:40.74\00:09:42.44 and then I saw the first tower go down 00:09:42.51\00:09:44.25 and then I saw the second tower go down, 00:09:44.28\00:09:46.21 and along with millions of Americans 00:09:46.25\00:09:47.78 and people around the world, 00:09:47.82\00:09:49.15 I watched those images over and over again 00:09:49.18\00:09:51.25 and I had a very strong sense that something big was happening 00:09:51.29\00:09:56.73 that something apocalyptic was going on 00:09:56.76\00:09:58.96 and that I needed to really sit up and take notice 00:09:58.99\00:10:03.70 and, of course, pray for the families... 00:10:03.73\00:10:07.30 of the victims... which I did... 00:10:07.34\00:10:09.54 now, let me tie this in with prophecy, 00:10:09.60\00:10:12.64 I strongly believe that there is a deep lesson for us 00:10:12.67\00:10:15.88 and a significance of what happened during the week of 911 00:10:15.94\00:10:19.21 if you recall... the date September 11, 2001 00:10:19.25\00:10:23.28 took place on a Tuesday... 00:10:23.32\00:10:25.02 on a Tuesday... don't forget that. 00:10:25.05\00:10:26.92 Three days later there was a 00:10:26.96\00:10:29.06 big church service in Washington, D.C. 00:10:29.09\00:10:32.03 in the National Cathedral and it was a church service 00:10:32.06\00:10:35.53 where lots of different politicians, congressmen, 00:10:35.56\00:10:38.97 senators, presidents, they were all there, 00:10:39.00\00:10:41.57 and anyone who really was anybody in America 00:10:41.60\00:10:44.11 as far as Washington Leadership, they were at that... 00:10:44.14\00:10:48.11 at that church service and it was really a... 00:10:48.14\00:10:50.61 it was a prayer meeting, Billy Graham was there 00:10:50.65\00:10:52.41 representing the Protestant world, 00:10:52.45\00:10:53.78 there was a Rabbi there representing the Jewish world, 00:10:53.82\00:10:56.08 there was an Imam representing the Muslim world, 00:10:56.15\00:10:59.52 there was a Cardinal representing 00:10:59.55\00:11:01.82 the Roman Catholic church and one by one, 00:11:01.86\00:11:04.49 these different leaders, gave speeches 00:11:04.53\00:11:07.13 and they encouraged people to come together 00:11:07.16\00:11:09.63 into unity and to pray because the crisis was very real, 00:11:09.66\00:11:14.30 when you hit the financial center 00:11:14.34\00:11:16.81 of the most powerful, political nation in the world, 00:11:16.87\00:11:20.71 the potential for a ripple effect 00:11:20.74\00:11:23.08 to affect the global... global economy... 00:11:23.11\00:11:25.48 was very, very real and so, 00:11:25.51\00:11:28.55 on the Friday following the Tuesday 911, 00:11:28.58\00:11:31.25 people came together from different religions to pray 00:11:31.29\00:11:34.32 and I'm certainly not against praying in a crisis... 00:11:34.36\00:11:37.36 we need to pray now and all the time, 00:11:37.39\00:11:40.33 specially in the days ahead but anyway that was on Friday, 00:11:40.36\00:11:44.73 so you had crisis... Tuesday... a move for unity on Friday... 00:11:44.77\00:11:49.10 what happened two days later? 00:11:49.14\00:11:51.64 Two days later was a Sunday 00:11:51.67\00:11:54.01 and I want to tell you that the following... 00:11:54.04\00:11:55.88 that on the Sunday following September 11, 00:11:55.91\00:11:58.28 church attendance went through the roof, 00:11:58.31\00:12:00.98 not just in America but Europe, Australia, 00:12:01.02\00:12:03.62 around the world... people were going to church, 00:12:03.65\00:12:06.65 like they had never gone to church before 00:12:06.69\00:12:08.89 and what is the reason for that? 00:12:08.92\00:12:11.09 The reason is simple, like I said, 00:12:11.13\00:12:13.09 when you hit the financial nerve center 00:12:13.13\00:12:15.33 of the world's largest and most powerful economy, 00:12:15.36\00:12:19.63 the potential for a disastrous ripple effect 00:12:19.67\00:12:25.84 to bring down the economies of the world... 00:12:25.87\00:12:27.21 is very, very real, and so... 00:12:27.24\00:12:29.38 and people were scared, people were scared, 00:12:29.41\00:12:31.58 they knew something serious was going on, 00:12:31.61\00:12:33.72 trading stopped on the New York Stock Exchange 00:12:33.75\00:12:36.72 and people were just in a state of panic, 00:12:36.75\00:12:39.42 what is going on, what is going to happen? 00:12:39.45\00:12:42.09 now, again, think of the sequence, 00:12:42.12\00:12:43.89 Tuesday was a crisis, Friday... was a move for unity, 00:12:43.93\00:12:48.86 and then... Sunday... 00:12:48.90\00:12:50.23 church attendance went through the roof, 00:12:50.27\00:12:52.63 so, here is the sequence, crisis, unity, Sunday... 00:12:52.70\00:12:58.47 crisis, unity, Sunday... 00:12:58.51\00:13:01.08 now, thankfully, what happened over ten years ago 00:13:01.11\00:13:05.31 during the week and following weeks, 00:13:05.35\00:13:08.72 after September 11... it did not continue to unravel 00:13:08.75\00:13:12.95 into a real, desperate global crisis, 00:13:12.99\00:13:18.56 it didn't happen... 00:13:18.59\00:13:19.93 I think that the angels held back the forces of darkness... 00:13:19.96\00:13:24.07 held back the forces of total chaos, 00:13:24.10\00:13:26.50 God is still holding on to His world, somehow, 00:13:26.53\00:13:29.30 but it didn't really completely unravel... 00:13:29.34\00:13:32.31 and so the crisis eventually went away 00:13:32.37\00:13:35.31 and then Stock Exchange went back 00:13:35.34\00:13:38.08 and there has been somewhat of a recovery, 00:13:38.11\00:13:41.28 but the Bible predicts that some day in the future, 00:13:41.32\00:13:45.72 we are going to hit a crisis 00:13:45.75\00:13:47.09 that we are not going to get out of. 00:13:47.12\00:13:48.46 Daniel chapter 12 verse 1 00:13:48.49\00:13:49.86 says that there will be a time of trouble, 00:13:49.89\00:13:52.13 such as never was since there was a Nation 00:13:52.16\00:13:54.03 even to that same time... 00:13:54.06\00:13:55.40 what is going to precipitate that crisis... 00:13:55.43\00:13:58.30 what will be the catalyst of that crisis... I don't know... 00:13:58.33\00:14:01.07 I don't know whether it might be another terrorist attack 00:14:01.10\00:14:04.01 whether it might be a whole series of natural disasters, 00:14:04.04\00:14:07.41 whether it might be some kind of an economic meltdown, 00:14:07.44\00:14:10.78 I just don't know... I'm not a prophet, 00:14:10.81\00:14:13.31 but I do know according to the Bible 00:14:13.38\00:14:15.85 that we are going to enter in at some point 00:14:15.88\00:14:18.82 and it's going to happen very quickly when it finally hits, 00:14:18.85\00:14:21.86 into the final crisis at the end of the history of this world 00:14:21.89\00:14:24.86 and when that crisis hits, 00:14:24.89\00:14:28.26 I can guarantee you... you can bet your bottom dollar 00:14:28.33\00:14:32.40 and you may not have a lot of money, 00:14:32.43\00:14:34.60 but you can... you get my point... 00:14:34.67\00:14:36.81 you can bet your bottom dollar that what happened 00:14:36.84\00:14:39.64 during the week of September 11, 2001, 00:14:39.67\00:14:43.68 will happen again... 00:14:43.71\00:14:45.45 and it's just because of human nature, 00:14:45.48\00:14:47.02 have you ever heard the expression? 00:14:47.05\00:14:48.55 Many people have said, 00:14:48.58\00:14:50.09 "there are no Atheists in fox holes" 00:14:50.15\00:14:51.89 it's true... when people come face to face with crisis, 00:14:51.92\00:14:56.22 with death... with disaster, 00:14:56.26\00:14:58.16 they... they often drop to their knees 00:14:58.19\00:15:01.53 or at least they open their mouths and they pray 00:15:01.56\00:15:04.53 and then they go to church which is what most people do, 00:15:04.57\00:15:08.07 when they are in a crisis, or at least a lot of people 00:15:08.10\00:15:11.54 and so, think about human nature, 00:15:11.57\00:15:13.98 what happened during the week of September 11 00:15:14.01\00:15:16.58 will happen again, 00:15:16.61\00:15:18.01 all we need is a big enough crisis, 00:15:18.08\00:15:19.75 to bring about the same sequence of events 00:15:19.78\00:15:22.42 there'll be a crisis, 00:15:22.45\00:15:23.85 then there'll be a move toward unity, 00:15:23.89\00:15:26.62 coming together of the world's religions 00:15:26.65\00:15:29.96 combined with Governments, a move for unity 00:15:30.03\00:15:32.79 and that will be followed, I can guarantee you 00:15:32.83\00:15:37.50 it will be followed by people flocking to church 00:15:37.53\00:15:42.14 not on Saturday and not on Friday... 00:15:42.17\00:15:45.54 but the majority of the world 00:15:45.57\00:15:47.51 are going to be going to church on Sunday 00:15:47.58\00:15:49.78 because that is the biggest day on the planet 00:15:49.81\00:15:51.98 for worship... it really is. 00:15:52.01\00:15:54.88 So, we're going to see again crisis, unity, Sunday... 00:15:54.92\00:15:59.92 and if the crisis doesn't resolve itself, 00:15:59.95\00:16:05.39 like it did... so many years ago, 00:16:05.43\00:16:07.76 if the crisis deepens... if it gets worse... 00:16:07.80\00:16:10.80 if people get desperate... then what's going to happen 00:16:10.83\00:16:14.87 is Sunday attendance will eventually shift 00:16:14.90\00:16:18.44 to the next... the next phase... 00:16:18.47\00:16:21.01 and the next phase will be Sunday Legislation 00:16:21.04\00:16:25.28 in an hour of desperation, 00:16:25.31\00:16:28.12 to try to force... in a final crisis, 00:16:28.15\00:16:32.49 to force humanity to come back to God 00:16:32.55\00:16:36.83 and to pray to God for the survival of the planet 00:16:36.86\00:16:41.73 and of the economy and of the world's systems. 00:16:41.76\00:16:46.57 That's what's going to happen, 00:16:46.60\00:16:49.10 it's that is what is going to happen 00:16:49.14\00:16:51.71 and as I mentioned the Roman Church, 00:16:51.74\00:16:54.28 they are pushing for Sunday Legislation in Europe 00:16:54.31\00:16:59.35 the European Sunday Alliance 00:16:59.38\00:17:00.98 is pushing for Sunday Legislation 00:17:01.02\00:17:03.79 and when we hit a crisis, if people are going to church, 00:17:03.82\00:17:08.22 but the crisis gets worse, then we're going to see laws 00:17:08.29\00:17:12.66 that are going to kick in 00:17:12.69\00:17:14.03 as a last-ditch effort to try to solve the problem 00:17:14.06\00:17:19.60 to force people to pray. 00:17:19.63\00:17:21.47 When that time comes... when that time comes 00:17:21.50\00:17:25.61 you may not believe right now that that time is going to come 00:17:25.64\00:17:29.34 I don't know when you're watching this, 00:17:29.41\00:17:31.71 you might be watching this in the middle of the crisis 00:17:31.75\00:17:34.28 and it may be happening right now, 00:17:34.32\00:17:35.65 if it is... then you know this message is right on target, 00:17:35.68\00:17:39.62 if you are watching before it happens, 00:17:39.65\00:17:43.43 and if you're not sure when this is really going to happen, 00:17:43.46\00:17:46.33 just ponder all of this in your heart 00:17:46.36\00:17:49.06 and study your Bibles to see what's right... 00:17:49.10\00:17:52.27 what's really right... 00:17:52.30\00:17:53.64 I strongly believe... I'm honest about this belief, 00:17:53.67\00:17:57.44 I've studied my Bible for years and years and years, 00:17:57.51\00:18:01.04 I've looked at the theories... I know what other people say, 00:18:01.08\00:18:03.85 I've seen some of the movies about the Mark of the Beast, 00:18:03.91\00:18:06.65 the novels, the internet websites, 00:18:06.68\00:18:09.32 the radio preachers... the TV preachers... 00:18:09.35\00:18:11.32 that say that the whole thing is just really a technology issue 00:18:11.35\00:18:15.56 a technology issue, but that's not what I read 00:18:15.62\00:18:19.09 in my Bible... let's go back to Revelation 14 00:18:19.13\00:18:22.60 verse 9... Revelation 14:9 says, 00:18:22.63\00:18:25.57 "Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, 00:18:25.60\00:18:28.37 'If any man worships the beast'" 00:18:28.40\00:18:30.87 and the beast is... 00:18:30.91\00:18:33.38 who the Protestants used to believe it was... 00:18:33.41\00:18:36.41 they've lost this knowledge 00:18:36.44\00:18:38.11 but that knowledge needs to be resurrected, 00:18:38.15\00:18:41.28 and I certainly... I'm not saying that 00:18:41.32\00:18:43.15 every single person within the church of Rome, 00:18:43.18\00:18:47.29 is "beastly... " you know, that's just not true at all, 00:18:47.32\00:18:50.69 I believe there is going to be a lot of sincere Roman Catholics 00:18:50.73\00:18:53.40 that are going to be in the Kingdom of God, 00:18:53.43\00:18:54.76 I believe that... 00:18:54.80\00:18:56.13 because God is a loving God and a merciful God 00:18:56.16\00:18:58.00 and He judges us based upon the light that we have, 00:18:58.03\00:19:00.34 but it is a fact of history that for 300 years 00:19:00.37\00:19:03.64 Protestant scholars from Luther to Wesley to Calvin 00:19:03.67\00:19:06.68 to Jerome, to Spurgeon, to Huss... 00:19:06.71\00:19:09.18 they all believed that the beast was 00:19:09.21\00:19:12.05 a symbol of the Roman Church System... 00:19:12.11\00:19:14.92 and the Bible warns... 00:19:14.95\00:19:17.25 "If anyone worships the beast and his image, 00:19:17.29\00:19:19.69 and receives his mark... " the mark comes from Rome... 00:19:19.72\00:19:22.59 it's a mark of Rome's authority in the forehead 00:19:22.62\00:19:26.19 which does not represent the skin or an implant 00:19:26.23\00:19:29.20 but it represents the mind... inside the mind... 00:19:29.23\00:19:32.17 what people think... "or the hand... " 00:19:32.20\00:19:34.70 which represents the actions... what people choose to do 00:19:34.74\00:19:37.84 "the same shall drink the wine of the wrath of God... " 00:19:37.87\00:19:40.94 it's a very serious warning... 00:19:40.98\00:19:42.31 and then verse 11 continues on with the warning 00:19:42.34\00:19:44.51 of what will happen to those who get the mark 00:19:44.55\00:19:46.88 and at the end of verse 11, it talks about 00:19:46.92\00:19:49.18 what will happen to "whoever receives the mark of his name" 00:19:49.25\00:19:53.69 and then verse 12 says, 00:19:53.72\00:19:55.99 "Here is the patience of the saints: 00:19:56.02\00:19:57.96 here are they that keep the commandments of God, 00:19:57.99\00:20:03.06 and the faith of Jesus. " 00:20:03.10\00:20:06.53 The third angel's message points to the safety zone. 00:20:06.57\00:20:10.27 During the Mark of the Beast crisis, the Bible says, 00:20:10.31\00:20:13.91 the Bible says that the safety zone is becoming a saint, 00:20:13.94\00:20:18.08 it's becoming a person who chooses to keep 00:20:18.11\00:20:22.62 the Commandments of God as God gave them 00:20:22.68\00:20:27.16 and the faith... it says, 00:20:27.19\00:20:29.22 the faith of Jesus... Jesus is mentioned in... 00:20:29.26\00:20:33.96 it's the last word in verse 12, and then there's the period... 00:20:34.00\00:20:37.10 Jesus... now some people say, 00:20:37.13\00:20:38.63 "We don't need the law because we just have Jesus... " 00:20:38.67\00:20:41.54 but the Bible says that we need to be followers of Jesus 00:20:41.60\00:20:44.41 and because we love Jesus and believe in Jesus 00:20:44.47\00:20:47.48 and accept His grace and His salvation 00:20:47.51\00:20:50.18 through His power... we're born again... 00:20:50.21\00:20:52.81 and then we choose to keep the commandments of God 00:20:52.85\00:20:55.55 we don't keep God's law in order to be saved, 00:20:55.58\00:20:59.75 we keep God's law because we have Jesus in our hearts 00:20:59.79\00:21:03.09 and we love Him and we want to do what's right 00:21:03.12\00:21:05.56 and that's what the Bible says, 00:21:05.59\00:21:07.73 Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments. " 00:21:07.76\00:21:10.57 So these are the issues that the book of Revelation reveals 00:21:10.60\00:21:14.44 and what's going to happen is, once the crisis hits... 00:21:14.47\00:21:16.91 the final crisis... and there's a move toward unity 00:21:16.94\00:21:19.21 and then, people are going to church on Sunday 00:21:19.27\00:21:22.51 and the crisis deepens and finally 00:21:22.54\00:21:24.51 Sunday attendance shifts into Sunday Legislation 00:21:24.58\00:21:28.38 and that time... the message of the third angel 00:21:28.45\00:21:32.19 is going to go out around the world... with a loud voice 00:21:32.25\00:21:36.02 through ministries like, "White Horse Media" 00:21:36.06\00:21:39.46 and through many other ministries 00:21:39.49\00:21:41.13 that are going to be faithful to God, 00:21:41.16\00:21:42.76 doing the best they can and by the power of the Holy Spirit 00:21:42.80\00:21:46.47 they're going to be giving God's last message to the world 00:21:46.50\00:21:49.94 and then, as the Ten Commandments are lifted up, 00:21:50.01\00:21:52.74 just like I'm trying to do right now, 00:21:52.77\00:21:54.94 the Ten Commandments will be lifted up 00:21:54.98\00:21:57.11 people will have a chance... all around the world 00:21:57.15\00:21:59.38 to look at the big ten... to go down one, two, three, four 00:21:59.41\00:22:02.68 "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy... " 00:22:02.72\00:22:04.99 and they'll be told two things, they'll be told that 00:22:05.02\00:22:08.06 Sunday Legislation is wrong because number one... 00:22:08.09\00:22:11.09 it's the wrong day... 00:22:11.13\00:22:12.46 and number two... it involves force... 00:22:12.49\00:22:16.03 God never forces people to love Him... 00:22:16.06\00:22:19.67 or to follow Him or to obey Him, 00:22:19.70\00:22:21.67 He always gives us free will to make a choice 00:22:21.70\00:22:24.84 as the Holy Spirit speaks to our conscience. 00:22:24.87\00:22:28.58 So, the world will have to make a final choice, 00:22:28.61\00:22:32.28 the Ten Commandments will be lifted up 00:22:32.31\00:22:33.72 and as God's Law is lifted up 00:22:33.75\00:22:35.58 and people realize what they really say, 00:22:35.62\00:22:37.79 what the real day is... 00:22:37.85\00:22:39.52 the seventh-day Sabbath that points to Jesus Christ 00:22:39.55\00:22:41.62 as the creator of heaven and earth, 00:22:41.66\00:22:43.43 then they're going to realize 00:22:43.46\00:22:45.73 that they are commandment breakers 00:22:45.79\00:22:47.46 and that they need a Savior and those that are honest, 00:22:47.50\00:22:51.10 those that are seeking truth and who want to be on God's side, 00:22:51.13\00:22:55.90 they're going to be hungry... 00:22:55.97\00:22:57.44 hungering for the cross of Calvary 00:22:57.47\00:23:00.78 and so the commandments of God would be lifted up 00:23:00.81\00:23:03.21 and the faith of Jesus would be lifted up 00:23:03.24\00:23:05.78 and God's people around the world 00:23:05.81\00:23:07.75 will lift Jesus up higher and higher and higher 00:23:07.78\00:23:09.32 and people will have a chance to look at the One who died 00:23:09.35\00:23:13.32 on the cross for the sins of the whole world 00:23:13.36\00:23:15.89 and they will realize that Jesus died 00:23:15.92\00:23:18.49 because we have broken God's law... 00:23:18.53\00:23:20.83 that's why He died... sin is breaking the commandments 00:23:20.86\00:23:24.17 including the fourth... and Jesus agonized... 00:23:24.20\00:23:26.97 He suffered... and He died on a cruel cross 00:23:27.00\00:23:29.84 2,000 years ago for your sins and for my sins 00:23:29.87\00:23:32.67 where we've broken the law 00:23:32.71\00:23:34.14 that's why His heart was broken on Calvary 00:23:34.18\00:23:38.08 and then, hallelujah, He rose from the dead 00:23:38.11\00:23:41.88 and then, the world will be brought 00:23:41.92\00:23:44.49 to a final point of decision 00:23:44.52\00:23:46.72 whose side will... will people be on? 00:23:46.76\00:23:51.23 Will they choose the beast or will they choose God? 00:23:51.26\00:23:54.96 Will they choose tradition or will they choose truth? 00:23:55.03\00:23:58.70 Will they choose the day that man has changed 00:23:58.73\00:24:03.51 and is it now enforcing by Law? 00:24:03.54\00:24:05.74 Or will they choose the day 00:24:05.77\00:24:07.91 that God has written with His own finger 00:24:07.94\00:24:09.64 on two tables of stone 00:24:09.68\00:24:11.55 that ultimately that day... points to Jesus Christ Himself 00:24:11.58\00:24:16.25 as the Maker of heaven and earth? 00:24:16.28\00:24:18.15 These are the choices... that's what the Bible says 00:24:18.19\00:24:20.76 I'm not making this up, 00:24:20.79\00:24:22.36 these verses are going to be read around the world 00:24:22.39\00:24:25.99 and the Holy Spirit is going to be talking to people's hearts 00:24:26.03\00:24:29.40 just like the Spirit of God is talking to you... 00:24:29.43\00:24:32.33 verse 11 says, 00:24:32.37\00:24:33.94 "Don't get the Mark of the Beast" 00:24:33.97\00:24:35.40 and verse 12 says, 00:24:35.44\00:24:36.91 "Here is the patience of the saints; 00:24:36.94\00:24:39.44 here are they that keep the commandments of God 00:24:39.47\00:24:44.11 and the faith of Jesus. " 00:24:44.15\00:24:47.12 And once everyone makes their final choice, 00:24:47.15\00:24:49.32 people that choose to believe a lie... 00:24:49.35\00:24:52.15 that choose to believe in Rome's authority 00:24:52.19\00:24:54.89 and in the change of the Sabbath into Sunday... 00:24:54.92\00:24:57.06 once they know the light and the truth from the Bible... 00:24:57.09\00:24:59.96 if they choose to go along with it, 00:25:00.00\00:25:01.63 they get the Mark in their foreheads. 00:25:01.66\00:25:03.23 Those that know it's not right, they don't believe in force, 00:25:03.26\00:25:06.57 they don't believe this was really something that's from God 00:25:06.60\00:25:09.87 but they choose to do it anyway because... 00:25:09.90\00:25:11.44 "Hey, they've got to... 00:25:11.47\00:25:12.81 they've got to feed their families... you know... 00:25:12.84\00:25:14.18 they can't buy or sell" unless they go along with the Mark... 00:25:14.21\00:25:16.34 they're going to get the Mark in their hands. 00:25:16.38\00:25:18.88 But God's going to have a people who do say, 00:25:18.91\00:25:21.32 "No way, you're not putting the Mark in my forehead 00:25:21.35\00:25:23.72 or in my hand... I'm going to follow Jesus, 00:25:23.75\00:25:25.55 I'm going to follow the Bible, I'm going to follow truth, 00:25:25.59\00:25:27.92 I'm going to follow the Ten Commandments... 00:25:27.96\00:25:29.29 no matter what... " 00:25:29.32\00:25:30.66 and then the doors of heaven will close 00:25:30.69\00:25:32.93 and the plagues will fall 00:25:32.96\00:25:34.86 on those that get the Mark of the Beast, 00:25:34.90\00:25:36.77 those that don't... God will protect all the way through 00:25:36.80\00:25:40.04 to the day... the great day when Jesus Christ comes again 00:25:40.10\00:25:43.30 and that will be our next... our next meeting... 00:25:43.34\00:25:45.91 it's on: Armageddon and the seven last plagues... 00:25:45.94\00:25:48.48 don't miss it. 00:25:48.51\00:25:49.84 During the Civil War... a long time ago in the 1860s... 00:25:49.88\00:25:53.38 somebody asked Abraham Lincoln and he said, 00:25:53.42\00:25:55.48 "Mr. Lincoln, do you believe that God is on our side 00:25:55.52\00:25:58.09 in this crisis over slavery?" 00:25:58.12\00:25:59.89 And Abraham Lincoln is said to have responded, 00:25:59.92\00:26:02.22 he said, "I'm not so concerned 00:26:02.26\00:26:04.06 whether God is on our side or not, 00:26:04.13\00:26:05.86 my biggest concern is, are we on His side?" 00:26:05.89\00:26:09.60 And that's God's concern as well, 00:26:09.63\00:26:12.67 Are you on His side? Am I on His side? 00:26:12.70\00:26:14.70 What are we going to do? 00:26:14.74\00:26:16.07 Again, the Bible says, not the voice of Steve Wohlberg, 00:26:16.10\00:26:19.31 it's not from one particular church, 00:26:19.34\00:26:22.31 it's God's Word... Revelation 14:12... 00:26:22.34\00:26:25.18 "Here is the patience of the saints: 00:26:25.21\00:26:27.95 here are they that keep the commandments of God, 00:26:27.98\00:26:32.12 and the faith of Jesus.
